60+ fps
(one only gets a few fps with Intel graphics)
I personally don't run Wine or games, since I use my coputer for computing. This laptop with Radeon Mobility graphics was the same price as one with Intel graphics, but the AMD/ATI graphics hardware is of course far superior.
The Radeon driver is not slow at all.
If Wine has a problem with the open source Radeon driver, then it is high time Wine fixed this. If they can't figure out how, perhaps the Wine project should simply adopt the Gallium3D state tracker for Direct3D.

You are correct. In Firefox 11, the trouble shooting information says this:
All the more impressive then that the Radeon open source driver can still achieve 60+ fps for this test (where Intel drivers get only a few fps) when Mozilla is not utilising 3d acceleration features directly. Firefox is getting this rendering performance boost via the Linux OS graphics layer drivers rendering the desktop.Code:Graphics Adapter Description: X.Org -- Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR Vendor ID: X.Org Device ID: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR Driver Version: 2.1 Mesa 8.0-rc2 WebGL Renderer: X.Org -- Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR -- 2.1 Mesa 8.0-rc2 GPU Accelerated Windows: 0
If it is still slow, then it is almost certainly a problem with Wine. AFAIK nothing else has a problem with the ever-imporving performance of the open source Radeon driver for Linux.I think it's the driver code, not Wine. Wine is coupling to the open GL routines, so i'd guess it's not entwining itself with any driver projects.
AFAIK full OpenGL 3 compliance for the open source Radeon driver just missed out by a matter of days for the release of Mesa 8.
AFAIK it is available in Mesa 8.0.1. So why can't Wine use it properly when everything else can?

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that KDE devs have the ability to contact someone at AMD. They don't. Their options are:
1. Open a ticket on the public bugtracker. I think we all know how much good that would do.
2. Write a blog informing all interested parties and hope word trickles in to AMD. That's the current solution.
3. Maybe try and find a forum that AMD sometimes visits, and see if you can find someone there. That's basically Phoronix, where we can hope Bridgman notices this and passes on word to the fglrx team.
There really isn't a 4th option - AMD has no open source evangelist taking calls from open source teams. At least not on the KDE side, and clearly not on the Gnome Shell side either.
Perhaps one of the distros, like Fedora, could facilitate a phone call. I guess that's option 4.
In the case of fglrx, the driver is just clearly broken.
I see no reason why Window Managers have to bloat themselves with dirty workarounds and legacy code in order to make the broken drivers work with them. I really hope this move will finally convince AMD devs to fix their awful binary blob because it's really disappointing to see that fglrx still cannot handle OpenGL 2.x/ES correctly...
Anyways, don't forget it's just about the Composited mode of KWin. Users of legacy/broken/unsupported drivers/hardware can still run KDE just fine without Compositing.
I guess it will really bother only when Wayland will be around, since it requires Compositing to be enabled.

It seems like I end up explaining this an awful lot.
Firefox accelerates that page through XRender, which uses the 2D X driver. It gets that automatically by drawing everything through Cairo.
3D rendering is supported through WebGL, using the OSS and fglrx drivers.
3D acceleration, through layers, is not implemented yet, but is frankly rather limited in what it will do anyway. The main work is being done by Cairo/XRender (at the moment - there are plans to change this eventually).
60+ fps - with intel graphics (HD3000)!
But there will be other problems, when people get forced from fglrx to radeon: missing OpenCL and video acceleration. Especially those low-power-devices (e450 etc) need it for decent performance. And ATM. it is only supported through fglrx (though radeon-guys say they are working on it).
And Xrender, in turn, uses the GPU hardware acceleration fratures exposed by the graphics driver.
It is designed to target the 3D graphics capabilities of newer video cards.
And Xrender uses the GPU hardware acceleration features of the Radeon driver.
Mozilla are eventually going to switch to their own graphics canvas called Azure.
Azure will use the GPU hardware acceleration via OpenGL.
All being well, Azure will be even faster in using the GPU & driver via OpenGL that Cairo was in using the GPU & driver via Xrender.The back-ends for the Azure library are Direct2D, Quartz, OpenGL, Direct3D, and Cairo. On Windows, Direct2D is the primary target for Azure while Apple Mac OS X users will have Quartz, and Linux users have OpenGL. If hardware acceleration fails, Azure can fall-back to having Cairo sit underneath. Cairo is also used for Gecko's printing support. Mozilla's copy of Cairo has also been modified to take advantage of Azure's internal stateless surface API. Direct3D 9 and Direct3D 10 back-ends for Azure are also being developed.
I prefer the radeon driver but on my laptop I have had to switch to the blob to keep save power. And for gaming the open driver is to slow, be it wine or not, the open driver can even be a bit slow running my desktop in certen situations.

S & K Electronics presents six-figure check to Tribal Council The Tribal Council got to handle some big cash on the receiving end for a little while July 26, when S & K Electronics' general manager Jim Paro presented them a $173,734.25 check in payment of a Tribal loan. "The loan isn't due until August," said Paro, "so we're actually paying it off a little bit early." He added that when this year is over, the company will be almost worth what the Tribes has put into it so far. "We used to sit up here and shudder everytime S & K came before the Council," said Poison district's Pat Lefthand. "Realizing [S & K] has gone through some hard times, Jim Paro has to be commended for doing a good job." Paro has been the general manager for nearly two years. Under his management the company has made a significant comeback from a large deficit. "I have to appreciate the guts the Council had," Elmo district representative Laurence Kenmille said as he reflected upon past Council approval for more and more financing. "We could have sold it down the drain long time ago," he said. "It would have been easier." Paro agreed, saying the last $550,000 the Council approved gave them some room to get into a comfortable position. He said the Tribal Council and the S & K board of directors should all be commended for their efforts. 10 10 CO Grizzly sighting prompts McDonald closure The sighting of a four grizzly bears ~ a male, a female and two cubs ~ two weeks ago led Tribal officials to order McDonald Peak in the Mission Mountain Wilderness closed to humans, effective June 21. Tribal Fish and Game has been monitoring the area since 1981. Closures have been ordered in five of the past seven years after bears, or signs of them, were noted, to decrease the chances of confrontations with humans. Wildlife biologists believe the area is an important pre-winter feeding site, attractive to the animals because of the large quantity of ladybugs and Army cutworms that hatch there every summer. All trails to the area have been posted with warning signs. The closure is expected to remain in effect until sometime in September. Moose permits needed on and off the Reservation — See the reminder on page four. 22

When will GXT 3.0 support Desktop Example
When will GXT 3.0 support Desktop Example
So - I tried creating a new project with the old Destop
package com.extjs.gxt.samples.desktop.client
It seems like GXT3.0 does not support Desktop from 2.2.5.
1. Do you plan to support this in 3.0
2. If So when?
15 Nov 2011 6:11 PM #2
should I start a new project on 2.2.5 if my intention is to use the Desktop

These was in the SRC folder, and in the GXT javadoc in 2.2.5. So, it appears as part of the product. Not as a sample.
As we used this feature as the fundation of a major project, we will feel very unconfortable if this will be throwed away.
So, GXT team, what's you plan about this ?

Pay freeze bill heading for House vote
Wednesday - 2/13/2013, 9:04pm EST
The House Rules Committee voted to fast-track legislation extending the pay freeze for federal employees through the end of the fiscal year.
Federal workers are now slated to get a 0.5 percent pay increase in March. However, the measure approved by the House Rules Committee, introduced by Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), would block that increase, extending the current pay freeze into a third full year.
The mostly party-line vote in the committee allows the bill to bypass regular House procedure and head straight to the floor for a vote.
DeSantis said his bill will save $11 billion over 10 years and does not affect pay increases stemming from promotions or length of service.
Federal-employee unions and groups condemned the bill ahead of the committee vote.
"It is clear that this bill is nothing more than another direct attack on hardworking public servants," President of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees (NARFE) Association Joseph Beaudoin wrote in a Feb. 12 letter to lawmakers. "Instead of pushing political messaging bills, Congress should focus on the real issues lawmakers need to address in the next two months, including the threat of sequestration and the expiring continuing resolution."
Unions estimate the current two-year federal pay freeze will net the government $75 billion in deficit savings.
White House opposes bill
A related measure — an amendment introduced by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) seeking to replace the automatic, across-the-board budget cuts, known as sequestration, with alternative cuts — failed to garner enough votes to head to the House floor.
The committee also voted down an amendment that would have separated statutory pay increases for members of Congress from pay increases for federal employees. In that case, only lawmakers would have been affected by the DeSantis bill.
In a statement of administration policy, the White House said it opposes the DeSantis bill, but stopped short of an overt veto threat. The 0.5 percent pay increase mandated by President Barack Obama via executive order "will help ensure that the government remains competitive in attracting and retaining the nation's best and brightest individuals for public service," the White House stated.
The bill is expected to pass the House but would likely stall in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Will federal pay freeze rear its head again?

Phoronix: Early Benchmark Preview Of The Linux 3.8 Kernel
While there's already been articles looking at the Nouveau NVIDIA driver and AMD Radeon driver on the forthcoming Linux 3.8 kernel, up today are some early computational benchmarks of this new kernel. From an Intel Core i7 "Ivy Bridge" system, some general-purpose Linux benchmarks were conducted from the Linux 3.5 kernel release through the latest Linux 3.8 Git development kernel.

As I was fishing today at Ralph Clark Park Lake, an older gentleman walked up to me to ask me what I was doing (Like you can't tell that I'm fishing). The thought crossed my mind, "How many fish have I missed out on, because I love talking to people so much".
I've met so many fisherman, and usually as I walk past them, I shoot out a quick hello attached to something like "Any bites". The normal response that I get is silence or a dirty look. Not in all situations, some of the people that I've met have been nice, and at times have even given some good fishing advice. Yet the majority of the times it seems to be people coming up to me, and I end up talking with them for about 30 minutes or so.
For example on this last trip out, I was only able to set aside about 2 hours to fish. Of those two hours I would say that about 1 1/2 hours were spent talking to people.
The first conversation was with a guy out fishing with his kid, and he looked like he had no idea what he was doing. I showed him how to rig up some Powerbait on a treble hook (as I mashed his barbs down, explaining the importance of doing it). By the time I had left, his son had caught his first fish, and the dad was one happy camper.
My second conversation was with an older Mexican guy that I spoke with en Espanol. He asked me what kind of fishing I was doing. So I explained to him what Fly Fishing was, and let him cast my rod for about 10 minutes. Hopefully adding one new person to the Fly Fishing Community!
Finally I moved on, and had a chance to wet my line. After about 10 minutes I was into an nice little stocker Rainbow Trout, that I had caught on a Bead Head Woolly Bugger. Immediately after, a guy who had been tossing around a Swim Bait (Trout Imitation) that had to weigh over a pound walked up to me and asked "What ya throwin"? I showed him my fly rod, as he continued to explain to me that he had no idea you could use a Fly Rod anywhere other than on a Trout Stream.
While I walked back to the car, he followed me as I showed him pictures of the different species that I catch on a fly rod. So I guess it's a trade off, I may lose some time fishing, but every time I'm out I get to meet some really interesting person.
It guess that's why we call it Urban Fly Venturing, a Disease Worth Catching!

With almost a billion friends on Facebook, six billion cell phone accounts globally, and twenty billion "things" from refrigerators to bridge spans to micro-medical devices soon to be wired by Internet, the digital age is upon us in full force. Everyone and everything is connected or soon will be by social media, on mobile platforms, and in the cloud. That puts vast new arrays of assets in play, from crowds to drones, sensors to shoppers. If teams can leverage those assets, hard and soft, digital and real-world, mass them quickly or marshal them with precision accuracy, teams can gain advantage as never before.
The recent Kony2012 viral video offers proof that something special is happening as a result of all this connectedness: digital collaboration has come of age. Garnering 100 million YouTube views in six days — the fastest ever to reach that mark — Kony2012 demonstrated that digital collaboration can create astounding effects not possible just five years ago.
Achieving those effects is no accident. While much is made of "emergent collaboration," Kony2012 went viral by design. The Invisible Children, Inc. team that masterminded the campaign comprised veteran media activists and fundraisers pursuing a common enough goal (a criminal's arrest), but using skills and means unique to the digital age: a viral message, built on a 30-minute video, self-replicating among millions of real-world and online partisans across networks.
Emergent, yes. But no less planned or executed than another viral blockbuster — the OMGPOP team's March 2012 breakout of Draw Something, a Pictionary-like game. Three weeks after launch, gamers, Facebook friends and Twitter followers had downloaded the Draw Something app 35 million times, created over one billion pictures and were creating three thousand drawings per second. Close interplay between social and mobile platforms accelerated the effect. Collaboration between OMGPOP and Couchbase, its database partner, assured it. Teams scaled the cloud implementation to handle the massive load without downtime. The result: by late March 2012, Draw Something had 15 million daily players and was the Apple AppStore's #1 word game in 84 countries.
Viral-by-design is a unique effect of digital collaboration. The Invisible Children and the OMGPOP teams each achieved it.
Can you? Don't stop at viral-by-design. Today, teams can achieve seven further effects unique to collaboration in the digital age. They are the fuel in the engine of the networked world. Each can confer decisive advantage in the marketplace or the school room, the battlespace or the political race. Each is the new work of teams today.
1. Precision Identity. In the digital world, where you are defines who you are. Everyone has a unique geospatial identity: you and only you were over "there" a minute ago and over "here" now. Competitors know your customers by the stores they visit payday Fridays — and grab their attention and wallet on Thursdays. Strike teams know insurgents by the mud huts they visit, then find and disassemble terrorist networks faster. Precision identity is a capability. Do you have it?
2. Mass Customization. From Nikes to K-12 curricula, drone strikes to personalized medicines, teams can mass produce unique solutions for anyone. The truly disruptive move in K-12 education, for example, will be personalized curricula uniquely customized student-by-student. Love skateboards? Here's the physics of staying on your deck jumping a 360-degree ollie while riding fakie. Yes, you can download an app for that!
3. Common Operating Pictures. Dozens of systems and networks tell some of the stories about your firm. None tell the whole story. Now you can line them all up, from social media, consumer insights, competitive intelligence, marketplace measurement, sales, and distribution. Share a total view of performance at a single point in time with partners and colleagues so everyone is on the same page. You won't be the first to get this view. Don't be the last.
4. Rapid Innovation/Move-to-Market Cycles. "Collaboration with customers slows me down." Wrong: collaboration with customers speeds your move to market. You avoid rework and get value in the hands of users fast. Just ask Steve Ellis, EVP at Wells Fargo, whose team took Wells's wholesale services online in a year. "Fastest uptake I ever saw," he said. The result: spectacular growth in transactions, from $1 trillion to $11 trillion over a decade.
5. Crowd-Sourced Creation. Whether online (think: Wikipedia) or on the fly (think: Twitter), in design (think: Local Motors' Rally Fighter car) or in finance (think: Kickstarter), millions contributing a little make crowds smarter, richer and happier, faster. Love the crowd; it will love you right back.
6. Real-Time Situational Awareness. What's going on in the factory across the globe, on the store-shelf across town, or with that crowd straight ahead? You can achieve 360/real-time awareness of your situation now, from remote sensing to location awareness. By the way — you already feature in someone else's 360 "SA". But you knew that!
7. Predicting the Future Faster, Sooner. "Big data" analytics with real-world guides let you see big-picture patterns and micro-trends with astonishing precision, in time to seize the day or head off disaster. That knack market leaders have for knowing what will happen next, and when? That's by design.
Transforming effects to results requires strategy, management, and even more collaboration. Barack Obama is President of the United States today because David Plouffe stitched together Obama2008's team of campaign veterans, e-commerce pros, and social media experts. That team achieved all eight digital-age effects, supercharged partisans for age-old purposes — raise money, knock on doors, and get out the vote — and gained victory on November 4, 2008. "The big difference this year is not the technology," Joe Rospars, the campaign's social media chief said. "It's the coordination."
Effects alone never guarantee results. Despite Kony2012, Joseph Kony remains free. But make no mistake. There's plenty of room on history's ash heap for those who assume this all happens by chance.
For teams that can attain these effects by capability — by design — watch out, world.

"Count on a serious court battle if a few state legislators have their way and Intelligent Design and other religious interpretations of science are allowed to be taught in public schools," warns the Cleveland Plain Dealer (August 22, 2014). ASIH calls for repeal of Tennessee's antiscience law
At its 2014 meeting held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists adopted a resolution encouraging the state of Tennessee to repeal the antiscience law — nicknamed the "monkey bill" — adopted there in 2012. Update on Ohio's antiscience bill

X5 Superlite Tourmaline & Ionic Professional Travel Hair Dryer
MarciUnited StatesHairDark BrownNormal HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairQuiet And PowerfulI was pleasantly surprised at how powerful this hair dryer is! The small size of the unit is perfect to travel with no matter where you go, but it has a full sized power that dries your hair quickly. The motor is quiet compared to other dryers I have owned. I have fine hair and it doesn't friz up at all (which has happened with other brands) and it dries it quickly. The only thing you have to be aware of is the switch that toggles back and forth between voltages.....just make sure it is on the voltage for the country you are in. I would definately recommend this unit to anyone!posted May 19, 2014Link to this post
LindyCOHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairT-5 Travel 1600 Watt Blow Dryer (dual Voltage)I own a Travel Agency and Travel ALOT!!I I needed a small, compact, lightweight, dual voltage professional dryer. For those that travel you know there is no perfect travel blow dryer; not yet!! This is the closest I've found. It weighs only 30 oz. Although It may not be as retro looking as the Sedu Travel or even the Sultra Travel; it packs a great punch in a small dryer, and I like the look of it!! It is not a monster size at all like one comment suggested. If you have thick hair I wouldn't waist time with purchasing dryers less then 1600 Watts in any type, unless you want to spend 15 minutes plus drying your hair?!! This morning took me exactly 3 minutes, WOW!!posted Mar 26, 2014Link to this post
KarenMarylandHairLight BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat Hair Dryer But Can't Clean Air Intake FilterThis is my second one of the X5 travel dryer and I love it. I use it every day, but then my hair is fairly fine. I got rid of the first one after about two years because it started blowing so hot it was burning my scalp and then finally stopped working. Now my second one is two years old and doing the same thing... blowing way too hot. I thought the air intake filter might need cleaning. The directions that came with the dryer says you can lift the grille right off to clean the filter. However, I've found no way to remove the grille and had two pretty handy men try it as well. Does anyone know how to remove the intake grille?posted Mar 5, 2014Link to this post
DeeUnited StatesA Must-read Review If You Own Or Plan To Own This Hair DryerI don't usually write reviews, but after reading some of the reviews for this hair dryer I feel compelled to share my experience. To the reviewer who said this hair dryer is unsafe, did you know the hair dryer has a 220V setting? I had to find out about this the hard way when I used it for the first time @ 220V. I was lucky enough to had used it in the States where it's 110V, so when the hair dryer got unusually hot I immediately realized something was wrong. I quickly turned off the unit and looked to see if there was a voltage setting. The reason I suspected that was because I thought the higher voltage was sending more current through the dryer and therefore making it hotter (I have an engineering background). After a minute or so of searching, there it was! On the back of the handle, there is a tiny circle that's the size of a pen tip. I used a pen and inserted the pen tip into the circle and pushed the circle downward to move it to the lower position. I think if your hair dryer is relatively new, it's probably marked with the voltage next to the positions. But my markings had worn out, so I can't make out what it says. But basically , top position is for 110V and bottom position is for 220V. It's a shame that the voltage setting is not more obvious. I think a lot of the too hot and too cold issues might be because the hair dryer is on the wrong setting. Basically, if your actual voltage is 220V and your setting is on 110V, your hair dryer will get way too hot; and if your actual voltage is 110V and your setting is on 220V, your hair dryer will feel too cold / under powered. Definitely one star off for not making it more clear to the users. So why am I still giving it five stars? Well, simply because I'm completely blown away by how well it performs. I own 4 hair dryers and one of the them is the "highly rated" Sedu that's currently considered top-of-the-line best-of-folica "it" dryer, yet the X5 travel hair dryer blows it out of the water. Previously when I compared the X5 to the Sedu, I had near shoulder-length hair and the difference was not as obvious. At the time, I felt the X5 gave me shiner and smoother hair and the Sedu was a drying my hair about 20% faster. I was switching between the two hair dryers just based on which bathroom I was in when I needed to dry my hair. Well recently, my hair has gotten much longer - it's near waist-length now and I've been using the Sedu exclusively for about two months. Dear was I dreading every single day for a week about how horrible my hair felt. It was dry, lifeless, tangled, and weighing down. I tried to change hair products and use more conditioner, but nothing helped. So I thought my hair had just gotten too long and I had to cut it. Well, the nearest haircut appointment is two months away, so last week I "accidentally" started using the X5 exclusively. Boy, was I astounded by the result! I didn't notice it right away because I had stopped paying attention to my hopeless hair situation. But the next day I thought to myself, wow, my hair feels really nice and a couple of days later I thought, wow my hair looks so pretty and healthy and shiny and smooth and full and lifted! And then, came that epiphany moment... It's the X5! It was undeniable that the X5 alone has completely turned my hair around in less than 1 week! I know it sounds insane, but my long hair is soooo gorgeous now and nothing else I do to it has changed.posted Sep 2, 2013Link to this post
LsSame Or Better Dry Time Than My 1875 Watt Full-size DryerThis hair dryer does what it advertises. I can dry and style my hair in approximately 10 minutes. My hair is bob-length, straight and fine, but holds moisture so takes a long time to dry. For comparison, my daily hair dryer dries my hair in about the same time - maybe a minute longer - it's an 1875w Hot Tools Helix. The great thing with this dryer is that it is so lightweight. I'm using it as my everyday dryer, and I can hardly wait to travel with it. I love it!posted Aug 21, 2013Link to this post
SHairDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairGreat Dryer!I've been using this X5 dryer for almost 8 years now. It's a fantastic dryer. It works really well, very lightweight, folds up nicely, doesn't take a lot of space, and pretty powerful. The one I had just died (after 8 years) and I'm buying another 2 of these (one to have in the house and one for travel).posted Feb 27, 2013Link to this post
TraceyMontrealHairDark BrownNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairExcellent Travel Hair DryerI bought this specifically for an upcoming trip to Ireland and Scotland, and it worked perfectly! It is quite powerful and dried my hair quickly. If using this somewhere where you will need an adaptor, make sure you are only using an adaptor and not a voltage converter as well, since the hair dryer has its own coverter, you may damage your hair dryer if you use it with a voltage converter as well.posted Oct 26, 2012Link to this post
KarenA Real ZeroI purchased this item for a trip to four countries in Europe (UK, Germany, Vienna, and France). The blow dryer failed to deliver at every destination. The X5 would power-up, but immediately shut down and not operate. Totally useless. I know it was not caused by the adapters I used because I used the same adapter without issue for the CROC travel flat iron I purchased at the same time I bought this worthless X5 Travel Hair Dryer. Adding insult to injury is the fact that Folica would not allow me to return the X5 Superlousy Tourmaline because the 30 day period had passed, despite the fact that I was unable to return the item while traveling abroad for an extended period. The best Folica could offer was warranty service. I had to pay return shipping (apx $13.00) to get a replacement for an item I didn't really want to risk trying again. Now I have my "replacement" X5 but have no desire to drag this piece of junk along on another international trip since there is no way to test it before departure. Do yourself a favor, save yourself some money, spare yourself a lot of needless hassle, avoid the cost of return shipping: BUY A DIFFERENT TRAVEL DRYER!posted Aug 27, 2012Link to this post
AmandaHairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairGreat For Short Hair!I have a short bob and this dryer cut my styling time in half. It also leaves my hAir with more shine. It is small, but that's one of the reasons I got it.posted Jul 25, 2012Link to this post
JingUnited StatesStay Away! Not Safe!!!I bought the X5 in October, 2011, because I wanted something light, small and effective when I travel internationally as a back-up. Since almost all hotels provide hair dryers, I didn't have a chance to use it until last month. I was in Spain, where the power line is 220v. The X5 started getting very noisy in a few minutes, and then, all of a sudden it got very very hot! I jerked and threw it out, but not before it burned my neck and my palm. My palm is now fine, but my neck was burned very badly. I was in pain for several weeks, and I still have the marks. Unfortunately for some reason the website won't allow me to upload the picture I took of the burns. Anyway, just a warning that this is an extremely dangerous device. I shuddered at the possibility that had I reacted a little bit slower, it could have burned my scalp and face!!!posted Jun 15, 2012Link to this post

Phoronix: A Day Later, Hybrid Graphics On Linux Does More
Just yesterday morning we reported on hybrid graphics coming to Linux in a crude form, which allowed dual-GPU notebook systems to switch between the onboard GPUs via a kernel patch but what made it crude was that it wasn't seamless switching within the running X.Org Server (it won't be this way for some time) and it didn't actually turn off the other GPU when the other one was in use. In the past 24 hours, however, David Airlie has published three new versions of this Linux kernel patch. The second version of Airlie's "switcheroo" code as it's called brought support for powering up and powering down the GPUs...
Now all we need is a way to do all this without Xorg going belly up. Hope the Xorg people can cook something up for the next+1 release.
Maybe this will finally give the Xorg folks the motivation they need to do GPU objects?
kudos++ to dave
Hi, I would like to test this patch, but I have no idea how to start...
My computer (M51Ta) has this hybrid graphic card configuration:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650
I downloaded the "0001-vga_switcheroo-initial-implementation-v4.patch"... But I don't know how to use it.
Killing X can be worked around with x2go or Nx. I don't know how performance'll be though.
Great news!

Cute Quality Pants
Just as I thought they would be. Very nice! Thanks
July 11, 2013
great for work
zero see-through.
They are spandex but hold their shape well.
pair perfectly with so many items!
I'm so so happy with this purchase.
June 26, 2013
Love it
I keep coming back for this. I am that kind of crazy busy person, so I don't mind to have five or six backups
June 21, 2013
Because of the waistband
I keep coming back for this piece because of the creative design of the gold waistband. It still looks simple and elegant as white pants, but the special design makes it beyond.
June 11, 2013
Flattering fit
White pants can be difficult but these fit well- true to size. I wear a 0; the length is great and they do stretch out a bit if they feel tight at first.
Gold waistband is subtle and a nice touch.
Only slight negative is that they are tight in calves if yours aren't very thin, so I leave ankle zipper undone and they look fine.
June 1, 2013
Perfect as shown in picture
I love the waist band. Little bit loose but overall good fitting. Keeping it. wanted to have it perfect white ankle pant and now I have it.
May 20, 2013
Great Purchase
I've never bought white pants - or really any pants- without first trying them on. However, I got these at a good price and took a chance. So glad I did. They are thicker than most white pants I have tried on, so they don't show everything underneath. They fit well, are comfortable, and the gold waistband really makes them stand out.
May 9, 2013
Awesome pants
I received numerous compliments.
These are a beautiful pants and matching jacket outfit.

A Chinese Instacart clone raises $100 million
Dmall takes grocery orders online and employs workers who buy the items in supermarkets and delivery them quickly to consumers.
The e-retailer may not have counted on all the big rivals it would face in this new frontier of entertainment.
Netflix was riding high in June 2007 when its founder and CEO, Reed Hastings, delivered a keynote address at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition. But Hastings didn't focus on the past success his company had achieved with its game-changing business model—offering a highly personalized web site where consumers could rent movies on DVD for convenient home delivery by the local letter carrier—a strategy that was in the process of driving Blockbuster and many other video stores out of business or into bankruptcy. Instead, he focused on the future, in which, he said, consumers would access movies, TV shows and other entertainment in the form of video streamed from the Internet.
Today it's clear Hastings was right. And yet Netflix is in the news because of the disastrous fall of its stock price, which has lost three-quarters of its value in three months, costing Netflix investors a cool $12 billion. There's a lesson in this for other online retailers, which I'll come back to shortly.
What went wrong for Netflix? In a nutshell, the company had to shell out a lot of money to license content that it could transmit to consumers who increasingly were taking to its video-streaming service. And as the content providers began to see how popular video streaming was becoming—and how it threatened the revenue of their existing customers, from movie theaters to cable TV channels—they raised their prices.
Plus, other big players saw what Hastings saw, and they got into the game. Really big players, like Amazon.com, and the big TV networks through their Hulu online video venture. More recently Google has entered the game by offering movies on its immensely popular YouTube site. And Facebook is getting in on the action, too, testing movie rentals directly on the social network.
As competition drove prices higher, Netflix had to pay more to provide enough content to keep video streamers interested—and even with its pricey deals the streaming selection falls far short of what consumers can get on DVD. Clearly, content wasn't going to get cheaper. Netflix initially offered video streaming as a free add-on to its DVD-by-mail service, but as the cost of streaming content soared, that became unsustainable. Netflix had to charge more for streaming content in order to be able to afford to offer more of it. That's what led Netflix to introduce the new pricing plans this summer, setting off a customer revolt that cost the company 800,000 U.S. subscribers in the third quarter, and sending investors storming for the exits.
There's general agreement that Netflix bungled the communication of this pricing shift, as Hastings has now admitted on several occasions. But the bigger problem is that it didn't account for how big an opportunity this would be, and the level of competition it would attract.
There's the lesson for other online retailers: Recognize that your success will draw new entrants. By every measure consumers are shopping more on the web. And that includes researching and sharing, as well as purchasing. Even in a tough economy, many e-retailers are growing revenue 10-30% a year. Quite a few are expanding into new categories and broadening their selection. But the Netflix experience suggests that you have to look around the corner at who else might be attracted by the same opportunities you see. Will you find yourself competing against Amazon, which is steadily expanding into new merchandise categories? Will you find a major competitor deciding to offer free shipping on all orders, as L.L. Bean did earlier this year?
As Netflix has learned, the very power of the web is making it a magnet for the biggest companies. That's not to say smaller retailers won't be able to complete. In fact, focused web merchants are doing very well, especially those that sell exclusively on the web. But they still would do well to assume that more competition is heading their way.

Light Dimmers, Controls & Wall Plates |
There's more to lighting--and to life--than simply on and off, black or white. Light dimmers offer flexibility in that area in-between, giving you just the right level of brightness as dictated by a given situation or desired mood. Use the power of light to create an air of romance, relaxation or welcoming energy. With the same set of lights, lighting controls can give you full brightness for a cocktail party one night, and then turn them down for glare-free TV viewing the next.

Dodgers look to bounce back as Ryu faces Phils
Philadelphia sends Lee after second straight win in Los Angeles
While the Dodgers may have had their six-game winning streak snapped on Friday night in a 16-1 loss to the Phillies, the team still believes its best is yet to come.
Much of that optimism comes from the fact that Los Angeles is just starting to get healthy. With Hanley Ramirez past his left hamstring issue and Matt Kemp having come off the disabled list on Tuesday, the Dodgers are finally playing with much of the team they envisioned heading into the year.
"We get to use our guys the way we designed it," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Everybody has kind of fallen into their spots. It's kind of the way we planned it coming out of Spring Training, but without [Yasiel] Puig."
Mattingly said he's also noticed the team playing with more energy and excitement during each game.
"I think momentum grows. When you start putting some wins together, guys start feeling better. This is the first time we've really sustained anything all year. Now you want to ride it as long as you possibly can because you know you can't keep this pace up," Mattingly said. "But we're capable of playing high-percentage baseball and winning at a high percentage if we get it rolling and everything stays the way it is."
It will be up to Hyun-Jin Ryu to get the Dodgers back in the win column on Saturday against the Phillies at Dodger Stadium.
Ryu is a good candidate to make that happen, having gone 4-1 with a 1.81 ERA at Chavez Ravine this season. He's also pitched at least six innings in 14 of his 15 outings this season.
On Monday against the Giants, Ryu took a no-decision, allowing one run on eight hits in 6 2/3 innings.
However, Ryu will have some tough competition in Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee, who's been on a roll as of late.
He's 7-0 with a 2.00 ERA in his last 10 starts, last losing on May 1 to the Indians. In that span, Lee (9-2, 2.51 ERA) has tossed at least six innings in each start and allowed three earned runs or fewer nine times.
In his last start against the Padres, Lee allowed two runs on eight hits in eight innings of work for a no-decision. He also struck out seven and walked one in a 4-3 loss for the Phillies in extra innings.
"I don't know what to say," Lee said after the game. "I felt like I pitched good and gave us a chance to win and it just didn't happen."
Phillies: Howard gets two days off
First baseman Ryan Howard was out of the starting lineup on Friday with Dodgers left-hander Chris Capuano on the hill and expected to sit again Saturday.
With Howard hitless in his last 16 at-bats and the Phillies facing left-handers on Friday and Saturday, manager Charlie Manuel decided to let Howard clear his head and hopefully get back on track.
"He understands," Manuel said. "He was fine with it. We just want him to start feeling better at the plate against lefties, feeling better and seeing them better."
Howard, 33, is hitting .268 with 20 doubles, two triples, 10 home runs, 41 RBIs and a .789 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.
Dodgers: Van Slyke activated
The Dodgers activated outfielder Scott Van Slyke from the 15-day disabled list on Friday and designated infielder Luis Cruz for assignment.
Cruz was the Opening Day third baseman, but struggled offensively and hit .127 with two doubles, one home run and six RBIs in 45 games between third and shortstop.
"Luis just got caught in a box this year," Mattingly said. "He struggled early and then Juan has swung the bat pretty well. Trying to get him at-bats after that got tougher. He needed at-bats to get out of it, and he wasn't getting those, and we couldn't send him anywhere to get at-bats."
In 24 games with the Dodgers before getting left shoulder bursitis, Van Slyke hit .221 with five doubles, six homers and 11 RBIs. Mattingly said he envisions using Van Slyke in the outfield against left-handed starters and occasionally at first base to give Adrian Gonzalez a rest.
Worth noting
• Dodgers outfielder Carl Crawford will begin a Minor League rehab assignment on Sunday, Mattingly confirmed on Friday.
• Triple-A Lehigh Valley right-hander Carlos Zambrano left after two innings Friday because of what the Phillies called "serious pain" in his right shoulder.

Memorial Day: Marines play football on Guadalcanal, fight (and die) on Okinawa
NOTE: I've served two stints at The Denver Post. I'm most proud of two stories I wrote in conjunction with Veterans Day — the first in 2000, the second in 2003. The first was about my father's wartime service as a P-38 fighter pilot in the Pacific, something he didn't talk about with his players or allow to be included in his biography during his long coaching career at the major college and NFL levels. The second was an offshoot of that, the product of additional research I did about what his teammates on the 1942 Helms Foundation national champion Wisconsin Badgers did in the war.
Here's the second story, about a Marine football game on Guadalcanal in 1944, shortly before the Sixth Marine Division moved on to the Battle of Okinawa. I featured Marine Walter "Bus" Bergman, a Denver native, Colorado A&M/State multi-sport star and later a state coaching legend. Bergman played in the game with three of my father's Wisconsin teammates. It ran in conjunction with Veterans Day to salute Bergman and other survivors, though many of the Marines mentioned — including two former Badgers — died on Okinawa. Now, sadly, it's even more appropriate for Memorial Day, because the World War II generation is leaving us.
My father died in 2001. Bus Bergman died in 2010. Many of the men I interviewed in my research have died since, also. This story is a small slice of what I discovered. (I couldn't find an online version of the story with a link.) Read more…

JORDAN - Exercise a high degree of caution
There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Jordan. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to civil unrest and demonstrations.
Regional Advisory for the Syrian border
Foreign Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against non-essential travel to all areas within 3 km of the border with Syria, due to incidents linked to the conflict in Syria. See Security for more information.
Regional Advisory for the Iraqi border
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada advises against non-essential travel to all areas within 3 km of the border with Iraq, due to incidents linked to the conflict in that country. See Security for more information.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information in its Travel Advice. In the event of a crisis situation that requires evacuation, the Government of Canada's policy is to provide safe transportation to the closest safe location. The Government of Canada will assist you in leaving a country or a region as a last resort, when all means of commercial or personal transportation have been exhausted. This service is provided on a cost-recovery basis. Onward travel is at your personal expense. Situations vary from one location to another, and there may be constraints on government resources that will limit the ability of the Government of Canada to provide assistance, particularly in countries or regions where the potential for violent conflict or political instability is high.
Areas within 3 km of the border with Syria (see Advisory)
Clashes involving small arms and mortar fire have occurred in the areas bordering Syria, a direct result of spill over from the ongoing conflict in that country.
On September 21, 2014, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) released a statement threatening retaliation for the American-led coalition campaign against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. The statement encouraged opportunistic and indiscriminate attacks against citizens and interests of countries supporting the coalition, including Canadians. Individuals and terrorist groups in the region may be inspired to carry out attacks in a show of solidarity with ISIL. Canadians could also be targeted by a terrorist attack and be considered kidnapping targets. Exercise a high degree of personal security awareness, maintain a heightened level of vigilance and be aware of your surroundings at all times.
There is a general terrorist threat throughout Jordan. From time to time, reports emerge that terrorists plan to attack specific locations in countries of the Arabian Peninsula. Targets could include government buildings, public areas, tourist sites, and Western interests. Security measures are currently in place and may be reinforced upon short notice. Maintain a high level of vigilance and personal security awareness at all times, exercise caution in areas known to be frequented by foreigners (commercial, public, tourist), monitor local developments and follow the advice of local authorities.
Civil unrest and demonstrations, some of which have turned violent, have been taking place since January 2011. Demonstrations are more likely to occur on Fridays, after noon prayer. Locations where demonstrations have taken place include the Al-Huseini Mosque in downtown Amman, King Hussein Park, Duwar A-Dakheliya and Jamal Abdel Nasser Square. Avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
The crime rate is low by regional standards, but petty crime occurs, especially in downtown Amman. Stay away from crowded areas. Do not show signs of affluence and keep your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents secure at all times.
Carjacking attempts have been reported in Amman. Victims are usually lured out of their car as the result of a minor collision or by another car blocking their route. If you are involved in an accident in an isolated area, stay in your car and call the police.
Accidents are quite common. Driving habits and styles differ markedly from those practised in Canada. Driving during daylight is preferable. Roaming animals and insufficient lighting pose hazards after dark.
If a pedestrian is injured in an accident, the driver is always considered guilty and may face imprisonment and heavy fines.
If you are involved in an accident, try to make financial arrangements with other involved drivers. In the event of traffic accidents resulting in personal injuries, police should be involved. In the event of traffic accidents resulting in personal injury, regardless of fault, drivers may be held for several days until responsibility is determined and restitution made.
Off-road driving can be hazardous and should only be undertaken in a convoy of four-wheel-drive vehicles with an experienced guide. Leave a travel itinerary with a family member or friend. Be well prepared and equipped with gasoline, water, food and a cellular phone.
Public transportation is usually very crowded and can be uncomfortable.
Cleanliness and mechanical reliability of taxis varies considerably. Book taxis through hotels.
See Transportation Safety in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Women's safety
There have been a number of reports of sexual harassment and assaults. Women should dress conservatively, travel in groups and in daylight. When taking a taxi, women should sit in the back seat. Consult our publication entitled Her Own Way: A Woman's Safe-Travel Guide for travel safety information for Canadian women.
Border areas
Landmines and unexploded munitions are still a danger near military installations and borders, including the Dead Sea area. Minefields are usually fenced and marked, but could be difficult to see. Do not touch suspicious or unfamiliar objects.
Exercise caution at the borders with Israel and Iraq, especially if using service taxis when crossing the borders. These borders may close on short notice.
Exercise a high degree of caution near and in refugee camps, as well as at border areas.
General safety information
Carry identification documents at all times. Leave your passport in a safe place and carry a photocopy for identification purposes.
Avoid travelling alone in remote areas.
Emergency services
Dial 911 for police, medical services and the fire department.
Entry/exit requirements
Entry/exit requirements
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Jordanian authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Jordan, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of expected departure from that country. Prior to travelling, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Canadians must obtain a visa to visit Jordan.
Tourist visa: Required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
You can obtain a visa upon arrival at any border crossing or airport or from any Jordanian diplomatic mission. Seek advice from Jordanian authorities for more information.
Register with the police for stays of more than two weeks.
Dual citizenship
Dual nationals must exit Jordan with the same passport presented on entry into the country. See Travelling as a dual citizen for more information.
Health entry requirements
You must undergo medical exams to obtain a residency permit, including mandatory testing for tuberculosis, HIV and hepatitis C.
Regional travel
If travelling from Jordan to Syria or Saudi Arabia, ensure that you obtain your visas prior to departure from Canada. These countries will normally not issue visas at the border crossings to individuals who do not have a Jordanian residency permit. Consult the nearest respective embassy or consulate of these countries for more information.
Travelling from Israel
Visas are issued only at international airports, the north border crossing (Bisan/Sheikh Hussein Bridge) and the south border crossing (Elat/Aqaba). Visas are not issued at the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge between Jordan and the West Bank.
Canadians have been denied entry into some countries because their passports bore a Jordanian border stamp issued by an office bordering Israel (such a stamp would indicate that the traveller entered from Israel).
Upon departure, your luggage may be searched for security reasons, as well as to prevent the illegal removal of Jordanian and Iraqi antiquities.
Yellow fever
See Health to obtain information on this country's vaccination requirements.
Children and travel
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. See Children for more information.

- Polio: Global Update - February 12, 2015 14:26 EST
Routine Vaccines
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Vaccines to Consider
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
There is a risk of polio in this country. Be sure that your vaccination against polio is up-to-date.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Yellow Fever Vaccination
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements. | |

Country Entry Requirement* |
Recommendation |
Food and Water-borne Diseases
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in Western Asia, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A, schistosomiasis and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Western Asia. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Travellers' diarrhea
- Travellers' diarrhea is the most common illness affecting travellers. It is spread from eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
- Risk of developing travellers' diarrhea increases when travelling in regions with poor standards of hygiene and sanitation. Practise safe food and water precautions.
- The most important treatment for travellers' diarrhea is rehydration (drinking lots of fluids). Carry oral rehydration salts when travelling.
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
Insects and Illness
In some areas in Western Asia, certain insects carry and spread diseases like chikungunya, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, malaria, Rift Valley fever, and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is no risk of malaria in this country.
Animals and Illness
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Certain infections found in some areas in Western Asia, like avian influenza and rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Person-to-Person Infections
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Medical services and facilities
Modern medical care is available in Amman, but could be inadequate elsewhere. Immediate cash payment is often required.
Keep in Mind...
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.

Modeling of High Temperature Crystal Growth Process
J-.M. Dedulle1,2, F. Mercier1, D. Chaussende1, and M. Pons31Laboratoire des Matériaux et du Génie Physique, Grenoble, France
2IRIS Technologies, Grenoble, France
3Science et Ingénierie des Matériaux et Procédés, Saint-Martin d'Hères, France
The main problem for the development of 3C-SiC electronics is the lack of an adapted bulk growth process.
Indeed, sublimation, which is the classical process for the growth of 4H-SiC and 6H-SiC ingots, is not adapted for the 3C polytype because of the solid state transition from cubic to hexagonal crystals, which occurs at high temperature. We therefore choose growth from liquid phase rather than vapor phase.
This paper gives a methodology to optimize coils and details about the modeling of induction heating with COMSOL Multiphysics. Some selected results will be pointed out as they should be considered for the future development of 3C-SiC material.
We have studied the crystals obtained in different configurations, and the role of the thermal gradient from 40oC/cm to less than 5oC/cm in the extent of the crystallization area.

Unfortunately for all the fans of mayham and destruction, the Demolition Derby that was scheduled for September 8th has been cancelled.
See you next year!
Successful conclusion to the Wade Larsen Demolition Derby (sponsored by Classic Embroidery)
Sunday September 26th saw the successful conclusion to CAR's race season. The weather was a bit of a mixed bag, ranging from brief intermittent showers to a beautiful sunny fall afternoon. Fortunately the weather did not deter groves of dedicated fans from taking in the last event of the 2010 race season. The day was action packed...
Due to scheduling conflicts with the Rocky Mtn House Demo Derby, the Classic Embroidery Demo Derby has been rescheduled to Sunday September 27th 2009. We apologize for any inconviences.
