Thin toasted strips of crispy green nori, mild and sweet. A healthy snack and versatile, fun condiment. Delicious eaten right out of the bag. At tasty addition to miso soup. Garnish grains, noodles, and salads. Very low sodium, fat free, and a good source of vitamin C.
Eden Toasted Nori Krinkles are made from the species of nori, Porphyra yezoensis. Once grown wild along the rocky shores of Japan, but for the past 300 years, to meet the ever growing demand for this delicious and nutritious nori, it has been cultivated. Its crispy yet soft texture, mild flavor and mouth watering aroma have made it one of the most popular varieties of nori in Japan today. It is considered to be premium quality and is often found in gourmet food shops.
Eden's nori is cultivated off the west shore of Ise (ee-say) Bay in Japan, an area surrounded by National forests and mountains, known as the 'Ocean by Mountains'. Pristine mountain rivers nourish the bay creating a mineral rich environment. This area leads all of Japan in ecology movements. Development is forbidden to ensure future generations the legacy of this famous edible seaweed resource.
Nori cultivation is an intricate craft in that spore quality, water temperature, a pristine growing environment and proper drying methods are crucial to producing the best quality product. Eden's nori is cultivated in the traditional manner, using a system of woven rope nets that are tied to bamboo poles and horizontally suspended in the bay. This intricate substratum is placed in the shallow bay in late September or early October. Over the autumn, winter and early spring months, with the coming in and out of the tide, and the cooling of the water temperature, the nori spores attach to the netting and slowly develop into nori fronds or leaves. In spring the fully developed fronds are harvested at low tide by scraping the nori from the netting and taking it ashore. The nori is washed with pure water, and spread on wood frame drying screens where it is dried by hot air into thick, cake-like layers. After drying for several hours the cakes of nori are broken into smaller pieces or flakes. The nori flakes are now ready for a final drying, using the unique processing equipment called a 'steam toaster'. The steam toaster is a relatively new system, that uses hot steam to evaporate the moisture in the nori. Regular oven toasting is not able to toast as evenly as this new process. The end result is perfect, evenly toasted flakes of nori, that are so light and crispy they almost melt in your mouth.
Eden Nori Krinkles are fat and cholesterol free, and a good source of vitamin C. According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Also, "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Nori Krinkles are very low in sodium (5 mg per serving). For those who use sea salt that contains low amounts of iodine, nori is an excellent source of iodine providing 70 percent of the daily value (DV).
Eden Toasted Nori Krinkles can be eaten right out of the package for a great tasting, healthy snack. Traditionally used to make quick miso soup in place of wakame, and adding directly to the bowl of soup when done without cooking. It can also be used to make sushi, as a condiment on top of cooked grains and traditional noodles with broth, and it also great on salads, vegetables and in stir fries. One popular Japanese dish called 'Ochazuke', is delicious with Nori Krinkles. Place a little cooked rice in a bowl with a small piece of Eden Umeboshi Plum or dash of Eden Wasabi (Japanese Horseradish) Powder, and add the Eden Nori Krinkles and pour hot, steeped, Eden Organic Sencha Tea over the ingredients. Garnish with chopped scallions and eat.

image from Field Guide to Candy
A few weeks back, I was invited to be a judge for TasteTV's Best Toffee in North America Competition. A whole boxful of toffees delivered to my door? Yes, please!
Those of you who are curious about the difference between toffee, English toffees, and buttercrunch, feel free to see my older post on buttercrunch. I became quite obsessed with untangling the various monikers of this candy while researching my candy book, if you couldn't tell.
These days, most buttercrunch is marketed simply as "toffee"; I only saw one brand out of thirteen that was labelled "English toffee" (Which may perhaps provide some comfort to poor Brits trying to find their version of the candy abroad). For that reason, I will refer to all the candy I sampled for the competition as toffee, to avoid confusion. I will maintain, though, my abiding love for the word "buttercrunch". If I ever make and sell my own version, I'll call it buttercrunch, and probably confuse the heck out of everyone.
So how does one determine the best toffee?

Matatabi (又旅, Matatabi), more commonly known as the Two-Tails (ニ尾, Nibi), is a tailed beast that was sealed within Yugito Nii of Kumogakure. It has been captured by Hidan and Kakuzu, then extracted and sealed by Akatsuki. It was later resealed into a reincarnated Yugito during the Fourth Shinobi World War.[4]
Matatabi first came into being in the waning days of the Sage of the Six Paths, who used his Creation of All Things ability to separate the Ten-Tails' chakra from its body and divide it into nine separate constructs in order to ensure that it would never resurface after his death.[5][6] Some time after being created, the Sage sat down with all the young tailed beasts and told them that they would always be together even when separated, and that one day they would become one entity again with different names as well as forms than they did then when the time came for them to understand what true power is.[7]
Like Shukaku, many people believed that Matatabi was once a human that turned into a living ghost (生霊, ikiryō).[1] Matatabi eventually fell into the possession of Kumogakure and was sealed within Yugito Nii when she was two years old. She was placed into a detestable training program in order to learn to control Matatabi's power.[8] In the anime, Yugito agreed to have Nekobaa collect Matatabi's paw print for the Paw Encyclopaedia.[9] In a cavern behind the Falls of Truth, where jinchūriki learn to control their tailed beasts' power, there are wall murals of Matatabi and Gyūki, which indicates how long they were associated with the Land of Lightning.[10][11]
Compared to most of the tailed beasts, Matatabi has shown to be respectful and polite towards others, speaking in a formal manner using 'watashi' (私) when referring to itself and using honourifics when addressing Naruto while introducing itself to the young man.
Matatabi is a bakeneko that is completely engulfed with wild blue flames. It also has a right yellow eye and a left green eye, similar to an odd-eyed cat without pupils. When forced to transform by Tobi, Matatabi increased in size compared to when Yugito unleashed it.[12] During the last remaining days of the Sage of the Six Paths' life, Matatabi was a young flaming kitten much smaller than its present-day self, but was still much larger than the Sage.[7]
See also: Yugito Nii's Jinchūriki Forms
Matatabi has flexible muscles, which grant it great speed despite its large size.[1] Its brute strength is enough to initially pummel Kakuzu, who had attempted to use brute force to stop its paw, forcing him to use his Earth Release: Earth Spear to survive the attacks.[13] It is able to breathe fireballs which are powerful enough to destroy a sewer and the building above.[14] As a tailed beast, Matatabi is able to create a Tailed Beast Ball.
Part II
Hidan and Kakuzu Arc
Soon after her introduction, Yugito was captured by two Akatsuki members, Hidan and Kakuzu, although it is unknown who was specifically assigned to capture her. Despite luring her two pursuers into a closed space, sealing the exits, and transforming herself into Matatabi, Yugito was overpowered and rendered unconscious by the two Akatsuki members. Zetsu later arrived to take her off their hands, and she later died as a result of having the tailed beast extracted from her.
Shinobi World War Arc
After Son Gokū is resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Tobi, who is intent on going all-out from this point on, forces Yugito to fully transform into Matatabi.[15] Preparing to attack the shinobi, Matatabi along with the other four beasts creates Tailed Beast Balls. These attacks, however, are deflected by Naruto and they are rebuffed by a now fully-transformed Naruto. Wasting no time in their attacks, Matatabi attempts to attack while Kurama is incapacitated by Saiken, but instead has Saiken slammed into it with such force that it is sent flying. With this, the opposing beasts prepare a collaborative Tailed Beast Ball which is met by one from Naruto and Kurama.
As Naruto enters a deeper level of Kurama's consciousness, he meets the remaining five tailed beasts and their jinchūriki. Summoning Naruto before it, it tells the young man that it intended to keep the promise it made to Son Gokū. As it tells Naruto to stretch out his hand, the giant cat introduces itself. Later, as the beast is freed from the chakra receiver, it affirms Kurama's belief that Naruto was the person the Sage of the Six Paths had spoken about so long ago before being resealed into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Video Games
Although Matatabi itself is not playable, Yugito takes on its form as her awakening in "Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3". Matatabi also appears as a boss in "Naruto Shippūden: Ninja Destiny 3" and "Naruto Shippūden: Kizuna Drive", though in the latter, only the false copy of Matatabi appears.
- 'Matatabi' (又旅) literally means 'travel again', which is probably an adaptation to not only the nekomata (猫又), but also the Japanese name for silver vine, a plant noted for having an effect on cats much like that of catnip.
- Cats are the common species throughout the world, and stories of bakeneko (化け猫, monster cats) are popular throughout Japan. In myth, when a cat reaches a certain age, it grows larger, and its tail becomes longer and forks in two, and is then called a nekomata (猫又, forked-cat). These cats were said to have the ability to manipulate the dead as if they were puppets, and had been associated with strange fires and occurrences. This may be related to Matatabi's nickname and its fire-breathing abilities.

Harang faces Samardzija in middle game at Safeco
Interleague Play nothing new for Mariners right-hander
Having spent most of his 12-year Major League career in the National League, Interleague Play is no big adjustment for Aaron Harang, now that the veteran right-hander is with the Mariners.
Harang will take the mound against a familiar foe on Saturday night at Safeco Field, in the second of a three-game series against the visiting Cubs. Jeff Samardzija will start for Chicago, which blew a late lead and dropped Friday's opener, 5-4, in 10 innings.
This is Harang's second Interleague outing of the season. He pitched at Pittsburgh on May 7 and also has faced the Astros, an NL team up until this year.
"It still feels weird, because you're facing a National League team, but you're not getting to hit," Harang said. "It always feels awkward when teams come into an AL park, and you're used to hitting against them."
Of course, it's really only the uniform that's familiar.
On one hand, Harang has made 26 career starts against the Cubs, tied for his second most against any club. On the other hand, most of the players he faced in those contests are long gone. Alfonso Soriano is the only current Cub to log more than 11 plate appearances against Harang.
"We'll have our pitchers' meeting, and they've still got a young team over there, too, so there's still guys that I haven't even seen over there," Harang said. "But if I see something or know something about a guy, I'll put my two cents in once we have our meeting and kind of give them an idea."
Harang's return to the AL has been wildly inconsistent. In his two shutouts, he has allowed six hits while striking out 18. But only three of his other 10 outings have been quality starts. Harang gave up three runs in five innings on Saturday against the A's.
Samardzija has slumped a bit in June, posting a 4.54 ERA in five outings. But he was solid on Sunday against the Astros, giving up three earned runs on nine hits over seven innings and striking out five. For only the second time in his career, he didn't issue a walk or serve up a home run.
"Every big outing, he's stepped up," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said afterward. "It's the other games we have to get him to have the same intensity all the time. Having him on the mound and his mentality every day, you love playing behind a guy like that."
Cubs: Soriano thrives as DH
• Soriano is the Cubs' designated hitter during their six-game Interleague trip to Seattle and Oakland, and that seems to suit him just fine. The veteran went 2-for-4 with a home run in the Cubs' loss on Friday, as Brian Bogusevic played left field, alongside Ryan Sweeney and Nate Schierholtz.
Strong performance as a DH is nothing new for Soriano, who has taken advantage of his limited opportunities there throughout his career. Entering Friday, he was hitting .365 with seven home runs, 20 RBIs and a .743 slugging percentage in 79 plate appearances. Last season he went 9-for-25 (.360) with four homers in that role.
• Catcher Dioner Navarro smacked his eighth home run of the season on Friday, pulling him within one of tying his career high, set in 2007 with the Rays.
Mariners: Waiting on the bats
• Seattle has the American League's lowest-scoring offense, and the situation hasn't improved of late. Manager Eric Wedge wants to strike a mental balance that allows them to compete hard without pressing.
"It's just a matter of what they do with it," Wedge said. "I've always been very confident in the players we have here, even if the numbers don't add up. And I think that'll show itself in time, but you've got to be able to play this game with a certain peace, but also a sense of urgency, too."
• Shortstop Brad Miller made his Major League debut on Friday, starting in the No. 9 spot in the lineup. The 23-year-old, who will be given a shot to supplant Brendan Ryan, went 0-for-3 with a walk, a strikeout and an RBI. Miller was hitting .356 with six home runs and 28 RBIs in 26 games at Triple-A Tacoma.
Worth noting
• Current Mariners haven't seen much of Samardzija, with four players combining for only 14 career plate appearances against him.
• Soriano is 11-for-43 (.256) with one home run and 10 strikeouts against Harang.

Childbirth education classes begin in Quincy
Birth Partners pregnancy mentors will begin childbirth education classes again in Chester, June 7, at 6 p.m. at the ABC Resource Center. Classes will continue June 9, 14, 16 and 21.
Birth Partners offers a 15-hour course in labor, delivery, breastfeeding and early infancy. Birthing is discussed from physiological (natural) and medically assisted perspectives, and topics cover a wide variety of evidence-based information about pre- and post-natal development, including the physical and emotional experience of labor, delivery and early infancy for mother and baby, the role of the labor partner, skills for having the most positive birth experience possible, and the path to successful breastfeeding.
Knowing how to navigate through the dozens of choices a parent will face during labor, delivery and the postpartum period can increase positive birth outcomes and reduce the amount of stress parents feel at this most important time in their lives. Birth Partners classes are taught by trained and experienced doulas and lactation educators, all infant and toddler specialists as well. Class instructors are also happy to offer referrals to other sources of maternity support as requested.
Why take a childbirth class? Evidence indicates that delivery was less distressing for those who attended childbirth education classes.
At age 6-9 weeks, infants born to parents who took classes that included early infant care displayed significantly better sleeping patterns than infants of parents who did not.
Classes facilitated positive birth outcomes, including reduction of Cesarean births.
The mother's confidence in her innate ability to give birth was enhanced.
Positive feelings toward the birth, caregivers and the infant were fostered.
There was a decrease in the use of drugs during labor--including costly and potentially risky epidurals.
Attendance at childbirth classes was associated with a 75 percent increase in the odds that a child would successfully breastfeed.
Classes are partially funded through Plumas Children's Council, Plumas Crisis and Intervention Center and Plumas Rural Services Women, Infants and Children Program.
There is a $60 fee for nutritious snacks and class materials. The fee is reduced according to a sliding scale; classes are free to WIC and other qualifying families. Pre-registration is requested.
For more information, contact Susie Wilson at 284-1406, firstname.lastname@example.com go to mamamentors.com.

Prevention Tools
Prevention steps can be taken at any time – before there is a concern that a child is being sexually abused to re-establishing safety to prevent further abuse. By becoming educated about child sex abuse, you are already becoming a proactive and protective adult.
Trust your gut. You may be the only one who can take action.
Studies show that in as many as nine out of 10 cases, kids don't tell anyone when they are being sexually abused. It's up to adults to recognize behaviors that make kids vulnerable to sexual abuse. If something makes you uncomfortable, speak up. Your voice is the first line of defense in keeping kids safe. Talk to family members and other adults about safeguarding children.
Warning Signs
A "warning sign" is really just another way of saying an "opportunity for prevention" – a chance for caring adults to recognize possible risk and to take action to protect children. And remember- the most effective prevention takes place before there's a child victim to heal or an offender to punish.
Tip Sheets
Everyone can take steps to prevent the sexual abuse of children. Our prevention tip sheets can help you take action to keep children and youth safe, whether it's making a family safety plan, finding a safe school or camp, or safety on the internet.

Btw. you can follow Michael on Twitter
I do not believe anything will change until I see free drivers.
IMHO there is no big pressure on them to OS their drivers, as phone vendors are fine with
CS drivers. Sad but true.
On another side, tom3q is working on the openfimg drivers, but this is only possible due to the fact that
Samsuck's source code leaked.
IMO, it's changing for the worse..
Looks like nVidia Optimus is becoming much more popular and is being shipped in the majority of low-mid range nVidia laptops now (see the Clevo / Sager lineups which are rebranded and resold across the mobile industry)... nVidia doesn't support it at all under Linux, with closed or open source drivers.. Forcing people who buy these laptops to not be able to use their nVidia graphics chip at all, and use only the Intel graphics chip embedded in the Intel CPU.
I was thinking I could turn to nVidia to get safe long-term support when I buy new mobile hardware, but then realized how worthless these laptops with nVidia Optimus are under Linux.
I guess I will stick with Intel+AMD graphics and AMD + AMD graphics on mobile hardware after all..

On new HP laptop of my friend. OpenGL wasn't even installed... While it shipped with drivers pre-installed!
Only after visiting vendors drivers page new drivers provided OpenGL. GPUs where Intel 3000 and AMD 68xx.
On mobile front, I think that there is notion that gpu drivers are company secrets. Thats bad. We would have prime OpenGL ES if they just got all together at working on it. Also OpenVG, and a few other things.
No I see no bright point in the future. (There is no one to give such hope, even Intel can not do much).

Hi my name is Brent Moss
I live for PRS guitars !!
Hi my name is Brent Moss
I live for PRS guitars !!
Yes, Buying an SE model PRS will be money well spent. As for learning on an acoustic first, Well if you want to play acoustic. I think of it like, if I want to learn to drive in the United States, I wouldn't studying driving in the UK, because it's different. If you want to play electric, Learn electric. Besides, Electric is easier on your hands.
Hi all,
Joining you from across the pond, my name is Richard and the new owner of a 2nd hand PRS Tremonti SE. Born and raised in the Netherlands, I started playing guitar when I was 19 using one of them written courses you can subscribe to (which takes a lot of perseverance and stamina), which I didn't have when I was 19...so I dropped it and left the guitar at 21, selling my Yamaha RGX112 and Peavey Bandit to a pawn shop...
My interest in guitar playing got triggered again when I was in my late thirties and got a cheapo noname western guitar for my b'day. Started taking lessons, bought some more guitars, and now ending up with (I believe, did a recent count) 16 guitars in total, two halfstacks, several pedals and other accessories.
I recently purchased a PRS Tremonti SE second-hand and am impressed with the quality! However I need some spare parts for the instrument and that's how I ended up here
Some personal notes on myself: I am 42 years old, work at an insurance company doing IT things, married, 3 kids ranging from the age of 9 to 16. If you want to know more, let me know.
Kind Regards,
Last edited by rich69; 03-13-2013 at 04:09 PM.
Welcome aboard Rich. Enjoy the start of your new addiction.
Welcome Richard your story is similar to mine except I'm a few years behind you. I'm new here to. Welcome.
Hello all! An old Birds and Moons member (although I was barely active there). I've briefly owned a couple PRS and SE's over the years. Took the tour of the PRS factory in probably 2004 or 2005, and have loved the guitars ever since! Just found a used McCarty Soapbar today at a local store and have it on layaway until I can get back and make it officially mine this Friday. Very excited! Wish I had some information on it, but all I have is the picture from Guitar Center's Used Guitars section.
Hey forum!
I've been checking out the forum for a while and decided to finally introduce myself.
I'm a Baltimore native who has lived all over the place until settling in the Wilmington, DE area with my family.
I didn't start playing guitar until the tail end of 2011. As a drummer, I had to trust online reviews and the local music store to choose my first instrument. Luckily, I ended up with a Tremonti SE and fell in love.
For Father's Day last year my wife got me a Signature Club membership and made arrangements for us to go to Experience 2012. I was hooked. The music was amazing, the people were great, and I ended up buying MD-made guitars for my wife and I.
Thanks for all the great discussion, and I look forward to being a part of this great online community.
Hello everyone joined the forum yesterday after getting my SE Angelus on Thursday, been playing guitar for a little over 25 years but have just sold all my electrics and amps as i'm now going down the acoustic route. Also a avid cyclist and when I'm not playing guitar i'm normally cycling between 50 and 100 miles up the side of some very big hills.
I've been a admirer of PRS guitars for a long time but given the other guitars I had I was kind of snobbish and only wanted the Maryland guitars, but now I have a SE I am very happy with it.

My name is Mike (Who da thunk?!). I was never a member of Birds And Moons so many of you where new to me when I joined this site a year ago. Not new to PRS though. I've been lusting after them since I first laid my hands on one at a guitar show sometime back in 2000/2001. Finally got my first one (SE Soapbar maple II) a few years back but stupidly sold it when I decided I wanted a guitar with humbuckers.
I came back to the PRS fold in late 2011 / early 2012 when I got the SE Bernie Marsden. The guitar blew me away and confirmed me as a solid fan of PRS guitars. Since then i've added an SE C24 to the stable and i'm sure there will be more PRS's down the line!
I've been playing guitar since I was 16 /17 so (Somewhat scarily) more than half my life. The early days where a little rocky but finally at the somewhat late age of 19 I started putting serious hours in on the instrument and things started to come together quickly. Been in a few bands since then and done a couple of music courses and studied music at Uni.
Fell out of love with music and guitar for a short while in the mid 2000's and sold a lot of my equipment. Thankfully, that didn't last too long and I got back into it but came back a slightly different - and very rusty player! More interested in writing and recording songs now than showboating. I'm a recording player for the most part these days. I've done a little teaching and I put lessons, covers, demos and original tunes on my Y'tube channel.
Hoping to get a band sorted later this year. recording at home is fun but a little limiting. You can't beat the fun of playing with other individuals!

Yep that's where I'm at in the Northwest so I can take advantage of the Peak District and Snowdonia (more often the peak district though)....7 miles of category 2 climbs just to get to the Cat and fiddle, 20 miles of category 4 climbs to get to the base at Macclesfield. (8mph on the way up 50mph on the way down) Mow Cop is another good climb. one of my typical rides that is mapped ny the GPS in a iPhone show the hill profile very nicely http://app.strava.com/activities/43247185
Thanks for the welcome....you'd be surprised how many guitarists also cycle...

Hi all, Jon here, I have just bought a rather lovely SE Custom 24 in Royal Blue and love it, its my first PRS and from what I have experienced it won't be my last...
I look forward to making some new friends here and learning more about PRS guitars and how to get the best out of them.
Thanks in advance
Hi to all! I'm Jay and I love P22 in Fire Red Burst color. I'm looking forward to P22 users here. Thank you!
Hi Everyone. My name is Mike. Got into playing live about 4 years ago. Not successful enough to afford any american made stuff yet but getting closer by the min! Started out on Epiphones but once i got my dirty lil hands on the SE line, that's all she wrote. The feel, better tone, flexibility i could go on for hours. Ne ways, Started a modern rock band a few years back called Fighting Gemini and have been rocking my SE's ever since. Thinking of doing some Pup swapping tho. Check us out and let me know what you think! www.FightingGemini.com
I'm loving this new introductions on a daily basis.
Welcome Jon, Jay and Mike.
Hey gang...my name is Jason. I'm a management consultant by day, and an amateur rocker by night. Currently playing locally in a three-piece acoustic cover band (two guitars and a percussionist), playing about 2 weekend gigs a month.
I've lusted after PRS guitars for nearly 20 years now (since I was about 16). Coming from pretty modest means, it was never a really an attainable goal for me for the longest time. When I graduated from college, my mom actually offered to buy a PRS as a graduation gift; she knew how badly I wanted one, but I knew she couldn't really afford it, so I told her that I appreciated it but we should settle on something more realistic. But in 2011, I fell completely in love with the Signature Limited Private Stock guitar (though it was still WAY outside my price range). The 2012 Siggy only reinforced my affinity, and when I found out that PRS had started making a 408MT as a production guitar, I think my heart skipped a beat. I finally found myself in a position, after so many years of waiting, to take the plunge. This past February, I placed an order with WMC for an Artist Package 408MT, and I'm expecting it in the coming 3-6 weeks. I'm beyond excited, a little terrified at spending so much on a single guitar, and absolutely dying over the suspense!
In doing a bit of lurking here over the past few weeks, it seems like many of you know each other quite well. Living in PRS country, I hope to someday be able to to peruse the facility. I've already told my girlfriend that I'd go over the Bay Bridge to visit vineyards with her if she agreed to swing by the factory with me. :-) I've recently started building my own guitars out of parts (I've got three or four concepts in my head), and last year I modded the crap out of a Schecter for the fun of it. I'm still learning, but I've fallen in love with the guitar all over again through the process of learning how it actually works. It's my goal to one day be able to afford a Private Stock guitar that I can pass down to my son as a family heirloom type thing, and I'm working hard toward that goal.
I'm really looking forward to joining the "family"!!!

This is how I folded laundry today:
I drew my attention the the pile of laundry on the couch. It's been there for several days, and it would fill several baskets. I sat on the floor at the base of the couch, leaning against it. I reached over my head behind me and grabbed for fabric, and I flung. I flung into one of five person-clothes piles, or into the sheets/towels/tablecloths pile, or into the hats/jackets/mittens/bags/(things for the front closet) pile, or into the too-small-giveaway pile. I flung like Angry Birds, but these were just monkey underpants.
On my right knee was a certain girl who wanted me to color with her. She held an open coloring book against my belly button. She colored in purple and my job was to color with my right hand in blue crayon. (I am not right handed.).
By my left knee was a certain girl who has decided she wants to fold all her own clothes. Her perfectionist tendencies can be adorable, or they can make a shirt-and-pants outfit-folding project take eight minutes.
By my feet is a boy who is trying to lead his sixth tooth through the gum wall. He's trying to use my big toe as a chewing post. I wiggle gently and pull my foot away. He crawls closer, and buries his (snotty drooly wet kinda gross) face in the short stack of shirts the big girl has folded. I pull the top shirt off and fling it to the dining room. We've started an ninth pile, the newest dirty.
The eldest wants to learn how to fold her crinoliney fancy skirts while the second child would like me to trade my blue crayon in for orange and the baby, he's still looking for something to chew, and he's liking the knot and the end of the drawstring of my pink squirrel flannel pajama pants. This is what laundry looks like.
If I could have my way, I'd live in a black-and-white kind of world. Right would be right and wrong would be wrong and play time would be play time and laundry time would mean I dump a load on the bed and get it put away before the next load is run. New Year's Eve would be New Year's Eve and we'd be at a party, and there'd be champagne and infectious laughter and high heels and a slinky dress and red lipstick, because New Year's Eve means an elegant party, and champagne goes so well with bright lipstick.
For the past few years, New Year's Eve has felt like we're doing it wrong. We're not very much little dress and big party people right now; we have little people who don't want to change out of their big dress-up dresses, and it's our job to get them to bed. Yesterday E asked if they could stay up until midnight and blow noisemakers and it was such a specific request. Somehow she knows about New Year's Eve, now, and the girls were intent on having noisemakers. So we had a lovely dinner and took our time in getting the baby to sleep and the girls were playing so nicely in the basement and at about 9:12pm we said, "girls? are you ready? It's about one minute until midnight!" We gathered around the basement coffee table and I filled four plastic birdie cups with sparkling apple juice and E said, tell me when it's time! We have to count to ten! and we thought she'd count down, but she didn't, she counted up: One! Two! and on. At about 9:14pm we yelled "Happy New Year!" and they blew their noisemakers and we all kissed each other and toasted each other and the girls, who receive carbonated beverages so rarely they forget what it feels like, clinked their plastic birdie cups and exclaimed elegantly, ooh! Fancy! Then we put our girls to bed, and having already toasted the nascent 2011, went to sleep ourselves a little before 11.
Sometimes the unglamorous part of parenting is the pull. The whisper. I should be elsewhere. I could be doing something else. I didn't hear it last night for New Year's Eve, but I often hear it when I'm trying to fold laundry and find myself instead coloring and teaching folding and playing teething toy and enjoying my children, as I generally do, but not getting through the laundry. If I was left alone, I could get the laundry done and because I never get it done, that challenge seems always so urgent.
But do I really want to get the laundry done if it means getting left alone?
I guess in the zeitgeist the thing to do this year is not to make resolutions, but to choose a theme word, and I'm going with Balance. If I wait until I can do the laundry, I'll never get it done. So instead of feeling always torn, when I'm playing I should be housekeeping and when I'm housekeeping I should spend more time playing, I'm going to try to embrace the mashups that always occur organically. Of course if I disappear to fold laundry they'll find me within minutes. So instead of shooing them away or thinking I have to do it all after they sleep, this year I'm going to try to live not in the black-and-white, but in the miniscus where the two touch. There are five person-piles of laundry and now there are four. I got one person's put away. I also colored four pages and tickled my baby and it's much harder this way, but I'm going to try to be deliberate about it.
And in case you were wondering, there is no tedium to laundry when you're being chewed on, colored on and cheered on with noise makers.

What is a Flodger?
The Flodger is Wolverine Tackle's cross between a flasher and a dodger. The idea behind the Flodger is to have an attractor that can run at higher speeds with your favorite salmon spoons. The Flodgers range of speed is from a slow weave at Lake Trout speeds, to a sharp darting action at faster salmon speeds.
Tuning Notes:
To maintain proper action, it's important to keep the center section flat.

Chicken Marsala
It seems that I have really been into chicken these last few weeks and when I made the pan seared chicken breasts in a mushroom, tarragon and mustard pan sauce the other day it reminded me of another chicken and mushroom dish that I had not made in a long time, chicken marsala. Chicken marsala is a quick and tasty dish where the chicken is sauteed in a pan and then the Marsala, an Italian fortified wine, is used along with mushrooms to make a pan sauce to go with the chicken. Pan sauces are so easy to make and always full of flavour and this one is no different coming together in no time at all!
I served the chicken marsala over pasta but it is also good over rice or mashed potatoes or even just by itself along with a salad or some vegetables.
Chicken Marsala
Chicken in a quick and tasty mushroom marsala sauce.
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 4 small chicken breasts, pounded thin and seasoned with salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium shallot, finely diced
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1/2 cup marsala
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (~1/2 lemon)
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side and set aside.
- Add the butter and mushrooms and saute until browned on both sides, about 7-8 minutes.
- Add the shallot and saute for 1 minute.
- Add the garlic and saute for half a minute.
- Add the marsala, deglaze the pan, add the chicken broth and lemon juice, bring to a boil and let simmer until reduced by half, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, mix in the butter and return the chicken to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Mix in the parsley and remove from heat.

Same here; I enjoyed their POTO FD (even with the overused music and all). Personally, I preferred their take and the music cuts; the music seemed to flow much better than D/W's.
I'm really quite sad that Canada only has 2 ice dance spots for Olympics/ Worlds ): They've got three lovely teams; W/P, V/M and C/P. Sigh.
I disagree. At this point in the season, I like W/P's performance better. I thought their program had more flow, polish and suits them better than D/W's does. D/W's scores are higher because they are technically superior, and will get a PCS bump, but I don't think their performance is there yet.
I thought the music cuts were better than D/W's as well.
Over all though, D/W will probably get a whole lot better, while I'm not sure if W/P will.
I was surprised to see how different the two programs are. My overall impression is that W/P's version is more romantic and more directed toward each other, while D/W's is more theatrical and more directed toward the audience (I think this is reflected in the costuming as well). I think W/P's might be the best thing they've ever done--at the very least, it's my FAVORITE thing they've ever done, but I'm not sure how much of a ringing endorsement that is since I do not enjoy watching them skate at all. I do agree with you that D/W will most likely just get better and better with this program as all the little kinks get worked out; W/P aren't going to fare so well against V/M or even C/P at Canadian Nationals, I don't think.
W/P's programs and costumes have far more audience appeal than C/P's. C/P always seem to pick dreary music, and this year, their costumes are nothing short of horrid. Paul's bizarre OD suit and Vanessa's FD feather skirt are just awful.
I totally agree with you about C/P's OD costumes this year--especially his hideous pants (the little jacket part of her dress is no great fashion statement either). I disagree, though, about Vanessa's FD skirt--I think it's kinda cool, and when they really settle into the program and skate it well, I think it will have its intended effect (not sure just what that effect IS, but I think they're definitely aiming for something--I'm sure it's not just some random choice).
As far as W/P having more audience appeal, do you mean in Canada, when both teams are competing together? Or do you mean internationally, where W/P seem to be more well received than C/P?
I really really like B/A's FD. I would have never thought of Ave Maria/Amen as a program for them but I think Linichuk has done a great job to highlight Tanith's improvement. I loved how the music built and those lifts were beautiful and something I never expected from them. I think this is a great vehicle for them and it will get much better as the season goes along.
My second fave FD of the night goes to F/S. I love the idea and interpretation of the music. I think this is so much better than their dance last year and it is just a great concept and I can't wait to see how it will look by the time the Olympics comes around.
K/N---this program just highlights why I can't get on their bandwagon. I love their lifts but their programs and choreography never do anything for me. Something is always incomplete or missing for me when I watch them. Meadowlands is a great piece of music and I loved when B/S had performed it a few years ago. But I didn't think they skated to the level of the music. I suspect if K/N don't move up after this Olympic cycle, the Russian Federation will have them move to another coach if their current coaches and choreographers don't improve their programs and choreography.
W/P's Phantom of the Opera is a different take from D/W but that is fine with me. I am glad they went a softer and more romantic take on it. I enjoy W/P and D/W's interpretations. I hope they get that second spot for the Olympics. It will be hard as I predict C/P will get it, but at this point in their careers, I prefer W/P's programs more. C/P are better technical skaters but I prefer W/P's programs and choreography.
C/Z are young and I hope they will have better programs in the future. I found the FD dull. As an American, I love and support all the US Dance teams in general, but with C/Z, I go up and down with them. Some programs I like and some I find are not very exciting or original. They will have to improve because their is strong competition in US with all the up-and-coming teams like the Hubbells and Shibutanis.
I think the fact that W/P used the instrumental version worked in their favour as it helps with the overall flow of the music. D/W's theater version seemed really choppy as some of the songs would get cut off at odd sections.
It's a pity that the team who won't be able to go to the Olympics will probably W/P. Personally, I've always preferred W/P's programs but C/P have almost always fared better in competition. I'm still hoping that W/P will be the ones sent to the Olympics though.
I've been watching today the Free Dances on youtube.
I was REALLY surprised. I used to like Kokhlova-Novitski in many reasons ( I prefer them to Dom/Shab of course). Even with that, I've NEVER seen such an uninspired, chaotic, "non-dancing", sometimes ridiculous program in this level!!
PLEASE (!!!) change it!
It looked like all the "choreography" just came into their mind in the previous night.
But they must had a nightmare than.
Belbin/Agosto had the most clever program. Nice, flowing, has the necessary musicality, calm and smooth. A masterpiece from Linichuk, who knew how to use all the possible benefit of this couple. Maybe first time I had a feeling, I quite like them....
This program is made for the case if the (again) weak Dom.Shab. has visible mistakes in the Oly.... Not in the list of the "greatest" programs, but "good enough" to win something big with some "tail-wind".
Faiella/Scali. A GREAT improvement!!! Smooth, meaningful, technically much improved, attractive, well-sold out. First time I really liked them. Very well-done!

Tanith & Ben: I like them this year, really promising OD and FD. But I keep thinking Agosto needs a cut hair
Jana & Sergei: they are my fav, but they make me sad Not good choreography in both programs, ugly and distracting costumes, bad music choice for OD. :( I hope they improve in the season... and I want their lugagge gets misplaced
Fede & Massi: I like the programs, but they need to improve a lot.
exactly my thoughts. It was just a stromg of tricks... no emotional connection between them or to the music. I can't believe that they place as high as they do.K/N---this program just highlights why I can't get on their bandwagon
my thoughts exactly. They look so much more polished and elegant. There was emotion, nice lifts and chemistry between them. So much better than 2006.Faiella/Scali. A GREAT improvement!!! Smooth, meaningful, technically much improved, attractive, well-sold out. First time I really liked them. Very well-done!
I never said anything about W/P being superior! (Not technically at least!) I just said I like their programme/ style better. Don't get me wrong; no where did I mention that D/W didn't deserve their marks. And personally I think one reason why it flowed better was partially because of the orchestral cuts and partially because it didn't have an abrupt change. Good for W/P anyway, love them!
ITA about Ben needing a haircut. Tanith looks GORGEOUS, as usual.
At least our eyes wouldn't hurt that badly if they did wear practice clothes. IMO, V/M's "practice clothes" suited their PF FD last year (To quote B.Eurosport: It's probably the cheapest in the competition but it worked perfectly). I kinda like K/N but if anyone is going to be arrested by the fashion police, it's them. Second would be either Wang/ Yu (Cats?!) or C/P for their OD outfits.
"Almost always fared better", meaning last year. C/P are just very young and improving at a faster pace, that is the only thing. And technically are stronger.
W/P were bypassed in 2008 by the younger team, but now their changes this summer (going to Camerlengo) shows an improvement which they needed. In ice dance you have to find a way to keep improving otherwise you are faling behind. Now that W/P are counterattacking, let's see if C/P will do the same, because their dances were not as well prepared at their first event, as they should have been.
All in all, both teams are young enough to have their potential maxed in the next Olympic cycle. Weaver / Poje are only 20/22, same age as Tessa and Scott, there is no reason not to see the top 3 ranked Canadian teams getting their best of their career in the next 4-5 years or so.
I am glad to see they have a good program and got good positive feedback by the judges, putting them ahead of the israelis and ukrainians in the FD, teams ranked higher than them.

Top 30 Rums Countdown # 15 – Dictador 12 Year Solera
Posted by Arctic Wolf on December 10, 2012
I was first introduced to the Dictador Rums when I convinced the local distributor to drop in on one of the monthly gatherings of my Rum Club. Two bottles of the new Dictador Rum (The 12-year-old and the 20-year-old) were brought to the club for us to taste and provide feedback. Later I also sampled the Dictador rums in Miami, at the Rum Festival. Both times I remember being taken in by the Dictador style and the rich vibrant rum inside the bottles. So far I have tasted and reviewed only three of the Dictador bottlings, the Perpetual XO, the 20 Year Old, and of course the Dictador 12 Year Old. It speaks to the quality of manufacture that all three have landed in my Top 30 Rum Countdown:
# 15 – Dictador 12 Year Solera
The Dictador 12 Year Old Rum is a solera aged rum with the oldest rum in the bottle being at least 12 years of age. It is bottled at 40 % alcohol by volume in a stylish black 700 ml bottle.

How a phony tweet and computer trades sank stocks
Thursday - 4/25/2013, 8:50pm EDT
AP Business Writers
NEW YORK (AP) -- For a few surreal minutes, a mere 12 words on Twitter caused the world's mightiest stock market to tremble.
No sooner did hackers send a false Associated Press tweet reporting explosions at the White House on Tuesday than investors started dumping stocks -- eventually unloading $134 billion worth.
Except most of the investors weren't human. They were computers, selling on autopilot beyond the control of humans, like a scene from a sci-fi horror film.
"Before you could blink, it was over," said Joe Saluzzi, co-founder of Themis Trading and an outspoken critic of high-speed computerized trading. "With people, you wouldn't have this type of reaction."
For decades, computers have been sorting through data and news to help investment funds decide whether to buy or sell. But that's old school. Now "algorithmic" trading programs sift through data, news, even tweets, and execute trades by themselves in fractions of a second, without slowpoke humans getting in the way. More than half of stock trading every day is done this way.
Markets quickly recovered after Tuesday's plunge. But the incident rattled traders and highlighted the danger of handing control to the machines. It also raised questions about whether regulators should be doing more to monitor the relationship between social media and the markets.
Irene Aldridge, a consultant to hedge funds on algorithmic programs, said many of the trading systems just count the number of positive and negative words, without any filter. She wants regulators to do more but believes that glitches and plunges may be inevitable.
"You can't ban Twitter," said Aldridge, author of "High-Frequency Trading," a guide to algorithmic trading.
Just how exactly the trading unfolded Tuesday is still a bit of a mystery.
Some experts say the computers took their cue from humans, picking up on a pause in buying as traders read the phony tweet. In Wall Street's insanely fast trading world, humans holding back for even a second could have signaled to computers that buyers were drying up and that prices could fall, and so the computers should sell fast.
Others, like Saluzzi, think computers may have sold on the tweet itself. That's possible because computer trading programs are increasingly written to read, and react to, news from social media outlets like Twitter.
Experts say the fake tweet seemed designed to catch a computer's attention.
Rich Brown, head of Elektron Analytics, a Thomson-Reuters unit that sells news feeds that computers can read, said that the words "explosions" or "Obama" alone wouldn't have triggered selling. But add "White House," and it's a combination even the slowest computer couldn't miss.
Brown said his service doesn't include Twitter in its feeds because there's too much useless "noise" in the deluge of tweets and, given the 140-character limit to tweets, often too little context.
Before the fake tweet appeared on Tuesday, it looked like any other good day on Wall Street. Unexpectedly strong earnings reports sent stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average up 1 percent to 14,697 with three hours to go in the trading day.
Then, at 1:08 p.m. EDT, a tweet appeared on the hacked AP Twitter account stating that two explosions at the White House had injured President Barack Obama. Stocks immediately started falling and tumbled for two minutes.
The Dow dropped from 14,697 to 14,554, losing 143 points, or 1 percent. In the frenzied selling, oil prices dropped, gold rose, the dollar rallied and the price of Treasury notes, seen by many investors as a hiding spot, shot higher, briefly knocking yields to their lowest level of the year.
The AP quickly announced that its account had been hijacked and the report was false. The Dow began to climb again, recovering all its losses by 1:18 p.m. That was 10 minutes after the fake tweet, according to FactSet, a financial data provider.
A group called the Syrian Electronic Army said it was responsible for the hack. But the claim has not been corroborated. The FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission said they had opened investigations into the incident.
Some Wall Street pros were surprised that a single tweet could move markets so much.
Julian Brigden, managing partner of Macro Intelligence 2 Partners, an investment consultancy, said the drop suggested an "unstable" trading environment dominated by investors too quick to buy or sell without any thought.
"To me, it's indicative of a very dangerous market," he said.
Though stocks eventually recovered for the day, investors have been on edge recently.

So, OSS is using copyrighted Creative Labs code in their open-source driver? I wonder where they got it from.
Seems likely that they somehow got their hands on the code of the binary beta driver that Creative released in September. I hope Creative doesn't ask for it back.
If Creative did hand over the code/specs to OSS, that's definitely a good thing, and a very useful way for companies to contribute to the open-source community, I will definitely support Creative for doing something like that.
I do wonder though, what issues may arise since it wasn't handed over by Creative as GPL.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Johnny Cask has entered the building! Weve retrofitted a 15 barrel tank to perfectly produce a very special cask conditioned ale (so, we have a little time to play around during winters at the Delaware coast). This beer, known as Dogfish Head 75 Minute IPA is a blend of 60 and 90 Minute IPAs with a special whole leaf cascade dry-hopping session. Post-hopping the beer gest transferred into firkins and dosed with fresh yeast and maple syrup from the ole family homestead (actually the first batch will be re-fermented with maple syrup from the farm up the road from ours since ours wont be ready until late March. Only the ratings for bottles and single-cask pours of this should be rated. The 50/50 blends of 60 and 90 where they come from different taps are not rateable, and do not belong here.

How do I test out this new 2.6.38 kernel ? I'm on 2.6.37 right now (source compile myself for my HTPC). I saw on a version 2.6.37-git9 on kernel.org. Is that the 2.6.38 branch? or is that the 22.214.171.124 branch ?
I don't quite understand what you're trying to say.
That's the point of benchmarking. When Crysis came out, nothing could run it, and it was used as a benchmark for this exact reason.
And since ATI dropped their Catalyst driver for cards before r600, Linux users can only use this open source driver. And for many of them, performance is important. They cry on the internet about how they want optimisations. That's what Michael is reporting on.
How do I test out this new 2.6.38 kernel ? I'm on 2.6.37 right now (source compile myself for my HTPC). I saw on a version 2.6.37-git9 on kernel.org. Is that the 2.6.38 branch? or is that the 188.8.131.52 branch ?
Ah, these results are much more in line with bridgman's comments about not understanding why the driver is not performing that great. Because hey, it turns out that it actually is performing very well for the older hardware. So for R300-R500 the objective of reaching a sizeable performance of fglrx is...basically done I'd say.
Just curiosity: why openarena results are that bad compared to fglrx?
You'll either need to fetch Linus's tree or wait until the merge window closes and RC1 is released and download that
If you opt for the git tree you'll find that it'll still compile as 2.6.37 until the make files are changed
It can be confusing and there have been many discussions about creating an RC0 as soon as a final version is tagged - these have always been rejected however
the card is starved waiting for the CPU. An even more extreme example is glxgears -- very simple scenes, any GPU can render them really fast, so the CPU performance of the driver becomes the bottleneck.
Basically, fglrx can push a lot more data to the card much faster. At realistic frame rates (around 50-60), it is not a very big factor, but if you're pushing 1080p at 300 fps, it is.
I don't think it will improve performance much, surely not more than 1.5x. I'd say that 1.2x or 1.3x speed-up is more likely to happen. The problem with multithreading is that each thread must keep its own copy of drive state for it to be thread-safe, and duplicating such state may hurt performance such that it may become worse than with no multithreading.
I think most of speed-up will still come from doing clever CPU optimizations and rearchitecturing the upper layers of Mesa rather than from "hacks" like multithreading.
Can't *all* the driver code run either on separate thread when gl* call permits it, or on the app main thread when it does not? Can't we do without copying state information, just setting locks here and there?
It's not so simple. Note that in an ideal world, you never want to hit those locks, so that the consumer thread can be completely asynchronous. And if it's not asynchronous, not only won't you get any speed-up, it may even slow things down because of the overhead of the additional work required for multithreading. So staying asynchronous is damn important.
Now if you have a closer look at the GL API, you'll realize that there are so many sync points like the glGet and glGen functions that will kill any kind of asynchronous processing. Also there are lots of places where data copies are needed for the consumer thread like glTexImage, glBufferData, gl*Pointer calls, and so on, which add additional overhead.
So basically doing multithreading at the GL function dispatching is a damn bad idea. Doing it deeper in the stack may turn out to be a lot better, but not all of the GL function overhead could be hidden then. It all comes down to how to design a working solution that's faster than what we have now, not slower. And making it *not slower* may turn out to be very hard.
Threading and locking hurts just as often as it helps unless the work load is particularly well suited to threading and the algorithm implementing it does is intelligently instead of doing the brute-force after-thought threading that drago's proposing.
The cases where multi-threading is most likely to help is when the driver is doing a lot of transformations on the data (such as converting an array of 64-bit doubles into 32-bit floats for hardware that doesn't support larger data sizes). If an application is working with a lot of these, then the threading can be a big win. If the application is mostly just submitting data that's getting copied to the GPU verbatim, then the threading has a much smaller effect. The command checking/verification maybe could use it, and if there's any blocking on the actual buffer submission then it could use it, but the overall gain will be low, and the potential for overall efficiency loss due to the locking is pretty high. The applications are submitted things sequentially and the driver is working sequentially because of it, so simply reducing the overhead is going to be worth a lot more than trying to spread the overhead around.
I'm still of the opinion that optimizations in the driver to work around application bugs or poor API usage should be avoided, especially given the limited manpower. Hell, even in the proprietary drivers, I kinda laugh a bit when I see release notes in Catalyst or the NVIDIA drivers that just work around some commercial game's well-known and unfixed bugs. I really do wonder how many of those tens of millions of lines of code AMD claims is in Catalyst is just a bunch of crap to optimize various poorly written games so that they get better performance scores in reviews. FOSS drivers that won't even ever be running those games don't need those workarounds, and FOSS drivers intended for a FOSS ecosystem of FOSS games should rely on documentation and education to improve client applications rather than hacks in the driver. If the driver is being a bottleneck because it's trying to fix application data before sending it to the GPU, file a bug with the application rather than trying to add a shitton of code to work around bad behavior.
We'd get a lot more performance from threading if Khronos would just ****ing give us a thread-able API that the client applications could use. This would necessitate thread-friendliness in the driver too, of course, but it's moot until the API exposes those capabilities. A good modern graphics engine (and physics engine and game logic/AI engine and so on) breaks its data set into independent islands/batches and distributes those across a number of pre-allocated/pre-created threads (say, one for each logical CPU). With OpenGL right now, the engine can do the object culling and sorting and other CPU-side transformations, but then when it comes time to building and populating the OpenGL buffer objects and to building the command lists for rendering it has to serialize all that back onto the main thread, and then let all that get bottlenecked there (and a big bottleneck it is, even if the driver magically has 0% overhead).
Very large side note: a lot of amateurs... and even a lot of professionals... try to thread game engines _totally_ wrong. I see way too many people try to make a graphics thread, a physics thread, an AI thread, etc. This gains you almost nothing, and doesn't scale up past quad-core CPUs. They think that they can let the graphics thread do work while the physics thread does work. Sure, that helps a tiny bit. Problem is, though, that the graphics thread can still only really render a single _useful_ frame before it ends up needing to wait on the physics thread to feed it updated object locations/transforms. And the physics thread can only do one iteration of the simulation before it has to wait on the game logic thread to process collision events and feed forces and other object control back into the physics engine. So you can parallelize the processing but you're still stuck moving only as fast as the slowest stage/thread. Plus you're stuck with the overhead of moving the simulation state changes between the stages, because the game logic thread is trying to update state that the physics thread is reading, and the need for consistency during an iteration means that you have to buffer up the state changes from game logic so physics can grab it at the beginning of the iteration, and likewise graphics can get an atomic update of all object transforms from physics at the beginning of its rendering loop.
The entire game engine is a pipeline. Making each stage run in its own thread is at best giving you the same kind of "performance" that a deeply-pipelined, single-dispatch, single-core, narrow-width CPU would give (which is not much at all). Instead, create a pool of threads, and then the main thread runs each stage of the pipeline sequentially. The stages internally break their work into batches and submit those as jobs to the thread pool. This scales out to hexa-core and dodeca-core (12-core) CPUs and beyond, doesn't let any of the threads waste time (and energy and heat and battery life) rendering duplicate frames or garbage physics iterations, is easier and safer to develop as there aren't multiple thread trying to work with the same data in RW contexts simultaneously, avoids the need to duplicate simulation data multiple times in each subsystem's thread just to avoid lock contention, and doesn't require inefficient/expensive inter-thread message queues between the subsystems. A lot of the pros do it wrong because that's what the original Xbox360 communal wisdom told developers to do (it's a tri-core system with very predictable performance characteristics, so the "wrong way" works reliably okay-ish on that hardware), and a lot of the amateurs do it wrong because they (along with most other CS professionals) still haven't gotten a grasp on how to develop with scalable multi-processing. Really, the "right way" looks a lot like how a GPU works: you split your workload into jobs (graphics primitives) and submit them to a thread pool (GPU SPU clusters) in logical groups (draw calls with shared identical state).
Likewise, a threaded GPU driver would be similar. You don't just push each call off to a thread or create threads for handling various parts of the driver. You batch up the API calls into jobs that can be handled as atomic units and farm those out to a thread pool that has an efficient barrier and synchronization infrastructure for ensuring that everything hits the GPU in the right order. That would probably require rewriting or at least rearchitecting a large amount of the Gallium code. Which is probably worth it... but only after all the other low-hanging fruit is taken care of (which it isn't... there's a banquet's worth of fruit a lone one-legged midget could pick off the Tree of FOSS Driver Optimization right now).
(Copied what I just wrote above into a draft article I may flesh out at some point as an overview of threading games. Seems nobody else has written much on the topic, on the Web at least.)

We all knew that creating a hit drama series is hard work with lots of prima donnas to contend with and placate. Anthony Kim (Kim Myung Min) is a producer who has the Midas touch in creating hit shows, but he has to deal with an idealistic new screenwriter who wants her dramas to carry an important message and an arrogant, top actor who refuses to compromise in any way. Can the three put their differences aside to create a hit drama series or will their own personal dramas overtake their project?
