My wife Nancy and I have stayed at Inn's all over the country, including Savannah. When I booked this trip, I wanted an Inn that was not only 5 star, there are many that make that claim, but also an Inn that had a personal touch. I visited Kathleen's website and it looked to be exactly what we were looking for. The Olde Savannah Inn did not disappoint. Kathleen has really captured the "Southern" charm. From the beautiful flowers and gardens outside to the exquisite decor of the interior, you immediately feel like you're home. Every day of our 4 day stay she made us feel special...exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure every review will rave of her excellent breakfasts because they are second to none! We stayed in one of the rooms on the lower level with no windows and never slept better. One morning my wife had to wake me up for 10:00 breakfast or I would have slept right through it! The best meal we had on our entire trip (Savannah, HH, and Charleston), Kathleen recommended and made the reservations for us at Elizabeth's. Don't miss the opportunity to dine there! Every afternoon we enjoyed a glass of wine on the rockers on the deck overlooking the rear garden. We spent $90 on the garden walk and had nicer flowers and gardens at the Inn. In summary; excellent decor, excellent food, excellent service, and you'll leave having a new friend. Thanks for everything Kathleen and see you next year.

My wife and I stayed at the Inn for our honeymoon in December. We absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. It was evident that Kathleen was very passionate about owning a bed and breakfast and tried her best to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Upon arrival we were welcomed with evening snacks. The next two days we were there, we looked forward to these evening snacks, as they were always delectable home-made treats. We stayed in the Provence room and were not disappointed. The room was quite cozy; the perfect size for the two of us. There was a fireplace beside the bed that was wonderful for the chilly, rainy nights that we experienced while in Savannah. The Inn is in the heart of the historic district. All of the amenities were top-notch. Our favorite things about the Inn were the amazing breakfasts and the loveable Mr. Cooper (Kathleen's loaf of a Beagle). We will definitely be staying here again the next time we are in Savannah

Kathleen told us upon arrival the inn had been on the market for 2 years. Much deferred maintenance needs to be done. Direct TV had no signal both nights. Found same bath towels used previous night hanging on bathroom door. Questioned our request for a roll of toilet tissue. Slippers provided appear to have been used by other guests. Single serving of dessert provided upon arrival for a couple? She is very unhappy in her situation, however this should not be imposed upon guests. Made a guest feel uncomfortable in the presence of others because she was not counted upon to appear for breakfast. Today, she told remaining guests they would have no room service because she had 2 doctor's appointments. Told us she might have to discontinue serving breakfast in the near future for economic reasons. Have stayed at other B&B's. Never had this experience. Unable to recommend Old Savannah Inn to anyone. Our 1st Anniversary was a major disappointment.
Risposta del proprietario
I greet my guests with a warm hug and settle them to their rooms. The property is for sale like most in Savannah. Due to economic situations, we have had to make cuts. Still serve a plentiful breakfast and a dessert daily. Wine and port are always available. I worked 2 hrs to fix their TV. Missed My doctor's appt. I hang towels as I am preserve our natural resources. I have gone green with all the other inns and hotels. I provide fresh towels to those guest who want them. This guest didn't request fresh towels. At room service, I provided a brand new roll, an hour later requested another roll, only an hour after service. Excessive use of toilet tissue for only 1 night (3 double rolls) Not good for plumbing. I serve more than 1 slice of bacon and a sausage. Read all the positive reviews. I had a guest who cancelled breakfast and changed her mind. I did the best I could on such short notice. I believe this guest wouldn't be happy no matter what I did. I apologize for the oversight with the slippers. I will never let that happen again. I hope this guest will be happy in another inn in Savannah. There are some people you will never make happy. I try my best with all my guests but sometimes it is challenging. I encourage you to read my 5-star reviews throught the intenet.

Absolutely the best stay imaginable. I could go on and on about our stay here but it's to early in the day to kick my feet up in front of the fireplace with my glass of wine just yet. Needless to say The Old Savannah Inn was that place where when your reading a really good book you just can not put it down! Savannah is truly breathtaking but without the right place to stay it just does not make for a wonderful picture perfect ending. My visit was truly that scene you only see in the movies. I never knew that would actually be possible. Kathleen runs this place all by her self and I do not know how she pulls it off! She has got to be the real life Wonder Woman but will not ever reveal this. Probably a good thing though because then her secret to life would no longer work. I will definitely be back God willing but next time I'm staying for a month! Ok a week but it sounded nice. Kudos to this women and her really cute friend Cooper x's 10!!! - Christina & Haley

"Home is where the heart is." There couldn't be more heart at The Olde Savannah Inn and I couldn't have felt more at home. Before I even reached the front gate, I was warmly greeted by Kathleen, her bright smile and down-to-earth energy – the perfect elixir for a long drive and stressful life back home. My load was immediately lightened as my bag was swept away and I was guided through a front courtyard filled with the sounds of cascading water. My room, the luxurious Provence room, overlooked this charming garden space. A tour of my retreat and the upstairs living space ended with a glass of wine, homemade peach cobbler and a delightful conversation with Kathleen. Breakfast was an experience I will always remember – exquisite, yet comfortable, with an intimate energy. Kathleen's undeniable passion for pampering her guests with food, ambiance, design and great conversation started each day in such a magical way. The room was filled with laughter, engaging conversation and a brightness that lasted the whole day. Never have I enjoyed such a wonderful meal at a B&B where the guests felt so at home and immediately connected. I left with new friends, a warm heart and rejuvenated spirit.

"Let me pamper you," were the words Kathleen said to my husband and I during our amazing stay at this lovely inn. And pamper us she did! From the wine offered on arrival, to the bottles of water to take on our walks through Savannah in the heat of July, to the tasty sweets left by our bedside in the evenings, even the plush bathrobes and cozy slippers... no detail has been overlooked by Kathleen. If you need anything, she is there for you, from recommendations to reservations. Also, the home is absolutely gorgeous and breakfast is a dream come true. Delicious! Kathleen does a wonderful job with making your stay memorable. We will return!

My wife and I walked up the staircase and were welcomed by an aged wooden door, the kind of age that places the Inn in its historic venue and values the nostalgic. Upon entering the Inn, surprisingly, we were greeted by an actual, "Welcome to Savannah...Hi, I'm Kathleen..." and a cordial conversation ensued. She took time to make us feel at home, asked questions about our travel, and offered complimentary glasses of wine before we went out to dinner. The breakfasts at the Inn were great! The mornings the Inn served blueberry pancakes & Eggs Benedict were some of the best breakfasts I've ever enjoyed. The Coffee is French press for breakfast. We also had the best conversations at the breakfast table with the Inn Keeper and other guests. The Inn is also occupied by Mr. Cooper, the resident beagle. This dog is very well behaved, does not smell and is very friendly. We hardly noticed he was even there actually. If you're not allergic to dogs, and not turned off by knowing a dog lives here, you could literally stay here and never have to deal with Mr. Cooper...he's that discrete. We stayed in the Bellevue, "the coldest room in the house" and appreciated the AC after spending much of our stay walking around Savannah. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets better than what we use at home. The rooms are decorated with antique furniture that is classical in taste and thematic for the rooms. The parking is tight, but this is to be expected in a historic city not built for modern vehicles, but we had no issue moving the car on the day we went to Tybee Island. Overall, this is an excellent Inn that contains a wonderful irony. We visited Savannah for the first time, greeted by a Bostonian Inn Keeper who showed us Southern Hospitality, in a city founded by British colonialists, whose Boston Tea party began a revolution. The enigmas run deep I suppose. Visit Kathleen for a taste of the olde South, southern hospitality and an Inn committed to detail.

Wonderful location - could walk to everything - restaurants, sites, river front. It was great to just park the car and enter the aura of the past. Kathleen was a great source of information on what to see given that we were there only one day - felt like we got the most out of our time in Savannah. Home is just so full of careful attention to detail and a very luxurious feel to all the rooms. Garden patios were relaxing and cooling with more than one fountain to enjoy. Kathleen had a glass of wine and ice cold water ready to greet me after a long day of sightseeing. Breakfast was lovely - coffee from coffee press, fresh fruit and homemade whipped cream on fresh blueberry pancakes. Kathleen made sure that everyone had plenty to eat. I especially appreciated that she had coffee ready for me when I woke up - very lovely touch from a special lady. Definitely would recommend and will stay with Kathleen again if we visit Savannah.

What a wonderful surprise! My husband planned the trip to Savannah to celebrate our anniversary, and I didn't know where we were going until our arrival at The Olde Savannah Inn! Kathleen was a most gracious hostess, and was full of helpful hints and ideas for things to do during our visit. We stayed in the Versailles Court, which was incredibly elegant. The whole Inn has a French feel and is filled with beautiful furniture and accessories. Kathleen doesn't miss any detail! That also apples to the food - she takes great pains to ensure that you'll never have the same breakfast twice during your stay. The company was as great as the food, and we really enjoyed visiting with Kathleen and the other guests. We highly recommend The Olde Savannah Inn and can't wait to return!!

Charming Intelligent Joyful Appreciative
I am 57 years old, have no idea why the system has put 60 and I can't change it. Natural. Authentic. Sharp. I am cultured and sophisticated but enjoy simple things of life. Loyal and dedicated. My partner needs to be rock solid. In synchrony with words and actions. A gentleman. There for me. Physically fit and healthy habits. Generous. Polite. Open and curious to learn new things and grow. Just as I am too. I will not answer any chat without a photo. I will not read any profile without a photo. I have seen hundreds of very bad photos. Please invest in talking a good photo. The male nature wants action and is over confident, therefore thinks a great photo is not needed. Wrong thought. Women are detailed oriented. They look at everything. Twice. So here are some hints as I work in the visual arts field. Close up, no sunglasses ( the eyes are the window to the soul), smile ( I want to be sure you take good care of your teeth and hope you have good humor). Lighting source should not be behind you otherwise you become just a shadow. Invest in a good photo.

Hey Y'all,
I have a question about WBB Routine #1. Are there any warm-up sets, or do I just go into the gym, stretch and start lifting?
Hey Y'all,
I have a question about WBB Routine #1. Are there any warm-up sets, or do I just go into the gym, stretch and start lifting?
you should always have some kinda warm up in ur workout, whether it involves stretching or warm up sets, never go cold ::thumbsup::
For some, Kryptonite doesn't exist......
Pledge allegiance to the Nation of Pump!!
November 2007 Stats
255 lbs
320 Bench
525 Squat
550 Dead lift
Status:Cutting, slowly but surely.
stretching is not a warm up, stretching on "cold" muscles is not good, it may increase injury. I suggest warm up first for 7 or so minutes, than stretch when your nice and warm.
Milk is the best Supplement
Well my friends think I'm ugly
I got a masculine face - Tom Waits.
yes always warmup... ill use an example of my bench warm up. isnt much
135x10 up fast down slow
225x5 then i jump into the 275/280/ 290 whatever i feel like doing and do it
Stretching cold is a bad idea, and light cardio doesn't quite do it for me all the time. I would suggest a dynamic warm up routine. If you have never done this before, you will be amazed at how much better you feel going into your workout. Every strength coach and successful athlete I have worked with has implemented at least some aspects of a routine like this into their warmup. Here is just an example of what it might look like to start.
power skips 2x50ft
walking lunges 2x50ft
burpees 2x10 reps
leg swings (side) 2x15
leg swings (front to back) 2x15
caterpillar walks 2x25ft
Not only will the muscles be ready to go, but your CNS will be firing too. Remember especially for heavy and technical lifts you need the brain to be warmed up too. I will probably be adding a warm - up section to my video webpage let me know if there is anything you would like to see.
"Friends come and go, but 200 pounds will always be 200 pounds." - Henry Rollins
So you just do your warm up sets, and then go right into the actualy work out?
I also might add to this, do a 6-8 minute cardio, like a slow jog or somthing. Then do streches.Originally Posted by RussianRocket
so, say for example i'm doing 2 sets of 8 on bb bench with 175lbs, would i put on say 95, and rep it 10 times somewhat fast, then jump rope for 5 minutes, then strech then start wbb1?
all i do for my warmup is stretch. that's pretty bad i need to do more. i'm still on somewhat light weights though. i need to get into the habit of proper warmup though.
TTT anyone?Originally Posted by BranndonC

The day before a teenage Ellie moved from Georgia to California, she and her best friend Nolan sat beneath the Spanish moss of an ancient oak tree where they wrote letters to each other and buried them in a rusty old metal box. The plan was to return eleven years later, dig the box up, and read the letters. But now, as that date approaches, much has changed. Ellie has abandoned the faith she grew up with, her days consumed with loving her little girl and trying to make ends meet. Sometimes she watches TV to catch a glimpse of her old friend Nolan, now an NBA star, whose faith is known by the entire nation. But few know that Nolan's own personal tragedies have fueled both his faith and athletic drive. Despite his success, Nolan is isolated and lonely, plagued by a void in his heart that has remained since that night beneath the old oak tree with Ellie. For both Ellie and Nolan, the coming date is more than just a childhood promise. It's the chance to make sense of it all—the chance to find out if it's ever too late to find love again.
Karen Kingsbury weaves a moving tale of heart-wrenching loss, the power of faith, and the wounds that only a forever kind of love can heal. She delves deeply into a theme that resonates within us all: Hope lives for those willing to take a chance.

"In The Chance, Kingsbury (The Bridge, 2012) delivers another excellent novel filled with heart, adventure, and second chances. . . . Kingsbury is one of the most dependable names in inspirational fiction, and The Chance may be her best yet. She infuses such real emotion into her characters, readers will find themselves in tears multiple times throughout the novel. A beautiful balance of human fragility and the power of God's grace makes this is a must-read."
"At age 15, Ellie finds her world turned upside down when her parents separate and her father moves them from Georgia to California. A devastated Ellie and her best friend, Nolan, write letters to each other and bury them beneath an oak tree. The two agree that in 11 years, no matter what surprises life brings, they will return and dig up the letters together. VERDICT Reminiscent of Nicholas Spark's The Notebook and Richard Paul Evan's The Walk, Kingsbury's (Coming Home) latest novel offers her characters forgiveness and love without an expiration date. Her many fans, and readers who like to escape their daily cares with a gentle Christian romance with elements of women's fiction, will enjoy the reappearances of Molly and Ryan, familiar characters from The Bridge, as well as a likable cast of fresh protagonists."
Kingsbury knows how to get down to business; readers start worrying from the opening sentence about 15-year-old Ellie Tucker and her family: "Her mom didn't come home for dinner, the third time that week." Family troubles prompt Ellie's abrupt move from Georgia to California, but before that happens she and her best friend Nolan write letters to one another that they bury and agree to unearth in 11 years. During that time, Ellie and Nolan naturally change, their paths diverging; he becomes an NBA star, she a single mother. Reckoning with loss and forgiveness for bad choices are required for healing. Kingsbury's themes are familiar, and her writing has benefited from a change of publisher. The action clips along, and readers root for the main characters. The fan-fic element of her writing remains— there's not only an NBA star but another celebrity affecting the action. But the author pours a fervent message about love and reconciliation into a novel that makes the lesson of hope go down much more easily than it would via sermon.

The Chance
Summer 2002
Her mom didn't come home for dinner—the third time that week.
That was the first hint Ellie Tucker had that maybe her father was right. Maybe her mother had done something so terrible this time that their family really would break in two. And no one and nothing would ever put them back together.
Ellie was fifteen that hot, humid Savannah summer, and as the Friday afternoon hours slipped away, as six o'clock became six thirty, she joined her dad in the kitchen and helped him make dinner. Tuna sandwiches with a new jar of mayonnaise, warm from the cupboard. They worked without talking, her mother's absence weighing heavy in the silence of the passing minutes. The refrigerator didn't have much, but her dad found a bag of baby carrots and put them in a bowl. When the food was on the table, he took his spot at the head, and Ellie sat next to him.
The place across from her, the spot where her mother usually sat, remained glaringly empty.
"Let's pray." Her father took her hand. He waited for several beats before starting. "Lord, thank You for our food and our blessings." He hesitated. "You know all things. Reveal the truth, please. In Jesus' name, amen."
The truth? Ellie could barely swallow the dry bites of her sandwich. The truth about what? Her mother? The reason she wasn't home when the doctor's office she worked at closed an hour ago? No words were said during the meal, though the quiet screamed across the dinner table. When they were finished, her dad looked at her. His eyes were sad. "Ellie, if you would do the dishes, please." He stood and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll be in my room."
She did what she was asked. Twenty minutes later, she was still finishing when she heard her mom slip through the front door. Ellie looked over her shoulder, and their eyes met. Lately, Ellie felt more like the mother, the way a mother might feel when her kids were teenagers. Her mom wore her work clothes, black pants and a white shirt. As if work had just now gotten done.
"Where's your father?" Her mother's eyes were red and swollen, her voice thick.
"In his room." Ellie blinked, not sure what else to say.
Her mom started walking in that direction; then she stopped and turned to Ellie again. "I'm sorry." Her shoulders dropped a little. "For missing dinner." She sounded like someone Ellie didn't know. "I'm sorry."
Before Ellie could ask where she'd been, her mom turned and walked down the hall. Ellie checked the clock on the microwave. Seven thirty. Nolan had another hour in the gym, another hour shooting baskets. Then Ellie would ride her bike to his house, the way she did most nights. Especially this summer.
Since her parents had started fighting.
She dried her hands, went to her room, and shut the door behind her. A little music and some time with her journal, then Nolan would be home. She turned on the radio. Backstreet Boys filled the air, and instantly, she dropped the sound a few notches. Her dad said he'd take away her radio if she listened to worldly music. Ellie figured worldly was a matter of opinion. Her opinion was the Backstreet Boys' music might be as close to heaven as she was going to get in the near future.
The boys were singing about being larger than life when the first shout seemed to rattle her bedroom window. Ellie killed the sound on the radio and jumped to her feet. As much tension as there had been between her parents lately, neither of them ever really shouted. Not like this. Her heart pounded loud enough to hear it. She hurried to her bedroom door, but before she reached it another round of shouts echoed through the house. This time she could understand what her father was saying, the awful names he was calling her mom.
Moving as quietly as she could, Ellie crept down the hall and across the living room closer to her parents' bedroom door. Another burst of yelling and she was near enough to hear something else. Her mother was weeping.
"You'll pack your things and leave." Her father had never sounded like this—like he was firing bullets with every word. He wasn't finished. "I will not have you pregnant with his child and . . . and living under my roof." His voice seemed to shake the walls. "I will not have it."
Ellie anchored herself against the hallway so she wouldn't drop to the floor. What was happening? Her mother was pregnant? With someone else's baby? She felt the blood leaving her face, and her world started to spin. Colors and sounds and reality blurred, and she wondered if she would pass out. Run, Ellie . . . run fast. She ordered herself to move, but her feet wouldn't follow the command.
Before she could figure out which way was up, her father opened the door and glared at her, his chest heaving. "What are you doing?"
The question stood between them. Ellie looked past him to her mom, sitting in the bedroom chair, her head in her hands. Get up, Ellie wanted to scream at her. Tell him it's a lie! Defend yourself, Mom! Do something. But her mother did nothing. She said nothing.
Ellie's eyes flew to her father again, and she tried to step away, tried to exit the scene as quickly as possible, but she tripped and fell back on her hands. Pain cut through her wrists, but she moved farther away from him. Like a crab escaping a net.
It took that long for her father's expression to soften. "Ellie. I'm sorry." He stepped toward her. "I didn't mean for . . . You weren't supposed to hear that."
And in that moment Ellie knew two things. First, the horrible words her dad had shouted through the house were true. And second, her life as she knew it was over. It lay splintered on the worn-out hallway carpet in a million pieces. She scrambled to her feet and turned away. "I . . . I have to go."
Her father was saying something about how this was more than a girl her age could understand and how she needed to get back to her room and pray. But all Ellie could hear was the way her heart slammed around in her chest. She needed air, needed to breathe. In a move that felt desperate, she found her way to her feet and ran for the front door. A minute later she was on her bicycle, pedaling as fast as she could through the summer night.
He would still be at the gym, but that was okay. Ellie loved watching Nolan play basketball. Loved it whether the place was packed with kids from Savannah High or it was just the two of them and the echo of the ball hitting the shiny wood floor. With every push of the bike pedal, Ellie tried to put the reality out of her mind. But the truth smothered her like a wet blanket. Her mother had come home late again—the way she'd been coming home late since early spring. And today . . . today she must have admitted what Ellie's dad had suspected all along.
Her mom had been having an affair. Not only that, but she was pregnant.
The truth churned in Ellie's stomach, suffocating her until finally she had no choice but to ditch her bike in the closest bush and give way to the stomachache consuming her. One disgusting wave after another emptied her insides until only the hurt remained. A hurt that she already knew would stay with her forever.
Exhausted and drained, Ellie sat on the curb, head in her hands, and let the tears come. Until then, shock had kept the sadness pushed to the corner of her heart. Now she cried until she could barely breathe. Her mom didn't love her father, which meant she didn't love either of them. She wanted more than Ellie and her dad. There was no other way to look at it. Shame added itself to the mix of emotions because Nolan's mom never would have done something like this.
Ellie lifted her face to the darkening sky. Nolan. She wiped her face and inhaled deeply. She needed to get to him before it got any later, needed to find him before he left the gym. Her bike was old and the chain was loose, but that didn't stop her from reaching the school in record time. The sound of the ball hitting the floor soothed her soul as she rode to the back door of the gym. She leaned her bike against the brick wall next to his.
Nolan kept the door propped open in case a breeze came up. Ellie slipped through the entrance and took a spot on the first row of the bleachers. He caught the ball and stared at her, his eyes dancing, a smile tugging at his lips. "You're early."
She nodded. She didn't trust her voice, not when all she wanted was to cry.
A shadow of concern fell over his tanned face. "Ellie? You okay?"
No one could take away the pain like he could, her best friend, Nolan Cook. But as much as she wanted his comfort and understanding, she didn't want him to know. Didn't want to tell him why she was upset, because then, well, for sure it would be true. There would be no denying the truth once she told Nolan.
He set down the ball and walked to her. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his tank top and shorts were damp. "You were crying." He stopped a foot from her. "What happened?"
"My parents." She felt her eyes well up, felt her words drown in an ocean of sadness.
"More fighting?"
"Yeah. Bad."
"Ahh, Ellie." His breathing was returning to normal. He wiped his forearm across his face. "I'm sorry."
"Keep playing." Even to her own ears, her voice sounded strained from all she wasn't saying. She nodded toward the basket. "You have another half hour."
He watched her for a long couple of seconds. "You sure?"
"We can talk later. I just . . ." A few rebel tears slid down her cheeks. "I needed to be here. With you."
Again he narrowed his eyes, worried. Eventually, he gave a slow nod, not quite sure. "We can leave whenever you want."
"When you're done. Please, Nolan."
A last look into her eyes, then he turned and jogged back to the ball. Once it was in his hands, he dribbled right and then left and took it to the hoop. In a move as fluid and graceful as anything Ellie had learned in her three years of dance, Nolan rose in the air and slammed the ball through the net. He landed lightly on both feet and caught the ball. Dribbled back out, juked a few imaginary opponents, and repeated the move. Ten straight dunks and he jogged to the drinking fountain and drank for half a minute. Next it was three-point shots.
Nolan played basketball with his heart and mind and soul. The ball was an extension of his hand, and every move, every step, was as natural for him as breathing. Watching him, Ellie felt her eyes dry, felt herself celebrating his gift of playing basketball, the way she celebrated it every time she had the privilege of seeing him play. Nolan's dream was as simple as it was impossible.
He wanted to play in the NBA. It was something he prayed about and worked toward every day. Every hour of every day. From the A's and B's he struggled to earn to the long hours he put in here each night. If Nolan didn't wind up playing professional basketball, it wouldn't be for lack of trying or believing.
When he'd sunk five shots from spots all along the arch of the three-point line, he ran to the water fountain once more and then tucked the ball under his arm and walked back to her. He used his shirt to wipe the sweat off his face. "Could it be more humid?"
"Yeah." She smiled a little and looked at the open back door. "Not much of a breeze."
"No." He nodded to her. "Come on. Let's go to my house. I'll shower, and then we can go to the park."
That was all Ellie wanted, a few hours alone with Nolan at Gordonston Park. The place where they had their favorite oak tree and enough soft grass to lie on their backs and count shooting stars on summer nights like this one. She still didn't say anything, not yet. They walked silently out the back door, and Nolan locked it. His dad was the Savannah High coach, and he had given his son a key a year ago. Too much trouble to open the gym every time Nolan wanted to shoot.
They rode their bikes to Pennsylvania Avenue and took the shortcut down Kinzie to Edgewood. Nolan's house was only half a mile from Ellie's, but they might as well have been in separate worlds for how different the neighborhoods were. His had fireflies and perfect front lawns that stretched on forever. Ellie's had chain-link fences and stray dogs, single-story houses the size of Nolan's garage.
The sort of house Ellie and her parents lived in.
She sat with Nolan's mother in the kitchen while he showered. Ellie's eyes were dry now, so she didn't have to explain herself. The conversation was light, with Nolan's mom talking about the new Bible study she'd joined and how much she was learning.
Ellie wanted to care, wanted to feel as connected to God as Nolan and his parents were. But if God loved her, why was her life falling apart? Maybe He only loved some people. Good folks, like the Cook family. A few minutes later, Nolan came down in fresh shorts and a T-shirt. He grabbed two chocolate chip cookies from a plate on the kitchen counter and kissed his mother's cheek.
Ellie blinked, and she realized, as she'd been doing a lot lately, that Nolan was growing up. They'd been friends since second grade, and they'd walked home together since the first day of middle school. But somewhere along the journey of time, they'd both done something they hadn't seen coming.
They'd gotten older. They weren't kids anymore.
Nolan was six-one already, tanned from his morning runs, his blond hair cut close to his head the way it was every summer. He'd been lifting weights, so maybe that was it. The way his shoulders and arms looked muscled in the pale green T-shirt as he grabbed the cookies.
Ellie felt her cheeks grow hot, and she looked away. It was weird seeing Nolan like this, more man than boy. His mother turned to her and smiled, warm and genuine. "Come by anytime, Ellie. The door's always open. You know that."
"Yes, ma'am. Thank you."
Ellie and Nolan didn't talk about where they were going. Their spot was the same every time. The patch of grass, alongside the biggest oak tree in the park—maybe the biggest in the city. The one dripping with Spanish moss, with gnarled old roots big enough to sit on. They walked side by side to the spot.
Ellie and Nolan had come here to talk about life since the summer before sixth grade. Back then they played hide-and-seek among the trees, with the enormous oak serving as home base. During the school year, when it was warm enough, they'd do their homework here. And on nights like this, they would do what came easiest for them.
They would simply crack open their hearts and share whatever came out.
"Okay. Tell me." Nolan took the spot closest to the massive tree trunk. He leaned back, studying her. "What happened?"
Ellie had been thinking about this moment since she walked through the door of the high school gym. She had to tell him, because she told him everything. But maybe she didn't have to tell him this very minute. Her throat felt dry, so her words took longer to form. "My mom . . . she came home late again."
He waited, and after a few seconds, he blinked. "That's it?"
"Yeah." She hated postponing the truth, but she couldn't tell him yet. "My dad was really mad."
He leaned back against the tree. "It'll blow over."
"Right." She moved to the spot beside him and pressed her back lightly against the tree trunk. Their shoulders touched, a reminder of everything good and real in her life.
"One day when we're old and married, we'll come back to this very spot and remember this summer."
"How do you know?"
He looked at her. "That we'll remember?"
"No." She grinned. "That I'll marry you."
"That's easy." He faced her and shrugged. "You'll never find anyone who loves you like I do."
It wasn't the first time he'd said it. He kept his tone light, so she couldn't accuse him of being too serious or trying to change things between them. She would laugh and shake her head, as if he'd suggested something crazy, like the two of them running off and joining the circus.
This time she didn't laugh. She only lifted her eyes to the distant trees and the fireflies dancing among them. Good thing she hadn't told him about her mother, about how she'd run off with another man and gotten pregnant. That would change everything. Nolan would feel sorry for her, and there would be no more teasing about marriage. Not when her parents had made such a mess of theirs.
Ellie exhaled, hating her new reality. Yes, the news could wait.
Right now she wanted nothing more than to sit here beside Nolan Cook under the big oak tree at the edge of the park on a summer night that was theirs alone and believe . . . believe for one more moment the thing Ellie wanted more than her next breath.
That they might stay this way forever.

Mayoral candidates must meet fiscal challenge
All the candidates running for mayor lack significant fiscal management experience. I expect that some will come forward to say they were on the city Budget and Finance Committee. Trust me, that does not equate to fiscal intelligence.
I hope the candidates will have the intestinal fortitude to tell San Diegans who will be counseling them on fiscal strategies. Name names. Given the mayoral candidates' lack of major fiscal experience, who are the people who will really be addressing the city's financial difficulties? The citizens of San Diego deserve to know who these people are going to be before they cast their vote. The future of our city depends upon it.
Corbin is chair of the Citizens' Equal Opportunity Commission, a political strategist, former chair of a Filner recall campaign and serves on several nonprofit boards with revenues exceeding $1.5 billion annually. He resides in San Diego with his life partner.

The North Wales region
Anglesey or Ynys Môn - is an island off the north west coast of Wales. Two bridges span the Menai Strait, connecting it to the mainland: the Menai Suspension Bridge designed by Thomas Telford in 1826 and the Britannia Bridge. Formerly part of Gwynedd, Anglesey, Holy Island and other smaller islands now make up the Isle of Anglesey County.
Almost three quarters of the inhabitants are Welsh speakers and Ynys Môn, the Welsh name for the island, is used for the UK Parliament and National Assembly constituencies. With an area of 714 square kilometres (276 square miles), Anglesey is the largest Welsh island, the fifth largest surrounding Great Britain and the largest in the Irish Sea.
Numerous megalithic monuments and menhirs are present on Anglesey, testifying to the presence of humans in prehistory. Plas Newydd is near one of 28 cromlechs that remain on uplands overlooking the sea. The Welsh Triads claim that Anglesey was once part of the mainland.
Historically, Anglesey has long been associated with druids. In AD 60 the Roman general Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, determined to break the power of the Celtic druids, attacked the island utilizing his amphibious Batavian contingent as a surprise vanguard assault[17] and then destroying the shrine and the sacred groves. News of Boudicca's revolt reached him just after his victory, causing him to withdraw his army before consolidating his conquest. The island was finally brought into the Roman Empire by Gnaeus Julius Agricola, the Roman Governor of Britain, in AD 78. During the Roman occupation, the area was notable for the mining of copper. The foundations of Caer Gybi, a fort at Holyhead, are Roman, and the present road from Holyhead to Llanfairpwllgwyngyll may originally have been a Roman road.
British Iron Age and Roman sites have been excavated, and coins and ornaments discovered, especially by the 19th century antiquarian, William Owen Stanley. Following the Roman departure from Britain in the early 5th century, pirates from Ireland colonised Anglesey and the nearby Ll?n Peninsula. In response to this, Cunedda ap Edern, a Gododdin warlord from Scotland, came to the area and began the process of driving the Irish out. This process was continued by his son Einion Yrth ap Cunedda and grandson Cadwallon Lawhir ap Einion, the last Irish invaders finally being defeated in battle in 470. As an island, Anglesey was in a good defensive position and, because of this, Aberffraw became the site of the court, or Llys, of the Kingdom of Gwynedd. Apart from a devastating Danish raid in 853 it was to remain the capital until the 13th century, when improvements to the English navy made the location indefensible.
After the Irish, the island was invaded by Vikings, some of these raids being noted in famous sagas, as well as Saxons, and Normans, before falling to Edward I of England in the 13th century.
Rhoscolyn is a beautiful village, with fine sandy beaches and beautiful countryside. With its sheltered bay (Borth Wen), it is a great spot for families as well as for sailors, kayakers and walkers. The views from its two headlands are sensational.
Rhoscolyn has a long and fascinating history, with its patron saint, Gwenfaen, first making her home and church here in 630 AD. Some say that the druids' last stand against the Romans, who invaded Mona (Anglesey) in 60 or 61 AD, was at Cymyran, the inland sea between Mona and Holy Island and the open sea, south of Four Mile Bridge..
Samuel Lewis's 1833 book, 'A Topographical Dictionary of Wales' gives the following account of Rhoscolyn as it was then:
Rhoscolyn, a parish in the hundred of Menai, county of Anglesey, North Wales, 5 miles SSE from Holyhead, containing 495 inhabitants. The name of this parish (the "Moor of the Column" ) is, by the author of the "Mona Antigua Restaurata", derived from one of those columns which the Romans erected, both as commemorative of their victories and to mark the extent of their conquests. The parish forms the southern half of Holy Island, being connected with that of Holyhead, which forms the other half, by a narrow isthmus, along which runs the old London road to that place and separated from the western coast of the main land of Anglesey only by a narrow, shallow, and sandy strait: its surface is chiefly cultivated, though much of it is rendered of poor quality by rocks and sands.
Near Bodior, an ancient mansion in this parish, is found in great abundance the beautiful variegated marble called verd antique, of which the specimens obtained here, in the diversity and brilliancy of the colours, surpass those of Italy; and in the same quarries are found veins of beautiful asbestos, of soft silky texture, and of very superior quality. The church, dedicated to St Gwenvaen (sic), is a small edifice, supposed originally to have been erected about the year 630. There are places of worship for Calvinistic and Wesleyan Methodists. Some small charitable donations and bequests have been made for apprenticing poor children, and for distribution among the poor. An average annual expenditure amounting to £205.17 is applied to the support of the poor.
According to Pevsner's Buildings of Wales – Gwynedd, by Richard Haslam, Julian Orbach & Adam Voelcker (published 2009), Rhoscolyn is:
A parish of scattered farms at the south end of Holy Island, formerly quarried for the "Mona Marble". The church stands on a rocky outcrop by Plas Rhoscolyn, an 18C house enlarged into a strange Victorian folly for E.H. Verney (of Rhianfa, Llandegfyn), with added wings of 1874 and 189 The lane winds down to Borthwen Bay. The lifeboat station here, closed in 1929, was the fourth since 1830.
The Calvinistic Methodist Chapel (1906) is in a railed yard. It has an entertaining facade in cement and pebble-dash with corner piers topped with flaming vases and a parapet, echoing the line of the arched triplet windows, with name panel and an urn. On the left, is Ty Capel, an early 19C farmhouse used as a chapel and later as schoolroom and stable, and on the right, the cottage where the cause began.

"Beautiful retreat."
What an amazing experience.
There wasn't a moment that was not full on joy on our trip. Wonderfully welcoming, Sophie & Mark make the very best hosts!
We loved having the opportunity to enjoy some lovely sunsets whilst eating dinner outside, and the the cottage is only paces from the picturesque beach.
We have all returned from life in paradise fully recharged, thanks to the wonderfully comfortable and cosy environment given to us.
Utterly spotless, beautifully and charmingly decorated it was a dream to spend time in.
We are looking forward to a return as soon as possible!
Thank you Sophie & Mark for having us!
Love, Fabia, Tom & Gosty.
We loved having you guys to stay and can't wait for you to return. You certainly brought the weather with you! So lovely when people appreciate the place as much as we do. It was a delight having you around x

"The perfect getaway"
The house is absolutely gorgeous with a cosy seaside feel with just one or two heart decorations around the place. Very clean and comfy with everything you could need.
Sophie and Mark were there with helpful, friendly advice n ideas on what to do and recommendations for good and drink.
The cottage is about 5 mins from the beach by car or a 25 min walk. Quiet beach with cove to shelter if the wind is strong. The White Eagle pub has views to die for over the bay .
Everything is within easy reach - Holyhead for big supermarkets - the Sunday car boot 15 mins away, karting for the kids and history all around.
A last-minute booking but so glad we booked. A really great long weekend. Thanks Sophie and Mark.
Duncan, Yan, Dan n Oly

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Chad Griffin.
Congratulations to Chad Griffin, a founder and president of the board of the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER), on being tapped to succeed Joe Solmonese as president of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC).
After a six-months search, the HRC announced on March 2, 2012 that Chad Griffin will become president of the nation's largest glbtq civil rights organization in June, when Solmonese, president since 2005, steps down.
In making the announcement of Griffin's selection, HRC Co-Chair Tim Downing and HRC Foundation Co-Chair Sandra Hartness spoke on behalf of their colleagues on the Board of Directors: "We're ecstatic to have someone of Chad's caliber as our next president. His superior credentials and achievements, both as a visionary and strategist, make him uniquely qualified to lead this organization forward. Chad has a proven track record of consistently delivering results during his career. That's something that our community rightly expects and deserves."
A Los Angeles-based political consultant, Griffin's central role in founding AFER in order to launch a lawsuit to challenge the constitutionality of Proposition 8 made him into a national leader in the struggle for equal rights. He has been a highly visible and effective spokesperson for the organization and for marriage equality generally.
Griffin, an Arkansas native, began his career at age 19, working in the Clinton White House as an assistant to press secretary Dee Dee Myers. As a political strategist in Los Angeles, he has waged pro-environmental and anti-tobacco campaigns, the latter with Hollywood director Rob Reiner, who is also a founder and major supporter of AFER.In 2008, he was a major fund-raiser for the Obama campaign, but has reached out to attempt to include Republicans in the fight for marriage equality. He is credited with hiring former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, a Republican, and David Boies, a Democrat, as lead co-counsel in the Proposition 8 lawsuit.
The two distinguished attorneys hailed Griffin's selection to lead HRC. "I cannot think of anyone better to take the helm of the Human Rights Campaign than my dear friend and colleague Chad Griffin," said Olson. "There is no one more passionate, more resourceful or more effective than Chad. His brilliant and visionary leadership makes me confident that one day, very soon, every American will be treated equally under the law. HRC is extraordinarily lucky to have him."
David Boies was equally laudatory: "Time after time over the past several years, Chad has proven that he is easily one of the most skilled strategists and tacticians in American politics today. That is a rare combination of skill sets for one person to have. His diplomacy, his intellect and his passion for issues of equality are second to none. I cannot think of a better person to lead HRC into the future."
Rob Reiner added to the praise of Griffin's appointment: "The federal constitutional challenge to Proposition 8, Perry v. Brown, would never have happened without the vision and tenacity of my dear friend Chad Griffin. His incomparable leadership has brought us one step closer toward completing America's last great civil rights struggle. My congratulations go out to Chad on this great honor and to the Human Rights Campaign for picking a brilliant leader as its next president."
Griffin's selection was similarly praised by glbtq leaders, including prominent bloggers.
Andrew Harmon at The Advocate observed, "In its pick of Griffin as president, HRC has chosen someone who was shaped from an early age by Washington political culture yet is not defined by it, having spent the vast majority of his career outside the Beltway. Griffin, 38, is a fervent supporter of President Obama with personal ties to White House officials, but has pushed the bipartisan case for marriage equality, notably hiring former George W. Bush solicitor general Theodore Olson to co-lead the Prop. 8 suit and aligning with conservatives including gay former Republican National Committee chair Ken Mehlman, who has raised money for the legal effort."
Griffin will take over HRC at a pivotal moment in the organization's history. Under Solmonese's leadership, it has grown both in resources and in influence, yet it has been criticized for its failure to challenge the Obama administration to move more decisively to secure equal rights.
During the first two years of the Obama administration, when the Justice Department was opposing gay rights in court and when the Democratic majority in Congress failed to move aggressively on gay-friendly legislation, critics accused HRC's leaders of having been co-opted by the Democratic Party and more interested in White House invitations than in holding the President and other politicians accountable for their failure to fulfill the promises they made in the 2008 election.
More pointedly, critics have complained that HRC has lost connection with the aspirations of grassroots activists. Especially after the passage of Proposition 8 in 2008, activists have expressed dissatisfaction with the tactics and lack of urgency shown by HRC.
Notably, despite Griffin's support of President Obama in 2008, he has been openly critical of the President's evolving position on marriage equality, calling Obama's support for states' rights on deciding who can marry "a step backwards."
Moreover, he has also demonstrated his ability to defy conventional thinking and take bold action. At a time when most glbtq legal groups cautioned against fighting for marriage equality in federal court, Griffin pressed ahead with his plan to challenge the constitutionality of Proposition 8 on grounds that could lead to a major victory in the Supreme Court of the United States.
In accepting the appointment, Griffin said "I'm honored by the board's confidence in my ability to lead HRC. While there's no doubt that we've made tremendous progress on the road to equality, we must not forget that millions of LGBT Americans still lack basic legal protections and suffer the consequences of discrimination every day. Today's generation of young people, and each generation hereafter, must grow up with the full and equal protection of our laws, and finally be free to participate in the American dream. As HRC president, I'll approach our work with a great sense of urgency because there are real-life consequences to inaction."
Griffin will remain on the board of AFER.
In the video below, Griffin reacts to the news that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the decision declaring Proposition 8 unconstitutional.

Re: Red Alert 3 Thread
I'm really enjoying this game! I first thought I wouldn't like it that much but I'm really pleasantly surprised.
The graphics are beautiful, the sounds and soundtrack are good and the game really has a funny and nice atmosphere. I only played a few skirmishes so far and after that I'll start a campaign.
Another positive thing for me is that I really like the three sides. In contrast to C&C 3, were I only liked NOD, disliked GDI and hated the Scrin. They are all designed very well and are all very fun and interesting to play.
Another part I like is the way they designed the water. (Playing on "High" settings) It looks really amazing and the game really invites you to build large naval fleets. The reflection on the water is great too.
I'm quite impressed so far. IMHO, a lot better than C&C 3, were I never could really get into.

Seattle Mariners Third Baseman Kyle Seager Receives Touching Letter From Young Astros Fan Hit By His Bat
Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 8/4/13
In the first series after the All-Star Break, the Seattle Mariners were in Houston taking on the Astros when Mariner's third baseman Kyle Seager lost control of his bat on a swing and ended up tossing it into the stands. Seager's bat landed on a young Astros fan named Lyle Raymond who was unharmed by the incident, but is foregoing his option to keep the bat as a souvenir, and is instead offering to return it to its owner for some pretty great reasons. Seager, who had been riding a 15-game hitting streak until that night, received a heartfelt letter from the young fan which his wife Julie shared on Twitter. Check out the letter below that reads: My name is Lyle Raymond, Your bat landed on me. I am OK. Thanks for giving me the thumbs up when you were on first base. I like the Astros but will cheer you on too. I gave back your bat because you had a big hitting streak with that bat. I hope you have more with that bat. Your fan, Lyle Kyle just got the sweetest letter in the mail from the little boy who got hit by his bat in Houston. http://t.co/iqzShRC8I8— Julie Seager (@JulieSeager15) August 02, 2013 Filed under: Anna Fogel, Headlines, MLB, NESN Nation

YIELD: Makes about 14 cups, serving 6 to 8
If using the canned chipotle chilies, in a blender purée them with the water and reserve the purée. If using dried chipotle chilies, stem and seed them wearing rubber gloves, in a small bowl let them soak in the boiling-hot water for 20 minutes, and in a blender purée the mixture, reserving the purée.
In a large heavy kettle cook the onions and 5 of the garlic cloves, minced, in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until the onions are softened, add the cumin, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the turkey and cook the mixture, stirring and breaking up the lumps, until the turkey is no longer pink. Add the reserved chipotle purée, the reserved tomatillo purée, the broth, the bay leaf, the orégano, and the salt and simmer the mixture, uncovered, adding more water if necessary to keep the turkey barely covered, for 1 hour. Stir in the bell pepper, the canned green chilies, and the cornmeal and simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in the white beans, the coriander, the remaining 2 garlic cloves, minced, and salt to taste, simmer the chili for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the beans are heated through, and discard the bay leaf. The chili may be frozen or made 3 days in advance, cooled, uncovered, and kept covered and chilled. Serve the chili with the sour cream.

Lolita (/ləˈliːtə/, /lɒlˈiːtə/, or US /loʊˈliːtə/)[1] is a female given name of Spanish origin. It is the diminutive form of Lola, a form of the given name Dolores.
|The examples and perspective in this section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2010)
According to the United States Social Security Administration, the popularity of the name Lolita peaked in the United States in 1963, when it was the 467th most popular female name. The name's popularity dropped since then; the SSA has not ranked Lolita in the top 1000 most popular female names since 1973.[2]
According to the 1990 United States Census, Lolita was ranked the 969th most frequent female name out of 4,275 unique names.[3]
The name remains popular in some other countries, e.g. Latvia where its name day is 30 May.[4]

Usage as a word[edit]
The name is sometimes used as a term to indicate a sexually precocious girl, due to its association with the title character of Vladimir Nabokov's 1955 novel Lolita[5] and its film adaptations in 1962 and 1997.[4] A UK retail chain was criticised in January 2008 for branding as "Lolita" a bed aimed at young girls.[4]

It's Now Possible To Play Netflix Natively On Linux Without Wine Plug-Ins
Going back for a few years it's been possible to play Netflix movies on Linux using some hacks like with running Microsoft Silverlight on a modified version of Wine. More recently, Pipelight has been working out well as a easy-to-use solution for getting Netflix movies to play on Linux web-browsers, albeit it's still not a native experience. Fortunately, times are quickly changing.
The Best Features Of Linux 3.16
The Linux 3.16 kernel could be released as soon as today with its development having calmed down but if you've refrained from reading up on this new kernel, here's the rundown on the new features and capabilities of this 2014 late-summer kernel debut.
14 Staging Drivers Get Nuked From Linux 3.17
Over 200,000 lines of code is being removed from the Linux 3.17 kernel in the staging subsystem due to the removal of a bunch of old, unmaintained drivers.
The Exciting Features Merged So Far For Linux 3.17
We're now around the half-way point of the Linux 3.17 merge window with at least another week expected before the 3.17-rc1 release depending upon Linus Torvalds' travel around LinuxCon and the Kernel Summit in Chicago. While we're only half-way through the merge window, there's already enough new functionality to warrant a summary article for those that haven't been keeping up with all the Linux 3.17 coverage.
Belkin's WRT54G Router Successor Is Crap On The Software Front So Far
Belkin revived the Linksys WRT54G in a new 802.11ac model earlier this year and one of its selling points has been the OpenWRT support as what made the WRT54G legendary. However, OpenWRT developers and fans are yet to be satisfied by this new router.
The Linux 3.16 Kernel Has Been Released
As anticipated, the Linux 3.16 kernel has been released this Sunday afternoon.
Valve Just Released A Big Linux Steam Client Update
Valve just pushed down a big Steam client update that has a number of Linux improvements along with other general improvements.

The Widely-Criticized New Commercial Linux Distro Is Now On Kickstarter
Back in July I wrote about a new Linux distribution based on Arch and Wayland that was aiming for commercial success and talked up being the "ultimate operating system" for users that could compete with the likes of Microsoft Windows. The distribution, Operating System U, was widely criticized by readers, but now the distribution is on Kickstarter to solicit funds.

Radeon Gallium3D Is Running Increasingly Well Against AMD's Catalyst Driver
After last week running new Nouveau vs. NVIDIA proprietary Linux graphics benchmarks, here's the results when putting AMD's hardware on the test bench and running both their latest open and closed-source drivers. Up today are the results of using the latest Radeon Gallium3D graphics code and Linux kernel against the latest beta of the binary-only Catalyst driver.
AMD A10-7800 & A6-7400K APUs Run Great On Linux
At the end of July AMD launched new Kaveri APU models: the A10-7800, A8-7600, and A6-7400K. AMD graciously sent over review samples on their A10-7800 and A6-7400K Kaveri APUs, which we've been benchmarking and have some of the initial Linux performance results to share today.
20-Way Radeon Comparison With Open-Source Graphics For Steam On Linux Gaming
When it comes to Linux gamers wanting a discrete graphics card backed by open-source drivers, the only solution right now to truly recommend for those serious about performance and making use of the hardware is really AMD Radeon graphics. While Nouveau has been making much progress, until re-clocking and other issues are worked out the performance can be unbearably slow depending upon the particular graphics processor or run into other problems. (Of course, when talking about proprietary graphics drivers on Linux, the story is entirely different, or if considering integrated Intel HD Graphics.) For those pursuing a AMD Radeon GPU for their own Steam Box/Machine build and hope to use the open-source Gallium3D drivers, here's some Steam on Linux gaming benchmarks from almost two dozen different GPUs.
Preview: OS X 10.10 Yosemite vs. Ubuntu Linux GPU Performance
At the request of many Phoronix readers, here's our first tests of Apple's OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" operating system as we see how the OpenGL performance compares between it and Ubuntu Linux with an updated kernel and Mesa.
AMD Kaveri: Catalyst vs. RadeonSI Gallium3D On Linux
With the recently released AMD A10-7800 Kaveri APU I carried out some new benchmarks comparing the open and closed-source Linux GPU driver performance for AMD with their Catalyst and RadeonSI Gallium3D solutions. When running the open-source Ubuntu driver tests, multiple versions of Mesa and the Linux kernel were used.
AMD Radeon R9 290: Gallium3D vs. Catalyst Drivers
After yesterday delivering the first open-source benchmarks of the Radeon R9 290, here's the open-source driver (RadeonSI Gallium3D) vs. closed-source driver (Catalyst) Linux OpenGL benchmarks for this high-end AMD Hawaii graphics card.
Trying The Configurable 45 Watt TDP With AMD's A10-7800 / A6-7400K
AMD Kaveri APUs feature a configurable TDP whereby users can opt to run their A-Series APUs with a lower power consumption and operating temperature but at the cost of slightly reduced performance.
Linux OpenCL Performance With The Newest AMD & NVIDIA Drivers
The latest Linux GPU benchmarks at Phoronix for your viewing pleasure are looking at the OpenCL compute performance with the latest AMD and NVIDIA binary blobs while also marking down the performance efficiency and overall system power consumption.
Look forward to a very interesting September with a ton of benchmarks currently being run and a lot of interesting plans going forward.
