AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
Bye Bye Nvidia!
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
Why would that be bye bye?
Erm something I am missing?
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
/laughs at AMD/ATI's ability to make a proper driver themselves, so they ask the general public to do it for them. :rofl
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
I'm not exactly sure who's the fool. But I'm certanly happy (and surprised) about this turn of AMD/ATI. I think we're gonna have a pretty fast development on the ATI driver in the next months.. and HEY!!.. it's gonna be OPEN SOURCE (nana2)
All we need now, is that nVIDIA will do something similar soon.
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
It would be better for NVIDIA and the users, if there cards would just work (out of the box).
I mean this is what we all want, a system were you don't have to think about the drivers. It just should work.
best wishes
Mr. A
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
i'm wondering how much faster/better these currently closed drivers will get once the community gets to improve them. if nvidia sees gain from this they might be encouraged to release, too (_if_ the technology's largely the same anyway)
i'm also sure nvidia users will get advantages from this, as the nouveau driver will probably be able to profit from the knowledge gained (even if the implementation isn't perfect. i'm kinda sure most of the internals work similarly)
open source drivers are really good but it's still better to have driver support for linux than none at all! so thanks nvidia for your long-existing, good linux drivers!
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
This is good news!
If I had a choice between two OpenGL 3D accelerated graphic cards for my Linux system one with OSS drivers and one with closed source I would go for the OSS one anyday - even if the hardware was 50% more expensive and only had 50% of the performance of the propriety one. - Maybe that's just me :) - but I always pick the OSS equivalent over propriety stuff.
Think of the impact this could have: Once a set of OSS drivers are written it'll mean that "out of the box" installations of just about any Linux distro will immediately support full 3D acceleration on ATI's cards.. :) - Which ultimately means that when a Linux newcomer asks advice on what hardware he should purchase for his Linux system - he'll almost always be advised to get an ATI card rather than an Nvidia one... (unless Nvidia follows this course as well).
It's also a good way to "score points" with OSS fans. (Note specifically "OSS" fans.. not necessarily all Linux fans - although they tend to be the same thing).
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
i could care less for 3d. all i want is a free driver with functional tvout. I just hope ATI wont forget tvout in their specs.
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
It is very well possible that you'll see no benefit at all from this. Remember that this will depend on developers doing this on their free time. Just wait and see.
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
At least those developers get job done properly. On third computer, I installed latest pre-release of Xorg 7.3 and tried again my radeon 9250, which was a catastrophe under linux (before). It works like a charm now!
Video playback, 3d accel, supend2ram or suspend2disk (didn't work with gf2mx64 with binary driver), even Unreal tournament keeps fps steady at 85. Yes, on gf2mx was also playable, but on messy scenes was a bit... choppy.
Also using linux all these years and watching development of free software, I can say that issues gets fixed fast. What was not working a week ago, it is mostly probable that it does in new release. This I cannot say for proprietary software, take a look at nvidia drivers. They are "ok", but black window bug is almost one year old (or more?). Suspend still doesn't work for me...
I'm sure that opening specs would increase drivers quality. And at the end, why it would all depend on free developers? As I'm aware companies like AMD, Intel... are contributing to drivers themselves too.
Re: AMD To Release GPU Specifications Without NDA!
The first 900+ pages of specifications have been delivered!
From: Phoronix:
Ending off the X Developer Summit this year, Matthew Tippett handed off ATI's GPU specifications to David Airlie on a CD (as reported by Daniel Stone). However, the specifications are also now available on the Internet! At http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/ is the location of the documentation where you can freely download the files. Right now there is the RV630 Register Reference Guide and M56 Register Reference Guide. The RV630 Reference Guide is 434 pages long while the M56 Guide is 460 pages. Expect more documentation (and 3D specifications) to arrive shortly. The new open-source R500/600 driver will be released early next week. More information to come soon.

The moonshine spy test
This is another place I would never have known to visit without Victor's helpful guidance – nor would I have known how to find it or how to gain admittance! It is a "theme" café/bar, something that seems to be popular here in Lviv. In this case the theme is that of the Ukrainian resistance to the Soviets, so potentially politically contentious – but a lot of fun for tourists.
The first step is to find the entrance. Look on the southern side of the main square for an arched passageway with a winged Venetian lion above. There are a lot of lions in Lviv, so it's important to look for the wings – see photo 5. The second step is to gain admittance. In keeping with the spirit of the theme, you will need a password. The man guarding the entrance will greet you with a Ukrainian patriots' motto, "Slava Ukrayini!" ("Glory to Ukraine!"), and you must answer "Heroyam slava!" ("Glory to the heroes!"). [I am indebted to Victor (again) for this wording and translation].
Even after this you have not yet passed the test. The doorman will test whether you are a Moscow spy, firstly by asking you (of course you say no) and then by offering you a shot of sweet local vodka. He will tell you that all these spies die after drinking this, so you must drink it to prove your innocence. You drink, you live ... you may at last enter the bar. The doorman pulls aside the heavy wooden bookcase (photo 2) to reveal a passage and steps down into the cellars, to the several successive rooms. The first is non-smoking so we stayed there, but it's worth having a quick look at the others, in particular for the small collection of guns with which you may pose for photos (photo 4).
The menu is presented as an old partisans' leaflet (photo 3). There seemed to be lots of choice but we were only here to drink. I had an excellent espresso; others had tea (served in tin cups) or beer. You can buy souvenirs of your visit – shot glasses, t-shirts and other mementoes. The walls are covered with patriotic posters, photographs of old soldiers etc. It's a fascinating place and well worth a visit, both for the drama of the experience and the interesting setting.
Address: Ploscha Rynok 14
Directions: On the southern side of the square but unmarked – look for arch with Venetian winged lion above (photo 5)

Red hot chocolate
I loved this place, and would never have known to visit it were it not for Victor (hunterV) who had done his homework and knew that it claimed to offer something no other café did, namely red hot chocolate! I took this to mean chocolate with chilli ("red hot") but no, this is hot chocolate that is coloured red, as you can see in the photo! It gets its colour from the red berries that are not only blended in it but also pureed and floated on top, and it is absolutely delicious :-)
But to be honest I would have loved it here anyway. It is small (OK tiny – we were lucky to get a table) and a little dark, and full of intriguing curios. One wall is taken up with a sort of 3D mural of a Krakow street scene of the past (photo 3). Most of the clientele seemed young – maybe students? The atmosphere was so cosy on this rainy afternoon and we lingered over our drinks for a while. Before we left Sue and I wrote comments in the Visitors' Book which Victor helpfully translated so that the owners would be able to read our compliments!
On the way out I spotted the traditional coffee roaster which was giving off a wonderful aroma, and I would have really liked to have found the time to come back here later in our visit to see if the coffee was as good as the chocolate – I have a feeling it just might be!

In the High Castle Cafe
After our visit to the Folk Architecture Museum (see Things to do tips) we were hungry and also a little damp. There is nowhere at the museum to eat so we took taxis to the High Castle Hill, where a small bar and restaurant was suggested by the taxi driver. I was really surprised to see the style of this place – not the simple café I had expected but something like a miniature stately home, with ornate fireplace, gilded mouldings everywhere, chairs draped in cream upholstery, and even a couple of private dining rooms.
The prices here reflected the décor and were a little high compared with other places we ate in the city, although low by western standards. My tasty wild mushroom soup and bottled water cost approx 35 UAH (I don't know the exact prices as we split the bill between us), but as that's only 3.5€ or about £3 it's very reasonable really.

A group of us chose this place on spec for lunch on our first day in Lviv and it proved to be a pretty good choice. There was plenty of space at the outside (but covered) tables, and an English menu was available. And when I say "an English menu" I do mean just one, so there was a bit of a delay as we passed it around between us. But once we had ordered we could settle back and enjoy the company. The restaurant was busy as there was a special children's art event taking place so we knew we would have to wait a little while, but when the food did come it was very good and served with a smile.
Favorite Dish: Like most of the group I only wanted a light lunch so I chose a soup, Rassolnik. This is a local favourite and was described as "sour" on the menu, which seems a fair description. It had pieces of pickled cucumber giving it that sourness, as well as potato chunks and a couple of bits of ham/bacon which were a bit fatty to eat but clearly gave the soup much of its flavour. What gave it its bright yellow colour I am less sure, but it was a welcoming sight on a not very warm day and I really enjoyed it. The soup cost just 25 UAH and a small beer a further 8 UAH, so the total bill was about 3.3€ or a little over £2 – a bargain compared with what I am used to paying in the UK but fairly average for Lviv.

In U Pani Stephy
On both of our evenings in Lviv we ate as a group at this family-run restaurant towards the southern end of the central boulevard. It had a lot going for it – appealing traditional "country-style" décor, a friendly owner willing to cater to our group, convenient location only a few minutes from the George Hotel, live music on our second evening, and tasty food at very reasonable prices. The downside was that they were clearly unaccustomed to catering to a large group (about 40 of us). We had to choose from a very restricted version of the menu and even within that could only have a certain number of each item – so if 15 people had already ordered your chosen dish you had to choose again! On our second visit I was unable to have my preferred pierogies and settled instead on meat pancakes, but even then had to wait over an hour before these were served. Hansi was in the same position, and the two of us sat watching longingly as others around us enjoyed their meal. We had a suspicion that they had run out of ingredients and had to go shopping! But I have to say that when the pancakes did finally arrive they were absolutely delicious – and I don't think it was just my hunger making me appreciate them so much. Also delicious was the home-made cheesecake that the owner, the eponymous Stephy, made especially for us that evening.
Prices here were incredibly reasonable by western standards, and good value even by local ones. I paid 50 UAH on each evening (about 5€). The first day that covered a tasty borscht, turkey in a sauce of cheese with apples, chips, pickles, a small beer and a tip. On the second I had the aforementioned pancakes and cheesecake and two beers.
On the whole, despite some of the chaos our group caused them, I like U Pani Stephy a lot, and would almost certainly come here again if I were to return to Lviv – but maybe in a smaller group!

More HTC Leo images emerge
More images of the leaked HTC "Leo", which appears to be a forthcoming Windows Mobile 6.5 phone offering a 4.3-inch touchscreen, have been published online.
The bendy-thumbed folk over at Techblog have managed to get hold of one of the new handsets, and a browse through the phone's menu appears to name the device as the "HD2", suggesting Leo is perhaps unsurprisingly, just a production code-name.
With still no official news from HTC, it's all just speculation at this stage, although this latest set of shots appear to be pretty convincing evidence that it's coming soon.

With the launch of App-V 4.6 happening today, I was able to catch up with Karri Alexion-Tiernan, Director of Product Management for App-V for a quick Q&A.
Stephen: What problems can Microsoft application virtualization (App-V) solve for my business? Karri: App-V reduces the IT costs of packaging, deploying, testing, updating, and servicing installed software. It can isolate applications from the operating system to prevent application conflicts (for example allowing you to be able to run to different versions of the same software on the same machine without overwriting key settings and preferences. It can stream applications on demand over the Internet or via the corporate network to desktops, terminal servers, and laptops.
In addition, App-V automates and simplifies the application management lifecycle by significantly reducing regression and application interoperability testing. It reduces the end-user impacts. No reboots required; no waiting for applications to install, and no need to uninstall when retiring applications and finally it enables controlled application use when users are completely disconnected.
As you move to Window 7 you can create a simple base image that contains only the OS in a pristine state and deliver only the applications needed by the user on demand. Take a look at App-V MVP Daniel Nerenberg's blog for real world implementation. We've done the heavy lifting for IT Pros and have seamlessly integrated App-V and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) already.
Stephen: Why should I consider App-V now? Karri: App-V will help save money immediately by freeing up administration time from IT and enhance end-user productivity. It is an out-of-the-box platform to enable you to migrate your applications and deploy Windows 7 faster and easier. We offer much tighter integration with more products (Office 2010, SCCM, 3rd Party Distribution Systems) and we support both Windows 32/64-bit applications and x86/x64 platforms on desktops as well as Terminal Servers. App-V client deployment is easy and plugs into your existing deployment workflows.
Karri: IT organizations will be able to reduce IT costs associated with deployment, testing, application updates. App-V reduces the time spent on application and regression testing because conflicts no longer occur. Once tested, App-V delivers virtual applications faster by using streaming and eliminating application installation.
App-V delivers the virtual application on demand to the user when they need it, not when IT schedules or pushes it overnight. That paired with the ability to consolidate Terminal Services infrastructure and use servers more efficiently as well as being able to reuse existing SCCM infrastructure to deliver and manage physical and virtual applications really helps companies continue to realize ROI on their existing infrastructure investments and expedite deployment.
Karri: Users would enjoy productivity benefits as applications follow them and not a specific device. Some key benefits include:
You can see the step by step videos of the product features here.
Karri: Most of the applications (32 or 64 bit) can be virtualized using App-V. Virtualizing an application is a simple three step process that does not require source code changes to your applications.
The key to application virtualization is sequencing: a step-by-step process going through the installation and post-configuration procedures for the application. Documenting the sequencing process step-by-step is referred to as a "recipe" - a standardized template that you can hand someone else in your organization and have them recreate the same package.
For information about using the App-V Sequencer with down-level versions of App-V check out the App-V Blog and the App-V Sequencing Guide. A video demonstrating the sequencing process can be found here. Microsoft has published a recipe to virtualize Office 2010 and can be downloaded from http://officeitpro.com.
Karri: Microsoft Application Virtualization combines with five other tools to make the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack for Software Assurance, which delivers dynamic desktop solutions. App-V is also available via Microsoft Application Virtualization for Terminal Services, MSDN, and TechNet.
Karri: App-V's native streaming, no installation and isolation capabilities deliver Office 2010 faster than a traditional install and with less user productivity impact. Our customers will now be able to run multiple versions side by side and ease the learning curve associated with advancements like the ribbon user interface while providing IT Pros more time to migrate LOB applications dependent on older Office versions.
Cross product collaboration with the Office team allows us to deliver seamless integration and new advancements in virtual Office 2010 and the Office family of products not previously available, examples include:
If there was any doubt about virtualizing Office with App-V in the past, you can feel confident that virtualized Office 2010 will deliver a seamless experience for your users.
"App-V 4.6 provides Office customers with a robust set of features to tackle core challenges including application upgrade, application coexistence, and user readiness. It's an exciting, powerful new way for IT to deliver Office 2010 quickly without impacting user productivity." --Takeshi Numoto, CVP Microsoft Office
Take a look at App-V MVP Ment Van Der Plas' blog where he shows how to virtualize Office 2010 Beta with App-V 4.6.
Karri: Over 80 customers have tried and deployed App-V 4.6 with great success and business benefits. You can learn about some of them here. A few examples are below.
"By cutting the time that consultants spend on application packaging and deployment, we're freeing them to focus on providing quality service to their customers." - Doug Miller, Practice Architect, CDW
"We want our clinicians to be doing what they're supposed to do: caring for patients. With App-V, we're reducing time required for computer work so that clinicians can focus on the business of healthcare." - Keith Lee, End User Support Manager Care New England, United States
Karri: The App-V Tech Center contains videos, whitepapers; test-drive labs, community resources at document library. We also have the following specialized resources:
Real World Expert Blogs:
I have a scenario where we are pushing application packages to users using SCCM at user group level. When a user needs an app, we add him to respective group and he gets the application in the app store. We are implementing App-V for VDI clients, however we have few users who will logon to both VDI and physical machine. So when user logs onto VDI he will get all the applications from SCCM which we want to block. He shall get only apps from App-v not the real MSI packages from SCCM even though he belongs to application groups.
Appreciate your help

RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—Last week, the Senate voted to move forward with the Food Safety and Modernization Act and finally protect our nation's food supply. There were definitely good things about the bill, which has been languishing in the halls of Congress for more than a year. "The Tester Amendment was agreed to by the bill's sponsors, and we signed off on the final language, which should ensure it's passage," says Ferd Heofner, policy director at the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition, referring to the amendment designed to protect small, organic farmers. "We're very pleased, and we feel the modifications made to the amendment are changes we can live with." The final version of the amendment exempts farmers who make less than $500,000 per year and sell their products within 275 miles of their farms (not the 400 miles that the amendment had previously proposed) from burdensome and costly paperwork requirements.
But there was also bad news. Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) lost her battle to ban the toxic chemical bisphenol A from food containers, baby bottles, and sippy cups, after the American Chemistry Council and the Grocery Manufacturer's Association made it clear they would work to defeat the entire bill if her amendment were included.
While many large manufacturers of baby bottles, and the retailers who sell them, have already instituted voluntary bans on the chemical, this news doesn't bode well for adults. BPA is used in the linings of nearly all canned foods, and a recent study in Environmental Science & Technology found BPA in 60 percent of the food tested, including turkey!
While it's unclear where the BPA in turkey came from in that study, you can take steps to keep your Thanksgiving BPA-free by eliminating cans from your meal plan. Here are a few recipes that will help:
• BPA-free pumpkin pie. Many holiday pie recipes call for canned pumpkin puree and condensed (or evaporated) milk. But as Maria Rodale's pumpkin pie recipe shows, you easily can roast your own pumpkin instead of buying canned. Check out these pumpkin-roasting tips for more suggestions. The process takes about an hour and the pureed pumpkin will keep for up to 5 days in your fridge. While it's roasting, make your own sweetened condensed milk using this recipe from Rodale.com's Nickel Pincher Jean Nick—not only is her recipe BPA-free, but it's also organic (organic canned condensed milk isn't easy to find).
Put 6 cups of organic whole milk in a heavy stainless steel saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 5 tablespoons of organic sugar and continue simmering for 10 to 15 minutes, or until you have about 3 cups left. Strain. Condensed milk can be refrigerated for up to one week.
If you're in a rush, Nick suggests using dry milk (Organic Valley makes an organic dry milk powder that should be available at your local natural food store). Heat 1/3 cup water to almost boiling. Combine 2/3 cup organic sugar, 1 cup dry milk powder, and 3 tablespoons organic butter in a small bowl, pour the hot water over it and whisk until blended. Use right away.
If both of those are beyond your culinary interests, try making pumpkin butter pie. Follow a standard pumpkin pie recipe, but substitute pumpkin butter (normally sold in glass jars, and thus BPA-free) for the puree, and heavy cream for the condensed milk. Omit any added sweeteners, as pumpkin butter is usually sweetened already.

Paul Sandby was 'the father of English watercolour'. With his brother Thomas, he produced dozens of watercolours that together comprise a fascinating visual record of Windsor Castle during the reign of George III.
One of the great artists of the Baroque, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (1609-64) was perhaps the most innovative and technically brilliant Italian draftsman of his time.
To celebrate the Diamond Jubilee, the Royal Academy of Arts presented a gift of over 100 works on paper to Her Majesty The Queen.
This exhibition displays thirty sheets of Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical studies and uses the latest medical technology to explore the modern relevance of his anatomical research.
This summer marks the 60th anniversary of the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and here we bring together, for the first time since Coronation Day, a spectacular array of dress, uniform and robes worn by the principal royal party.
Members of the British Royal family have been inspired to paint, draw and sculpt for generations. This exhibition shows examples of their handiwork from the last 350 years.
This exhibition explores the sumptuous costume of British monarchs and their court during the 16th and 17th centuries through portraits in the Royal Collection.
In 1862, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) was sent on a four-month educational tour of the Middle East, accompanied by the British photographer Francis Bedford (1815-94). This exhibition documents that journey.
Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most depicted women in the world. This exhibition presents a selection of official, commissioned and formal portraits of The Queen, gathered here from the different Royal residences.

CLEMSON -- Bashaud Breeland's name kept coming up when Clemson coaches were asked which players were making impressions in spring football practice.
During the first days of summer camp, it's the same story. Breeland, a redshirt freshman, is again earning rave reviews from his coaches.
That Breeland has emerged as the team's most intriguing young cornerback is a surprise since recruiting services like Rivals.com rated him as a marginal three-star prospect in 2010, an afterthought on signing day in a class loaded with more highly acclaimed defensive backs.
This August, Breeland appears to be the find of the 2010 class. And the opportunity is there for Breeland to contribute right away since Clemson must replace a pair of veteran cornerbacks who have graduated to the NFL. Marcus Gilchrist was a second-round draft pick of the San Diego Chargers; former Fort Dorchester star Byron Maxwell was drafted in the sixth round by the Seattle Seahawks.
Breeland appears to have everything that Clemson defensive coordinator Kevin Steele wants in a cornerback.
"He can fly, he's very strong, he's tenacious," said Steele. "He's a good tackler. He has top end speed with ball skills that helps you back there.
"Based on what we see now and in the spring, he can factor into multiple things if he keeps progressing."
Breeland, 6-1, 190 pounds, has 4.4-second speed in the 40-yard dash and has receiver-like ball skills.
He also has no fear.
"I think with Bashaud it is his confidence," veteran cornerback Coty Sensabaugh said. "That is the best thing he has going for him."
Breeland is listed as a second-team corner behind starters Xavier Brewer, a junior, and Sensabaugh. At the very least, Breeland will be in the mix to serve as the team's nickel back. But then no one would be surprised to see Breeland in the starting lineup for the season opener against Troy on Sept. 3.
"We are all aiming for a starting position," Breeland said. "(This summer) I'm picking it up faster. It's coming along easier."
Breeland is joined in the secondary by three other young corners in fellow freshman Garry Peters, and sophomores Martin Jenkins and Darius Robinson, all of whom were rated higher than Breeland as four-star prospects back in 2010.
They are the future, and perhaps the present, of the Clemson secondary.
"All of them have talent, all of them make plays," Sensabaugh said. "Of all the young guys, Bashaud has stood out the most."

ANZAC Day readings 2013 - Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG
These were the words read by Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG before the ANZAC Day Dawn Service at the Australian War Memorial on 25 April 2013.
(view the video thanks to ABC news)
Sgt Jed Wheeler, 6 Battalion, after his Platoon was engaged in heavy close contact with the Taliban in the Mirimbad Valley:
My adrenalin was slowly wearing off and was being replaced by deep fatigue. I lay in my stretcher with the smell of Cordite embedded in my nose, my ears ringing, and my whole body covered in a film of Afghan dust.
Relief washed over me. My boys, my family, were uninjured, alive, and safe; for now. Tomorrow was another day, and it was going to happen all over again.
Sapper Owen Perry, 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment, tasked with locating Improvised explosive devices:
"When I wasn't able to do anything I was feeling helpless; my mates were out there day after day doing the job, and if you can't go out there with them you get a real feeling of helplessness, because they're your mates.
The old fighting for queen and county garbage goes out the window; you only do it for your mates."
Pte Gary Wilson, 2nd CDO Regt, Wounded in Action, Northern Kandahar 2010:
I loved my first tour of Afghanistan; I was helping to protect my mates and was very proud of the progress we were making!
Since returning home I have had to re-learn everything, how to sit, stand, balance, walk, talk, eat, even drive! Everything that is so easily taken for granted.
I, like all of our wounded brothers continue to work as hard as I can to recover, and regain the life I once had.
Reflections from Cpl James Dwyer, Medical Corp, 2010:
We had been in Afghanistan for a month now, enough time for the nerves to subside and the routine to set in.
Days on operations can blur together, become monotonous, time can become irrelevant – You focus only on the mission at hand.
Today was different for me though, I was anxious and worried - not because I was in Afghanistan, but because thousands of kilometres away I was about to become a father for the second time, to a son – a son, I feared, I may never meet.
I wait nervously for a few hours before I use the Satellite Phone, I make a phone call to my wife – I hear her voice, she cries, it breaks me inside. My wife tells me our son is doing well, I ask her to tell me what he looks like – "Just like you" she says "But with red hair!" I laugh as tears well in my eyes.
I still have another month to see out before my leave arrives and I get to hold my son for the first time. When I finally meet my son, I hold him and I cry. He is beautiful.
A member of the Special Air Service Regiment describes the actions of a comrade in the Chora Pass 2006:
The boys were taking a pasting, recoilless rifle, mortar, machine gun and RPG fire was pouring in, that's when one of our cars was hit with an RPG!
Out of the three of them he was the only one left unscathed, the crew commander got it the worst, took some bad shrapnel in the neck and face and fell out of the car, and even with all that fire coming in, he just ran around to the exposed side of the car and picked his crew commander up, put him back in the vehicle and held onto him as he drove through the most horrendous fire to get the boys to safety, mateship at its finest!
WO Paul Boswell, Corp of Artillery, Helmand Provence, 2009:
One day, I was confronted by a young Captain who was a customer of the gun line a week earlier.
He and his patrol had been caught in an Ambush North of Musa Qala. His teams were passing through our FOB and he dropped into our command post.
He wanted to pass onto the lads his thanks for getting him and his boys out of trouble. On that particular day he had lost one of his soldiers to Taliban fire and could not get back in to extract his body due to the ferocity of the contact. The guns enabled the suppression and screening that allowed him to collect his lad and break clean.
I don't recall a moment in my tour that I was prouder of the lads than at that point.
A Digger from 3rd Battalion:
My first feelings were anger. Anger that these blokes had to die so far from home in such a horrible way. I also felt guilt!
How could I feel sadness for guys I didn't even know? But I did! I felt I had no right to because the others that were so close to them had it worse than me, why do I have the right to feel upset?
I remember being in the shower and crying over people I never knew, I felt so guilty and I still do. Even writing this I cant help tears that I've held in for months.
SGT C Fallon, Ordinance Corp, Rotary Wing Group Kandahar:
At this moment I am proud, proud of my wife and her efforts back home, proud of my country, proud that I am serving my country, proud of my mates' service and proud of the sacrifices we all make in order to serve.
As the unmistakable thud of the 'chook' taking off resonates around the airfield, I close my eyes and say a little prayer for the team heading out and wish them well as they head into the darkness.
I will catch a couple of hours sleep and do it all over again, because this is what I do, and where I want to be.
A Memory of Afghanistan - Major General John Cantwell, former National Commander of Australian forces in Afghanistan and the wider Middle East:
The patrol base sits in one of the war-torn valleys of Uruzgan Province in southern Afghanistan, a crude rectangle of earth-filled barricades.
The place is rough and ready, a base for combat operations with few creature comforts. The Australian soldiers who share the patrol base with Afghan Army troops are also a bit rough and ready. Their uniforms are stained and faded by sweat, their hair is untrimmed and many have several days growth of whiskers.
Their faces have been tanned a deep brown by the relentless summer sun and every ounce of fat has been burned from their bodies. They have been out here for months, patrolling nearly every day.
The insurgents have attacked them with bullets, bombs and rocket-propelled grenades. They have lost several mates, killed in action or badly wounded.
Despite this, I am rewarded with an easy grin and a firm handshake from each of the Diggers as I walk around the base, saying g'day. I sit and talk to them, asking about the local security situation, their families or the Ute they plan to buy when they get home. I cop a few cheeky comments and laugh with them. This is the best part of my job.
Squadron Leader Sharon Cooper, commander of a RAAF Combat Surgical Team in Afghanistan in 2008:
Today we received the largest number of Australian combat casualties in one attack since the Vietnam War. It is not at all surprising that my team did a magnificent job, and although I know that having Aussies come through the trauma doors tugged at their heart strings, they conducted themselves with the utmost professionalism, compassion and good old Aussie mateship.
My heart swells with pride to think of their actions on this night. There is little more confronting than treating one who wears your uniform. I ask myself how I return home, how I return my team home, if we leave one of our own behind.
As we worked with our Australian casualties I made a concerted effort to remember the Christian names of each of the boys as we treated them so that when I spoke to their mates and Commanders throughout the night, I hoped that I could convey that the boys were as important to us as they were to them, and that there was absolutely no chance that we would leave them behind.
WO Brett Donaldson, Corp of Artillery, 2012:
The Insurgents saturated the FOB (Forward Operating Base) with airburst RPGs, 82 mm mortars and 30 mm grenades aiming to allow two smaller Insurgent groups to achieve a break in.
Realising the deteriorating situation, two Australian Bombardiers took the initiative and engaged the numerous Insurgent groups' positions with their light Howitzer in the direct fire role.
Whilst engaging the Insurgents the two Bombardiers also gave fire control orders to other personnel within the FOB to engage the Insurgents resulting in the regaining of the initiative and the defence of the FOB. The actions carried out by the Australians earned the admiration of both their subordinates and superiors within the British and Danish Forces.
"A Young Brave Man" by young Connor Dawson, written of Sapper Curtis McGrath, Corp of Engineers, wounded in action Afghanistan 2012
Out in the sands of Afghanistan,
There once fought a young brave man.
A sapper, a soldier, family or mate.
But to all he was nothing short of mighty and great.
He served as a hero in a foreign land,
Out in the sun scorched golden sands.
He fought in an army, who fought under a rising sun.
Supported by his nation, friends, family and a loving mum.
For the ones he loved, he came to fight,
Fight for their every freedom and right.
So for what he believed in, he came over here.
And the sacrifice he made, sure was dear.
In this war, this desert fight,
he gave his legs, one Friday night.
But without those legs, this is not his end.
For those he loves, he will still defend.
And although, at the moment, he cannot stand tall.
That does not mean, his spirit is going to fall.
For he is still a soldier, mighty and strong
And he will finish his journey, no matter how long.
One day he may walk, one day he may run,
But either way, nothing will stop him from having fun.
For he is an ANZAC, who fights no matter the cost
And though great the sacrifice, his battle is never lost.
His old body is gone, but his new one is steady,
For every challenge ahead, he sure will be ready.
Although no longer in the sands of Afghanistan,
There still fights, a young brave man.
Tpr F, of the Special Air Service Regiment, describes his last mission in Afghanistan
For a split second as I was crawling forward on my hands and knees, towards my wounded mate, I couldn't help but think, 'this is déjà vu'. What seemed like yesterday was the same situation occurring again, just in a different Afghan valley.
Five years ago, I battled to save, but in the end had to watch a mate die - my heart had broken. Four years ago, I reassured and held the hand of a mate who had his legs blown off - my heart had shattered. And only three years ago, it was happening to me, as I found myself staring down at my own lifeless bloodied limbs after two machine gun bullets ripped through both my legs.
And here I was today, watching another mate, another brother, suffer this indescribable pain.
Soaked in mud made wet from his own blood and the hot sand around us, and still receiving heavy fire, we did all we could to save him. This day was not his day.
The Wife of Sgt Blaine Diddams, Killed in action, Chora Valley 2012
You have made us all so very proud! A loyal mate, a courageous solider who made the ultimate sacrifice for his country, but mostly a loving Dad and husband. I can only Hope you have made a difference.
Keegan Locke, son of Sgt Mathew Locke MG, Killed in Action, Chora 2007.
I often dream about him coming back to mum and I. Whenever something challenges me and I think of giving up, I can feel dad looking down on me and cheering me on, just like those young years at rugby.
His death left a hole in my heart, but his spirit has given me the motivation to push myself further then ever before, I truly believe he has given me the gift, of the Anzac spirit.
Private Benjamin Chuck, 2nd CDO Regt, killed in a Black Hawk helicopter crash, Afghanistan, 21 June 2010.
Hey baby, I waited till the night before going out to write this – put off is more like it.
Obviously I didn't think that I'd die. No one does. The way I look at it is – if it's your time, it's your time. I just wanted you to know how special you are to me.
You are the sweetest, kindest and prettiest girl I've ever met. I'm so happy you chose me and we got to spend the last 18 months together.
I am sorry to put you through this. Please forgive me and I hope you find someone down the track to make you happy, although matching me will be a hard task.
You'll always be with me my love and I with you.

Next Act gives wings, radio style to 'It's a Wonderful Life'
Imagine a Milwaukee without its musicians and dancers, its singers and actors, its highly reputed symphony and its world-class theater. It would look a lot more like Pottersville, that mean-spirited burg of cheap thrills and third-class entertainment that greets George Bailey before his great awakening.
Such were my thoughts Friday night as six veteran Milwaukee-based actors tugged at my heartstrings for the second straight year, in Next Act Theatre's reprise of "It's a Wonderful Life," as transformed by Mary MacDonald Kerr into a 1957 radio play, coming straight to us from the studio of Milwaukee's very own WNAT. »Read Full Article(1)

Remember when: Hungarian swim team trained in U.S.
1956 was an Olympic year. It also was the year of the Hungarian Revolt. Two seemingly unrelated events came together when the Hungarian swim team could not return to their homeland after the games.
I was a freshman at tiny Springfield College, Springfield, Mass. and was proud that the only gold medal in swimming had been earned by Bill Yorzyk a Springfield alum. Yorzyk and coach Red Silva succeeded in having the Hungarian swim team admitted to the USA and brought them to Springfield College for housing.
Having recently spent two years in Germany, courtesy of the Army, I was able to converse with the Hungarian athletes in our one common language, German. I served as a translator for the chats between the students and the Hungarian swimmers.
I recall their amazement that Yorzyk had been able to train in our ancient 20-yard pool. In fact one of their divers sprained a wrist when he hit bottom at 8 feet. He thought the "8" on the pool side meant 8 meters.
The Hungarians remained on campus for several weeks before moving on and eventually back to Hungary. I often wonder what became of them when they were behind the Iron Curtain again. It was fun and a bit of a thrill to be part of a small sidebar to such a historical event and it brings to mind how many other similar stories are involved in international events.
A story in the Stuart News concerning a man from Palm City and the Hungarian revolt brought all this out of my memory bank.

Rosie Pesciallo
Jan. 3, 1918 - Sept. 17, 2011
Rosie Marie "Rose" Pesciallo of Stayton, Ore., formerly of Milton-Freewater, passed away Sept. 17, 2011, at her home at the age of 93 years. Recitation of the Holy Rosary will be Friday, Sept. 23, at 7 p.m. at the Munselle-Rhodes Funeral Home, 902 S. Main St., Milton-Freewater. Funeral Mass will be Saturday, Sept. 24, at 10 a.m. at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, 722 W. Alder St., Walla Walla, with Father Patrick Kerst officiating. Concluding services and interment will be in the Mountain View Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to the M-F Library, St. Francis Churches in Milton-Freewater or Walla Walla, or the charity of the donor's choice through the funeral home.
Rosie was born Jan. 3, 1918, in Walla Walla, to Italian immigrants, Giulio "Julius" and Maria Moro Ponti of the Lombardia region. On April 23, 1938, she married Fritz I. Amato, and the couple moved to Portland. She was widowed at a very early age and was left with two young children, Rosmarie Amato Lieuallen and Dennis Amato.
On April 17, 1948, she married Bert Pesciallo and had two more children, Linda Pesciallo Williams and Gary Pesciallo. Rosie took two families and made one home. For years, Rosie was an active member of the St. Francis of Assisi Altar Society and Pleasant View Community Club where she and her friends prepared spaghetti and meatball dinners for fundraisers.
Her capacity for finding joy in life never ceased, not even in her final morning. When challenged by life's struggles, we can become embittered, embattled and entrenched. Rosie always chose to rise, regain and rejoin. She possessed talents from cooking, gardening, upholstering, sewing to hard farm work, delicate handcrafts, and singing. She was a magnet to hearts that were heavy, and they found in her solace, acceptance, and if needed, tough love. Each day she appeared immaculately turned out with her pearl white hair and smile. Her never-ceasing positive spirit would radiate around her. Her love of reading, word games and social interaction nourished a heart and mind of someone appearing so very much younger in years. We all forgot just how old this good heart was.
Do not be sorry for our loss. Be envious that she was ours for so long.
Bert, her husband of 56 years, preceded her in passing in 2006. She is survived by her children, Rosemarie Amato Lieuallen, Dennis Amato, Linda Pesciallo Williams and Gary Pesciallo; grandchildren, Rocco Lieuallen, Michele Amato and Michael, Christopher and Matthew Williams; great-grandchildren, Maggie Jane and Elsie Rose Williams and Indira Jane Lieuallen; two older sisters, Louise and Linda Aliverti and a younger brother, Ambrose Ponti; several nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. Her parents, sister Madeline Talarico and brother John Ponti all preceded her in death.

Stress is among the leading causes of age-related disease (Essential 4). It contributes to physical pain, as well as the appearance of wrinkles and premature aging. Few people realize that our ability to adapt to our ever-changing environments can greatly contribute to lowering our stress levels. Whether it's traffic, smoke, clutter, noise, mold, smog, or information over-load, our quality longevity depends upon our ability to adjust to these environmental influences (Essential 5). Personalizing our immediate surroundings, at home and at work, is an important environmental element that is within our control.
Reducing the clutter in our lives is a powerful way to lower stress levels. Just as it feels good to occasionally clean out your closet and get rid of the clutter there, it can sometimes become necessary to reduce relationship clutter -- clean your emotional house -- and conserve your energy for the people you love or care about. At times, relationships may become more damaging than they are enriching -- old friendships that were once meaningful, can become simply old habits that may have negative effects but are hard to break.
A healthy diet can have a major impact on life expectancy by lowering our risk for heart disease, cancer, and other age-related illnesses. Longitudinal studies have found that a diet that emphasizes the right food choices and helps people stay at their target body weight, can increase survival rates by 50 percent or more. We'll learn about The Longevity Diet (Essential 7), a healthy diet plan that allows you to eat all of your favorite foods -- even naughty desserts. It incorporates the best scientific data on healthful eating for longevity and weight control, combined with some of the most satisfying and delicious foods available. Just as fitness experts now tell us that for long-range health, it's best to cross-train our bodies by emphasizing aerobics one day, followed by weight training the next, and perhaps yoga the day after that, The Longevity Diet shows us how to cross-train our eating, allowing us to break free of the boredom and repetition of today's popular low-carbohydrate, South Florida, salmon-every-meal diets. We can enjoy a barbequed steak and Caesar salad one day, and a delicious pasta dinner with whole grain crusty bread the next. The Longevity Diet allows our bodies to cross the lines of today's fashionable diets and learn to process all good foods in realistic portions, while feeling sated, satisfied and anything but deprived.
We will look at the latest in medicines and treatments to keep us young (Essential 8). From smart drugs to botox to microscopic lasers, we'll learn about the options available to keep looking and feeling youthful throughout our lives. Even simply taking drugs to lower blood pressure has been shown to increase life expectancy by at least two or more years, and scientists have found that cholesterol-lowering statin drugs can increase survival rates of heart patients by more than 50 percent.
Many baby boomers may recall the 1960's Harvard professor who traveled to India and became the guru known as Ram Dass. His "Be Here Now" message became the mantra for staying in the moment, not worrying about the past nor stressing over the future. His message echoes that of many other teachers, ranging from Martin Buber to Lao-Tse.

Hi all,
My son is quite a little thumb sucker, especially in his sleep. His thumbs are all red and irritated from this. Is there anything I can do to prevent him from doing this? He won't take a pacifer...not that that is a solution.
Also, is there any sort of cream or ointment that I can put on his thumbs that is safe enough to get in his mouth? His thumbs look painful.
Thank you!
