Daviss: so far meharry is the only one I have seen online alt but worth looking again
bearnut2: I know one guy started a project on Afrigeneas and has transcribed one county but the GA Archives no longer allows purchase of the microfilm rolls.
veenGA: I have a bro in law Meharry class 1928 who left his bod to the school lab 1974 Benjamin T Wood SC and other relatives who are graduates so would see that as the test location alt. I have already planted the idea must of course have a well developed "business" plan
bearnut2: who was the "welcome" for?
AYWalton: Good afternoon, all.
bearnut2: ahh hey AYWalton!
Daviss: hello AYWalton!!

veenGA: bearnut2 AYW come in through the lobby comes
bearnut2: ahhh thanks veenGA

bearnut2: so...anybody get any "interesting" new cousins lately?
veenGA: indeed and absolutely
Daviss: lol bearnut2 I gained 3 cousins yesterday
bearnut2: Cool Daviss! lol

AYWalton: looking forward to getting it, vkn!
Daviss: my daughter used a kit lol but now that I think of it she may see something on her dad
veenGA: gotta run please check out link http://www.fgs.org/rpac/
bearnut2: the great uncle and half-sister were.
alt: okay bearnut2
veenGA: http://www.fgs.org/rpac/
bearnut2: but it was good to see that we really ARE sisters... I just found her in 2007
Daviss: hopefully when this cousin she has that is not on my list will be on her fathers whenever he gives his sample does that sound reasonable bearnut2? and alt
alt: well y'all I gotta skedaddle , laters
bearnut2: take care cuz'n alt
AYWalton: well I just popped in for a hot minute. Hope you all have a good one!
bearnut2: Daviss is her father testing or is the cousin a male?
fierybug08: i've got to go too. see ya'll laters
bearnut2: talk dna and they scatter! lol
Daviss: her father will be testing (he promised lol) and this cousin that showed up on her relative finder is a male
bearnut2: oh I wasn't sure who the "he" referred to... is it a close cousin?
Daviss: not that sure lol but I think it may have been in that 3-distant
bearnut2: lol
Daviss: she won't give me her password lol lol
bearnut2: for shame! lol
Daviss: lol lol
bearnut2: so far I haven't had any problems getting passwords...I'll have to ask my sister for hers to see if she has anyone interesting
Daviss: you can bet I will be asking again lol
bearnut2: I wish they would have separate passwords available that would only allow entry into the ancestry portion for folks who aren't that interested in genealogy but don't want to give access to their health info
Daviss: that would be very very helpful.. I have asked for my two close ones to share but no response after two tries
bearnut2: don't use up all of your chances! you only get three time to ask and then you're locked out of asking them forever!
Daviss: wow, I did not know that
bearnut2: that only applies to the anonymous folks in your RF...you can contact the "public" ones anytime. But the anonymous folks you can invite 3 times and then thats it. And you have to wait a month between invites.
Daviss: I wish they would even have listed what states they are in
bearnut2: I know...at least throw us a bone! lol
Daviss: that would even give me a little clue
bearnut2: well, I need to go update my spreadsheet and make some calls. Catch ya later!
Daviss: k have a good one
bearnut2: you too!

I think this book is amazing. I liked the book because I like how the author shows Allie's uniqueness. My favorite part is when Allie gets the canopy bed and pink collar for her kitten. The characters that I like are Allie Finkle and her teacher Mrs. Hunter. Allie's teacher kind of reminds me of my teacher Mrs. Luxenberger because she almost has the same personality. There was a character named Rosemary who changed near the end of the book. Rosemary was mean because she didn't have any friends. But then Allie invited Rosemary to see her new kitten. Rosemary became friends with Allie and her other friends. What is special about the book is that each chapter has a rule and it's made to look like the rules Allie has.
You should read the book because it gives you a little advice on how to be nice. It shows what it feels like to be the new girl. It also shows the social scene of girls in 4th grade.

|Caraway Cabbage, a Finnish Recipe
Cabbage lovers, oh my, you're going to love this cabbage. Thanks to the tomato, it's got a pretty pink color but what really makes it special is the texture. Really and truly, it's almost like noodles. Really.Truly. This is one of my oldest recipes, brought home from Finland when I lived there for a year as an exchange student. Terve – enjoy!
This week's recipe is from the far-north country of Finland where once upon a time, before the marvel of the modern food distribution system, the selection of fresh vegetables became sparse during long winters.
Rich in Vitamin C and inexpensive, cabbage was a winter-vegetable standby – but here is prepared in a new way, cooked on top of the stove with tomato, onion and caraway. Sautéed in butter, the cabbage softens until almost noodle-like in texture, though more flavorful.
If you're in a rush, use a bag of pre-cut coleslaw cabbage. That said, chopping up a cabbage yourself just before cooking seems to better release the cabbage's own natural sweetness. You can, however, successfully substitute fennel seed for caraway and canned tomatoes for fresh.
For a well-rounded, satisfying meal, serve this side dish with pork, a green vegetable and salad.
Time to table: 50 minutes
Makes 6 cups
- 2 – 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small head green cabbage, chopped (about 10 cups, 750g)
- 1 onion, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tomatoes, chopped (about 2 cups) or a 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1-1/2 tablespoons (yes, tablespoons ...) caraway seed
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
On medium heat, melt the butter in a large, heavy pot like a Dutch oven. Add the cabbage and onion as they're prepped. Cook, turning occasionally, until the cabbage is limp but not brown.
Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and simmer for 20 – 30 minutes until the cabbage reaches the desired softness; I like it somewhere between still-crisp and noodle-soft.
Serve hot. Easily made ahead of time, just gently rewarm, hydrating with a splash of water if needed.

Archived Boards and Threads... > SMF Feedback and Discussion
What can we do to help grow our 3PDs?
<< < (22/23) > >>
--- Quote from: Daniel15 on June 05, 2009, 12:14:56 PM ---
--- Quote ---$smcFun array with links to functions is just about the most stupid thing I've EVER seen, and I've seen a lot of stupid things. You hide the functions you use in an array so that I have no idea where the hell this function is defined.
Also it seems SMF is re-implementing php functions as in "$smcFunc['strlen']".
--- End quote ---
As far as I know, some functions are reimplemented if UTF-8 is enabled, to support UTF-8 on specific PHP configurations.
--- End quote ---
To expand on this, not all PHP functions are utf-8 compatible, which is why they need to be rewritten. There are no lines like $smcFunc['strlen'] = 'strlen';
Not sure if this has yet been stated, but it is pretty important I think it wouldn't hurt to restate it XD.
Software previews... or something like that. I know SMF releases beta's and RC's, but for certain projects, it requires more than that. Like TinyPortal (Though the creator of that is/was a SMF dev :P) and SimplePortal which use SMF in many ways is a tough thing to do and can take lots of time for the developers to get it properly working with the new version. Developers might get their projects working with SMF beta's and RC's, but each time a new version is released, a lot has changed and then their product cannot be used by clients for awhile until they have it working with the new version.
Basically, these developers need to be able to see what and how SMF is changing before a version is released. I don't mean SMF tell them first, wait a week or more, then release it. But in some way allow third parties to have some kind of access to know more of what is changing in new versions of SMF in a day to day basis.
Basically what I am saying is kinda like what Microsoft and Apple do... When they are developing the next version of an operating system, they give developers access to SDK's earlier than others, sometimes even giving them the whole operating system so they can test on it and what not. It would be a lot for SMF to do, but you could have some kind of team to do something like that.
So yeah :)
Sorry if some things didn't make to much sense... I am sitting in a 90 degree room .-.
Yes, I've seen that in other projects as well. It requires some management -- the same as keeping an active list of beta testers. You don't want people signing up for access to the latest SVN just to have it, for example. They have to be actively developing a plugin/mod/extension.
It is a very good idea, as it also gives 3PDs an incentive to stay active in their development.
Yeah. That is always the thing... these things have their ups and downs. But if you had a team which could manage that instead of having the SMF dev team (Who should be hard at work developing SMF XD) handle it, it would be workable. Probably slow at first, but after time, it would get better.
I like this idea, and hope it can be something of. But I fear as with earlier projects, that time and manpower escapes it being set in motion.

Terri Schlichenmeyer: The Bookworm Sez 1-21-13
October 16, 2013
Your weekends are suddenly wide open and empty.
No more extra televisions in the living room. No more Sunday snack-binging. You've put away your make-up, your lucky shirts, and the hats that no team can win without.
It's enough to make a grown (wo)man cry.
Yes, football season is over for you. But for 32 men, the end of one season signals the beginnings of another — that is, if they still have jobs. In the new book "Coaching Confidential" by Gary Myers, you'll read about a very unique club.
"Coaching Confidential:
Inside the Fraternity of NFL Coaches"
by Gary Myers
c. 2012, Crown Archetype
$26.00/$31.00 Canada
263 pages
Recommended Stories For You
It's all about the Trophy. The Vince Lombardi Trophy, to be exact: a big piece of metal that forces NFL coaches to "[drag] their families from city to city as they go from job to job …" says sportswriter Gary Myers.
The Trophy is why Sean Payton worked his way up the ranks from "scab" to coach of the ailing New Orleans Saints, post-Katrina. That Trophy may have been why Payton thought he was "bullet-proof" after the Saints' Super Bowl win. His "arrogance" led NFL commissioner Roger Goddell to suspend Payton, among others, for setting bounties on rival teams' players.
Want for the Trophy is why a 33-year-old "abrasive" owner persuaded a retired coach to "save" the Washington Redskins. The coach, Joe Gibbs, had a lot to learn: he'd been away from the NFL for over a decade, and rules had changed.
So had the world in general, which led to one of the most difficult things Gibbs ever endured.
The Lombardi Trophy is why a local man bought a team that few seemed to care about, and hired a coach who liked to job-hop. It's why that same coach is notoriously rough on his team to get results. It's why nice guys reach out to players who've lost their way, why fans suddenly idolize coaches they once complained about, why there are fireworks in the locker room as well as out, and why the rate of divorce among NFL coaches is so high.
"The coaching fraternity is small," says Myers. "Each year … a group picture is taken of the 32 head coaches. There are significant changes to the picture every year."
So you say you're passionate about pigskin and your closet is filled with bi-colored clothing. Now you can read about the guys you screamed at every weekend.
With the kind of access fans can only dream about, author Gary Myers goes behind closed doors and inside meeting rooms to bring readers a hard look at the glory and the gloom that comes with being an NFL coach.
But while this is a fan's dream peek, it's not pretty. Myers gives his readers hard truths about personal sacrifices, peccadilloes, and personality wars. Fans, I think, will enjoy knowing this info – but with a touch of discomfort.
Love your teams' coach or hate him, I think this book may open your eyes if you're a football fanatic or if you just love a good scandal. For you, "Coaching Confidential" will fill up an empty weekend rather nicely. ❖

Players: Nick Foles, Carson Wentz, Joe Callahan, Nate Sudfeld, Christian Hackenberg
PHILADELPHIA (AP) The Philadelphia Eagles have signed quarterback Christian Hackenberg and waived rookie offensive lineman Ian Park.
Hackenberg was selected in the second round of the NFL draft by the New York Jets in 2016 but didn't play in a game. He was traded to Oakland in May for a conditional 2019 draft pick and was released two weeks later.
The Eagles already have plenty of quarterback but Hackenberg gives them another arm in camp while Carson Wentz continues his recovery following surgery to repair two torn knee ligaments. Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles missed practices last week but returned Saturday. Nate Sudfeld and Joe Callahan took the snaps in the preseason opener.
Hackenberg starred at Penn State but his NFL career has been disappointing.
Free-agent wide receiver Demaryius Thomas was involved in a car crash near downtown Denver early Saturday, according to Denver police. Thomas' vehicle rolled over after he lost control. He and a male passenger suffered minor injuries and were taken to the hospital, while a female passenger sustained possible serious injuries that weren't life-threatening. The cause of the crash is being investigated, but it doesn't appear that drugs or alcohol played a role. Thomas was released by the Texans last Tuesday after his season ended prematurely due to a torn left Achilles. The 31-year-old had 59 catches for 677 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games with the Broncos and Texans in 2018. He's in danger of missing the start of the regular season and won't have a hot free-agent market for his services. As of now, it's looking like Thomas won't be one to draft in standard-sized leagues in 2019.
From RotoBaller
New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski remains non-committal about his playing future, but he has shown up to Gillette Stadium multiple times over the last couple of weeks. Gronk might just be receiving treatment for his thigh, but ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss views it as the tight end being in a good place with how the season ended. Gronkowski will be 30 if he plays in 2019, and he remains a big injury risk that looked much slower in 2018. He'd still be a TE1 if he returns for another season, but Gronk is no longer elite at a very weak position.
From RotoBaller
The Detroit Lions released wide receiver Bruce Ellington, safety Glover Quinn and linebacker Nicholas Grigsby on Friday. Ellington signed with the Lions after they traded Golden Tate to the Eagles and became their slot receiver until he landed on Injured Reserve on Dec. 22. He had 23 catches for 132 yards in four games for Detroit. Ellington's best year came in 2017 with the Texans when he had 29 catches for 330 yards and two touchdowns. Wherever he signs, he'll battle for a roster spot in training camp.
From RotoBaller
The Buffalo Bills released tight end Charles Clay on Friday. Clay provided only 21 catches (36 targets) for 184 yards (career-low 8.8 yards per catch) and no touchdowns in 13 games for Buffalo in 2018. He was rarely in the game plan for the Bills the last two seasons and won't be a very popular target on the free-agent market. His best season came in 2013 with the Dolphins when he had 69 receptions (103 targets) for 759 yards and six scores over a full season. The days of Clay being on fantasy rosters is over.
From RotoBaller
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles would "probably" be interested in playing for the New York Giants if they decide to move on from Eli Manning, according to one person with knowledge of Foles' thinking. Foles landing with the Giants would be less likely if the Eagles place the franchise tag on him, which is unlikely. The Jaguars are another team to watch out for, and there is mutual interest between them and Foles. After winning Super Bowl MVP two years ago and playing well as a starter again in 2018 when Carson Wentz was injured, Foles should earn a starting gig on the open market with several teams looking for a signal caller. While Foles has QB1 upside in the right matchups, his 2019 fantasy value will ultimately depend on where he winds up.
From RotoBaller
All indications are that the Pittsburgh Steelers plan to use the transition tag on running back Le'Veon Bell by the deadline on March 5. It's expected to have a value of $9.5 million to $14.5 million for one season and gives the Steelers a chance to match any offer he'd receive on the open market. Pittsburgh doesn't plan on matching any offer to retain Bell, but only to trade him. However, even if the Steelers find a taker in a trade, they'd need Bell to sign the transition tag first, which is highly unlikely. This situation continues to get uglier, but Bell won't be playing in Pittsburgh in 2019 no matter what. Despite having 1,229 rushing attempts in five seasons, Bell is in the prime of his career and has reached the 1,000-yard mark three times. He's one of the more versatile backs in the NFL and should remain an RB1 in his next home.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson will return to shadowing the top opposing wide receivers in 2019, according to defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.
Free-agent RB Mike Gillislee (Saints) worked out for the Detroit Lions Thursday, Feb. 14.
Miami Dolphins WR Danny Amendola could fill the slot receiver role for the Detroit Lions in 2019 because of his connection to head coach Matt Patricia, in the opinion of Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com.
Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (Achilles') said he is no longer wearing a walking boot but still has a 'slight limp' when walking around.
Fantasy Spin: After suffering an Achilles' injury late in the year, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Sanders miss time in 2019. He showed last year that he can be a WR2 as the top option in Denver's passing attack, but fantasy owners will need to be patient as he returns to form.
Arizona Cardinals WR Chad Williams caught 37 percent of the passes thrown his way in 2018 and had two catches or less in all but two games.
Minnesota Vikings WR Laquon Treadwell averaged 5.7 yards per target last year, the fourth-worst mark among receivers with at least 50 targets, and Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com expects Treadwell's fifth-year option to be declined.
Fantasy Spin: The former first-round pick has been a bust, and he didn't show any signs of righting the ship despite a bigger role in 2018. Even in dynasty formats, it may be time to give up on Treadwell.
Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent WR Golden Tate and Washington Redskins impending free-agent WR Jamison Crowder are options to fill the need the Green Bay Packers have at slot receiver, according to Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com.
Fantasy Spin: The Packers need a dependable option to support Davante Adams, and both Tate and Crowder would quickly become potential WR3 options if Aaron Rodgers is throwing them the ball.
Atlanta Falcons SS Keanu Neal (knee) posted a video of himself going through agility drills without a brace on his injured left knee.
Washington Redskins QB Colt McCoy (leg) was seen without any braces or supports for his injured leg.
Los Angeles Chargers impending free-agent LB Denzel Perryman will be re-signed this offseason if the Chargers have their way, according to a source.
Updating a previous report, free-agent QB Colin Kaepernick (49ers) desired at least $20 million to play in the Alliance of American Football, according to a source.
Free-agent QB Nick Foles (Eagles) is expected to 'keep tabs on' the New York Giants this offseason, according to NJ.com's Zack Rosenblatt. A source with knowledge of Foles' thinking said the former Super Bowl MVP would 'probably' be interested in starting for the Giants if they were to release QB Eli Manning.
Fantasy Spin: There are many pieces that must fall in order for Foles to the Giants to work out. It's a sensible destination, though, with Odell Beckham Jr. and Saquon Barkley leading one of the most talented offenses in the NFL. Foles could be the piece that makes them take a forward step. Were this signing to come to fruition, Foles would demand QB1 consideration given the pieces that would be around him.
Free-agent QB Nick Foles (Eagles) is not expected to return to the Philadelphia Eagles as the backup to Carson Wentz.
Fantasy Spin: Foles deserves a starting job. He won't want to play as a backup and make less money when there are teams willing to pay him to be their starter. He can be a part of the QB1 conversation if he lands in the right spot. Of course, when Wentz is healthy he too has QB1 appeal.
Free-agent QB Colin Kaepernick (49ers) and former NFL QB Tim Tebow were asked if they wanted to join the Alliance of American Football, according to league co-founder Bill Polian. Polian said he doesn't know what transpired with Kaepernick, but added that he spoke personally with Tebow, who declined.

Beth Burn isn't bragging and she isn't backing off.
A year ago her San Diego State women's basketball team was an unknown entity with a bunch of new faces. Mountain West opponents then discovered quickly that the Aztecs would be formidable en route to the conference championship and an NCAA Tournament berth.
This year, the conference teams know exactly what they're getting when Mountain West play begins this week.
"A year ago we were kind of under the radar," Burns said. "Now we very much are the radar.
"We're going to be the biggest home game on everybody's schedule. I'm not trying to self-aggrandize; I'm being real. We were 12-2 in league last year and most of the faces they recognize are back."
The Aztecs, 9-4 thus far, will somewhat nervously open their conference season with a 7 p.m. home game on Wednesday against Fresno State. The Bulldogs (8-6) are an old rival from SDSU's days in the WAC, but they are new this season to the nine-team Mountain West and the Aztecs haven't faced them since 2002. Burns called them the "X Factor" in the league this year.
"Half their roster is either from Australia or Oklahoma," Burns said with a grin of a team that has four Aussie players, two Oklahomans and only three Californians. "I have never seen them. I have never coached against their coach (Raegan Pebley, in her first year at Fresno after nine seasons at Utah State)."
The Bulldogs were 13-1 in the WAC last season and return that conference's Player of the Year in junior guard Ki-Ki Moore. They garnered two first-place votes in the preseason poll, dominated by the Aztecs, who were the overwhelming top pick with 22 No. 1 votes.
Only Wyoming (11-2) posted a better non-conference record than SDSU, but Burns put together a much tougher early schedule to challenge her senior-laden team. The Aztecs' losses included a 14-point defeat at UCLA, a one-point setback to Washington and an eight-point loss against then-No. 13 Oklahoma State.
Burns struggled early to find a comfortable rotation because she lost sophomore guard Anjalee Harvey for five games with a broken hand and sophomore forward Dezi Culberson was recovering from knee surgery.
But the starting lineup has been very consistent: returning conference Player of the Year Courtney Clements, superb playmaker Chelsea Hopkins, 6-feet-6 center Malia Nahinu, and forwards Erimma Amarikwa and Gabrielle Clark.
Clements is leading the team with an 18.3 scoring average, while Hopkins is second (11.9) and has been the Aztecs' assist leader in 10 of the 13 games. Nahinu is pulling down 5.8 rebounds per game.
Amarikwa, averaging 8.8 points as a sophomore, is the only starter who isn't a senior, and that's why Burns has such high expectations for her team, which lost to LSU in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last year.
"Our challenge is more mental," the coach said. "It's a grind. Sometimes when your team is older and they've been to March … March is fun … they kind of go through the motions. We're not good enough to go through the motions and not get beat."
To understand how challenging conference play in the Mountain West can be, there is the example of Air Force last season. The Falcons were the worst team in the league with a 1-13 record, yet in three meetings with them the Aztecs' margins of victory were 13, 13 and 10 points.
"The other girls in our conference, they might not be the fastest or most athletic, but they will wear you down mentally," Clements said. "They'll take all of those 25 seconds on the shot clock and find the best shot possible. That can beat you as badly as someone being able to jump out of the gym."Copyright © 2019, The San Diego Union-Tribune

LMFAO!! ahahahahaha…. that was my first reaction when I read the sms news.
Seriously, "Nazridiocy" at it's best again.
Mr Taxi king… a language question – "Riot" vs "Demonstration / Protest". Use a dictionary lah.
Which part of any of the Bersih, Anti-ISA, Lawyer's Walks, Anti-Lynas, Occupy Dataran, Hindraf, Malaysian's for Teoh Bang Hock / Death in Custody… even our good friends Perkasa's demonstrations, protests had any HINT of RIOT in them? Which one?
The closest thing to a riot all those assemblies has was the platoons of RIOT police (FRU) the government deployed. The only violence was from their batons, shields, kicks, punches and water cannons.
When people walk and express their support or displeasure in public, it's called FREEDOM.
When motherfuckers go chopping up their neighbours, or break into shops, start fire, steal goods… it's called CRIME.
In both the May 13 and London riots the problem were NOT about what laws or regulations the country had… it's about some deep social issues.
Now, a logic question – you seriously think your all-mighty Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011 could have STOPPED May13 or the London riots?
Those rioters were going to stop and think "hang on a second…. the Peaceful Assembly thing say cannot lah… better stay at home and forget about going out to chop the fellas down the road"… or "blimey, there's a law that say we disnae going oot and break them shop windows and steal them iPads and TVs like.. better we just go to the pub and have a peaceful pint, no?
Lastly, the best part of Nazridiocy is… the lies or the lack of facts.
"To strengthen his view, Nazri cited the London riots, which led to the ban on street demonstrations by the British government" – news
Erhem… Fact is – the British government only imposed "A 30-day ban on protest marches in five 'troubled' boroughs of London."
Nice try, bozo.

Prude takes home A-Sun honor in back-to-back weeks
Lipscomb's Gemikal Prude and Kennesaw State's Andre Dorsey shared the Atlantic Sun Field Athlete of the Week honors after both jumped to a height of 2.20 meters in the high jump, which ranks fifth in the nation.
They are both tied for first in the A-Sun in the event.
This is the second week in a row that Prude, a sophomore from Melbourne, Fla., has received A-Sun Athlete of the Week in field events. It is his third field performer of the week award in his career.
His 2.20 meters high jump Saturday at the TSU Invitational broke his own school record. Prude and the rest of the field athletes helped boost the Bisons to second place as a team at TSU.

We are heading to the beach this weekend; travelling with 3 adults and a 9 year old. We cook in alot, so we want our few restaurant meals to be great and local. This year, we are staying next to Seaside, and we are alot less familiar with the offerings near-by. Any suggestions other than the Red Bar? ( We've been there many times and love it).
Also, any special places to get ingredients? I know there is a Publix nearby, but would also love a great, cheap seafood shop.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today released a prioritized list of all 224 City programs and encouraged the public to comment on the list at lincoln.ne.gov. He also announced that for the first time, the list includes the estimated cost of providing the program in the 2011-2012 fiscal year. The list is part of the City's "Taking Charge" public budget process, which also includes a budget survey now available on the same City website.
The Mayor said the first three years of the "Taking Charge" process have shown City leaders that residents want to better understand the budget and the options that are available. He said the prioritized program list gives residents a simple and clear picture of what City Hall does and how much it costs. City programs are listed in order based on their importance in achieving goals, and those at the bottom of the list are less likely to be funded when the budget is tight.
"You can clearly see which programs are at risk when there is a budget shortfall and how much revenue we need to keep a program going," Beutler said. "You don't have to understand the complicated budget terms, dig through pages of data or know the right questions to ask. The program prioritization list available on our City website gives taxpayers a more clear and direct way to look at the City budget than they've ever had before."
Beutler said the list is an important tool in creating transparency and is designed to encourage community discussion. "It is important to my Administration to provide that information as we build consensus for a budget blueprint - a blueprint for the kind of future we want for Lincoln," he said. "Again this year, we face tough choices in maintaining the programs that help give Lincoln its unique quality of life. It is imperative that we make these choices together, because all of us will live with both the positive and the negative consequences of our decisions."
The City worked with the University of Nebraska Public Policy Center on the list and the survey. About 1,400 people have taken the online survey so far. The Mayor also reminded residents that they can sign up online for the "Taking Charge Community Conversation" on Saturday June 18 at City Hall. Participants will learn more about the City budget and discuss several specific issues that will help the City establish priorities and make spending choices.

Coalition Against Bigger Trucks
The Coalition Against Bigger Trucks (CABT) is a national nonprofit that works on commercial vehicle size and weight laws. We are focused solely on preventing increases in truck size or weight. Our concerns with heavier and longer trucks are safety, infrastructure damage, the cost of that damage on communities and taxpayers as well as the environmental impacts heavier trucks bring. Nationally and locally we partner with law enforcement, safety advocates, labor unions, environmentalists and local elected officials.
We have two primary target audiences. The first audience is comprised of state and local community leaders (primarily law enforcement officers, labor union leaders, environmental groups, public interest organizations, and state and local elected officials). The other target audience are staff members to Members of Congress.
We are looking to update our logo which is from the early 90s and would like this logo to be the cornerstone of our rebranding effort (website and presentation materials). We have no specific design ideas for the logo at this moment. We want to rely on the creativity of each member of the 99 Designs community to put their unique ideas to work.
I've attached our current logos for you to see, the first is our national logo and the second is what we use for each individual state coalition. Ideally, we'd like to see a logo that we could be adapted for each state coalition.
This logo will be used for our website (http://www.cabt.org) our field materials, business cards and presentations and should be crisp and clear. It's important that the logo be a very "clean" design and every letter must be clearly readable.
Logo text can be in either upper or lower case, or capitalized.
Logo should be professional, modern with a little bit of style.
No cartoonish logos.
Designers should feel free to play about with their own color schemes, but please avoid garish combinations.
The logo should be unique. Vector graphics only, please.

Pus and Pollution: Christian Thoughts on Yucky Things
I drove home from the surgeon's office feeling light and free. It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, I almost sang to myself. I had hated that thing. I hated knowing it was there, gross and permanent, even though I could not see it. It had felt like more than a flaw. It had felt like a pollution.
As I was driving home, congratulating myself on finally being free of the thing, I remembered the Bible passage I had read to the kids this week. Every night we read aloud a chapter of a novel, a chapter of the Bible and several picture books, and lately our Bible reading has come from Acts. We had just finished Acts 10, in which Peter has his vision of the animals. A sheet descends from heaven, holding all sorts of ritually unclean animals, and the voice of God commands him to kill and eat. When Peter objects because the food is "impure" or "unclean" according Jewish dietary laws, God responds, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
The trouble with my attitude toward my cyst - an attitude I struggled to resist when I thought it was going to be permanent - was that I viewed a harmless thing as an impurity, something with the power to make me dirty. I didn't say that out loud, of course (I'm proud and I knew it would sound ridiculous), but I felt it all the same.
Lately I have stumbled across more and more "thinspiration" material from pro-anorexics (this is mostly on Pinterest, which is glutted with the stuff). Pro-anorexics are people who advocate their eating disorder as a superior way of life. There is a consistent theme in "pro-ana" commentary: a desire to be pure and light, free and clean. They see not just certain kinds of food as unclean, but all food. Eating itself is the pollution, and purity and freedom are achieved by depriving oneself to skeletal proportions. There is an almost medieval asceticism to it. Self-abnegation to the point of death, it is hoped, brings cleansing.
But the words of Peter's vision echo. "Do not call impure anything that God has made clean." The Christian perspective (especially the Reformed theology in which I participate) is that purity, freedom, wholeness - whatever word you want to use for joyful goodness and freedom from regret - is not accomplished by our efforts, but is accomplished for us by God. God makes us clean. God through Christ declares what we are: beautiful, cherished, free. Our difficult task is not to purify ourselves; our difficult task is faith, believing that we really are the clean and free beings he has turned us into.
One of my favorite pulp novels (anyone who has read my blog for a long time knows what book I am about to mention) is Robin McKinley's Sunshine. In the climactic battle of the book, the heroine Sunshine fights evil victoriously, but is convinced that by doing so, she has been polluted by it. Her friend Con tries to convince her that the evil she fought has no power to taint her. Evil is only a powerful idea, he says. Reject the idea and you have conquered it.
McKinley has captured, in a mirror image (and possibly unintentionally), the challenge of Christian faith. We are challenged to believe that good has triumphed over evil, not only cosmically, but personally. The struggle is to believe that neither our inconsequential flaws nor our deeper moral failings have the power to change what God has done. We do not determine who we are; we receive it, and grace is God's persistent patience and aid in our struggle to believe it.
So I was wrong to view my cyst as a pollution, just as the anorexics are wrong to see sustenance as a defilement. We cannot be made unclean by those things. God has made me clean.
I just have to believe it.
6 comments:
It is amazing the power certain things have that encourages us to feel unclean. (I almost wrote "make us feel unclean" and then realized that no thing has the power to make us feel anything, but still....) There are family dynamics that do it, because they have been inculcated at such an early age.ReplyDelete
Nevertheless, I am happy for you that the cyst has been removed.
Oh my. I love you. Thank you for being who you are, for listening to God, and for SHARING your experience in such a considered way.ReplyDelete
Love. You.
Very much enjoyed your journey in this post. I do prickle at any thoughts of anorexics being weak in faith, but understand that is not what you are saying. The hardest case I ever worked with was an anorexic woman who was struggling so deeply with her faith, trying to come to terms with her mental illness & her God. It was nearly impossible for her to process a crisis in faith & a crisis in health simultaneously & it almost killed her.ReplyDelete
It is funny how something becomes so big in our minds. You are not alone in "making a mountain out of a molehill." We all have something that we let us define us.
Again, enjoyed this post!
Eryn, thanks for commenting. No, I wasn't trying to say anorexics have "weak" faith. Everyone has their own battle. Just like me.ReplyDelete
(I know--thoughtful analysis and response! . . . How about this: Understanding the power mind games have over our lives, and even the fate of nations, makes the old saw about renewing our minds (Romans 12) that much more applicable. So now I just have to do it . . .)

In a small pot, bring the white wine vinegar, water and cinnamon stick to a boil. Add in the shallot, jalapenos, and sugar, and then remove the pot from the heat. Adjust the seasonings with salt, if desired, and let the mixture set for 10 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick, and strain the liquid, reserving the pickled shallots, and jalapenos for the Plantain Gratin, recipe follows.
Preheat the broiler. Place the plantains in a flameproof baking dish, and drizzle them with the vegetable oil, and season with salt to taste. Broil the plantains for 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized. Sprinkle the cheese and green onions over the plantains and continue broiling for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Transfer the plantains to a serving dish and garnish with the Pickled Topping and fresh cilantro leaves.

Our Fitness Blog
Confession: The Exercise I Used to Think Was Impossible
There comes a day when you are working out and you realize that something you used to think was pretty challenging has become easy…yes, easy. This is not an urban legend!
It is very important to try not to get discouraged about the exercises that we can't do yet. If you can just take a deep breath and know that every fit person started at a place where they could not do SOMETHING, you can calm your mind. Your mind will get the better of you if you let it, and not in a good way! If you find yourself depressed or discouraged that you're goal exercise isn't happening, turn that frustration around into your motivator.
This is not an opinion: it's A FACT that if you consistently keep after one particular exercise in your fitness routine, you will eventually get strong enough to do it. It's just science. Muscles get stronger if you keep pushing them.
What's the hardest thing for you? It could be push-ups on your toes, burpees, planks…etc.
My own fitness journey has been the rewarding addiction to seeing myself be able to do things I thought were impossible for little ol' me.
My first nemesis was simply lunges holding two 10 lbs weights. No lie. I thought that was so advanced that only a freak of nature could do such a thing. Funny.
My mind was so limited then!
Of course, that was 12 years ago and many pounds heavier, but I make sure I never forget it, because every day I meet people who are just starting their fitness routine and are feeling the same way.
I also struggled a LOT with jumping rope. I just felt so HEAVY. I was so envious of people who could lightly bounce along for 3 minutes. It silently killed me inside!
So, what does this mean for YOU?
Once you can do an exercise you need to challenge yourself a little more. The body actually adapts very quickly (it loses it quickly too, so don't forget that. Stay consistent.) Personally, I've noticed that just a few weeks of consistently focusing intently on any one certain exercise and I see an increase in strength. That being said, you should never "settle" on the fact that you can 'get by' doing an exercise, but rather, always be seeking improvement. The human mind was made for the desire to expand.
DID YOU KNOW? Humans are pre-programmed for a burning desire to be greater and greater, so don't resist that impulse. Use it, and never stop bettering your best! This is actually an amazing LIFE LESSON, but for the sake of this discussion let's stay focused on just the fitness aspect.
So, take the BURPEES as an example:
Goal 1: Just get through the dang thing. Bridge.. pop feet out together… pop feet back… up and jump.
Goal 2: Add a push up each time.
Goal 3: Focus on perfect form every time: neutral neck, hips level (not up or down) on the bridge, and abs are held tight.
Goal 4: Focus on perfect form in the squat jump portion: meaning, chest out, not rounding the back and holding your abs tight right before you come up for the jump. (Try this, it's harder than it sounds. )
Goal 5: All the above down pat? Add a jump TUCK rather than just a jump, you BEAST!
That's quite a few levels of improvement you can do for just one exercise.
To do all these things though, your mind must be engaged, and you are the only person who can know if you're doing these things. So, you must have discipline. Each of these goals will feel challenging at the beginning, and then magically one day, you're ready for the next challenge.
This is what I love about fitness. You never outgrow it. It's a way of life.
You get out what you put in.
I'm addicted and proud.
See you in 9Round everyone!

Brother of former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown arrested in Old Lyme for impersonating police officer
Old Lyme — Police on Friday arrested a heavily armed man who they say impersonated a police officer, represented himself as a member of the Coast Guard while stopping boaters and told people he was part of a security detail connected with the Coast Guard barque Eagle.
Bruce W. Browne, 46, of Wolcott was charged with impersonating a police officer, interfering with an officer, possession of a dangerous weapon in a motor vehicle and breach of peace.
Browne is the brother of former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts, although their last names are spelled differently. Scott Brown told The Associated Press he was estranged from Browne, who is his half-brother.
"As many of you know, my mom and my late father were married and divorced four times each," Brown wrote on his Facebook page. "Unfortunately, we were not close as a family. These are serious charges and he will need to answer them. I feel badly for his children and I am thankful that no one was injured."
The former senator told WMUR-TV in Manchester, N.H., that he last saw Browne at their father's funeral in December.
Old Lyme police officers and state police from the Troop F barracks arrested Browne after responding to a call Thursday evening from a resident in the Point O' Woods beach community who reported seeing a man in military clothing carrying a gun while walking on Sea View Road, police said.
Earlier in the day, the witness had seen the same man walking around in a SWAT-like uniform. After the witness asked the man what he was doing, the man identified himself as a member of the Coast Guard's security team who was going to take photos of the Eagle, according to police. The Eagle returned to New London Friday from its summer cruise.
After seeing him later with a gun and bulletproof vest, the witness wrote down Browne's license plate number after watching him get into an unmarked cruiser, according to police.
After searching the area, officers found a 2004 blue Crown Victoria with antennas mounted on the trunk in a driveway at 32 Sea View Road, where Browne was attending a cookout, police said. Browne later said he owned the vehicle, according to police.
After questioning Browne, who was wearing Battle Dress Uniform pants, police found three loaded 9 mm handguns inside the vehicle along with 12 fully loaded magazines with a total of 101 hollow-point and 102 ball 9mm bullets, an expandable baton and a black nylon duty belt with two sets of handcuffs.
Browne also had a black tactical bulletproof vest with a silver metal Transportation Security Administration badge and "POLICE" on both the front and back, police said.
Browne told police he had walked on Sea View Road with a black nylon gun belt with a loaded 9mm pistol in a belt holster.
Upon further investigation, police said they learned Browne had earlier in the day taken a boat that did not belong to him. Claiming he was a "police/Coast Guard" official, he stopped three vessels off Point O' Woods and asked for the boaters' registrations and boater safety certificates, police said.
Police said he possessed an expired Coast Guard identification card that had belonged to him when he was a reserve member.
TSA and Coast Guard officials determined that Browne is not affiliated with either agency, the release stated.
Lt. J. Paul Vance, the state police spokesman, said police and Coast Guard officials planned a follow-up investigation to determine if any other similar incidents had taken place in the region.
Browne, who was released on a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in New London Superior Court on Aug. 22, works for Northeast Surveillance & Communications of Wolcott and was visiting friends in the area, according to police. Wolcott Police Chief Edward Stephens said Browne "never caused us any trouble in Wolcott."
Old Lyme police Officer William Zipadelli was the arresting officer. The investigating officers were Old Lyme police Officers Zipadelli, Martin Lane, Sal Milardo and Tom Heinssen.

Sourav Sipani needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 110 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Marksheet provides online examination results to millions of students across countries. We are the fastest, easiest and simplest way for students to view their performance across various tests and examinations
Students from the age group 14 to 21
The website provides a very important service to students. Checking one's examination or test results is one of the most nerve wrecking moments for a young individual, especially if those examination/tests have long term career impacts. The Logo needs to do a fine balancing act between the following two things:
1) Should be fun and bright enough to appeal to young individuals
2) Should not be very casual as the students will come to the website with a serious purpose
Following are some additional guidelines that designers should refer to:
1) The Logo should include 2 parts: (i) the text "Marksheet" and (ii) a picture. Both these parts should be such that they can be represented together and are also identifiable independent of each other. Ex: Twitter, Apple, Android, etc...
2) "Marksheet" is also the name of the domain and will be used as "Marksheet.xx". where "xx" will be replaced by different domain extensions depending on the country. Hence it should be easy to suffix the text part of the Logo with different domain extensions.
3) Even though a white background is acceptable, a colored background would be preferred

AMD A8-3850 Llano Desktop Processor Review - Can AMD compete with Sandy Bridge?
Llano Graphics Engine and Product Lineup
AMD Llano Graphics Engine
We have looked at the x86 CPU core portion of the AMD A-series Llano APU now let's take a look at the GPU portion and see what architecture AMD has implemented. Based on the Redwood GPU design from the Evergreen generation (think Radeon HD 5600), the Llano APU possess a lot of GPU horsepower for an integrated solution.
Each line in the A-series will have its own iteration of GPU specifications with the A8 obviously taking the lead. With 400 stream processors (now being called Radeon Cores) built on 5 SIMD arrays of 80 each, 20 texture units, 2 ROPs and a 600 MHz clock speed, the top option is capable of 480 GFLOPS of raw computing power. (The A8 mobile Llano APU ran the GPU cores at 444 MHz, so we are seeing an increase here in the higher TDP options of the desktop market.) The A6 offering drops to 4 SIMD arrays (320 total Radeon Cores) and runs at slightly lower clock speed of 443 MHz.
If you have read any of our AMD GPU stories in the last 18 months the chances are good this diagram will be very familiar representing the "Sumo" architecture found in the Llano core. The update to the Redwood core includes the newer UVD3 engine, additional power gating support for better energy efficiency as well as being integrated to the new memory interface required for being slapped on an APU. Also interesting? This is the first GPU to be built on GlobalFoundries new 32nm process technology.
With the Radeon heritage users that pick up a system based on the AMD A-series of APUs will get many added benefits like this one: much better aniso filtering when compared to the CPU/GPU competition from Intel (on the left). If you don't know the significance of this diagram just know that the condensed, uniform appearance on the right will result in better image quality in gaming. I think this is a trend that cannot be easily overlooked - the graphics drivers from AMD have been and will continue to considerably outpace Intel's in terms of features and performance.
There was at least one interesting addition to the control panel suite this time around, a feature called AMD Steady Video. Using a heterogeneous computing model AMD's driver will have the ability to stabilize "bouncy" video that is usually associated with consumer cameras and unsteady hands. We were just getting a chance to play with this option before we had to finish up this review so expect more on this later.
AMD will definitely be pushing the benefits of the Llano A-series APU to users and OEMs both in standalone configurations as well as dual-graphics systems. More on that technology and its performance later in the review.
Obviously another big factor for AMD with Llano and the A-series of APUs is DirectX 11 support. Here you can see a very blunt demonstration of that fact as we see not only huge performance benefits with the A-series APU over the Intel Core i5 Sandy Bridge system but also that Intel's processor graphics simply can't run DX11 applications. Many of you will simply shrug this off saying that you can games with at least similar image qualities on the DX9 code path but DX11 offers much more than that including multi-threading support, tessellation support and Shader Model 5.0 support.
One area where the GPU combatants used to thrive is in the world of transcoding applications. First there were CUDA-accelerated transcoding programs, then NVIDIA and AMD supported ones and finally we are getting into OpenCL development down the same road. This slide uses software from Arcsoft to demonstrate the performance advantages seen on the AMD Fusion A-series of APUs where the red bar represents CPU-only transcoding and the green bar shows the advantages when enabling GPU acceleration. Using the DX11-class GPU on the A-series parts you get some very noticeable performance boosts as well as much lower CPU utilization during that transcoding time.
The problem of course with this argument now is that Intel has addressed the transcoding problem on Sandy Bridge with some dedicated logic on the chip, not using the shaders on the GPU. It turns out this results in a much faster transcoding application than even those accelerated by discrete or integrated GPUs from AMD or NVIDIA. The GPU-based designs used on AMD's APUs are definitely more flexible and extensible than the hardwired unit on Sandy Bridge, but we need to see some more software fall into our hands that really utilizes the GPU. Maybe the AMD Fusion Developer Summit will do just that...
Product Lineup and Positioning
With the mobile Llano launch there were seven different product SKUs announced at the time of launch to cover all kinds of different mobile markets - from the highest performing A8-3530MX running at 2.6 GHz to the lowest power option A4-3300 running dual-cores at 2.5 GHz at a 35 watt thermal envelope. For the desktop launch the lineup is a lot more simple.
Only four different processors are being released, two each into the 100 watt TDP category and two at the 65w level. Keep an eye on that specifications table though and note that the A8-3850 and the A6-3650 that fall in that 100 watt TDP do not actually include support for the AMD Turbo Core Technology and will instead run at the specified frequency the whole time. By the "whole time" though I do NOT mean that features like AMD Cool'n'Quiet are no longer functional - your processor will still idle down to 800 MHz and scale up to the 2.9 GHz level as the load increases. On the other hand, the A8-3800 and A6-3600 will run at speeds "as high as " 2.7 GHz / 2.4 GHz depending on the APU load but will at least run at 2.4 GHz / 2.1 GHz. That flexibility is what allows the processors to stay within that 65 watt thermal level for system builders.
The only other feature of note is that the A8-3800 and A8-3850 will include the faster integrated GPU configuration with 400 Radeon Cores while the A6 parts will utilize the 320 core variant. Those brandings, the Radeon HD 6550D and the HD 6530D will become more important later when we discuss how they integrated with discrete graphics to form the basis for AMD Dual Graphics technology.
What about pricing? This is where things will get very interesting for readers of PC Perspective. The A8-3850 (which is the processor we were sampled for testing) will come in at an MSRP of only $135. Yes, you read that correctly. The A6-3650 is going to run you $115. Pricing on the A8-3800 and A6-3600 weren't specified yet as they won't be available immediately but we expect them to put a very similar dent in your wallet.
From a competitive stand point that clearly defines what market AMD is going after here. The lowest priced Core i5 processor is the Core i5-2300 priced at $185 - well beyond the price of the most expensive Llano APU. That really just leaves the $125 Core i3-2100 to take the brunt of the attack from AMD on the Sandy Bridge front line. Because of that matchup you will see a WHOLE LOT of Core i3-2100 benchmarks thrown into the mix in this review.
But right now, let's take a look at the chipset (or Fusion Controller Hub) that all Llano-based systems are going to be built around and see how features match up with current Intel offerings.
That load power consumption doesn't look too good. Given that the GPU isn't active in a CPU-only test, one would have hoped that the power consumption doesn't approach the 100W TDP. That raises questions about Glofo's 32nm process.
i digg on them big booty hoe's with them daisy dukes on
Interesting take...
Considering how little of a CPU the average user uses these days, integrating a CPU into a primarily GPU was a good choice. I would really like to see what the retailers(dell, HP, apple?) do with this chip. Especially if we see some sort of media powerhouse 1 chip Micro-ATX configurations. Right now that kind of field is dominated with some of the Atom type systems which are really lacking in the ability to handle media, if we see price drops in the llano line then it could push atom out of the super-compact media lineup.
Alternatively if it is adapted for mobile processors it could be a cheap solution to integrating discreet graphics on a full size laptop, however that 150W under load would eat a battery in no time.
Actually Llano for the mobile market was launched a couple weeks ago and is already showing up for sale.
Saying this over half a year later, I can confirm this is all true. The atom is currently being destroyed, and apple is rumored to be adopting APUs.
AMD is using outdated production process in it's chipsets (65nm) that in part adds to power consumption.
The bulldozer chipset is 65nm.
Eh, that really is not an issue. The problem with going to a smaller process with these chipsets is really how many transistors they have and need. Now that we are seeing most of the northbridge functionality on CPUs, there is no real reason to shrink chipset logic. The problem that we start seeing is that these are already small chips, and if we shrink anymore without adding a bunch of extra features (and therefore transistor count), then we run into the problem of having enough pad space on the die for the substrate and pinouts. These chips also do not eat a whole lot of power at this time. Maybe 7 watts at max with two chips? It was different with the 790GX/890GX chips, as they were in the 15 watt range. But with the 990FX and SB950 both consuming between 5 and 7 watts combined... not a huge issue for a desktop application.
Read a litle and then write!!!! Both Llano and bulldozer are 32nm like sandy bridge.
I like the new APU and i want it in some new Del laptops. Please keep a eye on this thanks. I dont like to over spend on any PC for it doing a basic job. thats watching vidio surfing and listting to audio and NO incodeing at all. yet i want to watch UTube and vidio content. I dont want any stutter and good audio. 6 ours batry life is fine 8 would be awsome. It has to have USB 3 ports + Thunderbolt. I think Thunderbalt is dead in the water if you have to buy the lead for 50$ too.
Why is every reviewer using DDR3 1333Mhz RAM? This review is useless as a result. Llano is very memory bandwidth capped.
Hillarious. So many out of touch. Four cores to do meaneal tasks with actual GFX performance and power consumption that equalls the best. AMD will eat the competition despite reviewers being so removed from the reality of what box stores sales are comprised of. Of course Intel will just use its uber billions to advertise your need for "Intel" in the box, and discount its low end to compete.
Reviewers need to stop focusing on CPU performance when it comes to certain market segments. I have 10+ imidiate family members who could never figure out how to stress a modern CPU if they were offered $$$. But they get pissed in a second when they have crap multimedia. I have yet to hear anyone ever complain that their off the shelf just couldn't keep up with Office for them.
We are all past minimum performance being an issue. Get over it. This new AMD tech struggles in no area, yet the competition has constant issues with price or GFX capability in comparison.
It is an interesting point of view here. Though I disagree with the statement of "who could never figure out how to stress a modern CPU".
If you actually read the review you will see a lot of testing done on the graphics side of things with faster memory settings than 1333 MHz.
As for the CPU processing side of things, memory bandwidth makes a noticeable difference in very very few cases.
Quote by reviewer: AMD Dual Graphics is a technology that I think has potential but lacks in some areas that I thought it needed to excel in. The fact that it doesn't support DX9 games completely confounds me and the response from AMD was built around the idea of "time commitments and value propositions." I don't see how DX9 titles, which are still FAR AND AWAY the majority of games out there right now, could not be worth the investment for gaming on the APU.
This is laughable, could not be worth investment for gaming on the APU? The I3 I5 or I7 with HD3000 CAN NOT play the DX9 games, the frame rates are to low. Not only that the image quality is less than video cards from 5 years ago. So which company is lacking an investment on DX9 games? Yes it would be nice to see dual graphics work on DX9 games but the fact is the AMD 6650D IGPU can play them just fine without dual graphics. Maybe you should also note that the HD3000/2000 do not support DX11.
Actually, we mention a few times that only the AMD APU can handle DX11 gaming. But the issue is, DX11 titles are going to be most often run at DX9/10 settings on these performance levels of GPUs.
This review is lacking. Want to talk about gaming performance, how about a Pentium G620 + $60 discrete graphics?
That is indeed a good combination there - we just didn't have a chance to test ALL the combinations we wanted too. Soon!
In this video from AMD:
They were showing how their chip kept plugging away while the mobile i7 ground to a halt due to ineffective multitasking ability.
Does this make any difference in real-world situations? I don't know.
Ryan, have you tried this same test, i.e. comparing the llano when asked to run multiple tasks vs. the Intel i series chips? Just curious if this really is the case, or marketing hype!
So if you take out the GPU-based gaming from that workload demonstration I think you will find WILDLY different results comparing Sandy Bridge to Llano.
How well does this multi task though?
While I don't do it, I know several "non gamer" types in my family who like listening to music while surfing the web. I know others do some downloading in the background while playing a game in windows mode so they can switch back and forth between the game and a chat window.
Weird (in my book), but it seems like there are a lot who do these kind of multi tasking things with their systems today.
Love the podcasts by the way. Though, the last couple have had video and audio sync problems (in case you didn't know).
Assuming a good watercooling block such as the Corsair h70,and plenty of fans,do you feel this chip has significant O/C capacity?
In my MC guild, we rolled for gear because we the group was in fact an alliance of 2-3 little guilds operating collectively to create 40-mans achievable. Only merchandise I ever bought was my Pally bracers, a BOE... from the auction home.
That is a totally random comment. What forum were you supposed to be posting that to.
As usual, a very well written article Ryan. I can tell you really spent a lot of time writing it, unfortunately not all the people commenting seem to care about the time you spent to both research the product as well as actually understand it.
My take on Llano is that they should have stuck to only launching it for "gaming notebooks." There was a toshiba on sale last week with the A8-3850 for $500 and that was the first time i saw an AMD notebook in a long time that actually seemed worth buying at a good price.
I also think a good market for Llano would be gaming nettops. A little Lan box that could play games decent, but nothing like a typical "gaming rig."
i think its good and im buying it next week along with hd6670...i seen few videos on you tube and im convinced its preety great considering price...so...its for ppl that need PC for new games like me and cant afford to give 2k $ for some beast of PC :) in cross with hd6670 it can play crysis 2 on average of 30-35 FPS so im contend with it :) thx for review :)
Hi there,
I recently got apu3850 + Radeon HD6850. Any chance to crossfire this combination? Tried it according video tips for apu + 6670, but can't see crossfire option anywhere in AMD Vision Control Panel.
AFAIK, the HD6850 is not supported for Dual Graphics. It's far too powerful to benefit from the onboard HD6550. The HD6670 is the most powerful supported GPU.
I'm having a similar problem except I have the apu3850 and an HD6770 card... I have the most updated drivers but do not see the "enable crossfire" option in vision center. Any ideas?
the APU trades memory bandwidth for more GPU performance; for a weak 64-bit DDR3 6450 it may mean +50% (unlikely), but for a full 256-bit GDDR5 6850 with lots of shaders it may even slow it down ... parallel processing has a cost, if it's added other bandwidth penalty it may be counter-productive ... so NO, you made a pretty bad choice if you miss the 1866 DDR3 support
I think you have missed the whole point of buying an a-series APU.
If you want better performance that what the inbuild 6550 and a pci 6670 card will give you, then just dont bother buying the A-series APU.
Get yourself a decent AMD X4 or X6 chip instead and a motherboard that support AM3 chips.
These chips are faster the the A-series and will team up better with the higher end graphics cards.
This review is bullshit.
You can't overclock llano more than 3-5%
All you are doing is changing a number with your "overclocks", benchmark and see.
This processor is perfect for me. Low price and reliable performance. and discrete level dx 11 and grafichs.
this is the future of protcessors!
I just installed an amd a8-3850 processor, and i was wondering what is the best discrete graphics card to use dual graphics with my cpu. i have been looking at the Visiontek 900485 Radeon HD 6670 Video Card.
appreciate any help :)
im thinking the most likely card i will buy is the DIAMOND 6670PE32G Radeon HD 6670 2GB 128-bit GDDR3. its a little bit cheaper. and more likely to fit in my case
I don't think that card will work in Crossfire X. I just got it today, and have spent literally hours trying to get it to Crossfire with A8-3850. I have all drivers installed and still cannot enable the Crossfire on AMD Vision Control Center. I am pretty savvy, but cannot figure it out. Diamond doesn't even list this card on their site anymore. Think they are running from this problem, instead of tackling it!
hey my bios doesnt have those options im running a laptop and i need to undervolt and overclock. can u shed some help? i may consider attempting e the fact flashing your bios over mine, despite the fact that ill most likely render my pc useless.

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Mike Gentry
Nathaniel Rateliff makes you feel the thing called hurt so very deeply. The big man makes you feel sorrow like you've never known it to feel. He reminds you about what joy means, through his interpretations of those more somber feelings. They are the kinds of studies of the souls of men that will rattle you right down to your core. You listen to this man closely and you will - before long -- find yourself welling up, shaken and overwhelmed. You'll be okay with it, for he's reminding you of what a son of a bitch love can be and he makes you appreciate the hell out of it when it's not. He takes us to depths of ourselves, through his wondrous passion and a keen eye for the intricate intimacies that we often don't know how to handle. We often don't even know they're there. They move in our blood like ghosts and thieves, who may never strike or who may strike over and over again. They are unwritten and light.
He makes you feel things coming out from inside of you that you never, ever put there. You're amazed by them. You're shocked by them, but you still recognize them as your own, as coming from some extremely familiar space, of the same skin and bones. When he sings - when he opens it up and brings it from the guts, out of that dusty and dim basement of his - you feel yourself warming like an oven. You feel as if you can't breathe, or that you're not breathing and you could care less how it's getting done. When you listen to his song, "Nothing To Show For," - from his brilliant new album, "Falling Faster Than You Can Run" -- you find yourself wondering how love has been treating him lately. You tend to think that you'd rather not know the details because it might be too raw - rawer, more hurtful and sadder than you could ever imagine.
He sounds as if he's coming from the worst place a man can come from when he sings, "It's not peeling/It's a tear/It's distance and it's wear/It's getting under my skin/We're all broke down/We're all well-hid/We're all just kids/Despite our age/Look, you see this broken hand/It's just another limb/Well, not to me/You, don't listen you just talk/You leave me in the dark/I don't want to know." You feel fucked up. You feel like you've been told too much, but you're not the one who needs to be consoled. You would like to believe that he can still fix this, that it can turn out alright. You would like to believe that when he sings, "If I had to guess/It could only get so cold/You could sleep on a bench/But maybe you're just too old…/When it all starts to melt/You forget the ice and snow," that this is how it will go. The ice and the snow will become memories rather than bedfellows and that no one will need to be left in the flames.

$ xset s [timeout [cycle]] $ xset s default $ xset s on $ xset s blank $ xset s noblank $ xset s off $ xset s expose $ xset s noexpose $ xset s activate $ xset s reset
To see your current settings
$ xset q
... Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 600 cycle: 600 DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 600 Off: 600 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On
Turn off DPMS
$ xset -dpms
Disable screen saver blanking
$ xset s off
Disable DPMS and prevent screen from blanking
Useful when watching movies or slideshows:
$ xset -dpms; xset s off
Turn off screen immediately
If you leave your computer, you do not need to wait for the timeout you set that the display turns off. Simply enforce it by using the xset command.
$ xset dpms force off
Put screen into standby
$ xset dpms force standby
Put screen into suspend
$ xset dpms force suspend
Change Blank time from 5 min to 1 hour
$ xset s 3600 3600
xset display.sh
You could also copy this script:
#!/bin/bash # Small script to set display into standby, suspend or off mode # 20060301-Joffer case $1 in standby|suspend|off) xset dpms force $1 ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 standby|suspend|off" ;; esac
Make it executable (
chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/display.sh) and just run
display.sh off. For the latter to work you need to include
/usr/local/bin into your path.
DPMS interaction in a Linux console with setterm
The setterm utility issues terminal recognized escape codes to alter the terminal. Essentially it just writes/echos the terminal sequences to the current terminal device, whether that be in screen, a remote ssh terminal, console mode, serial consoles, etc.
setterm Syntax: (0 disables)
setterm -blank [0-60|force|poke] setterm -powersave [on|vsync|hsync|powerdown|off] setterm -powerdown [0-60]
Prevent screen from turning off
You can run this command:
$ setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0
Alternatively you can disable console blanking permanently using the following command:
# echo -ne "\033[9;0]" >> /etc/issue
Pipe the output to a cat to see the escapes
$ setterm -powerdown 2>&1 | exec cat -v 2>&1 | sed "s/\\^\\[/\\\\033/g"
Pipe the escapes to any tty (with write/append perms) to modify that terminal
$ setterm -powerdown 0 >> /dev/tty3
>> is used instead of
>. For permission issues using sudo in a script or something, you can use the tee program to append the output of setterm to the tty device, which tty's let appending sometimes but not writing.
Bash loop to set ttys 0-256
$ for i in {0..256}; do setterm -powerdown 0 >> /dev/tty$i; done; unset i;
xset DPMS settings do not work with xscreensaver
xscreensaver uses its own DPMS settings. See the settings for xscreensaver for more information.
xscreensaver DPMS
You can configure xscreensaver's DPMS settings manually by editing your
~/.xscreensaver file as below, or using the xscreensaver-demo GUI.
timeout: 1:00:00 cycle: 0:05:00 lock: False lockTimeout: 0:00:00 passwdTimeout: 0:00:30 fade: True unfade: False fadeSeconds: 0:00:03 fadeTicks: 20 dpmsEnabled: True dpmsStandby: 2:00:00 dpmsSuspend: 2:00:00 dpmsOff: 4:00:00

WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- President Trump's first State of the Union address will be remembered just as much for the ovations and clapping during the speech as much as it will its content.
Sinclair Broadcast Group counted 75 standing ovations and 39 claps during the speech.
Lots of viewers and commentators reacted to the amount of times they heard clapping during the speech on social media. They also called out President Trump for clapping into his microphone.
When Trump announced the re-opening of Guantanamo Bay prison, NBC's Chuck Todd questioned whether it was appropriate for Trump and his Republican counterparts to be applauding.
"Not sure it's a good look to be giving a standing O for keeping GITMO open," Todd said. "Is that something to celebrate? No matter your position, not sure it's something to cheer. Perhaps refer to it as a "necessary evil"? But clapping and cheering?"
PBS Newshour correspondent Yamiche Alcindor also spoke about how much Trump generally appreciates applause.
"President Trump is loving this clapping so much that is he making sure his claps are last heard before he continues his speech," Alcindor said.
During the speech, Trump also pointed at the crowd five times and was cheered for once; he was boo'ed one time. The President spoke about MS-14 four times, immigration eight times, referred to the flag and anthem two times and spoke about ISIS twice.
