Quotehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks78FCGqqakWhat does Fr What does Fr. Pavlos Stratigeas talk about in this video? What is his view on phenomenon of "Speaking in Tonguess" or "Glossolalia?
From The Illness and Cure of the Soul from the Orthodox Tradition. It is presented as a conversation of five Orthodox people in Athens Greece, one the priest, three other men and a woman with the Archimandrite over a period of weeks on his subject of what he calls "Orthodox psychotherapy" by which he meant the "therapeutic" effect of hesychasm, which he explains fully. This book is the last of four volumes of which the first three present his material in theoretic form, and this one in practical form. I will begin the quotation from p. 148: -- You have mentioned the gift (charisma) of speaking in tongues, said Constatntine. In the ancient Church this gift existed. Why has it vanished today? --Who told you that this gift has vanished? --But we do not see people today speaking "foreign languages". --The gift of speaking in tongues was not for the Christians just to speak foreign languages. That, of course, also occurred, and it was the energy of God which granted it, so that the Church could be fortified. As St. John Chrisostom explains, when the Church was srengthened and true faith was confirmed, it was no longer necesary. Miracles are mostly for those who lack in faith. For this reason holy Chrysostom teaches that the nonexistence of this gift today is a sign of the increas and firmness of faith. --Why did you say earlier "who told you that this gift has vanished?" --You did not l3t me finish. The gift of speakin foreign languages was combined with ceaseless inner prayer. The Apostle Paul says characteristically: "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above eery name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth: And that every tongue should cnfess that Jesus Cjrist is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Phil.2, 9-11). In this apostolic passage the connection of noetic prayer in the name of Crist with the phrase "every tongue" is obvious. The name of Christ, which is recited in the heart and is a sign of the energy of God within us --the sign that we have become the temple of the Most Hoy Spirit-- is a great ower which subdues every other power and, naturally, the ruler of this world --the devil. This is noetic prayer. The Apostlesknew this inner prayer. The Apostle Paul is very explicit: "be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hmns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord" (Eph.5, 18-1-). This gift has never vanished from the CHurch. This is whywe can say with certainty that those who have noetic prayer or prayer of the heart have the gift in tongues, because they speak the "language of the angels.I think the meaning here is not that tongues is noetic prayer (though I believe it is) but that noetic prayer (i.e., the Jesus Prayer) is "tongues," according to Vlachos. http://www.monachos.net/forum/showthread.php?1647-Speaking-in-tongues
We don't have many native Greek speakers here.

FAIRHAVEN — Two new police officers were hired Tuesday after brief interviews by the Board of Selectmen. The two finalists were the result of more rigorous interviews last week, selectmen said.
The new officers are Marcy Haaland and Jason Tavares. Both have experience with the Bristol County Sheriffs Office.
Mr. Tavares has worked for the sheriffs' office for the past six years. He said he has always wanted to be a police officer and that he wants to make Fairhaven "a safer community to live in."
Ms. Haaland said she has 14 years of experience in the sheriffs' office working directly with inmates. She said she looks forward to building on that experience while changing to a job that will bring her more in contact with the community.
Select Board Chairman Brian K. Bowcock said they'd interviewed six candidates for the two positions and that the process included vigorous background checks, including talking to neighbors in places where the candidates have lived.
Ms. Haaland is the wife of John Haaland, a former selectman in Fairhaven.

Laura Ellenbogen
Born: June 29, 1911
Rozwadow, Poland
Laura was one of five children born to a Jewish family in the southeastern Polish town of Rozwadow. Jews comprised almost two-thirds of the town's population. Laura's father worked as a wholesaler, providing families in the area with grain, potatoes and other produce. Laura attended one of the town's public schools.
1933-39: Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned Poland [as a result of the Nazi-Soviet Pact] in September 1939. Our town lay on the demarcation line. On September 24 the Germans reached Rozwadow, and many Poles in the town were glad to see them. Then, in early October, we were ordered out of our house; we were told that in 24 hours we had to cross the San River to the Soviet zone. Our Polish maid and her friends laughed as we took the few belongings we were allowed.
1940-44: On the eve of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, in June 1941, Soviet forces evacuated Polish Jews near the border to the Soviet interior. Summarily ordered to go and work in the east, we were shoved onto trains, packed 60 people to a car. The summer heat was agonizing since the cars had no windows. The lack of toilets intensified the stench of overcrowding. We were allowed off the train occasionally to eat a thin soup with greens. Three weeks passed before we arrived, exhausted and starving, in the Ural mountains.
Laura did forced labor at a logging camp in the Urals until she was released in 1943. She lived in Kazakhstan, Warsaw and a DP camp in Germany before immigrating to the United States in 1949.

East LA voice Ersi Arvizu - singer for El Chicano and The Sisters - has made Friend for Life, her first album since 1976, and her first-ever solo album.  Scheduled for May 6 release on Anti- Records,  'Friend for Life' was produced by Ry Cooder, and grew out of Arvizu's appearance on his critically acclaimed 2005 song cycle 'Chavez Ravine.'
Surrounded by old friends - keyboardist and cowriter Joey Navarro, guitarist Mickey Lespron (also one of the founding members of El Chicano) and her sisters Mary Rey and Rosella Barraza - "Friend for Life" is Arvizu's story strung into a dozen original songs.  Sung in English and Spanish, it's a story of survival, of  "the fight" both literally (Arvizu is also an amateur boxer her father a trainer) and metaphorically.  It's an album that Arvizu has wanted to make her entire life.
"That's the voice," says Cooder on Arvizu's artistic flowering. "And it's the best thing going. I can't tell you how rare it is. It's about where you're located emotionally."
Arvizu grew up in East LA, learning ranchera and mariarchi music from an early age and playing with her family, which gradually evolved into the appropriately named band The Sisters. The act sang for fights at the Olympic Auditorium, El Monte Legion Stadium or the Paramount Ballroom in LA, eventually opening for Ike & Tina Turner, The Righteous Brothers and Caesar
and Cleo (later known as Sonny and Cher).  They signed with the legendary Del-Fi Records - home to Richie Valens - and scored a #3 hit with their 1964 single "Gee Baby Gee."
Following her time in The Sisters, Arvizu sang in a variety of groups, before finding a home with  El Chicano. In the mid-70s, El Chicano gained a reputation as latin rock pioneers, and their songs "Sabor a Mi" and "I'm a Good Woman" became anthems of the genre.

Nielsen: 20.6 million watched inauguration
Nielsen says an estimated 20.6 million people watched President Barack Obama's second inauguration on TV, sharply down from his first.
The company, which measures television audience, says the number represents just over half of the 37.8 million people who saw Obama's first inauguration in 2009. Eighteen networks aired some part of this year's inaugural ceremony on Monday.
According to Nielsen records, this year's ceremony was the second least-watched inauguration since 1969. It beat only President George W. Bush's second ceremony in 2005, which was seen by 15.5 million.
The most-watched inauguration since 1969 was President Ronald Reagan's first oath-taking in 1981, which was seen by 41.8 million people.
NBC had the largest number of viewers among broadcast networks on Monday, with CNN the cable news leader.

Cute, but bizarre cat behavior - carries stuffed animals everywhere.
Our cat is 2.5 year old male short hair tabby mix. He is a wonderful kitty and does something funny that amuses us, but we can only speculate what it's purpose is.
WE have hand puppets that we use for wrestling him--- maybe 5-7 of them. Often times, he picks htem up and drags them around the house and when he does it, he makes this really weird yowling noise. Sometimes it wakes me up at night and creeps me out a bit lol Why is he making that crazy yowling noise and carrying these stuffed animals everywhere?
Often times he'll drop them off at his food dish. Other times, he will drop them off ont he floor near us or somewhere else. My mother speculates (and swears that the reason is) he is pretending to hunt, and wants to be rewarded with good wet food when he takes it to his food dish so he can pretend he's eating his kill.... sometimes I think he is trying to mount them and it is some weird sexual thing--- the sounds he makes sound similar to cat mating sounds of the male. The other theory is maybe he wants to wrestle the hand puppet, but he's not consistently in the mood to wrestle when he brings it to us.
Let me know your thoughts,
I vote for displaced hunting behaviour. My female semi-feral does the same thing with all of her various toys (big furry pompoms are her fave). And being a flame-point siamese, boy can she YOWL, even when her cheeks are stuffed with her "prey". Cats are hard-wired to hunt and when they aren't able to fulfill that need due to confinement indoors, the instinct can transfer into some pretty interesting behaviours.
"To close your eyes will not ease another's pain." ~ Chinese Proverb
We must not refuse to see with our eyes what they must endure with their bodies. ~ Gretchen Wyler
I too vote for misplaced hunting. Our four year old fixed male does the same thing, except he confines it to his cloth covered slinky toys shich are his favorites. He brings them and drops them somewhere near us, then goes to sleep. Occasionally he howls until we come to see them, sometimes they just get dropped on the bed near us. Personally, I much prefer stuffed toys to dead mice, so I'm not discouraging him.

missions for the military, if its '"HI-MEMS" program succeeds. Hybrid-Insect MEMS–a program hatched earlier this year at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa)–aims to harness insects the way horses were harnessed by the cavalry.
"We have used horses for locomotion in wars," according to Darpa's description by its program manager, Amit Lal. "The HI-MEMS program is aimed to develop technology that provides more control over insect locomotion, just as saddles on horseshoes are needed for horse-locomotion control."
Darpa cites that, historically, elephants have also been used for locomotion in wars, that pigeons have been used for sending covert messages, that canaries have been used to detect gases in coal mines, and that bees have been used to locate lands mines. Now it's the moths and beetles turn to report for duty, just as dogs have already done.
Three research groups at the University of Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Boyce Thompson Institute were awarded funding by Darpa earlier this year, when the HI-MEMS program kicked off, and are expected to report preliminary results during each annual review of the three-phase fundamental research-and-development program. There could be a fourth phase at the end–if the program is a success–that transitions the technology of breeding insect battalions to the military.
"Michigan is focusing on horned beetles, while MIT and Boyce Thompson are working with large moths," said Darpa spokesman Jan Walker. "The program's first major milestone is scheduled for January 2008, when the contractors have to demonstrate controlled, tethered flight of the insect."
The final milestone at the end of phase three will be flying a cyborg insect to within five meters of a specific target located some one hundred meters away using remote control or a global positioning system (GPS). If HI-MEMS passes this test successfully, then Darpa will probably begin breeding in earnest. Insect swarms with various sorts of different embedded MEMS sensors–video cameras, audio microphones, chemical sniffers and more–could then penetrate enemy territory in swarms to perform reconnaissance missions impossible or too dangerous for soldiers

AT&T No Longer Offering Unlimited Data Plan To New Customers
from the no-longer-to-infinity-and-beyond dept
AT&T's motive behind this switch (beyond the obvious of boosting profits) is to attempt to address the network capacity issues that it has been experiencing, of late. As anyone on AT&T can attest, performance of the AT&T data network is far from stellar. The adoption of smartphones like the iPhone have made the internet a truly useful part of the mobile experience, and as such, data use on the AT&T network has risen dramatically as a result. Clearly, AT&T was not able to properly plan to handle the increased demand on its network, and as a result, is claiming it needed to respond by throttling the usage. Of course, one might argue an alternative would be to invest more in capacity, but that gets in the way of that boosting profits thing.
Amusingly (but not surprisingly), AT&T is trying to play this whole thing up as a big benefit to consumers:
"Some customers, up until now, have been hesitant to sign up for a $30 monthly data plan" for unlimited access, says Ralph de la VegaFair enough, but just because some people have been hesitant to sign up for the unlimited data plan doesn't mean you should do away with it altogether.
That said, there are actually a few things that AT&T has done right with this announcement. It's surprising that they are actually offering a cheaper tier for limited data -- something that they had not offered before. Also, with the limited plans, they have introduced a system of alerts that will notify users when they are near their caps. And, existing users with unlimited plans can continue as long as they want, without the tethering option, of course.
Even so, throttling usage could put a damper on the explosive growth of smartphone usage that we have seen in the past few years. There is an added cognitive transaction cost whenever a limit exists, so, by introducing these limits, AT&T has effectively made the iPhone less appealing. Recently, when asked about AT&T's capacity issues, Steve Jobs said "things, when you start to fix them, get worse before they get better. That's what I'm told. And if you believe that, things should start getting a lot better soon." It sounds like Jobs knew what was coming.

8 mm (.323) 175 gr. SPT
All modern 8mm rifles, including all German military arms manufactured since 1905, use .323 inch diameter bullets. However, German military rifles manufactured between 1888 and 1905 used a .318 inch diameter bullet. Many of those rifles were rebarreled to .323 inch bores after 1905, but some rifles of the smaller bore size were brought back from WWI and WWII and still exist. Some German sporting guns, particularly combination guns made until 1938, used 8mm cartridges with .318 inch diameter bullets. Sometimes, a .323 inch diameter bullet can be loaded and fired in a cartridge intended for a .318 inch groove diameter, but dangerously high chamber pressures result. If you do not know that your bore size is .323 inch, slug your barrel before loading .323 inch diameter bullets. There are two Pro-Hunter bullets in .323 inch caliber in Sierra's line and both are the Spitzer type.
These 8mm hunting bullets provide exceptional accuracy together with deep penetration and reliable expansion on medium and heavier game. The 175 grain #2410 gives the 8x57mm shooter an excellent big game bullet and is suitable for 8mm magnum cartridges.

|Loaded these with 80 grains of IMR 4831 and had three three shot groups average .425" at a 100 yards from a bipod. Gun is a 1982 Remington Model 700 BDL with a magna port muzzle break. Cant ask for better accuracy. Bullets went 16" into the burm behind the target. With the accuracy and penetration of these bullets i dont see the need to go bigger for anything that isnt going to try and eat me.

TEXAS LEGISLATURE UPDATE: Nurse Assault Bill passes Senate
AUSTIN - The Texas Senate today took an important step to protect nurses and address nursing shortages by passing legislation to increase safety for health care workers in Texas hospitals' emergency rooms. The bill will be sent to Gov. Rick Perry for approval.
House Bill 705, authored by Rep. Donna Howard (D - Austin) and sponsored by Sen. Charles Schwertner (R - Georgetown), passed unanimously and extends protection to nurses and other health care workers who provide care in emergency departments by enhancing penalties for assaults committed during the delivery of care. For assaults committed against emergency services personnel who are in the course of providing emergency services, current law enhances the penalty from a Class A misdemeanor to a third degree felony. However, assaults committed against emergency room personnel currently do not qualify for the penalty enhancement.
Despite increased security measures in Texas hospitals, violence against health care workers continues to climb. Emergency room personnel are often exposed to dangerous or violent patients. Extending these protections to nurses ensures an added level of safety, potentially affecting nurse staff shortages.
"This legislation improves the working environment in emergency departments and positively addresses nursing shortages at Texas hospitals by reducing nurse exposure to patients who might otherwise pose dangerous behavior," said Dan Stultz, M.D., FACP, FACHE, THA president/ chief executive officer. "Emergency care providers should all be treated with the same protection of the law, whether in a patrol vehicle, ambulance or within the walls of an emergency department."
The Texas Hospital Association supports HB 705, emphasizing the danger that many health care professionals face on a daily basis. HB 705 is the result of THA's work with Rep. Howard, Sen. Schwertner, the Texas Nurses Association, the Texas Emergency Room Nurses Association and the Texas Organization of Nurse Executives.

Jury begins hearing Ventura's defamation case
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Jesse Ventura brought his defamation lawsuit before home-state jurors Tuesday in a bid to punish the estate of late "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle, who bragged in an autobiography that he decked the former Minnesota governor during a barroom scrap almost a decade ago.
In opening statements in federal court, Ventura attorney David Bradley Olsen said the punch never happened and that Ventura never made disparaging comments about servicemen, as Kyle claimed.
"Jesse Ventura will testify there was no incident, there was no altercation and that Kyle made the whole story up," Olsen said.
Kyle estate attorney John Borger countered that the jury would get the real story from Kyle via testimony videotaped before his death.
"You will hear Chris Kyle testify he was absolutely sure that what he wrote about Jesse Ventura's behavior was true," Borger said. Both sides said they would produce witnesses to back their version of events.
Ventura, a former Navy SEAL and wrestler who was Minnesota governor from 1999-2003, alleges Kyle defamed him in his best-selling book. Ventura pursued the claim even after Kyle was killed last year at a Texas gun range, saying it was important to clear his name.
In a three-page subchapter of his book, Kyle — also a former SEAL and regarded as the deadliest sniper in U.S. military history — describes a 2006 bar fight in Coronado, California, in which he said he punched a man knocking him to the ground. Kyle identified the man in the autobiography only as "Scruff Face" but whom he later said was Ventura. Kyle claimed Ventura was speaking loudly against President George W. Bush, the Iraq War and Navy SEAL tactics. Kyle claimed Ventura said the SEALS "deserve to lose a few."
Kyle has said he took offense because he was at the bar for the wake of a fallen SEAL. Ventura was there with friends because he planned to attend a SEAL graduation ceremony the next day. Olson told the jury they'll hear testimony that Ventura wasn't drunk because he doesn't drink alcohol, but that many people in Kyle's group were drinking very heavily, raising questions about the reliability of their testimony.
The first witness was Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, who testified that he left Ventura's name out of his book because the point wasn't to call anyone out. She acknowledged she'd heard some concerns as he was writing the book that naming Ventura would risk a libel lawsuit, but she said she didn't recall who raised them.
Olson used her testimony mostly as an opportunity to play radio and TV interviews that Chris Kyle gave shortly after the book's release in 2012 in which he disclosed that "Scruff Face" was Ventura, as well as a recorded conversation with one of his co-authors as they wrote the book.
"I hate him with a passion," Kyle told co-author Jim DeFelice about Ventura.
Some interviewers who accepted Kyle's version of events slammed Ventura in blistering terms. Glenn Beck called Ventura "a dirtbag" in an Internet interview on The Blaze.
Ventura, who has hosted several cable TV shows since his single term as Minnesota's governor ended in 2002, has said his job offers dried up after the book was published and he was worried about being seen as a traitor to the military.
Ventura, who often had a contentious relationship with the Minnesota media, declined to speak to reporters about the case. He watched Tuesday's proceedings with a serious look on his face most of the time, occasionally cracking a smile while speaking with his attorneys.
Legal experts have said Ventura has to prove that Kyle made up the story and profited from it, or at least acted with reckless disregard for the truth, and that Ventura's reputation was hurt as a result.
Significant money is at stake. Kyle's book has made more than $3 million in royalties and the judge in the case has ruled that profits from an upcoming movie could be subject to damages, too.

Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC 4GB Graphics Card Review
Overclocked and 4GB Strong
Even though the Kepler GK104 GPU is now matured in the market, there is still a ton of life left in this not-so-small chip and Galaxy sent us a new graphics card to demonstrate just that. The Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC 4GB card that we are reviewing today takes the GTX 670 GPU (originally released and reviewed on May 10th) and juices it up on two different fronts: clock rates and memory capacity.
The Galaxy GTX 670 GC 4GB graphics card is based on GK104 as mentioned below and meets most of the same specifications as the reference GTX 670. That includes 1344 CUDA cores or stream processors, 112 texture units and 32 ROP units along with a 256-bit GDDR5 memory bus.
The GC title indicates that the Galaxy GTX 670 GC 4GB is overclocked as well - this card runs at 1006 MHz base clock, 1085 MHz Boost clock and 1500 MHz memory clock. Compared to the defaults of 915 MHz, 980 MHz and 1500 MHz (respectively) this Galaxy model gets a 10% increase in clock speed though we'll see how much that translates into gaming performance as we go through our review.
Of course, also in the title of the review, the Galaxy GTX 670 GC includes 4GB of frame buffer, twice as much as the reference cards. The goal is obviously to attract gamers with high resolution screens (2560x1600 or 2560x1440) as well as users interested in triple panel NVIDIA Surround gaming. We test both of those resolutions in our game collection on the following pages to see just how that works out.
Continue reading our review of the Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC 4GB graphics card!
In the first image above you can see that the Galaxy card is not using the reference cooler and instead using a custom solution much like Galaxy has done in the past. The dual-fan solution is both effective and quiet - it came in under the reference design in our sound testing.
The cooler has another nice feature - the GTX 600 series label here in the back pulse a steady blue glow off and on while powered on. It wasn't annoying at all in our open test bed and instead turned out to be a pretty cool addition.
Another change for the GC 4GB model from Galaxy is the move from a dual 6-pin power connection to a single 6-pin and a single 8-pin. With the higher clock speeds and additional memory on-board, this puts the power consumption levels much closer to the GTX 680 so this change provides a more stable experience.
The GTX 670 of course supports 2-Way and 3-Way SLI configurations should you want even more gaming power.
The new PCB design is not only longer (compared to the reference cards we received back in May) but integrates some new additions like the openings bordering the MOSFETs. This allows for air to flow out the back of the card as well and help keep the power management devices cool.
The output configuration includes a pair of DVI connections, a full-size HDMI port and full-size DisplayPort connection. I continue to believe this is the best mix as in our multi-display testing we have had much less conflict than AMD's implementation that only includes a single DVI connection.
Our reviews are based around the following system:
- Intel Core i7-3960X CPU
- ASUS P9X79 Pro motherboard
- Corsair DDR3-1600 4 x 4GB Vengeance memory
- 600GB Western Digital VelociRaptor HDD
- 1200 watt Corsair Professional Series power supply
- Windows 7 SP1 x64
The ASUS P9X79 Pro
The Intel Core i7-3960X gives us the fastest consumer-level CPU on the market to help eliminate the possibility of any processor-based bottlenecks in our testing (whenever possible). There are still going to be some games that could use more speed (Skyrim comes to mind) but for our purposes this is as good as you get without getting into any kind of overclocked settings. The ASUS P9X79 Pro motherboard has enough space for three dual-slot graphics cards when the time comes for testing 3-Way SLI and CrossFire and 8 DIMM slots should we want to go up from our current setup of 16GB of Corsair Vengeance memory.
I chose to stick with the 600GB VelociRaptor hard drive rather than an SSD as our total installation size with Windows 7 SP1 x64 and 6+ games was already hitting the 115GB range. Finally the 1200 watt power supply from Corsair offers up more than enough juice for three power hungry graphics cards while running quietly enough to not throw off our noise testing drastically.
Speaking of noise, for this article we are re-introducing our sound level testing thanks to the Extech 407738 Sound Level Meter capable of monitor decibel ratings as low as 20db. This allows me to accurately tell you the noise levels generated by the graphics cards that make in-house at PC Perspective.
Along with the new hardware configuration comes a host of new games. For this review we will be using the following benchmarks and games for performance evaluation:
- Battlefield 3
- Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- DiRT 3
- Batman: Arkham City
- Metro 2033
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution
- 3DMark11
- Unigine Heaven v2.5
This collection of games is both current and takes into account several different genres as well - first person role playing, third person action, racing, first person shooting, etc. 3DMark11 and Unigine Heaven give us a way to see how the cards stack up in a more synthetic environment while the real-world gameplay testing provided by the six games completes the performance picture.
This review is going to focus two resolutions: 2560x1600 and 5760x1080. In my view only resolution this high will see benefit from the 4GB buffer and thus only gamers with similar setups should worry about paying the extra money for this model.
- Galaxy GeForce GTX 670 GC 4GB - $469
- GeForce GTX 670 2GB - $399
- GeForce GTX 680 2GB - $499
- Radeon HD 7950 3GB - $349
The comparisons you should be paying particular attention to:
2560x1600 - How much faster is the Galaxy GTX 670 GC 4GB compared to the reference GTX 670 and can it keep up with the GTX 680 at all?
- 5760x1080 - Does the overclocked clock speeds and additional memory give the GTX 670 GC 4GB from Galaxy the ability to match the perf of the GTX 680 at a lower cost? How does it stack up against the GTX 590 and HD 6990?
Now, with that out of the way, let's get on with the results and see how the Galaxy GTX 670 GC 4GB card performs!
Great review. What a cool card.
I'm glad you guys did a review on one of these custom cards with the extra VRAM. I'm very interested in the improvements of custom cards vs reference cards.
Clearly there are some advantages.
Just want to comment on the use of VRAM at 1080P. While i don't disagree with you.
I would just like to point out that extra VRAM does come in handy when modding textures and stuff in games, specifically in Bethesda games. I like many others like to install custom textures for Fallout and Skyrim, because the default ones just aren't very impressive anymore. Also because if you have a high end card you have tons of extra headroom horsepower wise. Anyway i have tons of texture mods for Skyrim and Fallout that can end up using literally all of my VRAM on my 6970 at 1080P in many areas.
Very nice review.
I've been looking forward to seeing how this card stacks up against its similar competition for using NVSurround. Looks like a GTX 670 GC 4GB is the card to have. I too am looking to use this to texture ME1-3 as well as the monster known as GTAIV and Dragon Age.
Will there ever be a review of these in SLI?
Can this one card be used to drive an HD TV, and 3 monitors in or out of eyefinity? I want to display a TV on on screen and have 3 monitor computing, not hardcore gaming but along those lines. I don't play many games, but I'm looking for a card that can do this. I currently run 3 heads off of a 6950/70 and run the TV off the z68 gigabyte iSSD mobo. THe current setup works, but I'm looking to upgrade...
yes it can run a TV and 3 monitors. You just have to use the correct outputs for each display.
I have "ASUS Crosshair II Formula" motherboard. I bought two "Galaxy GTX 670 Gc 4Gb"for SLi. I put them in PCI slots, but they don't work. I flash the CMOS of motherboard, nothig. The computer stay with this image: " NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 VGA Bios V 4293 Version 80.04.31.00.3F Copyright (C) 1996- 2012 Nvidia COrp." What is this? I also have a new motherboard "ASUS Crosshair V FormulA-Z" which I have not installed it yet. What should I do? You have any idea what might be? Thank you.
reset up your computer with one card
update software enable sli mode in the gpu software then add second card
will this work with my computer its a hp and it has a core i7, windows 7 premium, intel family graphics card it think sorry i dont know much about computer spec and what able to run on it and other things like that
Yes, one of the cards should fit your motherboard. You will most likely have to use the molex adapters that come with the card to properly power it.
Thank you very much for the info
Unless the psu is from a name brand like enrmax/ozc/antec/thermaltake/beQuiet etc., i would not risk destroying hardware to save a couple of bucks. A psu is the most important part in your system and the more stable the power source is, the better.
I would look at one from corsair (or any monorail/1x 12v rail).
very silent and stable psu with alot of power would be the builder series 600/700w or the TX650. Doesnt need to be modular...
Needs to have at least 35A on the 12v rail incase u wanna look for a different brand..

This press release from the Gil Cedillo campaign touts his endorsements from the mayors of both Baldwin Park and Irwindale. This after the Cedillo campaign dissed endorsements.
Here's the gist:
El Monte, CA – Baldwin Park Mayor Manuel Lozano and Irwindale Mayor Larry Burrola have retracted their duel endorsements in the race for California's 32nd Congressional District to throw their full support behind Senator Gil Cedillo
"The race to succeed Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis is too important
not to make a clear choice. After weighting the field of candidates
carefully, I have decided to pull my endorsement from Board of Equalization member
Judy Chu and throw my full weight behind State Senator Gil Cedillo," said
Mayor Burrola. "He is clearly the most qualified candidate to represent the
working and middle class families of the San Gabriel Valley."
"Senator Gil Cedillo's is one of California's top crime fighters and
a key advocate in the Legislature for improving our schools," said Mayor
Lozano. "In Congress, Gil Cedillo will be a voice for the issues that matter most
to Baldwin Park and I am proud to endorse him"

The Prince of Wales has spent some quality farmer-to-farmer time with a Tasmanian family at their sheep stud near Hobart.
Prince Charles stood deep in conversation with sheep farmer Brent Thornbury inspecting a flock at the Leenavale stud at Sorell, before heading to the shearing sheds to demonstrate his prowess in throwing a fleece.
The prince stood in a pen and asked the assembled media to move so the sheep wouldn't get scared, and he didn't flinch as sheepdog Zip bounded on and off their backs.
Charles made the visit in his role as patron of the Campaign For Wool, an initiative aimed at boosting wool prices among the British Commonwealth's producers.
Mr Thornbury, a fourth-generation woolgrower on the property, said the prince's knowledge was impressive.
"He was very laid back and interested in what we do," he said.
The prince wore a specially chosen woollen suit for the occasion and later in the day, highlighted his campaign in a brief speech at a reception hosted by Premier Lara Giddings.
"One of the things I wanted to try and highlight today was the importance of wool as a natural fibre, and to remind people of its importance and the importance of the growers and indeed of wool to the whole economy here in Australia," he said.
The CEO of Australian Wool Innovation, Stuart McCullough, said the prince's campaign, launched two years ago, was making a difference after the global financial crisis (GFC).
"It's a big deal," Mr McCullough said.
"We think that imagery will go internationally and again serves to profile wool."
Charles' visit to Leenavale came amid a busy five-hour stopover in the island state with his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The couple began with a stroll through the convict-built town of Richmond, 20 kilometres east of Hobart, where thousands lined the streets in the best weather of the day.
By the time they reached Hobart's Salamanca Place the rain had set in, forcing the duchess indoors, but the prince braved the weather to the delight of the hundreds of hardy souls who'd turned out.
At the reception, on the Hobart waterfront, the prince apologised for his rushed visit.
On learning he shared a birthday with Ms Giddings, who turns 40 next week, he quipped: "It just shows that you can't do without Scorpios."

"These pages have been written to explain a quaint aspect of French musical life under the reign of Louis XV. The hurdy-gurdy (Vielle à roue), which so far had been customarily an instrument used by beggars playing on streets corners (lira mendicorum), unexpectedly became the object of a sudden and powerful enthusiasm. From 1725 to 1765, with more than two hundred published pieces of music, it invaded the world of aristocracy and even conquered the royal family. In this study, we are making an attempt to understand the reasons for that sudden and ephemeral passion.
Our thesis is that the hurdy-gurdy became an instrument destined to serve the myth of Arcadia, commonly believed in during that period of time, by representing the image of the idealized countryman, a central character of the eighteenth century, with whom "personnes de qualité" tried to identify themselves. In order to remove and purify it from any memory of its association with beggars and to make it become the Lyre of Apollo, the manufacture, the playing, the repertory of the hurdy-gurdy had to be completely transformed. The challenge was also to promote an idealized country life so as to make the hurdy-gurdy an instrument worthy to enter the Pantheon of the noble instruments of the aristocrats. As to the repertory, is it possible to say that the hurdy-gurdy is suitable for any high-level music score? Or rather should we say that it could serve only the country repertory, which is then to be defined as music of a rustic and popular style, even though completely transformed by the highly technical task of adjusting music to the baroque taste, which we call "Baroquisation"
Let us add that we worked within the interdisciplinary framework not only of Musicology (by the study of performance techniques and repertory analysis), but also of Psychoanalysis, Mythology and sociology. .."

"The Centro Studi Opera omnia Luigi Boccherini (Onlus) of Lucca was established in November 2005 to carry out the editorial work relating to the complete works of the lucchese composer Luigi Boccherini. The choice of Lucca as a location is not by chance: Luigi Boccherini was born in Lucca, so it is the natural site on which to launch the Italian National Edition of Luigi Boccherini's Complete Works. The Centro Studi also hosts the work of the Italian National Edition of the Opera omnia of Pietro Antonio Locatelli and the musicological series Speculum Musicae, Studies on Italian Music History and Monumenta Musica Europea. Furthermore, the staff of the Centro Studi carry out the scientific and editorial work of numerous international musicological publications, including Boccherini Studies, offering the definitive record of international scholarly debate on the composer, and, together with other musicologists, the journal Ad Parnassum. A Journal of Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Instrumental Music, and the series Ad Parnassum Studies. The Centro Studi Opera Omnia Luigi Boccherini organizes International Conferences and Symposia on various musicological topics and has founded the Boccherini Festival.

"The Giorgio Cini Foundation is a non-profit cultural institution based in Venice, Italy. It was constituted by Vittorio Cini, in memory of his son Giorgio, with the aim of restoring the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore (devastated after 100 years of military occupation) and of creating an international cultural centre that would re-integrate the Island into the life of Venice.
«The Giorgio Cini Foundation's mission is to promote the redevelopment of the monumental complex on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore and encourage the creation and development of educational, social, cultural and artistic institutions in its surrounding territory.»
The creation of the Foundation was one of the most considerable private initiatives of the 20th century. The importance of this undertaking was borne out by the initial investment committed to rehabilitate the Island and by the many events the Foundation has promoted or hosted since. It is further substanstiated by the cultural patrimony conserved on the Island and, since 1984, at the Gallery of Palazzo Cini at San Vio.
Alongside the Foundation's commitment to its own research and the conferences and seminars growing out of this work, the Island welcomes events sponsored by distinguished cultural and scientific organisations. It has even been the site of major international summits (inprimis the G7 in 1980 and 1987).
The role of the Giorgio Cini Foundation is attested by the many highly esteemed intellectuals, artists, politicians and economists who have been involved in its programme, and by the recollections of scholars and guests who have spent time on the Island."

"Located in a hilltop medieval village in southern Tuscany, the Piccola Accademia di Montisi has been founded to provide a center of inspiration for musicians worldwide who have an interest in the harpsichord, its repertoire and its history.
The staff and trustees of the Piccola Accademia bring together significant experience in music, the broader arts, government, charitable foundation governance and business. We see our role as providing a platform from which teachers, students, performers and audiences can build an academy in Plato's sense of that word, meaning a place for developing and exchanging an advanced philosophy—which in our case is the philosophy of historic musical performance. We will ensure that resources are gathered and managed appropriately, balancing the economic health and stewardship of the Piccola Accademia with providing access to the broader musical and local community."

"At first sight La Folia already looks like an interesting building constructed quietly in the course of centuries on the foundations of earlier settlements. It's a great experience to see that the development of the numerous fascinating elements and delicate details is consuming composers, performers and listeners alike as an anchor in musical thought, like a cathedral built during centuries.
For those people who are interested in the folia theme there is a disturbing lack of good sources. The information available is very superficial and can only be found in very general reference works and review articles, apart from the scientifical study by Richard Hudson (see literature) which is only available at specialized conservatories and where the focus is on the transition of the early to the later folia. This website is an effort to collect as much relevant information as possible on la folia. Every contribution, be it a new line of approach, a suggestion or a discussion will be welcomed. Added to that it is almost impossible for one person to check all musical new releases for possible new variations of la folia.
This website was built in the hope that from every part of the world new discoveries will get their names here in the inventory, so that they will be part of a collective musical tradition and awareness.
Finally it serves as a tribute to the still growing organism called La Folia. ... " Visit website for more information. (ed.)

"A strong interest in early music, paralleled with a steadily growing contemporary repertoire, has given the recorder a completely different dimension over the last 50 years. The international image of both styles, in combination with a real professionalism in pedagogical fields, have challenged aspiring recorder players ever since. This period of development has seen the recorder (blockflute) programmed as a solo and chamber instrument in specialized contemporary festivals all over the world. It is a recognized and appealing instrument for composers of all styles, not only because of the wide range of instrument-types, but mainly because of the great abilities and flexibility of the professional player.
Insight into this enormous variety of literature, supported by solid and profound background information, and above all, a highly professional instrumental education, is what the so-called BLOK system offers to serious and motivated recorder students. Besides further digging into historical and traditional subjects, a thorough exploration of contemporary literature and techniques is of major importance.
The BLOK (block) was founded in the 70's by Walter van Hauwe and Kees Boeke and has become a conception for numerous recorder players around the world. From the very beginning the BLOK attracted students from all over the world and it typically contains about 10 nationalities every year. Having studied in Amsterdam seems for many students to be a guarantee for becoming recognized professionals, and many of them have since managed a good and satisfying living as professional and successful recorder players."

Man, "Terra Nova" was all over the place this week. Last week's episode, and the aftermath, were reminiscent of a misleading second date: You think things are worthwhile, taking a turn for the better, only to be reminded there's a reason you're single come date three: The person sitting next to you (or show airing in front of you) just clearly does not have their crap together.
A lot of things were thrown at the wall this week in "Terra Nova," and only a few stuck. So let's get to the plot points that will actually someday matter. Several weeks ago, Boylan and Sixer-Leader Mira had Josh make a promise: In exchange for bringing his girlfriend back from the future (complete with hover boards and self-lacing sneakers, one can only hope), they would ask Josh to do something. Anything. At any time. And he would have to do it.
That "something" is petty theft: Josh has to steal medicine from his mother, Elisabeth, for use by the Sixers -- a humanitarian effort with malicious undertones. Stealing from the infirmary is tantamount to inviting banishment from the settlement (and we've seen how well that goes for others, evidenced further in this episode). But despite Josh's trepidation, and despite a warning from Skye (which was probably not entirely selfish), one Princess Leia-esque hologram visit from his girlfriend later, he decides to steal.
Now, Josh eventually comes clean to his parents about his trespass, and they respond with all appropriate horror, but Jim and Elisabeth are far from winning the Parents-of-the-Prehistoric-Year-Award this episode, which I'll elaborate on later. Whether or not their reaction affects the deal he's made with the Sixers has yet to be seen, but it's clueing in the settlement that all is not well in Terra Nova.
As if they needed another reminder – Jim and Taylor are slowly getting closer to finding out the Sixers' mole in Terra Nova, and even within the walls of the settlement, things are fraying. There's been talk from the show's creators that things start to get even dicier with the arrival of the 11th Pilgrimage – the same incoming group of settlers that's supposed to include Josh's girlfriend. Next week's previews give indication that the alliance between Jim and Taylor's wearing thin. Honestly, this week was a hodge-podge of storylines (and only one dinosaur!), so I'm just going to cut to some summary points.
The story that bore the most resemblance to a plot: Nerd-girl Maddy is elated when she take on an internship with a scientist she's hero-worshipped since she was a child, a man named Horton (who doesn't hear Who's, much to mine and Dr. Seuss' chagrin) who's responsible for helping Terra Nova establish a pretty righteous apple orchard. But Horton may not be who he says he is, and Maddy's catching on (crappy parenting alert I mentioned before: Elisabeth basically ignores Maddy when she shares her concerns). Some further research reveals the sham-scientist is actually the perpetrator of some high-tech and brutal identity theft, and as "Horton" catches on, he comes darnn close to stabbing Maddy to death with his walking cane. Jim intervenes, thanks to some ridiculous "panic words" Maddy relays to him via Zoe, so maybe he is still in the running for that parenting award. Whatever. The panic phrase involved asparagus, so I'm immediately uninterested.
Side note: I love how Maddy talks to Zoe like she's a peer, and not a little sister. As one who inexplicably became best friends with a younger sibling, and as one who has to interact with kids on a regular basis, I can relate to Maddy in this regard. Kids are often smarter than adults, and I love the sibling dynamic between the two of them.
Adorable Zoe moment of the night: The child is convinced Horton's a vampire. I mean, come on, that's cute. "Twilight" notwithstanding.
Profound statement of the night, or "Why has no one asked this question before?": An infuriated Josh yelling at his parents, demanding to know why no one can communicate with 2149 (other than the Sixers). Certainly would solve a lot a problems, wouldn't it?
