SLI Testing
Let's see if I can start this story without sounding too much like a broken record when compared to the news post I wrote late last week on the subject of NVIDIA's new 337.50 driver. In March, while attending the Game Developer's Conference to learn about the upcoming DirectX 12 API, I sat down with NVIDIA to talk about changes coming to its graphics driver that would affect current users with shipping DX9, DX10 and DX11 games.
As I wrote then:
What NVIDIA did want to focus on with us was the significant improvements that have been made on the efficiency and performance of DirectX 11. When NVIDIA is questioned as to why they didn't create their Mantle-like API if Microsoft was dragging its feet, they point to the vast improvements possible and made with existing APIs like DX11 and OpenGL. The idea is that rather than spend resources on creating a completely new API that needs to be integrated in a totally unique engine port (see Frostbite, CryEngine, etc.) NVIDIA has instead improved the performance, scaling, and predictability of DirectX 11.
NVIDIA claims that these fixes are not game specific and will improve performance and efficiency for a lot of GeForce users. Even if that is the case, we will only really see these improvements surface in titles that have addressable CPU limits or very low end hardware, similar to how Mantle works today.
In truth, this is something that both NVIDIA and AMD have likely been doing all along but NVIDIA has renewed purpose with the pressure that AMD's Mantle has placed on them, at least from a marketing and PR point of view. It turns out that the driver that starts to implement all of these efficiency changes is the recent 337.50 release and on Friday I wrote up a short story that tested a particularly good example of the performance changes, Total War: Rome II, with a promise to follow up this week with additional hardware and games. (As it turns out, results from Rome II are...an interesting story. More on that on the next page.)
Today I will be looking at seemingly random collection of gaming titles, running on some reconfigured test bed we had in the office in an attempt to get some idea of the overall robustness of the 337.50 driver and its advantages over the 335.23 release that came before it. Does NVIDIA have solid ground to stand on when it comes to the capabilities of current APIs over what AMD is offering today?

Competition is a Great Thing
While doing some testing with the AMD Athlon 5350 Kabini APU to determine it's flexibility as a low cost gaming platform, we decided to run a handful of tests to measure something else that is getting a lot of attention right now: AMD Mantle and NVIDIA's 337.50 driver.
Earlier this week I posted a story that looked at performance scaling of NVIDIA's new 337.50 beta driver compared to the previous 335.23 WHQL. The goal was to assess the DX11 efficiency improvements that the company stated it had been working on and implemented into this latest beta driver offering. In the end, we found some instances where games scaled by as much as 35% and 26% but other cases where there was little to no gain with the new driver. We looked at both single GPU and multi-GPU scenarios on mostly high end CPU hardware though.
Earlier in April I posted an article looking at Mantle, AMD's answer to a lower level API that is unique to its ecosystem, and how it scaled on various pieces of hardware on Battlefield 4. This was the first major game to implement Mantle and it remains the biggest name in the field. While we definitely saw some improvements in gaming experiences with Mantle there was work to be done when it comes to multi-GPU scaling and frame pacing.
Both parties in this debate were showing promise but obviously both were far from perfect.
While we were benchmarking the new AMD Athlon 5350 Kabini based APU, an incredibly low cost processor that Josh reviewed in April, it made sense to test out both Mantle and NVIDIA's 337.50 driver in an interesting side by side.

Tagged: microsoft, win 8.1, win 8.1 update
The end of support for XP is an annoying but sensible move on Microsoft's part however today's announcement that Windows 8.1 EoL is the Patch Tuesday in May is anything but sensible. The announcement states that no more updates for Win 8.1 will be released, if a customer wants to receive updates they must still be running Win 8 or upgrade to Win 8.1 Update 1. The continued support for Win 8 machines seems rather odd and is perhaps intended to mollify corporate users who have not had the 8.1 patch pushed out as Microsoft has removed Win 8.1 Update 1 from their WSUS servers over a week ago making it impossible for corporations to properly upgrade their users to Update 1. For those who bought a device recently this deadline does not give them much time to apply Update 1, especially when you consider the amount of critical errors installing Update 1 is causing. Catch the vitriol over at Slashdot and think back to the good old days when all you had to keep track of were the various flavours of Win7.
"Microsoft TechNet blog makes clear that Windows 8.1 will not be patched, and that users must get Windows 8.1 Update if they want security patches, InfoWorld's Woody Leonhard reports. 'In what is surely the most customer-antagonistic move of the new Windows regime, Steve Thomas at Microsoft posted a TechNet article on Saturday stating categorically that Microsoft will no longer issue security patches for Windows 8.1, starting in May,' Leonhard writes. 'Never mind that Windows 8.1 customers are still having multiple problems with errors when trying to install the Update."

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Released.
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Mobile | April 18, 2014 - 02:39 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: canonical, ubuntu, ubuntu 14.04
Ubuntu, the popular Linux distribution, has been on a steady six-month release schedule for eight years. Every four versions, that is, once every two years, one is marked as Long Term Support (LTS). While typical (non-LTS) releases are supported for around 9 months, LTS versions are provided with five years of updates. Of course, each version, LTS or not, is free. The choice to stay on a specific branch is something else entirely.
For most home users, it will probably make sense to pick up the latest version available on your update manager. Of course, each new release will change things and that can be a problem for some users. That said, given that releases come in six-month intervals, it does make sense to keep up with the changes as they happen, rather than fall behind and have a real shock in five years. Enterprise customers, on the other hand, would love to adopt an operating system which never changes, outside of security updates. Windows XP is a recent example of where enterprise customers will actually pay to not upgrade. These customers will benefit most from LTS.
First and foremost, Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, wants to catch the wave of PC users who are looking to upgrade from Windows XP and Windows 7. It is free, it has a web browser and an office suite, it is stable and secure, and they suggest that it will be easy to deploy and manage for governments and other institutions.
The interface is Unity7, although users will have the option to try Unity8. The latter version is Canonical's attempt to cover all form factors: phones, tablets, TVs, and desktops.
They probably could have chosen a different number, if only for the jokes.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is available now at their website. It is free. If you want it, go get it unless you already have it.
AM1 Walks New Ground
After Josh's initial review of the AMD AM1 Platform and the Athlon 5350, we received a few requests to look at gaming performance with a discrete GPU installed. Even though this platform isn't being aimed at gamers looking to play demanding titles, we started to investigate this setup anyway.
While Josh liked the ASUS AM1I-A Mini ITX motherboard he used in his review, with only a x1 PCI-E slot it would be less than ideal for this situation.
Luckily we had the Gigabyte AM1M-S2H Micro ATX motherboard, which features a full length PCI-E x16 slot, as well as 2 x1 slots.
Don't be mistaken by the shape of the slot though, the AM1 chipset still only offers 4 lanes of PCI-Express 2.0. This, of course, means that the graphics card will not be running at full bandwidth. However, having the physical x16 slot makes it a lot easier to physically connect a discrete GPU, without having to worry about those ribbon cables that miners use.

Testing Kabini on Linux

An easy way to trim the cost of a lower end system is to skip Windows and install Linux, along with picking a less expensive AMD chip to power your system. AMD has recently gifted us with new Kabini based Sempron and Athlon chips, the most expensive of which is available for less that $70. For testing Phoronix used Ubuntu 14.04, the 3.14 kernel and Mesa 10.2 along with the Radeon 7.3.99 driver. You will be glad to know that there were no compatibility problems with Linux whatsoever, all CPUs performed more or less as expected as you can see for yourself in the full review.
"It's been a busy past few days since AMD launched their "AM1" Socketed Kabini APUs. After the initial Athlon 5350 Linux review on launch-day, I did some tests involving a faster kernel and newer Mesa code along with some reference DDR3 memory scaling benchmarks for these APUs with Jaguar processor cores. Since then the Athlon 5150 and Sempron 3850/2650 APUs arrived."

Refreshed Intel Haswell Processors Coming Next Month For Desktop and Mobile
Subject: Processors | April 15, 2014 - 12:09 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: z97, Intel, i7-4790, haswell refresh, haswell, h97
Intel is releasing a refreshed lineup of processors based on its latest generation "Haswell" micro-architecture. The new lineup is comprised of 27 new desktop processors and 17 new mobile CPUs (44 in total). The new chips will displace the existing Haswell processors at their existing price points with small clockspeed increases.
On the desktop side of things, the Haswell Refresh lineup includes four new Core i7, ten Core i5, five Core i3, five Pentium, and three Celeron processors. The new chips come in both standard and (multiple) lower-TDP variants. At the top end, Intel is introducing a new non-K part called the Intel Core i7 4790 which is a quad core (eight thread) processor clocked at 3.6 GHz with 8MB of L3 cache. The new CPU also comes in 65W i7-4790S (3.2 GHz) and 45W i7-4790T (2.7 GHz). The new desktop parts range in tray price from $45 to $303.
Additionally, Intel is updating its mobile lineup by introducing 17 new chips. The refreshed lineup includes six Core i7s, four Core i5s, five Core i3s, one Pentium, and one Celeron CPU. The mobile parts range in tray price from $75 to $434. Like the desktop range, the mobile chips come in multiple low power TDP SKUs. Five of the new chips are quad cores while the rest are dual cores.
Intel's new refreshed Haswell processors are reportedly coming early next month as part of the "Haswell Refresh Platform." The chips will fully support motherboards based on Intel's upcoming LGA 1150 9-series chipsets, and the various motherboard manufactures appear to be hard at work getting their lineups ready. As a result, enthusiasts can expect to see the new chips and motherboards (using the H97 and Z97 chipsets) on store shelves soon.
If you have not already bought into Haswell, the refreshed lineup is worth waiting for. if you are already running a Haswell-based system, upgrading to a refreshed Haswell CPU and H97 or Z97 motherboard makes much less sense. Instead, you should ride it out until Sky Lake or at least Broadwell (upgrade itch permitting, of course).
Corning USB 3.Optical Cables Now Available
Subject: General Tech | April 20, 2014 - 03:59 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: usb 3.0, optical cable, corning
USB 3.Optical is a cable technology by Corning to extend the range of USB 3.0 while maintaining high bandwidth. Like the eventually realized promise of Thunderbolt, the cable is a stretch of fiber-optics between the two end points. The currently available SKU is a 10m male-to-female USB 3.0 A to A cable (a ten meter USB 3.0 extension cord). The idea is that users will plug their intended cable to the female end, as if it were the actual socket on the computer.
The cable is actually currently available, right now, on Amazon. The catch? A 10m cable is $110 USD. This is around three-to-four dollars per foot. Needless to say that it is probably a bit too expensive for a "just in case" purchase. However, if you have a significant need for it, a cable now exists. The company also expects to ship 20M and 30M cables at some point this year.
One thing that is not clear is whether these cables are powered. I do not see anywhere which claims that it can transmit power. There is little reason why not, you could fit two extra little wires and put a 5V drop between them pretty easily over those ranges, but I expect that they did not.
Corning USB 3.Optical cables are available now on Amazon although eAccutech seems to be cheaper (I have not heard of the latter but they are mentioned in the Corning press release).
Steaming on a Sempron

Tagged: steambox, amd, sempron, athlon, Kabini, SteamOS
A popular question that has arisen from the release of the four new low cost Kabini processors has been their effectiveness in powering a Steam Machine. Phoronix have just finished testing the new Athlon and Sempron chips, paired with several laptop IGPs using Catalyst Linux driver fglrx 13.35.5/OpenGL 4.3.12798 on Ubuntu 14.04. They tested Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, and Portal at a variety of resolutions to see just how much performance these chips offer. None of the chips could offer acceptable performance at 1080p and only Portal was delivered at 60fps assuming you used 1024x768. They will be following this review with another that will pair discreet GPUs with Kabini which should increase gaming capabilities greatly.
"Earlier today the latest installment of our extensive Linux testing of AMD's new Athlon AM1 APUs were shared in the form of RadeonSI vs. Gallium3D benchmarks of the Radeon R3 Graphics found with these new entry-level APUs. Not included with that open-source vs. closed-source driver testing was any Source Engine / Steam Linux game testing due to an XCB DRI3 issue, but this article is devoted to looking at the Catalyst performance for the Sempron 2650, Sempron 3850, Athlon 5150, and Athlon 5350 to see whether any of these APUs can make the cut for a budget Steam Machine."

Non-Replaceable, Defective Batteries in Sony VAIO Fit 11A
Subject: General Tech, Systems | April 15, 2014 - 08:48 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: vaio, sony, battery issue
So it turns out that Sony, after releasing their last VAIO PC refresh before the division is sold to Japan Industrial Partners, have found an issue with Panasonic's custom lithium battery packs. The VAIO Fit 11A models, released February 2014, have the potential to overheat and catch fire, burning itself and the PC. They are in the process of creating a refund, repair, or exchange program but, in the mean time, request users stop using the devices for their safety.
In head-crushing formation. #HandsCheck
The affected products fall under the model number, "SVF11N1XXXX", where Xs are, of course, some random letter or number. This information is printed underneath the display, accessible using the "release-lock" latch when the laptop is open.
Of course, this is all just unfortunate for Sony. The last product they create under their VAIO brand requires what basically amounts to a safety recall -- for a third-party component. Beyond that, Panasonic asserts that the flaw only seems to exist in the batteries that were customized for Sony. Panasonic, like many manufacturers, introduces slight modifications to existing products for a specific customer's needs. They do not believe that their other batteries, even of the same model, is defective outside of the shipment that Sony received.
At some point, you just need to feel bad for them...
Ars Technica Estimates Steam Sales and Hours Played
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | April 16, 2014 - 01:56 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: valve, steam
Valve does not release sales or hours played figures for any game on Steam and it is rare to find a publisher who will volunteer that information. That said, Steam user profiles list that information on a per-account basis. If someone, say Ars Technica, had access to sufficient server capacity, say an Amazon Web Services instance, and a reasonable understanding of statistics, then they could estimate.
Oh look, Ars Technica estimated by extrapolating from over 250,000 random accounts.
If interested, I would definitely look through the original editorial for all of its many findings. Here, if you let me (and you can't stop me even if you don't), I would like to add my own analysis on a specific topic. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on the PC, according to VGChartz, sold 3.42 million copies on at retail, worldwide. The thing is, Steamworks was required for every copy sold at retail or online. According to Ars Technica's estimates, 5.94 million copies were registered with Steam.
5.94 minus 3.42 is 2.52 million copies sold digitally. Almost a third of PC sales were made through Steam and other digital distribution platforms. Also, this means that the PC was the game's second-best selling platform, ahead of the PS3 (5.43m) and behind the Xbox 360 (7.92m), minus any digital sales on those platforms if they exist, of course. Despite its engine being programmed in DirectX 9, it is still a fairly high-end game. That is a fairly healthy install base for decent gaming PCs.

XP has helped slow the decline of PC sales
Subject: General Tech | April 14, 2014 - 01:24 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gartner, pc sales, desktop market share
With a total of 76.6 million PCs shipped worldwide in the first quarter of 2014 the desktop market only shrunk by 1.7% compared to the first quarter of 2013. Gartner attributes this to two main factors, new desktops being purchased to replace aging machines running WinXP and a decline in the sales of tablets, at least in the US. Lenovo retains its top spot globally but HP has been doing quite well with their marketing and now hold top spot in both the US and EMEA. Check out all their findings at DigiTimes.
"The end of XP support by Microsoft on April 8 has played a role in the easing decline of PC shipments," said Mikako Kitagawa, principal analyst at Gartner. "All regions indicated a positive effect since the end of XP support stimulated the PC refresh of XP systems. Professional desktops, in particular, showed strength in the quarter."

The Health of Intel's Many Divisions...
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | April 16, 2014 - 08:40 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, silvermont, arm, quarterly earnings, quarterly results
Sean Hollister at The Verge reported on Intel's recent quarterly report. Their chosen headline focuses on the significant losses incurred from the Mobile and Communications Group, the division responsible for tablet SoCs and 3G/4G modems. Its revenue dropped 52%, since last quarter, and its losses increased about 6%. Intel is still making plenty of money, with $12.291 billion USD in profits for 2013, but that is in spite of Mobile and Communications losing $3.148 billion over the same time.
Intel did have some wins, however. The Internet of Things Group is quite profitable, with $123 million USD of income from $482 million of revenue. They also had a better March quarter than the prior year, up a few hundred million in both revenue and profits. Also, Mobile and Communications should have a positive impact on the rest of the company. The Silvermont architecture, for instance, will eventually form the basis for 2015's Xeon Phi processors and co-processors.
It is concerning that Internet of Things has over twice the sales of Mobile but I hesitate to make any judgments. From my position, it is very difficult to see whether or not this trend follows Intel's projections. We simply do not know whether the division, time and time again, fails to meet expectations or whether Intel is just intentionally being very aggressive to position itself better in the future. I would shrug off the latter but, obviously, the former would be a serious concern.
The best thing for us to do is to keep an eye on their upcoming roadmaps and compare them to early projections.
Introduction, Specifications, and Contents
Corsair has added another double-width liquid cooler to their growing lineup of all-in-one solutions with the H105, joining the existing H100i and larger H110 in this category.
Image courtesy of Corsair
Initially, the H105 might leave you scratching your head. It's listed on Corsair's site with the same $119.99 MSRP as the H100i, and both are 240mm designs featuring the same high performance fans. The similarities end there, however, as the design of the H105 is more akin to Corsair's new 120mm H75 (which we recently reviewed) than to the existing 240mm H100/H100i. With the H75 already a solid price/performance pick in Corsair's lineup - and the various other options still available - it's reasonable to wonder exactly where H105 fits in.
While this new cooler is using the same pair of excellent SP120L PWM fans as the earlier H100i (and H80i), it's the radiator they will be connected to that should separate the H105 from prior efforts. Corsair has implemented a much thicker 240mm rad with the H105 at 35mm (vs. only 27mm on earlier products), and this added thickness should have an noticeable impact on cooling performance, and possibly fan noise as well.

Hi sorry for the Noobism, but is it not possible to unlock an out of the box 1.1.2 even if you downgrade it to 1.1.1 and activate/jailbreak etc?
I thought it was possible to unlock a 1.1.1 iphone? Is it something to do with the bootloader? Sorry but many thanks!
Also would it be best to wait and buy a 1.1.3 iphone?
By the way remember everyone was a noob once!

Seafood >The Knife & Fork Inn
Atlantic Ave & Pacific Ave, Atlantic City, NJ | Directions 0840139.353299 -74.445422
Sat-Thu 4pm-10pm;
Fri 11:30am-10pm
Neighborhoods: Absecon
Horrible – We arrived with great expection only to be disappointed by slow service and an avoidant waiter. We wondered if it was an overall problem throughout the room but watched as tables were seated after us, were served promptly, ate and left BEFORE we got our food! The difference? We had kids. Were my kids out of line or noisy, nope. When a member of my small group pointed out the issue to the server, she did not apologize or offer any explanation. In fact, she looked entirely ticked off.
For those interested in our opinion of the food - it was "ok" but nothing to write home about.
Tip - don't bother.
my fav!!! – Just go, thats all I would say...Great waiters, bartenders who remember what you like...I go as often as possible...
Best steaks and seafood in AC! – The Knife and Fork is one of the best restaurants in Atlantic City. The food is fresh and prepared in a magnificant fashion. The ambiance is amazing, and the bar is a great meeting place. The seafood is always prepared in an interesting way and the specials are very creative. The service is second to none, and the wine list is one of the best around.
If you want to go to a first class restaurant, and want avoid the casino crowds, the Knife and Fork is the best option in AC.
Great customer service – My fiance and I went here to celebrate our engagement. When he called to make the reservation he had let them know we were getting engaged before coming and asked if we could have an isolated table. The manager went out his way to our evening and experience special. I was very impressed with the level of customer service and the food!
Under great new management – Forget the casino restaurants. The food is sensitive,sophisticated and served in a romatic setting. There is valet parking and a friendly and accomodative staff. Crab and corn cakes, a huge frenched pork chop, baby lamb chops and don't miss the sides: beer battered green beans with lemon aioli, beet chips and goat cheese potato gratin. Desserts conclude the surprisingly consistent menu. Attractive cocktail menu.We had a great Suvignon Blanc for $35 from an adaptable wine list.
An AC landmark that satisfies with old-style cuisine of the South Jersey seashore. – In Short
This restaurant's red roof has been part of AC's skyline since 1912--long before Trump took over this part of town. The cuisine honors the Inn's glory days, when the Rat Pack ruled, and food was simple and rich. Be prepared to become acquainted with oysters Adrienne, lobster Thermidor, crab meat-stuffed seafood and bleu cheese dressing. Succulent lobster stands out among entrees. Other best bests include flavorful seafood bouillabaisse and tender pork prime rib.
Dowmbeach Landmark! – Outstanding landmark "downbeach!" Family owned and operated for decades, it was truly a gourmet experience! Service was outstanding; food exquisite; atmosphere wonderful. Highly recommend it for an upscale, romantic dinner.

Responsible capitalism: more detail needed
Responding to Ed Miliband's Juncture essay, Richard Lambert says the Labour leader is right about the broad issues needed to develop a more successful and responsible form of capitalism, but hasn't yet got to grips with the detail.
It's good that Ed Miliband is developing his ideas on responsible capitalism, which is set to be a central political issue for years to come. And his essay for Juncture touches on many of the right themes – the role of industrial policy, short-termism, finance for small enterprises, and so on. But to judge by this article, Labour still has quite a way to go to develop the kind of crunchy programme that a centre-left party in opposition might be expected to be working on at this stage of the political and economic cycle.
Some of the most difficult issues are ignored altogether – environmental sustainability and climate change being an obvious example. Labour has to think hard about the sticks and carrots that will be required to persuade companies that it makes no sense to maximise profits today at an environmental cost that will be carried one way or another by generations to come.
Other themes are addressed with aspirations – 'I want to see a British Investment Bank supporting Britain's enterprising small businesses' – but with very little detail. And some ideas are decidedly woolly, such as those in the section on skills policy, which must be absolutely central to the development of a more successful and responsible form of capitalism in the UK over the long term.
Mr Miliband writes here about the last Labour government's success in raising standards of literacy and numeracy in schools, and in vastly increasing the number of apprenticeships during its term in office. But this skates over the UK's continuing shortcomings when it comes to the development of basic and intermediate skills, evident in the fact that many firms are still reporting skills shortages even at a time of high unemployment.
As for apprenticeships, Mr Miliband – like the Coalition government– seems to be much more interested in numbers than in quality. That's a mistake, because the result is that the notion of what an apprenticeship should involve has been seriously devalued in this country. In continental Europe, apprenticeships are tickets to real job opportunities: they are usually available only to young people and take several years to complete. By contrast, many apprenticeships in this country have very limited labour market value, and amount to little more than subsidised training over relatively brief periods of time for people of all ages. A Labour party in opposition should be kicking the tyres of such a system very hard indeed.
Then there's the really challenging question of whether companies should be required one way or another to take some kind of responsibility for the training of their employees. Mr Miliband writes vaguely about the need to 'do more to support labour market progression through active labour market policies', whatever that might mean. But shouldn't a centre-left party have more precise views about how to tackle the UK's relatively low and declining labour training rates?
Employers strongly resist the notion of compulsory training programmes, and with reason. But there is still an important debate to be had about how best to encourage more company-led training, and a recent IPPR publication No train, no gain: Beyond free-market and state-led skills policy provides a good starting point.
It argues that a lack of investment in training is rooted in insufficiently ambitious competitive strategies which do not stimulate the kind of investment that's needed to build a well-skilled workforce. And it makes the case for sector skills councils to be reinvigorated and made more democratic, and for establishing local skills boards at the level of local enterprise partnerships. Membership of these boards would be mandatory where that made sense, but would also bring benefits – such as access to tax relief for training, and tailored business advice.
There's plenty of room for argument about ideas like this – and that kind of debate is exactly what's needed right now. The last Labour government showed that pouring large subsidies into training on a top-down basis did not produce value for money. And we know that the market by itself is unlikely to fill the gap without some form of encouragement, not least because even the most responsible companies fear that freeriding competitors will poach their staff once they've been trained. Labour needs to get to grips with these issues.
Responsible capitalism starts with a company that places the needs of its customers first, delivering competitively priced products and services in a sustainable fashion. It gives due weight to the needs of other interested parties – shareholders, employees and communities. And it makes profits not for their own sake, but rather in order to meet its obligations to these different stakeholders, and to stay in business. Mr Miliband is right on the big picture when he's discussing these broad issues. It's time now to get down to the detail.

TXI is a leading supplier of cement, aggregate and consumer product building materials. All types of construction - residential, commercial and public works - use these materials.
Our primary markets are Texas and California, the nation's most populous states and the two largest cement markets in the U.S. Texas and California also lead the nation in receiving the largest shares of federal highway construction funding. We believe population growth trends in both states will generate increasing construction activity in these markets in the years to come.
Our strategy focuses on achieving leading positions in these growth markets while maintaining a low-cost profile. TXI is the largest, low-cost producer of cement in Texas. When the economy recovers, TXI will enhance its market position when it completes its expansion project to more than double the existing production capacity at our Central Texas cement plant. With the recently completed expansion and modernization of the California cement plant, TXI is now a low-cost producer in southern California and a much larger producer of cement in the market.
TXI's aggregate, ready-mix and packaged concrete operations are leading suppliers to markets that are primarily in the Texas region. We are also the largest supplier of expanded shale and clay lightweight aggregate products west of the Mississippi River.
The long-term outlook for construction growth in Texas and California provides us with attractive expansion opportunities. In 1997, our capacity to make cement was 2 million tons per year. Today, we have increased that capacity to 6 million tons annually and are on our way to almost 8 million tons over the next several years.
In the Investor Relations segment, the terms TXI, Company, we, our and us means Texas Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, unless the context requires otherwise.

Knowing has been my favorite perfume for many, many years. My husband, relatives and friends all compliment me when I wear it. On one occasion a woman followed me out of the a store to inquire about my perfume.
My shopping experience with Fragrance X has been stellar. I ordered on line, the package was received as promised . A flawless shopping experience.

Comments about Knowing Perfume:
Ever since I can remember I have always put Perfume on myself in the morning
It makes me feel like a Woman. Knowing is the kind of Perfume that you can do that with and it makes me feel special, and now that I know I can get it from Fragrancex at a price that I can afford to wear it everyday and the time it took to be delivered to Australia where I live, was better than the time it takes for purchases I by in Australia to be delivered.

A great perfume that always gets comments and you can always tell when someone else is wearing it - it stands out in a crowd. Just don't drown yourself in it and little lasts a long time. Always use it if I want it to last all day. My favourite!!

I have been working at MomentumSI full-time for more than a year
Pros – - I worked here for several years before I left to try some new things. Came back a year and a half ago to take advantage of a great opportunity.
- The fact that I get exposed to multiple leading edge technologies, inherently promotes my job security.
- Few companies have the learning opportunities afforded here.
- Management is fair in all matters, internal or customer-facing.
- The firm is growing rapidly given demand for modern technology services.
- I get to work remotely from the Bay Area. Although, I collaborate extensively with colleagues on Hangouts, Skype, StatusPath and Yammer.
Cons – - Because I work remote, I sometimes miss daily interactions with colleagues on a daily basis in an office environment.
- If you are not intellectually curious and not always looking to expand your knowledge, you will not like it here.
Advice to Senior Management – I already provide ideas and feedback to management on an ongoing basis. Glad to report that I get a fair hearing and actions taken based on merit.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at MomentumSI full-time for more than a year
Pros – Working with the newest,latest and greatest technologies and staying ahead of the technology curve with DevOp's and Cloud. Getting to travel and work at different client sites and with grow my skill set through the different opportunities
Cons – Not a lot to complain about; great team to work with and if anything, just the travel can be an adjustment to get used to
Advice to Senior Management – Continue to provide different opportunities to grow from within
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at MomentumSI
Pros – Best of MSI is their ability to ask you to do anything beyond what you've done already - great for folks who want to expand their technical abilities and are self-motivated to learn. They pay/reward well for specific ability. They will also expect your participation in CEO efforts that often expand your technical ability and be of strategic value at the time. Good recognition for those contributions.
Cons – MSI has long hours and are very apt to tell you one thing yet do another. Make sure you get all 'offers' and statements of work in writing - especially when it comes to anything you 'think' you'll receive as compensation for work/travel or expect to do at a client. If you're not currently engaged - be prepared to do low level development or sales support if you're a consultant- this is not a job where you can focus only on your given area of expertise.
Advice to Senior Management – Formalize the hiring process and ensure verbal discussions match written SOWs and or agreements with clients and employees. Nothing worse than going to a client expecting one thing and doing another. (This is from an expectation on both the client part - and the consultant's.)
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Chris Pratt Gossip
Chris Pratt gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Chris Pratt is arriving
Mr Photoman/ Splash
As excited as I was for The Avengers, I'm even more excited for Guardians of the Galaxy. So far, I'm not even this excited for The Avengers 2, and it will star one of my all-time favorite comic book characters. Don't get me wrong, I'm stoked for The Avengers 2. But Guardians is a different beast all together. Full Story
Actor with no personality plays tree
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Ethan Miller/ Getty
Remember when I wrote about Vin Diesel maybe making something happen at Marvel, and I was like, Ugh, please just let him be the space tree that barely speaks? Well guess what? He's the tree. Diesel, after weeks of buildup via Facebook and some pretty blatant campaigning, is in talks to portray Groot, the sort-of talking space tree in Guardians of the Galaxy. Full Story
The LEGO Movie actually looks funny (and Chris Pratt IS funny)
A movie based on LEGO is an iffy proposition. On the one hand, it has universal appeal—LEGO has been popular so long that there are kids playing with it today and there are generations of adults who grew up with it, too. Who doesn't love LEGO? It's awesome. But on the other hand, movies based on toys don't have the best track record, either financially or qualitatively (see also: Battlship, Transformers, GI: Joe). Full Story
Burt Macklin is a superhero
Kris Connor/ Getty
It's a good week for Everwood alums. On the heels of the news that Emily VanCamp landed the female lead in Captain America 2, it's been announced that Chris Pratt, who also got his break on Everwood, won the coveted role of Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy. Full Story

Sure, it'll capture 16-megapixel pictures and HD video, but what's important is where it can do it and from how far away.
At Computex 2013 in Taipei, Acer debuted its Liquid S1 phablet, which sports a 5.7-inch display, a quad-core processor, and an 8-megapixel camera.
Pricing not available
Need a high-end bridge camera that can be used in any weather? The S1 is that camera.
For the price, the BlueAnt S1 is an excellent Bluetooth speakerphone with great features and performance.
The 5.7-inch Acer Liquid S1 takes on the Samsung Galaxy Note with features to stop you from being disturbed from what you're doing.
CNET goes hands-on with Sony's unique S1 Android Honeycomb tablet, due out in Fall of 2011.
The Samsung S1 Mini's high cost per gigabyte and slow throughput benchmarks overshadow its sexy design and small 1.8-inch footprint. We prefer the Transcend StoreJet, which offers more storage at a fraction of the cost.
Pricing not available
The Sanyo S1 is a basic phone with Bluetooth and not much else, which is good for those who want a phone without a lot of frills.

Fujifilm has launched a new bridge camera, and it's packing a 26x optical zoom, as well as a 12-megapixel sensor.

Vehicles with Safety & Quality Ratings
For 2014 the Honda Pilot continues without any significant changes.
Three-zone automatic climate control, Bluetooth connectivity and an 8-inch multi-information display with a rear backup camera have been added to the Honda Pilot's list of standard equipment for the 2013 model year.
For many buyers the 2014 Honda Pilot will be the perfect SUV. It's mid-size on the outside, with all the resultant benefits in maneuverability and parking ease, yet with the 8-passenger capacity of full-size models. Factor in proven Honda reliability and customer satisfaction, the pleasurable driving experience, good resale value, its comprehensive offering of features and that it's the most fuel-efficient 8-passenger SUV on the market, and it's very difficult not to like the 2014 Pilot. Its competitors include the Nissan Pathfinder, Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander, all having their own attributes and attractions, but seating only seven passengers and lacking the Pilot's appeal. The 2014 Pilot is a near-ideal choice for reliable and efficient transportation for families and their gear.

Recreating the Colorado River… in Chicago
Artist Kurt Wenner is known for brain-defying creations. He makes drawings on pavement that feel 3D, often from the perspective of looking down into a scene struggle or chaos. Wenner recently took on a topic central to the Western United States: the Colorado River. He recreated the river's winding path... across the marble floor of Chicago's Union Station. It's part of an environmental campaign by an almond and soymilk manufacturer. Aspen Public Radio's Elise Thatcher talks with Kurt Wenner, from his home in Washington State…. and it turns out he's got a trick for keeping his artwork durable.

5023 image of God
Humanity is created in the image or likeness of God. This image of God, given in creation, was damaged in the fall, but may be restored through Jesus Christ.
Humanity created in God's image
Ge 1:26-27 Image and likeness are probably synonymous terms in Hebrew parallelism. No physical likeness between God and humanity is intended. See also Ge 5:1-2
Paul implies that the divine image is associated in the first place with men Although Paul at points seems to imply that the image of God is especially associated with males, he does not imply that this involves male supremacy: 1Co 11:7,11-12
Respect for human life in God's image Ge 9:6; Jas 3:9
The divine image implies partnership with God in the stewardship of creation Ge 1:26 See also Ps 8:3-8
The divine image includes imitating God's love and justice Mt 5:48 See also Dt 10:17-19
The image of God disfigured, though not totally destroyed, in the fall
Fallen humanity in contention with creation See also Ge 3:17-19
Fallen humanity and the exploitation of nature Dt 22:6-7; Isa 7:23-25
Jesus Christ the image of God
Php 2:6; Col 1:15 See also 2Co 4:4
He is the exact representation of God Heb 1:3
He reveals God Jn 1:18
Jesus Christ is the perfect human being
Jn 1:4 See also Jn 1:9,14; Php 2:7; Heb 2:17
Restoration of the divine image through Jesus Christ
The divine image is renewed in all who are united with him by faith Ro 8:29 See also 2Co 3:18; Eph 1:13-14; Eph 4:22-24; Col 3:9-10
The promise of complete restoration in the future 1Co 15:49; 1Jn 3:2 See also 1Co 15:42,45-48; Php 3:21
The Christian life as a process of transformation 2Co 3:18

Sterling's Upstairs Opens at The Federal
Continuing its six year reign as the most popular and award-winning supper club of its kind in the greater Los Angeles area, dedicated to presenting the best of Broadway performers and nightclub artists dedicated to the Great American Songbook, Sterling's Upstairs had its Grand Opening Sunday, April 1st at The Federal Bar and Restaurant in North Hollywood's trendy NoHo Arts District. Sterling's presented Bruce Kimmel's Kritzerland production of Take Me Along: The Songs of Bob Merrill as its premiere offering. The six member cast starred musical theatre stars Julie Garnyé and Juliana Hansen, Broadway's Melody Hollis and Kristofer McNeely, and musical theatre star Jeffrey Christopher Todd, with Special Guest... Broadway, film, TV, concert and recording star Lainie Kazan. Christy Crowel served as the evening's Musical Director, with Shelly Markham serving as Musical Director for Lainie Kazan. Bruce Kimmel conceived, produced and directed Take Me Along, with Adryan Russ on board as Associate Producer.

Giorgio - So You, rather strong, a little over the top, after it settles not too bad at all.

I have been wearing Giorgio Beverly Hills for many years now and everyone tells me how lovely this scent is. It is not overpowering and can be worn by anyone, anywhere at any time of the day. I absolutely love it but it is increasingly becoming more difficult to buy. The body lotion is gorgeous too.

No more Sega-published Marvel games
Sega won't be publishing any more video games featuring characters from the Marvel Comics stable any time soon, if ever again. Marvel's vice president of games production, TQ Jefferson, while light on specifics, confirmed the news in a recent interview.
"There are no current plans for additional Marvel games to be published by Sega," he said.
