Copyright 2016, Valley View Consultants, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Valley View Consultants, Inc. (VVC)
How can a Consumer, Employer, Trustee or Professional Advisor make informed, prudent and dispute defensible investment and life insurance decisions / recommendations if they don't know the prospective financial value relationships of today's planning alternatives?
What do today's financial structures offer assuming a 6% or 8% S&P 500 Total Return planning assumption?
Age 50 Highly Compensated Employee (HCE) - $50,000 Annual After-tax Equivalent Contribution to age 65
VVC provides the "All things being equal" starting point to make informed Investment and Protection decisions.
Meet VVC's founder - Mark Whitelaw _______________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Consumer Problem - The VVC Consumer Disclosure Analysis Solution
The Consumer Problem – Most life insurance products are not securities and the financial comparisons used in agent sales are not based on market total returns (dividends included). Result – A financial comparison that is unrealistic, deceptive and misleading.
The VVC Consumer Disclosure Analysis Solution – VVC utilzes industry defined (FINRA & NAIC) regulations and your market total return planning assumptions to provide financial consumers the real-world financial relationships of today's product and tax alternatives.
"All things being equal", what are today's alternatives putting-on-the-table for you and your family?
VVC was created in 2002 to provide:
Valley View Consultants, Inc. specializes in individually-owned / trust-owned Institutional Life Insurance (ILI) investment analytics, policy evaluation, access and administrative services - The STAR Plan featuring ILI.
Why do Chief Financial Officers and High Net Worth Individuals fund invest through the ILI tax and pricing container?
Because HCE Class employees and individuals live the longest.
Differentiating The STAR Plan featuring ILI from the retail "LIRP" and "Asset Class" sale.
Informed and prudent financial decisions start with industry defined best practices analytics:
VVC utilizes Investment and Life Insurance industry best practices to facilitate this structural and planning analysis.
Industry best practices demonstrate institutionally-priced Life Insurance (ILI) is the more suitable fund, risk and tax management container for healthy higher and highly compensated "white-collar" individuals to fund invest outside a tax-qualified plan.
Not "life insurance" in the retail sense, but IRC §7702 based investment, tax , cash and risk management.
ILI Suitability Questions
ILI is designed to serve as a IRC §7702 based fund investment and risk management container.
ILI is a cost-shifting opportunity for healthy individuals expected to live the longest.
VVC serves five markets with its specialty investment and life insurance analytics and ILI services:
Today ILI risk rates cost less than tax rates … and that has opened the door to a new level of personal value and planning efficiency.
Top Ten ILI Market and Planning Questions - One Answer - The STAR Plan featuring ILI
Not a LIRP (Life Insurance Retirement Plan) agents use to sell an over-funded retail life insurance policy to the general public.
The STAR Plan is a an institutional IRC §7702 based fund, cash, tax and risk management program for HCE Class individuals.
As a fund investor, does it make more economic sense to give-up:
As an affluent or high net worth "white-collar" individual, do you believe:
The STAR Plan is a longevity driven fund and tax management program for ILI qualifying individuals.
Tax-deferred cash accumulation - income tax-free cash-flow during life, terminal illness and death.
1. Affluent individuals invest in themselves because they live the longest.
Institutionally-priced Life Insurance (ILI) was created in 1986 to help Chief Financial Officers fund Parity Restoration Plans to Key Employees and Executives impacted by Washington's employee benefit plan restrictions and limitations.
Affluent individuals are living so long that today's ILI risk rates cost less than today's tax rates, and medical advancements extending life expectancy is expected to further increase ILI's advantage.
This longevity driven "value proposition" is why bank CFO's have invested over $156.2 billion into ILI for asset diversification (BOLI Assets – 12/2015).
2. The longer we live, the lower the total cost of ILI based investing. "(A+B) < C"
Valley View Consultants, Inc. was founded in 2002 to pioneer direct individual access to Institutional Life Insurance (ILI) through a professionally administered ILI funding and management program – The STAR Plan.
"Longevity" is the greater financial risk today – outliving assets or planning assumptions.
Unlike retail replacement-priced life insurance, ILI is retention-priced - converts increasing 'white-collar" life expectancy into increasing investment and protection efficiency.
Impact of the 2017 DOL Fiduciary Rule on Consumers
Increasing The STAR Plan Value Proposition … by Further Decreasing the Value of Tax Based Alternatives ("C").
3. The longer medical advancements let us live, the greater the expected ILI value proposition.
We have seen how increases in life expectancy has impacted tax reform, pension reform, Social Security, etc., and increased the benefit (lowered the cost) of ILI based fund investing.
Economics of Longevity
Expected impact on spendable value if Medical Science continues to help us live longer.
ILI is a longevity hedge against the expected continued impact longevity has on other planning alternatives.
Institutional Life Insurance (ILI) offers a lower lifelong total cost-of-investing today than other fund, cash and tax management alternatives plus an increasing value proposition tomorrow the longer medical advancements let us live … while providing added financial protection for terminal illness and death.
Institutional Life Insurance (ILI) Q & A
The Top 10 Q&A's on ILI's Different Value Proposition
This site provides relevant information on specific estate, business and financial planning topics.
Information and hypothetical illustrations of mathematical principles are for informational and educational purposes only.
Using Consumer Disclosure Best Practices for Prudent Defensible Decision Making
Medical science extending HCE Class life expectancy has allowed ILI to evolve into the more cost-efficient and valuable investment management structure.
Not our opinion, but the financial result of applying FINRA and NAIC defined consumer disclosure best practices.
Enhancing Estate Plans with ILI
Diversifying fund portfolios with ILI to reduce costs and enhance value for
life, terminal illness and death.
No new money contributions.
Enhancing Personal Savings Plans with ILI
Medical science has allowed ILI to evolve into the more efficient savings
and retirement plan complement.

Manor Memoirs - Review
Aquascapes, Gardenscapes, Barn Yarn and there we go a long list of other similar Hidden Object games from Playrix; and here is the newest member of the family, Menor Memoirs. Well, if you loved the games mentioned above; Manor Memoirs is basically another rendition of those.
Purchases are made through http://www.bigfishgames.com.
Guaranteed virus free and ads free.
Name: Manor Memoirs Collector's Edition
Release Date: 24 August 2014
Developer: Playrix
Scarlett is a successful writer; even so, she has lost the inspiration for her new writing. She decided to move into a new manor in the hope to seek ideas and inspirations; unfortunately, the place appears run down and requires some help. Help Scarlett organize a garage sale, earn money and decorate the manor. The only thing we found different in this game compared to other Playrix's games is the 'Manor' instead of a farm, an aquarium or a garden. Nonetheless, it is not like we have not fixed up a house before in Gardenscapes: Mansion Makeover.
Per Playrix's standards, the visuals and audio in Manor Memoirs are as great as ever. The graphics are very clean and colorful while the music is lively and relaxing; definitely the perfect game to sit down and enjoy with your family. There are voice overs in the cutscenes; however, the game mostly develops through silent dialogues.
The main idea of the game is to earn as much money from playing the hidden object scenes, one after another and choose decorations for your house. Occasionally, there are special tasks which usually prompt up slightly more creative hidden object scenes or simple puzzles.
Usually Playrix's games are very long, not to mention that those were released as Standard Editions on Big Fish Games. As a Collector's Edition, Manor Memoirs disappoints. The length of the game is much shorter compared to others of its kind; the bonuses are also not that worthy, considering a bunch of pointless hidden object scenes and other gallery items.
All in all, Manor Memoirs is just another endless objects-finding game that is far too similar to the ones released before.
Graphics: 4.5/5 Stars
Sound: 4.5/5 Stars
Gameplay: 3.5/5 Stars
Originality: 2/5 Stars
Control and Navigation: 4/5 Stars
Fun Factor: 3.5/5 Stars

More gun laws aren't the answer
Following a shocking number of mass shootings in America and punctuated by the recent carnage in Oak Creek, our nation grieves the injuries and loss of life suffered by the victims. Then the mourners who own guns brace themselves for the inevitable assault upon their rights.
It is the same demand for tougher gun laws or "reasonable" restrictions. What is lacking in those leading that assault is a full knowledge of the existing gun laws, how those laws are enforced, what effect existing laws have had upon crimes where guns are used and if those laws prevent prohibited people from obtaining firearms.
Those asking lawmakers for increased gun regulations should be able to explain the mechanics of exactly how a new gun law would work in the real world.
All the data collected by the FBI and law enforcement agencies throughout America clearly indicate that gun control laws don't work because criminals don't obey or care. So is the answer even more of the same and to then expect a different result?
Semiautomatic firearms first were manufactured in the late 1800s and have been in use by Americans ever since. Reinstate the assault weapons ban? There was never a ban in the first place. The domestic makers of rifles such as the AR-15 continued to manufacture the exact same gun outlawed in the ban. By removing certain cosmetic features such as a collapsible stock and bayonet lug, it remained legal to manufacture and sell these firearms.
Import of rifles such as AK-47s remained legal as long as the guns imported under the ban didn't have features such as a flash suppressor (to protect the shooters' eyes) and had a wooden stock that resembled a traditional hunting rifle. Under the ban, it was legal for the owner of an imported AK-47 to return the gun to its military appearance by adding a flash suppressor and a military-style stock as long as those parts were manufactured in the United States.
The millions of semiautomatic rifles, resembling military (selectable fire, full or semiautomatic) assault rifles, in the hands of Americans when the ban became effective were grandfathered and remained uncontrolled.
Magazines sold with these rifles, and new pistol magazines, were limited to 10 rounds. But by this time, Americans had purchased millions of existing high-capacity mags, so the ban was meaningless. The idea that a magazine capacity of 10 rounds creates a safer society is ludicrous.
Are we in less danger if we face a crazed criminal who has to take two seconds, two times, to change his 10-round magazines than we would be if he could fire the same 30 rounds without reloading?
Now, in 2012, there are tens of millions of high-cap magazines in circulation. Americans have a constitutionally protected individual right to possess arms, including magazines. Lawfully, there can't be a requirement that to exercise a right, one first must demonstrate a need.
The answer is not passing a potentially unconstitutional law that affects only the law-abiding. While it's sad and frightening to acknowledge that Americans have joined the perils of terrorism feared by the people of other nations, these shootings and other attacks will continue again, again and again. The answer is to refuse to be a victim.
In some cases, this means attacking the attacker, even when you're unarmed. As many recent shootings have occurred in "gun-free" zones, thereby providing unarmed citizens to criminals, this trap should be revisited. As skilled hunters and competitive shooters can affirm, in all the shootings, the killing could have been stopped by just one person with one handgun who fired one well-placed shot.
James E. Fendry is director of the Wisconsin Pro Gun Movement.

This Article Covers
EMC has unveiled the latest version of its flagship storage management software, which it said offers "more complete support" for competing products such as arrays from Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi Data Systems and IBM, as well as Linux servers.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

Version 5.2 of the ControlCenter software is also the first release that is compliant with the Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S), a set of protocols designed to let storage management tools interoperate with hardware devices from different suppliers.
Although ControlCenter 5.2 cannot automatically grow or shrink storage for business applications on non-EMC arrays, it can perform so-called storage resource management functions, such as automatic discovery of hardware and monitoring of its health and utilisation. The software can also follow the performance and report on HDS arrays and Linux hosts.
Dennis Hoffman, vice-president of product marketing for EMC's software products, said the upgrade "fills out" ControlCenter's ability to troubleshoot multi-supplier storage-area networks.
EMC already supported Hitachi's 9500V midrange arrays and HP's StorageWorks XP512 and XP1024 devices. Now, it has added management support for HP's XP48 array - a scaled-down version of the XP512 - and Hitachi's high-end 9900V product line, plus storage switches from Cisco Systems.
Tony Asaro, an analyst at Enterprise Storage Group, said the most impressive addition to ControlCenter is a wizard-driven installation process.
During an upgrade test of Version 5.2, "our backup administrator, with no previous ControlCenter experience, performed the initial installation on two ControlCenter infrastructure servers in less than an hour," Asaro said.
By comparison, the last upgrade of ControlCenter on 35 hosts required "lots of user intervention over three days", he said.
Barry Ader, director of software product marketing at EMC, said the interoperability with the HDS, IBM and HP hardware is based on application programming interfaces and not SMI-S.
"We'd love for the SMI standard to evolve to the point ... where we can do performance reporting across an entire set of arrays," he added.

MFAA Technology Recap
In mid-September NVIDIA took the wraps off of the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 GPUs, the first products based on the GM204 GPU utilizing the Maxwell architecture. Our review of the chip, those products and the package that NVIDIA had put together was incredibly glowing. Not only was performance impressive but they were able to offer that performance with power efficiency besting anything else on the market.
Of course, along with the new GPU were a set of new product features coming along for the ride. Two of the most impressive were Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) and Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA) but only one was available at launch: DSR. With it, you could take advantage of the extreme power of the GTX 980/970 with older games, render in a higher resolution than your panel, and have it filtered down to match your screen in post. The results were great. But NVIDIA spent as much time talking about MFAA (not mother-fu**ing AA as it turned out) during the product briefings and I was shocked when I found out the feature wouldn't be ready to test or included along with launch.
That changes today with the release of NVIDIA's 344.75 driver, the first to implement support for the new and potentially important anti-aliasing method.
Before we dive into the results of our testing, both in performance and image quality, let's get a quick recap on what exactly MFAA is and how it works.
Here is what I wrote back in September in our initial review:
While most of the deep, architectural changes in GM204 are based around power and area efficiency, there are still some interesting feature additions NVIDIA has made to these cards that depend on some specific hardware implementations. First up is a new antialiasing method called MFAA, or Multi-Frame Sampled AA. This new method alternates the AA sample pattern, which is now programmable via software, in both temporal and spatial directions.
The goal is to change the AA sample pattern in a way to produce near 4xMSAA quality at the effective cost of 2x MSAA (in terms of performance). NVIDIA showed a couple of demos of this in action during the press meetings but the only gameplay we saw was in a static scene. I do have some questions about how this temporal addition is affected by fast motion on the screen, though NVIDIA asserts that MFAA will very rarely ever fall below the image quality of standard 2x MSAA.
That information is still correct but we do have a little bit more detail on how this works than we did before. For reasons pertaining to patents NVIDIA seems a bit less interested in sharing exact details than I would like to see, but we'll work with what we have.
Continue reading our look at the new MFAA technology from NVIDIA's Maxwell GPUs!!
Gigabyte Wants All Your Money for a 3-Way SLI Watercooled GTX 980 Setup
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 14, 2014 - 04:46 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: sli, nvidia, N980X3WA-4GD, maxwell, GTX 980, gigabyte, geforce, 3-way
Earlier this week, a new product showed up on Gigabyte's website that has garnered quite a bit of attention. The GA-N980X3WA-4GD WaterForce Tri-SLI is a 3-Way SLI system with integrated water cooling powered by a set of three GeForce GTX 980 GPUs.
That. Looks. Amazing.
What you are looking at is a 3-Way closed loop water cooling system with an external enclosure to hold the radiators while providing a display full of information including temperatures, fans speeds and more. Specifications on the Gigabyte site are limited for now, but we can infer a lot from them:
- WATERFORCE :3-WAY SLI Water Cooling System
- Real-Time Display and Control
- Flex Display Technology
- Powered by NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 GPU
- Integrated with 4GB GDDR5 memory 256-bit memory interface(Single Card)
- Features Dual-link DVI-I / DVI-D / HDMI / DisplayPort*3(Single Card)
- BASE: 1228 MHz / BOOST: 1329 MHz
- System power supply requirement: 1200W(with six 8-pin external power connectors)
The GPUs on each card are your standard GeForce GTX 980 with 4GB of memory (we reviewed it here) though they are running at overclocked base and boost clock speeds, as you would hope with all that water cooling power behind it. You will need a 1200+ watt power supply for this setup, which makes sense considering the GPU horsepower you'll have access to.
Another interesting feature Gigabyte is listing is called GPU Gauntlet Sorting.
With GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting, the Gigabyte SOC graphics card guarantees the higher overclocking capability in terms of excellent power switching.
Essentially, Gigabyte is going to make sure that the GPUs on the WaterForce Tri-SLI are the best they can get their hands on, with the best chance for overclocking higher than stock.
Setup looks interesting - the radiators and fans will be in the external enclosure with tubing passing into the system through a 5.25-in bay. It will need to have quick connect/disconnect points at either the GPU or radiator to make that installation method possible.
Pricing and availability are still unknown, but don't expect to get it cheap. With the GTX 980 still selling for at least $550, you should expect something in the $2000 range or above with all the custom hardware and fittings involved.
Can I get two please?
NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet Update for November: Android 5.0, "Green Box", GRID Gaming Service
Subject: Systems, Mobile | November 13, 2014 - 07:48 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: shield tablet, shield, nvidia, grid, geforce grid
Today, NVIDIA has announced the November update for their SHIELD Tablet, which is really about three announcements that are rolled up together.
As expected, the SHIELD Tablet is getting a roll-up to Android 5.0 Lollipop and its new, "Material Design" style guide. NVIDIA's took the opportunity to refresh the SHIELD HUB (my shift key must think that this is an MSI announcement by now...) in the same design specification. While interesting, the two other announcements probably beat it out, especially the GRID streaming service (and how it relates to the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4).
But before we get to GRID, let's talk "The Green Box". In May, NVIDIA sent us a green crowbar to mark the availability of Half-Life 2 and Portal on the NVIDIA SHIELD. These were full, native ports of the PC title to ARM and Android that is exclusive to the NVIDIA SHIELD. With the November update, Half-Life 2: Episode One has also been ported to the platform. The three games, Portal, Half-Life 2, and Episode One, are also packaged in "The Green Box" bundle, which will be included free-of-charge with the SHIELD Tablet 32GB. Note that, while the games are included with the tablet, they require a controller to play, which is not included.
Now we talk about GRID.
Netflix is a popular service where people can watch a variety of movies from their rolling catalog. It will not replace ownership of certain, intrinsically valuable titles, but there is probably options for anyone who wants to consume some form of entertainment. GRID is a similar service for video games, and it is not the first. We took a look at a preview of OnLive in 2010, connecting to a server about 2400 miles away, which is over twice the maximum intended range, and found the experience somewhat positive for games except Unreal Tournament 3 at that relatively extreme latency. Another company, GaiKai, was purchased by Sony and rebranded as PlayStation Now. It will serve up a selection of games from the PS3 catalog. Again, content on these services can be pulled at any time, but if you are just looking for the entertainment value, something else will probably be there to scratch your itch.
The interesting part that I have been teasing throughout this entire post is the performance of NVIDIA GRID. PlayStation Now is rated at 192 GFLOPs, which is the theoretical GPU compute throughput of the PS3's RSX chip. GRID, on the other hand, is rated for 2448 GFLOPs (~2.5 TFLOPs). This is higher than the PlayStation 4, and almost twice the GPU performance of the Xbox One. On the PC side, it is roughly equivalent to the GeForce GTX 760 Ti.
This compute rating has a hidden story, too. Back in 2011, Epic Games demoed "Samaritan" in Unreal Engine 3. This was the bar that Epic Games set for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo to mark a new console generation. When Unreal Engine 4 was unveiled at the end of E3 2012, it was embodied in the Elemental Demo, which also ran at (you guessed it) 2.5 TFLOPs. At the PlayStation 4 (1.9 TFLOPs) announcement, the demo was scaled back with reduced particles and lighting complexity. It was not shown at either Xbox One (1.3 TFLOPs) announcement at all.
What all of that means is simple: NVIDIA GRID is the only fixed hardware platform (that I am aware of) to meet Epic's vision of a next-gen gaming system. I say fixed, of course, because the PC can over-double it per card, with some games scaling to four discrete GPUs. This also says nothing about the CPU performance, system memory, or video memory, but it has the GPU in the right place for a next gen platform.
The NVIDIA GRID preview will launch in November for North America, with East Coast and West Coast servers. It will expand in December for Western Europe, and in "Q2" for Asia Pacific. The service will be free for SHIELD users until June 30th, 2015. The Android 5.0 Update for the SHIELD Tablet will be available on November 18th.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Specifications Potentially Leaked
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 13, 2014 - 05:46 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, geforce, gtx 960, maxwell
It is possible that a shipping invoice fragment was leaked for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960. Of course, an image of text on a plain, white background is one of the easiest things to fake and/or manipulate, so take it with a grain of salt.
The GTX 960 is said to have 4GB of RAM on the same, 256-bit bus. Its video outputs are listed as two DVI, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort, making this graphics card useful for just one G-Sync monitor per card. If I'm reading it correctly, it also seems to have a 993 MHz base clock (boost clock unlisted) and an effective 6008 MHz (1500 MHz actual) RAM clock. This is slightly below the 7 GHz (1750 MHz actual) of the GTX 970 and GTX 980 parts, but it should also be significantly cheaper.
The GeForce GTX 960 is expected to retail in the low-$200 price point... some day.

Meet the new Maxwell STRIX
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 10, 2014 - 08:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: asus, strix, GTX 970 STRIX DirectCU II OC, GTX 970, nvidia, maxwell
When ASUS originally kicked off their new STRIX line they gained popularity not only due to the decent overclock and efficient custom cooler but also because there was only a small price premium over the base model. At a price of $400 on Amazon the card has a price inline with other overclocked models, some base models can be up to $50 less. [H]ard|OCP investigated this card to see what benefits you could expect from the model in this review, comparing it to the R290 and 290X. Out of the box the card runs at a core of 1253 -1266MHz and memory of 7GHz, with a bit of overvolting they saw a stable core of 1473 - 1492MHz and memory of 7.832GHz.
With the new price of the 290X dipping as low as $330 it makes for an interesting choice for GPU shoppers. The NVIDIA card is far more power efficient and the fans operate at 0dB until the GPU hits 65C, which [H] did not see until after running at full load for a time and even then the highest their manually overclocked card hit was 70C. On the other hand the AMD card costs $70 less and offers very similar performance. It is always nice to see competition in the market.
"Today we examine ASUS' take on the GeForce GTX 970 video card. We have the ASUS GTX 970 STRIX DirectCU II OC video card today, and will break down its next-gen performance against an AMD Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X. This video card features 0dB fans, and many factors that improve its chance of extreme overclocking."

FarCry 4, NVIDIA Gameworks and hair products for beasts
Subject: General Tech | November 6, 2014 - 07:47 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, far cry 4, ubisoft, gameworks, txaa, hbao+
Check out the video for a look at the various in game enhancements that NVIDIA's new feaures will be bringing to FarCry 4 and gaze in awe at that gorgeous yak featured at 1:37, just look at its hair waving in the breeze and reacting to the motions of the animal. It is not clear if AMD's TressFX will provide equivalent body and shine to the beasts that HairWorks does but you have to admit that is an impressive amount of work to make meat on the hoof look pretty. There are two different technologies to improve the look of shadows, Percentage Closer Soft Shadows (PCSS, aka ShadowWorks) softens the edges of shadows based on the distance between the object creating the shadow and the surface the shadow appears on while Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion (HBAO+) is a new and efficient way to render ambient lighting and shadows accurately without paying for it with a big hit in performance. Temporal anti-aliasing, TXAA is reputed to offer the benefits of MSAA 8x at the performance cost of 4x; while it is hard to judge the accuracy of that in the video you can certainly see it is an effective way of removing jaggies from straight edges. You can also expect to see God Rays rendered properly, the shot of the sun through the tree near the end makes a rather nice set peice to display that effect.
Below you can see the recommended hardware, it is worth emphasizing that only 64bit OSes need apply on the PC.

Introducing the NVIDIA GeForce GTX "Pick Your Path" Bundle
Subject: General Tech | November 4, 2014 - 06:09 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, Pick your Path, game bundle, GTX 980, GTX 970, GeForce GTX 780, GeForce GTX 780 Ti, GTX 980M, GTX 970M
NVIDIA has introduced a promotion to compete with AMD's Never Settle Forever program. The Pick your Path bundle offers purchasers of GTX 980, 970, 780 Ti, or 780 cards or who have bought notebooks with a GTX 980M or 970M the choice of one of three games. These titles include The Crew, Far Cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity, all of which feature optimization taking advantage of NVIDIA's new HBAO+ and TXAA technologies, enhanced performance at 4k resolutions and other game specific benefits such as the tessellation in Assassin's Creed. This promotion will run until the end of the year so if you had planned on upgrading your hardware to play one of these games it makes NVIDIA's solutions a little more attractive.
SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Nov. 4, 2014— NVIDIA today announced a new technology PC gaming development partnership with Ubisoft that will bring consumers closer to their games than ever before.
Thanks to the power of NVIDIA GeForce GTX technology, including the just-released GTX 980 and 970 GPUs, this holiday's hottest games, Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4 and The Crew, will look simply incredible. By integrating NVIDIA's superior GameWorks technologies, such as HBAO+ for realistic shadows, TXAA for cinema quality smoothness, as well as enhanced 4K support, Ubisoft is delivering cutting-edge content that allow PC gamers to become fully immersed in their gaming environments.
Part of the "Pick Your Path" promotion which kicks off this week and runs to the end of the year, gamers who purchase a qualifying GeForce GTX GPU, including a GeForce GTX 980, 970, 780 Ti, or 780 graphics card or a notebook with GeForce GTX 980M or 970M get their choice of which title--The Crew, Far Cry 4 or Assassin's Creed Unity--to add to their library for free.
"NVIDIA has worked hard, hand-in-hand with our development teams, to help provide the best experience for our PC players," said Jean-Francois St.Amour, Lead Graphics Programmer at Ubisoft Montreal. "Their support and insight is even more important now, as we make a big technological leap into the next-generation of Assassin's Creed games."
Assassin's Creed Unity, the latest installment in Ubisoft's most successful franchise, will feature HBAO+, TXAA, PCSS and tessellation technologies which allow Ubisoft to realistically render the 16th century game environments, which are set in Paris during the French Revolution.
Another legendary game series getting a massively visual and technology upgrade is Far Cry 4. In addition to HBAO+, TXAA, PCSS and enhanced 4K support, Far Cry 4 also integrates NVIDIA Godrays technology so gamers can feel the sun beating down in the Himalayas, and NVIDIA HairWorks, for rendering the realistic, but deadly adversaries that will be encountered in the game.
And finally, if horsepower, engines and pound per cubic feet rev your receptors more, then The Crew, the ultimate street racing game ever made, may be just the ticket you've been waiting for. Motoring through the bustling streets of New York City and Los Angeles, cruising down sunny Miami Beach or trekking through the plateaus of Monument Valley never looked so superb thanks in part to the integration of HBAO+ and TXAA technologies-- all rendered in breathtaking 4K. The Crew even comes with an Android companion app that lets you tinker with your ride before playing it live, chat remotely, browse friend profiles, and send your crew on jobs – all from the road.
What, me jealous? Four weeks with SLI'd GTX 980s
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 31, 2014 - 07:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sli, nvidia, GTX 980
Just in case you need a reason to be insanely jealous of someone, [H]ard|OCP has just published an article covering what it is like to be living with two GTX 980's in SLI. The cards are driving three Dell U2410 24" 1920x1200 displays for a relatively odd resolution of 3600x1920 but apart from an issue with the GeForce Experience software suite the cards have no trouble displaying to all three monitors. In their testing of Borderlands games they definitely noticed when PhysX was turned on, though like others [H] wishes that PhysX would abandon its proprietary roots. When compared to the Radeon R9 290X CrossFire system the performance is very similar but when you look at heat, power and noise produced the 980's are the clear winner. Keep in mind a good 290X is just over $300 while the least expensive GTX 980 will run you over $550.
"What do you get when you take two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 video cards, configure those for SLI, and set those at your feet for four weeks? We give our thoughts and opinions about actually using these GPUs in our own system for four weeks with focus on performance, sound profile, and heat generated by these cards."

The 800 million share kibosh will bring this down. Their 3.8 million volume is laughable. They could bring it to 50 dollars pre market, smart people will not cover, because they know the volume is just too much to handle.
Remember yesterday how many rating this as a strong sell estimated 20.50 in Pre-Market and at the open, driven up by those who brought this to the market at $38.00, all to allow higher profits to those with unlocked shares? Let the Muppets party. It's what they do as this slowly drifts down to a more reasonable P/E and PPS.

- Conference date: 19–21 November 2012
- Location: Chitkara University, Barotiwala, India
The excitation energy difference (ΔE) between the terminating states built on the f7/2 n and d3/2 −1f7/2 n+1 configurations (here, 'n' denotes the number of valence particles outside the core and the particle hole excitation across the magic gap 20 is of proton type) in the lower fp shell are studied systematically within the framework of the cranked relativistic mean field model. The ΔE thus defined, depends predominantly on the f7/2 - d3/2 shell gap, and its evolution as a function of neutron - proton asymmetry. The latter, in turn, depends on the isoscalar - isovector balance in the spin - orbit potential. Therefore, a systematic investigation of the difference ΔE is expected to test quantitatively the predicted shell gaps as a function of isospin. We find that: 1) the conventional NL3 parameter set over estimates the ΔE values, implying that the said shell gap is over - estimated in this parametrization and 2) the largest deviation between the calculated and the experimental values of ΔE is obtained for the nucleus with the smallest asymmetry value in the set of nuclei considered, and that the deviation decreases with increasing asymmetry, indicating that the in RMF parametrization considered, the isoscalar - isovector balance in the spin - orbit potential requires improvement. We carry out a re - fit of the RMF parameters to attempt a remedy to these two problems. We find that in addition to the binding energies and charge radii, if a constraint is put on the f7/2 - d3/2 shell gap in the fit to the Lagrangian parameters, the overall agreement of ΔE with the experiment improves significantly, without disturbing the agreement already achieved for the bulk properties of the nuclei spanning the entire periodic table. At a finer level, however, it is found that the isoscalar - isovector balance in the spin orbit interaction is required to be improved further. A detailed work in this direction is in progress.

Frederica Wilson: Washington-Bound Mad Hatter
The next U.S. congresswoman from Miami has become so synonymous with her hats — 300 of 'em ranging from rhinestone-studded Stetsons to pink muffs to demure brown bowlers — it feels wrong to see her scalp.
But mistaking the woman for the fashion would be a grave mistake. Miami-Dade commissioners made that error when, as principal of Skyway Elementary School, she took dozens of schoolchildren downtown to complain about a recycling business. Tallahassee legislators, who underestimated her, paid the price. And opponents in this year's Democratic primary who deridingly called her "the Hat" were soundly defeated.
Come January, she'll be taking her tough political style to Washington. "It all came from my father," she says, relaxing on a bright orange sofa in her Miami Gardens home. The living room is jammed with carved giraffes and gazelles, and the walls are decorated with bright Caribbean paintings. "He was a civil rights activist right here in Miami, and he always sought justice."
Frederica Wilson
Thirlee Smith Sr., who owned a billiard parlor in Opa-locka, raised Frederica — born February 5, 1942 — in Liberty City. In a then-segregated Magic City, the outspoken businessman got uniforms for local garbage workers, registered young black voters, and mentored fatherless kids.
He also taught Frederica and her brother, Thirlee Jr. (the Miami Herald's first black reporter), not to take injustice sitting down. "We realized that even if you were black, you were allowed to sit at lunch counters if you didn't speak English," Wilson recalls. "Well, we didn't know how to speak Spanish, so we'd just speak gibberish."
Wilson's Bahamian grandmother, also named Frederica, wore a traditional hat and gloves every day. By the time Wilson was in grade school, she too was wearing Davy Crockett hats and elaborate bows to class.
Neither attitude nor fashion statements abated when Wilson became principal at Skyway Elementary in Miami Gardens. She successfully lobbied for the release of mistreated Haitian prisoners and used her students to persuade commissioners to close a $25 million facility called Agripost. "My superintendent told me: 'This is not in the job description of a principal,'" Wilson says. He demanded she stop missing principal meetings to speak to the county commission. "I said OK. Then I went right back to the next commission meeting!"
In the Florida House and Senate, Wilson made her name waging war for extremely unpopular causes: testing inmates for HIV, allowing imprisoned moms to serve time closer to their kids, keeping foster children in one school — even banning "dirty dancing" at high schools. "These are real issues real people are dealing with every day," she says.
Upcoming Events
Once in D.C., she says, "I'm going to pass a bill nationally that bans talking on any kind of phone in your car while there are minors in there."

According to a release from the Brattleboro police, the Vermont State Police crime scene search team was notified and assisted in processing the scene. Eppels body was transported to the Vermont medical examiners Office in Burlington for an autopsy.
Windham County States Attorney Tracy Shriver said that it was unclear what the circumstances were surrounding Eppels death, which she said was unattended. Emergency personnel were called to Eppels home at 2:45 p.m. Wednesday.

The manufacturer must be CHOMPING at the bit..but maybe he is champing as the

12 guage and the 22. Molly coddled mindless milk sops. They are almost as bad as the fools
who post ignorant comments about NY state residents, lumping all of us in with the progressive
cesspool that exists here.
If clearer thinking prevailed you would see that thousands of us are
not in comply mode. But they content themselves with snippets of news, and then declare they
are the "Oracle's" that know everything. I do get a chuckle or two from that attitude. Lest you
forget for the thousand's of us that are standing and are not going to comply, we will be the one's
that will come to assist you. This is not a state to state war, we are simply true Americans,
with a deep seated love for our Constitution. Oh and by the way, thousands of us DID NOT vote
for these turncoats. I won't try to enlighten the Oracle's further their singular brain cell would implode,
and then they would not be able to spew their great and powerful wisdom on these boards.

Wait, What? Ep. 113: Technically Difficult
Posted by: Jeff Lester on January 21, 2013
Categories: Podcasts
Tags: Action!, Al Ewing, Avengers Assemble, B&B, Batman, Batman and Robin, Black Kiss 2, Captain America, Death of the Family, Graeme, Greg Capullo, Howard Victor Chaykin, Jack Kirby, Jeff, Jim Aparo, John Romita JR, John Wagner, Jonathan Hickman, Joseph Gilgun, Misfits, New Avengers, Pat Mills, Patrick Gleason, Peter Tomasi, Rick Remender, Scott Snyder, Shako, Steve Epting, The One-Trick Rip Off, Two Bobs and A Weave, Wait What?
A page from Shotaro Ishinomori's Kikaider, which we didn't even discuss this week but which I kinda adore, nonetheless…
You may not care. In fact, you may be relieved but either way, Graeme and I will not be talking one another's ear off this week so there won't be anything for you to listen to from us next week. Maybe you can get out of the house for a bit? Go for a walk? Realize that although it's probably too late to do that "52 books in 52 weeks" you promised, you can maybe still get in 48 in 48 weeks?
Either way, we are here today, gone tomorrow (by which we mean: next week).
As for that "here today" part–show notes after the jump!
Yeah, we had all kinds of technical problems again…sorry about that. Maybe one day soon, we will try tech solution Omega…but I'm not looking forward to that too much, to be honest. I'm hoping we can come up something a little bit better than using an atomic bomb we worship as a god to blow up the planet…
0:00-8:49: Hello! 113 is apparently an unlucky number? Graeme reports on the bounce houses in the sky, and also a story about a prison break that seems very Beagle Boy-esque.
8:49-27:47: 'Comic news' is a great term because most people would say it's neither. Nonetheless, we discuss the new column by Bob Harras and Bobbie Chase (which they call B&B, but I sort of wish they'd titled "Two Bobs and a Weave"), the news of writers getting pulled off their books before their first issues are even out, etc., etc. Sadly, we have a dose of our infuriatingly intermittent tech problems plaguing us a bit during this conversation (that eventually builds to a somewhat hilarious obsession on Jeff's part about whether or not he's rocking in his chair too much, or at all). Our apologies. Poor DC–once we're done with that, we grouse about their really bad covers, lately. Also, Jeff has a metaphor for the New DC that probably reveals a bit too much about his family past, maybe.
27:47-41:17: And because Marvel doesn't get a free pass (except when they do), we also discuss the upcoming Thanos Rising miniseries and compare/contrast with DC's Birds of Prey debacle. Also, Jeff tries to start an urban legend where if you look in a mirror and say "Mark Badger, Mark Badger, Mark Badger" three times, a Batman miniseries appears. A discussion of how much "there" needs to be there for a comics news story to be a news story…
41:17-41:38: Intermission (Jaunty)!
41:38-53:30: Comic books! Graeme and Jeff discuss New Avengers #2 by Jonathan Hickman and Steve Epting; and Jeff talks about how Marvel is creeping him out a little bit.
53:30-1:00:09: Captain America #3! Graeme isn't reading it; Jeff is, but is somewhat troubled by Cap being less of a Kirbyesque Cap than a Milleresque Cap, and later, while editing the podcast, is a little horrified that this is a complaint he actually made with his face.
1:00:09-1:05:53: Graeme has read the latest issue of Daredevil and then an advance ARC of Paul Pope's The One Trick Rip-Off. After more techie problems, we decided to jump just a bit early and come back with a different (and more reliable) mic.
1:05:53-1:06:15: Intermission (Jazzy)!
1:06:15-1:08:17: Round Three! Graeme has noticed something about the latest Marvel solicitations that suggests they're not reading them especially closely. He also has good news about Avengers Assemble #14?
1:08:17-1:14:57: Batman #16 and Batman and Robin #16! The Death of the Family stuff is just intensely, baroquely fucked up in a way that reminds Jeff of another Batman book that may not be what Scott Snyder and the Bat-team had in mind…
1:14:57-1:23:42: Issues #5 and #6 of Black Kiss 2! It's the grand wrap-up of a this mighty odd sequel from Howard Chaykin.
1:23:42-1:42:13: Questions, finally! Al Ewing asked: Where do you stand on:
1) Vodka And Coke;
2) Christmas Crackers;
3) Dennis The Menace vs Dennis The Menace And Gnasher;
4) Big sacks with 'SWAG' on them vs Big sacks with '$' on them;
5) The 'aggro style' UK comics of the late seventies;
6) Hi-style design-heaviness in US superhero work – could the design sensibility of a David Aja or a Johnathan Hickman replace the hem-hem 'design' sensibility of bendy spines and porn poses and upskirt angles if we all wish really really hard?
7) Bad Machinery/Girls With Slingshots/Dinosaur Comics
1:42:13-1:56:19: Mo Walker asked:
1). If you could put together an Avengers/Justice League style team comprised of Kirby characters, who would make the cut?
2). What are your thoughts on series 4 of Misfits?
1:56:19-1:59:40: JohnK (UK) asked:
1) A revival of Quality's BIG BEN – The Man With No Time For Crime by Al Ewing and J Bone – Yes or No? QUICKLY! Yes or No?
2) Biggest Loss to Comics' archive: ROM, ATARI FORCE or MICRONAUTS(original runs, natch!)
3) Who really owns Marvelman (in less than 10 words)?
4) a) Was "Jimmy Broxton" the artist on KNIGHT & SQUIRE a pseudonym? b)If so, who for?
1:59:40-end: Closing comments. Extra apologies. A notice is made (as it was above) that next week is a skip week and so we will not be around but shall return the week after that.
If all of this sets your glands a-salivatin', then feel free to pull up a stool and being listening now!
Wait, What? Ep. 113: Technically Difficult
As always, we hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Closed for submissions
HISTORY OF ANNUAL ABSTRACT EXHIBIT – Since May 2011 when the First Annual Joseph Miller Abstract Photography Exhibit was held, this yearly artistic exposition has continued to grow in popularity as well as success, and in the process, has become the premier Spring event in the greater photographic community. The Fifth Annual Exhibit received a total of 469 submissions from 115 photographers representing 10 NVACC clubs and its affiliates, along with additional entries from non-affiliated photographers across the United States. The 2015 Joseph Miller Exhibit once again displayed a dazzling variety of talent, skill, creativity and imagination in photographic artistry, and continues to stand as a testament to an ever increasing interest in and love of abstract photography due in large part to the efforts of its founder and namesake.
ELIGIBILITY– All Interested photographers, whether members of NVACC clubs or not, are invited to submit photographic images for inclusion in the exhibit.
- Entries must originate as photographs (image-capture of objects via light sensitivity) made by the entrant.
- All photographic techniques are eligible for consideration but no mixed media, photo collages or videos are allowed.
- Work from any year may be submitted and must be the original work of the photographer.
- The photographer may alter images, either electronically or otherwise.
- Images juried into previous Joseph Miller Abstract Exhibits are not eligible.
SUBMISSION – Two (2) methods are available for submitting images for consideration. The first method is uploading images through the NVACC website, where entry fees can be paid using a credit card, PayPal or by mailing a check. Entrants are not required to have a PayPal account for payment by credit card. Alternatively a CD can be created and mailed, along with a check, directly to the Joseph Miller Center for the Photographic Arts.
All images to be considered for the exhibit must:
- Be submitted as JPEG images at a resolution of 1024 pixels on the longest side.
- Be JPEG files smaller than 2MBs.
- Be JPEG files named with the artwork title. Please avoid using special characters, such as @, &, %, etc in the filename. Numbers, spaces, dashes and underscore are acceptable characters. Example: Hillarys Bag.jpg (rather than the artwork's actual name of "Hillary's Bag").
- Not have any border or embedded marks or logos.
- Not have the maker's name anywhere on the front of the image, whether on the mat or photographic print.
- Have a completed label on the back of each print (see guidance on the entry form).
- Have a label on the CD (if submitted through USPS) with the names of the artwork included.
- Not have the maker's name on the CD (if submitted through USPS).
Photographers submitting CDs through the postal service should complete the ENTRY FORM, including the information requested for each image submitted. Please make sure entries are mailed early enough to reach the Center no later than Friday, February 26, 2016. Please include this form and a check for entry fees along with the CD. Before sending in please verify that the CD is readable and not damaged. CDs will not be returned. Unless there is a written objection by the photographer, images that are juried in to the exhibit may be posted on the NVACC.org website with a copyright statement and credit for the photographer.
DEFINITION OF ABSTRACT – Photography is visual writing, usually depicting familiar subjects such as landscapes, animals, birds, people, architecture, flowers, etc. Conversely, abstracts are non-representational and do not rely upon recognizable subject matter, but rather consist of colors, tones, shapes and textures. If the image has an obvious subject, it is not an abstract. Abstracts may be "created" or "found." "Found" abstracts generally require some isolation in order to render the subject unrecognizable. Abstracts are the poetry of photography, free verse written in color and tone producing feelings of mystery regarding what the image is and what it is trying to say. Abstracts are an art form and like other works of art are felt as well as seen. Some consider abstracts difficult to master or even to understand because of the lack of a subject to "carry" the image. All participants are encouraged to find and create abstract photographs in camera rather than relying on the help of software programs. (For additional information about abstracts, go to the NVACC website and click on Joseph Miller's Page).
JUROR – Joseph Miller has been a well-known photography teacher / mentor, lecturer, writer and judge in the photographic community of Northern Virginia (and beyond) for over 40 years. His Center for the Photographic Arts, opened in 2003, was designed for teaching classes and workshops, and contains a gallery that displays a permanent collection of works by local photographers as well as the largest collection of work in the U.S. by the internationally renowned photographer, Freeman Patterson.
ENTRY FEE – A $25.00 entry fee is required to submit up to three (3) images for jurying, and a supplemental fee of $25.00 for up to three (3) additional images can be paid. No more than six (6) images will be accepted per photographer.
SALES – All inquiries regarding the purchase of artwork will be forwarded to the maker.
AWARDS – Special Merit Awards, chosen by the juror, will be announced at the reception on Sunday, May 8, 2016.
EXHIBIT DETAILS – Images that are juried in to the exhibit must be printed, matted, framed and appropriately labeled for exhibition; ALL accepted images must meet the following requirements:

Albeit it late, here's a portion of my live mix from Slinky SF Sessions. The CDJs were acting up for some of my set, but this is a good 55 minute uninterrupted chunk of it. For more live mixes and info about Slinky, visit www.jamonitproductions.com.

So we were rummaging through our hard drive recently and low and behold, we stumbled upon this 10 year old mix of ours. For some reason, it got shelved and we never put it out. After listening to it, it's not bad so we decided to release it.
It was recorded live on two turntables, a mixer and lawd knows what else. Enjoy it, imperfections and all!
Juicy Dubble
(Scotty James + jlife)
I can't remember the last I programmed a mix that didn't have the dance floor as it's sole purpose. With that in mind I decided to record one strictly for the pleasure of listening to deep techy tunes. You might be able dance to parts here and there but the major of it this is about one thing, experiencing great music that takes you into another space.
Back in the old days, we would call this style music cuddle puddle, X Music or "come down" music and would always play this stuff when we got home from the parties, raves or were tripping at home with friends. I am in a different place in my life now and don't really partake in most of those activities anymore but that doesn't mean I still don't have a soft spot for deep trippy music.
So here you are, with two hours of really great deep techy tunes at your fingertips, what are you going do? I recommend putting on your headphones, closing your eyes and really let this one sink in while you listen. If you let it, this mix will take you another place and bring you back home safe and sound.
Hope you enjoy the listen!

This is the first deep house mix I have put together in quite a while. I decided to finally make this after going through all the deeper house tracks I had been buying over the last 8 months and was blown away by just how many quality tracks I had. This is definitely a tribute to all great music currently being made within the genre.
This mix starts over with that deep jazzy soulful sound that I made a name for myself with back in the 90s. The jazzy stuff gives way to some straight ahead deep vocals. I stay with this vibe for a while ending with to epic instrumental anthems. One features a harmonica and the other a middle-eastern style guitar solo. The instrument section ends with a cool remix of Frankie Knuckles anthem The Whistle song.
From there I get really deep and techy. The last eight songs are very deep, super heady and can take on nice little trip through the outer limits. I had a lot of fun getting back to my deep house roots with this. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.
