GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 280 Graphics Card - Power Consumption TestsThe GTX 280 price continues to fall, so we take the time today to look at a stock clocked model from GIGABYTE.
Power Consumption Tests
Using our new PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a 7,200RPM SATA-II single hard drive is used without CD ROM or many cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power draw on the GIGABYTE offering also manages to be a little lower than the ZOTAC.

Median Salary by Job
1 Pace Plaza
New York, NY 10038-1598
Pace University
Private School, Research University
51 %
10 %
65 %
42 %
The health care industry, the education industry, and the banking industry are just a few of the areas in which Pace grads find work. The most popular professional field seems to be the financial services industry. The marketing, advertising, and media management industry is perhaps the least commonly worked industry among Pace grads, with less than five percent of former students experienced in this area. True to type, Pace alumni go from receiving above-average SAT scores to landing well-paid positions in the workforce. Pace graduates see an estimated starting salary of about $77K.
In the Pace alumni community, men make a median salary of $85K compared to their female counterparts, who earn $69K.
The biggest paychecks among Pace alumni are earned by Corporate Controllers — these former students make around $95K per year. The next biggest paychecks go to Human Resources Directors ($92K) and Physician Assistants (approximately $91K). Relative to other positions, compensation dwindles for Financial Analysts; alumni in this role face average salaries of $56K.
Pace alumni do not feel the need to relocate after graduation, and close to one-half of grads find stable employment in New York. Pace grads also flock to Atlanta, which is home to salaries significantly above average (typical pay is $107K). The city with the lowest median paycheck frequented by Pace alumni is Miami, where earnings average $60K. Nearby White Plains and Stamford also rank high on the list of cities for Pace grads.
Pace alumni can earn the most money (approximately $102K) at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPMCC). The school itself is home to some of the lowest pay, with employees earning an average of $41K.
Among the highest-paid Pace alumni are those with a Juris Doctor (JD), Master of Jurisprudence, or Master of Law (LLM) — they earn close to about $140K per year. Graduates holding a B.A. in Communication fare the worst in terms of compensation with yearly salaries of around $46K.
Many Pace grads have knowledge of Microsoft Excel, with approximately one in eight alumni using this program on the clock. For Pace University grads, proficiency in Operations Management warrants a paycheck that is 55 percent more than other alumni salaries. Also considered top-notch skills are Project Management, Microsoft Office, and Financial Analysis.
Only one-third of alumni for this school enjoy paid vacation days and about one-fourth of alumni get paid sick time. A solid majority of graduates have medical plans, and most respondents have dental insurance. A solid majority of alumni set up a 401(k) to save for retirement. Additional perks enjoyed by Pace University grads include life insurance, a casual working environment, a company-subsidized cell phone, and tuition reimbursement.
Among alumni of similar schools, St John's University grads (who make an average of $68K) earn salaries most similar to Pace alumni. Other schools similar to Pace include The New School, Seton Hall University, and Adelphi University.

Trying to ReFi...What Questions & Answers Need to be Addressed?
Hello everyone,
DH & I are hoping to refinance. We were turned down by current lender BOA because of one late payment--and as part of their Making Homes Affordable program, after several months of working with them & nearly guaranteed it would happen. And, yes, we are uspside down, but have been working so hard for the past year to pay down debt, etc. We are looking at other options. We don't want to get caught off-guard again.
What questions & answers do we need to be asking? I'm assuming:
pre-payment penalties
employment histories
credit reports
current debt
loan to value ratio
closing dates
What the actual payment will be
What the actual closing costs would be
What questions/answers do we need to be asking ahead of time? What ommissions on their part should we be aware of?
What things did you come across that you wished you knew beforehand?
(I am NOT in the least financial saavy, but I am trying to do my homework & trying to understand what needs to be done)
TIA I look forward to you insight & input.
Hi Katklaws,
Your intentions to do your homework are noble & worthy... if only everyone at least cared as much as you do!
NOW... having said that... you appear likely to be trying to bite off far more than you may really be ready to digest & integrate for your best results. Mortgage & equity rebalancing/refinancing is all too frequently done poorly by mediocre LENDING agents (who are at minimum licensed for the process... if not actually financially trained.) The non-financially-trained public is up against steep odds.
FIRST OFF... *how* your details play out is actually much less of an issue for you at this point than *IF* you will actually qualify, given your recent late mortgage payment (which may indeed kill all options until you have that in your past by a minimum of 12 months, maybe 24.)
MORE IMPORTANTLY... your best-rewarded efforts will come from diligently shopping a trustworthy & competent loan planning professional... rather than trying to teach yourself everything such a professional would have to know.
The most important aspect of your refinance is the expertise of the person putting it together.
Dave Donhoff
Leverage Planner
Thank you Dave! I really do respect your expertise & integrity. Thanks for your advise & taking the time to answer.
I suspect that finding someone trustworthy & competent will not be an easy task.
I am that person that must be walking around with the word "Naive" on my forehead! Having been burned in the past, makes one cautious, suspicious, & insecure in their ability to trust their own decisions.
They say there's a sucker born every minute & I am living proof! I will need the Luck. And, Thanks again!
Unfortunately, if you own more on your house than it is worth and your current lender won't work with you, it is basically impossible to refinance. No other lender is going to give you more money than your house is worth. There is no hurt in shopping around, but I think you are going to be frustrated by your lack of options.
As a practical matter, I think your best course will be:
Continue to pay down debt.
Continue to make payments on time.
Hope the housing market rebounds a bit in the meantime.
If you can do those things, you'll be in a much better position a year or 2 from now.
On an investment property, I was "underwater" when the lender decided the property had dropped 25% in value from the purchase price. I had three alternatives--sell it, lose it or come up with the extra equity. I chose the last alternative.
Unfortunately, I agree with Bill. If you are underwater, the Home Affordable Programs are your only hope at the moment. And if your current Lender wouldn't do the loan, you are probably not going to find anyone else to do it. But you should definitely ask around.

Me and my very bad, horrible, awful day!
Yesterday was one of those days where I was thinking that people who have no kids are really lucky! LOL
Where to start....with ds. He has had project after project for school lately. He has ADHD, but he is also kind of lazy when it comes to schoolwork. He is very smart, but when something gives him a bit of challange he is ready to throw in the towel and try to get someone else to do it. I have been having him do parts of the projects on his own but it is such a fight. Last night I realized that he is not understanding the book he is reading for a project. It is at his reading level, but I think he is trying to skim instead of read. So I had to make him sit down with me and read a chapter out loud to me and summarize it page by page. He was mad and fighting me every step of the way on it. He was even pretending he could not pronounce easy words because he wanted me to read the book to him. I ended up angry and laying into him about being lazy and trying to get me to do everything for him. Then I called his dad and POOF ds all of a sudden was able to read! That really made me even more ticked off because then it was totally obvious he was trying to push my buttons!! But I didn't show it and we got through a chapter.
Now onto my younger sd. She likes to spend her time sitting around watching tv or reading books. While I am glad she finally enjoys reading she needs to be more active. She is on the shorter side and is getting a little pudgy. Nothing awful, and we eat healthy. But I am afraid if we don't get her more active now then she will have a weight problem soon. So on nice days we have to force her to go outside and do stuff. Yesterday I gave her the choice of riding her bike or taking the dog for a walk. She took the dog out. At the same time ds and ss were bike riding around the neighborhood. They come home to tell me sd (who is 14) is laying in someones yard with our dog!!!!
So when sd got back I asked her about it. She snottily replied "well I was with the dog!". I had to explain to her that people don't appreciate others on their property and ask her when we have had strangers come lay down on our property?? She continued to argue that she took the dog out like I said. So I told her that if I wanted her sitting around I would have let her stay on the couch....but walking the dog means WALKING, not laying in a strangers yard so they could get mad, or even kidnap her! I swear that younger SD lacks normal common sense. She really acted like I was being mean and there was no reason why she couldn't lay in someone elses yard with our dog!
Then fastforward to bedtime. SS goes to bed around 9pm. We have caught him playing his handheld video games in bed so we make him put them in our bedroom when he goes to bed each night. Hasn't been a problem in weeks. So last night when he went to bed I did not pay attention to if the game was on my dresser. At 11pm I was going to bed and I checked on all the kids. His bedroom door was shut partially, so I pushed it open and there was ss laying in bed playing his video game!!! He looked up at me with shock on his face...he totally knew he was busted. I am thinking that this went on the night before as well because he was like a zombie getting up for school yesterday. So I took his video game and told him it was now mine and he could forget about playing ANY video game/computer games in our house until further notice.
The only child who behaved yesterday was older sd!
I love all our kids...but yesterday was just one of those days!! And here I am pregnant thinking "what am I doing to myself!" LOL

Rose Poems - Poems For Rose
Poems about rose. You can read the best rose poems. Browse through all rose poems.
I. -- Red.
Would that my songs might be
What roses make by day and night --
Distillments of my clod of misery
Into delight.
Soul, could'st thou bare thy breast
As yon red rose, and dare the day,
All clean, and large, and calm with velvet rest?
Say yea -- say yea!
Ah, dear my Rose, good-bye;
The wind is up; so; drift away.
That songs from me as leaves from thee may fly,
I strive, I pray.
II. -- White.
Soul, get thee to the heart
Of yonder tuberose: hide thee there --
There breathe the meditations of thine art
Suffused with prayer.
Of spirit grave yet light,
How fervent fragrances uprise
Pure-born from these most rich and yet most white
Mulched with unsavory death,
Grow, Soul! unto such white estate,
That virginal-prayerful art shall be thy breath,
Thy work, thy fate. read more »

LeBron says he's "kung fu master" after flagrant foul for elbow to Roy Hibbert's head (VIDEO)
Mar 27, 2014, 9:15 AM EDT
LeBron James was the aggressor on Wednesday night and that put him in the center of the action — and the controversy postgame.
At the heart of it was the flagrant foul LeBron earned for his fourth quarter drive that ended up with an elbow across the face of Roy Hibbert, a blow that sent the Pacers' big man to the ground.
LeBron led with his elbow but said after the game wasn't intentional, he wasn't trying to elbow Hibbert. The direct quote is better than that, however.
You will not be a kung fu master until you can snatch the pebble from my hand, grasshopper.
The refs made a good call — if anything LeBron should see a fine from the league for this (and a flagrant 2 and a suspension is not out of the question).
It was a big collision and intentional or not LeBron led with his elbow and hit a defender in the face. That's on him. Intent is not at the heart of this, it's the result.
Hibbert took his time getting up (as he should) and was checked out by team doctors, took the free throws, then went back to the Pacers' locker room (most likely for the league's mandated concussion tests) but he returned the game. The Pacers went on to win 84-83. After the game Hibbert told reporters he didn't remember the collision.
LeBron got the calls he did on the night because he was the aggressor — in the NBA if you attack you get the whistle more often than not. But after a night like this LeBron, you don't get to complain about calls. If you want to complain about something, I'd look at your teammates and the support you got in this game.
Hat tip to Matt Moore of Eye On Basketball for the video.

don't mess with the nba's chosen one
- pillsbury13 - Mar 27, 2014 at 3:10 PM
Oh, how I miss the days when we watched the NBA and someone kept driving to the basket even the announcers would say deliver a hard foul to send a message. Now everyone just cries. How many times does Lebron and others get free throws when they CLEARLY haven't been touched. D-Wade won is first championship because of this. I even remember an on NBA blooper video in the 90s where a referee told a player – "play the game and stop crying you big baby!"
- kclanton80 - Mar 27, 2014 at 4:46 PM
This didn't look intentional to me. There was no exagerated movement towards hibberts face. Lebron was bringing the ball over the top to fade left as he often does. Of course it will be called the dirtiest play ever because Lebron was involved. Maybe Hibbert will think twice about that stupid "verticallity" play they let him get away with.

I have never seen a person demonstrate the importance of blending in the acne medication and also the importance of using products which are non-irritating.
I found that Neutrogina's One Less Stress was superior to the Benzol Perixoide 'On the Spot' formula.

The time-travel mechanic is superbly demonstrated in the movie Edge of Tomorrow. I saw it. It's worth seeing once.
Otherwise, if you want a persistent world without time-travel, then you have either legacy-play or resurrection-play.
I'd lean towards resurrection play like how it's done in GTA. If you get too much heat, let the cops kill you and the heat goes away.
For the story, I'd make the world very superstitious that everything needs to be buried to pass on to the next life. But the PC is cursed to not pass on but to reanimate a day after dying. The PC's main quest is to break this curse so they can go to their blessed afterlife. The benefits of death would be (at least until the NPC's catch on) that enemies would think they beat the character. If they encounter the character again after a death, perhaps they would be terrified of the vengeful spirit that is coming for them. Maybe after breaking into a hard area, not to loot, but to plant an item in a place, pull a sacred lever, talk to someone who is being held captive, etc... the PC can choose to fight their way out, or take some lumps and die whereon they are then buried in the graveyard outside of town. (Hey! Free teleport-ish mechanism!) Of course, dead bodies get stripped and looted unless you incorporate a superstition that anything that is in the possession of someone who dies is "unclean" and will keep the person from passing on to the next life. Anyway, a banking / storage system would be useful to re-equip if necessary. Maybe some not-so-superstitious brigands could loot the PC's corpse (including quest items) whereby the PC would then need to re-equip, track the brigands to their hideout and reclaim all the equipment (and probably more stuff that the brigands also have stolen).
OK. I'm just rambling now. But I clearly see some ways that death can be used strategically and beneficially if designed properly in the game.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Gaborik Dazzles

When Marian Gaborik touches the puck, a buzz instantaneously shoots through Xcel Energy Center. Everyone anticipates something special. And Gaborik, who is playing brilliantly these days, usually delivers. Here's something to think about: If Gaborik hadn't missed 17 games — and labored through a dozen others — because of an early-season groin injury, he surely would be on pace to score 50 goals. Imagine, a card-carrying member of the "check 'em dizzy" Minnesota Wild scoring 50 goals.read on

Counting the Cost | 10 May 2014 09:31 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, China, Ethiopia, Niger
Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, is now also the largest economy on the continent. Its economy is worth $510bn, but Nigeria has some big problems to contend with.
The country is the world's eighth-largest oil exporter, and almost 90 percent of its export earnings are tied to oil. Sixty percent of the population lives in extreme poverty, youth unemployment is close to 80 percent, and on top of that there is the almost daily violence in the north, where rebel group Boko Haram is fighting for a state governed by sharia law. There are chronic power shortages, which can increase the cost of doing business in the country by up to 40 percent. The entire national grid only delivers as much electricity as Qatar, which is not nearly as big or populous a country. And for a country with great oil wealth, there is the mysterious issue of falling oil revenues. This is the case of Lamido Sanusi, the central bank governor, who was suspended after blowing the whistle on a $20bn hole in the accounts of the state oil company. So what is needed to achieve progress? And does Nigeria have a truly strong economy?
On Counting the Cost we discuss these issues with Hendrik du Toit, the CEO of Investec Asset Management.
Ethiopia's dam
Ethiopia plans to build Africa's biggest dam. It will produce 6,000 megawatts of electricity once it is completed, at a cost of $4bn. Ethiopia plans to pay the cost by itself.
The dam is part of a massive public spending programme on power, roads and railways in one of Africa's fastest-growing economies. For much of the past decade the Ethiopian economy has grown by more than 10 percent a year, attracting investors from across the globe. But that was not the case this year, when the economy has shown signs of a slowdown.
The government recently declared that economic growth has dropped to 9.7 percent from an earlier forecast of 11 percent. This is partly blamed on Ethiopia's decision to fund the dam itself. Although analysts believe the Great Renaissance Dam project could stifle economic growth, the government insists that the project will have benefits beyond Ethiopia.

Alibaba: Chinese e-commerce giant
Alibaba is the online powerhouse that makes more money than Amazon and eBay combined. Outside of China, few people have heard of it. But within the country, Alibaba is the dominant online shopping portal.
The company had a humble beginning. It was founded by Jack Ma, 15 years ago, in a one-room apartment. Today, Alibaba controls 45 percent of Chinese e-commerce. It has generated revenues of more than $6.5bn in the nine months to the end of December, making a net profit of just under $3bn.
Now the Chinese e-commerce giant is planning to go public in the United States. It has filed for an initial public offering that analysts expect will raise between $15-20bn, which could make it bigger than Facebook's IPO. Alibaba's total value has been estimated at $200bn.

Hey lovelies! Guess who's back in the beautiful US of A? This blogger.
Life is good- I'm happy to be home, as always, but I won't lie- I'm feeling the post-Asia blues a bit more acutely than usual. Life here is just so much more expensive and boring (no offense, Michigan!), and I miss the chaos and the cheap beer and the plastic stools of Southeast Asia.
The best part of being home- my little brother and sister.
Regardless, now that I'm home the blog is back on! I've missed blogging a ton in the last four months, and not having my laptop definitely changed my travels for better and for worse.
And while I'm trying to stay grateful and enjoy the moment, my head is clouded with worry: worry about finding a job, settling down (or not?) and especially about replenishing my very lean bank accounts. (How one can spend $3,000 dollars in one month in Southeast Asia is a mystery to me, but here I stand.)
I've never had less of a plan than I do right now, and the world is truly my oyster- my current job hunt stretches from Shanghai to Paris to San Francisco. I may be anywhere in a year.
Anyway, enough about me- how are you guys? How are your summers going so far? Any travel plans?
Tons and tons of bisous,
Ashley Fleckenstein

On 5/25/13 it was posted that Sheldon Adelson just donated an additional $40 million for Birthrite for the coming year. Isn't it wonderful what the 1% are doing for the future of Judaism? This brings to $180 million for his funding for this positive program. What's wrong with funding programs that expose our youth to our culture? By the way, I just got back from a Jewish tour of Cuba and met the Jewish community in Cienfuegos. Two of their Jewish youth have been on Birthrite and will participate in the upcoming Maccabi games in soccer.
