VIENNA, Ohio (WKBN) — Friday is the first Friday of Lent, and that means area churches are vying for peoples' dinner dollars for the next six weeks.
"It's a good money maker for the church," said Patty Infante, a volunteer at St. Brendan's Church fish fry.
With the rising costs of necessities like utilities, volunteers said the money raised from serving dinners is great.
"All our money goes back to the church to help operate the church and help cover expenses," Infante said.
Bob Rose, a volunteer at St. Thomas the Apostle in Vienna, agreed.
"It's important for the church. It gives the church the flexibility to buy the stuff they need," Rose said.
Both churches said they can serve upwards of 700 people each Friday, and with dinners going for about $10 a plate, that's some serious cash.
"It varies from year to year. It depends a lot on the weather. Like we should have a good day today because it's nice out. It's 45 degrees. We've had times when we were snowed in and we didn't make hardly anything, but we'll make close to $7,000 today," Rose said.
But it's not just about the money.
"We do it not just to make money, but to bring the people together," Infante said.
Volunteers said that although it takes a lot of preparation and hard work, it's rewarding to see the finished product.

I would like to have a small piece of rhizome to plant. I would even be willing to pay for it, if you don't want to much. |

I have a 3 culm plant, 6 foot tall in the yard... I could possibly get a nice rhizome section from it as i see it stretched about 3 foot from the closest culm. Waiting to see if a new culm will emerge before I cut off anything. |
Please let me know if you get a new culm so that you will have a rhizome for me. How much would you want for the rhizome? Thank you for writing. Ken |

Bill Gates' Patents
We were asked this question-- Bill Gates of Microsoft, how many patents?
The answer today-- all patent applications-- is 54; here's the list.
Interestingly, some have nothing to do with Microsoft-esque computing, such as this one that shows Searete LLC as the Assignee, "Injectable controlled release fluid delivery system"--
Embodiments of a material delivery device including a deformable reservoir and associated controllable output mechanism are described. Methods of use and control of the device are also disclosed. According to some embodiments, a material delivery device may be placed in an animal in order to controllably dispense at least one material into the animal. The material delivery device may include a programmable mechanism to control the release of the material into the animal. In selected embodiments, a remote controller may be used to program or to control the material delivery device. Some embodiments are described wherein a magnetic field, an electric field, or electromagnetic control signal may be used.
Also, Gates appears to have a new, stealthy company called BGC3. The logo is below:

Siegfried Lenz, one of the great writers of German post-war literature is dead. He died on 7 October 2014, surrounded by his family. He was 88 years old.... more
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 16.10.2010
In 1968 a number of editors at the Suhrkamp publishing house staged a protest against the publisher Siegfried Unseld. Sandra Kegel reads a newly published chronicle of the uprising, and it turns out that Unseld was taking plenty of notes! He finally triumphed over the rebels ...

Re:Everyone is a potential criminal in L.A. (405 comments)
So, make the Abnegation the leaders and you're all set. Except then the psychos in the Erudite will envy that control and will start a war to gain it. Oh, and Marcus will be acting as an Abnegation while he's really a self serving psychopath who learned that to hold power he could act as a selfless person.
Funny - I though Divergent was poorly written drivel (around a somewhat entertaining story), but as a reaction to your post it seems pretty intelligent.
Re:A lot of hunters are asshats (397 comments)
3 to 4 weeks - not months. And it will be on the ballot this fall to outlaw it. It's a trickier vote than you'd think too. On the surface, baiting seems like cheating to me as a bow and firearm hunter, but I have not hunted bear. I know that there is a population problem in Maine and there are public safety concerns as the move into more suburban and urban areas. I also know from my years in the woods (hunting, camping, hiking, etc) that they are very hard to spot. I've only seen a handful of bears in the woods and only one that I might have been able to get a shot off on if I'd been hunting for it. State Biologists are currently supporting the baited bear hunt as a way to control the population.
Back to the topic though, I certainly don't support drones for hunting. At least not for animals like moose. Here in Maine I've never known anyone who's had a moose tag and come back without one. Maybe in Alaska it's different, but they don't appear to be all that hard to hunt (though I've never had a moose tag myself).
Re:When you have a bad driver ... (961 comments)
My physics class in high school taught me that the rolling coefficient of friction is higher than sliding, thus stopping you faster. 23 years of winter driving in Maine has taught me that ABS (or pumping the pedal if you don't have ABS) will stop you in a shorter distance.
Re:When you have a bad driver ... (961 comments)
Wrong -
American liberalism: You can do whatever you want so long as it's the popular thing.
American libertarianism: You can do whatever you want.
And if you're right about what everyone else's liberalism is, maybe I'm a liberal. I haven't seen evidence of that though.
More rugged (495 comments)
I have a flip-phone at this point and it's held up reasonably (Samsung Convoy 2), but it costs more to replace it with another rugged flip-phone than to "buy" a new smart phone now. Give me a rugged smart phone with reasonable reception and I'll consider it, but right now the only choice (sharing minutes with family on Verizon) is that Casio that can't pick a signal no matter where you are.
Re:Going, going, not quite gone (385 comments)
"Can't yet move?" There are an awful lot of people out there living in areas without high speed internet by choice who still like to watch a movie now and then. Not everybody wants an urban or suburban lifestyle.
Very close to my take on it (732 comments)
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie version of Ender's Game, but agree wholeheartedly with the reviewer's take on what succeeded and what failed. In fact, I probably enjoyed it so much because I expected much less. The glaring failures were all necessary to make a successful movie, but they still managed to indicate the most important philosophical points. Yes, Graff was harder than in the book (and Anderson's softness was used to make up for this), Bean was introduced too early and wasn't adversarial at first like he should have been, and what were they thinking with the romantic overtones with Petra... But we know why Ender did what he did and how it affected him, and that didn't change from the book.
My one sadness about this movie is that it didn't inspire my son to read the book (he started it last year, read the first paragraph of Graff's pre-chapter conversation, and decided he didn't want to read it). But at least my copy is now on loan to one of his friends who was inspired to read it.
Re:Still Be Purchased (443 comments)
Maybe it's just the area I live in, but I know absolutely nobody who owns anything larger than an F150 (or equivalent) who doesn't use it for things that a smaller truck wouldn't work for*. Unless you count the SUVs being used as family haulers. Even then - kids are more involved these days in travel sports with lots of equipment requirements. Being limited to a sub-compact doesn't work with more than one kid anymore. Granted, most could get by with a wagon or minivan, but the SUV isn't as ridiculous as people make them out to be.
* side note - I actually know several people who don't want a larger truck so they're hauling 8000+ pound trailers with trucks rated for 7000 or less. I'd rather have them driving the 350 even though the 150 (certain models without the trailer fully loaded) would do.
Re:Still Be Purchased (443 comments)
Ever tried to plow a yard with your Ranger? Haul a 5th wheel? Run a construction company? You might not need a 350, I don't need a 350 (though I'd like something bigger than what I've got to handle a bigger trailer and get me plowed without relying on a hired plow guy), but many people certainly do.
Re:Right to Choose (851 comments)
Devil's Advocate time here. I've long since stopped caring about the abortion debate, but how does that make it different from the abortion debate? The whole abortion debate is over whether abortion DOES put "people in their care at risk". Is the fetus a person, in other words.
Re:Arbitrary Labels (862 comments)
To some, sports is religion.
Re:Target audience (76 comments)
Have you met any rednecks? They may not make much money, but they will blow all their credit on something like this. And their kids credit, neighbor's credit, and the cash from that liquor store they knocked over.
Re:Here we go! (303 comments)
Funny - I really enjoy the beginning of the Silmarillion, but as many times as I've read about half way through the book I just cannot finish it. It holds my attention very well to a point (and it's been many years, so I couldn't even tell you what that point is anymore), but then gets rather long-winded. I want to read the rest because I keep hearing about all of these great stories that I haven't gotten to yet, but I just haven't been able to get there. Maybe next time I start at the mid-point.
Re:The most used ten chords (576 comments)
I also dislike a lot of "modern metal", but I don't really care about understanding the words. Which is very fortunate since I very much enjoy folk metal and don't understand more than a few words of Finnish or Swedish (words I happened to pick up from listening to folk metal). What I don't like about a lot of the modern bands is the fact that they focus more on the aggression than the music. Yeah - having a good angry rhythm is great, but if the "melody" consists of one or two notes played fast with no variation, it gets awfully boring. On the other hand, if you've got a guitarist throwing more notes than should be humanly possible out there, but has no ear for melody it's just as bad.
I'll second your list of Tyr, Subway to Sally, and Skycad, and I'll also add in Finntroll and Korpiklaani as a couple bands I consider "required listening" for folk metal.
Re:Scary (447 comments)
Mr. Smith was hanging out on Acacia Avenue closer to 30 years ago. I knew his neighbor Charlotte. She lived across the way at #22, but that was in 1982.
Re:twitter, I like you (542 comments)
Considering that the link you provided has plenty of responses saying the same thing, I'm pretty sure you know what he meant. Just in case, here it is in plain english. The article you linked to showed what Android devices looked like before the iPhone and iPad came out. History tells us that the iPhone came out before the first Android phone. Therefore there was no Android device that looked different prior to the first iPhone like the article claimed. In fact, the picture showed a series of Windows-based devices in the "before iPhone" pictures. It is therefore a bad article and shouldn't be used as a reference whether you're wrong or right.
Personally, I abandoned the whole smart-phone thing as a bad addiction, but I won't buy an iOS-based device for my house. My computer is too valuable to install iTunes on. That and they're over-priced.
Re:And you choose the NFL as your example? (257 comments)
As a Red Sox fan who doesn't live or die by how the team is doing, I probably watch more Sox-Yankees match-ups than the rest of the baseball season combined. I don't think those games are too slow-paced. Yeah - they take forever, but it's the Sox and the Yankees! I can watch that game for 6 hours with a good group of guys and be very happy about it!
Of course, it's still better to watch how the Patriots or the Bruins are doing on any given game day.
Re:Yeah... that is generous (1167 comments)
There are people working and claiming to not be able to keep themselves housed or fed. Ask them to bum a cigarette or borrow their smart phone to look something up on the internet though... Most of them have money to spend on those things.
Re:Lovecraft AND Metallica? (172 comments)
Made much less remarkable by the fact that "The Thing That Should Not Be" by Metallica is, in fact, based on Lovecraft.

One source of human Salmonella infection is associated with pet reptiles and these cases are often serious � sometimes causing septicaemia, meningitis or even death, especially among children and those at risk due to a compromised immune system.
A high percentage of snakes carry the food-poisoning bug Salmonella, but until this study we didn't know whether the snakes became infected through eating contaminated food, or by another route.
Dr Matthias Schr�ter of the Institute of Public Health, Northrhine Westphalia in Germany said: "This study sheds light into the transmission of Salmonella. Recently there has been an increase in the number of cases of reptile-associated infection with Salmonella. It is important that people who handle snakes regularly or keep them as pets take appropriate precautions against becoming infected. This knowledge will help in the battle against the transmission of this sometimes fatal bug."

Susan, I have no idea what variety they are. An iris is an iris to me... I thought it was a black iris, but they don't look very black. I got it so many years ago, started out with one bulb or tuber, whatever they are and now it is everywhere in my flower beds! LOL |

Ranbir Soon to Direct a Film
By SUBHASH K JHA
Two films old only, and he wants to take up direction already to revive his grandfather's R K Films' flagging banner.
And, if newcomer Ranbir Kapoor is to be believed, he would have taken up a home production earlier, only he had already accepted a lot of acting work outside. "My plan got delayed, but now I'm working on it," Ranbir told BT with an air of bravado. "Things will fall into place very shortly. I'll star in the film and direct it. Is that too much responsibility?" Yes, it certainly is! "But I don't think so," argued Neetu and Rishi Kapoor's son. "I'm passionate about being a director. I've lots to say. And I hope audiences accept me as a director as much as they have as an actor."
Raj Kapoor would love his enthusiasm. For Ranbir is clear that his home production will be a celebration of cinema. "It will bring a smile to the face, a tear to the eye, that RK Films was famous for," he promised. But Papa Rishi might not find a spot in it. "We get lots of offers to act together, and I'd love to share camera space with him, but Dad's busy with several acting assignments," Ranbir revealed.
Comparisons with Rishi, that Prince of Romance in the action era of angry young man Amitabh Bachchan and he-man Dharmendra, are unavoidable. But Ranbir said, "I'm not making a conscious effort to walk in my father's footsteps, though he's my favourite actor and I don't mind being compared with him. But I don't act or dance like him, I want to be myself on screen."
He talked about his latest (and second only) release. His role, apparently, was written with Shah Rukh Khan in mind. "Aditya Chopra had the script for some time," admitted Ranbir. "When the role was offered to me, I grabbed it, I wanted to be part of something that was so young, so today." Not to mention, the chance to work with Bipasha, Minissha and Deepika. "In Saawariyan, I didn't get the girl, so God made up for that," he joked. Who was he best with on screen? "I cringe when I see myself on screen, so I avoid looking, but people have liked my rapport with Bipasha," he said. Yes, there was also a role for Katrina Kaif in the film, but her character apparently was omitted from the final script. Does he regret that? "Why should I," Ranbir asked, "I'll have plenty of other opportunities to work with Katrina."
Meanwhile, he's got Ayaan Mukherjee's Wake Up Sid to look forward to. Shooting begins in October and is slated to wind up by January. Ranbir is happy to co-star with the sultry Konkana Sensharma. ("She's effortless, just to hang around her is an honour!") And he's got films by Raj Kumar Santoshi, Shimit Amin and Prakash Jha on hand. "I'm listening to one script every day. But my aim is not superstardom. My target is to achieve what my grandfather did," he said. Raj Kapoor must also be proud… and hopeful.

Retribution Paladin DPS Guide (WoD 6.0.3)
Welcome to our Retribution Paladin DPS guide for World of Warcraft WoD 6.0.3. Here, you will learn everything you need to know about playing a Retribution Paladin in a raid environment, although most of the content also applies to normal and heroic dungeons.
This guide has been reviewed and approved by Shibbx, one of the best Retribution Paladins in the world, who raids in Envy.
If you want to read all about the Patch 6.0.2 changes and learn how they affect your character, make sure to read our Paladin Transition Guide!
In single target DPS, the Retribution specialisation is currently performing well, compared to most other classes. While it is not at the top of the DPS rankings, it is certainly worth bringing to raids.
In AoE DPS, Retribution does decently, but certainly does not shine.
To make it easy to navigate the guide, we have split it into 7 pages:
- Builds, Talents, and Glyphs: learn how to choose your talents and glyphs;
- Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities: master your rotation and your cooldowns;
- Buffs, Debuffs, and Useful Abilities: discover your arsenal of useful abilities;
- Statistics Priority: read up on the respective values of your statistics;
- Gems, Enchants, and Consumables: choose the best gems, enchantments, etc.;
- Macros and Addons: step up your game with useful macros and addons;
- Gearing Up and Best in Slot: find the best gear you can wear.
- RET help
- Avenger´s Shield Proc and Sacred Shield
- A little Help With my Paladin :)
- Am I ready to heal HM normal?

Some new stages were introduced exclusively for this version as well as bonus modes like survival. Since the Street Fighter games have relied on a 6-button pad layout, the overall control was significantly altered on this Game Boy Advance version to only four buttons of weak and strong punches and kicks.CharactersAkumaRyuKenE. HondaChun-LiGuileZangiefDhalsimBlankaBalrogVegaSagatM. BisonCammyDee JayT. HawkFei-LongCritical ReceptionGame Informer gave the review scores of 9 and 8.75 out of ten. Justin wrote, "...The sprites are very detailed, and show up clearly on the GBA screen, even in less than optimal lighting... Amazingly, gameplay is near perfect, even with only four buttons. It's kind of tough to quickly tap a button for medium attacks, but you get used to it. Quarter-circle and charge specials are pulled off without problem."Reiner wrote, "...it's just as amazing as any of the SNES SF ports. The bonus options add some replay value, but as a while, this fine release is purely nostalgic."

I really think it would be funny as H@ll if the baiting other cosumers was just more Black & Decker Battery Packs. I mean, I would be a little irritated (if I ever get fast enough to get one today) to discover it was a B &D. But it would still be funny.

There have already been not one, but two Bags of Crap thrown into the mix.
Wow, this is the first time I've ever heard the daily wootcast, and it's funny. I've been looking at woot.com a lot lately (heard about it from a friend, and we discussed the last woot-off and the random bag of goodies one could buy, etc). Today I also purchased my first thing - a shirt-woot. But I digress! Basically, is there anywhere we can download the wootcasts? I like the song, it made me laugh.

How long does it usually take to get a confirmation? I made it clear thru the money part, but still not sure if "it took".
this is the best April fool's joke ever.
That was a creative podcast... I have a feeling I'll be dreaming of repeatedly hitting the refresh button on my browser and watching those orange flashy lights while waiting for a Baggie O' Confusion... and for weeks to come. And wondering how many people actually bought those backup batteries.
psypio wrote:What exactly might one find in these much sought after Bags O' Crap?
If you have to ask, then you don't want to know. But seriously... If you want to know, try looking in past Bag of Random Crap posts. People love to report on what they get. Mostly you will get a box (not a bag) with junk left over from woot's past items. Or not. It really is random. It could be pens, cap guns, boxing gloves, cheap plastic toys, camera bags (most people think this is the "bag"), beer mugs, shirts, returned merchandise, etc. But some lucky people have received dvd players (working and not), all-in-one printer/copier/fax, Roombas, Scoobas, Nintendo Wiis, Sony PS3s, Plasma TV, etc.
I don't know guys, my GF just caught me wooting off, I may not be able to woot for a while...

I'm sad... it appears as though my Bundle of Chinchillas did not go through... and that the woot off is over... I hope not! So sad... so very very sad. I was looking forward to another golden opportunity to snag me some of those quality battery packs, gotta stock up for the next alien invasion!
I love this, i downloaded it and i'm going to try and make it my ringtone. woot! *giggles*
thats just great doin the bag o crap on a school day instead of doin it over spring break when the real wootoff was there!!!

Philip Morris International Inc. (PMI) Announces Leadership Succession Plan
Regulatory News:
The Board of Directors of Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE / Euronext Paris: PM) today announced that André Calantzopoulos was appointed Chief Executive Officer to become effective immediately following the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 8, 2013. Mr. Calantzopoulos was also nominated for election to the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. He has served as PMI's Chief Operating Officer since the company's spin-off on March 28, 2008. Louis Camilleri, PMI's current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will remain as Chairman of the Board and as an employee of the company.
Since the spin-off, Messrs. Camilleri and Calantzopoulos have worked closely together in their respective roles as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. Under their combined leadership, PMI has solidified its position as the largest and most profitable international tobacco company, while expanding its global market share, excluding China and the USA, to a record 28.8% in 2012. Among PMI's substantial achievements under their combined leadership since the spin-off through year-end 2012:
- Total Shareholder Return of 103.5% versus the S&P 500 Index (20.6%);
- Returned over $50 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases;
- Met, or exceeded, the high end of its adjusted diluted EPS annual growth target of 10-12%, excluding currency, each year;
- Increased its dividend each year for a cumulative increase of 84.8%; and
- Repurchased 489 million shares, or 23.2% of the shares outstanding after the spin-off, at an average price of $56.96 per share.
Lucio A. Noto, PMI's independent Presiding Director, said: "Louis has assembled and led a tremendous team, as demonstrated by PMI's outstanding performance as an independent public company. His close working relationship with André as they shared responsibility for leading the company, together with André's many achievements on the operational side of the business, make this decision the culmination of a rigorous and well executed plan of succession. The Directors have greatly appreciated the transparency with which Louis and André have interacted with the Board. On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Louis for his steadfast devotion to the company and the tremendous results achieved over a lengthy and stellar career. The company and its shareholders, employees and directors owe Louis a tremendous debt of gratitude for his unrivalled service."

Whether you're single or married to a homebody, being a solo traveler on a group trip—where coupledom is often the norm—can leave you feeling like a third, or thirteenth, wheel. But that's changing as more travelers hit the road by themselves. In 2009, 22.2 million out of 170 million Americans traveling for leisure purposes traveled alone, according to the U.S. Travel Association. As a result, more travel companies are marketing to the solo crowd with offers on everything from dropping the dreaded "single supplement"—a surcharge on top of published double-occupancy rates—to matching single travelers up with like-minded companions.
Tauck World Discovery, for example, has more than 40 tours and cruise departures where the single surcharge is reduced. On top of saving anywhere from about 60 to 80 percent off the normal single supplement, the special pricing virtually guarantees that other solo travelers will be on those trips. Country Walkers offers private tours that can be made up of women only, many of whom are keen to avoid the meat-market mentality of some "singles-only" tours and cruises. Absolute Travel provides a service that pairs compatible clients who would prefer not to take a trip alone. Even adventure outfitters are gearing expeditions to solo travelers: kayak specialist H2Outfitters plans paddling excursions along the coastline of Montenegro for "like-minded singles."
While many singles-only departures aren't intended as matchmaking opportunities, some are. The important thing is to quiz the outfitter. Even for regular departures, a good company should be able provide you with a breakdown of the group by gender, age, singles, and couples. And if you decide to go it alone, ask the operator if it will match you with a roommate to avoid the single-supplement.

What if you can't afford that second R9 295X2?
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 26, 2014 - 05:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, radeon, r9 295x2, R9 290X
Through hard work or good luck you find yourself the proud owner of an R9 295X2 and a 4K display but somehow the performance just isn't quite good enough. You can't afford another X2 though there is an R9 290X in your price range but you just aren't sure if it will help your system out at all. That is where [H]ard|OCP steps in with this review where they prove that tri-fire in this configuration does indeed work. Not only does it work, it allows you to vastly increase your performance over a 295X2 or to improve the performance somewhat while raising your graphics settings to new highs. For those using 5760x1200 Eyefinity you probably already have your graphics options cranked; this upgrade will still offer you a linear increase in performance. Not bad if you have the money to invest!
"Will adding a single AMD Radeon R9 290X video card to the AMD Radeon R9 295X2 work? Will you get triple-GPU performance, ala TriFire CrossFire performance? This just might be a more financially feasible configuration for gamers versus QuadFire that provides a great gaming experience in Eyefinity and 4K resolutions."

NVIDIA Tegra K1 Benchmarks Spotted
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile | May 22, 2014 - 04:58 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tegra k1, nvidia, iris pro, iris, Intel, hd 4000
The Chinese tech site, Evolife, acquired a few benchmarks for the Tegra K1. We do not know exactly where they got the system from, but we know that it has 4GB of RAM and 12 GB of storage. Of course, this is the version with four ARM Cortex-A15 cores (not the upcoming, 64-bit version based on Project Denver). On 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited, it was capable of 25737 points, full system.
Image Credit: Evolife.cn
You might remember that our tests with an Intel Core i5-3317U (Ivy Bridge), back in September, achieved a score of 25630 on 3DMark Ice Storm. Of course, that was using the built-in Intel HD 4000 graphics, not a discrete solution, but it still kept up for gaming. This makes sense, though. Intel HD 4000 (GT2) graphics has a theoretical performance of 332.8 GFLOPs, while the Tegra K1 is rated at 364.8 GFLOPs. Earlier, we said that its theoretical performance is roughly on par with the GeForce 9600 GT, although the Tegra K1 supports newer APIs.
Of course, Intel has released better solutions with Haswell. Benchmarks show that Iris Pro is able to play Battlefield 4 on High settings, at 720p, with about 30FPS. The HD 4000 only gets about 12 FPS with the same configuration (and ~30 FPS on Low). This is not to compare Intel to NVIDIA's mobile part, but rather compare Tegra K1 to modern, mainstream laptops and desktops. It is getting fairly close, especially with the first wave of K1 tablets entering at the mid-$200 USD MSRP in China.
As a final note...
There was a time where Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, said that the difference between high-end and low-end PCs "is something like 100x". Scaling a single game between the two performance tiers would be next-to impossible. He noted that ten years earlier, that factor was more "10x".
Now, an original GeForce Titan is about 12x faster than the Tegra K1 and they support the same feature set. In other words, it is easier to develop a game for the PC and high-end tablet than it was to develop an PC game for high-end and low-end machines, back in 2008. PC Gaming is, once again, getting healthier.
AMD Radeon R9 Prices Have Leveled Out, R9 280 Drops to $249
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 15, 2014 - 06:16 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: radeon, R9 290X, r9 290, r9 280x, r9 280, amd
Just the other day AMD sent out an email to the media to discuss the current pricing situation of the Radeon R9 series of graphics cards. This email started with the following statement.
You've seen many articles, discussions online about the AMD Radeon™ R9 lineup – especially chatter about pricing and availability. As we've talked about it before, the demand for the R9 lineup has been nothing but astonishing, and went well beyond our most optimistic expectations. That created a situation where gamers weren't able to purchase their desired R9 graphics card.
Clearly AMD would not bring up the subject if the current situation was BAD news so guess what? All seems to be back normal (or expected) in terms of AMD Radeon R9 pricing and card availability. Take a look at the table below to get an idea of where Radeon's currently stand.
Amazon.com | Newegg.com | |
Radeon R9 295X2 | $1524 | $1499 |
Radeon R9 290X | $549 | $529 |
Radeon R9 290 | $379 | $399 |
Radeon R9 280X | $289 | $299 |
Radeon R9 280 | $249 | $249 |
Radeon R9 270X | $199 | $189 |
Radeon R9 270 | $169 | $179 |
There is one price change that differs from the products' launch - the SEP of the Radeon R9 280 has dropped from $279 to $249. Nothing dramatic but a nice change.
Maybe most interesting is this line from the AMD email.
Now that product is available and at suggested pricing, these prices will remain stable. No more madness like you saw in Q1.
That emphasis is AMD's. I'm not quite sure how the company thinks they can keep a tight control on pricing now if it wasn't able to do so before, but more than likely, with the rush for coin mining hardware somewhat dying off, the prediction will hold true. (As a side note, there appears to be some discounts to be found on used Radeon hardware these days...)
Of course the AMD bundling promotion known as Never Settle Forever is still going strong with these new prices as well. Scott wrote up a story detailing this latest incarnation of the promotion and he and I both agree that while free is always good great, the age of most of the titles in the program is a bit of a problem. But AMD did note in this email that they have "lined up a few brand new games to add to this promotion, and they'll [sic] be sharing more info with you in the next few weeks!"
Xiaomi MiPad Tablet is Tegra K1 Powered
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors, Mobile | May 15, 2014 - 05:02 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, xaiomi, mipad, tegra k1
Tegra K1 is NVIDIA's new mobile processor and this first to implement the Kepler graphics architecture. In other words, it has all of the same graphics functionality as a desktop GPU with 364 GigaFLOPs of performance (a little faster than a GeForce 9600 GT). This is quite fast for a mobile product. For instance, that amount of graphics performance could max out Unreal Tournament 3 to 2560x1600 and run Crysis at 720p. Being Kepler, it supports OpenGL 4.4, OpenGL ES 3.1, DirectX 11 and 12, and GPU compute languages.
Xiaomi is launching their MiPad in Beijing, today, with an 8-inch 2048x1536 screen and the Tegra K1. They will be available in June (for China) starting at $240 USD for the 16GB version and going up to $270 for the 64GB version. Each version has 2GB of RAM, an 8MP rear-facing camera, and a 5MP front camera.
Now, we wait and see if any Tegra K1 devices come to North America and Europe - especially at that price point.
NVIDIA Titan Z Missed Its Release Date
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | May 12, 2014 - 08:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: titan z, nvidia, gtx titan z, geforce
To a crowd of press and developers at their GTC summit, NVIDIA announced the GeForce GTX Titan Z add-in board (AIB). Each of the two, fully unlocked, GK110 GPUs would each have access to 6GB of GDDR5 memory (12GB total). The card was expected to be available on May 8th but has yet to surface. As NVIDIA has yet to comment on the situation, many question whether it ever will.
And then we get what we think are leaked benchmarks (note: two pictures).
One concern about the Titan Z was its rated 8 TeraFLOPs of compute performance. This is a fairly sizable reduction from the theoretical maximum of 10.24 TeraFLOPs of two Titan Black processors and even less than two first-generation Titans (9 TeraFLOPs combined). We expected that this is due to reduced clock rates. What we did not expect is for benchmarks to show the GPUs boost way above those advertised levels, and even beyond the advertised boost clocks of the Titan Black and the 780 Ti. The card was seen pushing 1058 MHz in some sections, which leads to a theoretical compute performance of 12.2 TeraFLOPs (6.1 TeraFLOPs per GPU) in single precision. That is a lot.
These benchmarks also show that NVIDIA has a slight lead over AMD's R9 295X2 in many games, except Battlefield 4 and Sleeping Dogs (plus 3DMark and Unigine). Of course, these benchmarks measure the software reported frame rate and frame times and those may or may not be indicative of actual performance. While I would say that the Titan Z appears to have a slight performance lead over the R9 295X2, although a solid argument for an AMD performance win exists, it does so double the cost (at its expected $3000 USD price point). That is not up for debate.
Whichever card is faster, AMD's is half the price and available for purchase right now.
So, until NVIDIA says anything, the Titan Z is in limbo. I am sure there exists CUDA developers who await its arrival. Personally, I would just get three Titan Blacks since you are going to need to manually schedule your workloads across multiple processors anyway (or 780 Tis if 32-bit arithmetic is enough precision). That is, of course, unless you cannot physically fit enough GeForce Titan Blacks in your motherboard and, as such, you require two GK110 chips per AIB (but not enough to bother writing a cluster scheduling application).
NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti on Thunderbolt 2 by DIYers
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Mobile | May 7, 2014 - 02:26 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Thunderbolt 2, thunderbolt, nvidia, GeForce GTX 780 Ti
Externally-attached GPUs have been a topic for many years now. Numerous companies have tried, including AMD and Lucid, but no solution has ever been a widely known and available product. Even as interfaces increase in bandwidth and compatibility with internal buses, it has never been something that a laptop salesperson could suggest to users who want to dock into a high-performance station at home. At best, we are seeing it in weird "coin mining" racks to hang way more GPUs above a system than could physically mount on the motherboard.
Apparently that has not stopped the DIY community, according to chatter on Tech Inferno forums. While the above video does not really show the monitor, MacBook Pro, and GPU enclosure at the same time, let alone all wired together and on, it seems reasonable enough. The video claims to give the MacBook Pro (running Windows 8.1) access to a GeForce GTX 780 Ti with fairly high performance, despite the reduced bandwidth. Quite cool.
Check out the forum post for a few more details.
PowerColor Teasing Dual GPU Graphics Card With Massive Air Cooler
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 6, 2014 - 03:36 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: r9 295x2, powercolor, hawaii, dual gpu, devil 13
PowerColor has been teasing a new graphics card on its Facebook page. The photos show a macro shot of the Devil 13 logo along with captions hitting at the new card being a dual GPU monster including one caption referring the upcoming Devil 13 as a "dual beast."
PowerColor's previous Devil 13 branded graphics card was the Radeon HD 7990 Devil 13 which contained two HD 7970 "Tahiti" GPUs on one PCB. Coincidentally, AMD recently launched a new dual GPU reference design based around two R9 290x "Hawaii" GPUs called the R9 295x2. It is still rumor and speculation at this point, but the timing and leaked photos seem to point squarely at the upcoming Devil 13 card being the first air cooled custom R9 295x2!
Adding credence to the rumors, leaked photos have appeared online with a PCB backplate that appears to match the backplate shown in the official teaser photo. The leaked photos show an absolutely beastly triple slot graphics card that places two GPUs in CrossFire on a single custom PCB powered by four 8-pin PCI-E power connectors and cooled by a gargantuan HSF comprised of an aluminum fin stack and multiple large diameter copper heatpipes along with three fans. The cooler and PCB are reinforced with brackets and a metal backplate to help keep the air cooler in pace and the PCB from bending.
If the rumors hold true, PowerColor will be unveiling the first air cooled dual GPU R9 295X2 graphics card which is an impressive feat of engineering! Using four 8-pin PCI-E power connectors definitely suggests that aftermarket overclocking is encouraged and supported even if PowerColor does not end up factory overclocking their dual GPU beast.
For reference, the stock AMD R9 295X2 features two full Hawaii GPUs with 5,632 stream processors clocked at up to 1018 MHz interfaced with 8GB of total GDDR5 memory over a 512-bit bus (each GPU has 4GB of memory and a 512-bit bus). AMD rates this configuration at 11.5 TFLOPS of single precision performance. The reference R9 295X2 has a 500W TDP and uses two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors.
Please excuse me while I wipe the drool off of my keyboard...
Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more details on the mysterious dual GPU Devil 13 from PowerColor!
In the meantime, check out our full review of the R9 295X2 (and the Hawaii architecture) and what happens when you put two R9 295X2s in Quad CrossFire into a single system for 4K gaming goodness!
GeForce Experience 2.0.1 Update Released
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | May 5, 2014 - 05:03 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, geforce experience, shield
NVIDIA has released version 2.0.1 of GeForce Experience. This update does not bring many new features, hence why it is a third-level increment to the version number, but is probably worthwhile to download regardless. Its headlining feature is security enhancements with OpenSSL under remote GameStream on SHIELD. The update also claims to improve streaming quality and reduce audio latency.
While they do not seem to elaborate, I assume this is meant to fix Heartbleed, which is an exploit that allows an attacker to receive a small snapshot of active memory. If that is that case, it is unclear whether the SHIELD, the host PC during a game session, or both endpoints are affected.
The new GeForce Experience is available at the NVIDIA website. If it is running, it will also ask you to update it, of course.
Asus Launches GTX TITAN Z Dual GK110 Graphics Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 2, 2014 - 01:29 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: titan z, nvidia, gpgpu, gk110, dual gpu, asus
NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce GTX TITAN Z at the GPU Technology Conference last month, and the cards will be for sale soon from various partners. ASUS will be one of the first AIB partners to offer a reference TITAN-Z.
The ASUS GTX TITAN Z pairs two full GK110-based GPUs with 12GB of GDDR5 memory. The graphics card houses a total of 5,760 CUDA cores, 480 texture manipulation units (TMUs), and 96 ROPs. Each GK110 GPU interfaces with 6GB of GDDR5 memory via a 384-bit bus. ASUS is using reference clockspeeds with this card, which means 705 MHz base and up to 876 MHz GPU Boost for the GPUs and 7.0 GHz for the memory.
For comparison, the dual-GPU TITAN Z is effectively two GTX TITAN Black cards on a single PCB. However, the TITAN Black runs at 889 MHz base and up to 980 MHz GPU Boost. A hybrid water cooling solution may have allowed NVIDIA to maintain the clockspeed advantage, but doing so would compromise the only advantage the TITAN Z has over using two (much cheaper) TITAN Blacks in a workstation or server: card density. A small hit in clockspeed will be a manageable sacrifice for the target market, I believe.
The ASUS GTX TITAN Z has a 375W TDP and is powered by two 8-pin PCI-E power connectors. The new flagship dual GPU NVIDIA card has an MSRP of $3,000 and should be available in early May.
AMD Mantle Private Beta Announced
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | May 1, 2014 - 08:00 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Mantle, amd
As our readers are well aware, Mantle is available for use with a few games. Its compatibility begun with the beta Catalyst 14.1 driver and an update for Battlefield 4. AMD was quite upfront about the technology, even granting a brief interview with Guennadi Riguer, Chief Architect of the API to fill in a few of the gaps left from their various keynote speeches.
What is under lock and key, however, is the actual software development kit (SDK). AMD claimed that it was too immature for the public. It was developed in partnership with DICE, Oxide Games, and other, established developers to fine-tune its shape, all the while making it more robust. That's fine. They have a development plan. There is nothing wrong with that. Today, while the SDK is still not public and sealed by non-disclosure agreement, AMD is accepting applications from developers who are requesting to enter the program.
If you want to develop a Mantle application or game, follow the instructions at their website for AMD to consider you. They consider it stable, performant, and functional enough for "a broader audience in the developer community".
AMD cites 40 developers already registered, up from seven (DICE, Crytek, Oxide, etc.).
If you are not a developer, then this news really did not mean too much to you -- except that progress is being made.

Ax15 with Dakota 2.5 Bellhousing
I have an AX-15 from a 93 model with 150,000 miles mated to a 1998 Dodge Dakota 2.5 bellhousing. Included is a really nice shifter (no knob) and the clutch fork. This is the ticket to swap your broken AX-5 out and drive worry free. Or replace your worn AX-15 and sell the bellhousing. I bought this from a well established member of this forum and unfortunately it was lost by UPS for a month. In the mean time I bought another transmission so I could keep driving. Im just recovering my cost. $720 shipping included. That breaks down to $400 for the trans, $200 for the bellhousing, $120 for shipping and the shifter and clutch fork are free. Thanks. Dave
Let me ask a question here. I am getting ready to do this swap and i havent seen anything about the crank position sensor. Does the sensor that is on my 95 yj connect to the dodge bellhousing if you go that route?

I went on call yesterday at 4:30pm and will be on call until Tuesday, the 28th, at 9am. Yet life goes on. Being on call, I have to carry my sidearm in the event I am called out. So.... today I was wearing my usual western attire: jeans, boots, western long sleeve shirt and Resistol western hat. On my side was my trusted, loved and constant companion, my S&W 1911 stainless.
I went to two Walmarts, a CVS, a McDonalds, a Home Depot, a service station, a tire dealer and a large grocery store. Openly carrying all the time with my credentials in possession but not publically displayed.
Not one single person made any indication they noticed I was carrying. A couple of people asked my advice on some purchases. Nobody ran away screaming, nobody called police or security.
Living where OC is a way of life is great.
So where did you OC today on this holiday weekend?

I'm stumped... A friend would like me to make a 2 or 3 tier cake for her fiance who is graduating college. It is my gift to them. She wants a cake that incorporates his graduation, the GA bulldogs and budlight. I'm having a hard time trying to integrate the budlight because the colors are so different. If it was just the graduation and GA bulldogs, I've got tons of ideas! But the budlight element is throwing me off. Help!

It is going to take some getting use to, like anything new. I think uploading photos is much better. It is harder to get to many things--too many clicks. I think that can be alleviated with more choices on the drop down menus at the top. Like a drop-down under "Galleries" for "my photos". Although I figured it out (it is more round about than apparent), I like seeing how many have viewed a particular photo and he helps me gauge how eye-catching my own cakes are.
The site has more ways to customize views and overall that is a good thing. I just need to spend more time on figuring out how it works.
Thanks for taking the time to upgrade. The site works faster and smoother in Chrome and Firefox. The new IE not so much, but I can't get anything to work right in the new IE.
So in short, good job, but alleviate the number of steps/clicks to get to different areas and the site can go from good to great!
