Check out results of The Tech Report's hardware survey
Subject: General Tech, Systems | September 29, 2014 - 01:21 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: survey, components
The Tech Report have compiled the data from their survey of readers machines and the data is now posted in this article. You can see how your build compares to the major trends that they observed, from the number and type of monitors that you use to the amount of RAM you have installed. The most interesting page covers the odd facts which were revealed such as the overwhelming predominance of ATX boards and cases that are being used despite the fact that 75% of respondents having only a single card installed in their systems. It is also interesting to note a mere 10% of those responding use more than one GPU. Check out the findings here.
"Typical PC enthusiasts may spend more on their PCs than you might think—and by the looks of it, their taste for high-end hardware isn't just limited to core components. Those are two of the main takeaways from the TR Hardware Survey 2014, in which we invited readers to answer 26 questions about their PCs. Around 4,000 of you participated over a period of about a week and a half, and the results paint an enlightening picture of current trends in the hobbyist PC realm. "

Intel RealSense SDK Beta Available, Camera Pre-Order
Subject: General Tech | September 29, 2014 - 03:41 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Realsense 3D, realsense, kinect, Intel
RealSense is Intel's 3D camera initiative for bringing face recognition, gesture control, speech input, and augmented reality to the PC. Its closest analogy would be Microsoft's Kinect for Windows. The technology has been presented at Intel keynotes for a while now, embodied in the "Intel Perceptual Computing SDK 2013" under its "Perceptual Computing" initiative.
Since August 31st, that has been removed from their site and replaced with the Intel RealSense SDK. While the software is free, you will probably need compatible hardware to do anything useful. None is available yet, but the "Intel RealSense Developer Kit" hardware (not to be confused with the "Intel RealSense SDK", which is software) is available for reservation at Intel's website. The camera is manufactured by Creative Labs and will cost $99. They are also very clear that this is a developer tool, and forbid it from being used in "mission critical applications". Basically, don't trust your life on it, or the lives and health of any other(s) or anything.
The developer kit will be available for many regions: the US, Canada, much of Europe, Brazil, India, China, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Russia, Israel, and Singapore.
Assassin's Creed: Rogue Might Be for the PC?
Subject: General Tech | September 29, 2014 - 02:59 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: assassin's creed, pc gaming, ubisoft
Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed: Rogue is currently only announced for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, but it might see a PC release, too. This is particularly weird because Rogue is scheduled to launch, for the two aforementioned consoles, on the same day as Assassin's Creed: Unity is scheduled for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. Unless they are planning a delayed PC launch, PC gamers might receive two games, in the same franchise, on the same day.
I would have to expect that its PC release would need to be staggered though, right? I mean, how would they market two similar games at the same time? In particular, how would they market two fairly long, similar games at the same time? I mean, thanks Ubisoft, but it just seems like an unnecessary risk of market cannibalization.
About that evidence, though. PC Gamer apparently found reference to the title in the Brazillian software ratings board and the title was mentioned on one of Ubisoft's Uplay page for the PC. Those are pretty good pieces of evidence, although we need to take their word on it, which is implicitly trusting screenshots from NeoGAF. Also, PC Gamer really needs to link to the exact thread at NeoGAF because it was buried under the first several pages by the time I got there.
Assassin's Creed: Unity launches on November 11th, 2014 (not the 14th). Rogue -- maybe?
Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord Editor Video
Subject: General Tech | September 28, 2014 - 08:30 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: mount & blade, taleworlds, mount & blade ii, bannerlord, pc gaming
The Mount & Blade franchise is enjoyed among a relatively small, dedicated group of fans. One leading reason for this uptake is the large base of third-party content from its modding community. One mod, Mount & Musket, led to the creation of a game studio, Flying Squirrel Entertainment, when the mod was picked up into an official expansion, Mount & Blade: Warband: Napoleonic Wars. Sometimes taxonomy can be proper but a little bit excessive.
Developer, TaleWorlds, builds games atop their own, proprietary engine and designs it with modders in mind. They are currently in development of Mount & Blade II: Bannerlords, a prequel to Mount & Blade: Warband. In the video, below, they explain that every feature in the video is available for third-parties. This includes painting layers of materials and foliage, generating terrain by height-maps, and tessellation.
Hopefully they also add "connect to IP"...
While the game was first announced two years ago, it is still in a "when it's done" phase. The publisher is still unknown. Paradox Interactive was attached to the first three games, and Napoleonic Wars, but are not involved with Bannerlord, according to a Reddit AMA from last year. As popular as it is, at least for what it is, TaleWorlds could even be self-publishing to digital distribution platforms like Steam, Desura, GoG, and others, but that is just speculation.

Intel Expands x86 SoC Program to Tsinghua Unigroup
Subject: General Tech, Processors, Mobile | September 27, 2014 - 02:38 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Intel, spreadtrum, rda, Rockchip, SoC
A few months ago, Intel partnered with Rockchip to develop low-cost SoCs for Android. The companies would work together on a design that could be fabricated at TSMC. This time Intel is partnering with Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. and, unlike Rockchip, also investing in them. The deal will be up to $1.5 billion USD in exchange for a 20% share (approximately) of a division of Tsinghua.
Image Credit: Wikipedia
Intel is hoping to use this partnership to develop mobile SoCs, for smart (and "feature") phones, tablets, and other devices, and get significant presence in the Chinese mobile market. Tsinghua acquired Spreadtrum Communications and RDA Microelectronics within the last two years. The "holding group" that owns these division is apparently the part of Tsinghua which Intel is investing in, specifically.
Spreadtrum will produce SoCs based on Intel's "Intel Architecture". This sounds like they are referring to the 32-bit IA-32, which means that Spreadtrum would be developing 32-bit SoCs, but it is possible that they could be talking about Intel 64. These products are expected for 2H'15.
The Evil Within System Requirements
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 27, 2014 - 02:59 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: rage, pc gaming, consolitis
Shinji Mikami has been developing a survival horror game, which makes sense given a good portion of his portfolio. He created Resident Evil and much of the following franchise. The Evil Within is about to release, having recently gone gold. At around this time, publishers begin to release system requirements and Bethesda does not disappoint in that regard.
Are the requirements... RAGE-inducing?
A case could be made for disappointing requirements, themselves, though.
Basically, Bethesda did not release minimum requirements. Instead, they said "This is what we recommend. It will run on less. Hope it does!" This would not be so problematic if one of their requirements wasn't a "GeForce GTX 670 with 4GBs of VRAM".
They also recommend a quad-core Core i7, 4GB of system memory, 50GB of hard drive space, and a 64-bit OS (Windows 7 or Windows 8.x).
Before I go on, I would like to mention that The Evil Within is built on the RAGE engine. Our site has dealt extensively with that technology when it first came out in 2011. While I did not have many showstopping performance problems with that game, personally, it did have a history with texture streaming. Keep that in mind as you continue to read.
A typical GTX 670 does not even have 4GBs of VRAM. In fact, the GTX 780 Ti does not even have 4GB of VRAM. Thankfully, both of the newly released Maxwell GPUs, the GTX 970 and the GTX 980, have at least 4GB of RAM. Basically, Bethesda is saying, "I really hope you bought the custom model from your AIB vendor". They literally say:
Note: We do not have a list of minimum requirements for the game. If you're trying to play with a rig with settings below these requirements (you should plan to have 4 GBs of VRAM regardless), we cannot guarantee optimal performance.
Each time I read, "You should plan to have 4 GBs of VRAM regardless", it is more difficult for me to make an opinion about it. That is a lot of memory. Personally, I would wait for reviews and benchmarks, specifically for the PC, before purchasing the title. These recommended settings could be fairly loose, to suit the vision of the game developers, or the game could be a revival of RAGE, this time without the engine's original architect on staff.
The Evil Within launches on October 14th.
MSI KingBox MS-9A66 for Their Industrious... Fans
Subject: General Tech, Systems | September 27, 2014 - 02:16 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: msi, kingbox, ms-9a66, fanless, industry, ruggedized
This is not usually a category of computer that we report on, but MSI has just released a fanless, embedded desktop for industrial applications. Silent PCs seem to be talked about more and more frequently, and I am not sure how much of it is industry trends (as opposed to me just paying more attention). Their focus on this design is performance while remaining rugged and, as mentioned a few times, fanless.
Note that it supports CPUs with a maximum of 35W TDP. This leaves room for MSI to include up to a Core i7-4785T in the device, but we do not know if this is actually offered. It has four expansion bays, one PCIe x16 and three regular PCI slots. It does not have an ISA slot, though. I am sure this will be disappointing to some enterprises, and Josh. He probably still has a graphics card for it. You might think I would be joking. I am, but sadly I also am not.
For power, the device can accept anywhere from 9 to 36V DC. Basically, it seems to be based on laptop components with expansion slots for add-in boards. You can also purchase a fan "module" for it if, for one reason or another, it is still the best PC for the job even if it wasn't fanless.
Pricing and specific availability are not provided, but it is apparently released.
Samsung is releasing new PCIe SSDs
Subject: General Tech | September 26, 2014 - 01:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: PCIe SSD, Samsung, NVMe, SM1715, 3d nand
Samsung's new SM1715 NVMe PCIe SSD will use their new 3D V-NAND and come in a 3.2TB card, double the previous model and perhaps the smallest of the new line of SSDs they are working on. The stats are fairly impressive at 750,000/130,000 random read/write IOPS or 3GB/sec read bandwidth and 2.2GB/sec write bandwidth if you prefer that measurement. Samsung offers a nice mix of bandwidth and size with the new model and you can expect the competition to start releasing new models with increased capacities and speeds in the near future. The Register was not provided the full set of specifications for the drive but those should be forthcoming in the near future.
"Faster, fatter flash cards that speed up server applications are in demand, and Samsung has announced it is mass-producing a 3.2TB NVMe PCIe SSD using its 3D V-NAND technology. It says higher capacities are coming."

S.W.A.P. Is Free and not a Regular First Person Shooter
Subject: General Tech | September 26, 2014 - 02:46 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: free games, swap, arena shooter, pc gaming
Subterfuge Weapons Assessment Program, an obvious backronym for S.W.A.P., takes the first person shooter genre and removes the whole "damage" mechanic. Basically, shooting an opponent will have your character "exchange bodies". The point is apparently to prevent the enemy from delivering a payload to your base or put them into situations where they will kill themselves once they are at your position.
While I have yet to play the game, it is free. No micro-transactions, DLC, or subscriptions. They are using this project to gauge interest for a full, Unreal Engine release. It has an interesting art style, reminiscent of Unreal Tournament (1999) or the original Tribes. It could be worth a download, especially if you like old-fashioned arena shooters and unusual game mechanics.
Those are two genres which do not get mixed a lot...
EVGA PrecisionX 16 Now Available
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 26, 2014 - 02:03 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: steam, precisionx 16, precisionx, overclocking, nvidia, evga
If you were looking to download EVGA Precision X recently, you were likely disappointed. For a few months now, the software was unavailable because of a disagreement between the add-in board (AIB) partner and Guru3D (and the RivaTuner community). EVGA maintains that it was a completely original work, and references to RivaTuner are a documentation error. As a result, they pulled the tool just a few days after launching X 15.
... and they have recently relaunched with PrecisionX 16.
This new version, besides probably cleaning up all of the existing issues mentioned above, adds support for the new GeForce GTX 900-series cards, a new interface, an "OSD" for inside applications, and Steam Achievements (??). You can get a permanent badge on your Steam account for breaking 1200 MHz on your GPU, taking a screenshot, or restoring settings to default. I expect that latter badge is one of shame, like the Purple Heart from Battlefield, that is not actually a bad thing and says nothing less of your overclocking skills by pressing it. Seriously, save yourself some headache and just press default if things just do not seem right.
PrecisionX 16 is free, available now, and doesn't require an EVGA card (just a site sign-up).
HTC Making the Google Nexus 9 with NVIDIA Tegra K1?
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | September 26, 2014 - 01:45 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tablet, Nexus, google, nexus 9, nvidia, tegra k1
The Nexus line is due for an update, with each product being released for at least a year. They are devices which embody Google's vision... for their own platform. You can fall on either side of that debate, whether it guides OEM partners or if it is simply a shard the fragmentation issue, if you even believe that fragmentation is bad, but they are easy to recommend and a good benchmark for Android.
We are expecting a few new entries in the coming months, one of which being the Nexus 9. Of note, it is expected to mark the return of HTC to the Nexus brand. They were the launch partner with the Nexus One and then promptly exited stage left as LG, Samsung, and ASUS performed the main acts.
We found this out because NVIDIA spilled the beans on their lawsuit filing against Qualcomm and Samsung. Apparently, "the HTC Nexus 9, expected in the third quarter of 2014, is also expected to use the Tegra K1". It has since been revised to remove the reference. While the K1 has a significant GPU to back it up, it will likely be driving a very high resolution display. The Nexus 6 is expected to launch at around the same time, along with Android 5.0 itself, and the 5.2-inch phone is rumored to have a 1440p display. It seems unlikely that a larger, tablet display will be lower resolution than the phone it launches alongside -- and there's not much room above it.
The Google Nexus 9 is expected for "Q3".
Euclideon's voxel point clouds are rather pretty
Subject: General Tech | September 25, 2014 - 01:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: euclideon, voxels, larrabee, point cloud
Could the next Elder Scrolls game you play look like the screenshot below? Euclideon is working to make that a reality with their new voxel engine. The engine is strictly CPU based, similar to the long dead Larrabee architecture but with one major difference, currently they are capable of rendering 2000x1000 frames at around 32 FPS on a six-core processor. They are properly referred to as frames because this is a point cloud solution, not pixel based. They generated the images in the video you can see at The Tech Report by rendering 3D scans of real objects and locations but programmers will still be able to create scenes with Maya or 3ds Max. Euclideon feels that they can still get a lot more performance out of a CPU with software refinements and are not planning on moving to GPU at this time. With two unannounced games using this new engine in development it might be time to make sure your machine has at least 6 cores so that you can be ready for their launch
"We first heard about Euclideon back in 2011, when the company posted a video of a voxel-based rendering engine designed to enable environments with unlimited detail. This month, the firm made headlines again with a new video showing the latest iteration of is technology, which uses 3D scanners to capture real-world environments as point-cloud data. We spoke to Euclideon CEO Bruce Dell to find out more about these innovations—and about the first games based on them."

Samsung Stops Selling Laptops and Chromebooks in Europe
Subject: General Tech, Systems | September 24, 2014 - 06:10 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Samsung, Chromebook, laptop
This does not apply to our North American readers, although it is good for them to know. To our European fans: Samsung has pulled out of the laptop market, for devices running either Windows or ChromeOS, in your region. The company is not commenting on how many jobs will be lost as a result of this decision. Samsung is not halting operations in any other region and this decision "is not necessarily reflective of conditions in other markets".
Parallels are drawn with Sony and its VAIO division, but this is significantly different. Sony sold its PC business to Japanese Industrial Partners who, in July, relaunched the brand in Japan. Samsung has not sold any division although there is rumors of upcoming restructuring. While Samsung will retain their brand and continue to develop products for the other regions, pulling away is always concerning for customers. It really could be a geographic anomaly, like Xbox was in Japan, or it could be a warning tremor. We simply do not know.
Plantronics updates their RIG Surround headset
Subject: General Tech | September 24, 2014 - 05:24 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: audio, plantronics, RIG Surround
It feels like a while since Plantronics released a new headset into the currently crowded marketplace but the 2014 version of the Plantronics RIG Surround has some interesting changes from the previous model. The RIG Surround mixer used to be a simple volume and balance control but has now been upgraded to what is essentially an external soundcard with extra functionality. It is best used with a cellphone as the mixer can give you better sound from your cellphone as well as enabling you apply EQ profiles and answer your phone with a single button push. When connected to a PC the lack of an analog passthrough means that the sound you hear will be dependant on the mixer and not the soundcard in the PC which can reduce the audio quality somewhat but you can bypass it and plug the RIG directly into your PC to enjoy the full capabilities of the headset. The microphone is removable for when you do not need it which also helps portability. Check out Legit Reviews opinion on the new version of the RIG right here.
"We are very excited to be taking an early look at the upcoming Plantronics RIG Surround. It's not only because Plantronics has a stellar reputation, but because we've had great firsthand experiences with their other gaming headsets. The Plantronics RIG Surround primarily consists of two components – a headset and an external sound card called the RIG mixer that also allows gamers to attach their smartphone and use the setup like a home call center."

World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor Requirements Listed
Subject: Editorial, General Tech | September 24, 2014 - 03:55 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: wow, blizzard
When software has been supported and maintained for almost ten years, like World of Warcraft, it is not clear whether the worst compatible machine at launch should remain supported or whether the requirements should increase over time. For instance, when Windows XP launched, the OS was tuned for 128MB of RAM. Later updates made it be highly uncomfortable with anything less than a whole gigabyte. For games though, we mostly pretend that they represent the time that they were released.
That mental model does not apply to World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor. While technically this is an expansion pack, its requirements jumped again (significantly if compared to the original release). Even the first expansion pack, Burning Crusade, was able to run on a GeForce 2. Those cards were bundled with the original Unreal Tournament, which was a relatively new game at the time that the GeForce 2 was released.
Now? Well the minimum is:
- Windows XP or later.
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 or AMD Phenom X3 8750
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, AMD Radeon HD 4850), or Intel HD Graphics 3000.
- 2GB of RAM
And the recommended is:
- Windows 7 or 8 (x86-64)
- Intel Core i5 2400 or AMD FX-4100
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 or AMD Radeon HD 5870
- 4GB of RAM
World of Warcraft, and other MMORPGs, might get a pass on this issue. With its subscription model, there is not really an expectation that a user can go back and see the game in the same state as it launched. It is not a work, but a service -- and that does not devalue its artistic merits. It just is not really the same game now that it was then.
World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor will launch on November 13th.
Oculus Rift Crescent Bay, hinting at what the consumer model will look like

Tagged: Oculus, oculus connect, crescent bay, gaming
If you haven't had a chance to listen to it, Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN has linked to the Keynote Panel of John Carmack, Palmer Luckey and several others presented during the Oculus Connect event. They also give you a few insights into their experience with the new Crescent Bay prototype which features "new display technology, 360° head tracking, expanded positional tracking volume, dramatically improved weight and ergonomics, and high-quality integrated audio." They were not the only ones who were playing with the new device, Polygon has both a video and a write up on their chance to use the new model, which is likely to be the last one revealed before the final consumer release. Unfortunately there is not yet a date as to when that will happen so for now try to make friends with someone who has a Dev Kit 2 model.
The Fragging Frogs are still working towards the next major gamign event but that doesn't mean you can't play with them, there are still official pick up games every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and you can find members online almost all the time.
"The new kit was available to play at Oculus Connect, with a new set of demos designed to show off the increased sense of "presence" provided by the device. If that word sounds familiar, that's because that's what Valve called it when they worked on their own VR prototype. Michael Abrash, now at Oculus, headed that team at Valve."

Cheap laptops are expected to cut into mobile GPU sales
Subject: General Tech | September 24, 2014 - 12:56 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, nvidia, hp, dell, asus, acer, toshibe, mobile gpu
The growing market of low cost $200 to $400 10" to 15" laptops is expected to cut into the sales of AMD and NVIDIA's mobile GPUs as they are forced to focus more on higher end models. That is a much smaller market and the margins generally favour the laptop vendor as opposed to the company providing the mobile GPU. This will be felt more strongly by NVIDIA as AMD's APU lineup will appear in the smaller and less expensive notebooks but will still have an effect on AMD's bottom line over the coming quarters. DigiTimes also mentioned that AMD's R9 390X is due out in the first half of 2015 and that both companies are currently reducing the price of their GPUs in the hopes of increasing their sales volumes on the desktop.
"Notebook vendors including Hewlett-Packard (HP), Dell, Lenovo, Asustek Computer, Acer and Toshiba, will launch low-cost models with CPUs with integrated graphics in the fourth quarter of 2014 and therefore AMD and Nvidia are expected to see demand for their discrete mobile GPUs decrease, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers."

Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 24, 2014 - 02:41 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: sli, nvidia
SLI Bridges are thrown in with compatible motherboards and there is usually little reason to want anything else. They work. There is no performance advantage for getting a "better" one, unless it does not connect with your specific arrangement of two-to-four cards. Today, NVIDIA gives another reason: a soft, beautiful glow to match the green "GeForce GTX" on the cards themselves.
Mind you, this is not the first glowing SLI Bridge. EVGA even provided us with a few of their own for a giveaway last year.
NVIDIA has three models, depending on the layout of your cards. 3-way SLI will need to be arranged as a series of two-wide with no gaps, using the "3-Way SLI Bridge". 2-way configurations have the choice of two empty slots between the two-wide cards, or no gap; former would purchase the "2-Way Spaced SLI Bridge" and the later, the "2-Way SLI Bridge". They each require GeForce GTX 770 cards, or better, as well as a recent GeForce Experience (1.7+). Certain non-reference designs may be incompatible.
The SLI Bridges are available now. Both 2-Way bridges are $29.99 and the 3-Way is $39.99.

Best beef we've ever had!!
By: Kyle Kopecky (Jan 10, 2013)
I've been commuting between Cleveland, OH and Reston, VA for years and have driven by Hedgeapple Farm countless times. I stopped this year and picked up a standing rib roast for Christmas dinner and it was unanimous...the best roast we've ever had. The meat was so fabulous it required very little in actual preparation. The store is absolutely pristine and carries a wide array of products. I was very impressed. Next time I will have a cooler and plan accordingly for my trip home. Well worth the extra stop!!

Former RTA employee appointed to board; questions resolved about legitimacy of appointment
CORPUS CHRISTI - A former Regional Transportation Authority employee whose position was cut by the agency now will serve on its governing board.
Lamont Taylor was appointed last week by the Nueces County Commissioners Court, but the legitimacy of his appointment came under scrutiny this week amid questions that he still was employed at the RTA.
County Attorney Laura Jimenez originally issued an opinion that Taylor could not serve as an employee, but now that Taylor submitted a formal resignation last week, Jimenez has said he can serve on the board, County Judge Loyd Neal said.
Jimenez could not be reached for comment.
"There's no reason to start a big legal fight over something when the county attorney says he can serve," Neal said.
Taylor's appointment on the board stands and he is scheduled to take office in October, Neal said.
The Texas Attorney General has ruled that state law prohibits someone from holding office while simultaneously holding employment subordinate to that office. That would prohibit current RTA employees from serving on the board, but there seems to be no dispute that Taylor no longer is an employee after he officially resigned last week.
Taylor, who for 25 years worked at the RTA, argues that he has not been an employee since April, but said he submitted a formal resignation last week to dispel any concerns about a potential conflict of interest.
Taylor's job, among seven cut in April, was to be phased out next year.
Under the agreement, Taylor continued to receive his salary through the end of the year, though he said he turned in his belongings and stopped going to work at the RTA in April. He said he considered his payments severance pay and did not see them as part of an ongoing contract with the agency.
John Bell, attorney for the RTA, characterized Taylor's situation differently. He said Taylor has been on paid administrative leave since April pending his retirement at the end of the year.
He agreed that Taylor formally resigned last week.
Taylor said his resignation means he will forgo the money and benefits he would have received through the end of the year.
Commissioners appointed Taylor to the board to replace RTA board vice-chair Gloria Perez, whose term expires Sept. 18. Perez had applied for reappointment, Precinct 1 Commissioner Mike Pusley said.
Taylor said he wants to serve on the RTA board because he believes he can use his 35 years of experience in public transportation to help guide the agency in getting grants, adhering to federal regulations and providing a good service.

Comment: Had that problem, now much less so. (Score 1) 312
Two things helped me so far:
1) A Sleep Study
I thought I was sleeping well because I fell asleep easily and stayed asleep. Nope: That
was my body trying to make up in quantity what the sleep lacked in quality. I thought my problem was
caused by too many electronic distractions (yeah some, but not most of it).
You don't get enough deep and REM sleep, you don't have focus and your ability to remember new things takes a BIG hit.
My problem was ridiculously easy to treat and I deeply regret spending several years not realizing I was being fuzzier than
I needed to be for want of a couple slightly uncomfortable nights wired up.
2) Turning off the router at night
Also helpful: I put my home router on a timer. 10pm, BANG! No internet on anything but my phone, which is OK to use
for short periods as an internet device and keeps me in touch if need be. Nonetheless it's much easier for me to decide to close
my eyes now. That probably only works because my phone screen isn't very big.

Re:Tax Breaks (35 comments)
Luke 16, the parable of the shrewd manager.
Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.' "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg– I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses. So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' 'Eight hundred gallons of olive oil,' he replied. The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred.' Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?' 'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he replied. He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eight hundred.'
Kind of sounds like a politician to me. He's about to lose his job because he's wasting someone else's money, so he goes out and makes as many friends as he can so he won't have to work.
Re:Tax Breaks (35 comments)
Yes, but tax breaks buy votes. When you've only got four years in office before the next election, you've got to prioritize. Four years isn't enough time to actually fix anything that's broken, but it's enough time to campaign.
There was a parable in the Bible that's kind of like this, about a guy who was about to be fired as manager of an estate so he went out and forgave everybody's debts. Cost the master of the estate a lot of money, but the guy was getting fired anyway and he ended up with a lot of friends who would keep him from ending up on the street. Government works the same way.

Read a rundown on the top public policy issues facing state lawmakers in 2015, state-private sector partnerships for infrastructure, e-cigarettes and taxes and dealing with cuts to mental health programs.
Current Issue
A bicycle safety policy that has gained significant interest and activity in state legislatures is 3-feet or safe passing laws. These laws seek to ensure that, when passing bicycles, motor vehicles allow adequate space to avoid sideswiping bicyclists or causing them to overcorrect to avoid a vehicle. Skeptics doubt such laws can be enforced and whether 3 feet allows sufficient space for bicyclists. In addition, many bicyclists feel that laws dictating they must ride to the far right of a lane are of more concern because they often encourage too-close passing and leave bicyclists vulnerable to being "doored" by a parked car or to encountering roadside debris. Advocates state that these passing laws at least create a legal framework to protect bicyclists who are hit or buzzed from behind, create a less arbitrary standard and raise awareness of the importance of safe passing.
In 1973, Wisconsin became the first state to enact such a law; several more states have since enacted such measures. As of June 2014, 25 states—Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin—and the District of Columbia have enacted 3-feet passing laws. Pennsylvania has a 4-feet passing law. In 19 other states there are general laws that provide that motorists must pass at a "safe distance." These laws typically state that vehicles must pass bicyclists at a safe distance and speed, but usually are not more specific.
The box allows you to conduct a full text search or use the dropdown menu option to select a state.
A driver of a motor vehicle shall not overtake or pass a bicycle proceeding in the same direction on a highway at a distance of less than three feet between any part of the motor vehicle and any part of the bicycle or its operator. The driver of a motor vehicle overtaking and passing a bicycle shall do so at a safe distance that does not interfere with the safe operation of the overtaken bicycle, having due regard for the size and speed of the motor vehicle and the bicycle, traffic conditions, weather, visibility, and the surface and width of the highway.
The driver of a vehicle overtaking a bicycle or electric personal assistive mobility device proceeding in the same direction shall exercise due care, which shall include, but not be limited to, leaving a safe distance of no less than three feet clearance, when applicable, when passing a bicycle or electric personal assistive mobility device and shall maintain such clearance until safely past the overtaken bicycle or electric personal assistive mobility device.

Fast bowler Peter George has been called into the Australian squad as cover for Ryan Harris, who is nursing a side soreness, for the first Test against New Zealand commencing in Wellington from Friday.
Ryan Harris is currently suffering some side soreness following the completion of the one-day component of the tour.
George has been added as a stand-by player for the first Test of the tour only, a Cricket Australia release said on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old South Australian bowler has produced good performances in the country's domestic circuit and finished second on the Sheffield Shield wicket list with 36 at 30.44.
"Ryan Harris reported some left side soreness after the fourth ODI of the current series against New Zealand. Since then he has improved significantly and has bowled at low intensity for the last two training days.
"However due to the inclement weather he was unable to bowl outdoors as planned, and therefore it is not clear if he will be available for the first Test match. The plan is he will bowl again outdoors on Thursday and hopefully be passed fit to play," Australian physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said.
National Selection Panel chief Andrew Hilditch said: "Peter George is an exciting young fast bowler, who has a very good Sheffield Shield season with South Australia.
"The NSP believes that should the opportunity arise, Peter has the skills to succeed at this level and will benefit greatly from being around the Australian set up."
The second and final match of the two-Test series will be held in Hamilton from March 27.

State Patrol Releases More Info On Stratman Crash
After repeated requests by La Crosse area media, more information is being released about a fatal car crash involving a former sheriff's deputy.
The Wisconsin State Patrol has provided our newsroom with copies of the accident report and witness statements about the 2010 accident in which teenage driver Brandon Jennings was killed. Deputy Trisha Stratman collided with the Jennings car while responding to a police call in Holmen. Stratman will be tried this fall for negligent homicide. Witness accounts reported that the squad car was traveling very fast before the collision...with one estimate of about 120 miles an hour. While one driver in the opposite lane of Highway 35 says she is 'almost certain' the light for her and the squad car was green, other witnesses do not recall what color the light on 35 was at the time of the crash.
Pedestrian Hit by Drunk Driver on Oktoberfest Opener, Mostly UnhurtA near miss for a woman walking downtown this week-end during Oktoberfest in La Crosse. It was actually not a miss at all, but the woman managed to walk away relatively uninjured after getting clipped by a drunk driver coming out of a parking ramp. Police say Onalaska's Shawn Viner was solidly drunk when he left the third street ramp on Friday afternoon. He hit the woman in the back with his truck and kept right on driving. Cop eventually stopped him six blocks away. They say Viner blew a .255. His third drunk driving arrest. Here We Go Again....Time To Vote!Absentee Ballots for the Special Election for the 95th Assembly District to be held on October 11th are now available for City of La Crosse residents living in Wards 1-17. |
Dead Squirrel Near-Riot Part of Oktoberfest Week-endPolice were certainly busy for Oktoberfest this week-end in La Crosse. Largely with ticket writing. They're still counting them up. So far, they're up to nearly six dozen underage drinking tickets and multiple public consumption tickets. They were also called on several noise complaints, had several falling down drunks they had to haul to detox and a couple of calls for public nudity. Then, there was that whole, squirrel-tossing, bottle-hurling, car-flipping melee by the UWL campus. Police say about a thousand were involved in the near riot on Saturday and it took two shifts of police to calm it down. They say the fun started with some groups tossing around a dead squirrel. Safe Haven Rule Used For First Time In LacrosseInvoking the state's Safe Haven law, a mother surrendered her newborn baby at a La Crosse fire station. The woman brought the child to the station last Thursday afternoon about 4:30 p.m. The woman presented a medical history and was very helpful. The child was thought to be about three hours old. Wisconsin's Safe Haven law was enacted 10 years ago. It allows a parent to turn over an unharmed infant to police, fire, medical or emergency personnel, or a hospital, within 72 hours of birth and remain anonymous. After the baby is determined to be healthy, he will become eligible for foster care and a possible adoption. |

Gray Suede is a matte light gray-beige. It dries relatively quickly. Two coats give full coverage.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've never rated a nail polish before. Mostly because I'm not as nail focused as some. But this color is a god send. It has a nice shine, wears well and the color is phenomenal. I'm still surprised by the name though as I don't see the gray as much as some people describe. Maybe it's my coloring (light, slight pink) that gives it more of a versatile slightly cool tan color. A couple healthy coats with a good topcoat and you are good to go for days. Makes nails look finished without being made up. A nice alternative to the umpteen sheer pinks out on the market today! (My little hint for good adhesion....a little swipe of pure acetone before application of base coat. Sticks like glue.)

I love neutral shades.
This is nice nude for those with a tan. There's a soft shimmer that you can't really see. I have to do at least 2 coats.
Ultrapretty low-shine nude with a tinge of grey and understated shimmer. I like that one coat dries in less than 15 minutes, and just makes my nails look "done" without crossing into "overdone." I like to wear this when I travel because it doesn't chip, it just sort of wears away over the course of a week.
Full retail is $5.99 at any grocery or drugstore, but look for sales.
This nail polish is great for the price point. I'm pretty sure I got it on a major sale at CVS. Great color! On me it's a grayish, slightly shimmery nude. With my ORLY bonder rubberized base coat it lasts pretty well; only minor tip wear after 4 or 5 days. Looks simple and classy and doesn't draw attention to itself. Makes my chubby fingers look slimmer and longer, which is always a plus.

This Color is EVERYTHING💕👌 I have tan skin and this looks so perfect on my nails, makes my skin stand out. Will purchase again !
Ooohh I had a Revlon coupon so I headed to the store to see what I liked. I saw this and thought, ok, it will be a little over $3 with the coupon and it looks like an interesting shade that I don't have. Maybe because of the name, I expeced it to be like a greige, but it's totally a pretty nude with a tiny hint of pink (verses a brown nude). But I LOVE it!! I put on one coat as a light subtle color and then later put a greyish coat with this on top to achieve a (streaky, but effective) greige and wow, it's really pretty. I doubt I'd need to get another, since I don't go through polishes quickly, but yes, I'd get this again!
I love this color so much that I wear it almost all the time. Whenever I switch things up and wear a different color, I just feel disappointed! This is the perfect nude for me. It looks pretty professional for work, and I've never received so many compliments for a nail color before. It applies well, lasts and dries relatively quickly. It does take 2-3 coats since the first coat is streaky. Definite HG...I will continue to repurchase until they no longer make it.

I've given up on finding a nude shade more perfect than this for my hands. If I don't use it for a while, I forget that it *is* a nude, because it looks gray-mauve in the bottle in many lights. On my nails, though, the very faint lavender cast makes it a better match for my cool, pale skin. There is some extremely subtle shimmer that just serves to make the color creamier, if that makes sense, and less flat -- doesn't read as shimmery. Wears fine, applies well, opaque in two coats. Goes with everything. Understated, but really pretty.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've purchase this polish 3 times already and will most likely continue purchasing it. It's a great shade and suits my medium skin tone. It's hard to find a nude shade that goes well with my skin color, this seems to be a perfect color. I assume it will go well with any skin tone. Recommend this nail polish if you are looking for a nude color at a very reasonable price.

Patrick-Murray Administration's Office of Consumer Affairs Clears 681 Cases, Assesses $454,000 in Fines in First Year Overseeing Home Improvement Contractor Program
Caseload cut in half, actions include more than 182 registration revocations or suspensions via 378 hearings
After two hearing officers were hired in fall 2009, the Office addressed 681 dockets, and now has approximately 600 remaining. The hearing officers conducted 381 hearings, and outcomes include 166 registration revocations, 16 registration suspensions, 17 reprimands, and 240 fines totaling $454,250.
"Our Office has done a successful job working through the backlog of complaints and hearing consumer complaints against contractors," said Barbara Anthony, the Undersecretary of the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. "Consumers need to know there is an option to go to when they have a potentially unfair experience with a contractor, and in our first year we have proven to be responsive to homeowner concerns."
There are approximately 29,000 registered home improvement contractors in Massachusetts, and any contractor, with some limited exceptions, performing work on a one- to four-unit residential building must be registered before doing the work. Along with registering new contractors and renewing expiring registrations, the Office of Consumer Affairs also maintains a public database that allows consumers to check a contractor's registration, and whether there have been any previous complaints or other actions regarding the contractor. In 2009, consumer complaints and requests for information about contractors topped the list of reasons consumers called the Office of Consumer Affairs hotline.
Throughout its first year in overseeing home improvement contractors, the Office has undertaken a significant education effort for both contractors and consumers. For consumers, using a registered contractor affords some protections and possible compensation from the state's Guaranty Fund that would not be available if the consumer uses an unregistered contractor.
In an effort to ensure contractors are aware of the need to register and display their registration in advertising, the Office conducted two surveys this year. In February, the Office surveyed contractors at a Boston home show for registration numbers, and in May the Office reviewed 1,000 phone-book and online advertisements to see if the registration numbers were included. Also, in mailings to applicants or in renewal notifications, the Office includes a notice to contractors about the need to place registration numbers in advertising. Information is also available on the OCA website.
Of the nearly 700 cases decided since last fall, over half have been subject to hearings by the Office's two hearing officers. At those hearings, both the consumer and the contractor have the opportunity to provide testimony and evidence.
"One of the last lines of defense for consumers is a hearing, and our hearing officers have done a marvelous job making fair decisions and quickly getting through these outstanding cases," Undersecretary Anthony said.
The Patrick-Murray Administration's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation is committed to protecting consumers through consumer advocacy and education, and also works to ensure that the businesses its agencies regulate treat all Massachusetts consumers fairly. Follow the Office at its blog, Consumer Connections, and on Twitter, @Mass_Consumer.

CentOS Admin Mysteriously Missing
An open letter on the CentOS distribution website gives the impression that their main administrator has mysteriously disappeared.
Lance Davis is mainly in charge of the Linux distro CentOS, a re-build from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. In an open letter aimed at him, seven developers are appealing for him to get in touch. Efforts to contact Davis by phone have been of no avail. Davis holding the domain plus sole 'Founders' rights in the IRC channels makes the situation particularly difficult for the developers. Davis obviously is also in charge of donation money. In the letter: "You have long promised a statement of CentOS project funds, to this date this has not appeared."
Developers at CentOS are worried that Davis' AWOL will endanger the whole project: "Please do not kill CentOS through your fear of shared management of the project."
CentOS Accounting
Has there been an accounting and disclosure of funds collected and disbursed? Money collected for non-profits must be accounted for on IRS form 990. Has one been created? What is the non-profit name collecting money for CentOS?
I gave money to CentOS and want an accounting. -
CentOS Admin Mysteriously Missing
Umm, no.
He is not "mysteriously missing" and he is *not* the main administrator of the project. He just has his fingers on some central things - the project has survived for the last year without him surfacing.
Actually he hasn't done any work on CentOS for quite some time.
The project itself is well alive and kicking.

Since we work during the day, we enjoy our backyard in the evenings for the most part, so I decided to try for a moon garden. I absolutely loved the photos of sweet autumn clematis and wanted my own. I'm in zone 5b fyi.
In 2007 I tried planting them in a pot with and obelisk (built by my husband). It didn't come back over the winter. So I gave up for a few years. I tried again in 2010 on the same obelisk by the fence. It came back the following year! This is September 18, 20011, the plant is 2 years old. And this was last week, the sweet autumn clematis is 3 years old. I'm so happy how it looks. I actually have 2 of them on this fence, I'll try to get another photo of the whole area. And I love how it looks on the black fence, I don't see that too often. You can't see the obelisks anymore, the plant has completely covered it! |

Your photos are excellent examples of how Sweet Autumn clematis can light up the night. And the wonderful fragrance is a bonus! Thanks for sharing. |

Just before it hits you, shoot it, then jump into the cave. Go out the other end. Move straight for the lion. When you are close enough, it will turn around and swing at you. Shoot just as soon as it turns around. Note: You must keep running at the lion before and after you shoot it. By doing this, after you shoot it you will be close enough to the cave to jump back into it. Do this repeatedly until the lion dies. |
