FarCry 4 performance, it is almost ready for prime time

[H]ard|OCP recently put out a pair of articles covering Far Cry 4, the first of which covered the various new graphics features, many of which are only available to NVIDIA users and others like the Godrays which have such a performance impact on AMD GPUs that they may as well be NVIDIA only. The second will be of more interest to gamers as they benchmark a dozen GPUs, covering NVIDIA from the GTX 750Ti through to the GTX 980 and AMD from the R7 260X through to the R9 290X. They also had a chance to test SLI performance but unfortunately as Ubisoft decided to disable Crossfire completely in the game there could not be any multiple AMD GPU setups tested. Perhaps the most telling conclusion from [H]ard|OCP is also the most obvious, even though this is an evolution of the FarCry3 engine there have been numerous issues with the game since launch and even after six patches major issues with the game and the continued refusal to support Crossfire are hurting this games performance. If you still plan to play the game you can read [H]'s full performance review to see how your GPU should perform in Ubisoft's latest ... release.
"We play Far Cry 4 on no less than twelve different GPUs for this in-depth look at what graphics settings are playable in Far Cry 4. We will talk about playable settings and show apples-to-apples so you know what to expect in this game and what upgrading your video card may do for you in this new game."

A question was asked of Dan Luu about what new tricks silicon has learned since the early days of the eighties. The answer covers a gamut of what tools those who work on low level code such as drivers and UEFI/BIOS now have at their disposal. It is far more than just the fact that we have grown from 8 bit to 64 bit or the frequencies possible now that were undreamed of before but delves into the newer features such as out of order instructions and single instruction, multiple data instructions. If you are not familiar with how CPUs and GPGPUs operate at these low levels it is a great jumping off point for you to learn what the features are called and to get a rough idea of what tasks they perform. If you know your silicon through and through it is a nice look back at what has been added in the last 25 years and a reminder of what you had to work without back in the days when flashing a BIOS was a literal thing. You can also check the comments below the links at Slashdot as they are uncharacteristically on topic.
"An article by Dan Luu answers this question and provides a good overview of various cool tricks modern CPUs can perform. The slightly older presentation Compiler++ by Jim Radigan also gives some insight on how C++ translates to modern instruction sets."

Grand Theft Auto V (PC) Delayed Until March 24, 2015
Subject: General Tech | January 14, 2015 - 04:20 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: GTA5, GTA Online, consolitis
The fifth major release of Grand Theft Auto was launched sixteen months ago on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, without the PC. Eventually, Rockstar announced next-gen versions for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, which explained why the PC was missing before: it was considered a next-gen platform. Those platforms launched a year after the initial release, but the PC was pushed into January 2015. Now it has been pushed again, into late March (the 24th to be precise).
It's not like we're not trying!
Again, I hope that the extra time will be worth it -- and it might be, too. The game was overwhelmingly successful from a sales standpoint, but Grand Theft Auto Online (its multiplayer component) was criticized for a wide range of issues: service connectivity, glitches including loss of characters and progression, and some even claim a lack of content. Maybe, just maybe, it will be polished by the time it gets to us. And hey, Rockstar even claims that it will launch with Heists (which could be considered a running joke in itself).
They also claim that Grand Theft Auto Online for the PC will support 30 players. Nice.
The system specifications were also released, and they're fairly modest (unlike other recent titles). At a minimum, you will need a 64-bit OS with 4GB of memory and 65GB of drive space, which might be a stumbling block for some. Besides that? Core 2 Quad Q6600 and a GeForce 9800 GT. Its recommended specs push the CPU up to an Ivy Bridge Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 660.
It is interesting to see that only quad cores (or higher) are supported, but fairly old ones. Unless something like Far Cry 4 happens, there should be plenty enough performance in a dual-core Pentium Anniversary Edition to keep up. Hopefully Rockstar doesn't error-out machines if they do not detect at least four threads.
NZXT Enters the Set-Top Box Market with the DOKO Remote PC Streaming Device
Subject: General Tech | January 13, 2015 - 03:52 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: set-top box, remote access, pc game streaming, nzxt, DOKO
The new DOKO device from NZXT is an interesting spin on the living room streaming box, and it's a lot more than another Netflix player.
So what exactly is it? According to NZXT "DOKO is a low latency (50-80ms), 1080p 30 FPS PC streaming device that brings you the full functionality of your PC, anywhere in your home."
The DOKO provides the interface to remotely connect to computers over your network, providing access to whatever resources you have on your PC. The DOKO has USB ports to connect peripherals and though there is no proprietary hardware required, the company has compiled a "recommend" list of compatible keyboards, mice, and game controllers on their site.
The DOKO interface
And NZXT is making the gaming aspect of the streamer's capability a big part of the product, though with a 30 FPS limit it isn't as exciting as it could be.
"DOKO brings you unrestricted, latency-free gaming direct to your TV. Experience a new way to play your favorite PC games, with complete access to ALL of them, whether they are from Steam, Origin, Uplay or any other source."
In-home streaming is already a part of Steam, but the idea of an agnostic gaming experience without a second computer is attractive if it works as well as advertised. The company also points out the advantage of being able to do everything your PC can do… (Uh, we're talking about spreadsheets, right?)
The DOKO will be available exclusively from NZXT's online store (sorry, online "Armory") for $99, and will start shipping January 28.

Sigh, the end draws nigh for that most common of desktop operating systems, Windows 7, has moved into Extended Support. This follows the move at Halloween from an active product to one no longer available but is not the final straw for the OS which is currently scheduled for 2020. The Inquirer quotes a source which places the current market share of Win7 at just over 56% globally, far above the currently selling Win8.1 but this number will slowly begin to fall, likely at a quicker pace than did WinXP's share. When a Windows product reaches Extended Support it still receives security patches and serious bug fixes, albeit at a slower pace than when it is current so don't worry that your Win7 boxen will be dying any time soon but it does make it even more worthwhile to familiarize yourself with Windows 10 as new machines will be running that OS very soon. Drop by The Inquirer for other upcoming dates, such as the final nail in Vista's coffin.
"WINDOWS 7 has reached an important milestone that begins its long, slow descent into obscurity and eventually end of life, where it will doubtless continue to command more market share than its successor."

Using the embedded HD7850 to spot the next generation of gamers in the womb
Subject: General Tech | January 12, 2015 - 01:29 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ultrasound, opencl, hd 7850
The new bk3000 Ultrasound System from Analogic will use an embedded HD7850 and OpenCL to triple the quality of the information the ultrasound reveals. This will allow ultrasounds to reveal anatomical detail and micro-vascularization that was not available with previous ultrasound technology and could even enable Gamegaters to locate their own heads with the use of the E14C4t transducer. The most familiar usage of ultrasound is for displaying a fetus in utero but there are far more medical uses for this type of (mostly) non-invasive scan and the increase in detail and the transformation abilities that Open CL brings will not only make it more effective but could expand the usefulness of ultrasounds as a diagnostic tool. As we at PC Perspective continue to age we are very appreciative of advances such as this, especially if we can get a split screen that allows us to do a little light gaming while the doctors poke and prod!
SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Jan. 12, 2015 — AMD (NASDAQ:AMD) today announced that the AMD Embedded Radeon HD 7850 GPU is enabling cutting-edge application performance for the BK Ultrasound, powered by Analogic, bk3000 ultrasound system. Analogic is a leader in developing healthcare and security technology solutions to advance the practice of medicine to save lives.
"The AMD Embedded Radeon HD 7850 GPU with OpenCL provides a powerful and efficient pairing," said Cameron Swen, segment marketing manager, medical applications, AMD Embedded Solutions. "This product is yet another proof point to AMD's dedication to the healthcare segment through its technology, which helps facilitate crisp, detailed medical image visualization and other advanced graphics-driven capabilities, helping doctors provide improved care for patients."
Analogic used OpenCL standard to gain access to the GPU for general-purpose computing, referred to as "GPGPU," delivering exceptional performance and offering system and development cost reduction through cross-platform portability. As a result of using AMD GPU technology, Analogic achieved a 3x improvement in the amount of information in each ultrasound image and reduced time from capture to presentation. Traditional FPGAs and DSPs create a fixed, inflexible implementation that requires custom software targeted at specific hardware. Going to a software-based solution using OpenCL helps to further lower the development cost and provides improved long term value since the software can be used across product lines and through generation shifts.
"It was a critical design goal for us to implement a platform that delivered exceptional performance," said Jacques Coumans, chief marketing and scientific officer, Analogic. "After reviewing the options available, we chose the AMD Embedded Radeon HD 7850 GPU for its excellent quality and scalability. The bk3000 ultrasound system, powered by AMD embedded graphics technology, delivers exceptional speed and image fidelity, which allows clinicians to identify anatomy and flow dynamics deeper in challenging patients."
The AMD Embedded Radeon HD 7850 is based on AMD's award-winning Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture to advance the visual growth and parallel processing capabilities of embedded applications. In addition to ultrasound, other applications for GPGPU include some of the most complex parallel applications such as terrain and weather mapping, facial and gesture recognition, and biometric and DNA analysis.
The new Analogic bk3000 ultrasound system is targeted for urology, surgery, general imaging, and procedure guidance applications and is commercially available in key markets worldwide.
Still wondering about adaptive refresh and why it matters to more than the 144Hz crowd?
Subject: General Tech | January 12, 2015 - 12:42 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: freesync, amd
The Tech Report published a video of Freesync in action using a camera which records at 240 fps. The subject material is running at less than the 60Hz that most of our monitors use which means that you can actually see what it does for you. Watching the video at 60Hz you can see the tearing on the blades of the windmill as the actual frame rate of the render is 44 - 45Hz while when Freesync is active the matched frequencies do not cause any tearing. The demonstration shows how Freesync can benefit lower end systems that are not going to push a 144Hz monitor to the limits, if you can only manage 40-50 fps in a game Freesync is going to make it much easier on your eyes. You can catch our latest coverage of Freesync here.
"We've been hearing about FreeSync, AMD's answer to Nvidia's G-Sync variable refresh display tech, for just over a year now. This week at CES, we finally got a chance to see FreeSync in action, and we used that opportunity to shoot some enlightening 240-FPS footage. We were able to find out some new specifics from AMD, as well."

Two of Intel's CES Wearables Powered by ARM Processors
Subject: General Tech | January 11, 2015 - 03:08 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: wearables, SoC, smartwatch, Intel, ces 2015, CES, arm
Wearable tech shown at this year's CES by Intel included the Intel MICA and Basis PEAK wearables, but a blog post from ARM is reporting that a pair of these devices are powered by an ARM SoC.
The Intel MICA (Image credit: Intel)
ARM has posted pictures of teardowns from different wearable products, highlighting their presence in these new devices. The pictures we have taken from ARM's blog post show that it is not Intel at the heart of the two particular models we have listed below.
First is the Basis PEAK, and it actually makes a lot of sense that this product would have an ARM SoC considering Intel's aquisition of Basis occurred late in 2014, likely after the development of the PEAK had been completed.
The Basis PEAK (Image credits: Basis, ARM)
Of course it is likely that Intel has plans to integrate their own mobile chips into future versions of wearable products like the PEAK.
Of some interest however is the SoC within their own MICA luxury wearable.
The Intel MICA (Image credits: Intel, ARM)
For now, ARM is the industry standard for mobile devices and they are quick to point this out in their their blog post, writing "it's important to remember that only ARM and its partners can meet the diversity requirements and fuel innovation in this space". Intel seems to be playing the "partner" role for now, though not exclusively as the company's mobile technology is powering the newest ASUS ZenFone, for instance.
CES 2015: Samsung Monitors and ATIV Computers
Subject: General Tech | January 10, 2015 - 04:52 PM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: UD970, Samsung, S34E790C, ces 2015, ATIV One 7 Curved, ATIV Book 9, ativ
I was invited to a meeting with Samsung on my last day at CES. The Samsung Pavilion was absolutely packed, but I was able to see a handful of products that should pique the interest of people that are passionate about their monitor technology. I was led around by Sara and we checked out not only a few monitors, but the latest ATIV PC products.
Up until this point, I thought curved TVs were a gimmick. I still think curved TVs are a gimmick. For a living room seating multiple people that will have a different angle to the TV, I believe a flat screen is still the best overall experience. When it comes to PC usage, my mind has been thoroughly changed.
Samsung has forged ahead with a curved 21:9 panel that they give the very unwieldy product name of S34E790C. This is a 34" VA based panel that features a resolution of 3440x1440. This is not quite 4K resolution, and of course it features the ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio. This means that it is a bit easier on a video card than a full 4K monitor. This is simply a stunning looking unit. The design features a thin bezel and a really solid looking base that adds to the aesthetic rather than detracts. The rear ports include two HDMI, DisplayPort 1.2, 3.5 mm audio output, power, and a 4 port USB 3.0 hub.
The base is a solid, curved unit that allows users to raise and lower the panel. The bezels are again relatively thing so that multiple monitors can be placed together without the bezels becoming distracting. The unit also features a 100x100 mm VESA mount so that other stands can be used with this monitor.
Three of these monitors together would make for a tremendous Surround or Eyefinity setup. There would have to be some serious horsepower in terms of graphics to push that many pixels though. The curve is not extreme in the least, and the monitors curve around the user in a subtle way. This would be outstanding for flight sims, racing, and pretty much any game that can utilize a wide FOV. Samsung showed five of these together, and they blend nearly seamlessly together. This monitor currently retails around $1400, but MSRP is supposed to be $1,199 US.
On the professional side they were showing the UD970. This monitor was released around mid-year in 2014, but they were happy to put it on exhibit at CES. This is a 3840x2160 (4K) monitor that is aimed directly at professionals with color calibration done at the factory. When this comes out of the box, it should be in good enough shape to start working directly on professional applications which require a nicely calibrated monitor. This monitor is the typical flat style rather than the curved unit described above.
The ATIVs
Away from the monitors Samsung was showing off their latest all-in-one. The ATIV One 7 Curved is a 27" AIO that features the latest Intel i5 processor (Broadwell) with the HD 5500 graphics option. It has 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB hybrid HD (flash and spinning 5400 RPM drive) and runs Windows 8.1. The screen is a 1080P unit, which is a little disappointing considering the availability of fairly affordable 1440P panels, but that extra cost would drive up price from the very reasonable $1,299 MSRP.
The machine seemed very snappy and the curved screen again seems very appropriate for PC usage. Since the user is fairly close, the curve does allow better use of peripheral vision. The unit is only about 1.5" deep, so we can see exactly why they are using a Broadwell based chip which does not require a tremendous amount of cooling. It features HDMI in and out ports for use with consoles and other display options. There are also two 10 watt speakers integrated into the machine which will provide for some pretty impressive integrated sound. Most speakers in this class are around 2 to 4 watts, so by putting in a couple of 10 watt units there will not be a need by most people to utilize other speaker peripherals.
Probably the most interesting aspect of this product is the SideSync 3.0 software platform. This application allows users to control their Samsung based Android device. The demonstration I was given used the Galaxy S5. The user will see a representation of the phone on their screen and they have access to all of the applications installed on the phone. Here is what Samsung has to say about SideSync 3.0:
"Through SideSync 3.0, ATIV One 7 Curved users can receive phone calls and text messages forwarded from their Samsung smartphone right to their PC. Users can also control their smartphone from their PC screen, mouse and keyboard through SideSync 3.0's sharing mode, as well as share content between devices with Samsung Link 2.0. This means that users can save all of their photos, videos, music and more in the ATIV One 7 Curved's ample 1TB flash drive, and then easily access it from other devices from anywhere in the home."
The demonstration was actually pretty slick and it is useful. It was really funny to see the cursor go from the screen and over to the smartphone and be able to click on the programs icons.
The final product shown to me was the ATIV Book 9. This is a 12.2" laptop that weighs in at a pretty light 2.09 lbs. It has a very dense screen that is 2560x1600. Samsung is bringing back the 16:10 aspect ratio as they found it more useful for productivity work on this particular laptop. The laptop features the new Broadwell based Intel Core M 5Y70 processor with 8 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and around 10.5 hours of battery life. This particular configuration goes for around $1,400 US when it is released this quarter.
This probably would have been a much more impressive looking laptop if I had not seen the Dell XPS 13 with an edge to edge display. That model is around 11" wide and weighs slightly more at 2.6 pounds (2.8 pounds with the touchscreen version). Still, the ATIV Book 9 is an impressive performer with its 2560x1600 screen and half pound less weight.
After all is said and done, I really want 3 x S34E790Cs. Now if I can only get more desk space and a couple graphics cards that can push that resolution.

Steelseries colourful Siberia Elite Prism headset

Tagged: audio, gaming headset, Siberia Elite Prism, steelseries
Don't worry if the orange ring on the Steelseries Siberia Elite Prism headset turns you off as that is an LED which can be changed to one of 16.8 million colours which will shift or breath in time to your music. The headset has a frequency response of 16-28000 Hz and the unidirectional microphone is retractable for when it is not in use. The headset uses 3.5mm jacks and comes with adapters to allow you to plug it into a variety of mobile devices or into the USB soundcards which ships with the device when you are using it on a PC. The soundcard is not as good as a dedicated DAC but does add functionality to the headset as well. The noise cancellation will be appreciated in noisy environments but the headset is not for the completely antisocial as there is a 3.5mm jack on one earcup to allow a friend to plug in and share your music if you so desire. You can see MadShrimps full review here.
"Siberia Elite Prism is a slight improvement over the original Elite version which features better comfort for the ear-cups, a new, more flexible microphone, a slightly different color scheme for the white version but also a better design of the top frame. The bundled sound card can be used with PCs and laptops via USB, but the Elite Prism also comes with the necessary cables in order to connect the headset on analog to sound cards and mobile gadgets. SteelSeries Engine 3 makes configuration possible with a custom equalizer and many more…"

Just off of High Street, and any time the Bishop visits the cathedral, they have to first go into this church. This was the area of the original Norman Castle and the chapel may have been William the Conquerors private chapel.
A tiny church situated in a alleyway right in the centre with buildings jammed next to it, St Lawrence has a beautiful interior. Full of atmosphere and easily missed. Despite the impressiveness of the Cathedral round the corner, this is actually Winchester's parish church.
Tranquil space away from the shopping bustle outside.
Look out it as a venue for the Young Musician series of lunchtime concerts; part of the Winchester festival, first week in July.
Although thousands of people walk past his church every week, it is still probably one of Winchester's hidden gems.
Located between The Butter Cross in the High St. and The Square, leading to the City Museum (another gem), St. Lawrence's is well worth a few minutes of your time. I have visited when there has been a flower festival on...
Any church in a cathedral city is bound to be overshadowed by the cathedral. St Lawrence is a small church in the centre of Winchester close to the cathedral. If you are looking for a place to spend a few moments in quiet spiritual reflection then this church will meet your needs. There is a helpful guide leaflet which points...
Right in the centre of Winchester shopping and close to the Museum and Cathedral. Check for Services and Carol concerts - I think this is the oldest church about Winchester
This is a beautiful & very peaceful little church, tucked away near the Butter Cross - a perfect place to sit & have a moment of tranquillity away from the city's bustle.
What an intriguing little church. It is tucked away around a corner near the butter cross and easily missed. Steeped in history - probably one of William the Conqueror's chapels. It has survived many disasters such as Plague and fire.
This is a sweet and beautiful church with a really calm quiet atmosphere just off the high street. Interesting history of priests and donors, still in use.
We came across this little church by accident. It is rumoured to be built on what was the chapel of William the Conqueror's palace. A lovely little church and well worth seeing.

Hi Romain, what are you up to until January now that the season is over? Romain Grosjean: I'm doing a lot of physical training to keep fit throughout the winter period so this will be ongoing! I will mainly spend time with my family and do a bit less travelling although I will be going on holiday for a few days! In the end the break isn't actually that long and the new season will be around the corner before we know it.

Lotus is set to announce that Romain Grosjean is staying with the Enstone team in 2015.
Just a week ago, the Frenchman was saying he had the power to step out of his contract and move to a bigger team. But a lot – albeit all apparently behind the scenes – has changed in the intervening days, including reports that Fernando Alonso is definitely heading to McLaren-Honda.

Romain Grosjean has revealed an exit clause will allow him to walk away from Lotus at the end of the season.
Insiders believe the Frenchman, obviously frustrated by the Enstone team's struggles in 2014, is waiting for the Fernando Alonso situation to clear before re-committing to Lotus for another season.

On the face of it, the struggling team's switch from an underpowered Renault 'power unit' is good news for Lotus' frustrated drivers. "It will help Lotus," Grosjean agreed at Sochi. "I am sure that next year the team will be more competitive. The option of (staying with) Lotus has become quite attractive."

'Neighbors' Review
It's hell getting old. You're overworked, underpaid, get grey hairs, everything hurts, there's barely time for sex, you fall asleep on the couch watching 'Game of Thrones' and, unless you're George Clooney, you're just not cool anymore. You either hike up your pants and accept it, or you wage all out war. It's the latter that highlights the uproarious Seth Rogen and Zac Efron comedy 'Neighbors,' which just might be the funniest American movie since ... well, since Seth Rogen's last movie.
Has the 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Title Been Revealed?
The 'Star Wars: Episode 7' casting hasn't even been completed, with roles both major and supporting still left to be announced, so it seems a bit premature to already have the new 'Star Wars' title, but has it leaked online in advance of an official announcement?
Find Out Who's Who in the 'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Cast Photo With This Handy Graphic
Yesterday, the 'Star Wars: Episode 7' cast was announced, revealed alongside a group photo of the assembled team at the first table read in London. At the time, we only had a Facebook-sized photo, which made it somewhat difficult to parse who's who. Now, we've gotten our hands on a big, hi-res version and we've added some annotations so you clearly see who was in attendance.
'Star Wars: Episode 7′ Announces Cast, Original Stars Confirmed to Return
'Star Wars: Episode 7' has finally announced its cast after a long process that has spanned months of speculation and rumors. The stars of the original trilogy - Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker - have finally been confirmed, and they'll be joined by newcomers to the franchise Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Max von Sydow, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson.
Original 'Star Wars' Cast All Spotted in London as 'Episode 7′ is Set to Begin Filming
Listen, we all know 'Star Wars: Episode 7' will bring back Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. It has yet to be confirmed by Lucasfilm or Disney, but it's perhaps the worst-kept secret in Hollywood. But, if you need some additional confirmation ahead of the official 'Star Wars: Episode 7' cast announcement (rumored to be taking place on May 4), we do have word that all three of the original cast members were spotted in London this weekend as filming is set to begin.
Disney Chairman Admits They're Struggling With the Decision to Move 'Captain America 3′ Away From 'Batman vs. Superman'
The Marvel vs. DC dynamic has always been an interesting one, and it got a lot more interesting when 'Batman vs. Superman' plopped down on May 16, 2016, a release date already claimed by Marvel for 'Captain America 3.' Which one would blink first and move out of the way?
To this point, both sides have remained steadfast (Marvel president Kevin Feige recently said, "We're certainly keeping the date"), but there might be some cracks in the veneer as Disney Chairman Alan Horn admits they're "struggling" with the decision about whether or not to movie 'Captain America 3' out of the way of the 'Batman vs. Superman' juggernaut.
The New Netflix Price Increase and How It Will Affect You
'X-Men' Producers Want Jennifer Lawrence to Star in Mystique Spinoff Film
There once was a time when many X-Men spinoffs were proposed - including Magneto, Gambit and Deadpool films - but none actually happened. With a new regime at Fox, the 'X-Men' producers want to revisit the idea of mutant spinoffs and they have a new character in their sights: Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique.
'22 Jump Street' Red-Band Trailer: It's Spring Break, Motherf—ers
Phil Lord and Chris Miller may have passed up on 'Ghostbusters 3,' but that's completely fine with us if they keep making movies that look as funny as '22 Jump Street'. Today, the final red-band trailer has arrived and, in the rare case of the comedy sequel, it looks just as funny as the first.

That's it right there. He knew damn well he was throwing out deals he had no intention of honoring. I wonder what Parise and Weber are saying to eachother behind closed doors right now about their new boss.
The whole "he was negotiating within the old CBA" argument is so weak. Like he didn't know that CBA was about to expire and that there was a new CBA in mind that would have significant differences. Like he hadn't been thoroughly briefed by Bettman every step of the way. It's widely known Bettman prepared for the last lockout years in advance, and no doubt the same is true of this one. The owners all knew what kind of changes they and Bettman wanted, and they knew how far Bettman was willing to go to get there. He'd only done it twice before and had more games lost to work stoppage under his watch than any other sports league.
Gary has all the gullible sheep out there eating right out of his hand. This piece over at The Hockey Writers sums it up perfectly:

The breakfast was adequate, if it had 3 stars!
The hotel is in a red light district, should only warrant 3 stars, maybe 4 at a real stretch
Service, small -inadequate- restaurant, broken window
Excellent breakfast buffet
Inadequate staff. When asked about dinner buffet desk said it was not available even though it was.. Service desk not staffed.
Location was conveniently across the street from the Oslo Central Station.
The Sky Bar was closed every time we wanted to use it.
The warmth of the staff and the food they serve is absolutely a treat.
Charming, very good food--essentially you get full board included in the price of your room. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Location - bad neighborhood - rooms open to outdoors
Probably the nicest hotel gym/fitness center in the world. Location is excellent, only 2 blocks to the Central Station. Good breakfast, friendly staff. Rooms are somewhat spare, but clean and comfortable.
Clean, comfortable, quiet room. Breakfast provided
Somewhat generic construction. Little atmosphere
Breakfast was great
Rooms were small, pillows were terrible.
Location was perfect for us, right in the middle of the city, across street from subway and bus. Took train from airport which dropped us at hotel doorstep. Hotel staff was delightful, booked great seats for opera at new opera house. Rest. in hotel great.
Buy a Oslo Pass to get into all museums and all public transport.
Great breakfast, terrific central location.
Rooms were small but quite functional.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Leaving aside the square/rectangular designer's intent controversy for a moment, when I did my first ever Thermian-style design back in college, it turned out that the 2 windows which were meant to correspond to the observation deck were actually too low down to be anywhere near it, hence I went for the "shuttered" approach to the windows, the same as
However, that's for a standard 947' vessel.
If the Enterprise were actually closer to 1500 feet in length (as suggested by an earlier post when fitting the shuttlebay set into it), maybe that is no longer the case, so the rectangular windows could just be further on down the corridor!
There are a ton of issues with the 947' length... a big part of why my ship isn't 947' is that the ship simply didn't work at that length (I initially tried). Of course, 1080' is much closer but there were still some issues that didn't quite work with that. I eventually arrived at 1067' as you may recall. This was driven by a bunch of "spacing" issues, not the least of which was trying to get windows to line up properly with deckplanes.
In my version, the landing bay observation gallery is literally on the same deck plane as the rest of that deck, and the windows match up very closely.
If you stick with 947' the problems are pretty severe, however.

Officials at the National Institutes of Health have released a request for proposals for a 10-year, $20 billion solicitation for the CIO - Commodities and Solutions contract, Washington Technology reports.
The governmentwide acquisition contract will provide agencies with products and services related to general IT and health and life sciences IT capabilities, according to Washington Technology, one of FCW's sister publications.
Beyond health and biomedical research, CIO-CS will also offer services aligned with support for information management, operational and administrative needs, such as security, infrastructure, telecommunications and desktop applications.
CIO-CS will supersede NIH's Electronics Commodities Store III contract, which expires in November. Washington Technology reports that CIO-CS should increase NIH's total contract awards from 40 to 75. Responses to the RFP are due by June 11.

Thanksgiving Recipes from The Hills
A few of our standby favorite recipes for the holiday season!
Thanksgiving Turkey
3 or 4 leaves fresh sage
salt and pepper
turkey rub (recipe below)
aluminum foil
Bowman & Landes Fresh Turkey
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Season cavities of turkey with salt and pepper and insert sage leaves. Crumple pieces of foil into balls and place in cavities. Fold wings under and place in roasting pan. Rub all over with turkey rub. Place in oven for 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325 degrees and roast until done. (The instant read thermometer should register 170 degrees at the thickest part of the thigh. Do not let it touch the bone.) During roasting, remove 2 or 3 times to baste with its juices. If turkey reaches the desired brown color before it is done, place a tented piece of foil loosely over top of turkey.
When done, remove pan from oven, remove turkey carefully from pan and let stand at least 20 minutes before carving.
Turkey Rub
(This can be made the day before)
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup salt
Mix ingredients and set aside. Bring to room temperature before using.
Madiera Gravy
(Can be made two days in advance)
turkey neck, giblets and any trimming
1 rib celery
1 carrot
1 small onion
2 cloves
1 bay leaf
2 or 3 large sprigs of parsley
1 1/2 cups chicken broth (or Bowman & Landes Turkey Broth)
1 cup Madiera wine
additional water, to cover
for serving day
2 TB. Madiera wine
3 TB. butter or turkey fat
3 TB. flour
Place turkey giblets, neck and trimmings in a small saucepan. Break carrot and celery in half and place in saucepan. Cut onion in half, stick one clove in each half and add to saucepan. Add bay leaf and parsley. Add one cup wine and chicken broth and enough water (if needed) to cover. Bring to boil, lower heat to simmer, cover with lid slightly ajar and cook for two hours. Strain. You should have two cups. If not, add enough water to equal two cups. Chop giblets and add them back to stock if desired. Chill.
While turkey is sitting:
In saucepan, melt butter or turkey fat and stir in flour. Let cook over moderate heat until flour aroma disappears, about 1 minute.
Pour all juices from turkey roasting pan into tall narrow cup or fat separator. Let fat rise to top and pour brown juice underneath into saucepan with gravy. Put roasting pan over heat and deglaze with remaining 2 TB. Madiera and about 1/4 to 1/2 cup water. Let it boil, scraping up any brown bits to dissolve them. Add content to gravy and season with salt and pepper.
If gravy is too thick, add some stock or milk. If too thin, dissolve 1 TB. cornstarch in 1 TB. cool water and stir, a bit at a time, into simmering gravy until desired consistency is reached. Remember, it will continue to thicken as it cools.
Simple Stuffing
8 cups day-old bread, cut or torn into pieces, about 1/4 inch square
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2 sticks unsalted butter
salt and pepper
poultry seasoning
Melt butter in large pot. Add celery and onion and cook over medium heat until softened. Add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. (About 1 teaspoon of the salt and pepper and 1 TB. poultry seasoning, to start.) Stir to incorporate. Add bread and stir to mix thoroughly. Cook on low heat until all the bread is coated. Adjust seasoning.
Note: You may add more melted butter if mixture seems too dry.
Place in oven-proof pan and reheat before serving. If stuffing in turkey, it must reach 160 degrees on instant read thermometer to serve safely.
Cranberry Orange Sauce
(Can be made two days in advance)
12 oz cranberries
1 cup sugar
1 cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, dissolve sugar into orange juice, stirring from time to time. Stir in cranberries and cook until cranberries start to "pop" or open, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and pour sauce into bowl. Refrigerate. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Hills in the Press
In a guest post on the popular local blog Breakfast With Nick, Jess and Rob from the blog $20Dates raved about Destination Donuts at the Hills Market Downtown as part of their Columbus donut roundup! The Columbus couple had these kinds words to say about our Downtown store: "With local candy, cheese, beer, meat, produce, dessert, hot sauce & more, The Hills Market Downtown has got it going on!"
A few other media mentions over the past couple of months:
In the August issue of Columbus Monthly, Dara Schwartz of our Darista Cafe pop-up shared her expert shopping tips.
And in the August issue of Crave, Hills and our vendors got lots of love. Dan the Baker shared the story of his rising business -- he started his wholesale business out of the back of our Worthington store and still sells his artisan breads at both stores. Jeremy Wells, the chalkboard artists who creates all of our in-store signage, was featured along with other prominent local sign artists. Nicholas Dekker wrote his Breakfast With Nick column all about crepes, inclucing Crepes a la Cart, who provides our weekly Sunday brunch at the Downtown store. And Harvest Pizzeria's Chris Crader talks up Harvest's new frozen pizzas, sold at both Hills Market locations.

The new government may be less anti-democratic then its predecessor but anyone expecting wholesale changes will be sadly disappointed. From its inception, Israel has never wanted to treat all its citizens equally, in recent years it has become apparent that it will no longer even consider a peace formula based on the green line with negotiated land swaps and East Jerusalem as capital of Palestine and it will never be prepared to stop feather-bedding the haredim. The nature of Israel's soul is known to all, anyone who thinks that it will change is deluding themselves.
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.

How Will Boomers Buy Hearing Aids?
by Stephen Reily on Feb 11, 7:19 AM
For the last year or so, my interest in the Boomer marketplace and new products has gotten me thinking about the hearing aid market. It is hard to find a major consumer product category more in need of disruptive innovation.

We did not like this attraction at all. The plantation is a metal buttler building. There is a 10min. tour to show how the tea is made and then you can pay a fee to ride a bus through the plantation to look at the tea bushes. Just wasn't what we expected.
Added a trip to the Charleston Tea Plantation and it was the highlight of my mother's trip! I never knew tea grew in North America and surprised that this is the only tea plantation in North America! Such a great learning experience to see how tea is processed. The tour isn't long and the plantation is relaxing. Hot and Iced... More
The highlight is the shuttle ride around the grounds. The driver provides an interesting tale of the nation's only tea plantation. There is a shop that sells lots of tea and tea items (of course). It's a nice palce to visit if you have a break in your day and you are out this way. It's not a highlight but... More
A great drive out of Charleston to see a rural area undeveloped. Short but free video "tour of factory. But does give clear info on how to get from picked leaves to actual tea used to ale drinks The trolley tour shows the fields and the propagation process. Plenty of free samples of brewed tea.
We really enjoyed the farm tour ($10), had free tea to drink while waiting; and great gift shop for souvenirs. Yes, it's worth the trip; about 30 minutes SW of Charleston. Stop and see the Angel Oak on your way too! Bathrooms could be modernized, but hey, it's a farm, ya know? Beautiful setting and the only agricultural tour that... More
I like everything about this place! Very peaceful! There's a free tour about the tea - history of plantation/planting/harvesting/processing. The tour is DVD guided and very informative. Do this before the trolley tour. There is a $10.00 fee to take a trolley ride tour through the plantation. The guide/driver gave well detailed information and you also receive information from a... More
CTP was not advertised in local guides. I learned about them from the many brochures I saw. It's well worth the stop, it was a highlight! The $10 admission, gets you a tour of the plantation where you learn about tea planting and harvesting, and all the tea you can drink. You can also stop by the gift store and... More
We were expecting a little more from the Plantation. There is a gift shop that offers free unlimited samples of the Charleston Tea brands: about 4 or so iced flavors and 4 or 5 hot ones. We picked up a Raspberry tea and I was glad because I noticed two other locations that carried the brand and had marked the... More
The plantation provides a narrated tour of the grounds in a trolley. Tickets are about $10. The plant processing tour is free - it offers video/TV narration and explanation of the machinery. Plenty of free tea samples, friendly helpful staff, picnic area under live oaks.
We went on a rainy day in March. The factory is working from late April to November. Even though we didn't want to take the trolley tour in the rain and we only did the factory tour (with the factory not operating), it was worth the trip out from Charleston. It's an easy 35-40 minute drive out to the plantation.... More

The Space
Our home is literally one of a kind. Designed by leading architect H.L. Rowe, three years were spent planning and building it with every modern convenience of the day, including lighting that had a unique gas and electric configuration to keep reliable gas, but to use the latest technology, which was electricity. No expense was spared and a total of $ 18,000 was spent. Subsequent owners were not as flush as Mr. McCain, who built it for his family. This turned out to be a blessing; over the next 8 decades very few changes were made. We found original woodwork that was never painted, ceilings that were never dropped, pocket doors that, while they were locked behind walls by shag carpeting, were never removed, and chandeliers hung exactly where they were placed in 1897.
We bought the house in 1999 and replaced all of the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof and brick mortar while preserving every possible original detail. The result is a like-new house with historical elegance.
Guest Access
Guests will have four bedrooms, two offices, kitchen, living room, parlor, four bathrooms and plenty of closet space.
Interaction with Guests
Interaction will vary. Sometimes we will be staying nearby, other times we may choose to take a day trip to another city.
The Neighborhood
Northside is the largest of Lexington's original neighborhoods. It certainly went though some tough times when living downtown was for those who could not afford to relocate to the suburbs. All of that changed when it gained protection under Historical Zoning about 25 years ago, and when urban living became the green-and cool- way to go.
The neighborhood still had a way to go when we first moved in, but over the past 14 years lots of new restaurants, bars and shops have opened within walking distance. Houses don't stay on the market very long and there are very few houses left that have not been renovated.
Getting around
Third Street has wonderful access to Interstate 75, Interstate 64, and all of Lexington's main streets. The buses run just a short walk from our home.
We have lovingly restored this home with our own hands. We expect guests to take care of it as if it were their home.
Teri made us feel welcome from the moment we booked. She was prompt in answering my enquires about her home and very accommodating.
The house is amazing! We were in town for the wedding celebration of my daughter and her husband and this was a perfect location for our entire family. As my son said, "it's like being in a museum except you can touch things". Teri has collected many treasures from the period and arranged them artfully. AND the bathrooms and kitchen are very 21st century in function while appearing appropriate for the period. The house is comfortable, the location is ideal, and the hostess is warm and thoughtful. Fabulous stay!
Pictures and words can not describe the beauty of this home. We felt privileged to stay here and glad that Teri shares this treasure with others. The house is walking distance to tons of restaurants and historic sites. The entire neighborhood is lovely,you feel you have stepped back in time. They have a wonderful book sharing things to do and see while you are visiting Lexington. The house made the trip very special and hopefully we will get back again soon.
This is an amazing house in a spectacular location in the Lexington downtown. And Teri was very welcoming and even accommodated our plans/schedule. We really appreciated her great directory of local restaurants and bars along with spot-on directions. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
This home is even more charming and awe-inspiring in person! A group of friends and I stayed here for a wedding weekend. My husband and his friends were in the wedding and it was great to all be in one very comfortable place. Our hosts were fabulous and truly opened their home to us. We loved investigating the house full of modern conveniences, yet also still exhibiting the features of it's history. If you're looking for a place to host a larger group of people and close to downtown Lexington, book this house. Teri is so kind and the house is more beautiful than the pictures show:)
The reservation was canceled 413 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
The house was great! A group of friends and I stayed here for the bourbon trail and couldn't ask for a better location. Also Teri made sure the house was perfect for all of us and couldn't ask for better hosts!
The reservation was canceled 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Overview:Outside vendors are an essential element of credit union operations and their contracts are a regular part of life. But too often, contracts are signed without a full review or complete understanding of the terms beyond price and delivery. Unfortunately, what you don't know can hurt you. The contract that the vendor provides is basically their "wish list" of terms and conditions. Worse yet, it was drafted by their attorney with the sole purpose of locking you in to their deal. This session is designed to teach you the basics of effective contract negotiation, review, and management.
Who Should Attend?This informative session is designed for executives, senior managers, department managers, project managers, and anyone involved with vendor selection and management. Attendance verification for CE credits provided upon request.

Some observations on the food scene in Singapore:
1) Singapore is of course the original home of "street food," based in so-called "hawker centers" that are everywhere around the city. (I knew that "street food" had arrived when I was in Stockholm last year and saw a restaurant called "Singapore" in a fancy location downtown, with a sign indicating they served "street food.") Hawkers have been around for a long time in Singapore, but they underwent an official rebirth into so-called "hawker centers" when the government set aside space, at low rent, in the government-owned housing developments that dominate the city, for hawkers in just about every residential community on the island. These serve low-priced (usually $6 or less) meals of various kinds of noodles, dumplings, soups, satays, etc. The government's involvement in this, and the effort to channel chaos into some kind of order (though the hawker centers are pretty lively and even boisterous) is very typically Singaporean.2) A kind person at a Harvard Club of Singapore dinner gave me some good advice – which I hadn't known before, and which blog readers who interact with Chinese people in an eating setting may find useful – about chopstick etiquette. I was holding chopsticks in my hand and, in-between using them to take some food, gesticulating (mildly) with that hand. This turns out to be impolite. You should not move your chopsticks around with your hands or point with them. Put them down while you are gesticulating or don't gesticulate.3) The version of Chinese food served in Singapore restaurants has adapted to Western ways in one important respect – the frequent presence, at least in Chinese restaurants serving a lot of Western customers, of a Western-style dessert course. Traditional Chinese cuisine doesn't really include dessert, although fruit is typically served at the end of a meal. Chinese people don't make the same distinction Westerners do between sweet dishes and other foods. People who have eaten in a dim sum restaurant in an American Chinatown may have noticed that Chinese customers order, for example, dumplings with sweet bean taste as just another course of their meal, eaten in between spinach with garlic and spicy pork wontons. There does not seem to be a Chinese equivalent of every mother's American phrase, "No dessert before you've finished your dinner." However, in many Singapore Chinese restaurants, there is a mouth-watering page of desserts, generally pancakes or dumplings filled with different kinds of sweet pastes or sweetened dried fruits.4) American fast food is big in Singapore, which boasts some chains – such as California Pizza Kitchen, Dunkin Donuts, and Popeye's – not seen that much elsewhere in Asia. Starbucks outlets are everywhere, some of them open around the clock. However, the menu balance is very different from the US. Not surprisingly given the tropical climate, there is a big emphasis on cold drinks. However, even the hot coffee offerings have a different emphasis. Starbucks standard US offerings are reduced to a one pathetic line on the menu called "café Americano," under a hot coffee section of the menu called "expressos."

Looking for some feedback
I represented a woman in a divorce case around 1990. During the course of my representation, it became clear that she was quite mentally ill, to a degree that it was terribly difficult to work with her. Paranoid schizophrenia, if I were to make an educated guess.
After maybe six months, she decided to find another attorney. I confirmed with him that he would be handling her case, gave the file to him, and that was the last I had to do with her.
Several years after I concluded my representation, she allegedly broke into the boat where her ex-husband was living at 3:00 in the morning using an axe, then threatened to kill him with the axe. She was charged with attempted murder, though I'm not sure what happened with the case.
I didn't hear a thing from her until 2008, when, out of the blue, she started calling me. I returned the first message that she left and explained that I wasn't her attorney any more and hadn't been for nearly 20 years, but she wasn't having any of it. She ranted and raved to the point that I had to hang up on her. I didn't answer or return any more phone calls, and didn't even listen to most of them. I did save them - there were 18 in a one-week period. Then they stopped.
I started getting them again yesterday, and there have been four so far. They're not threatening, just abusive and "crazy-sounding" (angry, loud, pressured speech). I went ahead and saved these, too.
I've been writing these off and ignoring them, but recently started wondering whether I should do something about them. I'm not sure what I could do, other than notify the police. Who would do nothing at this point, other than keep them on file.
Just wondering what you all think.
I would call the police, on the non-emergency number. Two reasons--one, if anything happens in the future, there's a record of her behavior. Two, they will be able to tell you what you can do now, and what you can do in the future if she escalates.
There may be nothing that can be done right now, depending on the laws in your area. But getting this sort of thing on record is frequently a help later on, if things get worse, which I hope they don't.
Given her past behavior, the police might also have some simple tips for you to make sure you are safe.
Definitely call the police, and the phone company .,.. they can trace the calls and even record them.
Take their advice, and also install a home security system with lighting and alarm.
She may be just verbal, or she may get violent.
Having worked in criminal law and mental health, I concur with notifying the police, but in person, if only to get it on the record and to meet you. If she should escalate, they would then have some background info and at least have an idea of what and who they are dealing with.
You cannot deal rationally with an irrational person.
I agree, you need to file a police report so if something serious happens = or threats, or even coming to your home, you have it on file. Put everything you have listed here in the report, including what hap pend originally. Do you have caller ID with name and phone number showing? I keep track of certain phone calls in a note book that way. Ask the police if you should tell her about making the report-they will advise you and if it gets bad, they may even talk to her. Just keep your guard up and be careful. Watch your mail and any cars you park out of the garage. Document everything she appears to do and say.
