Hello all, first time poster, veteran MMOer, and newly-christened GW fanatic.
Currently my main is a Mesmer/Necromancer, focused on Illusion and Blood Magic for single damage to one target and surviability. Lately I'm not sure how much I am going to like this build, especially when it comes time to join a guild and start PvPing. Any thoughts on a Me/Ne build that isn't a Curse build? I like my damage capacity :) I also considered Me/W, but figured it would probably be a bad idea. Me/E is another consideration, an Earth/Domination build would be fun just to mess with people.
Thanks ahead of time for any input.

Mesothelioma Victims Center's Mesothelioma Victims Bill of Rights Now Offers Unparalleled Free Services for a Victim Seeking the Best Mesothelioma Attorneys & Support
The Mesothelioma Victims Center is passionate about providing an extremely high quality free service for all US victims of mesothelioma cancer, and their services are outlined in the group's Mesothelioma Victims Bill of Rights. The groups Mesothelioma Victims Bill of Rights includes, creating a customized mesothelioma cancer treatment options report, that is unique to the victim of mesothelioma, and will detail the best mesothelioma oncology physicians, medical practice groups, or hospitals in the specific area, and region of the victim, and will include specific contact information. In addition, if a US Navy Veteran, an individual, or a family is concerned about compensation after getting the news of a mesothelioma diagnosis, the Mesothelioma Victims Center will provide the names, and specific contacts of the best, and most successful mesothelioma attorneys in the United States. No other group, or organization offers anything close to these services, or resources for a victim of mesothelioma in the United States. If a family is trying to deal with the what to do issues after a loved one receives a mesothelioma diagnosis, they are strongly encouraged to contact the Mesothelioma Victims Center at 866-714-6466, for a service that has no equal, when it comes to the best possible information, recourses, and unequaled support. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
(PRWEB) January 25, 2012
The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "What most mesothelioma victims, or families dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis do not realize is the Internet, and or cable TV is loaded with lead generation personal injury law firms advertising so called help, as opposed to one single source that provides an individual, or family dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis the names of the best, and most successful mesothelioma attorneys in the United States." Offering the names, and specific contacts of the best mesothelioma lawyers, or mesothelioma trial attorneys is a vital service, that separates the Mesothelioma Victims Center from any other group in the US. The group says, "Further, if a mesothelioma victim, or their family members call us; as part of our Mesothelioma Victims Bill of Rights, we will create a customized mesothelioma treatment options report, that provides the specific names, and contacts for the absolute best mesothelioma cancer treatment options in the specific area of the mesothelioma victim. What sounds better, a free offer to get a generic book about mesothelioma from a personal injury mesothelioma marketing firm, or a customized mesothelioma treatment options report, that is researched for a specific mesothelioma victim, and it is based on where they live? If you, or a loved one is dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis, we are strongly encouraging a call to the Mesothelioma Victims Center at 866-714-6466 for a service that has no equal in the United States." http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com
The Mesothelioma Victim Center's Bill of Rights includes:
- The names and specific contacts for the most successful, and reputable mesothelioma attorneys, or mesothelioma trial lawyers in the United States. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "There really can be a huge difference between getting a second, or third string mesothelioma personal injury attorney, and or getting the absolute best mesothelioma attorneys in the United States, when it comes to compensation. We recommend, and provide the specific contacts for the best, and the most capable mesothelioma attorneys in the US. No other group offers this vital service."
- A customized mesothelioma cancer treatment options report, that is designed to identify the best mesothelioma cancer treatment options, in the specific area, region, and nation for a victim of mesothelioma
- The Mesothelioma Victims Center will always be on call to any family dealing with mesothelioma. This includes assisting a family with how to live with mesothelioma, assistance with hospice, or any other need they may have.
- The Mesothelioma Victims Center's Mesothelioma Victims Bill of Rights has been specifically designed to help mesothelioma victims in Florida, Ohio, New York, California, Georgia, Arkansas, Idaho, Texas, Michigan, Louisiana, Washington, Virginia, Minnesota, Arizona, Illinois, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Alabama, Montana, Utah, Maine, and all other US States.
Who can get Mesothelioma? Mesothelioma is linked to exposure to asbestos. Individuals who served in the US Navy, or as oil refinery workers, ship yard workers, employees of defense contractors, rail road workers, power plant workers, chemical industry workers, automotive repair specialists, construction workers, plumbers, demolition contractors, were all exposed to asbestos in the 1940′s, 1950′s, 1960′s, 1070′s, and 1980′s. Tragically, one third of all US mesothelioma victims served in the United States Navy, or are US Navy Veterans. The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "The worst thing about a mesothelioma cancer diagnosis is typically it comes out of the blue. Frequently, an individual served in the US Navy, worked in a power plant, an oil refinery, or a shipyard decades ago, they get pneumonia type symptoms, it does not get better, and in some cases the doctors finally figure out its mesothelioma." Individuals, or families dealing with a mesothelioma diagnosis, or living with mesothelioma are encouraged to contact the Mesothelioma Victims Center anytime at 866-714-6466 for their unparalleled free services. http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.com

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|26 nights
Walk or ride bikes from the beach to this tropical paradise. Come in through the gate and wash off in the outside travertine shower and take a cool dip in the pool with the waterfall rushing by you. Relax in the jacuzzi or enter the pool house and turn on the steam shower. Pour a cool one from the outside poolhouse kitchen and turn on the surround sound music while returning to the pool and further relaxing in the jacuzzi. Be brave and try the waterfall slide or watch the kids/grandkids go round and round....or your significant other in the complete privacy of the back yard.
At night put the logs in the outside fireplace and turn on the overhead heaters if necessary and pretend you are at an outdoor movie theatre by bringing the large screen TV outside. And you thought it was beautiful in the day..........enchanting evenings.
I raised my two sons and their 15 close friends at the house. The furniture is done by Jones and Jones Designs of Maui. It is a very comfortable and beautiful home.
Judy Dunham purchased this estate in 1994
Steam shower in the pool house. Outdoor large wood burning fireplace. Rock speakers around the pool. Jacuzzi in pool with the waterfall slide. Outside shower and bath by jacuzzi. Master has shower with two shower heads and jets with large cast iron bathtub.
This was the best holiday we have ever been on. There were 17 of us and not once did we feel we were tripping over one another. The villa is so spacious and the area is lovely and quiet. The pool was a highlight and the children loved the slide. Me and my husband shared the largest room downstairs with our 2 children and it was a lovely size. We stayed over Halloween and Judy even came over with some sweets for trick or treaters. When we left, I had left some very treasured jewellery behind (one a family heirloom from my late grandmother) and once Judy heard about it, she went out of her way to return the forgotten property. Something of which I will be eternally grateful for. Thank you Judy, you are a superstar! If there were more stars available then I would award you the top amount everytime. Would love to go back.
Our family, including 2 grandparents, 6 adult children and 8 grandchildren (ages 21 down to age 6) had the absolute best time staying at this wonderful Coronado property! From the super clean house to the awesome heated pool, water slide and hot tub to the pool house we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is very spacious...starting with the open plan vaulted great room..dining room..kitchen to the 4 main floor bedrooms and 2nd floor loft large bedroom( our grandsons took over the loft and had a ball) to the nicely equipped laundry room and fantastic pool house with king bed, fireplace, bathroom and kitchen we just enjoyed our time there. The best thing about the place was that we immediately felt very comfortable and at home there. Thanks, Judy, for helping our family make a lifetime of memories there!
We stayed here for a month and had a wonderful, amazing stay. Judy the owner of the house ensured right from the first day that everything was in place for us. We were a party of 17. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms are huge! Plenty of towels for both indoor and outdoor use. The games in the cupboard gave the children hours of fun. The pool was fabulous and we used it everyday. The children loved the slide and jacuzzi. The outside BBQ area allowed us to spend lots of time outside together cooking and eating while the children splashed. Judy could not have been more helpful. Thank you for an absolutely wonderful holiday. We travelled from the UK and would definitely stay again if so many of us went away again.
I almost don't won't to give this property a great review, because it will lessen the chances that it will be available the next time I'm in the San Diego area. That, however, would be selfish. Rented this property for two weeks and shared it with various parts of my extended family. It lives much bigger than it actually is. Every square inch of outside space is put to use. It was great for drinking coffee in the morning and wine by the fire in the evening. The grandkids loved the slide/pool. Comfortable beds. Plenty of places to sit in the house. The house is on a street that doesn't get much traffic. We rented a car to go to La Jolla and Torrey Pines and Disneyland, but if you just want to stay in Coronado you don't need one. You can walk to restaurants, shops and the beach. There are 3 bikes, a pack and play and a portable high chair in the garage. Miguel's and Rhinocerous Cafe were our favorite restaurants. If you get time to go to San Diego try C-Level restaurant right near the airport. It had a great view and was the best food we had during the two weeks. Caught a play at Lamb's Players Theater and it was very enjoyable. Also was walking distance from the house. The pictures accurately depict the rental. The house was well-kept and fairly well equipped. A couple of things need replacing and I will mention those to Judith. Judith is a very friendly owner. It's a great house for multi-generational groups, but really would fit about anyone. Can easily sleep 12 without any blow up beds, but with kids you could use the blow up beds that are in the closet and sleep 3 or 4 more up in the loft. All in all a great place to vacation.
This was a wonderful venue for our multi-generation family vacation! The home is in a quiet neighborhood but within close proximity to the beach. We walked, biked, paddle-boarded and spent many hours enjoying the beautiful pool and spa. I would absolutely recommend this home as a vacation rental!
We had a great family week at this VRBO. The home was exactly as advertised and the pictures appropriate. Very nice quality and ample furnishings, linens and amenities. We were a family grouping of grandparents, children and grandchildren. We all enjoyed private sleeping and closet space and the easy ability to have group dining/activities inside and outside.
Cable, Internet and many games were available.
The highlights of this rental were the heated pool, the outside paradise with lots of seating, grill, shower, lighting, heaters, fireplace, hot tub and water slide. The pool house was perfect for one couple with small child and as source of outside drinks and food. It was nice to have 2 full size refrigerators. The washer/dryer were much appreciated. We fluffed our pool towels to provide dry towels for the next morning.
We enjoyed walks and bike rides to the beach, shopping and dining. The trolley, public transportation, water taxi and ferry provided easy access to downtown San Diego, Balboa Park and the Zoo. Beaches were within walking distance for most - we did rent a car for baby seats, grocery shopping and the older and younger of the group. Coupons available at Ferry Landing Market Place.
The owner and the service providers were on call as needed and did routine visits to the home. Phone numbers for problems were available and the response was quick. Since most of our party wanted to swim early and late, we requested the pool heating program be revised slighty to accomodate this.
Some of us used taxi service to and fro the airport. Coronado Island Yellow Cab was reasonable and familiar with the streets of Coronado. The cabs grabbed at the airport, were not familiar with Coronado...they needed our help with the smart phone.
During the summer months, Coronado has weekly farmer's markets, tours, concerts, art displays in the park and other fun stuff to see and do plus free bus service to major points of the island. Don't miss the Coronado Museum of History on Orange Avenue.
We enjoy dine-in and carryout from Peohe's, Lil'Piggy BBQ, Nicky Rotter's, Miquels, Marriott, the Del, Coronado Brewing Company.
Our group was pleased with the ease of curbside recycling.
We much appreciated the attention to detail from the owner and the service providers. We were well cared for and would come back to this property. The relaxed pace of Coronado and the ease of getting over to San Diego, make this location perfect.

Publisher's Description
Basics of Ancient Ugaritic is a teaching grammar of this ancient language, one spoken at the time of Abraham occuring in ancient texts in cuneiform writing. It begins with the alphabet, and each new lesson builds on the ones before it. It is not, therefore, a synthetic Ugaritic grammarthese types of texts often prove to be overwhelming for students.
Instead, Basics of Ancient Ugaritic can be used for learning the language by individuals on their own or in a classroom setting. Each chapter concludes with a set of exercises allowing students to know whether they are grasping the fundamentals of the language.
In short, Basics of Ancient Ugaritic represents an ideal first text for entering the larger world of Semitic languages.

The ever sexy Rihanna commemorated the founding of our great country this weekend by wearing a see-through red dress at Hooray Henry's in Hollywood on July 4th. The outfit is made out of lace or something and is as transparent as one of my grandmother's couch doilies, (old Latin ladies love their doilies). The whole outfit screams, "freedom". Mainly, it's freedom from bras because she isn't wearing one. Rih-Rih's luscious funbags were in almost full view from the front and you get a good eye-full of her sideboobs as well. Rihanna has one of the most spectacular racks in the music biz.
I know that because I've seen them up close and personal and I can tell you that they are amazeballs. I was once in a room at a function with her and she was wearing a see-through outfit then too and I got a good look at them. I see a pattern emerging.

Question about a cablet outlet and cable modem
by konikitty - 4/22/12 8:19 PM
Hi everyone, I hope this is in the right place. I am not entirely sure how to phrase my question as I am not the homeowner in this house and so I don't know exactly what our wiring scheme is.
We have a cable modem hooked up in my mom's study to a cable wall outlet. We have wireless internet from the modem & router in there. I need to move the modem & router to the other side of the house, closer to mine and my siblings' rooms. I moved it into my room tonight but the modem didn't connect to the internet. It turned on, but the only light besides the power light was the DS light, flashing. The US, Online, and Link lights never came on. The router was able to broadcast our network, but no one could connect to the internet as it was not available.
I moved the modem to the other cable jack in my room which normally has the TV cable hooked up to it, but it still did not receive internet. Same thing with the TV cable in the kitchen. It seems that the only cable outlet in our house that provides internet connection to the modem is in the worst place. (No one uses internet on that side of the house; all of us internet users are on the opposite side of the house.)
So my question is, how do I make the cable outlet in my room (either the one behind my desk that has never connected to anything or the one that is usually connected to the TV) provide internet connection?
Our provider is Knology, I believe. I can get specifics if needed, but this seems like more of a generalized question than a router/modem-specific issue.
Thanks in advance!!

I have a vented Rev 1 with 4 wraps and 3 wraps and a vented B Series and mid vented B Series with race rods as well as the 3 and 4 wrap rods. I know the kites can handle higher wind speeds but I'm wonder if my 90# lines are strong enough.
Do I need to get 150# or 200# linesets so that they don't break when the wind is kicking? I have a nice 90# 120' LPG lineset but I'd hate to break the lineset. I try not to fly in more than 14 mph (according to weather.com) because that seems like the kite is really pulling in that kind of wind.
If you don't have a SLE frame try one on your vented. I flew this frame on a 1.5FV/85'-90# in 15+ and really liked it, didn't seem to overpower things..

When the Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X first launched last year, they were plagued by issues of overheating and variable clock speeds. We looked at the situation several times over the course of a couple months and AMD tried to address the problem with newer drivers. These drivers did help stabilize clock speeds (and thus performance) of the reference built R9 290 and R9 290X cards but caused noise levels to increase as well.
The real solution was the release of custom cooled versions of the R9 290 and R9 290X from AMD partners like ASUS, MSI and others. The ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II model for example, ran cooler, quieter and more consistently than any of the numerous reference models we had our hands on.
But what about all those buyers that are still purchasing, or have already purchased, reference style R9 290 and 290X cards? Replacing the cooler on the card is the best choice and thanks to our friends at NZXT we have a unique solution that combines standard self contained water coolers meant for CPUs with a custom built GPU bracket.
Our quick test will utilize one of the reference R9 290 cards AMD sent along at launch and two specific NZXT products. The Kraken X40 is a standard CPU self contained water cooler that sells for $100 on Amazon.com. For our purposes though we are going to team it up with the Kraken G10, a $30 GPU-specific bracket that allows you to use the X40 (and other water coolers) on the Radeon R9 290.
Inside the box of the G10 you'll find an 80mm fan, a back plate, the bracket to attach the cooler to the GPU and all necessary installation hardware. The G10 will support a wide range of GPUs, though they are targeted towards the reference designs of each:
NVIDIA : GTX 780 Ti, 780, 770, 760, Titan, 680, 670, 660Ti, 660, 580, 570, 560Ti, 560, 560SE
That is pretty impressive but NZXT will caution you that custom designed boards may interfere.
The installation process begins by removing the original cooler which in this case just means a lot of small screws. Be careful when removing the screws on the actual heatsink retention bracket and alternate between screws to take it off evenly.

AMD Radeon R9 290X shows up for $549 on Newegg. Is the worst behind us?
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 4, 2014 - 03:38 PM | Ryan Shrout

Yes, I know it is only one card. And yes I know that this could sell out in the next 10 minutes and be nothing, but I was so interested, excited and curious about this that I wanted to put together a news post. I just found a Radeon R9 290X card selling for $549 on Newegg.com. That is the normal, regular, non-inflated, expected retail price.
You can get a Powercolor AXR9 290X with 4GB of memory for $549 right now, likely only if you hurry. That same GPU on Amazon.com will cost you $676. This same card at Newegg.com has been as high as $699:
Again - this is only one card on one site, but the implications are positive. This is also a reference design card, rather than one of the superior offerings with a custom cooler. After that single card, the next lowest price is $629, followed by a couple at $649 and then more at $699. We are still waiting to hear from AMD on the issue, what its response is and if it can actually even do anything to fix it. It seems plausible, but maybe not likely, that the draw of coin mining is reached a peak (and who can blame them) and the pricing of AMD GPUs could stabilize. Maybe. It's classified.
But for now, if you want an R9 290X, Newegg.com has at least one option that makes sense.
Just a reminder of the state of Hawaii

Confirming the results that Ryan and other sites have seen are the results of [H]ard|OCP's testing of two different retail R9 290X GPUs against a pair of press sample cards. Much as with Ryan's findings even using the newer Catalyst 13.11 Beta 5 driver, Quiet mode performance varies far more than Uber mode does but even Uber mode displays some differences between models. However they draw a slightly different conclusion based on their experiences, determining that the variance is not just a matter of press samples versus retail cards but a variance between any and all 290X GPUs. The complexity of this huge chip is such that the differences in manufacturing process and tolerances are to blame and some cards will simply be better than others. They also are disappointed by AMD's marketing team, citing that the key is 'With NVIDIA GTX 600 and 700 series the video cards are "running faster than advertised" and with AMD R9 290X the video card is running "slower than advertised."'
"The AMD Radeon R9 290X arrived recently with a high level of performance, and a high level of controversy. There have been reports of performance variance between Radeon R9 290X video cards. We have two purchased retail cards today with stock cooling that we will test and see if performance variances exist."

Sapphire Triple Fan Hawaii
It was mid-December when the very first custom cooled AMD Radeon R9 290X card hit our offices in the form of the ASUS R9 290X DirectCU II. It was cooler, quieter, and faster than the reference model; this is a combination that is hard to pass up (if you could buy it yet). More and more of these custom models, both in the R9 290 and R9 290X flavor, are filtering their way into PC Perspective. Next on the chopping block is the Sapphire Tri-X model of the R9 290X.
Sapphire's triple fan cooler already made quite an impression on me when we tested a version of it on the R9 280X retail round up from October. It kept the GPU cool but it was also the loudest of the retail cards tested at the time. For the R9 290X model, Sapphire has made some tweaks to the fan speeds and the design of the cooler which makes it a better overall solution as you will soon see.
The key tenets for any AMD R9 290/290X custom cooled card is to beat AMD's reference cooler in performance, noise, and variable clock rates. Does Sapphire meet these goals?
The Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X 4GB
While the ASUS DirectCU II card was taller and more menacing than the reference design, the Sapphire Tri-X cooler is longer and appears to be more sleek than the competition thus far. The bright yellow and black color scheme is both attractive and unique though it does lack the LED light that the 280X showcased.
Sapphire has overclocked this model slightly, to 1040 MHz on the GPU clock, which puts it in good company.

AMD Mantle for Battlefield 4 Delayed into the New Year
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 30, 2013 - 02:32 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, Mantle, hawaii, BF4, battlefield 4
If you have been following the mess than has been Battlefield 4 since its release, what with the crashing on both PCs and consoles, you know that EA and DICE have decided that fixing the broken game is the number 1 priority. Gee, thanks.
While they work on that though, there is another casualty of development other than the pending DLC packs: AMD's Mantle version of the game. If you remember way back in September of 2013, along with the announcement of AMD's Hawaii GPUs, AMD and DICE promised a version of the BF4 game running on Mantle as a free update in December. If you are counting, that is just 1 more day away from being late.
Today we got this official statement from AMD:
After much consideration, the decision was made to delay the Mantle patch for Battlefield 4. AMD continues to support DICE on the public introduction of Mantle, and we are tremendously excited about the coming release for Battlefield 4! We are now targeting a January release and will have more information to share in the New Year.
Well, it's not a surprise but it sure is a bummer. One of the killer new features for AMD's GPUs was supposed to be the ability to use this new low-level API to enhance performance for PC games. As Josh stated in our initial article on the subject, "It bypasses DirectX (and possibly the hardware abstraction layer) and developers can program very close to the metal with very little overhead from software. This lowers memory and CPU usage, it decreases latency, and because there are fewer "moving parts" AMD claims that they can do 9x the draw calls with Mantle as compared to DirectX. This is a significant boost in overall efficiency."
It seems that buyers of the AMD R9 series of graphics need to wait at least another month to really see what the promise of Mantle is really all about. Will the wait be worth it?
Video Perspective: GPU Shortages and Litecoin Mining Discussion

If you already listened to this weeks PC Perspective Podcast, then feel free to disregard this post. For the rest of you - subscribe to our damned weekly podcast would you already?!?
In any event, I thought it might be interesting to extract this 6 minute discussion we had during last nights live streamed podcast about how the emergence of Litecoin mining operations is driving up prices of GPUs, particularly the compute-capable R9 290 and R9 290X Hawaii-based cards from AMD.
Check out these prices currently on Amazon!
- Radeon R9 290X - $725+
- Radeon R9 290 - $499+
- Radeon R9 280X - $429+
- GeForce GTX 770 - $409+
- GeForce GTX 780 - $509+
- GeForce GTX 780 Ti - $699+
The price of the GTX 770 is a bit higher than it should be while the GTX 780 and GTX 780 Ti are priced in the same range they have been for the last month or so. The same cannot be said for the AMD cards listed here - the R9 280X is selling for $130 more than its expected MSRP at a minimum but you'll see quite a few going for much higher on Amazon, Ebay (thanks TR) and others. The Radeon R9 290 has an MSRP of $399 from AMD but the lowest price we found on Amazon was $499 and anything on Newegg.com is showing at the same price, but sold out. The R9 290X is even more obnoxiously priced when you can find them.
Do you have any thoughts on this? Do you think Litecoin mining is really causing these price inflations and what does that mean for AMD, NVIDIA and the gamer?

Ryan is not the only one who felt it necessary to investigate the reports of differing performance between retail R9 290X cards and the ones sent out for review. Legit Reviews also ordered a retail card made by Sapphire and tested it against the card sent to them by AMD. As with our results, ambient temperature had more effect on the frequency of the retail card than it did on the press sample with a 14% difference being common. Legit had another idea after they noticed that while the BIOS version was the same on both cards the part numbers differed. Find out what happened when they flashed the retail card to exactly match the press sample.
"The AMD Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 have been getting a ton of attention lately due to a number of reports that the retail cards are performing differently than the press cards that the media sites received. We have been following these stories for the past few weeks and finally decided to look into the situation ourselves."

Another retail card reveals the results
Since the release of the new AMD Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 graphics cards, we have been very curious about the latest implementation of AMD's PowerTune technology and its scaling of clock frequency as a result of the thermal levels of each graphics card. In the first article covering this topic, I addressed the questions from AMD's point of view - is this really a "configurable" GPU as AMD claims or are there issues that need to be addressed by the company?
The biggest problems I found were in the highly variable clock speeds from game to game and from a "cold" GPU to a "hot" GPU. This affects the way many people in the industry test and benchmark graphics cards as running a game for just a couple of minutes could result in average and reported frame rates that are much higher than what you see 10-20 minutes into gameplay. This was rarely something that had to be dealt with before (especially on AMD graphics cards) so to many it caught them off-guard.
Because of the new PowerTune technology, as I have discussed several times before, clock speeds are starting off quite high on the R9 290X (at or near the 1000 MHz quoted speed) and then slowly drifting down over time.
Another wrinkle occurred when Tom's Hardware reported that retail graphics cards they had seen were showing markedly lower performance than the reference samples sent to reviewers. As a result, AMD quickly released a new driver that attempted to address the problem by normalizing to fan speeds (RPM) rather than fan voltage (percentage). The result was consistent fan speeds on different cards and thus much closer performance.
However, with all that being said, I was still testing retail AMD Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 cards that were PURCHASED rather than sampled, to keep tabs on the situation.
Continue reading our article on retail variance in R9 290X clock speeds and performance!!
An issue of variance
AMD just sent along an email to the press with a new driver to use for Radeon R9 290X and Radeon R9 290 testing going forward. Here is the note:
We've identified that there's variability in fan speeds across AMD R9 290 series boards. This variability in fan speed translates into variability of the cooling capacity of the fan-sink.
The flexibility of AMD PowerTune technology enables us to correct this variability in a driver update. This update will normalize the fan RPMs to the correct values.
The correct target RPM values are 2200RPM for the AMD Radeon R9 290X 'Quiet mode', and 2650RPM for the R9 290. You can verify these in GPU-Z.
If you're working on stories relating to R9 290 series products, please use this driver as it will reduce any variability in fan speeds. This driver will be posted publicly tonight.
Great! This is good news! Except it also creates some questions.
When we first tested the R9 290X and the R9 290, we discussed the latest iteration of AMD's PowerTune technology. That feature attempts to keep clocks as high as possible under the constraints of temperature and power. I took issue with the high variability of clock speeds on our R9 290X sample, citing this graph:
I then did some digging into the variance and the claims that AMD was building a "configurable" GPU. In that article we found that there were significant performance deltas between "hot" and "cold" GPUs; we noticed that doing simple, quick benchmarks would produce certain results that were definitely not real-world in nature. At the default 40% fan speed, Crysis 3 showed 10% variance with the 290X at 2560x1440:

AMD Releases Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.2 Driver To Correct Performance Variance Issue of R9 290 Series Graphics Cards
Subject: Graphics Cards, Cases and Cooling | November 8, 2013 - 02:41 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: R9 290X, powertune, hawaii, graphics drivers, gpu, GCN, catalyst 13.11 beta, amd, 290x
AMD recently launched its 290X graphics card, which is the new high-end single GPU solution using a GCN-based Hawaii architecture. The new GPU is rather large and incorporates an updated version of AMD's PowerTune technology to automatically adjust clockspeeds based on temperature and a maximum fan speed of 40%. Unfortunately, it seems that some 290X cards available at retail exhibited performance characteristics that varied from review units.
AMD has looked into the issue and released the following statement in response to the performance variances (which PC Perspective is looking into as well).
Hello, We've identified that there's variability in fan speeds across AMD R9 290 series boards. This variability in fan speed translates into variability of the cooling capacity of the fan-sink. The flexibility of AMD PowerTune technology enables us to correct this variability in a driver update. This update will normalize the fan RPMs to the correct values.
The correct target RPM values are 2200RPM for the AMD Radeon R9 290X "Quiet mode", and 2650RPM for the R9 290. You can verify these in GPU-Z. If you're working on stories relating to R9 290 series products, please use this driver as it will reduce any variability in fan speeds. This driver will be posted publicly tonight.
From the AMD statement, it seems to be an issue with fan speeds from card to card causing the performance variances. With a GPU that is rated to run at up to 95C, a fan limited to 40% maximum, and dynamic clockspeeds, it is only natural that cards could perform differently, especially if case airflow is not up to par. On the other hand, the specific issue pointed out by other technology review sites (per my understanding, it was initially Tom's Hardware that reported on the retail vs review sample variance) is an issue where the 40% maximum on certain cards is not actually the RPM target that AMD intended.
AMD intended for the Radeon R9 290X's fan to run at 2200RPM (40%) in Quiet Mode and the fan on the R9 290 (which has a maximum fan speed percentage of 47%) to spin at 2650 RPM in Quiet Mode. However, some cards 40% values are not actually hitting those intended RPMs, which is causing performance differences due to cooling and PowerTune adjusting the clockspeeds accordingly.
Luckily, the issue is being worked on by AMD, and it is reportedly rectified by a driver update. The driver update ensures that the fans are actually spinning at the intended speed when set to the 40% (R9 290X) or 47% (R9 290) values in Catalyst Control Center. The new driver, which includes the fix, is version Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.2 and is available for download now.
If you are running a R9 290 or R9 290X in your system, you should consider updating to the latest driver to ensure you are getting the cooling (and as a result gaming) performance you are supposed to be getting.
Catalyst 13.11 Beta 9.2 is available from the AMD website.

6 Ways to Prepare for the Coming Upswing
Form strategic partnerships
Make the most of the business slowdown by striking up partnerships that will pay off down the road. Rather than selling services or goods that require buyers to shell out cash outright, look for opportunities to provide incentives to close a sale. Buyers will be more receptive to you if you offer to cut your commission or other fees.

Samsung Replenish review: Sprint's first Android eco phone
Sprint's first eco-friendly Android phone offers Earth-consciousness at a very reasonable price.
Recommend it we do, especially to budget-conscious consumers who are looking for a capable but low-frills smartphone. At only $50, it sports Android 2.2 Froyo, a QWERTY keyboard, and an above-average 2-megapixel camera. On top of that, it has a roomy 32GB external memory and mobile hot-spot support (an additional $30 per month.)
Pros aside, the Replenish certainly has some drawbacks that may cause those in search of a savvier smartphone to keep looking. Read all the pluses and minuses in this

Governor Christie may have his own problems with certain clean-up companies and failure to deliver on his pension fix, but that certainly didn't stop him from going after the do-nothings in Washington. Speaking on the deep and painful spending cuts that are to follow due to the failure of Republicans to accept a deal on the sequestration, Christie expressed frustration with Washington's inability to hammer out a deal. Christie mentioned that New Jersey shouldn't worry about the cuts since they won;t have a huge impact on New jersey, which is partially true. Case in point, the sequestration includes cutting Sandy Aid by $2.5 billion.
Christie says if the federal government can't cut one cent out of one dollar without bringing the economy to its knees, then the government was already in bad shape.
But he expressed disappointment with Washington, saying New Jersey had done more fiscally challenging things in shorter time periods., according to the Associated Press.
Christie also took the opportunity to take a shot at Obama for hyping up the fallout of inaction on sequestration, saying that planes aren't "falling from the sky."

Word Of The Year: Selfie
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne announcing the word of the year: Selfie. The Smartphone self-portrait. The Oxford Dictionary says it perfectly captures 2013. Selfies lit up social media and dirty ones derailed political careers. Teens even took one with the Pope. The word's come a long way since popping up on an Australian message board a decade ago. It beat out binge watch, meaning marathon TV watching, and twerk. You can look that one up. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Pistons send 76ers to 11th straight loss
By AP
PHILADELPHIA – Rodney Stuckey scored 27 points and hit the winner with 8.7 seconds left to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 90-86 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday night, the 76ers' 11th straight loss.
Allen Iverson scored 11 points in his second game with the Sixers. He hit the tying jumper with 1:06 left that made it 86-all.
Stuckey had the ball stripped by Andre Iguodala, but he grabbed the loose ball and tossed it in for the go-ahead basket with 1 second left on the shot clock.
Iguodala went for the win, but his 3-point attempt was no good. He scored 18 points.
Iverson is 0-5 this season - three losses with Memphis; two with the 76ers. Iverson missed seven of 10 shots from the floor and had three assists.

Agreement Will Keep the Preakness in Maryland
Maryland political and Thoroughbred industry leaders announced an agreement April 30 that would keep the Preakness Stakes (gr. I) in the state regardless of what happens to the ownership of Pimlico.
"When Magna entered bankruptcy last year, working with the governor's office, the office of attorney general immediately drafted emergency legislation granting Maryland condemnation authority over Magna's Maryland assets, including the Preakness," said Attorney General Doug Gansler. "That law, in conjunction with the state's existing right of first refusal over any transfer of Pimlico, gave Maryland the hammer we needed to work out an agreement with new owner MID. I'm pleased that we were able to provide the legal support to the governor to ensure the Preakness forever remains a Maryland tradition."
Under the agreement, known as the Preakness Covenant, Maryland waives its statutory right of first refusal to buy the Preakness Stakes and parent company MI Developments (MID), agrees that it will not move the Preakness from Maryland. The agreement also specifically states:
• MID agrees that the Preakness Covenant will be binding on MID's successors and assigns;
"For 134 years (and counting) the Preakness Stakes has been run in the State of Maryland and has belonged to the people of our state," said Governor Martin O'Malley. "The Preakness Covenant will ensure that people of Maryland continue to enjoy this time-honored tradition, and that the state of Maryland and city of Baltimore will continue to realize the economic benefits of this annual event."

Police detain a protester during a demonstration against Algerian President Abdulaziz Bouteflika's decision to run for a fourth term, in Algiers March 6, 2014. (REUTERS/Ramzi Boudina)
ALGIERS/TUNIS: Algerians may not have been shocked to learn their ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika would run for re-election after 15 years in power, but the way he let them know was a surprise.
After months of speculation, the 77-year-old leader, who suffered a stroke last year, gave no live television or radio speech to declare his candidacy, leaving his prime minister and the state news agency to announce it last week.
Bouteflika registered Monday at the Constitutional Council 24 hours before the deadline, appearing briefly on state television to speak in public for the first time in months.
Credited with leading Algeria out of the 1990s civil war between security forces and Islamists, he looks almost sure to win, with support from his National Liberation Front Party, its allies and army factions.
Another Bouteflika term would remove immediate uncertainty about the future of Algeria, a major African oil supplier and an ally in Washington's war on Islamist militants who have extended their roots in North Africa thanks to chaos in next-door Libya.
But for all the official insistence Bouteflika is in good shape, his scarce appearances have prompted doubts about how he will campaign, what happens if he falls ill and who succeeds him if his health forces him to step down in his fourth term.
Even in announcing Bouteflika's candidacy, Prime Minister AbdelMalek Sellal did little to quash doubts over his health when he said the president did not need to campaign himself as there were plenty who could do that for him.
"You can count on one hand the number of times that Bouteflika has appeared in public in the last year," said Geoff Porter, a North Africa specialist at the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point.
"As far as exercises in democracy go, the April 17 elections are going to be a strange one."
Algerians, still scarred by the civil war, which cost 200,000 lives, staged no popular uprising against the status quo similar to those elsewhere in the Arab world in 2011.
Politics remains in a time warp shaped by the struggle against colonial power France which led to independence in 1962.
Since then, a cabal of FLN Party veterans, business elites and army generals, known as "Le Pouvoir," French for "The Power," has called the shots, operating behind closed doors.
In recent weeks, backroom sparring between Bouteflika's clan and DRS intelligence service chief Gen. Mohammad Mediene, long a political kingmaker, burst into the open, with politicians and generals aiming thinly disguised barbs at one another.
Much of this reflected efforts by Bouteflika's faction to neutralize Mediene's political influence before the president announced his candidacy for a fourth term, analysts say.
Bouteflika's men appear to have won the day. Several intelligence generals have been sacked or transferred, while the president's allies hold key posts in the army and the Cabinet.
One Bouteflika associate, Gen. Ahmad Gaed Salah, chief of staff and vice defense minister, now heads a commission that approves military promotions. Political sources say this post can be used to curtail the DRS's role in politics.
In 2012, Bouteflika suggested time was over for his generation of leaders, but he has only consolidated his grip. "It is the beginning of the end for Le Pouvoir in Algeria because Bouteflika is Le Pouvoir now," a Western diplomat said.
Algerian political cartoonists have mocked the candidacy of a veteran president who has almost vanished from the public eye.
One sketch in the El Watan daily shows the Oscars Award for best movie special effects with nominees listed as: "Gravity," "Iron Man 3," "Star Trek," and from Algeria, "The Fourth Term."
Bouteflika's allies say he is a stabilizing figure in a region where Libya demonstrates the risks of chaos three years after NATO-backed rebels ended Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year rule.
Once he is re-elected, the constitution might be amended to create posts for one or even two vice presidents to manage politics and security, a source close to the presidency said.
"He will likely leave power before the end of a five-year term, and a vice president will take over," the source said.
Sellal, 66, who as prime minister ran most day-to-day affairs when Bouteflika was ill, might be one contender for vice president.
Algeria's police chief, Maj. Gen. Abdel-Ghani Hamel has also emerged as a possibility.
Though weakened, the DRS intelligence agency remains an influential player in Algeria's opaque politics.
"A fourth term by Bouteflika will not end the conflict," said Eurasia Group North Africa specialist Riccardo Fabiani. "Regime stability will depend on Bouteflika's health, and regime factions maneuvering to decide who will succeed the president."
When other Arab countries rose in revolt, Bouteflika eased discontent by distributing loans, housing and higher salaries.
As long as global oil prices remain around $100 a barrel, the OPEC producer, with around $200 billion in foreign reserves, may be able to sustain such generous public spending.
In the longer term, Algeria desperately needs economic reforms to fight its budget deficit, loosen foreign investment restrictions and attract investment in its declining oil sector.
Opposition parties, which are much weaker than the entrenched FLN, have threatened to boycott the April 17 vote, saying the president has an unfair advantage.
There are five other contenders, but some opposition politicians, such as Said Saadi, are staying out of the race.
"I will not run because the election is closed. Bouteflika's men will supervise the vote," he said. "The game is closed."
Three parties, including Saadi's RCD and the Islamist MSP Party, have joined forces to urge a boycott of the vote.
Campaigning starts on March 23, but Algerian voters don't know whether Bouteflika will become more visible to the public.
"Even if, as his supporters say, he still has all his mental faculties, how will he campaign?" Porter said.
"Presidents are elected for five-year terms. If he doesn't campaign himself, how will the electorate know he has the stamina to complete his term?"

Bouteflika registered Monday at the Constitutional Council 24 hours before the deadline, appearing briefly on state television to speak in public for the first time in months.Much of this reflected efforts by Bouteflika's faction to neutralize Mediene's political influence before the president announced his candidacy for a fourth term, analysts say.Several intelligence generals have been sacked or transferred, while the president's allies hold key posts in the army and the Cabinet.In 2012, Bouteflika suggested time was over for his generation of leaders, but he has only consolidated his grip.Bouteflika's allies say he is a stabilizing figure in a region where Libya demonstrates the risks of chaos three years after NATO-backed rebels ended Moammar Gadhafi's 42-year rule.Sellal, 66, who as prime minister ran most day-to-day affairs when Bouteflika was ill, might be one contender for vice president.Campaigning starts on March 23, but Algerian voters don't know whether Bouteflika will become more visible to the public.
