I personally DO NOT trust blackrock at all, although it sounds like a cool idea.. There's probably something to it we havn't been told.
Blackhole...er, rock, is the govt's largest vehicle for "managing" it's "assets"
Here is some further grim economic news from Greece.
This morning the Greek statistics office released this.
Unemployment rate in January 2012 was 21.8% compared to 14.8% in January 2010 and 20.9% in December 2011.
And we see that the employment situation has worsened too.
The number of employed decreased by 363,369 persons compared with January 2011 (a 8.6% rate of decrease) and by 25,953 persons compared with December 2011 (a 0.7% rate of decrease).
There is a graph in the report showing the rise in the unemployment rate and the upward sloping line rather grimly looks like it is accelerating. If we look further back we see that 382.801 Greeks were forming the unemployment line in January 2008 and 1,084,668 were doing the same in January 2012.
The level of youth unemployment has become a metaphor for the troubles of these times and we see plenty of troubles here as a year ago it was 37.1% and in January 2012 it was 50.8% for the 15 to 24 age group. You could argue that this is an economic depression for the young on these grounds could you not? Unemployment rates for their elders are much lower….
"George Soros - Europe's Future is Not Up to The Bundesbank (FT)"
LOL ... Awwww ... Spookey Dude is feeling left out!
- Canada's Conservative government continues to maintain that it didn't know it was supposed to tell the public the full costs of the F-35 purchase: that the $10-billion it left out of the total was not a lie or even a mistake, but simply reflected its honest belief about how these things should be accounted, or at any rate always have been.
"Ahh..We were pretty sure this fell under the stuff we don't tell the people, eh? You know, like the hookers and blow, secret renditions for the Americans and where we buried the bodies of the native Canadians in the 70's...Oh, and the takeover of our monetary system...and then there.... Eh? Shouldn't of said all that?... Well how are they gonna know what I mean?,,, Oh, I see........"

Lewis-McChord Veterinary Detachment assumes duties in Southern Afghanistan
March 25, 2013
By Sgt. Antonio Namwong, Task Force Med-Afghanistan Public Affairs
Related Links
KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan (March 25, 2013) -- A ceremony held here, March 16, marked the transfer of authority from the 438th Medical Detachment (Veterinary Services) based out of Fort Carson, Colo., to the 218th Medical Detachment (Veterinary Service Support), from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.
The new mission of the 218th Med. Det. (VS) includes providing working dog health care and food protection to the Forward Operating Bases located throughout Regional Commands South, South-West, and West.
Earlier in January, the 248th Med. Det. (VSS), from Fort Bragg, N.C., replaced 72nd Med. Det. (VS) from Fort Campbell, Ky., to serve a similar mission for the North and East Regional Commands. The tasks are many, and the teams must spread across large distances to succeed.
While in theater, the 218th Med. Det. (VS) supported approximately 700 working dogs throughout Afghanistan, conducted 72 surgeries from combat related incidents, and conducted more than 2,100 exams.
Lt. Col. Howard Gobble, commander of the 438th Med. Det. (VS), and Sgt. 1st class Bradford Birdashaw, cased their unit's guidon, and it will remain cased as the unit travels back to its home station.
Lt. Col. Heather Serwon, commander of the 218th Med. Det. (VSS), and Master Sgt. Frederick Williams, uncased their unit's guidon, symbolizing the beginning of their critical veterinary medical mission in support of Operating Enduring Freedom.
"You all [438th] have played an instrumental role in making us successful during this transition," Serwon said. "We wish you all safe travels as you return home."
Col. William Drennon, commander of Task Force 14 Medical, welcomed the 218th Med. Det. to the team and Afghanistan.
"Lieutenant Colonel Serwon and Master Sergeant Williams, welcome to the 'First to Care' and 'Victory Medics' team," said Drennon. "You have an extremely important mission to accomplish over the next nine months. The 438th has set the conditions for your success and I am confident that you are up to the task and that your team will excel," he said.

Great Boots
"These boots are super cute. They do run a bit small, but it was perfect for what my son needed. I did notice that after the first time he wore them there were creases where his foot tends to bend most."

Grandson's Special Christmas Wish
"My five year old Grandson wanted camouflage boots for Christmas. He mentioned this to his surprised Mom the week before Christmas. I was still looking for gift ideas for him, and she told me about it. I could not find his size on any site or in the stores. Then I thought DSW always has shoes I like. I looked and found out they did have children's shoes, and they had his camo cowboy boots in his size. DSW got them to us before Christmas, and he loved them. Thank you DSW!"

Reviews by darko87
Really nice atmosphere, but mediocre gameplaydarko87 | June 6, 2013 | Review of Omerta City of Gangsters - PC
Love the whole 1920's gangster theme to the game along with its music and voice acting but the actual game was a bit of a letdown. I was hoping for a game focused on turn based strategy but I got a mediocre sim game with a few short tbs missions that seemed like they barely belonged in the game. The funny thing is if the sim elements of the game were as robust as say Tropico's I would probably have loved this game.
Fun turn based Strategydarko87 | June 6, 2013 | Review of XCOM Enemy Unknown NA POST - PC
There haven't been many TBS games the past decade that weren't exclusive to portable consoles, so it's nice to play one on the pc. It's also very nice to have a TBS game that isn't the generic fantasy theme. Base building and other rpg elements mean that you can't just think about your current mission but also have to consider future stages of the game as well. This brings another level of complexity to the game that I very much enjoyed.
Surprisingly fundarko87 | June 6, 2013 | Review of Defiance Post - PC
Bought it on a whim when it was on sale, wasn't really expecting much but it was a pleasant surprise. Let's be honest, it doesn't feature the greatest story, but you can login for an hour here and there to do arkfalls or a quick instance and actually have fun. I think the main reason to get it is that it doesn't play like a typical mmorpg in which you just click a skill and have it automatically lock on enemies. Here you actually aim and shoot weapons, dodge enemies, and use cover much like in an fps (like borderlands as I'm sure has been already mentioned). It might not sound like much but it is a big deal for people who are burnt out on playing the standard format MMOs.

Article Date: 3/1/2012
THE FACT THAT MY eyes were dry, burning and bloodshot seemed only natural. Work was really busy (my laptop was practically merging with my actual lap), plus I was hooked on a certain series of vampire books that I won't name because it's aimed at readers well below my age (32).
I was doing a number on my eyes and paying the price every day.
Although I took full responsibility for the problem, I still whined to anyone in earshot that my eyes were burning. Then, people would ask if I had allergies or needed new glasses. But my glasses were less than a year old! The problem was the worst at night, when I really couldn't put my book down. My eyes felt like they had sand in them — even blinking was uncomfortable!
I tried a variety of eye drops. Some said they'd clear up the redness, and a bunch of others claimed to moisturize. In the office, I went to the ladies' room four times a day to use eye drops. I used them at home after work, before bed, and when I woke up in the morning. They didn't help much at all. The only time my eyes felt a little better was after a hot shower.
This will get better, I told myself, once I get past this work deadline and finish the last book in the series.
But those milestones came and went, and my eyes only felt about 25% better. Then I ran into my fairy godmother on an eye drop run to the ladies' room. Well, not exactly a fairy godmother, but a temp named Lisa who was spending a week working the front desk. I stood at the sink, puttting in eye drops, and gave her my typical line, "My eyes are so dry!" She said, "That's awful, isn't it? I used to have that problem, too, but I got the plugs."
I grilled Lisa in the bathroom and she told me she has what's called "dry eye," so her doctor recommended a cleaning regimen, some dietary supplements, medication and even little plugs that keep her tears from disappearing down her tear ducts. This was the first I'd heard of any of these things!
What kind of doctor was Lisa seeing? For that matter, what kind of doctor had I been seeing? I'd checked "yes" to "dry" and "burning," so where was my list of remedies?
Back at my desk, I placed a call to my optometrist. His receptionist put me on hold, and then got back on the line and said, "The doctor says he can write you a prescription for Restasis if you like." I told her, "No, thank you." I decided I didn't want a doctor who treats dry eye over the phone and only when I ask him about it specifically. I called the front desk and asked Lisa for her doctor's name.
At my new optometrist's office, they had me complete a thorough questionnaire and undergo an equally thorough exam. My new doctor explained that reading doesn't cause the problem; it just makes it worse. He had me try several treatments until my eyes felt better. I couldn't believe my former optometrist had never even tried to address my condition. Now that I'm being treated for dry eye, my eyes can handle all of the reading I can throw at them. I feel comfortable about 90% of the time, and I'm sure the people around me are pleased that they don't have to listen to my ongoing complaints! nOD

The Starfleet Medal of Honor was an award, one of Starfleet's highest commendations. It recognized valor and bravery in action "above and beyond the call of duty."
Captain James T. Kirk was a recipient of this medal prior to 2267. (TOS: "Court Martial", "This Side of Paradise") Kirk's emotional reaction to seeing the medal, after removing it from the safe in his quarters, seems to have helped him shake off the effect of the Omicron spores.
Lieutenant Commander Data was also a recipient of this medal prior to 2365. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man")
In 2367, Barash created a holoprogram of a fictional future based on William T. Riker's thoughts and expectations. In Riker's fictional service record in the holoprogram, he was awarded the Starfleet Medal of Honor by Starfleet Command on stardate 51692 for his role in detecting and preventing a preemptive strike into the Gamma Hydra sector by the Romulans.

Foreign Object In Pharynx, Removed
You had a blockage at the back of your throat (pharynx) which was interfering with your breathing or swallowing. This can happen when trying to swallow a large or sharp piece of food, taking a large pill or swallowing foreign objects. Your blockage has been cleared.
For the next 12-24 hours, it may continue to feel like something is stuck there or it may cause a sharp pain when swallowing. This is normal and is due to pain from the injured tissue. After 24 hours your symptoms should improve and disappear by the second day.
Home Care:
If you were given sedative medicine to relax you during the removal procedure, you may be drowsy for the next 4-12 hours. DO NOT DRIVE or operate dangerous equipment until you feel alert again.
For the next 24 hours you may drink liquids and eat soft foods. Once all pain disappears, you may resume your usual diet.
To reduce throat pain, gargle with warm salt water. (Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of table salt in a glass of hot water.) Lozenges and sprays may also be used (Chloraseptic spray or lozenges).
If your blockage was from food, be sure to cut solid food into small pieces before putting into your mouth and chew all foods well before swallowing.
If your blockage was from swallowing an over-the-counter pill (such as a vitamin), avoid pills of this size in the future. If the pill is a prescription medicine, ask your doctor if a smaller size is available.
Follow Up:
Follow up with your doctor as advised.
[Note : Any X-rays taken will be reviewed by a radiologist. You will be notified of any new findings that may affect your care.]
Get Prompt Medical Attention
if any of the following occur:
Fever of 100.4°F (38ºC) or higher, or as directed by your healthcare provider
Throat pain that worsens or lasts over 48 hours
Unable to swallow liquids or open your mouth wide due to pain
Drooling or unable to swallow your saliva
Trouble breathing, noisy breathing or a muffled voice
Increased pain with neck movement

For the fourth time a hearing over whether a former state lawmaker will get a new federal trial has been delayed.
Stephen LaRoque was scheduled to appear before Senior Judge Malcomb Howard on Thursday in Greenville. But the U.S. Attorney's Office says that hearing has been reset to February 13th.
This past summer the Kinston Republican was convicted of 12 counts, including theft, fraud and money laundering. Howard granted a new trial on two of the 12 counts against the former representative after finding out Juror #3 had done outside research online. However, LaRoque's attorney argues he should get a new trial on all 12 counts.
The original hearing was supposed to happen back in September.

I would like to give a real example of how I work today, compared to before.
The other day I purchased & implemented a WSO, nothing strange with that, I do it all the time.
- Procrastinating & being a just a little to lazy.
- Making unbalanced and bad decisions, not valuing my precious time.
- Believing I've found the holy grail and never have to adapt or use any other strategy again … Ever!
- Sitting around waiting for results, watching statistics etc …
.. can't really say my focus was on getting things done.
Step by Step Actions that I Took
- Made a quick overview read the of the WSO PDF to decide if this was for me or not(… this time it was).
- Added New Project in my Time Recording Sheet
- Added New Project in Bookkeeping Sheet
- Implemented the necessary steps enabling an evaluation of the method.
- Added the exact number of dollars spent on this project to the Bookkeeping Sheet.
- Added the exact number of time spent on this project to the Time Recording Sheet.
- Added a Google Calendar note reminding me to check back on the results.
- Moved on to the next task in my TODO list …
That's it ….
Crucial Decisions Involved that Saves Hours & Sometimes Days
- Know what steps are involved.
- Estimate time.
- If decision is not to implement, move on quickly.
- Add project to Time Recording Sheet(or whatever is used for time recording).
- Add Project to Bookkeeping Sheet(or whatever is used for bookkeeping).
- Get your hands dirty, Just Do It!
- If you outsource the implementation: Write a really good work description and hire some competent people.
- Be very aware of the time & money you're spending, keep track!
- This could of course be phase 1 that's ending, e.g enough for evaluation.
- I almost always end with setting up a Google Calendar Notice, it's my way of mentally letting the project go until Google Calendar notifies me to check into it again.
Important: Follow these 4 Invaluable Tips Below!
4 Focus Tips that Will Instantly Improve your Online Business
- Have good routines for the boring tasks, like time recording and bookkeeping. This way these boring, but important tasks doesn't distract you when working on the money making activities.
- Remove unnecessary & unprofitable components that disturb, cost money and possibly ruin your business (Don't be to sentimental)
- Have a clearly defined goal, know what the goal is & remember this goal in every move you make.
- Have a well defined business model. Don't step outside of it to much or to often
I almost forgot … the WSO I implemented does actually produce results!

Fits:'98 onwards Jeep (Grand) CherokeeWe can repair all part numbers from all vehicle manufacturers of Ate type ABS systems.Sample part numbers:56041022AGA, P0477959AC 10.0511-8186.1, 25.0212-0016.4, 25.0926-4392.3, 25.0610-1464.4, 25.0946-0138.3, 25.0204-8186.1These suffer from control unit breakdown resulting in pump out of tolerence or wheel-speed sensor fault codes.99% of the time it is the control module (electronic black box on back of ABS pump) that has failed. You can seperate the module from the pump leaving the pump on the car. This means you are not breaking into the brake hydraulic system.Control Module:
Q. Do I need to send the whole pump in?A. If the pump is ok, no. The module is the common failure. This can be seperated and sent in on its own.
Q. Can I drive the car while the module is being rebuilt?A. Yes. As the pump stays on the car, you are not breaking into the hydraulic fluid system. Your normal brakes will still work. However, you will not have ABS!! Take extra care when driving.
Q. Will I need special tools to reinstall / code my rebuilt module?A. No. The fault codes will be cleared upon re-installation. Also, as its your module, there will be no need to recode it.

|"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"
The subject of this article is a real-life person, group, company, product, or creative work that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really exists), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.
The Millennium Bridge was a pedestrian suspension bridge that crossed the River Thames in London. It was built some time before the Summer of 1995[1] and destroyed by Fenrir Greyback and a small group of Death Eaters in early July of 1996.[2]
In the summer of 1996, Lord Voldemort ordered Cornelius Fudge to step aside from his position as Minister for Magic, with the threat of a mass Muggle killing if he did not do so.[3] Fudge refused to step down, and thus Voldemort ordered Death Eaters to cause the Brockdale Bridge[3] and the Millennium Bridge to collapse.[4] In early July, 1996, the bridge was attacked by Fenrir Greyback and a group of Death Eaters.[5] The cables snapping, the bridge undulated and twisted intensely, pulling free of its piers, ultimately splitting in half and crashing violently into the Thames below, killing about fifty Muggles who were crossing the bridge at the time.[6]
The collapse of the Millennium Bridge had serious consequences in both the Muggle and Wizarding worlds. Shortly after it, a police investigation took place and river traffic was halted while the police searched for survivors of the disaster. The Mayor of London spoke to the population, urging them to be calm.[4] The collapse of the Millennium Bridge was most likely also a contributing factor for the replacement of Cornelius Fudge by Rufus Scrimgeour in the post of Minister for Magic.[3] The attack was reported in tabloids such as The Sun and The Daily Mail.
Behind the scenes
- The Millennium Bridge, located in London, was used in place of the Brockdale Bridge in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Despite its representation, the collapse shown is not to be confused with the Brockdale Bridge's collapse that occurs in the book.
- The newspaper says that the collapse of the bridge raised the death toll although it appears that everyone got off the bridge before the collapse.
- The real-life Millennium Bridge had not begun construction in 1996 but in fact started in late 1998, with the main work starting on 28 April 1999.
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (film) (First appearance)

NVIDIA GTX 275 Review
Reviewed by: ccokeman

Price: $249
It's spring time and most people are looking to get out of their houses after being cooped up inside for the winter, while others are thinking about April Fools' and what kind of weird and BS stories will be told. Well, that is not the case today with a new war being fought between nVidia and ATI with the release of their new cards. While people are looking to go outside, nVidia and ATI are looking to keep you inside for another season of game play. With the economy going the way it has, a lot more people are watching their wallets than before, so pricing vs performance is a very hot topic. Pretty much everyone knows about the battle between the nVidia GTX 260 and the ATI 4870 was a back and forth battle for top performance and pricing. Today that battle looks to heat up again with two new releases.
nVidia has been very very aggressive with its drivers by trying to offer great performance before a game is launched or on game day launch whereas ATI has not been as successful. With the launch of the GTX 275, where does it fall performance wise in nVidia's lineup and how does it stack up against ATI's latest release? Well read on to find out.
Closer Look:
The GTX 275 is a card the combines the attributes of the GTX 285 (GPU core with 240 shader processors) with the memory sub system of the GTX260 (896MB on a 448-bit bus) so essentially you have half of a GTX 295! The clock speeds on the GTX 275 come in at 633MHz on the GT200 core, 1404MHz on the shader processing cores and 1134MHz on the 896MB of memory. The card uses the reference design cooler to keep the GTX 275 alive and well.
Connectivity on the GTX 275 is via two Dual Link DVI ports. There is no other method for connecting to this card unless you use an adapter to go from the DVI to either an HDMI or D-Sub VGA port. The rear of the card is open allowing airflow in over the heatsinks on the lower circuits and discharges air through the heatsink via the port on the mounting bracket.
The GTX 275 needs two PCI-E 6-pin power connectors to supply power to the card, so a power supply with the appropriate power connectors is the best solution as using adapters is the the second and less desirable option to feed this card. Next to the power connections is the S/PDIF high definition sound input port that carries the sound from either your sound card or on-board sound solution. The GTX 275 can be used in a Tri SLI setup if multiple graphics cards are used in your system. This is the obvious upgrade path with the performance delivered by the GTX 275.
As this is a reference card there were no accessories included, so let's see what the GTX 275 has to offer.
Closer Look:
Just because you put that shiny new GTX 275 into your computer does not mean that it will work as intended. For that to happen you need to install the drivers to make it work correctly. To do this insert the supplied driver disc, or better yet, go on over to nVidia's website to download the latest drivers for your specific operating system and hardware. Start the install by chosing the autorun feature if using the disc or double clicking the file you downloaded from nVidia and it will run. Make the choices that are applicable and then click finish and you will need to restart the computer to finish the installation process.
Once the drivers are installed you have access to the nVidia control panel. Here is where you can adjust the performance and visual quality settings to the level you like. The first tab is labeled "3D Settings." The first section "Adjust image settings with Preview" offers pretty granular adjustments for performance vs quality. The second section allows for fine adjustments by and adjusting by application. A new feature in this section is Ambient Occlusion. This feature is added with the 185 series drivers. What this feature does is simulate shadows where ambient lighting should be blocked by an object. Something as simple as a pay phone on a wall will have its shadow cast on the wall when rendered with this option enabled. You can see examples of this in use on the Extras page. The last part of this section is the option to enable or disable PhysX.
The second section is strictly about managing the display. Setting the resolution, flat panel scaling, custom resolutions and managing the color profiles are all done here.
Last in line on this installation is the video and television settings. If you had the Geforce 3D Vision installed on your system this option would be available to you.
There are a few technologies that can be used with nVidia graphics cards to take advantage of the massive performance potential designed into the company's cards. First off there is CUDA, a programming language that takes advantage of the parallel computing power of the nVidia GPU. There are already many applications that take advantage of this technology. Badaboom from Elemental Technologies uses the technology to reduce the time it takes to convert media files between different formats. There is Arcsoft's Total Media Theatre that uses CUDA technology to upscale video to HD levels by leveraging the performance of the GPU to increase the frame rate to a steady 30 plus FPS. When run in the compare mode, CPU usage peaks in the high 80+ percent range and offers reduced performance. When using CUDA technology to get the GPU to do the work, the CPU load drops to the 2 to 3% range, resulting in far superior performance.
One of the other application that uses the technology is one that is near and dear to our hearts, [email protected] What this program does is use the parallel computing power of the nVidia GPU to simulate protein "folding." What is this, you ask? Well, when proteins don't fold correctly the result is some really heinous diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, BSE (Mad Cow), and Cystic Fibrosis. By simulating how chains of amino acids fold or misfold, researchers hope to find cures for these diseases and more. You can find more information here. If you decide to join the ranks of the people looking for a cure, make sure you select team 12772.
One enhancement that nVidia has had success with is PhysX technology. This technology is used to enable a more realistic gaming experience. Glass that shatters and stays in the environment instead of just fading away into the floor, curtains and cloth that move realistically and react to impacts and the wind, realistic smoke and bullet fragments and ricochets that do more than just flash on a wall. All of these things are visual enhancements that PhysX acceleration brings to the table. As of the end of 2008, there were three major game manufacturers commited to developing games using PhysX technology. These manufacturers are Take Two Interactive, Electronic Arts and THQ. One PhysX heavy title already out is Mirror's Edge

When it came time to overclock the GTX 275, I used RIvaTuner 2.24 as my tool of choice to increase the fan speed and clock speeds on the GTX 275. I started out with what I thought was a pretty aggressive jump in clock speeds to 700MHz on the core and 1200MHz on the memory and the GTX 275 did not flich and passed through several stress tests, including Furmark and looping 3DMark06. After this point I went a little conservative and went up in 10MHz increments on the GPU core until it failed stability testing at 740MHz. I dropped the core speed down 5MHz at a time to find out the point I was stable at and finished up at 729MHz. I used the same method increase for the memory but was not able to get much more than the 1217MHz I finally called it stable at. During the overclocking phase I kept the fan speed at 100% to keep the card as cool as possible with the increase in clock speeds. The final core clock speed of 729MHz is a 96MHz overclock with the memory increase at 83MHz over stock. Not monster increases, but good enough to offer increases in the frames per second delivered in each game tested.

Far Cry 2:
Featuring a new game engine named Dunia, this game looks to be another one to stress your video card. Built especially for Far Cry 2, this engine allows for real time effects and damage. This next generation first person shooter comes to us from Ubisoft surprisingly - not from Crytek. The game is set in a war-torn region of Africa where there is a non-existent central government and the chaos that surrounds this type of social environment. If you have seen the movie Blood Diamond, you know the setting. Ubisoft puts the main storyline of the game into focus with these statements: "Caught between two rival factions in war-torn Africa, you are sent to take out "The Jackal," a mysterious character who has rekindled the conflict between the warlords, jeopardizing thousands of lives. In order to fulfill your mission you will have to play the factions against each other, identify and exploit their weaknesses, and neutralize their superior numbers and firepower with surprise, subversion, cunning and, of course, brute force." In this version of the game, you don't have the beautiful water, but instead the beauty and harshness of the African continent to contend with. Most games give you a set area that can be played through, while Ubisoft has given the gamer the equivalent of 50km2 of the vast African continent to explore while in pursuit of your goals. The settings used are just a few steps below the maximum in-game settings and offer a good blend of performance vs. visual quality.
- Direct X 10
- 2xAA
- Game settings to very high
- Vsync Off
The maximum performance differential between the HD 4890 and GTX 275 is four frames per second at 2560x1600. That 4 FPS is roughly a 10% improvement over the latest from ATI.
Crysis Warhead is a standalone expansion pack situated in time with the story line of the original Crysis. As Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes, you have a secret mission to accomplish on the far side of the Island. Along the way there are EMP blasts and Aliens to contend with, as you hunt down the KPA chief. This game uses an enhanced version of the Cryengine 2.
- 2x Anti Aliasing
- Enthusiast
- Ambush
It looks like the HD 4890 pulled ahead in all four resolutions and actually performed better than all of the cards at every resolution. The GTX 275 comes in behind the 280 by 1 FPS at the 2560x1600 resolution.
BioShock is one of the creepier games you can play. The building of a perfect Utopian society undersea gone horribly wrong. Its inhabitants driven mad with the introduction of tonics and genetic modifications. Now Rapture is just a shadow of its former glory with little girls looting the dead of what little they have left while being shadowed by guardians known as "Big Daddys". It is a demanding game that will make your hardware scream for mercy. This First Person Shooter allows for an infinite number of weapons and modifications to provide a unique experience each time it is played. The environment, as well as the story line, will wrap you up for hours on end.
Video Settings:
- All settings to maximum
- V-Sync: Off
Usually ATI cards are strong in this benchmark, but the GTX275 is ahead of the HD 4890 in all four resolutions. When overclocked, the performance differential increases even further.
Activision's Call Of Duty World at War goes right back to the bread and butter of the franchise - WWII FPS action. In this rendition, you start off in the South Pacific and move through a series of missions that flip back and forth between the Russian front and the island hopping advance toward the Imperial Japanese homeland. Included is a mission on Peliliu Island, arguably one of the more difficult and costly battles in the Pacific theater. The gameplay in the single player mode is rather short, but the game makes up for this shortcoming in online gameplay. If you thought COD4 looked nice, this game is amazing with the graphics maxed out playing at a large resolution. This game just may be the reason to move to a 30 inch monitor. I will use Fraps to measure a section of gameplay in the Semper Fi map on Makin Island, to compare performance of these video cards.
- All in-game settings to maximum
- FPS measured via Fraps
The GTX 275 has a field day with the rest of the cards in this comparison. At no point is it in danger of being outperformed. When overclocked, it gains anywhere from two to seven frames per second.
In Dead Space, as part of the crew of the USG Kellion, you are headed on a repair mission to repair a ship in distress. Things go from bad to worse starting with the crash landing and the seemingly silent and "Dead" ship, the USG Ishimuru. Offering a non-traditional over the shoulder viewing angle, the game gets right into the action as soon as the ventilation systems are activated. From there things get worse with the appearance of the Necromorphs. Survival now becomes a primary concern for the main character Isaac Clarke. Survive and you may find the loved one that was aboard the Ishimuru.
- All in-game settings to maximum
In Dead Space the GTX 275 just out-muscles the HD 4890 and the HD 4870 cards, stock and overclocked. The frame rates delivered by the GTX 275 are close to or better than the GTX 280 in this test.
Left 4 Dead is a new release from Valve that leaves you as part of a group of survivors in a world where an infection has rapidly turned the populace into a zombie horde. You goal is to make it to a rescue point, all the while fighting what seems like overwhelming odds. Along the way there are safe houses where you can replenish your weapons and health. The movie 'I Am Legend' comes to mind to set the stage for this game. But unlike the movie, there are four characters and not just a lone gun and his faithful companion. The horde is not at all like the typical slow walking, foot shuffling zombie. These zombies are quick and work with the pack mentality. Your job: survival! Below are several screenshots to show some in-game action.
- 4xAA
- 16x AF
- All other in game settings to maximum
In Left 4 Dead the GTX 275 only leads the HD 4890 by 3 FPS at 1280x1024 and leads by 6 FPS at 1920x1200. When the GTX 275 is overclocked, the performance increase at 2560x1600 is 8 FPS. That could make the difference between playable or not at a lower frame rate but at the highest resolution the frame rate never falls to a point where it is unplayable.
Fallout 3 takes place after the nuclear holocaust that nearly wipes out civilization and leaves the world an irradiated mess. The vault, or fallout shelter, you are born in is Vault 101, situated in the Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia area. The premise of the game is that the Vault has been sealed for 200 years and now your father has opened the vault and escaped without a trace. The Overseer believes you are involved, so you must escape as well into the wasteland that was once our nation's capital. I find myself looking for landmarks, since I am familiar with the streets of Washington DC.
- 4x Anti Aliasing
- 15x Anisotropic Filtering
- All other in-game settings to maximum
The GTX 275 is faster than the HD 4890 and all of the HD 4870 cards. The only time the GTX 275 is faster than the GTX 280 is at the 2560x1600 resolution. Kind of a surprising result.
3DMark06 is one of the benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest has begun. 3DMark06 presents a severe test for many of today's hardware components. Let's see how this setup fares. The settings we will use are listed below.
- SM2.0 Graphics Tests: GT1- Return to Proxycon, GT2- Firefly Forest
- CPU Tests: Cpu1- Red Valley, CPU2- Red Valley
- HDR/SM3.0 Graphics Tests: HDR1- Canyon Flight, HDR2- Deep Freeze
Performance wise the GTX 275 performs better than every card in this benchmark, hands down.
Featuring all-new game tests, this benchmark is for use with Vista-based systems. "There are two all-new CPU tests that have been designed around a new 'Physics and Artificial Intelligence-related computation.' CPU test two offers support for physics related hardware." There are four preset levels that correspond to specific resolutions. 'Entry' is 1024x768 progressing to 'Extreme' at 1920x1200. Of course, each preset can be modified to arrange any number of user designed testing. For our testing, I will use the four presets at all default settings.
- All default settings in each preset level
- Entry 1024x768
- Performance 1280x1024
- High 1680x1050
- Extreme 1920x1200
The GTX 275 from nVidia just flat out outperforms the field in 3DMark Vantage. The HD 4890 is just covered from the lowest to the highest resolution and is not the answer to the GTX 275.
I wanted to show the Ambient Occlusion effects in a full size images to show the full impact of the benefits of its use. The images cycle between Ambient occlusion ON and OFF
First up is Half Life 2
Next up is Mirrors Edge

In addition to all of the programs that use nVidia's technologies, you can check out the latest Power Pack for even more Extras for your nVidia GPU at www.nvidia.com/powerpacks.
It looks like nVidia brought a gun to a knife fight when you compare the performance of the latest cards from both ATI and nVidia. The GTX 275 just outperformed the HD 4890 at every turn, with the exception being Crysis Warhead where the GTX 275 was beaten in all four resolutions. In the GTX 275 you have what equates to half of a GTX 295. You get the 240 shader processor cores of the GTX280/285 with the memory subsystem from the GTX 260. Surprisingly, this combination offers exceptional performance across just about every game tested with this card. In fact, out of 36 tests run, the GTX 275 outright won the resolution in 30 out of 36 tests and was equal to or better than the HD 4890 in 32 out of 36 tests. Pretty much a big win for the GTX 275. The cooling on the GTX 275 is the reference cooler from nVidia. It does an admirable job of keeping the big GT200 core relatively cool when the drivers are controlling the cooling with load temperatures of 88 degrees Celsius under load. Turn the fan speeds up and you are welcomed with some noise to let you know the fan is there but it isn't nearly as loud as the ATI cooling solution. When the fan is spooled up the load temperatures take a drop down to 64 degrees Celsius. Easily a zone I am comfortable with. If you adjust the fan speed to 60% the fan noise almost disappears while still keeping the GPU in the mid 60's Celsius.
There is more to the GTX 275 than just the gaming uses for the card, There are the CUDA based applications that increase productivity by decreasing the time it takes to complete tasks we do frequently such as video editing and encoding, cleaning up photos and video with programs such as Motion DSP's vReveal software that really is amazing to watch at work. Additionally, you have applications like Badaboom that allow you to convert video to formats usable on portable media devices like iPhones, iPods and even the Blackberry (look for reviews on both of these applications shortly). You can use the GPU acceleration features in Photoshop CS4 to help speed up your photo editing. You can use the GTX 275 to help search for a cure for cancer and other devastating diseases with [email protected] or go on a search for aliens with [email protected] Getting back to the gaming uses for the GTX 275, it can be used with nVidia's Geforce 3D Vision 3D goggles to give you a complete 3D experience. Then you add PhysX effects and now the ambient occlusion effect on top of the 3D gaming and you get closer to a more realistic experience with the whole family of technologies. So where does pricing put the GTX 275? As you might imagine, it falls right between the GTX260-216 core in the 170 to 300 dollar range and the GTX 285 in the 340 to 360 dollar range and is going to be offered at $249 at launch. This compares favorably with the pricing on the HD 4890, which will also launch with the $249 price tag. When you look at price vs. performance, the GTX 275 is the winner hands down when it comes to decision time. Performance that comes close to the GTX 280 for the price of an overclocked 260 puts this card as the one to get if a single GPU card is in your future. If looking to upgrade from a GTX 260, you could save some money and go with the GTX 275 instead of the higher end 285. The price is right, the performance is right, how could you go wrong with the GTX 275? Easy, you can't!

It's 94 miles to this bit of nature Starved Rock, Ill. By Susy Schultz
When you are in an urban area, it's hard to believe nature is not far. But it's true. In Illinois, we have Starved Rock State Park alongside the Illinois River.
There, you can feel part of the outdoors, even count bald eagles in the winter. You can hike through the forest to view incredible rock formations and waterfalls, as well as ride horses, fish, canoe and camp.
You can also find luxury at the Starved Rock Lodge and Conference Center, a 1930s stone and log building located within the state park.
But more importantly, you can find a little peace and quiet-94 miles southwest of the Chicago city limits.
Over the years, when either my two boys-now 14 and 11-or I needed fresh air and the outdoors, we headed to Starved Rock-no matter the season.
Sometimes, it's been a day of hiking; other times, it's been a long weekend, to really get the city out of our system. Once, when I went for a week-long conference, I discovered this was a nice relaxing getaway for adults, as well.
It was even a lovely venue for my cousin who had her wedding there.
The centerpiece to the entire area is nature. The state park is 2,630 acres of forests with 18 canyons and waterfalls
Hiking through there, the boys and I were in dreamland. I was at peace. My 11-year-old was engrossed in snakes and bugs. My 14-year-old was retracing a murder mystery-the 1960 Starved Rock Murders.
Three wealthy Chicago suburban women were left dead in a cave. A man who worked in the lodge's kitchen was then tried. The whole thing was a national media frenzy.
I wouldn't have thought this was something to promote, but we bought a book on it in the lodge gift store and we were all intrigued.
Still, this area is haunted by many ghosts. The name Starved Rock recalls a battle in the 1760s between Native American tribes. Legend has it that one tribe cornered another atop the 125-foot sandstone butte and held them there until they died of starvation. Beauty has a price.
Today, you can recall the horror amidst the beauty.
The lodge is beautiful, with a choice of cabins or rooms and a great main room with a fireplace-a place to sit with the kids at night and tell stories. However, it is the most expensive place in the area. Check the Heritage Corridor Convention and Tourism Bureau's Web site for alternatives.

Welcome to Christian Originals Radio.
We promote up-coming and independent Christian Music Artists. We offer music review and critique, as well as an opportunity for air-play to a global audience.
If you're looking for great music or you're tired of the highly repeated artists on pop stations, tune in and see the difference. You'll hear many tunes on this station, today, that will be on the other stations, tomorrow.
If you're a music artist, visit our Music Submissions page. We want to hear your music!
* Please Note: To keep this station on the air, we need your donations.
