At just over $200, can the XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB unseat a GTX 960?
Subject: Graphics Cards | January 7, 2016 - 02:36 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB, xfx, amd, 380x
Take a quick break from reading about the soon to be released technology at CES for a look at a GPU you can buy right now. The XFX DD XXX series has been around for a few generations and the XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB sports the same custom DD cooler you would expect. The factory overclock is quite modest, 20MHz on the GPU taking it to 990MHz and retaining the default 5.7GHz memory clock. Of course [H]ard|OCP were not going to leave that as is, they hit a 1040MHz core and 6.1GHz memory clock thanks to the custom cooling on the card, although with no way to adjust voltage they felt this card could be capable of more if that feature was added to the card. Read on to see how this card compares against the ASUS STRIX GTX 960 DCU II OC in this ~$220 GPU showdown.
"On our test bench today is the XFX R9 380X Double Dissipation XXX OC 4GB video card. It features the latest Ghost Thermal 3.0 cooling technology from XFX and a factory overclock. We will compare it to the ASUS STRIX GTX 960 DCU II OC 4GB in a battle of the $229 price point video cards to determine the better overall value."

CES 2016: Rise of the Tomb Raider NVIDIA Bundle
Subject: Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | January 7, 2016 - 02:03 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: square enix, nvidia, CES 2016, CES
NVIDIA has just announced a new game bundle. If you purchase an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, GTX 980 desktop or mobile, GTX 980 Ti, GTX 980M, or GTX 970M, then you will receive a free copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider. As always, make sure the retailer is selling the participating card. If the product has a download code, it will be specially marked. NVIDIA will not upgrade non-participating stock to the bundle.
Rise of the Tomb Raider will go live on January 29th. It was originally released in November as an Xbox One timed exclusive. It will also arrive on the PlayStation 4, but not until "holiday," which is probably around Q4 (or maybe late Q3).
If you purchase the bundle, then you graphics card will obviously be powerful enough to run the game. At a minimum, you will require a GeForce GTX 650 (2GB) or an AMD HD 7770 (2GB). The CPU needs are light too, requiring just a Sandy Bridge Core i3 (Intel Core i3-2100) or AMD's equivalent. Probably the only concern would be the minimum of 6GB system RAM, which also requires a 64-bit operating system. Now that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 have been deprecated, 32-bit gaming will be increasingly rare for "AAA" titles. That said, we've been ramping up to 64-bit for the last decade. one of the first games that supported x86-64 was Unreal Tournament 2004.
The Rise of the Tomb Raider NVIDIA bundle starts today.

CES 2016: NVIDIA talks SHIELD Updates and VR-Ready Systems

Tagged: vr ready, VR, virtual reality, video, Oculus, nvidia, htc, geforce, CES 2016, CES
Other than the in-depth discussion from NVIDIA on the Drive PX 2 and its push into autonomous driving, NVIDIA didn't have much other news to report. We stopped by the suite and got a few updates on SHIELD and the company's VR Ready program to certify systems that meet minimum recommended specifications for a solid VR experience.
For the SHIELD, NVIDIA is bringing Android 6.0 Marshmallow to the device, with new features like shared storage and the ability to customize the home screen of the Android TV interface. Nothing earth shattering and all of it is part of the 6.0 rollout.
The VR Ready program from NVIDIA will validate notebooks, systems and graphics cards that have the amount of horsepower to meet the minimum performance levels for a good VR experience. At this point, the specs essentially match up with what Oculus has put forth: a GTX 970 or better on the desktop and a GTX 980 (full, not 980M) on mobile.
Other than that, Ken and I took in some of the more recent VR demos including Epic's Bullet Train on the final Oculus Rift and Google's Tilt Brush on the latest iteration of the HTC Vive. Those were both incredibly impressive though the Everest demo that simulates a portion of the mountain climb was the one that really made me feel like I was somewhere else.

CES 2016: ASUS Announces XG Station 2 External Graphics
Subject: Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 5, 2016 - 04:47 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: external graphics, CES 2016, CES, asus
While external graphics has been a thing for quite some time, it was rarely an available thing. Several companies, such as AMD, Lucid, and others, announced products that were never sold. ASUS had their XG Station for Windows Vista that allowed laptops to plug into a GeForce 8600 GT, which was only available in Australia. Only now are we beginning to see options from Alienware, MSI, and even Microsoft that are widely available.
ASUS is jumping back in, too. Not much is known about the XG Station 2, except that it is "specially designed for ASUS laptops and graphics cards." This sounds like it is using a proprietary connector, similar to Alienware and MSI, to connect to ASUS laptops. Also saying it's specifically for ASUS graphics cards is a bit confusing, though. If it is an open PCIe slot, I'm not sure why or how it would be limited to ASUS cards. If the graphics cards are pre-installed, then we don't know the list of potential GPUs.
Either way, ASUS states that the dock can be disconnected without shutting down the PC. I'm interested to see how the GPU is supposed to be unplugged, as Alienware's option can only be done when the system is off, and Microsoft's Surface Book has a software detach with a hardware latch. The connector will also charge the laptop, which is an interesting add-in.
Pricing and availability varies, like the other ASUS announcements, by region.

Rumor: Polaris Is the next AMD Radeon Core Architecture
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 31, 2015 - 01:41 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumor, report, radeon, Polaris, graphics card, gpu, GCN, amd
A report claims that Polaris will succeed GCN (Graphics Core Next) as the next AMD Radeon GPU core, which will power the 400-series graphics cards.
Image via VideoCardz.com
As these rumors go, this is about as convoluted as it gets. VideoCardz has published the story, sourced from WCCFtech, who was reporting on a post with supposedly leaked slides at HardwareBattle. The primary slide in question has since been pulled, and appears below:

Of course the name does nothing to provide architectural information on this presumptive GCN replacement, and a new core for the 400-series GPUs was expected anyway after the 300-series was largely a rebranded 200-series (that's a lot of series). Let's hope actual details emerge soon, but for now we can speculate on mysterious tweets from certain interested parties:

Tessellation Support Expands for Intel's Open Linux Driver
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 29, 2015 - 07:05 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: opengl, mesa, linux, Intel
The open-source driver for Intel is known to be a little behind on Linux. Because Intel does not provide as much support as they should, the driver still does not support OpenGL 4.0, although that is changing. One large chunk of that API is support for tessellation, which comes from DirectX 11, and recent patches are adding it for supported hardware. Proprietary drivers exist, at least for some platforms, but they have their own issues.
According to the Phoronix article, once the driver succeeds in supporting OpenGL 4.0, it will not be too long to open the path to 4.2. Tessellation is a huge hurdle, partially because it involves adding two whole shading stages to the rendering pipeline. Broadwell GPUs were recently added, but a patch that was committed yesterday will expand that to Ivy Bridge and Haswell. On Windows, Intel is far ahead -- pushing OpenGL 4.4 for Skylake-based graphics, although that platform only has proprietary drivers. AMD and NVIDIA are up to OpenGL 4.5, which is the latest version.
While all of this is happening, Valve is working on an open-source Vulkan driver for Intel on Linux. This API will be released adjacent to OpenGL, and is built for high-performance graphics and compute. (Note that OpenCL is more sophisticated than Vulkan "1.0" will be on the compute side of things.) As nice as it would be to get high-end OpenGL support, especially for developers who want a more simplified structure to communicate to GPUs with, Vulkan will probably be the API that matters most for high-end video games. But again, that only applies to games that are developed for it.
NVIDIA GameWorks VR 1.1 arrives with support for OpenGL VR SLI support and the Oculus SDK
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 21, 2015 - 01:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: GameWorks VR 1.1, nvidia, Oculus, opengl, vive
If you are blessed with the good fortune of already having a VR headset and happen to be running an NVIDIA GPU then there is a new driver you want to grab as soon as you can. The driver includes a new OpenGL extension that enables NVIDIA SLI support for OpenGL apps that display on an Oculus or Vive. NVIDIA's PR suggests you can expect your performance to improve 1.7 times, not quite doubling but certainly offering a noticeable performance improvement. The update is for both GeForce and Quadro cards.
They describe how the update will generate images in their blog post here. They imply that the changes to your code in order to benefit from this update will be minimal and it will also reduce the CPU overhead required to display the images for the right and left eye. Read on if you are interested in the developer side of this update, otherwise download your new driver and keep an eye out for application updates that enable support for SLI in VR.
Vulkan API Slips to 2016
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 21, 2015 - 07:25 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: vulkan, Mantle, Khronos, dx12, DirectX 12
The Khronos Group announced on Friday that the Vulkan API will not ship until next year. The standards body was expecting to launch it at some point in 2015. In fact, when I was first briefed on it, they specifically said that 2015 was an "under-promise and over-deliver" estimate. Vulkan is an open graphics and compute standard that was derived from AMD's Mantle. It, like OpenCL 2.1, uses the SPIR-V language for compute and shading though, which can be compiled from subsets of a variety of languages.
I know that most people will be quick to blame The Khronos Group for this, because industry bodies moving slowly is a stereotype, but I don't think it applies. When AMD created Mantle, it bore some significant delays at all levels. Its drivers and software were held back, and the public release of its SDK was delayed out of existence. Again, it would be easy to blame AMD for this, but hold on. We now get to Microsoft. DirectX 12, which is maybe even closer to Mantle than Vulkan is due to its shading language, didn't roll out as aggressively as Microsoft expected, either. Software is still pretty much non-existent when they claimed, at GDC 2014, that about 50% of PC games would be DX12-compatible by Holiday 2015. We currently have... ... zero (excluding pre-release).
Say what you like about the three examples individually, but when all three show problems, then there might just be a few issues that took longer than expected to solve. Again, this is a completely different metaphor of translating voltages coming through a PCI Express bus into fancy graphics and GPU compute, and create all of the supporting ecosystems, too.
Speaking of ecosystems, The Khronos Group has also announced that Google has upgraded their membership to "Promoter" to get more involved with Vulkan development. Google has been sort-of hostile towards certain standards from The Khronos Group on Android in the past, such as disabling OpenCL on Nexus devices, and trying to steer developers into using Android Extension Pack and Renderscript. They seem to want to use Vulkan proper this time, which is always healthy for the API.
I guess look forward to Vulkan in 2016... hopefully early.
Thought you wouldn't see a new Radeon Crimson driver before the New Year, eh?

Tagged: radeon, crimson, amd
That's right folks, the official AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.12 has just launched for you to install. This includes the fixes for fan speeds when you are using AMD Overdrive, your settings will stick and the fans will revert to normal after you go back to the desktop from an intense gaming session. There are multiple fixes for Star Wars Battlefront, Fallout 4 and several GUI fixes within the software itself. As always there are still a few kinks being worked out but overall it is worth popping over to AMD to grab the new driver. You should also have less issues upgrading from within Crimson after this update as well.
NVIDIA Updates GeForce Experience with Beta Features
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 16, 2015 - 08:12 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, geforce experience, geforce
A new version of GeForce Experience was published yesterday. It is classified as a beta, which I'm guessing means that they wanted to release it before the Holidays, but they didn't want to have to fix potential, post-launch issues during the break. Thus, release it as a beta so users will just roll back if something doesn't work. On the other hand, NVIDIA is suggesting that it will be a recurring theme with their new "Early Access" program.
It has a few interesting features, though. First, it has a screenshot function that connects with Imgur. Steam's F12 function is pretty good for almost any title, but there are some times that you don't want to register the game with Steam, so a second option is welcome. They also have an overlay to control your stream, rather than just an indicator icon.
They added the ability to choose the Twitch Ingest Server, which is the server that the broadcaster connects to and delivers your stream into Twitch's back-end. I haven't used ShadowPlay for a while, but you previously needed to use whatever GeForce Experience chose. If it's not the best connection (ex: across the continent) then you basically had to deal with it. OBS and OBS Studio have these features too of course. I'll be clear: NVIDIA is playing catch-up to open source software in that area.
The last feature to be mentioned might just be the most interesting, though. A while ago, we mentioned that NVIDIA wants to allow online co-op by a GameStream-like service. They now have it, and it's called GameStream Co-op. The viewer can watch, take over your input, or register as a second gamepad. It requires a GeForce GTX 650 (or 660M) or higher.
Pushing the ASUS STRIX R9 380X DirectCU II OC to the limit

Tagged: amd, asus, STRIX R9 380X DirectCU II OC, overclock
Out of the box the ASUS STRIX R9 380X OC has a top GPU speed of 1030MHz and memory at 5.7GHz, enough to outperform a stock GTX 960 4GB at 1440p but not enough to provide satisfactory performance at that resolution. After spending some time with the card, [H]ard|OCP determined that the best overclock they could coax out of this particular GPU was 1175MHz and 6.5GHz, so they set about testing the performance at 1440p again. To make it fair they also overclocked their STRIX GTX 960 OC 4GB to 1527MHz and 8GHz. Read the full review for the detailed results, you will see that overclocking your 380X does really increase the value you get for your money.
"We take the new ASUS STRIX R9 380X DirectCU II OC based on AMD's new Radeon R9 380X GPU and overclock this video card to its highest potential. We'll compare performance in six games, including Fallout 4, to a highly overclocked ASUS GeForce GTX 960 4GB video card and find out who dominates 1440p gaming."

[H]ard|OCP recently wrapped up a review of the MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK and are now revisiting the GPU, focusing on the performance at 4K resolutions. The particular card that they have tops out at 1340MHz base and a 1441MHz boost clock which results in an in-game frequency of 1567MHz. For comparison testing they have tested their overclocked card against the SEA HAWK at the factory overclock and a regular 980 Ti at 4k resolution. Read on to see if this watercooled 980 Ti is worth the premium price in the full review.
"Our second installment with the MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK focuses in on gameplay at 4K and how viable it is with the fastest overclocked GTX 980 Ti we have seen yet. We will be using a reference GeForce GTX 980 Ti to show the full spectrum of the 980 Ti's performance capabilities and emphasize the MSI GTX 980 Ti SEA HAWK's value."

AMD HSA Patches Hoping for GCC 6
Subject: Graphics Cards, Processors | December 8, 2015 - 08:07 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: hsa, GCC, amd
Phoronix, the Linux-focused hardware website, highlighted patches for the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) that implement HSA. This will allow newer APUs, such as AMD's Carrizo, to accelerate chunks of code (mostly loops) that have been tagged with a precompiler flag as valuable to be done on the GPU. While I have done some GPGPU development, many of the low-level specifics of HSA aren't areas that I have too much experience with.
The patches have been managed by Martin Jambor of SUSE Labs. You can see a slideshow presentation of their work on the GNU website. Even though features froze about a month ago, they are apparently hoping that this will make it into the official GCC 6 release. If so, many developers around the world will be able to target HSA-compatible hardware in the first half of 2016. Technically, anyone can do so regardless, but they would need to specifically use the unofficial branch on the GCC Subversion repository. This probably means compiling it themselves, and it might even be behind on a few features in other branches that were accepted into GCC 6.
Asetek Sends Cease and Desist for Water-Cooled GPUs
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 6, 2015 - 11:29 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: gigabyte, cooler master, asetek, amd
AMD and Gigabyte have each received cease and desist letters from Asetek, regarding the Radeon Fury X and GeForce GTX 980 Water Force, respectively, for using a Cooler Master-based liquid cooling solution. The Cooler Master Seiden 120M is a self-contained block and water pump, which courts have ruled that it infringes on one of Asetek's patents. Asetek has been awarded 25.375% of Cooler Master's revenue from all affected products since January 1st, 2015.
This issue obviously affects NVIDIA less than AMD, since it applies to a single product from just one AIB partner. On AMD's side, however, it affects all Fury X products, but obviously not the air-cooled Fury and Fury Nano cards. It's also possible that future SKUs could be affected as well, especially since upcoming, top end GPUs will probably be in small packages adjacent HBM 2.0 memory. This dense form-factor lends itself well to direct cooling techniques, like closed-loop water.
Even more interesting is that we believe Asetek was expecting to get the Fury X contract. We reported on an Asetek press release that claimed they received their "Largest Ever Design Win" with an undisclosed OEM. We expected it to be the follow-up to the 290X, which we assumed was called 390X because, I mean, AMD just chose that branding, right? Then the Fury X launched and it contained a Cooler Master pump. I was confused. No other candidate for "Largest Ever Design Win" popped up from Asetek, either. I guess we were right? Question mark? The press release of Asetek's design win came out in August 2014 while Asetek won the patent case in December of that year.
Regardless, this patent war has been ongoing for several months now. If it even affects any future products, I'd hope that they'd have enough warning at this point.
NVIDIA Publishes 359.12 Hotfix Driver for GTX 860M

Tagged: nvidia, graphics drivers, 860m
Users of notebooks with the GeForce GTX 860M GPU have apparently been experiencing crashes in many new titles. To remedy these issues, NVIDIA has published GeForce Hotfix Driver 359.12. If you do not have the GeForce GTX 860M, and all of your games work correctly, then you probably shouldn't install this. It has not been tested as much as official releases, by either Microsoft or NVIDIA, so other issues could have been introduced and no-one would know.
If you do have that specific GPU though, and you are having problems running certain titles, then you can install the driver now. Otherwise, you can wait for future, WHQL-certified drivers too. Some users are apparently claiming that the issues were fixed, while others complain about crashes in games like Mad Max and Shadow of Mordor.
AMD Confirms Tonga 384-bit Memory Bus, Not Enabled For Any Products

While it was reported a year ago that AMD's Tonga XT GPU had a 384-bit memory bus in articles sourcing the same PC Watch report, when the Radeon R9 380X was released last month we saw a Tonga XT GPU with a 256-bit memory interface.
The full Tonga core features a 384-bit GDDR5 memory bus (Credit: PC Watch)
Reports of the upcoming card had consistently referenced the wider 384-bit bus, and tonight we are able to officially confirm that Tonga (not just Tonga XT) has been 384-bit capable all along, though this was never enabled by AMD. The reason? The company never found the right price/performance combination.
AMD confirms 384-bit bus available on Tonga, just not enabled on any product, including 380X. Didn't find a perfect perf/$ slot.
— Ryan Shrout (@ryanshrout) December 4, 2015
AMD's Raja Koduri confirmed Tonga's 384-bit bus tonight, and our own Ryan Shrout broke the news on Twitter.
So does this mean an upcoming Tonga GPU could offer this wider memory bus? Tonga itself was a follow-up to Tahiti (R9 280/280X), which did have a 384-bit bus, but all along the choice had been made to keep the updated core at 256-bit.
Now more than a year after the launch of Tonga a new part featuring a fully enabled memory bus doesn't seem realistic, but it's still interesting to know that significantly more memory bandwidth is locked away from owners of these cards.
Report: NVIDIA To Cut GeForce GTX 900 Series GPU Prices
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 30, 2015 - 03:48 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: rumor, report, price cut, nvidia, GTX 980, GTX 970, gtx 960, geforce
A report published by TechPowerUp suggests NVIDIA will soon be cutting prices across their existing GeForce lineup, with potential price changes reaching consumers in time for the holiday shopping season.
So what does this report suggest? The GTX 980 drops to $449, the GTX 970 goes to $299, and the GTX 960 goes to $179. These are pretty consistent with some of the sale or post-rebate prices we've seen of late, and such a move would certainly even things up somewhat between AMD and NVIDIA with regard to cost. Of course, we could see an answer from AMD in the form of a price reduction from their R9 300-series or Fury/Nano. We can only hope!
We've already seen prices come down during various black Friday sales on several GPUs, but the potential for a permanent price cut makes for interesting speculation if nothing else. Not to disparage the source, but no substantive evidence exists to directly point to a plan by NVIDIA to lower their GPU prices for some 900-series cards, but it would make sense given their competition from AMD at various price points.
Here's to lower prices going forward.

The University of Toronto has just received a $200,000 grant from the NVIDIA Foundation for research in identifying genetic links to cancer. The institution uses GPUs to learn and identify mutations that cause the disease, which is hoped to eventually help diagnose the attributes of cancer for a specific patient and provide exact treatments. Their "next step" is comparing their technology with data from patients.
I am not too informed on cancer research, so I will point to the article and its sources for specifics. The team state that the libraries they create will be freely available for other biomedical researchers. They don't mention specific licenses or anything, but the article is not really an appropriate venue for that sort of discussion.
Fix Coming for AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 29, 2015 - 05:25 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: amd, graphics driver, radeon, crimson
Users have been reporting that the latest AMD graphics driver, Radeon Software Crimson Edition, has been incorrectly setting fan speeds. Some users report that the driver spins up fans to 100% and others report that they slow down to 30% regardless of load.
Over the weekend, AMD acknowledged the issue and claim that a fix is intended for Monday.
Some users also claim that the card will stick with that fan setting until it cooks itself. This seems odd to me, since GPUs (and CPUs of course) are now designed to down-volt if temperatures reach unsafe levels, and even cut power entirely if heat cannot be managed. We haven't really seen reports of graphics cards cooking themselves since the Radeon HD 5000 series implemented hardware in response to Furmark and OCCT. That said, the driver bug might some how override these hardware protections.
In the mean time, you'll either want to keep an eye on your fan settings and reset them as necessary, or roll back to the previous driver. AMD didn't comment on the high fan speed issue that some were complaining about, so I'm not sure if this fix will address both issues.
ASUS 20th Anniversary Gold Edition GTX 980 Ti Announced

Tagged: asus, 980 Ti
As most of our readers are well aware, the graphics market is dominated by two GPU vendors, both of which sell chips and reference designs to add-in board partners. ASUS is one of the oldest add-in board partners. According to their anniversary website, ASUS even produced a card that was based on the S3 ViRGE/DX graphics chipset all the way back in 1996.
To celebrate their 20th anniversary, although they don't exactly state when they start counting, ASUS has released a few high-end versions of Maxwell-based graphics cards. This one is the ASUS 20th Anniversary Gold Edition GTX 980 Ti. It comes with a base clock speed of 1266 MHz, which boosts up to 1367 MHz as needed. This is quite high, considering the reference card is clocked at 1000 MHz and boosts to 1189 MHz, although overclocking the 980 Ti is not too difficult to begin with. Ryan got up to 1465 MHz with a reference card. The Gold Edition GTX 980 Ti might go even higher with its enhanced cooling and power delivery, and it's designed for liquid nitrogen if you're that type of enthusiast.
Speaking of liquid nitrogen features, the card advertises a "Memory Defroster" feature that looks rather extreme. I can't say that I've ever seen a graphics card get covered in a visible layer of ice, but I've also never attached it to a reservoir of liquid with a temperature that's easier to write in Kelvin than Celcius.
Is this a legit problem? Or does this seem like "anti-dust shield" to everyone else too?
The ASUS 20th Anniversary Gold Edition GTX 980 Ti ships this month.

LOS ANGELES—(May 12, 2014) – Responding to fan demand, Vivid Entertainment said today a hard-core movie starring Chelsea Handler's side-kick Chuy Bravo is now available on the www.vivid.com website in addition to airing on Vivid TV, the company's television division. Chuy Bravo Porn Star, featuring the famous 4-foot 3-inch actor, made its television debut on Cinco de Mayo (May 5). In Chuy Bravo Porn Star the most famous little person in adult entertainment, who is a regular on E!'s Chelsea Lately, gets intimate with Latina adult star Aurora and black MILF Sierra. The film also includes a highly erotic wrestling scene with Zazie and Sindee Williams. Fishwrapper.com editor Sarah Taylor said of the movie: "In a small, but powerful, nutshell, Chuy has hot, unbridled and animalistic sex." Bravo continues to make news apart from his hard-core movies. TMZ.com reported that he observed Cinco de Mayo "by making a bunch of 'naked bitches' wrestle in salsa at a Vegas strip club … with festivities that include foxy boxing, an adult piÅ"ata ... and two strippers going at it in a vat of hot spicy salsa!" ! The Mexican-born Bravo has been associated with Chelsea Handler for the past decade. Before he became assistant/sidekick/foil on her late night talk show he starred with her in an E! sketch-comedy show. He has had acting roles Austin Powers 3: Goldmember, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and The Rundown, is a published author with a comedic memoir titled Little Nuggets of Wisdom: Big Advice from the Small Star of Chelsea Lately and headlined a comedy tour featuring Latino stand-ups. "Chuy seems to have a natural inclination to perform in the adult category. He's clearly uninhibited and obviously enjoys the experience. With Chelsea's E! show winding down, Chuy might want to consider talking to us about opportunities at Vivid," said company chief Steven Hirsch.

Sensitivity and specificity of visual acuity screening for refractive errors in school children
Tong, Louis, Saw, Seang-Mei, Tan, Donald, Chia, Kee-Seng, Chan, Wai-Ying, Carkeet, Andrew D., Chua, Wei-Han, & Hong, Chin-Ye (2002) Sensitivity and specificity of visual acuity screening for refractive errors in school children. Optometry And Vision Science, 79(10), pp. 650-657.
PURPOSE: To examine the optimal cutoff point for the use of the visual acuity test to screen for refractive errors in schoolchildren. METHODS: In a sample of schoolchildren between 7 and 9 years old, visual acuity testing was performed using modified ETDRS charts monocularly without optical aids by trained personnel. Cycloplegic autorefraction was performed in each eye. The screening efficacy of using various cutoff points for referring children for further optometric/ ophthalmic assessment was studied. Myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent of at least -0.5 D, hyperopia a spherical equivalent of at least +2.0 D, and astigmatism a cylinder of at least -1.0 D in at least one eye. The sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were calculated using each patient as a case; a receiver operator curve was plotted. RESULTS: A total of 1,028 children were tested. A satisfactory sensitivity/specificity profile was obtained using a referral criterion of visual acuity worse than or equal to 0.28 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution in at least one eye. In this scenario, the sensitivity and specificity of this screening test were 72% (95% confidence interval [CI], 68 to 76) and 97% (95%CI, 95 to 98), respectively. The positive and negative predictive values were 96% (95%CI, 93 to 98) and 78% (95%CI, 75 to 82), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The modified ETDRS visual acuity chart can be used to predict refractive errors in schoolchildren in Singapore in a sensitive and specific manner using a referral criterion of worse than or equal to 0.28 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution.

Kitchen sink, broken drainpipe
A bit of background: I own an old house, concrete slab, no crawlspace, clay drainpipes. We've had problems with roots in the pipes, and recently had our local plumber/septic crew out to root the kitchen drain line, because it was backing up and flooding the kitchen.
He rooted the line, and left some instructions for me to do repair work to the connection to the floor drain pipe to prevent future spill into the kitchen if the system backs up again - they have a higher opinion of my plumbing skills than I do. I'm amateur at best - I know enough to wrap threads in teflon tape - other than that, I'm a computer guy.
His instructions:
My questions:
Is this something possible for an amateur to do, or should I call a plumber?
Is this worthwhile? Can it be sealed by cramming pvc down into the drainpipe and filling the cracks with some kind of sealant?
If I should proceed, then what advice can you give me?
Am I going to have to cut off the pvc pipe above the fernco connector? Everything's old under there, and the proximity of the copper pipe next to the drain concerns me - old copper can spring leaks pretty easy.
What should I use as "rubber seal around"? I'm not sure if I should be pumping caulk down into that pipe to try to seal around a piece of pvc - I wouldn't want to cause my own clog by pumping crud down into there.

This Independence Day, think about the freedom that comes with having life insurance.
Even though the Fourth of July is in our rear view mirror, I'm still thinking about freedom.
Believe it or not, life insurance and freedom are related. When you or your family receives a death benefit, that money for the most part is delivered tax free. When you know your family is protected, you are free from the heavy burden that comes with NOT having life insurance. When you decide to do the right thing and get a quote, it's FREE and takes only 5 minutes.
You're probably thinking, I'm healthy, I'm (sort of) young, I'm not going to die. And you're probably right – that is, chances are you won't die tomorrow. But you will die. I can guarantee it. I've been in this business for almost 30 years, and I've met plenty of people who said they'd "get to life insurance later" or they "didn't have time right now" to think about life insurance. And I've seen cases where a person continues to put it off only to unexpectedly die. This stuff really happens.
Let's be frank…no one gets excited about buying life insurance… paying premiums… and coming to grips with the fact that you're going to die. But that day will come. And when it does, will your family have enough money to pay for your funeral, monthly rent or mortgage payments, food, tuition, clothes, medical expenses, car payments and utilities? Will the people you love most still have the freedom to live life the way you want them to?
You can either die with life insurance or without it.
But ask yourself this before going another day without coverage (or without enough coverage): Can you fathom a scenario where you'd be better off dying WITHOUT life insurance?
If YOU don't do something, WHO WILL? If not NOW, when?

Hi all, you probably wondered where I've been hiding – some of you know about me moving and trying to build a new home (repairing that is) and it's taken more energy than I hoped for. Now – one bright light lately have been the Dp2. I will be making this very short and let pictures speak loud – as the camera that I used isn't the final production unit.
Click on picture for "large" flickr size.
Click "original" for full resolution version.
Original. Not sure how Sigma makes this possible but this insane 24,5mm F2.8 lens wants to be used wide open. And working in monochrome white balance in Sigma Photo pro is just a joy! Look at these tones! (and yes, that's my grand mother!)
Original. Another shot wide open. Not sure you understand how useful and cool this is. Look at rendition of the fabric and her skin. And how sweet isn't the bokeh? and and and..
Original. Strong spring sunlight ISO100, wide open. :)
Original. The blue "sky" is water – and this is a good example of the new color modes within the DP2. To get the very best color dynamics Sigma created different color modes that really brings life into every shot. Of course these color modes can be changed later in Sigma Photo Pro if RAW is used. This particular picture is slightly overexposed but I think it managed this bright sunlight well. Oh, and slight hand shake included! :)
Original. Please take a closer look. admit it's a really insane lens!
Original. 15 second exposure. Trying those color modes. I do have a "real" looking shot with correct white balance and another color mode but I liked the look of this one. It came out way dark and that's why 100-200 ISO (was shot at ISo50) – Also my only picture with tripod used.
Original. Bokeh / close up test. And this is F5.6 and ISO50 which does burn highlights if not careful. Amazing detail even at lens corners. Here's a recent post with more DP2 ISO50 shots and comments.
Original. The Dp2 now has a ISO1600 and 3200 mode – which I think should be considered monochrome modes as they don't really look good in color. But as soon monochrome white balance is selected in Sigma Photo Pro they really come to life!
Original. Just processed. ISO200 and F2.8. And NO, no saturation added, only the magic Landscape mode. ;)
Ok, main pointers.
- Faster operation! Now very useful in studio as shot to shot is much improved! Also for 360 panoramic photography. Wait is now over. :)
- Color Modes! For color maniacs such as myself I really like this. Will get back to this in more detail later.
- Lens. 24,5 (41mm) at F2.8. One word! Wow! There is a slight distortion but none has been taken care off in the above shots – it's really no issue.Just look at that Bokeh and how well it handles tough light etc. jaij!
- TIME LAPS function! From 30s to 24h (and options in between) – Will make something fun using this. :D
- Sigma Photo Pro 3.3 is now speedier on Mac. :)
- ADDED! ISO1600 and ISO3200! Not perfect for color but very very nice for the unique monochrome setting available in Sigma Photo Pro.
- ISO50 looks fantastic!
And negatives? Well, I'll get to those later as well. First I need to get my hands on a "real" production unit so I don't give you rubbish. UPDATE! But a little something is now made with both good and bad. Link to High ISO.

A blog about a lot of nothing, or everything
Ashley Babbitt
Well, there've been requests via the almighty '30 Seconds' that we blog more. According to the poster, we should have enough time. So, here goes nothin'. Literally, this will probably be a blog about nothing.
The reporters and I have been working tirelessly on the annual Progress Chenango edition, set to be published the week of Jan. 27. This work is done on top of the regular daily workload, and they've been devoting many hours at interviews or sitting at their desks typing away.
This past week has been my busiest in recent memory, and now it's all a blur. I can tell you I was at the Chenango County Sheriff's Office four out of five days last week. I can only remember two of the reasons why at this time. Oh, wait – the third just came to me. I still have no clue what I did on Tuesday. I spent a couple hours with Chenango County Court Judge Frank Revoir, and that was interesting. An hour or more was spent with Norwich Police Chief Joe Angelino, and I thoroughly enjoyed that interview. Same goes for the interview I had with District Attorney Joe McBride.
Mind you, I have to write stories about each of the above interviews today, but am opting to blog first, because … well, I haven't had enough coffee yet and this blog is more mindless.
In addition to my regular duties of building the paper, answering phone calls and emails, managing an editorial staff, drinking coffee, listening to music, and doodling on a white board, and writing, I've been doing some other things as a form of stress relief.
I covered county court on Friday because I felt like it. Another reason I wanted to go is because I reported on a meeting held at the CCSO Thursday night where McBride encouraged those in attendance to make a public presence at court, and I wanted to see if his advice was heeded. As for Friday's court … nope. It was the usual staff, the judge and lawyers, defendants and family, and myself. Granted, some people hold jobs that don't allow them the freedom to sit in a court room from 10:30 a.m. until noon, but I thought a few people might show and I wanted to follow up.
Reminder to the public if they do decide to check out court, it's wise to leave your phone in your car, as well as any other cameras or recording devices, and – as always – bring no weapons. I like to go with four notebooks, a pen in my hair (and three extras in my purse … I tend to go places with allllmost dead pens), and four bottles of water. Even though this week will be busy, I want to cover court again Monday to see if members of the public attend.
Shifting gears, as most people know, the body of Christopher Gonzalez was found off of Route 36 on Friday afternoon. I believe I have mentioned the power of social media before, but if not, I'll touch on that only briefly.
I received 11 messages to my personal Facebook account on Friday that simply said "Hey, what's with the body found?" or "Body on Pratt Rd!" or "Know anything about the body?" I called the State Police and asked, and was told there was no information. I knew the State Police were leading the investigation, but gave it a shot and called the CCSO too, and hit a dead end, as expected.
One more message was sent via Facebook, and I thought, "Okay, fine. I'm not finding out anything by calling authorities, and I don't have to build Monday's pages until Sunday, so I have time. I'll grab my camera and drive around."
After traveling down 36 for a short time, I ran into a bunch of police vehicles, so I pulled over at a safe location, got out of my car, and took a bunch of photos. Thank you, Facebook friends, for the heads up.
Reporters attempted to get in touch with police who would confirm reports, but it took a little time. We were told that they would have a statement around 4 p.m. At that time, we were able to release the information we had.
I had planned – for weeks – to spend this weekend in New Hampshire, my favorite place to chill. After this week, I really, really needed to get away. However, I had to cancel my plans because there is so much work to do. I hope to get out there the final weekend of January, otherwise it will be the first month since June that I have not made the journey, and that really bums me out. My time there re-boots my brain, calms down my nerves, and makes my heart and head happy. I come back ready to roll, and it's such a refreshing feeling. Hopefully the universe will cooperate for a Jan. 31 weekend trip.
Hmm … what else has been happening?
Oh, despite how busy I have been (and will continue to be), I still need to have a life. I checked out the local band The Suspicious Hats at The Blarney Stone Pub on Friday night, and that was fun. They always put on a good show. This was, however, two-fold, as I also needed photos for a story I'm working on about live music in the area. My ginger ale with cranberry juice and a slice (or three) of lime was tasty every time I ordered it. The band played some of my favorite tunes.
I opted to do zero work on Saturday, since I was supposed to be in New Hampshire anyway. It felt nice, but leaves me a lot to catch up on today. Oh well. I love to write, so I can't complain.
Side-note for the fun of it: I have some of the most hilarious, entertaining friends on the planet. My day of zero work was spectacular.
I realized I need to try more things. I've never been on a motorcycle. I only theoretically know how to drive a car with manual transmission. I've never jumped out of a plane. I need to check off a couple of those. Soon.
Long-time Sports Editor Pat Newell will be high-tailing it to New Mexico after the winter sports season ends. I am happy for him and his other half to take part in new adventures on the other side of the country, but I'll miss him. I should find out if he likes cake. Or brownies. Or cookies. And if so, I should make some for him before he leaves.
That being said, we're on the lookout for a new Sports Ed. If you're interested, please send resume, cover letter, and writing samples to email@example.com.
I feel like I add this in just about everything I write, but:
Dear school bus drivers,
You are not entitled. You're entrusted with the safety and care of transporting kiddos to and from school. Four-way stop signs apply to you. So do red lights. So do speed limits. In a school zone, you should not be traveling faster than 15 mph. In the city, you shouldn't exceed 30 mph. The last thing that needs to happen is an accident with a school bus full of children and another vehicle, or a bus-on-pedestrian accident. Seriously. Slow it down and pay attention. I'm sure parents and the general public would appreciate your cooperation. If you want me to stop for you when you put out your stop sign, you need to follow the other basics of travel.
On a related note, the light at the Hale St and Midland Drive/Prentice Street intersection is back in operating order. While it was a four-way stop during the few days it took for repairs of the signal, I witnessed so many people running through the sign. It really makes sense to pay attention when you're driving, especially since that intersection is so close to the school, and the area sees heavy traffic in the mornings and afternoons throughout the week.
We had some cold temperatures lately, and complaints came from all over. Newsflash: It is January in Central New York. It gets cold. Don't worry, spring will arrive soon enough and it'll be muddy and rainy, and I'm sure people will have to gripe about that one. I allow myself one complaint per season. I've already used my winter complaint, and I got it out of the way early.
I love rain – as a matter of fact I'm listening to Trevor Hall's tune "Good Rain" right now – so it's always hard to come up with a complaint about spring. I guess mine will be something like, "Man, it's cloudy but warm, I wish it were raining so I could go play in the puddles."
It has been weeks since I've seen my best friend. She lives a 1.5 minute drive away. We just had a conversation about our mutual hate for "skinny jeans." She is the best.
Alright, hopefully this is sufficient enough to keep the masses at bay for a little bit. Time to make some more coffee, and get to work.
Please be kind to one another. You don't know what someone else is going through.

Insulation stop air through crawlspace
1 Attachment(s)
I am a DIY with some experience. Usually did repairs and building with my dad. He has passed away. I am on my own. I don't want to spend time and money on this and not get and results. I need someone who has experience to give me advice or suggestions.
Our electric bills have been $400 plus and I think I have found one reason. I have a walkout basement that has a shop area and the shop is letting tons of outside air into the crawl space. The exterior wall of the shop has no insulation at all and the interior is partially insulated. In winter our main level floor is cold and summer our basement is warm. I am looking at blocking the air flow and insulating the crawl space to the shop area. For other reasons I can not drywall the area, so I am trying my best to help reduce what I can.
Attached is a picture of the area
Area 1 is on the left where the studs go to all the way to the top. My thoughts are to place the foam board behind the studs and continue up with the fiberglass.
I understand fiberglass doesn't block air and the foam board will do this. My hopes is that the combo will stop air flow and keep the temp and moisture controlled.
Area 2 is on the right where the studs stop and the crawl space is open. Darn pipe is there. Thinking I could manage to install 3 layers of the foam board to get the R up to 15.
FYI There is access to the crawl space on the other side of the house for repairs, so I can completely block this area off if needed.
Oh should I have a vapor barrier since this area is storage for a lawn mower and motorcycle?
Any suggestions would be helpful!
Your electric bills being high, could be due to habits of the household, electric water heater with a bad heating element, rollove from previous unpaid bill, heat pump stuck in defrost cycle, or electric heating coils for aux heat stuck on.
Suggest you review the bill and the figure out what is going on, by using a clamp on amp meter and measuring various electric circuits.
Right now I am looking at my Electric portion being aroung $140 for last month, but you do not see me running around complaining.
$140 for electric would be nice. $400 a month is not so nice. I'm not complaining, I am trying to fix it. Thanks so much for your help.
If this garage is attached and there's living space above or on the other sides of those walls by code there has to be 5/8 fire rock.
If you decide to use foam it's stamped right on it that it's flammable and also would need to be covered. When it melts it gives off toxic fumes.
Consider this instead.
Lack of roof venting, insulation in the attic, window and door air leaks are more likely to be the cause of the high bills.
Insulating is not going to lower your electric bill. You need to use an amp meter to find the culprit. Give us a list of all the electric appliances in the home, and have the past twelve months of bills been real readings, or estimates?
Did they switch you over to a Smart meter anytime in the past twele months?

Some people have managed to completely ruin their cars by improper lifting, trying to jack the car up using the frame rails or worse the floor panels will without doubt, result in a damaged chassis, just don't do it like that. This, is the proper way to do it, safely, with out damaging anything. Note: E-brake should be on.
Step 1, if your car is low - which it probably is - you're going to need to drive your front wheels up onto a set of blocks, just enough so you'll have enough space for the jack to slide under the front bumper.
|How To Safely and Properly Jack Up any Car
|Jacking up the Nissan Skyline by lifting Under the Sub Frame
|Safely Positioning Jack Stands on Nissan Skyline
At the rear, looking under the car locate the rear differential. Just in front of the rear diff, you will see a circular sub-frame support, the rear drive shaft actually passes right through the center of the hole. This is your rear jacking point, it is solid and will not cause any damage here.
Begin lifting the rear until you have enough height that you can slide 2 jack stands onto the rear sub-frame to support the weight, I use the triangular metal pieces where the sub-frame meets the chassis, there is a large bushing and bolt which holds the sub-frame to the chassis.
Slowly lower the jack allowing the car to come into position on all 4 jack stands now, and remove the jack lift from under the car. Putting the car back on the floor is the exact same but in reverse. Never work on your car with the vehicle weight supported only by jack lift, it's too dangerous and not worth the risk.

Don't Pay Too Much Tax as a UK Student
With tax often taking a large chunk out of your pay check every week or month, it's certainly something that you want to be getting right. Recently, there have been a lot of students discovering that they have actually paid too much tax while working varied part-time hours. It's not uncommon for people to leave university with several hundred pounds owed to them.
Just to clear things up, students do pay tax. It is a common misconception that they don't, which is largely due to the fact that many don't earn enough to be eligible to pay.
Working Overtime
The main problem is that while at university, many people tend to have part-time work that varies week by week in the hours worked. You might have a contract for 8, 16 or 20 hours for instance, but if it's a busy time of year, or your employer is short staffed, you may well be called in for more than that. This is good in that you'll earn some extra money, but sometimes, you might end up paying too much tax because of how the system works. This can be applicable for whatever you work as, whether you're hotel staff or work in a bar.
There is a yearly threshold when it comes to tax. You are only taxed when your earnings over the year exceed it. You can find out about the threshold and tax rates on the HMRC website. The problem with this however, is the PAYE tax is worked out on a monthly basis. This means that the yearly allowance is actually divided up into a monthly figure. Whenever you exceed this, you pay tax. As we've said already, it might be the case that some months you earn over the threshold, and sometimes below.
The problem arises when, at the end of the year, you add up all of your earnings and haven't actually earned over the taxable threshold. Simply, this means that you have paid too much tax, because you shouldn't have lost any money on the months where you earned over the monthly allowance. It might also be the case that you did earn over the yearly threshold, but have still actually paid too much tax. This can be worked out by finding out how much you paid in total, and then seeing if this is more than the tax rate of whatever you earned over the threshold.
How to Get Your Tax Back
Fortunately, it isn't overly difficult to reclaim your lost tax. You can either click here to claim tax refund, or do things yourself. The process involves writing to HMRC, backed up with all of the evidence you think is necessary. Overall, it's likely that you'll get the money back within six weeks. Many people do not even realize that they are owed tax, so it is always worth checking through your pay documents to make sure that you aren't missing out.

The vacation rental industry is on the rise and Hawaii remains a top choice, according to the fifth annual TripAdvisor.com survey on the subject.
Fifty-two percent of the more than 1,100 people surveyed said they planned to stay at a vacation rental this year, up eight percent over the number that actually stayed in a vacation rental last year.
Vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods are controversial in Hawaii, a state in which 11 percent of respondents are planning to vacation.
Respondents were asked in which region they planned to stay in a vacation rental for the coming year, and were given the choices of: Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest, Northwest, Southwest, Hawaii, Alaska, I will stay outside of the U.S.
The Southeast won the lion's share at 33 percent, while the Northeast and Southwest tied at 15 percent each.
Sixty-seven percent of travelers prefer the large living space a vacation rental provides over a traditional hotel room, 53 percent cited lower cost as the reason for choosing a vacation rental experience, and 50 percent cited better amenities.
Of those surveyed, 61 percent booked a rental home when traveling with family or other type of large group, and of those, 48 percent cited bonding time in common living space as the reason.

Many voters may be puzzled as to why the media is devoting so much time and space to picking over the suggestion that a seemingly obscure panjandrum in Britain's third party is a groper.
The Westminster chattering classes know Chris Rennard as the secret of the Liberal Democrats' recent successes, a backroom guru influential at its London headquarters for decades – the Rasputin of the Liberals. Unlike the swarthy mystic who mesmerised the Imperial Court of Russia with his hypnotic eyes, the 52-year-old peer is unimposing; podgy, bespectacled and balding.
But inside headquarters in Cowley Street, round the corner from the Houses of Parliament, he was just as commanding – and feared.
He ruled the party machine for more than a decade, first as Director of Campaigns and Elections between 1989 and 2002 and then as a chief executive in 2003 to 2009.
His greatest achievement was transforming the Liberal Democrats from the also-rans of British politics into a credible election-winning force. In 2010, the Liverpudlian left the party with sufficient seats to sweep into power for the first time in generations. Having party members sit round the Cabinet table must have seemed a distant prospect when, as a young agent in 1983, he helped return David Alton as the Liberal MP for Liverpool Mossley Hill.
By then, he was used to overcoming the odds: his dentist father had died when he was three and his disabled mother when he was a teenager. He joined the party because its councillors had helped his mother.
During his career as a local agent, then regional agent and then national campaigns supremo, he adopted the philosophy that the Liberals should be the hyper-local, practical party.
Under his guidance, Liberal Democrat councillors ensured that potholes were fixed, lampposts renewed and bent swings in the local park replaced – and that those minor triumphs were then trumpeted in local newsletters slipped into brown envelopes and addressed by hand. He also developed a national strategy to establish the Liberal Democrats nationally, first in toeholds and then strongholds in every part of the UK, rather than being focused in the Celtic fringes. He was a kingmaker who worked closely with successive leaders, first helping Paddy Ashdown's doubling of seats to 46 at the 1997 general election.
It was he who manoeuvred young Nick Clegg into the safe seat of Sheffield Hallam and, as returning officer in 2007, determined that a batch of late postal votes, that would have handed the leadership to his rival Chris Huhne, were not accepted.
The allegations against Baron Rennard of Wavertree are serious to the party not only because of his prominence and power but also because, amid claims they were brushed aside, they have been transmuted into allegations against the whole party, which has always prided itself on its record on women's rights.
They are also set against a slump in the polls and a series of scandals besetting some of the party's best known figures. In recent weeks, Greater Manchester Police has named the late Cyril Smith MP as a groper of teenage boys; lawyers acting for a woman who claims she was indecently assaulted by the Portsmouth MP Mike Hancock are demanding a party inquiry; and the former Energy Secretary Chris Huhne awaits sentencing for perverting the course of justice.
Lord Rennard vigorously denies the allegations, saying that the party did not receive a single complaint against him in his 27 years' service, to his knowledge. Whatever happens to the allegations, insiders are in no doubt about the scale of his contribution.
One senior peer said last night: "Chris Rennard is one of the best minds and shrewdest strategists I have ever come across in many years."
The question is whether a party that was for so long a loser conveniently ignored allegations against him, because he was a winner.
