2013 Fantasy Football, Week 1 Monday Night Football Preview: Eagles at Redskins
The NFL is back, and it is time for our first Monday Night Football preview article! Wednesday night I suggested snagging Julius Thomas off of your FA list for your TE/FLEX spot, and he wound up having a huge night for the Broncos. Hopefully I can help you out for your Monday Night Football players as well as the Philadelphia Eagles march into DC to face off against the Washington Redskins! Let's break the game down by key fantasy positions.
Quarterbacks: Although there was speculation about the Eagles' Quarterback decision during the offseason, I think Michael Vick is in a really good spot right now. He has a fresh start with a new coach in Chip Kelly, implementing a different style of offense than what was put forth by Andy Reid. In the pre-season the Eagles surprised a lot of people, myself included, by going to the shotgun formation for a high percentage of plays. That doesn't necessarily mean they will continue this into the regular season, but it is a pleasant surprise nonetheless. The Eagles clearly need to protect the oft-injured Vick and on paper they have the strong offensive line to do it. Vick goes into week 1 as the ninth best projected Quarterback, however, Washington goes into week 1 as the second best projected defense. Although they didn't rack up the sacks last year, the Redskins secondary did vault them to third best in the NFL with 21 interceptions. Vick enjoys a career best 84 QB rating in the month of September but I don't like him as a pick this week for fantasy lineups.
Robert Griffin III is coming back from a serious knee injury but appears to be ready to go for week 1. Coach Mike Shanahan will undoubtedly try and have offensive sets that involve Griffin staying in the pocket a lot more than last year. I think Griffin will have an excellent game on Monday night. The Eagles' defense is projected to be second to last in points for week 1. In addition to that and the constant threat of Alfred Morris and Roy Helu's running attack, Griffin should have some good opportunities to hit open receivers. I'll admit, I took a bold shot and called RGIII my bust for this season, but he will not be one in week 1.
Runningbacks: LeSean McCoy is the only name you need to know for the Eagles. He comes into this season highly motivated. Aside from a minor knee tweak in pre-season, McCoy seems primed for a great fantasy year in the run-first Eagles' offense. Washington had the 5th best rushing defense in football last season though, so if he gets stuffed early and RGIII starts putting serious points on the board, it could force Philly to take it to the sky. Regardless, McCoy will get his fantasy points for you this week, he's that explosive. The cherry on the sundae is for PPR leagues, in that McCoy had 15 receptions for 144 yards against the Redskins in their two games last season.
Alfred Morris is a first round fantasy beast. He is a top 5 running back who ran for over 1,600 yards last year with 13 touchdowns. He is a first round pick that is obviously on your starting squad. Roy Helu will back him up, mainly for third downs or the occasional break. Helu is not a fantasy starter though, so as far as Redskins runners for fantasy purposes, its Morris or bust.
Receivers/Tight Ends: DeSean Jackson is the main target for Michael Vick with Jeremy Maclin being out for the season. Although the Eagles will generate their game off of their running package, Jackson should be started weekly on fantasy squads. Riley Cooper slides in as your second receiver, and although there has been a lot of drama surrounding him, he could prove to be of higher value than he was drafted due to the injury to original number two receiver Arrelious Benn, who tore his ACL during the pre-season. Football players need to be installed with backup ACLs, its like MLB pitchers with UCLs. I would stay away from Cooper though, until he proves big target amounts and puts up numbers. He is not a fantasy starter, and neither is slot receiver Jason Avant. It's DeSean Jackson or nothing as of now for Eagles' receivers on your fantasy team.
Pierre Garcon will be RGIII's number one target and after claiming the toe injury that nagged him throughout 2012 is no longer an issue, I expect a good year from Garcon. Philly's defense wont stop him either. He should rack up the points for you this week. Santana Moss, although growing moss in his advanced years, is still a viable secondary target for Griffin. However, he isn't really a viable fantasy option unless you are in a really deep league and your receivers are terrible. The Redskins have Fred Davis at tight end, and I see a good week and year coming from him. For one, the Eagles have a terrible secondary. In addition to that, Davis appears to be completely healthy and is playing for a new contract. He is a solid TE2 and a nice value pick up. He will get some targets Monday night. My sleeper for this week is receiver Josh Morgan. Proceed to the bottom of the article for why.
Defense: This is pretty simple. Washington's defense is projected to have the second highest point total for defenses, and you should in no way shape or form have Philadephia's defense on your roster ever, ever………..never, ever.
FANTASY FREE AGENT WATCH: Josh Morgan (WR – Redskins) is my FA sleeper pick for Monday night. Morgan will not be targeted a lot in week 1, but Philly has a terrible secondary and if Griffin gets rolling he can be primed to sneak some fantasy points in terms of targets, yards, and scores. If you absolutely need a WR, he's worth a glance against a bad Eagles defense.
I think the Redskins will win this game Monday night and I don't think it will be close. I am envisioning some ridiculous play action bombs from Griffin to pad the score later in the game too. Should be fun to watch, unless you're an Eagles fan.

When I first married my Foreign Kiwi Husband (wow, almost 9 years ago), I knew I would be taking on some new Holidays traditions. As well as sharing my own! For instance, when we have Christmas in New Zealand, it is Summer. There is a Christmas BBQ with plenty of bloody Mary's, Ginger beer, Pavlova (which is naturally gluten free, yay!), zesty salads, lamb, and all kinds of fruity chocolate Christmas Cake that taste like candy, or lollies (the Kiwi name for candy). It's awesome! Growing up in Texas, the only Christmas cake I knew of was in the form of Chocolate Bundt Cake, or Oreo pie …cake? Ya, those were all new to the kiwi too. None of these cakes were paleo, or vegan, or even some what "healthy." That is until I (I mean we) created our own traditions. A melting pot of traditions you might say. Ya, that's our Crazy Cotter Household.
I know what you are thinking… "Um, Lindsay, how is an Italian Style Chocolate Christmas Cake a new Holiday tradition?" I'm not Italian. The Kiwi is obviously not Italian. But here's the thing, our tradition is about trying NEW things and recipes. So whenever anyone shares a new Holiday Baking recipe with me, cake or pie, I make it (with a gluten free healthy twist). Some have TOTALLY bombed. Um, like trying to make a paleo pumpkin bundt cake (ugh, don't even ask about that), but the majority have been AWESOME!
For example, the past two years I've had a dear Italian friend, who's like a mom to me, share her family recipes with me. She often asks me how to we can make these recipes with better ingredients or gluten free. Hence the grain free Italian Almond Cake last year. I've also gone through our family cookbook to find new recipes. Remember that hot fruit bake? Yes, that one is EPIC and I made that last year for us too! But paleo and vegan friendly. You see where I'm going with this, right? It's a new tradition with a NEW Christmas Cake or Holiday Bake. Ohhh I rhymed!
As you can see, this year is no different. I am "revamping" a fruit cake. But not your grandma's fruit cake or Christmas cake.
Nope, it's PANFORTE, a dark CHOCOLATE Christmas Cake! The name alone is just way sexier, right? A festive Italian fruit cake with a toffee/candy like texture, rich dark chocolate, nuts, and fruit. You can play around with different types of fruit and nuts as long as you keep the measurements the same. For instance, instead of hazelnuts, I used macadamia nuts and almonds. I also used dried cherries and figs. OH MY!
The key to making this Chocolate Christmas Cake (Panforte) healthier is by using different sweeteners and fats.. My secret? Coconut oil, maple syrup, and dark chocolate baby! Cacao/Cocoa powder to top and mixed right in!
You can sprinkle your chocolate Christmas cake with powdered sugar or use a sugar free powdered sugar.
I mentioned how to make sugar free powdered sugar in this cookie recipe, but there is also a sugar free confectioner sugar available.
We all have own version of healthy, but healthier to means using REAL ingredients that are not processed (if possible).
Thanks to Better Body Foods for letting me use their awesomely organic Coconut oil , vanilla extra, Cacao powder, and Coconut sugar to make this chocolate Christmas cake. The recipe came together perfectly and in no time! What wonderful REAL food ingredients! Check them out for yourself below. Oh and I should note, I find most pf these products at my local grocer (HEB) or at Walmart. Yup, SCORE!
Better Body Foods KEY ingredients for a Paleo and Vegan Chocolate Christmas Cake!:
Coconut Oil (their liquid or Extra Virgin both work in this recipe)
Pure Vanilla
Coconut Palm Sugar
Cacao Powder
Now all you have left to do is slice up and serve your chocolate Christmas cake!
I'm bringing this chocolate Christmas cake to our Christmas Eve Party, but it also makes for a cute gift idea. You know how I love those easy DIY gifts. Just put in a tin box, put a bow on it, then BAM. GIFT IS DONE! At least that's how I think. Haha!
Enjoy the chocolate Christmas cake recipe! If you make it, I'd love for you to share photos of it with me on Instagram and/or Facebook!
Easy Chocolate Christmas Cake {Vegan, Paleo}
This Chocolate Christmas Cake, also known as Panforte Italian Christmas Cake, is easy to make with maple syrup, nuts, dark chocolate, cocoa, spices, and dried fruit. A Christmas cake that's both vegan and paleo friendly with a rich chewy toffee-like texture. Serve in small slices or box it as DIY holiday gift.
- 2 1/2 cups dried fruit, such as fig, dried cranberries, cherries, or pitted dates
- 1 1/4 cup blanched almonds, toasted and then coarsely chopped (Usually found in baking section of store. Regular almonds toasted will work fine if needed).
- 1 cup macadamia nuts or hazelnut (halves), roasted or toasted (if you are using hazelnuts, remove the skin first)
- 3 -4 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder ( Better Body Foods )
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey if you are not vegan)
- 1/2 to 2/3 cup coconut palm sugar. I used Better Body Foods (See notes for similar options)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil Better Body Foods Coconut liquid
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate around 60-70 % cacao (60 grams)
- powdered sugar and cocoa or cacao powder to dust. For sugar free powdered sugar see notes.
- First make sure all your fruit and nuts are chopped. And your macadamia nut or hazel nuts are in halves.
- Preheat oven to 350F. Toast the nuts for 5-10 minutes or until golden. Each oven will vary.
- Remove from oven. (*Note* you can use macadamia nuts that are roasted and not toast them, just chop).
- Now reduce your oven to 325F.
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Grease or line a 8 to 9 inc cake pan with parchment paper. Grease the sides and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Combine fruit, nuts, flour, cocoa, ground ginger, cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Next Combine your maple syrup and palm sugar in a small sauce pot. Mix on low until sugar is dissolved, then bring to a boil. Should reach around 245F. Remove from boil and let it simmer on low 1 -2 minutes.
- Add chocolate and stir until melted (2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Immediately pour the hot syrup and vanilla over the fruit and nut mixture and, with a sturdy spoon, mix quickly until everything mixed and coated..
- Press into prepared caked tin. I would use a spatula that is a bit damp to press the batter into the tin. That way it doesn't stick.
- Bake until set (about 35 minutes or so) .
- Remove from oven.
- Let it sit and cool for a few hours.
- Once cooled, dust with cocoa and/or powdered sugar.
- Slice thin or into small blocks, then keep wrapped or in a tight container. Should make 15-20 small slices or more if you cut into small 1-2 inch squares.
- To keep flavor Wrap tightly in parchment paper and store in tin. Keeps well for a while there.
Recipe Notes
If you don't have coconut palm sugar, then regular sugar will work but it is not paleo. I recommend using coconut palm sugar for that nutty tasty and lower glycemic index.
Sugar free option, Swerve .
If you live in Texas, most of these ingredients are available at HEB stores.

- Family: Melanthiaceae Batsch ex Borkh.
- Genus: Paris L.
Paris japonica (Franch. & Sav.) Franch.
- Genus: Paris L.
The canopy plant's common name refers to the arrangement of its leaves, which form an apical pseudo-whorl resembling the umbrella-like ceremonial canopies held over Japanese Emperors in ancient times. It is one of the most striking species within the genus Paris, with showy white flowers that emerge on a pedicel above the leaves. Like many other representatives of the Parideae tribe in the family Melanthiaceae (including trilliums), this species can be grown as an ornamental, although its specific environmental and ecological requirements present a challenge to gardeners trying to establish it successfully.
According to Kew Species Profiles[KSP]
Kew Species Profiles
- General Description
The genome of the Japanese canopy plant contains 50 times more DNA than the human genome and is 15% larger than the previous record holders (the marbled lungfish and a trillium).
The canopy plant's common name refers to the arrangement of its leaves, which form an apical pseudo-whorl resembling the umbrella-like ceremonial canopies held over Japanese Emperors in ancient times.

Like many other representatives of the Parideae tribe in the family Melanthiaceae (including trilliums), this species can be grown as an ornamental, although its specific environmental and ecological requirements present a challenge to gardeners trying to establish it successfully.
Paris japonica is of great interest to scientists at Kew because its genome contains so much DNA (the most for any plant and 50 times more DNA than the human genome). The causes, consequences and evolution of such a large genome are the focus of ongoing research in the Jodrell Laboratory.
- Species Profile
Geography and distribution
The canopy plant is restricted to Japan, where it grows in the central and northern mountains of Honshu Island.Description
Paris japonica is a perennial plant with a bud-bearing rhizome (underground stem). Adult plants can reach a height of 35-75 cm and have a solitary stem with about 7-10 obovate leaves (12-25 cm wide) in a pseudo-whorl. In Japan P. japonica blooms between May and August, producing a single, stalked, star-like flower composed of up to 10 whitish tepals (2.5-3.5 cm). The fruit, which is a berry or fleshy capsule, becomes dark purple when mature and contains scarlet seeds.Uses
The canopy plant is planted as an ornamental in gardens. Mature fruits are reported to be edible.Cultivation
Ideally, Paris japonica should be grown in acid to neutral soil that is humus-rich and moisture-retentive, but well-drained. It has a preference for damp and dappled shade environments and usually grows in woodlands. It can be propagated either by rhizome stem division in spring or from ripe seed sown in the autumn. A key factor that must to be taken into account, however, is that seeds may take three or more years to germinate.This species at Kew
Two specimens of Paris japonica grow at Kew, and are exhibited in the Davies Alpine House during their flowering period. One of the specimens was collected from the foothills of Shirouma-dake Nagano-ken, Honshu, and donated to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, by the Japanese Alpine Rock Garden Society.Plant DNA C-values database
As part of the ongoing research into genome diversity in angiosperms (flowering plants) in general, and monocots in particular, genome sizes have been measured in a wide range of plants and incorporated into the Plant DNA C-values database. Recent work has particularly focused on monocot families in the Liliales which includes the family Melanthiaceae. The discovery of the enormous genome in Paris japonica was certainly a surprise, especially as it now holds the record for being not only the largest plant genome but also the largest for any eukaryote. This makes P. japonica an interesting source of information which may help us to understand why some plant genomes get so big and how the enormous amounts of DNA are organized and function.Discovering the largest genome known to science
Genome size is the total amount of DNA in the nucleus of an organism, and includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of DNA. There is a staggering diversity of genome sizes. The smallest genome so far reported (0.0023 picogram (pg) of DNA) is found in a parasite ( Encephalitozoon intestinalis ) of humans and other mammals. The human genome, at 3.0 pg, is 1,300 times larger than this, but this pales into insignificance when compared to the size of the genome in some other animals and plants.
Among animals, some amphibians have enormous genomes, but the largest recorded so far is that of the marbled lungfish ( Protopterus aethiopicus ) with 132.83 pg. Among plants, the record holder for 34 years was a species of fritillary ( Fritillaria assyriaca , Liliaceae). However earlier this year a Dutch group knocked the fritillary off the top spot when they found that a natural hybrid of trillium ( Trillium × hagae ), related to herb Paris quadrifoli a , had a genome just 4% larger than the fritillary (132.50 pg).
This was widely thought to be approaching the maximum size that a genome could reach, until this summer when a team of Kew scientists discovered that the genome of another close relative of herb paris, Paris japonica from Japan, is a staggering 15% bigger than the genome of either the trillium or the lungfish at a whopping 152.23 pg.
Ilia Leitch, Research Scientist at the Jodrell Laboratory at Kew says 'We were astounded when we discovered that this small stunning plant had such a large genome - it's so large that when stretched out it would be taller than the tower of Big Ben.
'Some people may wonder what the consequences are of such a large genome and whether it really matters if one organism has more DNA than another. The answer to this is a resounding "yes, it does", and the consequences operate at all levels from the cell up to the whole organism and beyond. In plants, research has demonstrated that those with large genomes are at greater risk of extinction, are less adapted to living in polluted soils and are less able to tolerate extreme environmental conditions – all highly relevant in today's changing world.'

Business owners are quickly discovering that vehicle wraps and graphics are the most economical, cost effective way to reach customers, no matter what event or business. Compared to traditional forms of advertising- outdoor signs, television, print and radio, vehicle advertising can reach more consumers at lower Cost Per Thousand (CPM) impressions than any other form of outdoor advertising.
While advertising budgets for traditional media have been cut back, companies are still investing in vehicle advertising because they realize all the time that employees spend on the road is a golden opportunity to build their brand. No other form of advertising offers a lower cost per impression than a vehicle wrap.
According to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America:
• More than 95% of Americans are reached by media targeting vehicle drivers and passengers.
• One vehicle wrap can generate between 30,000 - 70,000 impressions daily.
• Fleet vehicle advertising boosts name recognition 15 times greater than any other form of advertising.
• 30% of mobile outdoor viewers indicate they would base a buying decision on the ad they see.
A comparison between vehicle wraps Cost Per Thousand Impressions (CPM) with traditional adverting leaves no doubt about the advantages of going mobile:
• Vehicle wraps cost $.77 per CPM.
• A 30-second prime-time spot in the top 100 television markets cost $17.78 per CPM.
• A 60-second drive-time ad in the top 100 radio markets cost $8.61 per CPM.
• A one-third b/w page ad in the top 100 newspaper markets cost $22.95 per CPM.
• A four-color one-page ad in 23 top magazine publications cost $9.35 per CPM.
• The average for all forms of billboard ads cost $2.18 per CPM.
Here at Kona Printing and Promotions, we are a full-service digital graphic wraps company, and our primary goal is to get you noticed.

A Chunk of Servo Comes to Firefox: Quantum CSS
Subject: General Tech | August 22, 2017 - 10:12 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: mozilla, firefox, servo, Rust
If you're on Firefox Nightly, you are able to enable their new CSS engine with an about:config flag, called layout.css.servo.enabled. For a few years now, Mozilla has been working on a separate rendering engine, aided by Samsung, which was called Servo. Browsers are very single-threaded, so there was a lot of room for improvement, especially on devices that can afford more cores than per-core performance, like mobile. It is also more secure, as its programming language, Rust, is more strict with data accesses than C/C++, which is also great for a web browser.
Eventually, Mozilla decided to, instead of replacing Gecko, replace chunks of it with tech derived from Servo. Up to now, it's been mostly security-related components, like the parsing of untrusted media headers. This one is about speed. I'm curious to see how it feels to our readers. I know that, personally, going from Firefox 54 to Firefox 55 was a significant difference, although that was due to other changes.
If you're interested, download Firefox Nightly. I mean, it's free.
HTC Vive Price Drops to $599
Subject: General Tech | August 22, 2017 - 09:56 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming, vive, htc vive, valve, htc, price cut
While it looked like HTC and Valve wouldn't budge on their launch price, the Vive has just been reduced $200 USD, from $799 down to $599. This is still significantly above the $399 USD price tag during their competitor's summer sale, but it might be close enough for those who prefer the Vive for one reason or another.
I should note that their website still has payment plans through PayPal, which breaks up the $599 price tag into, they say, twelve chunks.
For me? This price cut came just a week and a bit late. I already picked up the Oculus. For us Canadians, it looks like the Vive sale price is $800 CDN on Amazon, versus the $550 mark for the Rift with Touch and two sensors. That said, if I didn't jump on the Oculus... would I consider the Vive? At this price, I'm still not sure. I'm wary of a hardware refresh, now that these devices are hitting the one-and-a-half year mark. The Oculus, during its sale, is priced in the "Meh" territory. It would have served its purpose until it's replaced. The extra couple hundred dollars on the Vive might just push it out of the "eh, if it's replaced, so what" range.
On the other hand, the Vive can be upgraded with a wireless kit, and I do have issues with the Oculus sensors being obstructed. It's an interesting move for sure.
HyperX Announces the Cloud Alpha Headset
Subject: General Tech | August 22, 2017 - 06:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: audio, hyperx, cloud alpha, gaming headset
HyperX have just announced a new headset, the Cloud Alpha, which will be available for purchase on September 25th for $100. The headset sports the standard 50mm neodymium magnets that are expected on a gaming headset however the design of the earcups is different than most on the market. You can see the dual chamber design below.
High and mid-range frequencies are sent directly through the the earcups while bass is directed out towards the edges which should allow finer control over the balance, however the proof will have to wait until we can get our hands on them. The aluminium frame helps keep the weight under 300g while the leatherette ear padding should ensure they are comforatable even after a long session.
The condenser microphone should allow you to be heard clearly when you are gaming or be removed if you don't need it for the moment. The Cloud Alpha will be compatible with any system that accepts a 3.5mm jack, so you will be able to use the headset on all of your devices. Full PR below the glamour shot.

Tagged: wireless headset, VOID PRO RGB, virtual 7.1, gaming headset, corsair, audio
The new Corsair Gaming VOID PRO RGB Wireless 7.1 Gaming Headset is a reasonable $80 and contains a battery which should be good for around 15 hours of usage. As the headset contains two 50mm neodymium drivers, the 7.1 surround sound is virtual and the Guru of 3D found that while it opened up the sound somewhat it was not particularly good at enhancing your situational awareness in games. Thankfully the RGBs are limited to the Corsair logos on the ear cups and not spread across the headband. Drop by for their full review.
You can also see what Sebastian thought of this headset in his recent review.
"Corsair today launches their headsets with a new PRO line of the VOID RGB headsets, we test the wireless version. The Dolby headphone certified VOID comes with updated software as well, and manages to seriously impress me in terms of audio quality and sure, build quality as well."

Subject: General Tech | August 22, 2017 - 01:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nand, bad news
The trend we have seen over 2017 is predicted to continue, with the price of NAND steadily increasing thanks to the limited supply. Over the first two quarters we have seen prices rise between 3-10% and this trend is expected to continue. The two driving factors are the coming launch of a new generation of smartphones from most manufacturers, all of which are purchasing NAND in large volumes as well as Enterprise class SSDs which are starting to see more adoption. At the same time, all manufacturers are seeing an impressive increase in their profitability, even those which are having production issues. You can see the breakdown in the article posted by Trendforce.
"We expect supply to be under strain for the rest of 2017. Relief will come later in 2018, when the manufacturing of 64- and 72-layer 3D-NAND Flash reaches maturity."

Acer Announces Nitro 5 Spin With Intel 8th Generation Processors
Subject: General Tech | August 21, 2017 - 09:03 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: quad core, Intel, gaming laptop, acer, 9th generation core, 2-in-1
Following the reveal of Intel's "8th Generation Core" refreshed Kaby Lake processors, Acer has announced its upcoming 15.6" Nitro 5 Spin convertible gaming laptop. Sporting a black aluminum shell with red accents the Nitro 5 Spin features a 360-degree hinge with multiple locking positions, a backlit keyboard and large trackpad, front firing speakers with a subwoofer, and a large 15.6" IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. Acer claims that the convertible notebook is aimed at casual gaming and the specifications seems to back that up (at least on paper).
Acer has opted for refreshed Kaby Lake processors which means a quad core CPU with HyperThreading at up to 1.9GHz base and 4.2 GHz turbo clocks at the high end with the Intel Core i7-8650U along with Intel "UHD Graphics" which is simply a rebrand of its HD Graphics 620 iGPU. Gamers will be happier to see the inclusion of a dedicated graphics card although it is only a midrange NVIDIA GTX 1050. Storage is handled by a PCI-E SSD up to 512 GB. As far as connectivity goes, the Acer Nitro 5 Spin offers 802.11ac MU-MIMO along with USB 3.0, USB 2.0, SD, HDMI, and a headphone/mic jack.
According to Tech Radar Acer claims that the gaming laptop is rated at up to 10 hours of gaming usage (though that's probably a casual title with brightness all the way down heh).
Surprisingly, the Nitro 5 Spin will be available as soon as October with a starting price of $999 (though the top end i7-8650U plus 512GB SSD option is obviously going to cost a lot more).
Acer did not weigh in on just how heavy the gaming PC is, but if they can keep the weight down it might be a decent PC for college kids to play games on (I mean, uhm, do homework!) and consume media. What do you think, does a convertible gaming notebook make sense?
AMD's HBCC for you and me
Subject: General Tech | August 21, 2017 - 01:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Vega, amd, raja koduri, HBCC
Techgage has posted a look at what AMD's new HBCC feature in Vega is and how it will help you run games faster. HBCC allows your GPU to treat VRAM as a last-level cache, so that a request for data not currently located in VRAM can be pulled into Vega's HBC for immediate access while simultaneously flushing out data which is no longer needed. In addition to describing how the feature functions they also did quite a bit of testing to determine the real world effect of enabling HBCC in games and benchmarks. Drop by for a look.
"AMD's Vega GPU architecture brings many notable features to the table, but the one to find its way into Radeon chief Raja Koduri's heart is HBCC – or "high-bandwidth cache controller". In this article, we're going to take a look at what HBCC is, why it offers no benefit right this moment, and talk about what it could offer in the future."

Ashes of the Singularity: Escalation Vulkan Support Soon
Subject: General Tech | August 19, 2017 - 10:00 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: pc gaming, oxide, Oxide Games, vulkan
Oxide Games has been mentioned all throughout the development of the next-generation graphics APIs, DirectX 12, Mantle, and Vulkan. Their Star Swarm "stress test" was one of the first practical examples of a game that desperately needs to make a lot of draw calls. Also, their rendering algorithm is very different from the other popular game engines, where lighting is performed on the object rather than the screen, which the new APIs help out with.
Currently, Ashes of the Singularity supports DirectX 11 and DirectX 12, but Vulkan will be added soon. Oxide will be pushing the new graphics api in the 2.4 update, bringing increased CPU performance to all OSes but especially Windows 7 and 8 (neither of which support DirectX 12), and a free DLC pack that contains nine co-op maps. They also plan to continue optimizing Ashes of the Singularity for Vulkan in the future.
All of this will be available on Thursday, August 24th.
Fishing for Ice Lake rumours
Subject: General Tech | August 18, 2017 - 01:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: rumours, Intel, ice lake, coffee lake, 9th generation core
It's Friday so why not engage in some speculation with us about Intel's upcoming new chips? We will start off by confusing the issue with a post detailing Intel's naming conventions that The Inquirer found. It would seem that not only is the "Ice Lake processor family is a successor to the 8th generation Intel Core processor family" but it is also described as an ""8th generation Intel Core Processor Family" and available only to early access users. One can only hope that there is a typo in Intel's decoder ring as the current naming schemes are already confusing enough between AMD and Intel without adding more levels of complexity.
That makes the above a little more interesting than unannounced low power parts usually are. AnandTech recently learned of these two new families of 8th gen chips, the i7-8xxx and i5-8xxx, both of which offer double the amount of cores as their 7th gen processors. The base frequencies are lower than the previous generation, perhaps to remain inside the 15W TDP with double the amount of cores, with the turbo frequencies remaining a mystery for now. With the aforementioned confusion, it is possible these could be Ice Lake based, though it is far more likely that they are indeed caffeinated instead.
The final rumour for you to look at this morning is the above screenshot from Chiphell. You will need to zoom and enhance to get the full story, however there are some interesting reveals in the legible parts of the slide. Enjoy.
"More news from Intel this morning, this time published directly on their website. With the upcoming announcement of the 8th Generation Core next week to which Intel has already posted teasers to the media, it would seem that someone at Intel decided to add processor details and pricing into Intel's official Price List today."

Vulkan Renderer for Doom 3 BFG Source Code Published
Subject: General Tech | August 17, 2017 - 09:41 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: id software, vulkan, doom, Doom 3
Over the last few days, Dustin Land of id Software has been publishing commits to his vkDOOM3 GitHub repository. This project, as the name suggests, adds a Vulkan-based renderer to the game, although it's not really designed to replace the default OpenGL implementation. Instead, the project is a learning resource, showing how a full application handles the API.
This is quite interesting for me. While code samples can show you how a chunk of code is used in rough isolation, it's sometimes good to see how it's used in a broader context. For instance, when I was learning Unreal Engine 4, I occasionally searched into the Unreal Tournament repository for whatever I was learning about. Sometimes, things just don't "click" until you see the context, especially when your question starts with "why".
If you're interested, check out the GitHub repo. You will need to own Doom 3 BFG Edition to actually play it, though.
Cooler Master's MasterPulse MH320, bargain or bust?
Subject: General Tech | August 17, 2017 - 01:28 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: audio, cooler master, masterpulse MH320, gaming headset
The MasterPulse MH320 gaming headset is a mere $40 on Amazon right now and TechPowerUp wanted to determine if it was a bargain or not. The specifications are reasonable, 40mm neodymium drivers and a 20-20,000Hz frequency response, a bi-directional microphone and 3.5mm plugs, sans USB. In testing they found spatial positioning to be a weakness, if you depend on audio clues to detect your enemies you will be disappointed but for games which do not require this feature as well as for listening to music the MH320's are a good deal. They were also a big fan of CM utilizing a dual headband design on a budget level headset. For more details head on over and read the full review.
"By releasing the MasterPulse MH320, their least-expensive gaming headset to date, Cooler Master tries to grab the attention of gamers on a very tight budget. Even though it costs a mere $40, it offers a dual-headband design, a foldable bi-directional boom microphone, and a few other interesting features."

NVIDIA's Quadro vDWS creates Tesla powered servers

Tagged: nvidia, pascal, grid, tesla, Quadro vDWS
NVIDIA have updated their GRID virtual PC architecture to allow up to 24 virtual desktops, each with a 1GB desktop, doubling the previous capacity of their virtual machine tool. Along with this increase comes a new service called Quadro vDWS which allows you to power those virtual desktops with one of their HPC cards like their Pascal-based line of Tesla GPU accelerators. For workflows which incorporate things such as VR or photorealism this will offer a significant increase in performance; unfortunately Minesweeper will not see any improvements. NVIDIA accompanied this launch with a new blade server, the Tesla P6 which has 16GB of memory which can be split down to 16 1GB virtual desktops. Drop by The Inquirer for more information including on where to get this new software.
"NVIDIA has announced a new software suite which will allow users to virtualise an operating system to turn the company's ridiculously powerful Tesla GPU servers into powerful workstations."

Well that's not good, VGA RAM prices spike 30%
Subject: General Tech | August 16, 2017 - 12:41 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Samsung, SK Hynix, micron, EVGA G3 850W
DigiTimes is the bearer of bad news for fans of GPUs, as the supply challenges which have marked 2017 are now spreading to GDDR5(x). This month the price has spiked up just over 30% and that trend is going to continue into September and perhaps beyond. This will not have an immediate effect on the MSRPs of graphics cards, not that we would notice due to the price inflation from the current mining craze however it will reduce the margins that NVIDIA and AMD receive from sales. They do not specifically mention AMD in the article, nor HBM2, however the same companies fabricate both so there are likely to be repercussions felt by both technologies. On the positive side, flash storage prices are reported to have stabilized; so we have that going for us.
"August quotes for RAMs used in VGA graphics cards have risen to US$8.50, up by 30.8% from US$6.50 in July. Both RAM industry leaders Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have allocated part of their VGA RAM production capacities to producing memories for servers and handsets, fueling the price rally."

Tagged: patriot, Viper V570 RGB, gaming mouse, RGB
For a $50 mouse, the Patriot Viper V570 RGB has a lot going for it. There are weights you can use to adjust the heft of your rodent, an Avago 9800 sensor which can be adjusted from 800 to 3200 DPI and eight programmable buttons without counting the right, left and scroll wheel. Techgage found the materials used in the mouse felt a little lower quality than other mice but not enough to overly concern them, especially considering the price though Patriot did not skimp on the feet. Check out the full review, including the RGB, over at Techgage.
"Have just 50 bucks to spend on a new gaming mouse, but feel anxious about the features you may have to give up? With its Viper V570 RGB, Patriot has your back. Despite its modest price, the V570 sports a weight system, RGB lighting (as its name suggests), awesome macro support, and even a solid software solution."

A look at Surfacegates past and present
Subject: General Tech | August 14, 2017 - 01:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: surface, microsoft, Skylake
Paul Thurrott has posted a reasoned look at the recent negative rating Consumer Reports have handed the Microsoft Surface and Intel's reaction to it. There were problems with the release of Skylake powered Surface products and Microsoft initially laid the blame fully on Intel; which proved awkward when they conversed with Lenovo about the problems Skylake caused as Lenovo had not had a similar experience. Instead the reliability issues stemmed from Microsoft's drivers and when you break down the issues, most had to do with frozen screens and unresponsive touch interfaces.
Microsoft have since rectified this issue and the new Surface products do not have the same issues as the previous models. There is an interesting bit of speculation in the article about the fallout of this issue, it could be that this was the driving force behind Microsoft's sudden push to have Windows 10 run on ARM processors. For more on that as well as some interesting background on how companies measure the success of their products you should head over to read the full article. At the very least you can bask in the glory of the quote from an internal memo at the beginning of the article, describing your purchase as an "ownership journey with our products".
"Thurrott.com has seen an internal Microsoft memo that indicates that the software giant is readying a broader campaign to undercut this past week's news from Consumer Reports. It also provides greater insight into why Microsoft believes the Consumer Reports recommendations are incorrect."

Why NBC's Wonder Woman Should Seem Much More Familiar…
Is there a word for the opposite of anticipation? Is dread really the word I'm looking for? Whatever the correct term would be for what I'm feeling, Thursday's casting news for NBC's Wonder Woman brought that feeling out in spades. Why isn't anyone else getting DC Comics deja vu about the car crash this project is turning into?
Here's the thing: For a while there, I really wanted to be enthusiastic about David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman. Sure, the script doesn't look that good, but it's being reworked, and there are many shows that have terrible pilots and then turn into pretty good series in the end. Also, I have a love-hate relationship with Kelley's work that left me hoping that, just maybe if Kelley could get over his love affair with whimsical cuteness and letting his politics — which I happen to agree with — overwhelm his writing, something interesting might come out of his attempting to get outside his comfort zone a little with an Amazon warrior princess. And then … and then it turned into Catwoman.
You remember Catwoman, right? 2004 movie starring Halle Berry and Sharon Stone? Complete and utter train wreck that everyone involved, right down to DC Comics themselves, like to pretend never happened?
Consider the evidence: Catwoman's lead, Halle Berry, was considered an unexpected choice for the role who doesn't exactly match the picture most people had in their minds of the character, but nonetheless, someone who wasn't necessarily a bad choice — just like Adrianne Palicki, the lead in Wonder Woman. Catwoman was campy as all get-out, unlike the tone of the comics at the time, and Kelley's Wonder Woman — exec by day, crimefighter by night and a woman who just can't get her love life in order no matter what! — is … well, just the same. And then there's the villain.
I'd be the first person to say that Liz Hurley is no Sharon Stone. For one thing, Liz is known more for her fashion choices than her career choices — although, sure, beyond Basic Instinct and Casino, I'd be hard pressed to remember too many of Sharon's career choices — and for another, at least Sharon can act. But both starring as the villains in their respective projects just seems like stunt casting, the idea of "Let's get these two hot women fighting! There can be a catfight at some point! Awesome!" instead of … well, anything else, like whether or not they make sense for the role or seem credible as über bosses or whatever. Sensationalism over substance.
More than anything else, the casting of Liz Hurley convinces me that Wonder Woman will be cheesy camp, lazily substituting cattiness and familiarity for anything worthy of the character and her history. I've been disappointed by Catwoman before, and don't really need to go through that again with Wonder Woman, you know?

If you use a smartphone, there's a big, open, easy-to-access window on your world for anyone to access and exploit. Until now.
Vysk Communications recently unveiled the QS1 — a protective case that makes it virtually impossible for others to eavesdrop on or capture your conversations.
The case features a proprietary processor that encrypts your calls while also engaging a mechanical device to ensure no one hears what you don't want them to hear. This system also prevents any metadata trail from being created. It puts your cameras and microphones on absolute lockdown and provides for encrypted private texting. And the best part? It works on your iPhone or Samsung smartphone, which means you don't have to learn a new OS or shell out cash for a new phone.
The heart of the QS1 is in a protective case for iPhone 5 and 5S and Samsung Galaxy S5 and S4. When activated, it encrypts voice communications, locks out microphones and the front and rear cameras. The system has two mechanical camera shutters, a jamming system for all microphones, a dedicated 3.5 mm jack for encrypted calling via wired headset and a proprietary encryption processor for secure calling. Encryption takes place at the source, made even more secure with the Vysk Encrypted Privacy Network. The case offers two privacy modes:
- Lockdown Mode blocks cameras and jams microphones.
- Private Call Mode adds telephone covered by a monthly subscription ($9.95).
The monthly subscription lets you speak with other Vysk subscribers in absolute privacy over the Vysk Encrypted Privacy Network. No one – not even Vysk – will know the identity of the caller or the recipient. No data is collected – no phone numbers, call times or content – so there is no data to record. Because nothing is recorded, nothing is at risk. The Vysk QS App – which will be available via the Google Play Store, iTunes or the App Store – will work exclusively with the subscription service to provide access to the Vysk Encrypted Privacy Network.
"Even for those of us who think we have nothing to hide, there are people going to great lengths to listen to your phone conversations to gain access to your confidential information," said Vysk co-founder and CEO Victor Cocchia. "Virtual trespassers — from sophisticated espionage groups to government agencies — can gain access to every word you speak and everything your cameras, texts and microphones reveal, completely unknown to you."
Interested? You can pre-order your device now for $229 at VYSK.com or through enterprise sales channels, with delivery scheduled for early fourth quarter 2014.
Vysk also unveiled the EP1, a stylish, everyday protective case that guards against cyber criminals remotely accessing your camera, photos and texts — to be sold exclusively at Best Buy. Like the company's QS1 case with telephone encryption housed in the case itself, the EP1 starts with a hardware solution that puts your camera on lockdown with a proprietary shutter system that engages at the flick of a switch. With the purchase of the EP1 case, consumers gain access to the exclusive Vysk Privacy Network to send and receive encrypted private texts and use of an encrypted private photo gallery. The Vysk Privacy System also prevents any metadata trail from ever being created.
The EP1 charges your phone, offering 120 percent additional battery power. It also serves as a protective case for iPhone 5/5S and Samsung Galaxy S5. Offering plenty of functionality, the case also boasts great style and will available in gold, blue, black and gunmetal grey. The EP1 will arrive in September 2014 for $129.99.

Dear Valentine,
It's come to my attention that the fabled heart-bedecked day is upon us once more. Coincidentally, my shopping cart gravitates toward dark chocolate at the supermarket, and I smile when I watch that old man place a bouquet of roses on his bicycle before heading home to his love—but I was wondering if we might do something different this year. In the words of my dear J.R.R. Tolkien:
"I'm looking for someone to share in an adventure, and it's very difficult to find anyone."
So will you begin a Valentine journey with me?
I'm sure you've felt it too. In times past generic cards often dotted the difficult years of singleness, which then transitioned toward the relational pressure to become the stars of an effortless Kay Jewelers commercial every February 14. I have to wonder if beneath the stereotypical expectations we might together find something deeper—something more. Because love is far greater than the lace doily our world has wrapped it in.
Remember when we met, how you used to hold my hand for hours over the center consul of the car, rubbing my knuckles and marveling at the shape of my thumb? Three years, two jobs, and one baby later we sometimes have to fight to get back there. Time travel that surpasses the numbness of the mundane has to be deliberate, or it won't happen at all. Love that costs the lover nothing is not worthy of the name, and that's a lesson we learn and learn again.
Hard loving. Loving when it hurts.
I want to re-think this holiday, because love is the very banner under which believers were meant to gather. It's the blood-red grace-mark that's supposed to distinguish Jesus' followers. By love we're called to be known, and if that is true, then I know my rebel's heart will need more than a red rose to train it. Because the other day my spirit cringed ugly when the light gently exposed a rotten branch, drawing attention to the dirty looks I threw at your back when you left coffee grounds in the sink again.
"Love doesn't just sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new." This is the truth that always fights to bridge the gap between us, in those life-heavy moments when our fingers are separated by mere inches but our hearts lie many miles of silence apart.
This year, and the next year, and the next year after that, I want to learn courage, because to love is to be vulnerable—to be brave. God, "show me where my armor ends, show me where my skin begins." Because when we do the Father's love, the real and mighty kind that inhabits deep waters, then that mantle begins to cover not only my soul and yours. The stitches multiply and weave wider until they become a canopy under which the weary may find rest and the lost may be found.
"My song is love unknown, my Savior's love for me. Love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be."
As Christians, love is our weapon; love is light. All the vast array of magnificent deeds that we might do for the kingdom are reduced to naught, unless we have love. The many beautiful words I could weave would be as a mouthful of dry dust if my heart was not broken for the things of this world that beg for God's mercy and compassion. And the revolutionary inventions that your mind and hands can conjure would avail nothing if the code of God's love were not programmed into the marrow of it all.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you terribly, though often not as selflessly as I should. And as the manufactured hype of this holiday approaches, you have my utmost permission to take a deep breath of relief. I have all I really need, and the sight of your soul tuned to God's heart in a hurting world is more romantic to me than a thousand strings of pearls.
You know how much I love wildflowers and fresh tea, and I melt like warm dark chocolate when you leave handwritten notes on my car. These are gifts both beautiful and good that I will always receive with great joy. But when it comes to love, true love, let us never forget the author of the story, the one who gave his son to be an atoning sacrifice for the lost and unworthy whom he refused to un-love. "Dear friends, as God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another."
This day belongs not to the exclusivity of romantic emotion between lovers, nor is it an excuse to fill one day to the brim with thoughts of love only to leave cups dry and empty throughout the rest of the year. Love was not made to be this hollow basin into which we pour an often processed feeling on occasion. Instead it is the very all-purpose all-weather clothing we are called to put on each and every day and that which should proclaim to a broken world who we are and whom we serve.
So here's to you, my Valentine. Do you want to do this adventure with me? It won't always be an effortless quest, and at times this loving will be bitterly painful. But when "love breaks my bones and I laugh" I know that the love of an Almighty God is able to demolish even the strongholds of self, and perhaps if we are broken together beneath the Father's will, then things will come out all right in the end.
Let's keep learning, you and I, and as God perfects our practice and reorders our love, perhaps he will allow us to share this glorious incomparable joy with the others whom he sent his one and only son to die for. It's why we're here, and as we continue our together-journey, let us sow the small acts of kindness and love that keep the darkness at bay.
All My Love,
Your Valentine
