Hi Guys,
Any chance we can get the Aion 1.9 patch available for download here?
Don't want to waste 3GB+ patching it

I've just installed it. NCSoft launcher still tried to update from 1.5-1.9, the solution to this is to change the version.ini version from 22.214.171.124 to 188.8.131.52
Of course, this leaves 220.127.116.11 to be downloaded which is an extra 300mb.

A copy of the full client install is now available also...
Is it possible for Node to host a copy of this?

I'm hoping they enable a free trial for this game at some point. I've watched a few videos and really like the graphics and combat system.
I've heard it turns into a massive grind, but with this 1.9 patch and 2.0 on the horizon, here's hoping it doesn't become such an issue.

Still easily one of the greatest games ever created. Just had to throw that in there. |
4 days 22 hours ago | Yea I live in Montgomery which is the capital city. |
Its about a hour away from Birmingham. As everyone knows football is king and religious down here. They take this stuff way to serious and use excuses like, "Its just to much Bama in me." There's not a lot of entertainment down here and that's putting it lightly. There's no pro teams so all they have is "roll tide" or "war eagle". That's why horrible senseless things like this can happen. The kicker and his family are also getting death threats. |
6 days 21 hours ago | Go kick |
rocks up the highway man. Your not need here. |
6 days 22 hours ago | Don't forget the holding call on the long kick return. |
Deveon pancakes a guy and they called it holding. His hands were inside and he just drove him into the ground. Matter of fact, the ohio player actually pulled Deveon down onto him. DG's knee was definitely down. Frank Clarck's penalty was straight trash. And ohio's "great" o line was fucking holding the ends all day long. |
1 week 3 hours ago | DG balled the fuck out today. |
Can't wait to see the leap he takes next year. |

2 weeks 21 hours ago | Great finish! |
A lot of guys stepped up in clutch situations but Nik was phenomenal in the second half. This team is going to be very good as they continue to gel this season. The MVP of the game for me was the 1-3-1 zone. It really saved us and we wouldn't have had a chance without it. Florida St. is very long and athletic and we couldn't do anything with them 1-on-1. Great strategy by coach B down the stretch. |
2 weeks 1 day ago | Mitch goes |

Your Investment. Your Library. Your Community.
Expanded Kirkland Library Opens!
As community members gathered for the celebration, the Lake Washington High School Jazz Ensemble entertained the crowd with several songs. KCLS Director Bill Ptacek then welcomed everyone to the ribbon cutting and open house. "It is with your support that we are able to bring these library improvements," Bill Ptacek said to the crowd. The city is very fortunate to be part of the King County Library System, said Kirkland Mayor James Lauinger. "This is the best-looking library I've seen," James Lauinger said. "Thanks for bringing our library back, better than before." The Kirkland Library was expanded by 4,500 square feet. The additional square footage extends the roof from the original building and culminates in a glass pavilion overlooking the city's Peter Kirk Park. KCLS Board of Trustee members Richard Eadie and Jim Wigfall addressed the crowd. Board President Jessica Bonebright also was present. "Just adding a few thousand square feet has made a big difference," Jim Wigfall said. Once the doors officially opened, people were invited inside to tour the library and enjoy refreshments, including cookies provided by the Friends of the Library of Kirklandand cupcakes donated by Sweet Cakes. Free kettle corn was offered outside the library and giveaways included coloring books, book marks and ornaments with seeded paper that grow wildflowers when planted. |

I felt a stabbing pain when I saw the headline (A Threat to Global Recovery: Too Many Factories), and it got worse when I saw the name of the publication (Time). Call me skeptical, but I think mainstream journalists understand manufacturing as well as politicians do.
I went ahead and read the article anyway, and it turned out to be solid.

Before they earned Michelin Stars or hosted TV shows, here's how 11 famous food personalities kicked off their culinary careers
Whether it's fast-food purgatory or a brainless post on the retail frontlines, your first job tends to be a not-so-glamorous introduction to the working world. While the source of your first paycheck probably isn't occupying prime space on your resume, for some it's an unlikely start on a winding career path, especially if it's your passion. For many of the biggest chefs in the country, their first kitchen jobs got them hooked. Whether it was through entrepreneurial endeavors, such as Guy Fieri's childhood pretzel stand (pictured), or by accident, here are the stories of how 11 culinary superstars entered the ring.

(Continued on Next Page) Based on the facts and exhibits presented, the Property Tax Appeal Board hereby finds no change in the assessment of the property as established by the DuPage County Board of Review is warranted. The correct assessed valuation of the property is: LAND: $ 50,200 IMPR.: $ 233,610 TOTAL: $ 283,810 Subject only to the State multiplier as applicable. PTAB/eeb/May.09/2006-02025 1 of 4 PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION APPELLANT: Dr. Michael Easley DOCKET NO.: 06-02025.001-R-1 PARCEL NO.: 06-11-417-015 The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are Dr. Michael Easley, the appellant, by attorney Whitney T. Carlisle of McCracken, Walsh & de LaVan in Chicago, and the DuPage County Board of Review. The subject property consists of a two-story style brick and frame dwelling built in 2005 that contains 3,554 square feet of living area. Features of the home include central air-conditioning, one fireplace, a two-car attached garage and a full unfinished basement. The appellant, through counsel, appeared before the Property Tax Appeal Board claiming unequal treatment in the assessment process as the basis of the appeal for the subject's improvement. In support of this argument, the appellant submitted a grid analysis of 18 frame, brick and stone, frame and stone, or masonry comparable properties. The comparables consist of dwellings that were built from 1998 to 2005 and range in size from 2,989 to 4,477 square feet of living area. Limited information provided by the appellant depicts that three of the comparables have one or three fireplaces, and one has central air-conditioning. As to all 18 comparables, each has a basement, and each has a two-car or three-car garage. The properties were located in the same neighborhood code as the subject as assigned by the local assessor. The properties have improvement assessments ranging from $176,280 to $280,170 or from $51.11 to $62.62 per square foot of living area. The subject has an improvement assessment of $233,610 or $65.73 per square foot of living area. Based on this evidence, the appellant requested a reduction in the subject's assessment. The board of review submitted its "Board of Review Notes on Appeal" wherein the subject's total assessment of $283,810 was disclosed. In support of the subject's improvement assessment, the board of review submitted property record cards and a grid analysis of five comparable properties located in the same Docket No.: 06-02025.001-R-1 2 of 4 neighborhood code as the subject, as assigned by the local assessor. The comparables consist of two-story style brick, masonry or stone dwellings that were each built in 2005 and range in size from 3,285 to 3,354 square feet of living area. Features of the comparables include central air-conditioning and basements ranging from 1,462 to 1,917 square feet, with one comparable having a finished basement. Four of the properties have at least one fireplace, and each has a two-car garage. These properties have improvement assessments ranging from $215,220 to $246,930 or from $65.48 to $74.18 per square foot of living area. The board of review reported market value data for the comparables as well as the subject based on its March 2005 purchase price. Based on this evidence the board of review, at hearing, requested the subject's assessment be increased. After hearing the testimony and considering the evidence, the Property Tax Appeal Board finds that it has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of this appeal. The Property Tax Appeal Board further finds that a reduction in the subject's assessment is not warranted. The appellant's argument was unequal treatment in the assessment process. The Illinois Supreme Court has held that taxpayers who object to an assessment on the basis of lack of uniformity bear the burden of proving the disparity of assessment valuations by clear and convincing evidence. Kankakee County Board of Review v. Property Tax Appeal Board, 131 Ill.2d 1 (1989). The evidence must demonstrate a consistent pattern of assessment inequities within the assessment jurisdiction. After an analysis of the assessment data, the Board finds the appellant has not overcome this burden. The Board finds the parties submitted 23 comparables for its consideration. The Property Tax Appeal Board gave less weight to the appellant's comparables #3, #5, #8, #9, #11, #12, #15, #16 and #18 because they were dissimilar in design, size, exterior construction and/or age when compared to the subject. The Board finds the remaining comparables submitted by both parties were generally similar to the subject in most respects. These most representative comparables had improvement assessments ranging from $55.06 to $74.18 per square foot of living area, which supports the subject's improvement assessment of $65.73 per square foot. After considering adjustments and the differences in both parties' suggested comparables when compared to the subject property, the Board finds the subject's per square foot improvement assessment is supported by the most comparable properties contained in the record and a reduction in the subject's assessment is not warranted. As a result of this analysis, the Property Tax Appeal Board finds the appellant has not adequately demonstrated that the subject dwelling was inequitably assessed by clear and convincing evidence and a reduction is not warranted. Further, the Property Tax Appeal Board finds that an increase in the subject's assessment is not justified based on the equity argument and evidence presented by both parties. The Board gave no weight to Docket No.: 06-02025.001-R-1 3 of 4 the market value evidence presented by the board of review, because it did not address the appellant's equity argument. The constitutional provision for uniformity of taxation and valuation does not require mathematical equality. The requirement is satisfied if the intent is evident to adjust the burden with a reasonable degree of uniformity and if such is the effect of the statute enacted by the General Assembly establishing the method of assessing real property in its general operation. A practical uniformity, rather than an absolute one, is the test. Apex Motor Fuel Co. v. Barrett, 20 Ill.2d 395 (1960). Although the comparables presented by the parties disclosed that properties located in the same area are not assessed at identical levels, all that the constitution requires is a practical uniformity, which appears to exist on the basis of the evidence. In conclusion, the Board finds the appellant failed to establish unequal treatment in the assessment process by clear and convincing evidence and the subject property's assessment as established by the board of review is correct. This is a final administrative decision of the Property Tax Appeal Board which is subject to review in the Circuit Court or Appellate Court under the provisions of the Administrative Review Law (735 ILCS 5/3-101 et seq.) and section 16-195 of the Property Tax Code. Chairman Member Member Member Member DISSENTING: Docket No.: 06-02025.001-R-1 4 of 4 C E R T I F I C A T I O N As Clerk of the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board and the keeper of the Records thereof, I do hereby certify that the foregoing is a true, full and complete Final Administrative Decision of the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board issued this date in the above entitled appeal, now of record in this said office. Date: June 19, 2009 Clerk of the Property Tax Appeal Board IMPORTANT NOTICE Section 16-185 of the Property Tax Code provides in part: "If the Property Tax Appeal Board renders a decision lowering the assessment of a particular parcel after the deadline for filing complaints with the Board of Review or after adjournment of the session of the Board of Review at which assessments for the subsequent year are being considered, the taxpayer may, within 30 days after the date of written notice of the Property Tax Appeal Board's decision, appeal the assessment for the subsequent year directly to the Property Tax Appeal Board." In order to comply with the above provision, YOU MUST FILE A PETITION AND EVIDENCE WITH THE PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE ENCLOSED DECISION IN ORDER TO APPEAL THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPERTY FOR THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR. Based upon the issuance of a lowered assessment by the Property Tax Appeal Board, the refund of paid property taxes is the responsibility of your County Treasurer. Please contact that office with any questions you may have regarding the refund of paid property taxes.

Restaurant Ducroix
Online Reservations
Great food with a relaxed atmosphere. They have some really good French wines that are hard to find elsewhere. We had the lobster special and could not get enough! Always happy with the escargots. Everything else we tasted was amazing . . . Cassoulet, Seabass, special filet with pate . . . can't wait for my next meal there.
Love Restaurant Ducroix. I feel as if I am in France: really good food and wine without the trappings of American restaurant decor. Prices are very reasonable; the emphasis is on the food and the service is delightful. It really is a find in a neighborhood that has some very expensive restaurants and some lower end ones, but few that focus on good french bistro food at good prices. We had a great evening there.
Food was awesome. But service was really bad. Took the server about an hour and half for us to just order. Ordered a salad but it never arrived.
Food was great! Small and unassuming little restaurant with great French food :)
As visitors to SF a local recommended Ducroix. We went for business lunch and found it to be a solid winner. Food is interesting with excellent preparation. Everyone in our group enjoyed their selection. We liked it so much we returned for dinner one evening. Even though we ordered what seemed to be simple dishes ( Risotto with side orders of vegetables and salads), we found everything we superbly prepared... these folks deliver great food. The café is small and simple, but don't be surprised to find it growing quickly as it is a real find. One final note: they are truly thoughtful folks: I left my credit card behind and they quickly found my cell phone number on the reservation, alerting me while I was still in the area.A real Gem!
Overall I enjoy going to this restaurant. It is small, so they only have person taking orders. This person can get a little overwhelmed between taking your order and getting you tab. I would still recommend the restaurant. Just be patient.
I've always enjoyed this restaurant. I love the French food that is pretty authentic. I've confirmed this with my French/European friends. It's a great place to meet friends for lunch or dinner. And I love that it's not in the heart of the French district (ie Bush St) because I'm not competing with the tourists and local FiDi folks! My favorite lunch is their Salade Nicoise...although I wish it were prepared the old-fashioned way with the cooked tuna, not the ahi. I know a lightly seared tuna is popular, but there is something nostalgic the old way which makes it more authentic. Most French restaurants don't make it the traditional way anymore. But I still love the place.
Lunched here earlier in the week. Very simple but pure French food. Friendly and attentive service. I had the salmon with a gratin potato in a green salad. Excellent and fairly priced. I'll be back for more!
Right on the border of chinatown in a building that doesn't look like much, this was a great find for a few friends looking for a quiet meal out. Sipped red wine and ate terrific classic french dishes, with friendly and knowledgeable service.
I went to Decroix for the first time for my 30th Birthday last Saturday. Wow! A hidden gem in the middle of China town! The place is really quaint, and I knew I was in for a delicious meal as soon as I entered because everything coming out of the kitchen smelled amazing. Not too many patrons inside on a Saturday night which is a shame because this place is absolutely worth checking out. A truly special and secret little place you would never expect to find in the neighborhood. Also, If by chance you're looking for a cute place to take some one out on a date, this would be a perfect destination. Waitstaff was very professional and polite, over all excellent experience. Can't wait to go back!
My group and I were blown away with the unbelievably fabulous fresh, unfussy, delicious food! I have already shared my experience with a number of friends. I'm afraid the location can be a detriment, only because there is not a lot of foot traffic after the work day and people leave the area (borders Financial Center and Chinatown). I will definitely go back! Highly recommend.
I have dragged quite a few of my (mostly americans) co-workers there and it was always a hit. The only thing is that it is quite expensive for an everyday lunch. Having said that, I still think it is totally worth it. Not a lot of tables but it is usually packed for lunch and they could probably not handle more without more people waiting tables. They have all the classic French food items (and for me comfort food). I have tried the blanquette, the filet Rossini, the boeuf Bourguignon and a few others and was always extremely happy with the quality. Only the wait could make me double think if I should go there, but that's another French concept: a long lunch break of 2 hours...
The caramelized pear, brie and endive salad is fantastic. Excellent food but pricey. The restaurant could use some sprucing up.
This is real hand made, cooked to order food. Fantastic ambience.
We love this new lunch place in the FiDi. The Croque Madame is as if you're in France.
First of all the service was outstanding. Super attentive, friendly , and helpful. At one point the waiter even walked outside to help my friend find parking. The food was amazing. I can still taste the lamb shank with blueberries two days later. It's a bit pricey but if you love great food this is the spot to be.
Everything I ever wanted it to be and so much more. Our sever Phillip, was perfect, attentive to details, experienced, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The food was everything you want from real, quality, french cooking, the sauces divine, the meats cooked to perfection, the wine pairing sublime. I would recommend this place to anyone who wanted amazing food at a bargain price, I could not believe this place was not crawling on a Friday night. We will be back!
The waiter was attentive, the food great -especially the Seabass. Loved the tappenade & baguette before dinner.
a great place to have an excellent dinner and be able to have a conversation with your fellow diners. Off the beaten path but what a great find. The service and food were excellent.
This small, charming spot is as warm as someone's home and as good as any restaurant in the city. The environment is cozy and unassuming while the food and service are outstanding. This little gem is a hidden treasure on the edge of the financial district that's well worth searching out.
Food was great, wine list is short but selectoon is good - French and Californian Service - I like their style, good pace with appropriate pauses.
We had one night in SFO and had eaten at all the known hotspots already. We were ready for something out of the spotlight. We tried Restaurant Ducroix and had a reservation on the early side. Very quaint and warm vibe. Server was very attentive. Was a big help with the wine choice. Food was very good and we left knowing we'd be back. By the time we left the place was full and it was obvious a favorite with the locals.
It was an absolute joy finding Ducroix seemingly hiding in plain site - terrific French inspired menu with surf, turf, and many creative vegetarian options. Two of us dined on a Tuesday evening and the scene was relatively quiet, with less than half of the tables occupied. We both ordered fish entrees - sea bass and salmon, and both were cooked to perfection. Our waiter recommended a Beaujolais to pair with our dinner- delicious. We passed on dessert, though the offerings were very tempting. We'll be back!
Food great but staff seemed a bit overwhelmed At times. Had to ask for bread bowl twice along with water. Escargot didn't seem as perfect as it usually is. Risotto was amazing As were the profiteroles for dessert.
I have been to Ducroix several times now and I am always pleased with their excellent food and fine service. It is a great place to have lunch with friends. The only thing I noticed this time was that the noise level has gone up a bit and it was difficult to hear the conversation. Otherwise, a great experience!
We had a 5:30 pm reservation for 8 on a Monday night. It was a pleasure to be able to hold conversations without shouting. The French onion soup was delicious as was the trout with almonds. Nice selection of desserts that all enjoyed including chocolate mousse, profiteroles, poached pear, and creme brûlée. Overall, a wonderful experience.

High drama in the John Edwards trial former aide Matthew Nelson expected to retake the witness stand today.
An explosive testimony just 24 hours ago he described an emotional argument that he witnessed.
Between the then presidential candidate and his wife Elizabeth.
Mocking him for his affair with real hunter.
He said.
Edwards of those pawing at her husband and a car saying quote.
Is this what you're doing in the car in New York City.
Our Jonathan -- -- live in Greensboro, North Carolina and of course Elizabeth Edwards has passed away very very painful for her kids in the courtroom to hear.
In fact one of the left yesterday.
-- yeah that's right edwards' eldest daughter Kate who is an attorney and is actually been advising.
Her father throughout the trial at one point she got up left in tears was visibly upset and this occurred.
During testimony from another former.
Edwards staffer Christina Reynolds she was just beginning to describe an argument between John and Elizabeth Edwards in a private aircraft hangar.
During that argument she says the breast cancer patient hold her blouse off exposing your chest were husband and scream quote you don't see me anymore.
John Edwards reportedly called a doctor to ask for help and then proceeded.
-- his charter flight and went on to a campaign stop in South Carolina Herrera.
Well at what point in the testimony Jonathan I've been reading about this today as senior campaign staffer.
Was said to be concerned that in fact the whole team was concerned about what that lover -- hunter would ever say if reporters approached her.
Hey that's right and Josh Brohm Berger said that he was concerned about real hunter even before.
Suspicions arose about the affair from the get go she seemed a very aggressively approached John Edwards suddenly she's hired by the campaign.
As a video -- refer and so he says that he search for her name on Google and quote.
What I found online was pretty much sex drugs rock and roll and astrology.
-- Berger said hunters Katy -- Murphy skills were quote shoddy and unprofessional.
The prosecution played some samples of her work to the jury the video appeared to shaken at times was out of focus Harris.
Right Jonathan we'll have a legal panel joining us a little bit later last some some.
Interesting questions about this thank you very much good to see you.

The second eldest son of rap icon Snoop Dogg, Cordell Broadus has been offered a football scholarship to UCLA! If he accepts, he could join Diddy's son, Justin Combs, on the team.
As reported by Yahoo Sports, UCLA's Football program has taken a keen interest in the talented offspring of celebrities. Snoop Dogg's son, Cordell Broadus, has become the latest celeb kid to get a scholarship offer. Just a few months ago Diddy's son, Justin Combs, accepted his offer to UCLA and will be suiting up next season.
Combs is expected to play at defensive back for the Bruins, so it's even possible (though highly unlikely) that the Bruins could use both the son of P-Diddy and Snoop Dogg in the same defensive backfield come fall 2015.
Regardless of the younger Broadus' potential, it's hard not to feel that Mora Jr. may be offering him a scholarship at least in large part for PR benefits. Read More »

Click here, scroll down to page 8 and take a look at all that Randy Oliver accomplished while here in Peoria.
When former City Manager Oliver was hired, his skills and personality aligned with the needs of the City at that time. Over the last two years, Surprise has undergone many dramatic changes and felt the economic downturn that has impacted communities nationwide. As the City has gone through these growing pains, the focus and direction of the City has changed as well. Mr. Oliver has provided adequate service during much of this time period, but our City needs to move in a different direction.
When asked why he's leaving, he responded by saying, "I have other things I want to do." When asked "what other things," he said "consulting."
Upon exiting the Greenville South Carolina gig:
"I was never asked to resign," he said. "I was terminated from a technical point of view from Lee County…Frankly, probably, the majority of the board – I'm sure the majority of the board in Lee county – would like to have me back," he said.

I am very happy with the bike. The directions were confusing when it came to the training wheels but I got it figured out after some trial and error. As mentioned in other comments, the shield on the front comes with the sticker on it and there are little bubbles all over it. I was too tired to let it bother me too much and my son never noticed it. I have never noticed it again either. Fun bike. Very easy for him to ride. I am happy because he is very happy! I would have given it 5 stars but the sticker on the shield (which I tied on with a black shoe lace because the tie broke when I was putting it on ... you wouldn't know it thought) and the directions are not perfect. Had I bought it assembled I would have given it 5 stars.

My 3 year old son saw this bike on line and immediately said "that is the bike I want santa to bring me". So of course santa ordered it that week. Unfortunately none of our local Toys R Us stores carried the bike and this is when our Journey started. When the first bike arrived the shield for the front was a sticker placed on a thick plastic, unfortunately it was carelessly applied and had 100's of bubbles underneath the sticker. It would have been impossible to get them all out. It also states on the website that the seat is a quick release and it was not. I called customer service and he advised me to take it back to our local store, get a store credit and re-order the bike so it will arrive before Christmas. So I did. The second bike arrived. Once again problems with no quick release and now Huffy changed the shield to a flimsy plastic with a printed spider man symbol on the front. The plastic was so flimsy and packed wrong so when it arrived it had 2 holes pierced thru it and multiple white scratches all over it. So once again I called customer service and waited 30 minutes on hold to get a hold of someone. Corrie answered and understood my frustration and shipped another bike to my house immediately. The third bike arrived this time with no shield at all and still no quick release seat as stated on the website. Needless to say santa has no more time to wait for another bike. So my 3 year old will be disappointed that santa did not bring him the correct bike. I am very disappointed in Huffy.

I bought this bike for my son's 4th birthday. He loves the bike.I really recommend this product for any kid who likes Spider Man
Cute bike with easy assembly
By Bluehen
from Holly Springs, NC
We gave this bike to my son for his birthday. He loves it. My husband put it together and said it was pretty simple to assemble. My son has been riding the bike for only a few days now but it seems sturdy and easy for him to control. The fact that it is Spiderman is the best. The only negative for this product was the price.
Cheap frills disguise good solid bike
By W.O. Nana
from West Orange, NJ
I purchased this bike for my 3 year old grandson. I was looking for something sturdy, that would stand up to rough use, but for this 3 year old, "cool" is also a factor. He loves it! The size is perfect for him, but he will likely move to a 16" wheel by next summer. I was willing to invest a bit more in the short term so he could ride it now, and figured that with a younger brother, it was worth the investment in a quality bike that could be passed down. I am very pleased with the quality of the bike's construction, however the Spider Man frills, the cool factor, will probably break in no time. I would prefer a bike of similar quality with a "cool" paint job and something dual use and detachable on the handle bars - a carrying case for small toys, for example.

Hard for my 3 year old
By Casey
from Orlando, FL
Bought this for my 3 year old sons birthday. He has mastered his tricycle and outgrown it. He has a hard time with these pedals/brakes. He constantly pedals backwards and initiates the brakes. I am sure he will grow into it.
Awesome bike!
By Connor the Destroyer!!!
from Santa Rosa, Ca
This bike has turned out to be great for our 3 year old. He is just learning to ride and is a taller kid so it fits him well. It's sturdy on its training wheels so he isn't feeling insecure about being on it. He loves the look and the price was great.
Completely happy with this purchase
By Grandmom
from Bellmawr, NJ
This bike was a birthday gift for my 4 year old granddaughter who loves Spiderman. She rides it every day. It is sturdy and easy to ride and a perfect bike for her age.

A nice little OC on this card and you have a gtx 480 - with less heat, noise and power consumption damn nvidia for not releasing a card that could drive prices down >.< PS - I always try to digg the reviews wizz but more users here need digg accounts to get these into the tech front page - CMON tpu its really easy to register at digg!
does a card that's about 3% faster out of the box compared to the stock version for 25% more cost really warrant a 8.6? I would have said 7.0 myself! but then again I'm cheap!
True and I love that card but a slight voltage adjustment on a 480 gtx and it would kill this card. Trust me it would and with the right fan profile not get hot or loud.
It appears to me after owning 4x 5870 anything after 900 core 1300 ram seems to make very little difference in performance, it is like the gpu has reached it's max. The voltage need doesn't seem worth the performance gain.You might see 7 more frames at 1000 core if that. That is a credit to AMD because they made a very efficient gpu. That can be run near it's max potential with low heat and power consumption.
Reason's I want this to be my next card: Backplate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a side window and no blackplate is a no no. It will use all the pins on my power connectors, right now I have them bent up at funny angles. That side logo. I actually do play gta and it seems to want over 1.6 GBs of memory. The fact that with a voltage bumped overclock it can match the 480's overall performance while using less power and producing less heat. Yeah 3/5 of those are cosmetic reasons, so what. My only reservation is it seems every other ati driver release sucks balls.
Oh great, it consumes alot more power and provides 2% better performance! That along with the need for 2x8pin!!! OMG MUST HAVE ONE!!! /sarcasm.
If those things are important to you those are good reasons. However, if power consumption is not a issue and you have good cooling, or adjust the fan to a good fan profile, a regular 480 gtx with a very slight voltage bump and a very small overclock, at say 750/1500/1040, will kick it's butt into next Sunday. Also when it comes to looks the 480 gtx and it's heat pipes are very good looking. still this 5870 does have it's pluses as-well.
overclock overclock overclock overclock = no! whys it a big disappointment. 2 gigs = draw-up draw-up draw-up draw-up = yes! That's the point ppl always assume its gonna clock super high. Spoiler alert for the future no other 5000 will go much higher than its stock. 2 gigs = draw not speed. Its like any other ram dont assume just cause u got more of it and it cost more its faster. Quantity of ram is how many proggys u can hold up at once before you see hat drop in performance. X6 vs X2 The 6 isnt suspose to be faster u get to do more at once tho. We cant also assume just cause theres more ram the GPU clock will go up. IE no fog and being able to see 2 ppl fighting in high detail even tho they are just tiny specs across town at the same speed as 1gig. But there is no such thing as a frames @ distance test jut AA ect. For what it does it shouldn't be an 8. Many people will buy this card because they KNOW what it does. Unfortunately no one ever test what it does. He also had to use the real clocking software.
Hmm...119 FPS at 1200 resolution, I get 130-180 FPS at 1080p ...But, then again my 5850 is crossfired and flashed at 900/1250 at stock voltages I love that reminder
I like the looks of the PCB the most, wouldn't mind owning 1GB 5850 Matrix (well ASUS 5850 DirectCU is almost it) Backplate is also very nice, like the led too and don't hate the cooler. Price is just double too much I just want to slap an after market cooler to this and fill all the rest with ramsinks Sure wish they'd sell tray GPUs..
does the lack of improvement with an extra gig of memory have anything to do with the fact its on a 256bit bus?
I would hope to easily get 1ghz with that for its price This cards performance i would give it a 7.2 but for this cards look and logo 9!

Cross-browser Internet applications with OpenLaszlo
Long before Ajax hit the scene, Flash gave developers a basis for designing interactive web content. The OpenLaszlo framework, with its easy-to-learn command syntax, is the foundation on which many Flash applications build.
Flash does not have many friends among the open standard lobby on the Internet. This said, if you have no objection to using the closedsource Flashplayer, the OpenLaszlo framework offers a powerful, easy-to-use platform for interactive Internet applications with sophisticated graphics. OpenLaszlo creates Flash bytecode based on an XML language that uses HTML-style tags for interface design and plain Javascript for the client-side application logic. Flashplayer 7 for Linux (which has been around for a while) is all you need to run the applications without restrictions.
The early preview of OpenLaszlo version 4 can convert applications to Ajax code, and thus do without proprietary technology. However, this does not work for the full feature set, and thus far, only Firefox/ Mozilla and Internet Explorer 6 have been able to render OpenLaszlo DHMTL applications reliably.

I thought the team looked really good. We just need to learn how to finish out a ballgame. Listen folks- Larry can't instill mental toughness in less than 2 years. He needs at least one or two more years, then we can fairly evaluate the state of the program. I was proud of the way our boys battled out there!!
Fans need to give Larry a break. Besides- who are else are we going to be able to hire that can do better than Larry? Given the resources and fan support, we should be thrilled to have Larry on our side. Invest more in the program. Yes that includes fans! The fans need to buy tickets and show up to the game. You should have heard the defeatist attitude of the "fans" around me in the 4th quarter. It was embarrassing.
Good things are on the horizon. Memphis fans need to be patient, and Larry will deliver us to the promised land in the next 2 years!!!!

SYRACUSE -- As students finish up the semester at Syracuse University. reports of the H1N1 "swine flu" continue to emerge around the world and there are suspected cases across Central New York.
The university has mobilized its standing pandemic flu preparedness task force, which was originally created to deal with bird flu. The school now has an informational website as it closely monitors all the latest developments with swine flu, although there are no cases at Syracuse University right now.
Students like Ryan Campbell feel SU is really keeping them in the loop. "They're handling it really well," Campbell says. "Keep us up to date with emails."
According to a spokesperson, the university is in regular contact with the Onondaga County Health Department. The school does have an "Orange Alert" text message system for emergencies. Officials aren't sure if they will need to use it for swine flu.

The town of Fife, Wash., was once a sleepy farming town, but over the years it has prospered into a bustling community offering a high quality of life. Now a hub for industrial and retail opportunities, many are attracted to the community. Located perfectly between Seattle and Tacoma, residents of Fife have the amenities of a metropolitan area without the hustle and bustle of living in one. Situated near Interstate 5, Fife provides residents with convenient access to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Port of Tacoma and on the edges of Pierce and King Counties. The centrally located community is family friendly with welcoming citizens and stunning scenery.
Fife apartments for rent are perfect for someone seeking a laidback atmosphere in a growing community. This could be one reason why the population of Fife has spiked in the past two decades. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the population was less than 5,000 residents in 1990, but is now more than 9,200 people.
The first settlers in Pierce County were among the Nisqually, Puyallup, Squaxin, Steilacoom, and Muckleshoot tribes. They settled in the area because of the abundant food sources and many lakes and rivers. Pierce County was created after officials believed that Thurston County was far too large and needed to be divided into smaller counties. It was then that Pierce, King and Jefferson counties were created.
During the late 1800s, the lumber industry caused a boom in growth in the county, and many towns were founded because settlers opened up their own sawmills. However, during the depression of 1893, many Tacoma banks closed and William Fife, who was able to grow his fortune in the area, went bankrupt and fled the area. The prominent Tacoma lawyer was the head of the Washington National Guard, and was a Lieutenant Colonel in the field during the Philippine Insurrection.
Fife, named after him, was founded in 1957, and spans roughly 5.7 square miles between the Puyallup River and Puget Sound.
Centrally located Fife is an ideal place for students and workers. Since they have the opportunities available in Seattle and Tacoma at their fingertips, the options are virtually endless. Students living in apartments in Fife may attend school at Bates Technical College, Tacoma Community College, Green River Community College and City University of Seattle.
Some of the top local employers in nearby Tacoma include Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Multicare Health System, Franciscan Health System, Pierce County Government and Emerald Queen Casino. In Seattle, the top employers include Boeing, Microsoft, the University of Washington and Amazon.
Considering the scenic community and close proximity to both Seattle and Tacoma, the cost of living in Fife is relatively affordable. According to Best Places, the overall cost of living is 11 points higher than the national average, food is 8 points higher and utilities are 9 points lower. The average cost of rentals in Fife is fairly inexpensive, although it depends on the location and amenities one is looking for. According to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the monthly median gross rent is $881.
One of the most beloved attractions in Fife is the annual Harvest Festival. Since 2005, the festival has grown into the biggest community celebration with an estimated 5,000 visitors each year. The free event boasts a kid's zone, live performances and countless art, craft and food vendors.
Another community event is the Walt's Family Car Show. This free event displays unique cars old and new. Awards are given out to some of the best cars at the show and the family-friendly event is a unique one in the community.
