GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - The motions hearing for a re-trial for convicted murderer Michael Blagg continues Wednesday.
So far, a witness for the defense has testified and showed the court where exactly where juror Marilyn Charleswoth sat during the trial. Blagg's defense says Charlesworth had a vision problem she didn't disclose during the trial where Blagg was convicted of murding his wife Jennifer. The defense says Blagg's trial was unfair.
The defense also tried to enter into evidence nearly 150 DVDs of the original recording of the case, to which Judge Bottger said, "There is not a chance in the world that I am going to watch exhibit BB."
The prosecution has called an opthamologist who had seen Charlesworth over the years. He called her vision "good" and "functional," even commenting that he wouldn't be surprised if there were other jurors with "even worse vision" than hers.
11 News is in the courtroom and will have the latest information as it becomes available.

Denver (AP) New unemployment figures for Colorado come out this morning, and officials are bracing for more bad news.
The state jobless figure from January is expected to be higher than it was in December, when the 6.1 percent unemployment rate was a five-year high.
Colorado is still better off than many states. A national unemployment figure out last week climbed to a quarter-century peak of 8.1 percent. Some 12.5 million people across the country are searching for work - more than the population of the entire state of Pennsylvania. Millions more have seen their hours, wages and benefits cut.

Arl. Martin defensive end drawing eyes, comparisons: Martin coach Bob Wager called defensive end Myles Garrett (pictured), who's been scouted by Nick Saban, Les Miles, Kevin Sumlin, Mack Brown and Art Briles, the most sought-after recruit during his tenure. That speaks volumes, considering the big-time talent the school has produced in recent years, including last year's Associated Press Big 12 defensive player of the year, TCU sophomore-to-be defensive end Devonte Fields. Wager said Garrett (6-5, 250) "looks like an NFL football player walking down our hallways. "He has more moments now where he's unblockable."

Fantastic work, Maria & Allen Salceda, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, for recently earning the Power Builder Watch! Primerica reps receive this recognition when they earn at least $50,000* in income and add a minimum of 50 people to their team within a single 12-month period.
*As of June 2015. From January 1 through December 31, 2014, Primerica Canada paid a total of $108,086,308 in compensation to its sales force, at an average of $10,599 per licensed representative. Average RVP earnings are typically higher. Actual gross cash flow is, among other factors, dependent upon the size and scale of a representative's organization, the number of sales and the override spread on each sale, and the ability and efforts of you and your downlines. Having said this, Primerica provides a tremendous opportunity for individuals who work hard and who desire to develop a business with strong income potential. 15PFS389

My '96 camry stalled again when making a left turn. Last time it stalled was about a month ago, I then cleaned the throttle body valve with toyota throttle body valve cleaner, both sides of the valve, and with a toothbrush. I thought that would have solved the problem.
My next suspect is the idle air control valve. What is the correct way to clean this out? My Haynes manual discusses removal and electrical testing of the IAC valve, but not cleaning. I read somewhere on this group that the IAC valve can be cleaned by spraying carburetor cleaner into the rectangular duct just outside of the throttle body valve (lower-right side), while the engine is running. Is this procedure recommended? Or is there another way?
email@example.com wrote:
Probably should have waited for a reply first, but the idea sounded like a good one, so I went ahead and did it. (Got the fire extinguisher ready, just in case spraying a flammable chemical on a hot engine did something... flammable.)
What an experience. A great sucking sound could be heard (I'd removed the air intake hose), and the engine sounded like it was going to stall each time I sprayed carburetor cleaner into the rectangular hole just inside the throttle body. I sprayed a total of three times. Then I shut down the engine, re-attached the air intake hose, and drove the car around the block. So far so good. I'll have to wait about a month to see if this did the trick...
If the symptoms return, try TriFlow next time - helps lubricate to avoid sticking now that you've cleaned it.

Most Helpful
My new favorite! I like to use the mini-farfalle pasta. Tastes great left over, too.
Great colorful pasta salad. I used rainbow fusilli for even more added color. I really expected to be able to taste the Italian dressing mix more, but the dressing was very mellow in flavor, not overwhelming. I used about half the amount of green onions, just personal preference.
Outstanding! And that's from a person who has never liked pasta salads in her life!! I only made the recipe bkz my husband and son love it, so thought I'd give it a go since his parents were visiting. Everyone raved about it and my husband said it just may be the best pasta salad he's ever had. It made a HUGE amount, perfect for a potluck, but consider making half if there are four or less. One note, I did not reserve any dressing... just dumped everything together and it was perfect. :)

Skip to comments.LA Times Protest continues today 10am to 4pm. Need more bodies!
Posted on 10/30/2008 8:28:31 PM PDT by RaginApache
Freepers - this was the most fun I've had with my clothes on in as long as I can remember. Big Shout out to RonDog -what a guy! Maybe he'll help with the next trick. Please ask him. One of the best parts was when the LA Times security guard came out and said, "It's cool. I'm voting McCain..." Vid is available several places. Jewishjournal.com is one. popmodal.com is working on theirs. Should be ready around 10PM PDT. There were LA Times employees in the windows giving us thumbs up!
The best part is that we're doing this again Fri 10-31-08. Let's HAMMER LA Times. Let's show them the "full power of Freepers." This will go national. We need Patriots in front of the LA Times Fri 10-31-08 from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. (No one has to be there all day. A few mins is better than none.)
We're in a FIGHT. A "scouting party" was there today; let's send in the Marines 10-31-08. Everyone can help. Many from today are coming Fri.
We can deploy two types of Fire Teams: On-site and virtual. We need the following:
1. On-site and online Generals. On-site deals with media, starts chants, and keeps everyone in line and focused. Online Generals will hammer the media so we get max exposure and people there in front of the LA Times.
We need volunteers. Let's get busy folks. We can coordinate with online posts here, IM, and voice.
Get hold of me. 4 Million PUMAs are with us.
PS. When we show tomorrow, the LA Times will be scared stupid. New signs will say,
"This will cost you MILLIONS." "Your advertisers are next."
We aren't kidding. We're fighting for the nation.
We should have a little newspaper bbq...the libs burn our flag, we can burn their rag.
you guys should burn a bunch of their papers right in front of their building.
Up with the flag, down with the rag!
I was out there today. Given the short notice and the fact that this is a weekday, we had a pretty good turnout.
good job!!! any pictures??
I'm too far away to participate. :( FREEP 'em good!
My only advice is to not do things that will turn the police against you. If you folks get run off for starting fires, the starting of the fires will be reported on the news to totally discredit you. And when folks hear it, many will just tune out.
Keep it positive. Hit them hard. Never give up.
You have every right to demand them to release the video, and their own people seem to know it. Great work.
ok, don't set it on fire. Just take a dump on a stack of their papers!!!
Awesome! Wish I lived close so I could join you!
I like humiliating lib yellow press in the morning! :D
See! Was that so hard? LOL
How about a taking your favorite pet along? He might enjoy getting his picture taken while hiking his leg on a stack of worthless newspapers...
This is possibly the first joint Freeper/PUMA event ever. When diehard Hillary supporters and Republican Conservatives can unite on something, you know what sort of times we are in!
Hey, I'll be on the team to notify the advertisers. I say we SEND BACK as much stuff to the advertisers as we can in an effort to create some attention to this.
Hat Tip to LGF, I have their list of advertisers!
I live in Texas, but it would be worth it to find a copy of
the LA Times and have one of the neighbor dogs pee on it!.
....then take a picture and post it!...everywhere!
I don't have a dog of my own! LOL!
Were you able to get anything into print? Was video on any of the local or national news channels?
If you want to scare it out of them, just dress up like Barney and Nancy!
Good News Folks! Donate to Obama and get the honor of lunch with Barney Frank!
I'm on hold for the Kevin James show. KRLA 870 AM Los Angeles. Call him and blog too.
Will reply soon.
Thanks! We're doing it again Fri 10-31-08. Please help get more Pats there.
Work with us to get on all conserv talk radio. We need it tomorrow. Call and tell them to get people over there. You can do it from there.
Great! Gather up other volunteers, and mail me at email@example.com
Indeed. The apocalypse must be at hand. Help us here to shut down the Anti-Christ, BHO. (He's too close to the specs for the AC for my comfort.)
Pick a job and lets roll.
we're cool with the PD. We're civilized. Pick a job and lets roll.
It works for Al Sharpton. Shake them down.
Tell them that people who pay taxes and actually pay attention and have money will boycott them.
My guess is that they figure the dinosaur media is going broke anyway, they can just go down in a blaze of glory.
Dude, you got to get OBAMA on that sign...90% of the voters don't know who Kalidi is and will just shrug it off.
Ron, they're going to portray you negatively anyways. At least of you're on the evening news you can spark some questions/doubts in peoples minds in between them calling you a nazi or a skinhead.
How about building a big 10' replica of the Times building, fly an R/C plane into it and rig it with fireworks to go off on impact.
THAT will get on the evening news...and maybe go national.
Didn't we learn after 8 years that playing nice is playing for last place?
Not a good idea !
I do agree that we do not always have to play nice.;)
I totally wanted to post an after action report but I haven't been home much of the day and I don't know how to post all the pictures I took and the guys who could help me haven't been available. If anyone wants to tell me step by step how to post pictures (from an anonymous source) please do.
Hey hey, hey ho, the Times tape has got to show!
Okay, don't blow it up, have some loudspeakers with a crunching noise and rig it to fall in on itself.
When the reporters ask "what the frick was that about" you tell them maybe the Times would be less protective of islamic terrorists if it was the Times building that went down instead of Towers in NY.
If it bleeds it leads. You got to learn to play the game or your in last place.
Did anyone put out a MEDIA ADVISORY?
I don't know either. I'm new here and don't have the time to learn at this moment.
Great job! I'm in NorCal or I'd totally be there.
As far as posting pics, sign up for a free and anonymous account at photobucket.com. Once you upload the photos, there are ready-made HTML tags underneath each uploaded pic, just copy the whole tag (use the one that starts with "<a HREF") and paste that tag in your post here. The image should show up in your preview of the post so you know it worked. :^)
It's not an A HREF= tag it's am IMG SRC=.
On photobucket, the <a HREF tag provided works here. I know if you just post an image here, we use <img src, but the other one works too.
Does it post the pic here or just provide a link to the pic on Photo Bucket?
It will display the image here, just like the <img src.
Hey Jim, I'm just wondering what companies advertise in LAT. I want to know so I can stop buying from them and tell them each with a letter...that I won't support any company that deal with trash like LAT.
I would imagine our best bets as conservatives is to stop supporting ANYONE that supports our enemies. I don't mind a differ in policy...diversity of views is okay...but this utter liberal bias in the media is going to destroy our nation.
We have to be organized against these folks. We have to cut off their funding.
By the way, references like you made in #43 are really inappropriate in my opinion. I know you've been here a lot longer than I have, but this is not good.
Cool, thanks for the info!

This is a stellar line-up. Full details below. Please support a hard-working event organiser (me!). Thank you.
*Bank holiday* Monday 7th May 2012
SPECKS IN THE SKY presents
five of the very best acts around, performing from late afternoon until early evening at the lovely Wilmington Arms in Farringdon:
Tender Trap
Matthew Robins and his band
Philip Jeays
The Melting Ice Caps (solo set)
Owen Duff
+ DJ: Jonny Cola
And we've managed to put this stellar line-up together while keeping the ticket price down to just �4.
First act on stage at around 5pm. Please check this page again nearer the time for precise running order and stage times.
More about these superb performers:
*Tender Trap*
Amelia Fletcher has fronted an array of much-loved indie pop groups, including Talulah Gosh and Heavenly. Her vocals have adorned the output of The Wedding Present, Hefner and The 6ths (Stephin Merritt). Along with Rob Pursey and John Stanley, Amelia formed Tender Trap in 2001. They deliver a glorious riot of fuzzed-up guitar, girl-group harmonies and wry lines about boyfriends.
*Matthew Robins and his band*
Seeing as he's played sold-out residencies at the Barbican, the South Bank and numerous other esteemed venues, we reckon Matthew can probably just about handle the Wilmington Arms. We're delighted that he's agreed to bring his orchestral pop fairytales to Farringdon for us. If you haven't seen the accompanying shadow puppetry before, prepare to be beguiled.
�As borderless as its creator's imagination, the universe of Matthew Robins' shadow plays is simultaneously homely, sinister and one of the most engaging live experiences you'll encounter this year.� - Time Out
�[Puppetry] silhouettes that have something of the deft wit of Picasso sketches.� - The Guardian
Matthew's website: www.sadlucy.com
*Philip Jeays*
Mr Jeays has been writing and performing exquisite songs in the Jaques Brel mode (yes, that good) since 1985. He has released six albums, and was recently selected by Robin Ince for his Nine Lessons and Carols For Godless People shows. He has appeared at the Edinburgh festival and made numerous contributions to arts programmes on Radio 3 and 4.
Philip's website: www.jeays.com
*The Melting Ice Caps*
Ice Caps frontman David is no stranger to amped-up chamber pop, Piaf-ish torch songs, sun-kissed boss nova and Pulp-y ballads. For this show, he promises a solo set of warm electronica and perhaps even a piano number or two.
�gorgeous pop� - Unpeeled
��the deceptively catchy mechanics of such esteemed souls as Bacharach, Divine Comedy... Blissful.� - Losing Today
�erudite brilliance� - Artrocker
Most of the Melting Ice Caps back catalogue is available for free via www.themeltingicecaps.co.uk We reckon the 'Strike' E.P. is a good place to start. A brand new album is due in the summer.
*Owen Duff*
We think Owen Duff has everything: songs, voice, production guile and the ability to wring magic out of piano, ukelele and cello. There's something of Rufus Wainwright here, but also more than a passing nod to Nick Drake. Anyway, Owen is decidedly his own man, rarely playing live and releasing his music through playful stunts � copies of his last EP were hidden in secret locations for fans to hunt for.
Have a listen at www.owenduff.co.uk The 'Stopgap' E.P. is a great primer, and it's free � and not hidden in a secret location!
The Wilmington Arms is at 69 Rosebery Avenue, London, EC1R 4RL.
Thanks for reading. Remember, it's only �4 to get in, we only books acts we love, and we'll never keep you out late on a work night.
See you soon

Scythe's Fuma cooler, stocky and quiet but not ready for overclocking contests
Subject: Cases and Cooling | July 20, 2016 - 04:12 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: scythe, fuma, heatsink
Scythe's Fuma heatsink is a fair size at 137x149x130mm with a weight of 920g, including the two 120mm fans, though shorter than many on the market. That stock design could cause some problems if your RAM has impressively sized heatsinks but for most modules you should not have any issues and it does not impinge on your first PCIe slot. In the tests Modders-Inc performed reasonably well when cooling an i7-4770k at stock speeds, unfortunately an overclock of 4.4GHz did see the cooler struggle and the CPU frequency was throttled back almost immediately. For lesser loads the low RPM fans will be able to keep your temperatures reasonable and do so without creating much noise. If you have a midranged CPU and want a quiet cooler in the $55 range, drop by to check out the full review.
"Heatsink designs are driven by the fundamental principle that a larger surface area equates to better heat dissipation than a smaller area. Factoring in componential consent, modern aftermarket CPU tower heatsinks had to get creative to compensate and dial-in the efficiency needed, hence the rise of dual-tower cooler designs"

Tagged: fallout resurrection, kick ass, fallout 1.5
The crew over at Resurrection Team have been working for a decade on a new Fallout game based on the Fallout 2 engine. Originally released in Czech, they have recently released the English translation, for free for anyone to use as long as you have Fallout 2. That should not be overly hard, GoG gave it away for free not too long ago and currently sell it for $10, Steam about the same. The mod sounds fairly big, the original version had 2,471,214 text characters, 80 maps and 736 scripts.
If you haven't already started downloading it, check out what Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN thought about it and see if that convinces you.
"We've worked on Resurrection for more than 10 years. We worked for two-and-a-half years on the English translation after that. All of us have worked on Resurrection in our free time."

Ya, so our IoT enabled toasters need patching ... oh, only around 5 million, why is that a problem?
Subject: General Tech | July 20, 2016 - 12:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: iot, security, amazon, Intel
The Register brings up the issue of IoT security once again today, this time looking at the logistics of patching and updating a fleet of IoT devices. Amazon is focusing on dumb devices with a smart core, the physical device having the sensors required and a connection to the net to send all data to be processed in large database which would be much easier to maintain but does offer other security issues. Intel on the other hand unsurprisingly prefers end devices with some smarts, such as their Curie and Edison modules, with a smarter gateway device sitting between those end devices and the same sort of large server based computing as Amazon.
Intel's implementation may be more effective in certain enviroments than Amazons, El Reg uses the example of an oil rig, but would be more expensive to purchase and maintain. Take a look at the article for a deeper look, or just imagine the horrors of pushing out a critical patch to 1000's of devices in an unknown state when you go live.
"Internet of Things (IoT) hype focuses on the riches that will rain from the sky once humanity connects the planet, but mostly ignores what it will take to build and operate fleets of things.
And the operational side of things could be hell."

Tagged: VideoCardz, rumor, report, nvidia, GTX 1070M, GTX 1060M, GeForce GTX 1070, GeForce GTX 1060, 2048 CUDA Cores
Specifications for the upcoming mobile version of NVIDIA's GTX 1070 GPU may have leaked, and according to the report at VideoCardz.com this GTX 1070M will have 2048 CUDA cores; 128 more than the desktop version's 1920 cores.
Image credit: BenchLife via VideoCardz
The report comes via BenchLife, with the screenshot of GPU-Z showing the higher CUDA core count (though VideoCardz mentions the TMU count should be 128). The memory interface remains at 256-bit for the mobile version, with 8GB of GDDR5.
VideoCardz reported another GPU-Z screenshot (via PurePC) of the mobile GTX 1060, which appears to offer the same specs of the desktop version, at a slightly lower clock speed.

Prefer your GTX 1060 to arrive packaged in a full system? Overclockers UK can do that with the Titan Neutron
Subject: Systems | July 19, 2016 - 06:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gtx 1060, gainward, GTX 1060 Dual, micro ATX, Overclockers UK, Titan Neutron
Gainward chose a confusing name for their new card, the GTX 1060 Dual, which seems to refer to either the two fans or the two slots it occupies; it is not a secret SLI version. The Micro ATX system is built in a Raijintek Styx Classic case with a Core i5-6400, 8GB DDR-4 2400MHz and strangely a hybrid 1TB Seagate 7200rpm drive with and 8GB MLC cache. On the other hand the packaging material includes some Haribo candies. Kitguru tested it out for performance as well as sound, being a Micro ATX system after all and found that for the price of £900 it was not a bad deal at all. Check out the Overclockers UK Titan Neutron if you are on that side of the pond, or keep the specs in mind if you are shopping around over here in North America.
"The exponential evolution of gaming graphics shows no signs of abating. We have already seen a plethora of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 cards (most recently from MSI), our first taste of the more modestly specified GTX 1060 comes installed in a complete system from Overclockers UK, the Titan Neutron Micro-ATX Gaming PC."

Tagged: pascal, nvidia, gtx 1060, gp106, geforce, founders edition
The GTX 1060 Founders Edition has arrived and also happens to be our first look at the 16nm FinFET GP106 silicon, the GTX 1080 and 1070 used GP104. This card features 10 SMs, 1280 CUDA cores, 48 ROPs and 80 texture units, in many ways it is a half of a GTX 1080. The GPU is clocked at a base of 1506MHz with a boost of 1708MHz, the 6GB of VRAM at 8GHz. [H]ard|OCP took this card through its paces, contrasting it with the RX480 and the GTX 980 at resolutions of 1440p as well as the more common 1080p. As they do not use the frame rating tools which are the basis of our graphics testing of all cards, including the GTX 1060 of course, they included the new DOOM in their test suite. Read on to see how they felt the card compared to the competition ... just don't expect to see a follow up article on SLI performance.
"NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1060 video card is launched today in the $249 and $299 price point for the Founders Edition. We will find out how it performs in comparison to AMD Radeon RX 480 in DOOM with the Vulkan API as well as DX12 and DX11 games. We'll also see how a GeForce GTX 980 compares in real world gaming."

2D semiconductors anyone?
Subject: General Tech | July 19, 2016 - 12:37 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: 2d, molybdenum sulphide, moores law, graphene
Over at Nanotechweb is an article on some rather impressive research being done to create what are, for all intents and purposes, almost two dimensional. The process used by the researchers created transistors made up of two three-atom thick MoS2 layers, both slightly overlapped with graphene, sandwiched between two one-atom think graphene layers. The trick is in the use of graphene, itself unsuitable for use as a transistor but perfect for interconnects thanks to its conductance. Read on to learn more about these researchers and the process they are working on, including a link to their publication in Nature.
"Researchers in the US have succeeded in chemically assembling the electronic junctions between a 2D semiconductor (molybdenum sulphide) and graphene, and have made an atomic transistor with good properties. They have also assembled the heterostructures into 2D logic circuits, such as an NMOS inverter with a voltage gain as high as 70."

Chinese Group Purchases Opera for $600 Million (50% Off!)
Subject: General Tech | July 19, 2016 - 02:38 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: web browser, Opera, China
Opera is the smallest of the major browser vendors, estimated at about one-fifth the desktop market share of Mozilla's Firefox. That said, it had some fairly high-profile device wins, such as the Nintendo Wii and the Nintendo DS, and they're strong on other mobile devices, too. They had their own rendering technology until 2013, when they switched to Webkit and, when Google forked away from Apple and KDE into the Blink project, followed Google.
Recently, a group of Chinese companies have announced that they will be purchasing a large chunk of the browser vendor for $600 million USD. Interestingly, this was after offering $1.2 billion just a few months earlier. This time, the Chinese group will receive less of the company, and thus will pay less for it. The original company, which will have 18 months to find a new name, will maintain ownership of three parts:
- Opera Mediaworks
- Opera Apps & Games (including Bemobi)
- Opera TV
According to Engadget, the original, $1.2 billion dollar deal was canceled when some government organization disapproved of the deal. Looking at the three components that were omit, I cannot see why a regulation body would raise an issue, whether it be for national security or monopoly reasons. They seem pretty innocuous and small, but I guess the EU might take issue with consumer data privacy?
Either way, these three elements will remain, but everything else will go.
The 8-Bit Guy Disc-usses Floppy Drives
Subject: Storage | July 19, 2016 - 01:49 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: floppy drive, apple, commodore, IBM
This video, about floppy disks, is a little bit longer and in-depth than their previous one about cassette tapes. The 8-Bit Guy and friends (I'm pretty sure they don't call themselves that...) goes through how many tracks each floppy have, how many sectors they have, and how that varies per-manufacturer (including the technical reasons of how and why they are formatted incompatibly).
The 8-Bit Guy likes to go through a bunch of hardware, spanning the gamut of Atari, Commodore, Apple, IBM PC, and others, and explain their history. The most interesting part of this video, to me, was his explanation of why the Commodore floppy drive was so much larger than its competitors, and what it meant for performance.
European Speedrunner Assembly 2016 Starts This Weekend

Tagged: speedrun, esa, charity
Somehow, despite the European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) being five years old, I just found out about it this year. Turns out that ESA 2016 is coming up this weekend. If you were a fan of Games Done Quick, this will also be a ~week-long, around the clock speed running event for charity. This one seems to run for The Save the Children Fund, although that could be an out-of-date announcement for the previous event.
The event starts with Tomb Raider II at 12pm EDT on Saturday, July 23rd, and goes until the end of a Super Mario 64 120-star relay race that starts at 2:31pm on Friday, July 29th. The event will continue offline until the 1st of August. Like Games Done Quick, which apparently inspired this event, the schedule has a wide variety of titles across several platforms. It should be interesting, regardless of when you get time to watch it.
NVIDIA's New #OrderOf10 Origins Contest
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 19, 2016 - 01:07 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia
Honestly, when I first received this news, I thought it was a mistaken re-announcement of the contest from a few months ago. The original Order of 10 challenge was made up of a series of puzzles, and the first handful of people to solve it, received a GTX 10-Series graphics card. Turns out, NVIDIA is doing it again.
For four weeks, starting on July 21st, NVIDIA will add four new challenges and, more importantly, 100 new "chances to win". They did not announce what those prizes will be or whether all of them will be distributed to the first 25 complete entries of each challenge, though. Some high-profile YouTube personalities, such as some of the members of Rooster Teeth, were streaming their attempts the last time around, so there might be some of that again this time, too.
EVGA 17th Anniversary Event (with Contest)

Tagged: evga
Sweet... seventeen? Looks we're a little late on this, but EVGA is hosting a 17th anniversary event. Jacob is live streaming gameplay at 3pm PDT (6pm EDT) today, tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that. During that time, they will be giving away four more bundles of PC hardware, and probably a bunch of game keys from EA. According to their website's previous winners, it looks like they're giving away two copies of Battlefront (with Season Pass), Need for Speed, Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, Battlefield 4 (with DLC), and Mirror's Edge: Catalyst each day.
In terms of hardware, EVGA is handing out one bundle of two components per day and three grand prize bundles: one for USA, Canada, and Latin America; one for Asia and the Pacific region; and one for Europe, the Middle East, and India.
Today, they will give out an EVGA Z170 FTW motherboard and 16GB of DDR4 RAM during today's stream. The largest, non-grand prize giveaway will be on Thursday, however, where they will hand out an X99 Classified motherboard and a GTX 1070 SC graphics card, valued at a total of $820. I'm not sure which geographic regions on these prizes are eligible, although they do state the contest is, of course, void where prohibited. If it's like the grand prize, it seems to be pretty much worldwide.
Fnatic's Gear Flick Mouse, it won't judge you based on your handedness
Subject: General Tech | July 18, 2016 - 02:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: fnatic gear, input, gaming mouse, flick, ambidextrous
Many gaming mice on the market are designed for use with your right hand, with some manufactures offering a second, mirrored model but they are in the minority. Ambidextrous mice tend to lack in features as symmetrical button placement is not necessarily a handy solution. The Fnatic Gear Flick Mouse is marketed for use in either the left or right hand, however only the right side has buttons. The shell of the mouse may feel comfortable but requiring a user to press buttons with their pinkie finger seems awkward. For right handers, the use of a Pixart 3310 optical sensor offers good response on what is otherwise a very spares design. You can read more about it at Kitguru.
"We have already taken a look at the Rush Gear Keyboard recently but today we are taking a look at Fnatic's mouse offering, the Gear Flick, featuring an ambidextrous design and all necessary features that most gamers would expect from a mouse. "

Tagged: google, VR, daydream, rumour, Huawei
Detailed information on Google's Daydream VR Headeset was conspicuously absent from io16. At that time it was still expected that Google was developing a VR headset to compete with the Rift and Vive which is why it seemed strange they merely mentioned it in passing. Today rumours are spreading that Google may have abandoned that particular project on favour of improving mobile VR, taking advantage of Google Cardboard one might assume. They are instead focusing on the software side, the Daydream VR platform designed to enhance VR capabilities on Android N will be improved and offered to vendors; Huawei was mentioned in the post on The Inquirer. While it is still rumour at this point it certainly makes sense to stop spending money to develop competing hardware when they can focus on improving mobile software which any Android phone could use.
"While Daydream persists, Recode said that Google has cancelled plans to create its own VR headset as it does not want to compete with Facebook, Samsung, HTC and others."

Honey, I Shrunk The NES
Subject: General Tech | July 17, 2016 - 01:07 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Nintendo, nes, gaming, !console
Fans of the 90s (and late 80s) will be happy to know that Nintendo is bring back the Nintendo Entertainment System in the form of a modern and miniaturized package. The NES Classic Edition is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and offers up 30 built in classic NES games! It will be available for the holiday season at $59.99 sans old school RCA jacks and finicky cartridges!
Nintendo has not provided details on the internals of the console, unfortunately, but it seems to be using a low power SoC that runs emulated versions of the games. That is to say that it is likely Nintendo is using modern components rather the original hardware. One clue is that Nintendo states that gamers will be able to use multiple suspend points on each game and will not have to worry about using continue passwords each time they load up a game. A poster over at Ars Technica suggests that Nintendo may be using the guts of an existing or new 3DS handheld console to power the NES Classic Edition, but we'll have to wait for someone to get thier hands on it to know for sure what is going on under the hood.
On the outside, the NES Classic Edition looks nearly identical to the NES many gamers (myself included) grew up with except for the controller ports being different and of course the physical size! There is even a cartridge slot cover though it is only there for aesthetics and does not actually open (it would have been awesome if it opened to reveal an SD card slot!). Around the back you will find the AC power input and an HDMI video output which is great to see in this age where hooking up an old school console can be a pain (or a chain of adapters heh). There is no word on what resolution the console will output at or if there will be any upscaling...
Speaking of controllers, Nintendo has brought back the old school rectangular gray controller from the original NES which it is calling the NES Classic Controller. This controller plugs into the NES Classic Edition console using the same proprietary port found on the bottom of Wii Remotes (because going with a USB port would have been too easy heh), and users can plug up to two NES Controllers into the console to play with a friend or plug the controller into a Wii Remote in order to play classic games found on the Wii and Wii U Virtual Consoles.
The NES Classic Edition comes with a single controller. Additional controllers will have a MSRP of $9.99. Alternatively, gamers can plug their Wii Classic Controller or Wii Classic Controller Pro game pads into the mini NES.
The bite-sized NES will come with 30 built in games. This number is sadly not expandable as there is no external memory or internet connection on the console (modders would have loved this thing...).
The list of games is as follows:
- Balloon Fight
- Bubble Bobble
- Castlevania
- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
- Donkey Kong
- Donkey Kong Jr.
- Double Dragon II: The Revenge
- Dr. Mario
- Excitebike
- Final Fantasy
- Galaga
- Ghosts N' Goblins
- Gradius
- Ice Climber
- Kid Icarus
- Kirby's Adventure
- Mario Bros.
- Mega Man 2
- Metroid
- Ninja Gaiden
- Pac-Man
- Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream
- StarTropics
- Super C
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Tecmo Bowl
- The Legend of Zelda
- Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
I am excited to see the Castlevania and Zelda games on here along with, of course, the Super Mario Bros. games. I do remember playing Dr. Mario and Ninja Gaiden as well, but there are several games that I have fond memories of playing that did not make the cut! For example, I remember playing a lot of Super Off Road, Duck Hunt (how do they not have this? I guess the old gun wouldn't work with new TVs so they would have to figure something else out though), RC Pro-Am which I loved, and a few others I can't remember the names of anymore).
I have no doubt that this is going to be an extremely popular seller and a great gift idea for the gamer in your life (or yourself! hehe). I wish that it had more games or at least ROM support so that it had a bit more life, but for what it is it is not a bad deal. After all, the original NES launched at $199.99 in 1985 which would make it almost $450 in today's dollars! For those interested, it should be up for pre-order at some point, but for now it is still notify only at Amazon US.
Are you excited for the tiny NES Classic Edition or is your trusty NES and cartridges collection still kicking? What were your favorite NES games growing up (if any)?
Asus ROG STRIX RX 480 Graphics Card Coming Next Month
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 16, 2016 - 11:03 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: rx 480, ROG, Radeon RX 480, polaris 10 xt, polaris 10, DirectCU III, asus
Following its previous announcement, Asus has released more information on the Republic of Gamers STRIX RX 480 graphics card. Pricing is still a mystery but the factory overclocked card will be available in the middle of next month!
In my previous coverage, I detailed that the STRIX RX 480 would be using a custom PCB along with Asus' DirectCU III cooler and Aura RGB back lighting. Yesterday, Asus revealed that the card also has a custom VRM solution that, in an interesting twist, draws all of the graphics card's power from the two PCI-E power connectors and nothing from the PCI-E slot. This would explain the inclusion of both a 6-pin and 8-pin power connector on the card! I do think that it is a bit of an over-reaction to not draw anything from the slot, but it is an interesting take on powering a graphics card and I'm interested to see how it all works out once the reviews hit and overclockers get a hold of it!
The custom graphics card is assembled using Asus' custom "Auto Extreme" automated assembly process and uses "Super Alloy Power II" components (which is to say that Asus claims to be using high quality hardware and build quality). The DirectCU III cooler is similar to the one used on the STRIX GTX 1080 and features direct contact heatpipes, an aluminum fin stack, and three Wing Blade fans that can spin down to zero RPMs when the card is being used on the desktop or during "casual gaming." The fan shroud and backplate are both made of metal which is a nice touch. Asus claims that the cooler is 30% cooler and three times quieter than the RX 480 reference cooler.
Last but certainly not least, Asus revealed boost clock speeds! The STRIX RX 480 will clock up to 1,330 MHz in OC Mode and up to 1,310 MHz in Gaming Mode. Further Asus has not touched the GDDR5 memory frequency which stays at the reference 8 GHz. Asus did not reveal base (average) GPU clocks. I was somewhat surprised by the factory overclock as I did not expect much out of the box, but 1,330 MHz is fairly respectable. This card should have a lot more headroom beyond that though, and fortunately Asus provides software that will automatically overclock the card even further with one click (GPU Tweak II also lets advanced users manually overclock the card). Users should be able to hit at least 1,450 MHz assuming they do decently in the silicon lottery.
For reference, stock RX 480s are clocked at 1,120 MHz base and up to 1,266 MHz boost. Asus claims their factory overclock results in a 15% higher score in 3DMark Fire Strike and 19% more performance in DOOM and Hitman.
Other features of the STRIX RX 480 include FanConnect which is two 4-pin fan headers that allows users to hook up two case fans and allow them to be controlled by the GPU. Aura RGB LEDs on the shroud and backplate allow users to match their build aesthetics. Asus also includes XSplit GameCaster for game streaming with the card.
No word on pricing yet, but you will be able to get your hands on the card in the middle of next month (specifically "worldwide from mid-August")!
This card is definitely one of the most interesting RX 480 designs so far and I am anxiously awaiting the full reviews!
How far do you think the triple fan cooler can push AMD's Polaris 10 XT GPU?
RetroArch Announces Vulkan API Support (& Async Compute)
Subject: General Tech | July 16, 2016 - 06:58 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: n64, dolphin, libretro, retroarch, vulkan, async shaders, asynchronous compute, amd
While the Dolphin emulator has a lot of mind share, and recently announced DirectX 12 support, they have only just recently discussed working on the open alternative, Vulkan. It looks like the LibRetro developer community will beat them with an update to RetroArch and the LibRetro API. The page for RetroArch 1.3.5 exists as of (according to Google) yesterday, but 404s, so it should be coming soon. It is still in experimental mode, but it's better than nothing.
Interestingly, they also claim that their Vulkan port of Angrylion makes use of asynchronous compute. It's unclear what it uses that for, but I'm sure it will make for interesting benchmarks.

i tried to cancel the booking several times using their website, but it did not work and cited 'technical issues'. i then tried to email them through their customer service desk and received only canned responses.. finally i received an email that said i was within the 90 day cancelation period and would therefore be charged the full amount of my booking.... about $500.00.
i tried using email, AS THEY HAVE NO CONTACT PHONE NUMBER ! to tell them that their website search pulled up a hotel not even on st. thomas, but a different island altogether. i've heard nothing back on that yet.
i called the hotel in St. vincent, the woman was very nice... after explaining the situation to her, she completely understood and even went on to say they have no cancellation fee at 90 days.... just any time within a few days of arrival would be fine. i'm not due to go until march. she said she would not collect a fee from me and that i needed to work with all-hotels directly.
i then sent another several emails to all-hotels and they have continued to write back that i will be charged for the full stay. when i told them i had talked to the hotel and told them the hotel has no plans to collect the fee, and asked all-hotels who would collect the full night stay and who would keep it if the hotel has already told me that they will not...... interestingly, i have not heard back from them on my question....
anyway, i have cancelled the credit card that the trip was booked on, but they do still have my booking fee.....
i suggest you all be wary of a company that doesn't post a contact phone number....

Lambert, who headed the winning goal in midweek against Scotland with the first touch of his England debut, coolly dispatched the spot-kick in the 90th minute after Luke Shaw had been brought down in the box by Youssouf Mulumbu.
It sealed a deserved three points for the Saints, who had been the better side for most of the contest.
They had their goalkeeper Artur Boruc to thank as the death, though, as the Poland international pulled off a great save to keep out Billy Jones' header.
There appeared to be signs of early-season nerves in the opening stages of the game, with West Brom's number one Ben Foster making a hash of an attempted catch and Boruc then giving away a corner by fumbling a James Morrison shot.
Southampton did seem to be settling quicker, however, and Foster's palms were stung by a long-range James Ward-Prowse effort just before the quarter-hour mark.
At the other end Gareth McAuley nodded a Graham Dorrans corner well over, but Southampton were soon pressuring again.
Ward-Prowse's free-kick into the box fell to Lambert, who saw his shot on the turn well blocked by McAuley, and a scramble ensued, with Adam Lallana also striking the ball against a Baggies shirt before the hosts got it away.
Albion attempted to get a grip on the game and when Jonas Olsson nodded the ball to Mulumbu from a free-kick, the midfielder struck an effort wide off one of his team-mates.
Southampton then had the ball in the net as Lambert headed a delivery from Calum Chambers - making his first senior Saints start - back across the area for Lallana to poke in at the far post, but the assistant referee's flag was raised.

By Eric Stevick Herald Writer
MONROE — From behind a cyclone fence in a parking lot below, Shannon Sica coaxingly called up to her second-floor apartment unit.
"Joey, Joe-eee."
A day after Sunday's early morning fire left nearly three dozen Monroe residents homeless, Sica held on to the faint hope that her black tabby had somehow survived the smoke and flames.
The curtains to her apartment danced in a gentle breeze, giving the teasing illusion of movement inside.
Her Monday morning was a tug-of-war between hope and tears.
Sica, 32, and her husband, Silvio, escaped with little more than the clothes on their backs. They didn't have time to scoop up Joey in the chaos.
Despite losing her home, belongings and, most likely, her beloved feline friend, Sica was grateful for one thing: her life.
"Thank God I woke up," she said.
It was a sentiment shared by other tenants of the low-income 16-unit apartment complex in the 100 block of West Hill Street in downtown Monroe. Damage to the building is estimated at $450,000.
Six people stayed in an emergency American Red Cross shelter Sunday night. The relief organization's Snohomish County chapter has helped 28 people from the building with emergency needs, spokeswoman Jeanne Hanson said.
"Everybody who needed assistance is getting it," she said.
Police searched for a cause Monday.
Some tenants wondered if the fire was set intentionally, but the investigation has turned up no such evidence.
"We have found nothing so far that would indicate arson," Monroe Police Department spokeswoman Debbie Willis said.
The structure was built in 1903 and has been remodeled several times, Willis said.
Ron "Hoss" Tehan, 47, walked past his apartment complex carrying grocery bags of milk and Triscuits on Monday morning. He was accompanied by his Lab, Sugar, and roommate Dylan Windham, 18.
Tehan said he rescued a neighbor's dog from her apartment before fleeing.
"I was thinking I found him just in time," he said.
Windham, 18, an Everett Community College student, grabbed his backpack full of textbooks before abandoning the apartment unit.
"I was just happy everyone got out alive," he said.
Sharon Hall, 58, considered herself fortunate. She lived in a separate unit connected to the main building that was not damaged by fire.
As the fire spread, she fled in her pajamas and robe with Gunner, her chihuahua-pug mix under an arm.
On Monday morning, police opened up the temporary cyclone barrier so she could haul out heavy-duty plastic bags of her belongings.
"I was lucky," she said. "Everything I own was in that apartment. It would have been disastrous."
Jeff Harper, an owner of the Thrive Community Fitness center next door, was thankful the flames didn't reach his business.
"It's awful close to home," he said. "It's a real miracle. Kudos to the fire department."

(ABCNews) -- A historic movie palace is among the many buildings that were devastated by flood waters in downtown Cedar Rapids.
The Paramount Theater got extensive damage when the Cedar River poured over its banks. The mighty Wurlitzer organ was a broken mess on Tuesday.
The surging water ripped out all the lobby doors and warped the stage.
Theater operators are only just beginning to assess the amount of damage.
The Cedar Rapids Symphony has performed in the theater for 20 years and must now find a new home. Musicians were able to save their instruments.
The Paramount opened in 1928 and is owned by the city.

|Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (1994)
Reinhard Justus Reginald Selten (born 5 October 1930) is a German economist, who won the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (shared with John Harsanyi and John Nash). He is also well known for his work in bounded rationality, and can be considered as one of the founding fathers of experimental economics.
Selten was born in Breslau (Wrocław) in Lower Silesia, now in Poland, to a Jewish father, Adolf Selten, and Protestant mother, Käthe Luther.[1][2] Reinhard Selten was raised as Protestant.[1]
He studied mathematics at Goethe University Frankfurt and obtained his diploma in 1957. He then worked as scientific assistant to Heinz Sauermann until 1967. In 1959, he married with Elisabeth Lang Reiner. They had no children. In 1961 he also received his doctorate in Frankfurt in mathematics with a thesis on the evaluation of n-person games.
He was a visiting professor at Berkeley, and taught from 1969 to 1972 at the Free University of Berlin and from 1972 to 1984 at the University of Bielefeld. He then accepted a professorship at the University of Bonn. There he built the BonnEconLab, a laboratory for experimental economic research, on which he has been active even after his retirement.
Selten is professor emeritus at the University of Bonn, Germany, and holds several honorary doctoral degrees. He has been an Esperantist since 1959,[1] and met his wife through the Esperanto movement.[3] He is a member and co-founder of the International Academy of Sciences San Marino.
For the 2009 European Parliament election, he was the top candidate for the German wing of Europe – Democracy – Esperanto.[4]
For his work in game theory, Selten won the 1994 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences (shared with John Harsanyi and John Nash), see also Subgame perfect Nash equilibrium.
He is also well known for his work in bounded rationality, and can be considered as one of the founding fathers of experimental economics. He developed an example of a game called Selten's Horse because of its extensive form representation.
He is noted for his publishing in non-refereed journals to avoid being forced to make unwanted changes to his work.[5]

This caught me by suprise so I started asking me questions informing him that I needed more information and why would I have a lawyer if I have never heard or been accused of this issue before. He then told me that I was going to recieve a misdemenear for money laundrying, and credit card fraud and I could also tell that the call was being recorded because there was an echo after every word I said.
I asked this person that would not give me his name or supervisor information what was the supposedly account information that this so called money was deposited in and he could not give me this information. He rudely got an attitude with me and hung up the phone.

CSI switched my equipment to an analog bag phone. It required that before each show I call my cell phone carrier and switch my cell phone signal from my digital phone to the analog bag phone and then back at the end of the show. CSI assured me that it would work fine. It didn't work for 2 reasons. First was difficult to get cell phone representative to change signal from digital to analog, even after a long explanation of what I was doing. Second, the bag phone battery pack kept the phone powered for only about four hours, when I needed it from six to nine hours. Returning the unit twice for new batteries failed to correct the problem even though CSI assured me it would work.
In Nov. 2001 my cell phone carrier notified me they were discontinuing analog signal support and I could no longer use the analog signal after the end of the year. CSI told me they had a piece of equipment that attaches to a digital cell phone and converts the signal to analog, but that it required a Motorola Startac cell phone.
Early in 2002 I bought the phone from my cell carrier, US Cellular, extending my contract for two years. When I called CSI to get the switching equipment, I was then told US Cellular service won't work and that I needed to subscribe to Verizon Wireless. In my rural area, Verizon isn't even available.
At this point I asked for a refund of my $2,250 purchase price, because the original equipment sold to me didn't work as promised, the replacement equiment didn't work as promised and I could no longer use it at all. Not one time did it work as promised. The CSI representative refused because, he said, I had used the equipment. I called the sales rep and was told he had no control over it and could not make that decision. I wrote a letter to CSI asking for a refund and got no response.

"D7000 WB filter Detection on SB900"
I can't find anywhere in Darryl's book or the owners manual where it talks about whether the D7000 has this feature (I assume it does) and how-to use this feature. Can anyone shed some light??
