Ice missiles snowball into cash for state
State Police are aggressively ticketing drivers who ignore Connecticut's new "ice missile" law, which requires motorists to remove all snow and ice from their vehicles.
Since the law took effect Jan. 1, state police have issued at least 230 tickets to truckers and motorists who were driving snow-covered vehicles. At $120 per summons -- the fine is $75, plus $45 in various surcharges -- that amounts to $27,600 in tickets in a month and a half.
"It's an expensive issue," said Lt. J. Paul Vance, the state police spokesman.
"We are telling people to not only plan for extra time when driving in bad weather, but plan for extra time to clean off your car. If snow is on a vehicle and it comes off, you're responsible," Vance said.
Vance could not break down the number of tickets issued to motorists and truck drivers, who face the added burden of clearing snow from tall trailers not easily accessible from the ground.
With 12 significant snowstorms already this winter, motorists are getting plenty of practice removing snow, a task often complicated by freezing rain and low temperatures.
"It's a big challenge," said Mike Riley, president of the Motor Transport Association of Connecticut, which represents 900 companies with truck drivers.
Riley said it's hard enough to remove frozen snow and ice from a car. Trucks, with high cabs and thin trailer roofs, are even more difficult, he pointed out.
More InformationThe law
Drivers must "remove any accumulated ice or snow from such motor vehicle, including the hood, trunk and roof of such motor vehicle, so that any ice or snow accumulated on such vehicle does not pose a threat to persons or property while the vehicle is being operated on any street or highway of this state."
Snow-on-roof fines since Jan. 1, when state law effective:
$120 per summons - $75 plus $45 in surcharges - equals about $27,600 in tickets so far in 2014.
Drivers can face up to a $200 fine -- and commercial drivers a $500 fine -- for snow that damages another vehicle or causes an accident.
"We don't have a good solution to this," he said. "But we are trying to address it. Some companies have put in big swinging brushes to push snow off. We have sold 200 roof rakes designed for trucks. That seems to be a temporary low tech solution."
"We want to talk to state police about how strict this should be," Riley said. "It's almost impossible to get all of it off, and people should not be penalized for a small amount."
He noted a trucker last week received a ticket for a little snow and ice on the side of his trailer.
According to the law, drivers must "remove any accumulated ice or snow from such motor vehicle, including the hood, trunk and roof of such motor vehicle, so that any ice or snow accumulated on such vehicle does not pose a threat to persons or property while the vehicle is being operated on any street or highway of this state."
The law was passed in 2010 but implementation was delayed to Jan. 1, 2014, to allow the public to become aware of the regulation and for trucking companies to develop ways to remove snow from big rigs.
If snow falls off a passenger car and damages another vehicle or causes an accident, the operator can be fined $200. Commercial drivers face a $500 fine.
New Jersey and Pennsylvania have enacted similar laws.
"Troopers have investigated many accidents caused by ice and snow coming off trucks and cars," Vance said. "My wife couldn't get the snow off her car. If it won't come off, you have to warm it up."
Although the state's trucking industry successfully fought the so-called "ice missile" legislation for 20 years, one Fairfield County legislator refused to give up.
"When I first brought it up, people laughed at it as though it was a gag," said Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk, during a recent interview with Hearst Connecticut Media.
Cafero said he became interested in the issue after his wife, Barbara, was driving to her job in Tarrytown, N.Y., when a chunk of ice from a truck in front of her smashed her windshield. Although she was unharmed, Cafero said he decided to pursue legislation banning snow and ice on vehicles.
"The stuff flies down in a slow-motion nightmare," said Cafero, who is now House minority leader. "Hopefully, if it saves some damage, it's a good thing."

Nice! Where did you find those, Pete?
I haven't even seen pictures of these. Are these 5 POA figures or are they more like Marvel Universe style?
Ok, I saw these yesterday too. Is the Dark Elf the same as Kurse? Or are these 2 different figures? Pardon my ignorance but I only know the classic Thor characters from the comics. I didn't notice what the articulation looked like, sorry.

The Global Thermochromic Materials Market is expected to reach USD 7.31 Billion by 2025, according to a new report by Hexa Reports. Growing demand for reversible thermochromic materials in application industries is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.
Growing demand for thermochromic materials in food quality indicators to determine the quality of frozen meat and dairy products coupled with increasing use of thermochromic pigments in inks, paints, and coatings is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.
Browse Detail Report With TOC @ http://www.hexareports.com/report/thermochromic-materials-market
Color diversity, cost effectiveness, and manufacturing process flexibility are some of the major advantages of thermochromic materials. As a result, the demand for thermochromic pigments in novelty products is increasing significantly. In addition, the use of reversible temperature-sensitive materials in baby products and sensors is expected to aid growth over the next eight years.
Complex chemical formulation coupled with the difficulty in maintaining the formulation stability of reversible thermochromic materials is expected to hamper the demand for the materials over the forecast period. However, constant research & development projects undertaken by the manufacturers is expected aid in the development of stable reversible materials, which in turn is likely to attract demand from the application industries.
Request A Sample copy of This Report @ http://www.hexareports.com/report/thermochromic-materials-market/request-sample
Further key findings from the report suggest:
• Irreversible materials dominated the market with over 60% of the overall revenue share due to increasing demand for the product in novelty products and textile industry over the forecast period
• Thermochromic pigments accounted or the largest volume share in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to the increasing use of the pigments in the manufacturing of paints and inks
• Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region over the forecast period on account of the increasing demand for reversible as well as irreversible products in textile & novelty product manufacturing, and printing industry
• The industry is fragmented with manufacturers catering to their local markets, creating a monopoly. In addition, on account of the emerging industry and slow growth, the existing manufacturers prevent new players from entering the market.

EDMONTON - New funding of $50 million for Alberta's post-secondary schools is "too little, too late" to make up for earlier provincial cuts to academia, opposition parties charged Wednesday in linking the move to Premier Alison Redford's upcoming leadership vote.
The money restores about one third of the $147 million that was dropped from advanced education grants during the spring budget, an insufficient gesture to help schools who have already taken steps to cut staff, limit enrolment and reduce programs, Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said.
"Adding back a token amount, after giving such mixed message to the leaders in our advanced education institutions, it's disrespectful and shows the government doesn't have a handle on this file," she said. "All of the post-secondary institutions needed to have this answer before they started their school year, before they started having to increase class sizes or raise marks to get into programs, or cancel or suspend programs."
Advanced Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk said this week was the earliest date possible to restore some funding, as the province had to wait until it was sure its financial situation was improving.
He said the cuts in the spring were necessary to deal with a huge budget shortfall, but that the government always intended to put some money back when it could.
"We said this is our No. 1 priority, that the moment we had any spare change we will reinvest," Lukaszuk said. "I made a promise and I delivered."
He said the money will be split among 20 universities, colleges and technical institutes, including a share of $14.4 million for the University of Alberta and $10.6 million for the University of Calgary.
MacEwan University will receive $2.6 million, while NAIT gets $3.7 million and Athabasca University gets $970,000.
How the money is spent will be up to each school, though it must be used to address enrolment pressure.
"You go on your knees to Treasury Board and ask for what you can, but this is definitely a satisfying announcement. Fifty million dollars will significantly alleviate some of the pressures our post-secondary institutions were feeling," Lukaszuk said. "It will allow them to bring in new students in January if they choose, or it will finance over-enrolment they may have already incurred."
At the U of A, administrators have been grappling with a $28-million cut this year followed by a $56-million cut in 2014-15. The university has so far offered buyouts to professors and has indicated that entrance standards for science students could be raised, among other measures to deal with the shortfall.
Acting provost Martin Ferguson-Pell said the added funding announced Wednesday will help the U of A "preserve a lot of really important programs here that would otherwise have been at risk."
He said it will probably take a couple of weeks before all the deans are consulted and decisions are made on which programs will be the biggest beneficiaries.
Adam Woods, vice-president external for the U of A Students' Union, said he hopes the money can go to retain some of the professors set to depart, and restore enrolment in science.
"This is just a first step. There still needs to be more reinvestment from the province to restore funding to where it was before the cuts."
Across the river at MacEwan University, president David Atkinson said his school has not had to cut enrolment but is under pressure to increase spaces in high-demand programs such as nursing. The university is dealing with a budget reduction of $15.8 million largely by not filling vacant positions.
"We will spend some time thinking about the best use of these (new) funds," he said. "We will be looking very carefully at how we can grow our students' numbers, but if we take them, we have to be assured we can provide a quality experience for them."
Opposition parties said the announcement of the extra funding is conveniently close to the Progressive Conservative convention in two weeks, when Redford will face a vote on her leadership of the party.
The government has been taking a beating from the public over its initial cuts to academia, so the premier now needs "a couple of wins" to ensure she survives the vote, Smith said.
"This government couldn't run a lemonade stand," NDP Leader Brian Mason said in question period, while Liberal MLA Kent Hehr said the province had thrown the education sector into "chaos."

Grab a bat
Day 7 was pretty normal. The major change from yesterday was batting practice. Instead of the coaches and instructors throwing BP, 16 different pitchers had the honor. It is a routine that will carry over until the games begin next week.
Highlight, or lowlight, of the day was batting practice for writers and TV sportscasters from Philly who are covering camp. Milt Thompson and Bill Bliss (Williamsport pitching coach) took turns throwing BP.
Jim Salisbury (Inquirer), Todd Zolecki (Inquirer), Marcus Hayes (Daily News), Randy Miller (Bucks County Courier), Dennis Deitch (Delaware County Times), Mike Radano (Camden Courier-Post), Rob Maaddi (AP) and Ken Mandel (phillies.com) were the writers who swung the bats on the Richie Ashburn Field.
From TV land, Jamie Apody (Channel 6), Jade McCarthy (Channel 10) and Don Bell (Channel 3) took turns. McCarthy got the biggest cheer when she hit a ball that landed three feet beyond the pitcher's mound. Apody could swing the bat, hitting several line drives.
Reversing the roles: Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, Shane Victorino and Aaron Rowand took the microphones and asked the questions….between laughs. Howard attempted to coach Jade…"Swing now. Too late. Swing now. Come on, swing now."
Charlie Manuel watched from behind the left field fence. "I'd say the media should stick to what they are doing," he laughed.
Getting exposure for your team is the primary role of a PR person. We attempted to have a national TV network cover the event. Unfortunately, the Comedy Channel said no.

I can't help it — I'm disappointed with the mess Alan Ball left us with at the end of Season 3. There are so many questions unanswered, and so much action put on hold until next summer. I'm OK with cliffhangers, but this was lacking a certain intensity had by the previous episodes. Not only has it been the goriest and bloodiest season yet, but it's also been the most supernatural, introducing all kinds of other beings in existence in Bon Temps. This could have wowed us and left us wanting more. But instead, we're just left wanting.
So what happened on the finale?
Eric and Russell are still outside, roasting in the sun. Russell says he had to kill Eric's father — he needed the goats.
Godric appears, asking Eric to forgive Russell. He tells Eric that Russell will find peace in death, even though he's a total a-hole, so Eric might as well let him live.
Sookie wakes up and realizes Bill is standing over her. She slaps him for betraying her and demands to know where Eric is. When Pam tells her he's out in the sun, chained by silver to the former king of Mississippi, Sookie ignores Bill's pleas and heads outside to save him. She doesn't know how to release the silver cuffs, but Russell gives her an idea: "Use your gift." She is able to harness her anger at him to spark off the silver. Russell screams, "Now drag me the f–k inside!" Before dragging only Eric toward the door, she uses her power to blast Russell further off into the parking lot. "You watch your f—ing language!"
Eric needs human blood but Pam says he's too weak to draw a fang. Sookie insists that Bill bites her. She winces at the pain but bends down to put her wrist in Eric's mouth. "Keep an eye on him," she instructs Bill. "We both know he could lose control."
Eric manages to not lose control, thankfully, and he asks that Sookie bring Russell in. "Eric, do the world a favor and let that little f–k fry," Pam says. Eric says he'll go out there himself before having a "Whose fang is bigger?" fight with Bill. "Oh for the love of God," Sookie says, going outside to drag Russell in by a chain. He is burnt to an ashy crisp.
Eric ties him to the stripper pole while he tries his best to be threatening, but his fang falls out. He tells Sookie he will only think about finding her for the rest of his life, which doesn't make it any easier when Eric says the vamps must go to ground and the human/fairy hybrid has to keep watch. "Do not stake him!" he tells her.

If what's keeping you from buying your own personal ultralight aircraft is lack of garage space and a USB plug on the plane's dash for your iPod — you are certainly in luck.
Los Angeles startup ICON Aircraft this week unveiled its A5 ultralight "sport plane," which the company hopes will open a new market made up of amateur pilots zipping around the skies with style.
Concept art — what, no reflective black effect?
Yes, you see, in 2004 the US Federal Aviation Administration created a new classification of Sport Pilot licenses that only requires 20 hours of in-flight training, no medical check, and half the cost of a traditional private pilot's license.
With the piloting bar set to an unprecedented low (not seen since they let a couple of bicycle repairmen tool around Kitty Hawk, North Carolina) companies such as ICON are looking to get rich.
"Son, let me tell you something: Fuck hiking."
ICON focuses on special touches that are time-tested to appeal to the mass market — namely looking good and not killing the operator.
The two-seater A5 includes an "intuitive," sports car-like cockpit with a MP3 player port, runs on both auto and aviation gasoline, and sports retractable wings that make the plane fit snugly in a large garage.
It's also got safety kit such as a propeller guard and a whole-airframe parachute for those times when finding a landing strip is too damn inconvenient.
Should have saved up for the gas
ICON CEO Kirk Hawkings says the aircraft brings the "freedom, fun and adventure back into aviation." [Note: apparently at some point, piloting a regular personal aircraft has become — yawn — way too boring.]
The plane starts at $139,000 with initial models scheduled to be delivered in late 2010.
That's assuming things go well when the full-scale prototype begins flight tests this summer. Look to the sky — if you see a ball of screaming death and fire plummeting from above you'll know it's time to seek a refund on the required $5,000 deposit.
There's more about the plane at Popular Mechanics including a video of its unveiling. (Warning: Audience comments about the plane such as "This would be perfect for the Bahamas," will make you extremely bitter if you are going home to a studio apartment and peanut butter sandwich dinner.) ®

Photo by myself on the subway platform, at 59th Street, Columbus Circle.
A fellow all decked out in gold sat with his gold belongings, Tuesday night. This performer drew interest and requests for photos.
I wish I had news to report, but it's been business as usual. Work has been going full blast and time is flying by.
The nice thing is that it feels like the economy is shifting to the better. I've noticed that people are definitely giving more money to street performers and the homeless.
New Yorkers seem to really enjoy rewarding performers who have talent and those that can bring a smile to passersby.

Test Recipes: Albers Corn Bread
Article Digest:
Recently, in the
JediLow asked for a cornbread recipe. So I thought I'd see how the Albers back of the box recipe does. In my experience, some of the back of the box recipes are horrible and some are excellent (Nestle Tollhouse Cookies). So, here we go.
Supermarkets in my area carry a brand of cornbread called Albers.
Here's the transcribed recipe from the back of this box of Albers Yellow Corn Meal.
Albers Cornbread
1 cup ALBERS Yellow Corn Meal
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbs. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg, lightly beaten
PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Grease 8-inch-square baking pan.
COMBINE corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Combine milk, oil and egg in small bowl; mix well. Add milk mixture to flour mixture; stir just until blended. Pour into prepared pan.
BAKE for 20 to 25 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Serve warm.
NOTE: Recipe may be doubled. Use greased 13x9-inch baking pan; bake as above.
In the medium bowl, I placed the corn meal and flour. I measured out sugar, baking powder and salt as well. In the measuring cup, I poured whole milk and canola oil and broke a large egg into it.
I poured the sugar, baking powder, and salt into the medium bowl and gave the dry ingredients a quick whisk.
I whisked the liquids until they were smooth and poured it into the medium bowl over the dry ingredients.
After whisking briefly, I poured the batter into a greased 8x8 inch pan.
Into a 400°F oven it went and twenty minutes later I came back with a bamboo skewer. Plunging the skewer into the middle of the cornbread, I checked to see if anything stuck to the skewer as it came out. It came out clean, so the cornbread was done.
Normally, I'd cut the cornbread into nine pieces of 2-2/3 in. squares, but neither Tina nor I were hungry, so I cut it into sixteen pieces.
So, how did it taste? Tina and I both agreed that there was not enough sugar and for some reason there was a slight sour taste. I can't figure out what could have caused the sourness unless my canola oil had gone bad (I'm sure I would have noticed since I smelled and examined it beforehand). The baking powder should chemically counteract itself (in terms of acid and base reactions) and the milk was definitely not sour (since I had a glass with dinner).
In addition, I found the texture more gritty than what I like in a cornbread (I hate to admit it, but the cornbread I like is from Boston Market), but Tina felt the texture was about right and what she expected.
I'm going to have to test this recipe at least once more to see if the sour flavor persists.

Cornbread is always better when cooked in a cast iron skillet (the bigger the skillet, the thinner/crispier the cornbread the better). It's done when it pulls away from the edges of the pan and is brown on top.
Grease the skillet before hand by swirling a bit of canola oil around in it. Great way to help bake in the seasoning on the skillet.
The grittiness depends on the cornmeal you buy (buy more finely ground and you might like it better).
The best cornbread recipie I know comes from the Better Homes & Gardens New Cookbook (copyright 1968). 1 C sifted all-purpose flour; 1/4 C sugar; 4 tsp baking powder; 3/4 tsp salt; 1 C yellow cornmeal; 2 eggs; 1 C milk; 1 C shortening. Combine ingredients. Do not overmix. Bake at 425 F for 20-25 min.

Good try. Maybe you'll come up with something you like more. The Better Homes & Gardens recipe is good, that's the one my grandmother made (a lot of the original recipes made it to later versions).

Yeah, Albers will do you in a pinch. But I wouldn't rely on it. Look around for some hippy natural food shop that moves a lot of bulk corn meal. You'll find great stuff there.
You bet the cast iron is the nicest. I usually preheat the sucker for a bit. Rub it with a slice of bacon.
I would substitute the shortening for real lard. I render my own on a regular basis. The light yet rich flavor in baking can't be reproduced with shortening. It gets used in meat pie crusts, greasing of the pancake griddle and curing of the cast iron. Even rendered duck fat doesn't have the same non-stick qualities. Although, duck fat is amazing in its own right. YUM. Especially for sauces ... oh man.

Ah yes. I'm not a fan of adding the cheese, peppers and canned corn to my breads. But I have to say, fresh Thyme in corn bread is a wondeful thing.

This has nothing to do with cornbread, but recipes on the back of the box. The Coffee cake on the back of a Splenda box has that coffee house, old diner feel.
Maybe it's one of those simpleton recipes.
Tell me this, is there an easy way to convert Splenda packets into the correct amount of regular sugar that should be used?
Someone outta' make a chart!
The best ingredient of cornbread is the final oozing globs of butter that soak through to the bottom.

I think you'll find that there are many different opinions on what makes good cornbread. My Granny, who was raised on the Tennessee Kentucky border, always made cornbread with white corn meal and buttermilk in a cast iron skillet. She never used egg or sugar so the bread wasn't sweet and was snow white inside. She greased the pan with bacon drippings. Sometimes she'd add "cracklins" I don't know exactly what those are but I'm sure they are a pork product. My husbands family is from south Georgia has a comletely differen't recipe for cornbread. The only way it resembles my Granny's is in the absence of sugar. I'd love to see you try out a few different variations on this recipe and compare.

re: Splenda
I think the Splenda guys say you should use equal amounts. 1 Tbs. Splenda = 1 Tbs. granulated sugar. I'll check on this.
re: Varieties of cornbread
I plan to try more versions, just as soon as we finish this batch.

Regarding Cornbread, try Alton's recipe...
I can dig it up if you can't find it. I also like my cornbread on the sweet side.
Regarding splenda: I think the packets are the equivalent in sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar. If you want to use Splenda for cooking, I recommend the bulk bag or the bulk box. That kind does measure like sugar (volumetrically, of course). You can only use it for things where the sugar is mixed in - it cannot be caramelized like normal sugar, and I don't think it reduces into a syrup the same way normal sugar does.

I am not an engineer, but I like to eat. The Jiffy corn muffin mix is excellent--you can do cornbread, and it's easy,fast, and friggin' cheap. One box is approx. $1.00 up here in Seattle.
About the Splenda--I was in a grocery store the other day buying basic baking ingredients, among them sugar. I almost walked out the door with a bag of Splenda instead of a bag of "regular" sugar. So you may not have to sit around opening tiny packets all day in order to get the amount you want--for recipes that call for copius amounts of sweetner, that is.

The white/yellow sweet/salty cornbread is a north/south divide. Yankees tend to like their cornbread thick, yellow, and slightly sweet. Southern cornbread tends to be white, thin, and salty.
My favorite recipe is the Jalapeño Cheddar Cheese cornbread from Bernard Clayton's Complete book of Breads.

Really, I thought is was just the opposite. I grew up on savory cornbread in Michigan, and it wasn't until I was in Georgia that I realized sweet cornbread existed. That's where I also discovered pre-sweetened tea in restaurants.

Actually it's a real question more than a discussion matter, when religious people don't give space even to breath and of course they don't know that you are atheist, they might kill you. And here I'm talking about the Islamic society, which I live in.
I'm personally having a lot of troubles because of being atheist, can't find a way to BE FREE, I'm tired of pretending, of my mind being oppressed.
So, any one with a solution, a suggestion maybe? Any ideas??

This spot for Microsoft Surface might not be an official, company-endorsed attack ad — like Samsung's Apple bashing campaign strategy — but it sure does a great job destroying the iPad mini.
The ad was created by Cinesaurus, a Seattle-based creative team that has done work for Google and Gap, and makes fun of Apple's first iPad mini spot. After remixing the iPad's modest rendition of "Heart and Soul," the Surface literally smashes that iPad mini screen everyone has been complaining about.

Investigators found four cartons of nitrous oxide canisters inside.

Black olive caviar light bites
Makes ½ cup caviar - enough for 48 spoon-size bites
This lovely appetizer is perfect for any party. It's my favorite way to show off those unmatched sterling silver spoons from a Paris flea market. Once assembled, arrange the spoons on a tray or platter and circulate among the guests. Serve small toasts as an accompaniment.
For the caviar
One 2 ¼-ounce can sliced black olives, drained and finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste
For the other components
1 hard-cooked egg
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
½ cup creme fraiche, sour cream, or fresh white goat cheese
To make the caviar, stir together all the ingredients in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
To prepare the egg, using a fork, finely crumble the egg in a small bowl. Season to taste.
To assemble each serving, starting at the handle end of the spoon, arrange rows of about ½ teaspoon creme fraiche, sour cream, or goat cheese, about ½ teaspoon egg, and about ½ teaspoon caviar.
Pass the assembled spoons on a tray or platter. Provide a glass or other container where your guests can place the spoons once they have taken their bite.
Advance preparation
The caviar will keep for up to 2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Assemble the spoons up to 1 hour before serving; cover and refrigerate.

I remember debating the use of guns with a friend. I believed in peace. I abhorred violence. Guns symbolized
I ended up falling in love and marrying a man that was going into the military.
I supported him. I encouraged him. I understood his job.
My husband has been out of the Army for a little over 2 years now.
We celebrated Valentine's Day a day early. We went out to dinner with friends. Before that, we went to a shooting range.
I held a gun. I pulled the trigger. Unlike the time when I went to the simulator at the Army base, this gun contained real bullets.
I had no idea that I would have fun. I had a blast (pun intended). I did not imagine the happiness it would bring my husband to see me enjoying myself at the shooting range.
Love tries new things.
We laughed. We listened. We surprised each other.
I could not have imagined how much we would enjoy doing something new together.
Who knew love could grow at the shooting range?
I am thankful for my man and for our fun Valentine's date.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
You are loved.

It's not so long ago that the first graphics card touting Nvidia's GTS 450, the Asus GTS 450 TOP, passed through the TechRadar labs. When we first checked it out we quite liked it but as we said at the time: "we'd have hoped for a price tag a little closer to the £100 mark".
Well, someone was listening, because MSI's overclocked N450GTS Cyclone is within a tenner of our target. It runs at 67MHz above stock speed for a card of this ilk, with a healthy 434MHz boost to the memory speed, but the main feature is the wide windmill-like cooler. It's whisper quiet and drops the temperature down to just 27 degrees Celsius when idle.
The card itself is small and requires just a single six-pin power connector, and is more or less still price comparative with AMD's HD5770.
How does it perform?

Snacks are provided. Each session is free, but RSVP 206-842-5332, or firstname.lastname@example.com
Here's what else is happening at Eagle Harbor.
Aug. 10, 3 p.m.: Best-selling author Spencer Quinn of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, will talk about the latest in his "Chet & Bernie" mystery series, "Paw and Order." The doofy

Aug. 14, 7:30 p.m.: Whidbey Island writer Betsy MacGregor, M.D., will talk about her book "In Awe of Being Human: A Doctor's Stories from the Edge of Life and Death," a physician's reflection on living, healing and dying set amid the challenging world of hospitals and hospices, the medical professionals who work in them, and the mystery of life and death. This book delivers a tender and powerful message about what it means to be human.
Aug. 17, 3 p.m.: Bainbridge author Barbara Winther gives a presentation on her beautiful new book, which takes you to a Hopi village in Northeastern Arizona to watch a ceremonial Kachina year through the eyes of two Hopi children.

Feel the magic and beauty of the Kachina dances and learn how these messenger spirits are essential for Hopi survival.
Aug. 28: Kirby Larson, author of the Newberry Honor book "Hattie Big Sky," discusses her new middle-reader novel, about a Japanese-American family sent to an internment camp at the outset of World War II. With her family beginning to fall apart around her, daughter Mitsi Kashino, separated from her home, her classmates, and her beloved dog Dash, clings to her one connection to the outer world — the letters from the kindly neighbor who is caring for Dash.

Mystery, wit, drama, and romance share star turns in Alexei Ratmansky's original and aptly named "grand divertissement." With Édouard Lalo's lively score from a 19th Century French ballet about a slave girl named Namouna as inspiration, Ratmansky has used what he calls "the clichés of classical ballets" in a new, endlessly inventive, and light-hearted way. A large corps, intriguing dance patterns, and virtuoso soloists fill out the playful plot involving a young man searching for his love. Using the props detailed in Lucien Petipa's original 1882 production, alluring women dance for the young man as cymbals clang and a seductress tempts through a fog of cigarette smoke. Many distractions and whimsically-wigged look-alikes confound, confuse, and stand in the way before boy finally finds girl for a joyful, athletic, and romantic climactic pas de deux.

Garth Brooks Will Play Ireland Comeback Shows Despite Protests
Garth Brooks' highly anticipated comeback in Ireland is just around the corner, and despite threats of legal action against the five-night concert series at Croke Park, the shows will go on!
Local residents are the ones fighting the series of shows, saying there is an ordinance that rules the park can only have three concerts a year. Croke Park Director Peter McKenna shares that despite this, the shows are allowed and will continue.
"In my view it will go ahead and the five concerts will happen," McKenna tells the Irish Mirror.
"We had permission for the three One Direction concerts, but you are allowed to apply for a license to run other events," he explains. "That's what we've done for Garth Brooks. It's not the first time, we've applied for various different events in the past."
However, residents are really upset about this and are calling for a meeting between the council and the public to discuss the issue. Apparently one meeting was scheduled, but now the the Dublin City Council has since said there's no longer one in the books.
According to the Irish Mirror, the council writes in a letter: "There were in excess of 370 submissions/observations lodged in respect of this license application, most of which were extremely detailed in nature. Having regard to the level of detail provided in these submissions/observations it is not proposed to convene a public meeting or take oral submissions with regard to this license application."
The letter also says that they had enough information to determine that face-to-face meeting was not necessary, which obviously upset many of the residents boycotting the shows.
"They [the council] are happy to meet with the promoters but not with the residents, it is not acceptable," Pat Gates from the Croke Park Residents Association explains. "It is very emotional for us, we wanted to personally impress on the county council the impact that this has had on us, a letter is a very cold way of expressing that."
The sold-out Garth Brooks comeback shows will take place July 25-29. Roughly 400,000 people are expected to attend -- 70,000 of which aren't from Ireland.
Should Garth Brooks Give in to iTunes?

Last summer, a Spokane man named Bryan Gilbert Robb filed an insurance claim, saying that his home had been burglarized. The police report listed an $800 loss.
Robb's claim, however, totaled $26,569, most of it from computers, games and DVDs. He included several photographs of the items that he said had been stolen.
Digital cameras and smartphones typically record the date and time that an image is taken, with what device, etc. This information, which is embedded in the photo file, is called metadata.
The problem: The metadata for 7 of the 9 photos submitted by Robb showed that the images were taken after the burglary date.
Robb's company, Assurant, denied the claim and turned it over to our Special Investigations Unit, which found a very similar 2004 burglary claim at Mr. Robb's previous address. That claim reported the loss of almost identical computers, a game console and DVDs.
Robb was charged June 14 in Spokane County Superior Court with one count of felony insurance fraud and one count of second-degree attempted theft. Arraignment is set for July 1.

Computers, tablets and related accessories worth up to $750 are on Florida's tax-free list this year for the first time.
Rick and Stephanie Grinstead plan to stock up on the usual school supplies for their five children during Florida's sales tax holiday this weekend, but the DeLand couple are adding something new to their shopping list this time around.
They were surprised — and pleased — to learn while browsing through the Daytona Beach Best Buy store this week that computers, tablets and related accessories worth up to $750 are on Florida's tax-free list this year for the first time.
The Grinsteads plan to stock up on ink cartridges for the family's computer printer. "We go through ink like anything," said Stephanie Grinstead, who home schools her oldest child through Florida Virtual School.
Like many other retailers, Best Buy had large signs posted and handed out fliers to customers this week to let them know they can save the 6.5 percent sales tax on clothing, backpacks and many other items from 12:01 a.m. Friday through 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
"I imagine this will be a huge event," said Devin Albin, Best Buy's connectivity sales manager. Beginning last weekend, some customers started promising to return during the sales tax holiday to make a purchase, he said.
And reports from Best Buy stores in other parts of the country where computers and related accessories were part of past sales tax holidays prompted comparisons with the sales on the day after Thanksgiving.
"They call it like a Black Friday that lasts three days," he said of North Carolina sales associates where computer equipment worth as much as $3,500 is exempt from sales tax during designated periods.
The Florida Retail Federation of Tallahassee lobbied to have computers included in the sales tax holiday this year.
"We think it's a great deal for families," said its president and CEO Rick McAllister.
Art and Sandy Graham of Port Orange think so, too, especially for families with college-age students.
"The college kids seem so 'techie' it's not funny," Art Graham said as he and his wife browsed through the computer section at Best Buy.
Not everyone is a fan of the periodic sales tax breaks granted by several states.
"Despite their political popularity, sales tax holidays are based on poor tax policy and distract policymakers and taxpayers from real, permanent and economically beneficial tax reform," said a 2012 report from the conservative-leaning Tax Foundation of Washington, D.C. "Sales tax holidays introduce unjustifiable government distortions into the economy without providing any significant boost to the economy."
McAllister and his group maintain Florida's program stimulates sales leading up to and during the tax break holiday, including purchases that aren't exempt from sales tax.
They point to The Washington Economics Group's study of Florida's 2010 sales tax holiday that found it generated $115 million more in taxable sales compared with the same period a year earlier and overall monthly sales that were $289 million more than the original estimate.
The state collected $7 million in taxes from those sales than it would have without the holiday, according to the study.
The Florida Retail Federation is projecting sales during the three-day tax holiday will total $400 million this year compared with $380 million in 2012.
To tax or not
Florida's sales tax holiday runs from 12:01 a.m. Friday through 11:59 p.m. Sunday.
Clothing, footwear and certain accessories selling for $75 or less per item are tax exempt, not including watches, jewelry or sports equipment.
School supplies such as pens, pencils, notebook paper, folders, scissors, glue and rulers selling for $15 or less per item are tax exempt.
Personal computers for noncommercial home or personal use and certain accessories selling for $750 or less are exempt. That includes laptops, tablets and electronic book readers but not digital cameras or cellphones.

It's the end of April & the month of May is around the corner. More specifically, May the 2nd. The day our baby boy turns one. And the closer this day comes, the more emotional I'm feeling about it. You see this celebration is not only a wonderful & happy period celebrating our boy's first year of life, it also brings forth some very painful memories of the past 12 months for me. And in addition to all these memories, the day itself is extremely bittersweet as my baby is growing up & given I'm not having any more, this period & phase of my life is over. Just like that. Like a snap of the fingers, pregnancies, newborns, newborn cuddles & tiny clothes are now part of my lifes memories.
Even though it's a conscious decision to not have any more kids it doesn't mean I can't allow myself to grieve this decision or period of my life. Each time Flynny grows out of a size, I fold up the clothes ever so delicately & gently imagining the little boy in them who used to fill them, but knowing also, that he nor anybody else of mine will fill up those sleeves & pants. And it's not like he's grown out of his clothes so quickly either – he's still wearing 0-3mth tops & I just moved him up to crawler sized nappies – it matters not. The clothes are too small for him & they're put away with bigger ones put in their place. (Some days I think it's natures way of providing me with a mini boy so it would give me a 'baby' for longer & ease me into the realisation that there will be no more).
I often wonder where the days went as the past year has gone so very quickly since Flynn came into our lives. Sometimes however, I feel each & every waking minute, like when he's up in the middle of the night in pain or sick & time stands still & the days following until he gets better go ever so slowly. Thinking about him as a newborn sometimes feels like years ago & often feels just like yesterday.
I know the feelings I'm having leading up to Flynnys birthday are extremely common with those mums (or even parents) that have decided not to have any more kids, but I have a few additional things to celebrate, deal with & work through during this period.
September 2010 the wee stick went positive & in January 2011 my 20 weeks scan revealed I had a bipartite placenta, placenta previa & vasa previa the latter giving my baby a 20% chance of survival. I was prepared by my OB that I was going to be admitted to hospital early (as Orli came unexpectedly at 36 weeks & my membranes weren't able to rupture at all with the baby) & was also told that if I bled at all at any time to get to hospital immediately as the baby had to be taken out asap in order to survive. To say I was anxious from 20 weeks until 34.5 weeks until my early admission would be an understatement. I felt responsible for my placenta not protecting or giving my baby the best chance & start to life. I also knew that if I didn't get to theatre in time for the baby to come out alive, I would be responsible for it not surviving. I had ongoing internal scans to assess the baby's growth & see how the placenta was holding up & where it decided to be on any given day. I had very low amniotic fluid intake (AFI) so each leak was a worry that the babes health would be compromised. Each leak was also checked in case it was blood so there were many times I would leave my groceries mid aisle to check myself in the nearest toilet. By 34 weeks I was a mess & we went to the hospital for CTG & obs late one night. I asked the midwives if I could stay there & be admitted a few days earlier but the nurses had no reason to keep me…. they obviously had enough anxious mums on the ward already!
After a week & a half in hospital, we made it to 36 weeks & on May 2, just after 3pm, we met Flynn Jack Rozenblum. He came into the world weighing in at 2.165kgs & not requiring an urgent blood transfusion which was something we had been warned about many times over. After a few minutes of gazing at him & being relieved he was alright, he was taken to special care for observation.
Fast forward to a week of being home & we were readmitted as Flynn was having issues with feeding & was considered 'failure to thrive' only gaining 50g since discharge. The nine week admission consisted of Flynny being fed nasal-gastrically (having the tube changed each week & each time he pulled it out by accident which happened quite often), having x-rays, a barium swallow, urine & blood tests, a brain ultrasound, an ECG, an Echo, trying nine different formulas, having chronic constipation (& the many suppositories he had to help) & the violent reflux which was so very painful for him & made me feeding him completely disheartening & heartbreaking. At ten weeks of age (six week corrected), he was diagnosed with Laryngomalacia & started drinking enough to not lose any weight & we were discharged the next week. I found an amazing group of mums with beautiful Malacia kids who have provided us with advice & support as we embarked on a journey of having a son with LM & all the concerns associated with the condition. Thankfully Flynny's condition is mild but we're still having a few issues with his feeding 12 months down the track which remains one of my main anxieties.
There were days during that nine week admission that I thought I was losing it & that we would never be going home. I just could not see past being in hospital & us ever going home to Seon & Orli. In that time, I managed to keep my head above water & also dodged any PPD/PND demons that came chasing me. As I've said before, there were times I thought I was slipping, however with the help of Seon, close friends & The #PPDChatArmy I managed to keep it together despite everything going on. The difference this time round was that I knew I had bonded & loved my baby boy. No one in the world knew him better than me & our connection was forever forged. Given the circumstances, I had to continuously remind myself that I was having a normal experience in an abnormal situation & that is was the circumstances not my mental state that was affecting my mood this time round.
When I look at Flynn today I marvel at his strength & at his nature. I adore him so much that I often find myself staring at him with tears running down my cheeks. His face is so familiar (he's looking more & more like Orli), so happy, so inquisitive, so engaging & takes my breath away many times over. His smile in infectious, his nature is beautiful & he gives me joy each & every day. He is just the happiest little boy.
So as May the 2nd gets closer, I'm not only grieving that I won't be having another baby & feeling nostalgic about my baby growing up, I will also be celebrating the fact that the PPD/PND demon that robbed me of my first experience of motherhood didn't appear second time round & nothing got in the way of me bonding with & loving my son. I was able to have a better experience with my baby despite the circumstances which is a direct result of lots of hard work, hours of therapy & plenty of planning. I am also so very proud of myself for not allowing my PMD to impact our decision to not have another baby. It would have been the most tragic outcome of my PMD had it convinced me not to provide Orli with the gift of a sibling & it would have been even more heartbreaking had I allowed my PMD to rob me of the experience of enjoying & loving my baby. Not a day goes by, that I'm not reminded of just how far I've come & just how very blessed we are.
As I sit here & reminisce, reflect, gather & share my thoughts, I'm overcome with emotion about the week ahead. Many tears will flow, many memories will be revisited but I will also be constantly telling myself just how lucky & blessed we are. I'm going to allow myself to grieve the fact that my baby is growing up & won't be an older brother & I'm not going to block out any painful memories of the first three months we had together. I'm going to try really hard to live in the moment & enjoy the celebrations that come our way. I cannot imagine our lives without Mr Flynnstone nor my Flynny Floo Floo & will never ever take for granted the best birthday gift I ever got.

Thanks to our morning email update from City & State First Read, we just found out that Pol Position missed out on a Congressman Joseph Crowley annual holiday party. But this wasn't just any old party, it was a karaoke party!
That's right, some of our favorite elected officials got busy on the mic, singing, having a good time, and raising some holiday cheer, all with members of the Crowley family providing the music.
What makes this news, exactly? What, you need more than just politicians belting out their favorite hits from the 80s to pique your interest? Fine then.
It seems that Crowley could have picked a better night to hold his party, because that exact same night the Queens Civic Congress was holding their annual legislative reception, where Queens and citywide politicians mingle with the group, which is an umbrella organization of over 100 smaller Queens civic associations. Apparently some elected officials chose to go to just Crowley's party and skip the reception, which irked members of QCC.
You may be wondering just how QCC found out that some elected officials skipped its soiree and instead went to Crowley's bash at the Hall of Science? Oh goslings, how else do people find out about these things in the grand old year of 2011? Facebook, of course!
Yes, photos of the event were posted to Facebook, and some politicians in the photos were notably absent from QCC's reception, raising more than a few eyebrows over at the organization.
So is that newsy enough for you? Can we just get back to what actually interested Pol Position about the event?
It turns out that rival Democratic county leaders Vito Lopez and Crowley himself actually got up on stage and sang a duet together! We would seriously pay for video of that transpiring, but not a lot, most of Pol Position's deservedly small budget goes toward Night Train Express Wine Coolers and legal fees, but we would be eternally grateful to you, if that helps.
Now, if someone could just confirm that Crowley and Lopez sang "A Little Bit Country, A Little Bit Rock 'N' Roll" (we'll let you decide which is which), we could happily retire Pol Position forever, because nothing would top that.
