Two days after most of the Twin Cities area, including Maple Grove, received more than 10 inches of snow, traveling the roadways remained complicated in spots.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation addressed the road conditions in a Dec. 11, 2012 statement on the Minnesota Department of Transportation Facebook page:
MnDOT continues addressing the compacted snow and icy conditions on highways and interstates—particularly in southwestern/west central Minnesota and the Twin Cities Metro area. The cold temperatures are complicating our work, because salt becomes much less effective at 10 degrees or lower. Temps will warm over the next couple days, which will make the salt compounds we've been putting on the roads MUCH more effective.
County roads and city streets are having the same issue, and those public works departments are working just as hard as MnDOT to get your commutes back to good winter driving condition as quickly as possible.
In the meantime, plow drivers are out there doing everything they can to get rid of that compacted snow before your afternoon commute.
We all will be happy to see the sun (and higher temperatures) tomorrow.
"Due to the conditions in which the snow fell, under heavy traffic and then plummeting temperatures, we have ice conditions whereby the actions of deicing agents had little effect during Monday," Director of Public Works Ken Ashfeld wrote in an email to Patch Tuesday. "All roads, but mostly highly traveled roads such as State highway and County roads, are still in a relatively ice covered condition. I would expect much improvement throughout Tuesday and particularly Wednesday as temperatures rebound which allows salt to work much better."
Tuesday's morning commute resulted several accidents throughout the Twin Cities, including nearby Golden Valley at Highway 169 near Interstate 394.
Reports of accidents continued to roll in throughout the day, including two occurring over the noon hour in/near Maple Grove - one on westbound Interstate 94 at Bass Lake Road and one on eastbound Interstate 94 at County Road 81.
Road conditions are impacting local school transportation as well. Beacon Academy Charter School Principal Jordan C. Ford sent an email to families Tuesday about late buses.
"We understand the last two days have been difficult for you as the buses have been running much later than anticipated. Until the temperatures rise and the ice on the roads melt a little, you can expect the buses to continue to run late," Ford wrote.
"Double your expected commute and travel times," Lt. Eric Roeske of the Minnesota State Patrol told Patch, "and expect icy patches and slippery spots."

Specialist in Developmental Disabilities Online
About our Specialist in Developmental Disabilities Program
Niagara University's College of Education has received approval from the New York State Education Department to offer a master of arts degree in developmental disabilities. The program, which is designed for individuals who are already employed by, or who seek employment in, agencies that provide services to individuals with developmental disabilities, was developed with the guidance and expertise of community leaders in rehabilitation and independent living.
Students may choose from two concentrations. The first is for individuals who are seeking career opportunities related to working with people with disabilities and wish to establish a firm experiential knowledge and skill base. The second is designed for individuals working in the field who wish to cultivate their leadership skills with a goal to work at administrative levels within the industry.

Ready for some holiday excitement, kids of all ages? Santa will arrive on a shiny red firetruck at Golf Mill Shopping Center at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 17.
After stepping off near Entrance #8, the jolly elf will parade inside, then magically light up 11 decorated trees.
That will kick off this year's Festival of Trees giving program. Anyone who brings one or more cans (or boxes) of food can use them to vote for their favorite decorated tree. The food donations will replenish the Maine Township Food Pantry.
The day's festivities boast several free incentives which include: children's goody bags in Center Court filled with coloring books, stickers and candy canes, elf hats, cookies and refreshments, and Golf Mill coupon booklets containing 48 holiday stores savings, while supplies last.
The 3rd annual Festival of Trees is a friendly competition inviting organizations to decorate trees that will be on display next to JCPenney from Saturday, November 17 – Sunday, December 16. Families, friends and shoppers can vote for their favorite tree by donating non-perishable food items at the Customer Service Center.
Like Niles-Morton Grove Patch on Facebook for news, conversation, fun
Each non-perishable item will count as one vote. The tree with the most 'votes' wins a trophy and $100 Sears gift card. Shoppers can track the progress of donations on Golf Mill's Facebook. For every five likes an individual picture of a tree receives on Facebook, one vote will be applied to that tree's tally.
Golf Mill is excited to see the creative ideas of the participating organizations, which have each decorated a tree: Niles Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Parents & Teachers Association of Ignacy J Paderewski Polish School, Gordon Food Service Market Place, Niles Fire Department, Niles Police Department, Maine Township, Edward Jones, Saint Matthew's Lutheran Church, Niles Public Library, Saint John Lutheran Church, and Ross Dress for Less.
Monika Kalicki, Director of Marketing, says, "Golf Mill Shopping Center is energized to see this program become an annual tradition. The friendly competition brings organizations together to this year support the Maine Township Food Pantry."

GREENVILLE — Attorney Peter Schulte, who represents Rebekah Thonginh Ross, one of three people indicted in connection with an investigation of the local Child Protective Services (CPS) office, issued a statement this morning on Ross' behalf:
"Rebekah, who has dedicated the last several years of her life protecting the children of this State, is not guilty of these charges. The truth will be revealed in Court and we ask that the public withhold judgment until all the facts are known. It's disappointing that certain law enforcement officials in Hunt County and/or Austin are releasing alleged "facts" about these cases to the media that are simply not true. We have no intention of trying these cases in the news media and hope that the Government decides to follow their legal obligation to not make statements about these cases to the media outside the Courtroom."

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: One of the best products I have bought recently. It will surprise you as to what it can do and how amazed you would be. You can easily use a wireless mouse and keyboard with it. You can watch all sorts of movie formats, use web camera for skype...just a bunch of possibilities.
Cons: Power supply can become hot, it has problem with overheating, but nothing to worry about.
Other: It offers you a great chance to convert your old TV into a smart tv with a resonable budget.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Dear DX.com I want to thank you for your professional and high level of work and step by step follow up, I am sure that i will buy again from your site its good product and easy to use Kind Regards
Cons: this device include only one usb output its better to use another usb in the device it will be more use and you can use more than one device togethor mouse and keyboard
Other: the final review for this device its very good and nice device I advice all the people who like technology to buy and use this device specially who like android systems thank you again
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This is a really great device with wonderful Mali 400 GPU and a strong CPU. It has the power to do anything. *HD movies work (most of them that I've tried). You can use a player like BSPlayer which will automatically download subtitles for your movie.
Cons: This device does not have bluetooth. That is the only con that I can find. (Of course it doesn't mention having it in description, so it's just a personal opinion con). Without Bluetooth it is a bit more difficult to find a wireless keyboard for it, but not impossible.
Other: Want to turn your TV into android cheaply? This is the way to go! now you can have it for 46.40 USD!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: - Very cheap and works great - Has released root access, you can install any program and even modify system files - Is small and can run movies in full hd smoothly
Cons: - Heats up to much may hang for overheating - The processor is weak, if you open many programs the system tends to become sluggish or even stop - The micro sd should be seated until the bottom with the help of a toothpick or something to make it work - The output usb not stand an external hd without auxiliary power - The software that comes from the factory is very bad and is constantly stopping
Other: - You can restore in case of error or update the software easily by following the steps from the following site http://ak802.blogspot.com.br/2012/08/atualizando-o-android-oficial-mk802ak802.html http://ak802.blogspot.com.br/2012/09/uberoid-12.html
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Boots a nice Android on my Led TV... Wifi works OK, keyboard and mouse also works fine. I bought DROIDMOTE Server from the Google Play and I can control the gadget with my Samsung phone after some workaround! (got to install some dependences) Gmail, corporate e-mail, skype and other apps run great. Web browsing is nice, although the browser hangs a little and you have to wait till it responds, but it doesn't bother a lot.
Cons: I still don't see it stable to play movies online (that was the reason to buy it for me). Mp4 decoded movies are slow, avi too and with sound probblems. Perhaps I need to try with some other codec format?
Other: Buy it if you like to play with O.S. and gadgets! I don't find it very suitable as a media player as it is a little slow for me.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Plays almost every type of video format I tried. Just plug a keyboard and mouse and it works. No settings necessary. Good with various flash drives as well.
Cons: A little sluggish on some web pages, browser seems to freeze a lot. Wi-fi connection is not the best, either. Don't even try to stream 1080p movies from your desktop computer to it.
Other: Overall it is a good product, but since I want to be able to stream movies from my desktop PC (through UPnP/NFS/Samba), I'm thinking of buying the MK808, which has two Wi-fi antennas for better connection. It also has vents to avoid overheating, which, according to some sources, allows you to overclock the CPU to 1416MHz.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It's an really easy to use device, very compact, plug-and-play, movies play well from the SD card with subtitles.
Cons: Apps don't always show well on a big screen, now and then apps crash or freeze, wifi speed is terrible or at least streaming is'nt working well. You surely only want to watch HQ on YouTube as the big screen amplifies the quality, but it'll just keep buffering. Even streaming music via spotify is'nt working smooth.
Other: For the price you pay it's a really good device I recommend choosing the AK802 II tho, because it's slightly faster.

Pros: The package has everything you need to hook it up. It is well built. It works out of the box without any problems. It comes with Google Play. It's worth the money. Basically you get a an android platform on the TV which is much better than what smart TVs usually offer.
Cons: A bit slow. I would recommend the dual core version. Those are a few bucks more but that helps a lot.
Other: It is worth the price.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Very compact mini pc with android, it converts your regular TV via hdmi to smart TV. You can download from Play store various apps, games etc. No problem with the temperature so far, as other users reported. It can play most of the video format without any flaws
Cons: WiFi is a major issue. My TV is about 5m away from the router and the AK802 cannot login into my wifi. Sometimes for a moment it 'see' it but it vanishes again and says out of range. My smartphone and my laptop, don't have an issue to login at the same distance. Another problem is 1080p video playback, you have to find and donwnload the proper app from play store in order to be able to play these kinds of files. And after that you have to configure it properly in order to have satisfying results, maybe difficult for some users. The native app cannot play it.
Other: Overall, AK802 is a value for money buy, it has some serious isssues with Wifi reception and 1080p playback but for 46 dollars is not bad!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Bought a cheap 38 inch flatscreen for the bedroom wall,and found that as it is in an awkward place I could not hook up any dvd players etc This little device has made it the most popular TV in the house. It turns your screen into a giant Galaxy Tab !! it also has a slot that works great for movies and photos from a sd card.
Cons: The google play shop app tends to be unable to connect after it has been powered off.
Other: Get this....

Reviews for Root Beer Float Pie
Sort By :
Thought it was very good but mine was runny. Will try it again though!
A very light and refreshing pie that is easy to make. Like some of the other reviews, I may try adding additional root beer flavoring to pull the flavor out more. A keeper in my recipe box for summer time.
It's very good. I added 1/4 teaspoon root beer oil candy flavoring. Next time I think I'll add 1/2 teaspoon to increase the root beer flavor.
The root beer is not over powering, but just a perfect blend of all of the ingredients. It is quick to make and delicious to taste.
This is a really, cool, refreshing pie...I do have to agree that it isn't very "root beery" ....But, I think if any more was added, it would be too runny unless one put cream cheese in the mixture to make it thicker...

G. E. M. Anscombe
G. E. M. Anscombe (18 March 1919 – 5 January 2001), born Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe, and also known as Elizabeth Anscombe, was an Irish-born British analytic philosopher. A student of Ludwig Wittgenstein, she became an authority on his work, and edited and translated many books drawn from his writings, above all his Philosophical Investigations. She wrote on the philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, philosophical logic, philosophy of language, and ethics. Her monograph Intention (1957) is generally recognized as her greatest and most influential work.
Anscombe also supports and takes a modern approach to Virtue Ethics, an ethical theory originated in Aristotle and developed by St Thomas Aquinas which focuses on the development of a virtuous (moral) AGENT rather than on performing moral ACTS. Anscombe approved of Aristotelian thinking, especially of the concept of eudamonia and of causes rather than reasons.
|This philosopher article is a stub. You can help Wikiquote by expanding it.
- The denial of any distinction between foreseen and intended consequences, as far as responsibility is concerned, was not made by Sidgwick in developing any one 'method of ethics'; he made this important move on behalf of everybody and just on its own account; and I think it plausible to suggest that this move on the part of Sidgwick explains the difference between old-fashioned Utilitarianism and the consequentialism, as I name it, which marks him and every English academic moral philosopher since him.
- "Modern Moral Philosophy", 1958.
- Here Anscombe coined the word "consequentialism".

- Those who try to make room for sex as mere casual enjoyment pay the penalty: they become shallow. At any rate the talk that reflects and commends this attitude is always shallow. They dishonour their own bodies; holding cheap what is naturally connected with the origination of human life.

STILLWATER — Three forfeit wins even before the match started gave the impression that the Stillwater High School wrestling team was going to make quick work of Muskogee on Thursday at the Pioneer Fieldhouse.
Instead, it was the Roughers who made it look easy — recording four first-period pins in about a five-minute span to defeat the Pioneers 51-23 on Senior Night.
Missing freshmen due to freshman state put Muskogee in an early hole, said MHS coach Bobby Jefferson.
"When you give up three forfeits right at the beginning and then we get tech falled, those are the kind of matches that you don't know what's going to happen," Jefferson said. "You have 16-, 17- and 18-year-old kids and if they have a bad match, we're in deep trouble. We kind of got it rolling and we knew we had to get it rolling by 145 and we did. I was pleased with the intensity we wrestled with."
Along with forfeits in favor of Kennedy Monday, Mason Davis and Kaid Brock, Stillwater's only other points came from Joe Smith's 20-5 technical fall win over Micah Foster, as Stillwater took a 23-6 lead. Chase Soper pinned Stillwater's Homer Blair at 126 for the Roughers' first win.
Muskogee's Matt Acee at 138 decisioned Garrett Guthrie, then 160-pounder Jacobe Smith and 145-pounder Dawaylon Barnes were too much for Stillwater — which was without junior King Williams and senior Cory Revier.
"We didn't have all the bullets in the gun that's for sure," Stillwater coach Doug Chesbro said. "They forfeited some weights where we probably would have won anyway. It just wasn't our night. ... As far as a dual meet goes, that was our worst matchup kid-for-kid that we were involved in all year. We did not match up with them well at all and they wrestled really well on top of that."
Muskogee, on the other hand, got a 6-1 decision from Matt Acee at 138 pounds, before rattling off five straight falls — four of them in the first period to turn that deficit into a lead they never relinquished.
Barnes started the string of falls by pinning Beau Bigheart with 48 seconds left in the first period, while James Buckhanan, Smith and J.T. Andrews followed with pins. Stillwater's C.J. Citizen managed to make it to the second period, but eventually Haden Kolmer also pinned him to the mat with eight seconds left in the second period.
Cori Andrews at 195 won by a decision, Elijah Pettey collected a fall at 220 and Tristan Watson took an 8-4 decision at 285.

KVSC on the Big Stage
Over the weekend KVSC did something they had never done before, broadcast every game of the WCHA Final Five Tournament from the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. KVSC entered the Al Shaver Press Box with WCHA.com and Fox Sports North in providing coverage of the event. KVSC covered the St Cloud State men's hockey game Friday afternoon live on 88.1 FM and all the other games on the KVSC Sports Stream. "I felt it was important to be a part of it" KVSC Co-Sports Director Scott Gross stated, "We had the credentials and the man power to do something no one else did before us. It gave our student announcers a chance to cut their teeth if they wanted to, to cover a historic event in the final year as we know it." The current WCHA will disband into three conferences next year.
Wisconsin won the tournament and the Broadmoor Trophy for the first time since 1998 by defeating Colorado College 3-2 on Saturday night. Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota will leave the WCHA after this season to join the new Big 10 conference. St Cloud State along with Colorado College, Denver, North Dakota, Duluth and Nebraska-Omaha will leave for the NCHC.
"We got to do a lot of things no one ever though we could, or dared." Gross said, "We have so many possibilities with the sports stream and we used it to our advantage. We interviewed coaches from other colleges and attended press conferences just like the big boys. I want to personally thank Jim Gray and Jo McMullen for the green light to cover this along with our dedicated staff including Co-Sports Director Gina Carlson, Bryan Kangas, Casey Mosich and Declan Goff. We've got some sports crazies down here in the basement of Stewart Hall and with people like that, there is no telling what our future holds."

The north-bound trail trail of the Iron Dog race follows the northern route of the Iditarod sled dog race to Nome. This portion of the course has 16 checkpoints where drivers fill up their snowmachines with gas and can take a layover. Traveling north towards Nome, teams are required to make three separate regionalized layovers of eight hours each, and fourth six hour layover at any checkpoint. More populous towns such as McGrath, Galena, and Unalakleet are typical layover destinations because they have more options for food and lodging. Any checkpoint village with an airport or air strip is a good layover option as well if there is a need to have parts flown in from other areas of the state.
In Nome, teams take a 36 hour rest and also make necessary repairs to their snowmachines. Following that rest period, the race resumes. From Nome, racers re-trace their path to Kaltag, where the course changes direction on the Yukon River and heads east towards the finish line in Fairbanks. A total of 12 checkpoints are on the southbound trail. In this section of the race, there are two different layovers of 10 hours each left to take.
Top teams will stop only to fill up for gas and for their layovers. The rest of the time, it's full throttle racing. Despite a limit of 600cc for the Iron Dog's pro class, elite drivers and sleds can travel at speeds in excess of 80 miles an hour if the terrain allows them to.
The high speeds and high competitive stakes make the Iron Dog an extremely difficult event to cover from a television standpoint. The entire 2,000 mile race only takes top teams less than seven days to complete, including layovers. A TV station with three newscasts in a weekday might be reporting outdated information even if the information is only two hours old. Nome, where a 36 hour break is taken, is the best place to get a story because drivers are a little more available to talk. The race will be over two days after that.
Arctic Cat, Polaris, and Ski-Doo are the three primary manufacturers that have snowmachines entered in the Iron Dog. Polaris is the all-time leader with 13 titles, Arctic Cat has won 11, while Marc McKenna and Dusty VanMeter gave Ski-Doo its second win a year ago.
40 two person teams have signed up for the 2013 race, which begins Sunday, February 17th in Big Lake. The field includes nine drivers who have won championships previously. Defending champions McKenna and VanMeter will be back to defend their title. McKenna is a three-time champion while VanMeter has claimed four victories. The most decorated duo in the race is the tandem of seven-time champion Scott Davis and Todd Palin, a four-time winner. Davis will have a chance to break the all-time wins record that he currently shares with John Faeo. Faeo's two sons, Scott and John, Jr. are also competing as a team. Other previous winners in the field include: 2009 champions Todd Minnick and Nick Olstad, and 2010 & 2011 winner Chris Olds, who won his two titles with Tyler Huntington but will be partnered with Mike Morgan. Last year, they finished fourth as a team.
Twelve drivers in the 2013 Iron Dog will be representing rural Alaska, and more than 40 Iron Dog rookies are entered as well. A championship dup will be crowned Saturday, February 23rd in Fairbanks.

Joplin stayed within range of Hillcrest for three quarters, but in the end the Hornets outran the Eagles 62-38 in a girls Ozark Conference game Monday night at Young Gymnasium.
Brittany Fisher scored 13 points in the first nine minutes as Hillcrest overcame an early 5-4 Joplin lead. Joplin trailed 32-21 early in the third quarter and 44-31 going into the fourth quarter.
"We talked a lot, we moved our feet, we looked for the open pass and we were unselfish with the ball," said Fisher, a 6-foot-1 junior guard who had 20 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots.
Bailey Taylor led Joplin with 12 points, including two 3-pointers in the first half, and Kelsey Johnson and Danielle Hollingsworth each scored 10 points. Hollingshead led the Eagles with seven rebounds.
Fisher's 3-pointer gave Hillcrest a 19-8 lead with 1 minute, 4 seconds left in the first quarter. From there, the two teams traded baskets until Taylor's second 3-pointer of the half pulled Joplin to within 27-15 just before halftime.
Hillcrest (12-9 overall, 4-2 in the conference) outrebounded the Eagles 37-27, including four offensive rebounds apiece by Fisher and Kristin Todd.
"The big focus was rebounding," said Hillcrest head coach Jeni Hopkins. "We wanted to switch up defensively and crash the boards. Everybody individually had a goal for rebounds, and having something to concentrate on was a key. Rebounding was huge."
Hillcrest's big run came in the fourth quarter when the Hornets allowed only a 3-pointer by Johnson during a 6 1/2-minute span when they outscored the Eagles 16-3.
"We have to maintain a level of energy and focus, especially on defense," said Eagles head coach Dustin Larsen.
Johnson made three of six 3-point attempts, including one midway through the third quarter that started a 10-6 Joplin run that included baskets by Samantha Stout, Taylor and Megan Ritter.
Joplin travels to Springfield on Thursday to face Kickapoo in another Ozark Conference contest.

... a call for US military intervention in Syria that's straight out of the neocon playbook. What could go wrong?
Earlier this week, an open letter was released by a hawkish group of pundits and foreign policy analysts urging President Barack Obama to immediately take military action against the Syrian regime, warning that if he doesn't, weapons of mass destruction could fall into the hands of "terrorists," and that the US "must play a more proactive role than it has heretofore in ensuring the end of the Assad regime."
Who are the 62 signatories? They're the people who brought you the Iraq war. Among the signers are Karl Rove, J. Paul Bremer, Fouad Ajami, Doug Feith, Danielle Pletka, and Michael Ledeen, all pundits or officials who insisted the Iraq war was vital to securing America's interests. Nearly 10 years ago, they promised those interests would be secured by a short, low-cost invasion that would replace Saddam Hussein with a US-friendly democracy.

Is it the Steam Box or not? Q&A with Xi3
David Politis from Xi3 talks about the partnership with Valve and the company's Steam-focused PC.
My cpu heatsink is bigger than this thing, magic doesn't exist, smaller is less power.
i rather spend $1000 on a GTX titan than spend $900 on this crap
As long as it does not force constant online drm, this could be good in 2-3 yrs (kinda pricey). For that price, I can build a smoking PC right now.
Haha, guy didnt know what the dedicated video memory is... no comment, and graphics with 384 shaders? Thats something like GT 640m, well... nothing special
Interesting! Does it come with an Operating System? :-)
specs will be poop to only have a tdp of 40w
ill stick with my computer...but i have to admit, this does look very interesting
So it uses around the same as 1 or 2 CPUs depending on the model.
So it is sort of the SteamBox, as it is the roumor (but not what we expected) it is the SteamBox but it can just be used as other things not just dedicated to Steam.
Will it have 3rd party compatibility. Making it easy to port games made for Xbox, PS3 and PC. One of the leading factors in the death of earlier consoles. What OS will it run?
I really like the idea that you can upgrade this thing. Still hoping high end steambox doesn't go overt 400$
If it's over $400 at launch, it won't attract any dedicated PC gamers, because I can simply plug my current laptop into my TV with the same results. And non-PC gamers will not be interested in an unproven piece of hardware that's more expensive than what they currently have.
thats funny it looks almost like the dang ouya!!!
Maybe they'll have a steam sale ha
@pinkgecko indeed
So... is it the steam box or not? That's the head you put on the article, where's the damn answer?
I can see myself buying this day 1. Never played PC games, think this would be a good start.
People seem to be missing the point a little. First this is not the steam box valve have said so this is a 3rd party who has come up with a very cleaver little PC that is made in a new stream lined manner. valve are working on there own and i am sure they have a few more manufacturers in the pipeline too (looking at you alienware). Its a very clever way of doing things in a versatile way and to everybody's needs, so will to come in a "range" of spec's, they have already said they have 3 types with the "piston" being aimed at gamers and i am sure they have another few generations of this thing in the pipeline to keep gamers happy. For god sake Razer have just released a tablet with an i7 and GT 650 in it, i would have laughed 2/3 years ago at somebody telling me that.
And for the PC heads who are saying its not for me its not aimed at you its aimed at you mate's who does not have a PC. With Steam, Choice in OP system Win/Lynx, Range of Upgradable Products, Made by a number of Manufacturers you will soon have loads more buddies popping up when this opens the flood gate of steam across the living rooms of the world as this becomes the "console" alternative!
Valve know that Millions of Gamers are about to make a choice in where they put their money, 500 on the new console or 600-700 for a alternative gaming device like PC/MicroPC/GamingTab.... Fanboys will stick to which ever faction they happen to choose but the problem with consoles is the generation freeze in tech. You have brought into a new system for 5-7-10 years (who knows it keeps getting longer) with no chance of system improvments. With PC's and this new concept of micro modular PCs we have the possibility of even cheaper games (PC pay by far the less for games because of websites like steam/GOG..). I already made that choice 12 months back after 10-12 years in console world away from PC for simple ease of use, now software does the donkey work so much better than the old days (i didn't even have to set the voltage on my motherboard on install oh the joy!). Over the few steam sales that i have used i have amassed a good size library of titles for a fraction of what i would have if it was the same titles on console (some of which i had already got on xbox). Just comparing graphics or gameplay on a major title like BF3 you suddenly see what your missing out on compared to the PC market and how much the tech is keeping things back.
All in all this is win win for Valve and news that will be making Sony & Microsoft both very very nervous.
omg amazing
Cannot wait for this I love Steam!
Ahh.. So this might be the real modular "console".
This is just as portable as any handheld device! Time to start saving up.
1 of the best thing about this is we don't have to go out & buy games they're already there for you waiting for you to buy
Nice concept, and if it can use a cloud service (meaning that it could play games on max possible settings running on servers somewhere) then it may be the future. But for now PC gamers know that 999 bucks buys more capable hardware, size and power usage arent priorities with PC gamers. And ebay allows PC gamers to sell old hardware and get money back and ultimately be green. And any PC these days will be useful for years to come one way or another for browsing, htpc, juke box, old pc games, old console emulation so the idea that people just throw away old PC hardware when they get new up to date stuff isnt strictly true.
I must admit, if you can use it and not use so much power, like he said, what 40 or 80 watts, and you can upgrade and not have to worry about them just throwing away the board, Ill pay the 1000, if it has the right games and it works, Ill get this instead of the PS4... Ill still have computer but Ill throw money at them.
i have to say this looks cool for 500 but not a 1000 it has about the same amount of processing cores as a 560ti ill stick with my 3770k and gtx680, just wondering what the next xbox and ps3 stats will be sure the cpu will be around there hope they have a least 4gigs of ram but hope for 8, and they'll have some 3 year old gpu tech for alot less than 1000 but you cant upgrade this and a consoles shelf life is much longer than a pc. but damn this thing is small and it dont us much power plenty of usb 3.0 slots. but who is this for people who dont have gaming rigs, well the reason they dont have one is the price so how are most people gonna afford 1000, and the people who play pc games will want more power, gpu seems to be lacking but it does look cool and ill have to see more detailed spec on it well thats my 2 cents
you have to be kidding yourselves! wait until you see WHAT games it offers and see the gameplay at work. I bet there will be at least TWO MODELS available: the ULTRA ( for hard core graphics, everything maxed out) and the CASUAL (medium graphics, just to get the game running). wait and see! the more noise they make about how great it is, the more disappointing it will be....thats how it is these days!
This is a very interesting form factor.
and there u have it again! UPGRADING UPGRADING UPGRADING!...this is why Consoles are far greater...yes the quality of graphics will be better achieved with PCS, but when it comes cost vrs graphics, COST will always come on top and graphics can be compromised a little. I hate PC for that matter , the COST of upgrading is absurd...you watch, you get one of these boxes and it will have its own custom made parts which will take the monopoly and you wont be able to do your own upgrading which would save you a little bit of money...GOOD LUCK to those whom get sucked in.
Fascinating. Too soon to make any judgement though...
Will keep my eye on it.
can a 2 inch fan cool this when it works ?
Considering everyone is freaking out about the size of it and it's capabilities, remember that we have microprocessors small enough to fit underneath your retina and output a decent amount of processing power. The size isn't what should concern us, what concerns me is the amount of space the SSD has. If all my games are going to be stored on the Piston it'll need some decent space, unless it allows for a external hard drive to be connected and games be stored on it.
@ChaosUndivided Disregard this if I'm wrong, but I thought to have 3rd party compatibility, you'd need to have permission from xbox AND Ps3, which both are different competing companies that would NEVER allow for their games to be used on anything but their own consoles...companies are in for the most profit. Then again, I haven't been reading up on all this in a while...
@Gamer_4_Fun Don't get yer hopes up.
@cursealoud The $999 price tag wasn't for piston. It was for a power user version. I bet the piston will be right around the same price as competitor game consoles. All these new technologies coming out are making the old guard (Nintendo, Sony, and microsoft) look so outdated. I really think the next console war will be devestated for some.
@DR-ZMBK You will soon have a few options with how you can use a PC. With the option of a new build, one of these official 3rd party developments or the official steam box thats is still to be seen. All of which compared to the next PS4/Xbox let you have an upgradable future and far cheeper games its a great time to try PC gaming
@cube-gage Yes there are a lot of console fanboys out there though that will buy this. As a gaming PC owner I have no interest in this what so ever. Did you hear the part about 384 cores? Considering my gtx 670 overclocked only gets about 60fps on GW2 maxed I can't imagine this thing doing any kind of decent resolution on anything more than low settings, when it is about 20% as powerful as a gaming PC.
@joju_australia A lot of people, including myself, really like working on or building computers. If you do it yourself it really isnt that expensive. You can build a very technology forward computer for around 1k. You might say that is expensive. But let's not forget that Mr. Softy and Sony will not even come close to meeting demand when the new consoles drop, which means you probably have to buy it 2nd hand and for a big mark up. I remember PS3s were selling for $1000 easy when they 1st came out.. i dont recall xbox 360s, i think they werent as bad as PS3.
@joju_australia What you are saying makes no sense. You already have a computer. Why not just get a good video card for equal to or less than the cost of a console and have yourself a far superior gaming platform? If you're worried about cost, the cost of PC games is lower than that of console games, so you'll be saving money every time you make a game purchase as well.
??? You make no sense, one, you don't have to buy this crap box, it will NOT be the future, two, you are playing with a console that is 10+ generations behind us PC gamers, three, YOU console gamers upgrade your entire systems every 4 years, I don't see how you have it better then us, keep playing with your toys, but keep your idiotic replies to yourself. Four, My last upgrade was a motherboard, 8 core amd cpu, and 8gigs of the fastest ram at the time, cost me 300 dollars, kept the four year old 800 gb HDD, the older but still playing any game at max settings 9800gtx+ oc graphic card, the 4 year old corsair PSU and case, the dvdrom etc etc etc.....so again, how do you barbaric device having people have it better?
@joju_australia But you also have a computer along with your console. So why not just make your PC powerful so that it lasts 4 years without upgrading?
@flyingkalymnian The whole design is one giant heatsink working on 20v so probably ye
@xxalucard66xx And how long before that SSD reaches its read/write limit and fails? How much is a replacement for the most important part of that machine?
@terminus @joju_australia Actually the current crop of consoles have a ten year lifespan. also, you say10 gens? so that means you had to upgrade 10 times since the current consoles came out? Not very efficient.
The fact is. if you had a machine that could play everything at max settings at the time the xbox 360 came out You would have had to upgrade it several times since then to maintain that capability. Thats the point. in the length of time a console remains viable, on the pc side if you waited that same length of time you'd be better of getting a new machine anyway. in the mean time you have a system that you don't need to do a damn thing with inorder to play the latest games except buy the games.
All this does is shift the burden of graphical power from the consumer to the devolper. Instead of having devs just go hog wild with graphics and say, "eh, they can upgrade if they want to play", it forces them to actually learn and get creative to make their games look better. to clean up their code, find little tricks and things to push the capabilities of their engine to the max. It promotes innovation. It's not just throwing a bunch of cores and ram at it. it's saying, "This is your limit, what can you do within that?" and devs have risen to the challenge bigtime.
@jamesbigmac @joju_australia agree! ...there is still a lot of questions to be answered and as a consumer, it would be prudent to wait and see. Also, if you are a PC gamer, THIS sound like the best way to merge the experience!
@lucutisborg @xxalucard66xx Precisely! I guess only time will tell.
@joju_australia @jamesbigmac no i'd rather just take that $1000 and build a sweet little mini atx comp for the living room. I dont need a computer that fits in my pocket. I have lots of living room space haha
@xxalucard66xx @lucutisborg on the web site you can get extra HD space from a little box that connects under neither looks swish, i assume it will be usb3

Freezing cold waiting for a train when all you want to do is get home after a long day at work.
was the story last night for thousands of Metro-North commuters when
the railroad experienced a temporary shutdown due to signal issues.
Metro-North first reported the stoppage at 8:20 p.m. — after the peak
rush hour time, but still early enough to affect thousands of people.
Harlem and New Haven Line service is currently stopped due to signal
issues," the railroad said. "Appropriate personnel are responding. We
will provide additional details as they become available."
The standstill lasted nearly two hours, according to Metro-North. And commuters let their feelings be known on Twitter.
"It's been steadily going downhill. Every day you think it can't get worse & bam new issue. 7 yrs commuting."— Alysia Morris.
"This is turning into a full time job just Tweeting about MN in meltdown." — CT Rail Commuters.
"Time to tell the @CTDOT_Statewide to hold @MetroNorth accountable for all these service disruptions." — John Sini tweeted @senatorduff.
"I moved from NYC to Stamford in Sept. I plan on moving back because of how bad my commuting experience has been with @MetroNorth." — Pablarberblah tweeted @jahimes (Congressman Himes).
also prompted U.S. Rep. Jim Himes (D-4) to get involved. This morning,
as Metro-North's New Haven Line continued to experience delays of up to
15 minutes due to weather conditions, Himes released the following
"Metro North's string of accidents and delays is
simply unacceptable. From the recent dangerous crashes and derailments
to yesterday's infuriating delays — and especially the lack of
information given to passengers stranded on trains between stations for
hours — Metro-North needs to reassess its priorities and operations."
electrical problems are also a clear demonstration of the cost of not
investing in our transportation infrastructure, but money is not the
only issue. This is no way to run a railroad," Himes
continued. "Individuals lose valuable time, we as a society lose
productivity, and businesses lose money when the trains don't run on
"I spoke with Metro-North President Howard Permut last
night and expressed to him the frustrations of my constituents and the
urgency needed to handle this matter. I look forward to hearing
from Metro-North on how they plan to keep riders better informed during
what should be infrequent disruptions of service and how they plan to
improve the safety of this essential transit system," he concluded.
actually started off with delays up to 30 minutes for New Haven Line
commuters. Electrical issues and wire damage caused by the sub-zero
temperatures were the culprit, Metro-North said.
Are you a rail commuter? What's your overall opinion of Metro-North?
The (Same Old) Story of Metro-North's 'Infuriating' Delays
Train service came to a standstill for nearly two hours last night, on a day that started with delays. And today, more delays on the New Haven Line.

Not investing in the infrastructure? That's what you deduce mr himes, when a computer system fails? I thought obamacare 'glitch' was a computer issue as well? Was that a funding problem? Maybe Jim Himes can also include 'inequality' and blame the Tea party for the train delays? Then he'd be complete on all the touchstones. Computer glitches on trains are now infrastructure issues. These people are insufferable getting out their weary rhetoric.
Diane Wilkinson Trefethen January 25, 2014 at 06:12 PM
This story could just as easily been written in 1958 when the line was called the New York, New Haven & Hartford. "Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose''

The 747-8 Intercontinental, Boeing's largest-ever passenger airplane, takes off for the first time from Paine Field in Everett, Washington state on March 20, 2011. US aerospace giant Boeing's newest and biggest jumbo jet, the 747-8 Intercontinental, made its first flight on Sunday near its headquarters in Seattle. The new version of Boeing's classic double-decker 747 took off at 9:58 am (16:58 GMT) from the Paine Field air in Everett, Washington state, in a ceremony attended by thousands of workers and guests. Boeing's largest passenger plane, the 747-8 can carry 467 passengers in a three-class configuration and is designed for long-haul routes. The plane is a longer and more fuel-efficient update of Boeing's double-decker 747 jumbo jet, and will compete with European rival Airbus's A380, the world's biggest passenger plane. The double-deck A380 entered service in 2007 and can carry 525 passengers in the same configuration. (MARK RALSTON/AFP/Getty Images)

I do not believe in love. Why you may ask? I'll tell you why.
Love is insanity. It will make you do things a normal person would not. Love will make you drain a retirement account and give it to a woman to redo her home. Then, it leaves you with bitterness as she promptly dumps you when the 401(k) has been tapped.
Love will make a battered woman return to her husband time and time again even though he has beaten her so bad that he has ruptured both her eardrums.
Love will also make you step all over a good thing, viz. Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind. All I can say is that Scarlett had shit for brains when it came to ol' Rhett.
I must also admit that I have been in love, and I have been just as stupid as these folks. Throw in the terrible pain, and I can tell you that I never ever want to be in love ever again. I hate it.
Love is bullshit. It lies. It tells you that your beloved is better than all the others in the world. And nothing is more tragic than when love is not returned but exploited. I have seen with my own eyes heartless men and women who think nothing of taking advantage of someone in this awful state.
When you come out of love, you see how stupid you were. You realize the flaws in the person that you loved, and there was no way they could ever be what you expected them to be. And if you been fucked over pretty hard, you will see how utterly complicit you were in the exploitation.
What is my advice? Don't ever fall in love. If you find yourself getting into this situation, get out of it as quickly as you can. Save yourself the pain. 9 times out of 10, it won't be worth it.
Some of you folks will decry my cynicism on this. You will cite examples of great love. Well, here's a great example of love--Paul and Linda McCartney. That is a true and inspiring story of love there. Now, fast forward to Paul and Heather McCartney. I know way more Paul and Heathers than Paul and Lindas. I bet you do, too.
When love ends, there is a lot of anger. There is a feeling of betrayal. Sometimes this is warranted. Other times it isn't. This is when love turns destructive and violent. This is when cars get stolen and rammed through the front of a store. (Those who know me will have a good laugh about this.) But this anger comes from a shattered fantasy. So, let me help you out if you are coming out of love. You will be happy again.
I do not believe in love, but I do believe in happiness. You can't find that happiness in another person. It's really unfair to think otherwise. I know I can't make anyone's dreams come true, and they certainly can't do that for me. But I can pursue my own dreams and do my own thing. This is where I have found happiness.
I believe that love and happiness are incompatible. To this day, I have felt more positive emotions regarding one night stands than I have any relationship I have been in. Sex without love is a wonderful thing. Don't let anyone tell you any differently.
