For progressives in 2010, Lexington, Kentucky, was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal election cycle. In the second-largest city in the same state that elected Tea Party–favorite Rand Paul to the U.S. Senate, Jim Gray, a social progressive, was elected mayor, beating incumbent Jim Newberry by 7 points and carrying more than 200 of the city's 287 precincts.
Besides being the first time an openly gay man has been elected as a big-city mayor in the South, what makes Gray's victory especially remarkable is that he won with the help of Rand Paul voters. "We were able to use the Rand Paul candidacy to provide Jim Gray the political equivalent of a basketball pick," says Dale Emmons of Emmons & Company, the campaign's chief strategist. The Tea Party's general outrage against government gave Gray an opening to take shots against the guy at the top: Newberry.
A breakdown of results by city council district shows that Gray carried a number of districts that went for Paul. The 6th District, where Paul beat his Democratic opponent, Jack Conway, 51 percent to 49 percent, Gray edged Newberry 50.4 percent to 49.6 percent. The conservative 10th District gave Paul a 10-point victory over Conway—and Gray carried it by 4 points. In the city's most conservative district, the 12th, Paul crushed Conway by 24 points, yet Gray lost by only 6 points— and even carried twelve of the district's precincts.
Lexington's municipal elections are nonpartisan, with the top two finishers in the May primary competing in a November runoff. Gray lost the primary to Newberry by 8 points, and polls showed him down 13 points going into the general, making his ultimate win all the more impressive.
The path to Gray's victory began when Emmons was hired as the campaign's general consultant following the primary defeat. In this role he was responsible for devising a new strategy and hiring the campaign team to implement it. Emmons, an old friend of Gray's, had grown concerned during the primary that Gray was not fighting back when Newberry attacked him over his attendance record at city government meetings and called Gray to tell him so. "I just didn't understand what they were doing," Emmons recalls.
Gray replied that his pollster had assured him there was no need to respond because he was up by over 10 points. As it turned out, Gray's lead wasn't as safe as it seemed. Chastened by the primary results, Gray decided to hand the keys for the general to Emmons, whom he once described as "the Obi-Wan Kenobi of Kentucky politics" for his uncanny ability to anticipate moves by political opponents.
Emmons in turn brought in new team members including pollster Mark Mellman, media consultant Doc Sweitzer and field organizer Lisa Tanner. Jamie Emmons, Dale's son, left his post with the Kentucky state House speaker to become campaign manager. In addition, a small group of local staffers remained from the primary.
The message
Through focus groups and research the campaign learned that even though Gray had been vice mayor of Lexington since 2006, people didn't know much about his accomplishments—for instance, that he had transformed his family's struggling construction business into a successful enterprise with annual revenues of $500 million. Or that, under his leadership, Gray Construction had helped build plants for Toyota, BMW and Toshiba and helped bring thousands of good jobs to Kentucky. Emmons and media consultant Sweitzer agreed that the campaign needed to tell this story.
Polling on the "right track/wrong track" question showed that, while a majority of Kentucky voters thought the state was on the wrong track, a majority in Lexington felt the city was going in the right direction. "We needed to show Jim Gray had the credentials to take over the government and lead it, and we also needed to show people in Lexington why they needed to replace Mayor Newberry," Emmons says. "Jim Gray told Lexington they needed a businessman running their government. He said he could
use the same skill set he had used to build his family business to create good jobs."
The campaign's research also identified wasteful spending as the top issue for voters. In this vein, Emmons focused on two items Mayor Newberry was touting as achievements and cast them in a new, unflattering light. The projects were a costly road reconstruction project, which had closed a major downtown street for close to a year, and a new water plant, which had come with a hefty rate hike.
"A Fresh Start for Lexington" became the campaign's new theme. Illustrating it was a full-color, forty-page booklet that detailed Gray's private-sector job-creation record and his "plan for putting Lexington back in business." Underscoring Gray's commitment to local industry, the booklet was clearly labeled: "Designed and Printed in Lexington."
Getting the message out
In the primary, Gray's largely self-funded campaign split a total media budget of $220,000 equally between mail and television, but in the general the campaign spent ten times as much on television as on mail. Such unusually high spending on television in a municipal election was necessary to stand out in a busy campaign cycle, with plenty of ads being run by candidates in competitive U.S. House and Senate races. "We were in a war zone, and the noise was loud," says Emmons. "We simply had to increase the gross ratings points to be heard."
Gray was up on television before Labor Day with early positive messages and had the airwaves to himself for three weeks before Newberry joined in. That three-week period gave Gray a golden opportunity to define himself. Later, Emmons and media consultant Sweitzer would define Gray's opponent.
With such a heavy television presence—and a largely self-funding candidate—a campaign might be tempted to let the spots do the talking. But Emmons—and the candidate himself—were determined to do everything 100 percent right and leave nothing to chance.
In particular, Emmons felt that Gray's presence and delivery could be improved and brought in New York City–based public speaking consultant Maxine Albert of Peak Communication Advantage to work with him. After observing Gray interact with people one on one and in front of a crowd, she recognized that he was outgoing and friendly in person but froze when he had to speak in public.
"He needed to connect with that part of himself that was able to sell his expertise to some of the toughest negotiators on earth, which is what he did in his business," says Albert.
As a result of this work, Gray learned to engage his audience—not just asking for their vote, but inspiring their support. In addition, Albert and her team of writers crafted a stump speech that incorporated Gray's message and story and rehearsed it with him until he had it down. "She supplied the foundation for everything Jim said in the rest of the campaign—the debates, house parties, even fund-raising," says campaign manager Jamie Emmons.
Gray ended up spending $900,000 of his own money out of a total campaign budget of $1.3 million. Although he could have paid for the entire campaign, fund-raising was seen as a key element in building his coalition. "Wealthy candidates usually forget to give ownership to others," Emmons says. "They think they can write a check—Jim didn't do that." Gray's schedule always included ample fund-raising time. "This gave the community ownership," says Emmons. "It also helped us gauge whether voters were buying what we were selling."
The campaign's August tracking polls showed Gray rising and Newberry flagging. During the final two weeks of the campaign, Gray delivered a one-two punch and pulled ahead. His campaign hammered Newberry with an ad on the "$7,000-a-foot" road reconstruction project described above, hitting the wasteful spending theme. At the same time, it rolled out endorsements from the Central Kentucky Labor Council and public employee unions including those representing the police, firefighters and corrections officers.
So what about the two elephants in the room: Jim Gray's sexual orientation and Rand Paul's strong, Tea Party–fueled candidacy? In the primary, there were two instances where Newberry pronounced Gray's last name as "Gay," once in a forum and once on the radio. Newberry acted as if these were inadvertent mispronunciations and never apologized. Newberry's supporters made numerous attempts on talk radio to provoke a debate over Gray's sexual orientation, but Gray's team members were careful not to take the bait. "Our attitude was his personal life is not an issue," says Emmons. "We kept on message that the issue was the need to stop wasteful spending, fix the traffic mess and put an end to government corruption."
As for the Rand Paul voters, focus groups conducted by the Gray campaign showed that supporters of Rand Paul and Andy Barr (the GOP/Tea Party candidate for the congressional seat including Lexington) were receptive to Gray's message—that he was a businessman who would get control of government spending and end waste and corruption. The Gray campaign "decided early on we would engage with anybody and everybody who was likely to go vote," says Emmons. When Gray's field workers saw Rand Paul's lawn signs, they knocked on the doors and talked to those voters, an approach that bore fruit in November, when Kentucky voters elected Rand Paul along with a gay Democrat.

Diner Reviews
i highly recommend this place. it
was clean and after going to a hookah bar 20 mins away, i looked on google for others in the city, and this place had 22 comments, mostly good, which is why i chose this place. me and my fiance had a good time, great service, she loved the food, i found it just okay, and compared to Indianapolis, the prices were a tad higher, but not enough for me to not go back, my city is just cheaper. if the bathroom was clean i would say this place was perfect, but my fiance said she had to squat, and to us, its was like someone having on all a Gucci attire, but Shaqs on their feet....."
Dined on 3/8/2014
everything was ok except for
customer service. The food was awesome, but the waitress was nowhere in sight. She didn't check on us to make sure everything was ok or refill my glass of water. I had to tapped the front desk receptionist and some one that was bartending to get my glass of water refilled AND even to get the Bill brought to my table of company because the waitress was not doing her job. It was my birthday, and I felt let down by customer service so your products (hookah/food) is the only reason I would come back."

I had a pretty great time here.
The atmosphere was great and so was the hookah. I loved the variety of flavors of both the hookah and mixed drink items. Great choices."

Restaurant was very well taken
care off,service was great.not pricey.Average meal costs about 11 dollars.Lots of hookah flavors to choose from.Overall it's a nice restaurant to go to and have a great time with friends."

Have been to many Hooka
establishments..and by far this one had to be the rudest slowest service I have ever had. the waitress had the persoanlity of a ZOMBIE and slower then molasses and a cold winter day. But I came to smoke, well they coudl not even get that right. I make a better one at home so it was embarassing taking a party of 6 and the only topic was how bad the whole affair was .. WE finally left and went to and italian Restaurant ate drank smooked cigars. Do your selves a favor go where they appreaciate your business. ....."

Definitely a place to go to more
than once, I absolutely love the vibe of this place & great music!"

Hubble Hookah is a GREAT place to
go, whether you're going with only one person or a group of friends. It could be a perfect place for a date OR a hang out. The hookah is great and they have some pretty good food as well. So it's basically a place where you can dine, drink, AND smoke some hookah! It has a great mood, and a nice, modern look. They also play great music that goes well with the mood of the restaurant. I definitely recommend this place! :D"
Dined on 7/2/2013
Came here for a late night snack
and a drink. Our service was prompt and friendly. Their menu is contemporary middle eastern. We had hummus and calamari, which were both amazing! Their cocktail and beer menus are out of this world. Very extensive craft beer list that is hard to find in this neighborhood. They are open late until 2am on the weekends. They were busy, but we didn't feel neglected at all. We will be back to try a hookah and some of their entrees next time."
Dined on 5/20/2013
Loooove this place! Can't find
anything wrong with it..love the food,drinks, service, ambiance,am the hookah andd specially the feel..you just feel automatically comfortable once you step in.highly recommend it.it usually gets full when I been there, (Friday, Saturday) so I would recommend if you come with a group to make reservations..OPEN TABLE is great and a must, specially because they open so late you want to be sure that once they open they receive your reservations asap as this is the place to totally be.Food is amazing I recommend the chicken artichoke pita w pita chips..everything is delicious and fresh though.I'm not usually a drinker but wow these drinks are great..apple martini is my recommendation."
Dined on 2/2/2013
This place is full of semi-sexy
FUN (it's a hookah spot) for groups and dates! Food is great. The beer list is awesome! If you're lucky enough to hear the music, that's also enjoyable. I'm scared to give a good review for this place, because it already gets super packed... OpenTable might make it impossible to get a reservation on a Friday or Saturday night. Oh well, the risks you take. Only thing, wish they would take the time to update their website. Love this place!"
Dined on 1/19/2013
The inside was just about as cold
as it was outside.. & I had to keep waiving over the server to order more drinks.. But the hookah was relaxing as the alcohol took effect & my bf & I played some Uno... We probably won't be back but it was nice."

|Museum to celebrate 15th anniversary event
In celebration of its 15th year, the Northwoods Children's Museum (NCM) is offering free general admission to anyone in the community from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, April 18.
NCM opened its doors April 18, 1998, and since then has provided a wide variety of family programs and events, hands-on exhibits and an educational toy store for families in the North Woods.
"This museum is the only children's museum in a rural community of this size in the United States," said Rouleen Gartner, NCM executive director. "So we really believe that the museum is owned by the community."
Joy Long was the visionary behind the museum and,
together with her husband Mike, brought their dream to a reality and served as co-administrators until 2007. The museum is governed by a volunteer board of directors and is currently headed by Gartner who started with the museum more than 12 years ago.
"It has been so rewarding to be able to continue the tradition of this great community resource," stated Gartner. "My kids have grown up at and with the museum. I know there are many more families that can also say this."
The NCM serves more than 26,000 visitors each year, facilitates field trips for students that may come from more than three hours away, offers 23 interactive and educational exhibits in a non-threatening environment, and administers programs and events, many of which are free of charge.

KENNEWICK, Wash. - Patrol officers rely on a high-tech piece of equipment to catch drivers speeding. It's called a 'speed detection device' and Thursday morning Benton County Sheriff's deputies made sure their machinery was up to speed.
Officers use their speed detection devices every single day. And there's a lot of science behind that technology. The speed detectors in Benton County Sheriff's vehicles use 'doppler' technology. It measures the frequency of an object based on its distance, whether that's in front of or behind a patrol car. On Thursday, one technician went through every single device checking to make sure the frequency was accurate.
"We either send them in for repair or if they're not repairable, we take them out of service. The last thing we want to do is issue a citation for speed with faulty equipment," said
At times people do attempt to get out of speeding tickets by claiming the speed detector was inaccurate. In Benton County each device is checked once per year and given a new certification that it's working properly. That document can be used in court if someone claims the detector is off, which means you'll still get stuck with that ticket.

Found this 16.9 oz. brown bottle for just $1.97 at Sal's Liquors in Addison, IL. Nice looking Gothic style printing on the label, but almost couldn't make out the name of the beer due to the Gothic lettering. Had they not printed the story about Gediminas, founder of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, on the back label, I would never have figured out this beer started with the letter "G". There are also days and months and years marked on the back label, but since nothing is notched out, I have no idea when the beer was bottled, or if it was suppose to have a freshness date etched into it.
The beer poured a nice medium gold with a two finger white head that lasted about a minute but then left no lacing.
The beer had a pleasant lager smell with a touch of honey sweet malt and a whiff of floral and herbal hops.
The taste starts out with a touch of sweetness, but then - whoa! Something awful hit my tongue. One reviewer said he sensed a lighter fluid smell to the beer. I didn't pick that up in the smell, but it sure hit me in the taste. Not that I've ever tasted lighter fluid before, but I have a feeling that if I had, it would have taste something like this. Maybe it was just some bitter hop variety that I never tasted before, but whatever it is, I don't like it. It didn't balance out the sweet honey flavor, it killed it.
The beer has a medium body to it with low to moderate carbonation.
As for drinkability, it's a two sided coin. I intended on giving it a 1.0 for awful, but because I didn't think I would finish it, I let it sit for awhile and took what I thought would be my final sip about 5 minutes later. To my surprise, after warming up a bit, most of the lighter fluid taste had gone and it wasn't that bad. This goes contrary to my experience with lagers. I usually like to drink them as cold as I can get them and then drink them quick as I don't like their flavor as they warm up, but here this one actually tasted better warmed up a bit, so I knocked the score up to 3.0 (average).

Poured from a brown 16.9 oz. bottle. Has a rich golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is malty, a bit of sweetness. Taste is malts grains, refreshing, a touch of sweetness, crisp and easy drinking. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a fine pale lager.

2.63/5 rDev -14.1%
Label has numbers "07 08 09" in sequence, but none are notched. May be 2 years old at the very least, or old labels.
"Grand Duke Gediminas, the founder of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, was a famous connoisseur of fine food and drink. He would applaud the exquisite taste of this high-quality beer named after him." Gedimino: It makes dead historical figures hypothetically applaud your beer.
High clarity gold with a sunny orange glow when held to to the light. Visible streams of languid carbonation drift upwards. A thin skim of white foam settles out rapidly, leaving little to no lacing.
Buttery aroma, sweet corn and grains, mineral spring water.
Diacetyl, astringent at first, buttered bread taste. Finish has a lingering odd flavor, but the diacetyl eventually overwhelms any nuance as it warms. All butterscotch... carbonated butterscotch at that. Going to pour this out. Not recommended.

500ml bottle.
It pours a pale gold with a fizzy white head hat dissipates immediately with no lacing.
It is kind of bizarre when you smell it. It smells like a Belgian pale ale. There are some fruit esters in here that totally remind me of Belgian ale yeast.
The flavor is sweet and fruity. It is basic but okay.
If you want something different for the EPL try it, otherwise skip it.

3.45/5 rDev +12.7%
This beer pours a clear pale gold color. The head is half an inch in height, and recedes quickly into sparse lacing. The aroma is of bready malt with butterscotch. The taste is similar to the aroma, but with a little less butterscotch. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation, and a smooth texture. Overall, this is a decent beer. I believe there is probably some diaceytl going on here. However, it isn't too much, and it does give the beer some character. If hard pressed I could drink this beer again without much complaint.

3.73/5 rDev +21.9%
Pours pale golden with a tall lasting froth. The head quickly reduces to nothing with little to no lace at all. Smells of malted herbs with a dry, malty, grassy, decent bittering in the end. Rather light-bodied, with medium carbonation. Not too bad and is drinkable.

2.88/5 rDev -5.9%
Pours a pale golden with a head that fades immediately. Smells sweet, corny, and grainy. Fairly inoffensive, if not great. Light and grainy, notes of hay, and not quite as sweet as the nose would suggest. Light and slightly sweet in the mouth, this would be fine if in the beer hinterlands.

A: snifter. clear golden yellow. decent white head. low retention level. light lacing.
S: light banana tones. good corn malts in the nose. light sweetness.
T: slight metallic notes. serious corn malts, slight sweet breakfast malt flavor.
M: light to medium body. solid carbonation level. clean and crisp, very mellow.
D: very drinkable lager. not bad for warm weather or just something light.

The aroma is like an adjunct lager with lighter fluid, flowers and grass. The appearance is pale gold with a thin head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is right for the style. Overall it's not good but it's not horrible either. Still, I will not get another or drink another.

2.93/5 rDev -4.2%
Appearance: Pours a clear, yellow body with a small, white head.
Smell: Pale malts with some floral hints and notes of honey and chicken broth.
Taste: Pale malts with a teensy weensy hint of grain and light, honeyish sweetness. Minimal hop presence, only a bit floral with a weak bitterness. Big sip of spring water. Drying, watery finish.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. It's watery, I must say.
Drinkability: Contrary to the belief of the back label, I'm not so sure Gediminas, Grand Duchy of Lithuania would "applaud" this beer. I know I did not. I big step down after sampling the Baltika 5 and 7, and that's saying alot!

Reviews about the Silencer 610 EPS12V
|"This is a 610 W power supply without any fancy feature like modular cabling system or 120-mm fan, but providing all the specs a regular user needs nowadays: active PFC, high efficiency (83% nominal, between 83% and 88% measured), two power connectors for video cards, a nominal power high enough to feed both mainstream and high-end video cards and what is more important: this power supply can truly deliver 610 W of power under 45ş C. Another highlight of this product is its warranty (five years, which is far more than most manufacturers give). Since this power supply passed flawlessly all our tests – and continued working after that –, is really able to deliver its labeled power at 45ş C and provides a high efficiency, this is definitely a model we recommend, and that is why we are giving it our Golden Award Seal
Hardware Secrets
|"The Silencer 610W is yet another exceptional high performance PSU coming from PC Power & Cooling. For those who care about the electrical performance of a PSU above all else the Silencer 610W will be a very satisfactory choice. It is one of the most stable units we have ever tested and will not show any sign of instability even during very large changes on its load and it also is very efficient. Another strong point of the Silencer 610W is the unreasonably good acoustics performance as the unit is extremely silent despite being cooled by a small 80mm fan. The Silencer 610W EPS12V unit on the other hand is very reasonably priced and is one of the cheapest units available in the 600-700W range making it a very sweet deal for people who want a high performance unit and the aesthetics are a secondary factor. Taking everything into account, we believe that the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W EPS12V unit rightfully earns our Editors Choice."
Driver Heaven
|"The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 delivers clean power with tight voltage regulation all the way to its full rated output. In electrical performance, it is consistently excellent. The Silencer 610 is competitively priced with other high profile quiet PSU brands. The 5-year warranty is very generous."
|"This ultra-quiet PSU really earns its Silencer namesake. This PSU is capable of operating 10dB quieter than more cramped PSUs. It's no pushover, either. If you're looking for a powerful single-rail PSU capable of handling a high-end graphics card and/or quad core CPU in near silence, then the Silencer 610 EPS 12V is your best option. "
CPU Magazine: Power Supply Buying Guide
|"Continuing the excellent reputation of PC Power & Cooling, with a combination of OCZ's excellent warranty and support makes the Silencer 610W a winner. Many reviewers with professional testing equipment obtained mostly equally as excellent test results. From its excellent build quality from the inside to the outside, absolutely hardcore in performance (Well, it did work in -18c weather), large 49A single +12V rail, and best of all, the first decently quiet PC Power & Cooling power supply I used makes the Silencer 610W a well round power supply that offers surprisingly great value for what you get."
APH Networks
|"If you want a decent power supply you won't go wrong with PCP&C. PC Power and cooling have the brand reputation for a reason. They make top quality power supplies again and again time after time. The silencer 610W is no exception, and I could go on filling this conclusion with what makes this power supply so great, but instead I will simply give it the award it deserves. The silencer stays close to its rated voltage at all times. I can honestly say I this PSU has the tightest voltage regulation that I have ever seen. Job well done PCP&C!
Xtreme Computing
|"Power efficency was good with very little fluctuations in all the voltage lines. It easily passed our "240W Peltier Test". Overall, I'm very pleased with its stability and performance. If you're a mainstream user or gamer who's after a rock solid stable power supply with plenty of juice, then look no further. The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W power supply is your affordable answer."
|"The Silencer's potential advantages can be found in its maker's PSU-building experience and ideas. The one large single-rail and ultra-quiet cooling design certainly set it apart from most competing products on sale today while the solid and high-quality build quality seal the deal on a power supply that's worth considering. For about $120 or 80 euros one can find in the Silencer 610W a sturdy and well-performing PSU, with SLI certification which boasts quite few less than common features."
TechConnect Magazine
|""This 610W unit outdid its specs by a large margin.""
|"The voltage regulation appears to be pretty good with only a couple of small 0.01V drops. The looks of the Silencer 610 may not impress you but the performance is splendid. This unit delivers a lot of power, a fine build quality, high efficiency and it's backed up by a long 5-year warranty. The Silencer 610 retails for about $119 (or less) which is a pretty good price for a high quality power supply. "
DarkVision Hardware
|"The Silencer 610 has proven that buying a PC Power & Cooling product can also mean you can get phenomenal value for your money. This power supply wowed us with its performance in every test we threw at it and did justice to its legendary predecessors by holding itself to a standard achieved by very few of its competitors. Hardware Canucks has now reviewed over 20 power supplies in the 500W to 650W category and this product from PC Power & Cooling rightly holds the mantle of the best supply we have tested to date when it comes to pure performance."
Hardware Canucks
|"Beating competing PSU models such as Corsair VX 450W, Be Quiet! StraightPower 600W and 550W, Apevia Iceberg 680W, Antech TruePower Trio 650W, and Hiper Type-R 580W, the Silencer proved its grit at Hardware Logic: Way to go PC Power and Cooling, good and clean power! The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V power supply is a solid performer with a strong warranty. If you are looking for a PSU for a serious application in the 600 watt range, this one should be among your considerations. If you are really serious about pushing a system and need something solid, the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V certainly fits the bill."
Hardware Logic
|"The voltages were very stable. The rest of the rails were spot on. Probably the most stable we've seen in a power supply, the Silencer performed like a real winner. The Silencer shined again when it came to noise and heat. The 80mm fan on the Silencer was whisper quiet and the exhaust blown out was slightly warm meaning the Silencer was coping very well under stress. The Silencer 610 is a phenomenal power supply. Once again PC Power & Cooling have shown that they're still at the top of their game. We can't really find anything wrong with this power supply which would make us hesitate in recommending it to anyone."
Tech Gear
|"For this price the Silencer is an amazing value considering the reputation behind this Power Supply. The Silencer was quiet throughout testing and we had no issues with stability even when loading the PC with multiple real world applications. OCZ has once again scored huge, not only producing a high quality product but delivering it at a price point that is affordable to everyone."
3D Xtreme
|"The voltage regulation is good, the noise is low in normal use and this PSU has a very good efficiency. Therefore if you must change your power supply then pick and go!"
|"PC Power & Cooling's Silencer 610EPS12V is a solid, well constructed, high quality power supply. It performed admirably as per the Certified Test Report, and proved that a power supply can perform silently and unobtrusively. What will impress you is the way that this power supply performs. The voltage output remained stable under all conditions as we could not stress the supply to its limits. Its pure silent operation is not just a marketing gimmick from PC Power & Cooling. It is in fact a reality."
|"In a market that's becoming more and more crowded with companies battling it out based on features and wattage alone, it's really quite refreshing to see PC Power & Cooling's take on building a power supply, focusing on reliability, stability, and producing clean, consistent power as required to keep your system running stably. Take a look beyond the plain packaging of the Silencer 610W and you find a solid, sturdily built and well thought-out PSU. Modular or not, the Silencer 610W certainly isn't left wanting for connectivity either, with plenty of Serial ATA and Molex connectors matched with enough PCI Express power for SLI or a high-end board such as the Radeon HD 3870 X2 - again, as with this unit's wattage, enough for the vast majority of users out there. Given the reputation of PC Power & Cooling as a company coupled with their warranty, build quality and performance, it's almost a must-buy if you're looking for a reasonably priced power supply and don't have a system with massive Wattage demands."
Elite Bastards
|"The Silencer 610 is a fantastic power supply. At a decent price you get a SLI and 80plus certified unit that is extremely quiet"
Award Fabrik (Germany)
|"The Silencer 610 is SLI certified and comes with plenty of connectors. Design and built quality are excellent. Comparable to the results of the 750, during our 8 days testing the Silencer 610 stayed extremely stable and even under full load the PSU cools all components well due to the efficient design and 80mm fan. We achieved an efficiency of over 84% which is very good and even our highend gaming system couldn't push the unit to the limit.
Gamezoom (Germany)
|"It seems PC Power & Cooling has another winner on their hands here. PCP&C stands out with better overall performance, less variance in its rails, less variance when overclocked, and closer to advertised rail voltages; pretty much a winner all around. It seems since our last review the Silencer series has become even more affordable and no longer resides at that high end exclusive club when it comes to price. It certainly resides in that club when it comes to performance and that is why we have no qualms when it comes giving it our recommendation as one of the best values in power supplies."
|"PC Power and Cooling keeps on selling their product at a low price point. But the goal isn't to have a low quality, low price product. From the stability to the efficiency everything has been studied to be as good as possible. PC Power and Cooling Silencer 610W 's stability is one of the best of our folder. We did not measures the noise level, but the PSU seems to be quiet. The perfect PSU doesn't exist yet, but this Silencer 610W is near to what it should be. So if you are searching for a PSU upgrade, then PC Power & Cooling has the good solution. It has a great quality and performance, for a reasonable price.
Froggytest (France)
|"This is a 610 W power supply without any fancy feature like modular cabling system or 120-mm fan, but providing all the specs a regular user needs nowadays. Since this power supply passed flawlessly all our tests, and continued working after that, is really able to deliver its labeled power at 45ş C and provides a high efficiency, this is definitely a model we recommend, and that is why we are giving it our Recommended Product Award Seal."
Clube do Hardware (Brazil)
|"When it comes to brand recognition in the PC power supply market, PC Power and Cooling is the geek equivalent of Ferrari. The rails are rock solid, and the efficiency is top notch."
Club Overclocker
|"The Silencer 610 is a great power supply that can power the best of systems. The 610 watts should power that SLI system you so love."
|"PC Power & Cooling did a surprising choice with the 80mm fan. Tensions did not fluctuate at all during our tests. This Silencer is an honour to its name since you can't hear it even at full charge! This unit is a pure success, as well as its attractive pricing for a 600W PSU. "
|"The Silencer 610 was very stable during all our tests, it performs very well and price/quality ratio is excellent. The Silencer is a complete product when we look at the price and its performance compared to competitors.
The Silencer 610 doesn't get warm, even with its 80mm fan. Besides, it is very silent, you need to put your ear very close to the PSU to hear a very low sound.
The Silencer 610 has an excellent quality, perfect stability and a price that makes it a dream PSU, so why wait longer, go for this PSU!
Total-Tuning (France)
|"PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 is focused on high performance and a low noise level. As we can see, the Silencer is a huge surprise! Even during heavy overclock the unit was completely stable something you don't see very often even with A brand manufactures, this is a big plus for sure! The noise level is extremely low, just like PC Power & Cooling and OCZ promise. Because of all these plus points we have to give the Silencer 610 four stars."
Bouween PC (Netherlands)
|"As you can see, the difference of the voltages is minimal. And even under load, the PSU stays stable. The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W is an excellent stable PSU. This PSU has plenty of connectors and an excellent price/performance ratio. Therefore, the Silencer 610 receives our Must Have Award.
TechZine (Netherlands)
|"The results of the Silencer 610W are quite impressive. During the test we realized that this Silencer 610W is a good performer, which impressed us by its stability and its silence. We therefore give the Silencer 610W our Silver Award.
DNR Hardware
|"Power , power and some more power…What else can you ask from a power supply? All of the 3 models we have tested have shown outstanding performance , Excellent build quality and perfect stability throughout all of our tests. The 610W, featuring sleeved cables, SLI certification , and wide range of connectors , are truly power monsters , with excellent build quality, high output range, and excellent efficiency. Considering excellent Voltage regulation , and the fact all of the models comes with 5 years warranty - PCP&C power supplies the first
choice for any user, from low budget systems to high-end enthusiast!
|"The Silencer offers more than an excellent quality and satisfactory performance. The Silencer 610W allows supplying power to last generation systems. The Silencer takes care of our ears, because it is very quiet, it produces less than 19db (A). It's an amazing PSU considering the small size of the fan!
PC Achat (France)
|"PC Power & Cooling Silencer series 610W psu's don't have details like shiny coat paint or neon lights inside. Instead of these details PC Power & Cooling has produced a psu that meets all our expectations. Under 45 degrees centigrade operation conditions these psu's can deliver contiuously 610W power above 85% efficieny, high currents on the single 12V rail as 49A and 60A, and by operating quietly and cool with high quality components we definitely like these psu's."

Is it fair to ask Gingrich about 'open marriage' claim?
- 3:04 pm Monday, January 23rd, 2012 by Opinion Staff
New Gingrich's second wife, Marianne, said in interviews last week that he had asked her for an "open marriage" while he was carrying on an extramarital affair.
So CNN reporter John King did what reporters do. He asked Mr. Gingrich if it was true.
The question, during the final debate among GOP presidential hopefuls in the South Carolina primary, brought this angry response from Mr. Gingrich:
"I am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that," Mr. Gingrich said, adding that even raising the issue, "is as close to despicable as anything I can imagine."

If you feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of reading you do for your job, then this is a great place to start.
What are you reading? Newspapers? Magazines? Blogs? Websites? Reports?
Which sources provide you with the best, most relevant information you need to do your job?
Focus on these and consider dropping the other publications or sites from your reading pile.
Several years ago, I stopped reading the papers and focused on a couple of online sources for scanning the news. It's made no difference to my business life and saved me oodles of time.
2. You don't have to be on every social network.
To use social media effectively, you have to invest time listening, engaging and providing useful, relevant content. (My previous articles How to Create a Social Media Schedule – Part 1 and How to Create a Social Media Schedule – Part 2 can help you do this.)
So trying to be on every social media site will be a huge drain on your time.
Instead, choose the social media sites that are most effective for you. These will be sites where your customers already congregate.
If your business is Business-to-Consumer, then Facebook may work well for you. If it's Business-to-Business, then you may prefer Twitter.
Review your analytics and identify the places that are most strategic for you.
Then spend your social media time there.
3. You don't have to accept every client.
If your biggest challenge is getting a start or paying the bills, then you may decide you need to take any client that comes your way. But if you're suffering overwhelm and reading this article, then I suspect you have more pressing concerns.
If this is the case, take a moment to review the type of client you want.
You may identify ideal clients by company size or industry type or even gut feel. But do think about indicators so that you can recognise clients you don't want.
And say no to these clients.
They're usually the ones that take more time, energy and effort, and provide fewer emotional and professional rewards.
Explain that you don't think you're the right person to help them and be prepared to suggest someone else they can work with. If the fit isn't right, then you'll be doing both of you a favour.
What we read, where we invest our social media time and whom we work with are decisions that are worth reviewing on a regular basis.
They can save time and energy and greatly simplify our business lives.
Do you need to take another look at your life and simplify it?

Mickey's New Year Celebration Hat
Ring in the new year with your very own festive party hat featuring Mickey Mouse!
Download the template here:
- Print the hat on regular paper or cardstock and cut out the pieces (use cardstock for a sturdier hat). Be sure not to cut off any of the gray tabs.
- Wrap the two ends of the cone piece together so the edges line up, then secure the shape with the large gray tab using glue or double-sided tape.
Note: If you would like to add any embellishments to the top of the hat, tape them to the inside of the cone piece before closing it shut. You may need to snip a small hole in the top of the hat to thread the embellishments through.
- Take the two pieces that will form the band of the hat and fold the small tabs inward.
- Attach the two band pieces together with the gray tab at the end of each piece.
- Drop the cone into the center of the band and tape the tabs to the inside of the cone piece.
- Secure the hat to the head by punching a hole in each side of the hat and threading a string through each hole. Tie the ends of the string together beneath the chin.
Disney Family.com's printable crafts are specially designed with muted colors to conserve your printer's color ink.

We've seen fabulously androgynous model Andrej Pejic in just about every role imaginable. But one character that we thought had so far passed him by is the American hipster. Well, rejoice, friends, for that is the case no more! The Huffington Post dug up these photos from the June 2010 issue of Yen magazine, in which Pejic poses looking ironically bored/pensive/important/pointless, wearing hipster-trademark glasses and looking, as usual, gorgeous.
