Everything you need to turn your smartphone or tablet into an extension of your guitar.
Guitar World's guide to all that's glorious in the world of seven- and eight-string guitars.
Recordings from '68 Miami Pop Fest represent a bright spot for the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
The world needs more guitar heroes like Guthrie Govan. No mere notes-per-nanosecond noodler, Govan has musical tastes and a command of music history far more eclectic and adventurous than those of the average shred demon.
John Petrucci's relationship with Music Man stretches back more than a dozen years and encompasses a variety of signature-model guitars. But in their long history together there's never been anything quite like Petrucci and Music Man's newest creation, the JP13.
Guitar World readers have dubbed a fellow guitarist — Soundgarden's Chris Cornell — the greatest rock singer. Cornell battled it out with Led Zeppelin's Robert Plant in the final matchup of our month-long readers poll, the Greatest Rock Singers of All Time, which we launched in September in partnership with Samson.
Founded by guitarist Jeremy Wagner, Chicago-based death metal band Broken Hope began in 1988, back when extreme metal was on the rise. They achieved acclaim with their first few albums, including Swamped In Gore, The Bowels Of Repugnance and Repulsive Conception, and after two more studio releases, they disbanded in 2002.
Twenty years after Kurt Cobain suffered for the sins of corporate rock, Nirvana rise from the vault in a deluxe box-set reissue of their great grunge apotheosis, In Utero. GW delivers the gospel according to Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear.
From "Dazed and Confused" to "You Shook Me" … from "Tangerine" to "The Lemon Song" … from "Trampled Under Foot" to "Stairway to Heaven" … Guitar World presents a critical analysis of the classic-rock group's best tracks. With the recent release of Celebration Day, the concert film immortalizing Led Zeppelin's historic and most likely final reunion concert at London's O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, guitarist-producer Jimmy Page reminded the world just how profoundly great and enduring his band's music is.

I maintain it's my absolute prerogative to wear whatever hairstyle goes with my guitar at any point in my life. It amazes me when people make a big deal about people changing their hair. Surely that's one of the bonuses of being in a band. When I was a kid, David Bowie was big, so that's where it started for me.
Bones, blood, nightmares, devils, reapers, creepers and more!
Some bands — like Gwar or Ghost B.C., for example — don't need scary gear to be scary. That said, if they were wielding any of the axes featured in this photo gallery, well, let's just say it wouldn't hurt.

Simon Dyson has been fined more than $45,000 and given an 18-month probation for deliberately tapping down a spike mark during the BMW Masters.
It was a bizarre start Thursday to the European Tour's Hong Kong Open, where one player was disqualified for arriving late to his tee time and another narrowly avoided the same fate but was forced

When I joined a friend at our start-up I said I'd do two years then leave (I want to do other things), so we raised seed and my two years were up a few months ago. Now we're trying to raised a series A, and I intend to leave as soon as the round is closed.
Do I have a moral obligation to my co-founders to tell them now, or will they have to declare this during due diligence? Which might put the deal in jeopardy?
I'll work my notice and everything and not screw my co-founders over in anyway, but should I remind them now?

The Other Google
For real estate brokers looking to manage multiple marketing mediums – online, offline and perhaps for the first time, radio – Google's marketing services finally turn ad-hoc advertising into a comprehensive campaign. All of which is less expensive, do-it-yourself easy and trackable right down to the single click. It all starts with Google AdWords, the same place many of us have been buying keywords to drive web traffic for years. Look across the menus, however, and even experienced users will be surprised to find campaign options for audio ads and print ads. Both services rely upon classic "reverse" auction systems: the user creates an ad and then places a bid on how much (or little) they are willing to pay for a placement. The bidding is based upon "impressions" – so radio stations bid according to their listener volume for a certain part of the day, and newspapers publish their circulation numbers for a section of the paper and day of the week. And why would a big radio station like Air America or newspaper like The New York Times want to place your advertising, when you might be offering only a fraction of the retail value? That's the beauty of reverse auction: the broadcasters and publishers have open "spots" and rather than filling the space with filler (like the weather), they opt for a small fee rather than no fee. And everybody wins – the media company, Google, and of course, you. Let's examine both a little more closely. Radio ads require a three step process: First, you will have to create a thirty-second recording in MP3 format. This could be done directly on your computer, with a high-quality USB microphone. Alternately, Google will help you find local radio studios, writers and even voice talent if you prefer. We used a local studio that helped us produce twelve thirty-second spots in less than two hours – for under $150. Once your ad is completed, upload it into your account. It takes about a day for Google's staff to listen to and approve the ad (to ensure it is appropriate for the auction). In the meantime, you can start setting up your radio campaign.
Begin by selecting the demographics you're trying to reach. This is done by selecting your target audience, radio station formats (rock, news, oldies, etc.) and even the parts of the day (6am – 12, 12-6pm, etc.) you wish your ad to run. Combine the target demographics with the marketplaces by selecting from a list of cities nationwide. Not every city will feature the "major" market player, but purchasing radio time in second-tier cities is often a great way to reach plenty of listeners without multi-ten thousand dollar contracts. Finally, set your budget (daily or monthly): Google helps you decide on a reasonable budget by "estimating" the number of ad plays and potential listeners you will reach based upon different budget amounts. Put it all together and launch the campaign. In most cases, somebody is going to pick up your spot and play it instead of filler within the next day. Audio ads are highly affordable. Here's an example from our own experience: One campaign we are running plays a 30-second spot 4900 times in four major cities nationwide each month. We reach more than 3 million listeners for 30 days at a cost just under $4000. If we want to spend less, or try different cities or add in a new radio station format, it's all in our control. And the reporting system helps keep us in control: each morning we receive a report of the ads scheduled to play that day, by station, city and format. We also receive a report of yesterday's aired ads with the actual listener volume during the broadcasts. In fact, Google requires the radio stations to include a recorded copy of the actual airplay so we can hear our commercial exactly as it went out over the air. By listening to the broadcasts, we can judge the quality of the station, the other advertisers around our ad and the station format – information that helps us decide to change our ad style or content by simply uploading a new digital recording. Metrics are critical to this kind of campaign, so Google's integrated website tracking also helps us correlate our website traffic with our radio ad playing times. So we can see if the broadcasts lead to immediate action by listeners by visiting our website. Google will even lease you a special 800-number which you can use in the ad, to track in real time if the ad-plays cause people to call by phone instead. Needless to say, most radio stations aren't this sophisticated, even though they usually require far more expensive ad contracts; so in addition to creating affordable radio opportunity, Google even improves the medium, by integrating real-time tracking just as it does for web traffic. As you might expect, a very similar format works for the print advertising tools. Users upload a high-quality PDF file to start. Then, a list of publications by location, format (business, general interest, etc.) and circulation can be selected. Like radio ads, print advertising also includes targeting options. One of the nicest features is the instant comparison of print ad sizes – from the tiny 1 x 1 ad to the full-page color format. Changing selections quickly shows the effect on costs – far easier than deciphering the traditional printed "media kit" from some publishers. The last step is the bidding process, and the estimator tool is pretty slick. In addition to checking off days of the week or special editions for your ad, a "slider" tool helps you measure your estimated costs quickly. Since many publications have tens, if not hundreds of thousands of readers, even a small bid of $1.00 per thousand can result in a hefty bill. So the sliders help you slip back and forth between affordability and bankruptcy. In an online world, real estate professionals sometimes underestimate the need and power of a multi-media marketing approach. Mistaken is the belief that marketing can be done with a webpage alone. Successful businesses use a variety of media to drive traffic to a multitude of channels – phone, website and even personal visits. Google, perhaps best known as the leader in web search and traffic generation, understands this. For example, consider how many times a month stories about Google appear on radio or in print, not just online. So it's exciting that they are making their technology available to all of us – so we can pursue the same multi-channel strategy – and hopefully reap some of the same kinds of results. Now, if they could only do this for television advertising?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court is wrestling with the fate of a section of a landmark civil rights law that has helped millions of Americans exercise their right to vote.
In an argument at the court on Wednesday, liberal and conservative justices engaged in a sometimes tense back and forth over whether there is an ongoing need in 2013 for a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The measure requires states with a history of discrimination, mainly in the Deep South, to get approval before making changes in the way elections are held.
Chief Justice John Roberts asked the government's top Supreme Court lawyer whether the Obama administration thinks Southerners "are more racist than citizens in the North."
The answer from Solicitor General Donald Verrilli was no.

Haha Amy-you forgot to add the no candles to the gifts for teachers list too!! Okay, the snarky part of me is back in it's cage now.

Amy, last year my hubby and I gave our boys a budget ($50) and sent them to their room to come up with a list of what they wanted to buy from that very catalog. It was so neat to see them get excited about giving, instead of just getting! :) Thanks for faithfully encouraging us busy moms to take time to impart the spirit of service to our kids. I hope you're planning on writing a book...I'd love to read it someday!

Oh Dena Dyer,
Thank you for the encouragement...your kind words come at the perfect time! I am writing a book, and I hope that someone reads it one day:). Oh, and I miss all the action over at HCB. Ever since the summer (and most of my free time!) ended I haven't frequented as much. I SO enjoy visits from you and some of my other faves over that way...Laura B, and Jennifer. - November 23, 2010 at 11:07 PM

What a great idea! You know what else? When I was teaching I LOVED getting notes or cards from students (and even parents) with genuine hand-written messages. I love the information age as much as anyone else, but there is something nice about hand-written cards.

Court Cases
Discuss64on this wiki
" | When I wrote King's Ransom over two years ago, we introduced a judicial system to RuneScape, by way of the Seers' Village Court House. It seemed a shame that you only get to use it during the quest and the rest of the time it just sits there. | " |
— Mod Nancy Distractions & Diversions: Court Cases
Overview Edit
Players are able to work on cases in the Seers' Village courthouse, where they can choose either to defend their client (requires 65 Defence) or prosecute the accused (requires 65 Attack). Players read a few documents on the background of the case and perform a bit of detective work. When they feel ready, players may start the trial and present all their findings to the jury and argue their case, as the player did in King's Ransom.
To successfully complete a court case, you will need to do a number of things in preparation. All cases come with up to three case reports, for example, which can be obtained from the filing cabinet on the ground floor of the courthouse. It is essential that you read these if you want to make a coherent case. Keep a note of all their details to win in the courtroom.
If you fail at a case, the jury will return an 'undecided' verdict. The judge will then explain that you need to make your case more clear. You will then be teleported upstairs to the clerk's room. You will still have your case files and you can go downstairs and try again. Players there can persevere and thus eventually win every case and get all the rewards.
After every successful court case, players are rewarded with a set amount of experience (either in Attack or Defence, depending on whether you chose to prosecute or defend), and some item(s). Completing all Court Cases is one of the requirements needed to get a trimmed Completionist cape.
WARNING: Giving up a case will mean that the Clerk will take it away. You will have to wait to get another case just like you got the last one. Eventually you will be given this case again. You must complete all 16 cases to get all the rewards.
- Completion of King's Ransom
- Level 65 Attack (for prosecuting) or 65 Defence (Required for King's Ransom)
Getting startedEdit
- See the Court summons article for different methods of obtaining court case summons.
After completing the First Court Case/Starter Court Case, the player can obtain a court summons by pickpocketing, monster drops, caskets or clue scrolls. There is NO waiting period to obtain a court summons; the first court case/starter court case, however, MUST be completed before the player has the ability to obtain a court summons.
Players may take on their first court case by talking to the clerk in the Courthouse. Afterwards, players will need a court summons through the methods mentioned above.
Note: You can only obtain one court summons at a time. If you wish to do a certain case, you will have to destroy scrolls until you find that specific one.
With a court summons in hand, you can travel to the Seers' Village Courthouse and talk to the clerk to start the case (assuming the summons does not give you a waiting period), and decide whether to defend or prosecute.
While you can get a summons at any time, you can only complete one court case every 2 weeks. Reading a court summons will indicate how long is left before another attempt can be made.
Before descending into the courtroom via the stairs, you should:
- Check the case file cabinet to get your case reports
- Analyse any fingerprints
- Talk to the relevant witnesses in the temporary jails that have been set up on ground level
Gathering evidenceEdit
The Case reports obtained from the filing cabinet give details pertinent to the case:
- Fingerprints (Not present in all cases): The player must correctly match a print taken from the scene to one of three possible suspects, which if correctly matched can then aid in prosecuting or defending cases.
- Information about the circumstances and evidence of the case.
- Information about the suspect's background (and any other person pertinent to the case).
- A crime scene viewing orb may be given, in which case the player gets to examine a virtual crime scene with a magnifying glass to look for evidence.
The Defendant can be spoken to in the detention cells on the ground level of the courthouse. The case reports will state if any questioning is necessary for information before court is in session.
Once a player is ready, they may descend into the basement of the court to commence the trial. Cases start with the prosecution, and then follow with the defence. Players are advised to carefully select evidence and witnesses, depending on whether they intend to defend or prosecute, which will corroborate with their arguments. The jury will indicate whenever the choices made were good, inconsequential or severely damaging to their case.
The judge presiding over the case can be talked to query witnesses or present physical evidence. If happy with the presentation, players can also talk to him to summarise their case to the jury. A jury member is then be chosen and appealed to in order to influence their verdicts.
Wearing the ring of charos (a) while hovering the mouse over jury members will show their personal background and interests, rather than simply saying "A member of the Jury". The backgrounds of the Ranger and Cook were slightly altered to give hints for the second batch of court cases.
- Ranger - "A ranger, he prefers the bow and arrow to all other combat. He's a straight arrow and hates evil doers."
- Wizard - "A wizard, he researches the mysteries of life and performs magic."
- Miner - "A miner, works hard all day mining rocks. Likes to party in the evenings."
- Cook - "A cook, he spends all day making bread and stopping people stealing his cakes. He hates stew."
- Shady Gentleman - "A shady-looking gentleman. He's likely involved in the criminal underworld."
- Young Man - "A young man. He's concerned with starting his own business and making money. Also enjoys a rowdy party."
- Barbarian - "A barbarian. He is sensitive to any disrespect of his culture."
- Elderly Gentleman - "An elderly gentleman. He's worried about his safety and a rise in crime."
- Young Woman - "A young woman. She's concerned with the safety of her children."
- Shady Individual - "A shady-looking fellow. He covers up his face to hide his identity."
- Desert Dweller - "A desert citizen. She doesn't have much love for mainlanders."
- Elderly Citizen - "An elderly gentleman. He doesn't like parties or noise."

Witnesses and ArrestersEdit
- The "People" in the Drunken Dwarf case is a man named Botros (can be rearranged Robots), who has an appearance that makes him look exactly like a bot. He claims that he was attacked by the Drunken Dwarf while he was skilling, and often talks in leetspeak. When the player is defending in that case, it is revealed (in possibly the biggest example of Jagex breaking the fourth wall) that he was AFK at the time of the attack.
- There is currently an error on the Adventurer's Log where it will say "A court summons was dropped; The case is Mugger (level: 6) VS Roger Murray." even though you did not obtain this case through a drop/pickpocket.
- The (Rich) People in the Rick Turpentine case is man name Richard Maney (Mr. Maney.) This name, Maney, appears to be a pun on the word Money, which makes sense since Richard Maney does happen to be rich, and making his name Rich Money.
- When the good and evil twins have their fingerprints repeated, both their fingerprints and the one taken from the crime scene are different.
- When interviewing Rick Turpentine and selecting to question him about "The gold watch" he says about his father, "For five long years he carried this watch in his back pocket. Then, before he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch." This is very likely a reference to the film Pulp Fiction and the segment "The Gold Watch," where Christopher Walken as Captain Koons relates a similar story about the provenance of the gold watch he is giving to the young Butch.
- In the River Troll case, if the player chooses to defend, the defendant will summarise her case by asking the jury to stop "trolling the troll." This is a pun with the word "troll," which is used by many to represent an action of spamming or otherwise annoying activities that serve no purpose other than annoyance.
- In the Evil Dave case, there is the option to say about the Evil Stew "It's tasty, tasty, very very tasty". This is a reference to UK adverts for Kellogg's Bran Flakes in the 1980s with the jingle "They're tasty, tasty, very very tasty".
- When the defence talks to Simon about the cake, he will say 'The cake is a lie', this is a reference to the video game Portal.
- When investigating the Miss Schism vs. Draynor Village case, Miss Schism is inside the jail cell sitting on her stool. If the player tries to speak to her and she is not directly opposite the player, she will glide towards the player still seated without any animation.
- There is a glitch, where you will randomly be doing a case that is not yours and it will count as you doing it.

Tax Compliance:
Thousands of Organizations Exempt from Federal Income Tax Owe Nearly $1 Billion in Payroll and Other Taxes
GAO-07-563, Jun 29, 2007
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9505
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As of September 2006, nearly 1.8 million entities were recognized as tax exempt organizations by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). As such, they do not have to pay federal income taxes. Exempt organizations are still required to remit amounts withheld from employees' wages for federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, as well as other taxes. Previous GAO work identified numerous government contractors, Medicare providers, and charities participating in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) with billions in unpaid federal taxes. To follow up on the CFC work, the subcommittee requested that GAO determine whether and to what extent (1) exempt organizations have unpaid federal taxes, including payroll taxes; (2) selected case study organizations and their executives are involved in abusive or potentially criminal activity; and (3) exempt organizations with unpaid federal taxes received direct grants from certain federal agencies. GAO reviewed unpaid taxes and exempt organization data from IRS and selected 25 case studies for audit and investigation. GAO also reviewed data from 3 major grant disbursement systems. GAO referred all 25 cases to IRS for collection activity and criminal investigation, if warranted. In its oral comments on a draft of this report, IRS noted several actions it is taking to enhance exempt organizations' tax compliance.
Nearly 55,000 exempt organizations had almost $1 billion in unpaid federal taxes as of September 30, 2006. About 1,500 of these entities each had over $100,000 in federal tax debts with some owing tens of millions of dollars. The majority of this debt represented payroll taxes and associated penalties and interest dating as far back as the early 1980s. Willful failure to remit payroll taxes is a felony under U.S. tax law. The $1 billion figure is understated because some exempt organizations have understated tax liabilities or did not file tax returns. GAO selected 25 exempt organizations for investigation based primarily on amount of tax debt and number of periods delinquent. For the 25 cases investigated GAO found abusive and potentially criminal activity, including repeated failure to remit payroll taxes withheld from employees. Officials diverted the money to fund their operations, including paying themselves large salaries ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to over $1 million. Many of the 25 case studies accumulated substantial assets, such as million-dollar homes and luxury vehicles. Key officials and employees at 4 exempt organizations were engaged in criminal activities, including attempted bribery of an IRS official and illegal gambling. Despite repeatedly abusing the federal tax system, these entities continued to retain their exempt status. IRS does not have the authority to revoke an organization's exempt status because of unpaid federal taxes. Over 1,200 of these exempt organizations with unpaid federal taxes received over $14 billion in federal grants in fiscal years 2005 and 2006. Six of the 25 exempt organizations GAO investigated received grants; of those 6 entities, 5 appear to have violated the False Statement Act by not disclosing their tax debt as required. For example, one entity that received millions of dollars in grants did not disclose unpaid taxes on multiple applications. Taxpayer privacy statutes prevent granting agencies from verifying an applicant's tax status with IRS unless the taxpayer authorizes such disclosure.

Of moods and minds and all-star snubs
All's right in the world when your 19-28 and winners of three in a row. At least that's the prevailing mood around these guys these days and, actually, you can't blame them.
There's been some slippage – defensively they've been so-so and the energy level has been a bit below acceptable at times – but confidence and momentum are huge and they truly do feel they are at least approaching a corner, if not already in it.
We'll see, of course, we know they have the capability of throwing up on themselves without any notice but there's no reason they shouldn't come out tonight and roll.
There. Feel jinxed?
As some may recall, I was a bit dubious about the need for, or value of, a sports psychologist for a team sport. And then you all saw today's story about Dana Sinclair and the Raptors have obviously not paid one lick of attention to my opinion. (not an odd occurrence, by the way).
Anyway, now I'm figuring what the heck, if they think it works, go ahead and do it. I'm not paying the freight, another resource can't be a bad thing and, here's the funny thing, I now recall having met. Dr. Sinclair at the Sydney Olympics way back in 2000 when she did some work for the Canadian Olympic Committee. I also recall her working with a couple of members of the women's basketball team back then and them being highly complimentary so now I'm okay with this (as if that mattered).
And Bryan C? Well, he had this to say about a sports psychologist working with a team rather than an individual
"It's about individual performance and how it relates to teams in this regard but clearly …each player in the NBA has a different psychological profile and whether or not they're getting the most out of their ability i9s something you want to try to determine.
"With respect to the players, this is not so much about curing a problem, it's about helping people achieve best results."
I'd like this story an awful lot more if someone from Rogers or Maple Leaf Sports or TSN actually said they'd do something about this fiasco.
My man Tom Enlund isn't making the trip up here tonight (I believe that's allowed at least one extra Harbour Sports Grille server to get a night off) but he does provide this in our look at what's up with the other team.
Just in case he misses, let's get this one out there:
Q: With Jose's recent brilliance at the free throw line (perfect for the season), I was wondering if you could tell me if Dave Hopla, shooting coach extraordinaire, should be given a ton of credit for helping Jose develop such a stellar shot? I assume Hopla spent time with Jose working on his shooting mechanics when he was an assistant a couple years back.
Miles V, Kitchener
A: No. He shouldn't. The credit should go to Jose, who went home between his rookie and sophomore seasons and worked like crazy on his new shooting form. He was given tips (tips that even a dope like me could see were necessary, like keeping his right elbow in closer to his body) and exercises as much by Jay Triano as Hopla but it was he who did the work.
Hey, six out of seven all-star backups in each conference? Can a guy get some love?
Seriously, putting Rashard Lewis on the East team instead of Mo Williams is fine with me (makes the East bigger, gives them another shooter) but David West over Al Jefferson in the West is, to me, a bit perplexing.
West's team is okay, sure, and Jefferson's isn't, except for the fact the Timberwolves are like the hottest team in the league in the last two weeks or something.
I think the Western Conference coaches blew that one.
But, since I'm not going to be in Phoenix, I really don't care all that much.
A question of styles:
Q: Short and sweet - who is the better defender right now, Bosh or Bargnani? And who do you project will be the better defender when it's all said and done? There have been stretches when Andrea has played exceptional team and individual defense, and I would argue he is more physically equipped (length and relative strength) to guard opposing bigs.
Jack C, Ajax
A: Short and sweet? Not so much.
Bosh is a better help defender, Bargnani's a better post defender. Together, they're all right.
But, really, all this chatter about who's a "good" defender and who "sucks" as a defender is, in a lot of cases, ridiculous.
NBA defence is always team defence. No one can stop anyone one-on-one in the league, it's more about schemes (turning your man to help) and scouting (forcing him to his weak hand, or a spot on the court he can't shoot from) that one guy stopping one other guy.
So they announced the all-star subs around 7 p.m. in these parts, the Magic get two and the Cavaliers get none and then Orlando goes out and whacks Cleveland with Jameer Nelson wildly out-playing Mo Williams and Rashard Lewis getting 19 or something like that.
And all of us who originally thought the East was just a two-team race were, apparently, dead wrong.
Now the premium for finishing first in the East is even greater. Not only is it homecourt through the conference finals, it's avoiding the third team in the second round.
I believe we are in for a great, great finish.
You know how stinky this winter's been in the parts? You walk outside about 7:20 in the morning so Super Dog can have it's morning constitutional, it's about minus-9 and you go, "hmm, nice day."
The last word:
Q: Hey Doug. I hope you answer this one as I've written before and I'd love to get your take on it. Is there anyway on God's green earth that we ever...ever...ever see Vince back in a Raptors jersey? Ever? If not, would you like to see it? Thanks for your great work Doug.
Paul G, Aurora
A: A wise man once suggested I never say never but I will say, unequivocally, that you will never see Vince Carter in a Raptor jersey again. Ever. Never.
They won't trade for him, they won't sign him as a 34-year-ol free agent when this contract's up. That ship has sailed.
Would I like to see it? No. It would be far, far, far too much work for me.

Slap 2 high speed 120mm fans maybe the temp should be much better, the cooler looks insane, heat chamber and heatpipes with such high fin density scream for big powerful fans.
Yes - but as Wiz pointed out - in CF configurations this fan configuration would be better, especially if the PCI-E ports are tight together - or water cooling
I ran two ref 7970 on my gene and the top card gets in the mid 80's so I think this cooler is still a big fail Idk why would anyone would approve that cooler to make it to retail... Imo its ugly and looks like a getto mod
The fan noise is about where I expect it to be (loud) with five small fans and not acceptable. If I wanted a three-slot card, I'd get one of the other designs with 2 or 3 large, quiet fans on it. On of the major points about getting such a huge cooler is to have the damned thing run quiet, while delivering excellent cooling performance and overclocking. I'm not sure what Gigabyte were thinking with this one.
W1zzard, 7970 Ghz Edition has not been included in performance summary graphs, will you add its results from now on?
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/HD_7970_SOC/28.html thanks As for new games, I can not see any racing games. Can we expect DiRT Showdown soon?
i dropped dirt 3 because it kept giving inconsistent results which meant i had to rebench it all the time. wont include dirt showdown due to extreme amd bias. looking forward to f1 2012
great, but i think we should open another thread or tke it to pms because i don't think this is the place to talk about it.
Huzzah! Heatpipes + vapour chamber like I've been saying for ages, now for someone to solder the pipes INTO the chamber it's self. Shame the rest of the cooler is awful : / What were gigabyte thinking? They could of at-least gone with 3 fans at either end of the card so it could exhaust the hot air correctly.
Loads of cards came fitted with Accerelo extremes a year or 2 ago. They're much beefier ( and probably perform better with their 3 92mm fans and nearly having as much surface area as this cooler) Also Colorfire heatsinks are even beefier than that lol

woosterbillConnecticut 4.63/5 rDev -0.9% look: 1.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5 On-tap at the brewery, poured into a NEBCO pint glass. A: Cloudy, clearly unfiltered pale orange body with a significant amount of hop particulates floating around beneath a 1/2" head of fine tan foam that quickly fades into oblivion. Not exactly pretty. Matt claimed that this particular log was filled from the bottom of the brite tank and was therefore not a fair representation of how the beer typically looks, but I've got to review what's in my glass and what's in my glass is ugly. S: Who cares about appearance? This smells INCREDIBLE. Pure, heady Citra goodness. Fruity as hell (grapefruit, mango, grape) and terrifically resinous. If you love dank hops, you'll love this. T: Follows the nose. Rich, delicious, powerful hoppiness. Fruity up front, oily and resinous in the middle, and cleanly bitter on the finish. Not a hint of malt, and yet somehow the hops don't get oppressively bitter. It's both drinkable and intense at the same time. Perfection. M: Soft, frothy, medium-bodied. Perhaps a bit too airy, but really nice. O: What a terrific beer! Obviously it helps to get it the day it was conditioned, but I expect it will remain a truly delicious hop bomb for a while. It reminded me of the awesome IPAs from Willibrew - hideous to behold, but magical to taste. I can't wait to go into a beer bar and tell the bartender "Give me a glass full of Fuzzy Baby Ducks, please." You should, too. Cheers!

The aroma brings intense citrus, grapefruit, orange, lemon, whatever, it's there in spades almost to a sweet tart conclusion but it includes a little bready grain to give a touch of balance perhaps. I love it. The flavor is "grab your tongue", Hop Stoopid bitter with the continued hop theme along with a grainy suggestion. This stuff is near mid-bodied but the tiny, brisk carbonation gives it a very lively, summer refreshment feel. It's pretty intense and the flavor settles into a fruit syrup bite that still carries the grain goodness underneath the hop attack. Man I hope NEB sticks with this one. Sea Hag is a pleasant IPA that I'll always like, but this moves up there with Stowaway as one of my favorite new IPA's! Bravo Rob!

Off-white bubbles create a cool film atop the brew. Completely murky. Looks like some sort of fruit juice. Impressed by its complete lack of clarity. S-Wow. One of the juiciest, fruitiest citrus noses I have ever laid schnoz to. Unbelievably ripe and juice-laden. Tropical fruits galore. Even some banana aroma. Thank you Citra hop. Smooth malt of bread and biscuit. Like a muffin with oranges in it. T-Phenomenal. Like a deliciously bitter orange juice. Tons of grassiness loop around the intense citrus waves. Tropical fruitiness is deep and complex. Perfect amount of bitterness. Long lasting aftertaste. The hoppiness is impeccable. M-Ripe and juicy. Mellow carbonation. Bitterness that refuses to leave. The body is full and nearly chewy. Grapefruit juice feel. The body is only outdone by the taste. O/D-This could be the best by NEBCO so far. A lot like Galaxy Pale but the differences between the Galaxy hop and the Citra hop are clearly defined. NEBCO absolutely kills hoppy beers. This is one of the best non-imperial IPAs I have ever had. Hell, its up there with some of the best imperials I have had too. The Citra hop has been mastered here. I can't stop giving NEBCO's beers super-high reviews because their beers are consistently out of this world. Serving type: growler 06-21-2012 23:37:38 | More by VelvetExtract thecheapiesPennsylvania 4.41/5 rDev -5.6% look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 Thanks to wittyname again! Growler to pint. Pours a very hazy soap-amber color with a humble topper of white foam. It almost looks a little soapy. However, it does look damn refreshing! I smell pitted fruits, citrus, and floral hops. Fresh apricot, dried mango, tangerine, and guava. All of this touched by a rather delicate ale yeast that sweetens the aroma with the smell of oily nut flesh. Malts are candid and quite pale. Some sugar cookie mixed in here. Delectable. Nice acidic twang of hoppy bitterness upfront, but it cleans up quick and finishes with tropical fruits and attenuated citrus. Guava, tangerine, lemon zest, and papaya make up the fruitiness. Floral notes bounce around. Much drier than the aroma would let on. Very clean and zippy. Absolutely refreshing, too. Super-smooth body accented by some sparkling side-mouth effervescence. Sugar cookie from the nose turned into wine cracker in the flavor. Very pale malts with very little wort sugar to spare. Implied sweetness comes from the fruity hops. Dreamably drinkable. A one-after-another kind of beer. This is a fantastic IPA. So happy to have been gifted a full growler of this stuff to enjoy during a trying work week. Cheers! Serving type: growler 02-08-2013 03:45:58 | More by thecheapies Gambrinus1184Connecticut 4.18/5 rDev -10.5% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 Poured from a gorwler into a plain tumbler pint glass at Durge's. A: Poured a very hazy, bright yellow color with a two-finger head of frothy, white foam which hung around for most of the brew, leaving some decent lacing. S: Lots of complex, fruity and funky hop resins; grapefruit rind, a little catty, lemograss and herbal with flashes of peppery, skunk sweat. T: Big, brash and citrusy palate wrecked by an onslaught of highly acidic hop resins. Loads of sweet, bright, lemony flavors leap forward with very herbal and bitter hop flavors. A slight malt sweetness tries to cut the palate but this brew washes back with a slightly boozy, sharp and fresh hop whallop. M: Medium-full bodied IPA with lots of sticky hop resins, although the almost wheat-cracker malts keep things crisp and in somewhat of a balance. O: The 6.2% ABV is not necessarily a killer but the IBUs will surely inhibit your palate for a while. Calling Fuzzy Baby Ducks "one-dimensional" almost sounds like an insult, but I'll say it with the best intentions. Like they took Alpha Weizen and bred it with Sea Hag, this IPA is the bright, crushing IPA for summer that citrusy hopheads are longing for.

I bought a few growlers, blowing through my last one. This has a long-lasting head and a nice orangey color. Great sticky lacing. The smell is tropical, fruity, delicious. This beer is light in flavor, and by that I mean the hops are sweet and not sharp or abrasive. Citra really is a wonder-hop... this reminds me of a half-strength Citra from KRBC. And that's a very high compliment, as that's my top-rated beer. Not much malt base but that's fine with me as the hops are so delicious. 6.2% seems just about right for this one. A joy to drink. This one goes down too easily. I really really really like it, and hope NEBCO moves this one into regular rotation. One of the more delightful beers I've encountered as of late.

What an amazing nose! Tons of hops, pine, floral, and citrus. The pine and woodnotes are tremendous with grass and possibly peaches, and maybe even apricot. The flavor is equally awesome with puckering and tangy hops resembling sweet citrus, as well as fresh cut wood with more pine and grass. There is actually a hint of faint bready malt here as well. Lighter to medium in body with a fair amount of carbonation and a just plain awesome sticky, pungent, hoppy finish. Wow, is this beer good. Awesome stuff. Great flavors and aroma, so fresh and so clean.

Standard pour into a pint glass. Review coming from some notes I took on my phone...hey, ticks a tick! A - Bright orange hazy body. Small off white head. Not super impressive. S - Strong citra presence. Orange juice, tropical fruit, grapefruit, lemon and some lightly dank onion. Super juicy fruits with a touch of bready malts. T - The fruit is all over the place. Grapefruit, pineapple, lemons and limes, papaya, etc. Theres a bit of a grassy and danky onion presence. This is all smoothed out on the finish by some biscuity malt. Finishes dry and bitter with lasting citrus juice flavors. Really refreshing with tons of citrus hop flavors, drinks way too easily. Medium mouth feel. O - I missed my chance of getting a growler of this, so I was stoked to get to try this on tap. Amazing beer that really highlights the citra hop variety. I hope this gets brewed again next year! Serving type: on-tap 06-30-2012 23:28:17 | More by davey101 PahnNew York 4.88/5 rDev +4.5% look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5 64oz growler into Duvel tulip. Filled this afternoon; beer was released yesterday. Appearance: Free pour yields a 2 inch fluffy white head that dissipates slowly leaving thick webs of lacing. Pours an opaque light orange that seems to glow yellow. I love this look in an IPA; when I see a picture online of an opaque, nectary IPA like this, I want it to be in a glass in front of me, immediately. Smell: Citra in all its glory. The aroma of this beer promises an answer as to why beer geeks lust after Citra hop-forward beer. Powerful citrus (somewhere between lime and orange), highlighted by numerous tropical fruit notes with some weed/onion underneath. Biscuit backdrop from the malt provides less balance than mild counterpoint to the huge hop aroma; more of a bonus than anything else. Pushing a 5.0. Stays powerful and good throughout. Taste: Straightforward and delicious: citrusy, fruity hops up front quickly deepening with some pungent weed/onion influence, leading to a hit of healthy bitterness that's complemented by a slight toasty malt element. Gets really succulent and resinous, then finishes dry, with a hop aftertaste that changes as it lasts (melon, mysterious tropical fruits, the smell of greenhouses). With time, the hop flavors open up even further. Citrus remains strong, and the mild weed/onion (more weed) undertone is a constant as well, but a wide range of unexpected and good fruity hop flavors emerge as the beer warms. This beer gives a full display of the potential of Citra hops. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Slightly juicy, but more succulent. Perfect bitterness (above average without being overdone; keeps things crisp). Moderate carbonation. Perfectly dry (solid dryness, but not bone dry). Overall: This is just a perfect IPA. I'm tempted to make it my first all 5 beer (the aroma could be slightly more complex and pungent, and the look could have a bit better lacing). If I could forgo drinking every other beer and just have a pint (or two, or more) of this each day for the rest of this record-breakingly hot summer, I would. It is excellent, and exactly what I want to drink in hot weather. Note, while this review may sound like drunken exuberance, I have only had 1 glass... however, it will be a serious exercise in willpower not to kill the whole growler tonight.

The smell of the Citra knocks me out! Fantastic. The flavor , much like the smell is incredibly citrusy , grapefruit rind, lemony, grassy with just enough malt for the hops to launch off. I don't want to put the glass down.... I want to inhale whenever I'm not sipping. Mouthfeel medium-low , kind of exactly right with perfect carbonation. Drinkability is off the charts. When this went on tap at my local place, I was there three nights in a row until it kicked. They now refer to me as the Fuzzy Baby Duck Guy. Nicely done , NEB !

Had tons of the initial release, and couldn't wait for it to be brewed again. Had this on tap at New York Pizza in Plainfield. Brought to me in a pint glass, straight from the keg. Here we go. Appearance: Fuzzy Baby Ducks arrives to the table a Cloudy, almost dull, watered down orange juice color. About a finger of dense bright white foam capped this beer off. Awesome head retention. Plenty of thick lace was left sticking to the glass throughout the whole experience. Smell: Heavy hops up front, and plenty of them. Faint woody notes. Citrus and pine. Sweet malt is there, but is beaten down by the hops. Very pleasant nose. My discription just doesn't do it justice. Taste: Hops definitely rule this beer! Citrus fruit and pine really shine in this brew. Sweet , somewhat grainy malt background tries to stand up to the juicy hops, but again the hops rule. Bitter hop bit and dry finish. Can't get enough of this brew! Mouthfeel: Dry , super slick mouthfeel. Carbonation is spot on. Overall: NEBCO hits it out of the park again. Awesome drinkability, and great hop flavor.

Pumped to try this one after destroying back at the gym and a nice 2 mile 6 min 30 sec average run. Prepping for a backyard Olympics competition with oldcrustacean (3 rounds 5 minutes a piece in the ring, 3 tennis sets, bench/dead lift/squat competition). I had a nice chat with Rob the NEBC owner while enjoying this one. They are really killing it. Hazy orange body with a nice head and sticky lacing that hangs around. The smell is citrusy tropical hops. This beer is bitter but the tropical notes balance it out beautifully. Goes down so smooth... I thought it had a much lower ABV. Between this beer, the new sea hag formula, galaxy, ghandi bot, imperial stout trooper, and gold stock, this is one of my top breweries.

A - Vibrantly orange-amber hazy body with a finger of off-white head. Leaves a gigantic amount of lacing all over the glass. Maybe a little more body in the head would have been nice, but I probably poured this a little cold too. S - Pine to begin, immediately into guava/mango/stonefruit. Orange/lemon as it opens up. Tiny bit of the cat pee-ish Nelson Sauvin- esque aromas/weed. Insane. I could just sit here and smell this for days. T - Resiny pine makes my mouth feel fuzzy right away. Not hard to see where this name came from. Literally feels like the enamel's being stripped off my teeth. Some more classically hoppy flavors (grapefruit/etc), but then a huge hit of the tropical flavors. Leaves an awesome mango flavor in my mouth. Also insane. M - Fairly light but leaves a really nice slick feeling in the mouth. I would like it a little more carbonated, but I think my growler may have just lost a little pressure - when I tried this at the brewery on tap, it was more carbed. Incredibly sessionable. No ashiness or cloying sweetness left behind at all. Just wonderful tropical hops. O - Susan might be better. Might. Would need to try them side by side. Other than that, never had a "regular" IPA that even touches this. Go now.

Day two of the beer's existence. A - It pours a very murky yellow/orange. Very little head, as just a few bubbles rise to the surface. S - Smells great. A ton of hoppy citrus aromas. Just a truly great smelling IPA. T - Taste very much follows the smell. Lots of citrus flavors, hop bitterness. The bitterness is really at a nice level, not too over the top, but just right and it lasts a while. M - A little on the thin side. Also, it lacks a bit in the carbonation department. O - Love this IPA. Sounds like it is only going to be brewed once a year, which is too bad. Would love to see this available more often. Would also be great if this was bottled.

Poured a vibrant yellow, just an awesome, perfect color for an IPA. Slightly hazy with a 1 finger white head. Really good lacing on this beer all the way through til the end. What a treat for the nose! Big citrus aroma, orange comes out big here. Didn't focus on smell too much because I was too excited for the taste. Perfection. Crisp, clean, refreshing, this is what every IPA should taste like. Big citrus up front (much like heady) grapefruits and orange dominate the taste but the malts are there as well. The bitterness factor is perfect! Not too bitter but just enough of a hop bite that an IPA should have. Citra hops > anything, wish I could have given the taste a 6. Mouthfeel is right in line with the best of them. Most drinkable beer I've ever had, could easily have 4-5 glasses of this on a nice summer day. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, perfect for an IPA. Overall NEBCO really proved how great their brewers are with this beer. Fuzzy Baby Ducks can go toe to toe with any IPA in the world and there will be few, if any, that are better. Loved every second of drinking this and we can only hope it is brewed again next year. Call me bias, a local front runner, whatever you want, but this is just perfection in a glass.

This is a non biased opinion even though they are my favorite brewery and easily the best in CT, if not New England. I was also the first person to receive a growler of this!(or so I was told, thought that was cool) The look of this beer is just a glowing yellow that is mouthwatering. The smell is pure citra. From grapefruit to lemon, grass, and lime its perfect The taste is worth saying its the best citra IPA ive had. I run a liquor store and couldn't resist sampling this to customers out of my growler who were worthy of having this. It is so refreshing and light, but full bodied and perfect at the same time. I could drink this beer in the middle of winter, or on the hottest day of the year, which happened to be the day I got it. Overall I wish this beer was bottled and year round, but I know they cant get the citra hops year round because of the small size of the brewery. Although this will be an awesome treat once a year. NEBCO just does things with hops/beer i'll never understand and frankly dont care to as long as they keep doing it. I would put this beer up against any across the country anyday. a 10 out of 10 to me, love everything NEBCO does, please dont ever change. 10 out of 10...CHEERS Serving type: growler 06-25-2012 05:45:54 | More by bnewall3 Taylor8189Connecticut 4.68/5 rDev +0.2% look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5 Just had this beer on cask from a local bar.

Gives you an idea of whats to come. T- Taste is fantastic, grapefruit takes over here. I think the cask makes some of the malts stick out a bit more as well unless thats just how this beer is. I've never had it any other way than today, from a cask. M- Feel is perfect. Very drinkable but still holds a nice body to it. Overall, this beer is fantastic.

Shocked and impressed that NEBco fills a 64oz growler of this stuff for $10. Bravo. And feel free to charge me $15-$18 next time. Bullet points: This beer has one of the best smells of any of the ipa's i've tried. It looks awesome too - golden with lacy, white head. Tastes good, light and refreshing... and with a mid range abv, it's close to a sessionable beer. It's a little more bitter than I would like, but balanced as other reviewers have said. Final Judgement: Fuzzy Baby Ducks is a great IPA. You'd be a quack not to try it if given the chance, but don't "fly" too far south or north to get some... instead buy some of their canned DIPA (Gahndi Bot) or do a trade. It's as good or better. And we can always hope they can or bottle this stuff because the label would be top 10.

Bottom Lounge
SECOND COMING The way Mike Miller sees it, the new Bottom Lounge is "a slam dunk." Brought in as a third partner by Bottom Lounge owners Brian Elmiger and Dan Miskowicz, Miller's job is to add a food and drink element to the lounge's already-solid rep as a music venue. After three years of struggling with the city to relocate after a CTA expansion booted Bottom Lounge from its original location, the new-and-improved 2.0 version is open for business. The massive space includes a live-music room that's already booking acts ranging from Office to Witchcraft; an upstairs "Volcano Room," which Miller is turning into a rum palace, with 80 varieties on offer; and a main-floor restaurant and bar, with a pub-grub menu developed by Toon's Bar and Grill's Danny Beck and a 100-bottle-strong beer list. Permits are pending for the rooftop deck, which will offer a stellar skyline view. "Music is a way of life, not to be experienced as individuals like people do now," Miller says. "so I'm calling this place MySpace for livers and Facebook for face-to-face interaction." 1375 W Lake St (312-666-6775).

Awful place, bedbugs, cockroaches, unpleasant staff, extra fee to access the bathroom in the corridor (to take a shower!), weird hosts. I went there because it is quite well located in Paris (in front of a metro station) and very cheap, but now I understand why...! I had a terrible experience with bedbugs (I got bitten more than 30 times,... More
