Sapphire 4870 Toxic
Anyone who has heard of ATI video cards has probably heard of Sapphire Technology. Sapphire is the largest producer of AMD/ATI graphics products in the world, and do far more than rebrand a product with their own label. The Radeon HD 4000 series launched with tremendous success not long ago, and Sapphire has tweaked the design to produce their own high-performance Toxic Edition of the popular Radeon HD 4870 video card. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the 100243TXSR graphics card against the competition to find out if a factory-overclocked model is worth the money.
At some undetermined point in late June of 2008, ATI and AMD each gained ground on the competition in small steps. AMD launched several enthusiast-level processors, lifting them up out of a wild tailspin. Around the same time, ATI launched their Radeon HD 4850 video card which competes directly with the GeForce 9800 GTX. Then, after a few on-again off-again launch dates, NVIDIA and ATI did an excellent job of confusing the community with a barrage of product launches. NVIDIA came out swinging with their GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 video cards, and ATI retaliated with the Radeon HD 4870 featuring the industries first implementation of GDDR5 video memory.
Of course, none of these manufacturers simply released their products and sat on their hands. NVIDIA followed up with the GeForce 9800 GTX+, a 55nm part that would better cope with the now-popular Radeon HD 4850. Sapphire, ATI's most popular partner, answered back with a 'Toxic' version of the 4850 that offered improved performance through factory overclocking and after-market cooling. Not long afterwards, ZOTAC, and NVIDIA AIC (Add-in Card) partner, responded with their GeForce GTX 260² which updated the GPU from 192 to 216 cores. Perhaps it's only natural to have Sapphire get the last word in, with their Radeon HD 4870 Toxic Edition video card.
So while everyone thought that AMD was sinking into a dark abyss, ATI went and unveiled their Radeon HD 4000 series and proved the critics all wrong. The Radeon HD 4870 is their current single-GPU flagship, and has earned a high level of well-deserved distinction. Sapphire has followed-up this pattern by adding some stand-out features of their own. Benchmark Reviews tests the Radeon HD 4870 Toxic edition video card from Sapphire. This RV770 graphics solution offers factory overclocked performance and a more efficient cooling solution.
We live in a world where a company that produces the most powerful video card available is usually regarded as the leader in graphics technology. There is a certain amount of truth to this to be fair, but it's not always good to be the king. I imagine NVIDIA has to be getting a little tired of constantly polishing the throne in a lonely palace, especially after their recent launch of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 offered just as much to gamers as it did to multimedia editors. But what happens to everyone else who doesn't have enough gold to buy a piece of the kingdom?
The Radeon 4800-series is what happens. Ever since AMD purchased ATI, not only have times been tough for chipmakers, but our national economy has gone down the moat. Adding to the frustration for AMD was a series of flawed product launches and less-than-spectacular performance from those products that actually worked. So when you're living out in the stables with livestock, you learn to make the best of what you have. This is what it appears ATI has done with their latest Radeon HD 4850, and improved upon in the 4870 graphics card.

The Owen County girls track team competed on Tuesday night at the NCKC Meet at Walton-Verona. The girls finished second overall behind the Lady Bearcats of Walton-Verona.
The Owen County Rebels have a new football coach and it is a familiar face.
T.J. Wesselman will lead the Rebels next season as Adam Fowler stepped down after the 2015 season. Fowler had been on the sidelines the previous eight seasons.
As for his new job, Wesselman said the program is in good place thanks to Fowler.
"I've got big shoes to fill thanks to coach Fowler who did a tremendous job with our kids over the past eight years," Wesselman said.
Rebels standout Carson Williams traveled to Louisville Friday night to participate in the 2016 Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic at Freedom Hall.
Williams also played in the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches All-Star Game Saturday at Transylvania University in Lexington. He scored 19 points.
The Owen County Lady Rebels reached the championship game of the 31st District Tournament a season ago. In doing so they defeated Gallatin County in the semifinals and two more times during the regular season.
The Lady Rebels picked up in 2016 where they left off last year against 31st District rivals when they hosted the Lady Wildcats last Wednesday. Owen County got on the board first in the bottom of the third and went on to win the game 5-0. Megan Wilhoite picked up the win on the mound as she held Gallatin County to four hits.
The Owen County baseball team picked up a conference victory last week against the newest member of the NCKC.
The Rebels welcomed the Lloyd Juggernauts to Dunavent Field last Tuesday. It was the first meeting between the two schools on the diamond since the Juggernauts joined the North Central Kentucky Conference.
The track team hosted the Owen County Gold Medal Meet on Thursday night. Both the girls and the boys came out on top when the night was complete. The two teams bested Grant County, Frankfort and Carroll County.
In the girl's meet, Owen County finished with 118 points. Grant County was second with 59, Frankfort third with 26 and Carroll County fourth with 17. The Lady Rebels finished first in a total of twelve events.
The University of the Cumberlands swept a double-header last Tuesday against Montreat College. In doing so, their manager, Owen County native Brad Shelton, became the winningest coach in school history.
The two victories gave Shelton 503 wins at the school, breaking the old mark of 502 held by Terry Stigall who coached at the Cumberlands for 19 seasons. Shelton breaks the record while in his 16th season.
While Shelton gets credits for the wins in the history book the coach was quick to acknowledge all of those who helped him reach the special milestone.
The University of the Cumberlands is enjoying success this season thanks to a pair of Owen County alums.
Their head coach, Brad Shelton, just became the school's all-time winningest coach while senior Stone Osborne is finding success both in the field and at the plate.
Rebels standout Carson Williams was named the Kentucky team's MVP during Saturday's 25th annual all-star game at Thomas More College, featuring top players from Ohio and other Kentucky schools. Williams scored 18 points during the contest. The Kentucky team fell to Ohio by two points in a 94-92 loss.
It was a spring break trip to the lovely city of Madisonville for the Owen County baseball team. The Rebels enjoyed their stay, winning three of the four games they played.
Last Tuesday, the team had no problems with Webster County as the Rebels dismantled the Trojans 13-0 in five innings. Michael Dunaway picked up the win on the mound allowing just three hits while striking out nine batters. Austin Fitzgerald drove in four runs while Grant Cobb scored three times.

Street 7 Markara, Old Market Area, Siem Reap
0.6 km from
staff were friendly. breakfast good. room was very spacious. Whirlpool tub in room was fun. Pool area is lovely. The staff were very nice but had very limited English so that was difficult to get advice, directions, etc. The really bad thing was no light at front doorway the morning I was leaving at 5 am to go watch sunset at Angkor Wat. Staff gave me wake up call then went back to sleep on bench in lobby. When I walked out front hotel door, I tripped on uneven paving stones (no light so pitch black) and twisted my ankle. The rest of the day my walking was very limited. Manager was apologetic when I finally found in later in the day, but the damage was done and I still have a sore ankle. Keycard controlled electricity in room so frig went off during the day, so was useless. very hot in Siem Reap and blanket was too warm. By 3rd night I thought to ask for extra sheet to cover with instead of blanket.
The room was fantastic. Large, spacious, and clean. Hardwood floors and stone showers and fixtures, simple but elegant. The staff was very helpful, and there was a pool (that I did not use). The placement was good, a short walk from the busiest parts of town. In an ideal world, it would have more facilities. But that would really be asking too much given the price.
We just returned from a week stay at the Khmer Mansion Hotel and can not fully express the extent of our satisfaction. Staff is very friendly and helpful. By the end of our first day I think the entire staff had approached us individually to introduce themselves. The remainder of our stay we were greeted by name and asked if we required anything more.It was not unusual for the chef to come out of the kitchen and asked if we were satisfied with our meal, which we always were. I have never experienced this level of service before and have no problem recommending this hotel to anyone visiting Siem Reap.. Noise from bar next door could be heard at night in the open hallway but was not a problem in our room.
The staff was super friendly and sincerely concerned about our stay. Every time we saw any member of the staff, they were asking about our room, our sleep, our food, everything. And every time we returned to the hotel, they greeted us with a glass of cold water and asked about our day and the places we visited. The hotel felt new and clean, the room was nice, and the location was very convenient and easy to navigate to from Pub Street. We would definitely come back! Some construction going on next door; not really a big deal for us, and the hotel can't avoid it. Also the loud club music next door, but it ended around 10pm. At 10pm you should still be out enjoying the nightlife yourself, or at least getting a last-minute massage. The staff actually told about both of these issues when we checked in, and apologized for the inconvenience.
Spa-like rooms are light-filled and stylishly designed. Lovely pool. The staff was incredibly helpful booking transportation to and from the airport, finding dining options, or arranging a tour of the temples. You definitely feel well looked-after while a guest here. Location was a short, easy walk from the night market, pub street, and some terrific restaurants. Superior dining options will be found around town, but the breakfasts and lunch we had at the hotel were adequate, and the juice and cocktails from the bar were refreshingly on-point. No complaints.
Pretty good location, good price Bathroom smelled like mildew, killed a couple spiders in the room. They list a free airport transfer, but never responded to email requests to schedule, and apparently it's only FROM the airport, not back TO the airport. No way in hell is this a 4 star.
One of the best we hotels we had on 3 week trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. Well built, quiet rooms! Spacious. Balcony (but too hot out to use). Clean. Friendly staff. Large breakfast buffet. Very convenient location. Pool. Hard bed, but not as hard as other hotels on trip.
Convenience - Very well located, steps away from the main streets (pub street, old market) yet quiet. Polite staff

The location was perfect, the staff very courteous and the facilities were quite nice.
Very good location of the hotel; front desk staff are nice and helpful. Housekeeping is so so. they forgot to reload toilet paper and free drinking bottles when they cleaned the room.
Convenience - Very well located, steps away from the main streets (pub street, old market) yet quiet. Polite staff
Close to market area but quiet. It has all the necessary function in hotel. Laundry service and bicycle just few houses away. Convenient location. Mosquito is a big problem as they don't provide mosquito net. We had be bother by the mosquito for all night and end up not getting good sleep. It is a problem for all hotels in that area.
Fantastic!! I could not use enough complimentary words to describe the excellence of our stay at this great place. I cannot think of anything degratory about this place.
Helpful staff, around the corner from Pub St- easy walk, clean and comfortable rooms, quiet restaurant. We enjoyed our 4 night stay
Defenitly, the location in town. Very close to the Old Market and the Pub Streets The staff needs better english

Garden proves a blessing to Plum food pantry
Gardening is one of Abby Kraeer's favorite activities.
Kraeer, 15, each summer enjoys tending to the tomatoes, green peppers and herbs in her family's garden at their home in the Holiday Park section of Plum.
Kraeer, a member of the Senior Youth Faith Formation class at Our Lady of Joy Catholic Church in Plum, combined her love of gardening and her desire to help others in a project that benefited the Plum Food Pantry.
The Senior Youth Faith Formation Class is a religious-education program for high-school students.
The youth group members, under the direction of Kraeer, in May planted "God's Garden" on the church grounds.
"I love gardening, and I wanted to figure out a way to put it into something to help others," said Kraeer, who formerly volunteered at the Plum Food Pantry that is located in the Holiday Park United Methodist Church.
The garden consisted of cherry tomatoes, green peppers, zucchini and green beans.
"It was a slow start," Kraeer said. "Everything was dying and wilting."
A pivotal event turned around the garden's fortune, Kraeer said.
The garden began to prosper after the Rev. Al Zapf, church pastor, conducted a "blessing of the garden."
"It was gynormous," Kraeer said.
The youth group members harvested the vegetables, and Kraeer went about planning a soup-and-sandwich luncheon at the church Oct. 14.
The vegetables were blended into a soup that was served to those who attended the event.
Participants gave donations and received a jar of soup to take home.
Kraeer and other group members presented the proceeds from the soup/sandwich luncheon – about $260 – to the food pantry Oct. 16.
Food pantry director Joe Utterback said he is grateful for the work that went into the project and the donation.
"The work done by the youth group is fantastic," said Utterback of Plum.
"I think it's absolutely fantastic. And Abby is a great kid."
Utterback said the money will be used to stock the pantry with supplies, particularly for the Thanksgiving dinner food distribution.
Jane Siatkosky, religious education coordinator at Our Lady of Joy, said she is impressed with Kraeer's initiative and perseverance.
"It was an expression of her heart filled with care for other people," Siatkosky said.
Kraeer credits Siatkosky with supporting her endeavor.
"(Siatkosky) jumped on the wagon right away," Kraeer said.
Kraeer said she plans bigger and better things next summer.
"I'm going to expand the garden next year," she said.
"I don't know how big it will turn into. But I want to keep giving to the Plum Food Pantry and open it up to other causes."
Karen Zapf is a staff writer for Trib Total Media. She can be reached at 412-856-7400, ext. 8753, or email@example.com.

The Cubs are ecstatic over Starlin Castro's ability to handle the pressure of the leadoff spot, though he might not be there for long.
With Marlon Byrd entering Monday's game with four RBIs and a .150 average (3-for-20) with runners in scoring position, the Cubs eventually may have to move Castro into the No. 3 hole to get more run production out of that spot.

A bit hard to find because it's in an apartment building with no clear signs of a hostel - just the name on the buzzer. No one was coming when we first buzzed but once in, hostel was great. Gender specific washrooms, good air conditioning. Small hostel! Ana was great, very helpful.

Forget about making a list or checking it twice. Everyone I talk to — employed or unemployed — says all they want for the holidays are some Tampa Bay jobs.
Housing can't rebound if people aren't working. Retailers can't sell much if consumers can't find work or worry about keeping their jobs. Commercial real estate can't fill their too-vacant buildings if tenant companies aren't adding people.
More than 1 million Floridians are unemployed. That's roughly one of every 15 jobless folks in the nation. In sheer numbers, only California has more unemployed.
"People are not going to come to Tampa Bay if there are no jobs, if there is no track for jobs," warns Pat Leardo. The real estate development adviser on Friday presented a summary of distressing real estate trends for 2010 assembled by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute at a conference held at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg.
Suddenly, the nation has realized that finding ways to get people back to work really is Job One. But we're all struggling over how to hurry the recovery from such a severe recession.
The notion propelled the White House — as if it is not already on overload — to sponsor a job summit this past Thursday attended by President Barack Obama, his chief economic leaders and dozens of top execs running such companies as AstraZeneca, Eastman Kodak, Boeing, Ethan Allen and the Walt Disney Co.
The outcome? Not much of substance. Maybe there's a role for yet another government stimulus to encourage more jobs. But the real heavy lifting belongs to the private sector.
If only businesses felt like hiring.
Friday's burst of good news, of course, is that the national unemployment rate actually fell to 10 percent in November from 10.2 percent in October. Florida's unemployment rate is much higher, 11.2 percent in October but barely up from 11.1 percent in September.
That certainly hints we're approaching a jobless peak in the state. But we won't get the statewide November unemployment figure until Dec. 18.
Friday's national unemployment data indicated more companies are hiring temporary workers. That's notable because upswings in temp workers are often early indicators of an increase in hiring.
I tested that theory Friday in an interview with Ryan Skubis, Central Florida district director in Tampa of Robert Half International, the parent of such temp agencies we recognize as Accountemps, Office Team, Management Resources among other familiar names.
Temp work is rising quite nicely, Skubis said, especially in the past several weeks.
"A lot of businesses reduced their staffs a lot to drive their costs lower," he said. "Now they are beginning to find they need some help, though many are not ready to make a full-time hire."
The biggest demand here? Accounting workers, financial analysts and call centers.
Thanks, Santa, if you had anything to do with this. Any news about hiring is a gift.

Washington Driving These Stock Ideas
As the markets balk in the face of big round numbers (16,000 on the Dow, 1800 on the S&P 500, 4000 on the Nasdaq), and as Obamacare's troubled rollout has sucked the political oxygen out of Congress, Washington may nevertheless be a source for investment ideas. Three I'll mention here involve auto dealers, dredging companies and the drug manufacturer Regeneron (REGN).
Particularly interesting may be the auto dealers (CarMax (KMX), AutoNation (AN), Group 1 Automotive (GPI), Sonic Automotive (SAH), Asbury Automotive Group (ABG), Penske Automotive Group (PAG) and Lithia Motors (LAD)). These stocks have beaten the S&P for five years straight, but they have paused since September as sales data finally showed a decline and the 16-day government shutdown further slowed consumers in October....638 more words left in this article.

Consolidation, Ho?
How high will the oils go? They have been on a rampage, with the S&P Composite 1500 Energy Index up 15.5% so far this year vs. a 0.8% fall by the S&P 500-stock index. Some experts, including Fadel Gheit, oil guru at Oppenheimer & Co., figure that oil stocks are still way undervalued, based not only on the rising prices (crude topped $51 a barrel on Feb.22) but on proven reserves. And the industry, he asserts, is "ripe for mergers."
Charles LaPorta of Standard & Poor's is also upbeat. He says the group will earn "superior returns on capital" as a result of tight supplies and lofty prices. Adds Gheit: The oil majors are "now making more money than they can spend and are not exploring for oil -- and that spells consolidation." Topping his list of buyout targets is Anadarko Petroleum (APC ), a large oil-and-gas explorer and producer operating in Alaska, Louisiana, the Gulf of Mexico, the Rocky Mountains, and Texas. Its stock has soared from 49 a year ago to 70.78 on Feb. 23. Most deals in the industry are done at an average price of $12 a barrel, Gheit notes, so he values Anadarko's 2.4 billion barrels of reserves at $28.28 billion, or 117 a share. Gheit says Anadarko is "being courted by several deep-pocket majors," which he declines to name. Anadarko is trading at nine times his estimated 2005 earnings of $7.74 a share, vs. 2004's $6.36, and five times his 2005 cash-flow estimate of $14 a share. David Heikkinen of Hibernia Southcoast Capital recently upped Anadarko from hold to buy. Anadarko declined comment.

I'm sorry for my dirty english.
My both cards never works on my Alix board. Unfortunatly, the Atheros
9220 never tested with other hardware, the Intel 200BG works fine in my
laptop on... Windows ! In old time I have put FreeBSD on this laptop,
but I do not remember if wireless interface work.
I have tested with Zeroshell Linux on my Alix board, strange config,
wireless would'nt work.
I will try to install a real FreeBSD or another Linux version... But
this solution is not very good for me.
Of course, disociate elements of a network is better, a real AP with a
real Router and a real Firewall is the best... But that archithecture
demands three hardware box ! A AP runing on m0n0wall, it's only one box.

Woodward & BrownThe Woodward & Brown Piano Company was established in Boston in 1843 by Isaac Woodward & Brown. Their first factory was located at 293 Washington Street, but due to their great success they continued to expand and moved to 387 Washington Street in 1860. In 1885, the firm moved again to larger factories at 175 Washington then yet again in 1895 to 200 Tremont Street. The firm was known for building extremely high quality square grand pianos during the 19th Century, with a handful of upright models also available in the 1870's. Woodward & Brown was known for building extremely high quality, expensive pianos, and they were well respected in the industry. There is no mention of the firm after the turn-of-the-century, indicating that they went out of business before 1900.

A BRAVE Multiple Sclerosis sufferer will ski down the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest three times in as many days in a gruelling challenge in March.
Olly Keith, from Silverdale, who was diagnosed with MS two years ago, will tackle the 'Monsterski' challenge at Tignes – on the French-Italian border – in March.
Monsterski invites people to take on a vertical descent of 90,000 feet over three days – that is like skiing down Mount Everest each day.
The 50-year-old consultant orthodontist with the Morecambe Bay Hospitals Trust, is aiming to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Trust.
She said "Before I was diagnosed with MS I was a keen skiier and when was looking at ways of raising money for the trust online I saw the Monsterski.
"The event has been running for a few years and I had thought about doing it last year. But when I looked at it again in the summer I decided to sign up."
MS is a progressively debilitating illness, which affects around 100,000 people in the UK, and has already hindered her training for the epic task.
She said: "I used to ski well but went down recently to an indoor centre in Manchester and found it incredibly difficult."
Just before Christmas Olly went on a skiing holiday to see how she might fare in the challenge and managed 9,500ft in one day.
Ans she said she would go into the challenge with the motive 'no guts, no glory'.
She added: "We will be going full pelt from first thing in the morning to the last thing at night with a brief stop for lunch so I realise the task ahead.
"However, I am really determined and want to do what I can while I am still able."
