On the Map examines the European history of Sault Ste. Marie
The European history of the Sault starts in the sixteen-hundreds, when explorers arrived.
Bernie Arbic is a long time resident of Sault Ste. Marie Michigan. We talked Sault history on the deck behind his home. He said an under-appreciated bit of history is the French influence. "The first European to be in this area, was a Frenchman, Etienne Brule, he was here, I give the date 1620 just because that's such an iconic date in our history, give or take a couple years maybe, 1618, 1622, sometime this young Frenchman was this far in the interior."
To give you a perspective on how early that was… "This area was known to the French almost 50 years before they knew anything about the Detroit River," Arbic said. "We tend to think everything comes from the south, I like to say the first man to visit Detroit made his travel arrangements with an agent here in Sault Ste Marie, 'cause we do pre date Detroit by about 50 years in terms of the European knowledge of geography."
Arbic said when the French discovered Sault Ste Marie, they were searching for the Northwest Passage. Because of the rapids, they had to stop. Since they were fur traders, they set up a trading post. They interacted with Native people, and then, as the story often goes, they tried to 'save' them."First mission was established here in 1668 by Father Marquette, that's, he's perhaps the best known of the french explorers."
Sault Ste Marie survived on the fur trade for many years. Then in the 1800's the city took leaps forward. In 1822, Fort Brady was built. Thirty years later, one of the Sault's most famous attractions appeared. Although, Arbic said, the Soo locks of the mid-1800's looked and operated differently than the ones tourists visit today. " The first lock opened in 1855, and it was really, it was built by the state of Michigan, they charged tolls, uh, it was what's called a tandem, a pair of locks really, now a days, ever since 1881, the locks is a single chamber, with a 20 ft lift, the first looks were two in tandem, with 10 ft lifts."
But, Arbic said, the building boom of the 1800's wasn't done yet. in 1888, the railroad was built. And that brought in tourists."In the late 1800s folks that would run people down the rapids in a canoe. For some reason it seems to be mostly women that wanted to do it, that's kind of interesting it, wearing hats and stuff, and here they are shooting the rapids with these two Native American river guides, taking them down the rapids, so, there were, there were those things; fishing and shooting the rapids."
Sault Ste Marie had one more use for it's precious river. In 1898, construction began on a hydroelectric power plant. Think of it as a sort of farewell to the 19th century. Work was completed in 1902, and the city began harnessing the power of the St Mary's to light homes and businesses. Even today the plant produces power.
Some of the notable industries in the Sault included Union Carbide and Northwestern Leather; both major employers for half a century. Fort Bradley was decommissioned; the property is now home to Lake Superior State University. In 1962 the International Bridge opened, linking Sault Ste Marie Michigan with its Ontario sister-city.
Time has changed the city, but the river has provided consistency. It is Sault Ste Marie's past, present and undoubtedly it's future. Continue reading

Keeping pets safe and secure over the holiday weekend
Whether your Independence Day celebrations will take place at home, on a beach or in a park. The busyness – and noise – of the weekend can be unsettling for pets.
Some organizations say more pets are lost during the Fourth of July period than any other time of year.
Jason is a Dispatch Supervisor with the Grand Traverse 911 Dispatch. He said it's good to take basic precautions.
"Keep an eye on the pets. If you're going to be distracted by a bunch of people coming to visit you, make sure they either in a fenced yard or on a leash or in a house. Somewhere where they're not going to be able to run free when you look in the other direction".
Trout Trails web tool helps anglers find new fishing destinations
If you don't have a fishing buddy for the holiday weekend, the Department of Natural Resources says it's got you covered. The state has released a new web tool to help anglers find just the right river or lake to fish for trout.
Trout Trails is a web-based map that gives information on waters that fisheries biologists say are good for trout. Some of the sites, the DNR says, are lesser- known, but outstanding trout fishing destinations.
Suzanne Stone is with the DNR Fisheries Division.
She said the web site is intended to make anglers feel like they're going fishing with an old fishing buddy. A buddy who has a lot of information about the area, "Like how fast the water was, was it a stream or river, what was the best time to fish in any certain lake or the season, and then provide directions to the site, both written as well as a link that would take them to Google Maps".
Stone said Trout Trails provides information on 129 trout destinations.

Film screening tells the story of a woman who rescues children from Nepalese prisons
At public radio, we love good stories. When we heard about Pushpa Basnet (push-pah bas-net) we knew we had to share her story.
Basnet is a Napalese woman who – for hundreds of children – has become Mamu.
Waiting for Mamu – 1 It's a slang term for mother. It's like another mother. It's not your real mother, not your biological mother, all the kids call her Mamu.
That's Thomas Morgan, a CMU graduate and documentary film maker who has created the film "Waiting for Mamu" It tells the story of how Basnet rescues children from prisons in Nepal.
Thomas Morgan said he was blown away when he met Pushpa Basnet. What the young woman, now 30-years old, dedicated her life to is saving children from prison.
Morgan said in Nepal, if a parent is sentenced to prison, the children often go to prison with them. "It's not that the government is trying to be punitive in dealing with these children, or in some way trying to imprison children, It's just such a ridiculously poor country that they don't have any social services. There's no place else for them to go. It's the street by themselves or it's with the parents in prison. And so That's the best option they have."
Morgan said Basnet met a little girl in prison when she was there for a social work class. She promised the girl she'd come back for her. She did that and then some. Today Basnet cares for more than 40 children. Kids that she rescued from Nepalese prisons. "Her life would be a lot easier if she didn't do this," Morgan said. "She comes from a caste that's not supposed to serve a lower caste, and so that, in and of itself, was one hurdle. And then to be a strong woman in Nepal is not something that's typical. It's usually very much a male-dominated society, and so she's really amazing and to think that she's just 30 and has been doing this for ten-years, it's just incredible."
With the help of supporters, Morgan said, Basnet finally raised enough money to build a care facility for her kids. A complex where they can live.It's called the Butterfly House. But as the house was nearing completion, it was badly damaged by an earthquake that devastated Nepal in April. Basnet and her kids moved into tents in a field.
Morgan said the Butterfly house will be rebuilt.
"The house itself will actually be better. Because of the earthquake, they've gone back in and we were able to bring in earthquake engineers from the US embassy in Nepal and have them look at it and make suggestions, and now they're going back and re-inforcing. It will be safer than any building standard that they've had in the past and will actually be better when it's completed."
Morgan describes Pushpa Basnet as an inspirational force of nature. She was named CNN's Hero of the Year in 2013. Morgan said in the past decade Basnet has helped more than 200 kids. Today 100 are still in prison with their parents, Waiting for Mamu.
A screening of the documentary "Waiting for Mamu" is scheduled Wednesday night at 7pm in the Park Library Auditorium on the campus of CMU. It is free and open to the public.
MDOT continues to keep travelers safe with Mi Drive App's first update
Looking to drive around Michigan? There's an app for that The Michigan Department of Transportation has updated its MI Drive app.
Jeff Cranson, MDOT Director of Communications said the app uses cameras to notify users in real time. Users are also able to save their favorite cameras.
"Everything we do is about safe travel and trying to help people avoid congestion, avoid construction zones, anything that causes backups because it's in backups that people get impatient and do things that can lead to crashes," Cranson said.
Cranson said he hopes to see more cameras in rural areas.
The MI Drive App was originally released in November. The new version has faster loading speed and new map layers.
Cransons said it also helps cut down on pollution as well.
"It's about the environment because any time you can avoid congestion and sitting stalled in traffic, you're not idling, and you're conserving fuel and cutting down on emissions too," he said.
Transportation officials say they plan to continue updating the app as it receives feedback.
State Transportation Director Kirk Steudle said the app has some 38,000 downloads.

Putting a face on poverty
We're into the final day of our Warm Hearts, Warm Homes campaign. Tuesday, we'll be done raising funds and back to our usual programming. But for the people who need the funds that we generate, the "winter campaign" is just beginning. They're strategizing ways to keep the car running, buy Christmas gifts for loved ones and keep their homes warm, through December, and for four-or-five more months.
Amy Robinson spoke with a woman who says she has needed heating assistance before, and likely will again. Amber said she wanted to talk with us to help put a face on poverty. She said this is her way to help give back
Amber is one of the people you might pass on the street or know know as a casual friend, and you'd have no idea that her family is struggling. You know the term "working poor"? Let me introduce you to someone who fits the description. "I work 40-hours a week in an assisted living home making minimum wage. I love the work, Amber said. My husband is currently unemployed, but is looking, which makes life more difficult."
Amber earns about $300 a week for a family of four. She has a lot of experience in juggling small amounts of money to meet large problems. "Your car can break down and that can take hundreds of dollars, and that would be money that maybe you had to put toward your electric bill. sometimes it comes down to, do I pay my electric bill? Do I pay my car insurance? Do I go without a phone? It's not cut and dried, it's not black and white. You have to make choices every day and with children you have to say, ok what needs to my kid need met?"
Amber lives in a rural area. That means transportation is a constant concern. She said her most recent vehicle died, so she bought a car from a cousin. She's making small payments until she can pay it off with her tax return. Unfortunately bargain basement vehicles can come with a host of mechanical problems "Come to find out that it needed a new fuel pump so my dad is working on the fuel pump and putting in the power steering pump, and then I should be back on the road." At least until something else breaks. That's the thing with old cars…
Amber said she has needed heating assistance before. Last winter, of course, was a bad one. She said she doesn't think her family would have made it through without the help of Eight Cap, that's the community action agency that serves Gratiot, Ionia, Isabella, and Montcalm counties.
Despite the help Eight Cap has been able to offer, Amber said she has had her heat shut off. The propane tank went dry. When that happened, she says she relied on small electric heaters. She described her family as fortunate because they had a heater in each room. Amber said some of her happiest memories were made in cold rooms; In the middle of a Michigan winter with an empty propane tank, and an electric heater struggling to keep up, snuggled under a blanket, watching a Christmas movie with her daughters. If you're getting the impression that this lady is irrepressibly positive, you're right. "Just because you can't afford to pay your utilities, it doesn't mean you're less of a person", she said. "If you can find any way to make your family happy and create happy memories"
Amber said that's her game plan: Keep her daughters safe and happy, and work hard at her job. There is nothing glamorous about working in assisted living. But Amber said she's come to really care for the residents. She said she's gotten better lately at mindfulness, living in the moment. and it helps. "In my line of work, I see a lot of vulnerability. I see complete helplessness. I see sadness. And, it's not something you want to focus on. If I can take five-minutes to realize that I am sitting here with a friend in a coffee shop. You know, everything is not the end of the world. I have two beautiful daughters that I have to take care of , so I have to find a way to get to Mt Pleasant to get heating. That's ok. Because I'm not the only one and I do have a happy life".
Of course, "happy" can take on a new meaning during the holidays. Caring and togetherness, is great. Trying to arrange for gifts and a meal for your family; not so much. Amber said friends have stepped up to help with her Christmas, and she's grateful. She's made the choice to be happy. And not just for the holidays. "I can either look at it as 'woe is me, my life is horrible, I can't afford anything. Or I can think… I try to pay it forward. Try to put all of the love that people show me into my work and I hope it comes through", she said.
Amber said her dreams for 2015 are that the car runs, her husband finds work and their finances stabilize. She said she would like to become Certified Nursing Assistant, but her daughters come first. And she said she won't give up her job. It's near her home and she really likes her co-workers and the residents. Her other hope for the new year is that people who are able will help out. "If you do see somebody asking for assistance or you do know somebody who needs help with heat, or Christmas, or something, I can tell you that even if it's a small $5 gift or a kind work, offer that to them, because they might be smiling, but it's not very easy to live in poverty.
Surviving in a Michigan winter when the heat goes off
CMU Public Radio is partnering with Consumers Energy, Michigan Community Action and listeners to support heating assistance in central and Norther Michigan. It's one thing to understand there's a problem, it's quite another to experience it.

The loft is on the third floor in the courtyard - so it is quiet and away from the noise and smells of the premises and of the people.
In the same way there are some famous restaurants, very good, very well-known and not too expensive.
The tram passes a few meters from the house and in a few minutes on foot you can reach the metro porta Genova, with which he quickly crosses the entire city.
The building is obviously vintage-style Milan and, in addition, has been restored so philologically correct, respecting the old style.

Das Apartment liegt super gelegen.Eie Metrostation ist in 3 Minuten zu erreichen,eine Tramstation in 1 Minute.
Das charmante Apartment liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstrasse und ist wirklich super.Ein Fahrstuhl bringt einen bis in die dritte Etage,und über ein paar Stufen gelangt man ins Penthouse.Das Apartment ist voll ausgestattet mit 4 Schlafplätzen,Wohnküche etc.Bezaubernd sind die beiden Balkone über den Dächern von Mailand.
Die Dusche ist mit 80x80 cm recht klein.
Die Wohnung ist klasse. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!!
Sehr sehr schöne Wohnung und sehr nette Gastgeberin! Gerne wieder :)
We stayed 3 nights last week. Very good location because it's a ground floor apartment in a kind of tenement building with with an inner courtyard and tens of other apartments so you really feel part of the daily life in the city. There are 2 very good restaurants next door, one with outdoor seating, and a few cafes for morning breakfast. The duomo is a 15' walk but with a bicycle you are in the city center in no time. There is a nice little garden and a fresh bakery next door. Anna the owner is very kind and helpful. Highly recommended.
Anna herself was very friendly and helpful! But she was not not staying at the playce we booked.
Unfortunately, we were not very happy with the accommodation. Her brother (?) who is living in the apartment does not speak a single word in English (just Italian) and thus the communication was very hard. The furniture and the facilities in the apartment were very old and used. It smelled strange and was not very clean. Besides, you have no possibility to lock your room or the bathroom.
The location of the apartment is OK, the next public transportation options are quite near and you'll reach the center quite fast. Free parking options are nearby.
So, if you don't have any demands on the apartment itself, you'll have a nice stay there.
Anna was a lovely host, very welcoming and hospitable. The apartment is spacious, well maintained ad comfortable with supermarkets, metro and buses to the centre very close.
Lovely balconies with traditional Milanese views.
Highly recommended. Thank you Anna
Anna was a perfect hostess and I enjoyed my stay in her beautiful apartment very much. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a great place to stay in Milan
Very nice stay in Milano. Ms Anna picked me and my frend from the main station and introduced an apartment to us. She had also brought a cake and a nice spakling wine - so our late arrival did not matter even closed shops. She was very kind and helpfull.
Me and my boyfriend rented this cozy flat from Anna, who was a kind and helpful host and gave us a warm, easygoing stay. The size of the apartment is perfect for two, and we really liked the kitchen corner, which offered also same basic things, really convinient if you want to cook for yourself and save some money (carrefour is just next door!). otherwise the neighborhood is full of restaurans and bars. The apartment is well located, in ten min you can reach the center catching the trams 12 or 27. I do suggest it!
VERY VERY nice apartment with 2 beautiful terraces.
There is no hanging space and the shower is very small.
One thing thought, and maybe it's just me, does anyone really eat the left overs of cheese, fruits and veg ? Does anyone really drink from an open bottle of water or orange juice found in the fridge? I think the fridge should be properly clean after departure of the guest.
Nevertheless Anna is a very friendly host, i'd recomend the place and i'd still book it myself should i found it available on my next trip.

Skip to comments.Are you ready for your perp walk?
Posted on 09/19/2012 8:22:09 PM PDT by ru4liberty
Are you ready for your perp walk?
Think about it. If the rabid Islamists read your posts here on FR re Mohammed or Allah and felt provoked to riot and murder as a result of reading them, are you ready for:
1. The appeaser-in-chiefs administration to diss you in speeches and press conferences?
2. The authorities to come to your door in the wee hours of the morning to march you to the local jail to answer questions about your post?
3. Cameras to be present to record your perp walk?
4. Your address and personal information to be exposed to the entire world?
What happened to that filmmaker could happen to any of us who dare to post our thoughts on the World-Wide Web. How long before they come for one (or two, or three or more) of us?
Thats where we are, FRiends. Scary, huh?
Sure. Let's us dance!
Still not voting any liberal.
>> Scary, huh?
Not really, I had a talk with my friend Mossberg; we are of the opinion that we could ride it out, if required.
I find it really odd that the Muzzie Bros. have never laid a finger on Bill "Religulous" Maher. I wonder why he gets a free pass? Maybe he's a closet Muzzie?
Sounds like a job for the pork claymore.
I'm 29 years in a state prison system, close to retiring.
My kids are raised, and weanable though I still provide a safety net.
I know how to be a good, or a bad inmate, and where the hair-breadth line is from conflict.
I'm ready..- While I'd prefer to die of old age whittling on the porch I suspect that is not what will happen.
Big difference here though, Americans are ARMED to the teeth with guns.
Arrest me.
This is why November 6th is so very important.
My friend Mossberg expressed some concerns so we've called in a consulting team from Mosin, Nagant, Makarov and Walther, LLC.
I've bought allot of ammo over the past 3 years. But there is never enough. I'm ready for what comes. But I'd much prefer to leave a peaceful republic for my child & grandchildren to enjoy and prosper in.
Will have enough sunglasses to wear.
May as well be ready, for come they will.
Actually, the US government still owns British and Spanish cannons that were seized during hostilities. ;)
We have an example to follow.
Smart move. I hear those Russian consultants are ruthless, but effective.
This example you made up is a bit silly. I don't know about you but SOL is not my real name :)
They were able to harass that film-maker like that because he was on parole and even then they didn't have the guts to keep him.
I can see it now: "Sick of Libs ?? Are you asking me if I am Sick of Libs? Yes, I am sick of libs. Are you a lib?" HA, funny thought
I recommend that team from Mosin and Nagant. I also recommend the consulting teams from Simonov, Carcano and Arisaka.
My buddy Mossberg similarly expressed some doubts about extended engagements. But my friends Glock, and S&W said their multiple magazines would cover... Of course Ka-Bar is always chiming in that he has no such performance anxiety...
Pirates of the Linux
My take is that if this goes down in a bad way, liberals will just take us out and shoot us. They hate traditional Americans that much... But just to be on the safe side, what is the 'hair-breadth line'....
That's a pretty easy sentence to write, but the actual implementation may get a little hairy.
I certainly don't intend to dig my own grave, and stand there while someone shoots me in the back of the head...
The 20th century showed us what THAT was like. They wanna kill me, THEY can dig my grave. And not expect for me to stand still for the coup de poing.
Slight alteration. :-)

What you mean, "us"...??? :-)
"liberals will just take us out and shoot us."
They don't have any guns. We do.

My friends Marlin, Glock and Bushmaster feel the same way.
Well, Cuz, let 'em bring it on!!!!!! They can kill me if they want to because I know where I'll be if they do—with my precious Jesus!! I'm not afraid of no stinkin' islam, et al.
I'm already planning methods of sabotaging the machinery at the slave-labor camp-way ahead of y'all;)

Have you seen the statistics on the number of bullets bought by Homeland Security? There was a new buy a few days ago... And NASA? Even the Social Security Office. There were excuses put out the first time... lame excuses, but ones the MSM bought. This newest HS acquisition doesn't lend itself to easy... .. so the press is not even asking for excuses.

AMD Previews New Flagship GPU with HBM and 3x Perf/Watt Improvements
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 6, 2015 - 02:21 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, hbm, radeon, gpu
During today's 2015 AMD Financial Analyst Day, CEO Dr. Lisa Su discussed some of the details of the upcoming enthusiast Radeon graphics product. Though it wasn't given a name, she repeatedly said that the product would be announced "in the coming weeks...at upcoming industry events."
You won't find specifications here but understanding the goals and targets that AMD has for this new flagship product will help tell the story of this new Radeon product. Dr. Su sees AMD investing at very specific inflection points, the most recent of which are DirectX 12, 4K displays and VR technology. With adoption of HBM (high bandwidth memory) that sits on-die with the GPU, rather than across a physical PCB, we will see both a reduction in power consumption as well as a significant increase in GPU memory bandwidth.
HBM will accelerate the performance improvements at those key inflection points Dr. Su mentioned. Additional memory bandwidth will aid the ability for discrete GPUs to push out 4K resolutions and beyond, no longer limited by texture sizes. AMD's LiquidVR software, in conjunction with HBM, will be able to improve latency and reduce performance concerns on current and future generations of virtual reality hardware.
One interesting comment made during the conference was that HBM would enable new form factors for the GPUs now that you now longer need to have memory spread out on a PCB. While there isn't much room in the add-in card market for differentiation, in the mobile space that could mean some very interesting things for higher performance gaming notebooks.
Mark Papermaster, AMD CTO, said earlier in the conference call that HBM would aid in performance but maybe more importantly will lower power and improve total GPU efficiency. HBM will offer more than 3x improved performance/watt compared to GDDR5 while also running more than 50% lower power than GDDR5. Lower power and higher performance upgrades don't happen often so I am really excited to see what AMD does with it.
There weren't any more details on the next flagship Radeon GPU but it doesn't look like we'll have to wait much longer.
New GeForce Bundle: Witcher 3 and Batman: Arkham Knight
Subject: Graphics Cards | May 5, 2015 - 12:46 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: The Witcher 3, nvidia, GTX 980, GTX 970, gtx, geforce, batman arkham knight
NVIDIA has announced a new game bundle for GeForce graphics cards starting now, and it's a doozy: Purchase a qualifying GTX card and receive download codes for both Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Batman: Arkham Knight!
Needless to say, both of these titles have been highly anticipated, and neither have been released just yet with Witcher 3: Wild Hunt due to be released on May 19, and Batman: Arkham Knight arriving on June 23. So which cards qualify? Amazon has a page specifically created for this new offer here, and depending on which card you select you'll be eligible for either both upcoming games, or just Witcher 3. NVIDIA has this chart on their promotion page for reference:
So GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 cards will qualify for both games, and GTX 960 cards and the mobile GPUs qualify for Witcher 3 alone. Regardless of which game or card you may choose these PC versions of the new games will feature graphics that can't be matched by consoles, and NVIDIA points out the advantages in their post:
"Both Batman and The Witcher raise the bar for graphical fidelity, rendering two very different open worlds with a level of detail we could only dream of last decade. And on PC, each is bolstered by NVIDIA GameWorks effects that increase fidelity, realism, and immersion. But to use those effects in conjunction with the many other available options, whilst retaining a high frame rate, it's entirely possible that you'll need an upgrade."
NVIDIA also posted this Witcher 3: Wild Hunt behind-the-scenes video:
In addition to the GameWorks effects present in Witcher 3, NVIDIA worked with developer Rocksteady on Batman: Arkham Knight "to create new visual effects exclusively for the game's PC release." The post elaborates:
"This is in addition to integrating the latest and greatest versions of our GPU-accelerated PhysX Destruction, PhysX Clothing and PhysX Turbulence technologies, which work in tandem to create immersive effects that react realistically to external forces. In previous Batman: Arkham games, these technologies created immersive fog and ice effects, realistic destructible scenery, and game-enhancing cloth effects that added to the atmosphere and spectacle. Expect to see similar effects in Arkham Knight, along with new features and effects that we'll be talking about in depth as we approach Arkham Knight's June 23rd release."
Of note, mobile GPUs included in the promotion will only receive download codes if the seller of the notebook is participating in the "Two Times The Adventure" offer, so be sure to check that out when looking for a gaming laptop that qualifies!
The promotion is going on now and is available "for a limited time or while supplies last".
Rumor: Could AMD and PC Gamer Event at E3 Finally Bring New GPU Announcements?
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 30, 2015 - 08:28 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: PC Gamer, gpu, Fiji, E3 2015, amd
We haven't had much more than rumor and speculation about upcoming AMD graphics for a while now, but there is more than enough fresh fuel for the GPU fire today to ignore completely. It seems that AMD and PC Gamer magazine have teamed up to announce a special (what else) PC gaming event at this year's E3 show on June 16, and this would be the perfect place for some new hardware announcements.
Not enough for you? Well, while the AMD Fiji GPU rumors are nothing new to followers of industry news, it has now been indirectly announced that the upcoming Fiji GPU from AMD will in fact feature 2.5D high-bandwidth memory (HBM). As reported by tech news/rumor site wccftech the announcement came via the official schedule for the upcoming Hot Chips symposium, which is slated for August 23-25 in Cupertino, California.
This screenshot was taken this morning from the official online event schedule
(Note: This part of the day 2 schedule has now been changed to read "AMD's Next Generation GPU and Memory Architecture", with all mention of Fiji and HBM removed.)
Whether this gives us insight into the actual release date of the long-awaited Fiji GPU from AMD is unclear, but new AMD GPU products certainly seem to be imminent as we move into the summer months. Speculation is fun (for a while), but hopefully the PC gaming event at E3 in June will provide at least some official news from AMD on the new GPU products we've been waiting for.
Got Windows 10? Get GeForce 352.63 beta

Tagged: GeForce 352.63, beta, windows 10
The new Win 10 NVIDIA GeForce driver is here, in two different flavours depending on your form factor. If you spend the money for a gaming laptop with a GeForce 600M through 900M then this is the driver for you. On the other hand if you have a traditional desktop and a GPU or two then head to this page.
If you have a Sony laptop you should double check your GPU is covered and unfortunately at this point Hybrid Power technology is not supported. NVIDIA did not provide much additional information on the desktop side; it is a beta and so is the OS so make sure to record the full information about your bugs and crashes when reporting them, not just a frowny face followed by expletives.
GTA V: The GPU review

Some sort of game involving driving stolen prostitutes into cars in an open sore world has arrived and the questions about what it takes to make the game look good are popping up like pills. [H]ard|OCP seems to have heard of the game and tested out its performance on the top performing video cards from AMD and NVIDIA in both single and doubles. You will get more out of a double but unfortunately only around a 50% improvement so obviously that second shot is watered down a bit. In the end the GTX TITAN X was the best choice for those who want to crank everything up, with the 980 tasting slightly better than the 290X for those that actually have to ask the price. Check the full review here.
"Grand Theft Auto V has finally been released on the PC. In this preview we will look at some video card comparisons in performance, maximize graphics settings at 1440p and 4K. We will briefly test AMD CHS Shadow and NVIDIA PCSS shadow and talk about them. We will even see if SLI and CrossFire work."

Red Hat Joins Khronos Group
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | April 20, 2015 - 07:30 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Red Hat, Khronos
With a brief blog post, Red Hat has announced that they are now members of the Khronos Group. Red Hat, one of the largest vendors of Linux software and services, would like to influence the direction of OpenGL and the upcoming Vulkan API. Also, apart from Valve, they are one of the only Linux vendors that contributes to the Khronos Group as an organization. I hope that their input counter-balances Apple, Google, and Microsoft, who are each members, in areas that are beneficial to the open-source operating system.
As for now, Red Hat intends to use their membership to propose OpenGL extensions as well as influence Vulkan as previously mentioned. It also seems reasonable that they would push for extensions to Vulkan, which the Khronos Group mentioned would support extensions at GDC, especially if something that they need fails to reach "core" status. While this feels late, I am glad that they at least joined now.
Moore's Law Is Fifty Years Old!
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors | April 19, 2015 - 02:08 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: moores law, Intel
While he was the director of research and development at Fairchild Semiconductor, Gordon E. Moore predicted that the number of components in an integrated circuits would double every year. Later, this time-step would slow to every two years; you can occasionally hear people talk about eighteen months too, but I am not sure who derived that number. In a few years, he would go on to found Intel with Robert Noyce, where they spend tens of billions of dollars annually to keep up with the prophecy.
It works out for the most part, but we have been running into physical issues over the last few years though. One major issue is that, with our process technology dipping into the single- and low double-digit nanometers, we are running out of physical atoms to manipulate. The distance between silicon atoms in a solid at room temperature is about 0.5nm; a 14nm product has features containing about 28 atoms, give or take a few in rounding error.
Josh has a good editorial that discusses this implication with a focus on GPUs.
It has been a good fifty years since the start of Moore's Law. Humanity has been developing plans for how to cope with the eventual end of silicon lithography process shrinks. We will probably transition to smaller atoms and molecules and later consider alternative technologies like photonic crystals, which routes light in the hundreds of terahertz through a series of waveguides that make up an integrated circuit. Another interesting thought: will these technologies fall in line with Moore's Law in some way?
NVIDIA Released 350.12 WHQL and AMD Released 15.4 Beta for Grand Theft Auto V

Tagged: nvidia, amd, GTA5
Grand Theft Auto V launched today at around midnight GMT worldwide. This corresponded to 7PM EDT for those of us in North America. Well, add a little time for Steam to unlock the title and a bit longer for Rockstar to get enough servers online. One thing you did not need to wait for was new video card drivers. Both AMD and NVIDIA have day-one drivers that provide support.
You can get the NVIDIA drivers at their landing page
You can get the AMD drivers at their release notes
Personally, I ran the game for about a half hour on Windows 10 (Build 10049) with a GeForce GTX 670. Since these drivers are not for the pre-release operating system, I tried running it on 349.90 to see how it performed before upgrading. Surprisingly, it seems to be okay (apart from a tree that was flickering in and out of existence during a cut-scene). I would definitely update my drivers if they were available and supported, but I'm glad that it seems to be playable even on Windows 10.
90-some percent of the performance for 70 percent of the price; PowerColor's PCS+ R9 290X
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 6, 2015 - 04:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: factory overclocked, powercolor pcs+, R9 290X
The lowest priced GTX 980 on Amazon is currently $530 while the PowerColor PCS+ R9 290X is $380, about 72% of the price of the GTX 980. The performance that [H]ard|OCP saw after overclocking the 290X was much closer, in some games even matching it but usually about 5-10% slower than the GTX 980, making it quite obvious which card is the better value. The GTX 970 is a different story, you can find a card for $310 and the performance is only slightly behind the 290X although the 290X takes a larger lead at higher resolutions. Read through the review carefully as the performance delta and overall smoothness varies from game to game but unless you like paying to brag about your handful of extra frames the 970 and 290X are the cards offering you the best bang for your buck.
"Today we examine what value the PowerColor PCS+ R9 290X holds compared to overclocked GeForce GTX 970. AMD's Radeon R9 290X pricing has dropped considerably since launch and constitutes a great value and competition for the GeForce GTX 970. At $350 this may be an excellent value compared to the competition."

Saved so much using Linux you can afford a Titan X?

Tagged: gtx titan x, linux, nvidia
Perhaps somewhere out there is a Linux user who wants a TITAN X and if there is they will like the results of Phoronix's testing. The card works perfectly straight out of the box with the latest 346.47 driver as well as the 349.12 Beta; if you want to use Nouveau then don't buy this card. The TITAN did not win any awards for power efficiency but for OpenCL tests, synthetic OpenGL benchmarks and Unigine on Linux it walked away a clear winner. Phoronix, and many others, hope that AMD is working on an updated Linux driver to accompany the new 300 series of cards we will see soon to help them be more competitive on open source systems.
If you are sick of TITAN X reviews by now, just skip to their 22 GPU performance roundup of Metro Redux.
"Last week NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce GTX TITAN X during their annual GPU Tech Conference. Of course, all of the major reviews at launch were under Windows and thus largely focused on the Direct3D performance. Now that our review sample arrived this week, I've spent the past few days hitting the TITAN X hard under Linux with various OpenGL and OpenCL workloads compared to other NVIDIA and AMD hardware on the binary Linux drivers."

NVIDIA Quadro M6000 Announced
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 23, 2015 - 07:30 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: quadro, nvidia, m6000, gm200
Alongside the Titan X, NVIDIA has announced the Quadro M6000. In terms of hardware, they are basically the same component: 12 GB of GDDR5 on a 384-bit memory bus, 3072 CUDA cores, and a reduction in double precision performance to 1/32nd of its single precision. The memory, but not the cache, is capable of ECC (error-correction) for enterprises who do not want a stray photon to mess up their computation. That might be the only hardware difference between it and the Titan X.
Compared to other Quadro cards, it loses some double precision performance as mentioned earlier, but it will be an upgrade in single precision (FP32). The add-in board connects to the power supply with just a single eight-pin plug. Technically, with its 250W TDP, it is slightly over the rating for one eight-pin PCIe connector, but NVIDIA told Anandtech that they're confident that it won't matter for the card's intended systems.
That is probably true, but I wouldn't put it past someone to do something spiteful given recent events.
The lack of double precision performance (IEEE 754 FP64) could be disappointing for some. While NVIDIA would definitely know their own market better than I do, I was under the impression that a common workstation system for GPU compute was a Quadro driving a few Teslas (such as two of these). It would seem weird for a company to have such a high-end GPU be paired with Teslas that have such a significant difference in FP64 compute. I wonder what this means for the Tesla line, and whether we will see a variant of Maxwell with a large boost in 64-bit performance, or if that line will be in an awkward place until Pascal.
Or maybe not? Maybe NVIDIA is planning to launch products based on an unannounced, FP64-focused architecture? The aim could be to let the Quadro deal with the heavy FP32 calculations, while the customer could opt to load co-processors according to their double precision needs? It's an interesting thought as I sit here at my computer musing to myself, but then I immediately wonder why did they not announce it at GTC if that is the case? If that is the case, and honestly I doubt it because I'm just typing unfiltered thoughts here, you would think they would kind-of need to be sold together. Or maybe not. I don't know.
Pricing and availability is not currently known, except that it is "soon".
A TITANic roundup of GPUs

Tagged: titan x, nvidia, gtx titan x, gm200, geforce, 4k
You have read Ryan's review of the $999 behemoth from NVIDIA and now you can take the opportunity to see what other reviewers think of the card. [H]ard|OCP tested it against the GTX 980 which shares the same cooler and is every bit as long as the TITAN X. Along the way they found a use for the 12GB of VRAM as both Watch_Dogs and Far Cry 4 used over 7GB of memory when tested at 4k resolution though the frame rates were not really playable, you will need at least two TITAN X's to pull that off. They will be revisiting this card in the future, providing more tests for a card with incredible performance and an even more incredible price.
"The TITAN X video card has 12GB of VRAM, not 11.5GB, 50% more streaming units, 50% more texture units, and 50% more CUDA cores than the current GTX 980 flagship NVIDIA GPU. While this is not our full TITAN X review, this preview focuses on what the TITAN X delivers when directly compared to the GTX 980."

NVIDIA Announces DIGITS DevBox - 28 TFLOPS, 1300 Watts, $15k
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Shows and Expos | March 17, 2015 - 03:44 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: nvidia, DIGITS
At GTC, NVIDIA announced a new device called the DIGITS DevBox:
The DIGITS DevBox is a device that data scientists can purchase and install locally. Plugged into a single electrical outlet, this modified Corsair Air 540 case equipped with quad TITAN X (reviewed here) GPUs can crank out 28 TeraFLOPS of compute power. The installed CPU is a Haswell-E 5930K, and the system is rated to draw 1300W of power. NVIDIA is building these in-house as the expected volume is low, with these units likely going to universities and small compute research firms.
Why would you want such compute power?
DIGITS is a software package available from NVIDIA. Its purpose is to act as a tool for data scientists to manipulate deep learning environments (neural networks). This package, running on a DIGITS DevBox, will give much more compute power capability to scientists who need it for their work. Getting this tech in the hands of more scientists will accelerate this technology and lead to what NVIDIA hopes will be a 'Big Bang' in this emerging GPU-compute-heavy field.
More from GTC is coming soon, as well as an exclusive PC Perspective Live Stream set to start in just a few minutes! Did I mention we will be giving away a Titan X???
Ryan interviewed the lead developer of DIGITS in the video below. This offers a great explanation (and example) of what this deep learning stuff is all about:
GTC 2015: NVIDIA Roadmap Shows Pascal with 3D Memory, NVLink and Mixed Precision Compute
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 17, 2015 - 01:47 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: pascal, nvidia, gtc 2015, GTC, geforce
At the keynote of the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) today, NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang disclosed some more updates on the roadmap for future GPU technologies.
Most of the detail was around Pascal, due in 2016, that will introduce three new features including mixed compute precision, 3D (stacked) memory, and NVLink. Mixed precision is a method of computing in FP16, allowing calculations to run much faster at lower accuracy than full single or double precision when they are not necessary. Keeping in mind that Maxwell doesn't have an implementation with full speed DP compute (today), it would seem that NVIDIA is targeting different compute tasks moving forward. Though details are short, mixed precision would likely indicate processing cores than can handle both data types.
3D memory is the ability to put memory on-die with the GPU directly to improve overall memory banwidth. The visual diagram that NVIDIA showed on stage indicated that Pascal would have 750 GB/s of bandwidth, compared to 300-350 GB/s on Maxwell today.
NVLink is a new way of connecting GPUs, improving on bandwidth by more than 5x over current implementations of PCI Express. They claim this will allow for connecting as many as 8 GPUs for deep learning performance improvements (up to 10x). What that means for gaming has yet to be discussed.
NVIDIA made some other interesting claims as well. Pascal will be more than 2x more performance per watt efficient than Maxwell, even without the three new features listed above. It will also ship (in a compute targeted product) with a 32GB memory system compared to the 12GB of memory announced on the Titan X today. Pascal will also have 4x the performance in mixed precision compute.

NVIDIA Quadro M6000 Leaks via Deadmau5
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 14, 2015 - 02:12 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, quadro, m6000, deadmau5, gtc 2015
Sometimes information comes from the least likely of sources. Deadmau5, one of the world's biggest names in house music, posted an interesting picture to his Instagram feed a couple of days ago.
Well, that's interesting. A quick hunt on Google for the NVIDIA M6000 reveals rumors of it being a GM200-based 12GB graphics card. Sound familiar? NVIDIA recently announced the GeForce GTX TITAN X based on an identical configuration at GDC last week.
A backup of the Instagram image...in case it gets removed.
With NVIDIA's GPU Technology Conference coming up starting this Tuesday, it would appear we have more than one version of GM200 incoming.
NVIDIA Releases GeForce GTX 960M and GTX 950M Mobile Graphics
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 12, 2015 - 11:13 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: nvidia, maxwell, GTX 960M, GTX 950M, gtx 860m, gtx 850m, gm107, geforce
NVIDIA has announced new GPUs to round out their 900-series mobile lineup, and the new GTX 960M and GTX 950M are based on the same GM107 core as the previous 860M/850M parts.
Both GPUs feature 640 CUDA Cores and are separated by Base clock speed, with the GTX 960M operating at 1096 MHz and GTX 950M at 914 MHz. Both have unlisted maximum Boost frequencies that will likely vary based on thermal constraints. The memory interface is the other differentiator between the GPUs, with the GTX 960M sporting dedicated GDDR5 memory, and the GTX 950M can be implemented with either DDR3 or GDDR5 memory. Both GTX 960M and 950M use the same 128-bit memory interface and support up to 4GB of memory.
As reported by multiple sources the core powering the 960M/950M is a GM107 Maxwell GPU, which means that we are essentially talking about rebadged 860M/850M products, though the unlisted Boost frequencies could potentially be higher with these parts with improved silicon on a mature 28nm process. In contrast the previously announced GTX 965M is based on a cut down Maxwell GM204 GPU, with its 1024 CUDA Cores representing half of the GPU core introduced with the GTX 980.
New notebooks featuring the GTX 960M have already been announced by NVIDIA's partners, so we will soon see if there is any performance improvement to these refreshed GM107 parts.
MSI Announces 4GB Version of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 Gaming Graphics Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 10, 2015 - 07:35 PM | Sebastian Peak
Tagged: nvidia, msi, gtx 960, geforce, 960 Gaming, 4GB GTX 960
Manufacturers announcing 4GB versions of the GeForce GTX 960 has become a regular occurrence of late, and today MSI has announced their own 4GB GTX 960, adding a model with this higher memory capacity to their popular MSI Gaming graphics card lineup.
The GTX 960 Gaming 4GB features an overclocked core in addition to the doubled frame buffer, with 1241MHz Base, 1304MHz Boost clocks (compared to the stock GTX 960 1127MHz Base, 1178MHz Boost clocks). The card also features their proprietary Twin Frozr V (5 for non-Romans) cooler, which they claim surpasses previous generations of their Twin Frozr coolers "by a large margin", with a new design featuring their SuperSU heat pipes and a pair of 100mm Torx fans with alternating standard/dispersion fan blades.
The card is set to be shown at the Intel Extreme Masters gaming event in Poland later this week, and pricing/availability have not been announced.

It's a bit slick to handle, but it works wonderfully well. I couldn't be happier. When covering my Outback Wagon, it looks like a giant baking potato in the driveway. I will be ordering another cover soon for my other Subaru vehicle.

BERLIN — Germany's eco-fashion pioneer, Hess Natur, is actively taking its message — and its product — from the printed page to the retail floor.
Founded in 1976, the Butzbach, Germany-based catalogue house is the market leader in eco-friendly apparel in German-speaking Europe. Among its milestones, Hess Natur initiated the world's first controlled organic cotton project in the early Nineties at a farm in Egypt. In 2003 and 2004, in cooperation with the Fair Wear Foundation, Hess Natur also successfully piloted a project controlling social standards through its entire supply chain.
Although Hess Natur got its start around the same time as the German Green Party and its standards are undeniably strict, it's not just hard-core eco-enthusiasts who generate its annual sales of about 70 million euros, or $99.65 million at current exchange.
"Today, it's normal consumers who have possibly parked their [Mercedes] SLK in front of the door that buy our products," said Wolf Lüdge, director of Hess Natur. "Environmentally and socially just manufacturing is a 'must' as before, but no longer the only purchase-influencing criteria. Quality, color and shape also play a considerable role."
The same goes for the shopping experience. One year ago, Hess Natur opened its hometown flagship: an oval-shaped, 10,000-square-foot eco-friendly building surrounded by nature. Another eco-conscious outpost opened in central Hamburg this October, and a store in Munich is slated for 2008.
"There is a potentially large consumer audience for environmentally and ethically sound fashion, and stores are an important way of presenting and communicating our message," said Lüdge.
Hess Natur foresees opening approximately 10 stores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland within the next three to four years. While he wouldn't be specific, Lüdge said retail could make up a considerable portion of the company's future sales. The company's baby catalogue has recently gone online in Britain — Hess Natur's first foray into a non-German market and a test for further international endeavors.

text: This is one of the few plug-ins that should cost but doesn't. Easy to use, simple to set up, great looking themes. Seriously, what more do you need. I can't say I'd use the extras that you get from the Premium upgrade but I'll pay for it just to say thank you and hopefully allow the developers to keep it free for basic AND hopefully develop other plug-ins that are of the same standard. Good job.

This is probably the lightest 4-bike tray-style rack. Easy to mount and remove by myself. Loading all 4 bikes is quick and easy. Tire clamps are all ideally located, so no need for any wheel straps. It is extremely stable on the road at any speed and conditions. Once folded up, it is very compact behind my tailgate. Cannot even see it in my rear view mirror.

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Coupe SS 2dr Coupe (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Just bought this used. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and nothing has gone wrong yet just noticed that the passenger window rolls up slower than the driver side. No biggy just hope the window motor doesn't go bad. Good sized 4 cyl got some get up and go. Like the sounds system, it's good for being stock. The only thing I want to do to this car is put in a turbo kit and she will fly.
acceleration. nice red color, sound system, body style and stance, 18" rims
steering, doesn't handle as well as the 07 jetta i had (before i totaled the jetta) should be hyd assisted instead of electric
Bought this car a couple years ago and I absolutely love it im 21 and to date ive had 23 cars, I've always loved them for 2 weeks then hated them not the case with this car I've had it for almost 2 years and love every time I get into it, looks sweet, I get 34.5 mpg on the highway, 27 avg, not bad for being supercharged, I love the interior and the radio is the best of anything ive owned and I put 2700 in my ss camaro so thats sayin quite a bit, I dont know what all you foreign car love are thinking Chevy makes great cars, not a dime spent on anything but oil with this car I would recommend it to anyone, and I kept my money in this country:), unlike you Toyota and Honda lovers. A+++++++ chevy
radio, great suspension and engine, looks like a racecar for the street
wish it was a turbo, thats the only thing ill trade this car for which hey guess what thats what the new ones are, so once i save up a few dimes thats what ill have
dont buy!!! this car is junk my brakes never stop squeaking dealers cant explain. no room in car for anything seats stain with rain water windows dont roll down all the time airbag light on for no reason...drivers side door handle fell off...my dome light hangs down now cant get it back in!!! total garbage...my 2004 malibu rocked compared to this car
Really, you can't go wrong with a car that's got great MPG, is sporty, fun to drive, and good to look at. My husband laughs because it's purple, but off the line and down the road, my Purple SS beat his 2500HD and left it in the dust.
Of course it's got all the bells and whistles. Heated leather, sunroof, 7 spkr Pioneer stereo system and obviously a 5 sp. Who wants a clunky automatic when you can have a stick?!
The only complaint I've seen in reviews and heard myself is about the lack of space in the backseat. I just tell them it's to make room in the trunk, (which is huge), so that my subs can get the bump going!
I love my cobalt ss. This is the most fun car I have ever owned. It's fun to drive. It's just a nice sporty car. I have never had a problem with it. I'm the second owner. This car is the best car. I give it a ten plus.
I love everything about my car. I have no complaint on my little car
I'm happy with the way it is
