Sample Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 64-bit Projects Illustrating How to Call the NAG C Library Mark 9
The information here is applicable to the DLLs supplied with CLW6I09DAL.
This folder contains a number of subfolders, each containing a Microsoft Visual Basic .NET project showing how to call a 64-bit NAG C Library function. These projects have been built and tested under Visual Studio 2005 and also tested with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010. They should run without modification under Visual Studio 2005. To run these projects under Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2010, use the Visual Studio conversion wizard to convert the project. This will update the .sln and .vbproj files; the VB code itself should remain the same. There are separate examples showing how to call the Library from 64-bit Excel 2010 using Visual Basic for Applications 7.0 (VBA7).

A support file for 64-bit Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET), called clvbdnet64.vb, may be found under the VB.NET 64-bit headers page. This file can be used in 64-bit VB.NET code. Separate VBA7 headers are available for use with 64-bit Excel Visual Basic for Applications.
The file clvbdnet64.vb contains the VB declaration of each user-callable NAG C Library function and all Enum and Structure (Type) declarations necessary for the parameters (mandatory and optional). This file can be imported into your VB project.
The header file is based on the stand-alone version of the NAG C Library DLL (CLW6I09DA_nag.dll); to specify the version of the DLL which uses the MKL BLAS/LAPACK instead (CLW6I09DA_mkl.dll), replace CLW6I09DA_nag.dll by CLW6I09DA_mkl.dll in the Function and Sub declarations.
Note that unlike VB6, VB.NET does not support "Option Base 1", so all arrays start at 0.
Remember also that to be able to use the NAG C Library DLL, its location will need to appear somewhere in your current path. If the DLL is in C:\Program Files\NAG\CL09\clw6i09dal\bin (for example), then your PATH environment variable must contain this folder before starting Visual Basic. If you are using the MKL-based version of the NAG C Library (CLW6I09DA_mkl.dll), then the folder containing the MKL DLLs should also be on your path, but should appear later in the path than the bin folder for the NAG C Library DLLs, e.g.
C:\Program Files\NAG\CL09\clw6i09dal\bin;C:\Program Files\NAG\CL09\ clw6i09dal\MKL_x64_10.2\bin;<rest of path>
In the NAG C Library function declarations, arrays are declared only with their type. In .NET all arrays are reference types, so an array variable contains a reference to the array and not the array itself. Therefore, a VB array variable can be simply passed by value to a NAG C Library function and VB.NET will pass the address of the array to the C code.
Declare Sub e04ccc Lib "CLW6I09DA_nag.dll" ( _ ..., <[In](),Out()> ByVal x As Double(), ... ... Dim x(n - 1) As Double ... Call e04ccc(..., x, ...)
All arrays in the NAG C Library are declared as one-dimensional arrays. For consistency, the VB declarations of the NAG C Library functions also contain only one-dimensional arrays. It is, however, possible to use multidimensional arrays. In order to do this, the appropriate declaration needs to be changed.
'Changed from ' <[In](), Out()> ByVal B As Complex(), _ 'to ' <[In](), Out()> ByVal B As Complex(,), _ Declare Sub f04cfc Lib "CLW6I09DA_nag.dll" ( _ ... <[In](), Out()> ByVal B As Complex(,), _ ... )
Please see the f04cfc example in the Misc Functions project for an example of using a two-dimensional array.
Call-back Functions
In the VB.NET declarations of NAG C Library functions and subroutines, call-back function dummy arguments are declared as delegates.
Delegate Function d01sjc_F_DELEGATE( _ ByVal x As Double, _ ByRef comm As Nag_User _ ) As Double Declare Sub d01sjc Lib "CLW6I09DA_nag.dll" ( _ ByVal f As d01sjc_F_DELEGATE, _ ...
The pointer to the actual function is passed using the VB AddressOf operator.
Call d01sjc(AddressOf fun1,...
In some cases, we might want to pass a null function pointer instead of a pointer to a call-back function. This can be done using Nothing.
' We are passing null pointer instead of providing pederv Call d02ejc(neq, AddressOf fcn, Nothing,...
Please see the d01sjc, d02ejc and e04nfc projects for examples of call-back functions.
Array Arguments to Call-back Functions
When array arguments are passed to a call-back function, VB.NET passes their address. Hence we have access to a pointer to the array. In the case of input array arguments, the appropriate amount of storage has to be copied to a VB array before it can be used. At the end of the function, output arrays must be copied back to the pointer.
In the examples, the Copy method of the Marshal class is used to do this copying. This method is overloaded to cater for different source and destination types, e.g.
Public Shared Sub Copy (source As IntPtr, destination As Double(), _ startIndex As Integer, length As Integer) Public Shared Sub Copy (source As Double(), startIndex As Integer, _ destination As IntPtr, length As Integer)
We need to import System.Runtime.InteropServices for this method.
Here is an example of how to use Marshal.Copy in a user-supplied function called funct.
Sub funct(ByVal n As Integer, ByVal ptr_x As IntPtr, _ ByRef obj As Double, ByRef comm As Nag_Comm) Dim x(n - 1) As Double 'Copy elements pointed to by ptr_x into local array x. Call Marshal.Copy(ptr_x, x, 0, n) ' The array x can now be used. ... ' If x is updated, copy it back to the pointer ptr_x Call Marshal.Copy(x, 0, ptr_x, n)
Examples of how to handle arrays in call-back functions can be found in d02ejc, e04nfc and in the e04ccce code within the Misc Functions example.
C Library Typedefs and VB.NET Structures
Assigning pointers in VB.NET Structures
Pointers in the VB.NET structures defined for the NAG C Library are declared as IntPtr. In order to assign, for example, a VB Double array to such a pointer, code such as the following may be used.
<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> Structure Nag_Spline ... Dim lamda As IntPtr ' Pointer to Double ... End Structure ... Dim lamda(ncap7 - 1) As Double Dim spline As Nag_Spline ... ' Allocate some memory to spline.lamda spline.lamda = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(ncap7 * Len(lamda(0))) ' Then copy local lamda array to the allocated memory. Marshal.Copy(lamda, 0, spline.lamda, ncap7)
The Marshal.Copy overload used here is
Public Shared Sub Copy (source As Double(), startIndex As Integer, _ destination As IntPtr, length As Integer)
To access the array pointer stored in the VB structure we again use Marshal.Copy. The overload used is
Public Shared Sub Copy (source As IntPtr, destination As Double(), _ startIndex As Integer, length As Integer)
We need to import System.Runtime.InteropServices for this method.
In, for example, a user-supplied function such an array may be accessed by first copying it to a VB array. If the array is updated it must then be copied back. This is done in the same way as with a pointer to an array passed to a call-back function.
Dim mycomm(3) As Double '4 elements ' Copy from pointer to local array Call Marshal.Copy(comm.p, mycomm, 0, 4) ... ' Copy back from local array to pointer Call Marshal.Copy(mycomm, 0, comm.p, 4)
Assigning pointers in VB.NET structures is illustrated in the e02bac and d02ejc example projects.
Assigning function pointers in VB.NET Structures
The function pointer is declared as a delegate passed by value. For example:
Delegate Sub NAG_E04_PRINTFUN_DELEGATE ( _ ByRef p1 As Nag_Search_State, _ ByRef p2 As Nag_Comm _ ) ... Sub set_print_fun(ByVal ptr_fun As NAG_E04_PRINTFUN_DELEGATE, _ ByRef options As Nag_E04_Opt) options.print_fun = ptr_fun End Sub
The call to this function uses the AddressOf operator to pass the address of the user-defined function, called monit in this example.
Call set_print_fun(AddressOf monit, options)
This usage is illustrated in the e04ccce code within the Misc Functions example.
Internally VB uses Unicode ("wide") characters, whereas the NAG C Library uses ASCII. VB handles the conversion from Unicode to ASCII for function/subroutine arguments but not for strings in structures. Therefore, some C strings are declared as Byte arrays in the VB header file. These VB strings need to be copied to and from the Byte arrays.
To copy a C null terminated string to a VB String, e.g. the fail.message Byte array in the NAG error structure:
Dim fail As New NagError Dim strResult As New StringBuilder Dim enc As New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding ... strResult.Append("e04ccc failed with error code " & enc.GetString(fail.message))
Or, to copy a VB String to an optional Byte array parameter to a NAG C Library function:
Dim filename As New StringBuilder Dim options As New Nag_E04_Opt Dim enc As New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding ... filename.Append("C:\e04ccce_output.r") ' Pad the end of filename with null character filename.Length = NAG_FILE_LEN ' Encode filename into a sequence of bytes options.outfile = enc.GetBytes(filename.ToString)
Arrays of strings are declared as IntPtr arrays. VB String arrays can be copied to IntPtr arrays using the StringToHGlobalAnsi method of the Marshal class:
Dim ch() As String Dim ch_ptr_array() As IntPtr ... For i = 0 To ch.Length - 1 ch_ptr_array(i) = Marshal.StringToHGlobalAnsi(ch(i)) Next i index = m01ncc(..., ch_ptr_array, ...)
An array of pointers to null terminated strings returned from a C Library function can be processed using the PtrToStringAnsi method of the Marshal class:
Dim model_ptr_array() As IntPtr Dim model_str() As String ... Call g02eec(..., model_ptr_array, ...) For i = 0 To maxip - 1 model_str(i) = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(model_ptr_array(i)) Next i
Output strings are declared as IntPtr. A string returned from a C Library function as IntPtr can be copied to a VB String using the PtrToStringAnsi method of the Marshal class:
Dim teststr As String Dim strptr As IntPtr ... strptr = x04nbc(testnum) teststr = Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi(strptr)
See m01ncc and various routines within the Misc Functions project for examples of these.
Console Window
A number of NAG C Library functions, by default, create a console window to display intermediate results, etc.
How to use the console window depends on which version of the C Library you have; use the "Check NAG DLL Accessibility" feature from the Start Menu (as described in the Users' Note) to ascertain the Mark number, then follow the appropriate advice below.
Alternatively, this output may be redirected to a file, as may be seen in the e04ccc example within the Misc Functions project, or suppressed entirely as may be seen in the e04nfc example.
Using the console window from Mark 9.6 or later
The console window may be closed temporarily (until more output arrives) via File | Close or permanently (until the next time the application is invoked) via File | Exit. Closing the console window from the close button ("X") in the top right hand corner or via Alt-F4 has the same effect as File | Close. There are also cut, copy and paste facilities available via the Edit menu.
(The Excel/VBA7 e04ucc example uses this feature.)
Using the console window from an earlier version than Mark 9.6
We strongly recommend that you contact NAG to obtain the latest release or download it from the NAG website. If you have a version earlier than Mark 9.6 (excluding Mark 8 of the NAG C Library DLLs), and you are unable to upgrade to a more recent version, then the following information applies.
If a console window is created, it is important to note that closing this window by clicking the button marked "X" in the top right hand corner will immediately close the application. If you are running the program in the Visual Basic environment this will close Visual Basic without saving any modified files. So some other way of dismissing the console window should be used. (This problem does not arise with the latest release of the NAG C Library.)
The Windows function FreeConsole may be used to dismiss the console window safely.
Declare Function FreeConsole Lib "kernel32" () As Boolean ... Dim i as Boolean ... i = FreeConsole()
Once the console window has been closed in this way, the NAG C Library will not re-open it.
If you require further advise on the use of FreeConsole, please contact NAG.

Barnet will need at least 80 points to secure a place in the Skrill Premier play-offs according to the Bees director of football.
"The challenge we are setting the players is to play the back end of this season like a championship winning side," admits Paul Fairclough.
Barnet currently sit eighth in the table and have taken 42 points from their 27 matches this season.
With 19 games remaining the Bees will have to improve if they are to challenge for promotion but ten of those matches are at The Hive and Fairclough feels it's vital to take maximum points at home.
"We need to get another 38 points at least and even then we could miss out," Fairclough explained.
"We've got ten home games remaining and we've got to win those, get the 30 points and then pick up bits and pieces away from home.
"But every time we don't pick up maximum points from here on then it gets that little bit harder for us."
Fairclough insists the Bees have the quality to outplay any side in the Skrill Premier but says the side must now learn "how to win games".
He said: "Good coaching is all about starting points. At this stage every player knows what they are doing on the pitch wherever the ball is.
"That is what we have developed and we are very good in the first two thirds of the pitch. It is just the age old problem of what you do when you get into that final third.
"So it is about being that little bit more incisive. I am confident that we will be able to develop that but it needs to happen now."

About Electronic New Jersey
Supported by grants from the NJ Historical Commission, the Electronic New Jersey Project provides primary source learning materials and related instructional activities within 23 curriculum units to increase student and faculty understanding of New Jersey's role in U. S. history. Beginning in 1997, faculty at Hunterdon Central Regional HS in Flemington NJ and Spotswood NJ HS collaborated with archivists and librarians at the Alexander Library to select, study and develop resources for this project. Howard Green, research director of the NJ Historical Commission, assisted in the selection and review of sources for the project, lending his substantial expertise in NJ history throughout the development of the site. Since that time, a consortium of New Jersey school districts have collaborated with Rutgers University-New Brunswick, the NJ State Archives, and the NJ Historical Society to further develop and expand the project website.
In January 2011, the Electronic New Jersey website was relocated to the Educators Portal of the NJ Digital Highway as part of a substantial site redesign and expansion funded by a grant from the NJ Historical Commission.

2 recent teaser trailers were released for Fallout 4. For the first video, it shows that the Brotherhood of Steel, the Enclave, Caeser's Legion, and the NCR will be featured in this game which is set in San Francisco, California. I will focus on the main video.
1. Audio The song playing from the radio is "Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel. In my opinion, the various different songs for Fallout in general reflect the mood of the game. The first Fallout games had a sort of detached surrealism with its songs, while 3 had a sort of light hearted mood among the desolate Capital Wastes, while New Vegas had a kind of loneliness aura. "The Sound of Silence" has a combination of sadness and happiness at the same time.
2. The Handgun As the camera zooms out, the first noticeable thing is the silver handgun sitting on the stand. I might be wrong, but it looks a lot like Halo's Magnum, which is to say, like a hand cannon.
3. The Dead Guy As the camera zooms out further, a person can be seen slouching on the couch, obviously shot. He has some sort of robes that bear strong resemblance to a Brotherhood of Steel Scribe. After all, Fallout is not complete without its iconic Brotherhood. This also may connect what happened with the Brotherhood after the early Fallout games.
4. American Flag This may or may not be relevant, but the Pre-War American flag(Thirteen Stars instead of 50) is visible in the background. Hopefully F4 will do what F3 did: display The old and sometimes alien American way.
5. The Rifle You can notice that on the left wall there is some sort of hunting rifle with a sniper rifle above it, but it looks more high tech than in the other games. Since this game is featured in the wilderness, "hunting" styles of playing may emerge.
6. Magic Bullet As the camera zooms out of the cabin, the window can be seen, with a small neat bullet hole in the middle where the bullet passed through on it's way to the Scribe. Take in account this window has been exposed to the radioactive element at least 200 years. The window should have been warped or cracked when the bullet passed through. However, the bullet may have been a special assassination bullet where it is very difficult to track its path.
7. Woods As soon as the camera zooms out of the cabin completely, you can notice that there is dense trees and fauna all over the place. Due to the pine trees and the rain, I'm guessing that it is some sort of forest preserve (Yosemite maybe?).
8. Weather Throughout the Fallout series, it's no secret that sometimes things are left out of the already jam packed game because of space issues. Things that are not necessary but really cool. One thing that I have hoped for was a weather engine that could transform the Wasteland from searing heat to radioactive snow storms. In this trailer, rain seems to be a key element since it is always present and during the credits rainfall is the only thing that can be heard.
9. The Highway Near the end, a small road is seen with various Fallout Pre-War vehicles littering the road. This reminds me of Point Lookout with its dark winding roads that lead into te mysterious wilderness.
10. The Sniper At the finale, the camera zooms fast enough for you to get a glimpse of the sniper crouching. If you stop the video, you can see the man is actually an Enclave trooper with Tesla Mk II Power Armor, signaling the return of the original bad guys in gaming. What really interest me is the fact that trooper managed to snipe a Brotherhood scribe who are famous for their paranoia in the middle of the woods. I believe that the F4 Enclave will be a resurrected remnant group of the F2 Oil Rig who have been in California so long that they have adapted to the chaotic wilderness. Maybe the sniper was a Special Forces soldier who specialized in forest warfare, which is completely different from the bumbling and inexperienced troopers in the Capital Wasteland Enclave chapter.

Aisle by Aisle: Buying Healthy Breadby Toby Amidor in Grocery Shopping, Healthy Tips, June 15, 2009
Take a walk down the bread aisle at your market and see how long it takes to find a loaf without high-fructose corn syrup. It took me 30 minutes the first time I tried! Many packaged bread loaves have added ingredients that aren't so healthy, even though their labels sport fancy words like "multigrain" and "unbleached flour." Follow these tips to make sure you get the healthiest.
Nutrition Basics
Store-bought breads provide tons of B-vitamins and selenium and have around 80 to 110 calories per slice. Basic bread (without sugary glazes or lots of add-ins) is also low in fat with no cholesterol. The fiber content depends on the type and variety of bread you choose.
Whole Grain vs. Refined
All grains are made of three parts: the large endosperm (where protein and carbs are found), the germ (which contains fat and some B-vitamins) and the bran (outer layer with fiber and vitamins). When bread is "whole grain," it means the entire grain is left in tact. When it's "refined" or "milled," the bran is removed, as is some of the germ. This is why white bread contains no fiber — it has no bran in it. Whole wheat and whole rye are some common whole-grain breads, but reading the label is key to making sure you're getting the real deal.
Read the Label
If you buy the right bread, it's an easy way to get some healthy whole grains, but don't be fooled by fancy words on food labels. Make sure the first ingredient listed has the word "whole" — like whole rye, whole wheat or whole cornmeal. Be wary of product that say "made with whole grains," "made with whole wheat" or even "multigrain" — this means only a small percent of the bread contains whole grains (not enough for any significant health benefits). Don't be dupped by packaging that says "contains wheat flour" or "contains unbleached flour" — that doesn't mean it's whole grain either.
Hidden Ingredients
Finding bread without high-fructose corn syrup listed in the top 4 ingredients is tough. Finding bread completely free of the sweetener can be even more challenging. Sometimes you may also see cheese added to the mix. Read the ingredients carefully, especially if you have a dairy allergy.
Here's a rundown of some common breads you can find:
- Whole Wheat: Look for the words "100% whole wheat" on the package, and the ingredients should list "whole-wheat flour" as the first ingredient.
- Multigrain: As the name implies, it's made from many grains — this doesn't mean that they're whole grains. Even if the package says that it contains wheat — it may only make up 2 or 3% of the bread. If the label lists "enriched wheat flour" as the first grain, it's not the real deal.
- Brown Bread: Just because it's brown doesn't mean it's healthier. Many companies add food coloring or molasses to create that brown color. Check the ingredients for the word "whole," especially for brown breads like pumpernickel.
- Potato Bread: This isn't a good choice if you're looking to up your fiber — it barely has any. Plus, potato flour is usually the fifth or so ingredient ("enriched wheat flour" is typically the first ingredient and there's often dairy in there). Calories range from around 80 to 100 per slice, so watch your portions, too.
What To Choose
Aim for 110 calories or less per slice and at least 3 grams of fiber. If you have the time, bake your own — you can freeze extras for later. But so you don't have to stand in the bread aisle for hours, here are some packaged breads we like:

Local SAAMtastic Events
One of the most exciting things about Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is all of the local events and happenings that honor the occasion. Today, I was able to take a break from my desk and head over to a local college for a speaking event on human trafficking. Theresa Flores, who survived human trafficking as a teen living in an affluent Michigan suburb, described her own experiences of sexual violence, exploitation, and control as well as some ideas she has about how to address this problem.
Theresa reminded everyone in attendance that there is no one face for sex trafficking. It is not something that only happens far away or in distant countries. Human trafficking happens in our neighborhoods. This fact was a particular point of emphasis, and so she shared several facts that really stuck with me. In the U.S. runaway or "throwaway" youth are at particular risk for sexual exploitation, 35% of trafficked children are sold into sex slavery by their family members, and 62% are tricked into it. She shared that an estimated 100,000 minors are currently involved in sex trafficking right now. Being in a state with a lot of highways or on the border of the country can make the state a leader in trafficking crime.
Theresa describes trafficking as modern day slavery. It involves using violence and coercion to force another person into sex work or other labor for profit. For this reason, she emphasizes that we need to make the connection between our language and culture and the perpetuation of this crime. First, she stressed that using terms like "child prostitute" mislabels the problem. Children do not choose to sell sex. She also stressed that we live in a culture that inappropriately glamorizes pimps, showing images of Halloween costumes for both children and adults and examples of shows and movies that glorify the lives of "pimps'n'hoes." Sexualizing children's toys and presenting violent and abusive images in advertising help to promote a culture that tolerates sexual exploitation of children. Theresa suggested that anybody could critically question these messages and that this is a starting point in ending human trafficking.
I loved having the opportunity to attend a local event and hear some critical discussion on ending sexual violence today. If you think this is just the kind of SAAM-infused activity you need, be sure and check out what's happening in your area this month. Once you figure it out, consider submitting it to our National Calendar of events. This way, others can learn about it too!

Unsweetened cats, as described in PLoS July 2005, ScienceNOW 25 July 2005 and BBC News 1 August 2005. Cat owners have known for a long time that cats are not attracted to sweet food. Now the reason for this has been found by a group of scientists at the Monell Chemical Senses Centre, Philadelphia, USA, who have analysed genes for taste in cats. The sensation of sweetness occurs when molecules of sugar or similar substances impinge on a receptor - a large protein on the surface of cells in the tongue.
In mammals the receptor is made from two protein sub-units, which are made from instructions carried on two genes named Tas1r2 and Tas1r3. The research team looked for these genes in cats and found both of them, but one does work properly. Tas1r2 has 247 DNA letters missing in one place and inappropriate "stop" instructions in other parts. This means cat taste bud cells cannot make the protein coded by this gene, and therefore cannot make the receptor for sweet taste. As a result cats cannot taste sweet things.
The defective gene is not only found in domestic cats, but also in cheetahs and tigers. The scientists concluded "this molecular change was very likely an important event in the evolution of the cat's carnivorous behaviour" and they are planning to study "related animals, such as the hyena and mongoose, to help trace when and why sweet taste receptors became lost in the evolutionary process."
Editorial Comment: A change from a functioning gene to a defunct gene is the opposite of evolution, i.e. it is a decrease in complexity, not the addition of a new characteristic. The finding of this defunct gene may strengthen the case that domestic cats are descended from tigers, but the results of the gene study can be better explained by Biblical history than evolution. Genesis 1:30 tells us that all animals, including cats were originally made to eat plants. As many plant foods have a sweet component, it makes sense that all plant eaters (cats included) would have had any genes needed to taste sweetness. After Noah's flood many animals, including cats, became carnivores and vegetables (and hence sweet foods) became less important in their diet. Therefore, when one of the ancestral cat's genes for the sweet receptor was damaged it did not affect the now carnivorous cat's ability to survive, so it has remained in their descendants to this day. (In the past we have upset many dog owners by pointing out that most domestic dogs are degenerate mutants. Now we can say the same thing about cats!) (Ref. felines, devolution, genome)
Sweet Cat Follow Up
Sweet cat follow up: after an article on the defunct sweetness receptor in cats (above) where we reported that a gene for the sugar detecting taste receptor in cats is broken and therefore cats cannot taste sweetness in foods. Sharon Brown of Gages Lake, Illinois, USA writes: "I have a newly-diagnosed diabetic cat. When I was afraid she'd been overdosed on insulin recently, I offered her Karo (corn) syrup, and she licked it up eagerly. She would likely have licked up much more, if I'd let her. She then seemed to feel much better. So, it appears that cats who are diabetics can tell that the syrup is sweet and should supply blood sugar. Hmm."
Editorial Comment: Even if the cat couldn't taste the sweetness, corn syrup has many other chemicals in it, so it would still some kind of flavour that could be tasted. Sugar is rapidly absorbed into the blood and the cat would quickly sense that the corn syrup drink was doing it good, and would associate that flavour with feeling better, and want more. When they are unwell, cats and other carnivores are known to seek out plants that contain chemicals that help them get well again. Animals can be very good at self-medication, which involves the need for many pre-existent designed feedback mechanisms. (Ref. felines, disease, medicine)>

maecenas - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkInteresting design, that is a lot of $$$ if its just used a console replacement, but if you really take advantage of the power, the fact that its a full-fledged PC, and the mobility, it does make more sense.
Also, first paragraph of the conclusion: "Of course there are attempts underway to make the PC-you-play-next-to a thinK of the past," Reply
warezme - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkThis is what the new Mac Pro should have been designed like, sans the big round dial in the front. It would have been a reasonable evolution of the style, not the trash can design. Reply
CalaverasGrande - Saturday, January 04, 2014 - linkthe only thing this gains over the new Mac Pro is a single PCIe slot.
The rest of it is kind of the typical hard to service PC design.
Calling the New Mac a "trashcan" is juvenile. If you said it was so not rack mount friendly it could be called "Rack Hostile" I would agree though.
And I still curse Jon Ive whenever a new Mac Model debuts with no headphone, USB or power switch on the front. Seriously. Reply
Antronman - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 - linkThe Mac Pro is trash. The 4000USD one doesn't have any extreme features like custom cooling as you would see on a 4000USD enthusiast build. The Firepro D500 GPUs aren't even AMD's best Workstation GPUs. It is a piece of garbage, just like Macbooks. Those things don't even have a CPU cooler. Reply
Kilnk - Saturday, February 08, 2014 - linkWow, way to prove that you like to talk out of your arse. You're comparing oranges and bananas. Appropriate price comparisons have been done by several people and they can be found on the net. L2, google, read and and refine your opinion before spouting it out. Reply
zero2dash - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkLooks like the OCP logo from Robocop (especially with the window). Reply
dgingeri - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkA Toshiba hard drive? eeeewwwwwww........
be prepared to replace that within a few months. Reply
purerice - Wednesday, January 08, 2014 - linkHush, troll, hush! Reply
A5 - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI'd actually rather see an H87 variant before an X79 one. Give me something this well-designed but a touch cheaper (a street price of $400-450 would be ideal...) that I can throw an i3 4130 into with a decent GPU and that's a real winner.
Or an even cheaper version that ditches the GPU compromises and is basically designed for the top-end AMD APU could work as a really basic intro HTPC/light gaming box. Reply
A5 - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkNow that I think about it, at that point you may as well buy a PS4 for $400 and a Roku or AppleTV to handle the rest... Reply
eanazag - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkI'd rather not talk about the AMD APU option till they release their new APUs. We are so close to the scheduled launch dates. Reply
PreciseInteli - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkThese smaller builds are exciting. Just helped a friend build a Mini-ITX build with a 290x ... incredibly jealous ... still with a huge tower here.
I'd like to see you guys push this slightly further with a card like the Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X or 780. These cards thermal limit themselves anyways ... I think it could be interesting. Reply
Babar Javied - Saturday, January 04, 2014 - linkI hear you man. I still have a Corsair 800D and though I do love the case, it is f*%$ing huge. I've been considering opting for an m-itx for sometime now. Reply
jhoff80 - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkLove the design of the case, but as for the exterior, it looks terrible to me. I don't know why nobody is currently making a case in this layout that has a subtle exterior suitable for a living room (Silverstone's upcoming looks variant cheap and plasticy).
These (in my opinion) gaudy gamer-style cases just don't really make sense for a Steambox alternative; even Valve themselves knew to use a subtle black case. Reply
rocktober13 - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI just put together a Mini-ITX build with the EVGA Hadron Air and the ASRock Z87E-ITX. It ends up being less than $400 for a similar "barebones" setup as the M8. Also, I think the Hadron looks great (black and sleek), is smaller than the M8, and it's a really well put together considering it's EVGA's first case. Reply
jhoff80 - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkAgreed, that looks nice, but what I really want something is horizontal / component -style to fit in my TV stand.
Temporarily, I'm using a Coolermaster Elite 120, but I'd rather something that looks like the Steambox (except maybe with a front LED that is MUCH dimmer than that one). Reply
DARBYOTHRULL - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI agree, where the cases that don't say "I'm twenty-two years-old". Reply
patterson32 - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkMore like "I'm 10 and I'm cool!" It's really hard trying to find a nice looking case. They're either very cheap looking or they're made for 10 year olds. LEDs, case windows, bright colors, etc. are very ugly looking and screams "I'm a kool kid!" The only thing that looks nice about this thing is the matte finish. Reply
smartypnt4 - Friday, January 31, 2014 - linkI completely agree. Then you find a case that looks awesome and you find out it doesn't meet your specs that you would like. Specifically, apparently the combination of 11-12" GPU combined with a 650W PSU in a small mITX (read: EVGA Hadron Air or smaller) that looks halfway decent is impossible to find. I really like the SilverStone FT03-Mini, but it's limited to SFX power supplies. The EVGA Hadron Air is great, but 500W isn't enough for ideally what I'd want, nor does it allow for >10.5" video cards.
C'est la vie, eh? Nothing is ever perfect for what I'd like. Reply
SunLord - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkThat power cord connector looks like the standard one that comes with most pc laptop power blocks for the last few years my three hp and one gateway all have that plug Reply
Lonyo - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkIndeed.
I have just had a clear out and found about 3 of those as spares in various boxes and with various other junk.
Sure, I have about 3x as many kettle leads, after throwing lots out, but they aren't that uncommon for people who tinker with their hardware/etc. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 06, 2014 - linkIt's the Mickey Mouse plug! :) Reply
Bassrockerx - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI am really interested in this chasis because i want my next rig to be a mobile mini itx system. Two things that anand did not mention about this chasis is that it holds two more ssds in a hidden compartment behind the psu. And the creative labs audio card has a built in headphone amp that is very powerful. This is a very valuable added extra in my book and makes this chassis great for a mobile gaming rig or potentially a portable recording studio. If i was to build this i would likely use either a i3 or a low power t series i5 for a processor. I would only load te internals with a 400gig intel ssd and i would take one of my Sli gtx 770s off my main rig and take it on the go. Hopefully by the time i would build this a 600w power suply in this form factor would be available. Although the 450w included would probably work fine. I suppose i could live with a 760 or a 7950 and just bear with the slightly lower detail because it would only be for traveling and going to friends houses and lans. Now if asrock. I wish asrock would make a carrying case for the m8 at 600 dollars one should be included! Reply
IanCutress - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI'm the one that wrote the review, rather than Anand :) My name is up there at the top.
I did mention that the chassis holds four 2.5" drives, as does the ASRock specifications, behind the GPU - right there on the first page. The ODD is behind the PSU, and users could put in more SSDs if they want to affix them with custom mods. Reply
56tb - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkKind of think the M8 thing will be lost on the US. Australia and the UK, mate means 'buddy' in the US i'm pretty sure its just someone you procreate with. Reply
DARBYOTHRULL - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI think we'll get it. Reply
IanCutress - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkWell it's co-designed by BMW, so the M8 Series of cars with an M8 series of PCs as well, I think that was the main association. Reply

hardwickj - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkThey couldn't have used an uglier case. These guys need to start taking minimalist cues from Apple/Wasena/OriginAE! No self respecting person will let this sit next to their TV and invite their friends over. Reply
mwildtech - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - link50' HDMI cable, Wireless Xbox 360 controller and Steam Big Picture = My Steam Box Reply
BPB - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkThat would be me too. The 360 wireless setup is great! Reply
56tb - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkTek Syndicate did a video of this, you can find it on youtube. They went into a lot of detail on thermals and suchlike, so worth checking out. They even used a Velociraptor to add some extra heat to the mix. Reply
pirspilane - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI bought an ASRock barebones system and would recommend steering clear of this. Their techs are either grossly incompetent, dishonest, or both. If you get one with a defect, they will claim your memory, processor, assembly (take your pick) is the problem and give you the runaround. You will waste endless hours of your precious time dealing with their ineptitude, not to mention the cost and time of trips to UPS. Reply
Sivar - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkPlease change the photographs in the article to JPG format.
PNG is the best format by far for line art, technical drawings, charts, screen captures from Excel, -- anything without a lot of random color variability -- but is an absolutely terrible format for website photographs.
The images load slowly and many mobile users have to pay for bandwidth past a certain point. Reply
IanCutress - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkNoted for the future. Reply
nerd1 - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkAt such a price, it actually seems more logical to get a powerful gaming laptop. You can spend $2K to get a 17" gaming laptop with QC cpu, 780M, SSD and that is actually mobile. Reply
nunomoreira10 - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkSo true, win everywhere. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 06, 2014 - linkThat 780M is about as fast as a GTX 660TI, which is a bit more than half as powerful as some GTX 780 / R9 290X cards, which you can fit in here (450W is fine for the current crop of high end cards as long as your CPU isn't OC'ed to the max).
So I don't see how there is even the slightest comparison. And once you get into 780M SLI territory, you are way up there in price. Reply
cgalyon - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI've read elsewhere that the default fan configuration is not ideal (because they are oriented one up, one down in the top and bottom of the case). Has AsRock changed this? I would like a more detailed look at us thermal characteristics of the case of possible, as it was one of the main things holding me back (the other being weight).
Also, I would like to see a review comparing this case to another barebones case, the Shuttle SZ86R6. Don't know how feasible that would be... Reply
wperry - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkWith cases like this, where size is a major factor, I'd love to see it photographed with a commonplace item so that we have a better sense of scale. Even something as simple as a soda can would suffice. Reply

Gigaplex - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkThat comparison shot actually makes it look pretty big. I've got a Prodigy and it's not a small case. This M8 looks taller. Reply
IanCutress - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkM8 is a few mm taller, and the bulk goes all the way up. The M8 is almost square, but again, half the width due to the PCIe riser. Compared to all my regular PC cases, the Prodigy is small and mobile - the M8 even more so, for something with a big GPU. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Saturday, January 04, 2014 - linkAgreed, I was disappointed not to see it beside the likes of an Xbox 360 and AW X51. Reply
pierrot - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkI like the riser card design for a flatter size but jeez its ugly Reply
Xpl1c1t - Thursday, January 02, 2014 - linkWith the industry's clear trend towards mitx and potential future adoption of picoitx, it puzzles me why there aren't reference GPU cards with any sort of gaming potential that are built on the half-height PCI standard. Palit's GTS 450 and AMD's 7750 were release years apart and yet remain in the same performance category.
Utilizing cards meant for full atx chassis and with lengths exceeding that of a mitx board effectively limits the capabilities of system builders to increase the performance/square-inch factor without resorting to expensive designs requiring special mounting and riser cards... (pointing finger at the recent Mac Pro design, while cool, is a brick in the face of the enthusiast system builder who cannot and will not have the ability to upgrade using market components).
Now, if laptops can run a GTX 880M with sufficient power and cooling... that same chip should as sure as hell me able to be integrated onto a half height card without exceeding the width of a mitx board. Please, add a few more layers on the pcb to accomplish it, we'll still end up saving money via not needing to utilize these sorts of compromising cases. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkProbably because sales for those two cards were too poor to justify creating newer cards on the same form factor. Reply

The circular device in the centre is akin to the i-Drive button seen on certain BMW cars – this is the button to turn the PC on.

brucek2 - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkIs the optical drive really DVD only (not Bluray?) If so that seems exactly wrong to me. I'd rather have either no optical drive at all and save the ~$70, or have one that can play Blurays. Reply

IanCutress - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkPersonal preference, was always taught to use two from the early days and it seems unnatural to my eyes to see only one. There are reams of articles, blogs and even societies and groups for each, just as there are the serial comma (which again I was taught to use, and leaving it out feels wrong), or that companies are plural entities, not singular. I always used double spacing for publishing to scientific journals, never heard a peep from their stylists. Reply

Gigaplex - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkWhy did they bother using the Z87 chipset? With that minimal power deliver and recommendation to avoid overclocking, it would have been cheaper to use the H87 chipset. Reply
theNiZer - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkIan Cutress - I am surprised that you seem to take heat and noise considerations so light, especially when many other reviews point out these weaknesses in the M8. And why did you not test these aspects more systematically in the review? Reply
IanCutress - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkI didn't see any issues with heat - I stuck to ASRock's recommended power limit on the GPU and used a low powered 35W CPU rather than a full fat 4770K and overclocking. As for noise, the only equipment I own to measure noise are my android devices, which are not calibrated in any shape or form. Plus I live right next to a main road, so there is always noise of cars going past, affecting any reading. Suffice to say, it is audible at idle at 1 ft away, and does not particularly bother me at full load, but I may be biased by a large threshold due to my location. Reply
colonelclaw - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkThe key issue that Valve needs to convince the public about, with regards to Steam Boxes, is that the higher up front cost is considerably offset by the savings you will make on buying games from Steam, especially in tandem with the frequent Steam Sales, Daily Deals, Midweek Madness etc.
The problem is that long-sightedness can be a bit of a hard concept for many. $500 for a console, versus maybe $800 for a Steam Box is a hard sell, even though we all know that 20 games at $60 dollars versus 20 games at $15-$20 is a no-brainer.
And that might even be a conservative analogy - I have over 150 games on Steam, at least a quarter of which are AAAs. Being a bit of a cheapskate, I only buy games on sale, yet I never have to wait long after release to do so. The added advantage of this is that if the release was buggy it is more likely to have been fixed by the time it goes on sale. Reply

Navvie - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkBMW designed this? Clearly not the same guys who design their cars.... if their cars were this fugly, nobody would by them, ever.
Also some of the sentence structures in this article are hard to read...
eg. "ASRock now come to the market with the M8 barebones based on a BMW design for the Z87 platform, at half the width of the Bitfenix Prodigy and a high build quality."
Makes me think the design for the case is based on BMW's design for the Z87. Some far off successor to their Z3 and Z4 cars.
"ASRock now come to the market with the M8, a barebones for their Z87 platform, designed by BMW." Would be better, but still not right. Reply
CknSalad - Friday, January 03, 2014 - linkIt's good to see the SFF market finally gaining much needed steam with intriguing products such as this one. That said, I honestly prefer small shoebox-sized cases like the sg05 or the small tower cases like the crowd-funded Ncase M1, which I actually currently own :D.
I'm okay with mid-tower and full tower cases as there will always be a want/need for an enthusiast market, but the DIY desktop market really needs to start making a lot more M-Atx cases that are around the size of the Silverstone SG10 or TJ08-E. If more cases like the Asrock M8 come up, I'm sure that the desktop market will garner more interest from the Average Joe consumer. Reply
ImSpartacus - Friday, January 03, 2014 - link"The mini-ITX motherboard designed specifically for the chassis forgoes any significant power delivery and heatsink design, which is perhaps an oversight – for this build I went for a an i7 CPU but a low power 'T' model SKU so as not to overload or burn out the power delivery. ASRock state that the fans they supply below the motherboard help with the VRM cooling and thus nothing should stop a user placing an i7-4770K into the system, but overclocking longevity might be limited. I decided to apply some brain and use common sense for our test build here."
This paragraph feels a little un-Anandtech.
I'm used to reasoned arguments supported by buckets of objective data. This paragraph feels further from that and closer to FUD territory.
Granted, I have no reason to agree or disagree with the point raised in that paragraph, but that's really the problem. For me, an Anandtech article educates its audience and let's the audience do most of the conclusion-determining. Reply
kyuu - Saturday, January 04, 2014 - linkCan't say I agree. This is a tech blog, not a science journal. The writers' personal opinions and foibles come into play all the time, and that's fine. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 06, 2014 - linkSo he should have pushed the platform until it burns out to prove or disprove what they said? What exactly is the FUD part for you? Seems like he gave us the AsRock PR line and his assessment of it. Going much further would increase the cost and risk by quite a lot, something he probably thought was not needed, and I have to agree. Reply

And give me a CPU cooler that is tailored to the case, plus some more power phases for driving an i7 at around 4.2 to 4.5GHz.

I'm looking for an improved Rx miniPCIe for my laptop to upgrade an Intel 5300 card that has limited injection abilities (especially under Win7).
Main usage under Win7 64bit and BT4 r2 - especially for 802.11g WEP/WPA Pentesting and somewhat less for 802.11n.
My laptop is Dell Inspiron 1520 that has full size miniPCIe slots and 3 built-in antennas (upto 3x3 MiMo).
I saw the very good reviews on the SR71-E but since its discontinued (right?) and costly.. I wondered if theres an alternative model with similar properties - especially on the Rx/monitoring abilities (can be a bit less powerful on the Tx side).
Preferably that can utilize the 3x3 antennas on my current laptop.
Might be Half size mPCIe to use with adapter (so I'll be able to keep it if I'll switch to a smaller laptop).
USB/External adapters are not relevant to me at the moment.

equations based modeling
I am involved in equations based modeling for transport phenomena in porous materials. I am using PDE coefficient forms and as well as inbuilt equation systems (eg. Darcy's Law) together in a model. I have solved a model in rectangular coordinate system and now I am starting on a problem which involved cylindrical coordinate system. Do I need to make adjustment to my exiting equations (in rectangular coordinate system) in order to use it in cylindrical coordinate system for PDE Coefficient form or Darcy's Law ? Or if I simply select cylindrical coordinate system while initialization of my model and just enter my equations, the way I did in rectangular form, will it work ?

Lowy, Miranda win three in Florida for Central wrestlers
FORT MYERS, FLA. — Central College 197-pounder Tyler Lowy (Phoenix, Ariz., Thunderbird HS) and 285-pounder Jaime Miranda (freshman, Aberdeen, Wash.) both posted 3-0 marks but the Dutch wrestlers dropped two of three matches at the Gulf Coast Duals Saturday.
North Central (Ill.) tripped the Dutch 29-13 and No. 27-ranked Alma College (Mich.) was a 30-15 winner before Central (3-4) outdueled NAIA Wheeling Jesuit (W. Va.) 25-17.
Lowy was a 14-3 victor over Casey Greenberg of North Central, edged Trevor Maresh of Alma 4-3 and then delivered a pivotal fall over Max Lacey of Wheeling Jesuit in 1:51.
"That was a huge pin for us," coach Eric Van Kley said. "We were down 17-16 going into the last two weights and that got us the lead, then Jaime (Miranda) pulled out a tight match to get the win."
Miranda won by forfeit against North Central, pinned Alma's Andrew Ackerman in 1:03 and blanked Wheeling Jesuit's Logan Bauman, 3-0.
But Van Kley was disappointed in his squad's overall showing in the first two matches.
"We knew coming down here that we would battle three really good teams," he said. "We expected every dual to be competitive and it was. But that said, we were really, really flat in the morning. We just didn't compete well in those first two matches."
Central had a break after the Alma match, and gave a more energized performance against what Van Kley viewed as a strong Wheeling Jesuit team–the Cardinals toppled North Central earlier, 25-18.
"I was proud to see the guys respond in the afternoon," he said. "They gave an outstanding effort. It was nice to finish strong and bounce back after a couple of tough matches."
Van Kley cited freshman Zach Moss (Winterset) for delivering a pivotal 4-2 win at 165 pounds.
"He really gave a great effort," he said. "That got us a big win in a swing match and gave us some momentum."
The matches were wrestled at Riverdale High School in Fort Myers. Central freshman Edwin Etienne (Lehigh Acres, Fla.) graduated from Riverdale last spring. Etienne, who also played for the Dutch football squad, will compete at 285 pounds in the spring semester.
Central has a four-week layoff, returning to action Jan. 11 in the Central Invitational. Van Kley said the Dutch need to use the time wisely.
"The biggest thing is the guys need to get some rest, mentally and physically," he said. "We need to reload and get ready for a big second half of the season. We're young in a lot of spots. We've got to keep working hard and keep getting better."

Easter Fun Facts!
I hope that nobody minds my tiny obsession with useless knowledge concerning statistics and facts about food and holidays. I happen to think that knowing a plethora of nonsensical information is an incredibly fun conversation starter, especially in awkward or uncomfortable moments. Although DearSugar may not approve, I'm all for avoiding horrid questions by quickly changing the subject. I mean how else do you deal when you're at your family's Easter brunch and your uncle asks you how your job is going and you were fired the week before? Well instead of bursting into tears or bashing your former employer say: hey did you know that 90 million chocolate Easter bunnies are made for Easter each year? Or that the world's largest jelly bean weighs over 6000 pounds?? I'm telling you read through my Easter fun facts and you'll have something interesting to say when you are at a loss for words. To find out what part of a chocolate bunny gets eaten first and just how many marshmallow Peeps get consumed each year
- When taking a bite into a chocolate bunny, 76% of Americans prefer to bite off the ears first. 5% eat the feet first and 4% eat the tail first.
- During the Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Peeps - making Peeps the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy.
- Adults prefer milk chocolate (65%) over dark chocolate (27%).
- 86% would prefer having chocolate bunnies instead of a live rabbit.
- Each day throughout the year, 5 million marshmallow chicks and bunnies are produced in preparation for Easter.
- 16 billion jelly beans are made specifically for Easter which is enough to fill a plastic egg the size of a 9-story building.
- Kids prefer red jelly beans and 75% are willing to do extra chores for more Easter candy.
- 57% of kids get up super early on Easter to see what the Easter bunny has brought them.
- 80% of parents carry on the tradition of the Easter bunny by preparing a surprise Easter basket filled with goodies for their children and 90% of adults hope for their own Easter treat.
- The first chocolate eggs were made in Germany in the 19th century and remain one of the most popular Easter candies today.
- Solid chocolate bunnies are favored, followed closely by hollow chocolate bunnies, marshmallow filled bunnies, and other Easter bunny candy.
- In the old days pretzels were associated with Easter because the twists of the pretzel were thought to resemble arms crossing in prayer.
- The exchange of eggs for Easter dates back to a springtime custom older than Easter itself in which eggs were given as a symbol of rebirth in many cultures.
- The Easter egg roll on the White House lawn has been a tradition since 1878.
- After Halloween, Easter is the biggest candy consuming holiday.
Got a fun Easter food fact? Please share it with me, I'm dying to know more!

It was a clear, cold early May day on a familiarization trip to tourism sites on the southern Burin Peninsula, with John and myself the only men among the 30 or so aboard the bus. We were trying to find shelter from the wind, but it found us wherever we strayed. It was John's first visit, but I'd visited cousins here in the 1960s, had toured the area in the 1990s to update the Newfoundland and Labrador travel guide, and had been here for tournaments when my kids played soccer. I have roots here going back at least to a fellow named Richard Kirby who held letters of marque from the British admiralty during the American Revolution that granted him the right to take French and American ships, at gunpoint if necessary. It's the kind of assignment that probably required some previous experience.

"I love my office" grinned Ryan Young above the roar of the motor as we skipped over the small waves of Trout River Pond. "This southern part of Gros Morne National Park is undiscovered by many people and it is too bad since it is a spectacular area."
We were doing a new Ocean Quest boat tour (http://www.oceanquestadventures.com/services/tourist/gros-morne-national-park) that started on Trout River Pond, and we had to agree - Trout River Pond is amazing since it is surrounded by steep cliffs 550-600 meters high and it is 15 km long.

We think Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's new show "Newfoundland Vinyl" is a must see for those people who are interested in Newfoundland music from the 1960's, 70's and 80's. The backstory for the show is that Gros Morne Theatre Festival regulars "Ed and Ed" are throwing a musical fundraiser – for themselves! The music has a definite country flavour and includes hits made popular by A. Frank Willis, Roy Payne, Joan Morrissey, Harry Hibbs and Tom Cahill.

We are big fans of traditional Newfoundland music whether it be "I'se the Bye" or a song from the Northern Peninsula that we might never have previously heard. Neddy Norris Night is Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's popular musical night and it takes on a different flavour depending on who is the musical director that year.

The names Cathy Jones, Mary Walsh, Greg Malone and many of the original Codco crew are now synonymous with well known Newfoundland comedy. In 1973 they were just getting started in Toronto when they were distressed by the stereotypes that Ontarians felt applied to all Newfoundlanders. So they fought back with the play "Cod on a Stick" which pokes fun at Torontonians and Newfoundlanders alike.

We recently returned from a 1-night get away that saw us sampling great food and accommodations as well as hiking on one of our favourite trails in the southern part of Gros Morne National Park. Since Gros Morne Park is so large, many people opt to see just the north side or the south side with Bonne Bay acting as a geographical dividing line.

Theatre Newfoundland Labrador (TNL) is back in Cow Head and they are performing several new plays for the summer 2012 season. We recently saw "The Fly Fisher's Companion" and would recommend this play to anyone since although it deals with salmon fishing, its main theme is the changing face of friendship. The play follows Wes (played by Michael Chaisson) and Don (performed by John Dartt) as they gear up to go salmon fishing from a cabin they built together many years ago.

The two met while students at the University of Texas at Arlington when both pledged the same fraternity and were also both members of a dance performance company. It was an immediate case of "opposites attract" that has continued to this day. Brown's interests range from Sex and the City to jazzercize while Monreal's interests range from bad "B" action and horror films to boxing. They share a love for animals and especially dogs and cats, as well as for movies, game nights, traveling and live theater. They also love spoiling their eight nieces and nephews and their five "fur children" — four dogs and one cat. Brown is an interior designer and Monreal is a police officer.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 26/1/2013 (1670 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG — Winnipeg Jets coach Claude Noel was closely guarding whatever secrets there are to keep today about his lineup.
On the heels of Friday night's home-ice comeback for a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, Noel just wouldn't budge today after practice, asked about any possible personnel changes for Sunday night's home game against the New York Islanders (7 p.m. CT, TSNJets, TSN1290).
"It's hard to say," Noel said. "I thought we played pretty well. It's pretty hard to say if there will be much for lineup changes there."
Noel also sidestepped a question as to whether he'd give goalie Al Montoya his first start of the season against his old team on Sunday night.
"These are all things we're going to manage," was Noel's cryptic response.
Based on today's practice at the MTS Iceplex, it looks as if there will be no changes among skaters. Noel used the same four lines in many drills that he did in Friday's win, leaving it a good possibility that 19-year-old forward Mark Scheifele will watch his second game in a row.
The Jets may play Scheifele two more games before one of two things will happen — the first year of his contract would kick in or he'd be sent back to Barrie of the OHL.
Last season against the Islanders, the Jets were just 1-2-1. New York, which also missed the playoffs, won both games in Winnipeg.
A letdown Sunday is something the Jets would like to avoid.
"I think we'll just prepare for every opponent," Noel said. "We've been out for eight months, nine months and I think there's a lot of passion there to succeed in a short season. I think our guys are prepared to play this thing regardless of who the opponent is.
"The Islanders are 2-2 and they can hurt you. We'll be looking to play them and continue our emotional level."

Win It: Elizabeth Grant Hand & Foot Cream
Beloved by stars, this cream soothes and protects!
-PJ Gach
We're always looking for products that really and truly work. When it comes to our hands, which everyone sees and our feet, which take a beating, we need a product that delivers its promises. We've tried Elizabeth Grant Hand & Foot Cream ($20, elizabethgrant.com).
The cream works fast and absorbs into your skin in seconds. Since it contains camphor, it tingles-in a good way. It quickly softened our Hobbit-like feet. Our hands felt smoother. Don't just take our word for it. Celebs like Ashley Tisdale, True Blood's Anna Paquin, Lacey Chabert, The Closer's Kyra Sedgwick, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev and Hung's Anne Heche are also huge fans of the cream. We look at it this way; celebs get tons of products, all day, every day. If a bunch are falling in love with one and using it a lot, then it's got to be good.
