AN AIRMAN serving in Afghanistan saw his musical dreams come true when he performed a song for pop star Ed Sheeran as he entertained troops.
Oli Upton, 30, from Darwen, a gunner in the RAF, stunned singer/ songwriter Ed with a rousing rendition of the Oasis classic Don't Look Back In Anger, at Camp Bastion.
Sheeran was visiting the military base to perform a series of small shows to service personnel.
But former Moorland High School pupil Oli went one step further and produced a guitar to serenade the chart-topping musician.
Oli, currently on leave back in the UK with wife Amanda and step son Jacob, said: "Ed was visiting the towers we use as lookout posts to protect Camp Bastion's perimeter.
"The guitar was somebody else's and was thrust upon me at the last minute. I played first, then he played for us. It was amazing to see him perform. I'm a huge fan.
"At the end when he clapped, I thought 'this is like George Best applauding a Sunday league team'.
"In hindsight, I wish I had chosen a different song but, because it was so last minute, and I was a tad ner-vous, it was the only song I could remember.
"I was playing guitar to a world-famous musician, in the middle of a war zone. I've got to say that's pretty cool.
"I was in a band as a kid. I learnt guitar at 14, but now I only play to family and friends. Our band was called Imajica, and we played Darwen Live when we were 15."
For Oli, the meeting was a real tonic after a difficult time. He was injured during a rocket-propelled grenade attack in Afghanistan, in 2012.
He said: "This time I only went out to Afghanistan from February until May. I joined the rest of the squadron out there late recov-ering from injuries suffered on my last tour.
"I suffered fragmentation wounds to my left arm and right leg from an RPG in September 2012, the night Camp Bastion was attacked."

Growing up in Maine, April and May meant only one thing to us. A bounty of wildly foraged fiddleheads, cooked up by my grandfather on his pot belly stove, out in his garden shed…
Fiddleheads are actually the smooth unfurled heads of the ostrich fern (edible plants, anyone?); they're encased in brown, papery husks and found growing along streams and creeks in certain, temperate states.
My granddad would handle the laborious cleaning duties, which involve removing the ornery brown chaff and snipping off the ends (a la asparagus) before cooking.
Unlike your neurotic friends, the more tightly wound fiddleheads are, the better your experience will be (in terms of tenderness). In a class by themselves, fiddleheads have an al dente crunch similar to asparagus with alternate moments of sweetness and bitterness that evoke mustard greens. Fiddlehead flavor errs on the side of an earthy savoriness with a fresh bite that lends itself well to boiling, sautéing, tossing with pasta or even stir frying.
The strong flavor of the plant goes well with savory elements that serve to balance like bacon, Parmesan cheese or soy sauce. Nuanced add-in's aside, I prefer my fiddleheads nearly naked.
Once fork-tender from steaming, I love to eat them with a simple balsamic drizzle or dipped in straight apple cider vinegar. However, when my Uncle John buys heaping bags of fiddleheads from local foragers / purveyors, it's time to consider additional options of pickling, freezing or marinating for cold salads — anything I can do to extend my fiddlehead fever beyond its short season.
Do they taste better to me because they're hard to find or serve as a clear bite back to my childhood? Hard to say, but I hate to miss a single season.
If you can find the elusive fiddlehead, check out some Laura Calder's quick and easy Fiddlehead and Saffron Soup or get more recipes from the Portland Press Herald.
Do you have fiddlehead fever? What's your preferred prep?

Make Your Own Biscuitsby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Recipes, November 19, 2011
Store-bought biscuit dough is full of hydrogenated oils (a.k.a. trans fats) but homemade biscuit recipes call for large servings of shortening or butter. We aren't revolutionizing the biscuit, just making them in a more portion-conscious way.
Better Biscuits
Most recipe yields are for 8 to 10 pieces, which means a 300-plus calorie bread to go along with your meal. Below is a traditional biscuit recipe portioned out to keep the calories in check.
Buttermilk Biscuits
Makes 30 small or 15 medium biscuits (see note*)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, cold, cut into small chunks
2/3 to ¾ cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F. In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Add butter and incorporate using a fork or a pastry cutter until the butter is in small pieces (about the size of peas). Gently mix in buttermilk to form a loose and slightly messy dough. Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and gently work into a ball. Roll out to ¾-inch thickness (try to handle the dough as little as possible to keep the butter cold). Cut out biscuits and transfer to a baking sheet. Bake at 350-degrees F for 13 to 18 minutes, turning the sheet once during baking until biscuits are puffed and slightly golden. Serve warm. Store cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
*For small biscuits use a 2 ½–inch round cutter or a 3 ½-inch cutter for medium sized

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- An art museum in Ohio is handing over an ancient water jug to the Italian government after investigators determined that it was likely dug up from Italy years ago.
Toledo Museum of Art officials on Tuesday officially turned over the 2,500-year-old water jug that the museum bought thirty years ago from antiquities dealers out of Switzerland.
Authorities believe the artifact was probably illegally excavated in Italy, smuggled to Switzerland and given a forged record of ownership.
U.S. Immigration and Customs investigators say it was part of a larger scheme by the art dealers to sell items obtained illegally.
The museum agreed in June to give back the 20-inch-tall vessel following a federal investigation that began in 2010.

I live for a night like this. It is a perfectly warm and still after an evening rain, there was a beautiful sunset and a magnificent full moon, we are on a gorgeous island in the Celebus Sea. How can this be my last night in the wilds of Borneo? Visiting Mabul Island has been the cherry on top of an expedition that went beyond my greatest expectations. Today, we got to truly witness the wonders of the oceans. Some of us went scuba diving, but most of us snorkeled in the reefs and outer islands around Mabul. It is no-wonder this area around Sipidan Island is rated as a world-class dive site.
Some of the group had never seen such underwater wonders and it was a joy to witness the reactions, such as "I'm in a fish tank! " and "how can this be real?". Indeed, there were fish of every color, shape and size, like cigar fish that seemed to stand on their tails, bobbing up and down as they moved, parrott fish who you could hear munching on their lunches, lion fish and harlequin sweetlip fish, peacock rabbit fish and even a ray. You cannot help but respect the ocean after you have seen the wild beauty of a coral reef world.
I am so happy that Intrepid Travel, our travel company, chose Scuba Junkie' Mabul Beach Resort as our place to stay, because on top of the beauty of the habitat, we got to learn about their excellent conservation work. Roan, their conservation manager, gave us an impromptu presentation on the challenges facing sharks due to shark finning and all that they are doing to help with Project AWARE.
We were so inspired, that late this afternoon we spent a few hours combing the beach for garbage. The island is challenged by this issue due to garbage washing in from the open sea, and to the many nomadic people who are currently living on the island. Scuba Junkie is working with them to do better when it comes to throwing away garbage – and it made me think of the challenges on my own street in Oakland, California – not so very different. Joining them in their beach clean-up efforts felt great.
It is late and most of the group has lumbered off to bed. We spent the night in joyful competition with other divers in a trivia night that raised funds for the victims of the typhoon (we did not win). We also gave toasts to a wonderful expedition. Toasts were made to the rain, to the orangutans, to the sun bears, to the leeches, to the ocean, to the forest, to our incredible luck at viewing wildlife, to the flying squirrels, to the inspiring people and to the feeling of having been part of something that only happens once in a lifetime. I toasted to Oakland Zoo, for employing me to help wildlife in Borneo and around the world and for allowing me to give others the gift of experiencing the wildlife first hand. It's been another deep dive conservation expedition that changes lives.

Chris Yonkman '97
Spring 2010 TRINITY Magazine, Career and Calling
Chris Yonkman '97
Major: History and philosophy
Title: International trade specialist
Chris Yonkman '97 first became interested in working for the federal government while attending Trinity. Yonkman, a history and philosophy major met with history professor Dr. Bob Rice to seek advice about possible career paths. The professor suggested work with the federal government.
Yonkman said that conversation, as well as reading an alumni update from Aaron Tambrini '97 (who was then working for the Immigration and Naturalization Service) laid the groundwork for his eventual career with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). "I believe God was working through these experiences and calling me to service in the federal government," he said.
Yonkman received a master's degree in history from Purdue University, and today he is an international trade specialist with CBP, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this position, he is responsible for targeting of imported shipments and analysis of import data in order to protect the American consumer and the economy against illicit trade practices.
His job further entails analyzing import trends, targeting high risk shipments, and prescribing the appropriate action to ensure that the proper duties are collected, that imported merchandise is properly appraised, and that all statutory and regulatory requirements have been met.
For students who may be interested in federal employment, Yonkman advises being persistent with the job application process and notes that it is a profession "somewhat immune" to the effects of a faltering economy.
"The job security associated with federal employment is truly one of its greatest benefits," said Yonkman. "Unfortunately, some people perceive government workers as having a charmed life when it comes to their work environment. I think it's important for Christians working in government to help dispel that perception by setting a good example through diligence and hard work."

Did you know?
The Pretoria Art Museum's collection was housed in the City Hall from 1930 until 1964.
The Pretoria Art Museum focuses on showcasing exceptional local art. Its permanent collection includes works by such legendary South African artists such as Pieter Wenning, Henk Pierneef, Frans Oerder, Anton van Wouw and Gerard Sekoto.
This art gallery's permanent collection also contains works from the Lady Michaelis Collection, international graphic art, 17th century Dutch paintings and pieces by artists such as Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Kathe Kollwitz and Salvador Dali.
The Pretoria Art Museum was established to house the City Council's growing art collection, which had been built up since the early 1930s. Its current building was constructed in the early 1960s.
From the start, this Pretoria museum took a strategic decision to concentrate on establishing a representative collection of local art and today, its permanent collection represents a comprehensive historical record of South African art.
Highlights from the gallery's permanent collection include several works by Walter Battiss, township street scenes by Gerard Sekoto and one of the biggest collections of Henk Pierneef's work, including paintings, drawings and graphic work such as woodcuts, linocuts and etchings. Among these are 18 paintings of early Pretoria that are an important part of the collection. The Pretoria Art Museum also has a number of post-impressionist and expressionist works by Maggie Laubscher and Irma Stern.
Today, the Pretoria Art Museum focuses on collecting urban and rural art that includes paintings, sculpture, graphics, tapestries, photographic prints and ceramics.

Hi all, I'm working on a layout that needs to have an image in the top left hand corner of the  and then paragraph text start immediately below it (i.e. the text shouldn't flow around the image). I've tried the following:

Text here

The image is aligning just as I'd like it, but the text is flowing around the image. I thought display:block would fix this, so have I misapplied it or was I mislead?
try using a clearfix instead.
One simple way to test it out is to include p { clear: both}
Thanks @Zell Liew - that seems to have worked in the web browser. I'm writing this code for an html email so we'll see how it performs in tests; I know that floats aren't recognised in many email browsers so it'll be interesting to see if your suggestion remains robust!
I wonder whether I'll need to pull the image into its own
 if the clear: both doesn't work, would that be your next port of call?
Ah. I didn't know you're working with email layouts.
I'll go for a
 straight since I think thats the best course of action
Yeah, I should have specified blush
Thanks for confirming my thoughts!
Happy to help
An [unrelated] FYI about the code snippit...
In your HTML, you have misapplied "px" to the height and width attributes. These attrrbutes should not have units of measure specified. Pixels are assumed.
<img src="image.png" alt="" title="" width="180px" height="42px" align="left" style="padding-bottom:10px; display:block;">
Delete the align="left" attribute from the image. It is a deprecated img attribute. That is the culprit that is causing the problem with the
 alignment.
A
 cannot contain an image. It defines a table-row. Images can be applied to a table or a table-cell, but not a table-row. Very few attributes can be assigned to a table-row. I assume you guys were talking about applying the image in a  in a separate row.
As Ron said the align="left" is much the same as float:left so declaring display:block will make no difference as floats are block elements anyway. Remove the align="left" and set the image to display:block and the text will start underneath.
That's true but for the purposes of html email it is the preferred method as floats don't work in many email clients whereas align= does.:)
I was just coming to the realization that align="left" would be effective in a table cell whereas float:left would likely not. So, even if deprecated, it still has potential.
Thanks, Paul.
Yes, you're quite right - I was being lazy in my specification but I can assure you there is a  within my

While I agree that usually px are assumed, I've noticed that Outlook doesn't always recognise this so I cross my 'T's and dot my 'i's when it comes to HTML email.
At the time I was writing this code, I was using 'align=left' as everything else in that  (including the ) was set to align to the centre/center. As it is, moving the image to a separate row has fixed the issue, but are you saying that setting an alignment is what made the display:block not work in the first place?
(thanks for your help, I'm still very much a beginner)
It's not quite as simple as saying that  caused the problem with the text, because additional code could have changed that behavior. But based only on the given information, yes, the float (align="left") caused the text to flow to the right of the image. As Paul pointed out, though, align="" works in tables where floats may not. Fun stuff.
Fun stuff indeed! I think I'm a bit clearer on it now, thanks for your help @ronpat

Alternative Denver, thanks
Lowest Rated
I wish authors of this good product to correct some errors and therefore make it yet better: 1. The interface font is too small for people with not perfect sight. 2. Though my Desktop uses enlarged font setting, here it seems doesn't help. 3. There's no options to enlarge font in this program. 4. The window of entering password for MySQL server - at the very beginning of usage of this program - cuts off the lower string - where the password must be entered. So it's unusable. Maybe because the window heading bar has height more than standard due to enlarged system font. 5. Both my e-mails are not accepted by http://uniformserver.com forum board, so I can't register and give a feedback there. I would attach a screenshot. Still, a good idea, and I hope could use this program soon!

Mercedes doesn't lower their price to compete with Kia. It's a better product which offers a lot more. It should be higher priced. That being said a giant 7.5 inch iPod Touch would be all then need to extinguish the Kindle Fire
In my opinion, the sales of the Kindle Fire have been driven purely by price point. Many consumers who bought the Kindle have no idea of the differences between the Fire & the iPad, they just know it cost half as much and it has colorful display. Must be the same for less... right?
Redstar made an analogy about Mercedes Benz & Kia which I agree with. Once I owned my first Mercedes I understood why people pay the higher price they command. This applies to Apple products also.
Nice pic. Looks like the iPad is in the background looking away in shame, maybe crying.
But seriously, the phrase has been thrown around so much that it's lost all meaning, but the sales numbers do prove that we finally have a real iPad competitor. Which is a good thing, but the iPad will still be a runaway success for a while. The thing that really kicked off Android sales was carrier-subsidized phones with crazy BOGO and penny phones deals. They can't really pull the same stunt with the tablets. Also, Apple's not fighting a carrier limitation this time either.
I still think Android will get a good foothold eventually, but it's going to take a long time. The Fire is so modded I don't really consider it a proper Android tablet, but it's popularity and ability to use android apps should eventually have a ripple effect on proper Android tablets.
Yea the iPad 2 does way more than the Fire. But the Fire is targeted for a certain consumer market. There is no need for Apple to lower prices.. but they might come out with a smaller more affordable iPad
Who really cares. Apple and Amazon provide 2 different products. iPad for the "advanced" and Kindle Fire for people which don't need a tablet to do a billion things, when only a handful are needed and practical.
I have an iPhone and I now have a Fire and I love the Fire. I already have a laptop and iPad make zero sense to me. I'm not even remotely interested in an iPad and never will be.
A Fire is great since its a bridge between a smart phone and a laptop. And it's actually quite intuitive, fast, easy to use and the content is amazing and then toss Prime membership in-and it's clearly easy to see why so many bought one. The reviews are just as good from Fire owners as with iPad owners. And Apple shouldn't lower the costs for their iPads since again-two different things.
Just my opinion and I'm not out to stir the pot.
I bought 3 Kindle Fire's for Christmas gifts for my wife and kids this year. I figured I could be a Christmas hero and buy Kindle Fires for everybody or be that selfish guy and blow it all on a single iPad for myself. Easy decision....price matters and the iPad's price is bloated and its showing. They will have to come down on the price to compete and that's great for us as consumers. Healthy competition and choice is a good thing.
here's something for you to gnaw on. Apple To Target Mid-Range Segment With A New $299 iPad [REPORT] | Redmond Pie
the bottom line is that apple has lost out big time to the success of Android and nowt that Android tablets have entered the market apple will definitely loose sales. they have to do something.
Actually picked a Nook tablet over both of them. Flash is a big deal for me since I stream a lot of videos from various sites and I can't stand the mobile versions. Second, the I absolutely need the ability to expand my memory, and finally its made very well. There's very little lag within the input or watching videos, but it's still not as smooth as the ipad. Great deal fir $250,
Apple will have to do something, 1 to 2 million is just start. Anyhow competition is good for comsumer, more choice for everyone.
I buy mostly Apple products except for work which in my field (medical equipment sales is still all windows). With that being said I got my wife the Kindle Fire for Christmas. I expected it to be 40% the experience of the iPad since that was the price difference for my iPad. I have to say the Fire is far better then that. I actually played with it for a few days and loved it. It was pretty snappy loading Apps and the Amazon cloud works fine. Uploaded iTunes music to it very easily. For all the big deal Apple is making about the cloud the Amazon cloud worked flawlessly for me.
Not gonna get rid of my Apple products any time soon. But what you have to ask yourself is are you getting 2 to 3 times a better experience for the price you are paying. And for some this will be the camera and FaceTime and a few other features that I just don't use.
Anyway this will make Apple step it up on the iPad 3 or even the IOS 5.XX version of software. Quite honestly if the iPad had never crossed my path, I would not be unhappy with the Fire.

Starstream - Thursday, September 16, 2004 - linkWell, I currently have an MSI board and, frankly, I would have to really have my arm twisted before I bought another. Zillions of issues with their support and documentation. I don't know...this is impressive. The "cross mount" memory slots are an interesting twist. Reply
ksherman - Sunday, August 22, 2004 - linkthis is probably a dump question, but here goes:
since the 3200 OCs to the level of the 3800, does that mean i am essentially (if i can reach those speeds of course) getting a 3800 in term of performance? the 3800 are clocked at 2.4GHz, and the only real difference in the processors is the clock speed correct? so a $600+ card for around $200+ seemd like a good deal to me...

l3ored - Saturday, May 01, 2004 - linki'd really like to know weather the 300fsb outperformed the max oc, then i can make memory purchase decisions, perhaps a follow up review is in order? Reply
MadAd - Wednesday, April 28, 2004 - linkRaid Questions: a) I run a fasttrack tx2000 with 4 IDE drives and am wondering would I be able to use the 2 IDE channels for raid 0+1 and get a SATA to IDE converter to run an optical drive or two?
b) The last raid review at AT was Jun 2001. With new provison for raid in nf250 plus older high end boards offering variations of highpoint and promise on board plus sata raid vs ide becoming a factor, wouldnt this be a good time for another one? Reply
AtaStrumf - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - linkSame as ATi X800Pro. Well, well don't we have a lot of 8's on the 6th. Too bad I got an exam on that very same day. Hope I get an 8 as well :) Reply

Several nF3-250 boards are expected at Anandtech in the next couple of weeks. They are starting to show up from many manufacturers.
Also, VIA's update to the K8T800 Pro will launch on May 6. Reply
hifisoftware - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - linkVery, very nice review.
OC bench would not hurt, but otherwise OC is very well covered.
I belive RAID was covered in the chipset review.
One thing that I would've really liked is to know when other mobos are coming out. It would seem that even without overclocking this chipset should not be slower then previous. So maybe another motherboard is gogin to be a bit faster.
mikeymasta - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - linkAlso how 'real' is the hardware raid on the nforce3?
I mean can I setup a simple 2 hd based mirror raid have install FreeBSD 5.2.1 and expect it to see only 1 drive like 'true' hardware based raid or is this just software based crap that boil down to just extra IDE ports that only do so called 'raid' by software drivers?
Personally if I was in charge of making standards I would make rule #1 of the standard of raid being that you cant put the word 'raid' on your software product unless its true hardware based raid!
Bit like the true standard of PC133 ram where it couldn't be classed as 'PC133' memory unless it had a clearly printed label on it with letters 'PC133' for a start, (I remember anand pointing that out a long time ago)
AtaStrumf - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - linkYep, we want OC benchies! Reply
kmmatney - Tuesday, April 27, 2004 - linkAhhhhhh! A long spiel about how great the board is at overclocking....and then no overlocked benchmarks!! I want to see how much gain you get! How about a single game and encoding benchmark? Reply
Pumpkinierre - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkI agree with #10, Wesley, you should include at least one synthetic with your overclocking tests because you have'nt done any good overclocking/high FSB tests on a64s as you havent had a mobo with good PCI/AGP lock or >250 FSB til now. It makes me wonder why because you are thorough with the p4/i875 and by your own admission the gigabyte and shuttle nF3-150 have PCI/AGP locks and ClockGen adjusts the FSB. The location of the a64 memory controller ondie means the memory sync/async tests results from intel systems cant be translated to the a64 ones. So, in my opinion, for conservative a64 overclockers, benchmark results at the same cpu speed but different FSB (clockspeed) sync or async and HT alteration would be of good use. I know you are just seeing the limits etc. but you must be running stability tests so it costs you nothing in time to throw in the sandra or Memtest86 bandwidths or even 3DMark2001/2003 results.
And I agree there is merit in running cool and quiet with overclocked systems(if possible) as the windows software overclockers are still not perfect and only available on some brands. Reply
Jeff7181 - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkWesley,
It may not really fit in with a motherboard review, but seeing as how it seems overclocks on the nF3 150 and KT800 chipsets have been limited by the motherboard, it makes sense to test the overclocked performance to see if it's worth paying for a motherboard with lower performance at stock speeds that might provide a lot better performance once overclocked. For example, if the nF3 250 can only match KT800 performance after overclocking, it makes the choice much more clear. Reply
cnq - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkWesley,
Thanks for the quick response. Glad to hear you are considering mixing manual overclocking with cool'n'quiet in future tests.
You mention that "I am not convinced that it matters to most overclockers". I think that's just because c'n'q' is fairly new. If you tell them that c'n'q is just the thing to help prolong the life of their overworked system, they'll start paying attention. Only those who run 100% cpu utilization 24/7/365 won't care.
For the rest of us, mixing Cool'n'Quiet with overclocking makes perfect sense (throttle back the cpu when just web browsing; crank it up to overclocked when you need a burst of bower, which in my case is compiling. Note that I'm not counting MSI's CoreCell auto-overclocking because it's not powerful enough...)
I'd also claim that Cool'n'Quiet is *doubly* useful in a heavily overclocked system. Such systems are often on the ragged edge of overheating, and thus could benefit more than anyone from throttling at times of light or moderate load.
Naturally, when the load jumps back up, we'd want the fully overclocked manual settings to automatically kick back in. And that's the rub. Will that part work?
Has anyone tried running Cool'n'Quiet on a manually overclocked A64? Does it (a) work perfectly, (b) crash, (c) not crash but "forgets" your overclock settings, (d) other? I'm guessing it will crash, esp. if manual overclock settings included changing the CPU voltage or raising the HTT while lowering the CPU multiplier. Hoping to hear I'm wrong (for at least one A64 board) before making purchase...
Schnieds - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkDo you have any idea when this motherboard will be available for purchase in retail outlets? From the review it sounds like this board is a release version and ready for retail, but no one seems to know when it will actually be available for purchase... Thanks for the great review. Reply
Wesley Fink - Monday, April 26, 2004 - link#7 - nForce3 chipsets automatically control Bank Interleave and Command Rate - there are no manual options. Some VIA chipsets do allow interleave and command rate settings. We always specify the setting we used in the review - if those settings are available. If they are not an available option we state NA for Not Available in our Memory Stress Testing tables. We also always enable interleave if it is an option.
#8 - I added Cool'n'Quiet to the Feature list at your suggestion. Most overclockers turn off auto features for overclocking, because frankly I can always out-tweak Auto settings on OC. I will consider doing more with Cool'n'Quiet in overclocking, but I am not convinced it matters much to most overclockers.
#9 - Corrected. Not to be defensive, but if you want to see how much AnandTech found with this board that other sites missed, read through K8N Neo reviews that others have posted.
#10 - What would it take to make you happy on OC results in board reviews? I have explored 1:1 vs aynch in memory reviews. Performance results at a full-range of OC and timings are always a part of memory reviews. What would you like to see in motherboard reviews? Reply
Jeff7181 - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkNo overclocked comparisons? Awwww man... questions still unanswered... Reply
KillaKilla - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkHow well did the Albatron GeForce FX5950U work with those ATI Catalyst 4.4 drivers?
Not to be sarcastic, but simply alerting those who can correct this to the typo. Reply
cnq - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkWesley,
You mentioned that you disabled Cool'n'Quiet to prevent possible interference with overclocking.
I wonder if it's even worse than "interference": is it even *possible* to run Cool'n'Quiet on a heavily overclocked system? (especially one with aggressive overclocking: significantly raised HTT with lowered CPU multiplier).
This is one of those things that should be a FAQ, yet no one seems to have tried. Cool'n'Quiet is the perfect complement to an aggressively overclocked system: prolonging its lifespan by giving it a "breather" when just (e.g.) web browsing. But are Cool'n'Quiet and overclocking compatible?
(Pls refer to my same question in your Aopen AK89 Max review for specific technical reasons why I think c'n'q and aggressive overclocking may not be compatible. I hope I'm wrong.)
Myrandex - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkMy K8T Neo supports cool and quiet completely, and toms hardware confirms this too with an older A64 mobo roundup. Looks like a hell of a board, but I am wondering why so many reviews at Atech are run w/ Bank interleave set to disabled. I remember back in the K6/2 days, this was a major bios tweak for memory. Does it not matter, or negatively effect performance now?
Jason Reply
Wesley Fink - Monday, April 26, 2004 - link#1 - This is the same CPU that has not been able to run 3 dimms in the past. Stepping is AP. I was also surprised 3 dimms worked at DDR400.
#3 - MSI states that the K8N Neo Platinum fully supports Cool'n'Quiet. We did enable it and it does appear to be working. We ended up disabling Cool'n'Quiet for our overclocking tests to prevent any possible interference from this feature.
#4 - We will be changing standard test memory in the near future. Since so many tests have been done with the Mushkin/OCZ 3500, we continue using them so results can be compared to previous performance tests. We have also not yet determined which memory we will test with in the future. Reply
NFS4 - Monday, April 26, 2004 - link#3, my Asrock K8S8X fully supports Quiet-n-Cool on my A64 3200+ It idles at 800MHz, then switches from 1800MHz and then to 2000MHz depending on load. But I'd say that 90% of the time doing normal desktop work, it's at 800MHz. The only time I see it spike up is when I start a game or when I do something really CPU intensive.
But remember, in order to get it to work, you have to have it enabled in BIOS and download the CPU driver from AMD's website and set your power management in Windows to "Minimal Power Management" Reply

mikeymasta - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkTheres been a lot of talk that no motherboard maker/chipset maker fully supports AMDs cool and quiet...

mechBgon - Monday, April 26, 2004 - linkVery interesting that this setup can run three double-sided DIMMs at DDR400 speeds. What stepping is the test system's CPU, if I may ask? Is it the same CPU that was not succeeding at running three DDR400 DIMMs stable on other boards/chipsets? Reply

PHILADELPHIA – Although it has won all 10 meetings in this series, the University of Pennsylvania men's lacrosse team has had trouble with its city rival Saint Joseph's the last few years. Of particular note, the Hawks stuck around all the way until the finish last year at Franklin Field before the host Quakers could breathe a sigh of relief after a one-goal victory.
On Tuesday night, again at Franklin Field, Penn and Saint Joseph's looked like they might engage in another battle royale. That is, until the second quarter when the 20th-ranked Quakers flexed their muscles.
After allowing three goals in the first quarter-- all of them to Ryan McGee-- Penn's defense absolutely shut down the Hawks, holding them scoreless for 37:33 of game time before finally allowing one final goal on the night.
At the other end, the momentum was more gradual but it was sustaining. Penn scored three times in the first two periods, then four times in the last two, and had 12 different players tickle the twine on the night.
It all added up to a solid, 14-4 decision.
Penn is now 1-1 on the young season, while Saint Joseph's fell to 1-2.
It took Penn all of six seconds to open the scoring onits home field this season, as Danny Feeney cleanly won the opening faceoff and went down to score unassisted. For the game, the Quakers were 15-of-22 on the faceoffs, as Feeney was aided on the X by Joe McCallion and Austin Kreinz.
McGee got that goal back for SJU less than two minutes later, but one minute after that McCallion scored unassisted to make it 2-1. McGee again tied things, this time a mere 24 seconds later off a Mike Dougherty feed, and then things settled down before Chris Moriarty finished a Zack Losco feed with 4:42 left in the first quarter.
McGee's third goal of the game came with 1:11 left in the period, and made things level entering the second quarter.
It took Penn 19 seconds in the period to gain a lead it wouldn't relinquish, Pat Berkery finishing a feed from Isaac Bock. Two minutes later, Bock got on the board and he netted a pass from Nick Doktor, and then midway through the period Drew Belinsky made it 6-3 with an unassisted goal.
The next goal didn't come until nearly five minutes were gone in the third quarter, but it was Doktor who ended the drought off a feed from Chris Hupfeldt. Bock scored his second shortly after that, off a Losco feed, and then Kevin Brown (unassisted) and long-stick middie Alex Blonsky (off a McCallion feed) scored just nine seconds apart. The third period ended with the Quakers ahead 10-3.
Penn scored two within a 32-second span near the start of the fourth, McCallion and then Losco going unassisted, before Dougherty finally ended SJU's scoring skid with 7:38 left in the game (McGee assisting). Penn's reserves got their chance late and made the most of it, Jeff Sestilio and Will Laco scoring in the game's final 1:08.
Brian Feeney had a performance similar to Saturday at Duke; after making just one save and allowing the three first-period goals, he had eight stops the rest of the way and allowed just the one goal. At the other end, Dustin Keen had five saves in the first quarter before the Quakers figured him out. He eventually gave way to T.J. Jones.
Penn is home again on Saturday, hosting No. 6 Denver at 1 p.m. at Franklin Field.

Thousands await invitation to Gator Nation; about 200 got early peek
Published: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 5:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 5:48 p.m.
Although all freshman applicants to the University of Florida will find out tonight whether they have been accepted to the Gator Nation, about 200 got a glimpse at their admission status due to a computer glitch Wednesday night.
Admission data is loaded to the website and kept "masked" until the big reveal tonight, according to UF spokeswoman Janine Sikes.
"During our preparatory work, somehow the data became unmasked," she said. The problem came to UF officials' attention at about 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Sikes said officials shut down the system soon after as information technology staff worked on the problem.
About 200 UF hopefuls saw a decision, but Sikes emphasized that no decision is final until 6 p.m. when UF is scheduled to release admittance decisions through the school website.
Around 29,000 people apply each year, according to a UF press release. The university admits about 11,000 to fill 6,400 freshman spots.
This will also be the second year that UF will admit students for its Innovation Academy, a program that promotes student entrepreneurship, creation and leadership. The inaugural Innovation Academy class was made up of 334 freshmen who began taking classes in this current spring semester.
Sikes said the fact that applicants were checking two days early shows how excited students are to come to UF.
"I think it just demonstrates how much excitement builds around decision-making time," she said.

MEET the latest cute new addition to Flamingo Land.
The little camel calf - which has not yet been named - is the daughter of theme park favourites, Abi and Baxter, and was born a week ago today.
A spokesman for the Ryedale park said: "This is Abi's second calf and she is looking after it very well. Abi was hand reared but she still has a motherly instinct to make sure the calf is protected and suckling from her.
"The calf's dad, Baxter, is living within the same camel house along with the rest of our camels, although they are being kept separate from Abi and her calf for a few days to give them a bit of privacy."
The two-humped Bactrian camels originate in the Gobi desert in Asia.
Despite there being numerous domesticated camels, the Bactrian camel population is less than 1000, with around 600 individuals in China and 350 in Mongolia.
Unfortunately the population numbers are decreasing due to several threats.
Female camels only give birth around every two years, and they are pregnant for between 12 and 14 months.

out with ElijahFirst spot of the day was this bank to curb. Then we checked out this thing. Next spot was Crawford. Met up with some kids Elijah's age and skated with them. Elijah's boardslide... The other kids boardslide attempt. He'll get it eventually though. I don't doubt that. We moved onto the bigger rail. Drew Dezort followed Elijah's back lip with a lipslide of his own and we were out. On to bigger and better things. Like this. We opted to skate the small hubba instead. Elijah stepped it up a bit and hit it from the top. Chris followed it with a wallride off this ledge. Luckily I was there to capture it fish eye also. The day was a wrap...

Finally got around to breaking in my sausage stuffer I got for Christmas. Its the 5lb LEM one. Works so much better than using the grinder as a stuffer.
Mrs. G wanted jalapeno cheese sausage and who am I to argue? Started with 2.31 lbs of venison, 2.49 lbs of pork shoulder and .62 lbs of back fat.
No pictures of it being ground or stuffed. Kinda messy and didn't want to stop and wash my hands.Started it at 12 pm at 145 (higher than I wanted)
Three hours in
Done in 4.5 hours
Ice bath to stop the cooking
Grilled up a link Sunday to try
Mrs. G loved it. Said it was our best one yet. I was pleased with it, but think I will tweak a few things next time. Plenty juicy, good snap to the casing and nice flavor, but not enough heat. Also gonna try high temp cheese next time. Other wise, I'd call it a success and we have 4 more pounds of it in the freezer.

Corn futures rose Thursday morning despite disappointing results on the weekly Export Sales report. Both old and new crop sales at 71,600 and 274,700 tonnes, respectively, fell well short of industry expectations. Strength spilling over from the soybean and wheat markets probably supported the yellow grain, as did the persistent tightness of old crop supplies. May corn gained 3.75 cents to $6.4325/bushel just before lunchtime Thursday, while December rose 1.0 cent to $5.29.
Tight spot markets and strong basis levels reportedly sent soybean futures higher Thursday morning. The Export Sales data seemed likely to undercut nearby futures and support new crop prices, but it had little noticeable impact later in the morning. Ideas that improving weather will not force additional Corn Belt acreage into beans may also be supporting the Chicago market. Asian palm oil gains may also be translating into soy complex strength through the oil pit. May soybeans surged 14.5 cents to $14.185/bushel late Thursday morning, while May soyoil climbed 0.45 cents to 49.63 cents/pound, and May soybean meal added $6.4 to $412.3/ton.
The wheat market finally seemed to catch on to the idea that recent frosts have seriously damaged production prospects for the U.S. winter wheat crop, since the Kansas City market led the other markets sharply higher Thursday morning. Actually, the gains were probably exaggerated by the fact that the nearby contracts were decisively breaking out above stiff chart resistance associated with their respective 40-day moving averages. May CBOT wheat futures jumped 10.25 cents to $7.02/bushel around midsession Thursday, while May KCBT wheat soared 22.75 cents to $7.6175 and May MGE futures leapt 15.0 cents to $8.3275.
Cattle futures surged yesterday in apparent anticipation of cash and wholesale strength later this week. However, the Wednesday afternoon report concerning beef cutout showed a minimal rise in choice cutout (although the select cuts rose significantly). The bulls are probably correct in their optimism, but futures seemingly have little upside potential until the expected cash strength is confirmed by events. That may explain the slippage experienced Thursday morning. June cattle edged 0.02 cents lower to 121.05 cents/pound just before the lunch hour Thursday, while December added 0.05 cents to 127.52. May feeder cattle futures slid 0.12 cents to 140.97 cents/pound, whereas August rose 0.10 cents to 150.72.
The hog market seemed to follow through upon its Wednesday surge Thursday morning. A portion of that strength probably stems from the fact that most-active June futures overcame resistance associated with its 40 and 50-day moving averages yesterday, but bulls could also point to indications of morning strength from the direct Corn Belt markets. The industry is rather obviously expecting a substantial seasonal rally during the days and weeks ahead. May hog futures climbed 0.35 cents to 88.95 cents/pound around midday Thursday, while the June contract surged 0.62 cents to 91.62.

Scherzer fans 11 Angels for 12th victory
Kinsler, Castellanos drive in two as Tigers get to Richards
ANAHEIM -- Max Scherzer is back at the point where he can dismiss the importance of win totals as an indicator of how well a pitcher is performing. He did so plenty of times last season.
This, however, was a fairly big win, and not just for him.
"When I falter a bit, they come back and pick me up," Scherzer said after Thursday's 6-4 Tigers victory over the Angels moved him back into a tie for the Major League lead in victories. "That's what makes our team so good. We have each others' backs. Tonight, I got picked up big time by our offense."
Scherzer (12-3) led the league in run support last year, but he didn't need it because he pitched so dominantly on his way to the American League Cy Young Award. His roll over the past month or so hasn't left him needing much help at all.
As Scherzer walked off the mound at the end of the fifth, wiping the sweat from his face onto his sleeve after a 30-pitch inning, he needed whatever help his hitters could offer.
It wasn't physical. He loves pitching in hot weather because his arm is easy to get loose. He needed a rally to get back into the game against Garrett Richards, who has posted numbers very similar to Scherzer's but was left off the AL All-Star team earlier this month.
Both pitchers had a chance to join the group of 12-game winners Thursday, a group that includes Scherzer's teammate, Rick Porcello. For the first four-plus innings, they pair lived up to the billing. By game's end, the run totals made the pitchers' duel tough to recognize.
"When you know they got their best guy going on the other side, you're trying to match them pitch-for-pitch, inning-for-inning, run-for-run, whatever," Richards said. "Yeah, I was just trying to hang with him and give us a chance to win."
Then, just when the Angels seemed to solve Scherzer, the Tigers finally got to Richards. While Scherzer regrouped, Richards did not.
"That's why when I'm in that situation and I'm having to face Trout, Pujols and Hamilton, if I can just limit the damage, I have a shot," Scherzer said. "I know my guys can come back and win this game."
If teams rely on shutdown innings from their starters immediately after a big rally, this is the opposite. For Thursday, at least, it worked.
"Certainly it was a lot better scenario for us than a quick inning," manager Brad Ausmus said.
Not only did Scherzer retire the Angels in order the first time through the lineup, he didn't allow a ball out of the infield in the process, striking out four of his first nine batters. That included Mike Trout, who struck out again in the fifth to fall to 3-for-16 with 10 strikeouts off him.
Two singles broke his roll in the fourth, but it was a string of three consecutive singles in the fifth that put him in serious trouble. Before he could face that vaunted middle of the lineup, he had to worry about Kole Calhoun at the top of the order with runners at second and third and one out.
With a 1-2 count and a chance to take the sacrifice fly out of play, Scherzer tried to overpower Calhoun -- first with a 98 mph fastball, then at 97 mph.
"He fouled one off," Scherzer said, "and I thought he might be sitting soft in that situation after that, and I threw another softball about two inches off. And he fouled that one off."
He tried to come back with a curveball, but Calhoun got enough of that for a liner to right and a two-run single. With that, Scherzer gave up more runs that inning than he had allowed in any game since the 10-run rampage put up by the Royals on June 17.
Scherzer kept it from getting worse by striking out Josh Hamilton to strand two. It began him on a roll of seven consecutive outs to end his night, five by strikeout, one by Austin Jackson's leaping catch at the fence.
By the time Scherzer faced the second hitter in that string, he had the lead again. The Tigers put up four consecutive hits to lead off the top of the sixth. The last two were RBI doubles -- one from Torii Hunter to plate Miguel Cabrera, the other from Nick Castellanos to add two.
"We were aggressive off his fastball, and we swung at strikes that inning," Castellanos said.
The three-run sixth comprised more runs than Richards had allowed in his previous three starts combined. Two add-on runs against the Angels bullpen from there comprised the margin of victory.

Make 2011 Your Sexiest Year Yet!
Day 10: 7 Tips for Keeping It HOT
You may have found Mr. Right (or even Mr. Right Now) … but how do you keep things spicy now that the thrill of the chase is over?
-The Betty Editors
Welcome to Day 10 of your SEXIEST year ever! Click here to catch up on Day 9: Sex Up Your Wardrobe!
It's so easy to fall into a rut when you've been with the same person for a while. We asked sex therapist and founder of GoodInBed.com Ian Kerner for some advice on spicing it up in the new year and avoided the dreaded "roommate syndrome."
(And for those of you single girls, a lot of this advice applies to you too! But for some sexy tips on how to feel va-va voom whether you've got a honey or not, check out our complete list here!)
1. Have sex at least once a week.
Sounds obvious, but easier said than done. By some estimates, more than 40 million Americans are stuck in sexless marriages and there's truth to the phrase "use it or lose it" – people who go without sex for extended periods of time often develop a "dearth of drive" as natural testosterone levels lower. Sex is a little like exercise. Once we stop doing it, it's easy to get stuck in a slump, but once we get back on track, we remember how much we missed it. So my suggestion, "try it, you'll like it." It's easy to forget how much fun sex can be, and just doing it once a week will put you back in a regular groove. And if you need some ideas for spicing up your weekly rendez-vous, check out my new book, 52 Weeks of Amazing Sex.
2. Go for 20-second hugs.
All it takes is a 20-second hug to get the "cuddle hormone" oxytocin flowing in women and facilitate a sense of connection. Men need to be hugged three times as much as women to get to similar levels, so go for a full minute of hugging once a day. Non-sexual intimacy is for keeping "in touch" with your partner and laying the foundation for a healthy sex life.
3. Be more positive!
Studies show that the difference between those relationships that succeed and those that fail is the ability to have a high ratio of positive to negative interactions. It's actually believed that the ratio should be 5 to 1 — five positive interactions for every negative one. Now obviously, we can't go around counting our interactions, but we can intuit if we're largely in the positive or swinging toward the negative. To have a great sex life, you have to be in the sort of relationship that supports having a great sex life, so work on what's happening outside of the bedroom.
4. Keep it fresh.
After you've had sex with the same person at least a thousand times, it's easy to fall into a routine. There are two types of sexual arousal — mental and physical. In the beginning of a relationship, we have no shortage of sexy thoughts and feelings that turn us on and create a sense of sexual anticipation, but after a while the mental component can easily fade and we rely on physical stimulation. We know each other's bodies and we know how to get where we're going, but we don't know how to appreciate the journey anymore. That's when it becomes time to introduce some new routes and paths to pleasure.
5. Stay healthy.
A person's sexual health and overall health are intimately connected. Diet, stress, nutrition, exercise and medication all play a big role in sexual desire. If either you or your partner isn't taking care of your health, your sex life could quickly go in the dumps. Eat for your heart and you're eating for your libido. Don't just eat to live, eat to love. Exercise also increases metabolism, blood flow and the release of endorphins — all of nature's natural aphrodisiacs.
6. Share a fantasy or two.
Sigmund Freud gave fantasy a bad name back in 1908 when he said, "A happy person never fantasizes, only a dissatisfied one." But research shows that people with active fantasy lives are more sexually satisfied, more sexually responsive and more adventurous about sex in general. Not bad. Kaye Wellings, a respected British biologist, puts it best in her book First Love, First Sex: "Fantasies perform a valuable function. Most of us, most of the time, behave conservatively, sexually and otherwise. Our erotic experiences represent only the tip of the iceberg in terms of possibilities. Many possibilities only see the light of day through fantasies or dreams, seldom as reality."
7. Unplug.
What's the point of making all of these resolutions if we don't actually make the time to have sex? Sure it's easier said than done, what with careers and obligations filling our days and nights; but lately we seem to be winding down on respective laptops, so in 2011 turn off the technology, tune in … and hopefully turn on.
Tune in tomorrow for our next great tip … and catch up on the previous tips here!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/5/2013 (1551 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Life is good for Steve and Kathleen. They're both a few years into promising careers and a mortgage on a modest home. But life could always be a little better.
For one thing, the couple in their early 30s would like to upgrade to a larger home to some day start a family.
"We were looking around the $300,000-range," says Kathleen, who earns about $54,000 a year at a post-secondary institution.
Steve, who works in conservation, earns about $42,000 a year.
The couple owns a home worth $220,000, on which they owe $143,000.
Although they're confident they can afford the higher mortgage payments, they worry paying for a larger home will come at the expense of their long-term financial well being.
The couple have amassed a fair amount of savings already. Between them, they have $24,305 in RRSPs -- all in GICs -- and another $21,500 in a LIRA. They also have about $5,500 in a TFSA and about another $18,700 in a non-registered account invested in mutual funds. They have work pensions, but they know very little about them.
In a perfect world, Kathleen says they'd like to retire in their mid-50s, but they're concerned whether they'll have enough money to retire at all.
Steve and Kathleen know financial planning is a balancing act: satisfying the needs of today with those less concrete ones many years down the road. But they need a little bit of help.
"What should we be focusing on doing right now?"
Certified financial planner MaryAnn Kokan-Nyhof says Kathleen and Steve have one thing going for them -- time.
"Thirty years is a long way off for this couple," says the vice-president of a Winnipeg branch of Desjardins Financial Security Investments.
Time allows them to save today and take advantage of compounding annual returns to grow their money.
Yet time can be as much of a hindrance as it is an advantage without careful planning. Kathleen and Steve might get sidetracked. It's easy to spend today, thinking they can just save more later on for retirement. But planning far into the future is always challenging.
It's often difficult to set realistic goals, and not just for the long-term.
Short-term planning is also tricky because immediate goals affect present and future cash flows that in turn have an impact on plans that take decades to be realized. Governments and corporations wrestle with this issue, so it's certainly no small feat for a young couple.
Kokan-Nyhof says upgrading to a bigger home appears to be the priority financially right now, and there's no reason they can't pursue that goal. But caution is the name of the game. They need to know if the numbers really do work for them.
To start, they should pore over their budget. She says the couple appears to have a lot of free cash flow -- or at least money that is unaccounted for in their listed expenses.
"Their net pay cheques add up to $4,766 a month, but all their expenses only amount to $3,456, so where is the other $1,309 going?" she says. "If we assume that they actually are spending only half of that amount, maybe spent on frivolous stuff like lattes, dining out and a few drinks at the bar, then they have about $500 surplus a month that can go toward their goals."
The next step is evaluating their current mortgage situation versus their future one. Kokan-Nyhof says they have about $77,000 worth of equity in their home. After realtor fees and other costs, they should still have enough for a 20 per cent down payment, which means they wouldn't need CMHC financing. Kokan-Nyhof says they could probably even afford a 25 per cent down payment on a home worth about $308,000. "Now, that leaves them with a mortgage of $231,000, which will increase their payments to $600 bi-weekly -- at about three per cent interest -- and they will have it paid off in 20 years," she says.
"That's about $1,300 a month versus the current $956 a month that they are paying."
Even with the higher payment, they should be able to afford to upgrade to a bigger home today -- if they actually do have an extra $500 a month in their budget.
"But they need to go back to the drawing board and re-examine their monthly expenses to see where the waste is first."
This could take a couple of months of carefully tracking expenses and adjusting spending so they not only ensure they have the surplus, but they would also look for additional savings, which they will likely need.
On paper the can afford a bigger home, but they will need breathing room in their budget for emergencies, and they will still have to save for retirement. As a retirement savings goal, Kokan-Nyhof says they should aim to save 10 per cent of their gross income a year.
"For her, that's $5,000 and for him, that's $4,000, however, even if they save that amount, they will not have enough to cover 50 per cent of their current lifestyle costs in retirement if they stick to investing in mostly GICs," Kokan-Nyhof says.
"They have to achieve at least four per cent annual return in their long-term savings to last them until age 85, but if they stay with GICs, they will run out of money at age 72."
Although GICs are stable -- they can't lose money -- these investments barely keep pace with inflation. For instance, if Kathleen and Steve earn two per cent on a five-year GIC and inflation over that period is one per cent, they're only earning one per cent after the effects of inflation.
"This means they require much more money for retirement to keep their lifestyles equal to what they are now."
The X factor is their work pensions. Kathleen and Steve need to meet with their respective human resources contacts at work to learn more about their pension plans because those savings programs, combined their own savings, may add up to 10 per cent or more of their annual gross incomes going toward retirement.
Still, they should consider investing their RRSPs in alternatives to GICs to generate a higher return on their money. Given their situation, their best option is mutual funds, which they already own, so they're not in unfamiliar territory. Mutual funds do involve more market risk than GICs, but over the long-term, they are likely to out-perform GIC returns which means come retirement, Steve and Kathleen should have more money in their pocket.
But they need professional advice, as well as doing a little homework on their own, to find good funds that will suit their goals and appetite for risk.
So while they can at first glance afford to upgrade, it's wise they take their time. After all, that's one thing that Steve and Kathleen have lots of -- so long as they spend it wisely weighing their options to their best advantage.
"They need to prioritize their goals and decide how quickly they want the house against putting money away for the long-term."

Reviews of this property
Perfect location. Clean, cosy,close to metro station.nice little non touristic restaurants just opposite it. Friendly and helpful staff. One drawback: thereis no reception and we had to give a call and wait outside the building. No sign of the residence only on the bell on the exit door.Typical italian breakfast-a croissant and coffee-was in anearby cafe.All in all right value for money.
Very good basic accommodation. The metro station is right outside the door and the train station is not too far. Super So even if you are sometimes only one or two days in Rome.
Sehr gute einfache Unterkunft. Die U-Bahn-Station ist direkt vor der Tür und der Bahnhof ist auch nicht weit. Super also auch, wenn man mal nur für ein oder zwei Tage in Rom ist.
Small room, but correctly located, a little noise, but very clean and friendly, we will return!
Petite chambre, mais correctement située, un petit peu de bruit, mais très propre et sympa, on y retournera !
Great hosts, very nice place to stay. Near to Metro station which brings you close to every sightseeing opportunity there is. Breakfast is good, Italian style with a croissant and a warm cup of coffee. Although Termini Neighbourhood seems to be full of violence, hadnt had any trouble. Rome is just wonderful!
It was a perfect location in the heart of Rome, close to the metro station.
I.v.m. plumbing in the house where we stayed, we were accommodated in a hotel the first night. This was well organized, our host was the evening of arrival at the hotel in question present to catch us and coordinate it further. In short it was a great trip to Rome.
Het was een perfecte locatie in het hartje van Rome, kort bij het metrostation.
I.v.m. loodgieterswerkzaamheden in het huis waar we verbleven, werden we de eerste nacht in een hotel ondergebracht. Dit was prima geregeld, onze host was de avond van aankomst in het desbetreffende hotel aanwezig om ons op te vangen en het verder te coördineren. Kortom het was een prima trip naar Rome.
We were visiting Rome for three days. The location of the hostel is very good. Just few meters around the corner is the Vitorio Emmanuelle U station. The room was clean. There was a cooler in the room, which was perfect at the hot days. However, the hot water stream was not constantly hot in the shower. Every morning you get a breakfast, which is a cup of coffee and a crosount. You can pick it up at a caffe next to the U station. In summary, a perfect price/service rate, if you're looking for a simple and clean stay in Rome.
The hosts Daniel and Andrea, are really nice people, they were helpful and friendly.
clean room, adequate breakfast, a bottle of water provided each day (very handy when it is 40 degrees), small frigot to put. by against uninsulated room noise, we hear the music of the neighboring building every night and every morning heels. careful if arriving late must pay a surcharge ....
chambre propre, petit déjeuner suffisant, une bouteille d'eau fournie chaque jour (trés pratique quand il fait 40 degrés), petit frigot pour la mettre. par contre chambre non isolée au niveau sonore, on entend la musique des voisins d'immeuble tous les soirs et les talons tous les matins. attention si arrivée tardive il faut payer un supplément....
The location is very convenient. It is fast in the historic center. On foot you can reach a lot. The apartment is clean and well furnished. Daniel is a nice host and was very helpful. We had a nice stay.
Die Lage ist sehr praktisch. Man ist schnell im historischen Zentrum. Zu Fuß kann man viel erreichen. Die Wohnung ist sauber und gut eingerichtet. Daniel ist ein netter Gastgeber und war sehr bemüht. Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt.
Very clean and new bathroom, but a small room with a view of a brick wall. The location is perfect in relation to the Railway Station and Metro. There was a fine television with remote control, did not work, it took 2 days before we got switched batteries. Daily cleaning of the room and bath were perfect
Meget rent og nyt badeværelse, men et lille værelse med udsigt til en mur.
Beliggenheden er perfekt i forhold til Banegård og Metro.
Der var et fint fjernsyn, med fjernbetjeneren virkede ikke, det tog 2 dage inden vi fik skiftet batterierne.
Daglig rengøring af værelse og bad var perfekt
