It's Monday and that usually means another round of Dear Mark [1], but today I have something a little different in mind. Today I have some questions for you (along with a chance to win a Primal prize).
Since I launched Mark's Daily Apple way back in 2006 it's been my goal to help 10 million people take control of their health. While MDA now reaches hundreds of thousands of people every month I'm always looking for new ways to do a better job, so I'm coming to you for ideas.
Over the years I've put together and given away numerous freebies [2] (the 7-Day Course on the Fundamentals for Lifelong Health, the Primal Blueprint Fitness eBook, the Reader-Created Cookbooks and Primal Living in the Modern World to name a few), created new, handy web pages (the 101 [3] page, the Recipe [4] page, the Shopping List [5] page, the Resource [6] page and others), launched the forum [7], released a number of books [8], expanded the Primal supplement line [9], and began hosting events (Primal Transformation Seminars [10] and PrimalCon [11]) all with my stated goal in mind. Again, how can I help as many people as possible? How can I make this the best and most reader-friendly health site on the Interwebs? How can I best distill the science and make it easy to understand and practical to use? And how can I offer the best products and services a Grok or Grokette could want? While I don't really need another project at the moment (I'm wrapping up two new books – The Primal Blueprint 90-Day Journal and The Primal Connection – but more on that later) I'd love to hear what you think would make Mark's Daily Apple a better website and your Primal life easier.
So, with that in mind, a contest:
The Contest
"What do you want from me?" It's a (very) tired Adam Lambert song, but it's also an important question. My blog, my books, what I do is constantly informed by the thoughts and ideas of my readers. Today is your chance to tell me what you'd like to see on my part for the future of the Primal movement. In the comments section below, tell me one service, product, tool, or feature you'd like to see in the coming year. I'm leaving this fairly open ended. No idea is too small or big.
A winner will be chosen at random. Agreeing with other people is allowed (and encouraged), but only the idea comments will be counted for drawing purposes.
The Prize
A canister of both the Vanilla Creme and Dark Chocolate Primal Fuel [12].
The Deadline
Midnight (PDT), tonight!
Who is Eligible
Everyone. I'll ship the Primal Fuel anywhere in the world.
Thanks in advance to everyone that offers an idea. I'll see what I can do to give you what you want! Grok on! [13]

At the American Guest House Bed and Breakfast, we enjoy and love cooking! And more than everything, we LOVE sharing our favorite recipes with you! Tomorrow morning , our guests will try the croque Madame…
Croque madame is a "variation" of the Croque Monsieur (originated in France) which is a hot ham and cheese ( emmental or gruyère) grilled sandwich but with a fried egg or poached egg on top… And better it's coated on Bechamel sauce!
Here is the recipe for 4 sandwiches (15 minutes to prepare):
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- 8 slices of Gruyere, very thinly sliced
- 8 slices of ham, very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 extra-large eggs
- Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Butter 1 side of each bread slice.
First toast your bread with a toaster (30 seconds) or in the oven (5 minutes).
When it's done put 1 slice of the ham over the cheese, and place the top slice of bread over the ham, buttered side up. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches until bottom is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.
And then place a slice of cheese on top ! Put the sandwiches back onto the griddle or skillet then place in oven, cooking until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
Cook each egg sunny side up and place 1 fried egg atop each sandwich. Suggestion: add Bechamel sauce inside your sandwiches.

text: According to In Touch, Portia De Rossi checked into Passages in Malibu in the early part of May and stayed there for 30 days to get a handle on her drug and alcohol problem. Apparently Portia blamed Ellen for her substance abuse because Ellen is so controlling and that prior to heading into rehab, Portia wanted a divorce. The article goes on to say that Ellen visited Portia every weekend and that they are trying to work on making their marriage stronger. There have been rumors of a split for the past year, so this marriage might be on its last legs, rehab or not. I am glad Portia got some help though.

Home > Product Communities > Autodesk 3ds Max Design > New Features
Announcing Autodesk®
3ds Max® Design 2013
3ds Max Design provides architects, designers, civil engineers, and visualization specialists with 3D modeling, rendering, animation, and compositing tools to help create cinematic-quality visuals and movies, to sell their design before it's built.
Image by Mohamma Yazdi Rad www.yazdirad.com
New Features
Architects, engineers, and visualization specialists have deadlines that are getting shorter and shorter, while customers are raising the quality bar higher and higher. With this in mind, Autodesk has focused the 2013 release of Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design software on three main themes:
Rendering Revolution
Smart Data
New Features in 3ds Max Design 2013:
- ActiveShade Interactive iray Rendering
Experience a truly iterative creative process for finalizing renderings, with new ActiveShade support for the NVIDIA® iray® renderer from NVIDIA. ActiveShade enables 3ds Max Design users to iterate more effectively by providing an interactive rendering session that constantly updates as changes are made to cameras, lighting, materials, and geometry. By shortening the feedback loop, designers and architects can more efficiently fine-tune their scene, making it faster and easier to achieve their intended look.
- Nitrous Viewport Performance and Quality
The Nitrous accelerated graphics core has received a number of enhancements. 3ds Max Design users will enjoy the increased interactivity on large scenes, together with new support for image-based lighting, depth of field and accelerated particle flow display. In addition, improved support for shadows in large scenes, and improved workflows for interior scenes all extend the Nitrous functionality.
- Enhanced Interoperability with Autodesk Revit Architecture
Facilities working with both 3ds Max Design and Autodesk Revit Architecture 2013 software can now take advantage of more efficient data exchange. Revit files (.RVT) can now be directly imported into the 3ds Max Design 2013, enabling users to select a data view of choice to load from within the Revit file.
- DirectConnect Support
New support for the Autodesk® DirectConnect family of translators enables 3ds Max Design 2013 users to exchange industrial design data with engineers using leading CAD (computer aided design) products: AutoCAD software, Autodesk® Inventor® software, Autodesk® Alias® software, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks® and Catia® system, PTC Pro/ENGINEER®, Siemens PLM Software NX, JT™, and certain other applications. A wider range of file formats is supported; for certain of these you must have the CAD product also installed for it to work. The data is imported as native solids Body objects that can be interactively re-tesselated as needed. Now 3ds Max Design users can refine the data until they get the precision they need in their renderings.
- Enhanced AutoCAD Interoperability
New support has been added for lights, daylight system, and exposure control in the importer for AutoCAD 2013 software files.
- Enhanced Interoperability with Adobe Photoshop
Enjoy greater flexibility when finishing renderings in Adobe® Photoshop® software, with the new ability to output renderings in a layered PSD format that retains layer order, opacity, and blend modes (for example, multiply or screen).
- Adobe After Effects Interoperability
3ds Max Design users whose creative toolsets include Adobe® After Effects® software can now enjoy a level of interoperability that sets a higher standard for 2D/3D data exchange. The new Media Sync functionality provides two-way transfer of cameras, lights, null objects, plane objects/solids, footage (including footage layering), blend modes, opacity, and effects; with it, users can iterate more effectively and reduce rework to complete projects in less time.
- Enhanced Civil 3D Interoperability
The Civil View feature set that provides interoperability with AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2013 software now supports an egg-shaped profile for piping or tubing.
- Render Pass System
Scenes can now be more easily segmented for downstream compositing, thanks to an entirely new render pass system. A state recorder enables users to capture, edit, and save the current state, while a visual interface shows how compositing and render elements are wired together to create the final result. Designers can more quickly set up and execute multiple render passes from a single file; individual passes can be modified without the need to re-render the whole scene, enhancing productivity.
- Customizable Workspaces
3ds Max Design users can now select from a choice of default or custom workspaces. Each workspace can have individual settings for menus, toolbars, ribbon, and viewport tab presets; in addition, selecting a new workspace can automatically execute a MAXScript. This enables users to easily configure the workspace to suit their preferences or to fit the task at hand; as an example, it is possible to configure one workspace for modeling, and a different one for animating.
- Tabbed Layouts
Easily create and switch between several viewport layout configurations, in order to have efficient access to the views required for a particular task. Layouts can include both 3D and extended viewports. Selecting a different layout is as simple as clicking on its icon, or pressing a hotkey. Users can share customized View Tabs with other users by saving and loading presets.
- iray Enhancements
The iray renderer now offers support for motion blur, helping users create more realistic images of moving elements. In addition, a large number of improvements to iray have been added: support for "no diffuse bump", the round corner effect, and more procedural maps; improved sky portals, glossy refractions, translucency, and IOR (index of refraction); faster exterior scene convergence; and the ability to handle larger output resolutions.
- Focus on Workflow
With the understanding that small things can make a big difference, 3ds Max Design 2013 includes a number of improvements: the ability to manipulate the camera when cutting polygons and during the creation process, enhancements to the skin modifier, and a modeless array dialog. Customers can suggest their own workflow improvements using the Small Annoying Things forum at 3dsmaxfeedback.autodesk.com.
- Slate Compositing Editor
Perform simple compositing operations directly within 3ds Max Design with the new Slate Compositing Editor. The schematic node-based interface enables rendered layers and passes to be easily wired together and combined with certain compositing nodes, for example, blends and color corrections; the resulting composite can then be sent to Adobe After Effects or Adobe Photoshop, or certain other image compositing applications for further refinement.
- Multi-Language Deployment
3ds Max Design 2013 now uses the Unicode standard, facilitating shipment in multiple languages within a single executable. This enables facilities to offer their artists the ability to run the software in a choice of languages without the requirement to reinstall.

Pre-school children and their parents or carers, can help celebrate National Bookstart Week 2014 by taking part in a Hero Hunt and enjoying special story and rhyme times in Wiltshire libraries.
Every parent is a hero to their children, but even heroes need a helping hand to hone their skills. That's why this June, Booktrust is calling for all parents and carers in Wiltshire to don their superhero masks, reveal their secret powers and go to the library with their children.
A special version of Harper Collins' Super Duck, by children's author Jez Alborough, will be a free gift for children who take part. This lively story follows heroic Super Duck as he strives to rescue his friend Frog from an unplanned flight on a wayward kite.
There will be a number of free events planned for the week June 9 to 15, including:
• Baby time at Devizes Library with rhymes, songs, stories and sing and sign sessions on Thursday, June 12, from 10am to noon.
• The launch of the Bear Club Challenge at Salisbury Library on Thursday, June 12. From 11am to 11.30am children can make a super-hero mask just like Super Duck and help to find the missing frog.
Coun Jonathon Seed, cabinet member for libraries, said: "National Bookstart week is a wonderful celebration of the importance of sharing books with children from a very young age.
"We hope to see lots of families in our libraries during this week celebrating with us."
Families can join the fun and meet other heroes, by attending these or one of the many other events in libraries, nurseries, children's centres and bookshops.
More details can be found at www.bookstart.org.uk
National Bookstart Week is an annual celebration of Bookstart, the flagship reading programme from national charity, Booktrust. Bookstart aims to help every child in England, Wales and Northern Ireland develop a lifelong love of reading that will give them a flying start in life through gifting free books to every child.
This year's week runs from June 9 to 15 and will see millions of families across the UK coming together to discover stories, rhymes and reading.
Viv Bird, chief executive of Booktrust, said: "All the research shows that reading together strengthens family bonds and helps children do better at school, whatever the family's background.
"You don't have to be a great reader yourself to share a story with your children – often you just need to let the pictures carry you both along."
For families who can't make it to a My Hero event, there are plenty of ideas, tips and games on the Bookstart website.

PHOTOGRAPHS of their families helped children from Tregoze Primary School to learn about the past.
A total of 60 Year 5 and Year 6 pupils took photos to school yesterday as part of a workshop organised by npower and the global memory archiving website Historypin.
Pupils and teachers brought photographs of weddings, births and various celebrations ranging from the 1940s to today and told each other the stories behind them.
Claire Bowen, assistant principal at the school, said: "The children could choose to bring photos which fitted into one of several themes, which included celebrate, keep warm and work.
"They also had to speak to their families and neighbours about the stories behind the photos.
"The children and teachers spent the afternoon sharing memories of the past. They had photos of their grandparents and family celebrations from years ago. Some children brought pictures of when they were born in hospital with their mums and dads, which was really nice."
The pupils were also treated to a visit from South Swindon MP Robert Buckland, who joined in with the nostalgic event.
Miss Bowen said: "It is a whole different way of remembering the past. They had to talk to people about their photos and find out the stories behind them and then recount the story as they heard it.
"They were so enthusiastic about sharing their stories."
The photos will be uploaded on Historypin.
Newburgh Sheltered Housing, in Highworth, was also visited by the npower team, with residents remembering how they used to cook and clean, play, work, keep warm, watch and listen, and celebrate.
The archive invites the public to document and share their memories.
By listening to the experiences of those at Newburgh House and showing how lifestyles have changed in 60 years, npower hopes the workshops will demonstrate how previous generations lived without the household appliances considered mainstream today.
Clare McDougall, head of community and education at npower, said: "By asking the children to speak to their families to learn more about how they grew up, we hope that their imaginations will be sparked and they'll want to know more about life 60 years ago."

How did the 'Burgh climb back from a jobless rate of 17.1% in 1983? By transforming itself from the Steel City into "Roboburgh," according to Politico Magazine, in an article that takes a look at why this metropolis made it and other Rust Belt cities didn't.
"The city is sort of in a sweet spot," Sanjiv Singh, a Carnegie Mellon robotics researcher who has developed a pilotless medical evacuation helicopter for the Marines, tells Politico. "It has the critical mass of talent you need, it's still pretty affordable and it has corporate memory—the people here still remember when the place was an industrial powerhouse."
We're well aware of what makes Pittsburgh great, but it's intriguing to see our high-tech wonder through the eyes of Glenn Thrush, a senior writer for Politico Magazine, which is debuting its What Works series today.

Where can I go to get help with my node.js install on Windows 7?I'm evaluating the Jumpstart book on Node.js by Don Nguyen and stuck on installing Express.
Whenever I type and run command 'sudo npm install -g firstname.lastname@example.com'I get three ... and no feedbackhow can I confirm that I have node.js installed correctly?
Thanks for your help.
sudo npm is a linux/mac command. Are you sure you're following the correct part of the book?
sudo npm
I'm following the first chapter from the sample pdf. I haven't purchased the full book yet as I'm evaluating whether or not I'm at the right level.
Excerpt From Who Should Read This Book:
The second potential reader is the server-side engineer who uses another languagesuch as PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, or .NET. The main benefit you'll derive is seeinghow your existing architectural, design, and pattern knowledge is applied to theworld of Node.js. You may have little to no knowledge of JavaScript, but this shouldpose no big hindrance. By design, it's an easy language to learn, and we will havecovered many examples of both its syntax and idiosyncratic features by the end ofthe book.
From the 'Assembling the Pieces' section in Chapter 1/, in the Installation part. I installed the Node.js from windows .msiafter I installed. I ran the program (using node.js command window..) and did test; console.log('Hello World') it returned the correct results Hello Worldundefined
then I just followed the rest of the instructions but it never mentioned that if in Linux, run this command. I just ran in the Node.js command window
I'm an ASP.Net Web Forms Developer C# looking to make a switch to do more pure client side development (JS, JQuery, Knockout, etc. ).
Node.js is a hot topic and everything I read and hear about on it is very positive. I want to learn all I can about it.Unfortunately, my development environment at my home office (side business) and in my Web Developer full time job systems are on the MS/Windows stack.
Any suggestions on where I should go to learn node.js on Windows platform?Do you think this book can help an ASP.Net C# MS Web Developer learn the basics of node.js?Thanks
Sudo is a linux command, npm is Node Package Manager*, you either need npm in the path or be located at its source to run it.
Without trying to disillusion you about this, it's worth noting that Node has a few things that it is very good at, like processing interactions between clients and the server really fast. It is not a new language/platform that will replace .NET/PHP/Ruby/Python/Perl/What-have-you - it's a different platform that does very well within a set of use cases.
Having said that, I love Node - I love being able to program on the server side and client side in the same language, it takes a lot of the pain away that you normally have when switching between different languages. That, and JavaScript programming is a lot of fun, a lot more fun (in my very humble opinion) than many of the other web languages because it's just so versatile and flexible.
If you want to run Node on Windows it's absolutely possible, I do it at home and at work and haven't run in to any problems yet. Learning Node isn't really a platform specific thing, there are some things that work slightly differently on the various platforms because some things on Windows and Unix based systems are fundamentally different. Node should abstract a lot of these things away from you so you don't have to deal with it.
NPM is installed with Node now, so no separate install is required ... so if Node is working correctly you should already have NPM in your Path as well, as it is installed in the same location. So all you need to do when you see commands used in the book that start with "sudo" is leave that part off as that is a Unix specific command.
So this should work fine:
C:\\> npm install -g email@example.com
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.Now I understand. Since I installed the windows msi of node.js, I didn't realize, at first, that it took care of the npm installation. Poking around the node.js directory on my win7 machine, i saw that it was installed.
Then following the steps in the book sample, I tried to run 'npm install -g email@example.com' within the node.js command window; I received the following message:
> npm install -g firstname.lastname@example.com should be run outside of the node repl, in your normal shell.(Press Control-D to exit.)
then I ran the same command in reg. windows command; and it worked.Now I see how it works in a win7 environmentThanks again.
Thanks for the insight here. processing interactions between clients and the server is a major goal of mine coming from a ASP.Net Web forms background. Also good to know that it will not or doesn't replace my .Net skills. I agree with you on the use case statement wholeheartedly. It has to fit the customer's/user's need and requirements.
Good to hear! I'm a novice JS programmer at best, looking to increase my JS skills. Thanks for your words of encouragement...
You're right. I did some Linux stuff in school awhile ago while pursuing my new career in web programming but ever since I graduated from school and landed my current full time position 5 years ago, the only work I've done has been is in .Net. Maybe I should brush the dust off those old Linux books I have from school....
Aussie John, thanks for your input and again, your words of encouragement.
btw, I've got everything working fine now and moving along with the rest of the materials in Chapter 1 quite nicely thanks to you and logic_earth
jboconne, in addition to AussieJohn's excellent answer I would say:
As a .NET developer, your existing programming skillset should offer you all the tools you need to handle the technical challenges of the book
However if your aspiration is
looking to make a switch to do more pure client side development (JS, JQuery, Knockout, etc. ).
Then my personal opinion is that Node.js might not quite be the right fit. Although it is JavaScript, server side JavaScript is a different beast to client side JavaScript. If you do wish to specialize in client side work, as much as it pains me to say it, there are likely more appropriate books than mine.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and more than a dozen of the world's largest environmental organizations recently urged the green building community to vote down a proposal to weaken standards for forest and forest products in the popular LEED® program. The US Green Building Council (USGBC) opened voting on the measure last week.
"Where we use forests, we have a responsibility to use them well," says Corey Brinkema, president of the Forest Stewardship Council in the United States. "These revisions would be a big step backwards for the green building movement."
Currently, only wood certified under standards set by the FSC is accepted for a credit toward green certifications in LEED. The revisions would make key principles of exemplary forest management optional rather than mandatory. They would also allow new certifications by groups without balanced and independent governance.
"The certified wood credit in LEED has been one of the principal drivers for healthy forests ecosystems in North America and around the world—we believe the standards set by FSC should represent the floor, not the ceiling," says Brinkema.
In the 10 years since the LEED program has recognized FSC, North American forests certified under FSC standards have grown in size from less than 10 million acres to more than 130 million acres.
Leading environmental organizations—including the Sierra Club, World Wildlife Fund, National Wildlife Federation, Natural Resources Defense Council and Greenpeace—support FSC certification in LEED because it represents the gold standard in forest management. These groups and seven others have issued a letter urging USGBC members to vote "negative, with reason" to the weakened standards. According to these groups, "Clearly, a credit whose stated intent is to encourage 'exemplary' forest management should reward wood from forests whose management surpasses status quo practices."
The complete LEED program will come up for revision in 2012, with broad implications for the green building movement. If the proposed revision passes, it would encourage widespread lobbying for weaker standards throughout LEED.
"The bottom line is high standards are working, both for LEED and FSC," notes Brinkema. "Green building is that rare bright spot in real estate. Cheapening its standards would be disastrous."

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an independent, non-governmental, not-for-profit organization established to promote the responsible management of the world's forests. Established in 1993 as a response to concerns over global deforestation, FSC is a pioneer forum where the global consensus on responsible forest management convenes and through democratic process effects solutions to the pressures facing the world's forests and forest-dependent communities.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Just days after the start of basketball season, Saint Leo head women's basketball coach Nikki Jessee announced her squad's 2013-14 regular season schedule. In total, the Lions will compete in 26 contests while hosting 15 home games.
Cramming the start of their schedule with top-ranked opponents and regional rivals, the Lions will round out regular season play with their normal 16-game conference schedule.
"We're excited about the competitiveness of our schedule this year, which includes 23 regional games out of the 26 total games," says Jessee. " Our trip to Alaska should put our players in an entirely different element, hopefully making them tougher as we begin conference play right after that trip. With 10 returners from last season, we expect them to be somewhat seasoned and experienced. Our non-conference schedule should test us early so we know where we are in our team's development."
Saint Leo will kick off the year on Saturday, November 9, when they open up their season with a home contest against the visiting Palm Beach Atlantic Sailfish (2:00 p.m.). Two days later, the Lions will travel to St. Augustine to face Flagler in their first road game of the year (Nov. 11, 7:00 p.m.).
The following Thursday and Friday, Saint Leo will host its annual Saint Leo Classic Tournament, where they will take on St. Augustine's (Nov. 14, 8:00 p.m.) and Webber International (Nov. 15, 2:00 p.m.).
Back-to-back-to-back home contests will round out the month of November, as Saint Leo hosts Northwood (Nov. 21, 7:00 p.m.), UPR-Bayamon (Nov. 26, 5:30 p.m.), and regional foe Valdosta State (Nov. 30, 2:00 p.m.) on their home court in the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
To begin the month of December, the Lions will host Flagler (Dec. 3, 7:00 p.m.) for a regional home game before heading on the road for three away games. In fact, Saint Leo will travel to Winter Park, Fla. to compete in their only Sunshine State Conference game of the 2013 calendar year, when they face the Rollins Tars to kick of SSC action.
For their second and final tournament of the regular season, Jessee's squad will travel to Anchorage, Alaska to compete in the AT&T Hoops Classic. While there, the Lions will face Brevard College (Dec. 20, 5:00 p.m.) and another school that has yet be determined (Dec. 21, 2:00 p.m.).
Upon their return home, Saint Leo will host Florida Tech (Jan. 4, 2:00 p.m.) to kick off their final stretch of SSC contests. Shortly after, the Lions will face Tampa (Jan. 8, 5:30 p.m.) and Barry (Jan. 11, 4:00 p.m.) in a two-game road series, before returning home for two contests against Florida Southern (Jan. 15, 5:30 p.m.) and Eckerd (Jan. 22, 5:30 p.m.). The Lions will then round out the month of January by traveling to south Florida for road games against Lynn (Jan. 25, 2:00 p.m.) and Nova Southeastern (Jan. 29, 5:30 p.m.).
The start of February will signal the Lions' second trek through the conference schedule, as Saint Leo jumpstarts the month with a home game against Rollins (Feb. 1, 2:00 p.m.), followed by a trip to Melbourne, Fla. to battle Florida Tech (Feb. 5, 5:30 p.m.).
After two home contests against Barry (Feb. 8, 2:00 p.m.) and Tampa (Feb. 12, 5:30 p.m.), the Lions will take a local road trip to Lakeland, Fla. to face off with Florida Southern. The final two games of February will feature a home game against Lynn (Feb. 22, 2:00 p.m.) and a trip to Eckerd (Feb. 26, 5:30 p.m.).
In the final contest of the 2013-14 regular season and the Lions' senior day, Saint Leo will host Nova Southeastern (Mar. 1, 2:00 p.m.).
Just last season, the Lions competed in their first-ever Sunshine State Conference Tournament Championship, and finished the year as the SSC Tournament Runner-Up to make Saint Leo history. This year, the Sunshine State Conference tournament will be played at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Fla. The tournament dates have been set for Wednesday, March 5 to Sunday, March 9, 2014.

But then she reminds herself of the numbers. In the past two years, L.R.A. violence has dropped by ninety-three per cent, from seven hundred and six killings in 2010 to only fifty-one in 2012. According to Resolve, a U.S.-based analysis and advocacy group, the L.R.A. had approximately four hundred fighters in 2010; by June, 2013, they were down to a hundred and eighty Ugandan fighters and fifty armed zande—abductees from Congo and the Central African Republic.
"It was only ninety-three per cent because of relentless pursuit," Davis said. "If we pulled out, that would plummet. I know that is something to celebrate. And if Kony dies a natural death under a mango tree someday, I'm O.K. with that—I know he'll see justice, as long as he is not hurting kids and women."
"We don't need accolades," Davis told me. "We are not bleeding at the end of the spear, getting pursued by crocodiles and killer bees. The Ugandans are." And they show no signs of letting up.
Thanks to Adam for sending this one, and a big congrats to Eeben Barlow and his team for all the work they did on this contract. Also, I have much respect for Shannon Sedgwick Davis and her crew for actually taking action and having the courage to contact Eeben and funding this contract. You did the right thing. A hat tip as well to the Ugandan forces who embraced this training and made it work for them out in the field.
What makes this story significant is the fact that pseudo operations was taught to the Ugandan military by a private company, and there are actual tangible results that we can point to after they received this training. Although I wouldn't mind seeing a more academic study applied to how much of an impact pseudo operations really had, it would seem to me that these initial findings are encouraging.
The other really cool aspect of this story is that for those of you that follow the blog and read the discussions I had with Eeben Barlow a couple of years ago about the concept of pseudo operations here and here, you will quickly realize that in fact, something positive did come about from those conversations. That someone reading those conversations and posts over at his blog, whom actually had the money to fund such a contract, came forth and embraced the idea for the relentless pursuit of Joseph Kony and the destruction of his LRA. Here is a quote referencing how this group came to Eeben via his blog.
Poole had been reading a military and security blog written by Eeben Barlow, who had been a commando and a covert agent for the South African apartheid regime's most notorious squads. He was also a visionary and a dreamer. Back in 1997, he told me that his goal was to create the best and biggest military consultancy in the world. The private army he founded, Executive Outcomes, hired itself out, in the late nineties, to end civil wars in Sierra Leone and Angola in exchange for lots of cash and access to diamond and oil fields.
Davis went to meet Barlow in South Africa, and, after a family dinner with his wife and son, he told her he would take the job—and that he did not want a fee. He did not want to make money on this, he told her; she would just have to pay his trainers and underwrite his expenses. This was the kind of partner she was looking for.
Pretty cool. Here is a quote about the pseudo operations training the Ugandan's received.
The effects of the training were evident. Charles, a lieutenant from West Nile, told me that in the old days they would unleash a thousand bullets every time they encountered the L.R.A. Now, he said, they would wait and track in silence. The South Africans had taught them tactics for crossing rivers with logs and ponchos, how to swim and how to avoid crocodiles, which had killed one soldier and attacked another. "The South Africans taught us 'pseudo,' " Charles said. "You behave like your enemy so you can approach him, or even infiltrate inside the camp. We pleated our hair like they do, put on civilian shirts, uniform pants. Sometimes we went barefoot. We used to travel forty or forty-five in a team; now we can go six."
Here is the quote about the raid that missed Kony. It certainly hit intel pay dirt though!
In September, 2011, the first special-operations group trained by the South Africans crossed into South Sudan and caught Kony by surprise at a meeting with all his commanders. He escaped, but the Ugandans took back a haul of valuable intelligence: satellite phones, a computer, and diaries. Defectors later revealed that the L.R.A. fighters were baffled by the attack: Was this some new Ugandan army? After the raid, Kony lost contact with his entourage. He roamed the bush alone with one of his pregnant Sudanese wives, and helped deliver her baby—one of probably more than a hundred small Konys now in the world. When he reëmerged, he was so furious that he demoted all his commanders. According to defectors, he had moved to a new camp, in southern Darfur.
And this is what DoS thought about the whole thing.
By the end of 2011, Barlow and his trainers were gone. "Even folks at State and the Department of Defense acknowledged the training Bridgeway offered was very helpful in advancing the Ugandan Army's capacity," a Washington-based analyst told me. But they are not yet willing to say so publicly. When I asked a State Department official about the significance of Davis's work, he refused to comment beyond noting that "the Bridgeway Foundation is an independent organization that does not have an official relationship with the U.S. government."
So with that said, I think Eeben and his crew deserve a great deal of recognition and thanks for a job well done. He has proven once again that private industry can indeed produce amazing results through innovation, dedication and hard work. That pseudo operations or PO can be taught and it can be effective in some types of warfare. As Sun Tzu would say, 'all warfare is based on deception', and PO is an excellent deceptive tactic. –Matt
How a Texas Philanthropist Helped Fund the Hunt for Joseph Kony
October 21, 2013
Posted by Elizabeth Rubin
One night in July, 2010, Shannon Sedgwick Davis, a lawyer and activist from San Antonio, Texas, and the mother of two young boys, found herself seated across from the chief of the Ugandan Army, General Aronda Nyakairima, at his hilltop headquarters, in Kampala. "It was one of those out-of-body experiences," Davis told me. Davis was on the verge of becoming deeply involved in the campaign to capture Joseph Kony. In the course of a quarter century, Kony abducted tens of thousands of people, mostly children, and conscripted them into the Lord's Resistance Army (L.R.A.), which was conceived as a Ugandan rebel force but whose primary target has been civilians in several African nations. "I am a full-blown mom, sitting here with this Ugandan general," Davis said. "And I can't believe I have an audience with this man, and that he didn't write me off as crazy."
Davis had two questions for Aronda: Would military trainers and communications make it easier for the Ugandan Army to chase down Kony—who is wanted by the International Criminal Court—in the jungles of Congo, the Central African Republic, and Sudan, where he and his commanders have scattered, and, more important to her, rescue the women and children still in his clutches?
Yes and yes, said the general. His eyes looked so tired, Davis recalled, that she hadn't been sure she had his attention. "You almost want to pry them open so you make sure he's still listening. But he said they would welcome any assistance, and that it was their problem to solve." It was late, and in that first meeting Aronda seemed unsure what to make of this passionate, small blond woman from Texas. But the meetings persisted. Together, they began to map out what the general wanted and the guarantees that Davis would require from the Ugandans before embarking on an unorthodox venture: the charitable organization she heads, the Bridgeway Foundation, would hire private military contractors to train an African army.

I have checked online and found many places but want to hear some experiences from folks who have been. Where to stay, where to surf, what to do at night? Probably going late spring.
Results 1 to 10 of 20

Any body know some good places to stay in PR?

What part of the island do you want to go to and what price range.
I'm in San Juan, so don't have a lot of info about Rincon lodging.
I've stayed at Villa Montaña (in front of Shacks, and really close to Jobos). Really nice, super spacious villas and definitely the place to go with a wife and family, but expensive.
Everything in San Juan is pricey, but the nightlife is good and the food is great. If you want a small, non chain hotel in SJ, try the wind chimes inn, numero uno guest house or tres Palmas guest house. As a disclaimer, I haven't stayed at any of these but I have been inside all three and they seem ok.
I haven't stayed in Rincon overnight so don't want to give an opinion on a place I haven't physically stayed at.
If you are in SJ for a night or two, I can give you some very reliable food recommendations.

Nahco CheeseRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I'm powerful enough to clean most anything,
Yet gentle enough to eat.
I'm used to make an explosion of sorts,
Yet can be found at millions of stores worldwide.
I can kill grass,
And even tenderize your meat.
I can clean up even the smelliest stench,
and soften your fabrics.
What am I?
AnswerBaking Soda.
It is used for a variety of cleaning.
It is a common ingredient in many baked foods.
It can react with vinegar to form an "explosion". (Typically used in a "Baking Soda Volcano").
It can be purchased at many stores around the world.
Baking soda can be used to kill crab grass.
It can speed up the tenderizing process of meat in stew.
It is used to remove odor in fabrics.
It is also used as a fabric softener.
The typo in the title is on purpose. "NaHCO3" is the chemical name for Baking Soda. Looks similar to "nacho", doesn't it?

DETROIT - The man suspected in a shooting spree that targeted Michigan motorists in four counties is facing new charges -- including terrorism.
Raulie Casteel currently faces charges in Livingston and Oakland counties.
On Thursday, the Michigan Attorney General brought more felony charges against Casteel
The shootings
The shootings began Oct. 16 and stretched from Oakland County west to Ingham County. The targets mostly were cars traveling on roads near Interstate 96. Only a handful of shootings actually occurred on the interstate. In all, 24 shootings were reported to police.
The charges
Casteel has been charged and arraigned in Livingston County with six counts related to an alleged shooting incident on I-96 in Howell. The felony charges include: assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm with unlawful intent and discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle.
In Oakland County, Casteel is charged with 60 counts for incidents alleged to have occurred in that county. Casteel has not yet been charged for alleged incidents that occurred in Ingham and Shiawassee Counties.
Who's handling the cases
The Michigan Attorney General's Office is taking over the prosecution for Livingston, Ingham and Shiawassee counties.
The Oakland County prosecutor's office will continue to handle the 60 counts Casteel faces in connection with shootings in Wixom and Commerce Township.
The attorney general's office says its criminal division will review evidence collected by a multi-jurisdictional task force and decide whether to bring charges related to shootings in Ingham and Shiawassee counties.

Ocean Encounters Finathon
12.09841, -68.812866
Please Help Us Protect Sharks
We're swimming to end finning and a big part of this challenge is to raise much needed funds to protect sharks. After a big succes last year we are doing it again!
The start of this years relay will be at the Chill Bar @ Sea Aquarium Beach. More details will follow soon but in the mean time SAVE THE DATE 24th of August to do some serious swimming.
Please donate or join our Finathon Challenge today!
Thanks for your FINtastic support - it will make a difference.
Why be FINatical about sharks with AWARE?
Shark fishing is largely unregulated around the world. Overfishing, bycatch and finning – the slicing of sharks fining and throwing away the body at sea - kills thousands of sharks every day.
Project AWARE helped close loopholes in the EU finning ban and secure international trade protections for 8 of the world's most vulnerable sharks and rays. But, to ensure the survival of sharks, stricter, enforceable controls are needed for more species at national, regional and global levels.

Few holidays capture the imagination like El Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. From November 1 (All Saints' Day) through November 2 (All Souls' Day), families throughout Mexico and Central America build elaborate altars to lay out the favorite foods of their dearly departed. Platters of rice and beans, moles, tortillas, tamales, calaveras (candy skulls) and brioche-like pan de muertos dusted with sugar welcome the spirits home — albeit for a brief time — before the food is shared by family and friends.
Atole, a hot beverage thickened with fresh corn masa, corn flour or cornstarch, is a holiday staple, though it's enjoyed for breakfast year-round. Traditionally sweetened with unrefined cane sugar, or piloncillo, and flavored with fruit, a chocolate version called champurrado is served at Christmastime. This atole de calabaza is made with fresh pumpkin slowly cooked with aromatic spices like anise, allspice and clove. While the Day of the Dead is a time to reflect on the past, this richly textured drink will keep you looking forward to the crisp fall days ahead.
Atole de Calabaza/Pumpkin Atole
Atole will keep well refrigerated for two to three days. though it will thicken. To reheat, combine with a small amount of milk or water and stir over low heat until warmed through.
3 cups fresh pumpkin, peeled, seeded and cubed into 1-inch chunks
3 ounces piloncillo, roughly chopped*
1 teaspoon whole anise seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon ground clove
1 pinch of kosher salt
3 cups water
2 cups whole milk
1 cup masa harina (corn flour)
1 cinnamon stick, whole (preferably Mexican canela)
Sugar to taste
*Whole cane sugar also known as panela and sold in Latin American markets.
In a large heavy pot, combine the cubed pumpkin, piloncillo and spices with 1/4 cup of water. Set over medium heat and stir frequently until the the piloncillo melts. Continue to cook, covered, until the pumpkin falls apart, about 15-20 minutes. Purée in a blender or food processor until smooth.
In a large heavy pot, combine the water, milk and cinnamon stick and bring to a high simmer. Lower heat and whisk in the masa harina in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly to eliminate any lumps. Add the puréed pumpkin and simmer until slightly thickened but still pourable, about 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with added sugar to taste, and garnish with candied ginger.
Ana Sofia Peláez covers the spectrum of Spanish and Latin American cuisine on her blog hungrysofia.com. From the rich smells and flavors of the Cuban food she grew up with to modern Peruvian causas, hearty Brazilian feijodas and delicate Mexican flor de calabaza soup, she's always looking for her next great meal.

PPS: There will be spoilers in this. You have been warned.
PS: This could get a bit rambly, I write as things pop into my mind, and my though process isn't what you would call "organized", nor am I particularly good at proof-reading what I write. I'll try to structure things properly and such, but I make no promises. With that out of the way, please enjoy my verbal masonry.
OK, so the last months there have been a lot of blogs regarding the Civil War. There was even a poll on the front page on which faction you preferred. If I remember correctly, the votes were split more-or-less 50/50. And I don't see why. I really don't. I'm probably just being myopic here, but I don't see how anyone, after having played the game extensively, would consider the Stormcloaks to be in the right.
Don't get me wrong, from the get-go I understand why the Stormcloaks would seem like the good guys, especially for players new to The Elder Scrolls. You are about to be executed for crimes you didn't commit (Well, you did commit a crime, but illegally passing the border hardly warrants the death penalty). While they make Hadvar out to be sort of a "good guy", it makes sense for the player to favour the Stormcloaks, as they leave a better first impression. From there on out, though, things start going down-hill.
The great war ended with the empire outlawing Talos worship (amongst other things), which is the basis of the conflict. The Stormcloaks didn't like this much. However, the alternative was fighting war they had assessed they weren't going to win. The stormcloaks, in other words, basically mean that having the entire Empire collapse would be better than giving up the worship of Talos. Not only is he worshipped for creating the empire (meaning that worshipping him would be kinda pointless, since there wouldn't be any empire), but he also only makes up 1/9th of their pantheon. Admittedly a lot of Nords considered him the most important God, but still. It's also worth mentioning that Talos is an aedric god, meaning he barely does anything. For most, not being able to worship him wouldn't change much. Finally, they (The Empire & The Thalmor) didn't start to crack down on Talos worship until after Ulfric made a fuss about it; up until that point everyone still had their own little shrines.
Then we get to their racism and bigotry. They treat other races, especially the mer and beasts, like dung. Windhelm is a great example of that; the dunmer live in a ghetto, and the argonians aren't even allowed to live within the city-walls. The jarl, good 'ol Stormcloak himself, meanwhile turns a blind eye to this, and even to crimes committed against them. Our heroes, guys and gals. Great people!
That said; yes, you can join the Stormcloaks even if you're not a nord. That doesn't make much sense, and personally I think it was done just so that most races weren't cut off from an entire quest-line. After all, Skyrim's take on races seem to be that they shouldn't matter gameplay-wise. That's just conjecture on my part, though.
There's also the matter of the Ulfric being somewhat under the Thalmor's influence, judging by the Thalmor report you can find on him during "Diplomatic Immunity". Don't quote me on this one, however: I only vaguely remember what was in that report.
And what of the long-term consequences? Without Skyrim, the Empire would be severely weakened, leaving them open for a new Thalmor invasion. And with Skyrim being on their own, they would be easy pickings.
That's not to say the Empire is flawless. For one thing, the Legion seems to have gotten more than a little execution-happy. But considering the stakes, it is, if not excusable, at least somewhat understandable. Overall, they seem like a stronger, more stable long-term choice.
Well, there you go. Those were my two ears. I just don't see how you can justify risking an entire empire for the sake of (part of) your religion. And they're racist biggots. That doesn't exactly make me think more highly of them. But what do you guys think? A crown for your thoughts. Also, sorry if there've been blogs like this one before. But seeing as I haven't found a satisfactory answer to this, I thought I'd write a blog of my own.
PS: The last part contained two horrible money-related translation jokes. Just ignore that...
PPS: The "PPS" and "PS" at the start stand for "Pre-Pre-Script" and "Pre-Script" respectively, while the "PS" and "PPS" here at the end stands for "Post-Script" and "Post-Post-Script". Didn't know what to call the thingies at the top, so that's what I went with. Kinda unorthodox, so I felt I had to explain myself. So, um... Yeah. That's all, folks!
tl;dr: "Stormcloaks vs Empire" is "Black vs White", not "Gray vs Grey" (morally ambiguous). In my opinion.

Thorough preparation is the key to a successful NMUN conference experience. Although delegates are encouraged to develop resolution and report writing skills, both in class scenarios and at regional Model UN simulations, NMUN conferences will not accept any pre-written resolutions or reports. Delegates should refrain from discussing the issues with other delegations until their first committee session.
There are five key preparation documents that NMUN provides:
These resources provide the tools that you need to help thoroughly prepare for the conference, understand the flow of formal and informal debate, and begin research on the agenda topics. To participate fully at the conference, you will need to research beyond these guides to gain a full understanding of:
Prior to the conference, you will prepare your position paper outlining your Member State's policies towards the agenda topics. Updates for the Committee Background Guides are posted a month or so before the conference begins.
Our documents are only a starting point in your research. We highly recommend extensive use of academic books, scholarly journals, newspaper articles, official documents, and other literature provided by bodies associated with the United Nations. Delegates are advised to evaluate online sources carefully and only use reputable sources, such as these:
Delegations representing NGOs should consult their NGO's website. In addition, they are advised to use the resources above to gain more insights into the issues as well as the positions different countries have taken on the topics under consideration.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated at any point by NMUN/NCCA. Not even the best source exempts delegates from coming up with their own ideas and suggestions, and then framing them in their own words. Delegates should be aware that position papers and draft resolutions are read and evaluated by NMUN staff who have worked on and prepared committee and agenda items for months. This provides them with a profound understanding of the topics and enables them to identify and report incidences of plagiarism.

Hi everyone,Our website has 104,000 indexed pages on Google however a good chunk of these indexed pages are empty breadcrumb URL's with no content on the pages. There is no 404 error or redirect on these pages, just our HTML template without any visible content. Also, when we remove an item from our website it stays on Google and directs to the empty page. I believe this is where the root of the problem occurs. Should we be telling the SERPs to also de-index our pages when we remove items from our website and if so, how can this be done sooner rather than later?
We are using a custom built CMS from scratch. I am not a programmer but I can pass on the information to our programmer who can perhaps put some more work into the breadcrumbs or robots.txt file if that's what is required to resolve this.
With these empty pages removed from Google's index we are hoping that the overall SEO will improve on our website too.Thanks,
I know that you can remove pages from google using Google webmaster tools. You could also use a robots.txt file to not allow search engines to index certain parts or pages of your site.
Is there a way to automate these Google submissions? I am noticing forums out there become indexed within minutes after posting a new thread. When that thread is removed it is also removed from Google pretty quickly too it seems. Is this only because the forum is a high traffic website and Google puts more priority on real time indexing for that website?
I will go about the manual Google Webmaster method for now but hoping to get it automated in the future for instances like these.
The best plan is to try to reprogram the CMS so that requests for non-existent pages get met with a 404 error, and that pages that get removed are given a redirect to a suitable alternative, or are marked as 'gone', because as long as they are giving 200 A-OK Google will continue to index them.
Thanks - What is the most effective way to mark pages as 'gone'? Just a simple 404 page, a robots.txt file, something in the <head> tag, or another way? Actually come to think of it each page is generated through PHP so a file directory will not exist for multiple robots.txt files.
Google won't like that one little bit, and I won't be surprised if sooner or later that leads to a really low serp ranking.I would think belt and braces approach with a block in your robots file for all pages with little or not content, as well as redirects would be your best option. On the double wouldn't be a bad idea.
Set permission of all your CMS files to no-follow and then count the index pages.. this would be the original number of indexed pages for your site....
From a search engine perspective, they all recognise 404 errors, so you should make sure that your server is sending a 404 error in the HTTP header.
However, from a user perspective you'll want something a bit more long-term, whether it be 301/302 redirects or a dynamic 404 page that hints towards similar pages.
What are those tools I am not familiar ...Could you please further explain?
robots.txtGoogle Webmaster ToolsThe answers are pretty easy to find if you try!
Nowadays Google is moving towards Manual Links. As if there are some empty pages, it may also see those as a Keyword stuffing. First of all make those links nill and then remove those pages because if they redirects their than its also harmful for you. I must say you have very good website as you said lots of pages are indexed so you need to do this ASAP.

Based on this graph for my server population on FFXI, that is a considerable amount higher. (If anyone has any numbers of their own server population, it would be good info to see)
And not only that, they also seem to be attempting to make 14 more solo friendly.
How do you think they'll handle the "excess" of solo players? Larger "zones"? More mobs in a "zone"? Instanced things?
[EDIT] I take this
- Server max population will be 5- 6000 players.
as meaning 5-6k people on at once, not the number of max characters stored on the server.

Buying that perfect pair of shoes can be a little stressful. When do you have time to shop? Are you always working or busy? Besides, how do you know what the hottest trend will be?
If any of this sounds like you, then maybe using an online personalized shoe shopper will help. Interested? I've found a few companies below that might help.
Basically, you tell them what your personal style is, pay a monthly fee, and they send you shoes based on your style. Keep in mind each company is a little different and the monthly fees vary. I've been interested in joining, but I'm a "gotta try on every shoe" kinda girl.
Have you used any of these companies below? Would you recommend them to your fellow shoe lovers?

Why has Moribee been banned?
A PM will suffice!
Why has Moribee been banned?
A PM will suffice!
The South London Uruguayans
He has earned greatness to have joined The Club
Surely I hold the longest record for being banned and coming back ?!- was about 18 months I think
No Mori, no ROB... bad times
Northampton Bee, Davee and ISB also banned.
sad times...
Blind Optimist
If someone has been banned surely that is a matter betweeen that person and those in charge.
I heard the GPG couldn't afford to keep them employed. Recession.
Oh you didn't know? Yep that's right. They were all paid to troll. Why? Simple. Banana could ruthlessly ban them, scaring every GPG member into believing Banana has power to do as he likes.
Visit WWW.GPGTHETRUTH.COM
We could all learn from our masters, as to why posters are banned and for how long.
Otherwise, we run the risk of repeating bad behaviour....
I was recently banned for mentioning Nathan Abbey in a thread....shan't make that mistake again, and I beseech all of us loyal GPG-ers to never mention Nathan or even Zeema Abbey again.
Blind Optimist
Explains why its has been so dead on here this past week. Bring them back, the posters make the website. Rules are rules but without them this place gets boring very quickly.
The future's bright, the future's Brentford !
Maybe the time is ready for new posters to make their mark.
RiP;Allwright,Gould,Greechan,Hagan,Kennedy,Littler Purver,Robotham,Saunders,Shields,Walker
mori did put some mad rambling thread about facebook under general bees discussion that disappeared along with him...........
QPR-lead conspiricy i reckon.
Brentford are brilliant.
Does it mean banned forever?
What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof
I didn't realise that many members were breaking the site rules...
Are members sent a PM warning over their behaviour before being banned?
Maybe we should be told why someone is banned. I've just read the rules and they do seem to be open to a wide range of interpretation by the powers that be, particularly number 5 (personal abuse).
ROB for example, may have talked a huge amount of rubbish and disagreed with just about everything the club does / doesn't do but any personal abuse seemed to be aimed at him rather than come from him and he seemed to be unceremoniously dumped due to being a nuisance to a particular group of people. If this is reason for being banned then maybe there should be another rule in the code of conduct because as it stands, it's not entirely clear what the rules actually are.
I didnt read his ramblings so not sure why he would have been banned.
The code of conduct does not mention Nathan Abbey
It could have a section about who is banned and why, to ensure we are all clear and (heaven forbid) we donlt start spreading false rumours.....:mad1:
Blind Optimist
Is Scaramanga still banned?
Is THIS the in place to be......?
lack of games = lack of posters/topics to talk about.
Brentford are brilliant.

Nietzsche is frequently a fave of angry young men who might qualify as what Pesco called confident dumb people. Nietzsche works well for the modern kook with web-induced attention deficits: The fourth chapter of Beyond Good and Evil is a series of 122 Twitter-length aphorisms, and his work is snarky and occasionally humorous. Nietzsche wrote Beyond Good and Evil to criticize earlier philosophers who made assumptions about morality based on pre-Christian and Christian beliefs about "evil." Below I discuss why we need to steal Nietzsche back from these people, and I look at a couple of other writers who have examined what gets called "evil" and have attempted to explain it in more nuanced and rational terms.

Budget Micro-ATX P55 Faceoff: Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 and ASRock P55M Proby Gary Key on October 5, 2009 12:30 PM EST
- Posted in
- Motherboards
Mini-ITX is the new Micro-ATX, and Micro-ATX is the new ATX. At least that's where we see the trends going in the next few years. With the heavy amount of integration that Intel is working on, motherboard real estate just isn't as important as it used to be.
While we won't be able to buy an LGA-1156 mini-ITX motherboard until early 2010, there are good micro-ATX options for Lynnfield owners today with more coming.
The price points are nice and you don't give up any features to go with a micro-ATX P55 motherboard. Gigabyte's GA-P55M-UD2 is selling for $110 and ASRock's P55M Pro lists for $99. We will take a look at the performance oriented Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4 and ASUS Maximus III GENE motherboards shortly. While both those boards are targeted to gamers/overclockers with dual x16 PCIe slots (x8 dual in CF/SLI) along with additional features, better performance is not necessarily a given unless you are running multi-GPU or high-end cooling options.
You also don't give up much in the way of features with either of these boards. Both offer a single PCIe x16 slot for graphics support along with an x4 PCIe 2.0 slot. ASRock gives you a single PCIe x1 and a 32-bit PCI slot, while Gigabyte insists on a pair of 32-bit PCI slots. Both boards also feature IEEE 1394a, eSATA, Gigabit LAN, 8-channel audio, and a penchant for overclocking. The Gigabyte UD2 board ups the stakes with two additional 3Gbps SATA ports and a BIOS that just about any enthusiast will love in an entry-level board.
Performance is indistinguishable from other P55 motherboards - these things all perform about the same at stock speeds:
Networking and storage performance are about equal between the two boards as well:
The biggest difference between the boards, from a stock performance standpoint, actually surfaces in power consumption:
About the only real performance difference between these two motherboards is in overclocking.
Core i7/860 8GB Results -
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2
ASRock P55M Pro
If you're going to buy just one, we'd recommend the Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2, especially if top flight overclocking is important to you. If you are not concerned solely with overclocking, then the ASRock P55M Pro is a great choice, especially if you are on a strict budget and it comes with our full recommendation. If you want more details on both boards, continue on.

goinginstyle - Monday, October 05, 2009 - linkI loved the review also and it showed a lot of work went into testing these boards. I just wonder when TA152H is going to ruin this thread but until then it nice to see constructive posts. I also wish the mobo guys would just drop the floppy and IDE ports when possible. It would free up board real estate and hopefully drop the cost a little more. Reply

mathew7 - Monday, October 05, 2009 - linkWhen MB manufacturers are going to let go of PCI?
I recently switched to Micro-ATX, and found I have a real problem of choosing a motherboard.
I'm looking at buying a PCIe X-Fi, but would like to use a dual-slotted video card. But I would like to keep my options open for a second card (I'm htinking about physics, not SLI/CF, so dual-slot cooling is not required). While the Gigabyte does not pass my requirements, the Asrock also has a problem: usage of a dual-slot-cooled card inhibits the usage of the PCIex1 slot.
I intend to switch to i5/P55 at the start of next year, so I'm watching closely. Reply
Jaybus - Thursday, October 08, 2009 - linkThat will be a slow transition. There are still a lot of PCI adapters being sold out there, especially for some specialty markets like scientific instrumentation that take time to transition to new interfaces due to cost and low volume. Nevertheless, the demise of PCI is starting to happen. For most people it's not a big deal, because they only need 1 or 2 PCIe x16 slots for graphics cards and will never use the rest of the slots anyway. Reply
MadMan007 - Monday, October 05, 2009 - linkKind of funny but Intel is leading the pack in that specific area, their $200 (ugh) 'Extreme' DP55SB mATX P55 mobo has no PCI slots, also no PS/2, IDE or floppy. Maybe it's consistent since they ditched PS/2 and other legacy connectors on some boards a while back. No telling on the overclocking front but it is an 'extreme' board so it may have at elast some overclocking features. It has a couple of neat features actually, Bluetooth and Intel NIC. Reply
Jaybus - Thursday, October 08, 2009 - linkAnd uATX is a good platform to remove PCI from. Why not drop it from uATX? They can always leave it on ATX boards for a while for those who absolutely need PCI slots. I think other manufacturers will follow that path very soon. Reply
MadMan007 - Monday, October 05, 2009 - link*bzzt* The only PCIe 2.0 lanes on a P55 platform are from the CPU. So look carefully at specs and double check with companies when they say their secondary slots, especially ones that aren't even 16x mechanical, are PCIe 2.0. The UD2's 4x electrical slot in particular is clearly not according to Gigabyte, the ASRock claims to be but I'm not sure how if all 16 CPU PCIe 2.0 lanes are used for the graphics slot. If they used a lane splitter to provide PCIe 2.0 lanes to the other slots it kind of defeats the purpose, and if so it would be good to check performance with those slots populated. Reply
