HE'S been in and out of hospital since he was just a few weeks old. For one-year-old Noah Stevenson was born with a number of health conditions and had to be tube fed from the age of five months.
Now his mum Danni Jones, 20, who lives with her young son in Ringwood Road, Poole, is keen to raise awareness of the challenges of tube-feeding a child.
"There is a real lack of awareness in this country so you can feel very alone as there are no support groups locally and I don't want to take him to an ordinary parents group," she explains.
"He always struggled to take a bottle – he would often choke or gag but it was passed off as just a reflux issue. He was vomiting around 17 times a day."
It was only when Noah was admitted to hospital at five months with bronchitis that it was discovered he was aspirating on to his lungs and he had a nasal gastric tube fitted.
Danni continues: "It was very stressful at first because he kept pulling the tube out and would turn blue.
"I couldn't bear to be in the room when they were fitting it.
"But if it wasn't for the NG tube, Noah wouldn't be here.
"He couldn't swallow and he would have developed pneumonia."
Subsequent MRI scans have revealed a cyst on his brain which can affect the swallow reflex.
Noah has also been diagnosed with a heart condition and is currently being tested for a chromosome disorder. In December he was fitted with a gastrostomy tube which delivers nutrition directly to the stomach.
But, despite all his health conditions, Danni says Noah is a happy little boy whose big smile won a local photographic competition on Facebook.
"He takes it all in his stride and is always smiling. The gastrostomy tube has made life much easier for him – he sleeps much better now.
Danni adds: "If there are any other parents who are having a similar experience I would love to hear from them as I know how isolating it can be."

Metasploit Unleashed - Mastering the Framework
Hey guys / girls,
I am running some pen tests on my own server, and i have come up with an error..
i ran an nmap scan and verified the mqsql DB
ran through metasploit and end up with this error..Code:3306/tcp open mysql
and one quick question, am i right is saying the RHOSTS is the target machines ip?Code:xx.xx.xx.xx:3306 - Unsupported target version of MySQL detected. Skipping.[*] Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)[*] Auxiliary module execution completed

Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
I think i have answered my own question, please correct me if i am wrong here..
metasploit scripts are always up to date from what i can gather, i ran metasploit mysql_login.rb @ 9295, which is an up to date version of the code.
and it would appear the version of mysql i am running is pre 4.1.1 causing the error.
any insight would be much appreciated.

jamstan - Sunday, July 13, 2008 - linkI just did a build with an E8500. The temp always shows 30 degrees no matter how high I overclock it or what speed I have my Vantec Tornado at. Being an overclocker it stinks that I bought a cpu with a temp sensor that doesn't work. I guess its a common problem with this cpu and I hear Intel won't RMA a cpu with a bad sensor. I'm gonna be giving them a call. Reply
Johnbear007 - Saturday, March 08, 2008 - linkI'd still like to know (other than microcenter) what retailer(S) are carrying the q6600 for "under 200$". I would much rather have a sub 200$ q6600 than a 260$ e8400 from mwave Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkI do not agree with much of mindless1's critique on page 3, but we arrive at a somewhat similar conclusion: the section " The Truth About Processor "Degradation" " is lacking. Rather than adressing my issues with mindless1's post I'll just explain my point.
Showing the influence of temperature on reliability is nice and well, but you neglect the factor which is by far the most important: voltage. It's effect on reliability / expected lifetime / MTTF is much higher than temperature (within sane limits).
How did you generate the curves in the first plot on that page? Is it just a guess or do you have exact data? Since you mention the 8500 specifically I can imagine that you got the data (or formula) from some insider. If so I'd be curious about how these curves look like if you apply e.g. 1.45 V. There should be a drastic reduction in lifetime.
If you don't think voltage is that important and you have no ways to adjust the calculations, you could pm dmens here at AT. I'd say he's expert enough in this field.

xkon - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkwhere are the sub $200 q6600's? i know microcenter had some for $200, but they are no where near me. any other ones? stating it in the article like that makes me think they are available at almost any retailer for that price. maybe if it was rephrased to something like they have been known to be priced as low as $200 or something like that. then again. maybe i'm not in the know, and am just not looking hard enough. Reply
TheJian - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkYet another example of lies. The cheapest Q6600 on pricewatch is $243. And that doesn't come with a 3yr warranty OR a heatsink. So really the cheapest is $253 for retail box with heatsink/fan and 3yr. That's a FAR cry from $200. Cheapest on Cnet.com is $255. Where did they search to find these magical $200 Q6600 chips? I want one. I suspect pricegrabber etc would show the same. I'm too lazy to check now...LOL Reply
MaulSidious - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkdunno about america but in britain you can get a q6600 anywhere for 130-150 pounds Reply
Johnbear007 - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - link150 pounds is about 250-300$ american which is nowhere near what the articles author is claiming. One microcenter deal doesnt really constitute claiming you can bag one from retailer(S) for under 200$. Also, another poster pointed to what he called a q6700 for 80$. That is not true, it was an e6700 which is dual core not quad. Reply
Karaktu - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkI would just like to point out that it has been possible to run a sub-90-watt maximum HTPC for nearly two years. In fact, I've been doing it.
It DOES require a Core Duo or Core 2 Duo mobile chip, but MoD isn't a new concept.
- Using onboard Intel graphics, Realtek SPDIF and Gigabit network
Core Duo T2500 (2.0GHz)
- Cooled by a Nactua NC-U6 northbridge cooler and 60mm fan set to low
2 x 1GB DDR2 667
Vista View D1N1-E NTSC/ATSC PCI-E tuner
Vista View D1N1-I NTSC/ATSC PCI tuner
- (That's two analog and two HDTV tuners)
1TB WDC GP 5400rpm hard drive
750GB Samsung Spinpoint F1 7200rpm hard drive
Antec Fusion case (rev 1)
- 430-watt 80 Plus power supply
- 2 x 120mm TriCool fans set to low
- External IR for remote and keyboard
Running MCE 2005
Idles at 68 watts AT THE WALL and draws a maximum of 90 watts at full load (recording 4 shows and watching a fifth show/movie).
If I ever get around to dropping the PSU to an EA-380, I'm sure the efficiency would go up a little since I would be closer to that magic 20 - 80% range on the power supply.

chizow - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkOnly had an issue with this statement:
Intel has also worked hard to make all of this performance affordable. Many US retailers now stock the 65nm Q6600 quad-core CPU at less than $200, which places it squarely in the 45nm dual-core price range - something to think about as you make your next purchasing decision. However, if it comes down to the choice between a 65nm and 45nm CPU we would pick the latter every time - they are just that good. The only question now is exactly when Intel will decide to start shipping in volume.
While this may be true for those building a new system around a new CPU, this might not hold true for those looking to overclock using an existing board. These 45nm CPUs with their higher stock 1333 FSB will by necessity use lower multipliers which essentially eats into potential FSB overclocks on FSB-limited chipsets. Considering many 6-series NV chipsets and boards will not support Penryn *at all* this is a very real consideration for those looking to upgrade to something faster.
Given my experiences with NV 6-series chipsets compared to reviews, I'm not overly optimistic about Penryn results on the 7-series either. Curious as to which board you tested these 45nm with? I haven't kept up with P35/X38 capabilities but the SS you showed had you dropping the multiplier which is a feature I thought was limited to NV chipsets? I might have missed it in the article, but clarification would be appreciated.
TheJian - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkI have a problem with this part of that statement "Intel has also worked hard to make all of this performance affordable." They forget it was AMD who forced Intel to cut margins on cpus from 62% (I think that was their high a few years back) to a meager 48% (if memory serves) and their profits to tank 60% in some quarters while driving AMD into the ground. Do they think they were doing it for our sakes? NOT. It was to kill AMD (and it worked). WE just got LUCKY.
How much INTEL butt kissing can you do in one article? Notice that since AMD has sucked Intel is starting to make an ABOUT FACE on pricing. Server chips saw an increase of 20% about a month ago or so (it was written about everywhere). Now we see the E8400 which was $209 on newegg just a few weeks ago and IN STOCK, is said to go for $250 if you believe Anandtech. Even newegg has their future chips when they come back in stock now priced at $239. That's a $30 increase! What is that 14% or so? I missed the first E8400's and thought it would go down, instead Intel restricts volume and causes a price hike to soak us since AMD sucks now. I hope AMD puts out a decent chip shortly (phenom 3ghz would be a good start) so we can stop the price hikes.
What's funny to me is the reviewers let Intel get away with pricing in a review that comes nowhere near what it ACTUALLY debuts for. They've done the same for Nvidia also (not just anand, but others as well). The cards always end up being $50 more than MSRP. Which screws competitors because we all wait for said cheap cpu/gpu and end up not buying a very good alternative at the time (on the basis of false pricing from Intel/Nvidia). They should just start saying in reviews, "but expect $50 more upon debut than they say because they always LIE to get you to not buy the competitors product". That would at least be more accurate. For the record I just bought an 8800GT and will buy a wolfdate in a few weeks :) My problem here is the reviewers not calling them out on this crap. Why is that? Reply
mindless1 - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkYes you are right that the higher default FSB works against them, it would be better if a Pentium or Celeron 45nm started with lower FSB so the chipsets had enough headroom for good overclock.
NV is not the only one that can drop the multiplier, I've not tried it on X38 but have on P35 and see no reason why a motherboard manufacturer would drop such a desirable feature unless the board simply was barren of o'c features, something with OEM limited bios perhaps. Reply

firewolfsm - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkWith core 2s, you can always do a minor frequency overclock while actually undervolting it. With a decent cooler, it could even last longer than stock. Reply
ap90033 - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkIs it me or was this a little to negative on the OC stuff? I mean really, if you have good cooling, keep the voltage 1.44 or lower I bet the CPU would last 2-3 years or more...
It almost sounds like they are marketing for Intel, "Great Overclokcer" but wait dont OC just get the highest model or it will only last 10 minutes! Reply
TheJian - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkAgreed. I haven't had a cpu that hasn't been heavily overclocked since like 1992 or so. All of these chips clear back a 486 100mhz ran for others for years after I sold them. My sister is still running my Athlon 1700+ in one machine. It's on all day, she doesn't even use standby...LOL (except for the monitor). It's like 6yrs old. Probably older than that. Still running fine. I think it runs at 1400mhz if memory serves (but it's a 1700+, you know amd's number scheme). Every time I upgrade I sell a used chip at like 1/2 off to a customer/relative and they all run for years. I usually don't keep them for more than 1yr but they run well past the 3yr warranty for everyone else, and I drive them hard while I have them. I'd venture to guess that most of Intel/AMD chips would last 5+ years on avg. The processes are just that good. After a few years in a large company with 600+ pc's I realized they just don't die. We sent them to schools (4-5yr upgrade schedule) before they died or sold them to employees for $50-100 as full pc's! I think I saw 3 cpu deaths in 2.5yrs and they were dead weeks after purchase (p4's...presshots..LOL). Don't even get me started on the hard drive deaths though...ROFL. 40+/yr. Those damn Dell SFF's get hot and kill drives quick (not to mention the stinking plastic, smells burnt all day). You're lucky to get to warranty on those. I digress... Reply
mindless1 - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkYes, the author is completely wrong about overclocking. Overclocking (within sane bounds like not letting the processor get hotter than you'd want even if it weren't overclocked), INCREASES the usable lifespan, not decreases.
The author has obviously not had much experience overclocking, for example there are still plenty of Celeron 300MHz processors that ran at 450+MHz for almost ten years then were retired due to beyond beyond their "usable" lifespan, just slow by then modern standards. Same for Coppermine P3 and Celeron, Athlon XP, take your pick there are almost never examples of a processor that fails prematurely that had ran stable for a couple years, unless it was due to some external influence like the heatsink falling off or motherboard power circuit failure.
Overclocking really isn't a gamble - unless you don't use common sense. 2-3 years is a lifespan you'd get if you were doing something extreme, not a modest voltage increase using a heatsink that keeps it cool enough.
I suggest the article page about "The Truth About Processor Degradation" should just be deleted, it's not just misleading but mostly incorrect. Here's the core of the problem:
"As soon as you concede that overclocking by definition reduces the useful lifetime of any CPU, it becomes easier to justify its more extreme application."
Absolutely backwards. Overclocking does not by definition nor by any other nonsensical standard, reduce the useful lifetime of CPUs. It increases the useful lifetime by providing more performance so that processor remains at the required performance levels (which escalate) for a longer period, then eventually is retired before failing in most cases. It is wrong to think that if an overclocked processor would last 18 years without overclocking and 12 with modest overclocking, that this suddenly means "it becomes easier to justify it's more extreme application." It means you can do something sanely and have zero problems or use random guesses and do something "extreme" and then you will find a problem. Author is completely backwards.
"Too many people believe overclocking is "safe" as long as they don't increase their processor core voltage - not true."
There is no evidence of this. Show us even one processor that failed from increase in clock speed within it's default voltage and within it's otherwise viable lifespan.
"Frequency increases drive higher load temperatures, which reduces useful life. "
Wrong. While it is true that a higher frequency will increase temps, it is not true that a higher temp (so long as it's not excessive) will cause the processor to faill within it's "useful life". On the contrary you have extended the useful life by increasing the performance. Millions upon millions of overclockers know this, a moderate overclock (or even a lot, providing the vcore isn't increased significantly) has no effect, it's always some other portion of the system that fails first from old age, generally motherboard or PSU. It might be fair to say that overclocking, through use of more current, is more likely to reduce the viable lifespan of the motherboard or PSU, or actually both long before the processor would fail.
Intel doesn't warranty overclocking because it is definitely possible to make a mistake though ignorance or ineptitude, and because their price model is based on speed/performance. It is not based upon evidence that experienced overclockers using good judgement will end up with a processor that failed within 8 years, let alone 3!
It also goes a long way to understanding why Intel has a strict "no overclocking" policy when it comes to retaining the product warranty. Too many people believe overclocking is "safe" as long as they don't increase their processor core voltage - not true. Frequency increases drive higher load temperatures, which reduces useful life.
TheJian - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkAMD has recently proved this, and even Intel to some extent with P4's. AMD's recent chips have been near max, with almost no overclocking room (same for quite a few models of P4's) and they lived long lives. Proving you can run at almost max at default voltages with no worries.
Where does the author get his data? Just as you said. Prove it. I think Intel is tire of us overclocking the crap out of their great cores. With AMD not having ANY competitor they end up with all chips being able to hit 4ghz but having to mark them at 3.16ghz. What do we do? Overclock to near max and that pisses them off. :) Make a few phone calls to some people and tell them write a "10minute's of overclocking and your cpu blows up" article or you won't get our next engineering samples to test :) Maybe I'm wrong but it's sure suspicious. Recommending anything with Intel IGP for HTPC applications is might suspicious also. Yes, I read tech-report too. Also the same is on toms hardware! Check out this FIRST SENTENCE of their 3/4/08 article on 780 chipset from AMD:
"With today's introduction of its new 780G chipset, AMD is finally enabling users to build an HTPC or multimedia computer for HDTV, HD-DVD or Blu-ray playback that doesn't require an add-in graphics card. (AMD already included HDCP support and an HDMI interface in its predecessor chipset, the 690G.) The northbridge chip of the new 780G chipset also features an integrated Radeon HD3200 graphics unit that can decode any current high-definition video codec. As a result, CPU load is decreased to such a degree that even a humble AMD Sempron 3200+ is sufficient for HD video playback. Also, while Intel's chipsets get more power-hungry with every generation, AMD's newest design was designed with the goal of reducing power consumption."
OK, so for the first time we can build an HTPC without an add-in graphics card. Translation - IT can't be done on Intel! Ok, even a LOWLY SEMPRON 3200+ cuts it with this chipset! Translation - No need for an Intel Core2 2.66ghz-2.83ghz dual core! No need for a dual core at all. Before this chipset it took an A64 6400 DUAL CORE (on AMD's old 690G chipset and that chipset smokes Intels IGP) and still was choppy. Now they say a 1.8ghz SINGLE CORE SEMPRON only shows 63% cpu utilization WITHOUT choppy on the 780G! On top of that it will save you money while running. Even the chipset is the BEST EVER in power use. They openly tell you how BAD Intel's chipsets are at 90nm. But Anandtech wants us to buy this crap? BLU-RAY finally hit it's limit on a 1.6ghz SEMPRON at tomshardware. They hit 100% cpu in a few spots. I hope Anandtech's 780G chipset review sets this record straight. They'd better say you should AVOID INTEL like the plague or something is FISHY in HTPC/Intel/Anandtech world.
Don't get me wrong Intel has the greatest chips now for a year, I'm personally waiting on the E8400 to hand me down my E4300 to my dad (with runs at 3.2hz with ease). But call a spade a spade man. Intel sucks in HTPC. SERIOUSLY SUCKS after early this week! Reply
Quiet1 - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkKris exposes his personal preferences when he writes... "While there is no doubt that the E8500 will excel when subjected to even the most intense processing loads, underclocked and undervolted it's hard to find a better suited Home Theater PC (HTPC) processor. For this reason alone we predict the E8200 (2.66GHz) and E8300 (2.83GHz) processors will become some of the most popular choices ever when it comes to building your next HTPC."
But what are you going to plug that CPU in to??? An Intel motherboard with Intel integrated graphics? Look at the full picture and you'll see that if you're building an HTPC, the CPU just has to be decent enough to get the job done... the really important thing is your IG performance on your chipset.
The Tech Report: "AMD's 780G chipset / Integrated graphics all grown up"
"The first thing to take away from these results is just how completely the 780G's integrated graphics core outclasses the G35 Express. Settings that deliver reasonably playable framerates on the 780G reduce the G35 to little more than an embarrassing slideshow."
"Between our integrated graphics platforms, the 780G exhibits much lower CPU utilization than the G35 Express. More importantly, the AMD chipset's playback was buttery smooth throughout. The same can't be said for the G35 Express, whose playback of MPEG2 and AVC movies was choppy enough to be unwatchable."
sprockkets - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkThat's the problem with Intel's platform, at least without an add in card. I thought the new nVidia chipset would change all that, then I found out they are only using a single channel of ram, how retarded is that?
Then, for now, having the ability to run the add in card for games but then shut it down afterwards when you do not need it is sweet. I would wait though for the 8200 chipset since i know it will be easier to get working in Linux but may go still for the 780G for Windows Vista. Reply

frombauer - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkI'll finally upgrade my x2 3800+ (@2.5GHz) very soon. Question is, for gaming mostly, will a high clocked dual core suffice, or a lower clocked quad will be faster as games become more multi-threaded? Reply
7Enigma - Thursday, March 06, 2008 - linkI think it really depends on how long you plan on keeping the new system. Since your current rig is a couple years old, you fall into the category of 90% of us. We don't throw out the mobo and cpu every time a new chip comes out, we wait out a couple generations and then rebuild. I'm running at home right now on an A64 3200+ (OC'd to 2.5GHz) so I don't even have dual-core right now.
My plan is that even though the duals offer potentially better gaming performance right now (gpu obviously still being the caveat), since I only rebuild every 3-4 years I need something to be more futureproof than someone who upgrades every year. It would be great to say I'll get a fast dual-core today and next year get a quad, but 4 out of 5 times the upgrade would require a new mobo anyway so I'd rather wait another month or two, get a 45nm quad and the 9800 when it comes out.
My biggest dissapointment with my last build was NOT jumping on the "new" slot and instead getting an AGP mobo. That is what has really hampered my gaming the last year or so. Once the main manufacturers stopped producing AGP gfx cards my upgrade path stopped cold. If I could go back to jan 05 I would have spent the extra $50-100 on a mobo supporting PCI-X, which would have allowed me to upgrade past my current 6800GT and keep on gaming. Right now I have a box of games I've never played (gifts from Christmas) because my system can't even load them.
So in short, the duals are right NOW the better buy for gaming, but I'd hedge my bets and splurge on a 45nm quad when they come out. In all honesty unless you play RTS' heavily, or we have some crazy change of mindset by game producers (not likely) the gpu will continue to be the bottleneck at anything above 17-19" LCD resolutions. I actually just got a really nice 19" LCD this past Christmas to replace my aging 19" CRT and I did it for a very good reason. All it takes is to see a game like Crysis and realize that we may not be ready yet for the resolutions that 20/22/24 display, unless we have the cash to burn on top of the line components and upgrade at a much more frequent rate.

You can buy a Radeon 3850 and triple your 6800 performance (assuming it's a GT with an ultra it would be just under triple). Check tomshardware.com and compare cards. You'd probably end up closer to double performance because of a weaker cpu, but still once you saw your fps limit due to cpu you can crank the hell out of the card for better looks in the game. $225 vs probably $650-700 for a new board+cpu+memory+vidcard+probably PSU to handle it all. If you have socket 939 you can still get a dual core Opty144 for $97 on pricewatch :) Overclock the crap out of it you might hit 2.6-2.8 and its a dual core. So around $325 for a lot longer life and easy changes. It will continue to get better as dual core games become dominant. While I would always tell someone to spend the extra money on the Intel currently (jeez, the OC'ing is amazing..run at default until slow then bump it up a ghz/core, that's awesome), if you're on a budget a dual core opty and a 3850 looks pretty good at less than half the cost and both are easy to change out. Just a chip and a card. That's like a 15 minute upgrade. Just a thought, in case you didn't know they had an excellent AGP card out there for you. :) Reply
mmntech - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkI'm in the same boat with the X2 3800+. Anyway, when it comes to dual vs quad, the same rules apply back when the debate was single versus dual. Very few games support quad core but a quad will be more future proof and give better multitasking. The ultimate question is how much you want to spend, how long you intend to keep the processor, and what the future road maps for games and CPU tech are within that period.
I'm a long time AMD/nVidia man but I'm liking what Intel and ATI are putting out. I'm definitely considering these Wolfdales, especially that sub $200 one. I'm going to wait for the prices and benchmarks for the triple core Phenoms though before I begin planning an upgrade. Reply
Margalus - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkthe current state of affairs generally point to the higher clocked dual core. Very few games can take advantage of 4 cores, so the more speed you get the better. Reply
Spacecomber - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkThis has been mentioned in a couple of articles, now, that what these processors will run at with no more than 1.45v core voltage applied is what really matters for most people buying one of these 45nm chips. So, it begs the question, what are the results at this voltage?

Very good point. Since these CPU's are deemed safe up to 1.45 volt, lets see how far they clock at 1.45 volts. 4.5 ghz at 1.6 volts is nice for a suicide run, but lets see it at 1.45. Reply

"We could argue that when it came to winning the admiration and approval of overclockers, enthusiasts, and power users alike, no other single common product change could have garnered the same overwhelming success."
Except that it was not. It was a knee-jerk reaction to the K8 release way back in 2003. It was too expensive to matter to anyone except for the filthy rich. The FX around that time was more successful. In recent years they just polished the concept a bit, but gaining admiration and overwhelming success because of it?? I think not. The Conroe architecture was the catalyst, not some expensive niche product.
"Our love affair with the quad-core began not too long ago, starting with the release of Intel's QX6700 Extreme Edition processor. Ever since then Intel has been aggressive in their campaign to promote these processors to users that demand unrivaled performance and the absolute maximum amount of jaw-dropping, raw processing power possible from a single-socket desktop solution. Quickly following their 2.66GHz quad-core offering was the QX6800 processor, a revolutionary release in its own right in that it marked the first time users could purchase a processor with four cores that operated at the same frequency as the current top dual-core bin - at the time the 2.93GHz X6800."
Speed bump revolutionary? Oh well ;)
No beef with the rest of the article, those two paragraphs just stand out as being overly enthousiastic, more so than informative. Reply

MrModulator - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkWell it's being updated from time to time. I think it is relevant since Cubase 4 is still the latest version used of cubase and the performance is the same today. What is important with this is that they measure up two equally clocked processors where the difference is in the number of cores. Yes, the quad is better at higher latencys but it loses the advantage at lower latencys and even gets beaten by the dual-core.
More of a reminder of the limitations of current day quadcores in some situations. This will probably change when Nehalem is introduced with its on-die memory controller, a higher FSB and faster DD3 memory. Reply
adiposity - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkUh, what? I think he's saying these processors were on the shelves over a month ago. This article is acting like they are just about to come out!

MrModulator - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkYeah, you talk about games and maximum cpufrequency on dual core is important, but there are other areas that are much more interesting. Performance for sequencers where you make music (in DAW-based computeres) is seldom mentioned. It is very important to be able to cram out every ounce of performance in real-time with a lot of software synthesizers and effects using a low latency setting(not memory latency but the delay from when you press a key on the synt until it is procesed in the computer and put out from the soundcard for example).
Here's an interesting benchmark:
(Sorry, using the linking button didn't work, you have to copy the link manually)
If you scroll down to the Cubase4/Nuendo3 Test you can compare the QX6850(4 core) with the E6850 (2 core). They both run at 3 GHz. Look at what happens when the latency is lowered. Yes the dualcore actually beats the quadcore, even though these applications use all cores available. The reason could be that all 4 cores compete for the fsb and memory access when the latency is really low. Very interesting indeed, as DAW is an area in much more for cpu than gaming... Reply
MrModulator - Wednesday, March 05, 2008 - linkMade a typo in the post. The last sentence should have said "Very interesting indeed, as DAW is an area in much more NEED for cpu-POWER than gaming. Reply

Hey, sorry I'm late again. Had an unexpected situation here at Blog HQ. Nothing major.
As I said yesterday, the three wins in four nights reinforced my belief that this team is better than last year, and should make the playoffs — no guarantee, obviously, with so many teams of equal ability in a conference with two very good teams and everybody else similar.
The Rangers' made a few decent moves in the off-season, but no big splash, and you could even argue that one of them — the enforcer — was unnecessary. They got the backup goalie they needed. They got Alex Frolov, who works hard and is better in both ends of the rink than a lot of the other guys who were supposed to score the last few years; but he hasn't yet produced. Then they added Ruslan Fedotenko, who was another of the type they already had, but maybe an upgrade on some, and certainly a good addition with Vinny Prospal out.
No, in order for this team to be better, the improvement, I thought, would have to come from within.
And so far it has.
Do I think the three-game euphoria is for real? No. They will be up and down and up and down. They're not that good where they're just going to go out and win 50 games and finish top four in the conference. At least, I don't think they will.
But what I saw in camp and in the preseason was improvement:
1) We saw the addition by subtraction: Wade Redden, Olli Jokinen, Enver Lisin, Ales Kotalik, Chris Higgins, Donald Brashear (am I missing anybody?).
2) I saw what Derek Stepan brought immediately. I expect he will go through some struggles. But he's as good as you could expect.
3) I saw how hard Michael Del Zotto worked over the summer to get bigger and stronger, and we already knew he might be something special, even if he hasn't been stellar so far. Likewise, we are learning how much work guys like Artem Anisimov, Brian Boyle, Brandon Prust, Matt Gilroy and Michal Rozsival put in, too. And we expected that this would be an important improvement year for Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan, Marc Staal and Dan Girard; and wondered if it could be a bounce-back year for Sean Avery.
Well, pretty much across the board, we have seen those individual improvements. And we have also seen a bit of a transformation, at least outwardly, in coach John Tortorella, who is embracing this movement to get younger, and more importantly, to be a teacher and a nurturer and to have patience, to not put winning a single game ahead of the progress of his players.
Then, when the preseason games began, we started seeing that this team is capable of scoring goals, and not just counting on Marian Gaborik. More crucial, we started seeing a team that plays with some passion, doesn't go into glide mode, pressures the puck, creates a forecheck, is more than willing to knock bodies around, and sacrifice their own in front of shots. And finally, a team that sticks up for one another, and there is no way to measure how much that means to a team, how bonding it is when one player has another's back, and it goes right down the line. How an all-for-one attitude changes everything, and how badly that was missing last year.
Again, I'm not calling Mayor Bloomberg to reserve the Canyon of Heroes just yet. I think it will go down to the final week or so, just like it does every year, for a playoff berth.
I just like the direction. I really do. Even if they lose tomorrow or lose three in a row next week.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
April 1929 — Minsk, Belorussia
Berta was the youngest of three girls born to a Jewish family in Minsk, the capital of Belorussia. Before World War II, more than a third of the city was Jewish. Berta's father worked in a state-owned factory building furniture, an occupation in which several of his relatives also made a living.
1933-39: We lived on Novomesnitskaya Street in central Minsk, only a few blocks from the Svisloch River. My older sister, Dora, loved to swim there in the summer. By the time I was in the fourth grade, there were many Polish refugees in our city. Germany and the USSR had divided Poland, and Poles were fleeing eastward. Many stayed in Minsk because it was still close to "home," being only about 20 miles from the Polish-Soviet border.
1940-44: I was 12 when the Germans reached Minsk in 1941 and set up a ghetto. A year later, trying to escape a roundup, my mother and I hid in a warehouse. When we were discovered by a German guard, I was so scared that I began talking gibberish and started to run--the guard followed me. As I fled I slammed into another woman who appeared out of nowhere. Just then the guard fired his gun. We both fell and I was sure I'd been hit. But I stood up and found that I wasn't wounded. The other woman lay motionless.
Berta was taken to be executed but managed to get away. Later, she escaped from the ghetto and joined the Soviet partisans. She was liberated by the Red Army in July 1944.

There was a time in my life when dead trees/naked trees were simply scary, particularly when silhouetted by the moonlight. It could also be just a product of my over active imagination. I do blame all those horror movies though.
Before I thought they were scary; now I find them beautiful and full of character and personality.

Photo Hunt #13: Scary
There was a time in my life when dead trees/naked trees were simply scary, particularly when silhouetted by the moonlight. It could also be just a product of my over active imagination. I do blame all those horror movies though.

You're a great photographer! Well done for this week! :)ReplyDelete
Oooh, that is spooky! We see a lot of burnt trees on our way to Yosemite, it makes me sad that so many trees have died (but probably the rangers set certain parts of the forest on fire, on purpose).ReplyDelete

Am with you there in seeing beauty in dead trees... but also some sadness at their passing.ReplyDelete
while some may see it as dying, i can see hope there. trees can regrow leaves there and bloom againReplyDelete
If that is a person he just have a bones...Good choice. TCReplyDelete
That's a great shot. I could imagine a scary image of that tree at night on a full moon.ReplyDelete
I enjoy watching horror films but I have an active imagination too which leaves me more scared afterwards.
Yep, I find them scary, too. I think trees need leaves to make them look alive. Good shot!ReplyDelete

Lucky you got over that but they are very evocative of something scary just out of sight. Have a good weekend.ReplyDelete
love it...would be better if this is in twilight...but it was so good! :)ReplyDelete
This is a beautiful photo. Since starting to take photos I now look at the world differently as in what would look interesting in a photo. Thank you for visiting my scary election post. I was curious as to what country you originally came from where there is a holiday on election day...MichelleReplyDelete
Hello, Have a nice week ahead!!ReplyDelete
That is evocative! Subtly creepy and wonderful!ReplyDelete
Yes it is scary but I must say it is very beautiful! Thanks for sharing these trees to us. Especially here in the Philippines, That is very rare due to we don't have fall here But thank you so much!ReplyDelete
And I have to tell that your comment on my skywatch post made my day! Thank you so much! I hope I can never disappoint you!

i might be late for my comment but at least i can share my feelings of this wonderful swf you shared last friday... keep it up.. and thanks for the visit and comment too...ReplyDelete
You are definitely not alone with those thoughts. I too relate leafless trees (plus lightning effect!) with those you see in horror flicks. Have a lovely day!ReplyDelete
I totally agree about the character and personality. I love bare trees. This one IS a little scary, however! Perfect for the photo hunt!ReplyDelete

Was The Montreal Screwjob a Work?
by, 12-31-2012 at 09:02 PM (21882 Views)
You all know how the story goes: During Survivor Series 1997, in the WWF Championship main event, Shawn Michaels has Bret Hart locked in his own signature submission move: The Sharpshooter. On orders of Vince McMahon, standing at ringside, referee Earl Hebner orders for the bell to be rung and for Michaels to be declared as the new WWF Champion despite the fact that Bret Hart did not tap out. This would create bitterness between Hart and McMahon/Michaels for years until they decided to resolve their issues recently. Not only was the M.S. arguably the most controversial event to ever happen in professional wrestling history but the event helped create the "Mr. McMahon" character as well as set up the foundation for the Attitude Era. But with all of these benefits that benefited the WWF as well as Hart's relationship prior to the screwjob, some wrestling fans have speculated that it was all a work, a way for WWF to get that extra edge over Turner as well.
Even I have to admit that if some of the details of the Screwjob, the discussions with Hart/McMahon before the screwjob and the the results of the screwjob are all analyzed, I couldn't really dismiss that possibility either. Not completely support it and believe it but completely shun it. Anyways, if you want to get a very extensive look at the Montreal Screwjob, I'd suggest you look here. Be warned that some of the details can be perceived as hearsay. Otherwise, I'll try to cover the details as best I can.
Overview of the Screwjob:
Anyways, around late 1996, Bret Hart, 14 year veteran of the WWF, had a contract with the WWF that was expiring. When it was time for him to make a decision on where he was going, Bret rejected on offer from WCW when Vince brought up the idea of him signing a 20 year deal. Wanting to prove his loyalty and stick with the company that had been like a family to him, Hart signed with the WWF. A few months later, Vince told Bret that he could no longer honor his contract because of a financial crisis. Looking into the future, McMahon didn't see Bret Hart as a major player in the Attitude Era. At the same time, WCW had offered Hart a 3 million per annum contract and while Hart was considering negotiating with them, McMahon tried to work out storylines and feuds that could benefit Hart's character enough for Hart to stick around. Though he tried to do so, Hart found out that there was no way it could work out because his nationalist character made him a heel and he couldn't become bigger, as a heel, because he felt that HBK had taken his top spot. Being a face wouldn't work because of all of the history between him and now popular, upcoming babyface, Stone Cold Steve Austin. Basically, he was stuck and there didn't seem like there was anything that he could do so Hart signed up with WCW and would have to leave the WWF by December the 5th. Because of that, Vince'e main concern was getting the WWF Championship off of Bret because he was champion at the time. One of the suggestions Vince made to Bret was Bret dropping the championship to Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series in 1997. Bret flat out refused because he wouldn't lose to Shawn Michaels, who had stated that he would never job to Bret, especially since Survivor Series happened to be in Canada that year. Vince pleaded with Hart to reconsider but the contract that Hart currently had with the WWF granted him creative control with his character so in the end, Bret had the final say on what would happen to his Hitman character and still refused. Vince didn't want the incident of Alundra Blayze, the WWF Womens Champion, who moved to WCW in 1995 and tossed one of his championships in the garbage on his rival's television show, to happen again. After more days of negotiating, Michaels, McMahon and Hart all came to one finish that all three agreed on: after the Hart Foundation and DX fought with each other when DX would try to aid Michaels. The match would end in disqualification and Bret would surrender the WWF Championship the next night on RAW, explain his actions, thank the fans for being supportive of him for years and move onto WCW. However, McMahon had other ideas. Vince wasn't comfortable with that finish but couldn't do anything about it without having to get to Hart first. According to Michaels' autobiography, "Heartbreak & Triumph: The Shawn Michaels' Story" Michaels proposed a screwjob finish. Vince reluctantly agreed and spoke with Gerald Brisco, Sgt. Slaughter and other trusted advisers on what they planned to do to to Hart come Survivor Series. Vince also didn't want Shawn to mention the incident as if he had any association with what happened.
When the big day came, Pat Patterson discussed the match with Michaels and Bret Hart and went over what they wanted to do. Hart wanted to have Michaels put him in the Sharpshooter to draw heat. Hart would then counter it. When Shawn heard this, he ran back to Vince and told him how they would execute the swerve, have Hebner, the official, ring the bell when Michaels had Hart in the Sharpshooter, grab the belt, and get the hell out of there. Vince agreed on it and had Michaels fill in Hebner of the details. When the match started, Vince and a swarm of security guards went to ringside. The explanation of their presence, by the commentary team, was that they were there to ensure that the animosity between Michaels and Hart wouldn't escalate. When it came time for Michaels to put Bret in the Sharpshooter, Hebner was knocked as was planned. Chioda, a backup referee would officiate the rest of the match and soon afterwards, Bulldog, Neidhart and Owen, who were all ready to rush in when DX would make an appearance, were set to come out. However, everyone became puzzled when Hebner rose to his feet before Chioda came out. Seeing Michaels locking in the submission hold, Earl ordered the timekeeper to ring the bell. Once it did, Michaels was declared the new champion and Bret was absolutely livid. Michaels feigned shock and anger as well and left in a hurry leaving Bret behind. After spitting on Vince and destroying some WWF equipment after the debacle, Hart confronted Michaels about the incident and denied ever knowing about it. When Vince came in to talk to Bret, Hart punched Vince, took him off his feet and left the locker room and the WWF. Aftterwards, the WWF would bury and humiliate Hart on television and Vince would have an interview with Jim Ross about what happened and the famous "Bret screwed Bret" quote would come of it.
That's as far as I'll go but with all that taken place, there's been something that bothered me a bit. Would Vince really allow all of this to be disclosed so easily? Bret Hart's documentary, Wrestling with Shadows, as well as Michael's autobiography might have revealed a bit too much that he would have been comfortable with. Plus, Vince even disclosed the backstage brawl that he and Bret had during his interview mere days after it happened. That, in my mind, is the major cause of the speculation of the possibility of the whole thing being a work. When the IWC was flourishing back in those days and speculating on what Bret's reasoning for leaving the WWF was, Vince even tried to quell all the negative rumors that he, Michaels and the company was receiving yet he's so open about what happened in Montreal in that interview, knowing that he would be greatly despised...as if he knew about all the benefits of all of the attention he'd be getting beforehand?
But I want to know what you think. Was it really a work? Or do you believe that it was all real?

Azerbaijan Government News Agency: August 14th ,2008
Adnan Oktar: There has been very important developments about the Turkish Islamic Union. There are astonishing developments, but after the economic crises, Turkish Islamic Union has become a must. There isn't a second solution. The salvation of the U.S. and the European Union depends on the Turkish Islamic Union. If the Turkish Islamic Union is not established then, Europe collapses, the U.S. collapses. So both sides are going to collapse.
November 10th: A9 TV
ADNAN OKTAR: The world will be caught unprepared for communism. In Europe and America a basis for communism is provided. This economic crises will tear Europe and America down. They will come to a deadlock. And after that, they will put communism forward. This is the plan of the Antichrist.
Çay TV: March 4th, 2009
ADNAN OKTAR: I told you at the beginning, when the economic crises first started; "it will go on for seven years, and the severity of it will increase progressively." I have also said that; "It will cause serious famine in the world, preventive precautions should be taken, preparations should be made already and the only solution is the Turkish Islamic Union."
Otherwise, let me tell you frankly; the world will perish and the world will see a famine that has not been witnessed in world history. The only solution is the Turkish Islamic Union. By the blessings, the beauty and the peace of this union will turn everything totally opposite. There is no need to wait for that until the very last moment. Today, all around the world, some countries are going broke. This is new, I didn't use to hear of such things before. I knew that companies would go broke, but I didn't hear that a country goes broke, but now the economies of whole countries are going broke. Everyday we hear about a new company going broke.

Who is there who could provide for you if He withholds His provision? Yet still they obstinately persist in insolence and evasion. Who is better guided: he who goes groveling on his face or he who walks upright on a straight path? (Surat al-Mulk, 21-22)
It is Almighty Allah Who grants all blessings to people, makes them come into existence, provides them with all kinds of provisions and gives various pleasures to soul. Despite this fact however some people, as Allah relates in the Qur'an, 'obstinately persist' in disbelief. However by such persistence they merely torment themselves since they are in need of Allah for everything. People who do not acknowledge that Allah holds sway over everything are in the position of those, as related in the Qur'an, "who go groveling on their faces", since they are deluded to think that they can accomplish everything by themselves. Unable to submit themselves to the flawless destiny created by Allah, they always feel sorry. They merely struggle for their worldly ambitions without thinking about the Hereafter and upon failure to accomplish their goals they despair or become nervous. However aware that Allah creates everything flawlessly in the destiny, believers constantly feel contented and at ease even under seemingly undesirable situations since as a requisite of the verse, "...Fighting is prescribed for you even if it is hateful to you. It may be that you hate something when it is good for you and it may be that you love something when it is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know" (Surat al-Baqara, 216), they know that Allah absolutely creates it with goodness.
While there is the opportunity to submit oneself in Allah's superior wisdom and live the best of life, unbelievers' suffering because of their insistence in denial is an obvious scheme of satan. Satan makes people get into a race of superiority by making them be grabbed by feelings of arrogance that they can never attain. This in turn renders people incapable of employing their wisdom and conscience. Consequently people who act in compliance with the desires of their lower-selves swerve from the right guidance of the Qur'an and get into the most complicated, difficult and annoying paths. These people who assume themselves to be wise and smart ultimately attain nothing but meet a heavy loss. As well as spending an unhappy and disquiet life in this world, they head for an eternal life of torment in Hell. However in the Qur'an Allah relates the easiest way of living and grants feelings of security and peace upon people when they believe. With the genuine faith they have believers experience the utmost bliss in this world and because they devote their lives to Allah, are rewarded with the Garden for all eternity.

NEW ZEALAND - A 12-year-old boy says he thought he was going to die before being saved from treacherous surf at a popular tourist spot.
[WATCH NOW: Cellphone video captures rescue]
Josh McQuoid was saved after rescuers formed a human chain to pluck him from the water at Napier's Marine Parade Beach in New Zealand.
"When I was in there, I thought I was going to die," McQuoid told reporters. "The waves smashed me so much ... they flipped me around quite a few times."
Police said McQuoid was dragged more than 160 yards along the beach. He fought for air for eight minutes.
"(It was) like being in a washing machine, you know? Just boom, boom, boom," said Bryan Farquharson with Napier police.
McQuoid's friend, who was swimming in the water, alarmed beachgoers of the emergency.
"I could see other people up on the shoreline, and I started yelling, 'Come help us, come help us, form a human chain,'" said McQuoid's friend.
Cellphone video shows people on the beach rushing to the water where they joined hands to form a human chain.
McQuoid was pulled from the water and taken to the hospital where he recovered.
After viewing the cellphone video, McQuoid said he was thankful that so many people helped save his life.
"I'd love to thank them so much for what they did," McQuoid said. "They saved my life. If it wasn't for them I'd be dead."

Hi. I'm looking for a simple contact form plugin where I can say include the post title as the subject and then add this by shortcode into my custom type. Any ideas? I've been searching for ages and can't seem to find anything!
After reviewing a handful of contact form plugins a few months back, I ended up going with this one since it was fairly customizable, had shortcode features, and was actively maintained:
Thanks. That's the one I usually use, but as far as I can see it can not auto fill the subject field with the post name, nor put the post name anywhere else.
OK, I have found that the contact form included in JetPack defaults the subject to the post title
However, I would have preferred a stand-alone contact form plugin, so if anybody does know of one do please let me know!
aarrgghhh! I'm back to square one as the form within JetPack does not work with custom post types!!
So folks, I'm still looking!
I always use Contact Form 7
check out the contact form 7 in wp thats better , i m using it now in my site. <snip />
I think as you need dynamic content form solutions like Formidable or Gravity forms would fit your bill. Do check and let me know if thats what you required.
what for wordpress or joomla is topic?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/6/2014 (1170 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CEDAR PARK, Texas — Michael Hutchinson made 49 saves and his St. John's IceCaps never trailed in scoring a 2-1 victory over the Texas Stars Monday night, squaring the best-of-seven Calder Cup final series at 1-1.
Kael Mouillierat clicked for a first-period goal that was set up by Eric O'Dell's two-on-one shot and Blair Riley netted the eventual winner in the second as the IceCaps rallied from their sloppy performance in Game 1's 6-3 loss at Cedar Park Center.
Riley's one-timer from the slot came just 44 seconds after Texas's Brendan Ranford tied the game at one early in the second.
Hutchinson, who made 20 saves in the third period alone — if the shot clock was to be believed — didn't have to stand on his head but he did make three or four five-bell saves, including one theft on Stars' forward Kevin Henderson in the third.
Texas officially outshot the IceCaps 50-35, including 20-8 in the third.
The IceCaps, though, made the Stars work for every chance, not permitting Texas any of the down-Main-Street chances they had on Sunday.
The championship series now switches to St. John's for Game 3 on Wednesday night.

Jack Welch – once a self-confessed "neanderthal" on women in business – is perhaps the last person you'd expect to fret about the "glass cliff".
But when I interviewed him a few years ago, he said he was worried that if three prominent female chief executives failed to meet the big challenges they faced it would set back the cause of getting more women into the boardroom. The trio were Pat Russo at Lucent (later Alcatel-Lucent), Anne Mulcahy of Xerox and Carly Fiorina, then CEO of Hewlett-Packard.

Police have nabbed 29 firebugs across Victoria in the past month as Australia experiences one its fiercest fire seasons.
Since December, 195 suspicious fires have been lit. Although that number and the number of people charged with arson may seem high, Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Stephen Fontana believed firebugs were not "out of control".
Most of the alleged offenders have been teenagers being "stupid", he said.
"There have been a lot of young people involved," Mr Fontana said. "Not all of them have a background in arson."
He said boredom could be a factor but added it was hard to pinpoint the reasons why people deliberately light fires.
"You can sort of stereotype the offenders of arson. Some may some sort of mental illness, others are juveniles starting out being stupid."
Mr Fontana said police are monitoring known arsonists and "people of interest" and warned they would be caught if they lit up.
Police will be stepping up patrols in fire danger areas on Thursday, when the temperature is expected to hit 39 degrees, as part of Operation Firesetter.
Nevertheless fires are continuing to be deliberately started. The most recent one was a blaze that ripped through more than 100 hectares of farm land at Little River, west of Werribee on Monday night.
Mr Fontana said investigations into that fire were continuing and no charges have been laid.
He urged people who see suspicious activity to call 000 immediately and to report all fires, no matter how small they are.
"Often there might be a fire that started and it's gone out and it might be part of a pattern and we might not be aware of it," he said.

The brine shrimp (Artemia) maintains its life only in natural salt lakes or human-made salterns. This environment with high rates of salt where only some red bacteria and a type of unicellular algae can live protects it against enemies. However, this environment cannot protect it against flamingos. You can see the brine shrimp or its relatives in everywhere that you see flamingos.
Artemia, which does not have any defense organ, easily falls prey to flamingos. Even though the living being seems to be defenseless at first sight, it is actually not so. Allah created a perfect system for these living beings to spread and reproduce.
Artemia's flawless reproductive strategy
The eggs of artemias are covered with a very thick and flexible layer. Even if a mature artemia is eaten by a flamingo, flamingos are not able to digest the artemias in the egg sac. So the eggs can be carried to all the suitable locations on the migration paths of flamingos.
Artemias need flamingos since the very first day of their Creation. Because the artemia has neither the necessary waiting time process to develop its eggshell nor the amount of time needed to explore the flamingos. The diet of flamingos and the reproductory mechanisms of artemias are all created together in a single moment.
Eggs designed to endure even the most difficult conditions
Artemia normally maintains its active life in the santern at a degree of 6-35°C. However, most of the time the weather in santerns can be colder or hotter than this temperature range. So, how can artemias maintain their lives in the santerns under these variable conditions?
Mature shrimps begin to form their thick-walled, winter eggs beginning from the last days of autumn. These eggs can go through even the most severe winter periods. This is because the eggs miraculously produce a glycerin that acts as natural antifreeze in their bodies. The winter eggs can endure both cold temperatures at -273°C and hot temperatures at +100° C. (Harun Yahya, the Micro World Miracle)
These characteristics of eggs have ensured that artemias maintain their species to our day.
Artemia synthesizing hemoglobin by changing oxygen levels
Mammals and generally vertebrates choke to death when they stay in an environment with low oxygen levels. However, artemias do not have such problems. They can solve this problem through a special mechanism created in their bodily systems:
Artemia can maintain its life in extremely hot and salty waters where dissolved oxygen levels in water is very low and even on crystallized salt stacks, by its ability to regulate the density of hemoglobin (a molecule that carries oxygen in our blood veins like a truck) in blood. This mechanism is based on its ability to synthesize low levels of hemoglobin in densities of high dissolved oxygen and to synthesize high levels of hemoglobin in environments with low oxygen. This living being with these formidable characteristics does not have intelligence. It is surely impossible to claim that artemia has explored the glycerin that enables it to endure temperatures lower than 6oC or has designed the system to adjust the hemoglobin density and placed it in its body.
The only explanation to make about these characteristics of artemias is that Allah created this living being. Our Lord Who is the Owner of Everything and Who created everything as He wills, created these beings with different features. By this means, artemias are able to maintain their lives even in the most difficult conditions.
We have made it an Arabic Qur'an so that hopefully you will use your intellect. It is in the Source Book with Us, high-exalted, full of wisdom. (Surat az-Zukhruf, 3-4)

THE state of a wildlife haven behind a council's headquarters has been slammed — for the second time in two years.
Platts Lodge, directly behind Hyndburn Council's base in Accrington, forms part of the Hyndburn Greenway walk, and has been described as an 'urban oasis' in the heart of town.
Reclaimed from old industrial land in 2007, it was officially recognised as a key nature reserve in 2009.
Fears were first raised about the site last June by Accrington man Andrew Dwyer and now, the customer services team leader has again spoken out after taking pictures of dead birds and fish spotted there.
In an email to the council, he said: "Directly behind your offices is a little lodge. I am ashamed to walk past it every morning. Over the last month, I have been taking photographs of the state it has now become.
"I have pictures of dead birds and fish and I am going to contact every wildlife agency I can find.
"The area is a wildlife sanctuary and should not be open to the public. I suggest you walk along the path and look for yourself what it has become."
Mr Dwyer told the Lancashire Telegraph he walks past the lodge every morning on his way to work, and described it as a 'shambles'.
He said: "It's just getting worse and worse. There's litter everywhere. I have got pictures of the new bin overflowing, past its collection date. In the past, I've even had to report kids to the police because they were poking a nesting Canadian goose with a stick, and throwing stones at it. I yelled at them to stop and they went away, but they came back and started doing it again." A spokesman for Hyndburn Council said the land was not their responsibility, but that of the Globe Centre nearby. A spokeswoman for the Globe Centre declined to comment.
