Today's review is for a cigar that had been hinted at for awhile, but
nobody thought was going to be released anytime soon. That was until
Dion Giolito, owner of Illusione Cigars, tweeted that the cigars began
being shipping to retailers on July 13th. The 2012 version of the
Singularé comes packed in a box containing two different cigars. This
one (the maduro) and another of the same size and shape, but with a
natural wrapper.
Quote from Dion about the Singularé 2012 Maduro: This
was one of the blends I put together while in Miami at our "playpen."
The blend to this cigar is specific to 2 farms in Esteli, and one in
Jalapa. The wrapper is maduro, San Andreas. This cigar is completely
different in blend and taste profile from the Corojo 2011/2012 that sits
next to it in the box.
The original Singularé was a fantastic stick that I don't think received
as much publicity as it deserved. Despite everyone I know who smoked
enjoying it very much, it still didn't seem to gain the following other
small batch releases have had in the past few years. Let's see how this
release stacks up.
Vitola: Parejo
Length: 6
Ring Gauge: 52
Wrapper: Mexican San Andres
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Price: $12.00
Smoking Location: NHC office
Beverage: water

Just like a few days ago, today's review is for a brand new stick coming
from L'Atelier Surrogates. The Tramp Stamp (referring to the pop
culture name for a tattoo on ones' lower back) is an obvious play on
words with Tatuaje (Spanish for tattoo.) Tramp Stamp will be the fourth
release in the Surrogates line and the second to be sold through the new
L'Atelier Imports company. (Check my last review for info on the origin of Surrogates and L'Atelier.) Pete
Johnson (the owner of Tatuaje) has been quoted as saying that it is a
blend based off of his personal "Black Label" blend that, up until a few
years ago, was only available at Tatuaje events Pete attended. I'm a
big fan of most of the Black Label releases, so I was very interested to
see what this take on the blend would be like.
Vitola: Corona Gorda-ish
Length: 5 1/4
Ring Gauge: 48
Wrapper: Ecuadoran Habano
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Price: $7.00

Up for review is the soon to be released (at the IPCPR 2012 tradeshow)
INCH by EP Carrillo. Rumors of this cigar have been around for quite
some time and, just in the past two months, pictures have begun to
Some info on the INCH from various sources: This cigar is being produced
in both Maduro and Natural wrappers. Connecticut Broadleaf for the
Maduro and Ecuador Sumatra wrapper for
the Natural. They both have the same blend of
Nicaraguan binders and Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. Both cigars are
said to be medium to full in strength and
have a suggested price of $8.75-$10.00
It looks like it will take a long time to burn this one down, so let's get to it.

Let's talk about a new stick coming soon from the Surrogates brand of
cigars. Surrogates, for those of you who don't know, is a line of cigars
owned by Dan Welsh, owner/operator of New Havana Cigars. There were two releases from this line this past year - the Skull Breaker and the Bone Crusher.
Much buzz was around these cigars in the early days because Dan was not
forthcoming with where these sticks were being made and explained that
it was an experiment he was conducting.
Dan explained the experiment as this: I
was curious, given my business model, how much hype goes into our
smoking and buying decisions. Although I am thoroughly an advocate of
educating ourselves as to what we are smoking, eating or drinking - so
as to develop our palate and make better decisions when choosing future
things - I also think that when we try something new without the hype
of a limited release, or a certain manufacturer or claims of aged
tobacco or 100% ligero, etc., that we come across a more authentic
tasting experience. So, being that it is not limited - this seemed
like a great opportunity to tell everyone 'try it and decide'.
Fast forward a few months to now and we all know the cat is out of the
bag with the experiment, and that Pete Johnson of Tatuaje fame blended
and produced these sticks at the My Father Cigar factory in Esteli. Now
to add one more chapter to the story of the Surrogates brand, the former
two releases and the two newer releases (this one and Tramp Stamp) are
being licensed out to be made for a new company called L'Atelier Imports
for the foreseeable future. L'Atelier is a new company formed by Dan
Welsh, Pete Johnson, K.C. Johnson, and Sean Johnson. I don't tend to
write news stories on this site, so if you want the full scoop on
L'Atelier, check out Cigar Brief's post or Charlie's Halfwheel post.
OK. Now that all of the information is out of the way, let's move on to the review.

Today's cigar review is for a line a lot of people were very excited
about coming out of the 2010 IPCPR trade show. Somehow, over the past
two years, I've never taken the time to smoke one or, if I did, I don't
remember it. I went with the smallest size in the line because my
smoking time was short. An interesting note: while the Avo Heritage line
was released in 2010, this size was only released back in February of
From the AVO Heritage press release: Centuries of tradition,
knowledge and passion are what you will dicover in each AVO Heritage
cigar created by Master Cigar Composer Avo Uvezian, alongside undisputed
Master of Tobacco Hendrik Kelner – assisted by Eladin Diaz and Manuel
Peralia, plus the many talented farmers, blenders, and rollers.
A lot of collaboration went into this cigar, and from most of the things
I have heard, it has paid off. Time to give the Avo Heritage a go for

Tonight's review is for a stick that comes with a little story. My
partner at Cigar Explorer Mario attended a charity event in New York a
few weeks back which was hosted by Carlito Fuente. I'm sure Mario took
video of the event, but he has been very busy and is back logged with
videos at this time. Anyway, during the after party at the Grand Havana
Room, Carlito handed Mario a couple of these cigars and said, "Nobody
has this one." What does that mean? I don't know. What I do know is
Mario saved one for me, so I'm thankful to him for that. From doing some
Google research (I will readily admit that I'm an amateur regarding
Fuente products), this cigar looked like the Arturo Fuente Don Gran
AniverXario Natural.
Some early history on Arturo Fuente Don Gran AniverXario Natural from a Old Prometheus press-release via Halfwheel: Carlito
Fuente has created a new cigar, Don Arturo Gran AniverXario, in tribute
to his grandfather, Arturo Fuente. These cigars are made with the
legendary wrapper leaves from Chateau de la Fuente, the birthplace of a
dream. Carlito Fuente made Don Arturo Gran AniverXario cigars in 2001 to
celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Arturo Fuente Cigar Company, which
was founded by his grandfather in 1912. He planned to release Don Arturo
Gran AniverXario cigars every year, starting in 2002, to celebrate the
100th Anniversary. However, these cigars were never released. Don Arturo
Gran AniverXario cigars have been aging in the Fuente aging room since
2001. These 7-year-old cigars will finally be presented in the Limited
Edition Fuente Story Humidors produced by Prometheus.
So, with all that said, I don't even know if this cigar is the
previously-released Arturo Fuente Don Gran AniverXario. Could it be one
of the delayed 100th year Anniversary cigars that are not coming until
2013? Speculating is something fun, but in the long run, really doesn't
mean anything. For the purpose of this review I'm simply going to call
it Gran AniverXario.

Happy forth of July everyone. I'm sorry content has been a little slow
coming out of the site recently but my life has been very busy with
summer travel. Excuses excuses I know. Anyway, the cigar up for review
today is a fitting one given it's Independence day, the Alec Bradley
American Sun Grown Blend. (That's a mouthful). I was given this stick
from the infamous @AB_therockstar Barry Blonder while hanging out at Governor's Smoke Shop last week. That was my first time talking to Barry for more than five seconds and what a down to earth great guy he is.
Anyway, I little about the cigar taken from the Alec Bradley Website: On the heels of last year's "American Classic Blend" release, Alec
Bradley Cigars has announced the release of "American Sungrown Blend," a
fuller-bodied, all-Nicaraguan leaf blend. Priced affordably, the
"American Sungrown Blend" offers an extension to the American Classic
selection with a little more spice. The cigars will retail between $4.20
to $5.75, and scheduled to arrive at retail cigar stores by [July 4th.
The price point on these cigars is a great relief to the wallet, and I'm
sure that played into the popularity of the American Classic Blend. For
me that blend was a little underwhelming, but the description of the
Sun Grown sounds right to my liking. On to the review.

Tentative Day-by-Day Itinerary
Friday, March 8th: GROUP FLIGHT to South Africa!
Departure: Friday, March 8th, 2013 from Washington Dulles (IAD) at 5:40pm on
SA flight #208 and arrives in Johannesburg, South Africa (JNB) at 6pm on Saturday, March 9th, 2013.
Saturday, March 9th: Arrive in South Africa, air transfer from Johannesburg to Cape Town.
Air transfer from Johannesburg, South Africa (JNB) on SA flight #375 departing at 9pm and arriving at Cape Town, South Africa (CPT) at 11:10pm.
Group transfer (an approx. 15 minute drive) to The PortsWood Hotel.
Sunday, March 10th: Breakfast at the hotel. You will then be met by your guide who will transfer you to Table Mountain (pictured above), one of the seven "new" wonders of the world, where you will take a cable car ride. (The ride up takes only a few minutes.) A visit to Cape Town would be incomplete without a trip up the famous Table Mountain, which reaches a height of 1085 meters at its highest point awarding you the most breath-taking views over the peninsula. Since its opening in 1929, over 16 million people have taken the trip to the top of Table Mountain. The Table Mountain cableway has since become something of a landmark in Cape Town, and has carried some of Cape Town's most illustrious visitors including King George VI and Queen Elizabeth II, as well as Oprah Winfrey, Sting, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Free time for lunch at the waterfront, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants.
Next you will be transferred to board the ferry to Robben Island (pictured below), declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1999 (a 45min. ferry ride each way). Here you will tour the island and visit the museum.
The group will then be transferred back to the hotel for free time.
Dinner is on your own. Take time to go down Long Street into the center of the city (approx. 10 minutes by taxi), or visit GreenPoint, a cool area. Camp's Bay, which is in a more ritzy area with open terraces and clubs (approx. 10 minutes by taxi in the other direction) is another option to explore. Lastly, the waterfront is also easily accessible for those who would like to return.
Monday, March 11th: Breakfast at the hotel. You will be met by your guide and transferred to Cape Point (pictured above) which is on the southwestern tip of Africa. There you may spot migrating whales, walk the ship wreck trail, or ride the funicular up to the viewing point. Visit Africa's most southwesterly point where the cold Benguela Current of the Atlantic Ocean and the warm Agulhas Current of the Indian Ocean merge. Situated in the Table Mountain National Park, a natural World Heritage Site, you will be treated to the stunning views over the two oceans from the steep sea cliff. You will be able to take a scenic walk towards the lighthouse (approx. a 20 min. walk up) or enjoy one of the numerous nature trails in the scenic landscape.
There will be a break for lunch on your own (free time) and then you will be transferred to Boulders Beach (pictured below) where you can observe the colony of African Penguins in their natural habitat. You'll walk along an elevated pathway that ends on the beach, getting a good view of the penguins without disrupting their habitat.
The group will then be transferred back to the hotel. Your guide will meet you later in the evening to take you to dinner at a fancy African restaurant for a sophisticated African dinner. You will enjoy a buffet dinner with local entertainment experience -- get ready for some amazing African drumming! After dinner you will be transferred back to the hotel.
Tuesday, March 12th: Breakfast at the hotel then take the optional wine tour (there is an additional charge for this outing) or enjoy a free day to hike to Lions head, laze on the beach or stroll the local markets.
OPTIONAL WINE TOUR ($90 per person): This full day tour takes you into the winelands region of the Cape where you will visit the areas of Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch know around the world for their exquisite wine farms set in amazing scenery. Along the way you will have a chance to sample some of the best wine on offer in South Africa.
The first stop will be in Paarl for an educational cellar tour of the famous KWV Cellars as well as a wine tasting. The scond stop is at Fair View Wine Estate where you can taste some wine and cheese. You then move across to Franschhoek, the culinary capital of The Cape where you will visit the old quaint vineyard of Chamonix. A winelands tour is not complete without a stop in Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa and home to the most national monuments of any town in South Africa. Here you will have the opportunity to walk the oak tree lined avenues taking in the charm and beautiful Cape-Dutch architecture. The Stellenbosch wine tasting is done at Tokara, a vineyard with one of the most captivating views in the winelands.
All transportation, guide, 3 wine tastings, 1 cheese tasting and a cellar tour are included. Meals and tips are not included.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sun block and a hat. It is also recommended to bring a warm top.
Wednesday, March 13th: Breakfast at the hotel will be early this morning. Check out of the PortsWood Hotel and depart for Johannesburg. You will be met by your guide and transferred to the airport for your flight to Johannesburg.
Flight information: SA flight #314 departing Cape Town (CPT)at 8:00am and arriving Johannesburg (JNB) at 10:00am.
photo taken by Namrata
Upon arrival in Johannesburg (pictured above), you will be met by your local guide and transferred to Soweto, where the tour will focus on the Apartheid history and you will visit the Nelson Mandela house. The house strives to be a world-class visitor attraction and a leading center for the preservation, presentation and research of the history, heritage and legacy of the Mandela family. The group will have lunch with a local family in Soweto.
The group will then be transferred back to the PH Melrose Arch Hotel (approx. a one hour drive) for free time and dinner on your own.
Thursday, March 14th: Breakfast at the hotel then check out around 9am. After breakfast we will take a scenic route (2 and a half hour drive) to Pilanesberg National Park where we will check into Bakgatla Bush Camp. Pilanesberg National Park is situated on the eroded remains of an extinct alkaline volcanic crater - one of only three in the world. The Park consists of numerous hills, wooded ravines and grassed open plains, making the area very picturesque. A wide diversity of eco-types makes a beautiful home for more than 35 species of large mammals, the sought-after " big five" and more than 300 bird species. The group will be accommodated in chalets, each with one double bed in main bedroom and three single beds in the loft. We'll enjoy an evening Safari game drive (approx. 3 hours) in open safari vehicles and then return to the lodge for a buffet dinner.
***Pilanesberg is in a Malaria-free zone, as opposed to the more widely known Kruger Park (also a 6-hour drive away as opposed to the 2 and a half hour drive to Pilanesberg), so no anti-malarial medications will be needed.***
Friday, March 15th: Early wake up today for a morning game drive around 6am (for approx. 3 hours) and then return to the lodge for breakfast. Spend the day relaxing at the pool or taking advantage of the other amenities at the lodge, then enjoy another evening game drive leaving at around 5pm (for 3+ hours), and culminating in a Bush barbeque! This will be the last night at the Bakgatla Bush Camp.
Saturday, March 16th: Breakfast at the lodge. Check out and depart for Johannesburg. We'll make a stop at the Chameleon Village (with tourist shops and restaurants) for lunch on your own and some free time, and then we'll be dropped off at the airport by 3pm for our flight home.
Return: Saturday, March 16th, 2013, from Johannesburg (JNB) at 6:10pm on SA flight #207 and arriving in Washington Dulles (IAD) at 6:25am on Sunday, March 17th, 2013.
Sunday, March 17th: Early morning arrival at Washington Dulles (IAD).

I picked up the small, blackened disc from the sand and gently rubbed at its surface. There looking back at me was the image of King George III of England. I had found my first treasure -the stuff dreams are made of! To actually hold in my hand one of these legendary coins and to know that the last person to touch it had died over 195 years ago, on a stormy night on September 1, 1785, was an extraordinary feeling. This was truly a gift from the sea.
My introduction to the unique and fascinating world of our maritime heritage came in 1980. After a year-long search, I finally recovered that first coin, which changed my life forever. I suddenly realized that I not only had been given the chance to shake hands with history, but that now I was also challenged with the task of preserving this artifact, as well as sharing it's story with others.
Over the past 30 years I have had the unique thrill of researching, searching, and recovering artifacts from shipwrecks and colonial sites. Each of the thousands of artifacts that I have recovered has a story to tell. A story that informs us of what life was like hundreds of years ago. By studying these artifacts, we can get an overview of what life was like centuries ago. By studying the past we can better cope with the present. By teaching the past we open doors to the future.
Since the opening of DiscoverSea Shipwreck Museum eleven years ago, thousands of visitors have passed though its doors. Now that the collection has been given back to the public, through its exhibits, I feel that the artifacts can now again finally tell their stories. I hope that everyone, who leaves DiscoverSea Museum, will leave with a better understanding of our great Maritime Heritage. I pledge to you, our Museum guest, that you will always see something new and exciting.
One of DiscoverSea Museum's Research and documentation task is keeping track of our Maritime history, not only as it happened in the past, but as it unfolds in our present time. The information that we gather is only half of our goal. Sharing that information with the public insures that the history that is being gathered will live on for many generations.
Someone once said, in effect, that he, who is ignorant of his past, is forced to repeat it. Looking at our Maritime and Colonial history through the artifacts and research that we uncover, we can't help noticing certain parallels between that time and this. The world conflicts of today are all too familiar to one who has made a study of similar postures taken by Spain, England, Holland, and the middle European countries during the 17
and 18
We might take as an example what happened to Spain as a result of her over-dependence on the products of other countries. With all that money, Spain went into a decline, which has only begun to recover since her incorporation into the European Union. One can only hope that our country's leaders are students of the past.
DiscoverSea Museum's first responsibility is to advance an understanding and appreciation of the natural and cultural commonwealth of our collections through education. Our goal is to teach the public the knowledge that we have gained through our findings. We will teach the importance of proper archaeology and how it affects our knowledge of any site. We will consider everyone who enters DiscoverSea an archaeologist (amateur or professional), as long as they are willing to follow the guidelines of proper archaeology and have the willingness to learn.

Media 'ban' on snatched Cape boy
The family of a kidnapped Cape Town boy have appealed to the public to stop spreading rumours that could endanger the child's life.
The family of 12-year-old Nayati Moodliar, who was snatched as he walked to school in Malaysia with his sister on Friday, made the appeal yesterday.
Nayati was abducted as he walked to the Mont' Kiara International School.
His father, Shamelin, is a South African and his mother, Janice, is Dutch.
Yesterday family member Anushia Moodliar, of Cape Town, said the family has agreed to "a media blackout''.
Anushiatold the Sunday Times that she had been in contact with the South African High Commission in Malaysia.
"There is no reason why these men should kidnap Nayati. We are all very worried about this situation ... family members are in disbelief,'' she said.
The family, on the Facebook page "Please help us to find Nayati Moodliar", posted: "The speculation and rumours on the internet can actually hinder Nayati's return, so we urge everyone to please not post anything which is speculation-based.
"The Moodliar family are extremely grateful for all the support.''
Yesterday headmaster, Walter Morris, on the school's website, also called for those using social media to raise awareness about the Grade 7 pupil's abduction, to be careful.
Clayson Monyela, spokesman for the Department of International Relations and Cooperation, said the child entered Malaysia on a Dutch passport, "making him a Dutch citizen''.
"Accordingly, the Dutch are playing a primary role on the case. South Africa is playing a secondary role given his parent's citizenship,'' said Monyela.
A Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman declined to say what his government was doing to secure the boy's return.

The first question from both of them was: who are you playing with now and can I hear a recording of you? I understand where they're coming from - one is a youth pastor but has a solo acoustic career on the side, and the other toured with Rebecca St. James. So I'm definitely getting the "who's this no-name guy?" treatment. It's frustrating because our church has to pay most of the guitarists that play on Sundays...at a time when we're having budget problems and reducing staff. So why wouldn't they want to look at having members who are equally talented, but also committed to the church, play guitar for worship? In any case, the questions have prompted me to do two things:
1. Look outside my church for opportunities to play guitar during worship. My cousin is WP of a smaller church nearby, and he is always asking me to come play there.
2. Think about recording an EP of my solo acoustic stuff (which I was planning to do anyway).
Apparently in my church you need to be a big deal in order to even get an audition...
So you have someone ASKING you to come play and minister and instead you're butting your head up against a "too cool for you" wall at some big church with 10 players who think they're hot stuff? Get out, go play for your cousin and don't look back.
You've got a wide open door. Run through it!

So if you speak french there's two videos on Dell's site about SBS 2011 essentials.
You'll have to pardon me as I get back into the swing about blogging on virtualization. Right now my HyperV test server is in the back of my MINI boot to go back to the office for tomorrow's Fresno user group meeting on Server 2012 topics. I rebuilt my HyperV over the Memorial day weekend to be based on Windows 8 server so we could have a hands on server and demo box for the meeting tomorrow night. Yes I do realize that there's another version slated to come out next week (according to the OEM Microsoft web site and other reports) so I may be rebuilding that OS once more. One thing of interest I found that I had to use a legacy nic for a Server 2003 box. So we may have support issues with Server 2003's inside of HyperV 2012 boxes. We'll have to see what's up with that later on with the RC stuff.
... so one the questions that comes up on various listserves is about putting a SSD drive as the bootable C drive.
I don't know... I have put a SSD into my baby laptop and I guess I'm still old fashioned in that I want a good couple of years burn in and evidence before I'm ready to rip out RAID and redundant drives on servers. I don't reboot a server that often, so I remain to be convinced if having SSD drives as the C drive is what we should all be doing. That said my benchmark is a laptop. An OLD laptop that can't even run Windows 8 so I don't have any real world experience to base my blogging off of, other than just a thought of ...can I see the mean life of those drives in a few years and get back to you?
More reading - http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html
You get get the benefit of an SSD in Dell servers without losing the capacity or reliability of your existing RAID array. I've done it a number of times with excellent results.
Only a small subset of the Dell PERC controllers support the technology known as CacheCade, but it uses the SSD as a cache for all drives (not just the boot volume) and provides a very decent performance boost (for Exchange in particular)
I blogged about adding SSD to a Dell PE R510 here:
and here is a post from from StorageReview which shows some of the performance benefits:
The raid controller is intelligent enough to determine if the SSD is unreliable.
For Hyper-V box seems as a supported scenario to run even from usb flash - nullsession.com/.../running-hyper-v-server-2008-r2-from-usb
and an informative article from anadtech - www.anandtech.com/.../a-look-at-enterprise-performance-of-intel-ssds
Hi Susan,
Please have a look at your sources before posting links that supposedly provide a more in-depth reading of the matter. The "Are SSDs Ready For The Data Center?" at Coffetalk is so full of errors that it's not even funny anymore. This is also mentioned in the comments of said article. And the worst part: No benchmarks, long term tests, or real-life experiences to support any of his claims. This article is a rant based on false information, nothing else.
To come back to your article - I'm also a little hesitant to use SSDs in a server environment yet. However, the Dell T110-machines (awesome small servers otherwise) only support non-registered ECC RAM, which basically means that they're currently limited to 16GB without paying an unreasonable premium. That's a bit small for an SBS 2011 with 25+ users. Throw in 2 SSDs (mirrored) for the OS, and the thing just flies without having to replace the whole server.
No server should ever have unregistered RAM. 16GB of memory will have 1-2 parity errors a year on average. This defies the entire point of having a server: reliability of your data.
The Intel SSDs we have used for 3+ years now have proved themselves: They have never died, under heavy workstation use. As long as you RAID them you should be fine. Be sure to get a Server-specific approved AND SSD approved controller. Be sure to get a controller with several generations of firmware/driver updates that are mature and stable. Read the support forums for the manufacturer gotchyas. You don't ever want cutting edge (newer than 6 months) for your storage subsystems.
If you're doing this in a production environment with company data, there are more than a few issues:
First, the Z68 chipset isn't designed for servers. It's a consumer chipset. Next, you need to install iRST which is not designed to run on Windows Server, and I don't trust the stability of Intel's consumer control panel applications to run on a production server either (for those that even install).
Also, if you're buying a caching drive, skip the ones that are called "Solid State Cache Drive's" because they use a piece of software called Dataplex which has two qualms: a) it's a consumer SSD caching software, not for server use, and b) it doesn't support UEFI or GPT-formatted drives, so it's useless for >2TB drives (that will have to change for Windows 8, and I contacted them and they say that they will update it "after Windows 8 ships").
If you're looking for a proper drive with the lifespan to last through heavy caching, like for SQL transactions and such, make sure it's an enterprise SSD. HighPoint has some new cards designed for SSD caching with multiple drives for RAID, and they support Windows Server 2008+: www.highpoint-tech.com/.../series_RC3240X8.htm
Be wary of the software that a lot of caching
My comment got cut off for some reason...
The last point should have said:
Be wary of the software that a lot of caching cards use because a lot of them will use web-based interfaces, and often that means that they use MySQL or some other database system to catalog reports and stats. I don't know about you, but I'd hate to have to install software like at on a server. Hardware cards that don't require said software are much more ideal IMO. I haven't used any of the HighPoint RocketCache cards, but I have used the RocketHybrid desktop card (they all use Marvell controllers) and the software stinks! Luckily there's a workaround: Install the software package so that everything goes on, then just uninstall it. The drivers will remain installed on the system if the card is present, and it still provides caching functionality internally. The extra web interface software that gets removed during uninstall is just for you to monitor usage or override the automatic caching and tell it to cache specific folders. It isn't necessary. The RocketHybrid is an AHCI controller, but it includes some kind of funky firmware that requires a driver, and that driver is only in the web software package. The RocketCache cards are full Marvell RAID controllers though, so they require an out-of-box driver. I don't know if they also have that same type of firmware as the RocketHybrid card.
I have to giggle at some of the remarks here. Quite a lot make good sense, but they still seem to contradict each other because they're talking about different things.
One server isn't another server.
I can imagine some people saying that they want to battle-test their hardware for three years, and that server shouldn't have unregistered ram. For such servers (or admins) there are very few options available that suit their needs, with SSD's.
However, for an SBS server, for a company that has 5-15 workstations, SSD's are great. Even in combination with "consumer" solutions like Z68 chipsets.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of the Z68 solution, because it's a compromise to either save a few bucks, or save having to use an extra harddisk. But for a small server, if you get two intel SSD's, even 320/330 series, and put them in RAID0, you will have an *immensely* fast system, compared to using 7K2/10K/15K mechanical disks or only a few hunderd bucks extra (compared to 7200rpm disks) or actually saving money (compared to SCSI).
And for quite a few servers that are small, not meant to be very expensive and for a small office (this would seem where SBS feels at home), a few SSD's in a server can be just wonderful.
...name some solid-state drive manufacturers that are certifying their drives for RAID use. There aren't many let me tell you.
If any drives are certified for RAID, it's going to be the enterprise ones, but check first. You should treat RAID'ed SSD's like you do hard drives too: don't RAID them unless they are certified or else you could drop an array pretty easily. Remember that it's altogether possible that two SSD's could be made with memory chips with different timings, or different variants of the same controller. ALWAYS match the firmware of RAID'ed SSD's, and update it to the latest version because updates always fix bugs on these things. Any deviation can cause the array to lose sync, much like standard desktop hard drives.
I certainly don't buy the idea of running a hypervisor from an internal USB stick either. To me, that sounds like one of the dumbest ideas that server board manufacturers thought up. A USB stick has a very limited number of reads and writes until the memory chips degrade, and I think to myself: "gee, do I want the most important pieces of code for my consolidated server running on the most unreliable storage medium available today - which basically replaces the obsolete, yet equally buggy click-of-death-prone Zip disk?".
I've pondered this and have also decided that SSD is just too unknown at this time to use as a primary drive. Most enterprise use of SSDs are inside of storage arrays where there is redundancy - and I think that's telling.
If I were to pursue an SSD with my SBS server I would probably go down the LSI CacheCade Pro path. It allows me to upgrade my existing LSI RAID controller and add up to four SSD drives for caching. My existing storage volumes are untouched, my data still primarily resides on rotating disk - it just gets much faster!
If the SSD "dies" I'm not out anything. If I only have one, my performance degrades to what it was before I added the SSD to cache. Very safe.
If I were to go all SSD, it would have to be in some sort of RAID - either internal to the server or as part of a storage array, and that get's cost prohibitive quickly! I think solutions like LSI's where you can add SSD cache to an existing RAID array are the best compromise, especially for the SMB market. To me, Intel's chipset base solution is interesting but since it's aimed at desktops and not servers I really don't think it's relevant. I'd be worried about driver and data reliability issues. Especially with disk IO and SBS, I've learned it doesn't pay to cut corners - stick to hardware and software designed and certified for use with servers!
I'm not sure where the one poster who expressed concern that web based management consoles often install their own SQL server - all the enterprise tools from Dell, HP and IBM that I have used from general server management interfaces to RAID card management interfaces (even 100% "Hardware" RAID) do similar things and it's been working fine for decades now...
@Joe"I certainly don't buy the idea of running a hypervisor from an internal USB stick either. To me, that sounds like one of the dumbest ideas that server board manufacturers thought up. A USB stick has a very limited number of reads and writes until the memory chips degrade"
Er, the whole point of a hypervisor environment is all you do is get it up. Once up, there shouldn't be ANY writes, and very few if any reads. It's perfect for this application which is exactly why you see Intel, Microsoft, VMWare and motherboard manufacturers supporting it.
All of those companies wouldn't support it if it didn't make sense. And even if it does fail, the hypervisor isn't the critical part of your system - the VMs are. Hypervisors can be recreated very quickly from scratch - even more quickly if you have a backup. You do still backup, right?

The next S.C.C.A.T. meeting will be held at Tum Tum Community Center on August 7th at 7 pm.
Mr. Webster (AKA The Dictionary) defines a bully as a person who hurts, frightens, or tyrannizes over those who are smaller or weaker. Bullying can be verbal, physical harm, cyberbullying, harassment or intimidation. Bullying can be physical, such as hitting, kicking, stealing from another person, ruining a persons possessions, or verbal such as: name calling, threats, insults, sexual remarks, making up rumors. or humiliation, often in front of others. Cyberbullying can be just as harmful, as a widespread audience learns of the bullying against the victim much quicker using the internet. Washington State passed a Cyberbullying Law in 2008.
Bullying can happen at schools, on school buses, playgrounds, inside the students home or walking home from school. Boys mostly use physical bullying and girls are verbal when bullying. Teens may feel that cyberbullying is less harmful than person to person bullying.
A person being bullied may withdraw from attending school, refrain from playing with friends, have unexplained illnesses, drop out of usual activities, use drugs, think about running away, have reduced self esteem, become depressed and may think about suicide.
If your child seems depressed, tell them you are concerned and ask them to tell you why they are depressed. Be a good listener and let them do the talking. It is of major importance that you listen to your children.
Youth suicides outnumber youth homicides in Washington State. Twenty-six percent of all 10th graders probably would not seek adult help and more than 30% indicated that they did not have adults they could turn to if they were feeling sad or depressed. (Youth Suicide Prevention Program)

Media: Press Releases, Commentaries, Op-Eds
Media Advisory: For Immediate Release
NEW YORK, Dec. 20, 2010 – The Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, saying its message is "especially pointed during the holiday season," today called on companies to show sensitivity to all types of diverse families when developing their marketing campaigns.
Today's statement from the Adoption Institute is being issued in response to complaints from adoptive family members – on websites and to the Institute itself – about two specific advertisements.
One is a television commercial in which a mother is trouncing her family members in a game of Sony PlayStation golf; in an effort to undermine her, they try distractions such as rattling keys and running a blender, and then the grandfather (presumably her father) says, "You're adopted." The second is an ad for Johnnie Walker whiskey, running in subway systems in the metro-NY area; in it, a man tells his sibling: "We only shake hands. We call each other once a month max. I still think you're adopted. And although I'd rather streak across a crowded stadium than tell you this – you're a great little brother."
The Adoption Institute reached out to representatives of both companies by email and phone to explain why such references to adoption can be construed as negative, and to ask that they not be used.
A spokeswoman for Diageo, the company that produces Johnnie Walker, responded quickly, explaining the advertisement, which has limited distribution through the end of the month, was not intended to be insulting and apologized for any offense it may have caused. In response to the Institute's outreach, she said the brand team agreed that unnecessary references to adoption won't be used in the future. The Institute is grateful to Diageo for its response, which sets a positive example of how a corporation can act swiftly and responsibly when notified of a potentially problematic issue.
"We're not saying anything deliberate was done to cast adoption in a negative light, but some concepts and wording just aren't well thought through," said Adam Pertman, the Institute's Executive Director. "Would the same ads be acceptable if they had referred to someone's gender, race or another aspect of identity? Was alternate wording considered so as not to risk being taken as offensive?"
Among its programs and projects, the Institute works with corporations to improve their adoption-related benefits and policies, including helping them to promote their products in ways that are sensitive to the broad array of family types in our country today. For much of the past century, adoption was cloaked in secrecy, stigma and shame; that has largely changed, but inadvertently insensitive societal messages (including advertisements) can and often do feel hurtful to children and their families.
"It's not just about adoption, but about leveling the playing field so that everyone is treated equally and respectfully," said Pertman. "That message is obviously important year-round, but it's especially pointed during the holiday season, when we're all focused more sharply on children and families."
The Adoption Institute is the pre-eminent research, policy and education organization in its field. Its mission is to provide leadership that improves laws, policies and practices – through sound research, education and advocacy – to better the lives of everyone touched by adoption.

Reasons: Fothergilla major is rare throughout its range of five southeastern states (disjunct in Arkansas). This taxon does occur in a national protected area in Tennessee and at least two state parks in North Carolina.
Comments: Fothergilla major has a somwehat limited range and number of known occurrences, making it vulnerable to land-use conversion, habitat fragmentation, and forest management practices; conversion of natural forests to commercial forest land has probably impacted the species (Southern Appalachian Species Viability Project 2002). Habitat is unsuitable for most uses (Tennessee Element Ranking Form, Edwin Bridges, 1983).
Fothergilla major
Fothergilla major (mountain witch alder) is a species of flowering plant in the Hamamelidaceae family, native to woodland and swamps in the Allegheny Mountains of southeastern United States. It is a deciduous shrub growing to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) with fragrant white bottlebrush flowers appearing along with, or before, the glossy leaves. The leaves often turn brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn.[1]
This plant is named for John Fothergill (physician). The Latin specific epithet major means "larger".[2] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]

We plan to use it for quantum chemistry programs (Gaussian, Gammes). Here are my questions: does anybody have any experience with this motherboard, and can anybody recommend me any other suitable motherboard (for example A7M266)? Then, is it better to use DDR RAM or SDRAM? I'm also interested to find out may I use Portland compiler on this AMD based configuration?

Feed My Starving Children — DQ® Cares
Posted by Carolyn K under In the Community on
Like so many people in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, we here at IDQ were looking for ways to make a difference and to help. On Thursday, Feb. 4, and Friday, Feb. 5, 45 corporate employees of International Dairy Queen, Inc. (IDQ) volunteered at the Feed My Starving Children site in Chanhassen, Minn.. We packed a total of 78,336 meals during those two days!
In addition to the meals that we packed, IDQ made a donation to Feed My Starving Children to help defray the cost of ingredients and packaging of the food. It was a great experience and so rewarding to know what a difference a few hours of our time can mean to children and families in Haiti and other countries!
If you are interested in learning more about Feed My Starving Children, visit their website at http://www.fmsc.org or check out their Facebook page.
We have a strong Community Service Team here at the Dairy Queen corporate headquarter in Minneapolis, and in addition to the year-round work IDQ does on behalf of Children's Miracle Network, we are always looking for new opportunities to serve in our community. In fact, "Service" and "Supporting our Community" are two values the entire IDQ team holds dear.
What are you and your families, or the companies you work for, doing to make a difference? I know that there are more good deeds happening than are ever noted in the media!
