Guide to Proper Case Airflow Design Airflow and case circulation: Airflow: Rule #1 - Airflow is best if it can flow in one direction only and it is always better off (stays stronger) flowing in a straight line of sight direction if possible. Also always cut out a hole where you mount a fan, never mount it behind those predrilled "cheese grater" holes for fans or you won't get any kind of good airflow. cutting out the opening for the fan can increase airflow by as much as 70% more then the fan trying to get air to pass thru the holes. the newer and larger openings and fan grill designed cutouts are ok but if you aren't sure then test them by feeling the airflow with the fan outside the case then in the case and if its unrestricted you shouldn't be able to tell the difference. Redrill all those small holes in the vents at the back of the case with a 3/16" drill bit to increase air from that spot and if you have the larger hexagon shaped holes that are already larger then it should be ok the way it is. another thing to note is noise, a fan is always louder when mounted onto some type of a stamped metal grill then with it just mounted over an open hole, sometimes its way louder. Heat: Rule #2 - Heat naturally rises so to remove heat the easiest and most efficient way it is best to draw air in from the cases lowest points and exhaust it from the cases highest points. The Direction of Airflow: The airflow can be directed into the case from a few different ways as long as you remember rules 1 & 2 above. The most common setup for cases is to intake air from the bottom front and exhausted out the top and back. The reason they do it this way is it takes best advantage of rules 1 & 2 above. The air is drawn in from the coolest point (bottom front) and moves in a lazy "S" upwards to flow across the motherboard and CPU and then carry the heat from the case out the rear exhaust fans (top rear and psu fans). Fans: Side fans - side fans can and do interfere with this "S" flow of air so keep this in mind if you're thinking of a high cfm side fan. It may improve cooling in one spot and allow a "dead spot" for airflow somewhere else. Side fans are great cooling aids for direct cooling but reek havoc on proper airflow thru the case because they just cause the air to flow in a circular pattern and the heat has trouble leaving the case so it makes one spot cooler while making everything else in the case constantly stay warmer so while side fans can be helpful, don't go overboard with the cfms. To reduce the interference from side fans most cases use air ducts to direct the cool air right into the CPU fan so it will not interfere with airflow through the case so side fans should never be used without air ducts to prevent the whirlpooling of the case airflow. Video Cooling: VGA - the video card area tends to be a dead spot for airflow. This is why they have fans now that exhaust hot air directly out the back of the case. Adding a side fan blowing cool air into this bottom corner helps "stir" the air so heat doesn't get trapped there and it can rise up and be exhausted by the rear fan. This works well as long as you don't over do it to the point that it will interfere with the vga cooling fan and the airflow going through the heat sink. Just remember the fan is there to stir and mix the air in that bottom corner dead spot and that's all. It should not blow high cfms directly across the heat sink or its fan or you could actually reduce its cooling ability by canceling out the airflow moving across and though the heat sink. you also don't want to mess with the airflow coming from the front of the case so its important to use lower cfm fans if you want to add more cooling to that area. Balanced Airflow: Push / pull or Fan In / Fan Out System - It's not as easy as just having your fan cfms and sizes matching in the front and rear because they don't always give you evenly balanced airflow through your case due to obstructions and things like side fans or large video card fans that exhaust inside the case. This is because it is a lot harder for a fan to pull air into a case then to blow it out of the case so you need a little more cfms from your exhaust fans to equal out the airflow and help the intake fans to draw in air easier so don't just assume two 80mm 45cfm fans in the front and two 80mm 45cfm fans in the rear will give you a balanced airflow, they wont but it should be close enough that you don't really notice it. Positive Pressure Airflow System: More Air in Than Air Out - the benefit to this type of system is supposed to be that it pulls in less dust than a negative airflow system but this is a false idea. Weather the fan draws the air in or directly blows it in it is still the same air from your room with the same amount of dust in it. If your room is dusty your case will be dusty. A simple air supply test is to just check the amount of air your system is exhausting through the small holes in the back of your case, if you can feel a gentle draft coming out then you are restricted and should adjust the airflow by reducing the cfms of your intake fans or making bigger exhaust openings to balance things out. Negative Pressure Airflow System: More Air Out Than Air In - the benefit to this type of system is they are quieter because they have slower fans that move less cfms so they run quieter. one main disadvantage is because of the slower airflow it can build up heat quickly if the airflow is restricted in any way so you need to be sure you don't block the case air intakes and the first time you test your system with the new airflow design its best to check your temperatures are in the safe ranges during heavy gaming activity when heat can build up quickly. Often people will use fan controllers to speed up fans for better but noisier cooling while gaming and yet turn them down to still have a nice quiet computer when they are just doing normal computing activities. Why does a positive airflow system get less dusty than a negative airflow system? Both systems have the exact same amount of dust moving through them but it tends to settle on things in a negative airflow system more, only because the air is moving slower. Think of a fan blowing feathers around in a small room, as long as the fan keeps blowing fast they all stay airborne but put the fan on slow speed and everything will be covered in feathers. The same applies to dust in your computer, it is the airflow "inside" the computer that determines how fast your computer gets dusty. You can reduce dust building up by putting a fan inside the case just to keep the air stirred up so dust won't settle and it can then be exhausted out the back of the case by the fans but then everything in the case would have poorer cooling because of this air whirlpool going on. Air Supply Test: A simple air supply test is to just check the amount of air your system is exhausting (rear exhaust fan) and also checking the air your psu is exhausting is to just remove the side cover on your computer. It will always move more air with the door open so if you notice only a little difference then you are fine but if you notice a big difference then you may need to investigate where your restriction is and provide a larger or less restrictive air intake opening. A person with high cfm exhaust fans who doesn't have proper sized intake openings for his case can actually cause a slight vacuum inside the case and prevent the psu from getting enough air because it is being held back by that vacuum causing the psu to overheat. Some PSU that have high cfm fans can have the reverse effect and cancel out the rear exhaust fans ability to remove air from the case. Most problems people have with negative airflow systems are with the proper sizing of cfms and the size of the fans and not the negative airflow design itself. If you aren't over clocking, a properly designed negative pressure airflow system will always work great with just a large 120mm rear exhaust fans only and no intake fans at all unless spot cooling is needed for a hot spot. It just needs to have an unobstructed opening (no cheese grater holes blocking the front fan spot or air filter) that is equal to or bigger than the total size and shape of the exhaust fan openings. If for example, if you have two 80mm exhaust fans (plus the 80mm psu fan) then you need an unobstructed opening that is equal to four 80mm holes with open grills. This won't work with filters because with the extra restriction of the filters you don't get proper airflow. it also works fine with just one 120mm rear fan and the openings for the 80mm side fan and 80mm front fan will allow more then enough air in to have good balanced airflow. in this situation you would only cut out the front fan cheese grater grill not the side fan because it isn't needed and it looks better. Another overlooked obstruction is the front panel cover; it can restrict airflow no matter how big the opening is behind it so test with and without the front panel in place to see if you need to cut back the plastic in an out of sight spot such as the bottom edge or if need be then air must be brought in from a different place (maybe the bottom case panel).
Something that may also be a factor is; Avoid A fan on one component blowing hot air into the intake of the fan on another component. It's not that common but I have allready encountered this a few times.
this was mentioned in #4 and $5 but maybe i should have addressed it in its own paragraph this is a common mistake because people think putting a fan in the side panel duct blowing into the cpu will always help but if they are different cfms they can actually interfere with each other and cool a lot worse. for my case i put just one 120mm exhaust fan up on the top centered between the psu and dvd drive blowing up and i opend all the pci slots and cut out the front fan area so it draws from the front up over my ram and from the rear accross my video card then up over the board. the psu removes any heat leftover in that corner. the cpu cooler stirs everything up real good so i barely get over room temps with a prescott!! quiet as a whisper too.
One case in particular was a CPU HS feeding it's hot air directly into the air intake of vga card due to the improper instalation of a chipset fan.(hot air from cpu was deflected by chipset fan into vga card, turning chipset fan around to blow the other way solved a 7° rise in vga card temp).
Some? Screw that.... It needs to be all pictures.... with pop ups.... and flames..... and things that jump out and say "You have just won a free iPod Nano"......
I don't know about the "high airflow = less dust settling" theory! The most dust in my setup is directly in the path of the fan, both inside the case for the intake fan, and on the wall behind the rear fan. I think that a positive internal pressure would assist in keeping the internals of the case dust free because it would enable you to control the opening that air goes in, and provide filtering. Any other opening will have air going out because of the positive air presure, and therefore, unfiltered air cannot enter the case. And the less you have to open your case to clean out the dust, the less likely you are to introduce faults into your system.
extra info. positive presure inside a case will aid in cooling because theres more air in a given area for heat to dispearse into. this does not mean a positive system is the only way to go. i myself still use a negative system and there are advantages to it. Positive systems tend to pool up the air a bit and make the air flow not as good. especially in a case where there is a bend in the air flow. the "S" curve in cases can cause eddies and hotspots to form. Negative presure systems are a little easier to direct airflow, a slight vacuum will help pull air through all areas of a case. side panel fans can be a gracing or a curse, serious consideration needs to be taken. one good example is a side panel fan directly over the back edge of a video card. the video card must hav a rear case exhaust for this to be best. you will then pull outside air into the video card and push it out of the case. this will disrupt the air flow inside the case in the most minimal way. proof, my cpu temperature with my side panel off my case runs at 56 degrees celcius. my cpu temperature with my side panel on my case never goes over 53 degrees celcius. im also now running an x2 3800+ at 2.8ghz. i use a negative design, 2 intake 80mm fans at very bottom front of case, my first and lowest exhaust fan is on the video card, then right at procesor height i hav 2 80mm case fans exhausting. and the psu fan is exhaust. now another very important part is i hav all the little holes sealed up and around the drive bay covers and stuff all sealed up. if air comes in my case it has to come through the front fan wholes, which are covered with a filter too, and filters do restrict a bit of airflow, again im pulling negative presure on the case to help make sure air gets sucked through the filter and not through some random case opening.
this is not caused by positive airflow but because the rate that air absorbs heat is a constant and the difference in the case ambient air temperatures is dictated by the amount of time the air actually spends inside the case. since in a positive airflow system the air spends less time inside of the case it therefore has less time in which to absorb heat from everything in the case so simple logic follows it has to have cooler ambient air temperatures at the time it leaves the case then if it were in a negative pressure airflow case were it would be moving much slower and picking up more heat in doing so. this does not mean either system will cool your components better than the other, this only effects case ambient temps and will not change the efficiency of heatsinks except for a very very minor effect (we are talking in tenths of 1 degree) as far as how fast say the cpu cooler can give off heat so only serious overclockers might care about such a small difference but then they mostly go with watercooling anyway. this just proves that you have better airflow through your case when the side panel is on, which is proof that you have a well designed case airflow system. but i disagree there is any more or less air depending on the type of airflow you use.
since when has that been around wile e? google keeps coming out with really nice and new services and doesn't even tell us wtf.
I don't really know. I saw it mentioned in the forums here the other day. I didn't know about it either, prior to that.
high PRESSURE will cool something faster then low presure even if the same air temperature and humidity are taken into consideration. something at sea level will cool quicker then something in the rocky mountains, again given equal air. now you are correct with the odds of being able to build enough of a pressure difference in a case for this too matter, but i was just trying to explain a bit about air density and pressures.
heat will cause a raise in pressure. but then that was totally not was i was saying in the first place, possibly we just arent understanding each other, and probably we r both right in a given instance. also rapid changes in presure are what creates the hot or cold effect, this isnt exactly what im refering to still though. how about this, denser air at the same static temperature compared to less dense air at the same static temperature (including humidity etc, etc) the denser air will cool something better then less dense air, assuming all other variables are the same. (incredibly more technical then i was trying to be in my original explenation) and yur right we hav straid a bit from this topic.
Good work! However , when I was a total beginner, I thought I would have 2 fans in the front sucking in air, and 2 at the rear blowing it all out. So I tried.. And uhm,I was not even amazed. On my new case I have 3 fans only, 1 rear,1 top, and one on the "window". All sucks the hot air out of the case. And now I can see a difference, one of them the Tt fan has adjustable speed, putting it on max really sucks the hot air out.

East Toledo is celebrating its proud Hungarian heritage this weekend.
The 39th annual Birmingham Ethnic Festival is underway.
This free family event features dancing, cultural displays, arts and crafts.
But the big draw for many is the delicious Hungarian food prepared by women in the neighborhood; hunky turkey, stuffed cabbage, palacsinta, gulyas, and, of course, chicken paprikas.
They say there's a secret in the recipe.
"Seasoning. Lots of seasoning. Start out with chicken, make the dumplings and mix it all together and you have chicken paprikas," said Betty Ujvagi.
The festival runs until 10 pm Saturday night and resumes Sunday at noon. The festival ends Sunday evening at 9 pm.

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) had a busy and exciting 2011, marked by a bevy of accomplishments, quick responses to foreign policy challenges, and a swath of new people-to-people exchange programs that help advance American standing and interests around the world.
Many of our most exciting programs responded to the needs and opportunities generated by changes in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. Throughout these regions, ECA bolstered English teaching and the Fulbright Program. We also added new International Visitor Leadership Programs to give rising leaders in countries like Tunisia and Libya a look at American entrepreneurship and democratic, transparent governance.
Our cultural and historical preservation work also helped raise the U.S. profile abroad. For instance we restored the historical citadel of Herat, our largest-ever Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation project. ECA and Embassy Baghdad staff helped provide $650,000 in private funding for the Iraqi Institute for Conservation of Antiquities and Heritage. We also compiled a list of 242 critical heritage sites in Libya, which NATO safeguarded during its efforts there. And in Europe, Secretary Clinton signed an ECA-implemented bilateral agreement with Greece to protect its cultural heritage.
ECA also continued to advance its perennial mission of engaging with youth, women, and other underserved audiences. We were particularly excited by TechWomen, a new initiative that welcomed 37 women from the Middle East and North Africa to Silicon Valley technology companies for month-long mentorships with key women leaders. In partnership with the five leading U.S. women's colleges, we also launched the Women in Public Service Project, which aims to build a future where women are at least half of the world's political and civic leaders. ECA also celebrated the 100th university of International Women's Day in March with 100 women leaders from 92 countries, and we saw a second thrilling year begin with the African Women's Entrepreneurship Program.
On the youth outreach front, the State Department has welcomed high school and university students from all over the world, ranging from three dozen Brazilian Youth Ambassadors in January to almost 500 Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program participants at the end of their time in the U.S. this summer. We also introduced the new J-1 Visa Exchange Visitor Program website and are reforming and better monitoring the programs that bring foreign students to the United States on J-1 visas.
To boost our internal efforts, ECA launched several new public-private partnerships that expand our outreach and technical capabilities. These included mEnglish, an English-teaching software program for cell phones in Tunisia that came about with the help of a local NGO and Tunisia's largest mobile service provider, reaching millions of subscribers.
Another exciting partnership is with the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. We teamed up with the Met to spread the show of respect for -- and interest in -- all cultures and faiths found in the recently reopened Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia. 270 U.S. embassies -- including 25 in the Arab world -- will display exhibit highlights, and our English-teaching classrooms will use the museum's educational materials.
ECA also managed the higher education, study abroad, and other academic components of strategic bilateral dialogues with Brazil, India, Indonesia, Russia, and others. We held exciting and productive higher education summits with India and Indonesia in Washington, D.C. and launched new programs and engagement efforts in each of these countries.
All in all, 2011 was a successful year for ECA and public diplomacy. Together, our programs helped the State Department to shape the foreign policy narrative and to foster mutual understanding among Americans and the international community.
When formal relationships between governments are tense, public diplomacy can often forge a way forward. ECA programs continue to support U.S. policy in high-priority countries: our programs are key parts of every major bilateral Strategic Dialogue, and the people-to-people connections that are at the heart of our mission strengthen and expand our relationships with our allies.

Money is a key ingredient for high-growth, job-creating companies. Traditionally women have shied away from using outside funding. As a result, their businesses have grown slowly and created fewer jobs.
But that seems to be changing. For the last two years, angel investors have funded more women-owned businesses than ever before – more than 1,600 per year ...
Newark, NJ: The historic "Gathering of Angels" at Rutgers Business School blessed minority entrepreneurs with many investment opportunities.

The historic "Occupy Wall Street" movement, which has permeated much of American society and spawned "Occupy" copycats across the country, has triggered a mantra: "We are the 99%."
The 99 percenters are people protesting the power of the 1 percent who control and manage much of the wealth, power and influence in America. But who are the Black 1 percent?
The Grio delves into that question. The answer might surprise you.

Most students are NOT performing at a level deemed 'proficient' in science
"Results issued (Jan. 25, 2011) for a revamped national assessment show 12th graders posting the weakest scores compared with their elementary and middle-level peers. Only one in five high school seniors scored at least proficient on the exam. Meanwhile, 34 percent of 4th graders and 30 percent of 8th graders were deemed proficient or better in science on the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress, known as 'the nation's report card.'"

I don't watch a lot of television anymore. This could be partially because of my busy schedule and partially because I decided not to invest in cable after moving to my apartment due to the internet being more important to me. Or it could very well be that the television shows they are coming out with these days are mostly garbage.
I am still a child at heart so for the majority of this column I would like to focus on the kids shows that are now airing compared to the shows that aired 15 years go. Growing up in the type of family I have, I was also exposed to T.V. shows from before my years of existence, which were actually probably even better than the shows my generation grew up on.
What made my childhood Saturday morning cartoons and TGIF Friday night programming even more enjoyable was two things. One, my sister was only three years older than me therefore she often shared the same taste in television and two, it was always a family gathering. I don't really remember ever being plunked down in front of the T.V. set for hours alone, my parents always joined and discussed shows with us.
Let's start off with a few of my old favourites. I am not sure how many of the readers remember Doug, but he was quite the hero around my elementary school playground. We all paraded around with our McDonald's Doug toys strapped to our knapsacks and discussed the episodes from the previous weekend. Doug Funnie was a recently relocated sixth grader in the fictional town of Bluffington. Most episodes often started with Doug writing in his journal about recent life events, and then the episode would be a flashback of said events that were narrated by Doug himself. I am pretty sure that I learned that boys didn't actually have cooties from this show, as Doug showed his affections towards my favorite character Patti Mayonnaise.
I don't want to continue all day with cartoons so I will just note a few of my favorites here without the descriptions. Every Saturday morning began with the run list entitled One Saturday Morning, which included watching the diverse group of hooligans in Recess. Pepper Ann which was a show I hated most days but, now that I look back on it, was quite educational. The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and of course it later went on to include the Weekenders, 101 Dalmatians and Lloyd in Space. This block of shows was cancelled in 2002 and replaced with ABC kids, which is where we stand now.
Now onto the family shows that brought my family together each Friday night. I think these types of shows have become an extinct species. If I am wrong, please fill me in on shows that compare these days. I love the older shows such as the Wonder Years and Alf; these were always funny but also educational and always had a life lesson at the end. And then there were the 90's shows such as Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, and of course my favorite show, Boy Meets World.
Boy Meets World was one for everyone. It had enough drama and relationships for the more dramatic emotional people, enough comedy for the ones who liked a good laugh, and enough life lessons for it to be child appropriate. Over the years, I quickly became attached to the characters and began to wish it would never end. Sadly after seven seasons it was time to say goodbye. This is one of the only shows where I can watch the DVDs of the seasons over and over and never get bored.
But, hey, maybe I am wrong. Maybe shows like this exist now and I just don't know about them yet. But until someone proves me wrong, I am ticked off about this generation's TV choices of "Reality" television stars and unnecessary violence amongst the cartoons. Sure we had Sailor Moon, Ninja Turtles, Original Power Rangers and Pokemon, but I can't say that the violence was ever the main topic in these. It seemed to me that there was always a life lesson as the main focus, with a few epic battle scenes mixed in.

Controlling Linux with voice input
Clear Statement
Simon is a sophisticated speech recognition tool with easy access to two powerful speech recognition engines, Julius and CMU Sphinx.
On Windows and Mac OS X, users have long grown accustomed to controlling the PC not just with the keyboard and mouse, but by voice. For several years, Linux has been playing catch-up. The nonprofit association "Simon Listens", founded by Franz Stieger, is the driving force behind the Simon speech recognition software.
The application, originally developed to give people with special needs access to barrier-free PC use, has been around for several years. The association still pursues this goal, but the developers have discovered some additional uses for the software, including verbal control systems that facilitate the use of modern communication technologies by the elderly or allow humans to control robots, wheelchairs, and lifts. However, if you are looking to dictate text to Simon, you will not be happy with the results and will need to look elsewhere.

sealing of records
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The requirement that trial records and court decisions must be kept under seal, in contrast to most other court records, which are available for public review. The records most commonly sealed are criminal records of underage offenders; cases might also be sealed if they involve inventions, proprietary business information, or national security.

So I had a problem where something was not working in a staging environment but fine in dev. So I wanted to compare about 300 tables in a database to a different copy of it to see if a table was empty somewhere that was causing the error. Still haven't found the error yet. Also, the reason I'm doing so is because I'm working with a proprietary API library that manages to obfuscate which tables are being called.
I was given a task of converting some aging reports to SSRS. Now as you know, you can't really do grouping in SQL based on a range. So something like that needs to be implemented in SSRS in the report writter instead. I have figured out that code for you. :)
First we need to copy this code into the report. From the report properties the first box will be for adhoc vb functions to add to the report. In general these functions should be added to a class and linked, either way this is the function you need.
Public Function GetBucket(parameter As parameter, days As Integer) As String On Error GoTo ProcError Dim s As String Dim i As Integer s = "" If parameter.IsMultiValue Then For i = 0 To parameter.Count - 2 If (parameter.Value(i) < days and parameter.Value(i+1) > days) Then GetBucket = Str(parameter.Value(i)) + " -" + Str(parameter.Value(i+1)) Exit Function End If Next End If GetBucket = parameter.Value(parameter.Count - 1) + "+" Exit Function ProcError: GetBucket = Err.Description End Function
After that, we will define a calculate field in our dataset.
Then set up a parameter, type integer, and allow mulitple values. Then we can just set some default values for our ranges.
Here is macro code for outlook to save all attachments of all selected email. It will prompt for a save directory and allow renaming of duplicate files.

Let me start off by apologizing for the older themes. I'm still new to CSS and web design. I had put a little bit of code at the top of all the old CSS files to reset margins and padding on all the elements. After research, I've determind that was a bad idea. I've removed it from all the themes and made adjustments to a few classes to keep layout the same. I did only a quick spot check though, so I may have missed something.
If you have an old theme, I strongly recommend you update it. Or if you notice anything really wierd, let me know and I will be glad to help in my free time.
Good news everybody, I'm releasing a modified version of an older theme. It has a little bit of CSS3 in it, but nothing to serious. It will still look fine on Internet Explorer if you're unfortunate enough to still be running it. I did however move some things around and changed up the comment layout for this one. There is also a special surprise for administators!

Nothing can explain this video, I think.
Blog Engine was updated to v1.6 last night. This morning I made the CSS changes and a few edits to all the themes. All the downloads how now been updated to v1.6 and removed the 1.5 versions.
Hey everyone, it's a new year and that means it's time to crank out some more themes. I'm going to start categorizing these themes a little better. Eventually I still want to do more with this site, but this is easier since I'm doing it partially for work anyways. Enjoy!
Hey everyone. In keep with my random release schedule, here is another theme. I tried to keep this one to a more minimal look. Again, I'm bad at naming these things. So I just called it SimpleGrey. It's modified/ported from themeforest.com link

Virgin Australia welcomes DOT's proposed approval of antitrust immunity with Delta
11/05/2011Virgin Australia Airlines (ASX: VBA) today welcomed the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT's) proposal to grant antitrust immunity (ATI) to its proposed joint venture with Delta Air Lines on the trans pacific route.
Receiving ATI is a key component of an integrated alliance between Delta and Virgin Australia Airlines, enabling the two airlines to provide guests with an expanded network of destinations, seamless connections, a more convenient flight schedule and more opportunities to earn frequent flyer points and access lounges.
Under the joint venture, the airlines will collaborate on route, schedule and product planning, codesharing on their respective networks, and provide frequent flyer program benefits and lounge access to customers of both carriers.
Virgin Australia Airlines CEO John Borghetti said: "We welcome the Department of Transportation's proposed approval of our application for antitrust immunity with Delta, following the detailed review that was conducted. Antitrust immunity will enable Virgin Australia and Delta to deliver a more attractive and competitive service for travellers in Australia and North America."
"The Delta alliance is a key plank in Virgin Australia's strategy to build an international network of airline partners that offers global coverage. Guests on our award-winning international airline V Australia will be able to connect seamlessly to Delta's extensive network of over 200 destinations in North America, including Canada and Mexico, and earn frequent flyer points in the process.
"The alliance will also be very positive for tourism in Australia, as there will be a clear incentive for both Delta and Virgin Australia to promote their product to a whole range of additional cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico", Mr Borghetti said.
Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson said: "Delta's relationship with Virgin Australia will be extraordinarily enhanced thanks to the DOT decision, which opens the doors to an expanded network that will make travel between and within the U.S. and Australia easier and more convenient for our customers.
"Both airlines worked very hard to provide the DOT with the required documentation, and we applaud their interest and attention during this process", Mr Anderson said.
The DOT is expected to make its final ruling following public comments on the proposal. If final approval is granted, the airlines will move quickly to implement the joint venture.

Try again. critic asked for a D one minute before you did.
From g747,humble thanks for my 1 million milestone. Be Blessed :)
Been missing you. Come on back, kick the can, and tell us what has been going on.
Hi mobal, thanks for the reply. I made the decision to put me a writing pad in my car so that when I see inaccurate postings I will try to take the time to stop & write down the info that is needed to report someone of inaccurate or bogus prices. I know that every now & then someone can accidently make a mistake & post a wrong price because I have done so myself but if I catch my mistake I try to correct it right then but there have been times when I didn't catch it until I got back home & just happen to notice that I made a honest mistake, but this knucklehead here "lowgaspriz", there is no doubt that he is purposely posting bogus prices. I will try to do my share of reporting him to GB so maybe we can get something done with him. Hope U Have Had A Great Weekend & an up coming work week. Keep Posting & Take Care. Oh, thanks for the buddy invite, I accepted.
Hi mobal, I noticed where you had left this knucklehead "lowgaspriz" a few post about his bogus price postings. I have noticed the same thing here lately. Just early this morning, he posted bogus prices at 2 locations that I noticed, one of them being Sam's Club. He is a real knucklehead! Evidently, he don't know that he is only getting so many points per day, LOL. Well, Have A Great Weekend. Thought I would write to you real quick. Take Care.
Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 600 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Your buddy, Warren :-)
Re next quote: Well, fortunately, I do have a pretty good sense of humor, so looking forward to seeing what the quote is - thanks for the heads up :)
OK, will wait until Saturday.Will meet you at the Red Panty bar middle of second block right hand side across from Red Snapper 11:30. I'l be wearing a Bronco cap and a burgundy colored golf shirt with a Elks emblem and "Ted"..
You picked up on my message. Thanks for the compliment.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and Blessings to you!

Do you mean comments about the 7970 not being enough of an improvement? I truly believe this, as I explained in my article and in the comments. If I'd had an AMD card, I would have been even more pissed off. Believe me, I want a reason to upgrade my card, no matter how new, fast or shiny it is, so I always want the new kid on the block to be substantially faster than what went before, be it nvidia, AMD or another brand - eg Intel I want to be at least a little unsatisfied with what I have and have that upgrade itch for the next big thing. The 7970 with its slight performance gain and noisy cooler is just so "meh". This is the hallmark of a true enthusiast!
Do you think that W1zz would have given it a 9 at this price point if it was as bad as you think it is? It sounds like you just skimmed the review to find the worst parts and ran with that as your official opinion. There are cases where this competes with the dual GPU cards as well. Not to mention the fact that we're still on beta drivers. I think that this is a much better card than you're giving it credit for. If these launch prices go down soon, it will be even better. Ok, enough of my rambling.
I maybe would have given it an 8. However don't quote me, as I've not actually physically played with the card and there's lots of intangibles and a general feel for how it performs which go into a rating. For example, the reviews mention that it's somewhat noisy and I see that it's got that same turbine as first seen on the 2900, which sounded awful (I've got one) therefore I'm concluding from reading it that the cooler is a disappointment and should be quieter or just acoustically less annoying. However, if I had reviewed it and noticed that it was a bit noisy, but the quality of that noise wasn't especially objectionable, then it wouldn't bother me especially. Heck, you can certainly hear my 580 when it gets going! (but the tonal quality isn't bad). A little bit of Unigine with vsync off really makes it spin up... Therefore, if W1zz reckons it's worth a 9, I won't argue that. No, I looked at the benchies on TPU and other sites and it's overall 10-15% faster than a 580, which I think is disappointing, given the 28 nm tech and the year-long gap between the two cards. I always find that excuse of "beta drivers" a little unconvincing. I mean, it's not like the GPU suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the driver team have to suddenly get to grips with a brand new GPU they don't understand. No, the driver has evolved with the card over a long period of time and should deliver pretty much all its performance from the get-go. Granted there's always glitches to be ironed out and a little more performance to be squeezed out, but that's what updates and continual development are for. The prices as you mention, of course, are the best part. Crucially, it beats the 580, which will force the price of both cards to become much more reasonable in a month or two and if we're lucky and maybe a little price war...
I won't be able to afford anything until February at the absolute soonest, so I'm hoping that we get some concrete details on the 600 series before then. The overclocking headroom on the 7970 is extremely nice and along with a driver that bumps this up 10%, this card is a beast. I don't think a 10% driver increase is out of the question or anything, so I'm looking forward to it.
Oh yeah, if someone was to purchase a card now, it most certainly should be considered, regardless of whether one expects it to have performed 'better' or not. It gives the 580 a good kicking and that's what really matters for competition. Just be sure to start a thread in February and I'll be even surer to stick my oar in with suggestions! EDIT: I've just created The HD 7970 overclocking thread
I wonder how the 7950 will perform and its pricepoint... If it is too high, I'll just go with the 78XX when they come out, but I really wanted a 79XX card lol. Hopefully the i7 3820 will OC well and I can buy an LGA 2011 quad setup with the new GPU tech
Hey q good post ,thanx!!! u do a lot of good work around here ,i appreciate it. i used to be an adventurer ,then i took and arrow to the "head" hahahaha gots to love it, honestly, whats wrong with a bit of controversy anyway,? it gets us all interested and talking, and thats a good thing isnt it? as for nvidia and amd, im glad they both exist, they spur each other on, and that leads to more power /better perf for us in the long run, there both great manufacturers in there own ways, h, im a bit pisd so,,,,,,,,,,, waak waak waak.=happy drunk new years for everyone[when it gets here]!
Nice read. On the whole 7970 topic, I wonder if some people checked their brains at the door. Drivers make a GPU, pure and simple. 7970 performance will go up as drivers mature, and they start to see more advanced games being played on them. Including the first titles to use DX11.1. As it sits today, the 580 does not beat out a 6970 by all that much, and a lot depends on the games in question. At least not considering the price difference between the two cards. Price to performance, the 6970 still tops the 580 in most gaming situations, FPS per Dollar. Also, AMD and Nvidia have the discrete GPU market just about split down the middle, neither can claim dominance over the other. Just look at the figures. Now we have AMD beating Nvidia to the next gen punch, this does not seem like much until you consider the drivers. They will have their cards out first, their drivers will be more "mature" by the time Kepler hits the shelves. Thats a big deal. You can also bet those supposed numbers they "leaked" will be about as accurate as the "leaked" AMD numbers. Nvidia only did that to top AMD, like most all leaked info like that, it's all marketing BS. Always has been. The fact of the matter is the next gen from both sides will top their current generation, that's a given, and that the competition between the two will continue. I personally think the same old story will hold true with this next generation as it did with the current generation. The market will be split right down the middle like it is now. The Nvidia cards will cost more than the AMD, yet not perform in most games high enough over the AMD counterparts to really justify the higher price tag if you go by the numbers and do the math. FPS per Dollar. The debate over the two sides will rage on. Fanboys on both sides will proclaim one winner over the other. In the end, it will all come down to personal preferences and what hype people buy into or blindly believe about one or the other. When in all reality, both sides make fantastic hardware that will power through any games on the market.
What exactly would be the point of releasing a competeing product (poss6-12 months) later if it wasnt going to be better(but for Even more money) ,i predict that after kepler comes out AMD will release an even better card and qubit is your alter ego intelnvidiaftw by any chance foor foot snake man i just love your new love qubit club too like the story tho dude and i will say ya get people talkin

By Amber HannekenStaff WriterSPENCERVILLE — "Blink and you'll miss it" is definitely something a passerby could say about the small post office in the heart of tiny Spencerville, but to the residents there it was one of the last bastions of community togetherness in the town. And now it's closed.According to the United States Postal Service, in a letter addressed to Spencerville residents, it is not yet considered a formal closing although services ended on Friday. "Let me assure you, a decision to permanently close the Spencerville Post Office has not been made," states the letter signed by Post Office Operations Manager Kim Kerns of Oklahoma City. "Postal managers must collect extensive information for an office to be closed. In particular, customer input will be solicited via questionnaires in the near future to ensure that all issues are fully explored." Janet Smith, who has been a Spencerville resident for 29 years, says she doesn't think it will ever reopen. "At the community meeting, I specifically asked how many of these offices that have been temporarily closed have been reopened and they couldn't come up with any," she said. Smith said the Postal Service has been trying to close the Spencerville Post Office for the last 20 years and each time the community has rallied against it. "But it didn't matter that we rallied this time," she said. According to Postmaster Bettie Chappell on Friday, the safe, post office boxes and other items will be removed from the building on Wednesday. In the meantime, the 58 customers who maintained PO boxes at the facility will have new addresses with home mailboxes or can buy a PO box at the Sawyer Post Office. USPS originally told customers in a letter dated June 8 that a cluster box would be installed, but after the June 15 public hearing the Postal Service agreed to provide contract carrier service to roadside mailboxes. Chappell said some will keep the Spencerville designation and 74760 zip code but others have to switch to a Sawyer address. Chappell, who has been postmaster for two years and worked in the office since 1980, said she has chosen to retire.

By Krystle TaylorStaff WriterHUGO — Although there was no quorum Tuesday at the July monthly meeting of the Choctaw County Library Board of Trustees, board members present did hear a report on the 2008 audit, submitted by E.J. Guerrant, from Guerrant and Guerrant Certified Public Accountants.Guerrant told the board and citizens present, "The 2008 audit was just not comfortable. There were inadequate or missing documents and up to $10,000 missing from a certain trust."As stated by the independent auditors' report, "documentation supporting the donor's intent for contributions received and expenditures from funds held by the Choctaw County treasurer for the benefit of the library was either inadequate or missing in the accounting records."
By Amber HannekenStaff WriterHUGO — Representatives from the Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Wildlife spoke to a small group Thursday evening at the Choctaw County Library about the recent mercury advisory for Hugo Lake and 15 other lakes in Oklahoma. Jay Wright and Erin Hatfield from DEQ presented a slideshow that explained the study and what the mercury advisory means for lake goers. DEQ has been analyzing fish and issuing advisories since 1978. The recent advisory was issued after an extensive study of 50 lakes in Oklahoma. Between fall 2007 and summer 2009, the department collected a total of 536 largemouth bass from various sites of each lake and tested them for mercury, Wright said. Mercury levels ranged from low to high, all lakes with fish that tested above .5 mg/kg of mercury became a priority, he said.The Department of Wildlife and DEQ then returned to those 17 lakes and collected a total of 871 samples; according to Wright, 20 species were represented. The result was the advisory issued for 16 lakes and 12 species of fish at specific size ranges. Wright said mercury is a neurotoxin that specifically affects children and fetuses. Because of this, the advisory is split between sensitive populations — women of childbearing age and children up to age 15 — and the general population, which is everyone else. In general, larger fish and predator species like bass, walleye and flathead catfish contain the highest mercury levels. In studies of populations that consume a high amount of fish, Wright said mercury exposure produced problems in cognitive thinking, memory, attention span, motor skills and spatial skills.In Hugo Lake, there are no limits to fish consumption for the general population. However, the sensitive population should eat no more than two meals per month of black crappie 10 inches and larger, blue catfish 23 inches and larger, flathead catfish 19 inches and larger, largemouth bass 15 inches and larger and white bass 12 inches and larger. Smaller catches of those species have no limitation advisory. Channel catfish, common carp, green sunfish, smallmouth buffalo and white crappie are all safe to eat at any size, according to the study.
By Amber HannekenStaff WriterHUGO — The Hugo School Board accepted the resignations of two teachers and two coaches with no discussion during Monday night's regular meeting. Resigning were high school math teacher Suni Williamson, high school art teacher Steve Hanson, high school and middle school head softball coach and PE teacher Brent Shaw and head football coach Daryl Williamson.During public comment at the end of the meeting, Jack Goodrich, Hugo High class of 1962, approached the board about considering Jimmy Webb for the open football coach position. Members of the class of 1961 were present to show their support for Webb. Board members reviewed bids on the lease/purchase of four school buses. The three large buses and one small bus with a lift would be paid for over five years, at which time the school district would own them. The total will be about $275,000 plus financing interest. Superintendent Tony Daugherty said the district is hoping to receive a $101,000 USDA grant to help pay for the vehicles. Board President Brad Greer expressed concern that the district might not receive the grant, however, he was informed that the school district needs new buses now because three currently owned by the district are in disrepair. On recommendation from Daugherty, Joey Brindley motioned to accept and the board approved the quote as presented from Midwest Bus Sales. Each board member received a general overview report on school year 2010-2011 programs. The packet included overview of reading, science and math courses as well as the gifted and talented program. The district has decided to serve gifted and talented students within the classroom instead of in a separate program. Teachers will give those students in kindergarten through fifth grade more challenging curriculum. Middle school and high school students will be offered to take honors classes and pre-AP. A grant and Title I will provide after school tutoring and activities.
