imperator3733 - Friday, November 30, 2007 - linkOn page 2 in the part on the QX9650, you say that the QX9650 has "2x6MB vs. 2xMB on the Q6xx0". It should say "2x4MB", not "2xMB". Reply
ac3shi6h - Monday, November 26, 2007 - linkJust upgraded, everything from Newegg.Under $400
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition $129
MSI NX8600GTS Diamond Plus GeForce 8600GTS 256MB $149 -$20= $129
Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 PDC22G6400LLK 79 - 40= $39
Total = $389,-
Can't beat this value in upgrading from 939 x2-4200+ with a 7800gs
3dmark = 6932
3d cpu = 6095
New (cpu @ 3ghz 15x multiplier)
3dmark = 12234
Cpu = 7422
Now I probably would have gotten better scores if I spend a little more, but at a 400 dollar budget I don't think I could have gotten any better then this. The only thing I forgot to order was a heatsink.. that bumped me up to 409,-... still though.. I couldn't find any sli capable deal for anything less...
strikeback03 - Monday, November 26, 2007 - linkWe need to build a new computer to interface with our microscope for the lab. Don't need 3D capabilities to speak of, but does need to be able to run a pair of CRTs at 1600x1200 and have Firewire. I checked out the Gigabyte motherboard suggested with the Intel build, but the Gigabyte website says the DVI output cannot be used with an adapter to D-Sub. Can you confirm if this is true, or recommend any other boards that might fit the bill? Or should we just look for a discrete card for either graphics or Firewire? Reply
tshen83 - Saturday, November 24, 2007 - linkI agree that the 8800GT is in short supply. However the Radeon HD3870 is also in short supply, if not worse than the 8800GT.
Look at the MSRP. AMD advertised 219 as the MSRP, however, newegg and buy.com both raised the price to 269. And you still cannot buy them.
It looks more and more that the HD3870 is here for benchmark purposes, whereas the HD3850 is really what AMD wants to sell. But the Radeon HD3850 is really slow, in my mind, not worth 180 dollars when the 8800GT 512MB is selling for $208:
JarredWalton - Sunday, November 25, 2007 - linkWe actually aren't too surprised, but the text was written last week when supply of 3850/3870 cards was better. That's why we state, "While we're on the topic of availability, we must say that we don't know how long AMD will continue to keep up with demand for the Radeon HD 3850/3870. As with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT, many resellers are now backordered and we wouldn't be surprised to see prices begin climbing." Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, November 25, 2007 - linkOn a related note, Dell currently has a killer deal on an 8800 GT 512MB card. How long will it last, and how long will it take to get the card if you order right now? Well, those are questions we don't have answers to right now. Still, if you're interested in an 8800 GT card, http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Games/...">here's the link
(I don't know if that's the correct way to link, and the link buttons appear to be broken. Anyway, you should at least be able to see the URL; go to Dell.com and search for 8800GT if you need to.] Reply
FrankM - Friday, November 23, 2007 - linkAm I the only one feeling that there's a bit of a gap between the IGPs and the ~$200 mainstream cards that you called "budget"? I sort of agree that there's not much worth getting between these extremes for current games, but 8600GT @ ~$100 runs OK on medium resolutions and settings, and also offloads HD-media from the CPU.
Also, calling ~$200 cards "budget" is a bit weird. Not so long ago, that was mainstream, with budget being sub-$100... Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, November 23, 2007 - linkWell, we did mention them: "There are cheaper graphics cards that provide adequate performance and DirectX 10 support, but the difference in performance between the $100 you might spend on the Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB/GeForce 8600 GT 256MB and the HD 3850 is substantial. Let's not even get into a discussion of performance requirements for Crysis, Hellgate: London, or Unreal Tournament 3. Needless to say, there are plenty more titles coming out where $100 graphics cards will need to drop down to lower resolutions and medium detail settings in order to provide adequate performance." Reply
Chubbbs - Thursday, November 22, 2007 - link"the G35 is next week"
Yes, finally!! This is the platform I've been patiently waiting for. Not all enthusiasts are gamers. Some of us want a superior workstation without the cost, power consumption, acoustics, and binary blobs associated with discrete graphics. All we ask is for is modest composite and decode acceleration and a digital output (two would be nice). But that doesn't mean we don't want a premium ATX board with 8 SATAs, solid caps, and effective chipset radiators.
There *is* a retail market for a $150-200 motherboard with integrated graphics. In fact, if we're going to pay $200 or more for a motherboard, shouldn't we expect it to include onboard graphics? It's not like it precludes adding discrete graphics, and it offers a much lower power mode for those rare moments when you're not gaming. I look forward to AT's in-depth analysis of Intel's long-overdue foray into integrated graphics for the midrange performance market. Reply
guptasa1 - Thursday, November 22, 2007 - linkAny chance I can get a clarification on this?
Planning to buy soon (possibly this friday) and actually like the looks of the X38T - what's inferior about it to the Asus? (Asus was my second choice.) If it's just benchmarks, BIOS updates may address that, but if it's being revised due to a problem or something, I'd like to know. Thanks. (Great roundup btw.) Reply
vailr - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkFry's BF ad has a Q6600 + ECS motherboard combo priced at: $198. "Limited to 1 per customer. No substitutions, no rainchecks."

I would like to experience this goodness, but I've gotten bsod's and poor performance in Vista x64 and 2 frames more in XP when NOT using SLI. :( Guide! Guide!! Reply
CrystalBay - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkCrossfire 3850's smoke despite their 256 Vram disadvantage... Reply
Le Québécois - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkOn page 5 : " Let's not even get into a discussion of performance requirements for Crysis, Hellgate: London, or Unreal Tournament 2007. "
Epic has changed the name to Unreal Tournament 3 for a while now.
Also on page 5: " We showed in our recent HD 3870 article that CrossFire performance roughly matches what you get from a single 8800 GTX "
If I remember correctly, Anand stated that he could only test the HD 3850 in Crossfire and almost had to beg to receive ONE HD 3870 from AMD. If Crossfire HD 3850 is more or less equal to a single 8800GTX, can't we expect Crossfire HD 3870 to be more powerful than that? Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkUpdated. I actually missed that it was 3850 CF vs. the 8800 GTX. Of course, we still have to deal with the fact that CrossFire often doesn't work properly on new games until a driver update. AMD is working to address that concern apparently, and we should see profiles in their drivers (finally!) at some point soon. Reply
SerpentRoyal - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkP35 Neo2-FR is $100 after rebate. Abit has an equivalent in the form of IP35 for $95 after rebate. IP35 is identical to IP35-E, plus six SATA ports, 1394a, heat pipe cooling, and ICH9R for on-board RAID. LAN port sits on PCI-E.
IP35 and IP35-E share the basic power module section found in the IP35 Pro. Their on-board CPU and fan headers can also control the speed of a 2-wire fan. The stock 11 BIOS is stable and can easily hit 490MHz FSB with a capable CPU.
I'll make it easy for the editor to pick the winner. Let's compare the P35 Neo2-FR against the two Abit boards. Abit IP35-E has been selling for $65 to $70 after rebate since September 2007. It's 30% cheaper than the MSI because it doesn't come with RAID, eSATA. Board has four SATA ports instead of five on the MSI. Abit IP35 adds RAID, 1394, and six SATA ports. IP35 lacks eSATA, but it's $5 cheaper than the P35 Neo2-FR.

pauldovi - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkWhere is the GA-P35-DS3L and GA-P35-DS3R in the motherboard sections. The DS3L is a $85 motherboard that is amazing. The -R is the same with with RAID capability. They easily match those $200 range boards.
G.Skill has a 4GB kit on newegg for $120. If that isn't a deal I don't know what is. Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - link"Where is the GA-P35-DS3L and GA-P35-DS3R in the motherboard sections."
Ummm... Page 4? ;)
mcnabney - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkSomething you might want to know.
The 2x2GB G.Skill kit also has a $40 mail in rebate, so the price is really $80 for a 4GB setup. Reply
kleinwl - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - linkWhile we are on the holidays, why not a few HTPC recommendations? mATX boards, video capture cards, etc. Otherwise, great article.
BTW: are you planning on doing a crysis cpu comparison? Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, November 21, 2007 - link"We're going to break this Buyers' Guide into a couple parts, in order to keep things manageable. We'll start today with the major system components: processors, graphics cards, motherboards, and memory. The second installment will cover the remaining components and accessories."
We did include at least a few mATX motherboards that would work well. Reply

The act of miserably failing towards the end of a task that was started with such promise. The phrase comes from many seasons in which the Clemson University football team starts off their season with huge victories, only to fall off completely at the end of the season to teams like Georgia Tech and get dominated by teams like NC State, South Carolina and West Virginia.
"Look. Clemson is pulling a Clemson again. They started off 8-0 and in the national title hunt, but they actually suck."

Google has been speaking in different tongues with its voice strategy, but there are signs that its ambitions in telephony are coming into focus.
Last night, it unveiled Google Voice - a rebranding of GrandCentral, bought in July 2007. The company usually takes a long time reworking its acquisitions, some of them never reappearing at all, so the nearly two years it has spent on GrandCentral seems par for the course. Read more

A Win-Win-Win for Consumers, Farmers and the Environment
Guest blog from Miguel Zamora, the Director of Coffee Innovation and Producer Relations
This guest blog post comes to us from our very own Miguel Zamora, the Director of Coffee Innovation and Producer Relations at Fair Trade USA. Miguel is focused on creating opportunities between buyers and coffee-growing communities around the world. In this post, Miguel talks about the potential for small-scale farmers in Honduras who hope to access the many opportunities and benefits of Fair Trade through Fair Trade USA's new Independent Smallholder Standard (ISS).
Earlier this year, I visited smallholder coffee farmers in the Department of Copan in Honduras, one of the most beautiful regions in the country. We are working with more than 100 farmers in Copan who want to join Fair Trade but who are not part of a cooperative or other farmer organization who could get Fair Trade certified under the old standards. One of the farmers, Faustino, told me how preparing for Fair Trade helped him and his community to save water and reduce pollution, while improving the quality of coffee.
As Faustino mentions in the video, farmers in this group recently began processing coffee cherries in a central facility instead of each farmer processing cherries at home. The benefits of this: less pollution and more drinking water for the community, and better quality of coffee. Farmers are no longer using the potable water from the town; rather they are using non-potable water from the river. In addition, they are now treating and filtering the 'honey water' (leftover water from the process) so this water does not pollute the river.
This practice has a direct effect in the quality of coffee. Before, each farmer processed the coffee separately and sold the coffee as 'wet parchment' (unfinished processed coffee with high content of water that makes it more prone to fermentation and negative changes in quality). This is still a common practice for many farmers in Honduras. By processing the coffee together, the farmers have more control and uniformity on the quality of the coffee. They can also collaborate drying the coffee together to significantly reduce the risk of over-fermentation. The better the quality of the coffee, the more money farmers will receive for that coffee.
Faustino, sitting at the top of the central processing facility that farmers built to reduce water consumption & pollution and improve the quality of coffee.
Faustino and his fellow farmers are an example of how meeting Fair Trade standards can help farmers produce better quality coffee, at the same time that they protect the environment and improve their communities. In this case, this means better coffee for consumers, more money for farmers, more water for farming communities and less pollution for the environment.
Looking Ahead
This post is part of our Innovation Update Series. Please stay tuned as we report on both the successes and challenges involved in launching each coffee pilot, our cooperative-strengthening program Co-op Link, and our progress on Fair Trade for All as a whole. It's a unique opportunity for people to learn about the farmers and workers participating in these programs, what Fair Trade means to them, and how we can work together to build a more inclusive, collaborative approach that supports everyone in the global coffee supply chain willing to commit to a journey of sustainability, responsibility, empowerment and impact.

HOUSTON - Several NBA and WNBA legendary players visited two Houston elementary schools on Thursday.
Former Houston Rockets stars Calvin Murphy and Robert Horry visited Franklin Elementary School, 7101 Canal stopped by to help donate more than 500 new books to the school's library. One of the league's 50 greatest players, George Gervin, who played for the San Antonio Spurs and Chicago Bulls, read with students. WNBA champion Swin Cash, formerly of the Phoenix Mercury and Seattle Storm, was also there.
Current Houston Rockets star James Harden also stopped by and said he enjoys working with NBA Cares.
"It means a lot to give back to the community, give back to the kids and encourage them to read," Harden said.
Houstonian and former University of Texas star TJ Ford, Chicago Bulls great Ron Harper and slam-dunk master Darryl Dawkins went to Eliot Elementary School, 6411 Laredo, to guide students through fitness and basketball activities. WNBA champion Candice Wiggins of the Minnesota Lynx was also there.
The basketball courts at both schools will be refurbished and outdoor gym equipment will be installed. New furniture will be put in the parent's alliance section at Eliot Elementary.
Both schools also received 30 tablet computers and a laptop.

ive learned my lesson about socking, will you PLEASE unban me PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE--Dr. Sonya says, stay fabulous!!! 20:48, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
- As I've told you in Central Chat, you are lucky to be unblocked from the wiki. You socked. Sockpuppets don't get second chances. There are a few exceptions and your case should not have been one. The only reason you were unbanned is because I forgot what you had done for you to even sock in the first place. Be lucky you're unbanned from the wiki.
- You should also be aware that this is an open forum. Meaning that anybody is allowed to comment in this forum with their opinions on whether you should be unbanned or not. Jäzzi 20:57, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
ok so when should i be unbannedDr. Sonya says, stay fabulous!!! 21:03, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
- You very well might not be unbanned. As I said, sockpuppets generally don't get unbanned from the wiki. Since chat is a privilege on a wiki, you have not earned the privilege back. I will message you when it is discussed and we find that you have earned the privilege back. Jäzzi 21:07, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
ok thanksDr. Sonya says, stay fabulous!!! 21:10, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

The Artist, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy lead BAFTA nominees
The Artist leads BAFTA nominations with 12; Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy has 11, followed by Hugo with 9, My Week With Marilyn with six.
The Help and War Horse receieve five each; Drive, The Iron Lady, and Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows - Part 2 have four each; The Descendants, Moneyball, Senna, and We Need To Talk About Kevinall have three; and Shame, The Ides of March, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Bridesmaids, The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn each receive two.
Entertainment leads as distributor with most nominations at 27 (it has The Artist, Hugo and My Week With Marilyn); StudioCanal garners 16, Disney has 10, Universal has 7, Sony has 6, and following with 5 each are: Artificial Eye, Icon, Warner Bros. and Pathe/Fox.
The Best Film nominees are The Artist, The Descendants, Drive, The Help and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Tinker Tailor also gets a nod for Outstanding British Film, alongside My Week With Marilyn, Senna, Shame and We Need To Talk About Kevin.
For Best Director, Tinker Tailor's Tomas Alfredson and The Artist's Michel Hazanavicius will be up against Nicolas Winding Refn for Drive, Martin Scorsese for Hugo, and Lynne Ramsay for We Need To Talk About Kevin.
For the first year, BAFTA has a documentary category. Those nominees are George Harrison: Living In The Material World, Project Nim and Senna.
In the Outstanding British debut, the nominees are director Joe Cornish for Attack The Block; writer/director Will Sharpe, director Tom Kingsley and producer Sarah Brocklehurst for Black Pond; director Ralph Fiennes for Coriolanus; writer/director Richard Ayoade for Submarine; and director Paddy Considine and producer Diarmid Scrimshaw for Tyrannosaur. Of those, the lesser-known is the well-reviewed black comedy Black Pond, which stars Chris Langham as a patriarch who is drawn into the tabloid press when a man dies at his family dinner table.
After the first round of voting, My Week With Marilyn had mentions in 16 categories, now cut down to six nominations. The Iron Lady had 14 mentions on the longlist and now has four nominations. Midnight In Paris, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and War Horse had 13 mentions each on the longlist, now Midnight In Paris has one nomination (original screenplay), Dragon Tattoo has only two nominations in technical categories (music and cinematography); and War Horse has five nominations also all in technical categories (original music, cinematography, production design, sound and special visual effects).
Among the surprises were that Olivia Colman didn't receive a Best Actress nomination for Tyrannosaur; Albert Brooks wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Drive; and that Carey Mulligan's Best Supporting Actress nomination was for Drive, not Shame (she had been longlisted in Best Actress for the latter). It is notable that Scorsese is the only American nominated for Best Director.
Daniel Radcliffe and Holliday Grainger joined Chairman Tim Corrie to announce the nominations.
The BAFTAs will be held on Feb 12 at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. Stephen Fry will host.

Readers' comments (1)
Someone surely needs to make up their minds as to whether Tintin is animated or a special effect. The fact that it's nominated in both Best Animated Film and Best SFX seems a bit embarrassing!
Love the dominance of The Artist, the recognition of Dragon Tattoo's brilliant score, and the Film & Director nods for Drive.
It's a shame not to see Tyrannosaur up for Best British Film - it's a better film than 4 of the 5 nominated.
I would also have liked to see more range in the inaugural documentary category. This group seems a little star-struck - going for the big names. There were so many great docs this year, Page One, Tabloid, Bobby Fischer Against The World, Fire In Babylon, Nenette, Inside Job, Knuckle, Donor Unknown, Waste Land, Into The Abyss (although don't think that qualified for this year's consideration), etc. Senna will easily win out of those three but there was a lot of scope to be a genuinely interesting category instead of what appears to be the only 3 docs your average person on the street would have seen and voted for. This set feels like those nominating probably didn't watch much of what was out there.

The House of the Temple located at 1733 16th Street, NW, in the Dupont Circle neighborhood is a Masonic temple that serves as the headquarters of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry.
On May 31, 1911, 110 years after the founding of the Supreme Council, Grand Commander James D. Richardson broke ground on the spot where the House of the Temple now stands in Washington, D.C.
The temple was designed by John Russell Pope, who modeled it after the tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The building was dedicated four years later on October 18, 1915. The Temple Garden occupies about 0.25-acre (1,000 m2), divided into about 70 small plots worked by nearby residents.
The House of the temple is just a few blocks away from Dupont circle metro station. The view at the sunset is absolutely soulful. The House of the temple is surrounded with a peaceful park to relax your heels after a long walk towards the glory…

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Hundreds of pro-life marchers wrapped around the entire federal courthouse Tuesday in downtown Jacksonville, walking, praying, holding signs and chanting, asking for an end to abortion in the United States.
It's been 40 years since abortion was made legal federally in the controversial Roe vs. Wade case, and pro-life supporters are gathering four decades later, saying they want it repealed and want life to be respected again.
"I had an abortion when I was 19 years old," said Mary Lopez Huston, of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign. "My daughter would be 33 years old this year, and like many other women, I have not had any children after that. And many of us have suffered for years from the emotional, physical and spiritual effects of abortion."
"People listen, you know," said Ed McGowan, a pro-life supporter. "Even if we can just get to one mind, one heart and change that, we'll do it that way."
"There are alternatives and choices to abortion, such as placing your baby up for adoption or asking for help in raising your child," said Brad Straley, of Jacksonville For Life.
There were also pro-choice supporters downtown.
"I believe in a woman's right to choose what she can and cannot do with her own body, whether that is the use of birth control, whether that is aborting the baby or even keeping the baby," pro-choice supporter Tiffany Arnold said. "It's all up to her and no one else."
Several pro-life supporters said there will be many different groups from the Jacksonville area that will be heading to Washington D.C. on Friday to protest and let their voices be heard in the nation's capital.

ATLANTA - Gov. Nathan Deal outlined a 2013 legislative agenda focusing on public safety, education, health care and economic development to a joint session of the General Assembly late Thursday morning
The Republican governor outlined budget proposal that trims most state agency budgets, but still covers enrollment increases in K-12.
Transcript: Gov. Deal's speech
Deal wants to restore Georgia's pre-kindergarten instruction to 180 days and add money to the HOPE scholarship program.
"Today, I am happy to say that my budget will increase the HOPE Scholarship by 3 percent over last, bringing the total funds going to HOPE in fiscal year 2014 to nearly $600 million," Deal told lawmakers.
The governor told lawmakers he would back an aggressive juvenile justice overhaul that is intended to grow community based programs and divert minor offenders from prison. He also asked lawmakers to tighten drunken boating laws.
Deal urged lawmakers to avert steep Medicaid cuts, but defended his decision not to expand the program as part of President Barack Obama's 2010 law.

Newfoundland & Labrador is home to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. No visit to the province would be complete without making it to at least one of them – and maybe you can collect the set.
11 Sep 2013 by Keith and Heather Nicol in History and Red BayRegion: Labrador
On Wednesday, August 28 we awoke to strong north winds and the forecast was calling for rain in the afternoon so we decided to head immediately for Saddle Island which is where most of the Basque whaling took place. The Basques arrived along the coast of Labrador in the early 1500's looking for cod and when they discovered the abundance of whales they decided to harvest the whales for their oil. It was a very valuable product and whale oil from Red Bay was used to light the cities of Europe throughout the 1500's.
11 Sep 2013 by Keith and Heather Nicol in History , Top Destinations and Red BayRegion: Labrador
Western Newfoundland has 2 UNESCO World Heritage sites that attract tourists from around the world. Gros Morne National Park at the base of the Northern Peninsula is one of province's keystone attractions and L'anse aux Meadows at the very top of the Peninsula is another popular visitor destination. However part way between these 2 locations lies the community of St.Barbe which provides access to Labrador and the province's newest UNESCO World Heritage site at Red Bay. Red Bay was officially named an UNESCO site in June, 2013 and is important for what it tells us about the Basques whaling exploits in this area in the 1500's.

25 Years of American Beauty Trends
Whether you wear them separately or together, elongated eye shadow and berry-tinted lips are in for fall. On the Christian Dior catwalk, models like Siri Tollerød (shown at left) wore an emboldened version of this winning combo, recollecting the makeup style of `30s Hollywood star Mae West.
Milly by Michelle Smith has favored the side-pony for two seasons in a row, and it's no wonder—the hairstyle is preppy yet sophisticated (sort of like Blair Waldorf's `do on Gossip Girl.)

Thanks to the post regarding the $25 off a Weber smoker from Amazon my new Weber smoker arived last friday On Sunday I tested it out with a brisket and Elk roast. Both of which turn out really good. While tending over the smoker I had a few questions come to mind. I would like to know peoples opinions when it comes to mopping/basting.
Do you just mop the top of the brisket (which is likely all fat) or do you get better results by turning meat and mopping all sides? Pardon my being so naive I am new at this smoking stuff (and grilling at that matter).
My next question stems from my mind going wild with smoking different combinations of meat (might be all the hickory smoke I was snorting while tending the smoker). Pork and chicken, Beef and chicken. Beef and fish.....etc. Is there a good rule of thumb as to which should go on the upper grate and which on the lower grate. I have read somewhere not to put chicken on the top grate if beef is on the bottom but have seen pictures posted here where chicken is above beef.

"Although before we bought we thought it was a tag, printed in a hard paper, the product is beautiful and worth the purchase."
"I missed the fact that these were stickers, so I put them on heavy black cardstock and cut them into square tags. Then I put a hole in one corner and tied them to clear cookie bags with a nice ribbon. The tags really dressed up the bags. You could easily fold a bag over and close it with this sticker though. It's got good adhesion. The printing was clean and crisp. I really love the design!"
"Super easy to personalize, I picked a certain pink and it was spot on what I wanted, the paper quality is very very good nice thick paper. Super girly and so perfect for my bridal shower!"
"Was able to make all the requested changes and they shipped ahead of time. They are a little flimsy but they serve its purpose."
"These cards came out beautiful. The paper is high quality and the printing is perfect. I'm very happy with how they came out."

Why didn't you buy a card that is clearly supported on the aircrack-ng wiki? Buying an unknown/unsupported card is asking for trouble.
proud user of backtrack-ng and aircrack-linux
Alfa network cards are supposed to be supported fully.
I don't know what's wrong?
There are other posts on other forums that say that it works?
I just checked the aircrack-ng wiki every single alfa network card is supported , and well recommended on the forum.
I have even seen on some other forums similar to this one praising the compatibility of my model (awuso51nh) . I just cannot understand what is happening?
Do I need to install drivers in vmware/backtrack?
bump!! Can someone please help me with this issue? I know that teh awuso51nh cards are supposed to be comptable according to other forums posts.
If you have to post three times in a row to obtain help theres a good chance that help might not be forthcoming. Try posting at the aircrack-ng forums.

Relations with Malta
Malta first joined the Partnership for Peace (PfP) in 1995. It suspended participation in 1996 but reactivated its PfP membership in April 2008. Malta recognises that it can help address emerging security challenges and contribute to international peace, security and stability through the PfP framework.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg with Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat (Valletta, 26 April 2017)
Participation in the PfP programme is compatible with Malta's commitment to the principle of neutrality. The country views it as an additional instrument that enhances European and Euro-Atlantic security.
Malta shares the partnership values and principles of the protection and promotion of fundamental freedoms and human rights, and the safeguarding of freedom, justice and peace through democracy.
Malta has much to offer the Alliance as its partnership with NATO develops. The country has special expertise in international maritime law, diplomatic studies and search and rescue, as well as in Arabic culture and language training. It is prepared to offer short courses and seminars in these fields to other partner countries.
Framework for cooperation
Areas of cooperation and specific events in which Malta wishes to participate within the Partnership for Peace are detailed in its Individual Partnership Programme (IPP), which is jointly agreed with NATO.
Key areas of cooperation
Security cooperation
Malta is also considering future participation in the PfP Planning and Review Process (PARP). This process would provide a basis for identifying and evaluating select national elements of the armed forces, which could provide capabilities that might be made available for multinational training, exercises and peace-support operations.
Defence and security sector reform
Malta is also seeking to exchange information and develop cooperation with NATO and other partner countries in several areas, including the promotion of transparency in defence planning and budgeting, the assurance of democratic control of the armed forces, arms control and the improvement of anti- and counter-terrorism capabilities.
In the future, Malta may also consider working with Allies and other partners countries to possibly enhance maritime search-and-rescue operational capabilities, handle pollution at sea, in addition to further developing maritime law enforcement and airspace management.
Civil emergency planning
Looking forward, Malta may expand its relationship with NATO in several fields, including civil-military coordination and civil protection.
Public information
In every partner country, an embassy of one of the NATO member states serves as a contact point and operates as a channel for disseminating information about the role and policies of the Alliance. The current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Malta is the embassy of Greece.
Milestones in relations
1995 Malta joins Partnership for Peace programme. 1996 Malta suspends involvement in Partnership for Peace programme. 2008 Malta reactivates membership in Partnership for Peace programme.

U.S., Egypt links grow tense
CAIRO — A mob assault on the U.S. Embassy here has provoked the first U.S.-Egyptian crisis since the Muslim Brotherhood seized power.
Samer Shehata, a Georgetown University assistant professor of Arab politics, calls it "the beginning of a difficult renegotiating" of U.S.-Egyptian relations.
In Washington, the anti-U.S. frenzy across the Arab world raises doubts about President Obama's much-heralded "new beginning" with Muslims, initiated with his June 2009 speech at Cairo University.
Here the concern is about Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy's competence or intentions.
The genesis of the embassy attack was a call by Egypt's ultra-Islamist Salafis — parliamentary partners of the Brotherhood — to protest an obscure anti-Islam video filmed in the United States.
Arabic-dubbed clips of the amateurish video were shown on a Saudi-supported Salafi satellite channel here, and outrage quickly spread.
The Brotherhood, which won parliamentary control in January and the presidency in June, joined the call for protests on its Arabic-language website.
So did Gama'a Islamiya, a one-time terrorist group whose representative quietly met in June with White House and State Department staff in Washington.
Those calls were widely reported by Egyptian media. Ominously, they coincided with the 11th anniversary of al-Qaida's 9/11 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.
The mob attacking the embassy included "Ultras," young soccer hooligans, who scaled a security wall, shredded a U.S. flag and raised a black al-Qaida banner to chants of "God is great!"
The lack of security at the embassy left many wondering if, in Shehata's words, "Morsy might not even fully control the security forces."
More surprising was his ensuing silence, especially in contrast to other regional leaders.
Libyan officials swiftly condemned a consulate attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three embassy staffers in Benghazi; Yemen's president denounced a mob attack on the U.S. Embassy there; and Yemeni troops battled the crowd.
Anti-U.S. or indecisive?
Khaled Elgindy, a fellow of the Brookings Institution's Saban Center for Middle East Policy, calls Morsy's initial silence "inappropriate."
"You are the head of state," he said. "An attack on an embassy of any kind — much less a mission belonging to the United States (with whom) you have a longstanding relationship — is unacceptable at any level."
Morsy waited more than 24 hours to comment; even then, he did not condemn the attack. His statement, derided as "mealy-mouthed" by one analyst, was posted on Facebook, a web venue viewed by relatively few Egyptians.
That prompted a frosty response from Obama, who said Egypt is neither an ally nor an enemy.
As anti-U.S. riots erupted in other Muslim countries, the Brotherhood called for a nationwide protest on Friday, then backed down.
And not until Friday did Morsy forcefully condemn the previous three days of rioting.
Some Egyptians consider his response to be tacit support of anti-U.S. sentiment. Others say he loathes taking tough or unpopular stands and tried publicly to "out-Islamize" the Salafis.
Still others say anti-Americanism runs deep here, based on U.S. support for ousted dictator Hosni Mubarak and for Israel, as well as the U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A fourth view is that Morsy saw the protests as a way to distract Egyptians from domestic problems and frustration with the Brotherhood's rule.
Joshua Stacher, a Kent State University professor and expert on Arab politics, said Morsy "doesn't owe his position to the United States," as Libyan and Yemeni leaders do. He wonders if Morsy is just "testing the limits of the relationship."
Egypt has been America's most important Arab ally for three decades; it pockets $1.5 billion annually in U.S. aid, mostly for its military.
Howls of laughter
The Brotherhood's reaction is not surprising to conservative U.S. observers, who have long predicted the party would turn away from Washington's sphere.
But it did provoke an unusual late-week online spat between Brotherhood and American officials.
Brotherhood deputy leader Khairat El Shater posted a message of "condolence" on Ikhwanweb, the party's English-language Twitter feed.
The U.S. Embassy tweeted back: "Thanks. By the way, have you checked out your own Arabic feeds? I hope you know we read those too."
The exchange inspired howls of laughter from Egyptians, who quickly found the Brotherhood's Arabic Twitter account and its tweets glorifying the embassy attack. One of those read: "Egyptians rise up to victory for the prophet."
Morsy's long-planned Sept. 23 meeting with Obama in Washington remains scheduled, although some observers wonder if it will occur.
"Morsy needs Washington, and he has to realize it," said Georgetown's Shehata.
Egypt is in financial turmoil: Tourism, a key revenue source, has evaporated since the 2011 revolution; unemployment is a staggering 12.6 percent; and foreign investment is essential to restart the moribund economy.
A $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan to Egypt, which surely needs U.S. approval, is pending; so is Obama's request for a $1 billion debt relief package.
Some in Congress want U.S. aid to be reduced or eliminated; outside voices are calling for a tourism boycott.
Kent State's Stacher believes U.S. business interests in Egypt are too strong and the countries' relationship will survive, although not, perhaps, as in the past. He believes Morsy will try to forge a more independent path.
The question he asks: "Is Egypt too big to fail?"
Yet last week's unrest "potentially tells us something about the possible difficulties and shape of the new U.S.-Egypt relationship, as evidenced by Morsy's actions and Obama's words," said Shehata. "We could really see some difficulties in the coming period."

Thanks to concerted conservation efforts, Africa's rhinoceros population continues to increase. There are now an estimated 14,770 rhinos in Africa, up from 13,109 rhinos in 1999.
In recent decades, rhinos have been poached to the point of near extinction. Since 1970, the world rhino population declined by 90 percent.
The only two species found today in Africa are the white or square-lipped rhino and the black rhino.
Nations and conservationists must step up their vigilance against illegal ivory sales and the poaching of elephants in the wake of the Nov. 15 decision by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to allow one-time ivory sales by Botswana, Namibia and South Africa, the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) said today.
Washington, D.C., October 14, 2002 - The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) announced today that a baby mountain gorilla was rescued from poachers by Rwandan authorities on the 4th of October. The baby is being kept under observation by Park authorities. Staff are discussing what next steps need to be taken to hopefully reintroduce the infant into the gorilla population.
Apart from the receptionist and her paraphernalia, the next most conspicuous item at the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF's) reception is their mission statement.
It reads: "The African Wildlife Foundation recognises that the wildlife and the wild lands of Africa have no equal. We work with our supporters world-wide and our partners in Africa - to craft and deliver creative solutions for the long-term well being of Africa's remarkable species, their habitats and the people who depend on them."
WASHINGTON Annette Lanjouw, director of the International Gorilla Conservation Program, received the first National Geographic Society/Buffett Award for Leadership in African Conservation. Lorivi Ole Moirana was also chosen for his successful conservation efforts in Africa.
Lanjouw is internationally recognized as a leading authority on the mountain gorilla. She has been instrumental in focusing attention on the gorilla's plight and in raising funds to ensure its survival. The focus of Lanjouw's work is conservation of the forest ecosystem that is the mountain gorilla's habitat.

If you're an enchanter, you prolly know this already... but every so often I see people in trade asking for an enchanter to link in trade... NOT for an enchantment or whatever, but just link... so, I take the 2 seconds and link it...
15 minutes later, when I'm in a dungeon, or halfway into a queue or something... I get whispered a random list of enchants that add up to about 50g of mats from this complete stranger with the promise that "they'll even provide the mats", or the even better one "Do I have mats on me?"
At which point I reply that I inform them that I don't craft for Trade. Even *if* they happen to be the exception to the rule and tip me afterwards, a 20% tip off a 100g enchantment doesnt even equal the same amount I could get from running and killing Sha for a bag of gold in the same amount of time it'd take for me to wait for this guy to buy the mats off AH, trade me, and then get the enchant. *if* everything goes smoothly, which it usually doesnt and I end up having to explain why I can't make enchantments from these 2 stacks of linen cloth they just traded me.
Think about the person's time. If you can't afford to give the person 100g per 5-10 minutes time spent dealing with you... just go to the AH or mail a guildmate with the request. (I'm very proactive about making sure my guildmembers get what they need for free, but wasting my time is a fast way to get on my bad side, too)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/1/2013 (1666 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Selinger government is taking its fight to amalgamate smaller municipalities to the people.
Local Government Minister Ron Lemieux encouraged residents in these municipalities to get more involved in a debate that's dominated local politics since the fall.
"There is someone missing in this picture, quite frankly," Lemieux said Tuesday. "Those ratepayers should certainly be able to express their views."
Instead, many local municipal reeves and councils decided to oppose amalgamation without input from their constituents, he said.
"Every level of government now is looking at how they do business," he said. "What kind of services are they providing for their ratepayers?"
Manitoba is made up of 196 municipalities, 92 of which do not meet the province's threshold of 1,000 persons.
A law setting 1,000 as the minimum population for a municipality has been in place since 1997, but it's never been enforced until now. The NDP wants amalgamations to be done before the 2014 municipal elections, but roughly 45 municipalities have said they don't want to join up with their neighbours.
"Nobody in Dunnottar has been told anything about this," cottager Craig Derenchuk said, referring to Dunnottar council's position it does not want to merge with St. Andrews. "They haven't had any public consultation on this. How can they make a decision so quickly? Obviously, Dunnottar council wants to protect its little fiefdom."
Lemieux also said the province's sole goal is for rural residents to be better represented by more efficient local government — in some smaller communities now, local councillors only represent about 35 people each — so that all municipalities see more equal distribution of services and funding. The province also wants amalgamations complete in advance of the Harper government's launch of the next phase of the Building Canada Fund.
"Get on the train before you miss it, because the train is going," Lemieux said.
Lemieux also met with Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) Doug Dobrowolski late Tuesday to explain the province's position on the matter. AMM wanted an extension to the 2014 deadline for amalgamation, but didn't get it.
"We're going to keep discussing this," Dobrowolski said, pointing out that Lemieux committed to attend a series of AMM meetings in March with mayors and reeves. "Just because we had one meeting doesn't mean we're going to give up."
RM of Armstrong Reeve Garry Wasylowski said he supports amalgamation as a way for communities to deal with larger, regional issues such as watershed management, economic development, and integrated fire protection.
"This needs to be discussed," the Interlake reeve said. "I think it's wrong for us to not to dismiss it and where municipalities are going in the future.
"Boundaries that were set maybe a 100-plus years ago maybe should be looked at. If everybody was together, it would make things a lot simpler."
Lemieux said the province is putting together a guidebook to help municipal governments go through the step-by-step process of amalgamation. Provincial field consultants will also go out to the various communities to work with local governments on the merger process.
"The field consultants are going to go out there and have face-to-face discussions with these municipalities and working with them through the issues they've got," Lemieux said. "We're not just phoning people and we're not just saying, "You're out there on your own, you figure it out.'"

DETROIT - Residents on the city's northeast side had seen what appeared to be an exotic cat, some said perhaps as tall as 4 feet, roaming the streets.
The same large cat was allegedly shot and killed.
Neighbors told Local 4 the cat was roaming the streets near Alcoy Street and Bringard Drive on Detroit's east side for about a month.
Laura Wilhelm-Bruzek from Paws for the Cause Feral Cat Rescue says the images look like an exotic breed of cat known as a Savannah.
She was out searching for the cat Saturday and setting traps in the area. Bruzek says she talked to many neighbors and located the cat's owner.
Despite her efforts to rescue it, the body of the exotic cat was found in a trash can in the neighborhood Monday.
Neighbors previously said it wasn't your average house cat.
"This is like an African cat. This cat ain't from here. The stripes. It's just different," said one resident.
"What I think is that someone took this breed of cat on and then probably dumped it here," she said. "They're the wildest version of a domestic cat but they are not wild animals, they have been domesticated."
Neighbors say they've called Animal Control and the Humane Society to report the cat prior to its death, but say nothing was done.
"I don't think they need to be shooting them or hurting them," Bruzek previously said.
The rescuer devoted much time to finding the cat after hearing the story on Local 4. She says one of her traps was stolen in the process.
"I'm just glad I found him and he can be at peace now," Bruzek said.
You can donate to Paws for the Cause, a 501-C3 organization, to help their many other rescue efforts.

Unanswered Questions: Monoclonal Antibodies in the Treatment of Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Unanswered Questions: Monoclonal Antibodies in the Treatment of Advanced Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
First-line platinum-based doublets is established as the standard of care for advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, in this field a plateau of effectiveness has been reached during the last years. One new area of exploration in NSCLC therapeutics lies in the use of tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The results of randomized trials testing mAbs against VEGF (bevacizumab) and EGFR (cetuximab) are challenging the paradigm of the platinum doublets as the gold standard in advanced NSCLC. Despite the interesting results that have thus far been collected, the benefit of these new agents, both in terms of balancing between advantages and toxicity and the associated health economic burden, is modest. Here we discuss the use of bevacizumab and cetuximab, the mAbs for which the largest amount of data in the treatment of advanced NSCLC exists. However, despite our having a significant amount of data on these two mAbs, we still have much to learn: Which patients are appropriate for these treatments; for how long are the treatments beneficial, and what are the molecular and clinical predictors? We must continue to study these important problems in treating NSCLC.
The treatment of advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma has reached a plateau of effectiveness with platinum-based doublets, which today are considered the standard of care.[1-3] However, the development of targeted therapies—in particular against the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)—seems likely to improve overall outcomes of advanced NSCLC. In particular, tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) can both be used to block these molecular targets. Bevacizumab (directed against VEGF), and cetuximab (against EGFR) are the mAbs which have the largest amount of available data for study. However to date, only bevacizumab has been licensed (in combination with chemotherapy) for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. Many questions remain concerning the benefits of these new agents in terms of maintaining a balance between advantages and toxicity and the associated health economic burden. Notwithstanding, many unsolved questions still exist regarding patient selection, the length of benefit, and molecular and clinical predictors. In this review we will address some of these issues.
Bevacizumab is an anti-VEGF recombinant humanized mAb. Thus far, two randomized phase III trials have compared the combination of bevacizumab with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in the treatment of advanced non-squamous NSCLC.[4-6] In both trials, enrollment was limited to non-squamous histology patients because of the elevated risk of bleeding for squamous lung cancer shown in a previous phase II randomized study. Also those patients with brain metastases were excluded due to the potential risk of bleeding.[7]
In the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG - E4599) study, 878 patients were randomized to either receive paclitaxel and carboplatin plus bevacizumab (15 mg/kg), or the same chemotherapy regimen plus placebo. Patients receiving bevacizumab reported a statistically significant advantage in overall survival (OS of 12.3 versus 10.3 months; P = .003), progression-free survival (PFS of 6.2 versus 4.5 months; P < .001) and objective response rate (ORR of 35% versus 15%; P < .001). Rates of clinically significant bleeding were 4.4% and 0.7% (P < .001), respectively. There were 15 treatment-related deaths in the bevacizumab group, including five from pulmonary hemorrhage.[4] In the AVAiL (AVAstin in Lung) trial, the chemotherapy regimen included cisplatin plus gemcitabine, recycled every three weeks.[5,6] In this trial, chemotherapy plus placebo was compared with chemotherapy plus two different doses of bevacizumab; 7.5 and 15 mg/kg. A total of 1,043 patients with non-squamous NSCLC were randomized to the three arms. Median PFS, the main endpoint of the trial, was significantly prolonged with the bevacizumab administration, the hazard ratios (HRs) were 0.75 (6.7 versus 6.1 months for placebo; P = .003) in the low-dose group and 0.82 (6.5 versus 6.1 months for placebo; P = .03) in the high-dose group compared with placebo. ORRs were 20.1%, 34.1%, and 30.4% for placebo, low-dose bevacizumab, and high-dose bevacizumab plus chemotherapy, with a response duration of 4.7, 6.1, and 6.1 months, respectively. Median OS was 13.1 months for chemotherapy alone, 13.6 months for bevacizumab at 7.5 mg/kg plus chemotherapy (HR versus placebo 0.93, 95% CI 0.78–1.11) and 13.4 months for bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg plus chemotherapy (HR versus placebo 1.03, 95% CI 0.86–1.23). Incidence of grade > 3 adverse events was similar across arms. Grade > 3 pulmonary hemorrhage rates were < 1.5% for all arms despite the fact that 9% of patients received therapeutic anticoagulation.
Both studies reached their primary endpoint (Table 1), however only the E4599 study showed a clinically relevant influence on PFS and OS. Based on these data, several questions were raised:
Should squamous histology and brain metastases really be excluded from bevacizumab therapy?
Due to safety concerns, bevacizumab use is restricted to a selected category of patients which may limit its indication to < 30% of all NSCLC patients.[4-7]. Thus, there is interest in determining if patients with brain metastases and with squamous histology can be, at least partially, re-candidated to this effective targeted therapy. The risks related to these two conditions, although not negligible, are not completely known. It is currently unclear whether histology alone or the central localization of the tumor are the risk factors for bleeding. A retrospective evaluation of the clinical and radiographic risk factors associated with severe pulmonary hemorrhage in first-line advanced NSCLC patients treated with carboplatin plus paclitaxel plus bevacizumab reported only the baseline tumor cavitations as a potential risk factor, and not the influence of squamous histology and tumor central localization.[8] In a prospective phase II study, 44 patients with squamous cell histology were treated with two cycles of carboplatin plus paclitaxel regimen and then received carboplatin plus paclitaxel and bevacizumab for an additional four cycles. A total of 27 patients received at least one dose of bevacizumab with an acceptable observed rate of severe pulmonary hemorrhage (1 in 27 patients, or 3.7%).[9] Furthermore, a phase II study in patients with squamous histology completed the accrual; results are pending.
With regard to brain metastases, several data strongly suggest the safety of bevacizumab in advanced NSCLC patients with treated metastases to the brain.[10] Moreover, further safety data showed that the risk of bleeding in patients with untreated brain metastases is similar for patients who receive bevacizumab and for those who do not, across various tumor types. As a consequence, the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) has removed the contraindication concerning the use of bevacizumab in untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases.[11] Finally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has indicated bevacizumab, in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel, in advanced non-squamous NSCLC regardless of the presence of brain metastases.[12] However, the last updated American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines continue to advise against the use of bevacizumab in patients with brain metastases.[13]
To conclude, bevacizumab can be administered in the presence of brain metastases, however further prospective data is needed before we can truly assess its use in non-squamous histology. Next we will turn our attention to tumor cavitations, regardless of histology.

Reading Jason Bivins's Religion of Fear made me think, not so much of Hell Houses or planes flying aborted fetus pictures over Notre Dame, but of Arcade Fire's Intervention:
Gonna lift me up and take me out of here
It should be called the Department of Offense, not the Department of Defense, man. Dude,
Don't wanna see what happens next,
Don't wanna live in my father's house no more. . . . .
Don't wanna fight in a holy war,
Don't want the salesmen knocking at my door,
I don't wanna live in America no more.
'Cause the tide is high,
and it's rising still,
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill.
This is the case with his tracing of the history of evangelical anti-rock/rap/metal tracts: these demons are never fully driven out but, like an endlessly glitched compact disc, return to infinitely reassert their place of prominence in this discourse." The repressed returns again and again to the same stuck place in the CD, and the audience can't stop watching/listening, not unlike the one place in the Arcade Fire song quoted above that I just had to keep replaying while driving home from school.
While your life falls apart
Singing hallelujah with the fear in your heart
Every spark of friendship and love
Will die without a home.

This video posted from a Fukushima town-hall meeting on YouTube was brought to my attention by a colleague. It is remarkable on many levels. It shows a group of citizens listening to bureaucrats from Tokyo with less than the usual deference shown to the mandarins who have run Japan since the war.
The audience is made up of citizens who live far enough from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant not to have been evacuated by the government, but close enough to have genuine concerns about elevated levels of radiation. Read more

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jeffrey Sinclair is the brigadier general who was fired from his command in Afghanistan and now faces a court-martial on charges of sodomy, adultery and pornography and more. He's also one in a long line of commanders whose careers were ended because of possible sexual misconduct.
Sex has proved to be the downfall of presidents, members of Congress and other notables. It's also among the chief reasons that senior military officers are fired.
At least 30 percent of military commanders fired over the past eight years lost their jobs because of sexually related offenses, including harassment, adultery, and improper relationships. That's according to statistics compiled by The Associated Press.
The figures bear out growing concerns by Defense Department and military leaders over declining ethical values among U.S. forces.

MARLBOROUGH College racing ace Alessandro Latif is set to make the short journey across the English Channel to the Netherlands to contest the latest rounds of the Blancpain Sprint Series this weekend.
Latif is scheduled to drive his Phoenix Racing Audi R8 LMS ultra along with Marc Basseng, not only bidding for further Pro-Am class glory but gunning for his first top-eight finish of the season.
The seven-week break in the European-based series saw the 18-year-old Londoner make his Le Mans 24 Hour race debut as well as sitting his A-Level examinations.
"I can't wait to get back in the Audi," said Latif. "The last few weeks have been very busy what with my A-Level exams and making my Le Mans debut. Obviously not getting behind the wheel in the actual race was very frustrating.
"The fact that the next race is at Zandvoort is putting a smile on my face. I love the track. Full of fast corners with lots of elevation changes. And most importantly there is no margin for error.
"This combines to make Zandvoort a big challenge. I tested the Audi there earlier this year but have never previously raced in the Netherlands."
The Circuit Park Zandvoort is an 11-corner, 2.51-mile track located in the dunes right on the North Sea coastline. Inaugurated in 1948, the track was used for Formula One races until 1985.
Latif said: "I've fitted in very well with the Phoenix team and also with Marc so getting back together with them is fantastic. Phoenix will arrive at Zandvoort on a high having recently won the Nürburgring 24 Hours so the atmosphere will be great in the team.
"Being back in the Audi R8 LMS ultra gives me great pleasure as I feel very much in my zone when I am in it."
Practice is staged on Friday with the qualifying race on Saturday and the one-hour long main race on Sunday.

A STAND at Worcester Warriors' Sixways Stadium was evacuated after a TV camera crane collapsed on to the roof.
The crane came down on the North Stand before the team's Rugby Union Premier League fixture against London Wasps, which was being televised live on BT Sport, began.
It was reported that a cameraman who was working on the crane when it collapsed was unhurt, while spectators were moved to different stands as a precaution.
A fan on the Worcester Warriors' message board said: "'Crane fell on it' is overstating the case somewhat. The hydraulics failed on the huge cherry-picker that BT Sport uses for its high-level shots of the match.
"The platform descended slowly and came gently to rest on the roof of North Stand."
A crowd of about 6,500 people watched Worcester lose 11-13 as their hunt for a league win continues.

Police are appealing for witnesses following a kidnapping in Helston yesterday.
The incident took place at 4.25pm, when a 45-year-old woman from Porthleven was sat in her silver Peugeot 307 car in parking spaces to the side of the Spar shop at the junction of Meneage Road and Furry Way.
As she waited, a man got into the vehicle and threatened her, forcing her to drive away.
The woman drove around half a mile to the Sainsbury's car park on Clodgey Lane where she managed to stop the car, open her door and shout for the man to get out.
He got out of the vehicle and left the car park on foot towards the Sainsbury's roundabout.
The suspect was described as being in his mid-late 30's and of chubby build. He was wearing a dark beanie-style woolly hat and a top with a pattern on the front.
At around 4.40pm hours, the occupants of a nearby property in Esmonde Road, Helston discovered a man inside their property.
The man ran from the property but was detained by one of the householders a short distance away. He stayed with the suspect until the police arrived at the scene.
A 33-year-old man from Mevagissey has been arrested in connection with both incidents and is currently being questioned at Camborne Police Station.
He has been arrested on suspicion of kidnap and burglary.
Sgt. Phil Rowland of Helston police said: "This woman showed great fortitude in what must have been an extremely traumatic experience.
"Thankfully, incidents such as this are very rare in our area and we would like to appeal to members of the public to come forward if they have any information.
"We would particularly appeal to any witnesses of the incident in Sainsbury's car park to come forward as we believe that there were people in the area at the time."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Police on 101 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111, quoting reference AH/12/1387.

Huddersfield survived a last-second scare to pile on the agony for Leeds with a fourth successive win at Headingley to deny the Rhinos a chance to return to the top of the First Utility Super League.
Leeds thought they had snatched a victory when England winger Tom Briscoe won the race to the line to touch down Joel Moon's speculative kick after the final hooter had sounded but video referee Phil Bentham disallowed the score for obstruction, leaving the visitors to celebrate a nailbiting 24-22 success.
It was a third defeat in four league games for Leeds and their first at home this year but the Giants are starting to look the part after claiming a seventh win in their last eight matches.
Leeds, who have not beaten their Yorkshire rivals in seven matches, were missing eight regulars through injury and suspension but they fought to the last in a dramatic clash.
There was little hint of the drama to come when England centre Kallum Watkins showed his class, taking Brett Delaney's pass, and slipping the attempted tackle of Joe Wardle to open the scoring on five minutes.
Leeds' defence - the best in the league - was also made to look average three minutes later when Huddersfield scrum-half Kyle Wood went through a gap left by Ryan Bailey and Stevie Ward to level the scores with Danny Brough's conversion.
The Rhinos re-took the lead when the visiting defenders could not put centre Moon to ground and full-back Ben Jones-Bishop, deputising for the suspended Zak Hardaker, took a return pass to score their second try.
Sinfield's second goal made it 12-6 but both defences tightened considerably in a scoreless second quarter, with Huddersfield ruining some promising build-up work with a series of careless fumbles.
Second rower Brett Ferres failed to make use of a two-man overlap as he was held up over the line and Larne Patrick and Jermaine McGillvary were both brought down agonisingly short as the Giants strove to get level.
The equalising score eventually came seven minutes into the second half when Huddersfield pounced on a handling error deep in his own half by Jones-Bishop.
Ferres and Brough worked the ball from one side of the field to the other and McGillvary took Aaron Murphy's pass to go over at the corner.
Brough's touchline conversion made it 12-12 and the Giants completed the turnaround by adding two further quickfire tries in contrasting fashion to storm into a 12-point lead.
Prop Eorl Crabtree forced his way over from close range and Wardle went in from long range following a clean break by Ferres.
Brough added both conversions but Leeds struck back with two tries in three minutes to put the game on a knife edge.
Prop Bailey powered his way past three defenders to touch down wide out and stand-off Liam Sutcliffe grabbed an opportunist try after the ball bounced loose from Sinfield's kick on the last tackle.
Sinfield could land only one of the goals, though, to leave his side trailing by two points.
Huddersfield thought they had clinched the win when Brough's long pass got winger Jodie Broughton over at the corner but video referee Phil Bentham disallowed the try for an obstruction in the build-up.


text: The Nano Suit is a highly specialized suit of armor. It is made of Carbon Plates and Energy Crystals. They protect the player though an energy field that prevents 90% of all damage (as long as the WHOLE suit is charged), and because the energy field needs energy to work it is almost completely useless uncharged. A full set requires 21 Carbon Plates, 4 Energy Crystals, and 1 Glass. In raw materials this translates to 168 coal, 32 redstone, 4 diamonds and 1 sand. It can be charged in an MFE Unit, an MFSU or a solar panel. The Nano Suit is a main element in the Quantum Suit. The only difference between the two is that the Nano Suit will negate almost all damage, while the Quantum makes the player almost invincible. A recent test, where a player in a Nano Suit was dropped from from 80 blocks, proved that the Nano Suit could easily prevent death in most areas(the player lost 1/2 hearts). Another test in which the player was placed in front of 5 skeletons, also helped to prove that Nano Suit was amazing (the player lost 0 hearts total).[1]

I dont agree with people saying shore vs. beach means they are a benny. Yes, you should say beach but saying you are "going to the shore" basically means you are actually going to the beach at the edge of the shore/shoreline.
How about when I went to the "North Shore" to pipe, sunset and waimea, sounds same to me. Anyway, I guess people refer to "going down the shore" ever since signs went up welcoming people to the jersey shore.--but who knows.

So, the Winter Olympics are over, but what did we really learn now that all the hoopla and hullabaloo have finally died down? Thankfully, only seven things. Exactly seven. No more, no less. Which is good because it fits really well into our current format. Presenting JSF's Top 7: Things We Learned From the Winter Olympics.
1. Sochi: It's Not That Cold
Apparently, being a subtropical beach holiday destination does not preclude you from hosting the Winter Olympics. Get your sales pitch ready, Myrtle Beach, you could be next.
Temperatures in the 50's? I expected the cold, bleak Russian winter to be a little colder and a little bleaker than this. That Billy Joel's full of shit, man.
2. The Opening Ceremonies Just Keep Getting Weirder
Seriously, what the hell was that? It was like Killer Klowns From Outer Space meets Alice In Wonderland meets Hunger Games meets Super Mario Bros. meets Dark Side of the Moon at the Staerkel Planetarium. I'm good on nightmare fuel for a while. Thanks, Putin.
3. When in Sochi, Don't Wash Your Face
A lesson Bob Costas learned the hard way:
Too bad his good friend Tony La Russa didn't warn him. The former
White Sox A's Cardinals Major League Baseball manager knows the dangers of the Sochi room service hot towel treatment all too well.
4. T.J. Oshie…More Like…T.J. Sochi! Am I Right?? Who's With Me?
Although I'm not nearly clever enough to come up with that nickname, this guy is. Nevertheless, I do love repeating it ad naseam. Never mind that the U.S. men's hockey team came up short in its quest for a medal. They beat the Russians in an all-time classic, making Oshie St. Louis' greatest thing since sliced provel pizza pitchman David Freese.
A St. Louis professional athlete hasn't received this kind of mass attention since Freese crushed a pitch from Mark Lowe into tomorrow night. Sure, Oshie can handle all the interviews and media requests, he can even ride an eagle. But the real question is, can he sing the "Square Beyond Compare" jingle?
5. Payback Is A Bitch
After listening to the Russians whine about the disallowed goal that helped the Americans get to the shootout that catapulted Oshie to global stardom, I could only think of one thing: "Waaaah, too freaking bad. Why don't you go invade the Ukraine or something?"
Oh, right. Well, the Ukraine is weak.
Remember how the U.S. men's basketball team was screwed in 1972, giving the Russians the gold? Me neither! But I'm pretty sure I watched a 30 for 30 or Outside the Lines or whatever on it, which means that damn Chris Connelly probably made me cry.
6. The Russian National Anthem And the Anthem Played During the Closing Credits of "Red Heat" are the Same Song
Who knew? See for yourself.
Begging the question, with so much on the line in terms of national pride, reports of terror threats, and last minute hotel renovations, how did the Soviets – I mean Russians – deal with all the tension and stress of hosting the Winter Olympics?
7. Besides Hockey, Other Dumb Sports Were Played That You Know Damn Good and Well You Would Never Otherwise Watch In a Million, Billion Years
These include various forms of Group Sledding, Ice Shuffleboard, Skiing, and my personal favorite, Skiing While Shooting Things. Also, MTV's X Games has a signficant presence, which is good for NBC and that highly sought after 15-24 demographic. Cha-ching.

Nuriel Abramov Co-founder Senior Stylist Change a haircut and you change a woman — at least that's the case if you're Nuriel Abramov. Once upon a time the Numi co-owner and senior stylist gave a chic new style to a woman with a formerly boxy cut — and taking a cue from her new look, she unleashed her inner fashionista. "She began dressing differently," says Abramov. "I love giving confidence back to a woman. If a woman doesn't like the way she looks, she doesn't like the way she feels. Give her the right cut and right away, everything changes." For years, Abramov's tapped into his transformative powers at New York City's exclusive Kim LePine and Rosario Acquista salons. Along with glamorizing Manhattan's most elite residents, his training included primping reality TV stars for shows like America's Top Model, and stylizing celebrities during fashion shoots for InStyle and Allure. While working at Static Salon in White Plains, where he met co-owner Gabriel Abrams, he saw a real demand in Westchester for New York City-caliber services. "I wanted to give Westchester women something that's fresh and new," he says, "an upscale salon, where you can always count on great service and an excellent haircut. We're small, cozy, elegant and friendly. We're very boutiquey. " An upscale atmosphere and friendly service may be a recipe for success, but don't forget the main ingredient—a terrific haircut. And that's the real reason to book Abramov: He knows hair. Your hair. Your sister's hair. Your best friend's hair. In fact, he's committed to educating you about it. "I tell my clients what will work for them and what will not. Most of my cuts are wash-and-go," he says. "I specialize in building volume on fine hair, chic bobs, and short hair. I help make the most of a woman's natural beauty." And of course, that includes cutting-edge treatments like Brazilian Blowouts and Keratin hair smoothing, which Abramov performs himself. Think your ready to love your hair — and feel great about how you look overall? Hop into Ambrov's chair and let the magic begin. Gabriel Abrams Co-founder Senior Stylist The senior stylist and co-founder of Numi Salon worked his way up the styling ladder at the renowned New York City-based John Frieda and Warren-Tricomi salons, where he often tamed celebrity tresses. Thanks to his prestigious training, he's able to "take big hair ideas and put them into a small salon with great service," he says. "I took a piece of everything that worked in other salons and created a unique brand right here." Catering to the whole person — not just a head of hair — is what Numi is all about. And in Abrams' chair that starts with his rare ability to see things in women they often fail to see in themselves. "Every cut starts with a vision," says Abrams. "Nobody wants to come in and think, OK, that's it." His secret to great hair is great shape, which comes from the cut. "I'm more of a cutter than a stylist; I enjoy creating shape. It makes the cut last longer." Abrams specializes in long, layered cuts, so it's no surprise he's a favorite of women under 40. "I believe in less-is-more—less handling, less blow-drying, less fuss for you," he says. Sit in his chair and the 26 year-old stylist will tell you about the trendiest places to eat in the city, the latest gossip around town, and yes, what it's like to work on celebrity locks. But while hobnobbing with Oscar winners may be a job perk, according to him, the best part of being a stylist is that you can make everyday women feel terrific. "A client can come in unhappy with how he or she looks, and I can change that in an hour. I love that," he laughs.

APPRENTICE star and award-winning businesswoman Karren Brady CBE was the VIP guest as a Redditch training provider launched its new training academy.
The West Ham United vice chairman, most recently seen putting candidates through their paces on BBC's The Apprentice, was the guest speaker at the official unveiling of eResponse Recruitment's trio of training academies in Redditch, Worcester and Kidderminster.
Ms Brady delivered a 40-minute speech alongside eResponse's Paul Alekna in front of almost 200 guests.
The new network of training academies can cater for up to 200 delegates each day – and will help address the skills gaps for local firms hiring employees.
As part of the launch, eResponse, formed in 2003 by local brothers Paul and Joe Alekna, has assembled a new team of professional trainers who will help enhance and bring new skills to local employers.
The event follows a big year for eResponse, which in December was named in the Sunday Times Fast Track 100 for the first time ever, ranked at number 65.
Paul Alekna said: "The economy is accelerating and businesses here in Redditch and the wider county won't be able to take advantage of all the opportunities presented to them unless they can find a way to get the talent needed to deliver.
"The problem is the skills gap. Employers have vacancies but what's available in today's labour market doesn't always reflect what they want. And that's where we believe we can really make a difference and address the needs of the employers we work with.
"We're here to help bridge the skills gap. Combining recruitment and training together not only addresses any skill shortages but it also enhances an employer's reputation making them more attractive to future talent and people considering a career move
"With our training academies now officially launched I am certain they will play a vital role in the local economy throughout 2014 and beyond."
Ms Brady added: "To hear of the fantastic work firms like eResponse are doing was terrific.
"They are taking the right approach at the right time. It's not just about recruitment, it's also about preparing people to move into jobs, improving their skills and providing employers with the best talent available."
