karlreading - Monday, August 30, 2004 - linki braught the chaintech vnf3-250 based on the review it recieved at AT and TBPH its a cracking motherboard, plus it easily gets my 2ghz a64-3200+ to 2.4 ghz and lets you run 1ghz HT if u running the cpu stock, something whic supposidly only the nf3 ultra let u do.all in all a very fast, very reliable, very overclockerbul motherboard which i have NMO regrets about buying :) Reply
lem79 - Friday, August 06, 2004 - linkI have the Epox 8KDA3+ here with an Athlon64 2800+, runs nice, except for one quirk, which Anandtech failed to mention here (they probably didn't even know)..
Cool'n'Quiet only works on this board when _one_ DIMM slot is in use (that is, DIMM1). If there's RAM in DIMM2 and DIMM3 slots, Cool'n'Quiet gets disabled by the BIOS (July revision, earlier BIOS images leave it enabled, but Cool'n'Quiet activation causes system instability and lockups). Epox themselves told me that this was the case.
I think the review needs updating.. Reply
operator - Sunday, June 06, 2004 - linkI have the same question as #25. with a small addition.
when will the msi k8n or the epox board be available in Canada? Reply
Zebo - Wednesday, June 02, 2004 - linkThis is a very good review Wesley, thanks. I really like how you went into detail with memory and boards FSB capabilites for the clockers out here.:) Looks like the Chaintech is the board for me. Cheap and a real performer. It's really to bad nVidia failed to have a decent sound solution though. Reply
Sk0t - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkNice review.... BUT Im unable to understand why the Epox 8KDA3+ was awarded gold, and MSI K8n Neo Platinum only awarded silver ?
Epox pros over MSI:
6th pci-slot
Slightly better overclocking
MSI pros over Epox:
3 working dimm sockets (at 400mhz)
Slightly better layout (dimm-sockets)
Supports Cool&Quiet*
*Since the review seems to completly ignore cool&quiet (unless i missed it?) I will stick to my current rule of thumb, that only Asus & MSI fully supports this feature
Did I miss some wonderfull feature on the Epox ? or was slightly better overclocking considered more important than features & layout ? Reply
gmenfan - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkDoes anyone know when the MSI K8N Neo will be available? Thanks. Reply
mbf - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkNice review! I just have one question; how can there be boards *without* ECC support, when the A64 has the memory controller on-die and it *inherently* supports unbuffered ECC memory? I'm especially thinking of the Epox and MSI boards, since they interest me the most (hardware firewall et al).
Actually, I wrote to MSI (US) about this and was told that indeed ECC is supported and the "non-ECC" statement on the product spec page was erroneous. The page was immediately updated (http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?mode... However, only the US site has been updated, and neither the manual (PDF) nor the BIOS available from the MSI Taiwan site state ECC support. Neither do the manual or BIOS for the Epox board.
As ECC support is pretty important to me having had some bitter experiences with regular memory, I was wondering if some kind person at Anandtech might be persuaded to throw in a stick of unbuffered ECC memory into either the K8N Neo or the Epox 8KDA3 and let me know if the memory is detected as such? I'd really appreciate the effort!
I know the ASUS K8N-E Deluxe (http://www.asus.com.tw/products/mb/socket754/k8n-e... states ECC support, but it's anyone's guess when that board will be out, since they cannot even make their mind up if the board is to be shown on their home page or not (right now it is, tomorrow it may not).
l3ored - Tuesday, June 01, 2004 - linkprice is mentioned as a component in electing the epox as the gold winner, so whats the current street price? Reply
SilverRyu - Monday, May 31, 2004 - linkDo you think shuttle will make a 250Gb or K8T800Pro XPC? Reply
cnq - Monday, May 31, 2004 - linkWesley,
Nice writeup...
A question about overclocking: you tested at 1:1 ratios, meaning you didn't really find the bounds of the FSB/HTT so much as you found the bounds of the PC4400 RAM that you used. If you had dropped the RAM ratio, do you have any indication which boards could have topped 300 MHz? I am of course thinking of your great AK89 Max review from a few weeks back, where you made waves by showing FSB/HTT speeds of 347 MHz. Will you have time to do similar tests on these new boards? (Or, for that matter, can I ask why you didn't do similar tests on these new boards? Is it merely because ClockGen hasn't yet been ported to NF250?)
I'd also like to second the suggestion made by posting #1 (he mentions aceshardware.com. techreport.com has also chimed in with recent articles on the subject. Not surprisingly, their conclusion is to just avoid cheap Realtek products if you want good CPU utilization. And sudhian.com found great ethernet performance with low CPU overhead from the NF250-GB chip's embedded controller.)
Odeen - Monday, May 31, 2004 - linkThere is a difference between SATA native to chipset, and SATA native to the OS.
SATA native to chipset means the chipset runs the SATA internally, off the Hypertransport or V-Link bandwidth, which is at least a gigabyte/second.
Intel's implementation of SATA is cool because to the OS it emulates a standard IDE controller. (Thus it's "native" to the OS.) The downside of this approach is that every OS other than XP gets horribly confused seeing two primary and two secondary controllers. (i.e. your PATA1 is Primary, your PATA2 is Secondary, your SATA1 is.. again Primary) Without "compatibility" options in the BIOS, which limits you to four drives total (i.e. SATA channels become masters on IDE1 and IDE2, with PATA masters becoming slaves, and PATA slaves dropping off the map, or, as an alternative, PATA2 disappearing, and SATA1 and SATA2 becoming PATA1 Master and PATA1 Slave) Win2K and DOS-based utilities (such as bootable Antivirus or Partitioning program CD's and utilities like the drive test disks that you get with a hard drive,) fail on startup.
Running SATA as a SCSI-over-IDE, requiring drivers, is a more flexible approach, but requires the use of driver floppies. Still, there's something neat about having four drives all hooked up as masters (2 SATA / 2 PATA) and installing XP without driver floppies.
I'm not sure how it can be remotely possible with a 4 drive SATA controller, though. Reply
sprockkets - Monday, May 31, 2004 - linkDoes anybody know if the NF3 chipset has any functionality similar to Intel's SATA, like is SATA done natively without needing any special drivers or programs for the os to use or understand? Reply
rms - Monday, May 31, 2004 - linkI also would have preferred to see feature benchmarking instead of cpu/memory benchmarking.
rms Reply
Zak - Sunday, May 30, 2004 - link2 RAM slots on the Abit mobo??? They call THAT an improvement??? Why can't there be at least 4? With 1GB chips' prices being still very high that would be a major selling point for many. I'd upgrade my mobo instantly if I could stick 4 512MB DDR400 chips and not have them run at 333...
Zak Reply
Odeen - Sunday, May 30, 2004 - linkI'm very surprised that none of the motherboards except for MSI actually implemented all the features of their chipsets. Both the NF3-250GB and the K8T800 Pro support 4 chipset-level SATA ports, but only MSI has all 4. If it wasn't for that Corecell silliness, I'd be taking a long, hard look at the MSI board. Reply
Crassus - Sunday, May 30, 2004 - linkWhats the point of showing benchmarks when all the boards perform within margin of error? When the memory controller is part of the CPU there's IMHO little point in benchmarking it.
Why not go after the components that make a bigger difference, esp. HDD, Ethernet and stuff in terms of throughput, CPU utilisation and so? Reply
JustAnAverageGuy - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - link#11
In RAM, generally speed increases are more noticible in real world performance than timings.
Obviously if you have 400 cas 3-3-3-8, versus 400 cas 2-2-2-11, 2-2-2-11 would win. Generally though, speed is more important than timings after a certain point.
bigtoe33 - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - link#9
I think you may have one of these supposed 3000 boards that have non-pro chipsets that Abit says are pro chipsets but really appear to be not..
I would take your issue to Abit. Reply
qquizz - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - linkConcerning the overclock. I can overclock the crap out of my XP2100+, but I keep it at levels where it's stable using Prime95 and Memtest. I wonder if these overclocks can meet my standards? Reply
gplracer - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - linkAll of the ram in this comparision was CAS3. I wonder how the CAS3 at 270mhz compares to CAS@ at 250mhz. I run my corsair at that speed now. Reply
intercollector - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - linkI'm a little surprised to see why the MSI K8N didn't get the gold compared to the Epox. Both seem almost identical in every way, except that the K8N seems to include Firewire. Shouldn't this feature make it surpass the Epox board?
The only downside of the MSI board seems to be the limit of a 300 max FSB, which is probably fine for 99.99% of overclockers. Reply
Klaasman - Saturday, May 29, 2004 - link#7-
Thanks for link, but my KV8 Pro still wont boot when selecting "fixed" in bios setup.
Why wouldn't my board have the pro chip? Manufacturing screw up maybe? Reply
Wesley Fink - Friday, May 28, 2004 - link#6 -
Bank Interleaving is not an option in any of the BIOS' tested here. Many current BIOS enable Bank interleaving by default. Where it is an option, we definitely enable the best interleaving option available and list what we set in the memory chart. We are not ignoring this option. Reply
bigtoe33 - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkIf you are looking for the latest Abit KV8 pro bios have a look here. http://www.bleedinedge.com/download/bios/abit%20am...
multi support and PCI lock inc. if your pro board won't lock the pci bus with this bios then your board may not have the pro chipset. Reply
Myrandex - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkWell after finishing the article, I was wondering why none of the boards are run with bank interleaving on? Doesn't it increase memory performance for the ones that support it? Reply
Myrandex - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkOn the KV8 spec page, it states:
Onboard USB 2.0/IEEE-1394 8 USB 2.0 ports supported by nF3-250
No FireWire
Should be K8T800 Pro instead of nF3-250. Reply
Myrandex - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkReply
Klaasman - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkWhat revision of KV8 Pro were you using and what bios version?
Nobody else with a recently purchased KV8 can get the locks to work. How come your board does? Reply
Aikouka - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkAnandtech should have looked at the problem that the Chaintech VNF3-250 has with it's RAID and installing an OS, and the problem where the board refuses to boot from SATA if you enable RAID on any IDE HDDs. People've said they've been able to circumvent it, but I haven't got it to work yet, and Chaintech is worthless when it comes to customer service. I received an automated response about 6 or 7 days after my initial submission on their website (they have no US phone number.) And I still have not received an email from a representative yet. Reply
RyanVM - Friday, May 28, 2004 - linkIf there's so little variation in system performance between these, why not look at other aspects like USB throughput/CPU utilization, IDE/SATA throughput, ethernet throughput/CPU utilization, etc.
Ace's Hardware just did a great article showing that the rather crummy components being used these days on cheaper motherboards have a pretty large impact in performance in those areas.

Supply goes up or demand goes down???
7. sandysingh252 (Posts: 27; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
It's easy to publish anything when the researches are for USA only and everyone forgets that USA isn't the big name for surveys nowadays!!! Come to countries like India and China, where suppliers are begging (actually insisting) the dealers to buy at least 3 iPhone 4S with 1 iPhone 5, so that they can prove to the world that Metal Glass brick sells very well!

A product as great as the i5 has high demand.
4. wumberpeb (Posts: 453; Member since: 14 Mar 2011)
It's artificial demand to create the illusion of real demand, you know it as well as I do. Many stores havent gotten halfway through their waiting lists a month out because they're only getting 3 a week. Either it's terrible yield on their LCDs or its artificial demand, but I've got an idea
5. darkkjedii (Posts: 25052; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Or maybe just maybe. The article is correct, nahhhh that couldn't b it lmao. U guys crack me up with this stuff. The iPhone 5 is n huge demand and that's that.

21. CreeDiddy (Posts: 957; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
I would like to see Apple add a 5.95" model to the iPhone 5. Make it edge to edge screen and make it run iPad HD apps.
Price it around $299 and $399 respectively on a 2-year contract. They could come in 32GB and 64GB models. This would change the game for Apple and would allow them to display their dominance. MSRP would be $849 and $949 off contract.
This would be killer!!!

The Appraisers Association presents, "American Illustration in New Jersey," a connoisseurship study day focusing on valuation and historical elements related to the works of noteworthy American illustrators including: Norman Rockwell, Thomas Nast, A.B. Frost, Douglas Allen and N.C. Wyeth. Held during New York City's American Art Auction Week, this program will begin at the Newark Museum, where Chief Curator Ulysses Dietz and Dr. Tom Folk will lead a tour and in-depth discussion on The American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell, which traces the evolution of Rockwell's art and iconography throughout his career. The exhibition, organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, includes such beloved Rockwell classics as "Freedom from Want (Thanksgiving)" and "No Swimming." Following the Newark Museum, attendees will dine on a three course lunch at Grand Cafe in Morristown, one of New Jersey's finest restaurants. Lunch is included in the program fee.
After lunch, the program will resume at The Morristown and Morris Township Public Library, where James Lewis, Department Manager of the North Jersey History and Genealogy Center, will present important pieces from the collection. The Library has one of the finest collections of oil paintings and works on paper by noteworthy American Political satirist, Thomas Nast. The highlight is Nast's "Grand Caricaturama," a 9 x 12 foot oil painting displaying well-known political figures, like Ulysses Grant, on a carousel. Mr. Lewis will also display and discuss works by A.B. Frost, another leading New Jersey illustrator. Lastly, highly-regarded wildlife painter and illustrator, Douglas Allen, will host attendees at his home in Neshanic Station. After studying at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art with John Grabach and noted illustrator W.J. Aylward, Mr. Allen continued his studies at Paul Branson's Teton Artist School in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, becoming a noted wildlife artist once his illustrations of big game appeared in Outdoor Life Magazine. Influenced by American illustrators of the past, he authored the book, N.C. Wyeth: The Collected Paintings, Illustrations and Murals (1972). Mr. Allen will share his thoughts and research on this legendary illustrator.

text: phayer 150 Report post Posted March 17, 2014 So I'm stuck, and can't seem to figure out what the "right way" to solve this is. I'm using enet - and the "enet_host_service" which takes care of sending and receiving data takes a timeout, like 10ms or 5000ms - whatever. The problem is; how large should this be? 1ms? Cause the wait freezes the rest of the thread, of course. But if I have two threads, one that reads from the top of a list(simulation) and another one that writes to the bottom of the list(network) - wouldn't that impact performance hard and in some cases cause problems with locking? Another thing I thought about was using zeromq(zmq) internally as I then don't have to think about locking, but I'm very unsure about zeromq when it comes to latency. Any suggestions? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincennes University (Vincennes, Indiana) has formed a partnership with Indianapolis, Indiana-based Hurco designed to further manufacturing education. The VU College of Technology has chosen Hurco CNC machining and turning centers for use in its Precision Machining Lab. Hurco has pledged to continually upgrade the machine tools, giving students consistent access to the latest equipment.
The university also recently entered into a training arrangement with Index Corporation, located in Noblesville, Indiana. This year, Index hosted four VU manufacturing technology students for three weeks at its 100,000-square-foot sales and engineering facility. These senior-year students had a chance to work with Index and Traub machine tools and learn more about working at an OEM machine tool vendor. The company plans to extend the offer to a new group of students next year.

JarredWalton - Thursday, March 24, 2005 - linkjwf1776 sent me a reply email which updates the situation. I'll just post the text with links here:
I don't know why I sent you the link the to enermax site, because the site does make it seem like its atx 2.03 ... but it's all lies...
The manual I got with the power supply was pretty clear about which models had 24pin rails. They have a 24P on the model number or something.
Anyways, the maxpoint site (American enermax distributor?) has the correct stats at
Also here is a review of the part
Both sites make clear its atx 1.3
So, there you have it: the Enermax 375 is *not* a 24-pin EPS 12V compliant motherboard. It *does* have dual rails, which may be sufficient, but that's not the same as supporting the ATX 2.0x standard. It looks like Enermax needs to fix their spec pages.... Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 23, 2005 - linkjwf1776: I sent this in an email to him as well, but here's my question to you all: is this a case of false advertising by Enermax or not? Here is an image for the alternative PSU:
It doesn't have a 24-pin connector, per se, but it has a 20 pin with a second 4-pin connector that makes it into a 24-pin. Note that there is *also* a second 4-pin +12V adapter for the standard P4 power connector. Unless someone can confirm that the PSU doesn't include the two 4-pin adapters, I believe it still qualifies as a 24-pin PSU.

looking at those X300HM, you can clearly see the higher memory HyperMemory cards fair better with AA than the higher clocked low memory ones
scrolling down the page, their isn't a direct 32MB/64MB comparison of the 6200TC but both are benched and you can see the 64MB 6200TC is faster than the 32MB only when AA is on
I guess it doesn't entirely matter though given the 32MB one can't even be found on newegg ATM(or atleast i couldn't find one) Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - link41 - Ah, that could very well be. In that case, I'd be curious to see the difference in performance between the 32MB and 64MB 64-bit TC cards. :| Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - link42 - I had no idea Rosewill was related to Newegg. Newegg itself is just the online reseller of another company, ABS Computers or some such. At least, that was my understanding. Rosewill's RMA process seems a little questionable (i.e. restrictive), which doesn't really jive with them being Newegg. Of course, maybe it's just Newegg's way to sell certain products without needing to provide as much customer support? Reply
Zepper - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkJust in case the author didn't know, Rosewill isn't an independent company. It is the in-house packaging division of Newegg (like Mad Dog is to CompUSA, etc.). You can often find the same item for less under its actual name than in a Rosewill box.
Jep4444 - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkThe one benchmarked in the article under the name 64b is the 32MB/64bit one as mentioned on the first page and the 32b is 16MB/32bit
I've seen a couple benches suggesting that the onboard RAM only makes a noticeable difference when AA is turned on at which point the 32MB cards seem to hit rock bottom dropping a significant amount of FPS(the ATI one does it too) Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkJep4444 - I'm still not entirely sure on whether the 6200TC-32 is a 32-bit or 64-bit interface. Looking at the performance, it appears to be a 32-bit interface as the TC-64 beats it by a large margin. Then again, the presence of more local memory might cause the performance difference. Anyway, regardless of whether the TC-32 is a 32-bit or 64-bit interface, I would definitely stick with the TC-64 or full 6200 over the TC-16/32. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - link38 - I changed to the 9550 after the earlier corrections, as I had a 9600SE initially. I'll fix the text to suggest the purchase of a fanless 9550 and make the 9600 reference more appropriate. Thanks. Reply
doganti - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkThe article reads:
"AGP Graphics Recommendation:MSI Radeon 9550 128MB DDR 128-bit, 250/400 GPU/RAM clock (bulk/OEM)
There isn't a whole lot to differentiate the 9550 cards from one another, as they are all fanless.."
I have Asus A9550 GE - Radeon 9550,128MB DDR,128 Bit and it has a fan (which has turned bad=noisy in a month).
Thus, also this is not clear: ".... The Radeon 9600 (without the SE) is also a decent alternative that will only cost an extra $15, and with it, you bump the memory bus up to 128-bits."
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - link31 - If you can afford the bump to Athlon 64 3000+, the MSI RS480M2-IL would definitely be my pick for a board with IGP. Unfortunately, that adds $75 for the CPU upgrade (relative to the Sempron 2600+), but it also improves performance a decent amount. The ATI Xpress 200 is currently the best (BY FAR!) IGP on the market. It gives you S-VIDEO as well as VGA out. Too bad it doesn't have a DVI port as well. :)
If that's too much... well, there are a lot of NF2 IGP boards for under $70. The NF2 is probably the better IGP between that and the K8M800 chipset, but the socket 754 CPUs are generally faster. With the price differences between platforms, I'd probably shoot for the Sempron 3000+ on socket A if you go for that platform. (The Barton core is simply the better choice, IMO.) That would compare relatively well with the socket 754 Sempron 2800+ - win some, lose some in benchmarks. I guess it really doesn't matter *too* much if you're not looking for the best performance possible. $150 gets you a decent CPU and mobo for socket A of socket 754, while on socket 939 it only gets you a CPU.
For the other comments, the PDP isn't great for overclocking, but with a price now at $130 and 2-3-2-5 timings, I'd take the GB of RAM even at stock speeds. If it OCs decently, great. If it doesn't, you should still be fine at stock speeds.
The Hitachi drives may not have the best RMA process, but let's be honest: if you need to use the RMA on *any* hard drive, you'll be very unhappy. I don't think any of the 7200 drives would fail in most systems if they're the only HDD. Just don't put a bunch of them next to each other without proper cooling. At $60 for an 80GB drive, I would probably make backups and if the HDD failed I'd buy a new drive while I RMA'ed the old one. That's just me, though.
Finally, the motherboard area is just such a hard one to give *one* recommendation. Even a recommendation and alternative doesn't really do justice to the available parts. There are so many good boards these days that are all within close proximity in terms of price. If I were looking for socket 939 boards, I'd go as follows in terms of chipsets:
nForce 4 (preferrably not 4X, but any are good)
ATI Xpress 200 (not many available yet)
nForce 3 Ultra
VIA K8T800 Pro
ALi/ULi/SiS whatever
I'd go with the top three over the bottom three by a pretty significant margin. K8T800 Pro is now about 9 months old, IIRC. It's still okay, but I wouldn't look to save money by going that route. The nF3 is the same, but it's the better chipset for AGP, IMO. Given the price the K8T800 Pro usually wins out, however. Reply
Messudieh - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkI have the PDP RAM that you mentioned in your review, and I can honestly say that the ability to overclock any one set is sort of a crap shoot it seems. It sounds to me like they use a couple of different types of chips (some being the TCCD chips, while others Infineon) that can all run at the stated 2-3-2-5 speeds, at 2.6 volts in my case.
I think I got a set of something other than TCCDs, because I can't overclock them past about 210 with ANY timings on a DFI NF4 ultra-D with a watercooled 939 3000 and keep it stable, even at 3.1 or 3.2 volts.
Like I said...it's a crap shoot; some people get lucky, and others don't. I'm getting this RAM:

Do they make socket 939 Semrpons?
As for me, I went with the MSI ATi based board and am very happy. Put in a 939 3000+, and a Hitachi 80GB SATA II drive. The Hitachi was only $62 at ZipZoonFly. So for a tad more got SATA II (I know, no SATA II controller on this board, but at least the drive has it). The board also has slightly better than average onboard sound, going with the Realtek ALC658C, not the 650 or 655 found in other boards.
Eventually will put a capture card and mid-level video card. I now have a pretty fast system for the price. Oh, went with the 1GB PDP Patriot memory in the article. No problems to report with anything. Very, very happy with the setup. Reply

razor2025 - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkWhy no mention of MSI Neo4-F? It's less than the Chaintech @ $95 shipped at ZZF and it has same PCB as the Neo4 Platinum. That's much better choice over the Chaintech if you're going NF4 route. I also belive that the Xpress200 chipset should've been included as alternative. It's the perfect board for budget PC and it'll allow LOTS of options for upgrades later down the road. The only downside is that the MSI's uATX board doesn't have any OC capability, but who's looking for that in a budget-minded PC?
If AMD can get a Sempron out for Socket 939 for around $100... then we can have some really nice sub $400-500 PC with lots of options for upgrade. Reply
jxtramd - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkOK I've followed the budget guide now for about 6 months and I'm on the cusp of a decision about building an AMD IGP based system. The choices are either from the Jan 05 guide with the MSI (or other) MB with the nForce2 IGP or the Mar 05 Chaintech (or other) MB with the VIA K8M800 IGP. Both systems with an appropiate Sempron 2600 and 512 memory. Between the two which combo gives the better graphics performance? I'm not interested in gaming. Just a basic system with the ability to capture video and watch DVD's as examples. A IGP system fits my budget - any comments? Reply

LoneWolf15 - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkNote on the Hitachi hard disk drives:
Hitachi is the ONLY major company that does not allow advance-exchange RMA of their hard disks. To me, this is huge when looking at a hard disk. Western Digital, Seagate, and Maxtor all have advanced exchange. After the nightmares I have had with IBM and Hitachi technical support, I could not in all honesty recommend them in a system. Personally, I can't afford that kind of downtime, having an advance replacement makes it easier to try and recover data from a crashed drive if necessary, and you aren't waiting in limbo while someone receives your defective drive, checks it in, diagnoses it bad, then sends you out a replacement, also placing you at the mercy of their stock-on-hand or whomever they choose to ship to you the replacement drive.

As a side note, RAM prices have suddenly taken a massive cut. The PDP 2-3-2-5 is now $20 less than last week, and it's about $50 less than a couple months ago. Heck, you can even get 1GB (2x512) of Corsair CL2.5 for under $100 now - again, $50 less than last Guide! Reply

JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - link24 - you want benchmarks of the speakers? Sorry, that's *way* beyond the scope of this Guide. Speakers costing $60 or less aren't being purchased primarily for their quality; they're being selected for price.
If you mean benchmarks in general, that's something that would be great to have but not practical to do. Our various hardware reviews are meant to address the theory of what makes a good component/computer. For many of the parts in a budget system, price is a bigger factor than the final performance or quality. Sure, we'd like to have both, but the truth is you're not going to get SLI in a budget system. We do not have all of the parts available in one location for testing, and some of the parts may not even be in AnandTech's possession [anymore]. This is especially true of entry-level Guides, as many of the parts were new a year or more in the past
If you'd like specific information or you have a specific question, feel free to email me. Reply
crimson117 - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkI'd appreciate if you could add some benchmarks to compare "beeps and boops" quality. This guide is pretty much worthless without them. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - linkThe MSI uATX is the only ATI Xpress 200 board currently available, and it's basically the same price as the Chaintech. Given that it's still pretty new, I'm a little hesitant to go with that over the "proven" nF4. Oh, and there are *no* overclocking options on the MSI board right now. Is that a BIOS problem or a chipset problem? I don't know. If you really like ATI or if you want a uATX form factor, it's definitely an option. Reply
kmmatney - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkI'd consider the MSI ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 motherboard board for a budget system as well. From reviews I've read, using the on-board video doesn't seem to degrade overall 2D performance.
Pair it with an Athlon 64 3000+ winchester for $235. A decent system for the non or light gamer, and you have the option of upgrading the video later. Too bad there aren't any budget 939 cpus.
JarredWalton - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkI haven't had issues with the Chaintech, but that's only one person's experience with a specific RAM/GPU setup. The documentation is pretty lacking, but other than that it works well. Are you speaking from personal experience, and if so, what was the exact configuration (RAM, CPU, PSU, etc.)? It works well in the following configuration, although I had to manually set the RAM timings:
Athlon64 3500+
Chaintech nForce4 VNF4
ATI X800 XL 256MB PCIe
1GB (2x512) Corsair DDR400 CAS2.5
Antec True430 PSU
SB Audigy 2 ZS
As for the DVD+RW, why save $20 when there won't be anything faster than a 16X burner, and the ability to backup 4.5GB of data rather than 700MB can come in handy? (And if that sounds like too much data, consider that a lot of people take digital pictures these days. A few hundred high quality images will fill a CD.) I mentioned the possibility to downgrade the optical drive, but I'm not going to recommend it. Reply
mostlyprudent - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkAre you serious ... recommending a motherboard with compatability and stability problems just to save $10? And why put a DVD-RW drive in a budget system? Optical drives are quite simple to upgrade down the road. You would have to be crazy to skimp on the quality of the motherboard to fit in an upgraded optical drive. You can get a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive for about $20 less than the NEC drive you suggest. I would take that $20 dollars and invest it in a stable/reliable motherboard -- there is nothing worse than a finiky mobo as far as I'm concerned. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - link17 - The older Maxtor are like the older WD: they use standard bearings and are prone to develop a whine (in my experience). If you can verify that the drive has fluid dynamic bearings, you could get Maxtor as well. I haven't had great experiences with the Maxtor drives, although I've heard the latest models are better. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - link15 - Sorry, I meant "9550" but typed "5500". The article lists the correct card, though. :o Most of the FX cards aren't worth consideration.
As for the 6200TC, there are actually 3 versions, all of which were tested in the AnandTech article. There is a 16MB 16-bit card (one RAM chip), a 32MB 32-bit card (two RAM chips), and a 64MB 64-bit card (four RAM chips). The 32MB cards are not a 64-bit interface as far as I am aware. Many companies are causing confusion on the TC cards as they'll count the PCIe connection as bandwidth in order to make the features look better. Even if the RAM were 700 MHz instead of 550 MHz, you're looking at 2800 MBps on-card bandwidth for the 32-bit version vs. 4400 MBps on the 64-bit version. In theory, the PCIe connection will add an additional 2000 MBps (roughly - 2000 up and 2000 down) , but some of the RAM bandwidth is going to the CPU.
16 - I'd take the guaranteed 6600 for $7 more over the 6200. The 6200 also lacks support for certain memory compression schemes as I understand it. Reply
Klober - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkI know this is a minor point, but I'm curious as to why Maxtor isn't mentioned in the price guide for hard drives. Is there something I don't know about them concerning speed, noise or reliability? Reply
filterxg - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkTo most people I'd continue to recommend a 6200 over a 6600 vanilla. Rivatuner unlocks the 4 pipelines (softmod), so it becomes an indentical card. Reply

you seem to be confusing cards, i'm talking about the 32MB/64bit part thats clocked at 700mhz(as opposed to 550mhz of the 64MB one)
you're thinking of the 16MB version thats 32bit
PS who said to use the 5500? he mentioned the 9550 which is faster than the 5500
JarredWalton - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - link13 - Regarding refurb, that's something for the individual to decide. Warranty and availability are limited, so we don't recommend them in Guides. I still don't know about the Chaintech, as I can't find concrete information on specs for the Ultra vs. standard. According to Chaintech, it's the standard nF4 vs. the Ultra, which means the only thing that gets lost is SATA-2 support and a few network "enhancements". They're the same chipset with different resistors cut. Reply
Fricardo - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkSame as those above, I'd say go with a 6600 non-gt for the upgraded setup. If you're actually going to upgrade the vid-card -- indicating you care somewhat about gaming -- you might as well do it right and spend the extra $7.
Is it worth the $10 savings to go from the Ultra mobo to the vanilla? I don't know but I've heard that chipset wasn't made to OC well. Seems like you'd get a bit more value and $99 is still a great price for a mobo. I'm just wondering.
Another possibility for reducing cost is refurbed parts. I've been looking through NewEgg's refurb video section lately and there's tons of great cards for cheap. PCI-Express too. It seems to me you can really raise value that way. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkOh, as far as the budget PCIe card recommendation going to the 64MB 6200TC, please read the benchmarks in our 6200TC article before saying that the 32MB/32-bit version is better (due to memory speeds). The bump from 32-bit to 64-bit more than makes up for the slower RAM (if it is indeed slower). The 64MB 6200TC also beats the X300 in *every* test, so there's no reason to go with the X300 card unless you insist on ATI.
I'm actually not fully convinced the "TurboCache" architecture really works all that well. Looking at the various cards, the performance scales almost directly with local memory bandwidth. But that's a topic for another day. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkOops... some bad picks on the GPUs this time. I keep forgetting the 5500. I have updated the GPU page with new picks, and will shortly update the summaries. I guess after seeing 6600 AGP prices I forgot that the PCIe cards were substantially less. Sorry.
I also corrected the VNF4 to omit the Ultra. I can't tell if the Ultra includes Firewire support or not. Newegg, at least, is using the same images for both models. I think that's what threw me off in the first place. Reply
rivethead - Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - linkSorry about my post #7. I just re-read it and I wasn't very clear.
What I was trying to say is that I think you're wanting to recommend the Chaintech VNF4 mother board (currently $89 shipped from newegg). This board is different than the Chaintech VNF4/Ultra which is about $100 shipped. For the extra $11, you get a motherboard powered by the nvidia nForce 4 Ultra chip which includes onboard firewall, SATA2 support, and nvidia nTune performance software.
For me, I think the extra $11 is worth the features.
I beleive you'll need to either change the price or alter the narrative to be clearer on your board selection.
But if you really can find the Chaintech VNF4/Ultra for $89 please let me know where! Reply

If it really is the Chaintech ULTRA board, please let me know exactly where I can get it for $89 shipped.
BTW, if you do a pricegrabber search on the Chaintech VNF4 Ultra board, the non Ultra board will erroneously be displayed in the results for new egg.

"PCIe Graphics Recommendation: Leadtek GeForce 6200TC 64-bit, 64MB (256 shared) PCIe with 350 MHz core"
I also don't agree with the PCI-E recommendation. I don't think $71 is a good price for a 64MB 64-bit 6200 when the X300 (not SE) is only $76.

HOUSTON - Five sisters were robbed at gunpoint at Stuebner-Airline Park Tuesday.
The women were sitting at picnic tables at the park in the 9300 block of Veterans Memorial near West Mount Houston.
The sisters said the thief approached them while they were talking over coffee.
"I turned around and there was a guy behind me with a gun in his hand," said Sandra Mancera.
The youngest victim was just two years old. Mancera said she knew the man was serious when he turned the gun on her young nephew.
"He put the gun on my nephew, so we had to give him everything," said Mancera.
Between the five sisters, the robber got away with thousands of dollars in cash, their wallets, cell phones and identification before running off into nearby woods.
Mancera said her family comes to the park often, and this was her first time she has been in danger there.
"We was alone in the park," Mancera said. "You don't think about someone coming and robbing you."
The Houston police were called and are investigating. The suspect was described as a tall and thin black male between 20 and 25-years-old.
The women said he didn't have his face covered and that he appeared young and nervous.

Does anyone know to use ultra thin HTML fonts.
I have some web pages which have HTML which are so thin they are barely visible. Does anyone know how to do these.
When I Google "ultra thin html fonts" and use the code it doesn't actually work. Do I need to add anything else to produce ultra thin fonts?
What fonts are you trying to use? Sites like Fontsquirrel have all sorts of fonts you can use, and if you can view them on their site, they'll work on yours.
Cheers dude.
So are these HTML fonts with the code used in the CSS or they produced as images?
I have seen some sites with very thin fonts which are not images and the words can be copied and pasted. This is the effect I am trying to use.
Yes, what Ralph is talking about is embedded webfonts linked to from the CSS, not images.
Yup, there are lots of them, such as here:
There are many font services, free (like the above) or paid, depending in part on the font you want. Many fonts are not allowed to be placed on the web for commercial reasons, so the workaround is to use a service like TypeKit, where the font is hosted by them and linked to your site in some way (so the font loads on your site but is hosted on theirs).
If you can find one that's free, though, Fontsquirrel is a better option. They have a lot of free fonts all set up and packaged for use on the web, which is really great. You just download their package, upload it to your site (say, in the CSS folder) and add the styles they give you to your style sheet to make the fonts available on your site.
Brilliant thanks guys,
I didn't it worked like that. Is the safest option to download the font and upload to my site? If so how would I do this please. Is there set CSS code to do this?
I find that works really well, so it's quite safe indeed. You can only do this when the fonts are freely available. As I said, if they aren't, you can use services like TypeKit or FontDeck, which are good also, and easier to use, as you just add a link to the head of your doc. (They do cost, though.)
As I also menitoned, if you download a ready made package from FontSquirrel, you just load the font files on your site (say, in the CSS folder) and paste the CSS they give you (as part of the download) into your style sheet.
You should use Fontsquirel.com to embed such fonts in your page. A very tiny font that you can use at 8px is BitDust 2

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Some Ohio firefighters are upset that the interest rate they earn on their retirement accounts has been cut in half.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/I3fXQp ) reports the Deferred Retirement Option Plan, or DROP, had paid 5 percent interest since it began in 2003. But starting this month, the Ohio Police and Fire Pension Fund is paying about 2.2 percent interest on those accounts.
The roughly 3,500 program participants can defer retirement for years while pension payments accumulate with interest.
Battalion Chief Kevin Reardon of the Columbus Division of Fire calls the interest-rate change an attack on emergency responders' finances and security.
Pension fund leaders disagree, saying they simply can't pay out more than the amount earned.
The Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio didn't oppose the rate change.

Poor Clare Sisters in Colombia say 'Thank you' for Your Help in Building a Chapel and New Guestrooms for Visitors
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
Project Code: 214-06-19
The order of the Poor Clares was founded in the 13th century by Saint Clare, the spiritual companion and follower of Saint Francis of Assisi. To the dismay of her wealthy family, she chose a life of radical poverty, in imitation of Christ. Today there are religious Sisters around the world who still follow her ideal and renounce all material possessions, not merely on a personal level but also as a community. They lead a strict, hidden life of prayer and penance and devote themselves above all to the adoration of the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Father Werenfried, the founder of ACN, has left us a beautiful metaphor to describe the importance of the contemplative life. Though seemingly useless, in the eyes of many people, the life of prayer and contemplation was, he said, like "pure snow, high up in the mountains, in the sunshine of God's love – snow that melts, disappears and is seemingly useless. But see! Little streams begin to trickle down, growing broader, merging into raging torrents, becoming waterfalls which drive power stations, setting in motion machines, factories and whole industries. They conjure forth sparkling masses of water and stream onwards, transforming barren plains into fertile fields and covering a grey world with trees, plants, corn, flowers, fruits and beauty and bearing to distant lands shiploads of food and everything else necessary for a dignified human existence… This is the essence of every contemplative life, of all stillness in God's presence, all willing listening to the word of God."Since 1573 the order of the Poor Clares has been present in Colombia, South America, where it spread rapidly. Within just a few years 40 convents had been founded there! Many of these convents no longer stand today, but new convents have continued to be established right up to the present day. In 1997 a new convent was established in Magangue in northern Colombia. Initially, the Sisters were housed in makeshift accommodation, but in 2003 work began on the construction of a new convent. Recently the Sisters have turned to ACN for help and, thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, we were able to provide $27,500 to help in the construction of their chapel and a suite of guestrooms. This chapel is used not only by the Sisters, who regularly celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours here, but also serves as a spiritual center for a growing number of ordinary Catholic faithful who come here to join in the Sisters' prayer and to attend Holy Mass. Visitors also come here on retreat and stay as guests in the convent, seeking to deepen their relationship with God. Although the Sisters live a secluded, contemplative life, they also draw many other people to them. Until recently, even the priests who were conducting retreats for the Sisters were obliged to find accommodation with friends or relatives in the town, since the convent had no facilities for accommodating guests. Consequently, the guestrooms are an immense help. The Sisters have written to say 'Thank you' and to promise their prayers for all our benefactors. Sister Ruth writes, "You can count on our prayers and on the blessing of God the Father, of Saint Francis and Saint Clare." Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

The Greatest of All Time
Coincidentally that was also Jeremys first job.
My first job was in a pet store. I didn't eat things from there.
S&M Collector
Well actually I detassled corn the summer before that, but......
Explain this detassling corn job. Was it in a garden? on a farm?
So, I would assume that they now make a machine that does the detasseling, right?
Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle.
My first job was a soda jerk at the local ice cream store. I worked there for about 7 years. I had one ripped arm and one regular one. It's a side effect of the job I guess.
What's a soda jerk? Just wondering so that I can understand why Marcus thinks you're messing with us after he just told us a story about male and female corn sex.

Topic: Chemoembolization
Well, after 9 weeks of chemotherapy we found out there is no change to the tumors. This is not what we wanted to hear. Now the oncologist is recommending chemoembolization. What are the success rates for this procedure? The side effects sound pretty rough. I've tolerated the chemotherapy pretty well, but I'm still concerned.
I'm so angry, and disappointed, again. First a failed resection, now this. When will things go my way?

SALISBURY, N.C. – Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose; for the Saint Leo women's lacrosse team, those words could not ring any more true at the moment as they earned their first ever win in program history, Friday night. Not only did the Lions win their first game, but they did so against a NCAA Division II program, very far away from their home field advantage, as they defeated the Catawba Indians 19-2 in Salisbury, N.C.
Saint Leo advances to an overall record of 1-2 on the season, while fellow first-year program Catawba drops to 0-3.
"It was a great team win tonight," said head coach Lesley Graham. "We were able to put the pieces together and execute our game plan for the entire 60 minutes. Our strategy tonight was to play with heart, and our heart was exactly what won us the game tonight! We couldn't be more proud of the entire team's efforts!"
Four Lions tallied hat tricks on the evening as Callie Porcher, Stephanie Marran, Christina Minneci, and Alix Murray placed three shots between the pipes throughout the Lions' historic game. Joanna Chadwick and Andrea Kuhl scored two goals apiece, while Kasey Tanner, Alyssa Viscomi, and Heather Hedrick notched one goal each.
Marran added two assists onto her three goal total for a game-best five points, while Minneci added one assist to her hat trick for four points.
Brittany Millsap earned the first win of her collegiate career, setting aside six shots while allowing two goals in 44 minutes between the pipes. Nicole Sirota-Plotnikov saw 16 minutes in cage for the Lions, earning one save and not allowing a shot to hit the back of the net.
Their counterparts, Haley Register and Brandi Cockerham, yielded a total of 19 shots while setting aside eight. The Indians were led in points by Ebony Mills, who tallied a goal and an assist on the night, while Ana Cooke added to the goal count, and Kim McConnery earned an assist.
Saint Leo kicked off their historic game in a big way, scoring seven unanswered goals in the first 15 minutes. Murray netted three, including the first goal of the game, with Minneci scoring two, and Marran and Chadwick adding one each. Catawba finally got on the board with 9:29 before the half thanks to a goal from Mills off of an assist from McConnery, setting the score at 7-1 in the Lions favor.
Marran connected on a pass to Porcher for a goal at the 6:39 mark, followed by a gaol from Catawba's Cooke 34 seconds later to put a score of 8-2 on the scoreboard with 6:05 to go before the half. The Lions closed out the first period with two unanswered goals from Porcher and Kuhl to enter into the break with a score of 10-2, leaving them with a comfortable lead entering into the final half.
Saint Leo entered into the second stanza with two quick goals from Marran and Minneci, hitting running clock a little over a minute into the half. The Lions went on to score seven more unanswered goals throughout the remainder of the game, securing their historic first win by a sizable score of 19-2.
Saint Leo dominated the shot count 32-10, and won the ground ball battle 31-16. The Lions won 12-of-22 draw controls thanks to six from Stephanie Marran, and were successful on 50 percent of their free position shots.
The Lions return to action on Sunday, February 26, when they take on No. 3 Limestone in Gaffney, S.C. First draw against the Saints is slated for noon. Fans will be able to catch all of the action live at saintleolions.com.

Is it more accurate to refer to QE∞ instead of QE3? Unlike the previous doses of US QE, this campaign of asset purchases has no official limit, and will carry on until the unemployment rate has improved "substantially" – a word that the Federal Reserve can define, and redefine, as it sees fit over the years ahead.
I have already argued that this should be regarded as stunningly aggressive. In the latest Note video, Gavyn Davies, a fellow FT blogger, agrees. The key point, he suggests, is that over the last year the Fed's reaction function has changed. It is not just that the employment situation has worsened but also that, for whatever reason, it has decided to give the full employment part of its mandate greater emphasis than before. There are plenty of possible reasons for this, which we discuss in the video: Read more

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. - Coast Guard officials say the guardsman reported missing Wednesday was found dead as a result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Johnnie Walton, 37, who joined the Coast Guard in July 2001, was on duty at Coast Guard Station Ponce De Leon Inlet in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, when he disappeared while exercising off base, according to Coast Guard officials.
WKMG-TV reports at a news conference held Thursday evening at the Coast Guard Station in New Smyrna Beach, it was confirmed Walton was found dead as a result of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Officials said Walton was found by other crew members in a secluded area off base. Counselors were brought on base Thursday morning to help Walton's colleagues.
The Coast Guard said Walton used his own gun, which was not a USCG weapon, to take his life. Officials said his access to USCG weapons was revoked Friday.
"We are truly heartbroken by this tragedy. This is an incredibly difficult time for everyone involved, and we extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to Petty Officer Walton's family, friends, shipmates and loved ones," said Cmdr. James B. Rush, response department head for Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville, Florida.
The Department of Children and Families said Thursday evening that Walton was being investigated for possible child abuse allegations. DCF said the investigation was ongoing.
New Smyrna Beach Police Department released a statement Thursday, saying, "Petty Officer Walton has been located and the search is no longer continuing but I cannot disclose any further information right now."
A Coast Guard spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday they are aware of Walton being involved in an investigation with the Edgewater Police Department but did not know what the investigation entailed.
"Whenever we find out a member is being investigated, we contact the local authorities, we contact the Coast Guard Investigative Services so they can work closely together. We support the local authorities," Rush said. "When he reported to us that he was under investigation, we pulled some of his qualification. "He did not have access to any Coast Fuard weapons, or ammunition, or anything like that."
Walton notified the Coast Guard on Friday about the criminal investigation in which he was involved. Officials said certain privileges were pulled from him at that time.
Walton was in the USCG for 13 years and in New Smyrna Beach for four years. Officials said he lived in Edgewater with his wife and three children -- two of whom were his stepchildren.
"He was loved by everybody here at the unit and definitely cherished," Rush said of Walton.
Rush said there was no indication of a suicide note.

Muslim women who are sincerely devoted to Allah organize their lives according to the provisions Allah commands in the Qur'an and they are very meticulous to live by the morality of the Qur'an. Therefore, as is the case with all other people, the religion of Islam grants honor, dignity, respect and a superior morality to the esteemed Muslim women who, throughout their lives, live in the way of Allah.
It is the faith and fear of Allah that improves one's morality and demeanor, makes it impressive and solidifies his character. This is a secret Allah reveals in the Quran and an important piece of information upon which people must ponder and take lessons.
The morality of the Qur'an grants people the strongest, well-founded and beautiful personality. As Allah announces in the Qur'an: "… We have sent them their admonition" (Surah Al-Muminun, 71), living by the morality of the Qur'an gives "admonition" to people. Therefore, a woman who lives by the morality of the Qur'an will possess an honorable and sedate character which deserves respect. No matter to which inculcations they have been exposed by their societies, families or acquaintances, people of faith put them aside and live by the character of a Muslim described in the Qur'an. A Muslim woman develops her character in accordance with the morality of the Qur'an and in compliance with Allah's will. Leaving all sorts of weaknesses, obsessions and ill-manners peculiar to people of the ignorant society, they build a firm character brought by moral perfection.
A Muslim Woman is Submitted to Allah
A Muslim woman sincerely believes in Allah and submits to Allah with a profound faith. She comprehends that there is no god but Allah, that He is the Owner of all beings, that He is beyond everything and that He is All-Mighty. As a result, she fears only Allah and she only lives to earn His good pleasure. She only prays to Allah, sees only Him as a friend and seeks only His help. She leads her life aware that blessing, if any, reaches her if only Allah wills so and any harm befalling her can only be prevented by Him alone. She knows that only Allah can protect her. Therefore she has no expectations of any kind from any human being. Taking the moral perfection of prophets who put their trust in Allah as an example for themselves, they say, "…By no means! My Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me" (Surah Ash-Shu'ara, 62), no matter which hurdle they come across. Because she derives her strength from her faith and her resoluteness in earning Allah's good pleasure, she possesses a robust mental endurance. In the Qur'an Allah relates this morality of believers as: "(Allah)'s guidance is the (only) guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds" (Surah Al-Anam, 71)
A Muslim Woman's Guide is the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah of Our Prophet (saas)
When the concept of morality in the societies where people do not live by the Qur'an is considered, it is seen that most people act in compliance with their habits and their own desires. Their guides are usually the general way of doing things and their own desires. Because their guide is only the Qur'an and the morality of our Prophet (saas), Muslim women act reasonable all the time, make wise decisions and consequently get the best results. Moreover, throughout their lives they do not experience the despairs and troubles that women in ignorant societies experience. They lead the pleasant life Allah promises to all Muslim women and men in the Quran: "Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions." (Surah An-Nahl, 97)
There is one significant feature of the female character in the societies where people do not live by the Qur'an; they limit their horizons, ideals, thoughts and lifestyles to a very narrow span. However a Muslim woman is aware of her responsibilities. Therefore she never pursues her own desires and fulfills a few responsibilities and disregards the provisions of Allah. She never limits her ideals and thoughts in life. She considers the problems of people, children, women and elderly all around the world who suffer from poverty, epidemic illnesses and the difficulties they go through because of war and conflicts as her own problems and thus makes effort to solve them.

Well, fermentation temperature is different. There should be the yogurt maker with the temperature control function. 」
The well-established "タニカ electric appliance" of the yogurt maker met a voice of such user at last! !
I right leave the making of yogurt to one of this! It is the yogurt maker of the の best function.
And such; the selling yogurt makers evolve, and is an appearance Japan's most! !
In the same way as a conventional thing, I cope to normal yogurt, Caspian Sea yogurt, kefir, natto at will and get the timer function well, too.
If there is one of this, other yogurt makers are not necessary♪
[thing to prepare]
Water ...400cc, plain yogurt ...40 g, skim milk ...100 g
|I dissolve water 400cc and skim milk in a container in 1 well and let you mix it. Because you should use the hot water and melt, it is recommended! The art that it makes neatly to dissolve skim milk to be sharp here!
-I cool below ---------------------------------------2, the milk which let you mix it 40 degrees Celsius and mix it with yogurt well. Because a lactic acid bacterium of the yogurt dies when I do not cool it, I am careful about 40 degrees Celsius or less! Mix it well so that yogurt does not become the lump.

I set it at 3, the same yogurt maker, and, please put it for 6-7 hours. In the case of a yogurt tear, I set it at 40 degrees Celsius for 6-7 hours.

The completion of "the super yogurt" which does not include 4, most of the milk fat♪
☆One point
It is the art that it makes neatly to dissolve well when I mix skim milk and yogurt.
|☆It is the impression of the visitor who had you purchase "タニカ" product☆
|● The snail state that had you purchase it…
[, as for this product, the number of ★ (star) is how many?] ★Four
It was in yogurt properly when I watched it after I used the yogurt maker for the first time and set a timer, and time passed and was great♪
|● おもしこさまは which had you purchase it…
[, as for this product, the number of ★ (star) is how many?] Five
I make yogurt and eat deliciously every day. I make skim milk yogurt, but can make it without failure. It is very convenient without worry of the temperature management.
|● Twins mom who had you purchase it…
[, as for this product, the number of ★ (star) is how many.] ]? ★I want to put up ★★★★.
When an established yogurt maker of thermoregulating it was not readily found, and it was irritated, it was this that I searched it, and met.
The thing which was not made was cheap anywhere and treated only one yogurt, but my thing which I wanted was this. Because I could make several yogurt with temperature control in one maker, the ... postage was good at all free. I want to find the kitchen article in standard from now on.
|● Order that had you purchase it…
More than another two years, a product ate Caspian Sea yogurt, but time came to suffer, and greed for yogurt maker Shiina thought that it became in winter. Because various yogurt is made from one, I purchase it at once.
Well, I challenge it with half quantity in LG21 of the Meiji. I felt a sweet thing that it is unreasonableness, but harden. Because it seems to be good to sometimes eat different yogurt, I try commercial yogurt in various ways. Oh, yes! It is convenient that 1,000 ml of milk is usable.
|● Stone who had you purchase it…
Yogurt handmade by machine witty in ヨーグルティア "a 55-year-old old bird ,"
I challenge it fearfully whether you may really make it well! 待 つこと six hours ...
It is written in the refrigerator that I cool it for two hours! マダマダ だ ~. The pleasure performed imprisonment in morning of the next day and ate this morning after all.
I have it! Delicious! ... which I did!
I became glad and intended to do it to a pretty pet, but stopped it for the time being. Even an old bird thanks for thanks to this done machine.
|● The taka state that had you purchase it…
From commercial yogurt, I tried it with Caspian Sea yogurt kefir at once.
It was completed all very well. Temperature setting, a timer function are convenient even if they say anything.
I can make that the inner container which it and conventional タニカヨーグルトメーカー did not have became 1 liter a lot at a time and am convenient.
※ヨーグルティア is a hotplate keeping the temperature that I set in the range of 25 degrees Celsius - 65 degrees Celsius. Yogurt fermenting at low temperature (around 27 degrees Celsius) such as kefir, the yogurt of the angel from Caspian Sea yogurt in the summer when room temperature rises is delicious, and there is only possibility not to be able to make because there is not a cooling function. Approve it.

LORAIN, Ohio (AP) -- A burglar in Ohio picked a choice time for a break-in: While the targeted home's resident was in jail.
The Morning Journal of Lorain reported Sunday (http://bit.ly/UkcBu1 ) that 26-year-old Shawna Lowder had been arrested Friday for possession of drugs, paraphernalia, driving under suspension and failure to signal.
Her brother went to check on her house in the 1500 block of W. 24th St. early Saturday and found a window air conditioning unit pushed in and the apartment doors open.
A friend of Lowder's says he also approached the house and was chased off by a man with a gun.
Police said the thief made off with a $1,200 48-inch flat screen television, a $2,500 58-inch flat screen television, a $1,200 laptop computer and Lowder's PlayStation 3.
They've made no arrests.

DİDEM ÜRER: Prime Minister Erdogan said, "You must be at ease and rest assured during this process by asking for the people to be comfortable. We will not take or let anyone take any step which you do not want or approve of. We will not take place in any process, which you did not sign up for. We will not resort to ways that would hurt our saints and martyrs. I ask you to pray for us a lot. We will not have any negotiations, concessions or stepping backwards. We will not yield and surrender. We will not make concessions to any action that could offend the people's feelings."
ADNAN OKTAR: He spoke very well. Well said! May Allah grant a long life to Mr. Tayyip. May Allah give you beauty and goodness. May Allah remove all troubles from you. May He give peace and abundance and open your way in the way of Allah and Islamic Union. May Allah make you victorious. May He neutralize your enemies and make your friends closer. May He grant faith to your enemies. May He bring goodness, openness and relief to their hearts and make them your helpers. May Almighty Allah make Turkey leader of the region. May Allah give you higher and better duties, insha'Allah.
This statement is very good, masha'Allah; I like it a lot. It is very honest and decent. It is a manner of speech that gives ease to the heart and it means well. Masha'Allah, Alhamdulillah. We love you as the people. It seems obvious from the number of votes. We are with you to the end. We would ruin anyone who lays a finger on you with laws and legislation. We are on your side with thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of young people. Your heart can be at ease. Move on the right path, in the correct way, insha'Allah. May Allah help you. You are living your fate. May Allah not give your enemies any opportunity. May Allah grant you success. May Allah not give quarter to those who let Turkey be divided. May Allah give you power and means to turn Turkey into the great Turkey, a superpower. May Allah give you power and means to establish the Islamic Union. May Allah help you advance on that path.
