World War II was the largest and most destructive war ever waged on earth, engulfing every corner of the globe. Walter Cronkite, who first distinguished himself as a war correspondent on the front lines of this conflict, presents a stunning collection which chronicles WWII in Europe.
Filled with gripping combat footage, this collection takes you from the rise of the Nazi war machine to the celebrations on VE Day and the Nuremberg Trials. From the trenches to the skies, here is the story of the campaigns and the commanders, the horror and the heroism of World War II in Europe.
This three DVD box set has been reproduced from the original 22 hour CBS News production of "World War II with Walter Cronkite" copyrighted in 1982.
--Disc 1...-Cronkite's War Years: From a convoy crossing the Atlantic, to a flight on a B-17 over Fortress Europe and onto the beaches of Normandy, Walter Cronkite offers a riveting account of life and death on the front lines in World War II. Co-hosted by Charles Kuralt.
-The Seeds Of War: Walter Cronkite surveys the people, places and events that set the stage for World War II in Europe. It begins with the chaos that engulfs Germany after World War I and traces the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
-The German High Command: Walter Cronkite creates an unforgettable portrait of the rise and fall of the infamous inner circle of Nazi leaders, the German High Command. Witness the Germans who tried to assassinate Hitler and end his era of madness.
-Invasion: The Allies Attack. Walter Cronkite presents the chronicle of the two amphibious assaults that would change the course of World War II in Europe. The first assault was the Allied invasion of North Africa and the second assault came on D-Day.
-Battleground Italy. Witness the rise of the Fascists and Benito Mussolini and their ignoble downfall as Walter Cronkite leads a wartime tour of Itlay. Follow the Duce's first moves as an aggressor, through the disastrous defeats, the Allied invasions of Sicily and Italy and the brutal fighting.

-Europe: The Allies Close In. Witness the crucial battles and follow along as the Allies race towards the heart of Germany. In Paris, the French resistance goes on the offensive. In the Netherlands, the largest airborne assault in military history throws the Germans on the defensive. Walter Cronkite presents an
indepth examination of the Battle of the Bulge and details
the lucky break that carries the Americans over the bridge
at Remagen.
-The Scandinavian And Soviet Fronts: The pristine, snowy landscape of Scandinavia and Northern Europe was the scene of brutal, sub-zero combat. Walter Cronkite surveys the fighting in Scandinavia and also reviews the Russo-German non-aggression pact and Hilter's surprise attack on his former ally.
-The Eastern Front: From the siege of Leningrad to the Battle of Stalingrad, the Eastern front was the scene of some of the most savage fighting of World War II as witnessed by the Nazi destruction of Warsaw and the almost suicidal convoys to Murmansk.
--Disc 3 -
-Air War Over Europe: Walter Cronkite recounts the awesome campaign that took aim at the Third Reich from the skies. Join the daring low level attack on the refineries of Ploesti. Climb aboard a B-17 for a bombing run over Germany. Fly through flak-filled skies and face German fighter pilots. View the secret aerial weapons, the V-1 and V-2, that Germany used in its indiscriminate campaign of terror.
-Europe: Wars Within A War: This chronicles the campaigns that raged away from the major fronts of the war. Walter Cronkite covers the German led Russian units of "The Army of the Damned" and the barbaric civil war in Greece. Dramatic footage also captures the fall of Czechoslovakia, the relentless Axis assault on the Mediterranean island of Malta and the South Atlantic drama played out by the German pocket battleship Graf Spee.
-Victory: Concluding this epic account of World War II in Europe, Walter Cronkite focuses on the final months of the conflict. After the war, attend the trial of the century at Nuremberg, as the world sits in judgment of the leaders of Nazi Germany, the final chapter of this horrific struggle.

As some of you know, I spent much of the last week traveling to Southern Indiana to visit my family. My mother was recently hospitalized with an illness, and after her release I made plans to see her. Jen was unable to get away from work, so she was home alone with the cats. Without me around to fix our daily quaffs, she was on her own. So one evening, she got creative. She started with the basic Wondrich formula that I've described here, of 2 oz. spirit, 1 oz. fortified wine, 1 tsp. liqueur, and 2 dashes of bitters.
In thinking this through, she decided to play with one of our favorite drinks, the Aviation. This pre-Prohibition classic calls for gin, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, and crème de violette. Jen decided to keep the gin and crème de violette. She provided the lemon notes with Fee's Lemon Bitters and skipped the maraschino. For the fortified wine, she chose Lillet Blanc, which always pairs up nicely with gin.
Her initial attempt was unsuccessful. Why? She misread the recipe and used a tablespoon of crème de violette. Hey, we've all done it. But she tried again and met with success. For her first iteration, she used Right Gin, a relatively new product from Sweden. Right is a little sweeter than a traditional London Dry variety and less juniper-forward, and it includes black pepper among its blend of botanicals. The pepper, though noticeable, is subtle, and the gin is smooth and citrusy. Although I never tried the Aviatrix iteration she made with Right, I'm sure it was a good choice.
Her next version, however, was better, she later told me. For in iteration 2, she used the gin-of-the-moment, Beefeater 24. (Admit it, you knew where this was going.) Right and B24 are similar in that they both downplay juniper in favor of other botanicals, but their flavor profiles are actually pretty far apart. Right is softer and highlights the citrus and pepper, with little else shining through, whereas B24 is more complex and brings its entire botanical range to the fore. Nothing really dominates the flavor of the B24; the flavors are very well balanced, making B24 a more versatile gin, in my opinion.
As for the cocktail… well, think about it. Gin, Lillet, a splash of crème de violette, and lemon bitters. If you're saying to yourself, "Sounds delicate," well, you'd be right. It's a subtle drink, especially with a restrained gin such as the B24. I actually suspect it might be a little better with the original Beefeater, and that's certainly worth trying. Regardless, if you mix it with a modern gin like B24, Right, or Aviation, you'll find a nice, delicate drink in which the flavors complement each other.

The Aviatrix
- 2 oz. gin
- 1 oz. Lillet Blanc
- 1 tsp. crème de violette
- 2 dashes lemon bitters
- Lemon twist, for garnish
Stir over ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Add garnish.
Jen did submit this recipe into the Mixoloseum chat room on Thursday, during the Beefeater-sponsored Thursday Drink Night. It doesn't appear to have made much of a splash, and I'm not sure why. I was, of course, live at TDN this time, at Quarter Bar in Brooklyn, but I was having trouble keeping a constant WiFi connection, so I missed much of the early part of the chat. I didn't get to see much of the discussion of Jen's drink, if there was any. Also, her drink never made its way to me that night for a taste. There was something that might have been her drink, but I couldn't taste any violette in it, so I wasn't sure. So I'm really not sure how anyone reacted to it. I, however, love it, so nyeah.

The Clippers entered Wednesday's game as the top team in the league defending the 3-point shot and that was going to be tested by the Golden State Warriors at Staples Center.
A year ago, the 3-pointer was a dagger many times against the Clippers and probably the main priority for coach Doc Rivers when he arrived.
"It was the No. 1 thing we had to do and I think we've done a pretty good job there," Rivers said. "That was key. You just watched them through the season last year, there are so many big 3s they just kept giving up. That was our main focus.
"It shows more later in the playoffs. When you give up a big 3 it's harder to overcome those shots. I'm really happy in what we've done there."
It's been more than just getting to the 3-point line and sticking a hand in the shooter's face. Rivers first wanted to shore up the interior and play a more complete defense.
"It really isn't a trade-off. I've always said that," Rivers said. "The 3-point defense comes from your interior defense, it's not the other way. If you start guarding the pick-and-rolls better and the dribble penetration, the better you do it, the better you are.
"Where we have failed is our trust in our helps, where someone should be there and they're not at times. That's why we're giving up the paint points, but I've never believed it's a trade-off. I believe you can do both."
Working into it
As Danny Granger hones his shooting after taking nearly two years off because of injury, he seems to be more conscious of how he fits in with the Clippers' defensive approach.
Granger, of course, spent his career in Indiana and the Pacers lead the league in defense this season.
"It's still an adjustment phase," Granger said. "Every defensive principle here is different than we did in Indiana. Offensively, they're pretty different as well, so I'm just retraining my mind and the instincts that I have gathered to do them this way."
Granger admits he and fellow newcomer Glen Davis are still learning on the fly.
"It's hard," Granger said. "At shootaround, we're preparing for a game. So we're going through the defensive coverages and what we're going through offensively. There's not a lot of time to get myself and Glen really acclimated to everything the Clippers have been doing this past year.
"You're still going to have some mishaps in games, plays called that I'm not familiar with. But for the most part I'm picking it up pretty well."
Granger may eventually be summoned to join the starting lineup depending on the health of the likes of Jamal Crawford and J.J. Redick, but he'll do what Rivers asks.
"No preference either way, whether I'm starting or coming off the bench. The goal here is to win a championship, however I can help do that," Granger said. "Adding me so late in the year is one big adjustment process, so whatever I have to do to help the team, that's what I'll do."
Injury update
Crawford (strained calf) missed another game Wednesday and the Clippers will be cautious with him. Crawford tried to give it a go on Saturday but played only 10 minutes.
"Since the first false start he really hasn't done anything," Rivers said. "I don't think we really know when Jamal's coming back. I think we have to be very careful. That's not an easy injury, so when he's 100 percent he'll be back."

The GM is responsible for the leadership of the organization / team. Pretty much the only really good thing McPhee has done was to re-sign Laich, and he's been injured this year. Actually, Ribiero was a good addition as well. But they need more character guys on that team to overcome the Ovechkin-Green sinkhole of character... especially on defense.
Right now if I was GMGM, I'd be looking to trying to trade Mike Green to the highest bidder, and go for a 1 year reboot, seeing as this is a generational draft.

(CNN) -- When it comes to soccer's most hallowed grounds, London's Wembley and Rio's Maracana are two that spring to mind. They are steeped in history, having staged World Cup finals.
Other revered stadiums include Barcelona's Nou Camp, Real Madrid's Bernabeu, Manchester United's Old Trafford and the San Siro, shared by AC Milan and Inter Milan.
But a venue that has never housed a game could trump those arenas, if only for a day: Buckingham Palace.
Yes, Buckingham Palace.
Queen Elizabeth's London residence will host its first and perhaps last official soccer match Monday as part of the English Football Association's 150th anniversary celebrations when amateur clubs Civil Service FC and Polytechnic meet.
None other than Howard Webb, who refereed the 2010 World Cup final, will be the official in charge.
Prince William arranged the game, and on the day 150 grassroots soccer volunteers will also be given medals by the Queen's grandson, who happens to be president of the FA and an Aston Villa supporter.
The Southern Amateur League sides found out last month they'd be lining up at Buckingham Palace and the buzz quickly grew.
"We all agreed that this was much better than playing at Wembley and is something we will be able to tell our grandchildren," Polytechnic manager Geoff Brown told CNN.
Civil Service's standout midfielder Ryan Cameron used to play professionally for East Fife in Scotland and even had the chance to take on his preferred team, Rangers.
But the 38-year-old knows this is a "once in a lifetime" opportunity.
That said, Cameron initially forgot to tell his wife about the game.
"It slipped my mind," Cameron, employed in the IT sector in the English capital, told CNN.
She only learned of Civil Service's involvement by watching the news while working out.
"I think there was an understanding that the game would be played in London," Cameron said. "Most of the lads just automatically assumed it would be at one of the Premier League pitches because there's already a pitch there.
"To find out that it was going to be at the Palace and that they were going to put a pitch in the gardens, it was something that took us by surprise."
Cameron won't be star struck when he meets the Prince, having run into him at a bar when he returned to St. Andrews -- the Prince graduated from the university in 2005 -- to play in an alumni game.
The Queen isn't expected to be in attendance, the Buckingham Palace press office said. Guests from both teams will be there but members of the general public won't be allowed in.
How were the teams chosen?
Civil Service is the sole surviving club from 11 "that met to create the FA in 1863," the FA said on its website, and as such is celebrating its 150th anniversary, too.
In its heyday in the early 1900s, Civil Service would regularly beat the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona on European tours, said team vice-president Neil Ward.
Polytechnic was formed in 1875 and is Civil Service's arch-rival, with the clubs separated by about a mile in west London.
"I believe we first played Civil Service in 1893," Polytechnic chairman Barry Madigan told CNN. "We're very near neighbors."
But just as important, Civil Service was due to face Polytechnic in the round of games taking place this weekend, said Ward.
Officials then asked Civil Service if they could move the game from a Saturday to a Monday to accommodate the Palace.
It didn't take long to say 'Yes.'
"The only thing is that all the lads have to take time off," said Ward, a 60-year-old Everton fan. "At that stage I couldn't tell them why we were moving the game.
"Suddenly the players and officials have a chance to make their own history and join their predecessors."
Wembley groundsman Tony Stones will combine with the Palace's gardeners to get the pitch ready, the FA said.
It won't be the first time a sporting event has been played at the British institution and tourist hotspot -- a charity tennis event featuring John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg was held in 2000.
With a day to go before the game, don't be surprised if several of the players expected to participate take it easy in training to avoid getting hurt and missing what could be classified as their biggest Cup final.
"The potential inevitability might be not wanting to get injured, and there are players on the periphery definitely wanting to try to force their way into the team," said Cameron. "But I think that can only be good for the squad.
"We realize it's a special fixture but we can't get carried away and that's why we have to train hard, take it like any other game. I'm sounding like a Premier League manager but it's absolutely true."
It won't be like any other game, though.

The dawn broke and golden sunlight spilled over the mountains revealing the rolling mists enveloping the landscape below. Watching from my bedroom window I drew a small heart into the wet condensation that clung to the glass pane. The weather was turning away from the hot hazy Summer into the cool crisp Autumn. Soon Halloween and Samhain would be upon us again, I smiled to myself. Leaving my window seat, I padded across the cold wooden floor of the attic and lifted the trapdoor positioned in the middle of the floor. I lowered myself carefully down, descending into the small hallway. The door of Grandma's bedroom was ajar and I could see her waving a cinnamon broom across the door way.
"I think your grandfather visited me last night." She said.
"Perhaps he wanted a goodnight kiss." I yawned.
"I couldn't stand him when he was alive."
"You don't mean that Gran."
"I know what I meant." She puffed furiously wafting the brush over the door. Glancing into her room I noticed that the delicate ornate crystal bowl was filled with ash and cigarette butts. Groaning I snapped, "You've done it again Gran. You mistook Great Grandma's bowl for an ash tray."
Grandma stopped dusting and adjusted her specs, "Damn spectacles must be dusty." She snapped.
"You need new glasses Gran." I said bluntly.
"Fiddle sticks do I! There's nothing wrong my sight."
"You need an eye test."
"Damn it Sky can't you see I'm busy. I don't want that old coot visiting me again. Forty years of marriage was bad enough and I have a whole eternity in his company to look forward to when I die."
"Fine. It's too early in the morning to argue with you."
Too tired to argue I left the old bat to ward off Grandpa's spirit. It wasn't easy living in a family of witches. There was no way I could go to a normal school or have normal friends. The good church-going folk of the near by towns were far too conservative for the likes of us 'freaks'. Grandma and I were renowned for our eccentric dress sense. Our reputation for unusual Gothic apparel caused a sensation when we made those rare trips to town. Grandma would spend hours braiding ribbons and flowers into her long gray hair before we went. She always wore her hair down over her green velvet cloak and people would stop their cars and stare at her as she paraded down the main street. She loved attention. While I on the other hand shied away from it. I didn't invite people to stare at me like she did. Towns were like an alien planet to me. I was far more comfortable in the forest. From an early age the isolation of the forest became a safe haven from the odd looks and cold stares of the local people. I would spend hours wandering the forest sitting in trees talking to nature spirits and watching the passing of the seasons. From this I had learned solitude and because it all I knew loneliness never bothered me. People were not my destiny. I would live alone forever once Grandma died, then I would eventually die and with me so would the ancient magic that flowed through my veins. I was the last of my family.
Stepping out into the morning air I stretched and inhaled the cool fresh air. I think today I would go forging in the forests for wild blackberries then I might cook up some jam later or bake a pie.
"Sky!" Grandma summoned loudly from with in the house.
I hated shouting so I headed back inside the house and replied with a sensible volume, "Yes?" .
"Could you cast a spell for the vegetable harvest this year?" she asked.
"Sure. I'm going blackberry picking first then I shall do it. Leave the spell out on the side or bookmark it whatever." I shrugged.

Skyler is the ultimate loner. Raised by her witch Grandmother deep in the forest, Skyler has lived a friendless life of isolation and magic. Her fortunes change when she accidentally binds herself to a very powerful and handsome demon called Rayne...

In 1726 François Couperin published a collection of four sonatas and suites under the title Les Nations. The compositions were called ordres; each comprised a trio sonata in Italian style and a suite of French dances. They can be considered an expression of Couperin's ideal of the goûts réünis (the union of tastes) which he had already used as the title of a collection of instrumental pieces printed in 1724. Three of the trio sonatas were written many years back, in the 1690s.
At that time Couperin was one of the first advocates of the Italian style, but as many French music-lovers were vehemently opposed to anything Italian in music he didn't dare to present them as compositions from his pen. The three sonatas bore the titles of La Pucelle, La Visionnaire and L'Astrée respectively. These titles were derived from various literary works but it is unlikely that they express any ideas from these works. Otherwise Couperin wouldn't have changed their names in Les Nations. La Pucelle was now called La Françoise, La Visionnaire became L'Espagnole and L'Astrée turned into La Piémontoise. The fourth ordre, L'Impériale, was completely new.
It is interesting to see how various interpreters assess these works and the consequences for the interpretation. Most consider these works as rather modern and forward-looking. In their programme-notes Margaux Blanchard and Sylvain Sartre even see historical and political connotations. "Going far beyond a theoretical principle, he [Couperin] is thinking here of the very evolution of French music, an invitation proffered to the great Italian masters (but also those of Germany, England, Spain), a symbol of open frontiers, of hybridisation, which does not evade the issue of arrangements and other compromises. This is a new way of looking at France, Spain, Germany, and Italy. In a word, the idea of Europe is born".
Reinhard Goebel, on the other hand, considered these sonatas as rather old-fashioned, as he expressed in the liner-notes to the recording by his ensemble Musica antiqua Köln (Archiv, 1983). He asks why Couperin chose to publish "a work in what was by that time a completely outmoded form, especially as he stated in the preface that the sonatas (...) were to be understood merely as introductions to the suites". He then states: "Les Nations may, therefore, be regarded as Couperin's tribute to the style classique of the 17th century: highly refined, stylized chamber music which does not enter the sphere of absolute instrumental music such as had become familiar, in a specifically French form, since 1723 at the latest with the appearance of Jean-Marie Leclair's first volume of sonatas." He mentions discrétion, beauté and délicatesse as features of these works, in opposition to the "excesses of virtuosity" which were characteristic of the Italian music performed at the Concert Spirituel at that time.
This has consequences for the instrumentation. He chooses violins for the trio sonatas because these were associated with the Italian trio sonata. The oboe is excluded because it only played in open-air performances and colla parte with the strings in the opera orchestra. That is indeed true for the 17th century. However, at the time Les Nations was published, the oboe had already made its way into chamber music, and the trio sonata was not exclusively associated with the violin anymore. That justifies the scoring which is followed in this recording by Les Ombres. Moreover, the upper part is referred to as simply dessus, meaning any sort of treble instrument. "The stimulus for this recording of Les Nations was a desire to colour, to vary, notably through the use of a wide palette of instrumentations". Here we hear violins, transverse flutes and oboes in various combinations. Not only the viola da gamba but also the bassoon participates in the basso continuo.
At the same time the style of playing of Les Ombres is pretty close to Goebel's characteristics: discreet, beautiful and delicate. The ensemble plays well and I have certainly enjoyed this recording. Even so I could imagine a more engaging, more daring and contrasty performance, such as the one by Musica ad Rhenum (Brilliant Classics, 2004). They also use generally faster tempi, "based on contemporary metronome indications for French dance and theatre music", as their director, Jed Wentz, claims in his liner-notes. This is a subject which definitely deserves more research. Musica antiqua Köln's tempi are also usually faster than those of Les Ombres.
However, as I already indicated, this recording is enjoyable and makes for pleasant listening. The second disc ends with a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach, played by Benjamin Alard at the organ. The Aria in F (BWV 587) is an arrangement of the légèrement from the sonata in L'Impériale. Unfortunately it is in the same track as the last movement of La Piémontoise. It starts at 2:43 of that track (17).

Members of the Southington Drive-In committee took pride in a successful season and handed out checks to 13 civic groups and organizations during Monday's Town Council meeting.
With one screening left to go (a Halloween-themed double feature on October 27), the drive-in made a total of $44,417 during the 2012 summer season. After movie licensing costs and upkeep needs at the site are addressed, $14,300 remained to be given back to civic groups that operated the theater at each screening.
"We continue to grow and prosper at the drive-in," said Michael Riccio, a former town councilor who chairs the drive-in committee. "It's important to acknowledge that we owe that to the hard work of the civic groups involved."
Town Councilor Dawn Miceli, also on the committee, handed out $1,100 to each of the groups. They include Bread for Life, the UNICO club, the Sorelle d'Italia, the Kiwanis Club, the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, Volunteer Firefighter Company 1 and 2, the Blue Knights Travel League, the Southington Town Wide Effort to Promote Success (STEPS), the American Legion Auxiliary, the Southington Education Foundation, the Mill Foundation and the Southington Junior Women's Club.
Most of the groups had representatives at the meeting to accept the check in person. The day after YMCA Executive Director John Myers accepted one of them on behalf of STEPS, assistant coordinator Evelyn Ciaburri said the theater's accomplishments had been in line with the group's goals.
"The drive-in is a great opportunity for the entire town, not just for the organizations that help out at each screening but for the whole community to get involved," she said. "That's what STEPS tries to do, get the community involved. We're very grateful."
The drive-in has helped Southington make news well beyond the town and even the state. A production company intends to showcase the theater in a pilot episode of a television show about the return of the drive-in tradition. For more on this, see story on page 4.
Committee members estimate about 3,000 cars pulled into the theater's home on Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike over the summer. However, this does not include those who parked elsewhere and walked in.
"It's been amazing to see what goes on there on Saturday nights," said committee member Michael Fasulo.

info123 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 195 designs submitted by 64 freelance designers.
De Masseur (the masseur -it's dutch)
My name is Remon Stolk. I am 29 years old and have a background in psychology. Today, I own a 1-person massage therapy company.
I love contributing to the quality of people's lives by offering them massages. I always take my time for my clients, it's never a rush job. They always get the best. I put a lot of effort in finding the perfect treatment for someone. My practice is at my home, it's pretty intimate (candles, paintings, a lot of space, soft music) - yet classy, modern, hygienic and professional. I would describe myself as open, sensitive, caring - yet solid and professional.
My massages are for everyone. My preferred customers however are customers that visit regularly. I enjoy building a long-term relationship with them. Most of my customers are middle-aged mid/upper class women who are drawn to things like: 'self-realization', 'new-age', 'living in the moment', 'taking care of yourself', 'being all you can be', and the like. Apart from that I also treat people with light physical complaints (muscle-ache, knots, tension).
Dear designer,
I want a logo that shows what I stand for. It's all about finding the right balance between showing the soft and caring side of me, as well as the professional. I don't want to come across as flaky, but it's o.k. to show a little love.
Perhaps ZEN-style would suit (no buddha's, ying-yang's or the like please). Still the style of it appeals to me: SIMPLE, CLEAR, INSPIRED. Ideally looking at the logo would give me a sense of peace and joy. Not too many colors or shapes. Abstract could work well.
If you get inspired and you have a totally different idea based on my story - go for it! I am open to anything.
Good luck to you!
All the best,

The information in this HOWTO pertains to Turbine 2.2. Please refer to the Torque Security Service page for information on extending TurbineUser in Turbine 2.3 and beyond.
This is a HOWTO on extending the TurbineUser and its functionality. The motivating factors for extending TurbineUser are:
The example herein uses a very simple object model with only one table. This table would be defined in your project-schema.xml file. To illustrate solutions to both of our motivators we will:
Important Note: This solution is functionally incomplete in that it does not support the ability to use TurbineUser as a commit point for a transaction. See the very end of this document for further details.
It is also important to note that this HOWTO is intended for use with the database implementation of the SecurityService. I will not address how to extend TurbineUser for use with any other implementation.
The inplementation of TurbineUser and TurbineUserPeer is distributed with Turbine in the org.apache.turbine.om.security package. It is _NOT_ generated by Torque at this time. There are no corresponding Base* classes nor a TurbineUserMapBuilder either.
TurbineUser implements the User interface (from the same package). This interface is used by the Security Service and a few other services as well. This is the reason behind not generating TurbineUser through Torque. It would have no idea how to provide an implementation of the User interface leaving that inplementaion to you.
The MapBuilder for TurbineUser is org.apache.turbine.util.db.map.TurbineMapBuilder. This MapBuilder is also used by Turbine for the other Turbine* classes that are defined in the turbine-schema.xml file distributed with Turbine.
The turbine-schema.xml file is the source of a small problem. The ant task used to generate your OM layer will generate OM objects for all of the tables defined in this file along with the MapBuilders. These classes do not really hurt anything but they can be a source of confusion. There are not used by Turbine for anything!
One valid reason for leaving this file in place is for the ant task that will create your database schema for you. Since the task will not modify the schema for you after it is created (to add/remove columns, indexes, etc), it is of little use after the database is created other than to serve as a reference.
Later in this discussion, you will be given instruction to rename this file to prevent it from being used by the ant tasks as well as removing any objects generated as a result.
Another interesting fact about TurbineUser is the way in which data stored in the database is accessed. Instaed of using using private attributes for storage within the object, all attibutes are stored in a hashtable (known herein as the perm hashtable). Access to the perm hashtable is controlled through the getPerm/setPerm methods.
When the object is returned from the database, data from the columns are added to the perm hashtable for you. When you save the object, the data is removed from the perm hashtable and written to the appropriate database columns.
As you will read later, any data left in the perm hashtable that does not have a mapped database column (more on this later) during the save operation will be serialized and written to the TURBINE_USER.OBJECTDATA column.
Another very nice feature of TurbineUser is the getTemp/setTemp methods. This allows you to store data in TurbineUser for the duration of the session. It will not be written to your persistent storage. It is ONLY for the session. Keep in mind that the login action will replace the user object in the session with a user object from your persistent storage thus removing any data you might have stored in the user.
Here is the sample project-schema.xml file before making modifications to reference TURBINE_USER.
<database defaultIdMethod="native" defaultJavaType="object">
 <column name="BOOK_ID" required="true" primaryKey="true" type="INTEGER"/> <column name="TITLE" required="true" type="VARCHAR"/> <column name="AUTHOR" required="true" type="VARCHAR"/>
 </database>
First we update the schema to include an alias definition of TurbineUser as well as the desired foreign key references. Note how the TurbineUser definition refers to a pair of adapter classes (we will create these shortly) and how it is only necessary to define the columns we are referring to as foreign keys elsewhere in the application database. Note also the addition of REVIEWED_BY_USER_ID as a foreign key in the BOOK table.
<database defaultIdMethod="native" defaultJavaType="object">
 <column name="USER_ID" required="true" primaryKey="true" type="INTEGER"/>

 <column name="BOOK_ID" required="true" primaryKey="true" type="INTEGER"/> <column name="TITLE" required="true" type="VARCHAR"/> <column name="AUTHOR" required="true" type="VARCHAR"/> <column name="REVIEWED_BY_USER_ID" type="INTEGER"/> <foreign-key foreignTable="EXTENDED_USER"> <reference local="REVIEWED_BY_USER_ID" foreign="USER_ID"/> </foreign-key>
 </database>
Notice the attribute on the database tag for defaultJavaType. I used "object" as the value. The default is "primative". You do not have to use "object"!!!
In the last version of Turbine (2.1), the only option was to use the primative types. However, this posed a small problem. It was not possible to have number or boolean types that contained null values. If a null value was found in the database for columns of these types, the value returned from the OM object was 0 or false, respectively. This also implies that you can not have non-required foreign key references back to TURBINE_USER. The primary key of TURBINE_USER is a number.
There are two ways in which additional data in your extended TurbineUser object can be stored. The first, and simplest method, is to store it in the perm hashtable. As described earlier, any data in the perm hashtable not mapped to a database column will get serialized into the TURBINE_USER.OBJECTDATA column. The second, and perferred method, is to use additional database column(s) for storage.
Although storing the additional data in the TURBINE_USER.OBJECTDATA column is the simplest method, it has a few drawbacks.
If you do decide to store some of your additional attributes in the TURBINE_USER.OBJECTDATA column, you need to be careful of possible conflicts with the keys used in the perm hashtable by TurbineUser. When the object is saved to the database, this data is removed from the perm hashtable and written to the correct columns. The keys used in the perm hashtable are the uppercase names of the columns. The column names are not fully qualified with the names of the table like TURBINE_USER.LAST_NAME. Instead the key used is LAST_NAME. See org.apache.turbine.util.db.map.TurbineMapBuilder for a complete list of the keys used for the default columns.
If you choose to use additional database columns, you will not have any of the drawbacks mentioned above. Using the additional columns is the approach that should be taken unless you have a VERY good reason not to do so.
First, we will extend the map builder used by Turbine for the Turbine* classes to add the additional column(s) that we will be using in TURBINE_USER.
package org.mycompany.sampleapp.util.db.map; import org.apache.torque.Torque; import org.apache.torque.map.TableMap; import org.apache.turbine.util.db.map.TurbineMapBuilder; /** * Used to add the mapping of additional columns into any of the * TURBINE_* tables. This can be implemented as an empty class * if you are not adding any additional database columns. */ public class TurbineMapBuilderAdapter extends TurbineMapBuilder { /* * Note: The getUser_*() methods in this class should be static, but * getTableUser() and the initial field level methods are incorrectly * declared in TurbineMapBuilder and hence we must use non-static methods * here. */ /** * Gets the name of the database column that we are adding to * TURBINE_USER. * @return The name of the database column. */ public static String getTitle() { return "TITLE"; } /** * Gets the fully qualified column name (TABLE.COLUMN) that will be * used to store the Title attribute in the extended TurbineUser object. * @return The fully qualified database column name. */ public String getUser_Title() { return getTableUser() + '.' + getTitle(); } /** * Creates the map used by Torque to persist the Turbine* objects * to the TURBINE_* tables. * @throws Exception generic error */ public void doBuild() throws Exception { // the superclass version of the MapBuilder must be called to create // the mappings for the default columns. super.doBuild(); // When you add a column to the database map, the map must know // what type of data will be stored in the column. For that // purpose, we will create a few dummy objects to serve as // data type indicators. Not all of them are used in our example. Integer dummyInteger = new Integer(0); Date dummyDate = new Date(); String dummyString = new String(); // Add extra column. TableMap tMap = Torque.getDatabaseMap().getTable(getTableUser()); tMap.addColumn(getTitle(),dummyInteger); } }
Now we will implement the pair of adapters we referred to in our schema. First we implement TurbineUserAdapter to provide access to the primary key as well any additional attibutes we are adding.
package org.mycompany.sampleapp.om; import org.apache.turbine.om.security.TurbineUser; import org.apache.torque.om.NumberKey; import org.apache.turbine.util.ObjectUtils; /** * This class extends TurbineUser for the purpose of adding get/set methods * for accessing additional attributes. */ public class TurbineUserAdapter extends TurbineUser { /** Used as the key in the perm hashtable. */ public static final String TITLE = "TITLE"; /** * Gets the userId of the user. This is also the primary key * of the TURBINE_USER table. The return type of Integer is * valid only if the javaType for the ExtendedUser table * is "object". If it is "primative", the return type * should be changed to int. * @return the user id */ public Integer getUserId() { return new Integer(((NumberKey)getPrimaryKey()).intValue()); } /** * Sets the title of the user. * @param title the user's title */ public void setTitle(String title) { setPerm(TITLE, title); } /** * Gets the user's title * @return the user's title */ public String getTitle() { String tmp = null; try { tmp = (String) getPerm(TITLE); if ( tmp.length() == 0 ) tmp = null; } catch (Exception e) { } return tmp; } }
Note: This class uses the setPerm and getPerm methods to access the data even though we are going to use the TURBINE_USER.TITLE column for storage. As mentioned earlier, the data is removed from the hashtable when the object is saved to the database and written to the correct database column. Likewise, the when the object is retrieving data from the database, the data from the TURBINE_USER.TITLE column is added to the perm hashtable with the TITLE key.
Next comes TurbineUserPeerAdapter to which we add details of the new database columns.
package org.mycompany.newapp.om; import org.mycompany.sampleapp.util.db.map.TurbineMapBuilderAdapter; import org.apache.torque.om.ObjectKey; import org.apache.torque.util.Criteria; import org.apache.turbine.om.security.peer.TurbineUserPeer; /** * This class extends TurbineUserPeer for the purpose of mapping additional * database columns. You can implement this as an empty class if you are not * using any additional database columns. */ public class TurbineUserPeerAdapter extends TurbineUserPeer { /** the default database name for this class */ public static final String DATABASE_NAME = "default"; /** Used to build the map for the extended Turbine User */ private static final TurbineMapBuilderAdapter mapBuilder = (TurbineMapBuilderAdapter)getMapBuilder("org.mycompany.sampleapp.util.db.map.TurbineMapBuilderAdapter"); /** The fully qualified name of the database table */ public static final String TITLE = mapBuilder.getUser_Title(); /** * Builds a criteria object to select by a primary key value. Of course, * it could also be used for an update or delete. * @param pk Primary key to select/update/delete * @return A Criteria object built to select by primary key */ public static Criteria buildCriteria(ObjectKey pk) { Criteria crit = new Criteria(); crit.add(TurbineUserPeer.USER_ID, pk.getValue()); return crit; } }
Before generating the OM layer, see if you have a turbine-schema.xml file in your WEB-INF/conf directory. If you do, rename this file to turbine-schema.xml.nogenerate. Also, the only Turbine* classes that you should have in your om package are the two adapters that you created earlier. Any other Turbine* or BaseTurbine* class in your om package should be removed. You should also remove any om.map.Turbine* classes that might have been generated.
Warning: Do not run the init ant task after doing this. That task will drop and recreate your database. Without the turbine-schema.xml file present, the TURBINE_* tables will not be recreated!
These classes were generated from the turbine-schema.xml file. The project-om ant task will process any file in your WEB-INF/conf directory ending in -schema.xml and generate the appropriate classes from that definition. Renaming the turbine-schema.xml file stops these extra classes from being generated.
Next, you will need to manually create any additional database columns that you will be using in TURBINE_USER. Make sure that the name of the columns match what you speificied in TurbineUserPeerAdapter.
We can now use project-om ant task to generate our OM layer using the adapter classes we defined above.
With any luck everything will compile okay and we are only a small step away from being able to use the new OM layer.
The last step is to tell Turbine about the new classes we are using for Users and MapBuilder. To do this we need to update the following entries in TurbineResources.properties:
database.maps.builder=org.mycompany.sampleapp.util.db.map.TurbineMapBuilderAdapter services.SecurityService.user.class=org.mycompany.sampleapp.om.ExtendedUser services.SecurityService.userPeer.class=org.mycompany.sampleapp.om.ExtendedUserPeer
That is basically it. We can now modify our application to utilise the new columns via the methods defined in the OM objects we have modified. Note that in order to access the new methods in ExtendedUser we need to cast from TurbineUser thus:
ExtendedUser user = (ExtendedUser) data.getUser();
For those of you that are attempting to extend TurbineUser to make use of TURBINE_USER.USER_ID as a foreign key in your application tables here is one small problem.
Torque generates some pretty useful code that enables you to add related objects to a common parent object and then save them all to the database in one transaction. You can do something like this:
OrderDetail od1 = new OrderDetail(500, "item1"); OrderDetail od2 = new OrderDetail(100, "item2"); Order o = new Order(clientId); o.addOrderDetail(od1); o.addOrderDetail(od2); o.save();
This is very helpful - you don't need to worry about the ids that connect the child rows to the parent rows and you don't need to worry about the transaction necessary to insert these into the database as one atomic operation. It also provides:
which can be used when you have other data you want to commit in a transaction you are managing yourself.
Now here is the problem. After extending TurbineUser in the manner described above, the methods are generated to add records related the extended user class, but the data itself is ignored when ExtendedUser.save() is invoked. Here is an example:
Book book = new Book(); data.getParameters().setProperties(book); ExtendedUser user = (ExtendedUser) data.getUser(); user.addBook(book); user.save(); // !!!! book is not saved !!!!
Of course replacing the last two lines with:
book.setReviewedByUserId(user.getUserId()); book.save();
will in fact save the Book, this is beside the point - the other method addBook() shouldn't exist if it doesn't work and this is a trivial example.
In addition to this, there is no equivalent save(dbConn) method provided to allow this update to be combined with others within a single database transaction.
There are a few solutions to this problem. One would be to fix the torque template responsible for generating the code. Another would be to implement the methods yourself. Before exploring either of these options, you need to ask yourself if this problem will even affect you. If not, don't worry about it.
Implementing the methods yourself might be the simpliest route for someone new to Turbine and Torque. This simply involves overriding the addBook() method in the example above with the two lines shown previously. Of course, You would have to do this for each and every one that Torque generates for you.
The same idea applies to the save(dbConn) method. Simply override that method in your ExtendedTurbineUser class (or whatever you called your class) to perform the operation correctly. You can get sample code from one of the other classes that Torque generated for you.
If you want Torque to generate to code for you, you will have to modify the Object.vm template that Torque uses.
The other solution involves altering a torque template so that the code that generates the aspects of the save() method that handle related tables is allowed to execute for the TurbineUserAlias class. You need to apply the following patch (most likely to the version of Object.vm copied to the WEB-INF/build/bin/torque/templates/om directory for your application):
Index: jakarta-turbine-2/conf/torque/templates/om/Object.vm =================================================================== RCS file: /home/cvspublic/jakarta-turbine-2/conf/torque/templates/om/Object.vm,v retrieving revision 1.3 diff -u -r1.3 Object.vm --- jakarta-turbine-2/conf/torque/templates/om/Object.vm 24 Oct 2001 18:1 2:21 -0000 1.3 +++ jakarta-turbine-2/conf/torque/templates/om/Object.vm 16 Jan 2002 14:0 0:43 -0000 @@ -787,7 +787,7 @@ #end ## ends the if(addGetByNameMethod) -#if (!$table.isAlias() && $addSaveMethod) +#if ((!$table.isAlias() || $table.Alias == "TurbineUser") && $addSaveMethod) /** * Stores the object in the database.

You will need to manually remove the line wrapping from the above patch. This patch is only included here to give you an idea of what would need to be changed in Torque. The patch can not be applied to the current version of Torque simply because it is so outdated.
Notice how although you can go user.save(dbCon); the TurbineUser record will not be part of the transaction.
I would suggest that you override the methods that do not get generated correctly in your ExtendedTurbineUser class. Do so ONLY if this problem will affect you.
The real solution to this problem is in modifing Turbine in such a way to allow Torque to generate the TurbineUser object. This would eliminate the need to extend TurbineUser altogether. There would still be the need to add additional columns and/or create FK references to the TURBINE_USER table. It would would only involve modifing the schema files and letting Torque do all of the work instead of creating the adapter classes and modifing the map builder.
Note: The last solution mentioned should be ready for Turbine 2.3. This should make life easier for everyone!!!

Owen: Rooney absence 'kick in the teeth'
Michael Owen believes Wayne Rooney's omission from Manchester United's Champions League starting line-up on Tuesday night was a "real kick in the teeth" but remains hopeful his former team-mate can rescue his Old Trafford career.
Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to leave Rooney out of his starting line-up to face Real Madrid could have major consequences for the striker's United career. In the past, when Ferguson has left big name players out of high-profile matches, it has proved to be the signal they are surplus to requirements and were to be shipped out at the earliest available opportunity.
"For Rooney not to start is a real kick in the teeth and it's got to be a big worry for him," Owen told TalkSPORT. "It's the biggest game of the season and the manager has shuffled his pack and not included him."
He went on: "Wayne will take it one of two ways.
"He will either get his head down, try to improve and force his way back into the team, or he'll think, 'The manager has not picked me for the biggest game, he obviously doesn't fancy me', and it might not be the end of the story."
Rooney's wife Coleen took to Twitter prior to kick-off on Tuesday night to express her surprise at the 27-year-old's omission. However, that Tweet has now been taken down and Rooney has not offered any reaction to Wednesday night's disappointment, positive or negative.
Ferguson has said repeatedly this season that the striker needs to play matches to keep fit, and takes time to recover when he has a spell out of the side, the reason given for Rooney's omission on Wednesday night.
The United boss has also stressed the professionalism Robin van Persie has brought to Old Trafford this season since his arrival from Arsenal.
It would be easy therefore to draw a negative conclusion about Rooney, although Owen insists he never saw any reason for concern during his three years at United.
"When I was at Manchester United their relationship was very good, they talked, shared jokes and there were no problems whatsoever," said Owen. "I would be surprised if it was something of that nature [a falling-out], but the decision to leave him out isn't going to help if it is that."

Lenders hailed the figures as evidence that the "shutters are coming up" for mortgage borrowers.
There were 932,000 completed transactions last year, marking a 5pc increase on 2011, according to HMRC.
Meanwhile, the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) outlined evidence of why it believes the mortgage market is improving.
In its latest "news and views" release, the CML said: "Overall, there has been a marked sense of improvement in the mortgage lending landscape over the past year, which we forecast will continue in 2013."
It said that at around 220,000 last year, the number of first-time buyers reached its highest level since the credit crunch started.
It also estimates that the share of first-time buyers getting on the property ladder without needing any extra help from parents has increased in the last couple of years.
The CML said: "We estimate that there has been a slow and steady increase in the proportion of first-time buyers buying without assistance from 32pc of all first-time buyers in 2009 to 36pc in 2012."
The CML said yesterday that it expects mortgage lending to reach £156 billion this year, compared with an estimated £143 billion during 2012.
The HMRC figures showed that the number of sales in 2012 was still almost half the levels seen five years earlier.
However, sales picked up in the final quarter of last year to 237,000 transactions, showing a 4pc increase on the previous quarter and a 2pc increase on the same period in 2011.
The CML said: "It may be easy to overlook the recovery that has already quietly been under way in the mortgage market throughout 2012.
"Indeed, we suspect that consumer sentiment may not yet have caught up with the extent to which the mortgage market has already improved; and some commentators still take as their benchmark the over-heated market of the mid-2000s."
In a sign of the sales numbers to come, mortgage approvals to home buyers have been increasing in recent months, which analysts have put down to the introduction of a multi-billion Government scheme in August to kick-start lending.
The number of mortgages on the market has been on the rise and lenders have been slashing their rates since the Funding for Lending scheme was launched.
The CML also highlighted deals recently launched by lenders to give buyers a helping hand, such as Barclays' "family springboard" mortgage, which allows buyers to get on the property ladder with a 5pc deposit if their parents put 10pc of the home's value into a separate savings account.

Functional Graded Materials architectures applied at nanoscale: thin PVD nanograded and layered coatings
Published on
Functionally graded materials (FGM's) are designed to achieve levels of performance superior to that of homogeneous materials by combining the desirable properties of each constituent phase. FGM's are composite materials where the composition or the microstructure is locally varied so that a certain variation of the local material properties is achieved.
The technology of Functionally Graded Materials was an original material fabrication technology proposed in Japan in 1984 by Sendai Group. The interest in graded materials focused primarily on the control of thermal stresses in elements exposed to high temperatures (to 1600 ºC), for instance in gas turbine blades, aerospace structures, solid-oxide fuel cells, energy conversion systems using thermoelectric or thermionic materials (thermal barrier coatings-TBC). Subsequent applications include fusion and fast-breeder reactors as a first-wall composite material, piezoelectric and thermoelectric devices, high density magnetic recording media, in optical applications as graded refractive index materials in audio-video discs, in bioengineering as dental and orthopaedic implants, in structures as fire retardant doors and penetration resistant materials for armour plates and bullet-proof vests.
FGM concepts were also applied to thin coatings and nanomaterials fields. With the development of thin films technology in various areas of materials science, the potential use of novel surfaces and more reliable coating materials by employing nanocomposite and layered-graded thin films in mechanical, tribological, optics, energy, bio-implants applications among others can be considered.
Nanostructured materials and graded and layered thin films offer the potential for significant improvements in nano-engineering and opto-electronic properties based on improvements in physical, chemical and nanomechanical properties resulting from reducing microstructural features by decreasing the grain size of a material to the nanometer range compared to current technological materials.
In this presentation it will be presented an overview of the FGM approaches to produce novel nanostructured materials, in particular, for solar energy applications. Topics to be discussed include introduction to FGM thick coatings concepts, from functional composite and graded coatings to nanograded thin films used in solar energy, produced by clean PVD technologies (Physical Vapour Deposition) and other deposition techniques.

The Oakland Raiders' wholesale changes continue. General manager Reggie McKenzie is making a clean break from all the excesses of the previous regime.
The Raiders announced Wednesday that they have released defensive lineman Tommy Kelly. This was a widely expected move, even by Kelly himself. Late team owner Al Davis signed Kelly to a seven-year, $50.1 million contract in 2008, and the defensive lineman was set to make $6.5 million in 2013.
Kelly's contract is a perfect example of how the Raiders used to do business. He was a very nice undrafted find by the team, and he had potential to be great. But they paid him like a superstar when he was closer to a solid regular, and Kelly never was consistently great. Kelly had his best season in 2011 under coach Hue Jackson and friends, but he wasn't nearly as productive in 2012. He spent nine seasons with the team and hasn't missed a game since 2007.
The Raiders' contract shedding figures to continue with the release of linebacker Rolando McClain at some point this offseason. The larger question is whether the Raiders also will cut quarterback Carson Palmer. At least one guy at the Texas Pro Day on Wednesday probably hopes so.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

[Page 29 continued]
This A.M. at Fort Wrangell, Alaska, got my first raven, & Townsend's finch, also Stetler's jay. Saw lutescent W., shot one, but couldn't find it. Ridgway got a fine Oregon Junco, Fisher a red throated woodpecker, parus rufescens, & Lincoln's finch. Heard in the forest, by Farragut bay, a hermit-like thrush song, but couldn't find the author. The ravens made more noise even than usual. Hummers seen & heard by others of the party.
Townsend's Sparrow in song. Its note is a typical passerella song. very clear and sweet, noticeable for the same deliberation with which the fox sparrow makes its notes. The bird was found on the sunny slope cleared of its bigger growth, facing the bay. [Page 30] Its appearance is somewhat thrush-like due to its heavily spotted breast and uniform brown back, though its attitudes are perfectly typical of its family.
Golden Crowned sparrows were singing at summit-White Pass. They were found in the scrub hemlock in the snow, and occasionally uttered their clear notes. The song was at once recognizable as zonotrichiaŐs, consisting of 8 notes, each perfectly distinct and true [illus.], and remarkable for the sweetness and purity of their tone: just the kind of a note one would like to find in the frosty air of the mt. tops. The attitudes and flight of the birds were exactly similar to those of the White Crowned, unless perhaps the occipital part of the crest was thrown out farther. Perhaps this appearance was due to the much darker coloration of the whole top of the head.
Mr. Ridgway got two Leucostictes (litoralis) on the R.R. track at the summit, and pipits were seen & taken. Between Juneau and Glacier bay, we saw Marbled Guil.

You have to show both the front and side bite as they not only check for the correct bite but the right amount of teeth
Males get their testicles checked too to make sure both are there.
There is both handler stacking and free stacking . Some judges may also tell you they don't want the dogs set up but free stacked as you enter . It depends on the individual judge so be prepared for both.

That would be free stacking you can give a command but can't touch the dog on a free stack.
Also wanted to add "Some" judges allow baiting and others don't.
Most only ask to see front and one side though they may ask for both depending on the judge.

My info may be pretty faulty, I did know this stuff years ago, and I was showing in a building when they did the AA, so I remember the barking.
If you look on UKC's list of judges, you'll see that only a few are allowed to judge the BSD, they need a special training process (also true for the apbt, eskie, and toy fox terrier), beyond their basic judging license.

NVIDIA GeForce 9400/9300 Chipset Review: IGP for Intel
Introducing the GeForce 9400/9300 Chipset
The introduction of the most recent NVIDIA chipset with integrated graphics for the Intel platform has been expected for quite some time. Code named the MCP7A, news of the chipset goes back to the middle of 2007 when we actually thought we would see it before the end of that year. Obviously some delays happened, either on the technical or legal side of things, and the product was delayed long enough for us to be writing about it officially for the first time in October of 2008. In fact, it is that delay that actually gave AMD's 780G chipset the IGP edge; but that isn't exactly relevant while we are talking about Intel-based platforms today.
Obviously the biggest news about the MCP7A product came with the official announcement yesterday of Apple adopting the chipset in their entire line up of new MacBook and MacBook Pro offerings - something I have been predicting since July.
But just as important to us is the release of the desktop variant of this chipset, now officially known as the GeForce 9400 and 9300 Motherboard GPUs (I really can't stand that term) that we are reviewing today. We actually had three different mATX motherboards from MSI, Zotac and ASUS show up for our testing, all which will get some attention today.
At its core, the NVIDIA GeForce 9400/9300 is a standard core logic chipset with the addition of an integrated graphics core for a convenient all-in-one design popular with low-cost PCs and notebooks. Everything in the GF9400 chipset is new though - from the memory controller to the IGP solution and with it comes some great new features as well as some not so exciting restraints.
The core logic features of the GeForce 9400/9300 chipset are impressive and encompass pretty anything a modern Core 2-based chipset is required to have. The memory controller (probably one of the last chipset-based memory controllers to be built) can support either DDR2-800 or DDR3-1333 memory configurations though all of our sample motherboards chose DDR2 for cost considerations.
Processor support includes all the current dual-core and quad-core CPUs that use the 1333 MHz or slower front-side bus - 1600 MHz FSB is just not going anywhere and NVIDIA won't be losing any business by not supporting it. The chipset does have 20 full lanes of PCI Express 2.0 support and will likely be divided up between a single x16 PCIe 2.0 connection and a either a single x4 or a couple x2 connections for expansion purposes. Up to 5 legacy PCI slots are supported as well.
Connectivity on the chipset is superb as well: 6 SATA 3.0 Gb/s channels, 12 USB 2.0 ports, Gigabit Ethernet and HD Azalia audio support.
Where the chipset gets even more exciting is when we look at the integrated graphics core included on the die.
The entire GeForce 9400/9300 die
I do have some beef with the claim that the chipset supports 2560x1600 resolutions with dual-link DVI output - while that may be the case none of the three motherboards I tested for this article implemented it and instead ran single-link resolutions only up to 1920x1200. Chances are that is going to be good enough for most users but I find it hard to believe the cost for including the additional hardware (whatever it is) to move to dual-link capability is very high.
The PureVideo HD technology is what allows the GeForce 9400/9300 chipset to offload the CPU for decoding H.264 content including Blu-ray movies.
And, lest I forgot and someone at NVIDIA chastises me for it, I can't NOT mention that the new GeForce 9400/9300 chipsets support other key NVIDIA features like PhysX technology and CUDA. While PhysX technology is interesting to discuss, CUDA is really the technology that could make a difference for your computing needs in the future. In recent weeks NVIDIA has been showing off a partnership with Adobe that accelerates software like Photoshop, Premiere and more and even though CUDA isn't explicitly used, the GPGPU idea is the same. Even Apple and their support for OpenCL coming in the new Snow Leopard software next year will be putting GPU-centric computing into an important light.
Now, let's take a look at the actual retail motherboards we received for this product and how they compare to each other and to the feature lists above.

Free speech, guaranteed to us by the First Amendment, has lit the world and inspired the democracy we all cherish today. Efforts to limit speech based on the identity of the speaker in order to gain a political advantage must be pushed back on all fronts. Defending the right to speak freely without fear of reprisal is a fight that never ends.
Today, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) stood tall in defense of this essential element of liberty as he addressed the American Enterprise Institute. In discussing the DISCLOSE Act, Leader McConnell correctly noted that the bill is fundamentally an end-run on the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. The DISCLOSE Act would require certain groups to disclose donor lists – opening the door to intimidation by those who disagree with them. He went on to say, "…if disclosure is forced upon some but not all, it's not an act of good government, it's a political weapon."
At the NAM, we are committed to protecting the First Amendment rights of manufacturers. The First Amendment is for all, not favored groups, and our nation finds itself strongest when our right to voice our opinions is unimpeded. Manufacturers have a right to weigh in on the policies that will determine future economic growth and global competitiveness, and we applaud Leader McConnell for fighting this encroachment on our liberties.

ANAHEIM — History was made as soon as Ronda Rousey and Liz Carmouche walked into the octagon on Saturday night.
And just that quickly, Carmouche was history, as she succumbed to Rousey's signature armbar with just 11 seconds to go in the opening round of the main event of UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche at the Honda Center in Anaheim. On top of being the first-ever women's fight, it was also the first-ever women's title defense, as Rousey held on to the UFC women's bantamweight title.
PHOTOS: Ronda Rousey reigns at UFC 157
"Is this real life right now, I'm not sure," said Rousey in the octagon after becoming the first women in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship to claim victory.
In the initial women's fight in the near-two-decade history of the UFC, Carmouche (8-3) gave Rousey (7-0) her stiffest test, but the story was just the same for the Glendale Fighting Club-trained Rousey. She finished her seventh fight with an armbar, just like the other six.
With seconds ticking away in the round, Rousey was working with all her might to pull back on Carmouche's arm and break her grip, but Carmouche fought just as hard until her defense was broken and she was forced to tap out at the 4:49 mark of the fight.
"I was just trying to do it perfectly on the first try," said Rousey, who was cornered by the Glendale Fighting Club's Edmond Tarverdyan, along with Manny Gamburyan, Gene LeBell and Leo Frincu.
The historic event reached a fever pitch as the two entered the octagon and the fight didn't disappoint, finishing off a highlight-filled card.
Rousey engaged with a jab to start, but Carmouche showed no fear and, after Rousey worked for a clinch, Carmouche backed away and, as Rousey pressured, Carmouche let punches fly and Rousey ate some leather. Rousey later landed a stiff uppercut in the clinch and notched a takedown as she was seemingly working for a judo throw, but sat down on it.
Carmouche, a 12-1 underdog, looked for the shocking upset when she was able to take Rousey's back. Rousey stood as cameras flashed and the crowd roared. Carmouche looked to be working for a rear-naked choke, but had a face crank and was wrenching Rousey's neck. Then she went for the choke, but Rousey kept working and shaking away before she was finally able to get Carmouche off.
"It was a great fight," Carmouche said, "I thought I had it."
Rousey hovered over her, landing a few punches from the top before Rousey went for top position.
She would work from the top in what was basically a side headlock, raining down left hands on Carmouche's head. Carmouche worked feverishly to free herself, eventually kicking up her legs over Rousey's head, but it was actually the beginning of the end.
Rousey used Carmouche's escape attempt as an opportunity to transition into an armbar attempt.
Carmouche defended well for a while, but inevitably lost the battle just as all of Rousey's previous opponents had. Carmouche tapped and Rousey leaned back on the canvas raising her arms in victory.
One of the aspects of the fight questioned leading up to it was whether it was worthy of headlining a pay-per-view card, particularly with former Strikeforce and PRIDE champion Dan Henderson and former UFC champion Lyoto Machida fighting in the co-main event. However, when Rousey was first shown on the big screen in the pay-per-view's opening montage, it was clear that her star was shining in Anaheim as she got the loudest ovation.
It culminated a main event that had more media build than any other UFC fight previously, but that didn't distract Rousey.
"It was different," said Rousey of all the media attention, "but there's no amount of press that can save these girls from me."
