Does anyone know the laws regarding redlight cameras and right turns? I got my first ticket in the mail today. I watched the video. I was in a right turning lane at the Kroger's at Young High Pike. It was late and it appears I slowed down and checked but did not completely stop before turning towards Kroger's. I don't care anything about where the money goes or the company, so no comments on that. I just know I will probably be laid off again by the time this is due and 50 or 118$ are bills that could be paid.
I am assuming the law says you have to come to a complete stop in turning lanes but I can't find a link. I can sort of concede to the safety aspects of the lighst as far as just intersections, but where it gets tricky I think are right turns. I think there has been some letters or maybe articles in the paper on that subject in the last year.
I was in a right turning
I was in a right turning lane at the Kroger's at Young High Pike.
that's where i got my ticket. you have to come to a complete stop before making a right turn. i'd imagine this intersection is a very lucrative trap for the city. and i've made this point many times: $50 is a regressive tax that adversely affects poorer people. complain to bob becker. he voted for the cameras.
stop on red light
a complete stop is requred....in california it is called a california roll...
From the TN Driver Handbook
From the TN Driver Handbook and Study Guide (Pg. 16):
RED: Stop behind crosswalk or stop line.
Unless otherwise posted, you may turn right on
red after coming to a complete stop and when no
pedestrians or cross traffic are present.

I got a ticket for not
I got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a light long before there were redlight cameras. This law has been on the books for a long time.
Yeah, a complete stop is
Yeah, a complete stop is required before turning right. See Tenn Code 55-8-110(a)(3)(A): "A right turn on a red signal shall be permitted at all intersections within the state; provided, that the prospective turning car shall come to a full and complete stop..."
A KPD officer reviews the video and a ticket is issued if there's no stop.
Since you asked us to omit comments on the @$*# red light camera system itself, I won't...
Right on red works fine
I've done right on red from Summit Hill onto Broadway many times. Always stop and never had a camera ticket.
I don't like the idea of some company getting most of the money out of these things, and yeah, any traffic fine is regressive. There ought to be a way to make it hurt regardless of income, but that gets complicated and invasive. Points are a partial solution.
But I can't see complaining about getting a ticket for doing something that's fundamentally unsafe (particularly to pedestrians and cyclists). If you do it there, you probably do it other places and just don't get caught. Stop behind the crosswalk, look and then go.
If you approach a STOP light
If you approach a STOP light or STOP Sign, it's a good bet to STOP before proceeding.
In the absence of links, common sense is a great tool to fall back on.
Another handy tip: If everybody follows the rules of the road the the camera companies will go out of business.
Liberty-- it's a heavy responsibility.
2 in 2 months
The new cameras installed this past spring seem to do a better job "policing" this habit than their predecessors. I've gotten two in two months after never getting one previously and I'm certain my driving habits are just as badly rushed as they've always been.
Does anyone know if a red arrow has special meaning to right turns as opposed to a plain red signal? There seems to be some popular discussion on this.
I believe that a red arrow
I believe that a red arrow means do not turn right, period. That is definitely true at the top of cumberland turning onto Henley Street. A red light means stop and then you can turn right.
Written test
Seems like a mandatory written test at license renewal wouldn't be a bad idea. Helping a teenager with algebra homework has reminded me how easy it is to forget (but think you know) things you haven't cracked a book on in decades. A review every four years doesn't seem like too often to make sure you know the rules of the road.
Cops should have to take it every six months.
I thought about that when I
I thought about that when I looked up that manual the other day. I hadn't seen one of those since I got my license in the spring of 1962.
I downloaded it and have started my review.
Visit us at:
I understand you have to
I understand you have to come to a complete stop before turning on red. Most everyone knows that if they have a license. For me, the anger comes from the fact that getting a ticket for turning right on red after not coming to a COMPLETE stop is like getting a ticket for jaywalking or loitering...it's ridiculous. There are people who get away with rape and mugging people on the street, but the common person is getting ticketed for not coming to a 100% complete stop before making a right turn at a red light. Yes, I understand the safety concerns, especially when pedestrians or bicyclers are trying to cross, but you should ALWAYS be paying attention to those kinds of hazards, even if you have a green light. The economy is terrible right now, everyone knows that, so why aggravate the whole situation by adding yet another fee to our already severely financially stressed lives? These cameras have also paved the way for the awesome speed cameras being set up in parts of our country, and they will come here before it's all over with. I think it's crazy. Not only are you on camera when you walk into a store or a bank or a hotel, but you are also going to be on camera when you're sitting in traffic or driving down the road, meaning you are being monitered at least once as you go about your daily routine. How invasive are all these cameras going to get, and shouldn't the police be the ones patrolling the streets to stop speeders and people who run red lights? Personally, I would be pissed if an officer pulled me over for doing a rolling stop at a red light, but since all they have to do now is sit on their ass and watch the video, it really pisses me off.
I'm only human, you know like they said about Michael Jackson, and I didn't stop. The video shows it. Stand now if you've never made a mistake driving or otherwise.I don't know if the tax is regressive, rich folks run lights too. You can argue either way about the light cameras. There is a WBIR camera that constantly films on Market Square, or at least its always aimed there, kinda creepy, but if someone was robbed I guess they'd appreciate it, same as with the giant KPD cameras downtown.
I don't know if the tax is
I don't know if the tax is regressive, rich folks run lights too.
A regressive tax is one that has a greater impact on people with lower incomes. $50 to someone earning $20,000/year might be a significant burden, while it is hardly noticeable to someone earning $200,000/year. It would be interesting to know how much the city is collecting at the Chapman/Moody intersection from drivers who don't come to a complete stop. And whether the number of violations gets less every month.
And as I type this, an ad came up (courtesy Google) for a company that supposedly will help you fight traffic tickets ...
red light screw
Got a ticket for the California roll. Sucked, but the video had me dead to rights. Still don't like the cameras and don't think that they are for safety. They produce hundreds of thousands of $$ a month in revenue. They are not at dangerous intersections but at congested areas that tend to hold for onger periods of time. People who violate here are just trying to not get caught in another red light cycle. For the driver it is not a safety thing but a time thing.
Define Complete Stop
I had the opportunity to teach Driving Instruction to students of all ages who had a hearing impairment. Quite and interesting task I must say...Coming to a complete stop is defined as a stop for at least 2 seconds. So...next time...one Mississippi, two Mississippi. Now that you've gotten caught, doesn't it make you think about being more careful next time you approach a yellow light? That is the point; changing people's bad habits to prevent accidents. By the way, yellow means "caution, the light is about to turn red. Prepare to stop." acoording to the Tennessee Drivers Handbook. It does not mean "punch it, before the darn thing turns red."
Now, if only the rapists and other habitual criminals could understand that incarceration and other forms of punishment were meant to change their behavior.
I paid one and I'm still
I paid one and I'm still happy with the cameras. The one on Chapman Hwy near John Sevier has not had a death since the cameras were installed. The year before the cameras there were several accidents which resulted in two or three deaths.
As for turning right on a red. The police have no idea of the spirit of law. Your required to come to a full stop short of the crosswalk and check for pedestrians. If you blast through the crosswalk and stop well past the crosswalk. The police will not issue a ticket.
I certainly make sure I come to a complete stop now. That particular night ironically I was frazzled from being lost on Martin Mill in total darkness and was so glad to be back in the city, hookers and cameras and all, then I got the darn ticket.
Question about the ticket?
Recently, I didnt make a complete stop behind the white line and then paused a sec and then continue turning right. I noticed a camera in front of me when I was turning. I live in California and I was wondering if i might get caught or not. How long till they mail you a ticket?
My "violation" was on 8/28 and I just received my citation.
I came to a complete and full stop behind the white line (3 secs...on the video). but then had to pull up till only the back half of the car was behind the while line in order to see more clearly. Lane was clear, so I turned right. So if you don't wait another 2-3 seconds it apparently still counts at a roll-through. *shrug* Guess my old lady/ annoyingly cautious title will have to be replaced by "speed demon/racer". ;)
I think that's what happened to me turning right from western. You have to go past the white line to see who's coming.
I've learned to alter my traffic patterns - detour down 11th st for example, turn right on Hill or Church. Best to just avoid camera intersections unless you are driving straight through. I don't trust myself to consistantly overcome 40 years of right rolling.

Mom gave me three $50 savings bonds from '86, '87, and '90.
They're worth $61.96, $71.18, and $72.60 = $205.74. That's not much for 17, 19, and 20 years, huh? Now the question is: do I cash them? What would you do? I am thinking I should just cash them. I know I SHOULD let them sit around for another 20 years, but by then they will only be worth around $90 each I guess. That doesn't seem worth keeping them in good condition and un-lost to me. |

Many key Nationals will be making playoff debuts
Updated: October 4, 2012, 4:50 PM ET
Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- On the night the Washington Nationals clinched the NL East title, third baseman Ryan Zimmerman donned the one essential accessory for any jubilant baseball player these days: ski goggles.
His gray commemorative T-shirt soaked by champagne and beer, Zimmerman was asked whether he brought the eye-protecting equipment to the ballpark himself, knowing it would come in handy during all of the alcohol-spraying.
No, came the reply: Right fielder Jayson Werth provided the goggles ...

Longchamp hosted its grand opening party on Saturday night at its newest London Flagship Store on 229 Regent Street. The three-floored accessory haven boasts a center white and metal rimmed spiral case providing to be a sculptural element in itself. The beautiful clean and crisp decor allows each and every Longchamp piece to be the center of attention, especially the iconic Le Pliage Tote which covers the second floor wall as its own installation. Guests at the event included Georgia May Jagger, Chelsea Leyland, Coco Rocha, Alexa Chung and Zoe Saldana. Saldana arrived arm in arm with her mother insisting that she has been one of the greatest inspirations of her life. In addition, Saldana noted why she is a fan of Longchamp, "It's elegant and it's a family-owned brand therefore you can trust that it is going to be consistent. I love what they do with their leathers."

"That's where you mostly get geography, outside"
No worries |
When I'm looking for reading inspiration, I often turn to BuzzFeed listicles. A new one I recently discovered is 51 Books That Prove Reading Can Change Your Life. It's a list compiled of books that have helped members of the BuzzFeed Community through hard times, and somehow Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent (1998) had a magnetic pull on me. The description promised 'a dose of escapism and a true laugh', which is exactly my sort of thing.

Horrible Bosses 2
Kidnaping and stuff |
Last night I watched Horrible Bosses 2 (2014), the sequel to 2011's Horrible Bosses in which Nick (Couples Retreat actor Jason Bateman), Kurt (Mr. Olivia Wilde/SNL alumn Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor Charlie Day) tried to murder their abusive bosses. The trailer looked funny, the weather outside was frightful, my gurl needed a study break, I had two cinema tickets laying around (Thanks, step bro Anthony!) ... You get the jist: the world wanted me to see this movie.

Expiration Date: Mar 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight: 0.34 lbs (0.15 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I've noticed a positive difference in the comfort of my eyes when taking this product in conjunction with bilberry consecutively for a week. Down here in New Mexico, my eyes tend to get very dry (I normally live in Alaska) but this product has helped.
I bought this at the suggestion of a friend because a couple of my older dogs were starting to get a lot of crust in their eyes. I add a few small drops to their food each night and it has really cleared up the eye goo.

Reds fight back for Hammers victory
Related Articles
Published: 10 December 2012
Uruguay international Suarez was serving a one-match ban but the Reds struck twice late in the game to seal a win that sees them leapfrog West Ham in the table.
Former Hammers' defender Glen Johnson opened the scoring with a tremendous effort before a Mark Noble penalty and a Steven Gerrard own goal turned the game in West Ham's favour. It was another West Ham academy graduate in substitute Joe Cole who pulled the visitors level with a James Collins own goal completing the comeback for Liverpool.
West Ham's Matt Jarvis was getting a lot of the ball down the left flank but was soon found wanting when he was tested defensively. Gerrard played the ball out to Johnson on the touchline and the England full-back cut inside Jarvis with ease before arrowing a strike past the out-stretched hand of Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Nine minutes before the interval, a West Ham set-piece was cleared as far as Guy Demel whose shot hit the arm of Joe Allen as the former Swansea man closed him down. Referee Lee Probert deemed the block to be intentional and pointed to the spot, with Noble stepping up to coolly convert the penalty.
The spell of pressure yielded a second goal for Sam Allardyce's side, albeit it in fortunate circumstances.
Liverpool switched off after conceding a free-kick which Noble took quickly and found Jarvis in space on the left. The 26-year-old produced yet another fantastic delivery into the box and the ball was sent flying past Jose Reina off the head of Gerrard.
A serious looking leg injury suffered by Mohamed Diame made Allardyce's afternoon even worse after 73 minutes, with the in-form midfielder replaced by James Tomkins after pulling up hurt.
Joe Cole had little impact on the game until he struck a venomous equaliser after being played in by Raheem Sterling and, like Johnson, he refused to celebrate the goal out of respect for his former team.
The turnaround was completed just 12 minutes from time as Jordan Henderson swung in a low cross that Jonjo Shelvey and Collins competed for with the balling looping up off the boot of the West Ham defender and over a helpless Jaaskelainen.

4G soon in Lebanon
According to this article in Annahar today, telecom minister Nicolas Sehnaoui announced that live 4G tests will start on Novemeber 16 at Beirut Digital District, and the service will be commercially launched on April 23rd 2013 in selected areas.
It's definitely about time we get 4G, but I admit I wasn't expecting we will be getting the service anytime soon given how slow such projects go in Lebanon! I also hope its commercial launch is not going to witness the same mess that happened when we first got 3G.
Anyway, you can read about Sehnaoui's announcement here and watch him tonight talking about it in Talk of The Town on MTV.
365 Jours pour rester positif au Liban
I was informed about this new agenda called "365 Jours pour rester positif au Liban" (365 Days to remain positive in Lebanon) when the dear people at Tamyras contacted me a while ago to inform me that +961 blog has been mentioned in it, but I never knew what this agenda was really all about until I read Hay Khabriyeh's post about it last night.
Can you stay positive for 365 days in Lebanon? Tamyras publishers took on the challenge to offer you exactly what you need to do it – an agenda filled with daily upbeat notes. "365 jours pour rester positif au Liban" includes all the constructive social initiatives happening in Lebanon, from cupcake box charity to save Lebanon heritage to Nasawyia, and also fun initiatives like Tchenchol, Pure nostalgia and Lebanese memes.
The idea of the agenda came to Tamyras publishing director, Tania Hadjithomas Mehanna, to counteract all the negativity that was building up around her, be it on social networks, in the news or in her personal circle of acquaintances: she decided to uncover the positive side of Lebanon. There are countless people, groups, NGO's who haven't given up, who still wear rose-colored glasses and still dream of a better Lebanon, doing their part to make it happen. So Tamyras staff did an intensive research, gathered the names of positive initiatives, from the humorous to the serious ones, came up with a funky design, and the new agenda was born! Source
Unfortunately I haven't got the opportunity to get hold of a copy for myself and have no idea yet which day features +961, but I would appreciate it if anyone can send me a shot showing it! turned out I'm featured on March 18th in the agenda. Thanks to Patricia!
Anyway, The idea sounds fun, and I agree with Sietske that it makes a nice gift idea this Christmas! It will be available for sale at major Lebanese bookstores in addition to the "Salon du Livre Francophone" at BIEL which lasts till November 4th 2012.
The Nadim Koteich song
The whole episode was funny by the way, it's worth watching if you have some time on hands.
Will Julian Khazzouh play in the Lebanese basketball league?
There are some things in this country that are meant to never be understood. Things like whether sports players who have earlier played in the Israeli leagues are allowed to play in Lebanon or not.
The basketball player you see in the photo above is Julian Khazzouh, a Lebanese who was born in Australia where he played for the Sydney Kings in addition to some other Europan teams and Israel's Ironi Ramat Gan. He also recently joined the Sagesse squad and is supposed to start playing for them starting the upcoming season.
Now you all know it was made clear last year that foreign players who previously received a work permit in Israel are not allowed to play for the Lebanese sports club.
However, Julian Khazzouh used his Australian passport to play for the Israel team, but started using the Lebanese ID he already has when he came here, and practically the law doesn't apply to him anymore since it just mentions foreign players!
Moreover, it's very clear for the Lebanese that traveling to Israel or dealing with Israelis is against the law, yet the Lebanese Basketball Federation is still to this moment going in discussions to decide whether Khazzouh will be given a permit to play or not! How on earth is this a hard case to solve?!
What's even more shameful than Sagesse signing this guy is reading people like Elie Mechantaf defending him!
"We solved the issue with the Lebanese judiciary, as he [Khazzouh] played in Israel with his Australian passport," Sagesse's former captain and current president Elie Mchantaf said.
"[Khazzouh] has now regained Lebanese nationality and the law does not prevent him from playing here.
"We are working lawfully regarding this issue, and I assure everyone that he will be present in Sagesse's first game of the season," he added. Source
Al Jadeed TV fires an employee while on maternity leave
Make sure to check out this video from Now Lebanon featuring an ex-employee called Shirine who used to work with the Chi.N.N team in Al Jadeed TV and went on a maternity leave after having a baby, only to be surprised with a phone call during her leave claiming that the Al Jadeed no longer needs her since the person who replaced her is doing the job well and for less money.
I was quite surprised with the story Shirine was telling since Al Jadeed TV is well known for their news reports focusing on malpractices such as the one they did, in addition to the fact that Chi.N.N is known for harshly criticizing the Lebanese society and political scene, and the least you would expect is for them to commit such mistake.
Still, I believe that the reporter Maha Hoteit, whom I deeply respect and have known during school days, should have also covered the other side of the story by interviewing the people in charge at Al Jadeed TV.
Is the economic situation really that bad in Lebanon?
Looks like news about businesses closing or facing troubles are on the rise now. People were surprised to read about the closure of Buddha Bar in Downtown Beirut last week due to the economic and security situation in the country, and today, I just came across this article in Al-Akhbar about Khoury Home facing some difficulties even though it controls a major share of the household products market in Lebanon.
Apparently, due to the decrease in sales and increase in payable to large suppliers, the Khoury family has entered in negotiations with one of their partners to sell their share in Khoury Home. You can read more about it here.
Insane fireworks
Check out how bad fireworks can be in some areas in Lebanon on holidays. The video below was taken in Bchamoun on the first day of Eid El-Adha.
Unfortunately, the ministry of interior issues a reminder every few years that fireworks are strictly banned but never puts an effort to actually apply that ban!
Al-Qaeda in Lebanon
Would you mind it if all those rumors claiming that Al-Qaeda does exist in Lebanon turned out to be true?
The photo was taken during the funeral of the late general Wissam Al-Hassan.

Carven's new fragrance is fresh and simple
House's history as a perfumer brought the label to wide international fame
It seemed there were no more moribund French labels for the luxury industry to revive.
And then in 2009, the House of Carven, a former haute-couture atelier by petite dynamo Madame Carmen de Tommaso, who celebrated her 104th birthday last month, was relaunched with designer Guillaume Henry at the helm. The original label was known for everyday clothes — for movie stars and French diva Edith Piaf — made with a couturier's precision. Thus a reputation for "democratic" fashion ensued, somewhat incongruously. hous
The new Carven collections (both the men's and women's lines are available at Holt Renfew in Canada) have been rapturously received. The pink and blue pastel coats for women are particularly influential this season, with their oversized, simple lines.
But it is the house's history as a perfumer that brought the label to wider international fame: Vétiver, from 1957, is a cult favourite, renowned for its light touch. The new fragrance from the house, titled simply Carven, features the elegant typography lifted from the sign that marked the original landmark corner studio in Paris. It also features packaging in the label's signature green (Carven is also famous for stripes, after a dress called Ma Griffe). And it comes in a gorgeous, cylindrical and squat old-fashioned frosted glass bottle.
The juice is fresh and simple, created by Francis Kurkdjian with Neroli, mandarin blossom and white hyacinth in the lead notes along with a hint of jasmine and sweet pea. The scent really does match the clothes that come down the runway, keeping the sweet at bay and leaving a light, fresh feeling.
The Eau de Parfum is $120 for 100 mL (bath gel and milk are also available). At Holt Renfrew.

Write a ReviewFragile and Very Hot
By Douglas B. from North Potomac, MD on May 15, 2012
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I bought the table lamp as part of a set for our kitchen make-over (including a single pendant and 7 light island pendant). Many of the globes were broken in shipping because they are very fragile. They very quickly replaced with very little trouble. Due to their design, the lamps become very hot which burns out the bulbs quickly (every 2 months or so). They look great, but not sure they're worth dealing with.

Obama Wants You to Pay for Abortion!
Uploaded by Catholic Online on Aug 20, 2008
"It's time to turn the page on policies that provide almost 1.5 billion dollars to teach abstinence in our schools but refuses to teach basic science and basic contraception (code word for abortion)." Obama speaking to PP on the issue of Federal funding for abortion "...we've got ten billion dollars a month to fight a war in Iraq that should have never been authorized and should have never been waged. We can find the money to make sure our daughters have the same rights as our sons." Obama speaking to PP on tax-payer funded abortion

Haas waiting until 2016
Gene Haas has confirmed his team will not be on the Formula 1 grid until 2016.Motorsport's world governing body, the FIA, earlier this year granted Haas Formula a licence to compete in F1 from potentially next season.
But Haas, co-owner of successful NASCAR marque Stewart-Haas Racing, always knew it would be an improbable race against time to line up for the opening grand prix of 2015.
Given the logistical and infrastructure headaches, Haas has decided it would be in his and the team's best interests to delay matters until 2016.
"The plan is absolutely to launch in 2016 and we are fully committed to that. I don't think there is any doubt about that whatsoever," said Haas, speaking...

Implementing high performance in enterprise storage is a constant battle to find and eliminate the next system bottleneck. Normally this alternates between limits of the underlying media and the computational overhead of metadata management, but choosing the wrong approach to deduplication can introduce a third performance challenge that can be impossible to overcome. Storage that implements a multi-pass approach to data optimization, such as staged or post-process deduplication, becomes inherently at a disadvantage for both computational and media overhead.
Common Performance Bottlenecks
In a typical enterprise storage system the bottleneck to performance is in one of two places: media bandwidth or computational overhead.
For the storage system designer, media overhead is the simplest to address - add more or faster media. In a hard disk-based storage system, this means adding faster drives, more drives, and larger drive sets. In a flash storage system bandwidth is increased by using SLC flash, adding more independent modules, allocating more over-provisioned space, and improving the flash translation layer.
Reducing computational overhead is a greater challenge. Once you have enough media bandwidth the problem becomes shuffling data to and from the storage initiators. Identifying the bottlenecks to performance here can be devilishly complex, as the designer must be concerned about matters such as system memory bandwidth, number of data copies and, especially in today's multi-core world, synchronization between multiple requests. There's no silver bullet here, so the only solution is having a very talented team of software engineers designing and optimizing the storage platform.
Adding deduplication introduces complexity directly into this most challenging area for performance improvement. Any deduplication implementation must interact directly with the storage metadata that is so critical to performance, since I/O requests are being redirected or eliminated based on the system's knowledge of duplicate data. Unless the deduplication technology has been designed and implemented in an inline, multi-core scalable, and low memory overhead way, system architects often try to separate deduplication into a separate layer and a second pass through the data. This is a mistake that harms storage performance in a way that cannot be repaired.
The Impossible Challenge of Multi-Pass Deduplication
This second pass through the data commonly occurs in two possible places: on the final storage media or when transferring data from a staging area to the final storage media.
The first case is always called post-process deduplication. Data are written to their resting media location and a separate process later reads them back, as time and bandwidth allow, determining if any portions are duplicates. If there are duplicates then storage metadata is updated to note this and space is freed for reuse. I've written extensively in the past about the risks of post-process deduplication; since it always requires additional media bandwidth and computational overhead it severely harms performance, and since there are no guarantees about when deduplication will occur it does not meet the requirements for high-change-rate use cases such as VDI.
Post-process Deduplication
The second case, where data is deduplicated as it is being moved from a staging location to a final media location, is often erroneously called inline - as it is inline with that destaging process - but is really just a modified form of post-process deduplication. As with conventional post-process deduplication, another round of data read and processing must occur. Additionally, now both the staging media and final media must provide the full system level of performance or either can become the bottleneck.
For example, some flash storage systems stage all data to a small arena of SLC flash prior to deduplication. This design doubles the number of possible performance bottlenecks in the architecture: performance writing to the staging area, front-end data ingestion, final media storage performance, and the deduplication and de-staging process itself. This sort of multi-pass deduplication process retains all of the negative performance aspects of a traditional post-process implementation.
Staged Post-process Deduplication
High Performance Requires Inline Deduplication
Any form of multi-pass deduplication introduces new bottlenecks that prevent an enterprise storage system from delivering the highest levels of performance. Post-process deduplication, whether on the final media or during a destaging process, creates additional overhead in both media access and data processing. For flash storage platforms requiring the highest levels of performance, only tightly integrated inline deduplication can meet all system requirements.

The mayor, who was on a personal bond that did not require him to pay any money to the court, will now have to pay $7,500 in cash — 10 percent of his $75,000 bond — to stay free, Judge Ronald Giles, a 36th district court judge, ordered.
Mayor Kilpatrick has been out on bail after being arrested for perjury and other felonies related to a police whistle-blower trial last year. This time he's is in trouble for assaulting a Wayne County detective who was attempting to serve a summons to his friend Bobby Ferguson, a city contractor. The esteemed mayor threw him off a porch, possibly breaking his hip, and also indulged in shouting "obscenities and racial remarks."
But it's not all bad news for Kwame:
Kilpatrick will be allowed to keep already approved business travel, including attending the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Kilpatrick — and moonbat-infested Detroit in general — represent a road we would be wise not to go down.

Australia plans to create world's largest network of marine parks
For most travellers, an Australian holiday will include fantastic beaches, tropical waters and the prospect of interacting with some prolific - and spectacular - sea life.
And so it is perhaps good news for tourists heading Down Under that Australia has revealed plans to create the world's largest network of marine parks.
The country's marine reserves will increase from 27 to 60 under a proposed scheme, set to cover more than three million square kilometres, or one third of the island nation's waters.

Astonishingly, this represents an area as large as India.
New reserves will be established from the Perth Canyon in the south west to Kangaroo Island off the southern coast.
But the 'jewel in the crown' will be the protection of the Coral Sea area which surrounds the Great Barrier Reef in the north east, Environment Minister Tony Burke said yesterday.
'The Coral Sea marine national park...combined with the Great Barrier Reef area, becomes the largest marine protected area in the world,' he said.
The protection plan will ban oil and gas exploration in all marine national parks, including across the Coral Sea and off Margaret River, a popular tourist and wine-growing area in the south west.
Threat: Sea creatures such as the green turtle will be better protected under the plan, it is claimed
The move will also increase the protection of sea creatures including blue whale, green turtle, grey nurse sharks, and dugongs, it is claimed.
Mr Burke acknowledged that the plan would have an impact on the fishing industry, while some environmental groups expressed criticism that the scheme does not go far enough.
'This is devastating and those that will suffer most will be coastal communities,' Dean Logan, chief executive of the Australian Marine Alliance, which represents commercial and recreational fishers, told Australian television.
Mr Burke said the government would talk to the fishing industry about compensation during a 60-day consultation period.

A lawmaker from the minority Greens party said the government had been bowing to oil and gas interests in drawing up the boundaries for non-exploration areas.
'The boundaries the minister has determined have been very strongly determined on oil and gas prospectivity, and clearly determined by lobbying from the oil and gas sector,' Rachel Siewert, the Greens' marine spokeswoman said.
And while the Australian Conservation Foundation welcomed the initiative, it said some areas were still under threat.
'Although the reserve network bans oil and gas exploration in the Coral Sea, the north-west region has been left vulnerable to these threats,' commented chief executive Don Henry.
Matthew Collis, a campaigner for the International Fund for Animal Welfare, added: 'Offshore petroleum exploration hasn't been addressed properly by this process.
'This is bad news for whales and dolphins because many of the areas where industry operates or wants to operate are also important habitats for whales and dolphins.'
Earlier this month, a United Nations report said Australia's world-famous Great Barrier Reef was under threat from industrial development and may be considered for listing as a world heritage site 'in danger' within the next year.
Last week, Australia delayed environmental approval for a A$10 billion (£6.4 billion) coal project proposed by India's GVK Power & Infrastructure in the state of Queensland that would increase shipping traffic through the reef.
The new reserves are expected to be announced officially before the end of the year.
