Where did you get that definition of "relativistic"? And why is 1% any more of an "actual percentage" than 0.00000000001%?
1% of light speed doesn't begin to move the needle on the special theory of relativity. Which is the one that, you know, takes velocity into account - you need to be at HIGH percentages of light before velocity starts to matter, relativistically. When people talk relativistic speed, they are talking close to light speed - speeds where relativity comes into play.
"Why is you did not avoid me?" Not exactly a translation I would trust.
At any rate, it's either telepathy or ki sense that is indistinguishable from telepathy, and given that Goku's ki sense is already known to have extended to outright mindreading and listening in on telepathic conversations between planes that he isn't supposed to be privvy to, there's essentially no line between the two at this point.
I swim through a sea of stars
without looking back to shore.
Faster than light, bending time
Because that's what it means. Once you get into even the lowest percentages of light, time starts to dilate to a degree, according to Einstein's theory. So, essentially, anything around 6,000 mach + falls under that.
People say "high relativity" or "significant fraction of light" when they're talking about "approaching light."
Even if it was telepathy what does it do in regards to this scenario? It doesn't translate to telepathic defenses. If they for some reason try to get into a mental battle with anyone they'd be screwed. I don't know why they'd bother though, they can blow up Professor X just fine before he does anything. Otherwise any DBZ'er would be left a drooling mess.
On the other hand if there are other Marvel heroes who could protect the Prof long enough for him to lay down a mental whammy that isn't good..
They'd blitz Thor easily well before this stage in their development. As for Klaw, he's made of sound so maybe they can't outright destroy him, but what can he do to them?
Depends on how powerful Marvel Zeus is I guess. Also was this "she hurts him to the point where she could defeat him" or "she surprises Zeus and manages to hurt him a tiny bit, but would get beaten down by him nonetheless" ?Edit: Oh, wait. Scratch all of that. Monica Rambeau. The Zeus-hurting girl. Can they live with her at all?

A woman can move a lot faster with her skirt up than a man can with his pants down.
I see, well then Klaw is basically a non-issue. Though I guess one can wonder what strength of a "fairly high level" means here? If it takes like..Thor level strength they're in trouble.
I know she's supposed to be lightspeed, but what are her best speed feats again?
A woman can move a lot faster with her skirt up than a man can with his pants down.
From what I'm seeing in searching for this on the Internet, she released practically all her power (to the point where she has to fake having any more) and dropped him to a knee, then he gets up and blasts everyone away. it looks like a low showing for Zeus in general, but I can't find the whole book.
Yes, I know the voices aren't real. But they do have some VERY good ideas....
A woman can move a lot faster with her skirt up than a man can with his pants down.
Well, don't get me wrong, Zeus is hugely powerful since he's literally par with Odin just by his stated nature (which you can pull from Hercules' more cosmic adventures in his book), but from what I can see of the pages, he's not presented at that level in that issue (ie, Odin's higher feats). I don't mind taking it as fact, but it seems to be a bit of "Zeus is presented as lower-end than he actually is, in the grand scheme of things" combined with "she hasn't had any effect on anyone nearly that level before, but then again, she never released ALL of her power like that." Right before that, she released a tiny blast and hit Zeus in the arm and he said "ow" which is FAR greater than blasts of those level have shown effect from her.
Even if you grant her that as a feat - she takes out one guy, leaving 15 more to take care of everyone else, since it drains all of her power to make him go down on one knee for a second.
How good is Magneto's shields? If there was any time to set it up, Magneto might be able to give Professor X the time he needs. Also, could the Absorbing Man get able to handle one of Goku's blast?
It also depends on the scenario. If it is an arena battle (and everyone is fighting each other at once), DBZ should blitz the Marvel heroes. If the Marvel Heroes get to travel around a bit and explore, it then becomes a stomp in the other direction. Doom and Mr. Fantastic get prep Time to examine Namek Technology.
It might have been more fun, if the DBZ guys went to Battle World instead. Goku fighting the influence of the Venom symbiotic would have been interesting.

"LiveU's LU60 technology provides us with an efficient and nimble way to get our reporters out into the field, bringing the news home to our viewers in the quickest manner possible," said Del Parks, vice president of engineering and operations at Sinclair.
Sinclair's decision to purchase the portable and compact LiveU systems began after Bob Shrader, chief news photographer with WZTV, tried out the gear in a round of field tests over several months in and around Nashville, Tenn.
"This system is rock solid and allows us to deliver reliable live transmissions from the field during our morning, midday and evening news shows," Shrader said.
Mike Savello, LiveU's vice president of sales, said Sinclair's main concern was reliability and resiliency, meaning the system had to work well and work consistently when they needed to be live for a breaking story.
LiveU's flagship LU60 product is a bonded 3G/4G LTE backpack with proprietary RF technology for transmitting up to 1080 HD video with very low latency. Bonded cellular technology, which came on the news scene in a major way over a year ago, has been challenging the cost-effectiveness of satellite trucks.
While satellite trucks offer more reliable service, they are far more expensive and don't allow flexible over-the-should transmission of HD video. Cellular service, on the other hand, depends on available cellular bandwidth to be available when broadcasters use the equipment.
LiveU's backpack/handheld solutions include multiple 4G LTE/3G, HSPA+, WiMAX and Wi-Fi cellular links, which are optimized for maximum video quality based on the available network conditions.
With customers in more than 60 countries across five continents, LiveU's solutions have been used at high-profile events, including the 2012 US Presidential Campaign, 2011 British Royal Wedding, Academy Awards, GRAMMY Awards, Super Bowl, NBA All Star Weekend, Brazilian Carnival, World Cup in South Africa and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Instead of using tomato sauce, this made-from-scratch pizza uses crushed tomatoes for a chunkier "sauce." If you prefer, replace the canned tomatoes with chopped fresh tomatoes.
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly coat a 10-inch round pizza pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, salt, sugar and yeast. Add the oil and warm water and mix well.
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured work surface. With floured hands, knead the dough for 1 minute. If dough is too sticky, add flour 1 teaspoon at a time. Gather into a loose ball. Cover dough with plastic wrap and let rest 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, stir together the tomatoes, basil, black pepper and garlic powder.
Roll out dough and press into the prepared baking pan. Spread the tomato mixture over the dough. Top with cheese. Bake until the dough is browned and the cheese is bubbly, about 10 to 20 minutes. Cut the pizza into 8 slices and serve immediately.

HT5429: iOS: Using Maps
Learn about iOS: Using MapsHT5429 apple maps is trash, where is google maps???????????
I don't believe you and I have all the right to do so.
Unsupported methods don't work because they onle work for A4 devices AND must have the SHSH blobs saved BEFORE the upgrade. Mine is the most expensive 4S with 64 GB. It is an A5 device and I never thought I would need a downgrade with Apple so didn't save any SHSH blobs.
We will force Apple because of the "noise" we make on the web. Try to google the subject of "downgrading iOS 6 to iOS 5" and it will bring you to these pages of all people complaining. That is a very bad PR to continue for any business.
Japan based users are a huge mass of joiners as we started to see them posting here now. Sure not many of them are proficient in English to write here but most of them don't drive cars and don't care about the turn by turn ultimate Apple experience promise. Most importantly, they have money and would be the first to dump existing iPhones for its rivals and of course not buying iPhone 5. a Hit like that in a core market like Japan will wake up the monkeys in Apple to react and find a remedy which is iOS 5 that doesn't cost them a peny to deploy (I mean allowing it again for the upgraded devices...just for your IQ).

A user posted Tim Cook's email but his post was removed. it isn't difficult at all..his name's initial followed directly by his surname at his company. I wrote a letter and sent to him. I hope many customers will send similar letters. Here is mine..
Dear Tim Cook,
I am a customer who has been loyal to Apple for the past 5 years during which I have bought tens of Apple devices for myself, friends, and relatives. We live in a country where we don't get Apple releases on their launch day but I have ways to get them from US or UK in the interim.
We were promised the world if we upgrade our devices to iOS 6 and specially to get the most beautiful and powerful mapping service ever. I upgraded and since I live in Dubai Apple Maps didn't give me anything more than a pocket size digitized map that is far inferior than the local paper map. Apple map in Dubai hasn't even limited functionality that Apple Maps has in the US. I tried to use many alternatives but none of them brought back the functionality I used to have before this upgrade.
I tried to find solutions and went to the official Apple Support Community forums on the web to find individuals carrying levels and points who were trying to silence every criticism, complaint, or negative experience in the most unprofessional style addressing expressions to Apple customers in the form of "you are moaning", "stop whining", "go to other suppliers", "who forced you to upgrade", "we don't want you here..go away" "you were sent by Google to troll",..etc. The impression left on everyone who came to those threads for help or discussion that these individuals are an organized gang of badly trained watchdogs whose only task is to make fun and be sarcastic of genuine Apple customers who dare to mention that as we are Apple customers who pay our money to Apple, we deserve a better treatment and we want the functionality we have paid for. They keep directing us to a feedback page on Apple site for iPhone that doesn't even enlist the iOS versions while it does mention all those for Windows and Mac OS!!
Millions of existing Apple customers including me own devices (other than iPhone 5) have upgraded to iOS 6 but we didn't like it as our devices became less functional. All that we want is to have the choice to get back iOS 5 until the time when iOS 6 gives what it promised. iTunes doesn't allow us to make this "downgrade" for reasons that none of us is able to understand. Why our devices have become captives to iOS 6? iOS 5 is still supported and millions of those customers who were more prudent than us and didn't upgrade to iOS 6 are still happy with their devices running iOS 5. Why can't we?
Finally, I would like to ask you if you still think that a company which makes "downgrading" an impossible wish for its most loyal customers could continue to be worth working for, investing in, or buying from?

I have just been to the Feedback section myself and it is clearly perfectly possible to submit feedback on any aspect of iPhone and its software. At the end of the feedback section you are simply asked to indicate whether you are a Windows or OSX user, since that can sometimes be relevant to the issue which you are raising. You seem to believe (wrongly) that this means you cannot feed back on iOS6.
Unfortunately too much of your letter is padded out with your "preoccupation" with some forum users, which Cook has no responsibility for. You would have been better sticking the technical issues you have with iOS6.

My letter has gone now.. and if it is ever read by someone then it is good to know about what is going on with support communities. Such threads have become highly ranked on Google search and that is a very bad PR to continue for any business.
I still believe that a feedback for iPhone must have the dropdown menu for the iOS and the hardware that the feedback is given for. This is simple software QA principles for any programmer designing intefaces.

Got to weigh in here. Most of us aren't flamers but concerned customers. I worked for 30 years in the software business and 2 steps backwards plus an apology is unacceptable to your CUSTOMERS! It's also a lousy business model, which is why Apple still lags so far behind in the corporate world and worldwide. After a lifetime of Windows et al I took the plunge around 5 years ago and went hook line and sinker for the Apple dream. Being a power user, I wasn't that impressed with the apps but liked the ongoing integration ( iCloud and all the trimmings). At this moment i have a power MAC desktop, powerbook laptop, iphone and ipad.
Even when they took away iWeb I didn't turn away since it never reached the potential of real web hosting so those of us who do real work (like website development) never took it seriously (although I have friends who are less experienced and users of Apple products and depended on it, who were devastated to summarily lose their novice web presence ). But now you see a pattern emerge -- and it is plenty disturbing. Without regard for their CUSTOMERS, Apple summarily drops support for whatever reason they divine. In fact the google maps app was not only an essential app (probably 3rd after email and web browsing) which I used frequently in my own home city to check traffic and change routes to a destination with which I was familiar, (incredibly valuable for day-to-day living) but it also helped me walk all over Paris this summer and find my bus when I needed. Fabulous. Now a work-around is offered. I guess devoted Apple acolytes who use computing as a hobby find this acceptable. But I fear a closed system for devotees becomes an inwardly focused and ultimately less than serious solution for other than the most novice user. Yes Apple makes it seductively easy to go along for the ride but I have to seriously question whether I can trust them for the long haul. I can still switch to Android for handheld devices and maybe I'll have to cobble together a slightly less than elegant solution, which I'd honestly rather not do, but have to give serious consideration. This was just a plain stupid move. It's not the only issue I have with these products but it's a troubling trend.
OK all you BASHERS of anyone who dares to question the infallible Apple, you can pile on now!! Something to do with your evenings. (and seriously, no backspace key?). Just call me old fashioned, I guess.

Spoke to technical help as I want the new map app to be removed,as its crap, there tech says it could be 3 years before its fully up to speed and there working on it.
As I said all I want is the app removing either by going back to iOS 5 etc,neither possible, say if you bought the apple map app from the App Store,you would delete and or maybe give it a poor review.
Seems apple can do what the **** they like now,and appear to be going backwards, what happened to there leading edge stuff.

Martin PBM-5A Mariner |
Serial Number: 122071
Registration: N3190G
Markings: Transport Squadron 21 (VR-21), ca. 1950
The PBM-5A is the last version of the Mariner built for the U.S. Navy by the Martin Company. The prototype was first built in 1937 and production continued until April 1949, when the last PBM-5A was completed. They were taken out of service in 1958. Originally the PBM-3 and PBM-5 were pure "flying boats", the -5A version of the Mariner introduced amphibious capability to the type and became the largest amphibian ever built. The PBM planes served through World War II and the Korean War as a long-range patrol bomber and rescue aircraft. Of the 1367 PBM Mariners of all models built, this is the last intact aircraft in existence. Only 36 PBM-5A's were manufactured and 4 PBM-5S were modified as PBM-5A's. |

ISU Defenders Want To Give By Taking AwayBy Rob Gray, Reporter
AMES, Iowa — The football showed itself.
Iowa State nickelback Deon Broomfield's eyes widened. His arm became a rake — and produced a take-away that could have reversed the momentum of Saturday's 31-10 Big 12 loss at favored Oklahoma State. Stress: could have. "We're going to keep trying to get the ball back to our offense and hopefully they can build something off of that," said Broomfield, whose forced fumble and recovery at the Cyclones' 3-yard line in the second quarter preceded one of six offensive three-and-outs. "That's the game plan for success for us." ISU (4-3, 1-3) looks to rebound at 6 p.m. Saturday against Baylor (3-3, 0-3) at Jack Trice Stadium. Finishing on the plus side in the turnover tussle will again be a critical factor in determining the Cyclones' on-field fortunes. Broomfield's opportunistic play Saturday came with the Cowboys leading 17-10. He scooped up the ball and returned it near midfield, but his knee touched the turf as he made the recovery. "We needed a stop, we needed a turnover," said Broomfield, who is tied for the team lead in pass breakups (six), passes defended (seven) and forced fumbles (two). "Just trying to make a play. I didn't know (my knee was down). It was so quick — first instinct was to get the ball and just take off." The offense — which could be triggered by either Jared Barnett, Steele Jantz or Sam Richardson this week — didn't follow suit. And despite its recent travails, particularly in the running game, the mantra remains "we're not far off." "It's a matter of moving your foot two more inches on your first step to get better angles," offensive lineman Carter Bykowksi said. "Not taking a false step. Proper hand placement on a punch, or head placement on a combo block. Stuff like that." ISU running back Jeff Woody spoke of misreads, missteps and missed blocks on certain plays that cumulatively led to consistency problems. "Stuff that can be corrected and needs to be corrected," said Woody, who scored the Cyclones' lone touchdown in the first quarter. But who bears the brunt of a fan base's angst when an offense bogs down? The offensive coordinator, of course. ISU Coach Paul Rhoads stands firmly behind his, Courtney Messingham. "I was a coordinator and called defenses for nine years," Rhoads said. "And in the ninth year I was still doing things that I'd like to have back. Mess has been a coordinator before, but he's back in the groove and he's had seven games with this offense, and two quarterbacks, and running backs being down. There's a lot of variables in there. And every game there's things he'd like to have back and every game he's learning from that. Very intelligent coach, very outstanding coach and very happy with the job he's doing leading the offense." As for Broomfield and the defense, it's business as usual. Make plays, hope for the best. The Cyclones are tied for 30th in turnovers collected with 15 and tied for 93rd in turnovers lost with 16. "The best thing we can do is get the ball to them wherever we can get it to them," Broomfield said. "Whether it's on the 3-yard line like it was (Saturday) or on the plus side of the 50. Anytime you can turn the ball over, it's a plus for us." Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

About meHailing from South Africa, he's been claimed as the World's Top Cricketer of the Year 2007 by Wisden. Kallis is a talented right-handed batsman and an effective fast-medium bowler, being the only cricketer to score more than 9,000 runs, bag 200 wickets and pouch 100 catches in both Tests and ODIs. From October to December of 2007, he produced a remarkable streak of five centuries in 4 Tests. With 30 Test centuries to his credit, Kallis has established himself as one of the modern greats of the game. He was pivotal to South Africa winning the ICC Champions Trophy title in 1998 with two man-of-the-match and the player-of-the-series performances. In 2005, Kallis was a part of the World XI team that played an Asian XI in a benefit match for those affected by the tsunami of 2004. In the same year he was awarded the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the ICC Player of the Year. Kallis currently holds a number of South African cricket records, including most ODI and Test runs, highest ODI and second highest Test batting average and most Test centuries. With a remarkable batting average of over 58, he is rated as one of the best batsmen in the world. Jacques Kallis Image GalleryPlayer Video Gallery

She is amazing and one of the most beautiful people I know. Some of you know her as Charlie and if you know her I'm sure you feel just as lucky as me.
She inspires me to be more than I am. To write, to sing, to dance, to LIVE.
When I look into her eyes and she looks back I feel like I am lying on my back staring up at the the night sky with stares shining bright. I am overcome with this feeling of infinity, like the possibilities are endless.
When she hurts it hurts me but I literally feel the love coming out of her when she is in pain.
I love you, Pika, I'm not really sure how and I don't really want to try and find out. I will just let life do it's thing and see where it puts us. Why start putting labels on things? I mean labels just limit an keep things from changing into something more.
I doubt you will see this but I hope that somehow you feel it.

How to Fire an Incompetent Teacher
An illustrated guide to New York's public school bureaucracy
Joel Klein led the Justice Department's attack on Microsoft for its alleged efforts to monopolize the software market. But Microsoft is a hotbed of competition compared to the organization Klein runs now. Klein is chancellor of New York City's public school system, a monopoly so heavily regulated that sometimes it's unable to fire even dangerous teachers.
The series of steps a principal must take to dismiss an instructor is Byzantine. "It's almost impossible," Klein complains.
The rules were well-intended. The union was worried that principals would play favorites, hiring friends and family members while firing good teachers. If public education were subject to the competition of the free market, those bureaucratic rules would be unnecessary, because parents would hold a bad principal accountable by sending their kids to a different school the next year. But government schools never go out of business, and parents' ability to change schools is sharply curtailed. So the education monopoly adopts paralyzing rules instead.
The regulations are so onerous that principals rarely even try to fire a teacher. Most just put the bad ones in pretend-work jobs, or sucker another school into taking them. (They call that the "dance of the lemons.") The city payrolls include hundreds of teachers who have been deemed incompetent, violent, or guilty of sexual misconduct. Since the schools are afraid to let them teach, they put them in so-called "rubber rooms" instead. There they read magazines, play cards, and chat, at a cost to New York taxpayers of $20 million a year.
Once, Klein reports, the school system discovered that a teacher was sending sexual e-mails to a 16-year-old student. "This was the most unbelievable case to me," he says, "because the e-mail was there, he admitted to it. It was so thoroughly offensive." Even with the teacher's confession, it took six years of expensive litigation before the school could fire him. He didn't teach during those six years, but he still got paid—more than $350,000 total.
What did it take to finally get rid of him? What does it take to get rid of any teacher whose offenses are so egregious that administrators are willing to tackle the red tape? Read on.

Please let me know if this works. On Mac systems, hold the CTRL button down while clicking on the link and do something similar.
Yeah I'm seeing the same thing Ellis.
thing Ellis.
You fail to mention or commend the majority of teachers who dedicate their lives to the success of their students! We dislike bad teacher, too. Bad teachers won't get tenure if they don't know what they are doing or are not willing to try to become better. The rubber rooms mentioned in this article no longer exist in the NYC public school system. As a teacher and taxpayer, I am happy to see serious cases resolved quickly.
You are a teacher? You didn't realize this article was about "Incompetent Teachers"? It wasn't an article about teachers in general. How's that reading comprehension coming along? Idiot.
I know there are dedicated [and successful] teachers in NYC and elsewhere. One such example is John Taylor Gatto, a former NYC and NY state "Teacher of the Year." He is now a speaker and author of such books as "Dumbing Us Down" and "A Different Kind of Teacher." Do you suppose there is a compromise? One thing I would do is eliminate the 3-month statute of limitations on disciplinary letters and put them in line with other NY state statutes of limitations, which I believe is 7 years for most felonies except murder.
When my son (now an adult)was in 3rd grade, I discovered that his teacher was with holding his lunches, making him lay face down on the floor spread eagle in front of the class, barring him from participating in classroom projects and recess, in an effort to get him to finish classroom assignments...rather than notifying me there was a problem. The principal refused to do anything, so I kept him home until the school finally agreed to move him to another class. The reason the teacher was not even confronted? She had "tenure"....!
That is what teachers unions do for you.
In Georgia there are no teachers unions. It is still a little difficult to fire incompetent teachers, but we do it all the time. -

Slow Food
Sometimes reviving a family tradition, like making Norwegian lefse, isn't quite as sweet as it sounds.
I am compelled to make lefse, the Norwegian tortilla-like potato flatbread—made mostly today by grandmothers, or descendants thereof, who are eager to keep the memory of the mother country alive. Made by my grandmother, lefse (pronounced "LEF-suh") came in stacks, wrapped in foil, around Thanksgiving and would last through the new year. We ate it topped with butter, cinnamon, and sugar; nuked in the microwave; and rolled up into easy-eating bliss. The simple thought of lefse conjures vivid memories of my sister sitting across the table from me as we devoured, and likely fought over, the dwindling stash.
My first attempt came last winter. The recipe called for 10 pounds of potatoes to be transformed into a sticky, doughy mass. I won't lie: It was a struggle. My grandmother was patient and calm. I am not. I like to multitask, to see how much I can get done in a short amount of time, and then I try to do it faster the next time. Rolling out tacky dough and cooking one piece of lefse at a time on a griddle elicited curses, followed by guilt. I knew my grandmother would not approve. In the end, the lefse turned out misshapen but altogether fine. Even so, I left the
kitchen defeated.
I promised myself I would do it again. That is what tradition is, after all: repetition. This year, I dedicated a full day to the process. With a few successful rounds pulled from the griddle (I had learned something from last year!), I was feeling confident and wanted to move more quickly. Faster movements led to mistakes, annoyance, and guilt. Frankly, I realized, this connection to the past I longed for was no fun at all.
At the height of my frustration, my husband entered the flour-dusted kitchen and spotted the warm stack of flatbread nestled between towels on the counter. "Lefse!" he cried and immediately dove into the pile. I smiled. This is what lefse is about. It wasn't about the solo kitchen time, or the struggle, or eating it alone. It was about sharing it with others.
I packed the remainder of my accomplishment into a freezer bag. It was soon transported from my freezer to a suitcase to an overhead compartment on a plane, en route to my niece's first birthday. Again, my sister and I sat together, doling out the rounds, passing the cinnamon and sugar. This time, it was the two of us introducing lefse to a new generation. I have no doubt that would make my grandmother proud.
Hello Caroline! Your article hit so close to home! My mother and I make lefse every Thanksgiving and Christmas to try to keep the tradition alive. And yes, the flour goes everywhere and it takes FOREVER! If you get someone to help you do the flipping while you roll the dough, it goes much quicker. Thanks for the article.
Thank you for your comment. I love that you and your mother make lefse too! I will certainly enlist the help of others next year—for flipping and storytelling.

Silver Explorer: Barbados to Panama
Day 1 - October 9, 2013 - Bridgetown, Barbados
After a long day, I'm here finishing the log and getting ready for our first day of expedition in Trinidad and Tobago. All in all, it was a fantastic day in Barbados.

Day 2 - October 10, 2013 - Scarborough, Tobago
A short coach ride took us to Pigeon Point along the leeward side of the island where we boarded two glass-bottom boats and headed for Buccoo Reef, the largest such reef around Tobago.

Day 3 - October 11, 2013 - Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago
The second tour, on which I was accompanying our guests with my colleagues, was a visit to the Asa Wright Nature Center, a nature lodge and scientific research center in the Arima Valley in the Northern Range of Trinidad. It is most known by bird watchers for its unbelievable richness of bird species, but not only birds can be observed here. There are also reptiles, amphibians and a great variety of butterflies.

Day 4 - October 12, 2013 - At Sea
Out on deck, the birders were in paradise. These islands were home to many species of sea birds and they were flying all around the ship. I recognized masked and brown boobies, frigates and a species of tern. We watched the boobies diving for fish and looked at the birds' rooting areas on the islands through binoculars.

Day 5 - October 13, 2013 - Los Roques, Venezuela
I spent my morning driving zodiacs while the weather was building up a bit. Some of our guests rather opted for a relaxing morning in the other landing site planned for today at Madriski Kay, a spot with turquoise warm waters, lovely beach, and nice refreshments, drinks and ceviche served by the locals.

Day 6 - October 14, 2013 - At sea, on road to Santa Marta (Colombia)
Before breakfast some of our early bird guests even saw a group of about 50 dolphins swimming along Silver Explorer. Later during lunch a couple of dolphins were following our ship, and during the ice cream social I saw another three of them that, we appeared as fast as they disappeared - what a beautiful welcome to Colombian waters!

Day 7 - October 15, 2013 - Santa Marta, Colombia
The park, from sea level to 900 meters, protects a high diversity of animal and plant species, many of them endemic due to the fact that the isolated Sierra de Santa Marta provides an exquisite laboratory for evolution. The number of species called "Santa Marta" thus-and-such is remarkable and I felt very lucky to be able to visit this special place.

I see TLC NAND as an inferior product because it isn't that much less expensive for a manufacturer to use over MLC and the savings is going to go more to the seller in terms of margin. Consumers associate MLC with SSDs because this is the first TLC product in the market. I see TLC is filling a void in the market for seller (how to sell a substandard NAND type by riding on the coattails of a successful NAND type) but not so much for the buyer. Companies pull all sorts of trickery, like the infamous "panel lottery" in LCD TVs.
I would feel much better about this product if Samsung had called it the 820 TLC, instead of disguising it with practically the same name as a good MLC drive. This is too much like the LCD panel lottery and the naming trickery of Nvidia and ATI/AMD. I'm tired of companies trying to pull a fast one on people, as OCZ did when it switched from 32-bit NAND to 64-bit in the Vertex 2, not changing the name or the stated specs on the box.
From Anandtech:
"If you use your computer for checking email and browsing the Internet, no doubt a TLC based SSD will be sufficient. For the majority of consumers, TLC SSDs should meet their demands." Getting the 128GB for the girlfriend who pretty much uses her laptop for that. Different products suit different people. Some should stay away, some shouldn't.
I'll even list a post from a HardOCP member that not only states that they wish that HardOCP would do the type of testing that's being done by TweakTown, and likely xtremesystems, as well, but that. (Link [hardocp.com]) those numbers show an estimated lifespan of 10-12 years; that is 3 times that "educated guess" offered in the review. Are you seriously going to make statements that suggest everyone is conspiring to hide some secret performance issue? First it's with Samsung, and now it's the review sites? I don't think people are glossing over the power consumption. It just isn't that notable. It's pretty average. It is still an improvement over mechanical drives, and in no way severely hinders battery life. As far as I'm concerned, you're just continuing to be alarmist about some supposed higher consumption, which is actually more specific to the 120GB model, than the higher capacity drives, of which this thread is specifically targeting. (more below)
Here is a complete chart from a recent review of the 120GB model by HardOCP: Link [hardocp.com] (*Notice that they list the 250GB model as 240GB, which, even as a typo, lowers their credibility. Perhaps it's excusable, but they actually mislabel it in ALL the charts from the review [hardocp.com]..) Let's assume, even though it isn't stated, that the startup power is what they measured to be the average. Even so, we can see that both the idle and statup wattages are actually LOWER than this whole range of drives from 2009: Link [anandtech.com] Who was complaining about the power consumption of SSDs in 2009? If you're saying that it should be better, then fine. However, to state that it is somehow retroactively an issue, even compared to drives from over 3 years ago, I grow very reluctant to take your opinion seriously. I'll even provide this additional chart that has the power consumption measurements for some other drives just to make the point that much more lucid. (Link [tomshardware.com]) Please stop spouting nonsense. Others that are against this propagation of misinformation, including myself, are not "evangelists". We are simply stating that the supposed issues that have been continuously stated are not as prodigious as you, and other hear/read and tell/type people, are attempting to market. If you are so concerned about the lifespan of TLC, then don't use any USB thumb drives. Those typically use TLC memory, as well. How many of those have died on you?

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." - Tyler Durden
http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/...psca82ef43.gif [photobucket.com] |
The other bottom line is that, as NAND continues to shrink, the program/erase lifespan of NAND also shrinks. TLC compounds that by being even more error prone than MLC. If people want to pay for a high-voltage/high-power low lifespan product, that's their prerogative. However, Samsung should have named the product clearly since it's the first TLC SSD in the market and chose not to. The established expectations for a consumer SSD are MLC-based. Consumers look at the price tag and think they're getting a great deal on an MLC drive, hence the 10 or so front page listings in the last two weeks for this 840 Series. |
Had a hell of a time installing a 250gb 840 PRO yesterday, the Norton Ghost that came bundled in the Samsung Magician didn't support the drive cloning feature. Fortunately, Hiren's Boot CD 10.4 has a full version of Ghost, which worked like a charm.
Secondly, how can you openly state that there is trickery, and then say that a consumer has some expectation that isn't being met? If this average group is aware of what an SSD is, shouldn't they know just a bit about the types of memory, and what to look for? I would think that they should be fairly informed. However, if not, then how would they even know what MLC is, to anticipate that they "should" be receiving that technology in their drive? Now, not knowing how Samsung officially determines the model numbers, I see that there is a 'T' in the TLC drive number, and a 'P' in the Pro drive's model number. Are you saying that the average consumer would not notice this? If there are 2 different model names, not to mention listed capacities, I think people are likely to look into what the differences are. If not, then they clearly aren't the best audience for this market, and that is their own fault for not being proactive with their purchases. MZ-7TD250BW MZ-7PD256BW Again, you are bickering over some marginally moderate power usage... That topic is pretty dead... I will not go about restating all the evidence to the contrary that I have already provided. Last edited by totherescue; 02-25-2013 at 12:53 PM.. |
I bought this a month ago and my wife loves it.
Just to be clear for the complainers! Average users will not see a difference on the proformance of a high end ssd and this one. Yes, the TLC is not as good, but the price is. The price I save now; I can use that to get a better one later. Samsung warranty the ssd for 3 years. That means it will last longer than that. So why are you complaining. People are suppose to do backup of their data anyways. |
Damn. So much hatred here... Calm down everyone. We are all on the same side here as consumers.
My opinion is that TLC is not good enough for my usage. This is based on my experiences with all sorts of drives. The biggest problem is that file systems are not made to be redundant and not made to withstand higher than "Exceptionally low" error rates. When you have a error on a normal file system it may try to read the data again, or it may just crash the system and lose everything you were doing. This depends on your OS mostly, as well as drivers, firmware, and what exactly you were doing at the time. On a file system made to withstand errors like a RAID-5 or even a RAID-6 array the problem is even worse. Ironically, the RAID array has no choice but to attempt to rebuild the array when there is any failure. So give up on doing anything for the hours it will take to rebuild the array when there is an error because you bought a drive with worse reliability than floppy diskettes. And it will fail to rebuild the array when it encounters another error while doing the rebuild. So you are risking the entire array if you have one or more of these PoS drives in the array. If this were a tenth the price I still would not touch it. (Before anyone comes to correct me, yes, I know and acknowledge some good quality RAID controller cards will handle all of this differently. Some can withstand minor errors and even function without the additional volumes it was made with. But if you can afford a $300 RAID card, why the hell would you use a cheaper than *Expletive* SSD in your array?) |

- Renewable energy stages a comeback (images)
Organic waste to biogas
Biomass, often in the form of wood, is the largest source of renewable energy in the U.S. by a significant margin. Incinerators and waste-to-energy plants have been around for decades but one form of biomass that's getting more attention is organic waste, such as yard waste and food. Organic waste can be decomposed using microbes to produce biogas, which is mostly methane, and nutrients for fertilizer. These anaerobic digester tanks pictured here in the municipality of Lidkoping, Sweden, will use waste from the local food industry as its main feedstock to make biogas, which can be used for heating or to generate electricity. Once the plant is completed, operators expect to handle 60,000 metric tons a year of waste and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 14,000 metric tons annually.

This was an excellent dish with alot of flavor. I used diced tomatoes with green chiles and served it with boneless ribs and steamed basmati rice. It had some nice heat. I will definitely turn to this recipe when I have zucchini and summer squash to use. I loved the combination with corn and green peppers, and it was super easy to prepare. Thanks TOH for another great recipe!

Comments about Pirates of the Caribbean Deluxe Blackbeard Boy's Costume:
The costume was cute, a little flimsy, especially the hat that I had to reshape to look like in the photo but it was a fun, cheap costume and my son loved it. We accessorized it with swords and guns and it was fun.

IMS Statement On Passing Of Jason Leffler
A statement from Indianapolis Motor Speedway Chief Operating Officer J. Douglas Boles about the death of driver Jason Leffler from injuries suffered in a sprint-car race June 12 at Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, N.J.:
"We are very saddened at the passing of Jason Leffler. He was one of the most versatile race drivers in America, showing his talent by competing in the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during his career. He also displayed the skills that would help him reach the top levels of the sport by winning four USAC national series titles while winning on tracks throughout the Midwest. Jason was a terrific guy who always had time for everyone. Our deepest sympathies are extended to his entire family, team and fans."
Leffler, 37, competed in the Indianapolis 500 in 2000 and the Brickyard 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008.
