Seagate Says Future is Hybrid HDD, Not Pure SSD
Seagate's placing bets that people still want big, capacious HDDs, not just pure SSD speed.
When Steve Jobs debuted the new MacBook Air laptops last week, he said that the new products were what Apple felt were the future of the notebook. Likely he meant that laptops would be shipping with SSD rather than HDD storage.
We love SSDs and we think that they're quite at home inside mobile computing devices, but Seagate doesn't see the industry moving to full solid-state storage.
During a Seagate conference call, CEO Steve Luczo, said that he doesn't see SSDs as being the future. While that sounds funny coming from the leader of a storage company, remember that Seagate isn't heavily invested in SSD technology as some other companies who have feet deep in flash memory.
Luzco also said that he owns a previous-generation MacBook Air with an SSD, but he's frustrated at the lack of storage capacity inside the machine.
Check out the Seeking Alpha transcript for the full call.
Well look, I mean obviously Steve sits in a position that only Steve sits in, in terms of the offering that they provide to their customers and its obviously pretty [compelling]. I would say though that from what we know of the offering for example Apple, the percentage of their units that they sell with SSDs versus HDDs is a tiny fraction. I think it's under 3%, certainly under 5%. Obviously this isn't the first product that they've had. I have an Air book with an SSD unit that I've had for I guess a year and half now. And I think, there are certain things that are certainly very nice about it. And other things that are little bit frustrating and a little bit frustrating parts are the cost and the lack of capacity.
I spend a lot of time cleaning out files so I can make room for not a lot of content to be honest with you. I think are there some users that can operate net environment and be happy, I think the answer is yes but I think as Seagate introduced hybrid drive last quarter, you get basically the features and function of SSD at more like disc drive cost and capacity. And in fact with the additional layer of cashing we believe that, downstream from a product perspective there will be performance advantages to SSD whether or not that has to do with instant on or application load or what a load looks like year or two after you, you have your product versus that day you buy it.
I can tell you that my SSD drive takes about 25, 30 seconds to boot now versus the 12 seconds when I bought it. And that's just an issue more related to OS than it is specifically to the technology but again with the hybrid there is things that you can do it alleviate that so your boot times are actually as compelling one and two, three and four years down the road.
So I think that's where mainstream notebook computing is going if that's what your question is no I don't, do I think that Apple will be [successful] with that product absolutely, because Apple is successful with all their products. And so it's a very compelling company and a compelling value proposition within their value chain. But again we just view it as more devices that are computing in eating data and if they're low capacity on the edge that means they need a lot of storage pipe and down close to the edge and whether not that's in a mash box or code in the cloud or in a local cloud. Those are all markets that we serve. So the more that people do creative things with computers and devices were all four and Steve certainly at the forefront of that.
If thats what they think, then they need to step it up some. So far all we have from them is a hybrid drive with a paltry 4GB of flash. That and its in a 2.5" form factor. How about making some 3.5" drives with an actual decent amount of flash inside.
Of course they are biased since they are not a SSD company. As network bandwidth grows, hardisk will be on NAS / home servers while SSD will drive the gadgets / laptops and PCs.

3executor2 , October 27, 2010 2:41 PMIf Intel lunches the new 600GB SSD as in the leaked charts posted in TH , I bet the future is SSD . By the way I own a 250 GB Western Digital and I am very happy about that " limited " space
5proxy711 , October 27, 2010 2:44 PMI'm not sure i agree in time prices will fall and SSDs wont cost an arm and a leg.
I think any huge computer geek will have a SSD for their OS and a hybrid or normal HDD for backup and random files. I don't think anyone thought HDDs were going to be phased out anytime soon.
The normal consumer would be just fine with a 250-500gb SSD. I know my parents could get by with just a 60gb.
I own seagate's hybrid drive, i have it in my envy 14 while its a good HDD I'm not blown away by its performance like i would be if i had a good SSD.
6aevm , October 27, 2010 2:44 PM"as Seagate introduced hybrid drive last quarter, you get basically the features and function of SSD at more like disc drive cost and capacity."
No, you don't. Not so far anyway. Maybe with a lot more Flash and with faster HDDs. Maybe in some scenarios involving random accesses to a small number of small files, so the cache actually helps.
According to the benchmarks here,
Seagate's Momentus XT hybrid shows 84 or 85 MB/s average sequential read/write speeds. That's comparable to WD's 1.5TB Green hard drives, IIRC. Recent WD Black hard drives can reach over 100MB/s, for example. A Velociraptor can reach 130MB/s. Some Crucial SSDs offer 200MB/s for writing and 250MB for reading.
4SneakySnake , October 27, 2010 2:47 PMPlus SSD drives are relatively brand new compared to standard HDD's. In a year or 2 we'll have 500 GB+ SSD's for a few hundred $$
4cryptz , October 27, 2010 2:47 PMhis comments seem shockingly short sighted for a big player. To say that ssds are bad because there isnt alot of storage is pretty narrow minded, especially when making a statement about the future. cost is comming down and capacity is going up, give it another year (if you have to)
4werxen , October 27, 2010 2:52 PMAnymore else think its bullcrap the CEO of a harddrive company says he has to clean his hdd for more space? Just saying...
6TeKEffect , October 27, 2010 2:56 PMSounds like Nokia down playing android.... wake up!
8wolfram23 , October 27, 2010 2:57 PMI'd like to see a review of hybrid HDDs
9Marco925 , October 27, 2010 2:57 PMIs every CEO of a tech company named Steve nowadays?
-9masterasia , October 27, 2010 3:03 PMSeagate is crazy. They're only saying it because their hard drives suck.
4MxM , October 27, 2010 3:05 PMHe is right for the next, ehmm, 2-3 years. But even in 5 years or sooner, I think most of the drives will be SSD for home computers. Of course, HDD will have use in servers were massive storage is required, but not at home.
5killerclick , October 27, 2010 3:06 PMI have Windows 7, Adobe CS4, 10 Steam games and all my work on less than 100GB... so a 160GB SSD would be quite enough for me. My HDD is the loudest component in my system by far and losing that constant whine of 7200RPM would totally be worth the money.
4exodite , October 27, 2010 3:07 PMI, too, see going for a 'pure' SSD for the OS and applications and a big-ass conventional HDD for storage as the future.
I really don't need a hybrid drive.
-1HenrikG , October 27, 2010 3:15 PMI have the Intel 160GB SSD and I couldn't be happier. I'll never go back to HDD except for maybe an external HDD for backing stuff up.
I was thinking about upgrading the HDD in my PS3 to the Seagate 500GB w/ SSD but we'll see. I'm not going to do it until GT5 comes out and well, we all know when that will be right...
8The_Trutherizer , October 27, 2010 3:17 PMI don't agree with him. The future will be solid state. It may not be the current technology employed for solid state manufacturing, but you can be sure as hell that the future of storage is solid state. He should say near future. Short-sighted proclamations like this will only get you quoted in hundreds of short-sighted-dumbasses-who-should-have-known-better-lol-tech articles 20 years from now.
0atomyc , October 27, 2010 3:20 PMssd is still in its infancy so low gb and high price is normal. just wait a few years and 500 gb ssd will be the norm.
3godwhomismike , October 27, 2010 3:27 PMI installed an OCZ Agility 2 in a Lenovo laptop (2.2 GHz C2D, 4GB DDR3, and 512MB Nvidia GPU). The machine turned into a blazing speed demon. Once you use an SSD, you never want to use a traditional hard drive again. Oh, and the Apple SSD drive are not exactly running optimized. OSX has no Trim support, so you are giving up performance you'd normally see on a Windows 7 based machine. See Anandtech's performance comparison: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3991/apples-2010-macbook-air-11-13inch-reviewed/4
All I have to say is, the SSD drives are worth their weight in gold. And from what I am starting to see, The SATA 6Gbps versions of the next generation of SSD drives are said to be getting around 500 MBps performance.
3Scotteq , October 27, 2010 3:29 PMI could buy Mr Lukzo's statements in the context of a transition. I have an SSD (128GB), and use it for my OS and Games. But it is still cost~prohibitive to use an SSD for storage, and so I also have a 1TB WD Black for music, video, and other records. Both for cost's sake and also for convenience sake: if/when I build a new rig, I can simply move the storage drive.
Unfortunately for Seagate, they have yet to deliver a product that provides the speed of an SSD with the capacity of spinning discs. I'd buy one if they did. But they don't. So I don't.

"I train like an athlete very day, believe it or not," says the singer. (We believe it.) "My commitment to this character demands that I not only physically get ready, but also become him," he says. "The hair, the personality, the manner he conducts himself in — all that. He's an incredible man."
Usher, in a Mens Health profile 2 months ago, showing off his newly-minted bod, and sharing his workout routine, after dropping several pounds to play boxer Sugar Ray Leonard in Hands of Stone, starring opposite Robert De Niro and Edgar Ramirez (replacing Gael García Bernal) in a story that will center primarily on Panamanian boxer Roberto Durán (played by Ramirez).
De Niro will play Duran's Hall of Fame trainer, Ray Arcel.
The biopic, written and directed by Jonathan Jakubowicz, includes the "Brawl in Montreal," the first fight between Durán and Leonard, and the "no mas" fight, which took place in New Orleans.
In the eighth round of that fight, Duran inexplicably quit, saying in Spanish "no mas." They fought one more time, and Leonard won again.
Speaking about the project and his casting in the films, Usher had this to say:
"It was proper casting [...] I was selected. They approached me to do it. And all I had to do was consider it."
On his "proper casting" compared to the abilities of De Niro and Ramirez ("proper actors"), and whether he is at all intimidated at getting in the ring with them, so to speak...
"Not at all [...] not at all. There's a respect for both parties. I've seen Oscar winners come out of left field."
On Oscar winners coming out of left field, and what he believes his chances are with this particular role...
"I'm just saying Jennifer Hudson [...] I'm not even saying... You asked me, is it OK to assume that an actor who doesn't have as much skill can't out-act an actor who is well-decorated? And what I'm saying is, if you take a moment to just analyse... No... I'm not intimidated in any way. Because there's a shared passion and respect among all of us, and it's the type of script that will allow all of us to shine."
He added further...
"I don't know if this is the one that would win me an Oscar or not. I'm going into it offering my interpretation and my hard work and my dedication to be the best Sugar Ray ever. Or as good as the man can be. I've spoken to him, and I don't know if I'll ever be able to live up to him. But I'll try to be better than him."
He also said that he believes his dancing skills will help him in the role, for which he'll be shedding even more pounds.
"You couldn't find a more stylized boxer than Sugar Ray Leonard [...] He was an incredible motion guy, the way he moved around the ring, and I think my dancing will make it easier for me to pick up his moves. I've been working on familiarizing myself with the ring, sparring and just understanding how to move in the ring."
This will be the 8-time Grammy-winner's first leading role in a feature film.
"I'm up for the challenge, and I'm looking forward to it [...] I think my overall feeling is one of anticipation. It seems like this is a real passion project. It's a film that everybody is so invested in, and I have the good fortune of having the character I'm playing still around."
Hands of Stone is being shot entirely in Panama this fall.
From the set, a few photos of Usher as Leonard have surfaced online, and are embedded within this post (above and below):

Usher? Child please. I won't catch this flick for sure.
Marie | December 4, 2013 3:01 PM
More evidence of my "black actors and non-actors itching to do biopics as fast track to Oscar" theory. Even mentioning the word "Oscar" when you're appearing in your first film is reason enough to not support you. Usher displays a total lack of appreciation for the skills involved in BECOMING a character (many professional actors don't even do that well, let alone amateurs like him). Working out at the gym isn't enough to give a great acting performance (reminds me of Beyonce running on her treadmill with a picture of an Oscar in front of her face.) I believe in having confidence but it should be tempered with humility. Moreover, I've never been a Smollett fan (I think she projects too much) so this one's going to be a Netflix for me.
D.C. Kirkwood | December 4, 2013 2:38 PM
Originally, Columbus Short auditioned and was a contender for this role but they passed on him for Usher. This was before Scandal. I think this project has been in the works for atleast two years. Ill keep an open mind, since I saw him and Sugar Ray in a couple of photos together. Sugar Ray gave Usher his blessing and seems pleased with his performance. Plus Jurnee Smollet is playing his wife. I look forward to seeing it.
NO BRAINER | December 4, 2013 2:23 AM
I'm on team DARKAN as well. Thank you saving me the time because I wss gonna say the same thing you said. Usher? I can't.
CareyCarey | December 3, 2013 11:44 PM
STOP IT! I'm with Darkan, no mas man, stop the madness. There's no way in hell any boxing fan would buying into Usher being Sugar Ray Leonard!
But of special note, Sugar Ray Robinson, one of the best middle-weights of ALL time, was an excellent dancer. But on the flip side, being a life long boxing fan, I've never seen a boxer become a great actor. Well, if one considers Ken Norton's performance in Mandingo and Mike Tyson's do-what-he-do in Hangover I & II as great acting, then yeah, it's all good.
But seriously, Usher does not exhibit any characteristics of a boxer - NONE! And as Darkan noted, his ego is on par with Puffy's... we all know, and have seen how that translates on film.
Darkan | December 3, 2013 8:37 PM
Please, no mas Usher. The arrogance dripping from your lips gives off a stench. Also please note that being a great dancer doesn't make one a great boxer and damn sure doesn't make one a great actor. SMDH.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Despite a ominous looking crash scene there were only minor injuries in a rollover early Sunday morning on Martin Luther King Blvd. and Cesar Chavez Drive.
Police say Margie Gonzales, 48, ran her vehicle into the back of a car, causing it to spin. Gonzales then lost control of her truck. Witnesses say it flipped at least three times then landed up against a utility pole, nearly crashing into Kings Food & Gas.
Gonzales was arrested for driving while intoxicated and remained behind bars Sunday night. Her passenger had minor injuries.

President Obama waves in front of Dutch master Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" painting Monday during a visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam,... View Enlarged Image
NATO: Checking out Rembrandts and checking in with European allies, President Obama seems blind to the rubble around him. The U.S. leadership vacuum has left NATO as ravaged as a post-World War II battlefield.
In May 1945, a sizable force of Allied bombers flew photographers over European cities to document the destruction of what was then, and remains, the worst war in history. Their images of urban craters and flattened buildings are permanent reminders of the evils of totalitarianism.
One can't help wondering, if Barack Obama had been on board, whether he would have looked down and remarked on the day's pleasant weather.
"Europe and America are united in our support of the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian people. We're united in imposing a cost on Russia for its actions so far," the president said Monday after touring Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum.
How inappropriate that his backdrop was Rembrandt's massive painting "The Night Watch," depicting a unified war effort.
What exactly is the "support" Europe and America are providing the Ukrainian people, some 7.5 million of whom were starved to death by Stalin 80 years ago, against Russia? And what is the cost the U.S. and EU are exacting from Stalin's successor, Vladimir Putin?
"We live in a different world than we did less than a month ago," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned in Washington last week. Putin's aggression against Ukraine, with the country's eastern parts vulnerable to Russian invasion now that Crimea has been conquered, should be "a wake-up call for the Euro-Atlantic community, for NATO, and for all those committed to a Europe whole, free, and at peace."
NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, warned in Brussels on Monday that a large Russian force on the eastern Ukrainian border now threatens Transnistria, independent since 1990 with a population of over 500,000.
In response, the G7 is tearing up Moscow's membership card, plans to discuss reducing dependence on Russian oil and gas in the coming months, and issued "The Hague Declaration," in which they "commend the Ukrainian government's ambitious reform agenda and will support its implementation as Ukraine seeks to start a new chapter in its history."
Putin must be shaking in his boots.
As NBC News quoted Josef Joffe, editor of Germany's national weekly Die Zeit as saying, "it was hard (for Putin) to resist this opportunity" to grab Crimea, since it involved "minimal force, maximum gain and, even better, the man has gained what we call 'street cred.'"
Obama, on the other hand, has bent over backwards to minimize America's military credibility. Putin and our other adversaries — from al-Qaida and Iran to North Korea and China — have seen us wearily pull out of two wars, Afghanistan and Iraq. And we won't even follow through on the threats we make to rogue states, like Obama's botched red line on chemical weapons in Syria last year, which Putin took full advantage of.
NATO, for all its might, appears impotent absent American leadership.
Immigration: The Obama administration has quietly released 37,477 illegal immigrant minors into the U.S. and deported a mere 280. So much for its warning to border jumpers that if they came here illegally, they'd be deported.Much of the debate on the unprecedented border surge from Central America ...
Media Activism: Desperate to frame the shooting death of Michael Brown in racial terms, CNN has bitten hard on what appears to be faked evidence. The network did the same thing during the Trayvon Martin case.A sketchy audiotape CNN breathlessly claimed could be a game changer in the shooting turns ...
Power: This lawless administration plans to bypass the two-thirds requirement for Senate ratification on a climate change treaty by entering into a "politically binding" hybrid agreement to "name and shame" climate scofflaws.Apparently letting the Environmental Protection Agency run amok with ...
Islamic State: So President Obama says, "We don't have a strategy yet" against the Iraq-Syria caliphate. Hillary Clinton was wrong about that 3 a.m. phone call; the problem is the 3 p.m. White House phone calls.'There's a phone in the White House, and it's ringing," Clinton's prescient 2008 ...

A northwest suburban man has been charged after police found more than $60,000 worth of drug paraphernalia at his West Side retail store Monday afternoon.
Hoffman Estates resident Bruce Kim, 44, faces two felony counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, police announced early Tuesday.
About 3 p.m., Harrison District officers were conducting a license check at Kim's store in the 0-100 block of North Pulaski Road when they saw "narcotics equipment" displayed for sale and found numerous boxes of other paraphernalia including large amounts of small bags, scales, blenders, measuring spoons and sifters, according to a police statement.
Kim, of the 4500 block of Mumford Drive in Hoffman Estates, was working behind the counter of the store at the time and was arrested at the store. He is scheduled to appear in bond court Tuesday.

ronlunaMore comments about Tetsu Kikuchi - D'ERLANGER
Shinpei's incredibly well-trained. He's got all the flexibility to play any style of music he wants and the musical ear to be able to tailor his style to perfectly suit any song presented to him. As a result, SuG's sound has significantly improved since they added his talent into their lineup. An amazingly adept young artist, shinpei has managed to pull SuG out of three years worth of stagnation left behind by their undeniably charming but unfortunately average original drummer.
He's fast too!
rakora77More comments about Shuji Suematsu - Janne Da Arc
His drum fills are just out of this world, He's one of the most influential drummers of Japan. His tempo is amazing, his live performance is just as good as his studio recordings. He's got everything a drummer needs.
he is once a roadie of 44magnum but don't underestimate him because he is one of yasunori sakurazawa's great influences just like john bonham
a drummer of one of the most influential band in japan
Although he looks tired most of the time
I'm still really impressed by his drumming skills~
Sakura, still doing a great job still nowadays. He inspired himself in bands like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and The Police; to me he is epic in Japanese music world. I recommend searching about him, he's a winner in many other aspects in his life.
an ex-l'arc~en~ciel drummer, he is a drummer of SONS OF ALL PUSSYS
TD17More comments about Kiyoshi Ijichi - Asian Kung Fu Generation
This guy was amazingly good when he was alive
a deceased drummer of LOUDNESS
A very famous drummer in the Japanese rock scene. Jun-ji is a former member of Siam shade, and has done support drums for Gackt, T.M. revolution, Vamps, Acid Black Cherry, LM. C, and Janne the Arc. He's known for his humor and great talent.
I really love ko-ki!
Another great indie drummer.
With double kicks and double bass, Crossfaith's songs are always fast beating and bass-tastic!
Who doesn't love bass?!
Plus his hair is super glossy and is always flicking his hair around.
On their ' Into the Zion ' tour around Britain and United Kingdom, everyone was awestruck at his drumming skills.
" The drummer dude. Oh man he's crazy. Just crazy! " said one of the fans after seeing an event.
I will do Who Tatsuya druminng play!
I love Tastuya! Becusse My band menber are loved crossfaith!
We love Crossfaith! Me to!
Yummi is a really great drummer.. She is very talented as a girl.. She can plays the drum like John Bonham (led Zeppelin).. You should hear her drum play. She have the passion as a great drummer..
Great visual kei/Gothic drummer.
He also has double kicks and lots of tom-toms for more variety of sounds. He like to be in the back of the group and hides himself. I guess that's why he wears a hat to cover his eyes and has long black hair.
In my opinion, the only drummer that can match him is Amano Tatsuya from Crossfaith. Both from Japanese screamo rock bands and lightning-triggered wrists. Tomonori deserves to be at least in the top 10 of Japan's most focus drummers.
Yamato-san1! He may not be as popular as the other drummers of Jrock bands out there. But trust me, he's one of the best!
Such a great drummer

Northview Heights family center finds new life in graduates of leadership programSeptember 3, 2013 4:00 AM
Share with others:
People usually disperse after graduation, but 17 participants in the Coro Center for Civic Leadership's Next Leaders program stayed together after their yearlong training ended this summer.
They had met one mentor who was doing impassioned work in a place that trainee Alex Bard, 32, said "we recognized had incredible need and incredible opportunity."
Obscurely located and underused in Northview Heights -- an isolated public housing community on the North Side -- the Family Support Center and its leader, Renita Freeman, had captivated Mr. Bard and other Next Leaders to focus their energies there. Each had started the Coro program with 17 project ideas.
Participation in Coro leadership programs isn't supposed to end; the whole point is instill a desire to go forth and make a difference, said Coro CEO Greg Crowley. But a total group commitment -- albeit with some commitments stronger than others -- to one project for the long haul is unusual.
Next Leaders was a pilot in 2011 in the Hill District to infuse community organizations with new ideas and prepare younger people to become leaders in community advocacy. The recent graduates focused on the North Side.
The Coro trainees begin their yearlong program by networking, meeting mentors, visiting community organizations and coming up with individual projects to implement.
"We saw how passionate Renita is about what she does and she was supportive of our interests," Mr. Bard said.
As one group, they received a $14,400 grant from the Pittsburgh Partnership for Neighborhood Development.
There were three grants available, Mr. Bard said, "and I said, 'Why don't we all go together on this for one big grant?' "
As their first grand gesture, they gathered volunteers and painted the Family Support Center, removed a dangerous metal awning and planted flowers. Then they threw an after-party cookout for residents and gave away 200 book bags to children who were heading back to school.
"We served 398 people" food, Mr. Bard said.
"It was the most people we've ever had here at one time," Ms. Freeman said.
"A lot of people said they didn't know it was here," Mr. Bard said.
"I believe they don't, but they should," said Clarise Pryor, a resident of six years. "I use the center for everything. They're a wonderful resource, from food bank to child care to help with rent. I study there for my GED."
The Family Support Center is operated by the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh, one of the league's three such centers in Allegheny County. It has five staff members, including family development specialists and a case manager. It is a drop-in center for child care, provides computers and a library, family counseling, a family room for relaxing and socializing, a play room, a classroom to get children ready for first grade, a kitchen, a small food bank, repasts after funerals and a stage for performances.
One of the Next Leaders wants to be a youth mentor on the site.
"We can give him space," Ms. Freeman said. "Depending on the ages [of kids] he wants to mentor, we can match him with families. I would also love to see a young men's program. We have so many fatherless boys."
Quincy Swatson, 22, of Manchester, a student at the Community College of Allegheny County studying liberal arts, is going to establish a pilot aquaponics system to test in Manchester and transfer to an unused greenhouse at the Family Support Center.
"I wanted a way to involve inner city kids in something positive with a byproduct a sustainable resource," he said. "They can grow produce and fish. We already have a North Side restaurant interested in buying the fish."
Ms. Freeman said the Family Support Center is available not just to Northview Heights residents but also has participants from the Allegheny Dwellings and Fineview.
"We have 50 families, but there is so much more potential," she said.
Mr. Bard, the program events manager at the New Hazlett Theater in Allegheny Center, said he wants to conduct a community survey to make people more aware of the center and to find out how it can get more residents to use it.
"People in public housing often detach themselves" when they live in isolated places like Northview Heights, said Ms. Freeman, who grew up in the community and worked her way through the University of Pittsburgh, where she got a bachelor's degree in communications.
"This place is cut off, and that's a challenge," she said. "A lot of people don't even think about the future much less prepare for it. But we have a mechanism here for people to grow."

4-Star running back Dennis Norfleet (5'7/165) of Detroit, Mich. wasn't the biggest player on the field, but at the IMG Madden Football Academy's 2011 7on7 Championship, he proved to be the best.
Norfleet and Michigan quarterback commitment Shane Morris '13 (6'3/185) of Warren, Mich. led their Max Exposure team down from Michigan to take on a host of teams from Florida in the sweltering Florida heat and came away champions.
Norfleet and Morris were running neck and neck for the MVP for the tournament, but Norfleet separated himself from his teammate after elevating for a pass that was well over thrown and landing on a brick lined sidewalk with an audible thud.
Two plays later, Norfleet caught a long touchdown pass and earned the admiration of a vocal Team Tampa and spectators alike.
Here is a look at Norfleet against Team Tampa in the two championship games. Tampa was coming out of the loser's bracket having lost earlier in the day and won the first game, before Max Exposure took over and won a convincing second game.

Bonsai – Done Right
In the world of online bonsai vendors almost everything I see is a cookie cutter bonsai.
Because I am a Bonsai artist first and this website is a result of me and my family's appreciation for the beauty and tradition of bonsai. My work evolves and progresses as I do as a artist. In the near future you will see one of a kind pieces on this page which where decades in the
making. I'm very excited and am looking forward to sharing these Beautiful pieces with everyone.
The items you currently see on the page are all one of a kind specimens, as we progress you will see more impressive examples.
I would love any feedback as to what you would like to see on the page. Such as techniques, care information, or new products you would like us to carry.
I would like to give a little more info about my background and how we got into the bonsai business.
Bonsai is very special to me, when I was about 12 my mother taught me a few basic things about bonsai. Shortly after this, I lost my mother very suddenly at the age of 13. This sounds like a sad story but it's not. I learned very on that life is not permanent and that is what makes it special. Without impermanence the value of our lives would greatly diminish. As a result I like to think I came out a stronger young man. Needless to say bonsai has always been a piece of my mother that I was able to keep with me. I stuck with it, studied and progressed as an artist. It brings me a peace like nothing else in my life. Naturally I am excited to share this peace and joy with my friends, family, and the world.
With the motivation of my god-mother Nandi, I left my job in the automotive transport and went full time with Best-Bonsai.com. I then went to The Morakami Museum in Miami, meditated on the beautiful tree's and developed the concept for this site.
Any one from beginner to pro can come to this site and post pics of there favorite work, get instructional information, or just talk bonsai. I look forward to the next year. Thank you for your interest in my passion Best Bonsai.

Jessica Alba recently opened up about overcoming personal challenges with help from her acting career, including her role in the upcoming film "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For."
The 33-year-old starlet, who was raised Catholic, is celebrating the journey she has taken through Hollywood today. Alba discussed a breakthrough that occurred while working with an acting coach that allowed her to solve personal issues through her film roles.
"She's so rad," the star said of her acting coach while speaking to Maxim. "She really believes that actors are here to tell stories and to heal people through healing themselves. And she believes that every character is about you healing something in your life." more >>
The new HBO series "The Leftovers" brings the Christian rapture theory to the forefront of secular culture showcasing a side of the faith not embraced by the entire body. The show, along with the upcoming "Left Behind" movie, exposes droves of non-believers to the concept of Jesus mysteriously rapturing a percentage of the world's population out of it with no real explanation at the time.
"The Leftovers" builds on this concept by telling the rapture story from a point of view that removes the faith aspect and deals with the nature of those left on Earth. The original "Left Behind" series takes the more traditional evangelical route, and it is unclear at this time if the upcoming film will follow suit with previous iterations.
The rapture concept, while popular among evangelical circles, strays far from the teachings of the historical Church and an accurate interpretation of scripture, according to Christian apologist and philosopher Dr. William Lane Craig. more >>
Earlier this week, Redeemer Presbyterian Pastor Tim Keller took to Twitter to answer questions about his feelings on Harry Potter, Matthew Vines, and why he's not a sports fan. He also touched on his beliefs on creation and evolution — a larger explanation of which can be found here.more >>
Actors Chris Pratt and Anna Faris wanted to start their family soon after getting married, but they never planned on a medical crisis bringing them closer together. Pratt recently opened up about the birth of his premature son Jack and how it restored his faith in God.
"We were scared for a long time," Pratt said of the time his son Jack spent in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit after being born nine weeks early. "We prayed a lot."
"It restored my faith in God, not that it needed to be restored, but it really defined it," Pratt told People magazine. "The baby was so beautiful to us, and I look back at the photos of him and it must have been jarring for other people to come in and see him, but to us he was so beautiful and perfect." more >>
Several months before "Left Behind" opens in theaters, a prominent Christian philosopher is reminding the American church that the movie's claims about the rapture are false.
"This doctrine is not really found in the book of Revelation. If you read the book of Revelation, you won't find any mention of the rapture there," said William Craig, a Research Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology and Professor of Philosophy at Houston Baptist University.
Instead, Craig says, the idea of the rapture comes from a "misinterpretation of 1 and 2 Thessalonians where Paul is describing the coming of the Lord and resurrection of the dead, which will occur at His coming." more >>
The first official trailer for "Fifty Shades of Grey," a film based on the bestselling E. L. James book series, hit the internet last week like a tidal wave, spawning various reaction videos and a media frenzy.
The trailer shows the book's character Christian Grey seducing the young Anastasia Steele through various unconventional sexual encounters. He utters the words "I don't do romance" during the clip, setting the tone for what type of experience viewers should expect.
Dr. Juli Slattery, clinical psychologist and co-author of Pulling Back the Shades: Erotica, Intimacy and the Longings of a Woman's Heart, feels that the movie will add to a movement that has already been working to normalize pornography for women. more >>

The Paley Center for Media has announced its July 2012 events, featuring the New York premiere of the HBO documentary film ABOUT FACE: SUPERMODELS THEN AND NOW, Soledad O'Brien, Sheldon Harnick, and more. See below for further details.
Tuesday, July 17th
ABOUT FACE: SUPERMODELS THEN AND NOW reunites fashion's legendary models to reflect on their lives, careers and complex relationships with their physical appearance and the business of beauty. From our culture's obsession with youth to substance abuse, self-esteem, race and even plastic surgery, this film explores beauty as a commodity, overnight stardom and the reinvention that can come with aging. The HBO documentary film reveals how a handful of extraordinary women defined and redefined beauty from the 1940s through the 1980s. Shot by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders in his intimate portrait style, the film features some of the all-time most celebrated visages of the 20th century: Carol Alt, Marisa Berenson, Karen Bjornson, Christie Brinkley, Pat Cleveland, Carmen Dell'Orefice, Jerry Hall, Bethann Hardison, Beverly Johnson, China Machado, Paulina Porizkova, Isabella Rossellini and Lisa Taylor.

Got your attention? My wife and I brought home kids 3 and 4 about 6 weeks ago. Trying to figure out how to keep the pipeline going with very limited time. I have adopted the no chill method (only waiting 4 hours or so and still use immersion chiller). My question is, can I steep the night before and do the boil in the morning.
That would help a lot. Any other ideas?
And I'm an all extract plus grains brewer.
Thanks !

Yes you can. No worries about the boogie man because it goes into the boil.
You should be fine steeping the night before. You only need to worry about infection after the boil.
Bot so fast!
Grain has a lot of bacteria on it, and if you don't heat it up above a certain temperature (I'm not sure what it is) and kill the bacteria, the bacteria can go crazy in the nice warm incubator you have made for it, making lots of undesirable products; one that comes to mind is Lactbacilluis which is often used to sour beers like Berliner Weisse, and is one of the souring organisms in Lambics..
After steeping raise the temp until about to boil, cover and leave alone and you should be good.
Alternatively, you can just toss the steeping grains in cold water in the morning. In the time it takes to go from room temp to 170 on the stove, you just steep away. Just pull them before you hit 170 and you are fine. You gotta bring the water up to temp anyway, so it doesn't add any time to you brewday.
Make sure you use a lot of rice hulls so the babies don't gum up the mash.

what is the standard p.h. level of water I should want to use. My efficiancy sucks this may be why The water company says p.h. is between 7.5 and 8.5 normaly what is good?
from what ive read....5.2 to 5.7
But ive read very little on this so someone may correct me.
It's not necessarily the ph of the water that you're worried about. Sure, it'd be good to start with a neutral ph, but the important thing is the softness of your water. Your grains will adjust the ph of your water to the correct range for mashing if it's soft enough. To have some peace of mind, you could purchase some 5.2 buffer, which works very well even for some not-so-soft water. Really light grains (like pilsner) have a harder time adjusting, but for most "regular" grain bills, you will probably be fine. If you want to know, just test your ph about ten minutes or so after dough-in.
The PH of the water don't really matter. It's the PH of the mash that's important.
It should be in the range of 5.2 to 5.5 measured at mash temps.

Most pivotal players in 2013
Geno Atkins among 10 players that will most affect their team's success
One player does not make a football team. But, depending on the guy, one player can make a heck of an impact. And in some cases, I believe the performance of a lone player can be the difference between title contention and missing the playoffs.
The players below comprise my most pivotal players for the 2013 season. Individually, they figure to have a disproportionate impact on their team's season due to their ability or the essential role they perform on the field. If they don't measure up, there's little chance their team will meet expectations.
A brief final note: With one exception, I excluded quarterbacks from this list because it's more or less a given that a down year from -- or an injury to -- a starting quarterback will derail a season. That said, here are my 10 most pivotal players for 2013, presented in alphabetical order.
Geno Atkins, DT, Cincinnati Bengals
Tony Dungy always believed that the three-technique had an outsized impact on a game because he's the guy closest to the ball at the start of every play. Therefore, the havoc he can create will disrupt the offense faster than any other defensive player. And Atkins is terrific at creating some chaos. The Bengals have good, not great, outside rushers -- it's Atkins who is the difference-maker. Since he's so unique and such a rare talent as an inside rusher, he gives lumbering guards fits.
The Bengals face heightened expectations in 2013, with some believing a deep postseason run is a possibility. For that to happen, Atkins must shine once again. If he falls off from his 2012 level of play or if he were to get hurt, Cincinnati wouldn't be as effective defense, especially on third down.

After the line of Abd al-Rahman bin Faysal became marginalized with the deaths of Khalid bin Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahman and his son Khalid, and with the cadet branches on the fringes of power, it was left for the elder sons of the late King Abd al-Aziz to contend among themselves for leadership of the third Saudi state. Any challenge to Ibn Saud's line from a collateral branch of the family was now unthinkable, and seniority should have made future successions a simple matter. However, the seniority principle had never been fully respected in the past, and any aspirant to the amirate, despite the advantages of having been groomed for the role since birth, still needed to rely on the support of key family members, the religious establishment, technocrats, and tribal and regional leaders.
Some candidates, such as Nasir bin Abd al-Aziz, were deemed unsuitable for succession by the larger family. In Nasir's case, his involvement in scandal (the death of several drinking companions at an illegal drinking party) doomed his chances, but his lack of accomplishment and low birth (a theme which will appear later) were also factors considered. The unstable Musa'id bin Abd al-Aziz, who on the basis of seniority alone could have mounted a challenge to the throne, was also passed over. The actions of his son Faysal bin Musa'id (the assassin of King Faysal) put an end to whatever political ambitions he may have had. Other princes, such as Sa'd bin Abd al-Aziz, had taken no part in public life, and demonstrating no interest in such a role, voluntarily renounced their right.
The case of Mansur bin Abd al-Aziz is more significant, as an illustration of how a rising star might attempt to bypass the usual mechanisms. Mansur was the son of Shahida, a favorite concubine of the king, but despite this he seems to have been held in high favor. His career was fast-tracked, and he held a succession of important posts including the Minister of Defense portfolio (which he was given at age 22). There was alarm, however, when it was rumored that he was forming a special military unit loyal to him alone, leading to fears that he planned to mount a challenge to the succession. Undeniably capable, and with broad experience, he could have mounted a legitimate challenge, had not an early death put an end to his ambitions.
When King Saud was in power, there was an attempt to promote the interests of his own sons, which was so blatant (even for a society in which nepotism is considered the norm), that the family began to see Saud's maneuverings as an attempt to create an alternate line of succession. Saud's sons benefitted from his patronage and secured important posts well beyond their years and experience (Khalid bin Saud was given the post of Commander of the National Guard at age 17). It was thought (undoubtably with good reason) that Saud was attempting to pass the succession to his own line, which only added to the alarm the family felt over Saud's policies.
In the end, Saud was removed from power, though not without a major, and very public, struggle. Saud's sons were removed from their sinecures, and it is only very recently that his descendants have been brought back into the fold, such was the upheaval the episode caused. The consequent embarrassment meant that the family was more determined than ever to resolve their differences in private.
The lesson was that the reign of Saud had not acquired nearly enough momentum, nor did he have sufficient prestige, to allow for the passing of the throne to his descendants, and create a new line of succession. As yet, family power was diffuse enough, and its family elders (including those from collateral branches) influential enough to prevent this from happening. At the time of Saud's successors, Faysal and Khalid, the possibility of dissent still restrained the family's choice of a successor. Whether this is still the case will be explored later.

Today is a good day. It's a good day for lots of reasons (nice blue sky, birds are singing, I'm feeling unusually productive and a lunchtime catch up with Dawn is on the cards) but I'm especially excited because this here blogger is in the newest issue of U Magazine! *faints*
The Fashion Diary was the product of a lot of thought and consideration and couldn't have happened without my friends Alan, Hayret and Jo, who took the pictures. Thanks guys. You're the best.
I was quite nervous at the prospect of having ten pictures taken of me, especially pictures showcasing my style. There are lots of reasons.
- I work from home and anyone who does that knows that the typical work uniform is a pair of pajamas covered in crumbs/an old t-shirt and sleep shorts/boyfriend's huge ratty Spurs jersey and baggy leggings with hole in the crotch. Not exactly magazine material (not the kind of magazine I'd want to read anyway)
- I'm not a personal style blogger. I would like to be, but the last time I did an outfit post, I recieved a comment telling me that I 'ruined all fashion'. Don't get me wrong, I don't think I'm a gorgon or anything, but when I do an outfit post, I want to do a really, really good one – so that comment knocked me a little bit (I know that's pretty pathetic, I'm not asking for sympathy nor do I actually think that I ruin all fashion).
- I don't think I'm very photogenic. This is tied up into point 2.
- Before I started taking photos, I couldn't really sum up what my style was in a couple of sentences. I like all sorts of things. I like suits. I like vintage. I like black. I love bright colours. I love crochets and knits and leather trousers and Missoni type patterns and geometric shapes and leopard print and tweed and stripes and polka dots and crisp white shirts and PVC and lace-up ankle boots. I love Audrey Hepburn and Anna Piaggi equally, even though their styles couldn't be more opposed. It was hard to pin a common thread down, which made picking outfits very difficult.
But I finally came to a conclusion about my personal style, which has been two decades in the making. I like (deep breath) – classic pieces with a twist. I also love mixing up colours and textures. GROUND-BREAKING STUFF.
Seriously though, I can't believe that it took me so long just to think of that. Typical.
I think I might start doing regular outfit posts from now on. What do you think? Good idea? Bad idea?
Major thanks to Aisling and Deanna at U for having me. You guys…

The food is consistently good here, not amazing but very good. And the prices are very reasonable, especially the family pack for take-out.
The food is OK but not the best around. Restaurant is a large open (read loud) room with no atmosphere at all. I go back hoping it will improve but sadly it stays just OK.
Have been here a few times, and never disappointed in the food, great cod, chips were great tasting too, and staff were pleased to get a compliment as we left.
We have driven by this restaurant a number of times, even though it is a bit out of the way - but finally decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is quite large, and strangely enough I felt the tables were TOO far apart to create any real atmosphere.. We were there at lunch time and it was...
We went there to-day after a 3 week diet plan. Their fish and seafood are by far the best i have tasted in a long time. We usually visit there every week or two and have never been disappointed.
The ambiance is not great but the fish is fresh and tasty. I can highly recommend C-lovers to any one who...
I was in Vernon on business and saw this Fish and Chip shop near my motel. When I went in it was clean and the kitchen is open for you to see them prepare the food. I always like this, it gives me more confidence in the cleanliness and preparation.
I ordered Halibut and chips. The portions are generous. The...
We live in Salmon Arm and often times when we go to Vernon for shopping we have lunch here. We usually have the halibut but find in can sometimes be dry... the haddock was awesome the other day... very moist... deep fried mushrooms...sooooo good and the pickles were delightful! Super tangy. Not a "good for you" meal.. but a once...
The fish is always good. Fries are always...like fries... This place is good for a fish and chip fest but not a restaurant that I would ever go to for any other meal.
Best chicken strips in town!
Atmosphere isn't great diner style
And seems a little run down but the foods good and to over priced
The portion sizes are good!
I returned to this previously much appreciated fish and chips cafe with so much anticipation. Alas, as with many restaurants, the experience was less than satisfying. The fries were dry and reheated, the shrimp tasted off, the oysters too small, really gritty and strange tasting, cod was just ok. When I went to the serving window to ask about the...

The Harrison County Fiscal Court allocated $500 toward installing a flush fire hydrant near Harrison Estates.
Charlene Craycraft and Patti Clapp have been trying to raise money to install the hydrant on the Harrison County Water Association line which runs along Wornall Lane.
Currently, we dont have any fire protection in Harrison Estates other than what the fire trucks can carry, Clapp said. So quick as a mobile home or trailer burns, by the time they have to leave the area to refill their tanks and come back, its already gone.

Cindy Franklin, who coordinates the librarys adult programming, said the whole idea is to stretch the librarys reach.
We are just really trying to make something in the community for every age group, Franklin said. And have something, at least one event, every month, for every age group.
She and Jenny Hyatt, of childrens programming, have been hard at work planning a fall schedule which they hope will draw in the crowds.
