This review is from: MOTOROLA SB6141 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet (RJ-45)
Pros: Small. Slick looking. WORKS and destroys Comcast's horrible modem/router combo.
Cons: Bright LEDs at night. Just use black electrical tape or something if it bothers you.
Other Thoughts: My Comcast modem/router combo they rent out for $7/mo was horrible. Super limited in configuration and my ping would spike a lot; from 60 to 1000ms sometimes.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MSI X79A-GD45 Plus LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: My first impression of this board is the black PCB board. Not many have black PCBs, so it's a nice feature. Some like ASrock boards have a dark brown, so seeing something like this color scheme is nice, especially when you invest into the appearance of your computer.
One of the most notable pros of this motherboard is the fact that it supports up to 128GB of RAM. Only two x79 motherboards do this and both are MSI brands. This is one reason why I call it a niche x79.
Along with the large RAM capacity, is the price. It's what I'd expect for the features. Right now there are only 3 other motherboards that are cheaper and provide similar features, however, none give you this amount of RAM ability. So if you need this much RAM now or in the future, you aren't paying a huge premium.
A lot of ports, however it's not only good but for now I'll list the pros of them. First off, there are eight USB ports, six 2.0, two 3.0. Not sure if this is a limitation of the chipset or what, but only two USB 3.0 ports is a bit low for this high end of a board. However, you do have the onboard USB 3.0 expansion option for your case. So you're not too limited and still have a couple onboard ports.
Continuing with ports, it lacks in SATA 3. Only two onboard SATA 3 ports vs four SATA 2. I don't think this is a limitation of some kind, as the ASrock ASRock X79 Extreme6 has five of them. Not a huge issue, as only SSDs are going to use the ports properly and there are issues with RAIDing SSDs. Just something to be aware of if you were wanting to RAID a few SSDs. The number of SATA ports will be fine otherwise.
Within the packaging is a slew of SATA 3 cables with right angles! Very nice. You get six total and are fairly long. They are white/black.
The SLI bridge is VERY long and not hard.
A fairly good sound card. Much better than standard onboard.
Lastly, my FAVORITE feature is the fact that it includes an m-block connector. This, if you haven't seen one before, is a tiny block that you plug in your power switch, HDD LED indicators, ect into rather than one by one into your motherboard. I HATE NOT HAVING ONE. This alone would have sold me on this motherboard. No more struggling to see if you plugged it in right or trying to get light into the corner of case.
Cons: Now onto the cons.
Only two SATA 3 and USB 3 ports each. As someone who has a lot of hard drives and externals this was a bummer.
Another minor flaw is overclocking. I didn't find it hard to overclock at all on this motherboard. Has all the settings you need for decent overclocks. This isn't some extreme motherboard meant for nitro cooling or high end water cooling overclocking. However saying this, I'm not sure why it doesn't have more technical options. Oh well.
At most those two cons are worth .5 eggs, so I'll mark off an egg. Mainly, because this isn't a perfect board, so how can I give it a 5/5?
Other Thoughts: This board is not targeted for gamers, although it can, but the features on this board indicate a more specific demographic. The 128GB of RAM seems more for VMWARE, servers, and other known RAM intense applications. The 2011 CPUs are also more targeted at this type of usage. So this shouldn't surprise anyone.
If you're looking for a motherboard for more serious, work conditions and you need lots of RAM ability, this is it. Even gamers who dabble with hobbies should find this a great motherboard as well. It does not limit you.
I suppose one con is the price, however this has nothing to do with the motherboard itself, rather the competition and the majority of buyers. So I'll include this here rather than the con section.
Overall, know what you're getting yourself into. This isn't some extreme high end gaming motherboard. It can game, but this isn't the true function. It comes off to me more as a workstation motherboard with the option for gaming.
So I give this motherboard: 4.5/5 eggs.
This review is from: NETGEAR WNR1500-100NAS N300 Wireless Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g/n
Pros: One of the better sides to this router is the price. It's about $50-30 if on sale. The router itself is fairly basic, but does have some good features. The antennas are detachable and upgrade able if needed. This feature isn't even found in some $200 routers, so good value there. There's also the NETGEAR GENIE® APP for Android and iTunes. That works fairly well and is a bonus even if you don't use it.
It's external look is fairly minimalistic; nothing flashy.
Cons: Signal strength is probably the most notable weakness to the router, but it's a $50 router. It performs about the same as you would expect it to. However, you can upgrade the antennas later.
Another downside to the router is that there is no USB support. This means you can't use a flash drive or portable hard drive.
Finally, it doesn't support 3rd party firmware yet. Would be nice if it was available, since it does allow for antenna upgrades. This would made for a nice, cheap hackable router.
Other Thoughts: The router is pretty decent overall and it's price reflects what it can do. I transferred GBs of data over the wifi network and I saw no problems. All speeds were typical.
If you have a small to medium sized house this is perfect. The signal strength is strong enough for a family unity.
Overall, I found that the router was more than enough for several computers, consoles, wifi printers, and streaming Netflix.
Would recommend for people looking for a router to provide wireless access for a fair price. It's also a nice project router due to the upgradeable antenna.

The first phase of the project also includes widening a section of Brimbal Avenue from two lanes to four lanes. Roundabouts will be installed where the new connector road intersects with Sohier Road and Brimbal Avenue, and traffic lights will be installed at the intersection of Brimbal Avenue and Herrick Street Extension.
Pam Kampersal of the Norwood Pond Coalition said the group is "very disappointed" by Sullivan's decision to waive the environmental study.
"We feel he made a precedent-setting decision that might eliminate future (Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act) regulations to be followed in similar infrastructure projects," Kampersal wrote in an email.
Kampersal said the environmental study should be done now because there are "clear linkages" between the first and second phases of the project.
The second phase involves building a bridge over Route 128 between Brimbal Avenue and Dunham Road, among other traffic improvements to the area. Scanlon has said the plan will open up acres of land on both sides of the highway to development, creating jobs and generating tax revenue for the city.
That phase, which is expected to cost around $20 million, will have a larger environmental impact and will require an Environmental Impact Report.
Sullivan, in his ruling, said the first phase can be considered as a separate project because the second phase "will not occur in the foreseeable future."

Hi: 19° Lo:8°
By Beth Sharp Thursday 07 November 2013 Updated: 07/11 17:14
RESIDENTS raised their glasses to celebrate the restoration of the John Adams Memorial at Bromsgrove Cemetery last Friday (November 1).
Everyone who had a hand in the scheme was invited to be thanked for their contributions and to see the planting of a commemorative Golden Dawyck Beech by Jennie McGregor-Smith and Bromsgrove Civic Head, Coun Helen Jones.
To celebrate the achievement further, a gathering was also arranged at St John's Parish Hall with a special buffet made by Avoncroft Museum and paid for by the John Adams Memorial Restoration Group.
A special thanks was also given to leading campaigner Jennie McGregor-Smith for her determination and perseverances seeing the project through.
The carved monument which is based on high Victorian designs and made from four different coloured stones can be seen from the cemetery's main gate entrance and has now become an important focal point.
The restoration of the memorial started in 2011 after it was taken down in 2007 for safety reasons.
It was thanks to the work of the Avoncroft Museum of Buildings, The Bromsgrove Society, The Housman Society, The Victorian Society and Bromsgrove District Council. It was funded through a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund which was combine with donations from Giles Trust, Edward and Dorothy Cadbury Trust, Bromsgrove Court Leet and many other individuals. The project was finished in May this year by Croft Ltd.
A representative from the John Adams Memorial Restoration Group said: "The cemetery is a quiet and beautiful oasis with wonderful trees.
"We hope this will raise more appreciation of the Cemetery in Bromsgrove."
Coun Jones said: "I'm really pleased to see John Adams back where he belongs."

Did the press do a fair job on covering Obama's tax deal compromise? What does the tax deal really mean for America?

Will the tax deal result in Keynes-style stimulus? Washington Editor Christopher Hayes and Tyler Cowen, an economics professor at George Mason University, break down Keynesianism and what it says about Obama's tax cuts deal.
The payroll tax cut sounds attractive, but the consequences could prove deadly for the federal government's most popular program.
Republicans have spent their postelection victory lap fearmongering over the deficit. But now they've insisted all Bush tax cuts be extended, at great price to the national debt.
Obama got the Republicans to agree to an extension of unemployment insurance and a tax credit for low-income workers. As a progressive economist, I'm defending his deal.
Everyone knows that Obama wants to whack Social Security benefits to lure Republicans into a deal on raising taxes. In that case, keep Alan Simpson on the commission on reducing the federal deficit—his tasteless zingers are doing more harm than good.

Transcript: Eddie Mair grills Boris Johnson on the Andrew Marr Show
24 March 2013 12:02 PM
Boris Johnson looked profoundly uncomfortable on this morning's Andrew Marr Show as stand-in host Eddie Mair grilled the Mayor of London on matters of personal integrity. Here's a transcript of one particularly bruising encounter:
EM: The Times let you go after you made up a quote. Why did you make up a quote?"
BJ: Well, erm, this, again, these are, these are big terms...what happened was, I can tell you the whole thing. Are you sure our viewers don't want to hear about? -
EM: If you don't want to talk about the made-up quote-
BJ: It was a long and lamentable story
EM: But you made a quote up-
BJ: What happened was I ascribed events that were supposed to have taken place before the death of Piers Gaveston to events that actually took place after the death of Piers Gaveston
EM: Yes, you made something up-
BJ: I mildly sandpapered something somebody had said and yes it was very embarrassing and I'm very sorry for it.
EM: Let me ask you about a barefaced lie. When you were in Michael Howard's team you denied to him you were having an affair, it turned out you were and he sacked you for that. Why did you lie to your party leader?
BJ: Again, on that I never had any conversation with Michael Howard about that matter
EM: You did lie-
BJ: I don't propose to go into all that again
EM: I don't blame you
BJ: I've been through that question a lot, watch the documentary, why don't we talk about something else?
EM: Well, this is about your integrity
[Mair questions Johnson on a phone conversation in which the Mayor of London gave the address of a journalist to his friend Darius Guppy, so that Guppy could have that journalist beaten up]
EM: What does that say about you Boris Johnson? Aren't you in fact making up quotes, lying to your party leader, wanting to be part of someone being physically assaulted...you're a nasty piece of work, aren't you?
BJ: All three things I would dispute
EM: You don't factually dispute them?
BJ: Well I do, if we had a long time I could explain that all three interpretations you're putting on those things aren't wholly fair.
EM: Even Conrad Black, your friend, a convicted fraudster, says he doesn't trust you completely...
BJ: I hadn't seen that Conrad had said that, but nonetheless I've got a great admiration for Conrad. He's a great journalist...


text: Hey everyone! On Friday night I was on the bus back to the hotel with Oksana Grishina and her husband. I let her know that so many people have been pulling for her and that her placing this weekend meant a lot to all of her fans. I told her about how so many of you have felt her placing was a long time coming. Oksana actually got pretty choked up when I told her this. She's not on the boards, so she really doesn't get to hear that a lot. She said "tell them I love them and I do this all for them". So that's that, in Oksana's words.

Five world markets worth avid exploration
Sitting in the back of this Newport dining destination are all the necessary items needed to prepare your own Mexican feast: dried shrimp and chili powders for soup; a mixture of both pickled and fresh vegetables; whole chickens, fish, and beef fillets; and of course, fresh baked churros—though chances are those little guys won't survive the car ride home. 642 Monmouth St., Newport, (859) 261-6112)
One of the city's few (if not only) places to pick up traditional African foods and ingredients, such as koobi, palmnut cream, guava juice, and peanut paste from Senegal. You can even buy authentic African rugs. 4158 Hamilton Ave., Northside, (513) 681-6321
Your one-stop shop for every Eastern European culinary need. Choose from 50 different meats—including headcheese and liver sausage—and at least 10 variations of cheese—such as Havarti, Podlaski, and feta. 11426 Montgomery Rd., Sharonville, (513) 469-6100
The Japanese goods range from edible delicacies to native entertainment. Aside from the fresh eel, tobiko, and udon noodles, you can also rent a movie from the collection of un-translated Japanese flicks to unwind after dinner. Use the English subtitles, if you must. 10738 Reading Rd., Sharonville, (513) 563-5990
This market features everything from the standard dinner fare (lamb, chicken, and goat kebabs) to the standard hair care products (coconut hair oil). You can also pick up fresh paneer cheese, loki, and mathri. 356 Ludlow Ave., Clifton, (513) 961-2699

Goffstown school goes into lockdown
GOFFSTOWN - An armed man who barricaded himself inside his home about 150 yards from Maple Avenue Elementary caused a lockdown at the school Wednesday, police said.
"We didn't like to have to do it, but we wanted to make sure the kids were safe," Capt. Robert Browne said.
Lucien Masson, 46, had access to weapons and was suicidal, police said. Because of his 27 Elm St. home abuts the school parking lot, the decision was made around noon to go into lockdown "in case it was a situation that got sour," Browne said.
Masson eventually surrendered and came out of the residence on his own. He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest and is being held on $5,000 cash bail.
In a letter sent to parents, Principal Suzanne Pyszka said the school went into a "shelter in place" at the request of the Goffstown Police Department.
Students were allowed to move within the building, but remained in their homerooms. Maple Avenue is one of two elementary schools in Goffstown; it has 460 first- through fourth-graders.
Pyszka said she kept in touch with classrooms over the school PA system throughout the incident. Once the emergency was lifted, regular school operations resumed.
"The children and staff were active responders during this emergency process and I am very proud of them," Pyszka said.
Fourth-graders, who normally attend class in portable classrooms outside of the building, were brought inside until the lockdown was over.
Dian McCarthy, whose son is a fourth-grader, said she is glad that the school holds drills to prepare children for such situations.
"I do think the school handled it as best as they absolutely could," she said.
McCarthy said lockdowns for elementary-age students are an unfortunate sign of the times.
"I know it's a reality of the age we live in, and yet it saddens me to no end that our children have to practice hiding," she said.
Though the incident was likely scary for some children, McCarthy said she approved of the measures taken.
"I'd rather err on the side of caution and keep our kids safe," she said.
One parent, who asked not to be named, said she learned about the incident on Facebook and was troubled that she didn't receive an email or a phone call from the school during or after the incident.
Parent Michelle Rouillard said she would have preferred an email or a phone call as opposed to the letter that came home in her child's backpack after school. But she said she realized that the staff was busy shepherding children to safety.
"It's also fairly realistic to think there would have been a mass of people showing up at the school if a phone call went out, and that wouldn't have been safe for anybody," Rouillard said. "But an email notifying us of what happened would have been nice."
Browne said that a call came in to the police department around 11:33 a.m. from a family member of Masson. He had barricaded himself in his house.
He said alcohol appeared to have played a "significant part" in the incident. Browne said all firearms have been removed from the house.

Cisco and NetApp on Thursday announced an expanded partnership to deliver new converged infrastructure innovation to unify branch office, data center and public cloud infrastructures under the FlexPod architecture. The partnership expansion includes efforts in technology integration, solution development, and continued go-to-market collaboration -- all designed to make it easier for customers to deploy and access next-generation cloud infrastructure solutions.
Current IT architectures comprise a fragmented combination of infrastructure along with public, private and hybrid clouds offered by different organizations and addressing distinct customer needs. Through a shared vision of a unified data center, Cisco and NetApp offer the ability to simplify deployment, management and orchestration -- connecting enterprise clouds to service providers, enterprises to branch offices, consumers to enterprises, and clouds to clouds.
Deeper integration across computing, networking, storage and orchestration components of FlexPod, combined with broader support for its open ecosystem of partners, will greatly simplify data center deployment and management, deliver greater budget efficiency, reduce risk, and increase agile business responsiveness.
Cisco and NetApp now boast more than 2,100 FlexPod customers across more than 35 countries and over 700 channel partners. Cisco and NetApp are building on this momentum by expanding their successful decade-long partnership to deliver greater innovation.
Deeper FlexPod Architecture Integration: Cisco and NetApp are forging deeper integration across Cisco(R) Unified Data Center solutions, NetApp FAS Storage Systems, and FlexPod ecosystem technology partners to create a common foundation for data centers and service providers, from branch office implementations to cloud-scale, multi-data center deployments.
FlexPod solutions will provide the ability to manage up to 10,000 servers, allowing organizations to aggregate several FlexPod racks and enable multihop Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCOE). These solutions, tuned for service providers and distributed enterprises, enable infrastructures to be scaled with predictive performance and support.
FlexPod continues to lead on the integration of infrastructure management tools and will support Cisco UCS(R) Manager 2.1, UCS Central and Cisco's recently acquired Cloupia products. In addition, support for Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud (Cisco IAC) allows cloud management solutions for FlexPod customers. Deeper integration across FlexPod at the platform level, as opposed to at the component level, will enable FlexPod to be seamlessly orchestrated by partner solutions, including Microsoft System Center and Citrix CloudPlatform powered by Apache CloudStack
Cisco and NetApp will also integrate Flash technologies at the host and storage levels, to accelerate performance across all areas of theconverged infrastructure. At the server level, applications running on Flash-optimized Cisco Unified Computing System(TM) (Cisco UCS)servers can be further accelerated with NetApp Flash Accel, while at the controller and array levels, technologies such as NetApp Flash Cache and Flash Pools can be used to access cached data faster.
FlexPod for Cloud Service Providers: To accelerate momentum in the service provider market Cisco and NetApp are developing flexible, massively scalable FlexPod solutions capable of handling multi-data-center service provider architectures. The set of solutions will bring together NetApp Clustered ONTAP(TM) and NetApp FAS storage systems with Cisco UCS servers and Cisco Nexus(R) 7000 Series Switches to create dynamically provisioned pools of server, storage and network resources that can be scaled up and scaled down by service providers depending on application requirements. These solutions will use Cisco's Virtualized Multiservice Data Center (VMDC) architecture and will include management and orchestration solutions from Cisco and from ecosystem partners such as BMC Software and, in the future, from open source providers.
Branch Office Solution: Cisco and NetApp are partnering to extend the capabilities of ExpressPod to meet the compute, network and storage needs of branch offices. ExpressPod shares a similar converged infrastructure approach as FlexPod, and as a result, it is ideally suited to branch office deployments with an easy upgrade path to FlexPod as the needs of the branch grow. This easy-to-deploy architecture can be configured to offer greater interoperability with the core organizational data center, enabling branch locations to take advantage of some of the biggest cost-saving trends in IT, such as virtualization and cloud computing. ExpressPod includes support for VMware vSphere(R) and will soon include support for Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V.
FlexPod Application Validation: Cisco and NetApp are expanding solution coverage to add more mission-critical applications and private cloud solutions for the datacenter. Mission critical solutions include Oracle Database and applications, SAP(R) BusinessObjects(TM) business intelligence and the SAP HANA(R) platform, and private cloud offerings include Microsoft private cloud and Citrix Cloud Platform.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Has a huge thing for tragedies.
Posts mostly queued. May be prone to spontaneous bursts of energy, constant worrying, or general weirdness. Also apologises for excessive swearing, conceited opinions, exaggerated rants, intimidation, spoilers, and/or sexual inclinations.

Well ok Kesha, maybe it's because you're an auto tuned peice of shit who shouldn't be famous, you have no Buisness being in the music industry, it's not even your music you fuck, someone else wrote it for you to record and them to auto tune yourself. And it's not at all good . It's not positive either. So complain some more.
I don't know if you know this, tumblr user koolkidseatgreens, but Ke$ha is a certified genius. She has an IQ over 140 and an SAT score of 1500. When she was younger she would go to the library and do research for fun. Ke$ha is a both feminist and an advocate for equal marriage/rights for people of any sexuality, being a queer woman herself.
Ke$ha is a smart, professional woman, and just because she sings songs about wanting to let loose and have fun every once in a while doesn't make her a piece of shit.
Ke$ha's songs are meant to point out the sexism in our media. She treats men the same way many men in the music industry treat women, and she is hated on for it. Relentlessly. She sings on multiple occasions about taking charge in a sexual relationship, of how she only uses men for their body parts. She sexualizes men to make them uncomfortable. She sexualizes men for a reaction, so that people can both see why women are so uncomfortable with their sexualization and also to point out the inequality between the sexes both in the media and in the world at large.
She is judged so harshly for singing about things that make many men famous.
If you listen to Ke$ha's deconstructed album you will see that she actually has some talent, which may be hard to hear because she does in fact use a fair amount of autotune. This is because of her genre and because of the kind of music she chooses to create as an artist. Ke$ha may not write her songs, but this doesn't meant she isn't a good artist or a good person. This doesn't mean she deserves your harsh words. Some singers are good at writing, but that's hardly a requirement. Last time I checked whether or not you can sing has nothing to do with whether or not you're a poet.
You should not be calling anyone a piece of shit, my friend, especially someone you've never sat down and had a conversation (or even taken the time to wonder about her feelings!), but if anyone deserves that kind of language it's not Ke$ha.
You may think that by shaming women for expressing their sexuality and having fun every once in a while, that you are somehow abolishing sexism. That in weeding out the less 'deserving' women you are gaining our sex more respect. This is not the case, and the fact that you and many others feel such a strong need to shame this woman who has done nothing wrong, especially not to you, shows that we still have a very far way to go.
I would reblog this a thousand times over
also Ke$ha was a song writer for britney spears

Yosh! Okay! Here we go xD
1) Typically it will be centred on one character, it's gonna put them in a situation that really challenges their calm mentalities, they'll probably realise something as they go through snippets of moments through time, they'll find…comfort? understanding? something?…in another character (typically someone I want to ship them with hehe but I kinda suck at downright romance so usually deep friendship), the character is pushed towards understanding something, and either content end or shit happens
6) I'll give two: Romance and Humour. Now I say romance because I just do not have the balls within me to have any character say "I like you/I love you/sex scenes/etc" even though I read too much of it haha, and humour…because…hngh…I've fucked so many humour fics the only times I would write humour is for someone's birthday for laughs because birthdays and I have this one friend who writes tragedies for birthdays and romance otherwise and I'm his opposite and it's how we roll xD
20) No internet. Complete isolation from the internet aka usually out of town during the vacation itself which is so bad because I get in trouble so much for doing that. So, anywhere where I'm forced to stay away from the internet.
27) Wahhhh!!! Collabs are so fun; lemme tell you, I've done one shot collabs with people before, but then there's this one time my friend and I wrote line to line with each other for this thing on google docs the one time, so fun watching him type at the same time I did, so weird haha
