41 yr old, oily/combo olive skin. After seeing people rave on YouTube about it I bought some. It smells amazing but I haven't noticed any difference in my skin for the past 3 weeks. Does last a long time and removes face make up well, haven't tried on eyes yet. My skin isn't sensitive so can't say how it would be for that but hasn't decreased or increased oil and I live in central Georgia where it's beginning to get humid. Not bad but not holy grail either.
Everyone has different skin types. To be honest, this cleanser will not work for you if you have dry/dehydrated skin as it will dry your skin out, not when you first use it but using it continuously will. This happened to me. I was using Cetaphil for about 1-2 years now and decided to change my cleanser, as I felt Cetaphil wasn't doing enough. This cleanser worked for me the first time after i used it but after using it day & night, it dried my skin out and caused tiny white heads to grow on my nose and other parts of my face. I thought this would work for me, since it mentioned that it was 'suitable for acne-prone skin' & 'genle' as well as 'natural', just what I needed. However, it didn't work for me at all. I will definitely recommend it to oily/acne-prone skin as it will give your face a healthy glow and will do just right for oily skin. Do not use this if you have very dry/sensitive skin. The scent is pretty unpleasant for me, but it might be pleasant for others. :)
I really like this cleanser. I am 32 with combination skin, and this cleanser does a better job of removing all of my makeup than many other cleansers, and doesnt break me out. I dont feel like its too harsh or drying but I also apply moisturizer every evening. Gets the job done and is cheap at $6-7 per bottle. Would re-purchase.

I can understand why some people would find this face wash bothersome. I however have been lucky with it so far. I dare say I really like it. It does have a slight drying effect, but my oily skin doesn't mind too much. It also does have (on me) the tiniest burning sensation, but that subsides after I thoroughly rinse it off. For reference, when it comes to skin sensitivity, mine is normal. Some products can aggravate, but most don't. It lathers well and rinses clean. Sometimes I'll just use this on the blemishes on my cheeks and jawline if I feel like my skin is going to be dry that day. Overall, I've not had a negative experience with this cleanser and will continue to use it for some time.
Also, I use Dove bar soap with this cleanser (Dove to remove make-up, this cleanser to cleanse and treat skin), so maybe that's why it hasn't been super bothersome,
I didn't like this at first because it does leave the skin feeling dry. I have dry skin so I tried all these other creamier "moisturizing" face washes for a while then couple years later decided to re-visit this stuff. Now I LOVE it! I have dry skin and I've come to realize a "moisturizing" face wash isn't going to help moisturize me , that's what lotions are for! Face wash should cleanse & remove dirt and bacteria. This stuff does the trick! It's so clarifying It makes my skin feel so much cleaner and purified as it claims. So far I think it's best to just use it at night & no need to wash in the morning. It does not dry out my skin. I have used it both morning and night and I didn't find it irritating. My skin is semi-sensitive and dry to very dry w/ very few pimples. I was getting random pimples here and there which is what prompted me to re-visit this, because i had it laying around and my current stuff (CeraVe) obvi wasn't working anymore. Its been about a month using this and I haven't had any pimples! I should note this is an old bottle I had laying around from maybe two years ago and I find it still great despite how old it is. I am not sure if there has been any changes in formula. I will re-purchase and update if I notice any difference in formula.

Smells like poison. Burns like fire.
Burns and dries out skin. Not good for sensitive and/or dry skin.
Do not use near your eyes as it will sting a lot.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been using this product now for a few days and i am pleased with it! i was nervous at first because the reviews weren't all that great. I love the packaging first of all and the smell is wonderful! Feels clean and lovely! I will post an update after about a month
The package got me to buy it but to be honest its not all that great, my skins pretty neutral unless you set it off and this set it off and dried my skin out heaps. I'd normally use a face wash twice a day but with this i could only do it once and it would be dry at the start and oily by the end. if you have oily skin stay away as it drys your skin out so much that it over produces oil. This is not terrible but i wouldn't buy again as there is better out there.
LOVE this! Subtle smell, great thick gel texture, and, most importantly, it gets my sensitive skin super clean without driving it nuts. Face is soft, clean and well behaved for the rest of the day.
Slightly temperamental pump dispenser is a minor downside, but the reasonable price, and economical nature of this product (a little goes a long way) pull it back up.
I'll be sticking with this one for the foreseeable...

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., leads former Republican Rep. Pete Hoekstra, by 12 points in a new NBC News/Marist poll of the Michigan Senate race.
Stabenow leads Hoekstra, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, 49 percent to 37 percent in the survey. Fourteen percent are undecided.
While Stabenow's margin over Hoekstra is in the double digits, it is down a bit from a February NBC News/Marist poll showing the senator leading 53 percent to 32 percent.

Beware the Dragons! Transform Your Kid's Room Into a Knight's Retreat!
By mommaowls on August 01, 2013
Featured Member Post
My younger son has always been fascinated by castles, dragons and knights. Last year, we redecorated his bedroom to fit this theme. Lucky for me, he already had some great decor for the room -- his castle, dragon and knight collection!
The former style of his room was a cabin-style room with a bear theme. We kept the cabin look on the wall, mainly because Mommy didn't want to repaint…but I thought it kept a rustic feel to the room even with the new decor.
Image courtesy the author.
In the picture below, you'll see the wall decals we used: RoomMates RMK1267SCS Dragon Hunter Peel & Stick Wall Decals. I found these at
I purchased the dragon/knight quilt from Amazon too, but unfortunately they no longer make it. It was originally made by Tiddliwinks and was sold at Target. Amazon does have a pillow sham for sale; you could use that with a plain colored comforter. If you can find it on Ebay or somewhere, I'd highly recommend it. It is very good quality and was not cheaply made. My son loves the designs on top, and it is very warm and cozy. Plus it gives you many colors to work with when you are decorating the rest of the room. We already had a brown bedskirt, so we kept that.
I also put a "castle" canopy over the bed. I had originally used this canopy outdoors with linen fabric and a blue top, and I got the idea from Family Fun magazine. I used a silver shiny fabric with a black felt top, cut in a square castle pattern.
To hold back the canopy, I used clothespins and hot glued a mini dragon to the top. I think I found these at Michael's in those tubes of animals.
We placed his knight's costume out for display, still easily accessible for play!
My son also loves to do craft projects. He had already made these cardboard shields and little sword, so I hung them up as decorations. He also has several castles, so it made a great decoration as well. Whenever he wants to play with it, we take it down.
Around the room, we placed his collection of dragons and knights. He had collected many of the Imagninext dragons so they were perfect for his room!

Captain Trips: A Biography of Jerry Garcia is a tremendously insightful book about the story of Jerry Garcia. It depicts the life, work, and views of this famous musician. Much of the information came straight from the source, Garcia himself, through old interviews. It also includes interviews with his bandmates, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, along with many of his family and friends.
The book lets the reader see the real Jerry Garcia: husband, father, friend, and, above all, musician. Captain Trips reveals in detail the step-by-step progression of Jerry's music from his first electric guitar at 15, his days in various jug and folk bands, and onto The Grateful Dead. The book documents Garcia's devotion to his music. Sometimes, Garcia would play or practice eight hours a day! Not only does Captain Trips show the evolution of The Dead, but Garcia's other bands including The Garcia Acoustic Band and The Jerry Garcia Band. It also tells about his collaborations with other musicians.
This book depicts not only Garcia's triumphs but also his tragedies. The death of his father, mother, and three of his bandmates, two from chemical dependency and one because of a car crash, all of which had a profound effect on Garcia.
Throughout the ups and downs of Garcia's life, he always remained true to his music and to the Haight Asbury philosophy that love is better than hate, peace is better than war, and to share the music he created with as many people as possible.
Sandy Troy is also the author of One More Saturday Night, a biography of The Grateful Dead. .
This piece has been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

Waldorf Microwave XT
The Microwave XT is a great big orange polyphonic rackmount synthesizer. While combining the power of the Wave and the compact design of Waldorf's Microwave II, the XT adds a bit of knob-laden heaven. At first glance the top section completely resembles the 2-space rackmount version of the Microwave II. And then there are three more rack-spaces full of knobs and lots of knobs means lots of control.
As far as enhancements, the XT model has 20-bit DSP functions but that's about it. Its true power and features lie in the 44 hands-on knobs which make editing in real-time quick, easy and perfect for performance and studio work. All of the knobs transmit MIDI information as well!
The Synthesizer engine is relatively the same as the Microwave II and Wave synths that came before it. Digital wavetable synthesis and FM synthesis in which there are 64 waves that are mixed and combined into new sounds. The Microwave XT can easily emulate the sounds of the PPG wavetable synths as well as create squelchy acid-303 lines or boomy Moog bass. Also onboard is a nice arpeggiator, digital effects and more. The Microwave XT is definitely a powerful rackmount synth that can generate some highly unique and quality sounds. It is used by Nine Inch Nails, Danny Tenaglia, Underworld, Astral Projection, The Crystal Method, Mirwais, and Cirrus.

The XT was MADE and BEGGS to be tweaked, rather than a preset machine! Presets are simply great starting points for serious sound design! There's a reason and purpose for 44+ knobs and can hardly see having to go into a preset to change very simple parameters on a machine that's SO MUCH deeper than that as being a perceived negative. I know people that have owned XT from release that STILL are discovering new sonic possibilities and very often by happy "accidents". The mathmatic modifiers alone take the XT to alien soundscapes!
I do have a major issue , though: I would like to sync the LFO's to external midi clock and thiss can be done, but you have to change it manually for each and every preset. I wish there was a way to do this globally. And while we're at it: I'd like to turn those effects off globally too. They sound crap.

Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn's first night out together in the Big Apple didn't exactly go without a hitch. After walking the red carpet amid a sea of celebrities for the annual Costume Institute gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the talked-about couple headed downtown for a star-studded afterparty at the Boom Boom Room, held at the top of the Standard Hotel.
PHOTOS: Met Gala 2013 -- all the stars!
Looking stunning in a long white dress with high see-through slits in the front, the blond ski champ, 28, confidently steered her golfer beau, 37, through the formidable crowd. (Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Chris Brown, Solange Knowles and Kate Upton were just a few of the boldfaced attendees.)
PHOTOS: Revisit Tiger's sex scandal
"Tiger looked uncomfortable," an onlooker at the Boom Boom Room says. The twosome checked out the Manhattan skyline (with a tux-clad Woods embracing Vonn from behind) and then took their seats, where they chatted, drank, held hands and kissed for much the night. At one point in the evening, the once-divorced golfer got up to dance awkwardly, bopping from side to side and grabbing Vonn's butt affectionately as she giggled.
When it was time to go, around 2 a.m., a seemingly tipsy Woods fell while walking up a small flight of stairs -- and didn't move from the spot until Vonn, clenching her teeth and looking embarrassed, helped him up and guided him (swaying a bit as he walked) to the exit, according to a witness.
In their red-carpet debut as a couple, the pair attended the Met gala as guests of Vogue; the magazine dressed both of the athletes, who declined interviews with reporters on the carpet.
PHOTOS: Tiger and Elin, the way they were
"Lindsey and I have been friends for some time, but over the last few months we have become very close and are now dating," Woods wrote when he and Vonn announced their relationship via Facebook last March. He famously split from wife Elin Nordegren back in 2010 following an epic cheating scandal.

LOL, Agreed.
I'd have to admit, it would have been better to not have the bra on with all those bugs. They got stuck in some of the netting and took some effort to get out. They would have come right off the paint.
I just go bare on the road. I have a body shop that can respray for around $300, so I figures that's 3-4 sprays before I get the cost of a clear bra.
Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."

Great Natural Alternative
My daughter has been diagnosed with ADD and is very young. We were not ready to start her on any strong medications and started looking for more natural options. Im so glad we found Calm Child! It has made a huge difference for her she also loves the taste it gives her exactly what she needs. She is more focused and even helped with keeping tantrum meltdowns to a minimum. I have just noticed an all around positive change in her day to day activities. I will definitely be buying again and again.

The festival is expected to pump tens of thousands of dollars into downtown and businesses are preparing to rock it out themselves.
"We saw an immediate impact," says Eric Tuinstra, Peppino's franchise director. At his Ionia Street location, last year's first ever downtown concert series meant big sales. "I think we were 18 to 20 % a night above what we would typically do," says Tuinstra.
Tuinstra says they went from slow to slammed in seconds flat and during the shows, outdoor seating was full. "Our patio right on the corner here, you're not necessarily going to see the artist but you're going to hear them."
He says they are selling tickets for the event which increases daily lunch sales and the festival draws people back downtown after a summer away. "After a long summer, sales are typically slower for restaurants, especially in the downtown area for summer because people are typically out at the lake shore or wherever else and so they come down here for his event and it's kind of like our pre-fall kickoff."
The festival also raises funds for Grand Rapids Public Schools through a 50/50 raffle and the carnival ride proceeds benefit the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids.
Russ Ettinger: Executive Director Southeast region YMCA here in greater Grand Rapids, "We have a scholarship called the strong kids campaign and rock the rapids has chosen us to be one of their charities this year."
Also, this year the acts seem bigger than ever, and there is a lot of variety. Artists range from Shinedown and God Smack to huge country acts like Miranda Lambert and Toby Keith. Then, party goers can transition to R and B rap concerts later in the week, all in one festival.
"Friday night we'll make is soulful with boys to men and Bell Biv Devoe, and then the wicked
word play of B-O-B and Big Boi is coming Saturday night, It's going to be fun."" says Ian Barrie, Marketing Director. "It's all about diversity, bringing something down here for everyone. W e don't want six days of rock, or six days of classic. Nobody wants show tunes, so we're doing rock a little bit of country, hip hop and R and B.
Dan McCrath Co-founder of Blue Cap entertainment and Rock the Rapids says they like the downtown venue and will continue to try to host the concerts downtown, even if a proposed movie theatre is constructed at the site they are currently using.
"We would like to be committed to downtown. It's a great place for having a music festival, having the skyline of the city in the background of the festival is still our dream and we want to continue that," says McCrath.

This hotel definitely has an Asian aesthetic - sleek and full of elegant simplicity. the location is great, just steps from Union Square and all the shops. It's also not far from public transportation for when you want to head out for a less touristy atmosphere. The best part of the hotel though are the people manning the concierge desk. Most concierge desks seem to only tell you about main tourist destinations that you can read about anywhere and they always seemed rushed to help the next person. The concierges here took their time in talking to me and even provided information on things off the tourist track like the Alameda Flea market.

It's too bad that my experience with the Hotel Nikko has been limited (so far) to their Conference facilities of which my latest visit ended today. This is a nice Hotel and I think I've only scratched the surface of this place. The large ballroom facility was comfortable and with good acoustics and climate control. There was also a nice common area just outside the door for Exhibits. It also helped that the sponsors didn't skimp out on the Continental Breakfast, the Monday Lunch, and the Afternoon Snacks. My only regret is not wrapping some of it up and taking it home.
One of my running jokes with Gayle is the possibility that we should go "clubbing". A future overnight stay at the Nikko coupled with dinner at Anzu and a show at The Rrazz Room might be just the ticket......

The Nikko Hotel of San Francisco is one of the many upscale big hotels in downtown San Francisco, grouped around Union Square. Among other ones I have seen, I would say that this one has something more with a beautiful, streamlined look and japanese aesthetics. My room was spacious enough and had a majestuous bathroom, the view was blocked by the building in front though. The Nikko Hotel is situated on Mason street, just near the central Powell subway station but also near some Tenderloin creepy streets. The hotel as a nice restaurant (Anzu) and impressive amenities (swimming pool, spacious bar, grand piano among other things). I recommend this place.

Although we all wanted to make it as a professional athlete, a vast majority of us unfortunately never made it into the big leagues. However, with Hotel Nikko, at least we can still sort of travel like them! When away professional sports teams stop into town for a game, some of them stay at Hotel Nikko and it is easy to see why.
Upon entry I was really overwhelmed by how large and glamorous the lobby was. In fact, almost everything in this hotel was huge. The gym had a ton of space and equipment, there was a sizable pool area, and the Anzu restaurant was open and elegant.
Unfortunately, for a hotel that has such extravagant amenities, their rooms with king-sized beds are pretty small...with the bed taking up most of the floor space. The rooms with two queen-sized beds had a bit more breathing room.

Hotel Nikko in SF is very nice inside, very "upscale". Stayed on the 12th floor, so the views of the city were great. Negatives: Parking at the Hotel costs an arm and a leg! Plus, the area around the hotel is not very 'walking' friendly.

In Derry, storm is big, but timing is not bad
In Derry, the public works department is closely monitoring the storm predicted for Friday and Saturday.
"Crews will be preparing for the upcoming storm by checking their equipment and taking care of last minute details," said public works director Mike Fowler. "We expect that a full complement of DPW drivers and contracted equipment will be responding to the storm."
Fowler said he hopes that snow will be the major problem associated with the storm, as heavy winds could complicate the town's efforts if roads are blocked or power is out.
"The start of the storm will be critical, as it relates to the Friday (afternoon) commute," said Fowler. "The heavier snow accumulations are predicted to start later Friday evening into early Saturday morning. Our crews will likely be combating this storm most of the day Saturday until the storm dissipates."
He said the good news is that an overnight weekend storm gives crews the chance to clear the roads without dealing with weekday commuters, giving them the opportunity to be ready for Monday's commute and possible school openings.
"We would remind our residents to obey the overnight parking ban, which prohibits vehicles from parking on town roads between midnight and 6 a.m.," said Fowler. "Also, residents and businesses are reminded that it is illegal to deposit their snow in a public right-of-way. These measures will aid in our efforts to expediently clean the streets over the next few days."
During the first major snowfall of the season just after Christmas, there were some issues raised by Councilor Brian Chirichiello about snow removal on local sidewalks.
Town administrator John Anderson noted that crews were using new sidewalk snow removal equipment, but that he would address the issue.
At a town council meeting earlier this week, Chirichiello praised improved town cleanup efforts during more recent storms.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Physicians Regarding Urinary Incontinence in Persons Aged greater than or equal to 65 Years -- Massachusetts and Oklahoma, 1993
Urinary incontinence (UI) -- the involuntary loss of urine sufficient to be a problem for the patient or caregivers (1) -- affects an estimated 15%-30% of persons aged greater than or equal to 60 years in the United States and is a major cause of admittance to nursing homes (2). UI may be associated with a variety of medical (e.g., rashes, skin infections, pressure sores, urinary tract infections, and falls) and psychosocial problems (e.g., depression, embarrassment, restricted social interaction, reduced activities outside the home, reduced sexual activity, and sleep disturbances) (2-5). Despite the dissemination of clinical practice guidelines for UI by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) (1), many physicians do not know how to diagnose or treat UI. Beginning in 1992, CDC and AHCPR funded demonstration projects in Massachusetts and Oklahoma to educate the public, patients, and health-care professionals about UI. In both projects, physicians were assessed regarding baseline attitudes toward UI, knowledge of the causes and treatment of UI, preparedness to evaluate and treat UI, and current practices regarding UI. This report summarizes findings from the two projects during 1993.
Massachusetts. During March-May 1993, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health conducted a telephone survey of 350 eligible physicians who were sampled randomly in Essex and Norfolk counties; 163 (47%) participated. Of the 163 participants, 124 (76%) were primary-care physicians; 23 (14%), gynecologists; and 16 (10%), urologists. Overall, 34% reported that they had asked at least three fourths of their elderly patients about UI during the previous month; urologists (75%) and gynecologists (74%) were more likely to report asking than primary-care physicians (21%) (p less than 0.01). Seventy-two percent of physicians indicated that less than 10% of their patients aged greater than or equal to 65 years mentioned experiencing UI, and 68% that less than 10% of patients aged greater than or equal to 65 years who were asked about UI reported having this condition. The most common reasons that prevented physicians from asking patients about UI included lack of time (36%), lack of available and effective treatments (28%), and patient embarrassment (26%). A total of 73% underestimated the correct proportion (two thirds) of elderly patients with UI who could benefit from therapy. Most urologists (97%) and gynecologists (91%) and 46% of primary-care physicians rated themselves as prepared to treat UI.
Oklahoma. During May-September 1993, the Oklahoma State Department of Health mailed a survey to 194 eligible physicians who were randomly selected in four counties (Canadian, Cleveland, Logan, and Oklahoma) in the vicinity of Oklahoma City; 155 (80%) participated. Of the 155 participants, 120 (78%) were primary-care physicians; 26 (15%), gynecologists; and nine (6%), urologists. Overall, one third (33%) reported always asking all new patients about UI; urologists (89%) and gynecologists (58%) were more likely than primary-care physicians (23%) to always ask (p less than 0.01). Of all respondents, 16% reported they were "fully prepared" and 13% reported they were "poorly prepared" to evaluate UI; 62% of the primary-care physicians rated themselves as "somewhat prepared" or "poorly prepared" to evaluate UI. Nearly one third (32%) of respondents reported incorrectly that elderly persons with chronic UI were unlikely to improve. Most (90%) believed that physicians should be more active in asking the patient about problems with bladder control, and 78% believed that physicians should emphasize behavioral treatments (e.g., bladder training and pelvic muscle exercises) for UI.

Editorial Note
Editorial Note: In addition to its clinical effects, UI results in substantial health-care costs: in 1987, the annual direct costs for care of patients with UI were estimated to exceed $10.3 billion (2). Although existing therapies can improve two thirds of UI cases, the findings in this report suggest that most primary-care physicians neither routinely ask their elderly patients about UI nor believe they are adequately prepared to evaluate and treat UI. Previous studies have indicated that approximately half of patients with UI reported their physicians had never asked about UI, treated the condition, or referred them for treatment (6-9).
One of the national health objectives for the year 2000 is to increase to 60% the proportion of primary-care providers (i.e., physicians, physicians' assistants, nurses, and physical and occupational therapists) who routinely evaluate their patients aged greater than or equal to 65 years for UI (objective 17.17) (10). In both Massachusetts and Oklahoma, interventions were conducted after the surveys to prepare physicians to evaluate and treat UI. In Massachusetts, these interventions included a local conference about UI for urologists and chiefs of gynecology, organization of a series of hospital grand rounds presentations about UI by urologists, and a statewide mailing of program materials and information about the AHCPR guidelines to primary-care physicians. In Oklahoma, some physicians at area hospitals received briefings at department or general medical staff meetings to reinforce the importance of asking patients about UI; in addition, the Oklahoma Geriatric Education Center conducted an education session about treatment options for UI.
The health-care impact of UI is likely to increase because of the changing demographic composition of the U.S. population. As a consequence, clinical providers and public health programs will need to strengthen capacities to prevent UI and to ensure that patients with this condition can receive appropriate treatment. Health-care providers should routinely ask elderly patients about this condition and associated problems, educate patients about noninvasive behavioral interventions for UI, and if necessary, refer patients for appropriate treatment.

Yes, I know GZipStream or DeflateStream is the common ones in .NET Framework which handle compression/decompression.
I wish to have compress/decompress functions in my program, but
I wish a .NET Framework C# one, not a 3rd party open source. I can't use because of those copyright restrictions in my program.
GZipStream and DeflateStream are not so good. for e.g., GZipStream compress a file to 480KB while 7Zip compress the same file to the size of 57KB.
Does Microsoft have other good compression methods???

EMC has released its EMC XtremIO all-flash array, which is designed to provide reliable performance for applications such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), virtual servers, massively consolidated databases and development and test environments.
According to the company, the EMC XtremIO provides "consistent and predictable extreme performance to any application workload over any period of time, regardless of whether the array is idle or busy, empty or full." The arrays deliver up to 1 million fully random IOPS (input/output operations per second) with more than 250 TB of effective capacity in each cluster with inline data deduplication. Each cluster can scale from two to eight controllers and up to 128 cores.
Key features of the EMC XtremIO all-flash array include:
The company outlined four key architectural differences between the XtremIO and other all-flash arrays, including content-based data placement, a dual-stage metadata engine, XtremIO data protection (XDP), and shared in-memory metadata. According to the company, content-based data placement keeps the array balanced and optimized "to within a fraction of a percent" across all disks and array controller, while also removing duplicate data inline. The dual-stage metadata engine lets the array place data anywhere in the array without the need for garbage collection, and consequently improving IOPS performance, reducing latency, and reducing flash endurance. XtremIO data protection (XDP) is an algorithm that guards against disk failures while increasing capacity. Shared in-memory metadata helps the array deliver a wide range of performance and rapidly clone information already in the array to help speed up common tasks.
Further information about the EMC XtremIO all-flash array can be found at emc.com.

Macy's launching Bloomingdale's outlet stores in South Florida
- 12:43 pm Thursday, January 21st, 2010 by Allison Ross
Bloomingdale's will soon be launching a line of outlet stores as a response to changing consumer shopping patterns and falling commercial real estate rates.
Parent company Macy's Inc. said it will open the first four Bloomingdale's Outlet locations this summer or fall, according to Dow Jones.
Two of the four approximately 25,000-square-foot stores are expected to be in South Florida: one is projected to go in Dolphin Mall in Miami and another in Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise.

Check policies on restocking fees before opening your purchase
- 5:57 pm Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 by Allison Ross
When you unwrap your holiday presents, make sure you want to keep the gift before opening the box.
If not, it could cost you when you try to return it.
A number of different retailers charge restocking fees to consumers who return merchandise, even if it's not damaged or been used.
The fees range usually from 10 to 20 percent of the price of the item, and have historically been used on returns of electronics and big-ticket items — although different retailers charge restocking fees on a wide range of items.
The big idea behind the fees is to cut down on the cost that retailers have to deal with when they get returned merchandise, said Bart Weitz, the executive director of the Miller Center for Retailing Education and Research at the University of Florida.

Holidays and retailers: an important relationship
- 11:42 am Monday, November 16th, 2009 by Allison Ross
I write all the time about how important the holiday shopping season is to retailers. Indeed, this all-important time period accounts for more than a third of many stores' yearly sales.
But I also find it interesting how important retailers are to the holidays. In light of the "Holidays on Display" exhibition that is currently at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., I thought I'd share a few factoids about retailers and the holiday season.

Tracking day-after-Christmas sales
- 2:29 pm Friday, December 26th, 2008 by Allison Ross
Despite many retailers opening early today to draw in early bird shoppers, most are reporting that consumers chose to sleep in a little before hitting the sales racks.
At the Macy's in the Gardens mall — which opened at 6 a.m. — one salesclerk said she came in early to help out, but left after seeing very few customers.
"I walked around women's and there was no one here," she said. So she went home, took a nap, and came back in at 10. Since then, she said, sales really began picking up.

Select stores open late for night owl shoppers
- 11:13 am Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 by Allison Ross
When I was an intern at the Portland Press Herald newspaper in Portland, Maine, I was always fascinated by the fact that the L.L. Bean outlet was open 24 hours.
Why would anyone want to shop that late at night? I wondered. But people did. A friend of mine even took a nap in one of the tents before continuing to shop.
Now the Wall Street Journal is reporting that select stores are staying open 24 hours before Christmas to catch those late-night, last-minute shoppers.

Publisher Comments:
Something mysterious and terrible is happening throughout Victorian London: Ghosts are disappearing. When this reaches the attention of the Ghost Bureau, the diligent but clueless Mr. Lapsewood, a paranormal paper-pusher, is sent to investigate, and what he discovers is grave. The Black Rot has arrived—a voracious spiritual infestation whereby empty haunted houses suck in unsuspecting ghosts and imprison them. Lapsewoods investigation weaves through the plotlines of several other memorable characters—both living and dead—including an undertakers son who can see ghosts, a serial throat-slasher reminiscent of Jack the Ripper, an evangelical exorcist, and many more. The living and dead must work together if they hope to destroy the Black Rot—before it destroys both the ghost and human worlds.
This highly atmospheric and bitingly funny ghost story by successful British author Gareth P. Jones will delight fans of Eva Ibbotson and Neil Gaiman.
Praise for Constable and Toop
"Jones has crafted a menacing, spooky Victorian London full of criminals and unfinished business, which is well balanced by the biting satire and buffoonery of the Bureau. Add to that a cast of fascinating, well-wrought characters—from the smarmy and threatening Jack, to the precocious, pot-stirring aspiring journalist, Clara—and its a winning combination of macabre atmosphere, whimsical antics, and heartfelt, earnest friendship."
--Booklist, starred review
"This story is sure to tickle the funny bone and satisfy the taste for some gruesome adventure while appealing to both girls and boys. A fun read that includes intrigue, murder, mystery, and a young damsel who rescues them all."
--School Library Journal, starred review
"Both spine-chilling and raucously funny, this ghostly Victorian mystery knits humor and horror into a lively supernatural escapade for confident readers."
--Library Media Connection, highly recommended
"Jones is interested in giving readers more than spooky thrills; his characters have moral heft and are concerned with issues such as culpability, whether people can be considered good if they have done bad things, and the importance of living life to its fullest."
--Kirkus Reviews
"British author Jones offers a witty take on Victorian ghost stories that mixes dark humor and satire with an almost traditional boys adventure format."
--Publishers Weekly
"It is part mystery, part adventure, and thoroughly delightful."
"British author Jones (the Ninja Meerkats series) offers a witty take on Victorian ghost stories that mixes dark humor and satire with an almost traditional boy's adventure format. Sam Toop is the son of an undertaker, and has, after years of being exposed to the dead, become a 'Talker,' who can see and hear ghosts. When an amoral exorcist starts banishing ghosts in London, the places they'd previously haunted become corrupt and eerie to the living, a situation that can only be fixed when a new ghost is trapped there. A ghostly bureaucrat named Lapsewood investigates, and his attempts to fix the problem lands him in ghost prison and leads to Sam's violent uncle, Jack, being enlisted to help find new ghosts — something he decides is easiest if he creates the ghosts himself. From the often hilarious and inept ghostly bureaucracy to Jack's grisly murders and the horror of innocent ghosts being banished, Jones casts a wide net. As a result, the novel can ramble, but Jones's vision and verve give it heaps of charm. Ages 10 — 14." Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
