I'm partial to the LT. Most of the dentists I work for prefer it too...They say the HT seems too gray for their liking.
- 1Upvote
I would say broaden your horizon. Emax offers so many ingot types that its too hard to say in general. But I can say that HT ingots are good for posterior stain technique, but if the wax up is too thick, it will be too gray. You can also use Value ingots in these situations. LT ingots are good for copings, but I find value ingots to work slightly better if you have good build up control. Hope this helps.
- 1Upvote
My workhorse ingot is the LT with a little more now going to the value shades (V1, V2, V3). The issue with the HTs is that they were developed to be an inlay, onlay and veneer material. Because of this, they do great with thin resorations (<1mm). As the HTs get thicker (especialy >1.5mm) they tend to go grey due to their translucency and the darkness of the oral cavity. SOMETIMES, you can get away with going a shade or two lighter/brighter to couneract this effect, but not always.

PACIFIC COAST NEWT. Triturus torosus (Rathke) (See Figure 1-Plate 3).
The general form of this animal which is generally referred to as a "water dog" is moderately stout. The limbs are well developed and the tail is cylindrical. The nostrils are small, the eyes moderately small and the neck is short. There are not costal grooves evident. The anterior, or fore, limbs have four toes while the posterior, or rear limbs, have five.
In the breeding season the males which preceed the females to the water, have well developed caudal fins, that is the tail, which is normally cylindrical, otherwise, flattens out vertically. The cloacal region in the male is large, especially during this period. Otherwise the skin surface is usually roughed with minute brownish horny points.
The color of this amphibian varies from dark to brown or reddish brown to a greenish brown. The lower surfaces however are orange.
This species may be found along the Pacific Coast from Alaska south to lower California. In Mt. Rainier National Park the range extends from the boundaries up to Reflection Lake on the south side and Mowich Lake on the north. Slater states that he has taken only one specimen around Reflection Lake, but several at Mowich Lake. In small, fairly stagnant lakes at lower levels they are abundant. The eggs are deposited singly or in small bunches soon after the ice melts off the ponds, and they transform in three to four months or more. Some may continue as larvae over the first winter, but it is believed most of them transform near the end of their first summer when they are from one and one-half to two inches long. They return to water only when sexually mature and in some ponds and adults appear to remain all summer.
NORTHWEST SALAMANDER. Ambystoma gracile (Baird) (See Figure 2-Plate 3).
The general form of this species is quite robust with well developed limbs, rounded snout and with a neck shorter than the width of the body. The tail is cylindrical except near the outer end where it is slightly compressed laterally. Prominent paratid glands are also characteristic - these being generally browner than the rest of the body. There are ten costal grooves (rib-like folds) which are continued across the abdomen while the sides of the tail, toward its base, show lateral grooves. The eyes are medium sized. The skin, slightly roughened on the dorsal surface (back), is smooth on the ventral surface (abdomen). The color of this amphibian is dark brown above and light brown underneath.
The Northwest Salamander is probably the most abundant salamander in the Park, and is found from the lowest elevations to five thousand feet, although the larvae have been taken at higher elevations on several occasions. This is the species which is commonly seen in the lakes and ponds around Reflection Lake and Paradise. Usually it is the one-year and two-year larvae that are noted while an adult may occasionally be seen in the pond at the breeding season. Large larvae as well as adults lay eggs when the ice is melting out of the pond, or soon after. The eggs are in bunches of one hundred or two hundred, if firm jelly, and generally fastened to sticks a few inches to a foot under the surface of the water. The three to six inch larvae are remarkably fast swimmers. They have three pairs of well-developed gills.
The only other larvae with which these are likely to be confused are those of the Long-toed Salamander. However the latter usually do not grow any larger than a lead pencil and generally are not over three inches in length when they transform into adults.
This species ranges from British Columbia south along the Pacific Coast to north western California.
LONG-TOED SALAMANDER. Ambystoma macrodactylum (Baird) (See Figure 3-Plate 3.)
The body form of this animal is moderately stout; stouter than our two species of Plethodon - (Western Red-backed and Washington Salamander) but slenderer than the Northwest Salamander (Ambystoma gracile). Its limbs are strong and well developed. The eyes and nostrils are small. The skin is smooth and there are usually eleven costal grooves (rib-like folds) which are, however, not prominent on ventral side (abdomen).
The color on the back and sides is dark brown to nearly black, with an irregular yellowish stripe down the center of the back, starting near the eyes and extending nearly to the tip of the tail. The ventral (abdomen) side is dark brown with many small white spots.
The general range of this salamander is from British Columbia south to Central California and eastward to Montana. In Mt. Rainier National Park it is found from the lowest points on the boundary to as high as six thousand feet in elevation. It prefers the smaller ponds between five and six thousand feet for breeding. The pond on the summit of Mazama Ridge, just north of the trail between the Paradise Highway and Reflection Lake, the pond near the Paradise Highway just above the last crossing of Paradise River, Little Reflection Lake, Fairy Pool and ponds in the Elysian fields are typical breeding ponds for the Long-toed Salamander. The eggs are deposited singly or in small bunches either on the bottom of such ponds or fastened to grass or small sticks therein. The jelly surrounding these eggs is quite soft.
The larvae usually transform soon after the ice melts from the ponds during their second summer at the higher elevations, while at the lower levels they transform the same year that the eggs are laid.
PACIFIC GIANT SALAMANDER. Dicamptodon (Eschscholtz) (See Figure 4 - Plate 3).
This is the largest of our native salamanders. The body is robust with strong limbs. A prominent groove extends from the head to the base of the tail on the dorsal or upper side of the animal's body. The head is broad and depressed; snout rounded; eyes large and building and the nostrils are small. This animal also possesses well developed maxillary teeth.
The skin is smooth with, usually, twelve costal grooves. These grooves however are not very conspicuous. The color of the dorsal (upper) and lateral (side) surface is mottled with bronze and dark sepia while the ventral (abdominal) surface is brownish drab. The larvae on the upper side is grey. They (the larvae) have a truncate nozzle, and their dorsal fins come only to the base of the tail.
One may find the larvae of the Pacific Giant Salamander in the smaller mountain streams and occasionally in the larger streams. The adults spend much of their time on land, hiding under rocks, slabs of bark, etc. While Slater has not taken the eggs of this species in Mt. Rainier National Park, Storer in "A Synopsis of Amphibia of California" states that the eggs are deposited in small lakes, (in Mendocino County, California,) in the redwood forest region, in masses two to three inches in diameter, to three or four inches in length, on sticks one or two feet under the surface. The jelly is very firm. The transformation size varies from four to ten or more inches.
This large Salamanders ranges from British Columbia south to Monterey Bay, California. In the park it is most generally noted at the lower elevations, several specimens having been taken in the vicinity of Longmire, the Nisqually Entrance and in the Carbon River Valley.
WESTERN RED-BACKED SALAMANDER. (Plethodon vehiculus) (Cooper) (See Figure 5 - Plate 3.)
The form of this species is elongated and slender with the head and body depressed, the head being slightly broader than the rest of the body. The limbs and toes are rather small. A groove extends along the ventral (lower) side from the head to the base of the tail, and there are usually fourteen costal grooves (rib-like folds) between the fore and hind limbs.
The color is blackish brown, which fades out to a lighter shade beneath. A reddish or yellowish band extends from the snout to the tip of the tail though some specimens may not have such a stripe. Minute white specks are generally present, especially on the sides.
This species is found in British Columbia, Washington, and Western Oregon. In Mt. Rainier National Park it ranges up to five thousand feet, and is found in moist woods, under leaves or under rocks which have water trickling over them. The eggs are laid in moist places, but not in water. This and other species belonging to the genus Plethodon, when adult, do not have lungs as the majority of adult salamanders do.
WASHINGTON SALAMANDER. Plethodon vandykei Van Denburgh; (See Figure 6 - Plate 3.)
The body of this species is similar to that of the Western Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon vehiculus) except that it is slightly stouter and possessed a heavier head. There are generally twelve costal grooves (rib-like folds) between the fore and hind limbs. The limbs are well developed and the tail is used much in climbing.
The color varies; but usually there is a dark clay-colored band from snout to tip of tail; while the side may be black to yellowish brown with tiny black specks. The ventral (abdomen) side is lighter in color.
This species was first described from a specimen taken in Paradise Valley which makes this animal of particular interest in this issue of Nature Notes. Slater reports having found them under rotting fir slabs at the base of a tree and under wet moss by a tiny stream. The latter specimens were found only a very short distance from the snout of the Carbon Glacier about 1934. Slater states that "as far as I know their eggs have never been taken, but it is believed that they will be found under much the same condition as those of Plethodon vehiculus."
It is apparent from the few collections noted above that this species, in Mt. Rainier National Park, has a rather wide altitudinal range - from near the Carbon Glacier's terminus (3400 ft.) to Paradise Valley (5500 ft.). It is not widely distributed geographically however - being known only from the vicinity of the Puget Sound region of Washington.
RED SALAMANDER or OREGON SALAMANDER. Ensatina eschscholtzii Gray - (See Figure 7 - Plate 3).
The form of this amphibian is rather stout with short limbs and a tail that is cylindrical with marked constriction at base. The head is depressed, and about as wide as the widest part of the body. The eyes are large and the nostrils small. There are usually eleven costal grooves or rib-like folds upon the sides of the body.
The color on the upper surface is reddish-brown without markings. Upon the upper surface of the limbs and toward the tip of the tail, however, possesses yellowish spots. The lower surface the animal is yellowish to light cream.
This species is found under stones and logs in moist locations. The eggs which are few in number are deposited in decaying logs and stumps-not in water. The mother usually stays with them until they are hatched - sometimes longer, presumably for protection.
The Red or Oregon Salamander is known to occur from Washington to Southern California while in the park it occurs up to an elevation of 3000 feet.
AMERICAN RIBBED TOAD or AMERICAN BELL TOAD. Ascaphus truei Stejnegner (See Figure 8; Plate 4)
The head of this species is flattened and not as long as it is broad. The eyes are of moderate size with vertically eliptic pupils. On the lower surface of the hand there are three pads, and the fingers are long. The hind leg is moderately long, with slender toes that are moderately webbed. In adult males a "tail" extends back about one-fourth of an inch. There is no tympanic membrane. The skin is smooth; only in a few specimens does it appear slightly warty.
The color of the American Ribbed Toad varies greatly, but it is usually reddish-brown to gray with numerous minor blending colors. Some specimens however have a decided greenish cast. A whitish stripe extends between the eyes.
The eggs of this species are deposited beneath stones in streams and the tadpoles live in a habitat of swift water, characteristic of mountain streams. One of the very interesting things about this tadpole is that the anterior (mouth) portion of the head is modified to form a suction cup which enables the animal to stick to boulders or even work its way against the swift current. They are nearly black with a whitish or cream-colored tip to the tail. Some may transform at the end of the first summer, but many hibernate the first winter as tadpoles. This is the easiest way to recognize the Salatian tadpoles. Mrs. Gage (Occasion Papers Mus. Zool. Univ. Mich. No. 84, 1920) is the only one to report having collected their eggs in the field; and Slater was the first to observe and report mating (Copeia 1931 p. 62-63). This was at Ipsut Creek, a branch of the Carbon River, Mt. Rainier National Park, on May 17, 1930.
Ascaphus is widely distributed in Mt. Rainier National Park, occuring up to about 6000 feet in this area. The highest elevations in the park that Slater has recorded these animals are just below Paradise Inn on the south side, and at the head of Dick Creek on the north side. Almost every creek inhabited by Ascaphus tadpoles is also occupied by the larvae of the Pacific Giant Salamander, which Slater considers as its great enemy. One exception is Dick Creek which drains the Elysian Fields, being a tributary of the Carbon River.
NORTHWESTERN TOAD. Bufo boreas boreas (Baird and Girard) (See Figure 9 - Plate 4.) The cover design pictures this animal also.
This toad which is common in Mt. Rainier National Park, grows to a large size being 2" - 5" in length. The females are larger than the males. The mature size is attained in from 2 - 3 years. The strong limbs are possessed of blunt toes and fingers. The skin is covered with characteristically roundish and elongated warts. The head is broad; the tympanum, (ear) is small and there are two large and prominent parotid glands.
The color varies from gray and brown to greenish but the surface of the warts is usually brownish. A yellowish or whitish and mid-dorsal stripe extends from snout to anus.
The eggs of the Northwestern toad are deposited in ponds or slow moving streams in long strings of jelly. These eggs are quite dark on top, and six to ten will be found to the inch in the string of jelly. They hatch in a few days and transform in six to eight weeks.
The range of this toad in the park is about the same as that of the Pacific Coast Newt (Triturus torosus.), that is from the lower elevations along the park boundaries up to 5000 feet. Slater reports having seen less than half a dozen around Reflection Lakes and none higher on this side of the park On the north side of the park he reports seeing numbers around Mowich Lake and on the trail up to Ipsut Pass. The general range is from S. E. Alaska to Northern California and east to Colorado.
Generally speaking toads remain active from early spring until late fall when they hibernate, underground, by burrowing. The burrowing is done with the hind legs, the hind feet possessing tubercles or "spurs" which are of assistance in this digging. The animal goes down backwards into the burrow as it is being dug, the dirt filling in over the toad's head. It is said that when toads hibernate those that fail to burrow below the frost level perish.
Like all amphibians the toad has numerous enemies. There is no period in its life when it is not subject to attack. All classes of verebrate animals destroy it while drought in summer or severe cold in winter kill many toads. Young toads, being diurnal, expose themselves to their enemies more than do the adults which are active only in the evening and at night. They hide under stones, debris etc. during the day.
In the matter of food habits the toad is largely beneficial to man, particularly in the garden, greenhouse, on the farm, in fields of small grain, on golf courses and the like, for the bulk of their food consists of noxious insects. Main food types (Kirkland) are sowbugs, snails, spiders, millipedes, and insects. Insects comprised, in an analysis of 502 toad stomachs, about 77% of the food - beetles of various kinds and ants being the chief constituents. (Kirkland)
PACIFIC TREE TOAD. Hyla regilla Baird and Girard (See Figure 10 - Plate 4.)
This, one of the most interesting amphibians native to Mt. Rainier National Park, is our smallest member of that group which includes the tailess amphibians (Salients - frogs and toads). It is, however not much smaller than the American Ribbed or American Bell Toad (Ascaphus truei). Seldom is a Pacific Tree Toad found with a body length of two inches. Its form is delicate with the nostrils nearly terminal, the tympanum (ear) is small and the skin is smooth. There are no webs between the fingers of the fore limbs but webs are present between the third, fourth, and fifth toes on the hind limbs. On both fingers and toes one finds expanded terminal discs by means of which this animal clings to various objects and climbs about. The general body color of the Pacific Tree Toad varies from pale green, green, brown, reddish brown, and is often blotched on the back. The side of the head has a broad band of dark color with a narrow strip of white below.
In the park it is found in the region where swamps and heavy forests abound. The highest that this species has been reported (Slater), on the south side of the park, is the lower end of Paradise Valley just above the forest zone. Slater also states that he has never seen nor heard them about Reflection Lakes. However, in California this species has been reported as high as 11,600 feet (Slevin - Amphibians of Western North America).
The Pacific tree toad lays its eggs in small ponds, soon after it comes out of hibernation, in small clusters which are fastened to grass or sticks a few inches under the surface of the water. These clusters usually contain 20 to 40 eggs. The jelly is soft, and the eggs are a light grayish brown on top and light cream underneath. The young transform during the first summer.
During the mating season - in the spring - the small lakes and marshes resound with the voices of great numbers of the male Tree Toads. The "Song" of this animal is made by means of blowing out the membrane of the under surface of the lower jaw to truly alarming proportions. This skin then looks like a large bubble and the tree toad's voice is given added resonance. It might be compared to shouting into a barrel.
WESTERN WOOD FROG or OREGON RED-LEGGED FROG. Rana aurora aurora (Baird and Girard) (See Figure 11; Plate 4.)
This species resembles the Western Spotted Frog (Rana pretiosa) but the form is heavier, the dorsal folds are not as prominent and the dark spots are not as conspicuous. In addition the snout of this species is rounded and the color is apt to be darker on the back and a purplish red beneath.
The egg masses are distinguished from those of the Western Spotted Frog (Rana pretiosa) by the more grape-like appearance; that is, the jelly envelopes about each egg near the surface of the group stand out whereas the jelly masses of the Western Spotted Frog from a more even surface. The individual jelly envelopes of the Western Wood Frog are also larger.
This frog is not found at such high elevations in Mt. Rainier National Park as is the Western Spotted Frog nor is it quite as common. Its general range includes a narrow strip of territory from British Columbia to Oregon, with a possibility of its occurence in the extreme northwestern corner of California.
WESTERN SPOTTED FROG. Rana pretiosa Baird and Girard. (See Figure 12 - Plate 4.)
This is the most abundant frog in Mt. Rainier National Park. It is a moderate sized species with moderately heavy fore limbs, moderately slim hind limbs, and a prominent dorsolateral fold.
Above, its color is light to dark brown with black spots. These spots very greatly in number and to some extent in size. The under surface is reddish to straw colored, the reddish specimens being found in the lower altitudes, and the straw colored ones in the higher portion of this species' range. The latter are abundant about Paradise, Reflection Lakes, Elysian Fields, and similar places; but, none have been reported from Yakima Park or Spray Park. It is distributed from Alaska to northern California and east to Utah and Montana.
The eggs are deposited within a few days after the frog comes out of hibernation in the higher elevations regardless of whether the ice and snow is melted from the pond. The jelly mass of these eggs forms a rather even surface - that is the individual jelly envelope of each egg is not very well defined. The egg masses of this frog are those most commonly seen early in the summer in the vicinity of Paradise and places of similar elevation.

"My Cancer Diagnosis is the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me"Posted May 8, 2008, 3:48 pm in Cancer

For Immediate Release
"My Cancer Diagnosis is the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me"
Central Florida News Anchor Walks Away From Glamorous Job
Orlando, Fla. (May 8, 2008) For 20 years, Wendy Chioji was one of the most popular and respected news anchors in one of the nation's largest media markets. She was single, attractive, well paid and talented. She covered the big stories and landed the big interviews. Everything was perfect in her glamorous life until a breast cancer diagnosis seven years ago.
That began a very public battle and a journey of self-discovery from which she couldn't turn back. There were things she needed to do. "All of a sudden it's like, maybe you have next year and maybe you don't. So you've just got to go for it right now," she says. "I'm going to live big and bold, taking chances and calculated risks. If you get this second chance you can go out and make a bigger difference than you could before because there is no fear of failure now."
At the age of 46, Chioji is leaving behind a cushy and glamorous career and moving across the country to become a partner in a competitive cycling performance center. She'll not only compete but also help other survivors set their sights on the finish line. She says, "For me, crossing the finish line is very symbolic. Every time I cross it, I'm a little bit further away from being sick and it's one more thing that somebody who might be sick right now can look at and say, "In a few months, I can do the same thing.'"
GrowingBolder.com has documented Chioji's major life transition in a new video. "I am totally growing bolder, she says. "Cancer teaches us that everything we do has to make a difference. Everything we do has to matter. It's strange, but the cancer diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to me in my life. It has opened unbelievable doors on many levels."

My PS showed me an exercise to do, but I'm just curious if anyone has a particular tip that really helped them drop! Please share!
Comments (1)
It seems like there are many tips and tricks, but they are often unique to each person based on their body and implants. Since you are less than 3 weeks post-op, you may want to stick with the suggestions your PS gave you. Have you noticed any change in the past week? Good luck!

Peaberry's Sumatra Dark French coffee is one of our best selling coffees from the Dark and Intense flavor profile. Dark French Sumatra is our darkest roast. Sumatra Mandheling coffee beans are softer than many other coffees and therefore more liable to scorch and it takes a careful hand to roast them this dark without charring them. When properly roasted, the characteristically intense "burnt sugar" flavor, clean finish and smoky bittersweet aroma combines in a truly classic cup. Cheers!
Posted by Bob I on 10/28/2013
The coffee is good I wish I could just pick it up the delivery takes too long.
Posted by Barbara H. on 06/12/2012
This coffee is like no other!!
Posted by Unknown on 05/08/2012
We have tried others and can't find any with the flavor and smoky undertone. Excellent.

Beautiful dark roast - with the nuaince of the original bean in the profile.

Kejriwal says Delhi Assembly disruption exposed nexus of BJP and Congress
Reacting to the disruption in the Delhi Assembly, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said that the incident exposed nexus between Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) who have been brought together by Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani.
"Congress and BJP is the name of a system, and the nexus between the Congress and BJP has been exposed today. It is because of Mukesh Ambani that these two parties have come together," said Kejriwal.
"Today there was match fixing between the Congress and the BJP. Both the party members are working together and are trying to defend Ambani but have failed to do it," he said.
"Congress says that it is supporting the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) but it is actually supporting the BJP. It was a well coordinated move. The BJP and Congress both kept coming to the well at a break of five minutes. After that both the parties started suspending the power of the speakers," he added.
The Delhi assembly on Thursday was disrupted as BJP MLAs trooped into the well of the house demanding resignation of Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharti, in context of the midnight raid conducted by him involving African women, forcing the speaker to adjourn the proceedings twice.
BJP legislators objected to the speaker's reference of "special session" to the proceedings in his introductory address. They demanded for it to be addressed as the budget session.
The session has been called for passage of contentious anti-corruption legislation Jan Lokpal Bill and Swaraj Bills proposed by Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government.
The notice was read out by speaker MS Dhir.
The speaker had told BJP members that his ruling would be given after getting Bharti's response. But BJP MLAs started protesting against Bharti beforehand and trooped into the well of the house.

I purchased a cell phone at Walmart-Reno, NV and the gal even called and set it all up for me that day.I purchased a Straight Talk plan with phone that Walmart offers.
On the 16th day it just died. Couldn't get nothing out of it. Tried charging it and all that but still nothing. So my husband and I took it back to Walmart.
They said they wouldn't refund us because it was over 15 days. Can you believe it - it died on the 16th day. They told me to contact either Samsung or Straight Talk. So I call Samsung.
Since it's some kind of contractual thing between them and Straight Talk they weren't responsible to give refunds on these particular phones. Told me to call Straight Talk. I did. The first guy was to new to be able to deal with the situation.
So I was transferred to another person. (Oh, I purchased it on 2.10.12 and called them around 3.23.12) She could not help me so I was transferred to a supervisor. I couldn't believe what they told me. They do not give refunds after 30 days.
Now that phone DIED on the 16TH DAY. We had just purchased a house and were in the process of moving etc. So I didn't call them immediately. The phone sat in its original box with all paperwork/accessories for what?
A couple of weeks. That's all it did. We never dropped the phone and it never got wet. It wasn't used and abused.
So I read their "terms and conditions" as best as I could. And no where did it state anything about no refunds under 30 days. I am furious. I emailed them and stated that anywhere I could write a bad review about their products and services, I would.
So I have. At Amazon.com, Facebook and Walmart.com. And I'm not done. So just beware.
I guess good customer service doesn't mean anything anymore. And the quality of products sold at Walmart by Straight Talk are really poor. I mean I spent around $100.00 for a cell phone that lasted, well, only 15 days. If you as a consumer have the time you should read some of the reviews at Amazon.com.
Apparently I'm not the only one who had this particular cell phone just DIE.By the way, its a Samsung Model #T528G.b080fc9

Hi we also are having same problem we bought protection plan & extended warrantee ..we had so many problems getting service in the most open areas phone would beep for no reason while speaking & cut in & out constantly we brought them back to Walmart where we purchased them we where assured if there were any problems we would get new phones or if we discontinued service we would get back $100.00 for each phone we didn't even care of it was store credit the sales person assured us the facts above ..we went back saw him personally because I hot his name & he denied taking care of us or making statements about return policy & told us to call straight talk after speaking to 5 different people that could hardly speak English or we could understand we are still stuck with 2 phones ..we had to go back to At&t we are both disabled and only need cell phones as a necessity we even tried filling form online & that just sent us back to square one Walmart .. need advice pls .. desperate0 0 Reply

they have changed-- just returned a phone I had for 6 months. the charging port on it was loose. They guarantee against defects for 1 year- and they have CHEAP insurance for accidents( broken screens etc)I have had straighttalk for over 4 years now. I'm still satisfied.0 0 Reply

To kat can you please tell me who or how you contacted straightalk or did you go.back to Walmart so I.can fix issues with our two phones please thank you0 0 Reply
Further return 'warning' Sep 12, 2012
Straight Talk says you can return your phone for refund within 30 days... when I called to do just that because I didn't like the phone features they said it's only if the phone is defective! NO WHERE does it say that in their written policy that comes with the box (or online for that matter) I was able to 'talk them in to it' yet find it funny that even on the return form it you have to check a box that can say "changed my mind," or "not satisfied"0 0 Reply

Windows 8 Storage Spaces: Can you trust it with your delicates?
I have been watching a few Storage Spaces discussion threads on Microsoft's support forums with interest. Storage Spaces is a new way to manage disk storage in Windows 8 and Server 2012. It allows you to create a pool from two or more drives, create virtual drives on them with an option for RAID-like resilience, and add or …
What did you expect?
Software Raid 5 is simply hopeless for any kind of performance and since it is striped parity it was bound to default to the lowest sized spindle.
Although someone seems to have made a gaff and given the whole volume the size of one spindle.
Re: What did you expect?
doesn't seem to be what microsoft expected - if this was just meant to be a raid 5 setup it wouldn't take microsoft long to work it out
Microsoft have finally build Write-Only-Media
And this is labelled as a "Release Candidate"?
Sounds more like an Alpha or early Beta to me, perhaps we ought to blame developers such as Google for labelling things incorrectly (Google do tend to leave the label of Beta on things for many years after release).
Software RAID is a mess on any OS but worse on Microsoft
.. because on Microsoft it just loses data like nothing..
It's a bad implementation of ZFS Raid Z.. and Microsoft couldn't even copy it properly so it seems.
Re: Software RAID is a mess on any OS but worse on Microsoft
"It's a bad implementation of ZFS Raid Z.. and Microsoft couldn't even copy it properly so it seems."
I'll be the first to admit that I know very little about how one goes about finding out if a binary contains stuff from other applications.
Is it possible to decompile the binary and run something like DIFF on the the two to see if they contain identical code?
Or do you mean that MS have taken the concept of ZFS Raid Z and tried to write something that copies the functionality of Raid Z, but have failed?
Given the overheated feelings in the IT world over "copying" at the moment would not the first situation mean a possible law suit heading towards Redmond from Oracle?
Re: Software RAID is a mess on any OS but worse on Microsoft
It's not really a rip-off of ZFS (although it does use some of the same ideas), it's more of a rip-off of Drobo.
Re: Software RAID is a mess on any OS but worse on Microsoft
It's a bad implementation of ZFS Raid Z
It doesn't look like an attempt to implement ZFS to me; it looks like the logical volume management that some other OSes have had for decades. Linux has had LVM since 1999 (the 2.2 kernel); AIX has had it since 1989 (AIX 3.0). Mainframes and minis had it before then.
As others have noted, server versions of Windows supported RAID-0 and disk spanning back in the '90s too; that's apparently not all of what's in Storage Spaces, but it's a good part of it.
In short, it's hard to see Storage Spaces as anything exciting, and it seems like many of the issues people are having with it are due to user confusion, probably because the UI tries too hard to be easy to use.
Not sure of the purpose of Storage Spaces?
If anyone wants a reliable storage facility using multiple drives for redundancy then they should really be using a proper RAID solution. I've never found software RAIDs reliable. By providing these solutions, Win 8/2012 is encouraging people to use them. My advice is never to do storage on the cheap - not if you care about the safety of the data.
Re: Not sure of the purpose of Storage Spaces?
Isn't it more useful for abstracting the size of your 'drive' from the physical drives you've got plugged in... you add another 500Gb and your drive is magically 500Gb bigger?
I hate
that type of abstraction. It's like abstracting how many tires on your car have tread or are inflated. ;)
Is this supposed to be like Disk Extender in the old Windows Home Server?
Disk Extender was a pretty neat deal - but Microsoft dumped it when they came out with the new WHS (code named Vail IIRC). It wasn't RAID.
works well for me...
Ive been using the storage pools on server2012 which is much the same as the 2008 code... there is no magic bullet with redundancy, the disks all do drop down to the lowest denominator.... its impossible to store parity for a 2TB dsik on a 320GB drive...
Write speeds on my test array - 2x3TB and 1x2TB are good (all7200rpm drives) Ive not run HD tune but reading and writing over the network to the box produces read write in the region of 50-60MB/s
The storage array has perfomed surprisingly well in my testing - surviving a simulated two disk failure and OS install (with the OS reinstall the space needed to be reattatched with a powershell script to connect at startup)
The space does just disconnect and vanish when you hit the limit - this is a bit annoying, an alert should be posted up, or the disk just appear full.
but remember these are pre-release test bulids - the disclaimers are all full of 'Use at own risk' so the moaning minnies should just man up or wait for the code to turn gold.
Re: works well for me...
famous last words.
Re: works well for me...
"The space does just disconnect and vanish when you hit the limit - this is a bit annoying, ... "
Maybe I'm a little picky about these things, but I'd call that a lot more than a bit annoying. At the polite end of the scale are words like "broken".
Re: works well for me...
Why are you still using pre-release builds when RTM is available for download?
If you chose Parity, then by design it will only scale to the smallest multiple of disk size.
This is not like ZFS
ReFS is probably closer to ZFS.
(This is more like the Drive Extender that was in the first home server release.)
MS standard procedure almost followed to the letter...
...They just didn't name it Version 1.0.
Yet another reason not to trust Windoze!
Re: Hmmm
It's a pre release version he is using.
I doubt that RTM has the same issues. Pre release = build 8400. RTM = build 9200.
Idiot -- he made a RAID 0 array
Upon reaching ~0.9 TB -- Remember that number, commentards: That's 320 GB x 3 -- the storage space vanished! Yes, vanished.
After invoking the Storage Space Manager, I discovered that the space was deemed "full" and that I was to add another disc. I also took a look at the volumes itself. Hmmh. The 320 GB disc was 100% filled, the 1 TB was at 32% and the 2 TB at 16%. And what are 32% of 1 TB and 16% of 2 TB? Why, 320 GB!
So, instead of creating a Parity storage space, it simply downsized every hard disc to the lowest denominator, i.e. 320 GB.
The idiot created a RAID 0 array, and a RAID 0 array will pick the smallest disk in the array to base the size of the array from. This was like the software RAID 0 capability that was included in Windows since Windows NT 3.5. At least in NT 3.5 the remainders of the other disks would still be available, and (having not looked at Storage Spaces on Win 8 yet) I'll guess that the remainders of the other disks are still available for other uses.
A RAID 0 array is not the same as an extended volume, which is not dependent on the sizes of the disks. That was introduced in Windows 2000 with dynamic disk partitioning.
A parity storage array would be at least RAID 5, also known as "striping with parity." And that would be 640 GB with three 320 GB disks, not 0.9 TB.
Re: Idiot -- he made a RAID 0 array
if you read the article, it seems the manager software said the maximum size would be 2T.
Maybe the storage manager should have shown the collective disk to be 320G in size ?
I seem to recall there is at least one company that sells NAS enclosures, where you can mix and match different sized disks, and get RAID5-like redundancy, wihtout being limited to the smalles disksize.
You mean this?
The manager talks about the storage space having a 2 TB capacity, but directly above it talks about a 3.01 pool capacity?
So is this a documentation problem? Or is it a 'I don't know what RAID is' problem?
How about someone else here (I don't have a collection of varying sized disks) attempt to reproduce the problem before jumping all over, "argh, never trust M$!!!!!11!!1!one!"
Re: Idiot -- he made a RAID 0 array
Anyone who starts out with 3 dissimilar sized disks and imagines he will have a disk larger than the smallest size disk, in a RAID 5, is not paying enough attention to the setup.
At the very least it is at this time that you question is this thing working, not plow ahead and hope that MS has proved a great new tool that will create space out of air.
This sounds like exactly the kind of Microsoft designed "feature" you would be a complete fool to trust.
LVM - it works
I'm not an economic racist – honestly
I blame the coding and design team: its Indian based. Honestly those people are brought up in a Religious system that fosters illogical thinking. I honestly think – Microsoft is downright stupid for going cheap.

Exactly. Do not make the mistake of believing Obama wants the economy to improve but simply doesn't know how to do it. Nonsense. He knows exactly what he is doing. He wants revenue and power. Nothing else matters. He wants to "go over the fiscal cliff" and see middle class taxes go up. He doesn't care if more people lose their jobs and go on welfare, because then he owns the. Riots? An excuse for him to declare martial law. The thug-in-chief is evil, pure and simple.

Stuart White is a freelance writer living in the Pacific Northwest. His collaborative humor blog can be found at Wheel of Why.
When people ask me why I waste my time following sports, I say the main draw is the irrational hatred component. I could name you the teams I truly like on one polydactyly hand. The teams I hate, on the other hand? For that you're going to need something akin to the oubliette from Labyrinth. Yeah, root-root-rooting for the home team is fun and all, but jeering a despised opponent is just as satisfying. Is it a tad silly to feel visceral reactions to a sports team composed of people I don't know and will never meet? Sure. It's addicting, though, and a difficult habit to kick.
Currently, the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers are in contention for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. While it sickens me to have to cheer for Utah (I won't soon forget John Stockton's shot that prevented one of my childhood icons, Charles Barkley, from his final opportunity for a ring), there are few finer pleasures in life than hoping the Lakers crash and burn. Their purple-and-gold uniforms and their insufferable fans fill me with unspeakable rage, which I will now speak about.
My hatred for the Lakers is "childish," sure, because I started when I was a child. As a center with the skills, at best, of a far-sighted ostrich, I was forced into countless Mikan drills during basketball practice. You wanna know who always had fun practices with lots of dainty, catch-and-shoot jumpers? The goddamn guards. You wanna know who was stuck under the basket, nauseated from vertigo and filled with dislike for his abnormal, freak size? Me. Yeah, I know George Mikan played for the Lakers back in the Minneapolis days, but my dislike of all things lake-related, aside from the Land O' Lakes butter packages that you could fold into a sexy picture, was set from then on.
Growing up, the hate just flowed through me. Of course, it culminated in 2000 NBA Playoffs against my Portland Trail Blazers, which for me will always be remembered as the time when I learned that whatever higher power may exist is definitely not benevolent or loving. Ever since that travesty, there has been little to get excited about as a Blazers fan besides praying that the franchise will finally draft someone with adamantium knees. Every time I see that stupid highlight of Shaq's gaping maw as he runs down the court, fingers pointed up in elation, I want to set buildings on fire a la Carol/Cheryl. I can never forgive the Lakers for the pain I've suffered since that fateful seventh game, nor for the amount of arson charges I've accrued.
While Portland's 2013 season was far from spectacular, I've felt immense pleasure tracking the struggling Lakers. Knowing their super-team may fall short of the playoffs brings out some seriously sinister cackles. After the firing of Mike Brown, it's been delightful watching the Lakers continue to play an abysmal brand of basketball. Evidently, just throwing a bunch of incongruous people together and hoping for the best is an equally bad basketball strategy as it is a bad orgy strategy.
I suppose Steve Nash is kinda cool because he has soccer skills, but besides him the team is full of unlikable players. I don't know how someone wakes up in the morning and says, with a straight face, "Ya know, I'm really excited to root for Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace." That doesn't even take into account Kobe, who I'd talk more trash about but (a) he's an all-time great player and (b) I'm afraid he may come to my room go all vampire on my jugular with his insane under-bite.
Call me a hater if you want; I'm unapologetic about my loyalties and my loathing. It may be petty of me to cheer so hard against a team, but I'm honest enough to admit that a lot of it stems from knowing my team has no chance of being a title-contender anytime soon (unless a scientist can clone circa-2009 Brandon Roy or someone finally teachers LaMarcus Aldridge to use his left hand. Maybe he could do some Mikan drills?).
Blazers fan? Head over to Rip City Project for more Blazers coverage.

These days, everyone is quick quick to throw the word "hero" around, but when you meet someone like Laura Pita, you remember what the word is all about.
She watched her mother wage a valiant but ultimately losing battle to cancer. At the same time, she learned her 7-year-old son, Josh, had leukemia.Laura says she wasn't just knocked back on her heels, she was knocked flat on her back.
Josh was diagnosed the day before Thanksgiving and by February or March, he was starting to feel better. But then in March, she learned her mother was terminally ill. She then passed away in April.
Between her son and her mother, she spent a lot of time in hospitals, and she said, frankly, it's boring to spend a lot of time in hospitals. So she started looking for something to keep her busy.
She decided to make a tutu for her niece, and on the day she finished it, her mother, Emmy, died.
She instantly decided to make tutus for all the girls on the cancer floor at the hospital where her son was being treated. When she posted a picture on Facebook, all of her friends immediately volunteered their time and started brainstorming things to make for the boys, too.
In that moment of grief, something wonderful was born. Emmy's Heart is now a grassroots campaign that is helping to bring smiles to children and families in hospitals across the country. Already, there are branches in South Florida (Laura's area), Philadelphia, Vermont and Oregon. Some are run by family members and some are run by complete strangers who recognized the power of this simple idea.
She explains how a devastating diagnosis like this affects the whole family, including canceling play dates for her other three children and stopping family outings since Josh's immunity was so compromised, and why something as simple as a tutu or a cape can bring a much-needed boost of joy to a family.For more information about the organization, visit EmmysHeart.org.

Air Jordan V (5) 2006 Retro – White / Sport Royal / Stealth
Color: White/Sport Royal/Stealth
Style: 136027-142
Release Date: October 21, 2006
Another new colourway of the Air Jordan V 2006 Retros is the White/Sport Royal/Stealth colourway. It is very similar to the White/Red Jordan V in that it shares the same basic colorblocking, but the upper material used was tumbled leather rather than the smooth kind seen on other Jordan Vs. This color combo could be a tribute to Michael Jordan during his Washington Wizards days, but these were seen on the feet of several NBA ballers such as Josh Howard and Michael Finley. via Rakuten.

Shout out to my dear friend Alan Howard for being part of this amazing movement in the 80's! GO UK!
(Source: k9kelsey, via freedomforwhales)
I've had several questions about what people can do to help stop the Dolphin slaughter in Taiji. Here you go!
•GET INFORMED. Learn the what, where, who, and why about this hunt, specially the fact that most of the Japanese public is unaware of it. A great place to to so is with Richard O'Barry's Dolphin Project (www.DolphinProject.org) and his campaign Save Japan Dolphins (www.savejapandolphins.com). Then share this information with your friends and family! It sounds so minuscule, but constant public and media pressure is great for our cause. The more people that know, the better!
•Donate to our non-profit via the website mentioned above. Your tax-deductible donation helps us immensely! We work hard to create a relationship with the Japanese public who are the only ones who have the ability to make direct change. Plus they come with awesome premiums! (https://secure3.convio.net/eii/site/Donation2?df_id=1942&1942.donation=form1)
•Write letters to US Ambassador Kennedy thanking her for speaking up against the dolphin hunt and encouraging her to continue to do so! You can also contact Japanese embassies and consulates asking them to stop the hunt. If you do this PLEASE remain professional, polite, and respectful. Hate-speech, racist comments against the Japanese people, talk of boycotts, and foul language decrease our changes of being heard or making a change.
•Don't buy a ticket to a dolphin show or swim with the dolphin program. This industry is linked to the slaughter. Go one step further, take the pledge not to do so! (http://www.thepetitionsite.com/5/stop-dolphin-captivity/).
•Become a cove monitor! Join us on the front lines in Taiji! It's 18+ and not something to be taken lightly. The application and more information can be found at http://savejapandolphins.org/take-action/taiji-town .
•Watch the cove! Host as screening! (If you're in Texas and you're interested in me coming out to do a talk and Q&A session with for your group, school, or organization please let me know!)
•JOIN US AT OUR PROTESTS AND EVENTS! We love meeting new people and supporting a great cause.
•BECOME A VOLUNTEER! In the Texas area, I do tabling events, school presentations, and other activities to inform the public. Earth day is around the corner and I have some plans in mind, join me! (If you're in a different area and are interested we can point you to the right people!)
For more information feel free to contact me here or via email (firstname.lastname@example.com)!
Thank you so much for your interest and support I look forward to hearing from all of you.

My only one un-replied question is that why my friend's body was carry to another place from bhilai as the death of dignitary was in his residence place. why not his body was creminated in his birth place.

We have lost a great spirit; we have lost a true fighter. We have lost very aggressive but a real peace loving human, a real patriot… Rajiv Dixit.
I am the most unlucky person.
You know why? I heard a lecture of rajiv bhai first time in life, just 20 days before. I didn't know a bit about him before it. And I was always wishing that someone should be in this world who can tell me about myself…who can teach others about their realty…
That he was… only he was…no one can else.
I am missing him with tears of my heart.
Main ummid ki ek kiran ke piche bhaga jivan bhar, anjan isase ki ek suraj tha mere desh me.
Haan vo suraj hi to tha, ummid ka suraj Rajiv Dixit ke bhesh me.
Kaash ki kabhi ek mulakat ho pati us jiddi ladake se. main shaayad apane jivan ki disha hi badal deta…

CFI course complete, interview this week, standards class starts on Monday!
Weeelllp, CFI checkride time. Which means spending more time refreshing the schedule to see what check pilot I get than time spent studying.
Two years to the day after I first had my private pilot certificate in hand, I get accepted into ERAU's CFI/II fast track program. I'm getting there. I'll be a paid pilot soon enough.

Find where the global max and global min of the function occur (on the specified interval).
f (x) = 2x2 + 3x - 2 on the interval [-2,2]
The derivative is
f'(x) = 4x + 3
which is zero when , so this is our critical point.
We evaluate f at all the important places:
The global max of f occurs when x = 2 and the global min when .
