A little about me...
I'm an educated, open minded man. I'll hold back in some situations but be brazenly assertive in others. I'm generally low maintenance and long for the ease of sharing a loving, intimate relationship where laughter and love dominate.
For me, testing chemistry and true compatibility only comes with proximity. Reading a profile may help the initial winnowing but meeting each other opens us to our full presence. The sound of a voice, a gesture?? Maybe we bump into each other at the airport we drop our carry on reading. We're both reading the same book. In error I pick up your book and notice that you jot insanely terse comments in the margins. I'm laughing out loud and notice you're sitting in seat 14 F (I'm diagonally across from you). You realize I've got your book. Initially embarrassed, you drift into a gentle smile. Our eyes meet...I'm thinking we should explore these mysteries over a cup of coffee.
Simply put, I'm looking for a good woman; the one that fits me, as I fit her.
About the one I'm looking for...
I, like most, meet all sorts of people -- cat people/dog people. But I'm looking for that special attunement, some resonance. The crucial test is the music WE make together. Will we harmonize and produce some sweet, soulful melody or be screeching some discordant tone? Mystifying. I choose to believe thunderbolts do strike.
I'd just like to add...
I have recently discovered that I should add more to my profile, sort of a "This I believe" section. To that end, I believe a man should: be able to juggle at least 3 balls, play at least 3 chords on the piano and guitar, know at least 3 magic tricks, be reasonably adroit at picking locks, have sampled fine cigars, wines and single malt scotches, parachuted, spent way too much money on a woman (if there is such a thing). Other Matchmen would clearly endorse skiing the blacks, rock climbing, fight clubs and being a member of the hair club for men. This group has its merits, but we can't all be James Bond can we?

Help Please. My son and new daughter-in-law are looking for an on-line printing service for their wedding album. They want control over the design/layout of the pages, and not standard layouts. I would be grateful for any suggestions, of good quality, resonably priced companies, who can provide this service. Thanks
Comes down to price but Albelli do a very easy to use online software service with non standard layouts for around the £100 mark.
If £100 was a target then there are any number of printers who will produce a decent enough album - some will even throw in a leather cover for that money.
The August issue of Black+White Photography magazine has a review of photo-books. They gave top marks to Pixum. They particularly liked the photo paper and the lay-flat pages. They also do a good variety of sizes. Their page templates are described as either basic or quirky. But of course you don't have to use their templates. I've not used Pixum myself but will give them a try next time. The others they reviewed were Blurb, Albelli Bob Books, Photobox and Yophoto.
Of the photo-books I've used, I was well pleased with the one I've just got back from Jessops (produced by Cewe). This wasn't reviewed in the magazine. The photographic paper looked particularly good. But I was disappointed that there were no end-papers. There was a blank page at the end. If I had realised this (it was probably stated in the small print), I'd have left a blank page at the front.
These are basic photo-books, all similarly priced. A problem I've had in the past has been that thicker pages, though they look better, are more likely to separate at the spine eventually. So I'd particularly go for one with lay-flat pages.
I have to photograph a family wedding next month. I've never done a wedding before. The bride want's something more special for the wedding album, so I've been checking out specialist wedding album suppliers. Some won't deal with amateurs doing a one-off like myself. They all seem to offer a similar service. You download the free design software, which has templates which you can use, ignore or modify. They differ in the sort of covers they offer. We've settled on Loxley as a supplier because they get good reviews on wedding photography forums. These abums are much more expensive.
If you've got a computer why not buy some software and you will have complete control of the layout;
I use Serif PagePlus X5
Create the pages themselves in PS, its easy and you get exactly what you want. I create 10X10 Montage and then buy a 10X10 Album and place the pages in. olin
Thanks for the help and suggestions. I'm passing on all suggestions to my daughter-in-law, as she will be doing the designs herself. She works as a designer for a greetings card company so is very capable.

Reasons to Play European Roulette Free
Without any doubt, European Roulette is one of the most widely spread casino games all across the world. Most punters outside the United States are extremely familiar with this game, and even some who live in U.S. prefer to play European Roulette free games than to try their luck with an American Roulette game.

The house advantage is reduced by up to 50% in the European version because there is only one 0 on the table. If you want to win a large sum of money hassle free, European Roulette is the better alternative over its counterpart, the American Roulette.
Even if roulette is a game of chances, you can still win a fortune if you employ the right strategies and you choose the right game. Moreover, if you spend a lot of time with those who are well versed in this game, your chances of doubling your revenues increase exponentially.

It's not too late to save Lake ChamplainAugust 24,2014Conservation Law Foundation photo
Algae on Lake Champlain is caused by runoff carrying phosphorus into the shore waters.One sultry evening late last summer, my husband and I ready for a cool swim in Lake Champlain discovered firsthand the sad and maddening presence of blue-green algae in the lake on Burlingtons south shore.
We were two of many unhappy, would-be swimmers and bathers that evening as we went away without a dip. We were all disturbed and disappointed by what we had seen.
For years, we have been following, studying and speaking out on this very issue. The health of our beloved and life-supporting lake is threatened by phosphorus overloading from runoff throughout the watershed. The nutrient-rich water, warmed by the sun, produces blue-green algae.
Advocacy, when it is informed by and charged with a personal, tangible experience, can be galvanizing. It was for us.
And so it was for a father in St. Albans.
Tim Camisa, a St. Albans native, had a similar experience to our encounter with an algae-laden lake. Taking his kids to swim in St. Albans Bay on a summers day in the early 2000s, he was repulsed by the sight of the soupy green mess where the bright sparkling water of his youth used to be. He resolved to do something about it.
He studied nearly 50 Lake Champlain water quality reports commissioned by the state throughout the past few decades. Many of the reports cumulative 10,000 pages pointed to phosphorus-filled agricultural runoff as a prevalent source of bloom-generating pollution.
After a year of study, it dawned on him: Why not remove the phosphorous before it even reaches the runoff?
Several years later, after exhaustive design, research, patent procurement and capital raising, Camisa and his business partner, Mike Rooney, created a new company called Vermont Organics Reclamation Inc.
VOR buys manure from dairy farmers and makes it into a seed-starter mix that they sell through seed catalogues and to nurseries that grow flowers. Camisa said the process takes up to 20 percent of the phosphorus out of circulation and repurposes it. Its a win-win-win. VOR pays the farmer and in turn is paid by its customers, the phosphorus is exported and the lake is a little better for it.
Strategically located on land adjacent to the Ben & Jerrys plant, VOR has the potential to become a significant employer in the St. Albans community. Like the ice cream maker with a social conscience VORs environmentally motivated startup came about with the help of a public-private partnership.
If Camisa and others firsthand encounters with damaged ecosystems could generate more focused entrepreneurial responses to these stresses, there is hope. But the solution wont come without help from the public sector too.
It is one of the important functions of our state and federal governments to support the kind of activity that will take Vermont in the direction we need to go. Surely, we want the services that a healthy Lake Champlain can provide: swimming, fishing, boating, water to drink, tourism dollars and views to lift your spirits in any season.
The state of Vermont has been willing to spend many millions of dollars during the past decades for the Lake Champlain cleanup and what do we have to show for this investment? We have a lake still in deep trouble from phosphorous overloading.
Public money well spent to provide businesses whose products promote public good with a little leg up on the competition could at the same time generate economic activity and create jobs. Its not a new idea, but it is an effective one.
Camisas exciting business venture is a model and a beacon. The outrage at what we are letting happen to our great lake should spur us to take more personal and innovative measures to find lasting solutions. State and federal governments should be beating the bushes to find entrepreneurs and innovators who want to make a difference as well as a profit.
Hope to see you on bright and sparkling waters again soon.

Angels' Eyes is the first product specifically developed to eliminate unsightly tearstains from the inside out! Angels' Eyes also helps to eliminate staining around the mouth and their coats due to licking.
Other products are topical requiring high maintenance and yet will only remove the tear stains temporarily causing it to return worse than before. Angels' Eyes starts working before the tear stains begin and never adds food dyes or wheat which can have negative effects on your pet. All of Angel's Eyes ingredients are products of the USA.
Ingredients: 100% pure chicken liver, tylosin as tartrate
Guaranteed Analysis:
- crude protein....min.70%
- crude fat....min. 21%
- crude fiber....1%
- moisture....min. 3%
Just sprinkle Angels' Eyes daily on regular food. After 3 months, reduce it to 4 times a week. After 6 months, reduce it further to twice a week.
- Puppies (up to 3 months): 1/8 tsp. daily
- Dogs 2 to 5 lbs: 1/4 tsp. daily
- Dogs 5 to 8 lbs: 1/2 tsp. daily
- Dogs 8 to 12 lbs: 3/4 tsp. daily
- Dogs 12 lbs & up: 1 tsp. daily
As you keep trimming the stained areas, the newly grown coat will be totally clear. The growth pattern of your pet's coat will determine if it will be completely tear stain free anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks.
Angels' Eyes is very palatable but in rare cases they may not like changes to their food and not eat enough. If this happens you can put Angels' Eyes in their water. When mixing, add the water to Angels' Eyes Do not pour the powder into the water.
Angels' Eyes is safe during pregnancy and for puppies over 6 weeks old.

I have terri-poo who's eyes were really bad due to our pomeranian licking her eyes and spreading the brown staining all over her face. This product works to stop the brown (you will have to wait for the existing staining to grow out and be trimmed off.) This doesn't stop the eyes from tearing in the first place, but stops the staining. I must warn you, though, that the "soft chews" are not the same as the granules. (They don't have the active ingredient Tylosin as Tartrate.) Also, Value Pet Supplies offers the large 240gram bottle which is cheaper than buying multiple bottles on other sites. (I've seen three 30 gr bottles which would be 90 grams sold for the same price as 240grams here). (Posted on 6/12/14)

What do you do with a movie that claims it's subverting the whitebread US education system, yet is utterly dependent on tired high-school stereotypes? Give it an `F' and send it to the back of the class, that's what.
Poor little rich boy Kyle (Chris Evans) decides the SAT test he has to take is loaded against him. So why not pinch the answers and make his future golden? Along the way he hooks up with a brain (Erika Christensen), a punk (Scarlett Johansson), a stoner (Leonardo Nam) and a dim basketballer (Darius Miles).
Smash the system? Not this time. This is a film about cheats that leaves the viewer feeling cheated.

Details and Shopping
*By Betsey Johnson
*5" heel, 1" platform
The picture doesn't do justice to this shoes. the beautiful leopard lining makes this shoes so unique. The packaging is so nice!
I got the blue ones and the color is less washed out then its shown on the picture. I usually wear 9.5-10, I got 9.5 and it fits me little bit tight but it's ok. I'd recommend to size up if you want to wear warm socks with them but if you don't you'll have to tie them up real tight to hold the leg in the right position so that there will be some space for toes.
And I really feel like on the web site they look lower than they really are. they look huge. But they look really cool. I'm glad I got them =)"

'Sons of Anarchy' Season Finale Mysteries Revealed, Plus Season 6 News!
And so, yet another year has come to pass in Charming and 'Sons of Anarchy' has lain to rest its fifth season. Requiem, and terra pax, and so forth. But given the heartbreaking conclusion of last night's 'Sons of Anarchy' season 5 finale "J'ai Obtenu Cette," is there any hope on the horizon for SAMCRO? Will either of last night's casualties be able to survive in prison, let alone with the targets painted on their backs? Will Jimmy Smits or Donal Logue return? Answers to these burning questions, and new season 6 teases inside!
Tig's life spared, Big Otto losing yet another body part, and both Clay and Tara headed off to jail made for quite a cap to this season's 'Sons of Anarchy' madness, but where's it all going? Following last night's finale "J'ai Obtenu Cette," series creator and "Big Otto" himself Kurt Sutter proved his own tongue in perfect health by dishing on some of the various lingering mysteries of the season, and where a sixth season could take SAMCRO.
Perhaps the biggest mystery of all lies in Tara's arrest, who prior to that moment had been implied to be free of all charges. Sutter clarified that while it was certainly his intent to have viewers point a finger at Gemma based on her earlier threats, the blame could also rest with a vengeful Lee Toric (Donal Logue), or another party altogether.
As for Donal Logue himself, the actor will appear in 6-8 episodes of 'Sons of Anarchy' season 6, having been signed for ten overall. Less certain is the involvement of Jimmy Smits' Nero Padilla and Billy Brown's August Marks, for whom Sutter certainly left the door open, but acknowledging that both actors have otherwise busy schedules.
Don't expect a major time jump for season 6 either, as Sutter claims the next batch of episodes would likely open a few weeks ahead in the story, the weight of the events still fresh. Ron Perlman's Clay Morrow will certainly still be around as well, despite the price on his head. Much of Clay's season 6 arc will see the disgraced SAMCRO president coming to terms with being betrayed, and ultimately "doomed," though he isn't likely to meet his maker early in the season.
Well, what say you? Did "J'ai Obtenu Cette" (French for Opie's last words "I got this") wrap up season 5 satisfactorily? What are you most looking forward to seeing in 'Sons of Anarchy' season 6? Give us your finale thoughts in the comments!

October 31, 2014
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The lawyer for a woman who Miguel landed on during a leap while performing at the Billboard Music Awards says his client continues to suffer cognitive difficulties and hasn't received any help from the R&B artist.
Vip Bhola represents 21-year-old Khyati Shah, whose head was pushed into a stage when Miguel leaped onto a platform during last month's awards show.
Bhola says representatives for Miguel and the awards show are practically daring him to sue them over the incident. He says he has been unable to obtain information about whether Miguel's leap was a planned jump or a spontaneous flourish while he performed his hit song "Adorn."
Miguel's representatives have said they reached out to Bhola and the singer remains concerned about Shah's well-being.

Energy-efficient living knows no age or lifestyle, according to the Hampton Roads Green Building Council.
If you use a refrigerator, flush a toilet or wash clothes, you can learn how to use less and save more when you take the council's free, self-guided Hampton Roads Solar Tour of more than 20 businesses and homes Oct. 1-2.
"It is now fairy easy to construct a super insulated new house that is energy neutral," says Cuker, professor of marine and environmental sciences at Hampton University.
"I wanted to demonstrate that it is economically feasible to bring an older house to near energy neutrality."
Here are 10 examples of what you can see and learn during the tour and how you can use that information in your own life. The tour features experts who will answer questions at each site.
The Dolan House on 57th Street in Newport News has a rooftop solar system, bought online in 2010, that meets 100 percent of the home's electrical needs.
•You can buy or rent a Kill-A-Watt meter to measure the electricity being used in your old refrigerator, dryer or toaster oven.
A new LEED-certified administration building at NASA Langley features solar power panels that save taxpayers money.
•At your home, install garden lights powered by mini-solar panels or buy a solar-powered battery recharger for household items and toys.
At several houses on the solar tour, watch an electric meter run backward, creating a utility bill with credits instead of charges for electricity.
•Use an online calculator to determine your potential solar savings at http://1bog.org/solar-estimate.
See an electric vehicle charging station and learn about the new generation of electric vehicles that will soon be widely available.
•The next time you're in Washington, New York or San Francisco or many other major cities, try a rental electric car through Hertz, Enterprise and Avis.
See a "green roof," or a rooftop garden insulating a home with wildflowers.
•Start a "green wall" by planting trees, shrubs or vines on the south side of your house to increase shade and reduce your
air-conditioning bill.
Feel the insulation on a super-insulated building and learn how insulation is the first best step of all energy improvements.
•Upgrade the insulation in one room of your home; next season, upgrade another area and keep going until your entire home is done.

Nov. 6, 6pm: Five Years Fighting, Wild Equity's Anniversary Celebration!
09/26/2014 12:33:31
On November 6th, 6pm, at the Eric Quezada Center for Culture and Politics Wild Equity will be proudly celebrating our five year anniversary! That's right, it's already been Five Years Fighting, and we've decided to throw you, the people who've made Wild Equity possible, a party!
Please join us for food, drinks, games, goodies, and most importantly good company! We'll have live music by singer/songwriter Kristin Plater, as well as an outdoor gear raffle and vintage endangered species artwork up for auction at this celebratory end-of-year fundraiser. We'll also showcase what we've accomplished to date, and, of course, show how we intend to keep Wild Equity's momentum growing!

Help Us Grow in 2014!!!

"What do you get out of it? Why do you keep trying?"
The reporter's questions caught me off-guard. I had been expecting to discuss Wild Equity's role protecting the Franciscan Manzanita—a gorgeous plant presumed extinct in the wild for decades, but now on the verge of reintroduction throughout the City. I hadn't anticipated the need to defend my life's purpose.
As my mind considered the questions, I realized that only my heart could answer them. "I get a chance to make the world more equitable, more beautiful," I replied. "I know the odds are long, but thousands of people have trusted in our ability to make this vision reality. When I'm toiling away late at night, pouring over thousands of pages of government documents or pounding away at another legal brief, I reflect on how grateful I am for their support, and it makes all the sacrifices worthwhile."
When the SF Weekly article finally came out, it emphasized Wild Equity's work protecting this miracle plant, and noted that we've won "a number of other high-profile lawsuits in the name of conservation, including this summer's triumph over Sharp Park Golf Course for killing endangered red-legged frogs and garter snakes."
But it failed to note that these conservation victories aren't ours alone. Your contributions—your commitment to our vision, your trust in our staff, your donations to our programs—make each victory possible.

Marin Board of Supervisors Weakens Protections for Salmon
10/31/2013 18:51:02
The wild Coho Salmon population found in Marin is about to vanish. In order to prevent this amazing fish from going extinct, we must restore riparian habitat and prevent destructive development. On Oct 29, the Marin Board of Supervisors ignored the plight of the salmon and passed an ordinance that will end a building ban in the San Geronimo Valley. Read more about this "unusual hearing" in the the Marin Independent Journal.
Join Wild Equity, our partners at SPAWN and 28 conservation and fishing organizations to demand stronger protections for Marin's endangered Coho salmon.

I'm starting this note with two short stories that inspired our work this year. After reading them, I believe you'll be inspired to become a Wild Equity Institute member, so we can continue our extraordinary work.
Recently I returned from a weekend workshop where I discussed the future of the conservation movement with giants in our field—people like Dr. Michael Soulé, the founder of the field of conservation biology; Dr. Holmes Ralston III, a luminary in the field of environmental ethics; and Terry Tempest Williams, one of our great contemporary environmental writers.
It was an honor to simply be in a room with these incredible people. But as the meeting progressed, I was humbled to see that they found inspiration in the Wild Equity Institute's work, and are incorporating our theory of change into a new era of environmental protection and conservation.

Get your Gift Certificate Now for Helping the Snowy Plover!
11/12/2012 12:28:41
During the month of November, participants in Wild Equity's GGNP Endangered Species Big Year can win a $25 gift certificate to the Sports Basement: if they are the first person who records a sighting for, and/or takes action to help, the Western Snowy Plover.
We've lead a trip or two to see this cute little puff of feathers within the GGNRA, but now it's time for participants to conduct the Conservation Action Item for this bird: reduce harassment of the Snowy Plover by leashing your dog in plover areas and/or asking others to do the same.
Off leash dogs are the biggest recreational threat to the Western Snowy Plover at the Golden Gate National Parks. Not because dogs are mean, but because unleashed dogs are much more effective at chasing and disturbing this tiny shorebird than anyone or thing you can find on San Francisco's beaches. Help this endangered species by leashing your dog in sensitive Snowy Plover habitats and asking other people to do the same.
To claim your prize be sure to sign-up for the GGNP Endangered Species Big Year and record your action items and sightings at our website. If you don't record it, it didn't happen, and it doesn't count!

Plover Lovers Take a Hike!
11/12/2012 12:17:30
Thank you to all who came out this weekend to search for, and help, one of the smallest and rarest shorebirds in San Francisco, the Western Snowy Plover. On Sunday, a group of birders and plover-lovers journeyed out to sunny Ocean Beach for a hike, led by David Schmidt, to find this tiny bird in its natural and protected habitat.
It was a beautiful day and a perfect time to find the Western Snowy Plover basking in the sun, but they must have been content hiding among the sand dunes, because we did not spot any plovers this day. However, we were lucky enough to see several Sanderlings, another small wader which, from afar, can easily be mistaken for the Snowy Plover.

11/05/2012 19:26:39
On Friday, students from Downtown High School joined Wild Equity for a trip to Rodeo Lagoon to see and take action to save the endangered Tidewater Goby. This small aquatic species is listed under the endangered species act because of a significant declined in its population, mainly due to habitat destruction and invasive species. The fish is found in only a small portion of its native habitat; it is unfortunately no longer found in San Francisco.
The students learned about the Tidewater Goby's fragile state and took action to help protect the species. Darren Fong, Aquatic Ecologist for The Golden Gate National Recreation Area, gave a talk about the history of Rodeo Lagoon and showed the students the Tidewater Goby with a special underwater camera.

On July 24, 2012, the Wild Equity Institute filed a petition with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ("Service") urging it to change its migratory bird nest policy. The policy encourages destruction of migratory bird nests, which is prohibited by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MTBA). The Service's policy has led to the destruction of countless bird nests since it was enacted, including one of a famous New York red-tailed hawk.
Join us at Sports Basement, 1590 Bryant St. to see this inspiring film, enjoy good company, snacks and drinks!

Flying Frogs and Slithering Snakes!
09/19/2012 18:10:43
This past weekend Wild Equity went frog wild! Thank you to everyone who came out to the film night and to those who hiked with us at Mori Point. We had a great time meeting new people, searching for endangered species, and hiking the beautiful outdoors.
On Friday Wild Equity joined Sports Basement for Film Night. We watched people compete for a chance at the Hop of Fame in JUMP, a frogumentary by Justin Bookey, a film about an unusual Mark Twain-inspired tradition. In the film competitors gather to prepare for the competition of a lifetime, to see who has the farthest jumping frog in all of Calaveras County. The film was effective at depicting the passion and determination of each participant in a comical and lively way. We definitely enjoyed the laughs!
We hope to see you all at our next movie night, October 11, 2012 at Sports Basement on Bryant St from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. We will be showing Pale Male, a documentary about the story of a beloved red-tailed hawk that inspired a sensational movement in New York City.

The Lessingia Blooms in Lobos Creek Dunes
09/05/2012 20:27:49
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday as we set out to help the National Park Service monitor and restore critical habitat for the San Francisco Lessingia. This rare plant was once abundant along the vast San Francisco dunes, but due to years of damaging threats, habitat loss and invasive species, it is now critically endangered.
We helped out at Lobos Creek Valley pulling invasive Ice plant (Carpobrotus edulis), clearing dead debris from the sand dunes and monitoring the species' progress. With the help of dedicated volunteers we counted over 1,000 Lessingia plants indicating that the species is doing well at this site!
After several years of extensive restoration efforts from the NPS, volunteers and interns, the Lessingia numbers continue to rise. This is hopeful news, but because of its exclusive habitat and vulnerability to natural disasters, the Lessingia still needs much more support. Join the GGNP Endangered Species Big Year today and find out how you can help save the SF Lessingia.

Special Status Update: Coho salmon
08/24/2012 13:05:15
The GGNRA Inventory and Monitoring Program is more than half way through its monitoring season for Coho salmon. Unfortunately, it appears Coho salmon smolt (young salmon) are not doing well. At Redwood Creek smolt numbers were 25% lower than expected. At Pine Gulch, a stream in western Marin County, there was a total wipeout: no smolts were counted at all.
This is particularly disconcerting because a relatively large number of redds (salmon nests) were observed last season: it appears some in-stream threat is killing Coho before they reach the smolt stage.
The future of the Coho salmon is filled with challenges, but there is hope to save this dwindling population. Join the GGNRA Endangered Species Big Year and you can help save Coho salmon while observing the animals in the wild. Sign-up for your Big Year today!

The River Whyby David James Duncan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Not in recent memory has there been such a unique and vibrant fictional character a character who could make us laugh so easily, feel so deeply, who speaks with such startling truth about the way we live as Gus Orviston, the irreverent young flyfisherman in The River Why.
Leaving behind a madcap, fishing-obsessed family, Gus embarks on an extraordinary voyage of self-discovery along his beloved Oregon rivers. What he unexpectedly finds is man's wanton destruction of nature and a burning desire to commit himself to its preservation.
Here then is the funny, sensitive, very special story of one man's search: for meaning, for love, and for a sane way to live...a tale that gives a contemporary voice to the concerns and hopes of all living things on this beautiful, watery planet Earth.
"A veritable epic....Moving, rhapsodic in its intensity." Publishers Weekly
"In the company of Catch-22 and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." The Houston Post

Intel officially took the wraps off their third-generation solid state drive, the follow-up to the company's popular X25-M G2. The Intel SSD 320 Series drives, as they are known, feature a proprietary, Intel-built drive controller, paired to cutting edge, 25nm NAND flash memory. The drives also feature a number of security and reliability enhancements and will be price significantly lower than current G2 series offerings.
We're working on our full review of and Intel SSD 320 series drive 'as we speak', but for now here's the official press release to get your juices flowing...
Intel Announces Third-Generation SSD: Intel Solid-State Drive 320 Series
Features Enhanced Performance/Reliability, Larger Capacities and 25nm IntelR NAND Flash Memory
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 28, 2011 - Intel Corporation announced today its highly anticipated third-generation solid-state drive (SSD) the IntelR Solid-State Drive 320 Series (IntelR SSD 320 Series). Based on its industry-leading 25-nanometer (nm) NAND flash memory, the Intel SSD 320 replaces and builds on its high-performing IntelR X25-M SATA SSD. Delivering more performance and uniquely architected reliability features, the new Intel SSD 320 offers new higher capacity models, while taking advantage of cost benefits from its 25nm process with an up to 30 percent price reduction over its current generation.
"Intel designed new quality and reliability features into our SSDs to take advantage of the latest 25nm silicon, so we could deliver cost advantages to our customers," said Pete Hazen, director of marketing for the Intel Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Solutions Group. "Intel's third generation of SSDs adds enhanced data security features, power-loss management and innovative data redundancy features to once again advance SSD technology.
Whether it's a consumer or corporate IT looking to upgrade from a hard disk drive, or an enterprise seeking to deploy SSDs in their data centers, the new Intel SSD 320 Series will continue to build on our reputation of high quality and dependability over the life of the SSD."
The Intel SSD 320 is the next generation of Intel's client product line for use on desktop and notebook PCs. It is targeted for mainstream consumers, corporate IT or PC enthusiasts who would like a substantial performance boost over conventional mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs). An SSD is more rugged, uses less power and reduces the HDD bottleneck to speed PC processes such as boot up and the opening of files and favorite applications. In fact, an upgrade from an HDD to an Intel SSD can give users one of the single-best performance boosts, providing an up to 66 percent gain in overall system responsiveness.
The Intel SSD 320 Series comes in 40 gigabyte (GB), 80GB, 120GB, 160GB and new higher capacity 300GB and 600GB versions. It uses the 3 gigabit-per-second (3gbps) SATA II interface to support an SSD upgrade for the more than 1 billion SATA II PCs installed throughout the world.
Continuing to offer high-performing random read and write speeds, which most affect a user's daily computing experience, the Intel SSD 320 produces up to 39,500 input/output operations per second (IOPS) random reads and 23,000 IOPS random writes on its highest-capacity drives. In addition, the company has more than doubled sequential write speeds from its second generation to 220 megabytes-per-second (MB/s) sequential writes and still maintains one of the highest read throughputs at up to 270 MB/s sequential reads. This greatly improves a user's multitasking capabilities. For example, a user can easily play background music or download a video, while working on a document with no perceivable slow down.
Already one of the most solid-performing SSDs over time, Intel continues to raise the bar on SSD reliability in the way it has architected its third generation, using proprietary firmware and controller, to further demonstrate that not all solid-state drives are created equal. In this rendition, Intel creatively uses spare area to deploy added redundancies that will help keep user data protected, even in the event of a power loss.
It also includes 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard capabilities on every drive, to help protect personal data in the event of theft or loss.
"Solid-state drives continue to be one of the hottest trends in computing," said Bernard Luthi, vice president of marketing, Web management and customer service at leading e-retailer Newegg.com. "Intel remains a top brand because of its consistent performance and extremely low return rate. We are sure customers will welcome the new higher capacity drives, and now is a great time for consumers to upgrade their PC to a fast new SSD."
Intel SSD 320 prices, based on 1,000-unit quantities, are as follows: 40GB at $89; 80GB at $159; 120GB at $209; 160GB at $289; 300GB at $529 and 600GB at $1,069. Check retailers/e-tailers for consumer pricing. All models include a limited 3-year warranty from Intel.
"With recent announcements, we have expanded our SSD product line and now offer both consumers and computer OEMs more SSD choices," said Tom Rampone, vice president and general manager, Intel NVM Solutions Group. "We see the Intel SSD 320 as a solid advancement to our SSD roadmap, and will continue to upgrade and refresh our SSD product line as we add more enterprise options for our business customers throughout the year."
Another benefit for Intel SSD purchasers is the IntelR SSD Toolbox with IntelR SSD Optimizer, a free utility which provides Microsoft Windows* users with a powerful set of management, information and diagnostic tools to help maintain the health and out-of-box performance of the drive. To help ease the installation process, all Intel SSD users can download the free IntelR Data Migration Software to help clone the entire content of a previous storage drive (SSD or HDD) to any Intel SSD.
Intel SSDs can be purchased in the United States from such retailers as Best Buy or Fry's Electronics, plus a variety of resellers, retailers or Internet e-tailers such as Newegg.com or Amazon.com worldwide.
The Price drop is nice.
hopefully the old ones follow suit
Why didn't they make this SATA III?
Prices are starting to get interesting...
these drives are only slightly cheaper than the current G2, with marginal increases in performance and a decline in 4K. I'm very disappointed
Probably because the drives themselves operate at only 270 MB/s tops, and SATA II has enough bandwidth for that (300 MB/s). No point in using the SATA III interface, maybe it might have made the drives more expensive with no real benefit?
I agree with dodgers though: the X-25 120GB is 250, how is 210 for the new one any significant price drop? Now, if the X-25 goes on clearance, that would make people happy. The 320 may have higher write speeds, but write speeds aren't as important as read speeds (at least, from a gaming point of view), an area in which the X-25 and 320 are almost identical.
SSD's are still in their developemental stage, its nice to see a little performance increase and a small price drop but their still lacking in being a stable and buyer/consumer friendly product
Acarzt i think they wanted this to be available to everyone including those with out a sata III port... but i say make another version of us with sata III
dodgers2213 that is exactly what I was saying when they first benchmarked one of them. I think the reason they dropped the price is because they had no choice. Otherwise they would just be giving it to OCZ. Not like the prices are much if any better, and the performance is not either. There are a lot of uninformed people though who will buy the Intel because of last years standing. Also as far as it goes Inspector I am pretty sure SATA3 is backwards compatible like 1 and 2 so that makes no sense.

Container Envy

I have taken to eating every meal I can out in our garden. This morning the chairs and benches were too wet, so I sat on a dry brick step at the top of a covered porch. By lunchtime everything was dry, so I sat in a wooden chair to eat and look around.
With all of the rain this year the oakleaf hydrangeas, planted last year, have taken off.

Two 80-degree days last week brought spring roaring in like a lion with. So much popped out: forsythia,
tulips, grape hyacinths,
Last week Margot Shaw, founding editor of flower magazine, was the 25th anniversary lecturer during Art Blooms at the Walters Art Museum. She spoke about a year in the life of flower, not a plant, but her magazine. A fellow Hollins graduate, I felt lucky to be included in a dinner with her. Read More →
Hello, spring! Yes, it's hard to believe, but it is spring at last. Never mind the snows. Never mind the cool temps. The blooms that opened the first week of spring are all the proof I need that spring is here.
Forget mounds of snow at the edge of parking lots, salt encrusted patches of streets, frost and snow-bitten brown leaves on evergreens: ivy, sweet box, holly, boxwood and Nandina. Plants are blooming. Repeat: plants ARE blooming.
They started in the form of tiny white snowdrops pushing up from the snow then bloomed after the melt, small ones by our front steps and giant ones up the street.
Day by day the color increases. Naturalized crocuses across the lawn of an open lot seem magical, like a spring version of the poppy fields in Oz.
Cool temperatures hold most of the flowers closed, so they stand like battalions of miniature soldiers beating back winter.
Down the street a neighbor planted a witch hazel when she moved in 20 years ago.
Now the size of an ornamental tree, its neon yellow blooms pulsate "Spring!"
Deep purple and yellow crocuses at other neighbors' remind us that Easter is just weeks away.
Their small witch hazel bush is a focal point of the early back garden. Maroon hellebores buds under woody branches of hydrangeas promise the mop heads too will eventually appear.
Likewise, daffodil foliage and buds pushing through brown leaves show that yellow trumpets will soon follow.
Most surprising to me, in this winter-scorched landscape, is deep blue. It jumped out first on vinca vines down a bank.
The next day royal blue chionodoxa blooms appeared nearby.
Equally amazing was an impression of a deer hoof in the surrounding earth, only a block from Cold Spring Lane.
As exciting as every spring is, spring 2014 already feels like a daily miracle.

This is a big week at Cylburn Arboretum. Located off of Northern Parkway, this green oasis is increasingly enjoyed by both city and county residents. In recent years, the Cylburn Arboretum Association has connected nature with art through exhibitions in the Vollmer Center, programs for adults and children and an artist-in-residence program.
Cylburn's first artist-in-residence, Patricia Bennett opens her exhibit of paintings done during her past year there. Well-known as an event painter, Bennett has also produced an impressive series of Impressionistic paintings of the gardens. An opening reception takes place Friday, November 1 at 5:30 p.m. The show continues through the weekend, then November 5-7.
A new effort begins Sunday, November 3 at 2 p.m. with the Arboretum's first book talk and signing. In cooperation with the Ivy Bookshop and Timber Press, author Laura Burchfield will speak and show excerpts from her newly released book American Home Landscapes, A Design Guide to Creating Period Garden Styles.
I've been working to replant the gardens around the 1922 Roland Park house where I grew up and live. Not until I saw the Timber Press book did I realize what a period garden we still have. Essential elements of American, Colonial Revival gardens from 1900-1930 include: symmetry, balance and a central axis, geometric beds, a picket fence, old-fashioned flowers.
In Roland Park, fences were originally permitted only in limited form, never in the front yard, because of the Olmsted design principal of low hedges instead of fences. At our house, however, the second owner was granted an exception to the architectural restrictions, because he thought Cold Spring Lane was too busy. If only he could see it now. Boxwoods were used for the front border, but along the sides and back, he installed brick pillars with sections of square, white spindles in between.
No flower garden was in front or along the sides, just more boxwoods and a long lilac border on the east side and privet hedge on the west. Read More →
I am an unlikely Hamptons-goer. I am behind the times, not a trendsetter. I eschew crowds and expensive cars. I do not travel in the fast lane, yet every summer, I find myself in the Hamptons.
More than a decade ago my college roommate, a scientist, rehabbed a house in East Hampton to be near good kayaking on Three Mile Harbor. Another close college friend has a house in Bridgehampton, where she rides in The Hampton Classic. This year a third college friend from England was going out, so how could I resist?
While I prefer off-season visits, the peak of summer brings a profusion of plants. The light (reflected off surrounding bodies of water), sandy soil, the absence of humidity and the regular rainfall create ideal growing conditions.
Nurseries do a booming business. A must for me each summer is Bridgehampton at Marders, a spectacular nursery and garden center, where even mature beech trees are in burlap balls ready to plant.
This year's discoveries were annual purple laurentia and a big-leafed plant that looked like lambs' ears on steroids.
Of the same family, perennial silver sage made a showy appearance in containers and beneath a tree, next to purple petunias.
Kalanchoe 'Flap Jack' was a star in troughs and pots.
I'd like to find a few in Baltimore for my unused trough. I also want a spot in my garden for fluffy, native Joe Pye weed. Read More →

A cool spring and abundant rain have brought a bumper crop of hydrangeas this summer. Hydrangea blooms are many and huge, and the bushes themselves have grown substantially over the last few months.
On July Fourth we walked into our friends' Roland Park garden, and it was hard to believe that one year ago a derecho had devastated the trees, knocked out power for days, and covered this garden with massive fallen limbs. This year, with tree removal, pruning, and light and plentiful rain, the same space is bejeweled with hydrangeas.

It was a banner spring in area gardens and perhaps the most spectacular in recent memory for rhododendrons. From my own garden in Roland Park to fine gardens in Baltimore and Harford counties, rhododendrons produced huge, almost florescent blossoms and many on each bush.
Our 'Catawba Album' rhododendrons went in three springs ago. Three seems to be the magic number of years for plants to become established. This third cool, long spring, complete with a shot of warm weather, produced the best season of growth and blooms we have had.
This is the same hybrid that is a favorite of Jean and Sidney Silber, horticulturalists extraordinaire. Their 50-year old shrubs produce magical pink-to-white blooms that look like lanterns glowing down their long driveway. Read More →

Blinds Galore was very nice and immediately helped me when I had a problem with my first order. The manufacturer replaced mine because one of the cords broke after only about 10 days. Apparently the raising/lowering mechanism was defective. I'm happy with the overall look, and the color matches my cabinets well. They are quite heavy compared to wood. They do not close very tightly, which is disappointing. However, overall, the price was excellent so the trade-off is worth it.
