Trying to decipher my SSD performance
I had an SSD sitting around that I put in my new HP Envy 4t. It is a Crucial M4 256 GB. It went in (with part of the bracket removed). Performance was excellent, but I figured I'd be better off getting a thinner drive and giving this one to my wife for her laptop....since it can easily handle regular thickness SSDs.
The drive I bought for me is a Corsair Force 3 240 GB. Now, I know that rated speeds are mostly marketing drivel, but I'm seeing a huge difference in read speeds between the two. Everything else is identical...computer, OS, and even driver versions.
So, is what I'm seeing normal, to be expected, or is something going on with my Corsair drive. I'm getting less than half of the rated speeds.
|My System Specs
|07 Sep 2012
It almost looks like the Corsair is running off SATA II, weird. Even with a Sandforce controller, benchmarking on AS SSD, those numbers should be better. Have you checked for a Firmware update for that SSD?
|My System Specs
|08 Sep 2012
There is an update to 5.03, but there's nothing written about speed increases.
|My System Specs
|08 Sep 2012
It might be worth it to see if that is the problem, depending on how badly you want it fixed.

DeaconFrost , It's the firmware .
Trim does not work on ALL Sandfarce 22xx series controller drives . I have two SanDisk drives ( a 120 & a 480 ) with the same SF controller with the same issues .
It appears that Corsair is the first manufacturer to release the 5.03 based firmware for their drives that fixes Trim . That said I have already read that the 5.03 firmware still has I-O speed issues .
I have been advised by SanDisk that they are not going to issue a 5.03 based firmware for their drives , that they are validating version 5.04 and expect to release a 5.04 version in "about a month" . This deal is a sad story that has been going on for months .

Jones finds home sweet home in Tunica

"Kind of like Elle Woods, I woke up one day and said 'I want to go to law school," she says with a laugh.
At that point, Jones was enrolled at the University of Mississippi pursuing a degree in anthropology with a minor in biology.

|Its been 2 weeks since we broke up. It didn't bother me that much until now. For some reason these few days I been thinking about you none stop. I want to know how you are doing right now and things are going fine for you. I thought I would go clubbing and do all those other stuff now that you are out of my life. I didn't even bother doing anything but just work and playing game everyday. I think I'm used to this time of lifestyle. I thank you you for changing me into this type of person. I became more stable after being with you. I hope that you will do better in your life and find someone that will appreciate you more. I have really bad temper, it would be better off that you find someone else. I really enjoyed the time that you gave me these two years, I would not regret. Thank you very much.
Giving up friends, money and time for you and I get what in return? Its smoking really that bad? Its bad for your health but anything else? I need it for work and for times that I'm stressed. Without a cigarette, would it really be that easy for me to go down there to see you. Where do I get all those energy from after working for so many days? You don't know how hard I work. I already stop yelling at you and stop drinking so much. I changed a lot but every time I make like one little mistake and u will try to make a big deal out of it.
I'm sorry, I know I'm the worst. I hope you can find someone that don't hit you and yell at you. I can't keep the promises that I made to you. I really wished that the person who will walk to the end with me is you. I have grown in this one year thanks to you. Probably because we aren't doing so good right now because the both of us isn't mature enough. I would love to continue this relationship with you when we are older but for now, our future is more important. I don't deserve a girlfriend as good as you right now. I love whenever I go to your house, you give me the warmth that I needed. You do my laundry, cook and give me massage. Thank you for everything. Sorry for putting you down all the time. You are strong, you can go through this. I have never cheated on you in this relationship, I truely tried and gave it my best. I also hope that you really did gave me your trusted. The person that sleep with me and always by my side is you not anyone else.
Don't bring up your boyfriend's or girlfriend's ex. That will never make a relationship stronger but only make it weak. Telling them about your ex will only leave a scar. Best thing to do in a relationship, don't tell them your pass.
I haven't been in tumblr for a while now and I don't remember the last time that I was here. I'm here today to type something that I want to remember that was given to me by someone special. I have a girlfriend, a good girlfriend but I don't know how to treat her right. I regret that I ever been with her and cause her all these pains. Pains thats going to be staying with her for a long time. Couple years ago I feel like a nobody. All I do in the year of 2009 and 2011 is drink. I don't care about my family or anything. Now after I met her, she changed my life. I remember the first time seeing her was at sushiland and I show no interested in her. I don't think she is pretty or anything. I made a bet with a friend to go after her. She was nothing but a bet to me. Now after a year, she meant everything to me. She is my whole happiness and sadness. Whenever she is happy, I am happy and whenever she is sad, I am sad. Probably i like being happy and don't like the feeling of being sad. I always yell at her and get mad at her for being sad. I never try using some sweet ways to cheer her up. Now she left me and I'm all alone again. I have everything in a second and lost everything in another second. I want to be back with her but I choice to leave. I don't want to hurt her anymore, I don't want her to be depressed. I want her to become happy and find someone better. She have something better to do, I don't want this relationship to also affect her college. I told you that I was fine but I feel really painful right now. I really wish you could be by my side. I love you. I truly love you. I hope you forever happy. You will always be in my heart.
Spring break was just fill with tears. I got an answer from SD that she will go to prom with me and then the next day later she said she can't go with me. I got mad at NT for not coming out and hang out with me. She can't blame me, she told me to come pick her up and I stole my dad's car to come get her. She lived like 15-20 minutes away from me and when I got there, she don't want to hang out no more. What BULLSHIT, I think we're better off as friends because when you like someone no matter how busy you are, you will find time to hang out with that person.
Went to the Casino with Tony, Jason, and Joe. I was happy for the first time losing money :) I actually can control myself and not as addicted as I was before. After casino we went to Denny's for some strawberry lemonade and pancakes. We were having a contest see who could eat an drink more -_- I only ate 2 pieces of pancakes and drank 3 strawberry lemonade. I was texting NT at that time see if she is asleep. I was so tired that night but I was manage to talk to her until 4:30am so crazy……I missed the time that we used to talk, hope everything would go well between us :)
Today was a pretty good day :) walked to SD's house and went to school with her. I think she is really pretty today, so gorgeous ^_^ In my mind I kept on thinking should I ask her to prom :) we would make a pretty good couple because she is shorter than me :) But it seem like I got stuck in the best friend position -_- Skipped the day with Tommy, Shiya and Zhida. It was awkward watching Tommy and Shiya kissing, making out in the back of my car. I decided, I'm not gonna skip with them ever again. I came back and went into mrs. B's class to see NT. She said I look older -_- I said because you haven't seem me lately, we should hang out. She said ok…… I was freaked out because usually she'll tell me maybe or no. Day was excellent until I saw ML at work making me wanna FML -_-
I almost had you completely erased from my mind, WHY WHY WHY you need to appear at my work place today…..I hate you, why you give me this guilty look like I did something wrong. Is not my fault, is all YOU!
SD don't have a date to prom yet…I can ask her to go but I want to ask NT. If NT say no when I ask her, I don't want to go ask SD. I don't want her to be the second choice, she deserves better than that. I really want to go with you NT but I dunno what you been up to lately. We haven't been texting, haven't been talking -_- Have you found someone that make you feel loved yet? FUCK THIS I'M ASKING NT FIRST!

Apr 26, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. questo gioco è molto sopravalutato sia per il fatto portate che sono le scelte morali vengono trattate in maniera molto fine a se stessa, nelle fasi di gioco basta comportati come fosse uno sparatutto come tanti e non solo il gioco premia questo atteggiamento e cosa più seccante e che a un certo punto nell'avventura ti vengono sottratti tutti i chip potenziati cosa che ti fa capire di aver sprecato solo tempo a potenziarti e con questo penso di essermi sfogato abbastanza suquesto gioco fin troppo sopravalutato… Expand
Mar 14, 2014All i can said about this game - horrible! Square Enix lied to customers when said that they gonna make better version of decent game and they failed hard. Director's cut my tonsils. Boss battles is impossible, it's like a burn a water down. Missing link is not missing at all. And that stupid controls... Ah! I threw DE:HR in garbage can after 5 damn hours of walkthrough. Do i got some fun playing this? No more than eating salt cabbage.… Expand
Feb 16, 2014I will admit, this game is not perfect, but it is damn close to being so. As someone who played the original Deus Ex: Human Revolution on PS3, the new additions and changes made to the game just make it a much better experience. After the first boss in the base Human Revolution, I was blown over by the sudden switch to full-on combat when I was playing a stealth game. Director's Cut mitigates this by adding stealth and ranged options to the boss fights, making the game much more streamlined.
Porting the game to the Wii U was one of the best ideas. The inventive use of the Wii U GamePad makes the game just that little bit more interesting, especially the hacking mechanic, which can now be performed much more quickly with the touch screen. The only criticism I have is the choice to show the sniper reticle on the GamePad, which can sometimes be slightly awkward to use.
The game also has some minor framerate issues in the opening movies, however but for its flaws, Director's Cut is a fantastic update to the brilliant game that was Deus Ex: Human Revolution.… Expand
Feb 2, 2014Looks pretty, but its kinda difficult to appreciate that when the controls are horrendous! Very close to being unplayable. Do yourself a favor a buy it for the pc. Just another **** for nintendo to desperatly make some money of wii u witch swansong is already playing loud.
Jan 13, 2014This game is outstanding, the graphical style is fantastic to look at and you will often find yourself looking at the views when you are in tall buildings. The gameplay is some of the best I have played in this genre and the augmentations (character upgrades) really change the way that you play the game and approach different situations of which there are many options. The storyline is very compelling and has some real life undertones to it. The sound is also very good and suits the sci-fi nature of the game well.
There are many weapons in the game which are all really fun to use and can be upgraded too with things like explosive bullets and laser sights etc.
The hacking mini game is also one of the best ones I have seen in a game and is really satisfying to unlock areas and find goodies inside. The wii u game pad also makes the hacking more fun and adds new elements to the game. The ability to hack robots and turrets to turn them against your enemies is also super fun.
I would strongly recommend this game to anyone who likes sci-fi shooters/stealth games because this is one of the best ones around and the wii u version is the best version because of the added game pad functionality.… Expand
Nov 13, 2013Buying a wii u, I wasn't THAT impressed by the sound and design, but my all time fav- Pikmin 3 was beautiful. Now, Deus Ex Human Evolution- my fav game on pc is on wii u! I picked it up- a little pricy but brat altogether. IAM NOT KIDDING THIS GAME IS SO EPIC. the graphics are epic, the sound acting is awesome. The physics are brilliant. Must Buy dudes. Must buy.
Oct 29, 2013The definitive version of a great game. The director's cut on Wii U features improved boss fights, awesome gamepad functionality (hacking on the gamepad is so much better), the missing link DLC and greatly improved visuals. However, the game still feels a bit old I think the stealth mechanics in newer games like Splinter Cell have spoiled me a bit as the mechanics here feel clunky in comparison. Still the upgrade system is great and it is really fun to try scenarios from various different approaches to see which works best. Definitely recommended to ppl who haven't played it before but not much new for ppl who have. Still, it's the best version of the game and it is worthy of your time if you are planning on playing it through once more.… Expand
Oct 25, 2013The game play overall was average. There was nothing new there. The IA was ridiculously stupid and horribly programmed, an example of this was when I threw a cardboard box at a team mate and they shot me.
This game is not worth your money and you should avoid it.
Oct 24, 2013Players will get to relive Adam Jensen's saga in a whole new way. Expanding on the already critically acclaimed game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the Director's Cut introduces superb second-screen support, reworked boss battles, improved assets and seamless integration of the Missing Link DLC within the main story. Deus Ex: HR itself has an already wonderfully built world complete with a plethora of characters and deep mysteries to them. What the studio has done is truly Deus Ex compared to other modern re-imaginings have done to classic franchises. This game is truly a "modern classic" in my opinion and what this re-release does is improve upon that perfection.… Expand
This review contains spoilers. With improvements to the game's flow and excellent second-screen support, the Director's Cut of Human Revolution is the definitive version of an excellent game. Human Revolution would bear replaying even without the enhancements it's a rare title that combines superb world building and storytelling with such dedication to player choice. I lost myself in the world of Human Revolution, and relished every opportunity to dive deeper into its mysteries.… Collapse

Feb 13, 2014The better, albeit still a bit rushed, version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Finally the bosses are on par with the rest of the game. [Jan 2014]
Dec 24, 2013I found Deus Ex to be very entertaining overall, but the lack of consistency with the first and third person camera angles, and the poorly conceived controls, do take their toll.
Dec 16, 2013Human Revolution respects how you like to play games and is good at all the things it attempts, from the stealth to the shooting to the RPG systems.

Do you use sunscreen?
Thanks to our growing awareness of the damaging effects of the sun, the sun protection industry is booming. But have you ever wondered why there are so many different types of sunscreen on offer?
The answer lies in "market segmentation" – dividing up the market for a product into groups of people with similar needs, so that these needs can be addressed in a focused way.
Initially, sunscreen was marketed according to skin type and climate. But as the industry grew, companies targeted different segments of the market according to gender, age, and attitude… hence the wide range of products available today.
This article looks at market segmentation, and how you can use it to promote your product or service more effectively.
Market segmentation is a strategic approach that helps you offer a highly tailored service to people in your market. As such, it helps you boost sales significantly and command a higher price from customers.
Returning to the sunscreen example, market research revealed that a person's attitude to the sun has a significant influence on the products they buy. Sun avoiders typically buy little or no sunscreen, because they are conscientious about staying out of the sun. Careless tanners, on the other hand, avoid sunscreen, or buy products with very low level protection, because they believe that sunscreen will prevent them from getting a tan.
Through market segmentation, the sun protection industry targets these two very different attitude groups with very different products and messages.
Segmenting your market in this way helps you to meet all of your customers' needs, and even if you're selling the same basic product to all segments, you can often develop packages of add-on products and services for different groups.
For example, if you're promoting a computer to home users, you might bundle it with family-friendly games. But if you're offering the same machine to small business users, you might bundle in a wireless headset as a bonus, instead.
In many cases, marketers intuitively understand what their market segments are. However, a formal analysis is useful to help ensure that you don't miss out a significant group.
You consider how to segment your market once you have chosen the scope of your target market.
When you've decided how you want to segment your market, you can then design an appropriate marketing mix for each segment.
Market segments must always be distinct from each other yet the people within each segment must be similar in relevant ways.
Using a different computer-related example, computer-games players want machines with high-quality graphics and fast processing times. Graphic designers, on the other hand, will look for a machine that can handle large graphic files and let them switch between design applications quickly.
In reality, it may be possible to meet their needs with the same product. But, because you should always focus on benefits rather than features when promoting a product, these two groups should be treated as different market segments. You'd emphasize the computer's games ability to one group, and its graphic design capability to the other. (With a more developed approach to segmentation, you'd develop specialized products for each group.)
This basis for segmentation means that the individuals with each group have similar needs. It doesn't matter if some of the games players play one game and others play another, as both games require the same computing features.
Keep this idea at the forefront of your mind all the time when you're deciding how to segment your market.
Market segments should also be:
Segments that represent small proportions of the overall market are known as niche markets. Niche marketing is generally the most effective when the product price is very high, or when the market is very large (here, a segment representing only two percent of the total market may be big enough to sustain a good-sized business.)
There are four common bases for segmenting your market:
Looking back at the sunscreen example, we can see that marketers segment on the behavioral/psychographic basis of attitudes towards the sun.
However, you can segment at more than one level: marketers would almost certainly want to create different ads for different countries, featuring people from those countries. They may also want separate ads for the male and female sub-segments within each geographic segment.
Although market segmentation is most commonly applied to consumer product marketing, non-marketers can use it too.
For example, you might want to promote your ideas or projects within your organization. If you want to push through a new initiative, you would emphasize the potential cost savings to the Finance Director; stress how it should help reduce employee turnover to the HR Director; and show the supervisors who report to you how it could reduce their administrative workload.
Market segmentation involves splitting your target market up into clusters of people likely to respond in a similar, positive way to the marketing mix presented to them.
The main ways of segmenting a consumer market are on the basis of geography, demography, psychographic factors and behavior. To be worthwhile, market segments should be accessible, measurable, substantial and viable.
Market segmentation aims to make your marketing more effective, and it can also help you serve your customers' needs better. And by applying its principles within your organization, you can better "market" your ideas and increase the likelihood that people will be interested in them.

Taxi To The Dark Side
The film begins with the story of Dilawar, a 22-year-old taxi driver from rural Afghanistan with no known affiliation to terrorist organizations of any sort, who was never accused of any crime. Picked up by U.S. forces and imprisoned at Bagram Air Base on December 5, 2002, the young man was found dead five days later, his legs beaten so badly that they would've had to be amputated if he had lived, his wrists chained apart overhead, and his death ruled a homicide on the coroner's report. Director Alex Gibney (who also executive produced the Oscar-nominated No End In Sight) wisely allows the horrific tale to unfold via testimony of the people directly involved in Dilawar's life and death, from his friends and the soldiers assigned to interrogate him to the journalists who initially investigated the story.
From there, Taxi to the Dark Side explores the broader issues of U.S. military policy, from similar torturous abuses in Abu Ghraib to the policies of the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, tracking their origins from military grunts all the way up to Vice President Dick Cheney (who famously said that the United States would have to get its hands dirty and work through "the dark side" in order to achieve the Administration's intelligence goals in the war on terror). With each passing piece of documented evidence or first-hand testimony, Gibney builds his case of controlled outrage, insisting that what was once dismissed as the actions of a few bad apples in the military is actually institutionalized torture that flies directly in the face of the Geneva Convention. In the end, all fingers of blame point to the White House and the Pentagon, and the director smartly provides unimpeachable evidence to back it up.
With its damning Abu Ghraib footage, unflinching depictions of torture and somber tone throughout, this gripping documentary is far from easy viewing, but its message remains absolutely necessary. In a country in which our justice system is built on the premise that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, just how far are we as citizens willing to allow our military leaders to go in the War on Terror?

Shatrughan Sinha attacks BJP leadership for paying "lip service" to corruption
Sparks flew at the weekly meeting of the of the BJP Parliamentary Party on Wednesday, with a few MPs criticising the party's "wishy-washy" stand on Team Anna's demands and its Jan Lokpal Bill.
Yashwant Sinha, former Union Finance Minister and MP from Hazaribagh in Jharkhand, reportedly accused the party of not taking up the corruption issue aggressively, thus allowing the initiative to go into the hands of Team Anna.
To the surprise of the leadership — senior leader L.K. Advani was in the chair as he is the chairman of the parliamentary party — two other MPs too expressed their dissatisfaction. The implication was that the BJP was being hypocritical as it had extended support to Team Anna without backing his Bill, putting the party, especially its MPs, in an awkward position. Some of them were "gheraoed" by young men and women, who responded to Team Anna's call to do so.
The party's stance had left MPs unable to answer why the BJP was not supporting the Jan Lokpal Bill, they felt.
Sources in the party said the two other MPs who spoke were Shatrughan Sinha, representing Patnasaheb in Bihar, and Uday Singh of Purnea, also in Bihar.
While at one point Mr. Yashwant Sinha was reported to have indicated that he could even quit his Lok Sabha seat — attempts to contact him were fruitless as his telephone was switched off — he seemed to have charged the leadership with failure to "take forward" the battle against corruption.
The trigger for the anger of these MPs was Mr. Advani's remarks, expressing his worry about the deteriorating health of Mr. Hazare, who has been fasting for more than nine days and appealing to him to end his protest. This was taken as a signal of capitulation.
Mr. Shatrughan Sinha attacked the leadership for paying "lip service" to the corruption issue and making much of it just to attack the Congress without being sincere in eradicating the menace.
Some party leaders tried to dismiss the entire episode as of not much importance as the parliamentary party was a forum at which MPs aired their grievances frankly. It was suggested that these things were said more in anger and frustration than in earnest.
Keywords: Jan Lokpal Bill, Hazare fast, UPA government, anti-corruption movement, BJP

It would do well to utilize the Avtex building for use as a new Police Station. Also, the Morgan Ford bridge is long overdue for an update. Why risk lives if it can be avoided. The main thing I wanted to comment on though is the South Fork Bridge Park and Ride. How anyone came up with that idea is beyond me. What a mess that would be!!!!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Was not very impressed with this school. The teachers seem willing to try and extremely new and inexperienced. The front desk needs an overhaul. Totally detest seeing the front desk staff who are anything but friendly. Especially the one we encountered. I think she is Brandi. She needs a lesson on people skills. She will smile at her select families. The rest of us get the cold shoulder. Glad this school was temporary and we will be in our zoned school next school year.
awsome!. All teachers have great knowledge and engagement with the parents. The principal and assisting principal have a lot of experience.
Excellent school all around. The teachers work hard to ensure student success and the staff were pleasant.
Sadly, our family has had some less than professional experiences with members of the staff at Sem Elementary. We are sorely disappointed.
Sem Elementary has a highly qualified group of teachers. They have high expectations and find time to foster each child's creativity. I like that they use a lot of hands on activities for learning. And as an elementary teacher myself I feel good about the education that my kids are receiving.
my childern went to this school, it was one of the best times in thier lives,the staff was great.... one of my kids was in specials classes.. send your kids if you get a chance!!!!
Sem has some of the best teachers and staff! My son is confident and is being well prepared for the future! I moved outside of school boundaries and I drive my son every day even though there are two closer to me. Why compromise on quality when you can get to the best? Sem is definitely the best!
Our experience at SEM has been encouraging. The teachers and administration care about the kids and put a lot of time and effort into lesson planning and delivery of lessons. (As a former teacher--I thoroughly appreciate this.) The kids are happy to come to school and leave feeling loved! My son lives with Asperger's Syndrome, and as such, has special needs in the classroom. His classroom teacher has been phenomenal and the support staff is amazing. I'm pleased with how well the transition to a new grade level has gone this year. While both the Principal and Assitant Principal are new this year, they are dedicated and enthusiastic. They love kids. As a member of the PTA, I must say that the President is beyond GREAT. She is welcoming and helpful and always puts the students first. Great things are happening at this fantastic school; I love SEM!
New leadership has Sem going in the right direction. After meeting with the principal and ap I know that they are setting the stage for a positive, caring, learning environment.
We have been at Sem since it opened and love the teachers the administrators and everyone in between. The new Principal and Vice Principal are such a wonderful addition to the SEM family. My 2 children cant wait for Monday morning to go to school. The teachers have such creative and fun ways to teach the children its amaizing to see how much my children learn every week.The open communication between parent teacher and administraion is refreshing. The PTA truly cares for the students and staff and the PTA board works dilligently at getting the school to work together. I look foward to having all my children attend SEM in the years to come. Its a great neighborhood to live in with a great school.
Sem is an excellent school with a great staff!! I feel that the teachers are very caring and work hard to make sure that all of the kids receive a great education. The PTA is really wonderful and does so much to ensure the students have exciting events throughout the school year! The atmosphere at this school is extremely friendly and welcoming to everyone!!!
Overall I like Sem and there are many good teachers there, but I have had some negative experiences with this school. The pta leadership is very clickish and some teachers do not like there instruction style at all questioned
This is my child's second year at Sem and the experience has been fair. On the surface evrything appears wonderful but in actuality it's not as perfect as it seems. The asst principal is often very rude to parents and some of the teachers do not have have a great classroom demeanor. However, the PTA does a lot for the children regarding activities.
Sem has been a great school for our children! The teachers are all wonderful and they really work well with the kids and the parents. We are so happy we moved into this great neighborhood!
An excellent school. I am amazed at what my son has learned so far in Kindergarten. The teachers, principle, and staff are great. I really love how connected my son's teacher stays with the parents. How also like how they have approached discipline issues. I can't say enough about this school.:)
Great School. Great Neigborhood . Great Teachers. We moved from LA 2 yrs back and we bought a home in this neighborhood. We love the neighborhood.
Being a new school under the leadership of a first time Principal is a challenging job but with all determination, hardwork and team spirit the teachers and students have proved that they are the best. Go Team Sem!
As a first year school with a first year principal, I am thrilled with what I have soon. the teachers are awesome, my youngest loves going to school and my oldest is challeneged. My only concern is the rigidness that the administration uses. I realize they have alot to prove as a first year school, but they are doing amazingly well.
There is too much to say. My child has learned so much in 3 weeks. I am very pleased. Great job SEM!

Holiday Destinations
Another outsourcing opportunity – the Sleepover Suite
August 8, 2006 Any parent who has presided over a girl's sleepover will well know the problems – no sleep, lots of noise and mess, and a totally disrupted home. Indeed, it's one aspect of a child's growing up that is tailor-made for outsourcing and sure enough, it's now on offer. Based on research that shows British parents annually spend over a GBP1 billion on kids' parties, speciality hotel Alton Towers has created a purpose built sleepover suite where up to six friends can hold the ultimate girls' sleepover party. Some absolute "must-haves" for the design included the ability to have very loud pop music, make up and styling products galore, movie marathons plus party food on tap. As a result the soundproofed room features the latest home entertainment systems, karaoke and dance area, theatrical style dressing tables and cleverly designed Chill-out beds which can clip together to make one big bed for gossip sessions! The Sleepover suite pilot scheme opened on July 14 and is priced from GBP300 – not surprisingly, demand is very strong. Image gallery here. Read More
The World's First Mobile Hotel Room
August 8, 2006 If camping is not your go, but from time to time there's an outdoor music festival or some other gotta-be-there outdoor event, take heart – help is on the way. British budget hotel brand Travelodge is exploring the concept of mobile hotel rooms. Each Travelpod is sealed in a 6 x 2.4 x 2.6 metre clear polycarbonate box but inside has features that you will find in any Travelodge hotel across the country. The room comes complete with a luxury double bed, bedside tables, lights, duvet, pillows, fully carpeted floor, dressing table with light, mirror, chair and even its own WC. The concept is being evaluated in a series of soft trials and trials will be opened to customers next summer, targeting festivals and other major outdoor events. It is envisioned that the mobile room will be transported on the back of a lorry to each location and positioned by crane as required. The trial price will match the company's leading room rate of UKP26 per night which makes it an entirely new class of accommodation – wonder if they'll offer a luxury suite? Read More
July 16, 2006 The possibilities of living a geographically unchained lifestyle have never been greater – if you earn your living on-line, the world is now your neighbourhood. Similarly, if you live within your means, it's quite possible to wake up to a different view every morning. Indeed, we suspect that becoming a digital nomad is very appealing to Gizmag's readership because every time we run a story about a clever mobile home concept, Concepts such as the Airstream Skydeck, this converted London double-decker bus, General Motors' mobile home concept, or this ingenious relocatable home it rates like crazy. However none of them have rated as well as DRACO, an expedition class AWD motorhome and we suspect that's because it offers a home anywhere required – all modern conveniences in a wilderness setting. Now there's a similar vehicle for sale that will appeal to many people as their dream home – the aptly named Wothahellizat is attainable for just AUD$350,000 (US$263,000) with everything you need to go just about anywhere you want as long as you're prepared to pick it up in Australia. Built by Australian photographer Rob Gray, it was created with the aim of getting to nice places and staying there for long periods. Built to carry three months of supplies, it can and regularly does spend months at a time in the vast Australian outback and as a 6X6 turbo diesel AWD it gets to better, quieter, and more secluded campsites because it can handle rougher terrain than the average motorhome.

The big, tough, devilishly clever GearTick
June 18, 2006 We're still a bit mystified how a simple plastic suitcase can leap out of nowhere to become one of our favourite gadgets but that's exactly what happened within a few minutes of clasping eyes onto the GearTick. Given that humans are a nomadic bunch, we've probably been thinking about luggage design for about as long as we've been thinking, so how is it possible for a piece of luggage to be so captivatingly clever? We're glad you asked – it's huge, it can be packed indoors and is designed to be packed using every last cubic bazzilionth, it clips securely onto the top of your vehicle in record time, is aerodynamic to save gas, and it has wheels so you don't need to be a WWF contestant to get it to your room at the other end of the journey. Indeed, it's made out of the same material they make kayaks out of, so if it's tough enough to head-butt rocks, it'll probably stand up to the baggage handlers of a third world airline. But wait, there's more … it only costs US$300 and fits most roof racks. Most significantly, it was not designed as luggage. It was designed to fit all the gear you use when boys do those things boys do ... for carrying sports gear and helmets and fishing poles and sweaty riding gear and ... Fortunately, it's big and tough enough to be used for transporting almost anything to almost anywhere. Read More
The Knee Defender must-have travel accessory
June 14, 2006 Anyone who has ever flown airline cattle class will be aware of the problem caused by airlines seeking to use every square inch of cabin space to optimise their profitability – specifically, when you recline your seat, you encroach on the already limited space of the person behind you. More problematic again if you're over 180cm, when the person in front reclines their seat, it can cramp and even hurt you. Now there's a new must-have travel accessory designed to defend your limited right to space in an aircraft. Paraphrasing Oliver Wendell Holmes famous quotation, "the right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins", the company's catch-cry is "the right to recline my seat ends where the other man's knee begins."

May 9, 2006 There's a rule of thumb for sponsorship that for every dollar of sponsorship, a company should spend another dollar promoting that sponsorship. With BMW returning to Formula One, it has backed its ability by creating an incredibly clever marketing device – a fully transportable theme park developed in conjunction with Disney World to explain and demonstrate all the excitement of pit stops, race strategies and team tactics in an entertaining, interactive attraction. Launched at the European F1 Grand Prix at Nurburgring last weekend, the BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park spans 5,400 square metres, can accommodate up to 16,000 visitors per day, and features a 90-metre-long stretch of track, leading to a 25-metre-diameter turning area flanked by grandstands. Yet another example of BMW efficiency is evident in that the park operated until Sunday night in Germany, and will open for business again on Friday in Barcelona to support the Spanish F1 GP next weekend. After Spain, it will have a more leisurely pull down prior to opening at Silverstone (UK) for the British F1 GP opening Thursday, 8 June. The park will visit Montreal (Canada), Monza (Italy) and Shanghai (China) later this year to coincide with those Grands Prix. Read More
April 20, 2006 Relocatable housing is a recent concept in the grand scheme of humanity, but nomadic ways have been with us from the beginnings of man. Relocatable homes have captured a lot of interest recently, from fully mobile concepts such as General Motors Advanced Design Group's mobile home, to this Expedition Class 4WD Motorhome and at the extreme end, the Red Bull Energy Station (makes mobil homes previously described as palatial seem like mere gazebos) through to fully relocatable homes such as Tom Chudleigh's Free Spirit Sphere and Marcin Panpuch's future house. The miniHome is different to anything that has been before though – it is designed to be ultra-energy efficient, so you can live off-the-grid with a negligible environmental footprint – anywhere you can get with a truck. The miniHome is a four-season dwelling providing a healthy, warm and comfortable environment in a wide range of climates, using only the energy of the sun and a very modest supply of either propane or biofuels. With passive solar heating and passive cooling, its own power utility, waste treatment center, and rainwater collection system, it uses some of the most efficient technologies available. Whatsmore, it is very easily relocated and turned into a modern, go-anywhere home with almost all modern conveniences. The miniHome is a totally new concept in home design which debunks the myth that living efficiently means giving up style and modern conveniences. One of the key advantages is that the homes are so cost-effective and efficient; they're much cheaper to run. Living well can be very frugal. Read More
Double-decker living
April 10, 2006 Double-decker buses have long been an iconic part of daily life in Britain, changing their look every few years, but always providing a constant service. Now an innovative concept from Double Decker Living is aiming to deliver a much needed alternative in temporary living space that is tailored to meet the ever increasing demand for comfortable, value for money, short term accommodation that exists within cities. Each bus has been designed to accommodate areas for sleeping, eating, dressing, showering and relaxation. A communal lounge/dining area downstairs has comfortable sofas, a table, a state-of-the-art LCD TV and a DVD player. There is a full service kitchen that features a fridge, hob and microwave where meals can be prepared. Read More
The remarkable Pan-Himalayan Railway
One of the world's greatest railway journeys is set to open in 2007 with the news this week that the Pan-Himalayan Railway has been completed, taking the title of the World's highest railway from Peru's Andes Railway. The first section of line from Xining to Golmud, began in 1958 and was finished in 1984. The second 1142 kilometre section, which completes the planned 1956 kilometre railway from Xining in Qinghai province, to the capital of Tibet, Lhasa was finished last week at a cost of US$3.0 billion. At its highest point the railway is 5,072m (16,640ft) above sea level and runs across the "roof of the world" with 960 kilometres of the journey above 4,000 metres. Carriages used on the journey will be sealed like passenger aircraft to protect passengers from altitude sickness and workers constructing the line had to breathe from special oxygen bottles.

World's largest bridge to connect Italy and Sicily
The long-standing project to build the world's largest bridge between Sicily and mainland Italy has cleared one of its final remaining obstacles and now seems certain to go ahead – the announcement of the winning tender by the Italian construction company Impregilo was made late last week. Impregilo will begin work on the project next year and is expected to finish construction of the world's largest bridge by 2012. The 3.8 billion euro bridge will cross the Strait of Messina with a single 3300 metre central span, eclipsing the current longest span of the Akashi Kaikyo bridge in Japan (1991 metres) by two thirds again. The bridge's total length will be 3,666 metres, with a deck of 60.4 metres, six traffic lanes, two service lanes and two railway lines. The bridge's statistics dwarf all of the World's Greatest Bridges. Read More

Claude Julien has 'no update' on Patrice Bergeron injury in Game 4 win over Flyers
|05.07.11 at 1:04 am ET
Patrice Bergeron took a hit from Philadelphia's Claude Giroux with 17:30 remaining in the third period of Friday's Game 4 win over Philadelphia. He did not return and his status for the start of the Eastern Conference finals against Tampa Bay is unknown at this point.
While the Bruins didn't release any information on the particulars of the injury, it appeared that Giroux's shoulder made contact with Bergeron's head. Bergeron slowly skated off the ice on his own power to finish his shift but didn't return.
"I don't know. I have no update for you guys right now," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "Basically, I can't give you anything more than that."
Bergeron leads the Bruins with 12 points in 11 playoff games. The Bruins will play Games 1 and 2 at home this week against Tampa Bay, with the series possibly starting Tuesday or Thursday at TD Garden.
Chris Kelly stepped up from his third-line duty to center the Marchand-Recchi line for the remainder of the third period Friday.
"We talked about this morning, somebody asked me about different scenarios, and Chris Kelly is a very reliable player, a lot like Bergeron," Julien said. "And a great two-way player. He as put up some decent points and he has also been extremely reliable defensively. So it's an easy fit there and even Soupy [Gregory] Campbell has been a good player for us as well.
"He competes hard and very reliable. So you are able to move guys around and know they are going to do the job. And we've talked about our fourth line being a good line for us. And they have been good enough, to move them up to spots when need be," Julien said. "Dan Paille took a shift there too on one of those lines. You have to be able to move guys around and they did a great job of stepping in and filling in those voids."

Ugh. I have to wash my house. This awful particulate matter sticks to the siding every winter. As the economy recovers and the steel mills get more active it's become more… annoying.
Rita MacNeil died. I was a late convert. I really didn't like her music until I saw her live at a folk festival with very minimal backing. Her recorded output was so badly produced it's kind of infuriating. Still, do you know how good you have to be if you're a 400 lb woman with a cleft palate to earn gold records and host your own TV show? Think about that for a second.
I'm bemoaning the fact that the Dollar Store only carried this gigantic 30oz beer stein for a month. Okay, I only fill it with water but it's still very impressive.

Justin Bieber went off on a woman at a gym in North Carolina Tuesday ... mocking her workout, cussing at her ... and possibly even spitting in her water bottle ... so claims the woman -- but Justin's peeps say it's all BS.
The woman behind the accusations is Colette Harrington -- a NC radio host who claims she was minding her own business, working out at the gym at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
According to Colette, Bieber -- who had a concert in Charlotte on Tuesday -- strolled into the gym with two other people -- one appeared to be his trainer and the other appeared to be a backup dancer or singer.
Colette says she approached Bieber and asked for a picture, but JB said no.
She says she continued working out, but then heard Justin and his posse mocking her workout routine.
Colette explains, "I always count out loud my reps. Then Justin starts imitating me and whenever I'd get to 20 he and his buddy would say 'Shut the F'ck up.'"
Colette says she ignored the group -- but claims they continued to mock her as she counted out her reps.
Then, according to Colette, someone ... and she thinks it was Bieber or someone in his group ... SPIT blue Gatorade into her water bottle while she wasn't looking ... and she actually DRANK the spit-orade.
"I did not look at my water bottle before taking a drink."
Colette says she filed a complaint with the hotel after the alleged incident. We reached out to the hotel, but they wouldn't confirm or deny her story.
Now, Colette says she's going to sell the spit-filled water bottle on eBay and plans to use the money to upgrade the kitchen at her local Ronald McDonald house, where she volunteers.
Bieber's rep tells us .... the woman is dead wrong. Justin and his trainer were in the gym, and they were making snide comments to EACH OTHER but absolutely NONE were directed at the woman.
It's called an image transformation. He can't be a squeaky clean teen idol forever. Jail time and some baby mommas can't be far in his future.
Leave the Beebs alone he's embraced thuglife!
There is a way to find out if it was Beibers spit or not. Take a swab test. Also, there were no security cameras I assume.
You should respect others and keep your counting to yourself at the gym you nutty chic. You're obviously always trying to get attention and now you know it's rude AND what men think of you. Get a life.
JB is on a downward spiral, his not what he once was, his going through his teenage years a bit later in life - money, attention... he will bring his die hard fans down his path to distraction hopefully he doesn't die in the process (27 club) causing an increase in sucide.
Bieber is such a brat, no one who has cross paths with this kid has anything good to say! Money gives power, and power makes you think you're better than anyone else, sadly, his "possee" is only there because he has money, he's a jerk and everyone is starting to see it. Very few canadians actually like him, which is why he's booed everywhere he makes canadian apparences...
Regardless if true or not, this kid is shaping up to be a major douche. He won't be adorable forever, and it seems to be falling off of him daily.
Too much coddling, too much money, too many friends. He'll be another Edward Furloung in a few yrs. at ths rate.
I SWEAR !! Bitches always wants to get attention ! I'm Pretty Sure this is a lie. Pss SMH., I mean who counts all loud in public Anyways __- Bitches just want $$$$$
I call BS. So many pathetic woman nowadays looking for fame, they'll say or do anything.
That boy is so fine he could spit Gatorade directly into my mouth.
That boy is so fine he could spit Gatorade directly into my mouth!
Just to name a chosen few, after observing the Kardashians, their mother, Katt Stacks
well it sounds like someone needs to knock him off his Lip-Syncing horse.......FROM THE BIG UGLY INTERNET RADIO SHOW (www.kinetichifi.com)
Ppl in the public eye have far more to lose then those who aren't ..and those who aren't in the public eye have far more to gain corrupting those in the public eye. Unless it was about Katt Williams, I'd stick w/ logic & I wouldn't believe sh-t the latter half says lol

ORCHARD PARK, NY (WKBW) - Today, the Erie County Sheriff's Office announced that 28-year-old Robert Hopkins was arrested in connection to an incident at Ralph Wilson Stadium Sunday afternoon.
Hopkins was seen sliding down a handrail in the 300 level when he fell into the 200 level, injuring a 29-year-old man.
Since the incident, Hopkins was fired from his job as Interactive Art Director at Eric Mower and Associates in Buffalo.
The Buffalo Bills have also barred Hopkins from the stadium for life.
Hopkins was charged with Assault and Reckless endangerment, both class A misdemeanors.
The victim hired attorney Charles Desmond to explore legal options.
Desmond said his client does not want his name released.
"He did not see it coming," said Desmond.
"Didn't know anything about it. Said it felt like a ton of bricks. And the first thing he remembered on the flat board with the paramedics carrying him out of the stadium."
Desmond said his client suffered short-term memory loss and cannot recall much about the incident.
"Well his primary complaint is cervical or neck. He was told he may have compression fractures or herniated disks," Desmond said.
"That's why he went to see neurosurgeons today at ECMC to further look into the reports and films and see what other additional tests or studies need to be done to figure out the treatment."
Desmond said his client's neck is wrapped in a brace to prevent the possibility of further trauma.
Hopkins will be arraigned December 3rd in Orchard Park Town Court.

There is no word today being leaked that any of the named plaintiffs are holding out signing the possibly new CBA for their own greed. No 10 million dollar this or that and no mention either of the 320 million that yesterday and last night seemed to dominate the newswires. Either the players never asked, rescinded, or the owners gave in. Today it's entirely something else.
Jeffrey Kessler.
Kessler is lead attorney for the players and in reality has been seen as more into this labor situation for his own benefit than that of the players he was hired to represent. On two occasions, DeMaurice Smith sent Kessler our of the room during negotiations. So is it any surprise that when the players and owners should be saying "yea" or "Neigh" that Kessler's name once again pops up? It's even sadder that NFL fans should even have to know who Kessler is.
Most of today's hold-up surrounds Kessler's insistance that a new NFLPA union can not be reformed for at least two weeks. It's also being reported that Kessler is speaking with some of the players and the fear is he is advising them not to opt for a re-certification. Something that would not allow this CBA to move forward or the NFL to accept. If the union does not reform, then all deals are off and the lockout will remain in place until a judge orders the NFL to lift it.
For now, it seems more and more likely that at least one pre-season game could be on the chopping block. Hall of Fame organizers have said they expect a decision by tomorrow. I suppose that was when everyone else expected a new CBA today.

Photo by Laura Mushrush Record-setting cattle prices, a projected bumper grain crop on the horizon, moderation in grain prices — for cattle producers, the opportunity to fully maximize profits has finally arrived.
"In all the years I've been doing this, I've never seen a more perfect storm brewing for huge profitably," says director of MFA Health Track operations Mike John. "With the cattle supply shortage combined with the feed-cost situation, I think we've got a real opportunity to add to our bottom line, building equity in our operations without having to invest in anymore overhead."
For cow-calf producers, a simple preconditioning program can yield substantial returns on their investment. While there are multiple programs producers can choose to fit their program, building immunity in a calf before it is weaned is essential. According to John, taking care of booster vaccinations, castrations, dehorning and similar practices while the calf is still on the cow greatly reduces stress inflicted on the calf.
"Giving rounds of vaccinations when calves are still on the cow drastically reduces the stress they're under when you're trying to build their immunity before weaning. Also, teaching them to eat from a bunk and drink from a water tank is important," John says. "When it's time to wean the calves, it will be an incredibly painless operation since they already know how to eat from a bunk, and they're less likely to get sick."
With 25 years of experience under his belt in preconditioning programs, John has seen a vast array of tactics used in different environments. According to him, producers who take care of all vaccinations prior to weaning on the home ranch before selling the calf bring an optimal calf to the market — typically with a sickness pull rate of around 0.3 percent.
On the other end of the scale, producers who don't start the vaccination process until the day of weaning are choosing the most stressful point in a calf's life to start building its immunity and can expect to see a 5 percent sick rate post weaning.
"Both of those strategies, however, drastically reduce health problems when compared to the normal process of pulling a bunch of naive calves together and trying to keep them healthy when they're weaned. I've seen 20 to 30 percent pull rates in that scenario and 5 percent death loss," he says. "This is typically people who buy bawling calves from a bunch of different sources and put them together. Those are very costly processes to build a group of feeder cattle."

New healthy food service concept coming to Corporate
After a couple of years of planning, Fresh Kitchen—a new food service concept that features healthy meals to go—is planning to open its first location at 7474 Corporate Blvd., across from Towne Center and adjacent to Christian Street Furniture, by early May.
The food store will offer over 30 breakfast, lunch and dinner to-go items for a wide range of dietary lifestyles, from vegan to paleo, says Ryan McNeil, who co-owns the business with Chef Daniel Dreher. The menu will feature generous selections of poultry, beef, bison, pork and seafood, as well as an impressive salad bar.
A partnership with The Big Squeezy—which recently opened near the Perkins Road overpass—is also in the works, and McNeil says Fresh Kitchen hopes to capitalize on other such partnerships within the community.
"We are working with a nutritionist to make it more affordable and easier for people to adapt a healthier lifestyle," he says, adding that Fresh Kitchen aims to use local and organic ingredients whenever possible while also keeping menu items in the approximately $8 to $12 price range.
Dreher's creative and diverse specialties will also appeal to the foodie's selective palate. The Paleo's Shepherd Pie, for example, offers a healthy twist on a tasty classic, opting for lean ground beef and sweet potatoes instead of regular spuds.
McNeil estimates an early May opening, allowing for a 60-day build-out necessary to adapt the 1,400 square-foot former Loft 3H—which closed last year—to Fresh Kitchen's needs.
"We're trying to pay attention to the design and colors so it's a good, clean feel," McNeil adds. "We want it to be a cool environment that's clean and well-designed."
Similar food service concepts have met success in big cities like Austin, as well as smaller locations like Lafayette, but McNeil says Fresh Kitchen is the first such retail store in Baton Rouge. It won't be the last, however.
"We actually already have plans to open a second location sort of on the other side of town by Perkins Road," McNeil says. "We are going to do other locations."

UNC just offered heavy UNC lean Nate Britt. Britt is the 15th ranked player in the 2013 class and the 2nd ranked PG. UNC's 2013 class is shaping up to be a big class with one top 15 recruit already committed.
Other than that, Im headed to TCU on Oct. 1 and then I'm going to Texas on Oct. 15. I think thats when they have their first practice so I cant wait to see that. While Im there I might have to get on a track with my boy Myck Kabongo, Haha.
UNC just offered heavy UNC lean Nate Britt. Britt is the 15th ranked player in the 2013 class and the 2nd ranked PG. UNC's 2013 class is shaping up to be a big class with one top 15 recruit already committed.
I'm wondering how Ol Roy is gonna work this with Marshall, Paige, and now Britt...
If Britt, said to be a "heavy lean" to UNC, does someday commit to the Heels, we can perhaps say that Duke and UNC have their "point guards of the future" set, or close to it.
Duke -- (Jr) Thornton, (So) Cook, probably (Sr) Curry
UNC -- probably (Jr) Marshall, (Fr) Paige, (Sr) Strickland
Duke -- (Sr) Thornton, (Jr) Cook
UNC -- (So) Paige, (Fr) Britt, possibly-but-unlikely (Sr) Marshall
IMO, Cook is a future star and Thornton a future captain and first-rate defender. I'd guess Heel fans will find excellent qualities in their future PGs, too.
Paige and Britt playing together is not expected to be an issue.
From what I can tell from checking into him, UNC and Maryland are leaders, and Georgetown in the hunt.
