Dáil Éireann - Volume 291 - 01 June, 1976
Written Answers. - County Limerick School.
Mr. Herbert Mr. Herbert
105. Mr. Herbert asked the Minister for Education if he is aware of the proposed closure of Rosary Hill secondary school, Castleconnell, County Limerick; and if he will enter into immediate negotiations with the school authorities with a view to purchasing their existing school buildings for the purpose of establishing a post-primary centre to cater for secondary and vocational school students as outlined in his letter of 10th February, 1976 to the school supervisor.
Minister for Education (Mr. Richard Burke) Richard Burke
Minister for Education (Mr. Richard Burke): My Department have recently been informed by the school authorities that they had decided to close Rosary Hill girls' secondary school in Castleconnell as from 31st July, 1977. The Department's letter dated 10th February, 1976, was issued in the context of the continued involvement of the Presentation Sisters in second-level education in Castleconnell. The proposed closing of their school produces a new situation to which consideration will now have to be given.

Medical residents may not get licenses in time
BY MONIFA THOMAS Staff email@example.com February 8, 2013 8:22PM
Sun-Times Library
Updated: March 10, 2013 6:09AM
A fight over funding for a state regulatory agency could strain academic medical centers this summer if there's a delay in roughly 2,800 students getting the license necessary to work as medical residents.
A $9.6 million budget gap forced the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation — which licenses and disciplines doctors — to lay off 18 of its 26 medical unit employees in January. Two competing bills in the state Legislature aim to fill the gap, and pit House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago) and the department against the Illinois State Medical Society.
If an agreement can't be reached to allow rehiring staff by spring, graduating medical students won't get their temporary licenses in time to begin their medical residencies by early July, department spokeswoman Sue Hofer said.
Since the layoffs, licenses for new doctors are taking six months instead of 10 to 15 days and up to 18 months to handle the renewal of physicians' licenses in 2014. The department renews every three years almost 46,000 licenses for doctors.
After they are matched with a hospital in March, graduating medical school students typically have about three months to get their medical licenses so they can be an incoming resident. Residency programs would be severely short-staffed if incoming residents were unable to get their temporary license, said Barry Kamin, executive director of graduate medical education at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine University.
Dr. Cathy Dimou, president of the medical staff at Rush University Medical Center, agreed that it would be "devastating" for medical residents as well as a stress for staffing hospitals, because many of the new doctors who need to apply for a license this year cannot be guaranteed that their license will be processed in time to start work.
"Anyone that we would need to hire to help pick up that slack may be in the same situation if they are new graduates who are unable to obtain a license. The problem will worsen in 2014 when all physician licenses are up for renewal " Dimou said. "Obviously, the more staff is stressed to take care of the patients, the more care might suffer, because people wouldn't have the appropriate staff to take care of patients."
Just as troubling, critics of IDFPR said, is the lack of adequate staff to do a proper job of disciplining doctors. Hofer blames that on the workload increasing while its main source of funding — doctors' licensing fees — has remained the same since 1987.
Two bills are pending in the Illinois General Assembly to try to address these problems.
House Bill 193, which was sponsored by Madigan and is supported by IDFPR, would borrow $6.6 million from the state's local government tax and increase physician license fees to $750 for three-year license. Hofer said the money would be repaid with doctors' fees to be collected in 2014 and 2015.
But the Illinois State Medical Society and others say they're skeptical that the funds will actually be replaced and doctors don't see why they're footing the bill for fixing the deficit, after years of funds for IDFPR being swept out to finance other state programs.
The society instead supports a bill that would increase physician license fees by 67 percent to stabilize operations of the IDFPR's medical unit.
Introduced by Rep. Chad Hays (R-Danville), House Bill 1001 calls for increasing physician fees to $500 for a three-year license (up from $300) and transferring $9.6 million from the state's general fund into the medical disciplinary fund.
Hays argues that the bill is enough to fix the problem the budget issues that the medical society argues were caused by the state redirecting medical license fees for other purposes.
A date had not been set for Madigan's or Hays' bill as of Thursday.
Dimou, who says the medical staff at Rush supports House Bill 193, said, "we would support any bill that passes because it's such a crisis."

Hank Silverberg,
FAIRFAX, Va - There's an ominous sign on the door of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter.
"Alert! We have no cage space for cats. If you surrender a cat it will be humanely euthanized. Please use us as a last resort."
The shelter, part of the Fairfax County Animal Services Division, has been inundated with cats and kittens in recent days.
"Unfortunately that's a reality we had two days ago," says Dr. Karen Diviney, who runs the shelter. "We had only one cage left in the entire building."
Diviney says it happens often at this time of year when people change jobs or move.
"We asked people not to bring in any more cats, but we got seven more anyway," Diviney says.
The shelter also handles dogs, rabbits guinea pigs and other types of animals.
Diviney is advising people who have kittens in the home to keep them with their mother for at least eight weeks and then try to find homes before considering the shelter.
Most animals at the shelter are available for adoption. Adult dogs and cats are spayed or neutered and all have been vaccinated. The fee is $30 and the volunteers and the shelter will do a home visit before an adoption is complete.
The shelter, located at 4500 West Ox Rd. in Fairfax, is open Tuesday through Friday from noon to 7 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Available pets can be viewed online or at the shelter. Those interested in pets can also call the shelter at 703-830-1100.
The shelter also has a list of frequently asked adoption questions.

Hubble offers an insanely clear view of another nebula
Oh, Hubble! How we love the view of distant galaxies you offer us. Up today is the Lagoon Nebula in the Sagittarius constellation. Hubble's taken a picture so clear that you can see every ripple in the nebula's murky starscape.
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched by NASA in 1990, and it's been sitting in Low Earth orbit ever since. It has since spied distant nebulas, supernovas, comets and even comet collisions. It's even helped shed light on the possible age of the universe, and the fact that it could even be accelerating in its expansion.
The Lagoon Nebula as you see it above is a frequent target for terrestrial astronomers for its distinct and beautiful look.

The cottage does not have heat but the owner had the dehumifider on all day before our arrival so it wasn't that cold. When I told her we were from Kona (hot)and wimpy about the cold she gave us sweats to wear - very thoughtful.

We were planning on staying at the Volcano House, but their website was hard to find. What came up in our search was a number of B&B's. we Chose Aloha Happy Place and we are glad we did. We spent three nights there and had a great time. The room was comfortable and spacious. Continental Breakfast came with the room, lots of fresh fruit, homemade breads, coffee, juice and cereal. Joan, the owner was there every morning to greet us and make sure everything was OK. She also grows her own fruit and vegetables as well as raising chickens goats and sheep on her farm, we got a tour of the farm and learned a lot about her self sustaining farm. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The Inn also had a very comfortable library/sitting room where you could go and relax after dinner or after coming back from a hike. WiFi worked great and was free! All in all a great place to stay, only a couple of miles from the park entrance. Would definitely recomend this as a great place to stay.

The house was so charming and warm from years of love and sense of family. Our room was decorated beautifully with everything we needed to be entirely comfortable...including fresh gardenias in the hallway to welcome us. I felt lucky to have been able to experience this wonderful place!

We have stayed at this "Happy Place" 4 years in a row. It's clean, quiet and very charming. Our room has always been a welcome place to end a day of sight seeing. This year we brought our daughter, son-in-law and grandson (9 years). They really enjoyed the experience. If you want a unique place that's off the beaten path to rest your head, this is for you. If you like a lot of fanfare, then this is not your place. Aloha, Mike&Becky P.S. this in doesnt offer food service. It wasn't unsatisfactory,.......the website doesn't let us skip the rating for dining.

Our stay had been hectic but nothing to do with the lovely lady who's running the place. By run of fate we landed in big island on the day hurricane Iselle made a landfall near Hilo ... So we couldn't drive to volcano that night and when we finally made it to the place we spent the night with no power :-) In this kind of unique situation our nice host was still able to welcome us quite nicely (though she didn't sleep much that previous night) and our stay has been quite romantic with candles and oil lamps for lighting. A special thought to the Thai restaurant closeby : really nice Thai food and people and the only piece of hope in Volcano during these post Iselle days without power. Regardless the happy place was nice given the situation and our nice host was gentle enough to reimburse us 50% of the first night where we couldn't make it due to the storm which was a fair deal considering the situation. So if you can avoid arriving on a hurricane day (which is quite likely) this is certainly a very nice place to stay :-)

My daughter and I loved our stay here. The room had two double beds and lots of windows in the corner room and bathroom with a farm view. We were very happy that coats and umbrella's were provided as it was raining when we arrived at the park. When we got home that evening, there was lots of firewood and kindling and cardboard stacked generously for us to have a fire. The had a stereo near the fireplace and we warmed up on the big couch with good music (large selection of CD's) and a warm fire. We had the entire house to ourselves. The next day Joan let us check out late and when we got back from our long hike, we sat at the big dining room table and made our lunch. We felt at home and liked the warm smile Joan welcomed upon arrival, she left a note that she was working in the back, then came in to make sure we found everything OK and see if we needed anything. I would stay here again and my daughter would also. We liked the farm sounds, especially the goats! Great value for the room that we stayed in!!! Very close to the park and the location made things so easy for a 24 hour visit to the volcano! Wish we could have stayed longer! It was my birthday and it was a perfect trip!

Wasn't expecting a LOT but there are some things you need to expect. First of all, Volcano is a very moist environment, and the house/rooms are poorly sealed. You'll notice the musty smell as soon as you walk in the door, and it doesn't get better in your room. My allergies were going nuts the whole time—sneezing and snuffling and keeping the girlfriend up with snores (I don't usually snore!). Second, the house is right next to a farm, which sounds charming until the roosters pop off at 3 am, 4am, 5am, and 6 am. And if it isn't the roosters, it's the cat meowing loudly, the dog next door yelping, or the donkey (yep, the donkey) braying loudly enough to wake you up. Bring earplugs and allergy medicine! All this said, the location is excellent—it's a great launching off point for explorations of Kilauea. Assigned a dining score of 'Met my Expectations' as there is no dining available at the house.
Risposta del proprietario
Yes you are correct, it is damp here with an average of 300+ inches of rain per year- this is after all a rainforest. Hence, expect damp humid conditions and cooler temperatures due to an elevation of 4,000'. This is precisely why each accommodation is equipped with a dehumidifier as well as in the common areas. The house dates back to 1898, yes that's right, it is one of the oldest remaining structures in Volcano rare and filled with history. So therefore, it is not sealed like a vacuum. As far as your allergies go did you not prepare for the fact that there is a volcano about three miles away as a crow flies which leaches all sorts of gas and other debris into the air? More than likely the source for your allergy attack. On days when the VOG is bad most folks living here do not even go outside. Therefore, had you taken this into consideration you would have packed those much needed meds for your condition. And yes, this is a farmstay, so you should have expected farm animal noise. No, we have no donkeys, but we do have 6 horses and offer horseback riding. When traveling its always a good idea to have ear plugs especially when you stay at the luxuriant hotels and have to listen to the elevators "ding" all night long through the air conditioning ducts. Hope this has been helpful to you as well as for other guests.

Muscle Car RewiringMore current for hi-po Sixties' beasts
Muscle cars' popularity never wanes. But as the Sixties become more distant, the high-horsepower cars produced in that era continue to deteriorate. Hot rodders are forever updating and upgrading mechanical components, but they shouldn't overlook the electrical system. In fact, totally rewiring a muscle car with an aftermarket kit can improve both performance and safety: Old, brittle wires can crack or fray and produce sparks, which can ignite an electrical fire. Also, electrical components such as headlights perform best when the wires allow more voltage to flow to them.
Wiring Kits
Several automotive aftermarket companies offer complete wiring kits that are assembled with the shade-tree mechanic in mind. Specific kits for popular cars include the proper amount of circuits for all OE accessories, original-style connectors and plugs, and even cut-to-length wire. For those who want to add additional circuits and update their cars with features such as fuel injection, universal extra-circuit kits are available.
Armed with simple hand tools, a wire stripper/crimper and a spool-full of patience, the accompanying Steps show how anyone with average auto-repair ability can gut and replace a muscle car's wiring. A 1966 Chevelle serves as our model here.
For this job, we chose a basic 18-circuit aftermarket wiring kit. In addition to an OE-style fuse panel and wires, the kit came complete with headlight plugs, tie wraps, an ample supply of crimp connectors, and perhaps most important, an excellent instruction booklet. Individual wires are labeled every few inches over their entire length. Moreover, the instruction booklet clearly identifies, per color (using standard GM wiring color coding), per section, a wire's destination and origin. In addition, complete wiring diagrams are included, making it nearly impossible to lose your way.
Installation Overview
When we evaluated the wiring in this nicely street-machined 1966 Malibu, we found an electric Chernobyl in waiting. When the stoplights would go on, everything else would go dim. Repeated trailer wirings had tangled the trunk wiring harness. And wires and connectors had become as brittle as a Pringle. A total re-wire was in order.
Fortunately, our wiring kit came with all wires pre-connected to the fuse panel, making installation in the Malibu a four-step process:
1. Remove the existing fuse panel, wiring and harnesses.
2. Mount the new fuse panel where the stock panel went.
3. Route the wires in "sections": headlight section, taillight section, ignition-switch section, engine section and so on.
4. Connect the wires, lights, switches, gauges and such.
Before we started, we studied the kit to get a feel for the Section groupings and how we wanted the wires to be routed. Then we read the instructions carefully. This pre-planning avoided any major errors once we began stringing wires. With our Chevelle, we strung the replacement wires along the same routes the original ones traveled.
Basic Wiring Tips
> Tying One On: When routing wires, if plastic split loom isn't used, place nylon ties every 2 to 4 inches to make neat wire bundles. Not only does it look trick, this eliminates the possibility of wires rubbing through the insulation, causing a short.
> Support Group: Never rely on the wire's end connector to support the weight of the wire. Use an insulated metal or nylon clamp to support a wire to stop any vibration that could cause the connection to fail.
> Crimp Connections: Some wiring pros rely on soldered connections protected by a heat-shrink insulation. Good choice, but a labor-intensive one. Standard crimp connectors can work just as well as soldered connections and are less prone to breaking or loosening by vibration. The key to crimp connections is to use a proper crimp tool and to not over-crimp the wire.
> Hole Job: When running wires through a panel, such as a firewall or an inner fender panel, always use a rubber grommet to protect the wires. The knife-edge of a sheetmetal hole can, when propelled by vibration, easily slice through wire's insulation. Also, if a wire or battery cable comes anywhere near a frame rail or potentially sharp edge, cover it with a short length of heater hose or vacuum tubing.
> Take Your Time: Take a slow, cautious approach to installing a wiring kit. Measure everything twice. Double-check all connections. Consult the instruction booklet and wiring diagram often.

Doc Brown: Then tell me, future boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?Ronald Wilson Reagan (February 6, 1911 — June 5, 2004) was the 40th President of the United States, serving from 1981 to 1989. He was the sixteenth from the Republican Party, serving between Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. Reagan is well-known for moving the country to the right politically, socially, and economically, and for his efforts to end the Cold War. Yes, he's the actor who became President. However, many of the jokes about that don't work very well, since, when his political career commenced in 1966, he was only the "former actor who's running for Governor of California". After he vacated that office, he became known as the "former two-term Republican Governor of California who's running for President." People today will more likely know Reagan as the conservative guy who was President in The Eighties. You usually either love or hate him. If you see someone in a film or TV show talking about how great Reagan was, then it's a surefire indication that the character is a Republican or someone with conservative right-wing leanings. Conversely, if you see someone in a film or TV show disparaging Reagan, expect the character to hold mainly left-of-center beliefs. (There do exist Democrats who think fondly of him, known as "Blue Dogs" or "Reagan Democrats", and there are also self-described conservatives who dislike him, mostly for his support for policies that they do not think are truly conservative, such as tripling the National Debt, giving amnesty to over 3 million undocumented immigrants, overseeing the largest peacetime tax increase in American history, and selling military weapons to Iran). British media substitute Margaret Thatcher for Reagan to precisely the same effect. Reagan's other use in popular culture is to evoke the 1980's, so expect him to be referenced in anything set in a Popular History version of that decade. Fun fact: Reagan used to be a member of the Democratic Party. He also was very, very addicted to jelly beans. He started eating them when he quit smoking, and he seriously had jelly bean cup-holders placed on government planes. When he won in 1980, he wanted a jelly bean flag of red, white, and blue to be created to the occasion. There were no blue-colored jelly beans at the time, so the Jelly Belly company created the blueberry flavor specifically for the ceremony. It ended up becoming one of their most popular flavors. Surely this was one of his finest accomplishments. Please be cool and use the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment
Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan.
Doc: Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Then who's Vice-President, Jerry Lewis?
— Back to the Future
Reagan's Movie Career:There is a story that Ronald Reagan was playing Trivial Pursuit with his staff aboard Air Force One, and received the question "Who said 'I am the Errol Flynn of B-movies?'". Reagan correctly answered "I did." In any case, the Errol Flynn quote is accurate, and reflected Reagan's dissatisfaction over his movie career, which rarely provided the good parts that Reagan wanted, as he typically ended up playing the archetypical "the hero's best friend/sidekick" character. Ronald Reagan made his film debut in a picture called Love Is on the Air in 1937. His first big break was a supporting part in the Bette Davis prestige drama Dark Victory (1939), but that part unfortunately failed to lift him out of the B-movie ghetto. In 1940, he played real-life American Football Player George "The Gipper" Gipp in the movie Knute Rockne, All American (about a Notre Dame football coach), which featured the line, "Win One For The Gipper." "The Gipper" became one of Reagan's nicknames. He was ineligible for combat duty in World War II due to extreme nearsightedness, so Reagan spent much of the war making Army training films. Another film Reagan famously played in was the comedy movie Bedtime for Bonzo, in which he costarred with a chimpanzee in a standard Ain't No Rule story. Reagan always displayed a sense of humor about this movie; he's famously said to have once signed a promo photo of himself and Bonzo with the inscription "I'm the one with the wristwatch.") During his Presidency, when Clint Eastwood was running for Mayor of Carmel, California, Reagan jokingly telephoned Eastwood and quipped "What's an actor who once appeared with a monkey in a movie doing in politics?", referring to Eastwood's role in Every Which Way But Loose and having some Self-Deprecating Humor at the same time. He viewed That Hagen Girl, a 1947 melodrama co-starring Shirley Temple, as his real Old Shame. It's even rumored that Reagan tried to suppress or destroy copies of that film. There's also a common story that he was originally slated to star in Casablanca, which derives from a claim made by the Warner Bros. publicity office while promoting his film Kings Row. Like many similar claims made by the Warner Bros. publicity office during the period, it has no basis in fact. His most famous role was probably in the 1942 film Kings Row, which contains the famous line: "Where's the rest of me?" (his character had lost both of his legs.) Where's The Rest Of Me? was the title of his 1965 autobiography. He had a memorable Playing Against Type role as a brutal crime kingpin in his last film, The Killers (1964).

Airport noise: FAA briefs residents along D.C. flight path
McLEAN, Va. (AP) – Mc Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration will brief McLean residents on new technology that they believe will cut back on complaints about noise from planes as they approach Reagan National Airport.
Sponsored Links
The forum is sponsored by Virginia Republican Rep. Frank Wolf and the McLean Citizens Association.
McLean residents, particularly those living in pricey real estate along the Potomac River, have complained for years about airplane noise.
Planes are supposed to fly along the river on their approach to minimize noise over land. But residents say pilots often end up encroaching over land and causing unnecessary noise.
The FAA says new GPS systems will make it easier to guide planes on their approach and keep them over the river.
The meeting will be Tuesday evening.

Tresemme Color Revitalize Conditioner
Based on 1 Review
Anne N.UtahHairLight BrownNormal HairDoes Everything It Says It DoesThis product really does help my color last longer while being an excellent conditioner at the same time. It makes my hair soft, manageable and shiny without being too heavy. It has a nice smell that stays only very subtly after the wash so it doesn't clash with perfume or other styling products.

The Big Picture releases the purtiest pictures of 'bots you're likely to ever see
We were already fans of The Big Picture, a series of pictorial articles hosted by The Boston Globe. Now that they've tossed in a bunch of high resolution shots of robots, however, we're absolutely in love.
Readers of DVICE will recognize many of the 'bots featured in TBP's retrospective. Take Wakamaru, for instance, which went from greeting guests at UNIQLO to acting on stage. There's also the da Vinci robotic surgical system, the HAL exoskeleton and even that crazy fire rescue robot that scoops you up. and devours you to save you.
Check out the gallery below for some of our favorites from the retrospective, and head on over to The Big Picture for much, much more.

One day in mid October in the heat of the Arizona sun, I took my friend, my companion, my dog Pepsi out to skateboard. I could feel the sun on my face and a light breeze in the air.
When I am with my dog Pepsi, it is us against the world. Pepsi loves pulling me on my skateboard and running as fast as she can down the road. On this particular day, Pepsi and I along with our supply of water, went sailing down the road; me on my skateboard and she by my side.
Unfortunately, I forgot speed laws apply to every moving vehicle. Pepsi and I were pulled over by one of Arizona's finest Police Officers.
According to the officer, Pepsi and I were speeding in a 25 mile an hour zone. The officer claimed to have clocked us at 40 miles an hour on my skateboard. I knew Pepsi was fast but did not know that she was that fast.
I was warned to slow down but informed that if caught speeding again, I would be given a speeding ticket and a fine of $500. For a part time employed 19 year old $500 is more money than I have earned in a month. However, I would spend a thousand times that amount to grow old with Pepsi and have her by my side always.
Comments for Pepsi, the speed demon and the skateboarder.

Sabrent SATA II ExpressCard Review
My notebook needs massive amounts of fast storage for the video editing I do. My choices were pretty simple, network attached storage from my Home Theatre PC (HTPC), buying a Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive, or a USB/Firewire enclosure hard drive. I tend to have most of my USB ports full when doing video editing and the IDE to USB cable I had never gave very good results and wasn't compatible with any of my SATA Drives. My notebook only has 10/100 Ethernet and I didn't really want to be tied to my desktop to do any video editing. So after looking at a few PCMCIA cards I found the Sabrent SATA II ExpressCard which provided far more bandwidth that a traditional PCMCIA card allowing for 2 full speed eSATA II ports, this runs through the PCI-Express bus at 2.5Gbps.
I had a few choices in ExpressCard SATA II modules but I chose the Sabrent for the following reasons
- 2 Ports
- Price
- Uses expressCard/34
Here are the modules features:
Brand SABRENT Model SATA-EXC2 Type SATAII ExpressCard Data Rates 3.0Gbps Other Ports Two SATA2 Shielding & Durable Ports (eSATA) Interface ExpressCard slot Operating Systems Supported Microsoft Windows NT/2000/2003/XP Features
- 48 bits LBA can Break Capacity-Limit to Support HDD larger than 137GB
- Supports 1-lane 2.5Gbps ExpressCard/34
- Compliant with PCI Express Specification, revision 1.0a
- Hot-plug capability
- Fully compliant with Serial ATA 1.0 specifications
- Supports two independent Serial ATA channels
- Independent Link, Transport, and data FIFO
- Independent command fetch, scatter/gather, and command execution
- Supports Legacy Command Queuing (LCQ)
- Supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ)
- Supports Non-zero offsets NCQ
- Supports Out of order data delivery NCQ
- Supports FIS-based switching with Port Multipliers
- 31 Commands and Scatter/Gather Tables per Port
- Two LEDs indicate for HDD access
As my notebook only has an ExpressCard/34 type slot (smaller variety than the ExpressCard 54 standard) I couldn't go with any of the earlier models, some of the models support RAID but I didn't see a need for that, so it looked like I had my card.
I live outside of the U.S. so a friend living there placed the order at NewEgg.com for me and then forwarded the shipment. It came in just a small simple box with a mini CD for the drivers. It was easily enough to install, Windows XP recognized the right driver to install as soon as I inserted the device into the ExpressCard port. Upon trying to use the SATA cables I quickly found out that eSATA has its own type of cable and port, so I had to go and buy 2 cables at $5 each for 50cm.
As soon as you plug the module in Windows recognizes it and installs the correct driver from the CD. It uses a variance on your typical silicon Image driver. After that you just plug in the drives and AutoPlay pops up asking what you would like to do with your new media. Both drives just appear under My Computer like any other hard drive.
I ran a few benchmarks on the hard drives on both my notebook using the Sabrent eSATA II module and on my desktop just using its built-in SATA II ports. I also did some video conversion, but there was little speed increase mainly because the conversions I do are more CPU intensive than HD intensive.
Anyway, here are the HD Tune results! The first set benchmark the HD one at a time while the second set are run at the same time and the third set are the drives run on the desktop.
Each drive benchmarked separately
HD Tune: ST3320620AS Benchmark
- Transfer Rate Minimum: 36.8 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Maximum: 75.1 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Average: 62.0 MB/sec
- Access Time: 13.5 ms
- Burst Rate: 86.8 MB/sec
- CPU Usage: 5.4%
HD Tune: WDC WD1600JS-00MHB0 Benchmark
- Transfer Rate Minimum: 35.1 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Maximum: 63.9 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Average: 54.6 MB/sec
- Access Time: 13.3 ms
- Burst Rate: 89.7 MB/sec
- CPU Usage: 5.4%
Both Drives benchmarked at the same time
HD Tune: WDC WD1600JS-00MHB0 Benchmark
- Transfer Rate Minimum: 37.7 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Maximum: 60.8 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Average: 53.3 MB/sec
- Access Time: 13.3 ms
- Burst Rate: 89.7 MB/sec
- CPU Usage: 10.3%
HD Tune: ST3320620AS Benchmark
- Transfer Rate Minimum: 35.7 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Maximum: 74.1 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Average: 58.6 MB/sec
- Access Time: 13.4 ms
- Burst Rate: 86.7 MB/sec
- CPU Usage: 10.5%
Drives benchmarked on the desktop
HD Tune: WDC WD1600JS-00MHB0 Benchmark
- Transfer Rate Minimum: 37.7 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Maximum: 63.9 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Average: 54.7 MB/sec
- Access Time: 13.3 ms
- Burst Rate: 87.3 MB/sec
- CPU Usage: 10.0%
HD Tune: ST3320620AS Benchmark
- Transfer Rate Minimum: 36.8 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Maximum: 75.1 MB/sec
- Transfer Rate Average: 62.1 MB/sec
- Access Time: 13.6 ms
- Burst Rate: 91.7 MB/sec
- CPU Usage: 12.6%
As you can see from the benchmarks, the hard drives perform nearly identically on the module as they do on the desktop. They also only suffer a very mild performance hit when both are being accessed at the same time, which was my biggest concern, as you are running 2 3Gbps lanes over a device that only supports 2.5Gbps. I suppose it's because current hard drives really can't utilize this bandwidth.
I would definitely recommend the Sabrent ExpressCad II module as it solved all of my problems and was very affordably priced at around $50.

Re: Sabrent SATA II ExpressCard Review
Excellent review, Matt!
You're quite correct about SATA II being overkill for currently available drive mechanisms... The highest sustained transfer speed you're going to see from a 3.5" 7200rpm drive is ~780-800Mb/s, depending on capacity.Fear my amazing powers of procrastination!

Re: Sabrent SATA II ExpressCard Review
Great review!!! And you just had to have this review while I silently wait for my SIIG SATAII Raid Expresscard to fly all the way from US to Singapore (Where I stay)......
It's going to be a long long wait....

Re: Sabrent SATA II ExpressCard Review
Yeah I looked at the SIIG one but the Sabrent one was easier to get a hold of at the time. I use a AC/DC adaptor that supplies up to 2A and has a molex head on it. I got it with the USB>IDE cable I baught off ebay.Notebook: HP Envy 14

Re: Sabrent SATA II ExpressCard Review
I had the idea to use a FireWire 800 ExpressCard to connect a RAID-0 FireWire 800 enclosure containing two Raptor 10K HDDs. The brandwidth would amount to approximately 100MB/sec. To be honest, even though peak and sustained transfer rates of the two drives would saturate the bandwidth it is not likely to be a problem in real world use.
I will be running multiple virtual machines for study purposes and I wanted a disk subsystem which would provide effective performance for the heavy multi-tasking requirements of virtual machines. However, further investigation revealed that a two drive RAID-0 array would not provide any significant benefit in this scenario. This is because much of the benefits of sustained throughput afforded by a RAID solution are lost in the small read and write multi-tasking scenario of virtual machines. The bulk of disk activity is not sustained throughput, but is instead head repositioning and actuator movement, which is one area that RAID does not provide any real improvement.
So, looking at the SATA ExpressCard solution, it would seem that two independent drives will provide good performance. For $50 this product looks like a good solution. Well done.
If I were building a new high performance desktop system, I would not likely use my drives in a single array, but would instead have a single drive for OS, a single drive for the pagefile, another drive for applications, and another drive (or two) for data storage.
In the same vein, Windows Vista will use Ready Boost to provide significant performance gains in OS operation. It does this by avoiding the HDD for numerous small concurrent I/Os and instead write to flash memory. A fast hard drive with a large cache can provide around 600 simultaneous I/Os per second, compared to flash memory which can provide up to 5,000 or more. These I/Os are about 4kb in size. RAID-0 would provide no benefit in this scenario.

this is very true and gives significant long term high performance ... compearing to a single drive.. i have experienced this myself , but 3+ drives are not atractive for consumer rather a pro who wants DIY soulution and knows what he is doing , 10out of 10 for mentioning this mate !
review is great too

WWII bomb, hijack fears roil Amsterdam's Schipol airport
The Netherlands' Defense Ministry sent two F-16s to escort a flight on Spanish carrier Vueling to Amsterdam on fears that it may have been hijacked.
However, Veuling tells Reuters that there was no hijacking and chalked the incident up to a "miscommunication" between the pilot and the control tower.
"There was never any danger. There was a lack of communication between the pilot and the tower and the airport has activated the security protocol," a spokeswoman for Vueling tells Reuters.
Initial press reports from Holland told of a feared hijacking, including the possibility of hostages, according to the Associated Press.
Those fears prompted Dutch police to swarm the plane after it arrived to Amsterdam from the Spanish city of Malaga, according to reports.
Police eventually boarded and searched the jet, according to Reuters. Passengers were allowed to disembark sometime after 10 a.m. ET.
When contacted by Dutch broadcaster NOS, one passenger on the flight said there was nothing unusual on the flight.
"In fact nothing was going on. We had to fly a few rounds. ... But there is no hijack," NOS quoted the person as saying, according to Reuters.
AP: Part of Amsterdam airport closed due to suspected WWII bomb
The BBC notes the hijack scares was just "the second drama at the airport on Wednesday."
The other involved a bomb -- thought to be from World War II -- that prompted an evacuation of parts of the airport after it was unearthed by workers near the main terminal.
Schipol Airport spokeswoman Karin Heldeweg tells AP that Pier C had been shut down for arriving and departing flights as bomb disposal experts assessed the danger posed by the munition.
In the meantime, the airport warned passengers of possible flight disruptions at the airport, one of Europe's busiest hubs.
The bomb was unearthed by construction workers digging a trenches for pipework, according to AP.
