As an actor, my work has been seen on stage in Austin, NYC and Los Angeles, in Indie films, as well as in commercials like Intel, McDonalds, Old Navy and T-Mobile.
As a writer, I co-wrote "Fly My Way" with my husband, Sasha Smith, for pop singer, Yoga Lin. It was a #1 hit in Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. In 2014, we also wrote "Humorless" for Faith Yang which made it to #33 in the Taiwanese radio charts.
My paper-mache has recently been used for a new stop motion/mixed media web series titled The Squirrel King that is to be released soon and I also work on personalized pieces for buyers.

Known as a master colorist and patient teacher, Caroline's artworks capture the true essence of her subject, bringing light to life, in a fashion often overlooked or ignored by many modern artists. Caroline has become a summer fixture in Giverny, known by many local residents as "La Madame Chapeau", wearing her signature hats.
Virtually unchanged since Monet's time, this lovely French village along the River Seine can be your home for the week. Art Colony-Giverny is a complete painting and French country experience. A blend of creative vision, style, and Norman culture awaits each participant. Words often used to describe this adventure are, "inspiring", "unbelievable", "painting opportunity of a lifetime", and "where can I sign up for next year"!.
Caroline is represented by:
Letoliacha Gallery

- Summerville, GA
Kamama Gallery
- Mentone, AL

The Boathouse, Danson Park, Bexleyheath – Sneak Peek for Chrystal and Charles Wedding
Danson Park and 'The Boathouse'
Here us a small selection and 'sneak peek' of some photographs from a recent wedding in June. The ceremony was held at the Sidcup Baptist Church; and was followed by a superb wedding reception held at The Boathouse, which is set in Danson Park in the London borough of Bexley Kent. There was a small amount of time between the Ceremony and the reception that provided the ideal opportunity to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Park as well as capture some wonderful quiet moments before Chrystal and Charles were whisked off to their guests!
A Great day for all!

Nanotech: Huge Focus on a Small Science
Last year, companies and governments invested $8.6 billion in nanotechnology research and development, up 10% from 2003, according to Lux Research, one of the most respected research firms to rise up around nanotech. Companies such as IBM (IBM), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), General Electric (GE), NEC (NIPNY) and BASF (BF) are among the cutting-edge researchers in the field, although nanotech involves only a sliver of their operations today.
Some 20,000 people around the world are working in nanotechnology, a figure that the National Science Foundation expects to rise tenfold in 15 years. Forecasts for the nanotech market range all over the spectrum, but the most commonly cited is the NSF's figure of $1 trillion within the next decade.
So the interest in and commitment to nanotechnology are widespread, but beyond that, the uncertainty begins. Experts talk about the potential breakthroughs -- the ability to deliver life-saving drug proteins that the human body has so far resisted, batteries to power laptops and devices with memory chips that are many times tinier and more powerful than anything available today, elevators stretching into outer space. But no one can tell you when, or who will make them.
"There will be new companies formed that will create a phenomenal amount of value because of the revolutions they're creating," says Warren Packard, a venture capitalist at Draper Fisher Jurvetson, which has been actively investing in nanotechnology startups. "At the same time, there will be many, many companies that won't make it. The fundamentals of investing and of analyzing a company's prospects don't change. Just because someone calls itself nanotechnology,

Rated 4.4 out of 5?by 5 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5?by Casy One LOTS of outside noise I have lived in two different apartments at this location. One on the South side and one on the West side. The outside noise is terrible at both locations. This is not noise that management has control over. Have called Hopkins Police a number of times and they always respond. Most of the noise is caused by the people at the High School next door on the West, the parking lot on the South side, and the noisy play on the basketball court next door, both sides. April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5?by Emilito Excellent Location and Comfortable Apartments I've been living for more than 5 years in this Apartment Building and I have no complaints whatsoever. The location is great near to the malls, movie theater, post office, churches, highways 7, 169 and 494. The building looks well maintained. Cherie is always helpful and friendly. I feel safe living here. Definitely, I recommend this place to live. November 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5?by Absurdly Great place & great value! If your looking for an apartment with the best value, this is the place! The building is concrete which keeps out the sounds from any neighbors nearby. Not even noisy kids running down the hallways! I've been here for a couple years now and I've never had to worry about anything. November 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5?by Jess and Nate AWESOME place to live My husband and I have lived here for a year now, and LOVE it here. It is super quiet, so you have lots of privacy. The laundry room always has available machines, and they recently added a fitness room with lots of new equipment which is awesome. Behind the building there is a school with a playground and lots of sports fields for baseball, football, volleyball, tennis and hockey so lots to do. We are on the main street in downtown Hopkins so walking distance to anything you would need: a movie theater, children's theater, bars and restaurants, a bowling alley, grocery stores, coffee shops, and lots more! The building manager Cherie is amazing also, she has always been super nice and attentive to our needs for maintenance or just even advice about the area. All in all, when we decided to move to Hopkins we looked at many places, but are SOOOO glad we chose Central Park Manor! October 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5?by Tracie Pleasant staff - awesome location I have lived in Central Park Manor for over 5 years and have been very satisfied with what they have to offer. I moved here because of the location - there are so many things within walking distance (two grocery stores, nice restaurants, fast food, two major walking/biking trails, the cheap movie theater, etc). It's also easy to get to major highways (I-169, 494, 62, 212) so getting downtown or out of town is quick. The staff is friendly and helpful (Cherie is awesome!) and so many things have been added or upgraded since I moved in. It's definitely a value in this area. Whenever something breaks, the issue is addressed as soon as I put in the request (both my dishwasher and air conditioner were replaced in a day or two when they broke). I've had a great experience living here and would definitely encourage people to consider making this their home too! October 22, 2013

Coal Hectare Beanie
Stylish and Warm
My Coal Hectare Beanie came in the mail and as the temperature has dropped, this beanie has kept my dome warm and toasty. There is a fleece lining stiched into the inside of the hat which keeps your head cozy and comfy. I typically wear a 7.25 fitted hat and this thing fits perfectly. I have to admit, the ladies love it.

Haptic feedback suit lets you feel every impact while gaming
In almost every way imaginable, gaming has been getting more and more realistic in recent years. Graphics, motion capture and even immersive hardware like the Oculus Rift have brought gamers deeper into the game than ever before. But one element has always been missing: tactile sensation.
Now, with the ARAIG — short for As Real As It Gets — haptic feedback suit, you'll feel every impact your character takes in-game. And this isn't your momma's DualShock-style rumble. Anywhere on your torso or arms that you get hit, you'll feel it right there. A total of 48 vibration points located all across the suit make sure of that.
Bullets trigger individual vibrations. Explosions trigger "stim" reactions, which encourage individual muscles to expand or contract, simulating pressure in a specific area. These same reactions can make you feel as if you're carrying a weight across your shoulder.
As an added bonus to the haptic feedback, the ARAIG suit also implements a pretty ingenious sound system. Surround sound speakers are mounted in a hexagonal configuration around your neck, making sounds emanate from very specific places. There's also a subwoofer strapped to your back — awesome.
The ARAIG suit is, of course, wireless and features its own onboard control system. If all this sounds like the perfect way to get into your game, head on over to the ARAIG Kickstarter, where the team behind this incredible device is looking to raise a hefty hunk of change in an effort to bring it to reality. To learn more about how the ARAIG suit does what it does, check out the video below.

The question frequently arises among pregnant woman. Is it ok to drink rooibos tea during pregnancy? Well first of all rooibos is technically not a tea, thus not derived from the tea plant camellia sinensis. Rooibos is in fact a legume from the aspalathus family.
As a consequence of this rooibos is naturally caffeine free and very low in tannins which brings many health related benefits to everybody drinking it. Especially pregnant women should keep an eye on their health and the health of their baby.
The strong and aromatic taste makes it a natural substitute for coffee especially in the time of pregnancy when caffeine intake should be limited or avoided completely.
The tannins present in large amounts in teas can cause a lower iron absorption in the blood stream. As anemia is quite frequent in pregnancy or breastfeeding the low tannins in rooibos can be quite beneficial to this cause. Some studies have shown that adding vitamin C to Rooibos tea can greatly increase the body's capacity to absorb iron and antioxidants.
Aside from that Rooibos tea can have a major role in the life of a pregnant woman, easing many symptoms that come with particular state.
Rooibos can be beneficial in states of constipation, nausea or stomach cramps. Further it can improve liver function and help in states of anxiety and depression.
A word of caution however. In many cases Rooibos is mixed with other herbs and those herbs might cause some undesired effects during pregnancy.

Some highly creative people have suffered from schizophrenia, including Syd Barrett (1946–2006), the early driving force behind the rock band Pink Floyd; John Nash (born 1928), the father of 'game theory'; and Vaclav Nijinsky (1889–1950), the legendary choreographer and dancer.
The cases of Barrett, Nash, and Nijinsky are exceptional, and most people with schizophrenia are intensely disabled by the disorder. Even highly creative people with schizophrenia such as Barrett, Nash, and Nijinsky tend to be at their most creative not during active phases of the disorder, but before its onset and during later phases of remission.
Many more highly creative people, whilst not suffering from schizophrenia themselves, have or have had close relatives who do. This was, for example, the case for the physicist Albert Einstein (his son had schizophrenia), the philosopher Bertrand Russell (also his son), and the novelist James Joyce (his daughter).

Hostel Riad Marrakech RougeMarrakech, Morocco
Staff were friendly and helpful. Met many people here. It was generally a good place to stay. Very sociable place.
The YellowRome, Italy
I enjoyed staying at the Yellow hostel and I met many interesting people. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and I would stay here again. I will recomend this hostel to my friends. My only criticism is that wi-fi was not available in the rooms but just the bar but this was not a major issue for me. The breakfasts were nice and things were kept clean. I loved the music played at the bar! :)

I had a great time at the hostel and met some good friends who I will keep in touch with. The atmosphere was so fun and the staff were always friendly and willing to help. I would stay here again if I was in Berlin.

European Central Bank Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen said the Baltic states have reaped the benefits of implementing fiscal reforms rapidly.
"When adjustment is inevitable, it is better to take the medicine right away than to let the fever rise for months," Asmussen said at an event in Riga today. "By acting with speed and determination, the Latvian government was able to capture the sense of urgency prevailing among the population and mobilize it to support adjustment. This way, most of the required painful budgetary decisions could be passed before the so-called 'adjustment fatigue' kicked in."
Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia all reduced spending and raised taxes to keep deficits under control, with Latvia slashing expenditure equivalent to about 9 percent of gross domestic product from its 2009 budget. The euro area's sovereign debt crisis is worsening as political support for budget cuts in Greece dwindles and Spain struggles to recapitalize its banks.
Asmussen said the level of public support for budget cuts is "an important factor that explains the different trajectories of the Baltics and certain southern European countries."
"The ECB has long argued that the potential trade-off between fiscal discipline and growth can be mitigated if consolidation is accompanied by growth-enhancing structural reforms," Asmussen said. "The case of the Baltics confirms this."

Herman Bing (March 30, 1889 – January 9, 1947) was a German-American character actor and voice actor. Herman Bing was also the brother of Gus Bing (1893–1967).
Herman Bing was born in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany and died in Los Angeles, California. He was production chief of films in Germany before he went to America with director F. W. Murnau as Murnau's assistant director.
As well as acting in over 120 films, he was also in Burlesque. He also provided the voice for the Ringmaster in Walt Disney's Dumbo (1941), and Von Hamburger in Daffy Duck in Hollywood (1938). Many of Bing's parts were uncredited.
The type of comedy he was known for became outdated in the years following World War II. It was said he was a known Nazi sympathizer which damaged his career when the United States entered World War II. He became increasingly depressed in the mid-1940s, as he was unable to secure work in Hollywood, and committed suicide in 1947 by shooting himself.

- Come Closer, Folks (1936)
- Daffy Duck in Hollywood (1938)
- Dumbo (1941)

Venus To Unveil Designer Dress At Wimbledon
Venus Williams By Richard Pagliaro
Dress down day arrives nearly every day Venus Williams steps on the court. Clad in her favorite dress of the moment, Williams downs most opponents with the ease of model strolling down the runway with style.
The aspiring designer will arrive at Wimbledon with a new doubles partner this summer — noted fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg, who has designed a new line of Reebok tennis' dresses for Venus to wear at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
The reported five-year, $40 million deal Venus signed with Reebok nearly two years ago makes her one of the highest-paid female athlete endorsers in the world. Eight months ago, Venus and her mother Oracene met with Von Furstenberg where Venus provided her views on the proposed collection.
According to a published report in Women's Wear Daily written by Rosemary Feitelberg, the partnering of the world's third-ranked player and a top fashion figure "marks the first time a fashion designer has teamed up with a pro athlete and an athletic label to produce performance-orientated active wear."
The 22-year-old Williams — who owns V Starr Interiors, an interior design company based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida — has a passion for fashion. Williams, who often seems more excited discussing her latest dress than her most recent victory in post-match press conferences, designs a line of women's leather apparel for Wilson's Leather, appropriately called the Venus Williams Collection.
"Partnering with Diane Von Furstenberg on this exciting collection was a dream come true," Williams told Feitelberg. "Her style is sexy, sophisticated and hip — and that's exactly how I wanted my tennis apparel to look. It was truly an honor to work with Diane on the sketches and color choices. It was amazing to see my ideas come to life — I am thrilled with the new collection."
The tennis court has long served as a sports style runway for new trends in fashion. Famed tennis dress designer Ted Tingling, affectionately nicknamed "the leaning tower of pizzazz" by Tennis Week writer Bud Collins, caused a Wimbledon scandal when he outfitted Gertrude "Gorgeous Gussy" Moran with lace panties. Tingling distinctive dresses for a series of champions including Maureen Connolly, Billie Jean King, Margaret Court and Evonne Goolagong.
In 1985, American Anne White created a stir by wearing an all-white skin-tight body suit at Wimbledon. Andre Agassi earned international attention when he took the court clad in blue denim shorts and more recently Anna Kournikova's midriff-baring belly shirts, Serena Williams' black spandex cat suit and Tommy Haas' sleeveless Nike t-shirt have all attracted attention.
In creating a design for Williams, who has helped usher in a new era of women's tennis, Von Furstenberg looked back to the past — to the 1930s era of tennis when the all-white rule reigned supreme and corsets were in vogue.
"We wanted to bring glamour with a twist and a wink," Von Furstenberg told Feitelberg. "Something that makes you smile."
The two all-white dresses she designed for Venus may elicit both smiles and wide-eyed wonder from fans. One dress infuses elements of the corset into its back, while the other offers a pleasing pleated skirt paired with a supportive under wire top. The irony of bringing back a modified corset on the back of the dress was a conscious decision for Von Furstenberg, who is honoring tennis tradition of the past while creating a design for the future.
"It's interesting when women started to play tennis, they were breaking through the corset and now we're making another kind of corset," Von Furstenberg told Feitelberg. "What athletic clothes need now is to come out of the eighties and become a little more glamorous."
The U.S. Open dresses Von Furstenberg designed are primarily black and according to Feitelberg range in style from V-neck tops to short tennis skirts and bicycle shorts. The U.S. Open collection also features a black-and-white link design across the front. The collection will be shipped to about 50 American retailers in July with prices ranging from $20-$43.
Don't look for a commercial campaign to accompany the collection's release. While each piece in the collection will bear an "Rbk by Diane Von Furstenberg" designer label, there is no major ad campaign planned as Reebok hopes to create interest in the collection by word of mouth.
"We want this to be coded and contagious," Reebok vice president and general manager of women's wear Jan Sharkansky told Feitelberg. "You have to be in the know to know."
According to Von Furstenberg, Venus and Serena often share each other's non-tennis clothes. While Venus and Serena's matches have not always been closely-contested, when it comes to fashion the sisters seem to maintain a healthy sense of competitive style — apparently neither sister tells the other their plans for their new tournament apparel.
"They like to impress one another with what they wear more than anyone," Von Furstenberg told Feitelberg.

I don't know... I like the back but I'm not feeling the pleats. I'll have to really see it to make the call.
Apr 25th, 2003, 03:20 AM
I'm with you Okasu. I'm not big with the skirt. Although it may just be the pic. We'll have to wait to see it better before making full comments
Apr 25th, 2003, 05:53 AM
I don't see any pleats :eek:
Apr 25th, 2003, 11:06 PM
Well the back looks gorgeous..But the skrit well...We will see! I am sure Venus will look superb as usual though!

I'm confused.
Did he threaten to harm/kill you?
This is a discussion on Very Serious Potential Threat From Disgruntled Employee within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'm confused. Did he threaten to harm/kill you?...
I'm confused.
Did he threaten to harm/kill you?
While all of the talk of making sure you are always armed is fine, just remember your legal training during your CHP class. You can NOT use deadly force based on past threats, you can NOT use deadly force based on verbal threats, and you can NOT use deadly force to stop a non deadly physical attack.
If the person is a hot head you need to keep your wits about you and if he does approach you be prepared for any type of response. It could be he just needs to vent verbally and you need to be able to deal with this WITHOUT escalating it to a higher level of force. If it becomes physical without weapons you need to have the option of less than lethal alternatives. Consider having pepper spray handy as well as your wife should have some and she should be trained in the basic operation of it.
Remember, NC law is comprised of many shades of gray so you should never let your guard down but make sure YOU don't escalate the situation. Be ready to shake hands or use deadly force or any level in between.
Remember also, you as a non LEO may only meet force with like force, you do not have the right to meet force with greater force such as LEOs do.
You can lose you life in ways other than being the victim lethal force, you can lose it by being convicted of using deadly force again a non deadly threat and not being with your family for a long long time.
Be prepared, be smart, and think.
This is the best advice. You don't have the Secret Service working for you so if he want's you he'll probably get you.
Your best defense is to do what QK said. Think about how you would kill you and change those things to make yourself a harder target. The best way to avoid being shot is not being there in the first place.
I havent heard any of the journalists who volunteered to be waterboarded asking to have their fingernails wrenched out with pliers, or electrodes attached to their genitals.
Lots of great advice here. I might add:
* Stay calm if/when you see him.
* Try to spend your time in places where there are others, ie, potential witness.
* Don't drink.
* Be careful what you say to ANYONE about this person, especially on forums, emails, texts, etc. It will come back to haunt you if the situation goes to court.
* Don't dwell on it to the exclusion of other important things in your life (work, family, etc.). This can do wonders to keep the situation in perspective so you're not seeing spooks behind every bush.
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
At the risk of sounding a bit paranoid, have you considered purchasing body armor?
Something that nobody has yet mentioned--what are the possibilities that he might enter into the workplace to take vengence on you and any other employees that he thinks gave him the shaft?
In that light, think through your work enviroment. Do you have a back entrance? If so, keep it and any other entrances locked--if he had keys--then change the locks--ASAP.
About the front entrance, what are the point of ingress and egress? Are there any choke points, fatal funnels etc? Do you have a receptionist? If so, does she have immediate access to a "crash" button (something that sends an alarm straight to the local Law Enforcement office). If you don't have one of those, perhaps you should invest in it.
Is the front person/receptionist aware of the potential threat?? Do you have any kind of protocol/SOP if he does show up? If he has made any kind of threats, perhaps you should get a restraining order/order of protection--yes, we know that they will not actually protect you, but if you have one, and he does show up, you don't have to wait for the violence before you can call in the LEO's--his presence would be adequate justification for a crash call.
Stay safe.
Scott, US Army 1974-2004
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
- Ronald Reagan
Wow...thanks for the robust response. I will try to answer your questions together below. I think it is important to note that there has been no specific threat. I have heard things like he thinks I'm a coward, and he couldn't stand to be in the same room as me, etc., but those are pretty typical and expected thoughts for someone in his shoes. The potential is there, but there is nothing specific that I'm aware of.
-This person does not know where I live, but probably could find out pretty easily.
-My wife is trained to use firearms and has applied for and is awaiting her own CHL.
-My place of employment has a no weapons policy on site, and that's as far as I'm willing to comment on that topic.
-I was not the sole person in charge of his dismissal, there are others above me that played a part but I'm clearly the reason/target.
-OC spray is part of my daily carry routine, regardless of my carry state. Wife also carries OC in purse, though not as always accessible.
-Body Armor? I mean, I'm a little paranoid right now because this all just happened, but I'm not at the barbed wire perimeter and body armor stage yet. I don't believe that this is a sniper or assault rifle situation. It is more like the guy would love to get in my face in a parking lot and beat the living snot out of me. I believe the threat of him using firearms is low.
-The idea of him gaining reentry somehow has crossed my mind and that's not an impossibility. The no weapons policy definitely doesn't help me protect myself either. The security is very very weak, and there are no 'crash buttons' or anything that I know of. Maybe there are, but I don't think we're set up for that kind of response.
-Thanks NC Bullseye for the laws refresher. I'm convinced that his background/training and physical stature (5'5'', 250 lbs) would constitute disparity of force (me = 5'7", 165 lb), but I appreciate the points about force escalation and will mind those as best I can.
It's tough trying to find the balance between paranoia and preparedness, especially in this situation. I'm trying to match the alertness with the threat, and at times it does get the best of me by interfering with life as normal. Hopefully time will work its magic and this will blow over without incident. Until then it will always be in the front or back of my mind.
Thanks again to all for your responses.
Your number one weapon is SA, everything else is secondary. I have been in your shoes many, many times. As a matter of fact, I am in the same circumstances right now. This is the main reason why I decided to carry a self-defense firearm.
Stay alert, stay alive.

Duty, Honor, Country...MEDIC!!!

I'd add this: put out some real or fake surveillance cameras.
Put them in obvious places.
It's just one more obstacle to make it less easy for anyone.
(Real cameras are obviously better, but fake ones go up fast and cheap)
The only thing fair about a fair trial is that there's a fair chance you will be blindsided with the verdict.
Remember also you have a duty to retreat if possible in most cases until Dec 1. Just take a deep breath and remember to not become the instigator if you should cross paths. If he leaves you no other options be prepared to oblige him.
I'm a big fan of video surveillance. Nowadays you can get a four camera day/night outdoor system that runs off a hard drive and records 24/7 for about $500. Not only can you review what is going on around your property, but a time stamped screen cap is good evidence if he ever decides to stalk your home. It's only one of the pieces of good security, but a vital one.
Just be safe and alert. The most that ever happened in my case was I found a flat tire on my car at work within 2 days, and it was a long metal stake that had been driven into the sidewall. So, I had to buy a tire, but that was the extent of it. I knew where that came from.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts. --- Will Rogers ---
Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
Wow thats never easy for sure .
Been in mangement for years .
I have a post running here right now ( should I watch my back thred )
Mine is about 360 degress from yours ( the owner has me worried and is not all there)
I think you have done well and coverd pretty much all you can .
I can feel for you because I am in same scenario about what could happen as court casses come up for me.
I know you said you have some of your other employess still speaking to him .
My thoughts on that is not a good idea at all .
Dont know what kind of biz your in ( mine is retail trade service ).
I can tell you I would never ever trust any of my employees to tell me the truth and all the truth about
what they are were talking about a he said / he said deal is never good .
Stay safe

Intel Will Drop Prices On Sandy Bridge CPUs in Q3 2011
Subject: Processors | August 17, 2011 - 02:13 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Intel, sandy bridge, cpu
Intel plans to refresh its entry level and mid-range Sandy Bridge desktop processor lineup with seven new models and accompanying price drops. The new models include the Pentium G630, G630T, and G860 on the low end, and the Core i5 2320 on the high end. Making up the middle ground are the Core i3 2120T, i3 2125, and i3 2130 processors.
CPU-World reports that September and October will both see price reductions in certain Sandy Bridge processor SKUs. September will see price reductions in all mid and low power Core i5 and i7 processors. Specifically, the Core i5 processors will be reduced by as much as $11, while the Core i7-2600S will see a price cut of $12. October will bring price cuts for the low end Pentium and Core i3 processors. The Pentium CPUs will see a price cut of $11 and the Core i3 2120 will be cut by $21.
CPU World has a detailed chart of the individual chip prices which you can check out here. Will these price reductions be enough to entice you to buy into Sandy Bridge, or are you holding off upgrading until Ivy Bridge?
Intel ultra-balks at Ultrabook manufacturers requests
Subject: General Tech | August 16, 2011 - 12:00 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ultrabook, Intel
There has been a bit of talk on the PC Perspective front page about Intel's new Ultrabook form factor and if it can profit Intel to release in a market that already has Apple firmly embedded in the minds of consumers as the "thin" guys. First were the complaints from manufacturers that the bill of costs for an ultrabook was in the neighbourhood of $1000, which would put the price of sale above the competitions. Intel then responded with a claim that the 11" and 13" ultrabooks with a thickness of 18mm will be between $493 to $710 to manufacture and the larger 14" to 17: inches, 21mm thick models will run between $475 and $650.
That price disparity seemed a little odd, as there was no explanation from Intel about where the manufacturers got their maths wrong nor an announcement of price drops from Intel to make up the difference. What we did see was a promise by Intel to provide $300 million in funding to those who develop technologies to further the ultrabook form factor, which might help offset some of the costs of manufacturing but certainly not enough to reduce the bill of sales by a third or more.
Now the waters are even further muddied as we hear today from Digitimes that Intel is refusing a request by manufacturers to cut the price of the CPU models which will be found in ultrabooks by half. Instead Intel is willing to drop the price by 20%, along with some marketing subsidies which will help once the product makes it to market but which will not lower the cost of the bill of materials at all. That is not going to help make the ultrabook a good investment for the first-tier manufacturers to develop. Add to that concern the fact that Intel's coming ultraportable Oak Trail platform, with paired Atom Z670 CPUs costs almost four times as much to produce as a Tegra 2 machine, even the discount that Intel refused is not going to make them attractive to sell.
"Intel's Oak Trail platform, paired Atom Z670 CPU (US$75) with SM35 chipsets (US$20) for tablet PC machine, is priced at US$95, already accounting for about 40% of the total cost of a tablet PC, even with a 70-80% discount, the platform is still far less attractive than Nvidia's Tegra 2 at around US$20. Although players such as Asustek Computer and Acer have launched models with the platform for the enterprise market, their machines' high price still significantly limit their sales, the sources noted.
As for Ultrabook CPUs, Intel is only willing to provide marketing subsides and 20% discount to the first-tier players, reducing the Core i7-2677 to US$317, Core i7-2637 to US$289 and Core i5-2557 to US$250.
As for Intel's insistence, the sources believe that Intel is concerned that once it agrees to reduce the price, the company may have difficulties to maintain gross margins in the 60% range and even after passing the crisis, the company may have difficulty in maintaining its pricing. Even with Intel able to maintain a high gross margin through its server platform, expecting Intel to drop CPU prices may be difficult to achieve, the sources added."

Intel Releasing Firmware Fix For 8MB SSD Bug In Two Weeks
Subject: Storage | August 16, 2011 - 04:07 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ssd, Intel, firmware bug, 320
We reported a few weeks ago that Intel was able to reproduce the 8MB firmware bug in it's lab and was working on a fix. Officially called the Bad Context 13x Error, the 8MB bug is a rather serious firmware issue that a small percentage of users ran into when their drives unexpectedly lost power due to improper shutdown procedures or power outage at an especially wrong time. Once the drives were powered on again, they reported a capacity of 8MB to its users, who were able to restore the drive using secure erase but not the data.
Fortunately, a fix is on its way very soon, as Computer World quoted Intel in stating "the new firmware update is in final validation testing and is targeted for release on Intel Communities within the next two weeks."
Further, users will be able to apply the firmware fix without needing to secure erase the drive; however, none of the lost data can be recovered. As with any drive, SSD or otherwise, be sure to perform regular backups to mitigate the amount of data one can lose in drive failure. Intel is also recommending that users ensure they shut down their computers properly and to avoid unplugging the SSD from a powered on machine.
Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more information on the Bad Context 13x Error as it develops. Until then, rest assured that a fix is on the way soon.
Sandy Bridge-E Processors: Cooler Sold Separately
Subject: Processors | August 15, 2011 - 10:45 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: sandy bridge-e, Intel, hsf, cooling
We reported a few days ago that AMD is considering bunding a sealed loop water cooling solution with it's high end FX processors. In an interesting development, VR-Zone today stated that Intel will not be including any cooler at all with it's Sandy Bridge-E parts.
Specifically, Intel will not be bundling any processor cooler with its Core i7 Sandy Bridge-E 3820, 3930, or 3960X CPUs. These processors are rated at a 130 watt TDP; however, VR-Zone reports that the processors may in fact be drawing as much as 180 watts at stock speeds. This massive jump in power compared to previous models, if true, would make Intel's move to not include a cooler a good thing, as enthusiasts will almost certainly want a quality third part air cooler at least, and a proper water loop if any overclocking is involved. Enthusiasts especially have always opted to use an aftermarket cooler instead of the included Intel one as they have been notoriously noisy and mediocre in the performance department. While they are decent for stock speeds, overclockers have always demanded more than the Intel coolers could provide.
The situation is made all the more interested when paired against AMD's announcement; Intel has opted to not include any heatsink at all while AMD has opted to ratchet up the cooling performance with a sealed water loop. Personally, I find the two companies' reactions- because they are almost direct opposite solutions- very intersting and telling about the company mindset. Which solution do you like more, would you like the chip makers to ratchet up their stock cooling performance, or do you prefer the hands-off approach where they allow you to grab the cooler of your choice by not bundling anything in the processor box? Let us know in the comments!

No Intel architecture refresh can be complete without a Pentium model
Subject: Processors | August 12, 2011 - 01:35 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sandybridge, pentium, G850, Intel
Intel has updated the Pentium processor for the SandyBridge era with the 32nm G620, G840 and G850, all of which cost under $100. All are rated at 65W TDP with 3MB of level 3 cache, an integrated DDR3 memory controller, PCI Express 2.0 interface, Direct Media Interface 2.0, and Intel HD Graphics 2000. Legit Reviews tested the 2.9GHz G850 model and found no surprises, neither good nor bad. The Pentium line remains the workhorse model, perfect for office usage, web browsing and even watching movies. Those who make movies or want to do more than basic gaming are better off looking at an older LGA1156 processor or even a slightly more expensive Intel or AMD chip. If you've a relative that only needs a PC for light duty tasks, consider a system built around one of these new SandyBridge Pentiums.
"After trying out both the Intel Pentium G620 and Pentium G850 we must admit that we are still impressed by what these cost effective mainstream processors can do. Thanks to the powerful Intel 'Sandy Bridge' microarchitecture these dual-core processors don't run too far behind the more expensive offerings from Intel and AMD. You can find some pretty good deals on LGA775 and LGA1156 platforms right now, but the Intel Pentium series for LGA1155 has more features and as you could see in the performance tests they weren't that far behind in the benchmarks..."

Carmack Speaks
Last week we were in Dallas, Texas covering Quakecon 2011 as well as hosting our very own PC Perspective Hardware Workshop. While we had over 1100 attendees at the event and had a blast judging the case mod contest, one of the highlights of the event is always getting to sit down with John Carmack and pick his brain about topics of interest. We got about 30 minutes of John's time over the weekend and pestered him with questions about the GPU hardware race, how Intel's intergrated graphics (and AMD Fusion) fit in the future of PCs, the continuing debate about ray tracing, rasterization, voxels and infinite detail engines, key technologies for PC gamers like multi-display engines and a lot more!
One of our most read articles of all time was our previous interview with Carmack that focused a lot more on the ray tracing and rasterization debate. If you never read that, much of it is still very relevant today and is worth reading over.
This year though John has come full circle on several things including ray tracing, GPGPU workloads and even the advantages that console hardware has over PC gaming hardware.

Intel bets $300m on their Ultrabook-ie. Next step: broken leg
Subject: General Tech, Systems | August 10, 2011 - 10:23 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: ultrabook, Intel
Intel has this little platform that they are attempting to push against the world known as the Ultrabook, a category of ultra-thin and light laptops that range 11-inch to 17-inch screens with high performance and high price. The actual cost of an Ultrabook is somewhat hotly debated between Intel and others. On the Intel side of the fence, the claim for the cost of parts in an Ultrabook range between $475 and $710; this bill of materials comes days after manufacturers discussed component costs around the $1000 mark. To further push the Ultrabook platform, Intel just released a statement announcing a $300 million fund to invest in technologies that further the Ultrabook platform.
Is Intel getting themselves into a jackpot?
Intel described their intents with the fund in this snippet from their press release:
Ultrabooks will deliver a highly responsive and secure experience in a thin, light and elegant design and at mainstream prices. To help realize that vision, the Intel Capital Ultrabook Fund aims to invest in companies building hardware and software technologies focused on enhancing how people interact with Ultrabooks such as through sensors and touch, achieving all day usage through longer battery life, enabling innovative physical designs and improved storage capacity. The overall goal of the fund, which will be invested over the next 3-4 years, is to create a cycle of innovation and system capabilities for this new and growing category of mobile devices.
It looks as though Intel is putting their money where their mouth is. While $300 million is not exactly huge in the scale of Intel revenue it is a substantial sum and equal (less inflation) to what they used to back Centrino over eight years ago. While their last investment went to subsidizing wireless access points, marketing, and similar programs this investment should be mostly focused on the technology itself -- both hardware and software -- with battery, input, and interface specifically mentioned. Part of me muses about Meego in terms of the Ultrabook platform potentially even as a supplement to Windows. We shall see what Intel has in store for the platform that could, and bludgeoned forward with heaps of raw cash when it could not.
Read on for the press release in full.
Hitachi Releases New Enterprise SSD Based On Intel's 25nm MLC HET NAND
Subject: Storage | August 9, 2011 - 09:10 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: ssd, mlc, Intel, hitachi, enterprise
Hitachi recently released a new enterprise class SSD based on Intel's 25nm MLC flash. Dubbed the Hitachi SSD400M, the new solid state drive is aimed at Enterprise users and Cloud data centers. It comes in the standard 2.5" form factor, features a SAS 6Gb/s interface, and will be available in 200GB and 400GB capacities.
As an enterprise drive, the Hitachi SSD400M supports end to end data protection, error correction, error handling and self encryption on certain models compliant with the Trusted Computing Group's Enterprise A Security Subsystem Class encryption specification. Further showing it's intended usage as an Enterprise drive, the 25nm MLC based drive is rated for 7.3 Petabyte lifetime write, which Hitachi says amounts to 10 full drive writes per day for five years. Coincidentally, the warranty of the drive is a five year limited warranty or until the drive exceeds the maximum rated number of petabyte writes per capacity. Hitachi states that they expect a .44 annual failure rate and have projected a 2 million hour MTBF.
Performance of the drive is much better than that of the previously reported Intel drive, as it delivers 495MB/s sequential reads and 385MB/s sequential writes. The SSD is further rated at 56,000 read IOPS and 24,000 write IOPS.
The SSD400M has already shipped to various OEMs and will be available soon. More information on the new SSD can be found here.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 5 - 03 October, 1923
Mr. S.R. BURKE Mr. S.R. BURKE
Mr. S.R. BURKE: I rise to propose the following resolution:—"That the Dáil returns thanks to the Governor-General for his speech, and approves of the legislative programme of the Government as outlined therein."
On the last occasion on which this resolution was proposed, the country was confronted with dangers of a very serious and threatening kind. It was a time of doubt and uncertainty for all of us, a time when no one could say that the future was secure. We are not yet out of the wood. The dangers which confront us are still serious, though of a different nature, but by continuing to follow the path we treaded in the old days and in the manner outlined in the Governor-General's address, by continuing to tread that path cautiously and warily, but withal firmly, I believe that this Dáil and the nation it represents has every reason for looking forward with confidence to the future.
I am particularly pleased to see here that this historic nation is now a member of the body known as the League of Nations. It is only an embryonic institution at the present moment, but in it are the seeds of great things for the world and for humanity. Ireland before played a very important part in international affairs when her scholars went all over the Continent spreading the light of reason and the light of Faith, and it is a welcome thing to us to see that we are about again to take part in the same or a similar task. It [152] is also a good thing that we have participated in the Conference of the States making up the British Commonwealth of Nations. That will strengthen us, I am sure; it will strengthen our financial position, which is a matter to be very seriously considered at the present time.
The enactment of the Electoral Act, I am sure, was gratifying to all the people who have democratic ideals before them. By the adoption of adult suffrage our Constitution takes its place as one of the most democratic in the world. We are also about to put into force a new Act which embodies reforms in the administration of law and justice. The Irish people were, in the past, reputed, even by their enemies, to be a people that held justice and law and order very dearly, and it was the abuse of law and the abuse of justice in this country that was responsible for a great deal of the disorderliness and the lack of that law-abiding spirit that we found in other countries; but those remedial measures in our judicial system will bring about a return to the old ideals in this matter. It has been an excellent thing that in the very difficult crisis through which we have passed we have been able to organise a police force. I think it was one of the most creditable performances of the last Dáil that we were able to organise such a force in the face of such tremendous difficulties. Our military forces are after going through a very critical period, a period during which, in many respects, they had to take on the character of guerillas and which is now over. We can say with confidence that we have a regular army which, from the point of view of courage and efficiency, is second to none in Europe.
The problem of unemployment confronts us. It is a problem of course that has been made, to a very great extent, by the Irregular campaign in this country. It is a problem we have to tackle with all our energies, so as to see if we can overcome it, and I am sure, if the same capacity is shown in handling this difficulty as was shown in handling other difficulties during the last Dáil, we will have no difficulty in surmounting it.
I am glad to see that a measure for [153] the encouragement and development of agriculture has been outlined. This, as we all know, is the key industry of the country. It is at the present time, I am sorry to say, in a very serious condition, and it behoves us all, every interest in the country, whether commercial, labour or professional, to put our heads together and to see how this great industry can again be put on a sound and paying basis.
I have only looked over the Governor-General's address, and I am sorry I cannot do full justice to the various points mentioned. I will leave it now to the seconder to perform the part that I should have performed.
SEOIRSE MAC NIOCAILL: Ba mhaith liom-sa cuidiú leis an rúin do chuir an Burcach os ar g-cómhair. Do chuireas rún mar seo os cómhair na Dála anuiridh a' moladh clár an Rialtais. 'Sé an Rialtas ceudhna atá againn fós. Dubhradh nach rabh meas ag muinntir na tire ar an Ríaltas acht nuair a bhi feall acú theasbanadar nar mar seo a bhi an sceul. Tá súil agam go n-eireochaidh leis an Ríaltas an clár seo a chur i bh-feidhm co maith agus a rinneadar 'san tearma atá caithte.
I rise to second the motion proposed by Deputy Burke, and I may say that in the last Dáil I had the privilege of proposing a similar motion to that which Deputy Burke has proposed to-day. It was a motion approving of the Ministerial policy. We have to-day practically the same Ministry as we had in the last Dáil. We heard that the Ministry were unpopular and that they were doing things that were not right. Well, the Ministry has been vindicated. Every member of the Ministry who went up for election was returned at the top of the poll, I think, with one exception. That shows to my mind that the people of the country are behind the Ministry and behind the Government. And the sooner, to my mind, the misguided individuals who think that the Ministry have not or will not have the support of the people, realise the fact that they have and will continue to have the support of the people, the better for these individuals themselves.
I am in the same difficulty as Deputy Burke, who kindly said that I would [154] deal in detail with this address, more fully than he did. I do not intend to do so. I did deal, to a certain extent in detail, with the Address on the last occasion, but I have not had a chance of doing it this time. I know that on the last occasion we had a very long debate. I think, as a matter of fact, the debate on the Address went on for several weeks. I do not think there is any need for dealing in detail with a subject like this. The only thing I would attempt to point out is this. We have the same Ministry that laid a programme before us in the last Dáil, and it is the same Ministry that is laying the programme before us in this Dáil. They have been vindicated, and I hope they will be in the position of carrying their present legislative programme into effect, as they did in the last Dáil.
Mr. JOHNSON Mr. JOHNSON
Mr. JOHNSON: The Address by the Governor-General, which has been circulated as a Paper to the Dáil, has only been before the Dáil for thirty minutes. Consequently Deputies have not had an opportunity of reading the Address, and they cannot determine whether it is deserving of thanks or otherwise. I, therefore, beg to move the adjournment of the discussion on this motion until the next meeting of the Dáil.
Mr. DARRELL FIGGIS Mr. DARRELL FIGGIS
Mr. DARRELL FIGGIS: I wish to second that.
Debate accordingly adjourned.
Dáil Éireann 5 GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S SPEECH: RESOLUTION OF THANKS.
General Debate

For the Exceptional Services classes at the middle- and high-school levels, it has been like trying to teach swimming lessons in a bathtub. And while the resources are coming together, they still need a number of supplies for classes to help prepare students for success after school is done.
Exceptional Services kicked off classes four years ago when the middle school and high school campuses were still combined, said program specialist Abigail Himlie. Now, nearly a full year after the middle school program split and moved to the new campus at Maricopa Wells with a pair of rooms specifically designed to provide hands-on educational opportunities for special needs students, Maricopa High is struggling through the growing pains of construction and a lack of suitable space for these students.
Himlie said as the district has grown, the number of Exceptional Services students has grown even faster, requiring the district to double the number of teaching staff and classes offered this year at both Maricopa Wells and Maricopa High School. While the middle school's class has a washer/dryer and kitchen that allows students the ability to perform hands-on life skills so crucial to their development, Maricopa High has gone without until now.
In working with Principal Jeff Kleck and Exceptional Services Director Bobby Santillan,
Himlie has negotiated the use of a teacher's lounge on the old middle school campus for next semester so as to give her students at least a partial kitchen in which they can prepare meals as part of their daily classwork.
"These kids have life skills goals in their IEP (Individualized Education Program) so we need to teach them now," Himlie said.
In the current classroom structure, math and reading can be taught, but giving students opportunities for the hands-on training they need has been in short supply.
"They don't learn if it's not hands-on," Exceptional Services teacher Sheri Guthrie said of the bulk of her students. "They don't have abstract reasoning to grasp things they don't physically do for the most part."
While a new temporary classroom is on the way for Guthrie and fellow high school Exceptional Services teacher Judy Kenny in January, garnering supplies for that classroom remain the responsibility of Himlie. She has put out the call to fellow staff – some of whom, like Food Services Director Suzette Moe, have answered by donating a number of items – and the community for the items students need, including kitchen supplies, cooking ingredients, non-perishable food items and small appliances. For a full list of needs or to find out how to donate, contact Himlie at (520) 568-8100.
Himlie is also pushing for dedicated space for the growing program similar to what was constructed at Maricopa Wells as the high school moves forward with the construction of new buildings on campus. It is with the thought that the Exceptional Services classes are attempting to teach many of their students the tools they need to succeed on their own – cooking, cleaning, making a budget – that Himlie is working to form a transition team that will oversee working with businesses to give students jobs in the community and helping them move forward from a school setting to one where they can flourish on their own.
Himlie said not giving these students the tools they need to learn both life and workplace skills throws a huge roadblock in front of their desire to achieve goals in and out of the classroom.
"I think that school-to-life is the most important thing we can do with these kids," she said. "It's very difficult to find transition programs... especially in Maricopa. To try to get them work with these skills in as many different places is huge."
Himlie has already seen some successes – a former student went to work at a Cold Stone Creamery in Casa Grande and an idea to use a Nintendo Wii to improve hand-eye coordination for some of her students has shown positive results – but nothing will be able to replace having a fully-stocked, properly outfitted classroom when it comes to meeting her students' needs.
"We've had to be really creative. We know the facilities are coming but we've just had to do what we can."
