Test System and Methodology
Our approach to storage testing targets long-term performance with a high level of granularity. Many testing methods record peak and average measurements during the test period. These average values give a basic understanding of performance, but they fall short in providing the clearest view possible of I/O Quality of Service (QoS).
'Average' results do little to indicate performance variability experienced during actual deployment. The degree of variability is especially pertinent as many applications can hang or lag as they wait for I/O requests to complete. This testing methodology illustrates performance variability and includes average measurements during the measurement window.
While under load, all storage solutions deliver variable levels of performance. While this fluctuation is normal, the degree of variability is what separates enterprise storage solutions from typical client-side hardware. Providing ongoing measurements from our workloads with one-second reporting intervals illustrates product differentiation in relation to I/O QoS. Scatter charts give readers a basic understanding of I/O latency distribution without directly observing numerous graphs.
Consistent latency is the goal of every storage solution, and measurements such as Maximum Latency only illuminate the single longest I/O received during testing. This can be misleading as a single 'outlying I/O' can skew the view of an otherwise superb solution. Standard Deviation measurements consider latency distribution, but they do not always effectively illustrate I/O distribution with enough granularity to provide a clear picture of system performance. We utilize high-granularity I/O latency charts to illuminate performance during our test runs.
We measure power consumption during precondition runs. This provides measurements in time-based fashion, with results every second, to monitor power consumption behavior. We also present IOPS-to-Watts measurements to highlight efficiency.
We conduct our tests over the full LBA range to allow each HDD to highlight its average performance. Varying capacities should be taken into account when viewing results. Both test samples feature the SAS interface. It should be noted the SAS He6 consumes more power than the SATA variant. The first page of results will provide the 'key' to understanding and interpreting our test methodology.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Great customer service. I was able to receive a sample of the invitation and the envelope options. After receiving the samples, the gold envelope was just what I wanted to set the festive tone for this happy occasion."
"Rarely do I submit reviews, but we had such a favorable experience with ordering these invitations from the Wedding Paper Divas. The paper was luxuriously thick. The design was beautiful. I was a bit hesitant to order a custom print without seeing a sample, but the results were fabulous. Couldn't be more pleased."
"I really loved the quality of this invitation. The card stock was a nice, heavy weight, and it was nicely textured. I liked the scrollwork design at the top that presented a classic, traditional look, yet the print layout gave it a more modern touch. The wording was traditional and conveyed all the right information. I was able to customize it enough to make the print a little larger than the sample. My only minor disappointment was that I couldn't change the colors of the print and the scrollwork design. There was only one other color option. Also, I wasn't wild about the large word "dinner", but it did look fine in the end. I was very satisfied with the invitation and the great customer service from Wedding Paper Divas."
"High quality, beautiful design... could not be happier! I wanted something understated yet elegant and this was perfect! In the photo the background looks a little pink but it is actually ecru... which is what I wanted. I was concerned that the design would be too light and the brown ink & font used might not show up (because of previous comments) but both were fine and very legible. The design is a little more muted on the actual invitation because of the textured card stock but it is still beautiful. I didn't add any text to the back but if I were to redo I might add directions or instructions for wedding party, etc. The die cut border also complements the design quite well. Great customer service, extremely quick turnaround, good value."
"I ordered these invitations for my son's rehearsal dinner. They were perfect. I love the color combination. It blends beautifully with the wedding colors. The quality of the paper and the envelopes was excellent. They were delivered exactly as promised. The only negative thing I can say is that the invitation size was smaller than I anticipated. I would highly recommend the wedding paper divas!"

Space-efficient they're not, but is there a cyclist alive who wouldn't prefer storing their bike in a locker rather than shackling it to a signpost?
Velo-Safe is a bike locker system produced by UK-based Cycle Works Ltd and reportedly sells them in Europe and the 'States, though I've never spied one. Although I love the idea, I feel the design is simply too bulky to see mass uptake; there are limited situations where you can find dead space to tuck them under, as with the stairwell below, but those types of architectural dead spots are few and far between in crowded cities, which is where these lockers are needed most.
One city that could really use these is Core77's hometown of NYC, where you can find a signpost-shackled bike that's been picked clean of parts on seemingly every other block. But even if we could fit these lockers in our city, it would only be a matter of time before our homeless started living in them. We've got problems, folks.

Microsoft's .NET is a revolutionary advance in programming technology that greatly simplifies application development and is a good match for the emerging paradigm of Web-based services. Part of this technology is a new language, C#. This new language combines the power of C++ and the ease of development of Visual Basic. It bears a striking resemblance to Java and improves on that language. C# is becoming the dominant language for building applications on Microsoft platforms.
This thorough and comprehensive course is a practical introduction to programming in C#, utilizing the services provided by .NET. This course emphasizes the C# language. It is current to Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5
An important thrust of the course is to teach C# programming from an object-oriented perspective. It is often difficult for programmers trained originally in a procedural language to start "thinking in objects." This course introduces object-oriented concepts early, and C# is developed in a way that leverages its object orientation. A case study is used to illustrate creating a complete system using C# and .NET.
C# as a language is elegant and powerful. But to utilize its capabilities fully, you need to have a good understanding of how it works with the .NET Framework. The course explores several important interactions between C# and the .NET Framework, and it includes an introduction to major classes for collections, delegates, and events. It includes a succinct introduction to creating GUI programs using Windows Forms.
Numerous programming examples and exercises are provided, including the case study. The student will receive a comprehensive set of materials, including course notes and all the programming examples.
The student should have some programming experience in a high-level language. This course is intended to be fully accessible to programmers who do not already have a strong background in object-oriented programming in C-like languages, such as C++ or Java. It is ideal, for example, for Visual Basic or COBOL programmers who desire to learn C#.
6 weeks, 2 evenings per week.
$2,395.00 (tuition is discounted to $2,345.00 if full payment is received three weeks before the start of the class)

The Card
Looking at the card, you're not really going to be seeing anything that you haven't seen before. We've seen Palit use this cooler design on previous mid-range models and overall there's not much else to see outside of that looking front on.
Looking around the rest of the card, we've got two 6-Pin PCI-E power connectors at the back of the card. Closer to the front we've got a single SLI connector and connectivity comes in the form of HDMI, Dual-Link DVI and VGA.
Specifications between the GTX 560 and GTX 560 Ti are very similar; both cards offer 32 ROPs and 1GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit memory bus. The main difference between the two cards is the Shaders with the Ti variant offering 384 and the plain GTX 560 we're looking at today carrying 336.
In the clocks department we're going to see that most companies opt to offer a pre overclock model with their own custom cooling solution. This isn't unusual as we've seen this a lot from NVIDIA partners and recent mid-range releases.
Comparing the clocks of the Palit GTX 560 Sonic Platinum to the GTX 560 Ti Sonic, they're actually exactly the same. The core comes in at 900MHz, which means the Shader clock comes in at 1800MHz and the 1GB of GDDR5 carries a clock of 4100MHz QDR.
As for the reference clocks, if we see any cards that carry them we should see a core clock of 810MHz, Shader clock of 1620MHz and the 1GB of GDDR5 should come in at an even 4000MHz QDR.

Here it is the winter solstice, Dec. 21, and here in Costa Mesa California out of several hundred plumerias, I have none that are dormant. About two dozen plants are now showing yellow leaves and are dropping some. Many are still totally green. One G.S. and a Teresa Wilder look to be the first to go bare within the next few days. Of course, "Psycho" is still totally green with several hundred happy white flowers- oblivious to reality. A few others have meager, wimpy flowers. It appears that temperature has some role in this as this is very late. We have had mini warm days on and off or they see me wearing shorts and flip-flops and are fooled. Bill |

Bill, I have the same thing happening with mine.....most of my plants still have green leaves, inflos, and buds. One of them, the tallest got frost, even though I had it by my back porch window and made sure it was covered(I used the felt side of one of an old, plastic tablecloth) before that frosty night. There are still some parts that are viable(I used the "prick test"), should I cut them off now, or wait until Spring? All the others were kept indoors, in my living room and I have been watering them occasionally. I'll be waiting to hear your suggestion. Always grateful for your help, Annamaria |
Annamaria- If you are sure you have rot, if it hardens over and does not move down the plant, leave it. If it is soft or if it spreads downward at all, start cutting. I just cut until i hit green wood, then clean my knife and make one more thin cut. |
Lol Bill. Late Winter is right! :). We should be in the low 70's for several days. Have a Merry Christmas Chuy |
Oh I wish I had your weather bill. That is great!! We got a 1/2 to 3/4" of ice yesterday. I spent my afternoon repairing someones electric service in the cold and rain. May have more to do today. Winter has came here pretty strong a few weeks ago. I am enjoying divine and Celadine flowering in the greenhouse. Mike |
Bill, do you think white Plumeria tend to have a genetic predisposition to being more hardy? While Psycho certainly seems exceptional, I've also seen other white ones doing things that others in the same vicinity do not do....e.g. often much longer growing and flowering seasons, slightly more cold resistance, etc. Purely anecdotal, of course- but I'm not familiar with any real science on the topic. Certainly, the pinks, rainbows, etc. are the target of most cultivation efforts. Whites seem to have largely been overlooked. For example, I cannot imagine why "Psycho" white isn't a staple at every Plumeria nursery. |
Very Pretty...I ordered it from him and it is very small, so I hope it takes off this next year. roxanne |

I had pulled some in but after a month indoors with no water they are still putting out new leaves so I took them back out and watered them. Some of the ones in ground are dormant and others have new leaves. Typical crazy plants. Psycho is on my list for next year. |
irun- I am not sure about whites being special. It is the end of the year and my few fully dormant plants include Samoan Fluff (white), Guillot;s Sunset (pink/white), Jeannie Moragne (red) and Ryan Chelsea seedlings (pink). However, I still have flowers on Kimi M. (pink), My Valentine (white), Lemon Drop (yellow), Ngam Prom (red) and of course, Psycho (which is the only one with tons of flowers still open.). Tally HO- I think you are in Florida. Contact me at email@example.com |
Bill, Talley is in Galveston, TX. Everything here is loosing leaves or already dormant. The last blooms were on a Dwarf Singapore Pink and a Dwarf Orange and the inflos are starting to drop off. We have been below average temps for several weeks now. I think the cold plus limited watering has brought about a pretty significant transition to dormancy. |
- Posted by beachplant 9b (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Dec 31, 13 at 13:43
yep, on the island of Galveston, somewhere near Texas. Today it`s another dreary icky day with a wind chill of 39. I`ve given up on the plumeria, the ones in the house think it`s spring because it`s warm, the ones in the garden think winter has come and gone and are starting to send out new leaves. I`m ignoring all of them until Feb. Tired of this cold dreary weather with the below normal temps. Happy new year everyone! Tally HO! |

Poker Table Position
Poker table position is one of the factors that have an influence on your game. A lot of new players don't give the attention they should, resulting in making bad choices during a hand and losing money.
There are three positions that are relative to the button.
- Early Position: The seats nearest to the left of the button.
- Late Position: The seats nearest to the right of the button.
- Middle Position: The seats between early position and late position.
Early Position
When in early position you should play less the cards that you can. Only use the best starting hands and play tighter. You should do this because you are among the first players to act and you have no clue of what others players have. You also have the risk to be raised with a hand that is not good and loose the money that you already called.
Late Position
When in late position you can play looser and more aggressive. You can start playing more hands because you are among the last players to act on the hand but with caution. If the players before you just called the blind and you have a hand like K-7 you can see the blind but if there are some raises before you reconsider it.
Middle Position
You still have to be careful in a middle position. You could play more hands than in early position but you have to see how the game goes. If all players before you folded that means you are first to act and still have players after you.
Below are some other terms regarding poker table position that you should know of.
- Play in Position: Play In position means that you act after a player and you have information on him. For example if he checks probably he is weak.
- The cut off: The position before the button. The best position that you can be in including the button, especially for stealing blinds.
There are hundreds of options online to improving your no limit hold'em game. From one-on-one coaching to eBooks to the myriad of poker training sites, the options can get overwhelming. Which option is the best use of your time? Which is the better investment?

Need some clarification on this rule: "When a player fails to complete a task and at least one of the rolled dice produced a terror result, he resolves all Terror effects on the Adventure card as well as any on the Mythos card currently in play."
When I look at the Mythos card resolution section, though, it indicates there are 2 effects: immediate & lingering, but no Terror effect...So, when you resolve a terror effect on an Adventure card do you also apply the lingering effect of the current Mythos card? Or am I missing something here?

In Response To: Rancid Pumpkin Seeds? (Tellulah O+)
..if they are raw seeds, not roasted, they do have a slight bitter after-taste...that is normal. I like to mix them w/other allowable seeds for my type & add some carob chips...very good!

Let me first say that I have no interest in this (wife, kid, and two dogs... not exactly living the "Sons of Anarchy" lifestyle), but I was wondering if anyone has a concealed holster-location on their bike.
I guess it would make the most sense to carry with a shoulder holster, but a buddy of mine said his uncle (or was it he swears his uncle's buddy's roommate) had an easy to get to place on his bike that held his pistol. I can not imagine where that would be... but I don't have much imagination - I can take other people's ideas and refine them... but little imagination of my own.

True crime. Politics. Religion. Biographical. And often controversial.
I love documentaries. Many have a touch of bias to them, but the best ones don't bother you with the bias. They educate you through it. If the director didn't have an agenda (i.e. ax to grind), they wouldn't have driven to make their films.
P.S. - You'll notice I like films about films and what goes into making good comedy. :-)
