Expand the "pie" before you divide it up.
Picture the following: it's time to buy a new car, and you're in the showroom at a local dealer.
You're interested in a car priced at $19,000, with an initial payment of 20 percent, and the rest as an interest-free loan over three years. You think you can get a better price, but the salesperson isn't prepared to lower it.
So, how can you get a better overall price for yourself while also making your offer more attractive to the dealer?
You think of another option and say to the salesperson, "I like the car, but I want to change the deal to something that's more beneficial to both of us. For your price of $19,000, I'd like you to include three years of free servicing. If you do that, I'll pay you 50 percent of the price up front, and the rest over just two years."
This is an example of integrative negotiation. The situation has changed from a "win-lose" (a dollar you win is a dollar they lose, and vice versa) to a "win-win" (a better dollar deal for both parties).
In effect, you move toward a deal that makes the "negotiating pie" bigger, rather than continue to fight over how to cut up the existing "pie." The car dealer makes a sale with better cash flow, which outweighs the cost of servicing. And you get your car with a lower total cost of ownership because three years of servicing, which you'll need anyway, will be free.
An easy way to define integrative negotiation is to compare it with its counterpart, distributive negotiation . Distributive negotiation is what people traditionally consider negotiation to be: both sides fight over the price of a fixed package of goods or services, and they try to hide their real positions and objectives in order to gain an advantage.
In contrast, integrative negotiation uses...

The Blood Type Diet Archives Volume 8
Posted By: Sue(A+)Date: Tuesday, 26 January 1999, at 12:08 p.m.
In Response To: And what do you do for exercise? (Chris(O))
My husband (O-) played raquetball for 30+ years but has given that up and now goes to a gym and lifts weights. I (A+) do Yoga and simple videos with weights and some aerobic exercise. He likes things vigorous and competitive and I'm just the opposite.
Really fits in with the O and A blood types.

When a story promises the most valuable lesson in my life in the first sentence, the cynic in me says yeah, right. Fortunately, the author delivered a powerful message just as promised. And, he did it with style.
The story plays out like a piece of music. It flows. The dialogue is distinct. The main character speaks in a rhythm all his own. It is a well composed piece that grabs your interest from the start and keeps it.
Being a jazz afficionado makes this story extra pleasing. I love the feel of the nightclub and the writers enthusiasm about musicians who have a passion to play.
The weakest part for me was the section on the brevity of Toledos playing experience. The narration loses the colorful slang that the dialogue delivers so well. I wonder if the narrative could be integrated into the dialogue in some way.
Another suggestion, though not necessary, is to give the story a location that people could identify with, like the streets of New Orleans or the jazz clubs of Harlem. Adding a community contributes to the readers experience and helps to emphasize that playing the horn is more than a job, it is a way of life.
Keep on typing.

A review of Victim of Happy Camp Revisedby BozDonovan on 03/05/2011This is a nice readable story. One that is easy to follow and know whats going on without long indulgent narratives that distract more than add.

A review of Tell Me a Storyby BozDonovan on 02/23/2011This piece is far from normal. It isnt really a story in the traditional sense of having a beginning, a middle, and an end.

By Wendy Langhans
In honor of Thanksgiving, for the next three weeks I'll betalking about the small things in nature we often take for granted.
Much of what I've first learned about baking came fromwatching and helping my Mom, Grandma and Aunts. Like how to mix a batch of biscuits. Too much stirring and the texture will be doughy; too little stirringand the texture will be lumpy. But justthe right amount of stirring and – yummm – you'll have a flaky and tender biscuit.
The same principle applies to topsoil: to be fertile, soil must be mixed justright. Earthworms are the "wooden spoon"that mixes the soil.
Earthworms function as totally tubular "eating machines":organic stuff (dead vegetation) and inorganic stuff (rocks and minerals) goesin one end and concentrated, enriched and well-mixed stuff comes out the otherend. As earthworms eat their way throughthe soil, they:
- Bore channels to increase water filtration and aeration within the soil.
- Create empty spaces in the soil for tender new seedings to send out roots.
- Chew up the larger, tougher parts of leaves so that microbes and fungi can break them down into the nutrients needed by plants.
- Increase the surface area for microbes and fungi to live. It is estimated that the surface area of particles contained in a couple of tablespoons of soil "add up to a million square feet – the area occupied by a city block." (J. Nardi, from Life in the Soil)
The earthworms we see around our homes and gardens are mostlikely non-native species introduced from Europe, Asiaand Latin America. You have to head out into undisturbed open spaces like our Oak Woodlandsto find native species.
Naturalist Charles Darwin, author of On the Origin ofSpecies, knew about the role earthwormsplay in keeping the soil fertile. In1881 he wrote, "Worms have played a more important part in the history of theworld than most persons would at first suppose." So later this month, as you sit down to enjoya Thanksgiving dinner with family and friends, you may want to add earthwormsto your list of things to be thankful for.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven, as it were for half an hour. | 1 When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. |
2 And I saw seven angels standing in the presence of God: and there were given to them seven trumpets. | 2 And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. |
3 And another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer: and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints, upon the golden altar which is before the throne of God. | 3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. |
4 And the smoke of the incense of the prayers of the saints ascended up before God from the hand of the angel. | 4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand. |
5 And the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar and cast it on the earth: and there were thunders and voices and lightnings and a great earthquake. | 5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. |
6 And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound the trumpet. | 6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. |
7 And the first angel sounded the trumpet: and there followed hail and fire, mingled with blood: and it was cast on the earth. And the third part of the earth was burnt up: and the third part of the trees was burnt up: and all green grass was burnt up. | 7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up. |
8 And the second angel sounded the trumpet: and, as it were, a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood. | 8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, |
9 And the third part of those creatures died which had life in the sea: and the third part of the ships was destroyed. | 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed. |
10 And the third angel sounded the trumpet: and a great star fell from heaven, burning as it were a torch. And it fell on the third part of the rivers and upon the fountains of waters: | 10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water-- |
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And the third part of the waters became wormwood. And many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. | 11 the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter. |
12 And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet: and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it: and the night in like manner. | 12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night. |
13 And I beheld: and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice: Woe, Woe, Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, by reason of the rest of the voices of the three angels, who are yet to sound the trumpet! | 13 As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: "Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!" |

ANybody has experience with this system? |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by chesters_house (My Page) on Sun, Jan 5, 14 at 11:57
I had one hooked up for about 10 years. We planned to keep the faucet and the system in the kitchen reno, but somewhere along the line the faucet was damaged -- a leak that wasn't there before. We thought about replacing the cartridge but a new one cost as much as a replacement faucet. Is KWC discontinuing the line? I ask because the replacement was so inexpensive and was listed as a discontinued model. If that's the case I'd wonder how long the filters will be available. With that in mind, we replaced with a different model and use a Zero filter in the fridge. |
i guess they are discontinued…i was only able to find them on ebay… i just loved their faucet, it has a pull-out, what a neat idea for filling out pots! I didn't find any other filter faucets with this feature… the faucet has 5/16 pipe going in…i wonder if any other filters would fit… |
Here is a link that might be useful: faucet
- Posted by chesters_house (My Page) on Sun, Jan 5, 14 at 16:50
Not sure -- never tried it. But, yes, might work as a combo side spray/pot filler and drinking faucet. |
I have one. I love the pull out concept but the button has to be constantly depressed which makes it a pain when filling containers. You can't walk away when filling a pot. I am getting rid of it and replacing it with a low flow concetto from Grohe. I want a pull out for my filtered water faucet and no one makes one. My thought is that I could use a regular kitchen faucet with a low flow with my filter. I went to several plumbing showrooms looking at items like the waterstone filter faucet but I know they will not work for me, I like rinsing fruits with the filtered water and a pull out faucet with spray sounds like a lovely idea. Also, I place the pot on the side of the sink to fill it rather than having to lift a pot filled with water out of the sink. I wonder why no one makes a filtered faucet like a kitchen faucet? Homepro01 |
homepro01, do you use it with kwc water filter or something else? Is it enough and comparable to other under sink filters? I actually think it would work better if we could not walk away when filling a pot…I walked away and forgot about the running water more then once on my current kitchen :)))) I would come back to find huge ocean of water on the floor :(( |
I have it hooked up to an Everpure h1200. I love the everpure units and have used them for years. I started with an Everpure h300. I don't mind the pure stream for filling carafes but I get bored holding the button to fill a pasta pot. My filter has a flow rate of 0.5gpm. My unit is not under the sink because it takes up too much space. To be honest, your filter system does not need to be under the sink and if you can avoid it, I would put the filtration system in a mechanical room where it is easy to change the filters. Most filter systems you need to twist the filters out of the housing and this can be a pain under the sink. If you go away from a undersink filter, you have a lot more choice and larger flow rates. I considered a system from Freshwater systems where you purchase the housing and specific filters for you water needs and can achieve faster flow rates. |
thank you! |

AE: The Open Door Assessing Your Lean Enterprise Transformation
by Jorge L. Larco, president, J. L. Larco Associates, Inc.
The world has become very competitive. And competing not only means having an adequate pricing policy, but also having competitive performance in terms of quality and delivery, and being able to customize products to customer needs in short lot volumes.
Why Lean Enterprise?
The progressive migration of industries to low-cost environments and the massive differentiation needs required by customers place a substantial burden on companies struggling to continue to exist and provide shareholders with required returns on their investments.
Lean Enterprise is a strategic business system and a state of mind. While it is simple in concept, it is often difficult to implement. It has its origins in manufacturing, but the principles apply to all aspects of a business. It can be applied to businesses where there are a large number of products made during a shift, businesses where there are very low volumes, and in cases when each product may take several weeks to produce. It can also be applied to service businesses.
Companies that have adopted the Lean Enterprise approach and have applied it throughout the entire organization have achieved "sustainable" and impressive performance improvement. Even so, true "Lean" companies are limited around the globe. There have been may starts and many supply-side improvements that have been described in the specialized press. However, true sustainable, continuous performance improvement is hard to achieve. It requires a firm commitment from the top to make Lean Transformation a reality; an unwavering direction that is maintained and communicated thoroughly in the company, where every employee talks, lives, and acts the "Lean" experience; and adequate tools to support the "Lean" transformation.
Transforming a company from a traditional producer to a lean enterprise typically begins with management establishing a clear and comprehensive strategy for integrating the Lean concepts into the business. Then, after communicating the strategy extensively, companies begin to transform the production area, where results can be seen quite immediately and are visually easy to understand and follow. In parallel, the lean concepts and practices have to be implemented in the indirect areas. First focusing on functions that support production such as maintenance, purchasing, logistics, scheduling, shipping, and eventually moving into engineering, sales, finance, human resource, and other departments.
An important tool in the development of the Lean program is an assessment tool that is both comprehensive and complete. The tool should determine a company's initial lean transformation state and identify and prioritize all of the dimensions that need to be addressed to ensure the attainment of a complete Lean Program. In the many transformations that my peers and I have completed in the last 8 years, we used an assessment tool as a means of communicating the lean objectives throughout the company and ascertaining progress throughout the lean journey that each of the groups in the company achieved. Thus, the tool became an element of motivation and challenge.
The Workbook for Assessing your Lean Transformation co-authored by myself, Bruce Henderson, and Elena Bortolan evolved from the indicated experiences and needs. Thus, it has been developed with two considerations in mind - comprehensive lean content and ease of use. The workbook contains our step-by-step program for assessing lean progress in a company's operations. The workbook contains more than 60 color photographs to make it easy to visualize what lean operations should (and should not) look like.
The book is divided into nine chapters, so that readers can address their companies as a whole. The chapters address the evaluation of the company strategy, especially focusing on the Lean Strategy and the six fundamental toolsets of a lean "producer," which are: Workplace Safety, Order and Cleanliness, JIT Production, Six Sigma Quality, Workforce Empowerment, Visual Management, and Continuous Pursuit of Perfection. The book also describes the Lean Enterprise concepts (the broader company that surrounds production operations), including company organization and management style and company support functions.
I know that lean transformation programs can result in reductions in manufacturing lead-time, inventory, per-unit value added, and manufacturing space by 50 percent or more. The workbook can help accelerated achievement of these results and is a valuable instrument for achieving a sustainable transformation.

Texts have always been used to present new language to learners. These take the form of dialogue or prose. In an earlier generation of language courses, texts were always far too long and there weren't many of them in a coursebook. Teachers spent hours presenting long texts to a class with very little follow-up after each presentation. The modern tendency is to present very short texts, followed by active practice. This is the style adopted in Direct English. The first two pages of the coursebook present the new language to be taught through a text; the next two pages follow up the presentation with language practice. We can think of this two-part approach in each lesson as presentation/activation.
It's worth itemising the advantages of using texts to teach and learn a language:
When texts are short (as in Direct English) they can be presented rapidly, leaving as much time as possible for follow-up practice. The new language to be acquired in the lesson is built into each short text, so the learner experiences this new language in context. Texts make language highly memorable, because it is easy to remember a situation. For example, you can remember the little text about Baby Sherise (Book 1, Unit 2, Lesson 1) and in doing so you will recall the language that was taught. If you were presented only with the raw language, devoid of text, you would never be able to recall it. Learners generally find it easy to learn short texts by heart with hardly any effort. This has the effect of building up a great 'reservoir of language' in their minds. Texts make language learning enjoyable because they introduce elements of humour which make language learning fun. Texts make it possible to introduce characters and storylines which greatly contribute to the learners' enjoyment. Short texts are not only unchallenging for the learner, but they facilitate reading and repetition. In Direct English, texts are broken up to match the learners' 'eye-span'. So, for example, instead of being presented like this (Book 1, Unit 1, Lesson 3):
Anne: Can you speak any foreign languages. Dean: Not really. I speak a little Spanish, but I can't understand a word. they are presented like this: A: Can you speak any foreign languages. D: Not really. I can speak a little Spanish, but I can't understand a word.
Short texts can serve many different functions. In Direct English they are used for the purposes of role-play (= taking the parts of different characters) and are used as the basis for constant question and answer practice. In the second half of each lesson the new language is extrapolated from the text and practised in a series of different exercises. The short presentation texts in Direct English are followed up with short prose texts which extend the storyline and provide further scope for language practice and entertainment. Text-based learning is the key to success and the essence of Direct English.

You may have noticed Buoy 44017 went down a couple weeks ago. After investigating this, we found that Buoy 44097 just south east of Block Island went up sometime this year.
So, for Eastern Long Island, and Rhode Island forecast pages, 44097 has been made the default buoy, and has been added to the Northeast Buoy Maps.

Facebook's former top lawyer joins start-up Evri
Rudy Gadre left Facebook to move back to Seattle, and now he's been hired as vice president of business operations at the Seattle-based search-and-discover company.
When the news broke earlier this week that Facebook had hired D.C. veteran Ted Ullyot as its general counsel , many news outlets (this one included) took it to mean that this was the first time that the young company had hired executive-level internal counsel.
Not so: as reported by Law.com, Facebook's prior general counsel, Rudy Gadre, had left the company in July "to move to Seattle and spend more time with his family." Gadre had actually been at Facebook since 2006.
Regardless of the validity of the ages-old "spend more time with the family" explanation, we now have an update on Gadre's whereabouts: search-and-discover start-up Evri, which is based in Seattle, has hired him as vice president of business operations. He'll be in charge of legal issues, intellectual property, and various marketing and "audience building" tasks.
Prior to working at Facebook, Gadre had spent time at law firms Beacon Law Advisors and Perkins Coie, as well as Amazon.com.
This spring, Evri CEO Neil Roseman, also an Amazon veteran, said his company's aim is to construct a "data graph of the Web." Evri has been funded by Vulcan Capital, the venture firm founded by Paul Allen.

My Aunt wants to add a few purple coneflowers to her yard (from my yard)... NOW its in the middle of summer (z6) can I divide now or wait 'till the fall?
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by scorpiohorizon 6 OH (My Page) on Tue, Jul 22, 08 at 14:32
Conventional wisdom says wait until after they bloom. But I throw caution to the wind all the time. I moved some purple coneflowers from one yard to mine a few weeks ago, right as they were starting to bloom. Just get a good clump of dirt with the roots and after planting, water like mad. They will droop for a few days, but keep them moist--they'll bounce back. You might lose a little growth and a few extra blooms, but coneflower is a trooper. Mine look terrific now. Jennifer |
After boom (in the fall) or in the spring once they start growing. Fall and spring are for planting/transplanting. |
- Posted by echinaceamaniac 7 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 23, 08 at 19:45
Division is best done in the fall, but now is the time for basal cuttings. I take them all through the spring and summer and root them indoors. After they grow for about a month, move them outdoors right before a rainstorm. This to me is better than dividing them anyways as I can make many more plants than by simple division. |
If you were closer I'd say come get some. I never have had coneflowers reseed till this year and they popped up all over the garden to my surprise. Maybe because I let the beds go au naturelle last winter - no clean up. Now if only White Swan would reseed - it never has no matter what I do. Echinaceamaniac - I have been browsing your posts about the new echs and I have to say - the pale yellow Harvest Moon is really beautiful. I guess thats the only yellow one right now. I just saw a huge stand of it in full sun this morning and it is really gorgeousl |

alyrics, You are always welcome!!! :) Anyway, I bought one plant 5 years ago and WOW I have them all over the yard... evertime I see a new one blooming I did it up and place it ??? ... I give them to coworkers, family, friends. I hear you can soak your feet with the cone and it will helps what ills you... TRUE??? |

Dava to Dunphail
The second stage of the Dava Way begins from Dava, just north of the highest point on the route. It crosses empty moorland at first before reaching the Divie Viaduct, perhaps the highlight of the route; from here the landscape becomes increasingly pastoral.
Level walking on old railway line. Surface is mostly good but with sharp stones on some sections and muddy in some cuttings.
Public Transport
School bus only (but open to public) to Dunphail.
Dava. Map and directions.
Users' reports
There are no walk reports for this walk. Why not write the first?

Ballyvolane House, by contrast, showed us a suave and winning way to bridge grand-manor Ireland and the new. Justin Green, the fourth generation of Greens to live at this enormous Italianate country property, runs the place with his wife, Jenny, in a comfortably homey style—a friendly cat stretched out on the bench of the grand piano, spaniels and children scampering about—but with a deluxe and vaguely bohemian air. A homemade elderflower cordial and vintage Bakelite radios awaited upstairs in the rooms, and as we sipped coffee in the garden in the morning, Jeremy Green, Justin's father, tended to a flock of birds in a dovecote on the far side of a manicured gaming lawn. You could imagine hosting the dream reunion of your best college pals here.
Another of Ballyvolane's great draws is its proximity to excellent salmon-fishing rivers, and its access to coveted permits. We had arranged for a half-day salmon-fishing expedition, and Justin set us up with a guide—ghillie, as they say here—Norman Gillett. A wisp of a man, Gillett wore an eyeglass tether, felt plus fours, and a Robin Hood hat with a feather in its crown; we sensed he could gut a 20-pound salmon in seconds. We drove about 15 minutes from the hotel to the Blackwater River, pulled on our waders, jumped a fence with our gear and picnic lunch, and tramped across a pasture to the river's edge, carefully avoiding a herd of cows.
Gillett, a retired geophysicist, was a wonderful teacher. He showed us how to cast the lure far into the fast-moving channel near the opposite bank, and to reel in the fly at just the right speed: quick enough to keep it from catching on the rocks of the riverbed, but slow enough to attract the interest of the fish. We were the worst students—wanting desperately to catch a big slab of sashimi, but consistently snagging our lures in the riverbed. And we probably weren't thinking enough like a fish to actually catch one. Hiking through a meadow and wading into a river, the jet-black cows watching us from the riverbank above, was thrilling enough that we were content to leave the job of procuring fish to Ari's pals. Besides, we told Gillett, we had to hustle on, to Moran's in Galway, to eat oysters. Missing Galway oysters on a trip like this would be like drinking iced tea in Barolo.
"Like oysters, do you?" Gillett said. "Try Burkes, in Clarinbridge." It was just south of Galway, he said, and when he'd been in college he'd drunk his weight in Guinness there. A short three hours later, we found Paddy Burkes hugging the busy main road into Galway, a few miles south of the city. The restaurant looked well-preserved—probably unchanged since Gillett's drinking days. A frozen-foods truck was making a delivery, but we can attest to the quality of the oysters. Ours were very fresh—meaty, with a coppery edge—though we preferred the ones at Moran's, just down the road. They were slightly wetter, creamy, and minerally—an altogether more suave expression of the bivalve. And the convivial old-time village atmosphere was more appealing. We ate our dozens outside on tables, on a quiet road overlooking a creek at low tide.
Between the two places, we didn't come close to replicating Gillett's performance with respect to the Guinness—we had an early-morning flight out of Shannon, after all. But we came close with the oysters.

NBA Playoffs roundup: Celtics stay alive, beat Knicks to force Game 6
ASSOCIATED PRESS May 1, 2013 9:10PM

Kevin Garnett had 16 points and 18 rebounds and the Boston Celtics stayed alive in the playoffs, cutting the New York Knicks' lead to 3-2 with a 92-86 victory Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Celtics will host Game 6 on Friday night, needing two wins to become the first NBA team to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a series.
''We just wanted to keep it going,'' Brandon Bass said.
Bass added 17 points, steadying the Celtics as they shook off an 11-0 deficit and pulled away in the second half to stop the Knicks again from achieving their first playoff series victory since 2000. The Knicks' Carmelo Anthony scored 22 points but was just 8-for-24 for the field.
Home helps Pacers again
David West scored 24 points and Paul George had 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead the host Indiana Pacers past the Atlanta Hawks 106-83 to take a 3-2 series lead.
The Pacers, who took the lead for good midway through the second quarter, have won all three home games in the best-of-seven series and are 5-0 at home this season against the Hawks. They'll go to Atlanta on Friday with a chance to clinch. But the Hawks have won 13 straight at home against the Pacers, including both games in this series.
Josh Smith and Al Horford scored 14 each for the Hawks.
Bucks' Boylan finished
Coach Jim Boylan won't be offered a new contract after the Milwaukee Bucks made the playoffs for the first time in three years but lost 12 of their last 16 games before being swept by the Miami Heat in the opening round.

Final Thoughts
We are starting to draw closer to the end of the SF-2281 era. It's now October and in a few months chatter will start to pick up about 3000 Series controllers from SandForce. So far we've seen a lot of drives based on the SF-2281 and even one using the SF-2282. In that time we've called out some winners and losers, but there is a new field starting to emerge; the average in between, unremarkable products. The Silicon Power V30 fits in this last class of products - it may even be on the low end of that group as well.
The Silicon Power V30 performs well when up against drives using Marvell controllers, but when running side by side with a similarly equipped 2281 / 25nm synchronous flash product, there isn't anything special that makes us prefer it over the competition.
Just as unremarkable is the price. Amazon currently lists the Silicon Power V30 at around 225 Dollars. This would have been a very competitive price six months ago, but today we are seeing drives with the same hardware combinations selling for less than 200 without a mail-in rebate.
The final nail in the coffin is the accessory package. The V30 ships with a three year warranty, the standard at this time for Team SandForce products. You also get a desktop adapter bracket, also pretty much a standard accessory. Pulling the V30 down, though, is the fact that we couldn't find a firmware update for it or any other SSD on Silicon-Power.com.
After a quick Google Search I learned that I'm not the only one looking for SP's SSD firmware updates. Even more remarkable is the fact that no one from Silicon Power or another forum user chimed in to help these other guys out. I guess such a place does not exist.

I am getting ready to do some kitchen mods./upgrades, but mainly appliances and countertops. We will be keeping the knotty pine ceiling, paneling, and cabinets. We really don't dislike these fixtures, but have been looking at them for 26 years, and wouldn't be opposed to a change. Most of the track fixtures I've found so far are high tech and contemporary. These are an antique brass finish, and I've thought about just cleaning them up, and painting them a dark bronze or matte black. There is one pendant over the corner sink now, and the light provided by the tracks is adequate, but maybe just time for a change... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Halo makes some pendants that clip into tracks. How about four hanging around the skylight, too busy? |
How about uplighting the cabinet tops- cove lighting? You could use t5 fluorescent or led strips to light up the ceiling. |

Little Recon
3rd Nov 2000, 03:34 PM
Whenever I try to play a game, my computer is CONSTANTLY reading from the hard drive. I assume it is loading the level or graphics or something, because if I just sit there for like 20 seconds, it stops. I can then move forward a little or turn side to side a very little bit until it starts reading again. Once it starts reading, the game gets unplayably jumpy. If I try to run around and shoot anyone, its like watching a slide show. After being in the same area for a while though, it gets less jumpy. This totally sounds like a graphics loading problem to me, but I have no idea how to fix it.
Is this just how UT is or is there some way to fix it?

The man he wanted to thank for that was 51-year-old Carlos Alvarez, director of the Miami-Dade Police Department, who leaves office at the end of March to make a run for Penelas's job. "Director Alvarez is retiring next month, and I want to thank him publicly for making this one of the safest communities in America. Please stand so we can wish you good luck and Godspeed."
Necks craned around the room. Alvarez was in the waaay back of the auditorium. Apparently he'd arrived late.
It was a nice little metaphor for his nascent mayoral campaign. Alvarez, a 28-year career cop and political neophyte, is tardy to the game and arguably at the rear of the pack. Six months after publicly declaring he was running for mayor, and nineteen months after first floating the idea in the press, Alvarez's campaign is perceived by many to be stalled at the gate. He has yet to define himself as his competitors have: County Commissioner Jimmy Morales is the one who hustles to every little community event with his shirtsleeves rolled up; businessman José Cancela is the one surprising everybody by raising the big bucks; lawyer Miguel Diaz de la Portilla is attempting to come across as the elder statesman. Alvarez is still just the police director -- if he's known at all.
That's because he has conscientiously kept his job separate from his campaign. "If he were a different kind of person, he would've used his office to enhance his candidacy," says political consultant Bob Levy, a supporter of Diaz de la Portilla. "But to his credit, he's not that kind of guy."
Many now view the Alvarez campaign as a tremendous opportunity slipping away. He was our Wesley Clark (complete with uniform), the one viable candidate who could legitimately claim he was going to close the doors on lobbyists at county hall. They were afraid of him not just because he's a cop, but also because he's an unknown. He's not beholden to or allied with the big rainmakers, the ones who enjoy an open-door policy with the current administration.
In fact when Alvarez feuded recently with U.S. Attorney Marcos Jimenez, claiming that Jimenez was backing off a big corruption case at the airport involving powerful lobbyists, his critics claimed he was politically motivated -- he wanted some notches on his pistol grip in time for his mayoral run. (Being guilty of wanting to brag about corruption arrests may not be such a bad thing politically.)
At this stage, though, his chances are looking slimmer than Britney Spears after an ephedra overdose. For one thing, he has yet to emerge from his police persona. His handlers, campaign manager Bob Harrison and image consultants the Victory Group in Tampa, have failed to shape him into someone vital and alive, a man passionate to take over as mayor -- a candidate. "I saw him at the mayor's State of the County address and he was as wooden and stiff then as when he started this thing," says one long-time political observer, a veteran of many campaigns who is not involved in the current race. "When the director first let it be known he wanted to run, a lot of people got excited. He's the guy who can easily say, 'No one controls me.' But he's got to go from one-dimensional to three-dimensional. Right now he's dropped the ball. He doesn't even have the ball in his hands."
Alvarez acknowledges the point. "People don't want to elect a police chief, they want to elect a mayor," he says. "It's true, people have their image of me from press conferences where I'm announcing an arrest, and I seem very stern. And that's accurate. That's who I was." So he's been meeting with community groups, teachers, bankers, and homeowner associations to let them see the man behind the badge.
That, however, is about the only weakness he'll concede. Alvarez calls my analysis of his campaign a load of crap. He's holding fundraisers and making appearances every night. Even though he was behind the others in the January filings at the elections department, with a reported $212,000 (by contrast Cancela reported $833,000, de la Portilla $426,000, and Morales $324,000), he says his coffers will soon swell. In April he'll qualify for matching public-campaign funds, bringing him to a total of nearly $600,000. The only other candidate who qualifies for matching funds is Morales. "I will have more than Miguel, and I'll be about even with Jimmy," he says. He'll also be retired and able to ratchet up the campaign appearances.

PCMark Vantage - Drives with Data Testing
For a complete breakdown on the Drives with Data Testing please read this article. You will be able to perform this test at home with the files provided in the article - full instructions are included.
- Brief Methodology
SSDs perform differently when used for a period of time and when data is already present on the drive. The purpose of the Drives with Data testing is to show how a drive performs in these 'dirty' states. SSDs also need time to recover, either with TRIM or onboard garbage collection methods.
Drives with Data Testing - 25%, 50%, 75% Full States and Dirty / Empty Test
Files needed for 60 (64GB), 120 (128GB), 240 (256GB)
60GB Fill - 15GB, 30GB, 45GB
120GB Fill - 30GB, 60GB, 90GB
240GB Fill - 60GB, 120GB, 160GB
Empty but Dirty - a test run just after the fill tests and shows if a drive needs time to recover or if performance is instantly restored.
HDD1 - Windows Defender
HDD2 - Gaming
HDD3 - Windows Photo Gallery
HDD4 - Vista Startup
HDD5 - Windows Movie Maker
HDD6 - Windows Media Center
HDD7 - Windows Media Player
HDD8 - Application Loading
Our version is a little more complicated, but we feel it is a more accurate representation of your real-world usage. Using the 50% full state as our guide (middle bar in each pairing) we determine the Vantage score with the drives half full. The Plextor M3 Pro technically is a little slower than the OCZ Vertex 3 in this state, but the numbers are very close.
There aren't many drives on the market that can compete with the Vertex 3 like this, but the Plextor M3 Pro is doing a very good job closing the gap.

A Celebration of All Things Cultural, Artistic, and Entertaining in Madison
Feb 23, 2010
SpotlightBringing it Home
Back in 1974 at the University of Hawaii, David Furumoto got his first taste of kabuki theater, playing a role in Narukami: The Thunder God. Today, Furumoto is director of University Theatre, as well as the UW's resident kabuki aficionado.
Starting this Thursday, Furumoto not only has the opportunity to share his appreciation for this traditional and stylized form of Japanese theater, he also gets to present Narukami to Madison audiences.
The story centers on the powerful Buddhist priest Narukami who strikes a deal with the Emperor. In exchange for a male heir, the Emperor vows to grant Narukami anything he wants. But when the Emperor denies his wish, Narukami traps all the gods of rain as punishment, causing a severe draught. As the Emperor seeks an end to the suffering, he and his coconspirators must be careful: If the priest is angered he can transform into a demon.
Along with Narukami, University Theatre presents The Zen Substitute, a comedic one-act about a man who's grown tired of his smothering wife and takes refuge in a mistress. The situation works well—until his wife finds out about the affair.
Furumoto looks forward to pairing these works. Narukami offers traditional and easily accessible kabuki while The Zen Substitute represents and older form of kabuki reworked to incorporate a more modern spin.
As Furumoto prepared for the productions with his students and staff, he took time to answer a few questions about the works.
Why did you choose this work for this season?
The reasons for choosing Narukami as part of this season have been practical and artistic reasons.
On the artistic front, it is a very entertaining play that displays what I would call a pure kabuki style. It is also a play that comes from the store of eighteen best plays of the Ichikawa Danjuro family of kabuki actors who are credited with creating the Aragoto style of acting [a style in which costumes, dialogue and other elements of a performance are exaggerated], which is featured in this play in the character of Narukami Aragoto. Literally "rough stuff," it is the bravura style of acting, which depicts kabuki heroes and villains.
On the practical front, costumes for this play were borrowed from existing stores of costumes at universities in this country, thus expense-wise much more manageable than trying to buy or rent costumes from Japan (the costumes are being borrowed from Pomona College in California and the University of Hawaii). This was the first kabuki play that I acted in at the University of Hawaii and thus it has strong connections to my involvement in kabuki theater.
What makes Narukami a good production for University Theatre? What opportunities does it provide for you and your students?
This show will provide students involved with the production an understanding of one of the great traditional theater forms that exist in the world. Certainly it will expand anyone who experiences the show into Japanese traditional theater. For this production, we have student designers who are responsible for the sets, lighting, costumes, props, the technical building of the show, as well as the actors involved. It is our hope that we will be giving our audiences as close to an authentic kabuki experience as possible. This hooks into one of the major difficulties that we face and that is the use of music in the show. We do not have access at this time to a live kabuki "orchestra" so we will be relying heavily on recorded sound. And the intricacy of inserting background music into scenes as well as narrative music is a vital part of the performance so much easier with live musicians, but we work with what we have.
What are you doing with the set for this production?
We got set advice from folks in Japan but in making it fit the Mitchell, we have had to also be creative and that is what the design students here in the department have done so admirably.
What do you hope audiences get from seeing this production?
First of all, that they have an enjoyable evening at the theater and that they come away with an appreciation and a liking for kabuki theater. It would also be a wonderful thing to intrigue our audience enough that they would, if they got to go to Japan, want to go see the kabuki in its home country, as well as keep on wanting to see "English" kabuki productions here in America as well.
Narukami: The Thunder God and The Zen Substitute run February 25–March 13 at Mitchell Theatre in Vilas Hall, 821 University Ave., on the UW–Madison campus. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30p and Sunday, March 7 at 2p. For tickets, call 265.2787 or visit utmadison.com.

Your rebellious phase: It was awesome while it lasted.
We're guessing there was a fair share of sneaking out after curfew and sneaking into girlfriends' windows.
But times have changed, and now you're less about sneaking around undiscovered than you are comfortably sticking out. Cue the the American Rebel Collection from New Balance.
Though you might not be outrunning the cops, these puppies preserve your sense of anti-establishment while ensuring you make known your adult mastery of the style game.
NB's newest made-in-the-USA style pack comes in three slammin' colorways, drawing inspiration from '50s and '60s American bad-boy culture: silver and red nods to hot rod cars and motorcycles, plus charcoal and black tones for Rebel Without a Cause grittiness.
The first colorways are out now, with more to follow on August 1 and September 1. So your rebellious phase is set for a stylish comeback going into the fall.
But please, no sneaking through windows this time.

Meter right to keep winter scenes white:
Any beginning photographer wielding a camera in snow gets pretty surprised when they see his or her first results: All that fluffy white stuff, more often than not, turns gray in the picture. The solution? Do not to trust your in-camera meter when shooting snow scenes.
In winter settings dominated by white, your camera's meter tries to make the snow gray. This results in "dirty snow" and "bad exposure." If you're shooting digital, you've made "extra work" for yourself; if slide film, you've created "lots of trash." Basically, the snow in your photos is dull and dark, the shadows have lost all detail, and your mid-tones are muddy. Here are two options for saving yourself from a drift of deficiently exposed snow scenes:
If you're shooting digital, check your histogram. You'll want it to read high on the right (indicating that there's a lot of white in the frame) without being clipped too much (use the highlight-warning feature, if your camera has it). This technique is applicable in warm weather, as well — when shooting at the beach on a sunny day, that bright sand will fool your meter just the same the snow did. |

The top 25 places we think should be on every traveler's radar this year.
MoreYou'll find a full range of options, from small budget hotels to Agadir's five-star behemoths. In Essaouira, many old traditional family homes, or riads, have been restored and converted to beautiful guesthouses. In summer it's best to reserve rooms in advance, and for the more upscale riad options you may have to book several months in advance whatever the time of year. There's also an increasing
number of rental apartments in Essaouira and "apartment hotels" in Agadir; both offer self-catering options.
The Souss has some choice small hotels ranging from simple auberges (inns) and restored riads to former palaces and one luxury hotel that's among the best in Morocco.

UTEP Football Pair Named Pre-Season All-Conference
POSTED: Monday, July 23, 2012 - 1:13pm
UPDATED: Monday, July 23, 2012 - 9:48pm
UTEP football's Nick Lamaison and Ian Campbell were named to the Preseason All-Conference USA football team as voted upon by the league's coaches.
UTEP's starting signal caller, Lamaison connected on 130-of-224 passes for 1,718 yards to go along with 12 TDs having played in just nine games due to injury last season. The California native directed a come-from-behind victory against Stony Brook in his debut, completing 24-fo-38 passes for 365 yards and three TDs. After suffering an injury against SMU, Lamaison missed two contests before returning to start seven of the final eight games on the year.
A Ray Guy Award semifinalist a year ago, Campbell was once again named to the watch list in 2012. Tabbed second team All-Conference USA in 2011, Campbell ranked fourth nationally and first in C-USA in punting with an average of 46.1 yards (third in UTEP history), kicking 48 times for a total of 2,214 yards. He registered 18 punts covering 50+ yards and averaged 50+ yards in three games in 2011.
Fall practice is slated to begin on Aug. 6. UTEP opens its 2012 season on Sept. 1 versus Oklahoma in the Sun Bowl.

It was 30 years ago in June that Bill Rudman (L. above; Eric Coble. R) suggested to Robert Conrad that he, Rudman, do a weekly program of Broadway musicals. Bill had grown up listening to a Saturday night two hour Broadway program on WCLV that Conrad did from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, prior to his legendary WCLV Saturday Night show. Conrad bought the idea, and thus was born Broadway Melody. The name was later changed to Footlight Parade when the program went national. It's now heard on some 100 stations around the country as well as twice a week on the Broadway Channel of Sirius/XM satellite radio, where its called On the Aisle. Here on WCLV, the show is aired on Saturdays at 6:00 PM.
The program is more than just spinning an original cast album or two, Each show has a theme that ties the airing together - songs about unrequited love, songs about writers or music from shows from certain years. From time to time, Bill includes interviews with theatrical personalities such as George Abbott and Hugh Martin.
A few years ago, Robert Conrad was quoted as saying, "We discovered that our classical music listeners really want to hear Broadway, too; because the show explores the vast landscape of theater and film musicals with imagination, taste and an extremely deep knowledge of the subject."
