"Rack in a Box" Reliability and Consolidation Advantages Poised to End the Reign of Mechanical Storage Arrays in the Data Center
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — September 27, 2011 — Violin Memory, Inc., provider of the world's fastest and most scalable Memory Arrays, today introduced the Violin 6000 Series flash Memory Arrays, the industry's first all-silicon storage systems with the reliability, performance and economics to be deployed as mission-critical primary storage. The 6000 Series marks a new flash-based vision for the future of enterprise storage and presents compelling competition for decades-old mechanical storage arrays that have long dominated corporate data centers. With 80 percent reduction in cost per input/output operations per second (IOPS) and a 15:1 reduction in physical consolidation of hardware from a disk array vendor, Violin's "Rack in a Box" approach paves the way for CIOs to leverage all-silicon enterprise storage as the foundation for the most data-intensive enterprise environments, including those supporting virtualization, private and public clouds, and Big Data initiatives.
Violin also unveiled the new Violin 3220, doubling the storage capacity of the 3200 Series to 20 terabytes (TB) of SLC per 3U shelf. Together, Violin's 3000 and 6000 Series transforms the industry by addressing all requirements for flash in the data center – from specialized departmental application acceleration use-cases to business-critical enterprise and primary storage.
"The need for real time access to applications and data is challenging many CIOs and data center managers in data-intensive enterprise environments," said Jeff Janukowicz, research director for solid state storage at IDC. "All-silicon enterprise storage solutions, such as Violin's Memory Arrays, that incorporate highly reliable system-level enterprise design features provide CIOs a new way to accelerate their storage infrastructures."
An all-in-one solution, the 6000 Series provides CIOs a fast lane to the all-silicon data center with Memory Arrays designed from the "ground up" with the high availability that is demanded of strategic data center resources. Unlike others, the 6000 Series introduces a new level of performance density with full enterprise reliability in a 3U SAN attached platform. Violin's unique approach to flash aggregation allowed the design of a completely hot swappable platform that provides sustained and balanced performance to accelerate all business critical applications, allowing them to be virtualized and deployed in private clouds. Deploying Tier 1 Memory Arrays leads to extensive server compression and software license savings. With the ability to house more than 160 TBs in a rack with 10 million IOPS and 40GB/s performance, Violin's Memory Arrays are the foundation for a truly balanced storage layer that ensures the full utilization of compute resources and expensive software licenses.
"The overwhelming response to the Violin 6000 Series from our customers and partners has made it clear that the future of primary storage within the Global 5000 is flash Memory Arrays," said Dr. Donald Basile, CEO of Violin Memory. "We built the 6000 from the ground up, using our own extensive software and hardware intellectual property, to give CIOs the highest reliability, performance, serviceability, space and power compression, and cost savings demanded in enterprise environments. We offer CIOs both the performance and reliability to build a bullet-proof, state-of-the-art, virtualized, silicon data center."
Delivering mission critical availability without compromising performance requires a sophisticated systems approach that tightly integrates hardware and software. Redundant Memory Gateways, which virtualize the flash resources and manage network connectivity, are now integrated in the chassis and remove the need for an external device to connect to the network. All components are redundant and there is no single point of failure in the system as today's CIOs have come to expect. Data on the Violin Integrated Memory Modules (VIMMs) is protected by hardware based flash vRAID. Block or chip failures are handled on-the-fly and in the event of a VIMM failure, data is moved to a spare and the VIMM can be hot-swapped. The combined result is a system that meets the highest mission critical availability standards for enterprise customers.
Violin 6000 models are available based on either Single Level Cell (SLC) or Multi Level Cell (MLC) flash technology. Systems based on SLC are optimized for performance, supporting 16TBs per array and delivering one million RAIDed IOPS. Systems based on MLC are optimized for capacity and support 32TBs per array and deliver 500,000 RAIDed IOPS. Violin's unique vRAID hardware based approach results in the fastest MLC Memory Array on the market. Multiple Memory Arrays can be clustered together scaling to petabytes of storage and tens of millions of IOPS.
Violin 3220 is available now and the new 6000 series Arrays are currently shipping to strategic partners in limited quantities with general availability in Q1.

Iran Doesn't Need Nuclear Weapons
by Shoshana Bryen January 24, 2015 | American Thinker
In his State of the Union address, President Obama forcefully announced he would not accept "a nuclear-armed Iran." This reflects his view that the only objectionable element of Iran's behavior would be acquisition and possible use of such weapons. This is conveniently narrow.

The West Bank Army of the "State of Palestine," Thanks to the United States
by Shoshana Bryen January 21, 2015 | Gatestone Institute
Last week, officials from the U.S. Consulate in East Jerusalem attended a Palestinian protest over Israel's removal of olive trees illegally planted in the West Bank. Coordinated with the Palestinian Authority [PA] but not Israel, the Consulate personnel ended up clashing with Israelis living nearby. It was, perhaps, the quietest international almost-incident you never heard of.
by Gabriel Scheinmann January 19, 2015 | The National Interest
President Obama's absence aside, last Sunday's parade of world leaders in Paris has spawned endless red-carpet commentary. Did Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu push his way to the front, which the opposition Labor party turned into a 1990s Frogger-like computer game, or was his prominent spot long reserved? Commentators agreed that former French president Nicolas Sarkozy's attempts to slide into the front row were decidedly gauche, spawning a series of images with Sarko present throughout key moments in world history. Another video mocked Turkish prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu for being the only leader who did not receive the customary French bise from French president Francois Hollande. Finally, an ultra-orthodox Israeli newspaper photo-shopped out German chancellor Angela Merkel and other female leaders from their front page. In the spirit of Charlie Hebdo, an Irish newspaper returned the favor and eliminated all male leaders from its photograph. Satire lives on.

Copernicus and America's Blame Israel Problem
by Gabriel Scheinmann December 26, 2014 | The National Interest
Prussian astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus was a rebel and he knew it. Well aware how theologically radical and politically mutinous his ideas on heliocentrism were, he equivocated as to whether he should publish them. When he did so in 1543, he acknowledged his expected ostracism in a letter to the Pope: "when I considered in my own mind how absurd a performance it must seem to those who know that the judgment of many centuries has approved the view that the Earth remains fixed as center in the midst of the heavens, if I should, on the contrary, assert that the Earth moves; I was for a long time at a loss to know whether I should publish the commentaries which I have written in proof of its motion." Whatever hesitation he might have had in launching an assault on the Catholic Church's monopoly on scientific thought, he persevered. Shortly before his death, he published his seminal Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, asserting that the sun, not the earth, was at the center of the universe around which all other celestial bodies revolved.

by Shoshana Bryen December 21, 2014 | American Thinker
They arrest you for having an opinion – any that isn't theirs. They arrest you for demanding elections; the last thing they want is to know you want different leadership. They arrest you for having a Facebook page that is out of step, or you don't have Facebook at all. Demanding accountability, transparency, clean government is certainly grounds for arrest. Reading the wrong books. Talking to the wrong people. Propaganda passing for news, often anti-American. They sponsor terrorism, provide intelligence for terrorism, condone and approve of terrorism. They have a heavy fist.
History Tells a Tale Regarding Agreements with Iran
by Shoshana Bryen and Stephen Bryen December 3, 2014 | American Thinker
A movement is afoot on Capitol Hill to "force" President Obama to submit any agreement between the United States and Iran to lawmakers, even if it isn't a treaty that requires ratification. The administration, not surprisingly, says there is no reason to do so. It is also not terribly surprising that the president -- a half-term Senator -- is not conversant with the 1972 Case Act (1 U.S. Code § 112b - United States international agreements; transmission to Congress). It is more surprising that those who disagree with the president in this case don't appear to have looked it up.

iPhone Slim Wallet
One sketch does the job!
The iPhone Slim wallet was created in the search of the best iPhone case with a combination of a wallet.
Something you really just need to carry your essentials and it makes to point in carrying a wallet and and an iPhone is a case. Why not combine those two and add some Austrian tradition flavour.
The case is made out of old "Lederhosen" leather and the genuine green thread.
Made for 3 cards on the front, which you can simply flick out, money on the backside and the phone. With all layers, the case is 4mm thick.

Mine is grown near tomatoes too! I harvest the top, and cook it (leaves and stems) for 2-3 minutes with a little oil, garlic and salt. It tastes like spinach. The bottom will soon grow tall and bushy, so you can harvest every few days. IMO, certainly a great plant to have in a summer garden - pretty, no fuss, productive, and good tasting. |

Just arrived in Vienna, Rollo Martins discovers that the friend he has come to visit is dead
Penguin Putnam
Rollo Martins' usual line is the writing of cheap paperback Westerns under the name of Buck Dexter. But when his old friend Harry Lime invites him to Vienna, he jumps at the chance. With exactly five pounds in his pocket, he arrives only just in time to make it to his friend's funeral. The victim of an apparently banal street accident, the late Mr. Lime, it seems, had been the focus of a criminal investigation, suspected of nothing less than being "the worst racketeer who ever made a dirty living in this city." Martins is determined to clear his friend's name, and begins an investigation of his own...

Alfredo Catalani
Italian Born 19 Jun 1854 Died 07 Aug 1893
Alfredo Catalani was born into a family of well-respected local musicians. He studied at the Liceo Macchiavelli, and in 1872 went to the Istituto Musicale Pacini in his home town of Lucca, where he studied counterpoint with Fortunato Magi (Giacomo Puccini's uncle) and won a first prize. In the summer of 1872 he left for Paris, where he attended the Conservatoire, studying with Bazin for composition and Marmontel for piano. In the autumn of 1873 he returned to Lucca for military service, but was rejected because of ill-health. So Catalani went to Milan and studied at the Conservatory there. He became friends with his teacher Bazzini, who introduced him to members of the Scapigliatura, a movement advocating both a revolt against existing artistic conventions and the formation of new ones.
Here he met other composers such as Böito, through whom he was exposed to Wagner's music. Catalani's graduation exercise for the conservatory was La Falce, a one-act eclogue with text by Böito, performed on July 19th, 1875. Catalani met the music publisher Giovannina Lucca, who agreed to pay him 250 lire a month to compose a full-length opera. The result, Elda was published in 1876 and again, revised, in 1877, but was not performed until 1880 at the Teatro Regio in Turin. After another opera, Dejanice, Catalani turned his back on classical subjects, and moved towards Romanticism. His next opera, Edmea (1886), was well-received. In April 1886 he was appointed Professor of Composition at the Milan Conservatory (succeeding Ponchielli) at a monthly salary of 240 lire, a post he kept until his death.
The merger of the Lucca firm with that of Ricordi in May 1888 proved a serious blow to Catalani. Giulio Ricordi was then so absorbed in the final phase of Verdi's career and in grooming Puccini that he was unwilling to commission a new libretto. Catalani struggled to get his works performed until, in 1891, he wrote perhaps his most famous work, La Wally. Ricordi finally decided to publish Catalani's work and the opera was performed at La Scala on January 20th, 1892. Encouraged, Catalani began work on a new opera, Nella Selva, but he became ill and had to abandon the project. After suffering a haemorrhage while travelling to Switzerland, he was brought back to Milan, where he died five days later. Catalani was important for his influence on the Verismo school, before the rise to fame of Puccini.

We've heard it often in the last two decades. Owners approach their city councils and state legislatures with charts, binders full of financial projections, artist rendered stadium designs and a band of lawyers. The dog and pony show is usually conducted after thinly veiled threats are leaked to the media:
"We're 100% committed to (insert city name), but I'm not sure it's financially viable to stay."
This off-season two NFL franchises are after new stadiums and the wondrous profits they entail.
Yesterday Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton signed off on an agreement to build a $975 million stadium where the Metrodome currently stands.
Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf gleefully looked on. Why wouldn't they be happy? The city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota will pay more than half of the bill. It's hard to watch the news without hearing about the economic recession in the United States. Is $500 million of taxpayer money really the smartest way forward for a state with enormous budget issues?
So why did Dayton capitulate? Of course we heard about the new – albeit temporary – jobs the construction of the stadium will create. More importantly, the Wilf's refused to deny they would move the team.
State lawmakers approved the bill last week out of concern that the team might leave the state unless it got a new stadium. The Vikings will sign a 30-year lease. The Vikings pursued a stadium for more than a decade, but had little leverage until their lease at the Metrodome expired this past year. The Wilfs never threatened to move the team, but the Vikings were frequently mentioned as a potential fit for the vacant Los Angeles market. Still, the stadium legislation championed by Dayton appeared to be dying this spring before an April visit by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell resurrected it.
I couldn't help thinking of BASEketball when I read that.
The St.Louis Rams will try the same thing in the coming weeks as the team proposed a $700 million upgrade of Edward Jones stadium. The agency in charge of the building called for renovations that would cost $124 million. It remains to be seen how much of the costs the team is willing to cover.
You can see where this is going. The Rams are already slotted to play games in London for the next three years. Expect the relocation to LA rumors to explode in the coming months.
And now you want to know the rest of the story…

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
17 When they came down the slopes of the mountain, the disciples stood with Jesus on a large, level area, surrounded by many of his followers and by the crowds. There were people from all over Judea and from Jerusalem and from as far north as the seacoasts of Tyre and Sidon. | 17 He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon, |
18 They had come to hear him and to be healed, and Jesus cast out many evil spirits. | 18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by evil spirits were cured, |
19 Everyone was trying to touch him, because healing power went out from him, and they were all cured. | 19 and the people all tried to touch him, because power was coming from him and healing them all. |
20 Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said, "God blesses you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is given to you. | 20 Looking at his disciples, he said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. |
21 God blesses you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. God blesses you who weep now, for the time will come when you will laugh with joy. | 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. |
22 God blesses you who are hated and excluded and mocked and cursed because you are identified with me, the Son of Man. " | 22 Blessed are you when men hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man. |
23 "When that happens, rejoice! Yes, leap for joy! For a great reward awaits you in heaven. And remember, the ancient prophets were also treated that way by your ancestors." | 23 "Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their fathers treated the prophets. |
24 "What sorrows await you who are rich, for you have your only happiness now. | 24 "But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort. |
25 What sorrows await you who are satisfied and prosperous now, for a time of awful hunger is before you. What sorrows await you who laugh carelessly, for your laughing will turn to mourning and sorrow. | 25 Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. |
26 What sorrows await you who are praised by the crowds, for their ancestors also praised false prophets. " | 26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for that is how their fathers treated the false prophets. |
27 "But if you are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. | 27 "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, |
28 Pray for the happiness of those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. | 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. |
29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn the other cheek. If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also. | 29 If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. |
30 Give what you have to anyone who asks you for it; and when things are taken away from you, don't try to get them back. | 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. |
31 Do for others as you would like them to do for you." | 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you. |
32 "Do you think you deserve credit merely for loving those who love you? Even the sinners do that! | 32 "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. |
33 And if you do good only to those who do good to you, is that so wonderful? Even sinners do that much! | 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. |
34 And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, what good is that? Even sinners will lend to their own kind for a full return." | 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. |
35 "Love your enemies! Do good to them! Lend to them! And don't be concerned that they might not repay. Then your reward from heaven will be very great, and you will truly be acting as children of the Most High, for he is kind to the unthankful and to those who are wicked. | 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. |
36 You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate." | 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. |
37 "Stop judging others, and you will not be judged. Stop criticizing others, or it will all come back on you. If you forgive others, you will be forgiven. | 37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. |
38 If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving -- large or small -- it will be used to measure what is given back to you." | 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." |
39 Then Jesus gave the following illustration: "What good is it for one blind person to lead another? The first one will fall into a ditch and pull the other down also. | 39 He also told them this parable: "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? |
40 A student is not greater than the teacher. But the student who works hard will become like the teacher." | 40 A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher. |
41 "And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own? | 41 "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? |
42 How can you think of saying, 'Friend, let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,' when you can't see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log from your own eye; then perhaps you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend's eye." | 42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. |
43 "A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit. | 43 "No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. |
44 A tree is identified by the kind of fruit it produces. Figs never grow on thornbushes or grapes on bramble bushes. | 44 Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. |
45 A good person produces good deeds from a good heart, and an evil person produces evil deeds from an evil heart. Whatever is in your heart determines what you say." | 45 The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks. |
46 "So why do you call me 'Lord,' when you won't obey me? | 46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? |
47 I will show you what it's like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then obeys me. | 47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. |
48 It is like a person who builds a house on a strong foundation laid upon the underlying rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built. | 48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. |
49 But anyone who listens and doesn't obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will crumble into a heap of ruins." | 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete." |

Syrian State TV reported early this morning that "two terrorist" explosions struck the northern city of Aleppo. 25 people were killed and 175 injured in today's attacks after two suicide bombers drove their vans into the military security building and the law enforcement headquarters, State TV quoted the Health Ministry as saying.
Aleppo, which borders Turkey and is Syria's second largest city, has been relatively quiet as violence rages on in other parts of the country.
The weeping Syria State TV presenter began his report with graphic footage of at least five corpses, reporting that the blasts went off near a public garden where children and families had been playing and eating breakfast.
"Civilians and members of the military were martyred and wounded in the terrorist explosions that targeted Aleppo," he said.
Concrete rubble filled the streets, as bulldozers cleared away the wreckage. No emergency vehicles or ambulances were visible in the footage.
Like Aleppo, the country's capital of Damascus has been a stronghold for embattled President Bashar al-Assad and has been practically untouched by the 11-month long uprising that analysts say is on the brink of civil war. The last attack on the capital happened on Jan. 6 when a suicide attacker reportedly killed 26 people.
In December 2011, 44 people were reportedly killed in twin suicide bombings that targeted intelligence agency compounds in Damascus.
Meanwhile, back in the restive city of Homs this morning, it has started raining as the shelling by Pro-Assad forces continues. Activists say yesterday's violence left over 100 people dead, and they expect today to be worse.

QPAD QH-1339 Pro Gaming Headset Review
Published: 16th January 2014 | Source: QPAD | Price: £244.49 |
As always we tested the QH-1339 on the excellent ASUS Phoebus with a variety of games, films and music to put it through its paces. The combination of QPAD and beyerdynamics have produced an absolute winner in terms of audio fidelity and reproduction quality.
It would, in truth, be easy to list of the array of things we used to test the QPAD QH-1339 and comment upon this and that but the reality is that by any measure, in comparison to anything you are likely to have ever heard before, the QH-1339 blows it away in every regard.
The build quality is amazing, with the combination of aluminium and steel providing a very sturdy spine, and yet it's been designed in such a way as to be very light too. Comfort is always at a premium with something you're likely to wear for a long period of time. Even in short battles at a LAN party the last thing you'd need is your headset distracting you, and the QH-1339 are very comfortable indeed. There is just enough pressure upon the ear-pieces to lock them firmly around your ears, yet not so much that you feel like your head is in a vice. Even those of us who are gifted in the head-size department found them a treat to wear.
Sound is where the beyerdynamics expertise really comes through and we can't begin to express how rich the QH-1339 are. The aural experience is one of the hardest to express in a written form. Not only do we all have different auditory responses, but we all like different things from our music. So we must revert to superlatives in an attempt to get across how beautiful the fidelity of every type media comes through via the magic of the QH-1339. Are you a fan of bass? Like that percussive thump that makes it seem like your heart is going to burst through your chest? The QPAD has you covered. No woolly, flabby response here. It's tight, focussed and pounding. But not dominating at all. The midrange, the area where so many of the things we hear resides, covers the full spectrum from driving rhythms to glorious harmonies with a definition that is simply staggering. Finally the top end, so often the preserve of harsh tinny sounds, is resplendent with a glassy quality that is still well-rounded.
If the measure of the quality of an audio device is to be able to listen to a film or album that you've heard a hundred times before and find yourself catching something that had hitherto gone unheard, then the QPAD QH-1339 is the yardstick by which all future headsets can be judged. Unfortunately this audio quality doesn't come cheap, and the pricing is unquestionably the Achilles Heel of the QPAD QH-1339 when it comes to choosing a gaming headset. If you're looking at this as a method of talking to your teammates in BF4 or Ghosts then you're missing the point and thus the QH-1339 will seem prohibitively expensive. However, this is actually set of HiFi headphones that happens to have a microphone attached and by that measure the pricing is actually competitive. It still has to be taken into account with our final score though, but the sheer quality of the QPAD QH-1339 Pro Gaming Headset means that it takes home our Performance Award.
If this is the beginning of the collaboration between QPAD and beyerdynamics then the future is bright indeed.
Thanks to QPAD for supplying the QH-1339 for review. Discuss your thoughts in the OC3D Forums.

Not too keen on the price but it really is the cream of the crop.
Personally I'd say the price isn't bad if these actually sound half decent.
What I can say is that currently the microphone connection has started wearing out a bit. Also, once when I opened it, the plastic side broke into two halves. I could manage to get it back there, it's in two pieces alright but they fit together when the screws are there.
The plastic used in the MMX 300 at least isn't exactly the best. I've seen the same kind of plastic on cheaper lightning accessories; by the time you're going to change the bulb, the plastic has hardened so much that you can't really get it out without breaking it. The clips on the side are plastic, and very_frail. If you need to temporarily remove the headband and the cups, be careful with the screws.
The sound quality decent, the microphone quality isn't amazing but it is far better than some Zalman clip-on or other such alternatives.
When it's all said and done, I'd probably go for some Sennheiser alternative or get DT770 / DT990 from Beyerdynamics themselves and combine it with an Antlion Modmic. The headphones which the MMX300 and QH-1339 effective are, are a pair of DT770 32Ohm limited edition headphones. They're very easy to drive.
I'd probably get a DT770 or DT990 instead, especially considering what happened with the MMX300's in the long run. I'd need to open it up somehow and get it resoldered, it's just the connection on the microphone that's on the loose.
The plastic clip broke when I had to open the headset, as well as taking all the hair out etc. after ~3 years of use, and the plastic broke. I opened both of the screws holding the thing, but I went all the way with the other one after they were a bit loose. I wisened up for the other one (evenly loosening both screws) but such things aren't really expected to be found on a premium product.
Wonder why they can't use any kind of rubberized design or whatnot on it. The new MMX300 version has a bit different headband design to it but the clips are still made out of plastic if I see it right.
The standard price on this and the MMX300 is not worth even remotely what they're asking for. The headset is great, the mic is okay for what it is, but even at the sale prices you're paying extra for convenience. With a modmic you're nearly there as far as comfort goes, and the issue with this thing that the mic cannot be detached, and all fancy things such as volume control are on the USB "sound card" instead.
The main issue with Zalman Clip-on mics (aside from the fact that the quality is carbage) was that it loosely clipped on the headphone wire, modmic with it's magnets will stay there. the fact that you'd use two wires is a matter off a little bit of tape, a wire mod or just letting them stay there like that.
I just couldn't get a modmic at the time, only had a halfway-decent soundcard with an amplifier so these things being easy to drive was a good bonus.
They're good headsets don't get me wrong, but I cannot point them out as "flawless". I've been accused for using a WH for quite a few times when it comes to CS:GO.
Usually when you pay for convenience features, you can think of muting the microphone with PC360's or the options in Logitech headsets coming with the USB connection. These headphones are plain and simple; they don't have any kind of muting system on them. They expect you to use the USB soundcard (which has nothing but volume and mic mute) instead of offering features like the mic mute that the PC360 has.
Arent these and the collaboration with Beyerdynamic datet all the way back to spring 2009?

Joint NASUWT/NUT Position – Literacy And Numeracy Tests
The literacy and numeracy framework (LNF) is now statutory for pupils in Wales from reception to year 9, with assessment against the LNF a requirement from September 2014. Data from the tests will be collected and analysed nationally, marking an unwelcome return to national testing for the first time since Wales dropped SATs in 2004. The NUT is fundamentally opposed on educational grounds to testing of this type and has repeatedly raised its concerns at Ministerial level.
The reading and numeracy tests were introduced in May, with improving literacy and numeracy made statutory for all subjects – not just English, Welsh and maths – from ages five to 14. The Union is, of course, committed to ensuring our children get the best education, but NUT Cymru Secretary David Evans has expressed concern that teachers are being asked "to do more with less". Welsh schools are already battling a funding gap of £604 a year between pupils in Wales and their counterparts in England according to the latest available figures.
The Union is worried about the workload implications for members in delivering the LNF and the associated testing, alongside other initiatives, without adequate time for training and preparation. We have raised these concerns with the Education Minister. Additionally, we have continued to have discussions with those charged with implementing the testing regime in future regarding the content and delivery of the tests.
Clear instructions regarding the tests can be found here and full details have been e-mailed school representative. If you become aware of any breach of these instructions please contact your local divisional secretary or NUT Cymru at email@example.com. Tel: 02920 491818
Oppose School Banding
In December 2011 the then Education Minister, Leighton Andrews AM, published his school bandings for Wales, essentially a schools league table system for ranking schools, pitting school against school and teacher against teacher. It is a policy vigorously opposed by the NUT, and yet another example of an initiative being imposed without proper consultation.
Year on year the NUT has made the case that these bandings create a yo-yo effect that does little to give an accurate reflection of performance. What is more concerning is the support that was promised following the first year of banding did not materialise. The volatility of this system has caused a great deal of harm to teachers and pupils and should be scrapped.
Your opposition to the banded schools plans must be heard - lobby your local political representative by writing to them here. Please help to make sure that the views of teachers in Wales are not ignored by the Welsh government.

NUT Briefing on Pay, Pensions and Education Spending in Wales
This briefing shows how the Westminster Government's spending review will affect Wales and how the Welsh Assembly Government's Budget for 2011-12 will affect Welsh schools and their students. The Holtham Commission had already confirmed that Wales was underfunded. Following a settlement reduction in Wales funding, it is inevitable that schools will continue to suffer.

NUT wins assurances but funding gap widens
The NUT Cymru campaign demanding Fair Play for Children in Wales has made a significant impact on the indefensible disparity in funding provision between Wales and England.
"I want to make sure that we spend the right amount of money on education, so I am making a commitment in this manifesto to spend 1% above the block grant every year until we reach a situation where we have parity of funding per head of pupil in England." Carwyn Jones First Minister for Wales
"I want to see more funding going to schools." Leighton Andrews Education Minister
These commitments are welcome. However, the gap in per pupil funding between England and Wales has widened to £604, according to January 2011 figures. We are calling on the Welsh Government to close the funding gap now. If the First Minister is to deliver on his pledge there needs to be a greater increase in spend than the promised one per cent above the block grant.
What you can do to help
We are now asking all school representatives to set up campaign groups in their schools and ask all teachers to get involved. Please also encourage all members to go to www.teachers.org.uk/walesfunding to sign our petition. If there are teachers in your school who are not yet members of the NUT, please encourage them to join. They can join online at http://www.teachers.org.uk or by phoning our joining hotlines on 0845 300 1669 or 020 7380 6369.
Let's make 2011 the year that we achieve "Fair Play for Children in Wales".
Please support our campaign for 'Fair Play for children in Wales'. Here is a quick and easy way in which you can show your support: sign our online petition on behalf of the children of Wales.

As the title suggests I need to know what pot would be suitable for a kaffir lime seedling as I'll be moving house soon and have a possible 15 seedlings to move or will they be alright in the tray they are in which is 6 x 8 x 1.5 deep.
Obviously I'm looking for a minimum without harming them. Regards
Follow-Up Postings:
depending on how old they are,im assuming not very old, they would be just fine in a 6"(not sure what cm that is) for a good year or so. mike |
They're just sprouts atm just for a few weeks really until I'm moved in I wouldn't think they'll get above a few inches high. |
they should be ok for a bit. I germinated some grapefruit seeds a few months back and when I thinned them after the second set of leaves the roots where already about 3 inches long. You should transplant them right after that to be sure the roots dont get to tangled. mike |
Ok Mike thanks. I'll get some pics up when they're up and about too ŅüŚ |

A week after Fox made users wait to watch new shows on Hulu for free, tech site TorrentFreak says they've seen a drastic rise in the volume of illegal downloads of Fox shows.
TorrentFreak reported that over the first five days of Fox's service change, Hell's Kitchen saw an over 100 percent rise in illegal downloads compared with three previous episodes, and that MasterChef saw a rise of over 189 percent for the same comparison.
Fox instituted the delay to mollify the cable companies, who pay them the lions share of their revenue in re-trans rights. A week of exclusivity makes these incumbents feel better about the pretty penny they are shelling out for content.
For consumers of course, waiting over a week for a new episode (or making personal schedule changes to catch it in primetime) is far from an ideal or realistic expectation, especially for audiences members who have grown accustomed to on-demand viewing.
TorrentFreak also pointed out that Hulu.com and other legal online content venues had decreased illegal download traffic, proving that a lot of viewers want to watch legally if they can, even sitting through multiple ads online.
Now customers who used to watch their favorite shows on Hulu.com the day after they aired have three options: they can wait eight days for the show to appear for free as usual, they can pay for the content, or they can pirate it online. And after having their content provided for free for years, the majority of the slighted viewer base probably isn't going to line Fox's coffers to have it back.
NBC and the other wait-and-see networks are likely watching very closely as Fox tests the waters of the pay wall. But the real question, as bids come in today from the giants of the tech world who are interested in leveraging Hulu for their burgeoning web TV empires, is whether this will take even more of the sheen off an already-battered brand.

While professional hooners like Ken Block and Rhys Millen put on a good drifting show, there's nothing quite like authentic JDM drifting action. Japan is home to the sport, and the Tokyo Auto Salon is the perfect place to showcase the art form, and this year's show had a special guest lined up.
The fun begins as a Toyota GT-86 (which will come here in U.S.-spec form as the Scion FR-S) and an old school AE86 perform in what seems to be a perfectly choreographed drift dance, as the GT-86 takes the lead from its classic predecessor. The two leave a trail of smoke behind as they slide sideways in complete unison, and while the crowd is engrossed in the show, they aren't ready for what's about to happen next as an unsuspecting Lexus LFA roadster glides onto the tarmac and steals the spotlight.
The level of excitement is clearly turned up a notch, not only because the $400,000 LFA is as rare as they come, but perhaps because the topless LFA roadster isn't even scheduled to go on sale until 2014. Even the LFA's screaming 4.8-liter V-10 engine can't drown out the oohs and aahs from the crowd. Watch the LFA roaster steal the show and the rest of the drifting demo in the video below.

The architects wanted the skyscraper to lean dramatically toward the central park, so they built the structure with a bowed front and back to equally distribute the downward forces on the foundation.

Has anyone written a contract where a realtor gets a flat fee for finding land that ends in closing a deal? Often, sellers don't want to work with (share profits with) an agent when they first put out that FSBO sign and agents would not make these properties known to potential buyers. If I (as a buyer) was willing to contract with a realtor for a flat fee for any land (FSBO or not) brought to my attention that ended with a sale, I would have access to more of the market. Has anyone had success with this approach or suggestions for contract wording? I understand that I would have to find a realtor that would accept such a contract. I am thinking the flat fee would be half-way between 3% of the lowest amount I hope to pay for desired land and 3% of the most I am willing to pay for land. Ralph |

Follow-Up Postings:
In my area, its not unusual for land listings to offer compensation of 5%. Typically, in my area, mobile homes and land have "customary" commission rates of 10%. Why not just make it 3% of the selling price. If you offer something enticing enough, an agent will go the extra mile, knowing they will be compensated. Of course it really depends on the price range you are talking about. |

I've got no personal experience, but I think that's a great idea, and how the system should work: buyers paying for the services of an agent that's hunting for property for them. |
