Since the beginning of time Raw Foods has been around providing nutritional substances for our bodies to feed on.
Then comes greed from man to make money a man made creation to allow profit from Mother Nature. Nothing wrong with making money from Mother Nature, as she is there to help us stay alive but when is to far to far?
Companies today have gone to far and the people need to speak out and fight back for proper foods in stores today! Go into your local super market and see the sad results of greed. 80% of the store is boxed and not alive foods. Just 20% of the store is full of somewhat nutritional Mother Nature foods.
That brings me to that 20% of food, which has only 5%…Continue

When Venice natural food market, Rawesome Foods, was raided last week for selling "raw" or unpasteurized milk,
it was not the first time. In fact, it hardly was of government cracking down on the sale of raw milk.
Police arrested James Stewart, the owner of Rawesome Foods, and two raw milk suppliers, Sharon Ann Palmer and Eugenie Bloch of Healthy Family Farms. A year long investigation lead to the arrests.
While the raid itself appears to have been pretty by-the-book, rather than a SWAT-style raid as reported by natural news…Continue

It has been shown that certain materials, because of their ability to rotate the polarization vector of plane polarized light, can be applied to very large data-stores. One such material (iron-doped europium oxide) requires an operating temperature below 100 K. To produce an experimental device with superior cost/performance, a rotating disk file configuration was chosen. In developing this machine there were many unique demands placed on bearing technology, vacuum technology and system configuration. These and some material considerations, as well as the novel engineering features, will be described.

no offense to you guys, but goose not showing up made your bracket a bit of a joke.
Counterpicking seems to be a much bigger deal in arranged than in solo queue. Thoughts?
Also, why do people feel the need to talk **** to teams much better than them. Albeit there were stomps, it's good to see some competition in the NA scene. I think this gives the other top teams something to strive for... that being toppling/dethroning CLG.
Can you explain the high level Taric play? Having only watched quadrakill this weekend and the clg/solomid stream tonight, every team seems like theyd be better off with...something else. So are the people i've seen playing taric just not very experienced with him? Or is it really worth it for a team to have a lvl 8 taric running around 25 minutes into the game with no items and his ult on?
I get that his heal/stun/ult are very good, but due to current meta, he's not allowed to farm, and seems to give up his lane presence for more solo exp. This means that in team fights at the 20-30 minute mark, he is operating with very gimped lvls on his skills.
^ Should have watched CLG's semifinal if you wanted to see why Taric is a boss.
I saw your commentary on Garen, and I support you.
What advice would you give to a player who enjoys combo casters but has a bit of trouble handling autoattack carries? Seriously, every time I play someone like Tristana, I get gripped by an irrational phobia that makes me afraid to autoattack.

A review of the best and worst performances by the Washington Redskins' offense and some observations after re-watching the TV broadcast of the 33-20 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
QB JOHN BECK: Beck was better than I initially thought. He threw in rhythm, on time and accurately for most of the second half. He threw 25 of his 37 passes after halftime when the Redskins ran play-action off their first-half rushing success and, eventually, had to throw to make up a large deficit. He wasn't nearly as dangerous as his Carolina counterpart Cam Newton, but he gave the Redskins a chance to win.
Beck had 22 completions and 15 incompletions. Of those 15, four were dropped; two were batted down at the line; one was intentional grounding; and one was the interception on which rookie WR Leonard Hankerson ran a different route than Beck expected. Who knows how many of those eight throws might have been completed, but his numbers could have been even better than those that produced an 80.8 passer rating.
One of his finest moments was an 18-yard completion over the middle to WR Jabar Gaffney on third-and-9 in the second quarter. With good pass protection out of the shotgun, Beck moved OLB Thomas Williams out of the middle by staring down WR Niles Paul, who was running a cross short of the line to gain. When Williams slid to his left, Beck came back to a wide-open Gaffney for a first down.
Beck put his touchdown pass to TE Fred Davis in perfect spot away from LB James Anderson, who stumbled when Davis broke away from him just short of the end zone. Beck's 4-yard touchdown run was a play Rex Grossman would have struggled to make. All four receivers were covered, and he simply relied on his athleticism to make a big play. He was flushed to his left and outran Williams, who was spying him, to the goal line.
Beck wasn't perfect, of course. His worst decision was a first-quarter throw to Davis down the left seam that Anderson should have intercepted. Beck later said he initially thought he could fit the ball into a tight window, but his throw was on Davis' back shoulder into real danger. Anderson was trailing in coverage and a safety was over the top. He also threw behind WR Terrence Austin on first-and-10 in the fourth quarter because he didn't set his feet in the face of the pass rush.
Beck fumbled once and was intercepted, but the blame for those lies elsewhere. RT Jammal Brown was beaten on the sack/fumble, while Beck held the ball for a reasonable 3.0 seconds. And coach Mike Shanahan said Hankerson ran a go route when Beck expected a back-shoulder fade. Overall, the positives outweighed the negatives and provide Beck with a decent foundation on which to build this week.
FB DARREL YOUNG: Young's quality lead blocks were a big reason why the Redskins averaged 4.6 yards on 18 first-half rushes. He knows his assignments and is violent executing his blocks at full speed.
He helped capture the edge by blowing up S Charles Godfrey and then sealing him inside on RB Tim Hightower's 10-yard opening carry. On first-and-10 on the next series, he motioned from fullback to receiver and drove S Captain Munnerlyn back, helping clear the way for Hightower's 17-yard gain around the left edge. Young's second-half contribution was minimized because the Redskins fell behind and called only four running plays.
TE FRED DAVIS: Davis' six receptions for 80 yards all occurred in the second half. The Redskins capitalized on their first-half rushing success with some play-action throws from which Davis benefited. His superior athleticism created some mismatches with linebackers that QB John Beck exploited.
On his 7-yard touchdown catch, he ran a slant to the left before breaking back out toward the right sideline. LB James Anderson stumbled when Davis changed direction, and that was all Davis needed to separate. He also caught an 11-yard pass down to Carolina's 4-yard line despite S Captain Munnerlyn draped on his back and arms. Davis's upper body strength helped him haul in the pass.
Davis made some quality run blocks in the first half, too. He helped RB Tim Hightower gain 17 yards with a combo block on which he ended up driving Anderson onto the sideline. Davis dropped an easy completion in the second half, but he was one of the Redskins' only offensive playmakers in a game in which their shortage of them was exposed.
RB TIM HIGHTOWER: Hightower had one of his better games of the season before he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the third quarter. The Redskins' line successfully opened holes for him, and he had a good feel for cutbacks. He also ran downhill and got his shoulders squared to the line of scrimmage, which is Hightower at his best. He threw a quality pass block out of play action in the first quarter, which helped QB John Beck hit WR Santana Moss for a third-down conversion. Hightower isn't a particularly explosive back, but he's solid in many areas, and the Redskins will miss him.
TE LOGAN PAULSEN: Paulsen didn't make a major impact on the game, but he played his role well. He isn't known for having good hands, but he caught two passes for 48 yards, 25 of which came after the catch.
He turned out LB James Anderson in opening a hole for the first of two 17-yard runs by RB Tim Hightower in the first half. He slanted left off the snap, got his hands inside Anderson's and kept his feet moving to turn Anderson out of the play. With TE Chris Cooley out for the season, we should see more of Paulsen in the coming weeks. If he can continue to contribute in the passing game, he would minimize any dropoff caused by Cooley's absence.
K GRAHAM GANO: Gano made two more field goals, including one from 49 yards. If he keeps making them, he'll keep getting his name on this list.
WR JABAR GAFFNEY: The reliable veteran committed some uncharacteristic miscues. He lost a fumble at the Redskins' 35-yard line with 30 seconds remaining in the first half. Instead of helping advance the Redskins into field goal range or, at worst, escape to intermission tied, 6-6, the Panthers kicked a field goal that kept Washington at a safe distance for most of the second half. Gaffney didn't appear to be particularly careless with the ball on the play, but he didn't secure it. S Captain Munnerlyn jabbed the ball out from behind as Gaffney fought for extra yards.
Gaffney also dropped two potential catches. He failed to control a slant in the fourth quarter, and he also didn't catch a long back-shoulder pass on the play before he fumbled before halftime. In his defense, the defensive back contested the back-shoulder throw. But Carolina WR Steve Smith caught several passes that Washington's defensive backs made plays on. The Redskins will need Gaffney to be much sharper without WR Santana Moss on the field for at least the next five games.
C ERIK COOK: Cook's play typified that of the entire line: Not entirely bad, but enough breakdowns to significantly stifle the offense. His worst play was the sack on fourth-and-2 on the opening series of the second half. The Redskins adjusted their protections several times during the game, but Carolina got the best of them on this play. Nose tackle Ronald Fields lined up over Cook and faked a pass rush before dropping into coverage. That fooled Cook, who didn't recover in time for LB James Anderson to blitz past him and sack QB John Beck. The Panthers took over on downs, scored a touchdown two plays later to take a 10-point lead and controlled the game from there.
Cook was pushed back more often than Will Montgomery was when Montgomery played center. On one second-quarter run, DT Sione Fua got under Cook's pads and drove him backwards into RB Tim Hightower's path, and the play resulted in only a 1-yard gain.
RT JAMMAL BROWN: One negative play by Brown outweighs the positives. He surrendered a first-quarter sack/fumble to DE Antwan Applewhite after the Redskins had crossed midfield. Applewhite lined up very wide and Brown didn't set far enough outside to protect the edge. He is susceptible to speed rushes because his feet aren't as quick as, say, LT Trent Williams'. Applewhite turned the corner by breaking down Brown's hands, and he stripped Beck. Beck held the ball for only 3.0 seconds and was in the act of throwing when he got hit.
On the positive side, Brown did protect well after halftime when the Redskins had to abandon the running game. On the offensive line, though, one mistake is all it takes to change a game.
LT SEAN LOCKLEAR: Locklear surrendered a sack to Pro Bowl DE Charles Johnson and was flagged twice for holding. Once he held a defensive end that also was penalized for jumping offside. Seems like an unfair rule to me, but I don't make them up. The Redskins had to replay third-and-3 and were stopped (but bailed out by a Carolina penalty after the play). Johnson beat him with a spin move for a fourth-quarter sack. Locklear set wide and Johnson's quickness caught him off balance. Locklear never really got his hands on Johnson.
One running play caught my attention: RB Tim Hightower's 7-yard gain on the first play of Washington's third series. The Redskins had it completely blocked except for CB Darius Butler on the right side of the defense. TE Fred Davis released to the linebacker before Locklear released. But instead of kicking out to Butler, Locklear followed Davis to the linebacker, and Butler and made the play. We can't be sure whose responsibility Butler was, but the play might've gone for an 80-yard touchdown if he were accounted for.
WR LEONARD HANKERSON: Sorry, John Beck. Mike Shanahan's postgame declaration that the interception intended for Hankerson should have been a back-shoulder fade told us who broke down on that play. Hankerson ran a go route instead. It was an inauspicious first play of his NFL career. The receiver position is one of the most difficult for rookies to grasp because of numerous route combinations that must be mastered. That play would indicate that Hankerson has much more growing ahead of him. I'm eager to see if Shanahan gives him another chance by activating him this week.
• Carolina didn't challenge QB John Beck or the Redskins' patchwork offensive line with many blitzes. The Panthers rushed four or fewer defenders on 33 dropbacks and five or more on only nine.
Against four or fewer rushers, Beck was 17-for-28 for 217 yards, a touchdown and an interception for a passer rating of 82.0. He was sacked three times and also ran twice for 11 yards and a touchdown.
Against five or more rushers, Beck was 5-for-9 for 62 yards and a rating of 77.1.
• WR Anthony Armstrong had only one reception for nine yards in his first game back from a 2 1/2-game absence. He did well to hold on to a third-and-7 pass near the left sideline and get his feet in bounds to get the first down. But he also dropped a potential big gain on a first-down play in the second half.
Carolina's cornerbacks were effective in jamming the Redskins' receivers; Armstrong lobbied officials for pass interference on more the one play, and WR Jabar Gaffney struggled to release freely on several slants. It'll be interesting to see how the Redskins use Armstrong with WR Santana Moss out. It's been a while since we've seen him catch a deep ball, but straight-line speed still is his best asset.
• Rookie RB Roy Helu made what appeared to be two mental mistakes in the fourth quarter. With the Redskins trailing 30-13, he cut back inside instead of getting out of bounds after a catch near the sideline. The cutback gained only a yard or so, which wasn't worth the time lost. Because there were more than 5 minutes remaining (5:43 to be exact), the clock would have stopped running only until the officials spotted the ball, but any amount of time is worth saving in that situation.
Then, on the Redskins' last offensive play, he caught a checkdown on fourth-and-5 about 2 yards short of the line to gain. Instead of immediately turning upfield and gaining the necessary yardage, he first ran two steps laterally. That gave the defense enough time to rally to the ball and stop him short. The mistakes didn't cost the Redskins the game by any stretch, but Helu must learn from them so he doesn't hurt the team in future close-game situations.
• I'm eager to see rookie Niles Paul more involved in the passing game with WR Santana Moss sidelined with a broken hand. Paul doesn't have explosive speed in and out of breaks, but his routes are precise and he understands leverage. He got decent separation during the training camp practices that were open to media, and he has sure hands.
The acrobatic catch with which he converted third-and-10 in the fourth quarter was impressive. He controlled his body well enough to turn and catch a high throw that was a bit behind him. I thought he landed out of bounds, but there wasn't sufficient video evidence to overturn the call on the field.
• WR Santana Moss broke his left hand on a play that didn't even count. On third-and-3 from the Redskins' 37 late in the first quarter, he ran a quick slant from the left. S Captain Munnerlyn fell on him, and QB John Beck's pass was incomplete. But the down had to replayed because of offsetting penalties. Is that worse than Jeremy Jarmon tearing his ACL two seasons ago while covering a touchback?

Minnesota Tomatoes
Images show why I expend so much effort taking notes, saving and acquiring seed, trying new varieties, starting plants and babying them for such a long time, caring for and tending to the plants once in the garden, and fretting nervously about hail when the summer thunderstorms roll through - so I can smile with satisfaction when finally having a slice of that first beefsteak on the dinner plate. Pure heaven. I put up with eleven months of mostly crappy Minnesota weather every year for the one month of peak tomato harvest. As far as I am concerned every other vegetable I grow could fail and I would not care as long as I get my tomatoes.
At present I have nine crates like shown, ready for processing. A very good situation to be in, I must say. I am also supplying some local fellow gardeners who got hailed out this summer - hopefully this will keep the good karma going, because I fear that my turn is way past due.
Happy Tomato Harvest!
"Linda, who is currently making tomato sauce from non-paste tomatoes. It should be a looong evening waiting for it to thicken!" - Yes, but a labor of love.
I grow many types, many varieties, both heirloom and hybrids. My preferences for flavor are the heirloom pink beefsteaks. Many of the varieties I try each year end up being one-offs that I never try again. Experimenting is the only way to find the gems.
I do have favorites, heirlooms and hybrids, that I grow every year for bulk processing needs. They may not have the best flavor but are dependable producers of many medium to large uniform fruits (I add heirloom varieties for flavor). I have been tinkering with the development of a few of my own varieties through cross pollination for just this purpose, some whose fruits are represented in the crate of paste tomatoes. My latest interest has been in trying to develop a large, thick-walled pink oxheart paste variety. Slow going, currently unstable but showing promise. Pretty fun.
Best tomato I have ever tasted in my life was a pink Brandywine, yet I do not grow that variety anymore because I found the exceptional flavor to be hit or miss each year (mostly miss), and an unreliable producer. Was no longer willing to put up with being disappointed so often.
I love the pink tomatoes too! Rose de Bern is my current favourite. However, this year I've really enjoyed Cherokee Purple.
I know what you mean about pink Brandywine. I grew it years ago and loved the flavour, but decided it wasn't worth bothering with because of low productivity and the fact that the tomatoes often rotted before they ripened. Very disappointing!
You sound as if you are having a lot of fun with your hybrid experiments. Wishing you lots of luck with your pink oxheart paste experiment.
NIce looking tomatoes! The white variety is striking. A lot of those could make some interesting sauce!
Growing tomatoes in Minnesota must be challenging. What techniques to you use to help speed up the growing?
"Growing tomatoes in Minnesota must be challenging. What techniques do you use to help speed up the growing?" - In all honesty the only technique I have found to work is patience and acceptance of the fact that the tomatoes will come when they come. And to never fertilize tomato plants with a high nitrogen fertilizer unless you like giant tomato shrubs with poor fruit production. ;) A little bit of neglect in strategic areas can help in overall success and quality.
IMHO as much as I have experimented in the past I now accept that you simply cannot do anything to speed up the process of getting (good quality) ripe tomatoes, as much as I would dearly love to do so. All the more reason to appreciate and enjoy them when in season.
Btw, making sauce with non-paste tomatoes and taking all that time to reduce it until it thickens? My sister does that, best sauce I have ever tasted. IMO a simple method of achieving excellent results of which many people are not aware. As for me, I simply do not have that kind of patience in the kitchen...
The crate of pastes contains Incas, Classica, my own sausage-type, and other crosses.
The crate of beefsteaks include Zarnitsa, Earl's Faux, Big Boy, Oregon, Black from Tula, Mortgage Lifter, Tomesol White, a medium yellow/orange off-type from Kellogg's Breakfast that I saved and stabilized, and one or two crosses.

Recent technological trends in flash media have made it an attractive alternative for data storage in a wide spectrum of computing devices such as PDA's, mobile phones, embedded sensors, MP3 players, etc. The success of flash media for these devices is due mainly to its superior characteristics such as smaller size, lighter weight, better shock resistance, lower power consumption, less noise, and faster read performance than disk drives. While flash-memory has been the primary storage media for embedded devices, there is an increasing trend that flash memory will infiltrate the personal computer market segment. As its capacity increases and price drops, flash media can overcome adoption as compared with lower-end, lower-capacity magnetic disk drives.
NAND devices are generally manufactured and produced to be as simple and inexpensive as possible. Because of the low-cost demands for NAND flash, there is typically no resource applied to validating whether or not a command presented to the NAND flash is correct or in the best interest of the data contained in the flash part itself before it is processed; stated bluntly they are �dumb� devices. This poses a very real problem for storage devices that must meet certain expectations with respect to data protection.
The fabrication processes for NAND devices has traditionally not allowed for types of constructs that would make it easy to add embedded processing/checking power to the NAND device, thus there are only the simplest of state machines incorporated for processing NAND commands on the NAND device. Thus, it is up to the NAND controller to ensure the data integrity of the user data stored on the part. NAND controllers, however, are not �fool proof� given that errors in the NAND memory, firmware, or other components, can cause an otherwise correct controller command sequence to become an erroneous sequence. This erroneous sequence can cause the loss of user data.
Generally, the usefulness of a NAND device can be based on how long data can be written and then correctly read data from the NAND device. For NAND flash, each program/erase cycle increases the likelihood that there will be bit errors when the data is read back from the device. Since there is a likelihood that the data will need to be corrected when read back, there is typically a minimum amount of error correcting code (ECC) that is specified in the NAND datasheet to satisfy the correction requirements likely to be needed for the stated program/erase cycle range.
The prediction of End of Life (EOL) for solid state storage can be a critical operation to ensure continuing reliable operation of a NAND device. With current practices, a NAND device's EOL can be determined by tracking and comparing the number of erase cycles a NAND block has to an arbitrary pre-established maximum and providing a notification when the tabulated count is within a certain distance of the pre-calculated maximum.
It is appreciated from the foregoing that there exists a need for systems and methods to overcome the shortcomings of existing NAND architectures.
This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
The subject matter described herein allows for systems and methods to for data processing and storage management. In an illustrative implementation an exemplary computing environment comprises at least one solid state data store (e.g., NAND data store) operative to store one or more data elements, a NAND data storage and management controller, a NAND data store end-of-life (EOL) checking module, and at least one instruction set to instruct the NAND data processing and storage controller and/or the NAND data store EOL checking module to process and/or store data according to a selected data processing and storage management paradigm. In the illustrative implementation, the data processing and storage management paradigm allows for the storage of data according using a selected EOL historical error correction algorithm.
In the illustrative implementation, the exemplary NAND data storage EOL checking module can be operable to calculate the EOL for an exemplary NAND data storage device according to a selected historical error correction calculation paradigm. In the illustrative implementation, the NAND data storage EOL checking module can comprise one or more logic gates and firmware algorithms that can be independent operable from the NAND data storage and management controller. In an illustrative operation, the exemplary NAND data storage EOL checking module can process one or more EOL data variables that can be aggregated by one or more NAND data storage device components cooperating with the NAND data storage EOL checking module. In the illustrative operation, the NAND data storage device can, based on the results of the EOL checking engine, perform one or more operations comprising, communicating an EOL error to one or more electronic environment cooperating components to the NAND data storage device, add additional parity to raise the correction threshold of the NAND data storage device, and reorganize stored data to move data from a region with a higher degree of risk for post error code correction errors to a region having a lower degree of risk as calculated by the exemplary data storage EOL checking module.
The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative aspects of the subject matter. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the subject matter can be employed and the claimed subject matter is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents.
Other aspects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description, the appended claims, and the accompanying drawings in which like reference numerals identify similar or identical elements.
The claimed subject matter is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the claimed subject matter. It may be evident, however, that the claimed subject matter may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing the claimed subject matter.
Flash storage is generally available in three major forms: flash chips, flash cards, and solid state disk (SSD) drives. Flash chips are primarily of two types: NOR and NAND. While NOR flash has faster and simpler access procedures, its storage capacity is lower and hence it is used primarily for program storage. NAND flash offers significantly higher storage capacity (e.g., currently 4 GB in a single chip) and is more suitable for storing large amounts of data. The key properties of NAND flash that directly influence storage design are related to the method in which the media can be read or written.
With flash media, all read and write operations happen at page granularity (or for some chips down to ⅛ th of a page granularity), where a page is typically 512-4096 bytes. Pages are organized into blocks, typically of 32 or 128 pages. A page can be written only after erasing the entire block to which the page belongs. However, once a block is erased, all the pages in the block can be written once with no further erasing. Page write cost (ignoring block erase) is typically higher than read, and the block erase requirement makes some writes even more expensive. A block wears out after 10,000 to 100,000 repeated writes, and so the write load should be spread out evenly across the chip. Because there is no mechanical latency involved, random read/write is as fast as sequential read/write (assuming the writes are for erased pages).
Flash cards such as compact flash (CF) cards, secure digital (SD) cards, mini SD cards, micro SD cards and USB sticks provide a disk-like interface on top of flash chips. The interface is provided through a Flash Translation Layer (FTL), which emulates disk-like in-place update for a (logical) address L by writing the new data to a different physical location P, maintaining a mapping between each logical address (L) and its current physical address (P), and marking the old data as �dirty� for later garbage collection.
Thus, although FTL enables disk-based applications to use flash without any modification, it needs to internally deal with flash characteristics (e.g., erasing an entire block before writing to a page).
SSD drives are high capacity (e.g., 512 GB SSDs are currently available) flash packages that use multiple flash chips in parallel to improve read/write throughput. Like flash cards, they use an FTL, and hence suffer from the same performance problems for random writes. Further, write operations may consume more energy than erase because the duration that power is applied while writing a bit is extended in order to ensure the bit is written.
In an illustrative operation, computing environment 100 can process data for storage and management on solid state storage device 110. In the illustrative operation, processor 140 of computer environment 120 can process data for storage and management on solid state storage device 110 by executing one or more instructions from processor instruction set 150 allowing for the storage and/or management data on solid state storage device 110 through solid state storage controller 130. Operatively, solid state storage controller 130 directed by processor 140 can store and/or manage data on solid state storage device 110 according to one or more data storage principles applicable to the storage and/or management of data on solid state storage devices.
In an illustrative implementation, exemplary data storage principles include, but are not limited to, (i) deleting items in batch and (ii) cluster items to delete together in as few blocks as possible. Stated differently, deleting data in a solid state storage device (e.g., flash media) generally requires a block erase operation. That is, before erasing a block, valid data in the block is copied to some other location, which requires reading and writing all the valid data. The amortized cost of deleting an item can be made orders of magnitude smaller by deleting multiple items with a single erase operation, such as by clustering together data that will be deleted in the same block.
A second exemplary principle considers updating data already written to flash media. Stated differently, flash media does not allow updating data in place. Another exemplary principle considers allocating and de-allocating storage space in granularity of blocks. Possible choices for an allocation/de-allocation size can include: (i) sub-page granularity, where fractions of a single flash page are allocated independently (i.e., the same flash page can contain multiple independent data units), (ii) page granularity, where each entire page is allocated independently, and (iii) block granularity, where each entire flash block is allocated independently.
Another solid state storage operating principle considers avoiding random writes in flash media. Generally, flash media is an electronic device and thus has no mechanically moving parts like disk heads in a magnetic disk drive. Therefore, a raw flash memory chip can provide similar sequential and random access speed. However, flash media generally provide poor random write performance.
It is appreciated that although solid state storage device 110 is shown to be independent of computer environment 150 that such description is merely illustrative as the inventive concepts described herein also are applicable to a computing environment 100 which includes a solid state storage device/component within a computer environment as well.
In an illustrative operation, computing environment 200 can process data for storage and management on solid state storage device 270. In the illustrative operation, processor 250 of computer environment 210 can process data for storage and management on solid state storage device 270 by executing one or more instructions from processor instruction set 260 allowing for the storage and/or management data on solid state storage device 270 through (i) solid state storage controller 240, and (ii) EOL checking module 220 operating according to a selected EOL checking paradigm described by one or more EOL checking instructions provided by EOL checking instruction set 230. Operatively, solid state storage controller 240 directed by processor 250 can store and/or manage data on solid state storage device 270 according to one or more EOL driven data storage principles applicable to the storage and/or management of data on solid state storage devices as illustratively provided by EOL checking module 220 operating according to one or more instructions provided by EOL checking instruction set 230.
In an illustrative implementation, current and historical bit error corrections can be utilized by EOL checking module 220 to calculate the length of time an exemplary NAND device can perform program/erase cycles, and to calculate the amount of time the data stored on the NAND device can be reliably stored on the NAND device.
In addition to rules relating to how a NAND device may be programmed and erased, by convention, a number of restriction and constraints exist regarding how commands can be issued when there are multiple LUN's as well as when there are multiple planes involved.
In an illustrative implementation, the EOL policy enforcement can take the form of logic gates, firmware algorithms, or both (e.g., EOL checking module 220 of
In the illustrative implementation, the historical and current levels of error correction in the calculation of drive EOL can be utilized. It is appreciated that although the illustrative implementation is described to use historical and current levels of bit correction in the EOL calculation that the use of such variables is merely illustrative as other variables can be utilized. In the illustrative implementation, trend data for the bits corrected at the page or block level of the NAND flash can be stored and utilized to interpolate a curve as described in
In the illustrative operation, an exemplary data storage EOL checking module can be utilized by one or more cooperating electronic environment components to identify data storage components that are undertaking similar workloads. Such illustrative operation is particularly desirable in applications, such as those in redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID) applications, where the failure (or expiry) of multiple disks at the same time is very undesirable. In some cases, the drive might be �expired� before a threshold of the counted method because some type of manufacturing defect or environmental abuse caused additional stress to the part and the number of bit errors is exceedingly high.
However, if the check at block 525 indicates that the EOL calculation has not met a selected threshold, processing proceeds to block 530 where the end-of-life calculation is stored for subsequent processing (e.g., processing at block 515). Processing then reverts to bock 510 and proceeds from there.
A number of advantages result when utilizing the herein described systems and methods including but not limited to providing the ability to an electronic environment to more reliably identify the expiration of a NAND flash device (i.e., that is not available when utilizing current EOL prediction practices�counting methods) so that for NAND flash devices having similar/identical workloads, the electronic environment can de-provision such devices simultaneously thereby protecting the data stored on such devices. The herein described systems and methods can be applied to RAID types of applications where the failure (or expiry) of multiple NAND flash devices at the same time is very undesirable. Furthermore, the herein described system and methods can be utilized in identifying NAND flash devices having one or more manufacturing defects and/or environmental abuse that current practices (e.g., counting methods) could overlook.
As used in this application, the word �exemplary� is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as �exemplary� is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, use of the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concrete fashion.
Additionally, the term �or� is intended to mean an inclusive �or� rather than an exclusive �or�. That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from context, �X employs A or B� is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X employs A; X employs B; or X employs both A and B, then �X employs A or B� is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. In addition, the articles �a� and �an� as used in this application and the appended claims should generally be construed to mean �one or more� unless specified otherwise or clear from context to be directed to a singular form.
Moreover, the terms �system,� �component,� �module,� �interface,�, �model� or the like are generally intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a controller and the controller can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
Although the subject matter described herein may be described in the context of illustrative implementations to process one or more computing application features/operations for a computing application having user-interactive components the subject matter is not limited to these particular embodiments. Rather, the techniques described herein can be applied to any suitable type of user-interactive component execution management methods, systems, platforms, and/or apparatus.
Reference herein to �as illustrative implementation�, �one embodiment�, or �an embodiment� means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase �in one embodiment� in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments necessarily mutually exclusive of other embodiments. The same applies to the term �implementation.�
The present invention may be implemented as circuit-based processes, including possible implementation as a single integrated circuit (such as an ASIC or an FPGA), a multi-chip module, a single card, or a multi-card circuit pack. As would be apparent to one skilled in the art, various functions of circuit elements may also be implemented as processing blocks in a software program. Such software may be employed in, for example, a digital signal processor, micro-controller, or general-purpose computer.
The present invention can be embodied in the form of methods and apparatuses for practicing those methods. The present invention can also be embodied in the form of program code embodied in tangible media, such as magnetic recording media, optical recording media, solid state memory, floppy diskettes, CD-ROMs, hard drives, or any other machine-readable storage medium, wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. The present invention can also be embodied in the form of program code, for example, whether stored in a storage medium, loaded into and/or executed by a machine, or transmitted over some transmission medium or carrier, such as over electrical wiring or cabling, through fiber optics, or via electromagnetic radiation, wherein, when the program code is loaded into and executed by a machine, such as a computer, the machine becomes an apparatus for practicing the invention. When implemented on a general-purpose processor, the program code segments combine with the processor to provide a unique device that operates analogously to specific logic circuits. The present invention can also be embodied in the form of a bitstream or other sequence of signal values electrically or optically transmitted through a medium, stored magnetic-field variations in a magnetic recording medium, etc., generated using a method and/or an apparatus of the present invention.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each numerical value and range should be interpreted as being approximate as if the word �about� or �approximately� preceded the value of the value or range.
It will be further understood that various changes in the details, materials, and arrangements of the parts which have been described and illustrated in order to explain the nature of this invention may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the following claims.
The use of figure numbers and/or figure reference labels in the claims is intended to identify one or more possible embodiments of the claimed subject matter in order to facilitate the interpretation of the claims. Such use is not to be construed as necessarily limiting the scope of those claims to the embodiments shown in the corresponding figures.
It should be understood that the steps of the exemplary methods set forth herein are not necessarily required to be performed in the order described, and the order of the steps of such methods should be understood to be merely exemplary. Likewise, additional steps may be included in such methods, and certain steps may be omitted or combined, in methods consistent with various embodiments of the present invention.
Although the elements in the following method claims, if any, are recited in a particular sequence with corresponding labeling, unless the claim recitations otherwise imply a particular sequence for implementing some or all of those elements, those elements are not necessarily intended to be limited to being implemented in that particular sequence.
As used herein in reference to an element and a standard, the term �compatible� means that the element communicates with other elements in a manner wholly or partially specified by the standard, and would be recognized by other elements as sufficiently capable of communicating with the other elements in the manner specified by the standard. The compatible element does not need to operate internally in a manner specified by the standard.
Also for purposes of this description, the terms �couple,� �coupling,� �coupled,� �connect,� �connecting,� or �connected� refer to any manner known in the art or later developed in which energy is allowed to be transferred between two or more elements, and the interposition of one or more additional elements is contemplated, although not required. Conversely, the terms �directly coupled,� �directly connected,� etc., imply the absence of such additional elements.

Customer Reviews of HP Deskjet D4260 Inkjet Printer
They're giving this away to sell the ink.4/20/2008
For someone that wants a printer for documents and power point hard copies, it is hard to fault this printer. I particularly like it because it is small and I can store it away easily when I am not using it. It is good looking, simple and works. I have a large (expensive) photo printer but don't hesitate to use this for the occasional photo (however, someone that wants a photo printer should look elsewhere and expect to spend much more money). For $70, it costs about the same as the 2 (XL) ink cartridges it uses. My theory is that HP wants to give this away to sell ink.
cheap and fast1/23/2008
Inexpensive printer, prints very fast in draft mode. I have two kids in school, we needed a fast printer that could print out decently in draft mode (to save ink) This printer does a good job of printing in draft mode (very readable and submittable to school) and is very quick. I am happy that I bought it.

whats going on with zwd?
An old woman in Kalulushi has been killed for suspected witchcraft.
Police sources in Kitwe confirmed the development to ZANIS in Kalulushi in an interview today.
The police sources said Lucia Njapau of house number 20 Nyasa road was killed on Tuesday around 18:00 hours.
Police said some residents of Kamema suspected the woman of being a witch and that a mob later pounced on her and beat her up around Kamema farm area.
They said the woman died yesterday morning at her home.
Police are yet to make an arrest.
whats going on with zwd?
I told you that more sacrifices are yet to come! This is now the third death we are learning off since Sata came from hiding somewhere. The first was an accident in Samfya, the second was a ZAF helicopter and now this is the third one where people just turn be animals against a defenceless old woman. You will continue to say it is just mere coincedence untill you all get finished. Sata is a satanist.
It's a total shame that such criminal acts are being given chance to take ground in our communities.When something suspicious happens,we turn onto our senior citizens.Can the police quickly make arrests even if it means caging the whole neighborhood.Senior citizens need to be taken care off and not mistreated.Barbaric acts!Shame on that Kalulushi community.May the good lord receive the old ladies soul.
what is wrong with zambians,,that's a barbaric act.
There so many witches here in Kalulushi. Time now awaits the Chilengi's of 80 Eucalyptus road. We hear they deadly bad hiding in the of the Church. They almost killed umupongoshi wabo in South Africa with their magic where there first born daughter Victoria Chilengi was supposed to get a lump sum of money from satanists. She provide all the medicine to have Victoria Chilengi's husband killed.
They've failed as the Chilengi family ukutebeta umupongoshi for 15 years Lameck married their daughter. All they want is to benefit even more on top of the dowery Lameck has paid them. Where is our culture going?
Mule nashako ubufi. Everybody in Kalulushi knows that the Chilengi's are hard workers, all of them have degrees. That's pure jealousy in your tone, you should be ashamed of yourself, they worked hard to get where they are, find something better to do than telling lies.
Kalulushi is full of wicked people. In their hearts they have reject God and have no reverence for him. Because they think so highly of themselves, they think that God will not discover their sin and condemn them. Their speech is wicked and full of lies, they no longer do what is wise and good.
They make evil plans as they lie in bed nothing they do is good, some of them they never reject anything evil. They have hurt my family so much. Grace Marshall
Killing people is not the answer to the problem of wicked in Kalulushi. Prayer is the answer. Because you don't know if that woman who was killed. Was being accused of being a witch. It is God who is the judge, condemning some and acquitting others
What have we done to kalulushi people? To be treated like dogs. They killed my mum. What more do you want from us. please leave us alone or go to hell.
Bushe Victor Chilengi,Mercy Chilengi,Vina Chilengi and Victoria Chilengi bakwete lisa ama Degrees. The whole family practices satanism and hiding in church and name of degree. Victor was a sexual offender and today you can google him. Why? He took muti to the USA and was sleeping with all his daughters before he got arrested and later deported. Open your eyes!!!!!!!

We stayed here for a week and found the grounds and room to far exceed expectations for the price we paid. A gentleman working there named Warren was particularly kind and looked out for us a number of times. He actually helped us attend a local festival in Parrita(which we never would have heard of otherwise) and was a real pleasure to talk to in general. Warren actually played a huge role in our trip and he gave us many great memories. Another man working the desk Pablo, helped us organize day trips and find good prices for the things we wanted to do. Make the effort to talk to the staff as they have so much great insight. The location is great because it is close enough to Jaco (the tourist city) that you can take a quick drive over (less than 15 min) and enjoy the events there, but also far enough away that the beach in front of the hotel is practically deserted (we went in February so this probably had something to do with it as well). If there is something that could be improved, it would be the breakfast portions (found them to be a little small). Either way would definitely recommend staying here because of its great price, location, and friendly staff. I am looking forward to returning!

In September I brought my 13 year old yorkie, Snickers, into VCA Hualapai Animal Hospital and was immediately greeted by the friendly girls up front. This was my first time at this hospital and right away I felt really comfortable. I explained to the receptionists that Snickers had been slowing down a lot in her old age and that she wasn't eating as much lately. Once they got all of my information entered into their system I was seen by the nurse who took Snickers temperature and asked me a couple of questions. Dr. Strobeck then came in and listened as I explained how Snickers seemed to be slowing down a bit. He recommended doing some senior blood work and x-rays to check Snickers over. We also talked about a new food and some medication to help Snickers move a bit easier. I decided we would do the blood work, but wait on the x-rays.
The next day I received a phone call from Dr. Strobeck telling me that Snickers blood work results looked pretty good for a dog her age! He told me that we should start Snickers on a medication called Rimadyl to help with her arthritis and recheck her blood work in a few months.
Although Snickers will probably be on Rimadyl forever, she is back to herself again. I would more then recommend VCA Hualapai Animal Hospital to all of my friends! They really have made Snickers and my life so much better.

Mechanical Characterization and Parametric Study of a Miniature Capacitor Microphone
A study of a miniature capacitor microphone compared three results: simulation based on physical parameters in an equivalent circuit model, measurements made in an anechoic chamber, and the manufacturer's data sheets. The simulation was in good agreement with measurements and published data. The circuit model was also used in a parametric study to explore parameter sensitivity. Investigations included microphone stiffness, cover opening diameter, as well as the thickness of the annular ring, diaphragm, air gap, backplate, and holder.
