Got a tip for us? Let us know
Oct 14, 2012, 12:25 AM | #676 |
Just added a 256GB Crucial M4 to my 2010 iMac using OEM parts. No issues at all. Not too difficult of a process if you take your time. I also found that taking pictures as you go helps you put everything back together like new.
I highly recommend following this guide: http://www.twam.info/hardware/apple/...d-2010-27-imac I also referred to the official service manual. The instructions and diagrams are very good: http://ifix.me/Apple%20Service%20Man...27_Mid2010.pdf These are the 3 parts you need. Got all 3 on eBay for ~$53 shipped. Power Cable: 922-9531 Mounting Kit: 922-9485 SATA Cable: 922-9538 You will also need 4 screws to mount the SSD to the bracket. If you follow the guide above, he doesn't mention you need this until after you've already ripped apart your iMac so make sure you have some handy before starting. I did the same thing he did which was remove them from a old hard drive. I believe what you want are (4) T8, 3mm x 0.5mm x 3.0mm screws (#922-9927 if you must buy "apple" screws) and it just so happens that the screws on an old hard drive was exactly that. Here's some pictures: Started with this To this Just to add this and back to this If you only want to replace the HDD with a SSD, no need to completely take apart your iMac. You only need to remove the screen and you have direct access to the HDD. Make sure you short the HDD temp sensor (apple part #922-9628) or your HD fans will spin up to max. For the folks purchased their iMacs with the SSD+HDD config, what does Apple name the HDD (e.g. Machintosh HD)? Last edited by showtime; Oct 14, 2012 at 12:35 AM. |

Suggestions re installation of SSD by professional
I have a 2011 MBA and I am 100% sold on SSDs. I can't imagine going back to an HHD as a boot disk. I am about to purchase an iMac 21.5 inch refurb with a HDD and I am considering options to have SSD installed leaving HDD in place. I am not comfortable doing work my self. One option is to drop ship the new refurb iMac to OWC and have them sell me an SSD and also install the SSD and then ship the computer to me. The whole thing seems to make sense to me - price is reasonable etc. Does anyone have any experience with OWC service work? Is it reliable?

The ODD sensor is an external temp sensor you would stick the SSD. I guess if it really doesn't get that warm, fans would never spin up and the end product is really the same. |

Hi All,
I have a late-2009 27" C2D iMac and plan to replace my ODD with an SSD. I've read this entire thread and just have a quick question: Any idea if this bracket will work for me? http://www.shophde.com/n104.html Also, just to verify, because I'm not adding a drive (just replacing), I won't have to take the logic board out to add the extra SATA cable; just a straight swap, right? Thanks! |

Oct 29, 2012, 02:34 PM | #682 | |
As soon as you remove the display, the hard drive is right there. No need to take out the logic board; just swap in the SSD. As far as the temp sensor, I left it hanging and bought HDFANCONTROL for $30. It uses the SMART to read the temp and controls the fan accordingly. Hope that helps

Thanks for the reply, but I might not have been clear enough. I'm not replacing the current hard drive, I want to take out the SuperDrive (or Optical Disk Drive -- ODD) and put the SSD in there. I'm going to leave my 1TB HDD drive as-is. With that in mind, anyone have any thoughts on that particular bracket? |

I do realize that this jumper cable may be just an expensive alternative to sticking a piece of wire to the existing HDD Temp Sensor in order to "short-circuit it". However, I don't mind spending on this cable if I can get the 'official' fix to the fan problem. I know Apple makes it difficult for us consumers to upgrade the HDDs of our iMacs. On the other hand, us consumers don't make things a lot easier as there seems to be only a few mentions of this Apple Jumper Cable or Part # 922-9628 even though it seems to be the 'official' solution to the fan issue when upgrading HDDs to SSDs.

A few hours ago I did the HDD Replacement process to my Mid-2010 21.5" iMac. I used Icy Dock MB982SP-1S as my 2.5"->3.5" adapter (for Samsung 830) and Apple HDD Temp Sensor Jumper Cable (922-9628) to solve the fan problem (which works for both OS X and Windows).
Everything else was really easy about the installation but the four cables you need to disconnect were a pain in the butt. I spend half an hour trying to pull the vertical sync cable out of its socket using my nails, fingers and pliers. It's really tight! The LED backlight power cable was almost as hard even after I had cleared the locking mechanism. And the display data cable... Well it came off all by itself. Apparently my unit had been put together carelessly as a part of the display data cable was bent on top of itself which must have lead to its coming off so easily. Fortunately the socket was okey! The LCD temp sensor was stiff but the easiest of the four to disconnect. As I was putting the iMac back together, I must admit I was afraid that I hadn't connected the display data cable securely enough as I could not straighten it from where it had bent and I could not fold the flap like it should be once the cable is connected. Fortunately my display works (if that's what the cable does). Well what can I say... It was scary but it paid off. Everything, even at Sata II, is blazing fast from Word opening immediately to Boot Camp and Windows 8 Pro installing lightning fast. The back of the iMac feels much more cooler than before and, as before, I cannot hear any noises from the iMac. IStat Pro is stating that right now my HDD fan speed is 1099rpm which I guess tells me that the jumper cable was compatible and does its job. On a side note, I enabled TRIM in ML and I guess it's automatically enabled in Windows. I recommend fully doing this. It feels quite something when someone like me who hasn't done any PC installations apart from installing RAM and SSD to one Mac Mini and installing RAM and dusting a few laptops (basically just screwing open the bottom hatch).

Thoughts about Fusion Drive set up on older iMacs?
My older 27" iMac (OS 10.8.2) is currently running with a internal 2TB HDD as well as a 256GB SSD (in the optical drive bay). I have used this forum to help me set it up some months ago. I have put the OS as well as apps on the SSD (to keep the computer running fast) and I have used symlinks to put all of my user folder/files on the HDD (to take advantage of the large storage capacity of the HDD). Of course, Apple has now come out with Fusion Drives on their newer computers. I have seen people setting out tutorials to show how to "fuse" their SSD/HDD as a "do it yourself" Fusion Drive on older computers. Seems to me that it would be much easier to set up my computer with a "do it yourself" Fusion Drive and have the computer sort out "what files to put where". Rather than mess around with symlinks, etc. Has anyone been doing this? And does anyone have any tips about doing this? |

I actually just set this up yesterday after installing a 256GB SSD in the optical drive. It was pretty painless though it does require both drives to be completely wiped to join them together.
Simple restore from backup solves everything. Oh to set it up you have to boot from a USB drive or DVD. As long as it's not the drives you are merging together. Also launch the terminal within that USB/DVD and set up the drives there then restore.

ODD speed 3gbps or 1.5gbps?
My brother has an iMac late 2009 and he want to put ssd in ODD. In system profiler the ODD has 3gbps link speed but 1.5gbps negotiated link speed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27924819@N03/8255581740/ My question is why there is a difference between the link speed and negotiated link speed? If he install ssd in odd what speed will he see? ( sorry for my bad english ) Last edited by tsak4; Dec 8, 2012 at 11:56 AM. |

I finally got around to upgrading my late-2009 27" iMac. I was eligible for the hard drive replacement program so I had that done before making any changes myself. Once I got the iMac back from Apple I swapped out the SuperDrive for a 256GB Samsung 830 using this Caddy. I was already using an external optical drive so I'll be discarding the internal SuperDrive.
I also took this opportunity to clean out all the dust on the fans and the casing. While I was at it I reapplied new thermal compound to the CPU and GPU since I had begun noticing high temperatures even at idle. Once everything was closed back up I followed this Guide to setup a Fusion drive. I installed OS X and am now up and running. I also enabled TRIM using TRIM Enabler after reading the AnandTech review of the Samsung 830. The iMac has a new lease on life and the hang-ups & crashes that had become common are now a thing of the past. Hopefully this will keep my iMac alive for a few more years.

2009 20" iMac 9,1
I have been reading this thread with great interest. I am looking at replacing my SuperDrive with a ssd. I currently have a WD Black 1TB hdd and plan on keeping for my home folder and other big files....iTunes and things like that. My question is is at what speed will the ssd drive operate at in place of the SuperDrive...??
Will it revert to SATA 1 or will it run at SATA 2 ?? Any help would be much appreciated. TIA, David Blackmon 2009 20" iMac 9,1 2.66 C2D 4gb Ram WD Black 1TB HDD |

Remote Disc function not found after SSD installed
I have an SSD installed in place of the Superdrive of my 2009 iMac. In fact, I have gone all the way and made a Fusion Drive with the SSD and the internal hard drive in this iMac. Everything is working fine except that I don't see a "Remote Disc" icon on the sidebar of my Finder window. I have a Superdrive on my Macbook Pro that I would like to access when I need to. This Superdrive on my MBP appears as a Remote Disc to my Macbook Air but NOT to my 2009 iMac. I was curious if other people who have removed the Superdrive on their 2009 iMacs see the Remote Disc option in their "Devices"? Remote Disc does not appear on mine and I can't seem to make this feature available. |

Feb 24, 2013, 04:07 PM | #696 | |
The MBP's Superdrive that I am trying to access has the MBP's Sharing preferences to share the DVD. (Currently this allows my MBA to access the MBP's Superdrive using Remote Disc and to me since the MBA can access this remote disc, confirms for me that the settings are correct on the MBP's end) On the iMac that I am trying to use to access the same MBA Superdrive, I have the Finder preference set to display (ie. checked off) CDs, DVDs, iPods as well as external drives. Remote Disc still does not show up on my Finder sidebar. Can anyone else who has taken the Superdrive out of their iMacs confirm if they can access Remote Disc? I am wondering since these iMacs were built with an internal Superdrive, maybe something built into the hardware/software set-up percludes one from using "Remote Disc" since there should be no reason normally to have to access "Remote Disc" with an iMac that came with a Superdrive. In other words, maybe this is a function that is disabled in these iMacs? |

Late 2009 27" Adding SSD
I see for 2010 models iFixIt sell a kit to install a 2nd drive (SSD) with sticky tabs behind the ODD keeping the original HDD and ODD in place. Is this possible on the 2009 model? Will the 2010 kit on iFixIt work? I sent them a mail to ask, but they replied with the hardware model that the kit is intended for and didn't really answer my question! I put an SSD in my MBP which I rarely used because it was slow compared to the iMac and now I can't stand my iMac's sluggish disk (but can't work on a laptop all day)! If it comes to it, I can ditch the ODD and put the SSD there, but if at all possible I'd like to keep the ODD as well as the current 1TB HDD as well. Thanks Barry |

Why is it that some people, when replacing the optical drive with a SSD, remove the logic board, while others take out the optical drive without touching the logic board?

David's reviews
Foundation Park › Championship Course › August 11, 2011
This course is way too long in the long placements....its even longer from the blue tees.
Jefferson Barracks Hist. Park › June 20, 2011
Tough layout especially with deep standing water after torrential rains.
Rikli Family DGC › January 18, 2011
This is a nice course with a great setting. The course flows around Silver Lake Park bringing several lakes into play on a few holes. The course is a mix of long open shots to really narrow groomed fairways. There are several holes with blind approaches to the pin. The course also has good elevation changes throughout. The course is located in Silver Lake Park in Highland, IL just a short drive from St. Louis, MO. Get there before the trees get their leaves though because this course will become really difficult in the summer and you are likely to lose a few discs.

Signs are up, course plays really tough in the summer due to foliage growth.

Oguchi Onyewu and Brad Guzan saw their UEFA Cup dreams dashed while David Beckham saw his chances of making a permanent move to AC Milan dented as all three watched their team suffer disappointed results on Thursday.
Milan blew a two-goal lead at home against Werder Bremen as Peruvian striker Claudio Pizarro struck for two second-half goals to give Bremen a 2-2 draw, and a series victory on away goals to send the Italian power packing.
Onyewu's fate seemed sealed a week ago when Standard Liege suffered a 3-0 first-leg loss to Portuguese club Braga. Liege could only muster a 1-1 draw at home to see their European campaign ended.
Guzan got what could be his last club start for some time as he and an Aston Villa squad of mostly reserve players fell to CSKA Moscow, 2-0, to lose on aggregate. Fellow American Eric Lichaj made the bench for Villa, but did not play.
Here is how the rest of today's UEFA Cup action shook out:
CSKA Moscow 2, Aston Villa 0 (CSKA wins series, 3-1)
Manchester City 2, FC Copenhagen 1 (Manchester City wins series, 4-3)
FC Metalist Kharkiv 2, Sampdoria 0 (FC Metalist Kharkiv wins series, 3-0)
Standard Liege 1, Braga 1 (Braga wins series, 4-1)
Hamburg 1, NEC Nijmegen 0 (Hamburg wins series, 4-0)
Udinese 2, Lech Poznan 1 (Udinese wins series, 4-3)
Twente Enschede 0, Marseille 1 (Marseille won series on penalty kicks)

Hi Mom!
Great track selection by Jeff made for fun times for all.
I'm really impressed Jeff has a Trackmania posse that took over the server since I was just there out of random luck. There was some serious stuttering on the track after Jeff left as far as I remember.
BTW Trackmania Sunrise had cityscapes and was a great game even though it lacked the drifting.

Nourishments: The Best Valentine Is A Healthy Heart
Wednesday, February 11, 2015 at 10:34 amValentine's Day is on the horizon, and whether your heart is pounding with new love, broken to pieces, or keeping a steady beat, you need to take care of it.
Choosing heart healthy foods is one way to do so. It is pretty well agreed upon by nutritionists and doctors that variety is not only the spice of life, but the key to longevity, when it comes to food.
Nourishments: Good Morning! It's Breakfast Time!
Saturday, January 24, 2015Ah. There's nothing like a steaming cup of hot cocoa and a Pop Tart to start the day. At least, that's what I thought as a kid, when that was what woke me up and got me out the door to school. I was only half right, though.
Eating something after a night's rest is important, but choosing the right breakfast foods makes the difference between a whole morning of satisfaction and a brief burst of energy followed by a slump.
Nourishments: All The Colors Not In A Rainbow
Friday, November 7, 2014Green lentils, brown lentils, red lentils — I love them all. So how could I resist when I saw a bag of black lentils on the shelf of an Italian specialty store?
Also known as Beluga lentils, a nod to the bean's caviar-like look, black lentils are as delicious and nutritious as their more commonly found counterparts.
Nourishments— A Kind Of Corny Story
Saturday, August 9, 2014I have a great deal of respect for farmers who grow sweet corn. It is not an easy task, particularly if trying to grow it without the excess use of fertilizers and pesticides — not to mention the potential for crop damage by nature and nature's wildlife.
Nourishments: Melon-choly
Wednesday, July 23, 2014With summer in full bloom and melons proliferating on the vines and in the supermarkets, maybe now is not the best time to confess that I grew up a melon hater.
Nourishments: Eggs To 'Dye' For
Friday, April 11, 2014There are a lot of good things to say about eggs. An affordable source of high quality protein, even when paying for the priciest organic eggs, they contain numerous vitamins and minerals, unsaturated fat, and antioxidants. Two of those antioxidants, lutein and zeaxantin, are vital for eye health. Choline is crucial for healthy brain function.
Nourishments: A Simple Snack, In Simple Times
Tuesday, February 18, 2014Recently, a friend offered me some tortilla chips from a local restaurant. I declined, explaining that lately corn chips were making me congested. (What the heck?!) That got me lamenting to him about how much I missed snacking on corn chips, and how Fritos had figured predominantly in my childhood.
Nourishments: Turmeric, The Not-So-Mellow Yellow Seasoning
Sunday, January 26, 2014Look out oat bran, acai berries, and coconut water. It's little, knobby, and gnarly, but fresh turmeric is the food world's new darling.
Once difficult to obtain, turmeric, widely used in Indian cooking, is being touted in magazines, blogs, and alternative medicine sites as the be-all and end-all to so many ailments, that it is hard to keep track. Natural foods supermarkets are now stocking the ginger-lookalike root, along with the more familiar powdered turmeric root.
Nourishments: Sweet Christmas Memories
Tuesday, December 17, 2013One of the many interesting things about my Aunt Helen is that while she was a diabetic on a strict sugar-free diet, she was a fabulous baker. Her cookies, cakes, and quick breads were a staple in her kitchen, there for the pleasure of the many townspeople who paused in their day to sit at the table and chew the fat (and some goodies) with her. My Uncle Ferd did not fare so badly, either, with a plate of raisin cookies or cream puffs close at hand, always.
Nourishments: Ancient Grain Is A Popular Modern Ingredient
Monday, November 18, 2013It's hard to believe that quinoa, the "super food," has only now been recognized as the powerhouse nutritional food that it is. The United Nations General Assembly selected 2013 as the "International Year of Quinoa." But this quasi-grain (more closely related to spinach and beets than it is to any of the grassy grains) has been feeding people in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for thousands of years and has been making its way into the international marketplace for decades.

olsenkj06 5pts The hood scoop on the Forester routes air over the top mounted inercooler, not the intake track. And at $4 per gallon the difference of $0.20 a gallon is 5%. 2 miles per gallon is a 10% increase at 20 mpg. The lower cost of regular doesn't make up for an increase of 2 mpg. Basic math.
_E60_ 5pts i cant believe my the underdog won this comparo. The Subaru Forester is the least refined, and least stylish of the bunch. Its not even a crossover, it looks more like a station wagon, or maybe some sort of hatchback. Go Tiguan!!! Its the nicest and most refined of the trio which explains the heavier price.
Fincommander 5pts The dollar is so weak that it's almost impossible for europeans to compete with price tags.
TheLegacy 5pts I really wanted to be a fan of the Tiguan. The competion is killing it and it has the price of an Audi. What is going to be the price of the Q5? The Tiguan does not leave much room for an affordablity for the Q
cessnaguy 5pts Hard to beleive Subaru is still using an ancient 4-speed trans. Maybe they should upgrade to a six speed to boost mileage beyond that of they competition.
Majestic42 5pts Couple of observations:1 - epa ratings for fuel economy were changed in 2008 ... read up ... realized gas mileage is typically better than the ratings, and now it's even more so (link) http://www.edmunds.com/advice/fueleconomy/articles/119812/article.html2 - someone said "ground clearance doesn't matter because these vehicles aren't going offroad" - says who? The subaru is completely capable for softroad or even moderate offroading. It's what they are known for, and clearance and approach/departure absolutely have an impact on that capability *boggle*I test drove all 3, and bought the Forester (XT limited), and I have zero buyers remorse. I personally like the looks a lot, and while the interior isn't up to the plushness of the VW, I liked it better than the more random, "sea of plastic" that I felt dominated the CX7. I loved the Mazda a lot, but wanted a more rugged vehicle, with useable roof racks, etc.For what it's worth ...
Harvey- 5pts Aerodynamics and gearing from the Passat to the Tiguan perhaps? Not to mention the engine still has the added inertia of AWD in the tested Tiguan, while the Passat just had the front wheels to worry about.
pmab 5pts I have to agree with "Ironsight." I drove a S-10 Blazer 4x4 (which you can pick up fully loaded and in good condition for $5000) and the gas numbers being reported for these guys doesn't really impress me. If you're worrying about gas, by something old and drive it for 10 years and save on you insurance payment.Subaru's mills have been getting the same gas mileage for 30 years. I wonder when some improvement will happen.And how did the 2.0t go from getting 21-29 in a 3400lb Passat waggon to an AVG of 21 in a 3800lb Tiguan?
Harvey- 5pts If I were on the market I'd go middle of the road and play it safe with the Mazda. Though to be honest I'd sooner take the more basic Tiguan with the 6 speed and AWD-- oh wait, you can't That's idiotic. The problem I have with that is I can't get the tan interior, only black or charcoal and that's still too cold. I still like the Tiguan, but there's more to be done before these disappointments are fixed.The Subie used to have a 5 speed stick with the turbo.
gonzalezhi 5pts I think by far the forester is the better crossover out of these three. I saw a youtube video of it climbing a 35 degree slope like it was speed bump and saw how the competition just could not hang. Good job Subaru!
vanwh 5pts Forester_2.5_XTi (07/07/08 07:38 PM)the intake ducting on the cx-7 is just as good as the hoot duct for the forrester, only thing is that it's fugly and detracts from th blandness of the forrester.JEinstein (Today 10:07 AM)what are you talking about? less than an extra inch of ground clearance means nothing for these, there not going offroad.2 mpg is hardly going to break anyones pocket book, and the fact that the cx-7 can run on regular severely negates any 2mpg increases for the forrester. its barely smaller too so wtf? the cargo area is only a cube or two larger, so maybe you need to rexamine things before you go on as if the forrester is so much better, because its not, its cheap because the transmission is old school, and the interior is low grade.
JEinstein 5pts Mazda is close to the subaru, but subaru clearly wins.Cheaper, burns less gas, smaller turning circle, higher approach and higher departure angles, higher towing capacity, 0-60 faster, lighter, smaller, more cargo space, more leg room, higher ground clearance.What would be nice if they switched it to a 5 or 6 speed auto. offer overdrive gear so when u're going 60mpg, revs are 1950.I don't know about the VW, probably pretty good. I really like the tourag, but I don't like the looks of the tiguan.
lite_reading333 5pts It's appropriate the author used the phrase "over the rainbow for the Forester as it's the gay choice vehicle among the G&L crowd. Nevertheless, I agree 80% with their findings. I would have placed the Mazda in first and the Subaru in second and the VW in 8th.
Veyron1001 5pts it is the only one with a hood scoop. but i agree on the interior, right off the impereza. Finally, vw fails. Just because vw is german doesn't mean they can have a german pricetag
yuppieboy12 5pts the Forester looks like a Highlander. I like the CX-7 best. its actually a good performer, and its made by the guys who make RX-8s and MazdaSpeed 3s, and its turbo!
Forester_2.5_XTi 5pts Function over form! Great job Subaru! Did they mention that the scoop is functional? It is!
tamarack 5pts Subies have never been lookers, only functional and reliable. Really wish they offered the 5stick with the 2.5Lturbo like the WRX. Maybe I'm just partial since my first car was an '82 GL wagon. That 1.8L 4stick was indestructable.
Ironsight 5pts Wow. After reading the first page stating how Volkswagen's Tiguan 2.0 liter gets 21 combined mpg and over 200 horsepower, I thought to myself "what"? Since when is 21 mpg for a 2.0 liter engine good? I drive a 1997 GMC Jimmy 4 door with 4wd. It has the 4.3 liter v6 engine, very good engine, and produces right at 195 horsepower. My combined mpg is around 23 mpg. The small SUV, popular a decade ago, has now spun into a "crossover" because many people don't like the word SUV. Granted they are not exactly the same, but similiar. So in one decade I ask why hasn't anything changed?
GMfan454 5pts I wasnt going to even click on this article because I figured the VW won just from my experience with motortrend. Glad I did and glad to see Subaru getting credit for its great cars and crossover/suvs.
GMfan454 5pts I wasnt going to even click on this article because I figured the VW won just from my experience with motortrend. Glad I did and glad to see Subaru getting credit for its great cars and crossover/suvs.
volksaudinut 5pts The Tiguan ranges in price from $23,400 to $38,000 across three trim levels. You can choose to have front wheel drive or 4MOTION AWD in the top two trims. The base S model will have a 6-speed manual as the standard transmission. Yay!
volksaudinut 5pts There are some critical errors in the comparison chart write-up at the end of the article. I'm not suggesting that correcting these errors would have helped the Tiguan to win the comparo, but it's good to know all the info. First of all, the standard wheels on a 2009 Tiguan SEL are 18-inch alloys. 17-inch alloys are standard on the SE. Second, check your warranty info. All 2009 Volkswagens have a 3 year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty with 3 years/36,000 miles of NO CHARGE scheduled maintenance. The program is called Carefree Maintenance. Powertrain warranty has not changed and roadside assistance is still covered under the same period as the bumper-to-bumper. Most important is that the 2009 2.0T engine's compression ratio has been changed to allow the use of REGULAR unleaded without any consequence!

Breast Cancer walkers raise $300,000 in Corpus Christi race
Thousands walk to raise awareness
CORPUS CHRISTI - Pink prevailed.
It poured through the Watergarden, and an ocean of 5,000-meter walkers wearing it packed the grass, streets and parking lots from the art museum to Heritage Park on Saturday.
Tots tiptoed in pink tutus, pink-clad parents pushed infants in strollers and grandparents gussied up with pink T-shirts, bonnets and caps.
Dave Arevalos, 42, painted his face pink for the 5k trek with nine of his 12 children.
Iraq veteran Ernest Ramirez, 30, marched alongside his family in a pink gorilla suit.
More than 475 teams with about 15,000 walkers raised $300,000 by Saturday for research to fight breast cancer. Teams have through the end of the month to continue raising funds, which will include proceeds from the raffle of a pink Camaro.
"Every year it's bigger and better," said Tess Egan, 2012 Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk organizer. The Corpus Christi event, in its fourth year, is one of 165 walks nationwide. The first walk in 2009 yielded a third as many walkers and half the funds.
Everyone knows someone who died, is fighting or has survived breast cancer, Egan said. Thousands of women in the Coastal Bend will be diagnosed in the next year, according to the American Cancer Society.
Participants paused for the national anthem, staring upward at the American flag dangling from the boom of a 30-ton pink crane. Vocalist Hilda Lamas belted a high note with such vibrato it burst a speaker.
After the anthem, the crowd surged forward to the beat of "Party Rock Anthem," with 8-year-old Hunter Lathrop atop the pink crane platform kicking his heels sideways while swishing his arms to the words: " ... Everybody just have a good time ..."
A wave of pink spilled along Shoreline Boulevard, filling the walkway and street.
A line of 13 Kolda Elementary School Royal Cadettes Dance Team girls squealed at teams while whipping pink streamers as they passed.
"Awesome," yelled dancer Desi Elmore, 8.
It was the exact sentiment shared by Bonnie Lee, 47, a third generation breast cancer survivor.
"My grandmother told me I'd live life for other people, and now I have learned she was right," Lee said. "I'm the example of people knowing breast cancer is in their family but still not being tested."
Her grandmother died in 1989.
Her mother and sister each lost breasts to the disease. She was a single mom and didn't learn about her own cancer until she tried to buy breast implants.
"That's when I found out," she said. "Then I just knew no man would want me."
But she was wrong.
She married three months before a double mastectomy in 2007, and her husband not only supported her while in the hospital but helped other women in treatment try on wigs, the Michigan native said.
Lee has been at each walk spreading her message to others — with 10 family members on her team the first year and 42 supporters this year.
"I'm here for all the women who, like me, didn't make time to be tested but later lost their lives," Lee said. "My biggest thing now is living to push others to get tested — just like grandma said I would."

Samsung ST93 Review
Considering the competitive price of the Samsung ST93 and the type of consumer that it's aimed at, the image quality is surprisingly good. We got some lovely pictures from it despite the terrible UK winter weather we had while the test was underway. Colours are rendered realistically without too much saturation and we like the fun effects that the camera has such as miniature mode and vintage camera effect. While these aren't new and certainly don't rock the boat, they're good enough to have a bit of fun with on a day out.
If we were to be critical – and we have to be so that manufacturers will further improve their products- we don't like the Samsung ST93's slant which is supposed to make self portraits easier to do. It's subjective and one mans trash is another man's treasure. The ST93 shows excellent bravado in fighting noise, but it's a good job because the sensor suffers from it right from the start. We also found that every time we opened the battery door, the battery popped out despite having a locking clasp.
The Samsung ST93 takes MicroSD which is the same format as Samsung mobile phones accept, so if you have one, you can chop and change. It's a good idea from that respect and also ensures that the cameras can be smaller, although its all too easy to lose the tiny card.
We were pretty presumptuous about the ST93. We expected a badly made, badly performing camera that was another £100 model churned out for the masses. What we have instead is a reasonably well made little digital compact camera with a bright screen, sharp pictures and some good software built into it. If you're looking for a small, pocketable digital compact camera with high resolution, reasonable build quality and fun features then you should definitely take a look at the Samsung ST93.

When to see it
These events are part of the Autumn 2015 season.
The Story
The young soldier Don José intends to marry Micaëla, a girl from his home village. But when he meets the sensual and high-spirited Carmen, he sacrifices everything to be with her.
Read more… (Contains spoilers)
Carmen is the most popular work from French composer Georges Bizet. For this, his 17th and last opera, Bizet took inspiration from the popular novella by Prosper Mérimée, which had enticed French readers with exotic tales of Spain. Its heady combination of passion, sensuality and violence initially proved too much for the stage and the opera was a critical failure on its premiere in 1875. Bizet died shortly after, and never learned of the spectacular success Carmen would achieve. Popular around the world, the opera has been performed more than five hundred times at Covent Garden alone.
The opera contains many much-loved numbers, such as Carmen's seductive Habanera and Escamillo's rousing Toreador Song, in which he celebrates the thrill of the bullfight. In Francesca Zambello's 2006 production for The Royal Opera, richly coloured designs by Tanya McCallin capture the sultry heat of the Spanish sun, while ranks of soldiers, crowds of peasants, gypsies and bullfighters bring 19th-century Seville to life.

On Wikipedia
Carmen is an opera in four acts by the French composer Georges Bizet. The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on a novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée. The opera was first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, on 3 March 1875, and at first was not particularly successful. Its initial run extended to 36 performances, before the conclusion of which Bizet died suddenly, and thus knew nothing of the opera's later celebrity.The opera, written in the genre of opéra comique with musical numbers separated by dialogue, tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery Gypsy, Carmen. José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties, yet loses Carmen's love to the glamorous toreador Escamillo, after which José kills her in a jealous rage. The depictions of proletarian life, immorality and lawlessness, and the tragic death of the main character on stage, broke new ground in French opera and were highly controversial. After the premiere, most reviews were critical, and the French public was generally indifferent. Carmen initially gained its reputation through a series of productions outside France, and was not revived in Paris until 1883; thereafter it rapidly acquired celebrity at home and abroad, and continues to be one of the most frequently performed operas; the "Toreador song" from act 2 is among the best known of all operatic arias. Later commentators have asserted that Carmen forms the bridge between the tradition of opéra comique and the realism or verismo that characterised late 19th-century Italian opera.The music of Carmen has been widely acclaimed for its brilliance of melody, harmony, atmosphere and orchestration, and for the skill with which Bizet musically represented the emotions and suffering of his characters. After the composer's death the score was subject to significant amendment, including the introduction of recitative in place of the original dialogue; there is no standard edition of the opera, and different views exist as to what versions best express Bizet's intentions. The opera has been recorded many times since the first acoustical recording in 1908, and the story has been the subject of many screen and stage adaptations.

Architosh 3.0 to Arrive This Fall with Fully Modern Site Design
New Site Rectifies Old Design and Keeps It Clean with Social Features
We have been talking and writing about a new architosh.com for many years now. Actually for the better part of five years. Finally, after all this time, the "third-generation" of architosh.com is soon to arrive this Fall.
New Look - Stays Even Cleaner
When we introduced the present design of architosh we were instantly praised for its relative clean design compared to sites back in the early part of this decade. Apple's website has always been an inspiration when it comes to clean design and there were several design elements from what Apple was doing back that we admired. However, the next generation site doesn't look to Apple at all. Our role models have changed.
The image above is a majority portion of our new header bar and it officially introduces a new trademark for us which has been a part of our ToshLetter reports. (more on ToshLetter below). The singular letter "a" done in our unique beta sans font is a new branding element for what will become a larger meaning architosh brand.
The overall new architosh look-and-feel is going to be white, gray, and a blue we have been using for quite some time in text elements on the current site. A generous amount of white-space is employed throughout the site and the number of web ads will be going down by nearly half.
New Features
We are really excited about the new site from the point of view of its new features. Our current site has become a technical laggard for quite some time. This will be completely rectified in the new architosh. Some of this new technology is actually much more exciting for us, the site's producers, than for the end-user reader.
However there will be a boat-load of new features for the end-user reader that we think folks are going to love. Without going into all the features in this report today we'll cover a few of the items that are going to be in the new site.
For starters, for years we have wanted readers to be able to "comment" on stories. We attempted to push commenting into our forums but that didn't work too well. We understand that CAD and 3D are not the most exciting topics to talk about but over the years there have been, indeed, many hot debates. Readers will now be able to comment at the end of all content regardless of type, on the same page as the story itself. So the next time we write about AutoCAD on the Mac, for instance, we expect some healthy feedback commentary. Below is an image of our new comment box. As you can see, you will need to be logged in but trust us, this will be a good thing.
Readers Decide Popular Content
Another major change in the third generation of architosh.com is that the site will now be completely database driven. This may come as a shock to most readers knowledgeable about such things that we are not there already, but that is indeed the case and it has become a real bear to deal with.
This will be a real win for us because the site content will be easier to produce (faster...) and thus we will be able to increase our publishing production load by at least 30%. There is even more to talk about in this domain but we'll hold back for now.
As you can see below we will have a new Most Popular javascript tab bar zone. It will be a real win for readers because their viewing action will help promote what is the most popular content on the site. This means when you come to architosh.com -- and land on any page -- you will be able to quickly see what is popular and what deserves your attention.
Like many top-tier online publications, this box will change actively based on the dynamic calculation behind site activity. The most popular stories is the left tab and will be determined through a mix of "views" -- that is, page views -- and homepage clicks, tag backs, RSS, and discussion via commenting. Likewise, the most discussed stories will be listed based on commenting. A final Editor's Picks category allows the publisher (us) to hand pick some content that we think deserves feature attention. The number of most popular stories will likely be around five (5) but we can tinker with this.
Other Changes
There are many other cool changes coming to the site but we're going to hold back a bit for now. We don't want to spoil the introduction. But some things readers have been asking for over the years include:
We have attacked all of these items in the new site, including some items like better site navigation (though our site nav in general has always been pretty good), integrated site search and -- if you happened to notice up above in the nav bar preview -- we will now have a real Blog!
But that is just some of the new features in the next (third) generation of architosh.com. And we can't wait to launch and introduce the new site this Fall. ---- ANTHONY FRAUSTO-ROBLEDO, EIC.
Postscript: Speaking of the ToshLetter. We have published several ToshLetter PDF newsletters in the past and unfortunately, we have been slow to release new ones over the past year and a half. This will be remedied once our energies going into the new architosh 3.0 can be directed back into the ToshLetter and other things. We appreciate folks who have been very interested in the ToshLetter format and would like to continue to receive it.

Operas and operettas are basically plays (tragedies, dramas and comedies) set to music. Most feature solo voices and choruses and the whole is accompanied by orchestra. The operetta is a light music version of the opera form, but the French 'Opéra Comique' and the German 'Singspiel' also represent lighter forms of opera. The most frequently performed opera composers are Mozart, Rossini, Puccini and Verdi, while the most successful operetta composers are Johann Strauss II, Offenbach, Lehár and Sullivan. |

Budget Summary ($000)
50,000 |
50,000 |
60,000 |
INL's aviation program plays a pivotal role in international counternarcotics initiatives by assisting host governments worldwide in their efforts to locate and eradicate drug crops, interdict drug production and trafficking activities, and develop their own institutional counternarcotics aviation capabilities.
The aviation program strives to reduce significantly the amount of illegal drugs entering the U.S. by eradicating raw materials for drug production where they are cultivated. In conjunction with alternative development, aerial eradication is a powerful method of illicit drug crop control, affording opportunities for large scale, fast moving campaigns. INL's air program also provides crucial helicopter support to host country interdiction operations. In those countries that conduct manual, rather than aerial, eradication, INL aircraft are providing essential transportation of manual eradicators to otherwise inaccessible and/or unsecured drug growing areas. It provides aviation reconnaissance resources that are an essential element in locating, identifying and targeting drug activities and verification of the results of operations. INL's cargo airplanes facilitate the movement of personnel and equipment to remote, underdeveloped, inaccessible, or unsecured regions where both infrastructure and law enforcement presence are minimal.
The Interregional Aviation program supports the operational goal of enhancing political determination to combat illegal drug production and trafficking by working hands-on with host government technical aviation personnel. By instilling aviation technical and management skills and transferring technology, INL builds long-lasting institutions that have the trained personnel and the resolve to assume increased responsibility for counternarcotics air activities.
Accomplishments. The interregional aviation program has had a profound effect on counternarcotics activities in Colombia. The program continues to work with and assist the Colombian National Police in efforts to eradicate aerially coca and opium poppy by providing training, maintenance, logistics, and operational support associated with flying OV-10 and T-65 spray airplanes. Initial aerial eradication successes that were enjoyed as "Plan Colombia" counternarcotics activities in the Putumayo region kicked off would not have been possible without support from the INL aviation program. The program also contributed to logistical and operational support of the effort by employing C-27 airplanes for cargo airlift and a Cessna Caravan mounted multispectral digital imaging system for identification and mapping of coca cultivation.
In addition to contributions to the Colombian National Police aerial eradication efforts, the interregional aviation program has successfully initiated the Colombian Army (COLAR) UH-1N helicopter program to provide air mobility to soldiers of the Counterdrug Battalions. This entailed establishing an infrastructure, training the personnel, and preparing, configuring, deploying, and supporting the operation and maintenance of thirty-three UH-1N helicopters. The result of this effort, a fully trained COLAR aviation unit capable of conducting air mobile operations, is already yielding results in terms of interdiction and ground support to aerial eradication.
The INL Interregional Aviation program has also been instrumental in continued net reduction of coca cultivation in Peru and Bolivia by providing aviation support in those countries. In Peru, U.S.-owned helicopters transport local counternarcotics police and U.S. law enforcement advisors on counternarcotics operations using a mobile-basing strategy. In Bolivia, U.S.-owned helicopters enable the government to project authority over vast areas where drug traffickers previously operated with impunity. The virtual elimination of coca in the Chapare region of Bolivia would not have been possible without the helicopter support provided through INL's aviation program. INL-contracted aviation technical, training, and logistical support was an essential ingredient of the success enjoyed by host nation personnel operating the INL helicopters in these countries. Meanwhile, the aviation program has made even more progress in the effort to establish self-sufficiency in host nation counternarcotics aviation organizations to minimize direct involvement of U.S. contractor personnel.
Beyond the source countries, INL's interregional aviation program has provided support to other Latin American countries in identifying and curtailing drug cultivation through its Regional Aerial Reconnaissance and Eradication (RARE) program. In addition to keeping drug crop cultivation in check in Guatemala, Panama, Ecuador, Venezuela, Belize, and several other countries, this program has provided a capability to intercept drug smuggling aircraft, day or night, on a short-notice temporary deployment basis.
Technological innovations within the INL air program have been many. For example, INL's obtained, modified, and employed excess Department of Defense (DOD) OV-10 aircraft for spray operations. The result was an aircraft that provided more protection and safety for crews, while delivering herbicide in a very effective manner. Additionally, state-of-the-art satellite-guided precision spray systems have been incorporated into aerial eradication aircraft. We have now advanced another step with the initiation of spray under night vision goggle conditions that will enhance productivity and reduce the chance of detection. Furthermore, the aviation program established a technologically advanced system for identifying, plotting, and targeting coca cultivation using multispectral digital imaging.
In FY 2001, the interregional aviation program will continue to place special emphasis on the expansion of successful eradication efforts in Putumayo and other coca growing regions. A high level of support will continue in Colombia in the areas of flight operations and instruction, maintenance quality control, and repair parts. This will help maintain a capability to sustain a high aerial eradication sortie rate against illicit crops. Simultaneously, we will conduct intensive training of police and military counternarcotics elements to make their assumption of increased responsibility for these areas possible. We will also continue to provide support for helicopter operations in Peru and Bolivia, and successful training and institution building will allow us to continue to reduce U.S. contractor presence at those locations. The interregional aviation program will continue to pursue technological innovations to improve aircraft performance and explore new variations of aircraft to enhance eradication capabilities at a reasonable cost.
FY 2002 Programs. The twenty percent increase in the interregional aviation program budget request reflects growth in currently negotiated contract costs for continuation of the existing level of aviation support, as well as projected increased costs associated with "Plan Colombia" implementation. The addition of extensive aircraft equipment to the program via the FY 2000 Emergency Supplemental (33 UH-1N helicopters, up to 30 COLAR Huey-II helicopters, 9 additional spray planes, etc.) is expanding the contract support level effort even beyond that for which supplemental-related funds are available. Several elements of support that must "ramp up" in conjunction with the additional "Plan Colombia" equipment also will be borne by the Interregional Aviation segment of the budget. Examples include multi-spectral imagery and air movement of cargo and personnel.
Interregional aviation activities will continue to focus on key programs in Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru, with temporary deployments of aircraft and personnel on an as-needed basis elsewhere in the Andean region and Central America. INL will exploit all opportunities for aerial eradication while maintaining aggressive interdiction activities. Establishment of host country self-sufficiency for aircraft maintenance and training programs will continue as a priority in Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia. Further emphasis will be placed on programs to upgrade spray aircraft capabilities.

Los Angeles: Pop star Justin Bieber is reportedly romancing both singer Katherine Gazda and model Chantel Jeffries.
Bieber, 19, and Gazda, 18, were introduced at the end of 2013 by mutual friend Blake Kelly and the latter has confessed to her friends that she wants to have his children, reports mirror.co.uk.
"They hit it off straight away and are both really serious about one another. But their relationship has been very up and down because she can't stand the way he has been behaving recently. She is desperately trying to help him through all the scandal and regain his clean-cut image," said a source.
Pop star Justin Bieber is reportedly romancing both singer Katherine Gazda and model Chantel Jeffries.
"Underneath all the bravado and controversy, Katherine believes he's a lovely kid with a real heart, she just thinks he is being led astray," the source added.
But the big stumbling block is Bieber's relationship with Jeffries, who was with him on the night he was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
His family fears that 20-year-old Jeffries, who has a criminal record, is a bad influence, while Gazda simply wants him to stay away from her.
