MEA members comprise Michigan's leading education organization
With 150,000 members working together to improve educational outcomes for their students and working conditions for school employees, MEA is far and away Michigan's largest and leading education organization.
MEA is more than a union — it's a community for all who are involved in public education.
Think about the sheer advantage in numbers that MEA members have; if every MEA member came together in one spot, it would fill the Detroit Tigers' Comerica Park — nearly four times over.
If you were to look out upon that crowd, you'd see women and men, urban dwellers and rural residents, Democrats and Republicans, and people of all ages, races and creeds. You'd find 150,000 different individuals with 150,000 different backgrounds and 150,000 different stories.
Yet despite their differences as individuals, the teachers, education support professionals, higher-education staff, students and retirees who comprise MEA form a massive and powerful alliance of professionals with one common goal: to provide the best education possible to all Michigan students.
No matter what challenges they might face, MEA members are never alone. There is always another member in the same building, district or state who understands the challenges and rewards that come with working in education.
MEA provides numerous ways for members to interact and share their experiences. Local association meetings provide excellent forums for members to connect with their local colleagues. At the state level, MEA holds numerous conferences that allow members the opportunity to meet other school employees from across the state and develop new skills together. Social media tools like MEA's Facebook and Twitter accounts provide yet another outlet for members to discuss and mobilize around issues facing public education.
Join the conversation. No matter where you turn, there's an MEA member nearby who's ready to talk, ready to help and ready to act.

allowing it to hang freely. Now imagine you are lowering it into
water until it is exactly half submerged. What shape does the
surface of the water make around the cube?
It is known that the area of the largest equilateral triangular
section of a cube is 140sq cm. What is the side length of the cube?
The distances between the centres of two adjacent faces of another
cube is 8cms. What is the side length of this cube? Another cube
has an edge length of 12cm. At each vertex a tetrahedron with three
mutually perpendicular edges of length 4cm is sliced away. What is
the surface area and volume of the remaining solid?
Imagine you have six different colours of paint. You paint a cube
using a different colour for each of the six faces. How many
different cubes can be painted using the same set of six colours?

Veteran's Day arrives Monday, Nov. 11. The federal holiday will honor and celebrate those who served in the armed forces.
Gulf County Schools, however, are among the few districts in the state that celebrate the holiday by keeping schools open to celebrating veterans.
At Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School, its 20th annual program will kick off 9 a.m. ET Monday. The NJROTC will welcome veterans as they enter the building and patriotic artwork prepared by students in grades kindergarten through 12.
During the program, students who participate in the 21st Century after school enrichment program will perform a tribute that includes the songs, "You're a Grand Old Flag," "Yankee Doodle," and "God Bless America."
The after school program is made up of students in grades kindergarten through third.
The artwork displayed during the event comes from art classes taught by Julie Hodges. These works, crafted in mediums ranging from water colors to colored pencil, were created under the theme "Tour of America" and had to feature a place and incorporate an American flag.
Hodges used the opportunity to expand the thinking of her students when choosing a location to draw or paint.
"America's not just about landmarks," said Hodges. "We're also representing small towns and everyday America life."
Several hundred pieces of art will line the hallways and serve as a salute to the veterans making their way to the gymnasium.
While creating the artwork, it allowed elementary students to understand the significance of the stars and stripes on the American flag and the humble beginnings of our nation.
"It makes the students feel important," said Hodges. "They're contributing something to honoring the veterans."
The program will cover the Revolutionary War as well as recognize the veterans of the Vietnam War, who were never officially welcomed home.
A reception will immediately follow the program. Thank you letters written by elementary school students and the patriotic artwork will later be sent to soldiers abroad.
"We want to show the kids that the United States started with a major war that established a democratic country," said event organizer, Linda Wood. "Now, we have soldiers policing countries all over the world.
"We want kids to see the magnitude of what we require these men to do."
At last year's event Kesley Colbert honored WWII veteran Howard Rogers, whose unit saved a group of POWs on the Island of Biak. Among the soldiers rescued was Colbert's father.
At Wewahitchka Elementary School, the 30th annual Veteran's Day Celebration will take place inside the cafeteria.
Third graders will pay tribute to past and present veterans with a program of poem readings and patriotic songs that include service hymns.
This will mark the seventh year that the Veteran's Day program was organized by third-grade teacher John Huft,
Huft said that in a time of shrinking budgets, the local veterans have been gracious in helping the school where they can. The annual program is his way of giving back to the men who not only served their countries, but serve their communities as well.
"I want this to be something that students can look back on and have positive memories," said Huft. "It's something that they've given to the veterans and brightened their day."
The program will begin at 8:30 a.m. CT. A reception will immediately follow.
Both events are free and open to veterans, their families and the public.

(Attendance: 34,005)
Birmingham Mail: Darren Bent is determined to hit his first Premier League goal of the season today - to remind England boss Roy Hodgson what he is missing. Bent was omitted from the Three Lions squad for their World Cup 2014 qualifying double header in Moldova and at home to Ukraine.
Sky Sports: Aston Villa striker Darren Bent is determined to fight his way into Roy Hodgson's England set-up in the hope of playing in his first major tournament. The 28-year-old was left out of Hodgson's 23-man squad for the European Championship in the summer after being deemed unfit following a slow recovery from an ankle injury picked up in February. Bent knows he is running out of chances and is determined to avoid missing out on a fourth successive major competition.
ESPN: Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert insists he has no intentions of restoring Alan Hutton and Stephen Warnock to his first team plans. The unwanted defenders have remained at the club after Lambert failed to move them on during the summer transfer window, but the Scot will continue his policy of asking the two experienced full backs to train with the club's development squad, rather than attempt to integrate the pair back into the senior squad.
Express & Star: Paul Lambert hopes Villa's £7m transfer deadline day capture Christian Benteke can bring the best out of Darren Bent. Benteke became Villa's eighth new arrival of the summer after two initial bids had been rejected by Genk for the Belgium international.
Birmingham Mail: Paul Lambert insists it was more important to rebuild Villa's squad with eight Premier League prospects than spend his transfer budget on marquee signings. Ron Vlaar, Karim El Ahmadi, Brett Holman and Matthew Lowton have shown encouraging signs that they can perform in the English top flight in the first few weeks of the season. And Villa Park is set to get its first glimpse of their fellow new boys Joe Bennett, Ashley Westwood, Christian Benteke and Jordan Bowery against Swansea this afternoon.
Birmingham Mail: Alan Hutton and Stephen Warnock are still training with Villa's kids and Paul Lambert would prefer the unwanted duo go out on loan rather than return to first-team duty. Lambert's efforts to get rid of the faltering full-backs were unsuccessful when the claret and blues failed to attract enquiries for the pair during the transfer window.
Daily Express: David Platt sends his best wishes today as Ashley Westwood follows in his footsteps on a journey from Crewe to Aston Villa - and who knows on to what glory after that.
Daily Mail: Everton are considering a move for out of contract midfielder Thomas Hitzlsperger to plug a worrying gap in their squad. Manager David Moyes sanctioned a one-month loan for Ross Barkley to Sheffield Wednesday on Friday but will be without Darron Gibson for another two to three weeks, as the Republic of Ireland international recovers from a ruptured thigh.
Daily Mail: Paul Lambert's gamble on youth gets its first test at Villa Park on Saturday, as £8m striker Christian Benteke makes his entrance into English football. The Aston Villa boss followed a high-risk policy of buying young and all of them may play against Swansea City.
Telegraph: Darren Bent is determined to avoid missing a fourth successive major tournament as he bids to prevent Roy Hodgson from closing the door on the career of another senior England striker. Bent has admitted he wants to make himself "impossible to ignore" this season and prove he can still be part of Hodgson's new era on the road to Rio, after enduring another summer of frustration.
Independent: The Aston Villa manager, Paul Lambert, is ready to introduce his crop of unproven summer signings after insisting they have become battle-hardened in the lower leagues. Lambert has included midfielder Ashley Westwood (Crewe Alexandra), striker Jordan Bowery (Chesterfield) and defender Joe Bennett in the squad for today's Premier League game with Swansea City.
Birmingham Mail: Paul Lambert insists there was "nothing personal" about his decision to drop Shay Given after suggesting Brad Guzan is now the man in possession of the goalkeeper's jersey.
Birmingham Mail: Paul Lambert wants Christian Benteke to bring out the best in Darren Bent ahead of the Belgium battering-ram's potential Villa Park debut against Swansea today. Benteke trained on Thursday and yesterday and Lambert is weighing up whether to throw him in from the start or introduce him from the bench this afternoon.
The Sun: Villa boss Paul Lambert reckons £7m giant Christian Benteke will terrify defences — and fire up Darren Bent. Even hardline Scot Lambert admits he would think twice about tangling with the 6ft 3in Belgian.
The Sun: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has called for an end to the pre-match handshake.
Mirror: Ambitious Macclesfield want Emile Heskey to help them back into the Football League at the first attempt.
Mirror: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert insists new £7.5m striker Christian Benteke will help axed England ace Darren Bent hit international form again.

"It was like scary," said a terrified 8-year old named Katherine. She tells how she and other children were confronted, they say, by angry parents who barged onto their school bus.
"I was crying because I was worried and I was like I don't know what happened. I didn't do anything," she said.
The parents are Christina and Christopher Gring. They're charged with unlawfully entering a school bus, threatening children and other misdemeanors.
Kids who were on the bus say last week the Gring's son who goes to North Wales elementary school with them, got off on Elm Avenue and told his parents he was being picked on.
"He was crying when he came off the bus and nobody knows why. Then they started yelling curse words at us and yelling to tell them what happened," said Katherine.
"In conducting a follow-up internal investigation of the incident, North Penn School District found no reports of bullying of the accused couple's child. Under no circumstances does NPSD ever want a parent boarding a bus or taking matters into their own hands."
Thursday evening Montgomery County Correction Facility officials said Christina Gring was being discharged this evening. Christopher Gring was still being held on $10,000 bail. They've both been charged with unlawfully entering a school bus, threatening children and other misdemeanors. School officials stress that parents should let them know about bullying and not take matters into their own hands.

In the circulatory system, a vein is a blood vessel that carries blood back toward the heart (as opposed to artery, a blood vessel carrying blood away from the heart). The majority of veins in the body carry low-oxygen blood from the tissues back to the heart; the exceptions being the pulmonary and umbilical veins which both carry oxygenated blood.
The return of blood to the heart is assisted by the action of the skeletal-muscle pump which helps maintain the extremely low blood pressure of the venous system. Fainting can be caused by failure of the skeletal-muscular pump. Long periods of standing can result in blood pooling in the legs, with blood pressure too low to return blood to the heart. Neurogenic and hypovolaemic shock can also cause fainting. In these cases the smooth muscles surrounding the veins become slack and the veins fill with the majority of the blood in the body, keeping blood away from the brain and causing unconsciousness.
The arteries are perceived as carrying oxygenated blood to the tissues, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. This is true of the systemic circulation, by far the larger of the two circuits of blood in the body, which transports oxygen from the heart to the tissues of the body. However, in pulmonary circulation the arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and veins return blood from the lungs to the heart. The difference between veins and arteries is their direction of flow (out of the heart by arteries, returning to the heart for veins), not their oxygen content. In addition, deoxygenated blood that is carried from the tissues back to the heart for reoxygenation in systemic circulation still carries some oxygen, though it is considerably less than that carried by the systemic arteries or pulmonary veins.
In a functional analogy, the term "venous" in economics refers to recycling industries, in contrast to "arterial" or production industries.
Veins are used medically as points of access to the blood stream, permitting the withdrawal of blood specimens (venipuncture) for testing purposes, and intravenous delivery of fluid, electrolytes, nutrition, and medications through injection with a syringe, or by inserting a catheter. In contrast to arterial blood which is uniform throughout the body, the blood removed from veins for testing can vary in its contents depending on the part of the body the vein drains; blood drained from a working muscle will contain significantly less oxygen and glucose than blood drained from the liver. However the more blood from different veins mixes as it returns to the heart, the more homogeneous it becomes.
If an intravenous catheter has to be inserted, for most purposes this is done into a peripheral vein near the surface of the skin in the hand or arm, or less desirably, the leg. Some highly concentrated fluids or irritating medications must flow into the large central veins, which are sometimes used when peripheral access cannot be obtained. Catheters can be threaded into the superior vena cava for these uses: if long term use is thought to be needed, a more permanent access point can be inserted surgically.
The pulmonary veins carry relatively oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart. The superior and inferior venae cavae carry relatively deoxygenated blood from the upper and lower systemic circulations, respectively.
A portal venous system is a series of veins or venules that directly connect two capillary beds. Examples of such systems include the hepatic portal vein and hypophyseal portal system.

Health Care Reform Inspires New SLU Master's Degree
Health care reform has created a national dialogue about the effectiveness and value of medical services and products. Hospital systems, insurance companies, foundations, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies and patients need credible information about health outcomes. This new focus is having a dramatic effect on the business of medicine and research interests across the country.
|Leslie Hinyard, Ph.D., and Thomas Burroughs, Ph.D.
In response to this changing health care environment, the Saint Louis University Center for Outcomes Research (SLUCOR) is launching a new master's of science degree in outcomes research and evaluations sciences. The graduate program will prepare students to be leaders in their fields. Students will learn how to create and use of scientific evidence to improve the effectiveness and economic value of tests treatments, procedures and other health care services.
"Our program is designed to address the national need for trained health care professionals working in an era where outcomes matter more than ever. Graduates will be poised for new leadership and research opportunities across the many sectors of health care," said Leslie Hinyard, Ph.D., associate director of academic affairs of SLUCOR.
The online format is accessible to students across the country and accommodates the busy schedules of working professionals. The master's program also can be completed in conjunction with other graduate degrees including law, medicine, nursing, allied health, public health or business.
Established in 2003, SLUCOR has become nationally known for its research and educational programs in health outcomes assessment, economic analysis and policy development. Faculty members lead and collaborate on national and local research in a broad range of clinical areas. Most prominent are the areas of organ transplantation, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, health care quality and the evaluation of drugs and medical devices.
"Outcomes research is not a single field, but the place where various disciplines meet for scholarship and innovation. Clinical and business professionals will find SLUCOR's academic program links medicine, economics, public health and statistics to address questions of importance for patients and policy makers. We are excited this program is attracting students with diverse educational and professional backgrounds," said Thomas Burroughs, Ph.D., executive director of SLUCOR.
For more information on the master's of science degree in outcomes research and evaluations sciences, contact Dr. Leslie Hinyard, associate director of academic affairs, at (314) 977-9473 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

You didn't read the title wrong, get a load of this...
I don't want to get all technical and use big words that might be too hard to understand for any "progressives" reading this...but....WHAT!
I postulated in a previous post that the left has some sort of intelligence allergy, and I'm sorry to see Ezra Klein once again can't prove me wrong.
Our government, and the Democratic Party especially (by their own cavalier yet inadvertent admission during the ObamaCare debate), has grown so big it has its own gravitational pull, and it has strayed so far from the Constitution it could be its own planet.
The simple fact is the Constitution is perhaps the most plainly worded, easiest to understand governing document in the entire republic. Liberals like Klein
want NEED it to be "confusing" so they can justify breaking the rules while telling you they're not. All they care about is power, and the Constitution's limits on power couldn't be clearer if it was the inside of Biden's head. For them it's not a document our government needs to live by, it's an impediment.
Klein might as well have said:
This is too confusing, here's a coloring book, leave the big kid stuff to us.
If it really is a mystery why the GOP thinks the Constitution needs to be read to people who vote 2000 page nation altering bills (that are apparently NOT difficult to understand) why don't we let the queen of the liberal hive (who, incidentally, was also created over 100 years ago) spell it out for him.
So, Ezra, this is not a gimmick, you idiot.

Selfish Sanitation Department bosses from the snow-slammed outer boroughs ordered their drivers to snarl the blizzard cleanup to protest budget cuts -- a disastrous move that turned streets into a minefield for emergency-services vehicles, The Post has learned.
Miles of roads stretching from as north as Whitestone, Queens, to the south shore of Staten Island still remained treacherously unplowed last night because of the shameless job action, several sources and a city lawmaker said, which was over a raft of demotions, attrition and budget cuts.
"They sent a message to the rest of the city that these particular labor issues are more important," said City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Queens), who was visited yesterday by a group of guilt-ridden sanitation workers who confessed the shameless plot.

If this makes you shrug your shoulders then you must've missed the fact that people have died as a result of this...
A blizzard baby delivered inside the lobby of a snowbound Brooklyn building died after an emergency call of a woman in labor brought no help for nine excruciating hours.
Story here
Liberals love to scoff at the idea that we should privatize any service. This is exhibit A-Z on why we should consider it.
If these accusations are true then blood is on the hands of these workers? How are union thugs holding up taxpayers in a city that is steeped in debt better than having some greedy "evil" corporation handle it?
These bastards are going to have their jobs tomorrow. If corporate America was in charge of this they would've been unemployed a**holesicles by now.
Meanwhile, Mayor Bloomberg shrugs his shoulders, and I don't know if its because he doesn't know what to do, or that's his response to an aide asking him how he'll pin this one on the Tea Party.
Any chance of this guy running for president just got put on ice (oh yes...PUN INTENDED). If he can't get sanitation workers to prevent the deaths of innocent people by simply getting snow plowed, then you can imagine what will happen when a country like North Korea finally goes off the deep end.
I know he's all about having No Labels lately, so I'm not going to say he's a failure....

I think there is a chance that there is actually something to this.
A study at University College London in the UK has found that conservatives' brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other "primitive" emotions. At the same time, conservatives' brains were also found to have a smaller anterior cingulate -- the part of the brain responsible for courage and optimism.
If the study is confirmed, it could give us the first medical explanation for why conservatives tend to be more receptive to threats of terrorism, for example, than liberals. And it may help to explain why conservatives like to plan based on the worst-case scenario, while liberals tend towards rosier outlooks.
Get the rest at Raw Story (via Memeorandum)
I don't know anything about the science, I'm not a medical expert like the members of congress who drafted ObamaCare. The conclusions seem pretty feasible though when you consider "liberals tend towards rosier outlooks" is really just a polite way to say they're flexible enough to bury their heads in their asses.
It's how we get government healthcare when the government is running deficits that make the Grand Canyon look like a crack on the sidewalk.
It's why they think raising taxes on an economy that's so dead it makes the Clinton's marriage look alive is a good idea.
Liberals only see the downside to letting psychos have nukes if they vote Republican.
They think they can keep the climate of the ENTIRE world from going too high, and they can't even get plows going to remove the snow that, according to them, isn't even supposed to freakin' be there.
All of those things take A LOT of optimism. So I'll give these "experts" that much.
The only thing that I'm hung up on is that liberals have more courage. I don't know many liberal soldiers. They vote overwhelmingly conservative. I may be mistaken, but didn't the military establish the brig because soldiers protested that punishment by coersion to vote Democrat violated the 8th amendment?
In fact, liberals are always the ones that want to run from a fight. This alone puts the researchers findings on its head. How can conservatives be scaredy cats AND warmongers?
Then again, I guess it takes a lot of courage to tell people how to live and reduce their "carbon footprint" before diving into a pool at one of your mansions that suck up more energy in a month than the rest of us use in 2 years without heating it first.
To be fair to Al Gore, I'd wager he doesn't think his footprint is made of carbon so much as it's actually more like "optimistic hypocrisy."Add a comment
I did this post almost a year ago, I figured that since the world is freezing once again I would bring it back..
Each "snowflake" represents a headline in the news about how the country is getting colder than date night with the Clintons. Give them a rollover with your mouse and watch Al Gore try to eat his words. (use Firefox or Internet Explorer)
The headlines and links are from last year, I don't know if many (or any) still work. I could update them, but it's all just going to sound the same anyway...

A year ago Al Gore warned the world that the carbon footprint from his mansions would help vanish snow all over the world.
This year Berlin is seeing the most snow in over a century.
I don't even need to tell you about New York City...

Justin Riney was searching for a unique way to raise awareness of the natural beauty found in Florida's waterways.
He found it in a man who ventured to Florida some 500 years ago.
Riney was in Port St. Joe for a few days this week as part of his yearlong quest to paddleboard the state's waters, spending the first six months navigating the entire perimeter of the state's coastline before embarking on six months of exploration of the state's major interior waterways.
Riney's travels, called Expedition Florida 500, coincide with the 500th anniversary of Ponce de Leon's arrival somewhere on Florida's beaches.
"We are focused on the conservation aspect and anything we can do to raise that profile," Riney said. "The whole goal of the project is conservation based.
"We want to drive home the point how beautiful we have it in Florida and how precious the natural environment in Florida is."
Riney embarked on his journey from Pensacola on New Year's Day. This past Monday, as he arrived in Port St. Joe for three days, he was on Day 21 of a journey he expects to span 365 days.
"I should be finished with the coastline and be in Jacksonville on July 4 and then I will move inland," Riney said.
And while it is true that Riney alone will cover the entire breadth and width of Florida's waterways, he is not alone and that is part of the allure of the project.
Along the way, Riney and fellow paddlers put on events, particularly at schools, trying to "plant the seeds as early as we can," Riney said.
There are cleanups, such as the one at Frank Pate Park in Port St. Joe on Monday. The goal, engage the public along the way, create in them the passion that Riney feels about his native state and its waters.
"Literally, hundreds of people have joined me along the way," Riney said. "We've had a lot of events, a lot of interaction along the way.
"Everywhere we go we do cleanups. One of the unique aspects is we do engage the community to come out."
Riney's project sprouted from his roots.
A native of Vero Beach, Riney said he grew up an outdoorsman, loving time on the water and in nature. He was also raised by entrepreneurial parents and that diverse background helped create his own non-profit as well as Expedition Florida 500.
His passion for the water fed his scientific search and after studying business at the University of Florida he "cut his teeth" in business before returning to his passion for the water.
Riney said he was in a unique situation – scientists have difficulty with the business end of marine life; those on the business end, creating products from the marine world for example, could not speak expertly to the science.
"I'm wearing both hats," Riney said. "I know the science side and I know the business side. I was something of an intermediary."
After spending some time in the Bahamas, his love of the water once again became his mistress.
He moved back to Vero Beach, sold his belonging and, as he put it, "jumped off the cliff" and established his non-profit Mother Ocean.
"The mission of the non-profit is to create, inspire and empower ocean advocates worldwide," Riney said. "I hope, with the year's worth of paddling, we can raise a mass amount of awareness so people can learn to respect and appreciate these waterways. We want to make sure these waterways are here 500 years from now."
Riney, though, notes he is one among many. A greater goal is to use the latest technology and social media to create a network of ocean advocates around the globe, both engaging a younger generation and broadening awareness.
In bringing awareness to his non-profit and its goal, Expedition Florida 500 was a perfect fit. Riney's project is a signature project for the celebration sponsored by the Florida Department of State and Riney's project also receives logistical support from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
"What an amazing platform this is to raise awareness about the waters of Florida and to raise awareness of my (non-profit)," Riney said.
Panama CityBeachresident Gabriel Gray, owner of Walkin' on Water Paddle Boards, joined Riney's conservation movement last year, accompanying him on a number of conservation paddles throughout the state to prepare for the upcoming expedition.
Riney completed six conservation paddles to train and raise awareness for the cause, through the St. Johns River, Apalachicola River, Kissimmee River, Indian River Lagoon, Everglades and Florida Keys.
They learned the environment and worked out the kinks for the project ahead.
"The two unique elements of the project are one this is happening in real time," Riney said. "It is tangible, people can connect to it.
"The second, we really want people to come out and paddle with us. We welcome paddlers of all shapes and sizes. They can see our passion, feel the passion and take that passion home with them.
"My goal is to engage as many people as possible."

I'm pretty sure it does.

So I set up my new Crucial M4 last night, installed Windows 8.1 on it, configured everything, and when i get to the first "real" bootup (IE no more "setting things up for you..." bootup stages)...
Well... first a bit of background: on my computer, right after you turn it on, the CPU fan spins to 100% for the first 2 or 3 seconds, and then once the BIOS loads, it slows down to a more reasonable speed. Also, I have SpeedFan installed and set to run automatically on startup, and when SpeedFan starts up, it too sets the CPU fan to 100% at first, before letting it slow down.
So when I turned on my PC, I saw the Windows splash screen, so I went to do something else. 10 seconds later, I hear the CPU fan spin to 100%, and I think "oh no, there's something wrong with my SSD, and my PC just rebooted in mid-boot".
But it was SpeedFan. I never actually thought it would boot that fast. Hell, I only have a SATA II motherboard, so this drive isn't even running at its full potential.
Also, I'm sure you've seen videos like this a thousand times before, but I just find it so cool that I can do this:
The first time i rebooted after having installed my sdd it booted so fast it did not display the blue windows logo. I though "this can't be real, it must be the win 8 hybrid boot", So i unplugged the power chord and i retried, and got the same result

Do you have a source for that? As far as I'm aware disabling the hibernate file does indeed disable the faster hybrid boot: http://blogs.msdn.co...-windows-8.aspx:
Yes, myself. I have disabled it with no start slow down. Prior to disabling hibernation the start up time was approximately 12 seconds, and after disabling it was still 12 seconds.

I think that's because with an SSD, we really can't notice the difference hibernating the kernel makes. I too see no difference between fast boot enabled and disabled. Actually, since all you need to do to disable fast boot is to reboot instead of shut down, that would be an easier way of comparing than disabling.
Also, does anyone know the event viewer code to check and see if fast boot is working?

Microsoft has confirmed to IGN that Xbox One will not come bundled with a headset, as per Xbox 360 tradition. Instead, Microsoft points to Kinect's "highly sensitive multi-array microphones designed to enable voice inputs and chat as a system-level capability, both in-game and with Skype and other experiences."
If you want a standard Microsoft Xbox One headset (which Microsoft calls "a must-have," ironically), you'll have to purchase it separately. Additionally, Turtle Beach headsets and Polk headphones will be available following the console's launch. For context, Sony doesn't default to packing a headset with PlayStation hardware, but the PlayStation 4 is bundling a mono earpiece and mic.
I'm starting to think now that Our Expensive headsets won't work with the Next Gen Consoles.
