Mushkin Chronos DX 480GB SSD Review - Benchmarks - PCMark Vantage Hard Disk TestsMushkin has quietly held a price lead throughout 2012 on the 480 / 512GB capacity size. The Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 480GB isn't always the absolute lowest priced SSD in this size, but it's the lowest priced SSD with synchronous / toggle mode flash.
PCMark Vantage - Hard Disk Tests
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.0.0
Developer Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com
Product Homepage: http://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/pcmark-vantage/
PCMark Vantage is the first objective hardware performance benchmark for PCs running 32 and 64 bit versions of Microsoft Windows Vista. PCMark Vantage is perfectly suited for benchmarking any type of Microsoft Windows Vista PC from multimedia home entertainment systems and laptops to dedicated workstations and high-end gaming rigs. Regardless of whether the benchmarker is an artist or an IT Professional, PCMark Vantage shows the user where their system soars or falls flat, and how to get the most performance possible out of their hardware. PCMark Vantage is easy enough for even the most casual enthusiast to use yet supports in-depth, professional industry grade testing.
FutureMark has developed a good set of hard disk tests for their PCMark Vantage Suite. Windows users can count on Vantage to show them how a drive will perform in normal day to day usage scenarios. For most users these are the tests that matter since many of the old hat ways to measure performance have become ineffective to measure true Windows performance.
HDD1 - Windows Defender
HDD2 - Gaming
HDD3 - Windows Photo Gallery
HDD4 - Vista Startup
HDD5 - Windows Movie Maker
HDD6 - Windows Media Center
HDD7 - Windows Media Player
HDD8 - Application Loading
So far we've singled out individual performance aspects of the Mushkin Chronos DX 480GB, but real-world performance is a mixture of everything. This is where the LSI SandForce controller really shines, in daily use, real-world environments. With the drive empty, we see the Deluxe as a well rounded drive that is faster than some of the newer products on the market in some tests and even keeps pace with the other drives in the others.

lautrec i know him i know wat happend cuz i was peeking in deh backround under the stairs
I forgive you Lautrec for making my safe point go away. Patches you dick. :u
ahhh i fell bad for killing him now
awsome flash, it actually made me think of that entire situation in a completely differant light.
also, the flow of time in Lordran is very... wierd... suffice to say, its actually completely possible for her to have an ipod in this time period. im not quite sure how it would charge though...
is it odd that distored time flow is the only time travel form that i don't feel the compulsion to logically examine........HOORAH
now we know why she can't speek cause she's fricking lisining to fucking music all day.
Yep it explains everything, except how an Ipod ended up in a medieval time period. :)

xD hah
haha, good man good =P u provably put the "thanks for frontpage" before it was on frontpage, u cocky sam xD
Nooo.. i just added that today! I'm very grateful that Newgrounds would feature it though, but I never expect it.
how is this flash getting getting less than 4.50? and only 49 reviews (not including mine) when i typed this? wtf? this is Comedy Platinum, not gold, Platinum.
Easily the funniest Dubya-Doo ep so far.
Topic. I really don't have much to say other than keep up the good work. I need more satire in my life like this.
Very fun.
I support McCain and I fine this hilarious. I'm glad you've minimized the childish cliche political jokes and managed to spew out a very funny flash.
But hey, it's easier to make fun of someone who's been in politics much longer than Obama.
I can't help but to love George Bush. Great job!
it's an honor to be the 113th person to see this
yup, love the series, good job keeping the flashes consitant in quality. love the references and drawings. hope this makes it to the front page :)

Okay, so I read this the first time like two years ago, and I'm pretty sure I reviewed then aswell...
So, knowing I'm prolly repeating myself from an earlier review
A Chance Meeting
is far and away the best thing you've ever written. Even though you prolly spent more time on, and worked harder to finish, a bunch of your other stories; this is the most entertaining thing you've published. EVER.
The characters are interesting, some of your writing's general blindspots are mitigated, I liked the art gallery scene with the artist's crappy painting, and most of all, the thing is ORIGINAL. Unlike most other fanfiction on the internet.
Great job. Even if you write no more, it's good to know you published this much

text: economic development $750,000 In Grants: Help For Micro Businesses By Chris Jensen • May 14, 2015 Chris Jensen for NHPR Grants totaling about $750,000 to help small businesses in most of the state have been approved by the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority. The money will go to seven economic development organizations. It will be used to help micro-businesses get the technical assistance they need to either start or grow. Typically a micro business has no more than five employees. The businesses must have low or moderate-income owners. Garnet Hill's Dilemma: Could Moving Jobs From North Country Lead To More N.H. Jobs Overall? By Chris Jensen • Feb 20, 2015 Garnet Hill, the nationally known clothing and bedding retailer in Franconia, is moving about one fifth of its 200 jobs to Exeter. That distresses some in the North Country, but Garnet Hill's president said it is part of a long-term strategy to increase business. "We are a business that is very different from what we were five, six, seven years ago in the sense that over half of our business is done in women's fashion apparel and 84 percent of our business is done online," said Claire Spofford, who took over as president about a year ago. Littleton Receives Main Street Revitalization Grant By Associated Press • Sep 22, 2014 The New Hampshire town of Littleton is getting $250,000 to support a revitalization project on Main Street. Littleton is planning to construct a multi-use bridge over the Ammonoosuc River pedestrians, bicycles and off-road vehicles. The grant is from the Northern Border Regional Commission, which helps economic development in the North Country. Gov. Maggie Hassan is touring the project after addressing the Littleton Economic Development Summit on Monday. Amid Criticism, Hassan Defends Overseas Trade Mission By Brian Wallstin • Jun 3, 2014 Gov. Maggie Hassan's office said canceling a planned trade mission to Turkey would cost taxpayers $10,000 and the private businesses that will accompany the governor would lose thousands more. In a written response to a public-records request by the conservative nonprofit Citizens for a Strong New Hampshire, Hassan's chief of staff Pamela Walsh said "non-refundable travel arrangements" had already been paid for when the governor announced a freeze on hiring and out-of-state travel. Expanding Balsams Ski Resort: Money, Jobs And A Regulatory Challenge By Chris Jensen • May 15, 2014 If Maine entrepreneur Les Otten can expand the ski area of the closed Balsams resort he says it would create about 1,000 full or part-time jobs. That's something the region desperately needs. But it isn't clear whether Otten has the money or can work through a regulatory tangle including safety issues. The issue is being raised after Otten said he would like to work with Dan Hebert and Dan Dagesse, the owners of the closed resort. One issue is a safety concern. Can the huge blades on the 410-foot tall turbines throw chunks of ice far enough to endanger skiers? Canadian Firm Plans To Double Size Of Colebrook Plant By Chris Jensen • Apr 21, 2014 Codet Incorporated, a Canadian firm, is expanding its Colebrook plant including hiring 25 new employees. "They plan to almost double the size of their operation," said Michael Bergeron, an official with the state's Department of Resources and Economic Development. Currently the firm has 28 employees. Codet also plans to roughly double the size of its building, which is almost 12,000 square feet. The amount of the investment wasn't available. The expansion is expected to be complete by the end of the year. Railway Grant Seen As Getting Coos Development Moving By Chris Jensen • Jul 18, 2013 North Country economic development officials are crossing their fingers and waiting to hear later this summer whether the federal government will provide money to upgrade a section of rail line through Coos County. NHPR's Chris Jensen reports. For years one of the problems with economic development in the North Country has been getting stuff in and getting stuff out. Concord Approves Downtown Overhaul By Amanda Loder • Jun 7, 2013 The Concord City Council has approved a dramatic Main Street overhaul. Under the plan, Main Street will be converted from four lanes to a modified three-lane set-up. New lighting, wider sidewalks, more benches, and bike racks are also part of the plan. A big concern for merchants is the loss of downtown parking. Developer and advisory committee member Steve Duprey says in the end, the city is only losing five parking spaces. And the benefits outweigh the risks. Video Game Industry Could Keep N.H. Young and Tech-Savvy By Ryan Lessard • Feb 27, 2013 Courtesy of Neal Laurenza New Hampshire is producing young programmers and designers looking to start their own video game business. And the trick is getting them to stay in the state… Listen Listening... / 4:09 Commissioner George Bald By Laura Knoy • Sep 4, 2012 We sit down with George Bald, outgoing Commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development. Bald announced he'll retire in November after serving nearly thirteen years as chief advocate for the state's economy, promoting business development and overseeing travel and tourism, including the state park system. We'll talk with him about his tenure.

Product description
The election of 2008 shattered political barriers, illuminated undercurrents of race, gender, and class, and ignited an extraordinary battle among some of the most formidable rivals ever to seek the presidency in Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain. It was an election that played out against a backdrop of war, economic collapse, and deep pessimism about the future. Dan Balz and Haynes Johnson followed this campaign from the candidates? first forays into Iowa and New Hampshire to the historic night of Obama's victory celebration. They offer behind-the-scenes details of turning points like the stunning endorsement of Obama by Senator Edward M. Kennedy. They probe the strategic mistakes of the Clinton campaign and the story behind Obama's breakthrough organization. They cast in new light McCain's struggle for survival in the Republican primaries, his selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, and the economic meltdown that ensured Obama's victory. Exclusive interviews with the candidates and their top strategists produce intimate portraits of Obama, Clinton, and McCain under stress throughout the longest and most expensive presidential campaign in American history. Balz and Johnson also move far off the campaign trail to listen to voters in battleground states express their deep anxieties about the darkening economic climate and the challenges facing the United States. This audiobook is a riveting account of how this election not only marked a new era in American politics but also offered a test of historic proportions at a watershed moment for our nation.

46 year old woman | Willards, MD, USA | Seeking men 35-47 within 50 miles
Just me
First, let me start by saying, I've never done this before and I'm not quite sure what to say but here it goes. I'm a loyal, honest, caring, affectionate woman. I try to be non-judgemental and treat others in the manner I would want to be treated. I can be silly and sometimes even have "blond" moments. I can be opinionated and stubborn or compassionate and understanding when it concerns something I care deeply about. I tend to be a little shy at first but warm up quickly. I've been looking for someone to share my life with but haven't had much luck. I would like to find someone who is loyal, honest, caring, and affectionate...but not smothering.... someone I can have fun with or just enjoy being with doing nothing. I would like to meet someone who can compliment my personality and vice versa. I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a Associates Degree in Business Management but currently working in the health care field. I enjoy hanging out with friends and bbq'ing at home. I can't tell you anywhere interesting I have been or done because I have not had a chance to travel or pursue many of my interests; I've spent the last 23 years of my life as a single mom and devoted to my children. My life has been centered around them; they are the most important aspect of my life. My kids are now grown and less dependent on me. My youngest daughter and her finance have given me a beautiful grand daughter, Layla. However, as much as I would love to have my children and grand daughter with me all the time, I know they have lives of their own and now I'm..I guess...kinda lost with so much time on my hands. I thought maybe...just maybe...I might find someone here...online....who may have the some interests and values as I do....
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering

I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs
I like Horses
Some other viewpoint
I like small bars/pubs that have great food rather than niteclubs. My favorite kind of food is Italian. I would like to travel to Italy someday (my great-grandparents were from Sicily). I love going to amusement parks and riding thrill rides.
University of Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ
My favorite things include Italian food, lounging in my PJ's all day when it's raining and watching DVDs, reading suspense novels, That 70's Show, CSI, 80's Hairbands, classic rock, country music and last but certainly NOT least I love my dogs.
I enjoy spending time with my children, hanging out with friends, movies, reading a good book, relaxing on the beach, riding around in a thunderstorm, and believe it or not I love to mow the lawn!

40 year old man | Santa Barbara, CA, USA | Seeking women 28-43 within 50 miles
A well-traveled, intellectually-curious individual looking for a like-minded woman.
Hello there, First off, about me: I have traveled pretty extensively for both work and pleasure. I currently have a position which requires/allows me to travel overseas about once a month, which is very exciting but can also be quite tiring at times. Luckily, I have some freedom to tack on some personal days periodically so that I can enjoy what each location has to offer. I also just bought my first house, so it is nice to come home and work on fixing it up (it needs a lot of work :/ ). Outside of work, I enjoy riding my bicycles and hiking in the local hills and in the bigger mountains when I can get away. I love to go backpacking, but have had trouble making time for it much in the last couple of years. I'm also quite enjoy stretching my brain through reading and lectures, with the my favorite topics recently being brain science and politics. I'm afraid I am not the most accomplished cook, but am GREAT at washing the dishes. ;) Now what I'm looking for: I really don't have a specific 'type' that I'm attracted to, but would say that a common thread umongst past girlfriends has been that they've been into the outdoors, enjoyed traveling, and have often been slightly quirky. Basically, I'm mostly looking for someone who enjoys many of the same activities that I do, while also being able to enjoy each other's company during a quiet evening at home with a bottle of wine. If this sounds like you, and I sound like someone you'd enjoy getting to know better, feel free to reach out first. I have no problem with an upfront woman. I'm quite progressive that way. ;)

The story makes me wonder how Hasbro has stayed in business since 1923. Villains don't sell?
Yeah, that Darth Vader figure was a mistake. Then again, Hasbro did wind up buying Kenner...
This list will only include individually carded Cobra. I won't be including any Cobra that came only with a vehicle or playset.
The pictures of the figures, carded and loose, were borrowed from WWW.YOJOE.COM. It's a great website to check out if you are a fan of the A Real American Hero 3.75" line.
Debut: '82 Original
The biggest differences are: the Officer has a silver Cobra logo on his chest, has molded binoculars, and comes with an AK-47 rifle
The Soldier has the common red Cobra logo on his chest, has knee pads, and comes with a Dragunov sniper rifle. While writing I have come to the conclusion that the Soldier is my favorite. That classic red logo wins me over.
I decided to show the carded Officer, but you can see both figures down below.
It was always tough to buy Cobra soldiers. Whenever I had any spare cash to buy GI Joe figures I wanted to buy figures I didn't already own. This is natural. However, without an enemy for GI Joe to fight, they would grow bored and terrorize my Star Wars and Lego figures. I won't even get into what they might have done to my tender Care Bears. So, the inclination to buy multiple enemy, be they Cobra or Storm Troopers, is a strong desire. I think I owned 2 Officers and 5 Soldiers back in the day. Well, honestly, I still own them. I just don't know where they are at the moment.
Enemy Weapon Supplier
Debut: 1983 (Series 2)
With this sculpt Hasbro managed to combine imagery from antiquity and modernity. The mask harkens to the novel The Man in the Iron Mask, but this version has friggin' rockets on his gauntlets. New world charm!
The design of the mask is nice. In Destro's back story the mask is forged from beryllium steel. The head mold for the figure is a silver, vacuum-metalized head with a sheen that closely resembles chrome.
As the Enemy Weapons Dealer, Destro should come with some impressive accessories. His backpack is cool, it opens to reveal molded rockets, grenades, and other weapons. His pistol, while a laser pistol, well... it's not really all that impressive. I always had Destro make good use of those rockets on his wrists though. If you were a good guy in my universe you had to watch out for Destro wanting to do a fist bump.
Cobra Intelligence Officer
Debut: 1984 (Series 3)
Debut: 1984 (Series 3)
Larry Hama, the writer of the GI Joe comic book, stated that he created the Baroness because all of the other Cobra operatives had masks and he wanted someone that showed their face. Thus the nerdy, yet seductive, Baroness was born. She has been a regular cosplay conventions ever since.
The figure doesn't quite live up to the promise of the picture on the card, but it's not a terrible build. In fact, it was an original mold, so I'm surprised that Hasbro did that good of a job.
The biggest issue I have with this figure is the bulk. The Baroness figure is very manish. The mold has some impressive shoulders.They might be larger than Destro's. Nothing wrong with this, of course, I'm just not sure that's the look they wanted. It's definitely what they got.
Even with that issue of her bulk, the sculpt is really amazing. The way her bodice and leggings show off the scaling of the armor is impressive. I also really like the small cobra logo embossed on her gloves. The picture on the right shows her right hand with the cobra logo. It would have been cooler if the logo had been red, but I give them points for just including it in her build. The Baroness also get points for her awesome backpack.
Cobra Saboteur
Debut: 1984 (Series 3)
Debut: 1984 (Series 3)
Firefly was cool because he immediately reminded me of a German commando. A World War II German commando. Maybe it was his sub-machine gun. It kinda looks like the Maschinenpistole 38. It's more likely that the grey that was reminiscent of the Waffen SS uniform.
Either way, Firefly was a must purchase. At first I wasn't sure if he was supposed to be an individual named Firefly or if he was a type of specialty Cobra agent called Firefly. In the end I realized that he was a unique butterfly. He was a grey camo'd Cobra who looked like a ninja who blew stuff up. He was perfect and a much needed boost to my small Cobra force.
On his Command File it states that Firefly's primary specialties are: Sabotage, Demolitions, and Terror. Anyone that has a specialty in terror has got to be a badass.

Travie McCoy is best known as being the charismatic frontman for Gym Class Heroes, a hip-hop hybrid band that scored hits with "Cupid's Chokehold/Breakfast in America" and "Clothes Off!" But the singer has branched out with "Lazarus" - his solo album featuring Cee-Lo, T-Pain, Bruno Mars and Travis Barker, among others - which hit the streets Tuesday, June 8.
McCoy, who performs Tuesday, June 8 at the Pompano Beach Amphitheatre alongside 3OH!3 and Cobra Starship, talked to Miami.com about his new album, moving to Aventura last year and his past relationship with "I Kissed a Girl" pop princess Katy Perry.
What were you going for with your solo album?
Basically just a feel-good, summer-sound record, you know what I mean? I tried not to get too introspective and deep and personal on this record, to try to keep it fun. I think it's definitely gonna be a record that's synonymous with the summer of 2010. There was a conscious effort to make a lot of uptempo, breezy, feel-good songs.
You chose a bunch of different producers for this album. What do you look for in a producer for a certain song?
Definitely not names - I mean, a lot of people go for who's hot right now, and who's making the smashes. A lot of the producers I worked with are up-and-coming. I prefer creative people, and a lot of the producers I worked with are friends of mine, and I wanted to show the world that there are a lot of people out there aside from Pharrell and Kanye and Timbaland. I mean, I love their stuff, but I wanted to give young producers a chance as well.
So are Gym Class Heroes still on?
Of course, of course. There's a big misperception when people found out I'm doing this record. I like to look at it more as a side project put out on a bigger scale as opposed to me going solo. A lot of people, they hear the word "solo" and they go, "Oh no." But we're actually 12 demos deep into the new Gym Class record, so Gym Class Heroes is alive and strong.
I understand you live in Miami now. When did you move here?
Yeah, man. Last September. I actually wrote half of the last Gym Class record in Miami. There's just a vibe - I just get really, really inspired down there, and I was making all these trips there to work, and I was like it'd be a lot easier for me just to move there. I've been there since September in Aventura, and I love it.
What are some of your favorite hangouts?
Honestly, the Hit Factory [recording studio]. I'm kind of a reclusive dude, you know? I go out every now and then, to the Fontainebleau a couple times, but I have a studio at my place and the Hit Factory is like a 10-minute drive from my place.
Where do you think your eclectic musical taste came from?
A lot of that has to do with my dad is a musician, and I grew up hearing all different types of music. My dad's a bass player, so I heard Philly soul music, like Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, Hall & Oates - from that to Phil Collins to Guns 'N Roses to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Curtis Mayfield. So it was really an eclectic upbringing musically. And my mom would listen to everything from Poison to Sade. So I was really lucky.
Are you and Katy still on good terms?
I haven't talked to her in a very long time, but I have no bad blood and I wish her the best, you know? In my eyes, that was a long time ago, about a year or year and a half since we split, so I've moved on and she's moved on, and there's definitely no bad blood.

She's been called a "reluctant star" by the media for her penchant for appearing to take time off between break out roles, but the tag isn't one the "State of Play" actress is fond of.
"That's sort of annoying, isn't it?" Rachel told AccessHollywood'com's "Dish of Salt" Laura Saltman over the weekend. "I try to pace myself… I try to take it easy."
Rachel, whose filmography includes "Mean Girls," "The Wedding Crashers" and seminal chick flick, 2004's "The Notebook," which spawned a former romance with co-star Ryan Gosling, said she doesn't try to put her career on hold after a big film. She just likes taking a breather every now and then.
"You just need a break sometimes afterwards. And then timing is such sometimes that, you know, everything comes out at once and then there's nothing," Rachel noted. "And there you are and people wonder where you've been."
Recently, the actress was in New Zealand on a break, following the completion of Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes."
Now, however, Rachel is back promoting "State of Play," a thriller that sees the actress playing Della Frye, one of several journalists working alongside a police detective to look into the mysterious death of a congressman's (Ben Affleck) mistress.
"It was… really interesting to be on the other side of things," Rachel said of playing a reporter in the film. "I discovered a lot… speaking to a lot of these reporters and journalists that work on the Hill in particular. Their lives are really complicated and… quite a spider web of politics and working with the police and having sources and not revealing their sources… And not having a social life, or a family life. It's quite involved."
The subject matter of "State of Play" was quite different from "Sherlock Holmes," which Rachel said was a little gritty.
"Cold and dirty," she laughed. "The 1800's are kinda dirty, I realized. I didn't think about that before… Lots of dirt."
While the set was full of soot, Rachel loved the period costumes of the upcoming movie, which also stars Robert Downey Jr.
"Beautiful! Tight, but beautiful… Like satin dresses with the big bustle off the back and corsets – hard to breath," she said.
And as for working with Robert, Rachel said it was a dream.
"He's amazing," she noted. "He's just beautiful to watch and he's just got such a keen mind and he's so playful… Every moment he's so present."
