Hello all. Firstly, great extension.
I've managed to remove the 'User Panel' from the bottom of the 'range' view by editing the listevents.php file and removing the call for the panel. I tried to do this the correct way by using an override but it doesn't seem to work (I'm not so worried about this).
However, I would like to remove the 'User Panel' from the bottom of the event detail page (mainly to make it look cleaner) but I cannot seem to find a php file to remove this call.
Hope you can help. Many thanks, Oz.

Once upon a time there was a village near a great mountain. Beyond the village there was a spring where the people came each day to gather water for their houses. They came in the mornings after eating their breakfasts. Sometimes the women came with their children. At other times, the children came alone, as the women had many chores to do around their houses, such as taking care of the babies, feeding the animals, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, and preparing the lunches and dinners for their men.
Each day, the men went into the fields to work the earth. Often the women would join them in the fields after they had taken care of the many chores. The earth gave many good things to them all. They had to think about their futures. In the winter, they thought about the spring. In the summer they thought about the winter. In the winter the soil had to be kept warm, and so they covered the earth with a blanket of leaves and straw, making a mulch for the spring. In the spring, they had to turn the ground under.
In the village, there were not many oxen, so the men and the women all had to work together. Each day the men would go to a different field within the village to work. In this way, all of the villages fields were made ready for planting. At harvest time, a schedule was made by the village elders to ensure that each field had enough workers to bring in the good things the earth gave to them. It was in this way that the people of this village lived for as long as they could remember.
The spring where they gathered their water throughout the year came from a crack in one of the rocks near the bottom of the big mountain. As long as the people could remember, the water had flowed from that place. The mountain did not have a name. The people just called it the mountain without a name. It was the nameless one.
One morning in the early spring, the villagers were busy doing their chores, when the children came running into the village shouting and screaming, "The water is gone. The water is gone." Alarmed, the villagers, mostly the women as the men were in the fields, gathered around the young children, suspicious and yet concerned. Yes, the clay jars that they normally carried the water in were empty. One woman accused the children of being lazy, saying to the children, "You did not want to carry the water today." Another woman said, "It must be the God's who are angry at our village". Another woman said, "It is a harmful spirit which has caused our children to become lost and confused".
After much arguing, it was decided that they should all go to the nameless one and see for themselves. So, once again with the children leading the way down a well worn path, they began the short journey to the foot of the mountain which had no name to the place where the water had come to them from the crack in the rock.
The women, some of whom carried babies, tied to their backs walked in silence. When all of the women and all of the children reached the spot where they had always received their water, they were shocked and saddened to see the water was nowhere to be found. They touched the spot where the water had been and it was moist and cool, but scarecly a single drop came forth.
Some of the women began to cry, but the children hugged them and told them, "Don't be sad." Everyone walked back to the village with heavy hearts. Arriving at the village past lunch time, the men were curiously waiting, for there had been no lunch prepared for hem.
Some of the men began to shout at the women for neglecting their duties, but an old woman spoke up very loudly, saying to the men, "You should not jump to such conclusions until you have heard the reason why you have had no lunch today". The men calmed down and listened as the women began to tell the story. The children who were very excited would add to the story from their own experience. The men decided that they should all have a big dinner together that night and the village should have a meeting of the whole community afterwards. The women set about the task of preparing a big meal for eveyone. Each neighbor agreed to give something from their storehouse as a contribution to the dinner.
There were many mouths to feed and it was early spring so the community of the village put the food out on big cloths which were spread upon the ground. Like this, everybody ate together, mostly thinking about their problem of the wate running dry. When all of the people felt full and had eaten plenty, one elderly man, an elder of the village, stood up to speak. The old woman who had spoken earlier in the day was his wife. She too stood up to hear his words.
He said, "A long time ago when I was young, my grandmother and my grandfather told me that a day would come when the water would no longer come to us in our village". He said his grandparents had told him that the mountain had given it's secrets to them when they were young. He said, "Now is the time to gather our most beautiful daughters and our strongest young men and go together to the mountain with no name. We must find a name for our mountain, and it will once again give to us the water that we want and need." Many eyebrows were raised at such remarks.
The old woman then spoke saying, "Yes, it is true. Though I was very young, I remember the exact day in the Spring when this story was told. It was soon after hat we asked the elders to grant their blessings for our wedding". "Yes", the man spoke again. "It must be that as the young men go into the mountain to search for it's name, our beautiful daughters must remain at the spot had flowed and sing the most beautiful songs to the mountain. As they sing our young men will become stronger and their vision will become like eagles, and their ears will hear every sound in the forest. And so it was agreed by all of the people of the village that they must try to find out if this plan would work. They would all meet together at the spot where the water had flowed at the time of the sun's rising the following morning.
That night the old man and the old woman dreamed of a flower. Neither told the other, but in the morning, got dressed and prepared a sack of good things for the day ahead. Now when all of the people arrived at the place where the water had flowed, the beautiful daughters began to sing. As they sang, the sun began to rise and could be seen coming up from the other side of the fields far away. As the sun rose a majestic orange filled the morning air.
The young men decided that now was the time to embark upon the journey into the mountain. They agreed to stay together so that no one would be lost. Even as they climbed further into the mountain they could still hear the beautiful singing of the lovely daughters. The daughters wanted the sons to hear them and so as time passed, they sang even louder and with heartfelt thankfulness for the courageous young men who were searching in the mountain for a name. Though they did not know what they were looking for, they had been told to look for something that would be unusual that would be a sign for them.
Soon they could no longer hear the singing. By the early afternoon, some of the young men were complaining of feeling tired. "We should go back", one man said. "It's of no use", said another. "We do not know of what we are seeking", replied a third. "No"!, shouted a young and strong boy no more than twelve. "The grandfather and grandmother have told us to go on". "We cannot give up now", he added. Just then, a loud sound came from beyond some trees in a direction they had not been. They decided it was a sign and they should go that way. Soon they came upon a small but well worn trail, where animals had travelled before them. They walked along the trail for quite some time in silence when suddenly there was a clearing in the trees and the sunlight was illuminating a very green and beautiful valley. Everywhere they looked, their eyes were filled with color. The smell of the flowers that filled this wonderful meadow within the valley was sweet and reminded them of the daughters who must still be singing in the place whee the water had flowed.
There were flowers of almost every color, red, yellow, lavendar, blue, pink, violet, orange, and scarlet, and white. They began to cross the large open meadow and as they walked further on, the ground became soft beneath their bare feet. The coolness of the earth and the dampness of the grass made their feet feel good. Suddenly and all at once, they saw it, the sign the grandfather and grandmother had told them to look for. They shouted with joy!
There in the middle of the meadow was a very small pond and the water was clear It was bubbling up from beneath the ground. There in the water was a flower they had neve seen before. It was a pale blue lotus flower and the bubbling water splashed upon it. One by one they cupped their hands and filled them with the clear water and tasted it. "It's delicious!, one said. "It's so fresh!", said another. "I can't believe it", said a third boy.
The young men decided to take some of the flowers from the meadow and to leave the petals upon the trail so that they could be sure to find this spot again easily. Soon they began to hear the singing of he beautiful and lovely daughters of he village and they began to shout. The villagers all heard the shouting and began to get very excited. The daughters began to sing even louder because they wanted the young men to know that they had been heard.
On arriving at the spot where the water once flowed, the oldest of he young men told of the meadow and of the flowers and of the blue lotus. The other young men gave of the remaining flowers to the young women. When the grandfather and the grandmother heard of this strange blue flower, tears began to fall from their eyes, as this was the same flower that each had seen in their dream the night before.
Now the villagers returned to their homes happy with the news and anxious to see this new place. The daughters put some of the flowers the young men had carried into their hair and they looked even more lovely than before. After a long evening together, the villagers sat down upon the cloths laid out near the fields to contemplate the name of the mountain. The youngest child who could speak said "We can call it Blue Flower Mountain". It was agreed that this was indeed a very good name. In the morning everyone gathered together with their clay vessels and jars to once again go to the place where the water had been. To their surprise, the water was gently and steadily coming out of the crack in the rock once again. As the sun rose in the sky, the flow of water became even stronger until it seemed that it had never stopped.
It was decided that the meadow with the blue flower must be the source of their water and each promised the others that they would protect it for all time to come. It was also agreed that every spring on the first sign of warm weather, that a journey would be made to the source, to the blue lotus flower pond. The women agreed that they would sing so that the men would be able to find their way home. The men agreed that they would bring the flowers to the daughters so that they could become more beautiful than before. And so now every Spring, when the weather is warm, the villagers make a pilgrimage to the mountain to find the source, and the women put the flowers in their hair and the night is filled with happiness and joy, and the sweet smell of the midnight air. In this way, they remember the mountains name and they call it the Blue Flower Mountain.

Jeff Allison - S - Marlins
Former first-round draft pick Jeff Allison may not get another chance to pitch for the Marlins organization.
The highly touted prospect has battled addiction problems since being drafted in June of 2003. Allison remains on the team's ''restricted'' list and the team refuses to say if Allison will be allowed to report to minor-league training camp. Mar. 7 - 9:25 am et

Status of ex-No. 1 pick still uncertain
By Joe Capozzi
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 08, 2005
JUPITER — The Marlins will open their minor-league spring-training camp today without former No. 1 draft pick Jeff Allison.
Last year Allison reported to camp in April, five weeks late, then left in May without permission, prompting the team to place him on its restricted list without pay.
Allison blamed the absences on an addiction to OxyContin, which was detailed in a December 2004 Sports Illustrated story. He was fined $200,000 by the Marlins for failing a drug test for marijuana that spring.
This year, the Marlins hope he will join minor-league camp, perhaps as early as April, said a source with knowledge of Allison's situation. "He's got to get clean first, but we hope to see him here," the source said.
Allison signed with the Marlins for a $1.85 million bonus after he was drafted with the 16th overall pick in the first round of the June 2003 amateur draft. The Marlins have withheld about two-thirds of that bonus because of his drug problems.
He was Baseball America's High School Player of the Year after going 9-0 without allowing an earned run in 64 innings for Peabody (Mass.) High School.
But after pitching nine innings for the Marlins' Gulf Coast League team that summer, he was sidelined with what was described as shoulder tendinitis.
In November, the 20-year-old pitcher told his hometown newspaper, The Salem (Mass.) News, that he planned to return to the Marlins.
"I talked with the club... and they said I'm welcomed (back)," he said. "I definitely intend to be there."
Jeff Allison - S - Marlins
Jeff Allison, the team's first-round pick in 2003, will not join the organization in any capacity during spring training.

2003 first-round pick Jeff Allison has been removed from Florida's restricted list and been placed on the temporary active list at Single-A Greensboro.
Allison, who says he has recovered from an additition to the painkiller OxyContin, will probably join the active roster soon. It's good news for a pitcher whose Marlins career seemed to be over last year. He looked like an excellent prospect before missing 2004.

Carnival Reaches Consumer Settlement as Wreck Sparks Lawsuits
Carnival Corp.'s Italian unit said it reached a damage-settlement agreement with consumer groups, as the company was sued for the first time in the U.S. over the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship.
Costa Crociere SpA agreed to pay 11,000 euros ($14,500) to every passenger of the cruise ship that ran aground off the Italian coast on Jan. 13, killing at least 16, plus reimburse expenses including the cost of the cruise, according to a statement from the Genoa-based company today. The agreement was reached with consumer groups in countries including Italy, Germany, France and Spain, a company spokesman said.
The U.S. complaint, alleging negligence and breach of contract, was filed yesterday in federal court in Chicago by crew member Gary Lobaton, who seeks class-action status to represent all victims of the disaster off Giglio Island. A spokesman for Costa, a unit of Miami-based Carnival, declined to comment on the U.S. lawsuit.
Italian criminal lawyer Giulia Bongiorno next week will file a complaint on behalf of clients with Italian prosecutors investigating the wreck. Concordia's Captain Francesco Schettino was placed under house arrest on Jan. 17 for allegedly causing the wreck and abandoning the ship.
"My clients aren't happy with just a financial compensation," Bongiorno, who helped overturn the murder conviction of Amanda Knox's former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito in October, said in a phone interview today. The aim is to request that prosecutors investigate all responsibilities and not just the captain's, she said. Bongiorno, 45, who's also a member of Italy's Parliament, will represent more than 50 passengers, Corriere della Sera said.
Eighteen Missing
The Concordia struck rocks near Giglio after Schettino deviated from the planned route and steered close to the island, court documents show. The accident happened hours after the vessel left a port near Rome on a Mediterranean cruise carrying about 4,200 passengers and crew. Eighteen are still missing, though that number probably includes two of the dead who have not yet been identified.
The compensation proposal "is higher than the current indemnification limits that are provided for in international conventions and the laws currently in force," Costa Crociere said. Families of victims and injured will be offered a separate compensation, Costa said. A Costa spokesman declined to immediately comment on the U.S. lawsuit.
Total Costs
Italian consumer group ADOC estimated that about 3,000 passengers would get about 14,000 euros each if they accept the offer, including expenses, according to an e-mailed statement. ADOC forecast 85 percent of passengers will accept the offer. That would bring the total cost to about 42 million euros. Carnival has liability cover of as much as $3 billion with the Standard Club, a mutual insurance association owned by ship owners, and the Steamship Mutual Underwriting Association Ltd., according to spokesmen for the two firms.
Italian consumer group Codacons advised clients not to accept the offer, according to a statement on its website today. The association is putting together a class-action lawsuit with U.S. law firms Napoli Bern Ripka Shkolnik and Proner Proner LLP to be filed in Miami, it said. The group is seeking "at least" 125,000 euros per passenger and more than 1 million euros for "most serious cases," according to the statement.
Bruno Leporatti, Schettino's lawyer, has said the captain didn't abandon the ship and wrote in a Jan. 16 statement that his actions saved many lives. Schettino said he made an emergency maneuver after hitting the rocks to prevent the vessel from heading out to sea and sinking, according to the judge's written decision. Magistrates are also investigating another crew member while Costa Crociere is not under probe.
Unauthorized 'Salute'
Schettino also said that Costa Crociere asked him to navigate close to Giglio to salute the island, newspapers including la Repubblica have said. The salute wasn't authorized, Costa Crociere Chairman Pier Luigi Foschi has said.
Search operations resumed this morning as Royal Boskalis Westminster NV's Smit Salvage unit prepares to start pumping 500,000 gallons of fuel out of the ship tomorrow, Italy's civil protection agency said.
The insurance costs related to the sinking may reach $1 billion once environmental damage and injuries are added to the count, Moody's Investors Service said. Reinsurers will likely take on most of the burden, Moody's said.
In a separate report, Jefferies International Ltd. estimated the liability cost at 250 million euros.

Two years after the success of The Interns (1962) came this follow-up tale of medical interns during their first year working in a hospital. Ranging from comedy to melodrama, three main stories are woven around the principal characters. Functioning as the group's advisor, Dr. Alec Considine spends much of his time chasing women--one of which (an early role from Barbara Eden) may or may not wrangle a ring from him. Then there is a struggling married couple (played by Stefanie Powers and Dean Jones) who must face the possibility of never having children. Thirdly, Dr. Tony Parelli (George Segal in his film debut), coming from a gritty past, falls in love with social worker Nancy (Inger Stevens). Unfortunately Nancy has recently been sexually brutallized by three violent men and does not respond favorably to Dr. Parelli's attentions. Also starring are Telly Savalas and Kay Stevens, who, with Powers and Callan, appeared in the original and more successful Interns. ~ Kristie Hassen, Rovi

Is there a standard (preferably Apache Commons or similarly non-viral) library for doing "glob" type matches in Java? When I had to do similar in Perl once, I just changed all the "

ABC (ended 2006)
What would have happened to Larkin if there had been a seson 2?
The end of season 1 was so exciting, they never should have cancelled it.
They say that she would be presumed dead but I doubt a little. I figure it be a few weeks after the incident at the beach and have the entire flash backs to fill in the gaps. After that Russell and Dave would make it there goal to ruin Tom.
At the end of the episode they would have Larken come out either fully clothed in the same clothes she was wearing or she would be foundnaked. THe last possibility is the military finds Larkin's body and subjects her to all sorts of tests to make sure she was human or one of the lifeforms. Once they find she is human they subject her to more tests to determine why she wasn't turned. If she another lifeform they'll subject her different tests and keep her forever until she escapes.
The last alternative is human Larkin is found by military and Larkin copy finds her way to Russell. I think this one would be best for plot twists.
I don't think the lifeforms would know what to do because they hit the stomach as well and they would have two different sets of DNA to do stuff with. So I'm inclined to believe that she gets captured by military and they findshe'shumanafter thiswe find out that Tom's first wife is leading the military. Then season 2 unravels.

She's so cute
beautiful in a singular way jejeje
I feel such empathy, amazing job.
Wow...great job...she is stunning.
she look so beautifull..... o___________________________o
....Whoa, that's beautiful. Captivating too, with the colour scheme and the fear in the poor girl's face...
Poor thing, there's so much emotion in this picture that I'm really hoping she's not harmed by the experiment. XD
Again, you don't fail to impress, and congratulations on being a dad! I bet your child is beautiful.
Again, you don't fail to impress, and congratulations on being a dad! I bet your child is beautiful.
Awesome work & thank you for the, "How to" vids!
She looks so lost... beautiful work
woah.. o.o *studies intently, unable to really speak about how awesome it is right now*
Beautiful! I really like the expression on her face, and the colors are to die for! It's so AWESOME!
She is actually much like a mice in the lab to me, and her look just make me feel that's how mice react when they are put to experiment: innocent and fear
That's one hell of an arresting image.
The color palette in this piece is stunning!
It definitely wouldn't break my heart to see an entire game in this style! Very well done!
Wow, wow, wow. Sci-fi with a heart. Love how the red from her eyes comes back in the shiny thingies in the back of her head.
The expression is really beautiful <3
Whoa... this is beautiful.
Beautiful colors and expression.
Those eyes man... ridiculous!!!!
She's wonderful. Congrats
Great work!
This is stunning! And congratulations on all your wonderful blessings!
stunning O.O I love it.
I love the expression on her face.
Omg I love this piece!
Fear and innocence captured in such an awesome way
Expression. Color. Lighting. WONDERFUL.
I love that kind of face, it's really beautifull !
It's beautiful. ;__;
Knew this was great by the thumbnail, and very happy I clicked to find out. It caught me by its vivid colours, cool tones and empathetic beauty. Gorgeous!
this is wonderful !
couple hours huh? that would take me several days and i would never bother to polish it that much. you're not the one who needs to paint more. although she does look more like she's about to cry than she just woke up. maybe you just need to sketch more quickies if you want to improve.
This is an attractive robot, haha. Keep it up!
Super cool!
this is sooo cool
I love these kinds of stuff, scifi robot stuff... great job man.
I like the detail you put into the machinery. Parts of it look futuristic, but other sections remind me of the protective equipment that early Earth astronauts wore.
Wow, beautiful, as usual. The lighting (and anatomy, I can't do anything nearly so realistic) is absolutely gorgeous.
this is freakin awesome! Love it
great art

Fulton writes:
"Four years ago, childless and carless, my nephew and his wife lived the urban life in the fashionable Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Cleveland Park. Child No. 1 pushed them four miles out, to the expensive inner Maryland suburb of Bethesda, where they bought a cozy two-bedroom condominium that had been converted from an apartment. Then, a couple of months ago, Child No. 2 pushed them another 12 miles farther out – beyond the Beltway – to Rockville, where they bought a four-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot house.
Now they are living the suburban life – which means, inevitably, a large yard, two or three cars, and an autobound life for all concerned, including their infant. Right?
Well, not exactly. Yes, they have headed for the suburbs. But their life isn't really very autobound at all. Suburbia to them means an end-unit townhome, one car, a daily bus trip to day care, a 10- to 15-minute walk to the library and shopping at Rockville Town Square, and D.C. Metro commutes (13 minutes for him, 30 for her) to work and back.
To them, living in the suburbs is about living, not about driving."
Thanks to Bill Fulton
Call it smart growth, new urbanism, new suburbanism, or whatever, but it just sounds great. Growing up in Los Angeles in the Mid Wilshire area in the 1960's - 1990's I was raised in a high rise apartment block, and we were adjacent to 4 story apartments, garden apartments and single family houses. We had great bus service and easy walks to the Farmer's Market, library, and school...maybe it is back-to the future-ism.

1998 Nissan Maxima Problems
The Check Engine Light may illuminate indicating a primary ignition signal fault. Many times the cause is an ignition coil(s) that has failed. The problem in the coil causes the spark energy to feedback through the wiring harness into the other coils. If this is not repaired, it can damage the other coils (blistering on the coils may be seen).
If the power steering pump develops leaks, it can drip onto the lower control arm bushing causing the bushing to deteriorate. A knocking noise will be heard when driving over bumps and it may become more difficult to control the vehicle.
The ground inside mass air flow (MAF) sensor can corrode and possibly cause drivability problems. The corrosion is enough to affect the sensor data but not enough to create a trouble code. Diagnosing this can be difficult because it won't always illuminate the Check Engine Light.
1998 Nissan Maxima Questions
I've been pulled over several times due to this problem. Is there something that I can do one my own to see if it fixes the problem
it started well until this past week. Hot or cold it does this. After a few minutes or more it starts. Clicking noise in rear of engine by windshield when attempting a false start. Is it starter, alternator, or something electrical?

1998 Nissan Maxima Reviews
What a vehicle. I bought this with 55K miles on it in 2001. It now has 345K miles. The engine runs great, burns no oil, and gets 25mpg consistently. I've changed a couple starters and both the rear hubs @ 200K. The exhaust system is totally original and the body has no rust. Being from Minnesota that's a miracle. I had some service done on the vehicle (ignition coil) and the electrical systems ...
I've had my car for 12 years and love it! So comfortable and reliable. Don't like the looks of the newer Maximas though.
Let me tell you when we leased our 1998 Nissan Maxima in July of 1998 we did not think we would be giving it to our 5 year old son at the time when he got his license.! My husband drove that car 5 to 6 days a week to/from work 60 miles each way from July 1998 to February 2010 it has 365,000 miles on it, ORIGINAL exhaust on it, original body, minor rust spots. Sadly we are in a time as to wheth...

An older image.
Even battle brothers who serve nobly in the dreadnaughts are not immune from eventually being forced to work a desk job in the chapter's home chapel, where they idly dream of their past days of glory and wonder if signing up with the Imperial Guard in order to get back in the action wouldn't be a bad idea.
Love it man!
Black templar dread? so knightly!
Quite a spectacular image, love it!
i always liked that one
Oh wow, this is awesome! You rarely see images of dreadnoughts in this state, so this is quite the gem :3
we want to know more about the Story of the Dreadnought king XD
I'll update the comments section of the image with a short version of the story behind the image in the near future.
The details on the Dreadnought is just so impressive and especially the background that made this all the more amazing Art.
Tell me the story behind it. Please.

Lent has begun! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
Here is, 1. The danger that there is in the beginning of strife. One hot word, one peevish reflection, one angry demand, one spiteful contradiction, begets another, and that a third, and so on, till it proves like the cutting of a dam; when the water has got a little passage it does itself widen the breach, bears down all before it, and there is then no stopping it, no reducing it. 2. A good caution inferred thence, to take heed of the first spark of contention and to put it out as soon as ever it appears. Dread the breaking of the ice, for, if once broken, it will break further; therefore leave it off, not only when you see the worst of it, for then it may be too late, but when you see the first of it. Obsta principiis—Resist its earliest display. Leave it off even before it be meddled with; leave it off, if it were possible, before you begin.

Transcend SSD340 (256GB) Reviewby Kristian Vättö on August 4, 2014 5:00 AM EST
A couple of months ago we reviewed JMicron's JMF667H reference design SSDs, which did relatively well in our tests especially when taking JMicron's previous SSD controllers into account. As always, reference designs are only meant for evaluation and do not make their way into retail, so today we are taking a look at Transcend's SSD340.
The SSD340 is based on the same JMF667H controller, although the firmware is an older version than what we tested in the reference design SSDs. Transcend told us that they currently have no plans to update the firmware to the newer version, which I am guessing is due to using customized firmware. It is actually quite rare that OEMs use the stock firmware as typically the OEMs request some changes and customizations, making it slower and more difficult to upgrade the firmware. I would not even be surprised if some OEMs did not upgrade the firmware to ensure product differentiation because it is obvious that OEMs do not want their low end drives to jeopardize the sales of higher cost (and profit) drives.
Update 8/18: Apparently Transcend has released a new firmware for the SSD340. I will try to find some time to test the new firmware and will provide an update if anything changes.
|Transcend SSD340 Specifications
|JMicron JMF667H
|Micron 128Gbit 20nm MLC
|Sequential Read
|Sequential Write
|4KB Random Read
|4KB Random Write
|Idle Power
|Load Power (Read/Write)
|Three years
The SSD340 is available in capacities ranging from 32GB to 256GB. The JMF667H actually has a capacity limit of 256GB, which also limits the SSD340 to just 256GB. We should see JMF670H make its entry later this year with support for 512GB, but until then 256GB is the highest you can go with a JMicron controller.
Like nearly all client SSDs, the SSD340 has a three-year warranty with an endurance limitation. Quite surprisingly the endurance scales with capacity, although the scaling is not exactly linear. Nowadays most client SSDs only have a single rating for all capacities, so it is pleasant to see a scalable endurance for a change. I am pretty sure many OEMs just artificially lower the spec to make sure that enterprises customers do not choose the lower profit consumer drives, as the difference between high-end client and entry-level enterprise drives is quite indeterminate (i.e. entry-level enterprise drives are usually based on client platforms).
Transcend's data sheet for the SSD340 states that the drive supports DevSleep, although there are not any actual power figures listed aside from normal idle, which are way too high for DevSleep. Since the controller supports DevSleep, I have to wonder why Transcend has not published any power figures; we'll check power later on to verify whether the SSD340 actually supports DevSleep.
Transcend uses Micron's 128Gbit 20nm NAND in the SSD340. Our 256GB review sample had a total of sixteen NAND packages (eight on each side of the PCB), meaning that each package is a single-die package with one 128Gbit (16GB) die. There is also Samsung's 256MB DDR3-1600 DRAM chip working as a cache.

Performance Consistency
Performance consistency tells us a lot about the architecture of these SSDs and how they handle internal defragmentation. The reason we do not have consistent IO latency with SSDs is because inevitably all controllers have to do some amount of defragmentation or garbage collection in order to continue operating at high speeds. When and how an SSD decides to run its defrag or cleanup routines directly impacts the user experience as inconsistent performance results in application slowdowns.
To test IO consistency, we fill a secure erased SSD with sequential data to ensure that all user accessible LBAs have data associated with them. Next we kick off a 4KB random write workload across all LBAs at a queue depth of 32 using incompressible data. The test is run for just over half an hour and we record instantaneous IOPS every second.
We are also testing drives with added over-provisioning by limiting the LBA range. This gives us a look into the drive's behavior with varying levels of empty space, which is frankly a more realistic approach for client workloads.
Each of the three graphs has its own purpose. The first one is of the whole duration of the test in log scale. The second and third one zoom into the beginning of steady-state operation (t=1400s) but on different scales: the second one uses log scale for easy comparison whereas the third one uses linear scale for better visualization of differences between drives. Click the buttons below each graph to switch the source data.
For more detailed description of the test and why performance consistency matters, read our original Intel SSD DC S3700 article.
|Transcend SSD340
|JMicron JMF667H (Toshiba NAND)
|JMicron JMF667H (IMFT NAND)
|Samsung SSD 840 EVO mSATA
|Crucial MX100
Right from the start, things do not look too promising. Compared to the reference design with the same IMFT NAND, the IO consistency is considerably lower. The reference design manages around 1,000 IOPS minimum, whereas in the SSD340 the minimum performance is around 300 IOPS. Increasing the over-provisioning helps by a bit but the consistency is still poor compared to the other value drives (like the MX100). The older firmware definitely isn't doing Transcend any favors here – quite the opposite in fact.

TRIM Validation
To test TRIM, I first filled all user-accessible LBAs with sequential data and continued with torturing the drive with 4KB random writes (100% LBA, QD=32) for 30 minutes. After the torture I TRIM'ed the drive (quick format in Windows 7/8) and ran HD Tach to make sure TRIM is functional.
And it is.
AnandTech Storage Bench 2013
Our Storage Bench 2013 focuses on worst-case multitasking and IO consistency. Similar to our earlier Storage Benches, the test is still application trace based – we record all IO requests made to a test system and play them back on the drive we are testing and run statistical analysis on the drive's responses. There are 49.8 million IO operations in total with 1583.0GB of reads and 875.6GB of writes. I'm not including the full description of the test for better readability, so make sure to read our Storage Bench 2013 introduction for the full details.

|Visual Studio 2012
We are reporting two primary metrics with the Destroyer: average data rate in MB/s and average service time in microseconds. The former gives you an idea of the throughput of the drive during the time that it was running the test workload. This can be a very good indication of overall performance. What average data rate doesn't do a good job of is taking into account response time of very bursty (read: high queue depth) IO. By reporting average service time we heavily weigh latency for queued IOs. You'll note that this is a metric we have been reporting in our enterprise benchmarks for a while now. With the client tests maturing, the time was right for a little convergence.
Ouch, this is bad. The SSD340 is the slowest SSD in our 2013 Storage Bench and the difference is quite substantial. Given the results on the previous page along with the results here, it is clear that the SSD340 is not suitable for IO heavy workloads that require consistency. It still might have something to offer in lighter workloads, but that's looking increasingly doubtful.
AnandTech Storage Bench 2011
Back in 2011 (which seems like so long ago now!), we introduced our AnandTech Storage Bench, a suite of benchmarks that took traces of real OS/application usage and played them back in a repeatable manner. The MOASB, officially called AnandTech Storage Bench 2011 – Heavy Workload, mainly focuses on peak IO performance and basic garbage collection routines. There is a lot of downloading and application installing that happens during the course of this test. Our thinking was that it's during application installs, file copies, downloading and multitasking with all of this that you can really notice performance differences between drives. The full description of the Heavy test can be found here, while the Light workload details are here.
Fortunately the performance is much better in our 2011 Storage Benches. It looks like the JMF667H does fairly well in terms of peak performance but as soon as you fill the drive and start playing with consistency, the performance will take a massive hit.
Random Read/Write Speed
The four corners of SSD performance are as follows: random read, random write, sequential read and sequential write speed. Random accesses are generally small in size, while sequential accesses tend to be larger and thus we have the four Iometer tests we use in all of our reviews.
Our first test writes 4KB in a completely random pattern over an 8GB space of the drive to simulate the sort of random access that you'd see on an OS drive (even this is more stressful than a normal desktop user would see). We perform three concurrent IOs and run the test for 3 minutes. The results reported are in average MB/s over the entire time.
Random performance is okay and similar to the other JMF667H SSDs. Queue depth scaling has never been JMicron's strength but then again typical client workloads do not usually go above queue depth of 5 anyway.
Sequential Read/Write Speed
To measure sequential performance we run a 1 minute long 128KB sequential test over the entire span of the drive at a queue depth of 1. The results reported are in average MB/s over the entire test length.
Sequential performance leaves a lot to be desired. Especially write performance is poor for a 256GB drive.
AS-SSD Incompressible Sequential Read/Write Performance
The AS-SSD sequential benchmark uses incompressible data for all of its transfers. The result is a pretty big reduction in sequential write speed on SandForce based controllers.
Performance vs. Transfer Size
ATTO is a useful tool for quickly benchmarking performance across various transfer sizes. You can get the complete data set in Bench. Read performance scaling is actually better than in the reference design JMF667H we tested, although the SSD340 is still outperformed by the 840 EVO and SP610. Write performance seems to be similar to the reference design and the maximum throughout is definitely a bit disappointing.
Click for full size
Power Consumption
It looks like the SSD340 does not support slumber power states (HIPM+DIPM), or at least it is not very efficient in doing so. Load power consumption looks better, although the reference design is still more power efficient. Given the lackluster performance so far, this is just one more reason to look elsewhere.
Final Words
From a performance perspective, the SSD340 leaves a lot to be desired. It is the slowest SSD in our 2013 Storage Bench and the IO consistency is also quite horrible compared to the competition. I have to wonder why Transcend is not utilizing the newer firmware from JMicron because the reference design SSD with Intel's 128Gbit 20nm NAND is much faster than the SSD340 is. It is certainly possible that Transcend is using lower grade NAND to cut costs, which would explain the lower performance, but I find it hard to believe that the NAND alone would result in up to 35% decrease in performance.
|Amazon Price Comparison (7/31/2014)
|Transcend SSD340
|ADATA Premier Pro SP920
|ADATA Premier SP610
|SanDisk Ultra Plus
|Crucial MX100
|Plextor M6S
|Intel SSD 530
|OCZ Vertex 460
|Samsung SSD 840 EVO
Ultimately it all boils down to price and that is where the SSD340 fails to set itself apart from the competition. The SSD340 is definitely one of the cheapest SSDs around but the competition can provide a much better feature set and performance at a similar price. For the price of the SSD340, you can get ADATA Premier SP610, SanDisk Ultra Plus or Crucial MX100 – all of which are better picks than the SSD340. The only advantage that the SSD340 has is the 64GB model that most manufacturers no longer offer, but I would strongly recommend spending $15-20 more to get twice the capacity and a better SSD (e.g. the MX100).
All in all, the SSD340 is a rather unimpressive drive. At $50 for 128GB and $90 for 256GB, it might be a good option for buyers that have a very tight budget, but at the current prices the SSD340 just does not make any sense. You are much better off with the Crucial MX100 or ADATA Premier SP610 at the same price.

Education Initiatives | News
In a video address at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced that August will be "Connected Educator Month," and called upon teachers and other educational leaders to innovate through online collaboration and learning environments.
"Now more than ever we need strong leaders…to guide the country in transforming education and vastly improving the opportunity to learn for every American," Duncan said. "Every educator needs to be connected with the best digital content, tools, and resources in order to enliven the learning environment for students, and to fully connect with peers and experts."
The Department of Education's Office of Educational Technology (OET) will convene Connected Educator Month in conjunction with the American Institutes for Research (AIR), a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that conducts research in behavioral and social science and delivers technical assistance in the areas of health, education, and workforce productivity. The event is part of OET's Connected Educators initiative, which is supporting informal, online, social and professional learning for educators by conducting research, hosting communities, and working with the education sector.
More than 50 organizations--from the American School Counselor Association and Cisco to the National Association of Elementary School Principals--will participate in the online event. Throughout August, educators will have opportunities to participate in dozens of online activities, including forums, webinars and contests, intended to develop skills and enhance learning. The Connected Educators website also will offer tools and resources to help educators become more connected.

Natalie Portman is my home girl
This is gorgeous!!!!!
very good, I like the style of this illustration
Oh yes..and I was going to say that I like the line work! Im guessing its a photoshop piece?
I have to admit that I have a crush on Natalie Portman too (the Victoria Secret model Adrianna Lima is amazingly beautiful too). I think that she is so interesting and delicate looking (especially in Garden State and V for Vendetta). She seems intellectual and funny too, which only adds to it.
This is really amazing.
Thanks, actually i think Natalie Portman is very beautiful, she have like a innocent beauty in her face.
The curls turned out really well
