BASICS; Now Your Cellphone Can Remember Moms Birthday
By JOE HUTSKO
Published: December 26, 2002
HAVING all your contacts and appointments at hand is one of the most convenient things about owning a handheld organizer, and synchronizing makes it easy to keep both the hand-held and your big computer up to date. Press a button, and everything on the big computer transfers to the pocket-size one. Add or change things on the hand-held, and the next sync transmits the changes back to the mother ship.
Millions of cellphone owners, on the other hand, tend to punch those same names and numbers by hand into the phone rather than transferring existing entries from a personal information manager like Microsoft Outlook or Entourage on desktop or notebook computers. As numbers are updated on one side or the other, conflicts inevitably ensue: is my friends new home number the one on my computer, or the one on my phone?
Thanks to new cellphones and to software from phone manufacturers and others, saying goodbye to all that thumb-busting keypunching is relatively easy. Make the connection, and the phone and computer can exist in complete harmony. Whats more, the latest cellphone synchronization tools can also import other information like tasks and Lotus Notes data, making it possible to leave the hand-held home and make do with the phone, albeit with compromises.
The first consideration is how to connect your phone and computer. A special U.S.B. cable made for your phone model is often the easiest solution. If no cable is available at the cellphone store, check the providers or phone manufacturers Web store. Such cables generally cost $50 or less. If there is no specific cable for your phone model, a third-party solution -- often paired with software -- may be the answer.
Less obvious than a cable but more interesting if you are willing to put up with some setup headaches are wireless connection options like infrared and Bluetooth. Infrared connectivity has been around longer and was once standard equipment on most notebook computers, although it has become less common on newer models. Assuming you have it, you will need a phone with an infrared port as well. Many of Nokias phones have infrared ports, but numerous popular models, including Sanyos SCP-4900 and Samsungs SPH-a500, do not. After adjusting the computers Control Panel settings, making the connection is as simple as aiming the cellphones infrared eye at the notebooks infrared eye and starting the sync program (some will even start automatically). Owners of PCs without infrared can buy a small infrared device with a cable that plugs into a U.S.B. port.
Although the wireless connection standard Bluetooth is not yet commonly built into computers, it can easily be added to Macs and Windows models alike. Choices include a device that plugs into a computers U.S.B. port, or a PC card slot or an expansion card installed inside the computer. U.S.B. plugtype models made by Belkin and D-Link ($59.99 at www.belkin.com and $49 at www.dlink.com) functioned equally well on a Sony Vaio SRX-99 notebook and a Gateway desktop. The D-Link also worked well on Apples PowerBook G4 and iBook. The Macs running the OS X 10.2 operating system were the easiest to set up and connect with the phone I was using, a Web-enabled Sony Ericsson T68i with both Bluetooth and an infrared port.
What data flows between your computer and phone, and how, depends on the software each has and the additional software you choose to make the two come together. Nokia and Sony Ericsson each point buyers to Windows programs that can be downloaded at no charge from their Web sites. Both programs installed easily. Infrared synching went smoothly with either brand and program; however, establishing the initial Bluetooth connection between the Windows machines and cellphones required several trial-and-error adjustments.
The Nokia combination of phone and software (Nokia PC Suite) is especially useful because the Nokia phones Contacts feature holds not only the usual names and numbers but also e-mail and postal addresses. The program offered by Sony Ericsson, XTNDConnect PC from Extended Systems www.extendedsystems.com), allows the entry of names, numbers and e-mail address. Both phones I tested, the T68i and the Nokia 8390, can also share and display calendars and task lists. A $39.95 upgrade to the full version of XTNDConnect PC allows synchronization with PC contact and calendar software like Lotus Notes, ACT and GoldMine, as well as directly with Pocket PC and Palm-based hand-helds.
The synchronization of about 300 contacts and 75 calendar items can take as long as 10 minutes the first time. Note: If you are certain that all of the contacts on your computer are the most up-to-date, adjust the programs settings to overwrite the names and numbers on the phone rather than synching, so that you dont wind up with a mixed bag of duplicate data. After the first synchronization, subsequent syncs generally take only a few seconds.
Unfortunately, neither Nokia nor Sony Ericsson provides synchronization programs for Macintosh. Still, Mac users arent left in the dust. Apples iSync program, available in a beta version for free downloading from www.apple.com by OS X 10.2 users, works with the Sony Ericsson T68i and a handful of other Ericsson phones. The catch is that Mac data must reside in Apples own Address Book or iCal personal information manager software. (Address Book comes with Mac OS X, and iCal is free for downloading.) ISync also offers a oneway transfer of contact and calendar items to iPod music players and syncs in both directions with Palm-based hand-helds.

Best Art Gallery (2007)
Kevin Bruk Gallery
Located on a strip arguably housing some of the city's most stellar art spaces, this gallery stands out for the consistent quality of its exhibitions this past year. Kevin Bruk, who may have Tommy Lasorda's eye for spotting major-league talent, has been hitting back-to-back homers during a season in which one almost needed a scorecard to keep track of his stats. Bruk led off the year with Craig Kucia's stunning solo show, featuring a suite of sprawling, oil on canvas works in which the artist created quixotic, otherworldly outdoor scenes. During Art Basel, the dealer made a run with Fabian Marcaccio's richly textured wall-swallowing works riffing on the Iraq War, including an imposing, larger-than-life, gun-toting soldier fashioned from canvas and paint that anchored the show. After the New Year, Su-en Wong cleaned up with a series of skull-swelling shots, in which she painted multiple versions of herself, often nude or in schoolgirl regalia, to pulverize Western stereotypes of Asian women as submissive sex objects. Most recently Bruk brought in the big-swinging natural, Richard Butler, former frontman for the Psychedelic Furs. The painter's lavish oil on canvas portraits were hard to shake off, and depicted his subjects with freakishly distorted bodies and faces obscured with eerie fetish gear. Oh, and if one needs a better excuse to visit Bruk's ballpark, consider that more often than not, the talent he's been fielding lately has rarely, if ever, shown its stuff in Miami before.

http://www.meetup.com/TheGuide/ Spirituality is in full agreement with science, as they are both true in their practical applications, but where science has not reached yet in understanding the structure of the universe, spirituality did.
Each one of us has to be empowered to follow their own path, and therefore I'm posting this video here with no judgment or even trying to qualify the content, please use it as you see fit in your specific path. We all probably felt at one point like we are stuck like a mouse in maze. This is a good thing, it creates a desire to breakthrough, out of this world. Just like it pushes a mouse to solve a problem.

Keith A. Robinson had no plans to be an author. But the love of reading finally caught up with this music teacher from Wisconsin. He wanted to honor God by using his imagination to write a science fiction story about what life would be like on a world where evolution had really taken place. That idea became his first novel, Logic's End.
But he wanted to do more than simply produce another exciting story—he wanted to infuse it with biblical truth. Realizing the power of fiction to reach a wide audience, Keith decided to use creative storytelling to show that the Bible can be trusted. It's a marriage he calls apologetics fiction. "Non-Christians don't want to read a book that they know is going to preach to them. Therefore, we are trying to repackage the information from the nonfiction [apologetics] books into exciting stories that entertain while they educate . . . making the books effective witnessing tools."
For Christians, Keith says that tying Bible-defending material into a memorable plot helps believers remember the key issues— much like Jesus's parables. Not only do the plot elements move the story along, but they also act as guideposts when readers later discuss the issues with friends and family.
The goal is not to present a thesis in the middle of a novel but rather to whet the appetite of the reader.
The uniqueness of this burgeoning genre has also captivated other writers. Along with authors Tim Chaffey, Julie Cave, and Nick Daniels, Keith maintains a website that promotes his books and encourages future writers in this genre.
For aspiring novelists hoping to follow in his footsteps, Keith explains that you shouldn't focus on giving all the answers in your book. "I believe it is imperative that the apologetics arguments not get in the way of the flow of the storytelling. . . . The goal is not to present a thesis on a topic in the middle of a novel, but rather to whet the appetite of the reader."
You can find out more about Christian apologetics fiction by Keith Robinson and others at www.apologeticsfiction.com
You have to know what apologetics arguments you want to include in the novel. As I do the research, I take notes so I can later footnote my novels. This is important because it lets the reader know what is fact and what is pure storytelling.
No matter how good your arguments are, no one will read the book if the story isn't exciting.
Get the general plot mapped out in your head, and then figure out the most effective way to present the apologetics arguments. Would some part of the plot be a great object lesson or help demonstrate a truth memorably?
Write down which apologetics arguments will appear in each chapter (if any).
Bring the characters to life by developing backgrounds for them, but keep in mind how each personality might affect both the story and the apologetics arguments.
All of that preliminary work should be done before you write the first sentence. But the great news is that once everything is in place, the story basically writes itself.
It's impossible to explain how even one creature could evolve by chance, but in fact all life needs a complete community of other organisms to survive. The web of life had to be in place from the very start for any of us to exist. What an amazing testimony to the Creator!

Yanick Lehoux is a high scoring Kings prospect, currently playing for Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the QMJHL. Lehoux is averaging nearly two points a game. In 55 games he has 48 goals, 61 assists (109 points) and has an amazing 13 short handed goals. These numbers have gotten Lehoux a snub from the Canadian World Junior Championship team, and is generally regarded as the Kings' 4th to 5th best prospect. How could this happen during a career year?
Lehoux is listed at 6'0, 190 lbs.. Most who have seen him in person would regard this as a reach. Add this rumored lack of size to his absence from the WJC squad and one name comes to King's fans minds:
Pavel Rosa
While Lehoux numbers are breathtaking, they are not new to the Kings' system. Rosa had 63 goals in 68 games in the Q, and scored 153 points. Numbers that had the Kings foaming at the mouth. Those stats have brought the Kings whopping four NHL goals so far, and Rosa is playing in Europe. Another prospect that boasted lofty numbers was Justin Papineau. The Kings elected not to sign him and he recently played in the AHL All-Star Game as a member of the St. Louis Blues organization. Papineau was in the nearly identical situation that Lehoux is currently in, and his development may turn out to be egg on the Kings' faces.
Another problem for Lehoux has been the emergence of the Kings' system. Years ago, the Kings would have been touting Lehoux as the next coming, just as they did with Rosa and Papineau. Now, fresh off the WJC's, the Kings have top prospects like Alexander Frolov and Jared Aulin Read more»

Re-Did the Tank Again....
Here we go.....I took the legos out and added a new plant and a platform(to the left) for the newt to be able to get 100% out of water if he wants.
The water level is Higher then it apears in the Picture.
what do y'all think?
wow looks very natural now, will look a lot better when you make it a 100% vivavarium, good job
looks alot better, great job :D
Also I am getting a Amazon Sword(Plant) Very soon.
Today when I went to the lfs I ordered 1 From them.
Then The tank will be mostly Completed....There's still a few changes I wanna Make.
if you want to change the substrate to sand, you should do it before you add plants, plants dont like a sudden change in substrate
looks very nice :o ,but a Amazon Sword will get to large for this tank.
all the articles ive read say that if you change the substrate, change 1/10th of the tanks substrate per week to prevent problems with the plant.
I changed from gravel to sand all at once in a very heavily planted tank, and never had any trouble at all.
Except for the plecos destroying my amazon swords lol
oh ok then i guess i have been proven wrong lol

No injuries were reported in a Harrisburg fire early Monday.
The blaze started about 3:30 a.m. Monday in a duplex in the 600 block of Schuylkill Street.

PG&E's stealth initiative gets some press
12.28.09 - 5:00 pm |
By Tim Redmond
Pacific Gas and Electric Co's $3 million ballot-box attack on public power is starting to get some press attention. The L.A. Times today has a nice story by Michael Hiltzik that points out the essential lie:
What are the chances that PG&E ginned up this innocuous-sounding initiative, shrouding its own involvement behind a scrim of public relations and law firms, largely to preserve its monopoly against competition from public power agencies? I'd say 100%.
It's going to take a huge amount of effort to defeat this thing, but at least (some of) the media is starting to notice.

27:0304(41)CA - DOT, FAA, Washington, DC; FAA, Eastern Region, Jamaica, NY; FAA, Airways Facilities Sector 810, Albany, NY and PASS -- 1987 FLRAdec CA
[ v27 p304 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
27 FLRA No. 41 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, WASHINGTON, D.C.; FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, EASTERN REGION, JAMAICA, NEW YORK; AND FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION, AIRWAYS FACILITIES SECTOR 810, ALBANY, NEW YORK Respondent and PROFESSIONAL AIRWAYS SYSTEMS SPECIALISTS Charging Party Case No. 1-CA-30218 (20 FLRA No. 68) DECISION AND ORDER ON REMAND I. Statement of the Case This case is before the Authority on remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Professional Airways Systems Specialists, MEBA, AFL-CIO v. FLRA, No. 85-1827 (D.C. Cir. Jan. 16, 1987). The case concerns whether the refusal-to-bargain violation in Department of Transportation, 20 FLRA 548 (1985) (DOT) warrants a remedy of backpay. /1/ II. History of the Case A. Facts In 1983 the Respondent informed representatives of the Charging Party (the Union) of a planned reduction-in-force (RIF) which would affect a unit employee (Mr. Panek) in Albany, New York. The Union requested bargaining on the implementation of the RIF. The Respondent refused the Union's request and implemented the RIF without bargaining. As a result of the RIF, Panek was separated from employment, after refusing a transfer to Saranac Lake, New York. The refusal to bargain gave rise to the complaint, alleging that the Respondent had violated section 7116(a)(1) and (5) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute). B. Administrative Law Judge's Decision In DOT, the Judge rejected Respondent's view that it had no duty to bargain on the implementation of the RIF and concluded that Respondent's refusal to bargain violated the Statute. To remedy the violation, the Judge recommended that the Respondent be ordered to cease and desist from this conduct, to rescind the RIF and reinstate Panek upon request, and to bargain on the implementation of the RIF as requested by the Union. He concluded that a backpay remedy, requested in connection with Panek's separation, would be inappropriate. 20 FLRA 561. C. Authority's Decision On review, the Authority affirmed the Judge's decision that the Respondent violated the Statute by refusing to bargain and adopted the essence of his recommended remedy, agreeing with the Judge that the violation did not warrant a backpay remedy. 20 FLRA 548 n.2. D. Court's Decision In Professional Airways Systems Specialists, the court granted the petitions for review of DOT and the companion case of Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C., 20 FLRA 273 (1985) (FAA). The court concluded that the Authority had applied a per se rule under the Back Pay Act by denying backpay in "impact and implementation" cases, and the court held that a per se rule in such cases is contrary to the Act. Slip op. at 2. Accordingly, the court remanded both cases to enable the Authority to fashion a proper test for awarding backpay in impact and implementation cases. The court expressed no opinion on whether the employees in the cases before it are entitled to backpay. Slip op. at 11. III. Analysis In Federal Aviation Administration, 27 FLRA No. 36 (1987) (FAA II) -- our decision on the remand in the companion case -- we reconsidered the issue of backpay in cases of a refusal to bargain over "impact and implementation," and we formulated an approach which we believe to be consistent with the Back Pay Act and the purposes and policies of the Statute. In sum, we recognized that a backpay award under the Back Pay Act requires determinations that: (1) an employee was affected by an unjustified or unwarranted agency personnel action; (2) the unjustified personnel action resulted in a withdrawal or reduction in pay, allowances, or differentials of the employee; and (3) the withdrawal or reduction would not have occurred but for the unjustified action. In FAA II we specifically noted that the first requirement is met when it is established that employees were affected by an agency unfair labor practice, including a refusal-to-bargain violation. The second requirement is met when it is shown that the agency personnel action which gave rise to the violation resulted in a withdrawal or reduction in the pay, allowances, or differentials of employees. In FAA II we decided that if these requirements are met in a refusal-to-bargain case, we will conclude that the violation warrants a remedy of backpay. This remedy will require an award of backpay which is consistent with the results of the bargaining ordered to correct the unfair labor practice, subject to the parties agreeing otherwise. Slip op. at 6. IV. Conclusion: the backpay remedy in DOT, 20 FLRA 548 In DOT is was shown that the Respondent refused to bargain on the implementation of the RIF as required by the Statute. Accordingly, it is established that unit employees were affected by an unjustified or unwarranted personnel action. It was also shown that the unjustified personnel action -- implementation by the agency of a reduction-in-force in the Albany sector without bargaining as required by the Statute -- directly resulted in the separation from employment of Panek and a total withdrawal of his pay, allowances, and differentials. Applying to this case the approach we explained in detail in FAA II and have summarized here, we conclude that the Authority's prior order in this case should be supplemented with a backpay remedy. Since the bargaining order previously issued, which required Respondent to rescind its RIF and reinstate Panek upon request, it remains to require Respondent (absent agreement by the parties otherwise) to provide backpay to Panek consistent with the results of the ordered bargaining. The backpay remedy is limited to the period of Panek's separation as a result of Respondent's unilateral action. V. Order Pursuant to section 2423.29 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations and section 7118 of the Statute, the United States Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Washington, D.C.; Federal Aviation Administration, Eastern Region, Jamaica, New York; and Federal Aviation Administration, Airways Facilities Sector 810, Albany, New York shall take the following affirmative action to effectuate the purposes and policies of the Statute -- 1. Except as otherwise agreed by the Professional Airways Systems Specialists, MEBA, AFL-CIO, provide backpay to Mr. Andrew Panek, who suffered a withdrawal of his pay, allowances

- " Everything was great, other than there not being enough hot water during a morning shower. As I was one of the earlier ones up, I do not think that it was a hot water capacity issue (besides someone else who took a shower in a different bathroom in the same dorm room said they had plenty hot water). Staff was very nice and there was a very pleasant environment/atmosphere. I highly recommend this hostel. "
- 29 Jan 2016 Anonymous USA
- " The rooms was super cold and you were only given a sheet and a thin blanket. Had a tiny heater that didn't do much, so during the night it was freezing. The rooms was super dirty. During my stay, Friday to Monday the room was not cleaned once. Would had wished that there was information on hostelworld/hostels.com that there was a 80 dollar minimum on credit card payments. Water pressure was terrible in the showers!! "
- 08 Jan 2016 Frida Sweden
- " To be totally frank, this is a party hostel. This is how it is set up. If you don't like that, stay elsewhere.That said, there being breakfast available to buy was wonderful. I was only in New Orleans for a few days so having an inexpensive way to get food in the morning that didn't involve me cooking was wonderful.They say there are towels to buy, but they were out when I was there, fyi. They were totally cool with me using a sheet so not unreasonable by any means but something tobeawareof. "
- 03 Jan 2016 Anonymous USA
- " Grate atmosphere. Staff was awsome and friendly. Should maybe concider putting same age groups in large capacity rooms. "
- 22 Dec 2015 Ros
- " Good location, short tram ride to the French Quarter. Breakfast was delicious and cheap and everyone was super friendly. Room had a bit of a weird smell but it was clean. "
- 19 Dec 2015 Anonymous Australia
- " I stayed at the India House hostel during thanksgiving and I must say the experience was quite great. The hostel staff cooked a thanksgiving meal for all the guests and it was delicious!!! The international environment that you can feel all over the place it's just amazing. An authentic hostel experience. "
- 25 Nov 2015 Yeison Colombia
- " The hostel is really cool, quite big, you can eat there for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the living room is really nice. The only problem? It was 40 degrees during the night and no heating, and when we told that to the receptionist she just answer us "yes I know, it was the same for me".. We almost didn't sleep because it was too clold. That's bad because everything was really cool, but don't come when there isn't heating because really the isolation is bad and their blanket are too thin... "
- 21 Nov 2015 Juliette France
- " Just a cool place to be. Nearby street car if one wants to go down to French Quarter. Surrounding neighborhood isn't the best so wouldn't recommend walking around at night (which is what we did). The facilities were clean including the twin ensuite that I shared with my friend. They offered cheap food for breakfast and dinner. The staff was friendly and showed us around the area. "
- 13 Nov 2015 Peter USA
- " Terrific location, breakfast for $5, free Wi-Fi, free linens (beds are pre-made in the private rooms), hot water showers, and friendly staff. The only thing I wish is that each room had a bathroom instead of outside/external bathrooms. This is a great hostel! "
- 31 Oct 2015 Anonymous USA

Most of us revel in the freedom to celebrate the Fourth of July by burning snakes, lighting a match to Roman candles and watching the rocket's red glare, munching on hot dogs, fried chicken, and potato salad. The reasons why are pushed to the back of memory. A birthday party, after all, is a birthday party. Nevertheless, in a season when it's the fashion to deconstruct the Founding Fathers, to consider their flaws and not their profundity, it's only charity to pass along illuminating stories that testify to the ways they did what they did to make it possible to change the things that from time to time ought to be changed.
Put aside whether young George Washington actually chopped down his father's favorite cherry tree. (He apparently didn't). But George the man did lead a remarkable group of young men to create an original constitution over four hot months in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787. Silent George sat in a chair (not a throne) and rarely said anything, letting the young men work things out. He imposed one singular rule that probably wouldn't work today. He told them that no scribblers would be allowed to watch the proceedings, because if every item under discussion made its way into the newspapers nothing would be settled. Keep your handwritten notes to yourselves, he warned.
When someone dropped his notes, and they found their way onto George's desk, Mr. Washington asked whether anyone wanted to claim them. No one did. He ran a tight ship with no leaks. That alone was reason enough to make him the first president of the barely united states.
John Adams, who followed him to the first office, stressed the need for a virtuous citizenry. (Talk about something that wouldn't fly today.) "Pure Religion or Austere Morals," he said, will keep the ship of state afloat. Rather than stress individual rights and individualism as the accepted modus vivendi, he preached that the common good depended on a communitarianism, civic participation through community groups. Alexis de Tocqueville saw this idea still rooted in American life when he visited America a half-century later, but such sentiment lives now only in nostalgia. Robert Putnam, author of "Bowling Alone: America's Declining Social Capital," observed only a decade ago that Americans increasingly bowl alone, evidence of the decline of community spirit.

Despite Scott Disick's violent meltdown on last night's episode of Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami, the couple couldn't look more in love while partying in the Hamptons this weekend.
Kourtney and Scott were spied being super affectionate while attending QVC's Style Initiative dinner on Friday night, where they were joined by Kim and Khloe Kardashian as well as Kris Jenner.
But even as Scott admitted to Ryan Seacrest that he's got issues, he doesn't seem to have stopped drinking...
"He had two specialty drinks at the party," a source tells E! News, adding that he wasn't acting crazy.
In fact, Scott and Kourtney seemed to be perfectly happy and even made an early exit from the bash to go take care of baby Mason.
But it's not all reality TV roses. From the sounds of it, the two did split (again) for some time.
In the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians (premiering Aug. 22 on E!), Kourtney briefly moves in with Khloé and Lamar before deciding to move out again after her sister won't let Scott into the house when he comes to visit.
Kourtney admits she had a tough time watching last night's show, when Scott snapped and she took off with Mason and Kim.
"Tonights episode is so hard for me to watch. #KKTM," she posted on her Twitter.
Are you glad to see Kourt getting along again with her baby daddy or is it time for her to leave him for good?
Sound off on Scott and his unique fashion sense in our Scott Disick: Dig Him or Diss Him? gallery!

OCZ has sent us their latest 2.5-inch solid state drive, the Vector 180. This new drive still uses the aging Barefoot 3 controller, but OCZ has teamed it with the latest Toshiba A19nm MLC NAND. This drive is all about reliability and features OCZ's implementation of power loss protection, which they are calling Power Failure Management Plus (PFM+). PFM+ is not full power loss protection, but will protect data-at-rest. So PFM+ will protect data that has been already been written to the NAND. This helps protect the mapping table and reduces the risk of 'bricking' the drive. The 480GB version of the drive that we are reviewing today has sequential read and write speeds of 550 MB/s and 530 MB/s respectively. OCZ also backs this drive with their new ShieldPlus 5-year warranty. Let's take a look!

PCI-Express storage is nothing new, we have seen many different PCI-Express storage options over the past few years. The biggest advantage of using PCI-Express storage is that you overcome the typical 6.0Gb/s theoretical bandwidth limit of SATA-based solid state drives. If you have been following the storage industry you know that solid state drives have been bottlenecked by the SATA interface for years now. Well Kingston is presenting their first ever PCI-Express solid state drive. Part of their high-end HyperX brand the HyperX Predator boasts sequential read and write speeds of 1400 MB/s and 1000 MB/s respectively. That is some serious speed! While many PCI-Express storage devices we have reviewed in the past have featured a custom PCB with the drive on it Kingston has gone the M.2 route. So you can either buy the single M.2 device to use on an M.2 slot or you can buy it pre-installed in a PCI-Express adapter. We received the version with the adapter, let's jump in!

We have not seen a new solid state drive from Patriot in a while. Over the past couple years they sort of took a step back from the SSD industry and focused more on flash memory products and mobile accessories. Well it looks like they are back full a line of solid state drives. Today we will be taking a look at their Ignite drive, which sits at the top of the pack. This drive is powered by the Phison's latest S10 controller and offers sequential read and write speeds of 560 MB/s and 545 MB/s respectively. The Corsair Neutron XT drive, which took home a perfect 10 out of 10 score and our Recommended Award is also based on the same Phison S10 controller so we are expecting good things from the Ignite. Will it perform? Read on as we find out!

PCI-Express solid state drives are fairly new and there are only a handful of these drives available. These devices break the speed barrier on SATA 6GB/s drives by using the PCI-E interface. The most prevalent PCI-E solid state drives our OCZ's RevoDrive series, but OCZ better watch out because the drive we are taking a look at today has a few features that the RevoDrive's do not. The OWC Mercury Accelsior PCI-E Solid State Drive comes in capacities from 120GB to 960GB, is upgradable, and is both PC and Mac "plug and play" compatible. Want to learn more?

Dr. Balling has a long history of conducting research on the climate change issue with a special interest in blending in applications involving Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
Many of Dr. Balling's research projects look at output from numerical climate models that simulate the effects of altering atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. In his work, Balling compares historical climate observations with results predicted by the models for the same time periods. At times, the observations are consistent with expectations from the models, but at other times, they are not. Other recent projects use satellite-based observations to investigate hourly patterns of precipitation.
Dr. Balling has written four books on the climate change issue, he has served as a science consultant to the United Nations, and he was the 2011 ASU Professor of the Year awarded by Order of Omega Greek Honorary Society.

Another Perspective
Amateur Hour
Coming to terms with one's "nauseating puerilia."
Few experiences are more humbling for an author, not to say humiliating, than coming across one's early work. Fortunately, very little of mine exists prior to 1999. What output I had before then appeared in long defunct college literary magazines, or was archived on obsolete floppy discs that have long since been recycled, along with my notebooks, diaries, and all other evidence of a premature writer's life.
Then came the Internet.
At first blush, the Net seemed like a boon and a blessing. Budding Shakespeares could -- in the time it used to take to lick a stamp -- deposit their brilliant submissions in the inboxes of anticipative magazine editors. None of this ten or twelve drafts nonsense. You typed out a rant or a bit of verse, hit send, and you could knock off for the day. Sometimes these slapdash pieces were even published. Online, that is. The more naïve among us took this as vindication of our prodigious talent. It wasn't until decades passed, and our skills and judgment had somewhat matured, that we realized how badly we had misjudged our abilities, to say nothing of the critical faculties of the editors.
In the pre-Internet era, there were countless literary, political or news magazines, most of them of consistently high quality. If a young author published a piece in, say, Three Penny Review or Politics, it meant it was a pretty good effort. Maybe not Pulitzer-Prize worthy, but certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
At the other end of the spectrum were the so-called 'zines, often slapped together by one or two unemployed English majors on the public library's Xerox machine. Few of these publications lasted beyond a year. And, like an old bachelor, when they passed into oblivion, they left no trace of their existence.
Then came the Internet and its myriad third-rate webzines. Today, any dreamer with a Macintosh can start an online magazine, and often does. The only barrier to some enterprising Harold Ross wannabe is the suffering he will have to endure reading thousands of hopeless manuscripts. When I was starting out, I published a lot of dreck on these sites. And a lot of it is still out there, haunting me. (Or should I say taunting me?) Unless the website goes offline for some reason, these stories can remain live for generations, serving as a constant reminder of one's humble, not to say, inept beginnings. I keep praying these sites will become defunct, but for some reason, despite their awfulness, they stubbornly hang on in cyberspace, while much better sites (remember Feed and Suck?) have gone the way of the broadsheet.
TO BE SURE, there are some authors whose early writings are master works of prose, who seem to spring fully formed like Greek demigods on the page. The French poet Arthur Rimbaud was so good out of the gate he stopped writing at 21, no doubt thinking, "Been there, done that," in today's un-Rimbauvian parlance. But we late-bloomers can do little but pray our cruder stuff ends up at the butt-end of any Google search.
It does no good to try to get the stuff removed. I've asked editors to take down some of my more crude early writing, and they inevitably refuse. If they published such dross in the first place, they probably think it is worth preserving. "I still like it," they tend to say. "I think we'll leave it up."
I am reminded of an essay by the cantankerous Edmund Wilson titled "Thoughts on Being Bibliographed." What did Wilson think of the honor? Not much. He would have preferred his trivial early work be left buried and forgotten, not drudged up and placed on display for all posterity. Wrote Wilson:
My scholarly instincts were tempted as well as my literary vanity, and I have ended by scraping up items of nauseating puerilia and insignificant reviews and paragraphs which the Library might never have found for itself and which might better perhaps have been left unidentified…
Late in life, H.L. Mencken had second thoughts about the art of poetry. He decided the form was no medium for grown men. Mencken was so embarrassed by his first book, a collection of poems called Ventures Into Verse, he attempted to buy up (and destroy) all of the copies of the book he could find.
He must have missed one. Today, Ventures Into Verse is available for all to see -- on the Internet, of course. Actually, the poems aren't too bad. Compared to mine, anyway.

Kelly Osbourne got emotional over niece
Posted on Aug 19 2014 | IANS
Los Angeles, Aug 19 : Singer Kelly Osbourne says she cried when her two-year-old niece Pearl told her she loved her.
Pearl - the daughter of her brother Jack and his wife Lisa - called her on the phone for the first time recently.
"She called me and told me that she loved me on the phone for the first time the other day and I burst into tears hearing that little voice going, 'Auntie Kelly, I love you.'," Osbourne told People magazine.
"I had tears just roll down my face."
She is convinced Pearl is the "most incredible" child she has ever seen.
Osbourne said: "She is just the most incredible, incredible little bundle of joy and the most beautiful - she's so funny.
"I'm not just saying that because she's my niece. Even other people are like, 'I have a kid, but that kid's real cute.'"
The 29-year-old recently came in third place in a poll to find the auntie of the year.

Around Myrtle Beach, SC there are in excess of 100 golf courses. I see their rotors wetting the greens at night (3:00AM or so). I've been told that watering at night increases fungus (?) but it does allow the water to penetrate the turf and not be evaporated quickly as during the early morning. I'm still debating that one.
So in the end, watering often and long may be a practice for those with shallow wells. Watering deep and less often in sandy soils knowing that the water is not going to be there in a few hours tells me that the turf roots did not get a chance to take in moisture versus, watering deep and often to allow the roots to take in moisture and leaching available nutrients is a dilemma. To have a beautiful lawn is costly on the coast....so I pay a few dollars for a little extra fertilize about every 6 weeks on Centipede grass which likes poor soil anyway. On the St. Augustine, I fertilize lightly with 15-0-15 every 4 weeks in the summer until August.
Now for the biggest problem--Those no grass hurricane ditches????????No water, No SOM, pure sand, too much sun....Bermuda grass or even crab grass???
We all are merely gleaners from the masters who were here before us.
I agree that on Coastal sandy we have a harder time than those on good hard pan developing good turf. Golf Courses are a totally different story in the fact they have the Big Budget and mow very short. The very fact that Golf Courses Mow so short creates many problems. Someone on here was very upset when I posted my price per Thousand price, But they have no Idea of my cost Per thousand cost on Calcareous Sandy Soil either.
My Irrigation recommendation for Sandy soil is every 5 days. I like to water deep and hope the roots grow down to make more use of the water. But the true way to determine water need is by watching the Leaves to see when they need water. As the plant drys out the Leaf closes, By watching the leaf close you soon see when it is perfect time to water again.
it is one thing to do a off label applications. It is total stupidity to post it on the world wide web and expect people to approve.
You can lead a Donkey to water but you can't make the Jackass Drink
My People Skills are Fine. It is my Idiot Tolerance Skills That needs Work.
Here in Central Texas, and the Austin area that Hess operates in we are subject to both voluntary and mandatory watering restrictions.
What I have found to be the best way to encourage acceptable turf growth on predominately clay based soils is to aggressively aerify twice per year.
Followed up with a heavy top dressing of sand then proper fertilization according to a decent soil/tissue test.
Typically, due to water availability (which thankfully hasn't been a problem THIS year) and the restrictions based upon what environmental recharge zone our properties are in, irrigation is limited to approximately twice per work week.
Nice Try = You Suck Spelled Differently
Firm believer in watering deeply but infrequently!
wait until the turfgrass is beginning to show stress, then water until the soil is wet to the depth of grass plant's roots, but don't apply more water per hour than the soil can absorb

^And yet another speaks who is DEFINITELY not to be undermined nor underestimated....^(Thanks, Tim) ...Again,...one of those who has probably forGOT more than I even know!
I'm sorry, but coming on this site and asking questions about turf (and related subjects), and being answered by these guys is equated to going on a site like web MD and being answered personally by a physician. This is not to take away from those with doctorate degrees, but it is the truth.
Thank you, Dad - for always being the dad that you were. You truly are my hero. You always were.
Since you know golf courses. What is the theory of water at night vs. early morning? Any truth to fungus development when watering at night?
We all are merely gleaners from the masters who were here before us.
Great to see you posting again. I am Look forward to getting into some interesting discussions again.
In most cases Golf Course have so many zones to run each night they must start early. It is more of a practical thing than wise Agronomy move.
it is one thing to do a off label applications. It is total stupidity to post it on the world wide web and expect people to approve.
You can lead a Donkey to water but you can't make the Jackass Drink
My People Skills are Fine. It is my Idiot Tolerance Skills That needs Work.
The 'latest' research that I have seen is to water during the 'dew hours' when the leaves are already wet. What are your practical observations and experiences? While this does make sense, I would be interested in your opinions.
Joe, when I ran a golf course in NE Pa several years past - I would "whip" the greens in front of a mower, and water just the greens during the day.
The outlying turf was not subject to the intensive maintenance program the greens were subject too so I was able to avoid problems with this strategy.
The idea of watering during the "dew" hours stems from the observation/hypothesis if you "wash" the guttated fluids which comprises the exudates from C3 turf, you are diluting these exudates to the point that they will not support/enable the ever present pathogens due to the high carbon content associated with these exudates.
Several factors have to be aligned for a program like this to bear fruition.
Namely the areas irrigated absolutely have to be free from permeability issues, typically have to located in areas of air movement beyond 4 cubic yards per second ( basically a wisp of a breeze) and have to be free of excessive soluble nitrogen applications which will supplant the guttated fluids as an energy source for the pathogens.
What I have found to be the most "safe" as far as turf conditions verse labor has been to lightly water, aka "syringe" the greens 3 to 4 days out of the week, regardless if they are C3 or C4 turfgrass, then irrigate up to 1/2", whip then mow.
I have found an amazing correlation of maintenance practices of most varietal types of Agrostis spp putting greens and the newer Ultra-dwarf Cynodon spp.
Nice Try = You Suck Spelled Differently
I am just going to throw this out there and see if someone wants to better explain it.
According to some agronomists, raising Mg saturation levels in sandy soil will help maintain moisture in the soil. Israel did several studies in the 90's that suggested that magnesium has the ability to actually attract moisture, even pulling moisture from the air. I dont have a copy of that study, wish I did. Anyways, it would seem that manageing fertility levels would also help to manage water use. Comments please.
