Fletcher PD hires new sergeant, detective
Published: Monday, October 13, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 12, 2008 at 8:21 p.m.
The Fletcher Police Department is coming together.
With promotions and two new hires, the department is almost completely staffed and is working to make its core of officers even better.
Former Henderson County Sheriff George Erwin, who was contracted by the town of Fletcher, and former Sheriff Eddie Watkins have been overseeing the department and making suggestions for improvement as the town develops a formal selection process to choose a permanent police chief.
We still have one police officer position open, Erwin said. We are also still in the process of identifying issues. One of those issues I wanted to tackle was getting a strong management team.
Some of the issues that Erwin and the department have already identified and solved was ordering new ballistic vests, updating police vehicles and getting fingerprinting kits for the patrol cars.
We have identified a number of other issues that we still need to address, Erwin said. There are some concerns about the departments communication systems. The department is also looking at training. All of the officers dont have their basic training.
Erwin said he is adamant about implementing leadership, accountability and responsibility in every officer at the department.
I am excited about this new management team, he said. Fletcher will be in great hands with a new chief and this new management team.
Erwin also announced the department has hired Erik Summey as a detective and Mike Hendrix as a sergeant, and has promoted Johnny Shuford to sergeant.
It is a positive thing to get officers of Erik and Mikes caliber to come here to the Fletcher Police Department, Erwin said.
Erik Summey
In addition to taking the detectives position, Summey has also put his name in the hat for chief.
He graduated from Hendersonville High School in 1986 and worked odd jobs before he had an opportunity to take basic law enforcement training at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College.
After I completed my law enforcement training, I joined the Henderson County Sheriffs Office, Summey said. In 1989 I started as a patrol deputy. After a little over two years on patrol, I worked on a team similar to SWAT with the sheriffs office.
From 1993 to 1997, Summey worked drug investigations. In 1997, he was promoted to lieutenant and headed up the sheriffs office drug unit until 2003.
From 2003 until 2006 I worked major cases, he said.
In 2006, Summey also earned his criminal justice degree. The he made a decision to take a position with the Buncombe County Sheriffs Office and was assigned to the anti-crime task force.
Summey has graduated from the FBI National Academy, the management development program and DEA Commanders Academy. He has earned his advanced law enforcement certification and is a North Carolina Certified Law Enforcement Instructor.
He said he heard about positions open at the Fletcher Police Department after he checked out the towns Web site.
I saw they had an opening for a detective and I applied for the position, he said. Fletcher has grown so much since I have been in law enforcement. I feel fortunate that with my experience I will be able to help the department grow.
Mike Hendrix
Hendrix grew up in Gastonia and moved to Henderson County in 1992.
I moved here with my job with Public Service Gas Company, he said.
In 1995, he followed his dream of going into law enforcement and enrolled in basic law enforcement training.
It was something I have always wanted to do, he said.
After he graduated, Hendrix joined the Hendersonville Police Department.
I started as a patrol officer and through the years worked as a school resource officer, became a master police officer supervisor and then was promoted to lieutenant, he said.
Hendrix decided to take a break from law enforcement and became the director of Arc Angel, a medical transport system.
I took the job with Arc Angel because of the better hours, and I needed a break, he said.
Hendrix decided to come to the Fletcher Police Department because he felt like the department was starting over.
This is a great experience to be in on the ground floor and have some input, he said.
Hendrix is an advanced law enforcement instructor, certified in community policing and trained in crisis negotiating, and is a practicing member of the International Society of Crime Prevention.

Indian expats still fuming over Gold tax
The Gulf has a large population of Indian expats but when they return to India on vacation they are faced with something they shouldn't have to pay
July 31, 2012 11:18 by kippreport
Considering the enormous population of Indian expatriates residing in Dubai and all over the gulf, a rule that was re-enacted in April continues to frustrate many as they return back to India on their Summer break; only to be stumped at the airport.
The Indian community is the largest nationality of expatriates residing in Dubai and many are in fumes about having to pay a tax for their jewellery.
The Gold Duty Tax may well be affecting the 1.3 million Indian nationals living in the Middle Eastern city and other parts of the region and they are trying their utmost to exterminate it. The large population that works in the UAE may have to risk leaving their jewellery behind or with Dubai Airport officials or face paying the tax in India.
The Gold Duty is not a tax imposed when buying gold nor will it necessarily affect those with lavishly expensive jewellery but rather it would mean that those traveling would have to pay a tax on their wedding rings or any other jewellery they may be carrying.
Women, under the currently imposed standards, are allowed gold valued no more than AED1,331 (20,000 rupees) while men are allowed no more than 10,000 rupees.
This usually equals out to six to seven grams for women and three to four for men but according to Vayalar Ravi, the overseas affairs minister, an average Indian woman wears at least 25-30 grams of jewellery and that they should be allowed 200 grams.
A sign is in place at International airports, yet the rule goes unheard by many travelers. Some have chosen to leave their jewellery behind with airport officials in hopes that they would keep it safe; all this to avoid paying a large fee that they feel is unjustified.
Many are in high hopes that the law will soon be changed particularly since many appealed to the prime minister after which he subsequently assured them that the decision would be held for reconsideration.
He also added, to the glee of many, that the Finance Ministry would be given direction to abolish the current rule in favor of a system based on quantity instead of the price of gold.
Indian Nationals will continue to pressurize the government to change this rule and while an assurance from the PM is a ray of hope to some, others wait for an official notice to be announced.

I wouldn't mind paying tax. But I would mind if all the money I pay is going to waste. All the duty payments airports ask for mainly just for the airport staffs own enjoyment.

Passion Pit, with Mister Heavenly

The Moore
Tuesday, Nov. 30
In advance of new Sub Pop band Mister Heavenly's first show last night at The Moore (opening for Passion Pit), there was no way of really knowing what to expect. That's not to say excitement levels weren't high, however - it was known the group includes Honus Honus of Man Man, Nick Thorburn of Islands and Modest Mouse drummer Joe Plummer.
Well, it's safe to say no one really expected to see who was on bass: actor Michael Cera, who showed off his musical skills in this year's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. The funnyman had cell phone cameras on him during the entire 30-minute set, of which about half of Passion Pit's eventual audience enjoyed. His awkward, typecast humor even came through during one song when Cera lost the strap of his white teardrop bass, finished the song, asked the jubilant hipsters if they liked the Barenaked Ladies and proceeded to start "One Week" before Mister Heavenly quickly launched into another original tune. And the humor didn't end there, with Thorburn announcing the band hailed from Spokane, then Tacoma and eventually Snoqualmie County.
As for the rest of Mister Heavenly's debut set, it sounded a lot like the mash-up of Man Man and Unicorns that Honus Honus described to Spinner. Both Honus Honus (on keyboards) and Thorburn took confident turns at vocals, while each song delivered a nice bite that filled The Moore better than most new bands could hope for. Best of all was the closer, a two-minute romp that, at its conclusion, saw Honus Honus and Thorburn abruptly walk off stage, leaving a grinning Cera to take in some more screams from the star-struck crowd.
Conversely, the night's headliners, Passion Pit, were everything you'd expect - bubbly anthems, bright lights, frontman Michael Angelakos' voice dropping about eight octaves when he spoke to the impressive Tuesday night crowd and an encore that saved their most overrated song, "Sleepyhead," for last. It was Passion Pit by-the-numbers, which turns out to be an excellent live show, and Angelakos promised to return with a new album in the near future.
But for everyone who showed up early and witnessed Mister Heavenly's first show, it will forever be remembered as The Night Michael Cera Played Bass Before Passion Pit.
Random Notebook Dump: Passion Pit's cover of The Cranberries' 1993 hit "Dreams" fit Angelakos' falsetto vocals perfectly and had The Moore in sing-along mode.

Man sentenced in four vehicle deaths returns to Vt court
NEWPORT A driver convicted of being responsible for the 1998 deaths of four teenagers is asking a judge to reconsider the sentence imposed for his third probation violation.
Gregory Twofoot, 34, was sentenced to five to 15 years in prison on four counts of gross negligent operation of a motor vehicle, fatality resulting.
The Caledonian Record reported a judge ordered him to serve the remainder of his minimum sentence, estimated at 18 months. Now the judge has to decide whether the time frame for a sentence reconsideration has long passed.
Twofoot was driving a vehicle that overturned on Interstate 91 and landed in Cobb Brook, near Newport. Four people died; one passenger survived.
Twofoot is accused of violating conditions by taking drugs and drinking alcohol.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new eminent domain hearing will be held at a special City Council meeting today at...

Rated 5 out of 5 by mismoe eilen fisher linen Bought these fab sheets on sale. Love the coloring, subtle but a little punch with the stripe. So very cozy and soft and I love the fringed edge. Linen is expensive, glad I caught the sale but worth it even at full price. Once you sleep on linen you never want to sleep on anything else. April 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by vince cloud like Beautiful material, lovely feel, pleasing to the eye. The bedding brings much enjoyment to the onslaught of spring and the putting away of the flannels. I expect them to be as comfortable through summer. For price I wish they were made in US! Quality, time will tell. April 7, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DesertLover LOVE EF Washed Linen Bedding Received the Eileen Fisher Ombré Striped Linen bedding and absolutely LOVE everything about it. Ordered the entire bedding ensemble and it is like heaven sleeping in between these linen sheets!!! The fitted sheet fits perfect and the flat sheet is ample size to cover bed and extend down the sides. I would definitely recommend these sheets and pillow cases. These are the first set of sheets that my husband has commented on and we both love them. They wash very nice and I line dry and the wrinkles just fall out! We are so happy with this purchase!! March 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by ronyie Light and Airy These sheets are light and airy, yet do not feel thin or cheap. I wish I had purchased them in the other colorway also. However, I like them so much I may purchase two sets of the same color. My only complaint is that the unfinished hem on the top sheet has been unraveling. It is not a problem as of yet however, if it continues, I may contact customer service about it. All in all a lovely set of linen sheets...perfect for year-round comfort in Florida! March 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by RebaBun Best Quality--My Only Bedding Other companies and designers have attempted to create high quality washed linen bedding but after over a decade of buying (and sleeping on the evidence), I am sold on Eileen Fisher's Washed Linen Bedding, sold exclusively at one of my very favorite shops, Garnet Hill. These sheets are both light and substantial, soft and airy, warm and cool. They feel amazing on my skin during any kind of weather. I can't imagine a good night's sleep without them. March 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by JoyMD Worth the splurge This is the second pair of Eileen Fisher washed linen sheets that I've purchased and still no regrets!! I'm really particular about my bed and these sheets are consistently worth the splurge. It helps that I got them on sale too! February 17, 2016

What do these sheets feel like compared with Egyptian cotton or supima fibers? I assume linen is quite coarse though no one mentioned it in the reviews.
I like soft cotton sheets and am afraid to buy these because I don't imagine they're comfortable on skin, but no one else noted this problem. Is the weave very coarse? Please help because I'll purchase them if they feel as soft as cotton.

Answer:While the linen sheets are a bit more coarse than a Supima or sateen sheet, they do have a very nice hand and soften with each washing.

A collection of poems and photos revolving around a trip to Kuta and Ubud in Bali, Indonesia. The poems focus on a reflection of how the Balinese weave their traditional identities within the potentially atrophying rush of the modern world, by looking at this idyllic island through the eyes of different people and places.

East Bay celebrations honor Our Lady of Guadalupe
Posted by producers on 12/12/2012 9:28pm PDT tags: photo
Masses, a procession and other events honored Our Lady of Guadalupe in Oakland, Hayward and Concord. At Saint Elizabeth Catholic Church in Oakland, parishioners brought flowers to her altar and blessed their Catholic icons on Wednesday, Dec. 12. Traditional Mexican dances were performed and children dressed in indigenous outfits representing Juan Diego, who was the messenger to build a church in her honor. Moreau High School in Hayward also celebrated Mass with a rose procession and Aztec dancers. On Sunday, a hundreds joined in a procession honored the Virgin of Guadalupe. It ended at St. Francis of Assisi Church.
Millions of Catholics around the globe celebrate the apparition of Our of Lady of Guadalupe on the tilma, or cloak, of Juan Diego in 1531 in Mexico City's hill of El Tepeyac. During her fourth apparition to Juan Diego, he was told to cut roses from the same hill, carry them on his tilma and bring them to the head of the Church in Mexico, Bishop Juan de Zumárraga. Juan Diego followed her request and at the time he met the bishop, the flowers fell from Juan Diego's tilma as miraculously the image of the virgin appeared on it. The tilma is displayed within the Basilica de Guadalupe, the church built per her request where millions of pilgrims take part in processions all year long.

I get the song stuck in my head all the time and singing "Show me yer genitals, yer genitals..." isn't necessarily the most appropriate thing. So, I personally thank you--I will be singing about genitals until at least Friday afternoon.

"Saying Rossi is like Copperfield was meant to be a compliment... I wish both Rossi and Lorenzo good luck" - Max Biaggi.
Well gang it looks like I may have blundered, when i said that " Max sees the world through all seeing eyes' Max saw the similarities between David Copperfield and Valentino Rossi (everybody thinks Max is referring to Copperfield as a Magician". In fact David Copperfield is an Illusionist. What about Valentino Rossi, being compared to the late Freddie Mercury? Freddie did a pretty good cover of the Platters 1955 hit record THE GREAT PRETENDER...Max might need his vision checked. Even the lyrics are appropriate,check them out.
Sorry, that should say..."it is preposterous to believe Stoners input WASN'T far more significant than ANY other riders before or since." I can't make it simpler than that and I believe my original comment was no more confusing. There are very few points to the statement but each is backed up with reasonable explanation, if you don't agree, try opening your other eye.
Realist, stand by your name and get real. If you want to argue ANY points I've made, that's fine but you're going on about something that was never said. The fact is Ducati built the panigale using data gathered from their carbon mono motoGP bike using input gathered from their riders. As one of the very few riders that will push the envelope at every opportunity, it is preposterous to believe Stoners input was far more significant than ANY other riders before or since.
@ Slide RulesWe're not taking issue with a manufacturer using data for a revolutionary change, but you made a statement that suggested Stoner was responsible for the monocoque, and he wasn't. The trellis was being phased out due to inconsistency. It would have happened with or without Stoner.
Of course he didn't design the mono frame but to think duc produced the new road bike without input from the carbon mono bike, then you're dreaming.Likewise, if Stoner wasn't able to achieve multiple wins/poles/fastest laps, do you think they would have bothered? Maybe you think they should have used Haydens/Melandris/Capirossi's developmental genius?As it was the release of the bike was delayed because of the poor performance of Rossi over the last two years!So Yeah, Stoner 'derived' is certainly a quantifiable comment.Talk about semantics, Crikey!
@ Slide RulesNow you're back-pedaling and playing the semantics game. "Stoner derived" and "Stoner designed" mean just about the same thing in way that you implied in your statement.
No one said Casey Stoner 'designed' the monocoque chassis.

Well…not ALL counties! Where's Hawai`i and Alaska?
Is it possible in Step 2 to see totals for a whole state?
Todd Drew
I'd remove all the brackets for the percent change figures as it looks like they are all decreases unless you note the small minus sign in the cases where there is a real decline. Convention is that brackets mean declines…

Despite adding 2,200 jobs in January, Colorado's unemployment rate hit a record level, even surpassing the national average.
The Colorado unemployment rate increased from a revised 8.9 in December percent to 9.1 percent in January. The national unemployment rate dropped from 9.4 percent to 9 percent over the same period.
It's the highest unemployment rate since the 8.8 percent recorded in January 1983.
"We haven't achieved balance between number of people looking for work and the number of jobs available for them," said Bill Thoennes, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

She was expecting her first great-great-grandchild in July.
She is also survived by brothers, Carl and Carol Banks of Florida, and Tony (Kathy) Banks of Arizona; a sister, Estelle Scheidt of Columbus, IN; and many, many nieces and nephews.
Ruby was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Harlan Banks and Paul Brashears; sisters, Inez Hogg and Bessie Amburgy; and a daughter-in-law, Mary Banks.

This review is from: C2G Model 40449 12 ft. Value Series Composite Video + Stereo Audio Cable M-M
Pros: 12 ft length . Connectors fit good and tight and hold. Highly recommend this product.
Cons: NONE
Other Thoughts: Even tho 8ft (not available) would have been better it was no problem 'bundling' the extra 4 ft to hide inside an antique old Refrigerator cabinet with cords going thru drain hole in middle of bottom to out back and up to a TV.

This review is from: C2G Model 40449 12 ft. Value Series Composite Video + Stereo Audio Cable M-M
Pros: This cable works great -- does what it's supposed to, and didn't cost too much. Video cable is thicker than audio cables, like it should be.
Cons: Audio cables are pretty skinny. Might not reject interference as well as some other cables, but what do you expect for such a low price?
Other Thoughts: Great cable. Zero complaints!

Seven years ago, writer-director John Carney's musical drama Once became an indie hit as it explored the lives of two musicians and the emotional impact of creating music together. Carney's latest, Begin Again, explored similar themes, as evidenced by it debuting last fall at the Toronto International Film Festival under its original title Can a Song Save Your Life?.
"Many of the big decisions of my life were made with the record playing," Carney told THR last September, days after the movie screened. "What I would like to see people come away with for this film is music is integral to the way we communicate and the way we make decisions."
Like Once, Begin Again focuses on a music-making couple, this time played by Keira Knightley and Adam Levine, who move to New York as a songwriting team but soon break up. Knightley's Gretta is left to pick up the pieces on her own until she meets up with a down-on-his-luck music producer (Mark Ruffalo) who wants to produce her music. Instead of exploring the intimacy of making music, Begin Again, as its new title suggests, is about whether both can find retribution, and the newly-released trailer infuses that journey with humor, most memorably with a Jerry Maguire reference and Cee-Lo Green's cameo.

The Bluffing Resumes: Greece Warns Will Leave Eurozone If Second Bailout Not SecuredSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2012 09:12 -0400
First Morgan Stanley issued the first market forecast of 2012 before the market has even opened, and now it is Greece's turn to threaten fire and brimstone (aka to leave the Eurozone, but according to UBS and everyone else in the status quo the two are synonymous) within hours of the New Year, if the second bailout, which as far as we recall was arranged back in July 2011, is not secured. Quote the BBC: ""The bailout agreement needs to be signed otherwise we will be out of the markets, out of the euro," spokesman Pantelis Kapsis told Skai TV." And cue several million furious Germans and tomorrow's German newspaper headlines telling Greece bon voyage on its own as it commences braving the treacherous waters of hyperinflation. In other news, the sequel to Catch 22 is in the works, and explains how Greek tax collectors (i.e., people who collect those all important taxes so very needed for government revenues) continues to strike. In it we also learn that the first strike of the year in Athens is already in place, with Greek doctors saying they will treat only emergency cases until Thursday, in protest at changes to healthcare provision. All in all, the complete collapse of the Greek debt slave society is proceeding just as planned.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Maoz Vegetarian - Old Compton
by camerongreen
Review: Maoz falafel is a chain across Europe which I've also eaten at a number of times in Amsterdam. I've never had a bad falafel, and for some reason they've tasted particularly good in Amsterdam ;) You order a falafel with bread, either white or wholemeal, they put it in a pita pocket with some lettuce, and then you can put as much of the great salad ingredients they have you can pile on top. They also have a range of sauces, my tip is put some sauces on the falafel before the other ingredients. The salads are always fresh, the falafel is cooked there in front of you (the number one sign of a decent falafel shop in my experience) and it's usually pretty quick as well. Great place to take non veggies after a couple of pints in Soho, after all who doesn't like great falafel?

How can I keep my pregnancy under wraps until after my first trimester?
We want to wait until after the first trimester to tell our family and friends we're expecting, but people keep asking if I'm pregnant! (I'm currently five weeks along.) How do I put off their questions without being too harsh or revealing our secret?

I just found out I was pregnant last night with an at home pregnancy test. Luckily I already had a regular obgyn appointment for April 1st, so I?ll find out for sure. I am only about 4 weeks, so I only told my boyfriend, two best friends, and my sister. I will tell my mother down the road because she panics and I don?t want any other stress right now. I am sure she?ll be happy and everyone else when I decide to tell them. I just want to wait awhile because anything can happen and I don't want to get everyone excited just yet.posted 03/15/2006 by iamnstyle
I have had 2 pg thus far, the first resulting in a m/c @ 8 weeks and the second was an ectopic that required emergency surgery. So, I have been very, very strict about postponing announcement, and the plan is to wait until after I reach the first trimester. Friends have been very, very nosy lately. Noticing a change in me socially, for example, no longer drinking wine when we go out for group dinners. They have also noticed my husband been unusually attentive to me, like asking me how I'm feeling (b/c the morning sickness has been awful). They have all been very nice about it, and the best I have been able to do is to play along and joke with them, but not answer them directly. It's really hard b/c things have been going very well with this pg and we are very excited, and can't wait to announce. I think most of our friends and family ask, b/c they are anxious for us, too b/c everyone knows about the first two pg. If you really want to wait to announce, stick to your guns until YOU feel comfortable about announcing. Otherwise, try and just give your friends and family a hard time when they ask...and keep 'em guessing!posted 03/07/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I just found out that we are pregnant with our first!!! We are almost 5 weeks and we wanted to keep quiet, but being excited we told close friends and family. I am now regretting telling as many people as we did. Just wondering if I should have kept quiet a little longer??posted 01/03/2006 by amberdru
I hide my first pregnancy from the people I worked with until the 3rd month. I wore baggier clothing and avoided the lunch room if I was feeling queesy(sp?) It didn't work though, Everyone knew before I did that I was pregnant! I am pregnant again(8 weeks) and I do not plan on telling anyone at work until my 12th week. When co-workers ask I will say what I said before "if my husband had his way...." that way you are not lying and not telling them either. When you do eventually let people know, they are generally very understanding and get a good laugh out of it.posted 01/02/2006 by crobidoux
I was 8 weeks when I miscarried. We told immediate family at first but we had other medical testing to be done and didn't want more than family to know. I'm 6wks pregnant and as hard as it is, my husband and I aren't telling anyone until after we have an amnio for other testing reasons.. Good Luckposted 01/01/2006 by Victory911
We are 5 weeks pregnant with #2, we have a 16month old. We want to tell everyone at christmas but we are worried its too early. Our thoughts are that everyone on both sides of family willbe there so we can tell them in person. Also we are going to a wedding not long after and a new years eve party..... How am i going to explain why im not drinking???? Anyone got any suggestionsposted 12/20/2005 by Lilysmum2
I am 5 weeks pregnant with our second child. I told everyone the day we found out! We have been trying for over a year and had some medical "assistance" in getting to this point so it is an absolute blessing! Our 2 year old told our parents that he is going to be a big brother!! My theory - if something happens (please God NO!) everyone will know so let's celebrate this baby for the blessing it is!!! My problem now is I still have 6 weeks of probationary period at my new work and there is NO way my belly will keep this secret!!! Because of the injections and steroids I was on to get this baby my jeans that fit last week will not fasten up today!!! AHAHAHRG!!! Too early!posted 12/14/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I had no intention of telling my employer about my pregnancy until my second trimester. But my manager figured it out when I was sick every morning, and eating only crackers. And at our staff Christmas party, when I was drinking non-alcoholic drinks, my other boss's wife asked if I was pregnant because I wasn't drinking! So much for keeping things under wraps...posted 12/05/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband and I are also dealing with this currently. I am 5 weeks pg and have only told family and close friends...the people that I would want supporting my husband and I if anything happened anyway. I am waiting until 16 weeks to tell my work/boss. This is our first, and we are so excited but cautious at the same time, so we felt that this was a good compromise. Hope this helps.posted 11/15/2005 by mherren4
I am a nurse working for a new and growing company. When I told one or my coworker I was pregnant she adviced me not to tell for fear I would loss my job.

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Today Samsung has lifted the review embargo on their new Portable SSD T1. This represents Samsung's first portable SSD, and aims to serve as another way to make their super speedy VNAND available. We first saw the Samsung T1 at CES, and I've been evaluating the performance if this little drive for the past week:
We'll dive more into the details as this review progresses.
The T1 comes well packaged, with a small instruction manual and a flat style short USB 3.0 cable. The drive itself is very light - ours weighed in right at 1 ounce.

Upgrade your car with an SSD?

If you have an entertainment system in your car, why not go whole hog and upgrade it with a specially designed Super Talent DuraDrive AT7 SSD. Unfortunately you will be hard pressed to find one as they will generally be sold directly to the auto manufacturers but The SSD Review's look at it is interesting because it is the first look at Silicon Motion's new SM2246EN 6Gbps 4 channel controller. The ATTO results when connected to an X99 motherboard were impressive, peaking at 554MB/s read and 446MB/s write. It will be interesting to see which manufacturers install this in their vehicles and what usage scenarios would require this kind of throughput.
"Every now and then, we are fortunate to have SSDs reach our bench that one might not normally find within every day PC systems or servers. Our review today of the Super Talent DuraDrive AT7 SSD is just that; a SSD fully intended for the automobile industry, and more specifically In-vehicle Infotainment Systems."

Tagged: ocz, torture, ARC 100
The Tech Report has already shown a variety of SSDs can survive long after their write life cycle has been exceeded and that some drives can continue past 2 petabytes. Kitguru is performing a very similar test, specifically with OCZ Arc 100 SSD and have now passed the 100TB mark with the five drives they are testing. Not a single one of these consumer level drives have died and only one of the drives has reported an error and that was one single bad block. While they have had problems with a specific controller in the past, they no longer use that controller and claims that all of their drives are tarnished is a bit of an exaggeration. A specific performance was also finally addressed, but they are certainly not the only manufacturer that has needed to be called out to address performance degradation over time. You can see the current results here.
"The drives all passed the warranty figure of 22TB at the close of December – our next test was to get them all past the 100TB mark. Would any fail?"

CES 2015: Crucial launches new MX200, BX100 SSDs, intros Storage Executive
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2015 - 03:21 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: Storage Executive, SM2246EN, MX200, Dynamic Write Acceleration, DWA, crucial, CES 2014, CES, BX100
At CES, I took a trip to the LVCC to be briefed us on a pair of new Crucial SSD models:
The new MX200 is an evolution of the previous MX100 line, with the most notable addition being Dynamic Write Acceleration. DWA can flip dies between SLC and MLC mode on-the-fly, and is detailed in our previous write-up of the Crucial M600 SSD. While the performance was a bit inconsistent in our M600 review, there have likely been improvements if Crucial is putting this feature into their mainstream consumer line. Also interesting is how Crucial intends to package this product in mSATA and M.2 form factors - these have historically been reserved for their higher end M550 line and were not available in the MX100.
Another addition is the BX100. For this drive, Crucial has decided on the Silicon Motion 2246EN, which should be able to let them get the costs lower than what is possible with the Marvell controller. As a budget targeted model, this one will only be available in the 2.5" SATA form factor. Below are the briefed specs from these two products;
Another addition is a software solution dubbed 'Crucial Storage Executive'. This is basically their 'Toolbox' solution and handles reporting of S.M.A.R.T. data as well as firmware updates. Crucial has chosen to go the unique route of configuring this tool as a background service that is accessed through a web browser on the host system (most competing solutions are a standalone application).
The best part of this launch is the pricing. Crucial SSDs have always been highly cost competitive, but look at that launch pricing on the BX100:
That's $0.40/GB for what looks to be a very decent SSD. These two models are set to ship Q1 2015, so we'll likely see them within the next month or so.
The full press blast for these pair of SSD releases appears after the break.

CES 2015: OCZ shows off new JetExpress SSD controller, Vector 180, Z-Drive 6000

Tagged: Z-Drive 6000, Vector 180, ssd, SFF-8639, sata, pcie, ocz, NVMe, M.2, JetExpress, CES 2014, CES
At CES, we stopped by OCZ and were briefed on their new SSD controller, the JetExpress:
As indicated on the placard, the JetExpress supports M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 (M.2 is typically PCIe 2.0), and natively supports both SATA and PCIe / NVMe connectivity.
I found out some more goodies about this new controller. Aside from being configurable during production to support SATA or PCIe, this is actually a 10 channel controller (SSDs are typically limited to 8 channels). The controller can support LDPC *in addition to* BCH error correction. This is important as LDPC requires more compute power and is slower than BCH, so OCZ is baking in the capability to use BCH early on, and transition over to LDPC as the flash wears to the point where BCH can no longer efficiently correct bad pages. This means the JetExpress should be able to maintain very high performance while extending flash life out with LDPC only when it's needed.
Above is the Vector 180, which is launching soon. We are under NDA on this product, but nothing is stopping you from checking out the pic of what they had displayed above :).
Here's the Z-Drive 6000, an SFF-8639 (PCIe 3.0 x4) 2.5" enterprise SSD. The PMC Sierra controller supports NVMe connectivity and power modes are switchable to enable even higher performance. Performance looks to be very competitive with the Intel P3700, rated at 3GB/sec reads and 2GB/sec writes, as well as 700,000 4k random read and 175,000 4k random write IOPS. Our next OCZ review should be of the Vector 180, but samples are not out yet, so stay tuned!

CES 2015: Plextor announces M7e

Tagged: plextor, pcie, NVMe, Marvell 88SS9293, M7e, M6e Black, M.2, CES 2014, CES
Today Plextor announced the successor to the M6e (that we reviewed here) - the M7e:
The M7e uses the same Marvell 88SS9293 that will be in Kingston's Hyperx Predator, and the performance is certainly impressive:
1.4GB/sec reads and 1.0GB/sec writes. Plextor's demo compared to an identical testbed running a Samsung XP941, and the M7e was faster in nearly every performance trait.
Next up is a bit of a gorgeous refresh to the M6e - the M6e Black Edition:
The above photo was taken HDR, so the Black Edition appears darker than in the above photo. This is basically a repackaging of the M6e, in a housing that should run much cooler. Plextor got a bit creative designing this one, and they even added a SATA power connector - an option for those who feel their motherboard may not be providing sufficient power over the PCIe connector. Here's an exploded diagram for your viewing pleasure:
Plextor also announced an update to their DRAM caching solution, dubbed PlexTurbo 2.0:
Cached speeds were certainly impressive here, showing a roughly 2x improvement over the initial release of their software.
The M7e does not launch until mid-2015, but the M6e Black Edition will be coming *much* sooner, and we will have a review of the latter up within the next few days.
Press blast for the M7e after the break.

CES 2015: Silicon Motion SM2256 seen in action, capable of hybrid TLC/SLC caching
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2015 - 01:17 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: CES, ces 2015, silicon motion, SM2256, ssd, tlc, slc
We first saw the Silicon Motion SM2256 controller at Flash Memory Summit, but now we've seen it live, in action, and driving several different types of TLC NAND.
Silicon Motion had this live demo running on a testbed at their suite:
The performance looked very good considering the 2256 is designed to efficiently push TLC flash, which is slower than MLC. As their representative was explaining that the SM2256 is currently being tested with Samsung, Toshiba, and SK Hynix TLC flash, I noticed the HDTune write trace:
Those familiar with HDTune and Samsung SSDs with Samsung's TurboWrite cache (from the 840/850 EVO) will recognize the above - the SSD begins writing at SLC speed and after that cache is full, the SSD then drops to writing at TLC speed. I specifically asked about this, as we've only Samsung flash provisioned with an SLC portion of each die, and the answer was that Toshiba and SK Hynix TLC flash also supports such a subdivision. This is good news, as it means increased competition from competing SSDs that can accomplish the same SLC burst writes as the Samsung EVO series.
We heard from a few vendors that will soon be launching SM2256 equipped SSDs this year, and we eagerly await the opportunity to see what they are capable of.

CES 2015: Mushkin launches Striker SSD, teases 4TB consumer PCIe, new M.2 and SandForce SSDs
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2015 - 01:00 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: Striker, ssd, Mushkin, ces 2015, CES
At CES 2015, Mushkin launches their Striker 2.5" SSD product line:
The Striker is based on the Phison S10 controller, which should perform comparably to the Neutron XT that we reviewed back in November. We should point out that in the above photo, the Striker is sitting next to the Reactor, which is currently selling for $0.36/GB on Newegg.
This is a prototype of looks is to be a monster of a budget PCIe SSD. Using a Marvell SATA RAID chip to link four Silicon Motion controlled SSDs together in RAID-0, this beast is to (hopefully) be available in 960GB all the way up to 4TB capacities, and Mushkin is targeting $0.50/GB or lower when it launches later this year.
Details are slim here, but Mushkin is smartly jumping on the M.2 bandwagon.
SandForce has had their new controller in the works for far too long (we saw silicon demos like this last CES in fact), but we are hoping to see actual product released this year. Note this delay is solely due to delays in SandForce's development process.
Full press blast for the Striker after the break.

CES 2015: Storage Visions Sightings Part 2: OWC, Intel, Micron, Samsung
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 8, 2015 - 12:40 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: storage visions, ssd, Samsung, owc, micron, Intel, ces 2015, CES
We covered some other Storage Visions sightings in a prior post, so now that a bit of the CES dust is settling down, here's the rest of what was cool to see at Storage Visions:
We'll start off with the Sonnet Tempo SSD Pro Plus, seen here with a pair of OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSDs installed. This is a PCIe to 4-channel SATA HBA. The controller does not appear to employ RAID, leaving that functionality up to the host system OS. Two 2.5" SATA devices can be mounted directly to the PCB, and an additional two SATA channels are available through the rear panel eSATA ports. This card is marketed primarily as a storage expander for Mac products, and can be connected to a Mac Pro via a Thunderbolt-to-PCIe card expander.
Here is an ASUS Copper, which bridges M.2 (enclosed within a 2.5" housing) to a SATA Express link. This may be handy for current generation PCIe 2.0 x2 M2 devices, but with PCIe 2.0 x4 and 3.0 x4 SSDs on the horizon, a SATA Express device of this type will rather quickly become a throughput bottleneck.
Various recent enterprise SSDs. Bottom left is our first sighting of a P3500, sitting next to a Micron P420M, which is just below a Micron M500DC. The right side is all Samsung, and includes an XS1715, which is not SATA, but PCIe/NVMe via an SFF-8639 connector. There are a few M.2 units in the center, and what appears to be another 1715 HHHL unit (PCIe/NVMe) at the bottom right.
That wraps up the Storage Visions goodies. Stand by for more storage related posts as we comb through all of the press releases and photos from the meetings we attended earlier this week.

Tagged: ssd, patriot, ignite, ces 2015
Patriot has released a new series of Ignite SSDs which use the Phison S10 controller and MLC NAND. They have opted to release large drives, the two models which will be available are 480GB and 960GB, priced at $0.44 and $0.42 if they come out at the MSRP. With these drive sizes the reported performance of up to 560MB/s sequential read and 545MB/s sequential write likely apply to both drives. We have seen this controller in action before when Al reviewed the Corsair Neutron XT 240GB which hit nearly those reported speeds.

It was the Greek philosopher Heraclitus who mused that the only constant in life is change. In the desert, no city epitomizes that concept more than Indio, the Coachella Valley's oldest and fastgrowing community.
From its earliest days as a Union Pacific Railroad depot to its current stature as the home of major events like the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Indio has evolved into a thriving center for art, culture, and commerce, earning the moniker "the City of Festivals."
"Goldenvoice has been a terrific partner for Indio," says Mayor Lupe Ramos Watson. "Because of Coachella and Stagecoach ('California's Country Music Festival'), we have more people who know where Indio is. For certain people, those events put us on the map."
In addition to the two annual Goldenvoice festivals, which draw in excess of 100,000 people per day during Coachella, and 65,000 per day during Stagecoach. The city has contracted with the chamber of commerce to produce a slew of popular local events, including the Taste of the East Valley and East Valley Restaurant Week (October), the Indio California BBQ State Championship (November), the Winter Balloon Glow Festival (December), the Southwest Arts Festival (January), and the Discover Indio Block Party (May).
"Indio has always adopted and incorporated the cultures of all the people who live here," says Ramos Watson. "For us, these festivals are a way to celebrate our culture and to share it with all our neighbors."
Since being incorporated in 1930, Indio has consistently attracted thousands of new residents each year, thanks in part to the shared vision and cooperation of its leaders. "I am one of the fortunate ones," says Ramos Watson, who was born and raised in North Indio. "This has always been a city of talented, hardworking people. In my lifetime I've seen amazing growth and development."
That's not to say Indio hasn't weathered its share of challenges, such as the global economic downturn of 2008. "At that time, we were investing heavily in infrastructure, repairing roads, and building the new Teen and Senior Center," recalls City Manager Dan Martinez, who came on board in 2010. "The recession forced us to reevaluate our priorities and renew our focus on efficiency. Through the combined team efforts of city staff and council, we've been able to return stability to Indio."
That commitment is reflected in the profusion of new businesses, such as the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership at the I-10 Auto Mall and the Walmart in North Indio, the latter which added nearly 300 jobs in the city in 2014. "(Walmart) was built in just nine months," Martinez says proudly. "Developers now know that when they come to Indio, they're going to get excellent, expedited service, from the building department through the permitting process."
Echoing that assessment is the financial planning website Ned's Wallet, which recently named Indio as one of the top cities in the country for starting a small business/restaurant. Factors considered included favorable economic conditions and steady population growth, both of which Indio scored favorably in. And it's not just big box stores and car dealerships that the city is attracting — the historic Old Town District, site of the annual Tamale Festival, is slowly but surely starting to bustle with the addition of new shops. Spearheading the effort to bring new businesses to the city is the Indio Chamber of Commerce, which recently launched a business incubator program that offers potential owners assistance in getting their operations up and running.
"Say you have an idea for a business, but don't know how to get it started," says Josh Bonner, president and CEO of the Indio Chamber Of Commerce. "This is a place where you can work for two or three or six months, with people who can help guide you through everything you need to do to get you into an office or storefront. We think of them as partners."
With the surge of new businesses setting up in the city and Riverside County investing in the new law library and College of the Desert's East Valley Campus and Teen Center, Indio is positioning itself as a place where residents can live, work, and learn.
"There were some who were concerned that our COD campus would siphon students away from the main campus in Palm Desert," Ramos Watson says. "But the reality is, most of our students are kids who probably wouldn't have gone to COD otherwise, whether it be because of lack of transportation or scheduling challenges. This campus has become part of their community, and we're all better off because of it."
Fostering an inviting creative environment is another major component of Indio's revitalization plan, including improvements to the existing Indio Performing Arts Center and Coachella Valley Art Center near Old Town. An organic extension of that effort is the addition of local eateries, galleries, and craft shops that attract the so-called "creative class" essential to any flourishing community.
"It would be nice to have more places where visitors could stop for dinner after a performance or take classes, and more places where people could see an art exhibit," Ramos Watson says. "We've seen it pop up in places like Pomona, Eagle Rock, and Monrovia, and we're seeing it start to happen here in Indio. But it all starts with creating the right environment."
One project currently benefiting from expedited permitting is a fourstory mixed-use building to be built near City Hall. "The bottom story is slated for shops, with apartments in the upper stories," Martinez says. "It will provide housing within walking distance of the COD campus."
Another important piece to ensuring Indio's long-term success is improved infrastructure, and city leaders are taking the necessary steps to make roads and facilities more attractive to prospective residents and businesses alike. "We're going through an evolution," Martinez says. "For example, we're looking at moving all of the old overhead cables underground and adding more sidewalks to make it easier for foot traffic. Some of these projects will happen sooner than others, but they're getting done. And I think people are taking notice."
One current project, the new freeway interchange at Jefferson Street and Interstate 10, is under construction and the city is working on plans for additional interchange improvements at Monroe Street and Golf Center Parkway. "It takes years to get in the queue (with Caltrans) for those projects," says Ramos Watson. "We want to be prepared when it happens."
Also in the planning stages is nearly $20 million in improvements for the Highway 111 Corridor. The goal of this project is to open congested arteries to the city's main business district while making it more attractive to visitors. "We have a great anchor with Mathis Brothers at the west end of the corridor," Bonner says. "And we've had four or five new restaurants open in the past year. We fully anticipate that trend to continue."
Riverside County also continues to be a major investor in Indio. In recent years, it has begun projects in the city that total nearly $350 million, including the new Riverside County Law Building (next to the Larson Justice Center) and a new detention facility and county offices. "Indio is the county's second seat," Ramos Watson says. "And it has always had an interest in seeing Indio succeed."
Rest assured public safety has not been left out of the equation, Martinez says. He credits the efforts of Indio Police Chief Richard Twiss with improving relations between the department and some of the less fortunate members of the community. "He's brought together city and county departments and local organizations like the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission to build a program that gives homeless individuals skills to help them find employment and permanent homes," Martinez says. "Over the past three years, it's reduced homelessness within our city borders by about 50 percent."
While some of these changes may seem small, it's the totality that creates a lasting impact. "When a city has stability, you don't see the changes happening," Martinez says. "You have to look back over 15 or 20 years to see it, and then you realize just how far you've come."
