Flash storage is too slow for your device's main memory, but RAM is expensive and volatile. Thanks to a breakthrough from IBM, phase-change memory (PCM) might one day replace them both. The crystal-based storage has been used in optical disks and other tech for at least 15 years, but the technology has been limited by the cost and storage density -- cells are either "on" or "off." However, IBM researchers have figured out how to save 3-bits of data per cell, dramatically increasing the capacity of the original tech.
To store PCM data on a Blu-ray disk, you apply a high current to amorphous (non-crystalline) glass materials, transforming them into a more conductive crystale form. To read it back, you apply a lower voltage to measure conductivity -- when it's high, the state is "1," and when it's low, it's "0." By heating up the materials, more states can be stored, but the problem is that the crystals can "drift" depending on the ambient temperature. IBM's team figured out how to track and encode those variations, allowing them to reliably read 3-bits of data per cell long after it was written.
That suddenly makes PCM a lot more interesting -- its speed is currently much better than flash, but the costs are as high as RAM thanks to the low density. "Reaching 3 bits per cell is a significant milestone because at this density the cost of PCM will be significantly less than DRAM and closer to flash," says Dr. Haris Pozidis from IBM Research. With the discovery, phase-change memory could become feasible for more than just optical disks.
For instance, PCM memory could be used in conjunction with flash to create an extremely fast cache for a cell phone. "A mobile phone's operating system could be stored in PCM, enabling the phone to launch in a few seconds," according to the researchers. It could also replace regular SSDs for time-critical applications, because PCM memory can read data in less than 1 microsecond, compared to 70 microseconds for flash. RAM is still much faster, of course, but in certain applications, PCM could work as "universal" storage and replace both RAM and flash memory.
The research still needs to be developed commercially, and has to compete with other promising tech like memristors and resistive RAM. IBM thinks that it's more than feasible, however, and sees it as the perfect storage medium for Watson-like artificial intelligence apps.

Samsung has just announced a 256GB microSD card, raising the bar for storage on the format. SanDisk recently released a 200GB microSD card — that up until now was the highest capacity microSD card — back in March, but it'll have to settle for second place for now.
The EVO Plus 256GB microSD card has read and write speeds of 95MB/s and 90MB/s respectively, and can store up to 55,200 photos, 12 hours of 4K video, 33 hours of full HD video, or 23,500 songs. Samsung says the card will come with a 10-year limited warranty and will be available in over 50 countries beginning in June for $249.99.

Through years of dev kits, prototypes, and trade show demos of the Oculus Rift, we've been stuck guessing at just how much hardware power the eventual consumer version of the device would require. Now, with that consumer launch officially slated for early 2016, Oculus has announced what PC hardware it recommends for a quality VR experience.
According to Oculus, those recommended hardware specs are:
That's a relatively beefy system, all things considered. A quick price check on Newegg suggests that the listed CPU, RAM, and video card would add up to just over $600. Add in a barebones tower, motherboard, and 250GB solid state hard drive, and you're looking at a nearly $900 system to run the Rift, all told. That's before you account for the (still unannounced) price of the headset itself. Upgrading from an existing gaming rig will obviously be cheaper, and component costs will come down by the Rift's early 2016 launch, but a lot of potential VR users are still going to be staring down some significant upgrade costs.
The Windows 7 requirement is also surprising, given that current Rift development kits run on Mac OS X and Linux as well. In a detailed explanation of the recommended specs, Oculus Chief Architect Atman Binstock says that "our development for OS X and Linux has been paused in order to focus on delivering a high quality consumer-level VR experience at launch across hardware, software, and content on Windows. We want to get back to development for OS X and Linux, but we don't have a timeline."
Elsewhere in the blog post, Binstock reveals that the consumer Rift itself "runs at 2160×1200 at 90Hz split over dual displays." That translates to 233 million raw pixels per second, but the "eye target scale" for Rift scenes is an even higher 400 million shaded pixels per second, Binstock says. That's "approximately 3x the GPU power of 1080p rendering" at 60 frames per second on a normal monitor, according to Binstock, a requirement that's more serious when you take into account VR's need for a rock-solid refresh rate with no dropped frames.
Oculus' recommended hardware configuration will be able to provide a solid sense of virtual reality presence "over the lifetime of the Rift," Binstock says, and allows game developers to "optimize for a known hardware configuration, which ensures a better player experience of comfortable sustained presence." Binstock also points out that equivalent-performance hardware will come down in price over the life of the Rift, expanding the universe of PCs that can handle its virtual reality. And while "almost no current laptops have the GPU performance for the recommended spec... upcoming mobile GPUs may be able to support this level of performance."
Going forward, Binstock suggests that the launch of consumer VR "will likely drive changes in GPUs, OSs, drivers, 3D engines, and apps, ultimately enabling much more efficient low-latency VR performance." Translation: Maybe we can expect even cheaper, VR-focused PC hardware once the manufacturers catch up to our needs.

There has been a LOT of confusion around Windows, SSDs (hard drives), and whether or not they are getting automatically defragmented by automatic maintenance tasks in Windows.
There's a general rule of thumb or statement that "defragging an SSD is always a bad idea." I think we can agree we've all heard this before. We've all been told that SSDs don't last forever and when they die, they just poof and die. SSDs can only handle a finite number of writes before things start going bad. This is of course true of regular spinning rust hard drives, but the conventional wisdom around SSDs is to avoid writes that are perceived as unnecessary.
I've seen statements around the web like this:
I just noticed that the defragsvc is hammering the internal disk on my machine. To my understanding defrag provides no value add on an SSD and so is disabled by default when the installer determines the disk is SSD. I was thinking it could be TRIM working, but I thought that was internal to the SSD and so the OS wouldn't even see the IO.
One of the most popular blog posts on the topic of defrag and SSDs under Windows is by Vadim Sterkin. Vadim's analysis has a lot going on. He can see that defrag is doing something, but it's not clear why, how, or for how long. What's the real story? Something is clearly running, but what is it doing and why?
I made some inquiries internally, got what I thought was a definitive answer and waded in with a comment. However, my comment, while declarative, was wrong.
Windows doesn't defrag SSDs. Full stop. If it reports as an SSD it doesn't get defraged, no matter what. This is just a no-op message. There's no bug here, sorry. - Me in the Past
I dug deeper and talked to developers on the Windows storage team and this post is written in conjunction with them to answer the question, once and for all
It turns out that the answer is more nuanced than just yes or no, as is common with technical questions.
The short answer is, yes, Windows does sometimes defragment SSDs, yes, it's important to intelligently and appropriately defrag SSDs, and yes, Windows is smart about how it treats your SSD.
The long answer is this.
Actually Scott and Vadim are both wrong. Storage Optimizer will defrag an SSD once a month if volume snapshots are enabled. This is by design and necessary due to slow volsnap copy on write performance on fragmented SSD volumes. It's also somewhat of a misconception that fragmentation is not a problem on SSDs. If an SSD gets too fragmented you can hit maximum file fragmentation (when the metadata can't represent any more file fragments) which will result in errors when you try to write/extend a file. Furthermore, more file fragments means more metadata to process while reading/writing a file, which can lead to slower performance.
As far as Retrim is concerned, this command should run on the schedule specified in the dfrgui UI. Retrim is necessary because of the way TRIM is processed in the file systems. Due to the varying performance of hardware responding to TRIM, TRIM is processed asynchronously by the file system. When a file is deleted or space is otherwise freed, the file system queues the trim request to be processed. To limit the peek resource usage this queue may only grow to a maximum number of trim requests. If the queue is of max size, incoming TRIM requests may be dropped. This is okay because we will periodically come through and do a Retrim with Storage Optimizer. The Retrim is done at a granularity that should avoid hitting the maximum TRIM request queue size where TRIMs are dropped.
Wow, that's awesome and dense. Let's tease it apart a little.
When he says volume snapshots or "volsnap" he means the Volume Shadow Copy system in Windows. This is used and enabled by Windows System Restore when it takes a snapshot of your system and saves it so you can rollback to a previous system state. I used this just yesterday when I install a bad driver. A bit of advanced info here - Defrag will only run on your SSD if volsnap is turned on, and volsnap is turned on by System Restore as one needs the other. You could turn off System Restore if you want, but that turns off a pretty important safety net for Windows.
One developer added this comment, which I think is right on.
I think the major misconception is that most people have a very outdated model of disk\file layout, and how SSDs work.
First, yes, your SSD will get intelligently defragmented once a month. Fragmentation, while less of a performance problem on SSDs vs traditional hard drives is still a problem. SSDS *do* get fragmented.
It's also worth pointing out that what we (old-timers) think about as "defrag.exe" as a UI is really "optimize your storage" now. It was defrag in the past and now it's a larger disk health automated system.
Additionally, there is a maximum level of fragmentation that the file system can handle. Fragmentation has long been considered as primarily a performance issue with traditional hard drives. When a disk gets fragmented, a singular file can exist in pieces in different locations on a physical drive. That physical drive then needs to seek around collecting pieces of the file and that takes extra time.
This kind of fragmentation still happens on SSDs, even though their performance characteristics are very different. The file systems metadata keeps track of fragments and can only keep track of so many. Defragmentation in cases like this is not only useful, but absolutely needed.
SSDs also have the concept of TRIM. While TRIM (retrim) is a separate concept from fragmentation, it is still handled by the Windows Storage Optimizer subsystem and the schedule is managed by the same UI from the User's perspective. TRIM is a way for SSDs to mark data blocks as being not in use. Writing to empty blocks on an SSD is faster that writing to blocks in use as those need to be erased before writing to them again. SSDs internally work very differently from traditional hard drives and don't usually know what sectors are in use and what is free space. Deleting something means marking it as not in use. TRIM lets the operating system notify the SSD that a page is no longer in use and this hint gives the SSD more information which results in fewer writes, and theoretically longer operating life.
In the old days, you would sometimes be told by power users to run this at the command line to see if TRIM was enabled for your SSD. A zero result indicates it is.

However, this stuff is handled by Windows today in 2014, and you can trust that it's "doing the right thing." Windows 7, along with 8 and 8.1 come with appropriate and intelligent defaults and you don't need to change them for optimal disk performance. This is also true with Server SKUs like Windows Server 2008R2 and later.
No, Windows is not foolishly or blindly running a defrag on your SSD every night, and no, Windows defrag isn't shortening the life of your SSD unnecessarily. Modern SSDs don't work the same way that we are used to with traditional hard drives.
Yes, your SSD's file system sometimes needs a kind of defragmentation and that's handled by Windows, monthly by default, when appropriate. The intent is to maximize performance and a long life. If you disable defragmentation completely, you are taking a risk that your filesystem metadata could reach maximum fragmentation and get you potentially in trouble.

At Backblaze we now have 34,881 drives and store over 100 petabytes of data. We continually track how our disk drives are doing, which ones are reliable, and which ones need to be replaced.
I did a blog post back in January, called "What Hard Drive Should I Buy?" It covered the reliability of each of the drive models that we use. This month I'm updating those numbers and sharing some surprising new findings.
Losing a disk drive at Backblaze is not a big deal. Every file we back up is replicated across multiple drives in the data center. When a drive fails, it is promptly replaced, and its data is restored. Even so, we still try to avoid failing drives, because replacing them costs money.
We carefully track which drives are doing well and which are not, to help us when selecting new drives to buy.
The good news is that the chart today looks a lot like the one from January, and that most of the drives are continuing to perform well. It's nice when things are stable.
The surprising (and bad) news is that Seagate 3.0TB drives are failing a lot more, with their failure rate jumping from 9% to 15%. The Western Digital 3TB drives have also failed more, with their rate going up from 4% to 7%.
In the chart below, the grey bars are the failure rates up through the end of 2013, and the colored bars are the failure rates including all of the data up through the end of June, 2014.
You can see that all the HGST (formerly Hitachi) drives, the Seagate 1.5 TB and 4.0 TB, and Western Digital 1.0 TB drives are all continuing to perform as well as they were before. But the Seagate and Western Digital 3.0 TB drives failure rates are up quite a bit.
It may be that those drives are less well-suited to the data center environment. Or it could be that getting them by drive farming and removing them from external USB enclosures caused problems. We'll continue to monitor and report on how these drives perform in the future.
Assuming we continue to see a failure rate of 15% on these drives, would it make sense to switch to "enterprise" drives instead?
There are two answers to this question:
This table shows the detailed breakdown of how many of which drives we have, how old they are on average, and what the failure rate is. It includes all drive models that we have at least 200 of. A couple of models are new to Backblaze and show a failure rate of "n/a" because there isn't enough data yet for reliable numbers.
|Number of Hard Drives by Model at Backblaze
| Number
of Drives
| Average Age
in years
|Annual Failure Rate
| Seagate Desktop HDD.15
| HGST Deskstar 7K2000
| HGST Deskstar 5K3000
| Seagate Barracuda 7200.14
| HGST Megascale 4000.B
| HGST Deskstar 5K4000
| Seagate Barracuda LP
| HGST Megascale 4000
| HGST Deskstar 7K3000
| Western Digital Red
| Western Digital Caviar Green
| Seagate Barracuda 7200.11
| Seagate Barracuda XT
We use two different models of Seagate 3TB drives. The Barracuda 7200.14 is having problems, but the Barracuda XT is doing well with less than half the failure rate.
There is a similar pattern with the Seagate 1.5TB drives. The Barracuda 7200.11 is having problems, but the Barracuda LP is doing well.
While the failure rate of Seagate and Western Digital 3 TB hard drives has started to rise, most of the consumer-grade drives in the Backblaze data center are continuing to perform well, and are a cost-effective way to provide unlimited online backup at a good price.
9-30-2014 – We were nicely asked by the folks at HGST to replace the name Hitachi with the name HGST given that HGST is no longer an Hitachi company. To that end we have changed Hitachi to HGST in this post and in the graph.

When it comes to technology, it is almost impossible to stay on the forefront. You will drive yourself nuts, and empty your wallet, chasing after every new thing. Got the newest and most expensive graphics card? Yesterday's news within months. The newest iPhone? You can make that claim for one year at best.
Hard drives are no different and are probably the longest-running way for manufacturers to take money from nerds. I bought a 4TB drive earlier in the year thinking it would be high-end for some time, but sure enough, it is now yawn-worthy. Why? Today, Seagate begins shipping 8TB hard drives. Yup, twice as big as my 4TB drive. I haven't learned my lesson though as I already want one!
"A cornerstone for growing capacities in multiple applications, the 8TB hard drive delivers bulk data storage solutions for online content storage providing customers with the highest capacity density needed to address an ever increasing amount of unstructured data in an industry-standard 3.5-inch HDD. Providing up to 8TB in a single drive slot, the drive delivers maximum rack density, within an existing footprint, for the most efficient data center floor space usage possible", says Seagate.
The manufacturer further explains, "the 8TB hard disk drive increases system capacity using fewer components for increased system and staffing efficiencies while lowering power costs. With its low operating power consumption, the drive reliably conserves energy thereby reducing overall operating costs. Helping customers economically store data, it boasts the best Watts/GB for enterprise bulk data storage in the industry".
In other words, you can free up SATA connectors and lower energy costs by utilizing one drive instead of multiple. Think of it this way; I already own a 4TB drive. If I add a second 4TB drive instead of replacing the first with an 8TB variant, I will be wasting a SATA port and using more electricity. For a home user, this isn't a huge deal, but in a server environment, it can really add up. Over time, the savings could justify the cost.
Cost is the big mystery though, as Seagate has not announced an MSRP. However, it is shipping a limited supply of the drives to select retailers and will open it up to more later in the year. Expect them to be expensive, at least for the time being. Hopefully they will work in existing USB enclosures, so laptop and Surface users can enjoy the fun too.
Do you need 8TB of storage on your home computer? What are you storing? Tell me in the comments.
A Japanese research team developed a technology to drastically improve the writing speed, power efficiency and cycling capability (product life) of a storage device based on NAND flash memory (SSD).
The team is led by Ken Takeuchi, professor at the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Communication Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering of Chuo University. The development was announced at 2014 IEEE International Memory Workshop (IMW), an international academic conference on semiconductor memory technologies, which took place from May 18 to 21, 2014, in Taipei. The title of the thesis is "NAND Flash Aware Data Management System for High-Speed SSDs by Garbage Collection Overhead Suppression."
With NAND flash memory, it is not possible to overwrite data on the same memory area, making it necessary to write data on a different area and, then, invalidate the old area. As a result, data is fragmented, increasing invalid area and decreasing storage capacity. Therefore, NAND flash memories carry out "garbage collection," which rearranges fragmented data in a continuous way and erases blocks of invalid area. This process takes 100ms or longer, drastically decreasing the writing speed of SSD.
In September 2013, to address this issue, the research team developed a method to prevent data fragmentation by making improvements to middleware that controls a storage for database applications. It makes (1) the "SE (storage engine)" middleware, which assigns logical addresses when an application software accesses a storage device, and (2) the FTL (flash translation layer) middleware, which converts logical addresses into physical addresses on the side of the SSD controller, work in conjunction. This time, the team developed a more versatile method that can be used for a wider variety of applications.
The new method forms a middleware layer called "LBA (logical block address) scrambler" between the file system (OS) and FTL. The LBA scrambler works in conjunction with the FTL and converts the logical addresses of data being written to reduce the effect of fragmentation.
Specifically, instead of writing data on a new blank page, data is written on a fragmented page located in the block to be erased next. As a result, the ratio of invalid pages in the block to be erased increases, reducing the number of valid pages that need to be copied to another area at the time of garbage collection.
In a simulation, the research team confirmed that the new technology improves the writing speed of SSD by up to 300% and reduces power consumption by up to 60% and the number of write/erase cycles by up to 55%, increasing product life. Because, with the new method, it is not necessary to make any changes to NAND flash memory, and the method is completed within the middleware, it can be applied to existing SSDs as it is.

In November, online backup provider Backblaze published some interesting statistics on hard drive mortality based on over 25,000 units in active service. It found that failure rates were higher in the first 18 months and after three years. Those conclusions matched the findings of other studies on the subject, but frustratingly, they didn't include information on specific makes and models.
Today, Backblaze is naming names.
The firm has posted details on failure rates for 15 different consumer-grade hard drives, and the numbers don't look good for Seagate. See for yourself:
And that doesn't even tell the whole story. In Backblaze's storage pods, Seagate's Barracuda 1.5TB has an annual failure rate of over 25%. The 5,400-RPM version of that drive fares better—its failure rate is only 10%—but that's still pretty high compared to the competition. The failure rate of similar Hitachi drives in the same environment is less than 2%.
Only 10% of the hard drives in Backblaze's storage pods come from WD, and they're strictly low-power Green and Red models. The annual failure rates are pretty low, though: only 3-4%. Backblaze's purchasing decisions are largely driven by price, which is probably why fewer WD drives are in the mix. They tend to be a little pricier.
Interestingly, two drives proved to be so unreliable in Backblaze's storage pods that they were left out of the totals completely. Seagate's Barracuda LP 2TB and WD's Green 3TB "start accumulating errors as soon as they are put into production," the company says. It thinks vibration might be part of the problem. Other Barracuda LP and Green models seem unfazed, though.
Here's a look at survival rates over time:
After three years, only about three quarters of the Seagate drives remain. A surprising number of those failures come between 18 and 24 months, which contradicts the overall trend noted in Backblaze's initial study. Infant mortality seems to be a bigger problem for the WD drives, while the Hitachis fail at a steady but slow rate.
Backblaze says the Seagate drives are also more prone to dropping out of RAID arrays prematurely. The company uses consumer-grade drives that aren't designed explicitly for RAID environments, of course, but that doesn't seem to bother the Hitachis. They spend just 0.01% of their time in so-called "trouble" states, compared to 0.17% for the WD drives and 0.28% for the Seagates.
Overall, Backblaze's data suggests that Seagate drives are less reliable than their peers. That matches my own experiences with a much smaller sample size, and it may influence our future recommendations in the System Guide. Hmm. In the meantime, kudos to Backblaze for not only collecting this data, but also publishing a detailed breakdown.

Since The Game is making the world endlessly wait for his RED album, he's throwing out free music in the meantime. The double disc mixtape includes guest artists Dr. Dre, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, Fabolous and Jim Jones.
The followup to 2008's blockbuster Tha Carter III is set to be released on the same day that Lil Wayne will be released from prison.
Not getting enough Lil Wayne in your life? I doubt that's even possible, but if your Weezy fix is still not satiated, dig this new mixtape of 2010 tracks, most of which you've probably never set ears on.
Download the much-heralded new mix from producer Sean Garrett, the man responsible for 15 #1 hits in just seven years.
This week's new albums include discs from LCD Soundsystem, Exodus, the Black Keys, Janelle Monae, and Nas. Read our quick cuts.
Lil Wayne has his prison sentence pushed back yet again due to a fire at the New York City courthouse Rolling Stone reports. This will be the second delay in his sentencing after the rapper pleaded guilty to a 2007 charge for weapons possession.
Oh, this is hilarious. With multi-platinum rapper Lil Wayne heading off to jail, his apartment in Miami is for rent. Unfortunately, the landlord is having a bit of a problem finding tenants…
Fans of celebrity jailtime were expecting multi-platinum rapper Lil Wayne to begin his one-year prison sentence for weapons charges related to his arrest in 2007…
Welcome to February – here's some music! The drought has ended, and a massive flow of new tunes is gushing forth from the open mouths of our favorite bands (and some of our un-favorites)…
An interesting week for music releases, as there's no mass-market dross dropping, leaving nothing but interesting records for me to talk about. Thus, a bad week for jokes but a good week for ears. Let's pop on the headphones and listen…
It's new record day once again, where your ears open like delicate tulips to the siren call of marginally talented people and their Auto-Tune machines.
So Lil' Wayne is off to jail, but that doesn't make his music any less hot – hell, it actually makes it more legit. He just dropped a new mixtape, "No Ceilings", and after my first listen I have to say that it's up there with his best. You need it?
So the man who had the best-selling album of 2008 is going to be spending most of 2010 behind bars. Lil Wayne, caught with a handgun in a Louis Vuitton bag in a weed-reeking tour bus, pled guilty to "attempted weapons possession" in a New York courtroom today.
Sex – it's awesome, right? If you don't know the answer to that question for some horrible reason, the answer is "Right!" And what do we like almost as much as sex? Why, music, of course.

The Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR is a relatively large lens, much larger than the consumer-grade lenses for DX camera, and so it will feel much more at home on a Nikon D700 or D3s than on a DX body. Because it is large (and larger when zoomed), it will attract attention as will any large lens.
Build quality
Build quality is in the same league as most Nikon AF-S pro-grade zoom lenses, but it does have an overall lower quality feel than the 24-70mm f/2.8G, due to its focusing ring and the extension of the lens.
Lens hood
The lens hood expands outwards, and thus occupies significant space. It is not really adequate for longer focal lengths, because the distance from the front element does not change. It will almost certainly block the flash output on a Nikon D700 or DX body with built-in flash at just about any focal length—remove the hood.

"We are on our way to Le Havre. The train is going so fast that the landscape is all but a blur. From time to time, I can see a farm in the mist surrounded by a sea of green fields. I am excited but also scared. It is 1955, and we are on our way to New York."
So begins the marvelous journey of Colette Rossant, just married to an American architect and about to leave France for a new life in the heart of New York City. At first, Colette finds Americans' manners to be as mystifying as their cuisine, but before long, she discovers the myriad charms of her adopted country. Between taking on an astoundingly diverse series of jobs, raising four children, and renovating a Soho town house, Colette develops her own flair for food -- and for superb food writing. In this spirited and deliciously entertaining memoir, Colette shares the unforgettable stories of her forty tumultuous years at the heart of American and international cuisine.
The children's cooking school she starts for her daughter's friends turns into a starring role on a PBS television series. As New York magazine's "Underground Gourmet," she hails the city's staggering array of outstanding ethnic cuisine. Either with her husband and children, or on her own, she travels to Africa, China, Japan, and South America, exploring cuisine and culture around the globe. She rides camels through the Australian outback, barters lipstick for fresh vegetables in Tanzania, and is almost arrested as a spy by the Chinese secret police -- just because she is trying to eat like a local.
Charming, indomitable, endlessly curious and adventurous, Colette Rossant inspires us to savor every meal -- and every day. With a wonderful array of mouth-watering recipes, The World in My Kitchen is an irresistible celebration of family, food, and life.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The distinguished surname Lyon is a proud example of one of the more noteworthy Scottish surnames. In Scotland, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate.The Lyon family originally lived in the Norman settlement of Lyons-la-Foret, before migrating to England and Scotland.
The surname Lyon was first found in Perthshire where Sir Roger de Lyon settled in Scotland in 1098 and called the lands there Glen Lyon. "According to the family tradition the Lyons came to Scotland from France, by way of England, in the course of the twelfth century." [1] "John de Lyon obtained from David II a grant of the baronies of Forteviot and Fergundeny in Perthshire and Drumgawan in Aberdeenshire; his son, Sir John Lyon, was Secretary to Robert II, whose youngest daughter, Lady Jane Stewart, he married, and was created Lord Glamis, made Great Chamberlain, and Lord Chancellor of Scotland, and received grants of the Thanedom of Glamis in Forfarshire, and of the Barony of Kinghorn in Fifeshire. " [2] Another source claims that the family arrived via England later. "The name was not uncommon in England in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, and landowners of the name were in occupation in several of the English shires in the reigns of Edward I and Edward II. The first of the name recorded in Scotland, probably an English soldier, was Thomas Lyon, crossbowman, who formed one of the garrison of Linlithgow peel in the pay of Edward II. " [1] Mention should now be made of the numerous listings of the family in England at about the same time. Here it is generally thought that the first record of the name was Roger de Leonibus filius Jeffrey de Lions who was listed in the Feet of Fines of Norfolk during the reign of Henry III of England (reign 1216-1272.) The same source lists John de Leonibus in Southamptonshire and Peter de Leonibus in Northamptonshire. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 list: Judaeus Leo and Jacob filius Leonis in Lincolnshire; John Leon in Oxfordshire; and Roger de Lyons, Wiltshire. [3]
Spelling variations of this family name include: Lyon, Lions, Lyons and others.

Some of the first settlers of this family name were:
Lyon Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Lyon Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Lyon Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Lyon Settlers in Canada in the 18th Century
Lyon Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Lyon Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Pro rege et patria
Motto Translation: For King and country.

The Lyon Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Lyon Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Local author and school counselor Bill Conger spent the last two years up to his eyeballs in vintage images of Mt. Juliet.
His new book, "Images of America; Mount Juliet" just debuted and unearths Mt. Juliet's history in rarely seen black and white photographs that depict the rich tapestry of Mt. Juliet.
While Conger grew up in Smithville, Tenn., he's spent the past dozen years living in Mt. Juliet in Willoughby Station subdivision.
"I was intrigued by the cemetery that is preserved smack dab in the subdivision," he said.
Twine this with an encounter with the author of "Images of America: Delkab County," Conger "began to wonder if there was anything similar for Mt. Juliet."
He realized there wasn't and began to compile more than 200 vintage images that chronicle the city's history. Mt. Juliet is one of the fastest-growing communities in Tennessee and has undergone significant transformation since its beginning over 200 years ago.
"Unfortunately, for history lovers, few of the early buildings were spared the wrecking ball," he said. "Many of those treasures are gone forever, except in the hearts of the descendants and in the preserved photographs in this pictorial collection."
Some locals helped Conger uncover the dusty photographs. Donna Graves Ferrell and Diane Weather with the West Wilson Historical Society were very integral in collecting the photographs. Conger also met with the now deceased town historian and first mayor N.C. Hibbett during the compilation.
"I went to church with N.C.'s wife, Jenny Bess, and she invited me to come to their home and see their huge train set," said Conger. "It revolved around old Mt. Juliet stops. It was so cool. N.C. was such an integral part of the city while it was forming."
Conger said it was an intense project, but he enjoyed seeing it to its fruition. Some of the book's highlights are the inclusion of professional basketball player and Mt. Juliet native Tom Marshall and hundreds of photos and detailed caption of some of the few photo of early Mt. Juliet that are still in existence. The book is broken down into six main chapters entitled The Early Days of Mt. Juliet; Hitting the books and balls; All Aboard; Faith and farming; Simple Living; and Modern-Day Mt. Juliet.
Historians say Mt. Juliet was born on the headwaters of Stoner's (Lick) Creek, which was named after 18th-Century long hunter Michael Stoner. Two hundred hears ago the city was a small agrarian community and had a handful of families who raised cattle and were dedicated to digging into the rocky soil, planting crops to make ends meet. Today the city boasts nearly 25,000 citizens and is one of the fastest growing cities in Tennessee. Conger said the origin of the city's name has for years been a subject of friendly debate. However, most say the city's moniker derived for a manor in County Kilkenny, Ireland.
This is not Conger's first book. He's written "Rejoice in the Lord Always; Jeff Tillman story". He's currently a school counselor for DeKalb West School. He's worked in radio and television for 25 years, including stints at WSM and as a feature producer for CMT and Jim Owens and Associates. He lives with wife Alyssa and children Autumn and Gavin.
Conger said he knows these early images of Mt. Juliet are lasting and he feels proud he's captured them for all in this book.
"Mt. Juliet is a commuter city, and few descendants from the early days of Mt. Juliet remain," he said. "I hope this book will give people who moved into the city a deeper appreciation for the city. I hope people can look at this book and get some perspective of where the community began and how much it has advanced in such a short time.
"I would also like to see people appreciate the history enough to not allow the razing of any more historic buildings or sites for 'progress.'"
The book can be found at Books a Million, other bookstores, independent retailers and online retailers such as Amazon.com. It is published by Arcadia. Conger will most likely have books signings locally at places such as the Mt. Juliet Library and Billy Goat Café.

First, a little background. The Oracle Database Appliance is an x86 system featuring Oracle Linux, the Oracle Database, and 12 TB of storage. It scales from 2 to 24 Intel cores. All 24 cores are included with the system.
According to Oracle...
- 91% of ODA sales involve VARs.
- The biggest ODA adopter is Walgreens, which has 15 units to date.
- Daimler Trucks has migrated from Microsoft SQL Server to ODA.
10 value-added distributors (VADs) pre-bought units for inventory, though Oracle did not discuss actual sales metrics or overall inventory levels.
The database appliance is catching on, Oracle claims, because it only takes days to deploy and Oracle license management gives customers pay-as-you grow pricing. Basically, you license the software based on the number of cores you're using.
Although The VAR Guy didn't catch exact statistics, a chart seemed to indicate that roughly 40 percent of ODA sales are in North America, 25 percent in EMEA, 20 percent in APAC, 8 percent in Latin America and 7 percent in Japan.
- How many Oracle Database Appliances has Oracle actually sold?
- Which channel partners are succeeding with the Oracle Database Appliance?

Easily manipulate and mock out time in your tests
Easily manipulate and mock out time in your tests
Let's say you have a simple time module that collects an array of timestamps every second.
// ./fixtures/time.js var setTimeout = require"timers"setTimeoutvar now = require"date-now" var items = loop return peek return items itemspushnow setTimeoutloop 1000
It uses
require("timers").setTimeout and
require("date-now") so that it's
not hardcoded to time based global state.
We can then simply mock these things out using
var mock = require"mock"var assert = require"assert" var Timer = require"../index" // Pass starting time to Timer var timer = Timer0 // Pass mocked setTimeout and Date.now functions to your module var time = mock"./fixtures/time" timers: setTimeout: timersetTimeout "date-now": timernow require var t = time console.log"#1" tassertdeepEqualt 0 timeradvance500 console.log"#2" tassertdeepEqualt 0 timeradvance500 console.log"#3" tassertdeepEqualt 0 1000 timeradvance2000 console.log"#4" tassertdeepEqualt 0 1000 2000 3000 timeradvance4999 console.log"#5" tassertdeepEqualt 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 5000 6000 7000
Timer basically allows you to create simple mockable functions for setTimeout
and Date.now. You can then call
timer.advance(delta) to make time move
This is awesome for unit tests when you don't want your tests to be slow based on the fact that they have to wait for timeouts.

I sell used bikes on Ebay as AdkerWoods. Mostly fixed gear. Someone else that sells fixed gear bikes has copied my listing html (layout) almost exactly. He even changed the way he takes photos so they have a similar background to mine. I have contacted him, and at first he responded, but since I asked him to stop copying there has been no word back. Should I ignore this or be a prick and narc him in to the Ebay Feds?
I have worked hard at establishing and maintaining my Ebay reputation. My selling prices reflects this. His final bids on the other hand are considerably less. There must be a reason. I feel he is trying to piggy back on my hard earned rep. I look forward to hearing what YOU would do.


text: I don't know if any of you have done the White Rim Trail on a tandem, but my question is whether a road tandem with *lots* of gears could be used to do this trail after we switch out the wheels and tires to use mountain bike wheels/tires? The Stoker has a shock-absorbing seatpost, but in this scenario the captain would still be using the road style drop bars up front. Gearing is not the problem, and it looks as if we have clearence, etc. to use the mountain bike wheels and tires on it. Would this be do-able for a dirt jeep trail that they say is "introductory" ? With the tire change I suppose it would be similar to a cross bike.

Mock drafts have mixed feelings on McClinton
Here's hoping former UM guard Jack McClinton hasn't paid much attention to all those NBA mock drafts.
Despite being a two-time All-ACC player, some of so-called experts have left McClinton off their draft boards. At least five say he will go undrafted in tonight's NBA Draft in New York. Others have him going anywhere from No. 36 (Detroit) to No. 56 (Dallas).
Here's a quick rundown of where 10 popular mock drafts have McClinton being taken:
NBADraft.net: Undrafted
MyNBAdraft.com: No. 43 to Miami
Draftexpress.com: No. 46 to Phoenix
Draftempire.com: No. 50 to Utah
NBAdraftdepot.com: No. 56 to Dallas
CollegeHoops.net: Undrafted
TheDraftReview.com: Undrated
HoopsWorld.com: No. 36 to Pistons
RealGM.com: Undrafted
NBAdraftpress.com: Undrafted
McClinton, who is in Baltimore with family, shouldn't worry too much if he goes undrafted. It just means he will have to find a way to impress in the NBA summer league. That should give him every opportunity to make an NBA roster.
"No matter where's picked, he'll be on someone's summer league squad and will have a chance to impress that way, particularly with all the European scouts in attendance," ProBasketballNews.com writer Tony Mejia said. "A somewhat similar player, Georgia Tech's Anthony Morrow, earned himself NBA living by shooting the lights out throughout the summer league process."

On achy mornings-after—when you start to regret squeezing in that extra 10 reps—Lucky Tiger literally has your back. This allover muscle rub is a miracle salve for sore muscles and joints, featuring a concentrated blend of aromatics like eucalyptus, wintergreen, menthol, and peppermint work to relax and soothe on contact. The beeswax base ensures it goes on smoothly, offering instant relief when you've pushed yourself to the limit.
This helps a lot with my fibromyalgia! Now, whether it's the product itself or the massaging, I couldn't prove either way. ;) But it does have a *wonderful* minty, eucalyptus scent - very relaxing!! Please do be aware, though, that it's in a base of pure beeswax - so if you have an allergy, be wary!5
My wife purchased this for me and it is absolutely perfect! The smell is very light and minty. Not overbearing at all. It penetrated the pain in my lower back and took the pain completely! I was shocked and am now a total fan of this product. We will be purchasing this product again and again in the future.5
Small enough for a plane toiletry bag or an essential for a great back packing adventure, this magical ointment soothes sore muscles and offers relief. I bought it for my ever wandering college age boys but am going to re order for myself since I have pretty severe fibromyalgia and it was pretty effective in relieving some of my trigger points. A must have for any back pack, I'll also make it a staple in every first aid kit.5
I've used other Lucky Tiger products in the past, but this one just wasn't strong enough for me. It's not a bad product, but didn't feel as though it was getting deep down to where the pain was; as I was using for joint pain. if you're looking for a gentle non-irritating salve and without a strong odor, then this may work for you. However if you're looking for something that will get deep down into your muscles and joints, this is not the right product.3
This muscle rub smells wonderful and provides a pleasant cooling sensation that may help distract you from the pain of sore muscles. My husband and I have tried this product and did not notice a major effect on sore muscle relief aside from the pleasant cooling sensation.3

Sounds interesting. I'll remember to take my stab vest if I ever go to Limerick then!
It sounds lovely.
Don't write any more!! A page with an overflowing train loo and a chippie that makes me want to get on that train is the best intro ever to a place. OK you can add a couple of pubs if you really must LOL ;)

This application is a Continuation-In--Part of application Ser. No. 385,212 filed Jul. 25, 1989, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,980,207.
The invention concerns a process for coating running webs of paper or cardboard where two coats are applied in direct succession, one upon the other, while the first coat is still moist. For both the first and second coatings there is at least one rotatable roll provided for support of the web, and at least the second coat is applied and dosed directly on the web. The invention also concerns appropriate applicator devices.
A process for coating running webs with two successive coating operations, where the first coat is still moist as the second is applied, is known from the U.S. Pat. No. 3,202,536. The two coating stations are both arranged on a single roll guiding the web and on two successive rolls. A so-called airbrush is used as a final smoothing element. An applicator device of appropriate kind with a roll supporting the web on a coating device is known also from the Canadian Patent Document 882,640. In this case, the coat is applied by means of an applicator roll and scraped off by a doctor blade. A mixture for the coating substance is used that consists of a kaolin substance as well as starch, protein or thermoplastic synthetic resin. U.S. Pat. No. 3,202,536, provides that the first application coat has a relatively high consistency, i.e., with a solid substance content of more than 55%, while the second coat has a considerably lower consistency with a lower solid substance content of maximally 45%, where the major share is always kaolin.
Due to the high speeds in coating, using an airbrush is very problematic today; the airbrush can practically be used only up to speeds of 500 m/min. Considering the competitive pressures existing today, this can be a grave disadvantage, although the airbrush has the great advantage that with it a flawless coating can be achieved despite a relatively sparing application.
The problem underlying the invention is to propose a device and a process with which a flawless coating of a web can be achieved. This is true especially for use with cardboard, where the surface roughness of the base cardboard is relatively great, and where other coating processes, for instance such using a blade as equalizing element, may ensue bare spots at the protruding "mounds".
According to the present invention, the coating substance is practically in the first coating application pressed on the web from the surface of the first web support roll, by means of the pressure prevailing in the press gap formed between the two interacting rolls, which certainly involves a brief deformation of the paper web. The applied or transferred amount is relatively low, and at that, in such a way that a remaining behind of solid substance particles of the coating substance is assured also on the "mounds" of microroughness. The contact pressure and the hydraulic pressure in the press gap causes a certain dewatering of the coating substance of the first coat, but the moisture content of the coating substance is retained. The "pre-dewatering" in the press gap ensures the adherence of the coating substance everywhere on the web, also on the "mounds". A certain intermediate drying before the application of the second coat is possible.
For the coating of cardboard it has been demonstrated to be favorable to only dose the second application coat by means of the grooves of a rotary doctor provided with peripheral grooving, without acting on the coat with another smoothing element. With proper adjustment of the consistency of the coating substance, a sufficient spreading is accomplished, making an additional smoothing unnecessary, which might be associated with scrape-off disadvantages.
The above mentioned and other features and objects of this invention, and the manner of attaining them, will become more apparent and the invention itself will be better understood by reference to the following description of embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an apparatus for coating a running web of paper or cardboard in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an alternate embodiment of the coating apparatus of the present invention wherein only two rolls are utilized;
FIG. 3 is another embodiment of the coating apparatus of the present invention wherein a rotary doctor provided with peripheral grooving is provided as a dosing element for the final dosing; and
FIG. 4 is a further embodiment of the present invention wherein a transfer roll is utilized to apply the coating substance.
FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view of a rotary doctor according to the present invention showing the grooves between the wire threads.
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. The exemplifications set out herein illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, in one form thereof, and such exemplifications are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any manner.
According to FIG. 1, the web W runs through a press gap formed between two rolls 1 and 2. Coordinated with roll 1, which is provided with a rubberized surface, is an applicator mechanism that features a nozzle chamber 6 and, on its discharge end, a rotary doctor 7 provided with peripheral or helical grooving and a holder 8 for the latter. The hardness of the rubber coating of roll 1 may range between 0 and 200, preferably 10 and 70 Pucey and Jones (Pu.J). The amount of coating applied in the first coating layer in the case of cardboard is dimensioned to be 6 to 40 ml/m2 preferably 12 to 22 ml/m2. The second coat may be applied using a comparable arrangement with rotary. doctor 11 and its holder 12, along with a nozzle chamber 9, but where the equalizing element may also be a blade or a smooth rotary doctor at the point 10.
The applicable consistencies, i.e., solid substance contents, range for the first coat between 50 and 70% maximum, and for the second coat between 60 and 70% maximum. It has been found to be favorable to provide for the applicator mechanism a nozzle chamber 6, 9 on the discharge end of which, near the surface to be coated, a rotary doctor 7, 11 with its holder 8, 12 is arranged. Thus, the advantage here is, over the airbrush method, that the process may be performed with a relatively high consistency overall, but especially for the second coat. The line pressures in the press gap between the two first rolls 1 and 2 range between 5 and 60 kN/m, preferably 20 to 40 kN/m.
The setup according to FIG. 2 has totally only two web support rolls 21 and 22, with an applicator device of the described type coordinated with each. This arrangement is possible in the case of cardboard because it stretches less than paper due to the moistening in the coater.
A favorable option in the case of cardboard is providing on the leaving end of the nozzle chamber 9 as dosing element for the second coat (final dosing) a rotary doctor 11 provided with peripheral grooving and a holder 12, and to omit a further smoothing element thereafter. This is illustrated in FIG. 3. With this setup, a very good coating can be obtained at relatively sparing use of coating substance.
Illustrated additionally, in FIG. 4, for the second coating device is a transfer roll 17 for the coating substance that may be used as well. A scraping by means of one of the known dosing elements is to be provided thereafter.
In a specific application area, in the case of sizing application for paper, it is possible to dose the first coat also with a blade or a suitable lath, instead of a rotary doctor provided with grooves, but the action of the blade needs to be very closely monitored here.
FIG. 5 shows a rotary doctor according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the rotary doctor is provided with peripheral or helical grooving. In FIG. 5, a wire wrap has wire threads 14 that are threaded onto a cylindrical bar 13 as a core of the doctor.
While this invention has been described as having a preferred design, the present invention can be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.

"Very Victorian Cape May" Cape May by richiecdisc
Cape May Travel Guide: 291 reviews and 535 photos
Cape May holds a charm that perhaps no other shore town in the United States does. As the oldest seaside resort in the country, with the largest collection of Victorian buildings, this quaint enclave of culture and historical significance attracts visitors for its old world feel, fine dining, and lovely nature settings surrounding it. Where else in the US can you do some world class birding early in the morning, hit the beach in the afternoon, enjoy a gourmet meal for dinner and then stroll through romantic narrow streets resplendent in tastefully lit, antique laden century old houses? Located at the most southern point in New Jersey, this throwback to a bygone era will entice you with its considerable charms, and once bitten, you'll come back often to discover more of this diamond they call Cape May.

What a coincidence! Having postponed Ecuador & Galapagos till Jan/Feb, we've just rented a condo in Cape May for a week in Sept. If I'd read your page we might have decided to do that sooner ;)
Really great Cape May pictures. Cape May is not very far from me, i should take the time to go there... i forgot how nice it is there, until i saw your pictures!
Looks like great beaches. One more place I should explore in NJ. Recent trip to Mt.Tabor..another great vict. neighborhood.
Some very fine looking old buildings here, sort of reminds me of Fredericton!! I have to agree with you Richie, September is one of the best times to explore - after the hordes have departed!
I've had some great times in Cape May -- loved your page!
Ah... the memories! I spent a summer in Cape May around 20 years ago. Glad to see it's still as beautiful as I remember it.
I didn't know Cape May had a nightlife!
Feel like I`m "on the way to Cape may"...
your Camera confirmed early morning session ;-)))
Looks really a lovely place :-)...lovely victorian buildings
