Electro-optic effect in films76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126121View Description Hide Description
High quality films were grown on in a wide thickness range of 0.5–3 μm. Significant improvement of the films' crystallinity and optical quality was observed in the presence of lead oxide for the films prepared at 650–700 °C. Strong texture of (110) type was observed in these films. The material is transparent at 350–2000 nm, indicating the possibility of its application in light controlling devices at wavelengths used in optical communication: 1300 and 1500 nm. Maximum field induced relative phase shift of 0.22 rad was measured in the film with composition of under a field strength of V/cm.
Length scales of charge transport in organic photorefractive materials76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126122View Description Hide Description
The drift length of charge carriers has a significant influence on the dynamics of the space-charge field in organic photorefractive materials. This letter introduces a relatively simple method for the determination of the drift length, which takes into account that the charge carriermobility depends on the sample thickness. By combining results of time-of-flight and holographictime-of-flightexperiments using the stochastic transport model of Scher and Montroll, the effective drift length can be determined as 2.4 μm in the investigated photorefractive glass.
Theoretical analysis of filamentation and fundamental-mode operation in InGaN quantum well lasers76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126123View Description Hide Description
Filamentation and, consequently, output beam quality in InGaN quantum-well lasers are found to be strong functions of quantum-well width because of the interplay of quantum-confined Stark effect and many-body interactions. For an gain medium, the antiguiding factor in a thick 4 nm quantum well is considerably smaller than that for a narrow 2 nm one. As a result, lasers with the thicker quantum well maintain fundamental-mode operation with wider stripe widths and at significantly higher excitation levels.
Improvement of output coupling efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes by backside substrate modification76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126124View Description Hide Description
The emission intensity of an organic light-emitting diode at normal viewing angle and the total external emission efficiency have been increased by factors of 9.6 and 3.0, respectively, by applying spherically shaped patterns to the back of the device substrate. The technique captures light previously lost to waveguiding in the substrate and, with proper choice of substrate, light previously lost to waveguiding in the organic/anode layers. A method of applying the technique using laminated films and an optical model for evaluating coupling efficiency are also presented.
Nonvolatile two-color holographic recording in Tb-doped76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126125View Description Hide Description
We have found that Tb-doped near-stoichiometric crystals have three different types of energy levels: ultraviolet (UV) absorption centers just above the valence band, shallow electron traps slightly below the conduction band, and deep traps located about below it. Using this shallow trap as an intermediate energy state, two-color holographic recording has been carried out at with a UV gating light at 313 nm. A few % of diffraction efficiency was achieved, and the measured two-color sensitivity was 0.01–0.02 cm/J. No reduction of diffraction efficiency was observed during 4 h continuous readout, and the bit-error-rate of constructed digital hologram was less than
emission in an anisotropic photonic band gap environment76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126126View Description Hide Description
ions have been incorporated into the silica skeleton of synthetic opal. The effect of the anisotropicphotonic band gapstructure upon the emission characteristics has been studied in the case where the emission bandwidth is narrower than the stop-band. Either suppression or enhancement of the spontaneous emission at the wavelength of the radiative transition has been observed, depending on the relative position of the emission band and the stop-band.
Simplified-antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide-type vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126127View Description Hide Description
A two-step metalorganic chemical vapor deposition growth process is used to fabricate antiguided vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers(VCSELs) incorporating a simplified-antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide (S-ARROW) design. Preliminary results show single-mode cw operation up to 1 mW output power from a 12 μm-diam S-ARROW VCSEL with a large lateral index step Modal discrimination in the S-ARROW-VCSEL is calculated using a fiber-mode approximation and device optimization for high-single-mode powers is discussed.
A quasicontinuous wave, optically pumped violet vertical cavity surface emitting laser76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126128View Description Hide Description
We have fabricated and studied a violet vertical cavity surface emitting laserstructure, composed of an InGaNmultiple quantum well active medium and a pair of high reflectivitydielectricmirrors. Lasing under high repetition rate (76 MHz) pulsed optical pumping has been achieved at temperatures up to at average pump power of approximately 30 mW.
Surface plasmon resonance phase imaging76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126129View Description Hide Description
We present a promising optical system and technique for detection, imaging, and visualization of minimal changes, of the order of in refractive index, in the near field. The system is based on phase imaging of excited surface plasmons in a conducting layer in contact with a sample. This technique is shown here to be sensitive enough to image the flow of helium and argon gas in a nitrogen atmosphere. Its application to biological and chemical research is suggested.

Application of carbon nanotubes as electrodes in gas discharge tubes76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126130View Description Hide Description
Gas-tube protector units are used in telecom network interfacedevice boxes and central office switching gears to provide protection from lightning and alternating current power cross faults on the telecom network. Current gas discharge tube (GDT) protector units are unreliable from the standpoint of mean turn-on voltage and run-to-run variability. Molybdenum electrodes with various interlayer materials were coated with single-walled carbon nanotubes and analyzed for both electron field emission and dischargeproperties. A mean direct current breakdown voltage of 448.5 V and a standard deviation of 4.8 V over 100 surges were observed in nanotube-based GDTs with 1 mm gap spacing between the electrodes. The breakdown reliability is a factor of 4–20 better and the breakdown voltage is ∼30% lower than the two commercial products measured. The enhanced performance shows that nanotube-based GDTs are attractive overvoltage protection units in advanced telecom networks.

Evidence of localization effects in InGaN single-quantum-well ultraviolet light-emitting diodes76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126131View Description Hide Description
The importance of doping or alloying with In for obtaining high external quantum efficiency was shown for GaN-based single-quantum-well (SQW) structures in terms of localization effects due to quantum-disk (Q-disk [M. Sugawara, Phys. Rev. B 51, 10743 (1995)])-size potential minima in the QW plane. The ultraviolet light-emitting diode with lightly In-alloyed InGaNSQW exhibited an electroluminescence peak from the band-tail states. Monochromatic cathodoluminescence mapping images of SQW indicated the presence of Q-disk-size effective bandgap variation. Furthermore, cubic InGaNQW which does not suffer from the piezoelectric field normal to the QW plane, also exhibited a broad band-tail.
Influence of gas flow stoichiometry on the luminescence of organometallic-vapor-phase-grown epilayers76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126132View Description Hide Description
epilayers were grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy using various VI/II flow ratios at a temperature of 420 °C. Cathodoluminescence(CL) spectroscopy and imaging were used to study their luminescent properties. Both near-band gap emissions (NBE) and deep-level emissions (DLE) were found in the CLspectra. We found that the width of the NBE peak and the intensity of the DLE relative peak to that of NBE increase with an increase in the VI/II flow ratio. Both effects are traced to the presence of pyramidal growth hillocks on the surface of the epilayer and to their increased density at high VI/II ratios. Monochromatic CLimages show that there are two kinds of luminescent centers contributing to the NBE. The one that emits at slightly lower energies is only found, together with the DLE centers, within the growth hillocks. The one that emits at a slightly higher energy is found from surrounding areas. The concomitant appearance of DLE centers and low energy NBE centers shows that they share a common origin. Excitation intensity dependence of the photoluminescence of the NBE centers identifies as donor–acceptor-pair recombinations.
Hydrogen-assisted pulsed-laser deposition of on (001) Ge76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126133View Description Hide Description
The growth of epitaxial on a (001) Gesurface using a hydrogen-assisted pulsed-laser deposition method is reported. Hydrogen gas is introduced during film growth in order to reduce or eliminate the presence of the from the semiconductor surface during the initial nucleation of the metal–oxide film. The hydrogen partial pressure and substrate temperature are selected to be sufficiently high such that the germanium native oxides are thermodynamically unstable. The Gibbs free energy of is larger in magnitude than that of the Ge native oxides, making it more favorable for the metal–oxide to reside at the interface in comparison to the native Ge oxides. By satisfying these criteria, the metal–oxide/semiconductor interface is shown to be atomically abrupt with no native oxide present.
Step-by-step excimer laser induced crystallization of a-Si:H76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126134View Description Hide Description
Amorphous silicon films with a hydrogen content of 10 at. % were crystallized employing a step-by-step crystallization method. Structural changes during the sequential crystallization process were monitored by Raman spectrometry. Initially, at low laser fluences a two-layer system is created. Independent of the thickness of the layer explosive crystallization of a thin surface layer is observed at confirming recent theoretical results. Crystallization is accompanied by dehydrogenation. In completely crystallized poly-Si a residual H concentration of up to 5 at. % was observed.
Heteroepitaxial growth of cubic GaN on Si(001) coated with thin flat SiC by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126135View Description Hide Description
High-quality cubic GaNfilms were grown on Si(001) coated with flat ultrathin SiC under different Ga/N flux ratios. The 2.5-nm-thick cubic SiC film proved to be an effective buffer layer for cubic GaNgrowth on Si(001). Under a Ga-rich condition, films with local atomically flat surfaces were obtained, and the x-ray diffraction full-width at half maximum of (002) peak was 19 min for a 0.82-μm-thick film. The reduced SiC surface roughness decreased the defect density in the GaN epilayers. Under a N-rich condition, the GaNfilms showed statistical roughening of the surface and a characteristic columnar structure. Under the Ga-rich condition, the columns grew up and then laterally coalesced, so that an atomically flat surface with flat areas in size from 0.05 to 0.40 μm was formed.
Cubic GaN epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on thin β-SiC/Si (001) substrates76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126136View Description Hide Description
The molecular beam epitaxy of cubic GaN on Si(001) substrates, which were covered by a 4 nm thick β-SiC layer, is reported. The structural and optical properties of the cubic GaN epilayers were studied by transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution x-ray diffraction, and low-temperature photoluminescencemeasurements. We find clear evidence for the growth of cubic GaN layers almost free of hexagonal inclusions. The density of extended defects and the near band edge photoluminescence of the cubic GaN layers grown at substrate temperatures of 835 °C is comparable to that of high quality cubic GaN epilayers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (001) substrates.
Dense arrays of ordered GaAs nanostructures by selective area growth on substrates patterned by block copolymer lithography76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126137View Description Hide Description
GaAs has been selectively grown in a hexagonally ordered array of nanometer-scale holes with a density as high as by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. This array of holes was created using block copolymerlithography, in which a thin layer of diblock copolymer was used as an etching mask to make dense holes in a 15-nm-thick film. These selectively grown nanoscale features are estimated to be 23 nm in diameter with narrow lateral size and height distributions as characterized by field-emissionscanning electron microscopy and tapping mode atomic force microscopy. The narrow size distribution and uniform spatial position of the nanoscale dots we report offer potential advantages over self-assembled dots grown by the Stranski–Krastanow mode.

A reduced complexity process for organic thin film transistors76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126138View Description Hide Description
A simplified devicestructure for depletion-mode organic thin film transistors is described in which the gate electrode and the source/drain contacts are prepared in the same process step, thus reducing the number of materialdepositions and photolithography steps. Based on the simplified devicestructure and using the small-molecule aromatic hydrocarbon pentacene as the active material, organic thin film transistors were fabricated on glass substrates with carrier mobility of 0.6 cm2/V s, on/off current ratio of and subthreshold slope of 0.5 V/decade.
p-type doping with N and Li acceptors of ZnS grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126139View Description Hide Description
ZnS layers were grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on GaAs substrates using diethylzinc, ditertiarybutyl sulphide, and triallylamine as organometallic sources. After postgrowth rapid thermal annealing, the ZnS layers showed p-type conductivity with hole concentrations up to Photoluminescence measurements gave additional indications of the presence of electrically active nitrogen acceptors. In separate experiments, lithium was diffused from a LiH solid source into ZnS layers grown without the nitrogen precursor. High-conductivity p-type material was directly obtained with no need of thermal anneal.
Influence of phase fluctuation in external environment on Coulomb blockade in an array system of single tunnel junctions/Ni nanowires76(2000); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.126140View Description Hide Description
Correlation of Coulomb blockade (CB) with phase fluctuation caused by mutual Coulomb interaction is reported in an array system of single tunnel junctions directly connected to disordered Ninanowires. At the voltages lower than CB voltage, temperature dependence of the normalized resistance is classified to the following two regimes by a phase transition temperature (1) mutual Coulomb interaction regime and (2) CB regime It is found that this is very sensitive to a diffusion coefficient (D) of the mutual Coulomb interaction, resulting in a linear vs relation. This relation is interpreted as a result of the competition between the charging energy of the CB and the phase fluctuation energy caused by the multiple Coulomb scattering in the Ninanowire. It is also reconfirmed by the wire diameter dependence of

We arrived safely in Recife and spent two days getting the run-around by various officials when trying to check in. The biggest problem was that most of the officials appeared that they had no idea what they were doing.
We moored at the Cabanga Yacht Club, which offers the cruiser all facilities they would want. However, there are no "walk-on" moorings and a person needs a dinghy to be able to enjoy the facilities.
On the Saturday morning I said my goodbye's to Richard whilst Kyle and I took a taxi to the airport - Kyle was to meet his partner whilst I had to get my flight to Sao Paulo and then my connection to Johannesburg and final flight to Cape Town.
So, I am now in Cape Town and have been busy preparing my next boat, A Leopard 46, for delivery to Mahe, Seychelles. More on this in the next blog update. John.
Well, since my last report we have had wind - a kind 12 to 15 knots which was blowing out of the east and certainly let us add on the miles without having to touch the engines. However, that was until this morning (Tuesday March 17) when it slowly started dying on us. At noon today we had 198 nautical miles to Recife and it looks like we will be doing most, if not all, of those miles under diesel power. With all the sailing we managed to do, we have more than enough diesel to complete the journey under motor.
So, the routine continues with us scheduled to arrive in Recife in the early hours of Thursday morning. Nothing on board changes and we keep working our watch roster twenty four hours a day. As we get closer to the coast we have to be even more aware of vessels in our vicinity as we are sure to encounter some badly lit fishing boats and trawlers, never mind the larger range of shipping using the coastal lanes heading north and south.
Two days ago we had a big strike on our new fishing line and Richard pulled in a fantastic Dorado. I must admit that I like the Dorado and prefer it to tuna. Nice sized fillets were done expertly on the BBQ by Richard and it really was a meal to remember. We have the lines rolled up as I think we have sufficient fish in the freezer to last a long time.
Kyle's partner, Brenda, is due to fly out to meet the boat on Saturday morning whilst it looks like I will be hopping on a plane the same day and flying via Sao Paulo and Johannesburg back to Cape Town, arriving home sometime on Sunday afternoon. Richard is staying with the boat and will be helping Kyle sail "In The Wind" up to the Caribbean over the next month or so.
So, as we still watch the flying fish take off in squadrons as we get too close to them, I and the rest of the motley bunch aboard wish you well. I will post a conclusion once we have arrived in Recife. John.
It has been hot and humid the past few days so, with flat calm seas and with no wind we have killed the engine and let the boat come to a stop. Over the side goes Kyle and Richard for their swim in the 4000 metre (13123 foot) deep swimming pool - the South Atlantic Ocean. Picture above.
Yes, today is Friday 13 but we do not feel it to be an unlucky day. Later today, all indications are that we should start picking up some breeze from the east-southeast which should develop over the next 24 hours. Already, as I type this blog report during my midnight to 3am watch, we have a dark cloud bank developing on the horizon to the northeast of us and our true wind speed has risen from 1 to 2 knots from everywhere to 4 to 5 knots from the east-southeast. Lets hope that the number 13 is a lucky one for us!
There has been some maintenance going on whilst we have had the flat calm seas. Kyle serviced both of our engines yesterday and we repaired the faulty fuel gauges which now show that the tanks hold just over a quarter of diesel. That fuel, together with the 60 odd litres in plastic drums is not sufficient to permit us to motor all the way to Recife. However, it will get us back into the wind belt over the next 48 hours and let us do some sailing for a change. At 2am (local time) this morning we only have 777 nautical miles to Recife - another lucky number. However, we will be doing a few more miles than that as we are slowly tracking further north to pick up the prevailing winds. It is still going to be a slow next few days!
Over the past few days we have had some shipping pass near us - near us means that we cannot actually see the ship but it is visible on radar and on the AIS system. Yesterday we had a tanker sailing from Nigeria en-route to Argentina pass about 10 miles away and it was just visible as a pin prick on the horizon.
Yesterday afternoon I also made up a second fishing line with a different lure in shape, colour and the way it is trailed behind the boat. Lets see if this day also brings us some fresh fish.
What today does bring is us crossing the 22 degree 30 minute west longitude meridian, which means that this evening at 6pm local time we put our clocks back one hour after crossing our fourth and last time zone for the trip. The significance or this (for us on board) is that this evening we have a double happy hour and thus two beers each instead of the normal one. This will go down extremely well with all on board due to the high heat and humidity we are experiencing.
Well, that's about all from aboard "In The Wind" at the moment - lets hope that her name plays out to be true later today and in the next few days. Regards from all aboard, John.
Well, today is Wednesday, March 11, and we have been under motor for the last 48 hours and, looking at our weather predictions, will be under motor for at least another 48 hours. There is just no wind! We have under 4 knots of wind at the moment from the east, not enough to even make our sails flap, never mind fill them and get some drive out of them. As mentioned in a previous blog report, it makes no difference if we were 200 nm north of our position - there is even just as much wind there!
Today we are going to inspect our fuel tanks and assess our fuel situation. We "think" we have sufficient fuel to get us to Recife but you will notice the "think" above. This is because we know our fuel gauges are not working properly and our calculations are based on engine hours and not what we actually have in the tanks. We do still have a couple of plastic drums of spare fuel but need to know actual tank fuel remaining.
Fishing is still a "no takers" affair. We continue to trail our line and lure but even the fish seem to be taking things a bit slow - must be the heat or the fact that, due to the dead calm sea, they can see the lure perfectly and are laughing at us as they know it ain't real. Whatever, we will get one soon, I hope.
We were all full of ourselves the other day with predicting our date of arrival in Recife. It is a bit of fun doing so when you have little else to do. However, we will have to reassess our arrival date, never mind the time, in line with the wind situation and add a day or so onto the length of our trip. At noon today we have 955 nautical miles to go but our speed there with the weather conditions we have is anybody's guess.
Well, as you mot probably realise, there is not much going on aboard "In The Wind" and boredom is the word.
Until the next blog report, regards to all from Kyle, Richard and myself, John.
Since my last post to the blog, we have had some "up's" and "down's" regarding the wind - unfortunately, more "down's" than "up's". For our Sunday to Monday noon to noon run we managed 160 nautical miles with the spinnaker up the entire time. We had a good wind, varying between 13 and 18 knots from the southeast. In contrast, we are under motor as I type this (Tuesday, March 10), with not a breath of wind out there and flat seas.
Due to there being no wind, we are all dying of the heat and humidity, both of which are high. However, what the exact temperature is, is anybody's guess as we do not have a thermometer on board. The interior fans are working overtime to try and create some form of air circulation to keep us cool.
At noon today we have 1077 nautical miles to Recife. Looking at the GRIB files we download each day, we are not going to have much wind for the next few days and a lot of motoring and motor-sailing is on the cards. At the rate we are having to use the motor, we are just going to arrive in Recife with enough fuel to motor into the harbour and to the Cabanga Yacht Club! Oh, are we all looking forward to our arrival there!
We have had our fishing line out since Friday with not one strike. I think it time to change the lure from a bright pink one to a more subdued colour as the local fish seem not to like the bright coloured variety.
Richard is our main cook on board and has the continuing ability to concoct brilliant meals - a lot of them cooked on the BBQ on the stern rail. This has an independent LPG cylinder, which is fortunate as we only have two smallish LPG cylinders for the galley stove, one of which has been empty for a few days now. We should still have enough gas for the remainder of the trip but can always turn to the BBQ cylinder if need be.
Today has also been a washing and fixing day. At the moment the boat looks like a Chinese Laundry with washing hanging on a temporary line in the cockpit and on the side railings. Kyle has repaired a badly installed pipe which injects water into the main water tanks from the watermaker and has also cut off the end of jammer for our roller-reefing line. This was so badly installed by the factory that if it was in the locked position, Kyle could not open his main hatch in his cabin. There are a number of other small problems on board that we will get stuck into once we arrive in Recife.
So, lets hope for some wind in the next few days - we desperately need a good breeze to help us along to our destination. If we do dot get wind, we will have to add a day or two onto our arrival time to compensate for our slow progress at the moment.
To all the readers we wish you well. Regards from Kyle, Richard and myself, John.

Tavis Smiley, my favorite talk-show host, presided over his 2,000th episode Friday night on PBS.
It's a remarkable achievement, in his 10th season, given the range of his guests -- actors, politicians, academics, musicians, authors, athletes, CEOs and others. It takes a great deal of preparation, intelligence and curiosity to talk show after show to icons who are so accomplished in their fields.
That, of course, is Smiley's job.
But what separates him from his peers is Smiley's generosity of spirit.
He asks good, sharp questions and he allows his guests -- and you get the feeling he looks at them as his guests in his home -- to speak their minds.
He doesn't cut them off. He doesn't look for arguments. He doesn't ask them "gotcha" questions, in an attempt to extract splashy press-release fodder. He doesn't need to do that, anyway.
Smiley wants to UNDERSTAND what makes his guests tick, what has made them achieve so much and how they regard themselves. It makes for a lively discourse. He holds conversations, not interviews, not interrogations.There is also a sense of fun -- thanks largely to Smiley's charismatic cackle. He is having the time of his life, and we can enjoy it, too, watching at home on TV.
I know what I'm talking about. I was lucky enough to appear on his show last Oct. 29, to talk about my new book, "Forget About Today: Bob Dylan's Genius for (Re)Invention, Shunning the Naysayers, and Creating a Personal Revolution" (http://jonfriedman.net).
When my publicist at Penguin asked me what I wanted to accomplish in the public-relations, I said I wanted to appear on Tavis Smiley's show, above all. It's cool to go on your favorite talk show and sit in that chair, when so many of your favorite people have appeared.
He was as nice and personable off camera as he seems to be when he is doing the show. Plus, you won't find a more professional, solicitous staff of people than the men and women who work with him.
My favorite Tavis shows feature creative spirits. But there are too many for me to recount here. Recently, I remember special moments with Matt Damon, Don Was, Carole King, Harrison Ford, Ry Cooder, Sally Field and Jeremy irons. And that is scratching the surface.
Who else but Tavis could get Prince to laugh out loud on TV?
Maybe the single most classic moment was when Denzel Washington told the public-broadcasting audience, "Keep the faith" (Smiley's signature line) -- "but send the money!"
When you watch night after night, you'll notice that Tavis is pleased to showcase people who may not be household names. What matters is that enjoy talking with him, they have something to say and memorable stories to tell. He gets inside people's heads -- on the show and at home.
And one more thing: Tavis always keeps the faith.

Glad you liked the photos -- that was the first time in perhaps 15 years or more that we managed to get the whole family together for a picture. I always like visiting my dad's hometown, but this trip was particularly great.
Edit: How do you know Agassi wasn't jacking up his sleeve à la VV? :D
Hadn't set up yet. The photographer had an amazing way of completely distracting me from whatever I was about to do, and gettin' me to smile about it. ;) :)Quote:

Spokesman Office of National Thai Police, Associated Press
BANGKOK — Three Iranians detained after accidentally setting off explosives in Bangkok were planning to attack Israeli diplomats, Thailand's top policeman said Thursday in the first confirmation by local officials that the group was plotting attacks in Thailand.
Israel has strongly accused Iran of being behind the botched plot, a bombing in India and an attempted bombing in the former Soviet republic of Georgia this week, which Iran has denied.
Citing the similarity of bombs used in New Delhi and Tbilisi, national police chief Gen. Prewpan Dhamapong said that Thai authorities now "know for certain that (the target) was Israeli diplomats."
"This issue was about individuals and the targets were specific," he said. "This was something personal."
Israel has accused Iran of waging a covert campaign of state terror and has threatened military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran has blamed the Jewish state for the recent killings of Iranian atomic scientists and has denied responsibility for all three bomb plots. The explosion Monday in New Delhi tore through an Israeli diplomatic vehicle, wounding the driver and a diplomat's wife, and an attempt was foiled the same day in Georgia.
Speaking in an interview with Israel Radio during a trip to Japan, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said: "It's clearer to more and more of the world that Iran, which is a veteran sponsor of terror, is trying to raise the bar even more, trying to harm diplomats around the world."
Israel's U.N. ambassador said Thursday the Security Council should condemn the attacks quickly.
"Israel expects it to issue a clear condemnation today, without any further delay or equivocation," Ambassador Ron Prosor said in a letter distributed by the Israeli mission.
"This campaign bears the unmistakable fingerprints of the Iranian regime and the highest echelons of the Hezbollah leadership," his letter said. "Their actions constitute a clear threat to the security and stability of Lebanon, to the Middle East, and to the many countries that have been targeted."
Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said the Iranian-backed group had nothing to do with the Thailand plot, bombing in India or the attempted bombing in Georgia.
Sheik Hassan Nasrallah gave a speech Thursday to mark the 2008 death of Imad Mughniyeh, a top Hezbollah military commander.
There had been speculation that the attacks could be revenge for the death of Mughniyeh, who was killed by a bomb that ripped through his car in Damascus. Hezbollah and its primary patron, Iran, have blamed Israel for Mughniyeh's killing.
Israel has denied involvement.
"They will know when we will avenge martyr Mughniyeh. It will not be against soldiers or Israeli diplomats or civilians. This is insulting for Hezbollah," Nasrallah said, hinting that his group plans to kill senior officials.
Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said security had been stepped up for its diplomatic staff abroad. "Security is of the essence at times like this," Palmor said.
The plot in Bangkok was discovered when explosives in the men's rented house blew up by mistake Tuesday. One suspect, Mohammad Kharzei, was paraded before journalists Thursday, his apparently handcuffed hands covered by a dark sheet.
Prewpan said Kharzei had "partially confessed" and acknowledged knowing another suspect, Saeid Moradi, whose leg was sheared off by an explosion on a busy Bankgok street.
Surveillance video showed the three men leaving their destroyed house just after the first blast. Moradi was the last to exit, and as he walked out with a heavy backpack over his shoulder, a small crowd that had begun to gather backed away, clearly terrified.

I've had 2 miscarriages in the past 6 months. I have dealt with tons of emotions and think about it constantly. I hate that I'm angry. Angry at God in a way. I don't want to be but it's like I can't help it. Just saying that I feel like I'm going to be struck down. The pain is deep inside of me and I just wish I could remove it so it wouldn't hurt anymore. I go through phases of dealing with it and then I fall apart again. I got my haircut the other day and cried almost the whole time as I talked to my hairdresser. Pathetic. But I also feel so selfish. My good friend told me yesterday that she is pregnant. She was really hesitant to tell me and put it off as long as she could. I am happy for her but so sad for myself. I just cried after she told me. Like I said I feel so selfish. I struggle with knowing what to do now. Well, I know I want a baby and feel deep inside that I have another baby waiting for me. I can't help but think about when it's going to happen. Yet I feel like I can only plan on another miscarriage. And maybe I'll never get another baby. I know I need to accept God's will because that's the only choice. Just because I want something doesn't mean I'm going to get it. And I've just prayed that if I'm not going to have another baby that I won't want it anymore. But I do want it so bad. How do I deal with all of this and keep living? I have 4 other children and I need to function. How do I deal with my anger? I don't want to be angry. I don't want to hurt anymore.
Pain & anger over miscarriages
"There is no quiet anymore. There is only Doc Mcstuffins."-Ron Swanson
God understands pain. And He gets that we get angry. And He also loves us enough to be there to help us through both.
Sorry you have gone through this. I cant imagine how much it hurts. We did infertility for 5 years and I lived in fear for 9 months once we finally did get pg.
Journaling helps, read your patriarchal blessing, and hug your hubby. (They dont always show the pain outwardly.)

When I have gone through some really hard trials where I was filled with hurt and anger, I found that there were only 2 things that could help me heal and "set my burden down". One - to get frequent priesthood blessings. I got them from my home teachers (even though I didn't tell them specifics), my bishop, my husband - as many as I felt I needed to keep leave in my life. The second thing was I found that if I "lost myself in the service of others", I could TRULY have peace and even joy back in my own life. I forgot to hurt anymore, and I slowly healed. Big hugs!! You can get through this and be whole again!

I'm so sorry! :( I have had three miscarriages and my most recent was at 18 weeks. I don't know why it happens and it's happened so much. When I first lost my daughter, the doctors said it was probably chromosomal (since I had two other miscarriages), it wasn't but at the time that information is what led me to this answer. I asked the bishop how in the world could I keep trying knowing there is a such a big chance of the baby dying. He said that I was at least giving that spirit a chance. If I stopped trying and there was a spirit to come, then they would never be able to come. As hard as it is, I want to give them that chance to come to earth. We are TTC again and I just pray we make it through.
Lately, I've been having a hard time with faith. I know what it is, but I totally don't understand how it works. So I am making an appt with my bishop and hopefully can get some direction, maybe you can do the same? Not necessarily on the miscarriage issue, but how to deal with the anger towards God and turn it into a miraculous growing experience. kwim? Big big hugs to you!!! PAN me if you need to talk about anything. I learned to never put my thoughts on a board like this because there is always someone that judges or says the wrong thing (even though they may not mean to). So fortunately I have friends who have been through this and I talk to them. Talking to my husband and writing in my journal (to my angel) helps too. It's like my mind can think more smoothly once I take out the "junk" that weighs me down. Hope this helped. Again hugs!

I'm sorry. This is so hard. :(
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. -Galileo
I am no stranger to the anger that comes after a m/c. :(
It does ease in time but it can linger. I have had to seek professional help for it twice. After my last m/c I didn't go to church for a really long time. ;(
Big big HUGS hun. I am here if you want to talk.
Mom to Justin (11) Jake (7) and 4 angels, 3/00, 9/03, 10/08 and 9/10 "My Girls In Heaven"
I've never had a m/c but I understand the "angry at God" emotion all too well. I had a situation a few years ago that made me so pissed off with God that it took me months to even be able to get down on my knees and pray.
Obviously it's not the most 'righteous' approach, but I believe it is absolutely a perfectly human approach. God could so easly fix our most difficult trials and I couldn't understand why He wouldn't. Years later, I still have no idea what I was meant to learn from that trial, but I worked through it eventually and we're on speaking terms again.
Hugs. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

What is in your (the reader)'s stable of bikes?
Usually I see dedicated cyclists (or those that have the available cash) having a road bike, a mountain bike, and a beater bike for commuting. A friend of mine has five different mountain bikes (a very lightweight hardtail, a cross-country throughbred, a downhiller, a freeride bike for slamming into/onto things at high speeds, and a beater for general use.)
My collection is growing, just bought a hardtail for commuting, and I may end up with some bikes from family members, including possibly a decent road bike.
What interesting bikes do you have? (Yes, I'm bored on an early Sunday morning, so posting this.)

In January 2012, Jamie McDonald began cycling 14,000 miles from Bangkok, Thailand back to his hometown of Gloucester, England. His aim was to raise money for the children's ward in Gloucester Royal Hospital.
In September, 2012 he was joined by his cousin, Kev Brady in the Turkish city of Batman – who came armed with Batman and Robin costumes. The pair proceeded to cycle the 1000 miles across Turkey wearing the costumes every pedal of the way.
"Initially putting the costumes on and cycling out into south east Turkey was quite nerve-wracking with all the terrorism and political unrest going on, but the response we received from the locals was overwhelming, such welcome and kindness. It also seemed to strike a chord back in the UK and the donations came flooding in."
"We then thought – we want people back home to know what an awesome feeling it is to cycle some distance dressed as a Superhero, instead of lycra! All while raising funds and awareness for a fantastic cause."
An impromptu event was set up on our return and on a cold, wet November morning 100 people turned up in full superhero costume and cycled around the city of Gloucester all together raising over £10,000.
We want this to continue and grow.

Jan 20 2011Cookbook Review!: 'Cooking For Geeks'
[GW's Note: I've set the microwave on fire twice, this review is presented without commentary by my ladyfriend]
Cooking for Geeks ($22) is not your typical, boring-ass cookbook with recipes -- oh no -- it's jam-packed with scienc-y stuff! Jeff Potter takes an Alton Brown-esque approach to scientifically explain what's actually happening to your ingredients while you cook. Reading through the chapters, you explore the chemistry behind manipulating variables within a recipe to generate different results. Potter really gets down to the nitty gritty. Don't like to read a lot? That's okay, there's plenty of pictures, charts and graphs to visually explain the information as well. Truthfully, it can get really geeky at times, like when Jeff imagines the cook as a hacker and relates the recipe in computer code, but that might work for some people.
Fortunately for me, Potter also provides plenty of tips on how to cook with alcohol, GW's favorite ingredient. Plus there are still tons of tasty recipes when you're ready to start experimenting (like a scientist!). The GW requested: the mac 'n cheese with béchamel sauce, rice congee, chocolate port cake and the poached pears in red wine and caramel. The reaction was pretty much the same across the board, and I quote "Mmmmmm! Boner boner boner boner boner!" (he's got refined tastes). Long story long, if you're a curious geek, interested in the chemistry of cooking, I'd suggest checking it out. Bon appetitties!
P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for my debut cookbook, 'Cooking for the GW', which will include many of his favorites like, "That Bomb-Ass Sandwich You Make", "Skittles for Breakfast", "Chocolate Milk Straight From the Carton" and "Whipped-Cream Titties" (his personal fave).
Hit the jump for a shot of each dish I made.

very insightful article.

That's freakin' awesome. I want this.
This morning I mixed chocolate milk with cola.
It was disgusting.
already have, worth a read
What, no pic of the Whip-cream titties? :(
I have to buy this for 2 reasons! 1: I can't cook for shit. and 2: It's just funny.
@3. Roman: I believe that drink is called a "Squirrel." My GF used to drink it as a kid.
I've owned this book for awhile. One of my favorite books on cooking. However, it is definitely written for beginner cooks, so those experienced in the culinary arts may want to skip around.
I got this book for christmas. The no yeast pizza dough is clutch. I can make fresh pizza at the drop of a hat now. No more settling for cheap dominos at 3 AM.
the second one looks like pudding and candycorn
Where in the hell is the picture of the whipped cream titties?
Not gonna lie GL (Geekologie Lady), I also expected to see some freshly made Whipped Cream Titties.
That being said, I would 100% pay (with Monopoly money) for your "Cooking For GW" cookbook. He seems to have great taste.
I'm guessing by 'ladyfriend', GW means he wrote this one with his right hand.
And whipped cream titties is an actual dish he makes with the breasts of dead hookers. SALTY BUT SWEET.
GW, I think you mean Bone Appetitties.
GW's ladyfriend should totally make a book, illustrated by herself. ;D Her art/blog is cute.

|Defensive End
|Longmont, Colo.
|High School:
|3 Letters
AT COLORADO: This Season (Sr.)—He started all 12 games at defensive tackle in earning honorable mention all-Big 12 honors from both the Associated Press and the league coaches. The coaches named him the winner of the Dave Jones Award as the team's most outstanding defensive player, and he also won the Derek Singleton Award for spirit, dedication and enthusiasm. He was one of 10 players named by the coaches to CU's prestigious Victory Club, and CU's beat media also selected him as the recipient of the Best Interview Award. He saw the most single-season action of his career in playing 711 snaps from scrimmage, posting 59 tackles (43 solo) and a team-leading seven quarterback sacks, tied for the most by a Buff over the last nine seasons. His 11 career sacks tied for 23rd all-time at Colorado. He led the team in quarterback pressures (9) and tied for second in third down stops (11). He had a key fumble recovery, as it came with five seconds remaining at Washington State, as he pounced on the ball at the Buff 2 to end WSU's threat to tie the game. He also had seven tackles and three hurries in that game, and in the loss to Texas, he posted a career-high nine tackles (with seven solo). He had eight tackles, one sack and a third down stop against Iowa State, as he was CU's defensive lineman of the week for that performance. He battled through ankle injuries much of the season, and suffered an injured elbow early in the Big 12 title game against Oklahoma that limited his effectiveness.
2003 (Jr.)—He played in all 12 games, including 10 starts, seeing time at both defensive tackle as well as end; he made eight of his starts at tackle. He played 565 snaps on the year, racking up 26 tackles (19 solo, including four for losses and two quarterback sacks). He matched his then career high of six tackles in a game twice—book ending the season as he had five solo and one assist in the opener against Colorado State and two solo with four assists in the finale against Nebraska. He was CU's defensive lineman of the week for the UCLA game, as he had four solo tackles, two for losses with a sack, a third down stop and a fumble recovery. He had a tremendous spring, as in CU's three main scrimmages, he was in on 15 tackles, six for losses including four-and-a-half sacks. He was one of 13 players to earn CU's prestigious Spring Victory Club honors.
2002 (Jr.-RS)—He sat out the entire year after suffering a nasty ankle injury that required surgery during the season. He also missed spring practice, as he was suspended from CU (by the University for violating the school conduct code), but was reinstated in good standing in June. He wound up taking his redshirt year and thus saved a season of eligibility.
2001 (Soph.)—He played in 12 games, making two starts (Fresno State and Missouri) and played 406 snaps. He had 29 tackles (18 solo), with four tackles for losses (two sacks) and a fumble recovery. He was coming on at the end of the season, with some big plays against both Nebraska and Texas (he had a tackle for loss and a fumble recovery in the Big 12 title game). He had six tackles in the win at Iowa State, and had two sacks (for 24 yards in losses) at Kansas State. A natural end, he was moved inside to play the tackle position early in the year, mainly due to the fact that the Buffs only had one returning experienced DT. He wound up playing several snaps at both positions. He got off to a great start during fall camp but suffered a sprained elbow that sidelined him for a week. He had also missed one day of practice earlier in camp due to Giardia, a protozoan parasite that is most commonly picked up by drinking out of a stream; he said it just felt like a bad case of the flu. He was suspended for the bowl game by Gary Barnett, and thus did not travel to the Fiesta Bowl.
2000 (Fr.)—He saw action in seven games at defensive end (no starts), as he didn't play until the third game of the season and had his year cut short when he suffered a dislocated elbow at Missouri in the ninth game of the year. His playing time was increasing at the time of his injury, as he ended the year playing 127 snaps and nine tackles (seven solo). He also had a tackle for loss, a third down stop and a quarterback pressure. He zoomed up the depth chart quickly upon his arrival, securing the second-team spot on the depth chart by mid-August.
HIGH SCHOOL—He earned PrepStar, SuperPrep and USA Today (honorable mention) All-America honors as a senior, and also made Prep Football Report's Top 250 list (the No. 117 player overall in the nation). Rivals.com ranked him No. 20 on its Top 100 DE list in the preseason, while SuperPrep ranked him as the No. 32 defensive end in the nation (and the No. 22 player overall in the Midlands). He earned 4A first-team all-state honors from the Rocky Mountain News (the Denver Post selected him honorable mention), but the Post placed him on its top Blue Chip list for the state. He earned first-team all-area honors his sophomore through senior years, while the Boulder Daily Camera selected him first-team all-Boulder County as a junior (defense) and senior (offense, though the Camera selected him second-team on defense). He was a three-time all-conference selection, in the Metro North League his final two years and in the Front Range League as a sophomore. As a senior, he posted some monster numbers: he was in on 107 tackles, including 25 for losses and 11˝ quarterback sacks, along with 11 forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries and nine passes broken up. On offense, playing left tackle, he had 25 pancake blocks with about 75 percent of Niwot's rushing yards coming on his side of the line. As a junior, he made 89 tackles, with 17 for losses and nine sacks, forced 14 fumbles, recovered eight, and had four PBU's. He also returned an interception and a blocked punt for touchdowns and had about 20 pancake blocks on offense (tackle). He had 60 tackles, 14 sacks and two caused fumbles as a sophomore, and 55 tackles, nine sacks and five forced fumbles as a freshman. That's 33 forced fumbles in his prep career, which saw him start all four years on defense. As a frosh, he sacked Longmont's Joe Chrisman (now at Nebraska) three-and-a-half times and knocked him out of the game. Top games included a 25-24 win over No. 1 Dakota Ridge his junior year when Niwot was No. 2; he had 12 tackles, blocked a punt for a touchdown, and had a PBU on the last play of the game to help preserve the win. He had a school record 22 tackles in a 48-14 win over Hinkley, also as a junior, and had three sacks and a 78-yard interception return for a score in the game as well. In a 27-24 loss to Centaurus as a senior, he had 11 tackles, three forced fumbles and a recovery. Niwot was 3-7 his senior year, 7-3 his sophomore and junior seasons, and 5-5 his freshman year under coach Tiny Koehler. He ended his prep career with six tackles and a quarterback sack in the All-State game in June 2000.
ACADEMICS—He is majoring in history at Colorado, and is on schedule to graduate next May.
PERSONAL—Born November 6, 1981 in Santa Cruz, Calif. His hobbies include snowboarding, motorcycles (Harleys) and working on the family ranch. He was the first commit of the 2000 class, doing so on March 7 of the previous year, fulfilling a childhood dream of wanting to play at CU since he was in grade school.

Reminder: Bethesda QuakeCon Deals Are Now Live on XBL - Wolfenstein, Doom and More
Written Friday, July 18, 2014 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
With QuakeCon in full swing, a selection of weekend deals have gone live on the Xbox Games Store, discounting some stone-cold FPS classics from the hallowed halls of id Games. That means the game that started it all, namely Wolfenstein 3D can be yours for half the usual price.
If you'd rather play something a little more contemporary, then you can snap up MachineGames' Wolfenstein: The New Order for 33% off on Xbox One, or you could grab Quake Arena for a trifling $2.49/£1.69 on Xbox 360 if you're up for some frantic multiplayer action.
And fittingly, Doom and Doom II are also half price. The next Doom title, simply called 'Doom' will be coming to consoles and PC as an "origin game" that returns to the classic run-and-gun Doom gameplay of old. It sounds great and you can read all about it here.

Battlefield 1
MurkN replied to MurkN's topic in NerdvanaIt actually looks pretty fun. I know most, if not all, of the footage they showed was from campaign, and cinematic moments in their game to make it look awesome, but even a sliver of those graphics are better than some of the games we see these days and a next generation game finally surfaces.
Next Call of Duty includes CoD 4 remaster but
MurkN replied to Zaximus's topic in NerdvanaHere's the trailer. If you didn't know it was Call of Duty you would have thought it was Star Wars mixed with Destiny. The trailer was released on May 2nd and has a massive amount of dislikes on the video. Compare that to the new Battlefield 1 trailer that just came out a few hours ago, Battlefield 1 already has more likes than Infinite Dogpoo.

Batman vs Superman on MNF Dec 19th
MurkN replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina PanthersCam and crew have faced him enough in practice and the coaches know how to gameplan around him after trying to gameplan for him for the past couple years. This won't be as interesting of a matchup as it's being hyped up to be.
I love Josh, but, realistically, his value on this team is maxed out at about 7 million
MurkN replied to frash.exe's topic in Carolina PanthersThe only way for sure we can measure Josh Norman's value is if we go into the season without him and see if we still dominate with backup/random/drafted corners or if we start letting WRs fug us like they did a few years ago.
Get to meet Ted, Kelvin and TD tonight
MurkN replied to cookinwithgas's topic in Carolina PanthersOf course not, that's one of the things that gets them into Dave's doghouse.

Nearly all business owners especially those who run manufacturing units, restaurants or processing units have had to face the problem of disappearing inventory. Most of the times, inventory disappears because of employee theft, manhandling or misplacing of items. In financial terms this is called inventory shrinkage.
Rough estimates done by brand experts across the country suggest that business owners in India lose up to 2-3 per cent of their profits because of this very problem. Though it may not seem like a significant number up front, for a small business owner who has a low profit margin it can be quite a burden. Inventory management is thus of utmost priority for small and medium business owners. Here we have five methods that can help you control inventory shrinkage.
Identify issues of potential theft
More often than not, manufacturing units and hotel owners become victims of employee theft, which leads to loss of inventory over the long term. Needless to say, you need to hire honest, hardworking people who bring with them the right ethics. If you are a restaurant owner you need to keep a watch over employee behaviour. Be wary of those who look for extra tips or have the habit of offering free food to their friends and acquaintances. For manufacturing units, installing surveillance cameras or keeping access areas well lit may solve a lot of problems.
Employees are your biggest asset
There is however no reason for you to believe that your employees are potential thieves. In fact if you are a small business owner, it will be detrimental to your business if you constantly suspect your employees. Instead, walk that extra mile to empower or involve your employees in your business, make them feel as if they are stakeholders in the success themselves. Swati Amrite, HR manager and former store in charge of Kolhapur based Swati Pulley Company Pvt Ltd points out that the training and constant appreciation of employees are a must for any business owner.
"Not only do we have a training programme in place for our staff who are in charge of inventory, we monitor their progress through our supervisors and give them points based on their performance." Amrite says. While good performance is adequately compensated, those who show a de-growth and counseled if necessary. Being involved and being there for your employees, is a must for all business owners. When employees feel taken care of, there remains little motivation to steal. Similarly restaurant owners can give out employee discounts or a fixed number of free meals that make an employee feel involved in management.
Use of effective packaging and labeling
For those in the manufacturing units, especially in that of apparels have faced inventory shrinkage, not so much because of theft, but because raw materials may have been misplaced or manhandled by unskilled laborers. Suman Bharti, founder of Corset Wholesale who runs a manufacturing unit in Gurgaon, points out that just training one's employees may not be enough, and manufacturers have to think of effective methods of packaging or labeling that makes it easier for manufacturers to identify the stock.
"Earlier, all our raw material used to come packaged in gunny bags that sometimes got misplaced because they were not put in the right place. We invariably lost out on valuable time identifying the right material." Says Bharti. In order to take care of this problem, he requested his suppliers to shun the use of gunny bags and used translucent plastics for better identification. Also adequate labeling systems were put in place and storage space was effectively used in the warehouse to take care of such problems.
Monitoring purchase
Most small and medium business owners do not realise that much of the wastage or inventory shrinkage happens because they tend to buy raw material much ahead anticipating the needs of an overbearing customer. These kind of buying on impulse can hamper your business a great deal, as it may result in wastage. Instead make sure you have put in place a system where you are completely in sync with the needs of your customers and buy only the amount of raw material that is necessary to meet your orders on time. Buying well in advance, or taking advantage of a supplier sale may not always be the best way to go.
Use Surveillance systems
Most small and medium business owners become victims of inventory shrinkage willy- nilly because they think they are way too small to even consider the use of technology or surveillance systems to monitor inventory shrinkage. While it is all very good for business owners to be humble, it is a must for them to realise the damage these seemingly small problems can do. A one time investment in proper surveillance systems or making use software packages that provide digital records with complete details of any purchase or sale from a supplier at any point of time can solve a majority of your problems.

This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: This is a well built cage. A diamond in the ruff.
Cons: None

This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: Good construction
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I am really happy with these. We have 2 running with 4 x 15K in one and 4 x 10K in the other - both in one system. running on an IBM 5014 array controller. Works just as advertised.

Bad Construction
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: Strong metal drive bay construction. Easy to mount drives onto the caddies. Includes SATA cables.
Cons: Bad internal wiring. Loose molex connectors.
Other Thoughts: I purchased this for my gaming system to put in a couple SSDs and HDDs in a hot-swap solution. Unfortunately I seem to have gotten a bad unit. The two molex connectors were pushed inside the unit itself, making it very difficult to get power to the drives. When I was able to attach the molex connectors correctly, not all of the drive bays would receive power. I was very disappointed with this device, and will be returning this back to Newegg.

Fragile Molex attachment!
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: Same pro's as most other 4 x 2.5" drive --> 1 x 5.25" bay SAS/SATA adapters. Holds four small drives. Has cooling fans included. Hot plug / hot-swap capable.
Cons: Poorly-mounted molex 4-pin power connectors bend back into the case when you try to plug power into them. The plastic pins that are supposed to hold the connectors in place are just loose, so they slide up out of the PCB as you push in and the connector rotates up and back into the device.
Other Thoughts: I was able to bend the molex connectors back using needlenose. They are PCB-mounted right-angle connectors that have 90-degree angles in the posts that support them. When the plastic mounts slide up, those 4 posts bend. I'm hoping that nothing was damaged b.c. I don't want to deal with RMA. Fans and bays work, so I seem to be ok.

Really nicely manufactured
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: The other reviewers are correct, this item is extremely well-made. Sturdy & comforting. I would have NO problem putting these into high-performance environments. Other ppl complained about the fans, but I can't her them at all, and my PC is pretty quiet. Others also complained about the LEDs but they seem fine to me. I can clearly distinguish the Green activity LED.
Cons: I couldn't get the drives to appear in my bios at first, but I plugged & unplugged them a couple times and they showed up. Maybe have to push a little harder.

Great 2.5" Cage
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: Good design and construction. Everything comes apart with screws for customization. Plenty of airflow around HDDs.
Cons: Activity light is too dim. Fans are loud.
Other Thoughts: I only have 7200rpm drives and have power management enabled therefore I was able to open and disable both fans without any side effects. The case itself gets plenty of airflow over the disks without the fans at all. It would have gotten 5 stars if the fans were silent. I haven't tried it but suspect that 10k drives would work just fine without the fans as well as long as they're not spinning 24x7.

Great piece of kit
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: Well-built, much better than other 4-in-1 devices I've read about or seen. Except for the clips, it's metal. Dual power plugs, SATA and SAS connectors...it has everything you should need.
Cons: Two minor cons:
Other Thoughts: Spend the extra money on this.

Great Construction
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: Great construction, easy to access drives, will be great when I migrate to ssd drives.
Cons: The activity led is sometimes faint...
Did you find this review helpful?
Great drive bay
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: Holds four 2.5 drives, perfect for a RAID10 /. Looks like you can do the multi-path SAS on this, though I don't use this technology in my workstation. The sleds for the drives are pretty nice construction. Aesthetically this thing is sharp looking.
Cons: If your bay is anything less than the full 5.25, it may be a snug fit. I had to actually bend some metal inside my case, but that's because it's a consumer case. Anything you buy as a separate case will likely not have this issue.
Other Thoughts: I haven't really seen any other available 4 bay 5.25 inch containers that appear to be as good construction as this, so it's kind of a no-brainer if you're on the market for one.
Did you find this review helpful?
Superb quality in its class
This review is from: XClio SS014 4 x 2.5" HDD in 1 x 5.25" Cage
Pros: EXCELLENT build quality, especially if you have used cheaper RAID cages before.
Cons: Can't think of a thing. I would buy more in a heartbeat. I have had these in service for awhile now, and have had no problems. Not really a con, but it would be nice if, instead of four individual cables, it came with the cables that connect 4 individual SATA cables to a RAID controller, since that is the most logical way these cages would be employed.
Other Thoughts: I installed two of them in my XW workstation with 8 15K drives in them, and they are VERY quiet. I had previously had some cheap cages in there, and the difference is staggering. No vibration, no weird noises...even with all those drives it sounds (almost) like a normal computer.

Pehle main khiladi tha, ab main poora khel hoon. Akshay Kumar plays the gangster, Shoaib Khan who has come to conquer Mumbai once again. He is a womanizer, the world bows down to him and he brings back the essence of the villains of old times who actually spoke 'dialogues'.
The entire description of Shoaib's character is in this one dialogue which he very proudly says, "Peene ki capacity, jeene ki strength, account ka balance aur naam ka khauf kabhi kam nahi hona chahiye".
As much as I loved Emraan Hashmi as Shoaib in the previous instalment, I could not relate to this Shoaib played by Akshay Kumar in this one. There was a disconnect. This Shoaib did not scare me. We all know Akshay Kumar is unbeatable when it comes to action and comedy, but being an antagonist is not his cup of tea. One major disappointment about Kumar here is his look. Rather than looking suave in the suits he's wearing, the big collar 80's look is not suiting him at all and in many parts makes him look comical.
Inspite of all these short comings, it's a delight to watch Khiladi Kumar jump buildings again and shoot the goons. Well, you do feel he's back and you missed him.
Imran Khan (Aslam) who plays Shoaib's protege in this part
is the weakest link in the entire plot. The effort being put by the youngest
Khan is evident but somehow that does not convert into anything that we are
looking for. Imran looks good but then that's about it. Aslam loves
Shoaib more than his life and his ready to do anything for him but when Jasmine (Sonakshi Sinha), an upcoming starlet enters his life, his world changes. He falls in love and well that's the beginning of the war between the master and the protege. Its personal this time.
Well, for me Sonakshi has done a wonderful job after Lootera in OUATIMD. She's looks a damsel and acts well. While Sonakshi is the heroine of the film, Rajat Arora is the star of the show. The dialogues are the backbone of film. They have been written perfectly to suit every situation in the film. Bow down to you…
The music of the film is good. The song Chugliyaan is a treat to the ears. The background score of the film is one of the reasons for the excitement to build up before every scene though. But there are parts in the film where I really wish Akshay Kumar would ace it. But unfortunately that did not happen. I was so looking forward to it.
Anyway, the film's duration is decent and it ends without a drag. But more about Shoaib's gangster activities could have been shown to make the plot even more interesting. More or less Shoaib seems like just another womanizer and not a guy I would be terrified of.
The second half of the film is way better than the first half because yes, you do get to see some action, some chasing in it.
Milan Luthria raised the bar too high for himself with Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai which the second instalment of the film is unable to achieve. It leaves you dry. The end is neither heroic nor villainous. Do not go with a lot of expectations for this one. You will be left disappointed.

I was reading - Bicycling magazine's 1,000 all-time best tips : top riders share their secrets to maximize fun, safety, and performance / edited by Ben Hewitt, the other day.
One of the hints to riding in traffic was something along the lines of, "Be wary when you hear a car behind you approaching playing loud rap music."
Personally, if I hear someone blaring heavy metal, new country, Rush Limbaugh/Michael Savage, or hell, Wagner's Ride of the Valkries, I'm going to be wary. Loud rap music, though, that's when you really have to be vigilant. Thanks Bicycling! *sarcasm*

The "Jelly Bean Lottery": An Experiment in Tepidness
The Reagan administration made good on its promise to try the lottery in the second formal press conference, on March 6, 1981, thirty-six days after the opening salvo.
Correspondents who wanted to ask questions put their names on cards that were put into the president's jelly bean jar. Before the news conference, forty names were drawn; those reporters were allowed to ask questions in the order they were drawn. 1 Senior wire service correspondents asked the first two questions, outside the lottery. Reporters were allowed to follow up their own questions.
The press conference was "rued as an experiment in tepidness." 2 UPI's Thomas said, "I think old style pandemonium is preferable." 3 ABC's Donaldson concluded, "It's the President's news conference and he can run it as he pleases, but I'm opposed to that format." 4
Ronald Reagan did not like the format either, and it was never attempted again. On June 16, at the end of the third press conference, this exchange took place between the president and Donaldson. After the customary "thank you," the president turned to Donaldson.
Reagan: We're out? Sam, you told me that it was alright about walking away from all those upraised hands and I have to tell you, it still bothers me very much. I'm sorry that we can't answer all the questions.
Donaldson: But you will, sir.
Reagan: No, I know I can't. I know I can't and I'm sorry.
Donaldson: Do you like it better than the lottery, Mr. President?
Reagan: Yes.5

- No, it's not a figment of your imagination; your package really does include winter-warmer hot toddy in the cocktail bar on arrival, a luxury signature dessert each to celebrate the hotel's 50 years in hospitality, and a sumptuous breakfast come morning.
- The hotel has conjured up €20 spa credit each for any treatment over 55 minutes or a golf credit each if you prefer.
- Late checkout at 1 p.m. means there's plenty of time to surrender to such flights of fancy.
