Toshiba MK01GRRB/R 2.5-inch 6Gb/s SAS 15,000 RPM Enterprise HDD Review
The Toshiba MK01GRRB/R is a top-flight enterprise HDD Series that comes in a surprisingly small form factor. Today we are testing the 147GB version, the MK1401GRRB that is in the same product line as the MK3001GRRB/R, which is the 300GB bigger brother. While 300GB might not seem to be a huge amount of capacity, for a 2.5" 15,000 RPM drive, it the highest available at the time of writing.
This small form factor allows for 2.5" HDDs such as the MK1401GRRB to provide more performance in higher density enterprise HDD applications. Increased storage density leads to less space and cooling requirements. This reduced footprint requires less rack space and floor space to provide more performance than 3.5" form factor HDDs.
Every square foot of space is crucial in datacenters, as it has to be cooled, raising the overall power requirement for the data center. One of the greatest aspects in utilizing 2.5" hard drives is the lower wattage requirements than their 3.5" counterparts. Lower wattage results in less heat generation from the device itself. Toshiba has also integrated enhanced idle spin-down power states to reduce power consumption further.
And then we come to performance. Operating at 15,000 RPM places these HDDs at the top of the pack when it comes down to sheer performance. 15K drives provide a great combination of speed, capacity and agility. With highly random workloads becoming more commonplace as virtual machines proliferate in the data center, hard disk drives that can provide increased performance are in high demand.
Protecting data is also very important, and to that end, Toshiba has provided a version of the MK01GRRB series that includes AES-256 device-level encryption without sacrificing performance. This model is denoted with an R at the end of the product SKU instead of a B. This functionality allows customers to repurpose, service, return or retire drives without long overwrite operations or physical destruction of the HDDs when critical data is in place.
At the end of the day getting more performance, higher density, and lower heat generation with less power sounds like a dream come true for datacenter administrators. Supplying a five year warranty provides customers with some peace of mind, so let's take a look and see if the Toshiba MK01GRRB series delivers on these promises.

'The Irish Rose' - Your Colorado dream vacation get-away!
***Hot Tub installed June 2013!!**
***Compare Properties By Checking the Guestbook! This is the best way to truly determine the quality of what you rent!***
**See our IrishRoseColorado website link below***
Please see the same 'Irish Rose' listing under Breckeridge--it has additional photos! Listing number is 13578.
Completed in May 2002, this mountain cabin is located on the historic Mosquito Gulch Trail. Just 15 miles south of Breckenridge, it is the perfect spot for either a secluded get-away or a ski vacation at a fraction of the cost.
Centered on ten acres of pine and aspen, the Irish Rose was designed to accommodate those who want a true Colorado experience. With Mosquito Creek flowing nearby, you will enjoy spectacular views of Pennsylvania and London Mountains as you relax with family and friends. A seven person hot tub sits out front in the location of an old historic mine if you want to relax and enjoy the view from there!
If summer hiking, biking or four-wheeling is your desire, four of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks are at your doorstep, providing some of the best hiking and driving trails in the world. Tackle the summits of Mount Bross, Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, and Mount Lincoln... all in a single day!
Gold pan on the local creeks, explore 'Buckskin Joe' trail, and visit the ghost town of Park City. The historic mining towns of Alma and Fairplay are also nearby. Mountain bike to your heart's content or drive the legendary 4x4 'Mosquito Pass' into Leadville. Pick wildflowers and view wildlife--there's something for everyone!
If winter activities are your goal, the beautiful village of Breckenridge is just a short drive north where you can enjoy premier Colorado skiing, dining, and shopping. Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Copper Mountain are also close. Or, stay near home and cross-country ski to your heart's content. We have it all!
The Irish Rose was built with families in mind. The main level has a great room with a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing the beautiful mountains and trees. It is surrounded by a huge 32 by eight foot wrap-around deck. A full kitchen and dining area are also on this level to create an open, spacious environment. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking.
There are two main level bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with double bed and trundle geared for up to three kids. The great room sofa also pulls out to a queen-size bed. The master bedroom loft has a queen bed, washer and dryer, along with a small private balcony. There are full baths on both the main level and the loft. The cabin also has a lower level with a private entrance in the back which is occupied by 'Mountain Kay', the landlord. Kay has 30+ years of experience in Park and Summit Counties. She is quiet, very knowledgeable on the local area, and can assist with anything you need. She has two old dogs who will go hiking with you if you like!
Experience the Rocky Mountains in the comfort of the 'Irish Rose.' At over 10,000 foot elevation, it's as close to heaven as you can get!
(Make sure you check out our electronic guestbook link and see what others have said!)
Keywords: Cabin/House
We are a military family who built this home in 2002 and are blessed that we can share it with others!
Rich purchased this cabin in 2002
We have long ties to this part of Colorado. The Irish Rose feels wild and secluded but is close to Alma and Faiplay, and a short drive to the mountain ski town of Breckenridge.
The Irish Rose has 10 acres of total seclusion with pine, aspen, a river, and amazing views. Many houses on the internet may look similar, but very few properties give you the total Colorado experience. Look at our guestbook and see that it will be a unique and memorable experience!
Our stay at the "Irish Rose" was nothing less than spectacular. The Cabin was well maintained and beautiful, and well equiped with anything you needed. The land that it is on was fun for exploring and hiking or just relaxing by the creek.
The area is centrally located for touring the Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak and Brekenridge, along with other scenic sites.
The people of Alma and Fairplay were friendly and respectful and helpful when looking for directions or information. Our Family would gladly stay at the "Irish Rose" again and again whenever possible.
Thank You for a wonderful place for a wonderful and relaxing vacation.
Buddy and Sharmon and family
The Irish Rose is a beautiful, relaxing cabin in a beautiful setting. It would be helpful if the directions to getting to it were more specific than 3.5 miles down the road. There were several landmarks that could have been used. Even though I had 4 wheel drive, people better have good shocks because the road is pretty rugged. But the cabin itself is lovely! We so appreciated our welcome gift with the goodies :-) The cabin is very well stocked and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the thick and fluffy towels. We were a little disappointed to hear from Kay that there were bears as it made us to fearful to take advantage of the nice Jacuzzi. We did enjoy seeing the moose, deer and fox. I am a hummingbird lover so I heard them and saw them land in trees but would have loved a feeder on the porch :-) Overall, we enjoyed our time at the Irish Rose and appreciate all the decorative touches that made it so special. Thanks for sharing!!
We had an amazing stay at the Irish Rose! Perfect little cabin in the woods with amazing views of the Rockies! The hospitality upon arrival was simply heart warming! Would definitely recommend to all my friends and family! We had an amazing trip! Thank you Irish Rose!!
My family and I had a wonderful stay. It's not everyday that you rent a vacation home where the owners and caretaker work so hard to ensure you have a great experience. The only criticism I have is the limited cookware. :-) it's a lovely quiet home and I appreciate the lack of cell phone signal.
We had a great time. All the amenities (fire place, hot tub, ect.) we're very nice. My friends and I are already planning our trip for year. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!!!
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in the Irish Rose. Had a little commute to the mountain to ski for the day but enjoyed coming home to this warm cozy cabin and relaxing after a long day skiing. Hot tub was perfect, kitchen fully stocked to make any home meal you'd like, and the fire place was on every night:)

Wong Maye-E, Associated Press
JURAIN, Bangladesh — Dozens of Bangladeshi garment workers, their bodies too battered or decomposed to be identified, were buried in a mass funeral Wednesday, a week after the eight-story building they worked in toppled down, killing at least 410 people and injuring thousands.
Hundreds attended the traditional Muslim funeral and many more looked on from the roofs of nearby buildings as the bodies, rotting in the spring heat, were brought to the graveyard on the back of flatbed trucks.
Onlookers covered their noses. One woman rushed through the crowd to the back of a truck wailing that one of the bodies was her sister's. She begged to take it as family members held on to her to keep her from collapsing.
Local men and boys recited a traditional Muslim prayer for the dead. Then, 34 bodies were unloaded and placed in the graves.
Workers at the cemetery have dug several long rows of graves as authorities expect to bury scores more unidentified bodies in the coming days.
"I would not have to take part in this if the government acted more responsibly," said Rasel Islam, a 32-year-old man who attended the burial.
Five garment factories were housed in the illegally constructed Rana Plaza building that collapsed April 24, five months after a fire killed 112 people at another clothing factory. The tragedies exposed the unsafe conditions plaguing Bangladesh's $20 billion-a-year garment industry, which supplies many European and American retailers.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis said he was shocked by a headline about the building collapse that said some of the workers were living on 38 euros a month.
"This was the payment of these people who have died ... and this is called 'slave labor,'" he said. Vatican Radio said the pope made the remarks during a private Mass at the Vatican.
EU officials said they are considering action including changes to Bangladesh's duty-free and quota-free access to the giant EU market to "incentivize" responsible management of the nation's garment industry. Catherine Ashton, the EU's foreign affairs chief, and its trade commissioner, Karel De Gucht, called in a statement for Bangladesh authorities to act immediately to ensure factories comply with international labor standards.
In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said businesses operating in the Rana Plaza appeared to have links to numerous companies in the U.S. and Europe. "We'll continue to engage with U.S. companies to discuss what role they can play in improving conditions," he told reporters. He did not give details on the companies.
Pressure built inside Bangladesh as well, as a raucous May Day procession of workers on foot, pickup trucks and motorcycles wound its way through central Dhaka demanding safe working conditions and capital punishment for the building's owner. They waved the national flag and banners, beat drums and chanted "Direct action!" and "Death penalty!"
From a loudspeaker on the back of a truck, a participant spoke for the group: "My brother has died. My sister has died. Their blood will not be valueless."
The death toll from the collapse passed 400 Wednesday, with a total of 410 people confirmed dead so far, police said.
Rescue workers expect the death toll to rise, because they believe many bodies are still buried on the ground level of the building.
There is confusion over how many people remain missing.
Zillur Rahman Chowdhury, a Dhaka district administrator, said so far 149 people have been listed missing. A police official, Aminur Rahman, said police have recorded up to 1,300 names as missing, but he cautioned that many may be duplicates. "We will now have to screen the names by computer to find the actual number," he said.

The second annual independent monitoring report compiled by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was released by the Tourism Development '&' Investment Company, TDIC, yesterday, detailing the workers welfare practices by the main contractors and subcontractors of TDIC working on active projects on Saadiyat.
Monitoring work included a review of TDIC's implementation of the EPP, Employment Practices Policy, and initial visits to contractors and subcontractors, performed between March and April, together with follow-up reviews and additional monitoring visits, carried out between June and November. In total, 565 workers were interviewed on construction sites on Saadiyat Island, representing 19 per cent of the average monthly worker population.
The EPP stipulates specific requirements on workers' welfare issues, which are based on the UAE Labour Law and, in certain areas, international labour practices. These requirements, which TDIC has continued to develop for the benefit of workers on Saadiyat Island, cover the workers' recruitment process, the contractors' employment processes, retention of passports, payment of wages, accommodation and facilities, grievance mechanisms, health and safety and EPP administration.
The report states: "Since completion of the 2012 Monitoring Programme, TDIC has made efforts in 2013 to improve worker social welfare on Saadiyat Island and increase the level of compliance by the Contractors with the EPP." The report also notes that: "Throughout our monitoring work [in 2013], TDIC and most of the contractors and subcontractors were supportive of the EPP and its objectives and facilitated the delivery of the Monitoring Programme," and "TDIC worked with us throughout the year to help resolve any issues we did identify in delivering the Monitoring Programme." Among the findings highlighted in the report was the establishment and implementation of financial penalties dependent on contractor's performance in relation to the EPP, the first of which was issued to a contractor in August by TDIC. In addition, when monitoring results indicated that a subcontractor had delayed payment of wages to workers, the company took immediate action which resulted in the subcontractor paying all their workers in an appropriate and timely manner.
Ali Al Hammadi, TDIC Deputy Managing Director, said, "We have always been committed to transparency as well as ensuring workers' welfare to the best of our abilities. We are pleased to note that in the second independent monitoring report, TDIC has made good strides in regards to our EPP. We are now studying how to best implement the recommendations outlined with all parties involved in Saadiyat's ongoing construction projects." Also, during PwC's visits, the independent monitoring team learned that 100 per cent of workers are in possession of their passports, whether in-hand or voluntarily given to their employers for safekeeping.
While overall improvements were noted in some areas since the 2012 report, the findings highlight that issues, in particular those related to workers' payment of recruitment and relocation fees to agents in their home countries, remain. TDIC is acting on this issue where possible, including the demobilisation of a subcontractor for non-compliance with TDIC's clauses related to workers payment of recruitment and relocation fees, although the report states that "full resolution of this issue is beyond TDIC's direct influence and also requires action outside of the UAE."

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

Hi, Kathy. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for thinking about me.
I don't have high cholesterol but I was prescribed a statin after my heart surgery in March. I take the lowest daily dose. Both my heart and kidney conditions are genetic, and were not worsened by any pharmaceutical medications.
I know the negative side-effects of statins have been in the news this year, but I haven't had any apparent problems. And at this time my health is constantly and closely watched. Between dialysis, blood thinner and heart monitoring, not one week goes by without at least one sample of my blood being tested.
Best wishes for you Felaine. And, I know you won't take shit from any of the medical personnel. They'd be crazy to try it with you. Really, get well soon.
I'm thinking about you, Sk8eycat, fondly. I hope all goes well for you.
Hoping the best for you Felaine.
Sk8ey - I hope this turns out ok!
EEEEK. Take care, sk8ey, and Get Well SOON!!!!!
Have I been kicked out of AN? I haven't been able to post anything today, and I'm getting ready to call for an ambulance to take me to the horsepissed-all. I can't walk (even with a walker), and the pain has become unbearable. If this post works, I'll let you know what happens whenever I can (I don't have anything like a smartPhone, so I'll be out of touch for a while.
Joan, your mentioning of Diamond Lake reminds me of all the 4ths spent watching fireworks at my grandparents cottage on DIAMOND LAKE(!) in southern Michigan. Wonderful memories--swimming, fishing, boating, sunning, eating, etc. It just occured to me that my own adult children have never heard about those glorious days, at least not from me. They know little about my childhood--never asked.
Chris, Laura's home is 50.1 miles north from my home, farther into the mountains and a higher elevation. It is a lovely rural area with lots of wild animals that present a risk for small domestic animals. The larger animals seem to survive OK. There have been bear and cougar sightings in this forest area although we have seen no signs of either one this summer.
Deer have a routine path past my bedroom windows and I occasionally see them. They move so quietly, I only notice them when I see movement in the forest. Skunks and raccoons visit us regularly. Wild turkeys come by every day or so, with young chicks getting bigger each day.

Students to hold car wash for slain officer
PHOENIX — Some at-risk students from Southwest Leadership Academy and Canyon State Academy will join with the 100 Club for a fundraising car wash.
The proceeds will go to the family of fallen Phoenix police officer John Hobbs, who was killed last week in a confrontation with a suspect.
"We're teaching our kids the pro-social values, teaching them to be givers instead of takers and to really embrace the fact that the police are here to help them," Brian Heath with Rite of Passage said.
Heath also said he wants the kids to better the community, not make it worse.
"We just want our kids to be on the positive side of what's happening in our community," Heath said. "We want to teach them to be ambassadors of their community…that's really the idea behind this."
The car wash is Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Southwest Leadership Academy near 43rd Avenue and Fillmore.

Magical picture mimicking the most famous scene from ET that took a patient photographer FOUR MONTHS to capture
- Swiss photographer Philipp Schmidle took the picture during last week's full moon, after being thwarted by the cloudy weather in January, February and March
- To make the moon dwarf the cyclist he used a Canon 1D X digital SLR fitted with a 600mm telephoto lens and 2x extender cap to shoot the picture from nearly a mile away
It is one of the most touching scenes in movie history.
The moment in ET that the silhouette of Elliott and his alien friend fly across the full moon on their way to the forest has been lauded the most magical moments in cinema.
It was, of course, the result of clever use of special effects, but now one Swiss photographer has shown how the same picture could be almost replicated with no tricks. Just a lot of patience.
Magical: Swiss photographer Philipp Schmidli waited four months to capture this breathtaking image of a cyclist dwarfed by the rising full moon
Iconic: The most famous image from SSteven Spielberg's 1982 film ET shows the alien flying across the face of the moon in a bicycle basket
Philipp Shmidli from Lucerne waited four months to capture this breathtaking photograph of a mountain biker's silhouette as a colossal moon rises on the horizon.
After bad weather thwarted his attempts to take the picture in January, February and March, the persevering photographer finally took the photo last week.
He was lucky enough for the weather to clear over his chosen scene just as the moon's cycle reached its April climax.
That scene had been decided on following hours of exploration on Google Earth, searching for the perfect location on which to frame the image, and from which to shoot it.
Since relative position of the moon changes from month to month, it meant that for every attempt foiled by the weather Mr Schmidli had to plan a new shoot for the next full moon rise.
And in order to have the moon dwarf the photograph's subject, Mr Schmidli needed a large gap between the camera and the hill with no trees, fences, telephone or power lines in the way.
'Although I live in a hilly area and know it well the choice of photo position has given me hours of grief,' he said on his blog.
'I looked at possible locations for months on site or searched via Google Earth for locations in the region.'
All good things: Bad weather thwarted Mr Schmidli's attempts to capture the image in January, February and March. He finally got the photo as clouds cleared last week
Research: The scene had been decided on following hours of exploration on Google Earth, searching for the perfect location on which to frame the image
Technique: In order to have the moon dwarf the cyclist, Mr Schmidli needed a large gap between the camera and the hill and took the photo from nearly a mile away
Mr Schmidli shot the final set of photos from nearly a mile away using a professional-grade Canon 1D X digital SLR camera, fitted with a 600mm f/4 telephoto lens with an additional 2.0x extender cap.
That means he was shooting at an effective focal length of 1200mm, PetaPixel explains. The camera was set to ISO 2500, with an aperture of f/25 and a shutter speed of 1/250s.
He communicated with his subject, fellow photographer Roger Grütter, by walkie-talkie to get him into the perfect position.
The results speak for themselves.
Mr Schmidli said: 'The aim was also to map the moon as sharp as possible, so that you can see the crater and not just a white, round circle behind.'
More examples of Mr Schmidli's work can be found on his website www.philippschmidli.com

No excerpt available.
No excerpt available.
While many of the segments amuse, and rarely wear out their welcome (the average running time is eight minutes apiece), it rapidly becomes apparent that each of them has some kind of twist, like an O Henry short story.
It's a bit too arty, and a bit too cute, but it charms and cajoles with the pluck of a native New Yorker.
The project is lush and seductive as a whole, though some segments are especially vibrant.
Because so many of the segments are about young lovers, the standouts involve people past their prime.
Audience Reviews for New York, I Love You
Patchy. Like all movies made up of many short stories, some of it is interesting, some of it may have not bothered.
Super Reviewer
The premise seemed to make for an interesting film but there was not much cohesion to it. Some of the stories are either too short or too artsy and left me with a sense of not really "getting it".
Super Reviewer
Such a great cast, such a waste. "New York, I love You" is a series of short stories about different people in New York, and their relationships. So many stories are meshed together that you really don't care for most of the characters or their situations. I hoped this was going to be a newer "Love Actually." Instead it's a collection of "arty" short films, strung together very poorly. You would think a cast that includes, Bradley Cooper, Orlando Bloom, Shia LeBouf, Natalie Portman, Chris Cooper, Christina Ricci, Justin Bartha, Ethan Hawke, Robin Wright Penn, Cloris Leachman, Maggie Q, Andy Garcia, Blake Lively, James Caan, Hayden Christensen, and Anton Yelchin would be a GREAT movie. Unfortunately, actors don't always make the movie. "New York, I Love You" I hate the yankees, and I hate you too. Don't watch this crap, no wonder I had never heard of it til I saw it on the shelf at the library,

This is a really nice box set - the book is a great coffee table book (thick!) and the box is nice. However, the discs are simply slipped into paper/cardboard sleeves, which either scratches the discs and/or doesn't secure them well, at all. When I opened up the box, about 10 discs were just lying at the bottom of the box, outside of the those sleeves. And even the ones inside the sleeves were scratched, so ALL of the discs were damaged. It didn't help that Walmart packaged this box set in a PADDED ENVELOPE! Not a box with secure packing, like it should have been. I returned it to my local Walmart for a refund. It's a shame. I really wanted this set, and the price was right! ($29.99 at the time of my purchase) Horrible manufacturer packaging and horrible retail packaging.
Paul Newman was underappreciated as an actor and was a heck of a humanitarian as well. These movies really show his range of talent.
Looks, Sexy blue eyes,Charm Style,Talent. 13 great movies, completed with a book with the story of his ascent in Hollywood to iconic star. add to that I got it on sale at a fantastic price. The only thing I missed,the basic info for each film that is on the back of the case. You have to go into the book to get it..A fantastic GIFT for any of Paul's fans including yourself. Hours of enjoyment.
This is a great collection of Paul's best movies..... only ones missing are The Sting, which is one of my favorite all time movies and Cool Hand Luke, which is not one of my favorite movies. Well maybe some others too. It was obvously designed by someone who appreciated Paul. The paperback coffee table book of photos is pure art. Great collection, great price.

Eight-year-old 'Mugly' from the U.K. wins World's Ugliest Dog competition
A Chinese Crested's short snout, beady eyes and white whiskers earned it the title of World's Ugliest Dog at the annual contest in Northern California on Friday.
Competing for fame, $1,000 and a year's worth of dog cookies, Mugly won the honour by beating out 28 other ugly dogs from around the world.
The 8-year-old rescue dog from Peterborough, England - described on the competition as having a 'lovely personality [that] outweighs his looks' - will also be invited for a photo shoot and will receive a VIP stay at the local Sheraton.
Scroll down for video of 2011's contenders
Pretty ugly: Mugly, a Chinese Crested dog from the United Kingdom has won the 2012 World's Ugliest Dog contest at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California
Surprised: Mugly's owner Bev Nicholson of Peterborough, England, bottom right, reacts to the awarded title against Dane Andrew and his dog, Rascal, and Kathleen Francis and her dog, Princess Abby on Friday
Winnings: Mugly won $1,000 and a year's worth of dog cookies after beating out 28 other ugly dogs competing from around the world
Pro: The British pooch was named Britain's ugliest dog in 2005 as well
'I couldn't speak when they announced Mugly's name,' said Bev Nicholson, the dog's owner. 'I didn't know which way to look. I was shaking as much as the dog.'
It's not the first time Mugly has been recognized for his unattractiveness. Ms Nicholson said he was named Britain's ugliest dog in 2005.
A hard worker with such a memorable face, Mugly volunteers as a Pets As Therapy Dog for children, paying visits to hospitals, hospices, nursing and care homes in the UK, while having once had his own trouble when attacked in a park several years ago by a group of thugs, according to the competition's website.
Spotlight: A woman holds her competitor for the contest that gets worldwide attention, with reporters and camera crews traveling from around the world to attend
Classes: With two competitors seen, the competition in its 24th year, judged the dogs' natural ugliness in pedigree and mutt classes
Fits the description: Wild eyes, hair and prominent tongues appeared the norm among the 28 competitors on Friday
Benefit: Not all could be winners, though sponsors of the competition raised money for several animal causes
The contest held at the Marin-Sonoma Fairgrounds gets worldwide attention, with reporters and camera crews from around the world traveling to Petaluma, about 40 miles north of San Francisco.
Organizers say the competing dogs are judged for what they term their 'natural ugliness in both pedigree and mutt classes.'
Mugly took home two trophies in both classes.
His victory was the latest for a Chinese crested, whose breed – offered in two varieties of Hairless and Powderpuff (having a full-body coat) is a regular competitor.
Last year's winner, Yoda, was a Chinese crested and Chihuahua mix described as having been found in a field by the owner's two-year-old daughter at the time.
One by one: A boy carries in a white, scruffy dog high above the audience along the red carpet
What's in a name: Icky, pictured in the arm of his owner, rivaled other dogs named Handsome Hector, Creature, Rue, Spam-O-Rama and Mouse
No 2: An excited contestant presents his dog with a red, second place ribbon
Dolled up: A dog is held up before the cameras displaying pink toenails and feathers in her hair, all permitted accessories
Pugs too: While Chinese Crested dogs, pure bred or mixed, seem always in easy supply for the competition, other breeds like this droopy-tongued pug were seen pushing for the title
Close rival: Creature, a Mexican Hairless mix, topped Mugly by one vote in the online voting category according to the competition's website
'I told her to put it down because I thought it was a rat,' she said of the scrawny 1.8lb dog with a prominently large tongue and wild yellow hair.
Yoda, who had been in the family for 14 years, died this past March.
Coming in close second this year, in online votes a Mexican Hairless mix named Creature - with a described 'unique smile' of a wide, toothy overbite - rivalled Mugly appearing one vote ahead in the voting category.
Other contestants featured dogs with names like Creature, Rue, Icky, Spam-O-Rama, Mouse and Handsome Hector - a repeat favourite from last year.
Held for the last 24 years, the competition this year was hosted by pet psychic Sonya Fitzpatrick.
Checked out: All of the dogs permitted at the fair grounds, one seen relaxing, were required to go through a vet check and not allowed to compete if sick or having any active communicable disease
Psychic host: This year's host was pet psychic, Sonya Fitzpatrick, who said she gave a reading of the animals, several seen here, who expressed excitement for the attention and no hurt feelings by considered 'ugly'
Stuffing it in: One of Mugly's trophies, one of two awarded for natural ugliness in pedigree and mutt classes, is seen during an attempt to fit it in the awaiting car
Off to rest: In addition to a photo shoot, Mugly and his owner received a VIP stay at the local Sheraton hotel
According to Ms Fitzpatrick, who provided a reading of the dogs, she claimed they all loved the attention and didn't mind being called 'ugly' in the least bit.
The contesting dogs, who all go through a vet check, are not allowed to compete if sick or having any active communicable disease, and must have proof of current vaccinations.
The contest, that's free to enter, raises money for the Rancho Costal Humane Society, the Helen Woodward Therapeutic Riding Program and the Kiqanis Foundation of Del Mar through sponsored support.
Prior winner: This scraggly mixed Chinese crested and Chihuahua named Yoda won last year's competition
Quite a find: Yoda's owner, pictured with her here, said her two-year-old daughter found the dog in a field and the mother immediately thought it was a rat

Service was great. I got an email confirmation of my order and another when it was delivered to the hotel. All of my items were there waiting for me. Selection is a bit slim, but nothing was wrong with the food or the order.
Garden Grocer does an excellent job every time. I have all of our food and drinks ready to go in our room for what I find a reasonable price.
This service made our trip even more enjoyable. We were able to have milk, juice, and water delivered right to our hotel room. I also purchased snacks and diapers so I didn't have to pack as many bulky items. Our groceries beat us to the resort! I will definitely be using this service again and have already recommended it to others.

Study: Young gay people in England twice as likely to smoke
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Interesting to note that 3.5% identified as LGBT in a good sized sample: significantly higher than the latest ONS study would have us believe.
Given class sizes are 30-35 kids, then it really is true that 'there is one in every class', as any teacher would tell you.
But, seriously, stop smoking kids ;-)
Gay people generally have no self-respect. We need to find out why. Is it society's reaction to us, or is it part of the 'homosexual nervous system'? After all, if something is not destined to recreate, is it not inherently prone to being self-destructive? The consequences to the wider society will be minimal.
The "why" is well known and well studied. If you grow up hearing large parts of the media, members of your family, your school, your co-workers, your "mates" on the sports team and high profile community figures, such as MP's, religious leaders and professional athletes say that someone like you is disgusting, misguided or, at best, a waste, that does affect how you view yourself. This applies to most (or all) minorities.
The "not destined to recreate" argument is disingenuous. This argument reduces an extremely complex issue to precisely 2 zero-dimensional points: procreate biologically or destroy – no other options available. Very old-style biblical, but not realistic. The opposite of having children is to have no children, not annihilation. I have gay and straight friends who did not, or could not procreate and most are not prone to self-destruction. I have gay, bi and straight friends who did procreate and some of them are quite self-destructive.
This supports earlier research. I'd imagine when you think about the higher probabilities of encountering bullying in social circles and lack of acceptance at home compared with heterosexual young people then it's not especially surprising. I'd imagine similar outcomes for all young people who face those issues, it's just that they're a lot more common for queer youth.
Sorry, reported you instead of a thumbs up :-) please can the Report button not be so close to the Like button?
I wonder how long it will be before homophobes call for a ban on the sale of cigarettes in the belief that smoking causes not just cancer but also homosexuality.
Tell me about it! 9 out of 10 that i was first attracted to, then took out the ciggy's. Instant turn off
yuk, yuk, and thrice yuk.
In the USA sexual orientation has been included in large health risk surveys of young people in schools for many years. It is only relatively recently this has been introduced in Britain which is providing findings which substantiate several small scale research projects on LGBT young people that have taken place across the country over the years, including my own in Calderdale.
Next month the findings of a huge survey of over 9,000 young LGBT people aged between 16 and 25 will be published by Youth Chances. I expect these findings will also confirm what small scale research (and large scale research from abroad) has been telling us for years: just how vulnerable LGBT young people are.
My question is what is going to be done about it? Many LGBT youth groups have been forced to close due to lack of funding and appropriate support. And most mainstream services set up to support young people with specific needs, such as alcohol treatment services, have no idea how to respond to the specific needs of this group.
For further evidence and more information about why LGBT young people are vulnerable and what can be done click on my name.
Evolutionary dead end. It's natural they'd want to self-destruct.
Who is this psychopath, when he's at home?
Yes as a gay young man I smoked. But I was strong enough to give up cigarettes.
well perhaps the cigs are used to groom young people
some predators might see a youngster coming out as a green light to have sex with them
also if society wasn't so judgemental then maybe 'coming out' wouldn't be necessary anyway

NBA Daily Fantasy Sports Strategy And Tips
Random DFS Thoughts For The All-Star Break
With only two more days to play NBA Daily Fantasy Sports before the All-Star break, I thought it would be a good time to put some thoughts down about DFS and some ideas for becoming a better player.
Like poker, DFS is a skill game. Yes, there is luck involved from day-to-day, week-to-week and month-to-month. But at the end of the day, the people consistently making the best decisions and tipping the scales in their favor are going to come out on top. For some, this can be a discouraging idea. To me, it's been the reason I've been so obsessed with DFS since I picked it up. Here, I'll outline some of the ways to go about being the best DFS player you can be.
Draftpot and FantasyDraft are Card Player's top choices for playing NBA daily fantasy sports contests. Right now, you can get a 100 percent deposit bonus of up to $300, as well as a free entry into a $2,000 contest on Draftpot. Readers are also eligible for a 100 percent deposit bonus of up to $600 on FantasyDraft. Sign up today!
Draftpot is changing fantasy sports by offering the same great game, just without the salary cap. With lower rakes, more sports, large guaranteed prize pools, and the biggest deposit bonuses in the industry, the site is becoming an industry leader.
With FantasyDraft's daily fantasy contests players draft new teams daily and have the opportunity to win cash every time they or their friends enter a paid contest. FantasyDraft also limits the number of lineups players can enter and pays a minimum of 20 percent of all guaranteed contests. It's easy. It's fun. It's GAMEDAY. FantasyDraft puts #PlayersFirst.
Dive In
Not everyone has the time they'd like to devote to DFS. However, if you want to be a good player, you must find time virtually every day to stay tuned in to what is going on. Whatever sport you're playing, try to have a feel for what teams are doing, which players are playing well or poorly and so on. By being aware of as much that is going on as possible, you can get a leg up on stuff that people can't see in a spreadsheet.
Find Tools
While I don't happen to personally know many successful DFS players, my hunch is that the majority of them have tools that they use to help them succeed. These tools can often be purchased online at strategy sites, or you can take the route that I did and try to develop one yourself. So if you're looking to improve your DFS game, take some time to consider what you think is important in terms of data. Then, find that information on the internet via a strategy site, or find it on your own create your own tools that can get you pointed in the right direction every day.
Develop Your Own Ideas
When I first started playing DFS, I became sort of fixed on the idea that the best players had a spreadsheet or program for each sport that simply told them who the best plays were for that day. As I've become a better player, I've realized that while many of the best players do have spreadsheets or models that help them, there are also countless subjective factors that come into play.
If you're not doing any of your own thinking or applying some ideas that you have about the game, it's virtually impossible to separate yourself from anyone else who's purchased a subscription at a strategy site or reads even the best articles. Imagine everyone in the world who played NBA DFS had access to the same spreadsheet, model or program. How would anyone win?
The only explanation is that while the model has some value, the people who win would be the people who applied the knowledge they had in conjunction with the model to come out on top. What I'm getting at is, there is no magic key. To win at DFS, you have to be in tune with what's going on, think about things more critically than the next guy, and apply the knowledge you have.
Thanks for reading. Find me on Twitter @IanJ300 with any questions.

Macy's gets a special treatment from Christina Aguilera. The retail giant which is about to celebrate its 150 years in retail this October is celebrating in a big way with the help of a number of famous stars.
Is one to lend a helping hand to mark the occasion, the singer poses for Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger, lending her beautiful self for a commemorative photo. She's photographed before a wall of white roses, wearing a cream bodice and a stunning and flowing burgundy dress adorned with green leaves. She's pictured holding roses to match her outfit.
Aguilera is joined by the likes of Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein in a series of commemorative photos for Macy's birthday. All of the photos will appear at Macy's stores nationwide in larger-than-life displays.
The announcement of Christina's involvement for the occasion comes on the heels of Jessica Simpson's just-shot holiday TV ad campaign for the famed department store. She was seen in Brooklyn last week to shoot a commercial for Macy's.

Carbon Tax - Julia Gillard
Poster Handle
Anonymous Coward
Post Content
What a load of rubbish.
I'm not a huge Gillard fan at the moment... however, she did not lie about the carbon tax. At the time is wasn't their policy, and so she said it wasn't. But after the hung election the whole situation changed (remember the 17 days without a government?)and a compromise was needed to form the minority government. Get it? She didn't lie, becuase at the time it was the truth and then things changed.
Australia is a fetid backwater of the world and Australians are a bunch of whingeing idiots. The same people who complain about the carbon tax are the ones complaining that the Government never does anything. Australians overwhelmingly wanted action on climate change - Howard campaigned on it, Turnbull campaigned on it, Rudd and Gillard have too. If a carbon tax is wrong, it won't matter cause we can always get rid of it - but we need to give it a go just in case.
I moved to Canberra so I could try and make a difference from the inside - by pushing for change where I can. If not me, then it would be some other schmuck, I thought.
