Palm Beach Dressage Derby CDI-W Draws Competitive Field of Olympians
RELEASE: February 28, 2013
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: Mary Adelaide Brakenridge for Phelps Media Group, Inc. International
Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfvén and Divertimento
Wellington, FL
- The prestigious Palm Beach Dressage Derby consistently attracts top dressage riders from around the world, and its 2013 edition is no exception. The 30th year of the Dressage Derby, held Feb. 28-Mar. 3 at Equestrian Estates in Loxahatchee as part of International Horse Sport Palm Beach's winter series, has drawn an international cast of competitors, including many who have represented their countries in the Olympic Games.
The Dressage Derby's Grand Prix CDI-W features six Olympians who have competed for four different countries over the past two decades. Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfvén has represented Sweden an impressive six times at the Olympics, competing at every Games since 1992. In that time, she has had several top finishes, including 12th place individually at the 2008 Games and 11th individually in 2012.
Vilhelmson-Silfvén has racked up numerous wins in South Florida this winter. With Don Auriello, she rode to the championship at the Jan. 23-27 World Dressage Masters CDI5* and two wins at the Feb. 14-17 Florida Dressage Classic CDI-W. She and Divertimento, whom she will ride in the Dressage Derby, have put together a stellar string of finishes, placing consistently in the top three at the Gold Coast Opener CDI-W (Jan. 17-20), Wellington Dressage CDI3* (Jan. 31-Feb. 3), and Florida Dressage Classic CDI-W.
David Marcus of Canada made his Olympic debut in 2012 on Chrevi's Capital. Marcus, a relative newcomer to the international dressage scene, has quickly established himself as a top contender. He and Chrevi's Capital recently collected wins in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Freestyle at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival's Wellington Dressage CDI3*.
Don Kontes, Marcus' mount for the Dressage Derby, has also had a successful start to his season, winning the Freestyle and taking second in the Grand Prix at the Jan. 23-27 Wellington Classic Dressage Sunshine Challenge CDI3*.
Jacqueline Brooks, who rode with Marcus on Canada's 2012 Olympic dressage team and also competed at the 2008 Games in Beijing, is bringing her London mount D Niro to the Dressage Derby. The pair has earned third place finishes in several Grand Prix competitions on the South Florida circuit this season, including the Grand Prix Special at the World Dressage Masters CDI5* and the Freestyles at the Wellington Dressage CDI3* and the Florida Dressage Classic CDI-W.
A third Canadian Olympic team member, Evi Strasser, brings her extensive international experience to the Dressage Derby field. Along with her 1996 appearance at the Olympics, she has often represented Canada on the international stage and earned a team Silver Medal at the 2003 Pan American Games. Strasser will ride Action Tyme in the Dressage Derby.
Denmark's Lars Petersen also rode in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, where he earned an impressive 12th-place finish in the individual competition. He will ride Mariett in the Dressage Derby. Petersen and Mariett recently picked up wins in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special at the Feb. 7-10 Wellington Classic Dressage Spring Challenge CDI3*.
Cesar Parra, who now rides for the United States, rounds out the elite group of Olympians competing at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby. Parra rode for Colombia in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, but has since become a United States citizen. He and Van the Man won the Grand Prix Special at the Gold Coast Opener CDI-W earlier this season.
With such a talented group of riders assembled, the Palm Beach Dressage Derby promises to be a highly competitive event. John Flanagan, the Advertising and Sponsorship Director of the Derby, is pleased with the high caliber of riders in the field.
"We're looking forward to welcoming the six-time Olympian, Tinne Vilhelmson-Silfvén, back to the Dressage Derby," Flanagan said.
Other upcoming International Horse Sport events include the March 21-24 International Horse Sport Champions Cup CDI-W and the March 28-31 Dressage at Equestrian Estates CDI3*.

This invention is a laminate material of tri-extruded three-layer film. The three-ply film gives the final laminate material of unusual strength. The middle layer of the film is a combination of the olefins, linear low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, propylene and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber. The two outer layers of the three-ply film are of linear low density polyethylene and an effective amount of ultraviolet light stabilizer. Two thicknesses of the three-layer film are coated on one side each with a pressure sensitive, flexible adhesive. On one thickness of film which has been coated with the adhesive a diamond pattern grid of nonwoven filament is laid so that it covers the entire area of the finished laminate. The diamond grid is formed by laying the fibers at about a 45� angle to either side of the machine axis of the film so that a crisscrossed pattern is in the film laminate. The two films are then contacted together on the adhesive coated side with the nonwoven yarn in a diamond pattern in between. The material is then rolled and forms the reinforced laminate. The resultant reinforced laminate is a very tough, tear and puncture resistant material with the adhesive and reinforcing nonwoven filament or yarn between the two thickness three-layer film. The three layers of the film are not readily discernible upon an unaided visual inspection although the diamond grid of nonwoven yarn is apparent. The inner layer can also include color additives depending on the preference of the user for particular application.
In addition to the tear and puncture resistance, this material is lightweight and easy to handle as protective covering for large equipment and storage or shipping of bulky items. It can be manufactured into bags or tubes with heat-sealed seams which are as strong as the material. The bags can be used for heavy or hard to handle items such as spikes or ball bearings.
Another object of the invention is to provide a storage or packaging material which is a superior vapor barrier. The material performs as an outdoor covering in the environmental elements for at least 30 months.
Another object of the invention is to provide a superior laminate with a fire retardant additive in the construction of the material.
A further objective of the invention is to provide an unusually strong polymer laminate material which can be fabricated easily for many shapes, sizes and colors and which can be varied to increase stiffness, toughness and strength properties.
FIG. 1 is an enlarged cross-section view of one thickness of the three-layer film.
FIG. 2 is a view of the laminate with the upper layer of film peeled back to show the reinforcement filament webbing.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-section through a filament showing the layers of the laminate.
FIG. 4 is a view of a sheet of the material and the diamond pattern of the filament.
In the packaging and storage industry various density and thickness of polymer film of polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and other polymers have been used. These materials are lightweight, easy to handle, but have the drawback that once punctured or torn have a tendency to continue to rip and increase the tear. To remedy the problem with tearing reinforced polymer films were developed. These materials provide high tear and impact strength and low water vapor permeability and include the non-tacky tear resistant material shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,214,320 and marketed by the Applicant under the trademark Griffolyn�. Companies other than the Applicant are marketing reinforced single-ply material such as Maka, a product of Max Katz Bag Company and Polyscrim, a product of Poly Plastics Design Corporation. This material is similar to the present invention with the significant exception of not having the three-ply co-extruded film used with the nonwoven grid. The earlier reinforced products used films of polymers such as polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, or others. The laminae on either side of the grid or web could be varied as to thickness or type of polymer, but the laminae were of a single-ply construction. Although the two-layer laminate with the nonwoveh web was more effective in preventing or minimizing tearing than a non-reinforced single-ply film, these materials do not possess the strength characteristics of the present invention of two-layers of reinforced three-ply film.
The film from which the laminate is made is a three-layer or three-ply film. The film has been prepared as a tri-extruded blown film in the preferred embodiment, but could be manufactured by alternative methods which follow the same guidelines of components described herein. The three-layer co-extruded film contributes to the significant strength and toughness characteristics which, when compared with other reinforced laminates, is superior in tear tests, outdoor weathering, tensile strength and other significant characteristics for polymer products.
The film has a middle layer of a mixture of polyolefins. The composition of the middle layer is of the following olefins in approximate percentage of weight with respect to the total weight of the middle layer which include linear low density polyethylene from about 10% to about 25%, high density polyethylene from about 14% to about 35%, polypropylene from about 20% to about 50% and ethylene-propylene-diene rubber from about 5% to about 15%. The content of the middle layer can be varied for the end use desired. The high density polyethylene can be increased to increase stiffness of the product to maintain a shape. Other components can be varied to achieve desired tensile strength. The middle layer can contain other additives for desired product use. The middle layer can contain a color additive in effective amounts. The color additive is generally a coloring agent highly concentrated in one of the polyolefins components of the middle layer. Also, the fire retardant agent may be included in the middle layer. An ultraviolet stabilizer may also be included in the middle layer in some cases although it is generally added to the outer layers.
The layer on either side of the middle layer is a linear low density polyethylene generally with an effective amount of ultraviolet stabilizer. The low density polyethylene is amenable to heat sealing which is necessary for fabrication purposes. Also, the low density polyethylene has a good surface appearance. In FIG. 1 there is an enlarged cross section of the three-ply, tri-extruded film of one embodiment prior to lamination. The layers 10 and 11 are the linear low density polyethylene layers with middle layer 12 as the combination polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene-diene layer. The layers of linear low density polyethylene need to be thick enough to provide an effective heat sealing layer for the film. The range of weight of outer layers of low density polyethylene to total weight starts at about 5% per outer layer for effective heat sealing capabilities. As the thickness of the outer layers 10 and 11 are increased relative to the middle layer 12 there is a decrease in the toughness, strength and stiffness contributed by the middle layer of the film. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 the outer layers 10 and 11 comprise about 10% each of the total thickness while the middle layer 12 is about 80%. The 10% outer layers give good heat seal qualities and the middle layer of about 80% gives the strength, toughness and stiffness qualities.
The actual thickness of the film can be varied depending on the usage desired. FIG. 1 is to show the relative thickness of the three layers and is not intended to indicate a particular scale of size. The thickness is relative to the strength, toughness and stiffness required as compared to the weight desired. A thicker, heavier film will be tougher, stronger and stiffer. A 2.0 mil thick film has shown the desired qualities when used in the laminate and yet has a low weight so that the material is easy to handle. The upper level of the film thickness would be limited by weight, handling characteristics and manufacturing capability. The usual applications would be in the 2.0-4.0 mil range for the three-ply film. The thickness of the outer layers of linear low density polyethylene should total about 0.5 mil which is required for adequate material for heat sealing.
In fabricating the laminate two thicknesses of the three-layer film are coated on one side with a pressure sensitive, flexible adhesive. The adhesive should be used in an effective amount to prevent delamination. The filaments are laid in a diamond pattern on one thickness of film that has been coated with the adhesive. The filaments are laid down in two sets of parallel rows of about a 45� angle to either side of the longitudinal axis of the machine. The parallel rows intersect at about 90� angles to give the diamond grid pattern. The fibers are not interwoven and can be laid on top of each other. In FIG. 2 a closer cross section of the final material is shown with one thickness of film peeled back to clearly see the grid. As shown in FIG. 2, filaments 13 and 14 are laid one on top of another and do not interlock or interweave with each other in the other strands shown in FIG. 2. After the nonwoven filaments are laid on an adhesive coated thickness of the film another thickness of adhesive coated film is contacted to the first thickness which has the grid in place. The material is rolled and produces a laminate, part of a typical sheet 23 which is shown in FIG. 4.
FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross section through a filament to show the various layers of the laminate. Filament 15 is in the adhesive layer 16 between two facing films 17 and 18. The facing film layers 17 and 18 have middle layers 19 and 20, respectively. On either side of the middle layer 19 are the outer thinner linear low density polyethylene layers 21a and 21b. The pressure sensitive adhesive was coated on layer 21b. Similarly middle layer 20 has outer layers 22a and 22b on either side. The pressure sensitive adhesive was coated on layer 22a. The filament diamond grid could be laid on layer 21b or layer 22a which are both coated with adhesive.
The reinforced film laminate of the invention gives a material which can be used as a protective covering or packaging which resists tears and punctures as well as abrasions caused by sharp corners of materials or irregularly shaped equipment. The total thickness of a typical final laminate with two layers of film about 2.0 mil each and a layer of adhesive with the diamond grid in the middle is about 4.5 mil. The weight of this material is extremely light at about 22.75 pounds per 1000 square feet. A typical 12 foot by 20 foot tarp weighs only about 5.5 pounds. The material is much easier to handle by personnel due to the lightweight. A heavier canvas material is more expensive and harder to handle. The reinforced laminate has an outdoor weathering time of at least 30 months. Other properties of a sample of 4.5 mil thickness with black color additive are shown in TABLE 1.

In addition to the packaging and protective covering products, the material is also suitable for tubing for delivery of air in the form of duct work for buildings or mines. The material is suitable for aeration tubes for commercial fisheries.
A reinforced laminate was produced by first making a tri-extruded blown film of three layers. The middle layer is composed of a mixture of polyolefins which are by weight of the middle layer linear low density polyethylene film grade about 18%, high density polyethylene co-extrusion resin about 28.5%, polypropylene co-extrusion resin about 40%, ethylene-propylene-diene rubber about 10% and black film grade carbon black concentrate in linear low density polyethylene about 3.5%.
This color additive gives a black final product. The color additive is manufactured by Ampacet Corporation, U.S. Industrial, Inc. and others. It is a carbon black additive suitable for polyolefins and readily available commercially. The ethylene-propylene-diene rubber is commercially available from DuPont under the family trade name Nordel. The Nordel ethylene-propylene-diene rubber preferred for this embodiment are those with a Mooney viscosity of about 40 to about 70 and melt flow at 230� F. with a 2.16 kg weight from about 0.15 g/10 minutes to about 0.25 g/10 minutes and with a 10 kg weight from about 2.0 g/10 minutes to about 2.4 g/10 minutes. Other commercially available equivalents may be used.
Two outer layers co-extruded on either side of the middle layer and are composed of about 98.0% linear low density polyethylene film grade and about 2% ultraviolet stabilizer concentrate. The ultraviolet stabilizer concentrate is prepared by blending the stabilizer in polyethylene. The concentrate normally contains about 10% by weight of ultraviolet stabilizer. The concentrate is added such that it accounts for 2% by weight of the total formulation. The ultraviolet stabilizer is from a family of hindered amines. A preferred commercially available ultraviolet stabilizer is Chimassorb 944, a trade mark of Ciba-Geigy. The middle layer accounts for about 80% of the total film while the outer layers are about 10% each. Two thicknesses of the three layer film are coated on one side with a pressure sensitive, flexible adhesive. The adhesive is coated in about two ounces for ten square feet of film. On one thickness coated with the adhesive a nylon multifilament 460 denier with a Z twist is laid out in a diamond pattern grid. The grid is formed by filaments in two substantially parallel sets laid at 45� angles to either side of the machine axis. The strands are laid out and spaced about 0.5 inches apart. The two thicknesses of the film with the adhesive and reinforcing grid in between are passed between pressure rollers to form the laminate.
A clear reinforced laminate is produced by making an extruded blown film of the following described three layers. The middle layer is composed of about 40% polypropylene co-extrusion resin, about 28.5% high density polyethylene co-extrusion resin, about 18% linear low density polyethylene film grade, about 10% ethylene-propylene-diene rubber of the type previously described in Example 1 and about 3.5% ultraviolet stabilizer as described in Example 1. The two outer layers co-extruded on either side of the middle layer are composed of approximately 96.5% linear low density polyethylene film grade and about 3.5% the ultraviolet stabilizer as described in Example 1. The middle layer is about 80% of the total weight and thickness and the inner and outer layers are approximately 10% of the total weight and thickness. The total film thickness is 2.0�0.2 mils thick. The application of the adhesive and the nylon reinforcement diamond grid and laminating is as described in Example 1.
A reinforced laminate colored white is the composition of this example. A tri-extruded blown film is prepared of three layers. The middle layer is composed of 40% polypropylene co-extrusion resin, 28.5% high density polyethylene co-extrusion resin, about 7% linear low density polyethylene film grade, or about 10% ethylene-propylene-diene rubber of the type described in Example 1, about 3.5% ultraviolet stabilizer concentrate described in Example 1 and about 11% white color concentrate of titanium dioxide in low density polyethylene, which is commercially available from Ampacet Corporation and other sources. The two outer layers are composed of about 96.5% linear low density polyethylene and about 3.5% ultraviolet stabilizer concentrate described in Example 1. The middle layer is about 80% of the total weight and thickness and the inner and outer layers are approximately 10% of the total weight and thickness. The total film thickness is 2.0�0.2 mils thick. The application of the adhesive and the nylon reinforcement diamond grid and laminating is as described in Example 1.
This example is of a fire retardant reinforced laminate that contains particular additives to give the desired properties. A tri-extruded blown film of three layers is prepared with a middle layer of about 37% polypropylene co-extrusion resin, about 26% high density polyethylene co-extrusion resin, about 9.5% ethylene-propylene-diene rubber of the type described in Example 1, about 3.5% ultraviolet stabilizer concentrate described in Example 1 and about 24% fire retardant extrusion coating Product Number 11371 by Ampacet Corporation. The fire retardant additive is a proprietary formula of Ampacet Corporation and is used in polyolefins. The composition includes effective amounts of antimony trioxide and organic bromide and is contained in a linear low density polyethylene masterbatch. The outer layers of the tri-extruded film are about 96.5% linear low density polyethylene film grade and about 3.5% ultraviolet stabilizer concentrate described in Example 1. The fire retardant materials affect the ultraviolet stabilizer such that the outdoor weathering of the material is decreased to about six months. The rest of the properties on toughness, strength and stiffness are essentially unchanged. The further preparation of the laminated product and filament reinforcing is the same as Example 1.

Buster Olney on M&M: 'I don't understand the logic' of pitching to David Ortiz
|10.30.13 at 1:55 pm ET
ESPN's Buster Olney joined Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to preview Game 6 of the World Series, and recount Game 5 as well.
The Red Sox and Cardinals meet on Wednesday at Fenway Park with Boston one game away from winning the Fall Classic after Monday's 3-1 win. Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright opted to pitch to David Ortiz, and like he's been doing all postseason, Ortiz made the opposition pay, this time with three hits, including an RBI double in the first inning, to up his World Series average to .733.
'This is like choosing between, do we want to let the other team give the ball to Michael Jordan or Will Perdue, right? Because Ortiz is that good, and he's basically getting hits at the same rate that Michael Jordan hits jump shots,' Olney said, adding: 'I don't understand the logic of pitching to him.'
After St. Louis' loss, Wainwright revealed that it was his decision, and not manager Mike Matheny's to pitch to Ortiz.
'You understand why Matheny has trust in Wainwright,' Olney said. 'But I think you have to take it out of the hands, especially when you're talking about one of the best pitchers in the world, probably the best defensive catcher in the world, because both those guys, their instinct is, 'We're going to solve this problem. I'm going to find a way to get David Ortiz out.' '
Michael Wacha and John Lackey face off for the second time in the series on Wednesday. Wacha beat Lackey in Game 2, 4-2. In that game, the rookie threw 65 fastballs, 39 changeups and 10 curveballs. Seven of those changeups induced swinging misses, the highest number of whiffs among the three pitches, according to brooksbaseball.net.
'That, to me, is going to be the interesting adjustment, to see if the Red Sox find something where they will use that piece of information, because that was such an effective way for Wacha to pitch in the first time that he faced them,' Olney said. 'That's the pitch to me, the inside changeup, that I think you might see the Red Sox hitters stalk a little bit.'
If the Red Sox lose Game 6, they'll likely look to Jake Peavy in Game 7, although Felix Doubront's performance this postseason has at least made the Game 7 starter a debate.
'A week ago, Felix Doubront was basically forgotten, now he's their second most important reliever coming in,' Olney said. 'I think [Doubront] has more value coming out of the bullpen.'

The animation was smooth and the sound synced up quite well. The voice acting was good, and so was the sound quality. Overall, I thought it was pretty funny. :)
Here are some gripes for you:
-Needs a play button before the animation
-Needs a replay button after the animation
-After the animation, there should be some text somewhere that says, "Created by Shreddicus"
4 stars for being funny AND tasteful!
animation needs some work, but i think it has some creativity.
I have never laughed so hard at a video so short.
What's funny about this comment is how you said "at" rather than "from" xD but thanks mate I really appreciate it.
In all fairness, this is hilarious, yet has some truth behind it. Nice work.
this was just very bad

One-Dimensional Hierarchical Structures Composed of Novel Metal Oxide Nanosheets on a Carbon Nanotube Backbone and Their Lithium-Storage Properties
Some facile solution methods are developed to directly grow anatase TiO2 nanosheets with exposed (001) facets and SnO2 nanosheets onto a carbon nanotube backbone for the first time. TiO2 nanosheets can also be grown on SnO2@CNT coaxial nanocables. An electrochemical investigation shows that these unique one-dimensional hierarchical nanostructures exhibit significantly enhanced lithium-storage properties under different testing conditions by comparison to the pure metal oxide counterparts, and evidently suggests that improved electrochemical properties of TiO2 and SnO2 can be achieved through proper design of the nanostructure and chemical composition.

KBB Expert Rating: 9.2
Life as a midsize sedan automatically means competing against the likes of the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, and Chevrolet Malibu. Hyundai also considers the Volkswagen Passat, Chrysler 200, and its corporate cousin – the Kia Optima – as secondary competition. Overall, the midsize sedan segment is packed with stalwart offerings – some of the best-selling vehicles in the automotive industry. It will take a different train of thought for the 2015 Sonata to carve out its own space in the segment, but the all-new Sonata will try to lure prospective buyers in with more features and even a touch of luxury for less money than the competition.
You say you don't want to drain your bank account, but still want some value and refinement? The 2015 Hyundai Sonata SE undercuts segment heavyweight sedans from Honda and Toyota by $825 and $1,275, respectively.
The Honda Accord and Toyota Camry are best sellers for a reason, offering loads of space and, perhaps most importantly, legendary reliability at a reasonable price. While Hyundai has been around in the U.S. for a few decades now, it's still working to win the masses over.

All-new for the 2015 model year, Hyundai's midsize sedan sports new looks both inside and out. A new 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to a new 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission also debuts in the 2015 Hyundai Sonata.
Of the available Sonata powerplants, the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is the peppiest, allowing the 5-passenger sedan to take off from a standstill with ease. At the top of the...
... 2.0-liter line, the 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T trim brings a different steering wheel than what's found in the rest of the lineup. Not only did we find this particular steering wheel to be easier on the eyes, a new dual-pinion rack exclusive to the 2.0T enhances handling. Back here on Earth, the 2.4-liter inline 4-cylinder engine will carry the bulk of 2015 Sonata sales and for good reason. It's quiet and works harmoniously with the 6-speed automatic transmission. As for the newcomer – the 1.6-liter 4-cylinder turbo – we expect this to be the choice for those focusing on fuel economy above all else. We're anxious to drive it once Hyundai makes it available later this year.
Opting for the 2015 Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T model brings different styling cues like chrome-tipped exhaust pipes. That's not something you'll find on an Accord or Camry anytime soon.
One of the optional features we recommend springing for, the 8-inch color touch screen houses navigation, a rearview camera, and media interfaces like Bluetooth and SiriusXM radio.
After being redesigned for the 2015 model year, the Sonata finally boasts an interior that's capable of taking on the competition. An available leather-wrapped steering wheel and 8-inch touch screen are obvious refinements, but things like a windshield-wiper setting icon displayed through the 4.2-inch screen on the instrument cluster shows how Hyundai went the extra mile. In terms of overall layout, the 2015 Hyundai Sonata feels similar to the Accord courtesy of optimal ergonomics and more than enough room for five adults.
Hyundai describes the 2015 Sonata as "an athlete in a well-tailored suit," and designers even went as far as to watch athletes walking the red carpet at various award shows for inspiration. A refreshed take on the Sonata's signature saber line and hexagonal wing grille made the cut for the 2015 model. It has a low, athletic stance and sports redesigned taillights as well. On the Sonata Sport 2.0T, the trim level you go with dictates different exterior styling cues, including the front and rear fascia . The Eco trim benefits from aerodynamic enhancements in the name of fuel economy.
Standard equipment found on the base model Sonata SE sedan includes air conditioning, power windows with pinch protection, power locks, a driver's blind-spot mirror, stability and traction control, and cloth seats. Other standard features include a tilt/telescoping steering wheel, a 60/40-split fold-down rear seatback, iPod and USB ports, and Bluetooth.
Available options for the 2015 Hyundai Sonata – standard on some models – include automatic headlights, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an 8-inch touch-screen navigation system, audio upgrades, heated front and rear seats, and HD Radio. Optional equipment offered exclusively on the Sonata Limited and Sport 2.0T include a 10-speaker Infinity sound system, smart cruise control with stop/start capability, , automatic high beams, ventilated front seats, a panoramic tilt/slide sunroof.
Three engine choices are available for the non-hybrid 2015 Hyundai Sonata sedan models: a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4, a 2.4-liter inline-4, and an all-new 1.6-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder. This new engine will be paired with a new 7-speed dual clutch transmission, while the other engines use a 6-speed automatic. With fuel efficiency being the focal point of the 1.6-liter, it offers up the least amount of power with 177 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. The 2.0-liter is rated at 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.4-liter produces 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of peak twist. The Sonata
Hybrid lives on for 2015 virtually untouched from the 2014 model before a refresh comes for 2016.

Pricing for the 2015 Hyundai Sonata opens up near $22,000 for the base SE model while the Sport will set you back about $24,000. Moving up the ladder brings you the Eco trim and its just-over $24,000 price tag, followed by the Limited which carries an asking price of around $27,300. The top-tier Sport 2.0T starts a hair under $29,400. For comparison's sake, a 2014 Honda Accord sedan base model starts at about $22,800 and a base Toyota Camry at $23,200. The previous-generation Hyundai Sonata ran mid-pack when it came to resale value, which is an indication – though not a guarantee – of how the all-new Sonata will do when the time comes to sell.

Written on: 26/09/2013 by mariasheehan (1 review written)
I sent flowers via the internet to my sister in spain. I live in the US. I'm Irish and visit my sister frequently. I know her address. Everything else reaches her using the address I provided to Floraqueen. But my flowers never reached her on her 50th birthday, now a month ago. Floraqueen took $75 from my account. but no flowers.
However, when I contacted them asking what happened to my delivery, they said, wrong address ticket closed. Their policy states if you don't have the correct address you don't get a refund. Just spoke with my sister yet again who confirmed her address as being correct. Whilst on their customer service site, I opted to use the 'speak with an agent' app, Riccardo answered and asked 'how can I help you'. When I explained.... her terminated my call. This company is absolutely awful. Please opt to use interflora or another reputable company. I am so disgusted by this.

Technical computing benefits with IBM FlashSystem
Technical computing benefits with IBM FlashSystem
Technical computing applications are expanding the computing frontier. Teaming hundreds to thousands of compute nodes into a single processing cluster helps answer some of the most challenging scientific problems through brute force simulation. High performance computing (HPC) systems generate and consume massive amounts of data and are not limited to environmental or governmental workloads. Technical computing and the use of HPC is expanding into commercial use cases as stronger analytics continue to require more compute power than within a few servers. Ensuring that these compute nodes are kept busy involves designing a storage environment with performance in mind.
Parallel file systems
There are two main components that create the structure of a parallel file system; the file system data blocks and the metadata that describes the files system structure and block detail. The metadata and data are more complex than a traditional file system as the nodes need a framework to keep each of their file system caches consistent with all other nodes. Once the consistency framework is implemented, parallel file systems can deliver tremendous bandwidth through brute force horizontal scaling. Horizontal scaling involves giving the compute nodes direct access to either the Storage Area Network (SAN) or, in very large clusters, a large number of data servers that bridge access from the cluster network to a back-end SAN or Directly Attached Storage (DAS). The parallel file system is configured so the compute nodes have separate network paths from one another to the storage. Each client compute node has a lightweight part of the parallel file system software that implements distributed locking and directs I/O requests to the appropriate storage device or storage server. As different compute nodes are accessing different parts of the file system using separate network paths, the aggregate storage bandwidth can rise to the limit of all of the independent paths. This aggregate storage bandwidth enables 100s to 1000s of GBps of throughput that some HPC configurations are capable of generating.
The HPC environment
A typical HPC environment is composed of three distinct components: Compute, Network and Storage. The compute resources are teamed together to work in parallel using Open MP, Message Passing Interface (MPI), custom scripts or some other parallel computing framework. They leverage the network to pass data between nodes and move the data into the storage. The storage is presented in a parallel file system that enables many disks to be bound together in a unified namespace so every compute node has access to any file. Many network interfaces are used in parallel to enable the cluster to move data with exceptionally high aggregate bandwidth. Typical parallel files systems include General Parallel File System™ (GPFS), Lustre, Storage and Archive ManagerQuick File System (SAM-QFS), StorNext® as well as proprietary vendor hardware solutions.
Acceleration of the metadata is a common IBM® FlashSystem™ application. The metadata is usually less than two percent of the capacity of the file system and is heavily involved in file system operations. Separating out the metadata
IBM Systems and Technology Group
from the rest of the data is a simple task in most parallel file systems. Using FlashSystem storage for metadata I/O dramatically reduces the time required for file system maintenance operations and processing jobs that create many small files. Separating the metadata onto FlashSystem storage will also accelerate the entire file system as the small block I/O metadata operations no longer interfere with the large streaming accesses that many HPC workloads generate. Traditional disks perform well for large block sequential accesses but mixing in small block metadata I/O disrupts this streaming and drops the disk bandwidth utilization dramatically.
Using solid state storage to accelerate the data in an HPC system is a recent development and is a rapidly expanding use case for solid state storage. In the past, solid state storage technology was too expensive to be seriously considered for the large datasets that many HPC jobs deal with. The entry of high capacity flash systems at reasonable price points has changed this. High capacity solid state storage deployments are becoming more and more common and are expanding the field of problems that HPC systems can solve. Many HPC workloads have been designed assuming that the latency and I/O per second of the disks is so poor that only large block access should be used to grab enough data to fill the compute nodes memory to process locally and then stream out the results. This design only uses the disks for streaming bandwidth; however, it limits the problem sets to those that can easily be partitioned and processed independently on different compute nodes.
Solid state storage offer tremendous streaming bandwidth in a dense form factor and fit the traditional HPC software model. However, flash storage also support a high enough random I/O per second rate that this same bandwidth can be achieved with small block random I/O. This is a tremendous resource to HPC architectures as problems that require each compute node to access the entire dataset during processing can be accelerated dramatically. The alternative approaches of using massive memory proprietary supercomputers or using heavy remote direct memory access (RDMA) traffic to pool the memory of a large number of nodes both compare unfavorably to the flash storage approach. Using FlashSystem to hold the working set simplifies the architecture and allows the cluster to benefit from cost advantages of Flash over RAM including the dramatic power and space savings of flash. The only piece that has been missing is flash storage system designed with enough capacity, bandwidth and a small enough footprint to unlock the potential of flash for complex large working set HPC problems.
IBM FlashSystem
FlashSystem is the ideal implementation of flash for a technical computing environment. It uses enterprise class SLC and eMLC Flash with high write endurance to handle the heavy workloads that will be thrown at it. It provides QDR InfiniBand ports with shared access to up to 24 TB of flash per 1U chassis and can seamlessly integrate into an HPC environment. All of this is done in a chassis using less than 400 watts of power while still providing 5 GBps of data throughput. Additional scaling is as easy as adding an additional 1U chassis to reach any performance and capacity level desired. One PB of flash can fit into a single floor tile and weigh less than 1,400 lbs. This capacity density is not new to HPC but the performance/Watt and performance/GB is unprecedented.
InfiniBand—The ideal interface for flash in a technical computing
For large performance sensitive HPC clusters InfiniBand (IB) is the ideal backbone. Supporting a 40 Gbps transfer rate, a single quad data rate (QDR) IB port distances itself from competitive networking options. It has proven itself—more than half of the top 100 supercomputing sites use InfiniBand as the interconnect. FlashSystem supports Active/Active QDR ports to support redundant network connections and to deliver to the cluster the massive bandwidth that is capable with a performance flash system design. The use of Infiniband for both Interconnect and Storage reduces the complexity for those infrastructures avoiding a mix topology.

FlashSystem solution—Accelerating shared working sets
Using FlashSystem with QDR IB and a parallel file system permits HPC workloads with exceptionally large working sets to be handled. These applications differ from the traditional HPC workload as there is no way to partition the data into chunks that can be sent to each node to process in local memory and periodically recombine the results from every node. Each node needs access to the entire dataset at every step in the process. The ability to have every CPU in the cluster close to all of the data is a unique advantage of the high performance computing architecture with RamSan storage. FlashSystem products are high bandwidth, low latency and are able to handle random I/O enhance HPC architectures to tackle new problems. For application datasets that can be federated where each compute node has an isolated working set, the RamSan shared storage model provides the ability to time-slice access to a more efficient capacity rather than dedicating flash to every compute node at the maximum required capacity. FlashSystem provides the latency of internal Flash but at the flexibility and infrastructure of traditional shared storage solutions.

A quote from my solo campaign that really got me thinking about how players perceive Npcs.
Does your players treat your precious Npcs like nothing but obstacles, exploits and cannon fodder, whether they are gelatinous cubes or humans?
And if so, what can we do to change it?
Seven things I've learned about NPCs
Players want their characters to be special, and a secret is one way to do it. It is also a way to better connect the character with the game world.
Treasure is both the bane and boon of gaming campaigns. The purpose of all this was to bring up some more obvious, but often overlooked, types of treasure. The focus too often is on gold, gems, and magic items when the fun could be enriched by recognizing some awkward, but just as valuable, alternate items. Don't pass up that ornately carved throne gathering dust in the lair of ogres. Don't pass up that odd colored flower that your character has never seen. Take it all with you. You never know what you might get for it.
A rather large armed group slowly walks the road. Unless you get to see what they transport, you could think it is a caravan with expensive goods, or the soldiers escort someone important. But this is a prisoner transport, on the way to mines, criminals on their way for punishment.
The soldiers may be willing to talk, the captain will have a few questions on you and the road, but they will keep distance, and part soon.
