Letter: Multi-phase solution
Here is a solution to the border problem.
The acting president of the United States, current head of the Senate and speaker of the House will pass a one-page bill which states that all of the illegal aliens will be handled in the following manner:
The United States will establish a point of entry for all illegal aliens, this will be an island under American control in American waters as near the Southern United States border as possible.
The National Guard in all Southern border states will be activated and paid for by the federal government. A secure border will be constructed with all possible haste.
The United States will utilize all equipment needed to facilitate the operation of this entry point including aircraft carriers, hospitals and food service. The military and other organizations will provide needed housing. Transportation will be handled by the U.S. Navy.
Any illegal aliens seized by the border patrol, National Guard, ICE or other authorized agency immediately will be transported to this point of entry.
The Department of Homeland Security or other appropriate organization will be established at this point of entry to determine in an expeditious manner the designation of all immigrants. Those found to be ineligible for admission will properly be returned to their country of origin in the most expeditious and practical manner.
All countries not taking actions to prevent illegal aliens from reaching our borders will be denied foreign aid and other trade advantages from the United States until our borders are secure.

Bringing new meaning to "double concerto"Posted by John Clare in CDs, Contemporary Classical, Hilary Hahn, Media, Recordings, tags: Hilary Hahn, Jennifer Higdon, Jennifer Koh, New Release, Singing Rooms, Violin Concerto
It is a huge day for new music new releases tomorrow, Tuesday, September 21st. Last month you might remember I interviewed Nico Muhly about his new releases before he spoke in LA about the works on the Decca label and featured an in-store performance. Tomorrow those discs will hit the stores as well as two major works by another composer, Jennifer Higdon.
What is astounding about Higdon's cds are that they are by two different labels (Telarc & DG) and by two different violinists (Jennifer Koh and Hilary Hahn) of two different violin concertos, written closely together: The Singing Rooms and the Violin Concerto. I was curious about how all of this came together for Jennifer.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Traveling Blues No More
When you travel, you are faced with being outside of your normal fitness routine, limited quality food options, and probably more downtime than normally needed. On your journey to better health and fitness, you must overcome these obstacles and put fitness in travel. While you are on holiday or personal travel, you need to learn to incorporate physical activity and healthy eating into your daily routine. Do not worry; we are going to give you insights into living a fuller and richer life when you travel.
There are benefits to training outside and getting away from traveling festivities; however, this is easier said than actually done. First, do not make excuses not to exercise when the gym is not handy! Next, make this your goal, "I will maintain my current body weight." Lastly, drink plenty of water and be vigilant about appropriate portion sizes both at restaurants, business meetings and visiting homes.
Remaining Fit WHEN YOU TRAVEL
Let's be realistic, you are going to have days where you are going to struggle, maybe even eat and drink too much, or weather conditions might impede your training. Everyone does. But you can strive to be that committed person that does not give in and does not let your traveling agenda stop you from your personal success. Now, get ready to succeed when you travel.
Here are some travel tips to choose from:
- Drink plenty of water
- 45-60 minutes of Cardiovascular Training
- Body Weight Conditioning Training
- Shadow Boxing
- Yoga before breakfast
- Yoga before bed
- When commercials are on do push-ups and sit-ups
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables
- Go for a hike in a local Park
- Invite your family, members to participate in activities with you
- Find a local fitness class and drop in
To reap the benefits of fitness when you travel will not be an easy task. Your family, spouse, or friends might not understand why you are training during travel and limiting excess food and alcohol. For people on a journey to a healthy weight and fit life, effort is required to achieve your goals such as to fit into a smaller pant size or receive a much-awaited compliment from our significant other. Remember these are nice accolades, but the largest benefits are decreasing health risks, increasing life longevity, and dedicating oneself to healthier lifestyle. We make the priority to go train at the gym, so let's make it a priority to train while we travel.
- Benefits of continuing to train while traveling: Stress relief from family and travel
- Rejuvenation
- Keeps yourself focused on your goals
- Weight management
- Inspire a family member to live a healthier lifestyle
- Cross trains and strengthens weaker muscles
- Decreases burn-out from always training at the gym
Have a trip coming up? Start planning now how your will weave fitness in your travel plans and keep yourself on track. We at Shane Diet & Fitness Resorts can help if you have any questions.

Advanced Micro Devices on Wednesday denied a news-story published earlier this week, which claimed that the world's second largest x86 chip designer had abandoned development of the code-named Bobcat microprocessor aimed at low-power applications.
"Bobcat remains under development as an important future core for AMD," said Damon Muzny, a spokesperson for Advanced Micro Devices.
Bobcat is an AMD microprocessor designed for very low power computers, such as netbooks or mobile Internet devices (MIDs) or even consumer electronics (CE). It is widely believed that Bobcat will be a rival for Intel Atom processor, even though AMD has never officially released many details regarding the product.
Earlier this week a web-site published a short notice claiming that Bobcat project had been abandoned and that AMD refocused resources on its "core" products.
Sunnyvale, California-based Advanced Micro Devices recently said that it plans to concentrate on development of its core products – central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) – and to get rid of non-core assets, such as chips for digital TVs or processors for handsets. However, being a low-power x86 chip, the Bobcat can be considered as an important project of AMD that fits into core businesses.
While the Bobcat is not officially cancelled, the chip does not seem be around the corner. Originally AMD promised that the CPU will be available in 2008, but the year is about to end and there are still no signs of Bobcat's arrival.

Skip to comments.Congress Overturns Ban of Gays Serving Openly, Sends Bill to Obama's Desk
Posted on 12/18/2010 12:48:49 PM PST by Jess KittingEdited on 12/18/2010 1:10:23 PM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
WASHINGTON -- In a landmark vote, the Senate on Saturday ended the Clinton-era ban on gays serving openly in the military, marking a major triumph for President Obama, liberals and the gay community.
The final vote to end the Pentagon's 1993 "don't ask, don't tell" policy was 65-31, drawing support from eight Republicans.
The bill now goes to the White House for Obama's signature. He is expected to sign the bill into law next week, a senior White House aide told Fox News.
"They think that there are no limits to federal power."
Only when Dems are in control. When Republicans have a majority in Congress, the Dems and their acolytes in the media warn daily about a culture of corruption, abuse of power, congressional railroading of legislation, etc.
If two gay male "sailors" and two lesbian female "waves" get to live together why can't a straight sailor and a straight wave live together?
Well God has the last say.
It will now....
Next; claim you are "transgender", and DEMAND that you be allowed into the female shower room, and share their bunks.
McCainiac and Graham didnt have to dirty their hands by voting FOR the bill, as they were assured it already had enough RINO votes to pass.
These two POS should be horse whipped!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Well as a retired navy department head I was just happy to miss out on the "women on combatants" thing. Now they have to deal with #ss f___cking. Enjoy :-)
They had nothing to do with this.
Not without a Super Majority, and even then, not with the Liberal Courts we have today. Sexual Deviance is considered a protected class now, and "equal protection" is the vehicle that is used to claim "discrimination".
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
The Draft being ushered in under the Democrats! What Irony!
Well let's go back to the 60's and make it a dischargable offense?
Merry Christmas
When I joined back in 1969 it was "Join the Navy and ride the Waves". Now it's "Join the Navy and ride whoever the hell will let you on".
You're dang right they can.
We're all sittin' here, moaning and groaning about this, instead of getting off our duffs to do something.
We outnumber the homos by a large, large majority. The Senate is scared of them because they are organized. Why don't we organize, for God's sake?!
You know why we're always looking over our shoulder? Because we always let them put us on the defensive. If i think someone behind me is thinking about stabbing me in the back, I turn around, call them out and engage them until I win or they kill me. Standing there hoping they decide just to wound me or not stab me sure as hell doesn't do any good.
In all other branches and units the laws of unintended consequences will rear their ugly little heads.
Heterosexuals being harassed will be another (hushed up) story.
I'll take "Probably Not" for $500, Alex.
As I said on another thread when the draft was in effect back in the 60's lots of gays admitted they were gay (and some admitted it who were not gay) to get out of the draft. That won't work today.
But I guarantee you that if the draft is reinstated you'll see gay people screaming to high heaven and claim exemption because they're gay.
And we as a country are going to take it in the a$$ because of it!
Everything that has made us great is being torn down and rebuilt.
The military is the last bastion left.
We are done now.
Memories are the best possession left now.
Tomorrow we will be asking the U.N. for salvation.
Voted yes to repeal DADT as well as yes for backdoor Shamnesty (aka DREAM ACT).
"Hey Scott, hope your enjoying your (abreviated and short-lived) ONE TERM as a US Senator.
"Maybe in 2012, you can get all the Fags, Socialist, Progressives, et al, in Taxachussetts to contribute to your campaign, cuz none of us who helped you out last year will be sending a plug nickel!" (copy of email I sent this RINO Bas-turd!)
Guess that WUSS McConnell, could not excert any pressure on the RINO's to oppose this, if he even tried.
Yeah; right.
We outnumber the blacks by a large majority, and the Hispanics (so far) by a large majority, too, and look who gets Reparations and special treatment (Affirmative Action, non-binding/enforced laws).
Even Foreigners who can manage to sneak in can drop a baby, and that Foreigner's baby is AUTOMATICALLY an American Citizen, with all the rights my buddies fought and died for.....
Burr, Ensign, Voinovich, Kirk, Murkowski, Scott Brown, Snowe and Collins.
The repeal of DADT is a mean to an end, not the end. The military has always been used by the left as an engine of social change, ie. racial integration, women's rights etc. This is not about getting gays into the military, its about gaining acceptance for gays out of the military.
Can there be any remaining doubt that dems (and their RINO enablers) are enemies of our Republic? I think not.
Maybe so, but its impact on discipline, cohesion, morale and effectiveness will certainly be negative. Our warfighting capabilities will be needlessly diminished and that poses an unacceptible risk to our national security in this exceedingly dangerous era in which we live. The Senate has completely lost touch with reality.
They also think they are bullet proof.
then we work to get rid of these traitors who voted for this and we tell the GOP no more appeasing, speaking out against hem and that goes for the talk show hosts and the TV hosts like Hannity.
No more cowards preaching on about the budget all the time like a broken record.
Get this overturned and if the media which they will defend this bill then give them a call too.
Everyone needs to call not their local reps but also the RINOS who voted for this.
Do not let up and call a few times different times of the day and get others in your family , neighbors to do the same.
Again, because we don't organize and make noise.
the homo-fascists, the racist minority groups, they all have two things in common: they want to destroy this country and they are organized to be loud.
As I said, many of those on our side are too busy wringing their hands trying to find excuses to lose to find the time to organize and FIGHT. That's why we're losing.
Collins, Snowe, and who else?
I don't have a problem with it. Its silly to have to have people hide who they are. I've always thought there was a case to be made for banning homosexuality in the armed service but DADT is offensive and hypocritical. Its like saying a woman can be pregnant but she needs to hide it so people won't have to face it. This is one fight that is now history.
If you listen to the military leadership, they're all in favor of it. Starting with Gates and right on down the line. Heard the CNO interviewed yesterday, he says all they'll need is a little time to review and revise all procedures, no big deal. Onward and upward.
If I take your meaning, you refer to the troops when you say "armed forces", but according to the surveys they've published, the majority are in favor of it too.
I don't like it either but I believe the military leadership has brought this on by not just resisting it, but by actively encouraging it.
Am I wrong?
See my post #12
Unprincipled swine, the both of them. They vote against cloture, and then vote for the bill itself. They should be booted out of office at the very first opportunity.
I don't know all the details about this. If a gay soldier hits on a straight soldier, and the straight soldier slugs him/her, will the straight soldier be arrested for a hate crime and dishonorably discharged and sent to prison for the rest of his/her life??
You are correct. The DoD is not compelled to abolish DADT. [This bill leaves it up to their discretion. Or so I read while lurking on a disgruntled DU thread. So I could be wrong, but in this case I think the information is correct. DU tends to be very up to speed on homosexual issues. Since they are angry that the DoD gets the final word, Im guessing [hoping!] it is true.]
So, if that is the case, does that leave it up to the CIC and Secretary of Defense? If so, this just became an issue for every Presidential election.
we have to stop this repeal as if they get this then they will be cross dressing on base, homosexual parties, men holding and kissing on base .
Then they say we can die but cannot marry so overturn DOMA
This HAS TO BE STOPPED.
I don't have a problem with it. Its silly to have to have people hide who they are. I've always thought there was a case to be made for banning homosexuality in the armed service but DADT is offensive and hypocritical. Its like saying a woman can be pregnant but she needs to hide it so people won't have to face it. This is one fight that is now history.
Makes my son's decision to take athletic and academic scholarship easy. I advised him against an NROTC or USNA appointment because the PC writing was on the wall and only butt kissing princes are running the show. My father was a Marine, my MOS 0311, 5 uncles in the Navy and Marines and one rogue Air Force mechanic... my son will NEVER join up to the PC pink palaces. What is the policy on blood donations going to be? What if a lovers spat makes someone mad and he decides that he isn't a "machine" and doesn't feel like he should pull point or #1 position to clear a room? Lots of "hate" crime going to be prosecuted by JAG, with extra PT, cleaning the latrines and just "being mean" to all the sensitive homosexuals that will look to be offended. This is the end of unit cohesion, good order and discipline. Welcome to the new sensitive Armed Forces. What a joke.
The eight Republicans who joined Democrats in passing the repeal were: Sens. Scott Brown of Massachusetts, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Mark Kirk of Illinois, George Voinovich of Ohio, Richard Burr of North Carolina, John Ensign of Nevada and Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine.
Mark Kirk OF COURSE, he is in the closet and is about to come out.
The White House issued a statement from Obama, in which he said: One more nail in America's coffin.

4 Generations of welfare-dependent "families", along with un-fettered drug use, and now unlimited handouts and benefits to Third World Julio's, and you think We The People are gonna take up arms?
Lynching is the way to go now, whereas you get caught in the act and you hang from a tree.....Lawyers and Judges and the ACLU be damned?
keep their names up on the front page of this site and lets now go after them to get them fired.
The GOP needs to be reminded that they had better get some balls and guts no more appeasing this queer agenda.
It is to legitamize homosexual marriage and their other degenerate practices. To wit: Fisting, anal intercourse, sex with animals, sex with children,to name a few.

Ladle the soup into serving bowls and sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese and bacon.

Charmed Circle: Reese Witherspoon's Ojai Home
When Karl Lagerfeld agreed to stage this month's Paris Biennale des Antiquaires, he transformed the venerable antiques fair into a hot ticket. The couturier has always worn many hats — fashion designer for Chanel, Fendi, and his own Karl Lagerfeld label; fine-art photographer; book publisher. But it's his theatrical persona — snow-white hair, dark glasses, fingerless gloves — that often steals the show. A lifelong collector of furniture and art, he chose to decorate the 26th edition of the Biennale because, he says, "I love the event." Typically cryptic, Lagerfeld wouldn't divulge specifics save for one clue: a sketch of a hot-air balloon. We'll have to wait for the unveiling of the Biennale on September 14 to see his fancies take flight.

Golf is a family tradition for Michael Rose and his mother, Louise "Bobbie" Rose, soon-to-be Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Famers.
In an extraordinary pairing, a mother and son are being honored jointly for their expertise on the greens and fairways of area golf courses.
Huntingdon Valley's Michael Rose, 67, and his 98-year-old mother, Louise "Bobbie" Rose, will both be inductees in the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame on May 27.
But this is not a family reunion. They both continue to play together and they've never strayed far from each other: Mom lives in Meadowbrook and they visit regularly, along with sister/daughter, golfer Bonnie Rose George, 70, a Jewish Hall of Famer herself, class of 2000.
The whole family has been in sync with sports for decades, but golf has scored a hole-in-one for the Roses over the years.
"My husband was a wonderful tennis player who got me into golf," Bobbie said of the late Leon Rose. "I was playing tennis until I got pregnant with Michael."
When her husband suggested she consider the less strenuous game of golf, "I said, 'Why would I take up an old man's game?' "
But she did, joining Ashbourne Country Club after she gave birth. She remembers thinking she'd give herself a year to get the game.
"Now, it's been a lifetime."
That lifetime has been filled with honors and trophies, including the Golf Association of Philadelphia's Lifetime Achievement Award and the Women's Club Championship at Ashbourne, a once Jewish country club, for 14 straight years.
Despite her prowess, she said, she never thought about turning pro. The hours and commitment involved were prohibitive. "I had a family to raise."
Her son, too, dismissed the notion of his turning pro. "I wouldn't have made a nickel had I done that," he said.
Sure, he may be in the top 99 percent of the game as an amateur. "But that other 1 percent, that's a whole different ball game," he said.
The Indiana University graduate wound up earning a living the old-fashioned way, as a stockbroker, which he did for three decades, pulling out of the Wall Street game in 1999.
Since then, he's gone into golf full-time. He writes for and publishes his own regional magazine, Great Golf, and is celebrating his silver anniversary as a golf analyst/broadcaster on The Fanatic 97.5 FM.
A two-time gold medal winner in the Maccabiah Games in Israel (1981 and 1985), he has scored sensationally at home as well. Starting in 1980, he took the title in the local Tournament of Club Champions for six straight years to go along with 12 titles at Ashbourne and Philmont Country Clubs over the years.
He also was named the Golf Association of Philadelphia's Super Senior Player of the Year in 2012.
"My game is ugly but effective," he said of his style and the way he greets the ball. He welcomed golf into his life when he set up tee time at Abington High, where he became rated the school's No. 1 golfer. "We had some great teams at Abington," he recalled.
His mother calls him "a natural athlete." And she doesn't take credit for his success.
"I didn't teach him how to play golf; we just played together as a family."
And while she once was able to edge out her kids, "they can beat me now!" she noted with pride.
But nobody really beats Mom, according to her son: "Bonnie and I are happy to have Mom's genes, maybe the best around."
Both mother and son are delighted with the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame honor. Michael said it is "close to the top of the list" of his achievements.
"It's the icing on the cake for me, a big surprise," Bobbie said.
What's not surprising is how active Bobbie remains. When not with the kids — and four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren — she can be found tee-ing off or doing rounds at Philmont.
"I'm not sitting around waiting to die; I feel like a young person!" she exclaimed, noting that she goes to fitness classes each week and has taken up art. "I do oils, wood, acrylics, weldings."
Is golf an art?
"Golf," she said with a vehemence, "is the most frustrating, irritating, imperfect, wonderful game I've ever played!"

PHOTOS: Levy Breaks
MORNING GOODS — William Levy may be done with the modeling thing (now the Cuban native is a full-fledged actor, co-starring in next year's Derecho de Sangre, a remake of the 1980s Mexican telenovela Cuna de Lobos), but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy his career arc one more time.
he has great DSL
Stop the WAXING people. It's disgusting! an highlights, yuck. Me think I might actually get hard if he kept his original chest and belly hair. Legs look amazingly hairy.
Beautiful man. Top to Bottom. And DSLs for sure… plus a great smile!!
Yet another reason to move to Cuba.
That face is amazing, but not too amazing to sit on for an hour or two.
queerty left out some of the better images
Nice looking guy, a bit to exotic for me.
Nice butt…small weenie
His full name is William Levy Gutiérrez and he was born August 28, 1980 in Havana. How did he get circumcised?
@Frank: What, models can't be growers?
He really is one of the most beautiful creatures anywhere!
Love these see through photos!!! Niiiice assss and legs
@Jeff Atwood: Jewish ancestry.
Coupled with the fact that most wealthy families in South American nations circumcise their sons, so that even when they're naked, they will stand out among poor males, whose parents couldn't afford to have them circumcised.
I knew a Spanish man who got a circumcision in high school. He was for years pissed off at his father for not getting him cut when he was born. Apparently the other wealthy boys would claim he wasn't really rich, since he still had a "hood" on his dick. His father was once a poor farmer, who made some good decisions and built up a massive fortune. Since the old man didn't come from money, he didn't believe in following all the pretenses that the wealthy families liked to play at, including circumcision. His father once told him when he was a child, "My dick was good enough to make you, and your dick will be good enough to make your own son."
It's really shocking how classism permeates all facets of life, including genitalia.
Perfect looking young man…I remember him on some acting reality show on Telemundo. Great reason to brush up on my Spanish.
QUEERTS–what did you do with the fun "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" icons????
i enjoyed that feature–it really helped you stand out from other gay news sources that i frequent, like towleroad & the advocate
@ 20 bizarre!!
In Europe you are only circumcised if you are a)Jewish b)Muslim c)grew up in the tropics or for some other unusual medical reason.
Damn the man is packing in the mesh undergear!
smokin' hot
More please…and don't be so jealous…20 fails???
thumbs down is gone??…awesome..too many hypocrites were abusing it…
@Mr. Enemabag Jones: Cuba is a poor Marxist dictatorship where the non-nomenclature masses are all kept poor. His family was just an average Cuban family. You're analogy with well-to-do South Americans circumcising their boys so that they stand out among the non-circumcized masses doesn't apply. William Levy is simply a Cuban Jew. That's why he's circumcized.

State Opening of Parliament 2013
Her Brittanic Majesty, The Queen Elizabeth II Windsor opened Parliament with her Speech on the plans of her Government for the next Session.
Only...you may notice that there were extra Royals in appearence. Usually, the Queen, and her Consort, Prince Philip, are the only Royals Present...However, an interesting thing is going on in European Monarchic Houses at the moment. With the Monarchs living longer, there has been pressure on some of the European Houses to abdicate in favour of younger Heirs.
Her Majesty has no plans to abdicate because she would see that as dereliction of duty. Neither at present can she Co-Reign, unless she is basically terminally ill and incapacitated...at which point she CAN nominate a Regent to Rule on her behalf.
Despite the above, Buckingham Palace have expressed that it is unlikely that The Queen will do any more overseas tours. Some people are worried that she is ill...but my personal feelings are that the issue here is NOT her...but her Husband. Prince Philip is even older then her, and he has had health problems...She doesnt like to do things without her Husband...and I think it is because its become unsafe for HIM to travel...that she is abstaining.
Therefore Prince Charles as Heir apparent, now has to begin to act directly on her behalf abroad. Infact...she has said that she will not attend the Commonwealth Heads of State meeting...and she hasnt missed one of those in fourty years!! She will instead send Prince Charles...who is NOT head of State, but will, for that meeting, effectively be Prince Regent.
Not only does this show that Elizabeth is listening and pre-empting the continental monarchic issue of old age, and looking after the needs of Prince Philip...it also consolidates in the Commonwealth, that its her expectation that Charles will succeed her, in all roles...and this is training in preparation for her death.
So Charles and Camilla were also present at the State Opening of Parliament...Something which has never happened before...Well...not since the Regent for Mad King George (the one who lost the collonies )

over the weekend i found two albums, 'let us in - nashville' (2011) and 'let us in - americana' (2013). both are tribute albums featuring artists both well known and some not quite so well known. proceeds for both go to charity
they feature songs written by you-know-who...
nashville, which has a...get this...nashville kinda spin on most/all tracks, is pretty dang spiffy: i'd give it a 4.5 out of 5
with a little luck - shedaisy...very nice
every night - timothy b schmidt (of 'eagles' fame...backed by none other than denny seiwell and laurence juber !) very nice
blackbird - sarah darling...also nice
maybe i'm amazed - steel magnolia...very good...nice interplay by switching it up and having the lyrics sung back and forth by a male and a female..gets a nice bit of an edge going...
lady madonna - phil vassar...neat interpretation, i like
junk - blue sky riders...this is kenny loggins & friends...nice
mull of kintyre - cheyenne kimball...really neat version
bluebird - julianna cole...also very nice
listen to what the man said - ricky skaggs...while i quite like it, it is also a bit of a let dwon: skaggs has spent an aweul lot of time acting like a playa in the bluegrass/roots movement..yet really brings very little to it...shoulda been better, imho
heart of the country - jeff daniels...hmmm..okay...this is the actor...y'know 'dumb n dumber'...so is this version...dumberer...comes close to tying with william shatner as a worst cover by an actor of all time award...
i saw her standing there - nikki shannon fernandez...absolutely the best track on the record...nearly redefines the song..this girl owns this track
i will - jordyn shellhart...really nice rendition...quite spiffy
no more lonely nights - chuck wicks...another, tho minor, revelation...wicks turns this into a modern country ballad and it works wonders...bravo
calico skies - nancy sirianni...my stars...another out and out winner !! who'da thunk this song would be so good as a countrified ballad
pipes of peace - samantha landrum..yowza !! i might be committing some real heresy here...but i think i like this version better than the original...it is at the very least as good as it
she's a woman - tommy emmanuel...this is even a bigger letdown than skaggs...while it is nice and perfectly serviceable...that's about it. emmanuel is a guitar wizard, and seeing as this is just guitar, no vocals...i kinda expected more than just tossed off rehash...nice filler..but that is about it
...and then there's 'americana'...it tries for a more rootsier, grittier, bluesy and/or bluegrass feel...sometimes it succeeds, sometimes, not so much...4 out of 5
come and get it - the wood brothers...nice, has some interesting things going...but it never really takes flight: there are better attempts later on
yellow submarine - buddy miller...this guy nearly walks on wyare these days...but here he's just sort of floatin along...much like the wood bros...he just doesn't bring it...too tame, but nice
band on the run - will hoge...hmmm..lame...kinda shouldna been attempted...doesn't add a thing..not a train wreck but easily the weakest track with the least to say
i'm looking through you - jim lauderdale...this is more like it..a nice move in the right direction, after a few wobbly moments, some real rootsy feeling is emerging...still not quite there, but smile inducing nonetheless
my love - holly williams...nice...dreamy...spot on
let me roll it - teddy thompson..much like the lauderdale track, a nice move...a little more country blues than rootsy blues, , but pretty good
fool on the hill - bruce cockburn...yep, the canadien guy...really like this one...just him and a guitar..in his style very nice
get back - ollabelle...think kinda memphis soul...jumpin' organ with a dash a country...very nice with a slight smolder
let 'em in - lee ann womack...wow ! what a fantastic interpretation !! great stuff !!
i will - steve earle and allison moorer...quite spiffy !! can easily hear this come drift outta any backwoods watering hole...coulda easily been the best track if not for that secor guy...
every night - rodney crowell...he quite easily invests a clear, bold and assertive passion for the song..great stuff
yesterday - matraca berg...nice, sad, plaintive reading...great stuff, again
give ireland back to the irish - ketch secor..wholly crap !! ketch is the front man for 'old crow medicine show' they are pretty good, you should check 'em out ! this is great stuff !! best song on this album..completely owns this song..wonderful, stompin' celtic/bluegrass mix that would make paddy maloney beam with pride...probably made paul do so, too
i've just seen a face - sam bush...this album just keeps up the victories..this is fantastic, i certainly never would've thought of this song as a bit of a country/bluegrass stomp..but it frikkin works ! great stuff
uncle albert/admiral halsey - ed snodderly...this one starts out very good...lots of slide work...the vocals start out cool..but then it kinda meanders. ed sounds a little like wayne coyne..and if he brought a rootsy sensibility as wayne does for rock, this would've been killer..as it is, while they try really try hard, but it is a bit of a miss..still, gotta give 'em points for trying
let it be - the mccrary sisters, w/amy helm, fiona mcbain and allsion moorer...nice..but it feels all sort of anticlimactic after the greatness that preceeded it...if you're gonna tackle a song this big and this well known..ya gotta bring 110% or more...this feels like 95%

Why Small-Biz Expansion Depends on a Few High Fliers
How much will the economy grow this year? How can we help it grow more? Will tax cuts stimulate growth? Will the next debt-ceiling drama quash it?
Small-business growth is a crucial element in the overall health of the U.S. economy. As politicians never tire of telling us, small companies create more jobs than large ones, and start-ups are often the engines of innovation that drive industries into new, profitable directions.
But just as small businesses are founded for many different reasons and fail for many different reasons, they also grow for different reasons. It's impossible to talk about small-business "growth" as a single, monolithic phenomenon.
First of all, many small businesses simply don't want or need to grow. And -- brace yourself -- that's just fine.
According to Census data, about three-quarters of all U.S. businesses have no employees. These businesses encompass the people who are doing some consulting between full-time jobs, or the parents who work from home part-time so they can pick their kids up from school. They serve a specific purpose and provide income, but very few were ever founded with the intent of expanding.
Small-business growth rests, then, with a very small subset of companies that want to grow. What qualities do these companies share? And how can they be nurtured along?
In an article published recently in McKinsey Quarterly , two analysts examined the common attributes of high-growth firms (defined as those that double their revenue and employment every four years). One striking similarity is age: Three-quarters of the companies that are growing the fastest are less than five years old.
But that was about the only common ground. In other respects, high-growth firms are a strikingly diverse group. Contrary to stereotypes, high-growth firms can be found in all regions. (Silicon Valley, it turns out, doesn't have a monopoly on entrepreneurial drive.) Companies with high potential for growth can be found in big cities, suburbs and rural areas, so geography alone doesn't seem to be a deciding factor.
And contrary to the all the tech and green-energy hype, no particular industry has a monopoly on growth, either. Studies have found that high-growth start-ups have made up a slightly higher percentage of companies in fields such as oil and gas extraction, industrial instrumentation and social services in recent years. But the opportunities for growth exist almost everywhere. Promoting growth in only a few key industries means missing out on possible success stories elsewhere.
According to a research paper published by the SBA, High-Impact Firms: Gazelles Revisited , many state and regional economic programs don't address directly the needs of companies with high growth potential. State economic-development offices focus instead on appealing to large corporations, hoping to attract a manufacturing plant or corporate headquarters. Many states also do a good job of encouraging would-be entrepreneurs to get started by sponsoring education programs.

[H]is stuff is legit. A 96 MPH fastball that comes from the side similar to Thornton's so it's tailing hard in on righties and hard away on lefties. Great starting pitch, going to be hard to hit. Sale snapped off a changeup in this game that had real good movement, and that curveball from his windup is the pitch we always dreamed Thornton would develop; sharp break, but you can't pick it up from his windup. He keeps that arm healthy and this kid has few limits.

The California group behind the inimitable "got milk?" campaign may be running out of good ideas.
It might also just be especially adept at creating and exploiting controversy.
The California Milk Processor Board yesterday shut down a Web site purporting that drinking milk can reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome.
The site featured men looking apologetic and frightened with subtitles such as "I'm sorry I listened to what you said and not what you meant" and "Let's agree to disagree with me." Critics called the campaign chauvinistic.
The site now redirects visitors and offers an apology that, like the original tag lines, drips with condescending humor.
"It has opened up a topic that affects women, of course, but also relationships," the site reads.
The tongue-in-cheek tone suggests that anyone who's still angry about the whole thing just needs to drink a tall glass of milk.
Somehow the extremely large amounts of calcium contained in the wonder-beverage work their way into the central nervous system, producing an immediate calming effect.
Or something like that.
Dubious scientific claims aren't new for the group, though. A recent campaign has touted low-fat chocolate milk as an ideal way to recover after exercising.
"Low-fat chocolate milk has been scientifically shown to refuel and rebuild muscles effectively to help athletes recover after exercise," stated a press release.
It's not clear, however, why other flavors of milk aren't equally beneficial.
And Sacramento-area residents are also familiar with marketing agencies capitalizing on public controversies, after a billboard advertising California Sun tanning salons in Auburn was removed and then replaced this summer.
I have nothing against milk. I drink it every day.
But I am opposed to offensive marketing campaigns that also make misleading scientific claims, especially when, like the California Milk Processor Board's most recent effort, they're not even all that funny.
This blog post has been updated to remove incorrect references to the "Happy Cows" advertising campaign, which is the work of the California Milk Advisory Board, not the California Milk Processor Board.

Yesterday, I joined Secretary Clinton representing the United States at the 7th Ministerial Meeting of the Arctic Council. Representatives of the eight Arctic countries and of Arctic indigenous groups met in Nuuk, Greenland, for the most momentous meeting of the Council since its founding in 1996. With the impacts of climate change and increased human activity being felt throughout the region, the Arctic Council is ever more central to cooperation in this important region. With the actions taken there yesterday, the Council is better prepared for the future.
Secretary Clinton, the first U.S. Secretary of State to attend a meeting of the Arctic Council, joined the representatives of Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, and Sweden in signing a landmark Arctic Search and Rescue Agreement. As more ships and airplanes travel in and through the Arctic, this agreement provides a foundation for the cooperation necessary to save lives in this remote and rugged region.
The foreign ministers joined together in announcing a decision to establish a secretariat in Tromso, Norway, to support the work of the Arctic Council. The secretariat will be up and running by 2013, which will be of great benefit to the United States when it assumes the Chairmanship of the Council from 2015 to 2017.
Secretary Clinton and others received the report, Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost of the Arctic, yesterday that predicts the sea level will rise by 0.9 to 1.6 meters (roughly 3 to 5 feet) by 2100, and that Arctic ice loss will make a substantial contribution to that rise. U.S. scientists are collaborating with their international counterparts through the Arctic Council to improve our understanding of this and many other changes facing the region.
The startling news about sea-level rise reinforces how important it is to address climate change in the Arctic immediately. The United States led an effort with Norway to find actions Arctic countries can take now to slow Arctic climate change. Their work initially focused on the warming effects of black carbon, or soot, in the Arctic. Their efforts have made the Arctic Council an acknowledged leader in both the science and policy areas related to black carbon. Because black carbon stays in the atmosphere for a short period of time before settling on the snow and ice and accelerating warming, any actions we take now to reduce black carbon can yield immediate climate benefits. Secretary Clinton strongly encouraged the other Arctic countries to join the United States in acting on the recommendations contained in this report on Short-Lived Climate Forcers (SLCFs) such as black carbon. (You can view the full report here.) Methane also has a dramatic warming effect on the Arctic, and the United States is urging those Arctic countries that are not part of the Global Methane Initiative to join us in that important climate initiative.
In addition to the work of the Arctic Council on black carbon and methane, the United States is taking action domestically and urging international action on another SLCF: hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). We hope that yesterday's decisions of the Arctic Council will accelerate and encourage further reductions of this SLCF.
Yesterday marked the start of the two-year Swedish Chairmanship of the Arctic Council. The Council will soon begin discussions on the U.S. proposal to develop an international instrument on oil spill preparedness and response. The Arctic is a region rich in hydrocarbons, and projections are that the transport of oil along Arctic sea lanes will increase markedly in coming years. In the wake of the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, we all recognize that greater attention must be paid to oil spill prevention, preparedness and response, especially in an environment as remote, challenging, and fragile as that of the Arctic. The United States looks forward to co-chairing the task force that will help us safeguard this unique environment.
With the Arctic Council's many accomplishments over the past two years and with the many initiatives announced yesterday, the United States believes the Council is in an excellent position to respond to the many new opportunities and challenges facing the region. We left Nuuk tired from a hectic day and a half, but deeply satisfied with the results achieved.

This photo brought back memories...I visited Norway years ago and from Bergen, on the coast of Norway, I went north through the fiords, (fjords), to what seemed like the top of the world. It is beyond description. It was, is, so beautiful. I do hope that the Arctic Council, and their partners, will be able to protect this pristine and unique part of our world.

@ Kerry-Anne Jones,
I was thinking to myself about 3/4 into this documentary that you and the Sec. of State might want to take in a movie together;
I might not be able to provide the popcorn and sodas, but I'm sending this blog post to folks @ Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in the hopes that they'll provide Captain Paul Watson with good cause to come aboard Dipnote; for a public discussion of these issues with you should you find good cause to consider this in the spirit of "Open Government"; to find common ground, or at least an iceburg you both can stand upon in solidarity with treaty obligations and the enforcement of conservation zones. As well as an update on both your's and the Society's ongoing efforts to protect endangered species.
To my recolection, this particular topic has never been raised on this blog before, and I think it's about time it was.
Thanks for your consideration, and I hope folks will entertain this citizen's invitation to think, debate, and find solutions.
Best Regards,

I recently wrote about Hobby Lobby's billionaire CEO, who, in a recent Forbes profile, made it clear how deeply his Christian faith informs his economic decision-making.
This week, in Christianity Today, HOPE International's Chris Horst profiles another Christian business, Blender Products, whose owners Steve Hill and Jim Howey actively work to elevate the practices of the metal fabrication business and, above all, operate their business "unto the Lord."
Their company's foundational verse? Colossians 3:17: "And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
"The metal fabrication business is extremely cutthroat," says Hill. "Workers are given a singular task, and maximum output is demanded. They're simply a factor of production. As a general rule, they have no access to management. There is very little crossover between guys on the floor and guys in the offices."
Hill and Howey aim to subvert the us-versus-them mentality. Many days they walk the shop floor, engaging their workers as peers. Employees on the floor are treated as importantly as the managers, undermining the adversarial culture simmering in many manufacturing businesses.
"The company has tried to abide by a simple philosophy concerning our employees," Steve said. "Pay them well, provide great benefits, and invest in lives…The guys in our shop… know that I'm a human too. I have many of the same struggles they do. Showing humanness to people is key to disarming those stereotypes."
And the employees aren't the only ones who benefit:
The very work that Blender employees accomplish benefits a broader community. On the shop floor, talented metal artisans convert stacks of sheet metal—what looks like an oversized stack of paper—into massive fans that improve the efficiency of machinery by mixing airstreams. Their proprietary mixing designs decrease pollution, reduce machinery fire risks, and improve ventilation wherever they're installed. Fastened in hospitals, schools, office buildings, and factories, they silently make buildings and machines work better and safer.
But although Hill and Howey's Christian values inform the way they conduct their business and treat their employees, the approach has impacted far more than employee paychecks, customer satisfaction, and environmental stewardship:

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Animal lovers rally to help
A lot of things had to go right for the story of Gracie the dog to have a happy ending.
Thankfully, they did.
Gracie, a 6-year-old boxer, ran from the scene of a traffic accident on M-28 near Deerton Sunday afternoon involving the vehicle of Scott Wilson, her owner. In the crash during a whiteout, both Wilson and the driver of the other vehicle received non-life-threatening injuries, but in the confusion during the aftermath, Gracie ran into the woods.
Wilson tried to give chase, but Gracie was gone.
"I thought I'd never see her again," he said.
Instead, as Upper Peninsula residents so often do, people got involved. Wilson, who lives in downstate Shepherd, might have been a stranger, but animal lovers rallied to help when they heard the story through Facebook postings, mainly on the page Lost & Found Paws of the U.P.
In almost no time at all, searchers were combing the woods along M-28 to try to find the lost, frightened pooch who was dragging a six-foot leash. Some even took to snowshoes in an effort to locate the dog.
Tracks were spotted and some caught glimpses of the dog, who was afraid to answer their calls.
Communicating with Wilson's wife, Cathy, downstate, the volunteers were able to help bring Scott back to the scene in hopes Gracie would hear her owner calling her name.
In below-zero weather, these kind Yoopers worked to bring dog and master back together.
Finally, Monday night, some 30 hours after she went missing, Gracie walked up onto Kirsten Englund's porch, right near the crash scene. Englund gently coaxed the dog into the home, then alerted the owners the dog was safe.
Examined at Bayshore Animal Hospital in Marquette, Gracie was in good condition, with some scrapes here and there, but no signs of frostbite despite the brutally cold weather.
Thanks to a group of dedicated Yooper animal lovers, the Wilson family has its beloved dog back. Soon, she'll be back home, enjoying hanging out with her best canine friend, Mr. B.
We salute all who were part of the search for Gracie, including a network of people around the country who, through the Facebook page, were able to root for the happy ending that resulted.
Social media often gets a bad rap, but in this case, it was a useful tool in creating a joyful conclusion to a story that might otherwise have been tragic.

SOUTHAMPTON, England — Britain's Duchess Kate today christened one of the world's largest cruise ships in what is expected to be her last official solo appearance before giving birth.
In a rousing dockside ceremony, the former Kate Middleton, now about eight months pregnant, sliced a blue ribbon with a scissors to send a nebuchadnezzar of Moet & Chandon champagne crashing against the hull of Princess Cruises' new Royal Princess.
RELATED: Royal christenings through the years
PHOTO TOUR: Inside the new Royal Princess
Dressed in a black-and-white Dalmatian print coat and black hat, the 31-year-old wife of Britain's Prince William arrived at the dock in a dark Range Rover and walked the short distance to the christening stage set up near the ship's bow, smiling at the more than 1,500 invited guests as she went. Sitting next to Princess CEO Alan Buckelew, she then watched with the crowd as British singer Natasha Bedingfield took to the stage to perform her 2004 hit Unwritten.
Britain's Duchess of Cambridge christens the new luxury liner Royal Princess in what is expected to be her last solo royal outing before giving birth. Newslook
The duchess said just 16 words during the 30-minute event, which also included a performance by British theater star Kerry Ellis.
"I name this ship Royal Princess," the duchess said after taking the podium, uttering the traditional phrase delivered at so many ship launches. "May God bless her and all who sail in her."
After the bottle smashed, blue and white confetti rained down on the duchess and other attendees, who burst into applause.

Before the duchess arrived, the at-times traditional, at-times contemporary christening ceremony kicked off with a bagpipe serenade by the Pipe Band of the U.K.'s First Battalion Irish Guards, followed by a performance by The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines Portsmouth. The event also included a blessing by the Anglican Bishop of Winchester, England.
In christening the Royal Princess, Duchess Kate was reprising a role played by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who christened an earlier Princess ship of the same name in 1984.
As Buckelew noted during official remarks, Santa Clarita, Calif.-based Princess has historic ties to Britain. For nearly 30 years, the line was part of Britain's Peninsula & Orient Steam Navigation Company (P&O). Princess was acquired by Miami-based Carnival Corp. in 2003.
"We can think of no more fitting godmother for our magnificent new Royal Princess," Buckelew said of Duchess Kate's presence. "Her Royal Highness is an inspiring ambassador for Britain ... and she is admired around the world for her style and grace. We're so honored she accepted our invitation to become godmother to our new ship."
At 141,000 tons, the Royal Princess is the ninth largest cruise ship at sea and the largest ever for Princess. It sets sail on its maiden voyage to the Mediterranean on Sunday.

Greetings to everyone-
I have so enjoyed reading all of the wonderful posts on all of the topics. I just had to sign on and say thank you, thank you, thank you for your years of experience, honesty and kindness that is shared so freely.
I have learned tons and I have a new hobby now!
A little bit about myself- I live in Tucson AZ, lifelong tea drinker, mom, teacher, avid reader and doggy mommy of two boston terriers.
New interests- gung fu, matcha and the ceremony surrounding great tea. I am ordering many samples from adagio to get a start on trying many loose leaf teas. I confess I have been a Twinnings Earl Grey person since age 10.
I am looking forward to trying many of the recommendations I have seen on this forum- and please feel free to make suggestions.
Happy Tea Day!

text: I hav an M1 active and trying to put it on one of my guitars with a 3 22/32 sound hole. I thought these were supposed to fit as small as 3 1/2 inch sound hole, but I can't get it to fit. Is there anything I need to do differently besides simply separating the ends as I do on my other guitar (which it fits with ease)?

The If PRoject
"If there was something someone could have said or done that would have changed the path that lead you here, what would it have been?"
Seattle Police Detective Kim Bogucki posed this question to a group of prisoners at the Washington Correction Center for Women. Initially, it was just posed randomly to the group and inspired some discussion.
On her next visit to WCCW, officer Bogucki was surprised to find this question had incited great inspiration with one inmate, Renata Abramson. Renata had taken it upon herself to share this question with her fellow prisoners. She asked them to take time, really consider the question and write down what they felt. She handed Kim a stack of papers. The question had sparked something in them. Not just a desire to search themselves to find what could have changed their own lives, but a larger desire to impart this information to help others.
The letters were incredibly moving and inspired the project to grow into outreach and education. The ultimate goal is to find answers on how to break the chain of felonies that have brought them all here, in the hopes to prevent others from doing the same.
The IF Project has now grown into a documentary series, with plans for a book of published essays, a traveling exhibit and a multi-platform DVD and curriculum used for teaching youth and parents alike.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (835 votes).
In full: This was my 6th time in this race, I think there will always be walkers in every wave as this is a race that attracts many different abilities, I do think it is getting exspensive! However it is a local race and I will be back again, marshalls were great on the way round and very encouragingDate of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Good race but too many walkers and slow runners in wrong "wave"In full: I enjoyed the race but I spent most of the race having to zigzag past many walkers and slow runners who were in the "white" wave in front of me? I ran in the "green" wave and had to run past hundreds of slow runners and the many walkers, some were walking in the first mile! Very inconsiderate as some were walking in the middle of road. Would definitely not enter in "green" wave again, impossible to get a good time when blocked by so many people obviously in the wrong wave.Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Another excellent GSRIn full: I have run this race for many years and depending on weather always enjoy it and I usually get a good time off the back of a couple of halves completed in September. Traffic is always a problem as there are only two main roads one can use and the race literature clearly states this is a problem and not only on race day. I thought there were less cars on Southsea Common this year so perhaps more people parked in the city car parks - but we all leave using the same road eventually!Weather could have been better but at least we were spared the awful westerly wind and rain that can ruin the last two miles and PBs.I think BUPA events are very well organised when you consider the number of runners involved - but their races are some of the dearest to enter - £40+ for 2013 - but I have already entered so I will be back. Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Good Fast PB CourseIn full: Putting aside the usual problems encounterd with races of this size i.e. runners in the wrong "waves" and walking after two miles (and they were in the "orange" wave?) it is a great PB potential race if you are postioned well in the right "wave". Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Nice and flat for beginners but public transport and getting out of the city horrendous.Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Top day out but expensiveIn full: First 10 miler for me, and enjoyed this one immensely. Excellent crowds and bands along the route as well as enthusiastic locals. Plenty of water/ powerade stations. Perfect course for novices being so flat, and the scenery is interesting, taking in the dockyards, the old town and the seafront. I must be in the minority as well as I found the traffic pretty good- 30 minutes each way to get from the M3 to Southsea common is good going, as Portsmouth can be bad enough on a normal weekend!The bad: the price is well over the top, and the medal is pretty dreadfulDate of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Great but start times need to be looked at..In full: Excellent and thoroughly enjoyable race. My only issue besides the cold weather was that my first 2 to 3 miles was spent dodging slow runners and walkers!!!! This cost me easily over 5 minutes and was incredibly frustrating and its a brilliant course with PB potential. I will definitely be doing it again next year but I will try to get into the orange wave to give myself a chance!!!!Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Well organised race, excellent marshals, could not be flatter!In full: The Great Run people know how to organise a big race like this, everything worked well. Great support around the course from the public, and from the excellent marshals, who didn't have a nice day for standing around. If you've done a race flatter than this it must have been on a track, but the last 2miles is exposed to the wind. One of my pet peeves is groups of people running slowly in a line across the road, and there was plenty of this, along with people walking inside 2 miles. Not sure what the organisers could do about that, though. The experience is spoiled a bit by the awful traffic jams getting away after the run.Date of review: October 29, 2012
In full: Very well organised race with a mixture of club, fun and charity runners. Good support from spectators and marshalls made for a great atmosphere. Fast and flat so a great course for chasing a PB, though not too many other 10 mile races out there. Only complaints are they need to have predicted time markers within each wave to stop slower runners starting from the front as I spent the first 3 miles running sideways as much as forwards trying to dodge people. Also, minor point really but it would help if the lids were taken off bottles before being handed to runners. This is the only race I've done where they don't do this.Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Good race but chaotic startIn full: I actually enjoyed this race but the start was dreadful. As usual people totally overestimating their finish time and holding up faster runners. Spent the 1st mile and a half dodging slower runners which cost time. Decent flat route and good support pretty much all the way roundDate of review: October 29, 2012

OCZ Technology Group on Thursday unveiled its new series of PCI Express-based solid-state drives (SSDs) aimed at workstations. The new RevoDrive X2 doubles capacities of RevoDrive designed for performance enthusiasts and released earlier this year.
The new RevoDrive X2 are available in 240GB, 360GB, 480GB and 960GB capacities, feature internal RAID 0 for maximum performance as well as four SandForce SF1222 controllers to further boost bandwidth and efficiency. Thanks to the upgrades, the new SSDs deliver unprecedented read speed of up to 740MB/s, write speed of up to 720MB/s and up to 120 000 IOPS. The drive is compatible with PCI Express x4 slot and does not rely on Serial ATA or SAS interfaces.
Power consumption of the new drive is just 3W in idle mode and 8W in active mode, which is very low given up to 740MB/s read speed.
"The original OCZ RevoDrive SSD was designed to be the first high-performance, bootable PCIe SSD solution and has become a popular choice for demanding computing applications that require faster, more reliable storage. We are excited to introduce the RevoDrive X2, which delivers both increased performance and capacity, making the RevoDrive X2 a viable option for a wide spectrum of applications that include professional graphic design, multimedia rendering, and workstations," said Ryan Petersen, chief executive officer of OCZ Technology.
The RevoDrive X2 is bootable, unlike some competing PCIe solutions, to ensure quicker start-ups and load times compared to mechanical hard drives, a major plus for workstation PCs. The RevoDrive X2 thrives in a wide range of computing environments including demanding database and server applications as well as multi-media creation and management.
Pricing of OCZ RevoDrive X2 is unknown, but given position of the series, it is unlikely that the new SSDs will be affordable.

The Vionic Montego is a casual women's leather slide sandal with snake print leather strap.
Vionic with Orthaheel Technology brings science plus style to new heights. Orthaheel technology provides biomechanically contoured support concealed within contemporary designs ranging from sporty casuals to ballet flats and wedges.
Vionic Montego White Snake Leather Women's Sandal
Features include:
For the greatest comfort, we recommend wearing your new Vionic with Orthaheel Technology footwear or orthotics for just a few hours for the first few days to allow your feet to adjust to the new level of orthotic comfort and support.
Within one to two weeks you should find the product completely comfortable and supportive.
Have other sandal Vionics in a size 10 which fit perfectly. This size 10 was way too large. May try it in a 9. Loved the look and love the Orthaheel technology. Have severe plantar fasciitis in my right foot and the arch support really helps.
I purchased the white in size 11 and they were too narrow, my feet were spilling off the sides. I have thin, wide flat feet so I need a wider footbed around my arch as well as good arch support. I also found the sandals to be wobbly and I'm used to heels. The leather straps for me were fine but I have seen a lot of reviews complaining about them being too stiff.
The platform wedge is very comfortable but sadly the top leather on my right foot is too unforgiving. I can not wear these without getting an open sore. I should have sent them back but I tried really hard to break them in to no avail. Perhaps they would work for people without a high arch.
I already owned 2 pair of orthoheel shoes and they are very comfortable. I have wide feet and also plantar fasciitis. The arch and meta tarsel support is wonderful for me. These sandals also have comfortable footbed, but the leather straps on top was hard. So they got sent back.
This platform wedge is super comfortable. Unlike other wedges this one doesn't pitch you so forward onto the ball of your foot. This keeps you in comfortable position which makes it easier to wear this all day. The snakeskin is a nice touch and make the shoe a bit more trendy.
