350 Chev - fuel filter / gallons per hour?
Guys. I've been trying to fix an annoying 'cutting-out' fault which happens under load with my 32 sedan, which I've traced to the gas supply. I'm running a crate SBC (basic spec) with Edelbrock Performer inlet and carb (all clean), with a Mr Gasket mechanical fuel pump (no problems here). Done only 2000 miles since I build it.
I think the culprit is my in-line fuel filter causing too much obstruction. I'm using alumium hard lines with AN fittings and an Earl's in-line aluminum filter with a sintered bronze element, between the tank and the pump. The filter element has got dirtier and despite cleaning in gas its looking a bit clogged after my first 2000 miles. Looking at the Earls catalog again it says the filter is good for only 4 or 5 gallons per hour-which seems low. Taking the element out seems to give loads more gas. Here's my questions-
How much fuel per hour would a small block demand when its pulling hard?
Does a mechanical pump work on suction or pumping? - ie does it need a free flow siphon effect out of the tank, and then blasts it up to the carb??
I think I need less restriction in the tank-to-pump line. Can I safely lose this rear filter and just have one after the pump before the carb? or should I go for a simple mesh filter at the tank end to keep the big stuff out of the pump?
Maybe I should expect to replace the mesh pretty often, or maybe just this once now the build-up muck has come through the system?
I'd be grateful for your advice, thanks guys

Just testing to see if I can post a reply....
Any thoughts appreciated
4-5 gallons per hour is not enough for a performance engine.
60 gallons per hour would be sufficient but still a little low.
Block mounting pumps suck not blow...er push
I would use the rear filter just to keep the pump clean. The sock on the pickup tube in the tank can be safely used.
Clean the tank really well next time you have it apart and this should fix you fuel delivery problems.
Thanks for that Johnsongrass
The way I see it if I get 15 miles per gallon at 60 mph cruise then its using 4 gallons per hour. Mash the pedal and fuel flow goes way up - but not sure how much?
I'll install a gauze-type filter in the rear line to hopefully restore full flow of gas. Any thoughts? Limey
You definately need to upgrade that filter. If the tank has some kind of screen, I would eleminate it all together and just run an inline filter between the carb and pump. I usually just run straight from the tank, screen or not, to the pump and then through a filter, but that is just me.

In this March 11 this year photo, shutters are seen down in Ishwardi Alhaz intersection area of Pabna district during a dawn-to-dusk hartal (shutdown) called by BNP.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said the ongoing political instability is affecting the economic activities of Bangladesh.
"Unrest in recent months is affecting economic activity, with real GDP (gross domestic product) growth now expected to moderate to below 6 percent in fiscal year 2013 (July 2012-June 2013)," said a statement of an IMF Mission published on April 2.
The mission came to Dhaka on a 14-day visit from March 20 to conduct discussions on the second review under a three-year Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement and made the statement after concluding the visit.
The ECF was approved on April 11, 2012 in a total amount equivalent to Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) 639.96 million.
"To safeguard growth performance and consolidate macro-economic stability gains, the authorities reaffirmed their commitment to undertaking prudent policies and building external buffers. They will also advance critical structural reforms aimed at expanding tax revenues, improving public financial management, and ensuring a stable, well-governed financial system," the statement added.
It also appreciated the enhancement of the country's economy saying, "Despite global uncertainties, economic developments have been broadly as envisaged. Exports are picking up, remittances remain strong, reserves continue to rise, and inflation pressures have eased, supported by restrained fiscal and monetary policies."
"Quantitative targets under the ECF arrangement are broadly on track, with all performance criteria met at end-December 2012, except the ceiling on nonconcessional external debt, as reported at the time of completion of the first ECF review."
"Progress continues to be made on structural measures, highlighted by a new VAT law now firmly moving in the implementation phase," the statement added.
During its Dhaka visit, the members of the mission met with the finance minister, Bangladesh Bank governor, finance secretary, and other senior officials, and development partners.
The mission welcomed the authorities' continued commitment to the implementation of their reform program, which is being supported by the ECF.
It also wishes to thank them for the excellent cooperation and warm hospitality during the visit.
At the conclusion of the visit, David Cowen, the outgoing mission chief for Bangladesh, and Rodrigo Cubero, the incoming mission chief, made the statement.

What are the historical developments of the cell theory, in particular, the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The study of cell biology has been inseparable from the evolution of the microscope. The beginning of the cell biology can be visualized in the 15th century when da Vinci in 1485 has stressed upon the use of lenses in viewing small objects. The first compound microscope was made by Robert Hooke (1665). He examined thin slices of cork under his microscope and observed that the cork was composed of box-like compartments which were termed as the cells by him. Robert Brown was a palaeobotanist. He gave details of the cell nucleus and cytoplasmic streaming.

Sixth series of Aussie crime drama no match for no-holds-barred look into the life of a heavy metal legend.
In preparation for the launch of an eagerly anticipated new local reality show tomorrow night, I've looked to a couple of unusual places for my television viewing.
That much-anticipated show is, of course, The Life and Times of Temuera Morrison, which screens at 9pm tomorrow on TV One. I'm keen to catch it.
And anyway, six months inside the life of the great New Zealand actor might be some comfort after the recent sad news that The Ridges won't be coming back to TV3 with a second series, despite offering such a unique take on the essential tragedy of celebrity life in New Zealand.
So, as I said, I tuned my recent viewing to set the mood for the momentous launch, and found two perfect opening acts. The first, on Wednesday on TV3, suitably late at 9.30pm, was the launch of Squizzy, the sixth series from the tried and true Australian crime drama brand Underbelly. Concentrating, as always, on the issues of sex and violence - or the omnipresent potential for them - and shot in the trademark gaudy quick-cut style of a music video, Squizzy didn't quite carry the lethal punch of some of the earlier Underbelly series.
Reaching way back into history this time for its dramatised life of an Aussie hardman, Squizzy plays through the short and sordid life and career of Leslie "Squizzy" Taylor, self-styled, short-arsed bad bugger of the apparently lively Melbourne crime scene of a century ago.
Despite all the careful period costuming, there's still no trouble getting them off, though not always for the usual reason - Squizzy being quite keen on gazing at himself naked in his full-length mirror.
But his teeth are too nice and the cops too ugly, the acting mostly too naff and the cars and costumes too perfect to make this one feel like much more than the last squirt of an overproduced formula show.
Also, I much prefer a show where I might like the lead character - a show perhaps like last week's episode of Prime Rocks (Prime, Thursday, 9.40pm), the first in a two-part bio-documentary called, in a nice self-explanatory way, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne. Produced by Jack Osbourne, one the great heavy metal singer's six children, the feature-length doco - split in two for TV screening - promised to go "inside the mind of a legendary cultural figure" and indeed it did.
It also went on the road with him, stalking Ozzy closely, backstage, onstage, back at the hotel, trying to remember which day it is, not to mention where he is or what it all means.
All this came artfully interspersed with interviews - Osbourne opening up, in honest, f-word infested style, friends, family, bandmates, famous admirers, including even Sir Paul McCartney. And wife Sharon, naturally.
The documentary might have been an inside job, but it didn't hold back in telling the remarkable tale of a thicko from Birmingham, so crap at being a criminal he joined a band instead and helped invent heavy metal, making himself an unlikely and deathless superstar in the process.
Angry children from Osbourne's first marriage lifted this life story to a new level, one of them recalling of their famous father, "When he was around and he wasn't pissed, he was a great father". Mostly, though, he wasn't a great father.
Said Osbourne himself, "I've had a crazy life and it ain't over yet". Neither is God Bless Ozzy Osbourne. The second part screens this Thursday. It's a fabulous human story. Hopefully like the Temuera Morrison one will be.
But more on that next week.

On a question how would he rate it on the 1-10 scale, he answered: "Overall I would say an 8. Solid feel, good camera, responsive UI, and nice little touches on the body construction".
The guy insisted to know what's holding it back from 9 or 10, and if the camera was as good as rumored, so Joe Martini shed some more light: "Yeah, the camera was good, but I didn't have optimal lighting. I'd like a larger screen too."
From these tweets, and Nokia's clarifications that it won't be ready with a truly high-end WP device this year, we can speculate that the Nokia Windows Phone (s) that will be announced in October will probably hover in the mid-range category, similar to the Nokia 703 rumor we saw the other day.
"I'd like a larger screen" might mean anything, and most likely something below 4", while "slickest looking" could imply this full-colored polycarbonate the Nokia N9 is using, and which Nokia's design head said will be in a lot of the company's phones from now on, but let's not get ahead of ourselves before Nokia World on October 26.

Content distribution is always a hot topic – most marketers now realize the potential in getting their content seen and building an audience online – yet two out of three native advertising campaigns aren't successful, according to Chartbeat.
Chris Rooke, vice president of strategy and operations at Nativo, and Daryl Wong, media supervisor at Grey, delivered a great session at last week's ClickZ Live San Francisco in which they discussed the progress of native content distribution and explain the shifting landscape of digital advertising and online consumer behavior.
New Era of Digital Advertising
Rooke and Wong began by explaining how we're moving away from the days of more direct, interruption based marketing – ad click-through rates are flatling (0.7 percent on average) and video skip rates are skyrocketing (72 percent).
That means you need to be smarter in your approach, and more informative/useful in order to create engagement and provide real value to the consumer:
Main Challenge Is Scaling Quality Content
Seventy-eight percent of chief marketing officers (CMOs) agree that custom content is the future of digital marketing. That's a huge sign of where things are going, yet custom content isn't always easy to scale – which means you need to have a clear process and idea on what your audience wants, and how you can deliver it to them.
Content Strategy
Within your content strategy, you need to consider what will resonate best with your users. Rooke and Wong recommend taking the Malcolm Gladwell approach and hitting the sweet spot between "last of the few," "power of context," and "stickiness factor":
Having this target audience in mind will help you to set clear objectives, whether that's attention and engagement, discovery and awareness, establishing expertise/thought leadership, driving consideration/favorability, or customer acquisition/retention.
Ideation Signals
Once you know your target audience, you need to come up with great ideas which you can deliver on – this means you should understand and learn more about your customers to gain valuable insights, try digging into:
- Client data – brand website data, client CRM data, client feedback/surveys
- Twitter – hashtag trending data
- Bit.ly – content consumption on-site, off-site, and look alike
- Facebook – graph API analytics
- Pinterest – insights API analytics
The next step is content production – and if you don't have an internal team; Rooke and Wong recommend outsourced to the likes of Newscred, Visual.ly, Contently, Poptent, Tidal, and ClearVoice.
Native Content Dos and Don'ts
The first challenge is always in knowing what audience works best for your audience. If two out of three campaigns fail, you need to learn from these mistakes. You want to take these learnings into your campaign setups and make sure you're in that winning third:
- Design a straightforward content strategy
- Remain consistent of the brand objectives
- Give prescience to what is amazing about your brand
- Be sure you are telling a story
- Test and optimize everything
- Re-purpose ad copy
- Create content of the sake of it
- Follow a formula
- Produce content in a VCR manual-esque manner
Paid, Earned, and Owned Media
Amplification plays a very important role in linking up paid, earned, and owned media:
Often, people create great content with a solid strategy and target audience in mind – but if the promotion is not executed effectively, then the potential is never reached. For best results you need your strategy, production, and promotion to work in concert – which means it needs to be integrated into your full paid, owned, and earned media plan.
True native distribution strategy should be contextually relevant and non-interruptive – this means that it should appear natural to the user as an informative story, not as an interruption-based advert.
See its positioning here across both desktop and mobile:
The other native tactics you could use include in-feed or stream ads (click out) and content recommendations (based on bidding algorithm).
Native advertising has a 15 to 45 times higher click-through rate (CTR) than display! This was the stat that I was most surprised by, although it does make sense – banner blindness means you really have to stand out and add value, which is what content is there for. Whether advertised or not, to have the biggest impact it needs to be able to resonate with its audience.
Other interesting stats included:
- 80 percent of users view article previews
- 18 times time spent on content – more than 90 seconds
- 10 times engagement rates – less than 5 percent adjusted bounce rates on native landing pages
- 76 percent recall the brand name and context of the sponsored content
- 40 percent higher brand lift vs. banners
- 50 percent higher purchase intent vs. banners
Rooke and Wong ended the presentation by explaining the campaigns they had run, targeted specifically to their customer demographics – this showed a 46 percent uplift in purchase consideration, 91 percent said the content was useful, and 70 percent were likely to tell a friend about the brand.
All in all, a very successful journey into the world of native content distribution!

Leyton Orient kept their promotion dream alive with a 2-1 victory over Peterborough in the League One play-off semi-final. Dean Cox scored his 16th goal of the season and Chris Dagnall added a late second to send Russell Slade's side to Wembley for the first time in 15 years.
Conor Washington pulled one back for the away side in added time but it is Orient, who led the table for much of the campaign only to fall away during the run-in and finish third, who are just one match away from following Wolves and Brentford into the Championship next season.
The sides were level at 1-1 after a first leg which Orient had dominated, and they continued in the same vein at Brisbane Road. They created chance after chance while Peterborough were happy to play on the break, knowing their 33-goal top scorer, Britt Assombalonga, was lying in wait at the other end.
David Mooney almost put them ahead in the opening minute from a long throw into the area but was denied by a scrum of defenders and, eventually, goalkeeper Bobby Olejnik. Kevin Lisbie hit the side-netting with an overhead kick and sent a header narrowly over while Mooney's dipping 20-yard shot flew narrowly wide.
Orient midfielder Luke James was next to try his luck with a 25-yarder which had Olejnik scrambling low down to his right to tip the ball around the post.
The chance Peterborough craved arrived moments into the second half when Danny Swanson was put through by Nicky Ajose – but he made a mess of it. With Assombalonga pleading for the ball to be squared across the six-yard box for a tap-in, Swanson opted to shoot from the angle and missed by a distance. If that was a let-off for Orient they were relieved again moments later when Mark Little fired in a fierce, low drive which shaved the post.
Instead it was the home side who made the breakthrough on the hour mark when they were awarded a free kick on the edge of the area. Cox's fierce shot hit Jack Baldwin in the chest and, unluckily for the Peterborough defender, bounced straight back to where it had come from. Cox immediately pounced on the rebound, lashing it past Olejnik to spark wild scenes of celebration behind the goal.
With two minutes remaining Dagnall turned in a pass from fellow substitute Shaun Batt and although Washington bundled home in added time to set up a nervy finale, Orient held out to book a Wembley final against Preston or Rotherham.

|Not tired yet: B's chase Roberto Luongo, force Game 7
|06.13.11 at 11:07 pm ET
By DJ Bean and Scott McLaughlin
The Bruins weren't ready to see their season end or willing to watch the Canucks raise the Stanley Cup on their ice Monday and it showed, as they chased Roberto Luongo at the Garden again in a 5-2 win at TD Garden to force a Game 7 of the finals. The Cup winner will be determined at Rogers Arena in Vancouver Wednesday night.
Brad Marchand opened the scoring at 5:31 with his third goal in the last four games. With nine goals this postseason, he has set the postseason record for a Bruins rookie.
Milan Lucic followed with a goal of his own at 6:06, and an Andrew Ference power-play goal at 8:35 ended Luongo's night early in favor of Cory Schneider. Luongo has now gotten the hook in two games this series, both of which were at the Garden.
Michael Ryder and David Krejci chipped in goals as well, with Krejci's coming on the power play in the third period. The Canucks got contributions on the scoreboard from Henrik Sedin (his first point of the finals) and Maxim Lapierre. Tim Thomas has now allowed eight goals over six games this series.
Wednesday night will be the Bruins' third Game 7 in four rounds this postseason,as they eliminated both the Canadiens and Lightning in seven games. The Canucks beat the Blackhawks in seven games, their only seven-game series this postseason.
– Luongo was bad once again, and it seemed that all it took was Marchand's goal, an absolute rifle glove-side, so open up the floodgates. The Bruins certainly have a way of getting to the highly-scrutinized Canucks netminder in Boston, as he has now allowed 15 goals in less than two games' worth of play at TD Garden this series. The problem when it comes to the play of Luongo vs. the Bruins, of course, is that he has not had such issues in Vancouver. He's allowed just two goals over three games and has posted two shutouts.
– The Bruins talked a lot about getting more traffic in front of the net after being shut out in Game 5, and they certainly did that Monday night. Their third and fourth goals came as the direct result of having bodies in front. Mark Recchi set a perfect screen on Ference's power-play goal that chased Luongo from the game. A minute later Ryder got in front of Schneider and tipped Tomas Kaberle's shot into the top corner. Needless to say, continuing to get traffic to the net will be a key for the Bruins in Game 7.
– A couple of nice statistical nights for the defensemen. Kaberle had a pair of assists on the night, giving him 11 points this postseason — the most among Boston defensemen. Ference led all B's in ice time.
On a more peculiar note (and this may not necessarily be bad), Dennis Sieidenberg didn't see the ice from until 1:22 of the third period until 11:32 and was not on the bench for a time. We'll see whether this was equipment or injury-related.
– While the Bruins dominated the first period with relative ease, but Vancouver did come to life from there. The Canucks seemed to regain focus with Schneider in net and spent far more time in the Bruins' zone. Three power plays will do that, but it should be taken as a sign that just because Luongo collapses, doesn't mean the hole team does. The Canucks outshot the B's, 11-8, in the second period and opened the third period by finally getting on the board.
Jannik Hansen thought he had made it 4-2 shortly after, though his shot rang off the post and bounced back as though it had gone in and out. Were it not for the Canucks handing the B's a 1:13 two-man advantage (on which Krejci scored) with 13:49 to play, the Canucks could have really put a serious fight to make it a close one.
– The idea of a brother Sedin scoring on the power play was something people were prepared to get used to entering the series, but the Bruins had done an excellent job of keeping both the Sedins and the Canucks' power play silent. Henrik got plenty fancy in beating Thomas for his third-period goal. The tally was his third goal of the postseason and his 22nd point, putting him in a tie with Krejci for the postseason lead in the latter category until Krejci scored to jump back ahead.
– For the first time in his NHL career, Patrice Bergeron was called for four penalties in one game, three of them in the second period. First he was whistled for goaltender interference when he steamrolled Schneider while trying to tip home a centering pass. Then he went off for hauling down Ryan Kesler behind the play. And in the final minute of the period, his elbow came up a little too high while throwing a hit on Christian Ehrhoff. In the third, he and Alexandre Burrows earned matching minors for extracurriculars after the Bruins' fifth goal. The eight penalty minutes were a new career-high for Bergeron, beating his previous high of seven on April 18, 2009, against the Canadiens. That was also a playoff game — Game 2 of what became a four-game sweep.
|Bruins-Canucks Live Blog: Maxim Lapierre cuts B's lead to 5-2

Join DJ Bean, Mike Petraglia, Joey the Fish and plenty others from TD Garden for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals. It's real simple for the Bruins: win or watch the Canucks hoist the Cup on the B's ice.
|Who is the biggest villain on the Canucks? You be the judge
|06.12.11 at 12:19 am ET
You're going to find this hard to believe, but there are about five area codes full of people in New England who don't like certain members of the Canucks these days. Some of it stems from the fact the Bruins are in a 3-2 Stanley Cup finals hole. But it stretches beyond just the issues that face Claude Julien's team as it sits on the brink of elimination.
It has gotten personal.
Which Canucks player is the biggest villain?
- Alexandre Burrows (63%, 239 Votes)
- Maxim Lapierre (20%, 76 Votes)
- Aaron Rome (9%, 36 Votes)
- Daniel and Henrik Sedin (4%, 15 Votes)
- Roberto Luongo (3%, 13 Votes)
Total Voters: 379
So the question is this: Which member of the Canucks has raised your ire the most? The choices are …
Age: 30
Position: Wing
Reason for ire: Burrows got the animosity kicked into high gear in Game 1 when he (allegedly) chomped down on Patrice Bergeron's finger. Making matters worse was when the NHL offered no disciplinary action, leading to Burrows scoring two goals in Game 2, including the game-winner in overtime. Milan Lucic eased the pain of Bruins fans a bit in Game 3 by first pounding the forward's head during a scrum, and then taunting him by offering his own finger. Yet, still, Burrows has already ingrained himself in Boston sports lore with his dastardly actions.
Age: 32
Position: Goalie
Reason for ire: Luongo was cruising along through the finals, simply serving as the other team's goalie who had some good games, and (much to the delight of Bruins fans) some really bad ones. But then came the press conference following Game 5, when he uttered the following phrase regarding Max Lapierre's goal against Tim Thomas: 'It's not hard if you're playing in the paint,' Luongo said of the difficulty of the play. 'It's an easy save for me, but if you're wandering out and aggressive like he does, that's going to happen. He might make some saves that I won't, but in a case like that, we want to take advantage of a bounce like that and make sure we're in a good position to bury those.' Matters were only made worse Saturday when Luongo not only didn't back off the statement, but commented about how Thomas hadn't complimented him (see video below).
Age: 26
Position: Center
Reason for ire: Lapierre first entered Bruins' fans radar in Game 2 when he took "Bite-Gate" to another level, taunting Bergeron by holding out his finger as an offering to pull a "Burrows." Boston's Mark Recchi enacted some revenge by executing the same sort of shenanigans in Game 3, presenting his own finger to Lapierre for a sampling. Then came the ultimate disgrace in the eyes of Bruins fans: Lapierre scored the game-winner in Game 5. In the eyes of Boston fans, simply unacceptable.
Age: 27
Position: Defenseman
Reason for ire: He left his feet to deliver the crushing open-ice hit on Nathan Horton that resulted in a concussion and the Bruins losing one of their top scorers for the rest of the playoffs. Sure, Rome tried to reach out to Horton to express his concern for the winger, and the NHL suspended Rome for four games, a period that will cover the rest of the Stanley Cup finals.
None of that is of any consolation to the Bruins, who lost one of their top offensive players while the Canucks go without a third-pairing defenseman. Most New Englanders viewed the play as dirty, and with the B's offense sputtering in Game 5, it certainly could have been a difference-maker in the series.
Ages: 31
Position: Forward
Reason for ire: The were supposed to represent the reason Bruins fans should be wary of going up against the Canucks, but have done little live up to their reputation. They have been pushed around, with nary a sign of fighting back with what can be a boatload of hockey wizardry. But besides the fact that the twins are being viewed as posers by many who follow the B's, also not helping their reputation was the pregame introduction the pair executed prior to Game 2, in which they called Burrows a vegetarian.

VANCOUVER — Join DJ Bean and a cast of other from Vancouver for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals. The B's are looking for their first series lead.
|Tim Thomas shuts out Canucks, Bruins even series
|06.08.11 at 10:57 pm ET
By DJ Bean and Scott McLaughlin
The Bruins evened the Stanley Cup finals up at two games apiece Wednesday night at TD Garden, chasing Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo on the way to a 4-0 win. Tim Thomas picked up his third shutout of the playoffs.
Rich Peverley, seeing time on the first line with Nathan Horton out for the remainder of the playoffs, had a two-goal night for the Bruins. His second of the night chased Luongo in the third period, making way for Marblehead native and former Boston College goalie Cory Schnieder. Peverley had entered the game with two goals the entire postseason.
Michael Ryder and Brad Marchand also scored for the B's. Both players have scored in consecutive games.
As for Thomas, he has now allowed only five goals over his last five games, and one goal over the last two. He took a vicious hack at Alexandre Burrows after the Vancouver winger cross-checked him in the third period. Thomas took a slashing minor for the play.
The pre-game ceremonies were topped off by Bruins legend Bobby Orr waving a No. 18 flag in honor of Horton. With the B's leading in the third period, chants of "Nathan Horton" filled the arena.
The B's and Canucks will head to Vancouver for Friday's Game 5. The teams will return to the Garden for Game 6 on Monday, the last Bruins' home game of the season.
– Claude Julien's decision to give both Peverley and Ryder time on the first line in place of Horton paid off. David Krejci gave a nice pass to Peverley in the neutral zone in the first period, and Peverley flew past Raffi Torres en route to beating Luongo on a breakaway. Even following the goal, Ryder continued to see time with Krejci and Milan Lucic. Lucic and Krejci picked up assists on Peverley's third-period goal, which chased Luongo from the game.
– Marchand was clearly a man on a mission, and for the second straight game, he was able to cash in. No, his second-period goal wasn't anywhere near as pretty as his shorthanded goal in Game 3, but he certainly displayed a high level of skill and fanciness in putting together sound rushes. He also displayed his signature feistiness, though he needed to be calmed down a couple of times after dives from Henrik Sedin.
– We wrote here after Game 3 that the Bruins did a good job exposing Luongo's weak glove — three of Monday's goals beat the netminder high to the glove side. Ryder continued that trend in Game 4 when he snapped off a fluttering shot that Luongo just waved at with the leather. Luongo might've been screened a bit by his own defenseman, but it was still a shot he should've had. It wasn't a rocket and it wasn't a snipe — it was actually only about two feet off the ice. Not every shot high-glove is going to go in, but the Bruins would be well-advised to keep shooting there until Luongo proves he can stop it.
– When it came to his normal role as a third-liner, Ryder got some help from an old friend in Tyler Seguin. The rookie turned in a characteristically timid play in the Canucks' zone, stopping short of going in the corner and allowing the Canucks to break it out as a result, but made up for it later in the shift by feeding Ryder.
Seguin's assist was his first point since Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Bruins are going to need both Ryder and Seguin to turn in big performances going forward, and on Wednesday Seguin showed that the good can outweigh the growing pains.
– When Peverley scored with 8:01 left in the first, shots were 7-5 Vancouver. Whether the Bruins eased up a little after the goal or the Canucks just picked up their play, shots for the rest of the period were 5-1 in favor of Vancouver. The Canucks didn't generate a ton of sustained pressure or long offensive-zone possessions, but they were able to get shots on rushes and force Thomas to make some quality saves. The shot deficit carried over into the second, as Vancouver registered eight of the period's first nine shots. The Bruins pressured Vancouver's defense plenty during the first eight minutes of the second — even controlled play at times — but they couldn't translate it into shots.
-At 16:10 of the first period, Marchand was called for cross-checking Kevin Bieksa. At full speed, it was easy to see why the ref thought it was a penalty, but replay showed that it was a pretty soft call. Bieksa had lost an edge and was already falling to the ice when Marchand barely got his stick on Bieksa's back. Luckily, it didn't cost the Bruins thanks to another great penalty kill.
Bieksa later rewrote the book on embellishment when he grabbed his face following a check from Mark Recchi in the third period. He apparently sold it well enough, as Recchi was sent to the box for high-sticking despite not making contact with his face in any way. Yes, Recchi should have controlled his stick better, but that's a tough break when you don't commit the infraction.

In an announcement on Square's website today, CEO Jack Dorsey announced Starbucks signed up to accept payments from customers through the Pay with Square iOS app via Square's iPhone credit card readers and merchant app. Dorsey also confirmed functionality would roll out to nearly 7,000 Starbucks locations soon, while Starbucks locations will be added to the Square Directory. The Square Directory will also soon be accessible from a number of Starbucks platforms including the Starbucks Digital Network and mobile payment app. Starbucks announced in its own press release that it would invest $25 million in Square, while Starbucks' chairman, president, and CEO, Howard Schultz, will join Square's board of directors. On top of credit cards, Starbucks will use Square to handle debit payments, which the company said would reduce overall payment processing costs.
Beginning this fall, in addition to the existing iPhone® and Android™ Starbucks mobile payment applications, Starbucks customers will be able to use Pay with Square to pay for their purchases at participating company operated Starbucks locations in the U.S. Customers simply need to download the Pay with Square application and set up an account on their iPhone® or Android™ device.
More than two-thirds of the 27 million small businesses in the U.S. currently do not accept credit or debit cards, in large part because of the expensive interchange fees associated with payment processing, cumbersome application process and required credit checks. Square enables merchants of any size – from sole proprietors to national retailers – to accept credit and debit cards.

I have learned a very valuable lesson and feel fortunate to be able to work and still travel. I feel very badly for those who can no longer do that as a result of a very selfish company.

Mario Diaz de Leon on the Primal Force of Sound
The music of electroacoustic composer Mario Diaz draws from a wide sonic palette including underground metal, modern composition and electronic music. He's a regular collaborator with International Contemporary Ensemble, has written music for Talea Ensemble and TILT Brass and has had his music performed by Eighth Blackbird and JACK Quartet. He also releases music under the moniker Oneirogen.
Mario Diaz de Leon writes the following of his Mixtape:
Giacinto Scelsi and Iancu Dumitrescu were very early inspirations, and their music has taught me invaluable lessons about the primal force of sound, and on invoking the inner resonance of instruments. "You could say that this distortion in the sound comes from the attempt to release or unveil the God that is living in every piece of base matter." (Dumitrescu)
The Wet Ink Ensemble is surely one of the most vital new music entities working today, not only for their advocacy but also for their rich and focused aesthetic vision. Two works featured here – by composer/performers Eric Wubbels and Sam Pluta – are a sampling of a group working at the height of personal expression and community.
Freude (Joy), for two singing harpists, is a late serial masterwork by Stockhausen, and a setting of the Pentecost hymn "Veni Creator Spiritus." Although I have heard some describe it as "nightmarish", for me the music evokes a lucid and radiant awakening.
Maryanne Amacher (1938-2009), who studied with Stockhausen, was a great mentor and friend of mine. It sounds tremendous as is, however what we hear in this recording was a basic "impetus" for her, as breath is the impetus for the sound of a flute. Her true art lied in the realization of the sound travelling in the architectures (instruments) she chose to work in.
My work as a composer would not be possible without ICE, for whom I have written ten new works since 2006. I have included clarinetist Joshua Rubin's masterful recording of "The Soul is the Arena", which opens his debut solo release.
I discovered Xenakis and Ikeda in 1999-2000 – an exciting time when I made my first steps towards classical composition. During this time I also met the group that would become the Shinkoyo collective, and Doron Sadja has been one of my many close collaborators over the last 14 years. His recent work keeps the spirit alive.

Let's go to New York. I talked to somebody we've we've had a motto all year long why should we have -- today as well Mike to Rico. But the SP and joining us from the -- hi Mike hello gentleman -- you work -- -- well. I am OK you should see Manhattan Manhattan is. It's really for anyway as a kid who grew up in New York I never thought I'd see the day one and your host of the suitable. But Times Square and Herald Square there are many Bostonians have been to New York from you know 34 street on up to the mid forties probably shut down. For the Super Bowl would Super Bowl boulevard engineered by GMC has taken -- the over Monica sixty foot to -- That's up it's just the most bizarre thing is a native new Yorker to come here she. Debate -- but that's it was gonna ask you about it is you know people say nothing can take over New York city's biggest Super Bowl is. New York is so much bigger than birdies in the Super Bowl has the Super Bowl taken over New York. I think I think -- portions yes the midtown portion around these events apps whose are so many people walking around. You can have events and in this city and you don't notice they're going on I immediately used the -- areas saw. Broncos fans Seahawks fans people were -- walk -- rarely sees so -- it's a big deal to it to me that New York is believed to have. Even Thursday it was two days ago that kind of an imprint and impact. Because -- -- simple little bit surprised -- Mike I've adopted Marshawn Lynch is it looked as -- out -- than others on my third and who -- also one of my favorite players relief now. Is different so much attention given his performance. These speeches or lack thereof -- junior day. Have you ever had an opportunity. To talk with them at length and if so how was that. Not at length. Brief conversations overtime hero over the years you know. I think it puts a little bit of pressure on I hate the word legacy and often anymore so -- has a legacy. We better be great to have a legacy of these third running back. -- just puts a lot of pressure going forward on him because if he doesn't play well he'll be off. That was the that was being guided didn't want to talk to the Super Bowl committee could back it up you know so. I hope that it doesn't become. A measuring stick for everything Marshall which Oscars become. Because he has not been. Once who briefs the media here this week I was guys just deal with the best they can look at -- talk much of the -- fifteen minutes and move on. He seemed to acquiesce lightly here is that we put on put. That's his his prerogative I don't judge it was a football player by his willingness to talk or not stop it just you know -- OP. Continues to play well I'm glad at least that he stays true to what he does all year. And it doesn't seek the media try to. Become one of the -- portable figures in the -- who do you think the country's route before. I think. The majority. -- kept it casual fans are rooting for him for. These are great like ability. Of Peyton Manning the story. Overcoming an active mobile and the commercials. It is great Q rating and so many viewers of the Super Bowl are. Moms Graham is casual fans so I think there's an impact there. The Seattle story I think would be more embraced and appreciated people do better. Everything from Pete Carroll to Russell Wilson. To within rebuild that seem to be area of twelfth man so I I think Seattle could be but it will be Denver picture. What was your take on Richard Sherman the the initial thing was Richard. After the -- just -- game and commentary coming from all over what -- what would it take. At a -- all the noise on. Well. Look you know Richard Sherman then if you do you know that this is not an act. A dvd as quick anecdote I was watching the Super Bowl the NFC championship games are. With a bunch of friends and it was interesting to see the room react to the Sherman -- variances. I just has said and I'm usually one who has very little tolerance for the self involved aptly calls attention -- give me him the greatest. I was I was -- with -- guys that's Richard Richard to Smart guys intelligent man at Stanford educated. When we do seahawk games we've paid to do meetings with the general Thomas together. Could the most entertaining informative football conversation. We have with the defensive backs all year. So I'd say with a grain of salt I understand what it's all about. The reality is this is the way he's wired and I appreciate that he's gotten on the big stage not acquiesced to what we want. Our athletes to conform to this is what he has. -- apologize for the novel Q -- might we know you gotta run so we'll let you go let me just say that it's a bummer that ESPN is not in the Super Bowl rotation would be great to have you call one of these games so hopefully one day in the future. That that is an icy to say and I appreciate that and I know I -- a different Joseph Bachmann and he's gonna do a great job but. Any of us who are involved in this you wanna do over the weekend at the highest level this is the best and I appreciate him it means. Well we -- I want all you would talk like him. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And I mean that would you like a Mike to Rico -- gruden called Super -- but -- -- I would I would like to I mean I think he is he's one of those voices iconic voices and I don't just say it to his face -- today. At -- -- Mike to recruit -- civil court he's great. Yeah I think I think he's I think he's terrific now he just put me in -- and and a you know move ago when he said. You remind us that -- book is going to be doing -- what did you wanna take me there Joseph block on the super ball. He says the bomber and the experience -- doing it for bummer that Joe Buck isn't the cubs are they. You want about Joe Buck and there's many negative things you can say about my -- But it does sound like a big game and Joe Buck is doing the game. Say what you want you may not love him you may not like his style -- may be annoyed by the Randy Moss stuff as was I. You may not like there's. Everybody's got the wiping his barn -- you may not like the the moralists nation of Randy Moss you may not care for his purple lips that look like Iran's. You may still associate his voice of that of Tim McCarver that might drive you crazy critics say what you -- about Joe -- but he makes it sound like a big game. Disgusting. News finally. We have got on our airline. What's unfortunate that he had that on your -- lives. Although no one's watching you know who else is on your airline now -- any thoughts. He got what you're aware what of those guys say to each other when they want to help the other in the hall hi Randy big fan glad to have you on board ready. Moon.

Golden Dawn pushes Greek-only blood bank
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
Given that far-right parties tend to somewhat moderate their positions when they're actually in government, the degree to which Greece's Golden Dawn party has thoroughly lived up to its reputation for buffoonish, neo-Nazi thuggery since its electoral success has been a bit suprising. Their latest provocation is a Greek-only blood donation drive:
Golden Dawn, which enjoyed unprecedented success in last month's election after promising to rid Greece of all immigrants, put up posters in Athens calling for volunteers to donate blood "only for Greeks who need our help."
"All the bottles of blood we collect will be handed over to patients we choose and to no one else," the party said in a statement. "This right to choose belongs not just to Golden Dawn members, but to all volunteer blood donors."
The party, which denies it is neo-Nazi, said it had managed to get such a blood bank up and running at a state hospital in Athens.
Right… nothing Nazi about policing racial purity in blood donations. A Greek doctor's union called the plan an "insane, unscientific, illegal and racist action"
The Times reported on Tuesday that Golden Dawn members have also been threatening immigrant shopkeepers in Athens.

Cornell researchers have identified regions of a fish brain that reveal the basic circuitry for how humans and other vertebrates generate sound used for social communication.
In a study of midshipman fish, published online on June 14 in Nature Communications, the researchers identified two distinct groups of neurons that independently control the duration and the frequency of sounds used for calling.
While human speech and bird songs are far more complex than the grunts and hoots produced by some fish, the study provides a very basic wiring diagram of how the brain allows vertebrates to vocalize.
"If you can understand the simplest system, it provides a road map for understanding the fundamental working units in the central nervous system for how you build a vocal system," said Andrew Bass, Cornell professor of neurobiology and behavior and senior author of the paper.
In a 2008 Science paper, Bass and colleagues identified this same region of the brain in larval midshipman fish, showing how it is present in the brains of other animals, including primates. This suggests that the vocal networks in all vertebrates evolved from an ancestrally shared brain area that originated in fishes.
"Studies like these allow us to trace the evolutionary history of the brain," Bass said. "All animals, including humans, share many brain circuits for complex behaviors, including the use of sounds for social communication."
Co-authors include lead author Boris Chagnaud, postdoctoral researcher in the Bass lab, and Robert Baker, a researcher at New York University's Langone Medical Center; the authors collaborated at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass. The study was funded by the Grass Foundation and National Institutes of Health.

How did GM pay off its bailout loans?

The backers of the bailouts to General Motors cried with triumph this week when the automaker announced that they had repaid their bailout loans ahead of schedule. That amounted to proof of the wisdom of government intervention, the argument went, and wondered aloud why bailout critics didn't acknowledge their errors. Perhaps it's because the government essentially got paid off with even more government money:
During an April 20 hearing on Capital Hill, Sen. Tom Carper, (D-Del.) asked some pointed questions of Neil Barofsky, the "special watch dog" on the Wall Street Bailout, aka, TARP.
"It's good news in that they're reducing their debt," Barofsky said of the accelerated GM payments, "but they're doing it by taking other available TARP money."…
"It sounds like it's kind of like taking money out of one pocket and putting in the other," said Carper, who got a nod of agreement from Barofsky.
"The way that payment is going to be made is by drawing down on an equity facility of other TARP money."
This prompted a stern letter from Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), who backed the bailouts, to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner about the shell game being played by the Obama administration and GM (via Yid with Lid, emphases mine):
General Motors (GM) yesterday announced that it repaid its TARP loans. I am concerned, however, that this announcement is not what it seems. In fact, it appears to be nothing more than an elaborate TARP money shuffle.
On Tuesday of this week, Mr. Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General for TARP, testified before the Senate Finance Committee. During his testimony Mr. Barofsky addressed GM's recent debt repayment activity, and stated that the funds GM is using to repay its TARP debt are not coming from GM earnings.
Instead, GM seems to be using TARP funds from an escrow account at Treasury to make the debt repayments. The most recent quarterly report from the Office of the Special Inspector General for TARP says "The source of funds for these quarterly [debt] payments will be other TARP funds currently held in an escrow account." See, Office of the Special Inspector General for TARP, Quarterly Report to Congress dated April 20, 2010, page 115.
Furthermore, Exhibit 99.1 of the Form 8K filed by GM with the SEC on November 16, 2009, seems to confirm that the source of funds for GM's debt repayments was a multi-billion dollar escrow account at Treasury—not from earnings. In the 8K filing GM acknowledged:
- Of the $42.6 billion in cash and marketable securities available to GM as of September, 30, 2009, $17.4 billion came from an escrow account with Treasury,
- $6.7 billion of the escrow account available to GM was allocable to the repayment of loans to Treasury,
- $5.6 billion in cash would remain in the Treasury escrow account following the repayment by GM of their loans, and
- Upon repaying Treasury, any balance of escrow funds would be released to GM.
Therefore, it is unclear how GM and the Administration could have accurately announced yesterday that GM repaid its TARP loans in any meaningful way. In reality, it looks like GM merely used one source of TARP funds to repay another. The taxpayers are still on the hook, and whether TARP funds are ultimately recovered depends entirely on the government's ability to sell GM stock in the future. Treasury has merely exchanged a legal right to repayment for an uncertain hope of sharing in the future growth of GM. A debt-for-equity swap is not a repayment.
I am also troubled by the timing of this latest maneuver. According to Mr. Barofsky, Treasury had supervisory authority over GM's use of these TARP escrow funds. Since GM's exit from bankruptcy court, Treasury had approved the use of the escrow funds for costs such as GM's obligations to its parts supplier Delphi. See, Office of the Special Inspector General for TARP, Additional Insight on Use of Troubled Asset Relief Program Fund (SIGTARP-10-004), dated December 10, 2009, at page 6. According to the GM 8K, GM had planned to use the TARP funds in escrow to pay back the TARP loans on a quarterly basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009. But following the April 20, 2010, hearing of the Senate Finance Committee, where Treasury's decision to exempt GM from the bank TARP excise tax was questioned and GM's refusal to testify was noted, it is odd that GM suddenly drew down on the TARP escrow and accelerated the repayment of the remaining balance of GM's outstanding TARP loans.
The bottom line seems to be that the TARP loans were "repaid" with other TARP funds in a Treasury escrow account. The TARP loans were not repaid from money GM is earning selling cars, as GM and the Administration have claimed in their speeches, press releases and television commercials. When these criticisms were put to GM's Vice Chairman Stephen Girsky in a television interview yesterday, he admitted that the criticisms were valid:
Question: Are you just paying the government back with government money?
Mr. Girsky: Well listen, that is in effect true, but a year ago nobody thought we'd be able to pay this back.
Mr. Girsky then said that GM originally planned to pay the loan over the next five years. So the question is why—other than a desire to justify excluding GM from the administration's TARP tax proposal—would Treasury and GM reduce GM's TARP debt with TARP equity and then mischaracterize it as a repayment from earnings? Accordingly, please explain:
1) Your department's justification for allowing GM to use funds from the TARP escrow account to repay TARP loans,
2) The amount of funds remaining in the TARP escrow account at Treasury that may be released to GM, and
3) The date that you anticipate that the remaining funds in escrow will be released to GM.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Please provide the requested information by April 30, 2010. …

In other words, this is just a shell game. As Jim Vicevich points out, it's akin to paying off your Visa credit card with your Mastercard — and then bragging about your financial condition. Taxpayers are still on the hook for GM. Nothing at all has changed.
Instead, we have another good reason for government to refrain from bailing out private companies. It makes them act like government when it comes to transparency about their finances. This claim really does prove that GM now stands for Government Motors.

February 15th is the deadline to sign up or face a penalty. The initial roll out of Obamacare was marked by numerous problems. Computer glitches frustrated tens of thousands of Michiganders who tried to log on to the online marketplace. "If you want to make some kind of comparison, the glitches this year are almost non-existent," says Dizzy Warren, with Enroll Michigan. She says the second year of Obamacare has gone much smoother than the first. Affordable Care Act needs young, healthy people to enroll By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Feb 17, 2014 Andrian Clark / Flickr Listen Listening... / 11:44 The latest figures from the government tell us that nearly 3.3 million Americans have signed up so far for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act exchanges. Officials are pointing to a surge in young people who are enrolling: The percentage of people age 18-34 who enrolled grew by three percentage points last month over the previous three months. Attracting these healthy young people to sign up is critical to the success of the Affordable Care Act, because they offset the costs of covering the older folks who are likely less healthy. So just what is the key to getting young Americans under the Obamacare tent?


text: I was up late watching ESPN and caught the end of some movie...I think it had to do with figure skating because there was this girl who wanted to compete at the nationals but something happened (didn't watch much of it so I don't know the details). In the end she won like four times or something. It looked like one of those corny Disney movies. And corny is an understatement...I don't even know why I was watching this thing. At the end it said something like "Arliss" or something. Can anyone shed some light on this?

The fourth and final day of the eleventh incarnation of Deathfest hit a bit of snag logistically, with a massive line snaking outside and wrist-banned festival goers forced to miss Speedwolf's opening set as security did their thing. The combination of a half mile walk and fear of getting snared in the re-entry line meant that the Soundstage was usually pretty empty, until the end of the night when no more bands were playing at Sonar. That said, this was the first edition of the expanded festival, and the organizers hit most of the right notes. However, there was a pretty significant snag towards the end, as both Pentagram and Venom had the stage power cut and their sets abruptly truncated, with a communication misunderstanding about curfew and a subsequent hefty fine for every minute of violating the noise ordinance being the reason.
All in all, attempting to recap seventy bands (unfortunately black metal band Carpathian Forest had to cancel with their singer stuck in Norway, being refused a visa to enter the country, so Speedwolf played twice) is pretty futile, so here's a quick recap of some of the highlights (day 1 review and photos here, day 2 photos here and day 3 here).
Pagan Altar: UK-based doom band that evoked the classic early Sabbath sound (if you couldn't figure out, their debut LP was called Volume 1 and had a self-referentially titled song on it) with a rare US appearance. Singer Terry Jones was the only one to put any sort of sartorial effort into it, but the band sounded good across the board.
Integrity: Thrash legends Integrity, led by the sole constant member Dwid on vocals, ripped a virtual hole in the tented third stage with some amazingly powerful riffs and distilled hatred.
Pentagram: Anyone who's viewed Last Days Here, the frankly astonishing documentary about leader Bobby Liebling, knows that it's a sheer miracle that the guy is still drawing breath. Vintage doom never sounded so good.
Melvins: Back in the non-Lite version with Jared Warren and Coady Willis of Big Business, it was clear that the road-weathered band had sharpened their material to a fine point following the residency shows in Europe, featuring material from Houdini, Bullhead, Eggnog and Stoner Witch. This was a razor-sharp set list, delivered with punishing force.
Antaeus: I knew little of this French black metal going in, and they seem to keep a low profile in the States, as compared to 1349 or Watain. With a record called Cut Your Flesh And Worship Satan, it's not too hard to figure out where they are coming from, and it's some of the rawest, most powerful black metal I've heard. I made the unfortunate mistake to leave their set and catch some of Finnish hardcore legends Terveet Kädet, who had but a smidgen of the same energy.
Contrastic: Little was known of this self-proclaimed 'disco/metal' outfit from the Czech Republic, and their mix of sampled beats and frenetic hardcore had a massive exclamation point via the on-stage and in-air antics of singer Putti put them over the top in a big way. Hugely entertaining.
Down: Filling the void that Pantera couldn't, Phil Anselmo recruited a bunch of his southern metal friends for and on-again/off-again project that is back on, at least for the time being. They were the only band at the main stage to clear the front of stage monitors, and spent most of their time at the very edge of it, connecting to the fans directly. Anselmo was clearly studied in the manner of Rollins, and was a writing, heaving presence.
Sleep: Now in their third year of reactivation, albeit with Neurosis' Jason Roeder on drums, as Chris Hakius has dropped out of music entirely after the initial reunion gig in the UK a few years ago, the trio sets down a few bales of high grade Humboldt and sets a fire that finds its way to the outer reaches of the Milky Way, passing the ghost of Carl Sagan along the journey.

It's just not fare
Kicking in the front seat, sitting in the back seat, it doesn't matter, because they're all out to get us:
Here's a facepalm-inducing story about a racist dimbulb idiot living in the next town over from me: a presumably drunk woman named Jennifer Crabbe [resist the temptation to make the obvious puns about crabby people, here] called 911 to report that her cabdriver was "very Muslim." I don't agree she should be charged with a hate crime, as the article mentions being rude and obnoxious shouldn't be illegal but charging her at least with misuse of 911 certainly sounds reasonable to me.
But here's what really depresses me about the story: subtract the woman's batpoop-insane racism and what's left is an attitude growing all-too-common in the modern American security-paranoia state: the idea "If I feel frightened or uncomfortable, this alone proves either that my rights are being infringed, or someone else's ought to be." After all: this woman didn't make the papers merely for fearing Muslims, but for being arrogant enough to believe "My fear of Muslims naturally means this Muslim guy should suffer as a result!"
CAIR, of course, jumped in on behalf of the poor cabbie. Maybe that's part of the issue: nobody's out there to represent paranoid drunks.
Meanwhile, from the news story, this seems to be Crabbe's hypothesis:
During the ride, [the driver] said, the woman assumed that he was a Muslim and said that all Muslims come to the U.S. and serve as taxi drivers for a year to save money so they can blow themselves up.
You'd think she'd have found that reassuring: after all, if he's driving her to wherever, he must not have maxed out his Explosives Fund just yet.

- 7200 RPM 32MB Cache
- SATA 3.0Gb/s
- Ideal for Servers
- 3 years limited
Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
This review is from: Seagate BarraCuda 7200.11 ST3750330AS 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Good price, is fast, quiet, and it doesn't run to hot (40C most of the time)
Had to contact Seagate for a firmware update, I personally don't have a problem with that because of the price. Cache size was wrong on factory firmware.
Other Thoughts:
Is really a good drive, I always buy Seagate drives and never had any problems with them their tech support is great, I got the link for the firmware update in less than 5 min after I had finish speaking to them

A team of scientists from Washington State University has discovered how one of the planet's most deadly known viruses employs burglary-ring-like teamwork to infiltrate the human cell.
Nipah virus is so menacing that the nation's top infectious disease experts served as consultants in the filmmaking of the 2011 medical thriller, "Contagion," which is based on a global Nipah outbreak.
The WSU researchers, led by virologist Hector Aguilar-Carreno, have found that two proteins on the surface of the virus communicate in a way similar to two skilled burglars – with one casing the human cell while the other waits for a signal to launch the break-in. Their findings were recently published in the medical journal PLOS Pathogens.
