text: NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Small Animal Imaging (In Vivo) Market - By systems and reagents [Micro-PET, Optical Imaging, Micro-MRI, Micro-SPECT, Micro-Ultrasound, Micro-CT & Multimodality/Hybrid Imaging Modalities] - Competitive Analysis & Global Forecasts to 2017 http://www.reportlinker.com/p01089173/Small-Animal-Imaging-In-Vivo-Market---By-systems-and-reagents-[Micro-PET-Optical-Imaging-Micro-MRI-Micro-SPECT-Micro-Ultrasound-Micro-CT--Multimodality/Hybrid-Imaging-Modalities]---Competitive-Analysis--Global-Forecasts-to-2017.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Medical_Imaging Small animal imaging is increasingly being implemented in the research studies from the late stage studies to the clinical phases. Imaging plays a significant role in the assessment of specific drug candidate or treatment regime, in phenotyping and understanding the pathophysiology of various diseases. Technologies used for in vivo small animal imaging allow longitudinal evaluation of disease as well as of drug therapy within the same animal, thus increasing efficacy and decreasing animal numbers used in research studies. The overall small animal imaging (in vivo) market is valued at $790 million in 2012, and is estimated to grow at an annual growth rate of 14.5% over the next five years. The growing market shows preference towards new technologies such as hybrid systems – PET + SPECT + CT, SPECT + MRI and PET + MRI for the range of advantages offered by them over traditional standalone techniques. The global small animal imaging (in vivo) market has witnessed challenging and dynamic market conditions in terms of government funding/grants and technological advancements in the last five years. Small animal imaging (in vivo) industry has witnessed numerous technological advancements over the last two decades and it is expected to continue with the same trend in future to solve the present challenges and meet the demanding needs of the market. The market growth is driven by factors such as increasing number of pharma companies and research institutions, rising application of functional imaging, growing adoption rate for small animal imaging and technological advancements. However, high device cost and technological limitations are the factors hindering the market growth. Sustainability of players in highly competitive environment, industry consolidation and availability of radiopharmaceuticals are the major challenges, while unique combinations in MRI high resolution and sensitivity of imaging devices with usage in multiple applications and emerging markets are the factors that seem to be favorable opportunities to the market.

pro comp stage 2 lift
I was wondering if any one out here has a pro comp stage 2 4 inch lift. I was thinking of getting one and wondering how they perform. I noticed they have them at the jc whitney site for 319 + shipping. only thing they don't give you a good description of what the kit includes. I would appreciate any advice on this
Procomp as decent springs, and up to a few years ago currie used them in their 4" kits. The biggest issue I hear about their kits is the shocks don't have enough travel/ride ruff. I would think for the price it would be a bare bones kits, springs and some brackets, maybe shocks, but who knows.
Ok. I Called Jc Whitney And They Said Explorer Stage 2 Kit Contians Everything In The Picture Shown Which Is Springs, Shocks, Track Bar Relocater, Something To Help With Bump Bar (looks Like A Sway Bar), Conrol Arm, Transmission Case Lowering Spacers And The Rest Of Your Basic Lift Stuff. The Only Thing They Said Wasn't Included Was The Shock Boot Covers. Said You Can Order Your Choice Of Colors But Would Be Extra. So My Next Question Is Do You Need To Have A Slip Yoke Eliminator Shaft For A 4 Inch Lift Or Do You Generally Only Need These For 6 And Above?
Thanks Mud707
For most TJ"S.. lifts at or over 4" usually end up needing an SYE. You could install it see how it is an go from there.. for the price it sounds like a great deal.
Yeah, like Jeepn said you would be real close on having vibes. If you are sure that's what you want to get then you could always drop the TCase a little bit lower with some washers to get rid of the vibes until you can afford the SYE and new shaft.
And what they were talking about with the sway bar will be extended sway bar links. I have never personally seen this kit, but I am assuming from your description that it doesn't come with adjustable trac bars?
Ok. I Went To Order The Procomp Explorer Stage 2 4 In. Lift Kit Today For 319.99, But When I Clicked On The Info/buy Button On The Website It Took Me To A Different Page. It Now Shows A Picture Of The Stage 2 4in Lift And A List Brief Description. Except At The Bottom Where The Add To Cart Button Is The Item List As A Stage 1, 2 In. Lift. I Called And Tried To Get Them To Honor The Price Listed On The Page Before, But They Say They're Not Responsible For Any Mistypes Or Anything. So I Guess I'll Have 2 Save Up Some More.
I'm very (!) familiar with all of ProComp's lifts and for a Jeep, I cannot recommend any of their Stage 2 lifts. There are two problems with them... 1) The control arms are a poor design and don't flex in the directions needed to avoid control arm bracket failure. TeraFlex has the exact same problem. It's not like you can expect control arm bracket failures on easy to moderate trails but you can when the suspension has to really be able to flex well on more difficult trails. 2) The ES-3000 shocks that come in all of their kits are EXTREMELY (!!!!!) stiff riding and I doubt you'd enjoy the ride at all.
I will say that ProComp's springs are otherwise outstanding quality and can be the core of an otherwise excellent suspension... just avoid ProComp's control arms and ES-3000 shocks.
My first post here guys, sorry to have to start off with a negative hit on ProComp but I know more about that product than I can admit to here and can only say I wouldn't recommend it to a friend. :)
Thanks, Jerry. We're glad to have your experience!
You mentioned "Transmission Case lowering spacers"... I am guessing you meant Transfer Case. Those spacers eliminate the need for a SYE. By lowering the TC you keep the rear driveshaft from having the steep angle that causes all the vibration. The downside is you put something under your Jeep closer to the ground, minimizing the ground clearance you gain by fitting a lift that will allow bigger tires. (The good news is you already have a big skid plate right there.) If you are trying to lift on the cheap, you'll have to use the Transfer Case drop, b/c a SYE will also require a new rear shaft... together a $500-$700 investment. As funds allow, you can always upgrade to this later.
I only have personall experience with the YJ Pro Comp lift, and can say to RUN, don't walk away from that one...
That being said, I have a buddy in the Jeep club that bought a Pro Comp 4" stage 2 lift kit one year and was running the RE 4"kit the next because of the poor ride and dissappointing handling. Like with most things, you usually get what you pay for.
the driveshaft gets so short at 4 inches that it can slip out of the tcase or jam in it and bend or crack it... 3" suspension and 1" isn't a bad idea. i've heard that the RE 3.5" lifts are very good and you can clear 33's. rough country is a very good 4" kit too as it is very cheap yet complete and has pleased many people
As for the SYE, I just put on a 4" with TC spacers. I do feel a definate vibe through the shifter (I have a manual) in 1 and 3. And it is a little harder to get into 2 and 4. If you have a auto I don't think you have to worry about it too much, but if you have a manual, I would definately suggest you consider that as your next upgrade.
autos are more prone to vibes than manuals!
I have a 4inch superlift that only runs around $670 +shipping from quadratec. After riding (on the road) in my friends jeep with a 4.5 inch rubicon express superflex kit i can say that the quality of my lift almost parallels his. My kit came with front lower control arms as well as the other minimum stuff like the pro comp lift they were talking about. I do reccomend that you spend the extra money and finish off your lift with an SYE and driveshaft tho! I do not think paying for 4 inches more clearance under the belly and only getting 3 is cool, plus its a much cleaner look with the belly tucked and not hanging in my opinion. O yea off road the superlift handles great, but i have never driven with another lift so i cant say much to compare on that part. Just something to look into and ask others about.
Since you mention ride quality is important to you, and it is to me too for my daily driver TJ, I'd say to be real careful with your shock selection. Shocks to avoid are quite a few... ProComp ES-3000, Rancho R5000, Skyjacker Nitrocharged, and actually most other nitro (gas) charged shocks as all of them ride stiffly.
The two gas-charged shocks I'm aware of that DO have a good ride is the OME (Old Man Emu) and the SPECIAL Bilstein 5100 made specifically for the Wrangler... which not all Bilstein dealers even know about so be careful there.
Other good riding shocks include the Doestch Tech DT-3000, Rubicon Express's monotube Extreme", and hydraulic shocks like from Skyjacker, etc.. Both the Rancho R9000 and ProComp MX-6 are adjustable so you can dial in the ride you like but both must be adjusted all the way down to their first or second settings for a good ride as they are not specifically valved for the Wrangler's weight.
Do get some good control arms. I'd class both ProComp's and Tera's on the same crappy unacceptable level. Rubicon Express, Currie, Full Traction, JKS, etc. make good control arms. :)
i've heard soooo many good things about the bilstein and OME shocks...i've always known of bilstein as an upper expensive brand that was very good quality and i've heard that OME's shocks are uncomparable giving a ride that is as good as stock if not even a bit better than stock!
I forgot to mention, i have OME shocks with my lift. They are wonderful, but expensive. Im not to crazy about is the color, but now they make black ones i believe (saw em on OK4WD.com) I got the softer ride and its very nice, im happy i chose it over the more stiff option. Another thing if you do decide to get OME, the bushing is kinda tough to get into the eye (top part of the shock) in the rear. Mine have since slid out and rattle around in the back a bit (bar pin eliminator may fix this.) Last thing i noticed, maybe its just with my jeep, but with my lift the shocks make contact with the lower spring perch and have dented the shocks a little, with no ill effects... i just wanted to let anyone know in case they didnt want two dented $80 shocks;)
haha i can agree wit that in some cases, but yellow and chilli peper red dont go together as well as i would like IMO now the gray from an Nth TT would be a completely different story:)
rattle can
one more question. if i go with the rough country 4" should i get the 4" stage 2 ($529) or the 4" x-series ($899) is there a big difference?
x series gives you all new control arms...i think some are adjustable...i read a review about the x series and it is very good but you don't have to go with it. the stage two is fine. i believe the main difference is that the x series comes with the control arms
Both the stage 2 and the x-series comes with control arms. I have the stage 2, and I have been very happy with it except for the shocks. The X-series comes with adjustable control arms. Quite a bargain for the price. Good luck.

They say you'll never find friends like the ones who knew you when you were young and for the women in Sarah Addison Allen's The Peach Keeper, that wisdom is half right. The story traces the relationships between two sets of women Agatha and Georgie and their granddaughters, Paxton and Willa who travel the winding path of lifelong friendship and the detours along the way.
Narrator Karen White lends her gentle tone to three generations of families in the town of Walls of Water, North Carolina, a southern escape that's become more of a trap for Paxton and Willa. As part of a celebration of the town's Women's Society Club, started by Agatha and Georgie when they were teenagers, Paxton takes on the overhaul of the town's most acclaimed property: A breathtaking mansion that Willa's relatives were forced to sell when they lost their fortune. But when landscapers discover a dead body buried on the property, the town starts looking at the Club, the property, and its history in a whole new way.
Paxton and Willa didn't grow up as friends, but as adults they're forced to work together to solve the mysteries their grandmothers left behind. White balances the complicated relationship of Paxton and Willa's youth where they weren't exactly enemies but definitely weren't friends with their grown-up emotions, their love for their grandmothers, and their burgeoning friendship. Her grounded narration keeps listeners hooked while Paxton and Willa deal with questions of trust, surprising confidences, and unexpected similarities (along with one's romantic entanglement with the other's brother). In the end, The Peach Keeper is a story about the friends you make, the friends you keep, and the friends you never forget. Blythe Copeland
The New York Times best-selling author of The Girl Who Chased the Moon welcomes you to her newest locale: Walls of Water, North Carolina, where the secrets are thicker than the fog from the town's famous waterfalls, and the stuff of superstition is just as real as you want it to be.
It's the dubious distinction of 30-year-old Willa Jackson to hail from a fine old Southern family of means that met with financial ruin generations ago. The Blue Ridge Madam—built by Willa's great-great-grandfather during Walls of Water's heyday, and once the town's grandest home—has stood for years as a lonely monument to misfortune and scandal. And Willa herself has long strived to build a life beyond the brooding Jackson family shadow—no easy task in a town shaped by years of tradition and the well-marked boundaries of the haves and have-nots.
But Willa has lately learned that an old classmate—socialite do-gooder Paxton Osgood—of the very prominent Osgood family has restored the Blue Ridge Madam to her former glory, with plans to open a top-flight inn. Maybe, at last, the troubled past can be laid to rest while something new and wonderful rises from its ashes.
But what rises instead is a skeleton, found buried beneath the property's lone peach tree, and certain to drag up dire consequences along with it. For the bones—those of charismatic traveling salesman Tucker Devlin, who worked his dark charms on Walls of Water 75 years ago—are not all that lay hidden out of sight and mind. Long-kept secrets surrounding the troubling remains have also come to light, seemingly heralded by a spate of sudden strange occurrences throughout the town.
Now, thrust together in an unlikely friendship, united by a full-blooded mystery, Willa and Paxton must confront the dangerous passions and tragic betrayals that once bound their families—and uncover truths of the long-dead that have transcended time and defied the grave to touch the hearts and souls of the living.
Resonant with insight into the deep and lasting power of friendship, love, and tradition, The Peach Keeper is a portrait of the unshakable bonds that—in good times and bad, from one generation to the next—endure forever.

"Another Allen hit!"
In my "really like it" list.
All of them. Each had a valuable place in the overall story.
She did well with all of them. Good narrator.
No, just couldnt stop listening!
Sarah Addison Allen does it again, produces a "can't put it down" book.
"Pretty Good Listen"
Interesting story, some what predictible
I did not have a favorite character.
I loved her voicing of the characters
Paxton's gramdmother. A true southern lady from a time gone by.
Sweet story.
To read, to dream, to love, to experience, to aspire...
"Magical ways"
Different pleasures.
I look forward each of her books, each has the right mix of magic, love, south, friendship, families, and a wide range of human emotions, and delicious as the juice of a yummy peach.
"Loved this one!"
I have read several of Allen's books, and have loved every one of them! I love how she brings magic into her stories and it is so believable! Don't miss any of Sarah's books--I can't wait to read/listen to more!
" One of my favorites"
I love Sarah Addison Allen's books. They're like comfort food for my soul. A few people have complained about the narrator, but I love her voice and I found it perfect for this book.
"Couldn't stand the reader!"
I like the author; however, the story was ruined by the narrator. I will be buying the paperback version instead because the narrator's voice is so whiny and annoying that I couldn't tolerate listening to it.
Yes, I like the author. I also read Garden Spells which was great
Voice reminded me of my children whining and begging.
"Narrator ruined the story - it's true."
Sarah Addison Allen's stories are TOTALLY MAGICAL. I want to be sure that is understood.
The reader made the story go flat - I struggled with this one :(
my favorite is Kate Reading ,, BUT Sarah A. A. has had other gr8 readers too.
Audible + Sarah A. A. = a win !
"Lovely read."
Yes, absolutely.
Possibly. I love Sarah Addison Allen--that's why I selected this book.
It was lovely.
I have enjoyed Sarah Addison Allen since I discovered her first book. Karen White is a perfect match.
"Allen ruined by White"
I love Sarah Addison Allen as an author. I have read several of her books and find her language and character development to be a true joy. She is whimsical, funny and has an ability to make magic happen on the page. Often it is like catching a glimpse of a fairy in the woods. Karen White tore the wings off the fairy and stomped on them. She was too breathy and her inflections and cadence were completely off. It was so distracting. Not to mention that the differences between female and male voices were so unnoticeable that I had a hard time figuring out who was supposed to be flirting with whom. The only characters that she seemed to pull off half successfully were the old women/grandmother's voices and even those were weak. It was genuine disappointment and a disservice to Sarah Addison Allen as a writer.
"I love this Author!"
Great Story
I like the characters and how you aren't hearing from only one character but from all
Yes, Great
All 4 books I have listened to have been great, they keep you wanting more. Which usually means I am in my garage for another hour trying to hear more of the story :) Great books, not mushy :)

Close Encounter of the God Kind (2 of 5) by Keith Krell

Sermon Series: Easter
Keith Krell
Luke 24:13-35
Good morning, brothers and sisters. My name is Cleopas. I am a Jewish man who lived during the time of Jesus of Nazareth. The Bible doesn't share anything about me, but that's okay with me. My personal background is not important; what is important is my personal experience. I want to share with you an experience I had that has affected my entire perspective in this life and the life to come.
Scene 1: The Meeting (24:13-16). One day, my neighbor and I traveled to Jerusalem for Passover. Passover is a week long religious festival that celebrates the deliverance of Israel from the bondage of the Egyptians. While we were there, remembering God's goodness to our people, we learned that Jesus of Nazareth had been crucified. After the death and burial of Jesus, I was traveling home with my neighbor to my hometown of Emmaus. Over the course of the seven mile walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus, we were sadly rehearsing the death and burial of Jesus. At points the conversation actually became rather heated. I was tired, frustrated, and emotionally spent. This was one of the most discouraging conversations of my life. I was incredibly disappointed with the events that had transpired. I had so much confidence in Jesus of Nazareth. I genuinely believed that He was God's Messiah who would bring peace to the world. I was confident that He would set the Jewish people free from Roman oppression. I assumed I was living in the age in which God breaks into history. Needless to say, when I learned about Jesus' death and burial, my hopes were dashed!
As my neighbor and I continued to debate and commiserate, a man appeared and began walking with us. The man seemed to appear out of nowhere, but we didn't think much of it. We were caught up in our own discussion. We assumed that he caught up with us as he too traveled back from Jerusalem. What was a bit odd was the stranger never i ...

Chapter 2.
Our house was in the middle of the line of identical houses. It reminded me of a cottage. Yes, a cottage, which meant my room was the size of the closet at my old house. The kitchen was probably the largest room in the place. Plus, it was right across the hall from my brother's room, which he had already decorated with posters of professional wrestlers and baseball players. I kept everything packed up. I was trying to make a point to my parents, hoping they would soon realize that I was not pleased with this arrangement. The only things I had unpacked were my sweatshirt, iPod, and cell phone.
It was ringing.
"Hello?" a monotone voice answered from the other end of the live.
"Thank gosh you're answering," I replied, falling down on my sheetless matress. It was so good to hear Daisy's voice, dead as it might sound. It reminded me of California.
"Hey James, how Penn?"
"Horrible," I cried, rolling onto my side. "1. It's raining. 2. My room is the size of a broom closet. 3. I'm so close to the neighbor's house if I opened my window I could jump into theirs. This is torture!"
"Wow, your life is sounding worse than mine already. That's pretty hard to do." I stopped, a pang of guilt stabbing me in my stomach.
"Thinking about your Dad again?" I asked cautiously. She didn't reply for a few seconds, and I was wondering if she had hung up. Sometimes she had mood swings like this, and I had to be really careful not to get her mad at me.
"Yeah, mom is getting ready for a date." Lisa, Daisy's mom, had been getting back in the game. It's not that I didn't want her to be happy, since she was basically a second mother to me, it was just that I couldn't picture her being withh anyone else except for Mr. Garcia. They were perfect for each other. Let's just say a lot had been happening in Daisy's life lately, and I felt terrible for leaving her at a time like this.
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright...listen, I have to go. Mom needs help with her zipper, so..."
"Yeah," I caught on. Daisy would never, ever help her mother get ready for a date. She was just about to have a breakdown.
"No problem. I'll talk to you later, okay?"
"Yeah. Bye," and I got the dial tone.
At that moment my mom waltzed into my room, carrying a brown box.
"Is that Daisy?" She asked, and I realized I still had my cell up to my ear.
"Um, yeah, Mom. Bye Dais! Okay, I'll talk to you tonight!" I talked over the dial tone. "sorry mom, she had to go." If she knew I was talking to her, she would want to talk to her and Lisa. My mom was weird like that. And she refused to get her own cell phone, so I was stuck with sharing mine with her. Yeah, it was pathetic.
"Oh, well that's fine! Just let me talk to her tonight, okay?"
"Sounds good mom," I said, rolling my eyes, but she didn't see since she had already dropped the box and left the room.

Practices and organisations are being urged to participate in an apprenticeship scheme for veterinary nurses.
Julie Dugmore, head of veterinary nursing at the RCVS, said: "As the regulator of veterinary nurses we need to make sure those student veterinary nurses who go through the apprenticeship training scheme are being given training that meets our educational standards and that, on finishing the training, they are able to meet the professional standards we expect all registered veterinary nurses to possess from the time they enter practice.
"Our involvement in this project will be to help develop the apprenticeship standard for student veterinary nurses, along with an assessment plan, and proactively monitor the apprenticeship scheme for quality assurance purposes."
Organisations collaborating with Medivet, City & Guilds and the RCVS on the initiative include:
- Mimram Veterinary Centre
- the Zoological Society of London
- VetCall
- Vale Vets and Vale Referrals
- Goddard Veterinary Group
- Highcroft Veterinary Group
- Camlas Pet Care Vets
- Pennard Vets
- Westway Veterinary Group
- Ark Veterinary Centre
- Newnham Court Veterinary Group.
The Trailblazer programme's aim is to put the development of apprenticeships in the hands of employers and improve training.
Skills minister Nick Boles said: "Businesses must have their say in training tomorrow's workforce.
"Giving employers the power to design apprenticeships means apprentices graduate with the skills they need for the job they want and businesses get the talent they need to grow.
"Young people on these programmes will have the opportunity to learn sought-after skills and enjoy a great start to a working life."
Organisations and practices that would look like to find out more about the programme should email firstname.lastname@example.com

No Iraqi Republican Guardsmen were given asylum. What they did was take off their uniforms and blend into the general population.
The ones we brought back were supposedly the ones that had opposed the government and were therefore on our side and likely to be harmed if left behind.
The problem was (as usual) we did a crappy job of vetting. Lot's of bad guys were brought over here thinking they were good guys, while lots of actual good guys were left over there.
And NO government agency did any kind of watching. There is some number (I believe it is about two and a half thousand) that remain unaccounted for today.

Would you rather have an ATS, BRZ, FRS, or a Focus ST? Why?
The Toyobaru, in general. Fun to drive, returns not-terrible fuel economy, cheapest over time, quality car (*coughcoughGM*), etc.The FR-S, specifically, because its handling is tail-happier, I don't care about the head unit, and I really don't like the BRZ's front clip.
"There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves -- death is something that happens to other people. That's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. But more powerful than even the fear of death itself is the will to win."
I'd rather have a BRZ because it's a poor man's Cayman and has a "more communicative helm" than the FRS.
BRZ. I don't like the Scion's front bumper. After those two, ATS, then ST.
ATS without a doubt.

Secret Agent
This is where a young girl has two secret agent parents, and decides that she wants to be a secret agent too, and then she is shot, but what happens after that?
Read to find out...
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Clementine Geldrop, and I am twelve years od old.
I am writing to you, as I have heard from few but enough sauces sources (my parents and agency magazines), that you are looking for a young boy or girl to go undercover for you, so you cn can gain information.
I would like to tell you that I am perfectly capable of the job, being the daughter of the two best secret agents in the country (Genevieve Geldrop and Lucifer Geldrop).
I am used to being exposed to danger, and to be quite honest, don't really mind it. I would do your bidding command.
Yours sincerely,
Clementine Geldrop
That's the letter that I sent to the government three years ago; I'm fifteen now, and the government's youngest, but best secret agent.
They accepted me into the agency, just two months after receiving my letter, and I was faced with the easiest job ever.
My parents home-schooled me so that I could carry my job out full-time; of course I was paid for it.
All year, all I had to do was report back to the government the number plate of drivers who, talked on their mobile while driving, were speeding… etc.
I got paid a good amount for it (£10 per hour), seeing as it wasn't very dangerous. The way the government paid her agents, was that the more danger you were in, the more you would get paid.
When I was twelve that was all I had to do, and got that good wage for it.
When I was thirteen, it was slightly more dangerous, so my wage went up to £15 per hour, and what I had to do was report thefts and things that security guards had missed. I came up against some dodgy characters, and had been threatened with knives but usually I'd just scream and they'd put the knife away. I was cute, so that helped a little bit.
When I was fourteen, I was up against drugs. I had to report drug-users, drug-dealers and general drug use in that area. My wage went up to £25 per hour.
Now though, I have the most dangerous job of all: reporting, and acting upon, weaponry offences. My wage is now up at £50 per hour. That's why I'm talking about this to you now: because something happened that had always been in my nightmares.
When I do manage to get some sleep (which isn't often, to be honest), they're always nightmares. Nightmares of what things have happened to me, and things that probably will crop up, but hopefully won't.
I just wake up knowing that I have a job to do, and I intend to do it to the best of my ability.
I don't look like a normal girl my age with the high heels and the handbag, and mini-skirts and all that rubbish. I dress according to my job. I dress in a black T-shirt, if it is cold, a black jacket, underwear obviously, shorts, but if it is really cold, trousers, but I try not to wear trousers because they slow you down when you're running, and the same goes with the jacket. I also wear springy trainers, that help you to run really fast, and then just a small back-pack on my back, complying of: pocket-knife, small pistol, first-aid kit, sanitary towels (I am fifteen), and a balaclava.
I don't get holidays off, because the offenders don't take holidays off, and the life of crime is never put on pause. There's always some action every day, so I am never bored, and always manage to keep fit.
When I went to school, I was the fastest person in my class, and now I'd bet all my possessions that I could even overtake an Olympic Marathoner if I wanted to.

Bloodied, Bruised and DoomedMature
Terror. Terror like nothing I have ever felt before. It seems to course through every fibre of my being like poison, a foul metallic taste clinging to the roof of my mouth and making it seem as if the world is moving faster than I could ever hope to keep up with. Melody and Lynette drop me before a pair of Light Reapers, both women. Their power is incredible, almost as tangible as that of the Triumvate. They look down on me with blind unseeing eyes, but I can feel them searching through me. One, white-haired and wrinkled with age, remains unmoved, while her steel-haired and much younger counterpart curls her lip in disgust.
"He is Capricorn's son, there is no doubt about that. And he has the blackest, dirties and most disgusting soul I have ever seen. You are right, he is indeed a beast."
I try to protest, but Melody clamps her hand over my mouth, hard. The woman tosses her head.
"She bears his mark you say? Then freeing her will be easy, any bond can be broken by the death of one party. We must kill him to free the girl."
No! I try to cry out, but Lynette twists my arm harder. Don't they see? If they kill me they'll kill Ellie too! Are they mad? Don't they see what they're doing? The lights flicker and the ground rumbles ominously in the strange pale room where I have found myself. The old woman sighs.
"We must act fast. His corruption is already spreading through her. Take him to the arena, the executioners will be waiting."
"Yes Elders." says Melody, bowing respectfully. Once again I am hauled to my feet and dragged out of the room. The girls drop me at the door, where a pair of enormous guards are waiting, enormous shackles in their hands. My eyes widen and I try to twist away from them, but they are far stronger than I am and next thing I know my wrists, ankles and throat are shackled and I'm being forcibly dragged - none too gently might I add - down a long corridoor. I try and fight for a while, but a couple of hard strikes from the guards silence me. My broken hand throbs terribly, my new injuries (I'm sure at least one of my ribs is broken and I'm bleeding from several deep cuts on my arms and forehead) are agony and the manacles dig into my skin like nothing I've ever felt.
"Why?" I whisper to myself. "Why is this happening?"
"Shut it." snaps one of the guards, clouting me around the head again. I whimper with pain, too weak and terrified to cry out any more.
Ellie's mark is blazing like hell, and I can feel her fury. But she's just as scared as I am, doubtless she knows the fate that awaits me. For the first time in my millenia of existence, I start to cry, silver tears streaming down my face, mingled with blood and sweat.
I am dragged into a large room and chained to the wall, hand wrenched painfully above my head and feet dangling a good half a foot off the floor. One of the guards gives me a final slap across the face, scoring three deep gouges in my already bruised skin. I can't even raise my head to respond, I'm too exhausted.
"An hour." one of the guards growls. "They're getting rid of this scum in an hour. Personally, I want to watch it. The draugs haven't been fed in a long while, I'm sure they'll make quick work of him. It's better than he deserves - I'd have tortured him to death myself. All those poor souls he's torn away from their lives ... death is too good for dirt like him."
The door slams shut behind them. An hour. I only have an hour left to live.
I'm going to die.

When Reading Drags
I may have caved to an Online Reading Syndrome. I'm finding it increasingly hard to read some books, while I have no trouble reading various articles, blagoposts, stories, and graphical matter on the internet.
Now, in my defense, I'm reading non-fiction, and that's never been my strong suit, no matter how much the concept of the subject matter appeals.
But still.
I find myself feeling the flaws of books more acutely than I would in an online piece. For instance, Amartya Sen's Identity and Violence. Excellent concept for a book:

Birds: The Daemon Gamete germinates a little
Originally posted by me, on February 23, 2009
Daemon floats into Terrut City... She looks around. A small child with his mother points at her, "Mommy, Mommy, why is that pretty woman floating?"
The Mom looks over and sees Daemon, "Don't make eye contact dear, its one of those crazy pokemon researchers."
The boy starts blubbering maddly with tears coming from her eyes, "but I don't want to be fused into a Clefairy!"
Daemon looks over, "No, actually you'd do better fused with a Bonsly with that crying... I could set up a lab here."
The small boy starts crying like mad now, barely audible what he is saying. The Mom picks him up, turns around and smacks Daemon saying, "I hope your happy, I just ordered a Bonsley from Sinnoh for as a surprise. Now I'll have to send it back."
Daemon holdering her hand to where she was slapped simply says, "but really, he could learn Mimic and evolve into a Sudowoodo. Those are fairly underutilised pokemon."
The mother stamps her foot, yells at Daemon, "The nerve of you! Teasing a small child! Have you no decency!"
Daemon looks confused, "who is teasing. Many pokemon trainers would give their right arm to be fused with a pokemon. Which reminds me... do you need a right arm? I've got several."
The Mom simply stomps away, ignoring Daemon trying to calm her child down who had been extremely traumatised by the whole incident.
Daemon looks at the pokeballs on her arm, and pulls off the one marked "Kane", and releases the Budew contained in it. Daemon looks at the Budew who knew all that was going on. Kane what not impressed. Daemon looks over at the Budew, "look Citizen, your out of your ball, while we are in the city, so you cn enjoy the sites."
Kane the Budew looks over at a hobo moving shopping carts wiith a Meowth walking next to him, and looks back Daemon with a disapproving stare. Daemon shrugs and does a sort of whatever pose, and turns her head, "okaaaaaayyyyy... enjoy the sites once we get to a less seedy part of the city."
Daemon looks back and forth, "Hey, maybe we can pay them to race their shopping carts. We can have a hobo derby."
Kane looks very angrily at Daemon, and curses a "Buuudeeeeewwww...." under her breathe.
Daemon rolls her eyes and head back, "okay, we won't profit off the downfallen."
Kane nods in approval. Daemon quickly adds, "hey, we could put the profits to charity."
Kane gets really ticked off and fires a Shadow Ball at Daemon. Daemon shakes the shadow ball off, "okay okay..."
Kane and Daemon then walk aimlessly down the city's streets.

The chemical peel is one of the oldest cosmetic procedures in the world and is used to help people achieve smoother, more beautiful skin.

The Vi Peel is a pharmaceutical-grade chemical peel, that is produced by Vitality Institute Medical Products, a manufacturer of medical-grade skin care treatments that are meant to address the signs of aging and common skin damage problems. The manufacturing company believes that the Vi Peel can help reduce the effects of sun damage and reduce signs of melasma. The main thrust of the Vi Peel is an attempt at reducing the pain and discomfort commonly associated with chemical peels, although results vary between patients.
The peel is designed to be used for treating teenage acne as well as acne on aging skin. Vi Peel can usually be used with any skin type, but people with a darker complexion do run a higher risk of hyperpigmentation.
As with any facial chemical peel, Vi Peel works when your cosmetic professional doctor spreads a chemical evenly across the skin. The chemical reacts with the skin and creates micro damage that causes the skin to blister and peels off, thus removing the top layers of skin to allow new tissue to grow more easily. The damage caused to the skin, on the one hand, removes older skin cells, and at the same time helps stimulate collagen production, in order to heal the skin faster.
Why are the Vi peels better than many other medical grade chemical peels?
One of the differences between a Vi Peel and other chemical peels is that Vi Peel contains an anesthetic. This was an attempt to lower patient discomfort during this professional skin care procedure. Patients using Vi Peel usually report feeling a stinging sensation at the beginning of peel, which tends to subside when the anesthetic sets in.
What Can Areas Be Treated by Vi Peel?
Chemical peels, in general, are designed to improve the overall condition of the skin, and can usually be used on many areas of the body. However, it's important to keep in mind that sensitive areas like the eyelids should be avoided because the skin is too thin, and incorrect application, especially if the peel is not performed by a medical skin care specialist, can lead to serious skin damage. Some areas that are commonly treated with Vi Peel include:
How Many Treatments Are Required?
As with most chemical peels, to maintain the effects of treatment, follow-up procedures are recommended every three to four months. In the initial treatment process, patients can undergo Vi Peel treatments every two weeks. However, rigorous use of the Vi Peel is not recommended as a long-term treatment option by cosmetic professional physicians at Malik Medical Aesthetics centers.
What shall I expect when the Vi peel is used on the skin?
It normally takes about four days for the skin to properly heal from a Vi Peel treatment. During the healing process, skin will slough off and may look flushed or red. You should not put any skin care product on your face besides moisturizer until your skin has completely healed.
What precautions do I need to make sure of a safe Vi Peel experience?
Anyone that has a history of skin rashes, allergies, or other reactions to skin care treatments should first consult cosmetic professional physicians or skin care specialist before attempting to use Vi Peel. As with all chemical peels, Vi Peel carries risks of skin damage and a prolonged recovery period, if not applied correctly. It is very important that you tell your doctor ahead of time if you suffer from frequent cold sores, as this could lead to complications. Your cosmetic professional physicians may prescribe medication to combat these eruptions before attempting the Vi Peel treatment.
What makes this Vi Peel so effective? And what all is this Vi Peel made up of?
Vi Peel consists of a blend of trichloroacetic acid, Retin-A, salicylic acid, phenol and vitamin C. Retin-A is a proven wrinkle fighter, TCA can relieve the skin of fine wrinkles and surface blemishes, salicylic acid is an exfoliant and an anti-inflammatory agent, vitamin C stimulates collagen and battles wrinkles and hyperpigmentation and phenol provides long lasting solutions to major issues such as deep set wrinkles. On their own, Retin-A and TCA are more moderate peels, while phenol is even harsher; improvements after a phenol peel can be dramatic and last many years. But side effects are more likely to occur and are more severe. These include permanent sun sensitivity and permanent depigmentation of the skin. The latter is the major reason that cosmetic professional physicians do not recommend phenol peels for dark-skinned individuals.

Microdermabrasion is a simple, straight forward, non-invasive procedure that revitalizes dull skin reduces large pores, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, reduces mild pigment irregularities (hyperpigmentation) and age spots and can be done in less than 30 minutes! There are two ways to perform microdermabrasion:
For both methods, the wand device we use is equipped with a vacuum that removes the dead skin that is exfoliated.
Afterward, your skin will feel very smooth and very clean. You may feel as though you have a mild windburn or sunburn. Our aestheticians will apply a hydrating, soothing mask followed by chemical free sunblock.
While microdermabrasion is not right for all skin problems, it's quickly becoming our most popular procedure.

Do you believe in transformation? You will when you use Obagi products. While skin functions slow as part of the natural aging process, daily environmental factors such as sun exposure, stress, trauma, and pollution contribute to this process and lead to premature aging. Obagi products correct this cycle and help to minimize future damage.
CRX System
The patented Obagi CRX system is a complete skincare program that proactively corrects early signs of damage to help restore and maintain your healthy, youthful skin. It's the first and only system offering the benefits of prescription strength hydroquinone and potent vitamin C in one comprehensive package. The CRX systems helps minimize hyperpigmentation, promotes skin cell turnover through gentle exfoliation to expose more glowing, healthy skin and it prevents future skin cell damage by neutralizing free radicals and protecting the skin from UVA (aging) rays and UVB (burning) rays.
Nu-Derm System
The Nu-Derm system penetrates below the surface of your skin to transform skin cell functions at the cellular level and correct the damage within. Using a specific dose and frequency that's recommended specifically by your skin care professional for your skin condition, the prescription-strength system exfoliates old skin leaving healthy, new skin that looks and acts younger and healthier.
Obagi Clenziderm MD systems are the only prescription-strength acne treatments that contain a patented, solubilized form of 5% benzoyl peroxide (BPO) to penetrate deep into the follicle and treat acne where it starts. Available in two distinct systems, for normal to oily skin and normal to dry skin, these simple 3 step physician dispensed acne therapies are clinically proven to better penetrate the follicles for effective P. acnes bacteria reduction and rapid lesion reduction.
Elastiderm Eye Cream - Does your skin have SNAP?
Take the Elastiderm SNAP test and find out. Whether you're looking to preserve, maintain or restore the elasticity in your skin, Elastiderm has been proven to help at any age. Give yourself a simple snap test under your eye. If your skin stays pinched at all after you let go, that means the elastin and collagen in your skin have been broken down by sun damage or the normal aging process. Don't worry, you CAN bring back the SNAP! Only Elastiderm can help restore that elasticity. If your skin quickly snaps back into place, you've still got SNAP, but you'll want to maintain the health and elasticity of your skin with Elastiderm before the sun and the aging process takes the SNAP away.
Latisse is the first and only prescription treatment approved by the FDA for inadequate or not having enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker.
Latisse makes lash growth possible because of its active ingredient, bimatoprost. Although the precise mechanism of action is not known, research suggests that the growth of eyelashes occurs by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of, the anagen (or growth) phase. Lashes can grow longer, thicker and darker because bimatoprost can also prolong this growth phase.
Latisse is easy to use, FDA approved and effective. It's a once-a-day treatment you apply topically to the base of your upper eyelashes. Patients in a clinical trial gradually saw results over time (starting at 4 weeks with full results after 16 weeks).

At Malik Medical Aesthetics and Dr. Malik's Cosmetic centers, we are proud to introduce the newest skin rejuvenating procedure, the Micro-Laser Peel™. This remarkable new peel offers our patients immediate, but lasting results with minimal discomfort, and minimal time off. The Microlaser Peel is very effective in eliminating age spots, acne scars, blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles. Laser energy intensely stimulates new collagen growth as well, leaving your skin tighter, healthier and looking younger. The MicroLaserPeel can literally take years off of your face!
The MicroLaserPeel is an intra-epidermal laser peel that precisely ablates the outermost layers of the skin. Laser peel precisely removes the very superficial layers of the skin and the treatment can individually customized to the nature of the problem being treated. The depth of the peel is regulated and can be as minimal as 10 microns or as deep as 50 microns. The precision in Sciton Joule technology allows for perfect coverage and uniform ablation with minimal discomfort that was not possible with other laser systems or high-grade chemical peels.
South Beach Peel combines Broadband Light (BBL) treatment done initially and then followed by a MicroLaser Peel using the Sciton Joule Laser platform. Brown spots or freckles are removed with the BBL, while the MicroLaser Peel removes the outermost layers of the skin for a smooth glow. Patients see a great improvement in sun damaged spots, fine lines, and wrinkles as a result of collagen tightening due to this combination treatment. All it takes is 30-45 minutes of your time.
After the treatment, pigmented spots will turn dark and your will experience mild redness and warmth, a sunburn-like sensation. Over the next 3-5 days you will see sloughing of the outer layers of skin. Redness may persist up to seven days and can be covered by using makeup on the sixth day and onwards. The number of treatments depends on your skin's condition and desired results. South Beach Peel is great for the face, neck, décolleté and hands.
It is recommended to have the treatment done once every 6 months to maintain the results and for anti-aging of skin.
The ProFractional laser treatment and a Broadband Light treatment are administered back-to-back during this laser peel which significantly improves skin texture, helping to smooth acne scars, fine lines as well as sun damage in the form of age spots, sun spots, redness, freckles and other forms of unwanted pigment caused by environmental factors.
The Arctic Peel, Blizzard Peel, and Nano Peels are all similar laser peels. They are slightly less aggressive than the MicroLaserPeel but a step more advanced than a chemical peel. The Arctic and Blizzard Peels do not remove as many of the outer layers of the epidermal skin. Therefore, this peel does not require the use of a topical anesthetic gel. Rather, these laser peels use very cold air on the skin to achieve adequate anesthesia, hence the name of this laser peel. The results are a fresher, tighter look to your skin. This is an excellent "jump start" to a good skin care program.
What is the MicroLaserPeel?
It is a minimal to full epidermal laser peel that precisely removes the outermost layers of the skin. The procedure is individually tailored to the nature of the problem to be corrected: wrinkles, scars, keratosis, or pigmentation problems.
Who should consider a MicroLaserPeel?
The patient looking for better results than microdermabrasion or light chemical peels can offer, yet, still, has minimal down time for the healing process.
How is the MicroLaserPeel different from Microdermabrasion?
Generally, microdermabrasion only removes the outer layer (stratum corneum, 10-15 microns) of the skin. Patients may become dissatisfied when the perceived results do not equal the expense and the number of procedures required.
The MicroLaserPeel is a minimal to full epidermal peel (20-50 microns). Because this procedure goes deeper into the epidermis, it is the perfect step between microdermabrasion and deeper peels.
How often does a MicroLaserPeel need to be done?
One procedure could be sufficient for at least 6 to12 months, but additional procedures can be performed as required. A package of three to four treatments is best suited in most scenarios. Individualized complimentary consultation will be done to evaluate you for the appropriate level of the treatment and to discuss the various options available.
What can the patient expect?
Smoother, healthier more vibrant skin. You will notice a significant and immediate change in skin texture and tightness. The results are manifold better compared to microdermabrasion or light chemical peels.
What type anesthesia is used?
A topical anesthetic is applied before the procedure. The procedure is well tolerated by most people.
Do I have to wear any type dressing or bandage after the procedure?
No dressings are required. We will prescribe an ointment such as Aqua fore or Vaseline or other skin care products appropriate for you. This is used as a barrier to keep the air away from your skin while you grow new skin layer (epithelium). You will probably use it for one to two days after the procedure.
How long is the healing process?
The healing process varies from patient to patient but will generally take from two to four days. The procedure can be performed on Thursday or Friday and you can return to work the following Monday. Immediately following the procedure you will feel as if you have a bad sunburn. You will have minor sloughing and itchiness the following day. By day two, redness will begin to fade and by day three any redness can be easily covered by makeup.
How much does the "Weekend" MicroLaserPeel™ cost?
Treatment price will vary and can be determined with a complimentary consultation at Malik Medical Aesthetics centers located close to you in Philadelphia Metro area. Please contact us to schedule your complimentary individualized consultation by calling (856) 478-4700.

Hi all,
Have a site where Backup Exec 11d is giving an error when trying to run any restore jobs or change the network logon credentials. "Storex - The data was not able to be validated"
I found this link http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH31414 to try and fix it, but I do not know the previous password for this account.
How do I get around this to update the credentials for the backup accounts?

This one's for you.
Poem by: ToniTaylor
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Oh this one's for you
yes this one too
I should stop writing you
letters that I'll never send you
But I dedicate this to you
along with my whole mind
you're the only thing that
can stay in there for so long
So I dedicated my whole spring to you
I was watching the last few drops of
snow melt while hoping the cold sun
would melt my love and my memories too
Oh but look it's summer
and here are all the great memories that
I thoughtI had forgotten
I'll be dedicating my summer to you this year too
Time flies by so fast right?
It's fall and I can only think about
falling deeper and deeper
until I can't fall anymore
Winter would you freeze my heart?
since all of the other seasons failed
oh this year better make me forget
how I once dedicated my whole heart to you

"We deeply care about the people who are generating high-quality content sites, which are the key to a healthy web ecosystem," Singhal said.
"Therefore any time a good site gets a lower ranking or falsely gets caught by our algorithm - and that does happen once in a while even though all of our testing shows this change was very accurate - we make a note of it and go back the next day to work harder to bring it closer to 100 percent."
"That's exactly what we are going to do, and our engineers are working as we speak building a new layer on top of this algorithm to make it even more accurate than it is," Singhal said.

The site with 1000 pages got a boost.
I call BS on that one. A few hours after Matt Cutts noticed and promised action, he magically came back up. Google got embarrassed so they are trying to spin it

So what do you think Matt did? Did he run to the plex and slap down the big red Rank Higher button? How hard did he hit the button? I hope not too hard or the site would be #1 for "Apple." Oh wait, he had someone tweak thousands of keyphrases...
I think that's a bit simplistic to believe they could actually do, personally.

But the changes were already in place early this morning, which makes me think Google is slowly tweaking its algorithm to get better results.

Why we've been upgraded, I have no idea. Google's head of spam, Matt Cutts, tweeted me yesterday, saying Google had likely seen my post and would get it resolved. And Wired.com published a story about us today after speaking to a Google Fellow Amit Singhal. But the changes were already in place early this morning, which makes me think Google is slowly tweaking its algorithm to get better results. I've asked Cutts for an explanation, and will post up if/when I get a reply.

Marketing blunders of our time

Throughout the history of technology, companies have made claims about products which have turned out, in retrospect, to be inaccurate. Some of them have been small quibbles - the performance of cache in a CPU, or a promised feature that didn't make it into a software package.
Some, on the other hand, have been spectacular misses.
This is a celebration of those claims that have turned out to be so fantastically wrong. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane...
Intel - the Pentium 4 will hit 10GHz
The Pentium processor has been one of the biggest names of the last decade. It launched in 1993, and the name came from the fact that it was the fifth-generation x86 architecture chip from Intel.
The chip had several successors, handily named the Pentium 2, Pentium 3 and Pentium 4. All scaled the amount of transistors, clock speed and cache included on the chip, theoretically scaling the power and speed at the same time.
The Pentium 4 was released in November 2000, with the first revision codenamed 'Willamette'. It employed a microarchitecture called NetBurst, which was designed to provide the fastest, most efficient processing for the programmes of the time. Included in NetBurst was a rapid execution engine, where the ALUs in the CPU actually operated at double the frequency of the core clock, and Hyper Pipelined technology, which was the extra-long number of stages in the processing pipeline - Willamette had 20 stages whilst Prescott, the last revision of the Pentium 4, had an amazing 31.
The Pentium 4 was heralded as a chip which would be at the heart of computers for a decade, scaling up to 10GHz by following Moore's Law.
In an
article for PC World
, Intel's George Alfs was quoted saying:
"Intel's P4 at 2 GHz is the world's highest performance desktop processor... P4's NetBurst architecture has the ability to scale to 10 GHz in its lifetime."
quoted chip guru Albert Yu as suggesting that the P4 would scale up to 10GHz and beyond through the lifetime of the chip.
Even better were the articles that attempt to compare the Pentium 4 to the Pentium 3. We now know, of course, that the P4's monstrously long pipeline was responsible for terrible heat problems and some dire performance. But back at the launch in 2000, Intel was playing down the drop in efficiency that the P4 represented - even though, as we know now, Intel has reverted back to a Pentium 3-like architecture with Core Duo. The quotes comparing the two
are amusing:
"A longer pipeline makes for higher clock speed. But does it sacrifice performance? The answer is yes and no.
Asked if a Pentium III would outperform a Pentium 4 at the same clock speed, Intel's Albert Yu said, "It's technically correct, but it's artificial."
Forthcoming Pentium III chips based on 0.13-micron process -- which are expected to reach speeds as high as 1.4GHz -- would outperform the Pentium 4 chips due out this fall on 0.18-micron technology. But Yu said that was an apples-to-oranges comparison."
So why did the Pentium 4 utterly fail to hit 10GHz? How did Intel pull the collective wool over the eyes of the technical press, unintentionally or otherwise? Why did Tejas, the successor to Pentium 4 that expanded on NetBurst, get so callously cancelled?
One issue is that the Pentium 4 was a marketing product of its time. As clock speeds sailed ever upwards, Intel found that it was able to sell more and more chips based on making the chip faster and faster in raw gigahertz. Intel's marketing team was desperate for faster chips, because it was such a strong selling message. For the consumer, raw speed was easy to understand. Intel's engineers were instructed to make a chip that was faster, rather than necessarily better - the products were marketing led.
However, AMD did a very good job of debunking the 'megahertz myth'. It proved, at least to sophisticated users, that performance of a chip wasn't just about clock speed. It did a great job of branding itself as a superior technology with 64-bit, and it showed that efficiency could make for a processor that was easier to integrate. As Intel pushed BTX as a format that would solve heat problems on processors, AMD pointed out that none of its own processors
heat problems.
And eventually, the lack of efficiency undid it. Reviewers went to town on Intel as the Pentium 4 progressed, because the heat went past the reasonable stage, making it a difficult processor to work with, entailing loud and bulky machines.
The inefficiency of the NetBurst architecture was becoming ever-more apparent, and AMD provided better competition. Frankly, NetBurst was
. Intel was betting that media and online programmes would make great use of the long pipeline in the architecture, but that turned out not to be the case, as performance suffered from repeated pipeline stalls. The one aspect of NetBurst that was beneficial - HyperThreading, which was the forerunner of dual-core - proved to be the stepping stone to the next-gen architecture, rather than the saviour of the P4.
What also changed was usage. It was all very well having faster processors, but how fast did users really need to run Office? The bottleneck on net speed has never been the processor! At the same time, we wanted to do more things
at once
, which lent itself to more cores rather than more raw speed.
The final nail in the coffin was Pentium M. The spiritual successor to the Pentium 3, it proved that Intel
still make fast, efficient chips that were architecturally more elegant and got the job done. Once we saw that, why would we continue to put up with Pentium 4?
The successor to Pentium 4 inside Intel, Tejas, was scheduled to be released in mid-2005, but was cancelled as the rampant success of Pentium M became apparent. NetBurst development was ended, and Intel's internal focus shifted to creating a desktop chip out of the new mobile architecture.
Now we have Core 2 Duo, and Pentium 4 is consigned to history. Will Intel hit 10GHz in the next 5 years? Who knows. With the Core microarchitecture, it surely has a better chance.
