Our latest pics from the peaks...
I've been trying a few vertical panoramic shots...
On the right, a telephoto shot from the snow in early 2012 overlooking Tideswell, I was drawn to the one grey / blue rendered house in the middle (the colourful chimney pots and post van were a bonus). On the left an odd angled crop from a while ago of a spring lamb and watchful mother, from some distance away behind a fence again with my telephoto lens.
Areas covered include the moorland of Bleaklow, Derwent Edge and Kinder Scout, as well as the gritstone edges of Stanage, Bamford, Burbage, Froggatt and Curbar. Castleton is included along with Peveril Castle, Winnats Pass & Mam Tor, and further east around Hathersage including Millstone Edge, Over Owler Tor, Carl Wark and Higger Tor. I have a few shots around Baslow, Birchens and Gardoms edges, and have some further south from Monsal Head, Bakewell and Chatsworth.
There is also a blog and a slideshow...

The South Bridge is a two-lane beam bridge connecting the southern end of Little Havana and the northern end of Ocean Beach in Vice City. The bridge has appeared in both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In both games, the bridge was closed due to a storm warning, later re-opening.

>Running 101>New to running/jogging/loafing: where to learn?
Since I use metric a lot, I must be a troll!
Since I use metric a lot, I must be a troll!
Metric rules!
Not trolling, just trying to get some advice. I prefer metric because in most instances, it makes more sense and is easier to work with. I put in lbs because I momentarily forgot the conversion to kg. 185cm and 75 kg is not overweight?
So, judging by the responses there seems to be some suggestions that tjoseph's advice should not be taken. Is this true for all of it, or just the stuff about starting out at 70 miles per week? Is the diet stuff generally similar to that followed by most runners? It seems to be based on a raw fruitarian diet, is this common? And is starting out running barefoot or with with barefoot "shoes" a good or bad idea?
I don't need to be told how to laze about, I know how to do that already, lol. I just literally don't know how to run or jog or loaf, and I'm afraid of doing so without knowing how, because it would be arrogant and immoral to think that I could do something without proper instruction. I feel very limited by this, since I think running is an important life skill, that helps us get from one place to another more quickly. I'm really not so interested in the health benefits per se, although I know i need to lose weight and I think running could help with that.
Do most personal trainers have skills in teaching proper jogging/running, or should I look for something in particular?
Finally PRed!!!

Go to a running shoe store, have them help you pick out a pair of running shoes. Go out and run SLOWLY. If you have to walk, SLOW DOWN MORE. Even if you could walk faster, keep to the running. Start short, work on adding time to the runs every few days. But vary the length of the runs, if you're tired one day run shorter the next and recover.
Over time, you will be able to run faster at the same effort. Don't force it. If you want to run faster for all or part of a run once per week to get the heart rate up, go for it...once per week.
You do not need to kill yourself every day to get better. In fact, that will hurt you.
Hang around and keep reading. Look at peoples' running logs on here.

: to spend time in idleness
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
Go to RRCA.org at the top of the home screen click on 'find a coach'. Find your state and click on it and there will be a list of certified running coaches.
You can find lots of good information on the internet but determining what is good and what is bad is tough if you've never run before.
Also try a local running shoe store. Most of them hold new runner classes. Doing it in a group is easier, most will gradually build you up to be able to complete a 5K in 8 week or so. You might meet new friends and at the worst you start your path to fitness.

Examples of LOAF
I spent most of the weekend just loafing around the house.
<the kind of sultry August afternoon that makes you just want to loaf>
Since this is how you said you want to start, perhaps you'd find the kind of help you're looking for in a loafing forum?
That's not how I want to start, it's how I was told I would need to start elsewhere. I assumed it was a term of art used by runners to mean something other than just it's dictionary definition.
If you're not trolling, you have been trolled--unless I am totally clueless, "loafing" is not a running term. There is some good advice here (like spaniel or Coach Glenn has posted), but TJoseph was, indeed, trolling.
You don't need to learn to run--you just need to do it. My log charts from-zero progress over the past year and a half or so if you want to see what I did. (I don't recommend all of it, as I've had my moments of idiocy.) Basically, go out, run slowly, repeat as many days a week as you can without hurting. Run faster maybe once a week.
Thanks for the advice. It's hard to pick out what's good advice from contradictory information on the internet when you know nothing about a subject.
I'm really not interested in competing at all. I just want to learn to run because it might save my life at some point, or , less glamourously, help me catch a bus.
He was/is trolling, but yes, my advice was tongue in cheek.
That's funny... and rather British.
Live the Adventure. Enjoy the Journey. Be Kind. Have Faith!

As the Tour de France reaches its climax, two teenage boys from Downlands School in Devizes are taking on their own cycling challenge in The Alps.
Bailey Spall, 13, and Marley North, 15, will join pupils from other schools that specialise in helping youngsters with emotional and behavioural problems on the trip of a lifetime.
They will cycle around Mont Blanc on a week trip that will test them to their limits as part of the Fastest Classroom on Earth project, organised by Springfields Academy in Calne. It uses unusual trips and challenges to bring the best out of youngsters and develop their leadership skills.
But before they can go, the pupils and their teachers need to raise another £2,500 to make the trip possible.
Downlands assistant headteacher Mike Rees-Lee, who will accompany them, said: "It is going to be an extremely difficult ride for all of us. We will be covering about 300kms and some of it will be very hilly, but I am sure it will be something that will change their lives forever.
"We have noticed that just by qualifying to go on the ride their behaviour has improved tremendously and they are becoming more confident."
Bailey said: "To get to this stage we both had to work really hard. We took part in a team-building exercise and cycling weekend, which we both succeeded in getting though to the final 18 from 1,000 applicants.
"We are now in the final stage but need to raise enough money."
The ride will take place at the end of September and a number of fundraising events are planned by the school.

UF outfielder won't return
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 4:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 4:53 p.m.
Florida redshirt senior outfielder Tyler Thompson will not play this upcoming season, UF announced Wednesday.
Thompson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the SEC opener against Vanderbilt last March. It was the second time he had torn an ACL in his career.
Thompson is on track to graduate in May. An SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll selection in 2009, he finished with a career average of .280 in 154 games played (90 starts). Thompson scored 65 runs, totaled 64 RBI, drew 29 walks, recorded 13 stolen bases in 23 attempts and had 11 doubles, 10 homers and five triples as a Gator.
Florida opens its season with a three-game series against Duke beginning Feb. 15.

Summer Getaways: Escape the Heat, Nevada's Just a Few Hours Away
June 17, 2011 by in Travel
It's that time of year again. The temperatures are rising. The tourists are thinning out. Summer is making its approach and for those of us in the Valley who aren't snowbirds, there's no alternative except to tough it out. Or is there?

THREE members of a gang who beat up a man in his own home after "rampaging" around the property, have walked free from court.
Royden Quinn was set about in the upstairs of his home on Rhoda Street, Nelson, after a drinking session, in January. His attackers were his partner Jennie Banks's son, Calvin Banks, 26, his next door neighbour Jackie Driver, 44, her brother Peter Simpson, 28, and Kevin Hesselden, 20.
Mr Quinn was punched and kicked in the violence. When he was taken to hospital, he was found to have a fracture to his left cheekbone and a suspected break to his left eye. But, there had been trouble the day before and it couldn't be said the four definitely caused the smashed bone, Burnley Crown Court heard.
Calvin Banks, of St Philip's Street and Driver, of Rhoda Street, both Nelson, Hesselden, of Pritchard Street and Peter Simpson, of Spencer Street, both Burnley, all admitted assault causing actual bodily harm.
Simpson, who is already behind bars until the end of next year, was given 16 months. Banks and Hesselden received 18 months in prison, suspended for two years. Driver was given 18 months in custody, suspended for 12 months.
Mark Lamberty, prosecuting, said it was alleged the victim had made threats with a knife to Driver the night before.
The night of the assault, there was drinking at Mr Quinn's house. He went to bed about 8pm, and was followed up by Simpson who was angry over the knife threat, woke him up and ordered him to apologise to his sister and kiss her feet.
The victim went downstairs to apologise. In the early hours, he again woke up, to find the defendants in his room. He was punched repeatedly to the face and ribs.

I can't believe Full Figured Fashion Week is all done and over with. My week in NYC went by in a minute! Before I knew it, the runway finale was upon us.
The event was held in a hotel located in Times Square and I can tell you the energy at the event was ten times more than what was going on outside.
I know I might sound like a broken record, but I can't stress how amazing it is to have all of these amazingly full figured, plus sized, curvaceous, shapely, or whatever you want to call it, women in one room drooling over fashion.
The designers were amazing and I loved that they used such a wide range of models in different sizes. I literally had my jaw drop a couple of times when I saw these beauties strutting their stuff on the runway.
Every designer had something I liked, but there were a few designs that definitely stood out. They know who they are! And I want to send a BIG CONGRATS to my girls Maddy and Fluvia for the awards they won! You are such role models! I love ya!!
For the finale, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone (thanks Ivory!), with a body hugging colorful dress. I found this cobalt Rachel Rachel Roy "The Vivian Dress" at Macy's. It's an XL and I was so happy I was able to stuff my curves into it. I paired it with these Jefferey Campbell lace back pumps, Forever 21 earrings, and Avenue bracelets (of course).
I think most of you have seen photos from the finale, but I wanted to share this one with you. It's my favorite one of the night. It really shows the beauty on the inside and outside of these amazingly stunning women.

Colorful QuintetLogic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Aaron, Chester, Leon, Mark, and Randy all play in a saxophone quintet together. They all play different colors of instruments. They all have nicknames they use when they're on stage. Can you figure out who has what nickname and which instrument each of them plays?
First Names: Aaron, Chester, Leon, Mark, Randy
Nicknames: Heatwave, Nighttime, Polar Bear, Rainbow, Spectrum
Instruments: Soprano Sax, Alto Sax, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone (or Bari) Sax
Instrument Colors: Black, Blue, Gold, Red, Silver
1) One person has a nickname that starts with the same letter as the color of his sax. Another has a nickname that starts with the same letter as the type of sax he has.
2) Heatwave, the tenor sax player, often plays duets with Aaron.
3) Randy's sax and the blue sax are both altos.
4) The gold sax is smaller (or higher) than Leon's and bigger (or lower) than the red one.
5) Polar Bear got his nickname because his sax color and his white beard remind the others of the arctic ice and snow.
6) One time Nighttime lost his neck strap. The gold sax player could not help him. Luckily, Chester had a spare.
HintOf the four sax types in this puzzle, the soprano is the smallest (or highest), followed by the alto and the tenor. The baritone is the biggest (or lowest) or them.
Silver is the color closest to ice.
AnswerAaron's nickname is Nighttime and he plays an alto sax that is blue.
Chester's nickname is Spectrum and he plays a soprano sax that is black.
Leon's nickname is Polar Bear and he plays a baritone sax that is silver.
Mark's nickname is Heatwave and he plays a tenor sax that is gold.

Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan, Paul Giamatti and Sally Field.
Director: Marc Webb
I'm not usually a big fan of remakes and reboots but I actually think that the time was right for Spider-Man to make a re-appearance given the huge success of the recent Marvel films.
So in 2010 / 2011 a fairly unknown director Marc Webb (I kid you not.) was allowed to direct his first attempt at a superhero film. His only previous full length movie was 500 days of Summer (2009). Maybe Sony was more influenced by his surname?
Aunt May and Peter
As it turned out Webb proved that he had a talent for directing action movies and the film also made a name for a young man from our own Surrey town of Epsom, Andrew Garfield. The follow up to The Amazing Spider-Man, the cleverly named The Amazing Spider-Man 2 can be seen in UK cinemas now. "Is it Amazing?" I hear you say. Actually it was a lot better that I was expecting and Garfield has really got into the role of Spider-Man and to coin a Louis Walsh phrase He's made it his own. Emma Stone also returns as Peter Parker's love interest Gwen Stacy as does Sally Field as Aunt May.
In this follow up, life is good for Spider-Man swinging between New York skyscrapers catching bad guys and being loved by the good people of the city. The only major downside is that he still has feelings for Gwen and he made a promise to her late Father, Police Captain Stacy (Denis Leary) to keep Gwen safe by staying away from her. Needless to say the pair cannot be parted for long and actors Garfield and Stone really produce a great chemistry together. But this wouldn't be a Spider-Man film without a bucket load of super-villains to ruin the day intent on destroyer New York (again). Jamie Foxx plays lonely handy-man Max Dillon who works for Oscorp. Max is quite a sweet guy and has an almost childlike hero worship for Spider-Man. However, following a freak accident including some damaged heavy duty electric cables and a tank full of electric eels, Max is transformed into Electro, a blue neon super villain who feels that he has been betrayed by Spidy.
Max and his hero Spider-Man
Peter's old childhood buddy Harry Osborn (Dan DeHaan) returns to New York from boarding school to see his dying Father Norman (Chris Cooper) and discovers that he has the Osborn genetic curse. Of course the former friends fall out and Harry turns all psycho and takes on the persona of the Green Goblin adding to the danger about to impact on Spider-Man's world.
Andrew Garfield gives 100% in his performance as both the not too geeky Peter Parker and Spider-Man complete with the usual trade mark quips. This is balanced well with some very emotional scenes as he battles with his inner demons and the loss of his Parents. At least in this sequel we find out about his Father's involvement in Oscorp and why Peter was abandoned at a young age.
Emma Stone was well cast and gets involved in some of the action. Jamie Foxx's Electro is a villain that you have empathy for up to a point. It's unfortunate that his character isn't fleshed out a bit more. I almost forgot to mention Paul Giamatti makes an appearance as a Russian criminal who is recruited by the Ravenscourt Institute to destroy Spider-Man and dons a metal suit armed with massive machine guns and becomes the villain Rhino. I like Paul Giamatti but not sure why he is even in this film with his appalling eastern European accent. Fortunately there are enough elements in the film to satisfy the hard core comic-book fans, plus a few surprises thrown in as well.
The film is by no means perfect but for shear entertainment value I give it a Foker On Film 4 out of 5 stars.
Out in UK cinemas now.

Ben Watts' photographic scrapbook and travel diary is as bold and in-your-face as it can be—chock-full of his signature gritty, energetic snapshots, some of which are cut, pasted, and sutured with brightly colored tape. The book showcases the wide range of subject matter that finds its way in front of Watts' lens, from Heath Ledger (who Watts shot for ELLE in 2005) and other A-list celebs such as Benicio del Toro, Tobey Maguire, and Rachel Weisz to a rich street mix of musicians, teenage hipsters and hip-hopsters, and Brooklyn biker gangs.

Retail Marketers – Time to Bring Your Customers Back
September 12, 2012
Findings from our latest Digital Index Report, The ROI from Marketing to Existing Online Customers, show that it takes seven first-time online shoppers to deliver the same revenue per visit as just one repeat purchaser.
Existing customers provide greater ROI for retailers. So, why are the bulk (80%) of interactive marketing budgets spent on trying to attract new shoppers? Surely the number one priority should be existing customers?
The financial rewards for marketing to return and repeat customers are significant. It is estimated that for every 1% of shoppers who return for another visit, overall revenue will increase by 10%. The impact of this is obvious and incredible. Based on the sample used for our study, in both Europe and the US, on average, 40% of revenue comes from returning or repeat customers, who represent only 8% of all visitors.
This is magnified even further during Christmas, with the increase from repeat purchasers being a massive 23% – nearly 500% higher!
As well as Christmas, repeat purchasers also deliver greater returns during slow economic growth. With the Eurozone issues over the past few years, where overall GPD growth in Europe has been either weak or negative, repeat purchasers have become even more important to the bottom line.
So how can your brand benefit from this information and turn shoppers into return and repeat purchasers?
1. Firstly, conversion rates need to be considered as this is the main driver for higher return per visit. The conversion rate for first time shoppers is just 1%, whereas for returning and repeat customers it's five and nine times as much, respectively. Marketers need to optimise site conversion rates across the board to bring customers back to the site.
2. Secondly, you need to look at better targeting customers; personalisation is key! Companies that personalise the experience increase the likelihood of both sales and recommendations. A pretty obvious statement, but many marketers are not taking advantage of all the customer data they have on existing customers, that makes personalisation possible.
3. Lastly, offering rewards, loyalty programme promotions and using tactics such as email and display ad retargeting, are all great ways to encourage return visits and bring those sales figures up.
If you're going to give one piece of advice to your colleagues across the marketing department as you gear up for Christmas, make sure you prioritise the present list according to ROI.

There are many "beef roasts" Rib eye, eye of round, steamship etc.
A tough cut will get tender with slow cooking while a tender cut will turn to "butter".
Fat cap helps but is the roast marbled as well? Could be a small boneless rib roast or an eye of round.
One indicator would be how much it cost per pound. Rib should cost more that an eye of round.
I'd err on the slow side. Slow is easier to pull from the heat and retains more of its' moisture.
Any beef rub will do. Just don't over salt. Long cooking times tend to concentrate the saltiness. You can always add salt after. You can never take salt away.

SanDisk Ultra Plus SSD Review (256GB)by Anand Lal Shimpi on 1/7/2013 9:00 AM EST

Back to Article
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkPerformance vs Transfer Size and TRIM graphs are missing, I know. Already pinged Anand about those so expect to see them soon (the graphs weren't in our admin engine so I couldn't add them, Anand needs to upload them). Reply
vol7ron - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkThe impact of spare area graphs are interesting. OWC has claimed that the spare area doesn't have much of an influence on drives using SF controller, thus defending their non-TRIM support.
Perhaps Anand could include an OWC drive in there for comparison. Reply
dave_the_nerd - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkOWC has to run down TRIM because they sell third-party SSDs to Mac OS X users. Apple forces OS X to disable TRIM on SSDs they don't supply, because they're jerks sometimes.
Apple ships its own machines with TRIM enabled, just like everybody else,
There are hacks. But nobody, OWC or otherwise, is going to say, "oh, yeah, our product supports TRIM, but you need to download this sketchy looking program from this guys blog to make it work. Good luck." Reply
Darnell021 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkhaha yess I just went through that process myself and it's worth adding that every incremental OSX update resets that sketchy little program hack to turn TRIM back off.
Still worth it though if you know what you're doing ;) Reply
Samus - Monday, January 07, 2013 - link"but you need to download this sketchy looking program from this guys blog to make it work."
word. true dat, had to do this when I put an Intel X25-M 160GB in my wife's Macbook a few years ago. after about a year it started running crazy slow and fortunately that was just around the time the 3rd party TRIM tool surfaced. works like a charm, but definitely a sketchy solution.
no more sketchy than jail-breaking an iPhone though. pretty much the only reason I jailbroke my iPod Touch was to disable wifi while its sleeping, because, for some reason, Apple DOESN'T allow that. Reply
NCM - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkI don't see anything "sketchy" about it. A quick trip to the Unix command line enables/disables TRIM in OSX. All the TRIM Enabler utility does is to offer a convenient GUI for that process. It can hardly be said to rise to the level of a hack. The System Profiler correctly shows whether TRIM is enabled or not for either an original or aftermarket SSD.
It's always dangerous to impute motives to others, and especially so in the case of the typically secretive Apple. Nonetheless I'd guess that Apple, whose customer support is consistently rated well above that of other PC manufacturers, isn't going to endorse something it hasn't tested, and isn't going to test something it doesn't sell. Therefore OSX neither enables TRIM automatically for third party SSDs, nor prevents users from doing so themselves. Sound pretty neutral to me. Reply
PJCarmody - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkNCM,
To your point "isn't going to endorse something it hasn't tested" - Apple is not being asked to endorse the third party options. Not for a moment. So your point is invalid.
I like your open mind but let's face facts: Apple has a history of crippling third party competitors e.g. for storage. Reply
leexgx - Saturday, April 11, 2015 - linki like to add in OSX 10.10 it now checks all files relating to the hack that allows TRIM to work (basicly its a white list for all Apple SSDs to enable TRIM if your not on that list no TRIM for you)
the new tool disables the so called new "security feature to detect tampering of files" to allow you to restore TRIM again, but you have to turn off the trim hack each 10.10.x update on OSX as it turned the security back on resulting in none booting system after update (but is recoverable via safe mode console some commands and so on)
next new features next major update (10.11) will be only boot from Apple only drives (to force you to only buy a SSD from apple for a cool price of £400-£900) Reply
gw019 - Monday, September 16, 2013 - link"But nobody, OWC or otherwise, is going to say, "oh, yeah, our product supports TRIM, but you need to download this sketchy looking program from this guys blog to make it work. Good luck."
Well, I am surprised but in fact Plextor did say something similar: http://www.plextoramericas.com/index.php/faq/22-ma... Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkYeah, that's true. SandForce drives perform well when it comes to consistency and there is no big benefit from more OP (I've tested this with 240GB Intel SSD 335). Reply
Samus - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkI'm just dying for a mainstream Intel S3700 to hit the consumer corner... Reply
Beenthere - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkFew if anyone would be able to differentiate a noticeable actual system performance change no matter which one of the listed SSDs they chose. SanDisk hasn't yet learned how to dupe the benches but in due time their numbers will increase similar to the others.
If you're going to buy an SSD you should do your homework so you know the liabilities and realities including reliability and campatibility issues, lost data, drive size change, etc. If you want an eye opener read the warranties on SSDs at the respective SSD mfg. websites. Reply
mrdude - Monday, January 07, 2013 - link"The drive PCB itself is very small, potentially paving the way for some interesting, smaller-than-2.5" form factors."
That's the most interesting bit, I find. Those things are absolutely tiny. So tiny that it kind of makes you wonder if standardizing the NGFF cards is even worth it going forward. If you need small storage then you can just stick with the standard SATA connectors on an itsy bitsy drive.
Very cool :) Reply
vol7ron - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkn-TB sizes that much more of a coming reality Reply
SmCaudata - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkI picked up a SanDisk extreme 240 last year for about 50¢ per GB and I'm happy. Even during black Friday I didn't see anything cheaper and this drive is fast. The difference between most ssd now is academic. User experience is nearly the same for average consumers. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkIsnt it the same that OCZ implemented in Vertex4 f/w 1.4 ? Reply
blowfish - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkSo for XP users, would a drive that doesn't support Trim be the way to go, since MS decided not to add Trim to XP in order to push Win7? Reply
randinspace - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkUpgrading to Windows 7 (and pretending like 8 didn't happen even though it has enviable features...) is the way to go. Seriously speaking (upgrade), it's not like a drive that has TRIM support is going to be a bad thing even if you can't use it, but see the above comments about Sandforce controllers in general/Intel's 335 series SSDs in particular. Or even see the comments about hacking in TRIM support, IF YOU DARE!
FWIW I'm very happy with the performance of my (240GB) 335. I'd probably buy another one to put in my laptop if they weren't going for $40 more than what I paid last month... Reply
dave_the_nerd - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkThey all support TRIM. None REQUIRE it.
If your OS doesn't support TRIM commands, you just have to find the drive with the best built-in GC routines. That used to be Sandforce, but I don't know anymore. Reply
kmmatney - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkWith Samsung and Intel SSDs you can just run their toolbox software to do a manual TRIM. Iknow you can schedule it automatically with the Intel SSD Toolbox, and I think you can do that with the Samsung software as well. I've had a 40GB Intel SSD running on Windows XP for 2+ years and the TRIM scheduler works great. Reply
Flunk - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkIf you want real performance you could make a versio of this that features two of these PCBs along with a RAID chip for enhanced performance. All in a 2.5" form factor would be quite compelling. Reply
bmgoodman - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkSorry, but after the way SanDisk handled the TRIM issue on their SanDisk Extreme hard drives last year, I will NEVER buy from them again. I understand mistakes are made and things don't go as expected, but for the longest time they simply would not comment at all on the problem. Their response plan to bury their heads in the sand is NOT a strategy for good customer support.
Quoth the raven, "nevermore!" Reply
magnetar - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkIMO, SanDisk handled the SandForce 5.0 firmware TRIM issue as it needed to be dealt with, carefully and professionally.
The weak statement about it from a SanDIsk forum moderator that was buried in a thread started by a SanDisk customer was apparently missed by most of those concerned about this issue. That was a mistake. Responding to angry demands for a release date is not professional.
The other SSD manufactures that provided the fixed firmware very quickly were not doing their customers a favor. That indicated to me that those manufactures did very little testing and verification of the new firmware. Considering that all the SSD manufactures that used the 5.0 firmware, and SandForce itself missed finding the problem, a careful approach with the new firmware was warranted.
The firmware update SanDisk provided not only included the fixed firmware, but other fixes as well, including a fix for the incorrect temperature reading some of the Extreme SSDs had. SanDisk chose to provide one update with multiple fixes, rather than multiple firmware updates, which was the better option IMO. The more firmware updates necessary, the less professional the product is.
The R211 firmware update program SanDisk provided was the best one I've ever used. Running in Windows, it worked with the SanDisk Ex connected to the Marvell 9128 SATA chipset! Any other firmware update programs can do that? The lack of complaints about that firmware update program in the SanDisk forum also indicates how good it is.
No blemish on SanDisk IMO, actually exactly the opposite. Reply
Kevin G - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkLooking at the PCB for this drive makes me feel that this was a precursor to an mSATA version down the road. Hacking off the SATA and power connector for an edge connector looks like it'd be the right size. Kinda makes one wonder why they just didn't using a mSATA to SATA adapter in a 2.5" enclosure and launch both products simultaneously. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkSanDisk X110 was launched alongside the Ultra Plus, which is essentially an mSATA version of the Ultra Plus. Reply
perrydoell - Tuesday, January 08, 2013 - linkHow about making the PCB 4x larger... 1GB SSD drive! Reply
vanwazltoff - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkmost companies purposely put out a high performing ssd and a low performing ssd, this probably their low end or more likely they are trying to shrink power consumption and size for smaller form factors such as tablets. sandisks extreme ssd went toe to toe with an 830 and proved itself a worthy component with more leveled results than an 830. i am sure they will have answer to the 840 pro soon enough Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkThe Extreme was a normal SF-2281 offering with Toggle Mode NAND. Nothing fancy about that imho. Reply
iaco - Monday, January 07, 2013 - link64 GB packages. Verrrry nice.
Tells me what we've known all along: Apple has no excuse charging obscene prices for NAND on their iPads, iPhones and Macs. 64 GB probably costs what, $50 at retail? Apple wants $200 to upgrade from 16 to 64 GB.
Maybe they'll finally get around to updating the iPod classic. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, January 07, 2013 - link8GB 2-bit-per-cell MLC contract price is currently $4.58 ($0.57) on average according to inSpectrum. That would put the cost of 64GB MLC NAND to $36.50. Price depends on quality, though, but smartphones/tablets in general don't use the highest quality NAND (the best dies are usually preserved for SSDs, the second tier NAND is for phones/tablets). Reply
name99 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkIf you want to buy flash, buy flash.
If you want to buy an iPod, buy an iPod.
But DON'T whine that an iPod (or iPhone, or iPad) costs "too much" because the flash in it is cheap.
It's not 2003. We all know Apple costs more (sometimes a little more, sometimes a lot more) than the competition. We also all know that Apple provides more (sometimes a little bit more, sometimes a lot more) than the competition. What we DON'T need is MORE fscking half-assed bitching about whether Apple does or does not "cost too much".
You want to do that, go read the comments on any damn tech site for any year from about 1976 onwards. Just don't waste our time bringing up the issue on modern threads, especially threads that have NOTHING to do with the cost of Apple's products. Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkIt's not Apples products only, this applies to all tablets/smartphones. Google charges 50$/€ for an 8/16GB upgrade. Also, if you want to whine about people whining about Apple, please don't. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Monday, January 07, 2013 - linkAnd if you want to whine about people whining about people whining about Apple, please dont. Reply
runeks - Monday, August 05, 2013 - linkI really have to say I agree with this.
This is not a choice between an Apple (or any other company's) device costing either "$n for a 16GB version and $n+200 for the 64GB" version or "$n for a 16GB version and $n+50 for the 64GB version". It's the choice between the former or a "$n+150 16GB version and a $n+200 64GB version". See? You're happy now, because the difference in price reflects the cost of the more expensive part. Except no one will every buy a 16GB version. Why would they? Only $50 more for 64GB. At the same time they would shut out a part of the market that just wants an iPhone, which they can get for $n, if you don't have the requirement of them only selling devices with largers capacity at the added cost for the part in question.
Pricing is so much more than just the cost of a chip. It's the way the company makes its money back on an investment. They wouldn't be able to sell the larger capacity phone at +$50 because that would raise the price of the low capacity phone and shut out a part of the market that wants that $n phone. And these people would say "Oh, see, Samsung phones only cost $n for a 16GB version, why does an iPhone have to cost $n+150?" It's an eternal neverending loop of some segment of your customer base that are not quite satisfied. The people who really like the 64GB version are dissatisfied with paying $200 more than the 16GB version, but the people who only need 16GB are glad to be able to get it for $200 less than the 64GB version. You change the rules and you just make a different customer segment unhappy, or just unwilling to buy your product. Reply

zyk - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkIt's nice to see Anand finally get some different brands to test, but unfortunately he probably missed the party on some key drives. There had been excellent prices on SanDisk's Extreme line of drives and it would have been nice to see how SanDisk's combination of high density / low die count toggle mode NAND stacked up against the likes of the Patriot Wildfire or OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS - Which was less extreme of a channel limitation as this marvell based drive. Also missing from his tests were drives from those such as Mushkin Enhanced who's Chronos Deluxe was frequently the cheapest togglemode+sandforce 2nd gen drive on newegg. Since all these other brands are missing from Anand's testing, it would be nice to get these charts to show a little bit more details in them about controller and NAND type rather than just linkspeed and occationally firmware version, so they don't have to be constantly looked up when making decisions. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Wednesday, January 09, 2013 - linkI finally got a Chronos Deluxe from Mushkin. I originally asked for it over 6 months ago (due to reders' request) but there were some issues with getting in contact with Mushkin.
I think Anand also has a SanDisk Extreme.
To be honest, there aren't big differences between SandForce based SSDs. Corsair Force GS is an example of a SF-2281 drive with Toggle Mode NAND and FW 5.x.x, all similar SSDs I've tested (coming soon!) perform very similarly. Reply
fritz33 - Friday, July 12, 2013 - linkI just bought a Lenovo X201 Tablet. Can i use this drive with activated Windows 7 Bitlocker? Will Bitlocker slow down this drive and wear it down noticeable? Or does this drive have a hardware encrypten like the Crucial M500 from your review? If so how would i use it instaed of Bitlocker? I am sorry but I don't have any experience in encrypted drive.

Installing compiled software with checkinstall
From MEPIS Documentation Wiki
Checkinstall creates a .deb package from the compiled program and installs it. You can manage the package afterwards with the usual tools: dpkg, apt-get, KPackage, Synaptic. It's very easy to remove the package.
Install checkinstall from the repos through Synaptic or a root terminal.
NOTE: checkinstall is not available in Debian Etch and thus in MEPIS 7, see the technical explanation here. It can installed in MEPIS 7 with the deb from the Checkinstall download page.
Download the tarball source file. Open a terminal, type su to become root, then type the following in order:
1. ./configure --prefix=/usr
2. make
3. checkinstall
Then answer questions that come up. When you get to the part where it has maintainer, version number, etc., then edit the version number if you see it hasn't got a number in it. If it has letters only then you will get an error and it won't install the package.

After the 9/11, the curiosity of many Americans to know more about Islam has led them to embrace the faith.
Johannah Segarich, the Utah-born music instructor, decided to study Islam as she was very curious to learn about this religion. In just a few months later, she decided to recite the Kalimah Shahadah (Islamic testimony of faith) and embraced Islam.
"I was a middle-aged professional woman, the Utah-born music instructor very independent, very contemporary, and here I was turning to this religion." Johannah Segarich said while she was talking of her conversion as the Huffington Post reported on Thursday, August 25.
Besides Segarich, Angela Collins Telles decided to embrace Islam after seeing the anti-Muslim frenzy grew after the 9/11. Telles told that when she saw some of her country's people think Muslims as terrorists and oppressors of women she felt a need to defend Muslims. At this point, Telles began studying Islam to get a better understanding of the faith. After an in-depth study, she decided to become a Muslim.
"I knew that I had found God, and that"s all I ever wanted." she said and continued; "The concept of God was the most beautiful thing, and that concept fit with what I believe," she said.
Collins Telles now lives in Brazil with her husband, who also embraced Islam after meeting her.
Chicagoan Kelly Kaufmann had a similar experience when she had to defend Muslims against accusations of being anti-peace. Kaufmann decided to study Islam and became a Muslim.
Trisha Squires was also another Muslim convert who studied on Islam after 9/11.
Observers estimate that as many as 20,000 Americans convert to Islam annually.
According to experts, the majority of post-9/11 converts are women.
Serving converts, many mosques have launched programs to help them with learning the Islamic principles: prayer, basic beliefs, and proper behavior.
Vaqar Sharief, who was tasked to create a program for converts at the Islamic Center of Wilmington, Del., estimates his mosque gets four or five converts every month.

Tail-Gator Bike Rack
Reviewed By Daniel D (PLYMOUTH, MA) Reviewed for a 2006 Honda Ridgeline —10/16/2012 5:42 AM
Works just fine! I use it for a boy's bike and a girl's bike and had no problem securing them. The rack also attaches securely to the tailgate and goes on easy enough. I use extra bungi cords just to be safe and I put towels between the rack and the truck to prevent scratching but probably don't really need to. If you don't have a trailer hitch, this is the way to go.

I started using a chimney starter about a month and a half ago. I bought the starter at Wal-Mart. The first couple of times I used the starter I used Wal-Mart brand instant-lite charcoal, since I already had it around and I didn't want it to go to waste. It wasn't until after my second use of this type of charcoal that I noticed that the chimney starter instructions say not to use lighter fluid, or charcaol with lighter fluid in it, with the starter. Maybe it was because of the lighter fluid in the charcoal, but the stater really lit up beautifully, and the coals got nice & hot.
However, I haven't had the same success with regular (without the lighter fluid in it) charcoal bricquettes (Wal-Mart brand) in the chimney starter. The coals don't get red or ashy at all after 40 minutes and multiple sheets of newspaper. I don't see any flame coming up in the uppper chamber. I don't think the newspaper is flaming up sufficiently.
What could be the problem? Could it be humidity in the newspaper? Should I only use "fresh" newspaper? The bag the charcoal came is resealable, and I did seal it; there are also no visible tears in the bag. I keep the bag of charcoal indoors & sheltered, away from humidity.
I've got guests coming next weekend and I want to get this resolved by them so I can impress them with my grilling!

Louis Otto
1976 — Phoenix, AZ
Airman 3rd Class Louis Otto's Vietnam Service is the 2nd Story.... Aircraft Engine Mechanic, Pacific US Air Forces. (2nd Story below)
Louie Otto was born "Louis James (Jimmy) Ottaviani/Otto" to Joseph and Mary Tomotchko ( 1916 – 1943 ) and both his mother/Mary and his twin sister Patricia Ann died during childbirth. Louis survived and with the help of family was cared for. Joseph and Mary Tomotchko ( 1916 – 1943 ) Ottaviani's first son was born about 1940 ...John Joseph "Jack" Otto. FATHER/ Joe Otto re-married to Albina Joan Opolinsky (1921-1993) and THEY had 5 children.... the 1/2 siblings were; Angela (Cheech), Carol Ann, Joey, Tony and Andrea. As of March, 2013... after Jimmie (Louie),; Joey, Carol and Andrea are deceased.
*** OTTO/Ottaviani Family; Joseph ( 1911 – 1966 ) and Mary Tomotchko ( 1916 – 1943 )
(John Joseph) "Jack"; About 1940; /Class of 19__ .
(Louis J.) "Jimmie"; (38) 18 Dec. 1943- 10 April, 1981 *** /Class of 1960/61
~~~ Jimmie's twin- Patricia Ann Ottaviani /Otto (1943-1943) and their mother Mary (27) (1916-1943) died in child birth.
*** (Joseph (died at 59) and Alby (died at 72) - (Albina Joan Opolinsky 1921 – 1993)
Cheech (Angela) Born; About 1948- /Class of 19__ .
Carol Ann (Otto) Dadisman; (1951- __ ) *** /Class of '68
Joseph T. "Joey"; (58) 1952- 2010 *** /Class of 1970
(Carl A.) "Tony"; 1958- /Class of 19__ .
Andrea; (49) 24 July, 1961- 22 March, 2011 *** /Class of (about) 1978
Louie did not USE his middle name, I imagine his parents decided on both girl and boy names before the birth but with the tragedy of the mother/Mary ( Mary Tomotchko 1916 – 1943 ) and girl child Patricia ( Patricia Ann Ottaviani/Otto1943 – 1943 ) BOTH dying at birth and baby boy Louis surviving .... in 1943, it is nearly unimaginable how one would cope with a loss like that. The names were recorded .... Louis James was called JIMMIE by his Family. Louie's dad/Joseph then had Jack and Jimmie and he remarried and had 5 more children. Louis James Otto was then called LOUIE by all of the Military Personel and he never mentioned his middle name again. (?)
Louie graduated from Redstone Township High School, PA in 1961 and entered the Service in Dec. 1961. In the USAF, Airman Third Class Louis Otto graduated from Shepperd AFB, the Technical Training for Aircraft Engine Mechanics and was assigned to Otis AFB Mass. ( Daily Courier, The | Connellsville, Pennsylvania | Wednesday, June 27, 1962 | Page 2; LOUIS OTTO )
Aircraft Mechanic Louis Otto served in Viet Nam, in Combat Service at Bien Hoa. Pacific US Air Forces Mechanics maintained the airplanes that flew Combat against the Viet Cong. ( Daily Courier, The | Connellsville, Pennsylvania | Wednesday, December 16, 1964 | Page 19 LOUIS OTTO )
Louie only ever told one story, that being of a surprise incoming fire-power attack where he with his best friend (and the Command Pilot) ran out on the tarmac to try to get their A1-E Skyraider out of the line of incoming fire but a mortar/missile bomb hit his friend and his plane and they were gone ...... Louie was an AP Mechanic, he only ever told me that single story. I knew that it was "his" plane.... STORY BELOW. . . Louie was with US Army Major Thomas Whitlock (KIA) ... the Pilot of the A1-E Skyraider (VNAF aircraft that Louis worked on) trying to get it off the ground when it was hit by an 81 mm shell and burned on the runway.
*** 1 Nov.1964 Surprise mortar attack on Bien Hoa Airbase took place about 12:26 a.m. on 1 Nov 1964. Those killed were Richard P Bubar, Thomas Joseph Hanley, Ronald Thomas O'Keefe, Harry Joseph Sickler and LTC Thomas Daniel Whitlock.
November 1, 1964; Two days before the U.S. presidential election, Vietcong mortars shell Bien Hoa Air Base near Saigon. Four Americans are killed, 76 wounded. Five B-57 bombers are destroyed, and 15 are damaged. Please see links AND the Story below.....
(If you are reading this and know even more to the story below, please email WWII Historical Researcher firstname.lastname@example.com Barbara Ennis (Otto) Connolly. Please also see the LINKS to the other men KIA and injured *under the Map* ... )
I met Louie in late '74 to early 1975 through mutual friends, my co-worker and best friend Sandy Knytych introduced me to her husband/Jim's best freind from the Phone Company.... Back in the 1970's, I believe it was "Mountain Bell". . . later Louie would take a position with Northern Telecom because they had the 1st Computer. . . I well remember his amazement and excitement because this large-freezer sized "Computer" managed (at first) TWO sets of conversations on a single-set line and then later, 64 on a single-set line!!! Ah! Those were the days of discovery ;~)
We were married in 1976 and built a home in Tempe, AZ and started our "Cabin in the Woods" (above Prescott, AZ) imm. after. . . a nearly every-weekend adventure, even through most of the winter SNOWS. There were tons of old mines to explore, "Fools Gold" to bring home and picnic's in the Park. Prescott was just over 100 miles North and Potato Patch was at almost 8000'. (In the Bradshaw Mountains of Central Arizona).
Louie died shortly after we were divorced in a tragic one car accident, a man with exemplary driving skills, (I believe he had his mind on the 1/2 work-day/Friday being over because he was going to sign papers on his new home). 10 April, 1981 ..... Louie drove straight into the back of a parked city bus and died instantly. This amazing and intelligent man was loved by many, including myself, Barbi Ennis (Otto) Connolly and "his" daughters Donna and Bambi. I nearly died the day HE did, we talked all the time. I love him as much today as the day we wed, as the day we divorced. . . he was the "life of the party", he was the most intelligent and FUN man and oddly, when not playing the clown, he was always thoughtful and thinking of others. The divorce was not a lack of love, LIFE just somehow got in the way...... We continued to communicate (Both by phone and meeting) nearly every day.....
He had the patience of a saint and could and DID spend countless hours teaching the girls to "build" something to keep them occupied while he and I built our "CABIN" in the woods, surrounded by Prescott National Forest and in a small community called "Potato Patch" at just under 8000' in the Bradshaw Mountains of Central Arizona..... "Thar's GOLD in them-thar' hills!". . . Lots of it if you are willing to work hard :) In fact, earlier in the Century, the level place (our PARK) was where the Gold Miners grew their staple; Potatoes!
In addition to teaching the girls to "hammer" things, he was a Math-Wiz, and being so patient, would spend hours again teaching them a math concept... or re-teaching that concept until they got IT ....AND the "A".... Well, Donna got the A+ ... Bambi got a B or C. What a guy! The Life of the Party, always fun and funny, thoughtful and his surprising year-round "April Fools" type-pranks had everyone laughing !!!! (and watching for the next one to happen ;)
To be SOooooooooo in LOVE. . . Before Ottaviani, it was way back from royalty (we used to laugh about that one!) and it was Y'Ottaviani (Kind-of like Yacht- ah-Ve-aH-neee) Louie was the most wonderul but damaged man I ever knew.... I loved him dearly..... He did not know how to love ...... which is a completely untrue statement... he loved with all his heart but did not know how to show it. He DID finish the cabin and then sold it to me. He wanted to "start over", and somehow just finishing the cabin helped him do that. The new home was the next step, he was the best driver I ever knew and never had as much as a fender bender and must have been lost in thought to drive straight into the back of a parked city bus. They said there were no more than a few feet of braking, he died instantly.
I alway think the Lord takes some sooner to save them from something worse later. . . . He was the life of the party and overwhelmingle shy too. "Loved and Missed" .......May the Lord keep him safe in His arms forever.

From the Garden's fifth floor:
John Tortorella:
On Stepan's line:
"It was a good line. … I thought Stepan's line played very well. But I want to watch the tape. I'm not a good enough coach to give you a really good judgment right after the game about individual players … Larry Brooks will let you know that, also."
On maturity if Gilroy and Del Zotto:
"I think Gilly has tried to be more aggressive … that's a point of contention with us, as far as just defending harder. He's trying. Michael I thought made some good plays tonight, stayed within himself. He's looking for the long pass and made some good stretch plays.
"Sauer, again I don't want to get ahead of myself because I want to watch tape, but I know Mike played within himself which he's done all camp, which is why he's still here."
On Anisimov:
"I wanted to see Artie play with Kennedy and Callahan tonight. I thought they were a really good line in Jersey. … You have to be careful, at least I have to be careful with Artie, and not skip a step here, and throwing him in between (Gaborik and Frolov) because last year I moved him up and it just seemed to be a little too much. I think he's playing with a ton of confidence right now and I don't want to screw him up by giving him too much. But it could happen. I tried it with Derek Stepan, and he handled himself well in that situation, and I think Artie will too. But I want to look at some other things with him and a couple other players."
On Stepan:
"He has an inner confidence about himself. I think he feels good about himself. I think he's gone through some situations in his (college) career, the World Championships, things like that, it's helped him grow as far as the mental maturity. I think that's helped him through our camp here. … He reacts very well to a lot of different situations. He's not flamboyant. I think he's very respectful of the game and handles himself nicely in these situations. So we'll see where it goes. I know I keep saying that, but we just want to see this through as we go through camp here with a couple more games."
On Prospal being able to play this weekend vs. Ottawa:
"I think he will be. The thing that's hurt Vinny is, we've skated hard in camp and that has reacted with his knee. He's felt great, but it's just hat we've done so much skating his knee hasn't been able to handle that. We're doing different things with it. I talked to him today after practice and we're hoping that — he feels good — that he'll be able to play.
"If he's healthy enough, I'd like to see him play both of them. If it reacts OK. And he wants to. He's so frustrated because he wants to play. He's not a guy who wants to sit out any exhibition games at all. He'll play them all if you want him to. I'd like to have him play both, just to get him some game situation that he can look at. And I want to try him at wing and at center, so it's going to take me a little time with those two games to give him those opportunities."
On Fedotenko:
"Feds flies under the radar (Tortorella then talked about how tough he'd been on Fedotenko over the years together). Even tonight, he made some really subtle plays that a lot of people won't see or recognize. But he's a solid guy offensively and defensively. He's a guy, as a coach, when you're looking down the bench in situations and you don't have a lot of people, or whatever the situation may be, you can put him in all those spots. He continues to fight for a position and we're still looking at him here, and he deserves the length he's been here in camp."
… more to come shortly, from some players.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/1/2013 (1693 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The province has given the green light for a private boat channel at Beaconia on Lake Winnipeg, almost two years after area residents complained it would destroy a lakeside marsh.
In a Dec. 28 letter to Dave Crabb and Candace Neufeld, Conservation Minister Gord Mackintosh said the channel, originally dug in the winter of 2010, will not degrade the rest of the marsh or other habitat.
"Indeed, there may be positive outcomes for habitat diversity," Mackintosh said in dismissing Crabb and Neufeld's appeal under the Environment Act to block the project.
Crabb said Monday he's offended by Mackintosh's action in that it appears to contradict what the province has promoted in protecting Lake Winnipeg and fragile wetlands.
"The way it's been handled is that we're just an annoyance," said Crabb. "Somehow we have scientists in this province who say there will be no damage. That's what I find most offensive."
Crabb said the excavation for the 600-metre-long channel wiped out trees, including osprey and eagle nests, and has forever altered the shoreline.
"What's really disturbing is how hypocritical this decision is," said Crabb.
Cottager Robert Rettie built the channel to better protect his two watercraft. He has a summer residence nearby.
Prior to beginning excavation work, Rettie received approval from the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which oversees projects on major lakes and waterways, and the Selkirk and District Planning Area Board.
But the Manitoba government halted the project after several area cottagers and the Eastern Beaches Conservation Coalition complained. It ordered a provincial environmental review take place before any work could continue. Cottagers like Crabb want the channel returned to its natural state.
In his letter, Mackintosh said the environmental review found no negative impacts to Lake Winnipeg are expected from the channel project.
"The Environment Act licence satisfactorily addressed erosion, sedimentation, revegetation, construction timing during sensitive periods for birds and wildlife, and the use and maintenance of the project," Mackintosh said.
Crabb said he, along with representatives from the Lake Winnipeg Foundation and Manitoba Wildlands, want to meet with Mackintosh to see the scientific background that supports his decision, in particular the information that says the channel could see "positive outcomes for habitat diversity."
A spokesman for Mackintosh said Monday the minister was not immediately available.
"I really feel the public has been snubbed by this process," Crabb said. "How do you explain to the public that you are trying to protect and increase the awareness of important wetlands and the health of Lake Winnipeg when they say it is OK to dig them up and destroy them?"
Mackintosh also said in his letter that because of the Beaconia project, the province has strengthened its protection of wetlands.
"While the beginning of this project pre-dated current policy, the Environment Act licence provides similar protection to the Beaconia Marsh from this directly adjacent project," Mackintosh said.
"Department staff will continue to monitor the project area to ensure that future activities comply with regulatory requirements."
Mackintosh's decision on the Beaconia boat channel comes as his department examines a bid by Sun Gro Horticulture to develop a peat mine farther north in Hecla/Grindstone Provincial Park.
Environmental groups, park cottagers and Manitoba's Liberal and Green party leaders have condemned the idea of a peat mine in the park.
Besides worries peat mining near Lake Winnipeg will exacerbate the water's nutrient problems, the Conservation department staff have expressed concerns the proposed project could create a fire risk and disturb important moose habitat.

I am trying to achieve this. When I click on a specific content I want to copy that content as well as open a new page with a specific URL.Similar to what you see on some coupon sites, but mostly its made using flash.
I do not want users to be able to copy that content but its revealed only once you click and are directed to the specific page.
Any ideas of how it could be done using jQuery?
When you provide the information to a public web browser, that information will by definition always be able to be copied.
If you don't want people to copy the content, then don't provide the content in the first place.
Sorry for not getting my query more clearer. The content would be copied but only when on click function happens. If you see the functionality in any coupon site when you click on say Show Coupon Code or Reveal Code - it will not only show the code but will also copy the content and will take you to a specific site on click. Hence, mostly people use flash for such functionality but I do not wish to use flash and was wondering if multiple actions can happen on a single click? In this case it would be When a user clicks a specific div - lets say .

Click to reveal code

Now on clicking this the following things would happena) the click here to revel code is replaced with the actual coupon code

COUPON100OFF

b) This code is also copied andc) the user is directed to a specific site - usually the site for which this code is meant.
Any help?
Yes, that all looks to be fairly straight forward. What in particular are you having trouble with?
Are you wanting us to tell you how to write the scripting code to achieve that? Normally we help people with what they are currently working on. If you want someone to write it for you, we have a marketplace for that.
Hi,No I do not want anyone to code the function for me.
The issue I am facing is multiple items are not working when there are say close to 20 such instances. Like a coupon site - there are a list of codes so for each I need to assign the jquery. I am unable to do it for multiple items using single code.
like if in jquery I mention on click content . text = ABC it does change. But like when I have 20 items I have to create 20 such queries which is not right according to me and should be managed in a simpler way.
Similarly, copy to clipboard / copy text I have not found any solution without use of flash and that directly copies the content.
Those were my issues. If there is any tutorial / resource that you can point towards, then it would help me accomplish my task.
Easiest to explain with an example.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<meta charset="utf-8">

COUPON100OFF

COUPON200OFF

COUPON300OFF

$('body').on('click', '.couponcode', function(event) {
$el = $(event.target)
alert("You clicked " + $el.text());
return false;
That function listens to all click events on the  and runs the click event handler if the clicked element matches the selector(has a class of couponcode).
Ways of handling that in a simpler way can depend on where the unique information is stored.
If for example the info is in the HTML content:

Show coupon code abc123

Show coupon code hunter7

you can have a single event at a common parent location, which can find out what was clicked on and then take action based on what was clicked
$('#codes').on('click', function (evt) {
var code;
$(evt.target).is('a')) {
code = $(evt.target).next();
// copy code to clipboard
// then navigate to site
If instead the information is stored or accessed by some type of id key, then a similar technique can be used for that as well.
Ok thank you very much for the basic path I need to follow.
Will work on the code and get back with my final version soon.

So I guess it goes without saying... as part of what we've dubbed Project #newsitepoint, we've reskinned the forums.
As with any big change, this will take some getting used to, but it's fair to say that I'm pretty excited about our clean new look.
Design is subjective and there will be people that don't like what we've done - that's cool, I respect that. As always, I welcome your feedback but please make it constructive.
If you find bugs or CSS issues, please let me know in this thread.
The report post button has reverted from the orange flag icon to the vBulletin default icon
It may just be my computer but when I click on the link for the list of unanswered threads (http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/search.php?do=process&type[]=1&contenttype=vBForum_Post&replyless=1&replylimit=0&exclude=0&nocache=0) I get a blank page (is also blank when doing view source on the resultant page)
You're right. That was broken before and appears to still be. Adding to my list.
I did not expect such a big change!
I personaly do not like the way the "What's new?" and "forum actions" are so far up the page; I use those two buttons a lot.The notifications my profile etc. are easier to reach and I never use them.
There seems a lot of wasted space around "The forums" in the header which moves everything else down the page. I thought it was just IE but it is the same in Firefox.
Took me a few seconds to realize that i was not in the wrong forum, the change is drastic. However, when you gets used to the new look, it is quite easy on the eyes.
Yes, if find that too. I sometimes found the bright colours of the previous design a little hard on the eyes. This design is much gentler, and it's easier to focus on the important content. Certainly a few styling bugs to iron out, but I'm really liking the new look.
Has someone forgotten to change the favicon?
That's been an issue for a while, and there was some problem in the system that wasn't letting it update.
Thanks for the feedback, guys.
Yes, we'll be tightening it up over the next few days, but to get the forum relaunched alongside the SitePoint.com relaunch (technically before) has actually surprised us. I thought it might take an extra day or two.
Have you seen the new site yet? (It's in the process of switching -- will depend which CDN you get right now)
I've just seen it now, and it's absolutely awesome! It really lifts SitePoint and the brand, IMHO. Well done, guys. As I said in a comment on the site, it makes it kind of feel like a cool place to be. (I didn't think I'd ever say that about a design, as I tend to be indifferent to that sort of thing.)
That's fantastic to hear, Ralph! It's been getting close to launch in the last few weeks, but that last bit of polish takes a long time. Great to finally have it out there.
Thank you!
I'll add that I love the way it's so easy to find what you are looking for on the site, and there's a nice use of space throughout. This is one of the best redesigns I've ever seen, I reckon.
Back to CSS Bugs, Off Topic isn't nearly as noticeable as it used to be (see below)
I wonder what edit looks like?
What about quotes?
Testing Testing, do you look any different from regular text? (Yes you do, but the text seems a bit small, any one else think that?)
I don't mind it smaller personally, but I'm open to tweaking it.
I tend to see the function of quoting as almost a 'citation of previous content', as much as an accurate reproduction.
Might just be me.
Yeah, it may be the italics that is throwing me off (or the fact that it is still early morning for me and my eyes might not be fully adjusted yet). I'll keep checking it throughout the day and may retract that one.
I agree that OT needs tweaking. I quite like the quote styling though. Let's revisit it.
Oooh shiny
I like the general feel! The architecture is better IMO!But I find it a bit too grayish... May be trying to inject in SP Blue to replace the darker gray shades? ...And then ... Orange buttons instead of the blue ones? On the website itself there's a splash of color that breaks the monotony of grays! This is not the case here on the forums! For both I am not a big fan of having a gray logo?Just saying! May be this is a temporary feel as I am missing the SP identity?!Also the silverware icons should have a transparent background instead of white!

FARMERS Gerald and Paul Jones have been found guilty of eight charges of causing unnecessary suffering to goats, and one charge of failing in their duty of care to livestock.
The prosecution of Gerald and Paul Jones of Pella Farm, Oxenhall, Newent, was brought by Gloucestershire County Council Trading Standards Service after they failed to follow veterinary advice from the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency, from Trading Standards officers and from their own private veterinary surgeons, relating to the appropriate treatment for foot rot.
On Thursday, Cheltenham Magistrates' Court heard that, during a visit on the 10th December 2012, numerous goats were seen to be lame. The majority of the lame goats had their feet bandaged.
Officers were told that the feet were first cleaned with Viradine, a corrosive disinfectant, and then a bandage type material was applied that had been soaked in a zinc sulphate substance, normally used in foot baths. The foot was then taped up with silage tape, an impermeable plastic tape. This allowed the bacteria that causes foot rot to thrive and when the tape and bandage was removed most of the hoof had disintegrated.
During the inspection of the lame goats one goat was put down immediately on welfare grounds and 32 others were identified for culling that day.
Advice had been provided over a number of years regarding the correct treatment for the foot rot problem within their herd. This had been followed for a short time, but then the Jones's reverted to using their own method.
Gerald Jones told the officer that one of the goats had lost the bottom of its foot as a result of him using the bandaging, but thought this had happened because he had put the bandage too far up the leg and left it on too long.
On a separate visit on the 22nd March 2013 one goat, which was initially thought to be dead lying amongst milking goats, was still alive and found to be suffering from severe and chronic mastitis.
The goat had not been isolated or given any treatment, and arrangements were made to have it put down. Gerald and Paul Jones advised the court that they no longer keep goats.
They will be sentenced on 3rd March at Stroud Magistrates' Court.
Eddie Coventry, Head of Trading Standards, said: "When it comes to the welfare of their livestock, farmers should take the advice given to them from professional vets, be it a private vet or a Defra veterinary officer, in order to prevent unnecessary suffering. "Farmers owe a duty of care to their livestock and the county council will not hesitate to take enforcement action where there has been a neglect of this duty."
Cabinet member with responsibility for Trading Standards, Cllr Will Windsor-Clive, said: "This is a very upsetting case of farmers allowing their animals to suffer because they haven't followed the advice given to them. I'm glad this thorough investigation has ended in a successful prosecution."
