This invention relates generally to optical and electrical switching devices and to novel polymers containing pendant organic charge transfer salts. These polymers are useful as erasable and/or permanent optical storage media in the fabrication of threshold or memory electrical, optical or optoelectronic switches.
In the field of optical and electrical switching, the prior art recognized the use of organic thin films as switching media. Impedance changes which accompany this switching are known to be associated with molecular motion due to Joule heating which results in either crystallization phase transitions, metal filament formation, or elimination of compositional disorder. Switching has also been related to electrical breakdown of the organic thin film due to weak spots in the switching material.
Switching by means of electrochemical changes in the switching media has also been disclosed. By way of illustration, switching due to electrochemical changes in a charge transfer salt, e.g., a metal complexed with tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), tetracyanonaphthoquinodimethane (TNAP), tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), dichlorodicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ), or TCNQ derivatives is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,574,336; 4,507,672; and 4,371,883, the disclosures of each of these three patents being incorporated herein by reference. The TCNQ and TCNQ derivative materials employed for switching in these three patents are disclosed therein as providing good nanosecond time interval switching. However, it has more recently been found that TCNQ or derivative localized migration or diffusion tends to occur in the region of current flow or laser beam contact upon repeated switching, thereby diminishing the useful lifespan of these devices.
At least one attempt has been made to minimize this migration or diffusion problem. Specifically, Hoshino et al, "Reversibly Write-Erase Properties of CuTCNQ Optical Recording Media", Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, Part 2, 25 (4), L341 (1986), discloses achieving about 50 write-erase cycles by applying a zinc sulfide protective layer over a CuTCNQ film prior to initiating the write-erase cycles using a semiconductor laser. This number of cycles is expected to be insufficient for most practical applications.
The rapidly evolving technology of optical data storage has the potential to retain unprecedented amounts of information at high density using optically focused beams. In a commercial setting, it would be highly desirable to provide switching media characterized by excellent physical properties and the ability to provide repeated cycles while lending itself to economical fabrication techniques. A typical application would be for random access memory storage devices. Organic materials such as TCNQ have the potential for providing these characteristics if the above-discussed migration or diffusion problem is obviated. Accordingly, the solution to this migration or diffusion problem would be highly desirable.
In one aspect, the present invention relates to a novel polymer containing pendant organic charge transfer salt moieties. This polymer has a switching capability in response to optical radiation or electrical current. This switching capability is provided by the charge transfer salt moieties characteristic of possessing a first charge state having a relatively high electrical impedance and a second charge state having a relatively lower electrical impedance. The polymer preferably has the following empirical structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R1 =H or CH3,
R2 and R3 are the same or different organic radical or substituted organic radical linking groups having up to 6 carbon atoms, and
Z= ##STR2## and wherein A is selected from the group consisting of TCNQ and derivatives thereof, tetracyanonaphthoquinodimethane (TNAP) or derivatives thereof, and tetracyanoanthraquinodimethane (TCNA) or derivatives thereof.
In a more preferred aspect
A= ##STR3## wherein R4, R5, and R6 are the same or different groups preferably selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, bromine, iodine, chlorine, fluorine, alkyl, and alkoxy groups having up to 6 carbon atoms, and the like. Illustrative of suitable such groups are --OEt, --Cl, --Me, --H, --CN, --Br, -isopropyl, and isopropoxy.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to a switching device, responsive to an electrical field, comprising:
(a) a polymer containing an organic charge transfer salt wherein the salt comprises a polymer-bound organic electron acceptor and an electrostatically-bound electron donor, and
(b) a source of the electrical field.
The polymer composition of the present invention is characterized by stability against diffusion or migration of the charge transfer groups out of the polymer during switching of these charge transfer groups from a relatively lower impedance state to a relatively higher impedance state and vice versa in response to an electrical field produced by optical radiation or current flow through localized portions of the polymer composition. This stability insures that the polymer will retain its switching capability after repeated switching cycles without encountering the rapidly diminished effectiveness experienced by organic charge transfer salts of the prior art.
Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the efficacy of the compositions of the present invention in preventing diffusion or migration of the organic charge transfer groups contained therein out of the polymer is believed by the present inventors to be attributable to the binding influence of the polymer on the charge transfer groups in the composition. Moreover, in the preferred compositions of the invention containing pendantly-bound charge transfer groups, the efficacy of the polymer-bound charge transfer groups in providing both threshold and memory switching capability is believed by the inventor to be attributable, at least in part, to the structural alignment and accessability associated with the pendant binding of the charge transfer groups. In regard to structural alignment, the pendantly-bound charge transfer groups are believed by the present inventors to promote cofacial stacking of the TCNQ molecules, thereby enhancing the desired switching properties of the polymer. Such a stacking array is known to be useful for providing good conduction in electroconductive devices as generally discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,170, incorporated herein by reference.
The organic charge transfer moieties useful in preparing the compositions employed in the switching device of the present invention generally have one or two functional groups suitable as a polymer-bonding site. Two functional groups per molecule are utilized if it is desired to incorporate the charge transfer moiety into the polymer backbone, whereas one functional group is frequently used to provide a site for pendant attachment in the polymer. However, as in the case of step-growth polymerization described below, two functional groups per molecule may be employed to provide a polymer with pendant charge transfer groups. The functional group is suitably --OH, --COOCH3, --COOCH2 CH3, --COCl, or the like, other illustrative examples being given hereinbelow. Useful charge transfer groups include the silver, copper, and cerium salts of TCNE, TCNQ, DDQ, TNAP, and derivatives of TCNQ, and the like. The latter are suitably derivatized to contain a functional group(s) so that they may be covalently attached or ionically bonded or strongly adsorbed in the polymer. Preferred charge transfer groups are: 2-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)-5-bromo-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane, 3-TCNQ-propanoic acid, and 3-TCNQ propanoyl chloride, or esters of these compounds.
The preferred polymers containing pendant organic charge transfer moieties can be prepared by one of two major pathways: (a) polymerization of a preformed pendant TCNQ monomer or (b) attachment of a monofunctional reactive TCNQ derivative to an already preformed polymer molecule. Because of the well-known tendency of TCNQ to stabilize radicals and anions, free radical and anionic polymerizations involving TCNQ monomers would probably not result in the desired products. Likewise, cationic polymerization would be expected to yield products other than the desired polymers unless extreme care was used in selecting monomers whose vinyl groups would not be oxidized on exposure to TCNQ units. Therefore, this method of forming TCNQ polymers is not preferred, although it can be utilized. Step growth polymerizations of appropriate monomers is an alternate approach to forming polymers of the type described herein. Examples of suitable monomers for cationic and step growth polymerizations are given below.
The structures illustrated below are merely representative of the types of compounds that could be used:
Step Growth polymerizations: ##STR4##
For subsequent pendant attachment to preformed polymers, a TCNQ derivative with one reactive functional group and a polymer with pendant functionality reactive functional group on the TCNQ derivative is required. The structures of possible polymers are represented below:
(a) Polymers with a pendant functional group: ##STR5## where X is typically: ##STR6## and where R1 and R2 are organic radicals as defined above.
(b) TCNQ derivative with functional group: ##STR7## where R3, R4, and R5 can be any of a variety of substituents as defined earlier herein; and Y is typically: ##STR8##
The resulting polymer structures from reaction of (a) with (b) are given schematically below, ##STR9## wherein Z is typically: ##STR10## and wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are each defined hereinabove.
As stated above, the organic charge transfer groups are preferably pendantly bonded to the polymer in the compositions of the present invention, although backbone bonding of the organic charge transfer groups is also expected to provide polymers useful in the switching devices of the present invention. Polymers with backbone-bound change transfer groups are suitably prepared by known procedures (see, for example, "Synthesis of Aliphatic Polyesters Containing Tetracyanoquinodimethane Units by Low-Temperature Polycondensation Reactions", R. W. Day et al, Journal of Polymer Science: Part A: Polymer Chemistry, Vol. 24, 645-654 (1986). Bonding of the pendant groups in the polymer can be in the form of ionic bonding, covalent bonding, or merely strong adsorptive forces. Although all of these forms can be used, the TCNQ migration or diffusion problem is minimized by providing a strong attachment of the organic charge transfer groups to the polymer and, for this reason, covalent bonding is most preferred, with ionic bonding being next preferred as discussed in more detail in U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,170 (referred to above) at Column 3 thereof.
Typically, bonding of the TCNQ or derivative to the polymer is effected prior to forming the metal (silver, copper, or cerium) salt thereof. A preferred method of salt formation is to first react the TCNQ polymer with lithium iodide to form the lithium salt, and then displace the lithium with the desired silver, copper, or cerium ion. This displacement method is disclosed in Melby et al, J.A.C.S., Vol. 84, p. 3374 (1962). Other well-known methods can alternately be used, such as direct reaction with metal salts such as iodides or reaction with metal itself.
The base polymer used to bind pendant organic charge transfer groups in the polymer composition of the invention can be any of a wide variety of polymers. The polymer containing the organic charge transfer group, whether this latter moiety is pendant-bound or backbone-bound, should have a melting point above the operating temperature employed in using the composition (e.g., during erasure of a switched state), preferably a melting point of at least 220° C. Although the molecular weight of these various polymers can vary over a wide range, the polymers containing pendant-bound organic charge transfer groups can have molecular weights as high as 500,000 to 3,000,000, whereas those polymers prepared by the step-growth polymerization and those with backbone-bound organic charge transfer groups can have molecular weights as low as 3,000 to 40,000. Many of these polymers are expected to be soluble in organic solvents such as DMF, DMSO, and THF, thereby facilitating easy spin coating of the polymer in solvent onto a substrate. The polymer generally does not contain any moiety reactive with the charge transfer group since any such reactivity is expected to diminish the overall efficacy of the charge transfer groups present in the composition. For example, amine-containing polymers are not desired when the charge transfer group is TCNQ since amines tend to react with TCNQ.
Typically, in the production of a switching device, the compositions of the present invention are applied to a substrate (e.g., plastic, ceramic, glass, or metal) by a known technique such as spin coating of the polymer on the substrate. For purely optical switching, a non-metallic substrate is preferred to minimize heat dissipation during switching erasure, whereas for electrical or optoelectronic switching, a metal substrate is normally required. This spin coating method is cheap, easy to use and provides uniform polymer coatings having excellent physical and mechanical properties. In contrast, the prior art TCNQ salt materials do not lend themselves to this spin coating method and instead typically are applied by a vacuum co-deposition or a solution dipping method. The solution dipping method tends to produce large crystals of TCNQ salt in non-uniform films on the substrate selected. Such non-uniform films are not desired since they tend to provide (a) low signal to noise ratios during use, (b) kpoor reproducibility of electrical response, and (c) pinhole formation which will short-out electrical devices. The vacuum co-deposition method employed in fabricating the prior art compositions is multi-step and requires the use of expensive vacuum equipment. In contrast, the compositions of the present invention when spin coated give high quality films of the desired thickness which are homogeneous and pinhole free.
In use as a switching device, the compositions of the present invention will generally be applied to a substrate in a film having a film thickness of between about 100 angstroms and about 100 microns, preferably between about 100 angstroms and about 10 microns, more preferably between about 5 and about 10 microns. Below about 100 angstroms the film thickness is expected to be insufficient to provide an adequate signal-to-noise ratio. Above about 100 microns, there is a risk of not obtaining switching completely through the film in response to an applied electrical field, thereby resulting in poorer optical contrast between switched and non-switched areas of the film.
In fabricating the switching device, the organic charge transfer salt is deposited on a supporting base material. As mentioned previously, good results are obtained with a polymeric organic charge transfer salt film thickness of 5 to 10 microns. An optional transparent protective coating may be deposited on the surface of the organic charge transfer salt film. An optical write beam is focused to a specific location on the surface of the organic charge transfer film The optical beam can be a high intensity light source or a laser source such as an argon or CO2 laser focused to generate a field on the film surface. The intensity of the beam will cause the following result: (1) if the beam intensity is below the first threshold value, the polymeric organic charge transfer salt will stay in the first state; (2) if the beam intensity is increased above the first threshold, it will switch to the second state, but will switch back to the first state when the optical beam is removed; (3) if the beam intensity and/or duration is increased further, the organic charge transfer salt will switch to the second state for an indefinite period of time (so-called "memory switching"); and (4) if the optical beam width, intensity and/or duration is increased still further, a visible color change will appear. The optical intensity necessary to produce the above changes depends on the choice of the organic charge transfer salt, film thickness, and the area and intensity of the incident optical beam.
For a memory system, an optical beam with sufficient intensity can be directed by well-known optical means to other locations on the surface of the polymeric organic charge transfer salt, and can switch such other locations from the first to second state. By turning the beam "on" or "off" at a specific location a "1" or a "0" logical state can be set in the optical storage media. Alternatively, if a higher optical intensity or longer duration is used, the optical beam can be directed by well-known optical means to "draw" a visible pattern on the organic charge transfer salt.
Once data has been stored on the organic charge transfer salt storage media, a spectroscopic means can be used to determine if a particular location on the organic film is in its first or second state. Typically, a light source or a reading optical beam is directed to illuminate one of the locations with an intensity well below the first intensity threshold so that the state at the location is not disturbed. Reflected light from the selected location on the film surface is collected and filtered by the optical filter and then passed to a means for measuring the spectral intensity. The optical filter will only pass the desired spectral band. The spectral measurement means would indicate if the reflected beam that passed through the filter had a high or low amplitude. This in turn would indicate if the location was in the first or second state. The reading optical beam can be directed by well-known optical means to each of a plurality of locations on the surface of the polymeric organic charge transfer salt to determine if that particular location is in the first or second state, that is to say, if that particular location is storing a logical "1" or a logical "0".
In an alternative embodiment, the optical write beam, optical read beam, and the optical heating beam, can be generated by a single laser source by varying the intensity and duration of the illuminating beam. It is within the contemplation of the inventors that other well-known means can be used to generate the desired optical write, read, and erase beams and to direct such beams to the desired location on the organic charge transfer salt surface.
A useful optoelectronic switch of the present invention uses a polymeric organic charge transfer salt as the switching mechanism. The optoelectronic switch preferably comprises: a thin film of organic charge transfer salt deposited on a conductive substrate, a semitransparent conducting film formed over at least a portion of the organic film; a first electrode attached to said conductive substrate; and a second electrode attached to said semitransparent conducting film. As previously mentioned, the organic charge transfer salt film thickness is preferably approximately 5 to 10 microns. The semitransparent conducting film can be made from metal such as aluminum or chromium and can be evaporated or sputtered directly on the organic film to a thickness that permits partial transmission of the optical radiation.
In operation, when the optical beam exceeds the first threshold, as defined previously, the surface area illuminated by the beam will switch to the second state and the electrical impedance as measured across the two electrodes will jump from a high impedance to a low impedance. When the beam is removed or when the intensity drops below the first threshold value, the illuminated area will return to the first state (e.g., threshold switching). However, if the intensity and/or duration of the optical beam is increased, the optoelectronic switch will be switched into the second state for an indefinite period of time (i.e., bistable or memory switching). The period the switch will stay in a second state of the low impedance state depends on: (1) the choice of the organic charge transfer salt; (2) the thickness of the film; (3) the duration and intensity of the illuminating optical beam; (4) the area of the illuminating beam; and (5) the ambient or applied thermal energy. The bistable switch as described above can be returned to the first state by the application of heat energy by methods or their equivalents, as discussed below.
Several specific features of the optoelectronic switching mechanism need to be pointed out. First, the optical beam's intensity must exceed the first threshold, as defined previously, before the device switches. In this manner, an analog optical signal can be converted into a discrete digital electrical signal. Secondly, the DC biasing voltage can be used to adjust the beam intensity necessary to switch the organic charge transfer salt. As noted previously, the organic charge transfer salt will switch from the first to second states due to either an applied electric field, or an applied optical field. Therefore, by applying DC biasing voltage, the required optical intensity can be reduced. The applied DC voltage and optical beam add to generate the electrical field which causes the organic charge transfer salt to switch from the first to the second states. It is also possible in this manner to switch a bistable optoelectronic switch back to the first state by independently reducing the biasing voltage. It is within the contemplation of the inventor that both the optical beam and the DC voltage can be used in various combinations to switch the optical charge transfer salt.
The compositions of the present invention provide a capability for high-speed threshold and memory switching by changing resistance states in response to an applied electrical field. Erasure of memory states is carried out by heating to a temperature between about 120° C. and 180° C., preferably between about 140° C. and 170° C. Heating to these temperatures can be carried out by a variety of means. Preferably, a laser beam adjusted to a power below the threshold for switching is used to heat the material to effect erasure.
When using the compositions of the present invention to provide optical or optoelectronic switching, the means of providing the applied electrical field is preferably a semiconductor diode laser, desirably a gallium/aluminum/arsenide laser, although other lasers can be used if desired such as, for example, helium neon, helium cadmium, CO2, neodinium YAG, or any continuous or pulsed laser with sufficient power. Continuous wave lasers are most preferred since they have an easily-adjustable contact time.
When using the compositions of the present invention to provide electrical or electronic switching, the applied electrical field is preferably in the form of an applied electric potential using a pair of electrodes. In addition, optoelectronic switching is suitably employed by means of an applied electric potential in combination with a transparent electrode to allow laser switching of the device.
The compositions of the present invention are expected to meet applicable switching design requirements by providing threshold or memory switching within a nanosecond to microsecond time frame.
While several features of the present invention relate to optoelectronic switches and optical and electrical memory devices, it is to be understood that the above-mentioned optical or electrical switching function of the organic charge transfer salts can have application in other optical and electrical devices and optically sensitive apparatus.
The following examples are intended to illustrate, but in no way limit, the scope of the present invention.
This reaction was conducted in a glove box. The concentration of water vapor in the system was less than 10 ppm. All glassware was previously dried and all solvents and reactants were rigorously dried.
2-(2'-Hydroxyethoxy)-5-bromo-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (prepared according to the procedure of Hertlet, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 41 (8), p. 1412 (1976)), in an amount of 0.3505 grams, was dissolved in 6 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide in a 50 ml beaker. This solution was then transferred to a 25×200 mm test tube containing a small Teflon coated magnetic stirrer. Two ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide was used to rinse 50 ml beaker and an additional 2 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide was used to rinse down the sides of the test tube. (Thus, total of 10 ml of N,N-dimethylacetamide was used.) The test tube was then fitted with a rubber septum and drying tube.
The resulting solution was then frozen by placing the test tube into one rubber glove in the glove box and immersing the glove outside of the glove box in a mixture of dry ice and acetone. The test tube was maintained in the mixture until the solution solidified.
Poly(acryloyl chloride) (25 percent solids in dioxane, Polyscience), in an amount of 0.3240 grams, was weighed out in a vial and added to the test tube containing the frozen mixture of N,N-dimethylacetamide and the hydroxy TCNQ derivative. Dioxane, in an amount of 3 ml, was then used to rinse the vial and the sides of the test tube. The tube was refitted with the septum and the drying tube.
The test tube was quickly removed from the glove box and placed in a temperature controlled cooling bath at 0° C., with constant stirring for 137 hours.
At the end of the 137 hours, the contents of the test tube were poured into a beaker containing 250 ml of methanol. The mixture was stirred for one hour. The solution was then filtered through a fine glass fritted filter. A reddish-brown solid was recovered which was washed three times with 100 ml aliquots of fresh methanol. The reddish-brown solid was removed from the funnel and placed into a vacuum desiccator to remove any residual methanol. The solid was identified by conventional analytical techniques to be the pendant TCNQ polymer in an amount of 0.155 grams.
Approximately 10 mg of the pendant TCNQ-containing polymer prepared in EXAMPLE 1 was dissolved in 0.5 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide.
The silver salt of this polymer was then formed. The preparation of the silver salt of this polymer was accomplished as follows:
A film 5-10 cm thick was poured from the above solution onto a clean silver substrate. Heat was applied to about 120° C. to expedite salt formation and to remove any residual N,N-dimethylformamide. This green film was then exposed to a beam from a helium-cadmium laser operating at 12 milliwatts focused through a 40X microscope objective. An orange line was drawn onto the green film by this beam which changed back to a green color upon heating the film in an oven at 165° C. for 10 minutes.
Another sample of silver salt was prepared by the following alternate and preferred method using the same polymer:
Approximately 10 mg of the pendant TCNQ-containing polymer prepared in EXAMPLE 1 was dissolved in 15 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide.
A film was made by dropping the above solution onto a glass substrate. The solvent was removed by evaporation in a vacuum desiccator.
The silver salt of this polymeric film was then prepared by dipping the film into a solution of acetonitrile saturated with lithium iodide. The film turned green immediately. The film was then removed and rinsed with fresh acetonitrile. The film was then heated to 120° C. and maintained at that temperature for three minutes. This heating step was found to enhance the overall thermal stability of the finished material.
After heating, the film was then immersed into a solution of acetonitrile saturated with silver nitrate. The film immediately turned a darker green color. The film was then rinsed with fresh solvent. Any residual solvent was removed from the film when it was placed in a vacuum desiccator.
The above green film was then exposed to a beam from a helium-cadmium laser operating at 12 milliwatts focused through a 40X microscope objective. An orange line was drawn onto the green film by this beam which changed back to a green color upon heating the film in an oven at 165° C. for 10 minutes.
The above results demonstrate the excellent memory writing and thermal erasure properties of this polymeric pendant TCNQ material.
An electrically-induced switching device was fabricated using the pendant TCNQ-containing polymer prepared in EXAMPLE 1. A film of the silver salt of the pendant TCNQ polymer was formed on a clean silver substrate in accordance with the procedure given in EXAMPLE 2. This was then heated to improve salt formation and to remove any residual solvent. The film was also placed in a vacuum desiccator to remove any final traces of the solvent. The top surface of the film was masked so that only a 1/8 inch diameter circle was left exposed. The film was then placed into a vacuum chamber and an aluminum top electrode was evaporated onto the exposed area of the pendant TCNQ polymer film. A copper wire was soldered to the bottom of the silver substrate and a copper wire was attached to the top electrode using conducting silver paste. When an electric field of about 2 volts was applied between the two electrodes (which exceeded the threshold), the device switched from a high impedance state to a low impedance state, as evidenced by the slope of the current-potential curve for this material.
3-TCNQ-propanic acid, 82.9 mg, (prepared according to Baghdadchi and Panetta, Journal of Organic Chemistry, 48, 3852 (1983)) was added to 20 ml of thionyl chloride and stirred to dissolve. The solution was then heated to reflux and refluxed overnight. The thionyl chloride was removed by distilling under reduced pressure. An orange solid remained as a residue. Infrared spectroscopy confirmed the identity of the product.
Polyvinylalcohol, 0.1015 g, (Air Products Vinol 523) and 5 ml of N-methyl pyrrolidone (freshly fractionally distilled, Aldrich) were placed in a test tube sealed with a septum to which a drying tube had been added. A stirring bar was added, and the mixture was heated gently and stirred until dissolution of the polyvinyl alcohol was complete. 3-TCNQ-propanoyl chloride, 0.017 g, (prepared as outlined in EXAMPLE 3), was added after the polyvinyl alcohol-N-methyl pyrrolidone solution had been cooled to ice temperatures. The reaction mixture was stirred in an ice bath for approximately 48 hours and then stirred at room temperature for another 48 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into approximately 80 ml of acetonitrile and a solid precipitated. The pale green colored solid was collected by filtration and washed with acetonitrile repeatedly. The solid was then dried in a vacuum desiccator. The dried produce weighed 0.0843 g. UV-Visible spectroscopy indicated the presence of TCNQ units.

Metered Market Wednesday Ratings
CBS Wins; ABC or Fox the Network to Beat Among Adults 18-49
Wednesday 9/26/12
Metered Market Results
Fox 7.0/11
-Percent Change from the Year-Ago Opening Season Wednesday (on 9/21/11):
NBC: – 4, CBS: -10, Fox: -20, ABC: -21, CW: -50
Survivor: Philippines (CBS), The X Factor (Fox), The Middle (ABC), Modern Family (ABC), Criminal Minds (CBS), CSI (CBS)
-Respectable Sampling:
The Neighbors (ABC)
-Losers (excluding repeats):
Animal Practice (NBC), Guys With Kids (NBC), Oh Sit! (CW), Revenge: The First Chapter (ABC)
Ratings Breakdown:
CBS inched past Fox by one-tenth of a rating point in the overnights on this first Wednesday of the new TV season. But the dominant network among adults 18-49 will likely be a race between ABC and Fox.
Survivor: Philippines on CBS is alive and well, with a dominant 6.9 rating/11 share in the overnights at 8 p.m., which was right on par with the South Pacific edition one year earlier (which trailed competing The X Factor on Fox). Next on the Eye net was the eighth season-premiere of Criminal Minds at a second-place 7.7/12 at 9 p.m. (down 13 percent from the year-ago season-opener on 9/21/11 – 8.9/14), followed by episode one of the 13th season of CSI at an also first-place 6.9/11 at 10 p.m. One year earlier, CSI kicked-off with an 8.1/14, which puts this season starter at a 15 percent disadvantage. Regardless, accolades to CBS for an evening of all "winners."
The X Factor on Fox, meanwhile, was on the map with a 7.0/11 in the overnights from 8-10 p.m., peaking at 9:30 p.m. with a 7.4/12. But compared to the year-ago evening (8.0/13 on 9/28/11), this was down by 12 percent.
Over at ABC, the one-hour fourth season-premiere of underrated comedy The Middle is also worthy of positive mention with a solid third-place 6.2/10 in the overnights from 8-9 p.m. Comparably, that was just seven percent below its also expanded year-ago season-opener (6.7/11 on 9/21/11). Next on the alphabet net was the fourth season-debut of multiple Emmy Award winner Modern Family at a first-place 10.2/16 at 9 p.m. And that, year-to-year, was up by four percent (versus a 9.8/15 for a one-hour edition on 9/21/11).
In series-premiere news was bizarre comedy The Neighbors at a third-place 6.5/10 at 9:30 p.m. (and retention out of Modern Family of 64 percent). Comparably, The Neighbors built by 25 percent from the season-premiere of year-ago time period occupant Happy Endings (5.2/ 8 on 9/28/11). Next Wednesday, The Neighbors debuts in the 8:30 p.m. time period out of The Middle.
At 10 p.m. on ABC was a Revenge clips special themed The First Chapter at a third-place 4.1/ 7 at 10 p.m. The second season of Revenge opens this Sunday at 9 p.m. (out of the season-premiere of Once Upon a Time and into the series debut of 666 Park Avenue).
On NBC, sitcom Animal Practice opened at 8 p.m. with a lackluster 3.9/ 6, which finished a distant fourth and trailed the time period debut of year-ago occupant Up All Night (4.7/ 8 on 9/21/11) by 17 percent. Next was the time period debut of Guys With Kids at a fourth-place 3.6/ 6 at 8:30 p.m. And that, comparably, was only nine percent above failed year-go occupant Free Agents (3.3/ 5 on 9/21/11). Consider this is a disappointing start for the NBC comedies in the Wednesday 8 p.m. hour.
Next on the Peacock net was the two-hour 14th season-premiere of Law & Order: SVU at a respectable 5.4/ 9 in the overnights from 9-11 p.m., which was right on par with the combination of Harry's Law (5.5/ 8) and SVU (5.5/ 9) on opening Wednesday one year earlier (on 9/21/11).
The CW capped off the evening with just renewed game show Oh Sit! (#5: 0.7/ 1), which concludes for the season next week, and an encore telecast of Supernatural (#5: 0.6/ 1). Supernatural opens its new season next week.

Discussion in 'Vaginarium' started by Sparky511, May 24, 2004.
Anything anyone wants to for-warn me about?
I want to get mine done too actually. I think it would be dead sexy.
Well I was thinking of doing it, and instead of rings, I want to get barbells going horizontally.
do it!!!!!
just be careful with bumping them on stuff, or getting them caught in things..
No shit right. I am already invisioning getting hung up on my bra.
just be careful.. after the first 2 snags you'll get the hang of not doing it.
Tell Babytiger .. she's been wanting to get hers done also .. group piercing
I got mine done about 3 weeks ago. I'd recommend it for everyone...sensitivity has increased at least 5x so far
Was it as bad as people say it is? I figure it can't be that bad, my s/o damn near bit mine off one time and that didnt hurt until later.
it didn't hurt as bad as my cartilage or my septum.... it hurt the next day when they swelled a little... but very very minor.. if you can tolerate a needling inthe arm or ear you'll be fine.
pre and post pics?
....sorry just had to....
the good thing about barbells is they can't stick out. i've seen where people get CBRs and the ring stands out for a little while.
i say why not? pain is temporary...
it didnt hurt at all when I did mine. very little pain during the actual piercing and the only time it hurt was when I bumped it.
Welp, if all goes well I plan on doing it on Friday.
I've got both my nipples pierced and I love it. I agree, having barbells is better than rings. You don't have to worry as much about getting them caught or pulled on something and I think they look a lot better too. It doesn't hurt that much, just like getting pinched real hard. And I was not sore at all afterwards. I actually thought it hurt worse than when I get my frenum done. Good luck
I love mine too. The only set back was the ride home just after I had them done...it hurt a bit...but it's worth it. Good luck and have fun with them!
I have both mine done
They hurt more than my PA, I think.
I got mine done awhile back. Worst pain from a pierceing i've ever had.
In a close second, my orbital.
Getting in snagged does suck, but when the ring brushes your shirt ever so slightly, you'll get this great rush. =)
I want to get mine done, but I want mine through the areola, or not the actual nipple, but behind them.
kinda like a surface piercing I guess
is that a safe way to do it? I've seen a guy with them before and I wanna get barbells like that.
The other thing is, I'm starting to work out, will losing weight (not a lot) and then gaining muscle effect them?
i got mine both time 2 times (vert and horz) and i loved it. no pain for me (guy) and damn was it fun to have. id sit in class rubbing them cause it felt soooo good
hey I was thinking of getting mine done, one of the main reasons is to kinda hide the puffy nipples I have. Would this possible keep them erect like all the time? Because this problem annoys the shit out of me, especially when I'm at the beach
yes mine were always hard.
my left 1 is always hard. It sucks when I wear a tight shirt....I always have to put a band-aid over it.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Vel'Koz with this build
|Easy to push to tower, easy to kite, higher burst, longer range, no CC.
Hello, I am Rudolph and welcome to my guide! I reached diamond last season and promptly reached diamond again this season, playing Vel'Koz quite a bit. The Eye of the Void is a really interesting and extremely powerful champion. He excels at poke and can deal massive amounts of damage, turning the tide of the battle if managing to land all of his abilities. Important to remember that this isn't necessarily how you have to play Vel'Koz, but this is how I play him and have found much success.
This guide has been updated to contain both a mid lane build as well as a support build.
As always, in this guide I will cover as much as I can, but if I miss something or if you would like to see something added just let me know. I will move on to the guide now, but remember; any form of criticism is welcome and encouraged. I hope you find it helpful!
Pros / Cons
+ Organic Deconstruction rewards players for landing abilities in succession.
+ Has really strong poking ability.
+ Has a fairly strong farming ability with Void Rift and Tectonic Disruption.
+ Scales well into late game.
+ High potential burst with Organic Deconstruction.
+ Decent AP ratios on all abilities.
+ Can kite fairly well if abilities are landed.
+ Life Form Disintegration Ray, enough said.
- Fairly immobile.
- Vulnerable to gap closers.
- Long cooldowns.
- Life Form Disintegration Ray is a channelled ability, which means it can be interrupted.
- Lacks hard CC, excluding his Tectonic Disruption
- All of Vel'Koz's abilities are skill shots, making passive more difficult to activate.
- Is a high priority target, and will likely get focussed down quickly.

Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration is by far the most important mark you could use on Vel'Koz. With 9 of them, it gives you a total of +7.8 flat magic penetration. This increases your early game damage by a good amount and it carries over into late game.
Greater Seal of Armor is a strong option. Vel'Koz is already extremely fragile, and these allow you to take a few more hits while in lane, increasing survivability. Also helps a lot against AD mid champions such as Yasuo or Jayce. These have more of an impact than the mana regen seals in the late game.
Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration is a viable option for aggressive play. Between these runes and an early Chalice of Harmony, you shouldn't have any mana troubles at all. Vel'Koz is already slightly mana starved, so I feel these have a decent impact and help you in the early levels of the game. The one problem I have with these is that I don't feel they have much impact late game.
Greater Seal of Scaling Health are the strongest seals for late game. They give +216 hitpoints at level 18, which is a fair bit more health than a free Ruby Crystal. This can come in handy on Vel'Koz because of how fragile he is. Though against AD I feel like armor seals would be ideal, these runes would be more effective against mixed damage.
Greater Seal of Magic Resist is a possible choice if you don't feel comfortable starting without MR. However I don't recommend it as much, because getting an early Chalice of Harmony gives a good amount of MR already.IIII
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power is what I recommend because Vel'Koz is a champ that is based off of Ability Power. While the flat AP glyphs might seem better at first glance, these scaling ability power runes start to outclass the others at level 7.
Greater Glyph of Ability Power is something that wouldn't recommend. As I said, while it may give you more ability power initially, the scaling ability power runes become stronger at level 7. These runes would be acceptable if you want to gamble for an early lead and try to snowball.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist is a possible choice if you don't feel comfortable without starting with MR. However I don't recommend it as much, because getting an early Chalice of Harmony gives a good amount of MR already.
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power is what I prefer and highly recommend. These 3 runes alone give you a whopping +15 extra AP, equivalent to a Doran's Ring. This gives your early game damage a huge boost.
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed is a viable option. All together they bring +4.5% more movement speed to the table. Combined with masteries, that adds up to 6% bonus movement speed. Mobility being one of Vel'Koz's biggest weaknesses, these runes can really help compensate.
Greater Quintessence of Magic Penetration is yet another viable choice, since Vel'Koz has high base damage on his abilities. I personally feel that while these are a viable choice, stacking ability power is more efficient, especially at early levels.
Skill Sequence
I've found that ranking up W( Void Rift) first is usually best, as it allows Vel'Koz to push the lane effectively while increasing the damage on both instances. Not to mention it decreases the cooldown rate of the charges, allowing better harass and able to pull off a combo more often. If hit by both instances of damage, Void Rift applies 2 stacks of Vel'Koz's passive Organic Deconstruction. Therefore, its best to either his Q( Plasma Fission) or E( Tectonic Disruption) before or afterwards activates Organic Deconstruction. This can potentially cause devastating damage to the enemy champions.
Maxing out Plasma Fission second is ideal because really strong poke because of its low mana cost as well as its high damage output. It has a decent cooldown time that becomes incredibly short once some cooldown reduction is added. Another perk to Plasma Fission is that it is also able to be projected around minions if aimed properly. Choosing to increase the rank of this ability increases the duration of the slow up to 2 seconds, increasing kiting ability and making it easier for Void Rift to land both instances of damage. I choose to max out Tectonic Disruption last because the only difference between levels is a minor increase in damage and reduction in cooldown.
Naturally, any time you are able to put a point into your R( Life Form Disintegration Ray), you should. Over the full duration it can apply 5 stacks of Organic Deconstruction. Knocking them up with Tectonic Disruption and then using Life Form Disintegration Ray is enough to activate Organic Deconstruction twice, causing devastating damage.
Summoner Spells
Recommended Summoner Spells
This is your get out of jail free card. If you get caught out of position this spell can teleport you instantly to safety, or you can use it aggressively if you so choose.
Teleport mid is pretty common these days. It gives potential to gank other lanes, or teleport back to lane if you had to recall. Very easy to come out even (or ahead) in lane with this summoner spell.
Can add extra damage to Vel'Koz's burst to help secure kills. Due to the short range however, it may put you at risk if you try to use it. Early kills can lead Vel'Koz to snowball, and ignite can assist with that.
Unlike Barrier, gives permanent health and a strong temporary speed boost. This can help get you out of sticky situations, especially if paired with Flash. Outscales Barrier late game.IIII
Viable Summoner Spells
I think this summoner spell is really effective on Vel'Koz, since he's a huge target in a teamfight and its fairly easy for him to get caught. Due to the frailty of Vel'Koz, I feel that it is relatively easy to bait enemy champions using this spell.
I feel like Clarity is a good spell for people new to league. Its easy to run out of mana quickly, and it may take time to adapt. Experienced Vel'Koz players may want to take a different spell.
This is a shorter cooldown than Flash and gives increased mobility for a decently long period, which is one of Vel'Koz's biggest weaknesses.
Exhaust in my experience can be effective against AD midlanes such as Yasuo or Zed. It greatly reduces attack speed, damage, and movement speed. This spell becomes extremely strong late game.IIII
Not So Viable Summoner Spells
I personally don't feel revive is a strong pick in most cases. If you did revive, there still isn't much you can do unless you have a global ult such as Karthus.
I think Barrier would be a better option than Cleanse, because barrier tends to give a good amount of - although temporary - health.
I would just recommend Farsight Orb.
I don't feel Vel'Koz is an ideal jungler. A lot of aoe, but really long cooldowns and little ganking potential.
Core Items
give an extra +15 magic penetration. This combined with your magic penetration marks gives you a total of +22.8 magic penetration. In my experience, most mid champions don't run magic resist runes, so they will usually have between 30-40 magic resist. If that is the case then with these boots you will be ignoring more than half of it.
is, in my opinion, a core item on Vel'Koz. It has everything that he needs. A high amount of ability power for more damage and faster wave clear, and massive amounts of mana regeneration, and isn't too expensive. Not to mention the 20% cooldown reduction, which allows you to kite more easily and (hopefully) activate Organic Deconstruction more often.
is, in my opinion, a core item on Vel'Koz. Since he has high base damage, especially on his ultimate, the magic penetration comes in extremely useful. Vel'Koz also has a lot of poke, making it easy to take advantage of the unique passive that burns % of current health. This passive alone greatly increases poke potential, and combined with the other stats makes it invaluable.
is, in my opinion, a core item on Vel'Koz. It makes it extremely easier to kite the enemy, as well as landing any of his combos. It becomes harder for the enemy to escape from Life Form Disintegration Ray and/or the second instance of Void Rift. If a Liandry's Torment is purchased as well, it will burn for double damage on all of the abilities.IIII
Offensive Options
is the ultimate AP item. It straight up gives 120 ability power, and its unique passive increases your total ability power by 30%. Even though Vel'Koz doesn't have amazing ap ratios, I still highly recommend this item.
Brings a lot to the table. It gives you 10% movement speed, which helps negate one of Vel'Koz's biggest weaknesses (mobility) as well as offering 100 ability power. In addition to this, it also has a unique passive acting very much like an ability power based Statikk Shiv, as it charges up as you move/cast spells and at 100 stacks it increases your burst a decent amount. Increases poke potential.
is an excellent item on Vel'Koz because of his high base damage on his abilities, especially his ultimate. Life Form Disintegration Ray has a whopping 500 damage at rank 1. Void Staff gives +35% magic penetration, meaning you ignore 35% of the targets magic resist. If you combine this item with Liandry's Torment and Sorcerer's Shoes, you'll be nearly doing true damage with all of your skills regardless.
is a risky item on every champion, but especially Vel'Koz. His lack of mobility makes it easier to get caught. However, if you want to take the risk to take your lead even further, Mejai's Soulstealer is a good choice. Not only does it give the most ability power in the game but it gives 15% cooldown reduction as well at 20 stacks. Once again, this is a risky item and I only recommend if you feel confident in your survivability.IIII
Defensive Options
is a viable option if you want both magic resist and ability power. While it gives both of these things, it wouldn't be my first choice for a defensive item on Vel'Koz simply because he is a long distance mage. A lot of the gold spent on Abyssal Mask is due to its unique passive, which Vel'Koz wouldn't get to take advantage of because of this.
adds a bit more utility to Vel'Koz and is a completely viable option. It has a high amount of ap and gives a decent amount of cooldown reduction, but the active can be pretty handy to either catch enemies out of position or to slow them while trying to retreat. Not to mention the increased movement speed that it gives adds a lot of mobility, helping to negate one of Vel'Koz's greatest weaknesses.
can be a valid replacement for Morellonomicon if the situation calls for playing more defensive. This item gives slightly less ap, but more mana regen and some magic resist which comes in handy. This item is strong on Vel'Koz because of the amount of mana regen and the cooldown reduction.
is an amazing defensive item, especially against a heavy AD team. It gives high stats for both armor and ability power, as well as an amazing active ability, which can make Vel'Koz invulnerable for 2.5 seconds. This can be used defensively, or offensively, similar to Barrier.
offers a lot of survivability. A good amount of health and magic resist which can help against bursty mages. The real important part about Banshee's Veil is the spell shield. While Life Form Disintegration Ray can be interrupted, Banshee's Veil spell shield can prevent the first displacement ability - prolonging it. Every 25 seconds without taking enemy damage will revive the spell shield.
gives you a second life and adds a lot of armor/magic resist, greatly increasing durability.
Vel'koz Works Well With
Vel'Koz is really strong with other champions that have potential to crowd control the enemy.
This is due to the fact that all of his abilities are skillshots as well as aoe, it makes it a lot easier to land them if the enemy is impaired. Some examples of this would be:
Strong Against
Vel'koz Is Strong Against
has a fairly hard time farming under tower. Pushing the lane with Void Rift and keeping side bushes warded would be ideal to help deny a lot of farm safely. After level 6, Anivia will be able to push the lane just as hard with Glacial Storm. As Anivia is a really slow/immobile champion, it is relatively easy to land abilities on her. If she ever attempts to use Frostbite then she leaves herself open for Tectonic Disruption. While Anivia has potential to interrupt your ultimate with her Flash Frost, you simply outrange her. She is extremely vulnerable while an egg and you could likely kill her.
like Anivia, has a really hard time farming under tower. Pushing the lane and keeping it warded will help deny a lot of farm and grant you the lead. Rune Prison is just a snare, meaning he has no way interrupt your ultimate. His short range also makes him vulnerable in a fight, but be warned - his ultimate Desperate Power gives 80 movement speed. Against an experienced player it can be harder to land abilities with that speed boost.
is becoming quite popular lately and is a fairly strong champion. She has equal, if not slightly stronger wave clear than Vel'Koz, and Black Shield which causes her to be immune to CC and shields a set amount of magic damage. Organic Deconstruction, however, is true damage. This as well as the fact that Vel'Koz severely outranges Morgana's only interrupting ability - Soul Shackles.
has most of his strength come from his ultimate, Destiny. What a good Twisted Fate wants to do is push his lane, and then use Destiny to gank another one. With Void Rift you can push much harder than he can, threatening the tower if he leaves lane. You also straight up do more damage if you fight, and it could be difficult for him to interrupt Life Form Disintegration Ray due to his short range.
is a monster late game, but in lane phase you should have a good time. Swain has low movement speed and far less burst. Landing a Tectonic Disruption --> Void Rift to burst him down early shouldn't be hard. Vel'Koz also has a massive range advantage since Swain has fairly short range on most abilities. The only thing that you must be careful about is Nevermove, because it has long range and Vel'Koz's lack of mobility makes him extremely susceptible to the snare.
Weak Against
Vel'koz Is Weak Against
is possibly the strongest counter in the game to Vel'Koz. A well placed Wind Wall has potential to block all of your abilities, thankfully excluding Life Form Disintegration Ray. Not to mention he amount of mobility that Sweeping Blade gives can make it hard to land abilities, as well as being used as a strong gap closer. Rushing a Seeker's Armguard and going for an early Zhonya's Hourglass isn't a bad idea.
is a really scary champion in laning phase. Taking Barrier isn't a bad idea because it can negate some of her Mimic burst. I recommend keeping the lane pushed so she can't get too much farm, and keeping wards up so you wont get ganked. Chalice of Harmony is an excellent item to rush, because it gives some magic resist and some mana regen to help push the lane.
is really strong against most mage champions due to his extremely high burst and damage amplifying gap closer. I like to save my Tectonic Disruption for after he uses Cutthroat, that way it gives me time to retreat while I lay down Void Rift. An early Seeker's Armguard would be ideal.
can be really annoying to deal with as Vel'Koz. He has Playful / Trickster which allows him to avoid anything you throw at him. Urchin Strike is a strong gap closer, which is extremely effective against Vel'Koz. After level 6, Chum the Waters can interrupt your ultimate, so use it sparingly. As usual, rushing a Chalice of Harmony would be ideal. Play safe.
Once Plasma Fission reaches the end of its range or hits a target, it detonates - shooting at a 90 degree angle left and right. Activating the ability again mid air can also detonate it. This mechanic actually increases the range of Plasma Fission if you shoot it just right. This unique skill show allows you to hit enemies even if they're behind minions, like so.IIII
This is Vel'Koz's main damage combo. Tectonic Disruption to knock the enemy up, and then Void Rift while they're knocked up. This causes them to take both instances of damage, and does bonus true damage due to Organic Deconstruction. If you manage to land a Plasma Fission first, then it becomes much easier to land Tectonic Disruption.IIII
Life Form Disintegration Ray is an extremely powerful ability that can apply up to 5 stacks of Organic Deconstruction. This means, if you hit the enemy with an ability right before it, or shortly after it, you are able to do bonus true damage twice. In order to guarantee this, I find that knocking them up first with Tectonic Disruption and then following up with Life Form Disintegration Ray does the trick. Bonus points if you can land Plasma Fission and Void Rift for a third instance of true damage.
Farming & Waveclear
In my opinion, Vel'Koz is fairly easy to last hit with due to his fast auto-attack animation. Farming under tower can be difficult, so freezing the lane or keeping it pushed would be ideal. If pushing the lane is your goal, using a charge (or two if early game) of Void Rift should clear all minions in its path. Later in the game, only one charge should be required to take out an entire wave.
This guide will always be updated, and I will continue to add more. If you learned something - anything, then I feel I did my job. Like I said in my introduction, any form of criticism is welcome and encouraged. Thank you for reading! Leave a comment and lemme know what you think!IIII

He made me squirt 4 times and I lost count of how many orgasms he gave me while he was fucking my tight, pink little pussy with his big black cock! I can't wait to get pounded by him again, and other well hung black gentlemen! I'm definitely hooked for life now.

Kind of works as long as you didn't want to edit anything or comment. Not useful.
All 150000 issues appear assigned to me
Can not comment without buying the pro version.
cannot login
How can I login if my profile linked to google account?
Can't comment on anything without paying. View only app
Love this app, makes it very easy to use jira on mobile
Nothing could be edited.
After days of searching and trying other jira apps i found this as the best jira app and this is for design (greate material design), features (desk support , edit profile with crop option , attachment and more) and i really love the speed of the this app . So in general this app is fantastic. I really recomand you all to download this app.
No oauth
Easy 2 use
Installed the app on mobile phone and it requirex the add-on to be added. Searched for the addon, installed the Free Trial and when trying to create an issue in the app it says that the license expired (although I just installed the app and the addon on JIRA).
when i searched for an issue, the results where irrelevant.
Not really much better than Atlassian's crappy mobile interface
It works :3
Impossible to login
Loved it.. Very nice app
Very good
it says that url doesnt match any instance in your database. and yes, i did check http/https.
Its great to have such apps
Get "Jira Agile", it actually works!
Not able to connect to the server. Says it's not a JIRA URL. Using the same URL as in the browser.
Great and friendly app
Does not work for the cloud
Handy app that covers all the needs of Jira users
I gave all the JIRA mobile applications a try and I have to say this one is the best hands down! Keep up the good work
Tells me that enterprise connect is not installed, or that corrupt data was received
Very useful mobile application
So happy, it's a useful application, I can create tasks from anywhere and anytime.
I can't install the app. A product introduction screen come up and disappears. Not cool!
I am not able to edit the JIRA ticket. Not a comment nor a change of status. This application is like you are downloading it to just view the progress. Not a complete mobile solution. I am unhappy with the services here!
Doesnt work with cloud or google login. Should say that before install.
It said URL is not in database.
We use the atlassian cloud. Should your application works with it?
Shows data received were corrupted
All what i need from an application to manage my work activities on jira, great support provided by the team

The euro hit an eight-month low against the dollar on Wednesday as worries over tougher sanctions on Russia and their potential impact on fragile euro zone growth drove investors away from the single currency.
The Australian dollar rose over half a percent against the U.S. dollar, boosted by a higher-than-expected reading of a key gauge of underlying inflation in June, denting market speculation of future rate cuts.
The euro's weakness was broad-based, dropping to its lowest in nearly two years against the British pound. The single currency fell to 78.83 pence, its lowest since August 2012.

|Question: After I upgraded my system from Citect for Windows version 2.01 to version 3.0, I noticed the CPU loading in the kernel has increased. What is the cause of the increase in CPU loading?
|The cicode thread schedular has been
enhanced to be a more efficient user of your CPU resource. It has
been make more efficient in that it will give up the CPU very
quickly when Citect has a more important task to run. As it is now
more efficient we have also given the schedular more access to the
CPU resource. In version 2.xx and earlier the cicode thread
schedular was designed to limit its use of the CPU to no more than
50% of the available resources in any given second. In some cases
it would use more that this 50% in one second. Because of the
improvements to the schedular in version 3.0, it is now not limited
to the 50% of CPU. So that is Citect is not doing anything else
more important at the time the cicode schedule will use up to 100%
of the CPU resource in any given second.
This will mean that the cicode thread schedular (and so your cicode tasks) will mop up any available CPU resources without slowing down important Citect tasks. This gives a very fast responsive feel to critical Citect tasks while at the same time giving more CPU to your cicode tasks.
In version 2.xx and earlier the cicode thread schedular would sometimes not give up the CPU resource quick enough and users where required to put Sleep() function calls in their code to reduce the total CPU loading. This was a typical requirement in tight loops which called a lot of slow functions, for example DevXXX functions. This is no longer required for version 3.0, however it is still good way to share the CPU from one cicode task to another.
So to sum up you may see an effect of this enhancement as a higher CPU loading (using the Citect Kernel), however your system will be more responsive to the operator.

"Average sound quality, ruined by terrible fitting earbuds and very poor build quality"
- 2.0/5,
Pros - High quality cable, iPod compatability
Cons - Fragile, extremely uncomfortable, average SQ
I owned a pair of these earbuds for the long daily journeys back an forth to University. The come with a selection of different ear fittings and a small leatherette pouch to keep them in.
The Good
The sound quality of these units isn't bad. It's a little lifeless and flat, but certainly nothing to complain about. The units seem to be very easy to drive, hearing no difference between my amplifier or phone.
Secondly, they isolate just about as well as any other IEM, and are made from some high quality materials. The inclusion of a mic for phone call is also a nice touch
The Bad
Firstly, the most terrible problem is comfort. I have used a great deal of IEM, and these are by far the most uncomfortable earphones I have ever used. I used to have to pull them out every 10 minutes to give my ears a rest. I tried every single earpiece that came with them, but it seems the actual driver of the earphones is either too big or too sharp. After 6 months of use, I was still getting pain from them, so I know it isn't a case of "getting used" to new phones.
Secondly, I read a lot of stories about people saying the V-Moda units are poorly built. Know, I always take really good care of my gear, so this didn't really phase me. I should have listened. With in a few month on of my earphones lost all high frequencies - like some one had placed a LPF @~ 4Khz. After lost of emails back and forth, and posting the units from the UK to the US - I received am email informing me that they would not be honouring my warranty because I purchased them from Amazon.
So really, I paid $99 for sore ears, and a few months of use. To top it all of the sound quality was extremely unimpressive.
I certainly wouldn't recommend these to anyone - and if my experience with the v-moda customer service is anything to go by, I would urge people to say clear of this range.

Wonderful relaxing break
We stayed for three nights at Bays Farm.
We had a lovely mini break, we stayed in the blue Room which was beautiful with a super comfy bed, beautiful view of the gardens and all the little extra touches in the room - like the coffee machine, robes, ect made our stay that more special. Stephanie and Richard were lovely hosts - warm and wellcoming. The breakfast was the best I have ever had at a B&B. Would stay again and would highly recommend staying here.

text: Hi All, As you all know I picked up my pre-loved red beauty 90hp (April 2011 Make registered in Dec 2011) in Dec 2013 when she had done 16000 kms. I picked her for 5.8 Lcs as she was in good condition with extended warranty till 2016 Feb. I have not regretted my decision of picking her till date and its been really nice 5000 kms with her and as of now the odo stands at 21000. I am in to a dilemma in my career where I need to move to Gurgoan for better opportunity and might stay there for 2-3 years. There are few things regarding red beauty that is concerning me as of now if I am to take that offer to move out of chennai. 1) Should I keep the car or sell it, as the procedure to transfer my car and the RTO documents might be a challenge as there is a bank finance till 2018 on this car. 2) If to sell, what would be the best price I can get for a 2011 model 90hp with second owner and 21000 on its odo ? 3) Is there a procedure to get NOC from bank to transfer the car to a different state while under hypothecation ? I would request the forum members to share their view on this so that it can help the decision making procedure.</SPAN>
