I can't make up my mind about Chuggington. It seems oddly placed, geographically, and the mystery of its mid-Atlantic vocabulary bugs me. But frankly little of that matters when you've got a colourful, robust and entertaining toy like this remote controlled Wilson to play with.
A very cute little toy train in soft velour fabric featuring Miffy as the train driver. Each section has a different feature and can be detached from the others by Velcro tabs. The teething ring and rattle are good for younger babies while children who are into trains will enjoy pushing it along. Despite all this, it did not manage to hold our baby's attention and he tired of it very quickly.
Tomy's Tomica range and our family are old friends. We have bought the odd Thomas the Tank Engine bits in the past and the Tomy trains. However, they appear to have revamped it and we were introduced to the Hypercity range that would surely gladden the heart of any transport-mad child. The Big City set contained a pick-up truck, train, person, as well as a garage, station, track and road.
What does a train mad four-year-old need? His own station that's what but not just any old one. He needs a mega station that comes complete with a car ramp and two vehicles that let the train go past, flashing warning lights and sounds, and a dashboard that lets him be master of all he surveys which, thanks to the Tomy Hypercity Mega Station set, is quite a lot. It includes a large track layout, a shop, person and a train.
What do you get the train-mad toddler who's too young for a train set? This wonderful chunky, mini all-singing, signal-flashing level-crossing barrier-lifting set might be the answer. A perfect first train-set; durable and with lots and lots to keep the most curious toddler interested. Well worth the money.

Bezier, or as he's known on the streets and in the sheets, Robert Yang, is responsible for some of my favorite dance music of the recent past. Using sounds and rhythmic structures that are influenced by Hi-NRG history, he twists and upends the genre to great success with productions that I'm always impressed by.
I wanted to write about the track Mina coming out on the HNYTRX label as I've been playing it for the last few weeks in the studio while working and have been really enjoying it a lot. It all begins in s swirl of synths, banjo-like electronic pulses and a tough and prominent bass line that confidently establishes the track early on as a Bezier production. Drums hit hard on this one, with a number of percussive instruments playing a feature role at various points in the eight minute track. Bezier creates, in Mina, a landscape for a world I'd like to inhabit. It's all fast cars, leather, neon, muscle and haze at the edge of a decaying metropolis in my mind. This is a reading perhaps not helped by my being in the midst of Dhalgren, the amazing science fiction novel by Samuel Delany.
At around the half-way mark this track begins to move into new directions following a short rhythmic interlude. Elements and sounds become spaced out and trippy with delayed higher frequency pulses slipping over one another as a synth jams on the top, showing the human hand fully at work. As with all of his releases the production quality on this is really tight.
Bezier's Mina comes out on the revived and refreshed Honey Soundsystem record label HNYTRX later this month. He's also got an EP on the Dark Entries entitled Telomeres that came out in July. It's another release full of gems that I'd highly recommend.

Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge
No ones likes to stay in on a Friday, but it sort of sucks when you do not have a lot of money to spend. Here we go again, on another unexpected drive to who knows where. John and I ended up driving south again.
We saw a lot of trees, flat land, and hay bales, which I don't mind. I love looking at that sort of stuff. We ended up at the Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuge. If you follow along with this series you are probably going to see a lot outdoors pictures. We love hiking and love anything to do with water!
We drove most of the way down the gravel dipped road and on the way back stopped off to the side. There are a couple of spots that are kind like beachy areas. We saw a couple of turtles and there were tons and tons of water snails! Okay what you are going to learn with me, is that I love critters!
Most of the rocks were covered in snails.
Basically on this trip I decided I wanted to look cute…. I didn't realize we were going to be "hiking".
So here it is, my footwear! Haha. You would think I would learn my lesson. We always end up somewhere with water, dirt, or rocks.
Have any of you ladies ever walked in wedges or heels on rocks and sand? It's not easy! Of course I would have been fine, but if I see huge rocks that can be walked on, well see ya later, because that's where I'll be. We started walking on the rocks very carefully. It started to rain, so we had to turn around and make our way back. Pooey.. Darn. Oh well there is always next time! There really will be a next time, considering we saw rope swings, this river definitely seems like a hang out spot!
Steps up the tree to get to the rope swing.
I was soooo hoping to see a wild turkey or a black bear in the woods. Maybe next time!
I know it seems like I may not be giving you viable information, but you will never have a problem finding things to do in Alabama. I will always keep you in the loop!

Government workers in Will County may go on strike soon. If they do, they'll spurn a contract offer that would be the envy of many people in the private sector.
County officials have been negotiating for 15 months on a new contract for 1,200 workers represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. AFSCME members voted last month to authorize a strike. Both sides are set to meet Wednesday and Thursday for a final round of talks.

Notes on Healing
Want to know about a group of doctors that put Grey's Anatomy to shame?
The Longwood Symphony Orchestra, established in 1982, is a collective of surgeons, nurses, psychiatrists, med students, doctors, and medical practitioners who spend their leisure time making beautiful music. This orchestra, however, goes far beyond a hobby as most of them have found a strong correlation between music and medicine.
President of the Longwood Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Lisa Wong gave a presentation to my class this week to share that connection. She told us that the study practices of music and medicine are nearly identical. First, you learn the basics. For music, you have to learn how to read notes and practicd scales. In medicine, you start with biology and anatomy. You study every note, every fact and detail and "seek an elegant solution." Playing music affects the hearts, minds, and souls of the listeners while medicine does exactly the same for patients.
The orchestra performs four concerts a year to support and raise awareness for health-related nonprofit organizations and has raised over $1 million to date for 38 different organizations. Dr. Wong said that often times, these performances go beyond simple cathartic celebrations and fundraising. She told us about a time when the orchestra performed for the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Foundation. During the show, they realized the energy in the hall was unlike most shows they had played because it was the first time donors, trustees, and staff for the foundation had ever been in the same room as their clients. It was their music that got them together to share in a communal night of healing and common ground.
Dr. Wong has compiled her experiences into a critically acclaimed book that was released just this past month. "Scales to Scalpels" delves into the research she has done to find the link between music and medicine as well as her own tales of healing through music after some of her most disheartening days as a pediatrician.

Symposium: 2013 Hip Society Proceedings 34 articles
Risk of Impingement and Third-body Abrasion With 28-mm Metal-on-metal Bearings
Concerns have been raised about the sequelae of metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, retrieval studies, which offer the best insight into the clinically relevant mechanisms of MoM wear, have followed predictable trends to date such as indicting cobalt-chromium (CoCr) metallurgy, cup design, high conformity between the head and cup, "steep cups," "microseparation," and "edge wear."
High Complication Rate in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is challenging as a result of the patient's young age, systemic disease, multiple affected joints, small proportions, and bone loss. The intermediate- to long-term results of these surgeries remain unknown.
Stability and Trunnion Wear Potential in Large-diameter Metal-on-Metal Total Hips: A Finite Element Analysis
Large-diameter femoral heads for metal-on-metal THA hold theoretical advantages of joint stability and low bearing surface wear. However, recent reports have indicated an unacceptably high rate of wear-associated failure with large-diameter bearings, possibly due in part to increased wear at the trunnion interface. Thus, the deleterious consequences of using large heads may outweigh their theoretical advantages.
Elevation of Serum Tumor Necrosis Factor α in Patients with Periprosthetic Osteolysis: A Case-Control Study
Periprosthetic osteolysis is the leading reason for THA revision. The relationship of serum biomarkers with severe radiographic periprosthetic osteolysis has not been defined but may be important to direct future research and clinical therapeutics.
Does the Direct Anterior Approach in THA Offer Faster Rehabilitation and Comparable Safety to the Posterior Approach?
Newer surgical approaches to THA, such as the direct anterior approach, may influence a patient's time to recovery, but it is important to make sure that these approaches do not compromise reconstructive safety or accuracy.
Treatment of Femoral Head Osteonecrosis in the United States: 16-year Analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample
Many surgical interventions are used to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The instance and distribution of these various procedures may give some insight into the practicing community's understanding of the efficacy of these treatments. We therefore sought to determine trends in the types and numbers of procedures performed for atraumatic osteonecrosis from 1992 through 2008 in the United States.
What Causes Unexplained Pain in Patients With Metal-on metal Hip Devices? A Retrieval, Histologic, and Imaging Analysis
Adverse tissue reactions associated with metal-on-metal (MOM) hips are common in resurfacing and total hip arthroplasty (THA) designs. The etiology of these reactions in painful, well-positioned arthroplasties is inconsistently described.
Durable Fixation Achieved With Medialized, High Hip Center Cementless THAs for Crowe II and III Dysplasia
A high hip center total hip arthroplasty (THA) for dysplasia allows more complete socket coverage by native bone at the expense of abnormal hip biomechanics. Despite poor results with cemented components, intermediate-term results with cementless cups at a high hip center have been promising, but there are few reports at long-term followup without bone graft.
The John Charnley Award: Diagnostic Accuracy of MRI Versus Ultrasound for Detecting Pseudotumors in Asymptomatic Metal-on-Metal THA
The prevalence of pseudotumors in patients with large-head metal-on-metal (MOM) THA has been the subject of implant recalls and warnings from various regulatory agencies. To date, there is no consensus on whether ultrasound or MRI is superior for the detection of pseudotumors.
Vitamin D Insufficiency in Patients With THA: Prevalence and Effects on Outcome
The consequences of vitamin D insufficiency in the elderly remain controversial. The prevalence and potential effects of its chronic insufficiency on quality of life and physical function in patients undergoing THA have received little attention.
Do Jumbo Cups Cause Hip Center Elevation in Revision THA? A Computer Simulation
Acetabular revision THA with use of a large (jumbo) cup is an effective treatment for many cavitary and segmental peripheral bone defects. However, the jumbo cup may result in elevation of the hip center and protrusion through the anterior acetabular wall as a result of the oversized geometry of the jumbo cup compared with the physiologic acetabulum.
Partial Two-stage Exchange for Infected Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Preliminary Report
One common approach to the infected total hip arthroplasty (THA) calls for a staged revision, including removal of all components. However, removal of well-fixed femoral components can result in bone loss and compromised fixation; it is not known whether it is effective to leave a well-fixed femoral component in situ, remove only the acetabular component, débride thoroughly, place a spacer, and delay reimplantation.
Are Short Fully Coated Stems Adequate for "Simple" Femoral Revisions?
Many studies suggest long femoral components should be used in revision THA. However, longer stems are more difficult to insert and reduce femoral bone stock for future revisions.
Surgical Technique: Gluteus Maximus and Tensor Fascia Lata Transfer for Primary Deficiency of the Abductors of the Hip
Avulsion of the abductor muscles of the hip may cause severe limp and pain. Limited literature is available on treatment approaches for this problem, and each has shortcomings. This study describes a muscle transfer technique to treat complete irreparable avulsion of the hip abductor muscles and tendons.
High Rate of Infection After Aseptic Revision of Failed Metal-on-Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty
Evidence suggests some metal-on-metal (MOM) THAs have higher rates of failure and subsequent revision than other bearing surfaces. However, there are few studies demonstrating how these patients fare after revision.
Short-term Wear Evaluation of Thin Acetabular Liners on 36-mm Femoral Heads
Dislocation remains the leading cause of revision THA. One approach to decreasing prosthetic dislocation risk has been the use of larger femoral head component sizes. The upper limit of head size in metal-on-polyethylene hip arthroplasty has historically been limited because of concerns about increased wear on thin polyethylene components. It is not known to what degree this concern should apply to more wear-resistant polyethylene components.
Is Intraarticular Pathology Common in Patients With Hip Dysplasia Undergoing Periacetabular Osteotomy?
Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) enables correction of bony acetabular deficiency in the setting of hip dysplasia. Patients with insufficient acetabular coverage often have intraarticular pathology, but the degree of this pathology has been incompletely characterized. We have used arthroscopy as an adjunct to PAO to further delineate intraarticular pathology in patients with hip dysplasia with mechanical symptoms.
Periprosthetic Fractures Around a Cementless Hydroxyapatite-coated Implant: A New Fracture Pattern Is Described
Periprosthetic fractures can occur both intraoperatively and postoperatively with implantation of cementless tapered stems.
Muscle Strength and Functional Recovery During the First Year After THA
Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) often are satisfied with the decrease in pain and improvement in function they achieve after surgery. Even so, strength and functional performance deficits persist after recovery, but these remain poorly characterized; knowledge about any ongoing strength or functional deficits may allow therapists to design rehabilitation programs to optimize recovery after THA.
Aspirin: An Alternative for Pulmonary Embolism Prophylaxis After Arthroplasty?
The most effective agent for prophylaxis against venous thromboembolic disease after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains unknown. The paucity of literature comparing different methods of pulmonary embolism (PE) prophylaxis and fear of litigation make it difficult for surgeons to abandon the use of aggressive chemical prophylaxis.
Hip Dysplasia Is More Severe in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Than in Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip
Patients with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease may develop hip dysplasia. Hip geometry in these patients has not been well described in the literature.
Causes and Frequency of Unplanned Hospital Readmission After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a beneficial and cost-effective procedure for patients with osteoarthritis. Recent initiatives to improve hospital quality of care include assessing unplanned hospital readmission rates. Patients presenting for THA have different indications and medical comorbidities that may impact rates of readmission.
Local Alendronic Acid Elution Increases Net Periimplant Bone Formation: A Micro-CT Analysis
Fixation of cementless orthopaedic implants is not always achieved, particularly in challenging scenarios such as revision surgery, trauma, and tumor reconstruction. An adjunct therapy for improving implant fixation would improve the reliability and durability of certain reconstructive procedures.
Taper Design Affects Failure of Large-head Metal-on-metal Total Hip Replacements
Large-head metal-on-metal (MoM) hip arthroplasties have demonstrated poor survival. Damage at the taper-trunnion junction is a contributing factor; however, the influence of junction design is not well understood.
The 2013 Frank Stinchfield Award: Diagnosis of Infection in the Early Postoperative Period After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be difficult in the early postoperative period after total hip arthroplasty (THA) because normal cues from the physical examination often are unreliable, and serological markers commonly used for diagnosis are elevated from the recent surgery.
Tapered Fluted Titanium Stems in the Management of Vancouver B2 and B3 Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures
Surgeons have several implant choices when managing Vancouver B2 and B3 periprosthetic fractures about the hip. Few long-term studies have reported outcomes for tapered fluted titanium stems.
Hip Resurfacing Does Not Improve Proprioception Compared With THA
Proposed benefits of total hip resurfacing arthroplasty over total hip arthroplasty (THA) include better proprioception, but this has not been rigorously tested or validated.
Risk Factors for Early Revision After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty in Medicare Patients
Patient, surgeon, health system, and device factors are all known to influence outcomes in THA. However, patient-related factors associated with an increased risk of early failure are poorly understood, particularly in elderly patients.
Does Femoral Neck to Cup Impingement Affect Metal Ion Levels in Hip Resurfacing?
Impingement of the femoral neck with the acetabular component after metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) is a possible cause of edge loading and accelerated bearing wear. No attempt has been made to correlate radiographic impingement signs and blood metal ion levels.
The Otto Aufranc Award. On the Etiology of the Cam Deformity: A Cross-sectional Pediatric MRI Study
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) has been recognized as a common cause of hip pain as well as a cause of hip arthritis, yet despite this, little is known about the etiology of the cam morphology or possible risk factors associated with its development.
High Complication Rate After Revision of Large-head Metal-on-metal Total Hip Arthroplasty
Previous studies have indicated poor outcomes in patients having revision of hip resurfacing resulting from adverse local tissue reaction and pseudotumor.
High Survivorship With a Titanium-encased Alumina Ceramic Bearing for Total Hip Arthroplasty
Although ceramic-on-ceramic bearings for total hip arthroplasty (THA) show promising results in terms of bearing-surface wear, fracture of the bearing, insertional chips, and squeaking remain a concern.
Periprosthetic Femur Fractures Treated With Modular Fluted, Tapered Stems
Treatment of periprosthetic femur fractures is challenging, and high failure and complication rates have been reported in many series. The optimal techniques and implants for the management of Vancouver B2 and B3 fractures remain in debate.

Family portraits are something I treasure. I love having pictures taken of the kids, our family and I even love taking photos of everyone myself. I enjoy getting photos done to have them to look back on years down the road. It's fun to see the changes over the years. I guess you could say I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to photos. I was thrilled when I was recently offered a holiday portrait session and photos from Portrait Innovations in exchange for writing about my experience. As soon as I had my appointment date with Portrait Innovations for our holiday portraits I immediately started planning everything out!
As a person who is a bit obsessive with pictures I stress about every little detail when it comes to preparing for pictures. I always want our clothing to match, I want the girls to have hair accessories, I want shoes to be perfect (even though most times you can't even see them! LOL). My husband can tell you just how annoying I can get about pictures, I am sure. I was worried about this particular session because it was on a work day after work at 6pm. This is a time the kids are extremely tired and hungry and cranky. I was so worried they wouldn't do well and we wouldn't get great pictures. I literally stress up until the moment we leave for the appointment and by then I'm carefree because I've done all I can to help with the photo results.
Holiday Portraits at Portrait Innovations
Once we are at the studio it's up to the photographer to give us the results I always dream of getting – perfect pictures! 😉 Portrait Innovations truly impressed me with their staff. Our photographer, Christie, was a miracle worker I tell you. Annie is not a smiley baby (okay, toddler) and it's rather difficult for even family members to get a reaction or a smile out of her. She's difficult to read and doesn't warm up to others easily. Christie, however, had it going on when it came to Annie. She got smiles from this girl that are hard for even us as her parents to capture! The whole time these smiles were coming out I was asking myself "who is this lady and where did she come from!?!" LOL She did an incredible job with the kids.
There were so many photos that I loved from our session. I loved the variety of photos that were taken. We had some great holiday portraits! Christie took individual photos of each child, a few family photos, photos of the three kids together, the sisters, mom and the girls, dad and son and even a shot of hubby and I together without the kids!
Another thing I loved about our session and portraits was the fact that we got not only amazing photos of everyone smiling, but our photographer was able to capture personalities like no other. She didn't even know my kids and she captured them at just the right moments in some photos that tell the story of who they really are!
This photo describes them so well! LA is sitting there smiling and care-free. Addy is screaming and being her silly-self. Annie is looking at the camera like "I don't think so!" This is obviously not the photo I chose to distribute to friends and family but it's a photo I love to have for us because it IS them. I think it's hilarious!
Here's another example of personality captured….Annie only had so many smiles in here and when she was done she was back to her straight face. I'm glad this was captured because it's her normal look! Don't get my wrong, she is a very happy child, she just has some very serious looks and isn't a fan strangers.
Portrait Innovations did an amazing job for our family holiday portraits. We got the smiles, we got the personality and we got amazing service! We were also given the option to have an outfit change but honestly, with three little ones and the amount of stress I go through trying to get one outfit for everyone, I opted out of the second outfit. Our photographer, Christie, also sat very patiently with us when it was time to select photos. She understood when I needed to get a snack for the kids, she understood when one of us had to get up with a kid, change a diaper, etc. When it came to a choice between a few photos and I was having a hard time Christie showed her expertise and mentioned things I had not thought about. For example when it came down to which larger photos I wanted of the kids and I couldn't decide between the holiday background and the white background she asked me if I would still be okay in February with holiday backgrounds on the wall. Good point. When I wasn't sure which pose to select she asked which I'd be more likely to give to family. Even with the special products we received (ornament and photo book) she made selections as examples that I ended up going with because they looked so good! She took all of the stress out of it! Another great thing? We got almost all of our photos THAT night!!! They had them printed and ready within 20-30 minutes!
If you are in the market for holiday portraits I highly recommend Portrait Innovations. This was our first experience with them and we will for sure go back. They have amazing packages and just think about how great pictures would be as a gift for grandparents! They also have a wide range of products like calendars, mugs, ornaments, mouse pads, and so much more! It's not too late, book your appointment with your local Portrait Innovations!
Give the Gift of Holiday Portraits this Christmas with the Help of Portrait Innovations!

How Important is an Accounting Internship?
An accounting internship is the most important step on your path to a full-time job offer. Employers usually rank "experience" as more important than anything else on a resume – including grades! This is not to say that good grades don't matter, because they do, but an internship is more important because it lets an employer know you have had hands-on exposure to the application of accounting concepts in a real business environment and have had firsthand experience applying the communication skills needed to work well with others in a professional setting.
In many circumstances, companies will give interns full-time job offers upon graduation. This is especially common at public accounting firms. The internship allows the company to evaluate the intern on the job before making the decision to hire them. It also gives the intern a chance to get a feel for what type of work they would do if they accepted a job at that company. Although most view the internship experience as a long "interview" by the company, you should think of an internship as a two-way interview – you are also interviewing the company! You can use the internship to decide if you would accept a full-time offer from that company or would prefer to explore your other options.
What Internships are Available?
Most accounting internships are either with a public accounting firm or an industry company. Public accounting firms usually offer summer or winter internships while industry companies offer various internships, including those that allow the student to work full-time during the summer and part-time during the school year. This type of internship will commonly extend until the student graduates. The public accounting internships typically last about three months and conclude with an exit interview in which the company can offer the intern a full-time position to start after graduation. Internship pay varies but typically accounting interns are paid between $19 and $30 per hour. For interns who work during tax or audit busy season, the rate can go up by 50% for overtime. At this rate, working a 60 hour week equates to a really nice paycheck!
Public Accounting: Tax vs. Audit Internships
When applying for an internship, most accounting firms will ask the candidate whether they want to apply for an audit (also referred to as assurance) or tax internship. Most students do not know enough about the environment and work associated with tax or audit to have a preference at that point. For those who really enjoyed their individual and corporate income tax classes, the obvious answer would be a tax internship. Working in tax involves meeting with various individual and corporate clients while planning, researching, and preparing tax returns. For those who like exposure to multiple areas of business, audit is the best choice. As an audit intern, you will work on a team that tests and documents account balances and internal control processes for clients to provide an independent opinion on their financial statements. The audit field typically offers opportunities to work on multiple engagements in various industries. Even if you are unsure which field you prefer, it is important to choose either audit or tax and be decisive about that choice in the application and interview process. Public accounting firms want to know the preference up front so that they can properly plan for their departments. Talking with your accounting professors and reaching out to professionals in both fields will help you understand different aspects. Following the successful completion of an internship program, you may decide you want to begin your career in an alternate area (tax instead of audit or vice versa). Public accounting firms will often accommodate requests to start full-time in a different group. It is not uncommon for an intern to make such a request, the key is to clearly define your reasons for wanting the change and emphasize the value that your internship will bring to the full-time role you desire.
Internship Admission Process
Accounting internships are typically offered to students in their sophomore or junior year of college. After receiving your resume (usually either online or through a college campus career fair) companies will typically interview candidates on campus. Companies will then call back the candidates who performed well in the campus interview and invite them to a second and final interview at the company's office. Finally, the candidates from the final interviews will be notified within a week or two if an internship offer is extended.

Hard Drive: SSD or HDD?
June 20th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments
Watch the video first:
SSD stands for Solid State Drive. We might be familiar with USB drive, SSD can be thought of as an oversized and more sophisticated version of the humble USB memory stick. Like a pendrive, there are no moving parts to an SSD, and information is stored in microchips.
Meanwhile, a hard disk drive (HDD) uses a mechanical arm with a read/write head to move around and read information from the right location on a storage platter.
You can read more on SSD vs HDD, with a very brief description of SSD and HDD in details. Since both have their own pros and cons, the table below is good enough to summarize them all. Though, everything depends on our requirements.
|SSD (Solid State Drive)
|HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
|Power Draw / Battery Life
|Less power draw, averages 2 – 3 watts, resulting in 30+ minute battery boost
|More power draw, averages 6 – 7 watts and therefore uses more battery
|Expensive, in excess of $1.50 per gigabyte
|Only around $0.10 per gigabyte, very cheap
|Typically not larger than 256GB for notebook size drives
|Typically 500GB – 1TB for notebook size drives
|Bootup Time for Windows 7
|Around 22 seconds average bootup time
|Around 40 seconds average bootup time
|There are no moving parts and as such no sound
|Audible clicks and spinning can be heard
|No vibration as there are no moving parts
|The spinning of the platters can sometimes result in vibration
|Heat Produced
|Lower power draw and no moving parts so little heat is produced
|HDD doesn't produce much heat, but it will have a measurable amount more heat than an SSD due to moving parts and higher power draw
|Failure Rate
|Mean time between failure rate of 2.0 million hours
|Mean time between failure rate of 1.5 million hours
|File Copy / Write Speed
|Generally above 200 MB/s and up to 500 MB/s for cutting edge drives
|The range can be anywhere from 50 – 120MB / s
|Full Disk Encryption (FDE) Supported on some models
|Full Disk Encryption (FDE) Supported on some models
|File Opening Speed
|Up to 30% faster than HDD
|Slower than SSD
|Magnetism Affected?
|An SSD is safe from any effects of magnetism
|Magnets can erase data

Discussion in 'Fiat Global News' started by multijetter, Sep 23, 2013.
New Baby Jeep Renegade is Sexy,compact & Awesome looking with superb well built quality interiors & it has loads & loads of first in its segment new features.
Fortuner & Ecosport segment suv's will have a big battle with this baby Jeep & Fiat's C segment suv on which Jeep Renegade is based.
The Jeep is definitely going to burn the Indian roads.
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
is this fiat 500l ?
if the spied model is 500l and fiat actually planning to bring this in India then :dance:danceFIat will rule Indian roads again
looks like an angry gorilla
Hope autocarindia is talking g about this SUV.
Fiat 500l sells hardly in USA . It has got leaps of discount around $5000 and still struggling to sell. Its hard to penetrate a market dominated by Toyotas,Hondas and Nissans....
The market for cars this small, and that too if they are MUVs like the 500L rather than sporty or crossovers, is very very small in America. The Fiat 500 and 500L together far outsell the Mini-range (cars of similar size and 'heritage' though higher price) in the US, already, and the terrific Fiat 500X crossover is coming to the US soon enough too.
FIAT 500L may be selling in lower numbers but FIAT 500 is a huge success in USA. Agree US market is dominated by Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans, but I don't think U.S markrt suffers from herding mentality like India and so with the right product for that market FIAT can succeed.
Separate names with a comma.

OnePlus One smartphone users can now upgrade their device to Android Lollipop with official Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM. OnePlus has developed its own Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM for the OnePlus One phone, may be due to the controversy with CyanogenMod licensing in India. Based on the ASOP (Android Open Source Project), this ROM is free from bloatware apps and has near stock interface, like Nexus devices.
The following guide shows you how to install official Android 5.0 Lollipop ROM on OnePlus One. However, please note that this is an experimental build. It might have many bugs that have not been fixed yet. According to OnePlus, the major bugs on this ROM are unstable camera, video and Wi-Fi functionalities and have slower startup time on first boot; however, the developer will fix all the issues soon.
Before you get start, keep in mind that you will not be able to receive any over-the-Air (OTA) updates after installing this ROM on your phone. Also, your device's warranty will void, so install at your own risk.
Important: As always, backup entire data on your phone before installing this ROM. Also, make a full system backup (Nandroid backup) from custom recovery.
1. First, install TWRP custom recovery on your phone [Download here]
2. Download the ROM [HERE/HERE] and copy the file to your phone.
3. Turn off your phone and boot it into TWRP recovery mode. To do so, press and hold Volume down and Power buttons together.
4. From recovery, do a factory reset, cache, and Dalvik cache.
5. Now, go to Install and locate the ROM zip file you copied to your device and confirm flash.
6. If you have GApps (Google Apps), install it too. After flash is complete, clear your cache again. This will fix boot loop issue. Then, reboot your phone.
That is it. It will take little more time for the first boot, so be patient. Enjoy Lollipop on your OnePlus One phone (source)

The Classics Club monthly meme is another way to bring members of The Classics Club together.
I have been pretty irregular with the memes…two small kids, tons of work, and moving house could account for that :D.
Let's see if I can do a little better for later memes.
The meme question for this month is:
Tell us about the classic book(s) you're reading this month. You can post about what you're looking forward to reading in May, or post thoughts-in-progress on your current read(s).
OK, this month, I am reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (from now on called GGM). I have had this book on my shelf for some time now. After my so-so earlier reading foray into GGM, I did not feel like he was the author for me.
But after reading one too many light reads, I really wanted to sink into something more challenging and complex. And this beautiful cover was just calling out to me begging to be read.
I am mid-way into the book now, and so far I have zero issues with the book. The writing is beautiful and is a wonderful example of the magical realism style that GGM is famous for. The story is wonderful, meandering, meaningful, and filled with wonderful writing.
The story may not appeal to everyone but it appeals to me. I love how the story is fantastic but yet not too fantastic. It's challenging to read, but not so challenging that reading is hard work. I love it!
If you are into reading classics by the pool-side or beach (and if you are a member of The Classics Club, wouldn't you be?), I highly recommend this book as your reading companion.
Have you read this book? Agree, disagree with my thoughts?

Finally, a crafting post! I've been lacking inspiration lately, but thanks to Mojo Monday, I think my groove is coming back :) This card is the first I've made in a long time, so bear with me. This was the Mojo Monday sketch:
I used a variety of supplies on this one and I messed up on the right side of the card when I was sponging ink (oops!). Oh well. It's the hand-crafted touch, lol. The colors made me think of my aunt, so I sort of went with what I thought she'd like. Daisies and butterflies are a foolproof combination, I think. Very spring like, don't you think? :)
A close-up of the sentiment:
- Whisper White cardstock & satin ribbon (Stampin' Up!)
- Yellow text DSP (Stampin' Up!)
- Ink: Daffodil Delight, Marina Mist, Certainly Celery (Stampin' Up!)
- Daisy flower embellishments (K & Company)
- Butterfly stamp from the "For All You Do" set (Stampin' Up!)
- Sentiment: "Live Laugh Love" set (Stampin' Up!)
- The green & blue patterned paper is actually from a baby boy collection pack by Deja Views. I find that it's a very versatile paper pack.
- The brads are just tiny bronze ones I had in my stash.
I'm linking this up with Mojo Monday and The Shabby Tea Room.

CreativeMarket - InkWash - Vector Ink Watercolors
AI Illustrator | CS1+ | 11 MB
Illustrator User? You're Going to Love This
I've always loved the way commercial artists from the mid-century used watercolor.
Mix water, add a dab of India ink and soak the brush. Then spread deep, textured shades across your sketches and pen work in one quick swoop.
The only problem is until now watercolor sets have been too complicated and just plain crazy.
Personally, I love to make things stupid simple whenever possible.
That's why we created InkWash. It's a set of 30 watercolor brushes made by hand in the RetroSupply studios with India ink and water.
You don't need to upload any swatches, or read a 2000 word manual to use these brushes.
Here's exactly what you get when you buy the InkWash now:
30 ready-to-use vector ink and water art brushes
A display sheet with brush samples, instructions, special tips, back story and more
Versions for CC, CS6, CS5, and CS4
A diverse set of brushes made and inspired by mid-century commercial watercolor work.
When we made this set, we wanted to make it as brain-dead simple as possible.
But don't be deceived. You can still add colors to these brushes and mix them up just like real watercolors.
Just click on a brush, select a color and you're good to go.

text: I was reading Bonnie Holscher's post about the importance of continuing your education over at In Pursuit of Wealth and I couldn't agree more. You can completely change and reinvent yourself through a series of simple steps and it all starts with continuing to study and learn from those you wish to emulate. Most careers have a requirement of ongoing education which is based on the idea that you must constantly infuse yourself with a broad variety of new information and thinking to get your own creative thoughts and ideas going. If you pass up this opportunity to continue learning you are only shortchanging yourself.

Mulder: They're here, aren't they?The Hero encounters some weird shit. Really weird shit. However, just as he is about to say bye-bye to his sanity, some impeccably dressed gentlemen take him into a sciencey lab where The Professor explains that what the hero saw was a perfectly scientific phenomenon they've studied for years, and really, just another kind of Applied Phlebotinum that The World Is Not Ready for yet... This trope is a form of Exposition that would have become an Info Dump, if it wasn't so long overdue, since it comes after the protagonist (and the audience) is thrust right into the middle of a situation he cannot even begin to understand. It doesn't have to be Phlebotinum per se: any kind of Masquerade will do, as long as the hero stumbles into a life-threatening situation before people who know what's going on show up.
Deep Throat: Mr. Mulder, "they" have been here for a long, long time.

open/close all folders
Anime and Manga
- In the first two episodes of Darker Than Black The Hero accidentally saves a scientist working under The Masquerade and on the run receives a hasty explanation of what's going on. Of course, the true nature of the series is shown only when it all is twisted into Black Comedy.
- Neon Genesis Evangelion begins with this very trope. Shinji, a slightly dysfunctional boy, witnesses an Eldritch Abomination attacking the city then is promptly thrown into the cockpit of a Humongous Mecha that's not really a mecha at all: it's alive and is VERY bloodthirsty. It takes a few episodes until he gets the explanation about what the hell is going on but never gets told about ''what'' he's piloting until three episodes from the end. It's unclear which is worse: that he was told so late or that he was told at all. Regardless which one is true, Shinji got an all-expenses-paid visit to the Despair Event Horizon for his effort.
- Independence Day, when they visit Area 51, it turns out The Government knew about the aliens all along. They just didn't get around to telling the elected part, i.e. the President, until some time after the shit hit the fan.
- In the first Underworld movie, when Selene tells Michael about the werewolves and the vampires.
- The Rocky Horror Picture Show:
Dr. Scott: This sonic transducer...it is, I suppose, some kind of audio-vibratory-physio-molecular transport device?
Brad: You mean...?!
Dr. Scott: Yes, Brad, it's something we ourselves have been working on for quite some time. But it seems our friend here has found a means of perfecting it. A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter and projecting it through space...and who knows, perhaps even time itself!
- Happens in the first Men in Black movie, when K gives J a rundown on the little known facts during the latter's first entry to the MIB HQ.
- Used in Godzilla2014, where it's revealed the government knows about Godzilla and his ilk, and are in the midst of preparing contingency measures for them.
- In Edge of Tomorrow, the hero learns that his accidentally acquired power to reset time was a condition known to two people already who were busy doing research on it for some time already. More would have known, but attempts to inform military high command had gone... badly.
- In the first Transformers movie, it turns out that the government has been studying Transformers for decades in a secret base under the Hoover Dam, and that most modern technology is actually the product of their reverse-engineering efforts.
Live Action TV
- The spaceship containing the Power Source of the chronosphere from 7Days.
- Of course, a later episode reveals that the Americans aren't the only ones who have been doing that. Russians also had a time travel program that was shut down due to the lack of a potent power source. However, after another alien vessel was found in Siberia, it was restarted (by a Renegade Russian general seeking to usurp the presidency).
- Happens all over the Myth Arc of The X-Files, such as when Mulder goes to great lengths to recover the tiniest sliver of evidence that the aliens have visited Earth—only to be told by his Mysterious Informant that aliens have been on Earth for decades and some government circles have been in cahoots with them the entire time.
- A Wrinkle in Time: Meg and Charles find out that their father went missing because the government had him experimenting with tesseracts, which left him stranded on another planet.
Video Games
- Max Payne: "We were all involved in the early stages of the Project during the Gulf War..." This refers to Project Valhalla, the origin of the mysterious drug Valkyr that has caused Max so much trouble, to put it mildly.
- In the later sections of Half-Life, it is revealed that the dimensional rift at the beginning of the game was not a completely random coincidence. The piece of crystal that made the particle accelerator go crazy and open portals to another dimension was of same the type that another department at the research facility used in their development of teleportation technology for a very long time. Not only is the Lambda Core a huge device several stories tall and powered by its own nuclear power plant, the Addon Opposing Force shows quite clearly that expeditions to other dimensions have been going on for years and they have their own zoo for captured alien wildlife.
- Weregeek begins with Mark drooling at a look on dice and being chased by the Hunter of Monsters. He is saved by Joel and the others, who explain to him that he is a weregeek, just like themselves, which is why he was being hunted. It is much later explained that Joel, in fact, is the leader of La Résistance hunting the Hunters and he knows much more about them than he tells anyone.
Web Original
- The SCP Foundation approaches this trope from the side of the mysterious research organization, and plays with it quite a bit. The foundation has warehouses and biological containment sites full of things that simply should not be, which they constantly struggle to explain, or at least understand even after over 150 years of operation. In the world of the foundation, Magic A Is Magic A is horrifyingly deconstructed, and Sufficiently Analyzed Magic may only make you realize that the object previously deemed harmless is actually destroying the fabric of spacetime. There are times when the reader finds themselves understanding why its entirely reasonable for someone to be Killed to Uphold the Masquerade. The consequences of a Broken Masquerade are potentially The End of the World as We Know It.

Mimicking wet colloidal suspensions with dry granular media
Athermal two-dimensional granular systems are exposed to external mechanical noise leading to Brownian-like motion. Using tunable repulsive interparticle interaction, it is shown that the same microstructure as that observed in colloidal suspensions can be quantitatively recovered at a macroscopic scale. … Continue reading

10 Great Manufactured Home Floor Plans
Floor plans have an astounding affect on people's lives. How we live and interact with our family is greatly impacted by a home's layout. We need a home to meet our lifestyle and provide style and convenience.
Floor plans are important if you are buying a new manufactured home or remodeling. In fact, online buyers agree that floor plans are more important than images when searching for a home and are vital to the buyers process.
Those of us planning on a manufactured home remodel have probably created a floor plan or at least drawn out the idea – it helps us visualize the changes.
We'll take a look at 10 great floor plans for mobile and manufactured homes. From vintage to modern, we've found some great floor plans that maximizes space and delivers a great flow for the home.
Vintage Mobile Home Floor Plans
We've discussed how the 10 foot wide mobile home completely changed the mobile home industry. When mobile homes were only 8 feet wide, due to highway restrictions, the homes had no hallway. You had to walk through one room to get to the next. Ten foot wide mobile homes allowed true privacy and was an important step for mobile homes to become better suited for full-time living.
This Palace 'Ranchome' from 1956/57 shows the concept:
There were plenty ingenious designs during the mobile home golden era. This vintage mobile home ad shows the floor plan for a fold out home. Two hinged walls let out to provide additional space.
Single Wide Manufactured Home Floor Plans
Single wides have a lot of living space in a small package. These 4 designs proves the industry has perfected small space living.
The home above is from Skyline Homes and called the Sunwood. It has a kitchen on the end along with a pantry and an entry closet.
The home below was found on floor plan website and also shows an end-kitchen. I'm a sucker for kitchens on the end!
This next floor plan from Country Lane Homes is very common in manufactured homes. It maximizes space and allows for separate sleeping quarters – essentially an adult side and a kid side. The living room and kitchen, or main living area, is right in the middle.
Below is a smaller single wide from Jac Homes called The Imperial with a similar design:
Double Wide Manufactured Home Floor Plans
Double wide homes have a lot more space to work with. The sky is the limit when it comes floor plan possibilities.
This 1976 Bendix mobile home has always been a favorite layout of mine. Circular kitchens are awesome!
The Sierra is a model from Pam Harbor Homes. It's huge and well designed.
The Brookstone from Skyline is another double wide that uses space well. It has a great end design.
Clayton Homes has a double wide with a smart floor plan. It includes a large living area complete with a snack bar in the center.
Manufactured home builders can create any floor plan. If they don't have the exact design you want you simply select the floor plan closest to your needs and customize till you get it.
There's so many possibilities you may find yourself sinking in choices – one helpful resource is the book called Right-Sizing Your Home: How to Make Your House Fit Your Lifestyle.
The floor plan of your home is important. You cannot easily change it like you can decor so it's vital that you chose the design that will suit your lifestyle and offer convenience and style for years.
Thanks so much for reading Mobile and Manufactured Home Living!

Did Anti-Americanism Fuel the China-Georgetown Basketball Brawl?
Basketball is also a very physical game where players recognize an opponent's weakness to exploit it. It's a game where equal parts aggression and finesse create a beautiful balance when done right. On occasion, though, the balance gets tipped and the aggression takes over and all hell breaks loose.
In those cases, the catalyst for the altercation rarely has to do with the game itself.
And that's what happened in Beijing this week when a brawl broke out between the visiting Georgetown University basketball team and the Bayi Rockets (whom I must add are drawn from the People's Liberation Army, the largest military in the world).
I'm no expert in international politics but I think it's safe to say that the fight was about more than basketball.
Most of the Georgetown players are big, young, black men and for me it was strange to see them so handily taken down by the smaller, thinner-looking Chinese players. But then I remembered the Chinese players are soldiers and the Georgetown players are civilians and it all made more sense.
I refuse to look at the incident as a race thing, even though most of the people involved were black and Chinese. The perception of black basketball players in America is that they are thugs in basketball shoes, but in the video of the incident, it's the Chinese players that look like they should be restrained.
Reports say the game was heated the whole time. Georgetown is known for their lockdown defense and both teams refused to back down. The Chinese team was given 57 free throws to the American team's 15, so either the Georgetown players were playing a really aggressive game or the officiating was one-sided toward the Chinese home team. I think it's safe to assume both to be true.
The fight started when a Chinese player fouled one of the American players, leading to a dispute and then a melee. From the video of the fight, it appears that the Georgetown players are out-numbered and really far from home. In the swarm of punches and kicks there were a few people trying to break it up, but with no luck.
It's easy to say we have a great relationship with other countries and I think as Americans it's hard for us to fully grasp the anti-American sentiment that exists in other parts of the word. Seeing how smiley Joe Biden has been on his trip to China isn't really indicative of the way some Chinese people may feel about Americans.
And there's also some ambiguity about what Americans may feel about themselves. After all, when Americans journey to other parts of the world, we're expected to represent the whole country even if there are parts of it that we may not agree with ourselves.
I think the Chinese team and the fans who threw chairs and bottles at the American players saw those Georgetown boys as everything wrong with the world and completely indicative of the evil imperialist America they may hate.
But the reality of the situation is that the Georgetown players are college students with loans and scholarships who back home in America are normal everyday young people trying to secure their future through hard work and perseverance. Since most of them are black, even at home they have to deal with hate and unequal opportunity.
They are not American ambassadors or soldiers: they are basketball players.
The Chinese players on the opposing team are drawn from the military and it's no stretch to say that they have a different skill set than the college hoopers who will most likely go pro in things other than basketball back at home.
At one point in the video, you can see a Chinese player sitting on an American player's chest, just whiling away the time until finally one of the American player's teammates comes to his aid and the swarm of people consumes them all.
Truthfully, I've never seen anything like that before in basketball and I don't think there is anything someone could do in a basketball game to deserve something like that. It makes me think that for the Chinese players the anger stems from much more than that, and our relationship with China is more tense than the politicians are letting us know.
The game ended in a tie, but in reality it was a loss for both teams.
The perception around the internet is that the Chinese players overreacted and the American players resorted to the level that was necessary to make it out of there with their lives and dignity.
The politics of our country can sometimes leave the people in it out to dry and have to fend for ideas that might not belong to us when we're abroad. It's too bad the Georgetown players had to be the target of an apparent hate which they are not responsible for.

Jim Crow laws existed to protect white people from black crime and violence.
Jim Crow was a fictional black character created by Thomas Dartmouth "Daddy" Rice, a popular and successful nineteenth century actor and minstrel.
|Cover of music score for
"Jim Crow Jubilee",
Boston, 1847
Black-face minstrels
portrayed blacks as talented
and jovial, hiding the "crime
and wretchedness" that
prevailed in black
• Misrepresentation
Rather, black face actors often characterized blacks as fun-loving and talented, obscuring the crime and violence that prevailed in black communities.
The editor of the Valley Spirit, Franklin County, Virginia lamented in 1859 that whites were not familiar with the depravity of black culture and supposed whites needed to be forced to encounter black neighborhoods. "Come, reader, let me take you by the collar and drag you into this abode of crime and wretchedness of destitute and degraded humanity," he wrote. "We know you will not come willing, so come nolens volens. Observe their actions and listen to their conversation. What disgusting obscenity! What horrid implications! Their licentious and blasphemous orgies would put to the blush the imps of pandemonium."
Nonetheless, Rice's routine became so popular that the term Jim Crow became synonymous with 'black.' Jim Crow laws, then, could be understood to mean 'black laws.'
|Black face was not considered
disrespectful or derogatory.
Ironically, Jim Crow laws were enacted to protect white people from black crime and violence through mandated racial segregation. They first appeared in 1881 and became dominant throughout the states that once comprised the Confederacy. The first Jim Crow law is frequently considered to have been enacted by the Tennessee legislature when it required railroads to provide passenger cars for exclusive use by blacks.
The actual term 'Jim Crow Laws' first appeared in 1904 according to the American Dictionary of American English.
• Separate but equal
Contemporary historical revisionists portray Jim Crow laws as racist and, to some degree, they were. The laws allowed white business owners to refuse service to law-abiding blacks and visa versa. Whites were discouraged from using facilities designated for black-use only.
Jim Crow laws still exist where black juveniles present a threat to law and order and safety. While shopping malls may no longer ban blacks from entering their property, they often ban groups of teenagers without proper adult supervision on their properties. Old Jim Crow laws dealt with black crime by banning all blacks; current Jim Crow laws deal with black crime by banning all teenagers.
The Jim Crow laws of 1952 were no more anti-black than the Jim Crow laws of 2012 are anti-teen.
Not all black crime is committed by juveniles, however.
• Walk by stabbing
On Thursday, May 17, 2012, a black male casually walked through a Dallas area Target store and plunged a kitchen knife into the back of 29-year-old lawyer.
Arrested was a black male, 30-year-old Antowann Davis.
The victim, Martha Jones, said from her hospital bed that "He stabbed me in the back and kept walking."
Had Jim Crow provisions been lawful and enforced, Davis would not have been permitted in the store and the crime would not have happened.
Discussions of Jim Crow laws frequently focus on segregated public transportation.
|Rosa Parks never complained of
black-on-white violence
that forced segregated buses.
|Neither Rosa Parks nor other
black passengers suffered
violent attacks as are common for
whites, such as Sarah Kreager
who ride public transportation.
In January, 2012 a white 13-year-old girl was beaten unconscious on a school bus by seven black female students. In the aftermath of the assault, the mother of one of the assailants claimed the lone white girl had uttered racist remarks. The attack was video recorded.
Atlanta's MARTA public transit system is known for it racial violence. In April, 2011 two white Delta employees were viciously beaten by a mob of young black thugs who terrorized other passengers. When the train arrived at the West End stop, the operator did not open the doors to allow the passengers to escape the violence.
|A security camera captured the
image of a black male (right) who
beat a disabled white woman (left)
to a bloody mass as
black passengers laughed.
Black-on-white bus violence isn't unique to America.

SCIM support in Oneiric Ocelot
Hi there,
I use SCIM for Chinese input, it worked great on all version of Ubuntu until I upgraded to Oneiric, I couldn't install input method, only translation can be installed, what's up ?
It is there.
I already installed it via Synaptic, but the input method and extra fonts can't be install via language option, only translation can be select and install.
After some package update now I seems to get SCIM working again, I can select input method to use within SCIM, but I couldn't bring up the input method selection box, usually Ctrl-Spc will do but nothing happens here, any idea ?
