Storage Analytics Overview
Windows Azure Storage Analytics performs logging and provides metrics data for a storage account. You can use this data to trace requests, analyze usage trends, and diagnose issues with your storage account.
To use Storage Analytics, you must enable it individually for each service you want to monitor. The aggregated data is accessed using the Blob service and Table service APIs. These APIs are accessible from within a service running in Windows Azure, or directly over the Internet from any application that can send an HTTP/HTTPS request and receive an HTTP/HTTPS response.
Important |
The Windows Azure storage services support both HTTP and HTTPS; however, using HTTPS is highly recommended. |
Storage Analytics has a 20TB limit on the amount of stored data that is independent of the 100TB limit for your storage account. For more information on billing and data retention policies, see Storage Analytics and Billing.
Logging Overview
Storage Analytics can log detailed information for authenticated requests and successful anonymous requests to a storage service. Logging is enabled and disabled at the service level, not the storage account level. For example, to enable logging for the Blob, Table, and Queue services, you must make a separate request to each service: one to the Blob service, one to the Table service, and one to the Queue service.
All logs are stored in block blobs in a container named $logs
, which is automatically created when Storage Analytics is enabled for a storage account. All data in this container can be accessed by using the Blob service APIs. A storage account administrator can read and delete logs, but cannot create or update them. Additionally, the $logs
container cannot be deleted, but its contents can be deleted.
For more information about logging, see About Storage Analytics Logging. For more information about the format of a log entry, see Storage Analytics Log Format.
Metrics Overview
Storage Analytics can report transaction statistics and capacity data for a storage account. Metrics is enabled and disabled at the service level, not the storage account level. For example, to enable metrics for a given storage account's Blob, Table, and Queue services, you must make a separate request to each service: one to the Blob service, one to the Table service, and one to the Queue service.
All metrics data is stored in two tables per service: one table for transaction information, and another table for capacity information. Transaction information consists of request and response data, and capacity information consists of storage usage data. Metrics for a storage account's Blob service can be accessed in tables named $MetricsTransactionsBlob
and $MetricsCapacityBlob
. As of version 1.0 of Storage Analytics, capacity data will only be reported for the Blob service.
A storage account administrator can read and delete metrics data, but cannot create or update it. Additionally, the metrics tables cannot be deleted, though their contents can be deleted.
For more information about metrics, see About Storage Analytics Metrics. For more information about the schema of a metrics table, see Storage Analytics Metrics Table Schema.

Pilot Varsity Fountain Pen Gift Set
Great set of Fountain Pens and Case
You can think of these fountain pens and case as gateway pens to start someone down the road towards more expensive pens and cases as their taste and sophistication ( and personal styles and preferences mature). I think they are an excellent way to get someone ( especially younger people ) who have forsaken manual writing and penmanship for a keyboard to discover the joy of putting pen to paper. A set of 7 well made but cheap and disposable pens with a nicely made leather cases an excellent way to introduce someone to pens and writing in general and fountain pens in particular. This can of course lead to better, refillable pens that can display their individuality and personal preferences later on and the carrying of a writing instrument in a well made case, highlighting the ceremony and gravity of affixing ones name to a document with a very personal touch. They are an excellent start to a lifetime of enjoyment in pens,penmanship, literacy and enjoyment of a tactile art.

Hit the Mark
This was one of my Chanukah gifts for my teenager who loves drawing. He LOVED it! The pouch for carrying is perfect for his daily knapsack and he know can add color to his multiple sketches, with some real awesome pens. I have to confess that I felt pen envy when I saw them!
December 1, 2013
Nifty purchase
Pens worked instantly. The fact they will accept refills adds value to a super product. Recommend!!!!!
December 1, 2013
Real fun to use
The colours are great,the ink flows smooth and they just feel good to write with..I love the soft leather case that they arrived it...all in all, a fun,quality item..and a very reasonable price. Great gifts..( but don't forget to get one for yourself...!!!)
December 1, 2013
Perfect Gift
I have bought several of these as "gifts," because I tend to buy things that I would like myself. Everyone has been more than thrilled to receive these pens. After giving four of these gift-set pens to others, I finally bought a set for ME. I, also, have a couple of sets left for gifts when I need them. I bought these for my sons - who only type & text - and they have "rediscovered" the fine art of writing. I highly recommend this item.
November 30, 2013
Fun, functional, Fabulous
I am a pen aficionda and love these pens. They are good quality for the money and fun colors to allow me to be as creative as I desire. I bought another set for me and one for a friend who is even more particular about pens than I. She LOVED them! My sister who hates fountain pens, keeps borrowing these fountain pens. She prefers them over a much more expensive fountain pen I bought her several years ago.
November 30, 2013
Fun for writing and note taking
Each color stands out (well, except for black...!) and the pens function perfectly. I've just ordered my second set.
November 30, 2013
It may be old fashioned in this age of e-mail but I love well penned letters to keep in touch with my near and dear. These pens are great for my note writing. I look forward to getting a really fine writing instrument in the near future as a reward to myself for taking the time and effort to make hearing from me a "special event"

Varsity pen
I had been wanting this product for a long time so as soon as it went on sale I got it and I am glad I did. A fountain pain always carries an element of class and this is enhanced with the pens are in a leather case. Looks impressive . I like all the colors so I can color code my projects. I would buy this again and recommend it to my friends.
November 30, 2013
Love this
My daughter who is 12 loves these pens. She uses them at school and they improve her handwriting. The case is great. I've just ordered a second set so I can have the case and she gets the pens.

Fujifilm X10 Digital Camera Review
$599.00The Fujifilm X10 hits all the marks that an advanced compact should, surpassing most of its rivals.
It's been a strong year for Fujifilm. They've launched a number of well-received higher-end shooters, including the HS20EXR and F600EXR long zooms, and especially the X100 premium compact. They've all had some pretty notable flaws, but each has earned a loyal fan base by following a different path than any of the bigger names in the industry.
The X10 is Fuji's latest attempt at the enthusiast photographer market. It's basically a pared-down version of the X100, offering similar styling and design as its elder sibling, but with a much more palatable price tag. Meant to compete directly with the Canon G12 and Nikon P7100 prosumer compacts, the X10 is a retro-fied, rangefinder-esque take on this niche genre.
Good looks don't matter if the X10 turns out to be a well-designed paperweight, but Fujifilm did a great job putting together a well-rounded, highly capable advanced compact camera. Read on to see how they did it.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: AMR ambulance service makes mind-boggling recovery
Less than a year ago, the city launched an audit of AMR, its designated emergency ambulance provider, following a deluge of complaints over large bills and aggressive collection practices. On Monday, the fire chief and members of the aldermen's Committee on Administration recommended that AMR be given a new 5½-year contract.
Perhaps what was most mind-boggling was the change of heart by Alderman At-Large Dan O'Neil, who had been strident in his criticism of AMR, citing his wife's experience wrestling with a large bill from the company.
The suggestion by some that the firefighters union had thrown its weight behind AMR was not contradicted by the appearance, at the review committee meeting of a letter from the president of the International Association of Fire Fighters. It accused American Ambulance Service of trying to "manipulate" the bid process by suggesting in a letter filed with its proposal that American had IAFF support "where none exists."
Gatsas noted it's been months since "he's heard any complaints."
"The ultimate recommendation is the fire chief, and the ultimate decision comes from the Board of Mayor and Aldermen," he said.
Dick said the difference between what the union and the district proposed was separated by only $1.2 million. And he noted that this was nearly the amount the aldermen sent to the district as part of its final budget.
"It's not the employees' job to pay for more employees," Dick said. "I don't think a guy at the convenience store says to his boss, 'Let me give you a couple bucks so you can hire another guy,'" he said.

First Norma, now Tosca: That makes two drab Met productions this season that Sondra Radvanovsky has lifted up on her back and carried to roaring success.
It all starts with her acting. The soprano was surrounded in this Luc Bondy production by uninteresting sets and cheap tricks that fell well short of their intended shock value. And yet her belief in and commitment to her character's struggle was unshaken. She was completely convincing as the doting diva in act one, showing flashes of jealousy prompted by genuine affection for her lover.
The second act was all hers, as it should be. She snarled her spoken line "Quanto?" when trying to make a deal with Scarpia, and when the proposition came she was obviously torn, wrestling at once with her pride and her devotion.
Throughout the night her voice soared with complete freedom, full, smoky, and ringing. All of this was manifest in her ravishing "Vissi d'arte," infused with passionate grief. She nailed the B-flat at the top to the back wall of the family circle, and as she came down off of it she floated a hair-raising pianissimo on the A-flat below. The conductor Marco Armiliato was right there with her, giving her as much freedom as she wanted, and matching her level at every turn.
For his part, the Met veteran Marcello Giordani had a much tougher stepping in as Cavaradossi, following Roberto Alagna this fall. Giordani is certainly no stranger to the role, but on Wednesday night, he just didn't have it. The Sicilian tenor was pushing heavily all the way through the first act, particularly in a clobbered "Recondita armonia" that was forceful but not especially tender. He paid for it in the third act, sounding exhausted and short of breath for "E lucevan le stelle."
Giordani was even less convincing dramatically, acting inexplicably boorish towards the poor Sacristan (an earnest and plush-voiced John Del Carlo), even pushing him over as he knelt in prayer. He did not seem to have much more than a passing infatuation with his Tosca, and when he met his end, he staggered, stumbled, fell, and then crawled a good four or five feet on his back to find a more comfortable place to expire.
George Gagnidze, a holdover from the first cast as Scarpia, was also not in his best voice on Wednesday. The baritone did not display the same fullness of tone that he enjoyed earlier in the run, and as before he was difficult to hear when not standing right on the apron. To his credit, he did manage to position himself downstage without taking himself out of the scene, which mitigated his volume problem somewhat.
Gagnidze continued to put up a heroic struggle against this production's shallow daub of his character. He had an arresting moment of humanity when he tried to offer comfort to a distressed Tosca, and was brusquely pushed away. He stood still, visibly wounded as she exited. And then the effigy of the virgin was rolled out, he copped a quick feel, and we were back to cringing at the creepy lech who just can't take a hint.
It was a banner night for Marco Armiliato in the pit. He kept all of his forces in line during the Te Deum, adding no more chaos than is already written into the score. In the second act his direction was brisk and spirited, but still fleshy and richly textured. The orchestra shuddered during the torture scene, and smoldered during the rapid-fire exchanges that follow Cavaradossi's return from the dungeon. The contemplative orchestral interlude at the top of Act 3 could have used some more velvet, but for the most part Armiliato brought out all of the drama of the conclusion, and was unashamed to tug at the heastrings by stretching out the reprise of the firing-squad's march.
The supporting characters were generally solid with Eduardo Valdes a sniveling Spoletta, and Richard Bernstein a heroic Angelotti. Thatcher Pitkoff stood out with a pure, affecting rendition of the Shepherd's song.

Want to find out just how much you use your tongue? Try eating an ice-cream cone or singing your favorite song without it. You need your tongue to chew, swallow, and sing. And don't forget talking and tasting!
Has anyone ever told you that the tongue is a muscle? Well, that's only partly true: The tongue is really made up of many groups of muscles. These muscles run in different directions to carry out all the tongue's jobs.
The front part of the tongue is very flexible and can move around a lot, working with the teeth to create different types of words. This part also helps you eat by helping to move food around your mouth while you chew. Your tongue pushes the food to your back teeth so the teeth can grind it up.
The muscles in the back of your tongue help you make certain sounds, like the letters "k" and hard "g" (like in the word "go"). Try saying these letters slowly, and you'll feel how the back of your tongue moves against the top of your mouth to create the sounds.
The back of your tongue is important for eating as well. Once the food is all ground up and mixed with saliva (say: suh- lye -vuh), or spit, the back muscles start to work. They move and push a small bit of food along with saliva into your esophagus (say: ih- sah -fuh-gus), which is a food pipe that leads from your throat to your stomach.
Have you ever wondered what keeps you from swallowing your tongue? Look in the mirror at what's under your tongue and you'll see your frenulum (say: fren -yuh-lum). This is a membrane (a thin layer of tissue) that connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. In fact, the whole base of your tongue is firmly anchored to the bottom of your mouth, so you could never swallow your tongue even if you tried!
Don't put that mirror away yet! Look at your tongue again, but this time look closely at the top of it. Notice how it's rough and bumpy - not like the underside, which is very smooth. That's because the top of your tongue is covered with a layer of bumps called papillae (say: puh- pih -luh).
Papillae help grip food and move it around while you chew. And they contain your taste buds , so you can taste everything from apples to zucchini! People are born with about 10,000 taste buds. But as a person ages, some of his or her taste buds die. (An old person may only have 5,000 taste buds!) That's why some foods may taste stronger to you than they do to an adult. Taste buds can detect sweet, sour, bitter, and salty flavors.
So how do you know how something tastes? Each taste bud is made up of taste cells, which have sensitive, microscopic hairs called microvilli (say: mye-kro- vih -lye). Those tiny hairs send messages to the brain, which interprets the signals and identifies the taste for you.
Identifying tastes is your brain's way of telling you about what's going into your mouth, and in some cases, keeping you safe.
Have you ever taken a drink of milk that tasted funny? When the milk hit the taste buds, they sent nerve impulses to your brain: "Milk coming in - and it tastes funny!" Once your brain unscrambled the nerve impulses, it recognized the taste as a dangerous one, and you knew not to drink the milk.
Some things can make your taste bud receptors less sensitive, like cold foods or drinks. An ice pop made from your favorite juice won't taste as sweet as plain juice. If you suck on an ice cube before you eat a food you don't like, you won't notice the bad taste.
Last time you had a cold and your nose felt stuffed up, did you notice that foods didn't taste as strong as they usually do? Well, that's because your tongue can't take all of the credit for tasting different flavors - it has help from your nose . Your nose helps you taste foods by smelling them before they go in your mouth and as you chew and swallow them. Strong smells can even confuse your taste buds: Try holding an onion slice under your nose while eating an apple. What do you taste?
Your tongue also gets help from your teeth, lips, and mouth. Your teeth help your tongue grind food as the tongue mixes the food around your mouth. And without your teeth, lips, and the roof of your mouth, your tongue wouldn't be able to form sounds to make words. Saliva is also a friend of the tongue. A dry tongue can't taste a thing, so saliva helps the tongue by keeping it wet. Saliva moistens food and helps to break it down, which makes it easier for the tongue to push the food back to swallow it.
If all that wasn't enough, your tongue even helps keep you from getting sick. The back section of your tongue contains something called the lingual tonsil (say: lin -gwul tahn -sul). Lingual is a medical word that means having to do with the tongue, and tonsils are small masses of tissue that contain cells that help filter out harmful germs that could cause an infection in the body.
But when you have tonsillitis , it's not your lingual tonsil that's infected. Tonsilitis affects the palatine (say: pah -luh-tyne) tonsils, which are two balls of tissue on either side of the tongue. The lingual tonsil, the palatine tonsils, and the adenoids are part of a bigger system that fights infections throughout your body.
With all that talking, mixing food, swallowing, tasting, and germ fighting, does your tongue ever get a rest?
No. Even when you are sleeping, your tongue is busy pushing saliva into the throat to be swallowed. It's a good thing, too, or we'd be drooling all over our pillows. Keep your tongue in tip-top shape by brushing it along with your teeth and avoiding super-hot foods. A burned tongue is no fun!

Skyhawk Baseball | Brad Goss - Interim Head Coach
Brad Goss was appointed UT Martin's interim head baseball coach on Sept. 4, 2013.
A nine-year member of the Skyhawk coaching staff, Goss became the university's first-ever full-time assistant baseball coach in 2007-2008, when Cates tabbed him for the job. Goss had spent the previous year as a volunteer assistant at UT Martin and two years before that as a graduate assistant.
As the Skyhawks' hitting and third base coach, Goss worked to develop the hitters, trains the catchers and spent five years as the program's recruiting coordinator.
Goss has been an influential member of the resurgence of the Skyhawk baseball program over the last four years.
In 2012, Goss coached one of the program's all-time greats in Jordan Owen. He ranked first in UT Martin history in games played (204), second in hits (224), home runs (35) and at-bats (742), third in doubles (43) and runs batted in (134), fourth in triples (seven) and eighth in runs scored (112).
Goss also helped mentor Ohio Valley Conference All-Newcomers Sonny Mastromatteo and Nico Zych during the 2012 campaign.
In 2011, Goss and the Skyhawks broke five team records and made their second-ever appearance in the OVC Tournament, producing their first victory in the event with a 6-2 win over Eastern Kentucky on May 26. He also coached Phil Sorensen, who made the Collegiate Baseball Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American team while earning OVC first team and All-Freshman honors.
UT Martin produced 24 wins in 2010, its most since joining the Division-I level in 1992-93. His hitters also broke the all-time school record for at-bats (1,901), hits (579), doubles (115), home runs (75), runs batted in (347), total bases (933) and times hit-by-pitch (60). The 2010 Skyhawk offense also ranks in the top-five all-time in runs scored (380, second), slugging percentage (.491, fifth), bases on balls (195, fifth), stolen bases (84, fifth), and hits per game (10.53, second).
In 2009, Goss helped lead the Skyhawks to their best Division-I regular-season finish (21-30) until the 2010 team broke the wins mark. UT Martin produced its most amount of OVC victories in a single-season (10) since joining the league in 1993. Under his tutelage, the Skyhawks set the all-time benchmark in UT Martin history in hits (572), home runs (57), total bases (865) and hits per game (11.22). The record for hits, home runs and total bases were later wiped out by the 2010 team.
Four of Goss' hitters were named to the All-OVC postseason team in 2010, a single-season UT Martin record. Ty Nelson, Trey Karlen and Jordan Owen were named to the league's second team, while Brent Morris was a member of the All-OVC freshman squad.
With Goss as an assistant coach, the team has produced some of its all-time great hitters. Cody Terry graduated as the program's all-time leader in hits (226), runs scored (145) and doubles (47), while Wes Patterson tallied program highs in home runs (39) and RBI (171) while becoming one of three members in Skyhawk history to collect 200 career hits. A 2011 MLB Draft selection, Karlen became the program's only player to amass 20-plus home runs (23) and 50-plus stolen bases (51), despite only playing two seasons.
Goss came to UT Martin from Arkansas Tech, where he earned his bachelor's degree in 2004 and was a three-time All-Gulf South Conference selection for the Wonder Boys. A four-year starting catcher for Arkansas Tech, he played for his father Billy Goss and was named to the South Central All-Region team in 2003 and the GSC All-Tournament team in 2001. He was also a four-year member of the GSC Athletic Honor Roll.
At the time of his departure, Goss held eight Arkansas Tech career records, including most hits (220), runs scored (152), runs batted in (169), home runs (29), doubles (58), total bases (373), walks (110) and hit by pitch (39). He sported a .350 career batting average during his days at Tech.
In the summer of 2006, Goss coached in the Alaska Baseball League, where he assisted former San Diego Padre slugger and West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx (AA) skipper Phil Plantier. As an assistant coach for the Athletes in Action Fire, he had the opportunity to work with some of the nation's top prospects.
Goss earned his master's degree in education from UT Martin in the fall of 2006. In July 2009, he married the former Anna Moore of Trezevant, Tenn., a 2007 graduate of UT Martin and second grade teacher. The couple resides in Martin.

Accords are roomy, comfortable and very easy to live with, largely free of niggling annoyances that can make otherwise good cars less appealing.Honda Accord and Toyota Camry have long been the benchmarks for midsize sedans because both do everything well.The Accord has a hint of sportiness that adds appeal.
The four-door Accord sedan competes with the Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, and Chevrolet Malibu.The Accord offers roomier front seats than the competition.And the Accord comes off more polished than most, with an emphasis on power, fuel economy and space efficiency.
The stylish Accord Coupe offers a 6-speed manual with the V6, for a rare combination in mid-size cars.It comes with a sporty suspension package and low-profile tires on 18-inch wheels, and goes head to head with the Nissan Altima coupe.
With effectively five trim levels, the Accord can fit a wide range of budgets.There's a no-frills sedan with plastic wheel covers, essential features and a solid stereo; and high-trim models with sumptuous leather, mega-watt sound systems, active noise cancellation and navigation.All variants deliver high engineering standards, excellent finish, good build quality and all the important safety equipment.
The 2012 Accord carries over largely unchanged; a USB port comes standard on all 2012 Accord models.The Accord benefitted from a facelift for 2011, and some new features and efficiencies brought improved fuel mileage ratings.The Accord sedan and coupe were last redesigned for 2008, when they grew in exterior dimensions and offered improved occupant safety.
Some of the Accord's competitors have been redesigned more recently.Others can be more fun to drive.Yet there may be none that match Accord's overall combination of polish, refinement, efficiency and choice.For that reason, the Honda Accord remains a benchmark among mainstream, midsize automobiles.
Accord LX Sedan ($21,380) is the entry model, powered by a 177-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.It comes with cloth upholstery; air conditioning; power mirrors, windows and door locks; a tilt-telescoping steering column; folding rear seats; and a 160-watt sound system with single CD, an auxiliary jack and, new for 2012, a USB port.The standard wheels are 16-inch steel with plastic covers, but the tailpipe sports a chrome finisher.The 5-speed manual transmission is standard, and the 5-speed automatic ($800) is available.The LX-P Sedan ($23,180) comes standard with the automatic and upgrades to alloy wheels, a power driver's seat, illuminated power window switches with express up/down for the front passenger, and a security system.
Accord SE Sedan ($23,930) builds on the LX-P package with leather seating, heated front seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and driver's power-lumbar support.
Accord EX Sedan ($24,305) gets a higher-revving, 190-horsepower version of the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, with standard 5-speed manual and no leather.It also adds a 6CD changer, 17-inch alloy wheels, power moonroof, heated mirrors and premium interior accents.The automatic is available.
Accord EX V6 Sedan ($27,280) features a 271-hp, 3.5-liter V6 with 5-speed automatic; fog lights come standard.
Accord EX-L ($27,555) and Accord EX-L V6 Sedan ($29,630) add leather on the seats and steering wheel, while the EX-L V6 also has two-position memory for the driver's seat.The four-cylinder EX-L comes standard with the automatic transmission, just like the V6 models.The EX-L models also come with 270-watt audio, XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth connectivity, heated front seats, compass and exterior temperature indicator, automatic on/off headlights and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.The Accord EX-L with Navi ($29,755) and EX-L V6 with Navi ($31,830) add a navigation system with rearview camera.
Accord LX-S Coupe ($22,980) is the entry-level two-door version, powered by the 190-horsepower version of the four-cylinder engine with a 5-speed manual or automatic.The Accord coupes are generally equipped comparably to sedans with the same letter designation.
Accord Coupe EX ($24,655) also offers manual or automatic transmission, but the Accord Coupe EX-L ($27,305) come standard with the automatic.The Accord Coupe EX-L V6 ($29,930) offers a choice of 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering column.Accord Coupe EX-L V6 with Navi ($31,930) adds navigation and rearview camera.
Safety features on all Accords include six airbags, with two-stage front airbags, front passenger side-impact airbags and head-protection curtains for all outboard seats.Other standard safety features include active front head restraints, electronic stability control, antilock brakes with electronic brake distribution and brake assist, and a tire pressure monitor.The optional navigation system includes a rearview camera, which can help the driver spot children and other hazards behind the car when backing up.
The current-generation Accord sedan was introduced as a 2008 model, and it's larger than any before it.Although it competes in the mid-size market segment, the sedan is classified a large car by the federal government, based on interior volume.The Accord is more than four inches longer that the Nissan Altima.
The two-door Accord coupe is smaller than the sedan, both visually and by exterior measurements.Every dimension, save width, is two to four inches shorter than the sedan.The coupe looks lighter, more lithe.
The 2011 styling updates for the sedan and coupe won't be obvious from across a parking lot, but they're noticeable in details at closer range.The sedan's front bumper and grille, wedged between angular, jewel-like light clusters were re-shaped.The effect is a slightly more pronounced snout than before.In back, the lip of the trunk lid and the taillights have been tweaked for a crisper, even more substantial look.
In general, the Accords maintain their contemporary yet notably conservative design, highlighted by a strong character line that slopes down and forward like that of the Acura TL, though the Hondas are much less angular than the Acuras.All Accord variants maintain the Honda hallmarks of narrow windshield pillars and a low cowl that promote good forward visibility.The sedan's rear door pillars have a pronounced kink popularized decades ago by BMW, and the four-door Accord might be mistaken from a distance as a BMW 5 Series or some other European luxury sedan.
Once seated, the Accord driver can see the hood and the top of the fenders where they meet the hood, but the forward edges of the car are not so visible.The swept-back headlight housings minimize protruding corners and ease maneuverability, though it takes some familiarity before the driver is certain exactly where the corners of the car are.Many of the Accord's design elements are a product of auto/pedestrian collision standards.The wiper arm mounts are designed to break away when hit, for example.
Accord LX models deliver pleasing design and materials, with a variety of storage areas for modern conveniences like iPods and old-fashioned vices like a bottle of Coke.Stepping up to the Accord SE model adds leather upholstery and heated seats, but the basics like seat design and driver ergonomics are shared by all models.
The leather is high quality and perfectly tailored, and the driver's seat in most models has multiple power adjustments.There's good support for the long haul, but the seats are easy to slide in and out of during around-town errands.EX-L V6 models add a two-position memory for the driver's seat.Accord coupes make use of their longer front door panels by adding a return sweep and pull handle to the armrest trim.
Accord's standard tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel provides a good range of adjustment and compliments the driver's seat movement, so people of every size can find a good driving position.The shifter is right at hand, and the proper handbrake has short travel.The sunroof button, reading lights and a drop-down glasses holder are located in a mini-console above the rearview mirror.
There's a clear view of what's all around outside the Accord, and of the proven, extra-crisp dial-and-needle gauges inside.Accords equipped with the navigation system now come with a back-up camera, and it's valuable.The information display or navigation screen is inset under a shade at the same height as the gauges, so glare is controlled, and the screen can be viewed with polarized glasses.
Lights and wiper controls are stalks on the steering column.Honda's graphics for the variable intermittent wipers are among the simplest: Rather than bars, lines or dots of differing size, the Accord uses one raindrop for long interval and three raindrops for more frequent wiping.
Controls for audio and navigation sit below the navigation screen and center dash vents.On lower-line models, the big round knob controls volume; on others it is the interface through which you work through various menus.Even on fully equipped cars with navigation, the layout is less daunting than the number of buttons first suggests.One row of switches controls audio input (AM, XM, CD, etc.) and another row has six audio presets.
Climate controls are located to the sides of the center stack, so you needn't wait to approve the legal disclaimer on the screen before you can ask for heat or air conditioning.The climate switches were among the improvements made for 2011, with more frequently adjusted fan and temperature control positioned on the left side, closer to the driver, and less-frequently used buttons on the right side.
Convenience features aren't exclusive to high-trim models.The door locks, for example, have multiple functions on all models.With the key inserted, the lock cylinders can raise and lower the windows and open or close the sunroof by turning clockwise for up and counter-clockwise for down.The unlock button on the key fob will lower the power windows and open the moonroof when it's depressed for three seconds and then held.The available navigation system adds convenience with voice activation, which can handle a multitude of chores without a hand ever leaving the steering wheel.
Our complaints about the Accord cabin are minor: We wish there was more differentiation in the appearance of different types of controls (climate and audio, for example) for easier recognition while driving.The lumbar support on all front seats (regardless of power or upholstery) is stout, and several drivers wished for less of it.The front seats have lots of room around them, prompting some slender occupants to note that the door was too far away for a comfortable armrest or leg brace.To some extent, of course, this gripe is a function of a large interior space with room for large people.The width of the Accord translates directly into a wide cabin, especially in front.The center armrest is big enough for two adults to share.
Rear-seat passengers will have few complaints.Seat cushions and backrests carry right out to the door without wheelwell intrusion, and the rear doors offer easy ingress and egress.Six-footers can sit comfortably, even with one in the back seat behind one in the front seat.The center seat is well padded, and as such it loses a bit of headroom to the outer seats.There's nothing particularly fancy in the back of the Accord: adjustable air vents on the back end of the center console, decent cupholders, but no rear reading lamps.
Trunk space in the sedan is a class-average 14.7 cubic feet, in a fairly useful shape, and the contents need not be heaved waist-high to load in.The rear seatbacks fold for more cargo room, and there's a lock on the pass-through behind the armrest on some models.The navigation system's DVD-drive is remote mounted on the upper edge of the trunk, but it's protected by a stout steel band.
Honda's Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) comes standard in all Accord models except the base LX sedan, but we were hard-pressed to notice the noise difference between LX and EX.The Crosstour has an upgrade called Active Sound Control (ASC), which is more sophisticated than ANC, according to Honda.Whereas ANC deals specifically with the elimination of low decibel noise entering the cockpit, ASC has a much broader range, including the elimination of unwanted high frequency noise.We still weren't overwhelmed with the effect.
Vibration and engine buzz are minimal with the four-cylinder engine and negligible on the V6, so all Accords come across as very quiet.With everything off and the windows and roof closed, tire and road noise flow in first, but it's never anything more than background.Bottom line: The Accord is smooth and quiet with or without noise cancellation technology.
We find the Accord nicely mannered, polished, pleasant and steady regardless of model, engine or transmission.It's comfortable, and perfectly predictable, regardless of body style.In general, the Accord comes across as firmer and a bit livelier than the Toyota Camry.It's softer and less edgy than the Nissan Altima.
The Accord has gotten bigger and heavier over the years, and it shows.The Accord sedan feels more like a mid-size luxury car on the road, less like a perfectly sorted, well-finished compact car.That evolution is hardly a bad thing, but it's safe to say that Accord has lost some of the spunk, or perhaps the fun, that launched it to the top of the sales charts decades ago.
Across the many Accord trim levels, the ride-handling balance varies over a narrow but distinguishable range.The softest-riding model is the Accord LX, by virtue of the softest suspension settings and 16-inch tires with a larger sidewall.The LX is also the lightest and best balanced model.Not as mellow as the Camry but gentler than much of the competition, the Accord LX handles bad roads with aplomb and basically goes where it's pointed.Electronic stability control helps get it back in line if it's pointed wrong.
The Accord LX stays relatively flat in the corners.It doesn't nosedive under braking, and it remains stable during left-right transitions on a winding road, or working through city clutter.Steering is light, direct, and makes quick work of a U-turn, though there isn't as much feedback about how hard the front tires are working as some Camrys and all Altima models offer.
Accord EX models have slightly firmer suspension calibrations, but most of what you'll notice comes from the lower profile tires on 17-inch wheels: more noise and vibration from lane divider dots, expansion joints, bridge seams, manhole covers.Apart from slightly quicker response to steering and braking commands, the EX is essentially the same easy-going Accord.Trips of any duration are accommodated comfortably, with a nice compromise between the isolated, creamy Camry and the adrenaline-induced Altima.Enthusiast drivers could live happily with an Accord sedan serving as a spouse's daily commuter, or they could opt for a V6 manual coupe.
The Accord Coupe trades a smidge of ride comfort for greater handling precision.Most of the change comes from larger anti-roll bars and lower weight.Tire specifications mirror those on the sedans.
Honda Motor Company is known as one of the world's fine engine manufacturers, and not one of the engines in the Accord line disappoints.Honda is also known for efficiency, and in that regard, every Accord sedan and coupe gained in fuel efficiency thanks to 2011's revisions.Improvements to vehicle aerodynamics, reductions in engine friction and new transmission gear ratios all contributed to higher mileage ratings.Fuel economy ratings for four-cylinder Accords improved by 2 mpg in the city and 3 mpg on the highway, and about 1 mpg for V6 models.
Fuel economy is an EPA City/Highway rating of 23/34 mpg for any four-cylinder Accord sedan, regardless of engine tune or transmission choice.Accord V6 sedans get an EPA-estimated 20/30 mpg.Four-cylinder coupes rate 22/33 mpg with automatic, 23/32 with manual; V6 coupes rate 19/29 with automatic, 17/26 with manual.
The Accord LX's 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine matches Nissan's 2.5-liter for horsepower, if not torque, with less fuss or raucousness.Compared to the 2012 Camry's four-cylinder, the Honda delivers one less horsepower and a bit less torque.But even though the Accord is the heavyweight of the three, its base engine's 177 horsepower is plenty to keep up with the Joneses, whether you choose the manual or automatic.The manual, though, makes for the livelier car.
Accord EX models get the same basic 2.4-liter engine with some minor changes and a higher rev limit, delivering 190 horsepower and besting nearly all the competition with no degradation in fuel economy.With the automatic this engine delivers instant downshifts and response for passing, but it upshifts at full-throttle well before redline.The console-mounted shifter has no manual mode, and the detente between Drive and D3 is soft, so we found ourselves checking the dash indicator to make sure we had selected the most economical choice.
The 5-speed manual requires low clutch effort, and the engine engages smoothly.The shifter offers good action, if not the short, crisp movement of some smaller Hondas we've driven.The manual allows a driver to get the most out of either four-cylinder engine, which will cleanly rev right past the marked redline.That lets a 177-horsepower 2.4 manual keep up with a 190-horsepower 2.4-liter automatic.
Of course, the 190-horsepower 2.4-liter and 5-speed manual are the most entertaining of all four-cylinder models, and this combination will appeal to that segment of the Accord audience that enjoys driving and believes shifting is done with hands and feet, not thumbs.If you don't know whether to choose the 177-horsepower or 190-horsepower version (setting aside trim considerations), ask yourself how often you floor the throttle and run your engine to redline.If the answer lies between never and seldom, then the 177-horsepower four will prove quite satisfactory.
The Accord's optional 3.5-liter V6 is rated 271 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque.That's more horsepower than both the Camry and Altima V6 engines (by a nose).The Honda V6 is smooth and quieter than the Altima's, and it has the latest version of Honda's Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) to improve economy.
Like GM and Chrysler systems designed to save gas on big V8s, VCM changes the number of operating cylinders at any given time to save fuel.The Honda V6 can run on six, four or three cylinders, depending on how much power the car needs to do what the driver wants it to do.The system is completely automatic and unnoticeable to the driver except for two things: an Eco light that illuminates on the dash when the system is on, and a slight hunting sensation as it switches back-and-forth between four and three cylinders at certain speeds.You'll need to be paying attention to notice that, however.
Accord coupes offer only the 190-horsepower version of the four-cylinder engine.It, and the V6 in coupes with an automatic, is identical to the engines in the sedan.The V6 used in the coupe with the manual transmission is different.Size and output are the same, but the unique coupe V6 has a different intake system that packs most of the power in the middle of the rpm range, and it eliminates the VCM fuel-saving system.The target buyer isn't springing for the sportiest model to save gas by letting pistons coast along for the ride.
The Accord EX V6 Coupe with manual transmission is the closest successor to Acura's defunct CL Type-S coupe, and it has a character all its own.This is most definitely the raciest car in the Accord line-up.The engine snarls and growls under a heavy foot, the shifter and clutch have more weight behind them, and the 235/45VR18 wheel and tire package adds another level to crispness and handling grip.

House Democrats are prepared to follow President Obama over the so-called fiscal cliff rather than extend the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans, the number two Democrat on the House Budget Committee said Friday morning. She also said that any such deal that doesn't include an increase in the debt ceiling would be a nonstarter.
"We'll go to the mat on this," said Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Allyson Schwartz. "There's no question we are with the president." Speaking at a conference hosted by National Journal, The Atlantic, and Allstate, Schwartz reiterated that she and her colleagues don't want to go over the so called cliff, which involves a combination of tax increases and automatic spending cuts. "We ought to" reach an agreement "because it's the right policy to not let it happen," she said. Asked whether House Democrats would settle for an increase in the tax rates of those making over $250,000 that still ended up below the Clinton-era rates scheduled to go back into effect in the new year, she was unenthusiastic but didn't rule it out entirely. "I don't want to second guess what we might decide," she said, but, "I think we'll go to" the Clinton era rates.

Schwartz also warned Friday that House Democrats could sink a fiscal cliff deal if it doesn't include a clean extension of the debt ceiling. "I don't think you're going to get enough Democrats" to pass an agreement without extending the debt ceiling extension, she said, noting that significant numbers of Democrats have been required to pass other such compromises over the last couple of years because of House Republican defections. "This is not a game. It is serious business," she said in reference to raising the debt ceiling. "It's not where you make the decision about spending and about the debt. We've already made those decisions." Asked whether there are enough Republicans willing to pass a debt ceiling increase without conditions to make it happen, she said, "Let's hope so."

Love the gloves. Plenty of padding, a little difficult to get on but that could be because they are not broken in yet.

This place is a pleasant surprise -- well-run, clean, and the breakfast was the best we have had in Alaska after six different B&Bs -- the hostess even offered fresh raspberries -- not a staple in these establishments! We asked for decaf coffee specially for an elderly lady and there it was-- made to order. Definitely recommend!
- Also Known As:
- Farm Bed And Breakfast Seward, Alaska
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Thank you for choosing the Farm Bed and Breakfast Inn in beautiful Seward, Alaska. The Farm Bed and Breakfast was originally a "truck farm", its previous owners having raised and sold vegetables, rhubarb, strawberries, and raspberries. It was purchased by the Hooglands in 1968 as weekend retreat, and for a few years the garden continued; a pet goat, couple of pigs, ducks, and chickens were added. The place became known locally as "Hoogland's Farm", so when it became a bed a breakfast, 'The Farm' seemed an appropriate name. The farm house, built in the 1920's, was renovated in 1988 and became a bed and breakfast in 1989. Over the next few seasons, the cottages, bungalow, and kitchenettes were added. The idea of a bed and breakfast was Jack's, and for several years he was an integral part of the day-to-day operation: serving breakfast, telling tall tales, and overseeing all aspects of the B & B. However, because of failing health the last few years, these duties have been assumed in part by his wife Joanne, daughter Carol, son Ricky, sister-in-law Jeanette, and various nieces, nephews, cousins, and grandchildren. Our goal is to provide a quiet, restful place to stay in a natural setting for a moderate price. The Farm is large enough for small tour groups and small enough for the independent traveler. Children and seniors are welcome. We have a variety of rooms like cottages with private baths, kitchenettes, and cozy rooms in the main house. If you find your way to beautiful Seward, Alaska, please consider stopping by the Farm... ... more less

Wild Season Ticket Holders To Recoup Interest, Partial Season
This winter's shortened NHL season is expected to be either 48 or 50 games. But what does that mean for Minnesota Wild season ticket holders who lost out on the first half of the season?
Season ticket holder could be getting a hefty refund if they opted to stay with the team throughout the lock-out.
According to the Wild franchise about 90% of season ticket holders waited out the negotiations.
They'll be getting a refund for the 17 home games lost to the lock-out, plus 10% interest on the price of the ticket.
For on-the-glass seats, which cost $4,800 up front; they'll be getting a refund of $2,200 dollars back, that's including interest.
For lower level side seats, which cost $1,800 before the season; they'll be getting a refund of $820.
There will still be 24 home games at the Xcel Energy Center this season, but it could be a more intense schedule for players.
One Wild season ticket holder told us getting 10% interest for sitting around and waiting was an easy investment; but he's not in it for the money, he's itching to get in the stands.
"I can see the minute the game starts, the crowd erupting, into huge loud applause. It's time, we've waited what 3 months for the game to start, so let's just start going now," said Keith Miller, Wild Season Ticket Holder.
According to the Wild franchise, they can't openly talk about what season tickets holders will be getting until the deal has been ratified.
That should happen on Tuesday or Wednesday. Then the Wild will announce the home game schedule, and single game tickets for sale.

Kamijou Touma is a Kamijou Touma. He is not a man (though because the Kamijou Touma assumed the form of a teenage boy, thus the "he"), nor is he a woman, neither a God nor the Devil, not a creature, not blah blah blah... just a "Kamijou Touma." Classification of a "Kamijou Touma": spiky hair, and a right hand adversaries refer to as, and also self-referred, as Imagine Breaker.

What a tease that NT6 Synopsis.
Has anyone else wondered what it'd be like for Fraulein and Aiwass to encounter each other? Aiwass either won't care much I'm guessing. Accel or Kakine seem to be his main interests... But Fraulein might be fairly interested in Aiwass's existence or whatever else. Though Kazakiri is a viable option too for Fraulein to be interested in. Definitely would like more of Kazakiri in NT!

Oh ... I just though about something. If vampires really do exists, then shouldn't something as crazy broken as them have a special counter to erase them? Just like IB does for distortions ... [/sarcasm] Quote:

Vampires will join the fun just to be killed because they are sparkling
though joke aside. The phantasmal creature in tamni verse are very rare. The only shown are the elves and angels but there are groups who hunts down spirits and ghost and deep blood did exist. The phantasmal creatures are there but they aren't in center fold with the human killing each other. I wonder if the holistic esper was successful will there be more phantasmal beings showing up.

Yeah, that's what her ability is called.
Kamachi hasn't forgotten her, he's just waiting for the arc that'll bring her to the spotlight.....maybe. Just wondering, since vampires are super natural beings like angels, wouldn't they die/disappear if Touma touched them?

Like I've said, Kamachi has a soft spot for her- Otherwise he wouldn't have place her in the unique position of being Kamijou's classmate. While she won't have any major appearance, it at least gives her multiple minor appearances and cameo. |

We can't say for sure that vampires will be killed with one touch. Its the matter of who comes first as a natural being or not. Vampires are considered ancient being that live for hundreds of years. Its possible that they are part of the origin of the world or can be considered by imagine breaker as a natural existence depending on when the archive of IB updated. It depends on it if the vampire are natural or alien to the world but since IB can be updated and altered. Then we can't be sure anymore. Though for now, I think IB will kill a vampire.

Please don't bring Nasu terminology and logic in Toaru, it gives weird temptations ...
We don't know for sure if IB can be altered that way, at least no one implied something like that can be done ... no, it's more like it can't be altered that way at all, otherwise the point of IB being an absolute point of reference won't make sense anymore. The thing about it being able to kill a vampire or not is more or less a question of point of view, why does Deep Blood exist if IB can deal with them? That's just one way to see it though. The other one Tsunade mentioned is "are they some kind of distortions?". But it's more about whether their body is made of : if it is of supernatural materials (like the Angels) or natural materials that are stabilized with some kind of magic (the rock or parer Golems) or supernaturally modified materials (like Marian's "properties"), in this case it should work. But, from what we know IB doesn't work on naturally born humans whose specs are enhanced with some kind of supernatural tricks (the saints) or oddities with natural human-like bodies like Fraulein (it doesn't look like IB work on her from what we've seen up until now) ; if the vampires are one of them, then IB won't likely work on them.

The sound of history will soon be heard echoing through the Rocky Mountains as an authentic World War II vintage North American B-25H Mitchell arrives in Denver, CO on Friday, July 18 for a two-month visit offering local citizens to see living aviation history up-close and personal.
Operated by the non-profit Warbirds Unlimited Foundation of Mesa, AZ, the B-25H named "Barbie III" will be based at Denver Jet Center at Centennial Airport in Denver. The famous medium bomber is fully-restored to 1943 standards, and will be available for free viewing on the ground on Saturdays and Sundays through the second week of September and will be offering rides as well.
The B-25 Mitchell is best known for its role in the famous Doolittle raid on Japan in 1942. The well-known mission where 16 B-25s flew from the aircraft carrier USS Hornet to make the first attack on Japan following the Pearl Harbor attack has been seen in countless movies, books, and articles and was one of the key events of the early days of the war. Throughout WWII, the B-25 played a major role as a medium bomber and ground attack aircraft in both the Pacific and European Theater of operations.
Over 9,800 B-25's were built from 1940 to 1945, but only around 30 remain in flying condition today, flown by private operators and museums. Out of those remaining, our B-25, the "Barbie III", is the last flying H-model of the B-25, noted for the installation of a 75mm cannon in the nose and its configuration as a ground attack aircraft.
Warbirds Unlimited tells ANN the B-25 is available for 30-minute flights around Denver, allowing passengers to fly aboard the aircraft in the same positions WWII veterans flew in more than 60 years ago. Flights are a $375 donation per person, per flight and up to six people may fly aboard for each flight. 100% of the donation goes into defraying the expense of operating the B-25 and helps pay for maintenance and upkeep of the rare bomber.

Reblogged from Tech Bundu - Diary:
Until now, people who downloaded non-LTS (long-term support) versions of Ubuntu were treated to a lengthy support period -- a full 18 months. Now, though, Ubuntu's technical board is shortening that support window to nine months, in the hopes that Canonical can assign its engineers to other projects. (If you look at the board's meeting notes at the link below, the group also agrees that most bugs get fixed within nine months anyway.) If you're wondering how this might affect you, the new policy applies to version 13.04, along with all future non-LTS releases.

Hello. I recently purchased a T60 on Ebay, with no returns allowed. The computer works well in general, but it has frozen up many times. When this happens it totally freezes, I can't even pull up the task manager to shut it down. (It has a dead battery, so I have to unplug it to cut all the power, to make it reboot.) It usually happens when I'm online, but it has also happened when I'm editing videos and once it even happened during shutdown.
I have run many, many scans and system restores on the computer, I have posted to various forums and tried a number of suggestions, but the darn computer keeps freezing. After the computer freezes I'll look at the event viewer, and often there won't be any obvious culprit... But lately I've had a couple of freezes and then the event viewer will say this message: "The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: IBMTPCHK.
It's been suggested before that I should update my drivers on the Lenovo site, but my computer keeps saying everything is up to date and I'm not sure what drivers to look for.
Here's the Speccy log from a few days ago: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/BiQgWefvXYVUKm7
I'm getting desperate here. Any help would be much appreciated!
Welcome to the forum!
Pull the battery out and run the machine on adapter only. The freezing will most likely go away.
Once you've verified that part, just order a new *genuine* battery and call it a day.
Good luck.
I will indeed try that, but it could take a day or more before I know if it worked. (The laptop sometimes freezes twice in a day, sometimes it's more like every other day.) You don't think the IBMTPCHK errors have anything to do with the freezing?
My experience is that a dead battery will freeze a *6x series machine in a heartbeat on many occasions.
I honestly have nothing else to recommend until the battery is ruled out as the likely culprit.
OK, I'll try it. Thanks very much for the advice!

Well, I took the battery out a day or so ago, but then my computer froze up again tonight... And when I restarted it and checked the event viewer, there was yet another one of those IBMTPCHK errors listed, right around the time when the problem happened. I'm really starting to think that's the cause.
What happened was, I was clicking the volume panel and accidentally unclicked the "mute" button on the microphone... The laptop suddenly made this LOUD, steady beep noise, and the screen froze and the noise wouldn't stop until I unplugged the machine to restart it.
Try adjusting the hard drive protection software to a lower level.
Good luck.
I have the same problem. Volume control keys freeezes notebook.
