About the Collective
The Ensemble
The SFJAZZ Collective is an all-star jazz ensemble comprising eight of the finest performer/composers at work in jazz today. Launched in 2004 by SFJAZZ—the West Coast's largest nonprofit jazz institution and the presenter of the annual San Francisco Jazz Festival—the Collective has become one of the most exciting and acclaimed groups on the jazz scene. As the New York Times hailed the Collective upon its debut, "A serious jazz band rises in San Francisco."
In addition to its outstanding line-up, the SFJAZZ Collective has been praised for its innovative approach to repertoire. Each year, the ensemble performs a new list of compositions by a modern jazz master and new pieces by the Collective members (commissioned by SFJAZZ). Through this pioneering approach, simultaneously honoring jazz's recent history while championing the music's up-to-the-minute directions, the Collective embodies SFJAZZ's commitment to jazz as a living, ever-relevant art form.
To cultivate its distinctive sound, the SFJAZZ Collective convenes in San Francisco each spring for a multi-week residency. Throughout this extended rehearsal period—a rarity in today's jazz—the octet workshops the season's new repertoire and interacts with the Bay Area community through SFJAZZ's education programs for youth and adults. The Collective then takes to the performance stage, including home season concerts under the auspices of the SFJAZZ Spring Season and a national and international tour, with stops in some of the world's most prominent concert halls.
After exploring the work of Ornette Coleman (2004), John Coltrane (2005), Herbie Hancock (2006), Thelonious Monk (2007), Wayne Shorter (2008), McCoy Tyner (2009), Horace Silver (2010), and Stevie Wonder (2011-2012), the Collective now turns its sights on legendary pianist and composer Chick Corea.

Catalogue Number: 467-7399
DVD Boxset
Release Date: 18/02/13
Age restrictions for product
Casino Royale - Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his licence to kill. No less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, Bond is elevated to "00" status. "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly promoted 007 on his first mission to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier attempting to recapture funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. When Bond is placed under the watchful eye of the treasury official Vesper Lynd, his initial skepticism of her turns into a deepening interest as Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.
Quantum of Solace - On a nonstop quest for justice that crisscrosses the globe, Bond meets the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), who leads him to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a ruthless businessman and major force within the mysterious Quantum organisation. When Bond uncovers a conspiracy to take control of one of the world's most important natural resources, he must navigate a minefield of treachery, deception and murder to neutralise Quantum before it's too late.
Skyfall - Bond's loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost.

I have a few questions about the TLK10002. I plan to use the device to test a series of high speed signals. Here's my setup:
Scenario Overview
Factory Request
Based on your description I am assuming you are using the TLK10002 in 2:1 mode for both channel A and B. If this is the case, then the device will be able to support the data rate range from 500mbps to 4.5Gbps. Note, that the device will not support 500mbps to 4.5Gbps in 4:1 mode. As for reference clock, please see data sheet for valid reference clock range. See table 4 in the TLK10002 data sheet for reference clock rates and respective line rates. Note, GHz reference clock rates are not supported.
In regards to HS PRBS verification, I am not sure how HS verification will be done given that for each channel the 2 bits of LS data will be combined into a single serial HS data stream. I assume at you are looping- back HS_TX data streams to the HS_RX inputs and verifying LS_TX to LS_RX data streams.
The TLK10002 EVM guide with schematics is available online at: http://www.ti.com/tool/tlk10002evm
Please note the TLK10002 cannot be used at 4.5Gbps/ch in 4:1 mode. In 4:1 mode, a maximum of 2.5Gbps line rate is supported for the LS inputs.
Atul Patel
Texas Instruments
Thanks for your response. Let me elaborate on my needs further that way you can advice me on what can or can't be done on your end.
Just to confirm - are you planning on only using the device's LS side for pattern checking (i.e., the HS side and serialization functions are not needed)? If so, are you using 4 lanes total (2 lanes of Channel A, 2 lanes of Channel B) or 8 lanes (4 lanes of Channel A, 4 lanes of Channel B)?
The package drawing can be found at the end of the datasheet. This is the norm for TI datasheets.
To set up the LS side for PRBS error detection, here is what needs to be done:
The error counters can then be read after a certain duration of time to calculate the BER. The right duration will depend on the serial data rate, the BER target to which you are measuring, and the amount of confidence you need in the BER measurement. For example, if the serial rate is 5 Gbps and you want to verify that the BER is better than 1E-12 with 95% confidence, you would need to read zero errors after about 10 minutes (3E12 bit times). A good calculator tool can be found here: http://www.jittertime.com/resources/bercalc.shtml.
Regarding your question about a loss of lock - during normal device operation (receiving 8b/10b-encoded words), receiving a certain number of errors can trigger a loss of channel synchonization. This causes the device to try to re-align its word boundary based on detection of the "comma" pattern. There isn't any meaningful word alignment in PRBS test mode, though, so this feature is not used when the device is in test mode. Errors are just accumulated in the error counter registers and do not cause any loss of lock.
Once the error counters reach their maximum value (0xFFFF), any additional errors will not be counted. The counters will not "roll over" and show a lower value. The value is cleared (set to 0x0000) after a read operation.
If the pattern received does not match the pattern being checked against, the device will detect many bit errors.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.
Best regards,Max RobertsonSerDes Systems and ApplicationsTexas email@example.com
Thanks for your response. I do have a few more questions regarding my application and the TLK10002. To summarize, I have two applications where I hope to use the TLK1002. Both involve PRBS error detectors.
Just to clarify the point about the mechanical drawing, I want to draw your attention to page 72 of the datasheet. The orderable part is TLK10002CTR, which comes in an FCBGA package. Page 73 shows the mechanical specifications for a PBGA package; therefore:
Returning to the operation of the TLK1002, it is my experience that some error detectors multiply the error count by 3.
In addition, most PBS error counters start working after receiving a collection of bits (40/80/120/ect) to synchronize--and predict--the next bit of the PRBS sequence for error counting.
Lastly, what are the similarities/differences between the TLK1002 and the TLK6002 in terms of the error counting structure?
Again, thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response.
There is only one package for this device, but I see what you mean about the naming conventions seeming inconsistent. "FCBGA" (flip chip ball grid array) is an industry standard term for this type of package, and the corresponding JEDEC code is S-PBGA-N. There are many different packages that can fall under these headings, though, so the relevant unique identifier is TI's package drawing code. In this case, this is "CTR." You'll note that the table on page 71 associates the orderable device TLK10002CTR with the package drawing CTR, and that the mechanical drawing on page 72 is titled CTR.
Regarding the PRBS error counting, it works by predicting what the current word should be based on the previously-received words. It is possible, then, that a bit error in one word could cause false predictions in the next few future words and result in false error detection (e.g., the multiplier effect you mentioned). To my knowledge this only occurs with the PRBS31 pattern, as there is a wait period implemented after error detection with the PRBS7 and PRBS23 patterns.
Another thing to keep in mind with the error detection is that it looks at several bits at a time, so if there are a few adjacent bit errors they may register as only one error in the counter.
Assuming that the receive link is up (i.e., enabled, PLL locked, and receiving enough data transitions for clock recovery), it will only take a few byte clock cycles for the PRBS verifiers to synchronize to the pattern and start making valid predictions. This occurs much faster than MDIO read/write operations, so by the time the verifiers are enabled and the errors counters are cleared of their initial values the error detection should be valid.
The error detection will operate the same way for both TLK10002 and TLK6002.
Best regards,Max Robertson
Thanks for your help. I have one more question about the package. Because the website and the datasheet (page 71) reference the FCBGA package, will this be corrected? I just need to get a firm answer regarding this topic to reassure our component engineer that the official position from TI is that the TLK10002 comes in a PBGA package. I realize that in your earlier email you mentioned that his was simply an industry standard, but our components group needs something more concrete. I'm open to any suggestions you have, but in order for me to design with this part I need to address the inconsistency. I'm open to any suggestions you may have as well.
The different package names shouldn't be considered an inconsistency, since "PBGA" and "FCBGA" are not mutually exclusive terms. The term "FCBGA" just means that the device uses flip chip assembly rather than bond wiring. It doesn't say anything about the package material, which may be either plastic (PBGA) or ceramic (CBGA). For reference, here is a list of the various FCBGA packages TI uses:
Note that this list contains both PBGA and CBGA packages.
Also, here is a list of the various PBGA packages that TI uses:
Note here that there are many different package "types" listed: FCBGA, BGA (non-flip chip), FC/CSP (chip scale package), etc. Since these different terms (PBGA, FCBGA, etc.) refer to different attributes of the same physical package, it is possible to use multiple terms without being inconsistent. You'll see the "CTR" package designator show up on both the PBGA and the FCBGA list.

Tolls planned for A14
They said they'd never charge for existing roads, but that's just what's in the pipeline for the A14
The widened section of the road is part of a wider scheme for the arterial route that includes a bypass around Huntingdon and new, untolled roads running parallel to the A14 and intended for local traffic.
But although there are plans for new toll-free roads along the route, the intention to toll a section of existing road is a distinct about turn in government policy, especially after the coalition's pledge to 'end the war on the motorist' and a promise not to introduce charging on existing parts of the UK's road network.
The counter-argument to this is that the new section would be 'enhanced' with wider or entirely new carriageway, and will be complemented by new local routes, but it will no doubt still stick in the craw of many (though paying for roads is probably better than cutting a 70mph limit to 40mph).
It's still unclear exactly how the road would be tolled, but a DfT spokesman told the BBC "study work has confirmed that funding for these can be generated in part through tolling a length of the enhanced A14, featuring around 20 miles of new or widened road.
"However, more work will be taken to determine the best tolling solution, including what length the tolled section should be, how users would pay and what the tariff should be."

Pictures of the mainstream Nehalem chips otherwise known as Lynnfield have emerged in the asian forum XFastest. Unlike the Bloomfield that has 1366 pins, Lynnfield has only 1160 pins and lacks the QPI link that the Bloomfield uses for triple channel DDR3. Instead Lynnfield uses DMI which only supports dual channel DDR3. Check out the link below for even more comparison images. Source: XFastest via Expreview
so is DMI same thing as QPI, but only supports dual channel ? Why the hell do chinese get these things first ? They are sitting there with all this next gen hardware doing god knows what, while we only wonder over this hardware and go goo goo gah gah over just a picture of it.
Perhaps they have something to do with the manufacturing process,….hummmmm,….. Just be glad they let us look at their pictures
Cool.. What's with the top contact pads? Is that just b/c they're samples? Seems like I've heard something explaining, but can't remember..
Lynnfield is still quad-core, Havendale will be the dual-core nehalem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Nehalem_(microarchitecture)
Unlike the Bloomefield that has 1366 pins, Lynnfield has only 1160 pins and lacks the QPI link that the Bloomefield uses for triple channel DDR3. Instead Lynnfield uses DMI which only supports dual channel DDR3. I thought memory support was based on the mobo chipset specifications not the CPU? Am I missing something?
This is going to cause HORRIBLE confusion in the marketplace. With two different socket specifications in the retail segment i can foresee literally thousands of people buying the WRONG pinned CPU. And lots of RMAs. Silly Intel. Should have just stuck to ONE socket, and do the old "celeron" trick, ie, onboard memory controller simplified to single or dual channel. Mainboard manufs are also going to have to create so many different lines of motherboards... it will really cramp the value-added style of the brands. There will be too much enery spent (their techicians) on just releasing all the different socket chipset slot combinations. FAIL
Will the Lynnfield allow overclocking, or did they remove the memory controller from it? From the looks of it so far these new chips are going to be all but useless to most of us... Their HT 3.0 quad can't compete with our 4.0 clocked quads..
Has research degraded to such a point system builders can't even research whether or not their cpu will work on a particular mb? Well, maybe . That's pretty sad though, and really if you can't look something like that up then you might as well buy a dell. I suppose it's slightly more confusing than one universal board for all, but it's not that bad. We still don't even know just how it's going to work either. I wish more details would be released so you and others would stop jumping at every chance to call new tech a fail, without really having a good basis for doing so. But hey, you may be right....... We still don't know anything about oc'ing yet. I doubt I would categorize them as "useless" though regardless of that ability. Disappointing maybe, but we'll see. It has a memory controller, just a smaller bus width and less bandwidth.
there have been results from i7 ie bloomfield to at least 4.0ghz and a 4.0 i7 is greater than a 4.6 QX9770, therefore these setups will own 775 easily. I'll prolly go lynnfield but bloomfield is not out of the question.
So Core i7 is current Core2 QX and Lynnfield is Core2 Q ? These look every bit like next gen Core2 chips, where are as Nehalem doesn't look anything like it, top or bottom. Is Havendale then similar to current E5x00 or E7x00 series? And is Core i7 going to have the E8x00 chips? Have a hard time wrapping my brain to what segment these chips fall and are these the ones I'm probably going to own next (in the future).
Look at the wiki link I gave above, or google nehalem. You could say the lynnfield will be similar to the 7xxx series, havendale like the 5xxx series. Roughly at least. e8xxx chips are core2, and have nothing to do w/ i7. All mainstream's are quads in this gen, w/ only the low end being dual. Perhaps that's throwing you off.
Ah, missed the 'Cores' line in the Wiki diagram These being max of 95W TDP sounds good for the OC part. "and an embedded controller PCI Express will enable to share the PCI Experss x16 power for two PCI Express x8." <- that doesn't sound so good however for GPU stability edit: wonder if S775 coolers will work with Lynnfields, them being same physical size. That would be a nice sales boost for them.
ok, so this requires 2 totally different motherboards basically? one for poor people, with no option to upgrade to a faster cpu, and then the other.....? sounds kinda lame.... but then i've been an amd guy ever since the k6 cpu.... so i guess i'm kinda lame too...
Not quite correct since the bill is Taiwanese, 1000NT$ (New Taiwan $). And in Taiwan the hi-tech is everywhere (been there, saw by myself).
? what ? Intel has had 1 mainstream socket for a long time! Socket 478 for the pentium 4 single cores and then that was fairly quickly replaced by LGA 775 as opposed to both sockets being maintained for long periods of time. AMD has so many sockets on the go at any one time if anyone was to get confused by a socket type surely it would be thru AMD. Granted their AM2 have been a standard for quite some time and are BIOS flashable to use AM2+ chips most of the time. In the recent past tho AMD was maintaining socket A, socket 939 and 940...and if you want you could throw in socket L1 but the FX series wasnt that popular if i recall. These were all while socket 478 was the standard for intel and towards the start of 775! Not bashing AMD and being an intel boi, just pointing out the socket detail Zyro

Statements we say are Mostly True
Says Barbara Buono "voted to raise her own pay 40 percent."
"Property taxes have increased 20 percent under four years of Chris Christie."
"People want the minimum wage, they want marriage equality, they want women's health care. There's issues that actually that really do matter, social issues that matter to the people of this state. So I know Barbara would support those issues, I know the governor hasn't. You've seen the actions he's taken on them."
"We haven't had a Republican senator in Washington for ... why, I think Clifford Case was our last Republican senator."
"Barbara Buono by the numbers: As a Trenton politician, she voted to raise taxes 154 times. Under her, property taxes up 70 percent. Backed a 16 percent sales tax increase. Utilities, nursing homes, cell phones, parking lots, lottery wins, gyms – She taxed them all. Architect of Corzine's budget, she drove New Jersey $2 billion into debt. Barbara Buono by the numbers: taking New Jersey backwards."
"New Jersey's governor cut $1.6 billion from public education while handing out $2.1 billion in corporate tax breaks, more than the entire previous decade."
"Under Republican Governor Chris Christie, tolls cost more. Train and bus rides cost more. College tuition goes up. But Christie protected a tax cut for millionaires."
"Four balanced budgets in a row, with no new taxes for anyone. The best job growth in 12 years. Nearly 130,000 new private-sector jobs. Merit pay to reward New Jersey's best teachers, and the most education funding ever."
"We're spending less money today, in upcoming fiscal year 2014 than the Corzine-Buono budget spent in fiscal year 2008."

"The United States currently has the highest corporate tax rate in the world."
"Under Republican Chris Christie, New Jersey had the highest increase in unemployment in the country last year. Nearly 1 in 10 jobless. The worst unemployment in the region. Near the bottom in economic growth, yet Christie protected a tax cut for millionaires but vetoed a minimum wage hike."
"While the United States has seen its unemployment rate steadily decline, New Jersey's remains nearly two percent higher than the national average and more than a point higher than Connecticut and New York."
"Since January 2010, New Jersey has added 103,000 new private sector jobs. The last two years -- 2011 and 2012 -- have been the best two years of private sector job growth since 1999."
"Property taxes had increased 70 percent in the previous 10 years."
"New Jersey has lost over half of our pharmaceutical jobs to states you know, not low-tax states like in the South, but high-tax states like New York."
Says, "when this governor came to office, he had (an) 11 billion dollar - I call it mismanagement – deficit."
"We have a governor who's vetoed measures like increasing our minimum wage and restoring the earned income tax cut."
Says "on the state level, we spend less today than Jon Corzine spent in fiscal year 2008, five years later."

National Action Plan to Prevent Health Care-Associated Infections: Road Map to Elimination
- Action Plan Development
- Phase 1: Acute-Care Hospitals
- Phase 2: Ambulatory Surgical Centers, End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities, and Increasing Influenza Vaccination Among Health Care Personnel
- Phase 3 Long-Term Care Facilities
- State HAI Prevention Plans
Action Plan Development
In recognition of health care-associated infections (HAIs) as an important public health and patient safety issue, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) convened the Federal Steering Committee-for the Prevention of Health Care-Associated Infections (originally called the HHS Steering Committee, but was changed to reflect the addition of agencies outside of HHS). The Steering Committee's charge is to coordinate and maximize the efficiency of prevention efforts across the federal government. Members of the Steering Committee include clinicians, scientists, and public health leaders representing:
- Administration for Community Living (ACL)
- Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)
- Indian Health Service (IHS)
- National Institutes of Health (NIH)
- Office of the Secretary (OS)
- National Vaccine Program Office (NVPO)
- Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP)
- Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation (ASPE)
- Office of the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs (ASPA)
- Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC)
- U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
- U.S. Department of Labor (DOL)
- U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
The Steering Committee marshaled the extensive and diverse resources of the Department, formed public and private partnerships, and initiated discussions that identified new approaches to HAI prevention and collaborations. Along with scientists and program officials across HHS, the Steering Committee released the National Action Plan to Prevent Health Care-Associated Infections: Road Map to Elimination (HAI Action Plan). The HAI Action Plan provides a road map for preventing HAIs in acute care hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, end-stage renal disease facilities, and long-term care facilities. The HAI Action Plan also includes a chapter on increasing influenza coverage of health care personnel.
The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, on behalf of the Federal Steering Committee for the Prevention of Health Care-Associated Infections, releases the April 2013 National Action Plan to Prevent Health Care-Associated Infections: Road Map to Elimination. The latest HAI Action Plan reflects a significant update and expansion from the initial version issued in 2009. It includes new sections specific to infection reduction in ambulatory surgical centers, end-stage renal disease facilities, and long-term care facilities, as well as a section on increasing influenza vaccination of health care personnel.
- Table of Contents [PDF - 1,579 KB]
- Executive Summary [PDF - 402 KB]
- Framework [PDF - 336 KB]
- Phase One: Acute Care Hospitals
- Phase Two: Outpatient Settings and Influenza Vaccination of Health Care Personnel
- Phase Three: Long-Term Care Facilities
- Conclusion [PDF - 102 KB]
Phase One: Acute-Care Hospitals
Phase One of the HAI Action Plan addresses the most common infections in acute care inpatient settings and outlines a prioritized research agenda, an integrated information systems strategy, policy options for linking payment incentives or disincentives to quality of care and enhancing regulatory oversight of hospitals, and a national messaging and communications plan to raise awareness of HAIs among the general public and prevention strategies among health care workers:
- Acute Care Hospitals (April 2013) [PDF - 1023 KB]
- HAI Action Plan Target and Metrics lists the eight metrics with corresponding five-year goals to focus efforts in reducing health care-associated infections.
This HAI Action Plan includes five-year goals for eight specific measures of improvement in HAI prevention.
Phase Two: Ambulatory Surgical Centers, End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities, and Increasing Influenza Vaccination Among Health Care Personnel
The health care and public health communities are increasingly challenged to identify, respond to, and prevent HAIs across the continuum of settings where health care is delivered. The public health model's population-based perspective can increasingly be deployed to enhance the prevention of HAIs, particularly given the shifts in health care delivery from acute care settings to ambulatory and long-term care settings. The Steering Committee clearly articulated the need to maintain the HAI Action Plan as a "living document," developing successor plans in collaboration with public and private stakeholders to incorporate advances in science and technology, shifts in the ways health care is delivered, changes in health care system processes and cultural norms, and other factors.
Below are the latest chapters for Phase Two:
- Ambulatory Surgical Centers (April 2013) [ PDF - 302 KB]
- End-Stage Renal Disease Facilities (April 2013) [ PDF - 654 KB]
- Influenza Vaccination of Health Care Personnel (April 2013) [ PDF - 418 KB]
These chapters comprise the second phase – Phase Two – of the HAI Action Plan, extending its scope to the outpatient environment and addressing the health and safety of health care workers, as well as the risks of transmission of influenza from health care personnel to patients.
Phase Three: Long-Term Care Facilities
Since the publication of the original HAI Action Plan in 2009 which focused on the acute care setting, there has been awareness of the need for strategies to address HAIs in long-term care facilities. A growing number of individuals are receiving care in long-term care settings, such as skilled nursing facilities and nursing homes. The population in these facilities is requiring more complex medical care as a result of increased transitions between health care settings. These trends can create an increased risk for HAIs, which can worsen health status and increase health care costs. The Steering Committee chose to address HAIs in long-term care facilities for Phase Three.
- Long-Term Care Facilities (April 2013) [ PDF - 618 KB].
State Healthcare-Associated Infection Prevention Plans
The 2009 Omnibus Law required states receiving Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) Block Grant funds to certify that they will submit a plan to prevent HAIs to the Secretary of Health and Human Services by January 2010. HHS received plans from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
HHS Report to Congress: Healthcare-Associated Infections: FY 2010 State Action Plans
The report addresses the adequacy of State Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) Action Plans for achieving state and national goals for reducing HAIs. It responds to the joint explanatory statement to accompany H.R. 1105, the Omnibus Appropriations Law, 2009 (Public Law 111-8):
"…Each State plan shall be consistent with the Department of Health and Human Services' national action plan for reducing healthcare-associated infections and include measurable 5-year goals and interim milestones for reducing such infections: Provided further, That the Secretary shall conduct a review of the State plans submitted pursuant to the preceding proviso and report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate…"

You guys have games on the mind with all of this E3 business.
Not a bad price based on this walgreen's price (who knew you'd find this here?) Walgreens $24.99 These are great ideas for selling drives. Love the fact that the game does not need a cd and can run without anything plugged in.
Wow 8gb flash drive for 14.99 plus shipping. The game must be worth it because the jump drive can be bought anywhere for less.
jihoon0525 wrote:I'm interested. Does anyone have a suggestion for which game should I get? (Reviews, experience, etc.)
The only one I've played is Brothers In Arms. It's very good. A bit dated by now, but still lots of fun. It's a WW2 shooter, but it changes it up by forcing you to use your squad, cover, suppression fire, and flanking maneuvers. Lots of fun! Haven't played the others, but Splinter Cell CT got really good reviews and people I talked to seemed to like it.
i recommend clancy's splinter cell chaos I own this one it's one of my favorites
Looks like they retail for $24.99. http://www.thefind.com/software/browse-8gb-usb-pen-drive
Yes, but are they fast? How long does it take to upload/download a 1gb file to/from the drive?
Anyone have any technical specs on these Dane Elec flash drives? Do they support ReadyBoost? What kind of read/write rates on them?
While the 8 gig stick is tempting, I don't particularly want any of those games. Not woot!'s fault, but could you put some plain jane 8 gig sticks up instead?
for those who never read the descriptions of the products that you buy on woot, this may be kinda important for vista users Rainbow 6 and Brothers In Arms need to be ran under Windows XP Compatibility Mode and as an Administrator to operate properly under Vista
I was really thinking about this but you can buy all these games on steam for $9.99 (splinter cell is $5) and the thumb drive isn't worth $10 For estand Steam is a digital distribution platform you buy the game and then can download and play the game on any PC the only restriction is you have to download there client to download the game and you can only play on 1 computer at a time. http://store.steampowered.com/
My good friend plays Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and really enjoys it. The game is 12 bucks at amazon so 15 for the game plus an 8 gig USB drive sounds pretty good to me. http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Splinter-Cell-Theory-Pc/dp/B000924LG8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1244091930&sr=8-2
All of the games are available for $20 or less. Brothers in arms is $12.49 on Amazon. Otherwise, do your own research, and keep in mind that a name brand retail 8 GB flash drive will run you about $20 with shipping. Essentially, this deal is a free game with your flash drive (of course, if you don't want the games, 3 - 8 GB drives for $50 is pretty damn cheap).
I see them on Amazon for cheap too.
All excellent games IMHO. The three FPS titles all kick a$$. If you had to pick one, I'd definitely go for Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
ZealotOnAStick wrote:Anyone have any technical specs on these Dane Elec flash drives? Do they support ReadyBoost? What kind of read/write rates on them?
I'd love to have that answered....that's what speeds up Vista, right?
I've played all 4 of these. Splinter cell is the best in my opinion.

bobothn, "steam" ? can u elaborate or post a link? I am not familar. thx
Given Woot's past, if you order 3, you'll get 3 USB drives, each with the same exact game installed. If you then complain to customer service, they will tell you to get bent. Buyer beware, at least until this post gets deleted.
I just found another completely obscure site where you can purchase one of these USB games for almost the same price as woot too... Ambient Weather for $15.98?
I got 16 GB Dane Elec USB for 19$ a few weeks ago at The Source.
IGN Scores (out of 10) for the 4 games (just in case anyone wanted a general idea). Splinter Cell Chaos Theory - 9.6 Brothers in Arms - 9.1 Blazing Angels - 6.8 Rainbow 6 Lockdown - 6.5 I've played Chaos Theory (though on Xbox) and I'd say, if someone has the time to sit down and play that game (with some interest in doing it, of course) it's worth a play And an 8GB flash drive ain't bad either. Needless to say I went in for 1
splinter cell is fun if you like first-person shooters where you have to sneak around. rainbow six VEGAS was really fun in the standalone single player game, and awesome online against other real people. Since I got so much of a kick outa the vegas version, I may get this one... no experience with the other two.
http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Rainbow-Six-Lockdown-Pc/dp/B0007CQH3U $14 plus shipping http://www.amazon.com/Tom-Clancys-Splinter-Cell-Theory-Pc/dp/B000924LG8/ref=dp_cp_ob_vg_title_1 $6.98 plus shipping I haven't played either of these, but I have played Rainbow 6 Vegas and Splinter Cell Double Agent and thoroughly enjoyed both. Rainbow 6 is more of a basic fps and splinter cell a little more role playing involved fps.
Anyone know how "Blazing Angels" compares to "Duck Hunt?"
You can pick up the games on direct2drive relatively cheap: Rainbow Six: Lockdown: $19.95 Blazing Angels: $9.95 Splinter Cell: $4.95 Brothers in Arms: $9.95 The drives themselves go for about $20 minimum price. Are the drives any good? Maybe, but the download speeds are probably pretty poor.
Anyone have more info about the drives?? Speed?
wanpakumono wrote:Anyone know how "Blazing Angels" compares to "Duck Hunt?"
No light gun.
So do you have to delete the game off of the thumb drive to attain the full 8gb of storage?
A tangent - I've been buying flash memory since 1999 (SanDisk 48MB Compact Flash for $150). Bought many since then, many brands - Sandisk, Sony,Patriot, Panasonic,Kingston, Corsair, ATP, and some no-name brands. The only flash card that ever failed was Dane Electric 256MB Compact Flash circa 2003 Not sure of their quality today, but buyer beware. Losing 256MB of data is not so bad; 8GB data loss could be much worse.
For those of you who were upset that there wasn't a game for girls, you can find a game called "fashion designer" on a similar usb drive at the 3rd most obscure location for these games: GeekBro for $14.93 (shame on woot for not offering games for the fashion conscious too!)
I bought one of these flash drives without the games on it. It has worked fine but I do have 1 problem with it. The cap of the flash drive has nowhere to go. Usually you can stick it on the other side of the flash drive or the stick swings out, but on this one once you remove it you better remember where you place it. I still have the drive but no cap. So FYI its easy to loose the cap.

26. Many American veterans of the war in Vietnam have described their travels back to the country either in the mainstream media or, less professionally presented, as postings to the World Wide Web. These travelogues, which often grapple in highly personal terms with the experience of revisiting sites replete with memory and emotion, could be considered a new genre within the literature of the Vietnam-American war. See, for example, Sheehan, After the War Was Over; Paul Martin, "Land of the Descending Dragon," National Geographic Traveler, May/June 1996, 60–75; Philip Milio, "My Return to Vietnam" (http://grunt.space.swri.edu/pmilio.html, 1996); and Robert Bowley, "Vietnam Visited and Revisited" (http://www.goodnet.com/~rbowley/vietnamstory.html, 1995).

Lunawood is increasing its thermowood production capacity by investing in two new processing kilns for the plant unit located in Soinlahti, Iisalmi. With the investment the capacity of the plant will increase with 17 000 m³ a year to a total annual production of 62 000 m³. The new capacity is to be taken into use at the beginning of November 2013. This will further strengthen the company's position as the international market leader in the production of thermowood.
Jartek Oy has been chosen as the processing equipment supplier. The choice was supported by good experiences in cooperation in previous investments and the development of the thermal modification process. In addition two logistic warehouses will be constructed at the Soinlahti production unit to meet the needs of the growing production capacity. Due to the investment also the number of personnel in production will be increased by six.
The additional production will be sold on the current market in Finland and in exports mainly to central Europe. Also the Near East, Russia and Asian markets are going to be targeted by the company in the future.
At the beginning of 2012 we invested in a new line for further development and planing at Soinlahti. With the increase in thermowood capacity we will be able to benefit fully from this earlier investment, says company CEO Arto Halonen. According to Halonen, the aim of the company is to process thermowood as far as possible towards the exterior cladding, terrace and interior design product families. In his opinion the consumers are increasingly appreciative of ecological solutions where no chemicals are used in the manufacturing process.

Aviation Art: The Lighter Side
In wartime, a customized Zippo was part of an airman's identity.
- By Rebecca Maksel
- AirSpaceMag.com, September 07, 2011
Cowan's Auctions
"Over 3 million individuals spent time in Vietnam over the course of the war," writes Sherry Buchanan, "and most of them had at least one Zippo. They were all imported through the base PX [Post Exchange store for U.S. goods] and were available for $1.80. Zippos were personalized at sidewalk kiosks by special machines that could do metal engraving. They had a wide selection of designs and templates—the customer could choose one or have their own made, just like a tattoo parlor. A number of them were acid-etched at the Zippo factory in the U.S. with official military emblems and crests. Others were crudely hand etched with hand tools, drills and metal-stamping rods by the GIs themselves."
This lighter, featuring a basic parachutist's badge, was etched in Vietnam, or by the owner. The emblem of an open parachute over a pair of stylized wings indicates that the owner passed proficiency tests while assigned or attached to an airborne unit, and that he had made at least one combat parachute jump.

I still have mine & will not part with it. Prior to my shipping to 'Nam' on 5 May 69, I was assigned to the Returnee-Reassignment Center @ Ft.Lewis, Wa. We processed Vets returning from Nam, got them clean Class A uniforms to travel home in, saw to it they got a steak dinner, tickets for flights, buses etc. & transportation to Seatle. Once they showered, ate & boarded trans to Seatle-Tacoma Airport, we would kick through the discarded combat fatigues they had traveled from Nam in. Kicking through those uniforms is where I got my Zippo. I took that Zippo to 'Nam' for my tour, 69-70 with the 1st Aviation Brigade in 2 Corps & that well traveld Zippo did a second tour of 'Nam'!~I watrch for them @ estate sales & garage sales.
They are treasured items from a difficult time in our National history.

The Zippo with The Association's song title, "Never My Love" on the cap, and Snoopy on the body really got to me. These are two, very personal messages on probably the one item that soldier was allowed to personalize. It's my favorite Zippo in your collection.

I enjoyed the pictures.
Wish that I had known that Rebecca was collecting pictures of these.
My crew had a Zippo engraved for me before I left Vietnam from my first tour in 1967-68.
It is one of my most prized possessions.
If Rebecca is still collecting photos, I'd be glad to send one.
