Western Digital debuts 2TB power sipping drive
Western Digital has introduced a high-capacity drive to provide near-silent green storage for the video recorder and surveillance markets. Its WD AV-GP is a 2TB capacity GreenPower drive. WD says it consumes up to 40 per cent less power than the drives of its competitors. It is targeted towards digital video recorders, media …
Potential win ...
If it's anything like the 1Tb series 'Green' drives that I've got in my NAS box then the claims of quietness and meagre power usage are bang on the money.
In fact, the drives are so quiet that when I first fired them up I honestly thought they were DOA because I couldn't hear them spinning up. Granted, they're not the fastest drives on the planet, but they do their job with a minimum fuss. As for power draw, all I can say is that the NAS box pulls less than 25W under load and it's got two of the 1Tb 'Green' drives in it - that's good enough for me. They seem to run fairly cool as well - the NAS has a temperature controlled fan inside and it only ever really comes on when the drives are getting hammered (eg. during big file transfers and backups)
The only downside I can see is that 2Tb of data is a helluva lot of storage to potentially lose, backup regimes or no, and I'd be very wary of using one as a sole drive. But then, that's me.
I don't really care if the Seagate drives pull less power and/or are quieter - after the Barracuda firmware debacle they're off the supplier list for home and work purposes.
Wear levelling on a hard disk?
I'm puzzled by this. Surely the head never touches the data surface, and as far as I know, magnetic media don't deteriorate with repeated writes. If so, what is the purpose of pre-emptively moving the heads (or the data?) around? Presumably this does not refer to the once-every-few-seconds random idle seek that hard disks have been doing for decades to prevent contaminant build-up on tracks adjacent to a long-stationary head ... or is marketing just putting a new name on a very old feature?
@Simon Ward
'The only downside I can see is that 2Tb of data is a helluva lot of storage to potentially lose,'
But surely..Thats why your NAS box has two drives and supports mirrorring?!?
My 1TB Mirrored Drive NAS is 98% full now.. so its about time for the 2TB drives..
screw that...
.... when are the performance 2TB Drives coming? All well and good having the lean and green versions, but some of us have things like virtual machine images and video data to shift around in a hurry...
Roll on Spinpoint F1 2TB...
Cool, but I bet the damn thing still won't work in hardly any PVR / DVR boxes. (Not WD's fault, but bloody annoying none the less).
I'm trying to upgrade the storage on my FTA Satbox recorder and I'm now on the 4th different make & model of hard drive because none of the new ones are detected by the satbox. This seems to be quite a common problem (for DTT recorder boxes as well).
Re: @Simon Ward
"But surely..Thats why your NAS box has two drives and supports mirrorring?!?"
Yes, but a 2-disk NAS isn't the sort of thing your average Joe Random Luser is going to have, is it?
Buy 2
All my important data used to be on mirrored hard drives. One died ... I replaced it ... no big deal.
Now I switched to syncing once every 24 hours with an external drive.
When I have to travel I take my laptop and external hard drive.
They say if your data isn't in three places its already gone. Maybe its time for me to invest in NAS?
Does IntelliPower vary spin speed?
The story originally said IntelliPower varies spin speed. Some commentators said it doesn't. We checked and Western Digital doesn't actually say it does that although the impression has been given that spin speed variation is the secret sauce in IntelliPower.
In fact, WD is not transparent here, not even supplying a spin speed range or number at all for drives with IntelliPower. It appears that within a WD model range which has IntelliPower the spin speed might vary with the drive's capacity.
We've asked WD to clear this up. If it tells us what the IntelliPower score is then we'll pass that information on.
Is it me or were there 3 speeds: Green barracuda, greenpower and the AV-GP, with the AV-GP using more power than the barracuda?
If Im right then the only benefit is the quietness? But then it has already been said that the current drives are pretty quiet anyway...
As for NAS - there are many 'home-use' 2 and 4 bay NAS boxes on the market for under £150/$2xx.. I have had the Dlink DNS 323 for a few years now... the main point is that a NAS box is for disk redundancy and not a standalone backup solution! You STILL need a backup of the NAS data (if you want to survive data curruption/unit failure/physical damage etc.)

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A day after Dan Snyder and the Redskins presented the new Original Americans Foundation to Commissioner Roger Goodell and the owners, it was Goodell's turn to address the Redskins name.
"We have been listening but so has Dan," Goodell said.
"That was the point of his presentation, that he has been listening. He's visited, I think, 26 different tribes. He has been working very closely with them. He's not only listened, he's learned and now he's taking action."
He also made it clear that the team brought this to the table.
"It was a presentation completely by the Redskins, it was their initiative. I think the membership appreciated hearing that."
As far as the name is concerned, Goodell definitely understands the sensitivity of the subject.
"This is something that has been discussed for decades now," he said. "It comes up every once and while and there are people that have strong views of it."
Goodell also noted that one thing is clear in the public opinion and the polls, "90 percent of the Redskin fans support the name, they believe it's something that demonstrates pride and the general population also supports it overwhelming."
Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen also said Tuesday that the support from the other owners is positive.
"The league has been very supportive of what our direction is and they'll continue," Allen said.
"We've already heard from other teams who all want to jump on the foundations bandwagon."

Husband speaks about wife's injuries after she's crushed by car
Updated On: Feb 14 2013 12:17:40 AM EST
An emotional husband spoke with Channel 4 Wednesday night after his wife was injured when a car she was working on fell on top of her Tuesday afternoon.
Patricia Ann Rempe is listed in critical condition at Shands Hospital after the accident that happened outside of her Hardeeville Court home.
Rempe's husband Brian Rempe said that he and his wife had been working on restoring a 1971 Camaro together.
"We've been together for almost twenty years now," said Rempe, talking about his wife Patricia. "This is hard on me. We'll get through it and we'll move forward. To me this will make our relationship stronger."
On Tuesday, the jack stands that were holding the Camaro while Patricia worked underneath failed.
"I was at work at the time when it happened. A friend of mine had actually called me at work," said Rempe. "She started helping me about a week ago, and I asked her if she wouldn't mind helping me. I went out there and showed her what to do. She was doing it fine, she worked on it all week last week, and just started this week during her spare time."
Rempe told Channel 4 that doctors are optimistic Patricia will make a full recovery. As of Wednesday night, she was still listed in critical condition.
"It's just a waiting game pretty much right now," said Rempe. "She has nothing, no internal injuries whatsoever. They are just trying to get everything back together for her. She'll be fine."
Neighbors said they are helping the Rempe family. They are all taking turns cooking the family dinner so Brian can spend more time at the hospital and take care of his children.
"It's definitely appreciated. I love all my neighbors. They been wonderful," said Rempe.
Channel 4 met with professional mechanic Aaron Nelson with Aaron's Car Care. He gave advice about getting under your car, if you're not an expert.
"A lot of the jacks and implements that come with your automobiles, they're not designed for you to crawl under the car and work on it," said Nelson. "They're designed merely to change a tire on your car."
Nelson showed Channel 4 what type of equipment people should be using. If a car owner plans to get under their car from home, Nelson had some important advice.
"If you're going to jack a car up and are trying to do something at home, do it on the concrete," said Nelson. "Solid ground, good surface, level surface. Use a hydraulic jack. Most of these jacks can be bought pretty inexpensively now."

7 February 2008 -- Constellation Energy said its CER Generation, LLC unit is buying the 80 percent complete Hillabee Energy Center, a 774 MW natural gas-fired power project near Alexander City, Ala. The project is expected to be operational in 2010 when construction and permitting are finalized.
CER Generation is buying the project from Calpine for $155 million (or $200/kW) as part of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Calpine emerged from Chapter 11 protection late last month. The auction resulted in bids that exceeded the initially-proposed sale price of $122.5 million (or $158/kW).
Hillabee is a combined-cycle generating facility driven by two Siemens-Westinghouse 501G combustion turbines. Calpine initiated construction activities at the site in 2001 but placed the project on hold due to adverse market conditions.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Only one point separates Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins from her fellow finalists on "Dancing With the Stars."
Football star Donald Driver and actor William Levy come into Tuesday's season finale tied with 59 points. Jenkins has a perfect score of 60.
Each must perform one last dance before a new champion is crowned. Music for their final routines wasn't provided until after Monday's episode, so they had less than 24 hours to prepare their
show-closing numbers.
Viewer votes combined with judges' scores will determine who takes home the ABC show's mirror ball trophy.
The other Season 14 contestants - Martina Navratilova, Gavin DeGraw, Jack Wagner, Jaleel White, Sherri Shepherd, Melissa Gilbert, Roshon Fegan, Maria Menounos and Gladys Knight - were
eliminated during previous episodes.

Everyone planning to set up a new corporation or LLC faces the question of what state should they form the entity in. You read on the Internet or see ads on television about the "wonders" of incorporating in some particular state. The half of the truth that the proponents generally don't tell you is what can later bite you.
Buying a Franchise--What Are You Getting For Your Money?
Every day people eager to own a business invest $500,000 to a million dollars in franchises where the FDD said the top of the range for "estimated initial investment" wasunder $250,000-and where the "initial franchise fee" is only about $35,000. When buying a franchise, the first question they should be asking is what are they getting for all that money?
Buying a Franchise - Beware of Empty Promises
If you are considering buying a franchise, you need to beware of empty promises from the franchisor. Over the last few years, franchise agreements have become extremely one-sided. Recently, many franchisors are making no enforceable promises to provide franchisees with any support or assistance after their business opens.
Franchise Dispute Resolution - Is Arbitration Best?
When reviewing a business contract or franchise agreement for a client, we often read the dispute resolution section first. That section describes the process the parties will use to resolve disputes and what will happen if either party decides to file a lawsuit. Many agreements provide that any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration, a private dispute resolution process where the parties hire an arbitrator to act as a private judge and resolve their dispute. Generally, the arbitrator can do every thing that a judge can do including deciding pre-trial issues, hearing evidence and deciding the case. An arbitrator can order the parties to pay damages, fines and legal fees. One of the major advantages of arbitration is that, generally, the parties may not appeal the arbitrator's decision, meaning for better or worse, the outcome is final.
Problems With Your Franchisor--Beware Of Signing Amendments
If you are experiencing problems with your franchisor, beware of signing amendments to your contract or any other document purporting to resolve the problems. It is common for franchisors to give you a small concession to "help" you-but to extract a general release of claims and various factual "representations" in return.
When Buying a Franchise, Think Before You Convert
When buying a franchise, think before you convert your existing business to a franchise. If you have an existing business, you may discover opportunities to convert your business to a franchise--to get the benefits of a "well known brand", to gain "purchasing power", or to gain advertising and support. You may even be tempted because of the attractiveness of the package.
Why Have a Corporation or LLC if You Don't Use It?
Why would you spend the time and money to set up a legal entity--a corporation or LLC (Limited Liability Company)--if you did not plan to use it? It seems that almost weekly we learn that people have a legal entity they paid for--but they never took the steps necessary to properly transfer their business or its assets into the entity.
Buying a Franchise--Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics
In buying a franchise, beware of the lies, damned lies and statistics--about 90% success rates, among other things. At some point in the process of buying a franchise, someone will probably tell you that 90% of all franchises succeed. That person is lying. Years ago, the Department of Commerce produced a "study" with that statistic and unscrupulous franchisors and franchise brokers have been relying on it ever since.
Franchisor Dream Dinners Caught By Washington
Franchisor Dream Dinners caught by Washington. Dream Dinners been caught violating franchise laws. Janet Sparks of Blue MauMau reports that the Washington Department of Financial Institutions has obtained a "consent order" from Dream Dinners based on its solicitation of franchisees during a time when it was not registered to offer or sell franchises. The consent order also addresses other issues.
Buying a Franchise - "I should never have bought it"
At least weekly we hear from a franchisee, after buying a franchise, that "I should never have bought it." That realization stings. It signals that the honeymoon has ended and the spell cast by the sales consultant has worn off. Frequently, it signals the impending economic death of the franchisee-and the ultimate "death by a thousand cuts" of the franchisor.

Review: Blackstar Amplification ID:100TVP Head
May 08, 2013 at 11:54am
BruceBurt said: "Can I PLEASE hear some clean sounds from this amp... no I mean CLEAN SOUNDS, not just "drive" sounds from the "clean" (?) channel...."
Bruce, this problem is rampant with "reviews" these days. More often than not, it's some knucklehead playing totally distorted sounds as fast as he can, giving you zero idea of what the amp, guitar, or processor is capable of doing.
I'm not specifically picking on Paul here, he's a fine guitarist. But he's as guilty as everybody else is of this crime. Matter of fact, if I'm looking at one of his guitar reviews, I'll generally fast forward to about three quarters of the way through his review where he's at least a little more likely to be using it in a clean mode for a couple of seconds.
So come on Paul- step up to the plate! You can help turn this knucklehead trend around since so many people watch your reviews. Be daring- start out your reviews playing clean, slow chords so that we can actually hear THE GUITAR or THE AMP, not your amazing licks.
May 08, 2013 at 3:52pm
Actually, I enjoy the chops, and in fact, the chops really let the amp shine even better. BUT ... along with the chops, can we hear a little Sultans of Swing, some Andy Summers (Police) some hot country tele, maybe a Joe Pass solo... hey I'd even want to hear the guitar part from a Cyndi Lauper song - I want to know how the amp will deliver when I have to play these other styles at a wedding, or with my cover band.
Oh by the way, I wrote to Blackstar asking about MIDI implementation and got the "wrong" answer (as in - not the answer I'd hoped for) as far as how the amp treats continuous controller #7 (volume). I was hoping that a foot controller sending CC #7 would act like a pedal foot controller, post distortion and before effects. Apparently, if I understand the answer I was given, it's as thought the controller does what the VOLUME knob does - in other words, your HIGH GAIN sounds will be really loud with the toe down and the clean sounds will not be loud enough with the toe down.
Please someone clarify this! This is a major deal breaker for an amp I would otherwise buy right this minute.
March 06, 2013 at 10:21pm
Can I PLEASE hear some clean sounds from this amp... no I mean CLEAN SOUNDS, not just "drive" sounds from the "clean" (?) channel.... Really, I love the IDEA of a programmable amp that can be controlled with a MIDI foot controller - but the burning question is - can I play a gig with a cover band - a wedding, say... Can I get EVERY sound that a guitar player in a working band will need to be able to get? You scrolled through the voicings, and I was waiting to hear the "clean" channels, but they weren't really clean at all - just "less distorted." Can a MidI footcontroller control VOLUME the way a master foot volume pedal in an effects loop would? Absolutely essential questions yet unanswered.
Would be nice to see an effects loop in this thing as well. there are plenty of us who like to use noise reduction or say ... a harmonizer or something like that.
February 27, 2013 at 1:08pm
Good guitar player Paul.
This amp sounds good. He didn't really mention if all those different features are foot-switchable. I wouldn't want to have to turn a nob everytime I wanted to change something.

Review about Badly Drawn boy songs
Where I´ve been!!! | Reviewer: koyak!------ About the song Silent Sigh performed by Badly Drawn boy
Just heard this song today, on my car, early in the morning.
Its great!! Could hear it all day long. And suddenly you are on my mind, again. Good memories, short is the love and the pain longlast. Wish you where here!!!. Sorry about my english, my grammar. I´m from Mexico City. Hey there!! Have a nice day, here and in the outside world!!
Henry Poole Is Here | Reviewer: rod------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy
I came to this song through the closing scene in the movie Henry Poole Is Here and the first half of the song, which is positive, fits the mood at the end of the movie perfectly. Beautifull song, would have been even better if it didn't turn negative in the second half.
Nick Hornby is a genius | Reviewer: Rhiannon------ About the song A Minor Incident performed by Badly Drawn boy
Maybe you should try reading the book, Sophie. Anyways, as for the line "Remember that I'll always love you", if you recall, it comes at the point where he is reading his mother's suicide note. So, it isn't to do with anything mushy, and the soundtrack was actually made by Badly Drawn Boy SPECIFICALLY for this movie.
Awesome | Reviewer: Julio------ About the song Silent Sigh performed by Badly Drawn boy
this is the best song i`d ever heard, it transmits something to you, i dont know what but it is a type of mixture between, the present and the future world, with the remember of the past and the present, been at the future percepction,and some crazy notes.
Haunted by this song and lyrics until I located it... | Reviewer: WWII baby------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy
I was born in 1941..a War baby, not a boomer so I knew all of the stars, etc.in the film industry who passed on in 2007. I, too, an avid TCM fan was caught by surprise when the Memorial was featured in December in between films. Thanks to Google I found it and now I can purchase the CD. The day I first heard it I burst into tears..especially touching for me when Jane Wyman slipped through the door...they all "walked away" , but we have their recorded talents forever. I was moved in the same way when "Stop All the Clocks" was quoted in "Four Weddings and a Funeral". Both of these express for us in words and music what we feel so deeply
and are lacking in such a talent to create for ourselves.
Fantastic | Reviewer: Riley------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy
I, like most it appears, also first heard this great track on TCM during their tribute to those lost over the course of the year. I recognised Badly Drawn Boy's voice from the get. This is a wonderfully written song. Bravo to TCM for featuring it.
Touching and very moving | Reviewer: Margo------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy
I am an avid TCM Fan; however, after hearing Promises and the tribute to some of the greats in Hollywood and abroad, I found myself waiting for the next tribute just to hear the song. It touched me everytime and I realized that I had tears in my eyes, each and everytime. I lost my mother in law in December and everytime I heard it, I also thought of her. TCM did a magnificent job and thank you, Badly Drawn Boy, for such a wonderful gift.
One to remember | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy
This will undoubtedly be one of those songs that I will remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard it for the first time. I too heard it for the first time on TCM.......what a gracious way to pay tribute to those who have passed and contributed to our entertainment throughout the years. Very moving lyrics paired with a perfectly eloquent music ensemble. Way to go Badly Drawn Boy.
Love this | Reviewer: Anonymous------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy
I heard this song on TCM and just had to find out who it was. I thought it sounded a little like Chris Rea. Great song!!! Now I just have to have a copy, so off to see if I can buy it.
Had to Walk Away | Reviewer: Lora------ About the song Promises performed by Badly Drawn boy
This song is a beautiful backdrop to the imagery and for the tribute to all the great movie industry greats who passed on in 2007. Combined, the melody and video form an audio-visual tribute that is a splendid work of art, and I'm sure those to whom it is dedicated and their families are greatly honored by it.
I lost a very dear elderly loved one in January '07, who happened to be an entertainer for 72 years, and I had been grappling with this loss for a long time, particularly during December. As I watched and listened to the lyrics while '07 faded away and '08 dawned, I felt he was singing the words to me, since I had to do just that -- walk away -- the hardest thing in the world when you love someone whom you don't want to release but feel you have no other choice. We had exchanged diamond rings and our "promise" was "forever" but in the end, there was nothing I could do but walk away.
Thank you for this beautiful composition and thank you TCM for the beautiful tribute, which I'm sure has helped others through transitions in their lives.

I love you. This site, and the pictures are magnificent.
Thank you!!
On the left side of Broadway is the porch-lined facade of the Grand Union Hotel, first built in 1802 and demolished in 1953. This hotel was the scene of the celebrated "Second Battle of Saratoga" in 1877. Joseph Seligman, the Wall Street banker, was refused accommodations when he arrived because the hotel's new owner, Judge Henry Hilton, had decided to bar Jews from his establishment. This became a major scandal and the first major incident of social anti-Semitism in America.
Those other plants with the palms are rubber trees (Ficus elastica). Don't get too close to them or they can make the back of your knee itchy.
What on earth are they selling in the Novelty Shop? The fellow walking through the door appears to be hiding his face, while the elderly gent outside is straining his neck to get a peek at the Novelty Shop merchandise without being spotted by the employees.
It seems that at the turn of the 20th century, palms of some kind or another were de rigueur for hotels and even office buildings. We have a lovely example of this here on the long porch of Congress Hall. I see that there are also what look like some rhododendrons thrown in for good measure as well.
Interesting Corinthian columns and arches as well.
Is the architectural feature on the front referred to as a portico? It is a grand looking element of the building.

Linking the various devices to the Elan g! processor and touchpanels required the installation of a new highway of high-speed cabling, which Digital Home Technologies fished behind the walls and underneath the floors during the renovation. "We ran a bundle of two Category 5e and two RG6 quad-shielded coax so that the house could handle a variety of technologies," explains Goldenne. As the fishing crew discovered, this wasn't the first time the home had been extensively wired and outfitted with technology. Throughout the house keypads had been wired via low-voltage cabling to a now-discontinued lighting control system. Digital Home Technologies was able to use some of the old wiring for other purposes, but replaced the old lighting system with a wireless Lutron RadioRA system, "which could be easily integrated with the g! home control system," says Goldenne.
Also installed previously—and still functioning, albeit very poorly—was a central vacuum system. Over the years the ductwork had cracked in a few spots, causing a dramatic reduction in suction power. Digital Home Technologies repaired the cracks and replaced the old central vac unit in the garage with two new units from M&S that would provide enough power to efficiently clean every square inch of the house.
Finally, Wi-Fi communication within the residence was strengthened with the addition of five Wi-Fi access points from Pakedge.
After the home's existing technologies had been updated, the homeowner and Goldenne focused on new additions that made sense for the family. Motorized shades on the east side of the house would help optimize the efficiency of the home's Aprilaire heating and cooling system by insulating the house from heat gain and cold outdoor air. Automating the shades to descend and rise on a schedule would also promote better sleep for the homeowners. "If the shades are up, the sun wakes me at 4:15 a.m. in the summer," says the owner. "Now I can wake up at a reasonable hour because the shades are always down when then should be."
New TVs were on the top of the family's list of gotta-haves, too. "The owners had been watching analog TVs in their previous home, so digital was a huge eye-opener for them," says Goldenne. Digital Home Technologies outfitted several rooms with either LG or Pioneer flat-panel, high-def displays, all of which are tied to a matrix switcher from Atlona. This component, which is located in an equipment rack in a lower-level utility room, delivers HDMI signals to every TV over Category 5 cabling from components including an Apple TV and two high-def cable boxes, which are also tucked neatly into the downstairs equipment rack. This arrangement keeps the rooms free of A/V clutter, as do the Artison soundbar speakers that were custom-sized to fit the width of each TV perfectly.
Each soundbar combines a left, center and right speaker into one slim housing. Designed to attach to the bottom of a TV, the soundbars saved Digital Home Technologies the hassle of trying to integrate three separate speakers into the architecture and design of each entertainment space. Three of the Artison soundbars are complemented by two in-ceiling SpeakerCraft speakers, placed at the rear of the room to produce a complete surround-sound experience.
Most of the media areas are designed for casual viewing or music listening. The owners can choose what they want to watch or listen to before they even sit down by touching a few buttons on a TS7 touchpanel mounted near each entrance. For on-the-couch control, handheld Elan HR2 remotes are always handy.
When the family is in the mood for some serious entertainment, the lower level offers several options: a rec room with a billiards table and 70-inch Pioneer Elite TV, a state-of-the-art home theater and a pro-grade golf simulation room. The media system in the rec room has a slightly different arrangement than that of the viewing areas upstairs. There's a similar Artison soundbar attached to the bottom of the TV, but instead of the typical surround-sound speakers to complement it, the space features six in-ceiling speakers, installed so that
the entire room is blanketed with sound rather than having the sound directed toward a specific seating area.
The home theater is where realistic, enveloping surround sound does its best work. Here, Digital Home Technologies went all Paradigm, tucking seven speakers and two subwoofers from the Canadian manufacturer behind a 133-inch Screen Innovations screen and Cinemacoustics acoustical wall paneling. Both the screen and fabric paneling feature a weave that allows the sound from the speakers to flow into the room without any degradation.
A JVC DLA-X9 video projector fires video onto the screen, mostly content from a local Samsung Blu-ray player. Simply turning on the player via an Elan HR2 remote also commands the Lutron switches to dim the lights, the Integra surround-sound receiver to activate and the JVC projector to starting working its Hollywood magic.
The third, and most unique entertainment area, is a golf simulation room. Starting as an empty 29-by-14-foot space, it was converted into a room where the homeowner can practice, play and perfect his swing year round. The room underwent a dramatic renovation, including the installation of specialty wall paneling that's designed to absorb hits from errant golf balls, adding a slope to the floor and installing a high-tech training and simulation system. The system, designed by Foresight Sports (and ran just under $20,000 for the equipment), includes software that runs on a PC that's dedicated to the room, a business-grade Epson video projector and a screen that was custom-sized for the room. A camera watches and records the owner's swing for proper alignment and technique.
Located in the far corner of the lower level, the golf simulation room is set apart from the rest of the house, but Digital Home Technologies made sure that the owner could still keep in close contact with everything and everyone upstairs. The same PC that runs the simulation software can bring up the Elan g! control menu, giving the owner full access to all of the systems in the house. A 50-inch LG TV mounted to the wall, meanwhile, ties into the same system that feeds video from a rack of components to every display in the house.
And, of course, there's the owner's cell phone. Thanks to the Wilson Electronics system that got this whole high-tech renovation started, there's a strong signal on the course, outside on the beach or anywhere inside the house. Good communication, it seems, was the best precursor to all things high-tech in this comfortable, efficient, entertaining, automated home.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says the worst attack
in Iraq in more than two years shows "the hateful and destructive agenda" of those who want to slow progress in the country.
Two suicide car bombs exploded outside the Justice Ministry and city government offices in downtown Baghdad on Sunday. The blasts killed at least 136 people.
Iraqi leaders say the attacks were intended to disrupt political progress ahead of elections in January.
Obama also says the bombings are an attempt to derail progress. He says the attacks "are no match for the courage and resilience" of Iraqis.
He says the U.S. is committed to help Iraq achieve peace, security and justice.
Obama called Iraqi leaders on Sunday to offer condolences.

Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Ancol Ergo Palm Pin Brush
|Adjusts to fit your hand and is easy to use
|Brush fits over hand. Velcro to adjust so kids can use too. Good brush but need to use carefully on puppy as pins harsh.
|This brush is flexible so it follows my dogs shape easily. The pins are quite long and have little balls on the end of each one so it doesn't scratch. You can also use it at any angle, the fur is easy to get off. Best brush I have bought and I have a few.
|Really easy to use with or without the ergo grip. Introduced it to pup and still have problems grooming over his head but he settles immediately when using it on his body. Be careful to be gentle though as the pins are long and too much pressure will push them into skin. I think this is good as I won't have to be in a hurry to replace it as pup and his coat grow.
|This brush really does the job removes loose hair our puppy love it very easy to clean Eas grip handle very helpful

For Speaking Inquiries: 910-256-3495
What you can expect when you book me and work with my team:
I'm a scuba diver, motorcycle rider, cancer survivor, husband, dad, New York Times bestselling author, and a speaker. But my greatest passion is seeing people become leaders in every area of their lives—especially those who don't believe they have any inherent leadership skills. I've had the opportunity to help this happen in some of the largest corporations in the world, such as: I've sold over 2 million books . I've spoken to over 2 million people, and I'm one of the youngest speakers ever inducted into the Speaker Hall of Fame (CPAE). But that's far from what I'm most proud of. The greatest satisfaction of my life is getting e-mails and letters from people who say my speaking or books helped change their life. I would love the opportunity to do the same for your organization.
I understand your world and the world of leadership like few other speakers. I practice what I teach. One of the things that differentiates my work is that it stems from experience as a business owner, association and board leader. And I'm still studying, researching and applying what I learn about leadership today, both with my clients and in the organizations in which I am privileged to have a leadership role. I'll create a talk for your audience with diligence and deliver it with heart.
Up, Down or Sideways: How to Succeed When Times are Good Bad or Inbetween
"Mark Sanborn was absolutely fantastic. His talk was one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of listening too. The response I have been getting back from the team has been extremely positive. Thank you again for all your help. This was one of the best investments we made into our national meeting this year."
"I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you again for speaking to the associates at TFS. It's been nearly six months since you were here and people are still talking about you and the ideas you shared. You really struck a chord with everyone here and I wanted to once again express my appreciation."
"I wanted to thank you for presenting at our kick off meeting today. You really hit a home run, perfect ending to a perfect day. Spot on with the theme of our kick off, and I could tell that the group took some key takeaways from your message that they will put into motion to make positive change and impact personally and professionally!"
"Thank you for helping make this a great conference for our member-owners. 100% of my feedback from members, vendors and staff was that you and your presentation were absolutely outstanding. I particularly appreciate and liked the written materials that you provided and the structure of the wrap-‐up session that you coordinated. Thanks again and I look forward to our 4th engagement."
"I feel that Mark is, by far, the best speaker that we have had. He held our audience's attention and we had more employees stay for his presentation than ever before."
"You were a big hit! People are still talking about you! I received quite a few emails and personal congrats on my selection of you to speak at the National Sales Meeting."
Wow… just experienced an amazing keynote address from Mark Sanborn, author of The Fred Factor. I would strongly recommend the tape and book for anyone who desires to be a leader, or is called to be a follower. Some of the most powerful concepts you will ever hear, in language that a pre-schooler could understand. Incredible stuff. Across the board, I think it's quite possibly the most challenging GMA I've ever attended. The bar has definitely been raised!
The Mark Sanborn keynote address was a highlight. If you heard Ken Blanchard last year, this was at least as good. It's been a good week. This has definitely been one of the better years.
Check Mark's availability (and if Mark isn't available, we have team members who can present his material).

When we go through stress, our body undergoes a lot of physical changes such as increase in heart rate, perspiration and most significantly, fast and shallow breathing. As reducing heart rate and perspiration is not something that we have control over, we can however control and manipulate our breathing pattern. So, at times of stress, if we practice slow deep breathing, which is opposite of fast shallow breathing, we can relieve stress. So whenever you experience stress, just make it a point to take slow deep breaths and you'll immediately see your stress vanishing.
Of course you need not wait for stress to attack you to practice deep breathing. The benefits of slow deep breathing are way beyond reducing your stress levels. Some of them are:
- Optimum functioning of organs due to increase in oxygen content in the blood. Most diseases are simply due to poor functioning or organs. Due to increase in the oxygen content of the blood, the efficiency of organs is improved considerably.
- Optimum functioning of nervous system for the same above reason. The result is calm and efficient mind. If your mind is calm and relaxed, your body is relaxed.
- Improvement in digestive functions because of the massage of abdominal organs due to diaphragmic breathing.
- Slows down ageing. If you look around our planet, species that breathe slowly have longer age spans than fast breathers.

Hello dolls,
This week's challenge was to write an empowering song, incorporating the lyric: "kiss the flame."
Scotty was the runner up, with what ended up being call "Reign."
Brian was the hook challenge winner with his song, and I think made a big mistake passing on Nick. Nick is a strong contributor, and able to put his personal feelings aside in a co-write. But I guess Brian and Jes held a grudge against him, and I think they suffered for it in the writing session. Brian definitely felt the pressure to write a good track and left Jes to write lyrics alone. A banging track is great, but if the content is lame, it won't save a song. In this case, the track wasn't banging -- and it didn't end up being Pink-esque. I liked that they used her as a focus to write with, but the track fell short of its goal, had no edge, and it felt sort of light, especially when paired with lyrics that just didn't have any edge or
This was a topic that both Brian and Jes felt strongly about. Both had terrible personal tragedies that they wanted to write about and heal. Those songs work very well, just think of most of Pink's songs, including one of her latest, "F--ing Perfect." The difference is her lyrics hit hard and say the truth on secrets people keep, and while Jes did try to be more poetic and metaphoric, it managed to not say a lot. It did not hit you in the guts and make you feel like a burden had been lifted by the end of it. So far, I think Brian is a better lyricist than Jes, and I was surprised he left it all to her. If they had teamed up, I feel it would have gone better. Instead they ended up with a watered down track and an angst-lite lyric. It was pleasant to listen to, but just not a smash.

It Used To Be Better
13 people found the following review helpful
Posted by RubiesHealth on Oct 08, 2012
Purchased at iHerb
I would have rated it 5 stars last year. Sometime this year (2012), the formula changed and the powder is no longer the strong bright green it used to be. It seems the barley grass component has either oxidized or reduced in proportion to brown rice and tapioca starch. I reordered and hope this was just a batch problem but unfortunately the new batch was just the same. I have since switched to NOW 100% Barley Grass Juice powder and true enough, the pure juice powder is rich bright green in color. Without filler starch and brown rice, NOW packaging size has to be kept small to prevent clumping. Price is inevitably higher. But it is well worth!
Balance Your PH

Green Magma has helped me to no longer worry about some foods causing me to get hives. It balances your PH so your body isn't so acidic, it becomes more alkaline. It also allows me to not feel sore muscles when I work out or do more exercise than normal. My 60 year old husband cuts wood for our woodburner and the next day never feels sore or achy like he use to before starting on Green Magma.

Yeah, I've been waiting for someone to come forward and say something about this stuff. I've experienced such tremendous improvements in my health and vitality from using it that it has become the backbone of my regimen. I am one who doesn't like all those green food mixtures of extracts from many different sources cos you never get to know which component is producing what effect on your health. I like having my supplements in their whole form so as to properly analyze the effect each one has on my health and, more importantly, to get the synergy from the full spectrum of nutrients in each one. As such, this product has won my loyalty; it is hands-down the best (whole) green superfood there is -- gently detoxifies as well as strengthens the body all round. I take it twice a day, before breakfast and lunch respectively (first-timers should start out once a day for the first week).

It's no mystery that most of us don't get our quota of live foods in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables. Much less from organic sources with live enzymes in place. Dr. Hagiwara's Green Magma makes up for all the veggie's you should have eaten, and more. Plus, you get iherb's great price and great customer service. Go Green. Go Green Magma. And save some $$$ Green when you shop to iherb.com!

Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., has endorsed a candidate in a high-profile Senate race.
But that candidate is not Richard Mourdock, who defeated Lugar in Indiana's Republican primary election.
Sen. Scott Brown, R-Mass., announced Tuesday that Lugar has endorsed him in his contest against Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren.
According to various media reports, Lugar said in a statement that Brown has established himself as a Senate leader who can be counted upon to rise above partisanship and do the right thing.
The six-term senator lauded Brown for supporting one of Lugar's chief legislative efforts, the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia known as START.
In a Monday debate, Warren named Lugar as a Republican she could work with in the Senate. She was quickly reminded by moderator David Gregory that Lugar will not be in the Senate after year's end.
Lugar has stopped short of formally endorsing Mourdock in a manner similar to that for Brown. He said the night of his primary-election defeat, I hope my opponent prevails in November and that Republicans win a majority of seats in the Senate.
Lugar did introduce Mourdock to Republican senators at a Capitol Hill luncheon in July. But he told Indianapolis blogger and commentator Abdul Hakim-Shabazz in a September interview that he did not intend to actively campaign for Mourdock, who is running against Democrat Joe Donnelly and Libertarian Andrew Horning in the Nov. 6 election. Polls have indicated Donnelly and Mourdock are running even.
During the primary-election battle, Mourdock criticized Lugar for backing START. After his loss, Lugar said Mourdock's stated opposition to bipartisanship is not conducive to problem solving and governance.
Stutzmans house
Rep. Marlin Stutzman, R-3rd, is among only four freshmen congressmen to buy a house in the Washington, D.C., area, according to a recent report by The Hill newspaper.
Stutzman's Democratic opponent in the Nov. 6 election is trying to turn that purchase into a campaign issue.
In my opinion, purchasing a home as a freshman indicates an arrogant assumption that the people will blindly return one to Washington, Kevin Boyd said Monday.
Boyd said a House seat is a temporary role that one enters with the understanding that one does not need permanent headquarters in Washington.
In response, Stutzman said Tuesday: In order for me to be an active father and husband, my family has decided to have our home in LaGrange County and a house in Virginia. In D.C., I see no reason to hang out with the lobbyist crowd when I can have dinner with my family as often as possible.
The home is in Alexandria, Va. In an interview published last December by The Journal Gazette, Stutzman said he and his wife, Christy, wanted their two sons back home and around the farm during the summer months and then school out here (in Alexandria).
The Hill reported Saturday that some of the 95 freshmen – of which 87 are Republicans – live in their offices when the House is in session.
In addition to Stutzman, The Hill said freshmen with mortgages in the Washington area include another Hoosier, Rep. Larry Bucshon, R-8th, and Reps. Scott Rigell, R-Va., and Rob Woodall, R-Ga. An aide to Woodall said he has a 380-square-foot efficiency condo.
The Hill collected the information from House members' financial disclosure forms. The newspaper noted that members do not have to provide information about rental properties.
Boyd pointed out that when Stutzman sought the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in 2010, he ran a TV ad in which a narrator called Stutzman a fourth-generation farmer who, unlike his opponents, has never had an address in Washington, D.C.
Gregg, Pence here
Fort Wayne's Downtown Rotary Club has special October programs booked featuring gubernatorial candidates.
Democratic candidate John Gregg is scheduled for Oct. 15; Republican candidate Mike Pence is scheduled for Oct. 29.
The club meets at noon at Parkview Field. To RSVP or for more information, call club secretary Jane Wilkes at 260-267-6540 or email email@example.com.
Whitko candidates
The Whitko Board of School Trustees will hold a special session at 7 p.m. Oct. 15 at the Whitko Administration Office in Pierceton to allow the public to meet the candidates running for Whitko school board positions in the Nov. 6 general election.
Board candidates will discuss their views on issues facing Whitko Community Schools; their terms begin Jan. 1.
Candidates include Joe Begley, running unopposed for District 3; and Georgia Tenney and Phil Menzie vying for one seat in District 1.
Dan Stockman of The Journal Gazette contributed to this column.


text: Woman accused of NYC subway hate crime murder Print article Send a Tip AFP 12/30/2012 5:53:55 AM A 31-year-old New York woman was scheduled to appear before a judge Sunday after being charged with murder as a hate crime for shoving a Hindu man to his death in front of an oncoming subway train.Erika Menendez of the Bronx borough was motivated by hatred of Muslims and Hindus, according to the Queens District Attorney's Office."I pushed a Muslim off the train tracks because I hate Hindus and Muslims. Ever since 2001 when they put down the twin towers, I've been beating them up," she told police.Menendez, who is awaiting arraignment in Queens Criminal Court, faces from 25 years to life in prison if convicted.The victim, 46-year-old Sunando Sen, was born in India and raised Hindu, a roommate told The New York Times.The incident took place late Thursday at a station on the number 7 line in Queens.Menendez -- who was speaking to herself as she paced along the platform, according to witnesses -- pushed the man as the train was pulling into the station. He apparently had his back to Menendez and did not see her.Police released surveillance camera video footage via Twitter showing a woman running from the scene."The defendant is accused of committing what is every subway commuter's worst nightmare -- being suddenly and senselessly pushed into the path of an oncoming train," Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said in a statement."The victim was allegedly shoved from behind and had no chance to defend himself. Beyond that, the hateful remarks allegedly made by the defendant and which precipitated the defendant's actions can never be tolerated by a civilized society."Sen's death was eerily similar to that of a 58-year-old man killed on December 3 when he was pushed onto the tracks during a fight with a deranged man at a Manhattan subway station. The assailant, later identified as 30-year-old Naeem Davis, has been charged with murder. Davis is homeless.A New York Post front page picture of the man on the tracks a split second before he was killed by the oncoming train provoked public fury as to why no one helped him -- and why the tabloid newspaper published the photo.Several million people use the New York City subway system every day, but incidents of this kind are rare.Before the December 3 death, the last time someone was pushed onto the rails and hit by a train was in 2010. The woman survived.Thursday night's incident appeared to have scared many New York subway riders as they kept closer to the walls as trains rolled into the station."It's horrible," said 46-year-old city resident Elena Rodriguez. "We're feeling so insecure now to be in the subway."

He may be small, but Spike Albrecht was a mighty force on the University of Michigan basketball team during the NCAA finals last night. The freshman bencher took the court by surprise, sinking floater after floater, giving U of M a nice edge in the first half. Just as in basketball and other sports, there are many small pieces of technology that go largely unnoticed … until they do something incredibly fantastic. Here are some of the lesser-known devices that that'll shock you with their amazing abilities: Don't ignore them; they can make a big difference in your automation game plan.
Power conditioners: This black box, which is hardly touched or seen, keeps all the electronic devices safe from harm and ensures that they're operating at maximum capacity. They protect against electrical disturbances that can fry your expensive gear.
Ventilation systems: Certain audio and video components can generate a lot of heat, and that can lead to damage. Ventilation systems, which can be automated to activate when the inside of a cabinet reaches a certain temperature, can keep your entertainment system running cool and smooth.
Equipment racks: Where you stow the electronic processors, amplifiers and other equipment may not seem like big deal, but organization and proper installation is critical to the livelihood of your home's technology. Imagine trying to add a new component to your system when the wiring is disorganized or you can't reach the input/output connections. An equipment rack lets you add, modify and adjust with ease.
WAPs: With so many devices talking Wi-Fi, a solid, reliable wireless network is essential in your house. Wireless access points (WAPs) can help ensure that signals reach their intended destinations without any glitches or holdups.
Switchers: Few people have just one entertainment system in their homes anymore. TVs and speakers are peppered all over they place, and switchers enable them all to access the same Blu-ray player, satellite receiver, media server and more. A switcher transmits what you want where you want it, and does so with technology to ensure that the picture is clear, bright and vivid.

He said that after checking the automated terminal information service and noting that the cloud cover was reported as 5,000 feet scattered at the Greenville, South Carolina airport, he told the FAA Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center controller, who had been providing him with visual flight rules flight following service, that he would be initiating his descent in visual meteorological conditions.

Making sure an adjustment is effective
It may be that several adjustments are required in order to remove or reduce a range of disadvantages and sometimes these will not be obvious to the employer. So your employer should work, as much as possible, with you to identify the kind of disadvantages or problems that you face but also the potential solutions in terms of adjustments.
But even if you don't know what to suggest, your employer must still consider what adjustments may be needed.
For example:
A disabled worker has been absent from work as a result of depression. Neither the worker nor their doctor is able to suggest any adjustments that could be made. Nevertheless the employer should still consider whether any adjustments, such as working from home for a time or changing working hours or offering more day-to-day support, would be reasonable.
You and/or your employer may be able to get expert advice from some of the organisations listed within the Further sources of information section.
