White Box 914 PC-BOT arrivesSeptember 18, 2006
White Box Robotics have announced their Mini-ITX powered Model 914 PC-BOTS are finally available for purchase.
The 9-Series PC-BOT Chassis stands 21 inches tall and weighs in at 55 pounds. A two wheel drive train is driven by two DC stepper motors. One side bay holds 2x 12V 9Ah (45W) Lead Acid batteries (powered by a 12V intelligent battery charger) and 2x 12V DC converters to power the motherboard and various auxilliary components. The other side bay holds a VIA EPIA SP 13000 Mini-ITX motherboard with 1GB RAM, with a 40GB SATA 2.5in HDD, 802.11g USB Wi-Fi adapter and slimline optical combo drive for good measure.
A USB Machine Management Module controls the motors and links to the I/O board. The I/O board has 8 analog inputs, 8 digital outputs and 8 digital inputs, with space for another board. A head assembly contains a webcam. 5 IR sensors are installed in the bumper, with another 3 mounted in one of the 8x 5.25in drive bays.
The PC-BOT runs Windows XP Home and includes White Box's "Brian" Application Development Environment and API which allows you write custom algorithms for a wide range of behaviors including speech recognition, navigation, and artifical intelligence. Windows Services to integrate with Microsoft's Robotics Studio are being developed, as is Linux support.
The 914 version also throws in Injection moulded plastic body panels for the full effect.
Early adopters will need to stump up nearly $5K for a lovingly hand assembled 914 from the first low-volume short-run - though anyone who placed a deposit last year will benefit from a significant price reduction. White Box intend to offer the PC-BOT at a sub $2K price once they hit mass production.

CSI: NOAA fingerprints a snowstorm, mercury causes bipolar disorder at the EPA and the world can finally buy the cardboard computer it craves.
The hippie of the week is a Aussie and the hottie of the week is a Texan. Life doesn't get much better than this.
Part One: Hippie of the Week
Hippie of the week is
Australian politician Penny Wong. Wong is currently Finance Minister to Julia 'the whine' Gillard, but was the first Aussie to hold the position of Minister for Climate Change. You can call it the Canute file, I do. Although Wong has had no official part of climate since her shuffle to the bean counter room, she retains an interest in advancing the global warming debate by engaging hearts and minds. Which is why she called skeptics 'flat-earthers'. Oh wait, nevermind.
Andrew Bolt has a comprehensive list of the people Wong thinks are stupid. Perhaps Penny should take a look at new Aussie polling on global warming, it's not the scam it used to be.
Part Two: Warmists & Scaremongers
Why do greens despise the TV icons of my childhood? First they came for David Bellamy, a man who practically lived in the undergrowth to show kids what lived there. Now Johnny Ball is vilified by radical hippies for daring to mention that global warming might not be worth scaring the bejesus out of kids. If hippies start picking on Gerry Anderson, this could get personal.
Hippies of the world rejoice – weather is climate again.
Penny gone? Aussie Chief scientist Sackett has quit, Simon isn't sad.
Here's your round-up Oscar tip. Gasland will win Best Documentary, because Hollywood loves Gaia more than you.
California may be facing economic ruin caused in large part by ruinous green schemes, but it's not dead enough for some people who would like to see the state use far less gas:
We suggest you take the greenhouse-gas reduction framework enshrined in your landmark 2006 legislation and substitute the word "petroleum" wherever the original text made reference to "greenhouse gases." We believe that policy will make the state stronger economically, improve national security by making us less dependent on the oil merchants of the increasingly unstable Middle East, create fertile ground for clean-tech investments and coin the phrase "patriot state" while making California the first to earn that title.
Finally hippies can buy a green computer. Recompute machines come in cardboard cases. No, really. If it makes you feel better, call it iTrash.
Good advice for recovering greens – Gaia isn't your mother, and she's not dying.
Oh noes, global warming causes toxic bacteria. The List, add to it.
Global warming is failing as a mechanism to control the pesky populace so greens need a new angle for the new feudalism. Meet Foodalism:
Even as traditional environmentalism struggles, another movement is rising in its place, aligning consumers, producers, the media and even politicians. It's the food movement, and if it continues to grow it may be able to create just the sort of political and social transformation that environmentalists have failed to achieve in recent years. That would mean not only changing the way Americans eat and the way they farm — away from industrialized, cheap calories and toward more organic, small-scale production, with plenty of fruits and vegetables — but also altering the way we work and relate to one another. To its most ardent adherents, the food movement isn't just about reform — it's about revolution.
Here we go again.
Ten green ideas that are pretty much doomed. Say goodbye to your
flying car portable solar dreams.
Plane Stupid protesters are on trial in the UK for their foolish invasion of an airport. Imagine their faces when evidence was presented that showed the gap-year hippies only increased carbon emission with the stunt. Priceless.
The UN IPCC traveled to Hollywood to encourage movie-makers to keep pushing the global warming message in film. The first sign green is no longer top of the glitterati agenda is that Don Cheadle is as close to A-list as they could get.
The EPA tells a tale of two mercury's. The mercury in thermometers is dangerous and must be regulated to protect health. The mercury in CFL light bulbs is no problem, apparently.
Scientific American ponders why Americans resist the climate consensus, a question that is reveals more about what used to be a science paper than they realize. Perhaps Americans just figured out that climate scientists like Michael 'Stick' Mann and Jim Hansen took the short bus to grad school.
Good news, the House of Windsor is hiring a new travel coordinator. They want flights to be more green, but the carpet better stay red.
Neo-religions. Same as the old religions, but now with 10% added dogma.
Oh noes, slightly milder weather caused by a trace gas essential to life on Earth has changed the color of owls. When tawny owls turn brown, it's all over. Owlmageddon, it's happening.
Hippies are howling about pesky developing nations who want better lives that include food and (gasp) material things. If only poor people would know their place and just be interesting on discovery channel now and again, hippies would be so much happier.
David Suzuki is in Australia on the down-under leg of his farewell tour:
"When I tell children I grew up when there was not a TV, satellite or cell phone on the planet, they can't believe anyone could be that old. And we lived rich interesting lives without the latest iPod."
Watch this short video of David Suzuki living a rich, interesting life. He may not have had the latest iPod, but it's a reasonable guess that he may have enjoyed some iPot:
Raj Pachauri, the head of the IPCC gets Laframboise up in his grille for his penchant to advocate policy from a position that isn't supposed to advocate policy.
Part Three: Inconvenient Truths
Antarctic warming debunked and global warming scientists take another direct hit to credibility:
Nature's original peer-review process had let through an obviously flawed paper, and no professional climate scientist then disputed it – perhaps because of fear that doing so might harm their careers
In what world is it necessary for a state legislator to file a motion that global warming is a natural occurence?
UK retail giant and eco-bag failure Tesco is abandoning plans for solar panels on store roofs after government subsidies were reduced. When economic reality meets green tech, there can only be one winner, as Smart cars discovered.
Alan Caruba has a go at deconstructing the global warming fraud:
I have used the words "hoax" and "fraud" interchangeably, but the latter refers to the way global warming was never about the climate and all about a handful of people becoming quite wealthy by setting up exchanges to buy and sell bogus "carbon credits" mandated by governments in order to emit CO2 in the normal process of manufacturing production and other applications. Others have cashed in building solar and wind farms, or became producers of ethanol. None of these ventures would survive without government mandates requiring their use.
The US House of Representatives defunded the UN IPCC. The move won't pass the Senate, but you better believe the vote made a few green hearts flutter. And not in the good way.
Ethical oil advocate Ezra Levant has a few words for hippies about their beloved bird shredders.
Pesky satellite data shows no warming for 13 years. Son of sputnik is a denier, who knew?
CO2 is innocent, Tim says so. But what will hippies tax if plant food isn't to blame for milder weather?
Jo Nova dissects the notion that after 20 years of claiming global warming causes drought, it also causes floods.
Bright flight. California is losing educated people and entrepreneurs as it embraces eco-lunacy and economic suicide. Renting a U-Haul from San Francisco to Austin, Texas costs over$3000 but the return costs only $300. And U-Haul still can't find any takers for the West-bound trip.
Uh oh, forget what I said about weather is climate. It's CSI-NOAA Forensic meteorology suggests man had nothing to do with snowpocalypse.
They found no evidence — no human "fingerprints" — to implicate our involvement in the snowstorms. If global warming was the culprit, the team would have expected to find a gradual increase in heavy snowstorms in the mid-Atlantic region as temperatures rose during the past century. But historical analysis revealed no such increase in snowfall. Nor did the CSI team find any indication of an upward trend in winter precipitation along the eastern seaboard.
It's for the kids. When UK teachers aren't detonating moppets, they're busy indoctrinating them.
Green jobs you can believe in. The Obama administration invested $535 million and only lost 135 jobs. Wait, what?
Math is hard. Hybrids vs. regular cars – the green option can never pay for itself in gas consumption savings. But you can still drive a Prius to feel good about yourself, if that works for you.
Junkscience has a new look and much more frequent posting. Look, subscribe and learn.
Oh the ironing. Green businesses are targeted by fraudsters. Imagine Enron getting rolled in a dark alley before it could strip mine California's economy, it's like that.
It's the Sun, stupid. No, really.
The reason for wrecking California's agriculture industry was to save the Delta Smelt, a not very useful and probably not tasty micro-fish. After sending thousands of farms into financial ruin and devastating the region with 40% unemployment, it turns out that diverting all the fresh water to the ocean didn't help the Smelt at all. Darwinism works – just get hippies out of the way.
Piers Corbyn prods the Met Office again, because he can.
Part Four: AGW in the News
Ask any environmentalist in Canada about the US and they will launch into a tirade about consumerism run amok, red state bible-belt gun-totin' freedom lovin' polluters and how ironic Seattle coffee-drinkers are. Or something. Then ask the same Canadian environmentalist about US cash feeding the anti-oilsands and be deafened by the silence.
Flying is bad for Gaia, unless you're a green lobby group trying to secure your agenda.
Hippies got wood when the UK dropped plans to sell forests for cash. Meanwhile 'street' trees are having a hard time on the sceptr'd isle. We've all seen them, sometimes we cross the street to avoid pan-handling street trees who beg for one more chance to turn a new leaf.
The 'Jurassic coast' is about to get new dinosaurs when a wind farm is built off the pictureque south coast. Some day visitors will view the offshore monuments to stupid and point and laugh.
Treehugger gets it's Ebert on and reviews 'the Heretic', the West End play that stomped the warmist opposition in box office earnings:
Because of the way that the play has been presented, you leave thinking about greenwash, where the truth lies, how to weigh up the facts, how many facts we really don't know and what our responsibility is to find out. It raises issues on both side of the argument: she is a skeptic amongst academics but her student hacks into a rival university's website and discovers incriminating emails covering up research. Whether this play will last the test of time as great dramatic art remains to be seen. But it does serve as a timely, entertaining and intelligent snapshot of contemporary issues.
Aussie voters will be thrilled to learn that their government is about to pay 'several hundred' thousand bucks for solar panels. The good news is it will save $9500 a year. Given the average useful life of a PV panel is about 20 years, that means lifetime savings of nearly $200,000. Government math at work.
Good news, it'll only take 2% of every nations GDP to kick start a 'green economy'. It's a bargain, just look at the return Obama got for only half-a-billion dollars. Oh wait, nevermind.
Global warming means high noon for the not-OK Coral.
Aussie state broadcaster ABC is busted for bias. I thought that was what the 'B' stood for, much like the BBC and CBC. No?
Oh noes, now gardening is bad for Gaia. Evil green-fingered terra-rists have the temerity to tear up peat bogs to use as fertilizer. Peat bogs are carbon sinks, and warmists fear that ripping them up releases carbon. I guess they missed the part that carbon is a good fertiziler and makes plants grow, not groan.
When even the Gray Lady notices the China =clean energy meme is false, your agenda is in trouble.
Grist wonders why green energy costs so much in California. Jeez, who knew offering huge subsidies for inefficient power generation would affect prices. Economics is like a dark art for hippies, they have no idea how it works.
The Daily Mail tells readers about the 'green con' that will cost every homeowner £300 extra per year. The higher costs are due in large part to pay for inefficient green energy schemes. Hey, the UK is the new California/Ontario/Spain/Italy/Germany.
Part Five: Global Hottie
It's a weakness, but zombie movies are a favorite of mine. Not much is funnier than the idea of mindless reanimated bodies running around with a hankering for brains. Hey, that reminds me of hippies, sort of. Our hottie of the week had a small part in the very entertaining Zombieland – the only celluloid event to pair up the Facebook founder with Woody Harrelson, or something. She's making her first appearance on the round-up and was thoughtful enough to wear a green dress for the occasion. Skeptics, welcome Ms. Amber Heard to the hottie ranks.
Thanks for reading.

Egypt 2011 - part one
a journey from Dahab to Luxor
de Nigel Maister
Acerca del libro
Egypt - Part One documents the first part of an extended trip, in the high summer of 2011, to Egypt (and to Jordan--published separately). The book illustrates the journey from Cairo (including Coptic and Islamic Cairo, Sufi dancing, etc.) to Luxor, taking in the pyramids of Giza, Saqqara, and Dashur, the Theban Necropolis, Karnak, the Colossi of Memnon, as well as the temples of Abydos and Dendera.
Egypt - Part 2 (published separately) documents the remainder of the journey (up the Nile to Aswan and Abu Simbel, through the Western Desert to the Siwa Oasis and then along the Mediterranean coast to Alexandria and back to Cairo and the seminal events in Tahrir Square).
The volume entitled Jordan (also published separately) details a similar trip through the Hashemite Kingdom that took place on either side of the Egyptian legs.

Harrison Ford Basically Destroyed 'Episode VII'
"Do I look like a guy who won't break his leg to get out of this thing?"
A little less than two weeks ago, word got out that Harrison Ford broke his ankle after tripping over the door to the Millenium Falcon (No, really.), but everyone seemed optimistic he'd be back in a few weeks. Then things started to go downhill. It went from he actually broke his entire leg, then his pelvis and I stopped paying attention so just assume he died. Harrison Ford's dead now. Anyway, turns out Han Solo was going to be the main character of Star Wars: Episode VII which just got fucked to Endor and back. (I'll let myself out.) Via io9:
The rumor is he'll be sidelined for six full months — which means the movie's either getting delayed or massively rewritten.
The potential news comes from the UK-based site Jedi News, who says sources told them of an emergency meeting ay Pinewood Studios this morning to discuss how to handle Ford's sudden unavailability. Since Ford's Han Solo is reportedly the film's lead, the only way to make its Christmas 2015 release date — which Disney has refused to move before — is to rewrite Ford's scenes, or rewrite the script entirely.
Ironically, this happened because of J.J. Abram's insistence on using practical effects instead of the CGI shitshow that dominated the prequels. Except now he'll have to use even more CGI or make the whole movie about Mark Hammill and when has that ever created a timeless classic beloved the world over? So you know somewhere George Lucas is laughing because none of ever happened on his sets. "This is exactly why I don't use anything that wasn't made by a computer. Including actors which raises the question: Whose baby is that, Rachel Bilson? Whose baby is that? Hahaha, I am evil. PURE EVIL. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Miley Cyrus has issued an apology to fans, saying she feels so embarrassed and truly sorry for her provocative pictures in the June 2008 issue of Vanity Fair.
Another day, another raunchy pictures scandal for Miley Cyrus. Following her latest racy pics which were leaked online last week, the young actress-singer provoked another concern and talk with her provocative pictures in the June 2008 issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
For the issue, on sale in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 30 and nationwide May 6, Miley posed for celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. She was photographed posing provocatively over her right shoulder, her back nude and breasts covered by her arms and shimmery fabric. In a caption with the image, the "Hannah Montana" star was quoted as telling the publication, "I think it's really artsy. It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie. She's so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you're like, 'OK.'"
Commercials promoting the scoop pictures were first showed by the television program "Entertainment Tonight" over the weekend. And, needless, to say, many negative reviews arose soon thereafter.
Quickly responded to the negative reviews addressed to her, Miley exclusively issued a statement to People on Sunday, April 27, apologizing for the series of her racy pics that hit the Internet last week as well as for the not-yet-released Vanity Fair photo shoot.
"My goal in my music and my acting is always to make people happy. For Vanity Fair, I was so honored and thrilled to work with Annie [Leibovitz]. I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," so she said.
She then went on saying, "The pictures of me on the Internet were silly, inappropriate shots. I appreciate all the support of my fans, and hope they understand that along the way I am going to make mistakes and I am not perfect. I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone" adding that "Most of all I have let myself down. I will learn from my mistakes and trust my support team. My family and my faith will guide me through my life's journey."

It's the weekend so I get to spend some time on my long list of desired upgrades for the blog here at 100K House. This morning I added a new Archives page to the site. I must give Mr Chis Pearson credit for this upgrade. His blogging ideas are so simple, but so brilliant.
The new archives page lists the archives in three formats – by month, by category and individual posts. My favorite is this last method that lists ever single post ever written in one giant list from newest to oldest. It's a great way to quickly scan old post titles to see if there is anything interesting that you might want to read. Lastly, I've also changed the format of the archive pages so that you see only a short excerpt of each post instead of the entire post. This lets you quickly scan through the month and category pages much faster to see all of the posts available.
If you're new to the blog, check out the archives when you have a minute to see if there are any past posts that catch your eye.
If you enjoyed reading this post I can promise you'll love our new writing over at Postgreen Homes. Yeah, we know that's the same thing your favorite band said and their new album is nowhere near as good as their early stuff, but seriously, we are actually still getting better.
There also isn't much conversation to be had here . . . at least not with us. So come on over to the Postgreen Homes Blog and tell us what you think of our new(ish) digs and crazy ideas. We will be sure to tell you what we think of your opinion.

Justin Holman (vocals), Robert Davis (guitar), Kevin Haaland (guitar), Brad Smith (bass), and David Piribauer (drums) comprise the infectious post-grunge sounds of Revis. They came together in the late '90s and played local gigs in their native Carbondale, IL, under the Orco moniker. A move to Los Angeles in 2001 gave them a new direction and a name change and motivated them to record a demo. Epic Records was impressed with their tight presentation and inked Revis a deal in 2002. Producer Don Gilmore joined them in the studio for their full-length debut later that summer. The end result was the guitar-laden Places for Breathing. Just as it was ready to hit stores in late May, the city of Carbondale christened May 19, 2003, as "Revis Day" in tribute to their young hometown heroes. The album went on to sell 10,000 copies during its first week of release and debuted at number one on Billboard's Heatseekers chart.
After some touring with popular groups like Evanescence, Fuel, and Cold, Revis scored two rock radio hits, "Caught in the Rain," which was initially featured in the movie Daredevil, and "Seven." Despite the band's rising popularity, Revis announced that they were disbanding in 2005.
In February 2010, Revis announced a reunion and are currently finishing up their second full length album, to be released in the Spring of 2011. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

I've met one new friend on an internet website who is a creeper
Why I call him a creeper? Because he called me on the phone a lot, and it's annoying.
So I tried to avoid him because I think that he's a gay (I'm no offense with gays, but I rather not involve with one because I'm a straight)
He even had done 27 missed calls, and guess what he wanted to talk to me about? He said he was traveling in another province and have some fun! Yeah! That's what 27 missed calls are for?
And then I made a mistake. He said he wanted to send me a postcard, so he asked for my house address. I didn't want to be impolite, so I gave him my house address.
Many days passed by... He started to call me a lot again. I avoided his call as usual. But this time, he came to my house!
Of course, that's not happy.
Event like this repeats many time: He called me > I don't pick up the calls (20+ missed calls) > He came to my house or sometimes call my house telephone number(I have no idea where he get my house telephone number)
I choose to ignore him and hope he'll eventually stop.
What will you do if you were me?
Views: 295
Ignore him. Or if it gets really bad, call the cops. Best not to get involved in stuff like this. And never give out really personal, life-threatening details on the internet. EVER. Unless for a perfectly legitimate reason (between known friends, for purposes of business, etc).
"Politeness" doesn't come into it. You simply don't do that stuff. If he asks for your address, tell him to go fuck himself.
Depending on just how scary he is: a) ignore him and hope eventually it will work; b) be straight with him: "I don't like the way you've been pursuing me. I don't want you to come to my house. I don't want you to call me. Goodbye." Exude finality.
Being abusive is probably not required. If he's a psycho (as opposed to merely weird), it's unwise. If he's not, it's unnecessary. If it helps... but you don't know him well enough to know that, nor do you want to.
That's my non-expert take.
Go out to lunch with him and ask him what is up.
Make it clear that he is crossing social lines and you are not happy with that.
If he is gay and interested in you, simply tell him "Thank you, but no thank you."
Now after this if is still pulls creepy get a restraining order.
I work for a publishing company and several years ago we rejected a manuscript from a quite well known female novelist. I didn't reject it myself but one of my colleagues did and I am editorial director. I had nothing to do with the rejection although I had actually read the novel and told my colleague that I did not like it. She somehow got my home address and started loitering about in the area. When I went out she would be sitting in her car in the roadway and follow me to wherever I was going. One day I was being interviewed on national television about a project that I am involved in and she rang in to the station and made irrational allegations which I could not ignore. For a long time I had not known who she was but one day she followed me to work and sat outside in her car and one of my colleagues recognised her and I actually rang the police. They interviewed her and it transpired she had psychiatric problems and believed I was wilfully jeopardising her career and was waiting for an opportunity to sort me out! Happily we do not have guns everywhere in Ireland or I would have been dead! Apparently she was on medication but had a history of neglecting to take it and it took a long time to actually find that out. It was quite worrying at the time.
A scary story
You can buy one in the buy and sell. Just the thing if you got a problem with them Foxes.
What Will said: ignore. and be clear with him you don't want it.
and don't be afraid to call for back up. armed back up.
Thank you for your replying.
I know this guy online for a year. And had met in real life for probably 2 or 3 months. I thought it's okay to give a phone number to him. But it's not okay at all :(
He isn't seem to be a kind of psycho. But he just did cross my social line a lot.
Shoot straight with him. Quit being a nancy, and tell him to knock-it-off.
In that whole story, you never actually told him to get lost. You just sit there with your fingers in your ears hoping he'll go away. Clearly he's not getting the hints you're dropping. You're trying to be nice and spare his feelings ... but you're actually being evasive and dragging things out. Quit ignoring, start acting.
I don't understand that at all, please move your fern from the window, it's really fucking my view.
Is he your cable guy?

The family of a teenager who was unable to find a bone marrow donor match have been overwhelmed by community support in Witham.
Femi Biyi, of Howbridge Road, Witham, was just 13 when he was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia, a rare disorder in which the bone marrow fails to make enough blood cells and which can be associated with cancers such as leukaemia.
He needed a bone marrow transplant but, due to a lack of donors from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, was unable to find a match.
Now, Femi's mum Sarah and dad Olatunde hope to encourage more people to sign up as donors and raise money for The Teenager Cancer Trust, which supported their family during Femi's illness.
Rebecca Russell, 17, a member of the Witham United Reformed Church Youth group, decided to organise a sponsored 12-hour tennis match to raise funds for the charity.
Nineteen teenagers, including 14-year-old Femi who is a member of the group, played tennis at Wickham Bishops Tennis Club, in Great Totham Road from 8.30am until 8.30pm last Monday and raised nearly £800.

A new massive SSD from Samsung promises 4TB of storage and excellent performance, provided you've got the cash to pay for it.
Sluggish microSD card got you down? Samsung has some new UFS cards that are much faster. Too bad nothing in the world supports them yet.
A new pair of SXCD cards from SanDisk will deliver 256GB capacities and higher overall performance, but only one is shipping in the near future.
Researchers from IBM have unveiled a breakthrough in phase-change memory. Their work could lead to dramatic density improvements for the proposed next-gen memory standard and make it far more competitive compared to NAND flash and DRAM.
Intel's Optane is making waves as a high-end, next-gen storage solution — but its raw performance over NAND isn't quite as high as the company is claiming it is. Optane's reliability and long-term scaling could be where it shows its strengths as opposed to shorter-term performance comparisons.
Apple's new iPhone SE is a hand-sized device for anyone, with a design that echoes Apple's iPhone 5 family and the lowest price tag of any iDevice. Except for the storage capacity, it's a great-looking phone.
Fixstars has just shattered the record for SSD drives, with a 13TB monster. While it's not for everyone (and the five-figure price tag is a bit much for most), it's the largest single SSD ever manufactured.
Transcend is prepping a new type of MLC NAND it's dubbed "SuperMLC." The company wants to combine the high reliability and performance of single-level cell NAND memory with the low cost and economies of scale that exist around traditional multi-level cell flash.
Samsung's new 950 Pro family of drives will debut next month, with higher peak throughput than an array of 24 MLC drives from six years ago. Woof.
Microsoft is rolling a new version of the Xbox One in time for Christmas 2015. Say hello to faster storage, a 1TB drive, and the new Elite wireless controller — back at the original launch price of $499.

*NEW*: PoopLog now has the ability to log a pain/discomfort level from 0-10. This option is disabled by default, but can be enabled via Settings > Defaults.
!! UPDATE ALERT !! I am working on and will soon be releasing a large update that will include more logging options, charting, and trends!
Stay tuned to @kefsco, or kefsco.com for any news!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why develop PoopLog? Is it a joke application? I was out of work, and on disability for 7+ months due to severe bowel problems.. I'm a geek, so I started tracking everything, even my bowel movements. I figured others might want to do the same, so I gave birth to PoopLog. While it can be fun to track and tweet, PoopLog was originally developed to assist with tracking bowel movements for easy analysis by a health practitioner.
I can really attach a photo to my PoopLog? Why? This wasn't an original feature of PoopLog, and won't become available until PoopLog2 is released. For some reason, this is the most requested feature from my users so I had no choice but to include this great feature! When you take your first photo, you will be asked if you would like your PoopLog photos hidden from the Android gallery. This option is configurable through the PoopLog application settings.
Why does PoopLog require install permissions? The only permissions required are to read/write to the external storage device (ie: microsd), and to access the camera. This is required exclusively to import/export generated reports and read/write PoopLog photos. PoopLog doesn't connect to the internet, doesn't obtain your device's identity or contacts, and doesn't transmit any information out from your device to anyone, ever, unless you select the share option for a PoopLog entry.
Why can't I share my PoopLog directly to the Facebook for Android application? The Facebook for Android application contains a flaw where it believes you are attempting to share a link, rather than share text. This issue appears to affect every Android developer, including myself. For now, you can workaround this issue by using the 'Copy to Clipboard' button. Once you do this, you can manually open your Facebook application and paste the text from your clipboard with a long-press on any text-field. Hopefully the Facebook for Android developers will fix this soon.
Why does it take so long to open an attached PoopLog photo? I've heard reports of attached PoopLog images taking upwards of 30+ seconds to open. I am not sure what is causing the latency, but will look into it and resolve it in an upcoming version.
What features can be expected in future versions of PoopLog? I am playing with the ability to geotag entries, allowing users to view a map/trail of their PoopLog. Also, I am working on implementing some sort of label/tagging system in order to sort entries into multiple custom categories (ie: smell, contents..). You can follow developments on Twitter via @kefsco, and if you have any suggestions, comments, ideas, or any feedback at all, email email@example.com.
Is PoopLog open-source? Currently, no. If I ever get around to cleaning up my code, my goal is to release it for anyone to use.
Will PoopLog ever be an iPhone/iPad/iOS app? No.
I hope that you find PoopLog useful and fun, as silly as it may be.

Following on the success of the Generation Kingspan 2012 and 2013 Architectural Design Competition, Kingspan is holding a 2014 design competition for architecture students. This year the focus will be on how KarrierPanel Barrier Wall Systems and KingZip Roofing Panels utilizing insulated metal panels (IMPs) can be integrated into the design of an urban mixed-use building. Unlike most competitions, the GenK competition participants benefit from both a popular social vote as well as a review by a juried panel of professionals. Entries that meet all requirements must be uploaded to www.generationkingspan.com and entries can be modified until the submission deadline.
Generation Kingspan 2014 offers architectural students the opportunity to gain industry recognition and peer feedback while using KarrierPanel Barrier Wall Systems and KingZip Roofing Panels to design a multi-use complex with commercial, residential, and community/recreation space for a Calgary, Alberta, Canada project site. Students are challenged to propose high performance building envelope solutions that rely on the performance characteristics of a variety of insulated metal panel types.
Green building and sustainable design are a big part of Kingspan's vision and commitment. It's Kingspan's hope that the student contestants of today will be long-term contributors to the Path to Net Zero in the future.
Juried Winners
A jury of industry leaders will evaluate all the submissions and choose three juried winners based on:
Social Winners
The top two social winners are determined based upon online voting. Voting is in totaled from two parts. First, social votes on www.GenerationKingspan.com from badges earned in the areas of:
Second, influence from project clusters on www.KineticByKingspan.com. To add influence from KINetic clusters to overall social votes, a KINetic cluster for the submitted GenK project must be created.
Entries go 'live' once uploaded to the GenK site and can be edited until the submission deadline, December 4, 2014.
To enter, students must be currently enrolled in a NAAB (National Architectural Accrediting Board) or CACB (Canadian Architectural Certification Board) accredited architectural program offering a B. Arch. or M. Arch. from an institution of higher education. A faculty sponsor can be listed on this registration form; however it is not a requirement.
Employees and family members of Kingspan are not eligible to participate in the contest or social voting. Previous winners in the Generation Kingspan competition are not eligible to enter the competition. Entrants are prohibited from obtaining votes by 'Gain Vote' sites, vote farming, email address fabricating, appeals for votes to win a contest, any voting gained by soliciting on behalf of a charity or other social cause or artificially inflating votes shall result in disqualification of submission.
While entering the contest is limited to students, we encourage all architecture design professionals to join, view the designs and make constructive commentary on both student entries as well as the Gen K blog. Members of the architect community - whether professional or academic - are actively encouraged to submit ideas for blog posts on the Gen K core subjects (design vision, sustainability, energy efficiency, use of insulated metal panels).
The top two winners of the popular social vote and top three winners of the separate juried vote will receive cash prizes and publicity in prominent industry publications.
We want all entrants in the Gen K contest to benefit, and in a sense, make every entrant a winner at some level. Competition entrants are encouraged to interact, ask questions and solicit input from their peers, educators and other architecture professionals that belong to the Gen K online community.
The following items are required with each submission. Entries must be uploaded to www.generationkingspan.com and entries can be modified until the submission deadline.
One easy way to get inspired is to take a look at some of the buildings and concepts in the online Kingspan Project Gallery, which gives you some great examples of the use of KarrierPanel Barrier Wall Systems and KingZip Roofing Panels. Kingspan's online Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Brochure also provides an introduction to insulated metal panels (IMPs). You'll need to understand the Contest Rules thoroughly. We've also provided you with links to Kingspan tools and other industry sources for understanding the project requirements.
Even if you cannot submit, we encourage you to join, review and vote for entries, assigning Creativity/Innovation, Proper Use of Panel, and Function badges to designs you believe have significant merit. You'll gain insights from the project entries and perhaps even a bit of inspiration to enter GenK 2015.
The GenK contest supports five winners: The two winners of the popular social vote from the GenK online community and, separately, the top three winners of the technical review by the panel of judges. The winners of the GenK social vote will be those entrants who submit, follow the competition requirements, and receive the highest total number of votes online. The winners of the juried panel vote will be the joint determination of the expert panel's view of that submission which best represents:
Judged winners will not be eligible to win the online voting portion of the contest. In the event judged winners receive top voting in the online vote, the two contest participants with the next highest number of votes will be selected as winners of the online (social) competition.
In order not to bias the online voting, judges will neither vote or comment on particular entries.
Absolutely! We highly encourage you to promote your submitted entry to get votes from family, friends and especially the architectural community at large. You can do this by sharing a link to your Profile Page in email, as well as on microblogging networks like Twitter and via Facebook. NOTICE! In order to keep a fair playing ground within the Gen K environment, promoting your entry via comments in the comment areas of other entrant's main page is not allowed.
One concept / entry is permitted per contestant. Group designs are not accepted.
Yes! We want you to get to know the Gen K community members. While their help may be necessary, we also want you to understand how architectural requirements work.
Your entry can be modified all the way up until the submission deadline of December 4, 2014, 11:59 p.m. (EST). Your designs will be saved in your account throughout the competition period. You can study the materials in the Resources section. Don't get discouraged - there are people here to help. To be certain your design has been submitted, make sure the project is displayed as an Entry.
The building program includes 600,000 square feet with 1/3 for commercial space, 1/3 for residential space, and 1/3 for community/recreation space.
The project should be developed with an integrative approach to the use of IMPs. Projects should be designed in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Additionally, the complex should respond to:
The diversified program proposes several occupancies that promote a building envelope composition that responds to site orientation, environmental criteria, and cultural adjacencies in order to elicit a high performance building envelope solution.
Please review full official competition rules. If you still do not have an answer to your question, please send email to the Ask a Question and one of the contest administrators will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Welcome to our blog. We're building HelloWallet to address a major gap in the financial services market: simple, friendly expertise to help consumers make sense of it all.
Financial products of all types—from basic checking and savings accounts to retirement accounts and stock market investments—have grown more and more complex over the years, leaving many of us confused and a bit paralyzed by our options. We've all wasted too much time and money figuring out which savings account to get, how much to put in savings versus student loans, how much we should really be saving for retirement. In the past, people have gone to financial planners for answers. Today, thanks to new technology and a unique set of analytics, we're able to offer that same type of individualized guidance much more directly and cheaply.
With HelloWallet, we aspire to reclaim control over our finances and free up time better spent on other pursuits. This blog is partly about the evolution of our product, but more importantly about the world in which that evolution is taking place. HelloWallet is possible because of amazing technological innovations, inspiring social movements, and individuals and organizations who are unafraid to follow their passions. We're excited to share those things here.
Thanks for participating!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/7/2010 (2592 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Last week witnessed two seemingly unrelated events, which in fact are connected to issues of medical error and patient safety in Winnipeg's hospitals. The first is that on July, the Winnipeg Free Press reported that 50-year-old, Gerald Briggs is suing the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, the province, two hospitals and some nurses after suffering brain damage believed by his lawyer to be the result of improper care for a stroke. The second is that the University of Manitoba announced Dr. Brian Postl's five-year term as dean of the faculty of medicine began July 1, 2010. What does yet another allegation of medical error in Winnipeg's hospitals have to do with the appointment of Postl?
Postl is an advocate of what, in patient safety literature is termed, "systems thinking". In an email to Health Science Centre staff, when he was Winnipeg Regional Health Authority CEO Postl blamed Brian Sinclair's death on health care "system frailties" (Winnipeg Free Press, February 7, 2009). As in the case of the tragic life and death of Brian Sinclair, it has become commonplace to blame errors that occur as part of biomedical health care on "the system". Biomedical proponents such as Postl argue that medical error can be reduced through a focus on developing a "safety culture" within the health-care system.
The hallmark of such an approach is the conviction that medical errors cannot be prevented by focusing on negligent actions of individual health-care staff who commit errors. Rather, it is suggested that medical errors emerge as a result of the complexity of the health-care system. "Safety culture" proponents believe that such mistakes cannot be prevented by what they term the "naming, blaming, and shaming" approach, which focuses on individual responsibility for errors.
The notion that patient safety can be secured through the simplistic introduction of a "safety culture" is naive from a sociological standpoint. Such "safety culture" discourse is, however, used effectively in defence of medical dominance over the patient-safety system.
For example, it allows medical officials to explain away instances of medical error, such as that which resulted in Brian Sinclair's death, with reference to "system frailties". By scapegoating the system, medical officials attempt to explain medical error in a manner that doesn't challenge the medical profession's control over defining and responding to medical mishaps. The problem is that "systems thinking" treats the medical system as if it were a closed system in which only medical professionals have the ability or right to decide what counts as medically inappropriate, harmful, or negligent behaviour.
Further, the agency of individuals involved in the system is overlooked.
The "safety culture" argument holds that the behaviour of health-care professionals cannot be judged without considering the systemic context of their conduct. In this way, blaming the system actually safeguards medical dominance over the health-care system.
The "safety culture" hypothesis is consistently disproven by social science. There is no clearer illustration of this than research showing that approximately half of health-care workers in Canadian hospitals can't seem to be persuaded to wash their hands in the interests of the safety of their patients (CIHI, 2004).
Health care professionals are well aware of risks posed to patients by hospital-based infections and still as many as half of them don't take straightforward actions to prevent such harm.
So called, "systems thinking" approaches, such as awareness-raising and educational campaigns, have proven unsuccessful in affecting cultural change, which would promote patient safety through basic infection control measures, such as hand washing.
Research shows that, rather than learning from mistakes blamed on "the system", physicians tend to cope with them with resigned acceptance. The reluctance of physicians to participate in "safety culture" initiatives through reporting their mistakes has been well documented by social scientists.
Patient-safety lessons can, however, be learned from regulatory measures which have met with success in reducing rates of hospital-based infections by holding non-compliant health care professionals and the hospitals they work for accountable for their actions.
This shows that behavioural change occurs through changing the structural context that makes that behaviour possible in the first place. One of the most effective and straightforward means to accomplish structural change is with regulatory measures which govern individual behaviour. For example, individuals avoid the adverse events associated with smoking not because they suddenly learn such behaviour is bad for their health; they quit smoking when it became stigmatized, expensive, and, as with the case of smoking in public or in automobiles with children in them, illegal.
That is, a population health version of "name, blame, and shame" lowered smoking rates! Similarly, physicians and nurses have become compliant with hand-washing rules in those hospitals which punish individuals who don't wash their hands. Likewise, industries such as nuclear power and aviation have been more successful in preventing errors than the health-care system because they employ a blend of systemic and regulatory measures.
The sociological lesson is that patient safety from medical error will only be achieved when regulatory models from other high-risk technical systems are adopted to offset the dominance of the medical profession.

Use King Trumpet mushrooms in meat, fish, and pasta dishes. The King Trumpet is a great meat substitute in your favorite recipes. Butter helps to bring out the King Trumpet's exceptional flavor.
Hokto's Kinoko is Clean and Ready-to-Cook
Like all of Hokto's mushrooms, the King Trumpet is clean and ready-to-cook. You do not have to wash, rinse or peel Hokto's mushrooms because they are not grown in soil! Hokto's mushrooms are 100% USDA Organic and agrichemical free! However, all mushrooms should be cooked. Do not serve mushrooms raw.
How to Prepare King Trumpet Mushrooms
No base, no preparation
You don't have to trim the base of a King Trumpet mushrooms because it is trimmed before being packaged. You can cook the entire King Trumpet mushrooms while you can cut off the tip of the mushroom when you found residue of the base or any stains or dirt.
Use Your Hands
You can easily break apart a King Trumpet with your hands. The thickness can vary depending on your preference and the recipe. By using your hands instead of a knife, the surface of the mushroom will soak up more flavor and cooks faster.
Thick cut for crispy chew
King Trumpet can be enjoyed in many different ways by varying its thickness. With a thick cut you can enjoy a crispy chew, but we recommend slow cooking as the best option. Simmering will not make the mushroom soggy. The mushrooms can increase the volume of the dish. Cut the caps into 4 pieces.
Cut will make a difference
One of the most appealing aspects of the King Trumpet is the crispy chew, but when you cut them in rounds, they have a meat-like tenderness. Cut the King Trumpet to break down its fiber, making it softer and easier for elders and children to chew. You can also use King Trumpet mushrooms as a meat substitute to decrease calories on a plate.

There have been a couple of times in the past year where I started to feel a cold or flu bug coming on, but then it never seemed to fully materialize. Perhaps the running has strengthened my immune system to the point where it can kick a virus hard before it gets too much chance to take hold.
Hey, how is snowshoeing in this weather? I saw snowmobiles out today and wonder if they run well when the snow is so wet and sticky.
You've definately gotta try it one day! A pretty good butt workout too!

The oldest candy bar on our list, Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar was developed in 1900 by Milton S. Hershey. Hershey wanted everyone to be able to enjoy the great taste of milk chocolate, which was a privilege only the wealth enjoyed at the time. So he started his chocolate operation right in the heart of the Pennsylvania's dairy county and charged just a nickel for his candy bar. From 1941 to 1945, The Hershey Company produced more than a billion rations bars for troops serving in World War II. These days, Hershey makes more than 373 million of its signature candy bar every year.

The MagiKats Franchise has great potential for great profits. The MagiKats programme enables every child, no matter their background or schooling to make the most of their potential in English and Mathematics. You will receive training in how to set up and run your Maths and English Tuition Business and much more...
The MagiKats Maths and English Tuition Business is a management franchise with a tutoring twist. It suits both those looking for a management franchise opportunity and those looking for an education franchise, as teaching can be hands-on or hands-off as desired.
The MagiKats Franchise opportunity is possibly the best education franchise that you may never have heard of. As a family business, their priority is getting the right people, not just as many people as possible.
So, whether you are a teacher looking for a change, or working in a completely different industry but looking to get involved in children's education, the MagiKats Franchise could be for you.
MagiKats workshops offer maths and English tutoring in small groups to children from pre-school to GCSE (or local equivalent qualification). Each student studies a two-strand programme of curriculum support and core skills development.
In addition to subject skills, MagiKats help develop thinking skills, problem solving skills, study skills and social skills. Every MagiKats student has a programme that is put together for them as an individual and no two programmes will ever be identical.
MagiKats Franchisees use their unique computer system and programme to manage students' programmes, monitor their progress and feedback to parents. Franchisees employ mentors – a more inclusive title than tutors - to deliver the subject tuition to small groups of no more than six students at a time. A centre manager (usually but not always the franchisee) runs each workshop session and liaises with parents on their child's progress.
Never taught or employed staff before? The MagiKats programme and training provides you with all the tools you need to prepare the programmes for each child and their tutoring training programme shows your staff how to deliver an excellent MagiKats experience.
Back in the office, a MagiKats Franchise markets their business, deals with parents, prepares work for the students, takes sales calls, monitors customer payments – basically everything you would expect a small business owner to be responsible for.
If you have never run a business, don't worry – the comprehensive training and support package provides you with access to decades of experience and practical guidance on all aspects of running a small business.
Every MagiKats Franchisee is treated as an individual. They work with each person to help them develop and achieve their personal goals. Franchisees are not forced to all have the same targets, or to operate in exactly the same circumstances. They ensure that the MagiKats Franchise works for them.
The MagiKats Franchise costs £10,000. Your initial fee includes:
Your monthly fee includes access to the following:
Question: A MagiKats Principal has 60 individuals enrolled and turns over around £6,500 per month. These individuals attend workshops spread over four hours weekly and two staff members assist the Principal by providing tuition. How much does the Principal earn in a year?
Answer: This MagiKats Principal could earn around £52,000 profit per annum. But what about the 60 individuals – where do they come from? The UK tutoring market is worth £6.5 billion per year and in 2014, 2.8 million children received additional tuition. Here's a supplementary question for extra credit – can you work out the percentage of those children you need to attract to get your 60?
Question: "Working with MagiKats has been more extraordinary than I could ever have anticipated. As an engineer, I would not have thought I could find so much pleasure working with children and teenagers – seeing them develop as individuals is just as rewarding as hearing about their exam results." Aidan Mills, MagiKats Centre Manager.
"Being a MagiKats franchisee has completely changed my life – for the better! I now have plenty of time for my family and friends, whereas before I used to be rushing from home to work. Life is 100% more enjoyable nowadays!" Stefanie Kosky, MagiKats Principal.
Imagine you are working in the same business as these people. Describe how you would feel as you woke up every morning.
Answer: The answer rather depends on your perspective. Do you want to work in your own business where you look forward to the coming day? Working as a MagiKats Principal is challenging but extraordinarily rewarding.
In the 2016 Smith & Henderson Franchisee Satisfaction Survey, they scored 100% satisfaction amongst their franchisees for work/life balance. Over 90% said they would buy the franchise again. This is because MagiKats take the success of their franchisees very seriously – whatever their goals.

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego State football team has had notrouble identifying Navy's offensive plan of attack for Thursday'sPoinsettia Bowl.
Stopping the Midshipmen and the triple-option running game, however, is a different matter.
In 12 games this season, Navy averaged 53 running plays and 12 passing plays.
While opponents know they're facing a run-based team, the Midshipmen averaged 5.41 yards per carry and finished with the fifth-most rushing yards among 119 Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
Aztecs coordinator Rocky Long said his defense knows it will bend in the school's first bowl appearance since 1998. It just can't let a Navy team that is averaging 41 points over its past six games run wild.
"It's just like a great passer: you're not going to shut them down, you have to limit the times they score," Long said. "They have answers to everything you do."
San Diego State defeated Air Force on Oct. 16, a team that oftenutilized the triple-option. But unlike Navy, the Falcons don'texclusively feature the triple option.
SDSU head coach Brady Hoke said the Aztecs studied nine or 10 formations used by the Midshipmen compared with 163 different formations used by Air Force.
"Their (Navy) whole deal is on their execution," Hoke said. "They're going to execute it better than you are. They're going to be tougher at the line of scrimmage than you are. They're going to be a physical, harassing offense down the field."
The Aztecs believe the key to slowing the Midshipmen, who havewon seven of their last eight games, is stopping fullback AlexanderTeich and senior quarterback Ricky Dobbs.
Teich -- who took over at fullback earlier this season when starter Vince Murray was injured -- averaged 6 yards per carry and scored five touchdowns. Dobbs ran for 860 yards and 13 scores and also threw for 12 touchdowns. The two helped anchor an attack that ran for 521 yards in a 76-35 win over East Carolina on Nov. 6 as Teich ran for 157 yards on 14 runs and Dobbs had 100 yards on 17 carries. Navy followed that effort with 437 yards in a one-point win over Central Michigan.
"It's going to be a lot on the (defensive) line and taking the fullback out and just us playing hard, playing tough and not getting blown off the ball," SDSU defensive end Ernie Lawson said. "It's a tough offense to defend just because they can do so much."
Long said Navy takes advantage of its opponents in the way it aligns itself on every play. The Midshipmen constantly switch their alignments -- forcing defensive players to change their own assignments -- in hopes that the confusion will lead to a mistake. Whereas linebacker Miles Burris might be assigned to the fullback on one play, on another his primary focus might be Dobbs or split back Gee Gee Greene.
"You have a set job every play and you have to do it," Burris said. "They count on your errors to make big plays."
But Navy isn't without its flaws, Long said. The Midshipmen lost to Maryland, Air Force and Duke this season despite averaging 391 yards in those games.
Opponents also held Navy to under 200 yards rushing three separate times this season. That gives Long -- who is confident that his defense will align itself correctly -- hope.
"We believe you have got to give them different looks," Long said. "They've still got players who can screw up in execution too. They're not perfect. They're not infallible. The quarterback will misread things some times. He'll hand it to the fullback when he should keep it. They're just really, really good at it. They don't make too many mistakes."
