CEPA EXPO in Prague next week
We are ready for the big show in Prague. More than 4 months 5 people were working on the organization of the 2012 CEPA EXPO. Myself i talked and mailed personally to for sure more than 1000 people. The good news is that no one ever doubted that this show will make a breakthrough and even many people cannot come, they dropped me a mail saying how much they appreciate our efforts.
Aviation needs a help. EU cannot do this for us all, we have to pave our way to the next decade and connect over the whole world. People in France, USA and everywhere in the world are interested and will be connected with us through our stream and we need every support.
David, Lubo, Petra, Bulat, Lada and many more, thank you for everything. It was very tough to get everything toghether especially after our new setup and technical tools we will use for the first time. We created our own messanger system called CEPPANGER to connect the auditorium and the panels and have all the comments seen which are posted by a special app for the smartphones.
Our nameless, countless helpers who believe in the project working for free. I do thank you all when we will open the 3rd CEPA EXPO which will be held in 2013 at the Prague Airport.
Welcome on board

Questfest – Canberra's inaugural folk/fantasy heavy music extravaganza has taken the ACT/NSW Metal Scene by storm, generating a heap of hype over the current months, with some of Australia's best and quirkiest bands of the heavy metal genre teed up to plunder and pillage The Basement. For the vast majority of Australia's largely-casual metal community, one would be entirely confused at the concept of Questfest, this is where organiser Karl French steps in to educate the squires of Australia's metal scene. We sat down with French and asked him the questions that I think we're all asking about Questfest…
How long has this been in the planning stages for?
Questfest has been an idea I've had floating around for a while. Especially after witnessing the increasing popularity of pop culture events and bands that fall under the broad genre of 'folk/fantasy' metal. As for putting pen to paper, or the planning stage, I've been working on this for a few months now. Luckily enough, I am in a position where having personal connections with all these bands have made it virtually seamless in pulling them all together. The Basement, Belconnen, have also been great supporters of metal music, and of my band Saralisse, so when I approached them, they were more than happy to host Questfest.
Why create this event? What motivation do you have for starting such a festival?
A love for fun bands, a love for playing gigs with fun bands and a very serious case of ADHD. Through playing shows and meeting other bands and show goers I've seen an overlapping of people who enjoy this genre of metal and people who love things like Live Action Role Play (LARP), Role Playing Games (RPG), fantasy literature and cosplayers, I wanted to take these two worlds and merge them together. These are things I enjoy and it's the kind of event I would love to go to and since there wasn't anything like it around Canberra/NSW I decided to give it a crack and see what comes of it. Plus, it was a super easy way to get to see a bunch of my favorite bands all on one night.
Do you have any plans to expand Questfest to other cities (i.e. Sydney or Melbourne) if the inaugural edition is successful? Perhaps with larger, international bands topping the bill? Or will this always stay a Canberra-specific local metal festival?
It's funny you say international bands because I have already had one small international band approach me wanting to play this year, which was awesome even before the announcements were complete, there were other bands out there already keen to be involved. I would definitely love to expand it and take it to Sydney or Melbourne there's a heap of bands out there I would love to get on future lineups as well, so the idea is definitely bubbling away to expand but that will really all hinge on how 2018's Questfest goes!
Outside the obvious main attraction of the live music, will there be other things going on during the day? Surely there has to be a LARP event happening during the day!
Well, the overall allure is that these aren't just bands, they're costume clad story tellers, weaving tales of wonder and mystery all whilst shredding it on stage. That alone is hopefully a pretty big attraction in itself, but on top of that we will be having a cosplay/costume competition with huge prizes for grabs; like drinking horns, band merch, cds and plenty of other loot. We will also have a lucky door prize. For something a bit different and unexpected, we will be having a quest as part of Questfest. It will be like a massive scavenger hunt in the lead up to the event, with a big list and instructions that will be put out on the morning of Questfest. Again, there'll be a huge prize with more of the same as before plus goods, from a bunch of local businesses in Canberra who have generously donated prizes and vouchers as well.
What can we all expect in the coming months in terms of announcements? Will there be big things in the works for the inaugural Questfest?
The main thing will be the lineup announcements, we have already put out a couple of absolutely outstanding acts and I can't wait to announce the rest. The majority of bands on the bill have never played in Canberra before, so it's going to be a really exciting opportunity to see these guys in a killer venue. Definitely attempts will be made to encourage more people to show up and participate, to get involved with their costuming, singalongs and having an awesome time, the bigger the party is going to be! I would strongly encourage people from all over NSW/ACT to put in your work leave form now and come check it out!

Kale Caesar Salad with Chickpea Croutons
I find I have a harder time eating salads in the winter, I find green leafy veggies to be quite cooling and will usually try to incorporate them into my stews or soups. Then I saw this the Crowd Pleasing Vegan Caesar Salad on Oh She Glows and it looked to good to not try it. Naturally, given that I am a rebel that cannot follow recipes and directions I adjusted a few things along the way.
This salad is so comforting, with roasted chickpeas in lieu of croutons and a lovely, hearty cashew dressing. This salad packs tons of fiber via the kale, lettuce and chickpeas which also add protein alongside the hemp seeds and cashews.
- 2 cups chickpeas (can or boil your own)
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1 TBSP hemp seeds
- 1 TBSP nutritional yeast
- 1.Season chickpeas with smoked paprika, salt, pepper and olive oil then roast them in the oven until they turn golden.
- 2.For the dressing blend all ingredients while gradually adding water until the dressing is smooth and fluid.
- 3.Chop the kale and massage with a pinch of salt until tender, add chopped lettuce. Dress the salad with roasted chickpeas, nutritional yeast and hemp seeds.

Bearings • Roller Bearings
Roller bearings is a type of rolling element bearing. They use cylinders that are greater in length than the diameter. Relative to ball bearings, roller bearings have higher radial load capacity. They have low axial load capacity and higher friction. Also in comparison to ball bearings, the bearing capacity of roller bearings can decrease at a faster rate if the inner and outer races are not aligned properly. Common types of roller bearings include cylindrical, spherical, tapered, and needle. They are ideal for heavy-duty and moderate-speed functions. But cylindrical bearings have lower speed capabilities.

Shannon Edwards, President of TriStar and our office manager, Allyson Rentsch, are attending the annual ASPPA Conference in Washington D.C. this week. Much of the conference is focused on telling congress to keep their hands off of our 401(k)'s.
Savemy401k.com writes, "Congress needs to reduce the deficit, and part of deficit reduction will most likely be "tax reform" that increases tax revenue." Are you interested in getting involved? Tell Congress you don't want them to take away tax incentives which help American's save for retirement, it only takes a second, send an e-mail here.
While at the ASPPA Conference, attendees had the opportunity to meet with members of congress. Here, Shannon meets with Caleb Krautter in Senator Tom Coburn's office.
"I'm really proud to be a part of an industry that cares so much about helping Americans save for retirement," Shannon said upon her arrival in Washington D.C.

Keeping Your Food Safe When the Lights Go Out
A couple weeks ago I got home from work to find that all of my clocks were flashing… and we all know what that means! Luckily my power wasn't out for long, but it did make me think about what would happen if I were without electricity for a few hours instead of minutes. The only thing I would really be concerned about right away is how to keep the food cold in my refrigerator and freezer. It's important to be prepared for these types of situations and know how to react in the event that a power outage takes place (which is bound to happen to you sooner or later with the crazy weather we have here in Wisconsin!). Below are some basic tips from the FDA for keeping your food safe when the power goes out:
- Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible to maintain the cold temperature.
- The refrigerator will keep food cold for about 4 hours if it is unopened.
- A full freezer will keep the temperature for approximately 48 hours (24 hours if it is half full) if the door remains closed.
Once the power is restored:
- Determine if your food is safe to eat
- If an appliance thermometer was kept in the freezer, check the temperature when the power comes back on. If the freezer thermometer reads 40°F or below, the food is safe and may be refrozen.
- If a thermometer has not been kept in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. You can't rely on appearance or odor. If the food still contains ice crystals or is 40 °F or below, it is safe to refreeze or cook.
- Refrigerated food should be safe as long as the power was out for no more than 4 hours and the refrigerator door was kept shut. Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs or leftovers) that has been above 40°F for two hours or more.
If you plan to eat refrigerated or frozen meat, poultry, fish or eggs while it is still at safe temperatures, it's important that each item is thoroughly cooked to the proper temperature to assure that any foodborne bacteria that may be present is destroyed. However, if at any point the food was above 40 °F for 2 hours or more — discard it. Keep in mind that perishable food such as meat, poultry, seafood, milk, and eggs that are not kept adequately refrigerated or frozen may cause illness if consumed, even when they are thoroughly cooked.

PREVIOUSLY: "Pull over here!" Juco ordered.
"Pull over here!"
"Why?" Beauregard asked.
"Because you have to lose that car—our enemies know that car."
"You want us to walk?"
"Of course not, you imbecile," Juco was losing his patience, "I have another car for you—and new identities."
"Very well," Beauregard replied, "Then what?"
"Then we drive to your new home," he replied, "Where you will lay-low until I give you your orders."
And just like that—the car was replaced and each had a new appearance and names: Robert Smith, Jim Wilcox, and Mike Hale.
Smith/Beauregard was not all that happy about exchanging a fine Chevrolet for a… a… MOPAR! But what's a poor, evil, schmuck, like the former Beau Tarrant Beauregard to do?
Author's note: Here, GENTLE READER, is an image showing how the appearance of our bad guys have changed.
Before & After the change.
To give you a clue—about who's who.
Season 16—Adventure 2—A Game of Chess—Episode 7—Scene 1—Inside Robert Smith's New Cabin… "You'll remain here until I give you new orders—you'll not have the ability to leave, so don't try."
Smith knew better than to argue—after all, he owed his success to Juco. He'd been able to confound law enforcement in multiple locations and centuries thanks to him.
"Do you have any idea what may be next?"
"Do you have any idea what may be next?"
"No, Juco replied, "I have to deal with Cujo and get her out of our way."
"How are you going to do that?"
"I have found an entity even more powerful than she," he replied, "I now must go find it and convince it to remove her from this dimension."
Episode 7—Scene 2—Near the Mountaintop of the Spirits… Juco called for the Entity to appear—and nothing happened.
He called again—and again nothing happened—the Entity did not appear.
And yet—he persisted.
And yet—he persisted.
FINALLY—the Entity appeared, "I am PENANCE! Yeah, yeah, I hear ya—be quick with your request—I'm getting whupped at cribbage and I gotta get back—and kick her ass!"
"I respectfully request you eliminate an entity who has made my life miserable."
"And I would do this because?"
"And I would do this because?"
"Because she is a do-gooder and foils my schemes," Juco replied, "And you are known in our circles as one who despises good."
"Very-well, who is this do-gooder?"
"With pleasure—she irritates me, as well."
Juco smiled, "Thank you."
"Yeah, yeah. Now begone! I must return to my cribbage match!"
To be CONTINUED…

I had a pretty low morning and have been thinking of Jerry all morning and something he said to me years ago keeps playing in my head. When I asked him what would I ever do without him, he said to me, "Go on with it, but miss me a little."
Just for kicks when I sat down this afternoon I googled miss me a little..... I don't know what made me do that, but this is what I found. I am amazed and really don't know what to think or how to take it. TAKE I WILL THOUGH!!
Please add your own special verse; I'd like to read it with you.
Miss me, but let me go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free
Miss me a little – but not too long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me – but let me go
For this is a journey that we must all take
And each must go alone
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home
When you are lonely, and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me – but let me go
Views: 192
Misty, I think what it is saying is go on living. It takes a while until we can really "let go", for that is what grief is. It's hard to accept our loved ones are really gone and it does take time. I remember waking up each day hoping it was just a bad dream. I would also wake myself up talking to him. Letting go is a process— intellectually, we know they are gone but we have to accept it on many levels within our brains. Heart, soul, physically, emotionally— the pain is gut-wrenching and we need to heal ourselves before we can really let go and find our peace. But, we must let go. We will always remember them (and miss them) because part of them will always be with us.
it's a beautiful poem.
Along similar lines, one by Henry Scott Holland
All is Well
Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.,
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.
Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you, and the old life
that we lived so fondly is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name,
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little
jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that
it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort, without the
ghost of shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was,.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere
very near, just around the corner.
All is well.
I've read this before and love it. thanks for sharing with us all!
Ran across this one while doing laundry and reading a book of poetry my daughter gave me. Seemed to "strike close to home" for me:
It feels good when we run across something that really speaks to our hearts, doesn't it! Thank you, Norm!
now that made me cry.
Love that!
Glad you liked it. It's easier said than done though!! :)

This crazy fucktard -- for whom, even before this, I had absolutely nil respect -- thinks a professed belief in Christianity is "an important part of our qualifications to lead." Goddamn, if it ain't just like a Baptist, saying something like that. And I know he's not alone, not by a looooong long shot.
People in this country who haven't darkened a church doorway in decades still have "Christian" as one of the many unexamined items on their mental "President" checklist. It's like they think that no matter what they themselves do or say or believe, no matter how righteous and moral a life they themselves may in fact lead, regardless of church attendance or Bible Study group participay or whateverthefuck, we've for some reason got to have a Christian in the White House -- like an atheist or a Muslim or a Jew could have no moral compass, would be weak at the knees in some fundamental way, would necessarily endanger us somehow, without the Holy Bible close to hand (never mind whether the professed Christian President had ever actually read a SINGLE FLIPPIN WORD of the bible, or lived a single day in a Christlike way, or had any idea what any of it meant -- see: Current Occupant, who constantly runs his miserable cake-hole about his alleged "faith" but is about as far from Christlike as any person in human history).
So you know what? Shut the fuck up, John McCain. Just shut the fuck up. You're embarrassing yourself, AGAIN, and you're making the rest of us as crazy as you are.

Political Instability Prompts Pessimistic Outlook for CIS
CEIC WorldTrend Data Talk - July 10, 2014 The Ifo World Economic Survey (WES) published in the second quarter of this year reveals a positive outlook on the global economy, but with the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as an exception. The survey results point to strong expectations of a better economic situation in the Middle East, North America and the European Union. On the other hand, the CIS, which consists of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan, stand out among all the regions, with the worst outlook since 2009, due to tensions within the region. The Ifo WES provides experts' consensus on the general economic situation, with expectations of trade volume and value (the trade balance), the inflation rate, interest rates, currency valuation and share price level. Survey results are aggregated into region level and presented on a 9-point scale. Indicators within the range of 5 to 9 suggest that the majority expects the trend of the indicator to be positive (good, better or higher), while the range of 1 to 5 suggests the opposite. Other than qualitative sentiment, the WES also includes inflation and growth rate estimates, which offer quantitative insights. The outlook for the CIS is pessimistic mainly due to the political unrest between Russia and Ukraine. The CIS has the worst half year outlook among all the regions in terms of its overall economy (3.5 out of 9), capital expenditure (3.1) and private consumption (3.2), which have all edged down from a level above 4 points in the previous quarter. It indicates that a majority of the respondents in the CIS expect these aspects to deteriorate in the next six months. The survey also highlights the lack of capital expenditure in the CIS, with a present score of 2.3, close to the post-crisis period in 2009. The low level of capital expenditure is a sign of corporate caution over the outlook for product demand and spending on plant and equipment. Apart from the general economic situation, the results also suggest the CIS has the worst outlook on the foreign investor climate, the overall investment climate, trade volume and share price level among all the regions. The majority of the CIS respondents believe that the volume of imports will decrease in the second half of 2014 - the indicator has halved from a neutral level of 5.3 in the previous quarter, to 2.7. The severing of natural gas supplies by Gazprom, Russia's state-controlled gas company, to Ukraine in mid-June is behind the slump in confidence. If the dispute persists, disruptions of gas supplies in Europe are conceivable as the region is at the receiving end of the gas pipeline from Ukraine. Chart 2 shows the impact of the two previous gas wars in 2007 and 2008 (highlighted in pink) on the natural gas price from Russia. During December 2006 to March 2009, when the gas supplies from Russia to Ukraine were limited, the quarterly average price index (2010 = 100) surged from 105.2 to 170.1, a 61.7% increase. Although the price index was quite stable at the beginning of the dispute, history shows that the pressure of insufficient supply will push up the price eventually. Regarding the most important economic issue in the CIS, the top three selected by respondents are: i) Lack of international competitiveness; ii) Capital shortage and; iii) Insufficient demand, as illustrated in Chart 3. Political instability is an evident deterrence for foreign investments and economic activities within the region. Worries about inflation, ranked the fifth serious problem within the CIS, are not very strong. Despite its relatively low priority, inflation is overwhelmingly perceived to increase, with the outlook indicator for inflation at 8 points out of 9, the highest since 1999. In the second quarter of 2014, the average expected inflation rate among the surveyed experts in the CIS was 8.6%, compared to 6.8% in the previous quarter. High inflation would have a negative impact on the economy, but the political unrest is a more compelling issue to be handled. Unless Russia and Ukraine settle the crisis, confidence is unlikely to be restored within the region.

While the country seemed excited when Prime Minister Narendra Modi publicized a diamond quadrilateral of bullet trains to attach the four major cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai in his undertaking called "Smart cities" project, critics have a lot to say. There are details to be happy about this project and there are details that drive us to ponder if this is the first priority of a nation with mainstream of its population below lack line. Let us look at it from all opinion of views and make our own opinion on this.
Pros of Bullet trains:
- Speed: High speed is one of the main motives for the suggestion of this idea when it was first started in India. Main cities linking with towns of economic growth face the problem of fast transport. This would save time and boost trades amongst the connected cities. Reduction in commuting time is greatly obligatory in Mumbai and other metro cities where a lot of time is spent in the process.
- Comfort: These trains would utilize high grade knowledge to provide relaxed journey of long hours within just a few hours. Improvising on the comfort level of train journeys have been a lost factor in Indian railways and the outline of bullet trains would be a great growth in this factor.
- Safety: Previous there were questions elevated on the safety issues of these high haste trains but the network of Japan shows outstanding records of safety. Ever since the bullet trains started in 1964, has reported zero fatalities.
- Avoid overcrowding: Creating commuting easier from small city to major cities would lessen the crowd of payment and migration in major cities which would decrease pressure on growing urban areas. Chief Minister has rightly stated decongestion of Bangalore as one of the reasons for the bullet train.
- Stronger and eco-friendly: Not only these High haste trains are stronger enough to carry heavier weight but are also ecological as they do not require deforestations to set tracks. It is a modern and technologically advanced means of conveyance which can be a step towards development and growth in India.
Cons of bullet trains:
- Cost of structure: The cost of laying a bullet-train corridor is projected to cost up to Rs 100 crore a kilometre. After summing up the prices of signals, rolling stock, etc, the cost can rise up to Rs 115 crore a km. Process and maintenance costs would also be high.
- High fares: Fares of these trains would be high too in order to recompense the expenses and upkeep. One way fare on Mumbai-Ahmadabad route is projected to be about Rs 5,000. Quite few Indians would be able to have enough money travelling with these expenditures. And even those who would be eager to pay such a high price might prefer roving planes instead. If this factor is not careful, then the project might show to be a loss for the government.
- Time consuming project: The project is at its initial level of development and it is predicted that the application of the plan would take years. In between if there is a change in government, and then the project could face the penalties.
- Land acquisition: For laying tracks, there would be subjects of land gaining which might trigger anger amongst masses whose everyday living might come under menace. For instance placing these tracks in Mumbai would need acquisition of land which has the largest favelas in the city.
- Other issues: This project might have other matters under India's present disorder including afflicting of power sector, choice of speed and device, minimum length of the route for the viability of the scheme, etc. It is important to understand whether or not India is prepared for this change.
Bullet train has arrays of pros and cons under India's current situations and they need to be properly handled so that it brings prosperity and development in the nation and not debacles. Every issue must be considered wisely and protection of people's living should not be compromised. There are risks in this development but without risks nothing big can be learned.

A lot has changed around our house since my last post. I started a part-time seasonal job at a major retailer. It's not a lot of hours at the moment, and so far only temporary, but I'm optimistic. My husband has been taking charge of Jack while I'm away at work, and so far the bonding time between the two of them has been really wonderful. Jack loves all the extra quality time with his Dad, and Jeremy really enjoys himself as well. I love coming home and finding them playing with toy cars or reading books. Jack doesn't seem too bothered by my absence, in fact, I don't think it really phases him at all, which is both a great relief and a slight disappointment.
However, Jack has been going thru a number of behavioral changes that trouble me, even though everyone I speak to about it insists they are normal behaviors of a one and a half-year-old boy. Jack hit's, scratches, and bites me and only me for the most part. I do not believe this behavior is a result of my working because it stated before that. Jack's ferocious temper has been making a nightly appearance as he is down to one nap a day. He goes to bed like a perfect little angel, sleeps approximately 45 minutes to an hour, then wakes up enraged for some unknown reason. He does not want a thing, and will barely tolerate my consolation, he struggles in my arms, but when I go to put him down he screams harder and reaches up for me. Every night we do this for an hour or two and usually some random activity will calm him down long enough so that he will accept sleep again.
In other news, I have applied to a local community college and have started the registration process. This is an important step on my "I don't want to work in retail forever" to do list, also known as my "I hate khaki pant's and here's what I'm doing about it" list. I haven't decided on a course load yet, I want to get my feet wet first before I decide to take on a full load. I'm up for the challenge, I just don't want to bite off more than I can realistically chew, but again, I am optimistic.

"Bragg gratings in step-index polymer optical fibers: photo-inscription and characterization for sensing applications",
Caucheteur Christophe
Mégret Patrice , soutenue le 2017-02-23
Abstract(s) :
(Anglais) In this thesis, both uniform fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) and tilted fiber Bragg gratings (TFBGs) have been first successfully photo-incribed in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) polymer optical fibers (POFs) using a Helium-Cadmium (He-Cd) countinous wave (CW) laser with 30mW power at 325nm and the phase mask technique. Then, special characterizations of FGBs in POFs for temperature, axial force, transverse force and saline concentration were conducted. Finally, surrounding refractive index (SRI) sensing applications were performed using TFBGs with and without a coating. Since PMMA POFs have large bending tolerance and good biocompatibility, both FBGs and TFBGs in POFs have great potential for in vivo sensing applications.

SSD vs HDD: Pros and Cons
Want a super-fast computer?
This book will teach you all the PC speedup tricks known by computer technicians. With its help you will be able to make your PC blazing fast without spending a dime on software or professional help.
These days SSDs are getting plenty of attention and a lot of people recommend using them instead of good old spinning disks. But is it a good idea to make the change already? Or not just yet?
What is an SSD?
First of all, I'd like to remind you what SSDs are. Basically, a solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store data. It emulates a hard disk drive interface, thus easily replacing it in most applications. Most SSDs use NAND flash memory.
Hard disk failures happen all the time. A lot of stories have been told about how data was lost and what agony it was to retrieve it. Why do HDDs fail? Because of wear and tear – after all, they have mechanical components that can break, just like a car.
A flash-based SSD doesn't have that issue. It has no moving parts, therefore there is no wear and tear. Having no mechanical parts make SSDs immune to physical vibration, shock, and extreme temperatures. For example, nothing will happen to an SSD if you drop it. It is their ability to work in extreme conditions that makes them very attractive for military use.
However, they have their own problem. The NAND flash memory endurance cycles are still too low. That's why data retention is much shorter than with conventional hard drives.
You can prolong the lifetime of your SSD by either using good quality SSD optimization software or be simply leaving it alone. Never-ever use traditional disk defragmenters on your SSD unless you want it to pack up way before its time. Defragmentation uses up precious write cycles and reduces the lifetime of your disk.
Speed is the main advantage of a solid-state drive. SSDs offer blazing-fast performance being 100 times faster than HDDs. This incredible speed difference is due to a much shorter access time (less than a millisecond for an SSD compared to 17 - 18ms). If you want a big performance gain, switch to an SSD.
Another advantage of SSDs is that they make computers blissfully quiet, since there are no spinning platters to make that typical grinding noise you hear when your hard disk retrieves data.
But then again, you need to keep in mind that NAND flash memory never gets better in performance over time – only worse.
Price and Size Matter
Price per GB and capacity are the two main disadvantages of solid-state drives. They still are a lot smaller than traditional hard drives, which means that you simply won't have a lot of disk space. This means that you will have to take extra care and manage your SSD space more effectively. A program like Folder Size will help you do just that by letting you review the size of your files and folders. But basically you'll need to think twice when you download something or install huge software, and you'll need to pay attention to maintenance, such as disk cleanup, duplicate files removal (any duplicate file finder will do - Easy Duplicate Finder, Auslogics Duplicate File Finder, Duplicate Cleaner, you name it).
SSDs are not that popular yet because they are really expensive. Most people are not prepared to pay extra $200–300 for a laptop just because it comes with a solid-state drive.
The Verdict
Solid-state drives are not going to replace hard drives yet, not until their price drops and they match HDDs in size. But if for you speed gain is crucial and spending more money is not a big issue, SSDs are a way to go.

Can you name the best SSD's available in the market no matter the price is...
Nice Post by the way
prices have come down a lot now for SSD's. I would say give it another year!
Ive noticed you HARDLY dwelled on the BIGGEST issue with an ssd. you mentioned it, but you didn't stress it. THEY GO BAD. you only get so many read and writes per sector, and its done. after that read/write cap is hit, you CANT recover it. that's sort of a HUGE thing to ignore. i thought this was a pros and cons article not a pros and a slight downside article.
Good to know, thanks for getting back to me. I think the drivers may be an issue with Windows, but as long as it works on USB then at least I still have a full system during the change over :-).
Hi Snurre,
Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know if I can either
1) Mirror my existing system onto the SSD,
2) Continue to use the Hdd from a USB box while I setup a new system? (it has a boot manager installed on it)
Hi Snurre, I was happy to find this, as I have been considering switching to SSD. Do you think that it is worth it for a netbook? (1.6GHZ, 2GB RAM, Win7) I would like a power gain, but love the portability of the netbook size!
Thanks for SHARING.
Thank u for the information about the differences between SSD and HDD. As you said, the price is the factor.
what a nice overview about SSD hard drive, thanks for sharing this and voted up
The fact is ideally a system would have both SSD and HDD with onsite back-up for redundancy. Most users just want their pc's to function well and at this point HDDs still offer the best compromise for most users. As for the reliability of NAND storage devices one need not look further than the smart phone in their pocket and consider how often you back up the information stored within. If you, as a pc user, are willing to go to the same lengths with your system then spend the coin jump in and enjoy the performance boost!
I like SSD, but it is too expensive to buy it.
hey,this is really very informative hub. SS D's gives you experience of awesome speed and reliability's of data.They prove to be cheaper than HSD if you compare it on performance basis.
Well done, you have written this hub in a way that even I a non 'technical' minded person can understand and I learned something new today. I never knew how the hard-drive back up that I use for my photos worked but I have a better idea of that now.

Dear Dessert, why are you bad for us? Specifically sugar. Why, sugar, why?! ????
There's a lot of opportunity in this world for healthy desserts, but we have to be realistic about it. Dessert, even when prepared with whole ingredients, or cut back on refined sugar, will never really be "healthy".
So, even though our delicious Cinnamon Apple Almond Crumble is definitely on the healthy side of the dessert scale – sweet stuff should always be enjoyed in moderation. I know, I know – it's heartbreaking.
Our Cinnamon Apple Almond Crumble was inspired by Zellie's sudden die-hard love for anything apple pie and apple pie related. What triggered this die-hard love was her first bite of little individual apple pies made from scratch by Cody's aunt Marne.
Even I, not a big fan of cooked fruit, had to admit that they were pretty darn amazing! Long story short – ever since that day we've been talking about doing a low-carb dessert inspired by apple pie/apple crumble and that day has finally arrived. Yay!
The goal with this recipe, as with any other low-carb/healthy dessert, was to keep it as simple as humanly possible and to use whole, natural ingredients. So, 6 ingredients later (one of them being optional) we had a delicious dessert on our hands.
How to make Low-Carb Keto Cinnamon Apple Pie / Crumble?
- Chop up an apple, we prefer Granny Smith, and sprinkle it with cinnamon.
- Blend some almonds until they're very fine – it smells like cookies! No, seriously! Cookies!
- Stir some honey and melted butter into the blended almonds, crumble it on top of the cinnamon-y apple and slip it into the oven for 30 minutes.
- Once that timer pings, your kitchen will most likely smell like heaven and you'll be drooling just a little bit…maybe.
- Remove the yumminess from the oven and serve it right away with a little bit of plain whipped cream, though it's entirely optional, we definitely recommend it.
After developing this recipe I think I might finally be converted to a cooked fruit appreciator. Well, cooked APPLE, to be specific. This is a keeper recipe for sure! You're welcome.
Here's a couple more ideas if you're looking for low-carb desserts or sweets:

For Senegal, their hopes of making it through the World Cup ended Thursday in a rare and questionable fashion.
Senegal and Japan ended up tied in a series of categories, and for the first time in the history of the World Cup the result came down to FIFA's "Fair Play Conduct Points", which accounted for yellow card fouls given by referees during the group stage games.
1. Colombia (2-0-1, 6 points)
2. Japan (1-1-1, 4 points), (-4 "fair play points" for 4 yellow cards.)
3. Senegal (1-1-1, 4 points), (-6 "fair play points" for 6 yellow cards.)
Specifically, there is good reason to believe that individual Senegalese players are significantly more likely to receive carded fouls compared to their Japanese counterparts because of differences in how players of different races are refereed.
There is plenty of scientific data on the prevalence of racial discrimination in sports. Maybe most relevant here is the 2013 report entitled "A Statistical Study of Racism in English Football".
Researchers at the University of Manchester analyzed player data collected from two hundred and ninety players and seventeen teams to determine the number of fouls, yellow cards, and red cards given to players of different ethnicities both by English and non-English referees. The study was conducted in the English Premier League from 2011-2012.
The writers acknowledge that this result is significant, however they also say that there could be deeper factors than racial discrimination influencing the results of the data.
What if the differences in cards account for differences in aggressiveness or style of play between different groups?
It turns out that this hypothesis has also been well researched:
In 2013, a substantial research study found that non-White players in the EPL were 15% more likely to receive a booking than a White player, after controlling for player, team, referee and match characteristics.
They analyzed over one million in-match events, and "perhaps most importantly found that between White and non-White players, aggressiveness and style of play was not found to be statistically different".
This is a multi-layered issue, from the implementation of rules, to the representation of populations, to the underlying assumptions and narratives that permeate the culture of football.
The forms of discrimination from the referees is consistent with the types of representation seen at the management level; only two Black individuals occupy management spots across all of the ninety two teams in the Football League (Cashmore and Cleland 2011).
It doesn't end here. A study entitled "Racism in Soccer?" found evidence that suggested Black individuals were thought to be more aggressive and associated more with threats compared to White counterparts.
One explanation of this was down to the fact that Black individuals were often viewed as more athletic and thus perceived to be more aggressive.
Look no further for evidence of the underlying culture around these issues than Sunday before Senegal and Japan drew 2-2 to get them into this situation.
Japan's coach Akira Nishino said that "[Against Senegal] rather than physicality, we have to use our brain to come up with some tactics and strategies", reasserting this common narrative among commentators, pundits, and now coaches.
By having the rules dictate that certain tiebreakers will be decided by "Fair Play Conduct Rules", FIFA has built these dynamics into the structure of the tournament, increasing the weight of their significance and allowing for the types of situations we're seeing now.
It could very well be that this tie breaking mechanism, ironically called "fair play", allowed a deeply unfair system to make the difference between elimination and continuation for Senegal and the continent of Africa at large.

Having worked at Jigsaw for a period of time, I can tell you this issue was brought up by a number of customers and potential customers.
One potential client said "it is a great idea, but you are going to get sued like crazy" when I tried to sell him the membership. Jigsaw is positive that they don't have anything to worry about. Legally, they may be in the clear but ethically, that is a whole new ball of wax.
Fowler is a very charismatic guy and he sells this idea all the way to the bank. He says that all this information is public, since it is what would be on a business card, therfore he is not crossing privacy lines. Also, since no cell phone numbers or home numbers are allowed, the executive's privacy is not being compromised.
I just remember having a lot of clients questioning the ethics of this model and I lost sales because of the uncomfortable nature of what I was selling. It was always a touchy subject with clients and Jigsaw management always got defensive when the issue was brought up by Account Executives.
I think when Fowler started he ignored the naysayers and only focused on the positive reactions. He had me sold on it.

Dr. Mohler Discharged From HospitalSBTS Student forwarded an email he received from the Executive Assistant to the President at Southern Seminary. The email said,
"I am very pleased to share with you that a short while ago Dr. Albert Mohler was discharged from Baptist East Hospital in Louisville, KY. After a two week hospitalization that included extensive abdominal surgery and a four day stay in the Intensive Care Unit due to pulmonary emboli in the lungs, he and the family are overjoyed to be home. This, indeed, is welcome news and a much anticipated milestone in Dr. Mohler's recovery.
"Please now pray that Dr. Mohler will gain the rest and strength he needs while recuperating at home in the days ahead. As you may guess, he is eager to resume the full rigor of his Presidential and ministerial duties.
"The Mohlers are deeply grateful for the many prayers that have been offered and the expressions of concern so many of you have shown over these past couple of weeks. On behalf of the Mohler family, thank you once again for the Christian love and support you have shown them."
Please continue to pray for Dr. Mohler.

A statement from Cocksparrer
PSK, Sweden. We're really sorry but unfortunately we are unable to get to Sweden today for our show in Stockholm. This is the first time in 45 years that we have missed a show and we're absolutely gutted. It's been a really stressful day at the airport. British Airways ended up cancelling ALL their flights due to a problem with their systems worldwide. However, we had already managed to get checked in and our bags and guitars taken from us and put on the plane ready to leave. The plane had a full crew and the pilot wanted to take off. They even sent 2 buses to drive us to the plane, so we thought our flight would make it. …
West side boys
Due to personal family crisis, Riton founder member of West Side Boys, has to cancel his appearance at PSK. This means that WSB will have an stand-in on rhythm guitar. Riton and WSB have looked forward to this gig for months and were fully prepared and hope that no one will be disappointed. We at PSK wish Riton with family all the best.
Print your tickets!
We would appreciate if you could please bring your tickets printed on paper to save time in the doors.

Bedtime Is Story Time
Kshama reciting the story of the witty old woman, who escaped the man-eater by hiding in a pumpkin, to Samarth. We, and scores of generations before us, have grown up listening to these wonderful folk/fairy tales from our mothers and grandmothers.
A visual representation of the above story can be enjoyed here (Chal Re Bhoplya Tunuk Tunuk).
Halloween Is Coming Soon…
…and a quick trip to Lowes confirmed this fact.
Sunday night Kshama, de repente, took out water colours and brushes and started to paint. Samarth as usual followed suit and joined her in the painting spree. I, on the other, found a good blogpost in making and went Bam Bam Bam…with my camera.

Today's is the information world, where information is the key to success. If you are not updated with the latest, chances are you will be left behind and eventually be at a loss. Take for instance today's consumer, the subject of this post. Everyday we, the consumers, are literally strafed with a barrage of advertisements, recommended products, you-may-also-like, customers-who-purchased-this-also-purchased, deals, discount coupons…ad infinitum! Tough this information overload may seem useful what it does is actually confound us. 😦
Here is one such confounded and confused consumer…

Forecast Highlights:
– Isolated storms continue Sun, scattered storms Mon-Tues
– Briefly cooler temperatures for Weds-Thu; 50s for lows
– Gradual warm up for late next week
Saturday, August 25 Observations:
Following Friday's warm temperatures, cooler temperatures were observed on Saturday with more cloud cover and isolated storms over northern NJ during the mid-late afternoon hours. Temperatures ended up in the lower to mid 80s in the immediate NYC area and the upper 70s to lower 80s in Long Island/S CT. The estimated temperature outlines were not filled in for western NJ due to missing data from the three NWS observing stations in that region. Remarkably, Central Park had the warmest high temperature in the area, tied with Teterboro; this is the first time this has happened this summer.
Tonight – Tuesday: Clouds, Scattered Storms
Partly to mostly cloudy skies will continue over the next few days as clouds and storms drift north from the southern Mid Atlantic. Most storms will stay west and southwest of the area, towards Pennsylvania, although mostly cloudy skies and isolated storms are still expected for Sunday with highs in the lower to mid 80s from NYC and further north/west and the upper 70s to lower 80s in Long Island/S CT. A cold front will then approach the region on Monday, moving through the area on Tuesday. Mostly cloudy skies will continue on Monday and at least parts of Tuesday with scattered storms expected especially for Monday night and Tuesday. High temperatures on Monday will be similar to those of Sunday, if not slightly cooler, with slightly warmer temperatures for Tuesday.
Wednesday – Next Weekend: Cool, Warmer, Then Rain Possible
A trough will briefly move into the region for Wednesday and Thursday, resulting in colder temperatures as a high pressure moves in with 850mb temperatures dropping to near 10C. Wednesday is expected to have highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s across most of the area, with slightly warmer temperatures for Thursday, although overnight lows on Wednesday are expected to be quite cool; with mostly clear skies and a cool air mass, low temperatures are expected to drop into the 50s away from NYC, with low 50s inland towards NW NJ/SE NY. It is not out of the question that a few interior areas may drop below 50 degrees, although for now I am sticking with low 50s in the 5-Day Forecast.
Temperatures will then gradually warm up for the late week as warmer 850mb temperatures move into the region, with widespread low-mid 80s for highs returning on Friday, possibly a bit warmer in the immediate NYC area. The question then becomes what happens with Isaac's remnants, as there are two main possibilities at this time; one is where Isaac slows down after landfall in the Gulf of Mexico and is pushed east towards the Southeast coast and then offshore, the other is where Isaac continues to drift north into the central US, with its remnants then moving further east/northeast into the Northeast and/or Mid Atlantic, possibly including the NYC area. Until the exact scenario for Isaac once it moves inland becomes clearer, confidence remains lower for next weekend's outlook, although the possibility is there for storms to affect parts of the region, possibly including the area, perhaps associated with Isaac's remnants. Stay tuned for more information on next weekend's outlook.
Tropical Storm Isaac: Approaching Florida
**Updated at 10 PM to add new information and map
Following Isaac's sudden late minute intensification burst last night, Isaac made landfall in the western tip of Haiti, which disrupted Isaac's developing inner core and caused the storm to weaken from a 70 mph tropical storm to a 60 mph tropical storm with a minimum pressure of 1000 mb this afternoon. Since then, however, Isaac's minimum pressure has slightly dropped to 997 mb as Isaac managed to avoid spending a prolonged period of time over central Cuba.
Isaac's Track: Isaac is currently just north of the coast of eastern to central Cuba, and is moving NW. A general NW motion will continue for the next 2 days as weak ridging rebuilds north of Isaac with the tropical storm expected to move through the Florida keys late on Sunday through early Monday. This path will then take Isaac into the Gulf of Mexico, where it will continue to move WNW/NW before gradually turning more to the north later in the period as it approaches the Gulf coast. The model guidance differs regarding where landfall takes place, with the GFS showing landfall around the New Orleans region and the ECMWF showing landfall southwest of Tallahassee, FL; with Isaac's current fast speed and the continued WNW/NW steering currents, as well as recent trends with the model guidance to shift the landfall west, my adjusted forecast has Isaac making landfall in southeastern Mississippi, although the exact location is still subject to change and may end up somewhere between central Louisiana and southwest of Tallahassee, FL.
Isaac's Intensity: Land interaction has taken a toll on Isaac today as its appearance has become less organized during the day following Isaac's Hispaniola and Cuba landfalls. Isaac has slightly strengthened over the last few hours with the minimum pressure dropping 3 mb, although the latest observations as of 10 PM show that more convection is forming near Isaac's center northeast of Cuba. While the environmental conditions are not completely supportive for rapid intensification with the lowest wind shear still southeast of Isaac's center and Isaac still not showing a very organized appearance, additional intensification is likely to take place overnight into Sunday, and it is not out of the question that Isaac becomes a hurricane a bit earlier than currently forecast.
Once Isaac moves into the Gulf of Mexico, however, conditions will be much more favorable for intensification, and the possibility is there that Isaac may rapidly intensify in that region depending on how it emerges into the GOM. At this time, Isaac is expected to reach category 2 intensity, and should rapid intensification take place, category 3 hurricane could very well be within reach. Most of the models at this time strengthen Isaac into a strong category 1 hurricane; I am going more bullish than the model guidance with the intensity given the rapid intensification potential, but a little conservative compared to Isaac's full potential, stronger than a weak-moderate category 3 hurricane, although this will only be possible should Isaac end up with near ideal conditions for rapid intensification which is not a high confidence call at this time. The possibility is there that Isaac may fail to quickly intensify, in which case it would not intensify much more than strong Cat 1/weak Cat 2 intensity and my forecast intensity may have to be adjusted slightly downwards, although environmental conditions in the Gulf of Mexico appear supportive of more intensification, potentially rapid. The current intensity forecast is not final yet, however, and may still be revised downwards or upwards.
Regardless of exactly where Isaac makes landfall and with what intensity, Isaac has the potential to be a damaging hurricane where it makes landfall, and the entire Gulf coast from western Louisiana to Tallahassee, FL, including New Orleans, needs to keep a close eye on Isaac with a hurricane landfall likely.
