Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have proven the naysayers right.
The "Transformers" hottie and former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star have broken off their engagement and parted ways, reports Usmagazine.com.
"The relationship had run its course," a source told the celeb magazine. "They both realized the time had come to go their separate ways. It's completely amicable, and they are remaining friends."
They are now "both focusing on their careers," adds the insider.
Fox, 22, first met Green, 35, in 2004 and got engaged in November 2006. They even got tattoos of each other's names (she put his name on her hip).
Green is a regular on FOX's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." He previously dated fellow "BH, 90210" stars Tiffani Amber Thiessen and later Vanessa Marcil, with whom he has a 6-year-old son, Kassius Lijah.
Fox will reprise her role as Mikaela in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," in theaters in June, and star in the Diablo Cody-scripted "Jennifer's Body," scheduled to premiere this fall.

Key to success for one college grad is simple livingBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
August 24. 2013 11:06PM
"Live simply."
That's the advice Chelsie Hatfield would give college students, to avoid getting mired in debt by the time they graduate.
Hatfield, 24, grew up in Jefferson and studied nursing at Colby-Sawyer College in New London. She graduated in 2011 with a nursing job at the V.A. Medical Center in White River Junction, Vt., and about $58,000 in student loan debt.
But two years later, she's paid off all but about $20,000 in federal loans. And she said, "If I keep going at the rate I'm going, I will be done by this time next year."
The eldest of three children, Hatfield said she always knew that she'd go to college but that her parents couldn't help pay for her education. She credits her upbringing for why she's so careful about living within her means.
"When you grow up simply, you learn to live simply," she said.
Throughout college, Hatfield worked summers and during the school year so she could pay as much as possible in cash. And to avoid accruing interest on her federal nonsubsidized loans, she paid about $50 a month all four years.
Since graduation, she's continued that frugality, paying off a Sallie Mae loan first because the interest rate was higher than on her federal loans. And whenever she had any extra money, such as a tax refund or bonus, she paid down the principal on her loans.
In stark contrast, her roommate graduated with nearly $200,000 in student loan debt.
Her advice to other students to make college more affordable? "Live simply, and prioritize your debt before your dreams."
Some, she said, pay only the minimum payments on their student loans each month. "They look at their school debt as a mortgage: I'm going to have it 30 years."
Not her.
"I made it a priority coming out of school to take care of the debt. I just continued to live simply. And I think most people when they get their first job, it's just money in their pocket and they do a lot of spending...."
She recently bought her first new car, a Volkswagen Jetta.
Hatfield likes the President's idea of a college ratings system. "It'll be good incentives for schools to provide appropriate financial aid and to increase the academic standings that they require for people as well."
But she also would like to see a cap on tuition increases. She thinks schools often spend money on expensive luxuries that have nothing to do with education.
If she had five minutes with President Obama, she said, "I would tell him to think about the fact he's got two little girls who will be going to college before too long and how it's going to affect their family dynamics."
And she said, "You can't have people ... having good careers to stimulate the economy if they can't afford the education to get these positions."

Elizabeth Banks signs up for Walk of Shame
- Bang Showbiz
- 18 October 2012
Elizabeth Banks has signed up for comedy 'Walk of Shame', which will her portray a character who thinks she's lost out on a dream job and goes on an uncharacteristic heavy night out before embarking on a "walk of shame"
Elizabeth Banks has signed up for comedy 'Walk of Shame'.
The 'Hunger Games' actress will star as a Los Angeles TV anchor who goes on a "walk of shame" after an uncharacteristic heavy night out when she loses out on an audition for her dream job.
But after waking up in a stranger's bed without her car, money and no recollection of what happened the night before, she listen's to an answer phone message from her agent which tells her she's landed the job. So she must endure a "walk of shame" across several neighbourhoods in an attempt to be on air by 5pm.
The motion picture is due to start shooting in January in Los Angeles and be directed by Steve Brill from his own script, with Tom Rosenberg, Gary Lucchesi and Sidney Kimmel set to produce.
Elizabeth recently turned her hand to producing this year in comedy musical movie 'Perfect Pitch', and 2013 looks set to be a big year for the 38-year-old actress when she stars in and directs comedy 'Movie 43', which features a large ensemble cast including Halle Berry and Kate Bosworth.
The blonde star will then reprise her role as Effie Trinket in 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'.

Ten. To some it is a perfect score, to others just another even number; but for Javier Mancha it was the acreage he obtained and worked by hand every day since he returned from the Vietnam War in 1969.
For the U.S. Army 1st Logistical Command veteran it was a cherished portion of God's green Earth and that sliver of Maverick County, Texas, land on the Mexico border was all he needed to raise and provide for a family over the next four decades.
Humble beginnings
Mancha's Rosita Valley farm is known for growing some of the hottest peppers and sweetest melons. It is in this fertile valley that Mancha raised and sold enough produce to put four daughters through college, and eventually obtain additional land that now allows him to raise cattle.
"I have always loved to farm," Mancha says. "I married my wife in 1967 and began my career as a farmer in 1970. Together we have raised cantaloupe, watermelon, peppers, squash, hay grazer and alfalfa."
Mancha has a sense of family pride that is depicted simply by listening to his story and letting his eyes tell you of his challenges in the agriculture arena.
"Mancha is a rare family name," he explains. "When my father was 10 years old he came to the U.S. (from Mexico) and he was soon responsible for helping his mother raise a family and provide for his siblings. In 1946, he opened a grocery store in Eagle Pass and worked as a butcher and baker."
That work ethic is still held in the heart of Mancha's grandchildren, as they can be seen in the summer months selling their grandfather's produce at roadside stands.
In 1983 those original 10 acres turned into 40 and Mancha grew to be respected and known for the same high quality and dependability as his crops.
Struggled at times
"We struggled as farmers at times, but I learned not to fight nature but work with it and I tried to learn something new every day that would make it easier for the next generation," Mancha notes.
Mancha does not apply herbicides to his produce, and when mechanical weed removal will not do the trick you will see him with nothing more than a garden hoe and his own two hands taking care of his crops.
"It is an enormous sense of pride to not only farm, but to know that it is what has provided for my family," he says. "I could not have done it alone, I had good people support me and help me along the way."
Conservation ethics
In 1975, Mancha entered into a Long Term Agreement (LTA) with what was known as the USDA-Soil Conservation Service, now the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Through this agreement a variety of conservation practices were applied to his Rosita Valley farm. He started and completed critical land treatment, land leveling, irrigation water management and irrigation canal lining.
"USDA-NRCS is part of the reason I can have such satisfaction as a farmer and rancher today," Mancha relates. "They helped me to learn about the business. I diversified my crops so that each year I would have something to sell."
Mancha didn't stop at his 40 acres of farmland. He bought 500 acres of irrigated pastureland in El Indio that had been abandoned, abused and overgrown with mesquite and other undesirable brush. Trusting his partners in conservation he turned yet again to NRCS for guidance and put together a conservation plan that would help to achieve his goals to heal the land.
"I have enough land to support my family, I do not want anymore," Mancha says. "I just want to work on what I have and make it better."
As a brush removal method, a root plow was put in the ground and a test plot was put into place to see how the land would react. Shortly after, success was seen, and this opened the door for a variety of practices that now lets the land support a cow/calf operation.
Mancha worked through the NRCS-Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to root plow and remove the undesirable trees and brush growing in his pastureland, build cross-fences and used irrigation NRCS technical assistance to improve the existing irrigation system.
The ranch is located about a half mile from the Rio Grande River, and through the intricate irrigation system in place, Mancha receives the tail water off the over 90 miles of canal structure. This is used to water livestock and irrigate his thick stand of Tifton 85 and coastal bermuda.
"The Maverick County Water District #1 is responsible for the irrigation system," Mancha explains. "The main canal broke five weeks ago and you see how quickly our farming and ranching community relies on that water."
Water in short supply
Crops can be seen wilting on the roadside and for some resident's drinking water is at an all time low without that water source. Mancha, who serves as a director on the Maverick County Water District #1, worked with his fellow chairmen to repair the structure and return water to the land as fast as they could.
Mancha is currently in his fourth year as a Maverick County Soil and Water Conservation District chairman were he continues to pursue his own conservation education and share with others.
"Mr. Mancha has done so much in the last four years for our district," says Serafin Aguirre, NRCS district conservationist in Eagle Pass. "The Board has sent five high school students to Junction for the Youth Range Workshop, held district fund raisers and overall been more active within the community."
Battling fever ticks
As the fever tick became a major concern, Aguirre and NRCS were present to help Mancha as he found himself in the middle of the quarantine zone.
Even though the tick was eradicated in 1943, with due time the Boophilus annulatus and Boophilus microplus have made a comeback. Both are capable of carrying the protozoa that can transmit the disease Babesia or tick fever, which kills cattle.
Mancha, with aid from NRCS, built the cross-fences needed to set up a rotational grazing system that allows tick riders to work a smaller area.
Once a month the cattle are penned and treated. Partnerships like this are what will close the book on the invasive species and allow livestock and wildlife to flourish in south Texas once again.
In it for the long haul
Even though cattle are the only livestock on his operation, Mancha also manages for the improvement of his turkey, deer and dove populations.
"Drought has had a major impact on our vegetation," Mancha notes, "but nevertheless I was not forced to sell. I kept replacement heifers because of the good grass. It produces a lot of feed and has kept me in business in the worst drought in 50 years.
"Being a farmer and rancher has meant so many things to me," he continues. "When I was young I just wanted to see my crops grow; now I know that I am part of the contribution that feeds America.
"I could easily retire, but I am not ready to give this up," he says with a smile and deep sense of satisfaction.
Seeds, soil and water were the foundation for Javier Mancha to begin his lifetime career of farming after returning from Vietnam, and those are the same three things he still strives to conserve today.
Early in his life, Mancha served his country to protect lives and provided a living for his family. Now Mancha continues those same ethics protecting the resources on his land so he can continue providing food for Americans.
Mancha uses the saying "Arrímate al Árbol que da buena sombra" which when translated is "Get close to the tree that provides good shade." He said this sums up his lifetime full of enjoyable and grateful experiences in the farming community and his partnership with the NRCS.

Jefferies (NYSE:JEF) cut its price target on Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to $800 from $900 on Monday, citing the likelihood that the Silicon Valley tech giant's growth slows in fiscal 2014.
Continue Reading Below
The analysts, however, maintained their "buy" rating on the Cupertino, Calif.-based iPhone maker and kept their fourth- and first-quarter EPS and revenue estimates unchanged.
The brokerage blamed its outlook on Apple's early 2014 iPhone build plans, which it says indicate a deceleration of growth in an already well-saturated smartphone market.
Apple trimmed its current-quarter iPhone build plans to 60 million from an earlier 60 million to 65 million range and first-quarter iPad plans to 25 million from 30 million.
Jefferies believes Apple's product leadership will enable it to benefit from multi-year technology trends in smartphones, 4G and tablets, but warned of supply constraints, production problems and pricing pressure from Google's (NASDSAQ:GOOG) Android.
The analysts maintained their revenue and EPS guidance on Apple over the next two quarters, which are well above the consensus.
Apple's shares, which are up 32% from January, slipped slightly to $521.58 early on Monday.
At the same time, Jefferies said several new product updates next year could boost Apple's unit market share but aren't expected to contribute much to sales and earnings growth.
For example, the iPhone 5S, which is slated to launch in June or July with a new super HD camera/screen, improved battery and storage capacity, may come at a lower price point, which would help Apple gain unit share, but could fail to materially impact EPS and sales.

Somehow I think if you buy an "industrial" mat for a hundred bucks -- and you do not happen to be a "commercial" kitchen -- the darned thing should last almost forever. I'm pretty disgusted and disappointed!
When did the slits/holes appear? If it was within the first year, then you could have exchanged it under their 1 year warranty. Of course, now it's probably too late - but it doesn't hurt to ask them I suppose... Their number is 1-866-435-6287

It began to curl up on the edges during the year's warranty (but this was not considered to be any kind of defect) -- and I'd say the HOLES appeared about 6 months after the warranty was up. Have talked to the company, and they are not too helpful -- at least not when we called them. We were sort of surprised to find that they had little concern about the mats past the first year. I'd think, given the price, they'd be a little more interested!

I had a mat for about a year and the edge started to curl. I called GelPro and they were great about it. They replaced my mat for free. They indicated that some of the older mats would do that, but the newer ones shouldn't have the problem. However, they said that if they did, they'd replace them for free.
I love my gelled mat. I could stand on it for hours.

I bought one of the large mats and thought it was great. I immediately bought 3 more for my mother, s-i-l, and friend.
And, about 5 months later, in four different households the ends started to curl up, then the edge all around the mat turned up - they became dangerous trip possibilities.
Once a week I would flip mine over and let it sit upside down for a while, but that only helped some. My s-i-l's almost completely dissolved.
I called Gel-Pro and they said I was past the year warranty (by about a month) and that they would give me 10% off on a new mat.
So, I flip mine over and over and use it up side down sometimes, my s-i-l's has been trashed, and my mother's is taped to the floor.
No more Gel Pro.

Post subject: Shoes for the house and cooking
Get a pair of birkinstocks to wear inside the house, including your kitchen. I had back and hip problems, and a heel spur, and finally bought a pair as an experiment. They are too ugly to wear outside of the house, but they are super comfortable.
I believe they cured the heel spur completely, after wearing them for awhile. They give incredible support to your back, legs, and hips because of how they support your feet and body. They look uncomfortable, but actually become very comfortable. THey are also cool, as they are open sandals. They are better than going barefoot. Going barefoot is actually not the best for your back and feet. You start having bad posture, which in turn affects your back posture, getting it out of alignment and causing huge problems. Birkinstocks keep your spine more in alignment.
They also give your feet exercise as you walk around in them, because of their construction and how you grip with your toes to walk in them.
I have one ugly pair that I have had for several years now. They don't wear out, and as I said I only wear them inside the house.

We've had our mats since Christmas 2009. That's all we requested from our kids. We've got a 24"x36" one in front of the stove and a 24"x72" that extends from where the other one leaves off under the counter to the wall (in front of the sink), resulting in an L-shape. I am very overweight, and though I wear shoes when I cook, the mats are necessary to provide relief from pain after long cooking-and-cleaning episodes.
We've not had any cutting or curling; they clean easily; but without a textile rug in front of the sink (over the mat), water drops land and track through the kitchen.
However, at this time, we

Post subject: Crocs vs mats
Working in professional kitchens I have come to love Crocs for inexpensive foot support and protection in the kitchen. I have a pair at home for use specifically in the kitchen - these are not "outside shoes", but considered more like slippers and live in the kitchen. For $40CDN these have been simply perfect in every way. There is a model designed for chefs, with closed toes, sides, and heels that I use and highly recommend.
If you have more money to spare, I also hear great things of Birkenstocks from co-chefs.
If you have even more money, or simply must cook in socks or barefoot, then these gel pads sound good. Personally I feel they make a kitchen more dangerous due to changing floor surfaces increasing the potential for a slip when you step a socked foot onto a slippery floor.
Thanks for such a nice website, I've been reading here for a long long time.

Maybe for the next installment, they can go off to college and find something better to do than making these silly movies.
Good news: The shrill CG rodents, who last infested theaters in 2009's Squeakquel, are stranded on a jungle island with little hope of survival. Bad news: They've brought us along.
See all Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked reviews at Metacritic.com
OK for kids 6+
Silly threequel is full of pop-culture references and jokes.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this third installment in the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie series is more of the same -- lots of pop culture references, physical comedy, and a few suggestive moments. There's nothing overly troublesome in Chip-Wrecked, but young kids might be frightened when the Chipmunks wind up on the deserted island, especially when its lone inhabitant turns on them and captures a Chipette. Two of the chip-characters engage in an overt flirtation and (tame) romance; Alvin also tries to hit on a woman who's gambling at a casino, and the Chipettes wear notably short outfits. The movie's ultimate message is one of family and friendship, but it's a bit buried underneath the sense that the whole thing is a commercial for Chipmunks merchandise.
Educational value: This is not an educational movie -- it's strictly for entertainment purposes.
Messages: The movie's most crucial positive message is that family means unconditional love, something Alvin doubts when he realizes that he's disappointed Dave again.
Role models: Dave is a positive role model because he tirelessly tracks down the Chipmunks and saves them. The Chipmunks and Chipettes work together to find a way off the island.
Violence and scariness: There's some mild peril and lots of slapstick. Theodore is frightened of a movie called Jungle Monster, which he shouldn't be watching. Young viewers might be upset when the chipmunks and then Dave and Ian are washed away toward the deserted island. A few precarious situations pose a danger to the characters, but no one is hurt (although a greedy island dweller captures Jeanette and forces her to locate hidden treasure).
Sexy stuff: There's a love interest between the Chipmunks and the Chipettes -- particularly Simon and Jeanette. Simon is poisoned and winds up acting like an accented lothario, which leads him to romance Jeanette, hug her, and kiss her hand -- as well as save her from imminent danger. The other chipmunks insist that Simon and Jeanette went on a "date." The Chipettes' routines feature some suggestive dance moves, and in one scene, they challenge a trio of human Jersey Shore-like caricatures and sing and dance provocatively. One song has lyrics like "I wave my tail back and forth," which the girls sing while wearing just a towel. Eleanor sews outfits that would be considered "sexy" on a human. Alvin also flirts with a woman gambling at the cruise casino.
Language: Occasional use of insulting comments like "no you didn't!" or "little rodent" or "fat" and "pain in the ..."
Consumerism: The Carnival brand plays a prominent role, since it's the cruise line the Chimpunks are on before they go overboard. Other brands mentioned or shown include Swiss Army, YouTube video references, and Apple. Off camera, the Chipmunks are featured on McDonald's Happy Meals and various toys, video games, and apparel.

Wayne Simmonds' first All-Star weekend after a nine-year NHL career was strange enough. Having Wayne Gretzky for a coach made it even more surreal.
And after he scored the tiebreaking goal to become the All-Star Game MVP in his former home city, the Philadelphia forward could only think of one word for his West Coast trip.
"Weird," Simmonds said with a grin.
Indeed, the 3-on-3 format of this revamped midseason showcase can lead to weird hockey. It also allows the game's biggest stars to create moments of offensive beauty, and Simmonds' winner with Taylor Hall certainly qualified.
Simmonds completed his hat trick with 4:58 to play, and fill-in coach...

ADM Says Video Mocking Them Is Copyright Infringement; Abuses Copyright Law To Stifle Free Speech
from the not-cool dept
Friedman points out how this is a clear abuse of copyright law and a violation of free speech:
This is outright copyright abuse. Criticism is fair use. When anyone asks whether in fact fair use is grounded in the Constitution's guarantee of free speech, all you need is to think of a situation like this -- one can appropriate copyrighted works to criticize and parody the copyright holder. And to use the copyright laws to silence that critique has nothing to do with protecting intellectual property and the rights of a creator to profit from his, her, or its creation: it's unconstitutional censorship!The courts have tried to reconcile the question of how copyright law can possibly survive a First Amendment challenge (after all, the First Amendment says Congress shall make no law that interferes with freedom of speech... and yet that's exactly what copyright does) by saying that a robust fair use exception is the key to making it okay. But when fair use is trampled on repeatedly, it makes you wonder how anyone can still claim that copyright isn't a massive abuse of the First Amendment.

I'm a first time bunny owner by a series of fortunate events.. My boyfriend's mother moved out of state and did not want to take her rabbit with her. We also have her two dogs that she "should" be coming back for by the end of this month. Hah.
Anyways, I am now owned by a strange rabbit. He was raised with a dog.. yeah, i don't know how that worked out. Don't really want to know. He was in a smallish cage on pine bedding and being fed whole apples and ice burg lettuce along with a loooot of pellets.
So, I did what any self respecting animal lover would do and got him set up in a nice NIC cage (that was fun to make!), got him on Oxbow (his owner didn't even leave any food for him to eat..), a large litter box, aspen, and hay. It was so strange to see him not eat his hay at first.. guess Timothy isn't his thing (I'm allergic to it anyways, haha), but now he loves oat and orchard grass! He's a silly little boy and doesn't quite understand what it is to be a bunny but he's learning. The first time he popcorned was fantastic to see and just yesterday he was binkying around so quickly he hit the wall.
Anyways! Presenting Mister Bunington (anyone know what sort of rabbit he is? He looks like a dark gray, almost black, but his under coat is a very light grey, and clearly he looks brown in certain light), eater of jeans and the gracious master of MyBoyfriend'sRoom Manor.

And the senate re-votes on ethanol subsidies, with better results
0 Comments | Posted by gimme-five in Econ, Environment, Politics
Shortly after my last post, the Senate re-voted on whether to eliminate ethanol subsidies, and this time, the measure passed, 73-27. Apparently many Democrats who voted against the earlier measure on alleged procedural grounds voted for it in this instance. Though perhaps they voted for it because it was attached to the Economic Development and Revitalization Act, which the Washington Post posits is unlikely to obtain final senate approval.
Ethanol Subsidies and Anti-Tax Absolutism
1 Comment | Posted by gimme-five in Econ, Environment, Politics
On June 14, 2011, the Senate voted on a bill to repeal $6 billion in annual ethanol tax subsidies. These ethanol subsidies are wasteful and unhelpful to Americans, as I have discussed in prior posts. For example, ethanol production requires a large amount of land area, some evidence suggests that ethanol costs more energy to create than it yields, using corn for fuel increases the price of food, ethanol adversely impacts fuel economy and damages older vehicles, and even damages newer vehicles when in high enough concentration (see the prior three links for more information).
Despite the fact that politicians almost uniformly agree that the nation has a debt problem, and thus needs to either decrease spending, increase taxes, or both, the measure failed, because there were not enough votes to overcome a filibuster.
There are two sources of blame for this. First are the Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted against the bill. Supposedly one of the major reasons was because Harry Reid whipped against the bill due to alleged procedural problems. Though I think the more likely answer is so that Democrats can attempt to grandstand about creating or preserving jobs, no matter how worthless the jobs are. (For example, President Obama recently remarked on the Today Show, that "there were 'structural issues with the economy. . . . You see it when you go to a bank you use the ATM, you don't go to a bank teller.'") It's true that subsidizing ethanol will preserve jobs in the ethanol industry. Though of course if those jobs are worthless, then the government might as well be paying people to dig holes and then fill them up again. It is inexcusable that Democrats would overwhelmingly continue to support ethanol subsidies when the evidence simply shows that they do more harm than good.
But the more surprising source of blame are a select group of Republicans, led by Grover Norquist (not a senator), the founder of the Americans for Tax Reform. The ATR members have signed a pledge that they refuse to raise taxes for any reason except for economic growth. Norquist ordered the members of the ATR to withhold support for the anti-ethanol bill because eliminating the ethanol subsidy, to Norquist, would be tantamount to raising taxes.
I disagree with the rationale for Norquist's order on two grounds. First, tax subsidies are spending just as much as they are tax increases. If the government agrees to give me $10 at tax time (spending) or agrees to give me a $10 decrease in tax liability at tax time (subsidy), the net effect is the same: the government transfers $10 of wealth to me. Likewise, the tax subsidies that the ethanol industry receives are a transfer of wealth from the government to private businesses. Whether they are characterized as a tax increase or spending cut is immaterial. The key question we should be asking is whether the costs of this tax subsidy exceed the benefits.
That leads me to the next objection I have to Norquist's order, specifically, that Norquist unequivocally refuses to consider the merits of legislation that "raises taxes," simply because he believes that it "raises taxes." Norquist refuses to consider the costs and benefits of what he thinks are a tax increase, even if they benefits would vastly exceed the costs. This of course will impede bargaining with any politician who believes that solving the federal debt problem requires a combination of spending reduction and tax increases. And this problem is exacerbated by the fact that Norquist's definition of "raise taxes," is much far too broad.

One word
Awesome :-D
Western Digital will break new ground later this month when its 2TB Caviar Green WD20EADS hard drive goes on sale. Seagate packed 1.5TB into its Barracuda 7200.11 drive by using four platters and eight heads, but WD has gone a step better and squeezed 33 per cent more storage capacity into the same space. WD Caviar Green 2TB …
Awesome :-D
Anyone know the release date of this? Need a couple for my media box - my 1TB drives are nearing capacity....
"2TB - 1.81TB once formatted"
Formatting has nothing to do with it. Using proper units will show why.
2TB = 2*1000*1000*1000*1000 = 2,000,000,000,000 bytes
1.81TiB = 1.81*1024*1024*1024*1024 = 1,990,116,046,274 bytes
Formatting a hard disk doesn't suddenly reduce its capacity by 190GB...
Bunged it in a G5 iMac. Very quiet, runs cooler than the average drive, and it's performance is way way better than the 200GB Seagate drive it replaced. Excellent and highly recommended. The 2TB looks even better.
I can't see a day when anybody will *ever* need more than 2TB of disk storage in a home computer. Hats off to Western Digital!
For about the millionth time
these drives do NOT vary the spin speed dynamically.
WD even had to issue a clarification because so many people were incorrectly making this assumption.
people have hooked up microphones to CRO's to measure their hum to prove the drive speed never changed.
the make a hard drive motor which can change its speed in the way suggested would be VERY difficult.
Unless by vary you mean : 5,400rpm and 0 rpm (the only variation it can do)
some of WD's other marketing material makes it clearer (last two words below), but i would have hoped for the tiniest bit of fact checking from a hardware review! peddling this kind of BS only serves to perpetuate the myth that WD have done something remarkable
IntelliPower™ — A fine-tuned balance of spin speed, transfer rate, and caching algorithms designed to deliver both significant power savings and solid performance. For each GreenPower™ drive model, WD may use a different, INVARIABLE RPM.
That's for the 1TB one.
I already have over 2 TB and im almost full, I'll take 4!
I have my entire dvd collection dumped on my hard drives as images as well as music, high def home movies and such.
Only downside to having such a big drive is risk of failure, so best use them in pairs in a raid.
You're quite right Mr Anonymous that the capacity is not reduced by formating and that this is the difference between true capacity and the wretched 'decimal' Gigabytes that appear on the specification..
The point is that you only see the true capacity once the drive is installed and formatted so it appears that formatting eats capacity.
In this context 'formatted capacity' is short hand for 'you actually get'
I've found a site where you can pre-order them for those who are interested:
I would get more but I'm happy with the 3TB I've already got (RAIDed of course). Problem I find with these big drives is the cost in that you have to buy at least 2 just in case one dies and you loose all that data.
Unless the article has been modified since your reading, it states:
complete with IntelliPower motor control which means that some drives in the product range may have a rotational speed of 5400pm while others may operate at up to 7200rpm
Which clearly (to me) indicates the speed is set at the factory per unit, and does not vary at all. So your comment:
these drives do NOT vary the spin speed dynamically.
Seems to agree with how I understand the article in the first place.
We need a "defending the author" icon.
Is there a model which comes with a complete case, trying to compete with the Raptor-X by having the platters open like that really isn't good idea.
When will it eat our data then?
With this much (video) data, you most certainly don't want to risk losing it all !
Luckily, that's what ZFS is built to do -- protect it from loss:
"reports came flooding in that Barracuda 7200.11 drives were dying at an horrendous rate"
It's *A* horrendous rate...
What is it with computer peoples' fascination with thinking that TiB are the "true" units? Historically, the ONLY computer-related units which have been in the power-of-two magnitudes have been memory and hard drive space. Everything else (CPU speed, network bandwidth, display resolution, etc.) have always been in the proper scientific power-of-ten magnitudes. There are very solid technological reasons for memory to be based on power-of-two magnitudes, but there aren't for disk space, and fundamentally it's not like it really matters to the end-user to begin with. And yet, operating systems still report hard drive space in powers of two instead of powers of ten, which then leads to the ridiculous "formatted capacity less" weasel words which only serve to add to the confusion.
We should stop taking hard drive manufacturers to task, when the blame lies SOLELY in the hands of the OS vendors.
Thanks to the new "extreme" pr0n laws storage needs are in freefall across the England and Wales.
Then again our Jacqui Smith's Uberdatabase could probably fill 200 of these a minute...
An 'orrendous rate would work, too ;-)
pictures on page one are a2 platter 4 head drive. Only picture on the last page shows a 4 platter drive , and then i even doubt that its the 2Tb drive.
It is always dissappointing to encounter data graphed in a misleading way. In this case, the obfuscation was acheived by using a non-zero crossing point for the x-axis on several comparison graphs.
A prime example of this is your comparison of Burst Speed - at first glance the Intel X25-M appears to be many multiples faster than its rotating disc rivals... but the truth is the difference is less than 20% between fastest and slowest!
Attempting to emphasize a point is one thing, but the poor choice of graphing technique only succeeds to make the review seem amateurish - more suited to a mass-market newspaper article than a report from a "respectable" tech focused website.
It's not - it's "an horrendous". Just because most people don't write it properly, that doesn't mean it's not right.
Dear me.
Paris because she probably thinks it's "a horrendous" too.
I had a friend who actually worked for WD. He (hi Dave) commented that often there are resonances in the drive and they vary the speed a bit to "tune these out". I suspect that on the factory line they tune the speed of the drive to have the minimum amount of resonance while the drive is running. This can lead to quieter drives since they won't shake rattle and roll. I suspect that this is the "dynamic" they are talking about. This variation in speed is just ONE of the many "tricks" they do in making large capacity drives.
Now if they made it in wide SCSI it would be even better!!
No, its not. The letter H is not silent, nor yet is it a vowel.
As for the 'formatted capacity' debate, actually the volume does decrease, with all practical file-systems, as a certain amount of space is always reserved for bad sectors, and some need overhead space for allocation tables. The effect is not as pronounced as the 1024/1000 thing for a drive this big, but it does exist.
Actually you're all wrong ;) The reason we use 'an' before certain words and 'a' before others is purely an oral one - it's difficult to pronounce the word 'a' followed by a word which begins with a vowel sound. If, for example, there was a word which began with a silent vowel followed by a consonant, (not that I can think of any) you wouldn't precede it with 'an'.
Whether to use 'an' or 'a' in front of words beginning with an H is purely down to whether you pronounce the H or not. Both can be argued as an acceptable use of standard English. This peculiarity is largely down to the fact that the letter H, while not a vowel, begins with a vowel sound: 'aitch'.
Space & lots of it!
Agreed AC at first glance the charts are misleading, they need to be referenced to zero, otherwise it shows the highest stat proportionally a lot 'better' if thats the right word, than the remainder.
Or is El Reg being paid by Intel?
I do wish hard drive manufacturers would stop lying about the size of their drives.
We all know that all major OSes (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux (listed in no particular order)) read sizes correctly, thus:
1K = 1024 bytes.
Thus a drive of 2,000,000,000,000 is not 2TB as Western Digital would claim, but is in fact 1.81TB as the article correctly stated. Though I do like the wording "2TB, 1.81TB when formatted" - as if formatting it magically changes the definition of a terabyte.
We have laws in this country about fraud, deception, mis-selling a product, etc. How come drive manufacturers are still allowed to blatently lie about how much space you're getting, just because the average computer user doesn't know that capacities are measured in binary quantities not decimal ?
I hope one day this gets corrected and the drive manufacturers get the slap in the face they deserve. As capacities get bigger and bigger, the discrepancy between what they say you're getting and what you're really getting gets more and more. In this case, you're being cheated out of a whopping 0.19TB (194.56 GB, or 199,229 MB). Thats an entire hard drive's worth, even by todays standards.
Imagine if memory modules were sold using this system?
"The module is 2147 MB in size (2GB when installed in system)". I doubt it would wash.
-- Richard
If you hunt around you can get 2 x 1TB drives cheaper. I understand the law of 'new' products and supply and demand etc. But surely it costs them less to manufacture one drive than two despite the higher capacity platters?
Using the Queen's English, you'd pronounce the 'h' in 'horrendous' if speaking correctly, thus the printed version should assume an audible 'h' and therefore 'a' before it.
This extends out to the 'a historical' day, however it is the most contentious. However searching Google (an odd acid test admittedly) shows "a historical" has ~10m hits compared to ~4m for "an historical".
What really gets me is when people say "an historical" but also pronounce the 'h'.
And don't get me started on whether and weather... But then I'm a Scot and so pronounce it the BBC way
Yes, one can find 2x1TB drives cheaper, but then I would nee a RAID card that could handle 7 drives in order to build my 6TB RAID 5 array...
Just got a firewire drobo and shoved a load of spare old 500GB drives in there to act as a temporary backup for only my most important folders.
However, I've also wanted to be able to keep backups of all my dvds and animation work as well... some of the render outputs (particularly the folders containing 2500+ 1920x1080 TIFF files) are currently too big to be able to backup now that I've had to start making HD content.
Glad to hear it's quiet, too.. would rather not have 4 little rasping dinosaurs spinning away behind my desk when the backups are taking place.
1TB drives were not quite enough to offer a complete solution to all my backups needs, so I didn't bother upgrading.. 2TB does the job nicely.
I can't see myself needing a 4TB drive for a long time... unless something crazy like a new "superHD" standard comes along.
There seems to be the usual foolish confusion between RAID and backup here.
RAID mirroring (or to a lesser extent RAID5) gives you protection against a hardware failure making data unavailable.
In a full time RAID setup, what protection is there against data being unintentionally corrupted or deleted by the user, by an app, or by the OS? None.
If I had one of these, I'd want two of them, not in any kind of RAID config. And every now and then, I'd use some kind of file sync program to sync the copies of the data. In that way, there is some kind of window when an unintentionally damaged file can be restored from the backup. OK the intact copy may get overwritten if the damage isn't noticed before the next sync point, but only if the sync program doesn't ask for confirmation before overwriting the old copy...
yes, quite obviously, that entire paragraph was completely re-written following my rant
it originally talked about dynamically varying the drive speed
he is right that its entirely down to the sound rather than the specific letter,
the easiest example is:
an MP
even though M is not a vowel, in this context it is pronounced:
so its "an em-pee" :P
You're right that RAID is not the same as a backup, it just provides protection against data loss due to built-in redundancy.
In some advanced file system like Sun's ZFS or NetApp's offerings, there *is* protection against data being unintentionally corrupted or deleted by the user, application or OS: they are called snapshots. Files and directories referenced by snapshots cannot be deleted until the referring snapshot is deleted -- so there is your protection against loss. Also files/dirs referenced by snapshots cannot be modified -- these file systems employ a method called 'copy-on-write' which means that if a file referenced by a snapshot is modified, the file system creates a copy. If I remember correctly, the common blocks of the two files are not duplicated, to save space, but don't quote me on that :)
A traditional 2-drive mirror is fine until you need, in this case, 2.1 TB. Also traditional mirrors often don't repair files that can't be read -- the file system/RAID controller often just returns the data on the good half of the mirror. However, ZFS also repairs the faulty file on the bad side of the mirror, as indeed it does in any redundant setup: mirror, RAID-Z1 (like RAID 5), or RAID-Z2 (like RAID 6).
For backup/syncing of files that you mention, again, ZFS offers a way of doing this -- with one important difference and huge benefit: you will never lose any data that gets deleted if you use (1) automatic snapshotting (via cron every 30 minutes or whatever), and (2) use 'zfs send/receive' to send an initial full backup and subsequent incremental backups, in which ZFS detects diffs between snapshots and sends only the differences, to another storage pool, which might be on the same machine or a different machine on the LAN/WAN.

On top of that if you get involved in the Tibet Independence movement, your spirituality is connected with social activism, i.e., social activism that is religiously charged, to be beneficial in this and future lifetimes. To be politically active for the Tibetan causes translates into action for the True Dharma. Tibetan nationalism aligned with Tibetan Buddhism as a religion means your political endeavours are meritorious and count towards enlightenment.
I think this appeals to a lot of westerners who feel obligated to participate in social movements. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem, they say. So you get your activism religiously vindicated.

Open-carry gun law block upheld
Open-carry gun law block upheld
The Mississippi Supreme Court says it won't undo a circuit judge's order that's blocking an open-carry gun law from taking effect.
Justices say they made their decision for procedural reasons, not on the merits of any arguments.
Hinds County Circuit Judge Winston Kidd handed down a ruling this past Friday that blocked the gun law from taking effect on July 1.
Attorney General Jim Hood filed papers with the Supreme Court on Monday, asking justices to undo Kidd's order.
Hinds County District Attorney Robert Shuler Smith was among those who asked Kidd to block the law.
A panel of three Supreme Court justices on Tuesday denied Hood's request. That means Kidd can hold a July 8 hearing to decide whether to extend his order.

28 U.S. Code § 1963 - Registration of judgments for enforcement in other districts
A judgment in an action for the recovery of money or property entered in any court of appeals, district court, bankruptcy court, or in the Court of International Trade may be registered by filing a certified copy of the judgment in any other district or, with respect to the Court of International Trade, in any judicial district, when the judgment has become final by appeal or expiration of the time for appeal or when ordered by the court that entered the judgment for good cause shown. Such a judgment entered in favor of the United States may be so registered any time after judgment is entered. A judgment so registered shall have the same effect as a judgment of the district court of the district where registered and may be enforced in like manner.
A certified copy of the satisfaction of any judgment in whole or in part may be registered in like manner in any district in which the judgment is a lien.
The procedure prescribed under this section is in addition to other procedures provided by law for the enforcement of judgments.
This section follows the recommendation of the Supreme Court's Advisory Committee on Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (1937) which included the following rule:
"Rule 77. Registration of judgments in other district courts. A judgment entered in any district court and which has become final through expiration of the time for appeal or by mandate on appeal may be registered in any other district court by filing therein an authenticated copy of the judgment. When so registered the judgment shall have the same effect and like proceedings for its enforcement may be taken thereon in the court in which it is registered as if the judgment had been originally entered by that court. If in the court in which the judgment was originally entered, the judgment has been satisfied in whole or in part or if an order has been made modifying or vacating it or affecting or suspending its operation, the party procuring the registration shall and any other party may file authenticated copies of the satisfaction or order with the court in which the judgment is registered. This rule shall not be construed to limit the effect of the Act of February 20, 1905, c. 592, § 20 (33 Stat. 729), as amended, U.S.C., title 15, § 100; or the Act of March 4, 1909, c. 320, §§ 36 and 37 (35 Stat. 1084), U.S.C., title 17, §§ 36 and 37; or § 56 of the Judicial Code, U.S.C., title 28, § 117; or to authorize the registration elsewhere of an order or a judgment rendered in a divorce action in the District of Columbia."
Section 2508 of this title provides for the registration of judgments of the Court of Claims in favor of the United States in any district. See, also, section 2413 of this title.
The phrase "for the recovery of money or property" was not in the committee's draft of Rule 77 of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure but was inserted in the revised section to exclude judgments in divorce actions, and any other actions, the registration of which would serve no useful purpose.
1996—Pub. L. 104–317 in section catchline substituted "for enforcement in other districts" for "of the district courts and the Court of International Trade", in first undesignated par. substituted "court of appeals, district court, bankruptcy court," for "district court" and "copy of the judgment" for "copy of such judgment", and added undesignated par. at end.
1990—Pub. L. 101–647 inserted after first sentence "Such a judgment entered in favor of the United States may be so registered any time after judgment is entered."
1988—Pub. L. 100–702 substituted "Registration of judgments of the district courts and the Court of International Trade" for "Registration in other districts" in section catchline and amended first sentence generally. Prior to amendment, first sentence read as follows: "A judgment in an action for the recovery of money or property now or hereafter entered in any district court which has become final by appeal or expiration of time for appeal may be registered in any other district by filing therein a certified copy of such judgment."
1958—Pub. L. 85–508 struck out provisions which extended provisions of section to District Court for Territory of Alaska. See section 81A of this title which establishes a United States District Court for the State of Alaska.
1954—Act Aug. 23, 1954, extended provisions of section to District Court for Territory of Alaska.
Amendment by Pub. L. 101–647 effective 180 days after Nov. 29, 1990, see section 3631 of Pub. L. 101–647, set out as an Effective Date note under section 3001 of this title.
Pub. L. 100–702, title X, § 1002(c), Nov. 19, 1988, 102 Stat. 4665, provided that:
Amendment by Pub. L. 85–508 effective Jan. 3, 1959, on admission of Alaska into the Union pursuant to Proc. No. 3269, Jan. 3, 1959, 24 F.R. 81, 73 Stat. c16, as required by sections 1 and 8(c) of Pub. L. 85–508, see notes set out under section 81A of this title and preceding section 21 of Title 48, Territories and Insular Possessions.

Trading Radar: Forget Economic Data -- Next Week Is All About the Fed
Economics, earnings reports, and market events for the week ahead.
Looking ahead to next week, it won't be the economic data that dominates the news, but rather the monetary policy news. On Wednesday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will give testimony to the Congressional Joint Economic Committee at 10 a.m. EDT. While Bernanke has never been one to give away much information at a Congressional testimony, he will likely talk about falling inflation (that is, whether or not the FOMC is worried about it) and how fiscal policy is restraining growth.
More importantly, the minutes of the May FOMC meeting will be released on Wednesday at 2 p.m. EDT. After the February meeting, a number of Fed officials discussed tapering in their speeches and similar wording was found in the minutes released three weeks later. Once this idea hit the mainstream, it caused a brief sell-off in stocks, and it would not surprise me if we see a similar reaction this time given that Bernanke is unlikely to say anything groundbreaking at his testimony. Similar to February's minutes, nearly every Fed official has mentioned in a speech that they favor a tapering of asset purchases this year, so it was likely a topic of discussion. Also, the topic of excessive risk-taking in certain asset classes and disinflation have become common threads in recent speeches, so they will likely be in the minutes as well.
Also in monetary policy news, on Wednesday is the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision. Similar to Bernanke's efforts to enhance central bank communication, the new BoJ governor Kuroda will give a press conference following the decision. It is unlikely that the BoJ makes any groundbreaking statements.
One regional manufacturing survey is scheduled for the week ahead: Kansas City. The index is expected to remain unchanged at -5, signaling contractionary activity in that sector's manufacturing growth. Two home sales subsets are also on the schedule. With the large subset of housing data last week, it is likely that home sales could miss slightly to the downside. Lastly, April durable goods orders will be released on Friday with expectations of a 1.6% growth from March. Given the negative manufacturing surveys and retail sales figures we received for April, the 0.5% expectations of durable goods ex-transports growth seems optimistic.
The global calendar is actually on the lighter side. Outside of the Bank of Japan, Thursday is the largest day. China and the eurozone will release manufacturing PMI indexes. Also on Thursday, the UK will release the first estimate of first quarter GDP.
Earnings will be mostly centered around retailers. Home Depot (NYSE:HD), Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE:DKS), Best Buy (NYSE:BBY), Target (NYSE:TGT), Gap (NYSE:GPS), Sears Holdings (NASDAQ:SHLD), Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE:ANF), and Ross Stores (NASDAQ:ROST) are on the calendar. Other earnings releases include Pandora (NYSE:P), Salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ).

Looking for a 40-building complex on 450-plus acres?
Or maybe 32 buildings on 120 acres?
If so, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a closed prison to sell you.
Two older state correctional institutions -- SCI Cresson in Cresson, Cambria County, and SCI Greensburg in Hempfield, which both officially closed June 30 -- are now among a group of 37 surplus state properties listed for sale.
Also for sale: a dozen armories, a state hospital, a youth development center, and numerous residential units, according to the Pennsylvania Department of General Services.
A fair market value for the prisons -- and thus acceptable amounts for bids -- must still be determined through an appraisal, said Troy Thompson, spokesman for General Services.
"We're taking an aggressive approach to selling these properties in order to get them back on the tax rolls for the local economies," and to save the state carrying costs -- about $2 million per year for SCI Cresson and $100,000 per year for SCI Greensburg, Mr. Thompson told the Post-Gazette.
Local officials had complained vigorously about the closings, and the harm the loss of jobs would cause to local economies. Several said Wednesday they would like to see the state make a strong effort to market the properties in conjunction with local economic development efforts.
"I don't think it's good enough to simply put a for sale sign in the yard," said Ted Kopas, a Westmoreland County commissioner, who noted he believes the Greensburg facility is an attractive piece of property close to a highway. Mr. Kopas said he would like to see the state pay for building demolition, as any likely potential buyer would want to get rid of the prison buildings.
"People ask me all the time what's happening," Mr. Kopas said. "If there is a plan, I'd love to know it."
Similarly, Tom Chernisky, a Cambria County commissioner, said he hopes a buyer can be found for the Cresson property.
"That property could have many different uses," he said. "It's in a great location. It's right off of Route 22."
He added, "I'm disappointed the prison was relocated from there to begin with and how it was done. ... Now we need to move forward."
