Western Digital Unveils WD Blue and WD Green Solid State Drives
NewsPress Releases November 10, 2016 TWENTY8TWO 0
SSDs are quickly becoming the de-facto choice for PC storage needs. It does make sense as SSDs are now much more affordable, along with being much faster than hard disk drives (HDDs) in both read and write speeds. There are a number of different SSD manufacturers today; but now, leading storage drive manufacturer WD, has released their own SSDs to complement their wide range of products, WD Blue and WD Green.
Western Digital Corporation has announced the WD Blue® and the WD Green® solid state drives (SSDs), the first WD-branded SATA client SSDs. The new SSDs complement the company's industry leading family of hard drives for PCs and workstations, providing a full portfolio of WD storage devices for virtually any application.
The ultimate solution for building DIY PCs, extending the life of current PCs or upgrading existing storage, the WD Blue and WD Green SSDs boast near-maximum speed of SATA drives, best-in-class endurance and MTTF and WD Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) Lab certification, resulting in quick boot times and increased program responsiveness. For consumers who are looking for instant-on responsiveness, durability, low power consumption, and ultra-thin, ultramobile form factors, the WD Blue and WD Green SSDs are the perfect options.
Pricing and Availability
WD Blue SSD
For customers looking for enhanced SATA performance, WD Blue SSDs are optimized for multitasking and resource-heavy applications. Perfect in either a notebook or desktop PC, WD Blue SSDs are available in 500GB, and 1TB capacities, and in both 2.5-inch/7mm case or M.2 2280 form factors. The WD Blue SSD offers up to 545MB/s and 525MB/s sequential read and write speeds, and endurance up to 400 TBW. Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for 500GB is ₱8,250.00 and 1 TB is ₱16,500.00 and are now available at Ubertech Technologies, Inc., PC Options, and Gaisano Interpace.
WD Green SSD
WD Green SSDs deliver essential-class performance, and are a great option for everyday use. Available in 120GB and 240GB capacities, and in both 2.5-inch/7mm case or M.2 2280 form factors, WD Green SSDs deliver an ultra-low power-draw, enabling PC users to work longer between battery charges. WD Green features sequential read and write times of up to 540MB/s and 405MB/s and endurance up to 80TBW. WD Green SSDs will be available later this quarter to select regions and customers. Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for 120GB is ₱2,700.00 and 240GB is ₱4,500.00 and are now available at Ubertech Technologies, Inc., PC Options, and Gaisano Interpace.
Both WD Blue SSDs and WD Green SSDs are protected by a 3-year limited warranty.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has reportedly made two key rule changes from the Antonio Conte era at Stamford Bridge.
The Italian tactician replaced his fellow countryman in charge of the Blues this summer, following a difficult season last year that saw the club slump from 1st to 5th in the space of 12 months.
MORE: Chelsea and Man United stars to leave, €200m duo to Real Madrid: 10 major European transfers that could still go through before August 31
Chelsea have started brightly under Sarri, winning 3-0 away to Huddersfield Town at the weekend to get off to a winning start in the Premier League.
In a bid to improve the morale at the club, the Telegraph claim Sarri has relaxed two of Conte's old rules involving diet and pre-match preparation.
The report states Chelsea players are now allowed a more varied diet than under Sarri's predecessor, and are also not required to spend the night at a hotel with their team-mates before games, being allowed to be with their families and travel to matches closer to the time instead.

This seems wise from the 59-year-old, with Chelsea players not looking themselves in their second season under Conte, despite his initial success.
It seems the former Juventus boss' strict methods may have started to grate on Chelsea's players, so the more relaxed approach from Sarri seems a sensible way to remedy that.

The 2015 Annual Results Announcement was held by Chairman of the Company Si Zefu in Hong Kong on the same day, with Vice President Mr. Han Zhiqiao, Company secretary and CFO of the company Mr. Gong Dan, General Manager of Nuclear Power Division Mr. Wang Hong, and Securities Representative of the Company Mr. Huang Yong accompanied by attending the activity. 60 or so securities analysts, fund managers and Institutional Investors home and abroad were present at the on-site road show.
While addressing the announcement,Si Zefu pointed out that 2015 is an extraordinary year for DEC in its development when China's economy is at a critical stage for transformation and power sector in its profound adjustment. DEC, however, by seizing opportunities and overcoming obstacles, has accomplished the set target in a good manner and those achievements are not easily come by. To better adapt to the economic "New Normal", we proactively change the pace of growth, and forged ahead with "three shifts", achieved by the end of the year an annual production output capacity of 28GW, greater than that of most other major companies. The year 2016 will be extremely tough for DEC to advance development. At the beginning of 13th Five-Year Period and as a pacemaker in the industry, DEC will be fully committed to shouldering the responsibility and pragmatically working to cut overcapacity and excess inventory, deleverage, reduce costs and adjust structure under current sophisticated domestic and international environment, whereby welcoming the new development impetus in a more proactive way.
Upon the Annual Results Announcements, Mr. Gong Dan briefed the operation results of the Company in 2015, made comparative analysis based on the operation indexes of the Company, and highlighted the operational situation of common interest from investors, such as core businesses, orders in hand, scientific innovation and so on. During the Q&A period, the participants were highly responsive and spared special concern in the development of business segments, profit margin tendency, thermal power market adjustment, growth of new orders, overseas business development and so on. The road show team made correspondent answers to each respective question with great patience and sincerity.
The Annual Results Announcements and Roadshow obtained high attention from the Capital Market and received good repercussion afterwards. The common view of the said party is that DEC place high priority to the Capital Market, sincerely facing the investors and making solid communications with them, representing the responsibility of the Company to the investors, thus building up favorable image of the Company in the Capital Market.

An illness, an accident, or a condition can take away the good health of your loved one. This is something that may feel more than sorry for them. Your loved one is stripped of their strengths, and they are all left with pain and at times, despair. As their immediate family, you will certainly feel heartbroken, knowing they are never the same. At times, you may feel frustrated, knowing that you cannot do anything about it, especially if your loved one's life is already drawing to a close. However, you can actually do something. Give them comfort. Give them dignity. Have them undergo palliative care.
With palliative care, also known as end-of-life care, you are trying to make them comfortable as much as possible. You are not trying to cure or save them, so you should know what to expect. Sometimes, doing palliative care yourself can be draining and frustrating, which is why there are many hospice and treatment centers that help families. If you think that your loved one is in need of palliative care in Indiana, here are some of the signs you need to watch out for:
Hospital treatment cannot just do it
At first, the treatment seems to work, and this gives you hope. But, as time goes by, the symptoms worsen and what's worse is that it happens when they are in the hospital. The hospital, however, is not always at fault at this, especially if the case has already progressed. You have to accept the fact that sometimes, science and medication have their own limits. When this happens, you should consider palliative care — with the advice of the doctor, of course.
Your loved one does not want to go back to the hospital
With all the trips to the hospital and the fact that the disease is practically incurable, your loved one has certainly abandoned hope, thus accepting their fate. When they are already at this point, they will start refusing medication. You may be insisting it, but you will end up with just screams of refusal. There might even be some arguments. Eventually, your loved one will just wish to remain at home instead of going back to the hospital. After all, they might have somewhat developed trauma and anxiety when staying at the hospital. When they wish to stay home, it's time to consider sending them to a palliative care center.
Their doctor has already advised it
When the case has already progressed and the doctor cannot do anything about it anymore, the doctor will tell you about it directly. Oftentimes, they will recommend that you have your loved one undergo palliative care. This is one telling sign that you should not forget.
Palliative care is necessary if you want to give your loved one dignity in the remaining days of their life. It is also one way of showing that you actually care for them — that you love them. If you are going this route, make sure that you are going to work with a reputable hospice or treatment center.

Very nice skinReally like this skin, I was perfectly happy using the default Titan skin until the recent update of MP, now there is no skin editor. I, like a lot of people, use Moving Pictures and MP-TVseries and I like to have links to them in the main menu rather than having to go through the plugin link. StreamedMP gives me this back. I also find the skin just really easy to customize and use.

Thanks to a Week 17 win over the Miami Dolphins, paired with a last-minute, miracle touchdown pass by Andy Dalton, the Buffalo Bills snapped a 17-season playoff drought. But the Bills will have their hands full on Sunday, when they head down to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars in the AFC Wild Card Round.
Jacksonville enters this matchup with one of the strongest defenses in the NFL. However, the one area of the Jaguars defensive unit that opponents have been able to exploit is their rushing defense. Jacksonville finished the regular season ranked 21st in rushing yards allowed per game at 116.3 and 26th in rushing yards allowed per attempt at 4.3. With Buffalo's leading rusher, LeSean McCoy, nursing an ankle injury, the Bills will have to rely more on the rushing abilities of quarterback Tyrod Taylor.
Taylor carried the ball 84 times for 427 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and four rushing touchdowns in 15 games this season. But Buffalo's offensive line will have to be much better at protecting Taylor and providing him with time to make plays to have a chance of winning on Sunday. The Bills surrendered the seventh-most sacks (47) this year, and against a Jaguars defense that racked up 55 sacks (2nd in the NFL), that level of protection won't cut it.
Along with their strong defense, the Jaguars also had one of the most productive offenses this season. Led by rookie running back Leonard Fournette, the Jaguars ended the regular season with the top-ranked rushing offense, averaging a whopping 141.4 rushing yards per game. Jacksonville's offense also ranked sixth in total yards per game (365.9) and fifth in points per game (26.1).
A big reason for their offensive success was the late-season play of quarterback Blake Bortles. Despite struggling for most of the first half of the season, Bortles looked significantly better during Jacksonville's first four games in December. During that stretch, the fourth-year quarterback averaged over 320 passing yards per game to go along with nine touchdowns and three interceptions, while leading the Jaguars to an average of 34.5 points per game. However, all three of the interceptions came in Week 16, only to be followed by two more picks in Week 17 (both Jacksonville losses). The Jaguars will need their young quarterback to take better care of the ball against a Bills defense that ranks seventh in the league in turnover differential (+9).
This game will likely hold a little extra meaning for several members of the Bills. Jaguars head coach, Doug Marrone, served in the same position with Buffalo from 2013-2014. The Bills finished with a 9-7 record in 2014, which represented the franchise's first winning season in 10 years. But after the season's final game, it was revealed that Marrone had a three-day out clause in his contract in the event of a change in ownership. Former Bills owner Ralph Wilson passed away in March 2014, and the team was purchased by Terrence Pegula towards the beginning of the 2014 season. Marrone decided to exercise the out clause and quit on December 31, 2014, and still collected his 2015 salary in-full. His decision to leave the Bills did not sit well with the team or its fan base.
THE NFL TODAY analyst Nate Burleson weighed in on this weekend's Bills-Jaguars AFC Wild Card matchup. THE NFL TODAY with Burleson, James Brown, Phil Simms, Bill Cowher and Boomer Esiason airs Sunday at 12:00 Noon ET on CBS.
>>WATCH: The NFL ON CBS All Access – Try It Free
Buffalo Bills vs. Jacksonville Jaguars – 1:05 PM ET Sunday – CBS
CBS Local Sports: After a great late-season run, Blake Bortles has thrown five interceptions in the last two games. What does he need to do to succeed against Buffalo's pass defense on Sunday?
Nate Burleson: It goes without saying, he needs to take care of the ball. But more importantly, he needs to find that rhythm that he found earlier in December. There are a lot of people jumping on TV saying "Blake Bortles needs to throw the ball less than 20 times." I don't agree. Blake Bortles needs to throw the ball 30-40 times per game. He's proved that he can do that. What he needs to do is not force the ball downfield. That's where he gets himself into trouble — trying to make that big play. You don't have to search for the big play if you're the Jacksonville Jaguars offense. Lean on the running backs, Leonard Fournette and T.J. Yeldon, assuming they're both healthy coming into this matchup. Nickel and dime your way down the field. And protect the ball. You live to fight another down.
If you have to punt the ball or throw the ball away, that's fine. Give your defense an opportunity to win. This is one of those teams where, if you're in it in the fourth quarter and you're protecting the ball, your defense will most likely give you an opportunity to have it in your hands last. And that's what is going to matter the most. Don't get caught up in the hype. Don't get caught up in the atmosphere of trying to be the hero. Blake Bortles needs to be more of a protector of the ball than the hero with the ball.
CBS Local Sports: Neither team needs extra motivation heading into a playoff game, but does the history between Doug Marrone and the Bills add a little more excitement to this game?
Nate Burleson: Yes, of course. You understand every storyline. Dating back to when I played, there were times when we had our pregame meetings — whether it was sitting in the locker room or the night before in the hotel — and our coaches would give us every single storyline. When a fan walks into a stadium, they'll get a game-day program. You see all of the connections and six degrees of separation between all of these different players and coaches. We would get that, but it would be turned up 100x. Before the game, you knew who was where, how that relationship went, how it ended, and how it still stands. So yes, the history of one coach from an organization, and where he was and what he did there, it's a big part of motivation for every game.
CBS Local Sports: The Bills finished the season with the 29th-ranked rushing defense. How can Buffalo slow down Leonard Fournette and the Jaguars' top-ranked running game?
Nate Burleson: The Bills can't sit back and allow him to catch a full head of steam. As big as he is, we've seen him get into the secondary and separate himself from linebackers, cornerbacks and safeties. Buffalo will have to bring pressure. Put the onus on the quarterback and wide receivers to beat you. We were just talking about Blake Bortles and what he needs to do. The Bills have to force him to make those throws down the field. Force him to throw in tight windows with pressure around him. If you collapse the pocket and try to put pressure on Bortles, most likely by bringing blitzes, pressures and twists up front, you're going to collapse the pocket on the running game. I would provide one extra man in the box, and dedicate that guy to Leonard Fournette. Listen, you're not going to stop him. But you'll slow him down tremendously.
CBS Local Sports: What should the number-one priority be for the Bills offense going up against one of the best defenses in the NFL in Jacksonville?
Nate Burleson: The number-one priority would be to protect Tyrod Taylor as much as they can. Give him a chance to sit back in a clean pocket and deliver the rock. But also, reiterate to your offensive line that they're going to have to block a half a beat longer, or two seconds longer. The average play is four to six seconds. I need you to block for eight seconds. The reason I say this is because if you give Tyrod Taylor the ability to go through his progressions and none of those guys are open, he's going to do what Russell Wilson has been doing all season in Seattle, and that's take off running. Especially given the fact that LeSean McCoy is so banged up and may not play — and even if he does, who knows if he's going to be 100 percent — you have to use Tyrod Taylor as an extra running back. That skill set shouldn't be sitting behind the line for four quarters. I get when it's the regular season and you're trying to protect your quarterback by telling him to take care of his body and not leave the pocket so much. But now, this is that final stretch. We have only a month left of football.

When the phantom gobbler stuck his head beneath your sheets one night and wrapped his lips around your cock, you knew you were home. In 1955, at 19 years old, you had joined the British Merchant Navy to escape the humiliating rumours and not expecting to find what, for a deviant like you, was a kind of heaven.
You didn't know they were called "phantom gobblers" then, these guys who'd make a move only in the dark; they didn't have phantom gobblers back home in that small town near Manchester. What they did have was Alan, an easygoing, faithful friend but not the type of guy who, when you grabbed his crotch, could shrug it off or, better yet, go with the flow.
When Oscar Wilde boarded a ship 70 years previous, headed to North America for an 11-month lecture tour, he expressed disappointment: "I'm not exactly pleased with the Atlantic," he said. "It is not so majestic as I expected. The sea seems tame to me. The roaring ocean does not roar."
Clearly, Wilde went to sea in the wrong era (and had the wrong vocation). From about 1950 to 1980, many gay sailors in the British Merchant Navy had a deafeningly fun time while shipping goods and people from port to port all over the world. Some gays joined these almost all-male voyages because aboard ship was one of the few places they could be themselves, and they could visit exotic locales and buy clothing in New York City and porn in Paris. More importantly, they could fuck as much as they wanted, with sparsely attired, well-tanned men whose beauty was wonderfully enhanced by the vacation atmosphere aboard ship.
Most gay men were employed as stewards, waiters and pursers, so most gay sex happened between openly gay people with those jobs. There were gays in other jobs — certainly there were gay officers — but fraternization between people at different levels of the hierarchy was discouraged.
Some others were masculine-acting men who lived straight lives ashore, often with wives, but were willing to have gay encounters or relationships aboard ship. In Polari, the secret gay language that helped shipboard gay communities to flourish, this type of man was called a "trade omee." In some cases, these were probably men who'd married women before figuring out they preferred men and would understandably flee to sea for long periods. Others were likely straight men who, because of boredom, sexual frustration, being surrounded almost only by men and being far from home for long periods (often many months), were willing to have their neglected hard-ons taken care of by willing queens.
There were many different types of relationships. Some people, like the phantom gobblers, engaged only in secret encounters; others dated, and still others had unofficial "marriages." Modelled on stereotypical heterosexual marriage, these marriages often involved a clandestine ceremony and the exchange of rings. There was usually a masculine-acting husband (who may have been openly gay or some form of trade omee) and a male housewife, who, between shifts, would spend his time knitting, making tea or tending to the domestic needs of the other, by doing such tasks as ironing uniforms.
If a wife at home knew about her husband's shipboard male wife, she often didn't mind very much. Oddly, gay sex didn't seem to count; another man couldn't threaten the marriage, and there was no chance of him getting pregnant and creating difficulties that way. Further, even unprotected sex with another man (before the AIDS crisis) was often (probably wrongly) considered safer than with a woman met in some foreign port.
You went to sea to forget Alan, and to avoid your neighbours' judgmental stares, but you have found a thriving gay community and all the sex you could want. Being a sweet young tart, you've even broken convention and started dating the captain. He's a coarse old bear with hairy knuckles (and hairier shoulders), but his cock is a ravenous sea monster, and when you hit the next port he's taking you for dinner, then to a hotel where you'll model your new maid's outfit.
For more on this subject, read Paul Baker and Jo Stanley's Hello Sailor! The Hidden History of Gay Life at Sea.

After hitting post-recession highs, existing-home sales declined. According to the National Association of Realtors, total existing-home sales were down 1.9 percent. Yet for the past 27 months, sales have stayed above year-ago levels with sales still 10.7 percent above the pace set at the same time last year.
The Northeast saw a sales decline of 2.8 percent but managed to surpass last year's existing-home sales by 15.0 percent. The Midwest's decline of 5.3 percent was still 12.6 percent higher than September 2012. In the South, a slight drop in sales of 1.4 percent still posted above last year's sales pace by 9.9 percent. And it was all good news out of the West; not only did existing home sales in September rise by 1.6 percent, but sales were 7.8 percent higher than a year ago.
1. Higher Prices, Fewer Choices The existing-home sales decline was anticipated by NAR economists. Income growth has not kept pace with home price increases. As a result, affordability has dropped to a five-year low. That trend could continue into the coming months as mortgage interest rates rise. Adding to the affordability issue is limited inventory. September saw no relief from August's tight 5.0-month supply of homes. In comparison, in September 2012 there was a 5.4-month supply. This shortage of homes available for sale is continuing to put pressure on home prices across the country. September is the tenth month in a row that home prices have seen year-over-year increases in the double digits.
2. Fewer Distressed Homes for Sale Home prices are also on the rise because there are fewer deals to be had in the current housing market. Distressed homes accounted for only 14 percent of all sales in September; nine percent were foreclosures, while five percent were short sales. This is a significant improvement over last September's figures, when 24 percent of all homes on the market were distressed.
3. Homes Selling Faster The government shutdown will affect both buyers and sellers. The tax transcripts needed for mortgage loan approvals were delayed, which will have an impact on the transaction process and upcoming sales closings. Fortunately for home sellers, a faster sales pace will help offset any delays caused by the shutdown. Last September, the median time on the market for all homes was 70 days. This September, sellers could expect to close much sooner, with a median time of only 50 days. And 39 percent of all homes sold in September were on the market for less than a month. Faced with higher home prices, rising mortgage rates, and a short inventory selling out in a short time, buyers should consider signing their contracts now.

Is it possible to select a specific goal in darktable (2.6)?
When my camera is detected by darktable, the lens correction module only offers e-mount lenses (native sony).

Tale of a Tata Safari Storme EX. EDIT: 60,000 km update
Ok, so reposting my buying experience and initial ownership report with a more detailed review of the beast!
So without much Ado I'll first get around the review and then you can go through the buying experience. I'll keep this thread updated with experiences as the mileage adds on.
What Did I need?
We are a family of 5. 2 Adults, 2 Kids and 1 Dog (Kruger). Kruger needed a room of his own and so an SUV was the only choice. We do all our holidays driving and while Kruger doesn't always accompany us, we have a lot of baggage right from folding chairs and tables to Portable gas stoves, rucksacks, sleeping bags and the likes. I have clocked over 100,000 Kms on my honda city ZX taking it on long journeys like Chennai-Mumbai, Multiple Chennai-hyderabad trips, multiple trips to Bandipur, mudumalai and through pretty harsh terrain (for the car). So decision within the family was unanimous for once - something that has space, is comfortable for long drives, can fit kruger for short journeys and bad roads isn't a problem. Also, has to be not more than 12 L OTR (but the heart is allowed to take over the mind isnt it? )
What did I buy?
A TANK! The Safari storme EX running a 2.2 VARICOR engine churning out 150 bhp power and 320 MN Torque
Why did I buy this and not something else?
There isn't any another vehicle in the below price bracket that even comes close to the storme, at least not convincing to the heart. I checked out the following and here are my pros and cons to justify:
1. Renault Duster: Was fully sold out on picking this. But after test driving the storme I changed my mind on this.
*Compact Mini-SUV with good road presence and drivers view
*No frills: Yes that's a pro for me, I actually am not a fan of too much gadgetry so its basic interiors were something I liked
*Excellent handling : Took it on a test drive where I did a few sharp U Turns and some chicane like obstacle courses that Chennai traffic police blesses us on OMR with. It handled them beautifully, just like a car
* Always available with some discount or offer to the tune of Rs 80k-1L
*None really. For what I was looking for it was just perfect
2. XUV500. I drove this after the storme and so anything i say about it is unfair because my heart was already stolen
*Handling, Car like
*More features than any other mini-SUV in almost all variants
*Good numbers being sold by Mahindra so something must be right that I couldnt see!
*Didnt give a feel of owning an SUV, not even as much as the duster
Others I considered as a passing evaluation:
Scorpio : Closest to the storme in terms of driver's view. But I didn't like the interiors at all and felt the space too cramped even at the cockpit side and didn't even test drive it
Thar: Was actually more than keen for the jeep but then the "family car" requirement put it out of the equation. Will certainly buy a Jeep one day.
How much did I pay for it?
Nothing. My company paid for it. But they will take it from my salary every month leaving little else for me after that. Cost them 13.3 OTR Chennai. Breakup:

2. Seat covers: Rs 12 K
3. Reverse Camera + sensor : Rs 7.5 K
How is it from Outside?
AWESOME! And I'll tell you why:
1. The Bulk has been so well distributed across the front to the back that at no point, not from any angle does it look out of proportion
2. Its got 16 inch wheels (with Bridgestone rubber) that suit it perfectly. 15 inchers on the LX certainly make it look disproportionate to an extent
16 Inch Steel Wheels in EX (Alloys on VX)
3. The front section especially the grill and head lamps make it stand out and that's why my son remarked "When I saw you driving towards us, I thought it was a range rover coming"
4. ORVMs are like large TV Screens that give you a full view of whats behind you
5. The rear (not as great looking as the dicor) is something i feel you will like more the more you look at it. I love the tail lamp cluster and the Storme badging along with the Tata insignia in chrome. Adds some beauty to an otherwise flat rear!
6. The paint finish is excellent. Feels so thick on the body that I know the coat will last a lifetime
7. The doors are as solid as a tanks hood. They close with such a thud and need an effort that fits this vehicle. If you think you will close it like a sedan, you are mistaken. Build those forearams and biceps if you drive or are a regular passenger (note that I'm 55kgs light and I don't have either of those physical attributes but its still fun to close the doors)!
I'm so in love with the looks that I keep turning back as I leave it any parking and admire it all the way.
What could have been better outside?
1. Panel gaps are evident but largely they are closely knitted and dont stand out unlike some of the older pictures I have seen. But these can be improved upon
How is it from the Inside?
1. Lots and lots of space. Someone congratulated me on buying a 2BHK on wheels and I think thats exactly what it is. Was able to take 6 Adults (incl me driving) and 6 Kids on a drive with ease! Rear passengers can sit with their legs folded, stretched or crossed.
2. The Interiors are fairly basic by today's standards but like i said I am a fan of no-frills. Like the following specifically:
*USB and AUX ports concealed in a nice cavity
*Illuminated key hole
*Space to keep stuff in the doors
*Enough information in the MID cluster. Door open, seat belt warning, Tacho, Speedo and other essential readings. Simple and no nonsense
*Well integrated music system. Honestly I am not a fan of music and usually keep it shut. Love to hear the music from the engine itself. The bluetooth pairing is the only feature I used on it and it worked first time right, so no problem at all.
3. Apart from being a 2BHK on wheels, its also a refrigerator on wheels. The AC cools the cabin very well and the roof AC (if needed) makes it freeze all around. Have checked in 33 degs afternoons at chennai. But bring the summer on and I'm sure this is not a problem area for the storme.
What could have been better inside?
*Power windows operation: One touch down, but not one touch up! atleast drivers side considering so many toll plazas all around us these days
*Placement of the fuel lid opener - I havent made the mistake of opening it while lowering the windows but I surely will. Just a matter of time.
*Quality of the plastic cover on the lamps inside the cabin. Really cheap variety.
*3rd row seating : I know everyone talks about this, but honestly if thisnt a primary requirement its ok, but if you need a 7 seater, you will be disappointed. Its a 5 seater + 2 Kids or a Dog seater (upto 12 year old are considered kids)!
*Quality of plastics on the indicator stalks, viper stalks need a lot of improvement. With such a sturdy vehicle, the flimsy stalks give a feeling the will break away of you use them a little harshly.
How does it feel to drive?
1. The driver's view of the road is unparalleled. High enough to curse the bus drivers easily and wide enough for autos and bikes to give way. Moving over from a sedan as low as the honda city where my neighbors on the road were auto drivers and even cursing motorbikes meant looking up, to seeing tempo travelers, buses, mini vans and others as neighbors is a whole new world!
2. The engine is extremely torquey and you get off to a solid start with hardly any input from the pedal. I haven't stalled even once and mind you this is my first SUV. I haven't run at high speed yet considering running-in period but the way the engine purrs at 80, its as if its not even quarter exhausted.
3. No turbo lag whatsoever. Press the pedal and the beast responds!
4. 3rd gear driveability is great and keeps you well placed in mild traffic or a short clear patch. Saves you from too much up or down shifting.
5. Brilliant clutch setup. After 5 days of driving the storme I ended up finding my honda city's clutch as a hard button under the foot to press. The storme has a long deep clutch but very very soft and takes no effort in any kind of traffic. Most of my return drives from work have been in bumper to bumper traffic and caused me no stress.
6. Gear shifting is easy. First gear throw is a bit long and for short people its a slight issue. My wife felt it on a short ride but then was ok.
7. Steering is no different from my honda city and I am serious about this. I thought moving over to an SUV would mean muscling the vehicle around, but not with the storme. I have done almost all turns and lanes with the storme that I did with the Honda city barring one U turn alone.
8. Loves to open up on straight roads and hates potholes
9. Lights are very powerful and coupled with a higher driver view, makes visibility longer and brighter
10. Horn doesn't fit a kings chariot but not sure what could have been better here. Only a brass ding dong bell would have been fit!
What could have been better with the driveability?
1. Even though its all 4 disc brakes, the braking ability isnt great, you need to keep fair distance keeping the size and speed in mind else you will find yourself diving around with hard braking. Drive it like a tank and not like a car.
2. Fair amount of sideways body roll if you go over a really bumpy road. Advance warning to passengers is the best you can do in case of this even occurring
3. Safety : My only sore point about the purchase. Spending 13 L + and not getting Airbags. Why tata, why?
4. Noise handling inside the cabin. Haven't gone beyond 80 but at 80 itself I get to hear whooshes and hisses. So 100+ is going to be a noisy place. Need to experience it and comment further
5. General noises from the drive train. Have driven just 200 Kms so far but some noises have come and gone and others are still there. Noticeable click on disengaging the clutch, a scratching sound on lowering the rpm. But none sound serious and so will wait till the first servicing to them checked.
Summary of Initial Impression (Cheatsheet):
* Solid Build - This hits you first thing. My other car is a honda city and I get the feeling that entire car probably weighs as much as one door of the storme.
* Excellent view of the road - Its like the front row of a movie theatre. Just that its high enough to make innovas look like santros
* Easy to drive - Hardly any different than driving my city. Clutch is amazingly light and steering very easy to handle. Drove back in bumper to bumper traffic with absolute ease.
* Infotainment system - simple, non nonsense style. got my phone paired up in the first attempt and used most of the features without having to open the user manual
* AC - The cabin was cooled in no time after starting up. Yes it was evening but my older son was freezing and looking for ways to shut the rear vents in 15 minutes
* Looks to die for - Cant stop admiring the frontal view. been going down my apartment for no reason but to just admire it and come back up.
* Dealer experience - Never let the frustrations of the car lease policy overtake his desire to sell the vehicle to me. Never made me a useless follow-up call. I gave all the staff i interacted with gifts during delivery (thanks to the team bhp pdi checklist).
* Spare tyre mechanism - My first experience with an SUV and with the mechanism that lowers and pulls the tyre up. very cool.
* Niggles: 5 minutes into the drive I realised there is a bit of "sound" while accelerating that is out of place. Comes in low speeds (upto 40 kph) and while prodding around in traffic. NOt there in higher speeds or while revving in idle. The sound used to come in my santro from the driveshaft after 12 years and here is a similar sound from day 1. I didnt pick this sound up during the PDI and subsequent "puja drive" i did one of the days. And there is another one coing while releasing the clutch 2 times out of 10. Have read about this on other forums too but need to reconfirm if it is something out of place.
* Ergonomics : maybe its my size (not so large), but i can't find a place to rest my right elbow while driving. Used to conveniently perch it on the drivers window sill in the city but thats a mile away in the storme
*Safety: No Airbags in an OTR price 13L+ Vehicle. They should have given airbag in the EX variant
All in All, i am very happy with the purchase and the experience. Tip for any folks waiting on the periphery, go ahead and tame the beast. You will not be disappointed.
Continuing this thread with the detailed buying experience and other updates. Thanks for reading.
Buying Experience and Welcoming the Beast
All started in July 2013 when I was joining a new job and someone told me a car lease was mandatory at the new workplace. With a (then) 12 yr old santro, and 6 yr old City in the garage, I needed only the slightest excuse to start looking at a new ride. I was already bitten by the SUV/Mini-SUV bug and was bowled over by the duster.
Made multiple visits to the renault showroom, multiple test drives and by the time I joined and settled into my new job a couple of months later, reality dawned that the car lease was not mandatory after all. Out goes the half-excuse and with all the financial liabilites of a typical indian middle class IT employee looming ahead, I let the dream of owning an SUV/Mini-SUV quietly sleep. But what struck me during this time was the ride, road presence of the duster and the 'i can go anywhere on this' kind of a feeling.
Fastforward July 2015 - My second tryst with the car lease policy! A colleague at work was looking at replacing his 1yr old duster (switching jobs and terminating the car lease). It gave me an option to pick up a 1 yr old top of the line duster with just 5000 Kms at the odo for 8L! Hopes rose and then died as quickly after realising the lease cannot be transferred between employees! But remember my colleague was looking at replacing his duster and so I joined him to help find a suitable replacement. His choice was simple - not a sedan and something bigger than the duster. Without any hesitation I told him lets go checkout the storme. Here starts the umpteen journeys to the showroom (concorde motors, velachery, chennai)! For my colleague it was just one of the 2 visits since he didnt want to take chances with questionable TASS and reliability and eventually opted for a top line XUV 500. For me it was the beginning of an adventure.
Over the next 6 months, I made about 10 visits to the showroom, each time admiring the beast stationed in a prime corner of the showroom as if it was my first visit! That is the kind of emotion the storme evokes from you. The ride and road presence of the duster felt puny in front of the storme and childhood memories of being in the bridge of a ship (dad is from the Indian Navy) came rushing by. By Nov 2015 my mind was made up that it is time to take the plunge and get storme'd.
Enter the third and the most eventful episode with the dreaded car lease policy at work. I inquired about the prcing for the EX in end-nov and was told the 40 k discount that was running earlier in the month is still available. I was happy. Inquired about disposing off my 14 year old DL registered santro and they said they can pick it and offer a 20K exchange bonus. I was happier! A little negotiation later the deal was struck at 42 K cash discount + 20 K exchange bonus + floor mats and mud flaps. Next day got a quote for my rusty old santro, a grand 12 K (yes, INR!). I couldn't debate much considering re-registration in TN would cost more than the value of the car itself. I immediately locked the whole deal and shot off a mail to my car lease desk at work requesting the process to tame the beast commence. What came back instead were the historic rains in chennai and with every foot of water that rose over my santro, the dream of the storme appeared to drown or at least the sweetness of the deal seemed dampening. After 5 days of deluge, I recovered the santro.
Spent 5 k to get it running just enough so that the earlier agreed sale at 12 k goes through and it did!
Just to also make sure the guys at the car lease desk in office didn't think i was washed away, I got back to work and reminded them of the task at hand. A million approvals and proforma invoice revisions later, it was all set. It was time to book! Somewhere along, i was also bitten by the auspicious date bug. Checked the best date & time and sent the booking confirmation to the dealer to go ahead at precisely the correct time.
But doesn't look like i chose the right date or time because just as I said book, I got a sorry call from the dealer (honestly, one of the rare calls from the Dealer during this journey!), that the Urban bronze colour I have opted is not in stock and guess what, production for the year has also closed and so I cant get the colour at this year ending price. Jan 2016 prices will vary. To add insult to injury he tells me something that reminds me of henry ford - you can have any colour as long as it is pearl white! Pearl white was the only colour available. I did a fake deliberation with my heart and mind, looked at google images - clean and muddy stormes - and said I am ok with the pearl white. Such is the attraction of the storme that some mildly important things don't matter once you are set on it.
I gave my go ahead (this time didnt check for the auspicious date) and in the next couple of days, I had the alloted vehicle's VIN on my phone. A quick check based on the TBHP VIN thread confirmed it was a Nov 2015 manufactured vehicle and another box was now ticked. All that left now was for my company to process the payment and the PDI / Delivery. I went off to the forests for an end of year vacation and did enough to follow-up on the pending payment. Got a confirmation from the dealer that vehicle has arrived at the yard in chennai from pune on the 29th dec and a confirmation from my office that the payment will be released by 1st week of jan. Wow, things moved well when i didn't check for the auspicious date. I quickly finalised the seat covers that I had been shown earlier and also the reverse sensor/camera setup that I had been contemplating on. Life couldn't have felt better. Checked for auspicious dates for delivery this time and found 10th Jan to be perfect. And that is when in true bollywood style the twists started (or was it the auspicious date jinx!). Got back to work after vacation and got to know that the payment isnt yet cleared. There were still a few approvals pending (after I had already got a million of them earlier)! Pushed and prodded folks around and got those approvals also secured while keeping the dealer at bay. He was after all holding this vehicle against a zero booking amount and a couple of other customers willing to pay / finance for it. Got a date of 8th Jan from my finance department as the date they will make the payment. I went over on 9th Jan and completed my PDI. Got a helping hand from a crazy friend of mine and together we spent over an hour ticking off everything on the PDI checklist (I took the TAI PDI checklist). The Concorde sales manager and other personnel were patient enough to first move the storme over to a nice shady shed inspite of multiple cars waiting for delivery / polishing etc. They were amazed to see the 6 page bound checklist in my hand and asked me if i was actually going to check each of the items. I said Yes.
PDI done successfully but come 11th Jan there was still no payment. Some more internal issues and "fixed payment cycles" reasoning and now the date was moved over by a week to 18th. Come 18th and a pleasant suprise awaited me. While I was away in yelagiri over the long pongal weekend (15-17), the company had processed the payment. Took another agonising 7 days to get another 3 signatures for the form 20 including some drama such as waiting on the side of a main road to get the final signature! eventually come 25th Jan and I got delivery of the beast with the heart beating at about 1000bpm!
So here it is:
As Mentioned earlier I went in for bare bone accessories. Here is a note on each one:
* Seat covers (Rs 12 K) : Went for what the dealer was selling as seat covers by Tata. No Brannd but fit and finish is great. Pretty comfortable too, no complaints
* Reverse sensor and camera (Rs 7.5 K) : Very useful accessory. Display Placement was debated (center of the dash vs left corner of the dash between me and the dealer). Finally its in the left corner and pretty convenient. The sensor does go haywire if the obstacle is a short ledge like in my office parking but 90% of the time it is accurate. Display helps to see behind the vehicle. Kids in my apartment carelessly leave cycles all over the place.
* 3M CR70 Sun film all around (Rs 26 K, Gulp!) : Certainly a very effective sunfilm and keeps the beast cool. I have done comparisons with cars running other sun films in my office parking and find it to be noticeably cooler. BUT - the next day after putting these on, i was caught by the cops and fined and reality about the sunfilm rule hit me. So now in a dilema on what to do. The route where the checking happens is something I don't do often so can avoid the second time fine. Or do I just go and remove it, or remove only the windshield one. Either ways, serious money would be wasted. But the film and its application was done very well by the guys at 3 M OMR.
* 3M Underbody anti corrosion treatment (Rs 5k) : Again, a good job done and I guess this is a must have in the humid chennai weather
* 3M Mats : went for the ones that are Rs 125 per sq ft for approx 22 Sq ft front and middle sections. Moved the dealer provided mats (useless ones) to the back section. The mats are good. Add a bit of soft feel inside the cabin and trap all the dust and mud.
The dealer gave me a cheap set of mats and mud-flaps "free". Nothing much to write about them. Am all kitted up now!
500 Km Update
Been driving mostly just to work and back which is a 26 Km daily round trip on OMR. Traffic conditions are bumper to bumper for 50% of the journey and clear roads for the rest, both in the morning and evenings.
* Cant wait to go to work everyday because i get to ride the beast!
* As easy as a car to navigate through bumper to bumper traffic, no surprises so far barring one emergency braking situation which went off smoothly. No tiredness at all
* Have an almost 270 degree view of what is around me
* 3rd gear acceleration is fantastic
* not sure if its the 3 M sun film on the front windshield or the ride height but the glare from oncoming traffic is sharply reduced in the storme compared to my honda city
* AC effectiveness. Have been managing on blower speed 1 and ECO Mode so far very comfortably in the mornings (9.30 AM). Same setting in the evening (8 PM), makes the cabin colder than I like.
* The first gear at times needs a re-slotting. I've kind of mastered it now and slot it with a heavy push.
* Occasional swish-swoosh wind noises at 60-80 kph. Many times i have rechecked if any of the windows were down. Its that kind of wind noise.
Tata had messed up my number plate. Gave me a 4688 instead of 4638 (and then patched it up via pressing and some paint removal to make the 8 look like 3). Wasnt a bad job but obviously not acceptable and I had asked for new plates. Collected the replacement plates today, so now I have a backup set with me.

re: Tale of a Tata Safari Storme EX. EDIT: 60,000 km update
Congrats man, absolutely amazing writeup, the beast deserves the emotion. For me, no other animal evokes the kind of emotion thebeast does. There is something inherently magicial that can't be put on paper. Wishing you happy miles ahead man!

re: Tale of a Tata Safari Storme EX. EDIT: 60,000 km update
Congratulations seek!!!! Virtually nothing can replace the desire to own a Storme. Personally for me, Pearl White is the best color Storme or even the Safari Dicor can be had with.
Wish you lots of happy miles with the beast !!
Could you please share the pictures showing reverse camera fitment and how does the display stack up inside the cabin?
Do you plan to get any alloys ? Or any cosmetic mods ? Which seat covers have you chosen?
Sorry for too many questions but really interested to see some more pics.

Hi Seek,
Congratulations on your acquisition of the beast and nice write up.
Almost I read your write up twice, so much is my love for Safari. You got it right, even am bitten by Safari bug from more than 10 years but still have not been able to realise the dream due to various factors.
Now you made me think again . Have a niggle and trouble free ownership. Also come up with a timely update on your beast.

re: Tale of a Tata Safari Storme EX. EDIT: 60,000 km update
I initially had a plan to get alloys (matte black) but I couldn't get a good exchange deal and then realised the steel rims don't look bad at all. so sticking to these. The quotes I had from the dealer were 27K and 34 K for two variants but no models in black. But I cant't agree more with the other Team-BHPians who advised me to keep the truck stock. It really doesn't need any cosmetic mods.
I went in only for seat covers and reverse camera+sensor and a reverse horn (purchased from outside and the dealer fit it for me). I Couldn't test the sound before buying and it is something that is fit enough only for a nano! Need to live with it
Pictures attached.
Seat covers: Went for what the dealer was offering as "Original Tata accessory" so that I could get a hassle free delivery. Cost me Rs 12,000 and look fine. They are actually pitch black and the pictures aren't reflecting the true colour.
Reverse Sensors and Display. Display unit is on the left corner of the dash. Had a big debate with the dealer to decide the location and kind of agree now that it is the best place. Also wasn't sure how black sensors would look on the white bumper but love the contrasting look now. Note that painting the sensors white is ruled out since it will interfere with the sensing ability
Display Off
Display On
Free floor mats: Pretty useless (as expected). Will scout for something better aftermarket.

You might have to get used to the positioning of the display unit though. Is it relocatable ?

Dear Seek,
I am impressed!
I am most impressed by your diligence in using the full PDI list.
Keep us updated. I am interested in buying a SUV. As and when auto will be available, this will be in my short-list.

re: Tale of a Tata Safari Storme EX. EDIT: 60,000 km update
Congrats Man. Very good write up.
I bought Xuv W8 on 29/11/2015.
STORME was the choice of my heart. Loved every bit about it .
(Love it even more in Varicor 400 Avatar)
Ultimately i went with my mind (residential parking width and not yet ready to drive/manage a ladder on frame just yet)
Using an Xuv for 3000 kms now over last ~70 days let me tell you Storme is Superior to XUV on many aspects.
You are missing on enjoying that amazing sound quality set up from Harman .
In my previous car(Manza)i had spent close to 60K on Audio setup.
The Storme's factory setup sounded as good as that setup on my previous car.
So this also should be on the +ves section.
Start liking music for the sake of it. (trust me)

re: Tale of a Tata Safari Storme EX. EDIT: 60,000 km update
Congrats! Nice to see one more pearl white storme on the forum. I do have one since last 7 months. Clean it well or you will see a lot of black specs (tar & smoke/soot) on it. Last week I had to spend a couple of hours with Tar remover! End result is anyway a shiny beast, worth every penny spent on it.
Get some alloys for the beast. Mine is Ex version, but I got the OE alloys as an offer from the dealer, though not that good looking!
You are right on the rear, dicor had a different charm. Being an ex dicor owner it took some time for me to get used to stormes elegance! Storme looks way better in the rear three quarter view. Check this shot!

re: Tale of a Tata Safari Storme EX. EDIT: 60,000 km update
If i'm not wrong, this is first ownership thread on updated safari.
During my test drive SA told me that silver color has least demand. Is it true?
How the wiring of camera is routed from rear bumper to the dash? I mean wires are hidden or not?

I haven't handed the beast over to my daily car cleaner and am doing the rituals myself everyday. Does take some effort to keep it sparkling clean!
The wiring is all concealed, the only protrusion is a small 2 inch fold near the display unit where the wiring comes out from behind the dash. I'll try and put up a picture.

The first World Golf Championship of the season, the WGC-Accenture Matchplay, gets underway this week at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Arizona.
The top-64 available players in the Official World Golf Ranking are in action, including world number one Rory McIlroy and his fellow Nike athlete Tiger Woods.
McIlroy lost out 2&1 in the final to Hunter Mahan last year, and the defending champion is in good form after a top-10 finish at Riviera last week.
The 64 players are split into four brackets of 16 – Sam Snead, Bobby Jones, Gary Player and Ben Hogan – and ranked according to their world ranking.
Rory McIlroy is seeded one in the Jones bracket, and Woods, Louis Oosthuizen and Luke Donald are first in the Player, Hogan and Sneak brackets respectively.
The course, at more than 7,800 yards, is the longest of the PGA Tour roster, but as Luke Donald proved in 2011, distance isn't necessarily a pre-requisite for success.
Indeed, Donald and McIlroy are 10/1 favourites with Ladbrokes this year, but in this format, anything can happen.

Ben Hogan bracket:
The Hogan and Jones brackets are arguably the toughest, but Justin Rose looks well priced at 25/1 with Ladbrokes. Granted, this bracket also contains Oosthuizen, Sergio Garcia, Keegan Bradley and Bill Haas, but Rose is huge favourite in his first match against K.J. Choi. His impeccable tee-to-green game should wear his competitors down, and the Englishman is in fine form, finishing second in two of his last three starts.
Sam Snead bracket:
Donald is favourite in the Snead bracket, but I like the look of Nick Watney, who is 40/1 with Ladbrokes. Watney has already posted two top 13s in four starts this season, and has made it past the first two rounds every year since 2009, including a second-round defeat of Woods last season.
Gary Player Bracket:
Woods headlines the Player bracket this year, and faces the in-form Charles Howell III in round one. I think we'll see a good performance from Woods this year, but the player I've got my eye on in Martin Kaymer, who is 40/1 with Ladbrokes. The German looks almost back to his best, having recorded top tens in Abu Dhabi and Qatar in January. Kaymer was also a beaten finalist in 2011.
Bobby Jones bracket:
With a potentially rusty McIlroy and Bubba Watson missing the cut last week, Charl Schwartzel, at 20/1 with Ladbrokes, is arguably the strongest bet in the Jones bracket. The South African is the form player in world golf, with two wins, a second place and two thirds in his last five worldwide starts. He faces rookie Russell Henley in the first round and his path to the quarters isn't as tough as it might have been.
Nicolas Colsaerts is a good outside bet this week at 66/1 with Ladbrokes. He is the longest hitter on the European and PGA Tours and in a fine matchplay golfer, winning the Volvo Matchplay in 2012 and making a great Ryder Cup debut at Medinah.
