The SSD Relapse: Understanding and Choosing the Best SSDby Anand Lal Shimpi on August 30, 2009 12:00 AM EST

All Indilinx Drives Are Built Alike
G.Skill, OCZ, Super Talent and Patriot all sent their Indilinx MLC drives in for review. If you take the drives apart you see that most are the very same on the inside, despite differences externally:
From Left to Right: OCZ Vertex Turbo, OCZ Agility, Patriot Torqx, G.Skill Falcon and Super Talent UltraDrive GX. Only the Super Talent drive uses a different PCB design.
Even the packaging doesn't appear to vary much between manufacturers; that part I don't really understand. All that seems to change is the artwork on the outside.
There are some minor differences between drives. Patriot ships its Torqx with a 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay adapter, a nice addition. The Torqx also comes with a 10 year warranty, the longest of any Indilinx based manufacturer. OCZ is next with a 3 year warranty, followed by Super Talent and G.Skill at 2 years.
Indilinx is still a very small company so it relies on its customers to help with validation, testing and even provide feedback for firmware development. As far as I can tell, every single Indilinx customer gets the same firmware revisions. Some vendors choose to rename the firmware revisions, while others do not. OCZ calls its latest stable firmware 1.30, while G.Skill, Super Talent and Patriot call it 1571.
The Indilinx Barefoot controller (right), powered by an ARM core.
Of all the Indilinxites, OCZ and Super Talent work closest with the controller manufacturer. In exchange for their help in manufacturing and validation, OCZ and Super Talent also get access to the latest firmwares earlier than the rest of the manufacturers. Ultimately all manufacturers will get access to the same firmware, it just takes longer if you're not OCZ or Super Talent.
You no longer need to use a jumper to upgrade your firmware, provided that you're already running fw revision 1275 or later. If you have a previous version you're pretty much out of luck as you need to upgrade to 1275 first before upgrading to anything else, and none of the manufacturers make it easy to do. Some don't even offer links to the necessary firmware you'd need to jump to 1275. Thankfully pretty much anything you buy today should come nearly up to date, so this mostly impacts the original customers of the drive.
Performance, as you'd expect, is the same regardless of manufacturer:
There's normal variance between drives depending on the flash/controller, that's why the OCZ Vertex is slower than the Patriot Torqx here but faster than the Super Talent UltraDrive GX. The manufacturer and size of the flash has more to do with determining performance. Samsung is used on all of these drives but the larger the drive, the better the performance. The 256GB model here will always be faster than a 128GB drive, which will always be faster than a 64GB, etc...
All of the drives here use the same firmware (1571) except for one of the Super Talent drives. That drive is using the beta 1711 firmware with TRIM support that was pulled.
When it comes to the best overall package, I'd say Patriot's Torqx is the nicest for a desktop customer. You get a 3.5" adapter bracket and a 10 year warranty (although it's difficult to predict what Patriot's replacement strategy will be in 10 years).
The Patriot Torqx bundle, complete with a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter.
Prices vary a bit between manufacturers, although most of the more expensive drives here have a $30 rebate to bring their prices in line:
|Price for 128GB
|Corsair Extreme Series
|OCZ Agility
|OCZ Vertex
|OCZ Vertex Turbo
|Patriot Torqx
OCZ does do some unique things that the other manufacturers don't such as deliver an overclocked drive (Turbo) and a drive with slower flash (Agility). There's a Mac Edition of the Vertex, unfortunately it's no different than the regular drive - it just has a different sticker on it and a higher pricetag.

sotoa - Friday, September 4, 2009 - linkAnother great article. You making me drool over these SSD's!
I can't wait till Win7 comes to my door so I can finally get an SSD for my laptop.
Hopefully prices will drop some more by then and Trim firmware will be available. Reply
lordmetroid - Thursday, September 3, 2009 - linkI use them both because they are damn good and explanatory suffixes. It is 2009, soon 2010 I think we can at least get the suffixes correct, if someone doesn't know what they mean, wikipedia has answers. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Saturday, September 5, 2009 - linkAs someone who's particular about using SI and being correct, I think it's better to stick to GB for the sake of simplicity and consistency. The tiny inaccuracy is almost always irrelevant, and as long as all storage products advertise in GB, it wouldn't make sense to speak in terms of GiB. Reply
Touche - Thursday, September 3, 2009 - linkBoth articles emphasize Intel's performance lead, but, looking at real world tests, the difference between it and Vertex is really small. Not hardly enough to justify the price difference. I feel like the articles are giving an impression that Intel is in a league of its own when in fact it's only marginally faster. Reply
smjohns - Tuesday, September 8, 2009 - linkThis is where I struggle. It is all very well quoting lots of stats about all these drives but what I really want to know is if I went for Intel over the OCZ Vertex (non-turbo) where would I really notice the difference in performance on a laptop?
Would it be slower start up / shut down?
Slower application response times?
Speed at opening large zipped files?
Copying / processing large video files?
If the difference is that slim then I guess it is down to just a personal preference.... Reply
morrie - Thursday, September 3, 2009 - linkI've made it a habit of securely deleting files by using "shred" like this: shred -fuvz, and accepting the default number of passes, 25. Looks like this security practice is now out, as the "wear" on the drive would be at least 25x faster, bringing the stated life cycles closer to having an impact on drive longevity. So what's the alternative solution for securely deleting a file? Got to "delete" and forget about security? Or "shred" with a lower number of passes, say 7 or 10, and be sure to purchase a non-Intel drive with the ten year warranty and hope that the company is still in business, and in the hard drive business, should you need warranty service in the outer years... Reply
Rasterman - Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - linkwatching too much CSI, there is an article somewhere i read by a data repair tech who works in one of the multi-million dollar data recovery labs, basically he said writing over it once is all you should do and even that is overkill 99% of the time. theoretically it is possible to even recover that _sometimes_, but the expense required is so high that unless you are committing a billion dollar fraud or are the secretary to osama bin laden no one will ever try to recover such data. chances are if you are in such circles you can afford a new drive 25x more often. and if you have such information or knowledge wouldn't be far easier and cheaper to simply beat it out of you than trying to recover a deleted drive? Reply
iamezza - Friday, September 4, 2009 - link1 pass should be sufficient for most purposes. Unless you happen to be working on some _extremely_ sensitive/important data. Reply
derkurt - Thursday, September 3, 2009 - link
So what's the alternative solution for securely deleting a file?
I may be wrong on this, but I'd assume that once TRIM is enabled, a file is securely deleted if it has been deleted on the filesystem level. However, it might depend on the firmware when exactly the drive is going to actually delete the flash blocks which are marked as deletable by TRIM. For performance reasons the drive should do that as soon as possible after a TRIM command, but also preferably at a time when there is not much "action" going on - after all, the whole point of TRIM is to change the time of block erasing flash cells to a point where the drive is idle. Reply
morrie - Thursday, September 3, 2009 - linkThat's on a Linux system btw
As to aligning drives...how about an update to the article on what needs to be done/ensured, if anything, for using the drives with a Linux OS? Reply

After earning a BA in Social Communication at ESPM, in São Paulo, and a brief period working in the marketing department of companies like Sharp and Levi's, he moved to the Netherlands in 2003 and became a photographer. In early 2007 he was awarded the Canon Prize as best photojournalist under 30 in the Netherlands. A nominee of both the World Press Photo Masterclass and PDN's 30, he attended the Eddie Adams Workshop, in 2005, and the Missouri Photo Workshop, in 2006. His work has appeared in publications such as Marie Claire, Le Figaro Magazine, L'Espresso, Folha de S.Paulo, the Guardian and many others. He is based in Amsterdam.
About the Photograph:
As Bulgaria and Romania joined the European Union in 2007, both countries will face similar challenges as they still suffer the economic consequences from their Communist past as well as corruption and high criminality rates. Most people make only the equivalent of a couple hundred dollars a month and unemployment is a big problem. The Roma minority is widely neglected everywhere and very few people believe that something significant will improve in their lives. The general idea is that Romanians and Bulgarians will be something like second class citizens in this new Europe.

Part of a continuing series — As the Texas Legislature continues to struggle with closing the state's $15-27 billion budget shortfall, we've solicited readers for their opinions on what state leaders should do to help close the budget gap.
A reader wrote in to ask us how much could be generated by sending the current exemptions in Texas' current tax code.
According to Dick Lavine at the Center for Public Policy Priorities, the money the state has left on the table when it comes to tax exemptions amounts to billions of dollars.
He said that if the high cost natural gas tax exemption, has been so fiercely debated this session, was ended the state could bring in an additional $1 billion.
He said that there are also a great many services and business activities that aren't covered by the sales tax — like lawyer fees, consulting fees and other similar services. Taxing all of those services could generate several billion dollars for the state.
Lavine pointed to a proposal brought forward by Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, which would have applied the sales tax to custom computer programming, as an example. Taxing those services would have added an additional $325 million in revenue to the state's budget.

Blue Moon Shakes at Kopp's in Milwaukee
Kopp's Custard is an institution in Milwaukee. It's regularly voted best custard in the city—no small feat in a city so obsessed with the frozen treat. The love is unending and completely deserved. With custard this good, the shakes and malts are some of the best in the city. We've mentioned the wintry eggnog milkshake, but there are many more flavors to be enjoyed.
A couple of times a year, Kopp's offers a special shake flavor, Blue Moon, in its rotating lineup of seasonal tastes. The bright, almost neon-turquoise shake is a regional favorite that most people outside of the upper Midwest have never heard of. No one really knows what the flavor is...Marshmallow? Blue Curacao? I'd say the flavor of this shake most closely resembles a cross between marzipan and Froot Loops. It's extremely sweet, but that distinct flavor will take every Wisconsinite back to childhood. I always wonder why it hasn't caught on in the rest of the country.
If you have to choose another shake, go with hot fudge. Kopp's hot fudge is bittersweet and slightly salty, a perfect foil for the sweet vanilla custard in the shake. The fudge's depth of flavor makes it far superior to plain old chocolate syrup. You can order the malted version, but the one I ordered was only weakly malty. A bit more malt powder would help.
For something more exotic, try a shake made with one of the two flavors of the day, ranging from grasshopper fudge to pancakes and maple syrup. No matter what kind of shake (or sundae, or burger!) you get at Kopp's, it's pretty hard to go wrong.

I got a drop. The other night, in ICC. It was just a little drop, a small thing, nothing to write home about by the name of …
Flesh Carving Scalpel, oh my god, holy bucket of snot!
Not that I'm excited or anything.
Regular readers of my blog, (all 7.3 of you), will know that I have had a dry run with regards to getting some daggers. So this baby dropped and there were two rogues in the raid – me, and some other rogue. Now normally this would be the cause of great angst to your truly as I can tell you right now that I do not have either achievement called needy or greedy or whatever they're called. You know, the achievements for rolling 100 on something? Yeah, I don't have those. Cause I don't roll 100. My roll is closer to the 10 side of things. If there was an achievement for you suck at rolling then I would have had that a long time ago. That could be a good achievement line:
You suck at rolling – roll 1 on a need roll.
You still suck at rolling – roll under 10 on 20 need rolls.
You suck at rolling so much you should just stop rolling. – that would be me.
Anyway, there was no horrible random rolling problem here as this was a GDKP run. And you know I love those. So we start bidding. The rogue bids 100g, and I'm just about to bid when the hunter bids 250g. Now, I know this is a joke on her part but the other rogue immediately starts screaming and calling her a huntard. I'm assuming that he didn't know that she is Gevlons girlfriend …
So I bid 500g, just to get things moving. He increases it to 600g which tells me that he is trying to keep the bid low. Awww … he's trying to keep the bid low.
1000g from me.
1100g from the rogue.
1500g from me.
There is a long pause, then the rogue says; "Come on, just stop already." Just stop already? I haven't even got started. I'll take this all the way to 10,000 if I have to. The rogue bids a measely 1600g. I top it off to 2000g. There is a looonnng wait. Is there a time limit on how long we can wait? Eventually the rogue says;
"Why are you even bidding, you won't even use it!"
Ah, I see. You're looking at my combat spec and thinking that I won't even use it. Have you ever heard of dual fucking specs and that we are doing these raids to get drops for our little PvP mission that the guild was made for in the first place you moron??
I don't say that of course. I just mention politely that I also have a mutilate spec. This rogue only joined the guild a week previously. He left his other guild on the realm because he wasn't getting to raid ICC enough. Yes, you heard it right. The ganking guild is now getting recruits from the two major raiding guilds on the realm to do ICC. They were making fun of our raiding prowess a few weeks ago. We're now 10/12 in ICC and last night we got Sindy down to, wait for it, 33,000 health before we all keeled over and died. No Alliance guild on the realm has got the Lich King down yet. It will be a source of wet dreams for us if our pvp guild can do it before the raiding guilds can. Because don't forget that we have been concentrating on pvp gear. Some of our guildies have mega-awesome PvE setups, but a lot of us don't. I have an ilvl 200 trinket, 213 wrists, 219 boots and 226 chest among my other crappy pieces. But still we're 10 from 12.
So anyway, back to the bidding. His next bid is 1600g and 5 sets of leg armor, I can't even remember what they're called. This is amusing, I thought. Can I throw in a stack of abyss crystals? How about some fish feasts? But then Gevlon comes out with the news that his bid is now worth 2400g taking into account the AH value of the leg armor. What the fuck? It's not valued at didley squat until he sells it. I thought this was gold bidding? Can I throw in my grandmother too? (I would have if it were possible).
So I bid 2500g. Gevlon just wanted to bump up the price as he loves weapon drop bidding wars. The dagger is mine. I hand over the gold and gaze at its icon with a tenderness bordering on madness. I will never disenchant you my beloved, never ever ever.
After the raid wraps I go and look up my new piece on wowhead. I love doing this as I get to read the long list of comments from people saying how much they love it and how they wish they could have one. But then … only 2 comments. And they're saying how much the itemization sucks. What the fuck do they know anyway?

On Saturday October 20th 2012 the first ever Mini Maker Faire of continental Europe will take place in Groningen, The Netherlands. This blogpost explains the why and how.
A hugely successful 'trial-run'
What better way to show off energy, passion and creativity than a Maker Faire? This is exactly what a group of young Dutchmen thought. Not hindered by a big budget or other obligations, they made it happen. In just five weeks time the team organized a 'tryout' Maker Faire in 2011. With over 14 workshops, an art-technology exposition and an exciting scrapheap challenge they were ready for it. But how many people would turn up? An unexpectedly high number of 800 excited visitors ages 6-80 from all over The Netherlands absolutely loved the event and begged for more.
A real Groningen Mini Maker Faire on Saturday October 20th 2012
Groningen Mini Maker Faire (The Netherlands) will be the first official Mini Maker Faire of continental Europe. The same team who organised last year's trial-run is preparing for an even bigger Mini Maker Faire. Far more workshops for kids and older kids, a bigger and even more exciting scrapheap challenge and more makers to meet, all guarantee that visitors will have lots to do at the Groningen Mini Maker Faire. This year we're also adding a series of Maker Talks to the programme.
The Makers, Workshops and Expo
Some highlights include rocket-building workshops, a levitating model train running on liquid nitrogen, Jaguar converted to run on electricity, a giant cardboard soundsystem, an enormous FabLab area, cute offline 'Facebook Likes'-collecting LikeJars, and soldering workshops will all be part of the Groningen Mini Maker Faire.
Do you want to show something at the Groningen Mini Maker Faire? A maker talk, a workshop or a booth? Let us know!
Festival information
The free to attend or join Groningen Mini Maker Faire on Saturday October 20th 2012, from 12:00-18:00 (or noon to six p.m. if you like your clocks in 12hr setting). Afterwards there will be a smallish party. We hope to welcome between a thousand and two thousand visitors, and invite you to be one of them! If you'd like to know more (location details, travel options etc), take a look at the English page on the Groningen Mini Maker Faire website.

TNT Adds Two More Shows To Its Lineup!
TNT has added two more shows to its roster of original series, which is becoming one of the most extensive lineups on cable.
The network announced Thursday (Jan. 8) that it's picked up the medical drama Time Heals and a show about undercover cops called The Line for 10 episodes each. Both shows will premiere later this year.
A third pilot, the Ray Romano dramedy Men of a Certain Age, didn't make the cut in this round.
The two new shows join The Closer, Leverage, Saving Grace, Raising the Bar and the soon-to-debut Trust Me on TNT, which wants to have three nights of all original programming on the air by next year.
"Our new series are consistent with our belief that audiences are drawn to relatable, complex characters showcased in exciting, emotional settings and storylines," TNT programming chief Michael Wright says. "These new series also reflect our belief that great television comes from great talent. The talent at work on these shows is among the best in the business at delivering quality entertainment."
The Line stars Dylan McDermott (The Practice, Big Shots) as the leader of an LAPD undercover unit whose officers are in so deep that the line between good and bad gets blurry. Omari Hardwick (Miracle at St. Anna), Logan Marhall-Green (Traveler, The O.C.) and Nicki Aycox (Cold Case, Over There) play the officers on McDermott's team.
Doug Jung (Big Love) wrote the pilot and is executive producing with the CSI team of Jerry Bruckheimer, pilot director Danny Cannon and Jonathan Littman.
Jada Pinkett Smith (Reign Over Me, The Women) plays the director of nursing at a Charlotte, N.C., hospital in Time Heals, which focuses on her struggles to care for patients at work and as a recently widowed mother at home. It's her first regular role on TV since A Different World in the early '90s.
Pinkett Smith is also an exec producer of the show, along with creator John Masius (Providence, St. Elsewhere) and Jamie Tarses. The cast also includes Laura Kenley, David Julian Hirsh (Naked Josh), Christina Moore (90210) and Suleka Mathew (Men in Trees).

Poly's Parker choice applauded | News
Lakeland, FL-- The Lakeland Ledger, which earlier this year ended it's policy of endorsing political candidates on its editorial page, endorsed the first hire of the Florida Polytechnic Board of Trustees Sunday:
Ava L. Parker, a Jacksonville lawyer and, until being named as Florida Polytechnic University's first chief operating officer, a member of the State University System's Board of Governors, is another strong choice at the top of the developing leadership of Florida's 12th state university.
Parker may be best known to those who followed the contentious conversion of the University of South Florida Polytechnic into the independent Florida Poly state university. She was the chair of the Board of Governors, and deftly guided heated testimony and responses so that a clear course leading to conversion could be created.
Her choice, by poly board of trustees Chairman Robert Gidel, follows his common-sense-but-informed approach of pushing ahead with the university's development but never going so fast that the next turn in the road is not clear.
The board smartly ceded to Gidel the task of hiring a chief operating officer - an interim position for two years, which should coincide with a 2014 opening of the Northeast Lakeland university. He announced the hiring of Parker during a board meeting Nov. 19, reported The Ledger's Mary Toothman in an article the next day.
Parker stepped into the meeting and got right to work, fielding questions from board members.
After the meeting, Parker said she is ready for the work ahead: "I know that this is a huge undertaking," she said. "But it is also very exciting. I think it's a wonderful opportunity to work with a new university."
The board outlined a good portion of Parker's role:
- Help define the university's mission and vision.
- Oversee the continuing campus construction.
- Hire top staff.
- Keep the effort to achieve academic accreditation on pace.
"As we started to think about the interim leader of the polytechnic," Gidel said, "it became clear that we needed someone not only with a background in higher education, but with real-world savvy to help us communicate our vision"
The appointment of Parker, 49, took effect Saturday, the first day of the month.
The specifics of her compensation are still being worked out, but it is expected to exceed $200,000 per year, as for her USF Poly predecessors.
The task that Parker will likely have to track mostly closely is accreditation. Indeed, it will be a priority for all of the poly's leadership - trustees and administrators.
University leaders met with officials of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which is the accrediting organization, on Nov. 21, Toothman reported in an article Nov. 22.
The process should take between three years and six years, said Ann Chard, vice president of the Southern Association.
Students will be eligible to apply for financial aid after the university applies to be a candidate for accreditation, said Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association, and federal action is taken, for which no period is specified.
"I hate to tell you this, but it depends on how fast the Department of Education moves on that," Wheelan said. "It will not be retroactive, I can tell you that."
In any case, the poly must first begin operation with students enrolled, secure an audit and submit an application.
"We are going to do this right," said Gidel. "There are those who would like to do things fast in lieu of things that are the right thing to do to make it sustainable. We are not going to try to do it so fast that you end up making all kinds of short-term mistakes."
With his choice of Parker, Gidel ensured the presence of an administrative analogue.
In the pair of charged 2011 Board of Governors meetings she chaired - in which Goodman spoke against the interest of USF, with Judy Genshaft, his boss, and president both of the university in Tampa and the regional system to which USF Poly belonged, and in which state Sen. J.D. Alexander, R-Lake Wales, spoke forcefully and repeatedly for divorce of the poly from USF, Parker made sure that all were heard, order was kept and action was taken.
Parker has been tried under fire.

Lavera's 2012 cosmetic line is talc-free—using rice powder as a more natural alternative. Talc used in Lavera-legacy cosmetics (discount, clearance sections) is asbestos free.
More about talc:
Talc is a naturally occurring substance that is used in cosmetic and baby powders as a filler material because of its consistency. It is an inert mineral with no inherent toxicity. Pure talc does not cause any skin reactions or irritations.
Concern over talc safety originated due to its association with asbestos which can occur in some talc deposits. Low grade talc used in the past by some companies were contaminated by asbestos, which is a known carcinogen.
Since 1972, government mandated testing and certification has ensured that ALL COSMETIC GRADE TALC is asbestos free. The FDA has approved cosmetic grade talc as safe. All talc used in Lavera products are pharmaceutical grade, which is used in prescription tablets as filler, and is considered the purest form of talc.

A lack of clearly defined police procedures may have led to the pepper-spraying of several student protestors at UC Davis which sparked outrage across the nation, according to a California State Senator.
"I think what we learned is that there were very vague polices," State Senator Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach)
The incident, which was captured on video and posted to YouTube, sparked national outrage for the police's use of force in the pepper spraying of peaceful protesters during a campus demonstration over higher tuition costs on November 18.
U.S. & World
UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi set up an internal investigation of the incident. Two campus officers seen in the video using the pepper spray were suspended and the campus police chief was placed on paid administrative leave.
Lowenthal said it's a difficult balancing act trying to protect free speech and the right to assembly while at the same time protecting the safety of officers and the university.
"You have to balance police safety issues with the ability of students. I think what happened at UC Davis was policies and procedures ---and throughout the UC system—were not clear in terms of what the role of the police was. When they should be accountable, is there is system wide, clearly defined procedure—and there aren't."
Katehi said last Wednesday that she never ordered campus police to use force or pepper spray on students last month, as lawmakers began a broader inquiry over of how colleges have responded to non-violent Occupy protests.
Katehi said that she played no direct role in officers pepper-spraying students. She accepted responsibility for what happened but said she would feel uncomfortable providing tactical orders to police.
As to whether the police chief should be fired over the incident, Lowenthal said the facts will determine the next steps.
"I think that once we get the results of the investigation, if that's what it indicates, then it should be. We're not the investigatory body," Lowenthal said. "Let's hear from the expects in terms of what really happened."
This year, University of California tuition for in-state undergrads and graduate students rose $1,890 to $12,192 a year, which doesn't include room, board and roughly $1,000 in campus fees. That's 18 percent more than they paid last year and more than three times what they paid a decade ago.
Tuition at California State University has risen more than 22 percent to $5,472, not including room, board or campus fees. In November, the CSU Board of Trustees voted to raise tuition by another 9 percent, or $498, to $5,970 for next year.

Phil Bonus resigns from Maitland City Council
Maitland politician admits to visiting brothel
Three days after Vice Mayor Phil Bonus was stripped of his vice mayor status, he has officially resigned his position with the Maitland City Council.
Bev Reponen, a City Council member who was named vice mayor Monday night, said the city manager notified council members of his resignation Thursday.
"After prayerful consideration of the circumstances, I hereby tender my resignation as a councilman for the City of Maitland, effective immediately," the resignation letter read. "I apologize to the public for my inappropriate conduct, and regret the actions I have taken in my private life now necessitate the end of my public service. It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Maitland."
Bonus spoke with WESH 2 last week and admitted he visited an Orlando brothel three years ago. His name appeared on a client list made public after the arrest of Mark Risner, who is accused of being the brothel's pimp.
Bonus said his family knows what happened, that they've been to therapy and are moving on. He doesn't face any criminal charges in the case.
On Monday, WESH 2 News learned Bonus was arrested in December in Tampa on suspicion of drunken driving. A video shows Bonus having a difficult time performing field sobriety tests.

亚冠竞猜a website review is designed to be positive feedback or overall constructive criticism that will help others in the website experience. the website review is not a forum for complaints or negativity. if you do need to post a negative comment, we ask that you also list a positive experience for the website.
the ping utility uses the icmp protocol's mandatory echo_request datagram to elicit an icmp echo_response from a host or gateway. echo_request datagrams (pings) have an ip and icmp header, followed by a "struct timeval" and then an arbitrary number of "pad" bytes used to fill out the packet.
the internet is a large and complex aggregation of network hardware, connected together by gate-ways. tracking the route one's packets follow (or finding the miscreant gateway that's discarding your packets) can be difficult.
亚冠竞猜dig (domain information groper) is a flexible tool for interrogating dns name servers. it performs dns lookups and displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that were queried. most dns administrators use dig to troubleshoot dns problems because of its flexibility, ease of use and clarity of output. other lookup tools tend to have less functionality than dig.
nslookup is a program to query internet domain name servers. nslookup has two modes: interactive and non-interactive. interactive mode allows the user to query name servers for information about various hosts and domains or to print a list of hosts in a domain.
host is a simple utility for performing dns lookups. it is normally used to convert names to ip addresses and vice versa. when no arguments or options are given, host prints a short summary of its command line arguments and options.
hostmx is a simple utility for performing dns lookups for mx records.
nmap ("network mapper") is an open source tool for network exploration and security auditing. it was designed to rapidly scan large networks, although it works fine against single hosts.

The Obama presidential campaign is launching an effort to collect Republican email addresses by inviting its supporters to submit information about their Republican associates to the Obama 2012 website.
The effort in question is found on the Obama campaign donation page, and suggests a little bit of mean-spirited but ultimately innocent fun:
Of course, it goes deeper than that. It could be that the Obama campagn wants your email address so that they can gently persuade you via informative and compelling emails to vote for Obama next November.
Or it's possible that if your name gets into this database, you'll be spammed incessantly for the next 12 months whether you like it or now.
But being the "legitimate businessmen" of Chicago that they are, my guess is that every name entered will end up on some kind of "enemies' list. Obama's cronies may not be up to advising him on how to destroy a downed drone, but they know how to handle their perceived "enemies".
But however it was meant, and whatever those gathered email addresses are used for, one thing is certain: President O-Spama-a is certainly living down to all our expectations of him.

According to insurer State Farm, July 4 is the worst holiday to get behind the wheel of a car. However, the Fourth of July's record is less than the daily average for collisions.
Says State Farm:
An average of 6,031 collision claims has been made by State Farm policyholders on July 4th over the past five years (2005 to 2009). New Years Day is a distant second with 5,403 State Farm collision claims per day. Memorial Day is a close third with 5,321, followed by Easter (5,261), Labor Day (5,211), Thanksgiving (4,271) and Christmas (4,092).
However, all seven major holidays produce fewer crashes than do most other days of the year. The average number of collision claims made per day by State Farm's auto policyholders over the last five years is 7,435.
"We tend to associate holidays with driving and driving with crashes," says State Farm Vice President-Strategic Resources Laurette Stiles. "But the fact is we are even more susceptible to collisions on a regular old day when we are driving to and from work and making all of the other little trips we routinely make."
So if you're going to slug some of your patented Blue Milk daiquiris, call a cab, alright?

By Prem Thomas, KF9, Philippines
I thought my coworkers at the Center for Community Transformation (CCT) were just recycling balloons from the last birthday party to save money, but a coworker told me that "It's Jesus's birthday."
As I prepare to celebrate my first Christmas away from family, the Christmas spirit has become overwhelming with carols being played since I arrived in Manila in early October. People say the Philippines starts celebrating in months that end in "ber," so Christmas is really a four-month event here.
There was quite a bit of build-up leading up to the CCT's Christmas Fellowship (party) here at the head office. It all started 12 days before the Party when we selected a name for Monito/Monita, a Filipino version of Secret Santa. Every day we have to find a gift that is less than 20 pesos (about 43 cents) for our Monito/Monita that fits the days theme: something sweet and sour, something that lights up, something that melts, etc. On the last day at our Christmas party we reveal the identity of our Monito/Monita and give them a 200 peso (about $4.30) gift.
The Christmas party, which was funded by individual staff contributions of 100 pesos, started as most CCT events do, with a welcome song, prayer and reflections lead by some of the senior Pastors. The event continued with an impromptu caroling contest pitting staff from different regions of the Philippines against each other:'
We also played many games; my favorite was tandem musical chairs. I had definitely never seen this before!'
The night ended with food (spaghetti, fried chicken and sandwiches) that was made by former street dwellers from CCT's Kaibigan Center, raffles for prizes like gift certificates at Jollibee, the local McDonald's, and Monito/Monita revelations.
Prem Thomas is serving as a Kiva Fellow working with the new field partner Center for Community Transformation Credit Cooperative (CCT) in Manila, Philippines.

BASF trend study: greens gaining ground
Thursday, 15 August 2013
After more than one low-color decade in which black, silver, white and, more recently, brown made their mark on the roads, the automotive landscape is now becoming more colorful.
Progress and purposefulness are characterizing the automotive world's color mood. The colors in this year's BASF trend collection entitled "Making Headway" are predicting this positive outlook ahead. "With new technologies, new models and new mobility concepts, a shift in values is on the horizon. In this context, green as the color of growth and a new beginning is playing a key role," explained Mark Gutjahr, Head of Design Europe at BASF.
BASF designers already identified this color trend in its early stages last year, and it is now gaining ground. After more than one low-color decade in which black, silver, white and, more recently, brown made their mark on the roads, the automotive landscape is now becoming more colorful.
Green leaving its eco-image behind
The fact that the green color range is securing its position in the automotive future does not stem from its logical connection to ecology and the image of pristine nature. The new greens that will be applied to cars in the coming three or four years are making a point of leaving their eco-image behind. "We are not finding answers to questions about society's value shift in a romanticizing 'back to nature' vision, but instead in intelligent solutions and technologies," so Gutjahr. In this context, green stands for new values such as straightforwardness, responsibility and individuality, as well as for harmony and balance, which are becoming increasingly important factors in society.
Global trend with regional colors
The global context is lending ever more importance to questions of individuality. Green is setting the trend for bold automotive colors and is reinforcing a move toward more color-based differentiation. On the other hand, in its research, BASF's global design team has identified clear regional differences. Even if the green theme is globally relevant, its manifestations in Asia Pacific, North America and Europe are highly varied. The design language in Europe is characterized by soberness and quality, which translates into colors in the portfolio which are balanced and detailed yet bold. Dark green and emeralds exhibit highly intricate structures and moderately used effects. Rich greens are refined by golden highlights. While Europe is experiencing the quest for new values, in Asia, topics such as nature, relaxation and harmony have a strong impact on this color range. In Asia, subtle but multifaceted automotive colors are anticipated. For instance, vibrant pastels serve to offset the gray of the big cities. The wide range of the trend color is clearly demonstrated by the color portfolio in North America. Clarity and directness characterize the colors used there. In addition, the green-yellow color range is playing an increasingly important role with colors such as 'lemon'.

Jimmy Walls necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 11 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
http://www.abcsbook.com - curent website (horrible looking :>()
Client is an online retailer, mainly of Spanish language texts but also offers different merchandise to Schools, teachers and public shoppers. They are looking for a site that is youth oriented HOWEVER not only focusing on kids because they also have high school and university clients that will be turned off by too much kid design. Please reference their current site at http://www.abcsbook.com.
Their current design turned out horribly wrong and want to start from scratch. The bread and butter of what they do is textbook sales to schools. The home page design is really the most important of all the design pages -- needs to be visually attractive and appeal to teachers who teach all age groups. Important that the interior pages reference the specific product that person is looking for. The far left side bar needs to remain on all pages.
The layout provided is based on the one template I saw and "sort of liked" however as long as all the element are there, please feel free to create something new / different.
The people who call or e-mail them are usually individual teachers and NOT students or parents. 75% of their business comes from within the USA however also get orders from Canada, Europe, Caribbean and Latin America.
How do teachers think? This is how the design needs to be developed.
The site wil be built in Joomla with e-commerce functionality ie. shopping cart. The home page is where your design skills need to shine.
Very important that you provide interior page designs so that the developers can visualize every other page within the site.
I need to see one home page design and two interior page options (this is very simple hence need two to choose from). The far left navigation needs to remain on every page however the images and buttons for the interior pages are completely upto you -- ie. creative freedom.
The sample form on the ppt. frame should look something like this however go by the current site for details of what is required. In other words, people fill this from out to get the online catalog AND follow up customer service. There is no ebook or report sent to anyone. Also, the fields needed are:
first name, e-mail address, phone number, zip code if applicable, country and comments.

Family: Slain Officer 'Liked to Protect People'
SARTELL (AP) - What 8-year-old Kelly Decker remembers about her dad - more than playing Nintendo Wii together, more than the treehouse he was building for Kelly and his other three children - was how he loved to look out for people.
Kelly's dad is Cold Spring-Richmond Police Officer Tom Decker, 31, who was killed late Thursday in what police say was an ambush near Winner's Bar in Cold Spring.
Tom Decker left behind lots of grieving family members, including four children: Kelly, Jade Decker, 7, Justin Decker, 6, and Devon Decker, 5. Their mother and caretaker is Becky Decker of Sartell, Tom Decker's former wife, the St. Cloud Times reported (http://on.sctimes.com/VgixT8).
Becky Decker speaks well of Tom, calling him a good father and widely respected community member.
The fact that police say Tom died while checking on someone's welfare - the suspect in the shooting, Ryan Larson, who remains in Stearns County Jail on suspicion of second-degree murder - doesn't surprise his family.
"He just liked to protect people," Kelly said. "All I can say is I want him back."
All of them are coping with Tom's death and remembering him in their own ways.
Justin, who Becky says takes after his father and wanted to be a cop just like him, didn't show his grief during an interview Saturday.
Jade is struggling to imagine Christmas without her father. Mounds of presents surround the family's Christmas tree, but Jade told Becky the only present she wants is to have her daddy back.
Becky's nightmare started not long after midnight Friday, when she answered the door and found Cold Spring-Richmond Police Chief Phil Jones on her doorstep, eyes trained on her doormat.
Jones' appearance and demeanor told the story before he even spoke, she said.
Tom often warned of his profession's perils. But in those predawn hours, "it was just the hardest thing to comprehend," Becky said.
Becky affirmed his colleagues' remembrances that Tom loved working as a cop in his hometown of Cold Spring. She also seconded memories about Tom's omnipresent sense of humor, calling him a goofball who liked to watch "SpongeBob Squarepants."
Now Becky, who says she relied heavily on Tom's support - emotional and financial - to care for their children, is left to ponder how she'll manage the future.
Becky says her friends and family have overwhelmed her with love and support in the last two days. They've brought food, helped watch the kids and offered hugs and shoulders to cry on.
Becky hopes she can continue to count on them in the months ahead.
"We need people's support," Becky said. "There's going to be ups and downs, but we're going to get through it."
Sometimes getting through it is tougher than others.
At one point Saturday, Kelly was overcome thinking about her dad. Tears trickled down her cheek and onto her T-shirt, which bore a smiley-face and slogan, "Be Happy."
It's been that kind of emotional roller coaster in the last two days for Kelly and her family. They're happy to remember the good times with Tom, sad to think of their loss, and uncertain when they wonder what's next.
Kelly gave Becky a big hug, hopped onto her lap and let the tears flow. The two comforted each other, remembering Tom Decker the officer, the dad, the husband - and most of all, the caretaker.
"He's going to watch over you," Becky told Kelly. "He's going to make sure you are taken care of."

In My Dreams is a song cycle for mezzo-soprano, narrator, and piano, based on the poetry of survivors of childhood sex trafficking. It was created to raise awareness of trafficking through music and poetry through the expression of individual dreams and voices. In My Dreams recounts the devastating loss of childhood and celebrates empowering words of survival. The poetry was collected in poetry workshops held in Calcutta and Delhi India in January 2009. After the poems were selected, translated, and edited, composer Dr. Gerard Yun set them to music. This document outlines the process of creating and performing this unique …

In Case Anyone Thought I Was Kidding...
July 06, 2005
Steve says, "Crikey! That's a whole lotta Rubbermaid, mate!"
So I think we have enough airtight containers. Now we just need some food.
(Please note the sad little cloves of garlic, the sole survivors of the Great Kitchen Purge of 2005. They wonder, "Why were we spared? What strange plastic prison is this? What happened to our dear friend French Baguette, upon whom we were to be roasted and oiled and turned into delicious, delicious garlic bread?" And then they weep, but no one can hear, for the seal, it is airtight.)
Last night's BugWatch Patrol uncovered five of the little bastards: three dead, two alive. They were promptly vacuumed.
Behold! The nesting instinct in action!
Also, pregnancy arms! Squashy!

Extras force Cubs to consider pitching options
PITTSBURGH -- Carlos Villanueva is still scheduled to start Sunday for the Cubs, but manager Rick Renteria said Thursday that he and pitching coach Chris Bosio will discuss their options on Friday when they return to Chicago.
Villanueva won a spot in the rotation this spring, but pitched in relief in the first two games Monday and Wednesday, which both went extra innings. The right-hander threw eight pitches on Monday, and another 22 in 1 1/3 innings on Wednesday.
Renteria said he would meet with the Cubs' front office on Friday prior to the team's first home game. Villanueva would've thrown a side session on Thursday, but did not because of his innings in games. Jose Veras and Wesley Wright, who both pitched in Wednesday's 16-inning game, were not available on Thursday against the Pirates, Renteria said.
"Everybody else is OK for a little bit of work," Renteria said.
The Cubs have played 26 innings in their first two games, the first time they've opened the season with back-to-back extra inning contests since 1964.
"We're moving in the right direction with our mentality and attitude, quite frankly," Renteria said. "We want to win every game and that's not changed. We're going to keep going after it. Sooner or later, they'll start to fall."
Losing extra-inning games can be difficult for a team to overcome.
"It's deflating if you want it to be," Renteria said. "I'm not going to come in here and have these guys laying down and being sad. I'm going to play my music, and I'll come in here every single day ready to go. You say I have a lot of energy, well, that's what I want those guys to have, too."
His music tastes? Everything from rock to pop to salsa to jazz.
"Whatever it takes," Renteria said.

Goodwill opened a new retail center in Hampton on Wednesday, welcoming hundreds of shoppers during its opening day activities.
The retail center houses a traditional retail store, an outlet and a computer store under one roof.
The building, located on Saville Row in Hampton, was a Target location.
During a quick walk-through of the store on Wednesday morning, we found several deals worth noting, including a children's storage bin organizer for $15 and a pair of mirrored wall cabinets for $5 each.
The retail section of the store is set up much like other Goodwill stores in the area with a heavy emphasis on clothing items. The outlet center sells items, including clothing, home goods and toys, by the pound. To get the deals, shoppers must dig through large bins.
The computer store features dozens of desktop monitors, laptops, cell phones and accessories and other electronics at discount prices. On Wednesday morning, an HP monitor in like-new condition was priced at $40.
The 117,000-square-foot store is located at 1911 Saville Row, Hampton.
