Efforts to ensure continuity of power must not create potential hazards through improper grounding techniques.
Remote pumping stations, each with their own local disconnecting means and grounding electrodes, frequently cause difficulties in applying appropriate grounding rules. Often a property owner and the utility establish a remote service point where the power will be metered, and the owner takes over from there, providing the wiring to the remote stations. In some cases there may be from four to a dozen installations stretching out up to a mile or more in total distance. In the specific case involved here, the system is 480V corner grounded. Some utilities require this type of service in cases where there are no ground detectors in place.
At the point of supply to the customer wiring system, there will be a meter and a fused disconnect (or circuit breaker). This is the service disconnect for the installation, and it also allows the utility to troubleshoot and for overload protection for the transformer. Where the utility's primary distribution includes a grounded conductor (the usual case), there may be a 4-wire drop to the customer's pole. One option some utilities use is to connect the messenger wire to a driven ground at their distribution transformer only. The owner then usually distributes power from the meter location with three separate, insulated overhead conductors.
We received a report that when motors are connected to the load side of this distribution, there are instances of fault currents passing through local electrodes with magnitudes sufficiently high enough to literally bake dry the soil at the electrode. The result is an extremely high electrode resistance, and the frames of local motors and switchgear can be operating with a dangerous touch voltage.
When this happens, some owners treat the downstream equipment as though it were connected to an ungrounded system in order to increase reliability of service on these untended remote installations. This means that although there is a grounding electrode at each equipment location, there is no connection between the grounded phase conductor and this electrode.
According to the report we received, the owner, in cooperation with the utility, decided to lift the grounded phase off the center lug of the meter socket, and insulate it. In addition, he proposed to connect the load end of the messenger wire to a driven ground at his service pole. The meter enclosure and disconnect will be grounded through a short piece of solid copper, bonded to the pole ground. The proposed solution is shown in the drawing.
The EC&M Panel's response
We strongly disagree with the proposed solution. The system is a chimera, an incongruous combination of grounded and ungrounded distribution practices that fails to offer the minimum safety requirements of either.
Lifting the grounded phase from the service grounding terminals does not make the system ungrounded. A fault in the service equipment will still return to the transformer over the pole ground wire and the quadruplex messenger. Note, however, that the pole ground may not have the required size and would not be "routed with the phase conductors" as required in Sec. 250-23(b).
The owner's grounding system
However, our real concerns arise from what the description implies about the grounding system. Grounding electrodes are part of a ground reference arrangement that stabilizes the voltage to ground and dissipates surges. In performing this function, they are never intended to carry significant amounts of current for extended periods of time. At utilization voltages, they must never be relied upon for the return of fault current.
Fault current from an insulation failure can only bake an electrode if it is denied the properly constituted conductive path back to the system source, as required for these systems. In this case, that path would be over the grounded phase conductor by way of the main bonding jumper at each structure disconnecting means. According to the description, the customers are omitting these bonding jumpers in order to treat the system as though it were ungrounded. However, the system is grounded at the transformer. And where distribution systems are grounded at any point, Sec. 250-23(b) and Sec. 250-53(b) require that the grounded circuit conductor be brought to the service disconnecting means and bonded to the enclosure and any equipment grounding conductors.
Sec. 250-24(a) requires similar bonding for the downstream pumps, because the pumping stations would be considered "structures" in the application of that rule.
In both cases (service and remote station), you must make a bond to the grounding electrode conductor, but the primary fault current path is over the grounded circuit conductor, which should be identified according to the rules in Art. 200.
If you don't make this bonding connection, in the event of an insulation failure that energizes conductive materials that are connected to earth through an electrode, and with no other return path, current will flow through the electrode in accordance with Ohm's law. If the ground rod resistance is 25 ohms, then about 19A of current will begin flowing (480/25 = 19) through the electrode. This won't trip the feeder overcurrent protective device.
Since power is equal to [I.sup.2]R, this will produce about 9kW of heat. Most electrode resistance is concentrated near the electrode, and therefore this is where the heat will be concentrated. If continued, this will indeed bake the ground to the point that the electrode is worthless (and, incidentally, in violation of Sec. 250-84 at locations with a single electrode). As the electrode resistance deteriorates, the touch voltage on local conductive surfaces will approach 480V (depending on local voltage gradients), an extreme hazard.
A true, ungrounded, alternative
If the owner truly wants the continuity advantages of an ungrounded system, then by Code he or she may have it. But the owner must wire per the Code, without using identified phase conductors and with overcurrent protective devices in all three phase conductors. And the owner must make whatever arrangements the utility requires to connect it. On installations like this, where exposed overhead conductors run for great distances, lightning arresters should be provided at each pump location. These surges are often more destructive on ungrounded systems because there is no circuit path to ground.
With a ground fault on an ungrounded system, the system simply becomes corner grounded at the point of the fault. The touch voltages on the connected enclosures do not increase significantly above ground. There is time to arrange an orderly shutdown and correct the problem. Normally, if a second fault occurs on a different phase, the resulting short circuit through the intervening equipment grounding paths simply opens one or more overcurrent protective devices. In this case, however, ground detectors take on additional practical significance.
However unlikely, if such a ground fault is not corrected at one location, and another fault occurs on a different phase at a remote location, current will attempt to flow between the electrodes connected at each. This will produce a similar result as that described for the improperly connected grounded system. Overcurrent devices may well not operate. The phase-to-phase voltage between the faulted phases will drop by varying amounts depending on electrode resistance. This may decrease the life of the motors connected to the distribution, as well as increasing shock hazards over time. The enormous amounts of energy wasted while such a fault is in progress will be metered and charged to the customer.
The NEC does not require ground detection on ungrounded systems, but a fine print note in Sec. 250-5(b) refers to its usefulness. It might be possible to rig a radio operated monitoring device that would alert a central station when a phase ground occurs. We think that the NEC applies and should be enforced on all of the wiring downstream of the service point.
These answers are given by our panel of experts. I am chairing this panel, and the other panel members include Bill Summers, James Stallcup, and Dan Leaf. The opinion expressed is that of the panel. If a panelist disagrees with the majority opinion, his explanation is printed following the answer.

I recently read yet another article in a Jewish publication stressing the importance of having your child tested for attention deficit disorder if he is having trouble at school or finds paying attention difficult. I would have yawned if I hadn't gotten so frustrated. The fact of the matter is that there is no scientific test for ADD. It's a condition diagnosed by clinical evaluation – and grossly over-diagnosed at that.
There is no question in my mind that some kids have a bona fide psychiatric disorder. If an eight-year-old boy walks into my office and has his hands in the potting soil of my plants before he even sits down, medication is in order if I can rule out problems at home and some rare medical conditions. Usually, the improvement after medication is clear to all.
But non-hyperactive ADD is different. A seventeen year old came to see me last week and confided that he was sure he had this type of ADD because he was able to focus much better after taking some Adderall. He undoubtedly was telling the truth. But that doesn't mean he had an illness that warranted treatment. I hardly think a baseball player who improved his home run production with steroids or a cyclist who peddled faster with EPO had an underlying disorder before his "treatment." I am quite sure that if I gave my staff 5mg of Ritalin each day they would focus better and get more done. That doesn't mean they have ADD.
The downside to giving medication to anyone who complains of not being able to focus – as many psychiatrists do – is that it absolves individuals of personal responsibility. If a child on Ritalin misbehaves at school, his teacher doesn't blame him but rather the medication ("the meds aren't working"). The child becomes a passive victim rather than a responsible agent.
Diagnosing children with ADD arguably helps parents much more than children. Parents no longer have to feel guilty or responsible for their child falling behind in school or not learning. By assigning a "condition" to the child, the psychiatrist essentially says, "It's not your parenting, it's the illness."
It's important to realize that we focus on something better if we are either good at it or interested. I'm sure that if I went with my wife to a quilting conference I would be easily distracted, wouldn't retain information well, and might even be fidgeting away. But if the two of us went to hear the local college basketball coach talk about his new zone defense, I would be able to repeat, and probably expound on, his talk right afterward.
The same principle applies to schoolwork. I have found a high correlation between kids who come to me for an ADD evaluation and the difficulty they experience in reading at grade level. Reading is an integral part of schoolwork, but if a kid is not good at it, he is not likely to stay focused. That doesn't mean he has ADD. He simply is uninterested.
We have to remember that some of us are better at certain things than others. I have seen a decrease in tolerance over the years from parents and teachers for the inevitable discrepancies in scholastic abilities between kids. Way too often the bottom half of a class gets referred to the local mental health practitioner for ADD testing for no reason other than they are in the bottom half.
I recall evaluating the junior-high son of a local professional who was quite flustered by his sons C's in school. When asked, though, the father told me he had gotten C's and D's at the same age. My "treatment" was to help him and his wife redefine their expectations and present a more supportive, encouraging posture for their child.
The home environment has a great deal to do with how we perform in school. Strife or tension in the home can cause anxiety in a child that will certainly affect his ability to concentrate. But who needs to be treated here – the family or the child?
When kids are young, parents should focus on making learning enjoyable and the home as conducive to learning as possible. In grade school, catching up with basic skills by playing games that involve reading or math will tend to make the process more enjoyable. In early teenage years, tutorial help in weak subjects pays big dividends later. For older kids, providing structure and clear limits are in order since the responsibility for learning is more on their shoulders.

Brian Sozzi, CEO and chief equities strategist at Belus Capital Advisors, argues that there are only six relevant points to pick out from Yellen's testimony for now.
He writes in emailed comments this morning that the six points are:
- "The recovery in the labor market is far from complete."
- "The unemployment rate is still well above levels that Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) participants estimate is consistent with maximum sustainable employment."
- "Those out of a job for more than six months continue to make up an unusually large fraction of the unemployed, and the number of people who are working part time but would prefer a full-time job remains very high."
- "We have been watching closely the recent volatility in global financial markets. Our sense is that at this stage these developments do not pose a substantial risk to the U.S. economic outlook."
- "If incoming information broadly supports the Committee's expectation of ongoing improvement in labor market conditions and inflation moving back toward its longer-run objective, the Committee will likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in further measured steps at future meetings."
- "Crossing one of these thresholds will not automatically prompt an increase in the federal funds rate, but will instead indicate only that it had become appropriate for the Committee to consider whether the broader economic outlook would justify such an increase."

- Global small caps look OK
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
U.S. small-cap stocks have slumped during the recent market pullback, but global small caps have acted well, says a blog post out today by WisdomTree's chief investment strategist, Luciano Siracusano III.
He says that's one of the reasons that he thinks global stocks will rally from their current levels. He writes:…if investors were really worried about the global economy heading into recession, we would probably have seen small-cap stocks decline more than large-cap stocks around the world over the past three weeks. That happened in the U.S.—probably because small caps, after a huge 2013, were a juicy target for profit taking. But it did not happen in Europe, Japan or the rest of the developed and emerging world. In all of those regions, broad-based small-cap indexes held up better than large-caps during the sell-off. That may be a signal that global reflation and recovery lie ahead—not deflation and recession.

Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors, says the appeal of Yellen is one of continuity.
"The fact that Yellen will continue with tapering gives investors confidence that the weather issues are transitory and problems in the emerging markets are not big enough to drag the US toward a recession.
After the selloff in the markets which began in mid-January and until early February, Treasuries and Vix were overbought and equities were oversold. Once the emerging markets fears subsided and collective economic data were generally strong, money began to flow into the stocks and markets bounced off.
We believe the near 6% drop in the S&P 500 and 8% drop in the Russell 2000 were healthy and are now over. However, we may see more such pullbacks during the year."

Here are a few facts about today's closing levels for the three main indexes.
For the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq:
- Largest 4-day point gain since December 2011
- Largest 4-day percent gain since January 2013
The Dow is now 3.51% off its record close hit Dec. 31, while the S&P 500 is just 1.55% off its record close on Jan. 15.
This is all based on preliminary data from a Dow Jones team that specializes in index factoids.

POLL: Mining destroys Hunter property values
MILLIONS of dollars have been wiped off the value of Hunter rural and residential properties adjoining mining projects, with some losing 30per cent of their value over the past five years.
Some property owners, who describe themselves as the mining boom's ''collateral damage'', are considering taking legal action to claim compensation for losses incurred to the value of their properties.
''While the government crows about being able to access the royalties for the benefit of taxpayers in NSW, it's at the cost of those rural land owners who are in that target area,'' Hunter Valley Wine Industry Association representative Ian Napier said.
''There is no just compensation for those people.''
Barrington-Gloucester-Stroud Preservation Alliance chairman Graham Healy said the fall in demand generally coincided with the announcement of a coal or coal seam gas exploration licence.
''I've been personally affected and there are many people up here who want to sell but can't unless a mining or gas company is interested.''
The Herald has spoken to several property owners, who did not want to go public, who said prospective buyers had told them they were concerned about actual or potential mining activity.
NSW Real Estate Institute chief executive Tim McKibbin said some agents had raised the adverse impact that mining was having on property prices.
''I do a tour travelling around the state talking to agents. That was an issue that was raised with me earlier this year in some of the communities that I went to.
''There's a counter argument that if you take a particular industry out of a community it can have an adverse impact as well.''
Director of the national property valuation agency Herron Todd White, Leigh Mather, said potential investors were concerned about the perceived impacts of coal seam gas.
''When you are dealing with valuation, perception is reality in many cases,'' Mr Mather said.
''Once one of those [exploration licences] hits your property, the chances of you being able to sell it for what you thought you could is very much diminished.''
Several Fullerton Cove residents who are trying to sell their homes agreed. They said interest in their properties had dried up following publicity surrounding the proposed coal seam gas project in their suburb.
The impact of coalmining on a property's value was more direct, Mr Mather said, because of noise and dust.
''I've done valuations up in the valley and they are 20 to 30per cent under what you would expect.''
Camberwell resident Wendy Bowman said her 190-hectare farm, which adjoins the South East Open Cut coalmine would be worthless on the open market.
''It should be worth $1.5million, but it wouldn't sell if I put it up for sale,'' she said.
A Land and Water Commissioner, who will facilitate greater consultation between government, community and the minerals industry, was appointed as part of the state government's Strategic Regional Land Use Policy.
The Hunter Valley Wine Industry Association has requested the commissioner conduct an audit of property prices over several decades.
The findings could be used for future compensation claims for those who have been adversely affected by mining.
Gas plans scare potential buyers
EILEEN Dillon-Smith had two prospective buyers within a week of putting her Fullerton Cove property on the market in early September.
One said she would pay cash after she was satisfied the property was in sound condition.
The woman came to inspect Ms Dillon-Smith's house some weeks later – the same weekend that local residents held a community protest against a coal seam gas project in their suburb.
Ms Dillon-Smith said the woman to spoke to the protesters as part of her visit. ''She came back and we agreed to get a couple of quotes to remove the camphor laurel tree. It looked like the whole thing to go ahead,'' she said.
''Then the following Friday I got a call from the estate agent who said she had received an email from the woman's solicitor saying the client had withdrawn because of coal seam gas.''
The other interested party also withdrew due to coal seam gas concerns. Interest in the property has dried up.
Ms Dillon-Smith said she was considering legal action to recoup the loss caused to her property's value.
Dream home plan is problem minefield
ROD and Robin Besier put their life savings into what they thought was an ideal retirement property outside of Gloucester in 2006.
Their two-hectare property was surrounded by idyllic countryside, untouched by the mining industry.
They, and 30 other homes on the Forbesdale Estate, are now under siege on all fronts.
AGL has permission to drill 110 coal seam gas exploration wells in the area, the closest being 400metres from their home.
In addition, the proposed Rocky Hill coalmine is set to commence 900metres away.
A recent valuation showed the property, which the pair spent $750,000 on, is now worth about 25per cent less in a good market.
''When we moved up here no one told us about the coal seam gas. We knew there was coalmining but it wasn't anywhere near us at the time,'' Mr Besier said. ''It all changed in 2007 when we had a knock on the door from someone from a gas company who told us what they had planned.''
Mr Besier said he was particularly disappointed with the Planning Assessment Commission.
''They only judge a project in isolation, they don't take into account the cumulative impact on the community.''

Students Recognized for PR Excellence
By Matt Hawkins
January 2, 2014
A domestic abuse awareness campaign earned the fall semester's Ebeling PR-ize for Excellent Public Relations. The award, in its 10th year, is given to the top senior capstone public relations project each semester.
The "Find Your Light Campaign," one of four capstone campaigns in the fall, paired Peoria's Center for Prevention of Abuse with local boutique Hey Lola to collect more than 500 photo pledges dedicated to stopping domestic abuse.
Students who worked on the campaign said the semester personalized the issue they addressed.
"Our passion for the issue grew as we met person after person who had been affected and realized just how prevalent domestic abuse is, whether mental, verbal, emotional, physical or sexual," said senior Kelsie Barnhart. "We knew if the issue of domestic violence, which is so often kept under wraps, was brought into the light, the community would benefit."
Barnhart, with teammates Lauren Campbell and Meghan Loy, organized pledge events at Hey Lola and Late Night BU. People who pledged were photographed with signs of encouragement for people facing abuse. Additionally, Hey Lola co-owner Jessica Benassi offered an art therapy night for CPA clients.
Find Your Light coincided with October's National Domestic Abuse Awareness Month. It became a vehicle for emotional healing following the early-November death of Peoria resident Laongdao Phangthong.
This became evident in one conversation between the Bradley team and a local woman at one of the photo shoots.
"She talked about how she has done nothing but pray since, and that this campaign was the first thing that was able to give her a glimpse of hope and begin to bring her some sense of closure," Barnhart said. "This was far beyond the reach we initially thought our campaign could ever accomplish. It was a gift to us that no other school project we have ever been involved in would have been able to give."
Though the semester ended, Find Your Light will continue thanks to other business that partnered with the program through 2014.
The capstone project competition, which began in Fall 2004, requires teams to bring together a for-profit business with a nonprofit. This allows Bradley students to make a positive impact in the community while learning professional campaign skills.
Competition founder Chuck Ebeling '66, a retired McDonald's vice president of communications, said he brainstormed the project after visiting the class.
"I was so impressed with their creativity and how they were learning and expressing ideas," he said. "This is so close to the real world of PR campaigns. Wouldn't it be nice if there was some recognition for it?"
Though ideas have changed over a decade, Ebeling continues to marvel at students' work in the Peoria area.
"What changes are the students and wonderful causes they support," he said. "I'm so impressed. One thing I love is that this shows Bradley can be supportive of the Peoria community."
Dr. Jeffrey Huberman, dean of Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts, applauded Ebeling's decade of support to his alma mater.
"This was a way to take his success in the PR world and as a Bradley graduate and make the convergence of a great professional experience and education accessible to generations of students," Huberman said.

After taking over as manager of the Cleveland Indians many have noted Terry Francona is much more relaxed than he was in his eight year run with Boston. Obviously the attention surrounding the team is on a much lesser scale in Cleveland, which may play a role in the reduction of stress, but when it comes to managing he's still the same guy.
"No, it's the same guy," said Indians reliever Rich Hill, a Milton, MA native, who also played two seasons for Francona in Boston. "It's just creating the same work environment and that's it. Coming in and knowing what is expected out of you, going out there to perform at the best of your ability and playing with that conviction is all you're asked to do."

The Indians may be the biggest surprise in all of baseball this season as they are off to a 27-20 start and going neck and neck with the Detroit Tigers for the lead in the AL Central. The culture Francona, now 54-years-old, has created since day one has been a major reason for their success.
"I think that is where this good locker room environment comes from, it starts with him in spring training," Hill said. "It's carried over into the season and we've had a lot of fun."
Leading up to Francona's return to Boston he showed some anxiety, self admitted on his part. To show his support for his manager, Indians general manager Chris Antonetti made the trip to Boston for the first two games, which meant a great deal to Francona.
"It meant more than anyone will ever know," Francona said prior to Saturday's game. "I know he's getting ready for the draft and I know he's busy and I know why he came. That meant a lot to me. I know he came for moral support because he knew I had some anxiety."
This gesture goes back to Francona being more relaxed this season, possibly not having to deal with any outside factors other than the game on the field that he may have faced in Boston.
"The level of corporation in this organization, I've never seen anything like it," he added.
Although he may have taken a year off from the game, managing in a different city, and possibly a more relaxed person, Francona is still one of the best managers in the game who knows how to get the most out of his players and most importantly, win games.

hermann & audrey: what's inspired you lately?
cory: stanley kubrick. his classical films are a huge inspiration. all of them are smooth, never handheld. my favorite film of his is barry lyndon. people might find it slow, but the way it's shot is beautiful. other films of his that have stuck with me are a clockwork orange, full metal jacket and the shining. his meticulous attention to detail and passion are transparent in his work, and i respect that.
h&a: what have you been focusing on?
cory: i've been focusing on a lot of fashion creatives lately, and in the last month, three have been published in fabric, plaid and filler. i've also been working with spot6 to create vignettes of each model.
h&a: if i say great design what is the first thing that pops into your head?
cory: peter lindbergh. he's a classic photographer, and is the root of where fashion photography began. you could say he's the building box of where everything started, and is an incredibly well established fashion photographer. he's widely known for his black and white photography, but has pretty much done everything.
h&a: can you summarize your creative style?
cory: i'm always trying to do something weird and augment reality stylistically. i've always wanted to do something different, something to make you look at an image for longer than five seconds.
h&a: what is the piece of work you are most proud of, and why?
cory: my work in filler magazine, because two different editorials were published. see it here
h&a: what would people find surprising about you?

OCZ Vector 150 240GB and 120GB Full Review - Barefoot 3 pushes 19nm flash
Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
It has been a while since OCZ introduced their Vector SSD, and it was in need of a refresh to bring its pricing more in-line with the competition, which had been equipping their products with physically smaller flash dies (therefore reducing cost). Today, OCZ launched a refresh to their Vector - now dubbed the Vector 150:
The OCZ strategy changed up a while back. They removed a lot of redundancy and confusing product lines, consolidating everything into a few simple solutions. Here's a snapsot of that strategy, showing the prior and newer iterations of three simple solutions:
The Vector 150 we look at today falls right into the middle here. I just love the 'ENTHUSIST' icon they went with:
Read on for our full review of the new OCZ Vector 150!
These specs are right in line with the previous generation Vector.
Standard OCZ packaging with included 3.5" desktop mounting bracket and a key for Acronis imaging software. You get a sticker, if you're into tht sort of thing.
Video News
That is one enthusiastic enthusiast. Is anyone else having Aperture Labratories training films flashbacks?
Flashback? Like this >
Actually no, but I do want a shirt like that so I can do the same in my office! :D
Seriously Allyn still using PCMark05 for what imho is the most important real world test, the trace test.
Record your own traces, or get a newer PCMark version, because 05 dose not cut it for years anymore.
Or do you have a special reason to still use it?
I actually run 3 different pcmark versions on each SSD, but the later ones give a whole lot of data that seems to dance around the original point of just how fast (generally) the SSD will be. In that respect, PCMark 5 does just as well to show overall differences as Vantage or 7 does.
More importantly, the trace tests used by PCMark (all versions) are only run for a few passes. You'd have to re-run the test dozens or hundreds of times for a given SSD to reach any sort of true steady state value, and that value would still not be real world, as each time you re-run the test and it re-writes the test file (sequentially), it partially defragments that portion of the SSD. For example, a *real* windows start-up would be reading files that were randomly written to the SSD, not chunks of a large sequentially-written test file.
I'm working on a 'standardized' trace to play back and benchmark, but the catch with those is that they are 100% compressible data, so drives with inline compression give artificially inflated results, which is bad news.
Sometimes the dated benches just work better than the newer versions. This applies to IOMeter as well, where different versions were more / less compressible as far as the data written, which translated to artificially high results on some models.
That Enthusiast user looks so happy. If only we could all be like that.
Good review as always Allyn, happy to see OCZ focusing on longevity. Though it is apparent that the SATA 3 pipeline is now a barrier.
How long is the endurance. 50GB a day does not mean much if it is rated for 50GB a day for 1 month.
These companies need to list the total write endurance and not pull to borderline false advertising/ trick that you will find with some products (eg the vuezone advertising 6 month battery life, but if only used for 5 minutes per day (this you only get the rated life if it is placed in a location where there will be at most 5 minutes of movement a day)
edit: it seems they list it as 50GB per day for 5 years though the warranty does not cover writing it to death.
They clearly state 50GB per day for 5 years, so they should honor the warranty at that level of writes. I do agree that's pretty steep for a consumer drive. It's doubtful a typical user will hit 10% of that.
I still cannot see how ssd's to be used for storage, 500GB and up, priced around $1.00/GB are not too expensive for most of us. It seems that is where the price has been for quite some time. I get that you made the initial msrp a negative, but you did so with a caveat. I am not suggesting that ssd pricing should be in line with hard drives, but the premium for ssd's to be used for storage seems way too much after all these years. From all the podcasts I have listened to over the years, I get that you have enough money to buy everything ten times over, but you must remember that most of us do not. I only wish demand would support me, but obviously the ssd manufactures see no reason to lower the price. Wish you would stop condoning the pricing, especially when they keep using nand with shorter lifespans to justify a less expensive drive and not make the drive less expensive.
you have to wonder what will become of OCZ
with its stock falling 40% in short time.
Saw the game level load times on Tech Report...I`ll keep my WDCB 1TB
If I`m waiting 12-13 seconds for an SSD , I can wait another 8 seconds...big deal.
If the SSD loaded INSTANTLY....that would be different.
Doesn`t say if you are using W8.1 or 7.
According to Paul Thurrott , 8 is massively faster on file copy as compared to 7. Night/day difference.
Thurrott is right - for copies done within the Explorer GUI. Our test is done via the command line, and is not subject to that speed difference.
I just want an answer to this question, please. If I get an SSD and load it with my OS and most used / fav. programs. At this point the drive is 80-90% full (because I'm cheap and bought a small ssd 64-128GB). If I use the SSD over the next five years will the remaining 10-20% of the drive be hammered with read/writes because its the only spare space, or do drives actively shift data around (even parts of the flash storing my win 7 dll files for example) so the same spare blocks don't get used over & over. Quoting a warranty if a drive is completely empty and filled with xGB everyday is one thing, in the real world I would have my SSD filled with only a small amount of space spare every day. Thanks anyone who has/knows the answer.
I am in the same boat. I am sorry I do not have an answer, but I would certainly hope the manufactures wrote algorithms in the firmware to guard against this. It also occurs to me that I don't write gigs of data to my small op sys/program ssd. Actually, when I thing about it, I doubt there are that many writes to the op sys/program drive, but rather a lot of reads. One of my intel x25 m80 ssd's that I have had for years and use it for this purpose is still close to 100% life and top health according to the intel ssd toolbox. Having said all that, I think we are probably fine.
SSDs implement wear leveling. Data that is 'stagnant' is not really so. The SSD firmware will juggle this data around as other data is written to your 10-20%. In fact, if you filled / empted that 20% 5 times in a row, you would have written approximately one pass to the *entire* area of the SSD.
Thanks Allyn for the answer.
On paper it looks pretty good. After all the reliability issues this company has had in the past with other products, I might have held off for a while to look at actual RMA numbers.
Personally, I hope they have cleaned it up and we have another good competitor in the mix. However, I've been burned enough- I'm waiting before I jump on this one.
Allyn- you do good work.

What you need:
- Three 5 x 5 Paper Mache art boards ($2.99 at craft supply stores)
- Ribbon for hanging
- Scissors
- Acrylic paints and paint brushes
- Card stock for printing your design
- Permanent spray adhesive
- Remove rope strands from the boards and discard.
- Choose a style of ribbon and cut 3 strands the exact same size.
- Apply your base coat to cover the brown paper mache. Paint everything, including the back side.
- Start painting! It helped me to sketch out my design on the computer before diving into painting. I used acrylic paints and paint brushes. All three boards were given a different pattern in the background.
- I drew the elephant in Adobe Illustrator and chose two colors for the elephants. Then I printed them out on card stock and cut them out, leaving a little white border to help them stand out against the painted backgrounds.
- I tested out the placement before adhering the paper elephants to the boards. Using permanent spray adhesive, I adhered the elephants to the boards. Tie on the ribbon to hang and your done!

Attempted to look at NASA website today and was instead confronted with an apology message from the US Government about inadequate funding to run website. Suddenly an idea hit me. Why don't we make a cover main page to put up for a while that is a spoof apology message from the US Government or Wikia about how there is inadequate funding to provide this web service? I have heard that the main page has been changed before to parody events like this so what about this idea?
Eg. Thanks to a recent US Federal Government shut down, Uncyclopedia has inadequate funding to continue to run as a website etc. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 20:10, October 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Brilliant idea! Uncyclopedia:MainPage for the 2013 US government shutdown is a mostly direct spork of the NASA page. I toyed with but rejected inserting some satire of finger-pointing, or a joke that discloses that we could have kept running but just decided not to out of spite, but that would blur the message.
- The thing to do now is temporarily make this the default page so that it comes between the reader and the real Main Page, requiring a click on the link in either language to see the real Uncyclopedia. I don't know how to do this, though, and am not about to rename the Main Page. It is disruptive when people rename pages. Spıke Ѧ 13:24 5-Oct-13
- Thanks Spike. It looks great. Do you know who would know? (I'll ask Puppy cos he seems like the guy who'd know) I think it is worth it and would create some publicity for the site. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 15:49, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Oh I see you are experimenting on your user page so I shall refain from asking Puppy now. Thanks. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 15:54, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Puppy would be the most knowledgeable about this. The business on my talk page is not known as "experimentation" but as "humping" one's own creation; that is, to get someone to look at it. I'll undo this so people can actually talk to me. Spıke Ѧ 16:06 5-Oct-13
- But it is now bedtime for Puppy and you might not get a response until the end of your day. However, to your other point, it looks from here as though there are box-springs in the foxholes and everyone is getting comfortable for a long shutdown, a unique Mexican Stand-off we are doing without benefit of Mexicans. We definitely should not insist that this little prank remain in effect until they work things out in Washington. Spıke Ѧ 16:14 5-Oct-13
- Easy option is a main page reskin. This means replacing the main page entirely. This ha been done in the past for a single day - like April Fools, or when Microsoft Knowledge Base was a feature.
- What you're talking about though is more along the lines of when we did the SOPA prank. As far as I can recall that was done by using a JavaScript and CSS combination to get the desired result. I'm not aware of the intricacies of how that was achieved, but looking at the history of the site CSS and JS you should be able to reproduce that outcome. (In other words, I don't know.) • Puppy's talk page • 06:57 05 Oct 2013
- Why am I awake at this ungodly hour? • Puppy's talk page • 06:58 05 Oct 2013
- There are two separate issues: (1) How to install the shutdown notice, without naming it Main Page, so the user sees it once on his way to the Main Page, but all the other Uncyclopedia places that direct you to the Main Page don't send you back to the shutdown notice, yawn. (2) CSS/JS changes would perfect the prank by getting the shutdown notice to display without the sidebar, buttons, and so on. It would suffice if, on Monday morning, Sannse could temporarily re-enable the Content Warning and use the shutdown notice. Again, I don't think Obama and Boehner will reconcile by then. But even if they did, there would be a separate, delicious lunacy (and would not spoil the joke) if Uncyclopedia commemorated the shutdown after it ended. D'oh!!! Spıke Ѧ 22:27 5-Oct-13
- Have you notified Sansee then or shall I? Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 22:54, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Speaking of unavailable websites, could I submit a blocked website notice, of my school filter? of uncyclopedia that is. Or something, idk. --The Sieger of Dungeons Lord Denza Aetherwing Inventory 23:45, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Have you notified Sansee then or shall I? Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 22:54, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
How about inserting an idea that Uncyclopedia was financed by the US government, so it cannot run anymore now? Anton (talk) 12:44, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Ummm...perhaps you ought to read the forum before commenting: "Why don't we make a cover main page to put up for a while that is a spoof apology message from the US Government or Wikia about how there is inadequate funding to provide this web service?" (Quote from intro to this forum). We've moved on from it just being an idea now, we are now trying to get our reskin page on the main page. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 13:02, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
- Yup, Anton, your suggestion is the entire point of this effort. The joke requires the user to have a little background information, but spelling it out more clearly would mostly spoil it. Email is now in to Sannse, cc Simsie and the Chief Justice; she sometimes reads email on the weekend but probably wouldn't act on it until Monday. Spıke Ѧ 13:27 6-Oct-13
- PS--To be clear, ScottPat, my email proposes to install it as the Content Warning for a couple days; in the large paragraph above I note the problem with putting it "on the main page"--It is a prank that should assault readers once, as the Content Warning used to, not every time they return to the main page. Spıke Ѧ 13:30 6-Oct-13
- I read the first post and thought that you just wanted to imitate the US government. So I thought that we could go further. Sorry, if I misunderstood you. Anton (talk) 15:17, October 6, 2013 (UTC)
Sannse indicates she will switch it on and asks when to switch it off. I said a couple of days, "as I'm thinking the shutdown will drag on, but a joke should not." I will be on-site for the duration of Boston @ Tampa Bay in case something needs adjustment, or just to confirm that you are seeing it, as I rarely saw the Content Warning. (I am drinking Labatt's Blue, in pre-emptive celebration for the Red Sox, but any ill-advised bans can be undone tomorrow morning, or afternoon.) Spıke Ѧ 22:58 7-Oct-13
A small screw-up
I see the Content Warning!!! Ahhhh! Not the spoof Government message but the original content warning. Please change to the spoof government message. Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 20:33, October 8, 2013 (UTC)
- This should be fixed now.... Spıke Ѧ 20:51 8-Oct-13
- I logged out and saw it (on the way out, oddly). I got one thing wrong, as of course the link to the Main Page won't work inside the Content Warning. The Accept/Reject buttons I can't do anything about if we do this within the framework of the Content Warning, but that seems okay. Spıke Ѧ 20:55 8-Oct-13
- Due to my limited access, I don't have the opportunity to see it. I seem to recall though that the only way to dismiss the content warning is via the accept/reject buttons. The text on those buttons, however, I think we can amend, somewhere in the MediaWiki space. • Puppy's talk page • 09:17 08 Oct 2013
- Found it! This. • Puppy's talk page • 09:28 08 Oct 2013
- I see it; I would want code to confine its behavior to the Content Warning itself; I don't see where in MediaWiki:Common.js I would put it, and even the lure of a follow-on joke ("It's the other party's fault" is the right answer to enter the site; "It is my party's fault" sends you elsewhere), what we've got is close enough. Spıke Ѧ 21:48 8-Oct-13
Thank you to everyone who made this idea work. Thanks to SPIKE for making the spoof page, Sansee for putting it up there and Puppy for whatever Puppy did at the end. Great work guys! Sir ScottPat (talk) VFH UnS NotM WotM WotY 21:43, October 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Whatever they say I did, I'm not guilty! • Puppy's talk page • 09:47 08 Oct 2013

Rigoli Coaching
I am an executive and life coach who specializes in helping people uncover their own self-leadership in the midst of personal and professional change. I help people to get in touch with and embody a greater inner wisdom that is unique to them and that can aid in their transition process. I am looking for a logo that will represent the brand of my company and will be unique, creative, and professional. Here is my current web site with the existing (old) company logo which is in much need of help.
Typical clients for me include people who are leading a new team or organization in a rapidly changing environment, people exploring and moving through a career or life change, and people changing old habits that feel comfortable and safe but are less effective in achieving a greater sense of peace and happiness.
To help with deeper transformation, I use an integral approach to coaching and work with an individual's whole being including their cognitive, emotional, relational, spiritual, and somatic development.
You can read more about my services and approach on my web site.
I'd like a logo that includes 2 elements:
- A unique, simple and professional design for "Rigoli Coaching"
- A unique and visually appealing icon that is integrated with the name "Rigoli Coaching". Preferably to the left of the logo but I'm open to ideas.
I have an idea for an icon but am also very interested in seeing other types of icons/symbols as well that convey the uniqueness of my business.
The one idea I have for an icon is the shape of a spiral. The spiral from a spiritual perspective represents evolution and holistic growth. The spiral symbol can represent the consciousness of nature beginning from the core or center and thus expanding outwardly. I like that it represents us needing to go on an inward journey of self-discovery first in order to manifest and bring forth our true wisdom and purpose in life. Additionally, I like that it represents the process of self-discovery being in a constant state of evolution.
-- The logo should be able to work with the existing blue colors on the site but also work with a white background too that I can use on a business card and on letterhead. Here's a blank blue background to play with: http://www.rigolicoaching.com/indexb.html
-- I'd like to be able to use the logo with and without a tagline.
-- I don't particularly like the fonts of the following logos but it's more to give you a sense for how I'm seeing the icon integrated with the words. Again I'm pretty open.

Two teams with big cats for mascot: Cougars and
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. --- Returning from its last road trip with hopes that the homecourt can key a couple of victories, the Tennessee Tech volleyball team will host a pair of Ohio Valley Conference teams from the Land of Lincoln this weekend in SIU Edwardsville and Eastern Illinois.
TTU is currently led on offense by a pair of young hitters in sophomore Natalie Penrod and freshman Ellen Conti. Penrod leads the team in kills with 170, followed closely by Conti who has 157.
Junior Kelsey Gray has continued to put up a solid wall on defense, accounting for 55 of Tech's 116 total blocks. Sophomore Allison May has beeen steady on defense as well, posting a team-leading 316 digs.
The Golden Eagles begin the weekend with a 7 p.m. contest against OVC newcomer SIU Edwardsville. The Cougars sit in ninth place in the conference standings with a 2-7 OVC record, to go along with an overall record of 7-14. This will be the first meeting between the Golden Eagles and the Cougars.
SIUE sports a balanced attack on offense as six players have at least 109 kills. Kelsey Augustine currently leads the Cougars with 180 kills, and she is followed closely by Jessica Hermann's 163. Sammi Minton has run the offense with 830 assists, Chelsea Colclasure has shored up the defensive side of the net with 393 digs.
TTU wraps up the weekend Saturday, at 2 p.m., against EIU. The Panthers sit in 10th place in the OVC standings with a 2-7 conference record, and a 4-15 overall record. EIU leads the all-time series against Tech with a 17-14 record, but recently the Golden Eagles have taken control of the series, winning four of the last six encounters.
The Panthers currently have five players with at least 109 kills including Emily Franklin, who leads the team with 194. On defense, EIU is led by Alison Berens who has posted 46 total blocks. Brittany Wallace has also chipped in on defense with a team-high 213 digs.

Lava, gas flowing out Indonesia volcano sends people fleeing
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — An eruption of one of Indonesia's most active volcanoes sent lava and searing gas clouds out the crater and made villagers...
USA By: The Bullet Wire July 1st, 2014 10:17 am
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — An international conservative group that opposes homosexuality is planning its first worldwide conference in the U.S. next year — a four-day gathering in Utah, a state that has become a focal point in the gay marriage movement.
The World Congress of Families is based in Rockford, Illinois, and has about 40 partner organizations, including Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council. The group brings together people of different religions and ethnicities to promote the "natural human family," which it believes consists of a man and woman raising children with love and discipline.
The organization had to cancel this year's international conference in Moscow due to turmoil related to Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. Its previous world conferences were in Madrid, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Mexico City, Geneva and Prague.
The World Congress of Families chose Salt Lake City for its October 2015 gathering because it has many good partner organizations in Utah, spokesman Don Feder said. The Sutherland Institute is leading the planning for the event, which is expected to draw about 3,000 people.
The group's previous events have been in Madrid, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Mexico City, Geneva and Prague.
The World Congress of Families also will hold a smaller, regional conference in Salt Lake City this fall, Feder said.
The Human Rights Campaign, which supports gay rights and gay marriage, is an outspoken critic of the organization. Ty Cobb, the Human Rights Campaign's director of global engagement, said the World Congress of Families is a network of extremist groups that has been working to promote anti-LGBT rhetoric and legislation abroad including in Russia and several African countries. Cobb called Salt Lake City a strange choice for the worldwide conference.
"Whatever the World Congress of Families may believe in their head about the values of people of Salt Lake City, they are wrong," Cobb said. "The values of the people of Salt Lake City are ones that promote inclusivity."
The World Congress of Families opposes homosexuality and abortion. It doesn't partner with religions, but Feder said there are certainly members of the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints among its devotees.
"Marriage between a man and a woman forms the sole moral context for natural sexual union," the World Congress of Families' website says. "Whether through pornography, promiscuity, incest or homosexuality, deviations from these created sexual norms cannot truly satisfy the human spirit."
The theme of the Salt Lake City event likely will be religious liberty, Feder said.
"We've always believed faith is one of the underpinnings of the natural family," he said.
Utah has become one of the focal points for the gay marriage movement since a federal judge in December struck down the state's same-sex marriage ban, which triggered a string of similar rulings by judges in other states. A federal appeals court recently upheld that ruling, and the state of Utah plans to appeal.

Staff Reviews
Violent Storm reviewReviewed October 19, 2008
Jackie Curtis says: "Playing this game was all too bizarre for me, like watching the adapted version of your favorite show or movie for a foreign audience. Only the version your watching is an adapted version of an adapted version of an adapted version its at least three levels removed from the original source material. This is Final Fight for some remote portion of Siberia, some culture that just couldnt comprehend the mean streets of Metro City ruled by crooked cop EDI E. Some culture that wanted guys named DRIGGER and MR. JULIUS and men dressed in garbage can lids."
Reader Reviews
Violent Storm reviewReviewed January 10, 2004
dogma says: "Admittedly, there are many games that I would slap under the heading of Final Fight clone. There are two reasons that FF is the achievement by which all other side-scrolling beat-em-ups are measured: its astounding quality (at least in its original, arcade form), and second, because the genre doesnt exactly allow for a whole lot of variation, and FF just happens to be the title that most people first remember when they consider the genre. Walking from left to right and smacking the snot out ..."

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet will miss at least three weeks after suffering ligament damage in his left thumb.
The Raptors made the announcement on Monday, hours after ESPN reported veteran point guard Jeremy Lin was finalising a buyout of his Atlanta Hawks contract and intends to sign with Toronto.
A team release said VanVleet, 24, was injured in the second quarter of Saturday's win against the New York Knicks.
He will wear a splint for about three weeks before being reevaluated.
Fred VanVleet injury update.— Toronto Raptors (@Raptors) February 11, 2019
https://t.co/LB9fLxhejd pic.twitter.com/imMl6v9l4z
VanVleet is averaging 10.5 points and 4.6 assists in 26.8 minutes per game this season, holding down a key role in Toronto's rotation as the team continue to manage Kyle Lowry's recurring back troubles.

6 Home Renovation Myths to Stop Believing Before You Botch Things Up
Where do home renovation myths start? Maybe in the aisles of your local hardware store or parking lot of the lumber yard. They get traded back and forth and whispered to people who may actually believe the tall tales—until they find themselves sitting under a pile of splintered wood and drywall dust.

Dennis van der Vliet necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 103 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
iPod-oplader.com, iPhone-oplader.com, iPad-shopper.nl, iPad-hoes.nl
My name is Dennis, students in the Netherlands and quite internet savy. Around a year ago I started a webshop (iPod-oplader.com) selling chargers for iPod. Right now I'm ready to expand the number of shops and start selling iPad related products as well.
My motto: Less is more
Price aware customers who makes purchases over the internet. Because we mainly sell Apple related items so our customers care about the looks of items but also about the price.
They find our company mostly through Google or the Dutch equivalent of eBay.
No clear idea about their age, gender, race or other demographics.
As mentioned we started with only one store but are now planning to expand to four stores in total. (see list above)
We have been brainstorming about the logo for a while and decided that for all four stores we will use the same design and also the logo should be similar. Our idea was to have a common (graphical) part of the logo for all four stores and then a (textual) store specific part.
So each logo has the two following elements: one graphical element and a textual element that is store specific.
For the graphical part you are free to come up with anything creative, we like site like mailchimp.com, wired.com, listapart.com, bol.com. Maybe something related to a shopping cart is a good idea to emphasize the webshop.
The textual part should show the name of the stores withouth the leading www. and the first part of the text (iPod, iPhone and iPad) should be in a different colour from the rest.
The main colour should be a bright shade of yellow for example the following: #FFCC00 as support colour and for the first part of the text I like the following colour #555555. However you are free to make any suggestion (maybe red, brown or some shade of green).
The height:width ratio should be somewhere between 1:3.5 and 1:5
Fonts I like are:
