OCZ Agility 4 256GB Review
History has shown that the solid state drive has had a profound impact on the end user. Drastically reduced access times and much faster read/write throughput have been benefits to users willing to make that jump from a traditional spindle drive to a NAND-based solution. OCZ has led the way through several iterations of it popular Vertex and Agility lineup, with the former the high end offering and the Agility targeted at the mainstream. Version four for each drive maintains this status quo with the Agility 4 targeted for use by the mainstream user. As such OCZ has targeted both of the impediments to SSD adoption in both capacity and cost. Priced at $189, the Agility 4 256GB delivers capacity and a price per GB of less than 75 cents. Not bad at all when you look at just strictly the price point. Having already looked at several drives based on OCZ's own Indilinx Everest 2 controller, including the OCZ Vertex 4 and OCZ Octane, it has been shown that OCZ's acquisition of Indilinx has paid dividends.
The feature set of the Everest 2 platform include a SATA 6Gb/s interface, advanced ECC engine, superior NAND flexibility for use with 2Xnm Asynchronous Multi-Level Cell NAND from different suppliers, a three-year warranty, NDurance 2.0 technology featuring Reduced Write Amplification without Compression, Advanced Multi-Level ECC, Adaptive NAND Flash Management, TRIM support, Static and Dynamic wear leveling, and Redundant NAND Array™ (RNA) Technology. The Agility 4 comes in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities, with pricing ranging from $85 to $379 depending on the capacity. Performance wise the OCZ Agility 4 is rated to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 420MB/s with sequential writes of up to 410MB/s and random 4K read/writes of 48,000/85,000 IOPS on the 256GB drive I will be looking at today. If the Agility 4 delivers on these marks it should prove to offer another drive in OCZ's product stack that hits the mark on price and performance. Let's see what it has to offer.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Agility 4 is purely no frills mainstream. Packed in a plastic clamshell enclosure, the Agility 4 can be viewed easily on store shelves. OCZ has put the capacity in the lower left corner of the product sheet with the 'Indilinx Infused' logo at the top right. The back side of the package illustrates additional features of the drive including the use of MLC flash memory, Indilinx Ndurance technology, TRIM support, and that the Agility 4 uses the SATA 6Gbps interface. Aside from the features OCZ has a short introduction to the Agility 4 drive and why it is better than spindle-based drive. Inside the clamshell is a product installation guide with warranty information and a sticker that can proclaim your use of an OCZ SSD.
OCZ's Agility 4 drive is built within the confines of the industry standard 2.5" form factor allowing for usage scenarios including notebook and desktop applications. Instead of using a casing made from aluminum and steel or just steel, the two piece design is made from plastic to house the PCB and a steel shell to provide stability and use as a thermal conductor to carry away the heat from the Everest 2 controller. Much like the Vertex 4, the Agility 4 is built around the OCZ/Indilinx Everest 2 controller and is available in 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Drive mounting locations are standard for the 2.5" form factor. The casing is held together with four screws instead of clips. OCZ installs a tamper seal on just one of the screws to validate the warranty and provide proof of tampering. OCZ's Agility 4 uses a SATA III or 6Gb/s interface and is backwards compatible for usage in earlier systems, however the drive performance will be reduced to the limits imposed by earlier interfaces. Once inside the drive housing, the OCZ-built PCB is a snug fit. A large, thick thermal pad is used to allow the heat generated by the Everest 2 controller to flow to the steel half of the drive housing.
Built around the Everest 2 platform controller, OCZ's Agility 4 is equipped with an Indilinx IDX400M00-BC 8 channel NAND controller. Much like the Vertex 4, the Agility 4 uses 16GB 25nm OCZ-branded Micron Synchronous Multi-Level Cell NAND modules to make up the 256GB capacity on this drive. Wrapped around the controller in a circular pattern on the OCZ-branded PCB are eight NAND modules per each side of the PCB. Located between the Indilinx IDX400M00-BC controller and the 6Gbps interface is a Hynix 512MB DDR3 module; another populates the opposite side of the PCB for a total of a 1GB worth of DRAM cache. Equipped with the latest firmware, the Agility 4 is rated to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 420MB/s and sequential writes of up to 410MB/s, along with up to 85,000 Random 4K Write IOPS.
Packed full of all the tools put into the Octane and Vertex 4, the Indilinx Infused Agility 4 should offer a good mix of performance to go along with the low cost per GB.

U.S. House Republicans won't wait for President Barack Obama to issue a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. They plan to vote by the end of May on legislation that would sidestep the White House and offer congressional approval to the TransCanada Corp. project.
House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton said today that the bill would be on the House floor by Memorial Day.
The measure sponsored by Nebraska Republican Lee Terry is being designated H.R. 3, using one of the numbers held in reserve by Republican leadership for their top-priority bills.
"There is no reason for us to not only refine that oil, but also to keep most of it in the U.S.," Upton, a Michigan Republican, told a press conference.
The project would cross six states and link the tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to Texas refineries along the Gulf Coast. It requires a presidential permit because it crosses an international border.
In January 2012 the Obama administration rejected a proposed route for the pipeline after concerns were raised about the impact of the project on an ecologically sensitive area in Nebraska. The route now under consideration was submitted in May 2012.
'Political Statement'
Earlier this month, a State Department environmental assessment of found Keystone XL won't worsen the risks of global warming because Alberta's oil sands would be developed without the pipeline. The White House signaled today that it doesn't consider oil pipelines a major driver of climate change.
"There have been thousands of miles of pipelines that have been built while President Obama has been in office," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters today on Air Force One as Obama traveled to deliver a speech on energy in Illinois. "It hasn't necessarily had a significant impact one way or the other on addressing climate change."
Obama is focusing efforts on lessening dependence on fossil fuels, he said. He said the higher fuel standards for vehicles set by the administration "has greatly increased fuel efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.'
Representative Henry Waxman of California, the top Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee, said the bill won't change that and a decision on the pipeline would ultimately be made by Obama. The president will decide to either approve or reject the pipeline, said Waxman, who opposes the project, and could veto any legislation that would force his hand.
''They're making a political statement," Waxman said in an interview.

Dear Friends,
Having celebrated my 66th birthday this year, I knew it was time for me to find the right people to take over Eble Music in preparation for my retirement.

- The Krewe of Rex parade will start at the intersection of Napoleon Avenue and S. Claiborne Ave. (Highway 90) in New Orleans.
- The parade will proceed south until St. Charles Avenue, where the krewe will turn east.
- The Krewe of Rex will follow St. Charles all the way to Lee Circle, around the circle and back on St. Charles northward to Canal Street.
- At Canal, the parade will turn southeast follow the road to the intersection of Canal and South Peters Street where the parade will end.
The Rex parade is an annual attraction of traditional New Orleans Mardi Gras and considered a centerpiece of the festival because of the Krewe's rich and colorful themes, maskers in original costumes and elaborately decorated and hand-painted floats.
The Krewe Of Rex has held more parades than any other organization. They are the origin of many Mardi Gras traditions, including the official Carnival colors of purple, green and gold, as well as the collectible doubloon coins (introduced by Rex in 1960). The Krewe consists of 600 male riders and parades on the New Orleans uptown route on Mardi Gras day.
Founded in 1872, The Krewe Of Rex is one of the oldest participating groups in Mardi Gras. They formed in a New Orleans still recovering from the civil war as a way to entice tourists to visit the city and businesses to put down roots in the community. The city's businessman originally organized Rex to put on a spectacle for the visiting of Grand Duke Alexei Alexandrovich of Russia (remembered now as "Grand Duke Alexis").
The actual name for the Krewe Of Rex is The School of Design.
While Rex is one of the prominent parade Krewes, they are not technically a Super Krewe. A Super Krewe uses technology like fiber-optic lightning on floats that carry hundreds of riders. Rex follows a tradition of using techniques that have been used by generations.
Every year, one member of the Rex Organization is selected to be Rex, the monarch of the Krewe for the year. (He's often called King Rex, but his correct title is just "Rex") Rex is always an influential resident involved in a multiple civic causes and philanthropic pursuits. Their identity is kept secret until Lundi Gras, the day before Mardi Gras. Traditionally, the Mayor hands over to Rex a symbolic key to the City to Rex for Mardi Gras Day.
The Krewe of Rex has an official song, "If Ever I Cease to Love," a song heard throughout New Orleans in the Mardi Gras season. It is a tune that some would describe as quirky, a song from an 1870's musical called "Bluebeard." The story goes that the song was adopted because the Grand Duke Alexis had a fondness for the actress who sang the song in the musical which was playing at the time of his visit to New Orleans.

Pens hope to rebound, extend series win streak over Rangers
One streak may be over for the Pittsburgh Penguins, but they have a shot at extending another one on Wednesday evening in the opener of a home-and-home series with the hosting New York Rangers.
The Penguins carried a 15-game winning streak into Tuesday night's home meeting with the Buffalo Sabres, a run that tied the 1981-82 New York Islanders for the second-longest in NHL history. Only the 1992-93 Penguins own a longer winning streak, a 17-game burst.
However, this current edition of the Pens paid a high cost in the 15th win of their streak on Saturday versus the Islanders. Superstar Sidney Crosby took a puck to the face after a shot by teammate Brooks Orpik in that 2-0 win and is out indefinitely with a fractured jaw.
Without the league's leading scorer, Pittsburgh dropped a 4-1 decision to the Sabres.
In addition to Crosby, defenseman Kris Letang and Paul Martin missed the game due to injury.
Pittsburgh has notched three straight shutouts, with backup Tomas Vokoun having been in net for the last seven periods of that span. He was credited with the two most recent shutouts, but saw his career-best scoreless string snapped at 173 minutes, six seconds when he yielded a short-handed goal with 9:36 to play in the first period.
That also ended the Penguins' franchise-record shutout streak at 218:48.
Jarome Iginla potted his first goal with the Penguins after being acquired last week from the Calgary Flames, but Vokoun ended up allowing four goals on 13 shots before getting lifted early in the second period.
"At the time it felt good to get my first (goal) as a Penguin ... but it's a disappointing feeling now because I know these guys had worked hard at this streak," Iginla said.
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 16 shots he faced in relief, but Pittsburgh also had its club-record 12-game home winning streak come to an end.
Still, Pittsburgh is five points up on the Montreal Canadiens for first place in the Eastern Conference and gets a chance to extend a seven-game series winning streak over the New York Rangers tonight.
The Pens have won all three of their meetings with the Rangers this season, the last two by shutout, and have outscored New York 28-8 over the run with three shutouts. They'll host the Blueshirts on Friday.
That isn't good news for the Rangers, who have lost four straight at home to the Penguins and sit last in the NHL with just 2.26 goals per game.
New York hopes it found the answer to those scoring woes after acquiring forward Ryane Clowe from the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday for three draft picks.
Clowe, who waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the deal, has been snakebitten this year, failing to record a single goal in 28 games. He does have 11 assists and 79 penalty minutes this season and has posted 271 points in 423 career games.
"We are extremely pleased to be able to acquire Ryane," said Rangers general manager Glen Sather in a statement. "He is a unique combination of size, skill and toughness. His strong leadership and character make him a tremendous addition to our organization on and off the ice."
New York had lost four of five, including two straight by way of a shutout, before notching a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Ryan Callahan scored a game-tying goal while shorthanded in the second period and Derek Stepan scored twice, including the game-winner.
Callahan also had three assists, Rick Nash had a goal and a helper and Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves.
"They fought real hard in the first and kept coming at us really strong in the second and third periods," said Lundqvist. "The really big thing for us tonight was the penalty kill and that short-handed goal was huge."
The win allowed the Rangers to remain tied with the Islanders for the eighth spot in the East, but the Blueshirts come into this game ninth overall in the conference following Tuesday's results. They are two points back of the Isles and New Jersey Devils for the last two playoff seeds in the conference with games in hand on both clubs.

Mobile providers less trustworthy than bankers, say punters
And another thing...
New research shows that when it comes to establishing trust and customer satisfaction, the mobile industry is judged less favourably than both the banking and insurance industries. Could it be any worse?
The study, conducted by ECSP Europe Business School in partnership with Pitney Bowes Business Insight, asked a thousand customers from the UK and a thousand more in the US how satisfied they were with their mobile providers.
It was a predictably negative response, with just 40 per cent of customers able to trust their provider's communications. Only 31 per cent felt sharing problems with a service provider would generate a caring response, and a mere 24 per cent thought their operator does a good job at interaction.
After damning stats like that, the fact that 42 per cent were satisfied with their overall treatment seems an acceptable figure.
"What do you mean you won't give me a new handset?"
Are we genuinely struck with sub-standard treatment, or do we have an affinity with dissatisfaction and complaint?
Perhaps we have unacceptable standards and ignore the fact these companies deal with such a high number of customers, a large proportion will almost certainly be hit with problems somewhere down the line. Then again, how our operators deal with such problems could be the bigger issue.
Do you trust your mobile provider? The fact I know that's a silly question speaks volumes. ®

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Oct. 14, 2010)—Zenyatta, who has won all 19 of her starts, worked five furlongs in 1:02 3/5 Thursday morning over the Cushion Track at Hollywood Park.
The drill, which occurred with stablemate El Vino, was the first for the brilliant 6-year-old mare since her third consecutive victory in the Lady's Secret Stakes on Oct. 2 during opening weekend of the inaugural Oak Tree at Hollywood Park meet.
Owned by Jerry and Ann Moss and trained by John Shirreffs, Zenyatta is expected to have two more local works before she heads to Kentucky for a defense of her title in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 6 at Churchill Downs.
According to Hollywood Park clocker and morning line maker Russ Hudak, Zenyatta was timed in 13 4/5 seconds for the first eighth of a mile, 25 4/5 for the half mile, 38 2/5 for three furlongs, meaning she completed the last quarter of a mile in 24 1/5 seconds. She galloped out six furlongs in 1:16 2/5.

I guess all good things must end. Our spring break seemed to go by too quickly. The same sort of things happened this year as did last year. We pretty much do the exact same things at my parents every year and seriously they would all be a big blur if it wasn't for the children getting older. And hence, things getting easier.
There were early morning sunrises.
Fishing on the dock. Charlie can now do the entire thing on his own. Even the release using the needle nose pliers, a huge accomplishment.
Kayaking. It was the first year Charlie took his own.
A lot of swimming. In the ocean and the pool.
Knitting. Of course there was knitting!
And our evening trips to the boardwalk for ice cream.

Oh they will remember each moment! Isn't it great to provide such lovely memories for our children. Zoe just turned three so my thoughts these days when we do an activity or go out on a special outing are "will she remember this now?maybe next year?maybe now?" somehow her being able to remember and not just me makes it even more special.ReplyDelete
ohhhhh love the beach shot...I miss those waves and sand! We really need a vacation!
my parents live in vero beach florida.
vero is north of west palm beach.
i have actually never been to myrtle beach............
i do love south carolina.
Your Spring Break sounds like our end-of-summer beach trip,done every year, right before school starts. DH's family has gone to the same beach since before he was born, and now our kids are reaping the benefits of long,unstructured days, hours of wave riding, walking to the pier every night for ice cream, long games of gin rummy with Grandma (now 95) and soaking up all that beauty of the ocean. It's just the BEST!!! Thanks for sharing your pictures.ReplyDelete
welcome home. lovely photos and memories to post.ReplyDelete
sometimes -- when looking at photos or recalling a favorite memory -- i really wish that i could freeze time and keep the kids young. then, there are times where i think that life would be SO much easier on me once they're older.
but really, does it get easier? i think that yeah, i might not be changing diaper and chasing after a toddler, but i'll be worrying about curfews and unable to chase after teenagers.
How wonderfully idyllic, Leslie! I don't think you need worry. At the end of the day, I'm sure your children will remember how special their upbringing was :o)ReplyDelete
I love that last photo of your kids chasing your parents! Welcome home.ReplyDelete
Welcome back! How great that is! I think it's fun to do the same vacation, where there's a yearly routine. We have that when we hit the family beach cabins each summer. Each one has its own stuff that must be done, and the kids totally anticipate everything. "First we'll walk to Mo's for lunch, then we'll go to the tide pools. After that we'll go to the bakery and get the Haystack bread." The best part is that it's the same as my childhood vacations too - same house, same places. So much fun.ReplyDelete
What a perfect Florida vacation--all ours were identical and just fabulous!:)ReplyDelete
It sounds like you had a wonderful time! I could use a beach vacation right about now. Welcome home!ReplyDelete
Dang! Where do you your parents live? Looks so fabulous!!!!ReplyDelete
Glad you had such a nice time and that you are home safely.
What great pics. I'm sure your children will cherish those memories. We go to Maine every year with my parents, brother and his family and we all stay in the same house together and it is so great being all together.Of course my Mom does a lot of the work for us all so we really get a break. Love the knitting.ReplyDelete
Great pictures. Looks like you had a lovely holiday. I really want to be somewhere with a beach too.ReplyDelete
Oh Leslie, what a fantastic photo montage! I love the boardwalk ice cream trips, fun! Welcome home and those are definitely the moments kids remember forever!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/23/2008
Glad you had a good time & enjoyed the pics. - would love to see more. Your family reminds me of mine. My sister & I & our families (two boys each ages 10-16) always take a vacation to the beach with our parents. We have the best time! The pic. of your kids & your parents along the boardwalk...you will cherish forever!ReplyDelete
That looks such a lovely break, the boardwalk trip every evening would be my favourite!ReplyDelete
I'm so glad you had a great vacation. We always went the same place every year growing up. It's wonderful, isn't it?ReplyDelete

The state and federal governments announced Wednesday that a formal draft of the Delta twin tunnels plan will be finished by Oct. 1.
The state and federal governments announced Wednesday that a formal draft of the Delta twin tunnels plan will be finished by Oct. 1.
Portions of the plan have already been released, but these are merely previews to the formal plan, which will be subject to public comment and, most likely, litigation.
Officials had previously hoped to have the plan by July. Last month, Gov. Jerry Brown wrote to new U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell, asking that the work be expedited.
Water agencies have been pressing the state to move forward, but federal scientists still have concerns whether the project will help fish as advertised.
"This agreement with our federal partners moves us another step closer to being more prepared for an uncertain future in California," Brown said.
In her first comments on what is formally known as the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, Jewell called the new deadline "aggressive."
"But with California's water system at constant risk of failure, and the continuing impacts to imperiled fish, we can't afford the dangers or costs of inaction," she said.
The governor also plugged the tunnels plan during what was described as a surprise visit Wednesday to a conference of the Association of California Water Agencies in Sacramento. According to the association, Brown promised to do "everything humanly possible to get the job done."

Let's cut to the chase; I am totally smitten with the Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon palettes!
I picked up the missing shade in my recent haul; Lust, a palette of deep purple and plums. Gorgeous!
As usual there are mattes and and shimmers. The palette consists of a matte light peach, matte cream, matte purple, metallic grey, matte aubergine and glittery aubergine.
Gorgeous! Super pigmented, I guess a tad of the soft side but I won't hold it against it! Such a beautiful, useful palette!
Are you convinced about these palettes yet?!

Reading List
Go 1.3 has been released after almost 3 months of beta. The new version has no language changes over 1.2, but comes with several performance improvements, support for running command-line programs under Native-Client and several other enhancements.
Some of the most interesting performance and implementation changes -
- Go routine stacks now use a contiguous model instead of the old "segmented" model
- GC is faster - uses concurrent sweep algorithm, has better parallelization and larger pages; leading to 50-70% reduction in GC pause times. It is also now precise when examining values on the stack too.
- Runtime handles defers more efficiently
- Race detector is around 40% faster
- Regexp (regular expressions package) now has a second, one-pass execution engine making it faster for certain simple expressions
- sync.Pool - a new type that provides efficient mechanism for implementing caches whose memory can be reclaimed by the system
- Iterations over small maps (maps with 8 or fewer elements) no longer happen in consistent order; this is to avoid developers writing code that depends on map iteration order, since such code would work well only on some systems
There are also several tooling improvements -
- godoc can now perform static analysis of the code it indexes
- misc/benchcmp (benchmarking tool) has been rewritten as a Go program
- Compilers and linkers have been refactored; the instruction selection phase has been moved to the compiler, which can speed up incremental build times for large projects
- gc toolchain now supports Native Client (NaCl) execution sandbox on 32- and 64-bit Intel architectures. Note that Go 1.3-generated binaries still cannot be run directly by Google Chrome.
There is also a security fix for the crypto/tls library.

Still no proper exception handling?
James Gan
Re: Still no proper exception handling?
Roopesh Shenoy
It's an interesting design choice, considering the abuses of exceptions, especially when they are used for control flow. IMHO if.. else.. is much better for control flow than exceptions, especially for a systems language such as Go.
Re: Still no proper exception handling?
James Gan
I don't think it's reasonable to prune an important feature because people can abuse it.
Having said that, I actually like Google Go language for it's lightweight footprint and good support for parallelism.

Metallica's Kirk Hammett Says He's Written 400 Riffs for New Album
Metallica won't be hurting for any lack of material when they do finally decide to sit down and record a new album.
Kirk Hammett tells Guitar World that he's been piling up the guitar riffs in anticipation of when the band goes in to record. He says, "I'm probably closer to 400 [riffs] now. But you know, out of those 400 there might only be 20 great riffs. It'd be something all 400 were triple-A, diamond-rated ideas, but that's just not the case. Never was and never will be."
Hammett says as much as he has backlogged, James Hetfield may have him beat. He suggested that the singer/guitarist has close to 800 riffs, but that he's not sure how many true songs are in that batch. "It all depends on what we do with it," says the guitarist.
At present, things like the upcoming Orion festival and the filming of their 3D concert film are more in the forefront, but Hammett reveals, "In the fall, we plan on concentrating a little more on writing songs and doing nothing else but just thinking about the new album. That should be interesting."
As for a potential direction, the guitarist says, "We've talked about maybe going a little bit simpler. Now that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen. We've said many times, 'Oh let's try and do this,' and then things end up so far left field of what we tried to do that we had no choice but just to go with it."
Metallica may have their eyes on writing, but Hammett confirms that there is no timetable for the next release. "It's just whenever," says the guitarist. "Whenever it happens, it happens, really."

The Proposal (9/19/10)
Mallory didn't know it was coming.
From time to time she would gently needle me about it. "When are you going to propose?" she'd ask. I'd smile and say "someday," or something equally frustrating.
The night before the proposal we had dinner with her parents. She asked again, and as I shrugged it off I was thinking to myself, "Soon...sooner than you think."
About that time she said, "I bet you don't even have the ring yet!"
Little did she know...
I had the weekend off and we had made plans to go to the Applejack Festival in Nebraska City. It was a bit of a rainy day but we didn't mind. (It actually helped because it made it easier to hide the ring.) As we were leaving, I intentionally left my camera behind so that I would have an excuse to run back inside and slip the ring box into my jacket. Sneaky, no?
So off we went down to Nebraska City, the ring box poking into me the whole time. We started out at the car show downtown - how awesome is it that she likes going to car shows with me? - and it was there that I realized I had forgotten something Very Important.
No, not the ring. Otherwise there wouldn't be any point to this part of the story.
No, what I had forgotten was the battery for my camera. See, part of my plan had been to grab a random person and get them to take a picture of us...and then while they were taking the picture, go into the proposal. Good plan, yes?
Would have been better with the battery, but oh well. I still had the important item - the ring. If there were no pictures of the event, well, so be it.
Having walked the length of the car show, it was back to the truck for a trip over to Arbor Day State Park. We wandered through a craft show in a barn and meandered among all kinds of apples and apple products for sale (we came back with apple pie, caramel apples, apple wine, even a jar of apple cinammon syrup) before heading up the hill toward the Arbor Lodge, where I planned to do the deed.
We had just finished visiting the carriage house - all kinds of neat horse-drawn vehicles from the late 19th and early 20th centuries - when Mallory's phone rang. It was her mother! Knowing we were at the festival, they had decided to come down too. I think Lori suspected what I was up to, but that was okay. Time for Plan B.
While we waited for Lori, Mark, and Adrianne to arrive, Mallory and I decided to go ahead and tour the Lodge. It's a neat old mansion in a setting that reminds me of Virginia - a grand old house, all white with columns and porticos, surrounded by apple orchards and rose gardens. I had already decided that one of the porticos had to be the place, and after walking around I fixed on the south portico, the one overlooking the rose garden, as the perfect spot.
We had just finished walking through the house when her folks walked up. Go time. I asked if they could take a picture of us. They had no cameras, but they had camera phones. They'd do.
We walked around to the south portico and posed for a couple of pictures. Then I reached into my jacket, got down on one knee, and reached for Mallory's hand. She looked confused for a moment and started to give me her right hand. Then she realized what I was doing, said, "Wrong hand!" and gave me her left.
"Mallory," I said, "I love you and I want you to be my wife. Will you marry me?"
When it comes to certain questions, it is very important that you know what the answer will be before you even ask. This is one of them. Through tears she managed to get out a "Yes!" as I slipped the ring on her finger. Adrianne was taking pictures the whole time. Mallory gave me a great big hug and then started bouncing for sheer joy. It was absolutely adorable. There were hugs all around and then the phone calls began.
Finally we started back for home...engaged at last.

Marchand scores twice as Bruins bury Hurricanes
Boston, MA – Brad Marchand scored twice to give the Boston Bruins a 6-2 thumping of the Carolina Hurricanes.
Andrew Ference and Rich Peverley each posted a goal and an assist while Nathan Horton and Jordan Caron also scored for the Bruins, who have won four of their past five. Tuukka Rask made 40 saves.
Boston sits comfortably in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 54 points and now trails the Montreal Canadiens by a point for first place in the Northeast Division and second in the conference.
"Tuukka really played a great game for us tonight," said Boston head coach Claude Julien. "He really made some great saves on some of the mistakes we made and they could have done a lot of damage."
Carolina, meanwhile, has fallen out of the playoff chase as the team is just 1-11-1 since a win at Washington on March 12 which saw the team sitting in first place in the Southeast Division. With 34 points, Carolina is eight back of the Islanders for the final playoff spot with several teams in front of them and just 10 games to play.
Patrick Dwyer and Drayson Bowman each scored for the Hurricanes, who saw starting goaltender Justin Peters pulled eight minutes in after giving up two goals on four shots. Dan Ellis gave up four goals on 32 shots the rest of the way.
"We have to be better in sticking with plays," said Carolina forward Jeff Skinner. "Things just haven't gone our way the past two games because we're getting a lot of shots on net, but not getting it in."
Boston scored just 3:51 in when Peverley fired a shot from the right wing that was stopped, but he grabbed the rebound behind the net and wrapped it in from the left side.
It was 2-0 just four minutes later, as Greg Campbell tried a wraparound from the left side. The puck sat on the doorstep before Marchand banged it in, prompting a goaltending change.
The change didn't help much, though, as Marchand scored again with 2:40 to play in the first after burying a loose puck from the left circle for a 3-0 advantage.
Just 3:57 into the second, Dennis Seidenberg fired a shot from the left point that was tipped in by Ference and Caron scored his first of the year at the 10:29 mark of the middle period with a backhand in front for a 5-0 advantage.
Carolina tried to mount a comeback in the third when Dwyer and Bowman scored 45 seconds apart just past the midway point of the period, but Horton's tip-in with 3:04 to play put the nail in the coffin.
Game Notes
It was a season-high in goals for the Bruins ... Boston has won both matchups with Carolina this season and the clubs have one more game in Carolina on April 13 ... Boston plays in New Jersey on Wednesday ... Carolina hosts Pittsburgh on Tuesday ... Seidenberg had three assists in the game.

A library to use templates much like Perl's HTML::Template.
|Web site
|Mailing list
|OS compatibility
|ASDF installable
|Official Download
|Mirrored Download
|Source code repository
It is loosely modeled after the Perl module HTML::Template and compatible with a subset of its syntax, i.e. it should be possible to use your HTML-TEMPLATE templates with HTML::Template as well (but usually not the other way around).
HTML-TEMPLATE translates templates into efficient closures which can be re-used as often as needed. It uses an intelligent cache mechanism so you can nevertheless update templates while your program is running and have the changes take effect immediately.
The rationale behind something like HTML-TEMPLATE or HTML::Template is that you want to separate code and layout (I think in Newspeak these are called the "Business Layer" and the "Presentation Layer") as much as possible when generating HTML, especially if you work with graphical artists who are responsible for the visual appearance of your site but aren't programmers. Matter of fact, you can't separate code and layout completely. I've worked (or had to work) with several different approaches over the years, including emitting HTML from CGI scripts directly, using tools like Embperl, Mason, PHP (yuk!), or Java/XML/XLST stuff, or employing different Lisp markup languages but found that HTML::Template's approach usually works best for me: The graphical designers only need to learn a minimal set of new tags (three of them) and can update their templates independently from the work done on the backend. It is simple and it just works. YMMV, of course...

California State University Employee Update
One-Time Funds Enable the CSU to Provide More Classes
February 8, 2010
From CSU Chancellor's Office
The CSU will allocate $50.9 million in one-time funds to campuses to provide approximately 8,100 additional course sections systemwide, as well as retain additional lecturers for the fall 2010 term.
The CSU funds became available as a result of a $76.5 million one-time federal stimulus allocation that the CSU received and has used to help meet its payroll. In turn, the CSU will be able to use monies from state support and student fee revenues previously set aside for payroll to add the course sections. The federal stimulus funds and associated CSU funds, however, must be used on a limited-term basis and not create ongoing spending.
Campuses were previously given an initial $25.6 million to add approximately 4,000 classes for the current spring term while the CSU awaited the governor's proposed 2010-11 budget to move forward with the remaining funds. The governor's proposal for 2010-11 restores a $305 million one-time cut in the CSU's current budget and includes an additional $60.6 million in funding for the CSU's enrollment growth.
"The CSU has a strong starting point in what we know will be a long and uncertain budget process, and we want to provide students with as many courses as possible," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "This will help alleviate some of the shortages in classes helping students make faster progress toward their degree."
Universal Access Addressed by Bakersfield President at Hearing
Defining universal access as one of the CSU's cornerstones, CSU Bakersfield President Horace Mitchell emphasized to a legislative panel last week that the CSU actively works to help prepare underrepresented students for college.
"The CSU is committed to universal access," Mitchell stressed at a Feb. 2 information hearing of the Joint Committee on the Master Plan for Higher Education in Sacramento. Mitchell said that access means students are prepared and know what they need to meet college requirements, have a fair opportunity to enroll, and are able to succeed in college.
Mitchell highlighted examples of the CSU's outreach and academic preparation efforts to address the achievement gap, including:
- CSUs Graduation Initiative to increase the graduation rate of its students and reduce by half the gap in degree completion between underrepresented students and their peers
- Early Assessment Program, which allows 11th grade students to assess their college readiness in English and math
- How to Get to College poster, which is available in six languages and outlines the steps middle and high school students need to take to prepare for college
- CSU/AT&T Road to College tour, which travels to underserved communities to provide on-site college preparation and financial aid information.
The hearing was the second in a series being held over the next two months as state lawmakers review the Master Plan to determine whether its original goals of providing access to a quality college education are still serving the needs of the state's students and its workforce. CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed addressed the committee at its first meeting last December and CSU Long Beach President F. King Alexander is scheduled to address the committee on behalf of the CSU on Feb. 17.
CSU Reaches Out to African American Congregations
CSU leaders across the organization will address African American congregations throughout California during the fifth annual "Super Sunday" this month. CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed, campus presidents, trustees, faculty and others will take to the pulpit to encourage students and families to start preparing for college as early as sixth grade.
On Feb. 28, President Milton A. Gordon will be attending Love and Unity Church of God in Christ, 1840 S. Wilmington Ave., Compton, 90220,and Robert L. Palmer, vice president for student affairs, will be participating at Corona Community Church, 321 East Sixth St., Corona, 92879.
The CSU plans to visit close to 100 churches in almost 40 cities. New this year are congregations in Corona, Oceanside, Oxnard, Riverside, Santa Ana, Yorba Linda, Fresno and the San Fernando Valley. See the schedule of events for more information.
Search Committee for Next Cal Poly President Meets
The committee charged with finding a successor to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo President Warren Baker meets today (Feb. 9) at the campus. Baker, who has served as president since 1979, announced his retirement in December.
Trustee Roberta Achtenberg will chair the Trustees' Committee for the Selection of the President. Other trustee members of the selection committee include Carol Chandler, George Gowgani, Glen Toney, Trustee Chair Herbert Carter and CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed.
Board policy requires the chair to appoint an advisory group to the trustees' committee composed of representatives of the faculty, students and alumni, as well as a member of the campus advisory board, all of whom are selected by campus constituent groups. Also on the advisory committee is a vice president or academic dean from the campus, and a president of another CSU campus, both selected by the chancellor. Both committees function as one group.
Members of the Advisory Committee for the selection of the president include:
- Cal State East Bay President Mo Qayoumi
- Helen Bailey, Student Services professional, SLO
- Philip Bailey, dean, College of Science and Math, SLO
- Gary Bloom, Presidents Cabinet, SLO
- Andrew Davol, professor and chair of mechanical engineering department, SLO
- Rachel Fernflores, chair, Academic Senate Cal Poly, SLO
- Kelly Griggs, Associated Student President, SLO
- Margot McDonald, professor of Architecture, SLO
- John Sweeney, president, Cal Poly Alumni Association
- George Soares, community member.

Saints fans who have been around more than a few years know painfully well how important it is to look forward to "next year."
Saints fans who have been around more than a few years know painfully well how important it is to look forward to "next year."
Next year was always the promised land, the time when the offense and defense would both work well and the Black and Gold could reach the playoffs and, perhaps, even a Super Bowl.
Since the arrival of head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, the promise of next year has been more than an empty mantra meant to console the fans of the lovable losers.
The promise of next year has had meaning. Each year, as the Saints have finished in the playoffs, out of the hunt or even as Super Bowl champions, fans could look to the next year with eager anticipation, awaiting the successes to follow.
While there has not yet been a return trip to the Super Bowl, the Saints' offense has continued to give fans hope.
The defense has struggled at times, but the team as a whole is a good one and should only get better in the coming years.
Payton has been reinstated to the team after serving a one-year suspension for his role in the Bountygate scandal in which players were said to have been paid for injuring opponents.
Both Payton and the team seem to have put this year's disappointments behind them, so the fans can do the same.
It is only natural, as football fans watch the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens gearing up for Super Bowl XLVII, for Saints fans to wonder what might have been had it not been for the scandal.
Perhaps the Saints would be getting ready to be the first team to host a Super Bowl. But there is no telling. It is doubtful that the porous defense would have been considerably better, but the Saints might have pulled out another couple of wins. They might have even made the playoffs. The Super Bowl? Not likely.
The media attention on New Orleans and the Superdome can be real positives moving forward. After almost a full year of national media attention on the bounty scandal, it is a great change of pace to see the media talking about the incredible things about New Orleans that make it the perfect Super Bowl host city.
And the Saints players, coaches and fans should take it all in. This was not their year, but next year will be here before we know it, giving the team yet another chance to prove it belongs in the big game.
So bring on the Super Bowl, football fans, but just wait until next year. The Black and Gold will be in the mix once again.

Compare cheap flights to Kingston
When is the cheapest time to fly to Kingston?
Flights to Kingston
The Normal Marley International Airport serves as the gateway to Kingston and to the whole of Jamaica as well. It receives international flights facilitated by Air Jamaica, Air Canada, Virgin Atlantic, British Airways, and other Caribbean airlines.
Bob Marley & Jamaican Culture
The greatest player in Jamaican culture is obviously music icon Bob Marley. So it is no longer surprising to find memoirs of Marley everywhere. The Bob Marley Museum is a must-visit for Jamaican tourists. It is filled with memorabilia and the singer's very own belongings. The site of the museum was once Marley's recording studio and home that was well preserved as a historical site.
Other points of interests when in Kingston include Hope Botanical Gardens, Port Royal, Lime Kay, and People's Museum of Craft and Technology. You may also enjoy live music at Emancipation Park, especially during summer and the Christmas season.

Nuggets Al Harrington has torn meniscus
Nuggets forward Al Harrington left Monday night's game against Golden State at the end of the third quarter and did not return. Afterward he revealed he has a torn meniscus.
His loss would be devastating to the Nuggets' bench and locker room, as he's been one of the team's best players and leaders all season long. He's also been durable, playing in all 57 games this season with averages of roughly 14 points and six rebounds, despite nagging injuries all year long.
He had 10 points and one rebound before exiting the Golden State game.
He's hoping his consistent availablity this season doesn't come to an end. Harrington, has, in fact already been playing with a torn meniscus, he said. He said he was injured "a couple of games ago."
Now, he said, both he and team doctors/trainers are exploring "a couple of different options" in terms of treatment. With just two weeks left until the playoffs, Harrington, who added he's never played on a torn meniscus before, wants to continue to play.
"I'm going to stay in the race," he said.

Re^2: How to handle a browser window that opens up during the execution of some external program commandsby tarunmudgal4u (Sexton)
|on Mar 28, 2013 at 16:03 UTC ( #1025992=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Hi McA, Thanks for your help in previous post :) As you can see in this script snippet, I redirected the powershell STDOUT to a file. It's not the exact solution of my earlier problem but, it's just a workaround.
In my earlier post I wanted to store the powershell script output in a variable. It didn't work using open2 function. So, to move ahead with my objective in a faster way, I used this workaround. Now, here again as you see, I found a trouble :) This time my powershell script invoked a browser, where I need to put my credential and click on the validation button.
Here, I think I can solve this problem in two ways, either modify the powershell code itself or find a way in perl to handle it. First way to modify powershell script seems reluctant to me as it would require powershell knowledge and also modification in the existing scripts (this thing I want to avoid). Second way is good as it would enhance my Perl skills and I would love that :)

With a break from the rain, contractors began clearing trees along the S.C. 170 widening route last week.
In the weeks ahead, the greens will continued to be cleared and the land will be flattened. The clearing of trees is necessary in order to create two southbound lanes, said Joy Nelson, public information officer for Beaufort County.
She also said motorists can also expect fewer potholes in the next month.
"We've had a lot of complaints about the potholes and in the next few weeks drivers can expect to see 'full depth patching' to kind of patch the rough areas before the final full cover at end of the project," Nelson said.
The project was given an 18-month timeline at a cost of $31 million. Nelson speculates the project to be completed by spring of 2014.
The Beaufort County Council awarded design and construction contracts to widen 4.5 miles between S.C. 46 and U.S. 278 from two to four lanes. The divided roadway will include 10-foot pathways for pedestrian and bicycle use.
The county received $25 million from the state Department of Transportation's Infrastructure Bank for the project.
The widening of the roadway will alleviate congestion coming from the Bluffton Parkway. When completed, Nelson said the road could become an evacuation route because it will be an easier access to U.S. 278 and S.C. 46 from the parkway.
"It's going to be a painful 12 months, but motorists just have to be patient," she said. "It is going to make for a nicer and easier drive."
Last month, the speed limit on S.C. 170 changed to 45 mph from Sgt. William Jasper Boulevard to the S.C. 46 traffic circle until the project is complete.
This speed limit will stay the same in the current 35 mph zones.
Sun City resident and AARP Driver Safety instructor, Joyce Tartow said, "Continually be on the alert and proceed with caution at all times, whatever the posted speed limit may be. Simply know you have to slow down in that area because there are people involved in the reconstructing on both sides of the highway."
Project workers, equipment, traffic control signs, as well as all message board information will be present until the project's completion.
"Having patience and caution at all times will be the rule of thumb for a very long time," Tartow said.
Thomas & Hutton of Savannah received $217,000 for the project's design while Cleland Site Prep of Ridgeland received nearly $15 million for construction.

Jon Gosselin Speaks Out Against Kate
Kate Gosselin picks up her kids at the bus stop before dropping by the bank and UPS store on Monday (August 31) in Reading, Penn.
The 34-year-old mother has been sharing her side of the story on various shows since announcing her divorce from Jon Gosselin.
For the first time since the announcement, Jon is finally speaking out. Talking with Good Morning America's Chris Cuomo, the father of 8 shared his side of the story.
"I'm taking care of the kids," Jon said. "She's on book tours, she's doing all these things. You know, she's gone a week. You know, comes back. Unpacks, repacks, does laundry, packs up and leaves again. I'm standing there like, 'Oh, okay. Your mom's gone again.'"
Reflecting back on his marriage with Kate, Jon added, "I took a lot of abuse from her. I was put down."
The full interview will air on ABC's Primetime: Family Secrets on Sept. 8.

Inglorious Bastards (US - BD)
Gabe returns to the WWII adventures of the Filthy Five on glorious Blu-ray disc...
Reviewer note: Again, I saw no reason to entirely rewrite my thoughts on this film, so the feature section of this review is basically the same as my original R2 DVD review.
At the tail end of WWII a group of American soldiers are shipped off to military prison for a variety of infractions, ranging from simple desertion to cold-blooded murder. While in transport a German artillery attack hits the convoy, killing the MPs and enabling five of the prisoners to escape. The group decides to head for neutral Switzerland, where they can avoid the fighting and prison. As they make their way to what they assume will be freedom, they unexpectedly find themselves volunteering for a commando mission to steal a V2 warhead for the French Underground.
Any film fanatic that doesn't like Robert Aldrich's Dirty Dozen is suspect. The Dozen, of course, had its inspirations ( Seven Samurai, The Guns of Navarone, The Great Escape), but few films have infiltrated the world psyche as thoroughly, and few films have inspired so much more of the same. The general rule of thumb in art and entertainment is that rip-offs suck, yet most of the films that have imitated the Dirty Dozen model have been monstrously entertaining in the least. Some of the subgenre's best (and very few movies can claim a subgenre in their wake, except maybe Jaws, The Exorcist, and Halloween) have come from Italy, a nation known for milking popular formulas to powder.
Though I'm particularly partial to Gianfranco Parolini's Five for Hell, it's hard to argue with the wisdom of trash cineaste Quentin Tarantino when he calls Inglorious Bastards (aka: Quel maledetto treno blindato, Deadly Mission, and G.I. Bro as a re-edited edition) the subgenre's finest, and one of his personal favourite war features. Enzo G. Castellari, the director behind other successful cash-ins like The New Barbarians (a Road Warrior rip), and Great White (a Jaws rip), and genuinely successful Spaghetti Westerns like Keoma and Johnny Hamlet, crafts a joyous romp on the less than serious side of the last great war, and the energy behind his craft is impossible to resist.
The characters are quite arch, and the plot quite incidental (it really could be summed up as 'some tough guys stop Nazis'), but Inglorious Bastards celebrates its shortcomings with effective performances, and a whole lot of '70s style, Peckinpah inspired, lo-fi action. The sterling cast is fronted by two grindhouse favourites—Bo Svenson (you may remember him as the Reverend in Kill Bill 2) and Fred Williamson (if you don't know who he is you obviously don't pay a lot of attention to '70s cinema). Though Svenson is obviously filling the Lee Marvin slot on the roster, his brand of charm is different from the veteran tough guy, and the Swedish born, real life Marine generates a genuinely memorable performance. Williamson, typecast to this day, wisely plays partially against type. He still plays the tough guy, but here he plays most scenes for more light-hearted laughs (like coyly peeking between clasped fingers at bathing German beauties).
The only thing missing from this cast is an effective villain—a Klaus Kinski, or even a Werner Klemperer. Inglorious Bastards is a movie about anti-heroes, and because the protagonists often represent the best and worst in people the screenwriters forget to include a dastardly, or even gimmicky evildoer.
For the most part Castellari avoids the weighty issues and morals that normal follow WWII features, instead aiming for a simple, fun time. Considering his other films, the country of origin, and the year the film was made, Inglorious Bastards is also a remarkably bloodless feature. There's a lot of slow motion shoot up, but not much in the way of juicy squibs or racing red stuffs. This sort of innocence just adds to the film's charm and its Saturday afternoon serial flavour. Only a particularly amusing scene of naked, bathing German maidens and a couple of naughty words (the dialogue is actually quite clever for an Italian feature filmed in English and German), Inglorious Bastards would be a fine picture to show the kiddies.
I never got my hands on Severin's standard DVD release, so I'm comparing this Blu-ray to my Scandinavian special edition release, which was more than acceptable considering the limitations of the format and the age and obscurity of the film itself. There are odd, off moments where details become bit blurry and the contrast becomes a bit muddled, and the amount of film grain is never consistent, but overall this transfer is almost a revelation in clarity (suddenly the matte paintings are pretty obvious). Besides the perfectly acceptable film grain, there aren't many obvious chunks of artefacting, or any obvious digital compression. Between splices the print jumps a bit, and there are a few samples of warping frames, but most of us can ignore these in favour of the increased details, deeper contras and brighter colours. I complained a bit about the faded and washed out appearance of some of the colours when I reviewed the Scandinavian disc, but a second look here, and a quick check of other screen caps across the internet leads me to believe that the look was intended by Castellari. The print still seems a bit too bright to me, but black levels don't suffer.
The video is as close to perfect as we can possibly expect from the source material, I'm assuming, but there's still some room for improvement on the audio front. Both the Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Surround tracks are a bit on the quiet side of things, and are lacking in dynamic range. The LFE punches a bit during explosions, but is mostly relatively inactive throughout. The dialogue is clean and clear, but like the rest of the track it features a bit of unneeded reverb. Despite the 5.1 enhancement sound effects remain relatively centred, and by centred I really mean spread evenly across the front three channels. It's not a problem, really, but it sort of renders the 5.1 remixing moot. I forgot how little music the film featured, but when it's there it's probably the mix's crowning achievement. Severin doesn't include the Italian dialogue track for completists, but most of us should probably be fine with this, since the leads are mostly speaking English anyway. Also, this marks the first time I've managed to see the film with subtitles during the German speaking scenes, which are actually pretty important in this case.
Most of the disc's extras have been ported from Severin's DVD release, minus the original CD soundtrack (sad face). Things start with a commentary with director Castellari, a moderator and a translator. The track is informative despite Castellari's problems with English, and is pretty cheerful overall. Our moderator keeps Castellari on track, and asks all the right questions concerning technical aspects, and inspiration. The director's conversations and relationships with Quentin Tarantino are covered, as are interesting factoids concerning laws that were passed against using firing guns on movie sets during filming (hence the use of weapons found in the castle during the infiltration scene).
The featurettes and interviews begin with 'Back to the War Zone' (13:00, SD), a tonally bland visit to many of the film's key locations with Castellari, interspliced with the appropriate scene from the film, and set to the film's score. It's followed by 'Train Kept a Rollin' (01:15:00, SD), a real documentary look at the making of the film. Interview subjects include actors Bo Svenson, Fred Williamson and Massimo Vanni, producer Roberto Sbariga, director Castellari, writer Laura Toscano, practical effects man Gino De Rossi, and composer Francesco De Masi's son (De Masi must have died since the Scandinavian release). This is a solid retrospective doc, covering the film from all angles, technical and personal. Despite the relatively bulky runtime this feature moves swiftly, and is as effortlessly entertaining as the movie itself.
'A Conversation with Enzo Castellari and Quentin Tarantino' (38:00, SD) is the kind of thing we've come to expect from Tarantino—wide-eyed, excitable, loud, and generally entertaining in a geeky fashion. The duo talk about the film, and Tarantino's pseudo-remake (really, it's just the title guys). The most interesting stuff is QT's early talk about his personal relationship with the film, which was almost entirely unseen in the States before Severin's DVD release (though it was available on VHS, I only ever saw the recut G.I. Bro release). Those curious about Tarantino's film should be aware that this was filmed way before even pre-production started on Inglourious Basterds, so there isn't any real behind the scenes information.
The Blu-ray exclusive extras start with 'Enzo's 70th Birthday in Los Angeles' (07:00, SD), a short reunion between Castellari, Svenson, and Williamson, who are a little fluffy, but enjoyable. John Steiner, John Saxon and Lou Ferrigno show up to the party too. 'Reunion at the New Beverly' (11:30, SD) is a brief collection of video clips, and a Q and A from a showing at the Los Angeles theatre, which was attended by Castellari, Williamson and Svenson. It appears that Larry Franco also made an appearance. Things end with two trailers, and a trailer for Eagles Over London (all HD).
Inglorious Bastards is just as much fun the second time around, and in high definition it looks shockingly good, even if the sound isn't particularly impressive. Severin loses a few points for changing their original DVD release to ape the poster art for Quentin Tarantino's pseudo-remake (very sneaky), and for not including the CD soundtrack, but there's little else to complain about here. The extras aren't going to be new to those that own the DVD version, but are still solid in their own right, including a fantastic feature length retrospective documentary.

Love this film. Glad the BD is up to scratch, mine's in the post.
Thanks Vincent. I'll correct that.
Gabe, 'Enzo's 70th Birthday in Los Angeles', 'Reunion at the New Beverly' and the trailer for Eagles Over London weren't present on the 3-disc standard dvd and are exclusive to this blu-ray.
Love me some B*****ds.
Just noticed that Castellari's Eagles Over London is getting a Blu-ray & DVD release on the 11th of August from Severin.

I almost pulled the trigger and bought the DVD release, a few weeks back. I wasn't even aware they were releasing a Blu-ray version of this film until I saw it on Amazon, just a couple days ago. This movie is a must-have for Svenson and Fred "The Hammer/Black Caesar" Williamson.

Exploiting the natural warmth of lambswool and the impressive nature of temperature-regulating cotton, a night on the Baron may just be the best night's sleep you ever have. This superbly prepared mattress features 1200 body-moulding pocket springs that are specifically designed to support your body.
With a plump sleeping surface, this medium tension mattress isn't too heavy and has a generous mattress depth of 29cm. Along the sides of the mattress is The British Bed Company's own Bulldog Border, which supports the sides of the frame, so no matter what bizarre sleeping position you adopt, you'll still be expertly supported.
Locally produced in Norfolk, if you're looking for a stress-free process in terms of ordering a mattress (we know it can sometimes be a risky business), then the British Bed Company couldn't be more recommended.

Firm but comfy. Has improve our nights` sleep. Excellent value!
Excellent service and brilliant mattress! Delivery service was efficient. At 9 months pregnant I am sleeping the best I have done all pregnancy on our new mattress.
This mattress is exceptionally comfortable. It has just the right amount of firmness, not too much. As my husband is much heavier than I am, the support of the mattress stops me rolling towards him, supporting us individually. The edges of the mattress are firm , so you don`t feel as though you are going to roll off the edge, a distinct improvement on our old one! We would definitely recommend this mattress to anyone, and consider it money well spent.
Excellent mattress, no complaints with either the service or the mattress itself.

Still early days but seems very comfortable
Delivered within 24hrs without any hassle, wouldn`t hesitate to order future products via mattressman. On the mattress itself, seems to be good quality from initial use - I only have 4* instead of 5* as there is a small amount of `roll-together` where my partner is heavier than me.
This is such a comfortable mattress. We are very happy with our purchase.

The Build quality is exceptional. I replaced my old mattress (12 plus years old) and I am disappointed that we still have a degree of roll together with the Baron Mattress so cannot give it 5 stars I am afraid.
So comfy. It is the tallest mattress I have ever seen!

My favourite mattress would have to be The Baron, which is a high-quality mattress with a great price. It has natural fillings (lambswool and temperature-regulating cotton) which help to regulate your temperature and provide you with a great night's sleep in any season, while its bulldog border means you can sleep right up to the edge of the bed and still feel well supported.
This is a medium firm mattress that is suitable for average to heavily weighted people. It has 1200 pocket springs in a 5', and thanks to those springs, you don't get that roll-together feeling. The Baron has natural fillings (cotton/wool) so it's good for regulating temperature, and it also has a bulldog border to support the sides.
