Memblaze PBlaze3H and PBlaze3L Application Accelerator Review
Memblaze offers a dizzying array of configurations for PBlaze3 across 38 different capacities as part Memblaze's Pianokey technology. In addition to the MLC-based drives evaluated for this review, both drives are also available in SLC editions. Pianokey and other core components of the PBlaze3 platform are built with Memblaze's own proprietary technologies which is one reason to keep an eye on their emerging new product lines. One of the advantages that Memblaze argues for its products over comparable drives is that the card provides most of the computational and DRAM requirements for its operation, reducing PBlaze3's operational overhead to the host system.Read more

Fusion-io ioDrive2 Duo MLC Application Accelerator Review
The Fusion-io ioDrive2 Duo MLC is a full-height half-length (FHHL) application accelerator that provides up to 2.4TB of capacity via x8 PCI Express slot. Fusion-io cards are notorious for their throughput performance as well as their low latencies, the combination of which drives some of the best responsiveness in the industry. Fusion-io's ioDrive2 cards are all fundamentally all the same, with hardware differences that differentiate. In this case, the ioDrive2 Duo combines a second controller and doubles the NAND pool compared to a standard ioDrive2. Fusion-io is also using MLC in this iteration, meaning users can get twice the capacity when compared to the SLC versions of the drives. Performance wise the MLC and SLC ioDrive2 Duo cards perform pretty similarly, the most obvious differences come in read latency, 68µs for the MLC and 47µs for the SLC, and endurance.Read more

OCZ ZD-XL SQL Accelerator Review
The OCZ ZD-XL SQL Accelerator is a duty-specific combination of hardware and software designed explicitly, as the name implies, to accelerate SQL databases. ZD-XL leverages an OCZ Z-Drive R4 RM series PCIe application accelerator as the flash storage layer combined with a host application to either accelerate a SQL volume on hard drives or accelerate a SQL database by placing it in flash. Its biggest differentiator though is a third option; if the situation calls for it ZD-XL can do both - accelerate a SQL volume on the flash card and cache large databases that reside on HDDs.Read more

Micron P420m Enterprise PCIe SSD Review
The Micron P420m is an enterprise application accelerator that ranges up to 1.4TB in total capacity that leverages the PCIe interface and is uniquely offered in both a half-height, half-length (HHHL) and 2.5" form factors. Micron has opted for 25nm MLC NAND for the P420m to meet not only mainstream market requirements for performance and reliability, but also to provide a more cost-effective and higher capacity offering than their P320h which is paired with SLC NAND. The other core difference between the P420m and the P320h is that Micron has added capacitors to protect in-flight data in the event of an unplanned loss of power. The additional data protection feature keeps the card powered long enough to flush all writes to the NAND, giving enterprises one more layer of data protection. The HHHL card interfaces via PCIe Gen2 x8 to achieve sequential read performance up to 3.3GB/s with writes up to 630MB/s and random reads up to 750,000 IOPS and 95,000 IOPS for write activity. The 2.5" interfaces over PCIe Gen2 x4 for up to 1.8GB/s and 430,000 IOPS, respectively.Read more

Huawei Tecal ES3000 Application Accelerator Review
The Huawei Tecal ES3000 is a family of full-height half-length enterprise application accelerators that leverage MLC NAND in capacities up to 2.4TB and PCIe interface (2.0 x8). On the surface the Huawei cards sound similar to many other products on the market, but a deeper look reveals a unique triple controller design that joins two PCBs together to form an impressive offering. On the top end of the performance scale this means 3.2GB/s max read bandwidth and 2.8GB/s write. From a latency angle, all thee capacities can drive 49µs and write latency of 8µs. The cards have a number of additional features as well including enhanced error checking, power fail protection and mechanisms to drive enhanced endurance over the course of their life.Read more

Fusion-io ioDrive2 MLC Application Accelerator Review (1.2TB)
The Fusion-io ioDrive2 MLC application accelerator comes in capacities up to 1.2TB in a half-height half-length (HHHL) form factor (or 3TB in FHHL) and is highlighted by exceedingly low read and write access latencies. While we've previously reviewed the ioDrive2 flagship Duo SLC, which is great for the most demanding applications, the ioDrive2 single drive with MLC is designed for more "pedestrian" workloads. Pedestrian in ioMemory language though means applications like databases that can accept read latencies of 68µs, compared to the 47µs latency found in the higher-end SLC ioDrive2. Of course offering the drive with MLC NAND brings with it benefits like reduced cost, and the MLC iteration also comes in higher capacities. The ioDrive2 single MLC comes in at a maximum 1.2TB capacity in HHHL or 3TB in FHHL, while the SLC Duo tops out at 600GB and 1.2TB respectively (though the Duo featured with MLC maxes at 1.2TB HHHL and 2.4TB FHHL capacities).Read more

Micron P320h 2.5" PCIe Application Accelerator Review
In March of last year, Micron announced a new 2.5" form factor for their P320h application accelerator card. PCIe cards have been the de facto standard for any enterprise looking to drive maximum responsiveness from their storage. The form factor does suffer though from issues that don't bother traditional 2.5" and 3.5" form factors such as hot swapability. It's rarely practical to power down a server and remove it from a rack to service the storage inside. Thus, the 2.5" PCIe form factor enables the speed that the PCIe interface can deliver, with the serviceability that standard drives offer. Of course a new interface means little without server support, and as part of the announcement from Micron, Dell stepped up with server support for the new drives in many of their 12th Gen PowerEdge servers. The Dell servers, like our Dell PowerEdge R720 12G with Express Flash (Dell's branding of 2.5" PCIe), offers up to four 2.5" P320h drives accessible by standard access in the front of the server via a specialized backplane.Read more

LSI Nytro WarpDrive BLP4-400 Application Accelerator Review
The LSI Nytro WarpDrive BLP4-400 is a half-height half-length PCIe application accelerator that offers 400GB of eMLC NAND. Like the WLP4-200 200GB SLC model we have reviewed previously, the BLP4-400 combines four NAND pools leveraging SandForce controllers into a single storage volume. The drive is designed to be easy to deploy; the universal form factor slots easily into most servers, and thanks to LSI's background in HBAs and RAID cards, the WarpDrive usually doesn't require additional software or drivers to be installed. The WarpDrive family is as close as it gets to plug and play in an enterprise flash storage environment.Read more

Fusion-io ioDrive2 Duo SLC Application Accelerator Review (1.2TB)
The Fusion-io ioDrive2 Duo is a full-height, half-length application accelerator that, when paired with SLC NAND, offers 1.2TB of low-latency, high-endurance storage for today's most demanding applications. While branded as a second generation product, the naming is somewhat misleading as Fusion-io has long been a pioneer in the memory-as-storage range with their assorted ioMemory products. That experience shows not just in product development and spec sheet highlights, but all the way through to management as well; Fusion-io boasts the most robust drive management software suite on the market with ioSphere. Still, pretty software and proven drive design are only part of the equation. Enterprises deploy these products with one goal in mind; reduce application response times by attacking storage system latency. The SLC iteration of the ioDrive2 brings laser-focus to this issue, offering read access latency of 47µs and write access latency of 15µs. This compares to read access latency of 68µs in the MLC-based ioDrive2 (they have the same write latency) and while roughly 20µs doesn't sound like much, it can be a virtual eternity for applications that have been tuned for use with flash storage.Read more

Virident FlashMAX II MLC Application Accelerator Review (2.2TB)
The Virident FlashMAX II is a half-height, half-length PCIe application accelerator (AA) that's available with MLC flash media. The FlashMAX II is available in capacities up to 2.2TB, making it the largest available AA in this form factor. As with any product in this class however, density may be nice but ultimately performance is a substantial driver of adoption. The FlashMAX II offers mixed 4K IOPS (75% read, 25% write) of up to 200,000, along with 325,000 4K read IOPS.Read more

Five unfilmable books (that are now films)
Cloud Atlas is released on Blu-ray this week – the film of David Mitchell's acclaimed novel, a book previously thought unfilmable. It's almost a challenge to a director: book is hugely popular but hugely complicated. You could never make a film of it. Or could you? Here are the five Unfilmable Books that have made their way to the big screen over the last 20 years – with a wide variety of success.
In 1993, Irvine Welsh wrote his punk novel about drug taking in Edinburgh predominantly in Scottish dialect, with a very loose narrative, hung around a variety of central characters. Great book, not great ingredients for a film. Then in 1996 director Danny Boyle, equipped with a screenplay from John Hodge, got hold of it and produced the iconic film of the 1990s, capturing the tone, the humour, the horror and the satire of the novel. And 17 years on, there's talk of a sequel."Only if the script is right," says Robert Carlyle who played the terrifying Begbie in the original.
Life of Pi
Yann Martel's fantastical exploration of faith and story telling where a young Indian man is marooned at sea with only a Bengal tiger for company appeared impossible to translate to the big screen – actors, tigers and boats seemed an unhealthy mix. By the time director Ang Lee had a crack at it, film technology had caught up with Martel's imagination and Life of Pi the film became a reality, winning four Oscars this year – including cinematography – and breathing a soul into the CGI creation that was the tiger: Richard Parker.
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
They still haven't invented smell-a-vision – whoever "they" are – and this was a basic obstacle for any attempts to adapt Patrick Suskind's 1985 novel Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. He tells an 18th century tale of serial killer Grenouille via the medium of the nose; every description involves smell, the killer's motives and resolution is all about scent, the nose is everything. Translate that… Tom Tykwer had a go in 2006 and met with mixed success – a sensational looking film that included an astonishing mass orgy at its conclusion, but it lacked that key, and smelly, ingredient that made the book so hypnotic.
In what amounts to a love letter to Vita Sackville-West, Virginia Woolf's 1928 novel about the ever-living aristocrat who starts off a man, finishes as a woman, never grows old (and no one notices), is a complicated – if joyful – narrative to justify. It doesn't make sense and it needed all Woolf's writing skills to work. But when Sally Potter cast the androgynous Tilda Swinton for her 1992 adaption, the pieces started to click. Knowing, funny, strange and beautiful now apply to both book and film.
Cloud Atlas
David Mitchell's brilliant yet complex novel sees six stories – set in a range of times from the 18th century to a post-apocalyptic future – fitted within each other; the first story concludes in the last chapter, the second story finishes in the penultimate chapter – and so on. Each story is a belter in its own right, each is wildly different, yet there are both explicit and subtle links between them. It is vast and versatile – again, not natural ingredients for the cinema. Tom Tykwer and the Wachowski siblings took it on – with a stellar cast – and produced a film that has divided opinion. The directors ignored the structure so integral to the book and – perhaps – retained too much of the language. One thing everyone agreed: it is a stunning looking film – and for that alone, merits a spot in any Blu-ray library. It'll also get you thinking.

DULZURA (CNS) - A fire blackened about 10 acres of brush near the Daley Ranch outside Dulzura Saturday before firefighters stopped its spread, fire officials said.
The fire was on the south side of Campo Road, State Route 94, near Daley Ranch Truck Trail, about midway between Jamul and the Otay Lakes Road turnoff. It was reported about 12:20 p.m. and no structures were threatened, according to Cal Fire dispatchers.
Crews would likely remain on scene for several hours working to gain full containment and control of the fire. Its cause was under investigation, Cal Fire officials said.
Authorities temporarily closed the two-lane Route 94 between Otay Lakes Road and Jamul, and Campo Road traffic was detoured through Chula Vista via Otay Lakes Road. But the fire was burning away from the highway, according to the California Highway Patrol.

|Q172 Quantizer Aid
Click Image for Large View
The Q172 Quantizer Aid operates in conjunction with the Q171 Quantizer Bank providing a fourth quantizer channel along with many unique features.
Note: The Q172 requires the Q171 to operate.
Features include rotary switch selection of the note group and the addition of new groups including quarter-tone, and 3 user-programmable groups.
A MIDI output jack produces digital notes matching the quantized output. This effectively turns our analog sequencers (Q119 and Q960) into MIDI sequencers and offers many interesting connectivity possibilities with digital equipment.
A Bypass switch provides real-time selection of a quantized or unquantized output.
A 3-position Transpose switch lets the operator add or subtract an octave to the quantized output in real-time. The transpose input jack provides voltage controlled transposition to the Pitch voltage output.
The MIDI input jack provides a simple method of programming the 3 user-programmable note groups. Simply plug in a keyboard controller and press the keys you'd like in your custom group. Groups are saved through power cycles.
The Gate input can be used to control the timing of quantization and allows operation as a digital Sample and Hold. The Gate output provides a pulse at each quantization output change to trigger external events such as envelope generators and sequencers.

Pitch Input
This does not have to be a pitch voltage, it can be any signal within the valid range.
Voltage range is 0-10 volts (10 octaves).
Voltages below 0 will be quantized as 0
and voltages above 10 will be quantized as 10.
To quantize bipolar signals such as -5v/+5v waveforms from an oscillator, use a Q125 Signal Processor to shift (add +5v offset) the signal to produce 0-10v.
Pitch Output
The output voltage produced will be the closest match to a note within the selected note group. The output is low impedance capable of driving 6+ oscillators with minimal droop.

Data Sheet
Usage and Patch Tips
Programmable Groups
To program a custom group, set the Note Group selection switch to the desired programmable group - 1, 2 or 3. Then patch the MIDI output of a MIDI controller (typically a keyboard) to the MIDI input on the Q172 panel. The MIDI controller must be set to MIDI channel 1.
Choose an octave (C thru B) on the MIDI controller to be used for programming. Begin pressing the desired notes. Pressing a note repeatedly will toggle the note On/Off - ie: add/remove it from the group. Pressing a key outside of the octave will cause all notes in the group to be cleared.
Each programmed key also includes pitch-bend data. Use the pitch-bend wheel on a controller then press a key to program the note. When a note is added to a group with pitch-bend, it must also have the exact same pitch-bend to removing it. This can be made easier by programming the Q172 using MIDI software running on a personal computer.
Programmable note groups are saved automatically to internal non-volatile memory if the quantizer does not receive a new MIDI note for 10 seconds.
It's easier to program a group when you can hear what is happening. Patch the Pitch Out and Gate Out of the quantizer to a normal synthesizer patch (VCO,EG,VCA) so you can hear the output. Patch a Ramp waveform from a Q106 Oscillator through a Q125 Signal Processor, then to the Pitch In of the Quantizer.
Adjust the speed of the oscillator to about 5hz so you can hear the notes. Adjust the Offset and Gain of the Q125 to get a range of voltages that lets you hear all the notes in one or more octaves. Now you can hear the notes as you add and remove them from the programmable group.

759 Cote-Vertu
Montreal, Quebec
Train: Montpellier
Bus: STM 121, 128, 171
Visit: December 10, 2012
Have you ever passed some large metropolitan street and stopped to think about the many tiny places that are hidden there? You'd be surprised how many places we overlook because they mesh with their background. There are so many strip malls on the island of Montreal that contain places that go unknown because we just zoom past them. One of those such places is called Crazy Falafel, located on a busy street known as Cote-Vertu.
Crazy Falafel is one of those pick-up places that is quite tiny. You tend to go there if you're looking for a quick fix or something that is budget friendly. Their three locations are spread around the Greater Montreal Area to better serve a growing demand for Halal products. Their latest location is in the heart of Downtown Montreal, right next to the Bay. That location actually used to be another big name in the burger game, Buns.
My interest in Crazy Falafel didn't really register until I made a bit of a discovery considering the people who are behind the operation. The owners of the restaurant happen to be from the same community I work for. Even though it's a big world out there, it's still something that made me want to see what Crazy Falafel was all about.
Like I mentioned before, Crazy Falafel isn't that big of a place. If you intend on eating over there, you'll have to make do with the few tables that are lined against the wall. The stools are quite tall, so it might be a bit awkward to eat a whole meal there.
The ordering process is very much like your local fast food establishment. After you survey the rather large menu, you'll see that the prices are generous and the variety is enough to keep you busy for years. Once you solidify your order with the courteous people at the cash, all you have to do is wait.
During my visit, right before supper rush, it was pretty quiet. There were only 2 people working the counter and that seemed more than enough. As the night sky became more dominant, a steady flow of customers started coming in and made their orders.
My intention during my visit was to try their burger. There were a few options on the menu, including a very large one and one with an egg. Since I also wanted to try their poutine, I wasn't about to order to separate trios. Luckily, there is an option to order the burger by itself, just like the poutine.
This is the small sized poutine. I need to mention that because the other sizes would make this one look really tiny. Portions are somewhat generous over here and it's something that I really wanted to note. In combination with the burger I chose, I had quite the difficult time finishing the whole thing.
While the sauce and fries are nothing really out of the ordinary, it was the cheese that stood out. As you're eating the poutine, the cheese is melting in such a way that continuing to eat becomes an adventure. Since I like adventures, it was one that I was willing to go on without much fear. In the end, be prepared to get messy while downing your poutine.
If there was one thing I had to say about the poutine, it would be about the coverage of the sauce. At the tail end of the eating process, I had a difficult time making sure that all the fries were covered with the sauce. The fries were alright on their own, but the sauce took them a notch above. The sauce just went away too quickly for me.
This burger contains coleslaw, ketchup, mayonnaise, and cheese.
This is your burger in its simplest form. Here, you have all sorts of condiments combining together to make something quite special. Normally, I'm not a condiment person. I don't go out of my way to add any condiments to a burger unless is comes that way. To me, if the restaurant wants a burger to have ketchup, they'll put it on the burger at the get-go.
The combination of ketchup and mayonnaise create a unique taste that makes this burger out of the ordinary. There is a certain appeal to having a burger with the ketchup/mayo combination. When I took my first bites, I was real happy and glad that I made the choice to come here.
As the meal went on, with the "small" poutine also being consumed, I got burger fatigue. No matter how good a burger is, you'll start regretting every bite. The combination of the two condiments can be an acquired taste. If you're not used to having those two, it can become hard to put down.
My slight complaint towards this burger would be in the lack of punch for the cheese. The cheese is clearly in the picture, but it doesn't play much of a role. The simple, overpowering nature of both ketchup and mayonnaise make it a moot point.
Overall, I certainly get the appeal of a burger like this. It's clear that all the parts of the burger were carefully thought out before being offered on the menu. It would certainly have its own following and one that is much deserved.
Final Verdict
If you're ever in the Cote-Vertu area and are looking for something crazy, rest assured that Crazy Falafel will have something that will satisfy your urges. For the price you'll be paying, it's a guarantee that you'll be full.
If you have any comments about anything you read here, you can always interact with me on Facebook or on Twitter.

War of 1812
The war of 1812 was a military conflict between the United States and Great Britain. As a colony of Great Britain, Canada was swept up in the War of 1812 and was invaded a number of times by the Americans.
War of 1812
The war of 1812 was a military conflict between the United States and Great Britain. As a colony of Great Britain, Canada was swept up in the War of 1812 and was invaded a number of times by the Americans. The process of naming the War of 1812 for its year of commencement, even though it lasted into 1814, developed slowly through the 19th century.
Causes of the War of 1812
The real origins of the War of 1812 were in the conflict that raged in Europe for two decades after Napoleon Bonaparte. These Napoleonic Wars caused Great Britain to adopt measures that greatly aggravated the United States. On 21 Nov 1806 Napoleon ordered a blockade (the Berlin Decree) of shipping aimed at crippling British trade. He ordered all European ports under his control closed to British ships. He further decreed that neutral and French ships would be seized if they visited a British port before entering a continental port (the so-called Continental System).
Great Britain responded to Napoleon with a series of orders-in-council requiring all neutral ships to obtain a licence before they could sail to Europe. Since the victory of Lord Nelson at Trafalgar (21 Oct 1805), Great Britain had the sea power to enforce its blockade. For some 20 years the Americans grappled with the problems of being a neutral nation in the great European war. Tensions mounted as the British began stopping American ships from trading in Europe. Even more vexing was the British practice of searching American vessels for "contraband" (defined by the British as goods that they declared illegal) and of searching for deserters who had fled the harsh conditions of the Royal Navy. Many of these deserters had taken jobs on American ships and American certificates of citizenship made no impression on the British. The final straw in this perceived British arrogance was the actions of British captains to impress (seize) native-born Americans and put them into service on British ships.
These maritime tensions exploded, literally, in 1807 off the shore of Chesapeake Bay. A British naval squadron was watching the area for French ships when several British sailors managed to desert and promptly to enlist in the American navy. The captain of the American 38-gun frigate Chesapeake knew that he had deserters on board when HMS Leopard tried to board and search his ship. When the Chesapeake refused to heave to, the 50-gun Leopard opened fire, killing three and injuring 18 of the crew. The British boarded and seized four men. This "Chesapeake Affair" outraged even temperate Americans. The actions of the British ship HMS Guerriere on 1 May 1811 in impressing an American sailor from a coastal vessel caused further tension.
This dispute over maritime rights might have been resolved with diplomacy (in fact the new government of Lord Liverpool rescinded the orders-in-council a few days before the US declared war, though the news hadn't yet reached America) but there were other interests at play among the Americans. Not all Americans wanted war with Great Britain, notably the merchants of New England and New York. President James Madison was intrigued by the analysis of Major General Dearborn that in the event of war, Canada would be easy pickings - that in fact an invasion would be welcomed by the Canadians. It was a war that had been loudly demanded by the "War Hawks," a group of Congressmen from the south and west, filled with Anglophobia and nationalism. These Republicans encouraged war as a means to retaliate against Britain for the economic distress caused by the blockade, but also for what they perceived as British machinations in encouraging the resistance of the First Nations to American expansion into the West.
On 1 June 1812, President Madison sent Congress a request for an immediate declaration of war. On 4 June Congress voted 79-49 in favour. On 17 June the Senate followed with approval 19 votes to 13, and on 18 June Madison signed a declaration of war against Great Britain.
Early Campaigns of the War of 1812
The British and Canadians were badly outnumbered by the Americans. As the Americans made their plans, it became obvious that their easiest objective would be Upper Canada. The Maritime provinces were protected by British sea power and Lower Canada was protected by its remoteness and by the fortress of Québec. But Upper Canada would seem an easy target. The population was predominantly American and the province was lightly defended.
However, the badly outnumbered British were in fact better prepared than the Americans knew. The 41st Regiment of British regulars had been reinforced. The Provincial Marine controlled Lake Ontario. Much of the preparation was thanks to the prescience of Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, administrator of Upper Canada. Brock had a thorough grasp of the challenges of the upcoming conflict and for the 8 months prior to the war he pushed forward defence measures in every possible way. Perhaps most importantly, Brock developed a policy towards making allies of the First Nations.
Like most commanders, Brock was dissatisfied by the number of troops at his disposal, with only some 1600 regulars in the province. But he was not prepared to simply wait passively for the Americans to act. He believed that a bold military stroke would galvanize the population and encourage the First Nations to come to his side. This he accomplished with the quick and bloodless capture of a key US post at Michilimackinac Island in Lake Huron, on 17 July. When he arrived at Amherstburg, Brock found that the American invasion under the bombastic General William Hull had already been withdrawn. With the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh at his side he boldly demanded that Hull surrender Detroit, which the hapless general did on 16 August, in effect giving the British control of Michigan territory and the Upper Mississippi.
At this point Thomas Jefferson's remark that the capture of Canada was "a mere matter of marching" returned to haunt Washington. Having lost one army at Detroit, the Americans lost another at Queenston Heights, 13 October, after their militia stood on its constitutional guarantee and refused to cross into Canada. But Brock was killed - an irreparable loss. A new American army under William Henry Harrison struggled up from Kentucky to try to retake Detroit. One wing was so badly mauled at Frenchtown, 22 Jan 1813, by a force of British, Canadians and First Nations under Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Procter, that further attempts at invasion that winter were abandoned. The only Americans in Canada were prisoners of war.
With the death of Brock, British strategy was to act defensively and allow the invaders to make mistakes. Governor Sir George Prevost husbanded his thin forces carefully, keeping a strong garrison at Québec and sending reinforcements only when he got them. As the campaign of 1813 opened, the invaders determined to seize Kingston to cut the link between Upper and Lower Canada. But a weakness of resolve diverted the attack to the lesser prize of York [Toronto]. The Americans briefly occupied the town, burning the public buildings and seizing valuable naval supplies destined for Lake Erie; but the British, by burning their half-completed warship, frustrated the enemy's plan to appropriate it and change the balance of naval power on Lake Ontario. Neither side totally controlled that lake for the balance of the war.
The Americans abandoned York and on 27 May 1813 their fleet seized Fort George at the mouth of the Niagara River. While this period was the bleakest of the war for the British, the military situation was not irretrievable. The Americans did not press the advantages of their success, particularly in not keeping General John Vincent and his army from Fort George on the run. On the night of 5 June 1813, Vincent's men turned on their pursuers at Stoney Creek. In a fierce battle the Americans were dislodged, had two generals captured and retired dispirited towards Niagara. The Americans suffered another defeat three weeks later at Beaver Dams, where some 600 men were captured by a force of First Nations. Finally, worn down by sickness, desertion, and the departure of short-term soldiers, the American command evacuated Fort George on 10 December and quit Canada. On leaving, the militia burned the town of Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake), an act that drove the British to brutal retaliation at Buffalo. These incendiary reprisals continued until Washington itself was burned by the British the following August.
The Western Campaigns of the War of 1812
The Americans fared better on the western flank. The British tried and failed to take Harrison's stronghold at Fort Meigs on the Maumee River. A struggle for control of Lake Erie (see War on the Lakes) followed. The two rival fleets, both built of green lumber on the spot, met 10 September 1813 at Put-In-Bay. The British were hampered by the American seizure of naval supplies at York the previous spring and by the loss, early in the battle, of several senior officers. American commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, a bold seaman, used unorthodox tactics to turn defeat into victory and become the first man in history to capture an entire British fleet.
The Americans gained dominance over the upper Great Lakes and Lake Erie became an American lake. Detroit was abandoned, and the British army retreated up the Thames River. Procter delayed fatally in his retreat, however, and Harrison caught up with him at Moraviantown (aka Battle of the Thames). There, the exhausted regulars and First Nations warriors were routed and scattered. Procter fled and Tecumseh was killed. The defeat was not fatal to the province, however, as Harrison could not follow up his victory (his Kentuckians were eager to get back to their farms at harvest time), but it effectively ended the First Nations alliance. On Lake Huron, units of the American fleet searched for British supply vessels, which led to the sinking of the Nancy, razed Sault Ste Marie on 21 July 1814 and attempted to recapture Fort Michilimackinac (see Battle of Mackinac Island). The British regained a presence on the lake in early September with the capture of the Tigress and Scorpion.
The Campaign in Lower Canada in the War of 1812
The Americans might have struck a mortal blow against Lower Canada, but their invading armies, which outnumbered the enemy 10-1, were led with almost incredible ineptitude by Generals James Wilkinson and Wade Hampton. A miscellaneous force of British regulars, Voltigeurs, militia and First Nations harassed the advancing Americans and turned the invasion back at Châteauguay under Lieutenant-Colonel Charles de Salaberry and at Crysler's Farm (near Morrisburg, Ont) on 11 November, under Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Wanton Morrison.
Last Invasion of Upper Canada, 1814
The following year, 1814, the Americans crossed the Niagara River at Buffalo, easily seized Fort Erie on 3 July, and turned back a rash attack by the British under General Phineas Riall at Chippawa on 5 July. The whole Niagara campaign came to a climax with the bitterest battle of the war, at Lundy's Lane on 25 July. Fought in the pitch dark of a sultry night by exhausted troops who could not tell friend from foe, it ended in stalemate. The American invasion was now effectively spent. They withdrew to Fort Erie. Here they badly trounced the forces of the new British commander, Lieutenant-General Gordon Drummond, when he attempted a night attack (14 - 15 Aug). With both sides exhausted, a 3-month standoff followed. Finally, on 5 November, the Americans again withdrew across the Niagara River, effectively ending the war in Upper Canada.
The 1814 Campaign in the East
On the Atlantic front, Nova Scotia Lieutenant-Governor Sir John Sherbrooke led a force from Halifax into Maine, capturing Castine on 1 September. By mid-month British forces held much of the Maine coast, which was returned to the US only with the signing of the peace treaty. The most formidable effort by the British in 1814 was the invasion of northern New York, which Governor Prevost led to Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain with 11 000 of Wellington's veterans. Prevost's hesitancy to attack - he was no Brock - together with the 11 September defeat of the hastily built British fleet in Plattsburgh Bay by the American commodore, Thomas Macdonough, caused Prevost to withdraw.
That single action by Prevost tipped the scales in favour of the Americans, forcing the British peace negotiators at Ghent to lower their demands and accept the status quo. Had Prevost succeeded, much of upper New York State might be Canadian today. On the other hand, if the Americans had won the battle of Stoney Creek, or had taken Montréal, much of Ontario and Québec - perhaps all - might now be under the Stars and Stripes.
The last battle of the war is often cited as the Battle of New Orleans, but that event was followed by another engagement on 11 Feb 1815 at Fort Bowyer on Mobile Bay, and by a number of naval engagements, including a battle between the US sloop Peacock and East India cruiser Nautilus in the Indian Ocean, four and a half months after the peace treaty was signed. That was the last battle.
Peace Treaty: The Treaty of Ghent
With no progress being made on the military front, President Madison eagerly accepted the offer of mediation from the Russian czar. Commissioners from both sides met at Ghent in August and on Christmas Eve 1814 a treaty was signed. All conquests were to be restored. The disputes over the boundaries were deferred to joint commissions.
Who Won or Lost the War of 1812?
Washington had expected the largely American population of Upper Canada to throw off the "British yoke" as soon as its army crossed the border. This did not happen. Lured northwards by free land and low taxes, the settlers wanted to be left alone. Thus the British and Loyalist elite were able to set Canadians on a different course from that of their former enemy. And the growing belief that they, the civilian soldiers, and not the First Nations and British regulars, had won the war - more mythic than real - helped to germinate the seeds of nationalism in the Canadas. Canada owes its present shape to negotiations that grew out of the peace, while the war itself - or the myths created by the war - gave Canadians their first sense of community and laid the foundation for their future nationhood. To this extent the Canadians were the real winners of the War of 1812.
For the Americans, the outcome was more ambiguous. Since the issues of impressment and maritime rights were not dealt with in the peace, that motivation for war could be considered a failure, despite some spectacular victories at sea, which were indicators of the future potential of American power. Also, the war was a failure for the "War Hawks," who coveted the annexation of Canada. This proved not to be militarily feasible. The conclusions that the war was a "second war of independence" or a war of honour and respect are less easy to judge.
If the winners are qualified, the losers are easier to identify. The death of Tecumseh and the defeat of the First Nations at the Battle of the Thames broke apart Tecumseh's confederacy. Similarly, in the related defeat of the Creek Nation, the hope of halting American expansion into First Nations territory effectively ended. While in Canada the First Nations fared better in preserving their land and culture, in the end the British abandoned their Aboriginal allies in the peace, just as they had several times before.

Schnuck Markets, Inc
Schnucks Pharmacies Discontinue Needle-Free Flu Shots
ST. LOUIS – Following new guidance issued by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advising against using injector devices to administer the flu vaccine, Schnucks Pharmacies have discontinued the use of needle-free flu shots at the 95 in-store pharmacies across five states.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that the inactivated influenza vaccines (a "shot") be given with a needle and syringe, unless the FDA vaccine labeling specifies otherwise. However, the CDC and FDA say it is not necessary for people who received their flu vaccine via jet injector to be re-vaccinated.
Schnucks pharmacies will continue to offer seasonal influenza vaccinations through traditional needle injections. These shots are available for $24.99. Medicare Part B is also accepted at all locations.
The full FDA statement can be found here:
Schnucks Pharmacy customers with questions should call the Schnucks flu shot hotline at 314-994-4000 or 1-888-920-SHOT (7468).
Founded in St. Louis in 1939, Schnuck Markets, Inc. operates 100 stores (including five Logli and seven Hilander stores) and 95 in-store pharmacies in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Contest organisers at the 6th stop on the 2013 ASP (Association of Surfing Professionals) Men's World Championship Tour are confident of starting the Air Tahiti Nui Billabong Trials at Teahupo'o, Tahiti tomorrow, with official event forecasters, Surfline, calling for a small/short-period SE swell.
The annual trials tournament decides the final two wildcard spots into the Billabong Pro with the elite field made up of 16 international invitees plus 16 local Tahitians, all reputed for their dedication to riding Teahupo'o and the world's most fearsome breaks.
Leading the charge for the locals is Teahupo'o heavyweight, Manoa Drollet. The 35 year-old from nearby Papara is a two-time trials winner (2005, 2007) and former main-event runner-up (2007). Thanks to countless inspiring performances at the location, he is considered a master of the break.
Brazilian Ricardo Dos Santos (BRA) heads the list of internationals invitees - the 23 year-old played the role of giant killer last year, becoming the first surfer to win the trials back-to-back. He then went on to eliminate Kelly Slater (Fl. USA) from Round 3 of the main event thanks to an incredible last-minute tube ride that had fans on the edge of their seats.
Mick Fanning (AUS), 32, defending Billabong Pro champion and current No. 1 on the ASP World Championship Tour ratings knows just how dangerous the wildcards can be.
"The Tahitian wildcards and trialists at Teahupo'o have done some real damage in the past," explains Fanning. "The locals are obviously psyched to see the Tahitians do well and they get out there in their boats and give them an incredible amount of support. Then there's the specialists – guys that generally spend a fair bit of time at Chopes. They're there a week before the trials and have already surfed a few heats out there before you come up against them, so they are completely in the zone and ready to go."
The successful trialists are ultimately pitted against the top seeds of the Billabong Pro main event; namely Fanning, current world ranked number two Kelly Slater (Florida, USA) and third ranked and reigning Men's ASP World Champion, Joel Parkinson (Gold Coast, Qld AUS).
The Air Tahiti Nui Billabong Trials window runs from August 10th – 12th, with just one day of competition required to find a winner.
Any media looking to register to attend the Billabong Pro, Tahiti or those who do not already receive event updates please share this link here.

Producer Survey Reveals Effort
One of the most important research projects conducted by Cotton Incorporated in 2008 may have been the implementation of its producer-directed Natural Resource Survey (NRS).
"Cotton farmers have always been good environmental stewards but with so much scrutiny being placed on product sustainability these days by manufacturers, brands and consumers, we had to support our supposition with concrete facts and figures," says Dr. Kater Hake, vice president, Agricultural Research, Cotton Incorporated.
"Producer responses received from the NRS will allow us not only to meet that goal but also use that information to shape future research projects."
Here are a few results from Cotton Incorporated's NRS.
More than 1,300 respondents representing 16 percent of acres in 17 cotton-producing states participated in the survey. Of those acres, 746,864 were non-irrigated while 636,429 had some form of irrigation.
"Texas had the highest number of respondents with 446 but all cotton-producing states were well represented in the survey relative to their state's production numbers," says Hake.
Of those producers with irrigation, 81 percent have made improvements to their irrigation systems over the last 10 years to 1) improve yield and 2) to improve water use efficiency.
"Producers know yield pays the bills, but investing time and money to improve their water-use efficiency sends a strong message that U.S. cotton producers clearly understand the importance of the world's No. 1 natural resource – water," says Hake.
Pivot/sprinkler systems are being used by 49 percent of respondents while 44 percent are using surface irrigation. Based on rainfall, irrigation and reported yield data, average water use efficiency was 67 pounds of lint per inch of water – up from 50 pounds per inch reported in 1990s literature.
Energy is the single largest culprit contributing to cotton's carbon footprint. When calculating energy needed for harvest and ginning (averaged across irrigated and non-irrigated acres), it takes an average of 7,655 BTUs to produce one pound of lint.
"A truly stunning statistic is that for each pound of lint, 1.5 pounds of cottonseed are produced with a gross energy content of 9,300 BTUs per pound," says Hake. "So, for each pound of lint, cotton provides 13,950 BTUs of positive energy through cottonseed."
Preserving Wildlife
Cotton farmers love and respect the outdoors. This was confirmed by the fact that 58 percent indicated they take at least one measure to improve wildlife habitat on their farms.
In the question, 'Have you noticed any changes to wildlife on your farm in the last ten years?', more than 60 percent say that bird population has increased, 62 percent say that beneficial insects have increased and an astounding 78 percent reported an increase in deer, beavers, porcupines, frogs, rabbits and foxes.
"Increases in wildlife don't just happen," says Hake. "Wildlife must have an environment that is conducive to population increases."
The NRS was the most all-encompassing, cotton producer survey ever implemented by Cotton Incorporated. It was anonymously conducted on-line and generated genuine responses.
"We will share more NRS information with the industry at the 2009 Beltwide Cotton Conferences and throughout the year," says Hake.
The Cotton Board, which administers the Cotton Research and Promotion Program conducted by Cotton Incorporated, provided information for this article.
• 1,300 producers participated.

text: State law bars cities from raising property taxes more than 1 percent per year, but the city of Blaine has what's called "banked capacity" because city officials have not raised property taxes for three years. Because of this banked capacity, city council could have voted to raise property taxes up to 4 percent for 2012, Lazenby explained. The city still has 2 percent in banked capacity that will roll over to the next fiscal year.

This is a full-face clutch, meaning there's friction material on the entire surface. Race clutches are described as being four-, six-, or eight-puck designs; these look like fan blades. The friction material on these race-only clutches is more substantial so less can be used, which lightens the clutch to speed the engagement process. The tradeoff is harsh engagement and chattering. A clutch's friction material and its disc configuration are where many compromises unfold.

Why Facebook Deserves a Spot in Your Portfolio
Howard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Not many stocks have divided investors as much as Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has. Those with bearish outlooks quickly point out the current limited money-making model, overvaluation, or that the EPS has declined ever since the IPO. Yet there are still strong believers in Facebook, and have been since day one. On Tuesday Facebook announced their new search engine, Graph Search, which CEO Mark Zuckerberg says is "the third pillar of Facebook, complementing News Feed and Timeline. Graph Search will allow users to ask real time questions to find friends and information within the Facebook universe." This is the first tool that Facebook has released that shows they are transforming the social media website with a new business model, and it now makes Facebook a buy.
A Few Fundamentals
Facebook is currently valued at a P/E of 154, a pretty steep price. Facebook's first quarter in December of 2011 posted revenue of $1.13 billion, and the latest earnings as of September 2012 are $1.26 billion. EPS, however, has steadily declined. In their first quarter EPS was $0.13, but in their latest quarter EPS has declined to $-0.02. The analysts are looking for a good fiscal year for Facebook in 2013, projecting $0.46 EPS. Currently they have a profit margin of 6.26%, $902 million in debt, and $1.4 billion in free cash flow. What this tells me is that Facebook is a company that is highly valued, increasing its revenue, continuing to grow, and has lots of cash available.
Why The Fundamentals Don't Matter
While the hard numbers of fundamentals are extremely useful investing tools, for a company like Facebook they do not tell the whole story. Facebook is a buy not because of the fundamentals, but because of the intangibles they possess. Facebook is a company with huge potential in front of it, and fundamentals like P/E are not as important because no one know exactly how to value a social networking business. But even so, we do know that Facebook has built upon websites before it like MySpace and was able to make it into a profitable business where other websites did not.
Because of that, Facebook is almost unrivaled in competition, with its biggest competitor being LinkedIn (NYSE: LNKD), the popular networking site for job employers, recruiters, and job seekers. While the two may not be the same concept, Facebook should be looking into tapping into its massive user base to connect potential employees and employers. This is just one example of the many ways Facebook can expand to a business that does not just rely on ad revenue. Even though some say that the IPO of Facebook was a failure, they still managed to raise billions of dollars. This large amount of money is just waiting to be used to finance new business ideas (Facebook phone?) and to buy up smaller companies like we saw with the buyout of Instagram. We may have just seen the adding to the Facebook arsenal this week with what is essentially a "Facebook search engine."
Of course driving all of this is the founder of Facebook, CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg is not the prototypical CEO that we see in blue chip companies, but a young innovative CEO who has built his company from the ground up and has his sights set higher. Facebook has been able to continue growing with models like "Gifts." Gifts allow users to purchase a gift for friends online, and the gift will then be posted on their wall and shipped in the mail. Gifts gives Facebook access to the over-$30 billion a year market of online gifts. Even if they charge 10% of revenue for selling products, gifts could easily out-earn their revenue per user from ads, which is $4.34 per global user and $9.51 per US user. With Facebook being such a large market, retailers may be glad to pay more than 10% of revenue just for the added exposure. Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is an example of the potential upside that the gifts service could provide. Amazon currently has 100,000,000 active accounts on their website, and the company brings in $54 million in revenue per day. While becoming a new Amazon is a long shot for Facebook, Gifts easy, almost one-click way of buying shipping, and notifying friends of their gifts could be a simple alternative for shoppers. While it is too early to tell how Gifts will sell, we do know that Facebook has access to a potential customer base of 1 billion people; thats 14% of the population and 10 times larger than Amazon's active accounts.
My Conclusion
The way I see it, Facebook has enormous potential to grow and become the king of the internet. People love posting information on Facebook and companies love getting their hands on that information, generating Facebook ad revenues of $4 per user worldwide. If Facebook can successfully set up a "Facebook mall" we could be looking at a company that could have a fighting chance of taking on the internet retail giant that is Amazon. Whether or not Facebook could become this combination of social media and Amazon, only time will tell; but the only way to profit is to buy now.

Funeral hearse drops coffin in the middle of the road!
This happened a couple of weeks ago and the images hit the local inboxes faster than you can say "I love you"! It happened in Albury on the 21st August when the John Hossack Funeral Services driver forgot to close the back door of the hearse, unceremoniously dropping their cargo onto the intersection of Young and Smollett streets. The local media didn't publish the photo's out of respect, but I don't think there is anything identifiable in the images… so here are some of them, as you can see from the different angles, a few passerby's had the quick instinct to photograph the scene!

SPOKANE--The shooting at Columbine was the starting point for active shooter training for law enforcement in Spokane County.
Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich says Spokane County played a role in creating plans and if a shooting was to happen here we'd be ready.
Law enforcement calls scenes like Colorado's movie theater massacre an "active shooter" situation. It's where a suspect is armed and wreaking havoc. The need for active shooter training became apparent after the Columbine school shooting, which happened not far from Friday's shooting.
It's training they practice annually, because active shooter scenarios can happen anywhere. Most recently two Spokane County deputies were shot while pulling over a wanted suspect. A student made threats with a loaded gun at Lewis and Clark High School in 2005.
After the scene is cleared, law enforcement uses active shooter incidents to prepare for the next. They identify each and every place there was a weakness throughout the system.
The sheriff says it's still too early, but at some point they will review the Colorado shooting as well to see if there's anywhere improvements could be made for active shooter responses.

Early Childhood Education Careers
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that job opportunities in the education field will grow in the years to come due to a larger number of children and adults seeking education opportunities and increased retirements. This growth is expected to be larger at the elementary (grades 1-5) and middle school (grades 6-8) levels. In addition, reforms, such as universal preschool and all-day kindergarten, will require more preschool and kindergarten teachers as well.
As an early childhood education major at Mount Union, you will be able fulfill this growing need with preparation for teaching at the prekindergarten through grade three level. You will be primed to specialize in early child growth and development and to secure the reading endorsement.
The Department of Education is geared toward assisting candidates in obtaining a teaching appointment. A major or minor in education provides an excellent foundation for careers in a number of areas, including:
- Schools
- Child care centers
- Youth ministry
- Colleges
- Coaching
- Human services professions
- Corporate training

The latest Powerball jackpot is estimated at $400 million, and it's considered the nation's fifth-largest ever. Here are some things to keep in mind ahead of Wednesday night's drawing.1. THE ODDSRemember, a person's odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 175 million. That's how many combinations are possible with the game's five white balls and one red ball. In this case, there have been 11 drawings since August 10 without a winner.2. BIG JACKPOTSA major revamp in January 2012 increased the cost of a Powerball ticket from $1 to $2. It also led to larger jackpots in smaller amounts of time. Of the top 10 Powerball jackpots of all time, nearly half have been recorded after the game change.3. CONSOLATION PRIZESince the revamp, a secondary $1 million prize has made some losers happy anyway. More than 730 people have won $1 million, and more than 120 people have won $2 million through the Power Play option.4. WHY WAIT FOR THE HYPE?There's technically no need to wait for a larger jackpot. Whether the jackpot is $40 million or $400 million, your odds of winning the top prize are the same. Whether you buy 1 ticket or 10 tickets, your odds are pretty much the same. A higher jackpot just means there's a higher chance there will be more than one winning ticket.5. SOMEONE IS GOING TO WINThe chance of a person's combination being selected remains astronomically high, though the chance that some set of six numbers will be selected is 1. That means even though your chances of winning are slim, the chances that someone else will win are high. Ronald Wasserstein, executive director of the American Statistical Association, said that's what makes people think it could be them. When it's probably not.6. AGAIN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WINRemember, you're probably not going to win. Wasserstein said it's hard for people to grasp how small their chances actually are, since no one can really see 175 million of anything. Wasserstein tries to break it down. Take 175 million one-dollar bills and lay them out. Pick one lucky dollar bill that will win you all $175 million. You can line up those dollar bills twice along the edges of the continental United States. Or you can cover 380 football fields. Imagine picking the one lucky dollar bill from those fields, and that's your chance of winning the Powerball jackpot on a single ticket.

Topic - Avalanches in Sneachda
wheelsucker - on 02 Feb 2013
There were two small avalanches today (2.2.13) near to the Fiacall Buttress. One was near to Fiacall Couloir which injured two climbers. They managed to walk themselves off with minor injuries.
The second occurred on the snow slope to the right of the buttress about 150 below the Fiacall ridge. Three members of a party who were all wearing helmets triggered a small avalanche which carried them 150-200 meters overs rocky terrain. All 3 sustained lower leg injuries. One had a broken leg.
All three were quickly treated by members of Strathclyde Police MRT who were training nearby. They were joined by a couple of MIC's who were working on the hill along with Cairngorm Ski Patrol, Glenmore Lodge MRT and some climbers.
All three were airlifted off th hill so all in all a great team effort from those involved.

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) -- Guinean authorities have banned an opposition party protest planned for Thursday so it doesn't disrupt a visit by FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
Sekou Resco Camara, the governer of Conakry, says the march won't be allowed in the capital as "we cannot accept that a visit of such importance is disrupted."
Camara says the Guinean Football Federation made the request to ensure "a warm welcome" for the head of world football. A spokesman says security forces will be deployed on the streets of Conakry to prevent any protests.
Blatter will make a two-day visit to Guinea as part of a four-country tour of Africa. He also visits Mauritania and Botswana and ends his trip in South Africa to attend Sunday's African Cup of Nations final in Johannesburg.
