Protocol in Practice
Table of Precedence
The Table of Precedence is the established order of people for official functions and events. Although the basic order has been long established, the table evolves over time to incorporate the recognition of more diverse groups in our society.
The table establishes the seating plan and the order of introduction, speeches and official toasts. Each year, Protocol and Honours plans a large number of official functions, relying on the Table of Precedence for guidance.

The Grand Jury in Raleigh County had some serious cases to review for the May term. The indictments were handed out on Wednesday.
There were 89 people indicted on a variety of charges from First Degree Murder and Death of a Child by Child Abuse to Burglary and Fraud. Nearly a third of the total indictments were directly drug related. Among those were charges of selling Oxycodone and Marijuana. There was even one person, Augusta Blanchard, who was indicted on a charge of Delivering a Counterfeit Controlled Substance.
Among the most visible cases was that of James Green and Brandy Smallwood. They are accused in the death of Smallwood's two-year-old boy. Green was indicted on charges of First Degree Murder, Death of a Child by Child Abuse and Child Neglect Resulting in Death as well as several other charges. Smallwood was indicted on charges of Death of a Child by Child Abuse and Child Neglect Resulting in Death as well as several other charges. Smallwood's child died back in February at their home in Fairdale. 59News found out that Smallwood and Green had been married just hours before the incident where the child died.
In another Child Abuse case, Joseph Hailey was indicted on charges of Child Abuse with Serious Risk of Bodily Injury or Death and False Information Regarding Child's Injuries. The incident happened in June 2012. An investigation was opened after an infant was admitted to Raleigh General Hospital with a fractured skull and internal bleeding. The child did recover.
Three men were indicted on charges related to a murder case out of Sprague that happened in November 2012. Dominic Paige and Lavonte Paige were indicted on charges of First Degree Murder in the death of Danny Kennedy. A third man, Antonio Wade, was indicted on a Felon in Possession of a Firearm charge. The three men apparently got stuck in Kennedy's driveway on Cohen Street while turning around. That lead to an argument where Kennedy was shot and killed.
Randy Jennings was indicted on charges of Attempted Murder, Malicious Wounding and Conspiracy. Those charges come from a stabbing that happened in broad daylight on Neville Street in Beckley. Jennings apparently stabbed Jamie Clay several times then ran off. Beckley Police tracked him down 30 minutes later.
Another stabbing, this one in Cool Ridge, lead to a Malicious Wounding indictment against Ronnie Ransom, Jr. Ransom allegedly stabbed Douglas Mills at PJ's bar in April 2012.
A man accused of beating up an 89-year-old man was indicted by the Grand Jury on charges of Malicious Wounding, Violent Crimes against the Elderly and Conspiracy. Bryan Bolt is accused of attacking the man in his own home in March.
Two robbery cases that involved a police chase were also heard by the Grand Jury.
Carlos Burnside was indicted on charges of First Degree Robbery, Fleeing in a Vehicle and Battery on a Police Officer among other charges. Burnside allegedly robbed a pair of convenience stores then lead police on a high speed chase that ended when he crashed his car into the Rising Star Child Care on South Kanawha Street in Beckley.
Christopher Lovelace was indicted for First Degree Robbery, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and Fleeing a Police Officer. He was featured in the 59News Fugitive File back in November 2012.
The indictments were divided into three groups, depending on which Judge the suspects would be seen in front of. Judge Kirkpatrick starts things off at 9 a.m. on May 28. Suspects answering indictment in front of Judge Burnside will be seen at 11 a.m. and Judge Hutchinson will see suspects at 1:30 p.m. All those who are being held in jail will be seen at 9 a.m. A complete list of the indictments can be viewed at the link to the right.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
In the very center of Duskwood stands one of the four World Trees, complete with a portal to the Emerald Dream...faithfully guarded by a very powerful member of the Green Dragonflight.
The Guardians of the four Portals are all slowly going mad, so who knows what sort of powerful and evil emanations have been permeating Duskwood.
The Emerald Dream itself is being attacked and slowly corrupted by 'the Nightmare'... I don't think Karazhan is the source of Duskwoods troubles. Not with a deranged demi-god Dragon taking up residence within a stones throw of the town and most of the Zone.
Well, you could argue whether or not Duskwood's current visual issues are caused by the Emerald Dream gate in the center, but it's pretty common fact that the area was changed greatly by Deadwind Pass and the events in Karazhan. First there was the noble slaughter, then there was the Dark Riders killing Sven's family...then the whole mess with Stalvan and Morgan Ladimore...
Really, the entire area was cursed with a plague of darkness. I'm sure the gate isn't exactly helping things, but I don't think you can point all the troubles of the zone on just there.
Anyway, I just went through this questline on my first Alliance character I pay attention to. Very fun little questline, and it makes me wish there were more like it. Not more tragedy persay, but more along the lines of being a detective. In the end, your character was searching for clues over the questline, trying to figure it all out, the feeling of impending doom coming due to those ghosts and all.
Makes me want to find out if there is actually a Detective outfit in WoW right now. Bubble corn pipe included.

Ok ladies and gents, I've spent now the best part of 3 hours reading just about everything I can stand by apple and multiple other forums about how to setup what I want, and the majority is either out of date, unhelpful, or just so full of waffle that it was of no use.
I'm hoping someone here can assist, and in which case I'll help in writing up a new guide on what to do/how to do it in one place without, as one place put:
"If you don't know what this is, then your probably out of your depth anyway."
(yeah, a guide actually told me that.....)
-Windows 2003 Domain (1x 2k3 server + 1x 2k8r2) both running in 2003 mode, forest domain = 2003 mode.
-NAS raid box (Buffalo Terrastation) connected via iSCSI to the 2k3 box, hosting all shares including user and data shares.
-Cisco networking gear: Cisco switches and wireless controller (vlans for server, curriculum pc's, and wireless. Also an admin vlan, hoping to decom that soon)
-Windows workstations (mixes of XP, Vista and Windows 7. Considering/hoping to roll up to windows 7 on all machines within the next 18 months.)
-Brand new Mac Mini server running Lion OS X + Server App
-16x Macbook Pro's running Lion OS X
-20 Ipad 2's running iOS 5
-30+ Ipad 1's running iOS 5
What I want:
-For users of the windows domain to be able to logon to any machine, windows or mac alike.
-File shares on the NAS to be accessible by both mac's and windows machines alike.
-Network based User home directories/profiles.
-Shared printing (might have some compatibility issues with the large network copier/printer monstrocity and the apple gear, don't know yet)
-Management of Mac images + Ipad layouts and Apps for both devices centrally from the Mac server.
-(optional) considering using the mac server for handling a new email, calendar and ideally collaboration/web file access system, but not sure how the hell it works, never used it before, no idea what it does frankly. This would need to be completely open to multiple platforms and devices.
My initial thought, was to run the apple's in their own domain, and simply setup a trust between them for sharing login's/printing/file shares. This isn't as straight forward as I had hoped, as there seems to be 8,000 different ways of connecting open directory to AD and the configuration of user profiles to go with it.
From what I can tell, this is basically the magic triangle layout, which I have no idea if it's still valid; everything I can find on this setup seems to refer to OSX 10.4/10.5/10.6, and have not yet found anything that actually says how to do it in 10.7, or if 10.6 works the same way, what are the differences etc etc.
I've also read about issues with the '.local' domain extension, which I've currently got setup on my windows domain.
I'm pretty good with MS side of things, I know my way around AD pretty well (I've done the MCTS on it, and found it a little boring in the most part having done a lot of it just from working with AD for 6+ years). I can even get around linux if I keep a guide handy on a few of the commands (too many years of using dos commands, I get mixed up).
But I'm afraid I'm a complete novice at Apple, no idea really what it or I can do and cannot at the server/config side, though I have used MAC's as an end abuser a few times.
If you have some guides that would help here, please link them.
So far I've found these that help to varying degree's:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/...dmin_v10.6.pdf (ok but waffles a lot, it's more like a thesis on server admin than a guide on how to use it.)
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/...dmin_v10.6.pdf (similar to above, a bit waffly, but some good info here if you are technical enough. You pretty much have to read it all, you can't really skip to later points as I kept being referenced to earlier bits)
http://help.apple.com/advancedserveradmin/mac/10.7/# (similar to the above stuff, but less waffly, still not quite a guide, but shows examples and takes you through the layouts and the different services clearly)
Apple Magic Triangle Setup with Windows File Server backed Portable Home Directories. | Copious Communications (magic triangle setup. Assumes higher than normal technical knowledge, and frankly unhelpful on a few places where it skips over stages that can cause confusion)
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/...mage_v10.6.pdf (not read this through yet, but suspect it's similar to above with a lot of waffle to tell not a lot)
If you can assist with any of this, tips, tricks, suggestions etc please do.
I am heavily documenting everything I do here, so will write up anything I do and hopefully produce a proper guide at the end.

Quick announcement: I have a handful of signed Visualize This copies available in case you're looking for a gift for that data geek cousin or you're up for some learning over the holidays. I only have a limited supply, so grab a copy before they're gone. And of course, you can still get an untarnished version at the major booksellers.
Visualize This: Signed copies available
Visualize This: Price Fluctuations
It's been about three months since Visualize This came out, and in case you haven't gotten your hands on a copy yet, now might be a good time to get it. Amazon just lowered the price.
I didn't know price changed so much — although I'm not surprised — I'm guessing based on a number of factors such as third-party prices, competitors' prices, and sales. The Kindle version (not shown) changed a lot in the beginning, costing more than the paperback, but I don't think it's changed since it came down to the current price. You can see the changes, as reported by price tracking site Tracktor (just try to ignore the weird vertical scale).
The used price is not completely accurate since there weren't any used copies available before the book was released in July.
Also, I'm not entirely sure about the listings for used books on Amazon, as all of them are from resellers with thousands of ratings. Four copies are listed for above retail, and one of those is more than four times as much. That expensive copy must be a special edition that I haven't heard about.
Visualize This: eBook formats and sample chapter
Last week I announced the release of Visualize This: The FlowingData Guide to Design, Visualization, and Statistics, and I have to admit: I was addicted to the listing on Amazon, which shows sales rank, that day. At its peak, it broke the Amazon overall top 100, all the way up to #77. Of course the dust has settled, but it's still been doing well. I can't thank you all enough for the support.
Continue Reading
Visualize This: Preview
Some little birds told me that they received their "coming soon" notifications from Amazon about Visualize This. Exciting. (Thanks, pre-orderees :). I just got the PDF of the book not too long ago, but I can't wait to get the physical copy resting in my hands. Paper! In anticipation of the upcoming release, I've posted some previews of what you can expect.
Continue Reading
Visualize This: Brainstorming book ideas
When I first got the opportunity to write a book, I was excited about it, and then I had to figure out what I was going to write about. Data visualization, obviously, but what about it? I was all over the place, and my early ideas are actually nothing like what Visualize This is now.
Continue Reading
Visualize This: From my editor
Thanks for yet another very enjoyable chapter. If I had known statistics would be like this, I would have actually taken classes.
This is from my editor for Visualize This. (She's in charged of making sure my grammar doesn't suck and my words flow like melted butter.) I can't remember the last time—if ever—I told someone I'm in graduate school for statistics and they didn't groan about how they hated it in high school and/or college. So you can imagine my delight when I read this. I think I'm on to something here.
FlowingData book in the works
You read that right. There's going to be a FlowingData book, published by the fine folks at Wiley. With all the books out there about design methods and best type of graph to do this and that, I thought it was time for a guide on how to actually put all that into practice.
When I first started getting into data graphics, I read all the books I could about good design with data. But when it came time to actually make something, I was lost. I had no clue how to use the software that was available to me. So all that other stuff I read was pretty worthless, just sitting there in my brain. This book will help you with that part.
Think lots of tutorials that take you from start to finish and teach you not just the what, but also the how.
More updates to come.

Oh moms. Just when you think you've heard it all, someone sets up an Etsy shop and starts selling "breast milk jewelry" made out of moms' own boob juice. And you thought the mom who couldn't throw out her baby girl's umbilical stump was clinging a little too tightly to her memories? You ain't seen nothing yet!
Apparently there exists a whole subculture of mothers who need wearable evidence of the fact that they breastfed. And Mommy Milk is happy to cater to them for the low, low price of $64 (that's on the low end, you can go up to $125 for something truly fancy).
The shop is run by a mom who named Allicia who says "breastfeeding is one of the hardest yet most rewarding things I've ever had to do." She takes the milk, encases it in resin, and creates a Breast Milk Bead™ (yes, she has trademarked it).
Some folks around the web are calling the breast milk jewelry disgusting. I won't go there. It's breast milk, y'all! Kids drink it. Snooki takes shots of it. It's not like they're saving baby poop ... wait, maybe I shouldn't give anyone ideas.
Because that's the real problem here, isn't it? The obsession with saving EVERYTHING from childhood.
Moms save the first lock of hair, the first pair of shoes, the coming home outfit, the baby teeth ... and now their breast milk. Where is it going to end? As the mother of a 7-year-old, I have to warn you, if you can't rein in your "gotta keep it" mentality now, you're going to be truly screwed come kindergarten when they bring home a new art project or worksheet (or 12) EVERY DAY.
So let's lay off saving the breast milk, shall we? You don't need a necklace to prove your mams made milk. You'll have a beautiful little person running around as proof enough that they had good nutrition in the early days.
If the money is really burning a hole in your pocket, here's an idea -- hire a local photographer to capture those bodacious breastfeeding boobs in some boudoir shots. Now that's a memento worth hanging on to!
Would you get your breast milk preserved in jewelry? Where would you wear it?
Image via Mommy Milk
I really like this idea! Breastfeeding was something I'm proud of, I'd love to have a keepsake of that.
I think it's weird and I breastfed but I would never know that was breastmilk. It's actually a cool necklace. haha I wouldn't want one, though. I have a picture of me nursing my baby that I can look at when I feel like reminiscing about my daughter being itty bitty again. As for the keepsakes, I put my daughter's things in a shadow box frame. <3 Such an amazing way to display them and keep them safe.
Some moms must think producing milk is like some super power. People are so stupid.
Either way I bet she's more busy now because of this article! Maybe you'll get a free bee!
I would not buy it.
I just got to applaud her for having an original idea for a business. This may not be something I am interested in, but there got to be lots of women out there who are. She found a market.
I think it's pretty cool.I'd get one if I had some extra money laying around.
Lol no! So silly!
I have all the proof that I need that I breast fed. Three beautiful healthy daughters ages 21, 19, and 16. I don't need a badge of honor saying that I did it.

Categories > Original > Fantasy > five six six
chap 20 Reviews
okay, i suck at summarys. Anyway, five six six has to get ready. And as she does, she remebers the boy from so long ago...
I dug in the square whole in the wall on the left side of my bed, they called it our cupboard. I took everything out of my closet, just a few pairs of close and spread them out on the thin gray sheets of the bed. Carp was weighing down the corner on the right, watching me with sad eyes. For the first time while being alone with Carp, the silence was eating at my mind so badly, I couldn't think. I tried to break it. "Which one should I pack?" I asked. My hands nested on the gun and knife holder on both hips of the leather shorts, smooth yet ruff to the touch.
He gave me a quizzed look, and then realized what I was asking about.
"I'm not sure, what is more comfortable AND can hold the most weapons without being a pain?" "Well then, I'll where this one I suppose…but I need one more…" "Something that'll make you blend in with the crowd in the day time would be a good idea." I could see Carp eyeing all my closes on the bed with a dissatisfied and slightly disapproving look.
"Nothing would work for that, anymore close in the cupboard?" I nodded, and he sighed. "Well, there's not much-Wait!" He said, perking. "Fallow me, I have an idea…"
As we walked down the white marble hallways, Carp was terribly silent, but he had a look of determination on his face. I was on my senses, last time Carp was this way and the time we were walking around this section was about 3 months ago…
I kept looking from Carp to Maren, both looking determent and I had no idea as to why. We came to 3 different French metal doors; Carp opened them by sliding his card into the system. Maren and he smirked. I got suspicious. Carp looked to me and he switched to a stony face.
Maren couldn't hold it any longer. She bursted as she was about to enter the room and my eyes widened with fear as I looked inside.
/"OH MY GOSH! I CAN NOT BEILEVE WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO DO!!!" I tried to run as Maren screamed while jumping up. But Carp grabbed me around the waist, flung me over his shoulder upside down. "Quite squirming or we'll make you wear the pink fluffy dress the whole time." I squeaked quickly then piped down. The room was about 50 by 68 feet, with racks of closes in more than ¾ of the room, the other part was weapon holders for under the civil close to look as if none were under them. The point was to seem less likely to know how to assassin a person in over 600 ways to everyone around you, and not drag attention to your self.
Seeing as I was to go to a high school about a week before the prom to protect a boy from being assassin because his father hadn't keep to the bet, he was believed to be targeted at the prom so I had to be dressed for it. /
The mission was completed with great ease, and it hadn't been hard finding a boy to go with, either, because I had gotten asked out by half the football team, and about 33 other boys, but one had been in my interest the whole time..., and I got my first kiss, now that I think about it, he gave me his phone number and I promised him I'd call him back…
"Hey, you paying attention cause I'll pick your close out for you if I have to." I looked at him in horror. "Hey, I have pretty good taste." I rolled my eyes as we came to the metal doors. "Now keep in mind, you will pretend to be a 15 or 16 year old girl from New York, so dress like a regular girl…you might wear make up to blend in some, since you'll be heading to Holly Wood first, you should remember last time, when you were protecting the boy and your first date with the other kid…" As I remembered, I thought maybe I might say hi to him if I get to stop by… "Since you were already there we have to put the green streaks in your hair again and the blue contacts, in case someone recognizes you from then because you'll be in the same area, so we'll use the same id card as well." It's all to perfect…. "So I'll be helping you pick out your close, and so will Maren." Take that back.
Walking in side I was greeted with a huge hug from Maren. Her bob cut blonde hair brushing against my cheek. "How are you dear? Excited?" I nodded. "But I'd be more excited if I could breathe…" "Ops, sorry!" She said, smiling sheepishly, as she stepped back I looked at her out fit, she probly just got out of her helicopter, her job is to control helicopters for assassin missions. Carp does helicopters too, but for protection missions.
"How many Megsatone injections have you had since last time?" "Two." "Okay, we need to measure you again then."
After Maren measured me, she said I was a size 1 in bottoms, but I had to make sure they were long enough for my now 5'7 frame, one inch more then the last time. I was going to need a medium for tops, Maren keep saying I looked like a model, except with a little more, she said that ment I reacted well to Megsatone, except how my hair was not it natural curly dark brown as it was the first time I came here, which I always thought my hair was naturally the thick, straight, and snowy white it was today. She also said my pale skin had taken to a pale tan, which I didn't know either. She wasn't as worry about that though. I never got to ask what a model was, because right as we got to the 1 size, she told me to look for something that sparked my interest.
As I took time to take everything in this time, I noticed the room had a tingly sweet smell to it, almost like cotton candy. Maren came running up to me, with a pile of close in her hand.
I turned to her, and she pulled out a dark jean mini-skirt, on the sides were silver zippers that could be zipped up, or zipped down to cover more skin. It had skinny blue X's sown on the bottom of the skirt. She showed me black knee combat boots with buckles on the side.
"The thick sols are removable so you can fit a small gun and a thin pocket knife in each one. And…" She trailed off; showing me a tight black t-shirt with a red rib cage on it, under it was a baggy long sleeved shirt with green and black stripes. "It is in the range of what you wore last time in Holly Wood, and the sleeves are baggy enough that on the upper-arm under it, you could slip your down-size knifes. And you only have to wear these during the day, so we don't have to worry about fighting in comfort to much." I nodded and took the close, trying to get out of the room soon before Carp came running to me with some lame girly clothes. "Great!" She said smiling.
On the way back to section 5 where my room was and 4 sections from the clothes filled room, Carp had to leave to fill out some reports. Maren was walking with me in comfortable silence. Until I broke it. "Maren?" "Yes dear?" "Do...you…um…well, If I could…would you let…me, um, use your phone?" I finished the last part as fast as I could. "Of course, I wouldn't mind." She handed me her phone, which I wasn't familiar with. "Here, tell me the number and I'll type it in." She typed in the number and handed me back her phone. "Wait here, I have to pick up some papers from the Office." She said as she went threw an indented see-threw door, I leaned on the wall next to the door. Someone picked up the phone.
"Hey Chase."
"Carmen?" He blurted out with a huge amount of excitement.
"Heh Heh, long time no talk, right?"
Ohhhhh, she can be a loser talking on the phone, lol. Reveriw, rate, comment. bla bla bla

Did you "enable" or "Disable" where you select the path?
hi ..
i have a problem with my Chinese GPS ..
My problem is that it does not remember the path of igo8..
if i turn the unit of an on it ask me to specify the path..
its weird because all the other settings are remembered (fm presets, Bluetooth etc ...) just not the path....
any Ideas ?
Did you "enable" or "Disable" where you select the path?
what do u mean enable /disable it asks for the path i select the igo.exe from sdcard and press ok and it loads up fine....
but when i turn the car off and on again it asks for the same thing
On the main menu, when you select Navi, it's show another screen for you select the path from the card, under where you select the path, it has small circil or square, if you click there ,it show black spot or stick mean enable, anytime you turn on, device jump up to navi, and the Igo folder on sys.txt, did you put this line on:
app="//SDMMC/iGO8/iGO8.exe" SDMMC, SD card, Storage card
mine does not have that square i have the older version its a kovan 6110
If your device English version, put autorun.exe on the card, run windows explore , check config folder on nandflash or residenflash2, you can edit and add in there, but do not DELETE. If you know how to do that.
yes my device is english......
can you please describe in a bit more detail.....
Did the unit has reset button, why don't u try soft or hardware reset first, see how it going, before edit the internal flash.
Edit actually it does have a reset hole but not sure where it is located....

Solid-State Drives (SSDs) are one of the fastest storage devices in the world and an increasing proportion of high-end machines are being equipped with SSDs. But how do your applications benefit from SSDs? How can you make SSDs cost effective? Let us first better understand what makes a good SSD.
SSDs are the preferred storage devices when it comes to performance. What makes a good SSD? Let's look closer at the components inside an SSD.
SSDs are data storage devices that use solid-state memory. An SSD is composed of three main components: a controller, DRAM and NAND flash (SLC or MLC). Speed and reliability are two important features of SSDs. What determines the performance of an SSD? Which SSDs have the best performance?
Figure 1: Key components of an SSD
The following are key factors that determine the performance of an SSD:
1. Host Interface
The interface limits the bandwidth. There are several common interfaces currently on the market: SATA 6 Gb/s, SATA 3 Gb/s, PATA (IDE), USB 3.0, and USB 2.0. The maximum theoretical speeds of these interfaces are compared in Table 1 below:
SSDs equipped with a PATA interface have maximum read/write performance not exceeding 133MB/s, and have already been phased out of the market in favor of SATA. One of the most popular SSD controllers on the market supporting SATA 3 Gb/s is the JMicron JMF61x series which is equipped with both SATA and USB interfaces. The JMF61x offers up to 250MB/s sequential read using the SATA 3Gb/s interface, but only 30 MB/s using the USB 2.0 interface. The USB is generally used for external enclosures. All drives with a USB 2.0 interface have maximum read/write speeds of 30 MB/s. The new USB 3.0 standard allows external enclosures to breakthrough the bottleneck of USB 2.0, but it will still limit SSD speed performance due to the need for a SATA to USB 3.0 bridge.
If you are planning to buy a fast SSD, choosing right interface, namely SATA 6 Gb/s, is the first step. All ADLINK SSDs feature the SATA 6 Gb/s interface and offer sequential read speed up to 420MB/s. The best choice for performance intensive applications is to connect a SATA 6 Gb/s SSD directly to a SATA 6 Gb/s port.
2. Controller
In an SSD, the controller handles jobs including flash program/erase, host interface communication and ECC memory functions. Powerful controllers can provide good performance and ECC support with the help of good firmware. There are many SATA 3 Gb/s controllers available on the market, but only a few SATA 6 Gb/s controllers. The Marvell 88SS9174 was the first SATA 6 Gb/s SSD controller on the market and it has been well adopted by major SSD manufacturers such as Intel and Crucial. Recently, SandForce introduced the newest SATA 6 Gb/s SSD controller on the market in Q2, 2011 and some SSD makers began sampling in Q3, 2011. The SandForce controller has been adopted by many consumer SSD manufacturers such as OCZ and Memoright.
An SSD equipped with a SATA 6 Gb/s controller and fast NAND flash can provide superior performance compared to one with a SATA 3 Gb/s controller. Selecting a powerful controller with the right flash configuration can ensure your SSD has high performance.
3. Flash
The type of flash used in an SSD is also a key factor in determining its performance. Single-level cell (SLC) flash is faster than multi-level cell (MLC) flash; Toggle Mode NAND flash (a new interface introduced by Samsung and Toshiba) is faster than legacy interface NAND.
Though MLC is a newer technology, the program/erase speed of SLC flash is faster than that of MLC flash. Also, SLC flash has a longer lifetime than MLC flash. With the improvement of the NAND flash interface from legacy mode to Toggle Mode or ONFI 2.0 (Open NAND Flash Interface), the speed of a single flash chip has almost doubled. If an SSD is intended for high performance applications, Toggle/ONFI 2.0 interface flash is a better choice for meeting the requirement. If the application is focused on both performance and heavy workload, then a Toggle Mode SLC SSD is the best choice. If the workload of the application is less intensive, then a Toggle Mode MLC SSD would be a cost effective solution.
Figure 2, Comparison of NAND flash frequencies
4. Firmware
The last important factor determining an SSD's performance is the firmware. All important functions and features of an SSD are implemented and supported by the firmware, such as garbage collection, over-provisioning, secure erase, TRIM commands, wear leveling and write amplification. The firmware plays an important role in maximizing compatibility with the host and will significantly affect the performance under different SATA interface modes (IDE compatible, AHCI, or RAID).
What is required in good SSD firmware? The firmware needs to be able to adapt to meet the needs of different applications, and read/write performance should be consistent whether the drives are new or have been used extensively. Good firmware will result in a smooth benchmark curve using a program like HD Tune, rather than an undesirable spiky one.
How can we make effective use of the high expense of SSDs? Choosing the right model that is suited to your application is very important. Let's examine the cost first.
1. Per GB cost
Even though memory densities have increased greatly, the per GB price of HDD ($0.05~$0.10) is still much lower than the per GB price of SSDs ($1.20~$2.20). The price gap continues to decrease, but will not disappear in the short term. SSDs play a key role in meeting the performance demands of specific applications, so it is important to make your investment in SSD effective.
As was described earlier, SSDs consist of flash memory, a controller and DRAM. The materials cost of SSDs exclusive of flash is almost the same on models with different capacity in the same series. The proportion of the selling price of the non-flash components for a 64GB SSD is around 30%, for a 128GB SSD is 14% and for a 256GB SSD is under 10%. So the lower the capacity of the SSD, the higher the proportion of cost of per GB of the non-flash components. In addition, the lifetime of an SSD is at least 3 years, so it is important to consider the storage capacity demand of the application 3 to 5 years in the future. It is recommended to buy the largest capacity SSD your budget allows for these two reasons:
a. Lower cost per GB
b. Reduced chance of having to buy a new SSD in the future due to increased capacity demands
2. Flash configuration
Most SSD PCBs are designed to use 8 or 16 flash chips because current SSD controllers have either 4 or 8 flash channels (the Intel X25 is a 10 channel flash design). The performance of SSDs is dependent on flash chips working together efficiently. Through good hardware and firmware design, an 8 channel SSD controller can drive 2, 4, 8 or even 1 chip to function efficiently on an SSD. A 64GB SSD with 16 flash chips can be configured with a geometry of 8GBx8 or 16GBx4 or 4GBx16. The performance of a 16GBx4 geometry is worse than that of 8GBx8 or 4GBx16 geometries due to the controller only using 4 channels. The performance of a 4GBx16 geometry is the best, but the cost will higher than an 8GBx8 geometry. If the number of channels or flash geometry are not ideally configured, the write performance will be affected first. If budget is not the primary concern, we currently recommend using configurations such as MLC 128GB/256GB and SLC 64GB/128GB as the most cost effective, as these configurations make maximum use of the controller. Lower priced SSDs often have inefficient configurations, and are definitely not a cost effective choice due to lower write performance.
The largest portion of the cost of an SSD is the flash, so it is critical to buy one with a good flash configuration to ensure good performance from the investment. The price of a SATA 3 Gb/s 2.5" 64GB SSD with MLC flash maybe less than half that of a SATA 6 Gb/s 128GB SSD, but the latter will still be current technology for 2~3 years and give better life time than a phased-out SATA 3 Gb/s 64GB SSD.
The ADLINK SSD Series offers four products in 2.5" form factor with different operating temperature ranges and flash types:
As MLC NAND flash stores multiple levels of data per cell compared to SLC NAND flash that stores a single level of data per cell, the per GB cost of SLC flash is almost double that of MLC. The MLC "CT" model offers the best price and the SLC "ET" model offers the best performance and reliability. For heavy workload applications, SLC flash is recommended as it is rated for a higher number of erase/program cycles. If the application is in a rugged or outdoor environment, the ET models are recommended and ADLINK provides both reliable SLC ET and cost effective MLC ET versions with wide operating temperature ranges.
1. Avoid performance degradation
a. Make sure the system/OS is setup correctly
ADLINK SSD perform best in AHCI/RAID mode compared to IDE compatible mode and support TRIM commands under Windows, Mac OS X Lion and other OSes. Check drive properties such as NCQ and TRIM (with a program such as CrystalDiskInfo) to make sure the SSD is setup correctly. ADLINK SSDs support an instant garbage collection function in non-TRIM environments to sustain long-term performance.
b. Disable functions designed for hard drives
Defragmenting your SSD serves no useful purpose and only shortens its life. Superfetch, ReadyBoost, and Prefetch functions are intended for OSes installed on hard drives and they are not useful for SSDs. Understand how these functions affect your application and disable them if they are not necessary.
c. If possible, buy enough memory for your system instead of creating a page file on your SSD
The Windows page file allows the totally memory size of the system to be increased and will result in frequent read/write activities on storage device. The performance of SSD with a page file will be seriously degraded.
d. Reserve sufficient storage capacity headroom
Do not fill SSDs to near capacity. The system will perform repeated erase/program cycles in the remaining empty space and result in flash prematurely wearing out and more bad blocks. Even with good wear leveling support, having only a small amount of empty space will still degrade the SSD write performance due to the system having to move and erase blocks more frequently than on a drive with more empty space available.
2. Maximize performanceThere are some additional ways to improve SSD performance.
a. Deferred write
The write speed of SSDs when writing large files is better than for small files. Some third-party software can utilize deferred writes to improve SSD performance.
b. Use DRAM to cache the SSD.
Almost there is no erase cycle limitation for DRAM and DRAM is faster than NAND flash. Assigning a small size cache from high speed system memory using third-party software not only decreases file read/write times to improve system performance, but is also effective at decreasing the number of erase cycles on the flash and extends SSD lifetime.
c. Enable active write back cache (RAID)
On a system that supports Intel® Rapid Storage Technology or other write back cache function on hardware RAID card will also provide improved write performance.
A good understanding of the key components of an SSD (interface, controller, flash, firmware) is critical to making the best choice for cost effectiveness and performance for your application. Having a SATA 6 Gb/s capable controller, properly configured high-performance flash (e.g. Toggle Mode NAND), full-featured firmware, good host compatibility and wide temperature range support are the most important factors for a good industrial SSD. Properly configuring your operating system for SSDs can avoid performance degradation and increase performance.

About this book
Zombies. Mutant animals. Bioengineered weapons and surgically enhanced monsters. Secret labs and widespread conspiracies. It seemed impossible, but Kill Valentine and her teammates among the S.T.A.R.S. had seen it all firsthand when the Umbrella Corporation turned Raccoon City into a staging ground for the most insidious genetic experiments ever conceived. After all she's been through, Valentine is ready to leave that remote mountain community forever. But Umbrella isn't finished with Raccoon City. Too much evidence of their unethical and immoral research still exists. It must be recovered or destroyed -- and quickly -- before it can be traced back to Umbrella. And with William Birkin's mutagenic virus already spreading through the city like wildfire, drastic measures are needed. Under cover of night, mercenary teams have entered the city, along with something else -- Umbrella's failsafe: an evolved version of its Tyrant-class killing machines, a lethal creature code-named Nemesis. Now Nemesis is on the hunt. And Jill Valentine is about to become prey.

6. Endnote Maintenance Renewal
The renewal of this agreement comes before any decision will have been made by the libraries regarding the continued use of RefWorks. Endnote themselves do not regard RefWorks as a competitor to Endnote basically because it is a web based product. To reinforce this view they are including Endnote Web, which they regard as a competitor to RefWorks into the Endnote agreement without additional charge. It was agreed to continue to license Endnote using site license funding from its renewal date. The use of Endnote Web will also be explored since this add-on provides free student use unlike the full Endnote product for which students pay a fee.

Elk's Lodge in Henderson will donate $1,000.00 to KSP's Trooper Island
Date of News Release: 10/09/2009
(Henderson, Ky.) -- On October 9, 2009 at 5:30 p.m. the Elk's Lodge in Henderson will donate $1,000.00 to KSP's Trooper Island. Captain Robert Shoultz of Post 16 will accept the generous donation. The Elk's Lodge is a large area supporter of Trooper Island and this is part of an annual donation from their organization.
Trooper Island is a summer camp that was developed by the Kentucky State Police as part of a long range program of public service to the youth of Kentucky. The idea was to establish a permanent, recreational site where state troopers and campers could share a week-long camping experience together; a place where the tensions and turmoil of our everyday lives can be forgotten and for one week, young people could be given a touch of hope and desire for a better future.
Trooper Island is a 34-acre facility located in a secluded corner of Dale Hollow Lake near the Clinton and Cumberland County line (at the Clinton County end of Dale Hollow Lake on the Kentucky-Tennessee border), where an island was leased from the United States Army Corps of Engineers, and a non-profit, charitable corporation was formed.
It is a free, summer camp. There is no cost to the campers that attend Trooper Island. Trooper Island operates on donations from businesses, churches and the public.

The Masks That Aliens Wear
- Ufolooking
- uploaded: Apr 11, 2010
- Hits: 154
Video taken from J. Chisholm Youtube site.
Quote from site:
April 11, 2010 — On occasion, you can process ETs out of UFOs flying by in near infrared.
The particular alien in this near infrared is covered with a metallic half-mask type device to obscure it's profile.
There is nothing easy about processing UFO images for these kind of details. Not only do you have to break through the "stealthy bits" that hide alien hardware, but on the very rare times you get an alien to look at....the aliens never make it easy. There is always some sort of mask, or tricky kind of camouflage, that aliens deploy to make it hard on a person trying to sort out what is going on in the image extracted from video. This is one of those times.

Author, J. Chisholm, who created this video shown above (Video was originally on author's site on youttube, I redeployed the video here), has a book for sale on the above UFO video and other UFOs. The book is a photography and video capture book on UFOs, please click here (leave comments and reviews on book on author's Amazon website below):http://www.amazon.com/Photography-Method s-UFO-Hunter-How/dp/0986562904/ref=sr_1_ 1 ?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280775721&sr=8-1Written by UFO Lookingps I have read this seminal writer's work, and man is it cool. I've been looking, and the New Hampshire Skeptics are going to review this book...should be interesting to hear what skeptics have to say about what is in essence a step by step how-to book on capturing UFOs on video. I wonder if the skeptics are going to put the effort in to actually carry out the steps outlined in the book, or, are they going to ignore step by step instructions on video capture of UFOs as shown in a book (I have - the steps in the book work!)

Gee.Post a real alien video from a writer who is releasing a how to book on how to capture UFOs, and someone rates you with "1". Cool.Guess the media has confused people, who believe UFOs actually look like flying saucers. The few I've caught on near IR camera look just like the one's J. Chisholm is posting.I will continue to post this writer's videos. I am kinda getting into this subject.ufolooking

Candid Observations of the 'MySpace Generation'
- Thursday, May 29, 2008
I have an only son. He never liked to talk so much about his thoughts, feelings, or even his struggles with me. He mostly talked about … his hunger.
"Mom, can you make me something to eat?"
But I couldn't let that stop me. From the time he was little, I took his spiritual/emotional temperature by frequently asking about his thoughts and feelings, as well as his curiosities, jealousies, and inadequacies. My husband commented over the years on my effortless (or was it tenacious?) ability to get him to talk with me about anything and everything — and even get the truth out of him.
Though my son is 29 and recently married, I've found that this parenting skill of taking a young person's emotional/spiritual temperature is an ability I still possess. In fact, (and I'm not exaggerating) whenever I meet a 15 to 29 year-old I feel a connection to them. I see these "kids" as my spiritual children even though they are not my biological children.
Taking This Generation's Temperature
So, I guess it shouldn't have been too big of a surprise when I woke up one morning a few years ago and felt that God might want me to return to youth work. I spent almost two decades speaking to high-schoolers and collegians across America during the 1980's and 1990's but by 2000, I had transitioned into a speaker for women, couples, and singles. At the time it seemed a natural progression to leave youth work. Yet in the summer of 2004, I heard God softly (then loudly) ask (maybe it was more like, "tell") me to return to youth ministry.
It is a strange phenomenon when God asks you to do something that no one else is asking you to do. I hadn't received a phone call to speak for a college chapel in years. But, that didn't seem to matter to God. He prompted me to make calls and invite myself.
It was a humbling experience. Few wanted me to come. So instead of booking speaking engagements, I set aside a 40-day period (January 21, 2006 through March 1, 2006) to visit 23 college campuses in 11 states as a prayer leader. I visited each of these campuses just to pray with and for students.
And I was shocked at what I found. You'd be absolutely shocked, too.
Instead of "prayer for revival," I found myself on a "prayer for survival" mission. After hundreds of confession sessions with "nice, Christian kids from great families" involved in all forms of sexual activities, alcohol abuse, and hidden eating disorders, I knew why God sent me.
I was not a pastor or administrator who could kick them out of school or admonish them for their behavior. I was a mom who was being sent to take the temperature of this young generation. I had the unique skill of being able to look directly into the eyes of a student, ask tough questions, and get truthful answers -- as only a mom can do. I was also able to hold in my arms the tearful, broken students who were struggling with same-sex attraction or who were pregnant or addicted to pornography. I was a listening ear who could take their confession of sin and talk them through forgiveness and repentance.
Upon returning from the 40 Days of Prayer for Revival on College Campuses, I've spent the last few years trying to sound an alarm, to make some noise, to not only write and speak to my generation about my candid observations about this young generation, but to ask parents and older adults to get involved with them by becoming "spiritual" parents.
Why Our Grown-Up Kids Need Parents
Your child and their friends may be legal adults, so you may feel they don't need you any more. In generations gone by, high school graduation would be the time parents prepared for the freedom of an empty nest.
But what I saw on those college campuses awakened me to the realization that the late teens and twenties are an entirely different experience today. Our kids are maturing later and later -- emotionally, spiritually, and financially. And while their maturity lags behind, they also face cultural challenges and temptations at an intensity level that didn't previously exist. Let me share what I observed about this generation:
1. Students and young adults don't talk about today's "hot topics" (such as sex, pornography, eating disorders, or binge drinking) with their parents, pastors, teachers, bosses, or administrators because they are afraid they will be judged, scolded, minimized, or rejected for being sucked into the culture. All may seem fine on the surface, yet these "hot topics" are the very issues that are vying for their attention and even worse, infiltrating students and young adult's lives on a daily basis.
2. Unless the older generation takes the initiative (by overcoming our own fear, pride, or shame) to intelligently and unemotionally talk to the younger generation about the depravity of the culture in which we all live, our young people, our "good kids," are going to be consumed by it.
3. My third observation might surprise you: I am convinced that this young generation desperately wants to talk about how difficult it is to live God-honoring lives in this sex-crazed, binge-drinking culture. They want to talk about the fears and constant temptations that consistently confuse and undermine their values and faith. They want to confess their failings and find forgiveness and a new start. They want practical ideas on how to stand against the media's smooth, seductive pressures instead of repeatedly falling prey to it. And most importantly, they want and need to be in relationships with mentors who are older, patient, and faithful to God and others.
4. This young generation is not running from the truth. They just need help to navigate the truth in a pervasive culture that ridicules them for what and in Whom they believe. In fact, I am certain they truly long to believe in the God of the Bible and believe that what He requires of them is for their good but they are in a fierce battle for their moral, spiritual, and physical lives.

Taylor Wessing launches LGBT property network
Readers' comments (1)
Why is the property market seen as being behind the times on LGBT issues?
I've had 3 gay landlords in 6 years and 2 heterosexual ones. I've also met loads of openly gay people working in property.
This looks like a flimsy excuse for a special interest group to be set up. I don't see how this helps integration, it's just a form of segregation.

Bing Ads has announced a change to their Keywords Tab to allow advertisers to review up to 50,000 keywords within their user interface. Previously, if advertisers had more than 5,000 keywords, an alert would appear asking advertisers to narrow down the keywords scope by selecting specific ad group.
Larger advertisers with mass amounts of keyword data have often found that the Bing Ads UI is problematic with the previous limits in place, and was an often requested feature from advertisers.
Along with the change to the number of keywords, they also updated performance so that even if there's tens of thousands of keywords, they will display almost immediately. Advertisers can display the keywords right number of rows – 20, 50, 100, or 200 – within the Keyword Tab, complete with pagination.
This is the first phase of enhancements Bing Ads is making to accounts that have a large amount of data and to their Bing Ads UI. While they haven't hinted what other enhancements will be made for advertisers, they do state that we will see more later this year.

iPhone Commits Suicide at 20mph: Emergency Rescue, Part 1
Ever wondered what happens to an iPhone when it's violently ejected at 20 mph? Although it would be an interesting thing to see on perhaps YouTube, I had hoped never to personally experience my own phone performing suicide while jumping off my bicycle mount during a 140 mile charity bike ride this weekend. Read on through as I detail the circumstances, autopsy report, my research on repairs/replacement for my phone, as well as what I plan to do.
This weekend I participated in the Ride for the Feast, a 140 mile bicycle ride in the name of charity to help Moveable Feast feed nutritious meals to unfortunate people homebound with HIV/AIDs, breast cancer, and other life-threatening diseases. 140 miles from Ocean City to Baltimore, Maryland, and while I had never ridden more than 50 miles in the past, it was a challenge for a great cause.
In all my infinite wisdom, I had decided to use a cell phone mount to take my iPhone 3Gs with me so that I could see the map, view the queue sheet, and listen to some tunes while riding. With only 5 miles to go, we entered Baltimore City and found long smooth country roads replaced with unbelievably badly deteriorated roads. Not having ever experienced an issue with my mount before, and having used it many many times on my motorcycle before with pretty rough vibrations, I didn't even think to check the phone. Just as we were coming to the final stretch and my exhaustion was finally becoming overwhelmed with excitement to finish the ride, I heard a sickening sound and looked down to see my (not so) shiny white iPhone bouncing along the street. "How odd," I initially thought, "someone threw an iPhone at me." To my horror, it was my phone jumping out of its mount due to the insane amount of bumps riding on the Baltimore streets.
It was the one major downer in an otherwise exhilarating weekend and series of events for a good cause. (Un)luckily for me, it was just the screen that cracked, and the phone itself was still operational, including the touchscreen. After a few hours of using it though I soon realized that the glass was cutting my finger on swipes and slowly falling out, so I wrapped it in plastic wrap in the meantime. I had to cut a slit in the bottom to charge it. Works, but quite ghetto indeed.
My immediate thoughts were of how I might replace or repair the phone. My prior plans were to wait until September(?) for the next iPhone and when I would be eligible for an upgrade. I'm just short of my 2-year contract period and there is an $18 penalty, plus $200 purchase price to upgrade to the iPhone 4. I mulled over using this incident as an excuse to upgrade to the iPhone 4, but with just 4 months to go before the next upgraded version I was averse to the idea of switching so close to the next update.
A friend had replaced his iPhone 3 screen almost two years ago, and I recalled that while it was a straightforward process it had cost him something like $100 to do back then. $100 being half the price of the upgrade seemed a bit steep, but upon further research there were kits for as low as $10, with some of the more reputable ones going for around $20-$30. Some of the sites detailing the replacement process actually show a quite straightforward (although not to say not difficult) process.
It seemed like it was only last week where I thought I'd simply apply some TLC to breath some life back into my Iphone. So here goes nothing, I'm going to order a kit and when it comes in I'll walk through the repair process. Wish me luck.

I've replaced the glass on my 3gs twice with great success and little cost. No brainer.
Tips: Watch a lot of videos online about replacement and you'll have not problems.
You have to heat for a LONG time to get that adhesive to give...like, at least 5 straight min.
Oh and wear latex gloves so you don't get fingerprints on the LCD!
awesome ashk, thanks for the advice. Which kit did you use?
What happened to your 3gs that you had to replace the glass twice?
Good luck! I think my dad replaced the screen on his without issue. I'm not certain on that, but I know that was an unfortunate fall-from-ladder incident.
Long time reader, first time commenter.
As part of my day job I fix iPhones, usually broken glass. Heres my thoughts:
A) The business insider article is a bit miss leading on the cost of display replacement at the Apple store. $199 is replacement for an iPhone 4. The 3G & 3Gs display assembly replacement is $99. This is an out-patient repair for the 3G/s models (assuming parts in stock) that includes a new Glass, digitizer, LCD, earpiece & home button. Easy & fast.
B) I am wary of the ultra cheap kits on places like Amazon. Typically these are fully functioning, but have some sort of defect physically. Usually there is an imperfection in the glass that looks like a white speck or scratch. Its really hard to see until the part is installed. Think "you get what you pay for"- theres a reason the part did not go to the bigger resellers. I've also seen knock off parts that are close, but just not OEM quality or materials. If you like risk, go for it.
C) Glass vs assembly: Replacing just the glass requires more tools and know how, so if you're confident and adventurous- go for it. I'd personally go for iFixit parts- they generally have high quality parts like the yellow/orange adhesive. Those are much easier to work with than the beige/green ones. As for replacing the assembly; much easier and much less time. You basically remove the display assembly and swap the LCD over. Simple, no heat gun needed, less to go wrong.
To sum up the difficulty:
Hard: Glass & digitizer replacement
Medium: Front panel assembly
Easy: Display assembly
I replaced the glass on my iPhone 3Gs a couple of months ago using one of those cheap kits off amazon. The first time I did it I pulled too hard and tore a connector. The second time it went in perfectly. My fall was pretty harsh so I also had a little body damage to repair to make it fit, but everything seems to line up perfectly where it's not dinged. I've since put it in an otter box case to make sure it survives until the new iPhone comes out.
A couple of notes on the replacement. with a little patience, you can get by without a heat gun. Latex gloves are definitely a must (I have one little piece of carpet fiber on the inside of mine that drives me nuts but isn't worth opening up again).
Good luck with it!

Across the country, Americans have new options for high quality, affordable coverage through health insurance marketplaces. Learn more through Robert Wood Johnson Foundation resources.
Leaders across government, business, education, and other sectors are working together to create programs and policies to help people lead healthier lives.
RWJF invests in programs and approaches that focus on changing behavioral norms and community conditions to help stop the spread of violence before it starts.
RWJF is committed to expanding the number of nurses, building their leadership capacity, sharpening their skills and the skills of their educators, and building awareness of the urgent need to address the projected nursing shortage.
At Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we believe that by expanding preventive care, health coverage, and health-oriented policy change, we can reduce health care costs and help all Americans live longer and healthier lives.
Early childhood experiences and environments can greatly affect health, well into adulthood. RWJF supports programs to enable schools, families and communities to provide children the best foundation for a healthy, productive life.
