Generally speaking, it is a good hotel.
The staff was great, even tho we locked ourselves out they responded promptly.
Flexible room arrangement meant we had two bathrooms in the family unit.
Convenient for city centre without being right in city centre
The room was very small
When it as raining the gutters were overflowing and crashing down onto the concrete thermal pool, then gurgling down the plug hole.
The hotel was very comfortable well appointed and quiet and the staff were friendly and hlpful
Spacious rooms, well equipped kitchen, clean, good location, natural spa pool
Not easy to find, we spent about an hour driving up and down and asking people, but nobody seemed to know...
We stayed in the cottage which was spacious and very well appointed. The pool and thermal spa were welcomed features and the staf were very friendly. The cottage is nice and quiet and for us perfectly positioned near the aquatic centre where we had a swim meet all week-end. We'll definetely stay again here for next year's meet.
The only thing the cottage really needed was some maintenance on the window locks. Nearly every single lock was broken to some degree.
Motel was clean and comfortable, and well located in the town so it was easy to come and go.
Would have been easier if we had been able to unpack our bikes on the tile floor, but motel had strict rule that bikes weren't allowed inside the door of the unit.
A real gem. Good value for money in a convenient location. The owners couldnt help enough & we found the rooms to be comfortable & clean.
Great central location, can walk to CBD if wanted. Nice unit.
Well-equipped and decorated room.Nice ensuite bathroom with a large private hotub, definitely a treat after a whole day's sightseeing. Easy drive to supermarkets. 5 mins walk to Te Puia for our cultural tour.
Nothing to complain.
The staff was incredibly helpful and was very friendly.
Room was incredibly tidy, beautiful big spa bath! Lovely staff, will definately stay there again.
The rooms are large and have designated parking spots
Using the laundry cost and additional $10 on top of the rental price. The location is on a main strip where there is really nothing but 100 other hotels. The shower in my room leaked and flooded the floor.

Latest review for The Bottom (Aug. publication)
New York Journal of Books August 31, 2015
The Bottom by Howard Owen (Willie Black Series, Book 4)
Reviewed by D. R. Meredith
"The Bottom by Howard Owen races along
at breakneck speed, hardly pausing long enough to allow one to catch a breath."
Willie Black, hard-smoking and hard drinking crime reporter for a
Richmond, Virginia, newspaper is trying to reform after a drunken argument with girlfriend Cindy. "I hardly drink anymore,
and I've cut way back on the Camels." Willie is exaggerating as he admits to himself. "Of course, this means
two drinks a day instead of six and maybe six cigarettes instead of a pack."
The point is that Willie is trying to be a better person, but one
area where he has no intention of changing is his obsession to track down a story, tackle it to the ground, and write it up
for the front page. "I just want to get a story and sink my teeth into it like a pit bull with anger issues."
His current story is the Tweety Bird Killer,
a serial killer who in the last eighteen months has killed four young women and tattooed the cartoon character on their ankles.
Willie is not above lying to get his story. Perhaps lying is the wrong word. When he interviews the guard of the train station
where the body is dumped, Willie doesn't lie, not technically anyway.
"I tell him I have a few more questions about the dead body that somehow materialized
just outside the lobby, on his watch. I somehow forget to mention that I'm asking on behalf of our shrinking readership
rather than the police."
to this oversight on Willie's part, he learns the guard was lured from his post to a bar by a phone call from Willie's
own daughter, Andi. This is not good news. Willie is not happy to see Andi involved even in a small way in the Tweety Bird
"I got this call,
on my cell. The guy said there was an envelope under the napkin at the bar. . .there were two twenties and a note. The guy
said one twenty was for me and the other one was for drinks for this guy I was supposed to call."
Willie's problem is to track down whoever made the phone call,
a difficult job since he has no idea who he is looking for. Neither do the police until a low life photographer named Ronnie
Sax started showing his neighbor some porn shots of underage girls. The neighbor calls the cops, who find photos of two of
the victims on Ronnie's computer.
This is not Ronnie's first arrest on porn charges. On the previous occasion Willie was blunt about his feelings.
"As the father of a daughter, I think now that, in a similar situation, I might have shot Ronnie Sax." Still,
as a serial killer Ronnie Sax is not a serious suspect as far as Willie Black is concerned.
A better suspect is Wat Chenault, a fat, aging former state senator,
whose political career was torpedoed when Willie discovered that Chenault was cavorting with a 14-year-old girl in a hotel
room, and wrote a story about it, with an accompanying photo.
Chenault is suing the newspaper because Willie resurrected the story after the sleazy Chenault
announces plans to develop The Bottom, a section of old Richmond where an unmarked slave cemetery is supposed to exist. Willie
is bi-racial, and it's possible some of his father's ancestors are buried in that cemetery.
Putting aside Chenault's plans for real estate development,
the slave cemetery, and his penchant for underage girls, there is the fact that Willie can find no trace of the teenager who
originally ripped away the former state senator's mask of respectability. She disappeared shortly after Willie originally
broke the story and has not been seen since.
Ronnie Sax is arrested. The Tweety Bird Killer is in jail. Richmond women are safe. When Willie receives letters
from someone claiming to be the real killer, and furthermore reveals details about the victims that the police have withheld
from the public, Willie knows the murderer is still free. "Sax looks like a natural. I was pretty much ready to pull
the switch myself. Now, with the letter, I'm not so sure."
If the Tweety Bird Killer isn't Ronnie Sax, and it isn't Wat Chenault, and
Willie now has a good reason to believe that Wat may be a scumbag, but not a killer, then who is raping and murdering the
young women of Richmond?
The Bottom by Howard Owen
races along at breakneck speed, hardly pausing long enough to allow one to catch a breath. Written in sparse journalistic style, with few adjectives and no unnecessary words,
The Bottom features wonderful characters who are just eccentric enough to be amusing without being stereotypes. While
some mystery fans may not care for Willie's use of profanity, it is appropriate to his character. This is a perfect
read for those who like their mysteries blunt and to the point.
The Bottom
Here are some nice
pre-publication reviews for The Bottom, the fourth Willie Black mystery. It comes out in August.
Publishers Weekly
Howard Owen. Permanent, $28 (208p) ISBN 9781579623920
Willie Black has the tenacity of a bulldog when chasing a story or a bad guy, as shown in Owen's satisfying
fourth mystery featuring the Richmond, Va., newspaper reporter (after 2014's Parker Field). A serial
killer dubbed Tweety Bird has just claimed his fourth victim, a 14year old girl, probably a runaway, found in Richmond's
rundown Main Street train station. On her ankle is the killer's signature tattoo of a cartoon bird. After the police
arrest sleazy photographer Ronnie Sax for the crime, Willie starts receiving threatening handwritten letters with information
only the killer could know. Meanwhile, a former state senator is pushing an ambitious development plan for the Richmond neighborhood
known as the Bottom, much to its residents' dismay. Willie carries a lot of personal baggage, including a fractured
(but not broken) family, three divorces, a couple of rocky romances, and a drinking problem sort of under control, but readers
can count on him to deliver in the end. (Aug.)

Newspaperman Willie Black was born 60 years too late, and he's unhappy about
it. His century's
reporters were bourbon soaked, and when they weren't playing
poker, they were bringing down
scoundrels. Nowadays, the birdcage liner—his term—Willie
works for in Richmond, Virginia, is
staffed by sycophants and run by weasels, and he loves
to tell us all about it. His rants are
interrupted by murders he must solve. This time (following
Parker Field, 2014), someone is
killing teenage girls, and after the cops jail a former
newspaper photographer, Willie still has his
doubts. After all, he keeps getting letters
from someone claiming to be the real killer. And he has
inside dope. As the story unfolds,
Willie faces the killer, battles a greedy developer's plan to
junk up the landscape,
and installs a spine in the newspaper's publisher—all the while displaying
easy humor and a sweet good nature that belies his cynicism. At one point, he wonders if his
could really care about, "a 53-year-old bald man who needs to lose weight." Of course,
she could. We do. — Don Crinklaw

Willie Mays Black, reporter/drinker/police
gadfly, searches for a serial killer in Owen's (Parker
Field, 2014, etc.) fourth crime caper.
Young women, each corpse marked with a distinctive
tattoo, have been discovered in Richmond,
Virginia. Ronnie Sax, one-time photojournalist, full-
time pornographer, possessed all the right
perversions, and the cops jailed him. Even Willie
thinks he's guilty until he begins getting
threats that his single, pregnant, bar-tending, college-age
daughter, Andi, will be targeted
unless Sax is released. Sax's sister provides an alibi, and he's
freed. Willie's suspicions
turn to an ex-pol he exposed for bedding an underage girl. Now
lobbying to desecrate a slave
burial ground with big box stores, that fellow, Wat Chenault, is
"fronting for a bunch
of bright-eyed hustlers who claim they'll grow the tax base." Owen drops
deft characterizations
page upon page: Willie as "a busybody who loves getting paid to snoop,"
and the
true killer as "something out of the latest chainsaw movie." Clean and clear, not an
word or scene, Owen's plot flashes along like a tense edition of Law & Order: SVU.
former reporter, Owen enjoys knifing the newspapers business's bean counters, eager to ignore
news in pursuit of the bottom line. A little black comedy provides the knife twist when
former publisher makes the obits after an unfortunate meeting of Segway and city bus. Owen
regulars like Willie's mother, the dope-smoking Peggy; Awesome Dude, Peggy's
part-time lodger
and part-time street wanderer; and Sarah, a young female reporter Willie fears
may give
up the news beat to chase a bigger paycheck. Owen has a solid grip on people and
lace and
the social and racial tensions buzzing through a city haunted by history—a perfect
for nuanced crime capers.

"A Masterful Tale
of Murder and Mystery."
Richmond, Virginia is going through
some growing pains at the moment, as an ex-senator, now
a building contractor, is trying
to build a business center on the site where slaves were buried
and the black community
is up in arms. Newspaper crime reporter, Willie Mays Black is on their
side, but he and
the ex-senator have a past connection that goes back to when the ex-senator
was caught in
bed with a 14-year-old girl, and Willie helped ruin his political career. The ex-
senator is looking
for reasons to sue the newspaper because of Willie and their stand against
his building
project. But Willie has other problems at the moment. The fourth victim of the
Tweety Bird
killer was just found at the train station, and Willie is working on that case. The
are all young girls, runaways, raped and tortured, then tattooed with the image of
Bird on their ankle before they were killed. Willie thinks that maybe the ex-senator is
guilty party due to his preference for underage girls. Now, the lawsuit may bring a stop to
This was another fantastic Willie Black murder mystery in his little community
of Richmond. The
author recently retired after 44 years as a veteran newspaper man, and
knows the inside and
outs of newspaper work The reader is pulled into the story, and the
characters come alive; the
reader may even want to drop by Penny Lane for a couple of beers

HILL NAMED WINNER OF NORTH AMERICAN HAMMETT PRIZE The North American Branch of the International Association of Crime Writers is pleased to announce

Hill, by Howard Owen (Permanent), has been named the winner of the organization's annual HAMMETT PRIZE for a work of

from among five finalists nominated from the hundreds of crime books published in 2012. These five titles were selected by
the organization's nominations committee headed by J. Madison Davis.Other books nominated for the 2012 HAMMETT PRIZE were Defending
Jacob: A Novel(Delacorte), by William Landay; Truth Like the Sun: A Novel (Knopf), by Jim Lynch; Patient Number 7 (McClelland
& Stewart), by Kurt Palka; and Alif the Unseen (Emblem/Canada; Grove/US), by G. Willow Wilson. Mr. Owen was awarded a bronze trophy, designed by West

still employed by the city's daily newspaper, still covering the night police beat with its DDGBs and dirt naps, still
avoiding the hawk that periodically swoops down to pluck away a few more of his colleagues in a business that was foundering
even before the Great Recession. He still drinks too much, smokes too much and disobeys too much. The only thing that keeps
him employed: He's a damn fine reporter. Even his beleaguered bosses would concede that.
In The Philadelphia Quarry (which will be published in July of 2013), Willie puts himself
on a collision course with a part of Richmond that a boy growing up in Oregon Hill could only experience through illicit midnight
sorties at the city's most exclusive swimming hole. The Quarry was where Alicia Parker Simpson identified Richard Slade
as her rapist, 28 years ago. Then, five days after DNA evidence freed Slade from the prison system in which he had spent his
adult life, Alicia Simpson is shot to death at a stoplight en route to her gym.
Hardly anyone doubts that Richard Slade did it. Who could blame him? But Willie has his doubts. When the full weight
of the city's old money falls on him, trying to quash the story, he only becomes more determined to get at the thing
that always seems to get him in trouble – the truth. The fact that Richard Slade is his cousin, a link to his long-dead
African-American father, only makes Willie more tenacious.
In the
end, Willie will be drawn back to the Philadelphia Quarry, where it all started so long ago and where the truth lies, waiting
to pounce.
The New York Times said Willie "speaks the local
language, a crisp and colorful urban idiom we can't wait to hear again." Kirkus Reviews wrote, "Willie Black
deserves a sequel." Publishers Weekly added, "Readers will hope that Willie will soon return."
By popular demand, Willie's back, and he's not backing down.
Here's what the pre-pub reviewers are saying about The Philadelphia Quarry
Kirkus Reviews
Owen's (Oregon Hill, 2012, etc.) hard-drinking Richmond reporter Willie Black has an inside
track on a blockbuster crime story that's "red meat for the on-the-airheads."
Richard Slade, a 17-year-old African-American, spent three decades incarcerated for the 1983 rape
of debutante Alicia Parker Simpson, daughter of an old-money Commonwealth Club family. It was a he-said, she-said case relegated
to an incompetent public defender. Slade ended up in prison.
Slade is proven innocent by DNA technology. Free only days, Slade is jailed again, charged with Simpson's murder. It's
another quixotic case for Willie Black, the perfect flawed hero, too often with the bottle, too often defying his bosses.
Willie long ago lost a prime beat and was shuffled to night duty,
but when
an innocent guy takes the fall, Willie thinks first
with his wrong-side-of-town, chip-on-the-shoulder mindset. Owen's secondary characters are superb. Kate, an attorney
and Willie's ex-wife No. 3, allows Willie to rent her Prestwould condo and keeps him out of court when he picks up a
DUI. She's also on Slade's case, seconding spotlight-hound Marcus Green, eager to prove "the racist system
can't do it."
Willie's marijuana-loving
mother, Peggy, reappears, as does venerable Clara Westbrook, one of the Richmond elite and now a resident of Prestwould. Peggy
offhandedly reveals that Willie and Slade are distantly related through Willie's light-skinned African-American father,
and Clara gives him the down low on Alicia's society-maven sister and schizophrenic brother.
Against a backdrop of advertising-suppressed investigative print journalism, Owen uses race and class,
coupled with a Faulknerian family tragedy, to provide a powerful narrative engine. While the complex noir drama keeps the
pages turning, crime-fiction buffs might identify the actual rapist early in the narrative, but the murderer and motivation
complete the storyline perfectly.
A quick-flowing crime
drama that will have fans eager for Willie Black to right another injustice.
Narrator Willie, who charmed readers in Oregon Hill (2012),
is a hard drinking, old-style newsman who still takes notes with pen and pad and
takes his chances with the powers-that-be to get at the truth. A well-plotted mystery
elevated above the norm by Owen's mastery of character development and his
creation of a compelling hero.
Richmond, Va., reporter Willie Black proves himself a dogged, flawed,
and tarnished knight of the Fourth Estate in Owen's strong sequel to 2012's
Oregon Hill, a Hammett Prize finalist. Owen
has a knack for creating quirky but credible characters, from homeless "Awesome Dude" to Simpson's aristocratic older sister, Lewis Witt.

PREMIERE: "Winter Fell" by Walking Shapes
Walking Shapes
Courtesy of Girlie Action
Though the title of Walking Shapes' "Winter Fell" may trigger some sensors for Game of Thrones fans, but according to Nathaniel Hoho, inspiration came from elsewhere. "The song title came from a poem i had a written at the same time which had the phrase 'winter fell upon me I was lost swimming with sharks, I was,'" he explains.
Beyond the title, the song's lyrics were inspired by Hoho's confinement indoors during the "polar vortex." The Brooklyn band then put together a video with the help of editor Alex Evan Morales, director Adam Erick Wallace and dancers Karolina Wallace and Darla Baker that "is a celebration of exercising your demons and, at the end of the day, being able to look around you and smile about it," according to Hoho.
Prior to the April 8th release of Walking Shapes' Taka Come On, and as spring prepares to actually arrive, we're happy to exclusively premiere the music video for "Winter Fell" by Walking Shapes, a clip for a song much warmer than its subject matter.
Watch "Winter Fell" after the jump.

Optical fiber sensor networks (OFSNs) are facing the problem of a lack of systematic evaluation criteria to assess network performance. In this paper, a universal quantitative robustness evaluation model for OFSNs is proposed. The model defines robustness as the mathematical expectation of the monitoring coverage ratio, which has taken into account the performance under all possible network states and the probability of each state. This model is applied to four basic network topologies including line, ring, star and bus topologies, and their mathematical expressions of robustness are derived by analyzing all possible states in detail. Further simulation gives a quantitative comparison among these topologies, proving that the ring and star topologies are optimal for the monitoring of strip-shaped and square regions, respectively. Finally, two influencing factors, the attenuation coefficient and the threshold, are investigated for their impact on the robustness of the network.

Can I take carisoprodol if I have a tooth ache?

Answers (1)
5 Oct 2009
You can try but I don't think it'll work.
Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxer that works by blocking pain sensations between the nerves and the brain.
Carisoprodol is used together with rest and physical therapy to treat injuries and other painful musculoskeletal conditions.

New and clean room, friendly owner, calm and cozy athmosphere, no set breakfast or check-out time so you do not need to hurry in the morning.
The atmospere at Hotel du Pillon is like being at home, but without the hassle of having to do anything oneself. The first class 'ambiance' is partly due to the extremely friendly 'acceuil' of the owner.
I liked the location and the good service provided. Dinner is also often very good at this hotel.
I have been to this hotel many times before. Last time before this was 4 years ago. But now, some rooms are in need of updating. Nothing is very bad but a new coat of paint and new rugs and such would help the look. Also, this time, our dietary requirements, although stated very clearly when ordering food, was not taken into account at the delivery of the food, twice! My experience 4 years ago was better but still, it's a nice hotel.
Centrally located, friendly and welcoming staff.
Nicely furnished and comfortable room
Bathing room in general nice, but Shower needs some improvments
Some one once told me if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all....
Friendly staff, good location, clean rooms, practical for families
poor noise insulation, quite expensive for what it is
Please write at least 15 words
Generally very friendly and helpful staff
Nice room and bath;. Newly remodeled rooms. Pet friendly. Plenty of onsite parking. Most staff speaks English or limited English. Although visiting in summer, noticed ski runs are nearby (5-10 minute drive). A sitting room with a fireplace on the second floor would be a nice place to relax after a day of skiing. Would recommend the hotel primarily due to the location; the drive thru the countryside is lovely and worth experiencing. However, because it is so expensive, would not return again and probably would not recommend the hotel to others unless they knew it would be a very expensive visit.
Extremely expensive room, food, drink. Very costly dinner. Menu only in French (no other translations). The room price included breakfast, but for the prices charged, more substantial breakfast choices should be provided. Breakfast is brought to your table and extremely limited (small processed cheese, cube of guyres cheese, small juice, processed yogurt cup, coffee, breads). No fruit, meats, other cheeses, egg, cereal. If another restaurant is open with less expensive prices, go there instead. Due to high prices, not a place for a large family. No fan in room; to cool off the room, had to open windows which meant a lot of road noise until midnight.
I've stayed in Villars a lot over the years and I have grown accustomed to mediocre hotels with high rates. The Eurotel Victoria broke that trend! The room was large with great views, the staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating, the breakfast was plentiful and parking was free despite what was mentioned on the website. I'll definitely stay there next time!
The only thing I did not like, but it was not really a problem, was that our room was on the top floor which was not reachable by the elevator. I would not think twice about it had I not been travelling with a baby!
The salad buffet in the retaurant was absolutely amazing. The rooms were really comfortable and very big and I wish I had that bathroom at home!
The breakfast staff was rude despite having asked for an early breakfast the night before.
The room was renewed, with an adorable bathroom, showering looking out the window and seeing all the mountains was priceless. The terrace was huge, quiet with again a lovely view on the mountains.
Breakfast OK, not too fancy. Not too much variety of things, but the necessary was there.
Hotel position is excellent and good parking
I had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
Excellent location. Splendid service: very friendly and courteous host,
Very friendly staff; nice library and comfortable lounge
Les owners sont très sympas the General Henri Guisan was sleeping in the hotel very nice decoration

The Nativity by MissCosettePontmercyWatch
©2010-2016 MissCosettePontmercy
I did this colored pencil drawing last Christmas for my family's Christmas card and completely forgot to upload it. I based it off a nativity scene painting I found online, the only information I was able to find about it was that it is copyrighted by Somerset Publishing. So hopefully that is sufficient information as far as referencing. The image helped me with poses and some color, but I definitely extrapolated and changed a lot of elements in my drawing, making it much more cartoony and my style. This is of course Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus on Christmas Eve . I've been told that Mary looks like me...but that was soooo not intentional if its true, lol, I don't have that high of an opinion of myself!
Winter 2009.

I like Mary facial expression, it's like "Try not to show how proud I am that God chose *me* to be the Christ Childs mother!" Joseph is like "Yes, I bow before him!"
Beautifully done.

Merry Christmas. I like how they look completely ecstatically happy, like someone just injected some adrenalin in their veins, haha (mostly Joseph though).
Hee hee, thanks! I don't think injections were available back then lol! I think they are just excited about the baby, I'd be excited if I gave birth to Jesus, lol!
Oooh this is beautiful
very nice picture!
Very pretty. I love their eyes
this is great! one of the most beautiful moments in history. Jesus was born.
this is beautiful!
Wow! This is beautiful work!
Oh my gosh, lady... this is so beautiful! This nearly brought tears to my eyes!
Excellent, excellent work!

We had the best time, we will be back, The staff was wonderful, Thank- You, for a great day.
July 2013
Terrific ride! It was only 25% as exciting as the open boat ride, but much drier. This ride allows you to take photos, which cannot be taken on the open boat ride. This ride is terrific for those with small children, those wanting to stay dry, and those desiring to take photos. You do ride the rapids, but in the dryness of the closed boat.
July 2013
This is a great alternative to the boats that leave you soaked with water from the Niagara Lake. The domed jet went through the same rapids and also included some great historical facts about the local geography of Niagara.
July 2013
Very fun and interesting
May 2012
All went very smoothly, website easy to use, place easy to find staff very friendly. Boat ride spectacular. Hope to do it again someday.
August 2011
The jet boat ride was exhilarating!! The tour guide was amazing, and thorough about the history of Niagara Falls. They stopped numerous times for picture opportunities. They even did some bonus runs, which made the ride longer which I thought was generous. Overall, a great experience and highly recommend it to anyone who plans a trip to Niagara Falls!! It's a must do ride!!!
August 2011
Great fun

It was a very good trip.. We chose the domed boat just to stay dry.. If you want to get wet then definitely ride on the open boat. You will not be disappointed..

I've browsed some of the other questions about MySQL and Python on SO. There are a few things eluding me, because I'm pretty new to Python.
First, I'm trying to get a simple guestbook app to work. It takes posted variables and puts them into a MySQL database. Take a look:
user = "Chat",
passwd = "myPass",
db = "Chatserver")
cursor = con.cursor()
cursor.execute ("INSERT INTO guestbook (name,message) VALUES(%s,%s)",(name,greeting))
Ok, so some of the tutorials and answers on SO have many Quotation marks surrounding the SQL query, and I don't know why that is. I've tried it with 1 quote, I've tried it with 3 quotes, and it just never works. There are no exception callbacks and the code seems to run, but no records are ever entered into the database.
So my two questions are, how many quotation marks do I need when encapsulating the Queries, and why doesn't my script add anything to the database but not report any errors?

Introduction, Dynamic Write Acceleration, and Packaging
Micron joined Intel in announcing their joint venture production of IMFT 3D NAND just a bit over a year ago. The industry was naturally excited since IMFT has historically enabled relatively efficient production, ultimately resulting in reduced SSD prices over time. I suspect this time things will be no different as IMFT's 3D Flash has been aiming high die capacities since its inception, and I suspect their second generation will *double* per-die capacities while keeping speeds reasonable thanks to a quad-plane design implemented from the start of this endeavor. Of course, I'm getting ahead of myself a bit as there are no consumer products sporting this flash just yet - well not until today at least:
Marketed under Micron's consumer brand Crucial, the MX300 is their first entrant into the consumer space, as well as the first consumer SSD sporting IMFT 3D NAND. Crucial is known for their budget-minded SSDs, and for the MX300 they chose to go with the best cost/GB they could manage with what they had to work with. That meant putting this new 3D NAND into TLC mode. Now there are many TLC haters out there, but remember this is 3D NAND. Samsung's 850 EVO can exceed 500 MB/sec writes to TLC at its 500GB capacity point, and this MX300 is a product that is launching with *only* a 750GB capacity, so its TLC speed should be at least reasonable.
(the return of) Dynamic Write Acceleration
Dynamic Write Acceleration in action during a sequential fill - that last slowest part was my primary concern for the mX300.
TLC is not the only story here because Crucial has included their Dynamic Write Acceleration (DWA) technology into the MX300. This is a tech where the SSD controller is able to dynamically switch flash programming modes of the flash pool, doing so at the block level. This appears to be a feature unique to IMFT flash, as every other 'hybrid' SSD we have tested had a static SLC cache area. DWA's ability to switch flash modes on-the-fly has always fascinated me on paper, but I just haven't been impressed by Micron's previous attempts to implement it. The M600 was a bit all over the place on its write consistency, and that SSD was flipping blocks between SLC and MLC. With the MX300 flipping between SLC and *TLC*, there was a possibility of far more noticeable slow downs in the cases where large writes were taking place and the controller was caught trying to scavenge space in the background.

Crucial's DDR4-2133 32GB Dual-Channel kit; decent price but can it perform?
Subject: Memory | March 14, 2016 - 04:04 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: crucial, ddr4, ddr4-2133
The price of DDR4 continues to come down from the stratosphere and into affordable territory, especially when you look at the kits lower their frequencies to allow you to buy a larger pool of RAM. The Crucial DDR4-2133 32GB kit is an example of this, albeit a strange one as they have opted for two DIMMs as opposed to four. The DDR4-2133 15-15-15-36-2T kit retails for ~$175 and has forgone heatspreaders, not a major problem as they are generally only useful for those who want flashy looking RAM. Unfortunately the price is a bit higher than some of the competition and from Hardware Canucks' testing the DIMMs really do not like to be overclocked. If you are still holding out on upgrading your system solely because of the price of DDR4, do a bit of shopping around as you may be in for a pleasant surprise.
"The Crucial DDR4-2133 32GB memory kit may look unassuming but its combination of huge capacity, good speeds, decent overclocking and a low price make for a perfect combination."

OCZ's Trion 100 and the Crucial BX200; these are not the drives you're looking for
Subject: Storage | December 10, 2015 - 02:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: tlc, crucial, BX200, ocz, Trion 100, ssd
Scott may have moved on but The Tech Report is still going strong and recently posted a double review covering the OCZ Trion 100 and Crucial's BX200. Al has tested out two of the Trion 100s previously, he was less than impressed with the drives performance and The Tech Report's testing revealed the same lacklustre performance. Sadly they preferred the Trion to the BX200, though perhaps not for the reason you might expect. The previous BX100 was an MLC drive which had a great price to performance ratio, it was fast and inexpensive, which lead to certain expectations for the next iteration of BX SSD. Sadly the TLC used in the new drive simply could not match the BX100's performance and so neither drive received accolades for there performance. Check out the actual performance and TR's recommendations in their full review.
"OCZ and Crucial aren't resting on the laurels of their entry-level Arc 100 and BX100 drives. Instead, they've cooked up even more attainable SSDs built with TLC flash—OCZ with its Trion 100, and Crucial with its BX200. We put these drives through their paces to see what they can do."

Tagged: ssd, SM2246EN, sata, micron, crucial, BX100, 1TB
It has been about a week since Al posted his review of the 256GB and 512GB models of the Crucial BX100 and what better way to remind you than with a review of the 1TB model, currently a mere $380 on Amazon (or only $374 on BHPhoto.com!). Hardware Canucks cracked open the 1TB budget priced consumer level SSD for your enjoyment right here, as well as running it through a gamut of tests. As expected their results are in line with the 512GB model as they both use a 4 channel controller, which does mean they are slower than some competitors drives. On the other hand the BX100 also has a significantly lower price making the 1TB model much more accessible for users. Check out their post here.
"Crucial's BX100 combines performance, endurance and value into one awesome budget-friendly SSD The best part? The 1TB version costs just $400."

Crucial's DDR4-2666 prefers 2400
Subject: General Tech | February 17, 2015 - 02:18 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: crucial, Ballistix Elite, ddr4-2666
Make sure to visit your UEFI after installing Crucial's Ballistix Elite DIMMs' as this 16GB kit defaults to the JEDEC profile of DDR4-2400 @ 16-16-16-39. One quick click later to XMP and you will hit the advertised DDR4-2666 16-17-17-36. This kit ships with the Crucial Ballistix M.O.D. utility to give you temperature readings in real time, see exactly what frequencies and timings you are running at in Windows and for those kits which sport LEDs, the ability to program a lightshow. Hardware Canucks spend some time overclocking this kit and found the best performance to be with DDR4-2750 @ 12-12-12-26-1T. It is a good kit of DDR4 but remember it will cost you, in this case about $335.
"Enthusiasts have been waiting for Crucial's Ballistix Elite to hit the market and it is everything we could have wanted; overclocking headroom, performance and a lifetime warranty...it's all here."

Introduction, Specifications and Packaging
Micron's Crucial brand has been cranking out some great low cost SSDs for the past several years now. While their early drives pushed into the SATA 6Gb/sec interface before most of the competition, their performance was inconsistent and lagged behind some of the other more nimble solutions available at that time. This pattern was broken around the time of the M550 and MX100 launches. Those two drives were heavily competitive in performance and even moreso in pricing. Actually the pricing is probably the bigger story - when they launched, one of our readers caught a 512GB MX100 on sale for $125 ($0.24/GB)! We are coming up on a year since the MX100, and at CES 2015 Micron launched a pair of SSD models - the BX100 and MX200. Today we are going to look at the BX100 series:
Crucial aims to make the BX100 as their lowest cost/GB SSD ever - even cheaper than the MX100. Since Micron makes the flash, the best way to drive costs down is to use a lower cost controller. The Silicon Motion SM2246EN is cheaper to procure than the equivalent Marvell part, yet still performs rather well.
The Silicon Motion SM2246EN SSD controller
This is a great controller, as we have seen in our prior review of the ADATA SP610, Corsair Neutron LX, and Angelbird SSD WRK. From the specs, we can see that Micron has somehow infused their variant with increased write speeds even though it appears to use the same flash as those competing models listed above. We'll see how this plays out as the review progresses.

CES 2015: Crucial launches new MX200, BX100 SSDs, intros Storage Executive
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 9, 2015 - 03:21 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: Storage Executive, SM2246EN, MX200, Dynamic Write Acceleration, DWA, crucial, CES 2014, CES, BX100
At CES, I took a trip to the LVCC to be briefed us on a pair of new Crucial SSD models:
The new MX200 is an evolution of the previous MX100 line, with the most notable addition being Dynamic Write Acceleration. DWA can flip dies between SLC and MLC mode on-the-fly, and is detailed in our previous write-up of the Crucial M600 SSD. While the performance was a bit inconsistent in our M600 review, there have likely been improvements if Crucial is putting this feature into their mainstream consumer line. Also interesting is how Crucial intends to package this product in mSATA and M.2 form factors - these have historically been reserved for their higher end M550 line and were not available in the MX100.
Another addition is the BX100. For this drive, Crucial has decided on the Silicon Motion 2246EN, which should be able to let them get the costs lower than what is possible with the Marvell controller. As a budget targeted model, this one will only be available in the 2.5" SATA form factor. Below are the briefed specs from these two products;
Another addition is a software solution dubbed 'Crucial Storage Executive'. This is basically their 'Toolbox' solution and handles reporting of S.M.A.R.T. data as well as firmware updates. Crucial has chosen to go the unique route of configuring this tool as a background service that is accessed through a web browser on the host system (most competing solutions are a standalone application).
The best part of this launch is the pricing. Crucial SSDs have always been highly cost competitive, but look at that launch pricing on the BX100:
That's $0.40/GB for what looks to be a very decent SSD. These two models are set to ship Q1 2015, so we'll likely see them within the next month or so.
The full press blast for these pair of SSD releases appears after the break.

Micron launches M600 SATA SSD with innovative SLC/MLC Dynamic Write Acceleration
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | September 16, 2014 - 02:29 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: ssd, slc, sata, mlc, micron, M600, crucial
You may already be familiar with the Micron Crucial M550 line of SSDs (if not, familiarize yourself with our full capacity roundup here). Today Micron is pushing their tech further by releasing a new M600 line. The M600's are the first full lineup from Micron to use their 16nm flash (previously only in their MX100 line). Aside from the die shrink, Micron has addressed the glaring issue we noted in our M550 review - that issue being the sharp falloff in write speeds in lower capacities of that line. Their solution is rather innovative, to say the least.
Recall the Samsung 840 EVO's 'TurboWrite' cache, which gave that drive a burst of write speed during short sustained write periods. The 840 EVO accomplished this by each TLC die having a small SLC section of flash memory. All data written passed through this cache, and once full (a few GB, varying with drive capacity), write speed slowed to TLC levels until the host system stopped writing for long enough for the SSD to flush the cached data from SLC to TLC.
The Micron M600 SSD in 2.5" SATA, MSATA, and M.2 form factors.
Micron flips the 'typical' concept of caching methods on its head. It does employ two different types of flash writing (SLC and MLC), but the first big difference is that the SLC is not really cache at all - not in the traditional sense, at least. The M600 controller, coupled with some changes made to Micron's 16nm flash, is able to dynamically change the mode of each flash memory die *on the fly*. For example, the M600 can place most of the individual 16GB (MLC) dies into SLC mode when the SSD is empty. This halves the capacity of each die, but with the added benefit of much faster and more power efficient writes. This means the M600 would really perform more like an SLC-only SSD so long as it was kept less than half full.
As you fill the SSD towards (and beyond) half capacity, the controller incrementally clears the SLC-written data, moving that data onto dies configured to MLC mode. Once empty, the SLC die is switched over to MLC mode, effectively clearing more flash area for the increasing amount of user data to be stored on the SSD. This process repeats over time as the drive is filled, meaning you will see less SLC area available for accelerated writing (see chart above). Writing to the SLC area is also advantageous in mobile devices, as those writes not only occur more quickly, they consume less power in the process:
For those worst case / power user scenarios, here is a graph of what a sustained sequential write to the entire drive area would look like:
Realize this is not typical usage, but if it happened, you would see SLC speeds for the first ~45% of the drive, followed by MLC speeds for another 10%. After the 65% point, the drive is forced to initiate the process of clearing SLC and flipping dies over to MLC, doing so while the host write is still in progress, and therefore resulting in the relatively slow write speed (~50 MB/sec) seen above. Realize that in normal use (i.e. not filling the entire drive at full speed in one go), garbage collection would be able to rearrange data in the background during idle time, meaning write speeds should be near full SLC speed for the majority of the time. Even with the SSD nearly full, there should be at least a few GB of SLC-mode flash available for short bursts of SLC speed writes.
This caching has enabled some increased specs over the prior generation models:
Note the differences in write speeds, particularly in the lower capacity models. The 128GB M550 was limited to 190MB/sec, while the M600 can write at 400MB/sec in SLC mode (which is where it should sit most of the time).
We'll be testing the M600 shortly and will come back with a full evaluation of the SSD as a whole and more specifically how it handles this new tech under real usage scenarios.
Full press blast after the break.

Austin, TXUSA
July 13, 2013
Some of the fondest memories my husband and I have are of camping with our respective families. His camping usually included a camper of some sort, which I tease him about, because when I camped with my father it was sleeping bags on dirt, a tent was an added luxury. We bought a tent a few years ago and haven't used it, because of our unfamiliarity with camping in central Texas. I am excited to get out under the stars with this group. :)
As a kid roughing it was all I knew. Use a branch from a tree to cook your hot dog, bathing was something you did when you got home, and "go behind a bush" was my day's motto. Now that I am a bit older, I do enjoy some creature comforts, a toilet perhaps, clean water for face and hand washing rather than lake water, but I think I can still rough it with the best of 'em.
Yes. Inara's favorite activity is swimming, and getting out in the great outdoors would do her some good. She's a sweet girl who loves people.
Just the fur baby mentioned above.
Hello all! I'm Erin and I currently live in Harker Heights. TX, but am originally from El Paso. I'm married with two fur babies. My husband and I both work in education, and are pretty easy going people.
