|Dell puts its Enterprise Hard Drive offerings through a rigorous validation process before they are ever considered as additions to its line of PowerVault storage systems and PowerEdge servers. Only the very best drives meeting exacting specifications such as those for performance, duty cycles, Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) and rotational vibration necessary for an enterprise-level environment are accepted for customer usage.
|In order to provide ongoing support, Dell provides a patented online firmware update capability via the Dell Update Package (DUP). The DUP process translates to less downtime due to firmware maintenance updates.
|Types of drives and best fits:
|To further classify peripheral storage offerings, hard drives come in several varieties individually designed to address differing customer needs. These include
|SSD: Enterprise-class solid-state drives fastest storage medium for random I/O (input/output). Also known as Tier-0.
|SAS: 10K and 15K SAS drives
|Also known as Tier-1, these 10K and 15K rpm Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives provide the online enterprise performance and availability needed for mission-critical applications. The dual-port point-to-point SAS interface provides:
|SATA: Nearline SAS and Enterprise SATA drives
|Also known as Tier-2, these nearline, business-critical 5.4K and 7.2K rpm drives combine specific design and manufacturing processes for hard drives rated at 24x7x365 operations for true enterprise duty cycles. The main emphasis is on an exceptional dollars/gigabyte advantage over Tier-1 storage. This drive classification includes:
|Dell enterprise solid-state drives
|Dell's solid-state drive portfolio
|Dell offers different solid-state drive (SSD) solutions to meet different customer needs. Enterprise SSDs as a class are unique to client or consumer-based SSD in terms of reliability, performance and architecture. While consumer-based SSDs, such as those utilized in notebooks are designed with a focus on consumer-based workloads, rigidity and battery life, enterprise-class SSDs are designed around enterprise application I/O (input/output) requirements with the primary attribute focus being on random I/O performance and reliability.
|Dell enterprise solid-state drive attributes
|Understanding the basics of enterprise-class SSDs allow customers to measure apples-to-apples when comparing solutions.
|SLC vs MLC: SLC stands for single-level cell and references the number of information bits that can be stored in each cell of flash memory. For SLC this is one bit per cell. MLC stands for multilevel cell and can store multiple bits of information per cell. SLC-based Flash has a write endurance capability roughly 10X of what MLC Flash is capable of. Today, Dell PowerEdge, EqualLogic and Dell EMC SSD solutions utilize SLC-based Flash.
|Over-provisioning: The Achilles' heel of SSD are their write performance. To rewrite an area of an SSD that has already been written, the data must be erased and then written. In order to overcome a portion of the write performance penalty, Dell enterprise SSD found across Dell PowerEdge, EqualLogic and Dell EMC, all employ a practice known as over-provisioning of Flash. This practice keeps native Flash capacity beyond the user-defined capacity, and utilizes the additional space as a scratch pad of sorts to quickly put down application write data on areas of Flash that are already in an erased state. The SSDs perform cleanup functions of this over-provisioned Flash space during time periods typically not impacting application performance.
|SSD solutions throughout Dell's enterprise
|Dell blade server: SATA Repeater + SSD without Hardware RAID support: This solution is targeted at transactional applications where the SSD is utilized as a method of increasing system performance over hard disk drives (HDDs) by providing a higher-speed, lower-power alternative for applications used as swap space, indexing or other transactional data. This SSD solution also offers a low-power boot drive option for blades.
|Dell blade server: Modular PERCi RAID Controller + SSD with Hardware RAID support: Available in both 1/2 height and full-height blade servers, this PERC-enabled blade SSD solution is targeted primarily as tier-0 storage for application environments accessing randomly stored data where the time-to-data is a must.
|Dell 11G rack and tower servers: PERCi RAID Controller + SSD with Hardware RAID support: Dell's 11G rack and tower servers provide for a true multi-tiered storage environment. The ability to create and manage multiple RAID sets on a single server allows customers to define how they allocate high-speed SSD storage versus slower, but more dollar-per-gigabyte friendly traditional SAS or Serial ATA (SATA) rotating media-based hard drives.
|Dell EqualLogic storage arrays: SSDs-enabled acceleration: Dell EqualLogic PS6000 Series storage arrays offer ultrafast SSD solutions aimed at high I/O applications such as virtualization and online transaction processing (OLTP) applications resulting in up to 75 percent improvement in transaction throughput and up to a 60 percent improvement in response times.
|Dell's SSD solution portfolio empowers customers to pick the performance-and-cost solution best suited for their enterprise .
|10K and 15K SAS drives
|Summary for Enterprise 10K and 15K SAS
|SAS hard drives are true dual-port full duplex capable devices. This means that both ports on a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drive can simultaneously send or receive data (host dependent). Available in 2.5" and 3.5" form factors, SAS hard drives rotating at 10,000 and 15,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) are known as tier-1, online and mission-critical devices. SAS drives at 10K and 15K offer the highest reliability of the Dell enterprise hard drive offerings at a 1.6 million hours MTBF (mean time between failure) rating. Also described as traditional enterprise, 10K and 15K SAS drives deliver the highest performance plus the highest reliability available in a rotating media storage device from Dell.
|These 10K and 15K SAS drives are developed for the exacting requirements of speed and reliability due in mission-critical applications. In order to achieve this level of performance there are multiple features of these drives that provide an advantage over the tier-2 class used in business-critical applications. These frequently include:
|These are just some of the features allowing these drives to have a better reliability (1.6 million hours MTBF) and higher performance than their tier-2 cousins.
|Available in both PowerEdge servers and PowerVault enclosures, Dell's SAS interface and SAS hard drives are the successors to the SCSI and SCSI hard drives previously found in the enterprise. The key difference is that SAS is a point-to-point interface whereas SCSI was a bus-based interface. Pont-to-point means each device has its own full-bandwidth connection, based on each specific drive/controller, match up in capabilities as opposed to a bus-based interface where the entire set of devices on a bus would have to negotiate down to the slowest device. Today's SAS drives transfer data at rates at 3 gigabit per second, moving to as high as 6 gigabit per second in December 2009.
|Dell SAS drives also have controlled firmware that has been specifically developed and tested for compatibility with select Dell RAID controllers delivering high reliability along with the assurance of compatibility for your information. Combined with the DUP, hard drive firmware can be updated on most hard drives without taking down the storage subsystem. Less downtime means higher productivity.
|Nearline SAS and Enterprise SATA:
|Summary for Nearline SAS
Dell's nearline Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), available in PowerEdge servers and PowerVault enclosures, is an enterprise hard drive combining the head, media and rotational speed of traditional enterprise-class Serial ATA (SATA) drives with the fully capable SAS interface typical of 10K/15K rpm SAS drives. These features provide a clear edge over enterprise SATA drives.
|While SAS 10K and 15K rpm online hard drives are primarily used for applications considered mission-critical and needing data readily available, nearline refers to data that is one step removed from the fastest access online data but still critical to business operations. Nearline SAS and enterprise SATA together represent the tier-2 classification of hard drive storage.
|Enterprise SATA and nearline SAS drives both offer the dollar-per-gigabyte advantage of tier-2 storage. Nearline SAS has advantages over SATA in terms of connectivity and performance. External storage environments cannot easily utilize SATA drives due to the signal integrity issues associated with SATA drives, as they are placed farther and farther away from the nearest interconnect. To address the signal integrity issues, often an interposer is included. In addition to addressing the signal integrity issues, most interposers also add in the functionality of an additional port, or connection to the drive, for failover purposes. Nearline SAS drives already have the signal integrity required for external storage along with dual ports capable of full-duplex operation (where supported by the controller). Because nearline SAS already has these features natively, it allows the elimination of the additional interconnect of the interposer.
Where host-based server storage is the application, nearline SAS still offers benefits over enterprise SATA. Nearline SAS has the processing power typically found on higher-end tier-1 10K and 15K rpm SAS drives. This processing power combined with the efficiencies of SAS around queuing technology, allows for up to a 30% improvement in performance for nearline SAS drives when operating in random I/O (input/output) environments.
|Summary for enterprise SATA
|Dell's enterprise SATA solution, found in PowerEdge servers and PowerVault enclosures, is a SATA interface for hard drives featuring specific design and manufacturing processes enabling 24x7x365 operations and 1.2 million hours MTBF within an enterprise environment.
|Why enterprise SATA over consumer SATA
|Enterprise SATA drives offer similar dollar-per-gigabyte advantages as consumer SATA for tier-2 storage while also providing key design and process enhancements to allow for successful integration with specific Dell RAID controllers as part of Dell's server and storage solutions. Typical SATA drives commonly found in the consumer, desktop and notebook arena lack the design and reliability characteristics required for the more strenuous enterprise environment. These consumer (or client)-grade hard drives are typically rated at around 550K hours MTBF (mean time between failures) and not rated for 24x7x365 usage. While these consumer-grade drives are typically OK to utilize as boot devices, their capability to perform within the enterprise is limited. enterprise SATA drives are designed with reliability and compatibility in mind. Enterprise SATA drives are rated for 24x7x365 operation, have Dell developed and certified firmware to ensure compatibility within Dell servers and storage, and also are typically equipped with rotational vibration circuitry to allow for the adjacencies of multiple drives, servers and storage enclosures common within the enterprise.
|Dell Update Package (DUP) support is now available on select enterprise SATA hard drives. DUP allows for hard drive firmware to be updated without taking down the storage subsystem. Less downtime means higher productivity.

Lamentations 3:23 (NLT) "Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. "They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
Daily Scripture Blog
God you are awesome. Thank you for all you've done for me. I have so much to be grateful for. I am overjoyed by your works and your faithfulness.
Thank you Lord.
I had an angelic encounter today. Lord I thank you for Gustavo. "Angel in a wheelchair". My car was down and out. My tires were flat and while waiting on him I mentioned I have no idea how I was getting home.
He asked why? I told him. Not thinking that he would be the one to help.
Again being a human I was looking on the "outward appearance and physical capabilities".
Need I say anything more my tyres have been replaced totally free.
God you sent help just in time. You are a on-time God.
I pray for Gustavo's healing and deliverance.
Father I pray that because of his obedience he will know no evil, no sorrow and no disappointment. I pray that peace and help will be his daily portion from you. I pray that he will be planted and anchored in you and that he will be a force to be reckoned with because of the supernatural unlimited favor that will be upon him. Release wisdom in his life. Amen

"What's at the heart of content marketing?"
"Why does content marketing make sense for me?"
"How do I do it well?"
Chances are, you're asking yourself one or, indeed, all of the above questions. And that is why I have decided to join Forrester's Marketing Leadership research team as a senior analyst.
I've been working with content marketing since 1998, well before it was called content marketing, and most recently at an agency that specialized in it, Velocity Partners. Before that, I helped major Scandinavian brands like Kongsberg and ABB understand how to weave content marketing in their marketing strategy and mix.
Every time I discuss content marketing with practitioners, two observations regularly surface:
1. It's very powerful. The idea of doing marketing that customers want, that they even seek out, is enticing. It can create a virtuous cycle that makes everything else (social media, email marketing, events and campaigns) much more effective. Red Bull is the consumer brand poster boy for this, but companies as diverse as GE, Hubspot, American Express, Ford and IBM are also doing it well.
2. It's very difficult. Most brands have very little experience making content that customers want and seek out. Producing great content-driven experiences, repeatedly, over time and with a limited budget, that deliver visible value for customers and prospects, and that drive business outcomes for the brand, is hard. It's particularly hard for marketers accustomed to a product-benefit or brand benefit frame of thinking, and the big bang ad campaigns that go with it.

I have just made a purchase of 5 yards, "greyish" tackle twill from Websters.
They are selling it to me for $6.06 per yard, plus shipping. I do not know what the shipping will be yet. I am going with Fed Ex ground.
Here is a link to their website.
You can call in to order, should you decide to. It is probably possible to get a swatch. If I remember right "greyish" is the color of choice of "those who know" on these boards.
If you are going to make your own vest, 1 yard would be enough for a vest and a neckseal, if you intend to line the vest with a different material. This is what I do. I prefer a lighter weight cotton for the lining, for comfort.
I do not have any intentions of buying material and parting it out, but I wanted to post my source, should some of you want to buy tackle twill.
Carole and I are planning to sew some more Fett related soft parts, but I must let you know that we have a long long waiting list and we do not produce very fast. I wish we could help more of the TDH members, but it is just not possible to do more than we do. Please know there is no preferential treatment, we do our best to abide by "first come first serve" but we do reserve the right to sew for our family and friends. We have lots of requests, just within our respective families.
My reason for stating this is to make sure no one feels like they have been neglected or given preference.
If anyone has any questions at all, feel free to PM me. If you are sewing projects for yourself and have questions, LMK. There are times when I am very busy and may not return PM's right away, but I will do my best to get back to anyone who contacts me.
Thank you to everyone for the support and help I have been given here at TDH.

A defendant in the federal case against the developers of Seven Falls pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and agreed to work with authorities in the ongoing investigation, according to a deal approved in U.S. District Court on Monday.
ASHEVILLE — A defendant in the federal case against the developers of Seven Falls pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and agreed to work with authorities in the ongoing investigation, according to a deal approved in U.S. District Court on Monday.
Andrew Quinn Hager, who is free on $25,000 unsecured bond, faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on the conspiracy charge, according to court records. No date for his sentencing has been set, according to the U.S. Clerk of Court's Office.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis Howell ordered Hager of Hendersonville to have no contact with any of his co-defendants or with any possible victims and pre-trial witnesses in the case.
Prosecutors say that Hager conspired with co-defendants to defraud banks in a scheme known as the "lot loan program" in a bill of information filed in Asheville's U.S. District Court on Feb. 26.
"As part of the scheme, the conspirators would solicit loans secured by undeveloped Seven Falls lots (both in their own names and in the names of those they recruited) from several different federally-insured banks. While the loans would appear to the banks as if they were traditional loans to individuals purchasing lots in Seven Falls," they were in fact "short-term financing for Seven Falls and its developer, (Keith) Vinson, who was unable to take out additional loans," according to the bill.
On Dec. 14, Seven Falls developer Keith Arthur Vinson entered a plea of not guilty to multiple federal counts, including wire fraud and misapplication of bank funds, through his lawyer. A jury trial for Vinson and five other defendants has been delayed by several continuances, and the next scheduled start date is April 23 in U.S. District Court.
All of the defendants except Hager have pleaded not guilty to what prosecutors say was a scheme to prop up the struggling 1,400-acre Seven Falls golf course community just south of Etowah. The development was announced with much fanfare in the summer of 2007, but work on the project stopped in early 2010.
Named as defendants are Vinson; real estate investor and private money lender Avery Ted "Buck" Cashion III of Lake Lure; real estate and private money lender Raymond "Ray" Chapman of Brevard; former president of Pisgah Community Bank Thomas "Ted" Durham of Fletcher; Certified Public Accountant George M. Gabler; and Certified Real Estate Appraiser Aaron Ollis.
The bill of information alleges that the conspirators applied for 25 loans from six banks from April 2008 through July 2008. "These loans generally were interest-only, two-year loans, with the principal due in full at the expiration of two years," according to the bill.
As part of the scheme, prosecutors say Hager and another man applied for and received a $637,500 loan for a Seven Falls lot from the Bank of Asheville that closed on July 22, 2008.
"The purported sale price was $850,000 for this undeveloped lot, but Vinson offered a 25 percent 'purchase credit,' " according to the bill, to appear to meet the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s 75 percent "loan to value" requirement.
The credit allowed the conspirators to avoid putting any money down on the loans, according to prosecutors.
"Vinson promised to buy back the lot from Hager after two years," according to the bill. "Hager overstated his income significantly in order to appear to qualify for the loan. Although Hager promised Bank of Asheville that he would repay the loan, he did not intend to do so. Instead, he served as a straw borrower for Vinson and his codefendants, and none of his own money was used to repay the loan.
"Vinson continued to market and sell these seemingly 'sold' lots as developer's inventory. The conspirators agreed that if any of the 'sold' lots were later purchased by bona fide buyers that all of the proceeds of such sales would be applied to other lot loans," prosecutors said in the bill.
"While verbal agreements with lot loan borrowers included the unconditional promise that Vinson would repurchase the lots after two years, the sales agreements contained different buy-back provisions — depending on the contract — in which Vinson had the option of repurchasing these lots after two years" before the loan principal came due, according to the bill. "Vinson agreed to pay co-conspirators who made these loans 1-2 percent of each loan's balance per month as consideration of taking on the loans."
The bill says that conspirators allowed "lending banks to rely on false and outdated financial statements that omitted the total amount of the borrowers' debts and inflated the value of their assets," including the omission of other lot loans from other banks.
While they cooked the books, Ollis filed "false and misleading appraisal reports," according to prosecutors.

Well, Somehow I made it.
I remember back freshman year in Calculus two think WTF have i got myself into. Now... that was a joke. Finally scheduled my final semester.
Currently a 3.5 overall GPA and a 3.85 Major GPA.
That being said i know automotive and motosport design is probably the most persude jobs in Mechanical Engineering.
Anyone hear an ME? Did you persue a job in the industry?
I have 50 resumes right now sitting beside my basically asking for an unpaid summer internship at every single race team (top fuel, alc, pro stock, ama motocross, nascar, chassis builders, engine builders, performance aftermarket part manufactures. EVERYTHING)within a 300 mile radius.
Only connections I have is my uncle is in marketing at hendrick racing and my good family friend is very good friends with Ron Capps, party with him every year at Maple Grove. So i dont really have much of an "in"... at all.
How can i make myself more marketable? Ill move on my dime, sweep floors for free and be a parts ***** just to get a foot in the door at some of these places.
Its pretty much all i want to do.

|So i recieved a vacuum modulater inner valve today and popped it in. Problem solved. There was not one there originally when we rebuilt it so one didnt go back. Can you say inexperianced, lol. Thanks for all of your help fellas.
|chuck M
|Ok so i just talked to a trans shop and I think we figured it out. I have heard of people taking the springs out behind the vacumm module so when i saw nothing there when i had the pan off last night I didn't think much of it. What i didn't pay attention to was that there was no valve there either. Stupid mistake on my part but thats what you get when you are inexperienced as I'am. I have a valve on the way and am crossing my fingers. Love learning the hard way. I will repost once i have installed the vacuum module valve.
|chuck M
|Ok guys i installed the transgo kit and it changed absolutely nothing. I am stumped. Detent is set properly and still no downshift. still shifts at the same point no matter if im just easing on the throttle or wot. Driving me nuts. Any ideas?
|good luck the purpose of the springs is to provide smother shifts
|chuck M
|Yeah the 1-2 acumulater spring in the side of the case is already out and i was going to take out the 2-3 in the valve body as well. I didnt know that the spring in the 2-3 in the valve body could be left out on the first go around. i can definetly tell a difference between 1-2 shift firmness from 2-3 because that spring is not there. I feel alot more confident this time in taking the valve body off due to research on this site, before i relied on my buddies knowledge which when i asked "what does this do " he replied "I dont know". this forum is awesome. Thank you
|couple things to do while apart remove the gov filter it a small thimble at the rear of the case under the seperator plate if your wwanting firmer shifts remove the spring in the valve body under the pliston held on with a e clip and the spring in the side of the case combined with the kit that makes a 350 work great
|chuck M
|Thank you very much for your responses. I ordered the shift kit and will check the separator gaskets. I will have another chance at the gaskets if they are in fact backwards with this kit. As soon as the kit comes in i will post my findings. Thanks guys
|Is it possible you installed the valve body - separator gaskets backwards?
|id try another governer thats never been altered remove the spring from the modulator valve pick up a trns go sk 350 kit there cheap and give u springs and appilacton chart i use them on all rebuilds less than 40.00 pn sk 350 from trans go

T-350 problems
Hello, Was wondering if anybody could shed light on this problem i'm having with my th350. Just rebuilt the trans it's a non lockup. Installed a new vac modulator. Truck drives and shifts but it shifts really early at low speeds. I turned the screw in inside the end of the vac mod and not much if anything happened. I then removed one spring from the governor and test drove. It shifted later so i think im going to get a governor kit from B&M to tune the shifts where i want them. Finally to my prob, i installed a new detent cable and adjusted it properly with my foot on the pedal at wot. The cable is pulling correctly but the trans wont downshift at any speed at wot. I even went as far as to pull the cable up through a hole in the floor and pulled it by hand while driving and nothing. the valve was free in the valve body when i just had it off and i can feel it open and close when i pull the cable. LOST

I was thinking of starting with this game?
I havent read much about it, but the reviews i've seen gives good rates.
But too little info for me to actualy try it,
So i wanted to hear from the players of this game.
What is in the game? what is it about?
is there any dungeons to go in?
pluss i heard it gets p2p after lvl 20?
I'll look back on the thread to check replies, but for now, laterz ;>
still no replies, i take it that the game is not worth to play since people dont have opinions or know'a'lot about it.
yeah, i tryed to download it, 6 hours download ?
, i also tryed flashget, but it didnt help at all, only downloaded a 36kb file which was useless.

Mlp, someday, I will just come visit you and have her whomp me up some foundation.
i need to bid on skate america
I really need to go over to Buffallo for a day, even if just to Target and Ulta. Now I feel I should buy a new blush brush. I'm finding my cream blushes look more glowy and natural for days when I'm not wearing powder. I just want to find one that isn't so light pink, but with their consistency being so different, I'm not so adventurous with colour.
I'm obsessed with blush at the moment while I try to figure out which one I like best to wear on my wedding day. I was all set with Orgasm, but now I'm thinking it's too shimmery. Any suggestions are welcome! I loved Princess Katherine's blush on her wedding day, all glowy and youthful, but I'm not sure I can carry off such a light pink.
I'm in love with my HD Foundation, so I hope it works out for you. I honestly can layer it and not feel like I'm wearing much at all, even when topped with my Clinique powder. I didn't wear foundation for years because it felt so heavy on. And another Buxom convert!
My friend bought Benefit's new "They're Real" mascara, and it's amazing. I think it'll be my new splurge come birthday time. I tried it and was blown away. My Super Shock by Avon is a pretty good lower price dupe for now, though.
Meet up!! I need to go to IKEA before the end of the year, as well as Shoppers Drugmart to pick up Bioderma Crealine.
Wait. Buffalo is a world-renowned site for beauty products??
Andora, my make up artist and photographer both told me not to wear any make up that's too shimmery and reflective. So you are right, Orgasm may be too shimmery for the wedding.
It is for Canadians. My aunt and uncle go there all the time to buy everything for cheaper - and not just beauty products.
Yeah, this is the common theme I'm finding in every consult and tutorial. Now I just need to find the right colour. I'm a fan of more rosey colours, and I have this lovely physician's formula blush in Natural, and a perfect cedar rose colour, but I'm sure I'll wind up using it as an excuse to buy a new blush.
Sounds perfect. You should add a higher end Rexall to that list. They have a better selection of Bioderma.
This, pretty much. We don't have Target, Ulta, etc. etc. Shoppers Drug Mart carries the same 5-6 drug store brand cosmetic lines, and that's it unless you go elsewhere. Buffallo is just the closest border shopping area. Growing up, we shopped in Michigan when visiting family.
I'm at the other end of the lake. I do Syracuse.
We have Canadians from Winnipeg come down to the MOA all the time--they say there is like a 50% markup on beauty supplies there. Insane.
I go to Virginia to buy cigarettes, where a carton costs $24 less than in DC. I guess it's the same idea.
I've looked at makeup in Israel, since they do have some Euro stuff not available here. I was aghast at the prices -- $25 for Maybelline mascara? L'Oreal is worse. Oddly, the expensive stuff, like Clarion and Lancome, less of a price differential. But I still wouldn't buy makeup there unless I was desperate.
Huh. So the US is low-priced at something. Good to know.
I just think it's odd, considering the Canadian dollar is actually better than ours right now, and it has been for some time. Why the huge mark up? One woman told me the bottle of shampoo that she likes to get, which is $48 over here, is $70 in Canada.
I'm not complaining too much though--Canadian sales are HUGE. God bless them.
When my sister came to visit me in New York, she left with about 4 bottles of her favorite Avene face wash, because it's only $18 at Duane Read, but $40 in Colombia. She has very sensitive skin and can't use many products and that's the face wash her dermatologist recommended for her.
Of course not, but we do have Target and Ulta, which Canada does not. They don't get some of our drugstore brands. Goes both ways - Buffalo doesn't have an IKEA, and we don't get GOSH makeup.
I think the markups started because the Canadian dollar used to be so much lower than the US dollar. Now that the Canadian dollar is at par or stronger, it's ludicrous. The worst is Australia, though - they have something like a 60% markup on all cosmetics. Revlon Colorstay foundation costs $45.
Yay! I love how your drugstores carry high-end products.
This is exactly it, but that there's much here parts of the US doesn't have. IKEA is pretty awesome, I admit. But all the fun mid-brands at Target-- Pixi, the low end Napoleon Perdis, etc.-- we don't have. Or the Neutrogena makeup line, though we have all the skincare, and so on and so on. Almay, Maybelline, Revlon, Cover Girl and L'Oreal, we're well covered, and that's about all most drug stores and Walmart carry, with the odd Marcelle or Quo, but that's about it before you hit the high end lines. Most of those are now here, but when I hit about 5 different Sephoras on my '08 trip to NYC, there were a few lines that hadn't made it up here yet.
I've sent a few emails to my favourite retailers about this, Sephora included. I hate that we're still charged at the 60% rate when the dollar hasn't been NEAR that low for some time. I always get the "import/duty" excuses, and I recognize that our prices will be a touch higher when it comes to those reasons, but THIS high? It's ridiculous. Sephora also said it was dependent on what each line demanded they charge, and a few lines did charge a bit less.
But, yeah, Australia is ridiculous. I offered to bring my friend makeup when I visited. On the other hand, NYX was cheaper there than in Canada.
I got "They're Real" as a sample from Sephora awhile ago. I love it... it's my new favourite mascara.
I just bought it as well. Also, I got a sample of Pore Perfection (I think that's the name) and I really liked it. Has anyone used it regularly? Is it worth the price?
My favorite Phyto hair product is $32 in the US and only about $12 in France. I bought three when I was in Paris last year for TEB... and I'm almost out. Guess I need to go back to France.
Can someone recommend a good brush for my Makeup Forever HD Foundation? I bought the brush that was recommended with the foundation, but I wonder if a flat top brush something like this one would blend better? I've seen a few tutorials on YouTube that prefer the flat kind.
At a makeup lesson I went to recently, they used a brush AND sponge to get a great finish. The sponge would sort of smooth any problems the brush left behind. I like the effect of using a sponge, but it sucks up too much product.
(The foundation itself wound up being kind of crap on me, but it looked good for about an hour!)
I buy Phyto in Israel where for some reason it's about 1/3 off the American price. Who knows why. But I always come home with three tubes of their smoother in my luggage.
Then there's the stuff they don't sell here at all. LouLou by Cacherel is one of my all-time favorite perfumes, they have it in duty-free in Israel and Europe and nowhere here.
And musing on perfume (again) I can't justify another bottle but I am thinking that someone should give me the new Violet Blonde by Tom Ford if they really want something from me.
What's Violet Blonde like? You know I wouldn't miss an opportunity to talk perfume. I have to report that the latest permutation of my beloved Lolita Lempicka called Midnight Flower was a disappointment.
It opened quite a bit like the original which is fine but defeats the purpose of a different name. The dry down is really unfortunate--paint thinner.
I got my Sephora b-day order yesterday, but I'm not going to open the box until my actual birthday. We are going to "the big city" for my b-day dinner on Saturday night, and I'm going to stop into the Sephora store during the afternoon...not sure if I"m going to get anything, but it's fun to look.
Cherry Culture (which has NYX and Milani, among others) has a 25% off sale right now, so I made a small order this morning too.
As you can tell, I'm really good at treating myself...maybe too good?
That sounds like the same product I use - I still buy it at Sephora because a tube lasts me a long time, but paying $12 for it is much more palatable. Guess I just need to get back to Europe ASAP to fill up on hair supplies again.
Well, I seem to be squarely in the amber/vanilla/spicy line, and it fits in that category. Since I have only smelled it so far in the magazine, this weekend will include a trip to Nordstroms to walk around with it on my wrist.
Yum, I am too in the amber/vanilla/spice line, heavy on vanilla.
If you like vanilla, you have to try Lavanilla products. I am in love with the grapefruit or passion fruit, but I like a bit of citrus. They also have spice, lavendar and more....and the lotions are divine and have no parabens, etc...
Thank you, PDilemma! I've tried them and tried to love them but for some reason, could not.
Plattsburgh for Montrealers. My best friend's mom would go all the time and took us a few times when in elementary school. They'd spend hours at TJ Maxx alone.
Back then I was at the huge supermarket that also had drugstore products like cosmetics. You didn't see that in Montreal.
Even though there's discount stores like Winners and Homesense in Canada now, my mother still found stuff at Marshalls and Burlington Coat Factory this summer at prices impossible to find back home.
I have sensitive skin and mild asthma. So a lot of products bother my skin and a lot of perfumes make me cough. Their stuff does neither.
And I have to say that their citruses are better than the floral scents or spices, so if citrus is not your scent preference, they might not be a fit.

I have an 850 acre ranch 1 hour north of Houston, TX on the coveted lake creek bottoms. It is 100% flooded hardwood bottoms. We host an abundant amount of wild hogs year round. We kill hogs like clockwork. A typical hunt will consist of using dogs to bay the pigs, your choice of horses or four wheelers to ride around on, hot coffee and breakfast over a camp fire, and a cold steel spear to kill the hog with. We can accomodate parties up to 20 people and we have additional access to a 1,000 acre ranch that adjoins our property on the south end. We truly have a legit set up for you to come have a great hog hunt! The most comfortable time of year to come hunting is when the leaves are off the trees (early fall to late spring). I will also entertain squirrel hunting and coon hunting (we have more squirrels and coons than you can shake a stick at).
I am looking to make a trade for some duck hunting opportunities. I am an avid duck hunter and I am looking for some legit duck hunting land to hunt on within 1.5 hours in any direction from Tomball, TX (north Houston). I am willing to trade fully guided multiple hog/squirrel/coon/ hunts on my ranch for access to a good duck hunting hole for the 2013-2014 duck season. I would prefer duck hunting opportunities in the katy prairie or waller, brookshire, hempstead, brenham areas, but I am open to any and every good duck hunting trade idea!
You can call or text me at 281-914- one 1 nine 2 or message me on here! Thanks and we got hogs with your name on em!

Fire extinguished at National Guard facility in Groton
UPDATED: Groton — Firefighters quickly extinguished a fire that broke our this morning in a boiler at the Connecticut National Guard's 1109th Theater Aviation Sustainment Maintenance Group facility on Tower Avenue near Groton New London Airport.
The fire at the facility formerly known as the Aviation Classification and Repair Depot (AVCRAD) was reported about 9 a.m. and reported under control about 9:21 a.m.
No one was injured, and the cause of the fire is being investigated by the state fire marshall, said Capt. Jeff Douchette of the Poquonnock Bridge Fire Department, one of several departments who responded to the incident.
"We received a box alarm for the specific building and upon investigation we discovered a fire in the boiler room," Douchette said. "We were able to confine the damage to that room, secured the utilities and gas, and the fire was knocked down quickly with no injuries."
Other departments responding to the scene included the City of Groton Fire Department, Old Mystic and Mystic fire departments, the Naval Submarine Base Fire Department, and the Lawrence & Memorial paramedics.

Pestarella tyrrhena
|Pestarella tyrrhena
|Scientific classification
|P. tyrrhena
|Binomial name
|Pestarella tyrrhena
(Petagna, 1792)
|Synonyms [1]
Pestarella tyrrhena (formerly Callianassa tyrrhena) is a species of thalassinidean crustacean (ghost shrimp or mud shrimp) which grows to a length of 70 mm (2.8 in). It lives in burrows in shallow sandy parts of the sea-bed in the Mediterranean Sea and northern Atlantic Ocean. It is the most common thalassinidean in the Mediterranean,[2] and has been used as bait by fishermen for at least 200 years.[3]
P. tyrrhena is a small crustacean, up to 70 millimetres (2.8 in) long,[3] with a soft exoskeleton apart from two large, unequal claws. It is whitish or greenish-grey, with pink or blue spots.[4] Because of its burrowing lifestyle, P. tyrrhena has small eyes on short stalks, and its maxillipeds can form an operculum; the telson is very short, and the rostrum is almost entirely absent.[4]
Larval development is rapid and involves few stages. Eggs hatch into a zoeal stage, which is followed by a second zoea and then a megalopa stage before adulthood. This rapid development allows the larvae to settle down into their adult habitat of relatively undisturbed muddy substrates,[2] before they have travelled too far as planktonic larvae. Larval development is retarded by low salinities and aided by warmer temperatures, giving P. tyrrhena a shorter reproductive season in the north of its range than in the south.[5]
Distribution and ecology[edit]
P. tyrrhena was first described from the Tyrrhenian Sea,[3] and is found throughout the Mediterranean as well as in the Atlantic Ocean from Mauritania and the Canary Islands north to Ireland, in the Kattegat, and in the North Sea as far as southern Norway.[1] Related species occur in the Black Sea,[3] and P. tyrrhena avoids water of low salinity, such as estuaries and the Baltic Sea.[3]
The burrows of P. tyrrhena may be up to 62 centimetres (24 in) deep. They comprise a spiral central shaft up to 20 mm wide, with one or more shallow U–shaped shafts (up to 11 mm or 0.43 in wide) which lead to the surface of the sediment where they emerge as holes or funnel–shaped depressions. These shafts may be linked by further sections, and a number of side–chambers are found filled with seagrass. The overall volume of the burrow may reach 300 millilitres (11 imp fl oz; 10 US fl oz).[6] New tunnels are continually opened and old ones filled in.[7] P. tyrrhena feeds directly on the sediment,[7] and receives nutrition from the debris collected in the debris chambers, as well as from the foraminiferans and algae which live on the walls of the burrow.[8] The activity of P. tyrrhena leads the walls of the burrow to be enriched with three times the ambient number of nematodes and more than 100 times the number of foraminiferans in the surrounding sediments.[9]
P. tyrrhena is parasitised by the isopod Ione thoracica and the barnacle Parthenopea subterranea.[10]

Spent about 30 min installing front O2 sensor on my 02 WRX sedan.
Tools you need:
socket wrench
10mm and 12 mm sockets
22mm O2 sensor removal tool ($9.99 from autozone)
Two zip ties unless you know ways to remove crappy zip ties from the bracket.
New Denso O2 sensor (~$150-160)
Please note that I am going to skip many basic stuff such as removing wheel, bolts, etc...
1. FR wheel removed:
2. Locate this mudguard and proceed to remove it to expose O2 sensor.
3. Remove O2 sensor using 22mm O2 sensor removal tool
4. Locate harness located near boost control solenoid and disconnect it
5. Take this bold off, which will free up the bracket attached to the O2 sensor wire. There are two plastic clips that hold O2 sensor wire. If you have changed spark plugs, you may have wondered what the purpose of this bracket is...
6. Proceed to remove O2 sensor and bracket/harness from the bottom. O2 sensor shown here (new vs. old).
Now, put everything back in reverse order. Now, think about what to do with $200+ you saved by doing it yourself.

Jenny Daltry

Jenny Daltry slashes her way through Cambodia's thick rain forest, treading carefully. Venomous snakes slither underfoot. A virulent strain of malaria that resists most treatments and kills in 24 hours is prevalent. Entire areas are laced with land mines left by the Khmer Rouge. "Fieldwork," Daltry says with a smile, "is my favorite part."
Saving endangered species has taken her to 20 countries, primarily unexplored corners of South and Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.
"I've been really lucky to go to some of the most unspoiled places on the planet," she says. "When you're the first scientist to see a particular river or mountain, or to identify a new species, it's a real adventure."
Daltry's conservation efforts focus on species she calls "unpopular." "Endangered snakes, frogs, and crocodiles are not everyone's favorites," she explains. "They have a special need for attention."
A prime example of such an effort to save an unpopular species is the Siamese Crocodile Project, which Daltry oversees for the worldwide conservation organization Fauna & Flora International.
"In 2000 I was asked to do a biological survey of Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains, an area that had been a stronghold of the Khmer Rouge. It was like a lost world, closed to outsiders until that year, an area of nearly untouched rain forests and wildlife with no roads or access. Our team walked hundreds of miles conducting the first-ever biodiversity study to help decide if it should be protected or if it could all be logged. We identified hundreds of new species and found a small population of Siamese crocodiles."
Thought to be effectively extinct in the wild due to habitat loss and hunting, the 150 Siamese crocodiles discovered by Daltry's team are the single largest known population left in the wild.
Findings from the survey helped prove the area's biological value, led to the protection of more than 1.5 million hectares, and helped forged agreements with local communities.
"The health of both humans and wildlife depends upon looking after these watersheds, rivers, and forests," Daltry notes, "and the Siamese crocodile is crucial to the whole ecosystem. They dig out the marshes, keeping water there even during the dry season, giving other animals a water source. Today, in areas where the crocodiles have disappeared, sediment has built up and the marshes are dry and dead. A few years ago, nobody in Cambodia thought these crocodiles were anything special. Now they're seen as a priority."
On the other side of the world, the Antiguan Racer Conservation Project, co-founded by Daltry, shares similar success. Called the rarest snake in the world, the harmless Antiguan racer was isolated on a tiny island in the West Indies, its critically endangered status virtually unknown.
"A lot of people told me to give up," Daltry recalls. "There were only 50 snakes left, probably all inbred, and no one in Antigua liked them. Yet over the last few years, we've really been able to promote them. I spent about 400 nights camping on the island with the snakes, understanding them, finding out what they needed and what their threats were. Today, people care so much about them they're on the phone cards and stamps here, every school kid learns about them, and their habitat has been protected as a national park. We've reintroduced them to other islands, and they now number more than 200."
In every project, Daltry emphasizes the need to be flexible and adapt to the local economy, culture, and history.
"It's their country and wildlife," she notes. "So you must make sure communities are involved and benefit. For example, while we work to protect the Siamese crocodiles, we also help local farmers find alternatives to destroying the marsh."
Daltry's passion bloomed early. As a child in a rural English village, she accumulated a menagerie of lizards, frogs, and snakes. "I enjoyed showing them to people and watching their reactions. They're not everyone's cup of tea."
At age 18 she traveled to India to work on a crocodile farm that bred snakes. "One day they asked if I wanted to learn how to handle venomous snakes, and I said sure. So they gave me a little stick and put me in a pit filled with deadly snakes I had to catch. Handling snakes is not something you learn by reading books; you just have to get in there and do it."
Her more traditional education includes a B.S. in zoology with botany and geography from Bristol University, England, and a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland.
Why does a handful of endangered species drive Daltry to endure peril and hardship?
"To me, it's symbolic. If you don't care about this particular snake, why should you care about anything else? Each one is part of a great web, and if you start picking and choosing which bits you think are important, you may find it all falling apart. I think all kids are born with an interest in wildlife. I've just never grown out of it."

text: Hey I am looking for a game similar to Yugioh Online Duel Accelerator but with 3D aspect. I am not much of a pokemon fan so lol. Also I want one that is downloadable and not browser based, with the ability to customize your own character. After all what fun is a game where you can't have your own specific look/tastes. I looked into Cardmon it didn't seem to be what I was looking for. In short I am looking for a TCG 3D Similar to Yugioh, with the ability to customize your own character and duel/battle/challenge NPCs not always another player as you run around cities/a city. If anyone has any information on this please do let me know. Also Wizards 101 not much of a fan of that style of game. For those who don't know TCG means Trading Card Game.

I decided to torture myself and my perfectionist nature and design a "female version of Boba Fett" ... Now, for obvious reasons, I can't buy a standard kit of Fett armor.
Featured in my profile pic is a concept of the costume.
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to make the armor look convincing and fit well, while still remaining in a low budget.
For now, I've been trying to work with craft foam, but it's not working as well as I had hoped. It's too angular. Not as fluid as I was hoping at all.
What would you suggest?

I know that ebay does not allow sale of guns on their site and I'm wondering if there are any good sites to buy online? Or do you pretty much just buy used guns at the local shows?
I've never bought online, but if you want to try an eBay like site for guns, try GunsAmerica and GunBroker.
I have checked them places out a lot, and unless your a collector with big bucks I have failed to see any real deals. I can buy almost anything you see there for $50 to $100 cheaper at a gun show. You got figure the FFL to FFL fee unless you got one. More than I want to pay.
I've heard good things about KY Imports and Classic Arms. The second is mostly mil-surp.
ANYTIME you buy online and/or used it is "let the buyer beware."
Be better to hit the gun shows and local shops to actually SEE and HANDLE the firearm BEFORE ya give any money:)
I know lots of guys buy on-line, but you should keep in mind. A good handgun requires some touchy, feely time. It should fit you like a glove. I would say be careful of out of sight gun purchases.
Hey thanks all for the advice, I checked out the sites in your links anyway but probably won't buy anything sight-unseen.
New question, what's the best way to find out when/where the next local gunshow will be? I'm not a member of any clubs or anything which I would imagine provide newsletters to that effect or something...
Edit: Sorry I'm such a noob :oops:
Easiest way would be to hit a couple of local shops and ask them, they should be able to tell ya when and where:)
I actually bought my P2000 from a member of the HKPro forum. It was a bit of a leap of faith - sending off a cashiers check and counting on his integrity to send the gun. But it worked fine, and the gun was hardly fired, as advertised. It is important to know the exact pistol you're buying. As noted above, you want to be sure the gun fits and feels right for you.
Then, click on your state at the top...
I bought a car off ebay six months ago. I got a good deal and it turned out to be a good car. Yes I took a big chance. I made sure the seller had a good rating et. Sometimes risk pays off.
Bought my sigpro online, for a far better deal than ever imaginable anywhere else. The gun kicked ass, and it had been hardly used just like he said, and it came with all the fancy extras that he had said it would.
Granted, you have to be a little smart; get phone numbers, etc.
And yes, you DO have to remember to factor in FFL fees and shipping and all that shit. It really can make a difference.
Where I live, the gunshows are almost entirely made up of various stores in the area, and while they may have a few lower prices on certain items(almost always Sigmas and 500s, and usually whatever the new flavour of Beretta is out), its generally the same as going into the storefront. And the store has all their stock, so there's more choice.. Leaving the gunshows pretty much a joke.
See, the Houston gunshows (the big ones) have some really great new gun prices...
i checked out those two websites, kyimports and classicguns, they are pretty awesome, does anyone know others like those? Thanks!
How about RIGHT here on handgunforum.com???? I've seen some nice guns on this board!! How 'bout it Ship,we got to look out for each other.Randall

'"That's been the biggest, to get back to playing the minutes he seems suited to, that's he's not trying to do too much, that when he gets out there he's fresh," coach Lindy Ruff said Tuesday prior to the Sabres' 4-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils inside the First Niagara Center. "His game is a lot of times energy. It's playing hard in a short period of time, and I think when we've overplayed him he's just tried too much."'

From its deep rift lakes to its pinnacle at Kilimanjaro, through the rolling plains, the "warm sea of life" of the Serengeti and some of Africa's least visited and most enchanting parks, Tanzania entices us with awe-striking beauty. Among its plentiful and varied wildlife, the country particularly stands out for its large, easily viewed populations of elephant, large cats (especially lions), wildebeest, and zebra. Travel here, especially to the remotest areas, demands the kind of astute planning we relish. Our mobile safaris take us in comfort, safety, and unassuming luxury far into the back of Tanzania's beyond, allowing us to explore seldom-seen landscapes and visit untrammeled tribal cultures.

Call Philadelphia's Guild House pedestrian, boring, or ordinary (at best), and you're unlikely to offend Robert Venturi, FAIA. In fact, you might even compliment him.
"How thrilling and sad it was to hear someone say, driving by the Guild House recently, 'You wonder what all the fuss was about,' " Venturi remarked in his essay "Guild House, Twenty-Five Years Later." "But—as we know—the design of Guild House seemed extraordinary in its time because it looked ordinary."
Commissioned by the Friends Neighborhood Guild, a Quaker social welfare agency, as low-income senior housing and completed in 1965, Guild House was Venturi's first major project. It was the architect's earliest opportunity to display the radical ideas that would appear a year after the project's completion in his "gentle manifesto" Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture.
Widely considered one of the first formal rejections of modernist ideals and a textbook example of Venturi's "decorated shed" theory—or an architecture of the ordinary—the symmetrical, six-story building is a mix of historic forms and stark commercial materials. Encased in a chain-link fence and devoid of unnecessary ornament, the exterior features dark brick and double-hung windows that echo the row houses lining the nearby streets, allowing Guild House to slide elegantly—almost unnoticed—into the context of the surrounding neighborhood. A sign with block lettering that could easily adorn a supermarket hangs over the entrance.
"I suspect that the average person would look at Guild House and say, 'What's so significant about that? It looks pretty ordinary to me,' " says John Gallery, the former head of the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia. "And that is exactly what Venturi wanted to achieve: a building that looked like you would expect a residential apartment building in a brick row house environment to look like."
Whether or not the average person appreciates Guild House's departure from the prevailing architecture of the time is of little consequence, Gallery adds. "On the other hand, remember that the owner—a Quaker organization—is composed of average people and they greatly appreciate the building, which to me says that you don't have to be an architectural historian to appreciate the building's simplicity and beauty."
Guild House holds historical significance as one of the first federally funded housing projects for the elderly in the United States. However, it is the building's impact on the development of architecture around the world that makes it special, says Jonathan Farnham, executive director of the Philadelphia Historical Commission.
"Although critics have interrogated Guild House and the theory girding it, the vast majority of them have commended the building for originating a landmark shift in architecture," Farnham wrote when nominating Guild House for placement on the city's register of historic places in 2004. "Guild House is one of Philadelphia's most exceptional buildings."
Guild House continues to serve its intended purpose nearly 50 years later. While the neighborhood in which it sits continues to evolve and diversify, only slight modifications have been made to the original design, namely the removal of the cheeky golden television antenna "sculpture"—Venturi's nod to what he considered a favorite pastime of older folks—that once crowned the building. Guild House has required little maintenance and, recently, the Friends Neighborhood Guild invested significant money in upgrading the building.
Gallery says that Philadelphia would do well to keep Guild House in mind, noting that Modernism emphasized "breaks with the past, a lack of continuity and context," a trend he sees re-emerging in the city's current architecture. "The lessons of Guild House," he says, "need to be learned again." —Dominic Mercier

Here's what I'm going for and hopefully I can get pretty close:
Here's the start of the front of my faceplate (since we can't see anything on the bottom right, I'm going to be improvising some wordings there.
The floating middle section is not permanently affixed yet, but I'll do that soon.
I also need to do the lettering a bit larger, so that is also in the works.

As the conflict in Pakistan witnesses more intense conflict between the Pakistan army and the Taliban, an increasing number of Muslims are recognizing the struggle in their nation entails a fight between Muslim extremists and those of the more moderate people who follow the precepts of Sufism. Ironically, extremists have for years been supported by Saudi Arabia whose government is founded on extremism and conservatism. During the 1980s, the United States in its effort to end the rule of communism in Afghanistan supported extremists from Saudi Arabia and Yemen who came to fight against the Soviets.
The Sufi moderate Islamic religion which generally is the main form of religion in Pakistan has become painfully aware of what lays in store for their nation if the conservative Saudi Arabian influenced Taliban gains power. The United States continues to urge Pakistan to deal with the Taliban but no effort is made to compel Saudi Arabia to curb its support for extremists in madrassas who impose hate and violence against moderates and western institutions.
