The superintendent of an 11-story apartment building in Chicago falls from the roof, remembering stories of the tenants on his way down.
As a teenage trumpet prodigy, Roscoe lost a finger in the gate of his apartment building's elevator. His trumpet dream shattered, he became superintendent of that same building, where he's lived all his life. Now living in a Spartan basement apartment, he sees to the needs of the building's tenants. But Roscoe never gave up on the trumpet, and on a fateful autumn evening, he ascends to the roof of the building to play his trumpet for all the world to hear. The people down on the sidewalk are entranced. Roscoe finishes and modestly bows—but loses his balance and begins his fatal plunge. Then the frame story launches: Time slows as Roscoe descends 11 floors, remembering a story about someone who lived on each floor he passes. Sylvia Freeman, a hoarder, lived on 10. On seven lived exiled Joaquin Rojas, whose Cuban friend sent him books stolen from Castro's library. David and Bill, the gay couple who lived on the sixth floor, split up over a stupid misunderstanding. Mrs. Delpy lived on five, where her psychotic son Martin crawled out on the ledge, followed by Roscoe. Finally, on the second floor lived Roscoe's only lifelong love, Iris Montgomery, with their illicit love consummated just once. Cander's book isn't quite Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio (1919), though. Some stories, like the perennially clogged toilet on eight, are playful anecdotes. Yet many of the tenants show heartbreaking spiritual damage; some of them are admirable, some not so much. Quiet, diffident Roscoe, who's spent half a century supporting them all in one way or another, just as admirably supports these stories.
A wonderfully clever compilation.

Advocacy Makes a Difference!
NAMI Maryland is a strong voice on mental illness, carrying out ongoing advocacy for a public policy agenda to improve mental health services throughout the state, reduce the stigma associated with mental illness, and support effective treatment and recovery programs.
2018 NAMI Maryland Public Policy Platform:
Please read our 2018 Public Policy Platform to learn more about NAMI Maryland's policy objectives and positions that support our goal of ensuring that individuals with mental illness and their families are able to access quality, affordable and comprehensive mental health treatment, prevention and recovery services throughout Maryland.
2018 NAMI Maryland Advocacy Priorities:
At NAMI Maryland, we are acutely aware that access to comprehensive, quality mental health care can improve the lives of the more than one million Marylanders affected by mental illness. It is well pastdue that Maryland's elected officials and decision-makers make a genuine and sustainable investment in accessible and quality behavioral health inpatient and outpatient treatment and services. We all know too well that the high cost of not treating mental illness vastly exceeds the cost of treatment. In 2018, NAMI Maryland will lead advocacy efforts to improve access to timely and effective mental health treatment for individuals with mental illness and their families by focusing on the following advocacy priorities:
- Protect and expand access to timely and effective mental health treatment and services in the FY 2019 Maryland state Budget.
- Ensure insurance marketplace reforms include mental health and substance use disorder coverage in every health plan and at the same level (parity) as other health conditions.
- Reduce legal and other barriers that prevent access to timely and effective services for individuals with mental illness and their family members and/or caregivers.
- Improve the criminal justice system's response to individuals with mental illness and their families and increase diversion from criminal justice to community services wherever possible.

PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening)
Also known as aneuploidy screening, PGS is a common treatment for women who have a history of miscarriage. Aneuploidy (either missing or additional chromosomes), is frequently a factor in cases where embryos do not implant in a woman's uterus
While still considered experimental by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, this testing has proven to increase the chances of having a successful pregnancy. Additional costs for this service will be discussed in detail with you by one of our billing coordinators before you decide to proceed with the testing.

We're back!
Have you missed us? We sure missed you and cooking! Well mostly cooking.... just kidding.
Ahem, so Second Friday was awesome to the max. And of course it wouldn't be SF if the following happened:
1. We didn't take a whole lot of pictures
2. Some pictures are blurry
3. Missed out on some great photo ops
Get what we're getting at? The photo taking still needs some work but meh we'll get there.
Ah the life of a lemon. So yellow. So mellow. So in need of a fellow. We didn't actually use lemons at all. Alixx just brought some over for Kelsey.
That's what best friends do.
Back to cooking.
So for appetizers we made toasted ravioli and caprese. But one at a time. Beat up those eggs.
Kelsey is just way too fast for Alixx to capture in the picture. Hold still Kelsey!
Then mix bread crumbs with parmesan and give it a good mix.
Basically dip a frozen ravioli in the egg, then in the bread crumb.
Once we had that all ready, we got the caprese salad going. First things first, we got some balsamic boiling in a pan. You want that to reduce just a little to get it a little thick.
While that's going we cut up the tomatoes, since Kelsey's sisters were in town (a lovely surprise since it made Italian SF seem that much more authentic!) we cut the tomatoes up small enough to make them bite size appetizers. Same with the mozarella and basil.
Awww yea!
And those ravioli you ask? Simply divine.
That did have to sit for a while but it let us get the side dish ready.
The side dish being antipasti salad, recipe again provided by Cass!
So throw some halved cherry tomatoes and mozrella pieces into a bowl and toss with some olive oil.
Refrain from eating.
Next mix some pesto and red wine vinegar. See that basil in the background? That's from Alixx's garden. Please we beg you, plant some basil. Harvest that basil. Eat that basil. You'll thank us.
Keep an eye on that sausage, make sure to stir every so often. Alixx tried to catch Kelsey's lettuce chopping in action. So close.
Kelsey found this fancy little pack of meat especially for antipasti salad! It worked perfectly. We used the whole package. That's the only way to do this.
Throw all that in and mix it up. You could try to refrain from eating, but it won't work. We promise.
Everyone dug in and loved the food (naturally) it was awesome sharing that Italian food with a big 'ol group of people! Serve the meat sauce over some pasta and seriously try not to eat the whole pan. The original anitpasti salad recipe says to make it more as a layered salad, but a chopped salad is so much easier! Especially for a big Italian family dinner.
We're sorry we deserted you but we're back! Check back for updates!

|Pininfarina Enjoy

Pininfarina hosted one of the most keenly awaited unveilings of the 73rd Geneva International Motorshow, and with Lotus Engineering's expertise under the skin, the beauty of 'Enjoy' runs to its very heart and soul. The stunning research study marks Pininfarina's return to the sports car theme in its most genuine sense. The world-famous Italian design house designed the simple, practical, basic though dynamic barchetta on a Lotus chassis evolved from that of the Lotus Elise. The Lotus tub structure chassis is a key feature of Enjoy. Its lightweight construction and exceptional torsional stiffness offer an ideal starting point when creating a car designed for road and track.
Made from extruded and epoxy-bonded aluminium and pioneered by Lotus Engineering on the original Elise launched in 1996, the chassis remains virtually unique in the automotive industry. The extruded aluminium technology remains truly advanced as a vehicle chassis material, and to 'bond' it together with epoxy adhesive astounded both the automotive and the engineering industries. Enjoy also has the benefit of Lotus Engineering's world-renowned Ride & Handling team to optimise its capabilities for road and track. No other company can offer the same depth of understanding in the dynamic interaction between driver, vehicle and road. Its ride and handling brilliance in the Elise has led to the UK-based consultancy being awarded over 50 awards for its expertise. Lotus calls upon a combination of its in-house simulation tools and subjective techniques to define and develop the characteristics of Enjoy exactly to Pininfarina's requirements.
Turin-based Pininfarina conceived the two-seater Enjoy for people who, in addition to craving an enjoyable drive, also have a passion for racing. On the road, Enjoy is a unique roadster affording an intimate bond between the driver and the external environment. However, the exceptionally stiff Lotus chassis is an enabling factor in Enjoy's innovative dual-personality package.
As the chassis is the load-bearing structure of the central body, the body panels are not an essential part of its structural integrity. This allowed the introduction of the extraordinary removable front and rear wings, which house the vehicle's headlights and taillights. Thus, upon detaching the four removable wing panels, Enjoy is transformed into a raw open-wheeled racer for the track. The body panels are employed only for driver comfort and protection and aerodynamic considerations, similar to motorbikes and single-seater racing cars, two of the primary inspirations for Enjoy.

Other finalists in the review include Omnicom Group's DDB Worldwide, Los Angeles, and TBWA/Chiat/Day, San Francisco; WPP Group's YR Advertising, San Francisco and independent Sacramento shop Mering & Associates.
Susan Kossack, the department's advertising director, said the finalists "were very close on creative" but Grey pulled ahead due to its "great media negotiation" skills. The contract is for a $45 million one-year campaign with an option for an extension for three additional years, she said.
Avoiding blackouts
Grey had the account on an interim basis when the state fell into an energy crisis earlier this year. It developed a campaign themed "Flex Your Power" urging consumers to help avoid blackouts by washing full loads of laundry and running vacuum cleaners at night after peak usage periods.
Ms. Kossack said that campaign has resulted in savings of 1% to 15% month by month and year over year, and that the "Flex Your Power" tagline will continue in a campaign starting this December.
The win brings billings for the Los Angeles office to $175 million, up 25% from the previous year, said the shop's president and chief operating officer, John Crosson. Other clients include Mars' Pedigree dog food; Park Place Entertainment, owner of Ceasar's Palace and other casino resorts; and Roman Meal Bread. The agency also will defend its California lottery account, which has $100 million in billings over four years, now up for a mandatory review.
Mr. Crosson credited the agency's growth with a new management team, including the appointment of Peter Mooney as co-president and creative director.

In general, the popularity of a video is based on views more than likes. It matters less how many people bother to hit the like button, what really matters is how many people watched it. But Instagram is based on likes, so when the service got video sharing, the same old system applied. Your self worth was based on how many likes you got.
But no more, as Instagram has announced that videos will be getting view counters over the next few weeks. Hitting the views will show you how many likes you got, but they're taking a backseat to actual views. Though likes should be more easily accessible and visible from the video itself, seeing the number of views is definitely a better metric of your social media reach. It also means bigger numbers to inflate your ego, so Instagram addicts can rejoice.

I got my clock moved around. It moved a bit faster yesterday because of the hockey game. My wife watched the Montreal Canadians win thier game and the TV was loud so I couldn't sleep until 10 PM. Also we made Easter dinner. So while I was only going to stay up till 6 PM yesterday as I stayed up till 4 PM on Saturday I slept at 10 PM last night and woke up at 10 am this morning. This gave me a headache. Tonight I know I'll be up till 1 am or so.
I have some union work tomorrow as a volunteer in the evening. It looks like I am selling a school book for some extra cash tomorrow evening.
Also Thursday a retiring professor is giving a talk about teaching in the math department.

All five operas, significantly perhaps, were first performed within a relatively short period – 1887 to 1925 – when the nature of marriage as an institution was under scrutiny right across the arts: think of the plays of Ibsen, Strindberg, Chekhov and Shaw, and the fiction of Henry James, Proust and DH Lawrence. (Tim Ashley, The Guardian, 6.1.2015)
In his final opera guide, Tim Ashley of The Guardian picked five operas that explore marital hell. Three of these picks are UE works: Leoš Janáček's Katya Kabanova, Béla Bartók's Bluebeard's Castle and Alban Berg's Wozzeck.

Your Business
All businesses are legally required to keep accurate accounting records so that the correct amount and type of tax is paid to HMRC. There are different forms that businesses can take with different accountancy requirements and liabilities.
Here is a quick overview of the most common types of companies:
Limited Company
This is an organisation that you can set up to run your business- it's responsible in its own right for everything it does and its finances are separate from your personal finances. A limited company needs to be registered at Companies House and must operate within the latest Companies Acts.
Sole Trader
A Sole Trader is an organisation owned and run by one individual, where there is no legal distinction between the owner and the business.
Although the term 'Sole Trader' means you are responsible for the business, you can employ staff. Generally, you are allowed to keep all the profits after tax, but you are personally responsible for any losses made by the business.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
This is a separate legal entity which confers full liability on its members. It is created by registration at Companies House and there must be a minimum of 2 members (there is no upper limit).
The partners in an LLP are not personally liable for debts which the business cannot afford to pay- their liability is limited to the amount of money they invest in the business.
All the profits can be shared between the partners and each partner pays tax on their share. The responsibilities and profit share for each partner are set out in an LLP agreement.
Are you a start-up business?
If you have not decided on which type of company is the best option for your circumstance, give us a call and we will advise you, so it will enable you to make the right choice. There is no charge for an initial consultation.

Anniversary of an assassination: George Jackson Lives!
From the Editors, People's Tribune, Vol.23 no.10, September 1996
Twenty-five years ago, on August 21, 1971, George L. Jackson, a 29-year-old leader of the Black Panther Party, died from multiple bullet wounds sustained during an alleged escape attempt from California's San Quentin State Prison.
In fact, as fellow inmates would later testify, Jackson died as he had lived, as a revolutionary struggling to save the lives of others.
The author of "Soledad Brother" and "Blood in My Eye" and a charismatic leader among prisoners and the oppressed generally, Jackson combined 10 years of participation in the prison struggle with the study and spreading of scientific socialism. In no small way, Jackson's persistent injection of anti-capitalist class consciousness into the movement was responsible for the emergence of a huge wave of prison struggles and uprisings across the country.
His assassination is said to have helped touch off the September 9-13, 1971 rebellion at Attica State Prison in New York, prompting the bloodiest suppression of an inmate uprising in U.S. history.
Today, as record numbers of Americans languish behind bars, as the political contours of America more and more resemble those he predicted with great foresight, George Jackson re-emerges as a towering figure in America's revolutionary legacy.
George Jackson lives!

Hello folks,
Well first post, but ive been viewing the forum for over a week now.
I was a smoker of 25 a day approx, I started smoking aged 15, now I am 35. I have been using patches for the last four days and actually feel ok this time. ( I have tried many times before ). I do feel however, this time it feels different ( easier ) as my mindset is different.
I was speaking to someone at work today who smoked for many years and stopped four years ago. They explained to me once you grasp the concept that your actually not giving anything up, but however adjusting to a state of which you were born ( ie not with a pack of ciggies ) you will get over smoking.
I think what has helped me this time is the true understanding of which that by smoking I am only feeding a habit that is controlled by my primative mind, in which the more evolved front part of my mind has now understood the more complex issues of smoking ( which are not that complex if you open up a little ) and that now this frontal part of my brain can decide and intsruct my primative ( inner bit ) not to smoke .... :rolleyes:
Maybe I am just trying to stay positive ...
However I do feel and believe that a positive and constructive outlook does and will have a impact on whether I will smoke again. I am begining to think ( scare myself ) that actually putting one cig in my mouth will only be distructive. ( Like going back into a distrucive relationship ) I and all of us stopping must break free and move on from teenage habits and or destructive relationships.
Sorry to ramble on Day 5 here we come

The Criminal Process is not an Adequate Substitute for a PPO
MPLP Winter 2007 Family Law Section Newsletter Article
Substitute for a Personal Protection Order
In order to fully protect victims of domestic violence a Personal Protection Order (PPO) must be available as a remedy even if there is a concurrent criminal case. There are many distinct advantages to a PPO separate from criminal orders, including bond and probation orders, where a judge would order that the defendant have no contact with the victim. A PPO is a civil order that is designed to prevent violent and harassing behavior and to protect the victims and their families from their abuser. A PPO allows the victim to shape the remedy that is necessary and frame the best protective measures. In addition, a PPO provides a wider range of protections and is within the control of the victim, not the prosecutor. This issue deserves discussion here in Michigan due to the prevalence of domestic violence and the fact that historically, the legal system has failed to take domestic violence seriously.
This issue arose recently in a case on appeal to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia where a victim's petition for a protection order was dismissed by the trial court because there was a concurrent criminal case. An amicus brief has been filed on behalf of the appellant in Murphy v. Okeke (Docket No. 04-FM-000579).
In this
case, appellant argues for reversal of the decision of the trial court denying
the appellant a civil protection order (CPO). The trial judge ruled that the appellant
should have never pursued her CPO because of the separate criminal case against
her ex-husband, stating "Quite frankly, we wouldn't be here today if things had
ended at the criminal trial … there doesn't need to be an independent pursuit
of an effort for a Civil Protection Order when the criminal cases can often times
achieve the same results."
Further, appellant argues that there is a strong rationale in having the civil process be distinct from the criminal process in order to provide battered women with additional resources for their protection and that the D.C. Intra family Offenses Act (IFO) was designed to protect and empower victims of abuse to give them the ability to shape the remedies that they would receive.
The IFO in D.C. is the equivalent to the Domestic Violence and PPO statute here in Michigan. MCL 600.2950 and its predecessors were created on the premise that civil sanctions as well as criminal sanctions should be available to victims of domestic violence or stalking. As a result the PPO statute and anti-stalking laws serve as an added resource to empower and protect victims.
The judge in the Murphy case did not take into account that PPO's give victims the ability to be represented by their own advocates (or themselves) in court, to shape their own arguments and craft their own request for remedies specific to the individual circumstances. It is important that judges and advocates in the state remember this is an important aspect of furthering justice for victims that is not necessarily a part of the criminal prosecution process.
This case highlights the importance for Michigan courts to make clear the distinction between the criminal and civil processes, highlighting that the processes are distinct from one another and serve different purposes.
PPO's are necessary even after criminal trials due to the limitations of the criminal justice process to address domestic violence. Because of this, civil remedies such as those outlined in the Michigan PPO statutes are critical in to the victim's interests, providing future protection, and autonomy to seek legal protection. The notion that criminal cases achieve the same results of a PPO is at odds with the purpose and judicial and legislative intent of anti-domestic violence and stalking laws, which strives to create a parallel civil remedy for conduct that also violates criminal laws.

Psalm 133
In three short verses Psalm 133 states the obvious and makes me wonder why the church doesn't pursue unity with more purpose. Instead of pouring the precious oil of peace on each other we heap insults on each other's heads and draw theological lines in the sand staining the collar of our robes with division. You might expect this of the more strident traditions but even the Unitarians, or so I'm told, don't always get along. Go figure. The fragrant extravagance of good and pleasant unity imaged by the psalmist is the blessing that falls from heaven and unity is bestowed from above whenever it is understood from below as the very essence of what it means to claim Christ as Lord.

Benefits for property owners
Property owners can benefit from Renew Newcastle as much as, if not more than, the creative projects that use their spaces.
Having someone occupying the property provides immediate benefits for the property owner: it reduces vandalism, squatting and other problems associated with empty buildings; it can lower or even eliminate some maintenance costs; and it can lead to lower insurance costs as occupied properties are generally cheaper to insure.
Depending on what the outgoings on the property are and how they are structured, these can be real costs that are taken on by the occupier that the owner would otherwise have to pay.
More importantly for many property owners, the presence of activity in an area grows the medium to long-term value of their property. Active shopfronts lead to increased traffic in area, attract new interest and, as the example in Newcastle has shown, can lead to renewed interest from commercial tenants.
Several of Renew Newcastle's shops and many others around them found paying tenants in the last 12 months.

What Is Unnecessary Surgery? Who Shall Decide? Issues of Consumer Sovereignty, Conflict and Self Regulation
Schacht, Paul J.
Pemberton, Alec
Bibliographic Citation
Social Science and Medicine. 1985; 20(3): 199-206.
The polemical debate over unnecessary surgery has often neglected fundamental questions of what is or is not necessary surgery in favor of economic and policy concerns. This essay by Schacht and Pemberton has a two-fold purpose: to broaden the comparative basis for discussions of unnecessary surgery by incorporating some Australian data, and to address such major issues as who determines when surgery is unnecessary, and on what grounds. The authors draw attention to problems with relying on epidemiological data to detect unnecessary surgery. They also examine counterproposals that decisions about the necessity of certain procedures be made by physicians or consumers, and suggest that review committees comprised of health personnel and laypersons would be the best forums for scrutinizing the issues.

When a play begins with a live man copulating with a corpse, only to be interrupted by the dead denizens of the cemetery, you have a pretty good idea of what kind of show you're in for. For those who enjoy the idea of a play featuring dead people acting out scenes from their lives, full of pungent language and bizarrely compelling images but short on linear plot development, this proves a satisfying and at times spectacular show. Those with no taste for the avant-garde probably won't change their minds based on the ghoulish goings-on.
The play, by French author Fabrice Melquiot, is having its US premiere at Trap Door, in David Bradby's lyrical translation. As far as can be determined, it centers on brother grave-robbers Ivan (Kevin Lucero Less) and Dan (David Steiger), their father Louis, who also dresses up as a woman named Lullaby (Bob Wilson), and the two women the brothers love (Cassandra Kaluza and Tiffany Joy Ross), all of whom are apparently dead, and their interactions with apparently living (and occasionally corpse-raping) poet Juste (Casey Chapman). (Full disclosure: Chapman is a friend.)
The ninety minutes of the play show the characters varied interactions and several versions of their past. There is no linear through-line that I could discern, and the play has not avoided the common trap for plays of its type. While there are a number of exciting scenes and arresting images, the play eventually gets repetitious, and feels about 15 minutes too long.
But there are many pleasures along the way. Director Max Truax, fresh from the dire Termen Vox Machina, has a much better script on which to work his magic, and the results are striking. The play has a physical language that is fascinating to watch--characters move almost like real people, only to suddenly crumple to the ground, corpses again. It's an image that's startling every time. The design team clearly shares Truax's vision, and Ewelina Dobiesz' filthy, rotting set, Richard Norwood's grotesque lighting, and Zsofia Otvos' deathly makeup are particularly vital in creating a world so believable you can practically smell it. The actors all give fully committed performances, finding the beauty, humor, and horror in Melquiot's writing.
I'm still not sure what the show was trying to say, if anything at all, and I wish the entire play had lived up to its best moments, but the combination of script and production still makes for an arresting show, and those with a love of the bizarre should definitely attend.

Banking on brains for clues to autism
Leslie Bolen was there for every one of her son Michael's medical tests. He'd had more than his fair share in his 14 years, but this last one was almost too much for his mother to bear.
That test was on a Saturday night in April 2016. Eight days earlier, Michael had had a seizure at the residential facility where he lived. He had autism, and he'd had seizures almost every week since he was 8 years old, but never one this bad. He stopped breathing, and his heart stopped beating. Medics managed to restart his heart with a shot of adrenaline, but his brain never recovered.

One of the things I miss the most about living in Japan (apart from the food) are the mountains. I've always found their constant presence reassuring—they were a continual reminder of calmness and stability.
Whether cold or hot, wet or dry, throughout the changing seasons mountains exude a sense of equanimity from within.
Indeed, if you look up equanimity in the dictionary, you'll find:
calmness and composure, especially in a difficult situation.
"she accepted both the good and the bad with equanimity"
synonyms: composure, calmness, calm, level-headedness, self-possession, self-control, even-temperedness, coolness, cool-headedness, presence of mind
These are qualities which are invaluable to practice in daily life.
If only we could find strength and stability within ourselves, instead of relying on our belongings, other people, or things we can't control, perhaps we'd be much happier people.
You don't have to be on or near a mountain to find stillness. It can be cultivated within you. Think of a mountain in situations where mindfulness is key. Can you absorb a little of its qualities?
Instead of trying to find peace on a mountain, be like one – enduring yet changing, flexible yet strong.
Imagine, having a sense of rootedness and resolve to persevere in the weather of our own lives, and to be able to face any situation or turmoil with composure and presence of mind.

When i log into facebook by the front screen button the status that comes up is a status that was put up on friday and it won"t update to anything new!! Ive done the battery removal thing again but the status is still from last week. It won't update itself.. any ideas??? Thanks

Base Product Specifications
The five major measurements of base performance of any Solid State Storage solution are latency, random read/write and sequential read/write speed. These are the most common measurements that are posted by manufacturers to advertise storage performance. We will cover the latency and sequential read and write on this page and random performance on the following page. We begin with a measurement of the latency of the device. The industry standard for measurement of latency is 4K Random Access at a Queue Depth (QD) of one.
The Dual 910s access time is virtually identical to the 800GB single device measurements, causing them to actually be hidden underneath the 800GB results. The Server 2008 R2 LSI drivers handle all 8 volumes seamlessly even with two PCIe SSDs connected, so there is virtually no impact to base latency for either device.
The 128K sequential read speeds reflect the maximum sequential throughput of the SSD using a realistic file size that will actually be encountered in an enterprise scenario. With two 910s aggregating their speeds they manage to push 3,928MB/s, slightly under 4GB/s.
The 800GB scores at 1956MB/s, barely below the advertised 2.0GB/s. We can observe similar results with the 400GB, coming in at 973MB/s, a tad below the rated 1GB/s. Once again, as with the 400 and 800GB single SSD results, we will observe nearly perfect scaling over the course of the benchmarks. The LSISAS2008 PCIe bridge scales exceptionally well with each of the four controllers on each SSD, so the dual 910 results are at expected levels in almost all benchmarks.
The two 910s reach 1820MB/s in sequential write speed. This is not perfect scaling with the 800GB results, which is due to running the dual tests at the default power setting. The 800GB tests were conducted at the maximum performance setting. These results are roughly 180MB/s below the expected value for the two SSDs together in the default performance mode.
The 128K Sequential Write speeds of the 800GB, in maximum performance mode, top out at 1480MB/s, right below the rated 1.5GB/s using the Maximum Performance mode. The default power mode hits 1GB/s with sequential write access. The 400GB reaches 745MB/s, right at the rated spec of .75GB/s.
