I'm a bit out of touch, have been for a while. No further than the corner pub on nearly all Sundays for the last two years or so.

If you seem so out of touch, I would recommend Greenside. Nice little shabeem and then Jolly Rogers for drought Stella and a nice little pizza.
For Arts on Main, same old same old. Some local beers, salsa music from that Midrand guy and good food from lots of countries. Plus it really does comes with a mixed crowd with no inhibitions.
Sorry to say but SA is still divided as far as outsider view is concerned. Coming from India I sometimes find it difficult to gel in to otherwise extremely friendly and awesome nation.

I'm going to meet with a vitamin company today that wants to sponsor my sister and I as an athlete team.
It's nothing big as far as sponsor and sports go, but it sure seems fantastic to me! I'm so excited. I meet them after work today.

Maybe you should tweet about it.
Seriously, sponsors want ads, so the more followers you tell about your product the more you will get from other products.

I'm not on social media at the moment. If they sponsor me, then I will create an athlete account on facebook, and possibly start twitter.
The only social network I'm on right now is bodybuilding.com

Just remember, sponsorship isn't altruistic. Practice saying, "I would like to thank Vitamin A for my win, without Vitamin A I couldn't have done it" and then drink the vitamin A water with label towards the camera.

So will you be doing those telemarketing advertisements now?
Congratulations and all the best!

My sister and I do grappling (BJJ) tournaments and local obstacle courses like the spartan race, and tough mudders.
I do MMA (cage) fighting, but my sister doesn't (yet).
Pretty much local amateur sporting events.

If you get real good, a local hospital may sponsor you. Send your victims opponents to

If I ask, it's OK to say who the sponsor is? I suppose we'll will have to wait until the sponsorship is in place.
Good luck then!
I saw a format you can use, Get pumped![^]
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Yeah, I'll make a post if I get it and say who it is. Until I'm for sure, I should probly wait.

Good call. Don't want to do anything to risk annoying them unnecessarily.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Congrats
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

That would be sweet... nothing like getting paid to do something you love to do anyway.
Good luck!

No way, I learnt that trick with programming. Sports will remain my hobby forever

That is totally bizarre. Where did that car come from?

looks like the Samsung 840-Pro in my desktop is dying (?). it corrupted my VS2005 and VS2012 installs so that the IDEs would start, but the compilers would crash. running the installer's repair seems to have fixed them, for now.
Samsung's diag tool says the drive is perfectly fine, however.
anyone else ever experience anything like that?

Hopefully you don't have an older motherboard with the Sandybridge bug? This could explain such behaviour.

I hope you will all reply and talk about this a bit more. I am looking into upgrading my older laptop (Toshiba Satellite) to an SSD. What is the sandybridge bug?
Amazon Reviews
I've seen numerous people -- on Amazon.com reviews of various SSDs -- say their SSD worked great for 1 week, 3 weeks, 5 months and then just totally and completely died.
Known Issues?
Is this a known issue? Can someone talk about number of lifetime read/writes? Does some software just read/write so much they kill the SSDs? Is the technology not valid with Windows 7, 8? etc?
I appreciate the community's response to these. Very interested.
Thanks,
~Newton

Basically Intel got something wrong in their ICH6 chipset for Sandybridge processors, known more correctly as the Cougar Point chipset flaw. Over time the Sata II ports would begin to fail - the more you used them, the faster the failure. Intel claim(ed) that no actual data loss would occur as the disk simply went off-line - having had a motherboard with the bug I beg to differ. The flaw was discovered in January 2011 and Intel halted all production until it was cured.
That said, my first Samsung SSD (an older PM800) also failed after about 13 months, but a firmware flash and "re-format" seemed to repair it. I only use it as a portable data drive now though.

I also had one of those boards, and the problem (at least in my case) was exactly as Intel described it--ports simply disappeared.
