Reviews for the HP G62-144DX
Source: Digital Versus
HP's G series offers "the essential, nothing superfluous". They aim to be both affordable and able to handle all round tasks. With the G62, HP is giving us a computer designed for processing office documents and the internet. The finish is pretty good for an entry level model. It's a shame that certain keyboard issues make it frustrating to get used to.

Walter Brasch: Most of the questions—and responses—in the three presidential debates had been asked—and answered—several times during the campaign. But there are critical questions that were not asked.
Being Good Citizens
Steve Hochstadt: Being a good citizen is not mainly participating in elections every November. It means thinking about our neighbors every day.
Sarah Palin: Professor of Freedom?
Ron Wolff: I suggest that it is not necessary to postulate bias against conservatives as the reason for the preponderance of liberals in academia. The simpler answer is that conservatives (with exceptions! I don't want to over-generalize!) are less able (or at least less inclined) to engage in critical thinking worthy of an academic environment.
Does Protecting Our Children Mean Political Action For Them And For Us?
Paul Loeb: Particularly in these difficult times, we often use our children as reasons to avoid getting involved in critical issues. We've got all we can handle holding on to our jobs and spending a little time with them. We fear political commitments will make their lives more insecure. Especially when they're young, it may be all we can do just to go to work, come home, pay attention to their needs, and catch a few scarce hours of sleep. Yet when we do find ways to get engaged, our children can give us powerful reasons to act.
Bogged Down in Wars
I don't doubt Obama's strategic intelligence, his seriousness of purpose, his American patriotism, or his decision-making process. But I think his decision is wrong. We can't do anything there but continue to lose lives and money.
Activists Giving Obama a Pass
Obama still has time to deliver for his base. But this will require activists and constituency groups to ramp up public demands for such a course, rather than thinking they are helping the progressive cause by making excuses for a president whose inspirational words about social transformation have not been matched by actions.

A Lunch BIT from The Memory Process edited by Suzanne Nalbantian, Paul M. Matthews, and James L. McClelland
In this excerpt from Memory in Art: A BIT of the Memory Process edited by Suzanne Nalbantian, Paul M. Matthews and James L. McClelland, David Freedberg, an art historian investigating the neural bases of empathy, draws on recent neuroscientific research to explore one of the great masterpieces of fifteenth-century Flemish painting, Rogier van der Weyden's Descent from the Cross. Freedberg connects memory to the direct and indirect bodily responses to a work of art.
The traditional divide between the sciences and the humanities has long been seen in terms of the tension between naturalist and materialist views, on the one hand, and sensitivity to contextual and social constraints, on the other. But this conventional dichotomy collapses in the face of the evidence for the neural bases of empathetic engagement with works of art. We are in a better position to understand how prefrontal modulation of lower-level cerebral responses offers more flexible and inventive ways of thinking about the relationship between automaticity and experience. Recent research on memory confounds the separation of history and experience from the corporeal and psychological entailments of beholding a visual image, and a work of art in particular. The subject of embodied responses—much discussed in recent years by humanist scholars—now stands at the intersection of several fields within the cognitive neurosciences.

TUF 13 coaches going to be Edgar and Maynard
I'm a little disappointed too.
Hoped that it would've been Wandy/Chael season but after the issues Chael Sonnen had I knew it wasnt gonna happen. But it's not the worst either.
It will help to hype the rubber match, but then again it delays the fight a bit.
I just hope they start filming as soon as possible.
I wont be watching then.
Its still just a rumour and i hope it stays that way. Edgar/Maynard III should be done asap - Edgar should be medically cleared by end of feb i reckon so the fight should happen in March or April at the very latest - if they wait til June then a lot of potential candidates will miss their shot.
So so so so bad. Will be the dullest TUF ever. Frankie is a reserved and respectful guy and Grey is monotone and dull. Also TUF holding up title fights is just so bad.
The idea of TUF is to be entertaining and coaches should be chosen accordingly.
Chael vs Wandy would have been awesome, constant confrontations and some genius interviews from Chael.
Obviosly given his current situation they couldn't have Chael representing the UFC in such a mainstream media outlet as TUF.
Thumbs up for the suggestion though.
Am I the only one who sees this as a great move? Edgar vs Maynard II ending in a draw generated alot of buzz, that buzz will cause more people to tune into TUF, which in turn will cause more people to turn into their second rematch :)
Win/win for all included... Though Gray needs a personality ASAP ;)
Still just a rumor. I dont think they would put these dudes as TUF coaches. Neither of them are particularly interesting or charismatic.
I don't watch TUF anymore really, but I can see the reasoning behind this. Reminds me of the Tito/Shamrock, Tito/Lidell seasons.

Gates family office leads $1bn investment in Egyptian conglomerate
A group of US investors led by Cascade Investment, the "family office" of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, on Saturday struck a deal to acquire a stake in Egyptian construction and fertiliser firm Orascom Constructions Industries for $1bn, Bloomberg reported.
According to a filing made by OCI, the transaction includes a mandatory offer to swap all its Cairo-quoted shares and global depositary receipts for shares of OCI NV - a new entity to be floated on the NYSE Euronext in Amsterdam - for E£280 each.
The share exchange offer has attracted over $2bn in commitments, including $1bn from the US consortium that also includes Southeastern Asset Management and Davis Selected Advisers, OCI said.

Stowe house burns and is declared a total loss
STOWE Firefighters from four area departments were unable Sunday afternoon to save a burning Upper Hollow Road home that collapsed shortly after their arrival.
The fire, which was already raging when it was spotted by a motorist who phoned it in shortly after noon Sunday, destroyed the home owned by George Lengvari, according to state police. Police estimated damage at more than $600,000.
Saving the house was never an option, according to police, who said the entire structure was engulfed in flames when Stowe firefighters arrived. Firefighters from Waterbury, Morrisville and Cambridge also responded, as did Stowe police and the local ambulance service.
There were no reported injuries. Though the exact cause of the fire remains under investigation, a state police investigator, who was summoned by the Stowe Fire Department, said it is not believed to be suspicious.MORE IN This Just InHarwood Union graduate Haley Spittle was named North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week after...

2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan C240 4dr Sedan (2.6L 6cyl 6M)
2001-C240, 165,000 miles. I will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER buy another Mercedes. 1) I had to unplug the power seats because they drain the battery if left plugged in overnight. 2) Automatic trunk opener does not work. 3) Sunroof does not open properly. 4) Cup holder does not work. 4) Dash lights do not work. 5) It sounds like either the rear bearings or the transmission is going out. 5) Poor gas mileage (20-23 mpg). 6) two spark plugs per cylinder. Each spark plug cost $20.00. 7) The rear window shade does not work properly. 8) Cigarette lighter does not work. I do not smoke but I need it to keep my phone charged. 9) CD changer does not work properly. A mechanic told me that the engine will last forever but the rest of the car will cost you your house! I have a 1995 Toyota Camry with 381,000 miles on it and everything still works.
2001 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan C320 4dr Sedan (3.2L 6cyl 5A)
An extremely fun, forgiving car. Definitely enjoy taking this car on back-roads using the tip-tronic transmission. as expected a lot of maintenance involved in owning a Mercedes.
I bought the car in 2008 with 50k miles on it for $11,000. I traded in my 1998 Cadillac deVille for what I called my "German Experiment". The 2001 C320 has some very nice features. It handles well on the highway and the engine is bullet-proof. There are so many little things that have gone wrong. The power seat controls, the air damper that controls the vent/floor air, the rear window shade, a $900 gas pump, the 6-CD player, and more. The single-most bothersome problem is the paint. Soon after I purchased the car I noticed very small rust bubbles on the door panels and front and rear fenders. Over time they have grown to be large rust spots -the size of silver dollars and larger. What a disappointment! These are certainly not the Mercedes Benz of the 1970's and 80's. I recently went back to a Cadillac and will probably never purchase a Mercedes again. This German Experiment has failed.
I bought this car with only one previous owner with only 57k miles cash for 7k. Worst mistake ever. As soon as I got the car things started breaking down, transmission, electrical etc. If you are looking for a luxury vehicle STAY AWAY!
This model car has numerous problems.My 55 yr old wife drives this car gently. Yet, after 90K miles, I have replaced: braking computer, rear brakes 3x, front brakes 6x, alternator, numerous sensors, spark plugs and wires 2x, MAF 2x, EGR Valve 2x, EGR tube, fuel pump, motor mounts 2x, rear coil springs, numerous bulbs, window regulators 3x, front speakers, door handle, battery 2x, wheel, keys 2x, front control arm, steering assembly, gas cap, and sway bar links.Yet to repair: fading LCD instrument display, pass seat heater, front shocks, cracked cigarette tray cover, shifter (base pulled away from console), steering wheel, valve cover gaskets, clicking noise in drive shaft, trunk handle.
The car is fun to drive, is quiet when the motor mounts and brakes and window regulators are in working order, and does average 34 mpg.
Because of all of the repairs and the time the car spent in the repair shops (not just the dealer), we have become friends with many mechanics.
The electrical system needs redesign; the instrument panel needs a digital display screen which either lasts or which does not cost $1200 to repair; the brakes need to be redesigned as the car does not stop well on wet roads and the brakes do not last; the shocks and springs need redesign for longevity and ease of repair; the engine and transmission mounts need redesign so they don't keep wearing out; the plastic parts need improvement so the plastic does not become brittle and break; the carbon clogging of the EGR system needs redesign; the cell phone configuration needs to be changed to allow blue tooth functionality; and the defroster needs redesign for passenger comfort and ease of use.

1992 Mazda MX-3 Hatchback 2dr Hatchback
Bought my MX3 in high school, and have been driving it ever since.
I have always lived in rural areas in the West and she handles beautifully on the back roads, even in the snow...I have taken her up Mt Hood many times.
I take curves at the same speed as the rest of the highway (in good weather!)
thanks to her Twin-Trapezoidal Link rear suspension.
Maintenance has been minimal/normal: new brakes, clutch, window motor, distributor (twice), muffler (twice).
I have even fit a full size ikea couch in that car, with the hatch closed! Cargo space is amazing for a car that gets 40 mpg in summer highway driving.
Love this car.
Gas efficient, handles better than some "luxury" cars I've driven, incredible cargo space due to the long hatch back.
Be sure to note recalls, my seat belt track broke, but the factory fixed it (not before a shop tried to charge me $1300). Also, she steams up in the winter when it is raining, so you have to use the heat judiciously...and carry a small towel just in case. Over time, head lights are so yellow and opaque it feels like driving with two flashlights would be better. I just haven't sprung for the new plastic.
1992 Mazda MX-3 Hatchback 2dr Hatchback
I've had my car for about one year and it had 248000 miles on it and sat in my uncles drive 4 about a year in a half. After he gave it to me I took that car to hell and back. That little car took a beating and would not give up until I hit a deer and I still drove it home with a busted radiator. The car ended up having 270000 miles on it and seemed like it could of gone double that.
5 speed, gas saver, and a sporty look to it
Needs just a little more power
1992 Mazda MX-3 Hatchback 2dr Hatchback
I bought the car used last November for 600 bucks with 125,000 miles on the odometer. So far the only major things I had to replace was the distributor (300 bucks). and a stage 1 clutch ($195). I bought it with a vacuum leak so gas mileage is a little short, but still reasonable. I am mechanic so I can fix the problem when I can find the part. That's probably the only problem....finding parts. Tends to oversteer which is one of the best qualities of this car. Very fun to drive despite only having 90 HP.
Oversteer, handling, gas mileage, easy to park.
More power, and get rid of the power seat belts. Oh and some sound deadening.
1992 Mazda MX-3 Hatchback 2dr Hatchback
I bought this car for $500 it was
stolen. It needed a clutch and cv's
and a door hand and ignition lock
cylinder. For $1000 total invested
this thing is awsome. It is extremely
fun to drive (I rally it on the way to
work!) No torque steer. it actually
handles like a rear wheel rive slight
oversteer, which is fun I can get the
rear to slide in corners like a rear
drive. All this and it gets a
consistant 30mpg. The only problem is
that I am 6'4" and I have to duck to
see stop lights. Extremely economical
car. After fixing the initial parts I
havent had a problem. 160000 miles on
it now and it doesn't use any oil,
smoke or leak anything.
Low price great gas mileage. I wish it had a six speed because it revs at 4000 rpms when your are doing 75mph.
Sixth gear, lower the seats so I can see out of the windsheild.
1992 Mazda MX-3 Hatchback 2dr Hatchback
I bought this car new 11 years ago and
have had no problems with it other
than normal wear and tear. Even with
214,000 miles, it is still extremely
reliable and gets excellent gas
Gets good gas mileage yet it is still peppy. Very reliable. Still stylish after 11 years. Original floor mats are still in good shape. Glad manual windows/door locks were available because the automatic ones seem to be the first thing to break.
Get rid of the automatic seat belts. The cup holder broke the first month. The wipers aren't great. The lock on the glove box broke. The cover on the hatch back is toast. Make an air conditioner that lasts as long as the car.

Belgian soccer team Royal Antwerp makes most sexist, degrading video ever
- From: news.com.au
- January 06, 2014
BUMMER. An extremely stupid Belgian soccer team has just made complete asses of themselves.
These silly twerps from Belgian club Royal Antwerp practised their goal shooting by aiming at the backsides of models dressed provocatively in lingerie.
This might sound like a bunch of Belgian waffle but it's true.
The stunt was put on by one of those godawful lads' mags which nobody buys anymore and which was therefore utterly desperate for attention.
The team has since become the butt of many jokes for allowing itself do something so utterly sexist and repulsive that it violates every possible notion of decency, respect and non-violence towards women.
Yes, this really scrapes the bottom of the barrel, and you can only hope this comes back to bite these guys on the backside in ways we haven't thought of yet.
We can only hope they'll be well behind in the scoreline in their next few matches, and that their season will bottom out at the rear end of the table.Originally published as Footy team makes most sexist, degrading video ever

The most sexist & degrading video ever? Have you been living under a rock? Yes, women are objectified here as they are frequently in today's media but I don't see how this is any different from any lingerie ad on the back of a bus or the majority of mainstream music videos. Royal Antwerp FC is not the problem here, not even the tip of the iceberg. Grow up, mate.

The San Francisco 49ers are on a tear. They have won eight games in a row, can clinch the NFC West before the tryptophan knocks you out on Thursday, and are in line for a first-round bye in the playoffs.
They are the best team in the NFL right now whose name doesn't rhyme with Smackers, but will they surpass Green Bay by the end of the regular season and claim the coveted top seed for the playoffs?
It's not as long of a shot as you may think. The defense is dominant, the running game is unforgiving and the specialists are extremely consistent. Add in the wave of momentum and confidence Coach of the Year shoo-in Jim Harbaugh has instilled, and these red and gold warriors have a legit chance.
Here is how the 49ers can steal the top overall NFC seed from the Green Bay Packers by the time the playoffs roll around.
