Running 324 pages, plus a six-page summary in its pre-release (easy to read) version this massive annual update will be published officially in the November 26, 2014 Federal Register. Based on something like March Madness bracketology, we narrowed the large, attention-worthy field to these final four.
No. 1:
As previously threatened, HHS will amend 45 CFR § 156.145 to deny "minimum value" status to plans that don't cover hospital care. Here's the explanation from the proposed rule's preamble:
Plans that omit critical benefits used disproportionately by individuals in poor health will enroll far fewer of these individuals, effectively driving down employer costs at the expense of those who because of their individual health status are discouraged from enrolling.
That the MV standard may be interpreted to require that employer-sponsored plans cover critical benefits is evident in the structure of the Affordable Care Act, the context in which the grant of the authority to the Secretary to prescribe regulations under section 1302 was enacted, and the policy underlying the legislation. Section 1302(b) authorizes the Secretary of HHS to define the EHB to be offered by individual market and small group health insurance plans, provided that this definition "include at least" 10 specified categories of benefits, and that the benefits be "equal to the scope of benefits provided under a typical employer plan." To "inform this determination" as to the scope of a typical employer plan, section 1302(b)(2)(A) provides that "the Secretary of Labor shall conduct a survey of employer sponsored coverage to determine the benefits typically covered by employers, including multiemployer plans, and provide a report on such survey to the Secretary [of HHS]."48 (Emphasis added.) These provisions suggest that, while detailed requirements for EHB in the individual and small group health insurance markets were deemed necessary, the benefits covered by typical employer plans providing primary coverage at the time the Affordable Care Act was enacted were seen as sufficient to satisfy the Act's objectives with respect to the breadth of benefits needed for health plan coverage and, in fact, to serve as the basis for determining EHB. They also suggest that any meaningful standard of minimum coverage may require providing certain critical benefits.
Employer-sponsored plans in the large group market and self-insured employers continue to have flexibility in designing their plans. They are not required to cover all EHB. Providing flexibility, however, does not mean that these plans should not be subject to minimum requirements. A plan that excludes substantial coverage for inpatient hospital and physician services is not a health plan in any meaningful sense and is contrary to the purpose of the MV requirement to ensure that an employer-sponsored plan, while not required to cover all EHB, nonetheless must offer coverage with minimum value at least roughly comparable to that of a bronze plan offered on an Exchange.
For these reasons, the Secretary has concluded that the provisions of section 1302(d)(2) of the Affordable Care Act – requiring that the regulations for determining the percentage of the total allowed costs of benefits that apply to plans that must cover all EHB also be applied as a basis for determining minimum value – reflect a statutory design to provide basic minimum standards for health benefits coverage through the MV requirement, without requiring large group market plans and self-insured plans to meet all EHB standards.
[ . . . ]
Accordingly, we propose to amend §156.145 to require that, in order to provide minimum value, an employer-sponsored plan not only must meet the quantitative standard of the actuarial value of benefits, but also must provide a benefit package that meets a minimum standard of benefits. Specifically, we propose to revise §156.145 to provide that, in order to satisfy MV, an employer plan must provide substantial coverage of both inpatient hospital services and physician services.
Legal authority to augment ACA-defined "minimum value" by adding an EHB element is questionable, but there's no doubt that HHS intends to do it.
No. 2:
The network adequacy standard of 45 CFR § 156.230 will require each QHP issuer to:
publish an up-to-date, accurate, and complete provider directory, including information on which providers are accepting new patients, the provider's location, contact information, specialty, medical group, and any institutional affiliations, in a manner that is easily accessible to plan enrollees, prospective enrollees, the State, the Exchange, HHS and OPM. As part of this requirement, we propose that a QHP issuer must update the directory information at least once a month, and that a provider directory will be considered easily accessible when the general public is able to view all of the current providers for a plan on the plan's public website through a clearly identifiable link or tab without having to create or access an account or enter a policy number.
No. 3:
The 2016 maximum annual cost sharing limits (45 CFR § 156.130) will be $6,850 for self-only coverage and $13,700 for family coverage.
No. 4:
Medicare or Medicare-like quality improvement standards ("QIS") will be imposed on private insurers under 45 CFR § 156.1130, so that, among other things –
[B]eginning in 2016, a QHP issuer participating in the FFE for at least 2 years would submit a QIS implementation plan to HHS and the applicable Exchange for each QHP offered in the Exchange, followed by annual progress updates. We anticipate that the implementation plan for a QHP issuer's proposed QIS will reflect a payment structure that provides increased reimbursement or other market-based incentives for addressing at least one of the topics specified in section 1311(g)(1) of the Affordable Care Act.
"FFE," of course, refers to www.healthcare.gov. Insurers who sold policies through that federal Exchange in 2014 and 2015 should expect HHS in 2016 to be, "requesting information . . . regarding the percentage of payments to providers that is adjusted based on quality and cost of health care services." HHS also expects that, "one year after submitting the QIS implementation plan, the QHP issuer would submit information including, an annual update including a description of progress of QIS implementation activities, analysis of progress using proposed measures and targets, and any modifications to the QIS."

Meet the Parents found such tremendous success in the chemistry produced by the contrasting personalities of stars Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller that the film's creators went for broke with the same formula again in Meet the Fockers. This time around, Jack and Dina Byrnes (De Niro and Blythe Danner) climb into Jack's new kevlar-lined RV with daughter Pam (Teri Polo), soon-to-be son-in-law Gaylord (Stiller), and Jack's infant grandson from his other daughter for the trip to Florida to meet Gaylord's parents, Bernie and Roz Focker (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand in a casting coup). The potential in-laws are, of course, the opposite of Jack, a pair of randy, touchy-feely fun-lovers. The rest of the movie is pretty much a sitcom: put Bernie and Roz together with Jack, and watch the in-laws clash as Gaylord squirms. As with the original, there is a sense of joy in watching these actors take on their roles with obvious relish, and the Hoffman-Streisand-Stiller triumvirate is likeable enough to draw you in. But the formula doesn't work as well in Fockers mostly because much of the humor is based on two obvious gimmicks: Gaylord Focker's name, and the fact that Streisand's character is a sex therapist. As a result, the movie itself is more contrived and predictable, and a lot less fun than the original. The casting is grand, but one wishes more thought was put into the script.

Carr out of Irish clash
By Graeme Bailey
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The full back is currently suspended from Premiership duty, but he is suffering from a back complaint and Spurs want him to rest.
"Stephen's had a back problem for some time now," said Spurs' caretaker boss David Pleat.
"He's been playing with it but we won't risk him in the Irish squad next week with important games coming up at the end of the season.
"He's suspended at the moment so this was the time to try and get the injury right. Hopefully he'll make a quick recovery."
Carr will be back in action on May 8 against Blackburn, when his suspension is over.

Rory to reap the wind
PASSION, fire and hunger still smoulder within his diminutive frame. Paul McGinley has watched from the wings while the boyhood dreams of friends, fellow Irishmen and even a former room-mate have come true at the Major championships as he grappled with chronic knee problems.
His long, frustrating battle with injury might have broken the spirit of lesser men, but not this feisty 44-year-old Dubliner.
McGinley looks forward to his 21st Irish Open this week in Killarney with as much enthusiasm as he did for his first at Portmarnock in 1989 ... and probably more determination.
Recognised throughout European golf as a Ryder Cup captain-in-waiting, McGinley exudes positive energy, which at present is focused entirely on his efforts to claw his way back from world No 526 into the upper echelons of the global game.
Recently, there have been promising green shoots. At the weather-hit, 54-hole Barclays Scottish Open a fortnight back, McGinley marked his 500th appearance on Tour by posting three successive rounds in the 60s for the first time since October 2009.
Still, he must tread carefully with an ailing left knee, which requires further surgery -- McGinley hopes an eighth knee operation can be staved off until season's end.
Yet, refreshingly, he certainly doesn't tiptoe around any issues in golf.
For example, McGinley expertly explains the perplexing question of why Rory McIlroy, one of the greatest talents in world golf, would be blown so far off course by the wind in the British Open at Royal St George's.
McIlroy's statement on Sunday at Sandwich that he's "not a fan of golf tournaments where the outcome is predicted so much by the weather" and his blunt assertion that it's not worth changing his swing for just one tournament each summer, albeit the British Open, was hotly controversial.
Yet McGinley takes a markedly different view to those who dismissed the 22-year-old as 'a fair-weather player' after his relatively disappointing performance over the storm-tossed final 36 holes at the British Open. "In five years' time, people will have completely the opposite view of Rory," McGinley insists.
"I believe playing in the wind will become his forte, not his nemesis. He'll develop into a great wind player, like Tom Watson.
"I believe this because of the way he works the ball, which is incredible for a modern player," he adds. "Most young kids today are one-dimensional, they work the ball just one way, but Rory's different.
"He draws it, he cuts it, he knocks it down. He has all the shots, but what he hasn't learned is how to match that ability to differing wind conditions; how to see the shots he needs to play in the wind.
"I'd love to see him play with Christy O'Connor during the winter, or Christy Jnr, or Des Smyth -- old-fashioned players who are expert at reading the wind. Rory has the ability to play the shots. For him, it's simply a matter of learning how to choose the right ones and that will come in time."
Admitting he "cringes" every time he hears pundits and players place McIlroy on a par with Tiger Woods as golf's next great superstar, McGinley goes on: "Rory's only a kid and should not be weighed down so heavily with expectation.
"I think much of the hype heaped on Rory after his win at Congressional has been irresponsible. It's important that he's given room to grow and develop his talent without all this pressure.
"I'd be very reluctant to compare him to Tiger at the moment. Rory has won three tournaments and they were all fantastic, Rolls Royce performances.
"However, his career, ultimately, is going to be defined by his ability to win when he's not playing at his best. That was something Tiger did -- he's won tournaments even when playing poorly by his own standards. Rory's going to have to learn how to compete when he's not quite on his game.
"It's something he'll pick up over the next few years," McGinley adds. "Inevitably, he's going to make mistakes and screw up tournaments like everybody else; look at how many times Jack Nicklaus finished second at the Majors."
McIlroy's ability to bounce back from April's implosion at the Masters and win the US Open suggests to McGinley that he has the resilience to learn and bounce back fast from any setbacks in his career.
Ryder Cup veteran McGinley, who famously clinched victory for Europe at the Belfry in 2002 and then shared in subsequent record-breaking victories over the US at Oakland Hills and the K Club, captained the GB&I team, including McIlroy, to victory over Continental Europe at the 2009 Seve Trophy.
Yet he'd pay to watch McIlroy play. "I look at him and I think of that lottery advert where a big finger comes down from heaven and points out somebody," he explains. "That's what I think God has done with Rory. He's just given him all this talent to play the game.
"I'm a huge fan and not just because he's a likeable lad and good to be around. I also think he's riveting to watch."
As McIlroy is joined on the fairways in Killarney this week by British Open hero Darren Clarke and fellow Major winners Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington, McGinley expects massive crowds to make this week's Irish Open special.
After the loss of sponsors '3', this year's prize money has been halved to €1.5m, but McGinley insists: "For me, the success of an event has nothing to do with the size of the purse or even the venue. It's the atmosphere which makes or breaks a tournament.
"It's a matter of getting support from the Irish public. With two current Major champions in the field and both of them Irish, there's no reason why we won't have massive crowds this year.
"We're very good at supporting our own on this island," he adds. "I think the Irish Open is returning to its glory days, to be honest."
With six Major championships won in four years by Harrington, McDowell, McIlroy and, most recently, by Clarke, his room-mate during their first years on Tour, McGinley remarks: "It's incredible the number of Majors we've had for such a small island."
He insists the "hammerings" given to the US at recent Ryder Cups "boosted confidence in Europe and dented that of the Americans", eliminating any sense of "inferiority" on this side of the Atlantic and leading directly to the current domination of European Tour golfers.
Propelled into the world's top 20 when he won the biggest of his four European titles, the 2005 Volvo Masters, McGinley's own chance to capitalise on that confidence was stymied by the knee injury originally sustained playing Gaelic football as a teenager.
Yet there's no hint of self-pity, as McGinley says: "It's been a cross to bear but I've still had a very good career. I still feel I can play to a much better level than I have recently and I'm working hard to achieve that.
"I don't want to use the knee as an excuse. It gives me problems and will do so until the day I die, but it's one of those things. I'd still never give back my days as a GAA player because they're the foundation upon which I built a successful golf career. I'd not have been anywhere near as successful as a golfer had I not played football."
McGinley has several rapidly developing international business interests, from course design to clubstohire.com. Yet this famously dogged Irishman's heart is still firmly set on his quest for fulfilment as a golfer.

Overdraft Protection FAQs
What are the BENEFITS of authorizing OU Federal Credit Union to pay overdrafts on ATM & everyday debit card transactions?
- No cost to you if you don't overdraw your account
- Can serve as a backup to Overdraft Sequencing transfers from your other accounts or a line of credit (those overdraft transfers would occur first)
- Reduces the risk of having transactions, like paying for groceries, declined if you make an inadvertent error in your checking records or are late making a deposit
- Helpful in case of emergencies
What ACTION do you need to take?
If you DO want OU Federal Credit Union to consider authorizing and paying overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions, download the ODP Opt-In form and send it to us right away.
If you DO NOT want OU Federal Credit Union to consider paying overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions, complete the form and send it in to us. These transactions may be declined if you do not have sufficient funds in your account or other accounts you have designated for Overdraft Sequencing transfers.
Are there fees if I opt in?
There are no fees for opting in. If you do not have sufficient funds and your account will be overdrawn, you will pay a $35 overdraft fee each time an ATM or debit transaction exceeds your available balance. If you overdraw your account, you should make a deposit right away to bring your account to a positive balance.
Can I opt-in over the phone?
No, you must opt-in or out by completing the ODP Opt-In form .
If I opt in, will my debit card transactions always go through?
Whether a transaction is paid is at the discretion of the credit union and we cannot guarantee we will always authorize and pay a transaction. We reserve the right not to pay an item depending on factors such as your account history. Online Banking is a great way to keep track of your accounts and reduce the risk of overdrafts.
What other options do I have to cover overdrafts?
Overdraft Sequencing is available through automatic overdraft transfers from accounts you designate, such as savings or a line of credit. We will be happy to help you sign up for Overdraft Sequencing and apply for a line of credit if you do not already have one. Using Online Banking to keep tabs on your account can also help you avoid overdrafts.
I already have Overdraft Sequencing from my savings account. Why would I want to opt in?
If you need to make a debit card or ATM card transaction that would exceed your available balance (including your linked accounts or line of credit), opting in may allow us to approve that transaction and charge a fee to your account. If you do not opt in, that transaction may be declined.
If I have Overdraft Sequencing from savings AND I opt in to authorize the credit union to pay overdrafts on ATM and everyday debit card transactions, which process occurs first?
The Overdraft Sequencing transfers occur first.
I had signed up for Overdraft Sequencing transfers from my savings account and a line of credit. Will that stop if I do not opt in for OU Federal Credit Union to pay overdrafts on ATMs and debit card transactions?
No, it will not. Those are two separate processes.
What is the difference in Overdraft Sequencing and opting in for OU Federal Credit Union to pay overdrafts on ATM and debit card transactions?
When members sign up for Overdraft Sequencing, they are authorizing OU Federal Credit Union to automatically transfer funds from their other account(s) or line of credit if their checking account does not have sufficient funds for a transaction. When members opt in for OU Federal Credit Union to pay ATM and debit card overdrafts, they are authorizing OU Federal Credit Union to consider taking their account negative and charge an overdraft fee. Even if you already have Overdraft Sequencing, as a backup, you may also opt in for OU Federal Credit Union to pay ATM and debit card overdrafts.
Are my checks and automatic deductions affected by the new overdraft regulations?
No. The new regulations apply only to ATM and everyday debit card transactions.
Can any owner on an account opt in?
Yes. The authorization covers all account owners on that account.
How will I know when you've processed my request to opt in?
We will mail you a confirmation letter once your request has been processed. Please allow 3 business days for your request to be in effect.
If I opt in, can I opt out later if I change my mind?
Yes, you may opt out at any time. Please allow up to 3 business days for your request to in effect.
Can I still opt in later if I can't decide now?
You can opt in at any time. Please be aware that ATM and everyday debit card transactions may be declined if you have not authorized OU Federal Credit Union to consider paying overdrafts on those transactions.
I have only a savings account at OU Federal Credit Union. Can I opt in for that account so OU Federal Credit Union will pay ATM overdrafts from my savings account?
Members may opt in only for checking accounts, not savings accounts. Savings account transactions will be declined if funds aren't available.
**Note- For share savings and money market accounts, if applicable, Regulation D allows you to make up to six (6) preauthorized, automatic (using SoonerNet or an overdraft protection transfer), telephonic (including telephone and fax) or audio response (using Sooner or Later Line) transfers to another account of yours or to a third party during any statement period. For more details, please see the Membership & Account Agreement located on the credit union's website at www.oufcu.com.

Skip to comments.Stopping Hillary: Nixon son-in-law Ed Cox gearing up to challenge Clinton in '06 Senate race.
Posted on 05/13/2005 6:54:35 PM PDT by CHARLITE
HILLARY CLINTON'S reelection campaign for the United States Senate in 2006 may be tougher than expected. On Monday, May 2, the New York Observer reported that Clinton might face a challenge from Richard Nixon's son-in-law Ed Cox.
Cox, who has declined to make a statement on his intentions, has made steps toward running for Clinton's New York Senate seat, including launching an exploratory committee. Associates to Cox believe that he will win the endorsement of New York Governor George Pataki.
By the time Hillary Rodham married future president Bill Clinton in 1975, Ed Cox had been married to the daughter of then current president Richard Nixon for four years and had been making valuable in-roads within the Republican party. He became a loyal intimate to his father-in-law, standing by him through Watergate and regularly traveling abroad with the former president.
While Cox's Rose Garden wedding to Tricia Nixon brought him into the Nixon family, and in some ways the administration, Hillary was trying to bring it down. While on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee, she helped to write articles of impeachment against the president.
Those close to Cox are certain that he will embrace the Nixon legacy if he decides to run. But Cox has more to offer than that. Besides traveling to more than 30 countries with Nixon, Cox has traveled extensively on his own. He is chairman of the State University of Construction Fund, trustee of the State University of New York, chair of the New York State Council of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and commissioner of the New York State Commission on Judicial Nomination. In addition, Cox has written pieces for the New Republic and the New York Post.
Cox supporters realize that defeating Clinton is a long shot, but they also recognize that a Cox candidacy may be the only shot at stopping Clinton's reelection.
Michael R. Potts is a staff assistant at The Weekly Standard.
Regardless, someone has to run against her and at least make her work to get re-elected. She cannot be allowed to run unopposed.
Forget about Cox.
If any Nixon were to run, it should be Julie. She is brainy, beautiful, and conservative.

Remember when The Turtles (an LA band for you) played at the White House during Nixon's Presidency? It was for the birthday of one of the daughters, can't remember which one. When I lived in LA I used to go down to San Clemente now and then -- you could see Nixon's Casa Pacifica sitting way up on the cliff overlooking the ocean.
Oh, I agree somebody has to run against her, and there is always some outside chance something bad will crop up and bite her. But it will have to be a much better candidate than Lazio (not sure who that would be -- NY GOP pickings are pretty slim.) Her negative ratings in a poll taken a few days ago were only 28 percent; that's going to have to go up quite a bit in the next year and a half. A conviction of her chief fund raiser might help, but her followers are so ga-ga that I doubt anything short of murdering Slick Willie would hurt her much.
It's like Von Helsing Cox going after the beast Hiliary. It may seem hopeles at first, but something good may come of this.
His victory would be absolute poetry.

Nah, I grew up on the East Coast, worshipping the image of SoCal as seen in "The Endless Summer" and Beach Boys albums. It seemed like it would have been Paradise in those days. I visited a lot, but did not move out there until well into adulthood, in the mid-90s. I actually still liked it, and I still miss In-N-Out Burgers, and going to Huntington Beach in January when you can have it to yourself, and hiking in the Malibu Canyons. Still plenty of good stuff, which is why I think it's worth fighting for. But when you grew up there, man -- how I would have loved to have seen the orange groves and car culture at its zenith, and been around to watch all those great bands in person.

Catholics set Guinness World Record in stand against poverty
Catholic campaigners around the world have been taking part in a record-breaking stunt to draw attention to poverty. More than 23.5 million people participated in 'Stand Up Against Poverty' events. In Glasgow, SCIAF supporters made a stand against poverty in Kelvingrove Art Galleries & Museum, Glasgow on Sunday. Television presenter Kaye Adams, stars of River City, Glasgow Lord Provost, Liz Cameron and leading anti-poverty campaigner Kumi Naidoo participated in the Glasgow event and were joined by Archbishop Maroy from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Archbishop and colleagues from the DRC were visiting SCIAF and welcomed the opportunity to pledge their support in local languages including Swahili and French. They each made a personal pledge to 'Stand Up Against Poverty' and be counted as part of Scotland's contribution to the World Record. In London, campaigners, all dressed in white, gathered in London's Trafalgar Square on Tuesday morning, to hear editor-in-chief of the Guinness World Record Craig Glenday reveal the remarkable 23.5 million figure of people who symbolically 'stood up' against poverty in a 24 hour period and confirm a new Guinness World Record had been set. The latest figure as of 18 October was 23,542,614. Mr Glenday said: "This is the largest event Guinness World Record has been involved in. It's overwhelming for us to know that this many people have pulled together on a single day. We're still getting numbers in from around the world now, so this figure should increase. It shows amazing spirit." CAFOD campaigner Helen Cross, who took part in the Trafalgar Square event said: "It was amazing to know I was standing in solidarity with the poor with so many people throughout the world and being part of a global movement. " In the last 24 hours people from over 80 countries from Japan to Zimbabwe have taken part in the world record breaking attempt for the most number of people to literally 'Stand Up' against poverty. An incredible 18,457 people took part in 'Stand Up' events in the United Arab Emirates, around 1,200 youths gathered in Senegal and more than 1,500 people from more than 30 organisations, schools, churches, mosques as well as soccer players, culture groups, taxi drivers and well-wishes participated in Stand-Up events in Liberia. Meanwhile, activists held rallies in Nairobi and Johannesburg and in Asia, Nobel Peace Prize winner of 2006, Dr Muhammad Yunus revealed the World Record number to anti-poverty campaigners dressed in red and green Shari and Punjab in Dhaka, Bangladesh. United by the international symbol of the white band, the Global Call to Action Against Poverty (GCAP) represents more than 150 million people globally. The action marked the climax to a global month of action, which began on 16 September, with big mobilisations in Indonesia and Singapore at the time of the annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank. Campaigners have been demanding that world leaders tackle poverty, inequality and take the massive steps needed towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals, by delivering trade justice, further debt cancellation, a major increase in the quantity and quality of aid and an improvement in public accountability & transparency in developing countries.

The Mammut/Snowpulse R.A.S. is a removable avalanche airbag system designed to prevent the user from being buried in the event of an avalanche.
There has been a lot of interest in avalanche airbag systems over the past few years. The national media has reported on some high-profile incidents in which skiers' lives have been saved by these devices, and they do have an impressive track record of preventing burial and aiding rapid search-and-rescue efforts after being deployed in real-world emergencies. As a result, they can be a worthwhile investment for committed backcountry enthusiasts - but remember, they aren't a license to ignore the danger signs of avalanches. Even if you buy an airbag system, you should still be knowledgeable about avalanche dangers, avoid high-risk areas and conditions, ski with a partner, and carry a beacon, probe, and shovel.
With that said, let's talk about this particular airbag system. It's self-contained and easily removable, which means you can leave it behind when you want to use your backpack without the airbag. You can also transfer it into another RAS compatible pack, so that you have the most suitable backpack for the occasion - a smaller one for day trips or a larger one for multi-day tours, all using the same airbag. Once you arm the system and pull the attached t-handle, a bright red 150-liter airbag blows up behind your head to help keep you on top of the snow. Hang on, buddy - help is on the way.
If you pick up the RAS system from this page, be sure to also pick up a compatible backpack and an inflation cartridge, all of which are available here on GearX.com.
- Certified by the German safety agency TÜV SUED
- Compatible with all removable airbag backpacks
- Airbag can help to prevent complete burial
- Fast location thanks to the bright red color
- Removable airbag system
- Simple and intuitive operation
- Weight: around 850 grams (without cartridge)
- 150 liter red airbag balloon
- Airbag inflation: approx. 3 seconds
- Range of application -30 °C to +40 °C
- Easily stowable deployment handle

International auction house COYS will be selling the Ferrari Testarossa formerly owned by Sir Elton John at the Spring Classics sale in London this week. This is just one of 40 cars that will be auctioned off on March 12 at the Royal Horticultural Society, Lindley Hall. The 512 Testarossa, which Sir Elton John bought as new, has been driven 2,100 miles and is in pristine condition.
While Elton owned it, the vehicle has covered 1812 miles but it had to have its annual service. Elton drove his 28 cars regularly and he offered rides to multiple celebrities and dignitaries on them before they were auctioned off by Christie's in 2001. At that time, the 512 had sold for £98,000. It has a Rosso Corsa finish with a complementary beige interior. It also comes with a complete service history as well as Sir Elton's letter of ownership to prove its authenticity.
It was recently serviced at the Meridian Ferrari, curing which its cambelts were replaced. This Ferrari is estimated to cost £90,000- £110,000. According to Chris Routledge the Managing Director of COYS, this has to be the 512 TR with the lowest mileage offered currently on the market, with an extraordinary history of ownership. He said that since Ferrari prices are increasing, this car represents an opportunity for a real blue chip investment. Furthermore, this sale features two Ferrari Dino's, known to many as one of the most beautiful Ferraris. Also being put up for sale is the 1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT, one of just 152 models built.
It costs between £180,000 and £210,000 and had once been owned by Canadian film director David Cronenberg. The second model, which costs from £170,000 to £180,000, is a 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS in the unique "French racing blue." Collectors will also probably be looking out for the rare and exclusive 1974 E-Type Commemorative, one of 50 special roadsters made to commemorate the end of its production in 1974. This Jaguar, which only has been driven 25,950 miles, is predicted to cost from £115,000 to £135,000.

Application services that won't end on App close
Hi guys!
I have had this strange problem for a few weeks now and so far I can't figure out a solution or why it happens.
When closing an application, the application's service (in the Windows Task Manager) doesn't end with the closing of the application like it should. This is happening with 85% of my applications and they are known apps like Cyberlink Player, Burning software, and others. The Software doesn't hang... it closes normally but it's process is still in the task manager. I can right click and end the process with no problem but it should be ending when I close the software. One program (Edius) won't even open another process without me first ending the first one from the Task Manager Window.
I have checked (with 3rd party software) what other threads these processes might be hooked to, preventing it's ending but all seems normal and there should be no reason that it shouldn't close.
Just a note... I have very good knowledge about computer maintenance (I am a moderator on another Windows 7 forum and solve many problems for many people) and it is very rare that I can't find solutions for almost any problem but this one is a mystery for me and others that I have asked.
Any ideas?

Go to Start and type in msconfig. Then go to Start Up and un check everything except mouse, keyboard, security. Then go to services and in the lower left put a check in Hide All Microsoft Services. Now un-check every thing except security. Reboot and see if that takes care of your problem. You are not stopping these things you are just telling them not to start at boot and run in the background. Those things start and stop when Windows 7 or you tell them to.

I don't want to be rude, but I need to establish something so this doesn't become a 10 page thread. Please bear with me and don't get offended. I appreciate your willingness to help and I am open to all advice. We just need to jump to more advanced solutions and skip basic ones.
What I want to establish is that I have been fixing computers for the past 20 years and I am a computer engineer programmer and build software. So you can understand that I am well familiar with startup services and processes (I program them myself!) so you can be sure that I have thoroughly checked this but to no avail.
Please understand that I am writing this out of respect for you and any other that might try to help, but what I'm saying is that we can skip things like "restart your computer", "do a sfc scan", "scan for malware", etc...
If this was happening with ONE software only, I would suspect that the issue would be with the software coding in that it's not releasing itself from RAM when it exits. But since it's with lots of programs (that I have used before - even on this computer) I suspect that it's something else that's keeping threads in RAM. I have tried uninstalling all software, codecs, updates, and more, that have been installed on the computer since the problem but it didn't help. I do not want to restore the computer to 3 months ago (although I can since I use 3rd party backup software and make a backup every 2 weeks and save up to 6 months of these).
This is not a simple problem and it really can only be solved if someone had experienced this before.
Again, thanks for your help and your time and please understand me.

I don't know WHY this solved the problem but it did... 95%.
All I did was align my SSD drive (which is my C drive... I never noticed it wasn't aligned.). Now 95% of the processes end when I exit their programs!

"This league should be put to an end. IPL is not a sport but a mere 'tamasha' (buffoonery) and fixing has put a blot on it," Chouhan, who was here on a religious trip, said.
It would be in the larger interest of the game that the tournament is discontinued, Chouhan said.
Earlier, Janata Dal(United) had made a similar demand, saying that every edition of the tournament has been marred with "scandals".
"Human beings (players) are being auctioned. When one is auctioned, his values are also sold. IPL's motive from the very beginning is only minting money and not encouraging games," JD-U chief Sharad Yadav had said.
Three cricketers, including pace bowler S Sreesanth, have been arrested on charges of spot-fixing in the IPL matches.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Car wants to stall at low idle. on 2001 Toyota Camry
I just turned 89000 miles and have maintained the vehicle very well. After it warms up and when i stop or slow down, it wants to stall. If i put it in neutral and rev the engine, then it is ok. I have changed oxygen sensor, air sensor, fuel filter and had it checked by many mechanics even at a Toyota dealership, but nobody can find anything. It has been doing this for about 6 years. Also check engine light comes on from time to time. Changed gas cap also.
What code(s) does it have when the C.E.L. comes on?
The code is PO446. Thanks for any help.
Have you noticed any relation of this problem with the amount of gas in the tank , ie when FULL, or dosen't matter? Does it seem to be running rich as in too much fuel to the engine when it acts up, ie black smoke at all from the exhaust? How often does this happen, once in a week or more often?
Strange you should ask that. I noticed that it happens more often when the tank is full. When it gets below half a tank or even a quarter tank, it doesn't seem to do it as much if at all.
Very good possibility it' an EVAP problem. Fuel entering system and intermittently flooding engine. However these problems are often difficult to diagnose, unless acting up when being tested! Not much help i know but may lead mechanic in the right direction, cant hurt it seems.
Thanks for your help. I'll relay that on to my mechanic. The code did say "evap". The first thing he did was change the gas cap. He said with that code, 90% of the time that will solve the problem, but it didn't help. I was also told it could be the "canister" and/or solenoid in the evap system. Never had that checked yet and it could be a little costly.
That's what i was thinking, hope the mechanic can experience the actual problem, that always helps in finding a solution.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

GELPI Projects is a design practice dedicated to examining the relationships between materiality and building concepts, by focusing on the material consequences of form. Through counterintuitive combinations of form and material properties, we seek to provoke unexpected feedback in the design process. By examining the familiar forms around us we find subtle ways of materializing architecture. We bend and stress materials and engage construction to find new opportunities through investigation, not by abandoning the material for the virtual, rather by collapsing them into a laminated reality, informed by the contradictions of both layers.
We explore architecture at specific scales, zooming in and out looking for unexpected behaviors of material and form. Our work cultivates a design practice that explores buildings in the city, spatial installations, furniture, material experiments and mockups, by examining architectural thinking across diverse scales. We investigate the material details of architecture by participating in the construction process; questioning familiar forms through subtle distortions of material and fabrication.
Our ambitions are to produce projects of depth by emphasizing material experience and detail, over graphic superficiality, in which architecture remains a place of new discovery and embodied experience. We actively seek out these conditions by testing the issues of practice that are vital. Our work is not hard, monumental, bulletproof or ideal, rather it is soft, nuanced, distorted and contingent.
We propose projects that utilize our design experiments, and engage new potential energies between the familiar and strange. While our projects seek to question the role of familiar details, we also want to separate the notion of performance from design. In a way, this approach treats architecture itself, as a material we bend and stretch, by engaging it from new positions. While we think architecture has a center, we find more comfortable positions on the periphery from where we look back in hopes of discovering or reinventing what it is that we're orbiting around.

I was wondering when I would have to work, as in what season and for how long during the year? Am I going to be able to work there and go to college in Ohio the same year, or should I be looking into a school in Florida? This is assuming I get hired, of course, which is probably less than likely.

I made it from a foam green brocade drapery panel and some cotton print lining, both in greens. I like lots of pockets and zippers
note front zipper it has:
my wallet chained in there, [I lose them....]
I wanted a secret [?] zipper pocket for my MP3
so I put it in the handle next to the ring I attached the whole handle to on one side so I can clip my keys to it.
the inside features two big dividers, a zippered pocket [for the camera] and a smaller pocket on the divider for pens and the Tide stain remover
I filled it so you can see the pockets and lining
no tutorial it took forever to make it and I kept having to revise my ideas......
but I took two big rounds for the outside and four for the inside and two each long pieces about 6" X 60". and lots o' zippers,

Meet the beautiful cape-crusaders of Bollywood
The cape coat, jacket or sleeve is a style that is trending internationally. We have seen beauties like Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonam Kapoor and singer Kanika Kapoor sporting the cape on different occasions with varied results.
Here's a lowdown on some of the recent sightings of the cape.
Huma Qureshi: The 'Badlapur' actress donned a black gown with a sheer cape that had floral applique work done on it at a recent awards ceremony. Statement ear cuffs were her accessory of choice.
Ileana D'Cruz: While this cape looks straight out of a fantasy film, one can't deny the element of drama it added to Ileana D'Cruz's outfit at an awards show. The lady kept her accessories to a minimum sporting only a big metallic belt. Ileana's restraint did not make her ensemble over-the-top or tacky.
Priyanka Chopra: Known for her edgy fashion sense, Priyanka Chopra sported this royal blue cape with denims and wedge boots. The cape had a skull print on the back. With this outfit, PeeCee flaunted the rock chic look.
Nimrat Kaur: The Lunchbox actress opted for this pink gown created by designer Georges Hobeika for an awards function in Britain. The gown had a plunging neckline and cape sleeves with sequins on it.
Sonakshi Sinha: The actress flaunted a dressy summer look with this printed draped dress, which was paired with a matching cape with detailing near the neck. The statement ear cuffs added to her charm.

Saudi Arabia's allies praised Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Saturday following his death at the age of 80, with the United States saying he would be missed.
The crown prince, aged 80 according to government records, served as the oil kingpin's defence minister for nearly five decades but had been in the United States since mid-June for medical treatment.
A Western diplomat, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said Prince Sultan had been hooked up to life support systems at New York Presbyterian hospital and was declared "clinically dead" more than a month ago.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on a trip to the Central Asian nation of Tajikistan, said the prince would be "missed," stressing Washington's enduring ties with the oil-rich Gulf state.
"I offer my deepest condolences for this loss to King Abdullah and the Saudi people," she said. "He will be missed."
In Jordan, King Abdullah II opened a World Economic Forum in the country's Dead Sea resort town with a minute of silence in the late prince's honour, hailing him as a "champion of the Arab and Muslim cause."
Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron said he was "saddened" to hear of Sultan's death.
"He had many friends in this country, and we have all benefited from his wisdom and expertise in international affairs over his long years of service," the prime minister said.
Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, wrote to King Abdullah, his Clarence House office said.
"The Prince of Wales sent a personal letter of condolence to the king of Saudi Arabia expressing his deep sadness at the news," a spokesman said.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a statement she had learned of the prince's death "with great sadness" and offered her "sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to the Kingdom and its people for the great loss."
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said: "He served the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for many years with great dignity and dedication. His contribution to the prosperity and development of the kingdom will long be remembered.
Crown Prince Sultan's long tenure as defence and aviation minister included the massive Al-Yamamah arms deal, a rolling programme of shipments of high-tech military hardware which represents Britain's biggest ever export contract. Heavy graft rumours have long swirled around the agreement.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, despite strains in ties with Riyadh over his security forces' deadly crackdown on anti-regime protests, also sent condolences to the king.

Fair Play gives Drogs and Galway Europa lifeline
DROGHEDA United or Galway United could receive an unlikely lifeline into European competition after it emerged that the League of Ireland is within touching distance of securing an extra Europa League place through the medium of Fair Play.
The latest figures released by UEFA put Ireland in fifth place in the UEFA Respect Fair Play Rankings, just 0.01 points behind third-placed England.
The top three countries get an additional spot in Europe's second competition. Sweden and Denmark currently top the list.
Those rankings are determined by club and national team performances in UEFA competitions until April 30, under criteria such as positive play, respect for the opponent, respect for the referee, behaviour of the crowd and team officials, as well as cautions and dismissals.
Ireland have just one senior international -- against Brazil -- between now and then, while several English teams remain in European club competitions.
However, the final coefficient is drawn from an average mark.
If Ireland do manage to overtake fourth-placed Finland and then England to enter the top three, it would swell their number of participants in the Europa League to four.
The highest-ranked side in the League of Ireland's Fair Play table would be the lucky recipient, but with first and second placed Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers already qualified for Europe, the next best are Drogheda and Galway, who finished joint third in the discipline stakes for 2009.
The FAI have confirmed that a draw would take place to determine which side would capitalise in the event of that scenario developing.
Meanwhile, Cork City yesterday confirmed that they have parted company with talented midfielder Billy Dennehy, who is on the radar of Shamrock Rovers and Hartlepool United -- with other suitors also hovering.
A cancellation of contract was mutual agreed between the ex-Sunderland midfielder and the troubled Leesiders.
Cork owner Tom Coughlan is understood to be considering an offer to sell the club this weekend, with an interested buyer working in conjunction with financial advisors Quintas believed to be ready to step into the breach.
However, any takeover is subject to Coughlan writing off some of the money that he has pumped into the Leesiders.
The Leesiders are in real danger of missing out on a Premier Division licence for 2010, with the end of the month approaching and substantial amounts of money owed to creditors.

I just ate at the new pizza place on Airport Blvd. (near 52nd Street) called House Pizzeria. I can not believe how nice this place is -- screened in dining area (for those of us who'd rather be out than in), great beer and wine selection, and "gourmet" style pizza. This definitely rivals Salvation Pizza in terms of quality, but it is much less expensive. (And closer to my house, which is a bonus.)
I understand that their wood-fired pizza oven was imported from Italy -- it looks like they spared no expense with this place. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's lovely inside, and the food is very good.

Ex-Coolmore sire Spartacus dies aged 12
SPARTACUS, a dual Group 1-winning two-year-old for Aidan O'Brien, has died at stud in Australia.
The son of Danehill was found dead in his paddock at Cangon Stud in New South Wales late last month and was found to have died of complications from a ruptured aorta. He was 12.
Spartacus spent four years at stud under the Coolmore banner in County Tipperary until 2008, when The Oaks Stud in New Zealand bought him outright.
A former champion first-season sire in New Zealand, he had been transferred to Cangon Stud for the current southern-hemisphere breeding season.
Jaime Mackay of Cangon Stud said: ""It has been a huge loss for all of us as he has been so well received by breeders as he had so much to offer.
"We now look forward to the arrival of his foals in 2013. With his passing the search has already started to find a suitable replacement for next season."
Spartacus, a brother to Group 1 performer Johann Cruyff, won the Phoenix Stakes and Gran Criterium at two.
He is the sire of northern-hemisphere stakes winners All The Aces, Rastignano and Strait Of Mewsina. His best southern-hemisphere performer is New Zealand Group 3 scorer Spare A Fortune.

Laptop - Choose your brand
Hi all,
This thread is to choose your favuorite laptop based on the brand company.
You can choose poll option in which various brand are available.
If you still wanna to add ant info; Post as a reply......
So start now....... starting with me itself..!
I love Dell as I have owned it for my personal use.
Moved to hardware and electronics
Please post in the proper forums.
My laptop is HP .. It runs pritty smooth because i take good care of it I've had it for over 2 years now.
I'd like a new laptop tho, cause this one i lacking in HD space.
I didn't know Aspire was a brand... thought it was one of Acer's product lines?
Anyway can anyone shed some light on which brand usually has the best laptop casings, that don't easily get scratched / damaged etc.
I'm not much of a fan of any of those. Toshiba and IBM is pretty good on that list, but my two personal favorite companies are Sager and Asus. In the case of Sager, they're all just rebadged Compals and Clevos, thus I'm also a fan of those. I'm in the market for a laptop right now, and I'm going for a Sager notebook. I plan on placing the order soon. The prices are amazing. I don't understand why many don't buy notebooks from them.
I love my beautiful little macbook, and for all those laptops I've ever tried, nothing has yet come near to Apple's powerbooks, or macbook pros. They are neat, and handy, and they work better than anything I've ever had upon my lap. And, yes they also last for a while. My father had his powerbook for four years, but then he sort of dropped it on the floor. Well, nothing lasts forever
Just dropped on the floor and it broke? I know somone with a powerbook, and they are extremely clumsy and constantly drop it, the laptop has been mostly free of problems. i would probably choose an apple, although the Sony laptops are quite nice ( i think).
First i've thought to be in that forum (Hardware and Electronics) only....
But after thinking in other way, I posted in Genral Chat...
Any how Thanks for moving it to the appropriate forum....
i am using dell with windows vista, it is being good.
I've got a Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705 and I love it. It was by far the cheapest thing I could get with its specs. I had a problem with it and they replaced the laptop leaving me the old one to transfer data for two weeks. Also there's lots of people with Dell laptops, so you always find people to help you for specific stuff.
I picked a dell since that's is what I am using right now but if I had to chose it would be a mac because they tend to be more powerful and have more memory.
Dell is the best bang for the buck right now. I got a top of the line laptop from them in January of this year and I have only had 2 problems with it and they were all taken care of within 48 hours of me making the tech support call by their in home tech support. It's probably been the most wonderful experience with a computer company I have ever had and I deal with them all the time at my job.
wow I'm surprised that somebody voted for acer last time I checked them they were very badly designed (i.e. breaking the screen is super easy) anyways I voted for Apple because I felt liking Apples today
I voted for HP, cause my wife updated her old HP with I new HP, and HP makes some solid machines once you completely remove the promotional software that comes with 'em.
I myself just bought an ASUS F3T serious laptop. I love it. best part about it is dedicated graphics memoryv(256MB worth), most other laptops use shared memory for graphic processing.
My vote goes to Sony, I love my good old vaio... but in the future, whenever I will have to change, it will be Apple
Personally I would NOT recommend Acer laptops , they are designed in that way that something in this machine will be not working day after your warranty have gone. Voted for Sony - for internals
At the time of this posting, an overwhelming 38% of the people have voted for Dell laptops.
IMHO, Dell has got an extensive range of laptops satisfying the price-performance ratios and features required by the busy office-goer as well as the on-the-go gamer. I have myself owned a Dell laptop since October 2005, and I haven't had as many problems as my other friends who own laptops from other manufacturers.
The downside of the HP models is that their displays are very unreliable, while the heat dissipation in Toshiba models is a major issue. These are the two closest competitors to Dell in the US market as far as I know for the PC-laptop area.
Apple iMacs are a different story altogether. Those are for the performance and aesthetics minded guys who don't mind shelling out money for the same! Not many people in that category, but I guess Apple is happy enough to have its own niche in the notebook market, though it might lose out in the eventual numbers game.
I like Sony VAIOs, coz they are much visually appealing. HP is nt bad too, but i dun really like dell tho...
I am proud owner of Dell. I own it almost for two years now and I still works like a charm for me. My next laptop will also probably be Dell or maybe Sony Vaio.
After seeing what Linux seems to run on the easiest and what seems to last, I was looking at Dells, as IBM/Lenovo is still a bit more expensive for the specs. After Dell committed to support Linux, I have to say that Dell is my choice
IM a big fan of Sony Vaio's . They are awesome
I have a Dell Latitude C400 or something like that, I bought second hand last december.
Then I hapend to thread on it (no kiding.) So the screen broke, no trouble there as I had an monitor anyway.
So then some weeks ago, the thing didn't start up, it just gave a harddrive 0 not found error and went cachug cachug.
I'm afraid the harddrive is toast (I hope not, I hadn't baked up about 500 rows of php code from it, and some novells I written).
Otherwise I would have gone Dell as it has been a good functioning computer and playing around well with Debian GNU\Linux too.
Dell for home use.
IBM / Lenovo for workplace use.
Look at the new "Vostro" line of Dells. They are outstanding. They come with no crappy add-on software, only the basic Windows install. Their specs are amazing for the price too.
Yesterday only I got my brand new Dell Vostro 1500 series Laptop from overseas.
As compared with all the brands, It was Awesome, Pretty looking and Very cheap with the lastest configurations...
I'm not a fan of laptops, you have to pay twice as much for half the power of a desktop. And it is a lot easier to upgrade a desktop setup. Laptops are good for school work, but for any thing else I prefer my desktop.
I have to agree with Shewolf and go with Apple.
As far as laptops go, Apple Laptops are defiantly WAYYYY more bang for the buck. I only paid $1350 for my Core 2 Duo MacBook (white), and it runs better than every other laptop I have ever used/owned including a:
Dell XPS (17")
Toshiba Satellite (old and new models)
Dell Inspiron E1505
Dell Latitude
IBM Thinkpad
A Few NEW HP models
It just seems to get the most battery life, it is by far the smallest laptop of all the ones I have ever used, lightweight, and it has the most features packed into it including:
Gigabit ethernet
MagSafe power connector
Magnetic Cover (no clips to close it)
Security Lock
Mini-DVI port
BlueTooth 2.0
And a few others. It is nice and I love my MacBook.
Sure The MacBook (white or Black) can't run all games due to its video limits (Intel GMA950), but it does do the best with it. I get amazing FPS with it (especially for being integrated with 64MB shared).
If you want gaming with all features and bigger screen, get a MacBook Pro. It has a real video card in them, and runs even more amazing than MacBook.
And to anyone wondering, I have hated apple computers/OS's up until 10.4.6 of OSX, so I am not a die hard Apple fan that is just trying to convert people.
Er. 802.11n ("wireless-n") doesn't even exist yet, there's only 802.11n DRAFT available. Not even on the holy MacBooks there is official 802.11n...
I realize n is still draft.
But they do still come with it, and Draft N still works MUCH better than G.
I own a Compaq Presario V6000z series Lappy powered by
AMD Turion X2 64 bit Processor
and more....
I'm 99% positive that I'm going for a Clevo D900C rebranded as a Sager NP9260 which is $1,174 cheaper (as I have configured) than the Alienware m9750 (a rebranded D900C). To understand this you need to understand the concept of ODMs, of which a great explanation is available here (a somewhat biased source) and wikipedia (not a necessarily trusted source either but take it with a grain of salt if you must). I have also found the wealth of knowledge on the notebookreview forums invaluable. Best of luck tempdbs at whatever it is you are trying to accomplish (I'm not entirely sure if you are simply polling us or are trying to determine what notebook/laptop brand you should purchase).
Oh and in case you are wondering:
Intel Core 2 Duo (2nd gen "core" akin to "pentium" and 2x1 cores) E6700 (2.66GHz)
1xNvdia 7950gtx w/ 512mb gddr3 (sli is too expensive for what it's worth)
4gb 667mhz ram (you will only see 2-3gb on typical 32-bit OSes)
2x160gb SATA-300 HDDs
and yes ForceRun you certainly get more "bang for your buck" with desktops (especially if you assemble the components yourself) but you know sometimes you have to pay the price for portability, even if it is a desktop-replacement
Oh It's Awesome price and comparitively very cheap.. and I was astonished by seeing your price... Let me know where you have ordered and reviews for this Desktop.
Thanks myrevolt and hope this thread helps all the foregoing buyers.
I've had my Apple MacBook Pro for almost a year now, and it still runs as well as the day I bought it. I haven't changed a thing on it. Except it's got two scratches now. I've dropped it and it's gotten some rought usage (at school). It runs everything from games to OpenOffice like a breeze.
And no, I'm not one of the diehard Apple fans either, I just really like my laptop.
Excellent. I, being a Sager fan, am glad to see someone else getting one. I recently ordered a Sager myself (still waiting for it). The way the notebook industry works is quite something. Sager, unlike other brands, sells the same notebooks notebooks as other brands at prices that make sense.
Also, I should point out that the Clevo D900C/901C is the most powerful notebook one can get right now. I remember reading somewhere that it accomplished a 3DMark06 over 10000. It may seem you have to pay a huge premium to get it, until you see Sager's prices.
I really like xxodd computers, or custombuild.... but im shocked.... 11 votes for DELL.... dell is slow, non-overcloccable, expensive, u are forced to buy an os with it, however its not a big point anymore becouse u can choose ubuntu.... but i dont really like dell....
Actually. Dell has gotten infinitesimally better with its laptops. They are now one of the best companies for them.
ahhh, i misread, its for laptops brands.... then custombuild is a bit hard....
I use a Dell and I am reasonably happy with it. Everything works well in Linux, only complaint is that the hardware isn't very durable on the particular model I am using. But there are other Dells that are better in terms or durability.
Whats the DELL model that you are using currently... as you have some hardware probs.
Well I currently have the Asus G2P after a few months of deciding I came across some info about notebooks:
Virtually none of the Name brands manufacture their own laptops, with the about the only exception being Asus. Instead they buy their laptops from what is called an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM). These ODMs sell their computers to several different OEMs (like DELL, Toshiba, Lenovo (formerly IBM), HP, Compaq, Sager, PowerPro, Sony and many others) who then install the Hard Drive (usually a Seagate, Fujitsu, Hitachi or Toshiba), an Intel or AMD Processor, and System Memory. They then put their label on it and market it.
For example:
An ODM named Clevo makes the Sager NP9890 and the Alienware Area-51 m7700, the Voodoo Envy u:703, the Hypersonic Aviator EX7, the Falcon Northwest FragBook DR 6800, and they are all the same computer (although Sager usually has the more advanced and exotic technology).
Of course the Sager models have a much sweeter price tag!
An ODM named Compal makes some of the DELL, Hewlett Packard and Compaq line of laptops, among others, as well as the PowerPro L 8:15 (Built on Compal HEL80).
ASUS, famous worldwide for their top quality motherboards and other components makes their own laptops and call them their Ensemble line. They also sell their Built-on-ASUS line to many different OEMs including PowerNotebooks.com. These models are the PowerNotebooks.com PowerPro A 2:24 (Built on ASUS 96J), the Crown R 6:22 (Built on ASUS Z92Km), the PowerPro P 2:14 (Built on ASUS Z62F), and the Crown C 3:15 (Built on ASUS Z33Ae).
The Dell Latitude and the Sony Vaio are made by Quanta, who also makes many of the IBM laptops, and the now-discontinued PowerPro C 3:16, and the new PowerPro G 3:14 (Built on Quanta SW1). Quanta is well known as one of the best and highest quality laptop ODM in the world.
Other ODM names are Mitac, FIC, AOpen, and Uniwill, among others. Not exactly what you would call Name brands, and yet it is their laptops that end up with the Name brands on them.
Well, you get the idea.
Some call this the Dirty little secret of the Laptop Industry.
Yeah I know there is an added price for Laptop due to size and function. I'm looking into get a Laptop for school use only. Any ideas? Power doesn't matter, just want the hardware to be dependable, not come loaded with a bunch of crapy apps, or at least allow me to reinstall the system so it is clean, and above all cost. I am just a poor student, all be money goes to food, and my gaming rig, lol.
Dell rox, in my opinion it's now high-end and Apple-like quality I have latest Inspiron 1420 in white color Looks like Mac Book Pro
My First laptop was a Dell Inspiron back in college. then I upgraded to an Apple PowerBook G4 and never looked back. Now I'm working with a MacBook Pro.
What is the performance of Lenova from IBM.. Any hardware issues with this...?
Just share....
I want to get a MacBook Pro.
My MacBook (white) is great, but for my latest projects I need something with a little more Power.

Gill McPartlan, project manager of the Wise Group, has spent the last few weeks giving advice on getting that job. Now she looks at how to negotiate the deal that you want.
Negotiating a deal
So you've been offered the job of your dreams, and you are over the moon. But then the salary isn't quite what you were expecting…what do you do? Negotiate.
Most recruiters leave some room for negotiation when they first offer a salary package, but this negotiation is a delicate process. If you demand too much you may lose the job altogether, but settling for too little will not make you happy in the long run.
Here are some do's and don'ts to bear in mind when negotiating:
Do: - Look at the reasons you applied for the job in the first place and balance out what was important.
- Work out what you need to make the job viable taking into account extra costs such as travel, childcare, relocation etc.
- Does the pay rise structure of the company offer you potential to earn more quickly.
- Negotiate on some benefits if the salary is non-negotiable. For example is there a cash equivalent instead of the company car, are a few more days holiday possible, pension etc.
- If you think there may be another job offer on the horizon don't dangle it like a carrot, that makes you look like you are just in it for the money - just let them know there may be another offer you would like to weigh up and buy yourself some extra time.
Don't: - Resign until you have an offer in writing and have accepted in writing.
- Forget that an offer will be dependent on good references from your current employer.
- Lie about your current salary - P45s show your real worth.
- Take the first job you are offered, if you have doubts then jump in with both feet - you will regret it.
The Wise Group is a charitable group. It helps jobless and low paid workers into sustainable posts as well as providing support for employers while they make the transition.
