I use it as a student and for recreational use. The specs are fantastic and the functionality is very impressive. If you want Angry Birds or eBooks, go buy an iPad (actually, on second though: don't! The W500 can run apps, games, books, music, videos...ANYTHING you can do with your desktop, you can do with the tab (except run newer games at high settings, obviously, but with a USB mouse, gaming is definitely still an option). I would not trade this for an iPad, a Nook, and a Kindle COMBINED. I wouldn't even trade it for a Macbook, because astonishingly this thing outclasses the Air and many other versions Macbooks out there, with HALF the price and full functionality AND touch capability.

Summary Although the tablet is a little heavy, I love the practicality ot a "netbook" with the convenience of a tablet that can be easily removed from the Docking Station. Perhaps I am not tech savvy enough, but I really like the Docking Station and excellent keyboard which I find very easy to use. I also love the fact that I can use the USB Ports on the station to transfer files, print, tether via USB when desired. I think ACER created a very cool hybrid that combines the convenience and portability of a tablet with the functionality of a netbook.
"Best tablet by far! Real computer not a toy. Love it!"
on by yeshualovesu2Pros I love the screen, and the fact that it uses a real operating system like Windows 7. I love that it has an HD port and SD card slot and USB port. I also love that it comes with a keyboard that you can use when you need to. Everything I can do on my laptop

Being able to keep the tablet to the keyboard without it docked so not having to worry about misplacing the keyboard dock is the biggest room for improvement. I use this machine mostly for work (in IT) and it is great for being able to test things, check email, remote to other systems while away from my desk and assisting users and it is fabulous. I can charge it overnight and get a full day's use out of it the next day.
"The greatest of all Netbooks, the least of all tablets."
on by JonathanNJPros Screen, viewing angles, multitouch responsiveness, Windows 7, two USB ports on the tablet itself, Bluetooth, decent video,
Cons Battery life, processor gets bogged down easily, for Web browsing still work well with pinch-to-zoom
Summary Forget about the "keydock" contraption. Consider the W500 as a Windows tablet, able to pair with any USB or Bluetooth keyboard, or just resort to the wonky on-screen keyboard. And what have you got?
The greatest of all Netbooks, the least of all tablets.
There needs to be context. There have always been Windows tablets--questionable Archos tabs, overpriced UMPCs, and convertible tablets with swiveling screens. Aside from a few hot-rod $1,000 models, the Netbook-based Windows tabs like the Dell Inspiron Duo and Lenovo s10-3t have suffered from glacial sluggishness and cheap LCD screens whose poor viewing angles make actual tablet use a pain. Hold it wrong and the image turns blue!
But that's where the Tab W500 delivers. As a multitouch-based Windows 7 Netbook-tablet, it just works. Touch response is quick if not buttery smooth, finger-swipe scrolling works in Firefox and IE but not Chrome, and pinch-to-zoom...works on pictures but lags for websites. Now this screen--it's beautiful! Off-axis viewing angles are nearly perfect. The image is almost as stable as my smartphone, or an iPad.
That screen quality is a huge deal, and it means that if you're thinking about a Windows Netbook at all, the Iconia W500 is the ONLY way to get an excellent screen!.
But, as a tablet? The processor bogs down easily--one Flash video at a time, max--and battery life is insufficient for e-reader duty--4 hours of surfing, 2-3 hours of Flash video. It's also too blasted heavy to hold comfortably--two pounds for the tablet only. Compared to the iPad and slew of Android Tablets in its price range, the Iconia W500 cannot compete.
So the point of this computer is really just Windows 7--full document and spreadsheet editing, PDF editing if you buy software, regular desktop programs, full Web support, both Flash and Silverlight. It elevates that Netbook experience with its touch input and great viewing angles.
The problem is, after spending two weeks with my new W500 tablet and writing half this review on its wonky ON-SCREEN keyboard, I'm still jealous for an iPad or any Android tab that runs Flash. Even with their limitations, mainstream tablets are very functional--focused, you might say--and they all have excellent battery life. This little touchbook is such a different machine, a traditonal computer that dressed up in a tablet costume, a jack-of-all-trades that excels at nothing, except for that screen. The Android tablets and iPad have a gravity to them, because they're designed to do fewer things but do them very well.
The bottom line? The W500 is for those looking for a Netbook, not a tablet. As a Windows machine, it's a decent Netbook with a bonus touch screen. As a tablet, it's too heavy and the battery life is nearly inexcusible.

"Once you've skated together long enough, and you're really good friends, you can close your eyes, put your hand out and she's right there." Joe Dolkiewicz, 2011 US Novice Pairs Bronze Medalist
Did Tonya have a problem with meth? Poor thing. That stuff is worse than heroin, so I hear. My addiction runs to sweet white German wine and tylenol with codeine when I can get it. Not necessarily in combination.
Dear God Tonya reproduced?
I never smoked, but family members do and I understand how difficult it is to stop. As to drinking, I strongly believe - no alcohol while pregnant. But, even doctors will say that a half glass of wind now and then won't hurt.
I am not a fan either, but I do hope she has a healthy baby and that her marriage works out. She's had a tough life. Yes, much of it brought on by herself, but she deserves some happiness.
I have followed all of the articles on Tonya and never once was it mentioned that she was a meth addict.
Sometimes I think for some people they feel it is the cool thing to dump on Tonya Harding. I seriously don't get the absolute bile spewed at the woman after all these years. She has made some mistakes, gotten in some serious trouble, but even she deserves a frickin break. The stuff with Nancy happened in 1994, almost 20 years ago. People get federal pardons after 7 years...but for some people you would think she should have served a life sentence...
~I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.~ (Charles R. Swindoll)
I don't feel like she should serve a life sentence, but that is what has happened to Nancy. I doubt whether she will ever be free from anxiety when strangers get too near, according to those close to her. And since Tonya's original plan was to kill Nancy, that is exactly what would probably have happened to her if the plan had not been changed to just maiming Nancy for life....because that WAS the 2nd plan. Sean was supposed to break her kneecap but he missed.
Like others, I hope Tonya has a healthy baby but I do think it will have a nut for a mother. And since her own mother was abusive, I can't imagine where Tonya would have gotten decent parenting skills. Her lifestyle since the whack hasn't been around the classiest of people.
Well put.
I wouldn't mind having Tonya as a neighbor one bit. Nor as a friend if we click. I grew up in an area where my cousin was shot to death for selling drugs on someone else's turf. I think I could deal with Tonya just fine.
Neither have I. That allegation is pretty out there.
Yet another excellent post. Too bad site won't let me do any more reps.
Ain't no doubt. Mike Tyson didn't do too badly for himself either in his 'comeback' to the ring after a rape charge.

Congrats to my ♥Baroque Rock Princess Adelina♥Meryl&Charlie♥Tatiana&Maxim♥!Team ♥Mirai♥Adam♥Julia♥D&W♥V&T♥
I followed the news with Nancy and Tonya and while it was brought up to kill Nancy, it was very quickly scrapped by the men involved with the assault. But I do remember it was briefly mentioned.
While Tonya was immersed in the plan, and it was for her benefit, more blame should be placed on the ex, the thug who hurt Nancy, the bodyguard and the get away driver. Yes, Tonya was involved but to what extent we will never really know. All parties are going to be attempting to cover their butts, no one wants to be seen as more guilty hurting innocent Nancy.
That said, people can get pardons after 7 years. For some people, Tonya should serve life. I find that sad.
~I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.~ (Charles R. Swindoll)
Nobody here has said that Tonya should have gone to jail for life. She paid her legal debt for that crime and the criminal case is closed. The end of her legal woes doesn't mean we suddenly have to trust or like her as a person, especially with the other problems she's created for herself since then.For some people, Tonya should serve life.
Darling PeterG, have we another bon mot to start our day? I'm eagerly awaiting....
You're right, trust is not something that should easily be given. And I don't particularly like her or think much of her. However, I do wish for her that she finds peace and that she can move her life forward in a productive way. And it really doesn't matter much what anyone else thinks about her - she has to make her own life better for herself.
There is a difference between serving your time and/or getting a pardon and the public's acceptance of you back into society. One simply deals with the legal aspects of your status in society, and the other is all about others' perception of you. You do have to consider that just because someone was pardoned or on parole or served their time doesn't mean that society accepts them fully. I'm not saying that its wrong or right and of course it depends on the crime, but there have been cases where former convicts have had trouble implementing themselves back into mainstream society.
Anyway, I think Tonya would have been forgiven a lot sooner for her involvement in the whack if she didn't have a history of self-destructive behavior that happened before the whack and continued on after. That said, I don't wish her ill-will and hope for the best for her.
"Corporation, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." - Ambrose Bierce
You just summed up my feelings on Tonya beautifully. Yes, she served her time. However, for the longest time she continued to be self destructive and did everything possible to stay in the public eye - she flat our expressed resentment that everyone else "profited" from the whack except her. Every year you could pretty much count on hearing about Tonya doing something crazy before Nationals/Worlds to the point where it didn't seem like coincidence, more like a deliberate attempt to get attention when the annual focus on skating occurred. Add in the fact that the further we got from the attack, the more people treated it like it was a big joke and made fun of Nancy and her cries of "why," somehow the world lost sight of the fact that this was a vicious attack on an athlete who could have had her career ruined for life. I probably could have been more forgiving if Tonya's focus had been more on redemption and turning her life around rather that whacked out bids for attention.
I do hope she has a healthy baby and turns out to be a good mother; maybe motherhood will be a rock she can anchor to and get some stability and happiness in her life. I wish her well. I also apologize for the sudafed remark;I interpreted it as a slam on Tonya's lowbrow image, and I know she was not an addict. That was unfair, mea culpa.
"Once you've skated together long enough, and you're really good friends, you can close your eyes, put your hand out and she's right there." Joe Dolkiewicz, 2011 US Novice Pairs Bronze Medalist
I don't care if people don't like her or don't trust her, what i don't like is the drummed up meth addict crap spewed out there, or taking her having adverse reactions to meds as something more than simply having adverse reactions to medications. Reading more into things she does than there is. Her being a boxer as anything more than her trying to make a living. That she is a media ho when perhaps, the media seeks out things she does around the time of World's and National's or perhaps these media people specifically seek her out around those times because they think about the lastest 'crap' they can dish about her. She has long been a running joke in the media and many in the population love to dump on her...yet turn around and place the blame back on her being a media ho.
Nicole Bobek is caught up in a drug ring for crystal meth yet Tonya Harding is brought into it. Tonya had absolutely nothing to do with it, yet the media brings her into it. The media has been disgusting to her and yet people still love to feed them and make her the joke du jour.
It's repulsive.
And no I don't overly like her either (or at least what she has done), I appreciated her technical skating and that was it and her 91 lp will be forever etched in my memory but honestly, I feel sorry for her. I feel sorry that she will deal with this shyte for the rest of her life. People judging her mother skills, when they just know what the media brings to them. Not that she provided CPR to a woman and saved her life. How many people know about that? I doubt many do.

You may best recognize Stephen Tobolowsky from his role as Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day, but his considerable body of work spans several mediums. He's appeared as a character actor in hundreds of films and television shows, including the HBO series Deadwood, he hosts The Tobolowsky Files podcast, and he's now written a book called The Dangerous Animals Club.
The stories in his podcast and his new book are about his life, but they aren't Hollywood gossip. They're funny, intimate, and often profound recountings of things from his normal life – like falling in love for the first time, being held at gunpoint at the grocery store, and spending Christmas Eve tripping on acid. He joins us to share some of those stories.

The Grammy-nominated jazz pianist and composer Vijay Iyer began learning classical violin at age three and started improvising on the piano only a few years later. While he studied math and physics at Yale and UC Berkeley, he couldn't stay away from music. He found himself doing academic work by day, and moonlighting as a jazz pianist in Bay Area clubs.
His music is known for its complex, pulsing rhythms and creating unusual covers of artists like Stevie Wonder, Flying Lotus, and Michael Jackson.
He talks to us about exploring rhythm with math (remember Fibonacci's sequence?), the social experience of creating and listening to music, and the idea that "music is action."

Dave Hill is best known as a New York-based comedian, but he's dabbled in a lot of things. He's interviewed fans of Chick-Fil-A for This American Life, lived the life of a frontman for a semi-successful rock band (they were big in Japan), and even had a job as a pedicab driver for a few days.
One of his trademarks is making himself and others uncomfortable during a performance, whether he's asking inane or (alternately) inappropriately suggestive questions in his man-on-the-street interviews, performing stand up or hosting his talk show The Dave Hill Explosion. He mines a number of uncomfortable situations in his recent book of essays, Tasteful Nudes: ...and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation.
He talks to us about how being a rock musician made him realize he loved comedy, and how he ended up performing at Sing Sing for maximum security felons. This interview originally aired July 2, 2012.)

R.A. Dickey is a pitcher for the New York Mets, and the only man in the majors currently throwing a knuckleball. His new memoir, Wherever I Wind Up: My Quest For Truth, Authenticity and the Perfect Knuckleball, is a story of perseverance more than anything. He had a difficult childhood marked by abuse and poverty, but found his gift in baseball. Early on in his career, the Texas Rangers offered Dickey a lucrative contract but retracted it when they discovered a physical abnormality that theoretically should have kept him from playing ball. Dickey then bounced back and forth between the major and minor leagues and says he floundered, personally and professionally. But he stuck with it, and worked on mastering the wildly unpredictable knuckleball pitch (and finally found stability and peace in his relationships with his family and friends). Now, at age 37 Dickey is just hitting the prime of his career while many players of his age have long since retired. If anything, the knuckleball means his best days may still be ahead of him.
R.A. sits down with us to discuss his search for peace from a troubled past, the art of throwing the perfect knuckleball, and exactly why he names his bats after fantasy swords. Wherever I Wind Up is available in bookstores now. This interview originally aired May 22, 2012.

To say Jim Coyle and Mal Sharpe were ahead of their time would be putting it mildly. The duo produced hundreds of man-on-the-street interviews in San Francisco during the mid-1960s, always claiming to be something they weren't, all in the name of comedy. Their efforts would go mostly unappreciated for decades, though the dedication of Mal's daughter Jennifer would ensure their work would eventually find an audience.

Kurt Andersen is the host of Studio 360, co-founder of the satirical Spy Magazine and a novelist. He brought his love of research and cultural criticism to bear when he penned the new novel True Believers, the story of a high profile lawyer who steps away from a nomination to the Supreme Court. True Believers follows her on a quest to piece together a mysterious episode in her childhood during the Cold War and the age of the spy novel.
Andersen fondly recalls his own childhood interests in espionage, and he discusses the leap of faith required for a trained journalist to stop doing research and begin trusting the imagination. The end result is a novel which weaves together generational politics, 1960s counter-culture, and a children's game that becomes all too real.

Glasper's life in music began early, as his mother, a jazz and blues vocalist, would often bring her young son along to clubs with her, where he would watch from backstage. His music today blends classic jazz influences with soul music and modern hip-hop, forging something fresh and new out of a genre he says is in dire need of a shake-up. His new album, Black Radio, includes collaborations with hip-hop artists like Lupe Fiasco, Mos Def, as well as old friend and frequent collaborator Bilal.

In BESTIE x BESTIE she and best friend Liedman take turns trying desperately to remain serious while the other does their best to make them crack. The results are often as funny as anything on the internet. (Originally aired April 10, 2012)

Our comic book experts return with new graphic bounty! Alex Zalben recommends the new series Mind MGMT by Matt Kindt, who spins a tale of a plane crash, memory loss and psychic spies. The second issue in the series is out now. Brian Heater suggests you check out Angelman by Nicholas Mahler, which is a story of a man who has superpowers that might be milder or meeker than those of most heroes -- fighting figurative fire with qualities like being a "good listener".
You can find Alex Zalben writing for MTV Geek or co-hosting NYC's Comic Book Club Live. Brian Heater is a journalist and the Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Crosshatch, which highlights alternative comics.

Elvis Mitchell is a critic who's brought his insights on film to the pages of the New York Times and the L.A. Weekly; he's also interviewed scores of film industry writers, actors and directors over fifteen years of hosting the LA-based public radio show The Treatment. He's even ventured into filmmaking himself, producing a series of documentaries about race and success called The Black List.
But while he's been in the business of film criticism a long time, his manner or tastes can't be called conventional. Mitchell talks about his wide-ranging cultural appetite (which has room for well-executed films like Pootie Tang), the interplay between television and film, and how he got into the business of analyzing pop culture.

The brothers McElroy -- Travis, Griffin and Justin -- are in the business of giving advice, though they don't suggest you take it.

Kevin Barnes founded the experimental pop group of Montreal over fifteen years ago, and the band's sound has morphed as often as (and alongside) Barnes' various stage personae and personal ups and downs. Of Montreal's original twee pop sensibility gave way to new sounds and increasingly complicated arrangements over the years, as the band experimented with electronic, R&B, funk, disco and psychedelic music within a pop framework.
Barnes discusses why he writes so much of the band's music on his own, the theatricality of the band's live performances (from elaborate costumes and skits, to a live horse), and more.
The band's latest release, Paralytic Stalks, is out now.

This week's pop culture picks come to us from The AV Club's Keith Phipps and Tasha Robinson, who share a few of their all-time favorites. Tasha talks up Richard Adams' fantasy novel Watership Down -- a book which, if you weren't already forced to read it in high school, is well worth a look. Keith meanwhile shines a light on perhaps the least renowned of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns, Duck, You Sucker! (also known as A Fistful of Dynamite or Once Upon A Time... The Revolution!), in which the Italian master of the gunslinger casts his gaze on the tale of Zapata.

Scott Aukerman is a writer and the host of Comedy Bang! Bang!, formerly known as Comedy Death-Ray. The show began in 2002 as a comedy pub night in Los Angeles, and is now one of the landmark shows at L.A.'s UCB Theater. In 2009, Scott took many of the show's best regular characters and comics with him into a radio environment, launching Comedy Death-Ray Radio on Indie 103.1, and setting the template for what would become one of the internet's premiere comedy podcasts. Comedy Bang! Bang! is now the flagship show on Aukerman's Earwolf podcast network. This month the show made the leap into another medium entirely: as a darkly satirical late night television talk show.
Scott sat down with us to discuss the move to TV, his early years in Hollywood as a sketch writer on HBO's Mr. Show with Bob & David, and the strange business of getting paid to do work that's never produced. Comedy Bang! Bang! airs Friday nights at 10PM on IFC.

Pencil sharpener David Rees was long trapped in an awful job as a satirical cartoonist until he just couldn't take it anymore. In 2010, Rees decided to get back in touch with on old-school writing instrument and took up artisanal pencil sharpening as a profession. His new book, How To Sharpen Pencils, was released earlier this year, and he's now demonstrated his old-fashioned technique in bookstores across the country. David joins us this week to discuss the lost art of pencil sharpening, and treats us to a chapter reading from his book.

Mark Duplass is an actor, writer, director, musician, and a man who can be described as having many irons in the fire. He's the star of two films currently in theaters, Your Sister's Sister and Safety Not Guaranteed, with a third film, The Do-Deca-Pentathlon, that he wrote and directed alongside his creative partner (and brother) Jay, due later this summer. The Do-Deca-Pentathlon will be the second Duplass Brothers film to hit screens this year, following the brothers' biggest film to date: Jeff, Who Lives At Home, with Jason Segel and Ed Helms. And as if all that weren't enough, you might know Mark best from his starring role as Pete on the FX comedy series The League, which will be back for a fourth season in the fall.
Mark joins us to discuss the way his musical past has influenced his tendencies as a filmmaker, and why he's not worried about taking his projects to total perfection.

This week's pop culture picks come care of Jason Kottke, of Kottke.org. Jason tracks down the best the internet has to offer, but this week he's all about documentaries. First up, it's a pair of short documentaries about Allan Benton and his ham. Allan is the owner of Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Hams, and we travel inside both his office and curing house in the films.
Next, it's the feature-length documentary Senna, profiling the thrilling and ultimately tragic tale of Brazilian Formula One driver Ayrton Senna. Senna is not just for Formula One fans -- it's a gripping profile, and the racing footage is thrilling no matter who you are. It's currently available on Netflix Instant.

Benedict Cumberbatch is a British actor currently bringing Sherlock Holmes to life in PBS's Masterpiece series Sherlock, alongside Martin Freeman of The Office as John Watson. While Cumberbatch and Freeman are the latest in a long line of actors to play these characters, there is something fresh about their adaptation: Sherlock takes place in the present day, updating the classic detective to our modern era. In the past year, Cumberbatch has memorably stolen scenes in period dramas like War Horse and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Benedict tells us about bringing a new take to an iconic character, and what keeps Holmes relevant to both writers and audiences all these years later. He also opens up about how a life-threatening altercation while filming in South Africa in 2004 left him changed as a person. The Series Two finale of Sherlock airs this Sunday, May 20th, on PBS's Masterpiece. Series Two will be available on DVD just two days later, on Tuesday the 22nd.

Morgan Webb is a video game journalist and the co-host of X-Play on the G4 TV network. Webb fell into work in front of the camera entirely by accident via a research position on Tech TV's The Screen Savers, and it wasn't long before she wound up in front of the camera. Tech TV would eventually merge with G4, and X-Play is now the longest-running program on the network.
Morgan talks about what it means to be a gamer, what she loves about the gaming experience, and her struggle for journalistic legitimacy.

Malaysia gears up for first by-election since May polls
Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has urged residents in Kuala Besut to vote for stability, as the country heads into its first by-election since the fiercely fought national polls.
He pointed out that Terengganu could be in limbo if the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) loses its one-seat majority in the state assembly, although the battle is taking place in a seaside constituency deemed as its stronghold.
"I think the people of Kuala Besut understand," said Tan Sri Muhyiddin, who is the BN's election director for the contest.
"They're wise to consider what they should do."

Alderwood Associations v. Washington Environmental Council
Five of the nine justices of the Washington Supreme Court agreed on the ruling, but in his crucial fifth vote Justice Dolliver said that he reached his conclusion based on entirely distinct reasoning from the other four justices with whose decision he concurred.
A 2007 decision of Rob McKenna, the Washington Attorney General, on the subject of whethers circulators can collect signatures on private property when the property owner doesn't want them to, says, "We do know, based on Alderwood, that initiative or referendum supporters must be permitted to circulate petitions at large regional shopping malls, subject to reasonable time, place and manner restrictions."

New AIX Service Strategy Announcement
IBM announced a new AIX Service Strategy. The objective is to increase the length of time you can run on an AIX Maintenance Level.
Currently, there are 2 ML's per year. Going forward, there will be one ML and one functional release per year. (The releases are 6 months apart.) My understanding is that you should strive to be at or near the current ML. The functional releases are "as needed". For more information, see http |

Docking station that I could not live without
Sony MHC-GTZ3i
Member Name: kayleighmcardle
Sony MHC-GTZ3i
Date: 09/10/11
Advantages: docking station that actually has good sound quality
Disadvantages: none
My partner bought me this for Christmas 2010, it cost £250 at the time but can now be purchased for £199,we got ours from Amazon, this may seem a little pricey, but the quality is worth it.
The box is HUGE, there is a lot of packaging so that it is safe in transit, I still have the box now,it is now used to store stuff.
Power Output - Front (RMS 10%THD)
135W x 2
Power Output - Sub woofer (RMS)
Power Output - Music Power
Basically this means that it is LOUD, and crisp, I have never had a sound system that keeps it's quality at loud volumes as well as this does, I love it, there is no fuzziness, but it also makes my windows vibrate, although that may be a good thing to some people, personally I turn off the sub at higher volumes because of this, I use mine nearly every day and the quality is still the same, I would recommend this product to anybody who loves music as much as me because it is the best thing invented since sliced bread.
There are 8 pre-set EQ settings on the system, if you have an iPod connected you can have the iPods EQ applied. which is good if you listen to your iPod regularly, as you can keep the same sound.
The docking station function is a USB port so you have to supply your own wire, which of course you will have any way if you own an iPod OR mp3 player, when your iPod is connected it also charged which is very useful if like me you always lose the plug adapter, you don't have to have music playing when you are using it to charge your iPod.
Another useful thing about the Usb port is that you can connect your laptop, and play you tube so you have any song you want at your fingertips.
It includes 2 USB ports so you can record from one to another I'm not sure how to do this though as I have never tried, so I'm not going to pretend.
I have seen on you tube people have this connected up to there T.V as well to use as a surround sound.
The great thing about this this product is that it is not just a docking station, but is a HI FI which means you can listen to CDs and radio.
the CD function has 3 trays so you can have 3 CDs at a time. Great for parties if don't want to keep changing the CD every 20 mins.
It has a FM/AM radio and comes with the aerial already in place, I don't often use this function, my partner does (for football, which is BORING!!lol) from what bits I listen to it is very clear, and easily tuned.
Tuning range (FM)
87.5 - 108.0 MHz
Tuning range (AM)
There is a remote supplied, useful for obvious reasons, it is very small though, I often lose it (maybe just me, I have the memory of a fish, I put down the remote then forget where I put it)
This HI FI looks good, it looks like a powerful system, it is not huge, but certainly isn't a mini system the sub is quite bulky. The speakers are large (not excessive), but look nice, they have a blue speaker inside, which is what got my attention when I first seen it in the sony shop.
It is very light so is easy to move if needed.
Weight & Dimension
Size (W x H x D)
231 x 340 x 430.5
Weight (kg)
Front Speaker Size
240 x 365 x 210
Front Speaker Weight (kg)
Subwoofer Size
265 x 365 x 325
Subwoofer Weight (kg)
The front looks very stylish, it has a large round knob for volume/sub-woofer strength, the buttons light up, useful for when your in the dark, the display is nice and has a equalizer when the music is played, (I am sure this has other functions apart from looking cool).
Okay so I've waffled on, in short this has great sound quality, great features and is worth the price , so when it comes for you to buy a new sound system get one of these babies, and I grantee you will love it.
I have to add I took the specifications from the sony website,

- In addition to establishing a BlackBerry position, Dan Loeb's Third Point LLC took a 600K-share stake in Baidu (BIDU), a 7.6M-share stake in T-Mobile USA (TMUS) and a 1M-share stake in NXP (NXPI) during Q4. At current levels, the positions are respectively worth $100M, $237M, and $56M. NXPI +1% AH.
- On the other hand, Loeb unloaded the 4.4M-share Tibco (TIBX) position he had at the end of Q3. There were hopes Loeb would use his Tibco stake to push for a spinoff of the company's faster-growing Business Optimization unit. TIBX -1.7% AH.
- Loeb also cut his remaining Yahoo (YHOO) position in half to 8M shares. Third Point once had a 60M-share stake in Yahoo, before striking a deal last August to sell 40M shares back to the company and leave its board.

- Rival QLIK +1.3% AH. The company reports on Feb. 20. Tableau's license numbers stands in stark contrast to the Y/Y license revenue decline rival Tibco (TIBX) reported for its Spotfire analytics platform for the November quarter.

- The Information reports Dan Loeb has been building up his Tibco (TIBX +5.8%) stake, and could make an activist push. Shares of the middleware/analytics software vendor have spiked higher in response.
- Loeb owned 4.425M Tibco shares at the end of Q3, down from 5M at the end of Q2 and good for a 2.7% stake. SA Pro contributor Akram's Razor argued in September Loeb could push for a spinoff/IPO of Tibco's Business Optimization unit, which includes its Spotfire analytics platform.
- After many quarters of strong growth, Spotfire saw a Y/Y license revenue decline in Tibco's November quarter (tough comps were blamed). That contrasts sharply with the 90% Y/Y revenue growth analytics rival Tableau saw in Q3.

- Though Tibco's (TIBX) FQ4 revenue beat consensus by $3M, the company's license revenue (+2% Y/Y to $139.7M) was only in-line with a guidance range of $136M-$144M.
- Tibco's license revenue performance has been closely watched, both due to its role in driving service/maintenance revenue (+10% in FQ4 to $175.7M) down the line, and because growth was negative earlier this year. Tibco blamed sales execution, but analysts raised questions about middleware price competition from IBM/Oracle.
- 193 $100K+ deals and 31 $1M+ deals were closed in FQ4, compared with 195 and 25 a year ago. Opex rose 12% Y/Y, thanks largely to a 16% increase in sales/marketing spend.

- Big data/analytics plays Teradata (TDC -2.7%), Tableau (DATA -0.8%), Splunk (SPLK -2.6%), and Tibco (TIBX -2.7%) are trading lower after Qlik (QLIK -18.4%) and Informatica (INFA -3.8%) posted Q3 results and Q4 guidance yesterday afternoon. While Qlik fell sharply immediately after releasing its numbers, Informatica opened higher before gradually selling off today.
- Much like Tibco earlier in 2013, Qlik is blaming its weaker-than-expected top-line results and guidance on sales execution. The business intelligence/analytics software firm stated on its CC (transcript) its needs to adjust sales processes and "improve operational discipline."
- Some analysts questioned Qlik about the performance of its European ops (responsible for half of revenue). While Americas sales rose 35% Y/Y in Q3, European sales only rose 13% (9% exc. forex). Qlik suggests its problems on the continent are due to both macro and sales execution.
- Informatica's top-line guidance was strong, but its EPS guidance was more subdued due to the impact of major sales/R&D investments. Headcount rose by 98 people Q/Q and 364 Y/Y in Q3 to 3,178.
- Informatica mentioned on its CC (transcript) it booked 23 $1M+ deals and 87 $300K+ deals in Q3, up from 13 and 75 a year ago. Subscription sales rose 48% Y/Y, and now make up 12% of software revenue.

- Qlik (QLIK +4.8%), Teradata (TDC +3.2%), Tableau (DATA +1.1%) and Splunk (SPLK +1.2%) are all moving higher after Tibco (TIBX +3.4%) beat FQ3 estimates on the back of stronger-than-expected license growth and $1M+ deal activity and Susquehanna upgraded both Tibco and data warehousing software vendor Informatica (INFA +3.7%).
- The sell-side is generally pleased with Tibco's report. FBN likes the fact Tibco's BusinessEvents event-processing software (a key part of its business optimization unit, along with the Spotfire analytics platform) saw rebounding demand, and Pac Crest is encouraged by "commentary indicating a potential return to a more robust large-deal environment."
- Jefferies thinks Tibco ""provided some of the more constructive macro / demand commentary in the sector," and can further improve sales productivity." Stifel notes federal and core middleware sales remain soft, but also asserts Tibco's "superior product stack is levered to a number of secular trends (analytics, big data, social, cloud, real-time) that solve real-world problems across verticals."
- Separately, Cantor has started coverage on Splunk with a Buy and $70 PT as part of a broader enterprise IT launch. The firm thinks Splunk's machine data analytics platform "could be a disruptive force across the IT landscape as new users are brought onto the platform and new use cases are uncovered."
- A recent survey of Fortune 1000 execs found 68% stating their firms plan to spend $1M+ on big data projects this year, up from a little over 1/3 a year ago. 19% expect to spend $10M+ this year, and 50% expect to do so by 2016. 70% of investing firms said they're putting money into analytics projects.

We were publicly humiliated by the waitress during lunch. My daughter had spilled rice on the floor, she is one year old.

I ate here in late July while in Fayetteville on business. The service was excellent, owner greeted many guests by name and was quite friendly.

Portion size was very generous.... More

I had heard of this place and have wanted to try it for probably five years. Finally, while visiting in-laws, I got the chance... I'm glad I did.

I have been going to Bombay bistro at least once a month since I moved in to fatteville. The food is always good. The portions are average. The beer selections are great.

What a gem. The goat curries and lamb biriyani were fabulous. Great service. Limited wine card but our Shiraz was a good value at $15. We enjoyed every spicy bite.

Yes, I once again used Ears to You this week! I'm trying to use it as much as possible before Easter! lol! Actually, as I mentioned earlier, this is my Easter card for this year. I need to get them mailed out…last year my Easter cards sat on my desk and never got mailed! lol! The Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper is just so bright and colorful, too! Perfect for Easter cards!
Here are the details:
- The base is a square card, 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 Pink Pirouette, folded in half.
- I added a 4 x 4 piece of the polka dot pattern in Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP on top.
- I cut a Scallops #2 Square of Daffodil Delight and placed on top with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Inside I have a Whisper White square embossed with the Cloudy Day folder, then sponged with a little Bashful Blue ink.
- I cut a scrap piece of Lucky Limeade for the grass and cut blades with my Paper Snips. I stamped Happy Easter from Teeny Tiny Wishes with Black Stazon on top.
- I inked up the bunnies from Ears to You with Daffodil Delight, and Pink Pirouette, then cut them out and placed in the grass with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added Pearls to their tails.
- Finally I tied a bow from Old Olive Striped Ribbon and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot.
Hope you enjoy my Easter card! Make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team over on Create with Connie and Mary for their designs this week using this sketch. Then grab your stamps and play along!
SUOC66 – Ears to You
OK..I must admit, this single stamp, Ears to You, is just the cutest Easter stamp! I love playing with it. My Easter cards (showing up later this week as a Create Challenge!) used TWO of the little bunnies. I used one of the left over third bunnies for this card for the SUO Challenge this week! I didn't want him to be lonely just sitting on my desk! lol!
I also pulled out a folder I haven't used for a while…the Framed Tulip Border one. I thought it fit perfectly with the spring theme of Easter Parade! Here are the details on my card:
- 4 1/4 x 11 Melon Mambo, folded in half to form base card.
- 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White, embossed with the Framed Tulip Border folder.
- 3 1/4 x 3 1/2 piece of Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper (I'm already on my second pack of this paper!), layered on a 3 1/2 x 4 piece of Melon Mambo, punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, then trimmed.
- Wrap around some Old Olive Striped Ribbon and tie a knot along the left side.
- I embossed the Oval Designer Frame on Whisper White, then cut it out and placed on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- The single bunny was stamped with Daffodil Delight and cut out. He is also placed on the front with a Stampin' Dimensional and added a small Pearl for his eye.
- Finally, I stamped Happy Easter Everybunny! from the stamp set, Everybunny, in Basic Gray along the bottom. I love that greeting (and another great Easter set!)
Make sure to check out what the rest of the SUO Challenge Team did this week! Some fabulous Easter ideas!
CAS211 Ears to You
Splitcoaststampers has a fun CAS (Clean & Simple) CAS211 sketch challenge today so I thought I'd play along. I was able to use up some of the "starts" on my desk…you know…those little pieces of projects that you started, but didn't end up making the cut on the card you were making earlier! The little bunny is one of them. My Easter cards (you'll see later this week), used only 2 of the bunnies, so I had a few of these left over. You will see another card using one tomorrow! lol! I also had the two scraps of Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP and the Pink Pirouette already cut to size! Made this card come together REALLY quickly! So…here is the sketch.
And here is my take on it:
And here are the details:
- 4 1/4 x 11 of Pink Pirouette folded in half to make base card.
- 4 x 5 1/4 Very Vanilla layered on top.
- Two pieces of 1 1/8 x 3 1/2 Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper, cut with flag ends and adhered on top.
- 1 1/8 x 4 piece of Pink Pirouette c/s, cut with a flag end, stamped with Everybunny greeting in Basic Gray and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Punched Decorative Label from S&S DSP and placed on top of Pink Pirouette c/s.
- Cut out Pink Pirouette bunny from Ears to You placed with Stampin' Dimensional on top.
- I added two Itty Bitty flowers punched from Daffodil Delight cardstock.
- I placed Pearls in the centers of the flowers and on the bunny's eye!
So…what do you think? CAS? Fits the sketch? I was pretty happy with it and used up some of my "starts", too! Thanks for stopping by!
Ears to You
Over on The Paper Players, they have a fun sketch this week that I wanted to use for one of my Easter cards. I am just LOVING this little single stamp, Ears to You…only available until the end of March! My Easter cards will be done using this set. My Stamp Club made a version of this card for their club card earlier this month! I switched things up so it followed the sketch.
The bright colors on this card gives me hope that spring will eventually get here. Not this week as we are expected to get more ice and snow…boo! I took my colors from the Birds of a Feather Designer Paper…who knew that the eggs would be perfect for Easter. AND…there are some cute chicks on one of the patterns, too!
Here are the details:
- The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Primrose Petals cardstock, folded in half. I embossed the front with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.
- I added a 2 x 5" strip of the egg pattern from Birds of a Feather DSP and then a 1" strip of the yellow polka dot pattern in the same package. Plus, I used the SAB Island Indigo Ribbon as a little extra shimmer!
- I inked up the bunnies in Ears to You in Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo and Primrose Petals with my Stampin' Write Markers and stamped on Whisper White.
- I cut both the Whisper White and Crumb Cake with the Oval Framelits and pierced around the Crumb Cake one.
- I added a pearl to the center bunny's tail!
- Happy Easter was stamped with Island Indigo on Summer Starfruit and punched with the Modern Label Punch, then added across the bottom of the ovals.
Yep…I love it! Such a cheerful card! Perfect for Easter, don't you think?
Remember…I just listed more RETIRED STAMPS AND ACCESSORIES for sale! Check them out HERE!
A Little Bit of Spring
Yes, I'm wishing for "A Little Bit of Spring" so I pulled out this new set in the Spring Mini to get me started! I don't know about you, but even though it is still 10 days until Valentine's Day, I'm a little TIRED of making Valentine cards! Are you? So, since we are supposed to get up to 3" of snow today AND I have a downline meeting to attend tonight….I'm REALLY wishing for "A Little Bit of Spring".
I've also been hoping that Stampin' Up! would come up with a tree that you could hang things from…sort of like Season of Friendship. This tree is LITTLE and the images are little, but I still think it is fun!
Here are the details:
- The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Very Vanilla, folded in half, then embossed on the top half with the Honeycomb folder.
- Pink Pirouette is cut to 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and layered on top with 3 x 3 piece of Tea for Two Designer Paper.
- I wrapped the Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine around twice and tied a bow, then popped up on top of the base card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Bashful Blue is cut to 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 to layer over the DSP. I stamped Easter wishes with Early Espresso Ink.
- The tree is stamped with Early Espresso (and omit stamped with Not Quite Navy on the pot) on a 1 1/2 x 2 piece of Very Vanilla, then colored the leaves with Lucky Limeade Marker.
- I stamped the eggs on scrap Very Vanilla, colored them with Markers, then cut them out and adhered to the tree with Mini Glue Dots.
- I lightly colored in the tree trunk with Early Espresso marker and added grass with the Lucky Limeade Marker along the bottom.
- The tree piece is layered on 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 of Pink Pirouette cardstock and popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Finally, I rounded the bottom edges of the card with the Corner Rounder.
Isn't that a fun little image??? I can't wait to play with this tree some more!

Oh Hello for Easter!
Hmmm, sorry…this is posting later than normal! I had the BEST of intentions of getting up this morning and working up a quick card to post on my blog. BUT…I was tempted by a book I'm reading that only had a few chapters left. I got too tired last night to finish it before I went to bed, so grabbed it this morning and finished! It is the third book in a series of six and I'm already panicking because I'm half way thru them and I love the story line! (And because I know I'll get asked…it is called "A Fatal Series" by Marie Force…a murder mystery/romance theme…lol!)
But…enough of that! Here's my card for today. I did up a similar card for a Set Sampler event that I attended in December. I needed to make up two cards using the Oh Hello stamp set and I wanted to show the stamps in a different way on one card. The oval screamed Easter Egg to me. When I saw the Paper Players sketch (PP130), I thought it would be a good time to use the Easter Egg and Chick!
So…here is this version using the sketch!
The details:
- The base card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 So Saffron, folded in half.
- The layer of Whisper White is 4 x 5 1/4, embossed with the Honeycomb folder
- I added a 2 1/2 x 3 7/8" of Tea for Two Designer Paper, I cut the right edge along the edges of the hexagons…but that didn't effect show up in the finished card.
- Along the left side, I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch with a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock and tucked it under the edge of the DSP.
- I wrapped some Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon around the Whisper White layer and tied a knot.
- I stamped the oval from Oh Hello with Calypso Coral on Whisper White and cut it with a smaller Oval than the image. Then cut it in half like a cracked shell, placing a Mini brad along the edge for a hinge. It is layered it on a larger oval of Calypso Coral cardstock with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Next I used the Bird Punch with So Saffron cardstock and cut the body to place inside the egg. I added a small pearl for the eye and colored the beak with Pumpkin Pie Marker.
- Finally, I stamped Happy Easter from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Calypso Coral ink on 1/2 x 3" So Saffron of cardstock.
Do you like??? I do!

CCMC191 – Everybunny
Oh, we have a fun color challenge for you this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! Wonderful SPRING colors…So Saffron, Wild Wasabi and Island Indigo! We've had such mild weather, it feels like spring around here…another sunny day…very unusual for Ohio in February!
When I first saw this set in the main catalog last summer, it was on my first order…even though I knew I wouldn't use it for MONTHS yet. It is just too cute! I have some wonderful pictures of the boys coloring Easter eggs when they were little…some day I will get them scrapbooked! lol!
For this card, I wanted to try something with the Framelits. Can you tell that is what I used along the bottom of the So Saffron layer? I used the largest one and put the 4" wide So Saffron cardstock in under the cutting blade, and the other end on top of the Framelit. Then I only ran it thru far enough to cut the bottom…not all the way…I just reversed and pulled it back out. That way I got just the cut on one end. Did anyone else think of that? I haven't seen it!
My base is Whisper White. I layered on the So Saffron that was cut with the Label Framelit and embossed with Snow Burst (this is still available to order!). I added a strip of Wild Wasabi Just Add Cake Designer Paper, layered on Island Indigo cardstock and wrapped the Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon around and tied a knot.
I stamped Miss Bunny with Black Stazon, then watercolored with my AquaPainter and Stampin' Write Markers. I did add a little Crumb Cake color for the bunny…she couldn't be yellow or green or blue, now could she? I used one of the smaller Label Framelits to cut her out and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I stamped Happy Easter, Everybunny, in Black Stazon and punched with the Modern Label punch (I love how it coordinates!), then used a little clip to hold it in place at the top of the So Saffron layer!
Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary...as usual, I'm always inspired by their creations!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! Hope you have a beautiful day! So far, no rain…and the spring flowers have their fancy dress on!
This was the Easter card I sent out this year. I have loved A Good Egg for years and every year borrowed my friend's set during the stamping retreat. This year I decided to purchase it for myself. It is just one of the good all-around Easter sets!
I used a base of Regal Rose and layered on Daffodil Delight that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. I used a strip of Nursery Suite Designer Paper along the left side. For my focal element, I went back to the Sale-A-Bration set, Sweet Summer, and used the stem of leaves for the base of my tulip flower. Then I stamped the egg shell from A Good Egg on the Designer Paper and cut it out, popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on top of the leaf stem. Stamped the Chick on Daffodil Delight and cut her out…colored her beak Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the little birdie from Sweet Summer and colored with Early Espresso. I also hand drew some grass along the base of the stem.
I layered the Whisper White panel on Regal Rose and used the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the left side. I stamped Happy Easter from A Good Egg in Early Espresso, punched with the Large Oval and layered on the Scallop Oval punched from Nursery Suite. This was popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and added a butterfly with Rhinestone Jewel body.
I thought it made a FUN Easter card! Enjoy your day. We have about 12 coming over for Easter Dinner…better get back to cooking and setting the table!
CCJC8 – Color Combination Challenge
Today's Saturday Create with Connie and Julie Challenge is a Color Combination! We were to use Orchid Opulence, So Saffron and Certainly Celery in our project! Every week on Create with Connie and Julie, we issue a challenge for our subscribers. Last week's winners were Lisa Martz and Robin Gregor with Honorable Mention to Cynthia Stevenson! Congratulations, ladies!
I pulled out my Shades of Spring Designer paper because I knew it contained that color combination. I love the paper, the designs on it are HUGE however, so I'm always hesitant about cutting it. I must admit, it wasn't so bad! lol! I figure I can always order more!
I started with a base of Certainly Celery, then layered on the bold multi floral pattern from Shades of Spring. I ran the second Certainly Celery pattern of Shades of Spring DSP thru my Big Shot with the Top Note die, then turned it and ran it thru again to make the medallion under the bird! I punched the bird from the new Two-Step Bird punch in So Saffron and sponged the edges. I punched the leaf/vine several times from Certainly Celery, then sponged the edges, and placed them under the bird. I added floral buds by punching the bird's wing several times from Orchid Opulence cardstock.
Between the Certainly Celery and background DSPs, I used a strip of Orchid Opulence cardstock that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. Finally, I stamped Happy Easter from Well Scripted Stamp Set on So Saffron with Orchid Opulence Classic Ink and punched it with the Scallop Oval punch!
Pretty busy….but I like how it turned out!
