Russia completes trials of new surface-to-air missile
Russia to deploy more S-400 air-defense battalions in 2010

- Col. Baranets: Russia has right to use nuclear weapons as it deems necessary
- Russia set to finish development of new air defense system
- Russia deploys S-400 air defense systems in Far East
Russia has completed preliminary testing of a long-term interceptor missile for the advanced S-400 missile-defense system, the chief of the Almaz-Antei design bureau said on Wednesday.
Igor Ashurbeili said the trials had been completed in November and there were no problems with the new missile.
He also said all elements of Russia's unified missile defense system, including the advanced S-500 surface-to-air missile, will be in place by 2015.
It was not entirely clear how the new missile would be different from the one currently used in the S-400 Triumf system.
At present, Russia has two S-400 battalions, and Air Force commander Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin said in late November another five air-defense battalions equipped with S-400 Triumf systems would be deployed next year.
Gen. Nikolai Makarov, the chief of General Staff, said in August Russia had deployed S-400 air-defense systems in the Far East to counter the potential threat posed by North Korea's missile tests.
However, his statement has not been confirmed to date. Some military commentators have suggested the general "jumped the gun" and "was trying to pass off his wishful thinking for reality."
The S-400 Triumf (SA-21 Growler) is designed to intercept and effectively engage airborne targets, including stealth aircraft, cruise and ballistic missiles, at ranges of up to 3,500 kilometers (2,200 miles) and speeds of up to 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) per second.
A standard S-400 battalion comprises at least eight launchers with 32 missiles and a mobile command post, according to various sources. The new state arms procurement program through 2015 stipulates the purchase of enough S-400 air defense systems to arm 18 battalions during this period.

No she wasn't. She seduced the doctor to make him say so. In the scene where Billy talks with the doctor, he tells him that his (the doctor) fly is down. She did this in order to draw publicity and sympathy back to her case. Also she admits it in the conversation with her husband after the trial.
The movie opens with a pair of eyes and the camera going into them. Assuming that's Roxie, it could mean that the ENTIRE movie was part of her imagination. That's hinted when she imagines she's singing "All That Jazz" instead of Velma. The "Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag" number also suggests this, because in the audience we see Billy, who wouldn't care about seeing them perform. However, some musical numbers (like "Mr. Cellophane") can't be imagined by her, because she isn't present in the scene.

text: They actually do have 3" flush valves. 3 1/2", to be exact. And I actually hate Toto, Kohlers are better. Sorry this is such a late reply, but Kohler has better bowl wash sometimes. The Drake doesn't swirl at all, neither does the Class 5 but the Class 6 is much better. I guarantee my Kohler would do better in a bowl wash test than the Drake. Again, it is a Class 6 so the bowl wash is much better.

You forgot one part.
The part where I come in and start fucking that chick. God she's hot. ;)
Nice flash.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars September 26, 2009
Nice job!
But I can't help but feel that it wasn't really YOU'RE flash if you know what I mean. I loved it, and it was hilarious, but all you really did was add a few faces and hilarious screaming sounds. But nevermind. I guess I'm just pissed at the woman in the add. Seriously! What a homo she was! I just wish I could hear what that queer bitch was saying!
So yeah, I thought at first that this would be funny without your extra bits in it, but it would just be annoying so good job!
your flash*

Now i painted my brother here with the lassotool and the gradient-tool with some hints of my older pictures in the background. Also some sort of environment with mushrooms. Atmosphere, its your friend, it will hide your lazy mistakes and get the mind to fill in the blanks with awesomeness.
Shit man your pieces are awesome. A bit more definition in pieces like Robotron, or the first term things in your enviros, and they'll be even more awesome! THe only thing that doesn't seem to fit is the thin tail in the generic beast. it's a bit like ¿? and makes the beast more comical.
Anyway, great work man! Keep it up

About biographical information
Let people know you like this site. Sponsor this page for $45. Your message will replace this ad.
This player has not hit any home runs.
Much of the data on Baseball-Reference.com's Home Run Logs comes from the Tattersall/McConnell Home Run Log, a database of all homers hit in the major leagues since 1876. This project was begun in the 1940's by John C. Tattersall and was continued after Tattersall's death in 1981 by Bob McConnell, one of SABR's original 16 members. David Vincent, another SABR member, has since assumed the leadership of the project. Baseball-Reference.com has licensed this remarkable database from the Society for American Baseball Research. All credit for the data therein goes to the intrepid researchers who digitized this data from archival sources.
For years from 1914 to 2013, RetroSheet play-by-play data has been used whenever the home run occurred in a game for which we have complete play-by-play data.
There are a handful of cases where the home run logs totals do not agree with the totals on our player pages. We are working to reconcile all of those differences, but believe that in all cases the Home Run Encyclopedia is correct.

Peterborough man charged with Durham arsons in February
Potter allegedly started fires to occupied structures at 15 Main St. at 1:06 a.m., 19 Main St. at 2:30 a.m., 20 Main St. at 2:48 a.m. and 4 Smith Park Lane at 3:30 a.m. He also allegedly damaged a 2003 Nissan Maxima and a 1999 Volkswagon Golf, which were both at 4 Smith Park Lane, according to police.
Additionally, police say Potter "purposely deleted six photos from his cellular phone so as to impair their availability in an arson investigation."
Investigators from Durham police were assisted by members of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the N.H. State Fire Marshal's Office, the Strafford County Attorney's Office, the N.H. State Police Crime Lab, the UNH Police Department and the Durham Fire Department.
After Potter's arrest, bail was set at $100,000 cash. Potter, who is being held at Strafford County Jail in Dover, is scheduled to be arraigned in 7th Circuit Court, Dover District Division, Tuesday at 10:45 a.m.

Irish Prescribed Burn Re-authorized
White Pines, CA - Calaveras Ranger District will be conducting a prescribed burn beginning April 30th about one mile north of White Pines. Stanislaus Forest Public Affairs Officer, Jerry Snyder, says, "This is the same prescribed burn we hoped to ignite in January 2012, and last fall. Of course, moving forward with this burn is dependent on weather and air quality."
None of the 465 acres have yet been burned.
When conditions permit, 50-100 acres will be burned at a time, over the next one to two weeks. The daily size of the burn may vary with weather and fuel conditions, as well as permissible air quality burn days. Smoke may be visible from Hwy 4, with some down canyon drift smoke visible in the evening and early morning.
Irish Understory Prescribed Burn is located at Summit Level Road and between Forest Roads 5N56 and 5N52. The Calaveras Ranger District encompasses approximately 250,000 acres in the northwest portion of the Stanislaus National Forest.
A report put out today by the American Lung Association states, "If you live in Tuolumne County, the air you breathe may put your health at risk."
Tuolumne and Calaveras both received a 'F' grade because their Ozone was at a weighted average of 11.2. San Francisco received an 'A' grade for its 0.0, anything over 3.2 lowered the grade, with 35 out of 58 California counties receiving an F. Most coastal counties received an A.
The photos with this story are charts that show the change in High Ozone Days since 1996. According to the study, since 1996, Tuolumne had 37.1 fewer days of poor air quality this year. Calaveras was listed as having 27.8 fewer days.
Also noted in the study was how many Air Quality Index days were Orange (unhealthy for sensitive groups), Red (unhealthy), or Purple (very unhealthy).
Tuolumne County had 29 Orange Days, 3 Red and 3 Purple. There was no 24 hour or annual particle pollution monitoring available in the county.
Calaveras had 26 Orange Days, 5 Red and no Purple days. The 24 hour particle pollution was graded B and the annual particle pollution was given a Pass.
In comparison to other counties, Stanislaus had 50 Orange, 7 Red and 2 Purple days. Mariposa had 50 Orange, 5 red, and 1 purple. Amador had 29 Orange, 6 Red, and no Purple days. San Bernardino had the most Purple days of all California counties with 9, Los Angeles had 6.
The Lung Association identified several groups that are at risk for health related problems due to poor air quality. These include; those over 65, and under 18, as well as those who have Asthma, Emphysema, Chronic Bronchitis, Diabetes or Heart Disease. They also noted that people who work or exercise outside face increased risk from the effects of air pollution.
The Study provided the following recommendations to improve a county's grade; "Drive less. Use less electricity. Support measures in your community that can cut air pollution. Tell your local and state officials to take steps to clean up air pollution. Send a message to your Senators to tell them we need them to support cleaner, healthier air and to oppose measures to block or delay the cleanup of coal-fired power plants."
Sonora, CA - Tuolumne County Health Officer Dr. Todd Stolp made a statement today about a California dairy cow that tested positive for mad cow disease or, more specifically, Atypical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE).
The cow that tested positive was in Hanford, located south of Fresno.
Dr. Stolp says, "BSE is not transmitted by milk, nor was this cow destined for human consumption. Therefore, this detection does not represent a significant public health risk."
BSE is a disease that is fatal to cows and can cause a deadly human brain disease in people who eat tainted meat. Atypical BSE can be caused by a random mutation. The name of the dairy where the cow died hasn't been released, and officials haven't said where the cow was born.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Director and Public Health Officer, Dr. Ron Chapman also issued the statement; "There is no public health threat due to the discovery of BSE in a dairy cow. The food supply in California has not been affected by this discovery, and residents do not need to take any specific precautions. The California Department of Food and Agriculture has many procedures in place to keep this disease from entering the food chain" Dr. Chapman noted that the detection is evidence that the system of safeguards is working.
According to the Associated Press, the infected cow was identified through an Agriculture Department surveillance program that tests about 40,000 cows a year for the fatal brain disease.
There have been three confirmed cases of BSE in cows in the United States - in a Canadian-born cow in 2003 in Washington state, in 2005 in Texas and in 2006 in Alabama.
Sonora, CA -- The Tuolumne Utilities District Board of Directors voted to move forward with plans to build a new water storage tank.
It will be located between Twain Harte and Sugar Pine, and have a storage capacity of 600,000 gallons. T.U.D. currently has two tanks that are out of commission. Last winter a wind storm caused a ponderosa pine tree to fall on a 125,000 gallon tank, causing extensive damage. A second nearby tank in the Lakewood area is in poor condition because of severe corrosion. Both tanks were recently drained.
Eventually two other aging tanks will be phased out and the storage will be made up by the new 600,000 gallon tank. T.U.D. officials have been looking at ways to reduce the number of tanks in the district, and this is being touted as a four for one swap.
T.U.D. Board member Ron Ringen praised the plan at last night's meeting. "This is the future of T.U.D. with this type of consolidation plan," he stated.
The total cost of the project will be over $390,000.
Copperopolis, CA -- There is a traffic accident on O'Byrnes Ferry Road on the Tuolumne County side of the bridge.
The CHP reports that a vehicle has overturned and gone off the roadway. An ambulance was initially dispatched, but was later called off as no injuries were reported. The vehicle is off the roadway, but emergency crews are still on scene. Travel with caution in the area.
Sonora, CA -- Weather permitting, the ground breaking for a new stretch on the Hwy 108 Bypass will take place May 1st. Earlier this month a ceremony was postponed due to bad weather.
The $52.9 million dollar stage II project will extend the Bypass from Peaceful Oak Road to Via Este. $14.53 million dollars of the funding came from Proposition 1B, the transportation bond measure approved by state voters in 2006. Caltrans says the additional roadway will ease congestion and decrease travel times for motorists heading to and from the high country.
Scheduled speakers are Tuolumne County Supervisor John L. Gray, Sonora Mayor Bill Canning and Tuolumne County Transportation Council Executive Director Darin Grossi.
San Andreas, CA -- CAL Fire announces that burn permits will be required starting next week in the state responsibility areas of Tuolumne and Calaveras Counties.
Until CAL Fire stations are fully staffed later in the season, permits will be available only on weekdays, during regular business hours. They can be obtained at the CAL Fire Headquarters in San Andreas, Twain Harte FFS, Station 51 in Mono Village, Blanchard FFS, Groveland CSD, Ebbetts Pass FPD (Arnold) and the Ebbetts Pass FPD Station 3 (Hathaway Pines).
You are only allowed to burn on permissive burn days, and CAL Fire recommends against burning when it is windy. Other rules are listed on the permit. For information on creating defensible space, go to http://www.fire.ca.gov/.
State Employee Salaries Too High?
Sacramento, CA-- Some California lawmakers were hoping that the Governor would be the state's top paid employee.
A bill that would have capped state salaries at $173,987, the Governor's yearly pay, died in committee yesterday. The legislation was introduced by Republican Senator Joel Anderson. He cited that in 2011 over 9,000 state employees were earning more than the Governor. He pointed out that a surgeon with the Department of Corrections makes over $700,000, a staff psychiatrist makes $566,000, and the UC President takes home $560,000.
Proponents argued that higher salaries are needed to recruit quality state officials.
The vote on SB 1368 was 6-7. Committee member Tom Berryhill, who represents Tuolumne County, was one of the votes in favor of the bill.
The "Ribbit" Of Rope, Ride And Ribbit
Excitement is building in the Mother Lode for the upcoming Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee and other large events this May.
Laurie Giannini, Calaveras Fair CEO, was Wednesday's KVML "Newsmaker of the Day."
Rope, Ride & Ribbit is three events within a week. First, the Mother Lode Roundup Parade and Rodeo on the Mother's Day weekend (May 12 & 13th), followed by the Amgen Race on Wednesday May 16 and concluding with the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping From Jubilee from Thursday May 17th - 20th.
Both the Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee takes place each year at "Frogtown", just south of Angels Camp.
The Fair has grown to an event with more than 35,000 attendees. It is estimated that the Calaveras County Fair generates approximately 25.5 million dollars in revenues through hotels, restaurants, retail, payroll and other related revenues.
Each year during the Frog Jump an average of 2,000 frogs will participate. The top 50 frogs qualify for the International Frog Jump Grand Finals, which is held on the final Sunday of the Jubilee at 4:00 pm. The current world's record was set in 1986 by Rosie the Ribeter. Rosie jumped 21' 53/4". The cash prize for breaking the world record is $5000.
The Jumping Frog Jubilee is held the 3rd weekend of every May. The Jubilee starts with a Thursday kiddie parade in downtown Angels Camp at 10am and ends with a Destruction Derby on Sunday evening. The Calaveras County Fair has a unique history and a bright future.
More information can be found at www.frogtown.org
The "Newsmaker of the Day" is heard each weekday morning on AM 1450 KVML at 6:47, 7:47 and 8:47am.

Lover I Don't Have To Love gets avg. rating

based on 4 ratings. Rate the song now!!!
I picked you out
Of a crowd and talked to you
Said I liked your shoes
You said, "Thanks, can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs
And out of view, no prying eyes
I poured some wine
I asked your name, you asked the time
Now it's two o'clock
The club is closed and we are up the block
Your hands are on me
Pressing hard against your jeans
Your tongue in my mouth
Trying to keep the words from coming out
You didn't care to know
Who else may have been you before
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a girl who's too sad to give a ****
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
I thought he said to meet him here
But I'm not sure
I've got the money
If you've got the time
You said, "It feels good"
I said "I'll give it a try"
Then my mind went dark
We both forgot where your car was parked
Let's just take the train
I'll meet up with the band in the morning
Bad actors with bad habits
Some sad singers, they just play tragic
And the phone's ringing
And the van's leaving
Let's just keep touching
Let's just keep, keep singing
I want a lover I don't have to love
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
And where's the kid with the chemicals?
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
I need some meaning I can memorize
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
But you, but you
You write such pretty words
But life's no storybook
Love's an excuse to get hurt
And to hurt
Do you like to hurt?
I do, I do
Then hurt me
Then hurt me
Then hurt me

Jim Dick fibs a little to fit in with his friends. The 71-year-old's leg isn't actually bothering him. In fact, he's perfectly healthy.
But aches and pains are all that people his age seem to talk about.
He laughs when he tells the story, but his health is even more impressive than he lets on. His personal trainer, Skyler Brooke, bragged on his behalf.
"He's not on any medication," Brooke said enthusiastically.
Nine in 10 Americans older than age 60 take at least one prescription drug, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's so common that at a recent checkup, a nurse asked Dick what medication he took that kept his blood pressure so normal.
He said his good genes help, but he is also an avid exerciser.
"I'm trying to keep up with him," said Dick's 67-year-old training partner, Tom Lorsbach.
The two college professors — Lorsbach still teaches, Dick is retired but works part-time on campus — work out together every Friday at the University of Nebraska at Omaha Health, Physical Education and Recreation (HPER) building. The weight room is quiet during the summer — the men were two of fewer than a dozen people exercising on a hot afternoon in June.
They began their workout with a shoulder press for flexibility, the first of a three-exercise circuit. They moved to the ground for planks, looking like twin statues as they held the position. Then squats — the exercise helps them get in and out of furniture. Most of Dick's friends are limited to sofas with higher seats.
For the men's next circuit, they play catch. Jim stands on the rounded half of a BOSU Balance Trainer — one side rests flat on the ground, the other resembles half of an exercise ball — while his trainer tosses him a weighted medicine ball. Sometimes it is to his chest. Other times he has to reach up, down or to the side to receive the pass. It's an exercise in coordination and balance.
When Dick finishes, it's Lorsbach's turn.
They each lift and carry a kettlebell the length of the floor, as if they're holding a briefcase. Then they return to the weight section for rows and a single pull-up.
Lorsbach did two.
The two men try to keep up with each other.
Lorsbach runs 20 miles a week, has finished five marathons and can knock out 25 push-ups during his third set.
He added weight training to his regimen about two months ago. Like Dick, he lifts three times a week: once by himself, once with his workout partner and once one-on-one with his trainer.
"I started weight lifting because I realized running is only part of the exercise routine," he said.
Lorsbach admitted that the machines, dumbbells and benches were intimidating when he started. Now he walks through the gym as though he owns the place.
He feels stronger and sees his progress away from the weight room, too. On a trip to Maine last month, Lorsbach lifted his luggage and placed it in the overhead compartment without issue.
Both men also do cardio exercise separately a few times per week.
Dick, who has been lifting for several years now, also sees a difference. He is down a pant size, can move "better, faster and easier" than most people his age and was one of the fittest guys at his 50th high school reunion.
"I like to think about exercise as something I have control over to fight the aging process," Dick said.
Dick and Lorsbach finished their workout with mountain climbers, lunges and push-ups.
The exercises they do are no different than those done by many of the students on campus. Brooke, the 24-year-old graduate student who trains Dick and Lorsbach, sometimes challenges the two men to a workout competition. He writes down a list of exercises, then the men divide up the reps and make it a goal to complete them by the time Brooke does.
The workouts are friendly, but the friends' competitive streak doesn't hurt.
"You can cheer for each other, root for each other," Lorsbach said. "You can recognize when the other person is setting a new mark."

Teen mothers on three American Indian reservations improved on several measures of parenting after participating in Family Spirit, a home-visiting intervention developed with NIDA support. At 12 months postpartum, the women's children exhibited reduced rates of emotional difficulties predicting later drug abuse and other behavioral problems. Infants at highest risk—those whose mothers had histories of drug abuse—benefited the most.
Researchers have shut down laboratory rats' compulsive cocaine seeking by stimulating an area of the animals' prefrontal cortex. The finding raises the possibility that stimulating neurons in this brain area may weaken or break cocaine's grip on the behavior of people who are addicted to the drug.
NIDA-funded research shows that a specific mutation in the CYFIP2 gene dramatically lowers responses to cocaine in a mouse model.
Smokers who are addicted to cocaine or methamphetamine can quit smoking while being treated for their stimulant addiction, without interfering with stimulant addiction treatment.
Dr. Marilyn Huestis of NIDA's Intramural Research Program talks about conducting research on drug effects with human subjects, developing tests to help law enforcement identify drugged drivers, and an assay to help identify children whose prenatal exposure to anti-HIV drugs may put them at risk for adverse developmental outcomes.
In a surprising finding, male rats who used cocaine sired male offspring who later exhibited blunted responses to the drug. Researchers determined the cause was an epigenetic alteration.
New research demonstrated that, in rhesus monkeys, ongoing cocaine exposure weakens two brain functions that people require for successful behavioral change: cognitive flexibility and memory. But the study determined that these changes may not be permanent.
When the goal is to avoid using alcohol and illicit substances after being released from jail, it's who one's friends are that counts most. Self-control is important because it helps a person have the right kind of friends.

Graduate Writing Exam FAQs
Graduate Writing Exam FAQs
Q: What are the possible scores on the Graduate Writing Exam?
A: There are two possible results of the Graduate Writing Exam: pass or not pass. A passing score is 80 or above. Students who receive a score below 80 are recommended to take an IAP writing workshop.
Q: What if I am unable to take the online Graduate Writing Exam?
A: If you are unable to take the online Graduate Writing Exam over the summer, you must take the pencil-and-paper make-up exam in September.
Q: How do I know if I need to take the Graduate Writing Exam?
A: Your department administrator will notify you if you are required to take the Graduate Writing Exam.
Q: I have other commitments during the week of the graduate writing exam. Will the exam take the entire six days?
A: No. We expect that carefully reading the articles will take about 2-3 hours during the first 3-day period, and that writing the essay will take another 4-7 hours during the second 3-day period. We allow multiple days for the reading and writing because we know that people have other commitments during that time, and to allow time for a complete writing process, including reflection and revision.
Q: How do I get my results?
A: Once the Graduate Writing Exams are scored, the results will be sent to your graduate administrator; he or she will then give you your result.
Q: Can I use a computer at my local library/internet cafe to take the Online Graduate Writing Exam?
A: Yes!
If you do not see your question answered here, please consult your department's administrator, or send your question to email@example.com, and we'll do our best to answer it quickly!

Organization Raises Funds for Tenn. Bat Cave
(CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.) -- The Nature Conservancy in Tennessee is raising money to build a cave to save local bats, The Tennessean reports.
Although they are currently $75,000 short on funding, they have already started to build a cave, according to Cory Holliday, Cave and Karst Program director.
The artificial bat cave is being built 150 feet away from the Bellamy Cave that holds deadly fungus that has been killing bats, who catch White Nose Syndrome from the fungus.

I had a friend that started dating my friend/ secret crush. I was respectful and stayed true to both of them during their relationship. When they had been officially broken up for half a year I figured he was game, especially because she was hung up on my ex fling. That's ok, of course!!! Well I slept with him and now she is furious. She is saying first that I made up my fling with the guy that she was hung up on. Not only that she reveals to me that she was sleeping with them both!! And I'm the slut who should rot in gel?!?! I don't think so!! So apparently I wrecked her whole life because she wanted a guy I had already had a fling with, and I slept with a guy who she was done with. Does anyone else have thoughts on this?? (Aug 13, 2012 | post #1)

With Ivy Bridge due sometime in the coming weeks or months, vendors are preparing a round of obligatory refreshes. Considering its performance-per-watt improvements over Sandy Bridge, it stands to reason that PC makers will trumpet the 22nm architecture with Intel-sanctioned ultrabooks and other mobile machines.
Such is the case with Asus, which has two second-gen Zenbooks in the pipeline. The UX21A and UX31A (successors to last year's decently regarded UX21 and UX31) should be among the finest examples of what Intel wants to achieve with its ultrabook branding by offering premium ultraportables at an affordable price.
Both will reportedly have an optional 1080p IPS screen with a higher brightness (350nit versus 300nit), though it's unclear how much the upgrade will cost. Besides their form factors, the systems are largely identical including Ivy Bridge chips ranging up to the dual-core Core i7-3517U (4MB L3 cache, 3GHz Turbo Boost).
11.6" Zenbook UX21A | 13.3" Zenbook UX31A | |
Display | 1366x768 / 1920x1080 IPS | 1600x900 / 1920x1080 IPS |
Processor | i3-3217U / i5-3317U / i7-3517U | i3-3217U / i5-3317U / i7-3517U |
Graphics | Intel HD Graphics 4000 | Intel HD Graphics 4000 |
Memory | 2GB / 4GB DDR3L 1600MHz | 2GB / 4GB DDR3L 1600MHz |
Storage | Up to 256GB SATA 3.0 SSD | Up to 256GB SATA 3.0 SSD |
Wireless | 802.11n / Bluetooth 4.0 / WiDi | 802.11n / Bluetooth 4.0 / WiDi |
Other I/O | SDXC / 2xUSB 3.0 / Micro HDMI | SDXC / 2xUSB 3.0 / Micro HDMI |
Battery | Up to five hours | Six to seven hours |
Dimensions | 0.66" thick and ~2.42lbs | 0.76" thick and ~2.86lbs |
Base Price | $1,050 | $1,100 |
Although a SATA 3.0 SSD up to 256GB is confirmed, a 512GB option is said to be on the table. The backlit chiclet keyboard supposedly improves the previous design with a "deeper key travel," but we're not sure how that'll affect your experience in a practical sense. Size-wise the systems don't seem to be different from their predecessors. Availability remains unknown, but "soon" after Ivy Bridge's launch seems likely.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Very interested to see how the Intel HD Graphics 4000 performs at 900p/1080p with Ivy pushing the train. I love my little 2430M pushing my GT 550M but I was impressed when shopping and saw the Intel Graphics 3000 performance numbers.
This ain't your onboard 'Rage' anymore!
Now we're talking. 1080p at 11.6" is starting to make me think of notebooks as interesting again.
Hopefully there will be something even better by the time I buy my first laptop or notebook.
It just gets better with time, eh? Acer's ultra slim one at CeBit intrigued me.
About time higher resolution IPS panels came out on laptops. That's one thing Apple can be credited for.
So glad I didn't get the Thinkpad X200 late last year, as ET3D said, the laptop market is getting interesting for me again.
Looks very promising. I can't wait to see what the price point ends up being.
The Macbook AIR does NOT have an IPS monitor! Actually I don't think any of apple's notebooks have IPS displays. Take that credit away from apple.
About time higher resolution IPS panels came out on laptops. That's one thing Apple can be credited for.
Which of Apple's laptop line-up have IPS monitors??
He's referring to the new iPad which is unfortunately true... It has finally influenced laptop makers into going for IPS and it is about time..

I doubt that, you don't simply change your entire manufacturing line up in a knee-jerk reaction to a competitor! The choice of screen would massively affect tooling so this is something that would have to be planned for from the outset, if IPS screens are now becoming more popular that is simply down to them becoming economically feasible for manufacturers. It's also worth noting that Apple don't make the screens, they just create the "pretty" box that houses them!
Does this have UPGRADE-ABLE ram? Or is this also soldered on too. They should make it so you can upgrade if you want to. I want to be able to have the option to upgrade to 8 or 16gb later on. Come on this is some not so hard crap to do. Make a slot to upgrade. BOOM sales goes up like crazy.

TBS Acquires My Name is Earl for Fall 2009; ABC Family Removes Heaven; The N's New Show
What a day for TBS, announcing two acquisitions in one day. TBS has reportedly paid close to $1 million an episode.
Local channels will also get the show for daily play in fall 2009, but no buys as of yet.
To view the press release and to discuss this news, click HERE.
ABC Family will remove 7th Heaven from the line-up effective this weekend. The show was only airing weekend mornings at 7am & 8am. ABC Family will replace the show with the same thing that airs weekdays from 7-9am...an hour each of the sitcoms Family Matters and Step by Step. Heaven probably wasn't doing that well in the mornings.
No idea if 7th Heaven will return to another slot, but so far it is off the schedule completely after this change.
The N has issued an update for July. The 12-3am marathon for the week of July 2 is...Laguna Beach. Yes, the MTV show. It will launch July 2 from 6pm-6am and air in nightly marathons that week from 12-3am. That is not all, though...it will air weeknights at 8pm & 12am that week and until further notice. Weird. Maybe just for the summer. They should air Growing Pains. Anyway, click here for the highlights.

A Black Tuesday for me indeed.
Loaded 3 security updates and--for the very first time--got a BSOD & Stop Error on reboot:
0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF5AF8FEC, 0XF63F6424, 0XF63F6120)
Dell Dimension E520
I also have AV Linux 5 (Debian 4) dual-booting on this machine.
Am posting this from Safe Mode. Could not get into normal Windows. Eventually ran a `Repair Windows' from Dell CD, and it's worse! Same screen after CD finished & reboot. If I attempt normal boot, after a few seconds it spontaneously reboots. Only SM will get me to a normal screen. I now face a full Windows re-install.
In America they have a FreePhone number to call. Not in the UK. Ploughed through the URL given as a link on one of the KB pages & was given a Support Case Number: 1157872147 & phone number. The options on screen that I was told to select did not exist on the phone, but eventually got a "Microsoft Security Essentials" option. Chose that, and it gave me a web URL to use, then cutoff. B*stards.
Thanks, Microsoft.

I'm looking for a cost and delivery for a start and end sting for the following two pilot clips:
Can you tell me how much and how quickly you could develop something for this please?
The first one would be images of football fans cutout over backgrounds animating between 4 different slides (Something like: videohive.net/item/project-mayhem/496331) before ending with a bigger & better boxing glove smashing through a ball. This last scene would be the end slide too.
The 2nd one would be a football pitch with tactical movements and arrows interacting. But this would be something that could easily be adjusted/customized by us each week.
We can supply images, fonts, colours and backgrounds.
Happy to answer any questions you may have.

MantaWeb Sample: Online Personal Information Management
Demonstrates how to use ATL Server to build a personal information management Web site that includes e-mail, scheduling and task lists, and a file store.
The MantaWeb sample includes the following features:
Use of attributed and nonattributed programming for easy comparison
Use of persistent and session cookies
Heavy use of stenciled pages to separate dynamic and static content
Use of ATL Server validation and exchange support
Use of SMTP classes for e-mail support
Mail XML Web service with native client for stand-alone e-mail access
Note |
Because JET components are not supported on the 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, this sample only works with the 32-bit versions. |
Security Note |
This sample code is provided to illustrate a concept and should not be used in applications or Web sites, as it may not illustrate the safest coding practices. Microsoft assumes no liability for incidental or consequential damages should the sample code be used for purposes other than as intended. |
Note On Windows Server 2003, your machine must be configured as an Application Server.
Building and Running the Sample
To build the sample and set up the Web site
Create the following folders on your machine.
C:\MantaWebSample C:\MantaWebSample\Database C:\MantaWebSample\FileStore
Note that if you do not use the suggested paths, you will have to change the hardcoded strings in \Common\MWS_Common.h and \FileStore\FilesHandler.h.
Set permission for the IUSR_machinename user for C:\MantaWebSample\Database and C:\MantaWebSample\FileStore to allow read and write operations.
To do this, right-click the MantaWebSample folder and click Properties. The Properties dialog box appears. Click the Security tab, and then click Add. In the Select Users, Computers, or Groups dialog box, ensure that Object Types includes Users, click Locations and select the local machine, and then enter IUSR_machinename in Enter the object names to select box. Click Check Names. An entry for Internet Guest Account will appear in the Properties dialog box; in the lower pane, select Read and Write. Click OK. This sets the permissions to allow read and write access for the folder and both subfolders.
Copy manta\MantaWeb\MantaWeb.mdb to the C:\MantaWebSample\Database directory. Ensure that the database file is not read-only.
Open the solution file, MantaWeb.sln, in the Visual Studio integrated development environment.
Build the solution. This will also deploy the solution to the local Web server.
Use the Internet Information Services Manager to add login.srf as a default document for the MantaWeb virtual directory. Right-click My Computer. On the shortcut menu, click Manage. In the Computer Management dialog box, open Internet Information Services, then Web Sites, and then Default Web Site.
Use Internet Explorer to view http://localhost/mantaweb/.
If you change the virtual directory that the MantaWeb solution deploys to, you will need to take the following steps to update the MFC mail client:
Open the mailservice.h file in the MailClientMFC project.
On line 75, change the string passed to the TClient base constructor to reflect the changes made to the path on the Web server.
Build the MailClientMFC project.
To use the Web site
Use a Web browser to view http://localhost/mantaweb/login.srf.
Sign up for an account. Provide values for all requested information.
Log in to the site.
Use the site to send mail and manage your personal information.
By default, the MantaWeb sample will not send mail through the localhost SMTP server unless the following preprocessor defines are set: SEND_CONFIRMATION_MAIL, SEND_FORGOTPASS_MAIL, and SEND_OUTGOING_MAIL. You can uncomment the preprocessor #defines in \Common\MWS_Common.h.
This sample was written so that developers can learn about ATL Server without having to have SQL Server installed. It is strongly recommended that you use SQL Server for your Web-based applications because of its enhanced security features. It is also strongly recommended that you use SQL Server stored procedures wherever possible for your database logic.
Project Layout
The project layout of MantaWeb is as follows:
Folder | Description |
Calendar | Nonattributed ATL Server application DLL project that provides a task list and basic calendar and scheduling support. |
Common | Folder holding header files used by all application DLL projects. |
FileStore | Nonattributed ATL Server application DLL project that provides an online file management system. |
Login | Attributed ATL Server application DLL project that provides for user signup and login. |

Nelion Winery
The first bottles of Nelion wine were produced in 1996, and such was the success of this vintage, the family then decided to go into full production, and so they started work on building their own custom designed winery.
Opened in 1998 this fine example of home crafting, boasts great attention to detail, the atmosphere is also extremely welcoming, and these elements have resulted in the creation of a small, but perfectly formed winery
This is a place where small groups of visitors can find out more about the actual process of wine making, they can also view some artefacts, collected from a by gone age, all of which, have been handed down through generations of local wine makers.
Open from 10 am until 7pm in the summer months the place is nearly always busy with Visitors, most of whom, have made the rather pleasant drive up from Paphos, and Limassol to stock up on a few bottles or cases of the Nelion wines.

The Church of the Mother Mary – Chrysopantanassas
In the centre of the village of Palaichori there is the beautiful 16th century church of Chrysopantanassa (the Accession of our lady). Inside there are unique wall paintings from the 2nd half of the 16th century and the church has been restored and composes a characteristic sample of the Cypriot cultural inheritance.
The Church of Metamorphosis of Soteros is found in the summit of the slopes, and it is a jewel of cultural inheritance and belongs in the catalogue of the International Cultural Inheritance of UNESCO.
Another church is that of St. George, and also there is another one 1.5 kms from the village dedicated to St. Anargyri.- Historical Travel

Trooditissa Monastery
This Monastery is situated on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains, and it is an Orthodox Monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
It was found in 990, but the current building dates back to 1731. The icon of the monastery of Virgin Mary is believed to be painted by Apostle Luke.
Famous for its woodcarvings and many icons, this monastery is built in an altitude of 1.500 metres and it is very close to Platres.
I visited it in November whith some friends when I was spending a couple of days in the beautiful village of Kalopanagiotis.
Note: I just saw a photo I had taken from a sign on the door post saying that they cannot accept tourists....but it is still interesting to see it from a distance. It is in lush vegetation and very beautiful.- Museum Visits

Machairas Monastery
A historic monastery dedicated to the Virgin Mary and is located about 40 kms from Nicosia.
The interior of the church is decorated with religious icons, chandeliers, stone floors and wall frescoes.
Currently there are 20 to 30 orthodox monks here.
I have visited it recently but after many years there were so many changes in the buildings and the surround area that I could not tell where I was. It is beautiful anyhow, and worth visiting while up on the mountains.- Religious Travel

Foini Village
In the heart of the Troodos mountains this little village is nested amidst green and fragrant pine trees.
It is a very picturesque village renowned for its pottery, the manufacture of traditional furniture - the Cypriot chairs of those days, and for the local "loukoumi" a product like the turkish delight.
I had the chance to visit Mr.Theofanis Pilavakis who has his private folklore museum with local pottery and traditional agricultural tools and kitchen utensils.
In Mr. Pilavakis home garden I have seen the 2nd oldest plane tree on the island, and his garden has a number of huge vessels.
His house is also kind of a museum itself, besides the small private museum in the centre of the village, and I noticed that he sells different things as well. ( We bought an iron made bed from his collection that day).

Kalopanayiotis village
Known for its sulphur springs....yet nothing much is made out there.
However it is a very beautiful resort and I had visited it many times. The last time I was out there was in November.
It was fall and the scenery was magic.
It is a village worth visiting not only for its beauty, but there are some archeological churches in the area listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I can never forget the colours of the leaves on the trees but also on the ground.

Palaichori Village
In Greek the word -palaio- means old, so palaiochori means a very old village. It is one of the most picturesque villages in the mountains in the region of Pitsilia worth visiting.
It is mentioned in the 13th century documents and it is believed to be given to the Knightss Templars by the King of Cyprus Henry II.
Some of the surnames of the inhabitants have Latin roots even up to this day.
There is the very old church of the 16th century of Panagia Chrysopanthnassa with marvelous wall paintings....but we did not have time to visit as we had to call a lady to open the church for us.
If you want to see the museum or the church ask at one of the coffee bars in the central square and they will arrange to call her. She will come and open the museum and church for you.
I wanted so much to visit this village because I wanted to see the Liberation Struggle Museum which was once a hide-out for 1955-59 EOKA fighters. I met the two heroes Mr. Andreas and Mrs. Maritsa Karaoli who had given refuge to these heroes those years. Part of their house is a Museum today. (The hideout of Gregoris Afxentiou).
Get to the top of the hill where the Monument of the Cypriot Mother is and which overlooks the region below. The views are panoramic from out there.
The local products of this village is the excellent smoked ham and spicy sausages in case you wish to buy.- Historical Travel

Come to the village of Kyperounta and see the church of Timios Stavros and the Eclesiastical Museum.
The church of the (Holy Cross) as it is written in the English books, houses the eccelesiastical museum which contains icons and religious objects belonging to the village churches.
Outside there is a nice small garden that surrounds the church full of plants and herbs.
When we came here the church was closed but we asked for the man in charge who came and opened the church for us. (Give him a call if you plan to go).- Arts and Culture

Agros Village
It is in the heart of Pitsilia region with cool springs and a nice dry climate.
A summer resort for many Cypriots who want to avoid the heat of the big cities.
The village is known for some local products which are the Cypriot sausages, lountza, and hiromeri - smoked ham.
There is the rose factory here that I visited where one can buy aromatic rosewater and many other products sold directly from the factory.
There is the church of Panagia Eleousa, a Byzantine style church of the 19th century that you can visit if you wish.- Hiking and Walking

- Family Travel
The very small village of Potamitissa although it has no architecture style, and with very few inhabitants has become one of my favourite.
I have visited it twice in less than two months and I find peace and quiet out there.
It is the beautiful suround area and the lush vegetation, the view I have of the village probably from the hotel where I usually stay that makes it so beautiful. (Ambelikos hotel).
I can take both long and short walks. My long walk is towards the village of Pelendri and back.
I was there 2 weeks ago (March) and the trees were in full blossom and the whole atmosphere was magic. I could hear the gurlging of the water below and the singig of birds while walking.
If you want to relax and find some peace and quite, or if you want to do short trips to the nearby villages of Pitsilia or the Troodos resort, come here.

Platres Resort
The bigest and most beautiful resort with many walking paths around.
A paradise for those who want to walk and have an excursion.
It is extremely beautiful and what you hear while walking in the village is the gurgling of water and the singing of birds.
There is a bus from Limassol with just one euro that can take you up here and another euro to return. (See my tips)
Also a very nice tavern in the central of the village. I was there the previous week.
It is called "The village Restaurant".- Hiking and Walking

Kykkos Monastery
The bigges and best know plus richest monastery in Cyprus!
It is dedicated to Virgin Mary and in the Monastery. The first President of Cyprus, Archibishop Makarios III served as a novice at this Monastery when young and his wish was to be burried at Throni.
"Throni" is a scenic location 3 kms west of the Monastery. There is a road that leads out there and it is really beautiful.
Don't be scared when you see the real huge statue made of bronze of Makarios when you get off the car! It is real huge and personally I am not very fond of it.

Definitely visit Omodos - a cosy mountain village
If you are driving to the Troodos mountain area, I definitely recommend you to visit a small cosy, very attractive village called Omodos. It is only appr. 22 kms away from Troodos, the highest area of whole Cyprus. The athmosphere in Omodos is very calm; almost lazy. It is a very attractive silent little village.
There is one square in the village and perhaps one or two "main streets" only. Yet you will find a place to buy refreshments or to have a lunch; or to buy some souvenirs. On the main square and street the local people sell handicraft and hand made clothes hanging outside.
This little place is well worth stopping and at least drinking something, eating an ice-cream, buying souvenirs and taking some beautiful pictures.- Road Trip
- Family Travel
Driving around the mountain area and cosy villages
Troodos is the biggest mountain area of Cyprus, and it is located in the center of the island. Troodos' highest peak is Mount Olympus; it is 1,952 meters high. Up there you'll find snow even late in spring, perhaps even at summertime in some places.
A nice change to your beach or city holiday is to take a rental car and drive up to the mountains; cool down in the fresh mountain air. You can just wonder the beautiful nature around you or visit some of the churches or monasteries located in the area. Some of them are even listed in the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Please note that the roads are very narrow in some places and caution is needed. I personally wouldn't drive there after daylight time as there often are no fences by the narrow mountain roads. Also in some places parts of the road might be totally missing or at least in bad condition.- Skiing and Boarding

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's fan page was hacked Tuesday -- a high-profile breach on a site that constantly faces scrutiny about its handling of its members private data.
The message that appeared on Zuckerberg's page under his name read: "Let the hacking begin: If facebook needs money, instead of going to the banks, why doesn't Facebook let its users invest in Facebook in a social way? Why not transform Facebook into a 'social business' the way Nobel Price winner Muhammad Yunus described it? http://bit.ly/fs6rT3 What do you think? #hackercup2011"
The message received a flurry of more than 1,800 "likes" before it was removed from the page. Facebook's representatives have not returned calls seeking comment.
Zuckerberg wasn't the only famous figure to have his Facebook page hacked this week. A hacker posted a message on French President Nicolas Sarkozy's wall on Sunday that stated the president would not run for re-election.
Sarkozy responded with a post saying no "qu'aucun système n'est infaillible" -- which translates to 'no system is infallible.'
While Facebook staying silent on the hack, the company posted a blog entry Wednesday morning titled: "A Continued Commitment to Security." It draws attention to Data Privacy Data, which takes place this Friday. The day is an international effort by governments and businesses to draw attention to personal-data protection issues.
"A key part of controlling information has always been protecting it from security threats like viruses, malware and hackers. That's why we've developed a number of complex systems that operate behind the scenes to keep you secure on Facebook," the post read.
The unsettling breaches raise questions about the company's security.
"Mark Zuckerberg might be wanting to take a close look at his privacy and security settings after this embarrassing breach," Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, wrote on the security protection site.
"It's not clear if he was careless with his password, was phished, or sat down in a Starbucks and got sidejacked while using an unencrypted wireless network," Cluley said. "However it happened, it's left egg on his face just when Facebook wants to reassure users that it takes security and privacy seriously."
Hemanshu Nigam Founder of security consulting company SSP Blue says the breach was probably due to phishing rather than a complicated hack.
"Hacking is when you're actually breaking the code -- you have to hack into Facebook's system," he said.
"You don't need to engage in that sort of technical attack. It's easier to exploit in through phishing," he said "It's also easy as a user of Facebook to be on guard and not click on a link you don't think your friend would send."

Now if only the search engine quality and spam teams had such nice prompt customer service for inaccurate rankings...
Personally I'd be happy if Google In Your Language answered e-mail with something other than an automated response directing you to a forum whose last visible post dates from 2008. (This is really true. And I don't mean December 2008, either.)
Hypothesis: They've only got one really good response team, which is assigned to whichever project currently has top priority. So I guess that's the Knowledge Graph.

Advantages: ..
Disadvantages: .
I bought this after reading another Jane Green book, as I liked her style and now I have read quite a few of her books. After reading the description of this online I thought that this would be a book that I would enjoy and yes it isn't the best book that I have ever read or that, but it is good and kept me turning the pages.
The book is about a woman called Cath. Cath works at a top London advertising agency. Cath wants to leave the career that she has worked at for the last good few years and open up her very own Bookshop. Cath's friend Lucy also wants a change in scenery and Lucy wants to open up her own Cafe. The 2 woman decide to take both their dreams and turn it into 1 place, so they open up Bookends - a Book cafe. Sounds interesting. So come in, enjoy a Coffee and and read a bit.
Cath and Lucy's husband John met each other at Uni, and have still kept in touch (but obviously Lucy and Cath work together in their book cafe.
I like the story as it doesn't focus on the normal early 20's woman as the characters are in their 30's. IT tells a story of people who are doing alright, but who are longing for a change and although often some people don't have the guts for a change these 2 ladies take the big step in order to change their lives. But do things go to plan? Well no in a way. Someone tyrbs up out of the blue that cath and John knew from Uni and this person caused trouble back when they were in Uni. Will time have changed this person or will they be as much trouble as they were before? Unfortunately you will just have to read and find out.
I found this book a little slow to start and I wondered if this would be any good, but about 50 or so pages in then I got a bit more into it and I enjoyed the read.
A good read and if you are a fan of Jane green's work then you should like this. Not a new story concept or anything but still a good book and the type of book that I like to read.

DownloadThe Consequences of Cash
In many places the persistence of cash is symptomatic of a large informal economy. Such economies can only run on cash, and this preference for cash feeds, and is in turn fed by, bad behavior such as corruption and bribery. This bad behavior can be a substantial drag on the overall economy, suggesting that governments benefit by moving their...
