The Electoral Amendment Bill is a "flawed document" which parliament should not pass until proper consultations have been made, poll observer groups have said.
The Bill controversially sailed through the Senate on Thursday, despite protestations from opposition MDC-T lawmakers who had staged a walk-out the day before.
MDC-T Senator Morgan Komichi later said the walk-out was a reaction to the "speed with which the ZANU PF administration was bulldozing the Bill through the House without taking their proposals on board.
On Friday, two civil society groups described the Electoral Bill as unconstitutional and urged parliamentarians to block it until the public have been consulted.
The Zimbabwe Election Support Network (ZESN) said it was concerned that "this important piece of legislation that will inform future elections" had been "hurried" through Senate without involving interested Zimbabweans.
"Adequate consultations with the public and other stakeholders are vital to ensure comprehensive alignment of the Bill with the new Constitution," ZESN said in a statement.
The Election Resource Centre also noted several "deficiencies" in the Bill, which would "render it unable to positively influence a change in the architecture of electoral management in Zimbabwe".
The two civic groups note that the Electoral Bill is vague on what constitutes voter education, and the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission (ZEC) remains answerable to the justice ministry, in violation of the constitution.
Another concern is that the Bill denies the right to vote to Diaspora-based Zimbabweans, or those in hospital or prison.
In its post-poll review conference held last month, ZEC also proposed changes to the conduct of elections in the country but these, too have been left out of the Bill.
The head of Election Resource Centre, Tawanda Chimhini, said they have launched a "Why Rush – Give Us Time" petition to try and put pressure on the justice ministry to reconsider.
"The Electoral Bill does not address the numerous challenges which were noted by various observer missions during the 2013 elections and acknowledged by ZEC.
"The Bill is weak and has unacceptable errors that betray little seriousness on the part of the drafters," Chimhini said.
"In its current form the Bill will not take Zimbabwe forward in terms of electoral reforms and if it is passed we intend to challenge its constitutionality in court."
Chimhini said to avoid passing into law such "flawed documents" the public should be allowed to participate and have a say in any Bill that is brought before parliament, in accordance with the constitution.
"The problem with this Bill, as with all our electoral laws, is that it weakens rather than strengthens systems and as long as these are allowed to exist, we won't have credible or acceptable elections in this country," Chimhini added.
He said they hoped that MPs from both sides of the political divide will show the same unity and energy in rejecting the Bill just as they have done on corruption.
The Electoral Bill is one of several other pieces of legislation that have to be aligned with the country's new constitution which was adopted last year.
Hopes were high that the new charter, campaigned for by the three political parties in the unity government which ended last year, would usher in a new era of constitutionality in Zimbabwe.
The constitution limits the president's stay in power. The charter also provides for security sector and media reforms and creates institutions that (in theory) are supposed to promote democracy, peace, transparency and accountability.
But there is no specified timeframe within which old laws should be aligned with the constitution, a loophole that ZANU PF is taking advantage of.
Without the called-for changes and reforms, there is real fear that ZANU PF will continue using these institutions to rig and manipulate the electoral process, just as it did in 2013.
Further reading
Well, it is just a waste of our time to debate about a bill that has aready sailed through the Senate of this country. The majority in senate approved the bill. As far as we are concerned that is what is fundamentally important. If the bill is signed into law by the Head of State and government, that will be it. Ok madofo?
Mugabe rigged the 2013 elections and of course both parliament and senate are there to rubber stamp the tyrant's wishes!
Everything that is penned down be within a context. It should not be a mumbo jumbo but relevant to the subject under review. As far as I am concerned, the 2013 elections are now water under the bridge. The winners and losers are known world over and some of us have since forgotten that we once had elections last year. And the Zimbabwean people are getting on with their own lives without having sleepless nights over who won and lost the elections.
Right now the subject for discussion is about the bill that has sailed through Senate and will in all likelihood be signed into law by the Head of State and government, Robert Mugabe. That is the subject for debate we should focus our attention right now. Ok dununu?
So, would you be saying the same thing if the MDC was in the Senate majority and created a Bill that you didn't like and meant ZANU-PF would never get into power again….
That is the real topic of debate
I am not going to speculate what I would have said in this matter. I would have liked to cross the bridge when I got there and not to dwell on hypothesis. Only prophets Makandiwa and Engels can prophesy and give an accurate response to your query. Lord Jesus Christ has not given me the power to prophesy like these prophets mate.
They did a good job on you. Even with something that a challenged person can tell, Chimbwido Warvet does not hear or see anything wrong with Zanu PF or Robert Mugabe It is typically of the praise singers.
Now that Nikuv is one up on you, for it has seven rigs of fake ballot papers for the 2018 elections sitting out there at the port of Durban. One wonders why one has to go to such length on elections one swears can easily win? What is the purpose, staying in power and puts one's praise singers and stooges in the House of Assembly and the Senate?.Whatever happened to the notion of putting the interests of one's country first?
With the Electoral Bill being emasculated and the laws of the country not having been yet aligned to the to new Constitution, Zimbabwe, has been coup de tared, therefore, who needs Rita Makarau and her Electoral Commission? Elections are going be run from the Zanu Headquarters, hence, Nikuv's new Offices in KG VI Barracks and the fake, ballot papers in Durban coming into the country.
When was the strategy made, Chimbwido Warvet?
Cowards live in fear of imagined enemies. Nobody my constituency is thinking about the 2018 elections but are in the process of nation building after the disastrous electoral loss by the MDC-T. We do not have the luxury of talking over elections that are still four years away instead of debating on how we should feed the nation. That should be the subject for serious debate and not about NIKIV, and other nonsense you have alluded to.

After Rome we headed up to Switzerland on another impulse. Switzerland is absolutely incredible. Maggie and I lovingly nicknamed it the happiest place on earth, and it really is. We stayed in the capital, Bern, for 3 nights. I think most of the Christmas villages in movies must be based off of Bern, it's so charming. Every night and 8:30 Maggie and I watched the light show on the parliament building. It was incredible. Everyone who hasn't seen it should YouTube it, and every government that doesn't have a light show on one of their buildings is doing something wrong. Anyway, there was a big Christmas fair in town so we spent one of our days checking that out. We also climbed up a little mountain in one of the parks in Bern. Everyone we encountered in Switzerland was amazing, the nicest people out of any of the countries we have been to. Swiss-German is pretty confusing, the Austrians and Germans we met can't understand it any more than we can. Our second night in Bern we had a pretty frightening situation. I came into our room late at night and the lights were off and there was new person in our room. Maggie told me to quickly close the door and come to bed without turning on any lights. She then told me that the other person in our room is being hunted down by hired hitmen and has been moving countries every few days. I think this is the only point on my entire trip where I felt like I was in danger. The woman left the following morning, we're not sure what happened. Anyway, the following day we went to Grindelwald to go into the alps. We went up to Kleine Scheidigg which is 7,000ft up. We spent a while wandering around in the alps, it's so beautiful up there. The only two things we didn't like about Switzerland were 1. Along with being the happiest place on earth it is also the most expensive place on earth and 2. The food was expensive and not great. While the food wasn't terrific the chocolate certainly was! I think Switzerland is my favorite country of the 15 we have traveled through.. I definitely plan to come back one day!
Rome, Italy.
After Florence we went to Rome for four days. While we were in Rome we met up with my cousin Erin again and my Uncle Pat and Aunt Ellen. It was really nice to see family in a foreign place. When in Rome (hehe) we went to St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and walked through the Vatican museum to go to the Sistine chapel. It's unfortunate but after going to so many ornate palaces and chapels they all end up blurring together. We went to the Pantheon, the Spanish steps, the trevi fountain, the Roman forum.. Most of the tourist places. We also went inside the Colosseum which was amazing. On our second to last day we went to the catacombs where half a million people were buried including a few popes, saints and martyrs. Maggie and I knew the general direction of the catacombs but weren't 100% sure how to get there. We hopped on a bus going in what we hoped was the right direction and expertly chose a person to follow. We decided to choose a guy around our age with a backpack and a Rick Steve's guide to Rome book. We figured that even if this boy wasn't going to the catacombs he atleast knew where he was going, which is more than we could say about ourselves. Luckily the stop he got off on was close to the catacombs, so we ended up going together. Our guide was possibly the least enthused person in the universe but we enjoyed the exploring the catacombs nonetheless. On our last night in Rome we went to see an opera called la Trevietta.
On our way to the train we stopped at Cafe Greco, a cafe that opened in 1760. Here we had amazing cannoli and cappuccino. Mmmm cannoli.
Florence, Italy
After Venice we took a short train ride to Florence where we stayed for 4 days. We met up with 2 girls we met caving in Budapest and a guy we met in Scotland, which was really nice. We climbed to the top of piazza de Michel Angelo and got a great view of the city at sunset. We also went to the Duomo and piazza de la Signoria. One night we received free tickets to see Arturo Brachetti a famous french illusionist. He is famous for running a one man show during which he changes outfits every few minutes. We explored the San Lorenzo market and headed into the Academia to see the David, the rape of the Sabine women and other pieces of art. While we were looking at the David we also ran into our Japanese friend from our train from Budapest! We were going to head to cinque terre on one of our days in Florence but a recent storm had destroyed two of the five towns and the trains weren't running as frequently.
Venice, Italy
After leaving Budapest we took our third (and hopefully final) night train to Venice. We shared a cabin with a boy from Japan who was our age but didn't speak english and we don't speak Japanese.. So we spent the entire night teaching our languages to each other. We were woken up 4 times for customs because we had to travel through Slovenia and Croatia. The customs officers brought in drug sniffing inus (aka dogs in Japanese.. One of the words he taught us) and were pretty intimidating looking. I thought sleeper trains would be more conducive to sleeping, but I was definitely wrong about that. We arrived in Venice, where we spent $10 more per night to stay in a hotel over a hostel and it was entirely worth it. After sleeping in rooms with 30 strangers and sharing bathrooms with 60 more, having a private room was fantastic. Maggie and I were so excited when we saw they had hand soap AND towels. Our lives have become pretty pathetic. Anyway, our hotel was in St. Marks square so it was right in the center of everything. The day we arrived there was a marathon happening throughout the city. It was a scavenger hunt marathon so there were places people needed to run to and no one knew where they were going. This made walking down the narrow venetian streets pretty hazardous because there were frantic marathon runners popping out at every turn. We went to the Dodges Palace which in our minds trumped Versailles. It is a pretty amazing palace, it is incredibly ornate and detailed. The Dodges palace leads you over the bridge of sighs, which prisoners used to walk over, take one last look at the beauty of Venice and sigh knowing they would never see it again. Once outside of the Doges palace we decided to find some chips and to feed to the pigeons in St. Marks. Maggie threw the chips all over me so I was bombarded with birds. I'm pretty sure if anyone did this in Bryant Park in New York they would look completely insane. The next day we went to the Peggy Guggenheim museum and took a few hours to explore her collection of art. For dinner that night we had stuffed cod, bellinis which are peach juice and champagne and spritz which are prosecco and campari. Spritz are a little too bitter for me but fresh bellinis are delicious. The rest of our time in Venice was spent wandering around the city, it's a very unique and beautiful place.

Mic Baffles – by Jeff Towne
It's a charming image of DIY ingenuity: a reporter, without access to a proper sound booth, sitting in bed, a blanket over the head forming a tent to block the reverberations of the room. A microphone is in one hand, a flashlight pointed at a script in the other. Variations on this scenario abound – crouching in a closet amongst hanging clothes, spreading carpeting or a heavy towel across a desk, the mythical egg cartons stapled to the wall (which doesn't really do much, by the way…)
It's a fact of the independent producer's life: professional vocal booths are expensive and take up a lot of space. But recording yourself in an untreated room often results in tracks that sound echoey, distant and unbalanced. Some acoustical mediation is often needed, but there has to be a better way than huddling under blankets.
In the last few years, a few companies have released curved or V-shaped baffles that wrap around behind a microphone, absorbing reflections and blocking sounds from the rear and sides. It's important to note that despite some marketing hype, these are not replacements for real sound booths; a small barrier with some absorptive material can never give the same kind of isolation that sealed rooms with heavy walls and double-windows will. But these simple baffles can improve the quality of your recordings if you're faced with an echoey room, or some kinds of background noise. These devices are more comfortable to use than a blanket over the head, and will generally sound better too, but don't expect too much: if your recording space has a lot of background noise, these devices will not eliminate that. But they can reduce the liveness of many spaces and block some ambient sound, resulting in more professional-sounding recordings.
The company sE Electronics released the first one like this, and their Reflexion Filter Pro does a good job, but it's large, heavy, and cumbersome. That is not a problem for a semi-permanent installation, but it's a little clunky to set-up and take down frequently. And it's not cheap: the "Pro" model sells for almost $300. They've since released a lighter and more affordable model for project studios, the PSRF, that sells for $170. It doesn't provide quite as good a barrier as the Pro model, but still can be effective.
Not surprisingly, some other companies have made similar products. A few variations from the company called Primacoustic are especially intriguing. Their $99 VoxGuard provides a curved foam-lined baffle, built on a lightweight ABS backing, making it easier to mount on conventional mic stands than heavier versions.
At the AES, they showed a prototype of a new product, tentatively called the Podcaster, which is made up of larger flat panels which fold flat, then open out into a three-sided barrier, making for easy set-up on a desktop or tabletop. Their representatives on the show floor predicted that it would sell for about $150.
The big brother of that tri-fold screen is the cabinet-like Flexibooth. It looks a little more like a storage solution from IKEA than an acoustical product, but this sturdy box is lined with professional-level absorptive fiberglass panels. When the doors are opened, it forms a small sonic sanctuary – it's quite remarkable how effective those materials are – the hubbub of the loud exhibit floor was dramatically reduced when I stuck my head between the splayed doors. The $400 Flexibooth is a more serious investment in more ways than one; it would be best permanently mounted to a wall, and takes up more space than the other solutions discussed here. That higher price pays off with greater noise mediation, but with the trade-off of bulk and expense.
There are a few other companies offering similar products: curved or folded panels with foam on them. It wouldn't be too hard to build something, if you have some acoustical foam lying around, or can purchase a piece or two. But remember, these devices will reduce reflections, and block some extraneous noise, but they can't magically erase the traffic outside your window or the barking of your neighbor's dog. These baffles can make you sound less like you're recording in a tile bathroom, but true soundproofing requires heavy walls, tight seams and vibration isolation. If a full isolation booth is not practical, try one of these. At least your hair will be less charged with static electricity from pulling that blanket over your head.

D. Brent Miller says:
Or … you could build one for about $40. I bought a folding storage box (12X15X13)from Ikea for less than $10 and then enough foam acoustic material to line the inside. A microphone sits very nicely in the opening. The mic is protected on all sides except the front where you are speaking. It works pretty good and for about $40, it's a very portable sound booth. I picked up this idea from voice-over artist Harlan Hogan.
R. VanZandt says:
I'm surprised you did not mention the Porta Booth [http://bit.ly/fn99dU] or the Porta Booth Pro [http://bit.ly/ejZn0d], both from Voiceover Essentials. Both are within the $100 to $400 price range. I own and have used the Porta Booth on assignment (once in the back of a moving vehicle) and the sound isolation is more than respectable, and does not color or affect the microphone sound.
Ryan Darton says:
All those Porta Booth Pro audio samples sound boxy! It may be cutting outside noise, but it definitely sounds like it's coloring the microphone sound.

Common (clearly wrong) generalizations that float around:
1. Any 13 year old who can draw decently is an art prodigy, or at least "very good for their age".
2. Talented 13 year old artists deserve a lot more attention than others simply because they're young and talented.
Ones about young'ens on the internet in general (that are also clearly wrong):
1. They always cause all of the trouble.
2. They're always immature and obnoxious.

I'm not hearing many complaints about rain spoiling holiday plans this Memorial Day weekend.
That's likely just a reflection of people realizing how much the region needs rain. This map from the U.S. Drought Monitor is dated May 20:
The second graphic shows projected rainfall amounts over the next five days. Read that to mean about 2 inches for Wichita, with more expected close to the Oklahoma border.

This is a collection of things we like.
It all started with a client asking us to do two ads, to be shot in Nigeria. "How exciting!" we thought. "How exotic!" However, filming in a country like Nigeria, who's vast natural beauty is matched only by it's vast lack of filming infrastructure, is an experience unlike most. Exciting and exotic? Definitely. But it's also massive, busy and at times, terrifying. What follows is an honest account of the experience by our DOP - Cobus Oosthuizen.
"Unlike Grant (de Sousa, director), who straight away fell into a pit of nervousness, I had been to Nigeria earlier in the year for another job. A trip during which I not only fell seriously ill after eating a dodgy meat(?)ball, but during which also almost got shot down by the military whilst filming out of a bulky flying machine. For these reasons, you could say I 'sort of' knew what to expect. From having to go through the various injections, to purchasing a 3 week food supply (I had learnt from my mistakes) and making sure we had made our amends with the ones we love, myself and Grant were off.
With one large bag and two heavy pelican cases full of gear, we arrived in Lagos. We went through the regular airport custom of handing away American dollars to whoever stopped and asked us questions. We were also met by a "liaison" officer. He was supposed to ease the move through the airport, but unfortunately did little to help when I arrived at the Customs counter. I was dragged aside and asked for some dollars to "ease the process". Having only the princely sum of 100ZAR on me, I was held at a desk with two sweaty military men for a good hour. After they realized that I simply didn't have any other cash, they let me go with a slap on the hand. For what, I am still unsure. An hour later, we arrived at "DE-Vine Hotel. Nothing really "divine" about it but we all discovered it was, by Nigerian standards, OK.
The next morning we were met by our driver SK, who had been working for our client for the last 12 years and had promoted himself from driver to PA overnight (He promoted himself about four more times during our first week there). We met with the agency, which always takes a full day of traveling and getting pains in the lower cheeks from sitting in a car.
We shot the first spot in Lagos, which involved fighting through the crazy traffic, tropical rainstorms, street boys who needed their cut and being dropped by location after location, not to mention that we had almost zero lighting. It was a heavy exercise in problem-solving every step of the way but we maintained and putted along. The first commercial was completed and we moved on to the second one.
This meant it was time for the road trip leg of the journey. Or as we like to refer to it, the 'Wild West' in northern Nigeria. We packed our kit, all pumped and full of biltong and nuts - the staple diet for everyone other than Grant. We negotiated the traffic in Lagos once more, giving ourselves 4 hours to get to the domestic airport, which by normal standards should be a 35 minute drive. But hey - this is Africa! (Right?)
Eventually, we boarded an flight. It only took an hour, but it was the best 45 minutes I have ever spent in our planet's stratosphere. To say we were flying high is an understatement. After spending the better part of an hour staring at the curvature of the earth and wondering how much oxygen we had left, our 747 then came down at the same angle at which it took off - vertically. Surviving that flight was a miracle - plain and simple. And our kit came out with great speed and all in one piece - another miracle.
Safely back on terra firma, three transport vans were tightly packed with all our gear and off we went to Victoria Bridge, our first location. We acquired our military escort and shot what we needed on a bridge. We finished up and were informed that we need to head to Obudu. This seemed fine, as we were told that this was about a five hour drive further east into the jungle. Plus, we had Grant to keep us entertained with his suction speaker and music collection. However, about eight hours later we were in pitch black darkness, batteries for music flat and on some of the craziest roads we have ever driven on in a taxi bus, driving at ridiculous speeds past trucks and accident after accident. We pulled over to get fuel and were told that we had about another three hours to go. "Lets push through" was spoken, but after an hour of some more crazy roads, more dead guys and military roadblocks, the client called it and sent us back to the town we stopped at for for fuel. They found a hotel, we pulled in downed a few Stars (local beer), and tried to sleep in rooms that were, let's say, less comfortable than we had hoped for.
We slept. We woke. We got the fuck out.
The rest of the journey to Obudu took about another six hours. By now we were all a bit tired. Also, we had started feeding the driver because if we were drained, the man with our lives in his hands must have been way worse off. We finally arrived in Obudu.
Sans a lighting department (a story for another day), we shot the beautiful mountain pass and in a nearby village, got what we needed and went straight to bed, weary but grateful that worst seemed to be behind us.
The next morning we were all up and ready to go at 4am to get back to the airport, where we would travel up to Abuja. My mind is a bit of a blur now about that because of lack of sleep, but the 15 hour trip went reasonably well (bar some excessive traffic weaving and our military men pulling out sirens, guns and whips to get people to move out the way for us). We made our flight and off we were once again.
Arriving in Abuja, we ran into a South African crew, who after exchanging pleasantries warned us about a bombing in the city. Thankfully, we were heading further north. This was met with mixed emotions and non-encouraging words from them. That was the first time we really got a bit worried about the BOKO HARAM. But we pushed on. Also, we were presented with some cooked goat wrapped in newspaper as a birthday gift for Grant, which seemed like a good omen. Charming.
The next morning we were on our way to a 'goat' location, for a shot we needed with some of these (alive) delightful animals. We arrived at a rubbish dump where said goats were being kept. Our producer said "We have a bit of a situation. What do we think of this location?". We laughed jokingly at him, only to realize that he was serious. Needless to say, we ended up paying our own good dollars for the goats and took them to another location. We filmed the shit out of those goats. packed up and did the three hour drive back for the 'Shebeen' scene, AKA a viewing centre in Nigeria. We made sure the goats were alive when we left, too.
The following morning, we got up, ate a breakfast and got ready for a 45min drive to our northern Village location, for a magical 'fishing festival' shot. The drive took about 4hours but we got there. Interestingly, the villagers had never seen white folk and we were cautiously ogled as we went about our business. Needless to say, these people did not speak any English whatsoever, which made for an interesting day. We worked out our shots around the fact that we still had zero lighting equipment by this stage and even made a little make-shift green screen out of cloth from a villager vendor. We then shot the 'river scene', which I can only describe as manic, with villagers bouncing around in water and with the client screaming at the top of his lungs jumping up and down. I imagine it's kind of like being on acid in a shitty club with people trying to do speed breakdancing. But we got the shots we needed, packed up, said farewell to our new friends and started the long journey back home.
Back in Lagos, we had 20 of the best tasting beers of our short lives. The next day, we were put in cars and driven to Lagos International. There, we handed over our passports and like fish moving upstream, made it to the check-in counter. With tickets in hand, we headed for passport control, had our stuff stamped and went straight to the boarding gate.
Boko Haram had spared us and we went home.

Google Raises Alarm On ITU Internet Treaty Discussions
Tech giant worried governments will ruin the Internet
Google has voiced concern over a closed-door meeting that will re-negotiate a communications treaty that determines how the Internet works.
Talks will be held by the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in early December, during its World Conference on International Telecommunications in Dubai, to agree a new information and communications treaty. It has said it wants to ensure "the free flow of information" across the world so the Internet and the economies around it can innovate and grow.
The original International Telecommunication Regulations agreement was signed in 1988 and needed updating, the ITU said.
"There is broad consensus that the text now needs to be updated to reflect the dramatically different information and communication technology (ICT) landscape of the 21st century," the ITU said.
Google worried over ITU meet
But Google and others are concerned that only governments are allowed to voice their opinions during the ITU discussion, whereas users and the engineers who make the Internet work are not involved at all.
That's despite the ITU saying 1800 representatives would be gathering during the December meeting, including members of private industry, R&D institutions, academia and the public. It appears Google has not been invited to the discussions.
Google is also worried that governments with a history of Internet censorship will have too much of a say. It noted that 42 countries filter and censor content and in the last two years governments have enacted 19 new laws "threatening online free expression".
"Some proposals could permit governments to censor legitimate speech — or even allow them to cut off Internet access," Google said, on its Take Action page.
"Other proposals would require services like YouTube, Facebook, and Skype to pay new tolls in order to reach people across borders. This could limit access to information – particularly in emerging markets.
"The ITU is the wrong place to make decisions about the future of the Internet. Only governments have a voice at the ITU.
"This includes governments that do not support a free and open Internet. Engineers, companies, and people that build and use the web have no vote.
"The ITU is also secretive. The treaty conference and proposals are confidential."

0Anonymous , January 20, 2011 9:44 AMIs the problem a lack of strength? Or is it a heavy level of apathy? You can build the same machine in desktop form for significantly less.
1kkiddu , January 20, 2011 10:08 AMAlthough it's totally not fair to compare it with a desktop PC, but I've been confused on what to go for as I'm going to college next year, one option being the bare $1500 version of the G73, and the other being a netbook + a desktop. The problem with the desktop is that I'll have to haul it back home every vacation.
But seeing that performance for $3000 is just 'good', I'm gonna stick with a $1400 desktop. I think I can get a 50% performance increase with half the price.

17" 1920x1080
Dual GTX 470M
i7-950 3.06GHz
12GB DDR3 (triple channel, so you get 4GB less memory, but 50% more bandwidth)
2x750GB 7200RPM + 120GB Intel SSD
6x Bluray reader/DVD writer
Intel Ultimate-N 6300 wireless
3 year extended warranty
All for $3,643.
So, better CPU, better GPU (nevermind there's two of them), 3x the HDD storage and a 50% larger SSD, better warranty, and all for $40 more.
Screw you Zotac and Asus. ^_^
0chickenhoagie , January 20, 2011 11:31 AMI'm pretty sure they had an Asus laptop on newegg just like this one, but maybe a bit lesser of an i7 and with a radeon 5870, minus the SSD, but was still only $1,500..
0irishmettle , January 20, 2011 12:26 PMI agree with Travis and I like the Clevo systems better. I actually bought one from Xotic about 3 years ago and it is a solid laptop and it still gets the job done. The only complaint I have is my 8800m GTX in it died after about 1.5 years of heavy gaming, but I blame NVIDIA for that one.
If you are looking for an enthusiast laptop I definitely recommend checking these guys out and do your price comparisons. One nice bonus is you get a bloat free OS from them.
My two cents.
1bildo123 , January 20, 2011 12:28 PMBeh, it's just OK when considering the asking price. I was expecting a little more action in the video graphics area TBH.

Free agency is close at hand, and you tend to think crazy things. The Dallas Mavericks probably think the same way.
A big-name free agent picks your team, immediately you start to ponder the insane possibilities.
For the Mavs, the summer of 2014 is an important time for the franchise. The Mavs are one of the teams that will get a visit from Carmelo Anthony when the calendar turns to July 1 next week.
The Mavs have been longing for a big-time free agent to come to Dallas, and chances of that happening increased on Wednesday when Tyson Chandler was re-acquired from the New York Knicks in a six-player trade.
Chandler was a key reason why Dallas won the championship in 2011 and now that he's back after a three-year vacation in New York, he'll fit perfectly alongside Dirk Nowitzki to create one of the league's most intimidating frontcourts.
That's where Carmelo comes in.
Dallas will surely pitch that aspect to Carmelo, as well as the winning culture that Dallas brings. Even Chandler said himself on Thursday during a conference call with members of the Dallas media, that Dallas isn't a hard place to sell.
But it's not just 2014 the Mavs have in mind. They also want to pitch Carmelo on the possibility that they can secure another big-time free agent in the summer of 2015.
Think about it: The Mavs can contend with Carmelo this upcoming season, and then could become perennial favorites in 2015.
After breaking down the numbers and thinking a little outside the box, it's not only more than possible, but it can be done.
Keep in mind that this could also work for LeBron James if he's just as interested in coming to Dallas as Carmelo is. LeBron would probably like the idea of playing with Dirk and Chandler in that frontcourt, but I'm still led to believe it'll be more realistic for the Mavs to secure Carmelo more than LeBron.
So, for those who fancy salary cap talk, you came to the right place. We're going to break down the Mavs' 2014 salary cap situation with Carmelo on the roster, as well as 2015. I should make clear that none of this is Dallas' actual plan. These are numbers and notes that I created that work best for the Mavs to stay under the salary cap and remain in contention for years to come.
I feel like Donnie Nelson and Mark Cuban should give me a job after this is done, but I digress.
Without further ado, let's get to it.
First, some notes to consider while reading.
Carmelo can command a max contract, if he so chooses. He's eligible for a max deal of four years, $96 million. If he re-signs with New York, he'll get an extra year, plus a little more than $30 million extra. All signs point to Carmelo leaving New York, so expect the other three franchises he's listed to be in play. But regardless of what team he decides to go to (Dallas, Houston or Chicago), he may have to take less than the max to make any of the situations work.
So, in order for the Mavs to be real players in 2014, as well as 2015, Carmelo wouldn't get max dollar from Dallas, but he'd be close to it. For this instance, and this project, we'll give Carmelo the same contract as Dwight Howard: four years, $88 million. If it wanted to, Dallas could up the amount to around $90 million
In order for this to really work, the Mavs would have to get creative with the money. The salary cap is at $63.2 million this summer, so the Mavs have some financial flexibility in their favor, but they still need to make some moves.
Breakdown of the Mavs' current salary heading into 2014.
ShamSports.com is very reliable when it comes to NBA salaries. We'll be using the salary information on their website.
Right now, as of June 28, this is how Dallas' salary looks:
- Chandler – $14,596,888
- Monta Ellis – $8.36 million
- Brandan Wright – $5 million
- Raymond Felton – $3,793,693
- Jae Crowder – $915,243
- Gal Mekel – $816,482
- Ricky Ledo – $816,482
Total for that comes to $34,298,788, meaning the Mavs would have just less than $20 million to work with.
Let the fun begin.
How can this work?
First things first: As much as it pains to say it, the Mavs will need to move Brandan Wright and his $5 million. That would put Dallas' salary at $29,298,788 with six players on the roster. If the Mavs could get cash considerations for the deal, more power to them, but at this rate, just get a second-round pick or something.
Now, here's the key in all of this. If this doesn't happen, although it more than likely would if Carmelo does choose Dallas, it could be very tough for the Mavs to stay under the salary cap.
Dirk would need to take a bigger pay cut than he's already been asked to do.
The number thrown around the most has been $10 million, which is about the same as what Tim Duncan makes. In order for the Mavs to have enough financial flexibility to get more pieces, Dirk may need to be asked to take about $3 million less. So you're looking at about $7 million per year for Dirk, which probably wouldn't be the end of the world for him.
If that happens, the Mavs move up to a shade more than $36 million in salary with seven spots filled, and $26 million to work with.
As mentioned before, Dallas would still be in prime position to give Carmelo a max contract. But if the Mavs were to do that, even if they did get creative with the numbers, it would be more difficult to bring in other free agents. Dallas can go over the cap if it chooses, but the key is to stay under.
Let's say Carmelo goes to Dallas on that four-year, $88 million deal that resembles Dwight Howard's. Carmelo's first-year salary would be a shade more than $20.5 million, so the Mavs' salary would then be at approximately $56,798,788 with four roster spots left to fill.
Now to re-sign Devin Harris, Vince Carter, Shawn Marion and DeJuan Blair.
Dallas has its guy, now with just less than $7 million to work with and four roster spots to fill. It's time to get some key players resigned.
Harris wants about $3 million per year in his next deal, but he may be asked to take a million or two less. Marion and Carter would be more than willing to take a huge pay cut, and Blair would be happy for even a little more money than last year.
Here's what it would look like.
- Carmelo – Appx. $20.5 million
- Chandler – $14,596,888
- Monta – $8.36 million
- Dirk – Appx. $7 million
- Felton – $3,793,693
- Harris – Appx. $2 million
- Carter – Appx. $1.5 million
- Marion – Appx. $1.5 million
- Blair – Appx. $1 million
- Crowder – $915,243
- Ledo – $816,482
- Mekel – $816,482
The total for that? $62,798,788; about $500,000 less than the salary cap heading into the 2014 season. Also to note, the deals for Harris, Carter, Blair and Marion would each be multi-year deals.
First Reactions?
- That's one hell of a team. A starting five of Harris, Ellis, Melo, Dirk and Chandler with that bench would be stellar.
- A bit undersized after Dirk and Chandler. Marion and Blair would be asked to do a lot in the frontcourt, but they're capable.
- Possibly more time for Jae Crowder and Ricky Ledo, and that's either good or bad.
But that's why Carmelo comes to Dallas; it's not all just about 2014. Here comes 2015, and the Mavs could be in position to get more frontcourt help, with more salary cap.
We enter the summer of LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Love.
What about 2015? That's possible, too.
A few things to keep in mind heading into 2015.
- Chandler's contract comes off the books.
- Monta and Felton both have player options they can exercise.
- Ricky Ledo enters non-guaranteed money territory, so his contract can come off the books.
- Jae Crowder also has a qualifying offer of $1.18 million.
- Salary cap increases to $66.5 million for 2015-16 season.
It wouldn't be surprising at all if Ellis declined his player option and signed back with the Mavs at a cheaper rate. Felton? It depends how he plays this season, but for this experiment, we'll say Felton declines his option.
If the Mavs are serious on bringing in Love or Aldridge, Chandler would need to take on a smaller contract. Yes, the Mavs will resign Chandler this time because it's the right thing to do. We'll say, for a backup center, $5 million a year will do just fine.
As for Monta, he comes back to Dallas on a three-year deal worth approximately $5 million per year.
So the salary heading into the summer of 2015 looks like this.
- Carmelo – $21.5 million
- Dirk – $7 million
- Chandler – $5 million
- Monta – $5 million
- Harris – Appx. $2.5 million
- Carter – Appx. $1.5 million
- Marion – Appx. $1.5 million
- Blair – Appx. $1 million
- Mekel – $947,276
This looks a lot better in 2015. The total salary for nine players would be $45,947,276, and Dallas would have about $20.5 million in cap space to work with.
The key for this free agency period is to get either Love or Aldridge, who will both command max contracts. But just as the case was with Carmelo, neither of those guys would get a max contract. After crunching some numbers, the best deal for Dallas and either player would be a four-year, $80-million deal.
That also means that Dallas has the leverage to divide the money in any which way it wants, and the best way to do that would be $17 million in the first year of the deal.
Which means, the salary would look like this.
- Carmelo – $21.5 million
- Aldridge/Love – $17 million
- Dirk – $7 million
- Chandler – $5 million
- Monta – $5 million
- Harris – Appx. $2.5 million
- Carter – Appx. $1.5 million
- Marion – Appx. $1.5 million
- Blair – Appx. $1 million
- Mekel – $947,276
That gives the Mavs 10 spots, a salary of approximately $62,947,276 and about $3.5 million left in salary to work with. Dallas could extend the qualifying offer to Crowder and keep him on, as well as keep Ledo on the roster, which would cost $947,276. That would leave Dallas with just over $1 million left in salary, and could possibly get one more cheap free agent.
First reactions?
- Post problems solved. Chandler becomes the backup center for either Love or Aldridge.
- But if Dallas doesn't believe in Mekel, who plays the backup point guard role? Someone to use that final $1 million on?
- But do you keep Crowder just in case Marion has lost a step? And get rid of Ledo?
But how about another idea?
The new Big Three in Dallas.
While going through the free agent list for the summer of 2015, two names came to mind that would make the Mavs the title favorite.
These two would have to take a pay cut, as well, to make it work. But the thought of adding both of these guys on for $10 million per year would give the Mavs a roster that would rival any other team in the league.
How about this starting five?
- PG – Rajon Rondo
- SG – Monta Ellis
- SF – Carmelo Anthony
- PF – Dirk Nowitzki
- C – DeAndre Jordan
With a bench centered around Tyson Chandler, Devin Harris, Shawn Marion, Vince Carter, Jae Crowder and DeJuan Blair? And the Mavs would even have just over $1 million left in cap space to get one more player.
That's the biggest pipe dream ever.
But the possibilities are there, as you can see. This plan of gathering cap space by Mark Cuban and Donnie Nelson has led to these next two years of endless possibilities. I won't even get into 2016, because that would be pressing my luck. It already seems like a long shot to make any of this happen.
And if it doesn't, I've just wasted about 2,000 words of my time. But one can think.
The many years of hoping to reel in the big fish look more promising than ever. Dallas has always looked to the future. It doesn't hurt to start here.
First thing's first: Carmelo needs to come to Dallas to make this a reality.

A 40-year-old Jacksonville man was found guilty Wednesday of kidnapping and sexual battery.
In October 2009, Rodney Maxwell grabbed the female victim from behind as she was walking home. The defendant then dragged the victim into a nearby park where he strangled and forced her to have sex.
Maxwell has a previous armed sexual battery conviction and was sentenced to 40 years in prison for that crime. He was released from prison after serving 19 years of the sentence, which was two months before committing this crime.
He now faces mandatory life in prison as a habitual violent felony offender and a prison release re-offender. He will be sentenced July 7.

In addition to Fantasia, the Gospel Celebration will feature gospel music singers Donnie McClurkin, Pastor Marvin Winans, Bishop Paul S. Morton of New Orleans, and several local acts. The event will be hosted by ABC's "The View" member Sherri Shepherd and Gospel phenom Kirk Franklin.
Since launching in 1999 during Super Bowl XXXIII in Miami, the gospel celebration has donated more than 4,000 tickets and a portion of its proceeds to local and national charities. This year's beneficiaries include the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation and The Sharper Kids Foundation. The former was founded by New Orleans Saints player Malcolm Jenkins while the latter was founded by Darren Sharper - a former Saints player and brother to former Seattle Seahawks player Jamie Sharper.
As far as Fantasia, she recently announced the title of her upcoming fourth studio album, The Side Effects of You, which is led by the first single "Lose To Win."

didn't want to flip flop and be everywhere because a lot of times, with

have an album that has one sound and everybody is on the same page,"

Kim Beazley Says There Will Never Be Another Gough Whitlam
21/10/2014 , 3:33 PM by Nadia Mitsopoulos | Comments (0)
It's a sad day for Kim Beazley.
The former federal Labor leader has been reflecting on the life of his good friend and mentor Gough Whitlam, who died this morning aged 98.
'It's a sad day. Gough deserved his century and it's a great shame he didn't make it," Mr Beazley told Geoff Hutchison on WA Mornings.
He said he first met Gough Whitlam as a child during an annual trip to Canberra with his father who was the federal Education Minister at the time.
He remembers Mr Whitlam saying kind things to him while he sat in the public gallery of Parliament House.
When Kim Beazley took over the Labor leadership Gough Whitlam often counselled him.
"He always had a lot of advice and 90% of it was welcome," Mr Beazley said.
Mr Beazley said there is 'not a chance' that Australia will see another politician like Gough Whitlam.
Mr Beazley spoke to Geoff from Washington where he is now based, as the Australian Ambassador to the United States.

FRIDAY, Jan. 31, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Hetlioz (tasimelteon) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat a sleep condition caused by a completely blind person's inability to regulate the body clock by recognizing light from dark.
The condition is called non-24-hour sleep wake disorder. Affected people may have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and may become groggy, the agency said Friday in announcing the approval.
Up to 100,000 people in the United States have the disorder, the FDA said in a news release.
The safety and effectiveness of the new drug were evaluated in a clinical study of 104 completely blind people. Reported side effects included headache, elevated liver enzymes, unusual dreams and infections of the upper respiratory or urinary tract.
The drug is produced by Vanda Pharmaceuticals, based in Washington, D.C.

Refresh your home with green, the most spirited and eco-chic color of the color wheel. These green designer rooms show you how.
Photo from thomgirl on Rate My Space
(photo by Tim Lee)
The ceiling, covered in a golden-hued metal leaf, makes the glaze on the walls look even richer, and lends the room a sophisticated, urbane look.
"This room is the perfect place for relaxing and entertaining," Canet says. "It is ideal for cocktails, after-dinner brandies, conversations or catching up on some quiet reading."
Get The Look
Just about any green can look sophisticated, Canet says. "It is all about how these colors are presented, and in what doses they are applied. While pink and green is very traditional, there is nothing clichéd whatsoever about bright pink and chartreuse! Even the most predictable and favorite combinations can be made to look fresh and new when applied correctly and with confidence."
"I love green," Angus says. "I had this wallpaper custom designed and handpainted in China. I asked for peony bushes and chose the flower colors, as well as the background green."
The wall-to-wall wool carpet is also a deep, soft green – Stark Carpet Corp.'s Teide (color #7068). An Italian chair and Portuguese Rococo table add additional curves and a rich sense of history – beautifully highlighted by the contrast of the bright, modern graphic of Andy Warhol's "Flowers" silkscreen, created in 1970.
Get The Look
To provide storage – and contrast – Angus had bright pink boxes made to order and stacked them on a table. "I thought it would be fresh and punchy," she says. For a subtler use of green, she says, "lots of greens together can look very beautiful. And green with pale blue or pale violet is heavenly." While Angus adores green in almost any setting, she cautions against using it in a master bathroom. "You would put on way too much rosy makeup to compensate for the green cast of the walls, and could end up looking like a fool in the daylight!" she says.
(photo by Wendell Webber)
The blue-tinged green walls are the color of milk glass. "It's sort of soft but cheerful at the same time," Loecke says. He continued the color from the foyer up the front stairway to the second-floor hall, using the green as a backdrop for antique prints with alternating yellow and blue mats.
"This stairway wall is the first thing you see when you walk into the house, so it really had to be interesting," he says. "By alternating the mats, I added to the visual impact of the arrangement."
Get The Look
If you want to accent a secondary color like green with its two component primary shades, Loecke says, make sure you stick to the same color values as he did with these blue and yellow mats — pale with pale, clear with clear. "A navy blue wouldn't work with this green," he says. "It would be too dark. And a muddy yellow, which might work with a khaki green, would not be right here, either. With this bright, light green, you need a yellow that is bright and light, as well."
Loecke follows the same-value rule to create rooms in green and orange, and green and pink – "even green with lavender can work really well," he says. "Because green is a color you find in nature, it actually works well with just about any color, making it a nice alternative to gray or brown."
(photo by Wendell Webber)
"The table, from Ikea, is a piece you don't expect to see in pink," he says, "and while I used pink as an accent throughout the room, I stayed away from a more even pink-and-green balance that might have looked preppier. I also avoided straight stripes, plaids and ginghams, and instead used a painterly, squiggled stripe on the headboard and large, modern leaf patterns throughout the room."
Get The Look
The patterns lend this space a youthful but not childish feeling, as does Loecke's restraint with the green paint. "I used this grass green only on the wall behind the bed," he says, "The other three walls are white. That way, you have the grassy green color but it doesn't overwhelm the room."

Realtek HD Audio Drivers - Constantly detecting/undetecting front jack
Hello all,
I rercently came with the following problem without any reason:
I have a realtek audio chipset with my mother board.
Since some time, the HD audio drivers keeps on detecting/undetecting a device plugged in my front jack (resulting is sound cutoff, which is more than annoying). But, there is nothing plugged.
If I plug something then, the detection works right.
I'm wondering if it is a software problem, or if there is something wrong with my motherboard or my front jack connector (some kind of shortcut or whatever).
If someone as a solution I would really appreciate.
Thanks a lot in advance !
I cannot uncheck the "reload" option in the realtek driver because I need to have this detection working right.

Sounds like a loose or defective jack. No software will "fix" broken hardware. When nothing is in the jack, it's grounded and the chipset ignores or turns off the jack. When you plug something into it, the open ground signals the chipset to detect a device and notify Windows of it's presents. Windows (driver) will then allow you task the jack as necessary.
You don't give any info on your system but some manufactures have spare parts available. Most front panel assemblies are replaceable. Also make sure the front panel connections aren't loose at the motherboard. Be sure to completely power-down the PC and un-plug the power cord before checking wires inside.

Thanks for your reply.
So I did several checks:
I don't know which kind of diagnostic I can made from these tests (maybe a bad cable)...
FYI, I have a Fractal Design Define R3 - Black Pearl and a Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3 for the Motherboard.

It could be a bad cable connector or loose pin on the motherboard. Check the wires carefully too.

So, the pins seems to be OK. They are not moving.
It's hard to say if the cable is right. At first sight, all the wires seems to be connected to the connector (they are not loose).
Besides, I've noticed that if I plug the AC97 part of the cable instead of the HD Audio one, the problem is gone.
I hope it's a cable problem and not a motherboard one. Am I right?

It sounds like a cable or cable connector problem.

I will try to see if I can get a cable replacement from Fractal Design.

Win 7 home premium 64 bit
Simple solution
Open Real Teck manager
click speakers
Right click green button (that is my connection yours may be different)
Choose "connector retasking"
at the bottom of the page you will see "enable auto popup dialog"
Disable it and you are set to go.
The newer version of Realtek manager is different.
But is basically the same. Look for - "enable auto popup dialog" and disable it!!
those popups bug me
