In a decision probably somewhat related to the short-circuit recall of many of the TZ units, Sony is no longer selling this computer on its Web site. The last price that it sold it for is $2,999, and if you can find one on a third-party retailer's site, it will likely go for just slightly under that price. As mentioned above, Sony is ready with a new design, the TT, which Tom's Guide will receive and review shortly.
It is a bit of a moot point to discuss the appropriateness of Sony's pricing on the TZ, but we can summarize by saying simply that it was very over-priced. While this machine beat out even the Lenovo U110 in its overall benchmarking scores, has an enormous hard drive and a solid state drive, built-in broadband EVDO, and impeccable taste, it still shouldn't cost $1,000 more than any other computer in this round up: it should have been about $2,300 at most. Factor in the slim possibility of an over-heating injury, and this machine is not worth purchasing today. We've reviewed it simply so that we can now compare it to the forthcoming TT, and to show you how Sony compared to the rest of the ultraportable market during most of 2008.
Price score: 2
Battery Life
Sony's VAIO VGN-TZ298N is a notebook apart from the others included in this roundup. It features both a 250 GB 5,400 RPM SATA hard disk drive and a 60 GB Solid State Drive. Its 10.8 V 5800 mAh (designed and actual capacity) battery lasted for 207 minutes. The notebook's somewhat lower speed processor likely contributed to this long battery life, but we also suspect that the design of the battery played a role.
Battery Life score: 5.00
The VGN-TZ298N also proved to be the best performer in our tests: that solid state disk drive helped it achieve a score of 6661 on the PCMark Vantage "hard disk drive" tests. Additionally, the same drive boosted many of the Sony's scores on the other PCMark Vantage tests. In the Windows Experience Hard Disk benchmark, however, while the solid state drive provided a slight edge over the other notebooks, the Sony certainly didn't run away with that benchmark.
Performance score: 5.00

Typical ignorant fanboi BS.
Get your facts straight. Nothing wrong with a Mac other than total cost of ownership and slightly reduced software choices... although the default browser is very unsecure (but fixable, DL any other). But, there is nothing special about them except their style and slightly better ease of use for the "technologically challenged".
1Placebo , November 5, 2008 3:29 PMFirst of, Macs are rubbish. Buying one is alright for the creative crowd, whose fav. software is exclusive for OSX. Other than that, the company would have already closed up, if not saved by the mighty (LOL) Ipod-brand.
Regarding the otherwise brilliant review, how come the Dell M1330 isn't mentioned, or even tested, its not even on the site?!?!
Best selling product in the category for almost two years. Anyone buying should look into it. Had one for around a year, can honestly say its the best electronic device i ever owned.
Its cheap, lightwight and with supurb spec!

i only hoped they'd be a little less expensive cause i bought my 17" for € 899 and got a shedload of stuff i didn't need like that fingerprint scanner ,bluetooth ,ir , ...
0Anonymous , November 6, 2008 1:07 AMCan we post a review of ultraportables with eSATA and Express Card ? I think the ASUS U6V (not sure) has one, the Dell E4200 and E4300 have eSATA but no Express Card. The Lenovo X200 and X300 series have some great features. I really hope manufacturers start making machines with eSATA and Express Card and not one or the other. Oh and How about the Toshiba dynabook R6 ?

0Anonymous , November 6, 2008 10:47 AM@comedy
have you actually read this article. NO! If you read the very first page, you will understand why we need these so called "ultraportables", and can't stand the new fashion of eee pc's, that can barely surf the net.
We need these things to be small, so they can be with us at all times, but also powerfull enough to run heavy software. For an example, i would need one to be able to run apache server, illustrator cs4, firefox, dreamweaver cs4 and perhaps even photoshop at the same time.
See some of us make a living from the nets and are not stuck in the office, so we want a computer that can perform in the tasks we need to accomplish, but also easily travel the world with us. One!
2onesloth , November 6, 2008 4:04 PMFor the price range of these machines, this article should have included the MacBook Air. It meets all he requirements the author chose, with the exceptions of not having a screen too small to read nor keyboard too small for serious typing.
0Anonymous , November 9, 2008 3:28 AMIs there a reason the P8020 and the Sony TT weren't reviewed here? I know they're new, but it would be more informative to review the latest models, especially considering the advances in Intel's Centrino 2 package.
-1Anonymous , November 9, 2008 2:14 PMMac Book Air beats all these hands down. While you can install Vista on a MacBook Air? Why would you. A notebook with OS X has a way better battery life and it runs faster then Vista. It's also more secure.
1Anonymous , November 9, 2008 10:42 PMNot having the Thinkpad X200 feels like a big slap in the face. It is a 12.1" notebook with an optional LED Backlit 1440x900 screen, something none of these offer. Plus it runs normal, not low-voltage, Core 2 Duo processors for outstanding performance. I just don't understand at all why it was not included.

take it easy, i was ASKING why not, the article doesn't specify those particular programs - and while yes, they're not 'powerful' they are portable, so i asked about it.
the atom isn't so bad, i have a core2 laptop (19 inches and about 10 kilos) and while it outstrips the atom one in performance, they can both run the same stuff, it's just one is a bit faster than the other...
perhaps you should think about going back to the office, all those programs you're running will suck the life out of any battery, get a desktop, a comfy chair and a window.
0Anonymous , January 16, 2009 6:52 AMWindows is an operating system for those who need the absolute best software compatibility they can get. Windows has trouble running at times and it is has security wholes. Windows was designed to be played with and be customized to how you want it (lol staying with in copyright of course) to be for you.
Mac OSX is a very stable operating system that comes with most all of the software you need and is by far the easiest to use. I still can not get used to the fact everything is done for me though. If you are technically challenged, do not care for Windows, or if you love Apple products then the Apple Macintosh is for you. The big flaw with Apple is there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIY COMPUTER BUILDING. I do not care for the hardware you get stuck with and can not change. Hardware customization is very important for those actively upgrading.
Finally, there is Linux. Linux is the best running operating system you can get and is also the ultimate OS in customizing (if you have the know how). Linux has so many distributions to choose from such as Fedora Core, Red Hat Enterprise, Ubuntu (the most common from what I have seen), etc. Linux has been the choice operating system for many programmers due to the ease of customizing, low requirements, compatibility with most hardware, and most of the time the OS is free. Lol Linux is probably the only OS you can get for free only due to the fact that it has been in what I would think to be a never-ending "Beta." Linux is not very common due to the lack of it being less-user friendly for the technically challenged, however recent distributions have begun to solve that issue with Windows emulation and user-friendly GUI. Linux does not suffer from spyware and virus attacks due to Windows being the most pre-dominent OS on the market.
One note on Mac OSX. OSX has a core and kernel with Linux FreeBSD coding at the heart. That's right Mac users you use Linux. This version of FreeBSD is just tweaked with ALOT of eye candy and a very-user-friendly GUI. This makes it very secure for the most part. However, concern has been growing within advanced users as the popularity of Apple computers are increasing. Windows is attacked not only because Microsoft can't build a brick wall to stop a virus, but also because of the fact it is the most used OS. If Mac OSX becomes the dominant OS of the world, expect spyware and viruses to begin infiltrating your hard disks. In the mean time make the switch from using Safari to Firefox. You will save the headache of someone stealing your logins or even worse your financial info. Sorry Apple users but Safari sux just as much as Internet Explorer. Make the switch to Firefox.

it states about using SSD HD yet at "Noise and Heat" section it mentions about "the drives were spinning" as far as i know SSD HD does not spin.
or it might be the author plugs in supplied external optical drive.

Bulgaria's Sveshtari Thracian Tomb Celebrated Life
Over the year, Bulgarian archaeologists have made important new discoveries about the Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari, announced archaeologist Prof. Diana Gergova.
Among the most amazing discoveries was the fact that a golden casket discovered last year was placed on a powerful living tree in one of the tombs.
In ancient pagan Europe, strong trees were symbols of life and growth, and links between the terrestrial realm and the realm of gods.
"This mound is really unique compared to the other mounds in the site. Within it, we found new data for animal sacrifices, too," said Gergova, as quoted by the Focus Radio.
Gergova argued that the important findings in the area mandate the creation of a museum at the site to display some of the items and tell their story.
The Sveshtari or Sboryanovo Thracian site was first discovered in 1982, nearby the Muslim holy site Demir Baba Teke near the town of Isperih, in Bulgaria's northeaster Razgrad region.
The facilities at the site have been left by the Getae, whose major city of Helis is believed to have been located nearby.
In 2012, archaeologists retrieved a major golden treasure at Sboryanovo.

Moving Win7 Partition to Another Drive
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium N and XP Home on a dual-boot system but I want to move my Windows 7 partition from one drive to another but am not sure how to do it. Currently XP is on partition C: and Windows 7 on partition O: and essentially, what I want to do is to move partition O: to my main drive where space is already available for this to be done.
I have seven drives on my system amounting to 6.5Tb (2Tb on external drives) and currently Windows 7 is on a partition on one of the internal 1Tb drives. However, I would like to free up the space being used and place Windows 7 in a separate 50Gb partition at the end of my main drive (500Gb). Since I pre-partitioned the current Windows 7 partition before installation, I do not have the 'hidden' partition I've read so much about.
I have an old DOS version of Ghost on a boot CD and can readily back up the current Windows 7 partition ready for recovering to the prepared partition on my main drive. Once transferred I then want to delete the current Windows 7 partition. However, I know there is more to it than this! I am quite happy to reletter the partition to drive O: since I have software installed on the Windows 7 partition which is referred to in the registry. All this I'm fairly confident about doing - but it is operations involving the boot manager that I am completely unsure of. How does the system know where the boot info is located? What points it to the right partition/drive? Does it refer to the drive and/or partition? Is there anything else I just may have overlooked? Finally, should I perhaps just leave it where it is until I'm ready to do a reinstall on the appropriate partition?
A lot of questions I'm afraid but I would appreciate some help as I'm fairly new to the question of dual-boot systems and boot management. Thanks very much.
Tracey Woodmason
PS I have been looking for info on this in all sorts of places but have not so far found the answers to my questions. Sorry for any inconvenience if the info I'm looking for is already on this, or another, site. It's just that I've not found the info so far and any help being pointed in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks. I also trust this is the right forum for this message.

Windows 7 Professional x64
Hello, Welcome to the Forums!
Certainly, this is the right place to post. With the number of members we have, your question is almost guaranteed an answer.
Go ahead and move the partition using whatever tools you want. You are right, there will be issues after that. Fortunately, it is simple to fix these.
After you move the partition, run a Startup Repair 3 times, fewer is it works sooner.
If that does not work, post back. There are other tools we can use to repair it.

Could you attach a picture of your Disk Mangement Window and possibly a printout of the bcdedit screen if you open an administrative command prompt and type:
Do this from within Win 7.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2010
Hi Tracey - You can attach the requested Disk Management and bcdedit screenshot using the cool new Snipping Tool in Start Menu, attaching file with paper clip in reply box
Then we can advise you better what exact steps are needed.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2010
Thanks for the replies folks. I hope they're not too small to read but I attach screenshots of my disk layout and BCDEdit screen. Hopefully it'll be more clear as to what I want to do if you relate it to my initial post. As you can see, Windows 7 is on disk 4 but I want to move it to the end of disk 1. I should also add that since my initial post I've absorbed the space made available at the end of disk 1 into my video partition (G but I can quite easily create that space again.
Part of the reason for wanting to do this is that currently disk 0 is a data storage disk of 1Tb but that in turn is backed up to a partition of only 950Gb the remaining 50Gb being taken up by Windows 7.
Again thanks for your help.
Tracey Woodmason
PS: I assume that Disk 0 is showing up as disk 0 since it is attached to a SATA add-in card as my mobo only has four SATA connectors.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2010
Just some comments and observations:
Your boot files are in the C: partition, so moving the Windows install would not effect those.
You would have to edit the BCD store to change the O: to G: --can you edit the store and can you set it back to O: if necessary using a command line?
You will be moving the install into a logical partition, which can never be made active. If you decide to take XP out for some reason, you would still need a primary partition to boot from.
I personally like having my OSes on separate, independent hard drives so I can remove one for whatever reason and still have the other.
If you want to wait till some of the others come back, probably a good idea. You might try moving the files, and make sure you move the hidden system files as well and then change the BCD store as indicated. If you need to change it back, you can use the Win 7 Install DVD by booting to it and possibly startup repair or using bcdedit.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2010
Hi Saltgrass
Thanks for the reply. As far as the partition I would create is concerned, that would be a primary partition appearing AFTER G:. This would be done using Acronis Disk Director from XP to reduce the current size of G: by 50Gb and then using the space freed up to create a primary partition of 50Gb into which Windows 7 would be placed. The reduction in the size of G: is no real hardship as there is plenty of spare space available - I've never used it all and what does go on it is only transitory.
As for editing the BCD store I really don't know if I can edit it or not. If you're talking about using BCDEdit then I think it'll be a case of using EasyBCD as I understand this does just about everything that BCDEdit does and more. Whatever, if you don't mind, I'll wait until the others come back to the forum and see what they have to say before I do anything.
Generally I get the feeling there are some people who have no problem at all in moving their Windows partition. However, as I said in my initial post, I'm new to the idea of dual-booting and I definitely don't want to make a mess of it. I'd sooner wait to see what others have to say so I can consider all comments/advice as well as the implications of moving Windows 7. It's NOT something I'm approaching without a great deal of thought and care!
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2010
We help with these resize/move operations all the time here with nearly complete success as long as the steps are followed.
But resize/move ops can fail so back up your files on the HD's involved, including a Windows 7 Backup image so you can start over if necessary after reimaging the HD in 15 minutes.
Wouldn't you rather have the Windows 7 partition in the lower address of the HD where the laser is parked, for faster read? Please consider that and let us know.
Whichever you decide, logical partition would need to be shrunk to make unallocated space for the Windows 7 partition to be copied into, where it will remain Primary Active boot partition. Copying may require the MBR to be repaired which is achieved by booting the Windows 7 DVD or Repair CD to run Startup Repair 3 times.
The best tool in Windows 7 to achieve resize, move and copy operations is bootable Partition Wizard CD. Norton Ghost is fine if you prefer it for copying.
We can advise you the exact steps once you make a final decision where you want Windows 7 placed.
|My System Specs
|03 Jan 2010
Thanks for your reply and you've certainly given me food for thought. I suppose I could move Windows 7 to a partition next to drive C: and still have the same drive letter, i.e. O:, thus retaining the integrity of the programs I have installed on other drives. Must admit I hadn't really considered that but will sleep on it overnight and get back to the forum in the morning but I suspect that will be the way I shall go.
I'm afraid I am one of those people who like to be sure I have all the tools I need in case of an emergency and as part of that preparation I already have Partition Wizard together with an associated boot disk. As I said in an earlier post, I already have Acronis Disk Director Suite but it doesn't work in Windows 7. Neither does the TrueImage version I use so I also have Todo Backup (a free disk imaging program). Nevertheless, I suspect I would probably use Disk Director from within XP to make space available.
As for carrying out partition resizing exercises, I must admit to having done it many times, plus I ALWAYS make a backup of all my main partitions (including XP and Windows 7) every Saturday using TrueImage. In addition I also backup XP and Windows 7 from DOS using the old version of Ghost I spoke of. I generally make sure to retain at least five such backup sets although this only includes drives C: to F:. Perhaps its time I started backing up G: as well.
Anyway, will get back to the forum in the morning.

Hi gregrocker
I've now had a chance of thinking about your suggestion and yes, I think I'll go with it. So, this morning I shall make sure I spend some time making 50Gb of space for Windows 7 immediately after my drive C:. I'll also copy my Windows 7 partition into the space made available using Partition Wizard. Since I know how to that perhaps you could give me advice as to where I go from there. As I said at the very outset, its the operations involving the bootloader that bother me. How do I tell the system where Windows 7 is located? If its any help, I do have the beta version(!) of EasyBCD installed which also deals with Windows 7. Thanks for all your help.

Fugitive Iraqi VP Hashemi leaves Turkey for Qatar
Iraq's Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi speaks to the media as he leaves a meeting with Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, unseen, in Ankara, Turkey, Sept. 9, 2012. (Photo: AP, Karim Kadim )
Fugitive Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi has left Turkey for Qatar for talks, a Qatari news agency said on Sunday.
Sunni vice president Hashemi, who was given three death sentences by an Iraqi court after it found him guilty of ordering his bodyguards to attack Shiite pilgrims, took refuge in Turkey, fueling tensions between Turkey and Iraq.
All verdicts have been delivered in absentia, since Hashemi is in exile in Turkey after fleeing in December 2011, when the Shiite-led government leveled the accusations against him.
Hashemi is a longtime opponent of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite Muslim. The government has accused the vice president of playing a role in some 150 bombings, assassinations and other attacks from 2005 to 2011. That was a period when Iraq was mired in the retaliatory sectarian violence that followed the 2003 US-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein's Sunni regime.
Hashemi has dismissed the charges as a political vendetta pursued by his long-time rival, Maliki.

"This is a mistake," said David Rothman, 55, who moved to Crested Butte 20 years ago, of the decision to let Anheuser-Busch take over the town to film a beer commercial. "Frankly, it's vulgar and it's cheap."

MTS Multiply
Back in 2004, I left the church where I first became part of God's family. For a good reason. While my church was a godly, Bible-believing church, it was also heavily resourced. But a way smaller church, with far fewer resources, which was also a godly, Bible-believing church, needed help. They had raised the money to put on a ministry apprentice, under the banner of the Ministry Training Strategy (MTS). They offered the role to me and I accepted. 2004 was the year I began full-time ministry as part of a church ministry team.
Over three years (most MTS apprenticeships go for two years but I call them quitters) (do I need to specify that my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek?) I learnt a lot about communicating the gospel, pastoring people and getting ministries up and running. I wouldn't trade that time for anything and I'm really glad for the solid foundations it gave me as I started at theological college.

October 31, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Gov. Bill Haslam says the long-term prospects for his anti-meth proposal remain strong despite the bill being sidetracked in a House subcommittee this week.
The Republican governor told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he still believes in his administration's proposal to cap the amount of cold and allergy medicines used to make the illegal drug.
The House Criminal Justice Subcommittee a day earlier parked Haslam's proposal until its last meeting, while advancing Chairman Tony Shipley's bill that carries lesser restrictions on the amount of medicines that could be bought without a prescription.
The Kingsport Republican said his bill would set that annual limit at an eight-month supply, while the governor's proposal would restrict people with chronic allergies to less than a three-month supply before requiring a prescription.

Enroll in an AP calculus course at school to learn what is covered on a math exam. Calculus often follows 4 years of previous secondary school math. Home schoolers can also prepare for an Advanced Placement exam through independent study. Some states offer Advanced Placement exams online.
How to Score Well on an AP Math Exam
Dozens of Advanced Placement (AP) exams make gaining college credit as easy as taking a test. You'll increase your chances of success through study and preparation. Math is represented by two AP tests in calculus-Calculus A for beginning classes and Calculus AB for more advanced. Follow these steps to score well on an Advanced Placement math exam.
Check with the College Board for available resources to help you study for your exam. Exam review CDs are one option for calculus.
Practice for the AP calculus exam through the College Board's free-response questions. All you need is a computer with Adobe Reader or another pdf viewer. Other web-based reviews include Learning Express. Practice tests in Learning Express are immediately scored with an explanation of the answer. See if your school or public library provides free access to the learn-a-test database offered by the Learning Express Library.
Take an AP math review class to learn tips and recommendations. Search for a legitimate provider through an educational institution. Review classes provide an opportunity to further practice for an upcoming AP math exam, and they also offer study strategies.
Focus on differential and integral calculus for the Calculus AB exam. For example, know how to solve different types of problems using integrals.
Remember to show all your work in working out an equation. You may gain partial credit on the exam when you show partial solutions.

Topics: Marketplace, Politics, Public Health, Health Costs
May 25, 2012
Showing unusual bipartisan spirit, the Senate passed a massive FDA user-fee reauthorization bill Thursday designed to prevent drug shortages and speed federal approval of medicines, including lower-cost generic versions.
Politico: FDA User Fee Bill Passed By Senate
With little bickering and no effort to repeal the Obama administration's health reform law, the Senate passed the massive Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act on Thursday well ahead of schedule. ... The $6.4 billion, five-year reauthorization of FDA-industry user fee agreements partially funds the agency's review of drugs and medical devices, which would have expired at the end of September without action. Previous user fee authorizations have been contentious affairs. But notwithstanding the election-year and health care politics that dominate Congress, the bill sailed through with hardly a complaint (Norman, 5/24).
The New York Times: Senate Backs Bipartisan Bill To Speed Drugs And Avert Shortages
The Senate passed a major bipartisan bill on Thursday to prevent drug shortages and to speed federal approval of lifesaving medicines, including lower-cost generic versions of biotechnology products. A similar bill is on a fast track to approval in the House, perhaps as early as next week. President Obama, consumer groups and pharmaceutical companies strongly support the legislation (Pear, 5/24).
The Hill: Senate Passes FDA Reauthorization
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the bill's passage was how all legislation should move through the Senate. "I know people are anxious to move on and I am too but I have to say just a word," Reid said after the vote. "I have already said in my caucus how much I appreciate the work of Sen. Enzi. He is a fine senator. He and Sen. Harkin have worked so well together on this. It's exemplary for what the rest of us should do" (Strauss, 5/24).
The Hill: Senate Republicans Criticize Obama As Drug Reimportation Amendment Fails
Republicans are slamming President Obama for his silence on drug reimportation legislation, claiming he has broken his campaign promise to allow seniors to buy cheaper medications from other countries. The pharmaceutical industry strongly opposes the idea, which failed again in the Senate on Thursday. Reimportation was kept out of the 2003 bill that created Medicare Part D and the 2010 healthcare law, though as a senator, Obama had co-sponsored a measure to allow it (Viebeck, 5/24).
Modern Healthcare: Senate OKs Measure To Reauthorize User-Fee Programs
The Senate easily passed a reauthorization of the Food and Drug Administration's drug and device user-fee programs and authorized new generic and biosimilar user-fee programs. The 96-1 vote to pass the measure followed a series of close votes that crossed partisan lines in which the chamber rejected a series on amendments, including one to allow the importation of pharmaceuticals from Canada (Daly, 5/24).
MedPage Today: Senate Passes Drugmaker User Fee Bill
One piece of the massive FDA user fee legislation would reauthorize the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), the popular program that charges drug companies fees that help fund the FDA's drug approval programs. Since PDUFA was first passed in 1992, it has become the major revenue stream for the FDA's drug review programs, with user fees funding 62% of the agency's drug review expenses in 2010. Funding from PDUFA also has enabled the agency to hire more staff, and it has been hailed as a success by those who point to the shorter drug review times after PDUFA (Walker, 5/24).
Minneapolis Star Tribune: Congress Acts To Ease Shortages Of Vital Drugs In FDA Overhaul
Axel Zirbes' doctor said his leukemia required cytarabine, a standard chemotherapy drug that attacks cancers of the white blood cells…. That set the family on a nationwide scramble to find a dose -- a quest repeated by thousands of other families in Minnesota and around the country. It also touched off pleas for help to lawmakers like U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., one of several who took up their case in legislation approved Thursday in the Senate. The provision, which requires drugmakers to issue warnings of looming drug shortages, also has been written into a bill expected to clear the House next week (Diaz and Spencer, 5/24).

I'm working on my 2012 season preview, and I realized something about the NFC West: This division has an incredible group of running backs. Every team has at least one player who can make a serious difference in every game.
Sure, Beenie Wells is hurt a lot, and Frank Gore and Steven Jackson don't have much tread left on the tires, but don't that that fool you. All 3 have the potential to take over games. There's good backups too, with guys like Leon Washinton and Kendall Hunter (possibly even Brandon Jacobs). Throw in high profile rookies LaMicheal James, Isaiah Pead, and Robert Turbin, and you start to see how deep this group is.
And in all that, I didn't even mention Seattle's Marshawn Lynch and Michael Robinson, both of whom were pro-bowlers last season. At this point I think that, from top to bottom, this division has the best group of backs in the entire league.
But within this group, which team has the best? I want to get you opinion:

Sex Movies Network has a lot of raw, hardcore movies and Raw XXX Movies has a lot of sex movies. Actually, regardless of their different names, both sites have the same main content and they both look exactly the same (except for the different sitenames in the banner).
Sign into either site and you are greeted with all the latest additions right there on the homepage. Choose from one of those or click on the "view all" button and start browsing all the content on offer, which at this point equals 899 photo sets and 1,140 videos.
It's all nonexclusive, but at least there's a ton of it. Moreover, with their generic-sounding titles, it's all theme-related. The first video I watched was a hardcore scene featuring this gorgeous babe from Spain. The next was a rough anal-sex scene and the third was a hot MFF threesome that ended with a two-face facial. I watched more, but you get the idea.
As for the quality of the content, the pictures are high-res (there are Zip downloads) and the videos offer good to HD downloads and the ability to stream them directly on the site. Each comes in a full-length version as well as clips. I could also save any scene to my favorties and rate them on a 5-star scale (you can sort them by their ratings also).
Each scene is dated, which tells me that nothing has been added to the site since November 2012. This doesn't bode well for future growth, but the site is already big enough to recommend even if it never adds anything new ever again. Also, extras include loads of video feeds with many streaming reality sites and bonus sites with downloads. However, there is overlap among the bonuses since most sites in the network that share the same theme, share the same content, too.
Overall, Sex Movies Network offers a lot of content for mainstream hardcore porn lovers to enjoy - as long as nonexclusive material isn't a deal breaker fo you. Of course, if you have already checked out Raw XXX Movies, there is no need to bother with this one as well.

The Official BTB Discussion Thread

Getting ignored by SCOTT STEINER

Re: The Official BTB Discussion Thread
I am planning a BTB for here. I've always liked creative writing from a wrestling stand-point and have done it for a good 5 years but never showcased my work. Well, I've done a whole lot of planning, watch some matches from the time frame, 2 PPV's (Wrestlemania XIX and Judgement Day 2003) to get a feel for things again, aswell as recapping Kane's un-masking and rampage that followed, Brock/Kurt's renewel of their epic rivalry including the Iron Man Match, and Vince/Sable etc.
I plan on kicking things off the night after Summerslam 2003. I've always thought that this would be a fun time frame to write in seeing as the roster was stacked with talent and options. First off, I'd like to know:
- Would a short recap of TV shows, Raw and Smackdown, be fine? Not one line for every segment, but rather, a paragraph or two? Not like, 3 or 4 lines, but enough to create an image in the readers head, get the point across, further things etc.? PPV's would be written in maximum detail which I think you are accustomed to around here, checking out the BTB Hall of Fame (some fantastic work! Bravo, WF!).
- Whats the deal with feedback? A few lines explaining what stood out to you and why, or a breakdown of every segment and whatnot?

I wish to clear up a bit of a misunderstanding regarding a wierd email that
some of you recieved. If you were affected, you recieved an email with no
subject containing text along the lines of:
Your ueber-secret password on 0wned.com is fD83#2a
Brock Tellier
Unix Systems Administrator
Chicago, IL, usa
btellier () usa net
I'll admit, it's an odd thing to recieve, but let me explain. Those of you
who got the correct bugtraq post from me recieved "UnixWare read/modify users'
mail", a post which detailed how any user could read other people's mail under
UW7.1. In it, I set up a typical scenario where this would happen, including
copy/pasteing an example email that might have been intercepted. I pasted
this message, along with all the mail headers, into my advisory. The result
of this is that some of your broken email programs interpereted this as TWO
SEPERATE MESSAGES. It was actually only ONE message which contained the
message headers in the body of the message. As Aleph One explained it to me:
It did not get screwed. It seems to be the result of broken MUA's that
can't even properly read a mbox formated file correctly. They seem to be
confused by the message. Using any decent MUA the message is displayed
just fine.
All this being said, please understand that I didn't send out a real password
to 0wned.com (I wonder how many ssh connections that server got using
root:fd*3la () A as their login/pass) and I do not have any affiliation with this

Famed Millville facility to close
In the mid-1940s, operators started bringing their aircraft to newly established Airwork at Millville Municipal Airport, N.J., for engine repair and overhaul. Soon Airwork had earned a reputation for excellent service. Over the years the company expanded and changed ownership several times. In 1998 Dallas Airmotive acquired the operation from GE and further expanded services. But last month Dallas Airmotive revealed it will close the Millville operation and consolidate engine work at its Dallas and Neosho, Mo., locations. No specific timetable was given, but a Dallas Airmotive executive told AIN that it will take a "few months" to make the transition.

Aug. 17, 2012
There is a cabin by a river in Montana. Remote, in a canyon on the Missouri outside of Great Falls. It started as her grandparents' place, and it remains in the family, even though none of the family lives here any longer.
She spent time there every summer and had the kind of experiences that leave you making plans for the next visit, 12 long months away, at the same time you're packing up from your current one.
In her real life she lived in Lake Elsinore, a city of 50,000 located 75 miles from both Los Angeles and San Diego and fewer than 20 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean.
They were different worlds. In Montana she was anonymous. In Lake Elsinore she was making a name for herself on the soccer field. As the annual trips continued to the cabin, so did her steady improvements as an athlete, until she ultimately trained herself into a Division I prospect.
An assistant coach at TCU contacted her, guy by the name of Mark Plakorus. The Horned Frogs were interested, but Mackenzie Akins didn't share reciprocal feelings, and she gave Nevada a verbal commitment.
Time passed, and the coach contacted her again from his new job at Montana. He was now a head coach. "He said, `If anything happens, give me a call.' I was like, whatever," Akins recalls.
Something did happen. When an issue with her scholarship at Nevada arose, Akins, whose No. 1 goal in life was to play college soccer, was left without a school, without a team, without the prospect of soccer.
"I'm freaking out at that point, because it's really late in the recruiting process," she said after practice earlier this week at South Campus Stadium, calmly now, with plenty of hindsight.
She remembered Mark Plakorus and his offer, and for the first time she connected the two: Her visits to Montana every summer and the opportunity to marry that with her goal of playing Division I soccer.
Score: The persistent Plakorus. Assist: Nevada. Winner: The Grizzly soccer program.
Plakorus values competitiveness in his players. This is but one example why he wanted Akins on his team at TCU and then on his team at Montana.
Her Lakeside High team went 37-1-2 in Sunbelt League games her four years starting for the Lancers. The one loss: To crosstown rival Temescal Canyon High during Akins' junior year. It gave the Titans the league crown, the one that forces Akins to list three Sunbelt titles on her resume instead of four.
When the two Sunbelt favorites met last spring, Lakeside cruised to a lopsided 4-1 victory behind a hat trick from Akins.
"(The players from the two schools) used to be best friends in middle school," she says. "But then we went to different high schools, and it became super competitive.
"We weren't really friends anymore. We were actually pretty hostile toward each other on the field. So it was really sweet to score those three goals, because I knew the whole team hated me."
Mackenzie, one of Kelly and Shannon Akins' four children, even says, "I lost," when discussing last fall's Homecoming court at Lakeside. She made it from the initial group of 20 to the final five, but she was not voted queen. If you're not first, you might as well be last. "I hate to lose in anything. Winning, that's my favorite."
You can almost see Plakorus nodding his head in understanding and approval.
That competitiveness, combined with 14 years of practice, resulted in a career that will be memorialized in the record books. Akins played club soccer for the So Cal Blues and later the San Diego Surf and was named The Californian's All-Valley Player of the Year last spring.
She scored 45 goals her senior year with 15 assists to lead the CIF Southern Section, one of the nation's hot spots for prep girls soccer, in scoring.
Akins, who has a fraternal twin sister she'll be able to visit when Montana plays at Northern Arizona in October, finished her prep career with 112 goals, super-hero comic-book numbers that make it read like she was toying with fifth graders. A seven-goal game, three five-goal efforts, three four-goal matches and half a dozen ho-hum hat tricks.
She knows those types of numbers won't continue at Montana, and she is fine with that. As long as the winning never stops.
"My goal is to adjust to the college game and play as well as I can for the team in whatever role they need me to play," she says.
"I'm not looking to score a certain amount of goals. I'm just going to try to play my best and do whatever the team needs me to do to be successful."
The family cabin is still there, and Akins still remains a stranger in the state. Her outsider status won't last long, however, because Griz Nation is always quick to adopt a winner.
Her path from Lake Elsinore to Missoula wasn't a straight line, but what matters to Akins is how it turned out.
"I love it here, and that's not a surprise," she says. "I've always loved Montana."

I just talked to our tech department and that situation is as follows: Google changed an entry on a couple of apps ID and your's was one of them. Because of this change it takes a little more time for us to enter certian apps into our data base but I let the tech department know about it and they should have your entry set up by tomorrow at the latest.

Hope that helps!
If you're still having trouble PM me.

I have now uploaded my apk file without any problems. Thanks for letting me know the details of the issue!

Just a little bit about myself: I'm an independant developer from Vancouver, BC, Canada and I've been working on two Android and iPhone games for the past year for fun and to try to create something worthwhile.

I just ported my free game, A Fuzzy Memory, to Android and I'd like to share it with everyone! (Currently having trouble publishing it to Android Pit for some reason which I'll post on another thread)

I'm currently using the Sony Xperia Mini Pro for development. It's a great little device =] Emphasis on the "little" as it has a 2.55 inch screen. Very responsive with Android 2.3.3 on it.

Son contracted a nasty case of Tonsillitis - Pooch got an explosive tummy upset, less said about that the better. I lost at everything, Trivial Pursuits, Charades, Monopoly, Cluedo - Zilch!!
I cracked the screen on my shiny red computer, Husband lent me an old one of his, the day after the battery re- charger went 'ker plunk'. I am now using one which had been consigned to that great scrapheap in the west, our spare room, it has a corrupt hard drive, so at any moment I may disappear.

If I would of known then what I know now. A common expression that is often used. I think about it when I look back at the purchase of my first house.
My wife, who was my fiancé back in 1994, and I decided that we would go with a new construction home. We met with a Realtor, who at that time was a family friend, who introduced us to a builder in Cumberland, RI, Back then Buyer's Agent were not too common. In our minds we thought that this Realtor was representing us, when in fact he was representing the builder. In our meeting, we decided on the type of house that we were going to have built. We then wrote a deposit check made out directly to the builder.
That was a big mistake on our part. In Hein sight, the deposit should have been made out to the Realtor's company and held in their escrow account. Being young and naive about becoming an owner of a brand new home blinded us to the danger of what we ended up dealing with.
The builder went bankrupt. Our deposit was gone and we never ended up with the house that he was building for us. Just like that, all of the money that we saved for a down payment was gone.
Luckily we ended up in a beautiful home in Seekonk, MA but it was an expensive lesson that we learned. My advice to you, use a Buyer's Agent. It cost nothing to do so and in the end it can save you a lot of money and headaches.
Oh, and by the way, this builder is still selling houses as a licensed Realtor, go figure - Buyer Beware.
