The album sleeve for U2′s Achtung Baby album consists of 4×4 squared montage of 16 images by the band's long-time photographer, Anton Corbijn, devised since the band couldn't decide on a single image to use. One of which is a naked photo of Adam Clayton.
The nude photo of Clayton was placed on the rear cover of the record. Here's a close-up of the Mr. Clayton in all his glory.
On the U.S. CD and cassette sleeves, Clayton's private parts are censored with a black "X" or a four-leaf clover but the vinyl edition featured the photo uncensored.
Bono has called the sleeve his favourite U2 cover artwork.

Scott leaning toward starting Wesley Johnson at 3 over Nick Young. Wants Wes' athleticism & potential on D, while Young can score off bench
Source: Lakers sign Wesley Johnson to 1 year, $1 million deal
Chris Kaman (ankle) and Pau Gasol (upper respiratory infection) will play. Wesley Johnson (gastroenteritis) is questionable to play.
Wesley Johnson is out for the rest of the night after straining his left foot.
St. Paul Pioneer Press "Clutching his purple-and-gold No. 11 jersey, Wesley Johnson called joining the Los Angeles Lakers "a dream come true." Johnson told a small gathering of media Thursday how he grew up a Lakers fan and that it fueled his desire to wear the colors of his childhood idols. "Since I was younger,..." July 20
Lakers agreed to terms with SG Wesley Johnson...1-yr deal for vet's min of $1 mill. Was 4th pick in 2010 draft, played last season for PHX.
Arizona Republic "There was no hint that Wes Johnson was about to catch fire before his hot hand made four 3-pointers in two minutes of Sunday's Suns loss to Brooklyn. Johnson had made 2 of 7 shot attempts over nearly three quarters. His first 3-pointer of the streak came by happenstance, when Markieff Morris..." March 27

Occasionally we will be asked by a customer why they should consider a glue-style outserter instead of a tape-style. There are three key advantages to outserting with glue versus tape:
Lower operating cost – Overall operating costs are typically much lower with hot melt adhesive. This is primarily due to the ongoing material cost of tape vs. glue. Hot melt adhesive is typically 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of tape with comparable properties.
- Less downtime – Typically, outserters using tape will incur more downtime due to roll changes, roll splicing, roll alignment, and other maintenance issues. With the improved glue technology and the performance of the latest nozzle designs, previous hot melt issues have been all but eliminated, translating to a much more effective and efficient application method.
- Better bonding – With the various types of caps and surfaces (especially the raised letters on CR caps), tape applied outserts have very limited bonding strength as there are only a few points of contact. Hot melt adhesive will form around the surface area of the substrate and provide a larger, more consistent contact area. Also, hot melt provides the flexibility to increase or decrease the amount of adhesive being used depending upon the substrate surface.
Usually after a close examination of the two methodologies and the advantages outlined above, it's easy to see why most new outserting lines that are installed today use glue-style outserters.

The Best Cars from Californias Ultimate Week-Long Car Show
One week a year, automotive enthusiasts converge on California's Monterey peninsula for a series of amazing shows. Concorso Italiano is like one day trip to Italy, with Ferrari red blanketing the golf course on which it is held. The Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca is the spot to see vintage racing and race machines. The Quail will run you $400 for one ticketit's unbelievably expensive, but attracts some of the most interesting cars of the week. And the Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance is the premiere event of the weekend. We attended all four, plus the Concours d'Lemonsa lighthearted spoof of Pebble Beach that draws some of the strangest cars we've ever seen. Here are some of the coolest rides we saw in Monterey this year.

Blitzen Benz
This 1908 Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix car draws 200 hp from a huge 21 (liter) engine. Because it won so many speed records, it was nicknamed the "Blitzen Benz." It lived up to its moniker on Daytona Beach, covering the flying mile at a top speed of 141.7 mphincredible for 1911.

So its been a VERY long time since I've posted up any of my musical developments; I've been hard at work getting as many songs written as I can, while simultaneously making it to the studio anytime I've had a free weekend. This time around, I've actually got something for you all.
Presenting my very first debut project, "My Life in Syntax: The Jay-Z Instrumentals". I changed gears regarding what type of sound I wanted people to hear on my first compilation effort, so I decided to go with some of my favorite Jay-Z beats from his extremely vast discography. Its a summary of my life up until this point, with varying perspectives from different angles of my psyche.
But enough chatter. You can download the project (or by clicking on the artwork above) and actually read a write up regarding it and some of my previous work on section.
In other news, I've been composing more technical numbers nonstop this past month and a half, and have lots of things lined up for the near future while I push this debut project. My output is at an optimum point right now, and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. Feels good to be back in the zone.

With April only round the corner, before we know it the US Masters will be upon us. Both Rory McIlroy and Luke Donald will be battling out for more than just the honour of winning the Masters. Whoever wins will get the prestige of being crowned the golf world number one.
It was Luke Donald's recently completed victory in the US PGA Transitions Championship, on Sunday, that had him reclaim his world number one ranking from Rory McIlroy. He'll go on to try and win his  first major Golf win at the 2012 US Masters. Despite this, McIlroy is still favourite to win the tournament, with odds of $6.4, with Betfair, compared to Donald's odds of $21.00, with Centrebet.

Donald and McIlroy will be joined by the likes of Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood and Adam Scott in taking on the Augusta course. Woods is the second favourite to win the competition with odds of $10, offered by Betfair, closely followed by Mickelson who has odds of $12.50.
Tiger Woods will still be feeling the strain of his strained Achilles tendon and will be hoping to complete his preparation with a successful performance at the PGA Arnold Palmer Invitational. If he succeeds with a good performance this week, his odds will be slashed for a US Masters victory.
Luke Donald is likely to practice with McIlroy this week in Florida, and Donald admits that the topic of world rankings is likely to come up.

a country kid I spent two hours a day on that big yellow instrument
of torture some people call a school bus.
through my government school career I was one of the first if not
the first to have to board that diesel-snorting, cold, hot, stinking,
dangerous because it was often driven too fast on narrow roads,
redneck-bully-filled monstrosity. So I usually avoid thinking about
my term of imprisonment there.
tonight, while thinking about how alienated the average u2018patriot'
really is from mainstream society, it occurred to me that I learned
a few things on the government school bus that I never imagined
might still apply in the adult world. I was so wrong. Here's what
I learned:
as if you know anything at all is the quickest way to get branded
a u2018know it all.'
as if you care about anything that really matters is the quickest
way to get ignored.
to tell others about what really matters, or telling anything that
varies from the accepted stories, is the quickest way to get hated
or feared or beat up.
bullies is not possible. If they can't irritate or abuse you one
way they'll find another.
people will sit idly by and let the bullies beat the stuff out of
you decide to fight back you must always take the high ground, whether
verbal or physical, and make damn sure of it, or the bullies will
take advantage of your poor position.
the u2018moral high ground' is not a sure means to success. It only
angers some bullies and makes them more determined to destroy you
or cause you misery.
liars will not be swayed to the straight path by your good example
or by pleading. They were probably taught to lie at home and it
is part of their value system.
have to choose sides. Doing something because it's u2018the right thing
to do' is beyond the understanding of most adults or children, regardless
of how many times they've been taught otherwise. They will ultimately
always choose what benefits their own survival.
being part of one team or the other is the quickest way to get ignored.
After all, if you don't fit in somewhere, you probably don't deserve
to fit in anywhere.
of the riders on the bus of life will expect you to live down to
their standards, if indeed they have any standards. Of course they
all think they have high standards. But that doesn't make it true.
here's the secret to this. Most of the kids who were bullies as
kids grow out of it one way or another.
often the wimpy smart kids, or sometimes the kids who never really
knew failure so they can't understand why others aren't like them,
who grow up to be bullies in the adult world. They end up writing
the laws or promoting or enforcing them, attempting to tell everyone
else how to live and what to do in the pursuit of regulating every
aspect of our lives.
my years of being forced to attend the government school taught
me something after all.

Cyprus Secures $13 Billion Bailout
By Juergen Baetz, Associated Press
BRUSSELS -- Cash-strapped Cyprus secured a 10 billion euro ($13 billion) bailout package from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund in a bid to prevent the island nation from entering a bankruptcy that could rekindle the region's debt crisis, officials said early Saturday.
In a major departure from established policies, the package foresees a one-time levy on the money held in bank accounts in Cyprus. Analysts have warned that making depositors take a hit threatens to undermine investors' confidence in other weaker eurozone economies and might possibly lead to bank runs.
In return for the rescue loans, Cyprus will trim its deficit, significantly shrink its troubled banking sector, raise taxes and privatize state assets, said the Netherlands' Jeroen Dijsselbloem, president of the Eurogroup meetings of the 17-nation eurozone's finance ministers."The assistance is warranted to safeguard financial stability in Cyprus and the eurozone as a whole," he said, briefing reporters after almost 10 hours of negotiations. People with less than 100,000 euros in their Cypriot bank accounts will have to pay a one-time tax of 6.75%, those owning more money will lose 9.9%. The measure will be carried out early next week and is expected to net 5.8 billion euros in additional revenues, Dijsselbloem added, thereby greatly reducing the country's financing need. "We found it justified in terms of burden sharing to also involve the depositors," said Dijsselbloem, noting that it was a "unique measure" because of Cyprus' outsized banking system. "As it is a contribution to the financial stability of Cyprus, it seems just to ask a contribution of all deposit holders," Dijsselbloem added. Analysts have warned that imposing such a drastic measure could be seen as a watershed moment, undermining the eurozone's credibility. Although the leaders stressed the levy was a unique measure for Cyprus, they said the same when private holders of government bonds were forced to accept losses in Greece. The measure therefore risks scaring investors in Europe's weaker economies, which could lead them to move their deposits to more stable eurozone countries like Germany. In that case, banks in southern Europe's economies might be considerably weakened and could possibly require new bailouts. That could then weaken the respective governments, which might then need further assistance from their eurozone partners -- possibly setting off a vicious spiral.

I was sitting at a luncheon where Frank Sommerville, a leading nonprofit attorney, was providing an update on legal and tax issues. He brought up a 2012 tax court case where the IRS disallowed contributions in the amount of $25,171 because the church contribution tax receipt didn't contain the right disclaimer.
In the case, Durden v. Commissioner, U.S Tax Court Memo 2012-140, the IRS disallowed this contribution. The critical disclaimer on the donors' receipt was missing the phrase, "No goods or services were provided in exchange for these donations except for general religious benefits." The case went on to say the omission could not be corrected by a new receipt issued after the taxpayers had filed their tax return.
At my church, we changed our software system this past year, but unfortunately the default message on our contribution receipts didn't include this IRS required disclaimer. So before we printed and sent our year-end receipts, we made sure we changed the wording to include this disclaimer.
How about your ministry? Does your donation receipt contain this disclaimer? If not, your donors' contributions can be disallowed by the IRS.
Enough said. Okay, time to go check your donation receipts!

I liked the dish but it was very, very spicy. I like spicy but perhaps because I have never bought ancho chiles before, I got ones larger than the recipe called for. Plus, I used 2 jalapenos instead of a red one like Rachael called for. The avocado sauce was a must and helped balance the dish. I watched the video and in the video she does not rinse & drain the black beans. I did rinse & drain to get rid of the excess sodium.

This had great authentic flavor and was easy to make! I could not find dried ancho chilis so I substituted guajillos, which was good. The sour cream sauce is great too! I added bacon to mine, and I think I will add shredded chicken next time!

I'm Ginger, a stay-at-home mom and DIY enthusiast. I love trying to do and/or make as much as I can myself. I've always had the 'crafty bug,' but never really embraced it like I am now. I am slowly teaching myself how to sew and totally falling in love with it. I crochet, but can't knit to save my life. And I love finding and preparing new recipes.
Being a mom of two sweet and energetic young ladies under 5, my time is often limited for crafting and whatnot. Life is busy and I am often searching for ways to simplify, organize, and manage my time so that I can give the best of me to my family while still finding some time for myself and this crafty blog that I love so much.
I'm also a follower of Christ. And while this blog isn't meant to be about my faith, it is inevitable that it's there. After all my relationship with Christ is the most important and significant one of my life.
Gingerly Made is my reflection on all things that I, Ginger, am making in my life. Obviously crafts, gardening, and food and maybe less obviously my family. If you don't believe that we 'make' our families, I urge you to reconsider. (Soap box alert) Stay-at-home moms like myself often lead hidden lives, but they have great sway on our family, our communities, and because of that, our world. I teach my children, and they teach me, how to behave, how to live, how to view the world around us, to have self discipline. I help them learn more than just colors, numbers, and ABCs. Yes, we make our families. And our families make us.
When I first began writing this blog it was called Big Dreams for a Simple Life because we have big plans to move out of the suburb community we are in and into more land without HOAs so we could radically change the way we are living. We want a large, like one acre, garden and chickens. We have dreams of building our own house with gray water systems and solar panels. While we still hold to those dreams and are actively saving so that we can eventually do it, those are long term dreams. And if something happens in regards to this big move, I will write about it. But I don't want to neglect the rest of my life. I don't want to miss what's happening now because I'm only focused on the future.
I hope that you find my blog entertaining and helpful. I welcome all comments, but ask that you please be respectful in your words. I can't wait to get to know you and learn more from you as well.

State of Florida v. U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Nos. 11-CV-11021 & 11-CV-11067, 2011 BL 210461 (11th Cir. Aug. 12, 2011) The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (PPACA) "individual mandate" requiring uninsured U.S. citizens to purchase minimum healthcare insurance or pay a penalty was unconstitutional. The majority opinion concluded that the individual mandate exceeded congressional authority because it was not enacted pursuant to Congress's tax power and exceeded Congress's power under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. Further, the Court concluded that the individual mandate was severable from the remainder of the PPACA, including those provisions affecting employers. The Court also held that the PPACA's expansion of Medicaid was constitutional. Thus, the Court affirmed summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs —26 states, a business federation, and two individuals — on the PPACA's individual mandate, but reversed the district court's holding that the Medicaid provisions and the PPACA in its entirety were unconstitutional.

According to recent research from ES Research Group and Corporate Visions…
72% – of salespeople say buyers have gained more power over sellers in the past three years.
88% – say the amount of price pressure from customers has increased in the past three years.
46% - admit to giving away too much, too soon, before executives get involved.
The result? Painful contract negotiations and low margin business.
To turn this trend around, you need to fundamentally rethink how your team sells and negotiates with your customers. Watch this 4-minute video to find out how:

Are 'Fat Letters' a Good Idea?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 08-22-2013 - 8:07am
Massachusetts -- which has had a weight screening program since 2009 -- is one of 21 states that have implemented statutes or advisories mandating that public schools collect height, weight, and/or BMI (body mass index) information. Some states further require that parents receive confidential letters informing them of the results, advising that they discuss the findings with a health care provider.
But some parents in the Bay State and elsewhere consider such policies an unwelcome intrusion into private family matters. Other objectors say "fat letters," as they are sometimes called, have the potential to trigger bullying or eating disorders among the very children they're trying to help.
In Massachusetts, where parents are letter-informed of BMI results for students in grades 1, 4, 7 and 10, the state department of public health is currently debating a possible repeal of the letter portion of its screening protocol.
Should Parents of Heavy Kids Get "Fat Letters" From School? - http://www.ivillage.com/school-fat-letters-aim-reduce-childhood-obesity/6-a-544973
What do you think? Is BMI something that schools schould be tackling? Is it a good idea to send home BMI results to parents?
|Thu, 08-22-2013 - 2:22pm
If the schools are sending out BMI results along with educational information about BMI to all students, then I think it is okay. That doesn't single anyone out and may help many more people than just some overweight students.
I don't like the idea of schools getting involved in parenting matters but since obesity problems are affecting all of us as a whole, something needs to be done. The schools are probably a good place to start.
|Thu, 08-22-2013 - 3:01pm
It's not just the fat kids who get the letters in MA. It's any kid whose BMI falls above OR below the normal range. So in 7th grade, my very underweight son got one in his backpack. Since he was already being bullied, I'm not sure whether the letter did any more harm.
I do know that it was a PITA because I had to get a doctor's signature on a form stating that she was aware of my son's "weight issue" and that he was healthy in spite of his very low BMI.
I'm not sure schools should be in the business of policing fat or underweight people. I'd rather them just teach my kids, while keeping discipline issues and shootings to a minimum! ;)
|Sat, 08-24-2013 - 6:11pm
I think it could be okay. If they are actually confidential, mailed to the parents. Sent home with the student, there is an opportunity for other kids to see it and use the infomation against the child.
Ideally the schools wouldn't be involved in these health matters but the reality is that some families use the school nurse as their child's primary healthcare provider, just as some expect the school to be the primary educator in non-academic topics such as morals, manners, and hygiene.
If such a letter wakes up some parents and gets them more involved in their child's wellbeing and results in a healthier BMI for the student, then its a good thing.
|Mon, 09-16-2013 - 8:53pm
It's absurd and unnecessarily humiliating and just another example of the nanny state sticking it's nose where it doesn't belong. You're telling the parent something they should already know and can probably figure out just by looking. But to be fair, I'd say go ahead with the letters as long as the weight and waist size of every teacher and administrator was published in the local newspaper as well.

Republic of Viet-Nam Airborne Mail
In 1951, the French organized the 1st Vietnamese Parachute Battalion (BPVN).By May 1955, the Airborne Group comprising the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th Battalions, was organized under the Airborne Command Center in Saigon. The 7th Battalion was deactivated earlier that year. From 1955 to 1965, the 2nd and 8th Airborne Infantry and 1st Airborne Artillery Battalions were added.
1 December 1965 saw the formation of the ARVN Airborne Division with three brigades and three new battalions: the 9th and 11th Infantry and the 2nd Artillery Battalions. An Airborne Reconnaisance Company was also activated at this time. The 7th Division was later reactivated sometime after this date.
The Airborne Division was the strategic Reserve of the Joint General Staff (JGS) as part of the Army of the Republic of Viet-Nam( ARVN). Airborne units were deployed throughout South Vietnam to reinforce troops in the field, to act as "offensive shock units", and to hold strategic areas.
Vietnamese Airborne covers are difficult to locate. This site documents the covers of which I am aware. If you have other examples of Airborne military mail to share, including material from the French period, please contact me at .
Known Airborne Covers
The key to identifying most Vietnamese Airborne covers is the term "Nhay Du," which is frequently abbreviated "ND." Figure 2 showns a terrific cover from KBC 3058. "Tieu Doan Vuong Mong Hong" in the return address refers to a battlion that's training at a base or to an instructor providing unit training. Although there isn't a specific reference to an Airborne unit on the cover, the silhouette of a leaping soldier in front of a series of concentric circles might be seen as a paratrooper. More definitively, the enclosed letter references "Su Doan Nhay Du" at the top.
The insignia is that of the Quang Trung Training Center insignia. The cover is backstamped 14 Dec 1967 Saigon.
Figure 2. Airborne Quang Trung Training Center Cover
The Airborne cover shown in Figure 3 was included in Joe Cartafalsa's Vietnamese military mail exhibit (1999-2000). This cover, addressed to a member of the 9th Airborne Battalion, Company 94 (Tieu Doan 9 Nhay Du Dai Doi 94) at KBC 4804 was written up by Joe in the Indo-china Philatelist and in the article, "An Introduction to the Military Mail of South Viet-Nam" in the 2000 Congress Book. The cancel is illegible, but since the stamps were issued in 1963 and the 9th Airborne Battalion was formed in December 1965, the cover was probably mailed around 1966. The faint KBC cachet might read 4178.
Figure 3. 9th Airborne Battalion Cover
I've come across several covers sent by Nguyen Van Chau at KBC 4919. The first of these covers that I've been able to positively identify as being an Airborne cover, was sent by Chau to Miss Vo Thi Thu Hong on 17 Jul 1973. The manuscript marking "Thu Hanh Quan," in red ink indicates the cover was sent from "in the field".
Figure 4. Cover from Company 70, KBC 4919. 17 July 1973, 9d paid.
There's an enclosure inside dated 10 Aug 1973. While this is later than the date on the cancel, it might still belong with this cover. When troops were in the field, they sometimes post-dated their letters. At any rate, the enclosed letter is definitely part of the correspondence between Chau and Hong and probably from the same operation as the cover.
The word "airborne" doesn't appear on either the cover or contents, however the letter is headed by the phrase "DOAN QUAN MU DO" in bright pink capital letters. "Mu Do" refers to the red berets worn by the Vietnamese paratroopers, and "Doan Quan" means military group or regiment. From this reference, I deduce that Chau was a member of an Airborne unit by the summer of 1973.
Figure 4. Airborne cover from 7th Airborne Battalion, Company 71, KBC 4919
The cover in Figure 4 was sent on 24 September 1973 by Chau to Huynh Van Si in Sadec. Notice the abbreviation "TD7ND" in the third line of the return address. This means "Tieu Doan 7 Nhay Du", or 7th Airborne Battalion. "HQ" after the KBC number means "in the field" and the second line indicates Company 71.
A 3-dong stamp was used to mail this cover through the military postal service. The military-to-civilian rate during this period was seemingly in a state of flux. Covers from the latter half of 1973 may be found with stamps paying a mixture of rates from 3d to 10d without much apparent rhyme or reason. At 3-dong, this cover is on the low end of the spectrum and was probably short-paid, although it wasn't assessed postage due.
Figure 5. Airborne cover from 7th Airborne Battalion, Company 70, KBC 4919
Here's another cover from Nguyen Van Chau to Vo Thi Thu Hong in Gia Dinh. It was sent on 14 August 1974 and is franked with a 10d stamp. Rates during this period seemed to be either 10d or 25d. Probably, the official rate was raised to 25d, but not everyone was told right away.
At this point, Chau is still with the 7th Airborne Battalion, now with Company 70. In the enclosed letter, Chau writes that he wishes he could come visit Hong to celebrate her recent passing on an exam. Unfortunately, he cannot easily take leave because his unit is in the field and may be called into battle at any time. To make up for his absence, he lets her know that "with Mr. Khoa and Thuan, I just celebrated your victory with a small party with a case of beer." Click here to view the entire letter.
I've come across several more covers from KBC 4919 that are probably Airborne covers, although they don't bear any definitive Airborne markings. Click here to view these covers >
Fantasy Airborne Covers
Warning! Covers like this one are being produced in quantity in Viet-Nam to defraud collectors. Based on eyewitness information, these should be considered fantasy creations (fakes). The covers have yellow and red bands in the upper right corner and bear an Airborne (Nhay Du) insignia depicting a winged parachute and star.
Figure 6. Fake Airborne Cover
The fantasy covers I've seen are not franked with postage stamps and have a red unit handstamp from either KBC 4563, KBC 4709 or KBC 3058, although other numbers may exist. Covers have been seen with Quan Buu cancels dated between 1966 and 1972. This type of cover started appearing on the Western market in 1999 or 2000.

This laptop will go on sale in mid-October, so if you like the look of it you'll have a month to wait. It will cost around £800 putting it at the upper end of the laptop market but still cheaper than Apple Macbook with similar specifications. It comes with a choice of Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, a 750GB hard drive and 8GB of SSD.

What's different about the Samsung Series 7 Chronos?
In line with Samsung's move towards matte screens, the 700Z has a anti-reflective screen surface. This stands it apart from most other laptops on the market, in recent times a matte screen is an option that's been pretty hard to come by . The display is surrounded by a thin bezel frame which maximises screen size in the room available.
When we asked if you wanted to see a return to matte screens the majority said yes – join the debate at Which? Conversation now.
This laptop runs express cache program, according to Samsung this remembers the files that you use regularly and optimises their performance, it also speeds up boot time to just 20 seconds.
There's a AMD graphics card with 1GB of memory, so you'd expect gaming and film watching performance to be good.
What else do I need to know?
The battery is integrated and offers up to nine hours of battery life at regular usage. It also has all the connectivity options you might expect, two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0.
To connect a VGA cable, however, you'll need to plug in the supplied dongle.
In the full review…
We haven't tested the Samsung 700Z Chronos yet, but when we do you'll get the definitive verdict on the following:
- Wi-fi signal quality– unlike other review websites, we test the range, quality and reliability of every laptop's wi-fi connection.
- Real-world battery life– we don't use synthetic tests to estimate battery life, we perform real-world tests that measure battery life when using wi-fi and when watching films on DVD.
- Screen quality – we compare every laptop we test for screen quality using professional measuring equipment and a panel of expert testers that view laptops side-by-side to see which is best. We also test how easy it is to view in bright light.

It would be good if you could introduce measurements of the noise level produced by both laptops and desktop systems. Most would probably be pretty quiet when idling, but when they heat up and one or more cooling fans cut in, it can be a different story. Maybe not noticeable if you're working in a busy office, but definitely more relevant if, for example, you're using it at home late in the evening and things are otherwise peaceful.
Hi Gary, We currently do test for noise as part of our lab testing for laptops. This includes fan noise and all other noises. We usually find that most models are reasonably quiet, but there are occasionally exceptions, which we highlight in our reviews.
Hi there,
I am also interested in the fan noise. Some laptop fans now have this "burst" cooling process where they will come on in quick rapid bursts. I am not sure what the benefits are to this, but it is extremely irritating and distracting. I hate using my current laptop for work simply because of the rapid fire fan bursts. They are just impossible to get used to and it has been 2.5 years! I'd love it if the fans came on and made "continuous" noise and then shut off.
I have a question about 7 series – where are speakers located? I cant find it…
Thx for answer?
Hi Mark, good question. Unfortunately although I've seen this laptop I can't remember off the top of my head. I'll check this out at Samsung's stand at IFA and get back to you.
THx Catherine for answer. Check it on IFA and let us know ;-)
Hi Mark I was able to check this out tonight and the speakers are actually located in the hinge, similarly to the Apple Macbook Pro. No wonder they were hard to spot!
When testing for the full review, please comment on the noise levels, particularly under load. Fan noise is an annoyance, particularly in otherwise quiet environments, which is not always covered in reviews.
I am curious to know if Samsung has sufficiently dealt with the WiFi and heat issues for Series 7 that the Series 9 laptops suffered.
I can't comment on the Series 9 issues, but this laptop isn't as thin and light so the heat dissipation demands ought not be so high.
When you review it, could you pay attention to the battery life in real condition ?
Does somebody know the amount of time lost if you choose an i5 instead of an i7 ?
Please treat screen resolution as a key component of specification, up there with processor, RAM and HDD. It's more important than screen size, because it tells you how much information you can see at once rather than how big that information might be.
ADI graphics card? Is that a custom made graphic card by Samsung or just a typo for ATI?
I've been running a Samsung X460 for the last 3 years and am v disappointed that the left mouse button has now failed, and it gets really very hot. I use it all day most days and rest it on a hard flat base on my lap to ensure maximum airflow around it but the heat is BAD! I am wary about buying another Samsung although this Chronos looks perfect for my needs. Please could you test for heat under load? Surely it can't be good for its components for a laptop to consistently run so hot. (I have to use this on my lap -sitting at a desk is not an option for me). I don't want to make a big mistake buying a new laptop so this is a very important issue to me.
When is this released? I want one! Where could I source it?
I believe it's due to come out October. I imagine it will be available through all the major retailers, and plenty of on minor ones as well.
I can't wait for this laptop, seems it will suit my needs perfectly. Finally a light, yet poweful laptop that seems as if it will run all the editing programmes I use daily.
Is there a release date for the Uk yet?
On a side note I wonder how it will handle the occasional game…
Shame they are not using the NVIDIA gt series graphic card like Sony as the ATI drivers are hit & miss using my Matrix 3d cad program. We are very limited in choice so always looking for high end lapdogs at a fair price. The macbook pro is over £2 k
SO – I did just buy one of these and love everything about this…. However…
here are my complaints:
ATI switchable graphics are total garbage. Can't upgrade ATI or Intel drivers to latest, so that rules out playing any games at top speed – Specifically Battlefield 3 in my case.
I bought the Best Buy model, which comes with no backlit keyboard. Major PIA – As I came from the apple scene…
The touchpad is … meh… ok – Again, nothing compares to the macbook touch pad, but I will give a good effort thumbs up to Samsung for trying to copy every aspect of Apple on these guys.
Things like having to hold fn+f2 or other "f" keys when needing to trigger sound/brightness.
Lack of ambient sensor for lighting – This is a huge one – I hate having to manually change my brightness or create power settings/profiles. I mean, come on – It's 2011/12 and shouldn't have to be telling a laptop to lower brightness when it's pitch black in the room. Again, Apple wins here.
Other than that – few minor gripes with keyboard – But overall, the screen, speed, performance, heat, battery life, weight and size is great IMO. I am an IT guy that uses laptop all day and rigorously stresses out the laptop of choice. I have several virtual machines running and using 3d graphics all day. Just wish the ATI drivers were not bundled with Samsung's bloatware.
Hi! i would like to know where the cooling fans are located on the laptop. And also I would know which way the air is sucked in and where it is pushed out.
Hi! I'm trying to decide between this and a MBP 13″… I'd really rather a pc, but I don't like the current trend for widescreens (seems only Apple make 16:10s now:(), and the addition of the alpha numeric keyboard (which I'll never use) and then offset touchpad… I'd heard that there's a narrower version of this laptop without the extra keys on the right but am having trouble tracking it down, but you seem to have it in the picture at the top! Could you tell me what the specific model name is for this narrow version, and where one can get it? Thanks!!
At the moment Samsung is only selling the 15.6-inch version of this laptop, but as you noticed we actually saw the 14-inch version. Samsung has said when it plans to sell the 14-inch, which I agree would be a good option. I shall make a point of asking them again!
So, I bought this laptop at John Lewis.
Pros: cool design, screen quality, very soft and nice-to-the-touch keyboard
Cons: design (hard edges cutting into palms), poor speakers, clumsy mouse pad (mentioned already by someone in this forum), bad ventilation (seems that some of it is done from the bottom, so if you are putting it on couches or your knees, it can get quite hot and uncomfortable).
Some Fn+ functions are slow to respond
Verdict: cons by far outweigh the pros as far as I am concerned.
I also bought from John Lewis and it's the best laptop I've owned.
The only downside for me are the speakers, but I find this to be a complaint about many Samsung products.
For everyday use, there is very little to complain about. Great laptop.

I must admit to not liking the limbless French platforming hero's previous games, having dismissed them as sub-Mario kids' fodder with unfathomable Gallic humour. However, having just slammed a toilet door in the face of a cartoon rabbit straining to have a dump, I find myself grinning like a lobotomised audience member of The Price Is Right.
Created by Michel Ancel, the man behind the Rayman series as well as Beyond Good & Evil, Raving Rabbids sees Rayman captured by a bunch of psychotic bunnies who throw him into a gladiatorial arena and challenge him with an eclectic collection of over 70 daft but entertaining mini-games.
Expect to be disco dancing (rhythm action by tapping the left and right mouse buttons); throwing Daisy the cow (a discus-throwing sports event played by rotating the mouse 360-degrees and pressing a button to fling the startled moo-er); and saving baby Globox (a Time Crisis-style on-rails shooter with sink plungers).
Despite the odd dud game every now and again, most are decent throwaway thrashes, but I can't help thinking that this would be far more enjoyable played on the Nintendo Wii console's remote controller - which is obviously what Raving Rabbids was designed for.
On PC, the simple thrills become depressingly desk-bound, with the clunky mouse control not quite matching the wildly exuberant art style, animation and sound effects.
Raving Rabbids has multiplayer, but it's the impractical offline variety of gathering round the monitor. Ultimately, it's decent, short-lived fun, but is this really what you bought your games PC for?
A little too Wii-centric

Twitter buys an #analytics company called "Trendly". You can learn about the purchase in the following New York Times article: http://nyti.ms/cvzQzJ
How to expand your analytics knowledge: Three books that show managers how
Need a little more information on using analytics within your organization? There are three great books that I have had the pleasure of reviewing at Small Business Trends, an award winning small business blog started by editor Anita Campbell. Written by the leading experts in web analytics and business intelligence, these can help develop an organization around the timely use of analytics tools.
- Web Analytics 2.0 (Avinash Kaushik) explains how organizations can implement a web analytics mindset as well as advanced analytics reporting/analysis concerns.
- Analytics At Work (Thomas Davenport, Jeanne Harris) — focuses on analytics within an organization. Differing from their first book, Competing on Analytics, Analytics at Work is for medium sized organizations that want to incorporate business intelligence tools for operational efficiency but not as a leading advantage in a given industry.
- Yahoo Web Analytics (Dennis Mortensen) — this book is more than a how-to regarding Yahoo! Web Analytics. It's perfect for online merchants who are interested in Yahoo Web Analytics, but also advanced analytics practitioners who need additional ideas for Javascript code and segmentation analysis.
I have also reviewed other business books with Ivana Taylor, founder of DIY Marketers and the book editor for SBT. We try to review business books we genuinely like and that have great use for small business owners. A great one Ivana did is called Success Made Simple which featured perspective from Amish small businesses
Small Business Trends covers a number of great small business subjects and tips. Definitely a must follow for any small business owner.
What other business books have been a great aid to your business or outlook?

Babies Born With Heart Disease Often Harmed by Gut Bacteria
Toxins that get into blood can affect organ function in these vulnerable children, study finds
THURSDAY, Sept. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Elevated blood levels of harmful toxins from gut bacteria occur in about one in five infants and toddlers with congenital heart disease, and the risk is even higher after they have heart surgery, a new study has found.
These endotoxins -- bacterial fragments that cross into the blood from the gut -- stimulate the immune system and can impair the function of vital organs, the study authors explained.
Researchers at Imperial College London in the United Kingdom measured endotoxin levels in 40 children, aged 2 months to 46 months, who required surgery for congenital heart disease.
About 20 percent of the children had higher than normal levels of endotoxin before surgery and that increased to 27.5 percent of the children after surgery, according to the findings published online Aug. 25 in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
The researchers also found that children with high levels of endotoxins in their blood had more signs of organ dysfunction, took longer to recover from surgery, and tended to spend more time in intensive care.
Dr. Nazima Pathan, the lead author of the study from the National Heart and Lung Institute at Imperial College London, said: "The gut usually acts as a barrier that protects the body from toxins. However, our study suggests that in some babies with congenital heart disease, the gut isn't able to do this job properly. These babies are often small and undernourished, and the heart defect can mean that the blood supply to the gut is abnormal."
And, "on top of this they have to cope with the trauma of surgery and our study suggests that all these factors can affect the protective barrier function of the gut," Pathan explained in a college news release.
The researchers said they're now investigating how to protect children with congenital heart disease from these toxins.

Very new to this forum i have a really newbie questions but i have to learn some how so I'm going to ask. Up until maybe 3 days ago i could eat any meal plain no seasonings no sauces no nothing. Lately its becoming unbearable so for my chicken / rice meal I've been putting yellow mustard and hot sauce and mixing it all together. I'm not following the 1 tsp that it recommends on the back I'm putting a fair amount on. Question is this OK or will it hinder any Gaines or cause fat gain ? Like i said before i know this may sound dumb but i trying to get this diet to a T. Thanks
helpful feedback Please !

This bedroom had similar problems to the other one except the curtains are rich red, gold and beige. Sometimes the room seemed rather dark and serious and I wanted to find ways to lighten and liven the mood in there. Things I've done:
1. Moved the bed so that from it we have a view of the trees outside instead of the busy intersection to one side that used to be our morning vista.
2. Bought new white sheets to replace the intense red ones we were using – room seems much lighter and fresher now.
3. Moved the antique dresser away from in front of the window to another wall so that it's mirror now holds a reflection of the mountain. Very cool effect. How often can you bring a mountain peak into your bedroom?
4. There is now nothing in front of the window – it's just a big, open, light-entering space. Our bed faces it and every morning I get to sip my coffee in bed, stare at the trees and soak up the morning light. What bliss, what luxury :)
5. Put a plant on the dresser and have taken to keeping a vase of brightly coloured flowers there too. The flowers add a bit to our weekly expenses, but are completely worth it. They add life and vibrancy and a touch of special love for our home. They are one of my favourite improvements.
6. Took all other furniture out of the room including the bookcase. The room now feels like it is more open and much neater somehow. We also removed all technological gadgets. I couldn't believe the difference it made. It is by far the best improvement of all.
7. Put everything else away. Nothing is allowed on the floor, not even shoes. We leave them outside in the passage. Nothing is allowed on the dresser. I even put the book I'm reading away in the top drawer every night. There is NO clutter or mess WHATsoever in that room and it has made a HUGE difference. Now we just have to kep it that way :)
When I get new batteries for my camera to be able to turn it on, I will upload my own picture – this one's just a stand-in.

My Favorite Beaches in Dominica
If you happen to be looking for some different destinations for your sand and sun fix then Dominica is your island. Many confuse this little speck of land for the Dominican Republic as Dominica is rather unknown. This beautifully hidden island is near the popular French islands of Guadeloupe, Marie Galante and Les Saintes, in the Caribbean. What are some of the best beaches here you ask? Let's take a look.
First on the list is the scenic beach of Calibishie which literally translates to "nets of reef." This beach, being the only beach that is protected by a reef, feeds this little fishing village. With a lush mountain backdrop and golden sand beaches this place is impressive. Also impressive is the famous Red Rock that you will see in the distance. (The restaurant with the same name in this area is also fabulously tasty!)
Champagne Beach
A next favorite is the bubbling beaches of Champagne beach. As you can guess from the name, this amazing beach actually bubbles! Due to the volcanic nature around this beach, gas bubbles poke out the bottom of the sands making you feel like your swimming in champagne. Be sure to bring your snorkel gear so you can see the fabulous array of fish and colorful reefs. If you're into diving get ready to dive to the depths of the worlds top 5 diving spots!
Batibou Beach
If you really want a remote beach checkout Batibou Beach. Be careful getting down the very hidden and very rocky road to get here. With just a few beautiful mountainside cottages this place is one of the most private beaches on the island.
Coconut Beach
Last but certainly not least on this list is Coconut Beach. This beach has the town of Portsmouth just a stones throw behind you, and while looking out at the coconut tree covered beaches you can see the neighboring French islands of Marie Galante and Les Saintes. Since there is a medical university nearby filled with foreign students you can expect plenty of fun activities to like snorkeling, horseback riding, jet-skiing and volleyball.
Dominica offers more than just beaches though! You can come here and see a new waterfall everyday and not repeat once or experience a dip in the brown and orange colored, natural sulfur springs. The best part of this place is that is still not well-known and you feel as if you are stepping on land for the first time in some places! This hidden island packs a lot of adventure, can you handle Dominica?
