On Sunday, the ruling party won 499 of 536 seats now decided, with 11 seats still to come. ¬†That's 93%…a landslide by anyone's ¬†reckoning.
The common expectation around the table at a meeting of 'knowledgeable observers' last Friday was obviously mistaken; the existing 70-30 split was not maintained.
Did Meles' really want this extreme result.  It's hard to think otherwise.  He gave the instructions to mount an all-out effort to take as many seats as possible.  But at all costs, I can hear him saying, make sure there is no bloodshed to feed Twitter and YouTube.  Meles saw what happened in Iran last summer.
Given the results, did Meles really win the election?  He certainly won almost every seat but there was more at stake for him than that. He wants this election to be seen by the world as evidence of his legitimacy and political integrity.  He wants to be seen as a leader who was chosen by appreciative voters in recognition of his impressive economic and social achievements.
Yet this lopsided outcome is so transparently a manufactured product with a suspect relationship to public opinion that the result may ultimately not be what he wants.  The EU's chief observer commented favorably at first, responding to the absence of violence and mechanically  repeating the government's claims of a high turnout (an endlessly repeated claim in the absence of little first hand information, though it is challenged by many anecdotal reports of nearly empty polling stations).  A day later, he now says that the election 'falls short' of international standards.  In a classic European acceptance of a political fait accompli. he also said that the process wasn't bad enough to overturn the results. What he didn't say but clearly meant was, "Can I go home now?"
The US  Assistant Secretary of State for Africa, Johnnie Carson told a House panel today that "the elections there were not up to international standards".  There were no US observers this time. The Carter Center had asked in December to send an advance team to observe the crucial voter registration and campaign period as well as the voting itself. The Ethiopian government stalled until there was time only for a last minute arrival and the kind of limited effort that the EU was willing to agree to.  The Carter Center declined, perhaps remembering its shabby performance during the 2005 election, led by the former president himself.
How will the Ethiopian public see things?  The level of political sophistication in Ethiopia after living through centuries of government maneuvering is as high as anywhere in the world.  They don't have the least doubt that the deep divisions in their society could not possibly have led to this outcome.  As realists long familiar with how power operates, they certainly expected the government to win.  But a victory of such proportions may not go down as easily as 70-30 did.  It implies such great enthusiasm for a little admired leader that they might choke on it.  Whether they do, and whether it might find tangible expression, is impossible to know.
And what of the defeated…no, the humiliated…opposition? ¬†An election is supposed to be a mature, peaceful way to express dissent. When that expression is insulted in this way, with opposition leaders 'defeated' and thrown out of Parliament, how are they to react? ¬†So far they have honorably rejected calls for violence but have stated the intent to challenge the results through proper channels. Since these channels are under government control not much satisfaction is likely beyond a chance to air their grievances. ¬†That is something, at least.
Will it end here?  Or might the ill will generated by such an egregious election consolidate the fragmented opposition?  It is widely agreed that Ethiopia missed a historic opportunity in 2005, when a seriously contested election produced a real challenge to the ruling party.  Neither side was capable of letting it play out fairly.  The government locked out the poll watchers and produced the result it wanted.  The opposition claimed it had won.  The result of an honest count that year will be forever unknown, but the lesson the government learned to make sure that it wouldn't be close next time.  And that's what happened.
In practical terms, as I said a few days ago, nothing has changed.  The government was in complete control before and is still in complete control.  The difference is the aftertaste of a tainted election.

Playdate snacks?
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 07-10-2010 - 6:43am
On Monday, I'm hosting a playdate at my house for my neighborhood moms group. So far only 2 moms have responded yes and there's a few maybes. I offered to provide snacks and drinks.
Anyone have a recipe for an
|Sat, 07-10-2010 - 7:46am
Hi Christine, not really a recipe but - fruit! It's sugar free (apart from the natural fruit sugars of course), not processed, and kids like it. If you cut it into small chunks, even the little ones can have it. You could have bowls of mixed berries, and bowls with apple and banana. Other ideas would be oatcakes topped with hoummus, halved cherry tomatoes, mini sandwiches with simple flavours.
I'd keep it simple and healthy as then you're on the safe side - I know lots of mums who don't want to stuff their kids with sugar. It also depends on the time of day though I suppose.
And - when I first read the title I thought you meant snacks for the mothers ;-) When I get together with my antenatal group, we've always got delicious, sometimes home made cakes and biscuits to go with our tea; whereas the children are lucky to get a few raisins, LOL!
|Sat, 07-10-2010 - 8:17am
Thanks Anna! I didn't even think about something as simple as fruit! Actually, by "snacks" I meant for adults too. :-)
I have bottled water and soda for the adults and was going to buy some small juice boxes for the kiddies.
It's only going to be for 2 hours (10:30am-12:30pm) but I wanted to have a small selection of stuff. I'm a little nervous as this is the first time I'm having the moms at my house but I'm sure it will go just fine.
|Sat, 07-10-2010 - 8:37am
I'd say small bites / finger foods are probably easiest and most convenient; as you can never fully relax when you've got to watch what your LO is up to and might need your hands free quickly. The less cutlery/crockery involved, the better (there are only so many places high enough so that little hands can't reach them!).
Great that you've found a good group though! Are you enjoying the meet-ups?
|Sun, 07-11-2010 - 10:10pm
Anna - I am enjoying the group! I believe I'm probably the youngest mom in the group but the ladies have been so nice and welcoming to me. I ran into one of the moms at the grocery store yesterday so it's nice to know some other people in town. I also belong to my local LLL group so between the 2 groups, we keep busy with events.
Kate - Thanks for the suggestion! I love trail mix and have been wanting to make my own for awhile now.
We use an online RSVP for the meetups and there were 2 moms that said yes and 2 moms that said maybe for the playdate. Well now the 2 moms that were a yes had to cancel so I've only got 2 maybes. I decided to just cancel the playdate altogether because I didn't want to go and buy all that food and sit around when the 2 maybes might not show at all.

How To Choose a Computer That Runs The Sims 3 Smoothly (with Recommendations)
Many of you ask me on a weekly basis about my computer specifications and how I get my game to play without lagging and massive glitches. I bought this computer specifically to play The Sims 3 without any lagging issues. What I did was, I looked at the system requirements to run the game, which can be found here, and went as far above them as I possibly could within my budget. I did have a budget of $1000, I only spent $800 of that (this includes the tower, monitor, speakers, and wireless adapter) after choosing everything that I want. For example, the requirements call for at least a 2.4 GHz processor. I chose a 3.2 GHz processor. It is not the best processor in the world, but it will do the trick. Also, when it comes to processors, the two main brands that you might come across are Intel and AMD. I highly recommend an Intel processor. There is a bunch of nerdy talk that I could go into right now, but it's unnecessary because not everyone is tech savvy and would not understand the lingo that I would throw out . Just take my recommendation on that to heart. Another aspect when it comes to choosing a computer is how much RAM you have installed. The requirements call for at least 1.5GB of RAM, but I have 8GB of RAM. That is a huge difference, and I will tell you that the more RAM you have, the more expensive your computer will be. This is also true with the processor. I do recommend at least 6GB of RAM, which is a lot more common than it was when The Sims 3 first came out. I have a laptop that has 3GB of RAM and a 2.4GHz Intel processor and it still does not do the trick. All computer specifications will be available when you are purchasing a computer, whether it's online or in a store.
If you are in the market for a computer that will run the game and all of it's expansions and stuff packs smoothly, I recommend this Sony VAIO E laptop. It is the cheapest one that I've seen that has great specs to conquer games even more demanding than The Sims 3. It might be a bit pricey, but compared to how long it will last, it's worth it. There is a desktop tower that I recommend. It is the Lenovo IdeaCentre. I know what you are thinking ("What in the fuck is that?"). Well, when you purchase an HP, Dell, or Mac, a decent potion of that money is being spent on just the name of the product and not actually what comes with it. Finding a newer brand is a very cost-effective way of getting what you want. The tower mentioned has great specifications and is about $150 cheaper than a Dell or HP with the same specs.. These computes are linked to Best Buy. If this store or products are not available in your county, use this as a guide to help you find something that is. I really hope this helped. Love you all!

Thank you Quxxn it helped
will it work with a mac?
Ofcourse! it is cross platform.
Mine didn't… Be very careful with Sims vs. Macs…
first of all great LP's ;)
but when i look at them i see your game runs really wel,my game not so wel :-s and my comp schould run it wel
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1090T Processor (6 CPUs), ~3.2GHz
ATI Radeon HD 5870 1gb
normaly it would run the game very well??is it mayby possible to post your screen settings from in the game??
Nooooo :p, check ur video card !x
I have a AMD Processor and it SUCKS BALLS. My moms laptop has a Intel i5 processor and it runs great. But she wont let me keep my games on her computer. And she said my computer was more expensive than hers…. mine is a piece of junk lol. Hers is a HP and mine is a eMachine…. Just doenst make sense to me… thanks Quxxn, I might look into buying the Sony – Vaio (:
Also, whats the difference in these 2? All i see is a difference in shipping… http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=cat13504&type=page&pageIdentity=searchDriven&useProductString=true&productString=1218515263151*1218515252417&unProductString=1218515286165&catId=
This actually answered my drawback, thanks!
thank u so much
hi quxxn:)
I love your vidios Quxxn ( im not a good speller) but i love it when you make me laugh once i lauged threw a whole vidio !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U ROCK QUXXN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@quxxn im sorry about putting this on your website my qustion is —> If you were to meet one of your sims in real life who would it be Annabell or Summer?
i want to know if the sims 3 works on a acer notebook, if u don't have all the stuff requires for the sims 3, it will not miss up my laptop????? & is it totally safe to sign to be a user for youtube????
Where did you buy your computer?
Would you have gotten a faster processor if you could afford it, if so which one?
I am going to be getting a computer within the next few months and would love your feedback before I go and spend to much.
Also I have watched your videos on Youtube I like them!
Where should I buy it?
Where would you recomend? :-)
Hey Quxxn I was wondering what graphics card you have and/or reccomend? I want a really good but inexpensive one. :)
So the lenovo computer you recommended, is that the one you play the sims 3 on? And If not, how much ghz of the processor do you have?
You talk a lot in this post about processor and ram but nothing about video cards. I was wondering what kind of video card would be good for both sims 2 and 3?
I know a decent amount about computers and a lot of you ask about graphics cards…
Processor: Intel i5 or i7 though pretty much anything but Intel will work, but I highly reccomend
Graphics card: Let me just start off by saying Intel makes horrible graphics cards. The real decision is how much you want to pay. AMD is your best choice for inexpensive with good graphics, but Nvidia currently has the best graphics cards out there, however they cost a lot more then AMD.
As far as RAM and hard drive space goes the more the better.
Cool thanks! I'm getting a computer in July and I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what video card I should get.
What do you use to record your videos cuz I will start making videos with windows and I want to have the right one.
I think she uses Fraps (or maybe it's spelled Frapz) but I'm not positive.
Thanks you answered all my questions. :)
do you know any laptops that will run the sims 3 and if you do do you know the price of one hopefully cheap
So I just recently got my tax money back and I am finally able to start looking for a new laptop to play The Sims 3. Right now I have a Dell Inspiron with a pentium dual-core processor 2.0 GHz Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family graphics card and it supports 3GB of memory. I already know that under these specifications that my computer will not run the game well and that eventually the stress placed on the graphics card will cause it to break and because it is integrated it will basically total my whole computer. My main question is when looking for a laptop that is going to run the sims 3 well, with let's say…all of the expansion packs, but no stuff packs, what graphics card would I be looking for. Because some websites say that Nvidia or AMD would be better than an intel graphics card. Also in regrads to brand of computer what would you recommend? Dell, toshiba, lenovo, HP, stuff like that?
Sorry if all of these questions seem stupid, I did read the post, I just wanted to get a little more into detail about it because honestly I trust a gamer more than I trust the tech support for a name brand because they are trying to sell their shit and you (hopefully) just want to be helpful to other gamers.
i have a MacBook Pro Laptop the Small 1 and my Game Runs Perfect:D but I.D.K. how to Record i know it's not with a Cam but with Hypercam Buddy or Fraps?! what should i Download?!
I had the same problem since I have a mac and not a windows so fraps wont work. After doing some research I discovered a few and tried them out (some free versions and some full versions downloaded illegally). So far the only one that worked for me was Screenflow. The free version has a watermark and the price of buying it is way to pricey (99$!) but people that have downloaded it for free say it doesn't really work well. Hope it helped!
Hey Quxxn! Just some piece of information: the sims 3 wont work better if you have 8GB of RAM and not 3. I used to think that it did but after having serious issues with my game I asked a specialist who told me that more RAM wont really help. Since then I have asked more than one person but they all agree. I am saying this only because I think you and all the readers should know its not worth spending that much money on RAM…
I was wondering if there needed to be any upgrades for the lenovo desktop you mentioned. It seems like it'd work well, but the graphics card seems very low-end.
how do the graphics look with the laptop?
Omg..I have that Sony Vaio laptop too,and The Sims 3 runs soo smoothly on it so I recommend it too. :)♥
Hi :) Which Sony Vaio laptop do you have? Like witch version?
Thanks Quxxn, I've devised a plan! I'll get a new desktop (The Lenovo thing you mentioned) and keep my laptop for the sims 2! THANK YOU!!!!
I Know This Is A Kinda Late Comment But……..My Birthday was On June 13 And I Got ADell Inspiron Switch From My Dad. I Downloaded Content From The Sims 3 Store.Most Of it is From When I Watched Your Videos On My Kindle Fire before I got My Laptop.But I Have The Sims 3 base game And The Sims 3 Showtime. Which You Inspired me To Get. So I Was Really Dissapointed When I Read That You Didn't Like it. But Any Ways, I'm Going To e Doing An LP On Showtime and I wanted To Know what Recorder Thing do You use ? Because I'm getting A Microphone But I Dont Know What recorder To use . Is It A Download From A Website ? Because I Watched Alot Of Youtube Videos Saying That Camstudio And Hypercam Are The best. So I tried HyperCam2 and it Worked Fine But It Gave My Computer Viruses And All That Jazz. Help ! Please Reply back
Thank you so much for the info.. even though I didn't really understand some of it haha.. (i don't know very much about computers) I was just wondering though if you could answer this for me? I had been watching your videos and brought the sims 3 pets.. It was all good until when I clicked to create a family all my pets were glitched?!? My sims are perfect but I don't know what happened to the pets =[ Their jaws are on the floor and its really scary.. Have you ever had this problem before?
Em =]
I have had the same problem, and all it was was like the graphics card was sooooooo bad and stuff like that…It may be the graphics card :)
Hey Quxxn,
So Im thinking about getting a new desktop computer to specifically play the sims 3, but Im not sure whether or not to build or buy it. My goal is to have acomputer to easily run the sims 3 on max settings no problem. If I were to build it, these are the parts I would grab:
Intel Core i5-2500k Processor
EVGA GeForce GTX 560
Corsair XMS3 8GB
Asus P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB
Asus 24xDVD-RW Serial ATA Internal OEM Drive DRW-24B1ST
Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid Tower ATX Case
OC2 ModXStream Pro 700W Modular High Performance Power Supply
buy one of these 4 desktops:
Thank you!
the link to the sony vaio e laptop that you recommend is a "page not found". can you provide a new link or the product name/number of it? thanks! :)
Thanks Quxxn this really helped!!! I have a HP computer and it used to run the game really well. Now that I have Showtime on the other hand the game has gotten do many glitches it's not even funny. I have contemplated uninstalling the EP, but I love all of it's CAS items and funiture it brings to the game.
So I was wondering if it does the same thing for you. I don't get wedding gifts anymore. Like they will show up in the mail box but they won't appear in my family inventory. An oh yeah my game freezes like all the time. I know I does that for yours during your world adventures LP but I was wondering if anything else is glitching if too so I can reassure myself that this isn't only happening to me.
Thanks for your amazing help and I live your videos!!!
Which would probably make a bigger difference in running the game smoother, more ram or a better processor?
I have found a samsung RF511 1TB 2.5GHz extreme laptop 8GB of Ram, intel i5 processor…..should that do the trick???
HELP! Is this a good one? http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SYCTOProcess?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&LBomId=8198552921666453858&categoryId=8198552921644870001 With Obviously upgraded everything to a high amount.
Hi Quxxn! I love your videos :) I was just wondering does the sony thing have a cd drive??? Thanks :)
Hi! I looked at the Dell Inspiron 570 in your recommendations, but am curious if the graphics card is good. I would be willing to buy a seperate card as well, but I am unsure of which one to pick.
hey. im looking to buy a new laptop or computer for all the sims 3 expansion packs. ( i don't bother with the stuff packs)
right now i have a laptop but it lags so much when i play. i really want my graphic settings for the game high but when i do that on this laptop it crashes, lags, doesn't load everything etc..
here are the details of my current laptop :
OS – windows 7 home premium 64 bit
processor – intel B800
graphics – intel HD graphics
memory – 6GB DDR3 memory
storage – 750GB HDD
please can you recommend the best for all the sims 3 expansion packs!
Laptops basically are not to playing games, cheaper and more efficiently would be buy stationary computer.
I'm planning on buying a new laptop mostly because I want a laptop that will run the sims 3 and expansion packs smoothly without crashing/lagging. I have read the sims 3 system requirments on the official site but its just made me more confused :/ Im a huge noob when it comes these stuff so Im hoping that someone can give me a postitive answer on will the laptop linked below run the sims 3 and expansion packs smoothly ?

Whats your settings for Sims 3 gameplay or whatever its called?
Love your LP's by the way
Thank you this really helped me choose a new computer as mine is on the verge of dying. I was just wondering what Sony Vaio you meant? I was thinking this one was good and meets all the requirments you recommended however I don't quite understand the GHZ one so can you just check this over please. Thanks, love your videos :) Here is the computer; http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/sony-vaio-e-series-sve1511q1e-15-5-laptop-silver-14698976-pdt.html
I would also get a 8GB RAM too; http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/integral-pc3-10600-ddr3-pc-memory-8gb-dimm-ram-13611140-pdt.html
I use an HP Pavilon dv7 laptop with Nvidia Graphics and intel….Cost me about $1000 about 4 years ago. I love it. All my games and EP's run perfect. I have up to Supernatural with all EP's. Got it at Best Buy. Might be cheaper now =) Only issue I ever had was with overheating. I bought a cheap cooling pad and no problems since.
Hi Quxxn! Thanks so much for these tips. I'm looking to buy a comp sometime soon. (Well I'd get it sooner if I actually get a design chosen by Threadless >.<) But anyways, your tips and vids really help me out. Keep it up!
Thanks for the tips Quxxn! Although, I might add that integrated graphic cards are almost always inferior when it comes to discrete, gaming class cards. Especially if you ever plan on upgrading.
So cool! I don't have a computer that will play the sims because my computer is the oldest laptop in the world. That's why I watch your LP's that you pot on YouTube. I play the sims 3 through you. I do have it on the wii, but you can't become a vampire or anything like that on the wii. I enjoy your LP's a whole lot and thanks for inspiring me for when I hopefully be able to buy a computer to make sims just like you. And you are amazing at building houses even though you say you aren't.
Hi I am thinking about buying a computer over the next year so is this one sure enough to be a good gaming PC that can run the Sims 3 as I am turning 12 this year and can finally play the Sims. Please reply. P.S. Keep up with the good videos I really enjoy them. Thnx!
I use canyourunit.org xD
its this one:
Thanks for this. I just purchased a Lenovo Idea Center 430K for my grandson I got the top of the line, as he plays other games, not the sims. He is very happy with it, and does not get lag. He has 16GB of memory and 2TB of storage, so I think he may be set for awhile. I love the fact that they can be upgraded very easy. His friend has an Alienware and when he first took it out of the box it did not work! after about 3 replacements the computer finally worked. He has more ram but the same amount of storage and way more memory, but the Lenovo if you customize it you can get the same specs or better, a little at a time, but you still start out with a good computer that you can use.
Hello I'm on a budget love to play the sim3 game we have at least 8 of the sims3 games. The computer is freezing we tried every thing to fix it, video card is a9800 GeForce , 2GB so with that said. EA thinks it might be the hardware it's a ACER with windows 7/64 bit. Need a new desktop computer, a cheap video card and remember I'm on a budget please please help I'm getting bored with television 😰. I hope this make sense
Will they run on 6GB of RAM?? I don't have all of the expansion packs or stuff packs. Only 5 (maybe 6, if I get it for Christmas) expansion packs and 2 stuff packs, I am also not planning on getting cc. Thanks :)
I have all the expansions up to Showtime and I have a very well built computer (I'm a computer technician). The issue I that found I was having with slow loading was something I never considered when buying my hardware: my hard drive. It's a 500 GB HDD @ 5400 (from an old laptop. I needed more storage and I was low on cash. Broke college student syndrome). After switching to a 7200 RPM HDD, my issues with slow loading and lagging have all but disappeared now! I'm thinking of getting a 128GB Solid State Drive next year just for my games to run off of, just to make gameplay more fluid. It's about $110 on Newegg. Home this helped someone. <3
I love watching your lps and i might just get a Sony vaio for Christmas and i think it might have a good computer aspects as you would say but some one might have made me change my mind about the computer and its the one that's someone said they got their grandson but more likely im getting the vaio can anyone say im making a mistake?
Do dell computers work well with the sims? I had a asus computer but it broke of a accident and i wanna buy another but they are expensive so should I go with the dell or asus?
I had an Asus laptop for Xmas this year and I also got Sims 3. Sims 3 works smoothly on it so I would get Asus.

Hey, need some help here. I have loved and wanted the Sims 3 for many months until my mum finally bought me Sims 3 deluxe version via Ebay. I was only able to buy this because I had been given a 'new' laptop which was capable of running the game. It is an Acer TravelMate 5720 (specs: Intel duo core processor 2.4Ghz, 250 GB HDD, Nvidia Geforce 8400m GS 256mb, 2 GB with Windows Vista).
Anyway, its had been running Sims smoothly, with some occasional crashes, but once I bought and downloaded Showtime and Seasons, it really started to have major problems. It crashes everytime I load up the game and the laptop sometimes shuts down automatically.
I have decided to save up and buy a new laptop to play Sims 3 on but I am unsure if it is capable of running it smoothly. Here are the specs:
Intel® Core™ i3-2350M 2.3 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7470M (1 GB DDR5 dedicated)
Advice please?
I just bought a new hp laptop with windows 8. it has the new amd a10 4600m with the amd radeon 7660G graphics..and it has a hard time playing the game on low settings..it cn do it just it freezes alot for small amounts of time 2-5 sec..any reccomendation on how i should have the settings and what settings are best for a laptop like mine
AMD a10-4600m 2.3/3.2GHz

Hi there :) I have a gateway laptop (not sure if its the same as yours) and it also has 4GB. Now the laptop will run the expansions packs but gateways are VERY LAGGY, I warn you. It does freeze from time to time but if you love sims as much as I do you'll probably learn to make do. I recently just got a new hp desktop and it runs really well (not very laggy) but it sucks memory wise.
Figures :-/
Would anyone recommend this laptop: Acer Aspire 5742 15.6 inch Laptop (Intel Core i5-480M Processor, 6 GB RAM , 500 GB HDD, DVD-Super Multi DL drive, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit) if I wanted to play the sims lots of expansion packs and stuff packs and do other things would this laptop be good for that??????
I was looking at this lap top as well as the HP Envy mentioned below. Has anyone responded? Though I think the Acer Aspire V5 I was looking at had touch screen and windows 8.
hey im about to get a new computer i was thinking about getting a hp envy laptop i would like to know if this would be a good laptop for playing the sims 3 HP – ENVY 15.6″ Laptop – 8GB Memory – 750GB Hard 2.6GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz) Video Memory Up to 1664MB total Intel® HD Graphics 4000 windows 8
To those of you who are having a problem with HP laptops especially the HP compaq presario f700 because of the sound card STOP RIGHT NOW. You will not be able to fix this problem if you have tried everything and it says no sound card installed even after going through all the safe mode steps. Let me tell you how you can fix this nasty little problem that was made on purpose by HP manufacturer in order to make more money through tech support selling warranties ok? Go to amazon and buy a virtual 5.1 channel USB sound card for under $5 right now. Get it in 3-5 days and plug it in and it will work to get you sound. You wont have a speaker but you can use a $1 pair of headphones or buy a $5 speaker at Walmart. You can fix this. Dont grow any more gray hairs over this dumb problem. God knows I have. My ethernet plug in port went out, my sound card port went out and one other thing too. These are suppose to happen because of the way HP made the laptops though!! They did this on purpose. All you need is the USB sound card. Just type in the search on amazon — 3d sound card usb — . God bless you all and have fun.
Hi Quxxn!
Thanks for the info about the cheapest laptop I can buy: Sony Vaio E! Mom says that I will get this laptop in June and I can't wait!
Anyways, thanks so much for telling us about the cheapest, yet i think the best :)

My Salutations
Thank you so much! Very helpful. This is exactly what i needed to know in a very brief state.
will the sims 3 work smoothly on lenovo c320?
thank you for this info!!!! I have been frustrated and struggling with my quest for an affordable laptop that can play my sims 3 and my other games. This advice is helping me start at a good place for finding a laptop for gaming!!! Again Thank you!!! :D
Hi queen! Is it required to install 1st the base game before the sims 3 university or other versions? does it required expansion packs to buy or add more items from the sims 3 store?
This is the computer I want to save up for to play Sims3 and all expansion packs, ext. When you have time, Could you tell me if its worth getting? (=
when I play the sims 3 on my mac it keeps crashing every 30 mins to an hour can some help me please
I'm playing mine on a macbook pro, it's really getting on my nerves grrr :( I'm planning to buy a computer for playing sims 3 only. I think you should just do the same haha cuz mac isn't gonna change for us simmers :(
Hello quxxn, I was just wondering how much did you spend on your computer because I'm planning to buy the exact unit as yours if it isn't too pricey haha Thank you!:) I'm really exhausted looking for a good and reliable computer :(
Quxxn spent about $800 on hers including speakers, a tower, a monitor, and a wireless adapter. It says in the article above :)
I have an hp and in no way is it a gaming computer lol, but it does run the sims 3 very nicely for what it is lagging issue wise. Now I realize I need more memory for it which I'm working on but for some reason time to time it will say the sims 3 has stopped working and I will loose all my progress from till the last point I saved my file. I have absolutely no custom content an I have uninstalled all my expansions packs except for my latest one i own so I don't think it could be a memory problem. It's really frustrating does anyone know what the problem could be? It's a 4GB desktop if that helps in any way lol (sorry terrible with computer lingo but I'm trying to get better)
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the
video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just
posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Qxxn, I have a 4GB HP Laptop, and I'm soon getting the Pets EP. The game runs very well and I dont use much CC and I have NEVER got anything from the store. Do you think it will run like it runs now with the EP installed?
Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot about this,
such as you wrote the e-book in it or something.
I believe that you can do with some p.c. to force the message house a bit, however instead of that, that is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I will certainly be back.
Hello! I just would like to give an enormous thumbs up for
the nice data you might have here on this post. I will be coming again to your weblog
for extra soon.
Which Sony VAIO E is it? the link doesn't work anymore and I really want to get this laptop :)
Yeah, I don't know. My computer can play Crysis on Ultra, yet has stuttering problems with The Sims 3. -_-
I have a question about the Sony Vaio E
This one I found this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/VAIO+E+Series+15.5%22+Laptop+-+6GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/7840073.p?id=1218861100391&skuId=7840073&st=sony%20vaio%20e&cp=1&lp=11
Would I have to expand to 8gb because of CC and Sony Vegas?
Would it be good for video editing in addition to Sims 3?
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with AMD.. I mean really. You can't just "Not Recommend" AMD.. it's a really good budget option, and they aren't slow. In case you aren't aware, Intel sure doesn't have any 5Ghz 8 core processors, whereas AMD does. So, really.. there's nothing wrong with AMD, and you will still enjoy your games as much as the next guy.
Thanks quxxn
quick question i keep getting a blue screen when ever i run sims and my computer crashes a lot it started to happen out of the blue sorry if this is annoying but you guys just seems very tech savy which i am not any help would be wonderful
Does anyone know if the OS makes a difference? Windows 7 vs Windows 8?
I know a lot of people are having trouble with windows 8 and the sims so when I got a new computer I downgraded to windows 7 but, I got the Professional version instead of the Home Premium. Why? I was told by 2 different computer companies that Windows 8 is for tablets and touch screens and not really for gaming yet also they both told me that the operating systems were different and could be the cause of the game lagging. Windows 7 home premium takes up to 16 GB of Ram and Windows Professional takes up to 32 and Widows Ultimate can go as high as 164GB so that is just as important as components in your computer. Also sims 3 is for 32 bit systems so it would just play better on a 32 bit system so for the 64 bit which is my new computer there has to be adjustments. So that said I am guessing that the OS makes a difference.
I'm just curious, but what computer did you get and how did you downgrade to Windows 7? I've been looking for a new computer for a while but can't seem to find one that fits all of the requirements for this game.

Just curious, but how well does it play TS3? What are your setting set to?
I am in the process of getting the graphics card recognized in the game I have a NVIDIA 780 and it is too new so it needs to be put into the game graphic sgr files. I am getting help on the sims 3 site with that now.
Hi, i am 13 years old and I love the sims and my mom wants me to pay for all the things I need to play it. So I have saved up for about 1 and a half years and have gotten $217. And I had a older laptop but when I got the sims 3 and pets the pets had glitches so I would really like a new laptop but I have a $217 budget but will try to earn more!!!
Thanks :). Even though I am not going to buy one anytime soon great to know anyway :).
I have Toshiba Satellite 4GB and 2.10GHz intel core i3 and I have TS3, University, pets, seasons,generations late night and island paradise on the way :). My computer heats up like mad! But i try to keep it cool (thinking of buying heat mat thing). It runs okay smoothly ish lol Hopefully it will be alright for another couple of years. P.S. I have the computer for almost two years I think lol
Hey everyone!I just wanted to know if these features are alright to run the Sims 3 smoothly (along with expansion packs)with minimal lag/issues :
Intel Core i3-3240 processor
3.40GHz, 3MB Cache
8GB DDR3 SDRAM system memory (expandable to 16GB)
Gives you the power to handle most power-hungry applications and tons of multimedia work
1TB SATA hard drive
Store 666,000 photos, 285,000 songs or 526 hours of HD video and more
SuperMulti DVD Burner
Watch movies, and read and write CDs and DVDs in multiple formats
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN
Connect to a broadband modem with wired Ethernet or wirelessly connect to a WiFi signal or hotspot with the 802.11b/g/n connection built into your PC
Intel HD Graphics 2500
With up to 1664MB total graphics memory
Thank you in advance!
My specs are;
-2.0 GHz Intel Core i7 2630QM (2.9GHz boosted)
-2GB Nvidia GT540M Optimus graphics card
The only problem I encounter playing Sims 3 with high graphics is (actually playing every video game) is overheating. Except the problem, I'm able to run the game smoothly.
I think the problem may be your power supply, get a new one that is over 500 for that graphics card, they run about $30.00 from new egg
Guys stop saying bullshit about AMD cards and processors, they are just fine as any Intel processor, neither is better, though AMD seems to be cheaper, but anyways they are just equal, i have an AMD FX-6300 6 cores and 3.5GHz and i run it at max graphics without any lag, along with 8GB of 1600MHz DDR3 ram, i can run Skyrim with max settings (graphics of course) and Crysis 3 too so stop saying COMPLETE bullshit about AMD processors. Watch this video, and see magic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV2Voo5h3eU. INTEL fps is around 70 – 78, AMD fps is 69-76, yes there is a little weakness in AMD but let's look at the prices:
i7 = 279€
There are no bugs or lag problems or any stupid retarded problems with the AMD processors, it's only the haters saying that, AMD is just as fine as intel, and probably cheaper.
Could you please recommend a p.c that would play sims3 and around what price would I be expecting to pay many thanks I have around a£200 budget would that be enough to get 1.
I bought a pc for 600 dollars and run the sims 3 runs perfectly
hey i have a sony vaio e fit series core i5 8gb ram etc…does it really run smoothly on vaios cause im downloading the game with all the expansions and i wouldnt like any surprises since it takes sooo long to download.
thank you :)
I'm the first person posting after a year, but my computer lags like crazy when I run Sims 3 and I don't really know what to do. I cleaned folders out to make it run faster but it's still very laggylicious.
This is my computer model:
Thanks in advance for your help!
Nor does the study include cases when people facing charging bears did not
have time to use their bear spray. I would consider the

or are just revisiting it, this is one release that is
a must-own.
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the net the simplest thing to
be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that
they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail
upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

At one point or another we have all struggled to meet our financial commitments, with payday still far away not everyone has a friend or relative to turn to in times of hardship. This is where we can help, you can borrow up to £1,000 for whatever reason and pay it back at a time that suits you, the money will be in your bank account in just 15 minutes whatever time of day or night!
If you have been contacted via telephone by someone claiming to work for cashloans.co.uk please be warned it is not us, we do not make any unsolicited phone calls. We have had several reports of people being contacted and persuaded to pay an up front fee for a loan, we NEVER ask for any up front fees. If you have received such a phone call then please DO NOT make any payments, instead contact your local trading standards office and report the number you were called from.
Katherine Griffiths
Cash loans was there when I needed help paying my bills. I borrowed £1,000 and had the money in my account well within the hour. I'd highly recommend Cash Loans!
The loans we provide work in the same way as other payday lenders, when applying you can select on which date you would like to repay it, there is even the option to repay the loan early and cut down on the interest. To qualify the only things we ask are that you are over 18 years of age, are a resident of the UK and have a UK bank account
If you would like to apply simply spend 2 minutes entering your details into our easy to use application form and the cash could be in your account in just quarter of an hour.
Originally an idea born in the USA, payday loans have grown in popularity in the UK in recent years. With banks unwilling or unable to lend to the general public, companies such as ours have stepped up to fill the void. Short term loans are a great financial tool that can be used by almost anyone for any reason, how many other loan providers can say that?
Applying for a loan from us is as simple as we are legally allowed to make it, simply enter your details on just one form and sit back and wait for your money. Unlike other sites there is absolutely no need to fax anything and no phonecalls to make, everything is processed automatically and completely online.
We understand that people who use our service are looking to have the money as soon as possible, to pay an unexpected bill, to fix a broken boiler or to fill the gap before their next payday. Not everyone has the ability to borrow from friends or family so a short term loan from us is an ideal solution.
We know from experience that with this type of loan time is critical, so we have done everything possible to ensure that once an application has been accepted the cash will be with you as quickly as possible. We use a special type of bank transfer that ensures the money is sent in the quickest possible time and is ready to draw on immediately.

Lose 4 progress
Illustration for an article on teeth for an upcoming Maisonneuve issue
Steve Bissette reviews Lose #3!
http://mangarin.tumblr.com animates the last installment of Ant Comic. This was such an insane and amazing surprise to find in my Inbox:
some things:
I have a short comic in this new John Malta zine, "Universal Slime", which you can buy from his site.
Copies of Maxim's Hot 100 are/were for sale at Domino Books, printed by Mille Putois.
This Closed Captioned Comics TCAF report is really great.
Buy a subscription to Mothers News. I contribute to their monthly comics spread.
Ant Comic 19
Every second Monday
TCAF, pages, Sendak
Thanks to everyone who came out to TCAF! It was nice meeting new people. Special thanks to Derek Ballard for being the best houseguest anyone could ever ask for, and for not complaining about the fact that I made him sleep in the horrible nest of pubic hair, pita crumbs, dead ants and empty Five Hour Energy shots that is my basement apartment.
Here are some post-TCAF pages for Lose 4 and Kid Mafia 3
I did a strip based off one of the character sheets from the excellent Providence Comics Consortium for the Consortium Showcase #5.
The Providence Comics Consortium teaches comics and cartooning at Providence Community Libraries all over Providence! AND We publish work by kid's and comic artists of all stripes!
I colored the strip for fun, because that is what I am, a really fun person
TCJ.com has a page full of very thoughtful and touching tributes to Maurice Sendak. This was my contribution to the page:
Also: The mysterious (?) Alex Degen (Area CC) draws Abbey Loafer.
I now have a Tumblr just for "Purple Music."
And Nobrow 7 is coming out soon. I have a few pages in it.
I'll be attending the Toronto Comics Art Festival this weekend at the Koyama Press table!
Debuting at my table will be Kid Mafia #2 and Horrible #1, collecting the web comic I drew for the Study Group website and featuring brand new horror stories from Patrick Kyle, Zach Worton and Chris Kuzma, plus some bonus material.
Risographed prints of my Doug Wright poster will also be available (either at my table or somewhere else at the fest, I'm not sure.) And I'm doing up a few more prints today that I'll be selling for a buck or two each, also.
Some anthologies I've contributed to that aren't debuting but are still, like, "new" to the show include Rat Hex (which I think I'll be selling at my table) and Sundays #5. Is Incinerator still "new"? I'll have some of those for sale, too. And some sheets of Stinckers.
I'll also be selling a stack of zines from Mickey Z, who unfortunately won't be attending the show this year.
On Saturday, I'll be talking at this massive Adventure Time panel at the Marriot Bloor:
3:15 – 5:00 – The Adventure Time Mega-Panel!
Who doesn't love adventures? TCAF presents: Adventure Time creators doing what they do best: making crazy-delightful comics about the series they work on. Don't miss this fun-filled live drawing session, accompanied by Q&A and general discussion. With Pendleton Ward, Ryan North, Bob Flynn, Andy Ristiano, Michael DeForge, Steve Wolfhard, and Jesse Moynihan
TCAF is this Saturday and Sunday at the Toronto Reference Library.

text: This month, Germany and the rest of Europe celebrate the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, perhaps the most symbolic moment of the collapse of the communist regimes in Eastern Europe. This event had colossal repercussions for the economic development of the region but also, and maybe less obviously, on its demography. Following the collapse of the Communist regimes, fertility in Eastern Europe went into a sharp decline (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe 2000).

No thanks. I would rather build em' myself. I guess for those who don't feel like me it's an ok deal.
It's an okay deal for those who want thew joys of PC gaming without the complication of PC construction. I'm never going to buy one of these things myself, but from what I can tell it seems like an alright deal for a select crowd. I wish they would have stuck a more powerful GPU to go with that i7 though, that would make me less disappointed.
Too bad alien ware are for dumb people.
I'm with Warren on this. Sure the parts you're getting are quality, but you're overpaying in cosmetics. You can get way better specs on a gaming tower/laptop at a lower price/same price as they're selling their products for.
I don't think I'd ever buy a gaming tower/laptop from them. In most cases Asus gives better specs for your buck and you get decent cosmetics.

Gossip Girl Spoilers: Nate & Jenny, Serena & Aaronby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Below are some Gossip Girl spoilers and news items from E! Online's Kristin Dos Santos today (although the Jenny item was sort of revealed last night). See what she has to say about the kiss everyone's talking about ...
Q: What is the deal with the photo of little Jenny kissing Nate on Gossip Girl?! Is she stealing everything from Blair? Are they actually a couple?
A: You must be talking about the photo below. I will say this, it looks like Jenny has the most outrageous storyline of everyone coming up.
Q: What's the deal with Jenny and Nate?
A: It's on! Duh. That photo is no joke. And I can tell you that Jenny is growing up in more ways than one this year. It looks like she really might be dropping out of school to start a big, fancy career! What will Rufus say?
Q: How about a little Gossip Girl gossip?
A: Oh, twist my arm! I love that show, and I'm hearing that episodes 6-10 are amazing. The sixth episode is where Serena and Blair go to Yale and get in a physical catfight. Is it sad that I'm looking forward to this more than any other TV event right now? Also, Serena really starts falling for new character Aaron Rose, the artist whom she knew when she was younger. Looks like S is most definitely into creative types.

Those in power may not like it when athletes speak their minds about various political issues (marriage equality, labor disputes, or what have you). But they sure don't mind using the influence of say, owning an NFL football team, to promote their own personal political agenda.
Recently the Cleveland Browns, which have one of the more devout fan bases in the league (despite the fact that they haven't been good since the 1980s teams of Ernest Byner and Kevin Mack), were bought by new owner Jim (Jimmy) Haslam III. A day or so later, Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Paul Ryan and Former President George W. Bush's Secretary of State (and "lifelong Cleveland fan") Condoleeza Rice made a "surprise" appearance at the Browns practice facility (where Ryan now famously mixed up backup quarterback Colt McCoy for starter Brandon Weeden).
(Click here to see the Cleveland Browns video of the visit.)
But of course, the appearance wasn't a "surprise" at all, especially given Ohio's important swing-state status in our Electoral College-slanted "democratic" election (where the votes of individuals in some states are more important than the votes of individuals in other states - but that's another topic for another post for another day), and the Haslam family's history as well-endowed supporters of Republican politicians.
Haslam, who at #396 barely cracks the Forbes 400, has a net worth of $1.2 billion. "He gets most of his fortune from his 35% share of his family's 59% stake in Pilot," Forbes reports. "His father, who founded the retailer in 1958, has a much smaller stake, having given away most of his shares to other family members, including his younger son and Tennessee governor Bill."
No longer running the family business (Pilot Flying J truck stops, which Forbes calls "one of the country's biggest privately held companies"), Haslam's father, Jim Haslam II, is now the Romney campaign's co-chairman for their home state of Tennessee.
Haslam, the newly minted Browns owner, is also an active supporter of Romney (and Ryan), and in the past has financially supported Lindsey Graham, John McCain, George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, and others.
All of which is fine, of course. Owners, like players or fans or anyone, are free to support whomever they want. But they should afford the same privileges to their players that they assume for themselves.
Sports and politics are enthusiastically mixed all the time. We may as well stop pretending otherwise.

Spot wholesale electricity gained in New England after a Vermont nuclear reactor reduced output.
Entergy Corp. (ETR) cut generation at its Vermont Yankee plant, about 80 miles (129 kilometers) northwest of Boston, to 29 percent of capacity from full power yesterday, Nuclear Regulatory Commission data show. The unit's nameplate capacity is 563 megawatts, according to the Energy Information Administration.
An unusually cold start to the day lifted demand above previous-day levels, ISO New England Inc.'s website showed. The low in Boston dropped to 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 Celsius), 7 below the seasonal average, according to AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania.
"That lack of baseload generation is causing stronger morning prices than yesterday," said Jesse Fitzmaurice, a Boston-based analyst with Genscape Inc., which tracks real-time power data. "Demand is also a bit stronger this morning than yesterday, we saw mid 30s to upper 40s across some parts of the Northeast that may have prompted some heating load."
Spot prices for Boston rose $6.65, or 24 percent, to average $34.58 a megawatt-hour during the hour ended at 11 a.m. from the same time yesterday, grid data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Boston on-peak power traded at a premium of $6.08 to New York City prices versus a discount of $3.41 yesterday. New York prices in the 10 a.m. hour were little changed, down 64 cents, or 2.1 percent, at $29.52.
Power consumption on the six-state grid stretching from Maine to Connecticut was 14,735 megawatts at 11:30 a.m., down 0.9 percent from the same hour yesterday, ISO New England Inc.'s website showed.

Sorry but i don´t see the point of exaggerating while blaming Easy for something they havn´t released yet, it´s far from being constructive. It´s minor spamming and unsuccessful trolling, his argumentation is more than flawed which i just wanted to point out with some sarcasm which was still an argument.

Well i completely understand the negative feelings here...
Wewere all waiting for customisation, and then it came. Everybody excited and happy... till they logged in and found that all their guns were nerfed to ****. So I hope they will do it bettter this time, and I actually have good hopes for this project.
What I want to add to this is that I hope that nothing we currently have is taken away from us. For example: currently we can train running in the skill tree. This got to be trainable, and not only achievable by buying chlothing add-ons.
So this can be good, and it can be bad.

I seem to remember a few months ago Devs talking in the forums about discussions they were having about removing skills from the Tiers
Also there was talk of a discussion to make clothing available for credits .......................
Now stop me if I'm wrong but doesn't this sound a lot like Dec 01 again - get your guns for credits now because you have to buy their stats back with funds, now becomes get your clothing for credits because you can't use the new funds only attachments on items you don't own (not new attachments actually but recycled skills taken out of the skills tree)
Seems to explain all the sales on training points, just as they are about to becomes worthless
What happened to rebalancing the weapons that are not performing well in the new customisation, shouldn't you fix the mess you made Dec01 and Dec 20 before you add another new 'booster' range to the game
Can't we get to a point where the game works before you try to break it again in the name of more profit
14-04-2012, 01:34 AM | Post: #74[NwT]HopeNSpray
How bout we fix the bugs,invent a new game mode,add something to promote teamplay and fix the boosters.This is whats needed right now not more customization,we all know how that goes already >_> Just another scam in my eyes to get more money,Nerf our guns then add attachments,give us new uniforms so that we would want to by apparell,now they want to mess with our accesorries

Question for the blues: does this mean my perm extra mags are useless now? Or do those get 'reassigned' to clothing slots? Or simply i can get MORE extra mags?
can we have extra mags on clothing combined with say, viper mags?

I really hope we won't have some clothing items being BETTER than others, in the same slot. That would make customization very restricting, and would promote an "Ultimate" build sort of thing.
Also: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE nothing that reduces headshot damage. Recons have enough trouble as is, getting headshots that are 1 point in damage too weak. You already have 110 HP players. Lets not spread the issue even further.

Full Circle is the Stick 'Em Magnet Kitchen Towel. This bamboo and organic cotton towel has a strong magnet that sticks to your fridge or oven. The towel is rather plush and the magnet holds to surfaces. My towel hangs on my fridge and I haven't had any instances of it slipping or falling off. In fact, my kids have flung the towel from across the room towards the fridge and it sticks every time. I personally like the primarily green color it comes in but think it would be super if there were more colors and patters available to match people's kitchen decor.
Two people will each win a Crystal Clear Glass Cleaner, a Ring Vegetable Brush, and a Come Clean Natural Cleaning Set.

Floor care maker Panasonic introduced its new upright, bagless vacuum, the Panasonic MC-V7720.
The new vacuum features an infrared dirt sensor and automatic Power-On-Demand technology, that is said to sense how much dust and dirt is being picked up and will automatically adjust suction power accordingly. Panasonic says users can choose the Power-On-Demand feature to automatically deliver the most efficient level of suction power needed or select from three manual power levels to clean of carpets and rugs, bare floor surfaces, upholstery, drapes or stairs.
"Panasonic's new bagless vacuum cleaner not only allows users to vacuum 'smart', but is amazingly quiet for a vacuum this powerful," says William Soderberg, national marketing manager for Panasonic.
According to Panasonic, the vacuum features a large-capacity, removable dust container and a HEPA filter in addition to an on-board tool caddy that holds a dusting brush, floor brush, crevice tool and air-powered turbine brush. The unit also comes with a stretch hose, telescoping wands that reach up to 17 feet and a 30-foot power cord.
The MC-V7720 vacuum cleaner has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of U.S. $299.95.
