Very well placed to see the city, good sized room with bathroom as shown on website, breakfast buffet to help yourself, and reasonably priced. Owners friendly and helpful and told us where to park for free.

Our room was maintained beautifully but the city's local refuse collectors (like all over Italy with few exceptions) seemed to pride themselves in making as much din as possible. That was not a welcoming event when it begins in the early hours of the morning. The old town is delightful and the owners of our apartment were kind and helpful. Graffiti is a problem that Senor Berlosconi needs to address all over Italy. These clowns had even spoiled the hoardings announcing the improvements being made to the very prestigious - though hugely expensive - Hotel Grotta Palazzesi The apartment price was more expensive that some four star hotels we have stayed in so we do think the city needs to address the noise and graffiti problems. The public entertainments offered in the week we were there were excellent. A warning though - this is not a holiday destination for those who like beach holidays. The 'beach' is very limited and stony and difficult to access unless one is young and fit and prepare to walk a distance. The area, especially the coastal grottos, is extraordinarily beautiful.

At this time I stayed at Sottanto room which is a basement apartment in the heart of the city with a well equipped kitchen. Bathroom is small but clean but shower was uncomfortable. Breakfast is 3 mins walk on a sunny terrace, it is delicious: fruits, salami, cheese, cakes, breads, butter, yoghurt, coffee, tee, etc. There is a free public parking area - 5 mins walking from the property - at the Domenico Modugno statue where u can leave your car. I recommend this apartment in case u dont mind there is no window.

Frontier School of Midwifery and Family Nursing-FNP Program - page 6
Hi all, I am thinking about applying to Frontier for the FNP Program. While I have read and heard great things about the midwifery program, I haven't heard much about the FNP Program. I would appreciate any feedback from... Read More
- 0Dec 19, '09 by oldnightnurseQuote from ms_sheeshHey ms_sheesh and Sugah Britches, I've been really busy and haven't had a chance to come back here to post. I got my acceptance email so I'll be joining y'all in Hyden in February. I've been doing the happy dance since I found out! Fingers & toes still crossed for everybody else waiting...oldnightnurse,
I wouldn't fret. I believe they notify students based on programs. It is possible that they haven't started to notify accepted students into the CNM or WHNP programs yet. I don't think a phone call would harm anyone. Good luck to you and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too.
- 0Dec 19, '09 by oldnightnurseQuote from SugarcomaSugarcoma, you are correct. This is probably the page you read: http://www.midwives.org/academics.asp?id=162&pid=56. About halfway down the page it states "The Master of Science in Nursing degree will be granted upon completion of all remaining coursework in the clinical specialty track. No Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is awarded as part of the Bridge entry option."Hello, I am also considering Frontier's ADN-MSN program and have a question. There website says they do not confer a Bachelor's degree for the bridge program. Does this mean you go straight to MSN and do not receive a Bachelors degree at all?
I wish that I had known about that option before I started the RN to BSN program that I finished in August. I sure wouldn't have borrowed $25k for that degree! Oh well, it is what it is. It brought me to where I am, and I am thankful! Good luck with whatever you decide.
- 0Dec 21, '09 by EquuszRNI'm also thinking of applying to the ADN-MSN bridge. I hope to be licensed in March and apply to the April bridge deadline. Do any of you think that they would accept 18 years paramedic experience as the "significant other healthcare experience" they say they will consider in lieu of the one-year experience requirement? I emailed them about it but would like to hear from people who have been accepted.
Also, do you know if they have any problem with Excelsior grads?
- 0Jan 2, '10 by studentnurserachelQuote from EquuszIs Excelsior accredited by CCNE or NLNAC? If so, that should not bar you from the bridge program.I'm also thinking of applying to the ADN-MSN bridge. I hope to be licensed in March and apply to the April bridge deadline.

I just want to add here, to echo what others have said, I think Frontier is amazing. I am a former bridge student, now FNP class 63 (you stop being "bridge" after you finish your bridge year). It has been an amazing experience so far, although certainly challenging. Going to Hyden for Frontier Bound was one of the best experiences of my life, something I never would have anticipated for grad school. I can't wait to finish (in about 17 months!) but will really miss the experience.
Please feel free to PM me with specific questions about Frontier or the Bridge program!
- 0Jan 4, '10 by blueindigo79Hi, i posted this on the main board but thought i could post it here as well:
I'm thinking about applying to Frontier's FNP program and was wondering about clinicals. Are you completely on your own to find clinical placements or do they help somewhat? for students in the FNP program there, is it hard to find clinical placements?
Thanks! "
- 0Jan 22, '10 by TxNurseRNHi to all Frontier folks. I have been eye-balling this program from the time I was in my ADN program. The more I learn about it, the more convinced I am that this is the program for me. I am especially impressed with their focus on community and rural health, which is right up my alley in rural Texas.
My question is this: Would anyone who has been accepted to the FNP program mind disclosing their GPA? It has been said in the past that all who meet the minimum requirements are accepted, but I think that this program is getting more popular, and thus more competative. I meet the minimum requirements (2 yrs nursing in ER, 3.25 GPA and good reccomendations), but I am just curious about the acceptance statistics from recent classes. Also, I understand that students can opt out of having Pelvic exams performed on themselves during Frontier Bound. I hope that this is true. I realize that it is just another body part, but this is just a little too close for comfort for my taste and makes me uncomfortable. Any thoughts?
Thankd for any and all responses. I value the input of current students!
Laurie, R.N.
Cove, Tx
- 0Jan 22, '10 by EquuszRNThe pelvic exams are only for the midwifery program, not the FNP. And yes, they can opt out.
I talked to them on the phone and they were very responsive. While they won't say that they accept everyone who meets the minimums, I got the impression that most get accepted, just maybe to a later class. The one thing she told me was that the ADN-FNP bridge is getting really competitive and they only do 4 enrollments a year as opposed to 8 enrollments for the BSN-FNP, so they are going strictly by the one-year experience requirement, which I don't meet. She told me that I should use that year to finish my BSN (which I can through Excelsior), and then apply to the BSN-FNP with almost sure acceptance. Sounds like you meet the experience requirement so I bet you'd get in, but it might be later in the year than you want.
You should call them and talk to them, they're very easy to get ahold of.

Incoming Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau told the executive committee of the Minneapolis City Council on Wednesday that she is proposing to create six new commander positions to head divisions within the police department.
The commanders would not be represented by the Minneapolis Police Federation.
Six current captain positions, which are covered by the union, would be abolished under the plan, said Timothy Giles, director of employee services. He indicated that the federation had agreed to the proposal, but said some details still had to be negotiated.
The commanders would oversee divisions devoted to special operations, criminal investigations, the crime lab, administrative services and juvenile, Harteau said. Harteau has told the Star Tribune she will also be proposing to create a sixth division responsible for officer training, one of her priorities for the department.The commanders would report to the department's deputy chiefs.
Mayor R. T. Rybak, a member of the executive committee, said he supported Harteau's proposal. City Council Member Elizabeth Glidden said she wanted to see more details in terms of organization and financial implications.
On her motion, the executive committee sent the proposal on to the council's ways and means committee without recommendation.

Control your smartphone with taps of your wrist
Although, Isaac Asimov didn't predict it, 2014 is looking like it might be the year of wearable technology. Soon we won't even need smartphones, because we'll be be wearing smart watches or smart glasses instead). Until that time arrives, though, there's Haloband, which allows you to control your smartphone via a tap on your wrist.
To use Haloband, you download its app to your smartphone, and your Haloband connects to it via NFC. Once connected, a series of taps sends instructions to your phone to do things like take a photo, send your current location, or even call the first person in your contacts list. The band doesn't need a battery, so there's no need to worry about power. It's highly customizable, allowing you to set up how taps function and what they tell your phone to do.
One of Haloband's most useful functions, though, might be unlocking your smartphone. Just tap your phone against the band to unlock, no password required. Other functions include switching songs on your music player, checking in to social media, and sharing your contact information (no business card required). The band itself, which comes in a variety of colors, resembles those "Live Strong" bracelets that were so popular a year ago. A layer of flexible silicone protects three layers of NFC chips underneath.
Although Haloband's Kickstarter goal has already been met (three times over), you can still get a Haloband for just $25 and have it next month. Be sure to donate quickly, though: this Kickstarter ends soon.

The day I've been training for for the past four weeks started with a whimper and ended with a bang!
I had an early PT appt today. Usually I do PT in the afternoon after my water work. But today, the Inaugural National Day of Running, it just had to be different. The primary therapist took me through a series of exercises that had me moaning and groaning; however, she did say my range of motion and leg strengh has improved. So, that was enough to send me to the pool in great spirits ready to run.
Which is exactly what I did. I ran 5K at the end of the water aerobics class with the encouragement and cheering on of my fellow seniors in the pool. A couple even ran with me a few laps.
Now that the run is done, I have a new goal to increase my stamina and shoot for 10K!
I'm thinking of an old gospel song my mother used to sing; "No, no, no! I'm not tired yet!" You'd think that after 30 days of intense workouts and challenges I would be ready for a rest. But, no, I decided to follow in the footsteps of one of my Boot Camp teammates.
I was reading the final posts of the boot camp members and ran across a post that mentioned a team that is devoted to fitness challenges. I went to the site, checked out the forums, and decided to join.
The Quick Fire Challenge Team's fitness challenge for today was to do 100 pushups in four or five sets of 20 or 25 throughout the day. I amazed myself by meeting the challenge and look forward to tomorrows.
Four Weeks of intense quick workouts and stimulating challenges and the Sweatsuit - Swimsuit Boot Camp made an athlete out of me. I may be a long way from meeting my weight-loss goal, and don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the 24 pounds and 2 dress sizes I've lost; just the same, I now consider myself -
"a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina." (Merriam-Webster) -
When I made the decision to do the boot camp I truly believed that I would become stronger and have more stamina and flexibility. I just didn't know how much I would enjoy the process. Oh yes, I've got sore muscles and I may not have the cleanest house on the block, I've learned so much in four shourt weeks.
I've learned that I can get results in a quick, intense workout using the Spark Videos. I also learned that I can start with a milder version of an exercise; and, with repetition of the same exercise, develop an ability to advance, doing the exercise with more strength and intensity.
The most important lesson that I believe I have learned is that being an athlete is knowing that by consistently challenging myself physically, and mentaly, my emotional and spiritual well-being prospers. My faith that I can do what is required is stronger and my joy is increased when I have met a physical challenge by pushing through the mental roadblocks of doubt, frustration, and fear.
Boot Camp has given me the tools I need to continue to grow as an athlete.
For the past couple of weeks or so I've been going to the pool 30-45 minutes before my water aerobics class so I can get in some water jogging. PT advises me not to do any land running yet, but I really want to participate in the Inaugeral National Running Day on Wednesday, June 3. After reading a Spark article on preparing to run the 5K (Spark Your Way to a 5k), and some calculations with the Y's the aquatic director, I set out to consistently run for at least 25 minutes in the pool. We figured this would be a little over 3 miles or 5K.
Well, Saturday I did 25 minutes, yesterday (Tue) 30 minutes; and today 30 minutes. All without feeling like I needed CPR when I was done. So, if I can keep this up I should be ready next Wednesday to participate with the rest of the country in support of running to live healthy, happy, heart strong lives.
For more info here's the link:
My whole body is feeling the burn tonight. The boot camp workout focused on my upper body. Physical Therapy focused on my lower body. Water aerobics and water jogging worked me from head to toe. So, I am really feeling it today.
I hope I'm not coming across as a whinner. I'm really pleased with myself for being so physically active to be feeling sore. I've waited a long time to be able to get in shape and now that I'm doing it I FEEL GREAT!

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners
By Kyle Munzenrieder
Printz had been conducting this type of live-in affair on and off for more than six years. His long-time lover's name was Skunk #1 x Northern Lights #5, a potent, high-yielding hybrid that combined Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, the two species of marijuana most commonly found in the United States. As with all of Printz's previous indoor growing operations, every plant -- from the towering "mother" in the closet to the infant and young adult "clones" in the office and bedroom -- was female, and a virgin.
The plants were lovingly cultivated using the sinsemilla technique, which involves using cuttings, or clones, from a mother plant, allowing them to grow roots, then helping them ripen into mature, unfertilized females that in their sexual frustration will generate prodigious amounts of sticky resin on their buds. The resin is intended to catch the pollen from a male marijuana plant; it also happens to contain large amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol -- or THC, marijuana's psychoactive ingredient.
Inside the tree-shrouded house, Printz nurtured his unspoiled harem with an efficient, fairly high-tech hydroponic setup. Eight 40-inch trays and one 25-gallon reservoir were arrayed in each of the two bedrooms, with pumps to drip-irrigate the roots of the thriving clones. Whatever amount of nutrient-enhanced water the roots did not absorb was collected in the trays, returned to the reservoir, and recirculated. Above the trays 1000-watt high-pressure sodium lamps on moving tracks provided simulated sunlight, and perforated tubes periodically released carbon dioxide to enhance photosynthesis.
"I loved what I was doing, I loved spending an hour or two in the rooms, keeping them really clean and looking at the plants. It was a very enjoyable thing," Printz reminisces in a broad Long Island brogue. The plants, he says, reciprocated his devotion, offering up their flowers every 55 days, supplementing his income bigtime. Allowing for his own (admittedly vast) consumption and giving a lot away, an average crop grossed about $16,000 on the black market -- the only market that exists for pot, of course. An initial investment of $4000 or so in equipment purchased from local hydroponic-supply houses had been paid for many times over.
But when he speaks of this time, now some two years past, Printz doesn't dwell on the money. It's the growing itself that fills his thoughts, from the mechanics of installation -- ripping up the carpet and painting the walls and floors white so "everything looked professional, like right out of the pages of High Times magazine" -- down to the tiniest detail of the grow house -- the pH level of the water, the brand names of the nutrient fluid and cloning solution he used, the correct parts-per-million level for the CO2. And the fact that everything he gave the herb, it returned to him.
Marijuana is a faithful mistress. People, though, are fickle.
"You can see the different stages," says Lt. Juan Garcia of the Miami Police Department's Special Investigations Section, opening a three-ring binder on the desk in his cramped but tidy office and leafing through the plastic-sheathed crime-scene photos from a truly impressive hydroponic marijuana grow house.
Indeed, the color photos illustrate the entire cannabis growth cycle with textbook clarity. The infant plants reside in a solidly built homemade humidity dome under fluorescent lights. Adolescent plants have been transplanted into five-gallon paint buckets. What once were the house's bedrooms now hold tall, mature plants -- replete with their precious, resinous buds -- ensconced in long rows of PVC pipe, which circulates the nutrient-enhanced water that feeds their soilless roots. The closets are full of cut plants, hung upside down from wire racks to dry, bristling with buds that can fetch anywhere from $2000 to $5000 per pound.
"Here's a shot of the root system," continues Garcia, who has been investigating narcotics for nine of his fifteen years on the force. The young plant in the photo is growing out of a bucket that's covered with a black plastic lid and equipped with a drip-irrigation pipe slightly larger in diameter than a swizzle stick. An officer has lifted the lid, exposing the plastic basket containing rock wool, a spun-fiberglass material through which the pale roots of the plant twist like the tentacles of a Portuguese man-of-war.
Another picture, a closeup of the buds. "Here's what I was telling you about -- you can see the crystals on there," Garcia says, his voice measured and matter-of-fact yet not without a hint of admiration. "It almost looks like snow."
The next image shows an empty grow room with eight long PVC pipes with holes cut on top to give the impression of giant reed flutes extending across the floor. The lieutenant with the meticulously trimmed moustache and the immaculate office points to minute details in the photo. "Look at that ductwork," he marvels. "The room was self-contained -- the doors leading out of the house were sealed. This is one of the nicest ones I've ever seen."

Cannot fix Missing BootMngr error
I have a new laptop (refurbished) that came with win7. When I initially started the machine it went through the install process, and finished with burning 4 recovery disks. All good at this stage.
I then installed Linux as a dual boot and again all was well. Both OS's booted fine.
I then (stupidly) resized the C:\ partition and on next boot got the "BootMngr" missing error.
I decided to use the 4 discs expecting a menu to repair or recover -instead it went straight into a recovery install procedure. So the first thing was it warned me that the entire disk would be repartitioned resulting in loss of data etc. No problems I had already cleared what I needed.
It seemed to install OK, but when I tried to boot, I just got a black screen and blinking cursor.
I reinstalled Linux and tried to reboot. This time the windows OS had been found, and I chose Windows, this was when I got the BootMngr missing error.
I searched the net and found a number of fixes involving using an installation CD (which a friend loaned me) using this I was able to get to the"repair computer" part and went into the command line to copy the bootmngr file to the correct place. c:\ from the disc. But it couldn't find it. I then realised that the file was on the D:\ disc and I successfully copied it to the C:\ but same error came again.
I have tried changing to the Boot directory in D:\ and using bootrec/fixboot and bootrec/rebuild bcd but all to no avail.
Anyone know how to fix this so that I can get into my windows system again?
Is there a way to make a Windows"Live" CD so that I can see the system without mounting the partitions?

Error 0xc0000225 on boot
|My System Specs
|16 Dec 2011
You misunderstood my post. I have no intention of removing Linux, I just want Windows to be available to boot. I find it quite amazing that the 4 "recovery" discs do not place the bootmngr in the MBR which is where it should be placed.
The question was how do I reset the bootmngr file to the correct place ie ion the MBR.
|My System Specs
|16 Dec 2011
Run Factory Recovery from its partition at boot which is the most stable method. Use the disks as backup only.
Please fill in your System specs in the bottom left corner of post so we can help you better since you don't even mention your make/model.
The best method to add Linux is here: Dual boot Ubuntu-Win7. This keeps GRUB off the Win7 partition which can be corrupted easily by it.
|My System Specs
|17 Dec 2011
Maybe I should have not mentioned the dual boot as this seems to be confusing things.
Even when I completely got rid of everything, made one blank partition and then used the recovery discs, the bootmngr was still placed in the wrong place. Copying it from D: to C: made no difference.
The issue is- after using the 4 discs I am left with an unbootable system.
How can I
Run Factory Recovery from its partition at boot which is the most stable method
Can I get a disc that will allow me to boot and then carry out whatever changes I need to in order to get the Win 7 bootmngr to work correctly?

Maybe I should have not mentioned the dual boot as this seems to be confusing things.
All Linux code must be deleted using the CLEAN ALL command.As you have had linux on the HD you need do a Clean all & full format.
Type in command line
SELECT DISK # (win HD)
FORMAT fs=NTFS
SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Than Run Factory Recovery from Recovery DVD's.
|My System Specs
|17 Dec 2011
Yes, you need to clean the boot sector using Diskpart Clean or Clean All Command. Clean All takes about an hour per 320 gb.
|My System Specs
|17 Dec 2011
OK now that is clear, it sounds reasonable. I will let you know what happens. Thanks
So here am a full 12 hours of loading reloading and cleaning and sweeping and nada. This is the story. I followed the instructions completely with the exception of doing a "clean" before the "Clean all" command (apparantly that clears the MBR as well) 2.5 hrs it takes to write all the little zero's to my 600 gig disc. Then I went through the install process using the created ASUS image recovery discs that I burned on initial install. All went well.I rebooted -- black screen flashing cursor.
Using my Linux live CD I was able to examine the file and partition structure, yup, there is the 21.49 gig Recovery partition, the NTFS Win C: partition and the NTFS Win D: partition complete with files galore. But no Bootmngr in the correct place.
2nd try - went through the entire process again but this time used the single Win7 install DVD that my mate lent me. All went well It booted -- yahoo -- until it got to the product key window.
Carefully copying the key on the bottom of my laptop, I clicked enter and it told me that it did not fit the windows SKU. and there it stayed.
I tried the whole process again and this time after entering the key and getting the same answer I turned the machine over and photographed the key to make sure my eyes were not seeing things. When I turned it back over it had advanced to a new window? go figure. So when it finally loaded up, I looked for my programs and found that I only had a base install- none of my preloaded programs. Thats no good at all.
So back I go the drawing board. It seems that the ASUS discs will recover the image, and reload all the factory settings, but puts the bootmngr on the D rather than the C drive (or apparently the MBR)
Contrary to all these issues, I load up the single DVD OpenSuse 12.1 Linux disc and in 20 minutes have a fully functional system including on the boot menu an entry saying "Windows 7" (Seems Linux can find the windows system OK)
Clicking that entry results in "Bootmngr missing press cntr-alt-del"
I hate having a computer beat me, but in this instance it seems that neither the ASUS recovery discs nor the Windows 7 DVD can effectively recover a damaged windows 7 system.
I remain hopeful that someone could suggest something that might work -- like the correct way to copy the bootmngr of windows onto the C: drive and have the system see it.
Too hard? I wait and see. Is there anyone up to the challenge. (By the way I have lost count of the number of threads on the net started over the last 3 yrs on this exact problem, and still MS does not fix the issue!)
|My System Specs
|05 Jan 2012
Well there you go -- two weeks and not one suggestion. Not a wonder more and more people are switching over to Linux. So now I will leave as is, and maybe later have another look, just for fun's sake.
|My System Specs
|05 Jan 2012
If you clean reinstall Win7 with the disks, why would you expect your programs to still be there?
What you need - and I'm sorry it was not mentioned earlier but we were under the impression you wanted to run Factory Recovery - is to run Startup Repair repeatedly from the System Recovery Options.
A problem can be that if GRUB is on the HD it may corrupt Win7 beyond repair until GRUB is wiped completely. This is the point Theog was trying to make.
If Startup Repair can't get any traction after several attempts, make sure Win7 or it's 100mb System Reserved partition (preferred) are marked Active, then run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times to repair/rewrite the System boot files to the boot partiton or Win7 partition itself. If one fails, try the other.
You can use free Partition Wizard bootable CD to Modify>Set to Active, then click on the Disk number to highlight it, from Disk tab select Rebuild MBR which can preclude the need to run the Repairs.

Martin Jol has dismissed as 'speculation' reports that he is looking to take Trabzonspor striker Burak Yilmaz to Fulham in the summer.

Bet £5 Get £20 Free
The Cottagers' chief is keen on bolstering his attacking options at the end of this season and in addition to trying to make on-loan striker Pavel Pogrebnyak's stay from German Bundesliga side Stuttgart a permanent one he has been linked with 26-year-old Yilmaz.
The Turkey international, who is understood to have a buy-out clause in his contract of around £4million, has also been linked with a move to the Cottagers' Premier League rivals Arsenal.
However, when quizzed about the possibility of making a bid to sign the player when the transfer window reopens for business, Martin Jol said "We're looking for attacking players because we don't have too many of them.
"We know this player - he's the top scorer in Turkey - but there's no truth in it. It's just speculation."

Last weekend, I got a chance to do some yoga that was cycling specific. I felt that it really helped get out some of the aches and pains in my back. I don't have the time or money to go to yoga classes consistently, so I was wondering if there are any good DVDs that you folks have used. Which one would help me on the bike for a beginning yoga student? I need something that is kind of slow. I have a hard time moving from positions.

Nike Dunk High Premium GS "Scribble" by staff 1 Comments
these are looking pretty nice might have to scoop!
October 20, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 1
Much was made of the Nike Dunk High taking on classic Air Force 1 colorways a short while back. This new pair gives us a twist on a familiar style not from an AF1, but rather, from an SB, as in this very silhouette as issued by Nike Skateboarding. The combination of silver side panel and Swoosh is synonymous with the 2006 'Mork & Mindy' Dunk High SB, but elsewhere, there's at least one degree of separation that makes the similar layout less obvious. The upper is done in blue suede instead of red leather, the Swooshes are perforated, and a grey outsole is used in lieu of multicolor translucency. Still, the overall impact is similar and these go a step further with 3M reflectivity on the silver parts, so take a closer look at the details below, then pick up a pair from ny_5thavenue on eBay.

TCShort for Telecommunications Closet, an area, typically a room or closet, that houses all the equipment associated with telecommunications wiring systems. The TC also serves as a termination point for the horizontal cabling system of a network, the point of circuit administration and contains the network's distribution panels, cross-connects and backbone. All telecommunications wiring is channeled through the TC. The TC may also house auxiliary power supplies for workstation equipment. The larger the network, the more TCs are needed since the end workstations can only be a certain distance away from the TC because of constraints in the type of wiring used. Networks that span multi-level buildings, such as hospitals, typically have a TC on each floor.

Is 'The Destroyer' good for what I need ?

Posted January 29, 2012 at 3:26PM
OK, I have decided after an irritating month of exams and decision making that I am no longer going to build my own PC and I'm not going to customize one on PC Specialist because it's expensive but instead I am going to order one off Novatech because it has had some good reviews and people on this website say they are good. My question is, is the Destroyer good for what I want to play? The first gaming I am going to buy is Batman Arkham City and then I am going to get Dungeon Defenders (Great game by the way) and I hope to purchase Saints Row The Third in the near future. While playing these sorts of games I will be recording with FRAPS to edit and upload videos to youtube. Is this the computer for doing all that (not at the same time of course :P) ?

The problem with a striped raid is that whilst it gives a performance increase it has no redundancy. If one drive fails you have lost all your data.
Raid5 which requires at least 3 drives gives the speed of a striped raid and the redundancy. Lose one drive and the data can be rebuilt on a new drive from the other two.

Just curious, what has made you change your mind from building it yourself to buying a pre-built machine?
If you're a student, you will be able to buy Windows at the reduced price of £40 from Software4Students.
You don't need SLI, although it will obviously give your computer a lot more graphical power if you do choose to get it. If you're undecided then I'd recommend getting a motherboard that supports SLI (and a adequate PSU), but only getting the one graphics card for now and seeing how it performs. Then if you're unhappy with the performance you can easily add a second.

Do I need SLI or Crossfire? The short answer is no, in any event one decent graphics card is usually a better option.

Kk. Thanks for the feedback and help :)
The reason I changed my mind is because the stuff I had selected on amazon was more expensive and I'd rather just get my PC on the doorstep, plug it in and start gaming :P
Also, I'd rather start off with a pre-built PC and add different bits and pieces myself over time. I know it isn't really hard to build your own PC but I didn't because I want to wait until I'm more confident with handling PCs myself until I start changing the hardware. So basically I'm getting a pre-built PC and adding my own stuff over time :)

It is not a bad rig, I think for that sort of dosh I would like a better quality case but it will play all your games at very high settings I would think.

Having stayed in hotels previously when visiting our family in Espoo we found Hellsten much better value, large rooms, sauna, kitchen facilities. We will definitely come again.
Deep freezer needed defrosting (not a problem for us). Breakfasts not very interesting but, again not a problem.
Parking lot is always available.
In room only visibility of cleannes. All dust was under the carpet and bed. Fridge also all in dust. Kitchenware is also quite far from new state. There was even no sponge! Bathroom is full of water everytime after you take bath. No cleaning at all, they tell, that they do not clean rooms every day... They clean your room only after check out!!! Breakfast is not so bad but It is not worth money you have to pay. May be because of that they took money on the check in.
hope can improve breakfast
Staff,location, kitchen and sauna inside the room.
Card terminal must be changed - twice I`m use this hotel, and twice it`s not working properly - all the time said , that PIN is wrong, but I´m sure - it`s OK !
Everything is clean, correct and what one would expect. All the basics are taken care of.
There is no notion of comfort, just pure functionality. I found it a little highly priced for what one actually gets, but on the other hand, it was only for one night and the location suited me perfectly.
Breakfast was OK, otherwise located in living area. OK for car drivers (free parking!) ... otherwise not really recommended
Missing cosiness...
The staff are very friendly, we stayed her twice now and would recommend it to anyone. We had a 1 bedroom with a kitchen and sauna, very clean. Wifi is fast.
No bad comments
A lot of space inside apartament, sauna and kitchen inside. Good breakfast. Perfect location. Parking place for van. Friendly staff.
Private, clean, organized
If you are walking by train, you will have a long walk, and if you are guided by Google Maps you may get to the wrong side of the road, watch out!
First night quite OK, big quadruple room, nothing special, cleaning was not the best and beds very very small.
Second night (after a few days) we booked 2 rooms, specifying that we wanted very close rooms (2 adults and 2 teenager girls). They gave us very small rooms very far, at the other side of the buildings!! No way to change them, and the lady at the reception was extremely rude. NOT recommended!!!
Space of the apartment Sauna Good parking
Breakfast could be better
Perfect facilities: kitchen inside the room (incl.large fridge); sauna.
Little bit sameness breakfast.
excellent in all aspects, lovely and helpful ladies working at the front desk
Great location, very calm. Great room, however a little bit dirty chairs and bed covers. Free parking in front of the hotel.
We have stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. I made a reservation for 1 night only by mistake and when we arrived we asked for the possibility to stay one night more. The reception staff replied positively. We have paid for 2 nights + pets and that is all. However, at the check out, we found out that we need to pay 21 Eur more because "the computer calculated wrong and there was a mistake in tariffs between the price we booked for and the price for the second night (?!)"...All in all if that TOTAL price would have been named me at the arrival, I would not prolong my stay there as it was cheaper for me to buy another ferry ticket... Breakfast could have been a little bit better - scrambled eggs or some salad would perfectly fit.
Staff were very kind and cooperative. Parking and wifi were excellent. Whatever we needed were almost available.
Dishes were not clean enough. At least a fan is needed for the summer time since if one opens the windows, Some kinds of insects will arrive inside the apartment.
All mod cons were available. Toaster, microwave, kettle and coffee maker even a hairdryer was available at reception without bother. Free WiFi worked a charm as well.
Someone had the not so bright idea to inflict there not so excellent piano skills upon us at 7:40 in the morning. Waking to the pleas of the piano to stop the torture inflicted upon it and us was not my idea of a pleasant awakening.
The staff were nice and friendly. Has a kitchen, microwave and refrigerator.
Breakfast was sub par.
The type of accommodation. Apartments are very rare for Finland. Reception was helpful.
Everything in kitchen and overall ambience and furniture is very used and cheap. Someone made a big stain on corridor floor on our first day of stay and it was not cleaned at least for two days (until we left). 3 stars maximum.
Sauna in the room! Free parking at the entrance.
Not much new... Very simple breakfast...
Very comfortable and spacious studio apartment.
Couldn't fault it for the money we paid.
The stuff was very kind and helpful.
The baby cot was extra uncomfortable.
Parking, wifi and breakfast included in the rate. Comfortable room and bathroom with adequate self catering facilities. A bonus for us was the use of the free of charge washing machine.
Staff very cold and not that friendly. Good place for business people not for ordinary travellers. Nothing around the area. No air conditioning. Expensive for what we got.
Very good location, near the train stations and super markets. Only 20 minutes train from Helsinki central. Standard kitchenwares, good place for longer stay.

[LINUX] HOW-TO get Hama MCE Remote Control to fully work in Ubuntu 9.04 - Printable Version

[LINUX] HOW-TO get Hama MCE Remote Control to fully work in Ubuntu 9.04 - lx_cool_j - 2009-12-02 23:10
i finally got the hama mce remote control to work properly under ubuntu 9.04 with xbmc after about a week doing a lot of research and testing.
i use this remote control and got almost every key to work in xbmc.
in this tutorial, [xbmc-user] is a placeholder for your xbmc user.
please note that some keys have the same mapping (for example: "OK", "Start" and "Enter" or "i" and the right mouse button). some keys send three commands to the ir receiver, but in the lircd.conf, i only entered one, otherwise it didn't work, because xbmc only catches the first key sent.
log in as your standard xbmc user and install the latest lirc:
sudo apt-get install lirc
In the lirc configuration tool, that opens up after installation, select "None" in every screen.
after the installation has been completed, edit the following files:
begin remote
# /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
add the following code to
blacklist ati_remote
add the following code (IMPORTANT: the entry has to be written before "exit 0") to
read out the event numbers for your hid:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
you get something like this (i only copied the important entries containing Name="HID...):
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=05a4 Product=9881 Version=0110
event3 and event4 are the two important entries from the cat we made before that we need in the next step. they could be different on your system.
create a file
please note that the code change from dec 17, 2009. the old code contained a copy/paste error...
be careful to change event3 and event4 to the event numbers you got for your system.
chmod the lircstart.sh to 0755
chmod 0755 lircstart.sh
to be continued in the next post...
[LINUX] Full Hama MCE Remote Control support in ubuntu 9.04, continued... - lx_cool_j - 2009-12-03 14:54
continued from previous post
edit the file
ok, everything should work now after a reboot.
to check if remote.xml and Lircmap.xml are integrated to xbmc without any problem you may check it with:
cat /home/[xbmc-user]/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | grep remote.xml
cat /home/[xbmc-user]/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | grep Lircmap.xml
something like this should come to your screen:
21:11:00 T:3041413008 M:1477832704 INFO: Loading special://xbmc/system/keymaps/remote.xml
21:11:00 T:3041413008 M:1477832704 INFO: Loading special://xbmc/system/Lircmap.xml
you also can check the incoming remote control commands with
press any keys on your remote and you should see the name for that key. To close irw, use strg-c.
tail -f /home/[xbmc-user]/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
you can see the keys pressed and the executed commands in xbmc with your remote control.
have fun using your working remote in xbmc!

Hey Thank you very much!!!
you made my day!
Ubuntu 9.10 - anton610 - 2009-12-07 16:21
I've tried it in 9.10, but it didn't worked...
does anybody tried it also in ubuntu 9.10??
Regards Anton
- lx_cool_j - 2009-12-07 18:02
hi anton610,
are there any errors? do you get any response when you use irw? any errors in the xbmc.log?
regards alex
- anton610 - 2009-12-08 18:33
Hello, there are no errors.
of the remote are only a few buttons who work.
Ive found a sec. howto
I'll try and report.
regards Anton
- TheHeadGear - 2009-12-16 21:19
Thanks very much for posting this howto. I had trouble getting all the keys working. In the end, I did everything as posted with the exception of using the following to start lircd. I put these directly into /etc/rc.local rather than creating a separate sh script in my home folder.
sudo vim /etc/rc.local
/etc/init.d/lirc stop
- lx_cool_j - 2009-12-17 18:34
thank you @TheHeadGear,
there was a copy/paste error in my tutorial... i changed the lines regarding lircstart.sh in my post to the code i use. hope, it works now.
this could also be the solution for @anton610
- DocEvil - 2009-12-22 00:19
first, thanksfor the tutorial, but it is not working for me.
let me explain, what i did.
I Installed Ubuntu minimal with openssh server, then followed the Instruktions in the XBMC Wiki found here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMCbuntu.
Everthing works fine, only the damn remote from HAMA. I have until now no sound issues, no graphic issues, and the SMB Network with my Windows PC works fine.
So i install then straight following your tutorial lirc, everything was fine, editing the files, change chmod until even the thing with the event3 and event4. My ION has a bit more Harware at the USB connetors, so i have to changed that to event6 and event7.
But when i write this command in the terminal via ssh:
cat /home/[xbmc-user]/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | grep remote.xml
nothing happen. Of course i rebbot my Asrock ION 330 before i tested it.
Take a look at your tutorial the next command ist the same command like before.
Sounds strange, or?
So then I tried the other commans, like
but no input was shown and the last command
tail -f /home/[xbmc-user]/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log
displays also nothing on the screen.
So i'm a littlebit crazy, trying to install all the things with xbmc the last three days and then that.
S, eventually you can told me, how i unstall lirc, to try it again, or you know my problem and have a solution for me
- DocEvil - 2009-12-22 18:30
excuse my double post, but i want you to know, that i have a little success, with
i could ffind out the keymapping from my hama remote, so please tell me, what in which section i must adjust, to get my remote with this keybinding to work.
here are my commands recorded by me
00000000000100ac 00 HOMEPAGE hama_52451 -- this is the Button with an "e"
i forget to say, that in XBMC only the Volume Buttons and a few other Buttons will work, about ninty Percent dont make anything while pushing it
oh god, the important thing i forget to say, i'm using minimal Ubunto 9.10 karmic. so this is eventually important for you.

lx_cool_j Wrote:thank you @TheHeadGear,
Thank you!!
I'll try it soon
- lx_cool_j - 2009-12-23 16:31
to completely remove lirc enter
sudo apt-get purge lirc
have you replaced [xbmc-user] to your ubuntu username in all of the commands and pathes listed in my tutorial?
for example, if your username is xbmc, the correct command should be:
cat /home/[b]xbmc[/b]/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | grep remote.xml
i only tried this on ubuntu 9.04 (my machine and a friend's) but normally, it should work on 9.10 too.
- DocEvil - 2009-12-23 17:58
sure, i completly removed lirc with the command you posted, after that, a complete reinstall was made. So now i can use
irw to look which remote actions are function, but like i wrote, the command you are posting again, have no effect, no output in terminal.
- lx_cool_j - 2009-12-24 13:03
if you see the pressed buttons of the remote in irw, there has to be an error with your Lircmap.xml or remote.xml in the userdata directory of xbmc. the first letter of Lircmap.xml has to be upper case.
do you see a xbmc.log in your xbmc temp directory?
in my case /home/xbmc/.xbmc/temp
also, in my xbmc, i have checked the option "remote control sends keyboard presses" and "enable mouse" from the "input devices" section. you may also check the option debug logging in the system settings.
good look!
- vibowit - 2009-12-28 03:36
To make it work under Karmic you have to edit:
add one line to it
ln -s /var/run/lirc/lircd /dev/lircd
With this modification it works like a charm in Karmic and XBMC 9.11 beta2.
I have not hama, but Vista MCE Remote VRC-1100 and the codes are identical.
Thanks and regards.
