The Bryant Park Hotel
40 West 40th Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Midtown West
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The American Radiator building is a strange and imposing landmark, a black-and-gold gothic skyscraper, towering above Bryant Park like something out of a comic book. How pleasantly surprising, then, to find that it houses a boutique hotel that is as sober and restrained as many of its competitors are loud and garish.
Restrained doesn't mean boring—just that the Bryant Park hotel eschews the kind of flashy showmanship that has become all too familiar in the boutique hotel world. The lobby, though decked out in rather unconventional black terra cotta and red leather, feels as serious as the building's facade, without too-clever furniture or whimsical sculptural statements, and the Cellar Bar is true to its roots as well, with vaulted ceilings and tilework reminiscent of nothing so much as a restored subway station.
All the architectural sobriety doesn't seem to be cramping the clientele's style, especially during fashion week, which turns the park into an exhibition hall and momentarily makes the Bryant Park Hotel the most desirable address in New York.
As for the accommodations, a complete renovation from the American Radiator days apparently meant the death of many an interior wall—the rooms today are spacious, especially for a midtown hotel, and boast loft-style hardwood floors. Views tend toward the extraordinary, looking over Bryant Park, and some rooms come with private terraces, not at all New York standard. Expect lush goose-down duvets and rich linens, and massive tubs and sinks in the travertine bathrooms.
The cachet-meter has risen another notch or two with the opening of the New York outpost of LA's painfully hip KOI sushi restaurant. Yet another reason for Bryant Park regulars to stop worrying about Soho and learn to love midtown.

What I liked:
I thought the room itsself was outstanding. Great bathroom, even though the shower door is slightly misdesigned in that everytime you take a shower, at least a gallon of water winds up in the bathroom.
What the hotel could do better:
I understand that hotels can't always grant your requests, but they can at least try. I asked for a high floor room and got 12th (out of 25). I asked for one of the suites with a balcony, but didnt get it and I asked for an upgrade and didnt get it. Again, I understand that perhaps it was just not possible to grant these requests at the time, but when paying 600 dollars a night, I would at least expect an apology. Otherwise great stay, but not great enough to keep me from trying something new next time I'm in town.

What I liked:
Atmosphere was very hip, enjoyed the Cellar Bar, staff were very helpful and kind. Rooms are very large.
What the hotel could do better:
walls were very thin, could hear everything going on on the floor. Bed was very uncomfortable.

What I liked:
Great location, far enough away from Times Sq for it not to be a concern but close enough to everything else to be handy. Bryant Park itself is a pretty little setting - handy for the subway too
The bathroom was surprisingly spacious, and it was nice to see someone still using the likes of Molton Brown as opposed to generic, own-brand, washing up liquid-esque toiletries
The Cellar Bar is very popular (and staff here probably friendlier than anywhere else in the hotel), and free drinks from 5 - 6 were very much appreciated
What the hotel could do better:
Disliked is too strong a word really, but I didn't rave about the atmosphere. It can feel a little..."clubby". All the door and reception staff (armed with CIA-like earpieces) are well trained in style, just not superlative service - it's not really that kind of hotel. Everyone was friendly enough, but that's about as far as it went
In short, a nice enough hotel (particularly for New York) but a bit lacking in something really special

Make'em Jelly
"These sandals are the jelly to my peanut butter. Light, airy, and a nostalgic reminder of my childhood. They're inexpensive to re-buy, which you have to do if you intend to wear them heavily (cause they're literally plastic shoes). Great with summer dresses, to wear to the beach, or just to run some errands. I like both the clear and smoke color. They have a cute click sound when you walk. LOVE'EM."

"I love these shoes: they make me nostalgic for my childhood jellies, but these are the grown-up version. They're really cute, comfortable if you don't need arch support, and make walking in the run super fun. The only downside is that after about a year (with nearly daily wear from spring to fall), the plastic starts to break. But that's okay for me--I rebuy these every spring because I love them so much."

Today on Current State: Gov. Snyder shuts down the NERD fund; Haven House; Lansing city council member Tina Houghton; and a breakthrough in nuclear fusion.
After weeks of pointed criticism, the Snyder administration announced on Monday that it would shut down its so-called NERD fund. The "New Energy to Reinvent and Diversify" Fund was not legally obligated to disclose its donors.
It's Wednesday and time for our Neighbors in Action segment, where we feature people and organizations working to make our community a better place. This week, we feature Haven House.
Our Election 2013 coverage continues today with a look at the campaign for Lansing City Council in the second ward. Incumbent Tina Houghton is challenged by newcomer Charles Hoffmeyer.
Achieving nuclear fusion has proven to be elusive for generations of scientists. According to the BBC, American scientists have brought us one step closer to nuclear fusion's becoming a viable source of clean energy.

II. Summary
... there is no protection.
-Interview with a man from the village of Tore, Central Equatoria, Lumuke, who fled his village after it was attacked by a group of bandits and renegade soldiers, April 2008.
Nearly four years after the government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) signed the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) that brought an end to 21 years of civil war, the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) has made limited progress in addressing impunity and establishing the rule of law. Soldiers and other security forces that commit human rights violations and other crimes against civilians are rarely brought to account. The nascent justice system suffers from systemic weaknesses leading to arbitrary detentions, prolonged pre-trial detentions, and very poor prison conditions.
The GoSS, created under the terms of the CPA in 2005, is responsible for administering a severely under-developed area nearly twice the size of France that has been shattered by civil war. Given the sheer scale of its state-building and reconstruction challenges, the GoSS has made significant progress, including by absorbing dozens of formerly hostile militia into the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA). But the fledgling government, dominated by the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) has not managed to protect civilians from crimes committed by its security forces, and public disquiet over these abuses is growing.
Southern Sudan's security landscape remains extremely fragile. In addition to threats emanating from national political tensions or attacks by the Ugandan rebel group Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), many southerners' security and livelihoods are affected by localized communal fighting, often linked to competition over land, livestock, or other resources. Large numbers of weapons remain in civilian hands, turning many disputes violent and deadly. Soldiers and renegade soldiers from the SPLA also contribute to insecurity with infighting or by crimes against civilians for personal gain.
The Southern Sudan Police Service (SSPS) lacks resources and training to effectively provide security. In their absence, GoSS officials, who are almost all former military themselves, turn to SPLA soldiers to manage security threats. The soldiers are untrained in civilian law enforcement and often undisciplined. For example, a policing operation carried out by SPLA soldiers in Eastern Equatoria in June 2008 spiraled out of control, leading to the deaths of at least 12 civilians, arbitrary arrests, torture and the displacement of 4,000 people. Nine soldiers also lost their lives.
Very weak rule of law institutions and insufficient attention by GOSS authorities to rule of law issues have given rise to an environment of impunity, particularly for soldiers who view themselves as "liberators" of the South and above the law. In this environment, soldiers and other security forces commit serious crimes, often opportunistically, against civilians. The crimes include beatings, robbery, intimidation, land-grabbing, and sexual violence. In a series of cases in 2007-8, security forces carried out illegal arrests, beatings, robbery, and sexual violence targeting foreign traders in major towns.
In the broader context, the two parties to the CPA (Government of Sudan and SPLA/M) remain seriously behind schedule in implementing key aspects of the CPA. The CPA, which sets out a series of national reforms aimed at democratic transformation in Sudan, provides an interim six-year period that ends when southerners vote on self-determination in 2011. To date, the parties have not agreed to a demarcation of the North-South border, completed security arrangements, or made significant progress in preparing for national elections scheduled for mid-2009-a key milestone in the agreement.
As the window of opportunity for implementation gets smaller, it is becoming more urgent than ever that parties to the CPA adopt and advance the agreement's human rights agenda-both nationally and in Southern Sudan-as a means to achieving the envisioned democratic transformation that would allow for free and fair elections and enable a meaningful referendum. This agenda includes a comprehensive law reform process at the national level, and action in Southern Sudan to improve human rights and rule of law, and to address impunity.
Within Southern Sudan, GoSS should hold soldiers and other security forces transparently accountable for crimes against civilians. GoSS security sector reforms should include appropriate human rights training of soldiers in their peacetime role. The SPLA should issue clear instructions to soldiers that they are not above the law and will be tried for their crimes, including illegal arrests and detentions. The police should also establish transparent accountability mechanisms, accessible to civilians. GoSS should expand training and support for police, legal advisors, and judicial authorities and encourage a proactive approach to ending illegal detentions.
These security sector reforms are especially urgent in view of potential political tensions and violence in the lead-up to national elections, currently scheduled July 2009, and the 2011 referendum. Flashpoints could include the announcement of the April 2008 national census results, the physical demarcation of the North-South border, the decision of the Permanent Court of Arbitration on Abyei's boundaries, and demarcation of electoral constituency boundaries.
The GoSS's response to violent crimes and inter-communal violence, which often erupts in predictable geographic and seasonal patterns, should prioritize human rights and civilian protection and be better coordinated, with involvement from relevant GoSS, State, and local civilian authorities. GoSS should develop a coherent strategy for managing conflict in a manner that protects human rights rather than violates them.
GoSS should also strengthen nascent rule of law institutions and ensure that the Human Rights Commission, Land Commission, and Anti-Corruption Commission are empowered and operational. Action in these areas could improve human rights in Southern Sudan and contribute tangibly to "peace dividends" that have so far eluded Southern Sudanese citizens.
The United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) should re-assess its role in civilian protection, improve its monitoring of insecure and volatile areas by its military and civilian components, and help local authorities respond effectively and appropriately to civilian insecurity. UNMIS, together with United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and other international agencies, should also accelerate assistance for appropriate training and reform of security forces, and ensure support for the Joint Integrated Units (JIUs) and Joint Integrated Police Units (JIPUs). They should simultaneously strengthen civilian rule of law institutions-police, prisons, and judiciary-and government commissions that help promote human rights and rule of law. Another key measure that could improve human rights protection is deployment of additional human rights officers more widely throughout Southern Sudan by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and UNMIS.

Patriots linebacker Bruschi to miss season
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New England Patriots linebacker Tedy
Bruschi will sit out the 2005 season while he recovers from a
stroke, the team announced on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old Bruschi suffered a mild stroke in February,
10 days after leading the Patriots to a 24-21 victory over the
Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
"It has been an offseason of many emotional highs and lows
for Tedy and his family," Patriots director of media relations
Stacey James said in a statement.
"With the Patriots' training camp reporting date now just
over a week away, Tedy has reached a decision on his playing
status for the upcoming season and has declared his intentions
to forgo the 2005 campaign."
The 6-foot-1, 250-pound Bruschi had been attending
offseason workouts amid speculation the 10-year NFL veteran
would return for the season.
"All offseason, we have seen and felt Tedy's strong and
upbeat presence," head coach Bill Belichick said. "As usual, we
will keep the focus on the short term and address the future in
due course.
"We are pleased Tedy continues to be part of the team and
he has our complete support."

My semi-epic review of Dawn of War 2
By evadwolrab 1 Comments
Phew. Well this took far too long, but I finally got my review posted up.
The full thing's here if anyone wants it, but I'll pull out a couple of quotes.
At a time when most real-time strategy developers were enhancing their engines so that we can throw EVEN MORE (gasp!) enemies in one large cluster at the other team, Relic decided to scale down the numbers, ramp up the tactics and make a game that not only challenged players on a different level other than 'He has 15 tanks. I must need 16 over there', but one that could also afford tiny graphical and animation details that would just be wasted from a wider angle. What we were left with was characters that we felt more attached to, a sense that any skirmish can be won with the right tactics, and not a swarm tactic in sight.Anyone got it yet? It goes without saying that I recommend it!
Dave Barlow's rating: 5/5. The game excels in all areas. It's frantic, yet never overwhelming; accessible, but almost infinitely deep; lengthy, but in a rewarding, engaging way. More fun than Warcraft 3, more varied than Company of Heroes. In all honesty, Dawn of War II is the greatest real-time tactical game ever crafted. It almost received four stars, but apparently "I wish it was an MMO" isn't a valid enough reason to dock points.

Yesterday I stopped by the second groupY Action Sports Conference at the Hilton in Huntington Beach, Calif.
There was a full crowd of about 300 people in the audience from a variety of sectors in action sports from brands and media to marketing and PR agencies.
The event was geared towards non-endemics looking to work within the action sports arena as well as brands and athletes weighing in on action sports culture and media as a whole.
The event was broadcasted live through Twitter feeds all day with people highlighting some of the key takeaways from the various panels and presenters.
Some of the most interesting comments came from people outside of traditional action sports.
UFC Chief Marketing officer Bryan Johnston talked a bit about his business. Johnston said he said he spends 60% of his time focusing internationally at the UFC, while when he worked in action sports he spent most of his time only focusing on North America
Tim McFerran, President of Maloof Money Cup, mentioned that he is taking the event to South Africa next year, and that there's a lot of interest from a variety of different countries to do more international events.

The American President Barack Obama, on Thursday, said that he would end the tax breaks to American firms that shipped jobs out of the country.
In his first State of Union address, he said "to keep jobs at home, it is time to finally slash the tax breaks for companies that ship our jobs overseas, and give those tax breaks to companies that create jobs right here in the United States of America."
"Now, the House has passed a jobs bill that includes some of these steps. As the first order of business this year, I urge the Senate to do the same... People are out of work. They're hurting. They need our help. And I want a jobs bill on my desk without delay," he said.
Will India, which is known as the world's back-office, suffer the most by this move?
According to software services industry body Nasscom, the IT sector accounts for 5.8 per cent of Indias gross domestic product in 2008-09, up from 1.2 per cent in 1997-98.
Though the objective of the move is to arrest the flow of jobs out of America, industry sources aren't quite sure if the move will have the desired impact? If the U.S. Government disallows offshoring costs as expenses in the books of the U.S. companies, it will increase the cost of offshoring by 35 to 40 per cent for the U.S. firms.
The on-site or onshore cost of a starting level engineer in an IT company is about $50to $60 per hour. The correspondent cost for the same job if done offshore either in India or China works out to around $25-$30 per hour. Assuming that the U.S. Government actually disallows offshore payments as expenses, then the cost of offshoring will go up. Industry experts estimate that the offshoring cost in that event could go up to $35-$ 45. Still it is cheaper for the U.S. companies to off shore jobs to locations such as India or China.
Industry sources aver that the move could at best result in stoppage of fresh flow of transitional works from the U.S. into India and other countries which do offshoring. However, they are of the view that it will not result in any pull-back of jobs already shipped out of the U.S. Nevertheless, they agreed that the move could trigger some hard bargaining by the U.S. companies to hammer down offshoring prices, which could impact the top line and bottom-line of IT companies in India and China which are America-centric in their business. Industry observers predict that the American Presidents move may prod the Indian IT firms to look beyond the U.S. and explore business opportunities in Europe and elsewhere.
The industry body Nasscom is of the view that the Obama announcement will not affect the Indian IT companies. According to Ameet Nivsarker, Vice-President of Nasscom, the move is all about the American companies which have set up their outfits in lower tax areas and booking profits. In any case, the tax difference between India and the U.S. is very minimal. According to Chief Financial Officer of Hinduja Gobal Solutions Ltd., Anand Vora, companies outsourcing are doing it based on financial implications and cost structures. The decisions are commercial and based on economic implications.
It is surprising that the U.S., a torch-bearer of free market economy and which strongly advocated free movement of goods and services across the globe, is now seeking to build protective walls around it. An advocate of de-regulation is now looking at opportunities to re-regulate?

However, from the onset, there was just the forensics lab and the training academy, both initiated by the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense, John Hamre in 1998.[2] DC3 was constructed in October 2001 to house both DCFL and DCITA, and to support the creation of the Defense Cyber Crime Institute (DCCI).
Mission Statement: Deliver superior digital forensics and multimedia lab services, cyber technical training, research, development, testing and evaluation, and cyber analysis capabilities supporting cyber counterintelligence and counterterrorism, criminal investigations, intrusion forensics, law enforcement, intelligence community, critical infrastructure partners, and information operations for the Department of Defense.
Defense Computer Forensics Laboratory (DCFL)[edit]
The Defense Computer Forensics Laboratory (DCFL) is a world class accredited digital forensics laboratory.[3] On 8 September 2005, the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB) accredited the DCFL as part of its nascent digital forensics regime.[4] DCFL's mission is to provide the DoD with digital forensic services, as well as expert testimony. The DCFL has organized digital forensic examinations within an industrial process that is unmatched elsewhere in terms of its scope.[3]
The laboratory provides forensics services to the Defense Criminal Investigative Organizations (DCIOs), and other partners, to analyze and report on digital media seized in investigations. The lab handles a variety of cases including:
Evidence (EV) Section
The Evidence Section handles all items of evidence and media submitted to DCFL for examination or analysis.
Intake (IN) Section
The Intake Section was formed in the fall of 2011 to provide customer support as soon as the laboratory request form is received.
Imaging & Extraction (I&E) Section
The I&E Section makes forensic copies of all media submitted to the lab. Media submitted ranges from computers and external media to unique devices such as gaming systems, cellular telephones, and GPS systems.
Major Crimes (MC) Section
The MC Section conducts the digital evidence analysis supporting criminal investigations. The case types supported include fraud, safety investigations, crimes against persons (sexual assault, child pornography, child exploitation, homicide, or other death-related cases) and crimes against property (arson, theft, property destruction, etc.).
Counterintelligence / Counterterrorism (CI/CT) Section
The CI/CT Section supports counterintelligence investigations at all classification levels which impact national security.
Intrusions (IN) Section
The IN Section conducts examinations and analysis on computer intrusions, malware, and malicious code-related inquires or investigations.
Litigation Support (LS) Section
The LS Section coordinates the travel and litigation requests for examiners to provide testimony at trials and courts martial proceedings.
Quality Assurance (QA) Section
The QA Section ensures that quality is of the highest priority in all DCFL products. QA activities range from quality review of technical examinations to technical writing and ensuring laboratory standards are maintained in the arena of digital and multimedia forensics.
Defense Cyber Investigations Training Academy (DCITA)[edit]
The Defense Cyber Investigations Training Academy (DCITA) is a nationally accredited[5] educational academy that researches, develops, and delivers training in cyber investigations for the DoD, military counterintelligence groups, federal law enforcement, and other law enforcement organizations. DCITA's mission is to provide cyber investigation training to individuals and DoD elements that must ensure Defense information systems are secure from unauthorized use, counterintelligence, and criminal and fraudulent activities.[6] DCITA students receive hands-on training in classrooms, as well as online distance learning. DCITA follows the COE and ACE accreditation standards leading towards DC3 certification.
DCITA is nationally accredited by the Council on Occupational Education,[5] and features multiple courses accredited by the American Council on Education, allowing them to be eligible for college credits.[7] Due to its accreditation, the Academy changed its name on 1 October 2006 from its previous name of the Defense Computer Investigations Training Program (DCITP).
DCITA provides 33 courses that cover every aspect of cyber investigations.[8] Topics include: incident response, Windows-based forensics, and network intrusions in Windows, Linux, and Solaris Unix environments. Niche topics are also provided for undercover Internet investigations, Macintosh forensic recovery, log analysis, large data set acquisition, and network exploitation.

DoD - Defense Industrial Base Collaborative Information Sharing Environment (DCISE)[edit]
The DOD-DIB Collaborative Information Sharing Environment (DCISE) was established in response to the critical need to improve information sharing between U.S. Government (USG) and private sector components of the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). DCISE is the operational arm of the DoD Cyber Security / Information Assurance program. DCISE works with DIB partners to safeguard DoD information residing on or transiting DIB controlled unclassified networks by providing actionable threat products, analysis, forensics diagnostics, and remediation consults in response to voluntarily reported network events.
DCISE products assist government and industry partners in strengthening security and protecting controlled unclassified information on DIB computer networks.
The CRF provides cyber situational awareness to the DIB, USG, and Critical Infrastructure /Key Resource (CI/KR) community on an event or incident reported by a DIB or CI/KR Partner through an Incident Collection Form (ICF). The CRF is produced within 72 hours of receiving an ICF and summarizes the event using incident details and malware analysis. The CRF also reports if activity can be attributed to Advanced Persistent Threats and the probability of compromise to DoD information. CRF's are sanitized to remove information that may reveal the reporting source.
- DIB Alert
The DIB Alert is a time-sensitive product released to the DIB Partner community within 4 hours of a reported incident or security event derived from internal or external sources. The product contains indicators that help partners and community stakeholders identify potential compromised systems within their respective networks. The DIB Alert may be written at the classified or unclassified level.
The TIP is a weekly report that notifies DIB Partners of possible threats to their network infrastructure. TIPs contain cyber indicators derived solely from reports on intrusion activity experienced in USG Stakeholder networks. TIPs do not contain attributable information.
The TAR is an in-depth analytic product that correlates technical activities and indicators from across the DIB, with activity identified in the broader Information Assurance community. TARs offer a larger set of indicators of related reporting and provide DIB Partners greater context into the network intrusion/events. TARs are produced within 10 working days of receipt of the ICF.
The CTAR is a strategic-level, INFOSEC analytic report that provides DIB Partners with insight into technology targeting. CTAR analysis is derived from ICFs, CRFs, TARs, and other INFOSEC and Intelligence Community reporting. CTARs are produced within 30 working days of activity recognition.
National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force - Analytical Group (NCIJTF-AG)[edit]
DC3 resources and manages the Analytic Group (AG) of the NCIJTF, which operates under overall FBI stewardship, joined by other national LE/CI organizations. Focused on nation-state threat actors, AG leads a collaborative analytical and technical exchange with subject matter experts from LE/CI, CND, IC, and IA agencies to build a threat picture to enable proactive LE/CI cyber operations.
DC3 Challenge[edit]
The annual DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge[11] is a FREE, online, international competition consisting of individual progressive-level exercises. This particular challenge serves as a call to the digital forensics community to cultivate new cyber professionals and pioneer new investigative tools, techniques, and methodologies. DC3, its partners, and sponsors together bring the DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge to the public.
2006 DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge[edit]
The 2006 Challenge provided unique tests that included: Audio steganography, real vs. computer generated image analysis, Linux LVM data carving, and recovering data from destroyed floppy disks and CDs. With 140 teams total, and 21 submissions entered, AccessData won the 2006 event.[12]
2007 DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge[edit]
The 2007 Challenge introduced new topics, such as: Bitlocker cracking and recovering data from destroyed USB thumb drives. With 126 teams competing, and 11 entries submitted, a team of students from the Air Force Institute of Technology won the event.[13]
2008 DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge[edit]
Beginning with the 2008 Challenge, the contest was broken into four skill levels: Novice, Skilled, Expert, and Genius. New challenges included: detection of malicious software, partition recovery, file header reconstruction, Skype analysis, and foreign text identification and translation. With 199 teams competing, and 20 entries submitted, the competition was won by Chris Eagle and Tim Vidas of the Naval Postgraduate School. The 2008 Challenge also marked the first time that all results were released publicly.[14]

2013 DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge[edit]
The 2013 DC3 Digital Forensics Challenge is underway! Please visit the website[17] for more information and to register your team.
Published tools[edit]
To assist the DoD in cyber investigations, various tools and utilities have been written by agencies within DC3, and some have been released publicly. One of the most prominent of these tools is dcfldd,[18] a modification of the Unix dd utility to include a progress bar, pattern-based disk wiping, and inline data hashing. The dcfldd utility is maintained by Nick Harbour, who had previously worked at DCFL while developing the tool.
DC3 continued development of the dcfldd utility with a new effort, dc3dd.[19] This new version is based upon standard modifications to the existing dd application, instead of continually rewriting the utility for each dd release. This development style allows dc3dd to simply plug in its functionality into the latest dd version.

where's all the back-to-school deals for laptops?I have been lurking this forum for weeks and there hasn't been one truly decent deal for a laptop. I've read post saying deals will come sometime in August, but will they really? I want to spend less than 900 dollars after taxes (CA kills so many deals with taxes...).
I'm looking for an i7 ivy bridge with dedicated graphics. Nvidia preferred, but i dont mind AMD as some i've read are actually pretty decent.
I really want a 1080p screen but 1600 x 900 will do fine. I'm looking for 15.6 + inches. so many deals posted here i see lack in this department. (i despise you 1366 x 768!!!).
3 essential things i look for when buying a laptop is scren res, processor, and dedicated graphics.
an ideal laptop would be an i7 ivy bridge with nvidia graphics and a 1080p screen. along with that i would like a backlit keyboard, good battery, and nice form factor. is it impossible to get this under 900?
btw, a free xbox would be sweet.
some brands i like are asus and dell. A brand i try to avoid is HP, but I do really like the look of their envy lineup. I was configuring stuff on HP's website and the lowest i could find for the specs i just listed was 1,099 plus CA tax = deal killer.
I lurk frys and costco and other tech deal sites daily and nothing pops my eyes out ever...
I request help my fellow slickdealers!

It's the middle of July. The back-to-school deals will happen at back-to-school time. I hope you were sitting down for that, because it was probably a big shock to you, maybe you should also go to the pharmacy and get yourself some OTC heart medication just in case.
All the kids are out having fun; no one is doing any back-to-school shopping right now. They're traveling Europe, just hanging out, working summer jobs, doing internships and clerkships, taking road trips, etc. Do you really think any vendors are going to have any luck luring kids to the Container Store for some plastic storage and bathroom organization and to the local department store for some clothes and bedding? You were told to wait until August, so wait until August. If you *must* have a laptop now, you need to just do your own searches in the hot deals section for a laptop you like, watch newegg, and check the Dell outlet (especially if you get a 15%-25% coupon from the forums here or an email).
I know you said you try to avoid HP, but these are close to your desired specs and comes in close to your budget (of course taxes might kill it).

I did give you a useful response; you're being impatient about waiting for back-to-school sales. The places I mention are the 3 best places to find a good deal on a laptop on the internet, IMO. The only sure way to get a better deal is to be comfortable buying used, and to scour Craigslist for someone that bought something that was way too much for them, or bought something too expensive and is now in immediate need for money. Thanks to all the B&M stores pushing these advanced specs onto people that don't know any better (or the half that go into a store and claim that they "use Photoshop" despite not even knowing what a layer mask is), this is not very difficult to find.
they start in august also windows8 wll start shipping to computer makers in august atthe moment they cant sell notebooks,and they are buildng up in wharehouses

Ariel Winter loves to cover popular songs, and we love to hear her covers when they arrive. So, we wonder if she'll be covering Justin Timberlake's latest single "Mirrors"? Ariel told her fans that she's a big fan of the song, Tweeting:
Justin Timberlake's song Mirrors is so amazing I can't even deal with it. New favorite. Love the lyrics!!! :) #obsessedwithmusic
We're excited for Ariel's next cover, for whichever song she chooses! Fingers crossed it's "Mirrors" though, because that would be awesome!
Which other songs would you like to hear Ariel cover?

Greek Philosopher Socrates is Alive and Well… in Albuquerque
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ — Despite what you may have heard about that hemlock incident, Socrates isn't dead. In fact, he's alive and well and now promoting online compliance solutions for RegScan, Inc.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20091104/NE05160 )
In late October, RegScan, Inc. launched its new regulatory-based task management system at NAEM's 17th Annual EHS Management Forum. And what is the name of this system? RegScan Socrates(TM), of course.
Socrates himself was on hand at the event to introduce attendees to the system, and to encourage people to ask questions of themselves and their current task management solutions.
"Does a man know which tasks he must accomplish to achieve regulatory compliance? Does he contemplate whether or not there is a faster and easier way to keep track of the progress of such tasks? Does his current system truly meet his needs, or does he need something much more enlightened?" the philosopher pondered aloud.
Also on hand at the event was RegScan's President and CEO Ned Ertel.
"The citizens of Athens thought they did away with a great thinker…perhaps in body, but not in spirit," explains Ertel. "In keeping with Socrates' spirit, who was known for organized thought processes, we designed RegScan Socrates(TM) as an intelligent compliance task management system."
Unlike other task management systems, Socrates is a regulatory compliance management system where users can create tasks directly from the regulations. Whether complying with Sarbanes-Oxley, banking, housing, environmental health and safety, tax and any other regulatory area, Socrates will simplify and help organize one's regulatory compliance. Clients can also generate tasks using audit protocols provided by RegScan or upload their own custom questions into the Corrective Action Tracking (or CATS) module. Once the audit is complete, CATS will automatically create corrective action tasks from the deficiencies.
You don't need to spend time with Socrates in person to learn about the RegScan Socrates(TM) system. Information on the new system has been added to the www.regscan.com web site. There visitors will find an overview of RegScan Socrates(TM). For more information, RegScan's sales team is always happy to answer your questions at 1-800-734-7226.
Founded in 1987, RegScan, Inc. provides legislative and regulatory information and services to Fortune 1000 companies worldwide. Its congressionally recognized HazMat Trucking Enforcer software is unique in its handling of complex hazardous material shipments and is used daily by both enforcement and private carriers for the safe handling of dangerous goods.

Gaffie du Toit will be named on the left wing for the Cheetahs' Vodacom Super 14 encounter with the Stormers on Saturday, but will undergo a fitness test on the morning of the match.
Du Toit pulled a hamstring against the Hurricanes two weeks ago, and has been given as much time as possible to recover.
Should Du Toit fail the fitness test, WP tormentor Willem de Waal will come onto the bench, with Eddie Fredericks taking Du Toit's place on the wing.
Erasmus has avoided the temptation to tamper with the starting XV that beat the Hurricanes, and is keen to build up some momentum ahead of the away leg of the Super 14.
The Cheetahs have lost two home games this season, to the Bulls and Highlanders, but beat the Sharks in Durban. Another away victory in Cape Town and the Cheetahs Super 14 campaign will be firmly back on track.
Cheetahs team to play Stormers (probable):
15. Bevin Fortuin, 14. Giscard Pieters, 13. Ronnie Cooke, 12. Barry Goodes, 11. Gaffie du Toit/Eddie Fredericks, 10. Meyer Bosman, 9. Michael Claassens, 8. Ryno van der Merwe, 7. Juan Smith (c), 6. Kabamba Floors, 5. Barend Pieterse, 4. Corniel van Zyl, 3. Jannie du Plessis, 2. Tiaan Liebenberg, 1. Os du Randt.
Subs: 16. Ollie le Roux, 17. Wian du Preez, 18. Cobus Grobler, 19. Frans Viljoen, 20. Falie Oelshig, 21. Sinethemba Zweni, 22. Eddie Fredericks/Willem de Waal.

Neither these cards nor the rulebook specifies what "a number between X and Y" means (particularly, whether or not the values are inclusive). The only source of information on this is the Gatherer ruling for Liquid Fire, which only implies that they are inclusive. Shapeshifter has no such ruling.
The rulebook should specify that players can choose X or Y when instructed to "choose a number between X and Y." In other words, it should mention that the choices include the listed values.
Also, Shapesahifter's original printed text (and the next oldest one) don't let you pick 7, but the oracle text (and the two newer printings) do. I'm just throwing that out there.

Webster's New International Dictionary of the English Language,
1. Original, the German thaler; hence, any of the various large silver coins resembling it described in definition 2 – 8 below.
2. The Spanish peso, or piece of eight (= 8 reals), called peso duro, or in English hard dollar, which formerly circulated widely, esp. in the Americas; also, the modern Spanish peso, or 5-peseta piece (nominally worth $.965. See PESETA)
3. A United States coin, which since 1837 has been made 412.5 grains (26.730) of silver .900 fine. Except for the design it is nearly identical with the old Spanish dollar. It was first issued in 1794. Prior to 1873, it was the monetary unit, and since then has been maintained by the government on a parity with the gold dollar. Its intrinsic value in silver at 60 cents an ounce, or at a ratio to gold of 34.45:1, is 46.4 cents. It is legal tender for any amount.
4. A United States coin similar to the above but weighing 420 grains, issued for use in Oriental trade and called specifically trade dollar. It has not been coined since 1887.
There are no statutes that have changed the original definition of a "dollar."

Originally written on Sports Business Digest | Last updated 11/10/14
The San Jose Sharks recognize that fans and downtown-San Jose businesses are missing hockey. Their goal? To help alleviate that burden, for at least one night. Sharks Sports & Entertainment will host a regular season game at the HP Pavilion featuring the Shark's ECHL affiliate -- the San Francisco Bulls -- on December 17th. Season ticket holders of the Sharks will have complimentary tickets for the game, and both Sharks and Bulls season ticket holders will receive detailed information on obtaining their complimentary tickets, according to the team's statement. The Sharks are hoping to use the game as a "thank you" to their (now long-suffering) fans, while attempting to support the downtown business which rely heavily on the Sharks during the NHL season, "We all miss having the game of hockey at HP Pavilion," said Sharks Sports & Entertainment's Executive Vice President of Business Operations Malcolm Bordelon. "This free event is a way for us to say thank you to our loyal and patient fans, while also trying to assist those who have been directly impacted by the labor dispute between the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association." The Sharks Foundation will also be hosting a "Toys for Tots" drive during the game, to help support the less fortunate during the holiday season. All participants will be entered into a raffle for Sharks-branded prizes. This special San Francisco Bulls game vs. the Stockton Thunder will take the place of the Bulls' previously scheduled home game on January 16, 2013. (via Sharks Press Release) ;

2007 BEST Optical Shop
Vizio Optic
Galina Rabkin can't stand a smudged lens any more than she can abide a crooked frame. The petite Russian-born optometrist is a perfectionist through and through, and she's arranged her spare Brookline Village boutique accordingly: Polished specs by Chanel, Prada, Face à Face, and the cleverly kooky XIT decorate the backlit walls and fill the neat wood-and-glass cases. Behind the scenes, her spotless exam room and state-of-the-art vision equipment are organized and unintimidating. And should Vizio not have your preferred pair, Rabkin will go to great lengths to order or import them.
