By JOANNA NIKAS
A look at Ms. Karan's life and career as she steps down as chief designer of Donna Karan International.
Wednesday, July 1, 2015
A team of gay African-American men who practice a balletic version of cheerleading called J-setting have been ejected from parades, but celebrated, too.
A new pattern is sure to have a trickle-down effect in fashion.
After "much soul searching," a major force in American fashion is leaving the helm of the house she founded.

Looks from the past and the future also formed part of the collections at Rick Owens, Yohji Yamamoto and Dries Van Noten.

Those of us who can't say we're sorry sometimes make things worse with florid not-me mea culpas.
The share of women keeping their names when they marry has increased, but today it seems more about practicality, less of a feminist statement.
Breaking up by virtually disappearing is becoming an increasingly popular, if frustrating, way to ditch a relationship.
Amy Schumer, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Rebel Wilson and others have seriously (and sometimes not) discussed the issue of their true ages.
Teenagers (and their mothers) use many means to achieve flawless, silky strands, from blowouts to keratin treatments.
If living "freely" was necessary to prove my love for my boyfriend, I was happy to comply. But it wasn't that simple.

While the money is nice (purchases from campaign stores are donations), the customer information is invaluable.
H. Stern reopens, while J. Crew, Madewell and Rag & Bone hold their anticipated sample sales.
The Danish pre-eminent doodad emporium swoops into town, with everything you may (or may not) need.

Meeting & Convention Services Managers in the United States take home approximately $47K annually on average. The most influential factor affecting pay for this group is residence, though experience level and the specific company have a (lesser) impact as well. Most Meeting & Convention Services Managers like their work and job satisfaction is high. Most enjoy medical while a strong majority get dental coverage. Vision coverage is also available to more than half. Female Meeting & Convention Services Managers far outnumber their male contemporaries among survey respondents. The data for this synopsis comes from respondents who took the PayScale salary survey.

Meeting/convention services managers are in charge of ensuring that attendees have an exceptional experience during meetings and conventions. They are responsible for communicating with planners regarding specific details and arrangements, as well as checking function books to make sure proper space and time has been allocated and arranged. These managers also conduct site inspections to check accommodations, meet with clients to cultivate business relationships, and recommend external services depending on the requirements for the event. They conduct meetings with clients prior to the event to finalize details and with meeting planners after the event to review bill terms and evaluate service.Read More...
Meeting/convention services managers create contracts detailing meeting arrangements, and they must be present during the conventions to assist with specific requests and ensure proper service related to staff and equipment. The managers supervise event preparation tasks and change items in the venue as needed, as well as interact with vendors, guests, co-workers, and other management personnel. They must use their working knowledge of diverse food, decoration, and entertainment equipment services in planning, as well as mathematical skills to calculate commissions and estimates.
A bachelor's degree in event planning or a related field is necessary. Experience in a managing capacity and/or meeting planning may be preferred. Meeting/convention services managers must be highly organized individuals that pay strong attention to detail. They should be results oriented, independent professionals with advanced leadership skills to manage a group of employees to reach all company goals. They also must possess exceptional communication skills to establish effective relationships with clients.
While select Hilton Worldwide employees may bring in up to $113K, a median salary of only $46K — the lowest in the field — suggests a serious lag in the earnings department.
Survey results show that Meeting & Convention Services Managers typically report just a few professional skills. Most notably, skills in Event Planning, Event Management, Customer Service, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Customer Relationship Management and Customer Service. Those with knowledge of Event Management tend to be skilled in Event Planning as well.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Meeting & Convention Services Managers do not generally earn higher incomes from more experience in the field. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $42K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $49K. On average, Meeting & Convention Services Managers make $54K following one to two decades on the job. As Meeting & Convention Services Managers reach more than two decades on the job, compensation remains commensurate with experience; the average pay in this group is $61K.

Oncie stared at the Once-ler as went up to his room. After 10 minutes of just standing there, he decided to go ahead and grab the knife his future self had thrown on the other Side of the room.
'I might need this later,' Oncie thought to himself putting it in his hand. Oncie snuggled up in a corner. He placed his hand on his ear, shuddering at the idea of Once-ler doing that to him.
Oncie shook his head,
"Maybe and hopefully something will make that prick see that he's going to lose so much if he keeps this up."
Oncie woke up at the crack of dawn, hungrier than ever,
He stretched then thought to himslef,
'Well if I'm going to be here for a month then might as well make friends with him,'
Oncie yawned then said out loud,
"I think I'll make some pancakes for him too."
Once-ler was still in bed, a leg and an arm dangling over side when he woke to the smell of...Pancakes? He stretched and pushed himself up onto his elbows, rubbing his nose. Who did he bring home l

Once-ler reached his job still fuming over the morning. He entered his office, falling into the red chair and propping his feet on his desk, his glasses on the edge of his nose. A knock on the door made him sit straight, taking the glasses off and pulling his jacket tighter across his ripped shirt. "Come in." His secretary entered the room holding some files and papers for him to sign,
"Here are the papers you requested yesterday."
"Thank you. You can go." The girl left, Once-ler looking through the papers and thinking of what Oncie threatened to him about being environmental. As he skimmed the pages, he stopped on one that talked about expanding further into the forest. Once-ler stopped, thinking before he tore it up, thinking that it should shut Oncie up for a week or two. He signed the others and took them to the secretary, his mind now full of thoughts of his younger self. The secretary looked at him, noticing his ripped shirt but did not say anything. Once-ler went bac

Oncie blushed and struggled to get out of Once-ler's tight grip. When Once-ler went down to kiss him Oncie kicked him where it hurts.
Once-ler hissed and slapped Oncie in the face.
Once-ler pushed Oncie away, his cheek throbbing. All he wanted was a kiss but the little child did not want it. Fine, he would get something else...
"Is that how you want it? Fine,"
Once-ler lunged forward, grabbing Oncie's arms to pin them to his sides. He then closed his eyes and forced his lips onto Oncie's, his heart exploding. He was finally achieving his dream from last night. He was finally kissing Oncie. His lips were soft and sweet, like if they were a truffula tuft themselves. Once-ler kept kissing him, not wanting this to end...
Oncie squirmed in Once-ler's grasp, not wanting to admit that he wanted more.
Once-ler chuckled and pulled him closer. Oncie unconsciously moaned, this surprised the Once-ler. Oncie then gasped as he felt Once-ler's tounge push throu

"They wouldn't say." She shrunk back slightly "They just said they need to see you"
His mother ran away before he could yell any more. He thought his mother would remember what happened last time she interrupted him."I wonder who would disturb me" He muttered to himself.
He got so lost in his thoughts he didn't realize someone was at his door till they were pounding on it. "Who is it?" said a little to angrily.
A tall lanky man walked in, "sorry". The man seemed to shrink a bit.
"Who are you? What do you want?" He knew he was asking to much at once. But he hates unexpected guests.

"No, you dope! Like this!"
About a month had passed since I last met the Onceler. This infamous villain had been known for slaughtering of the trees for both profit and other personal gains. Since his arrival, he had made smiley-face pancakes, practically inhaled three packs of marshmallows, and was currently helping me to trim a truffula tree, all the while wearing my frilly, pink apron. He insisted on wearing it to help keep away, and I quote, the "creepy crawlies". Isn't he in his twenties?
I was standing behind him, hands firmly planted on my hips, coaching/scolding him through trimming a truffula tree by himself for the first time. I've never had a kid, but I think this is a lot how potty-training a toddler is.

Police humanely shot a deer with a broken front leg that found its way into the spillway at the Norwalk reservoir.
Norwalk Police Capt. Mike Conney, who shot the doe with his service weapon, said he felt bad for the deer. It was missing fur from its posterior area.
"It was a good size deer," Conney said.
At 10:11 a.m. Sunday, a concerned citizen reported the deer was trapped on the spillway on Memorial Lake Drive at the reservoir. Officer Chris Kelley was the first officer to respond; Sgt. Jim Montana also came to the scene.
"(The deer) was scuffed up pretty bad. ... The leg was broken pretty bad," Conney said.
It's unknown how long the doe was in the spillway before officers arrived. Conney said the deer could have jumped the fence surrounding the area and broken its leg.
"The break appeared to be high up on the leg as it was swinging freely when the doe would attempt to walk," Conney wrote in his report.
"The doe made its way down the main spillway to where the water flows from the sluice gate spillway. The doe entered the water and crossed under Old State Road, where it had difficulty navigating the swiftly moving water. The doe was clearly suffering and I dispatched it with a slug from the MCS shotgun," the officer said.
Before Conney had a clear shot, he said the deer struggled near the rocks and also was in about 3 feet of water. Conney shot the deer as he stood in some tall underbrush.
"When I had a clear shot, I shot it. It fell onto a bank," he said.
Police released the deer to Thomas E. Drake, of Milan, a passerby who noticed the deer. A different person made the initial call.

Impressive, do you think you could break your 1000 lb squat record by at least 50 lbs now?
Was it to a box?
Reason I ask is you go down under great control, hit a point and dip down pretty quick and recover just as quick. Wondering if that was going down and off the box or just your ability to pop out of the hole.
There was a box.
You scare me Rob. That is an amazing display of raw power and strength!
Rob's not saying it, but we had been working those sets with a brief pause on the box. If you watch the video closely, Rob didn't really pause like we had on previous sets, he was thinking he had to go deeper than the box was, kind of jammed himself at the bottom, went forward, then recovered and stood up.
I tried like crazy to beat him the next set with 1110 (in briefs), but couldn't do it. 1030 was the limit yesterday. It was a good day.

I enjoy sassing, am brutally honest, mix in a bit of self deprecation and most importantly I love to laugh. If you can't laugh at yourself then you need to stop and ask yourself, why?

I believe strongly in those that are close to me and hold them dear, without friends and family, life would be a lot less interesting.

Civil War Sesquicentennial Exhibit
With the cooperation of local and national organizations, Fairfax Station held a special ten-day exhibit from August 25 through September 3, 2012 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the evacuation of the Union wounded at Fairfax Station following the battles of Second Battle of Manassas (Aug 28-30) and Ox Hill (Sept 1, 1862). The exhibit covered different aspects of the first logistically integrated relief effort during the American Civil War.
Several hundred visitors came through the Station's doors for the special event, one of many simultaneous events in the area held as part of ongoing observance of the Civil War sesquicentennial across Fairfax County.
Fairfax Station was a critical point in fighting across Northern Virginia during the Civil War. Over 3,000 wounded were cared for and evacuated from the Station in three days after these two battles. Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, was among a small band of volunteers who helped care for the wounded. Her experiences at this station dramatically shaped her future efforts toward relief work during the civil War and beyond. The events at Fairfax Station foreshadowed the Union Army's formative approach toward support and maintenance of the war effort.
The committee responsible for planning this celebration included Chair Jenee Lindner and Vice Chair Ron Beavers. George Mason University and Washington College interns included James Esson, Matthew Barnes, Alexandra Bradshaw and Ashley Beavers.Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova celebrated the day and learned all about telegraphing from John Hunsaker and Ron Beavers of the Fairfax Rifles, Company D, 17th VA.
A triage site was set up by Patrick O'Neal and Chuck Raugh of the 28th Mass Civil War Reenactment Medical Corps, who operated on Bill Lacy of the 17th VA.
A display of Clara Barton's bodice was loaned and set up by Kimberley Robinson and Neva Sypniewsk of the National Park Service at Glen Echo.
Carol Polkinghorn and Denise Winter of the Dixie Rose Relief Society showed children games of the time. John Murphy was present in his period dress with a top hat.
The Fairfax Museum and Visitors Center and National Museum of Civil War Medicine loaned artifacts and exhibit items for displays. The National Building Museum contributed materials and expertise for construction of special exhibit areas. (August 2012)

Evaluating Traditional Share-Price and Residual Demand Measures of Market Power in the Catsup Industry
In this paper we specify a price determination model which can test both the traditional positive interbrand price ? share hypothesis and the negative intrabrand relationship predicted by residual demand analysis. We evaluate this relationship empirically using three-dimensional panel data from the catsup industry. We find support for both hypothesized relationships, and conclude that market power exists in this industry. Further, we conclude that the results depend critically on the characteristics of the data set to be analyzed.

I have two principal research interests: The first is social perception - the mechanisms mediating the perception of human faces, bodies and actions and how they differ from the processes recruited by other 'generic' classes of stimuli. While considerable research attention has focused on the recognition of identity from static stimuli, the role of dynamic motion cues remains poorly understood. Equally, the mechanisms mediating perception of human bodies have been largely neglected despite a number of parallels with faces.
My second interest relates to mirror neurons, imitation and the visuomotor correspondence problem. Automatic imitation, i.e. the unconscious, unintentional copying of observed actions, is evidence that action observation can excite corresponding motor representations. However, whether these associations are innate or acquired through sensorimotor experience, remains a topic of intense debate. Much of my work with Cecilia Heyes (University of Oxford) has been concerned with testing the claim that mirror neurons acquire their sensorimotor properties through associative learning.
I am always very interested to hear from students (based at City or elsewhere) who are keen to get involved in research relating to social perception or imitation. I usually have a number of ongoing projects that require data collection. This research experience would suit students who are considering applying for PhD funding (or for the Clinical Doctorate) and wish to develop their research skills / publication record.

The "Big Society" plans focus on helping countryside communities to help themselves, for example by setting up their own broadband internet links.
A report by the Carnegie Trust, a charity with an interest in local communities, has said this could leave some villages behind.
Prof Mark Shucksmith, of Newcastle University, who produced the report, said the "bottom-up" policy risks creating a split economy.
"If Big Society means the state standing back and leaving communities to themselves it will lead to a two-speed economy with growing inequalities," he said.
Prof Shucksmith said similar policies in the 1980s led to the countryside becoming more divided.
"When there not much money around – like now – the temptation for government is to leave people in rural communities to themselves. But that was a model that was discredited because it led to great inequalities between places where people had individual capacities and the ability to network and other places where they may have skilled people but they are divided and have fewer resources."
For example the South Witham Broadband Project, set up by a Lincolnshire village within a few miles of the A1, where people have skills in IT and private income, has improved internet access across the area.
But more remote villages need help to form a team and access the grants available to improve their internet connection.
Prof Shucksmith is concerned the divide will deepen as the ageing population in rural areas means that even fewer people are able to fight to retain services.
He said it was not just the case of money. Villages in the Highlands and Islands have thrived with funding from Europe while areas of Cumbria and Northumberland with proactive MPs have managed to get grants from Government.
However in other areas, where the community is increasingly dominated by holiday homes and an ageing population and people have less experience of lobbying MPs or making use of the media, they risk losing their services like the bus, post office and village shop.
He said the Government should be providing help to all communities, as "leaving them to it" will leave some villages behind.
"Rural communities have unequal capacities to adapt and thrive in times of rapid, transformational change, and it is very clear that unless there is capacity-building at community level, inequalities will grow between rural areas. While support can come from foundations, universities and others, government's enabling and fostering role is crucial since only they can provide capacity-building on the scale required and in a systematic way. Government investment in the capacity of local communities should be a priority, even in constrained financial times."
Martyn Evans, Chief Executive of the Carnegie UK Trust, agreed that the countryside is in danger of becoming more divided.
"There is a clear risk that if the state passes power and responsibility to local communities without the necessary resources or support, some will rise to the challenge but many will not, thus creating this 'two-speed' rural economy.
"Some rural communities have the skills, assets, networks and institutional capacity to compete strongly, meanwhile, rural communities who have not yet developed these capacities and networks, may struggle to catch up, losing services and infrastructure, and become less able to contribute to rebalancing and renewing the economy."
The Government insist they are doing more to help the countryside through the new 'rural contract'.
"It is vital that the people who live and work in rural communities have the power to shape their future. We are making sure that every rural area has the support needed for economic growth and a thriving rural community."

The human mind is amazing. The brain can run numerous functions simultaneously. If you have every prayed the way some Moslems and some Christians do with prayer beads, you find that while reciting a prayer formula, you are reflecting on some deep spiritual matter, and you are also controlling the beads is your hands.
These are all conscious, voluntary acts. Alongside of these, the brain is also continually directing numerous involuntary acts such as the beating of the heart and maintenance of blood flow, breathing, digestion of food, production of hormones and many functions that scientists do not know about and may never get to know about. At any time, the brain is capable of carrying out numerous compatible functions.
The brain unifies various aspects of life. If the brain is exhausted by some mental process such as prolonged intense accounting, intellectual work, or a learning exercise, this exhaustion might rub off on some other life processes controlled by the brain such as loving one's spouse, paying attention to the kids, relating well with colleagues, or treating a servant politely. Sometimes a person presents a shocking attitude, not deliberately, but as a reflection of mental exhaustion.
In a competitive, fast-paced world, we will always be faced with schedules, deadlines, emergencies, opportunities that must be snatched, problems that need solving, threats that make us unable to be at ease, and many processes that can precipitate mental exhaustion. We always need to be able to unwind otherwise other aspects of life can become casualties of the mental exhaustion.
Taking breaks, resting, sleeping, changing activities to more physical activities, avoiding stressors, and having hobbies are some ways in which we can counteract mental exhaustion.
General exhaustion including mental and bodily exhaustion or bodily exhaustion alone can result in stupor, a state of spent energies and unresponsiveness. However, unlike bodily exhaustion, over-activity of mental function can present in a state of hyperactivity of the nerves and hormones, restlessness, irritability, anxiety, and inability to sleep or insomnia. The human mind may get to a stage that it cannot recover calmness on its own. Peace can be acquired from outside of us, e.g. through prayer, from a supernatural source, or by the support of another person. Some persons have regained their balance by receiving counselling from appropriate experts.
Certain drugs can tranquilize (can cause calmness). Many of them are dangerous drugs that should not be used without prescription by a doctor. They generally depress the brain. Tranquilizers are used in psychiatry. Drugs that pharmacologists refer to as major tranquilizers are drugs that promote behavioural tranquillity (emotional calmness) without sedating effects. They are used in psychotic disorders and primarily affect the mental state or mental functioning of a person. A person with chronic mental exhaustion can develop a mental disorder that may necessitate clinical attention. A psychiatrist would need to assess the mental state and treat the patient as needed or as possible.
Some people use drugs called sedatives, anxiolytics, and hypnotics. Sedatives and anxiolytics are drugs that produce drug-induced calmness by depressing brain and nerve functions and excitement. Anxiolytics reverse anxiety and anti-anxiety drugs block anxiety build-up. Hypnotics enhance the initiation or maintenance of sleep. Persons that are often under high pressure to perform beyond the ordinary (celebrities, executives, etc.) tend to resort to these drugs to help them calm down or sleep after a period of stress. Overdose of such drugs leads to excessive depression of the brain and central nervous system. Many drugs in these categories can easily be abused and have been involved in accidental coma and deaths from overdose, from drug interactions with other drugs or foods that the user takes simultaneously, or simply from inadvertent risks taken in the use of these drugs.
Alcohol in a moderate amount can calm one down and help relaxation. Cannabis (marijuana) also produces this kind of effect in moderate amounts. Nicotine (from tobacco) also has a calming effect. There are many over-the-counter drugs that do not require a doctor's prescription and are used to induce calmness or sleep, e.g., certain anithistamines. Many popularly used sedative and hypnotic drugs belong to the class of drugs called benzodiazepines which includes Valium®, Klonopin, Prosom®, Rohypnol®, Ativan®, Librium®, Restoril, and Xanax (all trade names). Some of them may be purchased without a prescription. One should not use these drugs chronically because one would become dependent (feeling one needs them to be normal) and would suffer from withdrawal symptoms if one lacks access to such drugs.
For people who have to routinely go through mental tiredness because of the nature of their occupation, the best remedies include taking breaks to rest, sandwiching mental work with physical activity (such as watching television, cooking, gardening, cleaning, sports or games, making phone calls), and sleeping well (routinely and adequately). Drugs are a last resort when things have gone out of control.

War worm
hi! this worm is a gaurdian. It is for a turn based strategy game. It is simple in design because we are using low poly figures. but thats beside the point. I have two versions posted .the bottom one has an orange glow.
the problem is, I know it should be there. I just don't know if it looks o.k.
any opinions would be much appreciated.

Its pretty nice, and I agree with panda about the glow. I also think the sky lacks a certain quality that would make this piece more atmospheric. Some rendering and misty diffusion of the clouds maybe. Its also hard to tell if there is electrical light in the backgroud, or merely a slit of moon/sun light. Cool scales and legs on that thing tho.
September 9th, 2005 #5
mr. punch I think the worm is inside a cave, with the cave opening in the background. and a whole where the light is coming through....at least thats the way i drew it. but the way you described it, it does look like a sky.

I see it now. That actually looks pretty neat as a cavern. But its confusing. I'm not too sure what I'd suggest, but I'll think about it. Whats the actual size of the piece?

Looking to buy a present for someone. I'd like to keep it under $500 and am looking for something that will run SW:TOR. Obviously for the price I am not expecting a top of the line gaming computer, but just something that will do a decent job if we turn down some settings.
One I was looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834101252
I'm not very familiar with the processor...

Note: PCs using a built-in graphical chipset are recommended to have 2GB of RAM.
Star Wars: The Old Republic requires a video card that has a minimum of 256MB of on-board RAM as well as support for Shader 3.0 or better. Examples include:
the intergated bideo card on the laptop shoulf be enoguhg i thing i would ask around the forums on the main website
You will be able to run the game just fine based on the minimum requirements they listed. Though, you might have to play on low to medium settings. The processor is a quad core APU. Basically it is a quad core processor with the graphics integrated onto the CPU.
You can see how well the it performs on a variety of games here (scroll down) http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6520G.55734.0.html
You can read more about the processor here http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-A-Series-A6-3400M-Notebook-Processor.55753.0.html
I think it is a good laptop for $500.
Looking at that laptop I first thought it looked like an amazing find, but then I found out the grapics processor uses integrated memory on it instead of dedicated and scores 4000 in 3dmark06 which isnt going to cut it(the new intell 3000 integrated graphics scores higher then that on new sandy bridge processors). I have a Ideapad Y460 that scores close to 9k in 3dmark06 and can reach 10, and while it runs everything great including rift,crysis2 and other demanding games I wouldnt go much lower then the ati radeon 5650m in it. There are alot of choices you can find for around your budgest if you are willing to put the effort in allthough the sub 500$ range is harder then say sub 600$.
Im 100% positive you could get an kick ass Dell XPS 15 on black friday for around 550$ or so with a great graphics solution, although it would be just a nvidia gt540m that would play swtor very well.
Also on black friday are te ideapads, Y470 and p460, on black friday you would be able to get those for a reasonable price also and they got some punch with nvidia 550.
Honestly if your willing to go the extrea step, getting something like this is going to benefit who ever recieves it a great deal, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246153, your really never going to get much of a better deal in my eyes then this. Its same graphics solution thats in the m14x, its very high powerd laptop that will be able to run the newest games with dx11 technoligy for years to come. Even on black friday you will be hard pressed to get a better deal then this.
The only other alternative is to find some deals on ebay which is spotty at best, I bought a alienware years back from there and it was a terrible nightmare to deal with cause I spend more then 2k on it and at the the time there was no support but I suppose you might have better luck since alienware is owned by dell now and warrentys are transferable. Search for alienware, you will be able to find many sub 500$ notebooks on ebay though I would assume most of those warrenties would be over by now.

I would wait till dec to even get a laptop they will be getting more powerful and AMD is putting more APUs in laptops this means the videocard be upgradable APU = cpu/gpu all in one

The Gateway laptop is easily the best you're going to get on a $500 budget. As you might expect, it's not likely to run the game well at max settings. But the game should be smoothly playable at low to moderate settings, depending on how demanding the game is. If the game won't run smoothly even at low settings, then it will be a case of a badly coded game, not insufficient hardware.
Do note that it's very much a budget model. 1066 MHz memory rather than 1333 MHz will hurt. So will a 5400 RPM hard drive.
If you're inclined to tinker, you might want to try undervolting the processor, which will allow a more aggressive turbo boost (and thus better processor performance) within the same 35 W TDP. The laptop might not have the BIOS options available to let you try that, but if you can, it's a free performance boost. If you undervolt the processor too far, you could make it crash (e.g., blue screen of death) under heavy loads, but if you undervolt it and do a stress test and it doesn't crash, then it's fine. There's zero risk of damaging the processor by undervolting it, as that decreases the stress on it.
"You can see how well the it performs on a variety of games here (scroll down) http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6520G.55734.0.html"
Note the huge margin of error that they give. That's not an accident. You can cripple the Radeon HD 6520G integrated graphics by mismatching the memory channels or even leaving one memory channel completely vacant. A lot of laptops do exactly that. The Gateway laptop that the original poster linked does not do that, however, so it will likely tend to perform quite a bit better than the average as found on that site. It won't be at the high end of the range, however; that would take 1333 MHz memory instead.
The rest of this post is dedicated to pointing out that Eycel is wrong.
"then I found out the grapics processor uses integrated memorry on it instead of dedicated"
Congratulations. That's the whole point of Llano.
"scores 4000 in 3dmark06 which isnt going to cut it(the new intell 3000 integrated graphics scores higher then that on new sandy bridge processors)."
Wait, you prefer Intel graphics to Llano? Even lower bins of Llano destroy Intel HD 3000 graphics in every metric that matters (e.g., pretty much any game that ever has existed or ever will). Intel will claim that Sandy Bridge wins at video transcoding, but I say that's not a metric that matters.
"I wouldnt go much lower then the ati radeon 5650m in it."
For starters, there is no such card. you might mean a Mobility Radeon HD 5650. AMD didn't go to the M at the end until the 6000 series.
Next, the graphics portion of Llano integrated graphics is nearly the same as that of the Mobility Radeon HD 5650. Llano gets UVD3 rather than UVD2, but that's better, not worse. One big difference is that the A6 bins are salvage parts that disable one of the five SIMD engines, so you lose some performance there. It's clocked a little lower, and uses system memory rather than having its own dedicated memory. It's made on a different process node, but that means much lower power consumption for Llano.
So while Radeon HD 6520G is slower than Mobility Radeon HD 5650, it's not going to be a huge gap. Maybe 20-30% or so.
"Im 100% positive you could get an kick ass Dell XPS 15 on black friday for around 550$ or so with a great graphics solution, although it would be just a nvidia gt540m that would play swtor very well."
Dell says that the Dell XPS 15 starts at $900. And that's without the GeForce GT 540M. If you want that, it's an extra $100. That manages to double the price tag in exchange for maybe 50% faster graphics. The price tag isn't the only problem, though, as that also perhaps doubles the power consumption under heavy loads. If Dell uses discrete switchable graphics, then you get all the driver nightmares that causes. And if they don't, then the battery life will be awful. Llano completely avoids both of those problems.
"Honestly if your willing to go the extrea step, getting something like this is going to benefit who ever recieves it a great deal, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834246153, your really never going to get much of a better deal in my eyes then this."
That's $700. That doesn't fit a $500 budget very well. And that also sticks you with all of the power consumption and either driver or battery life problems of the previous laptop that you mentioned.
"Its same graphics solution thats in the m14x,"
Umm, yikes. No, it's not the same graphics. It's not even remotely similar graphics. Different GPU die, different number of shaders, different number of TMUs, different number of ROPs, different core clock speed, different memory bus width, different type of video memory, different amount of video memory, different memory clock speed, different form factor, etc. Well, they're both of the Fermi architecture and built on the same process node, but that's about all that they have in common.
What, you didn't realize that there are two completely different, unrelated cards that Nvidia brands as GeForce GT 555M? Chalk up another win for deceptive Nvidia marketing.
"its very high powerd laptop that will be able to run the newest games with dx11 technoligy for years to come."
Sure, it will run DirectX 11 games. But expect to have to turn off nearly all of the features specific to DirectX 10 or 11 in order to make them playable. Either of the cards that Nvidia brands as a GeForce GT 555M is considerably faster than Radeon HD 6520G integrated graphics. But probably not even twice as fast.
I was going to wisecrack about it only being high powered if you're talking about power consumption, but it isn't even that, either. Nvidia doesn't give a TDP on either of its GeForce GT 555M cards, but they're probably around 30-40 W. The processor is 35 or 45 W, depending on which of the models you've talked about. That adds up to quite a bit. An A6-3400M is 35 W for the processor and graphics together, meaning about half of the power consumption of either of the laptops you've brought up when under heavy loads. Now, you do lose some performance along with the lower power consumption, but Llano still offers untouchable performance per watt.

For laptops you get much more out of your money at $700 than $500 though if you can go a bit higher.

I'm not sure there is such thing, OP...
Better buy it closer to release and save more money or even wait after release.
Hitting minimal requirements doesn't mean enjoyable gameplay experience (true for all games).
"Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted.
Thanks for the replies guys. I really do not want to go past $500 as it's basicly a gift for an 8 year old. I found the laptop I linked in the OP for $425 on sale so as long as everyone agrees it will run SW:TOR as long as we turn down the settings to low/med I think I'm going to go ahead and order. I was mainly concerned about the CPU as I didn;t know anything about it and 1.4GHz seemed pretty slow. From what I have read it's a pretty decent chip (for it's cost).

Check the dell outlets, and lenovo outlet(the resertified and refurbished systems), call some of there reps and see what they can do for you, tell them your situation, ask about black friday etc...

From what I have read, it's graphics chip while integrated, is actually better than many discrete chips in the low-mid price range. If you see something better under $500 I'm all ears though!

just think about it though, Iv never read anyone anywhere playing a brand new mmo with integrated graphics ever. I dont think it will work, let alone on an older game. The closest thing Iv ever read, and iv read alot is something like the old Z model sony vaios with dedicated nvidia geforce GT 330m cards and even then the game was terribly slow and stuttery not in any way worth using.

Any modern PC based chip with a current version of Direct X will run ths game the question is what is your idea of playable framerates? Mine are no less than 60fps with 50 to 60 players on screen which you will not achieve on a sub 500 dollar laptop.

Just something like this would be better then what you posted, http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-1570MRB-15-6-Inch-Laptop/dp/B004EWEZNS/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1316964749&sr=1-4 cause at least the processor in it is half way decent.
Ok heres something, stuido 17 with dedicated graphics and duo core, http://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlineSales/Online/SecondaryInventorySearch.aspx?rn=1694&SC=lowToHigh&c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh. I wouldnt settle for this though.
Just check the outlet there, there are hundreads of laptops to choose from, there are laptops in here under 550$ that will play SWTOR.
Ahh I guess there isnt really much in the outlet. Nothing I would consider to buy under even 600.
This right here is the best laptop PERIOD that you can buy for less than $500. Hurry up and snag one while you can, they are selling quickly and fast. I just bought one a few weeks ago at Best Buy and got the last one. I have been able to run games with no problems. Very nice laptop for the price and for $30 more you can upgrade to 8 gigs of ddr3 ram just pop in another stick. It comes with one stick of 4 gigs ddr3 ram. You can only buy these at best buy. This has the new dual gpu. Its got a built in gpu tied in with the CPU along with a dedicated 1 gig video card that can be combined to 1.5 gig video. The sticker on my laptop says Radeon HD 6720 G2

Yea tell me about it as soon as I found out about that series of laptop I went apesh*t and had to have one. I did tons of laptop research weeks before buying a laptop I was looking for a laptop that could run newer games and was the best bang for the buck and stumbled across it. Ive ran games like Bioshock, Bad Company 2, Fallen Earth etc all on medium to high settings no problems. I dare say that this will also run Battlefield 3 when it comes out at least on low to medium settings and also will run SWTOR for sure.
Another thing Best Buy will NOT ship these from there website you have to pick one up at a store. I had to drive an hour and 1/2 to get this laptop because there was no Best Buy in my area.
