Friends University and Newman University are working together to open the door to a world of career opportunities at the Career Fair on Highway 54 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. March 25 in the Casado Campus Center's McKay Gymnasium at Friends University.
The fair is open to everyone, but it is specifically targeted toward students and alumni, said Amy Dible, director of Campus and Career Transitions at Friends University.
"Most employers for this fair are looking for students in school for internships or candidates with degrees," she said.
While celebrating their well-deserved achievements, Friends University graduates and their families may notice several changes in commencement ceremonies this May. Friends University will offer four ceremonies this year, including two ceremonies in Wichita and ceremonies at the northeast locations.
The academic excellence offered within the walls of Friends University will soon extend beyond the borders of Kansas. Beginning in March 2010, the University will offer an online-learning option for its Organizational Management and Leadership (OML) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs. The Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) and Master of Management Information Systems (MMIS) online programs are scheduled to start in June 2010.
Local high-school students are invited to participate in the fifth annual Art Challenge at Friends University from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 5.Students will have the chance to participate in several professional artist workshops and competitions, including Art Masterpiece Chalk Mural challenge, Ad Layout Computer challenge, Quick Draw challenge and Who Wants to be an Art Scholar challenge.
A nationally honored expert of economics will discuss the economic recovery efforts that have followed the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina. Dr. Emily Chamlee-Wright, professor of economics at Beloit College, will speak at 7 p.m. March 2 in the Penn Science Building, room 100. Her lecture is the second in the four-part Law, Liberty and the Market lecture series, which is funded by the Fred C. and Mary R. Koch Foundation. The lecture will be titled "The Economic and Social Recovery from Disaster: Lessons Learned from Katrina."
Friends University is partnering with Young Entrepreneurs of Kansas (YEK) to encourage high-school students to pursue their dreams through higher education. Students who are involved with YEK have had the opportunity to apply for a $5,000 scholarship at Friends University. High-school students who are interested in applying for the scholarship in the future can get more information at www.yeks.org.
As part of their Cherry Carnival Week, Friends University welcomes students, staff, faculty, alumni and their families to attend the 12th annual Chili Cook-off from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, in the Garvey P.E. Center Multipurpose Room. This free event has become popular in the campus community with more than 900 attendees last year. Participants can sample each booth's chili and vote on best theme and best chili as well as snack on hot dogs, beverages and ice cream.
Several Friends University education students were awarded honors by prestigious Kansas organizations in the fall.

Keller was an influential author, lecturer, and political activist, as stated by the Hartford Courant. Best known for overcoming the adversity of being blind and deaf, Keller became the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing Keller to learn how to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play, "The Miracle Worker." Keller died in her sleep at her home in Easton.

In this book, thirteen noted evangelical theologians discuss, fairly but clearly, the continuity/discontinuity debate in regard to six basic categories: theological systems, hermeneutics, salvation, the Law of God, the people of God, and kingdom promises.Covering much more than the differences between Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism, this work of distinguished evangelical scholarship will fuel much profitable study and discussion.

Originally written on Project Spurs | Last updated 1/30/13
The San Antonio Spurs had to play three games in a row without their head coach. Gregg Popovich was out with the flu, but in true Spurs fashion, the team didn't miss a beat. They won all three games and showed why Coach Pop doesn't need to necessarily be on the bench to help the team win. His way of thinking is ingrained in everyone, from the players down to every member of the coaching staff. Even more impressive was the fact that the Spurs won without Tim Duncan during that stretch as well. But that's what is so special about this team. Whether it's a teammate or a coach, the rest of the Spurs are experts at picking up the slack. After the win against Phoenix, Coach Pop was quick to give credit where it was due. He praised the coaching staff for filling in admirably in his absence and credits the system he's installed for keeping the Spurs rolling on an eight-game win streak and taking the top overall spot in the NBA. Even though the Spurs will lose a legend when Popovich finally decides to retire, it's nice to know that his legacy will live on through all that he's taught to the team. In the second part of the interview, Pop talks about Duncan's status for tonight's game against the Charlotte Bobcats. It seems like TD is still questionable, so we can't be sure when we'll see him on the floor again.

31 year old man | Orlando, FL, USA | Seeking women 21-32 within 40 miles
Laid back, drama free guy looking for the same. Tired of the games and drama, just looking for something simple with someone simple.
I am a simple guy with simple tastes. Not high maintenance and easy to please. I am thankful to have a good job, good family and I am looking for someone to share good times with. Tired of finding people who are liars, dishonest and like to play games. I love to laugh and enjoy myself wherever I am. Looking for someone who is on my level and wants something real, yet simple. Definitely looking for an LTR or more. If that's you, drop me a line.

Middle of the Road
I like the local lounge scene more than going to clubs these days. Places that are more relaxed and chill, where you can actually hear someone speak. The beach is always good, or pretty much anywhere on the coast.
Music wise I am open to anything besides country. I love dramas or action movies and shows. I love good food, although I am not much of a red meat fan. But I'm always open to suggestions.
I love watching good movies and I am a big sports fan. I watch the occasional good sitcom as well. Love comedies as well. Anything that sounds fun is always a possibility.
I haven't gotten into any good books lately, but i am more of a periodical person anyway. I love good magazines and enjoy reading the newspaper.

There are 11 residential homes, one commercial property – a motel – and four pieces of land up for auction, but Morabito expects more to be added.
When asking buyers how much they're willing to spend on a home, Morabito said that he's increasingly finding customers who are looking to spend an average of $1.5 million, even if they could afford a home for millions more.
"People are saying I'm going to buy what I can but I'm not going to put myself on the line," he said. "I've never heard people say that before."
Marabito said that he expects the majority of bids to come in at the last minute on Sunday evening, and said that the decision to put the auction online has paid off in terms of reaching the greatest number of clients.
"We're reaching the world," he said. "I've had inquiries from England, Germany and even Australia."
"The real buyers right now are between 30 and 50 years old," said Marabito. "And all of them have been brought up on computers, so this online auction is not alien to them."
Marabito said that most of the buyers are not necessarily celebrity clientele but are actually individuals who still work in finance.

Twist Collective Blog
A Knitter's Guide to Polyvore
by Marnie MacLean, from a series of original posts in the Ravelry Twist Collective forum.
If you read the Twist Collective Blog regularly, you've seen the Style Notebook posts where Julia uses a site called Polyvore to suggest styling options for the many beautiful patterns Twist offers. I've gotten sucked into the fun and will be offering posts on my blog ways you might work some of my designs into your own wardrobe (if you happen to share my weird sense of style). I absolutely love the way Julia and Kate style my pieces for the magazine, but I also think it's really fun to see pieces in another context. Here's how I play with Polyvore, and now you can too. I'll say that I found Polyvore a little hard to use at first, a little unintuitive, but once you get it, it's fun.
Step 1:
Step 3:
Step 4:
For people who want to know how to clip a new image to polyvore, here's a very simple walk-through.
Step A:
Go to the bottom of any Polyvore page and choose "Clipper." Drag the "Clip to Polyvore" text to your toolbar simply using your mouse to do so.
Step B:
Navigate to an image you want to clip. You cannot clip anything from Flickr. You can use items you've personally loaded into Ravelry or your blog. Click the Polyvore bookmark and a box will appear
Step C:
Click on an image you want to clip. Note that in Ravelry, the thumbnail will pop up into a larger image and you will have to click that so it's 2 clicks in Ravelry, 1 click in most other places.
Step D:
Click as many images as you like and add names and tags.
Step E:
Go back to Polyvore and admire your handywork!
Proceed with abandon!

Design Process: Courting Sophia
Today's post is written by Kat Coyle and is cross posted from her own blog which you can find here. This is Kat's third design for Twist Collective. She also designed Petal and Ardent.
The new Twist Collective came out last week, and it's filled with beautiful knitting patterns. I'm so, so, so, pleased to be a part of it. My shawl pattern Courting Sophia is one of a few gorgeous lace shawl and scarf patterns. It's great to have a nice variety of lace patterns to choose from. My piece was inspired by hand woven lace shawls from Mexico, fairy tales and the art knitting of Mary Walker Phillips .
The photo above is from Twist Collective. Photo copyright Caroline Bergeron.
As I recall the theme mentioned with the submission page had something to do with parties. In my imagination I pictured a landscape with wispy trees, lacy fences, and strings of lights. I tried to convey the landscape of romance at a summer party.
Shawl and skirt image from Self Portrait in a Velvet Dress, a book of Frida Kahlo's wardrobe beautifully photographed and catalogued for the world to admire.
The lovely, golden yarn, Laci from Blue Moon Fiber Arts, in 24-karat color way, no less, adds to the effect of a deep summer glow
After the issue came out, I got excited to knit another Courting Sophia. Lately, I've become obsessed with red.
After knitting a few rows, I thought it would be great fun to add more colors! In my mind, the mohair stripes with pink and white triangles represent the smoggy, horizon with mountains landscape of Los Angeles.
Here is my palette. A wide assortment of wool, mohair and alpaca yarns, with one mystery glitzy thread. Metallics used sparingly are like flashes of light.
More inspiration from Frida Kahlo's closet.
Twist Tidbits
Julia here. Since I'm in a sharing mood, I thought I'd tell you about some of the little things I've seen around the knitting world lately that have made me smile. If you follow our Twitter feed, you may recognize a few of them, with my apologies.
1) A few weeks ago when I went to the Hub Mills Store to fondle the new Classic Elite Yarns, like the Verde Collection Chesapeake with which we had Tonia Barry knit her gorgeous Goose Rocks (I love the green colorway, especially). I also fell in love with these little zippered "yarn cases" from a new-to-me source, Walker Bags (scroll down the page for the yarn case). The mesh is a little bit rigid and smooth and stands up like a charm, and all the inside seams are finished with tape. I bought a pink one for sock knitting, but I currently have it assigned to a baby sweater I'm making for my nephew.
2) The kick-ass-cool and competent Astrid from the Dreamworks animated movie How to Train Your Dragon wears a jersey I am almost certain is made from nalbinding. I want to congratulate whoever it was in the Dreamworks studio who figured that one out. I wonder if they are a knitter (or a nalbinder). (Image of Astrid and voice talent America Ferrera borrowed from IMDB).
3) Something else I saw recently in my local yarn store rounds were these beautiful (shawl) pins made by Bonnie Bishoff. These are engineered really well so that they actually stay "hooked", and the clever little ring that ensures such security doubles as a place to hang your reading glasses. You know, if you need such a thing. Contact Yarns in the Farms if you're enchanted by them the way I was.
4) Next week we have a few more Designers sharing their design processes with us, and a few reader-submitted Style Notebook ideas for some of the sweaters from the most recent issue. Have a great weekend.
Design Process: Sweetgrass
Sarah Fama offers us this look at her first Twist Collective design, Sweetgrass. This entry is cross posted from her blog.
I have a new sock pattern out -- Sweetgrass, featured in the current issue of Twist Collective. (I may or may not have hyperventilated and done a totally dorky happy dance when I first found out the pattern was accepted. Twist rocks.)
The design started out with a stitch in a Japanese stitch dictionary. It was one of those "oh, that's cute, but what if I tinkered with it a bit, like this?" moments. I'm a sucker for stitch patterns with movement in them, and I loved how the ribbing seems to sway back and forth. This kind of stitch seems to play nice with both solid and variegated yarns. Here's a photo of the sample I used for the Twist submission -- it's in Malabrigo Sock in "Impressionist Sky." Since Twist does e-mail submissions, I was able to keep the sample and finish knitting the pair for myself. I've worn them a lot.
I loved knitting the first pair so much, I cast on for a second pair using Wollmeise sock yarn, in the Indisch Rot colorway. It's a really hard color to photograph!
So I've knit two and a half pairs, counting the Twist sample, and I'm still not tired of the pattern. I think that's a good sign.
More New Books for Spring
In the recent trend of knitting books that promise to be the last word on whatever you please in the ways of working with yarn, a few actually make good on their promise to the knitter's pursuit of excellence.
Embedded in the title of Power Cables: the Ultimate Guide to Knitting Inventive Cables are all the clues you need to know that here is a book that will both coddle the new cable knitter and intrigue even the experienced Aran accumulator. Here are cables expected and surprising, simple and "phony", rendered in brioche or intarsia, with suitable applications for every new idea guaranteed to open your switch stitching horizons. The Staghorn Cabled Coat is an inspiring application of a reversible (and beautiful) cable, and the Honeycomb V-Neck Pullover from the cover is a fresh take on the Aran sensibility. The stoles and scarves are remarkable for their wearability and the quality of enjoyment they promise to the knitter. Not everything included is indispensable, but who knows when you might require a resource for intarsia cables?
In the age of the internet, knitters seeking wider adventures in technique face the vexing barrier of language. Some of the best teachers hail from other linguistic climes, and few knitters have the heart or patience for the inadequacies of knitting glossaries. I would be the first person to sign up for a class in Finnish or German for knitters, but who will host such a seminar? (I appeal to you.)
Adrienne Martini's terrific new memoir, Sweater Quest, My Year of Knitting Dangerously is exactly the sort of book I have become suspicious of lately, and I cracked it open not expecting to give it more than the obligatory glance. I am a wee bit fatigued by knitting-circle-as-support-group titles that seek to cash in on knitter's supposed susceptibility to buy anything that casts a pop-cultural eye in our direction. If I actually enjoyed such offerings, I would probably be more charitable in general, but while I have been known to buy a movie ticket just to see if the sweaters in Dan in Real Life were any good (meh, and not even handknit), two hours of my life I begrudge no one if I can knock out 40 rows on a sock in the dark. But a book is a possible threat to knitting time itself (don't preach to me your tales of Audible, I've tried it with varied satisfaction), so a book must be good.

UTEl Paso professor BENJAMIN ALIRE SAENZ's author bio dubs him a fronterizo, "a person of the border," and his sweetly gritty novel SAMMY AND JULIANA IN HOLLYWOOD (Cinco Puntos Press) is indeed a loving tribute to Chicano culture in the Mexican-American borderlands. Sixteen-year-old Sammy Santos lacks street savvy but wields enough brainpower to earn his place in the pecking order of Hollywood, a rough-and-tumble barrio outside Las Cruces, New Mexico. Against a sixties time-warp tableau, Sammy loves and loses the soulful Juliana while he and his pals act out as bored kids are wont to do—smoking, drinking, and test-driving their brand-new hormones. Sammy and Juliana is the kind of grit lit teens love, a young-adult novel that might give the genre a good name.

A Chromebook is a laptop of a different breed. Instead of Windows or Mac OS, Chromebooks run Google's Chrome OS. These machines are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents living in the cloud. As a result, these clamshells don't have a ton of onboard memory, but they don't have very large price tags, either.
Low prices and Windows 8 confusion have many people considering a Chromebook. In fact, according to ABI Research, Chromebook shipments doubled in 2014. But is a Chromebook right for you? And how do you pick the best model for your needs and budget?
Our Chromebook buying guide has the answers to these and other questions.
Because Chromebooks run Chrome OS, Google's operating system, they rely heavily on Google's suite of applications. Although you can log in to Chrome OS as a guest, users should log in to the system with Google credentials in order to have the best experience.
MORE: Best Chromebooks Now
Chromebooks are optimized for Google's apps, such as Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Drive. This deep integration can be either positive or negative, depending on how you use a PC. Getting set up on a Chromebook will be easy if you already use Google's services for your email, calendar and documents. However, if you use other popular services — such as Microsoft Outlook, AIM or Yahoo Mail — it might take some time to get adjusted to Google's OS.
Unfortunately, the Microsoft Office suite isn't available on Chromebooks, but that doesn't mean that you won't be able to work on your files. Microsoft Web Apps, the free cloud version of Office, is compatible with Chromebooks, and you can always use the native Google Drive to open and edit documents and spreadsheets. With Drive, users can create everything from text documents to spreadsheets and presentations. Plus, all of your old Microsoft Word documents and PowerPoint presentations can be imported directly into Drive, allowing you to work on your files.
But it may be best to stick with Microsoft Web Apps if you already have a lot of Office files that you're bringing over to your Chromebook. There are often formatting issues when importing third-party documents into Drive, so the first few minutes of work may involve fixing anything that's broken. Fortunately, Google Drive allows you to save documents to Microsoft formats, so you'll still be able to share files with non-Chromebook users.
Another issue that could influence your Chromebook buying decision is the availability of Internet connectivity. Chromebooks are designed to rely heavily on the Internet, which means that many apps simply won't work if you're out of Wi-Fi range. There are a growing number of "offline" Chrome apps that can work without Internet connectivity, including Gmail and Google Drive.
You'll still be able to play games on the Chromebook, but you'll be limited to the games available in the Chrome Web store. Classics such as Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are there, but you won't have the same title selection as you would on a Windows machine or a MacBook. Chromebooks generally have limited graphics processing power, so even if a game such as "BioShock Infinite" were available, it would not play smoothly on these notebooks.
The 11.6-inch Chromebooks, such as the Acer C720 and Samsung Chromebook 2, are on the smaller side. These models are generally less than 3 pounds, making them the most portable — and great options for kids. However, to some people, the screen size and keyboards will seem cramped.
Those looking for more real estate for Web surfing, getting work done, watching movies and playing games can pick up a 13.3-inch Chromebook like the Acer Chromebook 13 or the Toshiba Chromebook 2. The biggest Chromebook so far is the 14-inch HP Chromebook 14, but you won't find a 15- or 17-inch model yet.
Because Chromebooks are meant primarily for online use, the specs aren't as important as they are for Windows laptops, but you'll still want to know how much power and storage you're getting for your money. Here's a quick guide.
The processor and amount of RAM will determine how smoothly your Chromebook performs, especially when you have multiple tabs open and you're streaming video or playing games.
Intel Celeron chips provide a decent amount of pep, but if you want even more speed, you can find models with a Core i3 CPU.11. Such machines offer long battery life and responsive behavior.
The Samsung Chromebook 2 13.3-inch has the company's own Exynos 5 CPU with 4GB of RAM under the hood. It provided solid performance but trailed Intel's Celeron chip in Web page load time and graphics performance.
Nvidia also has its own chip — the Tegra K1 — which currently only powers the Acer Chromebook 13. This processor offers excellent graphics performance.
When it comes to RAM, 2GB is fairly standard for a Chromebook, but you'll find some models with 4GB on board. Opt for 4GB if you're a heavy multitasker, but expect to pay $250 or more.
All Chromebooks come with at least 16GB of onboard storage, and that's likely all you'll need, because these systems aren't designed to download large applications or store tons of media. Plus, with every Chromebook purchase, Google gives you 100GB of free Google Drive storage for two years. Spring for 32GB only if you plan to download and use many offline apps.
The size of the screen isn't the only thing that matters. Lower-end Chromebooks sport 1366 x 768-pixel displays, which is fine for most tasks. But if you want sharper images, video and graphics, spring for a full-HD display (1920 x 1080 pixels). You'll pay anywhere from $50 to $100 more, although you can find some full-HD models for less.
Windows 8 laptops have popularized touch screens in laptops, but that doesn't mean you can't get the same functionality in a Chromebook. You just have to know which one to get — and expect to pay about a $100 premium. The $299 Lenovo IdeaPad N20P features a reversible screen like the ones you'll find on some of the company's Window's Yoga machines. The $299 Acer Chromebook C720p also features a touch screen. However, there aren't many apps that take full advantage of the touch capabilities.
One trait almost all Chromebooks have in common is exceptional battery life. Some last longer than others, but of the 13 Chromebooks we've reviewed in the last couple of years, we've seen an average of 8 hours and 13 minutes of endurance on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which involves continuous surfing over Wi-Fi. On the top end, you'll notice standouts like the Dell Chromebook 11's runtime of 14:37. We recommend shooting for at least 7 hours of juice; check out our full reviews for battery test results.
There's a pretty narrow price range for Chromebooks. At the low end, you can pick up the $199 Acer Chromebook C720P, which has an 11-inch HD display and 2GB of RAM. On the other end of the spectrum is the $329 Samsung Chromebook 2, which sports a larger 13-inch full-HD display with 4GB of RAM.
The bottom line is that Chromebooks are incredibly affordable and capable, and there's more variety now in screen sizes and specs. Microsoft is fighting back with low-cost Windows laptops like the HP Stream 11 and Stream 13, but if you're looking for a simple way to get online and prefer Google's services, you'll be happy with a Chromebook.
While you touched on some aspects of the Chromebooks, you failed to mention that Microsoft Apps are available on Chromebooks via the Office Apps extension. That uses the same version of Excel, Word, PowerPoint and One Note as Skydrive. For many users, direct MS Office app access is a great alternative to the full MS Office Suite or Google Docs.
In addition, you didn't mention that the 16GB drives are solid state drives (SSD's – no moving parts), which gives a great deal of speed to the systems in exchange for smaller storage. Since Chromebooks come with 100GB of Google Drive space, free for 2 years, the drive space becomes a little less concerning for those willing to use the cloud for storage.
While not for everyone, Chromebooks and Chrome OS are great solutions for those of us who rely on the web for so much of our computer use. Offline apps are growing as well.
I would suggest that the reader in question give Google docs a workout before making a decision. If the word processing and the presentation applications will work for her,needs then she might be very happy with it. I bought the $199 Acer and wouldn't trade it for a high end Windows laptop if someone offered to swap with me. In fact, if ChromeOS continues to be developed and supported, our current Windows 7 desktop will be our last Windows machine. Research is key, though. I read every review I could find, including pages and pages of user reviews for each of the available models. It was worth the time, because the only surprises I've had were pleasant ones.
For an average user Chrome OS is like a web browser. You can install these so called applications, but they are quite limited. And it is not very surprising, because technically they are just extensions for Chrome browser. Maybe for some people a Chromebook is all they need, but for the most a computer with just a web browser is probably insufficient.
I personally wouldn't own one but I've bought two of them, one for my mom (the original Acer) and one for my sister (the latest Samsung).
Even though being online all the time is often raised as a concern you need to ask yourself how often you're not online.
As for the rest of it, there's never any OS upgrade cost or headaches (it's always the latest version), there's never any virus cost or headaches, there's rarely if ever any support necessary.
As another poster mentioned if you really need MS Office, MS now has it's stuff online as well.
The only pressing question is do you need software that isn't offered through the web. That's why I don't own one – I need a few programs that aren't industrial strength enough for being web based – yet.
Be wary of people who are critical of Chromebooks. I would venture to say most have not actually used one and are rendering their judgment based on their opinion and from experience. I have a MacBook Air. While the Chromebook does not feel quite as polished as my Mac, there is something special about the Chromebook that makes me want to use it as my primary machine. Based on your question, you're the perfect candidate for the Samsung Series 3. The majority of your time in front of your computer is spent in a web connected state. Why not save some money and headache?
One of the great advantages of a Chromebook is you no longer need to worry about software upgrades or security. There is no malware, no trojan horses, and no viruses to protect yourself from. Everything you need is built right into the browser.
Of course there are individuals who still need a Windows or Mac OS based machine for getting their work done. But for a great many of us, a Chromebook offers more than enough performance. For doing word processing, spreadsheets, or presentations, I can use Google Docs. They've come a long way since I first began using an online word processor in 2006. While there is still a difference between what you can do with Google Docs and Microsoft Office, the gap has become so narrow only advanced uses will really notice the difference. And if you are in need of more advanced tools, there are virtual versions of Open Office (a really fine MS Office alternative) available or you can even open a Microsoft SkyDrive account and actually use a slightly limited version of MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Once again, only power users will likely need the missing features.
There are even powerful image editing tools you can use through the browser. Again, you'll need to be connected, but the truth is, how often do we turn on our computers and not connect to the web? My guess is not very often.
In fact the only downside to having a Chromebook is printing. It's a bit complicated if you don't have a Google Cloud Print compatible printer (however, many newer printers are wi-fi compatible – my girlfriend purchased a Kodak at Big Lots for about $25).
As a previous poster said, do your research, but if you really think you need a new machine sooner rather than later, take the plunge for a week and see how a Chromebook suits your needs. If it doesn't work as you thought it might, return it. However, I have a strong feeling you'll be very satisfied with your purchase.
I agree with Richard, I purchased a chromebook as a second computer and its become my primary computer now, I love it so much that I started a blog about life with chrome and how it intergrates into my everyday life to try and help people decied if its for them. I even included a quiz to help them decide you can find it at http://lifewithchrome.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/should-i-buy-chromebook-quiz.html
If you love Google products and use them all the time, then I suppose getting a Chromebook would make sense. If you constantly use Google software, then it would probably make your life a little easier.
Big thumbs down. Google chrombook hp pavilion is nothing but a fancy ipad with a keyboard attached to it in my opinion.
no you should not the crash all the time in our classes,and they reqire a google acount and they can break in a click.
Why dont't you sell me a stick and a stone and i wiil be happy.
I use a chromebook (acer) and easily manipulate word, excel, onenote as well as others via office apps.
I simply sign in to outlook.com, then goto skydrive where I can render/edit existing Microsoft documents or create new documents in word all while using my chromebook.
I am, however, limited to saving work done to skydrive but I download very little to my chromebook anyway. So, no loss there.
Additionally, functionality of the office apps is modestly limited as compared to the true suite of Office tools. While the office apps will render the full functionality of docs created on a fully functional version of Office, the apps may not be able to create docs with those particular functionalities. In my use I have not missed those functionalities, though.
In the end, my I find that my chromebook bridges my Microsoft/Google environments in an increasingly seamless manor.
I took a Chromebook after my 2006 Macbook died and hoped that I wouldn't need to upgrade to a MacBook Air. See mylifeinchrome.blogspot.com
I own the Acer C710 Chromebook and love it. Many people make an issue about only having 16GB of SSD storage…..but if you have a usb flash drive or an external hard drive….the storage can be as much as any traditional laptop.
Just so everyone knows, If you have ever used Linux before, you can get the full Ubuntu Desktop OS on the Chromebook. Let me mention, if you are going out to buy a CB for just this reason, don't. Just buy a budget laptop.
I bought the HP Google 14 Chromebook. I love it since I mostly on Youtube and gmail I saw the Samsung Google Chromebook and it looked like a toy compared to the HP For an extra 30 dollars, The HP is twice the machine in my opinion.Check the two of them side by side, you will see what I mean.
If one needs VPN, Chromebook is not a wise decision. Chromebooks are plagued with VPN connectivity issues. Because of this, I would not buy a Chromebook again. I would buy a traditional laptop and run Ubuntu/Mint, for example. I would not use Chromebooks in a corporate environment, again, because of the VPN connectivity issues. For whatever reason, Google appears unwilling or unable to fix their VPN connectivity problems with their Chromebooks.
DO NOT BUY A CHROMEBOOK. IT SUCKS!!!!! I bought one and it fights with just about everything. I can not talk to any of my family on Facebook because it crashes every 10 minutes. When you ask for help Chrome has no answers. By a REAL laptop.
If you are constantly online – maybe.
Unless you like any MS software; like word, excel etc.
Google remove a MS office app I had installed and working. It just disappeared.
They are more insidiously controlling than MS ever thought of being.
Repeat after me (or write on the blackboard):
Mmmmmm, Cloud.
I love the Cloud.
I TRUST the Cloud.
I love the Cloud.
I TRUST the Cloud.
One hundred times, or until you feel ready for a Chromebook.
Can you use the Microsoft Software app offline?
I just purchased my second chromebook, and I could not be happier. My first one was a small 11.6 samsung chromebook, and I fell in love with the concept. I just purchased an HP 14″ screen chromebook and I am head over heels. This is wayyyyy faster than my samsung and the screen is 10 times better, i am just in love with this machine. I was about to purchase a MAC but I am glad I didn't, this machine for under 400 dollars, rocks.
You can buy any laptop you want, but as an alternative to google docs you can definitely try collate box !
I really love the new world that is chromebook. The best way to describe it is that it's basically a controller for a computer owned by Google that is accessed online. I think people have to wrap their head around this concept so they can get why they don't need fancy hardware to have a great computing and web experience. No viruses, no money eating optimizers, no nonsense. So simple it is genius. Some people worry about their files being safe on Google servers, but I don't think they take into account that they are much more secure than your own local drive when your computer is connected to the internet. And let's face it, it almost always is online. Also, I don't know why people think it is safer to hide their money in their mattress. The cloud is like a safety deposit box for your data. Keep valuables off site people, that's not a new concept.
PS, to the people who want better filtering control like I do for their email, get sanebox. It is a life changer. Yeah it costs money, but it's so worth it imo.
You cannot video chat on ChromeBook except through G+. No Skype, No FB video chat. And if video chatting is important to you, then forger about the ChromeBook.
The Chrome book is a Smart Phone as a laptop but im not sure you can do as much.
I bought a Chromebook in January 2014 the sound is out I wasted money buying a flash drive to do a recovery mode with Google then was sent to Samsung CS who states I have to mail this in with my money and they will have it for up to 14 days even though I am an online student. If I take it locally it will void my warranty. The sound was always very low and you need ear buds but it is gone now!
Being a owner of a Samsung Chromebook I can definitely say its got a lot of limitations. You basically buying the hardware with a browser installed. Don't let the Google fanboy's tell you different. You could install Chrome browser on a PC or Mac and get the same Chromebook experience. Probably better because you would have better hardware. The Chromebook is basically for places like schools who have a limited budget and the Chromebooks are cheap. They are also worthless on trade in because they have weak hardware to begin with and only really run Chrome OS. I think schools will have a big wake up call when their Chromebooks become outdated and weak very quickly and they won't have any value left for trade. I've seen very few places who will offer any money for them. I would highly recommend people looking for a inexpensive laptop buy a Windows PC running the Bing version of Windows 8 which many start at around $250 for basically Chromebook like hardware but have a full Windows OS. You will find it much more flexible and you can always install Chrome browser if you want Google services and apps.
Compatibility with your Router could be another reason to avoid Chromebook. We recently ran into this problem.

Lack of compatibility with your Router could be another reason to avoid Chromebook.
I just got an Acer C720 chromebook, I like down loading photos from on line, and also posting them on Houzz and….., but I am unable to do so.
This Chrome book is really hard to operate for someone who has had many laptops, and been happy with them. Otherwise,I like this little Chrome.
i love chromebook computers!!!! I'm just concerned about the noise it is making. Every time I click on something it makes a weird noise. Is that suppose to happen??????????
I bought one and installed Kali Linux… 6 hours of pure hacking in a cheap and small footprint. 16GB is more than enough and still leaves 2.5GB free for anything else.
my laptop is chromebook so called acer that look good but disappointed over camera is not much some not good why i have been trouble with this over i feel bit not buy a chromebook laptop again because of bit different control so i feel difficult for deaf ?
hope next will be more future success
If you want to take chrome os out for a test drive, you can download the os onto a flash drive for free, and boot from the flash drive. For macs, there is an extra step to get the flash drive made, but still easy.
So if you have an existing computer, you can try it out to see how you like it before you buy it.
i hate the Samsung Chromebook
hint GO BUY A APPLE MAC BOOK PRO OR AIR :):):):):):):):):(:(:(:(:):):):):):):):):):):):)
if i can fly
I bought this idiotic chromebook….no "help" book, no way to get HELP, HELP!!!!! LB
Do not get one. They hold no value at all. Save yourself
Let's call it for what it really is, a smart, thin client.
It *requires* internet connection to have significant function, though offline functions are growing.
Currently, as of the end of 2014, 32 gig models are being sold.
For those griping about Facebook crash-o-matic, that is due to Chrome and its version of Adobe Flash, the patch-o-matic example for the universe to observe as a standard of frequent patches.
Also known as crapware. Don't have to like it, it is what it is. As an information security professional, Adobe Flash has been the bane of my existence, save or other Adobe products… With Adobe, it feels like the old Windows 95 days in quality of software, though Adobe updates as frequently as Microsoft does now.
So, Google feature freezes Chrome at a specific version of Adobe Flash, to judge by complaints. If it's buggy enough to be crash-o-matic, you're SOL until the next Chrome is released.
Rather like Apple with their version of Java.
I'll not even go into Microsoft's stolen version of Java, where Microsoft tried to tell Sun that Microsoft did it right and the people who *wrote* Java disagreed…
Well, I'm out of here. Just got off from a shift and a half at our security operations center, caught up with e-mail and was researching a new, minor annoyance and stumbled up this article and gripes.
I'm considering buying a chromeBook for my mom that is not a computer user. 2 questions. The purchase comes with 2 free years of Google storage, how much will the storage cost after that?
The screen is a little small, can they be connected to a digital tv and is that easier to see than using the monitor?
Don't buy a Chromebook because they fucking suck. Sorry but it's true. You literally can't download any games like World of Warcraft or Wizard101 or Pirate 101 or Minecraft or anything else. It fucking sucks. I only wanted a computer to play those types of games so basically my Chromebook was a wasted computer.

Dont buy you no play no games at all
I'm hook after getting my first Chromebook, an Acer 13 full HD, very lightweight, great battery life for $250. I've been compiling a list of things I CAN'T do on my chromebook and, so far, I only have 2 items: can't run the Logitech Harmony remote setup since their app won't run in this version of browser and can't run their desktop app, and the other is (most ridiculous yet) Google Earth. All the other "Office Apps" can be overcome with plugins and browser-based options. So far, the benefits far outweigh the limitations.
I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering problems with your blog.
It seems like some of the written text within your
posts are running off the screen. Can somebody
else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This could be a problem with my internet browser because I've had this happen before.
Thank you
how do I get out of being a guest
Anna, I read your article on Chromebooks vs notebooks. I just bought a Asus 13″ Chromebook for my backup. I only intend to play "farmville" on it. My laptop is in the shop so I got this to use when it might go to the shop again. Do you think it will let me play my game? Thank you.
If you play the web-based version that's on Facebook, yes. It should.
Chromebook is so fast so nice so light…so great….except…no ebay buy and sell. What? True. Sent it back the next day as I have an ebay business. Nice for surfing.
Less than forthright about Chromebook.
– only free online storage for 2 years, after which you'll pay (??/anything) to get your hostage docs.
– maybe in little Silicone Valley internet is 100% present and reliable, but not elsewhere.
ithink it is good help but i didnt read all so i might be roung maby you did but you should of put the regulure prise in it
Errm… I'm just saying that you can dual-boot a chromebook so that it will run linux on it (and thus getting all of the desired apps like libreoffice).
Don't buy a Chromebook. This has been the worst piece of technology I have ever owned. It doesn't save unless you upload it to Russia and even then it might be erased.
can chrombook convert analog videos to digital? can an AV transfer card be connected to a chrome book?
Good review, but I need more, to educate my self. I am visiting India, need to be in in touch with my investestment advisors. So I am looking for a simple hardware like Crome bOook. Any suggestion?
I like the review. I am going tobuy ACER Chrombook 13CB5-311-T7NN(13.3″ HD) NVDIA TEGRA K1, 2GB OR T1UU(13.3′, Full HD, NVDIA TEGRA K1, 4GB, 1920×1080 resolution.
I am a first time user, learning, any suggestion will be welcome.
I like your evaluation of a system, not messed up with technical terms oreign to a abeginer like I am.
I am normally a Mac user, but I have been using chromebooks for two years. Althouh my chromebook cannot replace my Mac because of specific statistical software I have to use for work, everything else I do on my chromebook. As a matter of fact, my chromebook is my workhorse. I have the hp 14 inch, and i loooove it. It has a huge screen, it is super fast, and tough. I totally love it.
a chromebook is useless I hate the 1 I am using and I wish that chrome os had never been invented because we can't get minecraft and there are other games I want but can't get and even at schools there are chromebooks so if the chromebooks are ment to be for a school then buy them

New Cumberland is a city in Hancock County, West Virginia, United States, along the Ohio River. It is the county seat[6] and is part of the Weirton-Steubenville, WV-OH Metropolitan Statistical Area, a subsection of the Pittsburgh Tri-State. The population was 1,103 as of the 2010 census.

All high school age boys and girls from the IVC district (or from nearby towns to the north and west without clubs) are invited to participate.
Interest in rugby is growing in Chillicothe and throughout central Illinois, and the only thing holding us back is having enough coaches.
If you have rugby experience and would like to give back to the game, please consider coaching. We currently have a boys high school team (the Barbarians) and a girls high school team (the Cailíní), and there is interest in Chillicothe for having a middle school team.
We currently have one head coach and two assistants supporting two teams. Ideally we would have 2-3 dedicated coaches per team -- a head coach and separate coaches for forwards and backs.
Time commitment is two evening practices per week January through May and one game per week through April and May. Benefits are changed lives for the youth in our community.
Email email@example.com with questions or to volunteer.
Pass the word! August 4-7 from 6:00pm - 8:00 pm, CRFC will be hosting a rugby skills camp on our home pitch in Chillicothe, if there is enough interest. This is for high school students (including incoming freshmen), and no prior experience is required. Cost is $25 and includes a custom t-shirt.
Taught by the same coaches that led the Barbarians to two state titles and produced multiple all-stars, the camp will include an introduction to rugby with a focus on learning and improving running, passing, catching, and kicking skills. Also included will be an introduction to basic formations (line outs, scrums, and rucks). Each day will include flag rugby scrimmages, and the final day will include competitions for speed, quickness, passing, and kicking (drop kick, kickoff, kick off tee, etc.).
Current dues-paying members that are CIPPed with USA Rugby can attend for free with an option to buy a t-shirt for $15.
To express interest and get on a list for future updates, email email@example.com.
