Toshiba Satellite A500-11U notebook
Good quality, impressive feature-set, backlit keyboard, powerful
Low resolution screen
Toshiba's Satellite A500 marks a new direction for the brand, with excellent multimedia capabilities more in line with the company's Qosmio range than regular Satellite models. Along with raw power, it's also stylish, comfortable and well made.
The A500's 16-inch screen is bright and colourful, with a 16:9 aspect ratio that's great for watching films on. There's no sign of Blu-ray support, however, despite Toshiba's recently pledge to use Blu-ray technology in upcoming products. It's also a shame that the display isn't sharper, with the 1366 x 768 pixel resolution looking a little low for a media centre.
The wide screen creates loads of room for a good-sized keyboard. As with many of the high-end laptops we've seen recently, it's a pleasure to use, with responsive keys that move quietly. It doesn't feel the most solid board to type on, but well-defined keys make it easy to touch-type, and backlighting allows you to use it in darker conditions. A bank of media buttons sit above the keyboard, making it easy to control your music and films. The touchpad is large and easy to use accurately, although the big chromed touchpad buttons won't appeal to all users.
Styling is similar to other Satellite models, with a patterned stripy lid and glossy plastics. It's slightly more refined than most of its siblings, however, and it's more attractive to us as a result. Quality is good, with strong plastics used and no sign of flex from the chassis or thick screen surround.
Multimedia performance is excellent on the A500-11U, thanks to an ATi Mobility Radeon HD 4650 graphics card. We were able to play the latest games with ease, even with detail settings turned relatively high, and you'll have no trouble running graphics intensive applications.
Office performance is equally adept, with a high-end 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 processor and 4GB of memory in place. We found it started up in seconds, and it's capable of multi-tasking with ease. All this performance comes at a price, however, as with a battery life of around 2 hours, mobility is limited.
Along with sparkling performance, the A500 also shines when it comes to features. Our sample featured an integrated digital/analogue TV tuner, letting you use it as your home media centre, and Harman Kardon speakers also offer reasonable sound quality. The TV tuner features a full-sized aerial socket, so you'll be able to use either a compact travel unit – reception depending – or a full roof-top aerial.
Alongside the aerial, the right-hand side of the chassis also offers two USB ports for your peripherals, and a slot-loading DVD rewriter. There are a further two USB ports on the left side of the chassis – one doubling as an eSATA port for high-speed data transfer, and one that can be used as a charger for peripherals such as your iPod or phone – even when the Satellite A500 is turned off.
There are VGA and HDMI-out ports for connecting an external display, projector or a high-definition TV, with an ExpressCard reader on one corner of the machine, and a memory card slot on the other. Networking features are comprehensive, with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet both in place, although 3G/HSDPA for mobile broadband isn't an option.
It's a shame that the Satellite A500 centre doesn't provide a higher resolution screen, but overall it's an excellent choice, offering great performance and impressive value for money. The backlit keyboard makes it a comfortable proposition, and good quality means it's also a machine you'll be able to use on a daily basis. If you're looking for a mid-sized media centre, and this is within your budget, then it comes highly recommended.

The Lefevre House is an absolutely stunning example of modern cliffside architecture. Located at the edge of the Peruvian desert and positioned impressively above the Pacific Ocean, the beach home was designed by Longhi Architects.
"Sand garden roofs act as the extension of the desert; lap and recreation pools connect the ocean with the house, while a glass box hangs from the structure symbolizing architecture between sand and water," according to Architectural Review.
I love the way the home is cantilevered outwards, nearly touching the ocean. The views from the deck and the swimming pools must be magnificent.

Manjaro is a user-friendly Linux distribution based on the independently developed Arch operating system. Within the Linux community, Arch itself is renowned for being an exceptionally fast, powerful, and lightweight distribution that provides access to the very latest cutting edge - and bleeding edge - software. However, Arch is also aimed at more experienced or technically-minded users. As such, it is generally considered to be beyond the reach of those who lack the technical expertise (or persistence) required to use it.
Developed in Austria, France, and Germany, Manjaro provides all the benefits of the Arch operating system combined with a focus on user-friendliness and accessibility. Available in both 32 and 64 bit versions, Manjaro is suitable for newcomers as well as experienced Linux users. For newcomers, a user-friendly installer is provided, and the system itself is designed to work fully 'straight out of the box'.
- Cinnamon 2.6
- simple cli/graphical installer
- systemd/openrc as initsystem
- automatic hardware detection
User Ratings
User Reviews
Good distribution, good alternative for Window$it. Manjaro have all update package + linux.
My issue with this distro is that its forum is pretty much worthless and that is an important thing with a distro. Ive been a Linux user for 10+ years and asked a simple question on their forum and the response from a Manjaro team member was "use the forum search" and locked my thread. I did use the search prior to asking as well as googling for the answer. If it was so easy to find with a search why not link me to a relevant thread?
I find Manjaro to have a stable foundation with ease of use and update. The past problems with Pamac are dealt with and even the rolling release is better than most where you must fully reinstall each new version. Their forum is easy to use and friendly, unlike some who treat a novice as ignorant. The number of Kernels include the most recent available and they still put out 32 bit systems with complete support. This is a very versatile system and when using Testing you can have state of the art software up to date with few problems that are dealt with quickly. Those who like a challenge, there is also unstable which helps the developers bring new ideas to the groups. I've used this system since November of 2013.
plss b43-firmware, b43-firmware-classic b43-firmware-legacy Installation should be included in the ISO
Manjaro has locked down all user participation at the moment. Most users are rejected from wiki, mailing-list and forum! Which other distro is so awkward?

There is a HTML button, with 3 backgrounds - each for normal, hover and clicked states. Of course, it works fine with non touch device. If the button is clicked on touch device, the :hover state is also triggered and stays until another element is touched.
Is it possible to programmatically remove :hover state from element after it was clicked or prevent it from activating on touch devices?
Sorry, but suggestions to a detect mouseover and mouseout events and add artificial classes are not accepted.
One possible solution is to add "no-touch" class to html element in advance and remove it if only touch device is detected. In that case, CSS selector "html.no-touch button:hover" will not match for touch device.
Do you know more elegant solutions you may suggest?

Great place for a cheap price for Japanese standards. Not a social place for backpackers as the main crowd is Japanese businessmen. Some staff spoke English and the ones who didn't were still great and very welcoming. Good facilities and wifi. Would recommend if you're on a budget.

I think I'll stay in one of the Chuo hostels every time I visit Osaka. If there were better points for 'value for money', I'd give it 6 out of 5. The area is not very attractive, a working neighborhood, but the hostels are always clean, the staff is friendly, the rooms are spacious, and you can borrow or have for free different kinds of necessary things. Close to the subway and other trains, too. Only that the showerhead in the bathroom did not fit the holder this time, so I had to hold it ^

This place was in a very convenient location and extremely easy to find. The staff was very helpful and spoke English pretty well. The room was large, but the bed was a bit hard. The common room/kitchen area was pretty well equipped. The bath room wasn't the most up to date, but it was amazing to be able to relax in it every night.

I had a very pleasant stay at hotel chuo. I stayed in a 4 people mixed dorm, the room was very clean and we were given fresh slippers every morning! The hostel also has free laptop on the first floor and you can leave your luggage before and after check in and check out for no extra price! But the best part is probably the public bath, very relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. You can also ask for special shampoo, towels and hairdryer for no extra price. Overall I was very satisfied.

Sprint sold 1.5M iPhones in March quarter, but lost 560,000 customersSales of Apple's iPhone were down at Sprint, as America's third-largest wireless carrier lost more than a half-million subscribers last quarter, but still posted returns that beat Wall Street's estimates.
Even with the loss of 560,000 subscribers from January through March, Sprint's losses in the quarter narrowed and the carrier lost $643 million, whereas it lost $863 million in the same quarter last year. At the end of the quarter, Sprint had 31.3 million customers on contract paying an average of $61.47 per month.
Apple's iPhone actually brought in a considerable number of new customers, Sprint said, with 43 percent of iPhone customers being new to the carrier, compared with 38 percent in the holiday quarter.
In the previous quarter, the 2.2 million iPhone units Sprint moved accounted for more than 50 percent of the carrier's smartphone sales. This past quarter, though, Sprint's 1.5 million iPhone sales made up just 30 percent of the five million total smartphone units sold.
The iPhone represents a substantial investment on Sprint's part, as the company committed $15.5 billion over four years to subsidizing the cost of the device beginning in 2011. That expenditure to this day impacts the carrier's bottom line, though Sprint expects to make up for the cost over time with subscriber revenue.
Sprint shares have more than tripled over the past ten months, as the carrier is now at the center of a bidding war. Late last year, Japan's Softbank made a $20 billion bid for Sprint, which would see it taking a 70 percent stake in the company. More recently, though, Dish Network proposed a $25.5 billion merger with Sprint, which would create a hybrid company offering television, home Internet, wireless Internet, and voice.

My Karndean floor was very badly fitted. When a fitter came back to rectify the faults he was rude and intimidating. I rang several times to complain but no manager was available and didn't ring me back as promised. I resorted to emails bu they went unanswered. Further letters, registered post weren't answered either. It seems they have no intention of honoring any guarantee or promises made at the time of my order. I would never ever recommend this company. My floor was fitted in October 2012… Read Full Review

Fears for genetic test as insurers will review their voluntary ban
Life insurers will review
their voluntary ban on
using genetic test results
next year.
If someone takes a test
and finds they might
contract a disease, they
do not currently have to
declare this to their
insurer, as the industry is
disregarding genetic
testing until 2014.
However, campaigners
are worried that when
this decision is reviewed
in 2011, insurers will
abandon the agreement and
use genetic testing as an
excuse to 'cherry pick'
customers from 2014.
Genetic tests: Insurers are disregarding them until 2014
Last week, the Mail
revealed that scientists
are developing a test for
people in their 40s to spot
signs of Alzheimer's.
Similar tests for breast cancer, Huntington' s disease and Cystic fibrosis are already available.
Ruth Sutherland, of the
Alzheimer's Society, says:
'Allowing insurers to
discriminate against people
with a known genetic
predisposition is unfair.'
The European
Convention of Human Rights,
states: 'Discrimination
against a person on
grounds of genetic
heritage is prohibited.'
Ms Sutherland, says: 'We want this to be enshrined in law, instead of having a voluntary agreement.'
A spokeswoman for the
Association of British
insurers, says: 'Insurers
will not ask anyone to
undergo a genetic test to
get insurance. However,
insurers do take into
account family illness, so
people can notify us if
they found they did not
have a genetic propensity
to a certain illness.

Amanda loves Rigoberto Moran more than anything in the world.
by axBrookexc March 14, 2010
something you feel inside of your heart. a very very deep feeling. you never want to lose this feeling. when you see the person you are in love with your heart will race, then stop beating for a few seconds. you pray theyll talk to you, and when they do, the only thing you can do is smile, during and after. you talk back, but after you can hardly remember what happened because you were too distracted by how much you loved this person. you always want to be with this person, and when you are not, you long to be with them. it isnt just about the sex, you want to lay there with them and just talk and cuddle. you want to hold their hand, hug them, kiss them. anything to be with them. when they instant message you, you feel yourself get warm inside, even if its just to say hey. you may not be "dating" this person, but you can stil be in love.
the best feeling in the world

This is actually one of the reasons that I wish Apple had left support for Firewire in the new iPod related devices (sync support I mean...it still works for power). USB power is less than firewire which always seems to provide enough juice to charge. I actually saved the firewire dock cable from an older iPod that I had and I use it to charge my iPhone from my Powerbook when I'm out of town (it can even charge when the powerbook is asleep, unlike the USB port). This also saves me having to bring along the iPhone charger...the firewire cable is tiny and fits in my small laptop bag nicely.

City View Tower in Long Island City Set to Become Queens's First Supertall
The 79-story tower headed for 23-15 44th Drive in Long Island City will likely become the first supertall building in Queens.
The 79-story tower headed for 23-15 44th Drive in Long Island City will likely become the first supertall building in Queens.
The stunningly tall towers rising along 57th Street are taking the Manhattan skyline to a whole new level. Despite their relatively small footprints, some projects are actually replacing true architectural gems. Between the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2016, the LeFrak Organization and Vornado Realty leveled three pre-war buildings at 27-33 West 57th Street. Although the latest reports indicated a "seven star hotel," final plans are still unknown. Given the site's Billionaires' Row location and proximity to Central Park, whatever gets built will most likely be very tall, and very expensive.
Until now, the residential supertall boom has been focused on the core of Midtown, with One57, 432 Park, 217 West 57th Street, and 111 West 57th Street all rising in the blocks between Eighth and Park avenue. Now, we have fresh renderings for Kohn Pedersen Fox's entry into a design contest for 151 East 60th Street, which would rise on the corner of Lexington Avenue and East 60th Street, stretching Midtown's new skyscraper crown a few blocks northeast of its current local maxima.
One of the largest remaining development sites in the Hudson Yards rezoning, owned by Tishman Speyer, now has official plans, as per the Wall Street Journal. The building, at 66 Hudson Boulevard, will stand 1,005 feet to its pinnacle, rising 65 floors and containing 2.85 million square feet overall, including 27,000 square feet of retail. The tower will cost upwards of $3 billion, and Danish architect Bjarke Ingels of BIG is designing the supertall, which will be laced in bands of diagonal sky terraces. The site is located between West 34th and West 35th Streets and 10th Avenue, and Tishman is currently seeking an anchor tenant.
YIMBY has brought you continual updates on the progress of Extell's 217 West 57th Street, a.k.a. Nordstrom Tower (officially Central Park Tower), and now we have the first photos of what the facade for the building will actually look like, as well as an update on progress. The image comes from an anonymous tipster and shows the glass that will appear over the top of the Nordstrom floors, crowning the retail podium in a series of undulating curves, and demarcating the boundary between the pedestrian realm and the supertall that will cantilever up above.
JDS Development is already building a 1,400-foot-tall skyscraper at 111 West 57th Street, and now they're getting ready to erect a rival supertall at 340 Flatbush Avenue Extension in Downtown Brooklyn. The latest set of permits show that the building will top out at 1,066 feet, beating any other tower planned or under construction in the borough.

Bath house was in terrible shape. Broken toilet seats. Toilets were sized for pre-school kids. They advertise a view but camp sites are down in a bowl. Trash piles up at bath house and bath house is not clean. Long overdue for repairs and upkeep. If RV is low there is a drop off going from country road down into camping area and it will cause damage. Residential area and neighbors are not friendly. They drive by and yell insults into the camp ground. - rdean

I would have to agree with most that is not the best KOA but certainly not the worst. Friendliness of the staff boosts its rating significantly. I've been here before and finding a way to level my rig is always an issue. Seems to me they could get a tractor with a blade on it and level these sites a little better. - 67fisher

You may need fifty feet of water hose and the same for television cable depending on the site you are assigned.
The site we were assigned was level which has been a rarity on our trip.
The staff are the most pleasant and accommodating that we have come along in a long time. They make you feel at home and do their best to run a top notch camper friendly campground. It is not about them, it is about you.
They ride around the campground quite a bit and are always picking up trash which is very nice. We camped here Labor Day weekend and they had different activities throughout the weekend, including free dogs and burgers on Sunday.
My wife attempted to feed the nanny goat but she wasn't having any of that business. I guess she isn't partial to carrots and cauliflower.
They have a nice pool and there is a bouncing pillow. Lots of things to do for the kiddies as well as the adults.
We definitely would return here. - Jackson W

This campground is owned and operated by a very nice couple. One amazing aspect was how quiet and open it was. Unlike other race week campgrounds around Bristol they do not double or triple up on the sites. The wide sites (35') were ample to spread out your outdoor furniture and awnings and still have room to park your car/truck. The rate charged was more than fair, and in fact was less than campgrounds closer in and provided more space with peace and quiet. We have already made reservations for both spring and fall races for the next two years. - nitewalk6

Wonderful tidy campground. We were given a goody bag and local paper on checkin.
Did have to use a leveling board at our pull-through site. - AL RVer
Mar 2016 - $35.00
We stayed for one night but wouldn't mind spending a few days. Reception area is where it begins, and this definitely got things off to a good start. Escorted to large pull-through site after registration, with gentleman checking to make sure everything was in order. Showed me where to best point dish for satellite reception. All services worked fine, with very good wi-fi. The park was clean, quiet and well maintained. - Voyageurs

This is a well maintained adult oriented campground, the owners were helpful and friendly at check in, and we had an escort to our site. Interior roads are paved and big rig access was good. Our spacious level pull through site was hard packed gravel with a concrete patio, picnic table,fire ring, barbecue and was plenty long enough for our forty foot motor home and towed. There was a little road noise during the day but it was quiet at night time. There appeared to be some permanent residents, but sites were neat and tidy. Bathrooms were spacious and spotless however the laundry was small and cramped. Very pet friendly with doggie bags and disposal stations. WiFi was a challenge but cell was good. The campground would make a good base to explore the area and also makes a good overnight stop. We would stay here again. - tobyjug

Linked here is a detailed quantitative analysis of Linked here is a PDF copy of my analysis of American Capital Strategies, Ltd. (ACAS). Earlier this week I added to my position in this stock. Below are some highlights from the above linked analysis:
Company Description: American Capital Strategies, Ltd. is a principal investment firm specializing in management and employee buyouts, recapitalization, special situations, middle market, and growth capital investments.
Fair Value: I consider four calculations of fair value, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description: 1.) Avg. High Yield Price, 2.) 20-Year DCF Price, 3.) Avg. P/E Price and 4.) Graham Number. ACAS is trading at a discount to two of the four valuations above. If I exclude the high and low valuation, and average the remaining two valuations, ACAS is trading at a 7.5% discount. ACAS gets a Star for being fair valued.
Dividend Analytical Data: In this section I consider five factors, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description: 1.) Rolling 4-yr Div. > 15%, 2.) Dividend Growth Rate, 3.) Years of Div. Growth, 4.) 1-Yr. > 5-Yr Growth and 5.) Payout 15% of avg. ACAS earned Stars in 3.) and 4.) above.
Dividend Income vs. MMA: Why would you assume the equity risk and invest in a dividend stock if you could earn a better return in a much less risky money market account (MMA)? This section compares the earning ability of this stock with a high yield MMA. Two items are considered in this section, see page 2 of the linked PDF for a detailed description: 1.) NPV MMA Diff. and 2.) Years to >MMA. ACAS earned a Stars for 1.) and 2.) above.
Other: As noted in ACAS's October 30, 2007 news release, the company increased its Q4 dividend 14% to $1.00 and forecasted a 13% dividend increase in 2008.
Conclusion: ACAS earned one Star in the Fair Value section, two Stars in the Dividend Analytical Data section and two Stars in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a total of Five Stars which rates it as a 5-Star Strong Buy.
Disclaimer: As always this is only my opinion and you should not rely on it. Before buying or selling any stock you should do your own research and reach your own conclusion. See my Disclaimer for more information.
Full Disclosure: At the time of this writing, I own shares of ACAS. See a list of all my income holdings here.
