What is your budget?
How are you planning on using the laptop? (school,work,entertainment,gaming, editing video/pics)
Screen size?
Preference of OS? (Vista,XP,OSX)
Hi, im just now starting my research for my first laptop that i am going to be getting later this year, probably this summer. I was just hoping that maybe i could get some tips. Like maybe what brands would be the best to look into. It doesnt have to be a really simple easy to use laptop, i am actually pretty good with computers and figuring out how to do stuff its just that im used to using them at school so im not sure how to go about getting my own. I appreciate any tips that you give me cause i have no idea where to even start.

Vibha Customer Reviews
For the past two months I've been busy at my work and totally stressed-out in my new project. One of my friend suggested aroma touch therapy, from Google search I found this place and decided to give it a try.
It is located in a town-office complex in Lakeville, not typical for a spa place. Once I entered I was surprised to find it is well-maintained and instantly gave me the spa look and feel. Patti was very good and explained the procedure in detail with the benefits of various essential oils on my mind and body. She was gentle and warm with her hands when applying the essential oil on my body. With soft music and aroma of essential oils I fully enjoyed and relaxed. Even after the therapy, I was lying-down for more than 30 minutes and Patti was very nice to let me stay long after my time. Give it a try and experience yourself.
From outside I was not impressed this spa place, but inside it was awesome! With soft music, rich essential oil aroma and hot coffee I was fully impressed. I came to do my microcurrent facial with Patti, she explained the procedure in great detail before the session and answered my questions patiently.
The entire session took 30 minutes and there was no pain. After the session
I can clearly see visible changes in my entire face, it became firmer and lifted. I am planning to buy a package soon.
Vibha Microcurrent worked for me!
I frequently workout and keep my body fit. But after my second child I started putting up weight on my tummy and hip. No matter whatever workouts I do I couldn't get rid of the persistence fat. Finally after doing online research on non invasive therapies I decided to try cavi-lipo and booked my first appointment with Patti. She is simply great! Answered all my questions and performed cavi-lipo on my tummy and hip areas. The session took little over 30 minutes and I fully enjoyed it. Before and after measurements showed that I lost close to half inch on my tummy. I am suppose to drink lot of water to flesh out the dead fat cells from my body after cavi-lipo session. In the next week based on how my tummy looks I may buy a package from Patti.

Android Central forum user doc31 was lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the HTC EVO 4G. There's answers to some of our questions, some pictures from the camera, oh, and did I mention a video showing it in action? Check out the thread in the EVO forums here, and follow the break to see the video as well as some samples from the camera.

Android Central forum member has an EVO for a day, and shoots us all a video
I said bye to the pre after owning it for 30 days. Screen size just was too small, and sprint's coverage in my area terrible.
But I still miss the interface even months after being on the Droid. If webos gets on bigger hardware and another carrier, you can keep android and apple.
bye bye palm pre. I love your os but ur hardware sucks. HELLO EVO!!
wow, that really does dwarf my poor lil pre
Whatever happened to that contest Sprint had going on...they supposedly are giving away 10 EVOs to people and then they blog about them online? It seems that would be a great place to get more info before 6/4 hits. I'm pumped, coming from WebOS where it was VERY self explanatory on how to install patches, etc...how easy is it on Android? For instance if I wanted to get after the "Tethering" or "Make my device a hotspot" hacks?
You've got to be kidding me... that's the most outlandish thing I've read this month.
Android has the best hardware backing it right now, and I'll be jumping on the EVO for the 4G service. But don't kid yourself - Android is leagues behind in terms of usability compared to WebOS.
The multi-tasking feels like a cruddy hack, and the fact that there are loads of task killer/management apps for Android speak to the fact that task management straight up SUCKS on Android. This is a real sore point for Android and it's not going to get any better for the foreseeable future.
Look, nobody can match the multitasking capability and pure elegance of WebOS, but that doesn't mean that Android's multitasking SUCKS!! Android can run far more apps simo than WebOS, it's just that the ability to access them intuitively is not there yet. Just because you are not royalty doesn't make you a peasant!
Having owned a pre... The multi-tasking on Android is better and more useful. No point in having multi-tasking if you aren't using it 100% of the time, but can call upon it as needed. Saves battery life (as proof in history of battery life on the Pre vs ANY ANDROID PHONE) and you don't get runaway processes that can't be killed without having to restart your phone.
The Android platform is plenty easy and not gimicky as WebOS gestures. Half of the time, the gestures don't register anyways (don't lie, you know you have to swipe more than once most of the time!).
Plus, the hardware has always been second to none. You see people still toting their G1's and they slider mechanism still works. I went through 5 pre's in just as many months and none had survived a week without oreo (some came with oreo effect built in).
You have got to be kidding. The task switcher on android SUCKS! The pre hardware may not have been great, but the OS is the best. Yes, I am now a fanboy.
Is everyone ditching the Pre for the EVO? I know I am. This is a big problem for Palm.
You two hit it right on. Love WebOS but it needs new hardware. Palm Phoenix anyone? HP needs to come out with a phone for Palm that will destroy the competition. Well, for now the EVO will be the phone I use. The EVO is a pretty amazing phone though so no complaints here. I think the EVO will be the new standard for features on the best smartphones. Frontfacing camera, HDMI out, at least a 4 inch screen, 4G capable, etc... WebOS still needs a lot of development especially in the app department. I have a rooted Pre and love it even more than before but it's still slow and small. EVO 4G FTW.
what is that music widget he has playing? it looks like the HTC one, but i guess the specific question is how is he getting the equalizer to show on the home screen like that?
That wall paper, and a couple others that respond to music (including a VU meter) are also available on the Incredible, and I suspect the Droid. Any device with 2.1 live wallpapers.
No single phone will EVER be the Iphone killer. It's in a class of it's own, but the fact is we don't need an Iphone Killer phone, we have the Iphone killer OS. We don't have to settle for 1 hardware(Apples), we have our choice of many different shapes, sizes, screen types, OS(Customizations), as well as different flavors of OS(Stock Vanilla, HTC SenseUI, MotoBlur, etc.)
I mean, let's face it, We might not have the Iphone killer in the Mototrola Droid, the Nexus One, or event eh upcoming HTC EVO (w/ 4G), but Android is taking a big fat dump on the Iphone OS and I am loving it.
Bye bye blackberry tour I'm on my way to the evo
My only concern about the EVO is the lack of optical trackpad. The Pre has issues with moving the cursor to the end of a line of text that is close to the end of the screen. Can anyone confirm that this is not an issue with other Android devices?
I live in Hanover Park, IL
Maybe I'm old school but sense when did phone become cool when they are bigger than a check book? This thing is a MONSTER, why is that cool? Yes it has HDMI out, 2 cameras, a kick stand... but I tell you what, the most anoying thing I have seen so far, the OS wont go into landscape, what good is a kick stand if the only time you can use it is when watching movies or surfing lol, unless you want to turn your head 90 degrees so you can run the OS. All these Pre fans leaving Palm for this, I feel bad for them when they move from webOS to Andriod and multitasking turns into a chore! You have a phone that fits in your pocket to needing a fanny pack to carry around and then paying extra $10 even if you don't have 4G service. Can't wait until I see one out there, so my little 800MHz Pre beats the pants off this big, bad EVO.
I have to agree about the size thing. I am still running my old Palm Centro. I was planing on shifting to the Palm Pre, but after using my friends, I couldn't stand it. It felt so different then my old Palm that I felt betrayed. Loss of my home buttons, not to mention I was told that none of my old beloved apps would be supported. Once I saw the Evo I knew I wanted it. If I have to learn an entire new OS, I might as well pick one that, at least to me, looks better in every way.
I couldn't stand Palms old OS... Not sure what happen using your friends Pre, but it is as smooth as a babies bottom! Cards over widgets any day, most android phones that I've seen have 3 home screens, needs hacks to get 5 and 7 to puts your apps on the home screen. Pre you can just open as many cards as you want and leave them open, the only limit is memory. But either way, once I know someone with a EVO, I will have a little contest, something like taking a picture, uploading it to facebook, twitter, text and email, pulling something up on the internet and fowarding it... Something fun like that, I won't leave my Pre until a phone comes out that actually multitasks better than the Pre does! I'm not going to leave my Pre because this phone is HUGE, takes 720p video and has a kick stand. All phones will be taking HD videos now, sounds like phones will start having a forward facing camera, the OS is what makes a phone and webOS has it... Just you wait to see what HP funding has in store for new Palm hardware!
Clearly you never held a HD2 before. It's not that huge. Hell my step-mom is getting the HD2 and do to its slim build it feels nice in her hands (and in mine). Yes the Pre's multitasking is nice (I own a pre) but what the hell are you multitasking?
I find myself barley using multitasking because the apps are sub-par or my battery is dying.
Your statement "OS makes a phone" is only halfway right. WebOS is a great OS for someone whose main focus is multitasking but if your hardware sucks the phone sucks.
Honestly, Android is a superior OS. WebOS wins in the multitasking department, but Android does so much more. The little things we have to run preware for is already on Android devices.
Also I think you're really underestimating what the EVO can do. Video Chat, Voice and data at the same time, front facing camera, multimedia heaven, future proof with its high-end specs and 4G, great camera, and Android.
Really I think you downplay the Evo too much. The Pre is crap compared to it.
*The comment you just read is one persons opinion and keep in mine its just that*
I agree - having put the HD2 in my pocket, it's not that big at all. Those who want smaller phones are just old folks, luddites, minimalists, or ipad owners ;).
Those who want to rule their life from their phone need more POWER! That includes size.
In fact, I wonder if the Dell Streak, with 5 inches of pleasure, will not rule over the EVO! Probably not, since it's slated to have a 5MP camera, and perhaps even resistive instead of capacitive screen (though I may be mistaken).
I dunno about you, but for me, the EVO is still small, and definitely small enough to put in the pocket or on the hip.
This coming from a Pre user WOW! Apps, only 2K, you are right, subpar? I guess I'd like to know what makes a par app lol.
who needs multitaking? um Andriod is trying to promote multitaking, iPhone is moving to multi tasking.
Video chat yes all that is cool, not saying I do not want it... just saying all phones will go this route with 2 cameras, video chat and all that yes, but Pre is over a year old hardware wise, so yes it is out dated but to sit here and say that it sucks when 4 months after the Pre came out, the Droid comes out with the exact same processor as the Pre... Hmm ya really sorry hardware...
Hands down I bet that even with year old hardware, the Pre can out do the EVO in terms of a little multitasking contest wich I plan to do when I find a friend that gets an EVO.
Yes HD is great, 720p video is great, video calls is great, HDMI out is great yes it is all great! Every phone will be moving this way, Palm should have a new phone coming out this year, and I'm sure it will be doing all this and more!
SenseUI android phones have always had 7 home screens (running any version OS). 2.1+ phones have at least 5. Simple home replacements give you more (not much of a hack, more of a downloaded app). Please don't speak things you aren't positive about.
Pre smooth as a baby's bottom? huh? All 5 of mine ran like total garbage, which is exactly what the hardware on the outside matched.
BTW, any android phone can do what you had mentioned. ANY, including the G1. Plus, with the photobucket app, it uploads online automatically, you can tap to copy the link and longpress to paste it in any text field. I could do what you said for all of your social networking in under 1 minute. Guess what else android phones can do:
file transfer using bluetooth... yeah, no api in sight for that for WebOS
can record audio
can upload that audio
can compare that audio with a databases audio
A simple update can clear up the Pre running like garbage (or maybe not patch your phone), "Please don't speak things you aren't positive about!"
File transfer via BT, that is cool, webOS is so cool that can be an update away if they wanted (kinda like adding a video camera with editting) can you charge this without wires?
Pre has hardware issue huh? how about the G1 with their 3G issues, or the screen being so sorry that you can barly use it on a sunny day! I think there is a few other HTC phones that have this issue... Guess what, I can see just fine outside, I get 3G just fine sense day one! lol
Wow, that so cool you can record your voice and send it places... Can Andriod run Need for Speed, KO boxing, Assassin's Creed, etc.? Really?
how about updates, I know a momment when going to 2.1 (that took months to get) all data was erased, has to restore the contacts, and reinstall the apps just for an update not to mention you had to have a PC to update it... Hmm, webOS has always kept all my info during an update and always been OTA, no PC needed!
are you an idiot or just that damn slow?
i am a pre owner and will keep my pre and add the evo.
let us be honest here, as much as i luv my pre, when it takes 9 months to add something a simple and basic as video recorder, something is wrong! i know walmart phones that come with that. and if palm took the time to do things right, we wouldnt need a million updates to have basic features.
i have had my pre since day 1. and have had to have it replaced 7 times! i have had basic ota updates that erased everything in my phone and palms server erase over 300 contacts. and couldnt replace them. so now i back up everything with my gmail.
webos has something special going on no doubt, but for the fore-seeable future, android and htc have done the job and done it well. and im sure that the evo will play all the games and stuff that web os does. i left htc because of windows mobile, now that the have gone android im gonna see what the got. ive never liked slider phones cause theres the chance of somethign going wrong , so kudos to htc for doing things right.
and for the record even the pre dosent charge without wires, i have the touchstone and you still have to plug the touchstone in to the wall. and you need a special back to do that anyway. i still luv my pre but im going evo too.
The EVO is .5" thick. The Palm Pre is .67" thick. The Palm Pixi is .43"
I have the Incredible it is INCREDIBLE. As far as I can see the EVO has pretty much the same features except it is larger, has the HDMI, a kick stand (wow), front facing camera and that is about it. Wait 4G if you can get it on Sprint. I'll keep mine because the coverage is better on VZW and I have mine in my hand and don't have to wait until June. I came from two BBs to a Moto Droid and a Droid Incredible haven't missed the BBs and for all you Sprint fans you should love the EVO.
That's pretty much were I am. The lure of the larger screen is there, but the idea of carrying the EVO in my pocket is not appealing. There are definite advantages to the EVO, as you mentioned, but I'm happy with the Incredible. My wife might like the EVO because of the bigger screen, WiMax and HD video recording.
True, VZ has much better coverage. But the screen size difference is pretty dang nice, as is tethering and 4g if you get to use those things.
I think the incredible is not much more than a droid, sans keyboard. Each incremental step is not much, but if you skip a step (like Droid to EVO), it's worth it.
evo rule sorry palm pre it was nice while it lasted lol.cant wait for june 4. Evo already pre ordered.
Wow, everyones fleeing the Pre including me, so I pre-ordered my Evo from the Shack. I had my Pre since launch day and it worked without issue but I want a bigger screen and besides I get something new every year. With that said I have to say I can't wait to hear all the Evo whiners that will complain about any little thing thats not up to there expectations.
Yes I am a Pre owner since day one and will be leaving for the Evo. I wish Plam had at least left a phone somewhere for someone to pick up and then send int he Stormtroopers to recover it, LOL! Seriously. Plam, get your act together and I will see you when you release a new phone. I love WebOS but the Evo cant be denied in what it has. Im sure when the new Plam device comes out, I will switch again, Yeah its a habit and my wife can only contain it. She's getting an Evo too so she isnt complaining. Palm, see the competition and come strong. Hearing about WebOS 2.0 leaves me hope that you will be back, just make sure the hardware is up to par.
I too have had my Pre since launch and am a bit frustrated by my GPS not always working and overall sluggishness...BUT, I will miss the multitasking. There are plenty of times when I do have more than one card open and I love switching back and forth. Can Android phones do anything similar to this at all? My mom has that Droid and I haven't found a way to do so...even Windows phones had that home screen where you can switch apps.
I'm 85% sure I will get EVO at launch...but not totally convinced.
What the F-Ck, If you got a pre and intend on keeping it, then why the fuck you fags on here, yes androidcentral.com. I aint felt that the pre was better then my treo 650. It was trash. Dont hate the Evo. It has hardware that not for a very long time Palm will have thanks to there --- bank account. Just cuz HP bailed there sorry ass's out don't mean they got money to bring out another phone with specs that come close to the Evo. I Love how you cry about not having great features like 720p vids, HDMI, 2 cameras, a true app store cuz the apps on pamls phones are trash and dont have any vaule to say there ok in any way. Multitasking is MAYBE the only thing that android might need to improve on but everything else just shits on palm products. And how FUCKING STUPID are you people? The extra $10 is to remove the 5gig cap a month so you can use the real unlimited data plan on both 3g and 4g. And any person with a Droid Incredable should feel like a coward to show that rip off of the evo phone around. It has same harward but alot better features. Simple and last time i check this past week that Sprint was # 2 behind Verizon for customer service and less droped calls. The time to hate on sprint and the Evo and now to a stop on June 4 cuz no phone besides the new iphone can even step foot in the same door. Droid incredable with 1 camera, and less features that cant keep up with the Evo or Iphone 4g. So get a life you fake ass fags and start to look at the future of phones and say thanks to sprint and the Evo for bringing whats the next note in the book for cell phones to come.
the close-up shot is a bit blurry and the colors aren't that vivid.
but the phone is SUPER fast as you can see in the video :D
so excited about that phone have to have one
like especially that there are no keys on the front of the device, so its flat.

When the President, Congress and both parties have sinking poll numbers, who wins?
There's a race to the bottom going on in American politics, pitting both parties in their own version of Biggest Loser.
We have a Democratic President, Barack Obama, whose approval ratings have sunk to their lowest level in office -- 40% in the last weekly Gallup average:
And we have a divided Congress that almost no one thinks is doing its job:
Gallup has been measuring perceptions of Congress almost every month since the mid-90s. August and September – 13% and 15% approval – produced the lowest back-to-back ratings ever. In a recent CBS/New York Times poll, only 6% of registered voters said that most members of Congress deserve re-election – the lowest percentage ever in that survey.
What's driving these horrific numbers?
And if they don't improve, which party in Congress is most likely to suffer at the polls next year?
"This has not been democracy's finest hour," says Ron Kind, House Democrat from La Crosse. "The American people deserve and expect better. There's far too much gridlock and just hyper-partisanship … and with the economic anxiety people are feeling, what they don't want to see in their face every day is their elected officials at each others' throats."
Scholars who study these trends say public disdain for Congress reflects: first, a lousy economy; and second, a belief that the legislative branch is politically dysfunctional and doing little to solve the country's problems. On top of that, you have partisan disenchantment on a wide range policies. Democratic voters are unhappy with the GOP-controlled House; Republicans are unhappy with the Democratic-led Senate; and sizable minorities on both sides are unhappy with their own party's failure to deliver more in Congress.
Public trust in government and satisfaction with "the way things are going in the U.S." are also at or near historic lows.
"Probably the main (factor) today is the economy. It's a drag on everyone's ratings – the President, Congress," says political scientist David Jones of the City University of New York. "Everybody's just grumpy with anyone in charge."
In recent history, sinking congressional approval ratings have coincided with large losses for one party in Congress. Jones says the historic polling average for congressional approval is 35%. Since 1974, when approval is above that level, the majority party in the House has gained an average of six seats, he says. Below that level, the majority party in the House has lost an average of 16 seats.
The sharp swings in the last three election cycles were all preceded by marked declines in congressional approval ratings.
It happened in 2006, when Republicans lost 30 seats and their House majority:
It happened in 2008, when Republicans lost 21 House seats and eight Senate seats.
And it happened again in 2010, when Democrats lost 63 House seats and their House majority:
Each time, a dramatic election outcome produced a temporary post-election spike in congressional approval. Each time, that was followed by another two-year decline and then another swing election that produced a new balance of power of Congress.
But unlike 2006 when Republicans controlled Congress and the White House, and 2010, when Democrats controlled Congress and the White House, power is now divided between two parties, and they can't agree on almost anything important. Under those conditions, it's not quite as obvious who bears the brunt of voter anger at election time.
You could make the case that an anti-incumbent tide will claim lots of incumbents in both parties, but that's not how congressional elections normally play out.
You could make the case that Republicans will pay a higher price next year. Their House majority, at loggerheads with the White House, is arguably the face of Congress. Performance ratings of congressional Republicans are even lower than those of congressional Democrats. In a CBS/New York Times poll this month, Republicans in Congress had a 19% approval rate while Democrats had a 28% approval rate. In a recent Pew poll, Republicans had a 22% rating and Democrats had a 29% rating.
Polls this summer and fall suggest the debt ceiling showdown boosted negative perceptions of the GOP. While unhappiness with Congress was not a Republican problem in the first two years of the Obama presidency, "now that Republicans share some control, there's definitely some added risk," says Jones.
But you could also make a pretty strong case that Democrats will be the biggest losers, because of the obvious drag of the President's own poor ratings. Yes, Obama's approval rating is a lot higher (around 40% in the Gallup Poll) than that of Congress (15%). But that's a decades-long pattern; public perceptions are invariably less negative toward presidents than toward Congress, a divided, conflict-ridden, unwieldy institution.
Jones says perceptions of Obama will probably exercise a greater influence on congressional races than perceptions of Congress. Something like that happened in 2008, when voters unhappy with President Bush and unhappy with Congress gave the party that controlled the House -- Democrats -- a bigger majority.
"It's probably the strangest political environment I've ever seen since I've been here, and it's so volatile," says Kind, who has been in Congress since 1997.
"When approval of Congress is low, we can expect a lot of turnover" at election time, says Jeff Jones of Gallup. "Which is fascinating, because we've seen so much turnover the last three times, and people are just as frustrated as before."
Here's one more chart, this one showing congressional approval over the last six years. The previous low point coincided with the 2008 financial collapse. The peaks came after elections that punished the party in the White House and produced significant congressional power shifts:
An improving economy would no doubt boost everybody's ratings. But continued economic bad news and policy gridlock could drive perceptions of Congress into uncharted territory: single-digits.
"Yes, it can certainly go lower. We've had satisfaction (with conditions in the country) in the single digits," says Jones of Gallup. "It's rare we find single-digits on anything. But if things get bad enough, it's certainly conceivable."

Look at Me – Bartek Zurowski
Die polnische Modeszene ist überschaubar. Bartek Zurowski – Blogger und Stylist, darf man wohl der Avantgarde Polens zurechnen. Seine Art- und Weise mit Mode umzugehen, ist bemerkenswert.
Er trägt einen gewaltigen Bart, Nagellack auf seinen Fußnägeln und nicht selten spannende Looks. Während der Poland Fashion Week hab ich Bartek in seinem Hotelzimmer besucht, um mit ihm ein Look at Me für FashionDaily.TV zu drehen.
Inflationary, bad: Wood-Sunglasses!
On a daily-bases, press-releases by labels are reaching us, which have specialised in the production of sunglasses out of wood.
They are boasting themselves with sustainability. Are praising their work with totally funny slogans like 'Woody since 2012′, 'In Wood We Trust' or 'Done by nature, designed for your eyes'.
All die Holzbrillen-Designs von Marken wie Kerbholz, Stadtholz, Wood Fellas, WOODONE, ROLF Spectacles, Eric Lauer, Enzo Forciniti, Scherler oder Zeitgeist Berlin tun das nicht.
The Berlin-based label with the original name 'Stadtholz' is assuring that one 'really has a piece of nature on their nose', when purchasing their glasses.
But does one want that?! Having a piece of nature on your nose, when it looks bad. Sustainability is great and all. But fashion is mainly about design. And that should look good.
Plus, there is nothing more annoying than labels, who are massively pining 'sustainability' on their flag. Most of the times it is exactly those labels, who have as much to do with sustainability as bumm-bumm-Boris with the smart usage of Twitter. Not a lot.
KRISVANASSCHE is not going to be continued!
Shortly after Scott Sternberg announced the end of Band of Outsiders, Kris Van Assche has also informed the public, that the label, which also carries his name, is not going to be continued.
Kris Van Assche will mainly concentrate on his work for DIOR HOMME. The Belgian designer announced the end of his label through a hand-written letter which he gave to his business partners and the press.
'Times are tough for independent labels.', Van Assche said to WWD. 'This wonderful adventure has reached a point where I feel the need to take a break and some distance to better think about how to develop my brand in the future.'
We will miss the sporty-but-buttoned-up aesthetics by KRISVANASSCHE!

New York Fashion Week: Hood by Air AW 2015
HOOD BY AIR presented their new collection 'Daddy' in a cellar-like setting at the Wall Street, the centrum of finance.
The mastermind behind HBA, Shayne Oliver, showed classics from the world of fashion, like button-down shirts, sweaters and polo t-shirts in the typical unisex Hood by Air Silhouette. Therefore it came to an hybrid between polo shirt and dress. Or camel coat and tank top.
The models wore locks in-front of their mouths and tights over their heads, like burglars. The soundtrack of the show, total freedom, was ended drastically, followed by jazz, underlined with the statement of the Empire:
"I wanna show you a faggot really can run this company".
It becomes obvious how appreciated HBA is also in the art-world, when looking at the guests who attended the show, for example Klaus Biesenbach and Grace Coddington.
It seems that HBA, even after the diss by their once supporter A$AP ROCKY, is still very hip.

This one is from my first Moleskine, before I started doing the double page drawings only on the leaves that fold out as one continuous piece of paper. Since the markings didn't line up perfectly I decided to split the image so that it prints as a diptych.
love it! great one, Heather.
Thanks Will, so glad you like it!

German Airport Strike
29 April 2016 Earlier than other years a deal has been made with Verdi union members today. Workers nail down a contract for 2.4% 2016 and for 2017 a 2.35 pay raise.
Lufthansa Airlines
Friday, 22 January 2016 Lufthansa has reached a truce with its flight attendants. Talks, mediation will go on till June 30.
Pilots on the other hand, no agreement yet, no truce.
Three hours notice is all workers have to give for strike action notice. Just enough time for you to leave home and go through airport security!
Passengers who booked via a travel agent got help, other customers complained that the phone lines were busy and Lufthansa website was slow.
Make sure you've given Lufthansa your up to date contact information and your phone is charged, room on your credit card and checked your route for other airlines. Take photo's of departure board.

Easy Travel Report
Industrial Action Strike Guide for 2016
Came across this website this week.
Perfect match for viewers of Easy Travel Report
Dear Fellow Travelers,
Give us suggestions. Are we on the right track? What would you like to see? Keep it clean! We hope you've found this information useful. Help us get the word out.
Do send us any industrial action that your participating in either intentional or accidental! Your feed back is vital to us. Particularly what we've missed! We love a good correction. Keep sending your articles in.
To our critics, our readers just want to know what to expect, no more, no less. When holidaymaker's go on vacation they have little tolerance for hanging out in ports, airports, train stations and incurring extra costs with hotels and alternative transportation. They just want to sit on the beach with the kids and support your economy. No vendetta here.
Viewer called us the drudge of travel, very witty... We wish.
Another viewer "not exactly drop dead gorgeous, but gets the point across" and another "A really useful site (though guaranteed to give you a few sleepless nights!!!). Will definitely check regularly on this one".
Jeez, thanks..
Another viewer
I appreciate what you are doing and I agree totally with your sentiment.
I am an international traveler for business on average one international trip a week, all year long.(maybe more lately).
I have been extremely inconvenienced like yourselves. I have slept on the floor in Narita airport, I have been treated as an animal in a mob of passengers at Milan Malpensa, and scrambled for an emergency place to
stay near JFK, etc, etc.
Can't you just feel this passengers pain.
From Karen:-I just want to thank you for the warning...unfortunately, I did not heed it, and my husband and I, traveling from Nice to Savona, Italy, were kicked off the train at the last stop in France, Menton, along with 3 others, with no prior warning of any troubles ahead. There WAS a strike in Italy, and we had to catch a cruise that evening, so ended up splurging on a taxi to Savona. But this is a great website...keep up the good work!! We went to the Nice train station to buy tickets a couple of days before we planned to travel to Savona, and I even asked at that time if there was any word of a strike in Italy. The man looked at me and said in a very disinterested manner, "We do not know about Italy. We sell French tickets.". Well, OK then!!
Our table mates on the ship had a flight cancellation on Iberia for their return, which was to be on Easter Sunday. They ended up leaving the ship early, in Marseille, in order to get home. Too bad....
Do you have a particular app that you can't live without?
Why do we leave information up you ask? Because travel agents, insurance companies and passengers refer to it.
We get emails on a regular basis asking did this strike really happen or I need proof it happened?

May 2015 New review nice
So Avoid all your strikes during holidays
All papers regularly, suitcases packed and the house is on side. You're ready for your vacation and head towards the airport. Where you really do not fancy, is an unexpected strike at the airport. Fortunately, you can at home enough to figure out through a convenient web site, so you will not be confronted with unpleasant surprises.
With the holiday season approaching, the chance of latency. But it gets worse if your flight is canceled completely, for example by a strike. That happened to a lot of travelers in 2014, with strikes at Lufthansa and KLM partner Air France. In 2015, the chances of flights canceled suddenly also provided.
Just before the website is easytravelreport.com created. The page displays a country where at the moment strikes, but also countries which are risky in that area. Not only airlines but also by other carriers. The site warns especially for France. French air traffic controllers union is vehemently against the retrenchment of employment - a plan of the government. The eyes are focused on the Italian air traffic controllers, who have threatened to strike.
From Dee
We found your fantastic site two weeks after leaving our luggage at Brussels airport due to the May, 2013 'industrial action'. Along with 78,000 other pieces of luggage, our 2 were eventually returned, once we were home, four weeks later. We were not informed of the 'industrial action' when we checked in in Rome, thank you Brussels Airlines. So we, experienced travellers of 30+ years, learned the hard way that we have to inform ourselves. And your site is excellent. We have sent it to many, many people. Keep up the fantastic work! - Sincerely, thankful Canadians
May I just say how wonderful your website is and how it has helped me this year. I travel to Europe quite frequently and with all the strikes in France and Italy particularly, it has been an incredible help and always so topical - much more so in fact than the individual airlines webpages.
I have recommended it to several of my friends. Thank you so much for making life that much easier!
Very best wishes

Easy Travel Report.Com "Priceless Travel Information" a travel guide!
Transportation strikes for 2015. We just want to give you the "Heads Up" of a potential travel disruption, disaster! Find out whose ripe for industrial action. Check here first, even before you've bought your airline ticket. Be prepared for next trip. 2015 shaping up to be contentious between shareholders, unions and employees.
Over the years we've learned:-
Take a picture of the departure board, with time and date of cancellations. Document everything.
Save all receipts, you never know.
Put airline phone number in your phone as sometimes it's easier to call them when you have 30 people in front of you at the check out desk.
Know which other airlines are going your way.
Wear as many clothes as possible and pack just hand luggage.
Make sure you have room on your credit card to put the expense of another flight on it and it probably won't be a low cost flight!
Competing airlines love it when your airline strikes. It's not unusual for them to up the price fares at this time and add extra flights or planes with larger passenger capacity.
When Spanish air traffic control went on strike a few years ago. Only hotels available were the really, really expensive high end or hotel's you wouldn't put your enemy in.
When German Lufthansa Airline strike rental cars across Germany get more expensive and scarce.

RIMANEWS - Lebanon's resistance movement Hezbollah has condemned the deadly car bomb attack in the capital, which killed at least eight people and injured scores of others.
Hezbollah also called on Lebanese to stand united and urged an investigation into the Friday explosion. The Syrian government has also issued a statement condemning the terrorist attack as a 'cowardly' move.
The intelligence chief of Lebanon's Internal Security Forces, General Wissam al-Hassan, is reported to be among those killed in the blast. He had recently uncovered an Israeli spy cell in Lebanon.
Lebanese protesters took to the streets shortly after the explosion to condemn Hassan's assassination.
The explosion occurred in Beirut's eastern Ashrafiya district, which is a predominantly Christian district, and near the headquarters of the the Phalange, a Maronite Christian party, during the rush hour as parents were picking up their children from school. Several building were damaged and many cars were set on fire as a result of the blast.
It was the first major bomb attack in Beirut since 2008. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said the government was trying to identify the perpetrators and that they would be punished. [presstv]

UN Information Officers Educated on History of Holocaust
NEW YORK - United Nations information officers will be given lessons this week on the history of the Holocaust, it was announced Monday, continuing a trend by the world organization to recognize the mass murder of Jews during World War II.
Employees of the UN's public information department on Monday began a week-long program of discussion with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington under a program known as "Holocaust and UN outreach program."
The seminar in Washington dealt with the history of the Holocaust, which calls for confronting hatred, preventing genocide and cultivating moral responsibility.
The UN General Assembly, dominated for decades by Arab and non-aligned countries bent on opposing Israel, had never recognized the Holocaust. That changed in January 2005 when it commemorated for the first time the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi camps during the final months of World War II.
The 192-assembly then voted on programs of education for the UN on the Holocaust and the seminar in Washington was one of them. It also made January 27 a day for remembrance of the Holocaust.
"While providing participants with the historical background and context in which the Holocaust took place, the seminar will explore a number of themes central to the rise of the Nazis," the UN said in a statement. It said the themes included racist ideology, which led to the extermination of the Jews.
The attendees will also study the "moral obligation and responsibility" to protect human rights and preserve human dignity.
Six million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis, as part of the regime's "Final Solution" for the Jews of Europe.

They are also hung in temples or monasteries, carried in religious processions, and used to illustrate sermons. Thang-kas are painted on cloth and attached to a textile mount that can be rolled up like a scroll. The word thang-ka, which can also be spelled tanka, means "something rolled up" in the Tibetan language.

New England snowmobile weekend coming up
AUGUSTA, Maine — Snowmobilers from Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont who are looking for some fresh scenery have a big opportunity coming up.
Reciprocal Snowmobile Weekend this coming Friday to Sunday allows all legally registered Maine snowmobiles to be operated in New Hampshire and Vermont without being registered in those states.
At the same time, snowmobiles legally registered in New Hampshire and Vermont can be operated in Maine without a current Maine registration. In Maine alone, snowmobilers can explore more than 13,000 miles of interconnected, groomed and marked trails.
The Maine Warden Service reminds snowmobilers to ride with caution at all times. Maine Warden Col. Joel Wilkinson also advises riders to pay close attention to ice conditions on all Maine waterways, especially when traveling at night.MORE IN This Just In

Respond to Review of Glonojad
by Laylah
Review: One of the friendliest vege places I have ever been to. Much more cosy than most bars, it's really nice to linger there over your food or tea (while other bars like that in Cracow are rather canteen-style). It's nicely decorated and they they put some tables outside if the weather is good. Glonojad is situated very close to the Main Train Station, so it's great to pop in before you hit the road ;) The food is tasty, but servings are rather on the small side. What's also worth saying, you can get your bike serviced there while you're enjoying your meal ;) Plus wi-fi.

"Blissfully Romantic….A strange, terrific, spellcasting story." — San Francisco Chronicle
"Bel Canto…should be on the list of every literate music lover. The story is riveting, the participants breathe and feel and are alive, and throughout this elegantly-told novel, music pours forth so splendidly that the reader hears it and is overwhelmed by its beauty." —Lloyd Moss, WXQR

Read an Excerpt
Chapter OneWhen the lights went off the accompanist kissed her. Maybe he had been turning towards her just before it was completely dark, maybe he was lifting his hands. There must have been some movement, a gesture, because every person in the living room would later remember a kiss. They did not see a kiss, that would have been impossible. The darkness that came on them was startling and complete. Not only was everyone there certain of a kiss, they claimed they could identify the type of kiss: it was strong and passionate, and it took her by surprise. They were all looking right at her when the lights went out. They were still applauding, each on his or her feet, still in the fullest throes of hands slapping together, elbows up. Not one person had come anywhere close to tiring. The Italians and the French were yelling, "Brava! Brava!" and the Japanese turned away from them. Would he have kissed her like that had the room been lit? Was his mind so full of her that in the very instant of darkness he reached for her, did he think so quickly? Or was it that they wanted her too, all of the men and women in the room, and so they imagined it collectively. They were so taken by the beauty of her voice that they wanted to cover her mouth with their mouth, drink in. Maybe music could be transferred, devoured, owned. What would it mean to kiss the lips that had held such a sound?
Some of them had loved her for years. They had every recording she had ever made. They kept a notebook and wrote down every place they had seen her, listing the music, the names of the cast, the conductor. There were others there that night who had not heard her name, who would have said, if asked, that opera was a collection of nonsensical cat screechings, that they would much rather pass three hours in a dentist's chair. These were the ones who wept openly now, the ones who had been so mistaken.
No one was frightened of the darkness. They barely noticed. They kept applauding. The people who lived in other countries assumed that things like this must happen here all the time. Lights go on, go off. People from the host country knew it to be true. Besides, the timing of the electrical failure seemed dramatic and perfectly correct, as if the lights had said, You have no need for sight. Listen. What no one stopped to think about was why the candles on every table went out as well, perhaps at that very moment or the moment before. The room was filled with the pleasant smell of candles just snuffed, a smoke that was sweet and wholly unthreatening. A smell that meant it was late now, time to go to bed.
They continued the applause. They assumed she continued her kiss.
Roxane Coss, lyric soprano, was the only reason Mr. Hosokawa had come to this country. Mr. Hosokawa was the reason everyone else had come to the party. It was not the kind of place one was likely to visit. The reason the host country (a poor country) was throwing a birthday party of unreasonable expense for a foreigner who had to be all but bribed into attending was that this foreigner was the founder and chairman of Nansei, the largest electronics corporation in Japan. It was the fondest wish of the host country that Mr. Hosokawa would smile on them, help them in some of the hundred different ways they needed helping. That could be achieved through training or trade. A factory (and this was the dream so dear its name could hardly be spoken) could be built here, where cheap labor could mean a profit for everyone involved. Industry could move the economy away from the farming of coca leaves and blackhearted poppies, creating the illusion of a country moving away from the base matter of cocaine and heroin, so as to promote foreign aid and make trafficking of those very drugs less conspicuous. But the plan had never taken root in the past, as the Japanese, by nature, erred on the side of caution. They believed in the danger and the rumors of danger countries such as this presented, so to have Mr. Hosokawa himself, not an executive vice president, not a politician, come and sit at the table was proof that a hand might be extended. And maybe that hand would have to be coaxed and begged. Maybe it would have to be pulled from its own deep pocket. But this visit, with its glorious birthday dinner replete with opera star, with several meetings planned and trips to possible factory sites tomorrow, was a full world closer than they had ever come before and the air in the room was sugared with promise. Representatives from more than a dozen countries who had been misled as to the nature of Mr. Hosokawa's intentions were present at the party, investors and ambassadors who might not encourage their governments to put a dime into the host country but would certainly support Nansei's every endeavor, now circled the room in black tie and evening gown, making toasts and laughing.
As far as Mr. Hosokawa was concerned, his trip was not for the purposes of business, diplomacy, or a friendship with the President, as later would be reported. Mr. Hosokawa disliked travel and did not know the President. He had made his intentions, or lack of intentions, abundantly clear. He did not plan to build a plant. He would never have agreed to a trip to a strange country to celebrate his birthday with people he did not know.
