Thermaltake Armor A30i Speed Edition Gaming Cube Chassis Review
The Build and Finished Product
The first thing we did for the build was to put our Micro-ATX motherboard on the tray, and it will also house a Mini-ITX board. There was a bit of flex that needed to be overcome to sink the screws, but we got it in there. Also, we have the CPU fan installed in reverse since the PSU intake sits right above this.
We also took our standard Silverstone PSU, and added it into the PSU frame. Here, the screws line up well, and there are no issues to speak of.
We also dropped a 3.5" hard drive into the rack that slides into the floor. For this review we will not be using an ODD, or fan controller, so we can leave the front rack sitting in the box for now, and add it later if there is the need for it.
Adding things back into the chassis should be done in stages to simplify the build. Here we have the motherboard in the case, the VGA installed, the wiring is done, and we even got the HDD rack back in with the SATA cable connected.
Since our PSU is modular and offered a short cable kit, it was perfect for this chassis, and I highly recommend a modular PSU in this chassis. So, we wired everything to the board, card, and the drive, but have yet to tend to the fan power connections.
We found it very easy to drop in the PSU and support frame, and then connect all of the cables. With the short cable kit, there is little leftover wiring, and it does not disturb the air flow all that much.

Good 3.8 /5 from 65 reviews
Very good location with complete relaxation
Nice comfortable clean apartment that was well decorated and good if slightly cramped shower room. About 10 min walk from U band station. Could be improved by there being more guidance about arriving after reception is closed as the lighting is poor round the door key pad unless you have a torch. Also would be helpful to have had a map to apartment as quite a big complex and not easy to find one's way around. It should also get a card reader so you can easily pay by credit card without photocopying details and would be helpful if after taking the deposit for someone's stay they didn't ask for the balance before check in. However overall good value.
A 2 minute walk to all the best parts of Brussels . Fantastic place to stay for a few days
It is not an hotel, but different appartments in an old residential building that has its own residents. Therefore, there is no reception there. The company withdraw half of the due amount from my bank account 2 months before the arrival date, allthough it was said on the reservation that the cancellation is free until 10 days before arrival. The other half was withrawn 3 days before our arrival. You have to walk at least 7 minutes to get to Amrumer metro station or 10 minutes to Wedding station. Streets are empty and not well lighted by night.
the location is fair, not central but close enough to the metro. The apartment was relatively silent, more than I have seen in general. However, the price indicated in the website was very ambiguous. In fact on the website it looked very cheap as it just included the rental for the apartment. When I booked I had to add 40 EU cleaning fee, plus 7.50 su for the city tax and Wi-Fi was not free either. It is 2eu/day. Furthermore, nobody told me to wash the dishes and take out the garbage so that now I have to pay an extra fine. They left a card saying that in German which I don't speak. However, when withdrawing the money they could make themselves understood in English. So overall beware that the price is double what you see in the website!

The gentleman I spoke with was very helpful. I did not realize I had been directed to an independent booking agent and not with the hotel directly. He was so helpful and friendly I decided to book with Hotel Direct and not the hotel. I will use them to book my next hotel!

Facebook is testing a "Buy" button in its latest effort to help businesses boost their sales through the world's biggest online social network.
The company said in a statement that the button will let people buy products directly from businesses without leaving Facebook. A "Buy" button appears at the bottom of sponsored ads and is being tested by a limited group of several small- and medium-sized US businesses.
The move comes as Facebook continues to grow its advertising business. The company will account for 7.8 per cent of global digital ad spending this year, up from 5.8 per cent in 2013, according to eMarketer. Google, the world's No. 1 recipient of ad dollars, is expected to account for 31.5 per cent of ad spending in 2014.
EMarketer analyst Debra Aho said that not long ago, most businesses thought Facebook was better suited for building awareness than driving sales, but the Menlo Park, California-based company is trying hard to change that image.
"With this step, Facebook is becoming even more firmly established as a major player in direct response advertising, and though this test is still only a test, it's a definite sign that Facebook wants to restart its efforts to become an e-commerce company as well," she said.
Facebook says it won't share users' credit and debit card information with other advertisers. The company said it will provide more details once it has gathered feedback from the test.
In January, Facebook said in a blog posting that it was working on offering more ways for direct-response marketers to communicate with Facebook users.
Mobile advertising is one of Facebook's fastest-growing revenue categories. Nearly 80 per cent of its users access the site on smartphones and other portable gadgets. In the January-March quarter, earnings nearly tripled and revenue grew sharply as advertising revenue rose 82 percent.
Meanwhile, mobile commerce is growing at a fast clip, and is expected to total US$304.1 billion in 2014, up 15.5 per cent from the prior year, according to eMarketer. Mobile commerce will account for 19 percent of all e-commerce sales this year, or US$57.79 billion.

I ordered the above shoes online, my last three pairs of shoes have been Clarks. Looking on your website I was amazed to see these on sale and that the postage and returns were free. My order was dealt with so efficiently and the shoes were with me so quickly. I am delighted with them and have had them on ever since. Thankyou for a very efficient service and I will certainly order again. I love the shoes and see other pairs on the site I like also.

Hello and Welcome back! It's been a very long time since my last post (almost two months), but I'm back and I would like to share with you my top ten libraries which the Anaconda Python Distribution includes by default. The criteria for selecting these top ten will be somewhat subjective, but I will try to be unbiased. I will choose based on:
Hello and Happy Thanksgiving, this is the belated fourth installment of my blog where I will go over a slightly unconventional, but incredibly powerful use for git the distributed version control system. Git was built by Linus Torvalds and friends to help with Linux kernel development and has since been used by millions of developers to help track changes to source code, but at its core it tracks changes to text files not just source code. This is one way that git has helped me and I thought I would share.
This post is about configuration file handling in Python, and how I feel about it. The views are completely subjective and debate is welcome in the comment section below.
Well, I'll start off by saying that the title of this blog post is a bit misleading, I will not actually be writing a Python interpreter, compiler, lexer or parser. Instead I will share a method which has allowed me to perform minor miracles in certain (very restricted) IT environments.
Hello, and welcome to the first installment of my blog. Today we will start building a clone of grep in pure-python with no third-party extentions. We will limit the number of features that we will implement today in the name of space and time. Specifically, we will implement the following features:

A chaotic return: A plan that worksChaos. Chaos was a very important part of the universe. Chaos was universal, it was everywhere, on every world. Sometimes the chaos was stronger, sometimes it was weaker, but you can't decimate it to zero. Chaos was something wonderful, it presented everything a creature could be up to and at least it was always fair; only the strongest survive, a rule that nobody could deny. Malisha loved the chaos, she was refreshing herself at it and more: She was using the chaos for her own power. "Chaos Mages" they had once called her and her mistress.A chaotic return: A plan that works by Ravana3k

Black Arachnia's Organic CravingsIn her spider mode, Black Arachnia waited outside of the Autobot base. Because of her half-organic side, energon could not feed her like it once did. She needed actual food, meat, and she knew one place where she could get it. As she expected, the Autobots' human ally, Sari walked out of the building, except strangely enough, she looked like a teenager. Black Arachnia could've sworn it hadn't been that long since they last met, but it didn't matter. This meant more meat for her. She crept up on her meal, watching her get a drink from the vending machine, before she shot a web right at her, catching her off-guard, and pulling her in. As Sara struggled, Black Arachnia transformed and held her in her hands.Black Arachnia's Organic Cravings by Ahsokafanboy More Like This

SAN MARCOS (CBS13/AP) – Winds haven't reappeared in San Diego County wildfire areas and authorities say it's a window of opportunity to make gains against flames that have scorched thousands of acres and destroyed homes.
Emergency officials also say Thursday morning that a significant number of firefighting aircraft are now available, including 22 military helicopters.
Ten of those are being used to battle a 6,000-acre blaze on the Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton. Twelve others are available to the county, where the biggest concern is a blaze at San Marcos. That fire is now 800 acres and is 5 percent contained, and thousands remain evacuated.
Fires began erupting Tuesday amid high heat and gusty Santa Ana winds. Asked about the possibility of arson, Sheriff Bill Gore says he won't prejudge the investigations.
Numerous agencies from Northern California have been dispatched to help firefighters in San Diego County, including strike teams from Placer County and Sacramento Metro Fire.
Cal Fire spokesperson Daniel Berlant told CBS13 Wednesday that this first round of wildfires could only be a preview of what's in store for California this fire season.

Samsung's Galaxy S3 became the world's best-selling smartphone model last quarter, pushing aside Apple's iPhone, which has dominated the chart for more than two years, research firm Strategy Analytics said on Thursday.
Strategy Analytics estimated Samsung sold 18 million S3 models in the third quarter, compared with iPhone 4S sales of 16.2 million.
Strong sales of the flagship Galaxy S3 - which comes with a large 4.8 inch touchscreen - helped Samsung post a record US$7.3 billion operating profit in the July-September quarter.
"Samsung's Galaxy S3 has proven wildly popular with consumers and operators across North America, Europe and Asia," said analyst Neil Mawston, adding the new iPhone 5 would likely reclaim the top spot for Apple in the current quarter.

Nobody spoke at a public hearing on zoning ordinance text amendments proposed by the Bedford County Planning Commission, but some supervisors had plenty to say.
One item is a text amendment that requires owners of short term rental properties that are within 500 feet of the 795-foot elevation contour, and have private septic tanks, to have their septic tanks pumped out, or inspected, at least once every five years. This is a provision that was deleted two years ago.

Summer is nearly here, and with it comes the heat. When the mercury rises and the air conditioning is on full blast, many Americans are never so thankful for access to affordable energy. Energy prices don't just affect your personal household budget.

The Bedford Area YMCA has been offering Professional Association of Dive Instructors- PADI scuba classes for two years.
"We teach everything from discover scuba, or bubble maker, to dive master," said Paul Stern, PADI instructor. The program has been sequenced for participants to be able to try it and then decide if they want to keep going and get certified.
In order to stay within budget, the Bedford County School Board decided to go with a new gymnasium at Liberty High School that will have seating for 1,230.
Last week's D-Day anniversary ceremony included the reading of all 2,499 Americans who were killed on D-Day. It's the first time all these names have every been publicly read out loud. We should never forget them and the cause they died for.

Continuous Integration or Continuous Improvement?
One funny thing about DevOps is that it is often touted that constant, on-the-fly changes are the way of the future in operations, and DevOps enables those changes. While this sounds really good, and some organizations are actually doing this type of DevOps, I think it is time that, for the enterprise, we strongly question that premise.
While it is really very cool to think about moving an entire web server from a farm to the cloud with just a script, upgrading a system while it's hot, or spinning up more instances of a server without having to configure anything, I propose that, for the average enterprise, it is simply not necessary.
I'm working on a test automation project that is being implemented for a generally available library. In this case, test automation gives standardized testing with standardized reports for those who are going to use the library to review before implementing or upgrading. This makes perfect sense, but the need for this level of effort and maintenance (remember that nearly all test systems are code too) for a library you've developed internally for use amongst your applications becomes much less clear. While testing should be mandatory for such a library, the question becomes what the coverage needs to be. If 80% of your applications utilize 10% of the library, I think I have an automated test coverage plan for you that will balance the cost of implementation with the benefits of having the tests run as part of the build effort.
The same is true with moving web servers around. Let's face it, in day-to-day operations most enterprises just don't do this. Really don't. So having automation scripts to move a web server because you did it once may not be the best use of your time. If you are one of the organizations that perpetually moves things around, then yes, this is a solid solution for you. But if hardware replacement cycles are the most likely determinant for when you will next need to spin up a whole new copy of this app, or move your server from one host to another, then it is highly likely that automating this process is not the best use of your time.
The thing is, DevOps is not a black and white endeavor. Little in IT is. Think about the organizations you've known (and we've all known them) that tried to standardize on a single language or a single database. It rarely works out, not because the decision to make such a move wasn't serious, but because the needs of the business trump the desires of IT management to focus skill sets. DevOps is trying to simplify a complex environment with a high rate of change. That's hard enough, don't shoot for automating everything that moves.
Think of each automation you write as a liability. I know that sounds weird and counter to the current DevOps thinking, but each script, like it or not, will be dependent upon the (changing) environment it runs in. Unless you are in one or two organizations that I've worked with who have abstracted their entire infrastructure (with a huge man-hour investment, I might add), each change in your architecture is reflected in maintenance costs for existing automation. Most of the time, this cost is worth it, but ignoring this fact will drag your IT operations down, even while you are improving things. The best you can hope for by automating little-used processes is reduced ROI from your efforts. The worst could be a nightmare of perpetually out of date scripts that have to be modified just about every time they're used.
Tools are coming that will ease this pain – a lot – that are more focused than what's available today. The thing is, until they're ready and your staff has time to learn them, they won't help. And like any new market, it could take a while for this one to shake out. So for the near term, just weigh the cost/benefit equation for each process you want to automate. If it saves operator man-hours, is used frequently, and is not too terribly complex, that's probably where you want to start.
Yes, we're still talking "low-hanging fruit". That is always the best place to start, and it gives you the biggest return on your man-hours.
After all, isn't the point of this whole exercise to get more time at the beach?
