Fantastic place in a great location in madrid. Not a hostel in the hostel sense as doesn't have a common room to meet more guests but it was a nice quiet place to stay. I arrived at 9am after traveling all night and was let into room at 11.30 as they cleaned my room so I could go to sleep. Thought that was nice of them as check in is normally after 1 fantastic staff. I will come back here again as I will find myself in madrid again in october .

If you are a backpacker, this might not be the place for you. The hostel is very quiet and since there is no breakfast served (nor is there a common room), you will not mingle with other travelers. However if that's not what you're looking for, this place is perfect. Very central, within easy walking distance of all major attractions. My single room was small but very cosy and well thought through. This place is very neat and clean. Staff are really friendly and helpful. I'd def.stay here again!

Overall I enjoyed my stay at this Hostal. The room was very clean and quiet despite it being in the center of Madrid. I was able to easily navigate around the city from it's location. My only problem was understanding the no eating in the room policy. It seemed really strange to me. I would recommend this place to any of my friends thinking of spending time Madrid.

On arrival, we were told there had been a problem with the hotel so we were being put up in Castilla 2. (They sent an email that morning). At Castilla 2, after some issues with payment, we got sorted and finally walked up to our room to find it was a twin instead of a double like booked! The manager was then incredibly rude. His words at one point were 'There are two of you, twin beds sleep two, double sleeps two- what is your problem?' He eventually agreed to give us a double bed for night 2.

Almost Famous (Sexy Lady EP)
Yung Berg is busy putting the finishing touches on his debut album, Look What You Made Me. However before it hits stores, Berg and his labels Epic and Koch, decided to drop a teaser: Almost Famous (The Sexy Lady EP). The six song CD is highlighted by the joint, Where Do We Go, which finds Berg enlisting the help of the fast-flowing Twista. The Chi-town resident lays down a mile-a-minute rhyme over a 1980's sounding sample, produced by JFK, that will leave you wondering where you've heard it before. Excuse me, I need to go find out.

When the premiums/fines come due, or Obamacare fails, 'they' will not blame Obama.
Poster Handle
Post Content
I am white. Where I work is about 80% black. I have kept my mouth shut and listened. They think what Obama is doing is helping the poor, and/or preventing the greedy insurance companies from getting rich. It sickens me - they have no clue how the works really works.
When the premiums or fines come due, they'll blame the republicans. They're already accusing them of trying to stop the law or change it. Any failure of the program will be blamed on them. It's a win-win for Obama. He cannot lose.
After listening to these anecdotal conversations I am convinced that nothing - a new Great Depression, nuclear war, nothing will convince these people they are wrong. It will always be someone else's fault. It's the right thing, because they've been told it's right. They are incapable of considering another viewpoint.
When TSHTF this is what you will face. The fact you have prepared and they have not only means that you were part of the cause so you knew to prepare. This is what is coming, and it is beyond evil.
I am very near to a complete loss of hope for America.

We are White. I can absolutely tell you, you are 100% correct.
My own mother, who receives no handouts, says its all the Republicans' fault.
A nuke goes off, I guarantee you she blames Reps.
I've told her they're all in it together, bla, bla bla... She still thinks Obamas a saint.
So yes, you're right, and its not just Blacks to blame.

Customer review by Nene
These cookie cutters are fabulous. Even larger than I thought they would be. And such a nice variety.
Customer review by Mmonroe811
I bought these for a bake sale and I love them!!! Yes they are plastic but they work great. You can pretty much make cookies or whatever you are using them for, for ANY holiday! They give you so many animal cutouts to choose from! I just used these for Easter and they were a hit! I can't wait to use them for future holidays! Im so happy I bought this bucket instead of just a few metal cookie cutters! You won't be disappointed with all of these. If I had to say a negative thing about them it would be I have problems getting them all back in the bucket once I take them out to find the right cutouts I need and put them all back in, but I don't think that problem should stop you from ordering these.

BEST: The Houston Arts Alliance weathered Wayne Dolcefino's tabloid journalism and debuted 8 new public art projects, refuting his accusations of lack of production.
WORST:The public art process can be likened anywhere to diving for pennies in a crocodile pond, but the situation in Houston is exacerbated by the queen crock. Billed as a "Celebrated Artist and Art Activist," Helen Lessick, HAA's new Civic Art & Design Director, has the congeniality of a barrel of broken glass, and comes across as a pedantic, obstructionist champion of bureaucracy. And, according to some Houston arts professionals, her prickly condescension isn't just reserved for artists… [Full disclosure: Glasstire recieves funding from HAA.]

News shift for Fairfax Australia
Relevant offers
Fairfax's flagship Australian newspapers may allow people to read up to 20 stories online each month for free before insisting they pay, The Sydney Morning Herald says.
The trans-Tasman media giant announced plans to put content generated by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age behind a paywall from next year, as part of a raft of initiatives designed to save A$68 million (NZ$86m) a year and reposition it as "an increasingly digital business".
The company's New Zealand arm said it had no plans to follow suit, saying stories would remain free on the internet here.
Fairfax also said it would axe 1900 of its more than 10,000 staff, close two printing presses and print the two Australian newspapers in a "compact" rather than full broadsheet format.
Fairfax New Zealand chief executive Allen Williams said none of the redundancies would be in New Zealand. Williams said Fairfax had no plans at present to move New Zealand titles to a compact format or to introduce metered pay walls on its websites here.
The shift in audience from print to online was driving the changes in Australia, he said.
"We haven't seen the shift to digital away from print as they have. Our plans will be governed by the needs of the New Zealand market and its readers and advertisers."
Fairfax also announced yesterday that it had sold a further 15 per cent stake in Trade Me, raising A$160m and reducing its shareholding to 51 per cent, but said it intended to retain its majority shareholding.
Investors responded positively. Fairfax shares were up 7.4 per cent at A65c in late-afternoon trading on the ASX. Trade Me shares rose 5.6 per cent to $3.76.
Trade Me chairman David Kirk said the sale was a positive step for Trade Me shareholders.
Australian media forecaster Ross Dawson said the Australian layoffs suggested newspapers would "essentially die in Australia within the decade", but he believed publishers such as Fairfax could survive. Fairfax NZ

Was Gandhi gay? Letters between Indian leader and bodybuilding friend fuel speculation about true nature of relationship
- Letters displayed in India's national archives reveal 'loving relationship'
- National archives deny screening letters to reduce controversy
- Gandhi signed off letters to bodybuilder with 'Sinly yours, Upper House'
- Exhibition marks 65th anniversary of Gandhi's death
His enduring image is as the father of India, the loincloth-clad hero of his country's struggle for independence.
But newly revealed letters have added to the speculation about a secret side to Mahatma Gandhi.
They detail his close friendship with a South African bodybuilder, Hermann Kallenbach, with some suggesting the pair may have had a physical relationship.
Lovers? Mahatma Gandhi (left) and Hermann Kallenbach (right) sit either side of a
female companion. A collection of
letters between the two men have gone on display at India's National Archives
The letters, written by Gandhi, went on show in New Delhi yesterday, the 65th anniversary of his assassination.
One, handwritten to Kallenbach, is addressed to 'My dear Lower House' and signed 'Sinly yours, Upper House'.
However scholars looking for clear evidence of the full extent of the men's relationship, the subject of speculation for years, were left disappointed.
The archive of letters and photos belonging to Kallenbach was purchased by the Indian government last year, just before it was due to be auctioned by Sotheby's in London. Curators acknowledge that they have put only a sample of the correspondence on display at the National Archives museum.
Mushirul Hasan, chief of the National Archives, denied that the collection had been screened and controversial letters left out because of Gandhi's iconic status. 'These are original letters and we have provided a sample of the correspondence between Gandhi and Kallenbach. There is a lot that is new and significant,' he said.
'Nothing controversial has been left out or necessarily included.
The documents previously belonged to relatives of Kallenbach, a German-born Jewish architect who met Gandhi in South Africa in 1904 and was impressed by his ideas
Gandhi and Kallenbach (middle row, centre) pose for a picture at Tolstoy Farm, South Africa in 1910. They became constant companions after they met in Johannesburg in 1904
'They had a marvellous relationship and the archives reveal the intensity of that relationship.'
Gandhi moved to South Africa in 1893 after training as a lawyer. He already had a wife, Kasturba, as a result of an arranged marriage in 1883, according to local custom, when he was 13 and she was 14.
The couple had four sons: Harilal, born in 1888; Manilal, born in 1892; Ramdas, born in 1897; and Devdas, born in 1900. His wife joined him in South Africa in 1897 and they lived there until returning to India in 1914 to join the gathering political movement against British colonial rule.

Kallenbach, a German-born Jewish architect, lived with Gandhi in Johannesburg for about two years from 1907 – a year after Gandhi took a public vow of celibacy.
The relationship between Gandhi and the wealthy South African was chronicled in a book two years ago by Joseph Lelyveld, former editor of the New York Times.
In Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi And His Struggle With India, Lelyveld quotes a letter from Gandhi to Kallenbach in which he wrote: 'How completely you have taken possession of my body. This is slavery with a vengeance.' Lelyveld defended his book against accusations that he had suggested Gandhi was bisexual. 'The word "bisexual" nowhere appears in the book,' he wrote afterwards.

Raj Bala Jain, part of the National Archives team that studied the Kallenbach collection in detail, said she was surprised how their relationship had been misconstrued.
'I did not find even a single letter with sexual overtones,' she said.
'Friendship can be misinterpreted. I think Gandhi was very normal and above such things.'
Indians fret about auctions of Gandhi's belongings, saying they insult the memory of a man who rejected material wealth. 'We are talking about Gandhi. Such emotions are justified,' said Mr Hasan.

Brookstone Inc. said it would be bought by the owner of Spencer's retail chain for about $147 million as part of a prepackaged bankruptcy plan. Brookstone, which has been struggling with falling sales, filed for Chapter 11 protection on Thursday, April 3, in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, in Wilmington, DE, along with 10 of its subsidiaries.
"This agreement will leverage the brand recognition and resources of our two companies," Brookstone CEO Jim Speltz said in the statement. "The retail industry continues to evolve and staying ahead of the curve is critical."
Spencer Spirit Holdings Inc., which also owns costume retailer Spirit, will be the stalking horse bidder at Brookstone's auction, according to a Brookstone statement.
Brookstone, which has about $200 million in debt, will receive debtor-in-possession financing from bondholders.
The company said it would continue day-to-day operations and did not specify if any operational changes will be made.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for building a composite print job.
It is often desired to combine files for printing, i.e., to create a composite print job. For example, a user may wish to combine two documents into a single composite document. In this example, a composite print job may comprise multiple copies of the composite document. Further, a composite print job may include stapling one or more of the composite documents together.
For some purposes, a composite print job can be created using a sequence of ordinary print commands provided by the typical software application. For instance, a user may make multiple copies of a composite document, which is to be created from two documents, by issuing a print command for the first document and then another print command for the second document. This group of two print commands causes the printing of one copy of the composite document, and multiple groups of two print commands causes the printing of multiple copies of the composite document. If the user desires, for example, 10 copies of the composite document, the user needs to issue 10 groups of print commands. However, the repetition involved is inefficient and tiresome. The user could issue one print command that provides for printing 10 copies of the first document, and then another print command that provides for 10 copies of the second document. While this would reduce the number of print commands required, it would require manual assembly of the 10 composite document copies. As before, the manual assembly of composite documents is inefficient and tiresome. Moreover, other purposes cannot be accomplished using the print commands ordinarily provided in application software. For example, application software ordinarily does not provide the capability to staple three separate documents together.
Software has been provided to solve these problems. Specifically, this software is adapted to create a composite print job from documents or other separate files that are available electronically. A particularly efficient example of such software is manufactured and marketed by Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc., under the trademark SHARPDESK�. This software may be thought of as providing two modules which will be referred to as a document identification module and a document combining module. The document identification module permits the user to enter the various documents or files into a designated memory (a "repository"). The document combining module is then invoked by the user to read the documents from the repository and print the documents according to user instructions. The user instructions are input via a user interface that presents an array of choices. The user interface includes a means for selecting or otherwise identifying the printer to be used.
The documents are created by one or more applications, e.g., a word processing, spreadsheet, browser, database, drawing, scanning, graphic image processing, or other program running on the underlying operating system of a computer. The documents are created, stored, and manipulated by the application in an application specific document format.
In the printing process, the application converts the document into the particular printer independent file format ("PIFF") it supports in cooperation with the operating system. Typically, the operating system is a Microsoft Windows� operating system. In a Windows environment, when a user instructs an application to print a document, the application creates a device context, draws objects to the device context, and then calls a graphics device interface ("GDI"). The GDI converts the GDI data to device dependent interface (DDI) data which is passed to a document combining device driver. In this example, the document combining device driver then converts the DDI data into the particular printer independent file format ("PIFF") that is supported by the document combining module, such as Microsoft Windows� EMF (enhanced metafile), TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) version 6.0, or Adobe PDF (portable document format). It is in this way that the application converts the document into the particular printer independent file format ("PIFF") that it supports, such as EMF, TIFF, or PDF.
The SHARPDESK document identification module receives the documents in the PIFF and stores the documents in the same PIFF format in the repository. The user identifies the documents to be included in the composite print job by providing a "print file" command for each document.
After all of the documents have been identified, the document combining module manipulates the documents according to user instructions in the PIFF. Thereafter, the document combining module calls a printer driver that is specific to the printer selected by the user for printing the composite job. The printer driver converts the documents into a printer dependent file format ("PDFF") required by the printer.
The inventor has recognized that it would be desirable to improve the print quality of composite print jobs. The prior art software for creating a composite print job manipulates data in a PIFF rather than a PDFF because neither the document identification module nor the document combining module "knows" the format required by the printer—only the printer driver has this information. However, this results in a lack of capability to optimize the print job. Particularly, the prior art software must employ one of two strategies. In one strategy, the software assumes an "ideal" printer. However, if the printer to which the print job is actually sent is not an "ideal" printer, some print features or capabilities may be lost in the process of printing. In the alternative strategy, the software assumes a "worst-case" printer in an attempt to avoid this problem.
However, if the printer is better than worst case, use of some desirable features or capabilities may be avoided unnecessarily.
Accordingly, there is a need for a method and apparatus for building a composite print job that solves the aforementioned problems and meets the aforementioned needs.
A method for building a composite print job according to the present invention comprises receiving at least a first and second file in respective printer independent file formats. The first and second files are printed to a logical printing device in a printer dependent file format appropriate for a physical printing device. The first and second files are combined as a composite print job, to prepare the first and second files for printing to the physical printing device.
An apparatus for building a composite print job according to the present invention is provided for printing to a physical printing device defined by one or more attributes. The composite print job includes at least a first file and a second file, the first and second files being in respective printer independent file formats. The apparatus comprises a logical printing device defined by the one or more attributes, a user interface and a combining module. The user interface is adapted, in response to one or more file commands from a user, for printing the first and second files to the logical printing device in a printer dependent file format adapted to the one or more attributes. The combining module is adapted for combining the first and second files as a composite print job, and to prepare the first and second files for printing to the physical printing device.
The foregoing and other objectives, features, and advantages of the invention will be more readily understood upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In a preferred embodiment, the invention is directed to a method and apparatus for building a composite print job for printing to a printer.
A print job generally defines content and instructions for rendering the content on a printing device. (The terms "printer" and "physical printer" will be used herein to refer to any type of printing device, whose output may be hardcopy, such as that created by a laser printer, or softcopy, such as that created by a facsimile device.) A print job produces a body of such content that the user wishes to print as a whole document. The term "document" as used herein may include any combination of text, images, or other data that can be printed. A composite print job comprises a plurality of files, referred to herein as "segments" to indicate that they are components of the composite print job. A composite print job employs a single set of instructions for rendering all of the content. It will be appreciated that a composite print job is distinguishable from a compound print job. A compound print job schedules and prints multiple documents as a group, but does not otherwise provide for treating the documents as a group. In a compound print job, a separate set of instructions for rendering the content is provided for each document. By contrast, a composite print job provides for group-wide or job-wide treatment of multiple documents, such as specifying the number of copies of the group of documents, stapling the group of documents together, and printing the documents of the group in duplex form, such that no blank pages are produced even for documents having an odd number of pages.
Referring to
A logical printer 10 receives the print data from the device interface 8 and is adapted to provide for (a) ordering of the segments, and (b) establishing job-wide settings for the composite print job. In the prior art, these functions have been performed while the print data is formatted in a PIFF. To print to a particular physical printer 20, the logical printer 10 invokes an appropriate printer driver 15, which converts the composite print job into the PDFF required by the physical printer 20.
Turning to
The printer driver 15 represents one or more printer drivers, and the printer 20 represents one or more physical printers. The job build module 50 permits the user to select one of the printers and address the printing instructions to the selected printer. However, it will be appreciated that with respect to the prior art logical printer 10, the printing instructions have not been optimized for the printer that is ultimately selected.
Turning to
In operation, the user preferably adds a segment to a print job by instructing the application which created the segment to print it. The print instruction will cause the operating system to display the print dialog box 76. Instead of selecting an object linked to a physical printer in the printer name box 78, the user selects an object which represents the composite print job building apparatus 100. When the user clicks "OK" to print, the segment does not print; rather, the segment is added to the page repository 140. This process is repeated for each segment the user desires to add to the composite print job.
From the print dialog box 76, the user may select composite print job building apparatus 100 as the selected printer, and by making another selection, e.g., by clicking on the "properties" button 80, a "job-wide settings" menu 31 is displayed. Preferably, the user performs the steps required to display the job-wide settings menu 31 after all desired segments have been added to the composite print job, however, it is possible to display the menu 31 at any time. The job-wide settings selectable from the menu 31 include selecting the number of copies of the job. In addition, the user may also specify whether or not to perform duplex printing, or to staple the job. Other job-wide features may be provided as desired.
It may be noted that, without the composite print job building apparatus 100, printing M copies of N segments would require the user to provide M�N print commands. By contrast, the user of the composite print job building apparatus 100 need only perform N+1 operations, i.e., N operations for identifying the N segments and one operation for selecting M as the number of copies of the composite job. In general, for functions that treat the segments as groups, the job-wide settings of the present invention provide outstanding advantages.
From the job-wide settings menu 31, the user may click a "Job Build" button which causes a segment specification menu 32 to be displayed. The segment specification menu 32 provides a means for the user to specify the order of printing the segments in the composite job, as well as the page order within the segments. The segments are combined by ordering the segments, or pages within the segments, with respect to one another. For example, a user may have three segments that the user wishes to combine: Segment #1, Segment #2, and Segment #3. Segment #1 may be a two page document; Segment #2 may be an image; Segment #3 may be a one page document. The user may wish to print the segments in the following order: Segment #1, Segment #3, Segment #2. If Segment #1 is the first segment of the requested print job, the job build control module 170 enters the filename of the segment, or some other name for the segment if that is desired, into a "Job Segments" list 33. Subsequently selected segments will be entered in order on the list. Alternatively, the user can enter filenames directly into the "Job Segments" list, where the apparatus 100 may be adapted to open the segments using an appropriate application.
An indication can be given to the job build control module 170 that the user desires to reorder the list, and how to reorder the list, by any known means, such as by clicking and dragging the filenames (or alternative names) to other locations on the list. For this purpose, the list can be scrolled up or down to provide room for moving segments with respect to one another on the list, where only the order is important.
The composite print job building apparatus 100 further preferably provides for reordering pages such that, for example, page 2 of Segment #1 can be made to follow page 3 of Segment #2. This functionality is provided by a "Preview" function, which may be invoked, for example, by clicking the preview button 34. The preview function provides a thumbnail of each page of the entire print job so that individual pages can be clicked and dragged into a different order where desired. The preview function also provides a capability to test the job for print quality, job completeness, or page/document formatting before actually committing the job to paper. The "Preview" function may also be used to reorder segments.
Other combinations of the segments may be provided in addition to merely reordering the segments, or ordering pages within the segments, and other manipulations of the segments may be provided in addition to merely combining the segments, without departing from the principles of the invention. For example, an image may be combined with text by placing the image on a particular page of a segment, or at a particular place within a particular page of the segment, and segments may be manipulated by reformatting the segments, e.g., to a common font size or to common margins.
The user interface 125 further provides a control menu 35 for entering control commands. "Start" may be used to indicate that a segment is the first segment of the job. Alternatively, the apparatus 100 may assume that the first segment on the list begins the job. "Add" may be used to indicate that a segment is to be added to the job. Alternatively, the apparatus 100 may assume that any segments added to the list should be added to the job. "Delete" may used to indicate that an indicated segment (e.g., highlighted segment) should be deleted from the job.
Finally, "Print" is used to print the job. A print command is generated by the user interface 125 for instructing the associated application to print. The apparatus 100 provides a print queue for queuing the segments. For each segment, the associated application communicates with the apparatus 100 as though the device apparatus 100 is a physical printing device. As for a physical printing device, the apparatus 100 provides to the application a set of printer attributes defining the capabilities that the application should assume in formatting segments for printing.
Using the attributes that have either been programmed into or determined by the apparatus 100, the apparatus 100 emulates the selected printing device by providing the attributes to the requesting applications. The segments are formatted according to the printer dependent attributes using printer dependent segment formats for the segments.
The composite print job building apparatus 100, 210 as described above are preferably implemented in software by a general purpose computer executing a program of instructions embodied in a machine readable medium, such as the computer's hard disc drive. However, the composite print job building apparatus 100, 210 may be equivalently implemented in firmware or in hardware, or in any combination of software, firmware, and hardware, as will be readily appreciated by persons of ordinary skill.
The preferred embodiments of the invention have been described with respect to Microsoft Windows� operating systems using terminology generally used when referring to a Microsoft Windows environment. The invention is not limited, however, to embodiments for use in a Microsoft Windows environment. It is contemplated that the principles of the invention may be employed in computer systems that use other operating systems, such as, for example, Unix or Linux. In this connection, it will be appreciated that the terms, processing elements or modules, and processing steps used herein to describe embodiments of the invention for use in Microsoft Windows environment relate to equivalent or substantially equivalent terms, processing elements or modules, and processing steps that are used with respect to other operating systems.
It is to be recognized that, while preferred methods and apparatus according to the present invention have been shown and described, other methods and apparatus incorporating one or more of the features described herein may be employed without departing from the principles of the invention.
The terms and expressions which have been employed in the foregoing specification are used therein as terms of description and not of limitation, and there is no intention in the use of such terms and expressions to exclude equivalents of the features shown and described or portions thereof, it being recognized that the scope of the invention is defined and limited-only by the claims which follow.

Last chance to see the Transit of Venus Today
Today is your once in a lifetime opportunity to see the Transit of Venus.
- Print page

Venus started transitting the sun at precisely 8.16am today.
But Sydneysiders might struggle to see this historic event through the clouds.
Adam Spencer spoke to Dr Karl Kruszelnicki this morning who could see some patches of blue in the sky and was hopeful the day will continue to clear.
But a warning: if you want to see the transit, do not look directly at the sun, this could cause blindness.
Dr Karl recommends using a pinhole camera or watching a livestream on the internet.
"Or you can go to your local welding shop and by some number 13 or 14 welding goggles," Dr Karl added.
"I've got a set I've been using for 20 odd years".
For seven hours Venus will pass between the Earth and the Sun and you will be able to seen it as a black dot on the solar surface.
This allows scientists to calculate the distance from the earth to the sun. And this is exactly what a young Lieutenant James Cook was doing when he first chartered the East Coast of Australia
Astronomer Carlos Bacigalupo is part of a recreation of Cook's voyage on the replica HMB Endeavour.
He spoke to Adam from Lord Howe Island this morning which is also clouded in.
Carlos and his team have two optical telescopes set up on the island, one of which will be providing a livestream of the transit.
Today's transit won't be seen for another 105 years.
702 will keep you updated throughout the day.
Have a listen to what Dr Karl and Carlos had to say to Adam about this special astronomical event.

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Acer Aspire E700 Model S
- CPU heatsink, wireless USB adapter, tool-less upgrading
- 300-watt power supply, only has single digital TV tuner
Bottom Line
The Acer Aspire E700 Model S manages to work on both levels, as a PC and as a media centre. It has some upgrade potential, but the configuration we tested will easily handle a wide variety of functions.
Price$ 2,499.00 (AUD)
Although it's less likely to appeal to lounge room users, where the media centre is the primary function, the Acer Aspire E700 Model S should appeal to those who wish to use it as a PC half the time, and as a media centre the rest of the time. It has all the essential elements of a media centre, but it also functions well as a desktop computer, with some upgrade potential as well.
The Aspire E700 uses some good components to meet the balance between PC and set-top media centre, which keep it quiet and cool, without impeding performance. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.83GHz CPU is a good performer, but also produces less heat and can subsequently run with much reduced fan noise. We tested out this CPUs ability by encoding 53 minutes of WAV files to 192Kbps MP3 files, which it completed in two minutes and seven seconds. This is what can be expected from the CPU and a single 1GB of DDR2 533MHz RAM installed.
At the time of testing, this machine had Windows XP Media Centre Edition installed, though it currently ships with Windows Vista Home Premium for the price of $2499. The installed Radeon X1300 graphics card meets the requirements to run Vista's flashy Aero interface and will even play some older games as indicated by a score of 10833 in 3DMark 2001 SE.
The system comes with a 22in widescreen LCD, so watching movies and TV will be a pleasure. A single digital TV-tuner is installed, which allows one channel to be recorded or watched at a time. We were able to pick up and record standard definition and high definition TV channels cleanly. Time-shift recording worked smoothly in our tests and recording was also smooth, with no image or audio problems during playback.
The TV tuner occupies one of the two PCI slots leaving room for one extra PCI device, though the most commonly used PCI devices, such as a sound card or a wireless network card have already been accounted for. The motherboard comes equipped with onboard 7.1 channel sound that provides analogue outputs as well as coaxial and optical outputs for digital audio. An 802.11g USB wireless network adapter is also provided for wireless networking.
For storing any recorded media there's a 320GB (7200rpm) hard drive and a DVD re-writer with dual layer support. Installing additional hard drives or optical drives is easy with the tool free clip-in system. Three of the four hard drive bays are free for adding new drives and one optical drive bay is free.
The front panel has a sliding plate that reveals quick-access audio ports, four USB 2.0 ports and a 9-in-1 media card reader, supporting CF (Type I and II), Microdrive, MMC, SD, SmartMedia, xD-Picture Card, MS and MS-Pro.
Overall the system runs fairly quietly. The Radeon X1300 graphics card has a tiny fan that omits very little noise and the CPU fan is mounted on a large heatsink that keeps the CPU cool without much active cooling from the fan. Often when the system was idle the CPU fan stopped running altogether and the only noise present was coming from the 80mm rear-mounted extraction fan.
With only one RAM slot used, there's room for an upgrade, and the graphics card can also easily be replaced as it resides in a PCI Express slot. The only real limit on upgrading will be the 300watt power supply, which may not be enough to cover any serious hardware (such as a high-end graphics card).
Apart from the front access ports and the audio ports there's both DVI and VGA output depending on your needs. There's also serial and parallel ports for older devices, PS2 ports for a mouse and keyboard, and four USB 2.0 ports on the rear. A FireWire port is also available on the rear panel as is a Gigabit Ethernet port. A pair of small speakers is also in the package, as well as a media remote and a wireless keyboard and mouse.

I Never Tell Anybody Anything: The Life and Art of Edward Burra, BBC Four | TV reviews, news & interviews
I Never Tell Anybody Anything: The Life and Art of Edward Burra, BBC Four
One of Britain's greatest but least-known 20th-century painters gets the Andrew Graham-Dixon treatment
What a relief: Andrew Graham-Dixon got the job of presenting this documentary on one of my favourite British 20th-century artists. If it had been Waldemar Januszczak (sometimes interesting but too gimmick-laden and shouty) or Matthew Collings (sometimes interesting but too fond of the catchy sweeping statement) I would have thought twice about tuning in. But Graham-Dixon understands that the art documentary is not about him, it's about the artist. And it's not about trying desperately to come up with a new angle; it's about bringing the artist alive in a new way to a new audience that isn't patronising or self-indulgent.
As this is telly and not an art history lecture, lucky old Graham-Dixon gets to follow in that artist's footsteps to exotic, picturesque locations around the world. And so Burra was certainly the right subject to choose in this respect. Although his life began in leafily dull Rye in Sussex, and although he was horribly crippled from birth by rheumatoid arthritis, by the age of 15 he was off to art school in London. From there, over the next few decades, it was on to other early-20th-century arty hotspots such as Paris in the 1920s, Harlem in the 1930s and Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Initially, Burra was a garish caricaturist/satirist in the manner of Otto Dix or George Grosz (although artists as diverse as Seurat and Léger were in there somewhere, too) picking up on and exaggerating every telling detail of the eccentric, bustling crowds in the cafés and nightclubs he frequented. But as with his friend, Paul Nash, war eventually added gravitas and a new visceral power to his work.
Throughout his life Burra had been as hedonistic and adventurous as his physical disabilities would allow
That's more or less the story. But, as always, Graham-Dixon attempts to both get inside the head of the artist and provide an intelligent - though not overtly intellectual - interpretation of his art. There was only one moment, towards the end of this stimulating hour, when his reading of something Burra said in a TV interview seemed a little too simplistic. To the question, "So what does it all mean then?" Burra, with a teasing twinkle in his eye, responded, "Nothing." Graham-Dixon chose to ignore the twinkle and focus on the "nothing", seeing it as a nihilistic response in the spirit of Samuel Beckett.
My more prosaic interpretation of that "nothing" was that Burra was simply tired of being asked what his art meant, rather than tired of life itself. After all, throughout his life he had been as hedonistic and adventurous as his physical disabilities would allow. Burra, smiling, had already said in the same interview, "I never tell anybody anything. So they just make it up." Perhaps if the interviewer had changed tact and asked him about his favourite B-movies or trashy sci-fi novels, the old grump would have come to life. But instead Burra just kept up the habit of a lifetime, and left his vibrant, chattering, swinging paintings to do the talking for him.
But for Graham-Dixon this throwaway, teasing "nothing" (in my view more in the spirit of John Lydon than Samuel Beckett) handily fed into his rather romantic view that Burra's late landscapes of Cornwall and the Yorkshire Moors were his way of coming to terms with his own approaching death. I suspect that Burra would have been horrified by such a restrictive interpretation of these actually rather calm, meditative (rather than "morbid", as Graham-Dixon has it) works in which, for the first time, Burra used watercolour as it should be used – in cool, translucent washes - rather than thickly applied it in an effort to achieve the luminosity of oil paint (a medium his arthritic hands prevented him from tackling due to the weight of the brushes).
But this small quibble is just a difference of opinion rather than a criticism. Programmes such as this excellent biographical documentary function as evidence that television is still the perfect medium for delivering the maximum amount of information, in the least amount of time, in the most stimulating fashion. And should you want to spend more time with the enigma that is Edward Burra, an exhibition of around 70 of his paintings has just opened at Pallant House in Chichester.

No need for government holidays
To the editor:Since we can't pray to God, can't trust in God and cannot post his commandments in government buildings, I don't believe the government and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations, which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the U.S. Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter as well as Sundays. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the Christmas break. After all it's just another day.
I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved if all government offices and services would work on Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime, since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be politically correct.
In fact, I think our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God) because, after all, our government says it should be just another day. What do you think? If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the majority of all of the American people.
