The Corrine Eastern King is absolutely beautiful. The photos of it are a true representation of this piece of furniture.It looks great and It is well constructed and was easy to assemble too. It shipped quickly and securely. We are totally pleased with this bed in every way.Read More
The product description says constructed using cherry solids, veneers, and select hardwoods. It DOES NOT SAY "over particle board". There are stickers all over it saying "Made in Vietnam" "California complaint # ---------- for Formaldehyde content". The bed looks nice but the material quality and manufacturing quality is on the low side. On the two side rails, there are a total of four attachment points. One of the four was not straight so it left a gap when it attached to the headboard leg. Not good since the side rails are exposed. I was able to modify and correct the crooked piece (MDF, another synthetic) but this does not happen with "good manufacturing quality". Between that and the deceptive description, I would only rate it "fair".Read More

Learning to live with new, costly reality
Published: Sunday, May 28, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 28, 2006 at 12:29 a.m.
The issue: Recent insurance coverage cuts.
We suggest: Unfortunately, well probably have to get used to this.
Farm Bureaus recent decision to drop wind and hail -- effectively nixing hurricane coverage -- for thousands of south Louisiana residents took lots of locals by surprise.
But the signs that this kind of action was coming appeared long before hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
Yes, Farm Bureau sought and won permission from state insurance regulators to take the action after making what officials said was a strong case that the company needed to cut its risk in our hurricane-threatened part of the world to remain financially solvent, especially after last years storms.
Louisiana Insurance Commissioner James Donelon offered some hope during a speech last week in Houma. He told one audience member, who had lost Farm Bureaus hurricane coverage in the recent wave of cancellations, that the company has assured state regulators that once it regains its financial footing, it will offer to take back the policy holders who have lost out.
Thats nice to hear, but it hinges on a lot of ifs, ands and buts.
Since the storms, many insurance companies have hiked rates and quit writing new policies, but Farm Bureau has so far been the only one to cancel coverage mid-term. Its not out of the realm of possibility that more companies will follow, though none have so far indicated they will.
While shocking, especially to those now forced to pay exorbitant prices for less coverage than before, the handwriting has been on the wall for awhile. Weve long since passed the point of awareness that our coastal wetlands have eroded at alarming rates, leaving the communities we live in more vulnerable than ever to flooding from even the weakest tropical storms. The Gulf of Mexico is now at our doorsteps, and we live six months a year under the threat that everything we know as home could be wiped out.
Thats a lot of risk for an insurance company to assume, and the billions of dollars in payouts that companies have made to cover last years hurricane losses offer testament to that.
Now, lots of questions emerge. How long will it take before insurance-rate increases become even more widespread? How long will we continue to be able to afford to live in the communities we call home? Will the state, as the insurer of last resort, be able to assume the risk private insurers are increasingly balking at? At what cost?
Amid the questions, there is at least one certainty: Our insurance problems are here to stay. All of us who live here in the swamps and marshes of south Louisiana are destined to face some tough decisions as we grapple with the real cost of coastal erosion and hurricanes. Unwelcome as these changes may be, they are now part of our reality.

You don;t have to become a fully qualified electrician in order to repair your own home, but it does help to do some of the courses to get the basics. Especially important if you are messing about with consumer units and distribution boards, is to study 17th Edition wiring regulations. Below will teach you about this.
You'll need to learn about the 17th Edition course tips if you wish to train to be an electrician. There are many perks to learning this craft. To get familiar with what to expect, you can read the great advice presented to you here.
Electricians are not going to be able to find work if they don't get training in the right kind of course. Make sure you look for jobs and also that you contact them to see what kind of qualifications you have to have. See if they will tell you where some of their employees have gone to school, and that way you're capable of then calling that school yourself. You need to know what your job requires so you don't waste time going to a school and then getting nothing to show for it in the way of work.
Have you thought about whether or not you can pay attention in classes so that you can get a very well rounded knowledge of what's out there? Sometimes you will want to be sure that you are working only with a course that has a way for you to learn that is good enough for you. If you're more of a hands on person, find a class that goes to do on site work. If you like to read, get with a course that has the right materials for you to learn with. Most electricians learn the most on the job, but you can't get jobs without training!
Do know how to be safe, because if you're not able to engage in safe practices you will lose any licensing you have. Buildings have to be up to code, and so you can't just deal with it as things come up. You have to be safe at all times and use any gear that you have in place to help you be safe. Instead of always just skipping over life or death training, get really involved so that you are great at what you do and able to teach others what being safe is all about.
Look in your local library or online course sites for a 17th edition electrician course. This will train you up in everything you need and enable you to proceed with confidence.
Will you be able to get a job where you can work your way up as you go along? There is no need for you to work with your options if they aren't going to lead to you having the best possible work when you get out. The position for beginners won't be all that great in the first place, but you can get your start. Either way, you will want to know what your opportunities are so that you're not stuck working in a place that's going to keep you at a basic level.
If you need to buy parts, we recommend Cudis as a wholesale supplier of items like consumer units, distribution board and 3 phase distribution boards.
Now you're familiar with how to train to be an electrician through the 17th edition course. These tips are going to help you get things into order fairly fast. Just take your time and learn all you can so that you can have the best work out there for electricians that are new.

Love's Labour's Lost
by William Shakespeare
Love's Labour's Lost Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line)
Quote #4
NATHANIEL, reads
Thy eye Jove's lightning bears, thy voice his dreadful
Which, not to anger bent, is music and sweet fire. (4.2.139-141)
In the imagery he uses to describe Rosaline, we can see that Berowne is nature's student.
Quote #5
Consider what you first did swear unto,
To fast, to study, and to see no woman;
Flat treason 'gainst the kingly state of youth. (4.3.291-293, Arden edition)
The law of nature is primary, according to Berowne.
Why Arden edition? Part of Berowne's monologue was omitted from the Folger edition as it was not in the original play (and thus of questionable origin).

The product website I got never worked. I kept contacting customer service, if that is what you want to call it, by email and phone. I never got help and the emails were mostly ignored.
I called several times but the same couple of people answered the phone and just said that someone is working on the problem. That was a lie since nothing was ever done and one person I talked to on the phone knew nothing about what I mentioned to the other person working there.
The last time I called, the woman actuallysaid to me after telling her nothing works, "So, what do you want me to do ?That is not a proper response for any worker at a company when you tell them that nothing is working and no one responds to my emails. Any time I called it was the same old blow off lines and no one would help me or do anything.
I surely would not pay for Pro version when the free version does not work and no one at the company would answer questions or resolve the issue in any way. You also have to pay money every month to keep your product websites.
Anyway, I was ignored and nothing was ever done after countless emails and phone calls. They simply did not care, probably because I had not yet paid for Pro version, which I would never do with this bad company.

Alternating large double tubes and smaller triple tubes made of anodized aluminum adds a sense of greater height and lightness to the building.
Mancini Duffy/Winstanley modernized the building by overlaying cladding over the original building facade.
Return to Introductory Article
Looking to improve the value of its 1980s brick and glass, White House-adjacent building, Wereldhave Management USA Inc. challenged Mancini Duffy/Winstanley to give the building a complete overhaul while keeping it fully occupied and functional.
Mancini Duffy/Winstanley accepted the challenge and departed from convention by choosing to overlay the new cladding on top of the old, instead of stripping the existing facade and replacing it with the new.
Adding to the project's complexity was the limited bearing capacity of the structure's masonry substrate – requiring that facade additions be light-weight. To ensure this, Mancini Duffy/Winstanley developed a system of thin, limestone veneer panels that were bonded to and reinforced with aluminum honeycomb substrate and then applied to the 30,000-square-foot brick facade with light-gauge metal framework.

Owner: Wereldhave Management USA Inc.

Project Manager: Orr Partners

The group created a new design in order to modernize, renovate, and reconfigure the street-level retail areas and lobby – including new sidewalk paving, exterior soffit and arcade ceiling finishes, exterior lighting on the facade and arcade, windows of the main facade a retail store front door, and a canopy over the curtainwall system at the street-level building entrance.
Even though renovations on the fully leased building did not allow for immediate rent increases, the improvements enhanced the owner's REIT portfolio and increased the share of its values – making it a considerable capital improvement. And while not currently allowing for rent increases, the renovations secure tenant retention and will ultimately lead to higher rents.

"RE: I've had It With Nikon Software"
Hi Hecky,You should uninstall BOTH codecs, re-booting in between uninstalls. Then re-boot AGAIN after uninstalling the second one. DO NOT uninstall just one, and DO NOT uninstall both without re-booting in between. Trust me on this.When I researched codecs I ran into discussions involving people having issues because they did not uninstall both, or short cut the process by skipping the interim re-boot. When they finally did it "right", as I suggest here, their problems generally went away. I think this was mostly issues with iMatch but any app that uses them would have similar problems with "ghosts" left behind.The double uninstall with boots between "jobs" prevents errant objects from getting "stuck" in Windows because they were locked by something. And codecs are "automatically" locked solid by Windows. The idea is to do everything reasonable to make sure you are fully cleansed of both codecs before re-installing the codec of your choice.I really can't recall if Nikon apps need the codec installed separately and on a quick look do not see it listed as a requirement. If the thumbnails on the light table displays don't properly show the image thumbnail then you need it.The codecs are mainly used by Windows built in apps. Windows Explorer, Media Viewer, etc., use them to display proper NEF thumbnails.Some apps, like iMatch, have also used them. With iMatch it is optional but highly recommended by the developer (long story not important here).The main advantage of a 3rd party codec pack is that you take care of all the major camera maker's codecs in one shot. Otherwise you would have to download and keep current Nikon's, Canon's, Sony's, etc. One stop shopping if you have the need.A *possible* secondary advantage is that some codecs claim to be faster and more efficient, or users make that claim, which is why I tried FPV. I have some performance issues with iMatch that I wouldn't mind mitigating although I don't think FPV really helped in my case.There might be other subtle benefits. But if you only want access to Nikon raw files then it is not clear to me what *obvious* benefits you get from a 3rd party codec. I have not had any problems with ViewNX2 or CaptureNX2 using FPV but I have no experience at all with your codec.I know I'm raising more questions than answers but I guess I'm trying to say that it shouldn't hurt to stick with Nikon's codec unless you have a very well defined and compelling reason. And in your case, having problems with Nikon's apps, if it were me I would first do the clean uninstall and then install Nikon's codec, just to make 100.0000% sure that your 3rd party codec is not the problem.Also make sure you have current versions of whatever you install. The WIC codec concept is fairly new so it went through the usual teething process. One advantage of Nikon's is that it is free, as well as continual updates.

Muriel was a very plessant host. We didn't meet, but we were in contact via email. We got very helpful recommendations for our trip in Orlando. The house is really nice with a big kitchen. Only the mattress was a little bit to soft for me. Thank you very much.
Muriel & Javier were very excellent hosts. We used the Kitchen and the barbecue. That was absolute ok for them. Great. We felt almost at home. We can only recommend them. Good bed in a good modern, safe house. Beautiful surroundings. Everytime again.
My stay with Javier and Muriel was so much better than I could have anticipated. It was my first stay in a Wimdu property and I will definitely do it again. I was there for 8 days, and was made to feel very welcome with tips about good places to visit, and what the local attractions were on while I was there. The bed was super comfortable, and I felt very welcome and at home in the house. The Publix store was a couple of blocks away, and I was able to shop for groceries, keep them in the fridge and so prepare some of my own meals.
It was great being able to bike around the neighbourhood which was lovely with a lot of lakes.
I will certainly be recommending here as a place to stay for any of my New Zealand friends.
And I couldn't write a review without mentioning Mia - the lovely owner of the house who has such lovely clothes!
It was truly a pleasure to stay at Javier's place. Great room and very comfortable bed. He was extremely helpful with givig us a ride to the bus stop, and giving us advice on what to do in Orlando.
Muriel ist freundlich und stellt einem sein Grill, den Pool oder Die Küche zur Verfügung. Er gibt gute Tipps für Ausflüge in und um Orlando. Sein Haus ist sehr stylisch und modern. Das Zimmer ist dazu noch sauber und das Bett gemütlich.

At Oak Park meeting United Power asks Quinn for commitments on gun violence and affordable housing
By Ken Trainor
Gov. Quinn paid a visit to Ascension Church Sunday afternoon for a United Power for Action and Justice (UPAJ) meeting that packed the church with more than 800 people. Ascension hasn't been that full since Midnight Mass, which, as it happens, was the last time Quinn visited Ascension, so he's used to standing room only in church.
Plenty of Oak Parkers were in attendance, including more than 100 parishioners, plus state Senator Don Harmon, Village President Anan Abu-Taleb, trustees Ray Johnson and Bob Tucker, and numerous other Oak Parkers and River Foresters. Also in attendance were 250 residents of the Southwest Side of Chicago, whose reclamation is one of four UPAJ goals for the meeting. Quinn noted in his remarks that his roots are in that neighborhood (Marquette Park), also the site of a Martin Luther King march in 1966.
The rest of the meeting's agenda involved supportive housing, health care, and gun violence. Oak Park was chosen partly to celebrate one of UPAJ's accomplishments — the 51 units of affordable housing in the Grove Apartments development. As co-moderator Nick Brunick, an Ascension parishioner noted, "Grove Apartments was a chance for Oak Park to live up to our values."
On the issue of reducing gun violence (353 lives lost in Chicago since their last meeting with the governor in March), Diane Boese of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church noted that she was a gunshot victim at the age of 3 when her playmate found a gun and shot her while playing with it. UPAJ is focusing on promoting safety technology for guns, which in her case would have prevented four decades of medical procedures and trauma. Gun manufacturers, she said, "should be made accountable for their products."
Quinn expressed support for all of the initiatives, although he was somewhat vague on commitments of funding. He also took the opportunity to promote his own initiative to raise the minimum wage in Illinois.
He also talked about his local roots. He was a student at Fenwick High School when Dr. King marched in Marquette Park. He lived for a time at Lyman and Harrison in Oak Park and still lives close by in Galewood.
UPAJ runs a tight meeting as this sort of thing goes. They promised to start at 3 p.m. and adjourn at 4:15, and that's what they did. One of their members served as a timekeeper for the speakers.
And Quinn was there at 3 p.m. When was the last time a politician showed up for a community meeting on time?

There will be plenty of gun violence by police criminals against black men since NRA lobbyist Todd Vandermyde put Duty to Inform w/ criminal penalties in Rep. Phelps HB183 concealed carry bill. If any cop out of uniform or off duty asks if you are armed, then lies & says you didn't tell him, he can kill you and claim "resisting arrest." Rep. LaShawn Ford knew DTI would be used to profile blacks, but most of the NRA hicks live in small towns, so they figure DTI is only for "bad guys."

I'm working on a ground-up WordPress build as a personal project that displays future posts as a calendar of upcoming events. To do that, I've had to play around with the query a bit, but my posts have been appearing fine.
Today I moved forward to testing multiple pages, and I've discovered that, although the first page works fine, the second page just displays blank (aside from the header and footer). I found some code in another help topic that claimed to fix it, but it doesn't appear to be working - my second page still displays blank.
Any chance someone can take a look and let me know what I'm doing wrong? It's a local build, but I've put my index.php up on Pastebin here. The relevant code starts around <div id="contentContainer">, but I thought I'd include it all just in case. Happy to answer any questions if that'll help.

Dear... dears,
Happy to be here once more. Use to be a member here about four years ago which seems like a long time now. I'm amazed that the forum survived and deeper still that there are familiar names.
Probably won't be able to keep up, but I will enjoy reading 'em threads just like the good ole' days.
Shoutout to you all.

After migrating over to Akismet from Spam Karma, I was curious if there were any sort of workarounds to check my approved comments once more. The site's previous admin was letting SK2 do all the work and automatically approving comments. Because of this, spam was making its way into the site's comments - and I'd like to strip it out.
Having the ability to go over things once more would be really handy - so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears.

I was overcharged by over $300, the deposit amount I put down which was supposed to have been deducted from the final cost; a mistake realized by me, not the company.
The entire process took several months to complete. When I followed up on the status 3 weeks after the drive was said to have been shipped, i was told that i hadn't filled out a form which i never received to begin with. Also, the drive was said to have been repaired locally; only later was I told it was sent to Canada, at which point the company attempted to charge to transport the drive. Lastly, the $1,600 data retrieval which was paid in full, revealed itself to be nothing more than a partial retrieval.
At least 1/4 of the files on my drive are empty or unreadable; data which was listed as having been restored in it's entirety. I have exhausted every effort possible to contact the company over 30 times with no reply whatsoever.
With the money spent and the valuable data left unrecovered, I am left only with the opportunity to prevent others from experiencing the same. DO NOT USE DATARETRIEVAL.COM.

AGAIN, I went through weeks with dozens of attempts to contact anyone over phone and email with no reply. Finally I got online and used the website's "live chat." After only a few minutes to look up my case, the gentleman told me that my case was closed and nothing else was able to be recovered. I asked him for the phone number of a manager, who I was able to get on the phone and who argued with me for fifteen minutes. I furiously explained my story and he refused to comply with a refund. I finally got him to agree to yet another, small refund. I spoke with a lawyer who told me the fees to sue would likely be just as much as the amount I would get back so I did not pursue legal action.
Sir, you mentioned the quote and initial diagnosis process of a recovery. I did pay for the initial $300 diagnostic review and was instructed to "...log in to your account on-line to verify the recovered data." Do not be mistaken that I was completely satisfied with the cost for a recovery of all the files listed in the File Directory Viewer. I was told, verbatim: "Not until we have a complete recovery would the final amount be due." The issue here is that more than half of my files came back unreadable; 21,360 items to be exact. I would not have moved forward for a partial recovery and I want a full refund, but the manager with whom I spoke was simply unwilling to comply.
I encourage you to look up my case: #20606. You will find that everything I have said was documented just as well by your company as it has been by me and that nothing here has been misconceived. Now the question is, are you willing to provide the full refund that is owed to me?
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Gen. Hugh Shelton to Present 'Open Your World' Webinar
Join Opensource.com and General Hugh Shelton, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and now Chairman of the Board of Directors of Red Hat, for the Open Your World Forum webcast on February 16, 2011.
On February 16, 2011, opensource.com will host a webcast with General Hugh Shelton (US Army retired), former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and chairman of the Red Hat board of Directors. Shelton will reflect on his nearly four-decade military career and how his experiences in the armed services shared many of the same principles as the open source way.
Serving two terms as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Shelton experienced the broad application of open source principles, including meritocracy, rapid prototyping, transparency, sharing, and authenticity. During this webcast, he'll give examples of the intersection of the open source way and the military, many of which are also chronicled in his recently published autobiography, Without Hesitation: The Odyssey of an American Warrior.
The "Open Your World" webinar is free to attend but you must register. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 16, from 2:00 - 3:00 pm EST and register today to attend this event.
Immediately following his talk, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. Participants can submit questions in advance on the registration form or questions can be emailed as well. For any one who can't attend this webinar the recording will be available online for one year.
More information can be found on the opensource.com website.

I called the number and after holding for 7 minutes, I finally spoke with someone. I adviced the guy that I talked to that I didn't authorize his company to take any money out of my account and demanded a refund. He said that I need to fill out the request form on there website, which was www.contacteverprivate.com. I went to the website and had to send a electronic message to there customer service, or whatever you want to call them.
Anyway, I've sent two message and each time I get the same message stating that, "checked yes to receive there virtual debit card". I sent my third message today about my refund.
I called the bank today and told them about this and I made it a point to speak with the person who printed the duplicate check for me b/c I told her on the 11th that I didn't know what this charge was. I explained to her that this was a scam and I wanted my money back because this was unauthorized. She went on to tell me that if I would have caught it 48 hours after it happened they could have done something about it. For one the withdrawal came out on Friday and the 48 hours would have been up on Sunday.
Second, I'm with a credit union that closes at 3 on Friday's so I wouldn't have time to do anything. After talking to her some more she went on to tell me to contact the Attorney General's Office to file a complaint and to see what I can do to get my money back. She was telling the wrong person this because I know how the Attorney General's Office works and I knew it would be a waste of time. My job requires me to deal with them so I already know.
I told her that since they aren't going to help that I need the Federal Regulation E form to file a complaint. She put me on hold and spoke to someone and she said they are going to try and push it back through as unauthorized to see if I can get my money back. Since I called so late in the day it won't go through until Thursday, June 14 and she said to check back with her on Monday to see if it went through. If it doesn't work I'll be filling out that form and closing my bank account with them.
I don't want to here anything about it being to late from my bank. The transaction happened on Friday, I was there on Monday and Wednesday I was calling them to get there help. It's only been 3 business day since this has happened so there isn't any reason for them to to help.
In the mean time I'm going to keep trying to get a hold of someone at Ever Private Card.

Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server
This Iomega NAS device is incredibly easy to use.
- Simple to set up, Bluetooth support, Picture Transfer Protocol integration, preconfigured to RAID 5
- Can't write to HFS+ formatted external hard drives, poor enterprise-level security and server capabilities, no RAID 0
Bottom Line
The Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server doesn't have the shortest name, but it is one of the easiest to use storage devices on the market. It will do well for the home, but businesses may want to look at more heavy-duty options.
Price$ 1,719.00 (AUD)
Network-attached storage (NAS) devices are usually the realm of the tech-savvy, with confusing interfaces, lots of associated technical jargon and complicated maintenance. For those who want extensive storage without the complexity, the Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server comes to the rescue. This NAS device is easy to set up and easy to use.
The Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server's feature set isn't comprehensive, but it is sufficient for a home or small business. It has four hot-swappable drive bays, along with four USB ports and a single Gigabit Ethernet port on the back. It can work as a server for up to four printers, and can read/write to external hard drives that use FAT32, NTFS, ext2 or ext3 file systems; only read access is available for drives with the HFS+ filesystem used by Macs.
Both the 2TB and 4TB variants of the Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server use 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives with 32MB of cache. Out of the box the device is configured to RAID 5, but RAID 1+0 and JBOD are also supported. Iomega has attempted to make the NAS device as foolproof as possible, so the lack of RAID 0 configuration — which does not provide any form of data protection — is understandable.
The StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server offers UPnP AV media server capability with iTunes compatibility, as well as Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) integration, which allows you to directly upload photos from a digital camera. A Bluetooth USB adapter (sold separately) provides the same functionality for mobile phones. Iomega supports Axis network security cameras, so the device can double as a surveillance recording device.
Though it has plenty of features for home users, the Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server isn't as good for offices. It has integrated FTP capabilities, but its Web server is limited to the settings interface. Iomega also offers support for virtualisation using VMWare ESX Server 3. Unfortunately, the device doesn't provide the same level of remote and local security offered by NAS devices like the QNAP TS-639 Pro Turbo NAS, so don't expect 256-bit AES encryption. E-mail notifications are offered by the Iomega NAS device, however.
Many NAS devices suffer from a complex set-up process and Web interface, but the Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server has a straightforward and largely automated set up. User interaction is still required but the major steps — finding the server's IP address and mapping the network drives — are all taken care of during configuration.
Running the included software installs a link to the Web interface on a client computer; by using the Web interface you can automatically map the network drives in Windows Vista. However, although Vista recognised the mapped drives, we couldn't actually access them. When we subsequently mapped them ourselves they functioned perfectly.
Iomega's Web interface is clean and simple, with each option clearly marked by a colourful icon.
Unfortunately, while the StorCenter Pro NAS ix4-100 Server is easy to use and maintain, it isn't the fastest NAS device. We tested its performance by transferring 20GB worth of data between it and a test bed with a 7200rpm Seagate Barracuda ES2 750GB drive, over Edimax's nMax Wirelesss 802.11n Gigabit Broadband Router (BR-6574n). Writing data to the drive array averaged 10.99 megabytes per second, while read speeds were slower at 7.01MBps. Our copy transfer test showed an average throughput of 4.36MBps. It isn't unusual for a RAID5 array to perform slower than expected due to the added parity, but even taking that into account this NAS device doesn't perform particularly well.
Its ease of use and media server capabilities make the Iomega StorCenter Pro NAS ix-400 Server a good option for homes. Its speed out of the box may hinder high-definition media streaming, but changing RAID configurations should remedy this issue.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
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.

Desalination is a secure water source that doesn't depend on the rain - that's fresh water thinking. Find out about our two desalination plants and how they contribute to Perth's water supply.
As WA continues to experience a drying climate, it is important that we bring on new and sustainable water sources that help us become more climate resilient.
Desalination is not our only option for the future, but it is an important one. It is a more secure drinking water source than traditional surface and groundwater sources as it does not rely on rainfall.
Over 40% of Perth's water needs – about 150 billion litres a year – is supplied by water desalinated at our 2 desalination plants.
