This review is from: Redragon M901 Perdition 16400 DPI High Precision Programmable Laser Gaming Mouse
Pros: 16400dpi
tons of programmable buttons
user friendly software
multiple color configurations
braided cord
1/2 the price of a razer naga & logitech g600 with more functions
decent build quality
Cons: not so much a con, but as most of the mouse feels good and has a good build quality. the red plastic at the bottom of the mouse looks and feels like cheap plastic. but thats not really a big deal if it is. it still serves it's purpose. i mean it is only a mouse after all. and i don't see the cheap looking plastic breaking anytime soon.
Other Thoughts: my wife got the utechsmart venus gaming mouse that is the exact same thing just made by utechsmart., has the same features and specs and same basic look. but has a better build quality feel to it. but this one is still just as nice. i would suggest this one for the red and black color scheme, witch is why i got this one over the utechsmart venus. the colors matched my PC scheme perfectly with the red/black body and blue lights. but if you want a sturdy build feel i would suggest the utechsmart venus over this mouse. just keep in mind when i say sturdy feel i am specifically talking about the red plastic underneath the mouse. the rest of the mouse feels very sturdy and good build quality.
also wanted to mention to change the color of the wheel with out it changing the dpi setting, there is a button at the bottom that can be pressed to achieve this. or you can set the dpi for that color to what you want in the software
This review is from: MSI GeForce GTX 960 DirectX 12 GTX 960 GAMING 100ME 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support ATX Video Card
Pros: finally a green gpu to match my wife's PC colors
runs very nice and quite, well built. upgrade for wifes pc from a gtx 570.
Cons: performs better then avg, on my pc with a i7 3770k @4.0 ghz. but barely out performs a single r9 270x when the gtx 960 is paired with a AMD 1090t BE 6 core cpu even oc'ed @ 4.0 ghz.
to get full performance out of this GPU you obviously need a Intel CPU. sorry AMD CPU users :0(.
not 4gb or better
Other Thoughts: it's about time a company made some green components for a pc besides just lights. wish manufacturers would give a color variety on all parts they sell, to go with different color themed PC's then the basic red and blue. so lets get some purple, orange, yellow in here too. hell bet pink would be a big seller too. just sayin :0)READ FULL REVIEW

'Chuck' - 'Chuck vs. the Suitcase': I do my little turn on the catwalk
A review of tonight's "Chuck" coming up just as soon as I miss Ace of Base...
"You're my home." -Sarah (possibly quoting Billy Joel)
The second episode of season three, "Chuck vs. the Three Words," spent a lot of time on Chuck trying to apologize to Sarah for a personal issue in the middle of a mission. At the time, it was frustrating - even Chuck shouldn't be that oblivious after several years in spy world - and a harbinger of things to come in a season that contorted itself this way and that to keep Sarah and Chuck apart for as long as possible .
Whether intentional or not, season four's second episode, "Chuck vs. the Suitcase" has a similar structure, as Chuck puts his foot in his mouth early (first with his drooling over the evil supermodel, then with the "I still love you" speech about her weird suitcase thing) and spends a good chunk of the episode trying to make things right with Sarah. The difference is that now Chuck and Sarah are together, and so it's an actual couple fight and not a contrived obstacle. Couples argue sometimes, and Chuck, much as I love the guy and his show, can be incredibly annoying at times, and so the idea of an episode where Sarah's trying to do her job at the same time she thinks her boyfriend is being an ass was actually a lot of fun.
It was one of the show's occasional episodes to remind us that Yvonne Strahovski can, in fact, be funny when asked to, and I liked that as the hour went along, Sarah was becoming just as distracted as Chuck, particularly as Sofia kept turning up naked. (Loved the one-two punch of Sarah yelling "Put some clothes on!" right before she and Chuck were airlifted to safety.) The show put her in her underwear again for a few moments(*), but in the midst of an episode where she was carrying a lot of the humor load, and which climaxed with her having one of the show's more memorable fight scenes, as Sarah and Sofia backflipped and kicked their way up and down the catwalk, until Sarah was the last leggy, bloody woman standing(**).
(*) Josh Schwartz has been understandably noting on Twitter that NBC isn't running promos for the show anymore. As I talked about last week, that seems a sign that NBC has accepted that the "Chuck" audience is the "Chuck" audience and isn't counting on more, but at the same time, I don't know that it would've killed them to do a five-second tease during football of that scene.
(**) I had a good laugh, by the way, at how writers Rafe Judkins and Lauren LeFranc didn't even bother trying to explain why Sarah becoming an overnight fashion celebrity wasn't any kind of problem, either for her current cover or future spy missions. When you come to the "Chuck" Plot Hole of the Week, sometimes it's better to just ignore it than bother justifying it, you know? But I would be amused if, on a future mission, some random civilian recognizes Sarah as the supermodel who kicked the snot out of another model during Fashion Week in Milan.
Like "Chuck vs. the Honeymooners," this was an example of the strength of a show where Chuck and Sarah are a couple. Them getting together hasn't sapped the tension from the show, but instead added a new dynamic. Sometimes that'll play out as the two of them getting turned on as they do spy business, and sometimes it'll be them arguing about who left off the toothpaste cap while in the middle of a firefight. Even the episode's ending moments, in which we realize the relationship's Achilles Heel is that Chuck eventually wants kids and a normal life, while Sarah doesn't, is something the writers can do interesting things with while still making the show that we like.
Meanwhile, the B-story actually came up with a fairly logical, extremely entertaining reason for the inevitable return of Jeffster (and the rest of their dork army,and, eventually, Big Mike) while continuing the idea of the Buy More as a CIA substation. Jeff and Lester's video diary of their fugitive days was priceless (I especially liked the explanation for why Jeff named his pet rock "Bruce"), as was Jeff's uncanny resistance to Casey's beloved tranq darts ("I think my water just broke"). And their triumphant return to the Buy More(***), at just the right moment to help maintain Chuck's cover with Ellie, led to more vintage Jeff grossness, as he asked the pregnant Ellie "Is there room in that womb for two?" (No matter how he meant that... ew.)
(***) I laughed a lot at Morgan holding up the fan for Jeffster and company, a riff on how all Buy More newcomers (particularly the nubile women) seem to enter with a wind machine.
I'll be curious to see how things work now that the losers are working alongside the CIA studs, and with Morgan as the manager. Having General Beckman run the Buy More full-time seemed a contrivance even by "Chuck" standards, but I did like having Bonita Friedericy there in person, and if she's gone back to being a character on a monitor, then we missed the chance to see her interact with Jeff. Plus, while being the manager - and having to keep the civilian employees from finding out about the spy ones - should give Joshua Gomez a lot to do, I hope this doesn't mean he's done going on missions. The Morgan/Casey partnership is too entertaining to be scrapped forever.
Two episodes in. Two episodes filled with laughs and nice character moments and good action, whether implied (last week) or overt (here). I have no idea what NBC's criteria will be for giving the show a back 9 order, or if these 13 episodes are going to be it for the season (and/or series) no matter what. But so far, it feels like this is going to be a really strong run to the finish line.
Some other thoughts:
• With so much focus on Chuck and Sarah - and with Casey banned from Milan due to "the Yves St. Laurent incident" - Adam Baldwin mostly kept to the sidelines this week, but it was nice to see Casey, as well as Sarah, accepting that he has reason to view Burbank as something more than the location of his latest cover. I hope we'll actually get to see him play dad to Alex at some point - and to see more Casey/Morgan tension on that subject - but for now, John's smile at hearing himself say the word "Dad" was enough.
• Meanwhile, Awesome and Ellie's knowledge of Chuck's allegedly finished spy career has added a new layer to the familiar subplots about Chuck's family finding out his secret identity. And after being absent from the premiere, Ryan McPartlin got to do some very funny, and then sweet, material as Awesome tried to over-compensate for the lack of a Mama Bartowski to help Ellie with the baby. (And it seems only fair that any episode that puts Strahovski in her undies should also offer shirtless McPartlin.)
• And speaking of that subplot, props to the prop and/or art departments for coming up with so many pictures of Scott Bakula and Linda Hamilton with small children. You figure those were pictures of them with their actual kids, or a lot of very good Photoshopping?
• This week in "Chuck" guest stars: Isaiah Mustafa (aka The Man Your Man Could Smell Like) was given a lot more to do than Olivia Munn was last week, being his impossibly handsome self but also getting laughs with his price-gun target practice and other feats of super-competence. He also got a hell of a lot more screen time than poor Bronson Pinchot, whose guest appearance got left almost entirely on the cutting room floor, save for the gag about Sofia thinking he was Chuck's date. That was actual supermodel Karolina Kurkova as Sofia, and The Incredible Hulk himself, Lou Ferigno, as her lovestruck bodyguard Gerard.
• This week in "Chuck" music: "Flaunt It" by TV Rock (Chuck and Sarah at the fashion show party), "I Like That" by Richard Vission & Static Revenger Starring Luciana (Chuck and Sarah break into the backstage area and fight with Sofia and Gerard), "Feed My Frankenstein" by Alice Cooper (Jeffster and the other dorks return to the Buy More), and "A Girl, A Boy, and A Graveyard" by Jeremy Messersmith (the final montage, and I like how it also mentions Frankenstein in the lyrics).
What did everybody else think?

If you still have Dial-up, just buy Broadband. It's 10 times faster, and in some cases (optimum online) cheaper.Originally Posted by DarkDepths
There will probably be lots of data downloaded to the Wii automatically so using a dial-up will be out of the question.
It is tough possible to do this via a XP computer, if you buy a USB Wlan stick that supports creating a software base-station for client wlan devices to connect to like this one:ZyXEL ZyAIR G-220 - WLAN USB
Then you enable internet connection sharing from your dialup modem to the USB wlan and then your Wii (and obiously you have a DS also ) is connected to the internet.

If you still have Dial-up, just buy Broadband. It's 10 times faster, and in some cases (optimum online) cheaper.Originally Posted by DarkDepths
Like they said, you need to either have access to a public hot spot, have an internet connection with a WiFi enabled wireless router, or a WiFi usb(or pci) adapter. And actually in most semi-large cities, the broadband is far far far far far more than 10 times faster. For example, through mediacom I have 10 MB cable internet.
*Ack*, looks like I screwed up on my info. Next time I'll check my sources throughly before I post.
Zant was sure as hell not what or who I thought he was. He is officially the psychopath of the Legend of Zelda franchise.
#1 - It can. One will probably have to be put into a bridged mode and used as a hub. Only one device can actually act as a router (that manages your internet connection). My suggestion is this - just use the wireless router - most of them have ethernet ports and, as such, can also act as a wired router (so you can plug your bro's computer into it, too). This way, you only have one peice of equipment to fight with rather than two - which can potentially be a hassle.Originally Posted by Zori
#2 - The Wii can only connect via Wireless out-of-the box (It does not have an ethernet port bulit-in). Now, you can buy an accessory that converts one of th Wii's USB ports into an ethernet port. It's $30, but if you do that, you'll be able to use an ethernet cable to connect your Wii to the internet.
No stress, man - just ask, and we'll do our best to help you; we're all in this together, ya know...
EDIT: @ spitfire - having a wired connection will make the connection stronger than a wired one, but plugging a wireless router into a wired router doesnt affect the signal. I know that's probably not what you meant, but I just wanted to clarify in case Zori didn't catch it.

Actually you can bridge two routers and they will both act as a router and a bridge. Used to connect multiple LAN segments each behind it's own router.
ah, see - I didn't know that, vagrant. Most of the equipment I have is kind of old... He'd still have to mess with the settings on the routers and put them both into bridged mode, though, right? Or have they made it to where the routers do that themselves?
Nah, you still have to go to the routers menu and change it so its running in bridge mode. Assuming you have a router that will allow bridge mode. None the less it would still make more sense to just have your brother use the Wireless router, instead of bridging two routers.
I mean, even though its a wireless router it will still have around 4 ports for wired connections.
could you use your computer as the router, my comp is setup for lan gaming, could I possibly get to the internet connection through a network and USB them together?
Maybe you do not know... but not everyone has access to broadband, although I have no idea of how many don't. I know you weren't talking to me... anyhows, you can get broadband in my town/city, but not in the area I live.Originally Posted by Jenova
Hmm, so yea... I hope there is some way to beable to access the internet from a 56Kbit dialup connection, as to download Virtual Console games. I do think it will be possible, but I dunno. I don't know anyone with broadband and such either, or of any wireless access points, so I dunno :\.

Chocolate: Pathway to the Gods explores the 3,500 year-old history of this divine substance through ritual and obsession. From Mayan kings who were buried with it, to urban professionals who bathe in it, the film begins in ancient Mesoamerica and journeys throughout time to Europe's finest chocolate houses where chocolate is still revered as one of mankind's highest expressions of decadence. Archeological and anthropological revelations expose the sacred realm of cacao and give the viewer a whole new perspective on chocolate.
June 24 in Sedona and July 1 in Camp Verde
In Killer Whale and Crocodile carvers from two of the world's great carving traditions come together. A First Nations carver from Canada travels into the jungles of Papua New Guinea and a New Guinea carver travels to urban Canada. Together, they share each other's cultures and learn about the myths and legends that inform their individual artistic styles.
July 8 in Sedona and July 15 in Camp Verde
The Sign on the Stone: The Unknown Sahara of the People With No Name tells the story of how 12,000 years ago, after a period of extreme drought, the rain returned and life began to slowly sprout in the central Sahara. The first communities formed, culturally accomplished and able to define their identity not only through the mere physical survival but also to elevate their daily lives and primitive need to the complex level of pictorial expression. Through their cave paintings the shelters that gave them refuge became the place of abode and conservation of a culture.
July 22 in Sedona and July 29 in Camp Verde
Agave Is Life unveils the 10,000 year-old story of mankind's symbiotic relationship with the agave plant. Once a critical resource for survival among hunter and gatherers living in the arid regions of the American Southwest and Mexico, we learn how agave later became embedded in myth, religion, art, and culture. For these indigenous peoples, it was truly a gift from the gods. Portions were filmed in the Verde Valley.
August 5 in Sedona and August 12 in Camp Verde
Secrets of the Pyramid of Djoser follows Latvian scientists, archaeologists, radar and photogrammetry specialists and others, banded together to create a unique technology for exploring archaeological sites. In the oldest stone building in the world the scientific expedition discovered new underground rooms and a network of gallerie, forcing a reevaluation of previous assumptions about the role and function of pyramids.
August 19 in Sedona and August 26 in Camp Verde
Stone Age Masters: The Magdalenian Masters tells the story of the Magdalenians - ancestors that settled in large areas of Europe between 18,000 and 10,000 years B.C. Their art was amazingly developed. The sculpted bas-relief of the Roc-aux-Sorciers site in southwestern France is proof that a golden age of prehistory did actually exist. This film reveals the Lascaux cave, a showcase that suggests that the Stone Age may well have had its share of "Michelangelos."

Home > Press > Microfluidics Introduces Wide Range of Microfluidizer Processors for Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industries
Aseptic, Enhanced, and Basic Models Meet Industry-Specific Needs
Microfluidics has introduced a new line of Microfluidizer« high-shear fluid processors designed specifically for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The comprehensive line of 24 standard pre-engineered models is the widest available on the market and allows companies to meet specific processing requirements of the particular drug being manufactured. The processors are offered in aseptic, enhanced, and basic versions, which are available in various pressure ranges and with two different motor sizes, 25 and 50 hp. All are guaranteed to accurately scale up from lab and pilot-scale Microfluidizer processors, and may be scaled up from other processors as well.
Microfluidizer« processors are used extensively in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to manufacture a wide range of drugs (including cancer therapeutics, vaccines, and anesthetics) delivered through multiple delivery platforms such as injectables, inhalables, parenterals and transdermals. The processors generate a controlled shear rate which allows bacterial, plant, and mammalian cells to be safely and efficiently disrupted. They also impart the highest shear rates of any fluid processor on the market today in order to achieve the desired product quality for nanoemulsions, nanodispersions, liposomes and nano/microencapsulation in the fewest number of passes.
"Microfluidics is excited about offering the widest range of production machines on the market," says Microfluidics' Product Manager, Dave Gucwa. "No other company offers this level of performance and industry specificity. Every company's processing needs are different, and we can now offer variations that suit a wide variety of requirements in such parameters as pressure, temperature control, feed techniques, process monitoring, and FDA 21 CFR part 11 compliant data recordkeeping. Whether the customer is a major producer of injectables or a small startup firm looking to produce clinical batches, Microfluidics has a processor that will make it easier to do the job."
All 24 processors come with the Ultra Clean In Place (UCIP) system, eliminating the need for disassembly for cleaning (COP), as well as written certifications that all product contact surfaces have been ground to a 20Ra surface finish, electro-polished and passivated. In keeping with cGMP guidelines, each processor comes with IQ/OQ documentation, a document turnover package (including material and calibration certificates for validation support), and on-site start-up (and training), and is CE compliant. All processors include a skid-mounted pharma-grade feed pump and a sanitary flush diaphragm pressure transducer.
Designed to provide superior results for pilot and production environments where sterile processing is requiredŚfor example, manufacture of injectables, inhalables, and vaccinesŚthe Aseptic BioPharmaceutical Microfluidizer« Processor uses a steam-in- place sanitization step to provide verifiable sterility that always passes the Sterile Fill Test.
The aseptic processor's onboard documentation system includes data recording and transmission that can be fully integrated with the plant's computerized control and monitoring system. The data collection system provides validation support. In addition, the aseptic system's highly secure batch records are 21 CFR part 11 compliant. Aseptic processors come in 10,000 and 20,000 pounds per square inch (psi) models in 25 and 50 hp versions. The 50 hp model is available with synchronous or constant pressure operating styles. Hazardous duty versions are available.
Enhanced BioPharmaceutical Microfluidizer« Processors have instrumentation that is virtually identical to aseptic models, but are designed for manufacturing products that do not require validatable sterility, or those that will use downstream sterile filtration. All instruments and valves are sanitary grade and BPE compliant. Enhanced processors contain the same onboard data recording and physical monitoring system as the aseptic version. Enhanced processors are available in pressure ranges of 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 psi, in 25 and 50 hp versions. The 50 hp model is available with synchronous or constant pressure operating styles. Hazardous duty versions are available.
Basic BioPharmaceutical Microfluidizer« Processors are designed for economical manufacturing of clinical and production batches. Producers of oral suspensions frequently choose one of the basic processor models. Basic processor models include 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 psi versions, in 25 or 50 hp versions. The 50 hp model is available with synchronous or constant pressure operating styles. All product paths, instruments, and valves are sanitary grade and BPE compliant. Available upgrade options include pharma-grade heat exchangers, inlet strainer, factory acceptance testing (FAT), site acceptance testing (SAT) with IQ/OQ execution, temperature sensing with digital readouts, and motor starter panels.

The 11th annual 12x12 art show isn't just an exhibition: It's a chance for burgeoning art collectors to enhance their holdings.
That's according to Alex Gregory, Amarillo Museum of Art's curator of collections and registrar.
The AMoA fundraiser begins at 7 p.m. Oct. 24 at the museum, 2200 S. Van Buren St. A preview party begins at 6 p.m.
The show features approximately 100 artworks — no bigger than 1 cubic foot — from artists who were invited to participate and artists who submitted images of completed artworks to be considered for the exhibition, Gregory said.
Among the guest artists are Romy Owens, an Oklahoma City artist who will be featured in an exhibition in May, and Don Reitz, whose "Revivals/Revolutions in Clay" recently closed at AMoA.
"I think (the show) is successful because artists want to put their best foots forward," Gregory said. "Most of the time, they create new work, work specifically for this show.
"And the idea of 12x12 is that most people have space for that kind of artwork," he continued. "For people looking to buy, it's an accessible size, not a 4- or 5-foot painting that they don't have wall space for."
Bids on each of the works start at $120, and pieces will be available in a variety of formats, Gregory said.
"This speaks to a broad audience," he said. "There's something for everybody to like, regardless of their particular tastes."

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Genzyme is selling its diagnostic products business to Sekisui Chemical for $265 million in cash. The deal is part of Genzyme's plan to concentrate on drug R&D for rare diseases, advancing its product pipeline, and manufacturing.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sekisui will purchase all assets including diagnostic product lines and technologies. Sekisui has agreed to offer employment to the unit's approximately 575 employees upon closing, including senior management, and plans to maintain operations in all of the business' current locations.
Genzyme's diagnostics business provides raw materials and enzymes, clinical chemistry reagents, tests, and infectious-disease products to manufacturers, clinical laboratories, distributors, and healthcare providers. The segment is focused on the cardiovascular, diabetes, renal, and infectious-disease areas. 2009 revenue was $167 million.
"Genzyme Diagnostics has worked with Sekisui as a valued partner for more than 15 years," says Henri A. Termeer, chairman and CEO of Genzyme. "This history ensures a level of continuity that will greatly benefit employees and customers. I am confident that Sekisui is the right strategic partner for Genzyme Diagnostics, and that in Sekisui's hands the business will continue to grow."
The business will be operated as part of Sekisui Medical, which is a division of Sekisui Chemical based in Tokyo. Sekisui Medical has four businesses focused on diagnostic reagents, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, and toxicology research.
The companies' goal is to close the transaction by the end of the year. "With this transaction, we are continuing to execute on our plan to increase value for shareholders," adds Termeer. "This sale is part of our strategy to sharpen the company's focus and allocate our resources to key areas for our future growth such as manufacturing, our rare disease business, and our product pipeline."
In May Genzyme announced that it would seek alternatives for three business units as part of a five-part plan to increase shareholder value. In September the company sold Genzyme Genetics to LabCorp for $925 million in cash. That leaves the pharmaceuticals business unit up for grabs.
Proceeds from these transactions may be used to finance the second half of the company's $2 billion stock repurchase. The first $1 billion worth of shares was financed with debt. In 2009, the firm reported revenues of $4.5 billion.
Genzyme has been the spotlight after manufacturing quality violations were first spotted in its Allston Landing, MA, facility in June 2009. In May 2010, the firm said that it would have pay the federal government $175 million in unlawful profits from the sale of products that were made at the plant.
In the wake of all this, sanofi-aventis has offered to buy Genzyme for $18.5 billion, but Genzyme has repeatedly said that the deal undervalued the firm. The acquisition tussle has been ongoing since around June of this year.

Schneider Press Release
B+W goes mobile: SCHNEIDER KREUZNACH introduces a new polarizing filter for the iPhone
17.09.12, 12 Uhr
Schneider-Kreuznach presents its first filter designed especially for lenses on mobile devices at photokina 2012. The B+W Smart-Pro is a circular polarizing filter that can be mounted on all current iPhones and iPads as well as other smartphones and tablet PCs. The filter system is "clicked" onto a small magnetic ring that is first fitted around the lens on the smartphone or tablet. The filter can then be attached and aligned quickly and easily as required. It works on all small camera lenses with a maximum diameter of 8 millimeters.
The B+W Smart-Pro polarizing filter features the same high quality as all B+W products. It eliminates reflections and provides saturated and intense colors as well as an improved contrast ratio. This effect can neither be created subsequently using software nor can an app simulate it. The filter is ideal for all those who want to disassociate themselves from the world of standard Hipstamatic and Instagram photography.
The B+W Smart-Pro features a precision manufactured matt black steel casing with a magnetic mount and polished polarizing lens and is supplied in a safe and practical transport tin shaped like a keyring. It will be available from winter 2012.
Grand draw at photokina: On Saturday, 22 September 2012, Schneider-Kreuznach will be giving away the B+W Smart-Pro C-Pol lens at an exclusive prize draw at photokina.

Buy a house - and collect keys to new car for free
Published 16/10/2007
An Ulster property developer is trying to drive house sales - by offering a brand new car to those who buy one of his properties.
Part-time property developer Nicholas Lestas will give a brand new Ford Ka - worth up to £5,000 - to anyone who buys one of three houses he has for sale.
The properties include two three-bedroom townhouses in Trinity Mews, Ahoghill, near Ballymena, Co Antrim, and a three-bedroom apartment in Irish Society Court in the centre of Coleraine.
The move follows what is becoming a trend among local developers to offer incentives in a bid to attract buyers to new build houses.
Co Antrim-based Armoy Homes recently offered a three-fold package of incentives for its turnkey properties in Cloughmills, Ballymoney and Castlerow, near Coleraine.
Armoy Homes will pick up the buyer's tab for stamp duty as well as putting £600 a month directly into their bank account towards their mortgage costs for 24 months, although the deal only applies to those who complete in six weeks.
But Mr Lestas says the free car offer, which is available to anyone who buys one of his houses, is a better long-term bonus for buyers.
"The issue for first-time buyers is ongoing monthly repayments. With a new car there shouldn't be any maintenance costs and you'll get a few years' driving before it needs any work," he said.
He said this was an opportunity to do something really appealing for house-hunters: "The second expense outside a property is a car loan which could add up to £300-£400 a month, or the maintenance of a car which can also be costly.
"I felt this was an opportunity for someone to have their second biggest monthly payment wiped clean," said Mr Lestas.
Once the sale is complete the home-owners go to Lindsay Cars in Coleraine and pick their brand new Ford Ka - although tax and insurance is not included in the deal.
And Mr Lestas says the move is a business one rather than a reaction to the changing house market here: "In my view things will have levelled out here by spring.
"I am not worried about the market. I totally expected it - I'm surprised it didn't come sooner."
The two townhouses are currently for sale with asking prices over £215,000 each, while the apartment is expected to sell for around £255,000.

The Dallas Township Police Department announced seat belt education and enforcement activities as part of a teen driver safety mobilization program from February 14 through March 4.
Law enforcement and school administrators were at the Dallas High School to kick off the program on February 14 as students left school at the end of the day. This informational session was comprised of a police seat belt check point set up at the high school entrance and informational materials distributed by members of the Dallas High School Emergency Responders Club.
This educational outreach, coupled with enforcement activities, will raise awareness of the new teen driver law that went into effect in December. The primary law states all vehicle occupants under 18 must wear a seat belt.
The Dallas Township Police Department has been actively involved with both Aggressive Driving and Seat Belt Programs that provide funding for education and enforcement in the interest of traffic safety. Funding is provided by a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

AT&T is one of seven service providers deploying or trialling Cisco's integrated WiFi, 2G, 3G, and LTE small cell platform, the equipment vendor revealed on Tuesday.
The company's small cell solution is comprised of a Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA)-certified Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) supported by a small cell gateway. Combined they can aggregate and seamlessly switch between 2G, 3G, LTE, and WiFi air interfaces and give the user a continuous experience while allowing the operator to take the strain off their cellular access network.
"[The solution will] make that transaction without you ever noticing. It's the brains and control point," Murali Nemani, senior director of mobility solutions, told Total Telecom on the sidelines of Mobile World Congress prior to the announcement.
The technology is able to ensure that online services such as video streaming are uninterrupted at the application level, despite there being separate IP addresses for cellular and WiFi networks. The customer will not need to reload the application when the traffic is handed over.
Nemani also explained the inherent problems with cellular networks and how WiFi can be used to alleviate the congestion.
"The two immediate problems are coverage and capacity," he said. However, by offloading data traffic onto WiFi, operators can not only address these issues, but open up new revenue streams by providing retailers with specific location-based information.
Using triangulation from at least three WiFi hotspots, Cisco can pinpoint a customer within an accuracy of five feet. In contrast, Nemani explained that visibility over cellular networks once indoors is severely reduced, and only capable of locating a device within 50 feet.
With more accurate information available, operators can offer services to retailers to help provide targeted advertisements and promotions, he said. It can inform a shopkeeper how many customers entered the store, when they arrived and left, and their exact route through the store.
BT in the U.K is trialling elements of Cisco's small cell technology; other customers that are testing or plan to use parts of the solution include Hong Kong's PCCW, Canada's Shaw Communications, Portugal Telecom, Smart in the Philippines, and Thailand's TrueMove H.

The word on the street is that members of a grassroots movement will be mounting a big display at Phoenix City Hall on Monday, October 28. But expect a bold artistic statement, not a political one: Artlink, the volunteer-run downtown arts organization, is holding its Sixth Annual Juried Exhibition, a diverse showcase of 44 pieces by 31 artists from across the entire state.
"It's a whole range of media and subject matter," says event chairman Richard Bledsoe. "We have everything from pure abstraction to photorealism."
A painter and member of Citywide Studios, Bledsoe came to the Valley two years ago from Richmond, Virginia, where he was chairman of the exhibition committee for a cooperative gallery. "I became interested in Artlink because I had this background in community art," he says.
Artlink's Sixth Annual Juried Exhibition
Atrium of Phoenix City Hall, 200 West Washington
Will be on display weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Saturday, November 9. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. Friday, November 1, with live music from Off/Axis. For more info, call 602-256-4577.
Before long, Bledsoe embraced Artlink's do-it-yourself ethos. "It's a form of public service -- that's how I look at it. The quality of life is really enhanced when there is a very active art scene, but that takes a lot of work."

He acknowledges that maintaining an art scene requires a level of organization that doesn't always come naturally to artists. "But it needs to be done," he insists.
For this exhibition, Bledsoe enlisted the help of some official public servants: City councilman Michael Johnson and his staff sponsored Artlink's use of the City Hall atrium, and attorney general candidate and former mayor Terry Goddard is one of the jurors. Pat Haberman, director of Mesa Arts Center, and Rudy Turk, director emeritus of the ASU Art Museum, also are jurors.
City Hall seems to be a fitting venue for the show. If Bledsoe's attitude is any indication, Artlink members consider their efforts a civic duty. "I'm very proud of Phoenix and our emerging national identity," Bledsoe admits. "This is one of the places that's hot and happening right now, and we're all a part of it."

Android 2.2 450 Percent Faster than Android 2.1
"Froyo" is fast. Very fast.
The good folks over at AndroidPolice.com have benchmarked a Nexus One running the yet-to-be released Android 2.2, aka Froyo, and the results are quite astounding.
Using a benchmarking tool called Linpack, the AndroidPolice gang tested a Nexus One running Android 2.1, and HTC Hero running Android 2.1 and a Nexus One running 2.2. The Nexus One running 2.1 performed between 6.5 and 7 MFLOPS, the HTC Hero performed around 2 MFLOPS, but the Nexus One running Android 2.2 performed 37.5 MFLOPS in AndroidPolice's test.
Aside from the fact that Android 2.2 will fully support Flash, little else is really known about the operating system update, as its arrival date hasn't even been announced. The functionality and release schedule are likely to become much more concrete during Google's I/O Conference, May 19 and 20 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Maybe they'll repeat what they did at the Linux Collaboration Summit and hand out Nexus Ones to everyone in attendance. Don't bet on it.

Grant is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to enjoying movie set romps
Grant is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to enjoying movie set romps
'Stupid men are the only ones worth knowing after all' and the best of her other quotes
At least Hugh Grant can rest easy
Notting Hill star Rhys Ifans will play a down-and-out who accidentally ends up at the centre of a political protest in a one-man show at the National Theatre.
With his cut-glass English charm and endearingly chaotic manner (not to mention the floppy hair) Hugh Grant has proven himself every bit the leading man. But the actor was actually the 72nd person to be auditioned for Four Weddings and a Funeral, and the was the first to make it seem funny, Richard Curtis has revealed.
No one is suggesting that Mr Sherborne and Ms Patry Hoskins behaved with anything other than propriety, but who is to know what happens when the wigs come off?
The Hacked Off campaigners are not shy about proclaiming what they have achieved, and what work they still see ahead of them. In an almost evangelical tone, they claim that their high-profile lobbying helped force David Cameron into setting up the Leveson Inquiry, and that victims of press abuse were able to tell their story with Hacked Off's help.
Rupert Murdoch's hopes of drawing a line under the financially toxic phone-hacking scandal will be derailed in the High Court on Friday when details of more hacking victims are announced.
Ultimately, players are more important than a manager's media profile or his comfort with the metrics of the modern game. Harry Redknapp's current set at Queens Park Rangers are inherently inferior to the familiar figures whose allegiance is to Andre Villas-Boas and Tottenham Hotspur.
The 'core participant victim' on the day she gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry
Revelations that Milly Dowler's phone had been hacked propelled a newspaper scandal into a matter of public outrage. Today the murdered schoolgirl's parents will be the first witnesses before Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry into media ethics and practice, sitting at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Hugh Grant said yesterday that an officer from Scotland Yard's Operation Weeting team investigating phone-hacking by the News of the World had visited him and shown him evidence of how he and his family had been targeted by the tabloid newspaper.
The musician Damon Gough, also known as Badly Drawn Boy, hurled abuse at his American fans in an onstage meltdown on Thursday night before telling them he would "never play live again".

Adding a Split Tone to your photographs can be a ton of fun, because it gives you a way to express a photograph in a completely different way. For example, with this image, let's say that I want to create kind of a vintage tone here. I'm going to go ahead and start off in the Basic panel. Then I'll desaturate the image. Now you don't have to desaturate every time you Split Tone, but here I think this kind of makes sense. Then I'm going to increase the fill light a little bit, reduce my blacks, little bit more on the exposure, and just get the tone in a good place.
All right, well, so far, so good. I've converted the image to black-and-white. I'm ready to add some tone. So I navigate down to my Split Toning panel. Here, what I can do is I want to go ahead and actually add some color to my highlights, and to my shadows. Now my Balance control is currently -23. So I'll double-click the slider to take that back to 0. Let's work on the highlights. Well, I'm going to go ahead and try to find a nice warm color for my highlights. Bring up the saturation. Yet, it is kind of tricky to find the actual color, because these colors are so muted, or desaturated.
In other words, this green is at a saturation of 24. Well, here is a great shortcut for you. If you're on a Mac, press the Option key. If you're on a PC, press the Alt key and then click and drag your Hue slider. Here, what you can do is see the hue at 100% saturation. You can find the right color, and then of course, you can swing your saturation one way or another. All right, well, we brought color into the highlights. Let's do the same with the shadows. We'll go ahead and increase our saturation a bit.
Hold down the Option key on a Mac, Alt key on a PC; try to find a nice tone here. I want to get a color with a little bit more red in it this time for my shadows. Here you can see I've two different colors,: one for my highlights and one for my shadows. What this allows me to do is to control the tone for these two different areas of my photograph, in order to create an image that's much more compelling than if it just had the same tone over everything. So I can kind of honor the highlights in a way. I can kind of keep them a little bit more pure, a little bit more white, but not pure white, because that's not very interesting.
I can find just the right mix of this color in the highlights, and just the right mix of my shadows. All right, well, let's take a look at how balance works. In order to do that, I'll create a virtual copy. I'm going to do that by pressing Command+Apostrophe. What I want to do is increase the saturation significantly for my highlights. For my shadows, let's bring in some cool tones here. We're going to change the look of this image. We're going to do this just for demo purposes. Well, there we can see we have a different iteration of this photograph: warm in the highlights, cool in the shadows.
Well, Balance is really interesting. What this allows me to do is to either prioritize the shadow color. So now it's all cool or bluish purple there, or on the other hand, prioritize the highlight color, and there we can see it's all that yellowish green. What happens is a lot of times as you can find a sweet spot by swinging this one way or another, and then of course, by modifying your overall Saturation, until you find the right color combination for whatever you're trying to achieve. What this Balance does is it helps us find that sweet intermediary spot, where you can have these interesting color combinations that you couldn't have created really any other way.
All right, well, the last thing that I want to point out is if we go back to our vintage image here, which I'm liking, is that you're going to of course, you want to navigate back to your Basic panel, in your Basic panel, perhaps adds some other Contrast, or Fill Light, or work on your Exposure, or do whatever you need to do in order to finish the image off. There is always an interaction between color that we apply with Split Toning and also our tone that we apply with their Basic adjustments or for that matter with the Tone Curve, or with our vignetting, or whatever it is.
But just keep that in mind that Split Toning does not exist in a vacuum. Rather, you apply some Split Toning. Then you come back here. You can work on the image a bit, and then perhaps you go back to Split Toning to finish it off.

Ok so My cycles have gotten screwy so I started temping this month to figure out when I O. I thought I had ovulated on cd11 but temps did not show it then on cd14 about mid day I had tons of ewcm and horrible ovulation pain. I hadnt temped that morning so I dont have anything to go by but my temps the days after. We dtd on cd14 before the pains kicked in because I figured I had already O'd so it was safe. what do you ladies think?
Update: got the crosshairs. I have been pouring out cm all day. It is warm and feels like af so I keep checking and its not. I dont itch and it has no odor but this does not usually happen so do you think I should see my obgyn to check just in case its the beginning of a yeast infection. I know its way to early to indicate pregnancy so I'm not worried about that

Historical Traveler Reviews Habana Riviera Havana
Loved Havana City
After reading all these review i stayed a litle worried because i had choose H. Habana Riviera for my 3 nights at Habana City.
I've stayed at the Hotel on 28, 29 and 30 January 2006 and i never found cockroach anywhere, the room was clean, except the carpet that have some spots/stain. The WC was also clean. Just the decoration's room wasn't actual.
I have never expected 30 min for elevator, i've just waited 2/3 minutes and for an old hotel i founded it very eficient because in few seconds we get the 10th floor.
The breakfast doesn't correspond to a 4** hotel (at least in Portugal) but we didn't get hungry, we ate (eat in the past?!!?) what we want, we add omelets every days (and other kind of eggs), fruit, cookies, rice with vegetables, jam, cheese, toast, tomate, etc.
It's true that around the hotel there is no fun, but with 5 CUC(5€) you can get the city center in a few minutes and if you go in a Cocotaxi you can get a beat of carsmoke, but we have to think that the majority of the cars have more than 20/30 years. Don't get worried because there are also new taxis.
About cuban people, i found them friendly, i don't have any complain about them, just some employees at the hotel door weren't very frindly.
El mejor hotel que he estado
No tengo ninguna Critica ya que durante el tiempo que estuve 9 dias me trataron Divinamente fue de lo mejor por el momento tanto en el trato como sus restaurantes y sobre todo su comida y desayunos excelentes conparables al hotel Melia Cohiba para mi gusto y esto que cada a�o voy a la Habana
I wasn't planning on writing a review but after our experiences in the Havana Riviera I would like to warn all the future guests because nobody deserves staying in the worst hotel in the Caribbean. I should have paid attention to the other reviews and I would have been better off staying in some other place or never going to Cuba at all.
Flight: Getting on a Cubana de Aviacion plane is an adventure for itself. Must have been an old Tupolev aircraft from the 50�s or something. Well, the flight is an hour from Cancun - no big deal though but don't expect anything on the plane.
Havana Airport: Takes a while to get your squeezed stuff back and then the Cubans treat you like criminals (I'm not even American) at the immigration before finally getting out where weird people expect a fortune just for putting your suitcases in the trunk of a 50�s taxi.
Check-Inn Hotel: Seemed to me that we bothered the receptionist because it took her like 30 minutes to hand out room keys to 3 people at the desk. While you are waiting she exchanges endless life stories with her co-workers without even noticing that guests are still waiting.
Room: Basically ok. There is hot water, towels, cable TV, almost clean... Don't expect a toilet seat though (there are no toilet seats in Cuba at all) and if you find a cockroach big as a rat, just close your eyes and crash it with something big. Well, the power jams down every 30 minutes for about 2 minutes and most of the bathrooms are leaking but we could live with that. If you have a sensible back, bring a wheelchair for your way back - the beds are killing you.
Food: Well, well... At breakfast there are never ever salt, plates, spoons or decent food at all. Some toast, ham and cheese but just if you get up early enough to still get something. After 9 p.m. there is no food left but a cup of almost warm coffee can make your day. Don't even bother asking the wait-staff. They will not even look at you and all you hear is that there is no more food - or salt, or plates, or silverware or whatever. By the way, if you find a table, prepare yourself to share it with about 320 flees. After our first breakfast experiences we preferred having lunch and dinner outside.
Pool: 4 days out of seven there were no pool towels and we had to bring towels from the room. The lawn chairs (if you get one) are broken and rock hard, the pool water is salty and the wait staff prefers hanging out among themselves. Weekends are open for public (50-100 year-old male tourists from the west with 18-20 year-old local girls) which pretty much means that you have to show up early in order to get a chair at all.
Facilities: Some clothes stores, a little supermarket with about 8 bored employees, a money exchange booth (the employee had us wait about 20 minutes outside because her mum was there and she couldn't take care of paying hotel guests) and then the best of all: THE ELEVTOR!!! There are three of them and get ready to spend at least 30 minutes waiting and another 30 minutes going up and down with another 10 guests and countless employees ( where the hell are the employee elevators ) until you finally get off the right floor. Sure, you can take the stairs but crossing 12 offices before you even get there is no fun at all.
Location: Don't expect fun or entertainment in or around the hotel. There is one shopping mall ( one supermarket and some little clothes stores ) across the street and a flea-market ( just some pictures, shoes, cigars and countless Fidel caps ) 5 minutes walking distance. A cab ride to Old Havana costs you like 5 bucks and gets you to a place full of smog (all over the island) where you get a headache and a sick stomach after walking 10 minutes around. Besides that you get home deaf because honking seems to be a national sport in Cuba.
Employees Attitude: I saved the best for last: once I was told Cubans were supposed to be friendly and warm. After one week in hell I can say, all they want is your money. No smiles, no friendly word, no help - just rip offs, scams and hostility (I repeat, I am not American). Wherever you go, you seem to bother them. The entire staff at the hotel is rude and hostile, you are treated as a dumb tourist and to them you are just an open wallet.
Folks, stay away from Cuba and if you really want to go, do yourself a huge favor and don't book the Havana Riviera.
I leave my e-mail, feel free to contact me anytime for further information!
A Disaster
Unbeknownst to me my travel agent switched me to the Neptuno which had just been hit by the hurricane and so landed at the Riviera. It is dirty,the air conditioning barely works, and I had no hot water. It took 24 hours until I could get lights in the bathroom and only 2 out of 4 lamps were working. None of the public rooms had air conditioning so by the time I had breakfast in the 96 degree, 97 % humidity I was soaked to the skin.
Could be great
This hotel could be great if given a South Beach-style rehab. The pool area especially could be very special. But until then, it's quite subpar. A 1-star hotel by US standards at best. But it is definitely a step back in time. In its prime, I'm sure it was great.
Horrific Experience
Horrible! The one word that describes this hotel. The rooms were filthy, dust bunnies all around the room and stains all through the carpet. Our bathroom ceiling was covered in mold. When you showered the bathroom would flood. Employees were very rude and would often pretend they couldn't speak English after you just finished a 5 minute conversation with them. Food was terrible, dead flies all through the lettuce and they don't cook their hamburgers enough. My boyfriend ordered one and after one bite he couldn't eat anymore because it was dripping with blood. There are no toilet seats in the woman's lobby bathroom. The only pool at the hotel is right next to the highway and had a 2 inch layer of algae on the bottom. After staying 3 nights out of 7 we left and came back to Canada. We had booked our trip through Conquest and we're suppossed to be at a 4 star beachfront resort in Varadero but it overbooked so we got sent to the Riveria. Conquest did nothing to compensate us for the mistake. This hotel is rated a 5 star in Cuba but it would find it hard to even receive a 2 star rating in Canada. Don't waste your money on this hotel!
Riviera- The return of Meyer Lansky & the mob
This is the hotel built by the mob in the 50's, reminiscent in style to the Miami Beach hotels of the same vintage. It has recently been renovated, more ore less. The public spaces are in good shape; the carpeting in the rooms needs a cleaning or better still, replacement. The lower level restaurant offers reasonably good food, heavily based on chicken & pork. On the 20th floor there's a small restaurant with a great view and good food. This hotel offers good value, if you can bear in mind that you're in Cuba, where since the revolution, a tradition of good tourist hosting is just getting off the ground.
Possibly one of the worst
As a travel agent I stayed in many Hotels in CubaThe Riviera offered dirty rooms, torn carpeting andpoor staff. I took a tour of 30 people to this hotel of them 26 had serious complaints, toilets running over, bathroom unclean, articles stolen. One had been threaten due to a phone bill which was not ther's and they were refusing to pay. Never again at the Riviera there are to many wonderful hotels there.
Great Experience at the Riviera
My mom, sis & I went in the first week of July this year. The suite we stayed in was both inexpensive and very nice. Complete with a clear view of the sunset, it was a very pleasant experience. We're planning another trip before the end of the year.
A true Cuban Experience
Was there in June 2003 and had a wonderful time in Havana. As a single male traveller I was never wanting for lovely female companionship and good friends as long as the US dollars held out.The Riviera is a good 4 star. The restaurants are pricey but the food is good and definitely all Cuban fare. I only saw one other tourist there in the 2 weeks and most guests were cubans from around the country. The staff was terrific. I was taken to a hospital for confinement due to suspected SARS and when I returned they offered a big fruit basket and some warm words of encouragement. The hospital is a whole other story. The shops in the basement are expensive with mostly knock-offs coming from Panama. The Carocal shop is for basic needs and is priced fair. The pool is huge and deep and three feet below the deck so getting out can be testy. All of Havana is only a 4 dollar taxi away and the cocotaxis are a real hoot. They charge 50 cents per kilometre and are an open air motorized covered cart. The room was a dissapointment on the 9th floor, No balcony and the room was dirty by my standards...mostly stained carpets etc. The elevators work well and one big annoyance is the cards for the room, power and safe lose there codes every day or so which means a trip to the front desk. They will provide a small fridge on request that will make one tray of ice cubes every 3 days. The washroom however was worthy of 5 full stars. They even had a sink stopper which is rare in Cuba. The hotel has a nightclub called the Copa room and is very expensive. The show was cancelled several nights I was there due to total indifference and 60 USD is a lot of money to a Cuban person. I got this hotel as part of a package so it was reasonably priced but I would never pay 125 a night otherwise. Vedado is full of very good Casa Particulares to rent for 35 a night. The stret hawkers called Jinteros assault you as soon as you walk out but they are harmless and not at all agressive. ASfter a week, they can be fun to talk to once they get to know you and believe me...Cubans have phenominal memories...especially for a mark if you fall prey to one of their scams. The security in the hotel is tight beyond belief and eyes were on me at all times. The lobby bar is 4 bucks us a beer and 7 for a rum based drink. Vodka and gin drinks are not worth mentioning due to price and quality of the bartending. This hotel could raise itself to a five star if they hired an international chef and put some money into the rooms. The mattresses are horrible and the pillows were only 2 inches thick. I put my neck out the first night but they have a doctor there 24 hours a day to give you a \n asperin and a free massage. Don't let me put you off going because they do have better rooms with terraces and the restaurants higher end menus realyy aren;t bad if you don't mind 60 dollars a plate. Next time to Havana i will stay at the hotel National as it is the same price and a true 5 star.

In the meantime other (ordinary) Cubans struggle with everyday life, rarely being able to afford paying for the absolutely necessary things (such as water and gasoline) and therefore eager to do any kind of work to get even a little bit of additional money. My personal summary on this is that what I've seen so far in the ...
