Subjectively the performance of the X120 is very good. Its dual-core processor and Windows 7 combine for snappy general use that rarely falters. Most importantly, though, it can handle all forms of video thrown at it. We had no problem playing 720p and 1080p H.264 and VC-1 encoded videos in Windows Media Player 12, which now supports GPU acceleration for all of the above. CPU utilisation varies depending on the codec and bit-rate, hitting as high as 30 to 40 per cent for very high bit-rate VC-1 to as little as five per cent when dealing with H.264 HD trailers. Flash video isn't accelerated yet, but the CPU can handle it on its own so there are no problems there, either.
This excellent subjective performance is borne out in our benchmarks. Compared to the Medion Akoya E3211, which uses the single-core variant of the CPU found in the X120, the Samsung is more or less bang on twice as fast overall. This might seem like an obvious correlative, but twice as many cores doesn't always equate to twice the performance. Acer's dual-core netbook, the Ferrari One, is also bested to the tune of 30 per cent, though it remains an outstanding performer when compared to its genuine peers.
Despite its prowess, though, any CULV laptop - particularly one as portable as the X120 - will be judged by its battery life and it is here that we hit a rather large snag. To help retain the X120's svelte shape and portable weight, Samsung has given it a weedy four-cell, 4,000mAh capacity battery.
We've seen netbooks return good battery life with small batteries before, but thanks to its more powerful CPUs the X120 can't repeat this feat. While three hours or so might be possible under ideal conditions, in our tests the X120 managed a below-par two and a half hours. This might be enough for a short commute, but this kind of laptop ought to be aiming for closer to four hours at the very least. Samsung will be selling a higher capacity, six-cell battery at a later date, but that's still an extra cost to factor in.
This disappointing outcome tarnishes an otherwise excellent product. If battery life is a lesser priority, or you're willing to pay extra for an extended battery, then the X120 is still a very good option. However, out of the box, it doesn't deliver the goods.
Samsung's first CULV laptop scores well in the design and performance stakes, but is let down by poor battery life for a segment that's supposed to promote it. Depending on your point of view it might not be a disaster, but it remains an opportunity spurned.
Real shame about the battery life, I was hoping for around 5 hours.
Seems to be a conspiracy by each manufacturer to implement some form of achilies heel into each of their CULV products right now? Bad keyboard here, small battery there, lack of dual core processor (Toshiba CULV) etc etc etc
bv: It's rather like netbooks in the early days. Manufacturers are still exploring what people want and how best to implement that. I've got high hopes for the X420, though. It has a better battery on it and comes with an external optical drive as well.
Andy, any idea when you'll be able to review the X series Vaio? Battery life on my X is excellent although I haven't done any sort of tests...
If you can get used to the keyboard of the acer timeline 1810T (which I have and I absolutely love it) then its perfect. Su4100, 3/4GB DDR3, 250/320GB HDD, 11.6'' screen (1366x768 I believe may be slightly out) 6 hours plus battery life, and looks great. Oh and it can be had for £400 if you shop around - this really should be what they should have reviewed.
If you want a touchscreen then wait for the 1820p series (as above but with tablet feature) - probably won't be more than £500. I will probably sell the 1810 and get that when it comes out.
IMO the vaio X is stupid - less power than these new CULV models and if you want more than 3.5 hours battery life you have to add the extended battery that more than doubles both the weight and thickness, and is extremely ugly - kinda defeats the purpose really. Get used to being to bend the screen significantly whenever you open it, its so thin and makes me wonder how on earth it doesn't snap when it bends so much too. The keyboard is decent but there are better (read: vaio TT) but the touch pad is like something off the eee pc 900 with half decent mouse buttons. If you just have to spend a lot of money on a ultra portable and really want an exclusive branded computer then get a vaio TT instead. So much more power and the potability isn't practically any similar. Sorry to rant but I had to get that off my chest, If it CULV with some 'portable' battery life built in, I could justify the premium (still wouldn't get it mind).
I hope to have a 1810T in quite soon.
X-Series is a wait and see job. Sony tend to be reticent in sending them to people who might actually test them properly - at least that's my experience! ;)
I would second Andrew Violet's comments about the Acer 1810TZ. I bought one to use as a student teacher, so I needed something small and light, but with enough gumption to run powerpoint, smartboard software, show video clips as well as the usual office software, maybe several apps open at a time etc. And since I didn't want to have to lug a power brick and UK monster mains plug, it had to last all day - and it does, easily. No, it's not 8 hours of intensive multimedia use, its a full day of on-off use with a fair percentage of idle time - typical usage I would guess. And I love the keyboard.
Thanks for the pointers guys - the Acer 1810TZ looks to be the benchmark CULV sub-notebook right now - early web reviews of it and the closely related 1410 appear positive. Looking forward to a TR review soon (?) to confirm.
I've been looking around for a 6 cell battery for the Samsung X120 (JA01UK) and can't find anything concrete on it or a price. Has anyone heard anything on the 6 cell battery and a price?
@Andrew Clifton-Brown
Yes, the above mentioned Acer 1810 has a 6-cell battery (Or were you saying you have already bought the Samsung and need a 6-cell battery for that?)
@Martin Daler
I haven't actually brought the Samsung X120 yet, but if I can source a 6 cell battery for it I probably will. Just finding the battery is proving to be the problem at the moment.....
FYI all, an 1810T arrived today, so expect to see a review in a week or so!
Acer nearly always manage to have what looks on paper to be the best features to price ratio. I guess they have economies of scale that allow them to undercut the competition most of the time to maintain this. However what always puts me off them are reports of poor build quality and the fact that their machines just don't last as well. I'd always rather pay another 10-20% and go with Sony, Toshiba, Asus or even Dell than go down the Acer route (which I've done once and won't be repeating until I've heard better reports of their quality).
The Acer 1810tz would be perfect except it has no bluetooth (?!) and i'm not mad about the keyboard. Such a shame about the battery on the x120. The only netbook i've found that seems to tick all the boxes is the Lenovo U150 but it's only out in the States from what I can see with no indication of if/when it will be released here...
OK, have mine 2 weeks lads, it is brilliant, but battery life is crap! Admittedly I have come from a FSC Lifebook P7120 which had a 2nd modular battery giving me between 6-8 hours battery. The standard 4 cell which came with my "X120-JA01, Dual Core SU4100 1.3GHz, Windows 7 Home Premium, 11.6" WXGA, GMA 4500M, 3GB (1x1GB
+ 1x2GB) RAM, 250GB
HDD, No Optical
Drive, 802.11BG WLAN,
Webcam, 4 Cell" only last about 2.5hrs at max, even with Samsung power profile enabled in W7. Very dissapointing. I am a reseller/IT installer and I will be making sure I spec a 6cell before selling this baby. Other than that it is great. Performace, great speed to come back from hiberantion too. Mad to think I now think an 11.6 screen is too big!!!! That's what coming from a 10.2" Lifebook does!!!!! Anyway, bewarned about battery life, but then get this machine with confidence. ADIOS AMIGOS!!!
I've had my X120 for a few months now - major gripe (like everyone), is the battery.
On the plus side - there is a 6-cell available, but it's nearly impossible to track down. Samsung's UK parts dealer (digicare.co.uk) sell it by phone / mail order (not in their web catalogue) and it's £111 + £7.50 P&P. It's part number is BA43-00235A (the standard 4-cell is BA43-00234A).
I'm not concerned about battery life so I went for this one - only to find it had another downer that, for me, is going to take a lot of getting over. I had never seen a keyboard with both the back slash and the forward slash on the right-hand side, resulting in the right-hand shift key, which is only two-thirds the size of the left-hand one (if that!), being shoved out too far to the right for the pinkie to reach it while the other fingers stay close to the "home keys". If anyone has an X120, try this - left index finger on the \f, sorry, F, and other left-hand fingers on D, S, A; right index finger on the J and other right-hand fingers on K, L, Semi-colon; now stretch each pinkie to rest on the relevant shift key. \see, oops, See the difference?
I gather that nobody at \samsung (see what I mean?) sorry, Samsung, nor any reviewer, is a touch-typist :-/ This keyboard is a no-no for a touch-typist with the average female hand size, which is why I'm taking so much trouble to explain it here.
I'd also never heard of a laptop with no sleep-charge USB sockets so it didn't occur to me to check it out.
Very depressing.
i brought this laptop 2 yrs ago and has never failed me till 3 months ago when the speekers started making funny noises to be honest i whould never get this computer again waist of money

Overcoming the Flood
The door eased open to the hotel conference room and a stout, little man ambled through the threshold. He wore a charcoal, pinstriped suit. Underneath, he wore a pale purple dress shirt with a deep purple tie. His plump face hadn't been shaved in several days.
"Hello Bob," an older man greeted him, rising out of a swiveling chair. The man, Gerald, walked around the lacquered, wooden conference table. The two men shook hands as Bob pulled out a white handkerchief and wiped the perspiration off of his gleaming, balding head.
"You remember Sam and Patricia," the silver-headed Gerald said, motioning to the other two sitting at the table. Bob nodded at the couple, approximately the same age as him. The young lady word a red dress outlined in black. Her husband sat next to her in a white dress shirt that was unbuttoned at the top, and a blue, patterned tie that had been loosened. Sam had a grave look about him, while Patricia wore a blank expression.
Gerald led Bob over to the table and said, "Please, have a seat." Gerald sat down at the head of the table. He paused for a moment, his face wrinkled more than usual with a look of concern. "Well, we all know why we're here. Let's get down to business." He pulled out a pair of glasses, put them on, and glanced over a stack of papers. "James Alan McGregor and Thomas John Reynolds. We have to decide which one."
A look of shock came across Patricia's face at the sound of the two names.
"Blasted government," Sam mumbled under his breath, "making us choose like this."
Five years earlier, the government passed a law to handle the rising population crisis the U.S. was beginning to experience. Two individuals would be randomly chosen and a group of four was chosen to decide which individual was more beneficial to society. The six individuals in this particular case happened to all be connected. James, or Jim as they called him, and Thomas, T.J., were college roommates at Ball State. Gerald had been a professor at that time and had each of them in one of his history classes. Bob, Sam, and Patricia were all classmates of Jim and T.J.
"I guess the first place to start would be academics," asserted Gerald. "Jim graduated with a 4.0 and was salutatorian of his class. T.J., 2.5. Jim belonged to various academic clubs, while I seem to remember T.J. being a bit of a prankster."
Sam chuckled at the last comment. On several occasions, Sam had aided and abetted his friend. Gerald glanced over as Sam with a look of irritation.
"Please Gerald, that was years ago," Sam pleaded. "You can't hold something like that against him. It was just for fun, and nobody got hurt."
Gerald looked back down at the stack of papers laying on the table. The meeting continued for several hours as the four individuals poured over pages and pages of data on the two subjects.
"We'll take a break before we make a decision," Gerald said after they finished looking through the papers. "They need an answer by midnight."
The four dismissed and went various ways. Bob and Gerald went their own ways, while Sam and Patricia went out to a restaurant. They all returned reluctantly a few hours later.
Gerald brought the meeting back into session.
"Well, for all practical purposes, Jim seems to be the best candidate. He's better academically. He went on to do great things in the technology industry. He's the model citizen."
The four of them looked around at each other, hoping that one of them could do something to change the situation. Bob spoke up.
"I guess there's nothing more to do than log in our choices."
Each person opened up a laptop that had been provided for them and logged into a secure site. They cast their votes and went their separate ways.
A few weeks later, Sam saw the top story on the news. T.J. was going to be executed in a few short weeks. A look of bewilderment came over him.
"Honey," he yelled to her upstairs where she was changing into some sweatpants and a tank top.
She peeked her head around the corner in the hallway.
"Who did you pick?"
"Who did you pick? Jim or T.J.?"
"Jim. Why?"
"I did too, but he's not the one."
Patricia had made her way into the living room by that time to see T.J.'s face on the screen. A look of horror came over her.
"That can't be right. How could it be him. Bob said he picked Jim too. How did T.J. end up being the one?"
"I don't know," said Sam as he picked up his phone and began dialing a number. "We've got to do something. I can't let T.J. die."

Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
PURPOSE: With the number of FDA-approved treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) increasing yearly, current and reliable information about PAH management is needed. The REVEAL Registry is a multicenter, observational, U.S.-based study that should meet this need. One objective of the registry is to characterize treatment of patients diagnosed with PAH.
METHODS: All consenting patients with PAH are being enrolled at 50 sites in the US. Patients will be followed for a minimum of five years from the time of enrollment. Enrollment data include thorough clinical and treatment history, physical examination, and assessment of disease severity.
RESULTS: Among the initial 1226 patients, at the time of enrollment 8% were receiving no PAH-specific medications, 44% received only oral medications, and 31% received a prostacyclin combined with other medications. PAH-specific medications included: 9%, calcium channel blocker (CCB); 44%, prostacyclin analogue; 47%, endothelin receptor antagonist; and 46%, phosphodiesterase inhibitor. 47% of the patients were treated with monotherapy (bosentan, 13%; sildenafil, 13%; epoprostenol IV, 8%; sitaxsentan, 2%, and CCB, 4%). 36% received 2 drug combination therapy (epoprostenol IV + sildenafil, 8%; bosentan + sildenafil, 8%; bosentan + epoprostenol, 3%; bosentan + inhaled iloprost, 3%; and sildenafil + inhaled iloprost, 2%), and 9% received 3 or more PAH-specific medications. Functional class was only significantly associated with prostacyclin therapy (FC I, 24%; FC II, 40%; FC III, 50%; FC IV, 61%; P<0.001).
CONCLUSION: Eight percent of patients enrolled in the registry are not receiving any PAH-specific medication. Forty-four percent of the patients are receiving only oral medications. Combination therapy, without supporting data from clinical trials, is already frequently used to treat patients with PAH.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Despite the absence of rigorous evidence supporting multi-drug therapy, we anticipated and found a diverse array of treatment strategies. Further studies are needed to determine the optimal strategy initiating combination therapy in patients with PAH.

Wow, at first I thought it was you that changed your beliefs and was kind of shocked, as I know you are a deeply believing person, but it turns out your time has probably yet to come. ;]
28 February 2014 at 10:17 am
Perhaps it should have been labeled, "Something More: Guest Post – …" 🙂
In any case, truth be told, I thought that post was rather tactless, due to the unnecessary emotional invective (the profanity), and in any case, just because there is evil in the world, does not mean that a being known as a "god" does not exist. God's existence does not hinge upon when or if He gives a person what they want and on their terms.
28 February 2014 at 8:18 pm
FROM THE ACTUAL POST – "However, just because I wouldn't worship an all-powerful asshole, working in mysterious ways or otherwise, it still doesn't determine whether 'said asshole' existed or not." Did you read this part, I mean it literally says it like 'right there' that believing god is evil doesn't mean a god wouldn't exist?
It also said believing religious text to be fiction wouldn't mean a god wouldn't exist either. The reason was because faith in god can be transferred to faith in anything unobservant and silly, applying Occams Razor was the only natural next step.
28 February 2014 at 8:25 pm
Fair enough, yes, I did read, but somehow I missed that, thanks.
28 February 2014 at 8:38 pm
I appreciate criticism, I really do and the 'profanity' was a good point that I'm going to change in it. I will easily change my views from a good argument. Next time just make sure it's a criticism of something I actually wrote. Thanks.
28 February 2014 at 9:11 pm
You are welcome, and I do wish you the best, in whatever form it comes. Sorry for missing what you wrote, but I am curious as to on what grounds you decide that something is "evil" or not. Is the fairness or unfairness in the world that you mentioned, good or evil, for example, and how do you know?
1 March 2014 at 12:11 am
I wouldn't say that good and evil are 'things', we can't really measure them empirically. I would say it's a title we give in reaction to something we deem negative. This is why I was reluctant to use the word evil in the first place, because what may seem evil to the prey might seem good to the predator and vise-versa.
What I would deem evil may not be what others deem evil and the same with what I deem good, however, I think that only someone who gets pleasure from their own suffering would think that someone who was allowing you to suffer when they had the power to stop it was not evil.
As for your time remark below. I don't believe in an afterlife and see no evidence to, that's why I make the most of the consciousness i have now by enjoying myself and at the same time doing what i can to make it last.

What, then, of laws? Are they necessary? Arbitrary? Which laws are just or unjust, and how should that be decided in practical terms?
My point of consciousness and the temporary nature of life was to question whether even "making the most of the consciousness I have now" ultimately has a lasting purpose, and to question how I would know either way.

But I really do appreciate your changing the profanity, though. It means a lot, because too often I see (not from you, but from people who curse and appeal to emotion a ~whole~ lot more than you seemed to) that sort of thing being substituted for actual logic and reason. In other words, if a person were … I don't know, somehow made or forced to calm down before presenting their case, would they have any actual facts or reasoning to fall back on, rather than what I think of as being emotional brute force?

When I used the word 'asshole' it wasn't intended to trigger anger, I was't angry when i was writing it, I just couldn't think of a better noun for someone which suited the description of who does nothing to stop the suffering of many of the people he claims to love.
28 February 2014 at 11:43 pm
In the end, to be honest, no one lives forever, regardless of whether their lives were happy, sad, long, or short. In my mind that raises the question of what really matters and lasts forever, because even the worst (and the best) this world has to offer will eventually fade.
Thanks for putting my post on this website, I appreciate it. I just really hope people would read what I wrote and not represent my position.

Very interesting read from Fantasy and Anime blog. I watched Neon Genesis when I was still an Atheist, maybe now I should watch it again to pick up on the things that I missed. Though I do wonder if the author believes if there is such a thing as an objective morality or that what's considered good or evil is simply relative to the society someone lives in.
28 February 2014 at 11:46 pm
Well here the author is to answer your pondering. I think you're second description of morality suits my beliefs better, but I would go beyond that to a genetic level where a certain few reactions that favor survival are a part our biology.
I think I should mention that while Occam's Razor and Russell's Teapot are solid philosophical concepts, they come out of the Dungeons and Dragons section of the scientific method, i.e., they're guidelines rather than rules. Occam's point was that hypotheses and theories should not be excessively complex and try to account for too much. And as for needing proof of God's existence, that more or less depends on what kind of evidence is being sought and whether one can reasonably expect to find it; it's no use looking for evidence that can and will never be found.
Anyway, just my $0.02 on a thoughtful post.
3 March 2014 at 3:44 am
The philosophy of science has advanced and so has Occam's Razor. Russell Teapot theory is just as valid to show the burden of proof as it has always been which is why we still use it in a court of law when determining if someone is guilty or not. "no use looking for evidence that can and will never be found" is well an good if a little short sighted but it extents to fact that we should assume answers from lack of evidence, that would be an argument from ignorance.

Just wanted to point this out, Magical Wafer is not the anime Aroduc was talking about Charles 😉

Canim Lake is the traditional territory of the Secwepemc (Shuswap) First Nations Band. The Native people of Canim Lake and their ancestors are a part of what is known as the Lake Division of the Shuswap Tribe within the Interior Salish Nations in B.C. Canim Lake region is made up of six parcels of designated reserve land totaling 2,029 hectares that were originally set aside for the band by the Reilly Commission in 1887.
Archaeological evidence of ancient habitation in the Soda Creek region of the Cariboo during the summer of 1995 was carbon dated at approximately 4,300 years old.
The name Canim appropriately means canoe in the Chinook language.
Canim Lake is located on Canim Lake Road, approximately 35 km (22 mi) northeast of 100 Mile House in the Cariboo Region. From 100 Mile House, proceed north on Highway 97. Approximately 3 km (2 mi) north of 100 Mile House is the turnoff that heads east via Forest Grove to the community of Canim Lake.
The 37 km (23 mi) long Canim Lake is one of the larger lakes in the Cariboo, surrounded by expansive meadows, mountains, rolling hills, and forests of pine, spruce and Douglas-fir trees. Numerous resorts dot the shoreline of the magnificent Canim Lake, which has a distinctive lushness to it due in part to its lower elevation. Many summer and winter activities can be enjoyed on the lake.
Located at the east end of Canim Lake in Wells Gray Provincial Park, Canim Falls can be reached by following the trail that starts from the logging road that parallels the south side of Canim Lake. Deception Falls and Mahood Falls are other magnificent waterfalls to see in the area.
This provincial park is one of British Columbia's largest and most spectacular parks. There are five major lakes here, as well as two large river systems, numerous small lakes, streams, and waterways, and a multitude of waterfalls, rapids, and cataracts. Although boating and paddling are major attractions for campers, the area has something for everyone. In winter, there are just as many opportunities for recreation as in summer, with the advantage of no bugs! This park is as ideal as any other in the province, with a climate and terrain varied enough to suit the most demanding backpacker or mountaineer.
Backcountry enthusiasts love the landscape when Canim Lake freezes over. Snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and Dog-sledding are all other adventurous ways one can experience the beauty of the Canim Lake trails.
Canim Lake is serious angling country in summer, offering some of the finest freshwater fly-fishing in British Columbia. Canim Lake is the angling centre of a region famed for the size of its char, or laker, as the fish are referred to locally. Anglers look for kokanee, rainbow, lake trout up to 25 lbs, or ling cod. Ice Fishing season on Canim Lake runs from mid December to mid March, offering Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, Kokanee and Burbot (freshwater Ling Cod).
Through out the area and nearby provincial parks there are an endless amount of trails for hiking and mountain biking. The hundreds of kilometres of logging roads lead far into the wilderness providing good access to the backcountry and provide great opportunities for some exciting wildlife viewing. Wildlife is abundant in the Canim Lake area, including black bears, moose, mule deer, wolves, coyotes, cougars, beavers, otters, waterfowl, hawks, bald eagles and song birds.
The surrounding mountains and ranch country offers excellent terrain for horseback riding. If you want a horse adventure, this is the way to go. Local lodges offer rides for beginner and experienced riders, as well as overnight packaged trips that offer camping under the stars after a day in the saddle.
Canim Lake offers beautiful scenery for one to enjoy while participating in various water activities. Canoeing and kayaking on the lake are popular ways to spend a day on the waters. Due to the significant size of the lake, it is advised to remain close to the shoreline in case the wind picks up. Large waves can develop quite suddenly and present risky paddling conditions. Furthermore, other water recreational activities are offered such as boating, jet skiing and great beaches.
The Cariboo Marathon is a popular event in the area, attracting an international field of skiers, annually, during the first weekend in February. The Cariboo Marathon is a 50 kilometer classic technique beginning with a mass start for all distances and categories at Keene Road (6 km south of 100 Mile House on Highway 97). The Marathon finish is at the 100 Mile Nordics 99 Mile Ski Trail Stadium. The event features a 50-km full marathon, a 30-km mini marathon, a 20-km and a 10-km recreational category, a 20-km for Juniors and a 10-km for Jackrabbits. Held in late January or early February.
Held in February the annual Snowmobile Drag Races is always an exciting event in this area. Trophy, cash, tether cord and helmets are required to participate. Located on 99 Mile Snowmobile Track, just south of 100 Mile House.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has probably the best local baseball coverage of any newspaper in the country. You'll want to read everything you can find over there today. Here's a shot of Sunday's front page:
Report: Charlie Sheen has original cast on board for Major League III, looking for financial backing
TMZ is reporting that actor Charlie Sheen has the original cast on board for Major League III but is still looking for financial backing. TMZ cites Sheen referring to the script as "dynamite."
The original Major League came out in 1989 and debuted at No. 1 at the box office. That spurred a sequel, Major League II, which was released five years later in 1994. Despite negative reviews, II debuted at No. 1 at the box office as well. Major League: Back to the Minors was released in 1998, but tanked at the box office and received mostly negative reviews.
Given that trend, one might wonder why anyone would attempt Major League III, and one would be correct to raise that question. But it's been 19 years since the last installment and 27 years since the original. People in their early 30's and 40's with nostalgia and disposable income will likely be willing to pay to relive a blast from the past. In my humble opinion, Major League is the finest of the baseball movies, so I'll at least be curious if Sheen ends up getting financial backing.
Sheen has had, well, an interesting life in the last two decades so it's no sure thing that people with money will trust him to stay out of trouble.
Jose Bautista is starting at third base for the first time in over four years
Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista is getting a rare start at third base today. How rare is it? Sportsnet's Hazel Mae notes that he last started at third base on April 14, 2013 against the Royals.
Bautista has played some third base already this year. On April 27 against the Cardinals, Bautista pinch-hit for third baseman Chris Coghlan and stayed in the game at the position. Last Saturday, Bautista moved from right field to third base as part of a handful of defensive switches. Overall, he's played four defensive innings at the hot corner this season.
The Blue Jays have had to get creative at third base while Josh Donaldson has dealt with a calf injury. Darwin Barney and Chris Coghlan have drawn most of the starts at third base, but catcher Russell Martin started there on Sunday and tonight we'll see Bautista there.

Neville recovered and looked at the scene in front of him, Ginny and Harry with thier arms round each other, Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione smiling as two hippogriffs did a funny kind of hug (as they couldn't hug properly on two legs).
They betrayed me, he thought to himself, glaring at Frank. He glanced at the stunned and dead Nargles around him.
He yelled at the top of his voice, 'AHHHH!'
They spun round to look at him, Harry had forgotton about Neville.
Harry strided towards Neville, who was now kneeling on the floor, thinking about his worries. He cowered as Harry approached, but instead of what Neville thought was going to happen, Harry offered Neville his hand for help getting up.
Harry smiled at Neville kindly. Everyone else smiled with joy and from seeing this act of such kindness.
'I guess thats it then.' Harry said, walking with his arm round Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Dumbledore walking alongside him, and Neville walking shamefully behind.
'Oh no Harry.' Dumbledore said, 'Your life has only just begun.'

Study: Marijuana, Driving Laws Have No Scientific Basis
WASHINGTON — Six states that allow marijuana use have legal tests to determine driving while impaired by the drug that have no scientific basis, according to a study by the nation's largest automobile club that calls for scrapping those laws.
The study commissioned by AAA's safety foundation said it's not possible to set a blood-test threshold for THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes people high, that can reliably determine impairment. Yet the laws in five of the six states automatically presume a driver guilty if that person tests higher than the limit, and not guilty if it's lower.
As a result, drivers who are unsafe may be going free while others may be wrongly convicted, the foundation said.
'Approach is flawed'
The foundation recommends replacing the laws with ones that rely on specially trained police officers to determine if a driver is impaired, backed up by a test for the presence of THC rather than a specific threshold. The officers are supposed to screen for dozens of indicators of drug use, from pupil dilation and tongue colour to behaviour.
The foundation's recommendation to scrap the laws in Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington comes as legislatures in several more states consider adopting similar laws.
At least three states, and possibly as many as eleven, will also vote this fall on ballot measures to legalize marijuana for either recreational or medicinal use, or both. Several legislatures are also considering legalization bills.
"There is understandably a strong desire by both lawmakers and the public to create legal limits for marijuana impairment in the same manner we do alcohol," said Marshall Doney, AAA's president and CEO. "In the case of marijuana, this approach is flawed and not supported by scientific research."
Determining whether someone is impaired by marijuana, as opposed to having merely used the drug at some time, is far more complex than the simple and reliable tests that have been developed for alcohol impairment.
There's no science that shows drivers become impaired at a specific level of THC in the blood. A lot depends upon the individual. Drivers with relatively high levels of THC in their systems might not be impaired, especially if they are regular users, while others with relatively low levels may be unsafe behind the wheel.
The study said it's not possible to set a blood-test threshold for THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes people high, that can reliably determine impairment. (Getty Images)
Some drivers may be impaired when they are stopped by police, but by the time their blood is tested they have fallen below the legal threshold because active THC dissipates rapidly. The average time to collect blood from a suspected driver is often more than two hours because taking a blood sample typically requires a warrant and transport to a police station or hospital, the foundation said.
In addition, frequent marijuana users can exhibit persistent levels of the drug long after use, while THC levels can decline more rapidly among occasional users. Nine states, including some that have legalized marijuana for medicinal use, have zero-tolerance laws for driving and marijuana that make not only the presence of THC in a driver's blood illegal, but also the presence of its metabolites, which can linger for weeks after use.
That makes no sense, said Mark A. R. Kleiman, a New York University professor specializing in issues involving drugs and criminal policy. "A law against driving with THC in your bloodstream is not a law you can know you are obeying except by never smoking marijuana or never driving," he said.
He said rather than switching to a new kind of law as AAA recommends, states should consider simply making it a traffic violation.
Driving with 'noisy child' equally dangerous
Studies show that using marijuana and driving roughly doubles the risk of a crash, Kleiman said. By comparison, talking on a hands-free cellphone while driving — legal in all states — quadruples crash risk, he said. A blood alcohol content of .12, which is about the median amount in drunken driving cases, increases crash risk by about 15 times, he said.
Driving with "a noisy child in the back of the car" is about as dangerous as using marijuana and driving, Kleiman said.
The exception is when a driver has both been using marijuana and drinking alcohol because the two substances together greatly heighten impairment, he said.
The foundation also released a second study that found the share of drivers in fatal crashes who had recently used marijuana doubled in Washington after the state legalized it for recreational use in December 2012. From 2013 to 2014, the share of drivers who had recently used marijuana rose from 8 per cent to 17 per cent.
While it stopped short of blaming the crashes on that increase, AAA traffic safety director Jake Nelson said traffic fatalities went up 6 per cent in Washington during that same period while the fatalities nationally declined.

Probably tried to be more on the raw plant-based side for past year. Vegan with some pendulum swinging the last 2 years. Vegetarian the last 5 years.
I met Aya at a bike meetup and was introduced to this veg group a week ago.
Probably have to say the raw plant-based ones like Organic Lives or Gorilla Foods. I'm sure there are more veg restaurants and cafes on the rise.
Hi, I 'm Jenn and looking forward to dining and chatting with more vegans.
Great to be amongst vegans and great company - new and former veganites!

Saints DE Smith in uniform vs. Redskins
Associated Press | Last updated September 09, 2012
Saints defensive end Will Smith, reinstated Friday after his bounty suspension was lifted by an NFL appeals panel, is in uniform for New Orleans' opener against Washington. However, Saints starting cornerback Jabari Greer, who spent much of the preseason rehabbing a sports hernia, is out. Greer was among four players the Saints scratched on Sunday, along with three healthy players: running back Chris Ivory, and defensive tackles Tyrunn Walker and Akiem Hicks. The Saints entered with 50 players on the active roster after cutting receiver Adrian Arrington and fullback Korey Hall, and using roster exemptions on re-instated linebacker Jon Vilma and linebacker Barrett Ruud. The Redskins scratched seven players, including safety Brandon Meriweather (left knee), defensive tackle Chris Baker, and guards Josh LeRibeus and Adam Gettis.

I am a 27 year old female. My front teeth don't touch at all. I am afraid of surgery and have managed to eat fine but I want to know if an open bite will cause problems in the future and if there is a way of correcting it without surgery. I don't currently have dental insurance but I have had my teeth cleaned approximately every 6-9 months. I live in Arizona and would be happy to buy dental insurance if this problem could be fixed but have no clue about such things. Thank you in advance!

text: WASHINGTON, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Hines announced today the signing of a new lease with national non-profit organization American Hospital Association (AHA) in Two CityCenter at the landmark, mixed-use CityCenterDC development in Downtown Washington, D.C. CityCenterDC is one of the largest downtown developments currently underway in the United States. CityCenterDC is a development of Hines and The TFI US Real Estate Fund. The anchor investor in the Fund is Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company (Qatari Diar), the real estate investment arm of the Qatar Investment Authority. The Fund is advised by Tanween, a Qatari real estate development management and consulting firm. The AHA will occupy approximately 42,000 square feet when it moves into its new space in September 2014. The AHA was advised on the transaction by Studley, Inc. Founded more than a century ago, the AHA is a leading non-profit organization representing more than 5,000 hospitals, health care systems, networks, other providers of care and 42,000 individual members. The AHA provides education for health care leaders and is a source of information on health care issues and trends. With the execution of this new lease, the office buildings One and Two CityCenter are now just over 83% leased with additional pending commitments. CityCenterDC previously announced a 420,000-square-foot, 20-year lease with renowned law firm Covington & Burling LLP. "We determined early on that the newly constructed building infrastructure at CityCenterDC would be the best fit to meet the needs of our members and staff," said John Evans, AHA senior vice president and chief financial officer. "The new space will allow us to continue to provide our members with the highest quality of service and the new building will offer additional resources to work with our members and staff." "The success of our office leasing campaign validates our vision for CityCenterDC," said Howard J. Riker, managing director of Hines. "Our office tenants will benefit from and contribute to the creation of a vibrant blend of office, shopping, dining, residential and cultural spaces and experiences. As we continue the sales of our remarkable condominium residences, we are confident that home buyers will respond to our offering with the same enthusiasm and shared vision we have experienced in our office leasing campaign." About CityCenterDC CityCenterDC ( www.citycenterdc.com) is a unique, pedestrian-friendly, 10-acre mixed-use development, located in the heart of downtown Washington on a 4.5-block parcel bounded by New York Avenue, 9th, H and 11th Streets, NW. Foster + Partners of London and Washington D.C.'s Shalom Baranes Architects served as master-plan architects. Phases I and II of the project will contain more than 270,000 square feet of retail space situated at the base of seven buildings that encompass 520,000 square feet of office space, 458 rental apartment units, 216 condominium units, a 370-room luxury hotel, a public park, a central plaza and pedestrian-oriented streets and alleyways. Construction of Phase I of the project commenced in March 2011. As of year-end 2012, the structures associated with the two office buildings, two apartment buildings and two condominium buildings reached the "topping out" milestone. It is further anticipated that these buildings will be able to accept initial occupants during the fourth quarter 2013. A joint venture between Clark Construction Group, Smoot Construction of Washington, D.C., and McKissack and McKissack is the general contractor. Construction of Phase II of the project is expected to commence in the first half of 2014. It will consist of an approximately 370-room luxury hotel and 73,000 square feet of additional retail.

I know they were pretty down in the dump as recently as 2011 but made some changes an became bowl eligible this year. I'm interested in how they turned their program around and whether UAB could replicate
They should have hired Rush Propst
quote:Clark also took Jacksonville State to the FCS quarterfinals in his first year. He also had some really good defenses at South Alabama.
Probably would still be a hell of a recruiter in Alabama and the south if everyone forgave him. I saw the e60 story on him. He turned another failing HS program around in GA.

Amid fears that the Newtown shootings will do nothing to shake the US into tightening gun laws, there was a glimmer of hope last night that, finally, something might happen.
A senior Democrat, John Larson, who represents Connecticut, called for Congress to look at sweeping new gun control measures, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
This followed President Obama's call on Friday for "meaningful action" on gun violence, which was criticised as being too vague. Mr Larson, who is chair of the House of Representatives Democratic Caucus, said Congress must vote quickly on tighter gun controls, including the institution of background checks for all gun sales.
He added: "Politics be darned. Of the 12 deadliest shootings in our nation's history, half of them have happened in the last five years. And there is not a single person in America who doesn't fear it will happen again." He is backed by the Republican mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, New York Democrat Representative Carolyn McCarthy and California Representative George Miller.
An indication of the forces that stand between the US and more stringent gun control laws was evident in this year's Tennessee congressional race. Republican Debra Maggart had not faced a primary challenge for her seat in the state's House of Representatives since her election in 2004. But in August she lost to a rival GOP candidate who was backed by the National Rifle Association. In an ad campaign, the NRA called Ms Maggart an enemy of the constitution, because she opposed a law allowing employees to bring guns to the workplace. The NRA claims the measure – already in place in 17 other states – is necessary for commuters to protect themselves on their journey to work.
When politicians warn against politicising a mass shooting in the US, they are warning against discussion of reforming the gun laws. And the reason politicians are wary of gun law reform is fear of the NRA. The most powerful of the country's countless lobby groups is also its oldest continuously operating civil rights organisation. It was formed in 1871 by two Civil War veterans – one a journalist, the other a lawyer – who hoped to improve the nation's marksmanship. For well over half a century, it devoted itself to sporting pursuits.
The NRA's legislative affairs division was formed during the debate over the National Firearms Act of 1934, which it supported, as it did the Gun Control Act of 1968. Together, the two acts created a licensing and tax system for the private ownership of firearms. It was only in the 1970s that the NRA became the aggressively conservative, libertarian organisation it is today, proclaiming the civil right of citizens to bear arms, on the basis of the constitution's ambiguously worded second amendment. Today, it sponsors shooting competitions, publishes magazines such as American Rifleman, sponsors safety training programmes such as the two-day "NRA Basic Personal Protection Outside the Home" course, and actively involves itself in politics.
In 2010, the NRA had a budget of $307m. It boasts 4.3 million members, and a formidable record of mobilising them on issues at the fringes of its supposed remit. During the healthcare reform negotiations of 2010, for example, the group's lobbyists persuaded the Democrat Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, to include a provision in the bill preventing insurance companies from charging higher premiums to gun-owners. As long ago as 1994, Bill Clinton claimed in his memoir that the NRA was responsible for so many congressional election defeats that it could take credit for making his Republican nemesis, Newt Gingrich, the House Speaker.
The organisation has also successfully suppressed research into the relationship between guns and violence in the US. In 1993, the Center for Disease Control funded a study which found that having a gun in one's home increased the risk of homicide by a family member or intimate acquaintance, and very rarely acted as protection. In 1996, an NRA-backed Republican congressman, Jay Dickey of Arkansas, pushed through a cut of $2.6m to the CDC's budget – coincidentally, the exact amount the Center spent annually on firearms-related research.
More recently, the NRA championed the Stand Your Ground law, which meant that Florida police refrained from charging George Zimmerman immediately after he shot Trayvon Martin in that state in February. When the organisation was invited to discuss policy with gun control advocates and the Justice Department, following the shooting of congresswoman Gabby Giffords and 18 others in Tucson in 2011, its chief executive, Wayne LaPierre, refused, saying: "Why should I or the NRA go sit down with a group of people that have spent a lifetime trying to destroy the second amendment?"
The role of NRA president was famously filled by Charlton Heston between 1998 and 2003. The present incumbent is David Keene, who worked on US presidential campaigns for both Ronald Reagan and George H W Bush. Eight presidents have been association members, including Reagan, who, in 1980, was the first candidate to be officially endorsed by the NRA. Before the 2012 race was decided, Mr Keene called it "perhaps the most crucial election, from a second amendment standpoint, in our lifetimes". In 2008, the organisation spent $100m in an attempt to defeat Barack Obama at the ballot box, claiming his victory would lead to a gun ban. This year, the Republican candidate Mitt Romney wooed NRA members at their annual convention in St Louis, saying: "We need a president who will stand up for the rights of hunters, sportsmen, and those seeking to protect their homes and their families. President Obama has not. I will."
A Reuters/Ipsos poll in April, prior to that convention, found that 68 per cent of Americans had a favourable view of the NRA, including 55 per cent of Democrats. That was eight months ago, since when there have been mass shootings in Seattle, in Aurora, Colorado, in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in Minneapolis, in Portland, Oregon, and now in Newtown, Connecticut.

finding my own.
I was still feeling a bit shook up, as I left the police house. I cant believe I was that stupid. What did I honestly think I was doing, coming here to this crazy place and on my own too. Thinking I was a woman of the world, well travelled but not.
Rule number one, in the backpackers travelling guide- always be wary of strangers.
It could have been so much more than my wallet that he stole from me. It was only one drink, and I saw the shifty little guy, behind the bar open the bottle of cola. So how or when could he have slipped the drug in without me seeing it? I thought.
It doesn't bare thinking about, drugged and robbed could have been drugged and rapped.
Not that it did any good reporting it either. ' Go home' the officer had told me, looking me over and making my skin crawl. They probably heard this all year from lone women travellers, in on the act, along with the bar guy who disappeared suddenly.
But I couldn't go home, not yet and not now. I'd never go anywhere again if I ran home now. Thankfully I still had my passport and some money, thanks to that secret pocket that my dad gave me as a going away present. Even though at the time I had laughed at the thought of using it. How little did I know then, how stupid, I added talking to myself.
I racked my brains for any clues that I may have missed. He was a westerner, clean shaven, mixed European accent, tall quite good looking in a cheeky kinda way. Just another traveller, sharing stories from his trips. Or so I thought.
One drink, he said. As I sat and waited for a group I had met, who were catching the night train to Manaus in the Amazon jungle. And I was going with them on the overnight sleeper. Away from all the craziness of Rio.
It hit me quick though. Flooding through my viens, my eyelids felt heavy as I glanced around. The bar was empty except for us. How did I not notice before. I tried to stand up, looking for the weird bar guy, as my new acquaintance grabbed my arm pulling me back down into my chair. The bar guy no where to be seen, and that's when the lights went out.
