As already mentioned, you can go either the AMD or Intel routes with Lenovo's ThinkPad X121e. For AMD you get the choice between a dual-core Fusion 1GHz C-50 or 1.6GHz E-350 CPU. Both will give you netbook-like performance, meaning they're adequate if you don't plan on doing heavy multi-tasking or running intensive applications. They'll manage general productivity and HD video just fine though. For an indication of the kind of performance you can expect, have a read of our Toshiba NB550D review, which at under £300 also makes for an interesting alternative if you don't mind the smaller, lower-rez screen.
Back to our Intel version, the only choice is a Core i3-2357M running at a fixed 1.3GHz, which lacks the Turbo Clocking or HyperThreading of its Core i5 and i7 brethren. While this will be adequate for many users, those who regularly run demanding software or like to keep several apps open at once might find performance rather sluggish. The lower CPU performance also tells in games, with Intel's integrated graphics only managing 27fps in our standard TrackMania Nations Forever test at 720p and Medium detail.
At least you don't have to worry about memory as the X121e comes with the standard complement of 4GB and can be upgraded to a whopping 8 GB when buying direct from Lenovo. The 320GB hard drive isn't the most capacious available but it's of the fast 7,200rpm variety rather than the more common 5,400rpm drives you'll find in most budget laptops. It's also a standard drive so can be swapped out with either a larger drive or an SSD, and again Lenovo do offer the option - if you have £240 to spare for a 128GB SSD, which you could buy for £140 yourself.
It's also worth mentioning that the included software is Windows Professional rather than the usual Home Premium, yet another value-add to what is already an excellent machine for the money.
Last but not least there's battery life to consider, and here the X121e passes without mishap, as its 5,160mAh battery lasted over five and a half hours. And remember that the battery here is easily interchangeable, so you can bring a spare to effectively double your time away from a socket.
Frankly, for everything Lenovo manages to pack into its 11.6in ThinkPad, the starting price of £330 is ridiculously cheap, and the £510 for our sample config is still truly excellent value considering that upgrades you not only to Core i3 but also 3G. Admittedly that's just £50 short of getting a Core i3 version of a sleek and sexy 13in number like the Toshiba Satellite R830, but the X121e offers a far nicer typing experience, more rugged chassis, better screen and 3G. There's far less choice in the affordable 11.6in segment than 13.3in, and as such this Lenovo is one of the better bargains going.
The 11.6in X121e preserves the ThinkPad brand's reputation for rock-solid build quality and excellent ergonomics, and throws in a decent screen, well-placed connectivity and good battery life to boot. Frankly, it's difficult to see how Lenovo achieved all this in a machine starting at £330, though we'd probably go for the 3G-sporting Core i3 version at just £510. Regardless, whether you're looking for a large netbook or a versatile budget ultraportable, the X121e should be near the top of your list.
Is the quoted battery life with a 6-cell or a 3-cell battery? Also, how loud does the laptop get under load?
Agree - excellent laptop. Been running premium thinkpads at work for years and this gives hardly anything to them .. same build, it just works.
I spent my own money on this one. Got mine for about £350 - lots of deals on the Lenovo website if you watch out. Oh, and there is an SSD option on there.
I would disagree with the screen rating though - it's pretty pants on mine like most thinkpads (though my previous laptop was a TZ before some bugger nicked it.. so not really a fair comparison).
That's for the 6-cell, as you can tell from the 5,160mAh rating. As to noise, it stays fairly quiet, which is not too surprising considering it's a low-power chip in a chunky chassis.
Indeed, though as mentioned in the review some ThinkPads (like the X1) were disappointing at best.
Thanks for pointing out the SSD option (when we checked out X121e options prior to the review this wasn't available yet), amended review to match.
As to the screen, as mentioned it's fairly decent, except for its viewing angles. Compared to similarly priced rivals it certainly holds its own, as cheap laptop/netbook displays tend to be rather poor, making an average effort good.
I got this laptop for my wife to replace her ageing and incredibly slow EeeePC 1000H. The difference between the two of them is light and day as you would expect going from an Atom with 1Gb RAM to an I3 with 4Gb RAM. However that is only the beginning. The extra screen size and resolution make a huge difference to the user experience (and the extra speed, did I mention the speed?). The other really good thing about it is the HDMI connection. The ability to plug a single plug into the TV (as opposed to fiddling with seperate sound and video cords) is excellent for watching videos off the laptop or just using the TV as a huge screen for viewing images etc. Plug a large USB drive into the laptop and it becomes a tiny media player.
@Godji - The laptopis barely audible under load.
Keep an eye out for deals on Lenovo, I got it for under AUS$600 when it first came out - which was the same price I payed for the EeeePC I bought 3 years ago which it was replacing.
After reading this and doing some more poking about i have ordered one of these to replace my Acer Aspire One. I am very much looking forward to the speed increase and being able to watch full screen iplayer/youtube as well as some very light gaming.
Nice review! Tempted to order one of these for Christmas to replace my trusty NC10 (which I still love, but the screen res gets a little irritating when working on long docs). Maybe some of the commenters who have bought one to replace netbooks will be able to help me here - how great is the performance upgrade from an Atom to this i3 (or the AMD equivalent)?
nice review on an excellent product. most interested in the i3 ver, it's just like a polo gti comparing to other netbooks as kia rio on market from the performance perspective
Mobile broadband 3G should be a NO, in the UK at least. Even the Lenovo tech support team don't seem to know this, but WWAN on the spec sheet means there's a slot for a sim card but nothing behind it. I was told to return my laptop and buy a new one, so to save being without a computer I duly bought a new one then they refused the refund as the order details clearly stated that you needede to upgrade to get mobile broadband :). To enable mobile broadband you need to buy a £95 additional card. I would consider a different brand or buy Lenovo products from ebay or another supplier who knows how their products work. You're more likely to get what you want.

A group of 30 Democratic senators led by former Vietnam War veteran, Senator Jim Webb of Virginia, urged President Bush to tone down his threats about war with Iran. The senators reminded the president that Congress had not authorized any military action against Iran and economic sanctions imposed by the Republican administration and "provocative" statements by Bush and other administration officials were "counterproductive and undermine efforts to resolve tensions with Iran through diplomacy." They pledged cooperation in working with the Bush administration to safeguard the United States and promote regional peace and security in the Middle East without need of war. Two presidential candidates, Senator Hillary Clinton and Senator Chris Dodd, were among those signing the letter.
This is a much needed action on the part of Congress to reduce tensions in the Middle East. The United Nations is attempting to work through diplomatic channels in order to resolve issues dealing with nuclear development on the part of Iran. The UN deserves an opportunity to attain peaceful resolution of the problem. One can only assume that President Bush has forgotten the last time he refused allowing the UN to solve the problem of Saddam Hussein's famous WMD. The world and 3,800 dead American soldiers know the result of his refusal to work cooperatively in peaceful negotiation. George Bush so enjoys playing to the grandstand of emotions that he fails to act in his role as president of this nation whose sworn duty is maintaining peace and security of the people.

Falla led USF's 10-hit attack with a 2-for-4 performance while Norton's first-career homer was a two-run shot in the Bulls' big inning before a crowd of 1,038 at USF baseball stadium. Starter Joey Lovecchio got a no decision after allowing one earned run on eight hits in six innings. The right-hander struck out five to cap off a series of quality innings from USF starters. Jimmy Herget gave up an earned run in seven innings of the Bulls' 3-2 win in Friday's opener. Nick Gonzalez also gave up just one earned run in six innings of USF's 5-2 loss on Saturday night. USF (7-8) faced a 3-2 deficit heading into the bottom half of the seventh before putting together a two-out rally. Falla sparked the comeback with a two-run homer and Anthony Diaz kept things going with a single to left field. Norton followed with the biggest swing of his college career and Lueck produced a solo homer while pinch hitting. Steven Leasure, Nolan Thomas and Chad Taylor kept Valparaiso off the scoreboard in the final two innings to help USF win its season home series of the season.

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the WindowsSearch.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
Click to Run a Free Scan for WindowsSearch.exe related errors
The process known as Windows Search System Tray or Windows Desktop Search System Tray or Windows Desktop Search Tool Tray Admin belongs to software Microsoft Windows Operating System or My Book Device Driver by Microsoft (www.microsoft.com).
Description: WindowsSearch.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. WindowsSearch.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files".
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 123,904 bytes (76% of all occurrences), 118,784 bytes and 4 more variants.
There is an icon for this program on the taskbar next to the clock. The program has a visible window. WindowsSearch.exe is not a Windows core file. It is a trustworthy file from Microsoft. WindowsSearch.exe is able to monitor applications. Therefore the technical security rating is 2% dangerous; however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify WindowsSearch.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as WindowsSearch.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the WindowsSearch.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of WindowsSearch.exe: based on 11 votes with 3 user comments. 3 users think WindowsSearch.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 4 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 2 users suspect danger. 2 users think WindowsSearch.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 2 users don't grade WindowsSearch.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with WindowsSearch. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the WindowsSearch.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan.

How to Shop for Free Online

Web applications increasingly integrate third-party services. The integration introduces new security challenges due to the complexity for an application to coordinate its internal states with those of the component services and the web client across the Internet. In this paper, we study the security implications of this problem to merchant websites that accept payments through third-party cashiers (e.g., PayPal, Amazon Payments and Google Checkout), which we refer to as Cashier-as-a-Service or CaaS. We found that leading merchant applications (e.g., NopCommerce and Interspire), popular online stores (e.g., Buy.com and JR.com) and a prestigious CaaS provider (Amazon Payments) all contain serious logic flaws that can be exploited to cause inconsistencies between the states of the CaaS and the merchant. [Source]
Interesting, captain. What exactly does this mean? How are these flaws in programming logic exploited by evil shoppers? Most importantly, how can I shop for free?!??
In all seriousness, with the online world becoming increasingly complex with its distributed services communicating over various protocols, information that materializes on end points as plain text, and non-uniform payment service policies—with the cherry on top being non-uniform identity of communicating parties—well, business can get messy. MSR researchers Shuo Chen and Shaz Qadeer, as well as PhD student and key author of this really interesting research paper, Rui Wang, join me for a conversation about the implications of this research(another author of the paper is XiaoFeng Wang of Indiana University Bloomington). Most importantly, however, I try to get them to give me the details about how I can fool online merchants into shipping me goods for free (just kidding!) and what they think is needed to fix this problem in a mathematically precise fashion (static/dynamic analysis, security-based policy languages for CaaS, etc.).

Thank you for sending in your photography!
The Agricenter Sunflowers typically bloom in August. One field is on Germantown Parkway near the observation deck (parking is at Walnut Bend). The other is along Walnut Grove Road (parking is along Smythe Farm Rd near Catch'em Lakes). We have always encouraged people to enjoy the sunflowers on the campus. We ask that you please do not pick them so others can enjoy them also - they are our gift to the community. Please remember the rest of the crops on the land are in research or production and thus cannot be picked either.
Photographers: This fall, the cotton growing on our farm will not be available for sitting in or walking through so please plan accordingly.

Climate change may transform the community of microbes that forms the crucial top layer of soil, known as a biocrust, in deserts throughout the United States, new research suggests.
The study, published today (June 27) in the journal Science, found that one type of bacteria dominates in warm climates, whereas another is more prevalent in cooler areas. Combined with climate models, the findings suggest that the cold-loving bacteria could completely disappear from their current habitats as the climate warms.

Taught by D. Jeffrey Lenn, professor of strategic management and public policy, Business and Society was designed to give MBA students a more comprehensive perspective on business by placing it in a societal context.
The course provided an introduction to the public policy process from the perspective of governmental agencies, corporations, trade associations. and nonprofit organizations, and emphasized the development and implementation of corporate strategies for successful participation in that process.
Capitalizing on GWSB's prime location in Washington, D.C., the course featured speakers, interactive videos, and off-site visits designed to bring students into closer contact with major national and international organizations headquartered here.

Capital base of Chinese banks not as strong as bosses claim
Lenders' capital-to-asset ratios do not adequately reflect exposure to off-balance sheet loans made through shadow banking channels
Judge by the headlines and it looks as if China's banks are in rude financial health.
In recent days, the country's big state-owned banks have announced half-year profits up 12 per cent or more on the same period in 2012.
What's more, a bigger proportion of those earnings came from fees, rather than interest income.
Even more reassuring, bad loan ratios remain low at around 1 per cent or less, with generous provisions covering non-performing assets between two and three times over.
And on top of that, China's banks are handsomely capitalised, typically boasting capital to risk-weighted asset ratios of 13 per cent or more, and top quality core capital ratios in excess of 10 per cent.
So, at first glance, it may be surprising that yesterday Agricultural Bank of China told analysts it would issue preferred shares over the coming months, as well as sell subordinated debt, in order to pad out its capital base.
On closer examination, however, the drive by Agricultural Bank, as well as other smaller banks, to raise fresh capital doesn't look quite so strange.
China's economy is undergoing a slowdown, with growth easing from double digits to rates of 7 to 8 per cent.
After the growth splurge of recent years, the deceleration is badly needed. Even so, the experience will be painful.
Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's points out that the slowdown is coming hard on the heels of a period in which the debt of China's biggest corporations ballooned two and a half times in six years.
Now, with margins under pressure and cash flows weakening, many Chinese companies, especially those in sectors suffering overcapacity - like building materials, coal and metals - will struggle to service their debts. Weaker companies are likely to default, warns S&P managing director Christopher Lee.
Inevitably, that will mean an increase in non-performing loans. So far, the projections look relatively modest. S&P is forecasting a rise in bad loan ratios to between 2 per cent and 3 per cent by the end of this year.
On the surface, it looks as if China's banks should be able to absorb the increase, given their conservative forward provisioning and comfortable capital cushions.
Unfortunately, however, there are some good reasons to worry that the outlook may be considerably bleaker than the official figures imply.
For one thing, many observers believe China's banks have disguised their real levels of bad assets by rolling over loans to zombie borrowers who cannot afford to repay their debts.
Count those loans as non-performing, and it is likely the true ratio of bad loans could rise towards 10 per cent over the next couple of years.
Then there are doubts about whether Chinese bank capital ratios are really as high as the bankers claim.
Over recent years, China's banks have bulked up their capital bases by issuing hundreds of billions of yuan of subordinated debt.
The trouble is that roughly half of that subordinated debt is held by other banks. Under a strict interpretation of the international rules, that means it should be disregarded when calculating capital adequacy ratios.
Exclude this cross-held subordinated debt, and, according to a study by Xu Lei and Ron McIver at the University of South Australia, overall capital adequacy ratios at Chinese banks fall by the best part of a percentage point.
On top of that, there are concerns whether the asset side of banks' capital-to-asset ratios adequately reflect banks' exposure to off-balance sheet loans made through China's shadow financial market.
Although the banks are not legally responsible for these loans, many of which have been repackaged and sold to savers as wealth management products, it is likely they will be forced to cover savers' losses should the borrowers run into trouble.
Factoring in this exposure, S&P's analysts estimate that the true core capital to risk-weighted assets ratio for China's top 50 banks is not the 10.5 per cent official figures imply, but more like 5.5 per cent.
For the weakest commercial banks, they believe this ratio could easily drop below 4 per cent by the end of next year.
Seen in that light, it is hardly surprising that Chinese banks are now scrambling to raise fresh capital, even as they are busy announcing robust half-year profit figures.

In this segment she talks about surviving holiday parties without weight gain.Simply healthyfrom your Hannaford DietitianSurviving Holiday Parties without the Weight GainThe holidays are a time for family, friends, fun, festivities, and of course, FOOD! With the many temptations of cookies, pies, and indulgent rich foods this season, try these tips to help manage your weight at your next holiday gathering:1. Eat a snack before the party to curb your appetite and insure you won't show up hungry.An apple, a Dannon® yogurt cup, or a small salad is a great light choice.2. Bring a low-fat holiday dish to the party. You will be happy knowing there is at least one dishyou can enjoy without breaking your diet.3. Head to the fruit, vegetables, lean meat, and whole-grain crackers. Use small plates to help controlportions sizes.4. Mingle more than you munch. Focus on family and friends, not food.5. Stand away from the food table. Hovering near the food often leads to more eating.6. Keep in mind that calories from drinks add up too. Try lighter versions of seasonal favorites, such aseggnog. Even hot beverages, such as flavored coffee or tea or spiced cider, can add a festive touch tothe event.7. Keep your hands occupied with a low-calorie drink in one and a plate of low-fat goodies in theother to keep you from snitching from the food table.8. Chew gum after you finish eating. With fresh minty breath, you may be less likely to go back forseconds or thirds.9. Delay dessert. If you wait 20 to 30 minutes after eating healthy foods, your craving for sweetsmay be less than when you first arrived.10. If you are throwing the gathering, pick a time of day that does not revolve around a meal.11. Go ahead and say yes. If you can't stop thinking about Cathy's famous pecan pie, then enjoy a smallslice after a well-balanced meal and refrain from seconds. One slice will not destroy your diet, but eating half the pie will ultimately lead to feelings of guilt and frustration, not to mention weight gain.Cheddar Holiday Tree Recipe courtesy of the farm families who own Cabot Creamery Ingredients: 5 (8-ounce) bars Cabot® Cheddar, plain & flavored Grape cherry tomatoes 1 mushroom Fresh thyme sprigs Directions: 1.

I carry a .45 year round - but I'm contemplating 10mm.
Printable View
I carry a .45 year round - but I'm contemplating 10mm.
Kimber Ultra Carry II every day.
My current carry rotation for awhile now and so far as I can see for the near future too at least:
Kahr PM40 carried in a High Noon Split Decision IWB holster
Walther P99c QA in .40 also carried in a Split Decision
preferred SD loads Hornady CD or Remington Golden Saber
Charter Arms Off Duty .38spl, carried in a DeSantis IWB holster
Colt Agent .38spl, carried in a Bianchi IWB holster
preferred SD loads for each revolver, either Federal Nyclad 125-grain HP or Buffalo Bore's standard pressure 158gr LSWHP
H&K 45c.
Top left: DeSantis Nemesis. Good for front-pocket (or coat pocket) carry, although it tends to print a little.
Top right: N82 Tactical. Pretty comfortable, once you get the damn thing on your belt. The suede backing makes it exceptionally difficult to get into place, and the elastic retention system doesn't inspire confidence. It's also nearly impossible to re-holster without removing the entire thing. If I had it to do over, I'd pass on this one.
Bottom left (with Kahr in place): Uncle George's wallet holster. My favorite so far, and the one I think I'll carry most often. The draw is a little awkward, but the holster is very stealthy and comfortable.
Bottom right: Remora (with blue gun). Seems like it would be good for IWB or appendix carry, but it's basically Mexican carry in a holster, and isn't all that comfortable. I'm lukewarm on the Remora at this point. Maybe it'll grow on me.
Somewhat depends on what that 'little bird on my shoulder' tells me. But 'round 'bout the town:
S&W 629, FNP-45, Glock in 9, .357, or .40, Astra A-80, AMT Backup .45, Charter Arms .357, Kel-Tec PF-9, or about any combination of the 2. Just depends.
FWIW, I carry any and all of them year 'round. Don't see any reason to 'go light' in warmer weather. Just adapt my clothing and / or MOC to accommodate. JMO, but carrying a smaller / less powerful / less capacity weapon in the summer because it may better suit one's clothing seems, to me, to be rather foolhardy.
IMO, it's like saying "I'm less likely to get in to a gunfight in warm weather", or "I'm gonna get in to a gunfight in the summer, but it won't be as bad so I only need a smaller / less powerful / less capacity gun for that gunfight". ???? If I KNEW I was gonna get in to a gun fight with some scumbag I'd A) not be THERE and be somewhere ELSE or B) Bring a friggin' BAZOOKA!
Just my thoughts. Stay safe
Well I used to carry a big bulky heavy pain in the hip Hi-point .380 but I recently bought a S&W Bodyguard .380 & so far I like it. Its fits perfectly in my big hands, its lightweight & comfortable to carry. Not bad price either @ $350
Please no bad mouthing the Hi-points. They're cheap but they do shoot good & mine never jammed like I've heard others say. I have seen the 9m's jam a few time though.
The Sig P938 SAS came in today. I either carry the Kimber Solo CDP or P938 SAS now:
Smith 642 or Colt Mustang (stainless) dependent on mode of dress. In Florida in the spring, summer, fall months, mostly wear shorts and golf (or (Hawaiian) style shirts, with a pattern on them. Most of the time with the 642. Winter dress we simply wear long pants. If its light material dress pants, I can pocket carry the Mustang, or leg holster it. The 642 is usually carried IWB.
I have a few extra pounds, and the weapons conceal nicely.
New 'round here and love pic threads so here's my contribution.
S&W M&P "custom".
Slide Serrations done by Customized Creationz in MI. Stippling and trigger guard undercut by me.
Hoping to get some trigger work done this coming year.
Raven Concealment holster, Gold Dot 127gr +P JHP. (thinking about moving to Hornaday Critical Defense for winter)
Small Mouth fishing down the river and thought this would make a cool pic.
Updated my carry.
Sold the Kahr PM40, great gun to me-none of the Kahr issues that some have had.(If your having Kahr issues check out the Kahr Talk forum). I wanted to try something new so I went with a Sig P290RS Two-Tone, great little 9mm. Currently carrying it in a tuckable N82 IWB, they don't make a Pro model holster for the P290 so i've ordered a Tucker Texas Heritage tuckable IWB, and a Holsterpro Model 21 OWB holster(similure concept to the Bruce Nelson "Professional").
I live in Florida, so i needed something small, light and something that I can carry in shorts... I decided on Rugers LC9... Downside is it only holds 7+1, still a great gun to carry concealed.
Kahr CM9 with Dawson Precision fiber optic front in a remora.
XD-s...I'm a big fan of the size and the punch. I keep it on the ankle.

As a trained psychotherapist and counselor, my aim is to help my clients challenge and rewrite the negative automatic thoughts and negative core beliefs that they hold of themselves. Beliefs such as "I am not worthwhile" or "I am stupid" or "I am too much or not enough" were often learned in childhood. Many clients find relief from cognitive behavioral therapy which helps them examine and change negative behaviors, thoughts and emotions which lead to anxiety and depression and a host of other mental health problems. Clients also benefit from EMDR, an evidence based psychotherapy which has proven to be effective in helping those struggling with distressing negative memories and PTSD.

Good Day, fellow Enthusiasts.
I am Nick Workman, I live in Swansea, South Wales, originally from a small village just south of bristol, a carrot cruncher or farmer you might say.
I don't have a BMW (yet).
I have had various BMW's over previous years, last 2 were 328CI SE E46 Silver and 318i E46 saloon in black. A long time ago i had a D Reg E30 with a 400bhp Cosworth engine, and sold it to a guy in Bournemouth and he put an M3 body kit on it and painted it orange anyone seen it, or remember it?
Anyway reason for my being here is, I am looking for a E36 Convertible, as late a year as possible, T, V or W reg if poss, but I have been struggling to find anything that catches my eye.
I would like a different colour to the norm, ie. burnt orange or similar but its looking unlikely. I have up to around £4000 to spend.
I have a dilemma of, shall I buy one with the m-tech kit on already or buy a standard one and fit it all myself, question being, will it be cost efficient to buy all the bits and have them resprayed, or cheaper to buy one with the bits on already from factory, as I will have to pay out more initially for the kitted up car.
Best Wishes and speak soon,

Want to purchase one of these
Where is an E39 540 sport in great shape for sale?
Also, which one to choose, either 5 or 7 or M series to buy? Which requires less maintenance?
Need one of these for my wife.
If you are looking for a low maintainence vehicle, I would suggest you look elsewhere. E39's are great cars but they do require more maint than many other cars.

IT Professionals' Experience of Ethics and its Implications for IT Education
Stoodley, Ian D. (2007) IT Professionals' Experience of Ethics and its Implications for IT Education. In ACIS 2007, 5-7 December 2007, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Qld. (Unpublished)
This is the latest version of this eprint.
This research is aimed at developing a framework for preparing and supporting IT professionals as they practice ethics in a complex environment. It complements other research, by focussing on professionals' own experience and by exploring this experience in depth. Variation Theory and Phenomenography form the basis for this project – eliciting and representing the relationship between IT professionals and the object of their experience, ethics. Participants were invited to participate, based on a 'Model of Evolving IT' which maps the IT space along an information-technology continuum and an artefact developer-artefact user continuum. Preliminary analysis has revealed two groups of experiences of ethics, one group defined by the proximity of the beneficiaries and the other group defined by the degree of personal ownership of responsibility. It is anticipated that the result will be a proposal for IT professional ethics formation and support, relevant to professional development and tertiary education.

Fact, kids: There's not just one Easter Bunny. As this half-live-action, half-animated feature informs us, there's actually a long line of colored-egg--delivering wabbits stwetching back genewations. They all speak with British accents and live with an army of yellow worker chicks on Easter Island, which must confuse the hell out of any descendants of the Rapa Nui. The most recent Bunny is grooming his son, E.B. (voice of Brand), to take over. But all this hepcat cottontail wants to do is play the drums professionally.
So it's off to Hollywood---the land of dreams and David Hasselhoff (cameoing as a stone gargoyle-like version of himself)---where E.B. teams up with thirtyish slacker Fred O'Hare (Marsden), who'd love nothing more than to be the first human Easter Bunny. Comic shenanigans ensue, the funniest of which is how easily the anthropomorphized E.B. moves around the West Coast metropolis. Barely anyone bats an eye (a Walk of Fame waitress shrugs with can't-faze-me assurance), and El Hasselhoff sells the suspension of disbelief by noting, "My best friend is a talking car."
That jest should clue you in to the kinds of nostalgic references in which Hop trades, along with a few eye-rolling citations of modern-day touchstones like Guitar Hero and Chelsea Handler. (Props, though, to the WTF musical interlude featuring the Blind Boys of Alabama.) The various plot threads---E.B. is pursued by a trio of ass-kickingly cute long-eared operatives; a disgruntled worker chick (voiced in emphatic Telemundo tones by Hank Azaria) orchestrates a coup d'tat---mostly get lost amid all the allusions. Even Hugh Hefner pops up because, you know, Playboy Bunnies. Why do I have a sudden craving for rabbit loin?

It's hard to tell what is the best solution, but the Autometer looks good in the pictures. Anyone help? What's a good online place to find this stuff?

We (android users) also want GreenPaw!
I also bought the app and love it so far. I agree with am_themes though and would very much like to see the push notifications in the future releases .
I love the app, but the problem is I had it for a week now and the marketplace statistics graph won't load still. It says it needs at least 48 hours etc. – kinnda disappointing
Just purchased the app! Very disappointed! It just crashes on startup… The first time I started it said loading statements for a while and after that it crashed never to start again
SmoothThemes saidI have the exact same issue! Wish I had read your comment before purchase. I have the New iPad 2 as well
Just bought this app, enter username and API key, then the app auto close( I'm using iPad 4 ). Trying to open this app again, it loaded for 2 second with green background and auto close. Does anyone have same issue ?

Hi, sorry that you are both having issues, it's very hard to diagnose these things. There are a couple of issues that some people are experiencing, but I just can't get the app to crash on my end, so I still can't find out what is going on
The best thing I would recommend is deleting the app and reinstalling it. Delete it first, that's very important. Also, make sure that your internet connection is okay when you launch the app for the first time. It shouldn't be an issue, but just in case.
Deleting and reinstalling – No that did not help either!

nickys saidAlso I would love to test it, I've got an iOS device. Too bad if it won't have push notifications, I am wondering why does it costs? When I wrote my Windows Phone application I mimic the Push Notifications by creating a background agent that checked the current balanced (saved when the app was first opened) vs. the one from the API request, if there was difference between them, I've sent the notification. Not sure about iOS tho, but I am more than sure that you can run background agents while the app is closed. The app seems to be fine, please consider push notifications, I was about to make my own iOS app for Envato, but since you do a great job I'll wait to see what you will bring, my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com – thank you.
P.S. I will appreciate it if this topic gets moved to the All Marketplaces section, I didn't realize that I posted it on CodeCanyon only
It's not the same on iOS, you can't have any background agents running. The way push notifications work is you setup your own server, get a certificate from Apple, do your thing on your server (check for updates, new sales, etc etc) and when you want to send a notification, you send it to Apple's servers instead, and they send it to the actual device. And you will cry when you see your bandwidth billEdit: don't get me wrong, I would love to have that feature, it just costs too much at this point
That's why I love android , and I will definitely want an android version of your app
Too bad, I recently switched to Android, can't get that app anymore… Maybe later.. when I get myself an iPhone 10
You REALLY need to implement an item review status bar as well mate. This is one of the huge things missing from this app. And as earlier stated, the notification of course.

The Headless Body title itself was borrowed from one of The Post's most famous actual headlines. The show debuted last year and will now take place every Monday night at 8pm.

Same Day Despatch
If ordered before 2pm
Standard postage rate £2.75
This CD features 25 wonderful songs from Fred Astaire's greatest movies. Astaire was not merely the greatest dancer the screen has ever seen, he also introduced more great classic songs than any other performer.
"I'm a 36 year old music fan in New York and in the past few weeks have ordered and promptly received Fascinating Rhythm, Fred Astaire, Duke Ellington, Gershwin's Symphonic work and Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grapelli from you. What fantastic CDs! Your song selections and liner notes are superb and the quality and pristine sound of the music is quite amazing. Thanks for doing what you do. I plan to tell friends about your products and order more for myself." Mitch, USA
Fred Astaire's film musicals are amongst the finest of them all and these songs are amongst the best ever written. Nobody has yet sung them with the same style of elegance of Fred Astaire.
"For composers and lyricists from Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart to Barry Manilow, the name of Fred Astaire is an apt metaphor for all that is graceful and stylish in the world of Broadway, the West End and Hollywood. Fred was not merely the greatest dancer the screen has ever seen, he also introduced more great classic songs than any other performer.
Fred was born Frederick Austerlitz in Omaha, Nebraska on 10th May 1899. His sister Adele was the older of the two (born 18th September 1896). Both displayed a notable talent for performing, and in 1906, after training in New York, they made their debut in Keyport. The Astaires scored great personal success in 'The Passing Show of 1918'.
The Astaires came to London to repeat their Broadway success in 'For Goodness Sake' renamed 'Stop Flirting' for British audiences. A year later, their first Gershwin musical 'Lady Be Good' enjoyed huge success as did the follow up 'Funny Face'. Both were recorded in London with the participation of the composer George Gershwin himself. The last show in which the Astaires appeared together was a lavish and successful revue, 'The Band Wagon'. Adele Astaire then retired from the stage, and married the second son of the Duke of Devonshire.
The thunder and lightningSeem to be having their wayBut as far as I'm concernedIt's a lovely day.The turn in the weatherWill keep us togetherSo I can honestly sayThat as far as I'm concernedIt's a lovely day and everythings ok.
(chorus)Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain?You were going on your wayNow you've got to remain.Just as you were goingLeaving me all at seaThe clouds broke, they brokeAnd oh what a break for me.I can see the sun up highThough we're caught in a storm.I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm.Let the rain pitter patterBut it really doesn't matterIf the skies are grey.Long as I can be with youIt's a lovely day.
"I can only marvel at the quality of the recordings, quality on a par with much later recordings of other companies - superb is the only adjective I can apply to your product. Thank you again for a great product and the service you supply, long may you reign!" Mr R, West Yorkshire "To be honest, I was amazed at the clarity and sound of the CD - I just had to stop what I was doing and sit and listen as I felt that I was back with my parents listening to the wireless …" Mr L, London
