EzioAs - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkUnless they charge it $200+ less, I don't see much value in this ultrabook. The specs aren't bad, but price is a total deal breaker. Reply
darckhart - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkwhile i agree the specs aren't great, one key thing about the carbon x1 is that it offers all this at 3.4 lbs. i haven't found any others with comparable specs at this weight. dell's xps 14 is nearly 1.25 lbs more. so there's going to be some tradeoffs. Reply
Nightdrake - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThe carbon x1 may not be heavy, but it still is a big 14" device. Most people needing light weight for traveling also need small size. Reply
lxgoldsmith - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkactually, it's the 13.3 inch size with less bezel and more screen Reply
Mohjo - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkActually, this device does not compute, mainly due to its price. Its instructive to compare it against its most likely competitor in this field at that price which is not the Macbook Air, but the 13.3" retina pro:

While it comes down to personal preference between OS X and Windows 8, the jury is still out on whether a vertical touchscreen on a laptop is the way to go.
I think its way overpriced considering that in most specs, the Mac beats it (flogs it in display) and costs less. And I still don't get why PC makers have separate USB2 and 3 rails, surely if Apple can afford 2 USB3 ports, then so can Lenovo.
It maybe just me, but while I like the design, I agree the OP, this should be at least $200 less. Reply

w_km - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkYes indeed., the MBP destroys lenovo in this example, though I'd take off $200 from lenovo's MSRP as I've never payed full price for a ThinkPad. Also, when mentioning the touch verison, you should write "X1 Carbon Touch". There is a significant difference in the touch vs nontouch usability and vs. the MBP. Nonetheless, Apple's offerings will dominate that thin and light market so long as lenovo fails to use high-quality carbon fiber in their chassis. We're already seeing high quality-"feeling" phones such as the HTC One gain mass consideration simply due to build quality, laptops are next. Reply
FATCamaro - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThis. And Lenovo's upgrades are more expensive than Apple's. Of course, Windows8 on the MBPr isn't quite as good as it is in on native PC laptops but still. Reply
mschira - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkYes the comparison to the MacBook retina is devastating.
Unless one considers that the 13" retina is a bit of a flawed piece by itself, annoyingly obviously lacking the power to support its awesome display.

KoolAidMan1 - Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - linkThe Ivy Bridge IGP can totally support that 13" rMBP display on the desktop. Haswell will be even better given that its IGP performance is around double that of Ivy Bridge's Reply
Shinobi_III - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - link1600*900 is a joke, Lenovo went out when I bought my Zenbook last year just because of that.
Think the 13 inch one I looked at then, had a laughable 1024x768 res.. My two year old phone has 960x540 for crying out loud.
The Asus Zenbooks are a lot more bang for the buck here. Reply
peterfares - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThe QS77 chipset natively has 4 USB 3.0 ports and 10 USB 2.0 ports. It really makes no sense as to why they wire up USB 2.0 ports when they haven't even used up all 4 USB 3.0 ports offered by the chipset. Reply
jonup - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linknot to mention the vizio thin and light that retails as low as $600. Based on the Anandtech review of the 15" model, the screen is superior, you get 2 USB3.0, aluminum body with rubberized bottom. I got the 15" for office (audit) use and I can't be happier. Having two spreadsheets side-by-side on a less than 4lb package, priceless! Reply
boe - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkMy 3 year old Sony Z has an i7, weighs 3lbs and has a higher resolution screen and a much larger SSD drive. Reply
OCedHrt - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkI have a Z too, but it's not 14" ;) Reply
OCedHrt - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkThe Samsung Series 9 15" is about the same weight with much better specs. Reply
imaginarynumber - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkBut Sony (for example with the Z series) showed that the only tradeoff need to be the price tag. The Z11 series had much higher specs (bar touch screen) but managed to weigh less Reply
railhan - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkIt's a Thinkpad. It has a clitoris and a great keyboard. Comparison to other brands is irrelevant. Specs are only relevant if you are feeling that your current Thinkpad is slow :).
Unless someone else starts making good keyboards and a practical implementation of the trackpoint(Toshiba and HP ones are rubbish) there will continue to be only one brand for laptops. Reply
synaesthetic - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linkI don't see a blue enter key--what "great keyboard?" Lenovo threw away the main thing that made Thinkpads awesome to jump on the Apple-Sony chiclet train.
I don't get it. This really just doesn't compute to me. Am I just going to start having to carry a full-size mechanical switch keyboard around with me wherever I go just so I can have a decent typing experience on a laptop?
Nah I'll just use my old X200 until it quits working. Reply
Evil_Sheep - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - link1000000 points for making an obscure MaRo reference which only one person will get ;) Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkNot true! Chris Heinonen plays, so there's at least two people. ;) Reply
Exodite - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThere are probably more of us than one might initially think. ;) Reply
IVIauricius - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkWhy do laptop makers keep putting the Ctrl and Fn keys backwards? That is one of the top reasons I purchased a Dell XPS 13 over a MacBook Air 13. Craziness. Reply
Greenthum6 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI wondered the same before purchasing a Lenovo W520. Fortunately, you can easily switch Fn and Ctrl in BIOS. It takes 5 minutes to memorize the change and I've had zero issues with it since. Reply
chubbypanda - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkIt's actually the opposite, this is the layout it suppose to be. If needed Lenovo, unlike Apple give you option to switch these two. Reply
bji - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThere is no "layout that is supposed to be". However there is historical precedent and Apple and Lenovo are breaking it, for what that's worth.
Apple may not give you the built-in option to switch but there are free and easy to use apps that allow you to reconfigure the keyboard on OS X. Within 10 minutes of getting my rMBP I had downloaded and installed such an app and used it to switch the Ctrl and Fn keys and then popped the key caps off of the keyboard and switched them. Reply
bji - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI should point out that you can't switch the key caps on the Lenovo since they are different sized keys. However on the Mac they are identically sized and so they can be switched with no issue. Reply
bji - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkAlso may I point out that back in the day when Sun worstations were de rigeur in software development, we used to remap the Control and Caps Lock keys, which on Sun keyboards were for some bizarre reason switched from where they are on a normal PC keyboard. Reply
Bob-o - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkBizarre? The UNIX world always had Control located where PC keyboards have CapsLock. Control is used much more frequently and it's a more natural location. Especially if you are an emacs user.
Those of use from that world struggle with modern keyboards and xkb mappings. Luckily I still have my Type 4 and a USB adapter. :-) Reply
bji - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkI'm an emacs user and I find control in the bottom left to be very usable. The "pinky pull down" to hit the control key is easy to do. However playing with my keyboard for a few moments I can see where Control where caps lock would be wouldn't even require moving the pinky finger. So I guess it's better, except that pulling the pinky down to hit control is so effortless as to make the point fairly moot. Reply
Belard - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkYep... as a long-term and current ThinkPad owner, considering the areas that Lenovo is "modernizing" the ThinkPad line... it would be great if THEY would correct the fn/Ctrl keys! In BIOS you can change it... and I guess with a tiny tool, you can simply pop the keys off.
Its still a great keyboard... I doubt as good as the CLASSIC keys from last year and beyond, but they have the added advantage of LIGHTING UP. Reply
bji - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkShould have posted about this here instead of in my post above, anyway, you can't swap the physical key caps on the Lenovo since the Fn and Ctrl keys are different size. Reply
Flunk - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThat's interesting, I always have the opposite problem with my Alienware m14x R2, to me the FN key should be on the far left. Reply
noeldillabough - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI agree, I must have gotten used to laptops having the fn key to the far left because it seems "right" (lenovos for more years than I care to admit)
I'd never buy a carbon though, ultrabook don't cut it for me, I want an x240 with a higher res screen and haswell cpu. Reply
KarateBob - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThe redeeming factor of this review coming out 3 weeks before Haswell, is if there's a slick deal inventory liquidation or Lenovo outlet deal on these, we'll know it's a solid buy. Reply
noblemo - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThank you for the review. How badly does the glossy touchscreen collect fingerprints? Also, how stable is the laptop when pressing against the touchscreen; does the whole computer rock back if you don't put a hand behind the display? Reply
Gadgety - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkGreat review, and well argued. "It's a fantastic Ultrabook, but it's not enterprise." It iwould be interesting to know, which qualify for enterprise? Other parts of the ThinkPad lineup, HP, who? Thank you. Reply
ShieTar - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkOther parts of the ThinkPad lineup, yes. Also HP Elitebook, Fujitsu Celsius, Dell Precision and the maybe the MSI GT line. Then there are a few enterprise boutiques, e.g. Schenker and Wortmann in Germany.
Then again, I'm not sure anybody has an Ultrabook that qualifies as an Enterprise device as such. Reply
Dug - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkUsually things like - compatibility with docking stations, self encrypting drives, BIOS locks, asset tagging, specific deployment packages, etc. Reply
noeldillabough - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkAlthough I have a dock for each of my laptops (except macbooks) I am looking forward to the "universal dock connector" that is surely coming. Thunderbolt/Mag connector or whatever. I want to plug ONE thing in max. Reply
Silma - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThe X1 Carbon would have been interesting with a better higher resolution screen, removable better battery, an ethernet port and less outrageous price - notably in Europe where it is incredibly expensive.
On the plus side kudos for the mini display port as well as 8GB RAM option (would have preferred 16GB though) and the battery fast charge.
In addition there are many other interesting ultrabooks now (Samsung Series 7, Toshiba Kirabook) and even an Asus Zenbook Touch will compare favorably if you can do with 4GB RAM. Reply
zodiacfml - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linki thought the price was due to the carbon fiber and i thought it's going to have problems with regards to heat. it's pretty neat overall. Reply
Calista - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkFor those devoted to the mighty trackpoint I guess it will be an easy sell no matter what. Reviewers (both from Anandtech and others) often spend a fair amount of time describing the trackpad and keyboard. What they seem to overlook is all the people who couldn't care less about the size or quality of the trackpad as long as the pointing stick is working well. And in this the Thinkpad series have always excelled.
Still, I agree that 4GB is stingy this day and age, but paired with a quick SSD it will outlast the 3 years or so the laptop is supposed to be in use in a corporate setting. The only thing that worry me is if we see a huge shift in the use of virtualization, and the expected increase of memory that will follow. 8/16GB would increase the longevity of the laptop although, and so it's a bit sad a saving in the $50 range could cut several year from the expected lifetime of the laptop.
Anyway, I understand the position of the X1 well, it's a stylish Thinkpad. For those asking for extended battery life, a better display, more power or whatever Lenovo offer a huge range of different models to cater to those wishes. Reply
CSMR - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkLenovo has some great products but this is not one of them. Poor quality screen at a steep price. Reply
Daniel Egger - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkNot going to buy Lenovo ever again after the disaster with the breaking displays on the X121e which Lenovo simply declared as a customer problem because you're according to Lenovo not supposed to carry a laptop just like that in a regular laptop bag. ThinkPad is just not a decent brand anymore as it used to be. Reply
Belard - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkStill better than most... and when you call tech support, you're talking to someone who speaks ENGLISH. Reply
Belard - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkFolks should keep in mind that its only the ThinkPad T-Series that is considered their TOP-END. The X1 is not a work-horse, never designed to be one.
The ThinkPad T430s series is their thin serious computers (1" thick) but from experience, its still better to get the regular T-Series. its .5" thicker, far easier to service and about $200 less. And those we regular screens come with Windows7Pro by default. Reply
noeldillabough - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThe screen on my T520 sucks compared to the one on my X230...one is a corporate buy so its probably not the upgraded screen but still. Here's hoping the future is bright on screens and there are no more 768 pixel high screens anymore. Reply
Belard - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linkThe higher end screen looks better... none of them are as bright as the glossy screens. I'd take that over having the screen have the mirror look. Reply
Johnmcl7 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - link"The X1 Carbon is further evidence of the consumerization of the ThinkPad line; the chiclet keyboard may be the best you can find, but it's still a chiclet keyboard"
I don't understand this statement, what is the but for? I've used a variety of Thinkpad machines over the years and I find their current generation of chiclet keyboards both on their smaller and larger machines to be the best they've made. I find them comfortable to type on with better speed and accuracy than previous machines and users of the machines at work have made similar comments so I don't see how having a better keyboard is a 'but' regardless of whether you're an enterprise or home user. Yes, it may not be the classic Thinkpad keyboard but Lenovo have to move forwards.
I normally don't mind trackpads but their current one is horrible, I don't know what they were thinking as the button action doesn't work very well. I would have preferred they just left the trackpoint as with the older x200 as I end using the trackpoint anyway but with the trackpad there tend to default to it first then remember how bad it is and switch to the trackpoint.
John Reply
noeldillabough - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkYeah I was VERY worried when the x230 came with a new keyboard, having used the old school keyboard for so many years. But after using it I realize the keyboard is GREAT! I hope they keep this in mind, if they mess up the keyboard it will be time to move to another manufacturer. Reply
chubbypanda - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkWhat makes it difficult to review this laptop is its name. This isn't real ThinkPad (same as ThinkPad Edge, better than majority of consumer-grade production but not quite there). No upgrades possible including battery, no docking station connector. But for an ultrabook, it's pretty solid machine. If you want ThinkPad, you buy X or T series. It's obvious from interview with Lenovo designers last year:
Otsuka: I'd like to make a successor to the X300.
That may have been Lenovo's goal with the original X1. But personally when I refer to a successor to the X300 I mean a conventional Classic series product with well-balanced attributes.
The X300 has a perfect balance of size and weight, despite providing expandability for the optical disk drive and battery. I'd like to make a product like that. I think that would be a product faithful to the Classic series pedigree.
In contrast, I'd compare the X1 Carbon to a Formula 1 car with leading-edge specs. It can't drive on public roads. I'd like to make the successor to the X300 a compact, all-round sports car that applies Formula 1 technology but can still drive on public roads.
The T4X0s and original X1 were actually products that utilized the technology in the X300. Now with the X1 Carbon we've moved up a step. We still have a lot of challenges ahead of us.
(see http://blog.lenovo.com/design/developers-on-the-x1...
Hopefully this suggests there is X230 successor coming and it's going to be that ThinkPad we know and enjoy. Fingers crossed! Reply
hasseb64 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkHope Haswell really is improving things for this market. (been disappointed so many times before by Intel)
These "Ultrabooks" are not good enogh products.
Better battery, less emissions, more power and every little single technical detail must be perfect, then people may find "Wintel" products enyoyable again. Reply
deeps6x - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI saw the article, and was hoping that this might be a Haswell sneak peek. No? Darn. Kept reading. Came to this: "It's a 14" Ultrabook, but it hopefully heralds more of the kinds of designs we can look forward to in the 14" and up Ultrabook bracket." and was thinking, 'well, maybe it still has some redeeming qualities'. But then I saw the spec sheet. Shitty resolution, glossy display. Dead stop. No need to read any more. Jumped to the comments.
I will give them props for using a 5GHz wifi chip. $3 well spent in the BOM. Any 2013 laptop maker that doesn't include this must not want sales. Any 2013 laptop manufacturer that thinks a checkmark next to 'glossy screen' and 'touch screen' is a positive, is to be avoided at all costs. They should be forced to use their junk in perpetuity. I'm thinking this must be one of Dante's hell levels. Right? Reply
nportelli - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkWhy do all 14in laptops only have 900p display tops? Yet smaller 13in ones have 1080p? Seems silly. And only 4gb? For that price? Reply
Sm0kes - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkQuite simply, cost. OEM's don't think they need to offer a more compelling display if it only a small percentage of customers care. I'd be willing to bet the bulk of Lenovo's X1 sales were through the enterprise IT channel. Those buyers are typically only focused on price.
It's only the likes of Apple, Asus, Sony (and now Toshiba) that continue to raise the collective display bar. It's shocking it still hasn't caught on, but it's getting better. Reply
danjw - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkAny review of a big OEM's computers should include a list of spamware that is pre-installed. So everyone knows how much work it will be to uninstall the junk. Also a section on how easy it is to remove would be nice too. I know, in a previous job I had, we had a Dell lab computer that shipped with security software that needed to be patched to even be able to uninstall it. Since this system was one we used for testing, it was a real pain in the butt, since we were regularly re-setting it to the state it came from Dell. Reply
Kornfeld - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI have to take issue with a number of items in this review. I certainly think the price on the X1 Carbon Touch is high, but it is being compared to other devices that aren't like for like. If you're going to compare the XPS 13 to an equivalent Lenovo product, then it should be compared to the X1 Carbon, not the touch version. The non-touch version weighs under 3.00 lb and seems to run about $130 USD less compared to similar configurations for the Touch models. I can understand that this review wasn't for the non-Touch version, but it still seems unethical to make such comparisons without at least adding some caveats regarding the disparate features of the products.
There is also a few comments regarding enterprise features that are lacking in the X1 Carbon Touch.
I don't understand why some of these things are being brought up. AnandTech has never really properly evaluated enterprise features of laptops. If you want to talk about Enterprise features, you probably need to start with listing what features you consider to be relevant to Enterprise usage. For me, this involves a number of items including: product lifecycle, global availability of the system, serviceability of parts, vPro support, support for BIOS changes via script or some other tool, Ethernet for OS deployment, and PXE boot support for OS deployment (either via USB Ethernet or wired Ethernet). You could even evaluate enterprise support provided for related utilities, like whether or not the vendor provides admin templates to manage utilities via Group Policy. The default warranty should not be considered an Enterprise issue. As long as the vendor provides warranty options that are well matched for the Enterprise, that is the only real factor. Beyond that, it's really a matter of pricing for the specific warranty options. Why is the chicklet keyboard being mentioned as a consumer feature? Both Dell and Lenovo are switching their enterprise products to this style of keyboard. It may be a trend that started in the consumer space, but there's no reason provided as to why this would be considered less well suited for Enterprise environments. Reply
herzigma - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkAccording to other reviews, the non-touch Carbon gets substantially better (~2 hours?) battery life and ways less than 3 lbs. I wonder if that model would do better in the above review?
Also, I wish it were smaller! I travel too much so an 11" machine is totally worthwhile. Reply
zsero - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkI have been a huge Thinkpad fan, but if I were to buy an ultrabook, I'd definitely buy a Samsung Series 9 these days. Is there any chance of a 900X3E review one day? 1.1 kg!!!, 1920x1080 IPS screen, upgradable RAM and SSD (once you open up the machine). Reply
Bob-o - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThe 15" Series 9 has upgradable RAM, but I think the 13" is soldered on. Both have upgradable drives though (mSATA on 13", not sure about 15" off the top of my head). Reply

Hulk - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThis computer is close to what I want. It has the right form factor and other features but it needs two things in my opinion.
1. IPS screen
2. Quad core - I'm hoping that Haswell will bring quad that will be suitable for these larger ultrabooks. I don't care if it throttles down to 1GHz as long as with proper air space/cooling/power it can throttle up. I'm hoping to see 25W quads with Haswell and 17W quads with Broadwell. Until then I think I'll just stick with my 2006 Dell 640m T7200. Reply

darwinosx - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkIf the Lenovo is the Widows equivalent of a Mac that's pretty bad. Lenovo makes cheap junk and supports it the same way. They do not deserve the Thinkpad name for those of us who owned real Thinkpad's in the past. Apple's laptops just destroy this one not least because they use a modern OS and have premium build quality, screen's service and support. Reply
dave_the_nerd - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThis ultrabook is making my pants fit funny. Reply
underpass - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkSomething often overlooked (especially when the Mac fans get in on the fun) is that you could use this laptop as a Frisbee in the park on your lunch break and still use it for your afternoon hacking marathon. Most (if not all) of the ThinkPad line passes MIL-SPEC 810F certification for ruggedness. Also customer service for the ThinkPad line is excellent, as are the extra warranties they offer (multi-year accidental damage). Typical turn-around time for a repair is ~2-3 days. These features are huge pluses for the corporate or professional environment, which is why you still see a lot of ThinkPads in these places. Including the international space station and (former) space shuttle missions. As for the X1 Carbon specifically (I have a non-touch version with an i7), the ONLY complaint I have about it is that damned chicklet keyboard. It may be the best chicklet keyboard around, but it will never reach the 'Legendary' status of the classic ThinkPad keyboard. Reply
underpass - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkPS. The battery life isn't great, but it charges insanely fast. I think Anandtech should have a 'charge-off' between the popular ultrabooks. Reply
peterfares - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkThank you for finally starting to call out the pathetic 4GB RAM manufactures are using in expensive machines! When a $800 laptop in 2009 had 4GB RAM there is no reason anything above $500 should come with just 4GB RAM.
Whenever I mention this I always get a bunch of deranged replies stating that there's no reason to have more than 4GB RAM. Reply
gobaers - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkLenovo needs to fork their Thinkpad line into two, one for enterprise (what "Thinkpad" used to be) and one for consumer/prosumer. I thought the "Thinkpad Edge" branding would have been good for this. Taken as such, this should be called the "Thinkpad Edge X1."
If they want to keep using "Thinkpad" the way they have been the past few years, why not separate out a line called "Thinkpad Pro" for diehards like me? Give us an X series, a couple T series, and a workstation replacement W series. Give us the keyboard back, magnesium rollcage design, IPS displays, charge $1800 for it. Roll back the numbers a bit; I want mine to be called Thinkpad Pro T30s. It has Haswell.
A guy can dream... Reply
Mumrik - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkDustin, I have a suggestion.
Anandtech is a general hardware site, so you don't have to review all laptops. How about just making it a rule that you unless special circumstances are in place simply won't review laptops with 1366x768 or lower resolution? Reply
JFish222 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linkStay Away!
I purchased 2 of these for my company (about 3 months apart.)
Normally I would never buy a non-upgradable & difficult to service laptop for the company, but what management wants . . .
The newer of the two laptops had its battery stop holding a charge after about 6 months of use. The older unit's battery stopped holding a charge 5 days after the 1yr warranty expired. Lenovo will not replace it and referred us to a local 3rd party service center (who wants ~$600).
I can't speak on the newer unit, but the older unit that just crapped out shows 84 cycles on the battery. The only good thing out of the whole mess: Management will stop arguing with me when I say no (for now at least). A T430S is close in weight and size, and lacks the repair / mid-cycle upgrade headaches that are sure to happen in any environment.
How they every marketed this to businesses is beyond me!
PS: Only good thing about Lenovo (besides the T series) is they document the hell out of everything. Replacing the batt. will be a headache, but is doable. Anyone who's repaired a laptop shouldn't have to much difficulty, and the service manual tells you exactly what components to remove to get to it. Reply
some_guy - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkThis is the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks.
I am still waiting for something that is closer to my T60 notebooks with the 4:3 SXGA+, nice keyboard, TrackPoint, and runs Linux, though some compromise seems necessary. Perhaps the next version of the Chromebook Pixel. Reply
Belard - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linkNobody is making 4:3 screens. 16:10 was fine... but now its 16:9... it sucks. And when I'm ready for the next monitor upgrade... it will be 16:9 ugh... but it will be at least 2560x1400 res (I'd like for it to be 2560x1600 thou)... and be only 27" to get the higher dot pitch.

jmsb - Saturday, May 18, 2013 - link"stopped holding a charge 5 days after the 1yr warranty expired"
The x1 carbon has only been out since August 2012 - 9 months at best. Reply
Belard - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linkThere are other Carbon series notebooks. Reply
eviljav - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkThe keyboard layout is terrible. The should put page up and page down back in the top right corner, in a block with delete, home, & end. Reply
CrazyElf - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkYeah, it's really the price that kills this laptop. It's not a bad laptop per se, but for the money ... it's really hard to justify.
One huge advantage I suppose of getting this over the Mac is that laptops like these are more durable - Lenovo Thinkpads in general are well built (although their cooling solutions could be better). I think they do pass MIL-SPEC 810F (not 100% on this one).
Battery is just so, so. And for the price they ask, I expect a better LCD panel. Reply
CrazyElf - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkI wonder if they cheaped out on the battery - not able to hold a charge after only a handful of cycles. This is an example of saving a few dollars here and there for a laptop that costs over a thousand dollars. Reply
Hrel - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkAt 1200 bucks I would expect AT LEAST:
8GBx1 DDR3 1600 RAM. A 256GB/240GB SSD. Wireless a/c 5Ghz. Then if they could fit a larger battery in it, 54Wh for instance, that would help a lot too.
For $1320 I expect better specs than these...
Not a bad system, just not suited well in the market; especially with Haswell right around the corner. Reply
boe - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkIf this thing was about 1lb lighter and had a higher resolution screen, I'd be interested Reply
smilingcrow - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkThe Dell XPS 14 was mentioned but the screen is a washed out mess worthy of a laptop less than half its price. Its a poor TN panel with its one saving grace being the resolution of 1600x900.
The XPS 12 and 13 in contrast have wonderful 1080P IPS panels. What were Dell thinking! Reply
relativityboy - Thursday, May 16, 2013 - linkIn your review you said "High resolution" that's HILARIOUS!
WTH? Did someone pay you to say that? Reply
frakkel - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkI love the x series. But why did they go for 16:9 format. I dont buy a labtop for watching movies. Please go back to screens with a more square layout e.g. 4:3 or at least 16:10 Reply
Belard - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linkYep... I miss the 16:10 screens like my current 5+ year old ThinkPads. To give you an idea of the height loss. a 14" 16:10 has the same height as the 15" 16:9 - I noticed this during their transition from the two aspect ratios. So we went with the older 14" model which results in a smaller and lighter notebook.
A major reason Lenovo went with 16:9 is that they still have to get their displays from a supplier. And because everything is 16:9, it costs LESS money. To go with the 16:10 could had $50~100 to the costs or more because of mass-production.
At least they still make screens that are NOT gloddy. Reply
crispbp04 - Friday, May 17, 2013 - linkThe use of the term "kit" to refer to hardware is driving me, in the words of Gwen Stefani, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Reply
coastwalker - Saturday, May 18, 2013 - linkHardware Enterprise vendors are in a difficult situation. Windows 8 is destroying their market. No business with any sense is going to buy the consumer mobile phone interface that Windows 8 is. This is great news because it probably means that we can switch back to Apple again like we did in the 80s. I cant wait! Reply
Shinobi_III - Sunday, May 19, 2013 - linkWhat's the point of 5Ghz wifi anyway? You point it out as absurd that it's not included.
But it doesn't offer more performance, and the range is atrocious.
I have a wifi router from Asus with both, and 5Ghz is 75% signal one room off, and doesn't even work down stairs. The 2.4G works out in the garage! Reply

There's nothing wrong with a healthy ego. A few shots of the woody, black fig- and patchouli-tinged Tom Ford Extreme beneath his open collar will put him in the mood to celebrate—what else?—numero uno.
Loves Models
If, like newlywed Nicolas Sarkozy, your man falls hard for beauté, offer him a splash of the stately leather, iris, and vetiver Dior Homme cologne—a spritz by one of the Première Dame's favorite fashion labels.
For the man who has it all—and isn't afraid to broadcast it—Sean "Diddy-Daddy" Combs has generously mixed up Sean John I Am King. The fruity cocktail boasts notes of crème de cassis, bubbly (Cristal, one can only assume), and something called imperial French berry. Ooh la la.

I have consistently demonstrated my ability to meet deadlines and ensured that targets are achieved, regardless of circumstances or limitations. I have held positions of responsibility where I acted as supervisor for highly trained personnel working in extreme conditions or life threatening environments and have taken part in active duties in the Far East, European and British Isles in defence of the crown. My experience to date has enabled me to develop not only specialist skills in marine engineering, but also allowed me to hone personal qualities that enabled me to coordinate and train teams to exceptional levels of competence and confidence. I hope to put these to good use in the public domain as an assistant trainer or instructor but would be willing to progress in any direction to secure employment.

A WEB-SLINGING York window cleaner is winning new customers after deciding to do his rounds dressed up as comic book superhero Spiderman.
Sydney Rooth, of Poppleton, hit upon the idea after noticing he shared a birthday with Spiderman's young alter ego, Peter Parker.
After finding a his red-and-blue costume on internet auction site eBay, 30-year-old Sydney said it was proving popular and was bringing in plenty of customers for his new business, SAS Style windowcleaners.
He said: "I work up ladders and at heights and I just thought it made perfect sense. I'm getting lots of work in since I went for out in the costume for the first time on Sunday.
"Kids love it. They don't actually think I'm Spiderman, but they do shout up at me and want to know why I'm wearing the costume. It's got me lots of work."
Sydney, who recently moved to York from Newquay, said friends were initially sceptical about donning the costume and taking on the role of friendly neighbourhood Spiderman.
"Everybody who thought it was a silly idea now knows it's taking off. One person said I wouldn't get any work at all."

Corn futures closed lower on Thursday. Prices were weighed down by USDA's Supply/Demand report. Higher than expected yield forecasts of 166 bu/a, putting production at 14.79 billion bushels was bearish for corn. Old crop stocks were expected to be down 52 million bushels, but instead were raised 50 million to 851 million. New crop ending stocks came in at 1.881 billion bushels versus trade expectations of 1.714 billion. July is 19 3/4 cents lower at $5.87 1/2 and December is 9 1/2 cents lower at $5.07 1/4.
Soybean futures closed higher on Thursday. The market closed up on support from USDA's bullish Supply/Demand report. Lower than expected ending stocks for both old and new crop. Exports for 2011/12 were raised 25 million bushels to 1.315 billion bushels and 2012/13 are pegged at 1.505 billion. Old crop stocks are forecast at 210 million bushels, down 40 million from April. New crop ending stocks are pegged at 145 million bushels compared to the trade estimate of 164 million. July is 25 cents higher at $14.55 1/4 and November is 25 1/2 cents higher at $13.59.
Wheat futures closed mixed on Thursday. USDA's Supply/Demand report was mostly bullish for wheat, but spillover pressure from corn weighed on futures. World numbers were lower than expected, with old crop world ending stocks forecast at 197.03 mmt and new crop pegged at 188.13 mmt. U.S. stocks were also forecast lower despite expectations for a large crop, as exports are estimated at 1.15 million bushels for 2012/13. U.S. winter wheat is pegged at 1.694 billion bushels, up 13% from 2011. CBOT July is 1 1/4 cent higher at $6.01 1/4; KCBT July is 1 1/2 cents lower at $6.17 1/2; and MGE July is 3 cents lower at $7.27 1/4.
Cattle Futures closed lower on Thursday. Cattle futures saw slight volatility. Gains from strengthened beef demand were limited by spillover pressure from hog losses. The lack of cash trade so far this week and lower boxed beef prices caused prices to tumble from mid-morning levels. Both choice and select cutouts were more than $1 down. June cattle futures are 65 cents lower at $115.85 and August is 35 cents lower at $118.60.
Lean hog futures closed lower on Thursday. Weaker cash prices and mixed packer margins continued to weigh on the market. The drop in pork cutouts was a bearish factor also. Hog slaughter is predicted to be mostly steady this week between 2.08 and 2.09 million head. The June contract fell 35 cents to $84.50 and July was down 50 cents at $84.77.

On my visits to the Family History library in Salt Lake City I have always been torn between reading as many films as I can of records which haven't been put online, making a beeline for the book & pamphlet library (I could spend weeks sitting on the floor just reading everything shelf by shelf !) or do I head for the family history books to see if anyone has published a book on one of my family lines? Decisions, decisions…
As some of you may know there is a project by the LDS to digitize the genealogy & family history books from some of the leading libraries in America and also the contents of the Family History books at Salt Lake. The collection now numbers in excess of 40,000 books and whilst many of them will be by American authors a considerable number will have English content in them. The libraries that are involved in this project are listed below.
The material being scanned includes family histories, county and local histories, gazetteers, and medieval histories & pedigrees. There was a report on the FamilySearch blog which lists the new additions for June to the online collection. The list is separated out into various headings so finding material of interest is very easy. Scanning quickly through the British Isles section I see that there is a wide variety of documents from "The fabric rolls of York Minster : with an appendix of illustrative documents", " The visitations of Kent, taken in the years 1530-1 by Thomas Benolte, and 1574 by Robert Cooke" to "The road-books & itineraries of Ireland, 1647 to 1850; a catalogue" & "The parish registers of Hollesley, Co. Suffolk".
The books can be found on the FamilySearch website, click on the tab BOOKS, then click on the coloured tab FAMILY HISTORY BOOKS, there is a simple or an advanced search option and the search can be undertaken by title, author, surname or full text. The books can be save onto a disc or onto your computer hard-drive.
This online library is just one of the gems on the FamilySearch website, put aside a couple of hours and enjoy searching through this wonderful genealogical collection. Also remember that new additions are being added on a monthly basis.

I don't know about you, but after Thanksgiving I can only handle one day of turkey-cranberry-stuffing sandwiches. After that, I start to get bored — and bloated.
Instead of treading the same-old leftover route, turn your Turkey Day extras into something different with Turkey Tacos (shown above). They're great with white or dark meat; it doesn't matter. Just reheat the meat in a saute pan with onions, coriander, cumin and chile power, wrap it up in corn tortillas and top with whatever you like: lettuce, sour cream, lettuce; maybe some picked carrots and jalapenos for a little punch.
Another tasty option: Giada's garlicky Turkey Bolognese (above). While you could make your own marinara for it, why? Use a jar from your pantry and save precious time for all that holiday shopping. It'll still taste divine.
If you're a die-hard traditionalist and insist on day-after sandwiches, at least make it worthwhile. Kelsey Nixon's got your number with her delicious-beyond-belief Leftover Turkey Sandwich with Spicy Cranberry Cream (above). The cream is the clincher: Apple cider, cranberries, cranberry juice and maple syrup are boiled down until thick and syrupy and then mixed with Greek yogurt, scallions and jalapenos. You'll be making this far past 'leftover weekend' for sure.
And if your inner fatty hasn't been satiated enough, it's time for dessert! Turn leftover or unused rolls into a decadent caramel bread pudding or get even more ambitious with Kelsey's Apple Pie Shake (above). It goes like this: Chill a leftover slice of apple pie (or pumpkin) in the freezer. Remove it; place in a blender with whole milk and vanilla ice cream. Die from happiness.
Looking for more ideas? Check out our top 20 favorite ways to reheat and remix Thanksgiving leftovers here.

Of the $126 million raised by the mining tax in its first six months, BHP Billiton paid $77 million, or 61 per cent of it, in a single instalment in January.
Outgoing BHP chief Marius Kloppers defended the low payment on Tuesday, saying the minerals resource rent tax was raising revenue as it was designed to do.
"There is no doubt that the MRRT will result over time in us paying higher royalties and taxes than we paid before it was passed. Absolutely no doubt.
"It's how the design is. It is a design that overlaps exactly with the original Ken Henry proposals, in that it is counter-cyclical. When exchange rates are high, and prices are low, it goes down. When exchange rates are low, and prices are high, it goes up.
"We'll pay more over a cycle. But gosh, to measure that over one six-month period and declare it one way or the other, that's probably not a call that I'm brave enough to make."
BHP reported on Wednesday that it paid $US6.1 billion in taxes and royalties including $A4.8 billion in Australia in the first half of the current financial year.
Chairman Jac Nasser said Australia needed to remain competitive and, following the introduction of the mining tax, the country was "at the top end worldwide".
"There is no shortage of great ore bodies around the world," Mr Nasser said. "Many times when I read the comments of late, I start to imagine we're not paying any tax at all.
"We paid $US11 billion around the world last year and $A9 billion of that was in taxes and royalties in Australia.
"That's an awful lot of money, even for a company the size of BHP Billiton.
Mr Nasser would not comment on whether the mining tax would be an issue in the federal election but said: "If it is a major election issue, it will be someone else deciding it will be an election issue. We've made our position [clear]."

Auburn, Ala. - Each year the Water Works Board of the City of Auburn (AWWB) produces and distributes its annual Consumer Confidence Report (CCR). The purpose of this report is to notify all customers about the quality and safety of their drinking water. Additionally, the CCR provides customers with information about what contaminants, if any, are in their drinking water and how these contaminants may affect their health. CCR's also provide the AWWB with an opportunity to educate its customers about its water sources and the treatment and delivery methods used to ensure compliance with State and Federal laws. In past years a paper copy has been delivered to every customer. This year the AWWB will be utilizing electronic delivery to directly notify each customer about where to access a digital copy of the CCR and how to request a paper copy if they desire one. Paper copies will continue to be available at the Bailey Alexander Water and Sewer Complex and various other public facilities. Digital copies of the 2012 CCR can be viewed at www.auburnalabama.org/wrm/CCR.
This public notice is meant to inform you of this change in delivery method. If you have any questions, please contact the Water Resource Management Department at 334-501-3060.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Neighbors who live near the scenes of Jacksonville's most recent gun violence spoke out on Wednesday night.
"I thought maybe it was firecrackers or something. When I heard people screaming I knew something was wrong," said one neighbor.
Police say two young women have lost their lives at the hands of boyfriends with guns in less than two weeks. Neighbors in northwest Jacksonville, where a young woman was killed on Thanksgiving Day, said the shooting disturbed their community.
The other shooting happened Tuesday morning in Riverside. In both cases, police said the gunmen were former felons, not allowed to own a gun.
"You know guns are just like car keys anymore. A lot of young people have premature access to guns long before their maturity can deal with it," said a neighbor.
Neighbors said they want something done to stop ex-cons from getting their hands on guns. Channel 4 Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson said that's easier said than done.
"It's easier for them to get a gun than a meal off the street. They know other felons, other criminals," said Jefferson.
Eric Friday is lead counsel for a gun rights group in the area called Florida Carry. Friday said these cases are not reasons for stronger gun laws.
"Poll after poll show Americans support right to bear arms," said Friday. "We have a war on drugs and banned drugs on the street for 30 years and you've seen how that works. If you can't stop drugs, how can you stop guns?"
In July, Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam Putnam came out to differentiate ex-cons from legal gun owners.
"They are overwhelmingly law abiding citizens who for a variety of reasons wish to be given a concealed weapons permit," said Putnam.

The theory of evolution clearly conflicts with the second law of thermodynamics (the law of entropy), one of the most basic laws of physics. (See The Second Law of Thermodynamics)
According to this experimentally proven theory, all systems in the universe, left to their own devices, will suffer disorder, disruption and impairment in direct relation to the passage of time.
In order not to violate this scientific law, evolutionists use various concepts in a misleading manner. They maintain that specific order can arise in systems undergoing constant exchanges of matter and energy.
For example, when wind enters a dusty room, it may move all the dust that has settled and deposit it in one corner of the room. However, these dust particles can never order themselves by using the energy of the wind to produce a recognizable image of, say, a human being.
Similarly, when the A key on a keyboard is pressed repeatedly (with a corresponding flow of energy entering the system), the result is dozens of repetitions of the letter, as in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa . . . However, this constant repetition contains no information, no complexity. For a sequence of letters to contain information in the form of a meaningful sentence, paragraph or book, an intelligent, ordering mind is absolutely essential.
As a result, no complex, organized system can ever arise through natural processes, although simple combinations of the kind described above may occur from time to time. These arrangements never go beyond specific limits, however.
Yet evolutionists depict examples of self-ordering that arise spontaneously in this way as significant evidence for evolution, portraying them as supposed examples of self-organization. As a result of this misconception, they suggest that living systems can emerge spontaneously as a result of natural chemical reactions.
However, ordered systems and organized systems have totally distinct structures. Ordered systems include simple arrangements and repetitions, while organized systems contain very complex and interconnected structures and functions. Knowledge and conscious design are essential if they are to emerge.
Ilya Prigogine resorted to this deliberate conceptual confusion and referred to molecules that arranged themselves as energy passed through them as "spontaneously self-organizing." In their book The Mystery of Life's Origin, the American scientists Thaxton, Bradley and Olsen describe the position in these terms:
In each case random movements of molecules in a fluid are spontaneously replaced by a highly ordered behaviour. Prigogine, Eigen, and others have suggested that a similar sort of self-organization may be intrinsic in organic chemistry and can potentially account for the highly complex macromolecules essential for living systems. But such analogies have scant relevance to the origin-of-life question. A major reason is that they fail to distinguish between order and complexity. . . .79
Those same scientists also describe the logical superficiality and distortion of some evolutionists' claim that water turning into ice is an analogy of biological ordering taking place spontaneously.
It has often been argued by analogy to water crystallizing to ice that simple monomers may polymerize into complex molecules such as protein and DNA. The analogy is clearly inappropriate, however . . . The atomic bonding forces draw water molecules into an orderly crystalline array when the thermal agitation (or entropy driving force) is made sufficiently small by lowering the temperature. Organic monomers such as amino acids resist combining at all at any temperature, however, much less [forming] some orderly arrangement. 80
Prigione devoted his whole career to trying to square thermodynamics with the theory of evolution. But even he admitted that there was no resemblance between the crystallization of water and the emergence of complex biological structures:
The point is that in a non-isolated system there exists a possibility for formation of ordered, low-entropy structures at sufficiently low temperatures. This ordering principle is responsible for the appearance of ordered structures such as crystals, as well as for the phenomena of phase transitions. Unfortunately, this principle cannot explain the formation of biological structures. 81

• nacreous •
Pronunciation: ney-kri-yês • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Comprising or resembling nacre, otherwise known as mother-of-pearl. 2. Lustrous with a play of rainbow colors, iridescent.
Notes: The plethora of clippings like prof, rep, and pic suggest English speakers like shortcuts. So, it is odd that we prefer the long, misleading phrase mother-of-pearl to the much shorter and simpler nacre [ney-kêr]. Especially so, since this Good Word comes replete with family members for all occasions: nacred "covered with mother-of-pearl", and a choice of nouns: nacreosity or nacreousness "iridescence".
In Play: Nacreous clouds are familiar to meteorologists but why let them have all the fun? "The Kremlin, framed in the nacreous clouds of sunset, burned an indelible picture in his mind." In fact, it is a word that should raise its beautiful head whenever iridescence catches our eye: "He loved the smell the salt and sun on her hair, now nacreous in the light of the setting sun."
Word History: Today's word comes from afar. We borrowed it, as usual, from French, this time from nacre "mother-of-pearl". French absorbed it from Old Italian naccaro "drum, mother of pearl", a Western copy of Arabic naqqara "small drum". The Arabic noun came from the verb naqara "to bore or pierce", apparently how the drum was made. The Italian word went on to become current Italian nacchere "castanets".

A newborn
goes back and forth between sleeping and waking during a
24-hour day. Over the first 3 months, the baby gradually
sleeps for longer periods. By the third or fourth month, most babies sleep for
their longest period (up to 7 to 8 hours) during the night and develop set nap
You can help your baby—and yourself—sleep
better. The goal is to help your baby learn self-comfort so that he or she can get to sleep, and get back to sleep, with little help from you.

PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 4 Penn women's squash team (7-2, 1-2 Ivy) saw its bid for a top-two spot in the CSA rankings taken away by the hands of top-ranked Princeton (6-0, 3-0) on Wednesday night at the Jadwin Squash Courts. The Quakers fell behind early, and were never able to come back, losing to the Tigers, 9-0.
Penn played a total of four five-game matches and three four-game matches, dictating that the final result did not accurately display the effort. In the first rotation of matches, Chloe Blacker (7-1, 2-1) lost her first decision since the middle of last season, 3-1, at the ninth position. At No. 6, Yarden Odinak (3-3, 1-2) looked to even the match at one when she took a 2-0 lead in the early going. Unfortunately Princeton's Lexi Saunders took over the rest of the match with her stamina, winning the final three games and taking the match, 3-2. Rachael Goh (4-3, 1-2) came in at No. 3, but after taking an early 1-0 lead, fell to Princeton's Nicole Bunyan, 3-1.
The Red and Blue entered into the second rotation of matches trailing 3-0, and matters did not get any better. Steady freshman Yan Xin (5-2, 1-2) stepped in at the second position, but fell quickly for her second loss of the season, this one in straight games to Libby Eyre, 3-0. Camille Lanier (7-1, 2-1), the hero of Penn's 6-3 upset over Trinity, took her place at No. 8. The rookie fell behind 2-1 after three games, but forced a fifth. She took the final game all the way to then end, but ultimately dropped the match, 3-2. Pia Trikha (4-1, 1-1) was at the fifth position, and was able to take the first game but dropped the last three, and the match, 3-1.
Trailing 6-0, Penn was looking for some redemption in the final rotation. Nabilla Ariffin (3-3, 0-2) fell in straight sets first at No. 1. Haidi Lala (6-1, 2-1) played at the fourth position, displaying her skill by taking every other game and forcing a fifth. The freshman was unable to close the final game though, falling 3-2. The last match to finish on the night was at No. 7 between Courtney Jones (4-2, 1-2) and Alex Sawin. Jones won the first game, 14-12, and the fourth game, 11-9, to force a fifth, but was unable to finish and lost, 3-2.
The Quakers will be back in action on Feb. 2 for a doubleheader against Brown and Stanford in Providence, R.I. They will face the Bears at 11 a.m. and the Cardinal at 3 p.m.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/10/2012 (1778 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Imagine still getting together with your high school friends 70 years after graduation.
A group of women who graduated from Gordon Bell High School are doing exactly that.
The women, who graduated in 1942, meet for lunch twice a year in May and October.
St. Norbert resident Doreen Girling said after having such a great time at the school's 50th reunion in 1992, the alumni still living in Winnipeg decided they should stay in touch.
The women arranged to meet for lunch twice a year, and have been getting together for lunch now for the past 20 years. On Oct. 4, they met for the second time this year at Rae and Jerry's Steak House on Portage Avenue.
"We started out with about 12 to 14 women, but since (we started), naturally, there's been death and illnesses, so now there's eight of us that meet," said Girling, 87.
"We just don't want to lose touch. We think it's important to keep in touch as long as we can. There's really no other purpose, it's strictly a social meeting."
Girling said she's amazed the women are still meeting.
"We had considered quitting, but a couple of the women phoned me up and said we should continue," she said.
Girling said she usually takes a photo at each of the lunches and thinks it's important for the women to continue to meet.
"I like to keep in touch with some of my female friends, so that's one of the reasons I do it. I think a lot of (the other ladies) feel the same way," she said.
In 1992, Margaret Morse was the one to get things moving on the ladies' first re-uniting, their 50 year reunion.
"It seemed that it was an important thing to do. A lot of us hadn't seen each other since graduation," said Morse.
She said ladies came from as far as Montreal and California for that first reunion.
"It was interesting to see what careers (the women) went in to," Morse said.
Like Girling, Morse said it's important to her to keep up the semi-annual meetings.
"(They) bring back a lot of memories. It's nice to keep in touch with (everyone)," she said.
Morse said she hopes she and her classmates continue meeting as long as they can.
"I think we'll continue meeting as long as we're all well enough to come," she said.

Command LIVE News Network is always on the run! We are receiving rumours of an increased military activity in the North Pole. The United States is boosting their readiness in the Arctic after getting confirmation of the deployment in the region of the "Belgorod", a Russian Oscar II submarine converted for "special operations" among the Northern Fleet. This is just the latest of a long list of actions aimed to militarise the Arctic, due to the presence of high-valuable resources beneath its surface.

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, is considered by many the turning point of the American Civil War.
Lasted three days, from July 1st to July 3rd, 1863, the battle saw many epic and tragic moments, culminating in the famous Pickett's Charge, the desperate frontal assault of the confederates against the unionist defensive lines at Cemetery Ridge.
Today, Shenandoah and Slitherine are very proud to release Gettysburg: The Tide Turns, the brilliant hex-based wargame that will make you relive all the hard tactical choices the Confederates and the Unionists had to take during these long and crucial days of fierce fighting.

The development history of Gettysburg: the Tide Turns has been a rollercoaster ride. When Slitherine acquired the rights to complete the game three years ago, our expectations were that we would deliver the game in a matter of months. That turned out to be impossible and we had to rewrite huge chunks of the code from scratch, taking 3 years rather than 3 months.
Gettysburg: The Tide Turns will be available for PC on Thursday (July 13th).

The North Pole is hitting the front-page news these days, turning to be the next element of confrontation between Washington and Moscow.
Russia is in the 4th year of a 15-year project to install the 'SHELF' underwater Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS), a very modern equivalent to the US Navy's Cold War system of listening arrays in the Greenland-Iceland-UK (GIUK) Gap.
And it's news from yesterday that a Russian submarine launched a cruise missile in Arctic Barents Sea, testing Moscow's offensive-defensive capabilities in the far north.

As the developing process is marching quickly along the beta testing phase, it's time to dig a bit more into the main differences and improvements players will find from the original game released in 2009.
"Field of Glory II is a complete reboot of the franchise, based on the original tabletop Field of Glory rules as a starting point, rather than on Field of Glory I" says Richard Bodley Scott, the main designer of Field of Glory 2. "There are therefore many differences from FOG1 – which we hope are all improvements. Being co-author of the original tabletop game, I am in a unique position to create a fresh take on the system".

After the Revolution against British domination, no other event has been seen so important and decisive for the American Nation as the Civil War, fought from 1861 to 1865.
One of the most important battles of this conflict was without any doubt Gettysburg, fought between the Army of the Potomac (Union) and the Army of Northern Virginia (Confederacy) and lasted from July 1 – 3, 1863. General Lee commanding the confederate forces sought the chance to ease the pressure on the city of Vicksburg, besieged by the unionists. Instead, his was defeated by Maj. Gen. George Meade, halting the invasion of Pennsylvania and forcing his army to retreat back to Virginia.

Fernandez struggles, Marlins' rally falls short in loss
Rookie exits after 3 1/3 innings; Miami's big day on offense is for naught
ST. PETERSBURG -- Jose Fernandez received a homecoming welcome from family and friends at Tropicana Field on Monday. But the 20-year-old phenom who went to high school in Tampa was unable to help the Marlins snap their losing streak.
Fernandez gave up a season-high seven runs (four earned), including a three-run homer to Kelly Johnson, and the Rays held off the Marlins, 10-6, in front of 13,025 on Memorial Day afternoon.
"I wasn't nervous. I was a little pumped up. I was trying to do a little too much, maybe, and it didn't come out right," Fernandez said. "I was trying to make good pitches. I tried to give the team a chance to win, and it didn't happen."
The Marlins have dropped six straight, and are 0-4 on their road trip, which concludes tomorrow Tuesday in St. Petersburg.
Johnson did the most damage to Miami, belting a pair of three-run homers. His second was off A.J. Ramos in the eighth inning to break open a one-run game.
The six runs by the Marlins were their most since beating the Phillies, 14-2, on May 5. Since that game, Miami is 3-16.
Fernandez, who led Alonso High School to two state titles, had about 50 friends and family members at the game. The hard-throwing right-hander showed great promise by striking out three in the first inning, including fanning Evan Longoria with a 99-mph fastball.
"I think he just got a little bit out of his delivery," Miami manager Mike Redmond said. "He was over-throwing. I think he hit 99 a couple of times. That's great on the radar gun, but that shows me he is trying to do too much. He couldn't get it back together after that. It seemed like everything he tried, he couldn't get in the zone enough. They made him pay. You get behind big league hitters, and that's what they get paid to do, is hit."
But the game slipped away in the second inning, when the Rays scored six runs. Johnson's big blast highlighted the frame.
"Didn't want to over-think it," Johnson said of his first three-run blast. "Obviously, Longo's on deck. At that point, that's the most logical pitch to look for. I stayed there, and it was in a good spot for me."
Fernandez (2-3) struck out six, but he had his quickest exit in 10 starts, leaving after 3 1/3 innings.
Justin Ruggiano homered for Miami off Jake Odorizzi, and Greg Dobbs had two hits and two RBIs. Marcell Ozuna's single in the first inning extended his hitting streak to 12 games, the most by a Marlin this year.
Tampa Bay's six-run second inning was too much for the Marlins to overcome.
Returning to Tampa, Fernandez went back to his roots in more ways than one. He even sported a new, orange glove for the first time. But it wasn't the first time he had used a bright-colored glove.
"I used an orange glove last year," he said. "I ordered this in Spring Training. It just got in. I was like, 'Why not? I'm going to use it.' It makes me feel good. It's like my other glove, it's just orange. For me, it doesn't make any difference."
The Rays sent nine to the plate in the second. James Loney and Luke Scott each walked to open the frame, and Desmond Jennings was hit by a pitch, loading the bases.
Jose Molina's sacrifice fly opened the scoring, and Yunel Escobar added an RBI single.
A pivotal play occurred on Ben Zobrist's bunt in front of the plate. With runners on the corners and one out, catcher Rob Brantly attempted to get Escobar out at second, but his throw pulled Adeiny Hechavarria off the bag as Jennings scored.
Brantly was charged with a throwing error, Zobrist was credited with an RBI, and the Marlins were unable to overcome the hole they fell into.
"Brant, he got the ball, he just didn't look [at third]," Redmond said. "He didn't look at the runner on third base. If he just takes a peek at him, he sees him halfway down the line, and he can run him back, and it's an easy play. He tried to turn a double play. I think we got exposed a little bit there with some of our inexperience."
Unable to record an out on the play led to Johnson coming to the plate, and he delivered his three-run, two-out home run.
"It was a weird inning," Fernandez said. "Normally, I don't walk a lot of people. I thought I was making some good pitches, and I ended up walking them. I was trying to be too fine, and that's what happened.
"The most important part is I'm learning from it. That's part of it. Keep learning from it. We scored six runs today, and we didn't get the win, so it hurts."
Miami scored three runs in the fourth inning. Ruggiano belted a solo home run, while Jordan Brown had a run-scoring groundout and Chris Coghlan collected an RBI single.
After falling behind four runs, the Marlins closed the game to 7-6 with three runs in the fifth inning.
Josh Lueke relieved Odorizzi after he loaded the bases in the fifth with no outs. He was unable to qualify for the win, because he didn't complete five innings. Dobbs had a two-run single, and Brown delivered a two-out RBI single that deflected off Lueke's leg.
"Offensively, I was happy," Redmond said. "Six runs. We got some hits and we were able to string some hits together, and get some big hits and actually sustain a rally. Overall, offensively, I was happy with the way we swung the bats."
