14 Tricks to Online Merchandising
When we were kids, my mother brought my four brothers and me to the library once a week. I read voraciously, anything from classic literature like Treasure Island to books on the Egyptian pyramids. My favorite books were the Choose Your Own Adventures. I can still remember the two shelves filled with the white-backed books.
Rampaging Ronald and Website Design
My wife and I had returned to Duluth from an out-of-town weekend. We pulled off the highway and noticed that the McDonald's on London Road was completely gone. It looked like Ronald had gone on a rampage and razed the building. It was weird. The building stood there for decades. My wife remembered having her [...]

Guide to Getting the Best Business Phone Service in Medina, OH
Choosing the best Medina business phone service is an important decision for any company. Just as your website and brick and mortar location, the phone is amongst the primary ways in which customers, clients and employees alike contact you.
Because of the sometimes impersonal nature of the internet, providing a more personal method of contact through the phone also adds legitimacy to your business. Given these benefits the need for a solid business phone service is apparent, however, how to go about finding the right one is not always as obvious.
Medina Business Phone Service Options
Today, Medina business owners can select from a wide variety of phone services. From mobile phone plans for you personally as well as your employees to international calling plans there is a Medina business phone service for every type of company.
Traditional Business Phone Lines in Medina, OH
Cable phone lines are the traditional method for delivering business phone services in Medina, Ohio. Phone companies like AT&T have been providing this sort of business phone service for years. The benefits of this form of phone service are the clarity and reliability because it isn't going to depend on an internet connection.
VoIP Business Phone Service in Medina
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone services make use of the internet rather than telephone lines to deliver calls. The big advantage with this type of business phone service is the financial savings. It is also a great choice for Medina businesses that don't presently have land lines available.
Vonage is an industry leader at delivering VoIP business phone services in Medina, OH and the first significant provider of this type of service. Comcast has also recognised the advantages of this cutting edge delivery method and has begun supplying business VoIP phone service of its own.
Using Skype for Your Medina Business Phone Service
Skype has attained popularity in recent years, providing a distinctive type of phone service that is centered around video chatting that utilizes VoIP technology. Many Medina business owners like having the ability to see the people they are talking to as well as the fact that Skype is currently a free service if you're making calls from computer to computer. If you want an online number that people can call from their phones local rates will apply.
International Calling Services for Medina Businesses
Phone service that includes international calling is a wise decision for any company that routinely makes or receives calls from overseas. Many local calling plans will normally include the United States, U.S. territories, Canada and Mexico. If you require plans for calling outside those areas you should think about adding on an international calling plan to your local phone service.
Popular Business Phone Features to Look For
Business phone services today include numerous calling features based on the plan you select. These features can make your business more productive and provide a better customer service experience. Below are typical calling features that many businesses require.
- · Voicemail
- · Call waiting
- · Three way calling
- · Caller ID
- · Call transfer
Most Medina phone companies have their own unique, advanced calling features that may be added onto a plan. For instance, Vonage has what they call Visual Voicemail which transcribes all of your voicemails and sends them to you either as an email or text. It is best to look through each provider's calling features to find out which ones will benefit your business best.
One very important feature that should not be overlooked when you're getting a new business phone service in Medina is the ability to retain your existing number. Most phone companies are able to help you preserve your current number but verify this before signing up for a service.
Another thing to consider is the need for a toll free 1-800 number. There are quite a few providers who are experts in creating 1-800 numbers for businesses.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 843
Rated 4 out of 5 by Hutch69 Needs to come into the 21st century with technology
The Westin Diplomat at Hallandale Beach is a beautiful facility. The staff is completely capable and usually cordial. It is an idyllic albeit isolated location with no shopping or outside restaurants within an easy walk. While I attended a conference my wife felt quite isolated. Taxi prices in the area are high. The telephone system in the hotel is archaic and, for the room price, charging a "minimal" $12.95 for slow WIFI is a crime. I will recommend that my association find another location to hold its annual conference.

Free shuttle to/from golf course is unreliable. I put on hold for 15 minutes while calling hotel to resolve the problem, which eventually was resolved. The attendants at the golf course were not helpful in contacting the resort shuttle. A letter was left for me at the front desk, but I was never notified that it was there. If I had not asked about it at check, I would not have received it. The staff is definitely below the level I have experienced at other Westin hotels.

Second time here for a vacation. Love the beach location sooooo much and really enjoy the nice view from the balcony.
Hotel was kinda crowded during thanksgiving period with families, however every staff is just friendly as usual. Front desk is very helpful and is able to give us any information we want.
Only suggestion maybe just put more chairs in the business lounge. Kinda hard to find a seat during breakfast peak hours.

Rated 4 out of 5 by andrewr Great but expecting better...
Design and cleanliness of common areas is fantastic, ample attentive and professional staff and amazing views of both the ocean and the Intracoastal.
We were convinced to take a double-queen in lieu of our reserved king because of upgraded views, but much to our disappointment the room was a double-double (didn't even know they had those anymore), so we had to Burt & Ernie it. TV would only come on 1/10 tries. Duvet covers and bed skirts very well worn. Strange sticky red stains on floor and bed skirt between beds (pasta sauce maybe). 1 (one!) usable outlet other than the vanity, and this outlet was not located near any table, desk or other usable surface.
I am hoping this is an aberration and would still definitely consider returning, that's just how nice this facility is otherwise.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Skippy49 Dream vacation at a conference
When I attend conferences it is nice to have fine accommodations. What is very obvious in the few times our conferences have been held in a Westin property is the consistency that these hotels share in common. This allows my wife and me to experience a professional conference PLUS a wonderful few days of luxurious vacation at the same time. In fact, we are planning on adding an extra day to our next conference just to enjoy the facilities.

It was impossible to swim laps as there were a lot of children in the pool. The pool was also too warm. The customer service was very good. I would have liked to use the sauna in the spa prior to my swim and learned it was only available if I booked a service. I did book a facial which was expensive but good. I then used the too cool sauna.

If you are using Vista or Windows 7, you should let Task Scheduler be in charge of starting up programs for you. It gives you full control and logging of all startup items. I don't like writing anything to a person's registry so I don't intend to add that feature. It's also simple to drag a link to RealTemp into your Startup folder. In Vista that folder is located here: C:\Users\Your Account Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup In XP or Vista it's easy to find by clicking on the Start button and going into the All Programs menu.
Since I noticed you added the reading of NVidia temps, maybe fully add it so instead of just being a bit of the info above all the temps for the CPU, make a column just for it.
Yeah that worked out great . Man you have a great program here the best I have ever seen for temp readings . All I ask is for an option to be built in that would make it easier for use to start it up during windows post up . but I feel you if you do not wish to do this is is all good . It sure is a sweet program thank you for it .
I thought about that but I didn't want to bloat up the interface. At the moment, to see your GPU Min/Max info you can go down to the System Tray and set RealTemp to display Minimum or Maximum. There's also a small pop-up if you hover your mouse just below the GPU temp data for about 5 seconds which will also tell you more details about your Minimum and Maximum temperatures. If W1zzard wants to donate some code to project RealTemp to read ATI GPU temps then maybe I'll consider adding a fifth column to RealTemp. Thanks trickson. I'm a little anal about programs adding junk to my registry and then never cleaning up after wards that I try to avoid doing that to others. Maybe I'll come up with an option like that for users that don't like to copy links to their Startup folder. Thanks for the suggestions.
I have Real Temp in my startup folder. But when the application loads, it is minimized into my task bar. Is there any way for it to load directly into the system tray? Currently I have to right click the application and select minimize on every boot.
In the Settings window of RealTemp, do you have the Task Bar option enabled? You also need to have enabled at least one System Tray icon so it can minimize to the System Tray. What version of RealTemp and what operating system are you using? The latest version of RealTemp is available here: http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/3/1794507/RealTempBeta.zip I'm using Windows Vista at the moment and when the Task Bar option is turned off, RealTemp minimizes to the System Tray upon start up. I'm using the Task Scheduler feature of Vista. You need to be a little more specific so I can help you out.
The only think I can think of, and maybe it is already there and I am just missing the option, but it would be nice to have an option to flash the system temps in the system tray when they reach a certain user defined temp. Maybe even an option to have them change colors depending on temperatures. Something like under 40C is Blue, 40-50C is Green, 50-60C is Yellow, 60-70C is Orange, and over 70C is Red.
Mike89: When people talk computer CPU temperatures they talk in Celsius. I think Core Temp offers a Fahrenheit option. Celsius is pretty easy to learn. Head to Google and type in: 70C in F and it will do the conversion for you. Most of the time your CPU will be between 40C and 70C so write a little chart out every 5C and within a week, Celsius will make sense. Water freezes at 0C and boils at 100C (more or less). Nice and simple. newtekie1: Core Temp is also offering a feature similar to this in his latest beta. I might add this feature some day but it's still a ways in the future. Generally if your computer is stable then the core temperature of your CPU is just a number. I've run Prime Small FFTs for 3 hours with the CPU fan turned off at a core temperature of 98C and nothing bad happened. You only need to be concerned about your core temperature if your computer is crashing and if it crashes then the color of your temperature icon before it crashed isn't really useful information.
I used to be stuck in F myself. After using computer temperature reading programs for so long, I have just adapted to using C. I don't really know what a tempertature in C is in F, but I know what temperatures are safe in C, and that is really all that matters. As for the systemtray temps changing color, it isn't really an issue of stability I am worried about. I just like to use my computer to browse the internet and such when stability testing, and usually minimize Real Temp to the system tray, and it would be nice to have it change so it catches the corner of my eye if a temp goes out of range. I'm usually end up pushing the voltages and clocks too far, and temps get out of hand. Not really a major issue as the temps are down there anyway, and I can see them with a quick glance, but just something I thought migh make a great program slightly better. Just figured if you hadn't thought about adding it, I would suggest it, that is what this thread is for after all.
I know how to do the conversion. I just prefer to see temps in Fahrenheit. I don't go outside and go, "it's kind of warm, it must be around blank degrees Celius". As long as I've been around computers (and it's been quite some time now), I still don't think in Celcius, I have to convert everything over. Sort of like the inches/millimeter thing. Just what I grew up on and processed. When I see Celius, I just see a number and generally know what it's supposed to be for a cpu, but when I see a temp in Fahreheit, I actually know how hot that is. All I'm saying is it would be nice to have the option to display in either.
I'm not sure if new features are still being added to realtemp, but would it be possible to add an mch feature as well into realtemp? Supposedly a program named MCHTemp has the ability to read off the northbridge sensor in intel chipsets and give readings for those. If this feature was integrated into realtemp that would be spectacular
I'm working on adding core i9/i7/i5/i3 support to RealTemp at the moment. I tried running MCHTemp but it didn't have a signed driver so I couldn't get it to run. If you find any information about how to read northbridge temperatures then send it my way. That would be a useful addition to RealTemp. Mike89: It only took 6 months but the next version of RealTemp will have a Fahrenheit option.
Mikey thanks you very much. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's brain thinks in Fahrenheit. At least now there will be a choice so the Celius users won't be affected. Thanks again!
Lets see how about supporting this cpu: Intel QX6700 B1 2.66GHz[3.52GHz] Quad Core cpu(3.30 shows two cores, 3.00 won't work upon detecting this cpu and 2.70 shows all 4 cores)
Unclewebb, is there any chance to get a feature like in CoreTemp. I miss the single icon mode where it shows only one temperature and that is the highest of all cores. So only the temperature of the hottest core is displayed in the traybar. Info for each core is ok, but it takes too much space in the traybar. So, for now i'm forced to use CoreTemp just because of this.
SuperJoker: What operating system are you using? Just the other day I found a bug within XP that was causing some of the missing core issues that have been a RealTemp problem for various versions. In the About box of RealTemp, what does it show for the 3.30 version? Right click on the title bar to find the About... option. There was a big bug in 3.30 RC12 which I quickly removed from my site within about 12 hours but other sites got a hold of it and spread it far and wide. Try the 3.30 RC11 version and let me know if it finds your missing cores. I haven't heard any complaints about that version. http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/3/1794507/RealTempBeta.zip The QX processors have a few unique features. Hopefully if I send you a PM you can work with me to get RealTemp working correctly on your CPU. I wish I had access to a few QX CPUs but I don't. RejZoR: On 99.9% of the CPUs I've seen, core 0 is the most accurate core for reported temperatures. It's almost as if Intel puts a little more effort into calibrating that one and uses the correct TJMax for that core. If I only wanted to look at one temperature number, I'd look at that one. I'll put your suggestion on the things to do list. The bloated RealTemp Settings window needs to be broken up into a few different windows controlled by a tab similar to CPU-Z for easier access. Once I find everyone's missing cores, then I can do this and add a few more features.
XP x64, My cpu is as I said a QX6700 B1 or ES(Engineering Sample) cpu and as such a few years ago Intel had the Unicode crippled in the Bios to show only two cores for this cpu, Windows ignores this of course as Boinc will use 3 cores as I've set Boinc to do now or 4 cores If I wanted to, It's a warm cpu for It's age, But then It's the grand daddy of all quad core cpus(I got It before the retail cpus were released). I'm using 3.30 RC11 now, It sees only the gpu and two cores, the other two are grayed out, In 3.00 It says cpu not supported and 2.70 supports the cpu as It's pre Unicode and so It works.
Thanks for the detailed post. I didn't realize you were using an ES processor so now I don't feel so bad that RealTemp is choking. I'll try compiling a non unicode version of RealTemp for you, hopefully later tonight, to see if that will work properly. If you can provide detailed feedback like you've provided so far then I should be able to get this figured out for you.
I do My best and I'll be standing by, I hope the code if successful could go into the next version of Real Temp 3.xx. The retail QX6700 started at B3, Which I had one once, Oh well. Later. Update: Intel® Processor Identification Utility - Windows* Version
The original retail Core 2 Duos were CPUID 6F6 (B2 stepping) and the retail QX6700 was a B3 stepping with a CPUID of 6F7. Your CPU has a CPUID of 6F5 (B1 stepping) so it's definitely an early Quad. http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SL9UL There is a program called i7 Turbo in the RealTemp 3.30 RC11 download. How many cores does it show for your CPU? I'm trying to decide if this is a unicode problem or something else.
My original post was moderated for no reason, I expect this one to hopefully get through, Otherwise We're through.

How to Find NA?
Finding an NA meeting to attend will depend on where you live. In all the larger cities in New Zealand NA holds at least one and sometime two or three meetings a day. In smaller towns and rural areas there are fewer meetings and people will travel to the meetings.
On this site you can look at the meetings list, which is organised geographically from north to south. Once you decide which meeting you want to attend your can look up the street address on a site like smaps - most of the listings on the meetings list page have a link with this information.
If you are attending your first meeting you can get in touch with us from the contact page or call 0800 628 632 (from a land line). We can then arrange for a member to contact you and come to a meeting with you. If you arrive a few minutes before the meeting is due to start there will be other people arriving, making it easier to find the room the meeting is held in.

text: Making Sense of Your Calcium ScoreThe higher your calcium score, the greater your heart attack risk.By Arthur Agatston, MD, Everyday Health heart expertWhen you have a heart scan, you are given an overall number called the Calcium Score, or Agatston Score, which represents the total amount of plaque in your coronary arteries. The number can range from 0 to 1,000 or more. The higher your number, the more plaque you have in your arteries and the greater your risk. If your score is more than 400, for example, you have an increased likelihood of developing symptomatic heart disease — angina, heart attack, or even sudden death — in the next 2 to 5 years. If your score is more than 1,000, you have a 25 percent chance of having a heart attack within a year without interventionCalcium Score for a 55-Year-OldMan or WomanRelative Amount of Plaque 0–10 Minimal 11–100 Moderate 101–400 Increased 401+ Extensive Keep in mind that there's no absolute way to predict who is going to have a heart attack, but your Calcium Score is an excellent way of predicting the likelihood of it happening to you. Of course, when you are trying to predict the future, you must consider other variables beyond your Calcium Score. For example, if you smoke, a low Calcium Score will not protect you. Smokers tend to have very sticky blood. This can result in a much larger blood clot developing after a plaque rupture than would develop in a nonsmoker. On the other hand, someone with a moderately high Calcium Score can forestall a heart attack indefinitely — or even prevent one entirely — simply by controlling risk factors. And even if your Calcium Score indicates a high likelihood for a heart attack in the near future, if you begin an aggressive prevention program immediately, your level of risk can sharply decline within months.

Azucena Carmenere 2012 750ml$10.54
Azucena Carmenere 2012
- Chile
Carmenere varietal grapes have plenty to offer the world of fine, complex red wines. Their beautiful blue fruits hold plenty of fleshy juice, which produces gorgeously dark red wines packed full of interesting flavors In their native France, Carmenere has the prestigious honor of being amongst the few grape varietals allowed by French law for the inclusion in blended Bordeaux wines, often argued to be the finest to be found anywhere in the world. In other countries, particularly in the New World, Carmenere is still mainly used as a blending varietal, as it adds plenty of unique flavors to the wines it is included in. These often include big, powerful and unusual flavors such as tobacco, chocolate and leather, with the younger wines holding plenty of rich, intense cherry character which can come through beautifully in single variety bottles.
Chile has a long and rich wine history which dates back to the Spanish conquistadors of the 16th century, who were the first to discover that the wonderful climate and fertile soils of this South American country were ideal for vine cultivation. It has only been in the past forty or fifty years, however, that Chile as a modern wine producing nation has really had an impact on the rest of the world. Generally relatively cheap in price,Whilst being widely regarded as definitively 'New World' as a wine producing country, Chile has actually been cultivating grapevines for wine production for over five hundred years. The Iberian conquistadors first introduced vines to Chile with which to make sacramental wines, and although these were considerably different in everything from flavor, aroma and character to the wines we associate with Chile today, the country has a long and interesting heritage when it comes to this drink. Chilean wine production as we know it first arose in the country in the mid to late 19th century, when wealthy landowners and industrialists first began planting vineyards as a way of adopting some European class and style. They quickly discovered that the hot climate, sloping mountainsides and oceanic winds provided a perfect terroir for quality wines, and many of these original estates remain today in all their grandeur and beauty, still producing the wines which made the country famous.

Interview Details
1. Online Application - 10/24/2013
2. Interview Invitation via Email from HR followed by HireVue - 10/28/2013
3. Digital Interview - 10/30/2013 - 50 min
Interview Question –
Four Interview Questions
1. Multiple Choice - Choose a location to work. (3 min)
2. Video - Use an example to explain the lifecycle of HTTP request & response. (3 min)
3. Essay - Programming (40 min)
Most people have adopted the decimal number system which has ten symbols (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). There are other number systems like binary, hex and octal. Your job is to convert a hex number into a musical number. What is a musical number you might ask? It's something we invented. Keep reading.
The Hex alphabet contains 16 symbols: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,b,c,d,e,f
The Musical alphabet contains 12 symbols: A,A#,B,C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G# (# is pronounced 'sharp' so 'A#' is pronounced 'A-sharp', 'C#' is 'C-sharp' and so on)
Your program should validate input (make sure input is a hex number i.e. it is in base-16) and convert it to a number represented by the musical alphabet (base-12). Your program should output the musical number OR an error string "Input is not valid Hex" if the input is not valid hex.
Sample inputs & outputs:
Input:9, Output:F#
Input:dead, Output:BFG#GD
Input:feedface, Output:F#G#C#C#C#A#AA#B

Reason for Declining – Better offer and better work place
No Offer
Negative Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Dow Jones.
Interview Details
No offer, but decided to decline anyway even if made an offer. Heres why:
Disorganized. Inability to make decisions. Fails to keep candidates updated on status. Acknowledged morale in in the toilet. These are big turn-offs. All of the negative reviews about this place should have been a sign but its good to practice your interviewing skills. Initial phone interview, then asked to go for on-site in NYC, to be changed to on-site in NJ. After the NJ interview, told it would be follow up phone interview, then told another on-site but with a different person, then that changed to on-site with 2 people. 2 weeks pass - told no update. Then, they just ignore your emails. The time from interview to being told of their decision was more than 2 months. If their indecisiveness in the hiring process is any indication of their business model, this would explain why their products (maybe except for WSJ), are not taken seriously and can't compete in the marketplace. Multiple thumbs down.
Interview Question – None - had more experience than most of the interviewers. Answer Question
No Offer
Neutral Experience
Very Difficult Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Dow Jones.
Interview Details Contacted by email first, exchanged with a few emails, took an online interview where coding test played the majority role. The questions were very difficult for non-top-coders. Completed the first question with great difficulty, then failed at the second one. It should be a genuine position for professional programmers and I have a lot of respect for that.

Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Dow Jones in September 2013.
Interview Details Very nice - I was interviewed by two interviewers who asked me technical questions (I studied up on finance before it but they only asked technical questions) They asked me to go through my resume and asked about a few things and I gave them a demo of some of the sites I worked on. They asked me a few pretty simple algorithm questions - how to find the missing number in a consecutive sequence missing one number. The algorithms were very simple and I thought they were a bit easily impressed. They also asked a few non-algorithmic programming question which I did not know but it was easy to talk myself out of it. Great interview overall - they make you feel comfortable and valued.
Interview Question – How does instant chat work? How is it implemented? View Answer
Reason for Declining – I have not decided yet actually. waiting to hear back form a few other places
Accepted Offer
Positive Experience
Easy Interview
I applied online and the process took 2+ weeks - interviewed at Dow Jones in September 2013.
Interview Details Phone interview with US, face to face interview with local manager and manager from UK.
Interview Question – I do not recall any difficult or funny question Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I asked for a number within a min - max range and was given the mid value in between.
Pros: People are smart and work hard. They collaborate and are willing to take risks. Readers set a high standard for Dow Jones, and the work has been challenging and fun. The benefits are good too. – Full Review

Sir Winston Churchill Pub Restaurant Review: The Winston Churchill Complex along the bustling Rue Crescent strip of downtown Montreal is three separate establishments strung together across three floors. More pub than restaurant, the place houses a trio of immense bars, large wall screens and a terrace that is partially enclosed in winter. The ambience lacks the familiar feeling that so many pubs attempt to capture. Drink specials abound. The staff appears young, trendy and more at ease behind a bar than waiting tables. They are, nonetheless, friendly and generally knowledgeable. The menu is fairly varied, offering sandwiches, clam chowder, fish 'n' chips and the expected pub fare. The food quality is, unfortunately, lacking. Dishes are more an afterthought, or a sponge for alcohol, than anything else. Portions, at least, are generous. |

Marsalis Music Honors Bob French
Date: 09.01.2007
Publication: Traps Magazine
Author: Robert L. Doerschuk
One of the many great things about New Orleans is its aversion to making judgments, either about idiosyncrasies or the music of its citizens. Boundaries between styles exist and are acknowledged, but musicians cross these lines freely, depending on the gig. And if they bear any condescension toward what they're playing, they leave that at home. Like most of his compatriots, Bob French has lived in this way, playing drums in pretty much every style before finding a home base in traditional New Orleans jazz. On this set he leads a stellar band, whose members include Branford Marsalis on sax and Harry Connick Jr. on keys, all of them united in their fidelity to the nuances of this music. The repertoire is all about the city- "Bourbon Street Parade," "Basin Street Blues," "Way Down Yonder In New Orleans"- and the performances hang on the loose, ambling groove that French lays down. Appropriate to the style, he saves the backbeat for big finishes or shout choruses, punches accents on the kick, changes the details of the beat with each section of the tune, plays stately rolls on ballads and blues, and pours soul through the music like remoulade on blackened fish.

There is a quote about machine translation that I thought was famous but I'm having trouble pinning down just who said it and when, and what the exact wording was. Here is one version:
"Every time I fire a linguist my system improves"
Also I was sure I'd read recently that this person has been hired by Google to develop Google Translate but I can't find any reference to it now when I look - is that true?
The best I can find is that it was somebody called Eduard Hovy but there is no Wikipedia article on such a person and I can't find much linking this name to Google.

2009 Vacation, Sep 04, 2009 |
reviewer: L Pan
from Washington, DC |
Course has been allowed to age. On a couple of the holes on the back nine the fairways were hard and the tee boxes all over need work. Cart paths are in bad shape. Greens are good to excellent. Staff was very friendly and accomodated me getting out early. Course has good potential and cost was good. |

The tree lined holes gives you all the trouble you could want. With the extra added bonus of water and hills. There is an excelent 146 yard par three like none other. A par six that John Daly could not reach in three. A must visit if for no other reason than the breathtaking views |

The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 is the biggest notebook in the Edge family that also includes 13 and 14-inch models. The Edge series is known for its stylish looks that set it apart from other models in the ThinkPad series as well as its chiclet style keyboard. In this review, we see if the ThinkPad Edge 15 holds up as well in our testing as the two previous models.
Readers who pay a close attention to detail will notice that the ThinkPad Edge 15 has a lot in common with both the Edge 13 and Edge 14. Some parts of this review are reused for areas with identical components.
Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 Specifications:
Build and Design
The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 is a lower-cost consumer and small-business oriented laptop. Unlike the SL-series ThinkPad the Edge models don't share the common look and feel of other ThinkPad models. The all-black exterior has been replaced with a silver-trimmed border with multiple glossy and matte screen cover options. Our Edge 15 review unit included the glossy Heatwave red screen cover. I think an overlooked design touch would have been changing the ThinkPad logo from silver to black on this model to better contrast against the red background. Lenovo matched the letter background to the lid cover, but it has the same effect as over saturating a picture and losing distinction between the silver logo and red background.
Another change is an LED-illuminated ThinkPad logo with the dot above the "i" glowing red when the notebook is turned on. This replaces all other activity indication lights, which might be problematic if you expect to see hard disk activity or visual indications of the wireless interface being active. Inside the Edge, there is a consumer-focused design with a flat palmrest and bezel set around a Chiclet-style keyboard. While the Edge series includes a touchpad and pointing stick interface, it doesn't have the same contoured ergonomic sections around those items that you might find on other ThinkPads.
The Edge 15's build quality seems to be a step down from the 13 and 14-inch versions. While the Edge series in general feels under built when compared to higher ThinkPad models, the Edge 15 fares much worse. The right side of the palmrest has a moderate amount of flex under strong pressure. The structural support needed for the span across the optical drive bay is inadequate, which shows when you grip the notebook by that area. Pressing the keyboard there - even with a light press - causes the keyboard tray to flex inward. This is unacceptable on any notebook, but on a ThinkPad model, it seems even worse. The smaller Edge 13 and 14 maintained their rigidity since the open spans were smaller than they are on the 15-inch model.
The ThinkPad Edge 15 has easy access to internal components through two access panels on the bottom of the notebook. One panel houses the SIM-card and WWAN PCIe slot while the other is to access the system memory, CPU and hard drive. Most ThinkPad models include a SIM-card slot and extra mini-PCIe slot even if the systems aren't configured with it from the factory. Like the Edge 14, the Edge 15 doesn't have those parts soldered to the board. The larger panel gives you full access to the processor, heatsink and fan, memory slots and hard drive bay. Our review unit was configured with 2 GB of memory using a single memory slot, which allowed one slot to remain open for cheaper future upgrades.
Screen and Speakers
The Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 15 has a matte-finish 15-inch WXGA panel. Compared to other 15-inch panels on the market, this one rates below average with very poor contrast. Black levels were closer to light grey, which caused a domino effect, muting most vivid colors like red, orange, green or blue. We also noticed a "screen door effect" where individual pixels appeared visible at normal viewing distances. At full screen brightness, the center of the screen measured 225 nit with corners measuring between 160-180 nit. Viewing angles were average with colors starting to invert or wash out after 15 degrees when tilted forward or back.
The Edge 15 has thin speakers incorporated into the screen bezel beneath the LCD. Compared to most speaker drivers, they are fairly small and don't produce the best audio. Compared to consumer notebooks, they would rate below average, but against other business notebooks - which Lenovo is positioning it against - they are average. Sound quality would be fine for video conferencing using the built-in webcam or listening to streaming music or video throughout the workday. The notebook also features HDMI out, which is beneficial for connecting the system to a home theater to watch movies or listen to music.
Keyboard and Touchpad
When I first saw the leaked images of the new ThinkPad keyboard, I have to admit I was unimpressed. The keyboard is among the few remaining original parts of ThinkPad notebooks. The layout has been updated over the years, but the keyboard could always be identified as "ThinkPad." With the new design, Lenovo took a hint from other new keyboard designs hitting the market and blended a combination of form and function.
The keyboard takes a Chiclet/island-style that's common on notebooks ranging from the latest netbooks to the newest Apple MacBook, and merges it with a traditional ThinkPad design. What makes the keyboard unique is that it's the first Chiclet keyboard I have found that's very comfortable and easy to type on. Most Chiclet-style keyboards have flat top keys, different spacing and a shallower throw than a normal keyboard. The ThinkPad Edge 15 doesn't have these problems, creating an ideal hybrid keyboard that I can easily say is among the best implementations I have used to date. The keys have a shallow concave shape that cups your fingers and quickly centers them. For touch-typing the keyboard layout is excellent and is easily adaptable.
Typing pressure and feedback is similar to a typical ThinkPad keyboard, so similar in fact that if you type with your eyes closed, you might not even realize the key shape changed. Throw distance seems to be identical to my T60 with the same type of click sound made when fully pressed. Removing the keytops reveal the familiar scissor-action found in traditional ThinkPad keyboards. My best guess would be Lenovo kept the original frame and action assembly, only updating the keytops and adding an internal bezel structure. The keyboard on the Edge 13 and Edge 14 has excellent support with little flex, but on the Edge 15, has considerable flex even under light to moderate pressure. It had the most flex on the right side of the keyboard above the optical drive.
The Edge 15 offers a generously-sized Synaptics touchpad, having nearly three times the surface area compared to my T60. If you regularly use smaller touchpads, you might have a bit of a learning curve before it becomes second nature. During the first couple of days, I would frequently touch the bottom of the touchpad surface instead of clicking the left or right buttons, which would move the cursor off target. It was annoying until I adapted to its size. Overall, the touchpad was pleasant to use, with a fast response time and no discernable lag. Sensitivity was excellent and no adjustment was needed out of the box. This particular touchpad has some multitouch capabilities, including pinch-to-zoom and pivot-rotation. After extended use, I didn't have any problems with the touchpad texture; its smooth matte finish was easy to glide across with dry or slightly damp fingers. The touchpad buttons seem to have a slightly shallower clicking motion compared to other ThinkPads, but still provided good feedback.
Ports and Features
Compared to the Edge 13, the Edge 15 has additional ports and a spring-loaded SDHC-card reader. The Edge 15 gains eSATA through a combo port that includes three USB ports and one eSATA/USB connection. The larger Edge models also offer an ExpressCard/34 slot for future expansion and an optical drive, making use of their larger chassis.
One aspect of the clean design I disliked on the Edge 15 is its lack of both hard drive indicator and wireless activity lights. Compared to other notebooks, this setup prevents you from seeing if wireless cards are currently powered on, which is handy if you have multiple wireless devices like Bluetooth and WWAN or if some activity is really tasking your hard drive.

Some interesting news from Toshihiro Nagoshi, the creative mind behind the Yakuza series, that Yakuza 5 would be the last version to hit the PlayStation 3; all but confirming that this would be the start of the PlayStation 4′s life cycle. While we all know about the big February 20th reveal that is seemingly confirmed to be the PlayStation 4 event, Nagoshi may have dropped some news in the interview that Sony may have wanted to keep under wraps.
In his interview with Dengeki PlayStation – via Gematsu (translation) – a Japanese magazine, Nagoshi confirmed that this would indeed be the last Yakuza on the PS3, but also attested to the fact that the next Yakuza will be a more "physical experience". While he may not have brought the drawings with him, many fans had hoped that the last attempt by Sony to integrate a motion-controller to the next PlayStation would be just that, its last.
Instead, Nagoshi's claim that the game would be a more physical experience lends credit to the drawings and blueprints of a PlayStation controller like the ones we have seen with the Move-like glowing balls atop what is presumably the DualShock 4. What it also lends credit to is the fact that these will likely have the ability to strap onto your ankles or feet and allow your legs to be a part of the experience, much like Microsoft's XBOX Kinect.
This could of course mean that Sony is choosing to go to a controller-less experience like the Kinect to allow gamers to play games with their full body and have nothing attached, unwiring them from the experience. As state before it looks as though gamers will have another gripe when it comes to the next set of systems, from the possibility of no used games to forcing another motion controller to attempt a more wide appeal. Seems as though the next generation of consoles are losing their appeal to the most important market of all, before they are even revealed.
What do you think about the comments made about the physical experience? Are you more frustrated by each passing rumor or are you just as excited as you were about the next generation? Sound off and let us know in the comments below!

"Where did you get your glasses? They are so cute!" I get asked this pretty much every time I wear them. I actually got them from eBay. The seller is TheStore4You08. I was very please with the seller. Fast Shipment, No Hassle and was shipped in a hard box. The down side is the glasses do not come with a case. I have to get one on my own.
If you wear prescription lens like I do you will have to speak to a Lens Technician. A Lens Tech will be able to tell you if they can place prescription lens in them. If one tells you no (because that happen to me) visit another place. The one place that did say they could take them was Lens Crafters.

My life [annotated]
Always interrupting [did I ever tell you about...] my own stories
Showing posts tagged craziness
Episode 64: Ruthie and Esi deal with a strange man (again)
So i made a personal promise to the wonderful Ruthie Chen that I would be more vigilant about documented the many ridiculous situations I find myself in, and last night was yet another comedic scene from the movie that is my life.
The scene starts with me and Ruthie sitting at a table last night at Cafe Asia when an older gentleman approached us.
Wait, before I start this story, may I just relay an interesting exchange I heard last night?
Guy: What's your name?
Ruthie: Ruthie
Guy: As in the date rape drug?
Ruthie: No, Ru-THIE
Esi: What?! Why would you say that to someone?! Besides who names their kid Roofie? **Bonus points to anyone who remembers what GOB calls roofies on Arrested Development**
Ruthie: Yea, I get that all the time
Alright, personally that sounds pretty terrible to me. Ruthie, how can people seriously think your name is Roofie? and if they don't seriously think that, why would they joke about it? Anyways, I'm pretty sure Ruthie thought nothing of the exchange, I on the other hand, am confused and find it pretty incomprehensible. Perhaps its the thought of comparing my dear, fashion forward friend with a drug used to make people forget things, so you can take advantage of them…
/end rant
Ok now on to the real story. If this was a tv show, that would have been the cold open. So now the opening credits have played and it's on to the meat of the show.
So we're sitting at the table and the man comes up to us and asks me where I'm from. I tell him my family is from Ghana but that I live in MD (I never know how to quite answer these questions). Ok so this whole time he is still awkwardly holding my hand from when we shook hands. I try to sneak my hand back and I'm unsuccessful. He tells us he is a math professor at Howard University, and then turns to Ruthie and proceeds to tell her about a Chinese colleague of his. I'm guessing he assumed Ruthie was Chinese (which she is) but still, what if she was Korean? Besides, just because you're the same nationality as someone doesn't mean you care to hear stories about them.
The next several minutes were full of him mumbling things to us while we tried to ignore him and decide on what to order. Then, he pulled out his wallet to give us money so we could go buy a drink At one point he fell off of his stool so we had to help him get up, which must have been pretty embarrassing for him. He kept grabbing my hand and trying to talk to me, while Ruthie and I tried to ignore him. Eventually, our friend Lee came and we thought we would be done with this guy.
Unfortunately, he kept trying to talk to us until the people who worked there told him he couldn't sit at our table because it was reserved for a party (our alumni happy hour). Then he looks at me and says: "Parties, who cares about parties. They're stupid. Do you like parties?" I awkwardly just stared at him and tried to figure out how to respond. Luckily, a woman who worked there came over again and escorted him out. Thank God. But honestly, why does this type of thing happen to Ruthie and I?
update: I saw this same man when I was getting lunch about 2 weeks later. Thankfully, he did not recognize me.

THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I bought a Kimber 10 days ago and wanted to remove the sights to get the series II safety out and found that beating on them was of no use. They are apparently press fit into the pistol. So I had to try to find a cheap sight pusher and came across this tool. If you have a similar problem follow the link to a video review. |

The Sight tool works absolutely awesome IMO. If I want to make a minor adjustment I snug the nut by hand and then make a 1/8 turn of the wrench or so and it seems to work very well. The major benefit here is that this isn't model specific so you don't need one specific to Glock or 1911's. That means spending less money. |

Thanks for sharing. |
Posted: 3/8/2012 5:43:16 PM
Nice tool, reasonable price.
Posted: 3/11/2012 2:59:41 PM
Tag for interest and future purchase.
I've read somewhere before to use model specific sight pushers to avoid cracking the slide. What's the scoop on this, before I spend any money (on tools or repairs)? |
Posted: 3/20/2012 11:17:05 AM
Scratching the slide finish is a greater concern. Masking tape or strips of cardboard from an ammunition box/business cards etc will help there.
If you have a delicate front sight to push that requires you push the sight blade, I found a feeler guage inserted between the square tube frame and pusher component limited the slight cant of the pusher for those tasks. I really doubt you could crack a slide with this tool. I think scratching is the major concern. |
Posted: 9/11/2012 11:08:37 AM
I just ordered one today
I hope he ships it fast, I have some Ameriglo sights for my G17 I want to install |
Posted: 11/27/2012 9:20:00 AM
Hello, I am not sure if anyone did any kind of review on the sight pusher tool or now, I purchased it and used it to change out my sights a few weeks ago. The guy was nice enough as he offered me a .mil discount.
This will be just a mini review as I have never really done a review on a forum for anyone. Dislikes There are a few things I liked and disliked about the set up. For dislike was that he sent me the extra XD blocks so I could change the sight on my m&p, but one block was scored but uncut so I would not have enough room to put my slide into the device. I sent him an email (which he responded fast) and he sent me a new set of blocks. Only prob is even with the new blocks my slide still could not fit into the device (front part of the slide, the aft sights fit and came out easy.) so I ended up cutting the block down and then I could fit the slide. HOWEVER I might have been able to fit my slide in all the way but I had some tape and really thin rubber to keep my slide from marring. Another issue I had was more of a personal issue, if you have a vice to clamp this thing into it works much better, if you do not well you need three hands to juggle with because you have to hold the slide, hold the clamp block to keep it from spinning and then ratchet the sight pusher part as well. Again more of a personal prob, I had a friend hold the sightpusher tool for me, next time I will be using a vice. Likes Well the price is right, it is very easy to ratchet the sights off the slide, once you have everything prepped (taping up stuff you dont want scratched) then its just a matter of setting the base of your sight up to the blade, tightening your block clamps and pushing them off. The front sights are suppose to be very hard to remove on a m&p, but with this tool I didnt really notice an issue at all. just make sure that the slide doesnt move on you and your good to go, installing a sight is even easier. Would I recommend this or use it again, Id say yes, beats the hell out of using a punch and hammer, I had no issue with marring and the first shot I took from the pistol was dead bulls. This is the first time I have ever changed sights on a pistol, and it was fairly easy, If you have some mechanical sense that you will be alright. |

White Like Me, Stealing My Teenage Death Poetry & Poem
White Like Me
"Milkhead." Moonskins and clears. Always liked Clorox.
Sharpton-negatives. Cocaine-white sugar-whipped cream-Irish butt-cumulus cloud face. "Gabacho" just rolls off the tongue—the "ass" is implied, no?
Powder blank pages. "White people"—with an appropriate touch of ice, acid and annoyance. Whitey McWhitester? Kansas. Mouse. Honkubine Pimples.
Whatever happened to Gringo? Southern fried pimpin'. Ivory League. Schmoo(s). Straight outta the Upper East Side. Vacuous, self-entitled, puritanical, scarlet letter-bearing sinners.
Pillow case. Bruncher. Nilla. Pigmentally-challenged Mayonnaisian.
Shatners. Blanco Bill. Bradies. Boss.
I got a lot of "chalky" tossed at me. Teeth-white out-fancy couch that kids don't sit on-head? Pinkskins. Liquid Paper. #FFFFFF. Milky.
The Manson clan used the simple "whitey," but that was because that's all they could remember. Snowflake. Cracker. Nosferatu-ites. What's up with it, vanilla face? Bleachies, incandescents and fish bellies.
Hillbilly. Kook. Saltine slack-jaw yakoo. Honky-honky and dead honky. Lattes. Also— "Hipster." Wipes.
Charmin hockey players? All Presidents So Far. I've always appreciated "larvae." Wonder Bread and meringue Caspers. Polar CareBears. Sports socks. Neds.
Stealing My Teenage Death Poetry
I don't know why, exactly, but something inspired me to search for the first line of one of my oldest, most horribly written poems that I put up on the Internet when I was 15 (I wrote it when I was 13).
It was gothic teenage death poetry. Bad gothic teenage death poetry. You know, the ones that say, when translated out of all the gothic language, "Oh, woe is me, I am going to kill myself, because nobody understands me, and I am dead anyway." They use darkness and death a lot. Yeah. Those teenage death poems.
No, don't bother looking; it is not anywhere on this site, nor will it ever be.
I found this poem on FOUR SITES. Only one of those sites had actually credited it to my Internet name. All of the other sites were homepages where the author claimed it as her own. One girl even used that poem as the splash page, the entry page to her entire site. All of them had little copyright notices on it, saying that they wrote it and if anyone stole it they would sue that person. One girl even had several sentences at the bottom about how mean it would be for someone to steal it.
This amused me for two reasons.
One: All of these girls were sooo self-righteous and indignant about copyright when they themselves were stealing my poem and putting their names on it.
Two: That poem is quite possibly the worst poem that I have ever written.
Once you accept the fact that people are their biographies
you can pretty much skip around. For instance,
suppose poet X will write a poem that will kick your own poetry's
ass on one of the pages of the future. Bad luck
for you, right? Wrong. B/c you will have read about it before
it has even happened, can in fact STEAL the ass-kicking poem
for yourself! Sure, it will be an empty victory, knowing
as you do that X wrote the ass-kicking poem, and not you.
But, at least it won't be your ass being kicked!
