just wondered if anyone could suggest a 'first ever' laptop for my girls birthday.... if i stick to £350 budget am i asking for trouble or should it do the job, ie, web cam, homework, sims and the like? should i go for 2G memory, i am a bit in the dark shall we say!! thanks
i think £350 is a good price for a normal laptop for anyone thats just using it for socialising. This is a great laptop for the money: It meets all your requirements,2GB should be enough for just general usage if not you can always buy extra ram so you have 4GB. Also its a dual core and it has one of the best intergrated graphics chip for laptops so she can probably enjoy playing maybe sims 3 on it. The laptop looks lovely too but not a girls colour but hey its a laptop best bang of the buck i have seen so far. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/179694
She will out grow the netbook in a year for sure. I would buy a laptop that will get her threw 3 years C2D/ 250GB at least/ 3GB ram at least/.
exactly what i mean i can't see any possibility a netbook running sims 3 at a steady frame rate. @DRDNA the laptop i recommend is perfect choice.
The suggestion you made has crappy integrated graphics. I will admit I have no suggestion otherwise since I don't shop in overpriced overseas distributors though. I just think Sims 3 might be a high bar for the price range.
Yeah and thats why kids plus a webcam equals trouble on the internet sometimes. I have heard from my GF's little sister that girls do things they shouldn't over webcam at early ages if you know what I mean. They really regret it later.
crappy??? this intergrated graphics chip is almost as good as a dedicated laptop graphics chip. It can play Left 4 Dead@1280x800 with medium settings no AA and get 40+fps. It can also play Killing Floor@1280x800 at high settings and get over 40FPS and thats something thats pretty good for a intergrated. It played Battlefield 2 at 1024x768 with high settings smoothly at high settings. It plays Counter Strike Source at 1280x800 at medium-high settings and get 40+fps. And thats coming from experience since my laptop has that intergrated graphics card. So i disagree with you about the ATI HD3200 being rubbish.
well thanks for all the replies, i live in N.Ireland, would you believe me if i told you all that i have made my daughter wait 12 to 18 months longer than all,yes all, of her friends, i agree that there is no need for kids to have laptops, but she is studious, intelligent and has been made aware many times of the perils of the computer, i wil have access to laptop at any time and any of her passwords will be given on demand to me to check material and she is fully aware of this, lastly, she knows that i will enter her room at any given time whilst she is using laptop..... she accepts these things( probably unwillingly!!) she certainly needs access to a computer as do i and my wife and my son, so one pc in the house is a strain. ps. this sims3 sounds like a real bind for a computer from what you guys are saying??
+1 to Kurosagi. 3200 is not as weak as any integrated gfx card. Granted, its not powerful, but its still one of the best integrated options. booner, if you can speak to her, then ask her whether she is fine with a weaker system that will cost a lot less.
the HP compaq will do all her needs perfectly she probably won't need to get another machine for good 2 years or more since it do all her general needs. Not to mention maybe if she does some light gaming and some bit of media work,webcam be good too with that intergrated,like hell its better than crappy intel accelerators by far. I strongly recommend going for the laptop i posted its bang for the buck.
yea i def second the no webcam thing. The only reason i could think a webcam is useful is presentations or something with a job, having a bf/gf in a long distance relationship. But at 12 neither of those is relevant. Go with the laptop, netbooks are poop for longevity right now, that lappy will last alot longer.
I always use TESCO for my laptops believe it or not. They sell some nice ACERs at good prices.....or you could get her a Netbook for £200
I agree with kurosagi01's suggestion. From that store it's by far the best choice. I'm just going to throw another option from the same store: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172295 The Acer Ferrari One. This one is a bit more expensive and less performant (the HD3200 IGP is underclocked and the dual-core CPU is only @ 1.2GHz). However it's a 11,6" ultra-thin laptop. It's a lot smaller and lighter, which could be more suited for a 12 year old girl. The vibrant red colour should also make it more likeable than a black one, for a child. Plus, the battery life is quite decent (around 3.5 - 4 hours) and it's still a lot faster than any Atom netbook. I found another alternative, but it's only £345 for the next 2 days: http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/4459130/art/compaq/presario-cq61-416sa.html Although the specs are similar from kurosagi01's suggestion, this laptop has a new, Phenom II based cpu which should be a bit faster and provide more battery life. It also has a slightly faster and newer IGP from AMD, the HD4200.
I used the HD 3200 shortly after launch and it is designed for HD video but it is not good for gaming. It does great compared to basic Intel integrated graphics found in outdated chipsets though. HD 3200 scales with what CPU it is coupled with to a point, but it is hardly a gaming chipset. It can run Sims 3 fine at low resolution and is low power consumption but its hardly a gaming chipset. Saying it is "almost as good as a dedicated laptop graphics chip" is very subjective. I said it was crappy integrated graphics because by gaming standards of this website it is. Just trying to explain where I am coming from. uk2online might agree with you on those awesome low end cards though. BTW I agree its probably the best option he has in that price range, I just wish there was something better in that range for him to choose from. Laptop GPU's are ridiculously expensive for such weak specs thanks to the temperature and power consumption requirements of the mobile market.

In Brief
- Freezing under stress, a common experience for all of us at some point in our life, has its roots in a loss of control over "executive functions" that allow us to control our emotions.
- Prefrontal cortical areas, which serve as the brain's executive command centers, normally hold our emotions in check by sending signals to tone down activity in primitive brain systems.
- Under even everyday stresses, the prefrontal cortex can shut down, allowing the amygdala, a locus for regulating emotional activity, to take over, inducing mental paralysis and panic.
- Researchers are probing further the physiology of acute stress and are considering behavioral and pharmaceutical interventions to help us retain composure when the going gets tough.

A Periodic Stress Meter
The entrance exam to medical school consists of a five-hour fusillade of hundreds of questions that, even with the best preparation, often leaves the test taker discombobulated and anxious. For some would-be physicians, the relentless pressure causes their reasoning abilities to slow and even shut down entirely. The experience—known variously as choking, brain freeze, nerves, jitters, folding, blanking out, the yips or a dozen other descriptive terms—is all too familiar to virtually anyone who has flubbed a speech, bumped up against writer's block or struggled through a lengthy exam.
For decades scientists thought they understood what happens in the brain during testing or a battlefront firefight. In recent years a different line of research has put the physiology of stress in an entirely new perspective. The response to stress is not just a primal reaction affecting parts of the brain that are common to a wide array of species ranging from salamanders to humans. Stress, in fact, can cripple our most advanced mental faculties, the areas of the brain most developed in primates.

Konami's expecting a lot out of PES 2010, announcing that the title will include the biggest set of new features in franchise history, with every aspect of the game getting a boost from the many improvements. The result - the most challenging, realistic and satisfying PES experience to date, or so their press release says.
Soccer games are a hell lot of fun and really don't need much umph in the system to be enjoyable. At the same time, there's little room for extra tweaks in the gameplay, as compared to other sports games, which is sad, considering this is the world's pastime.
There's quite a heavy list of features for the game, so you might as well follow the full article and read up. No word on release date, but this one's coming out to all active PlayStation platforms (PS3, PSP, PS2) and the Xbox 360.

Rapper, actress and host set to launch new syndicated talk show in 2013
The recently announced deal was driven by Latifah's Flavor Unit co-founder Shakim Compere and Overbrook's Miguel Melendez, who will serve as executive producers of the upcoming syndicated talker, along with Latifah and Overbrook's James Lassiter, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Bing:More about Queen Latifah
"Here at Overbrook, we have known and admired Latifah for over twenty years: dating back to our music days, to her first television role on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' and years later when she worked with Jada on the film 'Set it Off," Melendez said. "This forum is the perfect place to showcase Latifah's tremendous range of talents & unique ability to connect & inspire people."
Latifah is one of many names trying to "connect" with Oprah Winfrey's former daytime fan base. She'll find the daytime market quite congested when she arrives, unless new and up and upcoming talkers like "Anderson," "The Chew," "Dr. Drew's LifeChangers," "The Revolution," "Steve Harvey" and "Katie" have already failed by the time she kicks off in 2013.
Like Katie Couric, Latifah does have and advantage over the competition: This isn't her first run as a daytime hosts. Her syndicated talker "The Queen Latifah Show" ran from September 1999 until August 2001 and welcomed some of the biggest names in hip hop, while also taking on every day issues. Here's a look back at a clip about racial profiling.
If Ava's watching Amy, who's watching Ava?
Ava ... babysits?
When Reagan (Christina Applegate) and Chris (Will Arnett) have a romantic night away to reignite the spark in their relationship, who steps in for baby duty with Amy? That's right. It's Reagan's boss, Ava (Maya Rudolph), who ends up connecting with a single dad (guest star Jason Lee) along the way. Catch this new episode on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
Bing: More about "Up All Night"
In the meantime, watch as Reagan tries to convince Chris that leaving Ava in charge is a good idea ... on their first night away from baby Amy. What do you think?
"Up All Night" airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
Kris Jenner visits talkers to plead her daughter's case and hawk her new book
Bing: Watch more clips and full episodes "Today"
Kris Jenner made the rounds in daytime Wednesday, Nov. 2, to promote her book "Kris Jenner ... And All Things Kardashian," but it was all about Kim and Kris' 72 days of marriage and divorce.
On "The View," Mama Kardashian went so far as to say she wasn't there to talk about her daughter, but then went ahead and did so, even tearing up as she opened up to Barbara Walters and her co-hosts about how hard it was to go through this drama is such a public space (as she was promoting her book!).
Bing: Watch clips and full episodes of "The View"
"It's a tough time for the family and for Kim and for everyone involved," she said. "It's really hard to go through this on such a public stage."
When Joy Behar asked about the blender she sent Kim and Kris as a wedding gift, Jenner laughed it off. She also sidestepped talking about the infamous engagement ring, but she did answer the big money question.
Jenner admitted there was a lot of wedding-related money coming in for the clan, especially for the E! wedding special, but reminded the hosts of how lavish the affair was. She was also quick to remind viewers that just because you see a number or factoid in print or online, doesn't mean it's true.
"Kim definitely made money [but] when it was all said and done, Kim had to pay a lot of money," Jenner told them. "The money that she made went to the wedding. She still owed money to make her fairy tale dream come true.
"Did they net or gross any amount of money?" Jenner added. "Absolutely not."
On "Today" (interview posted above), however, Jenner caught herself as she was saying "we" didn't profit from the fairy tale wedding and pics, saying instead that "they" didn't profit. Hmm...
Jenner kept her cool during her visit to the NBC talker, sharing some of the same sounds bites about the money and her support of and advice to her daughter. She also spoke to the backlash over the breakup.
"It makes me feel sad that some people are reacting that way," Jenner told "Today." "Certainly wasn't a sham. Certainly wasn't for TV. We have enough going on on our show that we don't have to make things up. She felt she was in love with him. It was an amazing time... I had no idea there was a problem, at the time. It saddens all of us."
Kim, herself, is set to visit to "The View" on Wednesday, Nov. 16, along with sisters Kourtney and Kimberly. The girls will presumably be promoting the newest Kardashian spin off, "Kourtney and Kim Take New York."
MSN TV hopes they stick to talking about that, or anything but the wedding disaster. Thus far, the media blitz seems to support allegations that, whether or not the Kardashian/Humphries marriage and breakup were a scam, the announcement was timed for Jenner's promotional tour and, well, it's enough already.
"The View" airs weekdays on ABC. "Today" airs weekdays on NBC.
Kelly Ripa's search for a new co-host is about to get serious
Since news broke that Regis Philbin was leaving "Live! With Regis and Kelly," there has been plenty of speculation about who will replace him, but the time for speculation is coming to an end. After 28 years as host, Reege's final day is Friday, Nov. 18, and Jerry Seinfeld is the first guest host lined up for the temporarily renamed "Live! With Kelly."
Bing: More about Jerry Seinfeld
"Jerry is a great friend of ours, and a friend of Kelly's, and it doesn't hurt that he's an entertainment icon," executive producer Michael Gelman said in a statement. "It's a great way to kick off the new beginning of our show."
Fans may recall the revolving door of hosts after Kathie Lee Gifford's 2000 exit, which ended when "All My Children" alumna Ripa was permanently given her seat. In that same vein, Regis' name will be removed from the show title as the show tries out a stream of new co-hosts. Front-runners for the new "Live! With Kelly and ____" have been her hubby, Mark Consuelos, Bravo host Andy Cohen and Ryan Seacrest. But word is it's still anybody's game.
While Ripa tests out her chemistry with a stream of Hollywood men, daytime fans can also expect some shakeups to the show, which will be tweaked to match her style.
Bing: More about Kelly Ripa
As the first "Live!" post-Regis co-host, Seinfeld will sit down Monday, Nov. 21, through Wednesday, Nov. 23, to chat with guests Jason Segel, Kim Cattrall, Howie Mandel, "Naked Chef" Jamie Oliver and the one and only Miss Piggy.
Then, it's on to the next. The search for a permanent successor will continue ...
"Live!" airs weekdays in syndication.

Lulu is facing her biggest fear this Halloween: Commitment
Bing: Watch clips and episodes of 'General Hospital'
MSN TV: Sonny's bon voyage dinner for Kristina seems an ideal time for Lulu and Dante to announce their engagement, but Lulu is getting more and more nervous about the whole thing: What's going on with her?
Julie Berman: She loves him, but she's not sure she wants to marry him, because of his career and her fear of completely investing in someone she can lose. Then that falls into her other problem with marriage, as an institution itself. She's grown up with a lot of questions about marriage and whether it's really special, really means anything or is necessary.
Obviously, relationships in Port Charles don't last, so she's right to feel skeptical, but deep down in her heart, she would love to get married and have it last forever. There are a lot of things she needs to accept, including the potential for things to not end happily ever after, and that's hard for her.
Did Lulu's chat with Sonny send her over the edge?
In all honesty, he of all people honed in on what was going on and called her out on it. She spoke with Maxie about her fears, but it was very vague. She didn't want Sonny to be the one to give her advice, but a lot of what he said is exactly what she's thinking. If she's too afraid to get married, she should end this now and not drag it out any longer.
What will it take for her to move forward?
Lulu and Dante have no idea. That's the problem. There's the option that Dante takes a desk job, so she feels he's a bit safer, but Dante might start to resent Lulu for the rest of his life. It's a tricky situation, and it's also not easy to talk about as a couple. The question of "How much do you love me?" comes up, [but] that's not what it's about. Personally, I think it's about accepting that life is going to deal you cards and you've got to let the chips fall where they may, but it takes time to accept something like that, because it's not how she's wired.
The Spencers are, however, wired for addiction, and Lulu has been turning to alcohol a lot lately…
I don't think they've been very subtle with that idea. (laughs) It seems to be an easy check out for her when things get a little overwhelming, especially with all the confusing feelings she has right now over her relationship. The alcohol is just a quick fix. She doesn't think there's a major problem with it, but it's not normal for her, so she's being a little secretive about it.
Which sounds like a problem in the making: How do you feel about possibly playing an alcoholism story down the line?
I always love playing that kind of stuff. The only thing I worry about is how it will be executed. We've seen this alcoholism story many times, with many characters. I would hate for it to be an obvious, repetitive beat. I would love to play it if it was compelling and a little different than what we've seen before.
Would you like to see Lulu overcome her fears and get to the altar?
That would be awesome. I would love to have a huge wedding, because it would be cool to say, "Yep, I had my soap opera wedding." That's a goal I hope I get to attain, but these days, you never know what's going to happen with the future of soap operas. My time might run out.
Does that sentiment change the way you approach story?
No, no. I think about that, but when I go to work, I'm doing the work like every day is my last day, and that's how it's been since I started. There's a big level of commitment to every script I get: whether I feel I have 20 years of two days, I'm committed to making everything wonderful.
What can you tell us about the new rumors about you're leaving the show?
I don't even know how these rumors start. My first thought is, "Who is the person that comes up with this stuff and what joy does it bring to them?" So no, I'm not leaving. I'm still on the show and I'm very happy. I've always enjoyed working on the show, and we have a great cast right now. It makes it fun to go to work.
Back when you first came to "General Hospital," did anyone take you under their wing?
Not really. I was pretty comfortable, right out of the gate. I didn't need a lot of hands on guidance. Some of [the newer cast members] get it and it almost screws them up, so I'm happy I didn't have that. Over time… I do have those kinds of people at my disposal now. I can go to Tony (Geary), Jane (Elliot) and Laura Wright. They have worked in this medium for a long time, and I value their opinions. They're people I love and value a lot in my life.
Before we let you go, fans are dying to know when you and Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) will have an event. Anything on the agenda?
We don't have anything set. We've talked about it, and truly, it's difficult. My lifestyle is becoming a bit more overwhelming and crazy, because I have this job and a [dog bed] side business, as well. It's not as easy as is used to be to pick up and schedule things in advance. I know fans are crazy about it happening, but at this point, I can't guarantee anything. That's just the way life is, unfortunately.
"General Hospital" airs weekdays on ABC.
'Predator' threatened by lawsuit
Catching a predator is awesome. Publicly humiliating him may be actionable.
According to this report in The Hollywood Reporter, a federal judge in California has refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed against NBC by Anurag Tiwari, a former Sun Microsystems engineer who claims that being ensnared on a 2006 episode of the show violated his rights to privacy and inflicted undue emotional distress.
"To Catch a Predator" traps alleged child molesters by working with members of a watchdog group who -- posing as minors online -- lure suspected pedophiles to a house for sexual activity. Once the suspects arrive, Chris Hansen pokes his head out of a back room to ask what they're doing. Police arrest the suspects as they exit.
NBC claims that these events are news stories, and that the First Amendment allows news stories to be broadcast with impunity.
That may not be so, according to U.S. District Court judge Edward Chen, who ruled last week that it "was not necessary" for cops to wait until after the Hansen confrontation to arrest Tiwari or to arrest him "in a sensational way," or for NBC to film Tiwari -- who was nabbed in Petaluma, Calif. -- being cuffed and questioned.
If the suit succeeds, it could jeopardize the format of the show.
The judge did, however, reject a portion of Tiwari's suit claiming defamation -- on the grounds that he was engaged in an apparent felony. (Eventually, he was convicted of a misdemeanor, which was reduced to an infraction as part of a plea deal in exchange for dropping his appeal.)
No trial date has been announced.
Shane and Otis are trapped, while the rest of the survivors wait and watch over Carl
"I don't know if I want to live, or if I have to, or if it's just a habit." – Andrea
It's inevitable that in the world of "The Walking Dead", everyone will have to confront the issue not such of whether they want to live, but how they want to live. How many of the rules, ethics, and morals of the old pre-zombie world do you carry over and cling to in the current one? How many of them are even feasible? And most important, which ones are the ones that make us humans worth surviving in the first place?
Bing: More about 'The Walking Dead'
On Sunday night, Lori grapples with the basic question of why they are fighting to keep their son alive in this environment, as she begs Rick to tell her why it isn't better to let Carl die and be spared whatever fresh horrors are in store for all of them. Meanwhile, Andrea is still struggling to find a reason to keep going after Dale's paternal instincts fail to move her to embrace life. And in the most gut-wrenching decision of the series so far this season, Shane doesn't hesitate to sacrifice Otis in order to escape back to his friends with the medical supplies.
Although it was clear from the first in media res scene with Shane in the bathroom that something unspeakable had taken place back at the high school, it was still pretty shocking to see actual deed, and the subsequent scuffle between the two men as the zombie horde closed in. Of course, the circumstances were heightened by the fact that Shane wasn't just saving himself; he was saving Carl by proxy. But this is obviously going to traumatize him for a while, and probably make him further estranged from all of the others in the group.
Most of those others are slowing making their way back to one cohesive group, with the arrival of Glenn and T-Dog at the farmhouse. The search for Sophia continued out by the traffic jam, with a deepening connection between Andrea and the now strangely charming Darryl. The interplay between these characters is a lot more enjoyable, maybe because they are all just discovering each other and don't have the shared history that Shane, Lori and Rick do. They are in the here and now, not replaying old roles and re-opening old wounds. It's enough for them to just live to see another day, and keep the best parts of themselves alive for an uncertain future.
- Why didn't Shane kill Otis outright instead of wounding him in the leg? It would have been kinder, and I'm pretty sure we've seen zombies gnawing on freshly dead people.
- I'm sure this story doesn't have time for conventional romances, but Glenn and Maggie have some sparks. So do Darryl and Andrea, if they can get past the puking.
- Carl's seizure was pretty disturbing – good job, littlest actor.
- Thanks for reading, y'all.

Six Civil Courts in Los Angele County closing Friday, good luck to all that sue.
Here is another factor, your lawyer will charge more for traveling time.
Right now, when I file an eviction for an owner for Pomona Court, I will have to drive to Pasadena to file it , then come back to serve it in Pomona.
IMO, this stinks.

Orange County ranked 50th among large metropolitan areas in Forbes' 2011 list of best cities for job growth by newgeography.com.
That's actually an improvement from last year, when Orange County was 60th on the list of metro areas with at least 450,000 payroll jobs.
Texas cities, led by Austin, took four of the five top spots among the big metros. New Orleans was fifth.
The Silicon Valley ranked highest in California, coming in at 27th, up from 47th last year. Los Angeles was one of the few California areas that fell in the ranking. It was 59th in 2010 and is 60th this year.
Among the entire 398 metro areas analyzed, Orange County was 317th . But that was up from 353rd in 2010.
The annual ranking is done for Forbes by Joel Kotkin, distinguished presidential fellow in urban futures at Chapman University, and Michael Shires, an associate professor of public policy at Pepperdine University.
It is based on four factors:

Love Anthropologie! Thank you for the link. I did check them out, however they did not have any pull that was large enough for the over sized drawers I am needing them for. I will have to work in some of the lovelies somewhere in the kitchen though! | ||||
A couple of sites for you. http://www.horton-brasses.com/store/handlespulls http://www.hardware4less.com/searchresults.asp?cat=35 More pulls http://www.pullsdirect.com/ame...-collection/p1315949 Another Site http://www.hardwareresources.c...ucts.php?category=DH Good luck with your search! ~Like sands through the hourglass ~So are the days of our lives | ||||
Lee Valley has many different types of unique pulls.

I haven't looked at all of the sites suggested but I did look at anthropologie and those pulls are just GORGEOUS. Thank you for posting. | ||||
For 3 bathrooms that we have redone I had knobs made from the leftover granite countertops pieces.. | ||||
Restoration Hardware has styles that are offered in several sizes. | ||||

So many great ideas...thank you! I ended up purchasing several from Restoration Hardware. Plan to put them on a piece that is more predominate in the room and hoping my existing hardware may work with it. Love the glass knob from Anthropologie. I'm dying over a glass handle they have and wondering if I can sneak it in somewhere? What do you all think of mixing up the hardware? I don't want to go too crazy but now I am being tempted by so many! Quite the opposite of when I originally posted this. | ||||
Such a beauty... | ||||

Mains electricity by country
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2011) |
This article includes a list of countries and territories, with the plugs, voltages and frequencies they use for providing electrical power to small appliances and some major appliances. Every country has differing rules regarding distribution of electricity for portable appliances and lighting. Voltage, frequency, and wall socket type vary widely, but large regions may use common standards. Physical compatibility of receptacles may not ensure compatibility of voltage, frequency, or connection to earth ground.
This article lists current wall socket, voltage and frequency commonly expected for many regions. In some areas, older standards may still exist. Foreign enclaves or buildings frequented by tourists may support sockets not otherwise used in a country, for the convenience of travellers.
Wall sockets[edit]
The lettering system used here is from an IEC Web page[1] which defines the letter names and gives a (not always correct) list of what plug types are used where. Although useful for quick reference, especially for travellers, the Web site is ambiguous in some areas.[citation needed] Since the Web page does not reference national technical standards that define the dimensions and tolerances of devices, a plug and socket that are classified there under the same letter will usually mate, but there is no guarantee of this. In particular the letter C is used for plugs with two round pins and no earth, but there are a number of standards that meet this description and not all are compatible.
The IEC publishes IEC Technical Report 60083 which lists standards used by IEC member countries.[2]
Multi-standard sockets are sometimes used in China and some other Asian countries; these are intended to accommodate plugs conforming to various different standards. They do not normally have earthing (grounding) connections for either CEE 7/4 "Schuko" or CEE 7/5 (French). In multi-standard sockets, the aperture size for NEMA plugs is often the same for both Line (Hot) and Neutral, which allows a polarized plug to be inserted in either orientation thus defeating the safety feature. Also, in a socket designed to accept both NEMA and BS 1363 plugs, the polarization can only be correct for one type of plug, so only appliances which do not require specific polarization should be connected.[3] Multi-standard sockets are illegal in some countries such as the UK, and have been classified as a serious safety risk.[4]
Adapters that allow insertion of otherwise mechanically incompatible plugs into sockets are useful for travelers, but, as with multi-standard sockets, may not provide the grounding and polarization intended by a compatible system of plugs and sockets.
Plugs and power cords[edit]
Plugs and power cords have a rated voltage and rated current assigned to them by the manufacturer, and these values are required to be marked on the plug. For a plug, the values are normally those specified in the relevant standard sheet. The international preferred rating for household plugs and sockets is either 130 V or 250 V, these are the values for normal use, and at which they are tested. (Plugs and power cords are also required to be tested at higher voltage for a brief period of 1 minute to test their electrical strength in case of fault conditions.)[5] The NEMA 1–15 U.S. 2 pin (Type A) and NEMA 5–15 U.S. 3 pin (Type B) plugs are rated at 125 V .[6] Travelers from countries which use mains voltages below 130 V, such as North America and Japan etc, should note that in counties which use the higher mains voltages in the range 220 – 250 V the plugs are rated at 250 V.[7] Travellers should ensure that they always use appliances, plugs and power cords which are appropriate for the territory they are in.
Sockets connected to mains voltages above 125 V and which accept Type A or B plugs may be suitable for plug-top chargers and power supplies with Type A pins, providing they have a suitable voltage rating.
Voltages in this article are the nominal single-phase supply voltages. Three-phase and industrial loads will have other voltages.
All voltages are root mean square voltage; the peak AC voltage is greater by a factor of √2, and the peak to peak voltage greater by a factor of 2√2.
Table of mains voltages and frequencies[edit]
Note: The table can be sorted using the icon. A key to reference letters to socket types can be found on AC power plugs and sockets.

St. John's University's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program has aided thousands of lower-income New Yorkers in two boroughs by completing over 3,500 Federal and NYS income tax returns generating nearly $3 million in refunds this year. For the third-straight year, 85 upper-class undergraduates and graduate students of the Peter J. Tobin College of Business, Department of Accounting and Taxation at St. John's University assisted the low-income New Yorkers at St. Mark's AME Church in Jackson Heights, Queens and at St. John's Bread and Life in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. The St. John's students assisted in filing 883 returns at the Bread and Life location, which is sponsored by St. John's University, and over 2,600 returns in Jackson Heights.Nina T. Dorata, Assistant Professor, Peter J. Tobin College of Business, coordinated the VITA efforts for St. John's University and saw a sizable increase in refunds being returned to New York City residents. "Our students generated nearly $3 million in income tax refunds which is approximately triple the amount of refunds St. John's students generated during the 2009 tax season," said Professor Dorata. "These income tax refunds represent monies returned to the community and we are indebted to our student tax preparers and student-supervisors. In addition, the VITA program was responsible for nearly 3,200 taxpayers agreeing to provide income tax data to St. John's University for research purposes." The undergraduate and graduate students of The Peter J. Tobin College of Business who were involved in the VITA Tax Assistant Program were honored by NY1 as "People of the Week" for their outstanding service in the community. This year's group of students aided thousands of lower-income New Yorkers in two boroughs by completing over 3,500 Federal and NYS income tax returns generating nearly $3 million in refunds this year. Please watch the exclusive interview that took place between a NY1 reporter and tax preparers at the St. John's Bread and Life location in Brooklyn.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited St. John's Bread and Life in early April to remind New Yorkers about the City's free tax assistance and to urge lower-income New Yorkers to file, as they likely had considerable amount of refunds owed to them. Roughly one million New Yorkers qualified for the Earned Income Tax Credit, which averages over $2700. The St. John's students were trained by professionals from the FoodBank for NYC who partner with Department of Accounting and Taxation to deliver the IRS' Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in Brooklyn and in Jackson Heights. For more information on the VITA program contact Professor Nina Dorata by calling at (718) 990-7329 or e-mail inquiries to email@example.com. Media inquiries can be directed to Dominic Scianna, Assistant Vice President for Media Relations at St. John's University via telephone at (718) 990-6185, or via electronic mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Hi I am on the run about 4.5/5 a week. Have things incoming all the time, and tasks to be done on the run. My workplace utilises lotus notes, and I have a laptop and an iPhone. The iphone does not effectivelly synchronise with the lotus notes calendar but it does with email. I do not have the time to open up my laptop while in between visits, so I try and use my iphone. Currently just writing things to do combination in iPhone and a book and deciding what to do on the fly. I like the idea of having a paper based organiser but am afraid that I will loose it and everything will be gone. On the iPhone, I hate the fact that I cannot sync my lotus notes to dos (company server does not support). So I am stuck somewhere in between trying to make sense of it all. Any suggestions in the best system that either integrates my laptop, iPhone into GTD or a paper/organiser based GDT solution?

Two Rochester men charged with burglary
Posted at: 02/20/2013 11:50 AM
A concerned citizen, checking in on a relative's North Goodman Street home while he was away, called 911 after he saw the lights on and a man with a backpack standing in the driveway. It happened around 9 p.m. Tuesday.
When officers arrived at the home, they were able to detain one suspect – 18-year-old Jayson Sanchez – who police say was in possession of an Xbox 360 and several video games. A second suspect, 18-year-old Luis Rivera, was located by police a few streets away and arrested.
Both men are charged with burglary, criminal mischief and petit larceny.

-- mortgage giant Freddie Mac seeking.
An additional ninety million dollars in government say that -- tax -- money.
After posting a loss but first quarter of the year and -- it is the resident fellow had -- -- institute joining us now from Washington DC we -- in these poppies but Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac dead.
And you have written extensively.
About how the loose lending standards pushed by congress.
And Hud got us into the housing mess we're still trying to come back from but I wonder.
What we repeat the same mistakes book -- the government does control Fannie and Friday.
That's the definite dip potential -- in the the government controls Fannie Freddie it off so controls FHA.
Department -- our cultures program in veterans administration.
And the five of those that agency's account for about ninety plus percent of all mortgages being underwritten today.
The total lack capital backing.
That business which is in the trillions and trillions of dollars is negative I mean Fannie -- just to take Freddie.
Freddie -- the taxpayers.
72 billion dollars has no additional capital obviously there there in.
Negative to the taxpayers they have one point six trillion dollars outstanding with zero behind it.
And that's a problem Fannie -- the same -- situation.
FHA the part of our culture overall pretty much in the in the same boat.
And what we have -- her series of attempts.
You mention the efforts over the last fifteen or twenty years to loosen lending.
You think we would've learned from that yet.
The department of housing and urban development and the consumer financial products bureau are both attempting to come out with regulations.
Done something called disparate impact.
Which basically says if you have underwriting standards that result in a battle hire turn down rate.
For one group vs another you have to eliminate that impact which is going to put its rate back in the same mess that we just are trying to get -- out of.
The we will never get out of Fannie and Friday.
Well it.
It's gonna take a long time.
It's been -- coming up on for years they've been -- ship.
And congress is done in the administration's done nothing.
To end it.
And we're still running at 90% they've driven private capital out of the market place.
And private capital can't come back because the government is just.
Taken over the market.
-- it was -- talked chief thank you so much we'll see various and keeping the done in the bailouts gotta worry about Fannie and Freddie first and foremost -- thank.

The government and the political party leaders have described the brief official visit by the Japanese foreign minister as important and successful in strengthening the bilateral relationship and cooperation between Nepal and Japan. During his two days in Nepal, Koichiro Gemba met top government and party leaders and assured them of continued Japanese support to the ongoing work for peace and the constitution. According to his Nepali counterpart, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, the visit was extremely important. He said it focussed on further consolidating the ties and expanding bilateral cooperation between the two countries. The visit, according to leaders, served to show Japans solidarity to the political transition towards a new republic. As an immediate outcome of Gembas visit, a Japanese grant assistance worth Rs. 259 million was signed by the two countries to increase Nepals food production. Japan also agreed to provide equipment to the Election Commission for the management of voters ID cards. As the formal visit to Nepal by a Japanese foreign minister took place in more than three decades, it has greater significance beyond the rituals.
The time could not have been more appropriate. Going through a series of ups and downs, Nepal has finally reached the threshold of a major political, social and cultural shift to a new era, with high hopes for better days ahead. Once the political transition completes, the country will need to embark on the path of economic progress. As the biggest donor of Nepal, Japan sent its high-level representative here at a time when external support matters much. This naturally raised possibilities of finding new dimensions to the diplomatic relationship between the two countries, which goes back to 1956.
As an observer of the SAARC process, Japan attaches significance to its cooperative relations in the region. Furthermore, with Nepal taking the helm as SAARC chair, Japan will find an understanding friend to listen to its concerns in the region. Nepal has always looked up to Japan as offering a model of how a modern, robust economy is built from virtual tatters with an unflinching commitment to hard work and innovation in less than half a century. Nepalese leaders, including Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai, asked the good friend to help Nepal by sending in Japanese investors and visitors for the Investment Year and Lumbini Year that we are marking here. Nepal also sought Japanese support in building the 200 MW Upper Seti, a metro rail network in Kathmandu and the mid-hills highway. Gemba deserves a note of thanks for his pledge to play a constructive role in all these areas and to continue Japanese technical and economic support in sectors ranging from education, agriculture and infrastructure to poverty alleviation and democratisation.

Adults, unfortunately, don't often listen to children. And, also unfortunately, when they do, they aren't always great listeners. It's a shame, because what children can tell us is incredibly valuable.
Last week, ChildFund released its annual survey of 6,204 children from around the world. Small Voices, Big Dreams, polled children aged 10 to 12 years in 47 countries. The survey was commissioned by the ChildFund Alliance and the Christian Children's Fund of Canada and conducted in June and July. The group didn't do a simple tick box survey. They asked kids six questions and documented their responses.
Not surprising, children in impoverished, war-torn countries were concerned about
war. Young Achiatou, 12, said simply, "I am afraid of war, and I would like to ask to our parents to stop doing war, as war destroys children's futures."
The children surveyed not only showed tremendous compassion, wisdom and, in many cases, optimism.
One Afghanistan child, Zabihullah, said, "I am afraid of child kidnapping. If I was president I would provide programs about child rights."
Perhaps, not surprisingly, when asked about their aspirations children in developed countries want to make their mark by becoming professional athletes or entertainers. While children in developing countries want to change their world by working in health care or education. But what is perhaps most interesting was an almost universal interest in the environmental future of the world. According to ChildFund's secretary-general Jim Emerson, "Consistently, children want to protect their world. Their greatest environmental concern is pollution. They want to enhance their communities by planting trees and creating more parks, and they take a strong stand against litter and rubbish."
Indeed, we should stop and truly listen to the children.

There are two independent dp83820 drivers, and varients of each driver. My driver is named ns820.c We don't currently recommend '820 cards. We have seen lost packets during tests, independent of what driver was used. This was with hardware produced at least five months ago so the problem may have been fixed. > No systematic testing though. I suspect > the driver is assuming a 66Mhz 64bit bus and messes up the card timing > but have no proof. The card just does nothing. Doesn't hang the system > though so it's not real painful to mess with. An issue that we have seen is related to automatic bus sizing. The '820 (65 bit) and '821 (32 bit) chips have the same PCI ID, and same PCI chip rev. number. The only difference seems to be in the documentation and the printing on the chip. The 64 bit chip pinout uses all pins. The 32 bit chip labels what would be the upper 32 bit pins as "N/C" (no connect). The problem is that the bit to enable 64 bit data transfers is loaded from the EEPROM. If this bit is programmed wrong from the factory, a 32 bit card (remember, it's the same chip as a 64 bit card) will try to do 64 bit transfers and vice versa. Apparently some vendors, at least for early cards, used the example EEPROM programming unmodified. When the default was incorrect for their design, they compensated for the mistake (perhaps not even realizing it was a mistake) by modifying the driver to set the bus size configuration based on the PCI subsystem ID. But that means only their cumtomized driver works. Doh! Probably more than you wanted to know, but it's a tidbit that may someday be useful.
