@14 The alternative is to ease the racists and sexists to their fainting couch and reassure them with a gentle "there, there". And we're not going to do that. If the mom in Ohio is voting Republican because she doesn't think minorities and women are getting a shitty deal in this country, well, we're going to keep up with our messaging because they are getting a shitty deal and eventually she'll realize it. If she already knows that and is voting Republican anyway because she thinks minorities are just a bunch of whiny babies (even though she doesn't really know any personally) then she's one of the deplorables and deserves the shaming. If she has some goodness and humanity in her, she'll come around. Lots and lots of people have, especially in the past decade. If she doesn't have any goodness in her, then that sucks, but placating her isn't going to make her life or anyone else's any better.

Savage Love Letter of the Day: We're Not Moving To Canada (Yet)
If we all moved to Canada, the scumbags who remained would have free rein to pursue the ideas found in the darkest corners of their brain. And before long, one of those ideas would be to invade Canada and monetize all that delicious fresh water they have up there. The only thing keeping Trump and his worshipers from sending cruise missiles in all directions is us. I'm staying.

Muslim UW Student Who Was Attacked Wonders: "Why? Was It Because of My Hijab?"
@7 Violence committed for religious reasons, regardless of who is doing it and why, is even dumber than all the other dumb reasons for committing violence. No religion is any better than any other in this regard. If God made you hurt someone or ostracize someone or dehumanize someone or take away their basic rights then that's not God. That's the devil. Own it. That's who you're worshiping.

Hillary Clinton Now Leading Donald Trump By More Than Two Million Votes
He's not saying he could have won California, he's saying he could have won more voters there per rally or per dollar spent, but that it was pointless to go there because the state was lost. And he's right. Don't get caught up in the magical thinking that it's all about the way the electoral process is structured. Maybe it matters, but it might not and Democrats need to accept the fact that we need to work harder and smarter to convince voters that we really are the better choice. We are the better choice but there's a whole lot of bullshit we have to fight through to make our case effectively. God knows how many more votes he could have cadged off fools in places like Orange County.

Kshama Sawant and the Socialist Alternative Should Not Lead the Anti-Trump Protests
Fellow Clinton voters, we lost. What we did this time didn't work, it's time to try something different. Bernie supporters, you lost. What you did this time didn't work, it's time to try something different. Socialists, you lost. What you did this time didn't work, it's time to try something different. Misanthropists, you won. You hate humanity, by definition, so you think we got no less than what we deserve. But that's no reason to listen to what you have to say, or even to acknowledge your existence. A misanthropist is nothing more than a racist who hates white people just as much as they hate people of every other color. Even Trump is better than that.

Audacity, ideology, and misanthropy are no substitute for smarts. That much, at least, is evident. It's hard to think clearly when one is so busy posing, it would seem.

In Seattle Visit, Libertarian Gary Johnson Outlines His Vision: "It's Gonna be Uber Everything"
History provides us with a perfectly good example of libertarian unregulated market economics. It's called Victorian England and if ever there was a golden age of humanity, that was it. I can't understand why we all didn't adopt that model in perpetuity. If a man can't be free to work 6 days, 12 hours a day in a coal mine for a crust of adulterated bread and a little rancid bacon fat, then we all ought to just pack it in, I say.

here's Sweetie Pie getting the misses!
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
Ballerina Rosie is 9!
Happy birthday my sweet girl!
9 is going to be great!
Yesterday was her birthday and she decided to have a movie themed party.
(click on picture for a better view of the cake!)
Sister love
Flowers in a popcorn cup
Gifts for party girls
(the popcorn in bags is white chocolate covered popcorn w/M&M's candies--it's also what is on the cake)
Ballerina Rosie made up "Pin the popcorn in my mouth"
The girls had fun with this one.
(in order to not get lice again we used different bandannas and each girl got to take theirs home)
Another game, was to try to get a pretzel M&M in the cup,
here's Sweetie Pie getting the misses!
here's Sweetie Pie getting the misses!
Movie Director Says....(like Simon Says)
Each girl had a chance to be the Movie Director
Snacks were popcorn and raspberry lemonade (sugar free) in movie theatre cups
(I got 7 cups w/lids from Super America for 79 cents)
The girls watched the movie Megamind in a darkened living room and
had cake and ice cream before going home!
It was a fun day, and this mama is pooped!
(she had 2 good friends and 2 neighbor girls over, plus our girls)
Ballerina Rosie kept saying what a good birthday it was all evening,
which made it all worth it, I know she will remember this day as she grows up!
Which is what birthdays are all about, right?
God bless you my sweet 9 year old!

If you're looking for anime similar to Sister Princess, you might like these titles. All recommendations are made by Anime-Planet users like you!
Rino is an orphan whose only memento of her mother is a taking puppet named Puuchan. After a generous donation from a mysterious benefactor, Rino finds herself enrolled in the prestigious all-girls high school known as Miyagami; and thus her adventure begins! With Rino's naïve nature and Puuchan's sadistic streak, the duo quickly takes the school by storm. From the ranks of the seemingly all-powerful Best Student Council, Rino and Puuchan change the lives of everyone they meet, like it or not!

What does an extremely siscon harem anime have to do with a slightly yuri gokusen anime? Incredibly both Sister Princess, and Gokujo Seitokai have quite a bit in common: unbelievable characters that are so extremely dissimilar as to be virtually impossible to collect together into a story, a cast which is a bit too large to effectively use in an approximately 23 minute long episode, obvious intentional plot holes that are supposed to pass for jokes, and a tendency to continue using a mediocre plot device after it is far past being useful. But hey, if you liked one series, then I can't see any reason why you wouldn't like the other.
After having lived elsewhere for several years, Sana returns to the town in which he grew up in, and quickly begins to reacquaint himself to his surroundings and new high school. While there, Sana runs into his four childhood friends: Shuu, Shuri, Aoi, and Nanaka; but for some strange reason Nanaka gives him the cold shoulder. As he goes about his new daily life, can Sana rebuild his friendship with Nanaka while trying to deal with a troubling secret from his past?
This is a bit of a complicated recommendation. In Myself; Yourself, there is one arc that looks into the relationship between a brother and sister (twins in this case) which is very well done. If you liked the brother-sister relationships in Sister Princess, it may just be worth it to watch this series for more sibling closeness.
After his father decided to work overseas, Nozomu moved to the town of his childhood to attend school -- but this is no ordinary town! There is a legend that twins once loved a man so much that they turned into birds and flew away, and the abundance of twins to be found is the result. For Futami, having multiple twins who like him is a dream come true, but also a lot of work since they all want his attention! Now, with jealous fan clubs, sibling rivalry and an ornery goat named Billy to handle, Nozomu must try to win the affections of his childhood friends and new faces alike!

Sister Princess and Futakoi have a few similar themes though not the same reasons. Futakoi has many sets of twins trying to win over the feelings of the main male lead. Sister Princess is more of how the younger sisters of the male lead compete for, and adore his attention. Both have a similar animation style and a light comedic feel. I belive that one who enjoys one of these series would likely find the other interesting.
The sporty Nagisa and the bookish Honoka are ordinary middle school students, but when two strange creatures called Mepple and Mipple force them together to form the magical girl squad Pretty Cure, their differences soon give way to a developing friendship. But being a hero of the Light is not all roses! Will there be enough time for studying, playing lacrosse and cute boys in between their battles against minions of evil?
there are two girls and one day in o=one of thet girls room a shooting star crashed and there was a mobile with a creather in it.that hapend to the other girl too.with them they becomed super heroes.
After a fight with his father, the determined Ikuto decides to run away from home; but unfortunately for him, after boarding a cruise ship, he finds himself being thrown overboard in the middle of a freak storm! He regains consciousness on the inescapable island of Airantou – an island with plenty of trees, sunshine, and… dozens of gorgeous girls?! Ikuto now has an entire population of lovely ladies to fight over him, including the beauty who saved him from the sea, Suzu. Can Ikuto survive this so-called "heaven", or is he doomed to remain on the island forever?

There are many similarities between the two series like how the main character does not like the situation that they are in and try to escape. Also, all the girls try to get the main characters attention. In my opinion if you like one you are probably going to like the other.

Pony Play Whip Royal Fun!
I think that this toy is worth buying. I'm really glad to add it to my collection of toys and is nice to have a bigger-sized butt plug to help prepare my butt for anal sex. I also loved the pony play aspect of it. It added a nice humiliation to it. My partner was very pleased with this toy which is a huge bonus. We tend to play with toys that he prefers, and he likes this one.Published:
Good quality butt plug and a playful and fun whip at the end of it.
The medium size may intimidate some people who are new to anal play.
I really enjoyed testing out the Pony Play Whip Royal. It is a good quality butt plug and was a lot of fun in the bedroom with my partner. It really helped get me to ready for anal sex as well as had a great humiliation factor. It was lots of fun!

"Digital" Hook up wire
I hope this is not to far afield from the topic here but I suspect others might be interested, too. What wire do you /would you use for digital signals - internally from a dac board to a buffer? Not speaking of transport to DAC ... Have you found wire to make much a difference here? And if so, what do you like? THANKS,

Hi Peter and Bobken, and all you other Nossers :-),
I've very much enjoyed reading about your development of this humble little chip. I am about to try it out for myself... I have a question of course ;-) I assume someone must have tried a potential divider instead of a single I/V resistor to ground ? If so, why was it rejected ? I was thinking a 4.7R series resistor, with the resistor to ground unchanged. It would increase output impedance, and lower output voltage a fraction, but not significantly and would isolate the dac from cable capacitance ? In my application, the DAC will feed 1m upocc cables with no DC coupling cap at the DAC. I have 3.3uf Mundorf silver/oil input caps with 100K input impedance at the amp input. My apologies if this has been covered somewhere, but in my defence, in all the posts and reading I've done on the TDA1543, I can only find one reference to a potential divider here : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/g8hqp/audio/TDA1543IV.html I hope Dave Kimber will not mind me quoting him. He says, "If people really must have passive I/V then the best option is to use a potential divider which will set a standing DC bias at the output, but very few designs do this." Thanks for any comments. Tom Last edited by KlipschKid; 6th May 2012 at 12:37 PM. |

I never tried potential divider, so can't really comment on that.
www.audiosector.com Do something really well. See how much time it takes. It might be a product, a work of art, who knows? Then give it away cheaply, just because you feel that it should not cost so much, even if it took a lot of time and expensive materials to make it. - JC |

looks like your curent dac schematic differ from Non OS TDA1543 PCB Layout would you tell us why omit 3300 pF from filt pin - as I read It filtrate noise what type resistor and cap recommend to use for PLL - Is ordinary Vishay Dale RN good for resistor and how about Vishay Rodersatin MKT for cap |

This capacitor is not specified in CS8412 datasheet and was popularly known as "wildmonkeysect tweak": Cs8412
In our listening tests the modded DAC sounded better without 3n3 cap. For PLL I'm using nude Vishay and BG NX

0.1uF BG NX is actually pretty small; size certainly matters, but quality of dielectric even more.

1543 Vref
hi all , finding this page yesterday http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/g8hqp/audio/TDA1543IV.html
i wonder why many people use 8V with 1.5K and 2.2K to 2.7K output resistors and not the values seen in this page? is it just about 2nd order distortions or something else?
French is not a crime. |

I have the "Muse Mini 4xTDA1543" and have succesfully used these resistors: 680 ohm Dac resistor replaced with 212 ohm (270//1k SMD) 390 ohm Bias resistor replaced with 243 ohm (1k//1k//1k//1k//10k SMD) Vout = 0.675 Vrms THD+N = 0.029 % (2. harmonic dominant) Measured with Asus STX, 96kHz I used a 1K+100 ohm multi trimpot to find the optimum Rbias value. It is important to do this to find the sweet-spot, and then later replace with resistors. While messing around, I tried to tie a capacitor (47uF) across the bias resistor. Some how this raises the hole noise floor about 12 dB, and adding some nice analog "noise" to the music. Using a smaller Cap value of 1uF gives rise to the noise above 10kHz. Have anyone else tried this ? (the 2. and 3. harmonic stayed at the same amplitude while this cap was on) Regards Flemming Bach Denmark |

Hi, I also have the Muse Mini 4xTDA1543 and after several mods I successfully terminated the input DIR9001 receiver. Anyway, the problem with connecting a capacitor across the bias resistor is that the resistor is fed by a DC reference voltage. This reference voltage has an output impedance considerably lower than series Bias resistor. If you short the bias resistor out with a capacitor the gain goes up for AC noise. It is like having a capacitor across the resistor in the cathode of a tube circuit. This is done to intentionally increase the audio AC gain of the tube circuit. However you are trying to maintain a constant DC current in the reference circuit. This brings to mind putting in a small inductor in series with resistor to decrease more AC gain and noise, particularly at higher frequencies. regards, Gerrit Aartsen

I've been in the Navy for a very long time...or it least it seems like it. Believe it or not, I learned woodworking on some massive machines at my first duty station, but I didn't really get into it personally until about a year ago. Generally because my pisstivity level would rise whilst furniture and/or home improvement shopping. I'm teaching myself, so sometimes it's painful and I suck, but whatever. Woodworking is a new adventure that feeds my OCD habit, and I won't suck as bad with more practice.

The best of 2011: clubbing
Time Out's clubbing editor picks out her highlights of London's party scene in 2011
Clubbing in 2011 was bigger and more daring than ever. Alexandra Palace was turned into a rave playground with monster parties featuring some of the world's biggest dance DJs while Deadmau5 and friends threw a mini-festival in Victoria Park and, in alternative nightlife, Secret Cinema broke all records with nearly 60 events this year. In east London, no venue was left unturned, and we partied in photography studios, air raid bunkers, shop windows, launderettes and rooftop gardens. It's been a victory year for electronic music too, with dubstep and house producers shining at the Mercurys and in 2011's Grammy nominations.
The best of 2011...
Boiler Room
Unit 5 Farrell Court, Elephant Rd, London SE17 1LBThough it started life in a warehouse in east London last year, this intimate, forward-thinking guestlist-only club-sesh-cum-online-radio platform exploded in 2011 and has put the focus firmly back on DJs rather than producers. Everyone from techno big guns Carl Craig, Dubfire and Richie Hawtin to the world's biggest party DJs like Diplo and Seth Troxler, and the cream of the UK underground, have appeared before its wobbly webcam, spinning DJ sets for thousands of viewers at home via internet streaming service Ustream. And if you miss its regular Tuesday evening live slot, you can catch up with the action via video podcasts on their website. Its reputation was sealed in October, when it was selected for Radiohead's remix album launch, with Thom Yorke stepping up to the decks.
Revolutions in Sound
The next step on Red Bull Music Academy's path to world domination, October's Revolutions in Sound was a mind-blowing repurposing of one of the capital's most iconic structures, the London Eye. The Eye's 30 pods were lit to dazzling effect and filled with the country's most exciting and pioneering DJs, producers and performers for an intimate audience of just 12 people as it completed a revolution in the sky. Name acts including Skream and Benga, Don Letts, David Rodigan, Andrew Weatherall, Professor Green and Kano each hosted a capsule, and the party continued at Fabric after the wheel had finished turning. From below in the 'silent disco' area, the experience wasn't so groundbreaking – you could only tune in to four of the live feeds on your headphones – but as a sonically enhanced spectacle, this exceeded all expectations.
Numbers and Hessle Audio
Two of the most important UK-based record labels of the year; their physical output and respective Rinse FM shows are where you can hear the future of electronic music, while their parties are how you can feel it in action. Glasgow/London imprint Numbers are responsible for bringing international attention to talents like Rustie and Hudson Mohawke (now both signed to Warp), and their most prominent resident, Jackmaster, this year released a compilation for the esteemed Fabric mix series. Tickets to their most recent party in London – presented by on-point promotions team Black Atlantic in early December – were rarer than truffles. Meanwhile, Hessle Audio – run by Ben UFO, Pangaea and Pearson Sound – launched its first compilation '116 & Rising' with an excellent party at XOYO in May before taking their unique crossbreed of house, techno, jungle, IDM and dubstep on tour to Europe.
Two other associates of the bulging Rinse FM family are Elijah and Skilliam, better known together as Butterz. While grime-popsters like Tinie Tempah and Dizzee Rascal scale the charts and undertake arena tours, the Butterz duo have mined the grime underground for the best new talent: namely, the DJs focusing on instrumental grime spun from behind the decks rather than MCs flaunting their rapid-fire flows from the front of the stage. They've thrown club nights and showcases at Fabric, East Village, Cable and during the Found series at Hidden in London this year, played alongside DJs like Terror Danjah, Royal-T and Swindle. They have underlined their curatorial nous with an official compilation for the Rinse series, released in November, and still continue to treat electronic fans hungry for new music to monthly blasts of free mp3s and exclusive downloads from rising new grime talent.
FWD>> 10th Birthday
The club that embraced and defined dubstep – thus changing dance music forever – celebrated a decade of club nights and furthering the cause of underground music with a massive secret warehouse party in east London in August. The party marked 10 years of pioneering music with DJ sets from some of their most notable and regular residents and guests, each adopting a year and the music best associated with it – for example Zinc and his jungle set, designed to embody clubbing in 2001, Skream representing the beginnings of dubstep domination in 2006 or Oneman, who demonstrated the renaissance of garage so popular in 2010 and into this year. Their usual residency at Plastic People in Shoreditch, which has been going strong since 2005, has suffered from some upheaval this year due to venue refurbishments and there have been rumours that it will jump ship to a new venue further out in Dalston. So perhaps the end of a decade for FWD>> signifies the beginning of a new adventure too.
... and the worst of 2011
Peninsula Square, London, SE10 ODYIt was never going to be the most credible clubbing venture when the Proud Group – owners of hen party favourite Proud Cabaret and student staple Proud Camden – took over Matter, the venue that Fabric built from scratch. We gave it a chance, we abided the eye-wateringly tacky décor, the gilded lions lining the staircases, the dodgy murals, the nu-rave polka dot second room, but they just haven't made the most of their pristine, world-class soundsystem, opting instead for commercial club nights. Imagine how Mulletover fans felt in October, when the edgy warehouse-hoppers sold out their Halloween bash only to announce Proud2 as the venue. Still, perhaps that's all set to change: debauched after-party linchpins Circo Loco are heading there for their infamous New Year's Day bash this year, while legendary grime night Eskimo Dance is programmed in for January.

VigRX Plus Critiques
To say that most men would wish they could improve their penis size and sexual stamina is not an overstatement. The catuaba tree grows inside the Brazilian Amazon forest, and for ages, it's bark has really been utilized just by tribal guys like a sexual libido booster. One more analysis study accomplished by Dr. Waynberg with 100 guys focusing on the extremely very same problems relating to undesirable sex-related function as well as inadequate want created comparable results. Which includes the result of growing blood flow to the penile, which in turn outcomes in a larger far more challenging erection. Specifically what could be so frightening, specifically if they make use of the very exact same components in the fake variation?
VigRX Plus is a clinically tested male enhancement formulation making certain it met security requirements for attaining outstanding results. A triple blind study indicates no doctors or researchers knew who amongst in the participants are taking VigRX Plus or placebo. Participants were instructed to take the suggested dosage of VigRX Plus twice each and every day with meals for the period of 12 weeks, which is specifically 84 days. Checkout the full report about the clinical study performed by Vedic Lifesciences on VigRX Plus male supplement.
You happen to be really not going to find anything that fits that bill, especially if you're fighting ED and PE. Quite considerably any quick acting supplement that performs contains either Yohimbe or illicit prescription only components, and each of these result in side effects. If i quit employing the the item after a month, will i preserve recieving the exact same sexual increase pleasure or will the effects of the pill put on off soon after i quit taking the pill?
I do bear in mind researching VigRx and discovering a lot of adverse reviews from men and women getting problems right after long periods of use. Every single one of these ingredients has a potential of long term dangers especially in those that you could have an allergy to. VigRX Additionally Tablets are definitely not merely accessible in U s or even Uk, nevertheless worldwide from the public web page. There are lots of warehouses all over the planet intended for VigRX Furthermore and you will almost certainly get the shipping since promised promptly understanding that also along with practically nothing showing up within the package deal.
The only method to be entirely positive you are obtaining the genuine offer, you need to get from the main Vigrx Plus web site. Please note that you are not allowed to send, back the Vigrx containers after the 67-day assure period expires. Other active components of VigRx Plus are Tribulus and Damiana each created use of for centuries for enhancement of sex drive in guys.
When you program on purchasing a new solution like VigRX Plus, the 1st point you like to do is study up & watch some critiques about it so that you know what you are spending your hard earned money on. But there are too several fake testimonials of VigRX Plus available on-line which make it hard for you to determine what is correct and what is not.
NOTE: If you want to be eligible for a full refund, you should order VigRx Plus directly from the official site. My guidance is to try one thing organic first if you're possessing sexual troubles For the majority of men, a strong item like VigRx Plus is all they need to have. In my opinion, VigRx Plus is the best male enhancement item available nowadays, and I think there's an excellent possibility that you will be extremely satisfied with your final results. Not only that you can get behind all your sexual problems, VigRX Plus would be a dependable brief reduce that will lead you to a much more enjoyable sex life.
All the components in VigrX Plus are one hundred% FDA authorized and this alone puts VigrX Plus miles ahead of all other items on the marketplace. VigrX Plus is one of the couple of items on the market place that can boast of a double-blind placebo controlled trial to prove its efficacy. The 1st group took VigrX Plus twice a day for nearly three months and the second group was just on placebo. 63% of the volunteers reported that they had greater erection soon after taking VigrX Plus and 72 % reported they had far better sexual experiences soon after taking VigrX Plus.
They added that when I stop taking the tablets, the effects will not go away, given that it builds up the male reproductive system and that way, customers ought to have the ability to keep a firmer and hard erection, plus the positive sexual experiences for a far better sexual life. We have searched up many customer testimonials, internet sites and found only statements of positive improvements, but a few mention to see the amazing results" after the first month of using it, since VigRx Plus formula builds up the male system for improvements.
VigRx Plus is a variety of male enhancement pill produced from time tested organic herbs which have been in use for treating male sexual difficulties for centuries. The all-natural components of VigRx Plus make certain increment of penile measurements, improves sexual well being and enable erections to be sustained for a longer duration of time. VigRx Plus consists of three additional ingredients which had been present in VigRx which was introduced earlier.
Renewed self-assurance has been a true key for me. You ought to attempt it specifically provided the truth it really is available as a free of charge trial - does VigRX Plus operate? My sex life had hit a bit of a low before I tried VigRX Plus but these little erection pill have breathed new life into bedtime with my other half. When I was asked if I could give my personal review of VigRX Plus to this internet site I had totally no hesitation.
VigRx Plus also uses a fancy name—bioperine—which is just yet another name for black pepper" to make their item sound more important. So we want to reassure you that, if, in the unlikely occasion that you are not one hundred% satisfied with the results of VigRX Plus, your refund request will be rapidly and efficiently attended to. Side effects can be critical, resulting in high blood pressure an elevated heart rate, according to the National Center for Complimentary and Option Medicine (NCCAM). It is believed that this product does not cause any harmful side effects at all and is entirely safe to use.
Definitely, VigRX Plus did not cease by basically delivering trustworthy, powerful and protected male supplement solution but also take care of its customers. Let me place it this way, prior to taking vigrx plus, there are weeks that I do not have the drive to have sex, but recently, I can make it a handful of days weekly. You cannot anticipate any excellent benefits with it by just taking it in just two weeks. I've come here to know whether male enhancement tablets like VigRx or MaleExra pills can help me grow my penis to at least 1 more inch.
This is only to add further peace of mind being aware of that if you happen to be not happy with the outcomes you can just get your income back, but take it from me, you will enjoy it! With all those payment methods, the 128-Bit Security, the Discounts, the FREEBIES and the Funds Back Guarantee, I would usually decide on the Official web site to order VigRX Plus. The all-natural drug Vigrx Plus Scam Plus wants no introduction it is a fairly well-liked supplement which is employed by several men for penis enhancement You will come across a lot of reviews and testimonies which talk about how the natural medicine has successfully helped guys overcome their sexual wellness difficulties.

This is just bad judgement. When you just look at their vice presidential picks it becomes totally obvious that McCain is a politician and that he has BAD judgement.
Firstly, he picked someone that America doesn't know at all and now we have just a few short weeks to find out who this person is. He picked someone from a very rural, isolated state and someone with very polarizing views on things like abortion, creationism and etc.
I know a lot of people are saying that it's great that this woman has five kids and she is a successful leader and all of that and some people are going to think me sexist for saying this, but I AM looking at her personal life and what I am seeing is a woman with a family that really needs her right now.
Who is going to help and support her 17 year old daughter through a pregnancy and new marriage? I know what it's like to be a young mother. That girl needs her mom so much right now. So does her infant and her son that is leaving for Iraq.
I know just how hard it is to feel torn between the needs of my kids and my other responsibilities. I often feel frustrated and overwhelmed and I just have two. This does not look to me like a woman who can be what we need and what her family needs for the next four years and that McCain would pick her shows me that he doesn't have good judgement.
His is about getting votes and his own interests, more than thinking about what the country needs. I feel far more secure picking that "wet behind the ears" Senator from Illinois. - 1:48 AM

I wonder how many people are aware of the facts that Sarah Palin is a one-woman ecological disaster. She took the Polar Bear off the Endangered Species list in Alaska (even the Bush Administration didn't do that!), she is an avid advocate of and is largely responsible for the heinous slaughter of wolves by hunters in airplanes, and she wants to open the Arctic National Refuge to oil drilling. She also doesn't believe that climate change is man-induced.

Anonymous, what kind of remark is that??
Not a fan of Sarah Palin, but this picture is a fake.
www.factcheck.com - 7:31 AM
Joy, I am surprised that you would post this picture that is a fake. Especially since this political cycle has been particular harsh on women in politics. Remember our tribe is matrilinial and we always hold respect for women in our ways. I have also checked out some of the rumors of Sara Palin and some are false and some are a two sided story. I don't agree with alot of her views but I do respect her a a woman and at least she has taken on her own party. Even her husbands Indian blood quantum is in question when he can identify his Grandmother who has served on Native Alaska boards and is a member of the tribe . I feel this whole presidential race is full of fakes including Obama who professes to be for the enviornment and he just panders to whomever he is talking to. He was in southwest Virginia trying to get votes yesterday and he said he for clean coal which there is no such thing. Take a look at the mountians that are being raped here in the beautiful mountians of Virginia. It really makes me angry that all the so called progressives have sold them selves and ideas out just to support Obama. I plan to vote Nader .

Our nice studio is the ideal accommodation for a pleasant stay. Its high ceilings and its large volumes make it both bright and cozy. It can receive 2 people, has a living-room/kitchen, a bathroom and a loft with bed. It is also very well fitted: security door, double glazed window, well-equipped kitchen (plates, fridge, microwave), washing machine, LCD TV, Wi-Fi, etc.. Linen, towels, water, electricity and heating are all included in the price.
Forget about your car! The apartment is located a few steps away from the main avenue (1 minute), shopping (1 minute), the basilica Notre Dame (3 minutes), the pedestrian zone (13 minutes), the old town (14 minutes), the famous Promenade des Anglais (16 minutes), the beach (16 minutes) and so many other pretty places. Whether you are looking for traditional or modern restaurants, shopping, nightlife, beach, walk on the beach or cultural tours, everything is within walking distance! (see photos and google map)
Close by you'll find many renting car agencies along with several public stations of the city hall for renting bikes and cars (the so-called "vélos et autos bleus"). In addition, because the main avenue is well served, visiting all our magnificent Nice and its beautiful surroundings (the extravagant Monaco, the luxurious Cannes, the authentic Antibes, the charming Grasse, the Italian border etc..) by train, car, tram or bus, is nice and easy!
Discover our charming neighborhood and our splendid city under the sun rays that daily offers the French Riviera. We rent several apartments in Nice and are very responsive to our guests questions. It is always a pleasure for us to receive people from all over the world.
The apartment is easily accessible by most means of transport:
By plane, take bus 23 (33 minutes) or 99 (27 minutes) towards the stop "Gare Sncf".
By train from the central station (Gare Sncf), walk 400 meters (5 minutes).
By car, take exit "Thiers" from the city's internal fast lane (voie Mathis).
Last but not least, various public parking facilities (and also streets with free parking spots) are close by.
Whenever possible, we will try our best to adapt ourselves to your requests. Do not hesitate to contact us! With the hope that our apartment will allow you to make the most of our "bella Nizza", we are looking forward meeting you!
Security Deposit: 150€Pets are very welcome with prior agreement.
We will directly meet at the apartment. The exact arrival times and departure will be agreed in advance. Arrivals are preferably after 5 pm, and departures are preferably before 10 am. When possible, you will be able to leave your luggage.
Please take into account that, as we want you to have a spotless apartment on arrival (and not clean as the previous guests intend), cleaning is a mandatory additional fee for everybody and is made by professionals after each stay. All other expenses are included. The balance and refundable deposit are to be provided before entering the flat.

I am happy to stay in your apartment. I did not have any problems. Very good contact with Salvadore and Stefan. Excellent cooperation with Wimdu. Regards, Iwona
The place is well equipped and really central. The light in the living room didn't work and they never came to fix it. Overall the place is really good in price-quality. If I come again to Nice I would definetly rent it again. Not good for more than 2 people.
We enjoyed our stay in this studio, however were disappointed by two things. If the weather is warm the windows need to be open and the street noise is very loud. The second disappoinment is that the ceiling height of the mezzanine is about 5ft (1.5m) which means that any Tennant has to stoop. This is not apparent from the photos.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr dicht am Bahnhof, was sie als idealen Ausgangspunkt für weitere Unternehmungen mit dem Zug zu anderen Orten an der Küste macht. Mit der Straßenbahn sind es zwei Stationen bis zum Place Massena, Einkaufs- und Shoppingmöglichkeiten sind direkt um die Ecke, Restaurants ebenfalls.
Da das Appartement ohne Aircon ist, war es sehr warm bei Außentemperaturen über 30 Grad.
Die Fotos entsprechen der Wahrheit, es ist ein schönes Apartment. Sehr zentral, liegt parallel zur Shoppingmeile, welche zur Place de Masséna führt. Sehr lebendiges Quartier, in der Nacht viel los, deshalb ist es am Wochenende auch entsprechend laut.
Bei unserem Aufenthalt Mitte Juli war es sehr heiss, der kleine Ventilator hat da längstens nicht für genügend Abkühlung in der Wohnung gesorgt. Die Küche war ziemlich arm ausgestattet.

Apple announces Mac App Store downloads top 1M in first 24 hours
Apple on Friday revealed that its Mac App Store got off to a strong start, serving up more than a million downloads from its first 1,000 free and paid applications in the initial 24 hours of availability."Were amazed at the incredible response the Mac App Store is getting," Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs said. "Developers have done a great job bringing apps to the store and users are loving how easy and fun the Mac App Store is."
The Mac App Store launched on Thursday with more than 1,000 free and paid applications available for Mac OS X. The storefront employs the same look and feel as the highly successful App Store for iOS devices, including the iPhone and iPad.
The Mac App Store is part of Mac OS X 10.6.6, the latest update for Apple's Snow Leopard operating system. After installing the update, users can find the App Store on their dock.

Each were given away free, usually at the customer service counter, though some were placed in the Star Wars aisle. For the most part these stories can be considered out of continuity as they are basically ads for the Star Wars toy line. SYNOPSIS Aboard the lead Republic Gunship over Geonosis, a Clone commander informs Yoda that they will be arriving at the arena momentarily. Yoda expresses his distress at the situation, but the Commander informs Yoda that the clones are ready and they've come prepared for a fight. In the Geonosis execution arena, the Gunships storm in, lasers blasting; Jedi fight battle droids, and chaos reigns! The clones charge into the fray allowing the Jedi and Padmé to board the Gunships. The lead Gunship takes flight and destroys a handfull of droid starfighters, before Yoda orders it back to the ground. The Commander proudly touts the Gunship powers. Yoda agrees, but is afraid that these machines of war are a sign of a perilous future. | ||

Brave New Art
The creepy Orwellian technology of "radio frequency identification" may be coming soon to a body near you. In 2004, the FDA approved subdermal RFID chips for humans. The tags work with readers and databases to track and identify products, objects and animals. Many of the goals for this technology, such as patient medical information and kidnap prevention, sound noble. And the chips are catching on -- 170 Mexico City police officers have had them implanted, and right here at home, Spring ISD is using them on student IDs to track elementary students. But in terms of civil liberties, the slope is extremely slippery. And the U.S. Department of Defense is a major proponent of the technology.
Possibly even more unsettling, creepy Orwellian retailer Wal-Mart is leading the RFID stampede, requiring all manufacturers to implement the tags in their products, which allows the company to track merchandise from distribution center to store to, ultimately, your home. Preemptive Media, "a group of artists, activists and technologists," wants to stop the insidious spread of RFID technology. Their installation Zapped is a provocative part of the exhibition "Thought Crimes: The Art of Subversion" on view at DiverseWorks.
Curated by DiverseWorks visual arts director Diane Barber, "Thought Crimes" is a cavalcade of artwork that runs the gamut from pranks and stunts to images and objects that aim to subvert America's reigning political and corporate regimes. Combining wit and art, the work drives home important and quasi-important points. It's a welcome respite in our increasingly brave new world.
"Thought Crimes: The Art of Subversion"
DiverseWorks, 1117 East Freeway, 713-223-8346.
Through May 28.
Zapped presents an informational video about the development of RFID technology, a display of "awareness" stickers and a cage of Madagascan giant hissing roaches. The roaches are the installation's subversive masterstroke. Preemptive Media attached reprogrammed RFID tags to the roaches that, if placed in a Wal-Mart store, will taint its RFID database. The group distributed the roaches (how Houston!) at the show's opening, sending them home with gallerygoers in Styrofoam coffee containers -- the perfect in-store release system.

Wal-Mart and other manufacturers are the subject of subRosa's piece Can You See Us Now? ¿Ya Nos Pueden Ver? A pair of scissors hangs from a cord on the wall next to a container of pushpins. The artists collective asks you to cut the tags from your clothes and tack them to the world map on the wall in their country of origin. Tags cut from visitors' clothes are clustered on the map in Asia and Central America.
Clothing tags made by subRosa also dangle from the board, with manufacturers' names on one side and information about their labor practices on the other. A tag with a cheery Disney logo on one side will make you see that Mulan T-shirt you bought your kid in a new light. On the back is a quote from a young Bangladeshi garment worker who describes how she and her fellow workers are sworn at, hit with sticks and jabbed with scissors by supervisors if they make mistakes. Other tags detail abuses by garment manufacturers for Nike and Wal-Mart, where a guard poked out a factory worker's eye with a stick. "Always Low Prices. Always" comes at a price. SubRosa has taken information that's out there in dry reports and driven it home in a visually and didactically effective work.
One of the most subversive works in the whole show is by the Yes Men, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, two guys who got their start masquerading as WTO representatives at international conferences. On the 20th anniversary of the Union Carbide Bhopal gas leak disaster, Bichlbaum pretended to be a Dow spokesperson (Dow is Union Carbide's new owner) and set up an interview with the BBC, shown on video in the gallery. As "Jude Finisterra, Dow Chemical spokesperson," he stated that Dow accepted full responsibility for the Bhopal tragedy and would liquidate Union Carbide for $12 billion to compensate the more than 20,000 victims. To date those victims have received only $500 a person -- an amount Dow's actual public affairs officer has declared "plenty good for an Indian." The interview ran twice, and Dow's stock dropped by 3 percent before the company declared that, no, it really wasn't taking responsibility. The pointed stunt generated renewed attention to the tragedy and Dow's lack of action.
Other works tackle American politics. Joe Wezorek's portrait of George Bush is pointedly and poignantly created from a grid of photos of Americans dead from the Iraq war. Stephen Andrews's Iraq war drawings mine similar territory, re-presenting shocking images of torture and death in cheery colors, showing us how commonplace the appalling has become. Meanwhile, Alison Jackson uses look-alikes to stage her almost-convincing photographs, in which "George Bush" climbs onto his horse using the back of "Tony Blair" as a step, or rests his hand on "Condoleezza Rice's" thigh. And Jim Costanzo's States of Siege shows us images of protest never seen on the evening news. His collage features hundreds of photos showing resistance to the war. A father stands with a sign that reads "Bush lied, my son died." Another protester waves a placard that says "Draft Jenna."
Otabenga Jones & Associates explores "hustle-economics" in its installation The Art of the Business of Getting Over. At the opening, the collective sold bootleg CDs from a simulated 1989 Cadillac Brougham trunk and presented a shopping-cart sculpture of crap that ascends to the ceiling; old lamps, clothes, shoes and electronics create a monumental tower. On the wall, a mock-informational poster identifies and describes various strategies for getting by. Included are familiar Houston institutions like "Temporary Standby Labor" -- day labor -- and the "Coin-Operated Griot" -- those people who don't just ask you for a dollar but provide an elaborate backstory. With humor and empathy, Otabenga Jones & Associates perceptively presents an economy that's all too real for all too many people.
Gleefully lacking any social relevance, the Neistat Brothers are poster children for bratty teenage-boy subversiveness. In their giant projected videos, they do things like make a lighter child-friendly, blow stuff up and, most disturbingly, kill and reanimate a goldfish. One of their wittiest experiments shows the stripped copper wires of an electrical cord being attached to two forks. A fork is stuck in each end of a pickle, and the cord is plugged in. The Franken-pickle starts to glow and smoke and then catches fire. Like just about everything in this show, it's pretty darn cool.
Maybe there's an upside to the current repressive political climate: increasingly subversive art. It's like the preacher's-kid syndrome writ large -- the more the forces in power try to control and homogenize, the more vocal the rebellion.

Movie ReviewsFIP is the place to be. Brad from OWW | Nova Scotia | 12/16/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "Full Impact Pro made its debut in Arcadia to what I would guess was their biggest crowd to date. Coming off what I would call their worst show ever, they certainly hit a home run with this event. They started with a bang as two of the top independent wrestlers in the country put on a wrestling clinic in the opening match. Spanky vs Roderick Strong was perhaps the 2nd best match of the night behind the main event ( 8 / 10 ).
The second match pitted Dave Prazak's Asian giant Ryze taking on the rising star Antonio Banks. I still think Ryze is really green but has the potential to be something big in the wrestling business with the proper guidance. Antonio Banks continues to impress me and he is building momentum with each and every victory in an FIP ring ( 6 / 10 ). The four-way fray was won by Salvatore Rinauro and involved Jared Steel, Rainman and Kahagas. The storyline here was that Sal Rinauro is the new "protégé" of Spanky, who was at ringside cheering for his buddy ( 6 / 10 ). Dave Prazak deprived the Arcadia fans of seeing a Tag Team championship match, but instead let his DP Associates compete in separate singles matches. First up, Fast Eddie Vegas defeated Dunn (from the Ring Crew Express) but it took interference from Jimmy Rave to score the victory ( 6.5 / 10 ). It was really fun to see Dunn, and later Marcos, wrestling outside of the spot fest ROH-style they have become known for. They are actually really good wrestlers as singles and as a team. Jerrelle Clark showed up to make the save and morphed into a match where he pinned Jimmy Rave in a 1-on-1 bout ( 7.5 / 10 ). The Carnage Crew joined forces with Marcos (of the Ring Crew Express) for a six man tag team match against The Heartbreak Express & Don Juan. I have always hated the Carnage Crew, I still don't understand The Heartbreak Express, and Don Juan annoys me -- despite all that I have to admit it was a decent match ( 6 / 10 ). In a grudge match stemming from an incident that happened the night before, the "Modern Miracle" Steve Madison finally showed some personality and challenged former WWE Superstar James Gibson. It was a heated affair with both men doing their best to destroy the other, but it was Steve Madison who had his hand raised at the end of the match. Scoring a victory over James Gibson is a huge feather in your cap, even if Madison had to wrap a steel chain around his fist and crack Gibson in the head to do it! ( 7.5 / 10 ). The main event was an "Anything Goes" match between FIP Champion Homicide and C.M. Punk. Punk stole the FIP belt several months ago at an ROH show in New Jersey and has been claiming to be the FIP Champion ever since. Good prevailed over evil on this occasion as Homicide defeated Punk and reclaimed possession of the FIP belt. It was an incredible match and the crowd was emotionally invested into every intense moment ( 9 / 10 ). Final Thoughts: I'm really happy to see attendance growing for FIP events. The crowd was really vocal during this show and there were a lot of kids there having the time of their lives. That's what wrestling is all about. Good on Full Impact Pro for putting out a quality family-friendly product. " |

I'm sure this racquet has been covered many times over, but I thought I'd add my thoughts. Plus, I can't search for 7G, so here is a new thread. It is just too good to be overlooked because it isn't from one of the big three. Anyway, it's my first review (adapted from the TW APD review format), so here goes. Tennis experience/background: I played for about a year in high school, then stopped. I finally picked up the racquet again 22 years later, and have been playing for about 6 months now. I've always been good at ball & stick sports, though, so I've kind of picked up where I left off. Really wish I would've started earlier and stuck with it. Describe your playing style: I started as a baseliner, but have been playing in a 3.5 league where a lot of shots land short. The blocked back shots have me moving forward constantly and being aggressive, so now I am pretty much an all court player. I still prefer the baseline though. I hit a heavy forehand with significant spin, hit both a 1 & 2 HBH, and have flat and spin serves. Current racquet/string: PK 7G; go to set up is Isospeed Baseline Spin w/OGSM crosses. Came from an OG APD with the same strings. How long have you had the racquet: 2 months and just bought a second Comments on racquet performance: -groundstrokes: The 7G kills it here. Like many have said in other reviews, it just does everything well--it has no weaknesses. It has ample power with easy access to spin. With the poly/syn hybrid, I can hit hard, low shots off both wings, or hit heavy topspin shots that clear the net by 8ft and land at the baseline, bouncing up to my opponent's shoulders/head. While it isn't going to turn you into Rafa, the racquet does exactly what you ask of it. It rewards good form. What really surprised me is the control. I'm able to put the ball most anywhere I want, and I'm no longer hitting long. I think this is a combination of the 16 x 20 string pattern as well as the Kinetic system. I honestly cannot think of a time when the racquet twisted in my hand. This has really improved my accuracy. I also think this is the sweet spot for string patterns. I think the Kinetic system has also improved my slices. I get far less floaters than I did with my OG APD and far more hard, low drives. It almost isn't fair for the other guys. The racquet just soaks up the ball and sends it on its way in solid, cotrolled manner. I've never had a racquet so solid off the ground. -serves: It took me a bit to find my serve, but now they are back with a vengeance. My normal spin serve (second serve that isn't a slice or a kicker, somewhere in between) has good pace, depth and consistency. With the 7G, I can place this thing anywhere in the box and do it time and time again. I've also added a flat, slice and kick serve. The flat serve has ample power even though I was getting more with the APD. The slice is where this really shines. It curves wildly to the left, drops as soon as its over the net and keeps on moving out wide. Not sure if its the Kinetic stuff helping out again, but it really keeps guys guessing. The racquet just allows me to take everything but the spin off while maintaining a normal toss and motion. -volleys: This is another area that surprised me. Since I've been moving in more, I've found that the 7G is a great volleying stick. Again, I think the Kinetic system soaks up the ball and gives you great control. It is supremely stable, even on off-center hits. It is like the ball is hitting a bag of sand. Touch is great, and you can really get good angles, putting the ball where you want to. A nice thing about the racquet is you just have to get it in position. It will take care of the rest. -serve returns: I'm a little disappointed here. It isn't so much about how well the 7G handles serve returns, but more about losing a step over my APD. I think the power level is lower and the racquet is heavier, so I'm not getting it into position as quickly or getting the hard returns I was accustomed to with the Babolat. The 7G actually handles returns well, it's just that I've hit them much more aggressively with the APD. I'm still returning well, just not like before. General reaction/comments on overall performance: All told, this is one awesome stick! So much so that I felt the need to write about it. What's kind of funny is that once I took it out of the box, it was very underwhelming. The PJ looked plain, almost box store like. The feel was ok, nothing special. And this was further exacerbated by the fact that it is $120 new vs $190 for the big names. Once I got on the court, though, I realized that this unassuming, inexpensive racquet from a poorly marketed company is just right--perfect! One thing I didn't mention is the arm friendliness of the racquet. Most people, including me, find out about this stick due to arm issues. I wasn't buying the hype, but my arm would hurt so bad that I'd have trouble shifting on my way home from the court. I loved my APD, but something had to give. I only bought a new racquet because of my arm. This thing works! I've played with full poly and routinely play the hybrid, and I have zero issues. Even after 4 hrs of rallying, etc, my arm is pain free. While this is a great reason to get this racquet in and of itself, don't pass this thing off as some kind of orthopedic device. The 7G delivers the goods as a player's stick. It just also happens to help out with arm problems. On a related note, you can hear the micro beads if you shake the racquet near your ear and are trying to hear them. During play, you will not hear them. That really is a non-issue. Only bats are going to hear this on court. There you go. The best kept secret in the racquet world.
It may be a big secret everywhere else, but apparently it's not such a big secret on this forum: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=372601 Your opinion is definitely shared by a lot of people here. I haven't gotten around to trying it myself. My experience was similar to yours because I had arm problems with the APDGT. The difference is I switched to the PK Ki 5x, which is the update to the 7G. There are mixed opinions about whether or not it was an improvement. That's probably why they still sell 5G's and 7G's.
Thanks for the link, Ramon. Whenever I tried searching for 7G specifically, it would say the string is too short. I think they require at least three letters. Of course, then I realized that my title is 2 words of 2 letters each. I have seen a lot of comments about the 7G in PK and arm friendly threads which is what ultimately led me to it, but specific threads seemed hard to come by. I originally looked at the Ki5 and found your thoughts on the Ki5x, but the older racquets got great reviews and were a bit cheaper. I was meant to demo, but my arm just couldn't wait, so I jumped in. I just really felt like sharing my experience, too, in case there is someone out there in a similar circumstance wondering if they should give it a shot. In a way, I suppose I should say thanks to you, scotus, mikeler and others who posted their comments on PK and helped me decide...so thank you!
You can search for 7G on the forums with Google: 7g site:tt.tennis-warehouse.com It really is a great racket. I'm missing the putaway potential now that I've sold mine.
7g I have 3 of them , I bought 5g first though,5g is even better on arm and has better control then 7g but has a very small sweet spot,it also lacks in power so after reading numerous threads in this forum I went for 7g and couldn't be happier.My arm is very sensitive, 5g and 7g have completely healed it.
Tour Mikler,I noticed about a month back that you switched to Exo3 tour,would like to know how it fares in comparison to 7g
I'm somewhat interested in this, too. I demo'd a 16x18 Exo3 a while ago, and it was hard to get used to at first. When I changed my style, though, and hit out with tons of spin, it was actually a lot of fun. I just couldn't see playing a match with it because I felt like to be competitive, I would have to keep my foot on the gas. I'd love to pick one up along with this new 99S just for those days you want to kill the ball with tons of spin. It was great fun, but I didn't think I'd be able to sustain that over 3 sets.
I couldn't get over the springiness of the EXO3 Tour 100. I tried the 18x20 with poly and the 16x18 with syngut. I liked the 18x20 with poly better because it wasn't as springy. The trampoline effect on the 16x18 with syngut was too much for me to control. The trajectory on my shots was high and I needed to use excessive topspin to keep the ball in, and luckily, it's the most spinny frame I ever tested. My groundstrokes were launching and my volleys were going into the net. My serves were going into the net because of all the topspin I was getting, so I adjusted for it and ended up hitting kickers. The thing I liked most about the EXO3 Tour 100 was the comfort. It's easily the most comfortable racquet I ever tested, even with full poly (it was a fresh bed of RPM Blast). The problem was I had a hard time adjusting to it. I gave it every opportunity to impress me because I wanted to like it, but I kept losing every game I played with it, and I needed to switch to my demo Ki 5 to be able to give my friends a good match.
I'm in a slump right now, so take my comments with that in mind. It did not take me long to adjust to the Exo 16x18. I played very well with it until recently. My game did change into more of a defensive retrieving style though. With the 7G, I could hit the flatter putaway shots much better. I'm still not confident enough with the Exo to attempt those type shots consistently. Many seem to go into the net when I do. So like others have mentioned, I end up putting a bunch of spin on the ball to make sure I can get it over the net. I also tend to hit more serves in the net but maybe that has something to do with going back to a regular length racket. The bottom line is that the Exo is easier on my arm and that is all I care about right now.
On my Ki 5x (updated 7G) I'm using Pacific Classic and the Wilson Shock Shield replacement grip. This is the most comfortable setup I've used in a long time. I can't really compare it to the EXO3 Tour because it's been so long since I tried it, but the crisp feeling I like is still there, and I'm swinging harder than I ever have. I'm guessing it would work similarly with the 7G.
I kinda felt the same way when I demo'd it a couple months ago. It seemed like it created a very lively ball, but you would have to kill it every time in order to stay competitive. By contrast, the 7G seems to have a lot more options. I just finished a test of a BHBR hybrid, and although I didn't care for the feel of it, it had the Exo3 spin coupled with the 7G's options. Very addicting. Now I'm on to a Cyclone Tour hybrid and can't wait to try it. An added bonus, it only comes in red so it looks great on the 7G!
I put a Shock Shield on my old Silver Ace that needed a grip, and now it is on all my racquets. That really is a great grip.

Dell Latitude D630

The Dell D630 is a business line laptop made for corporate users who have a need for durability. This article will tell you how to get the basic components of the laptop running with Arch.
You can follow the Official Arch Linux Install Guide to get yourself up and running. I did a pretty standard install, keeping the XP partition that came with the laptop as my company requires all work computers to have Windows on them.
The new installers will detect the Intel 3945 card and give you the option of installing the drivers and module for it but I didn't have any success doing that. It's good to have a wired connection to begin with just to make sure you get everything up and running.
