Hi everyone,
we will be having 3 nights in both Vancouver and Calgary and are looking for hotels that are modern, have clean rooms, nice views and perhaps a club lounge.
We have been to Vancouver before but not Calgary.
We will be in Vancouver from the 6th to the 9th of July and Calgary the 19th until the 22nd.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Of all the cars racing in the 24 Hours of Daytona today, few have generated as much attention, controversy and even lust as the diesel Mazda6 racecar. We love diesels for their torque and fuel efficiency, and we love them even more when they can put 400 horsepower to the rear wheels like this one can.

Say it ain't so! To be clear, we're huge fans of the series here at Starburst, but with the third film wrapping up the tale so beautifully (who among us didn't shed a tear!), why run the risk of sullying a perfect trilogy - and how many of those are there? - with an obvious cash-grab like this?
I'm all for seeing these beloved characters again, which is why the TOY STORY shorts are the perfect way to go. Their first, HAWAIIAN ADVENTURE is currently playing before CARS 2 (finally, a reason to see it!) with a second scheduled to be attached to prints of THE MUPPETS (we don't require any more incentives to catch that one!) Here's a clip from HAWAIIAN ADVENTURE...
I really hope Hanks is wrong about TOY STORY 4, but with Pixar getting serious about sequels - CARS 2 and spin-off PLANES are in the can, with MONSTER'S UNIVERSITY coming soon and INCREDIBLES 2 being mulled - it's looking likely we'll be seeing this in a few years time.
We'll keep you in the loop on any developments.
Since we're talking all things TOY STORY, it's the perfect time to share these – Woody and Buzz re-imagined by artist Luis Eduardo Vargas Montoya (coolest name ever?). I really hope these things get made...

Just Listen (2006)
by Sarah Dessen
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Absolutely loved it. >>insert gushing here
While the story of a family of models at first seems shallow and materialistic, characters develop and the novel becomes far more complicated and interesting than I would ever had guessed. Long, but worth the read.
When events at a party at the beginning of the summer leave Annabel suddenly without her best friend, she dreads going back to school alone. She won't talk about what happened, and honestly has enough going on with her sister Whitney struggling with anorexia, and her mom still fragile after a bout with depression. Then she becomes friends with Owen, who's always listening to music and encourages Annabel to say what she really thinks.
Just Listen could so easily be an "issue" book with a point to be made, but while it touches on a lot, that never overwhelms the story of Annabel's growth, her acceptance of herself, and dealing with both interpersonal conflict and what happened at that party in May. I love Owen, the kid who had to go through anger management but resolves never to tell a lie. Annabel's family morphs and changes too, as she learns to see her sisters and parents in a new light and each of them grows over the course of the story. The dynamics among them rang true and were never heavy-handed. This was the first Sarah Dessen book I ever read and still among my favorites.
I love everything about Just Listen — the story, the characters, the writing. I had so many flashbacks of my teenage years as I read this novel. I felt like I knew the characters, maybe from my childhood or at the very least, I felt like I could reach out and touch them. I lived with them — their day-to-day drama, their secrets, their frustrations.
At first you think Annabel has everything and then her world comes crashing down only to have everything circle back around making the story feel complete.
I could relate to Annabel, not regarding her modeling career, but her avoidant behavior, how she was intimated by her friend Sophie, and how she hoped her troubles would just dissolve away only to have them haunt her until she finally speaks up. I'm grateful that I didn't have Annabel's traumatic experience.
Whitney's issues with food threw me back into my high school years when I barely ate. My issue never got as bad at hers, landing her in the hospital for months followed by outpatient therapy. I do remember feeling as broken as Whitney and food became one of our enemies, temporarily, but something that was always on our minds.
I wanted a friend like Annabel's friend Owen, someone to pick me up during my darkest moments in my adolescence. He has his own radio show on Sunday mornings and he plays techno and new age type of songs. I love his views of commercial music and fashion. I'm not sure if this is Sarah Dessen's views of music and fashion or just something fictitious she created for the novel. Owen expressed his opinions so directly and I couldn't have said it better myself.
"Bitsy Bonds isn't a singer, Mallory. She's a product. She's fake. She has no soul; she doesn't stand for anything."
"I mean, you just have to keep in mind that my listeners are going to be confused. They're still tuning in, and they expect quality. If possible, enlightenment. Not commercial, mass-produced crap sung by a teenager completely controlled by corporate marketing."
I love Owen for his brutal honesty. We can all name at least a dozen teenage singers who fit that description. I get so angry when I hear of another talentless teenage singer who is worth $100 million all because they fit a mold and people blindly support them without thinking. I just don't find these singers entertaining. Anybody can sound good if you add a ton of reverb and compression to their vocals and then run it through ProTools.
Mallory is Owen's little sister who idolizes fashion, fashion models, and the latest popular artists. By the way, her personality is hysterical. Owen is constantly voicing his opinion of Mallory's taste in fashion and music.
"'Mallory,' Owen said, 'don't be a label whore.'"
I went to school with so many label whores. You know the type. They're in the shallow cliques who all think, act and dress alike in whatever the trend-of-the-week happens to be. If you're not wearing a label, you're a nobody, a loser. This scene with Owen and Mallory reminded me of a time when I sat in band class and the girl next to me criticized me for wearing generic labels while she wore her Alligator shirt and whatever those trendy shorts were at the time. I can picture them, but I'm drawing a blank on the name of them. Back then, I just played dumb and pretended that I just didn't know where to buy those trendy clothes when in reality, my single-parent mother was dead-ass broke. It's sort of funny how a harmless and entertaining novel like the one can bring back so many memories.
Annabel's friend Sophie was intimidating and a bit scary, but I got the impression that Annabel wished she had those qualities. She wanted to stand up to Sophie, but found herself remaining silent and constantly following her lead until they had a falling out. Sarah Dessen describes Sophie's social behavior very vividly:
Sophie's particular brand of fearlessness was perfect for navigating the cliques and various dramatics of middle school and high school. The bossy girls and whispered comments that had always unnerved me didn't bother her at all, and I found it was much easier to cross the various social barriers once she'd already busted through them for me."
Owen taught Annabel how to speak up for herself. At first it was by expressing her opinion of Owen's taste in music on his radio show. Their disagreements about music were often humorous. I laughed when Annabel gave her honest opinion of a "Baby Bejesuses song" that she described as a song that was all touch-tones. Owen tried to claim that the song meant "The Baby Bejesuses are innovators of the genre." Annabel replied, "Then they should be able to put together a song using more than a phone keypad." Annabel had to endure songs with yodeling, Gregorian chants and faucets dripping. No joke.
Owen also taught Annabel how to be direct with her opinions and not use placeholders like interesting or thing. He told her they were "something you use when you don't want to say something else." Actually, there were several characters other than Annabel that experienced internal growth. Both of her sisters, Whitney and Kirsten changed in meaningful ways. I feel like I've been schooled in so many ways by Owen, Annabel, Whitney, and even Sophie, but they each had something different to teach.
Just Listen left me wanting more of the story and more of Sarah Dessen's novels. She's definitely an author I'll be coming back to in the near future.
"Dessen weaves a sometimes funny, mostly emotional, and very satisfying story."

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0142410977, Paperback)
When Annabel, the youngest of three beautiful sisters, has a bitter falling out with her best friend—the popular and exciting Sophie—she suddenly finds herself isolated and friendless. but then she meets Owen—a loner, passionate about music and his weekly radio show, and always determined to tell the truth. And when they develop a friendship, Annabel is not only introduced to new music but is encouraged to listen to her own inner voice. with owen's help, can Annabel find the courage to speak out about what exactly happened the night her friendship with Sophie came to a screeching halt?

How do people develop their understanding of what is inside them? This study looks at students' understandings of their internal structure. A cross-sectional approach was used involving a total of 158 students in England from six different age groups (ranging from four year old students to first year undergraduates). Students were given a blank piece of A4-sized paper and asked to draw what they thought was inside themselves. Repeated inspections of the completed drawings allowed us to construct a seven point scale of these representations. Our analysis shows the extent to which student understanding increases with age and the degree to which students know more about some organs and organ systems than others. While gender differences in the drawings were generally not large there were some intriguing differences in the ways males and females drew reproductive organs.

Etsy Success
"Ads not by this site"...popping up within my Etsy pages
Sign in to participate in this discussion.
This discussion is public.
Original Post
Has anyone else had ads, such as Zappo, Fab.com, Classmates etc. popping up between the Etsy tool bar and the banner and the lower margins !?
I have just recently borrowed a laptop from a friend because my pc died....and now my Etsy page is showing random pop up ads...regardless of the fact that I have the pop up blocker turned ON.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of these annoying ads?? There is a tiny "disclosure" at the lower right corner of the ad that reads "ads not by this site". I can't find anywhere "on" the ad space to remove the ads.
Please help!

Sounds like the computer has a virus - if they have webroot give their 800 # a call. If not, DON"T use it for any personal information. Take it to a computer repair center, many can do a scan for free, but fixing it may be costly. Don;t click on the ads & I would advise not using the computer for etsy until you get it check out. You would be better off using a library computer & changing the passowrds for etsy & payal if you've used it on this computer, just in case.
Posted at 11:38pm Aug 13, 2012 EDT
Uh oh!
What is a "webroot" ?
Posted at 11:42pm Aug 13, 2012 EDT
You've got a virus. :(
Posted at 11:42pm Aug 13, 2012 EDT
I had the same thing last week. If you are using Fire Fox. You can uninstall it and then reinstall after you check and see if it takes care of the problem. I also downloaded a free spy ware called Malsware. That did the trick.

I recently had an awful popup virus that Symantec endpoint protection couldn't detect. I downloaded the Symantec Power Eraser and it took care of it security.symantec.com/nbrt/npe.asp?lcid=1033&origin=default. You might want to give that a try.
Posted at 11:47pm Aug 13, 2012 EDT
I had this happen to me just this week! It looks like I unintentionally installed a tool bar called 'blekko', when I uninstalled it, the ads went away. Hope you find your solution. :)

Sounds more like a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) such as spyware. These are usually picked up unknowingly, like when downloading free trial types of games. You can easily remove them, though, yourself. Try using Malwarebytes. They offer a free one-time download trial version. I've used it before and it works wonders.
Posted at 12:39am Aug 14, 2012 EDT
Thanks to all of you for your replies and advice!!
To Disco Sorbet...
OH THANK YOU!!!!! YOUR link did the trick
I had been previously trying to download Malwarebytes and kept getting into sites that were false...??!! I could tell because ads were popping up everywhere...especially within/over other text.
The link you posted took me to the correct site and downloading was as easy as I remember (having used Malwarebytes before)...All the nasty virus business was removed after running the scan. YEA!!!
BTW FYI to all > everything removed had the title
or name of Crossfire and Crossrider.
Posted at 12:31pm Aug 14, 2012 EDT
You're welcome! So glad you were able to remove those pesky PUPs and glad I was able to help. I remember how annoying those things are and I literally wanted to just throw my laptop out the window until a friend of mine linked me to the site I just gave you.

Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts (NSFIA) was a city-run vocational and art school in Newark, New Jersey. Opened in 1882 as the Evening Drawing School, its name was changed in 1909 to the Fawcett School of Industrial Arts, and changed again in 1928 to the Newark Public School of Fine and Industrial Art. The name was shortened to Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art some time later.[1] It moved into a new building in 1931.[2]
A number of well-known artists served on the faculty at Newark over the years, including the prolific illustrator and graphic designer Irv Docktor. Others included Enid Bell, Gustave Cimiotti, Hannes Beckman (design and color), Hillaire Hiler (color), Joseph Konzal (sculpture), Gerson Leiber (print making), Leopold Matzal (portrait), Reuben Nakian (sculpture), Robert Conover, Leo Dee, Jane Burgio, and Grigory Gurevich.
The school closed its doors in 1997 when, in the midst of a budget crisis for the Newark public school system, it was decided that public schools would only operate K-12 schools.[3][4] The school was originally housed within the same building as the Newark Arts High School.[citation needed] The college moved from that facility due to lack funding in the early 1990s and was relocated to Lyons Avenue until its 1997 closure.[citation needed]

The school, which has produced generations of successful artists and designers, couldn't go on any longer after losing its funding from the Newark school system."

Stereo imaging
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
In stereo imaging the range of an object is generally determined by the techniques called stereo triangulation and stereo disparity. There are also some other techniques like depth from focus (DFF), depth from defocus (DFD), etc. [1,2,3]. DFF and DFD are normally considered to be in a seperate class, distinguished from triangulation techniques such as depth from stereo, vergence or motion [4]. One more technique is Single Lens, Single Image Passive Ranging [5] but the most popular techniques are stereo triangulation and disparity. The next section describes the stereo imaging techniques.
Stereo is a well-known technique to obtain depth information from digital images. Many research activities are known dealing with stereo vision, e.g., mobile robots, photogrametry, stereo microscopy, etc. Dhond and Aggarwal presented a review on stereo vision techniques [6]. It is also used for ranging in aircraft navigation [7]. There are two formulations with two different techniques for ranging and acquiring depth information.
One way of determining range is triangulation. This requires two or more sensors, preferably very far apart. The accuracy of the system improves with the separation distance. The two cameras placed at C1 and C2, with a third point T (target point) forms a triangle (Fig. 1), where d is the distance between cameras.
The field-of-view (FOV) is the range of angles from which the incident radiation can be collected by the detector. The FOV may be decomposed into its horizontal and vertical components, labeled as HFOV and VFOV respectively. In both cases FOV is determined by a combination of focal lengths of the lens, f, and the size field stop DF.S. The field stop is a device that blocks rays that are beyond its dimensions from reaching the detecting element(s). The detecting elements are located at the plane, which is usually not the same location as the focal point. The location of the focal plane determines at what range objects will be brought into focus. The field stop is located just before the focal plane. If there is no physical stop, then the boundaries of the detecting elements determine the field stop dimensions.
For small angles, less than 20°, where field stop is equal to one pixel size is generally true for IFOV, the inverse tangent can be accurately approximated by tan-1(x) x (radians), in which case:
IFOV = d/f (if d/f<<1) (4) [2]
IFOV = 2 tan-1(ps/2f) (5)
FOV = 2 tan-1(DF.S/2f) (6)
Another way of determining range is by using stereo disparity, as shown in Fig. 4. Let us consider a set up using two cameras in stereo.
Let the origin O of this system (fig. 4) be mid-way between the lenses centers. Consider a point (x,y,z) , in three-dimensional world coordinates, on an object. Let this point has image coordinates (x'l , y'l) and (x'r , y'r) in the left and right image planes of the respective cameras. Let f be the focal length of both cameras, the perpendicular distance between the lens center and and the image plane. Then by similar triangles:
- Two cameras with their optical axes are parallel and separated by a distance d.
- The line connecting the camera lens centers is called the baseline.
- Let baseline be perpendicular to the line of sights of the cameras (optical axis).
- Let the x axis of the three - dimensional world coordinate system be parallel to the baseline [8]
The formulations of stereo triangulation and stereo disparity are different. The stereo triangulation performs at one point ( i.e., at the coincident point of the edges of Field of View) only. Whereas stereo disparity works at the center point between cameras as well as at other points. During study it is established that if an object is at center point where stereo triangulation works, triangulation and disparity are same.

Here's the deal with these cookies: aside from the fact that they have one of the worst names in the history of naming—well, anything— hard boiled egg cookies are my absolute FAVORITE Christmas cookies to snarf down. Even though they sound about as appetizing as a whiskey shot with a pickle juice chaser, they don't taste at all like eggs. They are a lot like sugar or butter cookies, but they have a soft, sweet-but-not-too-sweet, chewy texture that pairs perfectly with a cold glass of milk.
I like these even more than Thin Mints. And I can eat the hell out of a sleeve of Thin Mints. Is that convincing enough?
Last Friday, I shared with you my grandmother's favorite cookie recipe (kolaches) and what it meant to me to have these around now that she's gone. I promised ages ago that I'd share both recipes, so I'm here to pay up and give you the details, even if you decide that the name is just too hard to get over.
Or, you could call them by name in front of your kids and basically guarantee that you can hoard them all to yourself. It's genius.
Granny's Hard Boiled Egg Cookies
- 4 c. flour
- 2 c. sugar
- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- ½ lbs. butter softened
- 4 hard boiled egg yolks sifted
- 4 whole eggs
Directions:Mix sugar, flour, baking powder, hard boil egg yolks and butter. Mix like a pie crust (dough should be bits not solid). Add 4 whole eggs and vanilla. Makes a stiff dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for about a ½ hour before rolling out on floured surface. Cut into favorite shapes. Bake at 350 degrees until the edges are brown (about 12 minutes).
I prefer them plain with a small wash of egg white on top because I'm not a big icing fan, but the rest of my family is insistent on icing or adding sanding sugar to a few so that I'm not the only one who can enjoy them.
In our family tradition, I like to eat them while they're still warm from the oven, which is also a fine time to dust them with sugar (if you didn't do it before putting them in the oven), but you should generally wait until they've cooled to ice them. Mom has a long standing tradition of ignoring this rule altogether when baking, so I have fond memories of iced cookies with a see-through spot on top (or in the case of birthdays, whole top layers sliding from their base). Ahh, childhood.
(Speaking of, the entire time I was writing this post, I said the word "cookies" so much I had a memory flashback of watching Troop Beverly Hills. I know I'm dating myself, but does anyone else remember that movie?)

Many writers will express dissatisfaction when one of their novels is
turned into a movie. By virtue of the differences between the two
mediums, pertinent parts of the fiction are often omitted or telescoped.
Characters are composited and plot strands jettisoned. Sometimes a fine
film can emerge (think ''Gone With the Wind''), sometimes not (see any
feature film based on F. Scott Fitzgerald's novels).
There are those novelists (like Fitzgerald) who tried their hand in
Tinseltown, yet those who were truly successful number in the few. As
the millennium approaches, Hollywood seemingly has turned to the
bookshelves for inspiration with some 10 motion pictures based on
literary properties hitting the screen in December alone. Among them is
''The Cider House Rules,'' the long awaited screen adaptation of John
Irving's popular novel.
Apparently, Irving was not very pleased when filmmakers undertook
previous film versions of his work. While ''The World According to Garp''
(1982) was a moderate success and brought Oscar nominations to
supporting players Glenn Close and John Lithgow, ''The Hotel New
Hampshire'' (1984) was an artistic and box-office disappointment. When ''A
Prayer for Owen Meany'' was turned into 1998's treacly ''Simon Birch,''
Irving distanced himself and his novel from the finished project.
''The Cider House Rules'' clearly held special meaning to the author, and
he spent close to 15 years shepherding it to the screen (Irving detailed
how this was achieved in the recently published ''My Movie Business: A
Memoir''). Writing the screenplay adaptation, Irving cannot blame anyone
for tampering with his Dickensian novel. Ironically, around the time the
film went into production under the sure hand of Lasse Hallstrom, the
Seattle Repertory Co. was presenting a two-part, six-hour play that
captured the novel.
Irving distilled the essence of the story and abandoned several
prominent plots for this two-hour film. Yet, as screenwriter, he does
manage to pack in quite a lot: abortion, love, death and the search to
find one's place in the world.
Dr. Wilbur Larch (Michael Caine, in a creditable American accent) runs
the St. Cloud Orphanage where one particular charge, Homer Wells (a fine
Tobey Maguire), proves difficult to place. Eventually, Homer becomes
Larch's surrogate son, training under him and assisting in delivering
babies, yet refusing to participate in the good doctor's activity of
performing illegal abortions.
When a spirited young couple, Candy and Wally (a terrific Charlize
Theron and a blandly underused Paul Rudd) arrive to partake of Larch's
services, Homer impulsively decides to accompany them. Thus, he begins
an odyssey that lands him a job working for Wally's mother at her apple
orchard alongside a band of migrant fruit pickers (played by Delroy
Lindo, K. Todd Freeman, Heavy D and Erykah Badu). Over the course of a
year's time, Homer truly comes of age by falling in love with Candy and
facing a momentous decision that alters his life.
As he has proven in earlier films, director Hallstrom has an affinity
for tales centered on young men, and he once again directs with skill
and grace. Oliver Stapleton's cinematography lends a clean, handsome
look to the film.
The performances from the principals are uniformly terrific, with
Maguire fulfilling his potential as a leading man, Caine offering a fine
turn as Larch and Lindo crafting a chilling portrait of a man with
secrets. Although there is a slightly rushed feeling to the ending, and
it does not compare with a reading of the novel, ''The Cider House Rules''
proves engaging and entertaining.

Reading's joint player-manager needs two goals to equal Colin Clarke's record of 13 in 38 matches. Although he will be 36 next month he said: "I will carry on playing until I fall over. When you reach my age every game is a bonus, but a lot of players are persuaded to retire too early. John Aldridge is still knocking in the goals at 37."

Why does Butterfly allow Pinkerton to abuse her?
1 Answer | Add Yours
This is a great question. However, some reflection will help tremendously. Culture certainly has a role to play here, as Japan traditionally espouses a submissive role to women in society. So, when Pinkerton, not only a man, but a foreign man with authority and power, enters into a relationship with Butterfly, there is a commonsense submission that Butterfly shows. The whole relationship is rooted in inequality.
Another important consideration is the age of Butterfly. She is only fifteen years old. This is probably the most significant point to keep in mind. She is only a girl. She is infatuated with B.F. Pinkerton. The age gap causes trust and subservience. In short, all structures of power are on Pinkerton's side. The only power that Butterfly sadly possesses is the power over her life. So, in the final act, she does what she has the power to do. She commits suicide.

Hong Kong has 1,100 people who sleep on the streets. All have been offered alternative accommodation by my department. During last week's cold spell, one street sleeper died. He was a drug abuser who had chosen to move out of his family home.
Our social security system in Hong Kong is not rudimentary. Those supported by it are not in "unbearable poverty". Over the past three years the average payments to a single social security customer have increased by 29 per cent in real terms. The current payment, at pounds 220 per month, is broadly equivalent to the UK old-age pension rate. Total expenditure on social security in Hong Kong has doubled over the past three years.
While Hong Kong is not a welfare state - nor will it become one - the Hong Kong government cares for the welfare of our citizens.
Yours sincerely,
Ian Strachan

What's a debt consolidation loan?
Debt consolidation is when you apply for a loan to pay for your existing loans. This consolidates multiple credits so you only need to pay one creditor for the whole amount you borrowed from several creditors.

Ever since the fall of Saddam's regime in March 2003, the Chaldean church authorities with the assistance of some Assyrian political parties have been working around the clock to destroy the Assyrian identity, by changing our ancient national Assyrian name to a combined religious name, ChaldoAssyrian. Their selling pitch to achieve their unholy and unethical plan was because they claimed that the Chaldean Catholic Church has a much bigger population than the rest of the Assyrian denominations in Iraq. Their false claim of 850,000 (sometimes a million) Chaldeans in Iraq, has been exposed.
According to statistics released by CNEWA (Catholic Near East Welfare Association) in July 2005, there are only 203,697 Chaldeans living in Iraq! These newly found statistics were exposed on AssyriaSat this week.
30% of the 203,697 Chaldeans in Iraq are intelligent and educated enough to distinguish between their national identity and their church denomination, and identify themselves as Assyrians. That leaves only 142,587 Assyrians in Iraq who identify themselves by their church denomination, as Chaldeans. There is also an unknown number out of the 142,587 individuals who also identify themselves as Arab Christians or Kurdish Christians, depending on the circumstances.
The proud Assyrian people are honored to have maintained their historical Assyrian identity, even when they had no reason to doubt the false claims of the Chaldeans. The release of these statistics at this critical time in our history is yet another proof that God protects the people who called after His own name, Ashur, and intends for the Assyrians to remain the few but the proud, and exposes those who are in fact few, but so ashamed once their lies become public.

Linksys EA9200 Review
The Linksys EA9200 scores top points for its ultra-fast Internet speed, dedicated and powerful signal strength, and a compact design that fits just about any place. Priced higher than some of its counterparts, it is perfect for any site where multiple connections need to be managed.
The Linksys EA9200 is quite compact and saves ample space. The black router has up to 6 antennas. Of the 6 antennas, three are fitted internally and the remaining three, externally.
It is one of the few tri-band routers available on the market. It comes with the standard dual-band network frequencies, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. However, the 5Ghz band contains a Broadcom 5G XStream Wi-Fi chip that incorporates an extra 5Ghz band. Unlike the standard dual-band routers, the tri-band router offers one 2.4 Ghz band and two 5Ghz bands simultaneously. The 2.4 GHz network is capable of transferring data at speed up to 600 Mbps while the 5 GHz offers support for up to 1300Mbps of data transfer. Combine the two frequencies and you get a blazing-fast speed of up to 3200 Mbps, making it the ideal choice for anyone with high Internet connection need.
Owing to the 6 antennas found in Linksys EA9200, there are 6 simultaneous data streams, which allows for a vast number of devices to be connected to the router, with every connected user receiving powerful resources to stay connected and transfer data without impacting the activities of other connected users. Individual speed and performance remains undeterred, irrespective of the amount of data actually transferred.
1 GHz dual-core processor ensures that the routing device delivers efficient performance and manages connected devices across USB ports, Wi-Fi and Ethernet seamlessly. In fact, the router actually comes equipped with three other processors in addition to 1 GHz dual-core processor, making it practically a penta-core processor with high reliability and seamless performance.
Four gigabit Ethernet ports and two USB devices allow users to connect multiple devices, such as laptops, tablets, scanners, printers and external storage devices. Of the two USB ports featured in Linksys EA9200, one is USB 2.0 port while the other is USB 3.0 port. The USB 3.0 port is up to 10 times faster than the 2.0 version. Data can be easily shared across connected devices via any of the two ports.
The beamforming feature is also present on the router, which enables it to direct signals to a connected device rather than simply transmitting signals in all directions. Once a device is connected to the Linksys EA9200, it immediately locates the device and sends out focused signals in order to boost signal strength and enhance the user's experience.
You can complete the setup online using a Web browser. Another option is to use the software CD that comes with the router. The administrator can manage networks, access data and change parental controls remotely. Restrictions can be placed on certain devices. You can also use the guest networks to limit access and privileges to certain users.
The Linksys EA9200 is a wonderful option for homeowners with high connectivity needs. It is also a handy device for connecting multiple devices to the Internet. While some users may be put off with the high price tag, the router makes up for it in terms of impressive bandwidth speeds.
User Reviews
Submitted By: Dexter
Expected great things from this router because of the price (highest priced router right now) and the brand. To say that the router didn't live up to the expectations would be an understatement. This router is outperformed by my old N900 Netgear. The highest speed I get is 2Mbps, that is pathetic. This must be a firmware problem, I don't think the hardware is that bad.
Submitted By: Eric
If you're looking for greater Wi-Fi speed for a number of devices, an AC3200 router might be just what you need. The latest advancement in routers, the AC3200 standard means that a router can have one broadcast in the 2.4Ghz band and two in the 5Ghz band. Linksys has attempted to take full advantage of this idea since it allows for more users and faster speeds in the 5Ghz range, but its first attempt doesn't quite hit the mark.
The new EA9200 comes with four gigabit Ethernet ports, a USB 2.0 port as well as a USB 3.0 port, an Internet port, and a reset button all located on the back of the router. It has three external antennas combined with three internal ones, and the right side of the router holds the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button along with a button that lets you enable or disable Wi-Fi.
The critics say: good, but overpriced
CNET's Dong Ngo wrote, "It's good because the new router will not throttle fast 5Ghz clients to slower speeds for compatibility. It's bad, though, because it makes the EA9200 much more expensive than competing devices without delivering noticeably better Wi-Fi performance than the (Linksys) WRT1900AC." Unless you have a lot of people using 5Ghz, he said, buyers are better off saving their money and buying a slightly less powerful router.
The user interface and ease of installation impressed PCMag.com's John Delaney, who had his new router up and running within five minutes. But he also noted serious drop-offs in Wi-Fi speed compared to its competitors; he noted that the EA9200 provides outstanding 5GHz throughput performance and relatively fast NAS read/write speeds, but it's expensive and performance drops quickly as you move further away from the router.
User reviews: decent, but problems with basic performance
Linksys has always been known for its user-friendly router interface. Punch in the router IP address at 192.168.1.1, log on with the appropriate password (usually "admin") and make your adjustments. The layout is simple and effective, and most users will have no problems navigating through the interface.
But for a high-priced router like this one, people expect a certain amount of reliability and performance. Unfortunately, one problem keeps cropping up again and again according to buyers: the router signal keeps dropping out. This doesn't seem to be a single device problem, either; numerous reviewers on Amazon complained about multiple devices being disconnected at the same time from the router, and for no apparent reason. Range is also questionable in the 5Ghz band as well, as buyers argued that with six antennas it should be much better than it is.
Another flaw users pointed out was although there is a guest network setup in the firmware, there's no encryption for it and no ability to generate activity logs. For a router that costs over $200, this is a major flaw; guest network encryption is standard on Linksys' competitors in this range, as well as activity logs.
The verdict: This is Linksys' first try at building a tri-band router, and it shows. It's not as if Linksys doesn't know how to build good routers, because they've done so in the past—but this particular one seems to be a misfire. It's not a bad router, but it's not particularly good either.
For the price, it needs to be better than good and with a lack of some basic features that its rivals in the category possess, it's not worth laying out the cash. Linksys either needs to go back to the drawing board and fix the problems, or lower the price so that expectations aren't so high. In any case, unless you're running a multitude of devices at the same time, you're better off going with a less expensive, more stable router.

Megamaster Pizza Oven
Discover our Ceramic Megamaster Pizza Oven with Stainless Steel Finish
Does it feel like the perfect night for a juicy pizza, but you just do not feel like leaving the house? Of course, you can order a pizza for delivery and there are many options to choose from, but will you really enjoy it as much as one that you can create yourself? Pizzas are a popular food choice for their versatility. While they are made for sharing – which makes them perfect for social gatherings – they can also be enjoyed alone. If it is starting to feel like you need more pizza in your life, Megamaster can help you with that!
Nothing can quite beat the feeling of spending an evening in with the family or friends and knowing that you do not have to go out to find your favourite treat. Your very own Megamaster pizza oven can do all the hard work for you. In fact, it makes light work of pizza baking, because our pizza oven is not just another one of the myriad of typical products available on the market. Our product is special and we call it the MegaBox. It is a ceramic pizza oven baker box and is designed to bring the mouth-watering delights of a perfectly homemade pizza to your home and family. One of the things that makes our Megamaster pizza oven different from the rest is that it caters to aesthetics as well as functionality. You are certainly not going to be shy to show off your new pizza oven with its stainless steel finish, and you will have the peace of mind that its beauty is more than skin-deep.
You might be wondering how big you can make your pizzas with the MegaBox and we are pleased to inform you that you will be able to cater to many sizes, big or small; the choice is yours! The dimensions of the ceramic pizza oven box are 523 cm x 563 cm x 228 cm and it weighs in at just 10 kg, so you should not struggle to get it set up either.
Of course, you will need to make sure that you keep an eye your pizza while it is cooking. The ceramic MegBox makes this a simple task by allowing you to easily and effectively monitor the heat with its reliable temperature gauge. Another concern when cooking pizzas at home is the risk of uneven cooking. Nothing is worse than a half-cooked pizza and with our Megamaster pizza oven, you can rest easy knowing that the ceramic stone lining evenly distributes the heat for a perfectly cooked pizza, every time.
If you are already impressed by what you have heard, wait until you see how quick and easy it is to assemble the pizza oven. It can be assembled and ready for first use in minutes.
