She continues:
After two years of watching politicians on both sides of the fence squabble and prevaricate and fail to improve their lives, Egyptians appear to be rejecting representative democracy, without having had much of a chance to participate in it. In a country with an increasingly repressive regime and no democratic culture to draw on, protest has become an end in itself—more satisfying than the hard work of governance, organizing, and negotiation. This is politics as emotional catharsis, a way to register rage and frustration without getting involved in the system.
It would be a mistake to attribute the ineffectiveness of Egypt's opposition to the purely personal failings and intellectual blind spots of the people currently prominent in its ranks. We are looking at something more deeply rooted and harder to fix. An intense rage and dissatisfaction with the status quo without any idea in the world how to make anything better: this is the typical condition of revolutionary movements in countries without a history of effective governance or successful development. It is also often typical of political movements in countries dominated by a youth bulge. The unhappiest countries are the places where this large youth bulge comes up against failed governance and curdled hope. Think Pakistan, where a comprehensive failure of civil and military leadership is turning one of the world's most beautiful countries into one of its most miserable ones.
Inexperienced 18 years olds who have grown up in corrupt, poorly governed societies, and been educated in trashy schools by incompetent hacks know very well that the status quo is unacceptable. Young people who know they are being ripped off and abused are typically not very patient. Throw in healthy doses of sexual frustration and contempt for an establishment that has lost confidence in its own capacity to lead, and you have a cocktail much more explosive than anything Molotov knew.

Thank you all for following and you all rock!! ♥
Triangle lines. Here are some triangles with some lines. My black nail art polish is getting kind of gloopy so it isn't as crisp as I would have liked. I see a new one in my future…
Polish used: American Apparel L'Esprit & Office
Wavy lines in blocks of color. Here are some wavy lines angled with blocks of color.
Polish used: American Apparel Poppy, California Trooper, Malibu Green & African Violet, Brucci JT's Ocean Blue, Zoya Juicy & Pippa
Water marbling with swirls of green. I love water marbling. Yes, it is messy and can be unpredictable, but that is part of the fun, no? This time, I used a teal green, light green, grey, black, and some fabulous sparkly pink. To mix it up, I exchanged the pink for the gold on the ring fingers.
You all know I find it so difficult and awkward to photograph my right hand, but because it looked so different (and awesome!) here it is:
I love how the ring finger came out on the left and the middle on the right.
Polish used: American Apparel Malibu, Office, and Echo Park, Zoya Roxy, Wet n Wild Black, and Mattese Elite Cream Dream (on the ring fingers)
Lots of green dots. Many shades of green over grey dots - and a little sparkle too.
Polish used: American Apparel California Trooper, Echo Park, Office, & Malibu Green, Brucci Gianna's "Rockin" Blue, and Zoya Ivanka
Little Bunny Foo Foo. Cute little bunny hiding in some grass with a dash of sparkle. Maybe good for some Easter looks?
Polish used: American Apparel Hunter, California Trooper, & Rouge, and Zoya Ivanka
Split pea. I decided to try out the Split Nail Trend and while I didn't have as much time to dedicate to this as I would have liked, I think it didn't turn out too bad. Totally nailed the pointer finger.
Polish used: American Apparel Malibu Green
70s inspired design in greens and grey. These kind of remind me of some design prints from the 70s.
Polish used: American Apparel Echo Park, Hunter, & Malibu Green, and Brucci Gianna's "Rockin" Blue
Green crosshatch. Reminds me of those plastic containers that house summer berries.
Green swirls for St. Patrick's Day. After this I put some gold glitter near my cuticles but it didn't photograph well.
Polish used: American Apparel Malibu Green & Hunter

It's a secret formula - like the ones for Coke & Pepsi, locked away in a vault somewhere in the Florida Everglades. :D
Seems like an excellent rep system; nice and elegant. I suppose it's a vBulletin plug in and not available to us cheapos with free forums! lol
In the FAQs, the icon indicating reps is a scale. The one showing in the member information on each post is a star. Might want to make them match! :D
You might consider changing the following though:
Register Date Factor: for every 60 days, user gains one point of rep factor
Post Count Factor: for every 50 posts, user gains one point of rep factor
Rep Point Factor: for every 50 points of rep, user gains one point of rep factor
Boy. That could lead to some serious rep inflation. Seems to me that rep is supposed to indicate the community's regard for you, not be directly scaled to time registered or how prolifically you post. I couldn't link to the faq but isn't it presently 1 point every year? That seems like a good number to me...rewards you for sticking around and remaining active, but not excessively so. Is there currently rep based on post count?
Don't think so mearrin. Besides I repeat RobA's statement "WHY?". To be honest just look at the post by post comments more then the rep.
Despite not being active for a few months, I can answer this question. Rep is based on number of years since you've become a member, number of total posts, and the number of rep points granted to you by other members. So, yes, your total post count affects how much rep I grant when I give someone Rep. Last I checked, I grant something like 12 Rep whenever I give it out, whereas 'newbies' who have enough of their own rep to grant rep, only give 1 point of rep. The base number goes up once you reach 50 and again at 100 rep. Perhaps it still goes up with more Rep.
Let me experiment, Geamon currently has 34 Rep. Now I'm going to give him Rep and see how much I grant... now he has 48 Rep, so that means I grant 14 Rep, everytime I do.
I guess I forgot that I've hit another anniversary since I first joined, so I've been a member since June 2007... the more years go by, the more I can 'bonk' you with...
The REP FAQ link does not work.
To see Your rep, Look up top and clicky on the " Settings " in the top right under your name. For me it says "Latest Reputation Received (22 point(s) total)" and that both Lukc and Jaxilon gave me rep and how much.
I've updated the OP to include Liking for Rep. Clicking like on a post should also apply reputation.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Bullying is rampant, kids overrun the classroom, and the resource teacher doesn't return phone calls or emails.
It seems like all the "problem" kids get lumped in together so one teacher is forced to manage and entire classroom of behavior issues with little actual support. This kind of chaotic environment makes it even harder for kids with learning and attention issues to focus.
I have been here just about a year with my kids. I found the teachers to be very forthcoming and the administration easy to work with. Some of the kids are rowdy but that is to be expected with the age group. The staff works very hard! I love this school
This school has been a terrible experience for my kids. My two struggling children are not getting the help they need, and my other child is bored. The bully issues are rampant, the oversight of the teachers over the students is non-existent, and the principal is neither responsive or forthcoming. They claim there is a bully form that can be used, but how exactly does a piece of paper fix an obviously ongoing problem. The in-class behavior the students are allowed to get away with is terrible, and the teachers, no matter what they spout off, are just teaching the kids to one test or another and nothing else. Who cares about helping the kids think and learn when we can push them through the assembly line to make our AIMS scores higher so we look better. Nevermind the ongoing problems.
I have a new student to Desert Meadows this year and can't believe how professional and polite the staff is. My son is in 7th grade and I am amazed by the dedication of his teachers to help him become acquainted with the school. He comes home each day with homework and is eager to do it! I am looking forward to a great year at Desert Meadows!
I had an excellent experience with my children the first week of school. There were lots of friendly people to assist me on the first day and my kids came home excited about their teachers. I even had a good experience working with the principal when I had a question about my youngest ones teacher.
Sadly the Principal and VP have lost touch with the staff and the teachers at this point. Students now attack teachers but the staff doesn't want to deal with the parents so they do nothing. Sadly, this school was so promising, but now it's just a plain old school of sub par factors now. Glad we moved our kids out of here....
My son loved Meadows from k - 3rd grade ('07 - '12). His teachers were wonderful. Our family was very involved in the Parent Teacher Student Association. Meadows teachers are exceptionally involved - but then they don't get much parental help - so pick up that slack. Most outstanding Bully issues need to be put squarely in Laveen Elementary District's (LED) and the district's voters laps. Student supplies and extra school staffing were drastically cut when LED budget overrides were voted no on a year ago. Lost by just a handful of votes. Adding to the resulting classroom crowding pressure is the lack of administrative continuity. LED assigns Desert Meadows and Mr. Pries a NEW vice principal EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Some were experienced, some raw VP trainees. They do their best but the kids and parent do not know them. It is a Vice Principals job to handle student discipline issues. Principals manage teachers and are spokesmen for the school community. Don't get me wrong its a good school - but it is not perfect. It could be great. I challenge each Meadows parent to volunteer in a classroom, the cafeteria or recess yard just 3 hours of time each year.
We are very glad that this is our daughter's last year at Desert Meadows. She has endured a lot of bullying while attending this school. The teachers have done little to stop it when we have complained and the principal does not return phone calls or emails but has someone else handle the problem, which is usually the assistant principal. It is amazing what you hear from other parents when you attend a sports event or any other program. There are a lot of parents who agree there is a bully problem, communication problem between teacher's and parents, and while the office staff is okay, the principal needs a stricter review of his performance. Bullying in any form should have a zero tolerance and teachers need to be sending students to the office, the office needs to be calling parents, and students need to be picked up and taken home if they are going to be continually disruptive and negative in classrooms. Some kids do want to learn even if they are not honors students.
My son has attented this school for 2 years and it has been a nightmare with all of the bulling, he is more advanced than the other kids and he has been harrasased by the other students since he was in 2nd grade and the teachers. The principal tries to put a stop to it but only for a short period of time and then it goes right back to the bulling. This school has made my son not want to go to school.
This is my kids' second year at Desert Meadows, and it's been a good school for us. They are currently in 7th grade and 2nd grade. All the teachers they've had have been really good. Ms. Zachary in 2nd grade is great! My 7th grader is in the honors program and is doing really well. The office staff is just okay. Anytime I've tried to contact the principal via e-mail or phone, I get a response from someone else or, more often, no response at all. But other than that, I would recommend this school.
Bar far one horrible school for my Kinder!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!! I have never had such a bad experience in a public school as I had. School Started August 9 and my child just went downhill since the first day of School Who treats Kinder as if they are in boot camp!!!!!!! I know I volunteered for the first 2 weeks, and teachers if they do not like your kid you better make sure that the teachers are not roomates because they will tag team your child!!!!!!!!!! I would not send a sack of Scorpions to Desert Meadow. Tried to get help with the Vice prinicpal and the Principal and was treated so badly and Talked down to. I cried. Got my daughter out as soon as I could. Get yours out too!!!!!
Desert Meadows has been a mixed bag for our son who attends there. He has a had very inexperienced teacher who was difficult to work with, rigid in classroom approaches, difficult to work with as a parent, and lacking in student empathy. This person also was extremely difficult to communicate with through any means, email, phone calls or in person. However, Mr. Priess, the principal, offset a good deal of our negativity with his support and his efforts to resolve the challenges with that teacher. During the new school year that just started,our son's new teacher is experienced, dedicated and very focused on results and communication with families. Our son is succeeding above our expectations, and enjoys going to school. We are very pleased that such efforts went into taking a negative experience and transforming it into a positive outcome. For parents who are less than pleased, we would suggest speaking directly with the principal. Also, the new assistant principal, Ms. Epacs, has also gone above and beyond this year in making our son's experience a positive one. Desert Meadows certainly is moving in the right direction, though there is room to grow.
This school is HORRIBLE!! I moved to the area in the middle of the school year last year. My son was enrolled in 3rd grade at the time, I went to enroll him and they set me free on the campus while school was in session to go see his "new classroom" which ended up not being the correct one. My son would come home ever day crying because he was being bullied by peers and older children at the school. He said his teacher cussed a lot and yelled at the class. I had SEVERAL issues with the front office staff, they are very rude and seem more interested in gossiping in the office together instead of taking care of the parents/students in the office. I ended up taking my son out of that school and enrolling him somewhere else. When I tried to get his paperwork from the school the same front office staff would not fax the info to the new school and told me I was going to have to wait until she was ready to send it. It was a bad experience all around.
Desert Meadows is a work in progess. BUT, Ms. Warren, my son's kindergarten teacher is the best. She cares about the kids and teaches them well above what a K-class should be. I know my son is getting a great education with her.
I am very disappointed in DM. My four year old kindergartner was placed in the wrong classroom all day and was reported absent by his original teacher. When I arrived at the school to pick up my child, NO had a clue where he was, because according to there records he never came to school. My child was found a hour after school was dismissed in what seemed to be a first grade classroom. DM offered no formal apologize for the terrible and terrifying error and has been very insensitive to the hole situation.
My son attended for his 5th grade year with Mr. Goldwasser. His progress was incredible and his teacher CARED... Awesome
My family has only been at this school since October but I am impressed. The focus is on student success. My son talks about goals and he likes his teacher. The campus is a nice place to visit. I am very pleased.
It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I write this review for Desert Meadows Elem. Everytime I drop my children off at school, Mr. Preis and Ms. Zembruski are always visible - before and after school. It makes me feel like my children are looked after, and they feel safe. My son loves Mr. Preis. He told me that he wants to be a principal when he grows up, 'Just like Mr. Preis, Mommy!' Continuing on; The school focuses on good behavior and delves out strong consequences for poor behavior if need be. Fortunately, we've not had to deal with consequences. We have had several good things come home with our children. I am a strong believer in complementing and encouraging children at young ages so that they will grow up to be learners as well as good people, just like Mr. Preis and Ms. Zembruski.
This is a great school. I love the way the teachers and school staff communicate with the students and parents. Mr. Pries is always around speaking with the kids.
I continue to be impressed by this school. We have been here since it opened and this year is the best yet. Most of the teachers are back and the office staff has really improved since the secretary left last year. I am also happy that it is a Performing Plus school for the second straight year.

The LSU Tigers (15-7, 4-5) men's basketball team looks to win their fourth game in their past five when they travel to College Station to take on the Texas A&M Aggies (13-10, 4-6) at 8:00 p.m. CT from Reed Arena. The game can be viewed online at ESPN3.
LSU is coming off an 87-80 victory over the Auburn Tigers on Feb. 8 when the frontcourt of Johnny O'Bryant III, Jordan Mickey and Jarell Martin played much better than they did in the Feb. 6 loss at Georgia.
This will be a test for LSU despite playing the Aggies who lost six of their last seven games. On the surface it would look like a layup for LSU, but Johnny Jones' team has struggled on the road this year.
LSU has dropped their last three road games and have not won on the road since they defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks (8-15, 1-9) by three on Jan. 11. In fact, LSU has two road wins this year by a combined two points. They won at Texas Tech 71-59 on Dec. 18 and are 2-5 on the year away from Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
With the Ole Miss Rebels losing to Alabama on Tuesday evening if LSU can defeat A&M they will move into third place in the SEC.
Despite the road woes by LSU this season, this is a perfect time for LSU to pick up a convincing win away from home with the Aggies playing poor of late and ranking 311th in the NCAA in scoring, 225th in rebounding and 255th in field goal percentage, this should be a Tiger win.
Prediction: LSU wins 84-66.

Clearing Bank Hannover (CBH), which offered clearing services for electricity and commodity traders, has gone into liquidation and returned its banking licence to BaFin – Germany's financial regulator.CBH, which is owned by three German banks - Commerzbank, Norddeutsche Landesbank and Vereins- und Westbank - was set up in 1998. The bank's energy clearing partners were brokers, GFI, Prebon Marshall Yamane and APB Energy Europe –which was bought out by Icap in October 2002.
An industry source said the continued success of CBH's German-based rival, the European Energy Exchange (EEX), was a significant reason behind the decision by CBH's owners to abandon the venture.
But CBH chairman Udo Ziegenhorn told RiskNews' sister publication Energy & Power Risk Management that low turnover and the withdrawal of US energy trading companies from Europe had had a negative impact on CBH's energy clearing business. Ziegenhorn declined to comment on how many traded megawatt hours were cleared on the exchange, but did say CBH is in talks with EEX to transfer existing contracts.
Norddeutsche Landesbank will take over CBH's agricultural clearing duties, Ziegenhorn added.

KOUTS | Blake Wallace woke up Saturday morning not even sure if he'd be able to give 100 percent at the Kouts Invitational.
He walked off the track with yet another school record.
Wallace shook off a recent bout of sickness to break his own school record in the 200-meter dash, crossing the finish line at 23.18 seconds and leading the Hawks to a second-place finish in the process.
Wallace also added a personal best in the long jump (20 feet, 2 1/2 inches) and a second-place finish in the 100 (11.6).
"I got sick two days ago after a track meet and I just didn't feel very good coming into today," Wallace said. "Things seemed to work out OK, however."
Hebron also got winning performances from David Lucas (300 hurdles) and Zac Frey (shot put), but couldn't do enough to overtake the dominant Bremen squad. The Lions finished with 172 points while the Hawks finished a distant second with 94 points.
"I didn't know what to expect and to come in second, I'm very proud of the guys," Hebron coach Mike DeFries said. "We lost so much from last season and we didn't have a number of our guys here today with volleyball going on."
The South Central girls had a full team on Saturday, but many of the Satellites had their minds in other places. With prom happening just a few hours after the conclusion of the meet, most of the Satellites athletes blazed through their events and then sprinted to the parking lot.
Taylor Johnson had a full day, winning the long jump and 100 hurdles while taking second in the 300 hurdles and 400.
"We had to do a lot of planning ahead of time and shake some things up," South Central coach Rachel Werner said. "This was a good day for us. We set a few personal bests and even with a big social event coming up, we were focused."
The Satellites challenged Bremen (159 points) for much of the day, but ultimately came up short and took second place with 124 points.
"We tried to keep the mood light, but when it was time to perform, it was time for the girls to do their jobs," Werner said. "These kids all worked together today and I'm incredibly proud of what they were able to do today."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Rockford Fosgate Punch P1S4-15 by Jo Greene What's a component sub and why would I want one? A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back. Rockford Fosgate showcases their fanatical commitment to sonic excellence in the Punch Series of speakers, amps, and subs. If you like to listen to potent, powerful music — and feel it too — Punch components will give you impressive sound that'll stand out in a crowd. Engineers at Rockford Fosgate designed the P1S4-15 15" subwoofer to dish out the kind of powerful low end you crave in your ride. Its responsive paper cone is reinforced with the same Kevlar® fibers used in bulletproof vests so you get the best of both worlds — warm bass that's exceptionally hard-hitting. Rockford Fosgate uses a new technique to attach the oversized rubber surround to the cone that increases available cone area up to 25%, so this sub can push more air for even bigger bass. Read more The P1S4-15 sub features an extended pole piece and bumped backplate that leaves more room for heavy excursion, so it'll hit deeper lows without "bottoming out." This sub works equally well in a sealed or ported enclosure, so you can choose the kind of bass you want for your system. To drive this single subwoofer, we recommend a mono amplifier rated between 200 and 375 watts RMS at 4 ohms.

That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Enclosure Compatibility Features Overview: The Rockford Fosgate Punch P1S4-15 is a 15-inch subwoofer with a single 4Ω voice coil. The sub features a StampCast steel frame, quick-release compression terminals, a Kevlar fiber reinforced paper cone, and NBR surround (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber). An anodized aluminum voice coil former and spider venting help keep the subwoofer cool. Steel Basket: The P1S4-15 subwoofer features a StampCast steel basket for added rigidity. Compression Terminals: The P1S4-15 features spring post terminals which accommodate speaker wire up to 10 gauge. CEA-2031 Compliant: Power handling on the P1S4-15 subwoofer conforms to CEA-2031 industry standards. This means the subwoofer has the capacity to handle power under continuous demand, not instantaneous power handling, that over time, can damage voice coils. FlexFit Basket: The Flex Fit frame utilizes slots (where possible) instead of single screw sized holes; allowing slight adjustment of the speaker when mounted. Trim Ring: To improve the cosmetic look, a decorative trim ring is included that mounts over the flange of the woofer. When using the PVC trim ring the woofer is first mounted with four screws, then the ring is placed on top of the woofer, aligning the final four holes of the woofer with ring. The other four screws are used for these holes to mount the ring and woofer to the enclosure. The trim ring increases the mounting height of the woofer to 7/8 of an inch. Enclosure Compatibility Sealed Box: Rockford recommends a sealed enclosure with an optimum internal volume of 1.58 cubic feet (from 1.3 to 3.5 cubic feet is acceptable). Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable to all types of music. Ported Box: Rockford recommends a ported enclosure with an internal volume of 2.66 cubic feet using one 4" diameter x 8" long port; this yields a tuning frequency of 34.4 Hz. Ported (or vented) enclosures typically provide better overall efficiency than sealed so they are suitable for use with smaller amplifiers, giving you more bass output from less power. However, this efficiency comes at the expense of very low frequency output (below 34 Hz).

While it's possible to make many comments about "how things could
have been done better" on this project, I want to take the time to
commend you for taking time to ask the question. Many "big company"
and/or "big government" projects happen all the time, with no one
even asking the community for input or assistance. So, while the
roll out was not trouble free, your very public effort to help is
a step above for this type of project.
I do hope the efforts to make this service more RFC and BCP friendly,
as well as doing generally "good things" will continue. While I'm
sure here many think they could do a better job, which may even be
true for some specific issues, the challenges of launching a service
under a government contract are large, and only compounded by it
being the lead story on nearly every new network.
Now, if only congress, the FTC, and the FCC could do for spam what
they are doing for the telephone.

Did you?

I was surprised when my dog or cat had nothing to do with this toy. It just sat there on the floor. I don't think my dog liked the texture and it didn't feel comfortable in his mouth.
Pros: durable
Cons: dog didn't like it

I've been singing this song for the last three days. It's a newer hymn based on The Valley of Vision prayer "Regeneration." The words and music are by Bob Kauflin. You can hear the song sung by seven-thousand people here.
O great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore
I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear Your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven's joys
Then Your Spirit gave me life
Opened up Your Word to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace
Help me now to live a life
That's dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your Name through me

Asus offers Brits Eee PC 900 battery swap plan
Asus has bowed to consumer pressure and agreed to swap Eee PC 900 buyers' old, 4400mAh batteries for a new 5800mAh model - and for a payment of £11.75. In a statement issued late last week, Asus said the battery swap programme would commence on 10 June. It also said it had posted a Bios update that would eke out the 900's …
eee girl
it seems asus also responded to the reg readers request that it add more eee girls to its line up :)
mines the one with the corkscrew, cause i'd open her a bottle anytime
Better battery good, paying bad
But now to the important matters,
New girl doesn't work for me. Far too thin, arms like twiglets.
I will now buy an Elonex one in protest. Oddly thin woman who probably would never allow the calories of a glass of wine to enter her body, you have lost Asus a customer.
I demand better looking models, with more meat on their bones.
Screw the battery - let's focus on the real story
I approve of new Eee PC girl, and it looks like she's on the way to getting drunk.
Never mind the beach..
bring on the Chateauneuf do Pape...
Nice one asus
I'm glad they have decided to do this - I was a bit cheesed that I could only get an hour and a half out of a full charge!
Another 17 quid on top of hte price, puts it beyond being cute, cheap and ultra useful to the realms of a normal laptop which usually have bigger screens as well.
Not impressed.
Strange World..
Where Asus can do battery swapouts for £17.50, whilst all other laptop manufacturers want over hundred quid for a replacement battery.. My HP battery for example, was £140
Gee thanks Asus
Yup, I can't wait to post off my battery, then sit around waiting for a month while Asus pull their finger out and get around to sending me my replacement. If they can get enough stock into the UK to deal with the replacements.
Yup, an ultra-portable laptop with no battery is going to be really useful thanks Asus.
Also, the announcement I've seen is that the cost is £10 + VAT (or is El Reg adding the cost of the special delivery, to prevent Asus claiming they never received the battery for replacement)
Oddly thin woman...
In my experience, oddly thin women will allow many a thing to enter their body, but lets not go there, eh? I'll go as far as to say Mars Bar Party.
Strange decision by Asus, but perhaps shows how much profit [or little, more to the point] they are making on the Eee-range in the UK/EU if they are resorting to this as a 'response' to the comments from many quarters.
Perhaps they are cutting it closer to the bone in the UK/EU than they would like?
I'd still have one though. And Eee-PC too. Arf.
Steven R
2 year warranty for 701's as well ...
The 701's have a 2 year warranty on the hardware anyway, so giving it to the 900's is no great extra (although the cost differential between a 701 and a 900 is!)
However IIRC the battery on the 701 only has a 6 month warranty ... which means that if the 900's have a 2 year battery would represent an improvement but I bet they don't 8-)
Maths cock-up: should be £11.75 - fixed now.
good move.
Asus once again showing what a good company they are.
tho i don't think they had much choice. not doing this at this time would have been so the wrong thing to do, just as this space is opening up.
What about the Nokia N800/N810
I don't own either, but I see the Nokia N810 and the Eee serving the same purpose. Portable, small computer to access email, web with the ability to run other applications.
In my head I'm going more towards the N810 than the Eee.
Got the 700
Don't see the need for the 900 - the extra £s don't seem worth it to me. But that said, these eeePC are superb bits of kit, even with the Xandros Linux which I haven't bothered to replace with XP, its quite functional enough out of the box. Particularly loved the OOTB Huawei 3G/HSDPA modem support which took all of 90 seconds to configure.
Asus Stick Girl doesn't do an awful lot for me, I much prefer their beach babe with the cleavage sufficient to hold a spare battery. And didn't anyone bother to tell her not to wave a glass of wine over a keyboard!
That said, gotta love the Asus babes
Grey imports?
I bought an Asus 900 when I noticed that the El Reg review back in April linked to a supplier who claimed to have them in stock.
Interestingly it arrived with a 5800mAh battery but an American keyboard so I suspect it was some kind of dodgy, grey import ;-)
Nice box, very happy with it. I also picked up a 6600mAh from Amazon UK which seems to work fine (though I fully expect it to explode any day now)
New eee girl
I'm liking the new eee girl - she may be a bit on the super-model thin side but she looks a lot more happy and friendly that the beach girl. And considerably less badly Photoshopped to boot!
New eee girl
Bet she's got a nice Asus!
wtf??? only 2years???
I thought all Electrical products sold within the EU, had under EU directive to be sold with a 3 year warranty.
This should still apply under UK law, which can demand upto 6years for large electrical appliances.
Mines the one with the warranty disclaimer... all goods are covered under warranty as far as the shop sales counter exit....
Please ask them about the old battery
What can they possibly do with the old battery? It's a sealed unit and it's used - so they can't sell them on. All they will be left with is a pile of toxic waste to dispose of.
So, surely the only conclusion that can be drawn is that Asus are being deliberately bloody-minded to make what appears to be a "generous" offer much less attractive than it would first appear. Fewer people will take it up and it will cost Asus less. Job done.
And as for the warranty, well that's nothing more than weasel words: Italy is getting a 5800mAh battery (the largest) and reports from France suggest it is getting a 5200mAh battery - still larger than the one the UK has been shafted with. And they will all get the 2-year warranty.
And how much does it weigh?
Another thing for you to look at, Tony: Asus trumpets the fact that the 900 weighs "0.99kg", but that is with the 5800 battery - the crap UK battery actually weighs more, bringing the weight of the unit to more than 1kg.
So, can you ask Asus how it can claim that the 5800mAh battery isn't universal whilst also claiming that the unit weighs less than 1kg, when with the 4400mAh battery it weighs MORE than 1kg?
Well after The Planet server debarcle all I can say this that my little Eee PC has been a complete and utter life saver .... The battery lasted for ever .. I just don't see the issue ... stunning little box with a more than adequate 2 year warranty battery ...
battery smattery ...... !
more info
I've just spoken to asus on their 0870 premium rate number to be told the deal is not available until the end of the month and will be £15 quid.

Bubonic plague, the most devastating disease suffered by the Western world, eliminated fully one third of Europe's population between the years 1340 and 1400. In several hard-hit places, entire villages vanished. The waters of Cologne, Germany, were thought to possess near-miraculous healing powers against this all-consuming scourge, and in subsequent years that city rivaled Paris as a leading maker of fragrant liquids and lotions. Eau de Cologne, first concocted in 1709, became all the rage among well-heeled lords and ladies across the continent, with a single vial costing the equivalent of half the annual salary of a civil servant. Petitgrain oil—an essential ingredient in this popular, aromatic blend—continues to offer numerous healing applications.
What does it do?
Calming and soothing, massage oils containing petitgrain comfort body and mind, banishing depression, anxiety, panic and anger in the process. A marvelous treatment for insomnia, petitgrain works on nervous exhaustion and high-stress conditions. Bringing on a mellow physical state and frame of mind, this delightful herb is known to reduce rapid heartbeat and make breathing easier. Aromatherapists use petitgrain to help overcome addictions.
About the herb
The essential oil of petitgrain—literally, "little grains"—was originally steam distilled from small (petit), unripe, cherry-sized oranges: thus the name. At present, this fragrant fluid is extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree. Two other essential oils—orange and the ever-charming neroli—are additional gifts from this tree, with the former derived from the peel of the fruit and the latter coming straight from heaven via the blossoms!
Recommended dosage
Creams and lotions offering the promise of healthy skin through the magic of petitgrain help to clear up acne, pimples and other skin conditions. Soaps enhanced with petitgrain work wonders on greasy skin, thus helping to prevent the formation of blemishes. Safe for children (but do exercise caution when pregnant), a few drops of petitgrain oil placed in a diffuser at bedtime calms your toddler and invites the sandman to paint the night in unforgettable flavors and colors!

B'nai Tzedek News
Sukkot, coming to a galaxy near you Wednesday night. Click here to watch the CBT Sukkah go up.
Starting in the Fall of 2014, Congregation B'nai Tzedek (CBT) is launching a one-year pilot program to encourage new families to build connections to other young families, to the B'nai Tzedek community, and to the greater Washington-area Jewish community. To achieve this, the members of CBT have created an endowment fund to reduce preschool tuition for new CBT families by 50% in exchange for a commitment to perform 10 hours/month of meaningful activities within CBT. Future funding is dependent upon the success of the program. We are very excited about this new initiative and hope our current families will help spread the word to friends and family. Existing GECC families will receive a 50% reduction in enrichment and after-care classes next year, as our preschool expands to offer full-day coverage. Please click here for more information on the Community Builders Program. Click here to read an article from the January 16th issue of The Washington Jewish Week on B'nai Tzedek's new program.
GECC 2014-15 Enrollment is now open! Click here for enrollment applications and descriptions of our full day options
The Bernice and Mannie Rabovsky Religious School registration for 2014-2015 is open!
Please check this space whenever there is a question about the impact of inclement weather on our programming.
Please contact the synagogue office for a copy of Cantor Kapell's CD Tefillah B'Yachad (Together We Pray), a collection of Shabbat melodies. The CD is available free of charge to all B'nai Tzedek members.

Doing some sketching for class #drawing #art
Just came across this drawing i started over the summer but never finished… #drawing #art #nickjonas
For my typography class we had to create a typeface using the website fontstruct.com. I'm actually quite proud of how my font turned out. I am horrible at naming things so I called it "Long&Thin." You can download it for free here.
