I saw this player showing a movie on a demo TV at Walmart last week and thought this picture is real crisp and sharp like true HD. So I got one to compare with my Progressive scan RCA. The picture is better, more so on some movies. The sound is awesome compared to my other player. The 5 disks are nice but you have to push the buttons on the machine to open them. It does close with the remote. When you turn on the machine it wants to load and play the last movie you were watching instead of letting you decide. Also if you stop the movie or turn the machine off and you haven't bookmarked the spot you were at, it starts from the beginning. My other one starts where you stopped it even after removing it and putting it back in. But other than those minor aggravations the player does do a good job. So far I am pleased with the player.
my roommate and i got one of these and out of the box, 2 of the trays would not work at all.picture was lousey on the hdtv.we took it back and exchanged it for a more expensive unit.dont buy this.
Very fragile product. Had to us Zoom to get DVD picture to fit the screen and then Zoom X 2 info. stayed on the screen during movie. Very annoying.
Returned to Walmart and purchased a Panasonic DVD-S53. Picture is great without any annoying problems.
I truely think a soda can with something on top of it would be stronger than the outside of this DVD upconverter player. I purchased this because of the 5 disc changer. DON"T , I took it out of the box and put it back in. Never unwrapped... I really thought I would dent it if I held it too tight. I have a panasonic singal disc, I purchased from Wal*Mart 8 months ago. I'll stick with it, it's the best, and I will just change my DVD's every time.
the one i bought did not last 2 days,it froze up and the only way to get it to respond was to unplug power cord and plug it back in. then it would freeze up again. took it back to walmart for return of money. save up your money and buy a more exspensive and decent one!
I would not recommend this product. It will not random play and will not automatically go to the next cd in the player. I would return it, but that is also a pain, the walmart store in Pahrump does not carry the item and had to have it site to site delivered. That in itself is inconvenient.
This is not a good product. The player itself is very, VERY loud while spinning the discs from trays 2-5. Seriously, it's so loud that even with high volume from the TV - you can hear it. In addition, the remote with this unit is a complete useless piece of junk. It doesn't work from 18-20 ft across the room, half of the buttons don't operate at all, and/or they require pressing on the order of 10-15 times for the desired results. Do yourself a favor, and spend an extra $20-30 for a player that functions correctly.
I purchased this unit for its many good features a impressive price. The unit I purchased did not function reliably. I returned it without an exchange.
The unit froze-up every 2-30 minutes and would no longer respond to its own remote control until the power was turned off for about 30 seconds. Most freeze-ups were preceded by glitches in sound (really harsh on the speakers) and glitches in picture. The first of 3 discs I played was brand new - not a scrath or finger print on it. I studied the setup instructions to be sure I matched the setting for with my TV specifically, but it did not seem to matter. The default settings also did not seem to matter. I played all three discs on my other DVD player again without any trouble. I have lost confidence in the RCA brand because another RCA product I had owned had similar trouble...turnded off usually twice daily, and once monthly it would not respond to its remote control until I unplgged the unit from the wall for 30 seconds.
I had this dvd player for about a week. Worked fine the first two days, then it started to give me problems. There was nothing wrong with the picture, it looked good, but ejecting the dvd's was another story. It took about 2 minutes to enable you to load your dvd into the tray. The tray itself was very flimsy, not well built. When I turned off the dvd player, it sounded like something was breaking inside. I thought it would break or scratch my dvd's. Worst player I have ever bought. I advise you to stay away.
I bought this dvd player simply because of the 5 disc changer and that is was hd! And I come to find out it won't even play hd dvds. I am returning this product as soon as possible.
I disagree strongly with the other reviews of this item. I've had this DVD changer since July 2007, as part of a home theater replacing a Samsung 600W 5.1 5-DVD Home Theater that broke after only two years.
The Bottom Line:
*The unit is sleek, stylish, and very easy to use. It is the perfect complement to a home theater with its 5-DVD slot-load, load-while-playing changer.
*It has every output currently imaginable (Composite, Component, Coaxial, Optical, and HDMI).
*The value is incredible, but quality is not sacrificed, as the case is metal, yet it is very lightweight.
*Only negative is the small drawer load buttons, as they're sometimes difficult to press and there is no Open button on the remote.
An otherwise incredible value, buy with confidence.
I found this unit to be exceptional! awesome sound quality and picture! love the five disk feature too!
inexpensive and did the job.does not change discs th0ough automatically.
Got this player yesterday, simple set up, easy to use. And for $68.99 what can you say. It works, does the job and with (5) disc in it at one tme it is great. I used everthing on it the first day. and it all worked just fine... A little slow to get going, but lets not get worked up over that.... What is 10 are 15 sec...
A good DVD player for a little Money.....
Try it you just may like it!!!!!!
All trays work fine, sound is great, and picture is excellent. no complaints at all.
Works well, is annoying to have to load dvd's individually but.... Mine missing remote company very hart to contact!
Overall, very good machine!
Very noisy on some retail workout DVD's (the reason we bought it), but completely silent on other DVD's and some DVD-R's I recorded on my cheap DVD recorder. Plays XVID movies on CD-R beautifully. The ergonomics of the remote is upside down. Best cheap DVD changer I could find, but the noise is very annoying. No problems so far.
For the price I paid, I am very pleased with this product. It takes a little longer to load than my old player, but c'mon! What's a few seconds! Picture is great on my big screen HD TV. Consumer Reports gave the one-disc model high scores; this model was not rated.
This DVD player is helpful because it has 5 disks. We watch a lot of TV series on DVD and are continually having to switch out disks, so having the 5 disk changer is helpful. As this is the only 5 disk changer on Walmart.com that I could find, I own this product. However, if there were another one, I would purchase it. The reason for this is because of an annoying sound the player makes when spinning some disks. At times it is quite loud and annoying, while other times it cannot be heard. Most of the time, however, it is a quiet rattle that can be ignored by turning up the volume. The good side of this player is the picture. It has component, composite, and HDMI plugs which all give a good picture based on their potential. Overall, the product is average, and I would not recommend it. If you, however, are like me and need a 5 disk changer, go ahead an purchase it if you don't mind the annoying noise.

|I have climbed this mountain twice and prefer the Southeast Ridge, much more direct and fewer people. Democrat will always be a very special mountain to me. I also climbed Lincoln and Bross on this last trip, we had wonderful weather and it was a great day all around.

|Great three 14ers (+Cameron) for a one day trip.
|Posted Nov 2, 2002 7:51 am
|Route Climbed: Kite Lake TH Date Climbed: October 26 2002
|The hike was great! There was a few feet of snow up by the summit. I was going to climb the other 3 mountains but the weather rolled in and I had to go down.
|Posted Oct 26, 2002 7:42 pm
|Route Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: Summer 1998
|My first 14er, and then on to the other exciting Mosquito summits
|Posted Oct 22, 2002 11:05 am
|Route Climbed: Standard Date Climbed: June 14 2000
|Ring around the cirque. Cold, windy, snowy day made conditions more challenging than normal.
|Posted Oct 6, 2002 1:10 pm
|Route Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: September 21, 2002
|With the snow, this climb was a challenge. It was slick in areas and i'm not used to climbing in the snow. So i was even more happy to make it safely to the top and back down! What awesome views! no haze so it was great!
|Posted Sep 22, 2002 1:31 pm
|Route Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: August 10, 2002
|these mountains were over populated, enough folks to start a small village at the summit of democrat. i still loved this hike, even though there were too many people the day we went i found that most the other hikers we spoke with were over all genuinely into the outdoors and hiking. don't get me wrong there was still the mountains fair share of caffè latte totin tourons to contend with.
|Posted Sep 19, 2002 5:44 am
|Route Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: September 3, 2002
|Did the standard triple bagger route from Kite Lake. Except I got off the trail early and ended up scrambling up the scree to Democrat. That wore me out! Started at 8 am and summitted Democrat at 9:45 am. (By the way, not to diminish anyone's accomplishments or anything, but Cameron doesn't count as a fourteener!)
Third of 10 fourteeners in 6 days. #11 overall.

|Route Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: July 25 2002
|I meant to climb Bross, Lincoln, Democrat but the gated jeep road that I thought went up Bross went to the Democrat-Cameron saddle so I just went the other way around. Good weather. 3:52 car to car.
|Posted Jul 27, 2002 8:47 am
|Route Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: June 24, 2000
|My son, Patrick, and grandson, Shawn, and I climbed all 4 summits, and would have climbed South Bross if it hadn't rained. Had a nice glissade off the summit. Shawn turned back before we started up from the saddle. Almost got run over by a mountain biker as I summited Bross. I wonder if he guessed what I ment when I ignored his wave?
|Posted Jun 28, 2002 1:12 am
|Route Climbed: Mt Bross Road and Cameron-Democrat Ridge Date Climbed: July 15, 1994
|I drove to Bross and climbed Lincoln. Not much of a climb, but then I did Democrat. I didn't carry any water, and the wind was really blowing. Crossing the connecting ridge was relatively easy but coming back was really hard. I got hypothermia from dehydration.
|Posted Jun 25, 2002 9:11 pm
|Route Climbed: Democrat-Lincoln-Bross traverse Date Climbed: August 1997
|Knocking off 3 in one day is an awesome feeling! I think hiking these 3 gave me the desire to keep going and see if I can finish all 54 peaks in Colorado that are 14,000 or more feet high!
|Posted Jun 3, 2002 4:27 pm
|Matt Mahoney
|Route Climbed: South ridge Date Climbed: June 23 2000
|Somehow I ended up at Lake Emma, Mt. Buckskin, some class 3 climbing, and a steep glissade on the descent. Definitely not the standard route. It was only my 2nd day at altitude (from Florida), not enough acclimation to do Lincoln and Bross today.
|Posted May 19, 2002 3:33 pm
|Route Climbed: From Kite Lake Date Climbed: August 1996
|The first peak of 3 (or four if you count the bump called Cameron). What a great traverse. I hope to do it as a ski traverse in winter.
|Posted Apr 4, 2002 5:32 am
|Route Climbed: Standard from Kite Lake Date Climbed: July 1996
|Combined w/Lincoln and Bross, 2nd 14er climb, very windy i remember.
|Posted Jan 24, 2002 7:32 am
|Route Climbed: Southeast Face I Date Climbed: Aug. 25, 2001
|Easy summit after steep climb to East Ridge I. Very open and crowded, had to really search for a place to go the bathroom. Not one of the quieter peaks and definetly did not like the jeep road people can take almost all the way up Bross. Felt like Pikes Peak with cars at top of mountain.
|Posted Dec 28, 2001 11:04 pm
|Route Climbed: Kite Lake Date Climbed: 8/15/2001
|Democrat was the 3rd of 5 fourteeners that my partner and I climbed in 5 days. Pretty easy hike up, a well defined trail from thousands of feet! Fantastic views from the summit. We had intended to do all three peaks, but we got a late start and the weather was not looking good (the early morning was rainy and cloudy that day), so we came back down. Another day for Lincoln and Bross! Roach states in his book 'Colorado's Fourteeners' that you must park passenger cars at a switchback below the creek. Not so. The creek has a nice bridge over it now and you can drive all the way up to the lake. Get there early though, if you want a parking place!

Three arrested for heroin trafficking with child in carStaff Report | February 05,2014SPRINGFIELD — Two men and a woman were arrested in Springfield in the early morning hours today on charges of trafficking $15,000 worth of heroin and possession of cocaine and marijuana following a traffic stop.
Juan Rodriguez, Jose Rodriguez and Samantha Eldred were held at the Southern State Correctional Facility for lack of $75,000 bail.
State police stopped two vehicles - a 1997 Honda Accord and a 2002 Chrysler 300 - on northbound Interstate 91 in Springfield for defective equipment violations. Twenty-five-year-old Juan Rodriguez of Barre was driving the Accord; 26-year-old Eldred, also of Barre, was driving the Chrysler. In her car was 20-year-old Jose Rodriguez of Cabot and her 2-year-old stepson.
Police said all were related and had just returned from Hartford, Conn. There was an arrest warrant for Juan Rodriguez.
During a consented search of the Chrysler, police found 740 bags of heroin, an eighth of an ounce of cocaine, and about an ounce of marijuana in a bag wrapped in black electrical tape that was stuffed in a deflated spare tire in the trunk, behind the child's car seat. .
The three are due in criminal court today at 12:30 p.m. to answer to the charges.MORE IN This Just In

Ahhhh… Dinner. It's not just about eating.
A shared meal is a place to reconnect with each other after a busy day of buzzing around in opposite directions (a key ingredient for better health and happiness for everyone).
Yet, even though we want to make the "ideal dinner" happen regularly and We know how many good things can come from enjoying a meal with our family. We cannot deny that dinner can quickly become a source of stress. Not always the good kind that energizes you, but the kind that leaves you saying "Screw it, I don't care. Pass the cereal."
I'm recalling last night, for example, dining on leftover lukewarm calzone while my youngest frolicked in the tub, covered in what appeared to be a mixture of yogurt, tuna fish, and snot (she's getting over a cold, it was a state of emergency to get her to the tub). And there I was, trying not to get my dinner wet.
Nevertheless, there is help.
I was recently inspired by the art behind meal planning after reading DINNER – The Playbook by Jenny Rosenstrach. (Jenny, you don't know me yet, but I heart you.)
I discovered Jenny's awesome books after her blog (and mine) were both recognized by Janet Helm of Nutrition Unplugged as part of the "good" (not bad or ugly) of bloggers.
Below are some of Jenny's tips I found the most helpful and sensible for stressing less about dinner. I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas below.
Where do I Start?
Start with a calendar, a strategy and a well-considered batch of recipes, and most importantly a commitment to making dinner happen. Acknowledge that there is never going to be a perfect time when you have a week without work, recitals or melt-downs. Even if such a week did exist, what would you be learning after all? The idea is to get into a rhythm where dinner no longer becomes a source of stress or dread, rather a time to reconnect and unwind.
Share the Load
Avoid making dinner just on you, that's when it becomes a burden. Dinner is for the whole family, therefore everyone can pitch in. Anyone can learn how to cook–start with simple easy-to-follow recipes like Quesadillas or Omelets. Kids can browse through cook books and share their preferences or simply answer the question "what do you want for dinner?" Enlist helpers in the making dinner happen tasks such as setting/clearing the table, unloading the dishwasher, placing the condiments on the table.
Build Meals Around Familiar Ingredients
When you know everyone's palates and taste preferences you are able to select recipes that will not be offensive. Build on foods everyone loves. An example is pasta, use it as the base and add to it with new ingredients like roasted tomatoes and mushrooms. If they don't like the new add-ins at least they'll have a positive outlook that it is 'pasta' when they sit down for dinner. This can be a helpful strategy when introducing new recipes that involve new flavors.
Gather Your Recipes (the fun part!)
Dig out that pile of the "someday we'll make this" recipes and add to it with new recipes. To start, you'll probably want to pick 15 "go-to" recipes. From there, weave in recipes that involve new flavors, colors, and textures. Remember, the end goal is to put an edible dinner on the table not impress the Queen of England.
Make a Meal Plan
Find a time to round up the family before the week get started. (Ideally Saturday and on Sunday you will do your shopping). It's helpful to have everyone bring their calendars if you are juggling multiple kids/schedules.
Suggested Formulas for Meal Planning
- Use monikers like "Meatless Mondays" or "Taco Tuesdays".
- "Fish" or any seafood dish, make it happen on Sunday or Monday so it is still fresh from your weekly shop (done on Sunday).
- "Halfway There" recipes that has a make-ahead component, ie, pasta sauce or or something that has been marinating all day. This can also be based on repurposing leftovers (steak into steak salad).
- "Use It or Lose It" this is the last dinner of the week that takes advantage of the odds and ends in the crisper drawer, ie Baked Potato or Taco Bar and also helps you feel less guilty about going out to dinner on the weekend.
- "Double Up" by making a double batch of spicy mayo to use on asparagus with a fish dish at the beginning of the week and then Chicken BLTs later in the week. Or make an extra batch of rice to use for a tofu bowl one night, then add to an omelet later in the week.
Shop on Sundays
To keep is reasonable on yourself do the bulk of your shopping at one store (ideally same place you can buy toilet paper and parmesan cheese). Make Sunday your day to do your big shop. Take your kids with you, have them help make the grocery list/clip coupons. This will also help them learn practical life skills, like sticking to a budget, selecting the best produce and bagging groceries.
Build up your pantry with flavorful staples like canned chipoltes in adobo sauce, anchovies, rice wine vinegar and dijon mustard. Overtime you'll have a nice collection of these ingredients that add flavor to dishes and you'll be more willing to try new recipes.
Prep Ahead
Is there anything you can do before you leave the house for the day that you haven't already done on the weekend? This can simply be setting a pot of water on the stove so it's ready for boil when you walk in the door. Or washing and chopping the veggies for the recipe the night before. You will appreciate this small task at the end of the day.
Keep Notes
After you've finished your meal take a few moments to reflect on it. What grade would you give it? What did they kids think about it? Did it require too much prep? Was the clean up brutal? Most important, is it a keeper? Taking these few extra minutes before you go to bed with will help make future meal planning a breeze.

Points taken: Going for 2 isn't so risky
Chris Petersen was too busy working on a Boise State game plan to watch the NFL on Sunday.
When Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan eschewed a final-minute tying extra point in favor of what turned out to be a winning 2-point conversion, word got to Petersen, perhaps all of football's most aggressive coach, quickly.
The decision stunned the NFL, where it's rare to dare. It left Petersen laughing at the reaction.
"I heard some of the announcers were saying, 'He shouldn't be going for it. What is he doing? They're playing at home,' " Petersen said Tuesday. "I'm just kind of chuckling that people made such a big deal about it. He obviously knew exactly what he was doing."
Well, you'd think. Shanahan is in his 16th season as an NFL head coach, has reached the playoffs seven times and won two Super Bowls.
When he decided to become just the seventh NFL coach to attempt to win a game by going for 2 though, you would have thought he was some bumbling rookie. It wasn't just his coaching acumen that came into question, it was his general sanity.
He either had guts or was nuts.
That the play worked is all that spared him from a week of Ed Hochuli treatment. Which says more about everyone else than the decision itself.
The fact this is rarely attempted (its worked three of the seven times) is a testament to the NFL's Stepford-like thinking, its constant overreaction to anything different and its forever rewarding of conservative over innovative.
It's what puzzles Petersen so much.
What Shanahan did, he says, is exactly what a coach should do. He considered all the variables of the game and made a bold decision that he thought best positioned his team for victory.
In this case with a hot quarterback – Jay Cutler – he thought it was a high-percentage play. Not making the call would have been the wrong one.
"You kind of have a gut feeling," Shanahan explained simply.
That's nearly taboo in the NFL these days. Just about everything is planned, calculated, predicted, analyzed and reanalyzed. Anything that goes counter to conventional wisdom is ridiculed.
What if the wisdom isn't wise?
Petersen, who boasts a 25-3 record, certainly doesn't believe in it. He famously beat Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl on a final play 2-point conversation, a statue of liberty no less. Just last Saturday, in Boise's victory over Bowling Green, he went for 2 after securing a 6-0 lead in the first quarter.
They used to call guys such as him "riverboat gamblers." It's an outdated term since, as Deadspin's Clay Travis notes, just about every 80-year-old grandma in the South and Midwest has gambled in a riverboat casino these days.
It's a fitting description for NFL coaches then. They are more about nickel slots than all in on three queens. These days an NFL coach is more likely to rely on an actuary than an ace up his sleeve.
Brian Burke is a former Navy pilot and current math whiz who runs the fascinating website AdvancedNFLstats.com. He says 99 percent of extra points are converted but just 44 percent of 2-point conversions.
Thus, had Shanahan kicked for the tie Denver would've had a 50-50 shot in overtime or a 49.5 percent win probability. That's better than the 44 percent of going for two.
"On average, the 2-point decision was the wrong call in Denver's situation," Burke said. "In order for the 2-point attempt to be a rational decision, Shanahan must have thought the chances of success would be at least 50 percent."
Burke is the first to admit on average doesn't necessarily mean anything and statistically rational isn't always the way to make game decisions.
Many commentators miss that. This isn't even about the risk of losing the overtime coin flip – 17 percent of flip winners score immediately and 76 percent win eventually.
Most times the safe decision is made because risking it and failing means there is a 100 percent chance the coach will get all the blame. For reasons unknown, in the NFL a passive loss is better than an aggressive one.
Petersen can't understand why. Shouldn't the decision garner more respect? There is simply no right or wrong call there. Playing it safe can be just as foolish since all this talk about the odds of a 2-point conversion working are based on empty data.
There are so many variables in a football game – momentum, weather, matchups, fatigue, play calling, etc. – that each 2-point conversion should be treated as an isolated action and not part of some statistical trend compiled by other teams against other opponents in other situations often in other seasons.
The most obvious and important variable is talent. The success rate for the current Cowboys is likely to be far greater than the current Rams. So why would they both subscribe to a statistic based on data generated by neither of them?
And why would coaches have to live in fear of media and fans holding them to such a number?
This wasn't about Shanahan bucking the odds because there were no calculable odds on whether Denver could convert. The odds of Cutler converting a 3-yard pass at that time might have been quite high.
Petersen's famous 2-point conversion against Oklahoma came in part because he knew he had a high-probability play.
With the Sooners' spinning from a series of previous trick calls, Petersen lined three receivers right to draw the safeties. Once that happened, the game was all but determined. The fake Statue of Liberty pass just gave the left side of the Boise line time to push forward for a run.
While the play looked daring, it was actually conservative. The ball was safely handed off to Ian Johnson for a simple sweep left. Three OU defenders were sealed off by three Boise blockers. Johnson jogged in without anyone within 5 yards.
So while Petersen was hailed for his courage in "ignoring the odds," what were the real odds that this specific play was going to work? Maybe 90 to 95 percent? Only a failed block or a superhuman defensive effort could have changed things. You couldn't run the same play again (OU wouldn't be fooled) but this one time it was virtually unstoppable.
No wonder Petersen looked so calm on the sideline that night. And no wonder he laughs when people question decisions based on non-relevant statistics.
Denver's play wasn't as nearly foolproof. It was essentially the same one it ran to score the touchdown, a fairly high-percentage play. Shanahan's growing confidence in Cutler was the variable that pushed the decision, he said.
"That's why you go for it," Shanahan told our Michael Silver.
With such longevity in Denver, Shanahan also was unlikely to be fired due to one decision, no matter how misunderstood it might have been. The fact his defense was struggling to stop San Diego (as Boise's was with Oklahoma) might have played a part as well.
It's why each decision should be treated on its own and not universally condemned. It's why plays like these and the old riverboat gamblers who once called them shouldn't be so rare. It's why the coach who goes safe isn't always going smart.
It's why conventional wisdom sometimes isn't so wise

Point/Counterpoint - Small Laptops vs. Large Laptops
Kyle Rankin is a VP of engineering operations at Final, Inc., the author of a number of books including DevOps Troubleshooting and The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and is a columnist for Linux Journal. Follow him @kylerankin.
Netbooks For The Mass Market
The majority of computer users are light. This means they use their laptop for simple tasks - email, web, music, word documents. For these people a netbook is perfect. Portable and cheap, it appeals to the masses. With larger hard drives and bigger battery lives, the netbook specifications are improving constantly and this is being reflected in the amount of sales.
Pocket or Bag
I say it either fits in your pocket, or it doesn't. If it's a pocket gadget, the smaller/thinner the better. If you have to carry a bag anyway, who cares how big or heavy it is? The weight/size range laptops fall into should be easy enough for any healthy human to carry without much effort.
Netbooks will roam the earth
I just want to say I'm on kyle side. Ever since i got my eeepc, i dont worry about those bulky things. Far more as a linux user most of my stuff dont require a huge footprint so i can always remain priductive under a low powered laptop.
last year i went to europe only on my eeepc, external portable harddrive and my nokia N800. the configuration was solid.
never had any issue, and the quick boot was all so appreciated.
Netbooks will roam the earth.
Why not use both worlds
Why don't you try a mixed solution?
There are nice 13 inch laptops with 1.4 kg, with full processing power, nice ram amount and large disk.
I don't know if you ever tried one of these but I've got a Sony Vaio SZ5XN and I love it. Usually on my personal budget I save some money to buy a new laptop every year, but I've this one for almost 2 and I'm not thinking in changing.
I use it for working in the office, at home, and traveling. The only thing i bought was a large capacity battery on ebay so i can work decently for 7-8 hours.
To be sincere I can go from Lisbon to New York with the laptop always on.
It has a nice resolution 1280x800, bright screen, a dual core duo with 2ghz and a hybrid video card, that allows you to work while plugged with a nvidia video card and if you want to save the battery you can use an intel video card (as I don't play I always use the Intel one).
It's not a cheap system I know, but it pays off. It's my first machine that gives me power to whatever I would do (develop, compile, run virtual machines, test web applications) and still be light and small being at the same time very usable (keyboard and mouse).

Mapping American Culture
Wayne Franklin, Michael C. Steiner
University of Iowa Press, 1992 - History - 310 pages
What connections can be drawn between oral history and the shopping mall? Gospel music and the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant? William Carlos Williams's "Patterson" and the Manhattan Project's secret cities? The answers lie in this insightful collection of essays that read and illuminate the American landscape. Through literature and folklore, music and oral history, autobiography, architecture, and photography, eleven leading writers and thinkers explore the dialectic between space and place in modern American life. The result is an eloquent and provocative reminder of the environmental context of events--the deceptively simple fact that events "take "place.""

Idle speed has been computer-controlled for the last 25 - 30 years. When the air conditioning turns on it puts an extra load on the engine. The Engine Computer will pulse the idle speed motor, (it's not really an electric motor), to keep the idle speed at the specified value. Engine idle speed should hold steady. It should not increase when the air conditioning turns on and it should not decrease when you shift into drive or reverse.

Cook open to relieving, leaving May 1 options open - 0 Comments
One night after making his fourth straight strong start in Pawtucket, veteran right-hander Aaron Cook sounded like a man with options.
With a May 1 opt-out clause looming in his contract, the Red Sox will soon have a decision to make. Do they promote Cook to the big leagues and insert him into the rotation? Do they use him in relief? Do they try to convince him to stay in Pawtucket a little longer?
Cook, for his part, will take the events as they come and hasn't decided what he plans to do next Tuesday when his opt-out date arrives.

Conduit backers seek more funds
BY CHRIS WOODKA The Pueblo Chieftain
Published: March 21, 2014; Last modified: April 7, 2014 01:13PM
Sponsors are working to increase funding for the Arkansas Valley Conduit in next year's federal budget.
The conduit recently received the green light to proceed from the Bureau of Reclamation, which released a record of decision on Feb. 27 for it, a master storage contract and an interconnect on Pueblo Dam.
But the approval did not translate into funding when President Barack Obama released his budget one week later and included only $500,000 for the conduit.
"We were disappointed in the dollars," said Jim Broderick, executive director of the Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy District, sponsor of all three projects.

At a carnival, young Josh Baskin (HANKS) wishes he was big-only to awake the next morning and discover he is! With the help of his friend Billy (JARED RUSHTON), Josh lands a job at a toy company. There, his inner wisdom enables him to successfully predict what children want to buy, making the awestruck, naïve Josh irresistible to a beautiful ladder-climbing colleague (ELIZABETH PERKINS). But the more he experiences being an adult, the more Josh longs for the simple joys of childhood.
A perfect marriage of novel but incisive writing, acting, and direction, Big is the story of a 12-year-old boy who wishes he were older, and wakes up one morning as a 30-year-old man (Tom Hanks). The script by Gary Ross (Dave) and Anne Spielberg finds some unexpected ways of attacking obvious issues of sex, work, and childhood friendships, and in all of these things the accent is on classy humor and great sensitivity. Hanks is remarkable in the lead, at times hilarious (reacting to caviar just as a 12-year-old would) and at others deeply tender. Penny Marshall became a first-rate filmmaker with this 1988 work. --Tom Keogh
Tom Hanks never disappoints his audience. Bach with this movie and everything he's acted in since.

Chemical and advanced materials maker Celanese Corporation ( CE ) announced that it will shut down two of its European manufacturing facilities by the end of 2013. They are its acetic anhydride plant in Roussillon and the vinyl acetate monomer (VAM) unit in Tarragona.
Celanese added that its French and Spanish subsidiaries have informed their employee delegates in Roussillon, France, and the work council in Tarragona, Spain, of its plans to initiate an information and consultation process regarding the closure the two facilities. These consultations have led to negotiated and approved redundancy and social plans for the affected employees. The social plans include measures for minimizing the effects of the closures on the facilities' employees.
Due to the closing of the facilities, Celanese expects to incur personnel-related exit costs and other facility-related shutdown costs in the range of $100-$110 million, including roughly $35-$45 million of non-cash asset impairments, mostly in the fourth quarter of 2013. These expenses will be excluded from the company's adjusted earnings per share and adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) performance records. Celanese estimates related cash outflows to occur over a one-year period. The company projects savings from these closures to be in the range of $20-$30 million in 2014.
In May 2013, Celanese divulged its plans to find a potential buyer for both the facilities focusing on industrial candidates. Celanese's aim was to find a buyer who would ensure sustainable execution of operations at the properties, in accordance with the company's financial criteria, and at the same time retain its employees. However, Celanese did not succeed and instead decided to plan for the possible closure of both - the facility in Roussillon and the production unit in Tarragona.
The action was undertaken to maintain the competitiveness of the Celanese acetyl business. The need for these contemplated projects came from an assessment of Celanese's overall corporate strategy, including an appraisal of its global manufacturing facilities.
Celanese currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Other companies in the chemical industry worth considering are Asahi Kasei Corporation ( AHKSY ), Johnson Matthey plc ( JMPLY ) and Methanex Corporation ( MEOH ). While Asahi Kasei and Johnson Matthey hold a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), Methanex carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

History, Western Michigan University
"Cacoethes Scribendi!" Augusta Jane Evans's "Incurable Itch to Write"
Augusta Jane Evans (1835-1909), a Georgia native, published her first
novel in 1855. She wrote to make a living, for her father had gone
bankrupt when Evans was ten and she felt compelled to contribute to the
family income as her parents moved from Georgia to San Antonio, Texas,
finally to Mobile, Alabama. Evans's domestic novels centered around
heroines who had to fend for themselves and make their own way in the
world. The novels echoed Evans's own life, as her work proved lucrative
enough to support her and much of her family throughout her career. She
wrote the majority of her eight best-sellers before marrying Lorenzo
Madison Wilson in 1868. She and her husband settled at their estate,
Ashland, in Mobile, where Augusta Jane Evans Wilson assumed the role of
the post-bellum "Southern Lady." Her production of novels slowed
considerably and reflected the change in her circumstances, featuring
heroines who were punished, instead of rewarded, for their independence.
Her last work was a short story-cum-novel published in 1907.
Evans was a remarkably popular writer and one of the best-known
in the country during the nineteenth century. Children were named after
and her literary characters. Her novel _St. Elmo_ (1866), about a
rake and the woman who demanded he reform himself rather than
rely on her, reached millions of readers and remained in print through
the first half of the twentieth century. When Evans died in 1909, her
funeral outshone any others held in Mobile.
As a domestic novelist, however, and as a pro-secessionist, ardent
Confederate sympathizer, and unreconstructed Rebel, Evans would have a
difficult time making it into the pantheon of nineteenth-century
_literati_. So, despite her status as one of the country's best-selling
authors in the nineteenth century, she is not in the canon of American
nineteenth-century literature. Rebecca Grant Sexton's edited collection
of Evans's correspondence in _A Southern Woman of Letters_ offers good
literary reasons for this. "Pedantic" does not begin to describe
style of writing. The term, after all, is defined as "narrowly,
and often ostentatiously learned." Stodgy and ostentatious would
certainly apply, but can a writer who quotes the Bible, Latin, French,
German with equal ease and routinely drops classical allusions be termed
"narrow?" I think not.
Evans critic and New York humorist Charles Henry Webb perhaps had it
right when he asserted that Evans had "inadvertently swallowed a
dictionary as a child" (p. 137), thus providing herself with an
inexhaustible font of obscure allusions, phrases, and words with which
enlighten or bludgeon (take your pick) her readers. She was, as a
with nine published works (of which eight were best-sellers), determined
to provide "guidance and moral instruction for others" through
according to Sexton (p. xxii). This she seems to have accomplished, as
her books always sold magnificently--even during the Civil War, when her
novel _Macaria_ (1864), an apology for the Confederacy, reached
best-seller status in both the South and the North.
Sexton's goal in editing some of Evans's letters is to add to our
understanding of the lives of women during the nineteenth century. It
a goal partially met. Sexton edits Evans's letters with painstaking
attention to the letters' contents. She has done a truly remarkable and
outstanding job at discovering the sources of Evans's inexhaustible (and
exhausting) supply of obscure remarks, asides, quotations, and
There are holes, however, that an editor and historian would like to see
filled to better understand the context of Evans's life and work
represented in the letters.
Evans occupies a place in nineteenth-century culture that has been
detailed in other sources, most recently in works on women politicos and
female writers who participate in the public sphere carefully but
determinedly, as did such Evans contemporaries as Ada Clare of New York,
Anna Ella Carroll of Maryland, and Louisa S.C. McCord of South Carolina.
Like these other women, Evans wrote to politicians (including
Confederate Congressman J.L.M. Curry and Confederate Vice President
Alexander Stevens) and generals (particularly P.G.T Beauregard). She
offered political advice. She offered military advice. She consoled
losers (Beauregard), whose plans, she argued, were always better than
ones followed by those in power. She dressed her letters in the
"requisite deference" (p. xxxi), as Sexton aptly puts it, and then
sallied forth in her inimitable style to say exactly what she pleased.
The letters themselves provide glimpses of life in the deep South
of the Confederacy during the war. Evans discusses politics throughout
the period, details her work nursing soldiers in the hospital she
established (named "Camp Beulah" after one of her best-sellers), and
describes her painstaking care nursing an injured brother. In one
memorable letter written to Curry in July 1863, she suggested that he
change the public lecture topic he proposed to something that did not
theorize on whether Southern women are affected by slavery
(p. 65). Evans accepted that it was true that slavery did not
benefit white women. Because white women had slaves, they did not
Therefore they did not want to labor. They could not work, since their
lack of labor enervated them. But wait--it was not that they were
weak or constitutionally unwilling, she wrote. White women did not run
around as did their Northern or English counterparts, since, as Evans
it: "A southern woman who emulated the peripatetic performances of her
English Sister, would unquestionably find herself the victim of Sun
stroke, or brain fever" (p. 66). Yes, thought Evans, slavery was
not that beneficial to white women. Perhaps Curry should turn to a
in politics instead.
This edition includes primarily Evans's letters to Curry and Beauregard,
with whom she had close and long-running correspondence; it also
letters to a confidante, Rachel Lyons Heustis of South Carolina, to whom
Evans wrote repeatedly of her domestic affairs as well as her political
opinions. These three recipients are chosen by Sexton because of the
number of letters to them present, one presumes, in the twenty-two
available collections listed by the editor. It would be useful to know
exactly how many of Evans's letters do survive, and what proportion of
whole the letters in Sexton's edition make up. Such a measure would
place these three relationships into a clearer context. It would also
helpful to know about the rest of the collections and what types of
letters they contain. The whole corpus of Evans's correspondence is
delineated; consequently, the reader cannot determine where these
reside within that corpus.
The book's bibliography seems a tad dated; Sexton's use of secondary
literature is, in certain areas, very dated. She offers Carroll
Smith-Rosenberg's pathbreaking work on women's homosocial networks to
interpret the Lyons Heustis letters, but then argues rightly that the
is less than useful, since the letters do not exhibit the homoeroticism
that Smith-Rosenberg sought to explain.[1] Sexton's alternate
interpretation of the sometimes-affectionate/sometimes-distant
relationship between Evans and Lyons Heustis--that Evans was famous and
busy--suffers from the "so-what" factor. More distressing
for historians is the marginal attention paid to military history,
despite Evans's consummate interest in it. Sexton relies on a
fifty-two-year-old history of the Confederacy for most of her
interpretations of Southern military actions and participants.[2] None
the current literature on women politicos appears; Mary Kelley's
useful work on literary domesticity appears in the bibliography, but not
in the interpretation of Evans's work.[3]
For scholars in literary studies and women's studies (the book's
designation by the Library of Congress), Sexton's work provides an
adequate explanation of Evans's role within the development of the genre
the domestic novel. _A Southern Woman of Letters_ also provides a
of the domestic conflicts that many women writers persevered through and
incorporated into their works. The book is useful for scholars of
nineteenth-century history because it explains so many of the classical
allusions that bedevil contemporary scholars. Sexton's edition of
letters requires a bit more work, however, to fully explain Evans's
importance in the history of nineteenth-century Southern women writers.
