Did anyone really think Kobe wasnt going to play?
Of course Bryant proved his ankle/foot wasn't a problem at all with him scoring 19 points on 8 of 13 shooting in 29 minutes. But that didn't halt the talk of his sprained limb. Bryant's injury was still a hot topic long after the Lakers wrapped up a 106-90 victory to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
"That's what he does," Hornets coach Monty Williams said. "All this talk about his ankle, did it look like his ankle was hurting? OK then. See why I don't even get into all that. It is what it is, he made a spectacular play."
Said Hornets' Willie Green: "He played his normal game. We know Kobe isn't going to sit out in the playoffs unless they shoot him with a tranquilizer. Other than that, he's going to get out there and play."
Pau Gasol said Bryant didn't look limited in his movement after the first quarter. Two spectacular dunks seemed to lift his game to usual heights.
"He played really well," Gasol said. "You have to value his effort and his will to play."
Derek Fisher tried to take the focus off Bryant's injury as the two veterans walked into Staples Center before the game. As a camera crew followed them to the Lakers locker room and Fisher said he figured that if he was walking "old and decrepit then maybe the focus wouldn't be so much on his ankle. But that didn't really work."
That's because the camera man narrowed the angle and cut Fisher out of the picture.
"I don't know what else I can add (about Bryant's play). I mean, his legacy...he's going to play," Fisher said. "Whatever he's got going, as long as he has two hands and two feet, he's going to play. He's going to figure it out."

BALTIMORE -- After Daniel Cabrera experienced difficulty in getting the third out during a frustrating performance, Chad Cordero needed only seven pitches to record the game's final two outs and earn a milestone save.
The Washington Nationals hit three home runs off Cabrera, and Cordero notched his 100th career save in a 7-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday night.
Ryan Church hit a solo shot, and Ryan Zimmerman and Brian Schneider both connected with a man on for the Nationals. Felipe Lopez ended an 0-for-19 skid with a two-run double and received three of the 10 walks allowed by Baltimore pitchers.
Cabrera (5-7) gave up seven runs and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings, matching his shortest appearance of the season. Three of his four walks turned into runs, and the right-hander permitted six runs after getting two outs.
"I don't try to be too fine. I throw a close pitch, I don't get (the call), that's when I walk the guys," he said. "The home runs come after that."
Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo lamented, "He couldn't finish an inning off."
Cordero showed how to do it in the ninth. After Miguel Tejada led off against Jesus Colome with his seventh homer, Aubrey Huff hit a single and Jay Payton grounded out before Melvin Mora walked.
Cordero entered and induced pinch-hitter Paul Bako to hit into a double play for his ninth save. The 25-year-old is the second-youngest player in baseball history to get 100 saves, behind only Francisco Rodriguez of the Los Angeles Angels.
Cordero is the sixth player in franchise history to reach the century mark, making Montreal-Washington the first major league club to have that many pitchers with 100 career saves since the statistic was first recognized in 1969.
Nationals starter Micah Bowie (3-2) allowed three runs and three hits in six innings. Since leaving the bullpen to replace injured Jerome Williams in the starting rotation, Bowie is 3-0 in five starts, and the Nationals are 5-0 in those games.
"To go from being a short reliever to being a starter and to be effective at this level, well, it's something," Bowie said. "If I can keep us in the game and we can keep getting wins, I'm doing my job."
Mora hit a three-run homer for the Orioles, who have lost eight of 10. Baltimore managed only three hits until the ninth inning.
Cabrera had surrendered eight home runs in 84 1/3 innings before yielding three to the Nationals, tying a career high. In two career games against Washington, the right-hander is 0-2 with a 9.75 ERA.
"He had three innings where he had two outs and nobody on and he gave up six runs," Perlozzo said. "When you have two outs and nobody on, you still have to attack the hitter."
Church put the Nationals up 1-0 in the second with his seventh homer, a drive that landed in the front rows of the left-field seats.
Asked where the ball would have landed in cavernous RFK Stadium, Church replied, "behind the shortstop."
In the bottom half, Mora connected after singles by Huff and Payton.
Washington tied it in the third. Cabrera retired the first two batters before Lopez drew a walk and Zimmerman homered on a 2-1 pitch.
In the fourth, Cabrera again got two outs before running into trouble. Ryan Langerhans singled and Cristian Guzman walked before Lopez lined a two-run double to left.
"We're always pushing these guys on the bench to get a two-out rally together because we weren't able to do it earlier in the year," Nationals manager Manny Acta said. "Tonight we got some runs, and a lot of them with two outs. Two-out hits and two-out runs paid off for us."
The pattern continued in the fifth. Cabrera retired two batters, then walked Church on four pitches. After Orioles pitching coach Leo Mazzone came to the mound in an effort to calm down Cabrera, Schneider hit the next pitch into the bleacher seats in right.
That was the last of Cabrera's 108 pitches, 49 of which missed the strike zone.
- Guzman was 24-for-48 over an 11-game stretch before going 0-for-4 with a walk.
- Baltimore fell six games under .500 (29-35), matching a season high.
- With a win in one of the next two games, the Nationals will win a fourth straight road series in a season for the first time since 2001, when the franchise was in Montreal.

text: Submitted by Mary Beth Lawlor on Wed, 03/02/2016 - 4:40am Things to do this Spring in Northwest ConnecticutIt's spring, as we can see by the daffodils' bright yellow show. Litchfield County is known for its natural rural beauty, and these coming weeks will bring plenty of visual delight. This time of year I love to prune a few forsythia branches and bring them inside to enjoy the blooms up close. With the warmer weather, it's also a great time to get out and enjoy some nature-inspired activities with the kids. Here's a list of 10 things to do in Litchfield County this spring. 1. Meet 21 different birds of prey at Sharon Audubon Center's raptor exhibit, including a bald eagle and great horned owl. Take a hike through one of its many beautiful nature paths. Head into the museum to see more fun animals and areas to play. 2. Visit a model solar system that scans six miles built to scale at the John J. McCarthy Observatory in New Milford. 3. Go geocaching at the Little Pond Trail at White Memorial Conservation Center. 4. On a Saturday afternoon, tour the lovely Arethusa Farm & Dairy farm in Litchfield. Make sure to stop and get homemade ice cream in a freshly made waffle cone at its beautiful dairy store at 822 Bantam Road in Bantam. 5. Take the little ones to story hour at the Litchfield Hills Farm Fresh Market, and then shop for local fresh produce along with local jams, granola,salsa, bread, etc. 6. Check out the daffodil display on Wigwam Road in Litchfield. The photo above was taken there last spring. It's a lovely daffodil garden that began in the 1930s and covers a few acres, including the little island in the middle of the pond. 7. Get centered while walking a seven-circuit labyrinth at the Wisdom House in Litchfield. 8. See a live snake habitat and fluorescent rock cave in the children's room at White Memorial Conservation Center, and then take a hike along a boardwalk trail though a wetland environment. 9. Explore the seven-acre peony festival at Cricket Hill Garden in Thomaston. 10. Hit the Eric Sloane Museum in Kent where you can see artist Eric Sloane's studio recreated as well as visit the Kent Iron Furnace museum next door. Originally published 3/31/12.

Secret of an A-list body: Minnie Driver
How to get arms like Minnie Drivers.
British actress Minnie Driver has the kind of toned upper arms you'd usually see on an athlete. While she does exercise five days a week, often with a personal trainer, she credits yoga and surfing with giving her fantastic muscle tone.
What to try:
The lateral raise is an excellent way of working the muscles that give shape to the upper arms. You will need a pair of dumbbells or two bottles of water.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms down by your sides, holding a weight in each hand. Face your palms in towards your thighs and flex your knees.
Slowly raise your arms out to the side until your hands are as high as your shoulders and your arms are parallel to the floor. Hold that position for a couple of seconds before lowering. Repeat 12-15 times.

Pros: Very nice landscaping with comfortable chairs, each room has a balcony or patio with table and chairs. Our room was very spacious with a lot of window
Cons: The house next to the hotel was demolished during our stay and new construction will probably start soon.
Location: This hotel is close to the best beach in St. Lucia. A lot of restaurants near by. Pigeon Island couple of minutes away on a water taxi.
Hotel is very nice, close to the beach, but our room #11 was too close to the road and this was a problem on Friday and Saturday nights; cars were driving by with very laud music on.

A Great Little OasisPosted Feb 6, 2017
Pros: The location and layout of the hotel is great. Staff are very friendly, happy to chat and give you information on the local area.
Cons: Breakfast could not be faulted but after a couple of days it does become tedious. A choice of pastries, croissants or cereal would give some variety.
Location: Cross the road and through the car park to Reduit Beach with restaurants, bars and sunbeds. 10 minute walk into town for shopping and restaurants.
Booked the Ginger Lily after looking at the previous reviews and we were not disappointed. A relaxing and friendly place to stay. Quiet retreat from the busy beach area. Great restaurants nearby - definitely spoilt for choice. Enjoyed chatting to the staff and getting a flavour of the local culture. Definitely experienced a more leisurely holiday and felt very welcome at the Ginger Lily. The hotel has great character and the communal garden/pool area is a wonderful little oasis. At the same time, there were plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from, which were at most a 10 minute walk away. Would definitely recommend to friends and family if they are looking for a relaxing break from home.

Water turned off; TV out for 2 daysPosted Feb 1, 2017
Unfriendly staff, no management on site, TV out without explanation, no access to ice after 9 (without warning), no shampoo in the room, shower soap dispenser fell off the wall and wasn't fixed, drapes came off the rod in our hands. You get the picture. Could be a great little quaint property with a little work and some staff training.

Lovely boutique hotel in a great locationPosted Nov 13, 2016
Pros: The local and personal touch. The lady who cleaned our room made a different display with towels and flowers every day and the staff were very helpful
Cons: Not much choice at breakfast. We paid extra for the cooked breakfast one day but it wasn't great. But there is a fridge in the room you can use.
Location: Just a walk across the car park to stunning Reduit beach. Spinnakers Bar&Rest there - great for drinks and food. Lots of other restaurants nearby.
Small and intimate hotel very close to the beach and just a short walk from shopping mall. If you don't want big and corporate, this is an excellent and reasonably priced alternative which will give you far more of a local flavour. They only provide breakfast but there are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area to try. Big and comfortable rooms. We had an upper deluxe with a balcony but not a sea view. Staff were great esp Cheryl who organised a plate of local goodies for our 25th wedding Anniversary.

Great Boutique Hotel worth the visit.Posted Nov 11, 2016 on Hotels
The Good: Pictures are true and its a great Boutique Hotel. Staff are warm and friendly. Rooms are huge with massive bathrooms. Area is safe and near to all malls, bars and restaurant. The police station is directly opposite the hotel. Free Continental breakfast is good but simple and the same every day. The gardens are wonderful and tranquil and you would never think you are at a major tourist resort area. The Bad: The beds are not good with old mattresses. The rooms are a bit dated and especially can be seen in the fixtures, cupboards and furniture. The lighting is very dim in the room with no desk lamp for the desk. No ice maker on the property or ice in the mini fridge. For a warm breakfast (eggs and sausage only) the add on charge is very high. Overall my stay was comfortable, with warm and friendly staff. The room rate I paid at this time the hotel is worth that price point. Not sure about their winter rate if the hotel can justify charging that price. The fact that its a 11 room hotel and you never see other guest, its tranquil and you don't feel confined in your room I recommend.

The Caribbean, Central and South America network for HIV epidemiology (CCASAnet) is an established and productive network that is responsive to scientific opportunities arising in the region and across International Epidemiologic Databases to Evaluate AIDS (leDEA) regions worldwide. This successful collaboration, created during the first leDEA funding cycle, has resulted in the productive enrichment and merging of human and technological resources from HIV clinical care and research sites in Port-au-Prince, Mexico City, Tegucigalpa, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago, and the Vanderbilt Data Coordinating Center (DCC). The Vanderbilt DCC will continue to effectively harmonize and analyze complex databases and manage the CCASAnet 2.0 consortium. The project will conduct and facilitate research using the shared data repository to answer questions that cannot be answered by any single source. The clinical outcomes and complications related to HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy in the region will be evaluated. Studies are proposed to determine the impact of infections other than HIV, particularly tuberculosis, hepatitis, and human papillomavirus. Factors uniquely related to adolescents and young adults with HIV will be addressed across the region. Innovative biostatistical and informatics methods will be developed and applied. Biologic specimen repositories will be established that will facilitate future translational research. Programs for mentoring and education to enhance clinical research and data management capabilities at CCASAnet sites, promote junior researchers, and catalyze ongoing growth of scientific leadership in the region will be implemented. By these activities, CCASAnet 2.0 will help advance both the science of HIV epidemiology, and the information science that underpins international research collaboration.
The project seeks to articulate contemporary research questions that are important to the dynamics of the global HIV epidemic and other infectious diseases within CCASAnet consortium countries. The proposed research will increase the understanding of similarities and differences in patterns of HIV care and disease outcomes in the Caribbean and Latin America, and will address issues that are also compelling in other regional settings

Photographer puts a GoPro in bride's bouquet for a unique wedding video
The tiny GoPro camera can make some spectacular videos. From Red Bull's record breaking skydive to a cat's perspective on chasing a laser pointer, there is serious potential for the $200-$400 video camera. The GoPro has survived some extreme photographic situations, but it can also work well for more conventional video needs.
When San Diego-based photographer Ben Horne got married earlier this year, he put a GoPro HD Hero2 in his bride's bouquet to create a unique camera angle. Horne combined the bouquet footage with the video from his Panasonic TM700 and another GoPro in a stable location for his personal wedding video. On his blog, Horne shares how he got the GoPro in the bouquet.
The GoPro looks subtle in the bouquet, not overwhelming the flowers and the footage is intriguing. In the video Horne shared on his blog, a brief clip shows the couple's friends and family applauding as they enter the reception—an emotional moment for a newly married couple cleverly captured from the bride's perspective.
So, does the woman who catches flowers keep GoPro?
Very nice idea..
A nice enough idea. But in the video, it appeared to me that everyone was actually quite aware of the camera's presence in the bouquet; only about 10% of the video seemed to take advantage of the "hidden aspect". So much for trying to hide it in the first place. The video itself is just ok. Considering that the final product was about2 minutes long, going through 8 hours of video to get those two minutes seems more trouble than it's worth. If the couple enjoyed it, then fine. Not anything I would get excited about either as a photographer or a groom, however.
Of topic for a second.... what's up with all these wedding photographers looking like Homer Simpson? Geez guys... lay off the wedding cake a little bit, why don't you! Or at least wear a jacket to cover up that big gut so that bride doesn't have your middle jiggling around all day long!!
I love it! I would have had such fun being a bride and shooting with my bouquet!
Geez, the negative comments are so unnecessary. I wouldn't have thrown the bouquet either - I'd have been afraid to break the camera and the footage wouldn't have been that good because of the darkness anyway. This was his wedding anyway - he can do whatever he wants. If he didn't have a pro videgrapher shoot it, which he might have, this is still great footage to have. A pro can't be everywhere all the time. I think it's a great idea and would have loved to have done it myself at my wedding. Thanks for sharing Ben. Hope you two have a great life together!
Very exciting stuff! [SERIOUS IRONY TOTALLY INTENTIONAL]
It takes a strong stomach to be making wedding videos for a living, but this one here takes the cake!
You wanna pat yourself on the back. I think it was a great idea- sure some of it looked a bit "posey" ( bouquet- get it? ) but hey- they could never regret doing the video.
Great job, it actually says a lot about the wedding.
Funny and beautiful movie ! ! ! ! And happiness for the couple ! ! ! ! !
Argh! He took the camera out of the bouquet for the best shot (throwing the bouquet)!
Nice, I had this idea with a Contour HD two years ago and then when the Go Pro 2 came out with super slow motion (120fps wvga) last year, I put it on the bouquet for the toss in slow motion during a wedding photography course I taught.
See video below at 2:45...
I did the almost the same for a wedding
putting the go pro on the floor in the middle of the church in automatic photo mode
Very refreshing!
Good result or not, the idea of trying the 'boucam' is very much the correct approach for innovation in photography. The late Galen Rowell once was asked one photographic wish, and he said that he wish to see the world from a dog's perspective; he was not referring to the angle of view itself, but to the dog's life experience and way of seeing things.
In a funny way - and in that sense - the bouquet-experience and "life" existence through the wedding is much more than the angle of view. This video is something unique, meaningful and I am sure, a tremendous memento for the new couple.
@ Ben: wonderful and brilliant idea! As a married men myself I can assure you this kind of creativity and approach to life is very positive family-wise. Well done and all the best for the two of you!
I watched the whole film, just to see the bouquet toss, but they tossed a different bouquet! Dude! Still a great idea and super fun video, but man, if you're gonna put an adventure camera in a bouquet, you've got to toss it or no dice. Otherwise... lots of fun.
I hope GoPro adding better protection to the camera, so the camera is shock proof. when it is fall from say it 3 meter or more still survive. and maybe they need to consider selling other model . just my 2c
You mean like this?
Wow! one of the most boring videos being shared so far. My suggestion, use the helmet cam style for the divorce, it will generate a much more dramatic and existing footage.
@ Ben, really? Maverick's comment is his/her opinion. Should all of the comments be gushing and positive? I didn't find much to enjoy about the video either.
@Cordell, Maverick's comment would have been acceptable as an opinion if he'd forgone the divorce bit. Did you think Ben was reacting to Mav's first sentence, his opinion? If you didn't enjoy it, go ahead and share. But I also have to wonder if, by making an irrelevant divorce quip about someone's wedding video, you are insecure about your life and feel the need to make such comments in an on-line forum where you are anonymous.
Maverick's comments were his/her opinion and just as valid as any other comment on this or any other on-line forum. I suppose if my opinion does not mirror yours, I am insecure about my life? You need to get a life. The video was boring at best. The idea may have seemed interesting, but the results are lame. Let's give him a trophy for trying. By the way, the divorce quip is the only comment worth reading. Is it so hard to say someone's idea didn't work? Gush, gush, gush is all there is on this type of forum. I don't know anyone involved, but truthfulness is obviously not appreciated here, nor is one's opinion.
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Here is mine: I got no kick out of seeing the video, but I get a kick out of the idea.
The video may be boring, uninteresting, but I think it is important to remember the context. As any picture or film from a wedding, it serves as a bit of memory. For many women, their wedding day is important. The bouquet camera idea is a way of capturing - not what the bouquet saw, but what the bride saw. She can't wear a camera in her wedding. This way she can re-live her entire day - in a way my pictures as a wedding photographer cannot give her. I find the idea brilliant. Its certainly a personal thing, but that is fine.
It's easy to be critical of something. But I bet you don't understand brides very well. I bet she loved this because it was her and her friends shooting the video, it was very personal. Many times clients don't care about the same things that photo or video snobs do.
Some of you lack a sense of humour. My guess is that Maverick_ is just writing what a lot of us are thinking....that we are sick and tired of stupid wedding photography BS. All this money being dumped on a single day that ends up in divorce or if they stay together, is shoved in a drawer or hard drive and never watched again. Do you think they will be making sweet love to candle light with their bouquet video playing in the background ten years from now? As well, why are people so old now when they get married?!
And then they forgot the best part.
Throwing the bouquet with the camera in it !
Thought that was the idea ...
Likewise, I expected it to either be thrown or on a bedside table that night :-)
We considered it, but decided not to because we were afraid we might hurt someone if the lens beaned someone in the face. Also, it was getting a bit dark, so I'm not sure how good the footage would have been. Oh, and we didn't want the person to think they got to keep the gopro. :-)

Singles. I don't even know why really but I never liked palettes.
When I was starting out, I wanted to be more selective – so I preferred the singles. And the organization was more personal too (blue palette, neutral palette, etc)
But NARS Duo eyeshadows changed that for me. I've been drawn to higher end duo or multiple palettes because one; more value for your money and two; gives colours that are already coordinated for each other! This applies to High-end for me because there's no way I'm paying $30 for a single eyeshadow when I can get 3 or more shades for $50.
Singles. Unless I come across a really gorgeous palette such as the Urban Decay Naked Palette.
Palettes and quads mostly. U get more value and I dislike having to store singles or worse carry them around- when travelling for instance. And it's great if you're in a hurry and don't have much time to be creative.
The great thing about singles is of course getting to pick specific shades
Yeah….I totally agree with you….which is way I mostly own palettes but I do have some singles.
I rather pay big money for a palette than for a single eyeshadow.
probably quads just because of the value. it's rare i find a quad that i like enough to buy though.
I don't by any of those options. I prefer to eyeshadows in pans so I make up my own palettes that way, I love all the eyeshadows I have and I don't overbuy.
i went through a phase where I would not buy eyeshadows other than in palette form. I dont know, i thought they were more of a bargain. When i finally got into makeup, i started to appreciate singles so im buying more of them now.
i prefer palettes because i feel like i'm getting more for my money. it's also less clutter for me. however, if i can put singles into palettes, then i don't mind buying singles 🙂
I like palettes when you get a lot of value for the cost, BUT I love buying my favorite colors in singles.
Singles so I can make my own palettes. Being picky, I'm pretty much guaranteed to not like all the colours in a palette and on the occasion that I do like them all, I don't find myself using all of them. I prefer spending my money on things I will most definitely use 😛
This is one of the things I really like about Inglot- you can pick which colours go in your duos, quads, palettes, etc. and they are still priced at a significant discount compared to buying them as singles (though perhaps they could just lower the price of the singles). I don't generally buy palettes because there's usually at least one colour I don't want or need included.
Singles! And the best is when refills exist.
Please, dear brands, do refills, refills cannot be damaged during depotting, refills are more environmental because you don't need to throw away all that plastic, refills are the Good.
But please, stop doing some crappy quads were only 2 colors are useful and of good quality.
I really buy them all! Singles of shadows I know I will really love…and I get more "experimental" with palettes.
Love this question!
I prefer palettes – they're better value and she colours are already matched so that takes the guesswork of what to wear with what. Palettes also come with highlighters, which I love.
That said, I agree that sets tend to have more than a few dud colours. I've always found that there's always something better-matched in another brand. it's a matter of comparison shopping a little harder to end up with an all-winning set of colours.
Usually single eye shadows, except the neutral ones – I find that those are more affordable in palettes and I usually use them all.
I dont care really but I will NOT buy a quad if I think I wont use one color even if I LOVE the other three
I prefer singles. Usually I buy refill pans and make my own palette. I own just one palette (UD Naked Palette) and one duo (NARS Rhajastan).
I'm with you Christine… I like the idea of a palette but I own only a few of them (all purchased last year o_O) because I prefer single eyeshadows so I can choose the perfect shade for me!

Electromagnetic Interference Filtering Reduces Errors in Precision Analog Applications
An often-overlooked problem in equipment using strain gages, transducer interfaces, and current monitors in medical, automotive, and industrial applications is high-frequency interference from external signals. This electromagnetic interference (EMI) can cause large dc offsets in precision analog circuitry through asymmetrical rectification of the RF signal in the input stages of an amplifier.
HDMI Transceivers Simplify the Design of Home Theater Systems
As large-screen HDTVs have achieved widespread acceptance, consumers are expanding their home theater systems to include sound bars and AVRs, enhancing the user experience with superb audio to complement the video performance. Home theater systems can now offer all the latest features of the high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI®)—seamlessly integrated within the equipment.
Minimizing Noise and Power Consumption in Automotive Audio Systems with SigmaDSP
Digital signal processors bring the benefits of home theater to cars, supplanting radio/CD players with multimedia systems, where DSPs enable excellent audio performance and flexibility—and a powerful multimedia experience for passengers.

The Acer Aspire 5749 has a 1,366 x 768 pixel 15.6in screen using a TN panel - the standard for all mid-range laptops of this size. At the price, you simply won't find anything else unless you make do with a tablet hybrid like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer.
TN panels tend to offer the worst image quality of all the most common LCD types (IPS, PVA) but, surprisingly enough given the price, performance is pretty good here. Colour reproduction is fairly rich, where entry-level laptops often look rather cold and sterile, and contrast is good. Of course, this being TN tech, there's plenty of contrast shift once you tilt the screen back, and the Aspire 5749 gives you plenty of scope to blast away the image doing so. The hinge lets you tilt the screen back so there's only about 30 degrees between it and the surface it's resting on - much more than many.
Horizontal viewing angles are respectable. There's plenty of loss of brightness beyond when you stray beyond 45 degrees, but it's capable enough to get two or three people huddled around the display for a spot of gaming or movie-watching.
The pixel arrangement, very close-up
The surface of the display is glossy, which sparks off reflections from light sources, but the maximum brightness setting is enough to cope with most outdoorsy scenarios. Maximum brightness does wash out colours a little, and spoils black depth a tad - the best image performance is found between the 50 and 70 per cent brightness marks. As you might guess from its practical approach to - well - everything, the Aspire 5749 does not have a brightness sensor, so doesn't have an option to tailor backlight intensity to your surroundings automatically.
The keyboard uses a "floating" chiclet design, where each key is a thin plate atop a mechanism at its centre. It's the one element of the Aspire 5749 that's a little interesting, visually. This design does make the keys feel a touch wobblier than a more conventional chiclet design, but there's a decent amount of travel, giving a reasonably satisfying action. The keyboard is an element that really benefits from a non-compact design, allowing for larger keys and removing the need to make the action too shallow.
The trackpad below is nothing too special, but it's an area where a conventional approach really works. Its plastic surface isn't snazzy, but the light texture gives a feel that's not a million miles away from the glass touchpads of Apple's Macbooks - thanks to a similar level of friction.
Underneath, the two mouse buttons are incorporated into a single bar, resulting in a ~1cm dead zone in its middle. It's no biggie, though, and the buttons' action is definite and not too loud. Overly clicky buttons can get annoying if you're going to be tapping away in a lounge with other people nearby, watching Strictly Come Dancing.
Things aren't quite so hot when you let the Aspire 5749 take on AV duties. The stereo speakers, which pipe out sound from two little circular cut-outs in the grill above the keyboard, are pretty weedy, incapable of providing the grunt required to give movies and music the necessary body.

WH Group Said to Consider Cutting $5.3 Billion IPO in HalfFox Hu
WH Group Ltd., the world's biggest pork supplier, is considering cutting the size of its planned $5.3 billion Hong Kong initial public offering by more than half as investors shun new equity, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The company may sell new shares equivalent to 10 percent of its enlarged market capital, about half of what it previously planned, the people said yesterday, asking not to be identified as the information is private. Existing investors including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. may also refrain from selling stock as part of the IPO, the people said.
WH Group follows Japanese hotel owner Seibu Holdings Inc. and Weibo Corp., operator of a Chinese microblogging service, in paring their IPOs this month. Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index has fallen 3.3 percent this year, the second-worst performance among developed markets, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The pork producer may reduce the size of its IPO, which would result in a short delay to the listing, it said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange today. The offering will lapse if the company doesn't set a final offer price by April 28, according to a prospectus filed earlier this month.
WH Group was due to set the final price for the IPO yesterday and start trading April 30, according to the prospectus. A Hong Kong-based external spokesman for WH Group declined to comment. A spokeswoman for Goldman Sachs didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
Most Underwriters
At $5.3 billion, the WH Group IPO would have been Hong Kong's biggest since October 2010, when AIA Group Ltd. raised $20 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company struggled to attract investors even after hiring 28 underwriters, the most ever for an IPO in the city.
WH Group and owners including Temasek Holdings Pte and Goldman Sachs were offering about 3.65 billion shares at HK$8 to HK$11.25 each, the prospectus shows. The company planned to use as much as $4 billion of the IPO proceeds to repay a syndicated loan, the document shows.
WH Group was planning to sell 2.92 billion new shares in the IPO, accounting for 20 percent of the stock outstanding after the sale, according to the prospectus. Existing owners were selling an additional 731 million shares. The company plans to keep the price range unchanged, the people said.
Smithfield Purchase
The Chinese company changed its name from Shuanghui International Holdings Ltd. in January. Shuanghui International bought Smithfield Foods for $4.7 billion in September in the biggest Chinese purchase of a U.S. firm.
The offering is Hong Kong's first multibillion-dollar IPO without cornerstone investors since December 2011, when Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Ltd. raised $2.1 billion. Cornerstone investors typically agree to hold on to their shares for six months in return for guaranteed allocation of stock in an IPO.
Companies that completed IPOs in Hong Kong this year have fallen on average 4.8 percent from their offer prices after adjusting for deal size, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Seibu owners raised 44.5 billion yen ($434 million) in an IPO last week, after initially seeking as much as 186 billion yen. Beijing-based Weibo raised 40 percent less than it originally sought in the U.S., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

McKenzie: Kris Russell will look for 'at least' 5-years, $27.5 million on next contract
Ari Yanover
February 10 2016 04:00PM
February is behind only July when it comes to the best months to follow free agents. July, of course, is when unrestricted free agents get signed, but February is the last month before the trade deadline: a time most prime to trade those expiring contracts, whether you're trying to acquire assets for the future or build up for a playoff run.
In lieu of the impending frenzy of trades hopefully coming our way, Bob McKenzie has chimed in with some thoughts on a couple of impending UFA defencemen, including the Flames' very own Kris Russell.
The main takeaway? Russell is going to cash in. Big.
From McKenzie:
Were Russell to go to July 1, is there any doubt he's going to get at least, emphasis on at least, a five-year offer for $5.5 million? And he may well be looking for more than that, both in term and dollars.
While last season's free agent frenzy didn't yield that many huge contracts - Michael Frolik's $21.5 million deal was one of the bigger ones - typically, when free agency opens, NHL teams go nuts. Considering Russell will be 29 years old come July, and he's come into his own playing top four minutes the past few seasons, it's possible he could garner that kind of contract from a team.
The Flames may want to keep him, but even if he wasn't looking at a potential $5.5 annual average value, it simply doesn't make sense for them. This is a rebuilding team that needs to maximize its assets, and if Russell has that much interest surrounding him, the Flames need to capitalize on that. If he's that widely valued around the NHL, he should fetch a decent return: and that return may be more helpful to the Flames' rebuild than Russell will as he enters his 30s.
That high of a cap hit poses some major problems, though. If Russell is going to cost that much, the Flames need to destroy all thoughts of keeping him and run as far away as they can.
This is similar to the Andrew MacDonald situation. MacDonald was 27 years old when he was approaching free agency, and had been playing top four minutes with the New York Islanders for quite a few seasons. He was the NHL's shot blocking leader, having stopped 242 attempts with his body in 2013-14. He only carried a cap hit of $550,000 when the Islanders traded him to the Philadelphia Flyers; the Flyers then re-signed him to a six-year, $30 million contract.
Just over a season into that contract, MacDonald is in the AHL.
Russell will be 28. He carries a modest cap hit of $2.6 million, and was the NHL's top shot blocker last season (and is second in the NHL at the time of writing).
We can't really compare MacDonald and Russell this season, because MacDonald has only played one NHL game. But last season, when Russell truly broke out as a shot blocker and further established himself as a top four defender, MacDonald played 58 games.
Here's how the two looked in 2014-15:
|CF% rel
|ZSO% rel
|Kris Russell
|Andrew MacDonald
Russell has a definite leg up on MacDonald in points, but that's where it ends. Even when playing in a much more sheltered role, pucks still went against him much more often than they went against MacDonald, including dangerous pucks in the form of scoring chances against.
And remember that MacDonald is the one who got sent down to the AHL this season, while Russell is looking at a massive deal. And it's not like last season was a one-off for Russell: he's on pace for 23 points this season, has a -5.99 CF% rel, a +0.03 ZSO% rel - though he was much more sheltered prior to Dennis Wideman's suspension - and his SCA60 is 31.37, the worst on the Flames.
It took the Flyers a little over a year to regret the contract they signed MacDonald to. It looks like Russell could trend in the same direction, and the Flames don't want to be in the same position. They already have nearly $12 million tied up in their cap between Wideman, Ladislav Smid, and Deryk Engelland until next season. The Flyers have $4.05 million of their cap taken up by MacDonald playing in the AHL.
If Russell ends up with $5.5 million per, and the Flames were to somehow fit him under the cap - which, considering the impending raises for Mark Giordano, Johnny Gaudreau, and Sean Monahan, would already be difficult as is - then his cap hit would fall in between Dougie Hamilton and T.J. Brodie's.
There's a difference between UFA and RFA contracts, as UFAs tend to command more. Russell's next deal will come with him as a UFA, and Brodie's was signed as an RFA. But would you pay Russell more than the $4.65 million Brodie currently sits at? The Flames didn't miss a beat when Russell had to miss three games earlier in the season; they played approximately as well as a group of headless chickens without Brodie.
If Russell is going to command as much as McKenzie estimates, then he has to go. He should go, regardless, for the sake of the rebuild - but the Flames really, really don't need to be the next Flyers.
February 11 2016, 07:48AM
At those numbers, a "hometown discount" would probably mean 4 million which would be equally as devastating. Deadline bait.
You are absolutely right. Paying a 5/6 defenseman $4m plus (almost as much as Brodie) is silly. The Flames are already paying our 5-7th defensemen way too much(ranging from almost $3m to over $5M). Better to give the prospects a look and develop them; who knows what kind of gold we might find there. Brodie developed playing with better players, he now needs to be part of player development.
the question is whether he is a strong/capable 2nd pairing guy... if so, he should get compensated accordingly at @ 4+ mil per.
However, in my opinion he is a 3rd pairing guy.... which puts the compensation at @ 1-2 mil per. the problem is, who is the flames #4 guy, assuming gio/brodie/hamilton are top 3. if they insist on him being a second pairing, they will pay him accordingly. what we need is a legit 2nd pairing or use prospects to fill the #4, #5, & #6 spots...
EDIT: OK, why the 2/1 trash ratio? do the trashes suggest you agree that he is not a 2nd pairing?
February 11 2016, 08:04AM
@Oil City Roller
By all means you are welcome to all the Russell you want!
We will even waive the rival tax and give him to you for 2 seconds, you know since hes a "Good player"
February 11 2016, 08:43AM
That's pretty much the thing... he's played as a 2nd pairing guy but he's not a legit 2nd pairing guy and he shouldn't be paid as such.
My price point on Russell is pretty much at or below what he makes now. Anything else and he just contributes to the #1 issue plaguing the roster right now... the misallocation of resources towards depth. Right now we are paying 4th line/3rd pairing/Spares/Backup around 23M dollars. IMO that's at least double what it should be.
I feel like while Treliving passed the "smartly add" test he's badly flunking the "smartly subtract" test.
1. Sell Russell to the highest bidder for draft pick(s). 2. Go after Travis Hamonic.
Flames' Russell is not a shutdown defenceman
Some years the prices paid for this type of rental are obscene. Let's hope this is one of those years. How can BT not be going into the trade deadline thinking that a late first round pick (at minimum) could be a real possibility? Will be an interesting TDL again this year.
I totally agree that BT extracts a late 1st rounder for Russell. Lots of Russell hate, I don't mind the guy, especially between 2.5 -3.0 mill. He's a decent 4-5 option, unfortunately being utilized by Hartley at #3 minutes. If he was utilized properly, I think maybe the comments would be a little more positive. & here's the thing, all the criticism because he's one of the best shot blockers in the league but GM's & hockey analysts covet that skill. I would think shot blocking would be a huge quality on the PK when possession isn't such a factor. This is more of a pricing of his overall game. Flames (Hartley) have really hooped the team because if the inappropriate use & high TOI has inflated his value but the underlying stats don't support his overall game to justify that kind of TOI per game. But he is getting it consistently, last year, playoffs & all this year. Those minutes & shot blocking skills will net you a late 1st rounder at the TDL. Flames simply cannot afford Russell for what he can get in the open market, thanks Bob. Especially with Wideman & Smid still under contract next year. Russell is gone, all this talk of contract talks is posturing.
They need to sign him to a contract as long as Hamilton so he can keep covering up the poor defensive play of Hamilton. i probably will get banned from flames nation for this comment
February 11 2016, 10:16AM
Well, this is exciting. 5 million plus defenseman should be worth a fair penny this year.

Standing ovation
February 11 2016, 10:48AM
That's why the "advanced" stats are iffy.
February 11 2016, 11:04AM
@Johnny Goooooooaldreau
Why? The Andrew MacDonald comparable is eerily fitting. He was one of the top deadline rentals that year, at roughly the same age as Russell. They were both widely acclaimed for "playing the game the right way", they both blocked a ton of shots. The Islander's received a second and third round pick through trade. MacDonald was signed to a 6-year, 5 million per deal. MacDonald is now in the AHL.
Immediately following the trade, Mark Streit said the following:
"He's a good all-around defenseman," "He plays really well defensively, blocks a lot of shots and has a really good first pass, and obviously got some offense as well. It's a really good mix and he's a great guy in the room too. He wants to win and he competes every night. As I said before he's going to make our team better."
Does that sound familiar?
So, ideally, what we want is a shut down defender that may not get much offence, prevents shots so he doesn't need to block shots to play either as a number 4 or a number 5/6 but preferably the former. Sounds a bit like Spoon.
In any event, how are we going to figure that out if we aren't going to bother playing the young players/prospects (or Nak because we might as well just trade him now as I seriously doubt he will re-sign with this club)?

good catch on the related article-
and passes the smell test as very accurate. I don't know what the team is focusing on - maybe his attitude, leadership and dressing room intangibles... even his shot blocking prowess has been suspect lately as he has on several occasions lately dropped to early and the apposing player simply skated around him for an easy shot at the goal.
February 11 2016, 12:36PM
Standing ovation
Aaaaaasggghhhh!!!!!!!!! Treliving needs to move him before this stuff gets out there! It's one thing for us to know and post it on FN, but this is TSN! That article could be sitting in every GMs inbox by now. What a disaster! Hopefully, hubris and old school thinking on the part of some GM saves the day.

ya, it can't be a good optic to bring in prospects and never give them a chance. And Hartley felt he was better off playing Eng/Smid who were getting killed than to give Nak a few more shifts... wow, I'd like to know his reasoning in this!
February 11 2016, 02:50PM
So I took war-on-ice.com's stats and compiled them for defencemen who've played more than 1000 5v5 minutes since the start of the 2013-14 season, up till the All-Star break this season. That's 216 D-men. Of those, Russell ranked (at 5v5):
32nd-worst in High-Danger Scoring Chances For Per 60.
20th-worst in High-Danger Scoring Chances Against Per 60.
8th-worst in High-Danger Scoring Chances For %.
9th-worst in High-Danger Scoring Chances For % Relative to Team.
4th-worst in Scoring Chances Against Per 60. (Wideman right behind him.)
12th-worst in Scoring Chances For %.
13th-worst in Scoring Chances For % Relative to Team. (Right behind Engelland.)
Absolute worst in Corsi Against Per 60.
13th-worst in Corsi For %.
25th-worst in Corsi For % Relative to Team.
30th-best in Goals For Per 60. Which is offset by...
29th-worst in Goals Against Per 60. These add up to...
15th-highest Goals For and Against Per 60. Which confirms the idea that "Kris Russell is not a shutdown D-man". Too many goals are scored while he's on the ice. And yet somehow, he plays...
9th-highest 5v5 Time-On-Ice Per Game, while riding the...
18th-highest PDO, thanks to the...
2nd-highest On-Ice Shooting %. And yet he is a middling...
121st-best in Goals For %, behind Giordano and Brodie.
Bottom line, those kinds of numbers are not 5.5mill-worthy.
Tangent: If we think that a) he's deployed incorrectly by Hartley, b) Hartley's system is bad for advanced stats (which is fine in a sense; Patrick Roy mentioned not giving two sh*ts about Corsi in Colorado), and c) Russell's developed habits like backing off and blocking shots under Hartley, is it possible that another coach can deploy him correctly and coach the bad habits out of him?
Which is exactly why Nakladal was signed. As well, Kulak and Wotherspoon could play third pairing minutes right now IMO. Andersson and Kylington are one to two yea away. Culkin still has lots of potential if he can stay healthy.
Point is, the Flames do not need to hoard veteran D, they need to clear space for youth.
Again, clearing space is the easy part. Where are they coming from? Ras is 1-2 years, Kylington is 2-4 years. Nak is an unknown (thanks Bob), Kulak is a maybe (thanks Bob), Wotherspoon is likely an AHLer (thanks Bob). We need a #4 next year and we don't yet have one. Again, I'm not supporting Russell but I don't support shedding guys without options. That's what the Oilers did and look where they are.
February 11 2016, 06:39PM
After digging through advanced stats looking for comparables from 2013-14 till now, I hate to say it, but if a 35-year-old Francois Beauchemin gets a 3-year, 4.5mill per deal? Anything's possible for Russell.
Mind you though, Beauchemin was pretty much an even-Corsi player on an even-Corsi Ducks team for several years before moving to the Avs where everybody's Corsi numbers are in the gutters, whereas Russell has spent the past few years already in Corsi gutters.
