Where do I began. After using an older IBM Thinkpad 600e

this thing is a hoss. Fast processor , and Fast RAM, does everything I need , and then some. Feels solid, reliable, no heating issues, runs for hours on end if needed. I'm using two , yes two ,operating systems on this computer, both Windows XP Professional, and Linux Mint 11. It runs both without any problems, complications or issues. Screen resolution is amazing, boot up time is fast, and I've easily found software specifically for this machine easily through the IBM Website. Added the movie player, and RecordNow. Both of which I use, and often. 

Internet connectivity with the built in wireless card is so nice, efficient, and handy not having a wireless card sticking out in the way. Connectivity is better, built in Wireless-G card works very well in both Windows and Linux mode. 

As far as battery life, the battery that arrived with the laptop wasn't so great, no one can really warranty a used battery anyway, a new 9-cell high capacity battery is on it's way, and I'm expecting easily 4-5 hours of mobile time with this unit, this information from just simple Googling . 

These IBM Thinkpad's are extraordinarily durable machines, structurally sound, with plenty of protection around the motherboard, processor, and all internal components, built to do business, but very stable machines for the average home user. Faster processor and 2GB RAM provide fast operating processing, internet usage , and user friendly to boot. My machine even has the built in fingerprint reader, I'm not using it yet, but I plan to set it up soon. 

As with all computers, protect them, keep your anti-virus software up to date, check your firewall settings and stay away from any sites that don't look secure, or anything your AV software warns you about. You take care of your machine, and it'll take care of you !. 

I can't say enough good things about IBM Products, I owned my older Thinkpad ( a '99 model ) running WinXP with no problems ,complications or issues, I never called or e-mailed tech support, because I never needed it. 

I purchased this machine because I needed more processing power, and more hard drive space, and it was simply time to upgrade, based on my personal usage of the machine. 

As far as likes, I like everything about this machine, dislikes ?, I wished I'd bought it sooner / 

Compared to other machines , most of my experience with Dell laptop's and HP Pavilions, My experience with IBM Computers has been the most productive and trouble free usage I've had to date. Grab an IBM Thinkpad T60 , and enjoy your mobile computing experience ASAP.

Vessel Sinks -Choosing the right Drain Faucet & Support

There are several faucet choices for use with bathroom vessel sinks of any material. First, check your current plumbing limitations, supply valves height and the style of vanity you select. Your choices may require reconfiguration of your supply valves depending on the vanity you choose. If it is an open style pedestal that exposes the valves or it is a vanity that will conceal the valves. Of course if you want a wall mount faucet a bit more plumbing work is involved.

For shallow vessels it is generally recommended that you choose a faucet that directs the water towards the center of the vessel. With taller vessel sinks it is not so important that the water be directed as the height prevents most splashing.

Faucet finishes come in a wide variety of colors and qualities. Oil Rubbed Bronze and Brushed Nickel continue to be hot as well as the always popular chrome finish. Black plated finish faucets are getting more and more popular and a wider variety of matching towel bars and shower heads are not available.

Vessel sink faucets range in size generally from 6" to 14" and most glass vessel sinks are 5.5" Tall. These are also mounted on support rings which add about 1/2" of height.

If you are using stone material for your countertop make sure your faucet connection at the bottom will allow enough thickness as many faucets are designed not with that need but more to install in thin applications that do not require so much material to pass through.

Drain systems are also relatively simple to install for vessel sinks. The most common is the "push to lock" system where you push the top dome of the cap to lock and unlock your drain so your sink can hold water. The underside of these drains after they pass through the vessel sink can connect to your existing plumbing with a variety of parts most of which are available at your local hardware store. Most drain systems are sold with what we call a short system, which is the drain head and immmediate neck pipe. The Trap system which carries the waste water in a 90 degree turn back to the wall can also be purchased in a variety of colors.

Vanities that are open underneath require nicer plumbing parts as you will want your finished bathroom to be modern and clean in appearance and plastic plumbing parts are just not that attractive. Consider a full drain system if you dont want to see the parts.

You can't ship anything with DC if it is not classed as a First Class Mail Parcel

Ive been smacked with that rule twice myself. It depends on what kind of a day the clerk who runs them in to the system is having I think.

After the second time I started making sure I tossed in a packing peanut or wad of bubble wrap just to make sure it was thick enough.

Both times I did go back to the post office, point out their own rules, and ask to speak to the post master who had to agree with me, unfortunately, because they had cancled my postage, I still had to pay again *Sigh*

Let me start by saying that this putter saved my golf game.

I've had love/hate relationships with various putters over the years, and this last case of the yips almost made me quit. As I last resort I decided to trade in my 34" traditional style putter and get a heavier mallet-style 43" belly putter. This putter seemed to fit the bill so I took a chance and bought it. And WOW, after a little practice at home on the area rug, I went to my local course and didn't 3 putt once in the first round. This putter is extremely easy to line up thanks to the alignment aid on top. The weighting is great for me, as I have seen a massive improvement in distance control. I'm not an old guy so my buddies gave me some grief in the beginning, but after a roll in a long one or two, they were at a loss for words. I'd recommend this putter to anyone who battles the yips.

even compared to other period cameras such as the X700 Minolta

the Nikon FE(2), Pentax MEsuper and Olympus OM-2. Again, compared to the other manufacturers the film advance feels like its full of sand. Loud. They're loud, which translates into vibration, something you do not want, especially for macro work. Moving on, they do NOT have OTF (Off The Film) metering, consequently they were furnished with a ridiculous plastic slide that supposedly was to be kept on the flash shoe as a cover that was to be fitted over the viewfinder when taking pictures with your eye away from the viewfinder to avoid exposure errors. They are totally battery dependent, which can be a problem because they use a relatively rare battery instead of the industry standard LR44/MS76.

Finally let's look at the auto exposure system. Its no surprise they are the ONLY company and ONLY camera to use Shutter Priority as the only available automatic exposure mode. Every other manufacturer uses Aperture Priority on their comparable cameras. The simple reason for this is Aperture Priority is more intuitive and arguably faster with the adjustment ring adjacent to the focus ring and falling naturally under your fingers! Oh, and let's not forget the Canon Squeak/Cough/Wheeze that signals a dry gear train and immanent failure. This will happen decades before such things as Pentax Spotmatics will give up the ghost.

In summary, did they sell more units than the competition? Absolutely. Their advertising was the best in print, TV and radio. Do they take good pictures? Yes, as good as the person behind the camera is capable of doing. Will one serve the purpose be it for nostalgia or photography class that mandates a camera that can be controlled manually? Absolutely. Cameras are a tool, AE-1's are just a relatively crude tool. There are better choices.

Nelson kept the Magic's momentum going and found Howard

After a badly missed jumper by Kendrick Perkins, Nelson kept the Magic's momentum going and found Howard for an alley-oop.

But Durant stayed hot with a 19-foot jumper that quickly stilled the crowd.

Ryan Anderson banked in a 3 in the closing seconds and Daequan Cook missed a pair of free throws with 3.1 seconds left to set up Richardson's last heave.

""There's no chance to run when your defense is as bad as ours was in the fourth -- it's going to hurt your offense,"" Van Gundy said. ""The two go hand-in-hand, but we just literally didn't play any defense whatsoever in the fourth quarter.""

It was the Magic who were hot in the opening 24 minutes and took 53-50 lead into the break.

Orlando held as much as a nine-point edge, shooting 55 percent (21 for 38) in the half and connecting on six 3s. The Thunder shot 48 percent (20 for 41), but the Magic also limited them to nine fast break points while holding a 24-20 advantage on points in the paint.

It helped offset Westbrook's 17 first-half points, with Anderson pacing the Magic with 10 points.

""We're getting better, man, we're getting better,"" Durant said. ""Playing against a great team like this at their place. Being down 11 going into the fourth. We could have easily just given in. But we kept playing, kept fighting, and guys made plays. It's a big-time win for us.""
