A Perfect Day

When you come to the end of a perfect day
And you sit alone without you thought
While the chimes ring out with a carol gay
For the joy the day has brought
Do you think what the end of a perfect day
Can mean to a tired heart
When the sun goes down with a flaming ray
And the dear friends have to part?

Well, this is the end of a perfect day
Near the end of a jouney too
Butit leaves a thought that is big and strong
With a wish that is kind and true
For memory has painted this perfect day
With colours that never fade
And we find at the end of a perfect day
The soul of a friend wa are made

Avoid the heat

As the summer is coming, people may find that their laptop battery will be in a high temperature when it is used in a long time. And this of course is harmful to a laptop.
Almost any electronic device like the laptop battery is built to be carried around may be damaged by temperatures above 100 degrees or so. Even it if doesn't get any damage, the batteries may not be able to perform properly if exposed to high or low temperatures for prolonged periods of time.
The same is true for laptop computers. Many manufactures specify the maximum range or temperatures that their products will safely handle for storage and use.
Use it in a cool environment, the laptop battery can work longer.

The battery meter

Battery meter is not completely accurate in all situations. A portable computer's power consumption varies depending on what you do and how long the activity is taking place. Therefore, the charge and estimated time remaining, laptop battery meter reports contain a certain delay.
Some activities use more energy than others. To switch between activities where the difference in power consumption is much affects how fast the laptop consumes energy. This may imply differences in the calculation of how much power is left in the laptop battery. The remaining time, battery meter reports depends on what you currently do and are affected by what you intend to do next.
Most laptops use lithium ion batteries. Like most batteries lose a lithium-ion batteries gradually lose the ability to store energy when it gets older, regardless if you load it or not. Over time, the change in storage capacity to affect the battery meter accuracy.
If you often make the final and charge on a lithium ion battery, it will quickly lose the ability to hold a charge.
Other factors that affect the battery meter's information is the circuitry that measures the variations in Dell latitude E6400 battery temperature and energy consumption, and the circuit equations to calculate the remaining charge and usage time. Newer "smart" batteries are equipped with circuits that calculate these values and report the information to the battery meter. Older batteries use less sophisticated circuitry that may be less accurate.
If the battery on laptop is charging, or if you have to reload it several times a day, you should replace your battery. These tips can help you maximize the working time of a battery charge and avoid the problems caused by a dead battery.


30-year old laptop battery

Why more and more people choose the laptop instead of the common desktop PC? The most important advantage of a laptop is that it is very convenient to carry. We can use it to surf on the Internet anywhere and anytime. Then we need a good laptop battery.
Setting aside exceptional cases, a battery like has an average duration of about two hours, with a maximum of 10 hours of continuous work on some processors with ultra low power consumption. This record is destined to be broken soon, because, according to a recent study conducted in research laboratories in the United States Air Force, could be very close to the birth of the first battery for notebook battery life of 30 years!
However, we may not expect so long life for a laptop battery, we can also use it in a proper way to make it use longer time.

Windflowers

Windflowers . my father told me not to go near them.
He said he feared them always .
and he told me that they carried him away
Windflowers, Beautiful windflowers
I couldn’t wait to touch them,
to smell them I held them closely.
And now I cannot break away.
Their sweet bouquet disappears
like the vapor in the desert. So take a warning, son.

Acer Aspire One 522

Now there are many brands of laptop in the market. And all the consumers want to buy a good one in both high quantity and low price.
As a manufacturer leading of laptops, the company of Acer has launched its most advanced to date Laptop Acer Aspire One 522. This is hybrid architecture, the on-chip core of the various types combined: CPU and GPU.
From 1997, Acer has had his aim to create a road of a universal machine states and provide the buyer with a few specialized devices. This trend remains, the more he is loyal to the choice of notebook. If you choose a Dell latitude D610 battery, then on one side of the balance power, graphics, multimedia playback, but on the other side of the scale, mobility, battery life, but with previously disabilities and limited functionality.
First acceleration for decoding high-definition video and online content in Adobe Flash format, and HTML5. In addition, greater Dell latitude E5500 battery life, better cooling, smaller device size. You can also expect a decline in the price of the equipment on the platform (Fusion / Brazos) by lowering the total cost of production - reducing the complexity of the PCB, reducing energy consumption.
Fusion initiative a few years ago was called into life began to appear, however, actual products at the end of last year. This delay was due not only to purely technical difficulties that accompany the release of the new product, but also with the complexity and
In this case, as a hybrid computing device to implement (or APU - Accelerated Processing Unit that can be translated as accelerated computing node), similar to what was selected in the processor Intel Atom 4xx series.
So, Acer Aspire One 522 - a new notebook with a 10-inch CrystalBrite, dual-core processor, AMD C-50 (Series Ontario) on the platform AMD Brazos, integrated webcam with high-resolution HD video and HDMI output view HD video with Dell latitude E6500 battery on the big screen. Once a reservation: despite the fact that the processor AMD C-50 belongs to the latest generation of chips, he is the youngest model in the list, so that most valid comparison would be similar to the positioning of the competitors.
Choose it, you will not regret.

How battery works

We can see the battery everywhere in our life. A battery is essentially a can full of chemicals that produce electrons. Chemical reactions that produce electrons are called electrochemical reactions. In this article, you'll learn all about batteries.
As we all know that the battery has two terminals. One terminal is positive, while the other is negative. In an AA, C or D cell, the ends of the battery are the terminals. In a large car battery has two heavy lead posts that act as the terminals.
Electrons collect on the negative terminal of the battery. If you connect a wire between the negative and positive terminals will flow from the negative to the positive terminal as fast as they can. Normally, you connect some type of load to the battery using the wire. The load might be something like a light bulb, a motor or an electronic circuit like a radio.
A chemical reaction produces the electrons. The speed of electron production by this chemical reaction controls how many electrons can flow between the terminals. Electrons flow from the battery into a wire, and must travel from the negative to the positive terminal for the chemical reaction to take place.
That is why a battery can sit on a shelf for a year and still have plenty of power -- unless electrons are flowing from the negative to the positive terminal, the chemical reaction does not take place. Once you connect a wire, the reaction starts.
When we know how the laptop battery works, we can use it in more proper way.

When the laptop battery is not charging

When we use a new laptop battery, we always full charge/discharge it at least 3 times. However when we charge it, something wrong may happen. For example, the laptop battery is not charging. At that time, you should not worry about it. Then follow the steps below.
First, go to Device Manager. If you use Windows XP, click Start, right-click My Computer, choose Properties. Harware tab, click Device Manager. If you use Vista or Windows 7, click Start, device manager type, press Enter.
In Device Manager, click the + for each type of batteries or a small arrow to the left of battery cells. Confirm that you want to remove this driver. Note, it is necessary to comply with the procedure, avoid removing the other driver.
When removing the driver is complete, select the action from the top menu, click Scan for hardware changes section. When the computer finished scanning devices, the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery will reappear.
If after the procedure, the battery for laptop is not charging your battery may be damaged.
Now you only have 3 options: Buy a new battery. Check the number of batteries, power lines ... to buy the right kind of battery; do not use the batteries, which use electricity directly from the source through the adapter.

way back into love

I have been living with a shadow overhead
I have been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I have been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can not seem to move on
I have been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I have been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can not make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I have been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I have been searching but I just do not see the signs
I know that it is out there
There is got to be something for my soul somewhere
I have been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me throught the night
I could use some direction
And I am open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can not make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I am hoping you will be there for me in the end
There are moments when I do not know if it is real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can not make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I am hoping you will show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I will be there for you in the end

How to save energy

When we use the laptop outdoor, we may find the battery energy is a big problem for us sometimes. Many people concern about how to save energy and use the laptop for a long time.
Remove everything from the power supply is connected to the strip. This prevents the waste caused by too many external power supplies in your home. And there are indeed numerous: printer, laptop, digital camera, PSP, hard drives, peripherals of all kinds and so on and so forth.
Connect the power supply to power strips or wall outlets with switch, to disconnect the unit from the mains when not in use. The market offers a plethora of models to suit all budgets and spending figures without going insane enough to buy products of unknown items.
To save energy in digital home you may need to choose wisely. For example, if you do not need a PC hyper, then it is best to avoid buying a desktop with its nice big power supply from 300 or 500 watts, and point to a laptop much less exorbitant in terms of energy.
And if you have both the fixed and mobile, and you plan to leave on a machine all night to download from the internet with bittorrent with the mule or RapidShare, files of large size, should choose the handset: the bill will be lighter and there will be no disadvantage because they do not need so much computing power and the only warning is only to make sure you turn off the monitor so as to conserve the precious light of the LCD and to conserve your battery.
Save energy of laptop battery, you can enjoy with your laptop longer.

Care your laptop battery

When we buy a laptop, most of us want to care for it to achieve the best possible results. That is to say we should use laptop battery in its longest life.
Like the cell phone, new batteries usually come unfilled and require a full charge before use. But the time is not the same. When we first use the cell phone, we may be required to charge it for 10-12h for first 3 times. It is different from the laptop battery. NiCad and NiMH batteries should normally be charged about 16 hours, while in Li-ion time is between five and six hours. Also, to reach its normal mode, the battery need to cycle discharge / charge, usually between two and four times. Be sure to read the booklet that comes with the laptop to make sure that the manufacturer does not offer different ways to bring the batteries in the most efficient state.
When charging the battery for the first time, the indicator may indicate that the process was completed only after 10-15 minutes. This is normal with rechargeable batteries. New batteries are hard to boot from the device, as have never been fully charged and not dead on arrival. Sometimes the boot device may stop charging a new battery before it is fully charged - if this happens, remove the battery and reinsert it to restart the charging cycle. This can be repeated several times in the first battery charge, but there is no room for concern.
Once you finish the initial battery charge, in subsequent operation must also follow certain rules. So please take good care of your battery, for that it has a longer life than before.
Follow the advice above, you can make your laptop battery have a longer life.

A special world

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.

Longer battery life

When some people use the laptop, they may find the battery has been a problem for them, especially when it has been used for some time. So how to longer the laptop battery’s life has been an item that many people concern.
1. If your notebook is always used connected to the mains at 220V, it is necessary to periodically a full charge / discharge. To do this you must use the laptop on battery until it is completely sold out. At that point you can perform a full charge, thus limiting the degradation "natural" capacity of the battery.
2. In several models / brands of notebook is a specific hardware feature, called "battery reconditioning”, which will be launched periodically. For availability of this feature on your laptop, you will need to inspect the items in the BIOS menu, or at least consult the technical documentation of the specific model you own.
3. Remember that the term refers to an extreme difference of even just ten degrees Celsius, compared to 25 ° C recommended by all manufacturers. So avoid keeping the laptop battery in the car for long periods and during cold nights during sunny days, and constantly checked the perfect efficiency of the heat dissipation of the notebook, so that functions continuously at high temperatures.
4.Contrary to what might be recommended to older rechargeable Dell latitude D510 battery, do not use the notebook without the battery inserted into the slot : this may be the oxidation of metal contacts, the irreversible loss of data on which you are working, if black-out on the electricity grid.
Try those above; your laptop battery can be used in longer time.

As long as you love me

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind

It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look in to my eyes
What you did and where you're comin from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby.
I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are

1. Defrag regularly - The faster your hard drive does its work, the less demand you are going to put on the hard drive and your battery. Make your hard drive as efficient as possible by defragging it regularly. Mac OSX is better built to handle fragmentation so it may not be very applicable for Apple systems.

However these programs, like ITunes, Desktop Search, etc. can add to the CPU load and cut down battery life. Shut down everything that isn’t crucial when you’re on battery to reduce the burden of the battery.
4. Cut down external devices – Some people like to use the USB devices to access the mouse, keyboard, camera to be convenient and protect the laptop itself. However, these can drain down your laptop battery. Remove or shut them down when not in use. It goes without saying that charging other devices with your laptop when on battery is a surefire way of quickly wiping out the charge on your laptop battery.
5. Add more RAM -This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. Virtual memory results in hard drive use, and is much less power efficient. Note that adding more RAM will consume more energy, so this is most applicable if you do need to run memory intensive programs which actually require heavy usage of virtual memory.

6. Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD - As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. Even having one in the drive can be power consuming. They spin, taking power, even when they’re not actively being used. Wherever possible, try to run on virtual drives using programs like Alcohol 120% rather than optical ones.
7. Keep the battery contacts clean: Clean your battery’s metal contacts every couple of months with a cloth moistened with rubbing alcohol. This keeps the transfer of power from your battery more efficient.
8. Take care of your battery – Exercise the Battery. Do not leave a charged battery dormant for long periods of time. Once charged, you should at least use the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Also, do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge. (Discharging is only for older batteries with memory effects)
9. Hibernate not standby – Although placing a laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it doesn’t save anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. Hibernating a PC will actually save your PC’s state as it is, and completely shut itself down.

10. Keep operating temperature down - Your laptop operates more efficiently when it’s cooler. Clean out your air vents with a cloth or keyboard cleaner, or refer to some extra tips by LapTopMag.com.
11. Set up and optimize your power options – Go to ‘Power Options’ in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the ‘max battery’ for maximum effect).
12. Don’t multitask – Do one thing at a time when you’re on battery. Rather than working on a spreadsheet, letting your email client run in the background and listening to your latest set of MP3s, set your mind to one thing only. If you don’t you’ll only drain out your batteries before anything gets completed!
13. Go easy on the PC demands – The more you demand from your PC.  Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD. If you’ve got a single battery charge – pick your priorities wisely.
14. Get yourself a more efficient laptop - Laptops are getting more and more efficient in nature to the point where some manufacturers are talking about all day long batteries. Picking up a newer more efficient laptop to replace an aging one is usually a quick fix.
15. Prevent the Memory Effect - If you’re using a very old laptop, you’ll want to prevent the ‘memory effect’ – Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (which most laptops have) which do not suffer from the memory effect.

Hope these can help you make your laptop battery life longer.

Blackhawk get tougher in 2011

The Chicago Blackhawks hope to win the Stanley Cup in 2011-12. So they have added a splash of physical and experienced players to a core of younger and highly skilled stars.
Chicago held on to restricted free-agent left wing Michael Frolik by signing him to a three-year, $7 million contract, then signed unrestricted free-agent defenseman Sami Lepisto to a $750,000, one-year deal.
Frolik, 23, had three goals and six assists in 28 games with Chicago Blackhawks last season after being acquired from Florida in February. Lepisto, 26, had four goals and 12 assists in 70 games with Phoenix and Columbus.
Meanwhile, general manager Stan Bowman said the team would no longer attempt to re-sign restricted free agent defenseman Chris Campoli, who played well for Chicago Blackhawks after being acquired from Ottawa on Feb. 28.
“It was apparent from the beginning that their salary demands were just not in concert with where we see him fitting in with our team,” Bowman said. “He’s not going to be back with us.”
The Chicago Blackhawks won their first Stanley Cup in 49 years in 2010 with a quick, slick, high-scoring team. But they slipped badly last season and squeaked into the playoffs on the final day of the regular season.
Bowman began shaking up the team at the NHL draft late last month. He dealt defenseman Brian Campbell—and his $7.1 million annual salary—to Florida for forward Rostislav Olesz, and traded forward Troy Brouwer to Washington for a 2011 first-round draft pick.
A week later, Bowman acquired rugged, 31-year-old defenseman Steve Montador from Buffalo, then signed him to a four-year contract. Montador, who was set to become a free agent, had a career-best plus-16 rating with the Sabres, along with give goals and 21 assists.
When free agency opened on July 1, Bowman signed forwards Andrew Brunette, Jamal Mayers, Dan Carcillo and Brett McLean, and defenseman Sean O’Donnell.
Brunette, 37, has 706 points in 1,032 NHL games and could end up playing with some of the Chicago Blackhawks stars —including Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa—on one of the team’s top two lines.
Kane will have surgery on his left wrist but expects to be ready for the start of the season.
Mayers, Carcillo and O’Donnell are role players known for their physical styles. Carcillo, who earned the nickname “Car Bomb” with Philadelphia, also carries the tag of “agitator.”
Bowman said his goal has been to make the Blackhawks “harder to play against,” as well as a team that can alter the flow of a game with more than just offensive bursts.
“It seemed like if we scored a goal, we would be able to change the momentum of games, but it was our only mechanism to get going when things weren’t working from the start (last season),” Bowman said. “Sometimes you need to have other players that contribute different things.
“You need to be able to change the momentum, and that’s usually with guys who play a certain (physical) style. That’s why we’ve added all those payers while we’ve kept all our top guys.”
Coach Joel Quenneville says he’s looking forward to deploying new options this season.
“We got some experience, some size, some toughness,” he said. “We got a lot of guys with motivation behind as well.
“We’ve got a great core, and those (new) guys should complement our team and the game we’re looking to play.”
The 39-year-old O’Donnell said he’s willing to do whatever it takes to help the Chicago Blackhawks back to the Cup.
“Anyway I can help the team do that, and get this team back on top, I would be happy to do,” he said.
After the trade recently, the Chicago Blackhawks have got tougher. Hope they have good performance next season.

The biggest deals in NHL history

Each season, the NHL will have a lot of trades. Among them the one that Edmonton trades Wayne Gretzky, Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski to Los Angeles Kings for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, three first-round picks and cash can be called the biggest one.
Gretzky had just led the Oilers to their fourth Stanley Cup in five years, and the team's nucleus still was in its prime. But owner Peter Pocklington decided that Gretzky, whose contract was due to expire a year later, would become unaffordable and began shopping him. He found a willing partner in Los Angeles Kings Owner Bruce McNall, who was looking to making an impact with a team that never had enjoyed much success.
The deal rocked the sports world. The idea that Gretzky could leave Western Canada for Southern California left Canadians in shock. The Los Angeles Kings gave up Carson, a 50-goal scorer who was just turning 20; Gelinas, a promising young forward, first-round picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993, and $15 million for hockey's greatest player and a pair of veterans in McSorley and Krushelnyski.
The trade was an instant win for the Los Angeles Kings. Gretzky immediately made the Los Angeles Kings relevant in Southern California, and attendance soared as Los Angeles Kings Games became celebrity-filled events. The Los Angeles Kings beat the Oilers in the playoffs that spring, and in 1993 made the only trip to the Stanley Cup Final in franchise history.
Even more important was Gretzky's impact off the ice. The growth of hockey in warm-weather markets -- with talent already in the pipeline and lots more on the way -- may be Gretzky's biggest legacy to hockey, even more than all the records he holds.
The Oilers rebounded from their 1989 playoff loss to the Los Angeles Kings and won the Cup again in 1990 -- their fifth championship in seven years. They haven't won since, and haven't made the playoffs since 2006, the only time since their last Cup that they got to the Final.
