First and foremost, it is the only model I've seen that uses a real video input; so far, every portable monitor to pass through the labs uses DisplayLink software to grab video from the host's USB port. Additionally, the On-Lap 1302 offers color controls while the others do not. And last, but not least, it is the thinnest and most attractive monitor of the bunch. It also delivers bright, bold colors and sharp small text, but it's not without issues; the panel's dark grayscale performance is abysmal, and its viewing angle performance could be better. Design and Features Weighing a scant 1.4 pounds and measuring 8.8 by 13.1 by 0.32 inches (HWD) the On-Lap 1302 is a pleasure to carry around, but it doesn't come with a protective travel cover like the one that ships with the Lenovo LT1421 ($199.99 list, 4 stars) and the DoubleSight DS-90U ($169 list, 3 stars). Above the input port is a hinged mounting plate that sits flush up against the back cover until you pull it out. The plate has a cross-shaped female slot that matches up to a male slotted plate which attaches to the back of your laptop lid using the included double sided tape. Then, just slide the On-Lap 1302 onto the laptop plate, and you've got a side-by-side dual monitor configuration. If you don't want to attach the On-Lap 1302 to your laptop, you can use the included Stand Bricks. The Stand Bricks are made of hard rubber and are a sickly green color that clashes with the white and silver monitor. Each brick is notched to fit onto the sides of the monitor, toward the bottom. You then stand the monitor up and can adjust the angle by sliding each brick up or down. Not only are the bricks unattractive, they don't provide much support either. A picture frame stand like the one used on the Lenovo LT1421 and AOC e1649Fwu ($139 list, 3.5 Stars) is a much better, more aesthetically pleasing solution. Installing the On-Lap 1302 is simply a matter of connecting one end of the Y-cable to the monitor, connecting the USB cable to the PC's USB port (for power), and plugging the HDMI port into PC's HDMI output. If your PC doesn't have an HDMI output you can use the VGA/USB y-cable. The monitor is plug and play so there are no drivers to install, and since the monitor is using a dedicated video port there's no need to load DisplayLink software like you do with a USB monitor. All you have to do is use your graphics control panel to set up the monitor as a primary display, an extended desktop, or a mirror of the primary display, and you're ready to go. Additionally, you can also use the control panel to rotate the screen image to portrait mode. The On-Lap 1302 lets you adjust brightness, contrast, color (red, blue, green), and color temperature levels using the four touch sensitive buttons on the lower bezel. Granted, that's not a lot of settings compared to a typical desktop display but its more than what you get with portable USB monitors, which only offer brightness settings. Performance The On-Lap 1302 looks great when viewed straight on but if you're watching from the sides there's a smattering of color shifting to deal with. Top and bottom viewing angle performance is another story; from the bottom the screen darkens to the point where most colors are unidentifiable, and from the top the screen washes out. I used the HDMI connection to connect to a PS3 and fired up Burnout Paradise, a street racing game with lots of fast action. The monitor's 16-millesecond pixel response (black-to-white) is not ideal for gaming, and there were noticeable motion artifacts throughout the game, but the fact that you can connect to the PS3 without experiencing lag is noteworthy. USB monitors don't have that ability and are susceptible to significant lag due to the sluggish USB connection. Conclusion Stunning looks, solid colors, and the ability to use a dedicated digital video signal make the GeChic On-Lap 1302 a compelling choice for a portable monitor. And it is thin and light enough to take along with you wherever you go, although you may want to find some way to protect it while traveling. Weak viewing angle and dark grayscale performance hold this beauty back, however, and the pea-green Brick Stand supports have got to go. Our Editors' Choice, the Lenovo LT1421, may not be as pretty as the On-Lap 1302, but when it comes to performance it is still the best portable monitor out there.

Liability-Only Coverage Protection below this strategy is limited to liability only and is also administered with the California Automobile Assigned Danger Program. The policies are written by insurance coverage businesses licensed to supply insurance coverage solutions in the state. Every county in CA sets premium premiums on an annual basis. Premiums paid by participants are designed to cover losses and bills towards the System on the county-by-county foundation. Installment strategies are obtainable to create having to pay for coverage simpler. Unmarried, male drivers will probably be topic to some twenty five % surcharge on their premium prices. Qualifying For CLCA The income demands for CLCA are as follows: - Just one Individual Earning $26,000 or less each year - A Two-Person Household Earning $35,000 or much less per year - A Household of 4 Earning $53,000 or much less per year - A Family members of Eight Earning $89,000 or less annually Other Aspects The subsequent aspects may also be considered: - No at fault accidents creating bodily accidents or possibly a fatality inside the previous three many years - A minimum of 19 years of age - Owning a vehicle really worth $20,000 or much less - No loss of license during the prior 3 many years Insurance businesses in California give the CLCA program to help excellent drivers afford insurance coverage coverage. For those people who find it challenging to acquire the protection they're essential to hold by regulation, it's a good possibility. California auto insurance coverage firms are obligated to distribute policies with liability coverage of 15/30/5. Loads of drivers favor to raise this protection together with the intention of protecting their residences and other possessions. The online world can offer huge possibilities when deciding what kind of protection works greatest. It is a prudent thought to involve medical payment protection along with the auto insurance coverage, contemplating the fact that medical interest can price a large number of bucks. With this approach, customers will not need to be anxious about an incident victim filing a lawsuit for a large number of dollars that their insurance coverage does not incorporate. Collision coverage is a critical element to any insurance coverage because it covers the damages completed for the account holder's very own automobile in the event of an incident. Without having collision protection, men and women won't be able to meet the price of acquiring their own car repaired. On the other hand, complete insurance covers other inopportune car incidents which include theft, all-natural catastrophe, and hearth. With this particular protection, folks are capable to replace what was stolen or have their automobile repaired for only the cost of their deductible. Uninsured motorist coverage safeguards persons in case their automobile must meet with the incident with someone who doesn't have auto insurance. This type of insurance coverage arrives in helpful when individuals really need to restore their auto right after an incident which was not their fault. California is literally crawling with drivers that are desperate to seek out low-cost auto insurance organizations. The interesting thing is, there are several affordable businesses which just about every driver can make the most of, but which several drivers seem to over search. Clearly the ideal location to seek out inexpensive car protection is on-line, there is no query about that. On the internet dealers have nearly no overhead as well as competition is cutthroat - which usually means that prices are sliced towards the bone. In fact, getting your auto policy on the net is like acquiring it at wholesale. But if you truly want the definitely lowest value you can possibly spend for your car insurance then you've received to start out together with the lowest priced policy that it is legal to sell in California and after that find approaches to price reduction that on-line. The lowest priced auto protection cannot be enhanced on. It really is California's Reduced Price Car Insurance Program, much better referred to as CLCA. This can be a standard liability coverage particularly designed for those individuals who have to have economic help. In order to qualify for this insurance coverage - which charges underneath $400 a year - you should meet specified eligibility specifications. To determine when you qualify merely contact (toll no cost) 1-866-602-8861. Should you do not qualify for your CLCA plan don't despair. California includes a standard liability coverage that any one can qualify for and that's just about as affordable. It's California's 15/30/5 liability policy. If you're at fault in an accident this coverage pays a greatest of $15,000 toward the medical bills of any one particular individual who is injured and it pays a greatest of $30,000 if two or much more individuals suffer an injury. What's more, it pays a maximum of $5,000 toward the repair of the other person's car and for almost any other home harm. Naturally this insurance coverage is fairly risky because of its reduced payouts. In even a moderate-sized accident health-related payments might be nicely in extra of $15,000 for every person and $5,000 will barely spend for any dented fender on numerous modern automobiles. If medical or house harm bills exceed what this insurance pays you then could be liable to pay the remainder out of your personal pocket or purse. Also, an essential liability policy pays practically nothing for your accidents or for any accidents to any passengers in your vehicle, nor does it pay for your restore of the vehicle. Still, a low-cost simple liability coverage tends to make it 100% legal for you to generate in California and, as mentioned prior to, in case you verify on the web and make price comparisons at several of the websites that encourage you to examine car insurance costs right here in California, it's best to have the ability to find even a basic liability coverage at wholesale costs. 0 denver nuggets palmetto rob lowe fox news sanctum the notebook duke basketball Saturday, April 7, 2012Reality check on Russia's 'zombie ray gun'![]() Itar-Tass / Reuters Russian leader Vladimir Putin stands with a gun at a shooting gallery of the new GRU military intelligence headquarters building in Moscow during a 2006 visit. Last month, Putin said nations would eventually develop new types of weapons, including "psychophysical" weapon systems. By Alan Boyle Are we on the brink of an arms race over zombie ray guns? You might think so, based on the alarms being rung over Russia's potential to create mind-scrambling weapons. But the reality is that it'll be a long time before we have to worry about super-soldiers taking over our brains. The Americans as well as the Russians have been looking into psychotronic weapons for more than 15 years. You can find ample references to the subject on the Internet, including a feature published by U.S. News and World Report in 1997 and a report written for a U.S. Army publication in 1998. Such weapons purport to take advantage of the effect that pulsed microwaves can have on brain activity. Some researchers have reported an effect known as microwave hearing, in which a directed beam of radiation produces a sensation of buzzing, clicking or hissing in the head. "This technology in its crudest form could be used to distract individuals," according to a declassified Army review of non-lethal weapons. Theoretically, electromagnetic beams could cause an epileptic-type seizure, or involuntary eye motion leading to dizziness and nausea. Military researchers have also looked into using infrasound or laser beams to confuse or incapacitate a foe ? but when you start going down this road, before you know it, you're talking about remote viewing, ESP and all the way-out concepts chronicled in "The Men Who Stare at Goats." The Russian connection Moscow is planning to set up an advanced military research agency similar to the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, and Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov referred to those plans on March 22. Here's what the RIA Novosti news agency quoted him as saying during a meeting with Prime Minister (and President-elect) Vladimir Putin:
Putin, who begins his presidential term next month, pledged during the campaign that he would beef up Russia's military. In February, he laid out his national security plan in an article published by Rossiiskaya Gazeta. At the time, most of the news reports picked up on Putin's call for almost $770 billion in spending over the course of a decade to modernize the armed forces. But Putin also observed that the current balance of power, held in place by nuclear arsenals, could well shift in the future due to new technologies. It was in that context that he brought up the psychotronic angle:
In the wake of Serdyukov's comments, folks dredged up Putin's reference to "psychophysical" weapons, added in some background about the research into electromagnetic mind control, and voila: the zombie ray gun. Last week, Britain's Daily Mail suggested that the guns "could be used against Russia's enemies and, perhaps, its own dissidents by the end of the decade." The Mail also quoted Anatoly Tsyganov, head of the Military Forecasting Center in Moscow, as saying microwaves could make for "a highly serious weapon":
Based on that comment, Tsyganov was apparently talking about a different kind of non-lethal weapon, an analog to the millimeter-wave "pain ray" that the U.S. military has been working on for years. As we noted a couple of weeks ago, the beam of radiation can be directed at a crowd, producing a severe burning sensation on the skin that forces the target to jump away instinctively. Live PollAre you worried about psychotronic weapons?
VoteTotal Votes: 1413 How fast can mad scientists work? The bottom line is that Russia certainly seems to be on track to set up its own DARPA-like "Department of Mad Scientists," working on heat rays, mind-altering electromagnetic beams and heaven knows what else. But there's nothing in the comments from Putin and Serdyukov to suggest that the Russians are anywhere close to having psychotronic weapons. In fact, Putin makes it sound as if the next frontier in warfare won't be the zombie ray gun but the coordinated cyber-attack. And that's scary enough for me. What do you think? Please feel free to register your opinion in the unscientific poll above, and the comment space below. Update for 11 p.m. ET: A couple of commenters noted that the zombielike picture that originally accompanied this item had a caption that didn't quite square with the lore for the "Left 4 Dead" video game. The more I learned about the game, the more I saw that the picture really didn't fit. So I've put in the picture of a gun-toting Putin instead. Thanks to the gamers who pointed out the problem. If I ever play "Left 4 Dead," I'll want you on my side. More about weapons technologies: Alan Boyle is msnbc.com's science editor.

They are often referred to in the press as ?mumtrepenuers? and many opt to run their own business from home as this allows more time for the family too. As a result, many are turning to hosting jewellery parties in order to top up, or even bring in, their income and London Rock has recently launched a range of wholesale jewellery suitable for such parties. Hosting jewellery parties where homemade and wholesale items are bought and sold is an example of the type of home business that so called ?mumtrepenuers? are making headway with. The last few years has seen a surge in home businesses with people looking for ways to make money in less traditional ways. With the current economic climate as it is, and jobs being hard to come by, many people are beginning to work for themselves in an attempt to beat the recession. These methods have proved particularly popular amongst some mothers who have used these ventures as a source of income that still allows them time to take care of their children. Jewellery parties are a popular trend currently with people selling their own handmade jewellery at these events or products provided by suppliers for cater to this specific market. Whereas some companies will offer the opportunity to do this on a commission-only basis, some like Manchester based company London Rock, are now making it possible for them to purchase wholesale costume jewellery, handing over both profit and control to the seller. Martina, a single mother from Blackburn said, ?It?s fantastic, with being a single mum I found it tough to find my way back into the workplace. Now I?m working for myself I still have time to look after my kids, so I don?t have to fork out for expensive childcare.? She continues, ?By buying wholesale jewellery I have total control over the business and no quotas to work to unless I set them myself. It?s quite liberating really.? There are also many people who have taken up party hosting on a part-time basis on top of their normal 9-5 jobs to gain business experience. Anna, an office administrator from Cambridge states, ?I have a good job and make pretty good money but I find working for myself far more rewarding. I have always wanted to get into business and I think that hosting these parties will be a good stepping stone for me. It?s difficult at the moment to get finance to start up, and this is a great way to get experience and build up from the bottom before I jump into anything more serious? It is estimated that thousands of these so called ?mumtrepreneurs? are playing host to people looking to buy good quality costume and fashion jewellery. Christine from Stockport said, ?Selling jewellery just made sense to me. If you find the right supplier you?d be amazed at how cheap you can get it, and as long as you have an eye for quality, you have no problem selling it.? On the growth of her business she also states, ?I only started up a few months ago and have been really happy with how quickly my little business has grown? London Rock, an established leading supplier specialising in wholesale fashion jewellery are keen to get people selling their jewellery from home. Gemma Jensen, the CEO of London Rock said, ?I think it?s absolutely brilliant that so many women have taken the initiative to set up their own business, especially now that times are tough. We love that people are turning their lives around, and are proud to be part of that? she continues, ?We are a family run company ourselves and to know that our products are helping other families succeed is a fantastic feeling for us? There have been a number of high profile success stories reported in the press recently which may also have contributed to this new trend, but with more and more people reailsing they can be their own boss and make money from home needing only basic facilities, it seems that this trend is set to continue for a long time to come. London Rock is an established, family run, wholesaler specialising in high quality costume and fashion jewellery.
