TOSHIBA SATELLITE L510

3 weeks ago,I laid my hands on the new Toshiba Satellite L510 which came with Window Vista Home Premium Edition. This notebook cost me MYR2400 which is an affordable price for a medium end laptop. Specifications wise, the build-in cooling fan is fully automatic that detects heat via heat sensor. As for the display graphics, It's 14" inch full HD with 4GB of ram memory. Below is some specs review of this brand new TOSHIBA SATELLITE.








The standard 0.3 MP webcam. Not that great, but for greater quality, just plug-in external webcam.













Toshiba keyboard in Satellite L510 feels great when typing on it.












    Sound quality is debatable.












     The quick access buttons are pretty standard, just like the previous L310 series.











Offical Toshiba Specifications Sticker. Really love the Clear Superview Full HD 14.0″ Display.








Toshiba L510 also features Intel Core 2 Duo.













Card Reader slot, Volume control button and Wireless Indicator LED located at the front part.






For the LED indicators, most of them are located on the front panel, such as Charging LED, Power LED, Battery Indicator, HDD indicator and Memory Card indicator.








Not forgetting the Express Cards slot which is missing in some other brands. Toshiba did maintain this in their notebook, although it might not be put into use most of the times.








On the left side, exists the VGA port, Ethernet port, HDMI port, eSata + USB combo port, Headphone and Microphone jack. About the eSata + USB combo port, this is very convenient and good combination. If you don’t use the eSata port, you can use the USB. So, it makes this machine has 3 USB ports which is also a Must have for a good notebook.








A Double Layer DVD-RW is a necessity now and a must have for any notebook.









For connectivity, it is equipped with two USB ports, 1 modem port on the right where the DVD-RW is located.

























On the design part, it has more textures now, with similar design to Satellite M300 series. And of course more elegant. Its Toshiba.

























This new series of L510, which has better design, slightly smaller size, and better performance of course. All the processors that came with it has been upgraded, from T6400 to T6500, T4200 to T4300 now. High Performance works really great.

Quote from Tupac Shakur






















All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.

FORGET ME NOT by INGENUE FATALE

There are few things Jacob Black knows he will remember for the rest of his life.



He will never forget the day he walked home in the rain, only to meet Billy on the porch with the words, “Your mother’s gone.” There was a ripping pain in his chest and even now, he sometimes feels a twinge when he remembers her.



He will never forget the first time he is told the stories of his ancestors, full of myth and intrigue. He listens closely, but brushes aside the fables, thinking nothing more of them. For Jacob, the words are camp stories, only to be told around a fire in order to scare the others. He doesn’t miss the disapproving look Billy sends him when he laughs it off, but at the time, he couldn’t care less.



He remembers the first time he ever looked beneath the hood of a car. He can practically still smell the oil grease and the way it slicked onto his fingers. It started a hobby, a lifelong dream, and Jacob knows it is part of who he is. When Quil and Embry come over, he tries to talk shop with them, but they shrug and ask where the food is. Jacob doesn’t mind; that’s just a part of who they are.



Bella Swan’s face is forever engraved in his mind. He remembers seeing her on the beach that one night and how his heart seemed to skip a beat. The walk they took together in the moonlight is one for the memories and though he now knows she merely wanted answers, he forgives her for her cunning flirtations because he was more than willing to return the affections.



Showing up to the Forks Prom is something Jacob wishes he couldn’t remember, but the memory is there, if only because of how beautiful Bella looked with her hair curled, her face shining with happiness. If he clenches his fist hard enough, he remembers the way he held her as they danced, swaying from side to side, and he forgets that the vampire wasn’t there, watching his every move.



But above all, Jacob will never forget the day Sam Uley walked back onto the reservation saying, “I found her; she’s safe now.” There had been questions and Jacob doesn’t think he’s ever seen Sam so angry when he speaks of what he’s found out. Pure hatred and anger fills Jacob up so quickly, he feels like his body will burst and all he can think about is how he can somehow make those vampires pay for breaking Bella apart.



Even on the reservation, Jacob hears the whispers and rumors of the town high school. He thinks of what is being said about Bella and her practically comatose state of depression as he walks up the pathway to Charlie Swan’s front door. The cruiser is nowhere in sight, so Jacob’s not worried that he’ll get caught, but it’s not like he’s doing something illegal anyway.



The sun is fading in the distant sky as he knocks on the door, knowing she won’t answer, but he can’t help but try. He strains to hear anything from inside, but there’s only silence. He leans down and places the flowers in front of the door, moving as slow as he can in case Bella decides to answer the knock. By the time he straightens up again, nothing has changed and he places his fingertips on the door. He wishes he has superpowers so he can heal her; make her realize that she doesn’t need him to survive.



Later, Jacob will remember the way he felt when he left those flowers, when he felt the door beneath his fingers. That precise moment was when he decided he would be the reason Bella Swan realized she didn’t need a cold-hearted vampire stuck in his teenage years to be happy.



Jacob Black will always remember that very moment when he realized he loved Bella Swan.

TRUE STORY
























The following story is true...This is one story of many that have happened (and continue to happen) in a friends house In Natchez Mississippi.

I have a really good friend who is a physician in Natchez, MS. He lives alone in an absolutely gorgeous old plantation house. During the Civil War, Union Soldiers rammed their way through a wall into the house. They dragged the owner outside, beat him and then hanged him from a tree. The slaves cut him down and tried to save him. He clung to life for three days then he died.

My friend opened his home up as a Bed & Breakfast for a while. Many people were upset to see a man in their room.....they all describe a gentleman wearing clothing not of our time. They also see a woman in a light colored dress and hear children playing somewhere outside. Many folks who have worked for him or visited him have left abruptly after either a sighting or some unexplained noises. One of his housekeepers will not venture upstairs .He himself is not afraid at all of whatever is in the house. He has on many occasions been kept awake by doors slamming , bangs on walls and ceilings. Unseen people run up and down the wooden stairs going up to his office from his sitting room. Many times, losing patience, he's gotten up and slammed a door himself, screaming out to the unseen but noisy roommates, "I've got to get some sleep so shut the f**ck up, I have to pay the mortgage on this place!" Nine times out of 10 that'll do it...having gotten the attention they wanted, they let him have his sleep.

I myself have only spent one night in the house. It was during a convention in Natchez for medical folks. I went with my wife and we stayed with my friend. The next morning while my friend went off to work and my wife was at the convention,I stayed in bed loving the lazy morning and the crisp sheets. Footsteps trotting up and down the steps woke me. The more I tried to roll over and ignore them, the more uncomfortable I became. Finally, fearing they didn't know I was in there, I felt I needed to get up and let the housekeepers do whatever they needed to do. I got up and went to the bathroom. I laughed to myself, because the light bulbs were doing the "spooky" house crackling, diming, and brightening thing. I figured it was the wiring of this old house, but it still gave me the willies. After I dressed, I went downstairs and found out I was alone. No housekeepers.....no visitors of any kind. I thought they had certainly disappeared early.

Later that night, I happened to mention to my friend about the housekeepers waking me up with the running up and down the wooden stairs. It seems that they were off that day..no one had been in the house since he had left for work that morning....but me.....!

Introduction

Rap Music first caught K-Phlow’s attention in the early 90’s with the sounds of artistes such as Cypress Hill and NWA. He started DJing at the age of 17 in 2000, when he enrolled into Playaz Universe, Malaysia's first ever DJ school. After completing the course, he stayed on and enrolled for the advanced/professional courses offered there.

Currently, he is spinning in various clubs in Penang. Under the watchful and skillful eye of accomplished Techno DJ/Producer and founder of the school, Suresh Nelson, DJ K-Phlow found his voyage into musicology fueled by the creative senses that inspired him as he moved through a collective of Rap and RnB genres, from Urban to Commercialized sound of the music today.

A year past as his thriving interest with Rap Music developed before K-Phlow was ready to unleash the fruits of his labour unto the Malaysian clubbing republic. In 2001, K-Phlow made his first showcase at Kuala Lumpur’s Bukit Bintang infamous and thriving after hours sports bar, HobnoB 21. His maturing from being a young apprentice to establishing himself as a genuine talent to be reckoned with. became swiftly apparent when he was offered a weekly residency a mere two months after his initial pro-bono jamming for the bar.

From here on it was a dizzying ride, where K-Phlow put on many hats, juggling his task as a DJ while promoting club nights to greater success through various marketing initiatives, from a steady roster of rotating talent to relationship management with his fans, sometimes silently from the behind the decks, through the voice of his music.

K-Phlow career took another swift leap with the hottest penang club called Chill Out at the trendy Gurney Drive Penang, the successor to the Gurney Hotel. Now escalated to the ranks of spinning in a mainstream club, K-Phlow attacked the decks from the get go with the same relentless passion and enthusiasm he did as he began his voyage into music.

As Chill Out courted K-Phlow to become a regular staple of its’ club night menu, K-Phlow found himself thrown with another unique opportunity to expand his musical horizons. Roxbury Club favoured a strong musical procedure, which clearly matched the club and pushed K-Phlow to transition his sounds from Rap into a broader base of OL-Skool and Retro grinds.

The rest, as they say, is history. Fast forward to the now, his continuing stint at Roxbury has seen K-Phlow hosting the lead set for the club’s important Friday and Saturday nights, in addition, he played in GLO Dance Club, the biggest club in Penang and have shared decks with both local and international acts. K-Phlow hosted numerous shows and gain his emcee capability instead of just dj’ing.

Today, K-Phlow is no longer the young amateur waiting for initiation into the big leagues, instead he has matured into the role as one of Penang leading figures as the voice of the next generation in the hip hop music scene.
