Fall Tree Colors - Sugar Maple - Acer Saccharum

Acer saccharum

Family - Aceracerceae - Maples

The Sugar Maple is one of the more colorful autumn trees. It is also one of the more common trees found in the eastern deciduous tree forests. Its leaves can turn one of two colors, golden yellow or a glowing orange-red. The five lobed simple leaves are broadest at the base, each of the lobes tapering to a point. The bark will be a smooth, grayish white on young trees, and slightly to deeply furrowed on older ones.

Acer saccharin is generally a tree of lower elevations, but will not usually be found in swampy ground. It will prefer well drained, rich woodland soil. It will usually be found growing in the same areas with American Beech, Black Cherry, Red and White Oak, and Shagbark Hickory. Sugar Maple will usually be the predominant tree in most of the forests it inhabits.

Sugar Maple is probably best known for its sweet sap which can be converted into syrup, sugar, candy and other confections. This is a skill the American Indians taught the colonists and has turned into a major forest industry, supplying syrup for pancakes worldwide.

Sugar Maple is also a valuable hardwood for furniture making, its hard lumber suitable for furniture, veneer, cabinets and musical instruments. It is also a valuable wildlife tree, its seeds eaten by many wild animals and birds.

Acer saccharin, the Sugar Maple, is one of the basic components of the rich palette of colors which paint the forests of the eastern United States each year. Its yellow or reddish leaves glow in the autumn sunlight.. Its lumber is a valuable forest resource and various products manufactured from its sweet sap enrich our lives. Its seeds provide a rich source of nutrition for much of the wildlife inhabiting the woodlands.

Affordable Consumer Electronics and Goods for the Small Business

As a small business owner, you probably know what a hassle it can be to shop for electronics and other business goods. You need products that are dependable, affordable, and easy to use. Computers, office equipment, mo bile phones, and many other business necessities are available both online and off-line, so you have many options to consider.

Tips for In-Store Buying

When shopping for electronics or computers at a local store, compare brand names, features and pricing carefully. Sometimes a low price means sacrificing the quality or features you really need. For instance, if you're planning to buy a computer desk, consider the design of the desk and all its features. Does it have drawers or shelves to make organization easy? Does it have a pullout keyboard or a desktop keyboard? Also, consider the size of the desk and the quality of its materials (steel, solid wood or particle board).

When buying a computer, consider brand name, size of the hard drive and memory, as well as any pre-installed software it may contain. Avoid buying computers that have "advertising" menu bars pre-installed on the Windows screen. These tend to hang up often and are not worth the hassle although they are usually lower in price. Look for reputable brand names such as Dell, Pentium, Acer, and Compaq. Dependable laptops are available from these companies: Dell, Averatec, Compaq, HP Pavillion, Acer, Gateway, and IBM.

Avoid rebate offers. Rebates are often more trouble than they're worth, and your name might get added to hundreds of mailing lists! Instead, shop around for a great value up front to get the PC or laptop that will meet your needs.

Refurbished Products

With refurbished electronics or computers, find a reputable company that has a good standing with the Better Business Bureau. Some companies will advertise refurbished items, but will not follow through with a guarantee. Before buying a refurbished item, check for a guarantee and do a little research on the company to find out if other customers were satisfied with the products and service. If buying refurbished computers online, use the search engines to find out as much information as you can about the company.

Buying Electronics and Computers Online

Shop around online for great bargains on brand name electronics and computers. If you're pressed for time, there are discount home electronics online superstores that carry almost everything you'll need for your small business. Some of the products you might find include cables, office equipment, TV and video accessories, scanners, GPS, power protection products, mobile phones, digital recorders, formatted diskettes, CDs, and more.

Online electronics stores for small business can offer you better prices because they have few overhead costs when operating on the Web. You can usually expect to save up to 20% on items.

You'll find shopping online to be a great time-saver because you can shop from your home or office without visiting busy stores.

Use these tips to find electronics, computers and other products for your small business at great prices without sacrificing quality.

Computer Sales

Computer sales are on the rise. Research has shown that in the United States in 2005, personal computer sales rose 35%, and revenue increased 11%. This is compared to Thanksgiving 2004, when PC’s sales increased only 7 % and revenue actually decreased by 3%. Notebook and desktop computers were the most impressive sellers during Thanksgiving week due to strong “Black Friday sales,” according to Current Analysis. Black Friday sales occur on the day following Thanksgiving. Several manufacturers of computers benefited during this time including HP, Gateway and Toshiba. Windows and Apple computers made a respectable showing as well. The most popular computer sold in this time period was the Notebook. It led the way in sales, overselling desktops computer by 4%. Still, desktop computer rose 23% year-over- year compared to 2004.

s far programs and service goes, there is more home and entertainment software available for Windows computers than for Macs. However, Macs repeatedly score at or near the top in tech support and reliability. In fact, statistics show that Apple is rated more than 20 points ahead of all the other computer manufacturers for technical support.

Whether to by a PC or a MAC is a big question asked by many. Just keep in mind that PCs use Widows OS and are built by numerous brands including Gateway, Dell, Acer, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, etc. Macintosh computers are in a class by themselves. The myth that MACs crash more than PC is unfounded because of those name brands that manufacturer PCs, several have been known to crash. Others did prove to be invincible – the key is there is more than one manufacturer.

As far as programs go, MACs do run fewer programs than PCs, but you can put Microsoft Windows on MAC computers and run them.

Tablet PC Comparison

Tablet PC's are portable computers that resemble a laptop but are equipped with advance features such as a pen that allows users to access content on it without the help of a mouse or a keyboard. However, all the traditional accessories such as a keyboard and a mouse can also be used with these PC's.

Some of the well-known tablet PC brands are Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu, Electrvaya, Gateway, Itronix, Panasonic, Table Kiosk, and Acer. Out of these, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, and Acer are recognized for their quality and advanced technology. However, other brands are also competitive in nature and there are good reviews from users who have purchased them.

The system memory can range from 250 mb to 750 mb depending on the make and model of the tablet. The price of a tablet can range from $2500 to $4000 also depending on the make and the brand. These PC's can also be leased for as less as $80 per month. Some brand names of popular tablet PC's are stylistic ST5031, HP Compaq TC 1100, M275, and Travelmate c113ti.

Tablet PC's can be classified according to their basic structure and the two main designs of tablet PC are the laptop-style "clamshell" design, with a display screen that can be hinged on the keyboard base unit, and the "slate" design, with a removable keyboard. Unlike a "smart display" that is a slim line monitor that is wirelessly connected to a desktop PC and using its settings, the slate form factor tablet PC is a inclusive PC in itself. The tablet PC is also a pen-based computer, with a digital pen that can recognize handwriting as "digital ink," which can then be reformatted and edited.

Many Tablet PCs are similar to ultra portable laptop computers in design, architecture and dimension. They are networkable devices, with the majority including wired and wireless network connectivity as standard features. Many conventional laptop features are also provided on Tablet PCs, but like ultra portables, they do not have internal floppy or optical drives.

Tablet PC provides detailed information on Tablet PC, Tablet PC Reviews, Tablet PC Software, Best Tablet PC and more. Tablet PC is affiliated with PDA Pocket PCs.

How To Repair The Acer D2D Recovery

This tutorial can also help to do it on other computer brands

Disclaimer : First of all you must be aware that some of the operations to come can cause irreversible change on your hard disk, I recommend to you and I will never make it enough make a backup of your system before launching you in any hazardous operation. Any damage and/or modification done on your system will be under your whole responsibility. The following procedures were done on a Acer Aspire 5102wlmi and some also functioned on a Dell Inspiron 9400/1705.

As you know, the Acer computers and those of other manufacturers are now delivered with a system of restoration installed in a hidden partition of your hard disk. This system launches out while pressing keys ALT+F10 simultaneously. And sometimes for various reasons this system ceases functioning.

The first cause often comes owing to the fact that function D2D Recovery is disable in the bios (menu principal).

The solution : enable the function and try to press keys ALT+F10 during the starting of the computer.

The second cause : in this case hidden partition PQSERVICE was erased or damaged, or you replaced the disc and in this case it is not present.

The solution : If you did not previously make a backup of your system by making an image disc. It will not be possible to use the D2D recovery. Your only hope will be to have in your possession Acer Recovery CD/DVD.

And the third causes : the Acer Master Boot Record (MBR)was damaged or replaced by non-Acer MBR. As long as partition PQSERVICE is present or that you can put the hand on the necessary Acer files you can reinstall the MBR of Acer.

The solution :

First method : on a functional Windows system:

1 disable the D2D recovery option of the bios.

2 open a Windows session with an account administrator.

3 Download, unzip and launch partedit32(registration required for download).

4 Identify the Pqservice partition by its size (at the bottom of the partedit window there is a partition information box) it is a small sized partition approximately 2 to 6 Go.Once made change the type of your partition into 0C and save. Restart and open a session with an administrator account, you should be able to navigate to the PQservice partition. Seek these two files mbrwrdos.exe and rtmbr.bin once localised open a command prompt and launch this command mbrwrdos.exe install rtmbr.bin, this will install the Acer MBR. Close the command prompt window restart again Windows go into the bios and reactivate the D2D recovery. Now ALT+F10 should launch Acer recovery at the starting of the computer.

Second method : On a nonfunctional Windows system.

For that you must use a Linux distribution (for me Mandriva provided all the tools necessary).

1 Boot on the Mandriva install CD/DVD the boot menu will give you the possibility to repair or to restore the Windows boot loader.

2 If that is not enough launch an installation of linux(this will be an occasion to test this terrible OS) and choose LILO as boot loader(a boot menu that allow you to choose between several operating systems) once finished the installation. Restart your computer in the boot loader menu system you will have at least 2 Windows options the first generally point to PQservice choose it and you will boot directly into acer D2D recovery.

The last solution is the simplest one, just note that during the Linux installation you will have to resize your Windows partition to create a place for a new Linux partition it is the most perilous part because irreversible, therefore take your precautions at this time.

Home Office Minus PC - Can it be Done? You'd be Surprised

A recent study by an IDC senior analyst studied the spending habits of 33.1 million U.S households with home offices. ((It was previously believed that 25 million Americans had home offices. Obviously it is a growing trend).

The study found out some interesting habits, some obvious, some not so obvious.

Not surprisingly, home-office owners tend to be more technologically savvy than non-home-office
homes. Home-office owners are more likely to upgrade their current computers or add additional computers to the home.

But are they buying desktop pc's? Not most. 56% are buying laptops, usually with cd read-write and dvd players. People tend to buy the "thin and light" models.

The second most-popular-category was fully-loaded notebooks that make up 33% of home office sales due to their multimedia capabilities and larger screens.

The least popular choice was the ultra-portable category, which often excludes an optical disk drive as a way to save space and keep the price down.

Home-office owners are more interested in speed and brand name than they are price, and processor speed was much more important than price in the study.

Almost 80% were Dell customers, but a whopping 20% continued to shop.

Our own in-house study at Internet2yourdoor found that Acer, Toshiba, and HP Compaq topped the list, with Acer gaining on everyone (in fact last year Acer outsold Toshiba) in the marketplace; not just at our store but worldwide. This is no surprise (to us) as probably 75% of our own staff has purchased Acer through our own store and are very happy with it. Though the above study confirmed that price is not a factor, our experience is that price is a factor as Acer tends to be less expensive, offering much more bang for the buck than better-known brands. But sales of HP Compaq and Toshiba (and several other brands) do very well in our online store.

Lenovo continues to sell very well as well; and price seems to be a factor (as does processor speed in our own experience with laptop sales.

Though the element of wireless capabilities vs. non-wireless capabilities was not mentioned in the above study, it appears most customers tend to look at wireless as the norm.

The IDC study showed that in the U.S., last May, laptops outsold desktops for the first time in the history of computer sales in this country.

This could easily be a reflection of the growth of popularity of the home office. Most home officer owners prefer the laptop over the desktop now.

So, the question remains, can a home-office "make it" without a desktop pc? Obviously so. It truly seems to be a matter of style. Many home offices have both. The answer, of course, is there is no right way or wrong way (computer-wise) to operate a home-office. It is simply which you prefer.
