Seasick Steve flavoured slide blues grooves
We take our lead from the man who brought blues slide to the mainstream
ACOUSTIC EXPO 2013: With his live performances on Later... With Jules Holland and at Glastonbury Festival, Seasick Steve has brought blues style slide guitar into the mainstream.
Solo slide guitar has its roots in early Delta style blues and open tunings were usually chosen in order to make slide playing easier. The idea is that if you place your slide over a fret and strum all the strings you get a major chord. Perfect when you have a slide keeping your fingers dead straight.
Our video lesson will help you get to grips with the basics of slide playing and adding fingerstyle notes into the mix.

This series of 9-VDC solenoids with 1" inline valve is designed to operate with the LEIT-2 two-station solar powered controllers from DIG.
Designed for commercial, residential and agricultural use, the 3/4" through 2" LEIT 2 (DIG series 305DC.075 to 305DC.200) plastic in-line globe valves with 9-VDC solenoids are designed to operate with our solar powered, model LEIT-2 controllers. The 9-VDC solenoid has two color-coded wires that are used to connect to the corresponding wires on the LEIT-2 controller station using waterproof connectors. Made of reinforced nylon and non-corrosive materials, this series of DC valves is designed for reliability in a variety of demanding applications.
Installing the LEIT-2 system required the following components:
Installed in any location with no AC power or battery needed
1. LEIT-2: 2 station ambient (solar) powered wireless controller with two yellow wires for rain sensor connection and four wires, with each two wires, red and white used for connection to each valve. Suggestion: We recommend that the user should reset the controller using the 2 yellow wires and a 9 volt battery before installation due to the fact that this type of controller has no backup batteries.
2. LEIT RC2: Remote control handset is used to communicate with up to 99 LEIT-2 controllers Suggestion: when connecting to the LEIT-2 controller for the first time and assigning a controller ID , assign any number from 2 to 99
3. Up to 2 DIG series ¾", 305DC.075, 1" 305DC.100, 1-1/2" 305DC.150 and 2" 305DC.200 plastic in-line globe valves with latching solenoids are designed to operate with our LEIT-2 solar powered controller (see our valves section under DC valves). Suggestion: Connect the solenoids red and white wires to the controller station # red and white wires using water proof splice connectors
4. Mounting the LEIT-2 controller required one of the mounting configuration provided:

Brooks House project seeks more tenantsBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 02,2013Len Emery Photos
The Brooks Hotel on Main Street in Brattleboro, which was gutted by a large fire April 17, 2011, is now accepting lease applications for available housing units.BRATTLEBORO — The developers of the 1871 Brooks House in downtown Brattleboro are hoping a leasing party later this month will help them find tenants for their vacant retail space.
Mascoma Bank, which is now the lead or senior lender in the $23 million project, has set a 70 percent lease standard before it starts releasing loan funds, said Allison Wendt, marketing director for Stevens & Associates, one of the partners in the project.
Mesabi LLC, a partnership of local businessmen, is hoping to revitalize the key downtown business block.
Wendt said the project is already 60 percent leased, with anchor tenants Community College of Vermont and Vermont Technical College, which have agreed to move their Brattleboro presence downtown.
Wendt said that since news of the leasing party March 14 in the River Garden in downtown Brattleboro became public, there has been more interest in the available retail spaces that are key to the project.
Wendt said only one tenant in the Brooks House before the April 17, 2011, fire was returning, Brillance.
"Nothing is more depressing that empty storefronts on Main Street. We've been through that," she said.
One key, new tenant is a new restaurant with old Brattleboro roots. Stephanie Bonin, the daughter of the former owners of the Book Cellar, the iconic Brattleboro bookstore that was put out of business by the fire, is moving back to her hometown with her husband and children with their popular Denver restaurant, Duo.
Bonin has rented one of the most visible spaces in the Brooks House, first-floor space that at the time of the fire was occupied by Dragonfly Dry Goods.
Wendt said Duo would be using more space, about 2,250 square feet of space, than Dragonfly, a small, specialty goods store, but its main entrance would be the same.
Wendt said the main entrance to the Brooks House is going to be relocated to the former location of the Adagio Restaurant on Main Street.
Wendt said Mascoma Bank, headquartered in Lebanon, N.H., but with a large presence in both Vermont and New Hampshire, was more comfortable with the new market tax credit program, a major federal tax incentive that is helping to finance the project.
Commonwealth Yogurt, a relatively new yogurt firm in Brattleboro, also used new market tax credits to finance the construction of its facility.
According to the Windham Regional Commission's website, new market tax credits are a program established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 2000 to help low-income and impoverished areas in the United States create jobs and wealth. Several towns and areas of Windham County have received the designation, which is keyed to data collected by the U.S. Census.
Also assisting in the financing is Brattleboro Savings & Loan, she said.
The project was originally expected to start construction in December, but addditional financing was necessary and construction is now expected to start in May.
The leasing party and community open house will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. March 14, Wendt said.
"Part of it is really a community update," she said.

The Apprentice apps - what the expert really thought
While we at Pocket-lint are busy basking in the limelight of our appearance on The Apprentice, in fairness, the real star of episode 2 season 7 was a London- (and now New York) based app development and delivery company known as Grapple. Stuart, Chris and Rik had plenty of fun scrutinising the apps that the two competing teams had produced but it was Grapple CEO Alistair Crane and his troops that had the task of building the things and getting them onto the open market in just 24 hours. We caught up with him to find out just how difficult it was up against the clock, under the cameras and in a room full of egos.
"When we first got the call from the researcher at the BBC - and they have thousands of them who'll often get us on the phone for predictions about app growth in the future - we weren't really sure why they wanted to use us for the show that they couldn't name but with 'a guy with a Rolls Royce and some contestants that get fired' as they put it."
A small company at the time when the series was filmed in 2010, Grapple had only been going a matter of months with a team of 15 or 16 of them on the premises - worlds away from the 60 plus-strong team the company now boasts on both sides of the Atlantic.
"It turns out they'd been doing their research," Crane tells us over the phone. "We'd positioned ourselves as company that could build apps really quickly. What they wondered was if we could do it in 24 hours."
As it turns out, Grapple managed it in 20 with the help of a development and testing team willing to bring their sleeping bags into the office and a constant supply of food from Domino's Pizza, but building the apps was only one part of the problem. The other was getting the various mobile platforms to accept the software onto their app stores within the same time frame; fortunately something that all of them were happy to specially speed up - all but one that is.
"Ovi were great and BlackBerry were happy to help on conference calls from Canada at 3am guiding us through the labyrinth of procedure needed to get the app up onto App World as quickly as possible. Google were very helpful too but a day turn around is not a problem on Android anyway.
"It was only Apple who basically e-mailed back a one-liner very politely telling us to fuck off. They have rules and regulations and the message was that, even if you're Alan Sugar, you can't have your app up on the App Store overnight."
Nonetheless, the experiment was a successful one with tens of thousands of The Apprentice-designed and Grapple-built apps getting downloaded (not without the help of Pocket-lint's App of the Day slot), and it turned out to be the girls team that won the day but what did Crane think of what the teams produced made?
"To begin with I was just glad that neither team chose something that would be hard to build as a cross platform app overnight like a game and, as it turned out, both were fairly similar."
Each team designed a soundboard-type app with the same kind of marketing strategy in what Crane describes as "snackable content" - apps designed to turn on, inform or entertain and then get switched off again. So, did the right app win the day?
"No, I don't think so. The girls were good marketeers with the right metadata but the boys had a stronger idea and were more together. In normal circumstances it was an idea that would have worked better. The business model wasn't correct and it needed refining but it had a good name and you could see it working. The girls' one was just a bit random."
The problem for the boys, as it turned out, was that while they designed a superior app, the metadata they attached to it didn't do the job. While a clever piece of poetry heavy on British idioms was ok for a UK audience of would-be downloaders, it meant nothing to the far larger market around the world who were given little idea of what the app was all about.
"The 3,000 to 1,200 downloads lead the guys had at the end of the first day seemed like a lot to them but we all know how quickly app figures can change. They'd tried to be too clever and it was the girls' more sensible 'Ronseal' approach what counted."
Despite the mistakes that the Grapple team could see coming from a mile, it was their brief not to interfere or offer any insight or guidance in any way to the candidates, not that they would have got a word in edge-ways anyway.
"I thought I'd got the glamorous job being assigned the girls' team," confessed Crane, "but, being an early stage show with a room full of candidates with their own opinions and no technical knowledge, it was quite a sight but I was still surprised when I saw on the show how many faces I'd been pulling."
While there was the odd sticky moment when one of the girls sat there and explained to Grapple how Foursquare worked asking if they could replicate if for them overnight, the candidates on the whole made a good impression on Crane and his team.
"I was quite impressed with the effort and work level," he admitted. "There were actually some good ideas that got rejected that didn't make the final edit including a discussion that the guys had about working with image capture and content sharing. That would have been really good."
And what of the individuals themselves? Were there any that stood out as strong contenders to win the series?
"There's lots of competition, as ever, but I thought Melody was very strong. I didn't have as much contact with the boys' team but Glenn Ward seemed to be the pick of them. As for this episode, the right person got fired. I've no idea who'll go next but if it were up to me it would be Susan Ma."
Sadly, neither of the two Apprentice apps will be available to download again. So, unless you were lucky enough to grab them the first time, there'll be no infamous novelty soundboards for you. Grapple's 20-hour service, it seems, will also be a thing of the past with Crane admitting:
"My first worry is that our bigger clients will call up and ask why it took us three weeks to do theirs. Ultimately, it's good to know that we can do things quickly but we spend longer with our clients because it's about designing and developing apps to make millions of pounds worth of sales rather than just a quick clever marketing idea."
"All the same, this high pressure version made for a really good episode of the Apprentice. It was genuinely challenging for the candidates and very current, even if it was quite funny seeing Alan Sugar, who I rate very highly, also managing to sound a bit like my grandad when he talked about people downloading apps from the Internet."
If you didn't catch episode 2 of the Apprentice, then head over to BBC iPlayer to see how it all panned out and if you're thinking of developing an app for yourself then, take a look at our beginners' guide.

iPhone 5 cases: Our pick of the best
What? Already? Yup its only been a short while since our eyes gazed upon the beauty of the iPhone 5 and even now the Pocket-lint inbox is full to burst with new iPhone 5 cases.
Naturally there is a lot of rubbish, as is the case (heh) with every iPhone. There is however plenty of good stuff out there. Take a peek at the sort of delights you could be wrapping your shiny brand new iPhone 5 in.
Cygnett Carbon Urban shield
Not cool? Or simply don't like the idea of even remotely risking smashing your iPhone 5? This is the case for you. Cygnett's Carbon Urban shield is put together from carbon fibre and has a strong plastic wraparound. Should keep your phone pretty safe from drops and the like. Looks good too.
Belkin Shield Matte
Keen not to do away with the matte effect on the back of the iPhone 5? Belkin has the answer with its Shield range of cases. Simple and strong, these soft-touch cases keep it simple in design so you can appreciate the looks of your iPhone, while protecting it properly.
Proporta Leather Pouch
Using high-quality leather rather than the fake stuff you find on some of the more budget cases, Proporta's leather pouch keeps the phone safe in your pocket, but lets you use it without case when needed. There is also a tough aluminium interior shell that will keep the phone safe should it drop from your pocket while in its case.
If you are a fan of GoPro or action cams, then this is the one for you. The Hitcase wraps your phone in a tough shell and adds a mount to it, so you can put your iPhone on your bike helmet, handlebars or seatpost.
Price: TBC
Griffin Reveal
Designed to keep the majority of your iPhone on show, while still protecting it as best as possible, the Griffin Reveal is basically the old iPhone's Bumper case, just with an extra plastic back.
Gresso Revolution
If you have a fair amount of money to spend - and by fair we mean unlimited - then this could be the case for you. Priced in at $3000, the Gresso case is made entirely out of solid titanium, which makes it scratch proof and incredibly strong. The case also looks great and should do a brilliant job of keeping your iPhone untouched.
Price: $3000
Cygnett Haven
Add a bit of colour and style to your iPhone with the Cygnett Haven. Designed as part of its icon range, this should keep your phone safe from the odd drop or scratch, while making sure it looks damn good at the same time. While the style might be a bit too hipster for some, we think it's nice to see some colour on an iPhone case.

Let's face it, no matter what make or model, early style dashboards contain a certain "cool factor." Back in the '30s, '40s
and '50s there was just as much steel contained in the dashboard as there is in an entire late-model vehicle (at least it seems that way). Not too long ago I was sitting in an all-original '39 Chevy with suicide doors. As I sat there I began to think, "If this car could talk, I'm sure it could tell a story or two." Who knows, maybe it was once driven by the "wiseguys"--you know, brimmed hats, pinstriped suits, and Tommy guns (OK, I'm getting a little carried away now, but you get the idea). Anytime I stare into an old dash it brings me back in time.
Fast-forward 10 or 20 years to when plastics were introduced into the equation. While they looked good when new, plastics were prone to fading and cracking over time. Thanks to the strength and popularity of vehicle restoration, the aftermarket has provided us with replacement parts to repair our faded, worn and cracked dashboard and instrument cluster components.
For this particular installation we hunted down the final pieces of the puzzle in order to complete the cockpit of this '72 Malibu to Chevelle SS conversion. While much of the conversion was performed to re-create the period-correct "SS" style, portions were done in retro rod style.
After much debate it was decided that we would use Dakota Digital's '70-72 Chevelle SS digital gauge cluster. For over 20 years Dakota Digital (located on the outskirts of Sioux Falls, South Dakota) has manufactured high-quality digital instrumentation and specialty electronics for cars, trucks, motorcycles and other custom applications. Dakota Digital vows that you will receive the best products, service and support, even beyond the sale.
The Dakota Digital Super Sport gauges are a bolt-in package, which provides parameters such as speed, tachometer, voltage, oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level, all in the existing SS locations.
Additional attributes include high-speed recall, high-rpm recall, quarter-mile timer, quarter-mile speed, turn signals, high-beam indicator, check engine light, parking brake indicator, and cruise control (when properly equipped with these options).
In order to begin the conversion we needed to order the Dakota Digital instrumentation, floor console/shifter kit, and SS style dash components. We proceeded by calling upon Original Parts Group in Huntington Beach, CA. Ordering the necessary components were a snap with the aid of the knowledgeable staff at OPG. By explaining our goals for this conversion, the staff at OPG was able to put together a complete list of necessary components along with expedited shipping services. OPG has been voted ARMO's (Automotive Restoration Market Organization) "Dealer of the Year" at the prestigious SEMA show. This award is given in recognition of outstanding service and dedication to excellence in the restoration parts business.
Once all the parts were received we quickly laid them out on the floor in a mock-type fashion in order to be sure nothing was missing. Once all was accounted for, the battery was disconnected for safety reasons (as it should be before beginning any project), and our quest towards "SS" stardom had begun.

The Kozmetsky Center Receives a Grant to Support the Distinguished Fellows Program
I am delighted to announce that the RGK Foundation has honored the Kozmetsky Center of Excellence in Global Finance with a $75,000 grant to support a new program: the Distinguished Fellows Program starting Fall 2011.
The Distinguished Fellows Program will connect St. Edward's with experts on current global issues using an interdisciplinary perspective. The distinguished fellows will:
- Work with faculty and students for one year, including a two-week residency.
- Bring a global perspective to bear on projects as diverse as scholarly research, course enhancement, service projects in the community, and study and service abroad.
- Provide an extremely valuable resource to the Kozmetsky Center for consultancy on future programming, and new collaborations with other institutions.
With this new program, the Kozmetsky Center will be able to undertake a new slate of in-depth activities reinforcing the university's approach to a personalized education. This new program will dramatically increase the depth and breadth of the Kozmetsky Center's impact since residencies will be planned and structured well in advance to match the needs of our students and university. It will also facilitate the inclusion of a global perspective across the curriculum, essential to fulfill the goal of the Kozmetsky Center to prepare students for living and working in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world.
The relationship with the Distinguished Fellows will be developed in three stages:
- Before the residency, Distinguished Fellows will coordinate with faculty members in customizing co-teaching and class visits to syllabi and new academic initiatives.
- During their time on campus, Distinguished Fellows will participate in luncheons, lectures, small group discussions and one-on-one in depth mentoring to students.
- They will mentor students before and after residency through phone conversations, Skype and e-mail.
They will support the enhancement of curricular and co-curricular programming and facilitate collaborative research. While in-residence, they will co-teach and work with faculty on curriculum development and course enhancement. They will also continue to be available to faculty and students to develop collaborative projects and provide advice and support.
I am confident that the Distinguished Fellows program will be a real catalyst to advance knowledge and help our students acquire the skills, tools and leadership necessary for today's world. This will be the most significant outcome of the collaboration, exchange and interaction between the Distinguished Fellows, the university and the broader community.
–Dr. Elisa Diaz Martinez, director of The Kozmetsky Center of Excellence in Global Finance

Is it me or is that temperature sensor just so happen to be plugged into a motor port? Quite odd... :P I don't think LEGO would ever recommend that.

I don't wknow why, but when I follow the link to the video of the motion sensor, it leads me to what appears to be a blank page. There is also a yellow triangle with an exclamation point in it. (I don't think it means there's nothing there...) Anyone else have this problem? (How about a solution?)
- Jan 21, 2009, 10:06:00 PM
That link worked fine for me. I'm using Firefox on an iMac. It's a video of using datalogging to determine speed of the robot.

I just tested the motion experiment video on two platforms (Vista and Mac OS) and on four different browsers: Firefox, Explorer, Opera and Safari. Everything checked out fine.
It could be that your browser needs updating with the latest flash update. Otherwise, I'm at a loss as to why you're not seeing it.
- Jan 22, 2009, 1:46:00 AM
I tried it again. It still doesn't seem to work. Also, I have never heard of an ".swf" file before... and I suspect it would help if you knew I was using internet explorer on a vista computer, but you tried that... What driver do you think I need? (I hope that I can get it for free. I am trying to save for new sensors, parts, multiplexers, etc. I don't know which to purchase first.)

The ability to play .swf files is within your browser. If your Explorer browser is up to date, it should play the file automatically.
I'd suggest going to the "overview" link within this post and clicking on the "motion lesson" preview. If that doesn't work, then the other option is to use another browser (like Firefox).
Hope this helps.

Just thought of something else. The "swf" file the link points to is, in effect, a pop-up window. If your browser is set to block pop-up windows, then you may not be able to access it.
- Jan 23, 2009, 2:39:00 AM
I tried your suggestions, but it didn't work. (I would have tried Firefox, but it is installed on my old (ancient) laptop, which has been disconnected from the internet for numerous reasons. Other web browsers are unavailable to me at the moment. I have been contacting you from my dad's laptop, and I don't think he wants me installing things on it without his permission.)
I also tried double-clicking the error icon, and got more info on the problem:

Why did the talking pinata cross the road with a boy carrying a baseball bat?
I have been collecting funny, vintage children's books for many years. And by funny, I don't mean ha-ha funny. I mean - Oh, my god, what were they thinking?! funny. Today I picked up these gems at a used book sale.
Do you think that talking pinata should be a little bit worried that Todd is carrying a baseball bat while he thoughtfully explains the true meaning of sacrifice? What are the chances that road leads to a birthday party?

A bride and her electric guitar-playing groom sail along in a house moving like a train; a distraught man complains of his financial woes while his wife tries to make love to him; a drunken woman shouts "No one understands me" to a bar full of silent patrons; a man waiting in line to buy a train ticket changes queues repeatedly, to no advantage. Running the gamut from quotidian struggles to big philosophical questions of love, sympathy and purpose in an uncaring world.

Who should Apple hire as a 'thought leader'?
Who would be the perfect 'thought leader' for Apple?
Here's a short list of contenders who could get the company thinking different again. Photo: Fovea Centralis/Flickr CC
Pharrell Williams
The pop star has been Apple-happy ever since he swapped his BlackBerry for a solid gold iPhone. His smash Academy Award-nominated Happy also showed he has global reach - check out the YouTube versions from Iran to Britain. Photo courtesy Back Lot Music, under license to Columbia Records.
Apple should consider stealing AOL's digital prophet. If nothing else, it would be a sartorial/coiffurial break from the casual monotony Cupertino execs unfailingly sport during keynotes. Photo: David Shing/Instagram
Neymar Jr.
We had a brainwave after seeing the soccer star featured in the latest Beats by Dre ad. The Brazilian forward who plays in Barcelona has already acted as ambassador for his home country's pop music; why not for Apple? Photo courtesy Beats Electronics
John Green
"It's not the consumers' job to know what they want," Steve Jobs once famously said. An entire generation of teens didn't know they gave an OMG about American history until John Green came along with his fast-moving, pithy Crash Course videos. Green could further stack the deck on Apple's education efforts, ensuring the company stays relevant for generations to come. Photo courtesy Crash Course
Amy Schumer
Her standup routines frequently put technology under the microscope. Whether it's an emergency stylist for selfies or sexting Amy Schumer's got a real feel for how Apple changes our lives. Also, she's all about sex. Apple should grow up and stop pretending to be Disney. Photo courtesy Comedy Central
Steven Pinker
Because he is a futurist without having to call himself one, the author of The Better Angels of Our Nature and The Stuff of Thought would be an excellent counterweight to Google's guru Ray Kurzweil. Photo: Rebecca Goldstein/Wikipedia CC
John Oliver
Another smart Brit could be just the ticket for Apple. Think of what Apple could do with John Oliver's wit, which fuels things like his hilarious campaign for net neutrality. Photo courtesy HBO
Elon Musk
In the driver's seat of Tesla, the tech veteran of PayPal and SpaceX has shown he can think different. Plus, Elon Musk's recent move to allow Tesla patents to be used by anyone in good faith is a world away from the senseless bickering over rectangles in the Apple-Samsung patent war. Photo: Zobacz Zasady/Wikipedia CC
Bill Murray
For staff morale, we nominate the wisecracking star of Groundhog Day and Ghostbusters. Plus, Bill Murray's seeming ability to pop up everywhere — from a couple's engagement photo to The New Yorker — could only be good publicity for Apple. Photo courtesy Columbia Pictures
Hillary Clinton
As former secretary of state and one-time first lady, Hill fits the bill for Apple thought leader in many ways, since the job requires "experience indirectly managing and influencing a global, diverse team" and "a proven track record of working well with all levels of leadership." Plus, working for Apple has gotta be more fun than running for president. Photo: U.S. Department of State
Apple is looking to hire a thought leader. While the actual job listing — blah blah blah "execution of critical sale reporting projects" blah blah blah — sounds about as exciting as a new ink cartridge, the idea of a thought leader role at a company like Apple is worth pondering.
Ever since the death of co-founder Steve Jobs, there's been much speculation and hand-wringing over who could assume his role as Apple's foremost visionary. Although no one can ever fill his New Balances, we've rounded up a short list of leaders who might kick the Cupertino company in a new direction.
Who do you think should drive Apple's big ideas? Check out our picks in the gallery above, then nominate yours in the comments below.

The cute metal studs begin to pop off almost immediately. The shoe is basically plastic, so they crack. DON'T BUY THESE
Riverview, MI
DON'T BUY THESE, as cute as they are, the material is such poor quality that they actually crack at the flexing point, where you flex your foot while walking. I only wore them 3 times. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY! This review site forces you to select stars, but I don't give this product ANY!

I have successfully installed Windows 8.1 via the Windows store on my laptop. I had Windows 8 installed and it didn't appease me fully especially on my laptop. Windows 8.1 will ease any qualms people had with Windows8. Windows 8.1 feels like Windows 8 done right for both desktop users and tablet users.
Windows 8.1 first is downloaded via the Windows Store then it installs like a ordinary Windows installation. Windows 8.1 installed on my laptop successfully and all my programs work.
If you are using Windows 8, you can download Windows 8.1 for free at www.microsoft.com. The full Windows 8.1 upgrade can also be purchased.
Modern Interface
The modern interface is much more matured with some very nice new features. You can customize tile size, categorize tiles etc. Instead of having to right click to view all apps, there is a down button. When you right click using a mouse now, a customize option appears. There are many nice apps like calculator, alarm, food and drink, alarms and much more. You can set your desktop background as the start screen which is a plus. The tiles are also more colorful than in Windows 8, and have various colors than one uniformed color. There are a lot more customization features for the start screen. A lot of PC settings are moved into the modern PC settings such as resolutions settings. Resolution settings are also on the desktop as well.
Desktop Side
Windows 8.1 will make those who are unhappy with Windows 8, very happy. Microsoft has added the beloved start button which is very nice to have on both tablets and desktops. The libraries in file explorer has been change to now being called "folders. The my videos, my pictures, etc are now in My Computer, now called This PC. SkyDrive is now integrated in File Explorer and your documents are now saved to it and more. In taskbar settings and in the navigation settings, you can now choose to boot to desktop, use the desktop background in the start screen, show all apps when pressing the start button, and list desktop apps in the apps view "when its sorted by category". Also, in the navigation settings in taskbar properties, you can disable the charms bar and hot corners which is a plus for those who dislike it. Everything else appears to be the same, except for things I described here.
I strongly recommend anyone who has Windows 8 to get Windows 8.1 (its free after all). Windows 7 users should also consider upgrading to Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 is a considerable improvement over Windows 8 and will make those unhappy or who are avoiding Windows 8, reconsider Windows 8 and upgrade to it.

Install Process
Downloaded the ISO and used the Windows 7 Tool to install from Flash Drive.
The Install was easy
The Install was fast
I miss the days where you could go to advance and tell Windows what not to install: P
Installed the OS, pretty straight foward.. Windows installs have come a long way..
Setting up
Oh, the most fun part right? Downloading your favorite apps and testing to see how well they work.. It was an experience much like you would expect from any OS install really... Just download your software, and install it... Found some apps in the Windows Store which makes it easier for updates and what not..
Asus Rampage II
Intel Chipset drivers work 100%
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium work 100%
2x Cruical M4 512GB Raid-0 work 100%
2x GeForce GTX 680 SLI work work 100%
Plextor DVDRW PX-891SAW work 100%
Logitech G15 Keyboard work work 100%
Logitech G700 Wireless Mouse work 100%
Logitech G930 Wireless Headset work 100%
I am not going to go into every software that I tested on 8.1, but it is worth noting, that I have had a lot of issues with software..
Chrome - Crashing - Slow
Filezilla - Crashing Slow
Firefox - Slow
Putty - Slow
I am not sure what the deal here is, but hopefully it is just me and if not, hopefully the devs will fix these issues.
Counter-Strike: GO works great
Battlefield 3 works great
Call of Duty Black OPs 2 works great
No issues with gaming or my SLI setup
The Windows Experience
I'm not going to lie, I really can't stand it and this is my third try to give Windows 8/8.1.. It isn't just the start menu, it's just about everything. I feel like I have no control over the system.. I know that isn't the case.. But it is just the way it feels.. I can't really explain it. I find the metro apps just plain annoying. When I open a picture or video, I don't want it to take up an entire monitor. I know you can fix this, but still.. I don't like the direction of this.
Task Manager - I really like the way the new task manager works
Boot Time - Not sure how, but it sure boots up A LOT faster than Windows 7
Store - I enjoy searching the store for apps I need
I just can't get into the new swing of the direction of Microsoft. I have been using Microsoft's products for over 23 years and have beta tested since Windows 95. I really enjoyed seeing Microsoft grow and mature over the years. I have read some post on Neowin about members not being able to catch on to the new Windows, and they get called out for being "dinosaurs" or unable to cope with change. It isn't that at all; think about how much Windows has changed from Windows 3.1 to Windows 7, no one really complained then. Again, I want to stress, it isn't just the start screen I don't like; it is the default metro apps, the entire feel of the OS. Am I jumping ship and never using Windows again? Of course not, I still like Windows 7 as it is a great platform.
This is a tough transition to the future of computing, I understand their direction. It is going to take time to get everything fine-tuned. Until then, I will give Microsoft some time and hopefully they will continue with good improvements.
As a thank you for reading this entire post, I will leave you a present. It is a picture of two official Windows 98 Beta CDs.

About Alfalfa and Peppermint...
Alfalfa has long been utilized by both humans and animals for its beneficial nutritive and medicinal properties. This perennial herb is native to Asia, but can now be grown in many parts of the world.

Blended, these herbs complement each other well, creating a unique and appealing flavour.
The above herbs are organically grown and prepared, ensuring their natural taste and active properties are enjoyed in every cup of tea. Our organic audit trail enables traceability from each box of tea to the field your herbs were grown in.
It all starts with the herbs. Celebration Herbals is dedicated to bringing you the best tasting teas, grown and processed as close to "the way nature intended" as possible and never irradiated.

Herbally Yours, Celebration Herbals
Suggested Use
- Good water is an essential part of brewing a great cup of tea. We recommend using spring or filtered water.
- Be sure to relax! Some of the most enjoyable aspects of tea are the calmness and ritual that surround it.
- This is a delicate herb and is more potent when exposed to high temperatures for a short period of time. So that your tea has its maximum medicinal properties and flavour, be sure that your water is at a rolling boil when you pour it over your teabags.
- If you desire a medicinal tea, be sure to use one tea bag per cup of boiling water, cover and steep for 7-12 minutes. This is known as the infusion method.
- If you desire a pleasure tea or quick brew, use one teabag per cup of hot water. Pour water over teabags, cover, and let steep 3 to 5 minutes to taste. Enjoy!
Organic alfalfa leaf (medicago sativa)
Organic peppermint leaf (mentha x piperita)

Can Kasich win all 88 Ohio counties?November 4, 2014
Featured Expert: David Stebenne
Professor David Stebenne was quoted in an Ohio Watchdog article about the possibility of Governor John Kasich winning all 88 Ohio counties in his re-election bid.
"It's really hard to do," he said. "As popular as the governor is and as weak as his opponent is, I doubt he'll carry all 88 (counties)."
Stebenne said Ohio has some unusual counties, which tend to be really Democratic or really Republican.
He said a good example was the election of 1956, when President Dwight Eisenhower carried 87 of 88 Ohio counties.
"He lost one of the Appalachian counties — a poor county where the residents tend to vote Democratic no matter what," Stebenne said. "There was even some humorous discussion in the Oval Office about that one county."
Glenn and Voinovich were "the two most popular candidates in modern history," he added, "and they each only did it once. While Kasich is popular, he really doesn't have the broad appeal that these two did."
Stebenne said that both Voinovich and Kasich come from communities that tend to be more Democratic in voter registration, but that Kasich's first race for governor was more divisive than the races for Voinovich.
"Voinovich had electoral success in Cleveland and as governor because he was able to persuade Democrats to vote Republican," he said. "Glenn had national appeal across party lines."

Professor Dan Tokaji was quoted in a Huffington Post article on the impact of SuperPACs in the Michigan Senate race as well as other key races nationally.
Large contributions to super PACs from family, friends and business interests to support candidates in their home states are not entirely new. In the past two electoral cycles, donors focused on one candidate routinely created their own groups to spend solely on that one election. Dan Tojaki, an election law professor at The Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, has dubbed those custom-made groups "buddy PACs."

"There's no perfect election, there just can't be. It's too big of a human system," says Edward B. Foley, the Director of Election Law at Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law. "To the extent that anything gets a little messy, that's where the lawyers come in."
Scalia, Thomas and Ginsburg Align in Sentencing DisputeOctober 14, 2014
Featured Expert: Douglas A. Berman
Professor Doug Berman was quoted in a National Law Journal article over the Supreme Court's decision not to grant cert in Jones v. United States. which asked the court to rule that in deciding on a sentence, federal judges should not be able to take into consideration conduct for which the defendant was acquitted.

Sex saga at firehouse a turnoff to women recruits?October 12, 2014
Featured Expert: Martha Chamallas
Professor Martha Chamallas was quoted in a Columbus Dispatch article on a recent scandal at a city fire station and the possibility it could alienate women in the fire and police divisions.
"A highly sexualized culture sends a coercive message that, unless you play along and become part of this scene, you will not be accepted into this group and receive proper recognition," she said. "It's not that women don't like sex or have affairs, but this type of environment often produces sexual harassment."
Ohio is no battleground for House racesOctober 11, 2014
Featured Expert: Daniel P. Tokaji
Professor Dan Tokaji was quoted in a USA Today article on the lack of tight congressional races in Ohio during the November 2014 election.
Ohio's current congressional lines represent "a perfect partisan gerrymander," said Daniel Tokaji, a law professor at Ohio State University who is an expert on redistricting. "It's quite possible that these districts will remain controlled by the party that controls them now for the remainder of the decade, through 2022."
"The implication for voters is that the general election is a mere formality," Tokaji said. "We know the results as soon as the primary is over. ... So there's very little interest, and there's very little incentive for people to actually vote."

Thursday marked the season finale of The X Factor, and the question on everyone's minds at the start of the evening was ... how is this show possibly going to stretch the announcement of who won to a whopping two hours?! With no performances by the contestants that will have any impact whatsoever on the result, and no sing-off, is that even possible? (Spoiler: yes.)
Of course, the other mystery was which of the three finalists - Tate Stevens, Carly Rose Sonenclar or Fifth Harmony - would actually walk away with the grand prize, a $5 million recording contract. But before we get to that, let's address the first query. Here's a breakdown of how exactly the show managed to balloon itself to 120 minutes, when the actual victory reveal took approximately two:
