Windows 8 won't load properly

I installed 8 successfully about a month ago and all went well. The only recent change I have made is to install Startmenu8 to get a more normal Windows look. Yesterday my computer screen went dark blue and the mouse seemed not to function. I changed batteries and rebooted. However all I get is my desktop with no task bar and no icons. The programmes show up along the bottom but will not open maximised so I can't use them. I have a Dell desktop and have run the diagnostics on F12 at start up. All is ok according to that. I want to restore to a previous point but cannot get at Windows to do this. Any suggestions gratefully received.

There's a good video tutorial on youtube click here
which will show how to boot into windows 8 startup menu using F8 key and get access to different options, including system restore.
I did a system restore from within windows and it took about 40 minutes compared to XP (5 minutes) so it may not seem anything is happening for ages

I found that windows 8 is very thorough in what it removes. As well as removing any installed programs for that time period (which is what I expected)it removed the .exe files from programs in the downloads folder and another location they were copied to. So I had to re-download them - luckily not too many.

Safe mode you have to hold down the Shift button and keep tapping F8 on start up for it to work.
It works on most computers but not on mine.

Safe mode by tapping keys isn't available I think. Does your keyboard work?
If so, in desktop press the windows key and the C key. That will bring up the Charms bar on the right. Use the tab key to move to the settings icon and press enter. In the blue bar that opens use the tab key to navigate to the 'Change PC settings' link. You'll get an App window up. In this Window use the tab and arrow keys to navigate to the GENERAL link on the left list. Press enter. Use the arrow keys to navigate down to 'RESTART NOW'. press ENTER. I shall follow my own advice and do it now to see if I can still use the TAB, Arrows and ENTER keys to navigate to the 'fresh install' or repair or even restore to remove that third party app you've installed. Will post later.

OK. I can navigate to these app windows but can't use the top left arrow in a circle to go back to the previous app page. Otherwise I can navigate to 'refresh', 'reset' or 'advanced'. I selected 'advanced' and here you have choices including system restore (my preferred option) or auto repair.
Possibly the reset option might be better.
This is academical if you can't use the keyboard of course.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Unfortunately I cannot bring up anything using F8 or any win key combinations. All I get is a task bar with two icons - Internet Explorer and File Explorer. The latter works to some degree but if I open, for example, Control Panel, all I then get are task bar icons with minimised progs/apps which WON'T maximise so I can use them. In desperation, I tried to reload W8 with the CD, but to no avail. It won't boot on start up and even though I can get the set up file through File Explorer, nothing happens. My mouse sort of works as does my keyboard. In File Explorer the desktop shows all my old icons but the Library tree won't show any of my docs/photos. I just can't get it to restore. I have backed up a system image on another drive but don't know how to get it to run. Any ideas?

Hopefully you're image doesn't include Startmenu8. If you've created an image the program you used to create it will have asked you to create a bootable recovery CD. I hope you remember where the image file is. If on an external usb drive connect it to the PC. Start the PC so you can insert the recovery CD to the optical drive. Press and hold the start button on the desktop case. That will safely shutdown the PC. If you can reboot to bios then change the boot order to CD first, save and exit. It might be already set to this but check your mobo's documents if you have any. On rebooting 'press any key to boot from CD' should show so press any key. If you use Acronis or Paragon then follow instructions to find the image. Once found select the image to restore.

Thanks Dave. I'm away till the end of the week so will have to try then. I did try to change the boot order after pressing F2 at start up but couldn't identify the CD drive, There was a list of SATA this, that and the other. BTW - mobo - what is that?

Posted December 3, 2012 at 9:16AM
Mobo is short for motherboard. That's me being lazy. It looks like it's F2 to enter the bios. Hopefully someone with a Dell PC can identify the drive for you from the list.

September 6, 2013
The AIDS Services Group in Charlottesville is getting a little extra boost in funds. It's all thanks to ViiV Healthcare, a global company geared to treating people with HIV.
The nearly $25,000 in funding will help ASG's C.H.A.R.L.I. program which stands for Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Resources and Linkages for Inmates.
The main focus was on AIDS treatment and education for prisoners, but now treatment will expand outside of the prison system.
"But it will also allow us to help people coming back into the community access the care they need," says ASG C.E.O. Peter DeMartino. "This specifically will pay for mental health and recovery services."
Mental stability is one of the biggest problems ASG has seen in HIV positive inmates who are leaving the prisons, and that's where the expansion of the C.H.A.R.L.I program will kick in.
"We do education, so pretty much we educate on STD awareness and HIV awareness," says Jerod Patterson.
Patterson is a C.H.A.R.L.I. Care Coordinator, but with the new funding his services will go beyond the jail cells to helping inmates re-enter the community.
"A lot of these guys leave institutions, they're on their own," says Patterson. "They don't have families and stuff to come back to and so we try to help them stay stable and maintain their freedom."
The Southern U.S. sees 45 percent of new AIDS cases. With new infection rates the highest among African American and Latino populations.
ASG is hoping that with the help of ViiV healthcare they can lower those odds and help people in and out of jail receive the treatment they need.

Windsor Mountain International Summer Camp hosts families on five-day rustic retreats on 365 acres of rural white-pine forest. Parents, accompanied by their children, can return to the days of bunking in cabins and dorms, roasting marshmallows, and kindling campfires with only a piece of flint and a smartphone. A daily activities schedule abounds with aquatic endeavors, such as canoeing, sailing, and swimming; adventurous challenges, such as zip lining and ropes courses; and creative activities, including music, theater, and arts and crafts. A winding network of hiking trails transports forest explorers along the shores of hidden lakes and through dense pine woodlands, where hikers can seek answers to the philosophical question of whether it's possible to hear a falling tree's cries for help.
MUSCLEWORKS GYM is a 24-hour/7days a week access gym. We offer tanning, group exercise classes and have qualified personal trainers available to help you to achieve your fitness goals.
The Give Me Five pass grants access to five of any of the following activities: Kimball Farm's 300-yard driving range, nine-hole pitch-and-putt course, and batting cages will help golfers and batters adjust squeaky swings, and the Animal Adventures exhibit allows guests to interact with reptiles while discussing current events with talking birds. Give Me Fivers can also perform kinetic-energy experiments using colorful balls on the Waterfall Run or Forbidden Mine miniature-golf courses before boarding a bumper boat to faithfully recreate Star Wars on melted ice. The pass may also be used to acquire a play card (a $6 value) from the Olde Sawmill Midway Arcade.
202 Entertainment's miniature-golf course offers pint-sized putters the chance to hone their stroke over 18 holes of family-friendly, obstacle-laden terrain. Grab three friends, siblings, or shillelagh-swinging necromancers for a brisk glide over the course's streams, ponds, and spray fountain, deftly preventing nefarious, hazard-bound sea serpents from tasting the sweet dimples of prismatic orbs as you practice your putt and strut.
First laid out in 1926 by influential course architect Donald Ross, whose 413-course resumé includes Pinehurst No. 2 at Pinehurst Resort, Winchendon School Golf Club's 18-hole course stretches over 5,512 yards of tree-dotted New England countryside. The par 70 layout remains true to its original design, with narrow fairways cut through thick curtains of trees that part intermittently to reveal scenic views of Mount Monadnock and squirrels changing clothes. Small, undulating greens await at the end of each hole, offering a slick blend of bent and poa grass that presents more challenging putts than golfers may expect upon their first visit. Golfers can prepare for their rounds with a bite at the onsite bar and grill or by loading up on golf balls at the pro shop, which sells an array of golf equipment and apparel emblazoned with the Winchendon School Golf Club logo or pictures of clients' favorite mini-golf obstacle.Course at a Glance:
Crab Apple Whitewater sends adventure seekers on river-bound thrill rides daily from early April through mid-October using inflatable kayaks for Class I–II rapids and larger group rafts for Class II–IV rapids. Crab Apple Whitewater charts routes through the Berkshire Mountains on rivers such as the Deerfield, making use of natural flows and daily dam releases in order to control the challenge for kayakers and rafters of all skill levels. Trips are consistent due to dam control, but vary based on interpretations of fortunes found in the guide's tea leaves the night before. All adventurers strap on provided helmets and life jackets and attend a safety lecture prior to casting off.

Shockingly Bad – This place is hysterical! I'm still laughing and shocked at my experience there about 10 minutes ago. Before going over there, I had read the bad reviews about "Chuck" (the owner) and the horrible service, but I was skeptical. Since they're down the street I figured I'd give them a shot. After meeting with the owner "Chuck" and talking for only about 8 minutes, a very simple conversation about tv brands and warranty information escalated into a full blown argument!? HA! He basically kicked me out and told me to purchase from Best Buy. (in his tiny universe...Best Buy is his evil nemesis...so that was suppose to be an insult I suppose) Who in the hell buys from this guy? Totally combative personality. I'm fairly certain he'd benefit from some psychotropic medication. If this guy wants to survive, his best bet is to handle the accounting in a back room where nobody can see him (preferably in a steel cage) and have an actual human being with an agreeable personality to meet, greet and inform customers. I wouldn't trust buying a drink coaster from this guy,let alone thousands of dollars in electrical equipment. I certainly sensed that once a customer's money is out of their pocket, so is any post-purchase assistance. Thank God Chuck did me a favor and approached me first, rather than after I made a purchase. I now believe with 100% certainty the negative reviewers before me! Crazy.
Unacceptable customer service – We bought a stereo/TV system from them, roughly $5000, the guys had to come back several times for various issues, I don't even remember what they all were. Finally, after about 8 months the receiver started making staticky noises, like a radio with bad reception, loud and very annoying. This kept getting worse, of course, so we called; it took HT weeks to finally come by and pick it up. They said we should be eternally grateful to them for giving us a loaner receiver. After 4 months they brought the original receiver back, said nothing was wrong with it, the installers left without showing us whether or not it was working; sure enough, the first time we turned it on it did it again (the loaner receiver never did). They claim we're doing something wrong (like, what, push the on/off button?), we have requested that someone come back for 2 weeks, today when we called with the same request they got upset that next week we won't be here, and the owner hung up on us. Twice. Said he will not take phone calls from us any more.

Okay, I don't know about you, but I am about damn fed up of all this bullying by Media Matters, and even moreso the advertisers who caved to their pressure to pull their advertising from Rush Limbaugh's show. How do we fight this? We let these advertisers know EXACTLY how we feel about their pussification inflicted by the left-wing media. If I have ever done business with any of these nine corporations, it has already been cut off, or will soon be cut off. I will also make note for time immemorial to NEVER do business with ANY of them, and will tell my friends to do the same.

Fracking? Here??
If we allow oil companies to frack across the Pioneer Valley, it would be an environmental nightmare for our water, air and land.
Through Environment Massachusetts, thousands of citizen members are teaming up with a professional staff to stand up for the places we love and the environmental values we share.
The Bay State has tremendous solar potential, and solar is on the rise—since 2008, solar power in the commonwealth has increased 24-fold. We believe Massachusetts can get 10 percent of our energy from the sun by 2030. That's why we launched a grassroots campaign to help the state go solar. And in 2012, thanks in large part to our efforts, the Massachusetts state Senate voted to expand the state's most successful solar program. Now, we're making sure the House does the same—ensuring that solar will continue to grow here in Massachusetts.
Learn the truth about fracking:
Watch our new expose and take action to stop fracking today. Our new video features experts and communities speaking out about fracking's harmful impacts on our environment and health.

Psychotherapy publishes a wide variety of articles relevant to the field of psychotherapy. We strive to foster interactions among training, practice, theory, and research since all are essential to psychotherapy.
We welcome the widest scope of orientations to inform our readers. Authors are asked to submit theoretical contributions, research studies, novel ideas, the controversial, as well as examples of practice-relevant issues that would stimulate other theorists, researchers, and/or practitioners.
Manuscripts submitted to this Journal must have a very clear statement on the implications for psychotherapy, as well as use psychotherapy terminology. Thus, we are most interested in manuscripts that are specifically related to the therapeutic setting and treatment interventions in an applied manner. As such, papers would need to have very clear and accessible implications for therapists in applied clinical practice.
Directly related to the main aims of this Journal we also encourage submission of articles to a pair of ongoing special series. The first being Practice Review articles that summarize extant research in a clinically accessible manner. The second, parallel in purpose to the Practice Review articles, are Evidence-Based Case Studies that integrate verbatim clinical case material with standardized measures of process and outcome evaluated at different times across treatment.
When clinical case material is reported Authors are required to state in writing which criteria they have used to comply with the ethics code (i.e. specific informed consent, de-identification or disguise), and if de-identification or disguise is used how and where it has been applied.
More information on both of these types of articles can be found on the Psychotherapy Author and Reviewer Resources web page. This web page also contains links to several different resources to help authors conduct their research, including free statistical programs, as well as a range of formatting aids to help authors present their findings.
The average total length of manuscripts accepted for publication in the journal is 25–35 pages, all inclusive. Authors of manuscripts with greater length will need to justify the additional space in the their cover letter to the Editor.
Brief Reports are published and should be no longer than 15 pages, including text, references, tables and figures, but not abstract or title page. Book Reviews are published, and authors of new books should contact Dr. Lisa Wallner Samstag, Book Review Editor, for further information regarding this process.
Manuscript Preparation
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see Chapter 3 of the Publication Manual).
Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.
In order to permit anonymous review, all authors' names, their affiliations, and contact information should be removed from the manuscripts itself and included in the cover letter to the Editor. This cover letter should also address any necessary APA publication policy or ethical principles that may exist (i.e. confidentiality of clinical case material, informed consent, overlapping use of prior published data set, etc).
Please ensure that the final version for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.
Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual.
Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations, computer code, and tables.
Display Equations
We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.
To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:
- Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
- Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.
If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.
Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.
Computer Code
Because altering computer code in any way (e.g., indents, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks) during the typesetting process could alter its meaning, we treat computer code differently from the rest of your article in our production process. To that end, we request separate files for computer code.
In Online Supplemental Material
We request that runnable source code be included as supplemental material to the article. For more information, visit Supplementing Your Article With Online Material.
In the Text of the Article
If you would like to include code in the text of your published manuscript, please submit a separate file with your code exactly as you want it to appear, using Courier New font with a type size of 8 points. We will make an image of each segment of code in your article that exceeds 40 characters in length. (Shorter snippets of code that appear in text will be typeset in Courier New and run in with the rest of the text.) If an appendix contains a mix of code and explanatory text, please submit a file that contains the entire appendix, with the code keyed in 8-point Courier New.
Use Word's Insert Table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.
Submitting Supplemental Materials
APA can place supplemental materials online, available via the published article in the PsycARTICLES® database. Please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for more details.
Abstract and Keywords
All manuscripts must include an abstract containing a maximum of 250 words typed on a separate page. After the abstract, please supply up to five keywords or brief phrases.
List references in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References section.

Graphics files are welcome if supplied as Tiff or EPS files. Multipanel figures (i.e., figures with parts labeled a, b, c, d, etc.) should be assembled into one file.
The minimum line weight for line art is 0.5 point for optimal printing.
For more information about acceptable resolutions, fonts, sizing, and other figure issues, please see the general guidelines.
When possible, please place symbol legends below the figure instead of to the side.
APA offers authors the option to publish their figures online in color without the costs associated with print publication of color figures.
For authors who prefer their figures to be published in color both in print and online, original color figures can be printed in color at the editor's and publisher's discretion provided the author agrees to pay:
- $900 for one figure
- An additional $600 for the second figure
- An additional $450 for each subsequent figure
Authors of accepted papers must obtain and provide to the editor on final acceptance all necessary permissions to reproduce in print and electronic form any copyrighted work, including test materials (or portions thereof), photographs, and other graphic images (including those used as stimuli in experiments).
On advice of counsel, APA may decline to publish any image whose copyright status is unknown.
Publication Policies
APA policy prohibits an author from submitting the same manuscript for concurrent consideration by two or more publications.
See also APA Journals® Internet Posting Guidelines.
APA requires authors to reveal any possible conflict of interest in the conduct and reporting of research (e.g., financial interests in a test or procedure, funding by pharmaceutical companies for drug research).
Authors of accepted manuscripts are required to transfer the copyright to APA.

Ethical Principles
It is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).
In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14).
APA expects authors to adhere to these standards. Specifically, APA expects authors to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.
Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.
The APA Ethics Office provides the full Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct electronically on its website in HTML, PDF, and Word format.

Silver State smokers total more than one-fifth of the population — or 21.5 percent — compared to the national average of 17.3 percent.
As part of Washoe County's observance of National Public Health Week, April 2-8, the county Health District and the American Public Health Association reminds the public that tobacco, drugs and alcohol kill thousands of Americans each year.
On that note, the county offered more statistics to mull.
According to 2010 numbers, people who spark up on a regular basis in Washoe County make up 18.2 percent of adults between 18 and 64 years of age, according to Erin Dixon, the chronic disease prevention coordinator for the Washoe County Health District.
Residents of Utah are the least likely to burn regularly, as smokers make up only 12.1 percent of the population, according to the latest Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention numbers from 2007.
Many pundits have offered answered over the years as to why it is so difficult to quit the dreaded 20-packs. At one point in the 1980s, it was reported in the New York Times that scientists found nicotine was as addictive as heroin, cocaine or amphetamines. For most people, nicotine was more addictive than alcohol.
Dixon offered her own reasons as to why Nevadans smoke more than others.
"Research proves that if you have really good programs, an educated public, resources to help quit, higher tobacco taxes — and you have a strong smoking ban — if you have all of those in place, smoking rates are lower," Dixon said.
Although Nevada does have a smoking ban in place, it is not nearly strong enough to assist in lowering the overall percentage of regular smokers, Dixon said.
"We've lost some tobacco prevention funding and we have relatively low tobacco taxes," she said "Those are some of the reasons smoking rates are higher than in other states."
Washoe County released statistics this week that showed cigarette smoking continues to cause some 443,000 deaths each year, costs some $96 billion in medical expenditures and $97 billion in productivity losses in the U.S.
Every day, nearly 4,000 young people try their first cigarette, according to a release by Phil Ulibarri, spokesman from the county Health District. Some 1,000 will become daily smokers.
"More than 80 percent of adult cigarette smokers will start before their 18th birthday," he said. "Children of parents who smoke are twice as likely to become smokers themselves and more than half of all children in the United States are exposed to secondhand smoke on a regular basis."
County Health Officer Dr. Joseph Iser supports the call to improve the statistics for the better so people can live longer and healthier lives.
"Too many people in our country are dying from tobacco, alcohol and drug use whens impel changes in lifestyle, daily routines and policy changes could save thousands of lives."
To find help in cessation of smoking, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW. For more information about National Public Health Week activities and tobacco cessation, visit www. GetHealthyWashoe.com.

Don't Mess with Massachusetts
It may be everyone's punching bag, but it's time to face facts: The Bay State is best.
Check out our Magnum Photos gallery on Boston.
Massachusetts, in today's political culture, is more epithet than state. The People's Republic, Taxachusetts, "Sweden"—this is America's arugula-munching, maple syrup-swigging, receding-ponytail hippy uncle, exiled to its cold, lonely corner of American geography by Sunbelt population growth and a rightward-leaning national discourse. That "Spirit of America" license plate doth protest too much. For much of the country, Massachusetts, if not actually un-American, is the suspicious redoubt of the American left.
As a native, I'm willing to take it on the chin for the state's crimes against the republic: certain unfortunate regional accents, the term wicked, and that image of Michael Dukakis in a tank . For the state's affection for happy-clappy bumper stickers ("no one is free when others are oppressed") and the drivers my brother calls "Massholes"—I apologize.
Still, all the Bay State-baiting can get depressing. Especially in the recent primary season, as Mitt Romney, pummeled by charges of "Massachusetts moderate," has run far from the state he once governed. Et tu, Mitt?
On the brighter side, though, Gov. Romney's candidacy is an opportunity to take a closer look at the state that dare not speak its name. Through all the red mist and flying blue fur this election year, it's worth reminding voters of a truth Romney probably won't be emphasizing: The nation's favorite punching bag is an exceptionally successful state.
Let's compare Massachusetts to its peers on three basic measures of success: education, social well-being, and economic strength. Some Americans believe good results on these metrics are the goals of responsible government, and others believe they're the happy consequences of free markets. But however we get there, these are desirable outcomes for all Americans.
First up is education, the foundation of America's meritocratic values and the key to whatever success the country will find in a globalized, knowledge-based economy. Massachusetts is renowned for its higher-education institutions. Less well known, though, is that the home of the original Tea Party also has the best schools in the country. On the most basic measures of educational achievement—fourth- and eighth-grade math and reading skills—Massachusetts tops the nation.
Education Week's Quality Counts 2012 report expands on this success. On their overall index, Massachusetts ranks second, to Maryland. But on two of the index's most important measures of results—a lifetime educational Chance for Success index, and a K-12 Achievement index that bundles metrics such as test results, year-on-year improvement, and the gap between poor and wealthier kids (perhaps the truest test of our fabled meritocracy)—the Bay State again leads the nation.
And most of the world. According to a 2011 Harvard study, while reading proficiency in Mississippi is comparable to Russia or Bulgaria, Massachusetts performs more like Singapore, Japan, or South Korea. Often better: Massachusetts students rank fifth in the world in reading, lapping Singapore and Japan, and needless to say, every state in the union. In math, Massachusetts slots in a global ninth, ahead of Japan and Germany. (Some international educational studies rank Shanghai and Hong Kong as separate countries; if this wasn't done, Massachusetts would likely rank two places higher.)
What about social well-being? Above all, we want kids to have a healthy start in life. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, Massachusetts has the nation's highest level of first-trimester prenatal care, and the third-lowest infant mortality rate (Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Missouri are about 50 percent higher). It also has the second-highest rate of child access to both medical and dental care, the nation's lowest child mortality rate, and the lowest teen death rate.

In the 66th minute, Kenady Whitehead corralled a loose ball and fired a 25-yard missile into the back of the net for the lone score of the game.
"Thankfully, we got that goal in at the end because certainly I thought we deserved it with the amount of possession and chances on goal we had," Reed coach Jason Saville said. "But we gave them a tie up there where we should have won and it looked for a long time like it was going to happen the same way."
In the team's first meeting of the season, last month, McQueen scored on a penalty kick in the final minute to walk away with a draw.
Saville was displeased with his team's inability to take advantage of numerous scoring chances Saturday.
One of the opportunities Saville alluded to came in the 53rd minute. Whitehead earned a Raider corner kick after her shot from the top of the box deflected off a McQueen defender and over the crossbar.
Kendra Bujnovsky sent the resulting corner into the middle of the box where it bounced around for several seconds and two shots were deflected by the McQueen goalie before the Lancers finally cleared the ball.
"It's not because we're not moving the ball well and it's not because the team isn't doing what it's supposed to do, it's that final finish, or finding the right ball to give us another opportunity to finish. That's what is letting us down," Saville said.
The win capped a wacky week for the Raiders, who had the week off from school but played four games in six days, winning three of those contests.
Reed (7-4-3) plays at North Valleys Tuesday.
At Spanish Springs, the Cougars had no problem handling the Hawks in a 7-0 win.
After struggling to score as of late, Spanish Springs coach Mike Faker made a few adjustments to his offense's philosophy. It worked. The Cougars out-shot the Hawks 27-2 in the blowout.
"We just changed a few things and it seemed to work. We found our rhythm," Faker said. "We haven't been able to get on the same page and now I think we're going to be able to do that."
Audrey Barham finished with a hat trick (29th, 70th and 76th minutes) and Samantha Ryckebosch scored twice (8th and 47th minutes).
Kiley Diesner (18th minute) and Halee Morgan (25th minute) scored the Cougars other two goals.
The Cougars play at McQueen Tuesday.

The refs are definitely not helping the NBA's reputation right now, as alot people are figuring the league is favoring certain teams with calls and no call. These playoffs just add to that notion.

I just wanted to see if anyone else got this "Bad Attitude" vibe from Rivers on pinkerton night of Roseland VIP ... when we got to hang with the band for 15min
So I walk up to each member: Brian, Scott, and Pat, and they all seem extremely nice and more than happy to sign stuff and take pictures with anyone....I snag photos with them and then I walk over to rivers and I hear him saying he wasn't signing anything, cause he wanted to talk to everyone. Then I go up to him and I ask him very nicely if he wouldn't mind taking a picture with me, and he says yeah, but immediately turns away and talks to a girl ....So I was respectful and waited for him to finish up his chat with her, and at point I thought he was done talking with her, and I ask again nicely about taking a picture with me. he then got very annoyed at me, saying that he doesn't want to waste time taking pictures, he just wants to talk to people,(in the time he told me he didn't want to waste time with a picture we could have taking a picture!!!!) and then he says to me that he was still talking to that girl ... and of course I did not realize this, and I even said I'm really sorry, it was very rude of me to interrupt..... after awhile I somehow get into a conversation with rivers and it seemed somewhat genuine, and i tell him that his music helped me out through some hard times, and he looked at me like I was crazy, and he changed the subject and asked me if I was a musician... Don't get me wrong I respect Rivers a lot, but he honestly made me feel like s***, like I was asking the world of him, and I know we got a picture with the full band afterwords, but I really wanted a picture with just me and rivers, and that really would have meant a lot to me...(not to mention I noticed on facebook that he took personal pictures with people at the other VIP shows!!!)....I don't mean to complain cause I really had a great time at the Blue and Pinkerton show except for that part... but I paid $600 for vip, another $400 for blue night, and not to mention all the money I've put into Weezer's music, and 7 other live shows I've been to over the years, and he wouldn't take 5 secs to take a photo with me....all I wanted was a picture with just me and him ,,and not only did he shut me down, but he made me feel like I was an a******...I didn't want anything signed, but the fact that he wouldn't sign anything either is ridiculous too

all this thread has done is make me happy i didn't shell out the extra money for VIP
and THIS

I say this only partially in jest, but if Michael were a Michelle and had a set of boobs I'm betting this thread wouldn't exist. And I'm a bettin' man.
I would pay to see that, placemats!
I'll see if I can arrange it, maybe even throw in some mud or hot oil for you gals (only because girls love Scott, don't want to give the wrong idea.)
Birdmagon said:

There was another user who posted feeling disappointed with Rivers at the SF show. Apparently this guy waited at the venue exit after the show to get autographs. While the others in the band stopped to say hello and/or sign stuff, Rivers hurried to the car, basically ignoring the guy. So, your not the only one to have more of a negative experience dude. Maybe there is some truth to that old saying "you should never meet your heroes."

BOISE -- The Boise State Broncos will take on the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks Saturday at 2 p.m. You can expect legions of blue and orange fans to dominate downtown Boise when it happens.
That's because Saturday's event is Boise State's first 2012 home game. There's also a new roster of players, new changes to Bronco Stadium, and thousands of new students in attendance at BSU.
In other words: there's a lot to celebrate.
Besides the obvious hoopla over BSU's offensive and defensive depth charts, questions about how BSU stacks up against Miami (Ohio), and other food for thought, we wanted to offer the best information possible to help fans enjoy the game.
Here's our official BSU vs. Miami gameday guide for spectators.
The cost of tickets for the game start at $36 and go up based on the section.
Tickets can be purchased at all Select-a-Seat outlets or by calling the Boise State Ticket Office at 208-426-4737.
They can also be purchased online at IdahoTickets.com.
Viewers can tune into the NBC Sports Channel (NBCS) to see the game broadcast live at 2 p.m.
- Cable One: channel 326 and 408 in HD
- DirecTV: channel 603
- Dish: channel 159
In addition, KTVB will broadcast a live pregame show at Bronco Stadium starting at 1 p.m. You can expect extended live post-game coverage and highlights on KTVB 7.2 starting at approximately at 5:30 p.m.
Paid parking lots at Boise State open at 8 a.m. on Saturday. A number of road closures this year could make some parking tricky. See the university's full parking information here.
While general and reserved gameday parking is available at BSU, thousands of cars typically cruise nearby neighborhoods, parks, and businesses to score open spots.
That's why Boise Police remind fans that state and city codes prohibit parking in the following areas:
- Within 30 feet of a stop sign or yield sign
- Within 20 feet of a crosswalk, marked or unmarked
- Within 15 feet of a fire hydrant
- On a sidewalk
- On a yellow or red "no parking" curb
These laws apply to all motor vehicles, including motorcycles and scooters. Most parking violations carry ticket fines of approximately $47, and vehicles parked in hazardous areas risk being towed.
Additionally, BPD reminds fans that open containers of alcohol are prohibited in public areas, including parks, parking lots, and neighborhood streets. Police say they'll monitor for illegal alcohol use in neighborhoods surrounding Boise State, Julia Davis Park, and other areas.
The Downtown Boise Association plans to offer free shuttle buses to Bronco Stadium. Shuttles run every 15 minutes for two hours prior to game time, and immediately after the game for one hour. For pickup and drop locations, see the Bronco Shuttle link on the association's web page.
Fans are encouraged to wear a tri-color scheme on Saturday, including blue, orange, and white colors. For specific section information, see the 2012 color scheme schedule.
Julia Davis Park (and other Boise parks):
Police say illegal and overnight parking is prohibited in all Boise Parks. Julia Davis park closes at midnight, and cars may be towed after this time. Towing for all other illegal parking actions can happen any time.
However, BPD and Boise Parks and Rec. say towing will not happen until 2 a.m. for games that start after 7 p.m. during 2012's Bronco Football season.
Police also say alcohol and glass containers are prohibited in all parks, except for in designated park shelter areas by those with designated permits. Click here for more on Boise park safety regulations.
University Drive:
Police will post signs on the north and south sides of University Drive to restrict parking between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. on both Friday and Saturday. Vehicles may be ticketed and towed in these areas.
Additional Parking Opportunity:
Police say fans can park at the Ada County Courthouse and help victims of child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. Fans can park at the Ada County Courthouse, 200 W. Front Street for each home game during the 2012-2013 football season at a cost of $5.00 per car. All parking revenue proceeds will directly benefit victims served at Faces Family Justice Center.
Go Broncos!

ESPN insider: Cardinals just 'got beat' by Chiefs
Then Reid interviewed with the Kansas City Chiefs, and that idea flew out the window.
Word leaked early Thursday that Reid to the Chiefs was 'imminent', and that the Cardinals were in turn setting their sights on other options.
Given that it appears Arizona may have been used as leverage, people are wondering if the Cardinals "got played" by the Reid camp.
"I think they just got beat, more than anything else," ESPN NFL insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday, noting a deal is not officially done yet. "I think you can see where structure wasn't going to work."
Clayton said Reid will have more freedom in Kansas City than he would have in Arizona, as Cardinals president Michael Bidwill is also searching for a new general manager as well as a coach. It's been reported that Reid would like to bring his own general manager along, and that may not have jived with what Arizona wanted to do.
But still, Reid had every intention of chatting with the Cardinals.
"Now, he planned to come out (to Arizona)," Clayton added. "Went nine hours [Wednesday], it went well.
listen Listen: John Clayton, ESPN NFL insider
The professor gives us insight into where Cards' former head coach Whiz will end up, the latest on the Cards' search for a new head coach, and a look at the Wild Card Weekend matchups.
Clayton said Reid and the Chiefs are now in the stage of working out contract numbers, figuring the coach will make around $7.5 to $8 million along with having plenty of control over personnel, which is a number the Cardinals may not have wanted any part of.
"That's why he called and cancelled the flights, and he still left it open for if things fall apart that he can go there, but he's going to end up in Kansas City."

Shapley wrote:Sen. Graham Blasts Obama On Lack Of Leadership
According to Graham, Obama is having televised lunches and writing editorials, but is not involving himself in negotiations over the stimulus bill.
I'd say it is too early for me to chime on his leadership skills. We knew going in that he lacked experience, but he may be a quick study. This is his first test. If the stimulus bill fails, it will reflect poorly on him, and he will have to work hard to regain credibility as a leader. If he salvages it, it will give him credibility as a leader. The world is watching.
It's WAY TOO EARLY for anyone to be making these judgements..........
Giant Communist Robot wrote:I suspect many find it hard to criticize his performance and rather than say something good will say its too early.
You have no opinion on his cabinet choices? No feeling one way or another about any of them? What about the stimulus package? Can't tell one way or another how look at it? What about those two cabinet choices who withdrew because of tax reasons? How long to wait before forming an opinion about that? The Al-Jazeer interview? Too soon for that?
Giant Communist Robot wrote:In reading Obama's book, "Dreams of my father," I gathered this is a guy with a lot of experience dealing with different personalities with differing agendas. He's practical. I hope this experience gives him skill. By some strange chance, he may be the best qualified for these challenges we now see.
Giant Communist Robot wrote:I don't wish to seem combative, Shapley, but you have toe'd the party line in the past so much it seems unlikey you would have an objective opinion about Obama's leadership performance. Say something good about him and maybe I'll believe you!
Giant Communist Robot wrote: This objectivity allowed millions of smokers to feel it was ok to continue smoking, in spite of the evidence.
Do you honestly know anyone who smoked but didn't think it was a hazard?
Giant Communist Robot wrote:For some reason I can't remember the '60s.
Haggis@wk wrote:I maintained from the very beginning that he was lying to the American electorate. He promised things that he never intended to fulfill. For instance, twice in the last two weeks he's violated his campaign promise -- the "Sunlight Before Signing" pledge – when he said he would not sign any non-emergency bills without offering the public five days to review and comment on the legislation.
Giant Communist Robot wrote:Do you honestly know anyone who smoked but didn't think it was a hazard?
For some reason I can't remember the '60s.
Obama has been routinely late to events and news conferences, including the ones at which he reversed Bush's orders. This has led to an already familiar refrain from the Obama camp: "He's running late."
The president was nearly 30 minutes late Wednesday for the ceremony at which he signed a bill to expand children's health care. He was 10 minutes late Thursday to a memo signing at the Energy Department.
Even before the inauguration, Obama wasn't a punctual sort; he arrived late to a Jan. 8 news conference on the economy that was aired live by broadcast and cable networks.
When it comes to following the clock, Obama closely resembles Bill Clinton, who was famously late to events when he was president. By contrast, Bush despised being late and punctual to a fault. He set the tone early in his presidency -- he arrived at the Capitol five minutes early for his inauguration.
"To me, being tardy, it's got to be one of two things," said presidential historian Doug Wead, who advised both Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush. "Bad organization that can be corrected, or it's arrogance. It sounds to me like this is arrogance."
Mark Lindsay, a Democratic consultant and former senior White House adviser to Bill Clinton, disagreed, explaining that Clinton was late sometimes because he was making accommodations for logistics or average citizens.
I think he seems to be a smart guy
I maintained from the very beginning that he was lying to the American electorate.
Giant Communist Robot wrote:[I'd say he wasn't specific about his plans during the campaign, and if he chooses different plans than those he proposed, maybe there's some leeway there. Lying means these plans that are different are the ones he always intended. Can't be proved, but one can suspect. I suspect all politicians are liars.
You're probably right, most politicians are likely dishonest
Haggis@wk wrote:Do you honestly know anyone who smoked but didn't think it was a hazard? I sure don't. I started smoking in the early '60s and I always knew it was a hazard.

Stepan scored his first goal since Dec. 20 after converting Ottawa defenseman Erik Karlsson's turnover into a 3-1 lead with 12 seconds remaining in the session.Methot unleashed a blast from the top of the left circle to open the scoring at 3:37 of the first period before Richards forged a tie over six minutes later. The veteran accepted a brilliant feed across the goal mouth from Stepan and lifted a shot past Anderson for a power-play goal.GAME NOTEBOOK: Zuccarello scored for the second time in as many games after beating Anderson on a breakaway with 3:10 remaining in the third period. ...
