About 90 Hondurans a day cross illegally from Mexico into the US at the Rio Grande near McAllen, according to the Honduran Consulate, and the families are then brought to Central Station in McAllen and released on their own recognizance.

The Auto Train can accommodate cars, vans, motorcycles, SUVs, small boats, jet-skis and some other recreational vehicles. Reservations are required and are only available to those who are traveling with their vehicles.
Stations: The nonstop Auto Train travels between Lorton, Virginia, which is located outside of Washington, D.C., and Sanford, Florida, which is near Orlando.
Accommodations and Amenities: Accommodations and corresponding price levels range from coach seats to bedroom suites. Meals are included. (Photo of Deluxe Sleeper)
Travel Time: The scheduled trip by train lasts about 17 and 30 minutes versus straight driving time of around 12 hours and 40 minutes to cover over 800 miles without any stops or delays (unlikely) along the way.
Tips for Traveling on the Auto Train: Here are a few tips to help you prepare and enjoy your trip. For detailed information, visit the Amtrak website or call the Amtrak number listed below. All information provided here is subject to change and should be confirmed with Amtrak before making your plans:
- You must obtain your Auto Train tickets before you board the train and it is a good idea to pick up your tickets in advance if possible. A photo ID is required to pick up your tickets and on the day of your departure.
- Make sure you have a clear understanding about your required check-in time and allow plenty of time to arrive early. Check-in times vary depending on the type of vehicle you have.
- Pack a small carry-on bag for your overnight on the train and remember to take everything you will need from your vehicle before checking your car. There is a limit of two carry-on bags per passenger, but less is better with limited space on the train. (That said, many frequent Auto Train travelers recommend taking your own comfortable pillow and a small blanket, especially if traveling in coach.)
- Because there is no baggage checking on the Auto Train, all other luggage must remain in your vehicle, which will be restricted from access throughout the trip. Valuable items should not be left in your vehicle. (Photo of loading vehicles onto the train)
- Car alarm systems should be deactivated before you leave your car to avoid the risk of a dead battery upon arrival in the event your alarm goes off during the trip.
- Meals (dinner and breakfast) are included in the price of your ticket, and snacks are available for purchase in the Lounges. You are permitted to bring your own food and beverages, however, if you wish. (Photo of the Dining Car)
- Once you arrive at your destination, retrieving your vehicle can take anywhere from about twenty minutes to two hours, so plan your itinerary accordingly.
Additional Information: See Photos of the Amtrak Auto Train. For more about schedules, rates, procedures and reservations, call 1-877-SKIP-I-95 (1-877-754-7495) or visit the Amtrak Website - Auto Train Information.

Main :: POD HD
Support forums for all POD HD products
by roesler13 on 2011-03-22 16:50:16
Hi im using the 4 cable method with the Pod HD 500 and my Peavey 6505+ and have encountered a couple problems within the past week. I am getting a high pitch feedback sound after a few seconds if I leave my hands off the strings or stop playing. It happens when the post is at 4 or higher, but when I stand outside the bandroom with the door closed and try to get feedback with the post at 6 or 7 I cant. I never had this feedback problem before. I could play as loud as I want with no feedback. I bought my Pod new about 5 months ago and I bought my Peavey 6505+ new about 6 months ago.
by Nick_Mattocks on 2011-03-23 15:39:43
You might find including a Noise Gate effect in your HD500 signal chain as the first effect helps.
Also can you elaborate exactly on your exact physical connection setup and on your HD500 patch (ie list the FX in order and the FX loop position in the chain, whether you might be using an amp model, the positions of the AMP/LINE switch and the LINE/STOMP switch and your amp make/model)?
You could always upload your patch here and maybe we can help identify potential causes of your feedback issue
by addytsoi on 2012-01-13 11:01:03
I would like to say that I have exactly the same issue.
I am very appreciate the direct output recording quality. But the feedback issue is troubling me in live.
I am using a standard Fender Strat and got a high pitch (~4k - 8k)unwanted (& uncontrolled) feedback when I put the volume to higher level. I have tried with different Fender / Marshall / return / direct PA but same problem.
I have never have this problem in previous years after I become a new Line6 Hd500 user a couple weeks ago.
There is the chain below:
Pre Fx
Noise gate
Decay 50%
Thresh 40%
Post Fx
Vol Pedal
Treadplate Pre
Drive 85%
Bass Mid Treble 50%
Pres 30%
CH Vol 45%
87 Condenser mic
Could you assist to help. Thank you.

by TheRealZap on 2012-01-13 11:05:27
i had a similar problem with a strat... turned out to be an issue with the wax potting on the pickups...
something you might look at.
by jimsreynolds on 2012-01-13 11:20:14
Are you actually using 4CM? You seem to have amp models set and if you are using them when you are doing 4CM with the amp's preamp in the patch (i.e. an FX Loop in there and switched on) then I would expect you to have dodgy tone and problems.
If you are doing 4CM then you would either use:
- A modelled pre-amp or;
- The amp's real pre-amp
Not both.
by addytsoi on 2012-01-13 13:16:29
Thanks a lot for reply and providing me the solution.
I use Studio/Direct output mode.
I connect hd500 mono output to mixer (the PA) with 1 guitar cable but the high pitch feedback (plus enlarged single coil noise from 1, 3, 5 pickup) is still existing.
Did you guys experience this same issue?
by roesler13 on 2012-01-23 02:01:41
Of course Im not using the Pod's digital fake tone with my tube amp. Im skipping the amp modeling and just using it for effects. Either way the noise gate doesnt seem to cut much of the feed back. If I use a seperate noise gate (not line 6 of course) it will work just fine and solve all of the feedback problems. Is the noise gate on the Pod Hd 500 just for show or am I missing something? Because its only doing half of the job.
Its what Ive come to expect from line 6 at this point. This is my first time back on this site in months and theres still no news about a DAW for the Pod HD even though the Pod X3 has it.
by jimsreynolds on 2012-01-23 06:43:55
With the 1.40 firmware there is a second gate introduced that may work bettter for you - 'Hard Gate' designed for high gain tones.
Frankly though, I would look at the levels and noise throughout your setup and get a better understanding of why you have suddenly picked up such bad feedback. I had a killer feedback problem with 4CM and my JVM410C that I traced back to a ground loop in my setup between the amp input and the loop (more details in the thread here http://line6.com/support/message/317687#317687">http://line6.com/support/message/317687#317687">http://line6.com/support/message/317687#317687),
The symptom was serious hum and a 'notchy' noise that crept into my high gain tones using the JVM Preamp. This turned immediately into feedback over a certain master volume level. I could not gate it at all. Once I fixed the ground loop I was able to gain out any remaining hiss.
On levels: your 6505 does not have any controls to adjust loop levels AFAIK so make sure that you have got them set right. Too much level increase in one area can really destabilise things and in 4CM this is way too easy.
I did a guide for 4CM on the POD 500 a while back. It might be useful to skim that. http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-2522

CENTRALIA — Belleville East was far from perfect in its season opener Monday night, but the Lancers did enough good things to get started on the right foot.
Senior Cameron Hunter's free throw with 1.7 seconds to play in the second overtime was the difference as the Lancers rallied past Mahomet-Seymour 73-72 in the Centralia Thanksgiving Tournament.
Hunter sank the first of two free throws. After his second attempt rimmed out, the Bulldogs called timeout with 1.4 seconds left. East senior Domonic Blaylock stole the inbounds pass as time expired.
"It's the first game and both teams made some mistakes," Lancers coach Abel Schrader said. "We're playing a lot of guys with not much varsity experience. They pretty much had it any way they wanted to offensively with us. We were not very good defensively. We've got a lot to get better at.
"But I give our kids credit. They were down eight points (in the fourth quarter) and they could have shut it down and lost by eight or 10 points. And they didn't. They fought harder."
Senior Darreon Reddick led the Lancers with 25 points, 21 of them coming in the second half. Senior Austin Cox had 14 points and Blaylock had 12. The trio combined to go 21-for-29 from the floor.
"We've got a bunch of seniors who have never played," Reddick said. "So we've got to jell together. It's a bad first game, but we'll get it together when we start jelling together."
Senior Sam Hohlfelder put on a dazzling offensive display with 38 points and four 3-pointers for the Bulldogs despite not starting because of an off-the-court issue.
"It would have been nice to get the win," said the 6-foot Hohlfelder, who was 13-for-22 from the field. "But Belleville East was tough. They were really quick and we didn't match up with their quickness very well. But I think we'll get better. ... It's a tough one to lose."
Hohlfelder said he felt sharp during the pregame.
"I felt pretty confident. I wasn't missing shots in warmups, and I thought it would carry over in the game," said Hohlfelder, who averaged just over 14 points last season. "I really struggled with inconsistency. I tried to work hard over the summer to develop some consistency.
"I know this isn't going to happen every game. We play a really tough schedule and we have a lot of talented guys on our team."
Mahomet-Seymour, which led 28-23 at halftime, took a 53-45 advantage on junior Andrew Franklin's basket with 2:39 left in the fourth quarter.
East trailed 55-48 when it went on a 7-0 run. Blaylock's 3-pointer cut the Bulldogs' lead to 55-53 before Reddick's basket tied the game at 55 with 40 second remaining.
Mahomet-Seymour had a chance to win in regulation, but senior Grant Farchmin missed a 10-footer at the buzzer.
East nearly won in the final second of the first overtime, but freshman EnRico Sylvester's 3-pointer was no good.
In the second overtime, Reddick's 3-pointer with 1:43 to play knotted the game at 69. Junior Conner Diedrich hit one of two free throws to put Mahomet-Seymour on top 70-69, but Hunter gave the Lancers a 71-70 lead with a jumper at the 1:21 mark.
Blaylock's free throw made it 72-70, but Hohlfelder made two free throws to tie the game at 72 with 45.6 seconds to play.
Finally, Hunter was fouled as he went for a layup, and his ensuing free throw finally gave the Lancers their winning margin.
Reddick was 9-for-15 from the field and Cox was 7-for-9. Blaylock finished 4-for-4 as East was 29-for-51 overall (57 percent). That helped the Lancers overcome 20 turnovers.
Centralia 52, Mascoutah 33
The Orphans were in control from start to finish as they opened their season with win over the Indians. Mascoutah scored just three points in the second quarter and trailed 28-10 at halftime.
Senior Jake Wood led all scorers with 19 points for Centralia. Senior Trevahn Williams had six to lead the Indians, who were 8-for-34 from the field (24 percent).
Centralia outrebounded Mascoutah 32-16.

Another Cinderella Story is a 2008 American teen romantic comedy musical dance film, directed by Damon Santostefano and starring Selena Gomez, Drew Seeley and Jane Lynch. The film was released direct-to-DVD by Warner Premiere on September 16, 2008. It is a thematic sequel to the 2004 film A Cinderella Story, reprising the same themes and situations but not containing any characters from the original film.
The film premiered on ABC Family on January 18, 2009 and was ranked as the number one cable movie in several key demographics when aired on the television channel. The film won the 2010 Writers Guild of America Award for Children's Script-Long or Special.[1]
The film occasionally airs on Disney Channel and ABC Family.
This movie is a retelling of the Cinderella fairy tale in a modern setting, with Mary Santiago (Selena Gomez), a high school student with ambitions of becoming a dancer, taking the role of Cinderella; Tami (Jessica Parker Kennedy) Mary's only friend as her fairy godmother; Dominique Blatt (Jane Lynch) taking the role of the stepmother; Britt (Emily Perkins) and Bree (Katharine Isabelle) as the two stepsisters; and Joey Parker, (Drew Seeley), now a famous celebrity that has returned to school for his senior year and to remember why he started dancing, as the prince. A school dance substitutes for the ball, with the role of the glass slipper filled by a Zune. [2]
- Selena Gomez as Mary Santiago. Mary is the Cinderella character of the film. Her mother was a dancer and died when she was young. Dominique took her in. Dominique and her twin daughters made her their maid and treated her horribly.
- Drew Seeley as Joey Parker. The Prince charming character. Joey is a famous pop star and is taking a break from being on tour, to finish high school. He falls in love with Mary after they dance at the ball.
- Jane Lynch as Dominique Blatt. The evil-stepmother in the story. Dominique is a washed up pop-star and took in Mary after her mother died and makes Mary be her maid.
- Emily Perkins as Britt Blatt. One of the evil step-sister characters. She is Dominque's daughter. She has braces and often fights with her sister. Britt is the weirder one out of the two.
- Katharine Isabelle as Bree Blatt. One of the evil step-sisters. She is Britt's twin sister. Bree is the dumber one out of the two.
- Jessica Parker Kennedy as Tami. An aspiring fashion designer and Mary's best friend. She is the fairy godmother character and helps her out throughout her life.
- Marcus T. Paulk as Dustin / The Funk. Joey's best friend and "manager". He starts a relationship with Tami and is a skilled dancer and rapper.
- Nicole LaPlaca as Natalia Faroush. Joey's ex-girlfriend who is still not over him and wants to get back together. Natalia is jealous of Mary and her dancing abilities. She is also a dancer. She is Bree and Britt's "best friend" even though she is terrible to them.
The film was shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada between November 2007 to December 2007. Filming the high school scenes in Sullivan Heights Secondary, Surrey, British Columbia.
Critical response[edit]
Amber Wilkinson of Eye for Film gave the film, four out of five stars and praised the musical aspects, saying that "the song and dance numbers are so well-handled and catchy, it's a shame there aren't more of them." However, she also said that the "characters are so wafer thin they barely cast a shadow."[3] While Wilkinson says that the film is completely different from A Cinderella Story, Lacey Walker, reviewing for Christian Answers, notes several aspects of the two films that were directly parallel to each other. Walker also gave it three out of five stars, praising the script, saying the writers "peppered this story with a surprising dose of humor and some pleasing plot twists." However, Walker specifically criticized the "glaringly obvious" age difference between the 15 year old Gomez and the 25 year old Seeley.[4]
ABC Family presented the television premiere of the film on January 18, 2009.[5] The premiere was watched by 5.3 million viewers.
The film was followed by A Cinderella Story: Once Upon a Song, was released on September 6, 2011 and starring Lucy Hale, Freddie Stroma, Megan Park and Missi Pyle.

Don's Friend Tonja's Cousin Toni's Boyfriend's Grandmother's Eggnog10 Reviews 1 Pic

"Tonja was born in the 1940's and this is her cousin Toni's boyfriend's grandmother's eggnog, so I'm guessing this is from the mid-1800's and probably dates much earlier. The original recipe called for half milk and half cream, but I use half and half. Delicious and simple, but be warned, Granny apparently liked a kick! I've made it from scratch and with the modern equivalents and it's fantastic either way. Do yourself a favor and use a mixer for everything. Those who like eggnog LOVE this recipe. I never leave a party with leftovers."

- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in the bourbon, rum, half and half and nutmeg.
- In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cream until it can stand in a peak. Fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture. Pour into a plastic container and refrigerate overnight (if possible). Shake the container before serving.

It is safer to heat 1/2 quart of the milk, slowly add the beaten eggs to that, and cook at med-low heat for 2-3 minutes. Strain this into the remaining 1 1/2 qta. of milk. Raw eggs can be a problem. Alternately, make sure the raw eggs being used are pasteurized.
This sounds just like the recipe my aunt Shirley would make but not give us the recipe! Thanks! Her's was the best!
This eggnog recipe is just awesome! I made one alcoholic batch and one virgin batch and there was not a drop left at the end of our evening! I only used rum (two and a half cups) and no bourbon but it tasted fantastic. Everyone that had some said how light and easy to drink it was - not like store-bought eggnog that is very thick, heavy and sugary. This really is a great recipe.

Tredyffrin Police Superintendent Andrew Chambers has decided to retire at the end of the year. The resignation was announced "with mixed emotion" Monday night by Tredyffrin Board of Supervisors Chairman Robert Lamina.
Chambers is due to return to work Wednesday after serving a four day suspension without pay following an incident in which his teenage son crashed a township police car while driving on a closed training course with an instructor in the vehicle.
The announcement came during Monday's Board of Supervisor's first public meeting since the suspension was imposed. The announcement of Chambers' decision to retire came after Lamina outlined a series of executive sessions of the board that led up to the suspension.
The board previously issued a statement which reads in part "the Township is disappointed with Superintendent Chambers' uncharacteristic lapse in judgement."
The prepared statement, written before Chambers' tendered his retirement notice offers strong support for the 30 year veteran of the Tredyffrin Police Department. "Superintendent Chambers has an exemplary, unblemished record in his 30 years of service to the residents of Tredyffrin Township and he continues to enjoy the Board of Supervisors' full confidence," the statement reads.
In his letter announcing his intention to retire, Lamina says the Chief said in part that his decision to retire was in the best interest of his family and the department.

From a storytelling angle, we all love the big bad evil guy (BBEG). We love our main villains whether they be Sarumon or Hans Gruber. They are the mastermind behind the treachery faced by your PCs and, for that reason, they are the most sought out for your PC's vengeance.
In good storytelling we like to see our masterminds struggle with our heroes but in D&D this often plays out a different way. Elite villains in D&D end up being a lightning rod for damage, often dying in the first one or two rounds of combat as all of your players use every powerhouse daily they have to bring the poor wretch down. It is not uncommon for every member of the party to ignore any other threat in an encounter to focus all of their attention on the big bad evil guy and bring him or her down as fast as they can.
Today we're going to look at some ways you can keep your mastermind upright even when the full wrath of the PCs falls upon them.
(Artwork courtesy of the awesome@JaredvonHindman ofHead Injury Theater, used with permission.)
The Prismatic Shield
I used the prismatic shield to keep my main villain in "Nightwyrm Fortress" from dying too quickly. He was a larvamage wizard and agent of Orcus named Magrathar. I knew from watching my players fight previous elites that they would drop him in one to two rounds if he didn't have some sort of protection. Following good story design, Magrathar knew this as well! So he used some magic, old magic, to protect himself: the prismatic shield.
Prismatic Shield
Magrathar begins battle surrounded in a shell of shining colors. As long as this shield is up, Magrathar cannot take damage. Each color requires a specific elemental attack to destroy. These elements include fire, cold, lightning, and poison.You will want to tune the required elemental attacks around the ability of your party. Ensure there is no element in the shield that your party does not have. Another variant of this would be a shell of protection that requires four specific weapons to break. These weapons would be hunted down by the party and acquired so they can face the mastermind and defeat him.
The Circle of Protection
I used the circle of protection in another battle, this time against a dwarven death knight. The death knight had performed a terrible ritual to protect himself in four beams of violet light each emanating from a tortured impaled sacrifice. Each beam bestowed +2 to all defenses to the death knight (+8 total). This made him VERY hard to hit but not impossible. In fact, our ranger critically hit him on the first shot for a whopping 90 damage. Each sacrifice needed to be broken down to defeat the beam, requiring three religion, arcana, or athletics checks. These could be conducted as minor actions (so the PC didn't waste a standard on a challenge) but could only be undertaken once on a character's turn.
This made it very hard to hit the mastermind but not impossible so players still felt like they had a shot. It also only required minor actions to use a skill but requiring three per sacrifice (of four) slowed down the party's ability to unleash the fires of hell upon the mastermind. It ended up being a good threatening battle that didn't frustrate the players.
The False Lightning Rod
There is another tricky way to ensure your big villain isn't quickly killed - the sheep in wolf's clothing. Take a creature that the party will assume is your big villain and have it show up first. A death giant, for example, in a battle with smaller humans will grab a lot of attention from your defenders and strikers - until it turns out he was simply there to take all that damage before the REAL bad guy reveals himself. Players love to attack big things so putting a big thing out on the table is likely to grab their attention (and damage) moreso than the true mastermind who waits in the shadows.
For a very challenging encounter, it might turn out that all of the minions waiting in the wings are truly the dangerous part of a battle. See the Foulspawn monster optimization article for an example.
The best insurance you have to help your mastermind stay alive is to know your players. Understand that the minute they see a big boss, they're going to unleash everything they have at it. Use this to tune your battles and only reveal the mastermind when you know it can come out swinging and, hopefully, last enough rounds to show its true power.

For a succinct vision of the role parents can play in their children's education, a useful starting point is a tale of three mothers and an eggplant, told by Phyllis Hunter, former director of reading for Houston's public schools.
Hunter's first mother wheels her shopping cart down the produce aisle of a supermarket, where her kindergartner spots an eggplant and asks what it is. The mother shushes her child, ignoring the question. The second mother, faced with the same question, responds curtly, "That's an eggplant, but we don't eat it."

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Brad And Angelina Prepare For Wedding With New Construction At Miraval
Posted on Thu Feb 23, 2012 12:55 PM PDT
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are continuing with renovations and now massive new construction at their humongous, 14th-century estate and vineyard, Miraval, in southern France.
The couple updated the private chapel on their beautiful property last year, but now it appears they're building a huge new building that will be perfect for a reception.
More than 50 construction vehicles are coming in and out of Miraval, 'round-the-clock. Buzz in the nearby village of Correns is that Brangelina will finally tie the knot this fall, at their soon-to-be perfect compound.
The original structure was built in the 16th century, and some of the oldest parts of the property are from the 14th century. When Pitt and Jolie were doing work on the chapel last year, the superstar couple had to get all construction approved by the local government, due to the fact that the structures and the gardens on the property are classified historical monuments.
Pitt and Jolie previously said they wouldn't tie the knot until gay couples could legally be married, but he recently told The Hollywood Reporter that they may not be able to wait that long. He said, "We made this declaration some time ago that we weren't going to do it till everyone can. But I don't think we'll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment."
Pitt also echoed that sentiment during a recent interview with CBS Morning News, so it seems like he and Jolie definitely have wedding bells on the brain!
Will this beat Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding?! Wish it would be broadcast live on TV!

To Da Front – 10/1/13
We didn't have any real good footage of the gauntlet called the Roadrunner race at Star from Saturday, but there is video of the nights events posted by David McGuire. Also, due to the nights events, we chose to opt out of running Hudson on Sunday.
NEMST Heat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNyGnf7hW5w
Roadrunner Feature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSes9rjWIKI
In round one of practice, smoke was spotted steaming out from our control panel. After going out for a tight round of practice, we inspected all the connections and noticed nothing of a concern. This issue didn't return to us until the NEMST race later that night.
During the Roadrunner heat, the car still wasn't dialed in. And while riding around in the top groove out of turn 2, our left rear got hooked by trouble-maker of the night, Seth Stickney. He revisited several other drivers in his constant pursuit to either plow through people, or to be in the way.
In NEMST heat action, while being passed by a 2 car pack of the 48 and the 90, the 90 had lost a tire, and our left rear had stopped him from some potentially severe wall contact. This contact had bent our rear end again, but the car started handling well. It's a team decision to save this spindle and use it on our next visit to the quarter miler.
Not having a spare spindle to replace it with, we decided to just go on with it bent. Well that deemed to be the perfect call because the car hadn't handled better all night. We started 11th and survived the constant abuse from the back bumper of people who are trying to win on lap 8. On one particular restart, the car in front didn't quite get up to speed, and impatience struck again as we got turned into the inside car and got clobbered in the door, losing a good sized portion of the panel. All in all, we had a good race and ended up 5th in the first segment. Fog had rolled in and cut the night short.
After making repairs and rolling out for the tour race that followed, we made it into turn 1 on the warm-up lap when the car decided to die. Pushed into the pits we immediately found it to be an electrical issue, and the connector on the switch from earlier had broken off the back. Trying our hardest to get it repaired so we could finish, we ended up making it out on lap 28 of 50. No chance in advancing position, but we will not accept a DNF.
Pit Crew of the night award has to go to our main man "Beak" for risking his phones life after the switch repair; it had ended up in the grass above turns 1 & 2, unharmed.
Up next: Finale weekend! We'll be at Waterford Saturday and Sunday with father Terry Bombard in the X-Car event Saturday, and Mitch running with the Mini Stocks on Sunday.

…October 26th, 2012! That's right! Just a few minutes ago, Steven Sinofsky announced at Microsoft's annual sales meeting that customers will be able to get Windows 8 – whether in upgrade fashion or on a new PC – starting on October 26th. Earlier this month at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, Tami Reller told attendees Windows 8 would be available in October. But now everyone has a specific date to mark on their calendars. It's on mine!
I'm still using Windows 8 to power my home improvement blog at http://designshi.com and I must say that it is doing me a world of good!! I don't care what they say about you, keep up the great work Microsoft lol.

I've tried it out, and it might be ok for tablet users, but for desktop pc users its a piece of crap, stick with windows 7 for pc, it has everything you need, pc users will just be waisting their money on this.
Isn't windows 8 more for touch screen computers than standard ones? Is there even a reason for non touch screen users to upgrade?
I've very impressed with the pricing for Windows 8. It is a very fair price and it has encouraged me to upgrade all my computers to Windows 8. I do hope trust that you are considering a similar reasonable pricing when you release Microsoft Office 2013 rather than the current higher prices which encourage us to use alternate programs.
I think it is 26 October 2012. can I know where is the WINDOWS 8, for which the world is waiting.......
hi, does anybody know when Sruface will be available in Central- and Eastern European countries?
Guys is the Surface Pro launch date out yet? I assume it's after 90 days of Surface launch... Which means 26-Jan-2013... Is it? Please confirm, as i need to start planning my saving to afford it :) also any idea on Surface Pro Pricing ?
Good Job , I hope it works better than it does now
i have a problem with windows 8 where can i ask for it ?
Instead of those much new useless features you should have better concentrate on the essentiuals how to improve windows , such as tabbed Explorer (xyplorer.com) with Mouse Autofocus (scroll without the need to click the item first to get the focus, as its for ages in OS X Finder) or EASY customizeable Icons as it is possible in OS X for ages.
Currently customizing icons is just a mess.
I hope that there will be a Aero Glass Theme (with blur, shadow, rounded corners) available for Windows 8.
Until then I wont use it even tho I got it already for free as Student.
Just put it in my calendar on my Focus. So glad it's on a Friday, gives me thwhole weekend to play around with it.thanks
The Windows 8 Store will have between 11,246 - 12,811 Apps by November 3rd, 2012. 64,542 in November 2013. 325,161 in November 2014 and in nearly three years it will have a total of 1,638,134 Apps.
I can see enterprise users slipstreaming something like classic shell into their custom win8 builds. Come on Microsoft, sort it out, give us back the start menu (I use it *all the time*) and boot into the desktop by default. this constant flipping back and forth between metro and desktop really makes my eyes hurt. The fullscreen metro apps like internet exploder http://youtu.be/7-POdZCM1jg make my eyes bleed and my brain ache. It's too loud. it's too bright. There's too much wasted white space everywhere.
mark this date in calendar :D but hope to get cheap(fairly ) price for upgrade!
Thanks to Microsoft and to the Windows 8 team by developing such an awesome OS for this generation. I have been using Windows 8 from Aug 17 .....It Was just Awesome...........

and what about WP8???? waiting for WP8 since it was announced.
I have been waiting to buy a new PC since I initially heard the news of a Windows 8 release last year and thought it would be perfect if it came out in October 2012. I'm ecstatic!
Will there be a Windows 8 launch event in Portland, OR that I can attend?
@tw8rivera, First, the date is October 26th for General Availability. Second you can try the Enterprise Evaluation at social.technet.microsoft.com and click downloads.
I have been following and testing Windows 8 for a while and learned of the August 26th 2012 release date. Where is Windows 8? I have not seen it anywhere in the market yet. This is a little disappointing.
Hi I love windows 8 and when windows 8 is able to buy is the windows 8 release preview will be removed from my dell inspiron mini 1018 because I install windows 8 on windows 7 starter Im worried because I don't know how to install windows 7
Thanks for the release date banner displayed on the home page, it feels good to have a firm date.
Hey to add to the excitement and intensity – please consider adding a countdown clock or something similar to the eye catching effect.
Another BIG thanks to Team Windows you guys are awesome!
- Stay Powered by Windows
I did a fresh install of windows 8 on a spare hard drive, put it in my laptop and gave it to my wife to play with. I didn't say anything, just, 'Here's windows 8, try it out and tell me what you think.'
She said it felt like it was designed for people with learning difficulties, or for children, or for people with poor vision...
Needless to say, she didn't like it. She really didn't get the 'put your mouse in the far corners thing' '
'It's a bit shitty' where her exact words to sum it up.
I can see enterprise users slipstreaming something like classic shell into their custom win8 builds. Come on Microsoft, sort it out, give us back the start menu (I use it *all the time*) and boot into the desktop by default. this constant flipping back and forth between metro and desktop really makes my eyes hurt. The fullscreen metro apps like internet exploder make my eyes bleed and my brain ache. It's too loud. it's too bright. There's too much wasted white space everywhere. Give laptop and desktop users the option to turn metro off by default during an install.
i want to asking a question about my license.
i have an original cd windows xp installed on my laptop and then i want to upgrade to windows 8.
what happen with my both windows licences if my laptop broken and i buy a new one.
1. can i install my windows xp and then upgrade it to windows 8 on other laptop ?.
2. and what about in the same laptop,can i install windows xp and then upgrade it to windows 8 anytime and many time ?
thank you.
I'll buy online, get the key and install. Just the way I did for Windows7.
Come on Brandon, where's the RTM post :)?
Retail versions/
I use Full Versions..on DVD
What about walking into a Staples Office Supply store?
last i checked there was no close buttons onanything you open in windows 8 and certain things were Hidden...so i predict a lot of phone calls to support to the point of extream traffic congestion on thier lines and to being redickulas...
imagine 'money symbols $$$ with angle wings "
Tested already developer and release preview,
My mom says when win 8 comes we go on the first day to buy them!
And a surface table¨!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hopfully my window preview activation's key can be activated
this will be available in India from 26.10.2012 or not??
will it be available in all the countries from 26.10.2012
I think only the WinRT version of Surface will be out at launch. The Intel-based Pro will be a couple of months later. Also, I'd imagine a web-installable version of the Windows 8 upgrade will be available at launch. I'd much prefer that anyway, as opposed to going to the local retailer and buying a CD, which will be more expensive. If memory serves, the downloadable will be the one that's $40, and the CD version will be $70.
On a side note, I was disappointed to discover yet ANOTHER Windows 8 metro app has disappeared from the Store. I have both TuneIn Radio and iHeartRadio installed, and when I logged in I saw there were two updates waiting in the Store. Much to my frustration, I launched the Store app, clicked on the Updates link and.....No updates are available. I did a search of the Store and discovered that iHeartRadio had joined the previously deleted TuneIn Radio.
Come ON, Microsoft, stop deleting apps this far out from launch!!!! I don't dare crash my system since I won't be able to reinstall those apps. This is flipping JULY. Forcing us to wait three months to reacquire these apps is just ridiculous.
Despite the fact that metro was designed for Phones and tablets and how the login screen requires a click to work, basically despite Microsoft's flaws in the OS, don't you think that Microsoft was actually trying to make 'the tiles child-like and boring' because that is the whole point of the metro interface? Not that it's childlike and boring non-intuitive but simple and intuitive, for people who havnt had any experience with the normal desktop of Windows 7 and before, especially, because it's like a no-brainer. Maybe for some special IT People it will be annoying because they are used to a desktop, but that's why Microsoft was smart enough to still integrate the desktop into the UI. That basically covers Microsoft's backs.
OH MY GOD!!! Is the day of my Birthdaay!!!!!
Is the best gift of my life of part Microsoft.
Thanks Microsoft, Thaaaaaankssssssssss!!!!
Hi. I installed windows 8 on a 20 Gb drive (ripped out of an xbox 360 caddy) and installed it on a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop.
Just like to say how disappointing it is...the metro interface is just terrible and frankly stupid....on a laptop or desktop. I can see it being useful on a phone or a tablet, but it's not for a desktop...Why are the tiles so, um plain and one dimensional looking? They look really simple, and er, ugly. Similarly for the look of the programs like Internet exploder in full screen.....it looks....horrible...er, very child-like and amateurish. It is also very non-intuitive, why do you have to push your mouse all the way to the corner of a screen to get somewhere? Why do you not get a log in screen straight away? Why do i have to click to get to it?? Do you realise how much of a nightmare this is going to be for IT support over the phone?
In order to use windows 8, I had to download a 3rd party program called classic shell: classicshell.sourceforge.net
Fortunately, i was able to get a normal start menu, and it also dropped me straight into the desktop after logging in. I was also able to delete the metro tiles, so this made windows 8 bearable. However, i then opened the laptop in order to fit a bluetooth module to it. I booted up into windows 8 and it wasn't detected. I tried everything i could in device manager, detect new hardware wizard, etc. Nothing. I thought the module might be dead. So i pulled the 20Gb drive and fitted the 320Gb drive with Kubuntu Linux 11.04 on it. Logged on,and hey presto, Kbluetooth daemon was already running, and it took seconds to synch it to my Android phone and transfer a few files. Re-inserted the windows 8 drive, and still nothing. Nada. no bluetooth. Is bluetooth supported on windows 8?
Good luck with your release, but i think this is going to bomb pretty badly. I don't know anyone personally who likes the metro interface on a desktop/laptop. I think you've become so focussed (obsessed?) about phones and tablets you forgotten the desktop and laptop users. Oh Dear!!
amazing :) the upgrade offer is realy a good idea! goodbye xp, hello future :)
good luck with windows 8 :)
Too close to Halloween... good luck with that lol
I have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 8 preview , so on 26th oct will i be able to upgrade to windows 8 or not , and other thing is windows 8 don't support anti virus what should i do help !!!
I am a big Mac fan, have iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro, but also have PC desktop at home. I love Windows 8. Far and away best Windows yet.
I was wondering will the final release include a shutdown button that everyone can find easily?
hopeiy is good and working as well as others have in the past

Well Ill never forget the Day windows 8 Launched It was my Birthday it was also the first time in the history of my Own IT Career that I didnt upgrade within 5 days of launch Dont get me wrong Ill get a copy I just wont be installing it anytime soon
Hi,How much will windows 8 pro. costs?and Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro costs??

i like the Metro Interface but even if i wouldn't i would buy win8 because of that fantastic speed!
Well, well .. as always I am loyal to my brand...

- Then I am gonna get my first tablet ever as soon as WinRT tablets get out.
- Then I am gonna get my second smartphone ever after WP7 as soon as WP8 gets out.
- Also, we are expecting a major update for Xbox to make it compatible with Windows 8 desktop / laptop / phone / tablet with SmartGlass.. and please announce when are thou gonna announce the metro automobile based on augumented reality concepts ... 8-P
Thank you much to those working on and around Windows ecosystem...

You are going to love Windows 8 !
does windows 8 compatible for my acer aspire v3-471 core 15?
Can you help me?
Hey Steve! Can you make sure that the folks in Marketing give us the option to Pre-Order the Surface!? I need to get one for my mom, my 2 year-old, and a Surface Pro for myself! I want to showup on launch day with my new Surface Pro in hand!!
I think I'll need to swing by the Microsoft store that day and see if they have any promotions going on, or to try out the Surface... Currently I don't have plans to update to 8 unless I were to end up getting a Surface (either) or new computer.
Great News!!! I'll be hosting a MVP Open Day in Brazil for all Brazilian Microsoft MVPs at that same day and it will be exciting to have them all together and supporting this great Microsoft day!!!
When can we preorder windows 8
And as soon as it's released....we'll start to see people make up rumours about Windows 9!!!!!!!
It is nice to know the availability date for Windows 8. A few things keep me stayed away from Microsoft ever since I got my first Windows Phone a few weeks ago. My main concerns, does it support EAP-TTLS Authentication Protocol ? The marketplace and region issue is like a mess. I hope the staffs in Microsoft understand that WE PEOPLE WHO OWN WINDOWS MACHINES TRAVEL AROUND IN THE WORLD. Some may move to another country and stay there for a couple of years. Are you expecting people keep creating Windows Phone, Zune, Xbox marketplace account wherever they go ? =)
If I am on Windows XP Professional and want to upgrade to Windows 8, is that possible without first going to Windows 7?
Nice I can't wait, I'm marking it in my Bitrix24 intranet calendar, and adding the notice for all my employees to see.
Is windows 8 available in indian stores on 26oct?
Will I be able to keep a win xp pro drive and a win 8 pro drive on the same pc?
I am from the lovely Austria ... not Australia ... and I wanna ask also ... when will Windows 8 RTM be available for TechNet and MSDN Users. Thank you very much for any helpful answer.
Nice Greetings
Any idea when MSDN/TechNet subscribers will get the RTM?
That fits well into our timing of the 12th European Software Conference taking place in Munich on November 24 in the city where Microsoft Germany has its headquarter.
thanx that ll so good for us to use i hope all my colleges and friend have good and forever
I really hope that Microsoft have listened their customers and offer option to disable Metro on desktop/laptop use, if user want to.
I have used Windows since version 3 and Windows 8 will be first Windows in years that I'll pass if desktop users are forced to use Metro with Windows 8 RTM.
Again, not true. There is the System Builder version (see the link to the upgrade offer above), and as we haven't heard anything else about it, it could be different to previous OEM version, more like a Full version.
Yes!! Marked on my calendar to gift myself during my birthday month. Can't wait to get my hands on a Surface Windows 8 Pro with. Way to go Microsoft!!
@georgep001 , on Oct 26th, if they are going to give out licenses, then you may absolutely do what you want. Download a setup, keep the license key, wrap them and keep it safe for any further installations.
@dnationsr This is not true, OEM will exist in Windows 8, upgrade is just another way to have an original operating system
I am feeling well with windows 8 preview release. It is working good on my mini laptop which has already low resolution... And it is a very good OS for all Pc, other than tablet...
will buy it
Just don't disappoint us with any ill issue in it. Test it hundreds of times to ensure there is nothing lacking or disturbing.
I'm hopeful that you guys will be able to launch the most revolutionary take on Windows with the most revolutionary hardware PC design...simultaneously. Otherwise, where's the excitement in a 'delayed' Surface launch?
For those who say they can't wait. Get a copy of MSDN. New products are available for download immediately they are released. Often a lot earlier than they are available in stores.
how much will windows 8 costs id love to have a copy signed by ballmer mailed to me lol email me if you know anything about price or preordering etc at firstname.lastname@example.com or better yet just send me copy
@Brandon LeBlanc
Dude thanks for post, and tell Steven Sinofsky he's the MAN!
This announcement for the firm date on 8 is overwhelming – but we can hardly wait for the SURFACE.
I feel like a kid on Christmas morning... are better yet we all feel like this guy – www.youtube.com/watch
Thanks again Brandon.
Pretty cool. I hope it works better than it does now.
Shareholders beware! Sell before this launches!
When will Surface be out? I am excited, even if a little shafted by Windows Phone 7.5 not being upgraded...still, I'll settle for a Nokia WP8 in due course, after all the first gen bugs are dealt with. Still, though, Surface is the baby I want. i think! Exciting time. Show Apple what you still got!
I just want to ask When I install the windows 8 Realease Priveiw .... The instal Wizard told me that my CPU didn't match the requirements my Cpu in Dual - Core with 1.9 GHZ ............what that's .... I see the requirements and my cpu is match it
Oh my God my Patinet will empty to this datye and time
if i use windows xp 2000 can i up grand
@Reyes56 Yes Surface will be avaliable on the same date.
I'm running Windows7 ultimate. Won't Windows8 PRO be downgrading ?
Yes! I'm looking forward to upgrading. So, this means that the Surface will be available around the same date right?
Huurraaaayyyyy, such a sweet news and I hope all about Windows 8 (PCs, Tablets & Windows Phones) are all coming on that day....uunless I'm wrong here.
If I have Windows 8 Release Preview installed over the top of Windows 7 am I still eligible for the cheaper upgrade price to the full version of Windows 8?
I looking forward impatiently on October 26...
Everyone needs to remember.....the ONLY way you can install windows 8 is for upgrading..there will not be a OEM version.
Good to finally see a fixed date for the final (RTM) version. I hope that is a global availability date; i.e. will us Canadians get it as well?
when it comes to windows these products are awesome.........
when windows 7 was launched it was a great hit after windows XP
now by looking at the features of Windows 8 i believe this gonna be another hit by microsoft
Good Luck Windows 8
Is windows 8 available in stores on the 26th?
But when will the surface be available?!? Really though, is this date a surprise to anyone? Isn't that when all Windows releases are? That's like saying Call of Duty will release on the closest Tuesday to Veterans' Day every year.. :)
Hopefully is Windows 8 also immediately available in Belgium
How about surface :O, I WANT IT
Does that mean on October 26th well be able to go to a store and purchase a copy of windows 8 ? cause Id like to have a copy I can clean install anytime id like.

People Are Business
September 22, 2006 5:14 PM
The best and the worst moments of running a business stem from the people we hire and fire. One of the things I am most proud about is the personal environment we have created at our company. I have lost count of the number of people who have spontaneously walked into my office and told me that this is the best job they have ever had (from PAs to producers to accountants).
The only way to create that kind of environment is to be willing to fire people who will poison that environment – no matter how difficult it is. And, no matter how nice you try to be about it . . . that makes you the bad guy to some people – and is likely to make you some enemies. But, I am a firm believer that we are better judged by the people who do not like us, than by the people who do. And, this is one form of collateral damage that I believe is well worth the pain and suffering.

Download it now to read this article plus other related content.
Security breaches can also translate into legal liabilities. Privacy notification laws, beginning with California's SB 1386, have been enacted by 39 states. Those who know California's law might mistakenly believe that encryption provides indemnification from these customer notification regulations. While this may be the case in California, subsequent laws in other states have no such exemptions.
This confusion, combined with the complexities associated with key management, means some firms choose to avoid encryption. Retaining tapes on company property and eliminating the physical relocation of tapes in favor of electronic vaulting and replication have become attractive options. But depending on the amount of data at hand, that route is often cost prohibitive. Expect advances in technologies like deduplication to make this option more feasible.
Scalability: How predictable is your data growth? Backup software and tape encryption solutions typically offer a smoother growth curve, while appliances follow more of a step function.
Key management needs: From a security best practices perspective, key management should be an independent entity from backup. But due to complexity and organizational limitations, backup admins often become de facto key managers,
| and there are many cases where one key is in place for all backup. Assuming those organizational policies mature sometime in the future, does your new solution have key management capabilities to accommodate them?
Economic drivers: Organizations typically upgrade tape drives on a three- to five-year cycle, but tape library cycles usually stretch from five to seven years or longer. Unless you're at the right point in your technology depreciation and refresh cycle, tape drive encryption may not be feasible.
Operational integration and management: All encryption options have some operational impact, but the specifics vary. Tape drive encryption, for example, is simple from a physical integration perspective, but its success depends on some degree of backup software support (from basic hardware support to full key management control). Appliances are often transparent to the backup app, but require their own operational procedures to be integrated with the rest of the infrastructure. In all circumstances, the impact on disaster recovery and archiving practices, and the challenges of managing encrypted and unencrypted tapes, must be addressed.

Working with the ArtVision Exhibitions, an exhibition and marketing company based in Florida, UTPA curated the exhibit using Tretick's archives and the Watergate Papers of Woodward and Bernstein, housed in The Harry Ransom Center at The University of Texas at Austin. Woodward and Bernstein authored "All the President's Men," a best-selling book later made into a film, which chronicled their challenges in covering the scandal that led to a U.S. constitutional crisis and the eventual resignation of President Richard Nixon in 1974.
|Shown recently touring the "Surrendering the White House: Documenting Watergate" exhibit that will open Feb. 2 at The University of Texas-Pan American Visitors Center are (from left to right) University of Texas System Board of Regents member Colleen McHugh from Corpus Christi; UTPA President Dr. Blandina Cárdenas; and Texas State Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa (TX-20). Their guide (right) is Jesse Montoya, a junior majoring in broadcast journalism and employee in the Office of Admissions and New Student Services. The exhibition, which appears in its first venue at UTPA, will run through April 28. It is free and open to the public.
"The Watergate experience was a victory for this country – our constitutional form of government survived. That is the message that I would like for students to understand – not that Mr. Nixon was a bad person but that we have a constitution that is a wonderfully crafted document. If there is a free press and they do their work with integrity, if we have a Congress that does its work with integrity and a Judiciary that does its work with integrity, abuses of power that might occur will not go unfettered," she said.
Tretick, who was trained as a photographer by the Marine Corps and served in the Pacific during World War II, worked for United Press (later United Press International) in the 1950s. He provided battlefield coverage of the Korean War as well as covered Capitol Hill and presidential campaigns. He left UPI to cover John F. Kennedy and the Kennedy family for Look magazine in 1960 and remained at Look until it folded in the 1970s. Tretick's coverage of the Kennedy family, including the famed photograph of John Kennedy Jr. as a toddler peering out from a door in front of his father's presidential desk published just a short time before Kennedy's assassination, was among his most well-known photographs.
Before his death in 1999, Tretick became a founding photographer for People magazine and also did still photography for more than 30 movies. Photos taken by Tretick for the books "A Portrait of All the President's Men," (the story behind the film) and "They Could Not Trust the King: Nixon, Watergate and the American People" are part of the exhibition.
UTPA will be the first venue for this newly created exhibit. After its stay at the UTPA, "Surrendering the White House: Documenting Watergate," will be available for travel as part of the ArtVision Exhibitions collection.
The exhibition's opening coincides with an appearance Feb. 13 of Woodward as the second featured speaker on campus as part of the 2005-2006 Distinguished Speakers Series. Woodward, who is an assistant managing editor at the Washington Post and went on to write nine No. 1 best-selling non-fiction books, will speak on reporting in politics and government ethics. The free event, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Auditorium, will open its doors to UTPA students, faculty and staff at 7 p.m. and the general public beginning at 7:20 p.m.
The Watergate exhibit will also be open to the public free of charge. The Visitors Center hours are Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m.-7 p.m., Friday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m.-2 p.m. For tours, call 956/292-7338.
