Ease of Use
If you've been trying out the Windows 8.1 Preview, released in June, you'll find the interface and features effectively identical in this final release. The only surprise is that, contrary to earlier announcements, you can upgrade directly from the Preview to the final code – although you'll need a Windows 8 product key to activate the installation.
For those who've stuck with Windows 8 thus far, the update brings significant changes. The first one you'll notice is an updated Start screen, which now shares your desktop wallpaper. It also supports smaller tiles, to let you arrange more apps onto your Start screen – and larger ones, which can convey twice as much live information as before. On smaller screens, you can also activate a "show more tiles" option that shrinks the grid so you can see more tiles at once.
All of this gives you more scope than before to set up your Start screen however you like it, and since apps are no longer installed here by default, it stays organised. To access the all-encompassing Apps menu, simply swipe upwards or click the down-arrow icon. If you prefer, you can also set Windows 8.1 to take you automatically to the Apps screen when you hit the Windows key: in this case you simply swipe down to get to the main Start view.
Windows 8.1 comes with an updated selection of tablet apps – see below – and multitasking works better, too. In Windows 8, split-screen mode supported only an off-kilter 80:20 layout, but you can now drag the divider to achieve a 50:50 balance, or anything between the two. On larger displays it's possible to divide the display into three or four segments.
A final bonus is the revamped Search interface. Rather than taking over the full screen, Search now occupies a much less intrusive panel at the right-hand side. If you invoke it via the Search charm menu, it slides in as an overlay on top of your active view, rather than sending you back to the Start screen. Even better, when you type, you now get results from "everywhere" – no more pedantic switching back and forth between Apps, Settings and Files. By default, online search content from Bing is filtered in too, below local results; and if you click on the Search icon you're taken to an encyclopedia-style results page that automatically brings together relevant text, graphics and links from around the web.
Best Prices
I prefer the previous Search results layout. I usually know that I want settings when I do a search, so having just the settings displayed in a category to itself saves time.
That said, I was totally perplexed when I first used Search to get at Deinstall Programs, it only listed one result, a deinstaller for a specific application, with a web search as the alternative. I thought it was broken, but it was still busy in the background making the inital index...
Since then it is certainly useful, but I miss the categories.
What I really want to turn off is that darned white Windows flag in the left corner of the taskbar! I have a physical Windows button on the casing of the tablet, I have a Windows key on the keyboard and if I open the Charms, there is another one there. Why do I need it permanently displayed on the taskbar?

I'm quite an undemanding user...
...of Windows these days. I only bought 8 for 2 reasons. First because it was offered for £24.99 which makes it worth a punt and second because i wanted to triple boot my PC with my existing Vista 32bit/Win7 64 bit.It's a strange transition from previous Windows offerings and you'd probably get more out of it on a tablet or touchscreen (of which i have neither). But it does boot up/shut down fast and i am trying to make use of a lot of it's features. I have to say though that i wouldn't pay full price for it as for the average desktop user Win 7 is perfectly ok.

Not sure of the point....
I upgraded to 8.1 as soon as it was released. I now wish I hadn't as it doesn't seem to offer me anything (I don't use Modern UI) and has broken several things.
After the install, during which I chose to keep my programs and settings, the following happened:
1. My antivirus product was uninstalled because it was incompatible. That would have been OK provided I had been told about it - of course I was not.
2. My desktop visualisation product was broken - its network bridging driver was removed with no notice and a reinstall was the only way to fix it.
3. I have had to hack the registry to stop the plethora of annoying popup tips telling where on the screen I should be clicking - it is poor that MS do not make switching off this kind of thing easy.
I have yet to discover a single change in 8.1 that is of benefit to me - hopefully there is some good stuff going on under the covers that I am not aware of. If not, this "upgrade" is a waste of time - less of a version upgrade and more a collection of bug fixes....

SkyDrive Save By Default
I'm alarmed by the line about saving to Skydrive by default which "makes sense, because Windows 8 is designed to be used with space-limited mobile hardware."
So is this a tablet OS, or a PC one?
I'm looking to replace my desktop PC (with another desktop PC - I'm so retro).
Where is the OS for desktops?

disaster upgrading to 8.1 on my asus s200e
piece of cake to upgrade new netbook to 8.1...NOT.
after done uploading and i presume installing, my netbook is trash and only after due diligence searching on the www was i able to find a way to boot into safe mode through the run command...
two lengthy chats sessions w/asus technicians and accomplishing numerous 'try this' situations, it was decided my brand new toy needed to have the hdd reloaded.
back to safe mode to delete passwords per asus' guidance which meant setting up a dummy adm account and deleting my existing accounts on the netbook.
none of my third party pgms survived the 8.1 upgrade, malwarebytes, auslogic, office 365, nothing was there on the hdd under pgm directory...
including the OS 8 restore pgms...so the hdd couldn't be reimaged from the 'hidden' OEM partition...
it is now wing'g across the US to be looked at in California and then with a little luck reshipped back to me.
truly a horrific experience and no power on God's green earth am i dl'g 8.1 upgrade in the future!!

Desktop Skydrive doesn't work with 8.1
On installing 8.1 I also had my anti virus blocked despite no warning that it would be incompatible by the upgrade advisor.
A bigger problem was to find that the Desktop version of Skydrive no longer works and if I wanted to use the app version I would have to sign into to my computer using a microsoft ID instead of my usual login. Not going to happen.
Removed all files from skydrive and then removed skydrive from my win7 laptops and moved the files to another service.
Files can now be accessed by all machines with not an MS ID in sight

Found Windows 8.1 To Be Slightly Unstable
I upgraded to windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion G6 a few days ago and at first I thought excellent this is better then Windows 8 but that did not last long, firstly Internet explorer I found runs slow and tends to freeze at times and runs slower then it did last time,Plus it takes time to sort out documents on it. Then I have had where my whole Laptop becomes unresponsive with a total windows crash and Iv had to fully reset my lap top. Also another thing I hate Is that with 8.1 they have removed the shortcut to internet explorer of your desktop and you have to use the stupid app on the main start screen which is dreadful and I hate the look of the explorer like that, I had to pin the short cut to my task bar as you can not recreate the short cut to your desk top anymore. All in All I should of stayed on version 8 and left 8.1 alone, iv found it to be a poor update no wonder Microsoft made it free. May be some one should look at the bugs it has before launching it to the world.

Anit virus and dns problems 8.1 uprade
I found that my Comodo anti virus needed reinstalling (wish I had of been told)and here in Australia my isp Telstra uses the Technicolor ADSL modems and the 10.x software causes a race/timing issue with 8.1 so I had to set the dns on the adaptor manually.
Technicolor are working on a fix and are talking to Microsoft so hopefully it wont take to long.
Other than that 8.1 is working ok touch wood.

W8.1 messed up trackpad, Power Shell & User IDs
Most trackpad functions vanished when I upgraded my Dell XPS13 - leaving only pointer movement and left-click. W8.1 insisted that it had installed the latest driver, but I had to get the correct one from Dell's website.
You are right about Power Shell: I re-installed it straight away.
I hated the idea of using a Microsoft Identity as a log-in to the computer! To reduce vulnerability to viruses, etc.,I have one admin user (hardly ever used) and one limited user (for everyday use). I upgraded as Admin - who automatically became the Mircrosoft ID User, but then it would not let me use the same ID with my limited user. Worse, my log-in screen now reveals my e-mail address before anybody logs-in.
What happens when the coerced use of Sky Drive reaches 7 GB? I expect that one is asked to pay for renting more space.
W8 and W8.1 forces the user to adopt too many new ways of doing things, but none is better than W7's interface and all are confusing.

Keyboard Layout Changes
When I upgraded I could not log in to my account - the keyboard layout had reverted to English US! Clicking on the ENG tab in the right bottom corner resolved my fear that I could not log in. If you use characters in your password, be aware. I believe that if you use a Microsoft account as log in, you won't notice, as the log-in can't use characters.

Nothing new
As a desktop user I have found absolutely nothing new. The main issue I've had with the upgrade is finding workarounds for the things Microsoft have decided I'm not allowed to do any more.

Better than windows 3.1
Ok I have used every version of Windows since 3.1 except ME and 2000.
Everyone said I will hate 8.1, just bought a new Laptop and gave the old Win 7 one to my son, looooove 8.1, NO problems, I also liked XP and Vista and 7, though Vista was the worst of the 3.
I don't like the childlike start screen that looks like it is aimed at teenagers, I prefer a desktop, but I can live with it for a while.
NO problems installing any of my photo software (I am a photographer, Elements, Sony and Pinnacle software installed problem free.
I would say 8.1 is fine

OMG I have been trying to help Mom some tips and tricks on the new laptop with WIndows 8.
Well, lets just say it is a VALID reminder as to why I have walked away from windows and have fully embraced the world of APPLE!!!
Windows seems to continue to create more and more complicated OS's that for those who are very tech savy may be fine, but someone like mom who just uses the internet and email is more scared and less likely to use the computer.
again where I know I will continue to go for my own computer needs and wants, 1-800-my-apple or www.apple.com
By ProudofMAC on 28 Oct 2013
Totally unhelpful support
As with many other readers I also had an absolute nightmare attempting to upgrade to 8.1 and found the Windows support team totally unhelpful and rude - think my best option it to go back to 7! Think the money I paid to upgrade to 8 will be the last I spend with Microsoft!

This is awesome, reminds me a lot of kid's books with castle cut outs (and adult's beech as well ).
Awesome map. My only suggestion is to change the ballistas and trebuchet positions on the 5th and 6th floors. Ballistas are direct fire weapons. Trebuchets are indirect fire weapons requiring a lot of overhead for tossing the missile into the air. Unless your ceilings are over 10m in height ...

This is awesome, reminds me a lot of kid's books with castle cut outs (and adult's beech as well ).
I think the trebuchet on the 5th floor would be positioned on the open section between the two towers.
It took me about half the time I put into the gatehouse. I can hardly believe it's only been about a month since I posted this.

Feb. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Koor Industries Ltd. surged to the highest level in more than six months after Discount Investment Corp. sought to buy the stake it doesn't already own in the Tel Aviv-based holding company.
Koor shares surged 4.7 percent to 54.88 shekels, the highest intraday level since Aug. 2, at 1:24 p.m. in Tel Aviv. The shares have risen 15 percent since the joint announcement yesterday. Discount Investment owns 63 percent of Koor, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Israeli billionaire Nochi Dankner holds a stake in Discount Investment via his holdings in IDB Holding Corp. Dankner may be required to simplify the organization of his investments as the government reassess the "pyramid" structure of holding companies, said Raz Mor, an analyst at DS Securities & Investments in Tel Aviv.
"By merging with Koor, Dankner is eliminating a step in the holding pyramid," Mor said.
A government appointed committee asked business groups with a "pyramid" structure to meet with its members to answer questions. The panel, which is seeking to find ways to boost competition, is set to release its findings in the next few days, the Finance Ministry said on Feb. 12.
Discount Investment slipped 1.1 percent to 24.57 shekels. IDB Holding, which owns stakes in both companies via its IDB Development Corp. subsidiary, dropped 1.4 percent to 42.50 shekels.

She just got a new 42-inch flat screen TV.
And she has DirecTV, which is a luxury for me, since I do not at my apartment.
And the Bills are actually winning, 26-14.
But I can't watch the game.
Do you know why?
Because none of you fuckers bought tickets, and it's blacked out locally.
So instead, I'm watching Devils/Caps hockey reruns on MSG and following the score ticker on the bottom of the screen.
Y'all are assholes for this.
Merry Christmas!

Project Description:
I am not a traditional mother, I am step mom to two beautiful children but feel that they are mine, so I am not one to wear traditional Mother's jewelry. Recently the planets aligned and we were able to get all the kids and grand kids, two of which were returning from being out of the country, together for family photos for my Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary! What a perfect medium for my Mother's jewelry, I made a pendant out of one just for me! It was so easy using a
bezel finding and the cab that fit
! I added three strands of
beaded chain
and made something that is just my style! What a great gift idea for all those mother's in our lives including yourself!

Okay so I cheated and had Anthon, our photographer shrink my photo down. He scanned it and worked his magic in Photoshop. But for those who don't have that, you can do it yourself probably in your photo editor or go to one of those photo kiosks and get it done. Just use the cab for your bezel to get the correct size. The one I used he crop the photo to a 1x1".
Once you have your photo cropped and cut out, trim it to fit the cab.
Brush some Nunn Design Glue on the cab and place the picture on it photo side against the cab, rubbing out any bubbles as seen through the other side.
The glue will dry clear and I didn't even wait for it to dry before I added glue to the bezel and then the cab with the picture on it.
Measure a 4mm beaded chain length about 18 1/2 to 19" making sure you have an even amount of beads, fold in have to see, because we want the pendant to sit in the middle junction of the center beads.
The second strand I used 20" of the 8mm beaded chain, again making sure I had an even amount of beads.
The third and final strand I used 21" of the 6mm beaded chain, checking for an even amount of beads.
The incremental lengths allow the necklace to hang with a nice drape, if you would like a different drape I suggest laying it out on a bead board as I did for this design.
Add an open jump ring to the pendant.
Find the center junction of each beaded chain length and slip the pendant into the jump ring and close.
Attach one end of the each of the beaded chains in this order to an open jump ring; 4mm beaded chain, 8mm beaded chain, 6mm beaded chain and then add the large trigger clasp.
Attach the free ends of the beaded chains in the same order as above to the closed jump ring, this will act as the loop the trigger clasp will hook into.

What a great idea!
This will have to be one of my next projects. I have never changed the size of any photographs, so, I will have to learn to do that first. Thanks for sharing this idea Karla.

christ there is some muppets on here
eddy998 stick to your shed ducati mate you are clearly from fraggle rock
blades are boring bullshit
how can any modern 1000 superbike be boring are you a moron fella
while the muppets will all be falling over themselves to look at the 1199 at the nec, this will be another in a long list of shit over priced road bikes
meanwhile mr honda has been quietly improving probarly the best 1000 superbike of the generation
dont get me wrong never really liked any of the fireblade models but that 08 new model with the help of hrc is pure genius, you cant really fault it as a road bike it awesome and certainly not boring
this bike is all about showa work on the suspention, better wheels, 9bhp more bet you did not know that, this blade is a brillant bike for the masses if you want a bike for the road and a few track days thats fast ,agile, useable power, good mid range, and power all the way to 180+ with great styling, best fuel consumption in class what more can we ask for
let the muppets keep there ducatis or over hyped bimers, turn the bimers traction control off see how well it handles, yes a bag of s++t
the blade is the thinking mans bike, you know the ones that enjoy the riding not the knobs bimbling to the cafe
drinking tea all day and disussing how much power they got whilst gazzing at their gold ohlins
i say well done mr honda in a time when the world seems a desperate place you keep producing the goods to give us the tools for a good great ride which makes going to the pit of despair every monday morning worth
look forward to a test ride

well done gixer carl for telling it like it is , you misguided people have obviously never used a new blade in anger , -, , it is NEVER out of control , only thing to defo come past it [ on a straght ] is the new s1000rr , finish and build quality typical honda , say no more , , , other guy wants a everyday rider to test it ,- ha ha , how exactly are u meant to properly use a blade on the commute then , my advice is this , ducati man , commuter man and boring man , take it to the nurburgring nordschliefe, and rev it hard as you dare , the blade WILL laugh at your best effort, , and youll never find its limits - thats blade territory , not thebimble to the cafe with your replica troy bayliss leathers on and not your commuter run either ,, leave the blades to real riders who appreciate real roads .

"it is NEVER out of control"
Exactly, I never for one second said it was a rubbish bike, far from it, they are great bikes, I just can't explain how I feel about blades. They could certainly out ride my ZZR1400.
As for never riding one in anger, give me an original one, go back 19 years, and I'd probably ride round the outside of your present day Suzukis and Yams, smoking a cigarette, whilst reading a playboy mag! :):)
And just for the record, I live just down the road from willingham woods, and nine out of ten blades that pull up at the chippie, are ridden by older men, with greying hair, just an observation like! lol!
As for the nurburgring, when exactly am I going to be riding round there? On the commute, on a tour just riding round hoping to find a campsite? What exactly is the point of a race rep if you aren't on a race track? You spend the money on a bike that is meant for a track, I'll spend mine on something comfy and designed for roads thanks. So if I want to ride round the nurburgring, I'll buy a blade (or not), or an R1, or a GSXR1000, or a ZX10R
Real riders? What? the ones who only ride at the weekend to show off how much money they can waste on the latest race rep with rediculous matching leathers, gloves, boots and helmet? No sir, real riders buy bikes that are comfy, and built for distances. I didn't see Ewan Mcgregor or Charlie Boorman riding a blade on thier epic trips, enough said, buy a bike for what you need it for, not just for posing, unless you own a Harley.
And anyway, I don't like blades, you won't like my ZZR1400, if we all liked the same thing, the world would be one heck of a boring place to be, no need to get your thongs in a twist just because I have a different opinion and likes.
Ride well and safe guys and girls, what ever you ride.

Couldn't have put it any better myself. Having done over 140,000 miles on 4 Fireblades over 15 years i would say Honda's fit/finish and build quality coupled with balanced power and handling shines through from 1992 to present day. And long may it contiue.!!
right , i seem to remember a gent going ROUND THE WORLD on a bmw trailthingy -no wait a minut - it was AN R1, a willingham woods pose mobile ,, and youve never obviously been to the ring - ooooooooooooo mummy wont let you go eh or you would know what i meant , take it to a track , and just open it up , then youll see why the blades design and engineering excellence and rider control is there in abundance [ by the way the roads around the eiffles are great for yout r touring as well ], the zzr 1400 is built for what 0 a fast toure , no as its comprehensively out toured by the bmw panzer trail wagon , sports -no as its comprehensively out gunned / cornered by blades etc , eats tryes etc - ah yes - its for straight line merchants . --------- yes lets all put our rose tinted glasses on and when your out riding and reading your playboy ill be wheeling past you on my kawasaki 500 triple -------------------------- vortex wobbler your the kind of tree huggin rider that gets in the way of guys like me and gixxer carl when were out enjoying our bikes , stop bleating on about speed , and hang your moped keys up - oooooooo too dangerous bah blah , bikes are supposed to be fun right , and i would never give an opinion on a bike i havent ridden

Its not on calling Ducati owners Muppets, why would you call Ducati owners muppets?? I, like gixercarl have owned them all - zxr 750K1 - 916 BIP(bought new) - 999s (bought new) and now a big bang R1 (bought new). I buy bikes to last and totally understand why guys buy Ducati's. They are the most exclusive bike that one could wish to own, the Ferrari / Porsche of production motorcycles, NO IFFS or BUTTS. I'm not saying that gixercarl could not afford, one but if he was quite wealthy i am sure that he would consider one allong side his Jap. I' not interested in knee sliders or leather suits and oftern go out for a modest blast to take my mind of the day job in a pair of Sidi's and jeans. I'm not slow and not the fastest so guess a R6 would do me all day long but i like the power of the 1000. I can aford the 1199 and might buy one BECAUSE I CAN, does that make me a Muppet, NO because i'm not a muppet, far from. I keep my bikes in my large dinning room like a piece of art on its padock stand and when i look at it, it makes all the hard work i do seem worth while. I would certainly like to look at the Art from Italy than the art from Japan and i'm not knocking the Jap bikes at all. We all buy bike's for different reasons. The 1199 looks a cracking bike and buyers won't give a toss about any Jap bike being faster etc, they just have trust in the Ducati product and the overall pleasure it will give them.

Honda look to have done it again the Blade does not do one thing exceptionally but just does everything brilliantly and so easy to live with whether it is on track or on the road . This seems to be the ethos at Honda and it works so why not continue . We all loved the first Blade and nearly everyone loved all the variations in between and this will be no different can't wait to ride it .

Elliot and J.D. are hanging out again, Janitor has returned to get his job back, and Kelso is still sitting in the cafeteria eating free muffins. Dr. Cox reveals his distrust of all surgeons, and constantly belittles Turk… even in front of his patients.
J.D., Elliot, and Dr. Cox are fed up with Sacred Heart's new chief of medicine, Dr. Maddox, whose tyrannical nature makes it impossible for them to provide genuine care for their patients. Dr. Cox leads the others against Maddox and an unlikely alliance is made to oust this common enemy. The Good Doctor This episode begins with a bearded J.D. complaining about how the new chief of medicine, Dr. Maddox, goes around policing everyone. Clips reveal that it is impossible for J.D. to perform any procedure on his patients without Maddox barking orders over his shoulder. J.D.'s complaints are interrupted by Dr. Cox, who never misses an opportunity, such as this one, to tell J.D. that he is better than him. Dr. Cox, according to himself, still manages to bend the rules without Maddox' knowledge, and can therefore provide better care for his patients. "I am a much, much better doctor than you," he tells J.D. Speak of the Devil
Scrubs focuses on the lives of several people working at Sacred Heart, a teaching hospital. It features fast-paced dialogue, slapstick, and surreal vignettes presented mostly as the daydreams of the central character, Dr. John Michael "J.D." Dorian. The name is a play on surgical scrubs and "scrubs" as slang for the new and inexperienced.Airs: Tuesday, 9/8cStation: ABC

Welcome to Earth. Please ignore the radiation. Please ignore the fact that you are standing amongst the ruins of a great civilization. Please ignore the fact that getting to Earth was your goal since the fleet was cobbled together in the wake of the Cylon sneak attack. Please ignore the fact that Earth was a made-up lie by one William Adama just to give you some kind of hope until, suddenly, it wasn't a lie any more. Welcome to Earth, the legendary Thirteenth Colony. How was your journey?
Tonight we have another full hour of new Scrubs on its new network, the most enjoyable aspect of Amerian Idol (the tryouts) and some Will Smith in I, Robot. Here's your daily digest of what's worth watching.
Agent Walker is pissed that she got played Bauer, and promises Larry Moss that she'll find him and bring him in. Tanner, the sniper, is about to wake, and will be interrogated for more answers. President Taylor gets on the phone with Larry Moss, and she's not happy that they let Bauer and Almeida out. But theres still a decision to be made about whether or not to pull out of Sangala.Bill leas Tony and Bauer into the CTU batcave. There's some explaining to do. Tony was injected by Emerson with a compound that kills you, but makes you able to recusitate. He was employed Emerson because of grievance aginst the U.S. gov't. And now he has to be put back undercover to investigate the 'pervasive' corruption thats exists. The team is back together, and Bauer insists they are his only trusted friends. Tony calls up Emerson, and they agree to meet up with him and Bauer.Back to the white house. Henry convinces his unwilling Secret Service agent to secretly drive him to the meeting with Samantha.Sean gets a phone call from his wife who's on the airplane. She's worried as hell and it makes Sean even more on edge.
The 3rd hour begins with Ike Dubaku sending a personal threat to the President Taylor. He threatens Madame President with thousands of innocent lives, while he wants the President to hold back on invading his country.Meanwhile, an angry Larry Moss, Renee Walker and an aviator clad Bauer take Almeida into custody, and agree there's a traitor amongst them. "From now on, keep me in the loop!" a jealous Moss proclaims. Janeane G. awkwardly asks to lift up Almeida's shirt while she affixes nodes to his chest to prepare for the interrogation. A stone-faced Almeida looks ready for anything Bauer brings at him.Back with Dubaku and Emerson in their high-tech hideout. Ike is getting antsy to stretch his terroist muscles against the Americans, for the invasion is still on.
The 24 premier-a-thon continues with 2 more hours of Jack Bauer tonight. The people over at FOX have also started a Terminator:TSCC blog that will be releasing weekly video podcasts about production of the show (and tons of other nerdy crap for us to chew on before the show premieres Feb 13th). Man vs. Wild premieres tonight, or poop your pants to a screening of the The Shining. 24 2 Hours starting 8/7c on FOX Jack Bauer (24) kills a terrorist vampire style on – Watch more Movie Trailer
After Schechter was blown awa, Bauer gets his gun taken away by Renee before he can organize a team to take down the sniper in the Columbia Building. Meanwhile, Tony gets on the phone with the head of Air Traffic Control. Almeida asks him to watch the runways at JFK as he coordinates two planes to land on a collision course with eachother. As they are about to ram into eachother, Tony tells the pilot in GSA 117 to pull up. "This was only a warning shot," he says. Close call.A sleek man in sunglasses named Emerson exits his car with an entourage to enter Tony's hideout, a boat! Tony shows him the module for controlling airplanes, and lets him take away Latham. He asks Emerson what the hell is going on, but Emerson leaves him the dark, saying that he doesn't need any more information than necessary, yet he assures him that after it's done, they won't ever need to worry about money again. Oh yeah, and they both agree that having Bauer on their ass isn't good.
Finally, after seemingly 24 years of not having a new Episode of 24, Jack Bauer is back in action saving the the world from emminent destruction one day at a time.The episode begins with a father and daughter in a car heading towards school in Washington D.C. After a bit of squabbling about cell phone texting, the father gets a cell phone call with no one on the other end. Then, as he drives through an intersection, a black mini-van t-bones the car, leaving Mr. Latham and his daughter shaken, but not seriously injured. 5 seconds later, another black van crashes into the back of the car, propelling it up and over another car. Masked men with assualt rifles cut Mr. Latham's seat belt and drag them into their van, and speed away from the scene. "I've got money" Latham wimpers, with a masked man retorting "we don't want your money, we want you to do something for us."
24 is an action drama set in real time over the spand of a day. The show stars Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, a Counter Terrorist Unit agent who knows how to kick ass.Network: FOXAirs: Mondays 9/8c
(Kevin Connolly is 2.5ft tall) Awards shows are pointless. They are for gay dudes, lonely women, and people who work in the entertainment business. The Golden Globes last night showed just how utterly predictable most of them can be. Do you really need to have a panel of judges tell you that Heath Ledger deserved to win for The Dark Knight? No. You saw the movie and made your own decision, and it wasn't hard. But for some reason I still get a surge of pride when my predictions come true. It's basically like a long, drawn out game of Jeopardy. With that said, here's the breakdown from last nights Globes, and a few pictures of hot women.
Two Heisman trophy winners and two of the top most skull-crushingest teams, but only one National Champ. It's FOOTBALL night on the TV, with one little hitch. You have the choice of take advantage of Thirsty Thursday and catching the game at a bar OR staying home and piling two TV's on top of each other so you can watch the game AND the return of 30 Rock. Tonight's episode features uber-babe Salma Hayek as a guest in a nurse uniform. At least that's what the official NBC synopsis has lead our boners to believe. Decisions decisions gents.

It was a weird holiday season. If you have not been glued to the internet, rest assured that you have not missed much, other than a little lawsuit, some new trailers, and this picture from the cover of a 1976 edition of Sesame Street Magazine. Here is a wrap-up of some of what has happened while a lot of you were on extended vacation. Have a good friday, enjoy the weekend, and get ready to f'ing work your tits off come monday. We have an economy to fix, bro.
Diablo Cody's first foray into the world of TV is set to debut in three weeks. But Showtime has it on their website for free HERE. The VIP password is "Tara." Early reports suggest that the girl that plays Kate is super hot, so I did a little research. And to be honest, I think she is good looking but HOT might be a little bit of a stretch. You decide. Pictures after the jump.
Thursdays are usually a big night for the TV. But what with the holidays and all, the nets are going with some tried and trusted content while shows take a break. And by tried and trusted I am referring to Total Recall. We also recommend Paul F. Thompkins on Conan (according to his Twitter feed the shoot went well). All that and more in tonight's TV lineup.
We're a TV site, but we don't really cover network news. There are just too many opportunities to skewer the constant flow of absurdity– the unending waterfalls of crap would just distract us from the other duties of Screenjunkies. But I just could not resist this amazing front page story that showed up on CNN this morning: Really? There's no good way to tell a kid they have cancer? I'd imagine there are some ways that are worse than others, such as: – Billy, you have cancer, and it's because you masturbate too much. – Billy, you have cancer and that's why mommy and daddy are getting a divorce. – Billy, you have cancer. Also, there is no Santa Claus. – Billy, isn't this roller coaster fun? Well enjoy it now because in three months you'll be so weak from 3 rounds of chemo you wont be able to lift an X-Box controller. As always CNN, thanks for the hard hitting news. Now lets all watch this video. Wait till they spray the associate producer with cologne. Listen for his name.
Sylar traps Claire, Noah, Meredith and Angela inside Primatech and Level 5 apparently to just play Jigsaw with them, some more sibling rivalry ensues as Peter and Nathan clash on their views of how the powers should be handled, and Ando's new power helps Daphne, Hiro, and Matt continue their quest to find and destroy the formula. Here's our recap of last night's Heroes.
I have to admit I had high expectations coming into the mid-season finale. Every week there's a bomb explosion, gun fire and robot to robot combat, so what could they possibly do this week to make it stand out and leave me in anticipation for the hiatus to be over.
Edward sees hope as he realizes he may have found a way to make Henry quit popping up at inconvenient times during missions, Raymond's life gets Tom in trouble with his wife (again), and a terrorist has stolen a nuclear warhead and is intending to use it in a school. Peep our recap of My Own Worst Enemy.
Phyllis shows a devilish side of herself we haven't seen before – she's holding her knowledge of Dwight and Angela's torrid affair over the former party planning committee's head in order to boss her around and plan her own parties, while Meredith's hair catches on fire in the conference room and Dwight runs a lucrative black market from his desk on the hot toy of the season.
How many empty warehouses are there in California? Bllions apparently. It amazes me how Sarah always seems to find one. Is there some sort of fan forum message board that has a directory? It boggles my mind. Here's your recappage, Junkie.
OK, so I type in some stuff, and then I type in some more stuff, and then I add a page break.
Angie and Henry start to talk about having another kid (and, I suppose by inference, Edward does too), but neither half of the personality is too excited about the idea. Edward and Raymond must also capture a corrupt military leader from the Congo and deliver him to justice at the International Court in the Hague, but they discover a hostage in the process, who claims to once have worked for Edward's company.
Heroes is heating up! In this episode Claire follows her baby self around, intent on keeping the catalyst from being delivered to her own body, Sylar goes power-hungry and embarks on another killing spree, Nathan starts to work with Pinehearst on building an army for the coming war, and Hiro gets to talk to his mom and find out deeper secrets concerning the catalyst. Read more for full coverage.
Oscar discovers a $4300 surplus in the budget and Michael must decide between a new copier and new chairs for the entire office. Of course, he can't make any decisions by himself, so it takes all day. Meanwhile, Jim and Pam have a little bit of a fun tiff over the copier/chair debate, and Angela, Andy, and Dwight tour Schrute farms in preparation for the wedding.
I should have known that a bank robbery on Fringe would never be as simple as guns and a get away car. A team of men with Loeb (the FBI mole who was introduced" In Which We Meet Mr. Jones") as the leader, are attired in rubber suits and carry enough equipment with them to fill a small room, break into the Philadelphia Mutual Savings Bank.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This county is ranked 83rd out of all the TN counties. This school, just like every other school in this county, puts the emphasis on sports and not education. There is a "good ole boy" system at this school, for sure. Most of the teachers act as immature as the children. Parents are not encouraged to be involved at all unless you "know someone" or are "kin" to someone at the school. Many parents look forward to helping out at their childs elementary school. This school does its best to keep everyone away. Its really sad. The academics are a joke. The children of this school are not prepared to move over to the middle school. The children of the county are not prepared for college and many struggle only to drop out. While there are a handful of success stories, a school of several hundred should not produce only a handful of successful adults. The teachers seems to use the "here's a worksheet, figure it out for yourself" method. Several teachers will offer to "tutor" your child after school at your expense, of course. If you can't do your job during the day, I'm not going to pay you to continue to not do your job. If you can afford private school. That is the way to go for sure!
Where do I begin? I have never in my life dealt with a more exhausting school. These teachers gossip to each other constantly about parents and children. Everything is the parents fault. If you are involved with your child you will be called unreasonable and overbearing. I have had these teachers ask my child inappropriate questions about his family and when I confront them, they lie always. If you cause too much trouble your child will get extra homework. Trust me! The vice principal tries to help. Everyone says all the right things, so you will leave but they don't actually do anything they promise. Academics are a joke. This county is so far behind the surrounding counties it absurd. The teachers let the computers do the teaching. It is so sad. Our children will not be returning.
There was another post asking about parent involvement and integration of students with like abilities... this is non-existent. I had requested to come into class to observe my daughter and was denied on several occasions. There are no gifted groups, the kids are all together and expected to sink or swim. This is not a good school for a child with attention problems or learning difficulties. Be prepared to be very involved after school if you wish for your children to succeed. Bullies are a problem in this school as well. There is a culture that encourages children to pick on the weak or different. I was told that my son needed to "suck it up and learn how to be a man."
I am rating average to hopefully not skew the results. We are considering buying a home in this area and this would be our assigned school. I have some concerns after reading these reviews. Is there a gifted program? As a stay at home mom, I LOVE being involved at the school. Because we would be moving there, would my volunteer efforts not be welcomed? Does this school practice differentiation by considering levels of ability in the curriculum? Does this school practice "clustering" for like abilities? Thank you for any input.
I completely agree to the previous two reviews... unwelcoming, if you don't have the right last name, don't bother. They have no desire to help kids in need, just want to play the blame game. The best interest of the child is not top priority at this school.
Principal is never there. VIce principal handles most things. Very unwelcoming to parents. Children are yelled at constantly in lunchroom. Math and reading averages for the school are below average. If you weren't born and raised there, if you don't "know somebody" you will get no where.
I have read the previous reviews and am very surprised CHES has gotten 4 stars. I give them 3 and I am being very generous. This school is made up of a handful of very good teachers and many poor teachers. There is definately a "click" within Chapel Hill and if you aren't one of the prominent families, "good luck". I have had two children in this school from 2007-to current and each year gets a little worse. Mr. Delk is a politician at best. If you come in angry, he will listen but also change the topic many, many times to try and distract you. He asks about your Momma, your job, your dog. Anything to avoid the issue. If you have a child with special needs THIS IS NOT THE SCHOOL FOR THEM! The teachers are not very prepared to handle special needs children. Oak Grove or MES has much better special ed programs and teachers. As far as parental involvement, if you are one of the families "in the click" you will be welcomed, everyone else, stay out and just send a check when they ask for it. They do not want you to help with anything, they will not welcome you. I have found this school to be so exhausting. There are some extremely good teachers but they are few and far between.
I have had 2 children in this school. One has luckily had great teachers and my second child went and we received a teacher that gave up on my child within 6 wks of school. Saying he/she just is not ready to withdrawl and wait until next year. If a child is shy and never been in a class setting they will have a harder adjustment. Instead of teacher saying how can we work together to get her on track and keep her caught up it was take her out. Now this is a kindergarten teacher whom I never even laugh or smile... I withdrew my child put her in anoother school and she is doing great! This showed me that it WAS the teacher and not my child. My son started school same way. New to a social setting because of me being a stay at home mother. His Kindergarten teacher did not give up on him. We worked together throughout the year and he did well! So there are some good teachers and there are not so good. I also talked to the principal on getting my child a different teacher to see how she responded to another. THis would tell me if it was the teacher or my child. Assistant principal told me this was not an option. What would it hurt? Never before have I heard I could not change a teacher?
This is an excellent school. We have had a good experience with the teachers and the pricipal. They have always been respectful and helpful. The principal is so good to the kids and they all respect him. The teachers we have had are great at their job. I am grateful to have my daughter going here.
The prinicpal and teachers work so hard to teach the children not only academic subjects but also about the community and how to care for it.
I have never felt so unwelcomed, disrespected in my work, and unhelped then when I walked into the front office at this school. I only went there because I tried for 3 weeks to get someone to answer the phone. I was there to present a gift and recieved poor manners from the office staff. Mr. Delk, on the other hand, was quite helpful and accepting.
They work hard to make every student feel special and good citizens
It is the best well rounded school my child has been in..
I think it is a good school however If your not in the click, you may get snubbed. Some of the teachers act like they hate their job. No smiles.
I have two children that attend Ches, we love it. We go down the halls and the teachers speak to you and they know your children! I drive 25 mins every day so my children can learn there. Mr. Delk personally knows every child there and takes time to speak to them! My babies will not attend anywhere else!
I love Chapel Hill School,so do my 2 chidren.I am glad that we moved here 6 years ago.
I am a former student of CHES. I had my best times there. Everything was perfect. Everytime I see the teachers, they always say 'hi!' to me. Mr.Delk is a great man. He runs CHES better than anyone has and better than anyone will. Best of luck to all the CHES staff!
I have 2 children in CHES and could not ask for a better school. Mr. Delk truly loves all the children enrolled and strives to make CHES the best school possible. I wouldn't want my kids going any where else. All of the teachers take a personal interest in the children, it's not just a job to them. Very easy to get in touch with anyone at the school. They truly put the children's needs and parent's concerns at the top of their lists. There is a lot to be said for small, hometown, schools. Keep up the good work!

Welcome To Emerald Salers - Salers Cattle Breeders, Northern Ireland
Emerald Salers
Salers Cattle are noted for their ease of calving and are often referred to as the 'Ultimate Suckler Cow'. The cows have the largest pelvic area of all beef breeds and the calves are born narrow but get up, suck and thrive very quickly.
The Emerald Salers Breed
Our first experience with the Salers breed was when we started using a Salers bull as a sweeper on our 120 cow dairy herd in 2005. Over the next few years their ease of calving was proven to us. All cows calved easily and mostly unassisted, which gave them a better chance of being up, back in milk and back in calf more quickly than if they had had a large calf.
The Emerald Salers Herd
The emerald pedigree herd was started in 2005 when our first purchased heifer calved. She is a superb animal by Sagitaire and gave birth (unassisted of course) to a polled bull calf by Rigel Othello. This calf was so impressive as he grew that we kept him and he is now our senior stock Sire. He is a large bull with high growth rates and the added bonus of carrying the polled gene.
We have since built up numbers of our pedigree cows. Our aim is to buy the best pedigree heifers possible so that any stock we sell will also be top quality. All our cows are quiet and easily handled.

Manchester United director Sir Alex Ferguson is reported to have discussed a deal for Arturo Vidal with Juventus officials last night.
The former Old Trafford supremo was seen in conversation with Juve coach Antonio Conte during the first half of the Europa League final between Sevilla and Benfica, sparking rumours that have been picked up in the Italian and Spanish press. AS and Mediaset claim Ferguson quizzed Conte on the likely cost and chances of doing a deal with Juve for the 27-year-old Chile midfielder - a player that he has personally been trying to recruit for over a year. Vidal signed a contract extension at Juventus in December to prolong his deal until 2017 and is thought to be settled in Turin. However, Juve are in the process of negotiating a new contract with ex-United midfielder Paul Pogba and may feel that a bid of £32million is sufficient for them to sign a replacement for Vidal and tie Pogba down to a long-term deal. Juventus president Andrea Agnelli was also at the game and was seen talking to Conte before the start of the second half.

"Once Upon A Time" recap: How to Tase Your Dragon (2.18)
Present-day August is 100% wood, but now he can move around and talk and I kind of wish he couldn't because I'm definitely going to have nightmares about him. Our pal Pinocchio is having a full-fledged mope-fest himself, and Snow finally sees how pathetic she must have been for the past few episodes. He begs her to forget she saw him and to not mention it to anyone, but Mary Margaret is a regular Gladys Witham and when she sees a problem that needs a-fixin', she just can't NOT.
Emma takes Henry to Neal's even though last time she left them unsupervised, he lost the kid. Also, why doesn't Regina also get visitation rights? Sure, he didn't kill Emma's ex-boyfriend, but he did leave her to rot in jail.
Anyway, Neal has some bad news and some awkward news. Bad news is, Hook's not in the basement anymore. Emma does not give a hoot; she's over Captain Eyeliner and his smarmy ways. Awkward news is, Tamara is on his way. Emma freaks the freak out. Emma tells him to come clean to his fiancé about who he is and where he's from as if it didn't take her a whole season of living in Storybrooke to believe, herself.
At the most uncomfortable family breakfast, Tamara tells them about her and Neal's meet-cute while Emma listens with as much feigned interest as she can muster whilst sitting like a lady.
On the way out, Henry leaves his book with his new daddy to help him tell his tale to his lady love. He literally says, "I'm from the Enchanted Forest." Which, way to ease her into it.
Tamara starts fuming like she thinks Neal is making things up to push her away. She apparently didn't notice Emma's Lesbian Slouch, so she says she feels all kinds of threatened and storms out.
Back in time, still in Hong Kong, August is taken to The Dragon's waiting room and who else is there but lil ol' Tamara. I knew she was trouble when she walked in.
Present day, Snow barges into the diner and does the one thing August told her not to do – proclaims to all the world that August is alive, though puppetized. After loudly stating his exact coordinates, she runs off to find the Blue Fairy, with Emma and Geppetto in tow. Guess who was eavesdropping.
And, let's be honest, Stranger Greg probably has the whole thing up on YouTube by now.
The Dragon (who, by the way, is definitely not my khaleesi) knows Pinocchio and says he can help — but only if he hands over his last puppet string. He also wants $10,000 which seems a little steep for something the Blue Fairy did for free.
Speaking of the Blue Fairy, she's taking her Mother Superior role very seriously and spouting all kinds of wisdom about being selfless and paths to redemption. Snow is desperate to help August, because if a puppet with poor decision-making skills can't get a second chance, what hope does a girl with a blackened heart have?
In a bar near The Dragon's cave, Tamara invites August to join her for a drink. She was visiting The Dragon because she has a rare, incurable form of cancer that requires a magical miracle to heal. It's unclear whether she knows there's actual magic involved or not, but no matter, she has an envelope just teeming with cash money to give The Dragon. She decides that the man she met in the seedy hallway of a black-market voodoo doctor would be a good person to keep an eye on said envelope while she stepped away to take a phone call.
Little did she know, after the leg and the brain, August's heart had turned to wood, so HE STOLE HER MONEY. She was already living on borrowed time and he just STOLE MORE OF IT. I don't even know if I WANT him to get redemption anymore. I'm kind of rooting for Regina to craft him into a bench. And then sit on it. With Emma.
Eh hem. Sorry.

Thanks for the pics. I would be very surprised if they came out with an X system. I believe they left the cable guard off on purpose to focus on just the riser. I do like the looks of the new single cam.
there has been alot of demand for the x system,everyforum i read there is allways people wanting the x to come back.so many people want it back...just like the bengal,it has been around for a long time.yes ridge hunter came out but to me its not the trade mark bengal.martin did good by bringing it back

Is it just me or does the idler wheel on that new bow looks small compared to the size of the lower cam?
I makes me wonder if there are going to be new cams on the two cam bows as well? If that happens it will make my Nitro 2 cammed bow worth even less once they are released.
Firecat 400
i would think a small wheel would give a bit more speed.spins faster,
Actually, the further you are from the pivot the faster you will travel on the arc. Remember playing snap the whip and being on the end?
Anyway, the just looks small in the picture, it could be an optical illusion.
Firecat 400
I think the idlers looks like it matches well actually. Look at how much space is between the string/cables at rest in the cam, and idler. They have nearly the same spacing, so either its an optical illusion or some new Martin innovation (we all know they are good for it) I got raked over the coals on AT for mentioning that the cam looks quite aggressive, and I said hopefully that equals more speed. I got told I can't tell that from looking st the cam track. I really wanna call b.s. on that since comparing bows of the past with small cams to bows of today with large cams, I gotta think the aggressive shape has something to so with speed. I realize the limbs have to do with it as well, but then Egypt is that once.ou replace the round idlers with a second cam, you have more sees than a single with the same limbs? Just thought I'd share that. I feel the cam looks badass..... and I want one. Haha. Also... now seems to be under 30" ata doesn't it?

We have setup a Magento store using Magento 1.6
Our client has some specific requirements when certain products are shipped to Pennsylvania.
- Footwear and clothing are Tax exempt.
- Accessories and Bags are charged 6% Tax.
- 6% Tax is charged on shipping costs.
- Free shipping is offered if order total is $199 or more.
There are some other requirements when items are shipped to other countries and states. In order to achieve all that, I have set up some shopping cart rules.
Everything is fine but our client is not happy with the display of tax on the cart and checkout pages.
As all items are tax exempt to all destinations except when bags and accessories are shipped to Pennsylvania, we have set up tax zones and rates and tax rules to apply 6% tax on all products when they are shipped to Pennsylvania. Let's suppose there are 2 taxable items and 2 tax exempt items and they are being shipped to Pennsylvania, each $100. So subtotal is $400. So the store first applies 6% tax on subtotal and then checks if there are tax exempt items in cart (in this case there are 2 worth $200). So a shopping cart rule applies 6% discount on these two items to deduct it from tax. So the display looks like as follows
- Subtotal $400
- Discount (on tax exempt items) -$12
- Tax $24
- Grand Total: 412
The Grand total is correct, but our client does not want Discount to be shown on screen and secondly Tax amount should be 6% of only taxable items. So the client wants tax display to be as follows
- Subtotal $400
- Tax $12
- Grand Total 412
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('totals'); ?>
The above line in info.phtlm file fetches the tax display table but I don't know where the contents of this function are?
I have been trying to modify
renderTotals($area = null, $colspan = 1) function in
public_html/app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Block/Cart/ folder but it breaks the display.
Could anyone please help me to achieve this?

I feel like I've been eating bake-at-home crummy brownie mix for the semester. I was happy cause like, hey, it's brownies! Yum! But since Friday night someone's been feeding me Max Brenner's bleeding heart chocolate cake off a silver platter with a self-replenishing glass of milk on the side. Now they took the Max Brenner's and i'm back to crummy brownie mix. Also I'm on a bus and it's raining.
It's okay guys. Cause I'm home now and my mom made Nutella Butter Cake.

Kilpatrick's 21 leads No. 13 Cincinnati, 61-58
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) Coach Donnie Jones waited until the second half for his UCF team to employ a junk defense on Cincinnati's Sean Kilpatrick.
And if not for a late 3-pointer by freshman Kevin Johnson, the strategy might have worked.
UCF was still within 55-53 and shadowing Kilpatrick when Johnson converted the long jumper with 36 seconds left to help No. 13 Cincinnati defeat a determined UCF team 61-58 in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference tournament Thursday night.
