Go With Mac And Save Yourself A Ton Of Stress And Money!!!
Posted by
Purchased new desktop with Vista 64 bit (only OS available these days). It will cost me upwards of $800+ to upgrade my other software and hardware for compatibility issues. This new desktop (4 weeks old now) has been crashing/locking up since day one while on internet explorer or ms office 2003 pro.
I have another pc running Vista 32 bit but it crashes regularly too.
I have a net book with XP that had to be reloaded but, because it is a netbook, it did not come with an option to create a recovery disk nor did it come with a recovery disk (it has no cd/DVD drive). Now I am trying to reload it using an actual, legal, authentic ms XP cd (that is not loaded on any other machine and I own it). It will not work with the legal, actual, authentic ms XP product key. Called ms customer support and they are telling me that the netbook manufacturer would have to send me a new disk. The netbook manufacturer wants to charge me $39 + s & h for that cd.
Ms is taking Advantage of the consumer. I am buying the products and adhering to the letter of the law and Microsoft just keeps finding another way to screw me. I have previously registered this product key in my name on the same machine but they don't care.
Bill gates may be giving millions to charities every year but the way I see it, he is stealing from the consumer and giving the consumers money to those charities in his name. Bill gates and all ms executives should be ashamed of themselves. How do they sleep at night? I have lost several hundred dollars in the last month because I could not deliver work promised on time. I am not going to cheat my customers... If you cannot honor you promises and commitments to your customers, you should not make them pay. Hey bill, that is what you call "good customer service"!
Oh by the way, I am sending this complaint on my new Macbook pro!! The netbook is going in the garbage, I have loaded linux on the 1 year old desktop and the 1 month old desktop is going back to the store. I want nothing else to do with Microsoft.
This Macbook is sweet. The software for mac's tend to be less expensive and work great. Oh, wait, that is because Microsoft did not manufacture those software programs.
Hp, Acer, Asus, Sony, Fujitsu, Dell, Gateway, E-machines... Take notice. This hits your bottom line just as much!!! Should you be putting your reputation on the line for Microsoft?? I won't anymore!
Sleep tight bill.
About me... I am have had training on and have built hundreds of pc's.

Down with the Mac!
MRM on 08/19/2009:
I find it hard to understand that if you have built hundreds of computers, why are you having trouble with Windows? I have never had trouble with Windows.

I've got a ThinkPad with xp and a HP Laptop with 32 & 64 bit Vista and have no problems with either.
I use Mozilla Firefox rather than IE

Less stress, maybe, maybe not. Less money, absolutely not. And if you think that 64-bit Vista is the only operating system available, it would explain a lot of issues you are having. Get some professional help correcting your PC issues.

As a Macintosh owner and Apple stock holder I say thanks and welcome to the club.
MICHCOLLINS on 08/20/2009:
The Mac is awesome. I have built many computers from the ground up and yes I do and even A+ techs have trouble with PC's. I find it hard to understand that any of you Windows fans can sit there and say you don't have any trouble with Windows. Maybe if you guys were working for Windows, everyone would love Wndows. As for the cost, I spent $50 more on the Macbook Pro than I would have spent on a Windows laptop (a good one, not a $300 version). I then spent $49 on VM Fusion (and after rebates, only $9) loaded my old copy of Windows XP and all my Windows software and I am very pleased. Mac runs Windows better than any PC I have had. SO.... for an additional $59 I am running a Mac and a Windows platform system with all my existing software. The sad thing is that some of the extra software I have purchased for Windows PC, I would never have had to buy with the Mac.
BTW, I do realize that you can still pruchase a 32 bit version of Windows but most stores only have 64 bit on laptops. In order to utilize the extra RAM on Windows (which is needed) you have to go with the 64 bit. With Mac, I can upgrade the RAM and don't have to worry about the "bit" software. Only 2 gigs of RAM on a Mac is much better than the 4 gigs of RAM on a PC.
Believe me, people have told me for years that I should get a Mac for my work (graphics and video) and I fought it. I owe those Mac lovers an apology for not listening.
Sorry if my factual statements have offended anyone... these are just my experiences and opinions. You are entitled to yours as well. If your Windows system does not give you problems, congratulations, if it does, try a Mac. If Windows wants to keep the loyalty, they need to offer better support and fewer "major" changes in their OS which requires other software upgrades.
Happy computing!

Misdirecting the market place
Posted by
Both my wife and my self went to Best Buy and received advice and direction on computer purchases, We were instructed to ad Vista as an operating system. We were told even though we wanted XP which we were told was about to be unsupported! So we got the systems with Vista. Now, were being told that Microsoft will discontinue to support Vista starting in July 2011.
You might think two multi-billion dollars companies might have some business practices that included lying, misrepresentations to get a few $$$$$$ makes me SICK.

Well XP is pretty old. Vista sort of like XP and still a supported product by Microsoft. so maybe, based on your needs, the sales person pointed you to Vista. for the record operating systems get replaced and updated all the time. Apple is famous for this, you buy a Apple product and the next year the new version is out. if the system does what you need and your happy with it, don't worry about it. there are hundreds of thousands of support people still supporting Windows ME, XP, Vista, 7 and so on. your not going to have a problem supporting any thing you need. now if it was CP/M you'd have an issue.
MRM on 06/08/2011:
Best Buy shouldn't be carrying Vista computers. Best Buy should be currently selling Windows 7 computers.

I have no idea why they would be selling an outdated OS. I know the netbooks had XP but now even they have windows 7 installed.

localgod on 06/09/2011:
Microsoft turns their O/S's about every 2 to 3 years which is a good life in the software biz. Their support is great and I'm not sure why the poster wanted XP when the system has had a reputation as being flaky and antiquated. Vista support will continue, but at a cost. That is still acceptable considering the short warranties on current operating systems. Did the poster expect free support for life?
MauiAl49 on 07/19/2011:
Only support for Vista service pack 1 is ending, support for Vista SP2 will continue until April 2012 and extended support will continue until 2017. Considering that Microsoft stopped licensing XP totally by October of 2010 I don't see how you could be buying a new computer at this time with it installed. Even if you could it would be rather out dated by now.

Beware of Vista
Posted by
I am certainly not a tech head or even a whiz on computers but I do use it for my work and to surf the internet for relevant information that I need. I have to say that two months after purchasing my Vista program some serious glitches started to appear and since then more problems have been occurring. The first problem is what everyone complains about is the speed or more so the lack of it. It takes for ever to load a page up. The next is that programs stop responding all together for no apparent reason and that is very frustrating. But the biggest problem is that Microsoft is not there to support. It's the first step to failure, no matter how big a company can be, if it ignores its clients it will quickly diminish in the eyes of the consumer and that long journey that it made to get to the top will be a far shorter journey on the way down as the weight of discontent propels it to it, s downfall.
There are alternate programs around that are not as flashy but at least they work.

Let's start by saying that I agree. Vista is a memory hog. I have Vista Ultimate on all of my computer and they all run flawlessly. If you have anything less than 3 GIGABYTES, you are in for a surprise. Vista, as well as every other Microsoft program uses at least double of what the basic minimums they post. Personally, I love VISTA ULTIMATE. I can't wait to try Windows 7 or 70 or whatever. Go Microsoft!!!

I do like XP, but on my personal laptop, I have the Vista Ultimate. I like it. I think people are purchasing computers on price and not getting enough memory on the front end. Then again, the manufacturers should be addressing the problem also.
Anonymous on 03/18/2009:
Vista sucks. My new laptop is a gazillion times more powerful than my old one, 4GBs, and half as fast. Pictures take forever to load and the Internet is constantly freezing. The sound on mine is clicking, too. I like some of the Vista features, but for the most part, it's not an improvement on XP.
madconsumer on 03/18/2009:
vista is different, yes, vista is a resource hog, yes. chage is good. any system running vista must meet a certain requirement, it is not for every machine.
Alain on 03/18/2009:
Still sticking with XP. Eventually we'll have to get some new machines. At that point, I'll being doing a lot of research. Making sure the machine can work with the operating system will be a big part of that.

Mario is right, Vista with enough RAM runs pretty well. I blame the PC manufacturers who are making machines with a single gig of memory, then loading Vista on them.
Anonymous on 03/18/2009:
I Echo Ken. I have Vista on my home PC. It took a little while to get used to but it isn't bad. The main problem is the speed because I chose the wrong size memory. I should have educated myself on my purchase before I handed over the cash.
Mario The Great on 03/20/2009:
Just a quick follow up to those who care - If you're Vista is 32 bit, you'll never be able to use more than 3GB of Ram - the 62 bit version allows for 4GB + . Thought you might want to know.
GenuineNerd on 03/21/2009:
Maybe consider Linux. I have an Asus EEE netbook that is Linux-equipped. This is mainly a backup or travel system for me...and the way Asus set the Linux up on this machine, it works almost like Windows, and is very fast. Faster than my Windows XP tower. Only drawback with Linux...some Windows programs or software won't work properly, or at all...but there are many Linux equivalents of popular Windows apps and games. And Linux is rarely affected by viruses, spyware, and malware (my Linux machine does come with an antivirus program, though.) Once you get used to Linux, you won't go back to Windows.
Scarsuna on 05/06/2009:
Vista is no good whatsoever, but Windows 7 seems to have learned from its failures.
I still like Linux better for anything but gaming.

No Free Support For Known Problems
Posted by
My nearly two year old Windows Vista laptop experiences the blue screen of death on startup. Won't even work in safe mode long enough to do anything. Fault module and exception errors are identified, but Microsoft wants 60 bucks to provide any specific information as to how to repair. By now it should be front page news... fixes are available all over the net, but drilling down to your exact problem is a daunting task. Microsoft should provide all they know about these problems for customers without charging.
How many time does one have to pay for a program that actually works? My next computer will absolutely NOT run any version of windows.

there can be many reasons a computer blue screens, not always a os issue. have you tried to roll back your system?
often times the blue screen is a conflict in the os and other software. sometimes from not enough memory or over loaded system.
Anonymous on 01/23/2009:
Or very commonly from a bad memory chip. If you have multiple chips of RAM, try swapping them out one by one and see if you can make the problem go away. In spite of what you think, BSOD problems are not common with Vista, I'd be more suspicious of a hardware error.
dan gordon on 01/23/2009:
I just called Microsoft this week and a tech guy spent over one hour with me to help out on a software issue. He even called me back in one hr to see if things had downloaded corretly. My experience could not have been more different.
Starlord on 01/24/2009:
We just found out because fo a call from our computer tech, DO NOT DOWNLOAD SERVICE PACK 3. Over 250,000 PCs have the same problem we had to take our PC into the shop for, and it is a Microsoft problem. The tech called Microsoft and got the info on the superglitch straight from Microsoft.

Exactly, what problems did you encounter when SP3 is installed on the PCs.

Vista-Microsoft Customer non-service
Posted by
KIHEI, HAWAII -- I was downloading music from our old computer (XP) to our new one with Vista (no choice unless you go with a Dell Inspiron). Anyway I could not find the way to covert the audio format from Mp3 to Audio CDs as there was on XP. I called customer service, never got to speak to anyone, because the computer is under warranty and I should contact HP, which is stupid because my ? was regarding the software. After an hour and a half of reading through their problems site on the net, I found out it can't convert the songs, you have to buy another program to be able to do what you could in XP for free.

Download iTunes from apple.com. It is free, and it will burn audio CDs from mp3 files.
Soaring Consumer on 12/05/2008:
Microsoft also removed useful functionality from many other things in Vista. Take Sound Recorder for example, they removed everything except the Start/Stop button. Hence I switched many of my computers back to XP.

I Hate Vista

i hate vista
SYDNEY, MASSACHUSETTS -- I can't believe how useless Vista is. Every update stuffs up and now with latest update when you ask for a new folder it sends the folder to n in an alphabetical sense before you even type in the name. What is this crap that is supposed to be better than the previous operating system. I think with all the compatibility problems with existing software and consistent stuff ups Bill Gates & Microsoft are a pack of blood sucking leaches who provide nothing for the consumer and everything for their bloodsucking shareholders. Guess what we all don't invest with Microsoft but we use your fuc&&n product everyday.
Fix it you bloodsuckers because you have a responsibility to your consumers as well as your shareholders. Vista is a disgrace.

Not to defend M$, but we forget that XP had more problems in its early days.
Mario The Great on 02/14/2008:
Old system: AMD Athlon 3000+, EIDE HD, 1 GB DDR Ram, Vista Ultimate - Awesome system, super slow
New system: Intel Dual Core 1.8, SATA HD, 2GB DDR2 Ram, Vista Ultimate - Awesome system, super fast
I've tested Vista Ultimate on systems that varied from 512MB of DDR to 4GB of DDR2. If you're not running AT LEAST 2GB of DDR2, the slowdown of your computer is noticeable. The dual core processor also kicks a$$. One thing I have noticed is that in the last 4 days, there have been Microsoft updates every day. Apple's OS is 10x better than Vista, but most people can't afford the basic Mac at $1,200. It's all about RAM. If your motherboard can take 2GB, go for it. If not, I'd hate to go back to XP, but it's faster if you have less than 2GB.
MRM on 02/14/2008:
Mario The Great, perhaps I need to use the new hardware technology to run Vista. For example, in my current system I'm still using the old DDR. I should be upgrading my motherboard with DDR2 to run Vista.

I'm not a Vista fan. I had the beta of Xp and loved it from day one. Vista seems so awkward to get around. It has some neat features but I'd like something fast and easy to navigate.
Mainly I use pclinuxos for office apps, web surfing and checking Email. it's fast and wroks great on an older computer.
Anonymous on 02/14/2008:
We got an email from MS this week that the Vista Service Pack is ready to go. I am not a Vista fan either but the service pack will quiet a lot of the issues people are having with Vista. We ran a beta copy of it, a number of the networking issues have been corrected and stuff like that. Bad news is on weaker systems it's still a dog on a hot summer day.
Mario The Great on 02/14/2008:
That was funny Gothic.
MRM - Old computer + cost of upgrades = $435 or more
Cost of new computer with 2GB DDR2 = $329+
Why not buy a new one, upgrade it for minimal cost and then give away or sell the old one?

Yes, I will upgrade the system but I will keep the old system for guests to use in the house.

Maybe I shall skip Vista and wait for "Windows 7" which will be due in 2010. Its only 2 years away till the new OS comes out. I hear that will be good. In the meantime, I will be using my trusty XP as it gets my work done in a flash.
Mario The Great on 02/14/2008:
By the way MRM or anyone else for that matter, if your computer is running slow, you may have tons of background programs running. Computers purchased from retailers come preloaded with crap from the get go. Here's how to get rid of it. (Applies to any MS system)
Step 1 - Go to the control panel and uninstall any unwanted programs
Step 2 - Go to RUN and type in MSCONFIG
Step 3 - Click on the STARTUP tab
Step 4 - Look at what's checked and what's not. Click off anything or any program that you don't recognize or don't want in your memory (I.e., Quicktime, Windows Defender, Adobe, Snapfish, etc.) I've never purchased any type of Virus program as I never download anything I'm not familiar with. Thus the need for Windows Defender (A SUPER memory hog) is unwarranted. If you click on DISABLE ALL, no programs will be loaded into memory. This is a great way to start. If you have any problems, just go back to MSCONFIG and click on a program that isn't respondind properly.
Step 5 - After you're done with that, click on the SERVICES tab and then click on HIDE ALL MICROSOFT SERVICES.
Step 6 - Click off anything you don't want running in memory (I.e., Google Updater Service, Yahoo Messenger, HP Health Check, etc.) Keep the ones that may affect you. (If you use a webcam, keep Logitech or whatever.) If it says audio, keep it. Otherwise, click it off and then finally
step 7 - Restart your computer. A box will pop up saying that a system configuration utility, blah, blah, blah. Click on the DON'T SHOW THIS MESSAGE AGAIN and then you're done. Restart the computer again and see if your startup isn't at least 20% faster.
MRM on 02/14/2008:
Mario, I have already tried all of the above as I have been re-installing Vista for the umpteenth time for testing purposes. Verdict: Vista SP1 RTM isn't ready for prime time yet, at least not for me
CrazyRedHead on 02/14/2008:
Mario,I voted you as most helpful. You are right, it takes a lot of memory to run Vista, along with all of the other programs, properly. I am looking into a computer with 3gb of memory that is upgradeable to 8. I know that this is probably more than I need, but I want to be safe. I have talked to many people that builds computer and they all say the same thing, memory, memory, memory. Also XP will lose support in the next few years.

My Vista Experience
Posted by
I was perfectly happy with my XP laptop. But at five years and beyond, it was slowing me down. I decided to upgrade to a new laptop a few months ago, and bought a Vaio laptop with a Vista OS on it.
I am not a tech junkey, but as an engineer and having used MS products from the days of MS DOS, I am quite familiar with the Windows OS. I also work in a network environement that uses Mac servers, and I do use Mac OS quite often. I cannot comment on every technical aspects of Vista, but as an end user utilizing a small number of available functions, I can tell you what Vista doesn't do for me.
1. My XP Home had no problem networking with the Mac network at my office. Vista Premium makes it very difficult to network into a Mac environment. Most "fixes" available by googling recommend upgrading. Why pay extra $100 just to network? It actually took tweaking a registry to get my Vista networking without an upgrade.
2. What about the tens of thousands of pre-2003 pocket PC's? Vista does not allow my pocket PC to synchronize with Outlook 2007. With my XP, synchronizing the two devices was seamless. One of the reasons that I bought a PC (even though I had access to a new Apple computer in the office) was because I could not synchronize my iPaq with Entougage (another MS product) without going through some intermediate steps. I could understand a MS product not connecting with Mac. But Vista not recognizing MS Windows CE?!????!!! I am definitely not buying another Windows mobile device. My next PDA is going to be using Palm OS.
3. I see no discernable advantage (visual or otherwise) of using Vista. It actually feels slower than my XP machine, especially when it's starting up. I do not find the graphical interface any better (if you want good graphical interface, get a Mac). If I ran an XP on my current Intel Core Duo machine instead of Vista, I could imagine it being incredibly fast.
So for the XP to Vista upgrade (including a faster hardware), I lost out on ease of networking, and connectivity with my PDA, but did not gain any speed or graphical/user interface advantage. Yes, about the Sidebar...I have no use for it and have it turned off because it just clutters up my desktop. If Sony or MS were to offer an XP OS as a replacement, I would gladly take it.

XP is so much better and Macs or the best. Vista is just horrible, so many compatibility problems, and everything is compeltely redesigned, but quite poorly. I find that every time I use Vista, I spend more time figuring out how to get stuff down than doing stuff. I'm so much more productive with my mac.
steve101 on 10/13/2007:
When my XP computer died 4 months ago I bought a Vista computer. It was initially one of the worst experiences I ever had with a PC. My printer, trackball, camera and MIDI keyboard was not compatible even with the Vista drivers from the manufacturers. Plus at that time Zone Alarm, AVG, and most Anti-spyware programs were not compatible. I had to buy a new printer, mouse,camera and keyboard,. Oh, and I had to add another 1G of memory because Vista is a memory hog. All of this doubled the price of my new computer. After all this Vista is a slower OS. Wait till you see all the updates that MS sends to your "secure" Vista OS. Stay with XP if you can..
Sparticus on 10/13/2007:
I opted for XP Pro on my new laptop I bought a few months back. Lenovo offered XP at the same price as Vista... since I was happy with XP, and I knew all my software and peripherals worked fine with XP... why upgrade to something with so many problems...
DigitalCommando on 10/13/2007:
JayD, your "no problem experience" is because that you are not a "power user" but in fact a simpleton who powered up the machine, uses only the software it came with, and has no clue about the system limitations or what it's vulnerabilities are. You have no concept of system migration issues related to server based XP to Vista transitions, and you probably just got lucky that your upgrade went as smooth as it did because that your XP machine probably had no changes on it from it's original out of the box condition. (Playing solitaire and spewing your anti-consumer diarrhea on this site doesn't qualify as a system change). Virtually all IT managers (that are smart) have postponed migration to Vista and home users by the thousands are having numerous issues that are well documented. NOBODY is recommending switching to Vista. Once again, you align yourself with the wrong side of an issue, an act which you to seem to relish in.

Why would anyone give money to Microsoft after Vista

After what Microsloth did to us with Vista, why would anyone throw more cash their way? This company has been doing it to consumers for years and the not unlike Evita, the money keeps rolling in. I will never understand. Can we spell Apple?

OK so there's probably more Kias on the road than there are rolls royces... doesn't mean that RR doesn't know what it's doing. ;-)
as for designing your own OS - that's what all the linux/unix people do.
You know I am thinking of putting OpenSolaris on my pc laptop. The download was less than 700MB. I think it would be interesting.
Besides I'm going to have to turn a lump of a computer into a Linux server in my computer class anyway.

I have been playing with WIndows 7 since the beta version. I haven't had any real issues with it. It is not glitchy at all like VIsta.
Plus it is not a resource hog that Vista is. The backwards XP compatibility is very nice and works well. It has been as stable as my XP machines. I replaced Vista on my one PC with Win 7 and it runs sooo much better now.
To the OP, Read the reviews on it before bashing it, WIn 7 is actually quite good.

Though, from what I've read online... it's recommended you purchase a new computer for 7 instead of upgrading a vista. something about issues with the file structure.
eh. who knows. I've only had one true hard "crash" with my mac... somehow I corrupted my hard drive. However, I had the presence of mind to save all of my data and and web browser settings BEFORE I reformatted.
so the only thing I really lost was my firefox bookmarks...but only because I forgot to save them.
but that's not bad. I've had to reformat my hdd once in 2.5 years due to a crash?
wel twice technically, but the first time was entirely my fault cos I was screwing around with the permissions and f'ed something up. and even then I didn't lose anything cos I still had all my data available on an external

7 has an interesting install Pep...when you start the process it asks you if you want to upgrade or do a new installation, just like previous versions did. I had already backed up my data and was more than willing to start with a blank disk, so I chose the latter. What it does is install a new operating system, but doesn't erase anything on the disk. Had I known, I could have saved a lot of backing up.
It installed really easily, and was about an hour start to finish, and so far it works great. The only problem I am having is getting my iTunes library active again, and ironically, that's an Apple issue, not Microsoft.
PepperElf on 10/21/2009:
well never consider a backup a total waste of time
when I had my HDD issues on the mac laptop I thought I'd have to back up my data, so I saved everything I needed (save for firefox history/bookmarks grumble) to an external drive.
turned out reinstalling Snow Leopard doesn't change the files...
however the hours I spend on saving the files were not wasted cos I ended up needing them anyway when I had to do a total reformat. ;-)

They Don't Care About You
Posted by
Was on the phone for over 2 hours, given several different numbers that brought me to the same lame customer service dept. that asked me the same questions over and over. Never received the help I was looking for. Then asked to pay a shipping and handling fee for a defective product that I already paid for. What a bunch of jerks. I HATE MICROSOFT! Just bought a Mac. WOW, love it.

My son bought a Mac and also likes it better. When my computers give out, I will be a convert too.
madconsumer on 12/12/2008:
so what was the issue? you never did explain anything except you dis-like microsoft.
tnchuck100 on 12/12/2008:
madconsumer, following the logic you used in a previous review when no specifics were given: What difference does it make to you what happened as long as the OP is not happy?
MRM on 12/12/2008:
If the OP explains what was wrong with Vista, us M3C Kings, will be able to resolve the issue. So, what was the issue that you have been having with Vista?
Anonymous on 12/12/2008:
Mad? What was the issue? Well gee, the OP was bounced around on the phone for over two hours. What difference does it matter what the core problem was? The complaint is against Microsoft corporation. If you cannot tell it was a customer service issue then maybe you should not have commented.

Has Anyone Else Had Problems Adjusting To Vista?
Posted by
I have found Microsoft's new operating system to be problematic at best. I took a class on office XP not to long ago and it seems as if with this new OS my skills are now obsolete. Is Microsoft just trying to make more money on tutorials and classes? It feels like kind of a waste of time and money to me?
Hopefully the next few upgrades won't deviate too much from this software so that we'll all have a time to adjust to it.

The first service pack for Vista is expected soon. Supposedly it will fix numerous problems. We tend to forget that when XP was first released it had problems as well.
Anonymous on 01/19/2008:
Are your issues with Vista, or with Office 2007? I found the new 'look and feel; of Office 2007 a little disconcerting at first, but I have come to like it a lot. On a machine with enough RAM, and UAC turned off, Vista hums along just fine, at least in my world it does.
Principissa on 01/19/2008:
XP had a lot of issues until service pack 2 came out. When that came out it was smooth sailing.

Anonymous on 01/19/2008:
Hey DB thanks, Msumonica send me an IM with what's problematic. We have dozens of help desk documents on Vista maybe one or more can help you out. If your having OS problems as said the service pack due next month will patch a lot of the networking and other bugs with Vista.

Spy Shots: Mini Speedster on the prowl – Click above for high-res image gallery Spy lenses in Germany recently caught sight of the upcoming 2012 Mini Coupe, and now those same crafty photogs just trained their cameras on a quasi-camouflaged Mini Speedster.

Montego Bay Vacations
Your Montego Bay vacation
Once a sugar port, Montego Bay maintains a sweetness all its own: Old sugar plantations are reborn as golf resorts, cruise ships dock, and rum, reggae and Red Stripe abound. Start the day with local Blue Mountain Coffee then order spicy jerk at Scotchie's. Salute the sunset with a planter's punch on rollicking Doctor's Cove Beach.
Montegonians dance anywhere and everywhere. Join the ongoing celebration on your Montego Bay vacation well beyond the Hip Strip. Let Orbitz give you the dish on Montego Bay including the best time to go, top 10 highlights and gems from our insiders.
Best time to take a vacation to Montego Bay
Year-round temperatures in the 80s and little rain put a sunny spin on any Montego Bay vacation. Prime dates depend on your desire to be part of the crowd(s).
High season is winter -- also the driest time of year -- when beaches get lively in December and are packed with good vibrations by Christmas. The revelry continues with Bob Marley's birthday bash in February and rages on through Easter and spring break. Expect a last hurrah in April for the island-wide Carnival festivities.
Summer heat keeps crowds and hotel rates low, aside from Reggae Sumfest in July. Montego Bay hurricane season peaks in August and September.
Insider tips for Montego Bay travel
Time 'n' Place
Just before Falmouth, a bare bones beach reveals a thatched-roof bar with a friendly staff. Reggae radio pulses out a low-key soundtrack for blended cocktails, grilled lobster and coconut shrimp.
Roadside stands
Along the coast and up and down the mountain, locals sell jerk pork, rum drinks, straw hats, wood carvings or fresh fruit and more.
MoBay Proper
If you had a Jamaican mama who was too tired to cook, she might send you to this locals' source for traditional grub. Don't let the pool tables, dominoes on the patio and sports on the big screen fool you into thinking the food isn't grand. And that includes the Friday night fish fry.
Local beaches
Mellow and authentic, Walter Fletcher Beach attracts locals and backpackers. In a white-sand crescent, Rose Hall Beach brims with a dive shop, jet ski rentals, changing rooms and a beach bar. No-frills Dead End Beach, also known as Buccaneer Beach, keeps it simple: just sand and sunset views.
Chukka horseback ride and swim
Not your typical bump along the trail, this one starts with panoramic coastline views and ends with a ride off into the sunset, quite literally. Hold your camera high as your horse moseys right into the warm Caribbean Sea.
More on Montego Bay from the Orbitz Blog
Beyond the beach: Things to do in Montego BayMontego Bay, Jamaica, or MoBay, as it's known by locals, is one of the most popular beaches in the Caribbean, with a bevy of all-inclusive resorts and plenty of places to grab a rum punch while soaking in the sunset and reggae.

Montego Bay highlights
Zipline canopy tours
After naps on the beach, an adrenaline shake-up is in order. Zip through a lush rainforest at top speeds past treetops and rushing water. Barrett Adventures offers the longest zipline in the Caribbean, with a 1,600-foot-long ride.
Jerk means spicy, delicious and slathered on chicken, pork or fish at this mouth-watering institution. Even for vegetarians, who feast on deep-fried cornbread (called "festival"), breadfruit and sweet potatoes dipped in a wicked, peppery sauce. Look for the thatched-roof dining huts along the coast highway and fans hunched over mounds of the good stuff wrapped up in aluminum foil.
Rose Hall Great House
Those who don't mind a bone-chilling tale may catch a glimpse of the White Witch on a tour through this ghostly landmark.
Scuba Diving at Montego Bay Marine Park
Get your certification before you go and the wonders of Cayman-Trench Wall and Chubb Reef can be yours. Experienced divers can enter the famous Widowmaker's Cave, then work their way back up a narrow chimney.
Descend upon Reggae Sumfest in February, head to the Bob Marley Experience theater or tour his scenic birthplace in Nine Mile. Show off your moves to the beats of a steel drum band or a DJ on any steamy night in Montego Bay.
River running
Tubing, bamboo rafting, kayaking and river rafting are Montego Bay vacation essentials. Get wet on a scorching afternoon or two.
Old Fort Craft Park
The city has no shortage of trinket peddlers, but here at souvenir central, all 180-plus vendors are licensed. Browse and bargain away.
Rocklands Bird Sanctuary
Mingle with some of the most exotic birds in the world and feed sugar-water to buzzy-winged hummingbirds by hand.
Doctor's Cave Beach
Battle the colorful crowds to people watch, swim or snorkel. This popular beach is known for its clear blue water that's pleasantly warm.
Gloucester Ave
Something to buy, something to eat, somewhere to dance and someone to braid your hair -- all on the same street, affectionately called the Hip Strip.

Eden Hazard's 96th-minute penalty enabled Chelsea to rescue a 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion and preserve Jose Mourinho's unbeaten home record. Referee Andre Marriner awarded the spot-kick in the fourth minute of stoppage time for a foul by Steven Reid on Ramires. Hazard converted for his fourth goal of the season.
Stephane Sessegnon thought he had won the game for the visitors with his 68th-minute strike, but the three points were snatched away from them by the late equaliser. Sessegnon's strike followed Shane Long's leveller as former Chelsea player and assistant manager Steve Clarke looked set to end Mourinho's unbeaten run at home in the Barclays Premier League, which has now been extended to 66 games.
Samuel Eto'o opened the scoring for Chelsea on the stroke of half-time as he robbed Liam Ridgewell at the back post. Long hauled the sides level just after the hour as the striker netted his first goal of the season from close range. Sessegnon then put the visitors ahead with his second goal of the campaign after some sloppy defending from the hosts, but Hazard rescued a point.
Mourinho, taking charge of his 100th home game in all competitions as Chelsea manager, recalled Hazard. Frank Lampard was the only other change from Wednesday's victory, the England international replacing John Obi Mikel. The visitors welcomed Reid back for the injured Billy Jones and Claudio Yacob for James Morrison, but there was no starting spot for Saido Berahino despite his goal in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace last weekend.
Chelsea began the stronger of the two sides and created good openings for Eto'o, but the striker was unable to convert any of the four chances he had. Oscar went closest to breaking the deadlock after half an hour from a long-range free-kick, but Boaz Myhill reached up to his left to tip the ball over the crossbar.
In the last minute of the first half, Eto'o finally found the net. Hazard saw a low shot parried by Myhill, the loose ball fell to Ridgewell, but he dallied in possession and the Chelsea striker wrapped his leg around the West Brom defender to fire into an empty net.
West Brom came out for the second half with renewed vigour and levelled just after the hour. Long grabbed the equaliser from close range minutes after he and Jonas Olsson had missed chances. The Republic of Ireland forward made no mistake with his second opportunity in as many minutes as he reacted quickest to head home from three yards.
Gareth McAuley saw his bullet header saved by Petr Cech, but Long rose highest at the back post to head home. Sessegnon put the visitors ahead seven minutes later after receiving a pass from Ridgewell as he side-stepped the challenge of John Terry and slotted the ball under Cech.
There was late drama, however, as Reid was adjudged to have bundled Ramires to the floor, with Hazard making no mistake from 12 yards.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "I'm satisfied, the attitude in the first half was the correct one, be patient, wait for a mistake, wait for space. In the second half the first goal was our mistake, the second one was a referee mistake, which is part of football as well, and after that our reaction was either die or fight for life.
"We fought for life, threw everything into attack, it was no problem to take risks or lose 3-1 or 4-1 if they caught us on the counter-attack, which they had a couple of opportunities to do, so the attitude was good from a team that played in the Champions League on Wednesday and is playing in the Premier League on Saturday.
"In the first half, West Brom didn't cross the midfield line, we didn't create a lot because they defended very well, but the fact is we were the only team who tried to score and win in the first half. When the attitude to the game is this one, there is always one team who deserves to win more than the other."
Video: Watch Jose Mourinho press conference >>
West Bromwich Albion head coach Steve Clarke: "We were good, we didn't pass the ball well enough in the first half. We defended well, kept a good shape and frustrated Chelsea which is what we set out to do.
"We were disappointed to lose a goal just before half-time, but we responded really well, created a number of chances and had a great chance to make it 3-1 before the non-penalty. If we carry that form into the rest of the season we'll be good."

Dunlop SP Sport Signature High Performance All-Season tire.
A new all-season performance tire from Dunlop combines the wet-road gripping power of Hydro-Paddles and a new Dry Performance Sector for enhanced cornering on twisting country roads. The new Dunlop SP Sport Signature® performance tire, a cousin to the brand's family-car Signature brand, is "built for the growing numbers of performance drivers who demand all-season traction and enhanced tread life to go with cornering G-forces." Located inboard, the Wet Performance Sector features Dunlop's Hydro-Paddle Technology, a hydrodynamic feature that literally helps pump water through a narrow channel and away from the tire, silica tread compounds that help maintain grip on wet surfaces, and full-depth sipes for enhanced water evacuation. Outboard, the tire's Dry Performance Sector uses a solid shoulder area for enhanced dry handling, straight sipes for a stiff solid contact surface and a solid center rib for enhanced road feedback for stability and driving confidence.

8 Cleaners That Need Cleaning
Before you get started with your spring cleaning checklist, make sure your cleaning tools are actually clean themselves.
By Andrea Cheng
Without a proper monthly cleanse, your self-cleaning dishwasher can become a cesspool of bacteria, fungi, black yeast, and even mold. Not to mention it can also emit a foul odor, thanks to leftover food particles.
To kill germs, erase soap scum and cut through films of grease. Start by picking up debris from the bottom of the drain with a rag or paper towel. Then, pour white vinegar into a cup, place it on the top rack of an empty dishwasher, and run a full cycle on the hottest water setting, says Sherrie Le Masurier, author of House Cleaning Tips: How to Clean and Declutter Your Home Fast. To deodorize, sprinkle a cup of baking soda on the bottom of the dishwasher and run a hot cycle.
If you find that the dishwasher interior often turns a rusty-brown color, the iron in your water is the culprit. Reverse the discoloration with a dishwasher cleaner.

"Monster Bug Wars" takes you ringside to witness some of nature's deadliest encounters-where losers aren't just KO'd, they're eaten alive. This is the no-holds-barred, real-life world of Spiders, Scorpions, Centipedes and Killer Ants who fight to the death. It's a six-episode bug-eat-bug gladiatorial contest where stings, spikes and deadly venom are wielded with cold-blooded precision. Filmed in super close-up high definition and illustrated with state-of-the-art CGI, Monster Bug Wars brings to life nature's ultimate fight club-five encounters per episode-with expert commentary from Cornell University's eminent entomologist, Dr Linda Rayor, and "Professor Poison", Dr Bryan Grieg Fry from The University of Queensland.
Monster Bug Wars (Death At Midnight)
When Rainforest Monsters like the Spiny Leaf Insect and Giant Rainforest Mantis go head-to-head, it's an all-out assult where only one survives. Can the lethal stinger of a Bull Ant overcome the suffocating silk of the Redback Spifder? Will the amazing speed of the Water Strider triumph over the stealth and cunning of a Water Spider? Can a black House Spider outpoint it's arch-rival, the White-Tailed Spider? And will a cranky, ancient warrior of the spider world - the Sydney Funnelweb prevail over it's highly evolved nemesis, the Garden Wolf Spider? When bugs go to war there's just one guarantee - you're either dead or alive.
Monster Bug Wars (Enemy Empire)
When a lethal Tree Scorpion threatens a Green Ant colony, carnage is guaranteed. But will one prevail over many? And who wins when a delicate Cellar Spider takes on Spiderworld's thousand-pound gorilla, the White Tailed Spider? With the fastest jaws in the business, a tussle between the Trap Jaw Ant and the bizarre, burrowing Ant Lion should be no contest at all. But is it? A neighborhood dispute between the Brown House Spider and one of the bug world's deadliest, the Redback Spider turns ugly. And who survives a showdown between a deadly Desert Centipede and a Desert Trapdoor Spider?"
Monster Bug Wars (Quick and the Deadly )
When the speedy House Centipede meets a brave and cunning Swift Tree Mantid, a "Snatch and Bite' showdown is assured. And who'll be left standing when the Whistling Tarantula encounters a fierce Bulldog Raspy Cricket? The Ogre-Faced Spider hunts with a tricky silk "fishing net' and it's now scheming to use it to catch a stealthy Assassin Bug. Will it succeed? When the venom-packed Marbled Scorpion meets the pumped-up Trap-Jaw Ant, it's sting versus sting and deadly claws against super-fast jaws. And who will survive when the strangely armed Spitting Spider comes face-to-face with the sharp-eyed Metallic-Green Jumping Spider?
Monster Bug Wars (Shape-Shifters )
When a cunning Tent Spider come to blows with a vicious Destructive Katydid, it's a battle between sticky silk, spiked legs and snapping jaws. And who'll be victorious when a huge Giant Banded Huntsman takes on the lean and mean Jungle Huntsman? The Rhinoceros Beetle has huge horns and heavy armor, but can it outwit a swarm of pesky Meat Ants with tiny jaws? When a Green Jumping Spider and a Long-Jawed Jumping Spider cross paths in the rainforest, one of these expert athletes will go down. And who will survive when the bold Grey Tree Runner Mantis encounters the stealthy Lichen Huntsman?
Monster Bug Wars (When Tribes Go To War)
When a combat-ready Badge Huntsman Spider encounters a deadly Spider Hunting Scorpion, it's a confrontation between two lethal injection systems on legs. And who'll survive when a rogue venomwielding Tree Centipede takes on a kick boxing Balloon-Winged Katydid with hard-hitting spiny limbs? The Freshwater Crab has heavy armor and heavy-duty claws, but can it defeat a slimy Tiger Leech with twin suckers and razor-sharp teeth? When a Portia Spider and a Long-Jawed Orb Weaver meet on a silk high-wire, someone will be played like a fiddle. And can a bustling colony of Green Ants outgun an angry swarm of Paper Wasps?

Pikes Peak Hill Climb contemplating expansion to two-day event
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Dec 26th, 2011 at 12:00PM
2012 will be the first year that the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will be held on an entirely paved road, and while many who have long been involved with the event are bemoaning the loss of the gravel sections, the full tarmac course has piqued interest in the race. In fact, event organizers are considering adding a second race day for 2013. This time last year only 46 racers has expressed interest in participating in the event, but that number is already up to 170 for next year's race. "The interest is astronomical compared to last year," says Tom Osborne, the Pikes Peak... Read More

A new study shows Britain is risking a back pain epidemic caused by unhealthy habits and sedentary lifestyles. The findings from a study by the British Acupuncture Council to mark 'Acupuncture Awareness Week' (3rd-10th March 2014) show that almost 80 per cent of people suffer with back pain yet admit to behaviours that put their backs under unnecessary strain1.
Date: Saturday, 04 January 2014 10:00
The New Year marks a time for fresh starts which often involve looking at health needs, including treatment alternatives for existing conditions. Traditional acupuncture has become a popular choice, both as a stand alone treatment, and in combination with Western biomedicine.

He is a regular contributor to "Erin Burnett OutFront" and is a member of the OutFront Political Strike Team.

(CNN) -- With a crop of political movies in the Oscar running, this weekend Hollywood is looking more like Poliwood. Best Picture contenders such as "Argo," "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Lincoln" have managed to pay off at the box office even as they brought politics and history to the big screen -- proof that we'll take smart over stupid as long as we're entertained while educated.
But what's really notable about these films is that for the most part they avoid hagiography. They dare to show complexity. This doesn't mean indulging in moral relativism; evil exists and these films acknowledge it. But the human dimension is kept intact rather, with characters not divided into simply angels versus devils. The real tradeoffs behind difficult decisions are acknowledged, consistent with the idea that the truth is never pure and rarely simple.
In "Argo," the CIA agents are far from James Bond clones. Suited up in 1970s regalia, Ben Affleck's disheveled character is separated from his wife and child. He quaffs wine and chows down on McDonald's, and is outclassed by Hollywood producers cooperating in the creation of the fake film that provides cover for an escape of embassy personnel from Iran.
The film doesn't blink at the brutal mob mentality of revolutionary Islamist radicals, but it also takes time to explain the vicious cycle that began when the CIA helped topple and democratically elected Mohammed Mossaddegh and replaced him with the shah. The Carter White House is depicted as well-intentioned and principled but not exactly a crackerjack All-Star Team.
Likewise, the Navy SEALs who kill Osama bin Laden in "Zero Dark Thirty" are disciplined in their work but not portrayed as anything resembling perfect in their personal lives. The lead CIA agent, Maya, played by Jessica Chastain, is a mess outside the narrow confines of her work. She is obsessive, bullying and intolerant but sharply intelligent. Her initial moral qualms over torture are quickly replaced by a cold determination to do whatever it takes.
Obeidallah: Oscars don't matter
But perhaps the best example of this human realism this Oscar season is Daniel Day-Lewis' definitive film portrayal of President Abraham Lincoln. He is not portrayed as a stovepipe-hat-wearing saint, but a prairie politician -- a flawed man and a wounded giant.
He wrestles with depression, slaps his eldest son and yells at his wife when she overindulges in histrionics over the death of a younger son. Lewis' Lincoln buoys his darker moods by telling meandering jokes that amuse him more than the listeners, infuriating his secretary of war, Edwin Stanton, in the process. He is thought to be a fool by some and a despot by others. But above all, he is skilled in the art of power and strategic in its deployment.
Lincoln stretches the limits of law and ethics to cobble together enough votes for the passage of the 13th Amendment. Congressmen are bribed and cajoled with the promise of lucrative new jobs. Threats are made and some principles abandoned in the cause of building a broader coalition. Lincoln lies to Congress about the status of secret peace talks with the Confederacy. He alone, at times, keeps in mind the larger goal of bending history toward justice, against the cruel backdrop of escalating body counts.
The best metaphor for the movie's more realistic viewpoint is Lincoln's voice. It has often been described by biographers as high-pitched with a Kentucky accent, and this was difficult to reconcile with the grave baritone we associate with the man reading the Gettysburg Address. But Daniel Day-Lewis did the research like Alan Lomax on a field recording and he came back with a voice that matches the biographical descriptions -- hard to imagine but instantly recognizable when finally heard. This Lincoln takes the risk of authenticity and takes the man off his pedestal, becoming somehow bigger for it.
And that's a healthy trend for movies overall.
Opinion: With Lincoln, a new frontier for Day-Lewis
Lastly, one the Academy missed: In an unjustly Oscar-ignored presidential portrayal, Bill Murray channeled FDR in "Hyde Park on Hudson," showing the four-term president as a charming man in need. Buoyant amid stormy weather, Murray's FDR is comfortable with maintaining multiple layers of deceit with those closest to him. This is capped off by intermingling romantic affairs that occasionally explode out into the open. It's a reminder that great and good can be very different qualities, doled out in different amounts at different times, sometimes within the same person.
The lesson? You don't have to be perfect to be a hero. And imperfections can actually add to heroism by virtue of authenticity.
Hollywood's new take on politics and history invigorates because it does not hero-worship or whitewash. By risking realism, exposing flaws as well as moments of greatness, the inspiration of these characters becomes more accessible to us all.

For nearly 85 years the people of our community have invested in their library, and the library has returned that investment many times over in educational resources, programs, classes, and services that have improved the quality of life in the Brandon community.
Today, that long-term, bountiful investment is in jeopardy.
For the child just beginning to discover the wonder of reading; for the teen striving to make meaningful life choices; for the unemployed adult struggling to re-enter the workforce; for the retired senior desperate to use and understand computers and the Internet so she can share e-mail with her out-of-town grandchildren, there is no substitute for the public library.
In October of 2009, the Michigan legislature approved the 2010 budget. That budget is bare bones for public libraries and library cooperatives. On October 12, 2009, Governor Granholm signed into law a 40% cut to Michigan libraries and cooperatives. That is a 4 million dollar loss in state aid in 2010 alone, which continues a trend that began more than a decade ago and has continued yearly.
Beyond state aid, the Brandon Township Public Library is funded primarily through a dedicated millage tax on Brandon Township's real property. As property values drop tax based revenue decreases. This has been the case at the Library for fiscal years 2008-2010, and this trend is predicted by analysts to linger at least into 2012.
As faithful stewards of a public trust, the Library Board of Trustees and the Director have devised a leaner budget for 2010 with the least compromises possible to public service. To do otherwise would represent a disservice to the people of Brandon Township who rely on the Library for a wide range of important educational and informational resources, programs and services. To date, strategic direction for reducing operating expenditures have been kept "behind the scenes" and mostly remain transparent to the user. If reductions in state aid and tax revenue collections continue, the Library will need to manage change in a manner that will be more directly felt by the public..
The public library is not a luxury. It is a necessity! Since the recession year of 2007, circulation of library materials in Brandon Township has increased 21%. Over the same period, library computer use has soared 48%. This year, the Library expects to circulate more than 130,000 items, welcome and serve more than 100,000 visitors and provide more than 35,000 computer use sessions.
What other publicly supported institution can claim such a record of public service and success?
We urge all Brandon Township residents and other supporters of the Library to register their complaints over present and proposed cuts to public library and cooperative budgets. We must direct our elected officials at the State and Federal level to do whatever it takes to sustain our public libraries and to seek long-term solutions to these recurring threats.
The Director and Library Board members have met with Senator Deb Cherry and Representative Jim Marleau and initiated a written and ongoing advocacy campaign with both. We will continue to advocate with elected officials at State and Federal levels to explore strategies to address this current challenge, and we urge all of you to do so as well by clicking on elected officials names below. You will immediately have the opportunity to address your concerns to each official through their e-mail systems. Together we can find meaningful, lasting solutions.
The Library Board and Director welcome any opportunity to discuss this vitally important issue with public officials, citizens and constituent groups.

Your gear looks pretty good for the most part, there are a few upgrades you can get from Naxx10 that should make it even better
For your spec, I strongly recommend using this spec as a main tank: 5/58/8. Reckoning isn't good enough to dump 5 points into it.
Overall gear looks good, though the spec could use a few changes. Find what works best for you though

Game two tonight. Come on Chicago, let's keep this going!
Game two tonight. Come on Chicago, let's keep this going!
That was a pretty boring game but I am happy with the outcome.
I still think the flyers have a chance.They've got to keep that pressure on Niemi and the blackhawks defense.I was really hoping for Carcillo to fuck up Kopecky though.
Well both teams decided to play defense yesterday whereas the previous game it seemed like they both just said "Fuck it!"
Nice goal, Giroux! Let's try to win in blowout fashion in game 4, though, Flyers. I'm getting sick of these "exciting" games.
From best of 7 to best of 3. Nice win, Flyers!!! Keep it going.
Sharks sign Antti Niem for a year...
Finally the season begins. Go Flyers!
I watched the Caps/Thrashers game tonight since Versus didn't broadcast an evening game. What happened to the Thrashers goalie was frightening. Don't think I've ever seen a player collapse like that without any contact whatsoever. Apparently they still don't know why he lost consciousness.
Realize this not a sports board exactly but where y'all at? HNIC! My Kings vs Vancouver right now. 0-0 and a good game.
'yotes with a crushing earlier of Boston. Phoenix are my pick to win the west and I am a die hard Kings fan. Speaking with my head there. Solid group from top to bottom.
Oa- anyone see Ivanans take that tko yesterday? Ivanans a long time King and a good fighter (horrible skater). Unusual to see that but all fighters eventually get their bell rung.
Steve Winwood| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds| Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds| Echo and the Bunnymen| Echo and the Bunnymen| Paul McCartney| Foxygen| FYF Fest| NIN/Soundgarden| Elvis Costello| Swans| Buzzcocks| King Crimson| Elton John| Kasabian| Massive Attack| Massive Attack| Slowdive| Tame Impala| DFA 1979| Fleetwood Mac| A Winged Victory for the Sullen
Thank you, Flyers, for actually holding onto a lead. The fact that it comes after a game where the Capitals actually showed up makes it that much more sweet.
It's not NHL but Canada pretty much dominated Team USA tonight in their World Junior Hockey semifinal. I hope Visentin isn't that good in goal if/when he finally makes it to the Sharks.
go avs!
the music is what its all about, you love it just like i love it.
What the.....
14 in a row = 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2013a, 2013b, 2014a, 2014b
I think it just skimmed his stick and put a weird spin on it.
That was an exciting, close game. Can't wait till playoffs!
the funny thing about that clip is the announcer giving the credit to the goalie.
If the Stars lose tonight, I'm officially calling off my love affair with them.
This NHL season is the most hotly contested post season race in any professional sports. Fact.

This webinar will be broadcast in Eastern Time (ET)
Series OverviewKnowledge of new medicines for children and clinical research has increased over the past decades. A revolution has taken place in pediatric oncology, where new dosing and new combinations of anticancer drugs developed for adult cancer have made the diagnosis of child cancer no longer an automatic death sentence.
DIA is presenting a Seven-Part webinar series on Pediatric Drug Development, which will start with an overview of the challenges and historical background of pediatric drug development, then proceed to specific discussion of US and EU pediatric legislation, and, in four additional pivotal webinars, discuss technical specificities of dosing in children, particular requirements in pediatric clinical trials, the development of pediatric formulations, and the need and challenges of juvenile animal studies.
Part 4: Dosing in Children OverviewOne of the key challenges of drug treatment in children is the definition of adequate doses. A science has evolved that tries to predict the appropriate dose in children through modeling and simulation. A further challenge is that phase I studies in healthy children are not allowed. So, before dose proposals for use in children can be made, organizations need to go through an elaborate program and discuss it upfront with the regulatory authorities. This webinar will discuss technical specificities of dosing in children.
Other Webinars in this Series:
Part 1: Overall Challenge: The Vision of Better Medicines for ChildrenPart 2: Regulatory FrameworkPart 3: Regulatory Framework EUPart 5: Technical Development: Pediatric FormulationsPart 6: Preclinical Toxicology & SafetyPart 7: Operational Challenges of Pediatric Clinical Trials

Great hackey sack
Bought the sand filled one and it was perfect. It has just the right amount of sand in it so it doesnt go lop-sided when you give it a glancing hit. Despite this it is still easy to stall, plus it stands up to heavy use and was still working fine 5 months later until I lost it. Im ordering another one now and thought I'd review it to help anyone else looking for a good hackey sack. Would buy for a third time if I manage to lose the second one! -- Kris
Very, very good!
this dirt bag is beyond perfect, the stall is obviously quality. and the pop/bounce is very loft like.
9/10 -- Joshua Malkamaki
The best hackeysack ive ever had ; ( just lost 2day made the mistake of letting someone borrow it they were irresponsible and lost it, so much sadness best sack ever rip -- bryan

She led a double life--twice. The second time, she didn't get away with it.
At 6:08 a.m. on February 1st, 1988, the police in Durham, North Carolina got the call that a man had been shot. Barbara Sanger told the officers the gun her husband kept under his pillow accidentally fired and shot him in the head. According to shocked friends, coworkers and family members, Barbara was a devoted wife, mother and Christian.
AMERICAN JUSTICE recounts how the facts of the shooting emerged. It became clear Sanger was not the gentle, caring woman she seemed. The investigation showed that the accident was really a cold-blooded murder--and not Barbara's first. Barbara's first husband also died of a gunshot wound. As a young, bored, suburban housewife, Sanger went shopping for expensive clothes, luxury cars, and extramarital affairs. She feared her husband would discover her darker side, so she bought a gun and shot him in the middle of the night. While the detective assigned to the first shooting continued to investigate Barbara, he was thwarted by his own department, which was wary of attracting controversy during an election year. Ten years later, his suspicions were proved correct with a second tragedy.
Testimony from investigators, officers and lawyers involved in the case helps tell the BARBARA STAGER STORY.

Early English Books Online (EEBO) contains over 125,000 books, pamphlets, broadsides, and other printed matter printed in England or its Colonies or in English anywhere during the years 1475-1700. EEBO titles appear as digital images and can be downloaded as pdf files. The database is searchable, but see also the English Short-Title Catalogue that allows more complex searches and is keyed to EEBO titles. Some 25,000 of the EEBO titles are being digitized with SGML coding as part of the "Text Creation Partnership." Included here are titles listed in Pollard & Redgrave's Short-Title Catalogue (1475 - 1640), Wing's Short-Title Catalogue(1641-1700), and the Thomason Tracts (1640-1661); titles in the Tract Supplement will be added starting in 2007-08.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Anastasia Island Book Club: Palmetto Country
Thursday, October 17 @ 6:45pm
Between 1937 and 1942, Stetson Kennedy led the Florida Writers Project unit on folklore, oral history, and social-ethnic studies for the Works Progress Administration. He hauled a sound recorder the size of a large coffee table around the state to capture the songs, tales, and anecdotes of pogey fishermen at Mayport, railroad gandy-dancers, Latin cigar makers, Greek spongers, and turpentiners. Among the results was what Stetson called, "...A sort of barefoot social history of Florida." All are welcome to join the discussion. Reserve it.
