Bodegas Protos Ribera Del Duero Rosado 2011

The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
From the beautifully robust, boisterous and spicy red Tempranillo wines of the west, to the fruity, aromatic white Verdejo wines from the Rueda, Castilla y Leon is a Spanish wine region with something to please everyone. The region itself is a particularly fascinating one for European wine fans, as it dates back several centuries and is, in many ways, the defining region of Spain for the country's viticultural identity. Dry, arid soils and baking heat produce wines of a unique character, coming from grapes which have to struggle to attain the moisture they require in order to ripen. The flavors of Castilla y Leon are big, bold and seductive, and packed full of all the passion and history only a country like Spain can provide.
From the deep and intense Rioja wines, or the dry and refreshing Ruedas, from Tempranillos to Verdejos, the range and quality of Spanish wines is always going to impress and fascinate. With several thousand years of traditions and expertise leading the way, Spanish wineries are currently producing some of the most flavorful and interesting wines to come out of Europe, striving to overcome the reputation problems the country suffered in the mid to late twentieth century. Despite being one of the largest producers of wine in the world, with billions of bottles being filled each year, Spanish wine producers are more interested in quality over quantity than ever before. The results of this are some truly world class wines rivaling even the finest produce of France in regards to balance, character and flavor, gaining new fans and enthusiasts every day.

During the last legislative session, state Sen. Ben Nevers fought hard for the expansion of Medicaid in Louisiana under the Affordable Care Act. But ultimately, a bill to put the issue on the ballot didn't even make it out of committee.
But the legislature did pass another bill from Nevers, compelling the state Department of Health and Hospitals to come up with a plan for Louisiana to pilot "America Next" — Gov. Bobby Jindal's alternative to Obamacare.
DHH put out their initial report in response a few weeks ago.
Originally published on Wed November 6, 2013 7:25 am
The state Department of Health and Hospitals is taking preliminary steps to further privatize Medicaid in Louisiana. In August, DHH released a concept paper about reforms to long-term care for the developmentally disabled and low-income elderly.
Louisiana will continue operating a nutrition program for more than 140,000 low-to moderate income women and children even though the federal government is in the midst of a partial shutdown.
The Department of Health and Hospitals said Thursday that Louisiana's Women, Infants and Children Program, commonly called WIC, will be funded until the end of October, using money set aside from the prior fiscal year.
Federal and state health regulators have confirmed that a child, who died from encephalitis caused by a rare amoeba, contracted the illness while visiting a home in St. Bernard Parish.
Louisiana's Department of Health and Hospitals said Thursday that while water samples taken from the home tested positive for the Naegleria fowleri amoeba, initial tests of the parish water system are negative for it.
Originally published on Sat August 17, 2013 9:42 am
Since 2009, Louisiana and seven other states have been using a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to make Medicaid more accessible to those who are eligible.
Originally published on Fri July 26, 2013 6:15 pm
At the close of the recent legislative session, Gov. Bobby Jindal vetoed additional funding to pay for services for the developmentally disabled.
Two weeks ago, an effort to override the veto failed.
The $3.9 million would have covered a partial year of comprehensive at-home disability services for an additional 200 people through what are called "New Opportunity Waivers".
Originally published on Tue March 26, 2013 7:02 pm
Officials from the Department of Health and Hospitals were grilled Tuesday morning by the Appropriations Committee on how they plan to save money in the next fiscal year.
Among other cost-saving measures, the department's $8.9 billion proposed budget calls for turning over a number of existing Medicaid services to private entities, and investing more in the Bayou Health reforms. Savings also hinge on the privatization of the LSU charity hospitals, although no official agreements have been made yet.
State health officials say more than $800,000 in public money allegedly has been misappropriated by a Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals employee.
The Times-Picayune reports DHH said the theft was uncovered during an internal investigation. DHH's Bureau of Health Care Integrity began the probe after officials noticed unusual accounting practices involving the employee, whose name has not been released.
Originally published on Tue February 26, 2013 6:11 am
Gov. Bobby Jindal's proposed $24.7 billion state budget for the next fiscal year seemingly leaves the state Department of Health and Hospitals relatively unscathed.
Originally published on Thu February 7, 2013 5:33 pm
Almost $83 million in cuts to healthcare programs and services went into effect Friday to shore up a mid-year deficit in the state budget. These are separate from a previous round of cuts made in July.
The latest round of reductions includes cuts to services for at-risk children and low-income moms, as well as a one percent drop in the rate paid to hospitals and physicians for non-primary Medicaid services.

Twanée - Falling Down
Artist: Twanée
Producer: Ky Miller
Album: Untitled (TBD)
Avg Rating: 2.8 ( 4 votes )
Damn, Twanée just doesn't get a break. Last we heard from the singer, in February, the fallout from a breakup had her feeling as Cold as Ice. On her latest promo single, far from having recovered, she's Falling Down into a veritable whirlpool of emotional turmoil. Over a cinematic, string/piano beat by G-Unit engineer/producer Ky Miller, the singer-songwriter showcases her powerful pipes in bars dripping with pain and regret. While the album to which this cathartic cut will be attached has yet to receive either a title or a drop date, those feeling it can, as always, stay tuned to The DJBooth for all the latest news and tunes.

I was going to initialy address this issue as a response to forum-member Spud's concealed clothing question, but figured it would get more responses as it's own thread.
Everything is a compromise. As concealment goes up, accessability goes down. So I'm just curious, those of you that wear Smartcarry or belly bands or the Kramer Confidant T-shirts as your primary carry, what is your draw to first shot speed like?
I do alot of my personal training on a timer. I have been in enough situations on-duty that I know in the real world things go down and dirty in micro-seconds. A close quarters confrontation is very dynamic. I personally refuse to use any carry system or mode of concealment that will not allow a first shot in less than 1.5 seconds from concealment. I just highly doubt that is possible with some of the conealment methods, and I know for fact allowing 1.5 seconds is being overlly generous. It should probably be more like 3/4 of a second.
I know all trainers will tell you that the first rule of a gunfight is "Have a gun". Well, I think that should be more specific "Have a readily accessible gun". Just having a gun on your person is not enough if you cannot get to it in the time frame needed. I know there is a certain level of personal security felt from wearing a pistol. I have been in training classes where everyone is drawing from concealment, and have emptied a mag and reloaded before others have even brought their gun on target when the command to fire is given. Now I know at these classes everyone comes there with their own varying skill levels and personal response time, but if it is taking that long to access the gun in response to threat then there may be an issue with the concealment method. But I guess it is a matter of what is more important to the individual, very deep concealment with a longer draw-time, or still well concealed but with a quick first shot.

Protesters plead with governor not to close down a DHHS facility
PORTLAND (WGME) -- Protestors want to send a strong message to the governor.
They're fighting against a decision to close down a Portland DHHS facility and open a new one in South Portland.
At least one democratic leader says the governor's move is only adding to the quote: "war on the poor."
It's a message from Portland to Augusta.
These protestors say people utilizing DHHS simply cannot afford to go to a new facility in South Portland.
Patty Fitzpatrick works at Preble Street and says she sees the struggle first hand.
The group Homeless Voices for Justice holds this protest every month.
On Wednesday, Portland senator and senate president Justin Alfond joined their voices, speaking out against the governor's decision.
Governor Lepage signed the contract to move the facility in January.
Lepage says this plan will save taxpayers more than 23 million dollars over the course of 30 years.
But for the people who use the facility and know others who rely on it, they say there has to be another way.
Jim Devine, Homeless Voices for Justice, says, Its a bad solution to a problem that is almost a problem that doesn't exist.

Kate Hudson Carries Her "Fireball" Bingham Through the Big Apple
Kate Hudson carried her son Bingham Bellamy as they left their NYC hotel today. Her casual outing with her almost-2-year-old comes on the heels of a busy day and night yesterday. Kate appeared at the New York Indian Film Festival last night to take part in a Q&A with her The Reluctant Fundamentalist costar Riz Ahmed and director Mira Nair. Earlier in the day, she swung by to chat with David Letterman on The Late Show, where she described her older son, Ryder Robinson, as a "laid-back, cool, sort of poetic type" and Bing as a "fireball." Now that Kate's busy week of promotional stops in the Big Apple is winding down, she will soon head back to London and begin filming her latest project with James Franco, titled Good People.

Perhaps he is colour-blind, or suffering from the Faraday effects of his aluminium hat.
I recently moved from a house on a one-way street that adjoined a very busy intersection, to a different house a couple of blocks away on the same one-way street.
Before, it was maddening: There was a constant roar of revving engines, worse in the summer with barely-mobile Harley riders gunning the engine just to keep it running, but also year-round coverage from loud ricers, heavy trucks, and straight-piped diesel pickups.
Now that I'm a couple of blocks away from that intersection, and not particularly near a stop sign or a traffic light, it's much, much quieter...not so much because there is less traffic (there is plenty), but because that traffic is not actively accelerating.
So, you're right. But you're also wrong.
The noise I hear, now, is almost always just tire noise. The speed limit is 25MPH (which people tend to think of as 30MPH in this locality) and folks tend to be actively decelerating for the railroad crossing just past my house, and yet I can plainly hear the cars approaching from hundreds of feet away.
Even a Tesla, of which there is one in the neighborhood that I see out and about semi-regularly.
So yes, drivetrain noise can be significant, but even in residential areas where people aren't accelerating, tire noise alone can be very substantial...and certainly substantial enough for a middle-aged person of average or below-average hearing to hear what's coming.
Parking lots? I've been damn near run down by a distracted, low-speed Prius driver before. I might be OK with some form of artificial noise -outside- the vehicle, as I understand (but have not witnessed) is done with the Nissan Leaf.
(I've also lived next to a busy Interstate, which was also very noisy place dominated by rubber tires on asphalt, and also on a goes-nowhere country road whereupon most drivers had a destination on that road and that was also largely tire noise. I realize these extra data points add nothing to this particular discussion of residential speeds, but perhaps lends some credence to my perceptive experience.)
it used to be that every phone vendor needed their own chargers (or at least adaptor cables but even that could be dodgy). Nowadays they all use 5V and most of them use a microUSB connector to deliver it.
That is because of a EU directive specifying that phones have micro USB for charging, not because of a diverse industry suddenly making sense.
(although, before that, the world had almost settled on mini USB.)
Youtube? Really?
Youtube doesn't work on my Sonos gear, and chews up data on my cell phone.
Spotify works well in both places, and is lean on cell data.
Years on a contract? I call that "moving."
Contract ends? I call that "moving, again."
I don't think I'd expect the same streaming services if I moved to another country, any more than I would expect the cuisine to be identical.
I think that repetition is doing nothing to support your point, and that it wastes your time.
I also am averse to adding anything to food for the sake of "color."
I don't know what "a commercial problem" is. Is it about advertising? Because I've never encountered "a commercial problem," as far as I know.
I've never missed paying the bill and have rarely called them to support my internet connection, but they'd rather get a new customer than keep me, even when I asked them to just match the new customer deal for me.
If that's the case you're simply doing it wrong.
Here is how you do it right: Call them up. Tell them that you want to cancel. When they ask why, tell them that $competitor is offering you a better deal.
They will balk and scriptedly explain that $competitor's service is inferior.
Ignore this and tell them that price is your primary motivation right now.
They've got a script, and you aren't the first customer to play through it. So use your own script, and stick to it. If/when you make it all the way to the Customer Retention department, they'll give you whatever you want to keep you around, and if all you want is a steep discount for a year they'll be happy to provide that.
And if they're not happy to provide that, tell them (again) cancel it. Rinse and repeat until you've got what you want.
And don't worry: It's much harder than you think to get a Customer Retention rep to turn off your service.
(In my experience this works for any value of $provider. Way back in the dial-up days I had free nationwide Internet for most of a year: Every time I called $provider to "cancel," they offered me another month or three for free, which I found to be fairly profitable based on my usual hourly wage at that time.)
I don't have Comcast as an option, but I can upgrade my own VDSL to 75Mbps if I decide that I need to do so.
If they want all of the comforts of their own home, perhaps they should not leave it.
And if you keep repeating the same thing over and over again, people will believe you.
You know, I do buy some music.
From some artists.
Some of the time.
These days.
Now that streaming is relatively cheap, and music is relatively difficult to walk down the street and just legitimately buy.
I prefer actual pressed/injection-molded CDs (to play in my Krell CD player...), and have quite a number of them.
But the rest of the time, I use Spotify. Spotify allows me exploration and endless background noise for way less money, billed once a month, than buying an exploratory CD or two.
And I don't have to maintain a database of my own music on my own servers to keep track of it all, much less manage off-site backups.
I use Spotify because it works for me.
I used to buy music regularly, on CD, but the last music store here closed almost 8 years ago.
Not that CDs and other physical album sales were generally a particular profitable item for artists, either. The music industry is and was and by all observations will continue to be a completely fucked up mess when it comes to paying artists for recorded music.
Although I generally agree with you, I must say: As an American living in the midwest, I don't notice much about location-based blocking.
And when I visit another country (which I don't generally ever do), I'll hopefully be far more entertained by local customs and exploring things that are new to me, than I will be worried about whether or not my Spotify playlists are operating correctly.
I use a VPN provider which does not care what I do with it, or how much data I transfer. They guarantee 4Mbps, minimum, of symmetric bandwidth availability. They actively encourage people to use the service as they see fit, and even offer (quite slow) services for free to people living in very restrictive jurisdictions.
And it's cheaper than $9.99/month.
I go on working for the same reason a hen goes on laying eggs. -- H.L. Mencken

Resistor Theory and Technology hands engineers, scientists, technicians, and business people in the electronics industries a much-needed roadmap to understanding resistor design, fabrication, and use.
Resistor Theory and Technology gives an overview of resistor theory and technology, showing how it arises from scientific theories or resistive properties of materials.
It explains selection and use of virtually every discrete resistor type, including high-performance precision resistors, sophisticated anistropic magnetoresistance for hard disk drives and recording devices, potentiometers for automated control systems, the increasingly popular nonlinear resistors, and many others.
Each chapter of Resistor Theory and Technology stands alone, making it perfect as a resource for a variety of resistor-related subjects, including:
Appendix II - Quality Assurance
Appendix III - Model for Accelerated Lifetime Testing
Appendix IV - The Resistance Strain Gage

The secret to athletic greatness 60-plus years ago? Smoking. Lots and lots of smoking.
We can't even imagine how much Phil Collins' music was blasting on the set of this shoot.
Check out the shades, the colorful jacket, the giant red tennis racket and moon-sized tennis ball around the 18-time Grand Slam singles champion. Apparently cocaine was rampant among ad execs in the '80s.
We're pretty sure Mickey's YooHoo bottle wasn't filled with YooHoo.
Hmmm... not so sure that tagline would work today.
We apologize; really should have had a warning before this one. But yes, the Orioles Hall of Fame pitcher did help popularize the banana hammock.
Nothing says bad-ass football player like shoulder pads, eye black and perfectly coiffed hair thickened by elegant mousse.
Note how much the tailor is sweating. Apparently he got a good peek at Mean Joe's package.
The Boz was a favorite target for fans' animosity, but we all appreciated him in the cinematic achievement that was Stone Cold. He was better-equipped to fight in that movie than against Bo Jackson.
Speaking of Bo, these Nike campaigns were huge. No jokes here; the guy was just an amazing athlete until the injuries started. He won a Heisman and played in the all-star game of both MLB and the NFL. And he did it all shirtless.
The all-time steals leader is a tough act to follow on the diamond and with money quotes off the field. Former teammate Steve Finley to Rickey on a team flight: "You have tenure, sit wherever you want." Henderson to Finley: "Ten years? Rickey's been playing at least 16, 17 years."
Behold, the Golden Bear is rocking some white short-shorts. Can't criticize the 18-time Major winner though; just going to blame the '70s.
Speaking of old-school shorts that make you feel uncomfortable, everybody remembers a former football coach sporting these bad boys. At least the former Cowboys quarterback doesn't have a mesh hat and gut like your high school coach.
The former Braves owner and CNN founder is dubbed "Captain Outrageous" in this ad. Of course, he did once name himself manager for a day (a loss) before it was deemed to be in violation of MLB rules. Can you imagine Turner in a baseball uniform?
Boom! Gotta love the former coach and broadcaster helping you out with car care. No doubt Brett Favre would have sponsored this as well if he had not been at Southern Miss at the time.
Is anything more '80s than those Maverick-from-Top Gun pair of Ray-Bans? You know it's been a few years when a player (called "Mr. May" by New York owner George Steinbrenner) had to leave the Yankees to win a World Series.
Talk about an old-school ad. The former Oklahoma State and Dallas Cowboys running back was truly a cowboy, moonlighting in the offseason on the professional rodeo circuit.
These old-school Converse shoes were classic in the 1980s, and Larry Bird and Magic Johnson were perfect pitchmen. Note just how ripped they both look.
Yes kids, that old dude on the Kardashians was a big deal. Ironically, he's hocking cameras.
Camels were apparently it for the top players back in the day. So rich, so mild!
Nothing says great dental hygiene like a pickup game in the park.
You can almost hear the tennis great yelling at the photographer.
Mr. October definitely stirred the drink in New York. How about the old-school electronics?
The seven-time Grand Slam singles champion should be selling mustaches, not cameras.
Sweet bike, Bob. Do they make those for men?

Genes define the kind of movement and exertion you need to survive and stay fit. Every person's muscles, bones, and organ systems are reflections of this genetic design. And the way they work together with the challenges of your environment is the formula for strength, vitality, and long life.
The trigger that makes it happen is short bursts of exertion followed by rest and recovery. This natural rhythm produces:
Frederic J. Vagnini, MD, FACS, Medical Director of the Heart, Diabetes and Weight Loss Centers of New York adds, "Dr. Al Sears has distinguished himself as a leader in the area of Anti-Aging Medicine and recently in cell and telomere biology. Now, he boldly introduces the PACE fitness program. This challenges present day exercise theory. However, the program is backed by considerable research, and I predict will become a standard part of a progressive Anti-Aging Protocol."

I started this in mid October for the NG halloween thing, but once I realized I was going to miss the deadline I started taking my time. This probably took me around 3 months in total as there was definitely an entire month worth of screwing around and playing XBox Live arcade... THAT MONTH WAS WORTH IT THOUGH.
I did all the animation and music and everything, BUT I had awesome help on the voice work from Caxx, which I couldn't have done without:
http://caxx.newgrounds.co m
Sorry about the filesize, and thanks a bazillion again to Tom for raising my limit, and for the front page and everything else.
At first I thought "3 months!? what? that must be one lazy animator!" but as soon as I hit play, I wondered; how could someone who is not a proffesional make this!?
It's great! perfect! awesome! this is a GREAT short 10/10.
Impressive stuff
Well it may be late for Halloween but it pretty much qualifies for a valentine day flash... too bad there is no competition of that... Great animation. A little predictable and basic story but the ending was really good. The quality of the art is awesome. I'm very impressed.
Lol, that's sooo stereotypical japanese anime, as soon as there's tentacles in, there's always a rape scene.
lol, no but this was truly great, the animation was BEYOND AWESOME and the voice was perfect. 10/10

I have not much room to play with so can not get away from the ground affect but their is no oscillation at all and i can hover but still need to counter act the controls a lot as it seems to drift a lot but will try to get some video so so guys can give me some feed back.

I do have a question. I got a new receiver with a satellite, if you check out the picture below, can the satellite be that close to the ESC? I hope the Super simple gimble "SSG" for the gopro works well. I still haven't figured out a good spot for my FPV camera.

The Federal Trade Commission has found its new chief information officer.
FTC officials confirmed Bajinder Paul, deputy associate administrator of citizen services and innovative technologies at the General Services Administration, will replace former FTC CIO Jeff Huskey, who left the agency in March.
Paul has a lengthy resume in IT management, the last three years of which have been spent at GSA. Previously, he served nearly four years as CIO at the Treasury Department's Office of the Comptroller of Currency, a combined three years as acting CIO and deputy CIO at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and four years at various positions at the Justice Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Paul is a two-time Federal 100 winner. He earned the award in 2008 for creating a Web portal to provide nationwide access to all types of housing disaster assistance while at HUD and again in 2010 at Treasury, where he launched an IT modernization strategy built on business-driven architecture, cloud computing and Web-based tools.

BKF Capital Issues Open Letter To Qualstar Board — "There You Go Again" Distorting The Facts And Distracting Shareholders From The Issues
BKF Capital Group, Inc. (OTCQB—BKFG) today released an open letter to the Board of Directors of Qualstar Corporation (NASDAQ—QBAK) in advance of a Special Meeting of Shareholders on June 20, 2012 to remove and replace the Qualstar Board. In the letter, BKF accuses the Board of once again distorting the truth about BKF and its principal, Steven Bronson, in an attempt to distract shareholders from the real issues of continually dismal performance, the problems of a business segment in decline that the Board has failed effectively to address and a purported turnaround strategy fraught with acquisition risk.
The full text of the letter follows.
June 15, 2012
To the Directors of Qualstar Corporation:
"There you go again." Yesterday you issued a press release with the eye-catching but utterly misleading title, "Qualstar Sets the Record Straight Regarding Steven Bronson's Experience and BKF's True Interests." It is clear to us that, once again, your distortions and half-truths are simply an attempt to distract the attention of Qualstar shareholders from the real issues and problems that have plagued the Company on your watch. We address each of your errant claims below, but first focus on the real issues and problems from which the Board is apparently attempting to deflect shareholder attention. Setting the Real Record Straight BKF has called for the Special Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 to remove and replace the Qualstar Board, a program endorsed by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), the premier proxy advisory firm. BKF is urging Qualstar shareholders to promptly return their GOLD proxy cards to vote FOR the proposals of BKF to remove and replace the Board —- Because, under the watch of the current Board, the Company has extended a continuous streak of unprofitability that began in 2004;
- Because, under the watch of the current Board, the Company's net revenues have continued to decline, so that they were 42% less in 2011 than they were in 2004;
- Because, under the watch of the current Board, the Company's stock price has continued to decline, so that is it over 60% lower than it was 10 years ago on a dividend adjusted basis;
- Because, under the watch of the current Board, the Company's Tape Library business continues to lose money, dragging down the fortunes of the Company;
- Because the Board is touting an acquisition strategy when it has been incapable of profitably running its primary legacy business;
- Because pursuit of acquisitions as a cover for failed management of existing businesses is a tried and true prescription for financial disaster;
- Because the Board is refusing to make a distribution to its shareholders of excess cash, instead proposing to risk that cash on an unspecified and unproven program of acquisitions as part of a dangerous turnaround strategy;
- Because, with the departure of Mr. Gervais today, the current Board owns less than 1.3% of the outstanding shares;
- Because, at the recent annual meeting of shareholders, 3 of 5 directors failed to get a majority of the votes and a substantial number of shareholders withheld their votes from the other two;
- Because the current Board has just hired as the new CEO one of its own members with no experience as the CEO of a public company, and has guaranteed him payments in the first year of $455,000 not tied to performance; and
- Because for all of these reasons, we do not trust you when you say that at long last you are going to turn the fortunes of our Company around .

Early last week, Windows8italia.com discovered references inside ntoskrnl.exe, a NT kernel file, that hint at a possible blending of the XBox 360 and Windows 8.
XBOX_360_SYSTEM_CRASH_RESERVED-- both lines were found inside one out of roughly 100.000 system files and millions of lines of code. Of course, that's all it took for the blogosphere to run amok and wildly speculate on built-in Xbox 360 support for Windows 8. And while I'm all too intrigued on the idea of switching back and forth between Outlook 15 an Gears of War 3, I just don't see it happening any time soon.
Instead of just repeating this rumor or mocking how ridiculous it sounds, I wanted to dig deeper and see if Windows 8 contained additional references and code-bits to support this theory -- and explain what an enormous undertaking it would be to properly implement Xbox 360 functionality into Windows.
The evidence: two simple Blue Screen of Death codes. Really?
What do these two references actually mean? In fact, they're nothing more and nothing less than BSoD codes -- known officially as stop errors -- that Windows calls in case anything goes wrong. You're looking at mere placeholders for two Xbox 360-related crashes. I fail to see why anyone thinks that this is even remotely connected to Xbox 360 game support or a built-in emulator. It is far more likely that the Windows 8 and the Xbox 360 kernel are growing closer together, which I'll get into later.
Out of sheer curiosity, I took apart the latest leaked Windows 8 build (7989, from the end of April 2011) as far as I could. Using binary-level search tools and disassemblers, I tried hard to find further evidence of Xbox 360 support -- but there were none. Not a single mention of Xbox 360, no support for XBG3 (the console's new disc format) and no sign of the Xbox Xenon CPU. Hell, I even looked for DLL calls only present in the Xbox 360 kernel and dozens of other Xbox hardware and software related references. Nada!
Granted, I get that not all libraries can be accessed on a binary level, and I also know that we're talking about a pre-beta build of Windows 8, which means code can be added or removed daily, but there would be at least some minor references or hints. An Xbox 360 emulator is a huge undertaking, as I'll discuss shortly; if they were playing with implementing such a feature, there would be at least some minor references -- something -- and not just two stop errors.
The question is: Could Windows in theory run Xbox 360 games natively? No. Some Xbox Games are written in .NET/XNA, so I figure they could easily be JIT compiled, but the big commercial games (such as Gears of War or Call of Duty) would need to be recompiled and adapted in case the games contain hardware-specific code. And I'm not sure this is feasible at all. So the only possible solution is emulation -- and this is where we run into big problems. Console emulators rank amongst the more complex pieces of software out there, as they need to translate custom console hardware instructions to x86. And while the Xbox runs a customized NT kernel and uses some form of DX9, its hardware is an entirely different story. An Xbox 360 emulator would need to struggle with: PowerPC emulation: The Xbox 360 is built on a Xenon, a 64-bit PowerPC CPU with three physical cores that uses the RISC instruction set. Translating its instructions would require a compiler that'd take good care to correctly translate its caches, registers and so forth. x86 CPUs would have trouble emulating some of the Xbox CPU instructions fast enough, while in other cases they'd translate things too quickly. Simply put, it's like having a human language interpreter translating a speech in real-time, with no noticeable delay, while at the same time adapting to the speaker's erratic voice patterns and speeds. Plus, you'd need at least a quad-core CPU to map all three physical cores of the Xbox 360 to your PC -- and don't forget that you've got Windows 8 and its background processes struggling for processor time, as well, so it'd be best to have at least a few spare cores. ATI R500 emulation: The built-in ATI R500 chip was great for its time (circa 2005), but it's nowhere near the GPU performance we're used to these days; the Xbox 360 GPU was clocked at 500 MHz while today's Radeon 6950 puts out more than 800 MHz. Also, its overall architecture has improved by dozen-fold: where once 16 texture units were responsible for filling textures, you're now looking at 192 of these units. Memory bandwidth also doubled. The list goes on. So shouldn't it be fairly easy to emulate the R500 GPU? Unfortunately, things are not that easy. From what I've gathered, the R500 sports some unique instructions, such as MEMEXPORT, that aren't available on desktop cards, and which are either hard or next to impossible to emulate in time. That's just two pieces of the hardware; we're still miles away from emulating the Xbox kernel and all its calls (which differ from the NT way of doing things). I highly recommend reading this description of the difficulties in creating a 3rd party Xbox 360 emulator. But for the sake of the argument, let's just assume that Microsoft's Xbox and Windows team somehow worked their magic and created an emulator capable of overcoming all translation issues. Performance is still the biggest issue. Take the Wii hardware as an example: it runs on a PowerPC CPU and ATI GPU as well, but is not nearly as powerful as the 360. It took years for developers to create the Dolphin emulator, which runs some (not even all!) Wii games and doesn't deliver smooth gameplay with anything less than a 3 GHz Core 2 Duo. And that's only emulating the puny little 729 MHz single-core PPC CPU that's built into the Wii. Compare that to the three-core 3.2 GHz architecture found in the Xbox 360. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of processors would be required for Xbox 360 games to be emulated flawlessly at 100 percent performance, but I suspect it's beyond what's available today (or even what'll be available in April 2012, when Windows 8 will reportedly hit the market). I think it's all highly unlikely, unless Microsoft really put in the resources to create a fast and flawless emulator. It's very hard to pull off, so the question is: why would they? First of all, Microsoft's "One Windows for All" mantra might play a huge role in the Xbox 360 kernel references found. What if Microsoft ditches the current Xbox kernel (xboxkrnl.exe) and replaced it with the Windows 8 kernel, possibly adding in a couple of Windows-related features to the mix, maybe as part of a future update, minor console revision or even the next-gen "Xbox 720?" Windows 8 already supports x86, x86-64, and ARM -- why not support PPC? It's all wild speculation at this point, but at least Microsoft is thinking about it and is experimenting with the technical unification of Windows 8 and Xbox 360 (and not just adapting the UI) -- otherwise these STOP errors wouldn't make any sense. A common codebase would only be helpful in order to brave the One-Windows-World. In the meantime, I have no doubt there will be an Xbox Live service built-into Windows 8 that allows users to download non-native Xbox 360 games such as parts of the Games for Windows catalog (which has recently moved to xbox.com) and play online. I just don't think that you'll be able to pop in a Xbox 360 game disc or download native console games and just play them. Sad truth.Xbox 360 emulation on Windows 8: Possible, in theory!
So what's the Xbox strategy?

We're a small company with drive in an exceptional climbing village. We want to bring you to Talkeetna, but we'll take you wherever you need to go, safely, on time, and with a laugh.
We have 3 mini vans with cargo trailers so we can take up to five at a time in each, with plenty of room for your gear. In addition we have a passenger van that holds up to 14, or can carry passengers and gear all at once. In short, we have many options to get you and your gear to your destination.
During the peak climbing and summer seasons, we're available 24 hours a day by charter.

I know there was a post about this a few weeks ago. But I can't get her jammies right! We live in a little brick house built in the 50s. The windows are pretty drafty in the house even with plastic. She's finally sleeping in her crib and any time I get her out of bed her hands are ice cold! The normal is a onesie t-shirt under a cotton layette. We swaddle her arms out in a fleece blanket. Her crib has a flannel sheet on it. I tried a fleece layette last night and she cried in the middle of the night until we changed her. When the furnace kicks on its ok in her room. But it cools off quickly. (Thermostat set at 67-70 depending on thetemp outside.) What jammies are you guys doing?

Fleece sleeper with feet and swaddled in the swaddleme with his arms and hands in. If yours likes her hands out of the swaddle maybe try mittens. I'm also in Ohio.

Footie jammies and that's it. We livein Florida. I notice Evan's hands are cold sometimes. I thought about putting those little mittens on his hands but keep forgetting!

We live in Michigan and usually do fleece pjs, with sleep sack and a swaddle over his arms. I only do arms to try and keep his little hands warm, because like you when I go into feed him they are freezing!
I would say you are doing sufficient job dressing lo, its just their little hands get cold quickly! you could always try the little mittens made for babies?

I'm in MD and do a long sleeve onesie, cotton footie sleeper, and cotton miracle blanket. On really cold nights I do a fleece sleeper.

I'm in Ontario I do either a fleece fuzzy sleeper and a swaddler or a cotton sleeper and a fleece sleep sack if its really chilly I tend to opt for the sleep sack an put an undershirt on under the sleeper. Mittens are a good idea but I think it's more dangerous for them to over hear then be chilly so I would keep doing what your doing

I'm in ND and I don't even layer my LO like pps. He is generally either in a footed sleeper or a onesie (ls or ss), but he is generally in bed with us too.. so he can get pretty sweaty in just that. When he sleeps in his PnP though I have a fleece blanket tightly tucked under the pad. His hands stay pretty cold, even in bed with us.

We did hats for awhile and she HATED IT. Cleveland is cold, and our room is over a garage, so then she's in her PnP she has a onesie, sleeper, warm blanket as a swaddle (w/o arms) and then another blanket over her and tucked under the mattress. When she inevitably makes her way to our bed we leave the blankets and she stays toasty warm w/ our comforter tucked around and under her to the waist. The hands are an issue though...

I have the fleece halo sleep sacks but I wasn't what to have her wear underneath, onesie, sleeper? She tends to be warm when she sleeps so I try not to over dress her. Generally she wear either a cotton or fleece sleeper and is swaddled in a receiving blanket. I have quite a few of the swaddled but haven't used then yet. We live in PA.
