Spaghetti and Meatballs, Lightened Up
by Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, October 12, 2009
Spaghetti and meatballs are a big deal in my family, and the idea of slimming down this traditional dish doesn't go over well. But since an average portion can have as much as 970 calories and 30 grams of fat, making it healthier when you can is smart. Just take it one step at a time.
Step 1: Pasta
The biggest problem with pasta is the super-sized portions. I cringe when I see a recipe that calls for an entire pound of pasta for four people — that's double what you should eat at a meal! One cup of cooked pasta (about two ounces of dry pasta) has about 200 calories — one to one and a half cups of cooked pasta per person is plenty.
Whole-grain pastas have about the same amount of calories as white pasta, but there's the added benefit of vitamins, protein and fiber. I know many folks aren't fond of the flavor combo of the whole-wheat pasta, which tastes nuttier, with tomato sauce. If that's you, stick to regular pasta for your spaghetti and meatballs and use the whole wheat in other dishes. You can also try experimenting with other types of whole-grain past. I'm a huge fan of brown rice pastas like Tinkyada — they have the goodness of whole grain with a milder flavor.
Step 2: Sauce
Sauce can work for you or against you. My grandfather makes the most amazing sauce, but it's typically flavored with fatty meats such as sausage in addition to the meatballs. For special occasions and family gatherings, I don't change a thing. For everyday spaghetti, I keep my sauce on the lighter side by making my own with small amounts of olive oil and lots of low-calorie tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil. Cooked tomatoes are also a great source of the antioxidant lycopene. If you're buying the jarred stuff, look for the plain varieties, not the meat- or cheese-filled ones.
Step 3: Meatballs
Most meatballs feature a combo of ground veal, beef and pork (often called "meatloaf mix"); swap that for 90% lean beef or ground turkey breast. Lean meats have less fat, which means less moisture and flavor, but you can make up for that by adding onions, mushrooms, breadcrumbs, ricotta cheese or a splash of milk to your meat mixture. Diced tofu can also help make lighter meatballs and won't affect the taste much because tofu takes on the flavors around it. Add even more pizazz with fresh herbs and spices.
Meal Prep Tip; Though tempting, pass on the extra bread sticks and piles of shredded cheese on top of your spaghetti. These easily add hundreds of calories! Try a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and pair your past with a large salad instead of bread.

I make a meat-veggie combo sauce. I use a small ammount of ground beef or turkey, cut up a zuccini, bell peppers, mushrooms (put them in when you're almost ready to serve, they only take about 5 min to cook), an onion and a can or 2 of cut or diced tomatoes. Use about 1/2 a can of hunts sauce and season. With so much veggis you can also cut down the ammount of pasta served to each person.
It is really very spicy and tasty dish. Once I eat it at my uncle's birth day party and I liked it. So I want to make it at this Christmas for my family. I searched here for this recipe tips. Thanks for this great useful site. As using your tips I can make my favourite spaghetti recipe. It is good to visit this site.
i oven bake the meatballs too, then i plop them into the sauce. i use stewed tomatoes with basil and oregano and put it into the blender for the sauce. it is delicious and absolutely low in fat. i also use ground meat that is 92-93% lean.
hmmm…I am making Dom DeLuise's Mama's Meatball recipe, using 2/3rds half lean ground beef or most recently ground sirloin and 1/3rd ground pork which I thought was much leaner these days. The recipe also calls for chopped garlic, finely chopped onion, eggs, milk, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, & seasonings such as salt & pepper to taste, also pinenuts & parsley which I generally don't add. I think this is a traditional recipe. My guys love it. I too have made meatballs in the smaller cupcake pans & baked them in the oven, have also foil lined a broiling pan & used that for baking the meatballs. The last time I made this recipe I used 3 pounds total of meat but have used a big bowl to make 5 pounds which lets me make plenty enough to freeze at least half. With 4 sons & my husband & myself & maybe a son's girlfriend or other friends I need to make up a good amount. Usually everyone gets 4 or 5 meatballs & there are so many people eating that cuts the amount of spaghetti noodles. We are always looking for ways to improve our health. thanks for the suggestions everyone!
using 2/3rds lean ground beef & 1/3 pork in the above. He suggests using turkey or other lean meats to make these meatballs, patties or meatloaf (a lot less work).
soaked in what?
Thanks for the great ideas, Stacey!
water to regain their plumpness and make them easier to chew i the meatballs
I love spaghetti squash too! Any kind of squash actually. I think it's great that you didn't mention butter or margarine on it! That cuts out a lot of bad things. And I know tomatos are good for you but the sauce can have lots of additives if you don't make your own. Sometimes I just use cut up tomato when in season. But I know pasta is great without sauce too.
Just wanted you to know that I think this is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Hi everyone,
I've recently noticed that our car is doing lower than normal mpg.
Our Ford Fusion 1.6v auto (05 plate) used to gt around 27mpg urban.
It's now dropped to around 22-23mpg. At the pump I always put in 8.25ltr (around 2 gallons), so the cost of petrol has nothing to do with it.
There's no leaks and the tyres are correct inflation.
Hope someone can shed a light on this.

High season in the Wine Country extends from April to October. If you travel between July and September, expect the days to be hot and dry, the roads filled with cars, and tasting rooms mobbed with visitors.
In summer and early fall, it's often necessary to book smaller hotels a month or more in advance, and discounts are rare. November, except for Thanksgiving week, and December before Christmas are less busy, in part because the winter rains will have started.
The weather in Napa and Sonoma is pleasant nearly year-round, and even winter is comparatively mild. Daytime temperatures average from about 55°F during winter to the 80s in summer, when readings in the 90s and higher are common. April, May, and October are milder but still warm. Fall morning are cool but temperatures can rise quickly.
The Wine Country celebrates the year's harvest with fairs and festivals. Here are a few high-profile events throughout the year.
Auction Napa Valley. Dozens of events culminate in the Napa Valley's glitziest night—an opulent dinner and auction of rare wines and other coveted items. It's held every year over the first full weekend in June. www.auctionnapavalley.org.
Flavor! Napa Valley. Several days of dinners, cooking demonstrations, and wine-and-food tastings—many involving top chefs and winemakers—take place the week before Thanksgiving. www.flavornapavalley.com.
Napa Valley Festival del Sole. This acclaimed mid-July event attracts international opera, theater, dance, and musical performers to Castello di Amorosa and other venues. www.festivaldelsole.org.
Pinot on the River. Pinot Noir fans flock to the Russian River Valley in late October for a grand weekend of tastings, seminars, and lively discourse about what makes a great Pinot. www.pinotfestival.com.
Sonoma County Harvest Fair. This festival at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa celebrates agriculture in Sonoma County with wine and olive-oil competitions, cooking demos, livestock shows, carnival rides, local entertainers, and the perennially popular Harvest Dog Dash. www.harvestfair.org.
Wine Road Barrel Tasting Weekends. In early March, more than 100 wineries open their cellars for tastings of wines right out of the barrels. www.wineroad.com.
Winter Wineland. On the Saturday and Sunday of Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend, nearly all the northern Sonoma County wineries—including many not generally open to the public—offer tastings, seminars, and entertainment. www.wineroad.com.

POSTED: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 - 9:51pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 - 9:52pm
Fort Bliss — The 1st Armored Division and Fort Bliss Public Affairs Office released a statement Wednesday regarding the Farrey missing family case.
In the statement, they said, "Fort Bliss officials extradited Specialist Jeffrey Farrey from Michigan to El Paso today. He was then transferred to custody of the El Paso Police Department who is holding him on a warrant. Fort Bliss has neither jurisdiction nor information regarding Jenna Farrey's extradition."
The statement summarized Farrey's service in the Army. He joined the Army in 2010 and graduated from training to become an infantryman the same year.
Fort Bliss was his first duty station; he arrived in 2011 and was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 41st Infantry Regiment, Third Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division.
Farrey deployed to eastern Afghanistan from September 2011 through July 2012.
Farrey began training again earlier this year for another scheduled deployment this winter.
Specialist Farrey's awards include the Army Commendation Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Afghan Campaign Medal with Campaign Star, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the NATO Medal, and the Combat Infantryman's Badge.

Welcome back to another New Release Reviews for Dark Horse Comics. This is a pretty solid week, though, strangely none are must-haves and the Star Wars title was kind of middle of the road. As always … titles are scored on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the
very best possible. We take the time to read these books so your time
isn't wasted.
Willow - Issue 5 (of 5)
This issue feels like one
long argument between characters which got kind of boring after a while.
Sure, it was wrapped around a magic duel but the magic was less
important than Willow's growth. A clear distinction is made about Willow
and Dark Willow which seems obvious but was lost on Ms. Rosenberg.
Additionally, a fine resolution was given to deal with the drought of
magic in Willow's home dimension.
It's a nice decision
to not resolve things in one fell swoop. This will extended the story
dynamics and it will create new ones and Willow's value has skyrocketed.
The interior artwork is excellent in that it mixes mundane and magical
quite well, and still had a personality of its own. The covers are
great. Especially the David Mack one which is breathtaking.
Score: 8 out of 10
Star Wars Dark Times : Fire Carrier - Issue 2 (of 5)
This is about as pedestrian a Star Wars story as any other. Manufactured drama and charactes getting wound up over the strangest things. Weird guilt by Jedis further emphasizes the destructive presence of Jedis in Star Wars stories. They just aren't very entertaining. And the stuff with Vader training the assassin seems way to goofy to play right. The look is adequate. The cover is alright.
Score: 6 out of 10
Hellboy In Hell - Issue 4
History and memory are the key themes with this series. It might be a mini-series but it's not clear. The history lessons are very interesting as one character reveals himself, though the secret of what happened with Jack The Ripper still isn't answered. The other half if Hellboy's inability to recall if he truly killed Satan. I think most of us would like to be able to remember doing that.
The story doesn't resolve cleanly. Not everything seems finished as Hellboy just seems to hang around a deserted hell. At least the artwork is excellent. Same with the cover. Can't imagine Hellboy without Mike Mignola artwork.
Score: 8 out of 10
47 Ronin - 3 (of 5)
Given Stan Sakai's involvement, as well as the historical value of the story, this should be a home-run. Strangely it isn't. Sakai's artwork is as fantastic as it always is. Unfortunately, the pacing of this series is a slow build to a quick ending when it needed to be the other way around. The characters seems rich and noble (or rotten) but they're almost impossible to tell apart. Motives are odd for the good guys and bad. It's a classic tale but maybe one not meant for Western sensibilities.
Score: 7 out of 10
Colder - Issue 5 (of 5)
This issue concluded this fascinating mini-series in a somewhat disappointing way. The prior issues were a hug build-up to a very pedestrian ending. Other than waking up, and possibly admitting he was just like the villain, the hero of the story was extremely passive through much of the story. Supposedly, love made him crazy violent. Not that it mattered as the villain was seemingly unstoppable.
Probably the best thing about this series is the artwork. Taking nothing away from a lot of story-points which had some great moments, the artwork is amazing. The art team has obvious skill as detail is high and characters are expressive. Additionally, the creativity is evident with the unusual layouts. It's quite imaginative and makes the readers work a bit. The covers are outstanding in their disturbing qualities.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
Hellboy, usually a high-point, was just a little too abstract to jump up and down about. Would like to see less issues of 47 Ronin, as well. Stop back next week for more reviews.

Somic HD MH463 Open-air Dynamic Pro Headphones (Black)
"Firstly, a big thank you to Joe for helping me get a pair of MH463s . I've had them now for over 4 months. These are my thoughts.

As established though, long term comfort isn't great: the cups are just too shallow. Most will probably buy..." --Naschy

Somic EFi82MT
" As per my thread on the Somic EFi-82 MT: In 2010, there was Superlux. In early 2012, there was Jaycar. Several months ago, there was JVC's HA-S line. Head-Fi's ability to find mid-fi headphones at downright laughable prices has always been commendable.

" "An awesome headset for gaming, but for gaming only" would be an accurate one-line resume of this headphone.

Retail is ripe for innovation, but are consumers really hungry for it? The latest Omnichannel Shopping Preferences study from A.T. Kearney seeks to answer that, but the findings may surprise the droves of brands making huge investments in digital commerce.
The survey of 2,500 US shoppers found that physical retail stores play a crucial role in online purchasing habits, with 55 percent of shoppers preferring to use both physical stores and online retail throughout the shopping journey.
The study makes for an even greater argument for omnichannel retail. "A strategy based on leveraging the appeal of the physical store supported by digital is the best formula for capturing the maximum number of sales, building sustainable customer loyalty, and creating opportunities to cross-sell," study co-author Michael Brown said.
While online-only brands like Birchbox continue to experiment with physical retail spaces, traditional retail brands are also finding fun, innovative ways to combine the ease of online shopping with the brand experience of brick-and-mortar.Continue reading...

The days of the classic candy-and-chip vending machine have been gone for years now. These days, you can get cupcakes, slices of pizza, heads of lettuce, mashed potatoes and fresh-squeezed juice from the dang things.
You can't blame any brand from getting in on the trend. After all, a vending machine provides a full-blown ad right at the point of purchase and is the ultimate grab-and-go service for customers. Chanel has gotten into the act with a new vending machine at one of London's Selfridges department stores that shells out three shades of a new mascara, Le Volume de Chanel Mascara, until May 8, according to British Vogue.
Of course, you can't stuff this attitudinal machine with any old coins. Naturellement, there is a special Chanel-logo coin that consumers need to get first in order to make the purchase, Refinery29.com reports.Continue reading...

Coca-Cola has been getting very serious about its "Open Happiness" campaign. Now it may even be ready to try to beat swords into plowshares—or at least into vending machines.
Ad Age reports that a big announcement "is coming soon" about a "major project" for the brand, possibly involving vending machines that will virtually connect consumers in India and Pakistan, two countries that long have had sectarian, sometimes bloody, differences. As depicted in a teaser video that Coke released in December, the machines would use video technology so that users in the two countries could see each other and "touch hands virtually," the magazine reported.
"The idea," Ad Age continued, "is that it could roll out to various countries in conflict."Continue reading...

Like specialty food trucks, vending machines seem to be having a little bit of a resurgence in the past few years. You've got your cupcake vending machine; a machine that will spin cotton candy for you right there; and Pepsi's next generation vending machine will charge your mobile device, send virtual gifts, and allow you to play games.
Now, through the wonders of modern technology, Coke has built webcams and Microsoft Kinect sensors into some of its vending machines so that it can give free colas to anybody who shakes a tailfeather for it, according to SingularityHub.com.
The whole effort has been helped by the efforts of South Korean boy band 2PM, whose virtual selves help lead consumers through some dance moves that will result in some caffeine at no charge. Sweet.

Now that PepsiCo has begun marketing in its flagship Pepsi brand in a much more significant way this year, investors, analysts and other pundits are giving PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi the benefit of the doubt as she continues to unfold her strategy for making the company a major player in better-for-you markets rather than just a traditional purveyor of snack foods and soda beverages. From Australia to India, from vending machines to sweeteners to ad agencies, PepsiCo is pushing to innovate.
Case in point: PepsiCo just announced a pilot rollout of its Pepsi Interactive Vending machine pilot program, allowing consumers in a handful of U.S. locations to not only buy a beverage, but also send virtual gifts, play games and even charge their mobile devices. In addition to buying a Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist Natural, Aquafina or Lipton Green Tea, users can also gift a 20-ounce bottled beverage to a friend by entering the recipient's name and email along with a personalized message. That person, in turn, can send a gift back to the gift-giver — or pay it forward by sending their own gift to another friend.
The next-generation social vending machine is "part of a broader global platform of equipment innovation we're developing to engage consumers," stated Mikel Durham, PepsiCo's Global Growth officer. "The pilot launch of our Interactive Vending equipment is an exciting step in transforming the point-of-purchase experience," added Margery Schelling, the company's Global Innovation officer.Continue reading...

Vending machines, long the home of candy and sodas, are changing rapidly. Technology is now allowing for credit- and debit-card enabled machines to offer fresh fruit, yogurt, and other such healthy alternatives instead of just the sugarfests of old.
So consumers across the land can take a gander at this new generation of vending machines, the National Automatic Merchandising Association is taking 20 newfangled machines to six major cities to show 'em off, according to Crain's New York Business.
NAMA's "The Gratitude Tour" started in Boston, stopped off in New York and is due to finish up its travels in Madison, WI, today. Along the way, it also stopped in Atlanta; Austin, TX; Phoenix, and Minneapolis.
The idea behind the mobile branding campaign, according to the organization's website, is to hit cities that have large university and Gen-Y populations.Continue reading...

PepsiCo's new vending machines dispense more than beverages.
As unveiled at the National Automatic Merchandising Association's One Show in Chicago this week, the state-of-the-art networked unit features touch screen interactive vending technology, enabling consumers to "better connect with PepsiCo brands right at the point of purchase."
Users choose a beverage, then enter a recipient's name and mobile number, and add a personalized text message with a code redeemable at another vending machine for the drink.Continue reading...

The pleasure of lunching or dining at Massoletti's is a manifold one. It means good food, excellent drinks, fine service, and the over-all stamp of the delightful personality which has developed with the spot. I am certain that no other restaurant of such magnitude purveys the same characteristic tinge of hospitality. Massoletti's is open for luncheon and dinner five days a week. Dinner is served until eight o'clock. No parking problem at night, either.
If your dear Aunt Tabitha or your maiden sister should arrive for the summer holidays and the ordinary forms of sight-seeing seem to pall on both of you, treat yourself to luncheon in the Washington Market. Go to St. Paul's Chapel first and brush up on your history about the site of the old Washington Market and why the present one is in the spot it has occupied for lo, these many years. Then take a tour of the booths with all the tempting game and fish and vegetables which are perfectly displayed.
For the climax, try luncheon in the tiny Petrosino restaurant in the market, situated on the west side just across from the Petrosino fish stalls. Note the tank of live eels and the lobsters of various sizes from babies to Gargantuan types. Order any fish you see in the market—if they don't have it in the kitchen, they will send across the way for it. Furthermore, they will prepare it as you wish—sautéed in butter or fried in deep fat. I prefer the former. And there are always choice shrimp or crab meat or lobster or clams or oysters in season with which to toy while awaiting your main course. Nothing fancy, mind you, but everything honest, plus amusing atmosphere. Beer is available, always a complement to fish. If you must have dessert, wander around to the bake-shop and pick what you want and munch as you walk along.
If the simple life of the market does not appeal to you, wander a couple of blocks to Whyte's, (145 Fulton Street, near Broadway). This is one of the plushier of the downtown spots and a restaurant which seems to emphasize space and size without being robbed of personality. Remember this about the large downtown restaurants, such as Whyte's. They must depend upon repeat business day after day, and in so doing they are obliged to maintain a high standard. Here you will find excellent sea food dishes—I have always had a real preference for their finnan haddie and their lobster dishes as well as their cold salmon. And speaking of cold salmon, I wish some restaurateur would do an excellent dill sauce for the king of the fishes.
There is also a goodly sprinkling of meat dishes at Whyte's, if you will spurn the fruits of the sea; however, they pride themselves on the fish and shellfish selections. Wonderful Martinis, too, for the addict.

PDASmart (www.pdasmart.com) has begun offering an upgrade service for owners of 5th gen 30gb, 60gb, and 80gb video iPods that will replace the existing hard drive with a 100gb Toshiba model. The newer, more efficient hard drive released at this year's Consumer Electronic's Expo uses less power than the existing hard drive in your iPod, which means more storage space (for approximately 25,000! songs) and also longer battery life. Read on for the pricing, the procedure, and the warranty information.
The upgrade is totally internal, and requires no software additions or plugins to use the new hard drive. PDASmart is also guaranteeing 100% compatibility with current iPod accessories, a definite plus. Owners of the 60gb and 80gb versions will notice no external changes because the hard drive is no larger than the current hard drive, but owners of the 30gb version will be given a slightly larger backplate to account for the added size of the new hard drive (a small inconvenience for 30gb users considering it more than triples your storage space). If you want to do the upgrade yourself, the do-it-yourself toolkit comes with all the necessary components, including the hard drive. Otherwise, for a small surcharge and shipping fees, you can send it into the PDASmart repair center and their technicians will handle it for you.
Pricing is a little steep, but worth it if you want the added storage without buying a whole new iPod. 60gb and 80gb versions are $275 for off-site installation, plus shipping. The 30gb version is slightly more expensive at $299, considering the need for a new backplate. The Toshiba hard drive itself carries a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, while PDASmart has a 90-day warranty should something go wrong immediately after the upgrade.

These work perfectly inside the window frame. We were not sure if we even wanted curtains on these particular windows, however, these rods allowed us to have them without mounting the rods and creating holes in the trim. Love the curtains being hung without damage to the wood trim!
If you want a rod with enough tension to stay in place without screws this is not it. The tension does not hold it in place it comes with screws.
I shop Overstock.com because I thought I was getting a good deal. Upon opening this product, I found a XXX XXXX & XXXXXX sticker on the box that is $XX less than what I paid for it on-line! I'm returning it and heading to the bricks and mortar store!
We bought this for an area underneath our stairs where a door could not be installed. It worked great and easy to install.
My only complaint about this rod is that it doesn't stay put. After a while it tends to loosen up and will fall with the slightest touch on the shower curtain. It's a pretty rod which compliments my bathroom though.
I don't have the curtains for this yet, sadly, but having used many types of curtain rods, this is a winner. Very simple to install using the tension rod feature. I won't be using the screw mount at this apartment, but likely it will work well also if I need it later. Great design, great construction. Enjoy.
Nice sturdy substantial rod...a little pricy but good quality I used them so I didn't have to put holes in my beautiful molding. They worked great!
simple to install, curtains have been up for a week without any issues 2 panels fit nicely and the rod stays in place

New York Magazine)"/> New York Magazine)" /> New York Magazine)" />
One-half brooding crime novel, one-half classic by "literature's new patron saint" (Sam Anderson, New York Magazine)
Set in the seaside town of Z, on the Costa Brava, north of Barcelona, The Skating Rink oscillates between two poles: a camp ground and a ruined mansion, the Palacio Benvingut. The story, told by three male narrators, revolves around a beautiful figure skating champion, Nuria Martí. When she is suddenly dropped from the Olympic team, a pompous but besotted civil servant secretly builds a skating rink in the ruined Palacio Benvingut, using public funds. But Nuria has affairs, provokes jealousy, and the skating rink becomes a crime scene. A mysterious pair of women, an ex-opera singer and a taciturn girl often armed with a knife, turn up as well. A complex book, The Skating Rink's short chapters are skillfully broken off with questions to maintain the narrative tension: Who was murdered? Who was the murderer? Will the murderer be caught? All of these questions are answered, and yet The Skating Rink is not fundamentally a crime novel, or not exclusively; it's also about political corruption, sex, the experience of immigration, and frustrated passion. And it's an atmospheric chronicle of one summer season in a seaside town, with its vacationers, its drifters, its businessmen, bureaucrats and social workers.

Bryan McFarlane is a true global artist that understands the impact of living in a global culture. His work is a process of exploration and dissection of the varying aspects of our world. His scientific approach to his subjects and his relentless efforts to access the truth in his work make him a perfect artist to work in coordination with members of the scientific community. His art creates a visual treat for the eye, allowing you to contemplate the subject matter in ways outside of our normal modes of thinking. Bryan's ability to perceive and integrate irreconcilable forces in his work is an intellectual and visual feat that will allow him to transcend the boundaries that lie between art and science. His ability to abstract ideas and subject matter allow him to approach the ideas of oceanography with the same fresh perspective he brings to all of his work. Bryan's inclusion in Synergy brings with it the excitement of seeing Bryan's unique vision applied to the cutting edge ideas of oceanography. In Bryan's words... [Synergy] poses quite an interesting challenge working with a subject larger than one person...I am open to extending my medium into photography or even film, or any other experimental medium that will underscore the project with 'current technologies. I have a long and committed interest in the intersection of the practice of art making, art history and contemporary critical discussion. As an artist, I have been fortunate to receive several previous grants that allowed me to travel extensively to Brazil ; Columbia ; West Africa; Turkey ; Japan and China to engage in international discourse regarding art history, art production and criticism. My engagement with the arts is also an intellectual endeavor. At every point, I have sought not simply to create art, but to understand the implications and possibilities for art within art history, criticism and philosophy as an intrinsic part of travel for art production. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Negotiators signed off on the bipartisan payroll tax deal this afternoon, paving the way for Congress to approve an extension of the tax holiday, reform unemployment insurance and extend the so-called doc fix for physicians treating Medicare patients through the end of the year.
After coming to terms in the midnight hour early this morning, members of the conference committee gathered in the Capitol with Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., the top two leaders on the panel, to sign the conference report Thursday afternoon.
"We have a majority, a majority of the members. It's a done deal. It's done," Baucus, D-Mont., proclaimed as he flashed two thumbs up to video cameras gathered to capture the moment. "For America! It's teamwork."
But so far, no Senate Republicans have signed off on the agreement, objecting because they believe they were shut out of the final negotiations. For some conferees, it was a surprise that no Republican senators had signed off on the deal so far.
"Aren't they going to sign it?" Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., asked Baucus as they walked out of the conference room after signing the report.
"I don't think so," Baucus whispered. "Jon [Kyl] told me he's not going to do it."
Camp, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, deflected questions about Senate Republicans resisting the bipartisan compromise, calling the breakthrough a "positive moment" and declining to comment directly about the Senate GOP's concerns.
"The majority of the House has signed the conference report, so I'll continue to work with the Senate to see where we are at the end of the day, but I'm glad at least on the House side we have a majority," Camp said. "The conference report is done and I'm confident that we'll get the signatures we need to move this to the floor."
The deal prevents a two-percent tax increase on middle-class families. Over the course of the year, an individual earning $50,000 would enjoy a pay increase by $1,000 as a result of the extension. This aspect of the deal was not offset with spending reductions, adding about $100 billion to the deficit.
Aides close to the negotiations said the deal would also extend the doc fix through the end of the year, averting a 27.4 percent cut to physician payment rates and ensuring seniors and the disabled have continued access to the physicians serving our Medicare beneficiaries.
Furthermore, the agreement reforms unemployment insurance depending on the unemployment rate. Most states will receive a maximum of 63 weeks of benefits, compared to 46 states currently receiving 93 weeks of benefits now. But for states with higher unemployment rates, compensation is slowly reduced periodically over the next year, from 99 weeks through May, and up to 73 weeks of relief through December.
The deal also enables states to drug screen and test anyone who lost their job because they failed or refused an employer drug test, or who is seeking a job that generally requires a drug test. To help offset the extension of unemployment insurance, the agreement also requires new civilian federal employees and members of Congress to contribute more towards their defined benefit pension programs.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, was also surprised to learn that Senate Republicans felt shut out of the negotiations.
"Everything that I've seen they've been [as] involved in the process as anybody else," Boehner said. "There was an awful lot of conversation going on. As a matter of fact, if I recall correctly, there were two or three public meetings where they were all present, so for someone to say they weren't involved really would surprise me."
The speaker said that he is working with members on both sides of the aisle to determine how quickly the House could vote to pass the deal. The Senate is expected to vote Friday.
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., urged the speaker to bring the bill to the House floor for a vote Friday before Congress skips town for a week-long President's Day recess.
"It would be important to bring it up tomorrow because I don't think the American people can wait another day." Pelosi said. "We should bring it up as soon as possible so all doubt is removed that we will have a tax cut for 160 million Americans, that unemployment insurance will continue for our workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own and that seniors can see their doctors under Medicare."
Pelosi also indicated that she believed her caucus could support the legislation.
"The fact that we have the three features that we asked for," she said. "I don't see a scenario where our members will vote against it."
After battling Democrats for months over the particulars of how to offset the costs of the extensions, Boehner blamed President Obama for failing to repair the economy and leading Congress into a corner where lawmakers had little choice but to pass an economic relief package.
"Let's be honest. This is an economic relief package, not a bill that's going to grow the economy and create jobs," Boehner said. "Last fall, I said that the only reason we're even talking about a payroll tax break or an extension of unemployment benefits is because the president's economic policies have failed. I still believe that to be the case today."
Boehner signaled that he intends to support the agreement, but said the deal would have been unnecessary had the president followed through on his promises to improve the economy.
"That judgment's not made based on my standard," Boehner said. "The president said that if we passed his stimulus bill that we passed three years ago, unemployment would not exceed 8 percent. He also predicted that at this point in the recovery, unemployment would be at six percent. He claimed that his stimulus bill would create millions of jobs immediately, yet there are about 4 million Americans who have lost their job since."
The speaker criticized the White House for calling the payroll tax credit extension its last must-do item on the president's agenda before next fall's election, and he urged President Obama and Senate Democrats to consider more of the GOP's House-passed legislation that they believe would spur job creation.
"For those of you who haven't noticed, the president checked out last Labor Day and has been unengaged in leading our country ever since. It's been one non-stop campaign trip after another," Boehner said. "He can campaign all he wants, but the Republicans are going to stay focused on jobs and the types of pro-growth policies that will help small businesses grow and put Americans back to work."

Britney Spears has done it again. . .another fashion no-no.
Britney recently attended an MTV party, dressed in the following: a diamante bow-tie necklace, an off-the-shoulder-micro-mini t-shirt carrying the words 'Page SixSixSix', patterned leggings, a short black skirt with the designer's name emblazoned in red across the back and black stilettos.
"The outfit was interesting, to say the least" an onlooker said.
"It looked as though she had just pulled lots of different things out of her wardrobe at random. Where is her stylist? Someone really should have a word with her."

Political Animal
Over the last several weeks, polls have been pretty consistent about public attitudes on jobs: Americans are desperate to see Washington act, and they're broadly supportive of the ideas proposed by Democrats. The latest numbers from CNN confirms this, but this poll adds an important twist.
CNN asked respondents for their take on each of the ideas in the American Jobs Act — payroll tax cut, jobs for teachers/first responders, infrastructure investments, unemployment aid, increased taxes on millionaires and billionaires — and every component enjoyed broad support. Indeed, the two most popular ideas were increased taxes on the wealthy (76% support) and aid to states to save public-sector jobs (75% support).
But it's worth taking the next step and looking at the cross-tabs (pdf). We can see, for example, what Republicans think about these same ideas, and appreciate the massive disconnect between GOP voters and the GOP lawmakers presumably reflecting their wishes.
Here, for example, is the breakdown of what self-identified Republican voters think of the components of President Obama's American Jobs Act, as it currently exists in the U.S. Senate:
Do you favor or oppose "cutting the payroll tax for all American workers"?
Republicans in favor: 58%
Republicans opposed: 40%
Do you favor or oppose "providing federal money to state governments to allow them to hire teachers and first responders"?
Republicans in favor: 63%
Republicans opposed: 36%
Do you favor or oppose "increasing federal spending to build and repair roads, bridges, and schools"?
Republicans in favor: 54%
Republicans opposed: 46%
Do you favor or oppose "increasing federal aid to unemployed workers"?
Republicans in favor: 36%
Republicans opposed: 63%
Do you favor or oppose "increasing the taxes paid by people who make more than one million dollars a year"?
Republicans in favor: 56%
Republicans opposed: 43%
Remember, overall, each of these ideas enjoy broad national support, but I'm highlighting the opinions of Republicans only. And in four of the five key parts to the Democratic plan, self-identified GOP voters approve of Obama's ideas, in some cases by wide margins.
I mention this in part to show just how mainstream the American Jobs Act is, but also to note the chasm between Republican voters and Republican policymakers. With 63% of the GOP's rank-and-file supporting, for example, aid to states to protect teachers' and first responders' jobs, it's tempting to think at least some GOP lawmakers in Washington would support the idea. But in reality, that's just not the case — literally zero Republicans on Capitol Hill are willing to even allow a vote on a popular jobs idea, during a jobs crisis, that even their own party's voters strongly support.
Congratulations, congressional Republicans. You're now far more extreme than your own supporters.
Post a comment-
So the one thing Republican voters don't go for, the thing that distinguishes them from Democratic voters, is extending aid to the unemployed. They really don't like that.
And the Republican politicians manage to leverage the fuck out of that basic selfishness of their constituents.
You almost have to admire that.
I'm guessing reality is gonna smack these a-holes in the face in the not so far off future.
Even dim wit Eric Cantor can smell the change in the air:
"Top Republican to address income disparity as "Occupy" protests continue"
But of course we know addressing income disparity means giving deeper tax cuts to the wealthy and fewer regulations. I really think people are starting to see through this garbage. Obama didn't help himself with the austerity bs, but he seems to have shifted course nicely, and well, better late than never.
Oh, how I loathe these republicans in congress. They're just greedy scum.
Not to beat a dead horse, but the main difference between the average Dem and the average Rep is not values. It is information. Ask these same Republicans if they like anything about Obama's proposals, and they will undoubtedly say "NO" by a margin of 5 to 1.
Hidden in those poll numbers, is that 27% - the true fascist ignorati base.
They are the ones who go out to vote in the primaries.
And they are the ones who determine who wins that primary and represents the RepubliCONFEDERATE Party in the general elections.
And there's something that's not quite human about that 27% base.
They are aptly named, because they are base. -
And the Republican politicians manage to leverage the fuck out of that basic selfishness of their constituents.
It's not selfishness they leverage. It's ignorance. They convince people that only lazy people or slutty single moms are unemployed for more than two weeks. And it's strange how people can empathize with their neighbors, but still think that around the country, everybody is just gaming the system.
To paraphrase a famous Democrat, where are the Republican voters going to go. As long as they are motivated to vote against that black president, they don't really care that their leaders are hurting them and the rest of us.
Don't forget for a minute the effects of Obama derangement on the average Republican voter. They are willing to hurt themselves and their children to get at Obama.
Breaking up the AJA and bringing each component to the Senate is looking smart. The difficulty will be getting past the procedural hurdles as the GOP will drag out everything on the calendar.
I think they left out a basic question:
I will vote Republican in the next election regardless of who the candidate is?
Republicans in favor: 100%
Republicans opposed: 0% -
And it's strange how people can empathize with their neighbors, but still think that around the country, everybody is just gaming the system.
Most likely their neighbors aren't blackity black. In the Confederate mythology, it's the urban centers that are leaching off the honest, hard working, pickup truck driving American. Of course, a quick look at state contributions into the Federal system dispels that myth.
OK, Danp, I bow to your more generous characterization of Republican voters. Ignorance, distempered by fear.
"Congratulations, congressional Republicans. You�re now far more extreme than your own supporters."
Not really. Oh, sure, the middle class white collar workers may not agree, but the real supporters of the GOP are the big money donors who can give millions of unregulated dollars. That gives them the attack ads to buy as many of the rubes' votes as they need.
talking GOP disconnect...on all areas they just can't work their "policy" around real life.
Take Michael McCaul, a GOPer House Rep in Texas. Yesterday he was "investigating" why it took the Federal Government so long to respond to the Texas wildfire disaster. Yet, of course, he was on board with the Cantor "no disaster money without cutting social programs" thing in the House ( which failed thankfully). So they want the MONEY but they don't want to PAY for it. So GOP. -
It's the same old duality. Republicans like the policies, but the politics demands that Obama get nothing that will improve the economy. So we get rants about what the voters like, or that the policies were originally supported by Republicans in past years. It's a waste of time. None of them will be enacted during the Obama administration no matter how sensible. Republicans want a bad economoy for 2012.
If you want to see the 'opposed' numbers go way up, rephrase the questions to add "if someone could call this a 'win' for President Obama" at the end of each question.
When politics is seen as only a game, when elections are only a horserace, when party affiliation is more important than (or even perhaps a prerequisite for) national identity, then the 1% will always be able to manipulate the ignorant and the lickspittles into voting against their own best interests.
With all sounds played for the fuzzy fury of a televised Madison Avenue conundrum finishing a house of sound built on sand . The age is showing on the body politic , and the typical reaction is denial of an aging plants inefficiency , with a promise to work harder , reinforcing physical impossibilities that hurt one day more at sunrise .
The time it takes to realize the pain we are suffering from is insulation from Pogo's shock , "We have the met the enemy , and he is us" .
Two shocks in one realization the brain protects us from .
Republicans ?
We have to protect them from themselves . -
Good points overall, but: is it really such a good idea to cut payroll tax, to any degree, ever? We all know the PT funds Social Security, and so supporters are saying "oh, it will be temporary ...." ... but so were the Bush tax cuts. Once cut (yeah, even with "built in expiration" - like the BTCs!) it's hard to walk back. And then what? With less revenue coming into Social Security, the program will be easier to attack as undefunded, replace, divert the "temporary reduction" into some private account, and so on. Don't do it, or watch real hard what's already in the pipeline - "at the end of the day", this scheme is bad news.
"Fine minds make find distinctions."
I must question the wording on the unemployment issue. Asked the way it was, it appears that they were asking respondents if they were in favor of an INCREASE in unemployment compensation. I'm perplexed as to why they didn't word it as an EXTENSION.
It seems to me that the poor wording on this one crucial question can be used against continued relief for the chronically unemployed. That is unacceptable. CNN should be forced to redo this portion of the survey.
The same thing hit me, Karen. Whatever the wording or intent is of the bill is how the question should be asked. While I don't remember exactly what that is (and don't have time to check), based on everything Obama has done prior, it's probably along the lines of increasing funds to extend benefits. To extend benefits. If so, CNN didn't do a good job of re-phrasing.
I agree, with all the points make. But would stood out for me most is the fact, that they (repubs. voters) agree with the majority of the AJA, the bigger problem is that they can't stand the person who have propose these ideas aka (Pres. Obama)...
Which bring home another question, 1. If majority repubs. agree with the AJA, then why are they pushing their representives vote on the bill? 2. Is it the Pres. or the party? 3. Why aren't msm asking these questions as well as the pollisters? 4. Why aren't OWS protesters pushing for this? 5. Have anyone in the media who supposely been at the protesters ask these questions?
Because you incorrectly label them "Republican Policymakers." They have made no efforts to actually create policy, but simply oppose anything that Obama endorses or supports, even if it is an idea/policy that was proposed or supported by a Republican.
Ensuring Obama is a 1 term president is their ONLY objective...but I believe the American people will understand that that is an irresponsible way to govern.
I'm so easily confused! For months (years?) I've been told that the Tea Party and other radical elements have been pulling Republican elected officials hard to the right. Now seemingly those officials have leapfrogged their own supporters. Or have Republican voters been moving stealthily leftward recently? I can't keep up!
Based on their answers to the poll questions, it's starting to look as if the Republican/Teabaggers in DC may have outsmarted themselves.
They ran on a platform of providing jobs; they have provided NO jobs. The Democrats have proposed legislation that, with one exception, a majority of the respondents support. The Republican/Teabaggers in DC are determined NOT to allow any of these things to become law.
If the poll results are accurate, and if the Republican/Teabaggers in DC continue their obstruction, how are Republican/Teabagger polticians going to lure those to the polls? How many of those voters, while likely NOT voting for any Democrats, may stay home rather than reward any politician/s deliberately risking their constituents' employment? Especially if the Republican/Teabaggers cause a second recession?
Interesting times... -
Yes, they thought they saw a winning surge and tried to not only surf it but to make it swell. They miscalculated. How is this hard to keep up with for anyone? -
"Extreme" is not the word. Republican lawmakers are more plutocratic than Republicans polled. But so are Democratic lawmakers more plutocratic than Democratic rank and file. Remember, on these votes the Democrats know the bill is going to fail, so they can vote yes; their big-money backers understand that the lawmakers have to appear populist and they tolerate this when it doesn't count. It would be interesting to see from some actual contested votes whether Democrat or Republican lawmakers (and Presidents) are more plutocratic with respect to their party constituents.

Hello, everyone. I was an atheist until at the age of 27 I began to study the Bible in order to debunk it. I learned quickly that the Bible was grossly misrepresented by apostate Christendom's adoption of pagan teachings such as the immortal soul from Socrates, the trinity from Plato, the cross from Constantine, hell from Dante and Milton, Easter from Astarte, Christmas from the winter solstice celebrations, and most recently the Rapture from Darby.
Though I have never and will never be a part of organized religion, my beliefs are not entirely dissimilar to that of The Jehovah's Witnesses, due to the removal of the aforementioned pagan influence. I have studied briefly the history of the major world religions, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shintoism and Taoism and have published sacred and non-sacred texts from each of these online: The Dhammapada, Four Noble Truths, Paradise Lost, Divine Comedy, Analects Of Confucius, Bhagavad Gita, Qur'an, Pirqe Aboth, Nihongi, Kojiki, Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu.
Having been an atheist most of my life and given that nearly everyone I know is atheist, I think I understand and respect where most of you are coming from. I don't believe in "converting" anyone to anything, but I do think the atheist tends to be mislead when it comes to the Bible. Not that that matters much, except for that I do enjoy, given the opportunity, to correct them in thoughtful and polite discussion and debate.
I hope we can have some interesting conversations.
You say that because you don't know the Bible very well. Some of the most informed atheists I have encountered online are history buffs. They don't believe the Bible is inspired, and like all histories they think it too has myth and legend and inaccuracies, but they wouldn't be foolish to discount it's incredible historical importance.
Due to archeological findings, and the discovery of so many more manuscripts, Newton would be even more enthusiastic.
Speaking of archaeological findings, David, you are aware, aren't you, that there is absolutely no archaeological evidence that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, or Moses ever existed. The cities the mythical Joshua "destroyed" were ruins long before the time that Joshua was alleged to have lived. Actually, David is the first biblical character for which there is actual, historical evidence - but he was not quite as great as his reputation, however, as evidence has been found that his fabulous kingdom consisted of a hamlet roughly three blocks square.
Add to that, the attested fact that the first five books of the Bible, ascribed to Moses, were actually written hundreds of years after he allegedly lived and not finally edited and combined into a single tome until 400 BCE, nearly a millennium after the time of Moses.
Of course, when, in the NT, Jeshua refers back to Moses and the Patriarchs, it's evident that he believed they existed as well, which discounts any possibility that he was in any way divine, or he would have avoided that subject. But then, the likelihood of his having any spark of divinity, or as having even even existed, for that matter, is slim to none, as all four of the "Gospels" that attest to his existence, were all written anonymously, not by anyone who could ever have been eyewitnesses to any of the events they depict.
But except for those few gaping holes, I see no reason why belief in the Bible shouldn't hold water --
You say that because you don't know the Bible very well.
You know nothing about Blaine, so where do you get off making statements like that? You know nothing about Zeus! There. So far, every argument you presented began with an insult to the other person's intelligence. You claim you want to have a meaningful debate, yet you resort to childish name calling, and petty insults, in a failed attempt to establish intellectual superiority, and to throw the opponent off balance. How very Christian of you.
They don't believe the Bible is inspired, and like all histories they think it too has myth and legend and inaccuracies, but they wouldn't be foolish to discount it's incredible historical importance.
Because the bible does have myths, legends and inaccuracies, just like every other ancient history; but unlike other ancient histories, the theists will claim that their myths and legends are real, and provide no evidence of backing it up.
I will claim that the story of the Odyssey is myth, even though it contains historical places, that are real. The bible on the other hand, while containing the same far fetched stories of monsters and wizards, I am to assume is real, because it has real, historical places?
Of course no one will discount it's historical importance! The theocratic monsters who used it to control the ancient world for 2000 years made sure of that. But you know who else had historical importance? Osama bin Laden. Should we hold his teaching in high regard too?
You are doing the same song and dance as every theist you seem to think is "wrong."
You quote your holy book, make claims not based in reality, and then when all that fails, you hurl random insults at anyone who happens to disagree.
You have avoided answering pretty much all the questions asked of you, yet demand us to answer your questions. That is not how a debate works, that is not how a discussion works, that is not how a conversation works.
We have had theists here who were willing to have a civilized discussion in the past. It is very rare, and as special as you think you are, sadly, you are not one of them. You fall right in line with the overzealous visitors we get, who come waving the olive branch, while hiding a dagger behind their back. It is clear from your previous posts that you are not here to discuss. You are here to proselytize, and stroke your own ego.
No, thank you.
"Some of the most informed atheists I have encountered online are history buffs. They don't believe the Bible is inspired, and like all histories they think it too has myth and legend and inaccuracies, but they wouldn't be foolish to discount it's incredible historical importance."
Atheist history buff here.
There's little in the bible which is supported by contemporary historians or archaeology. That's not to say that myths and fables don't often have a more worldly explanation, it's just that they are not taken literally.
Æsop's fables also impart important lessons on morality and history. Mostly better ones than the bible, yet he's not deified.
@Arcus - RE: "Atheist history buff here."
I have SO much info indicating that the majority of the Bible, historically speaking, is total fabrication, I would bore everyone to tears if I poured it all out here. Best to just offer Cab Calloway's advice from his song from "Porgy and Bess" --
"The things that you're li'ble
To read in the Bible,
They ain't necessarily so!"
Of course it's fabrication, much like Americans have fabricated a myth that their national ancestors were persecuted Christians arriving on the Mayflower at Plymoth Rock rock in search of religious freedom, when in fact they weren't particularly persecuted, arrived at Cape Cod, and wanted to convert the colonies to strict Calvinism.
their national ancestors were persecuted Christians arriving [,,,] at Cape Cod
The sweet irony is that Provincetown is now the gayest place on earth, only 400 years after the holier-than-thou Pilgrims came ashore in the west end.
My wife and I went there for vacation this summer, because Provincetown may also be the friendliest place on earth.
DH pontificates:
"Chances are, that if secular history or modern day scholars disagree with the Bible, the Bible will eventually prove the more accurate."
I must wipe the tears away from my eyes, David you bring such joy to my life, I must thank you, I'm having such a great time...and there's no cover at this comedy club.
"The Bible , according to Isaac Newton, who was an expert in ancient texts during his time, remarked on the historical superiority and reliability of the Bible."
Appeal to authority fallacy, he is not considered an expert on historiography. If the Bible (NT) contained any relevant historical facts, it would be expected that some of the contemporary historians, let's say Pliny, would make references to the same events.
They didn't. Because it's all bullshit.
Old Ike Newton was a life-long virgin and felt women were nasty. Not sure how much of a validation that is for his authenticity. Near the end of his life, he also dabbled in alchemy, yet another indication that although he may have been a whiz at physics, on other subjects, not so much.
An world leading expert in one field may not be quite as informed about/in other fields. See: Noam Chomsky.

Royal Oak Golf Club
Designed and built to meet international standards, the 18-hole Royal Oak golf course is in a league of its very own.
Situated on the banks of the lake and near the forest on slightly hilly grounds, the Royal Oak offers a perfect recreational course.
As the first in Denmark, the course is built in accordance with American USGA standards, presenting very large greens averaging approximately 700 sp m. Six of these greens have a highly interesting location close to the lake. The location of two greens, in particular, is quite challenging.
Grasses of the highest quality have been used for the course. On greens, approaches and tees, the grasses used are certified penncross creeping bent. On fairways and rough, a mixture of certified Danish grass species can be found, with red fescue grass and meadow grass as the dominant species.
The 78 sand traps add "spice" to the course and contribute to creating variation between the holes.
The Royal Oak course is always green. An automatic watering system is installed underground, covering the entire length of the play area. The course is maintained in accordance with the latest greenkeeping principles.
Also the dressing room facilities live fully up to the high standards of Royal Oak. To name just a few, our guests will always find towels, shampoo and hair dryers at their disposal.
Please feel free to contact us and we will help you plan a visit and book your tee time.

Sometimes we find that we are incompetent to undo a office or record since a in use by an application, a handling complement or another user on a network. Sometimes in intensely detrimental cases, we find that a record might be extrinsic or shabby by a virus. In these cases, an antivirus might be sufficient to understanding with a problem file. In other cases we might find that a deletion apparatus might come in handy. FilExile is a passed elementary apparatus that some users might find useful for a brief volume of time and surplus and shabby for a prolonged term.
What Is It and What Does It Do
Main Functionality
FilExile is a elementary open source deletion apparatus that was combined for a dictated purpose of deletion realistic directories or files that can't be deleted by normal means. Whether a trail and record name is too long, invalid, a record is in use, FilExile will take caring of it.
- Allows we to undo files and folders that differently exclude to be deleted due to a accumulation of errors, such as shabby path, shabby name, etc.
- Safety facilities to assistance forestall deletion of critical files
- Dead elementary to use
- Open source
- Lightweight and efficient
- Drag and dump supported
- Supports English, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, French, Vietnamese, and German languages
- Not complement tray minimizable
- Its use intensity and range is short
- No offline assistance resources
- Requires .NET Framework 4.0
This is substantially a shortest examination I'll ever write. This focus does not do much. It is utterly a clarification of minimalism and simplicity. All it does is undo though let me travel we by a pivotal components.
Setup is discerning and easy. It gives we a common setup sorceress that grants a user a ability to name a components he/she wants to implement and in that directory. It goes by in reduction than a notation depending on how wilful a user is.
The user interface bares all that is not most during all. You get a customary menu bar with 3 menu equipment – File, Settings and Help. The customarily object underneath record is exit. Under Settings we get Options. Under Help, we get Online assistance and About.
When we click on a options menu object underneath a settings menu, it opens adult an options screen, surprisingly incomparable than a primogenitor user interface screen. Here, we get 3 vital configurable settings and options – 'Logging', 'Updates' and 'Advanced'.
Logging allows we to capacitate or invalidate logging and select that office a a focus logs to. The record will customarily be a record named FilExile_log and it will enclose a same information that a FileExile console shade displays.
Under a Updates choice shade we can select to concede a focus to check for updates on startup, Automatically download new updates and check for new updates regulating a 'check now' button. If a new refurbish is found, it will couple we to a download page on sourceforge.net where it leads a user to download uninformed setup files.
Under a Advanced tab, we get to configure if a focus displays an outlay and we can select to invalidate reserve facilities here. You can also select to boost a series of threads a module uses. I'd advise that we customarily boost this if we know we have adequate memory and estimate energy to hoop it means it will have your complement using delayed and we doubt you'd need to do it unless we have a heavy-over-10oo record deletion job. You can also Disable/Enable a Shell Extension that adds/removes an choice to a Windows context menu to undo an object with FilExile. Its a good choice in my opinion that customarily comes with a latest chronicle of a application. Adding FilExile to PATH will supplement a complement non-static to a PATH list. What this does is concede a user to open FilExile from a authority prompt shade and send it undo arguments. [Check screenshot on a right.] The Advanced choice shade also comes with a 'Defaults' symbol that resets all a focus settings behind to default.
The categorical row of a focus customarily contains 3 vital equipment – a content margin and dual buttons. What goes in a content margin is a trail to a office or record we wish to delete. You can possibly fill it in manually or crop to it. Clicking on a undo symbol will try to undo a record and transparent a aim content field. If it cant find a record it will prompt we with a dialogue. Older versions would undo a record and keep a trail on a aim directory. If we attempted to undo a record twice, it would surprise we that a record does not exist. It does a same vital mistake with newer versions of a focus that it did with comparison versions. It never informs a user of a successful operation. It only kind of stares during we after an operation. *Note – this focus deletes files totally so be clever of how we expostulate it.
Conclusion and Download Link
This focus does what a told but misbehaving and it is progressing. Many people will find use in it and or use it in their code, that's if we are a programmer or a formula enthusiast. Give FilExile a try if you're meddlesome in a reduction lifeless deletion process that will mislay a record so quick that it will give your PC amnesia. And don't demur to criticism on what we suspicion of a focus if you've given it a try, a examination and any engaging alternatives or suggestions we consider we should demeanour during and merit a review.
