Editors' Review
+Express Burn Disc Burning Software Free will easily record images, music files, and more onto CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.
Gets right to work: As soon as you open Express Burn Disc Burning Software Free, a pop-up window appears asking you what type of disc you want to burn. There are eight options, ranging from an audio CD to a Data Blu-ray disc. You can also type the name of the disc below the eight options. Once you make your selection, you can choose the files you want to burn.
Well-organized interface: The compact interface is divided by media type, including Audio, Video, Data, and ISO. The first three all have the same options to add files or folders, but within each section are options related to that task. Within Audio, for example, you can choose Audio CD, MP3 CD, and MP3 DVD. Even if you've never burned a disc before, you'll have no trouble getting started.
Easy to add files: It's small, but we liked that you could grab individual files or whole folders to burn.
Specific use: Each time you launch Express Burn Disc Burning Software Free, you'll need to certify that the software is being used for non-commercial, home use only. If you want to use it for commercial purposes, the second option is to view pricing for the commercial license of the Plus edition.
Bottom Line
If you're looking for a free app to burn nearly any type of disc with pictures, audio files, and more, Express Burn Disc Burning Software Free delivers.
Publisher's Description
+Express Burn Disc Burning Software Free lets you create and record discs quickly and easily. Perfect audio quality is maintained through direct digital recording. Express Burn Free Disc Burning Software is an ultra-fast CD and DVD burning suite. Express Burn Free allows you to add chapters to DVD discs before burning. Express Burn Disc Burning Software Free allows you to normalize audio levels before burning. Express Burn Free supports a wide range of audio formats including wav, mp3, flac, wma, and more.
Express Burn Disc Burning Software Free features: - Create MP3 or standard audio discs. - Video files are re-encoded for standard movie discs. - Widescreen and standard video formats. - Support Blu-Ray Disc Burners. - Command line operation ability.

Lindsay's Reviews > Trading Up
Trading Up
by Candace Bushnell
by Candace Bushnell
This book was a waste of time. It was a reminder why I try to avoid chick lit novels. I think this is maybe the 3rd time I've tried reading it, and forced myself to get through it. First, it was WAY to long, as were the chapters. And if the author was trying to make the main character Janey likeable, she was WAY off. It follows the story of 33 year old Janey Wilcox who is a stuck up Victoria's Secret model who thinks everything is about her and marries a rich man she doesn't even love, because apparently that's what people do in NYC. This book actually made me never want to go to NYC or get married. Everyone was lieing and using everyone else to try and either get ahead or cover their butts. Thumbs down.

Keeping with the school theme, it wasn't in the last 6 months, but I got a 34 on my act, I'm pretty proud of that. I haven't done anything relevant in the last 6 months, so is it cool if I use that as my entry?

Is Michael Vick a Hall of Fame quarterback?
[X] Yes [ ] No Dear Lagalaxyfan, we regret to inform you that even though you got a socre of 2100 on the test, the answer to the above question was so incorrect that we are banning you from all college level exams, and voiding the results of all past attempts. Sincerely, Tim Tebow In all seriousness, good luck on the exam. I got a 1450 when it was a 1600 point exam and it really isn't that hard, just don't overthink. |

I never took the SAT so all I can do is wish you luck. I only took the ACT, which I got a 29 on. Not great but eh, not bad. I hope that you do well on it!
In the past while, I managed to get 100% on a Calculus test. I was really happy about that

In the last six months, I've played in more fantasy football games than Michael Vick and EJ Manuel played in regular season games combined.
I still don't know why they up'ed it from 1600 to 2100... It's not like many folks were already hitting 1600... Do you still automatically get points for putting your name down? What was it? 200 points?

Feel incredibly old. I only took ACT and that was 20 years ago and completely out of school for 11 years. Am currently working on a post-grad fellowship. It is nearly impossible to study after being away from it for this long! Good luck on test. You will do fine

How to stop grass growing in my raised beds?
Long time veggie eater, first time gardener. I have three raised beds which I plopped right on top of the sod, assuming that ten inches of soil would just smother the grass.
Now that you're all done laughing, I'll continue.
My various vegetables have done pretty good, but as you can imagine, it's been a battle all summer against the grass, especially as the roots are soooo deep. So, thinking about next year, how can I kill this grass? Would laying cardboard over the beds and then putting soil over the cardboard work? Should I get a bunch of that weed barrier cloth? Am I going to have to simply dig them up and pull up the grass roots by hand? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Is there a border to the beds--meaning is the grass coming in from the sides as well as from below?
That is surprising that 10 inches did not do it. Is there a lot of grass?--like more than you can reasonably pull, because maybe with time you can conquer it this way. If not, I think your best bet is to remove the soil, pull up roots (as much as you can), lay down cardboard or several sheets of newspaper, and replace the soil.
When I created my raised beds, I dug the sod AND put down cardboard, and I have very few weeds to deal with.
Pull what you can and mulch, or deal with it this season and mulch thicker next season. Try to put down at least 2-4" of mulch...3-4" is better for people who have long/warm summers.
Avoid using hardwood mulches if you plan to keep the beds for many years because they can harbor pest and the wood chunks work their way down into the soil where they are very hard to decompose. Straw (not hay because of seed heads) is a great mulch if it happens to be cheap in your area.
Thanks, everyone. I live in northern Alabama (zone 7b), and the grass is bermuda, and it is coming in from below and the sides. It has really long runners. I've been mulching as well with straw throughout the summer (after first mulching with pine bark last spring and then reading on this board not to do so).
I think I will just dig down and pull up roots as I go. As I stated earlier, it did not seem to seriously affect the plants.
I had the same problem. I put down a lot of newspaper and cardboard and then about 8 inches of growing mix. Within a week the grass had started growing up through it. I couldn't believe it, but as they came up I just pulled it out. Now in my second year the grass has finally stopped. I did dig up all around my boxes and put down weedcloth and mulch as well, so that stopped the grass from growing up the sides.
I won't make this mistake again, though!
Yes, of course. Bermuda is a different animal. You'll have to pull the beds out. Kill all the runners. Then spray to a foot minimum beyond beds. Continue often as it will return. And return. And return. And return. And... Do not underestimate what it can do.
OT but related: in undergrad, a classmate of mine wrote a term paper on Bermudagrass, chock full of facts and anecdotes. The plant is an amazing survivor and incredible what it can do. I have lots of stories from the old landscape business.
Have you carefully followed some of the grass down to verify that it is indeed coming from the original sod? I have a few raised beds and there were some grass/weed seeds in the dirt I filled with. A few weeks later I saw blades of grass coming up from pretty deep down, but none were coming up from the bottom.
Here in KY we usualy have bluegrass or fescue and its easily killed off with 3+ inches of soil or even grass clippings. Ive had grass die just from not raking some thick layers after mowing. But Ive no experience with bermuda so...
FADiver, You could put a cardboard border around the bed. Bermuda is incredibly tenacious grass, I have it, too. I'm going to use 12" pavers as a solid border around my beds. Probably with cardboard underneath to make sure nothing stays alive in the cracks. I'd never seen grass that would grow straight up a wall until I moved here.
A thick layer of oak leaves will kill bermuda grass. If you have oak trees, pile their leaves as thick as you can on the bed when the veggies are finished this year. Remove them next spring before planting, or nothing else will grow either.
As an aside, I decided to skip removing the grass as I made a flower bed, and I put down pretty thick cardboard and several inches of leaf mulch on top of that. The only thing coming up is the Bermuda grass--it finds the gaps where the cardboard overlaps. It's been fairly easy to pull, but I hope I won't regret just digging up the lawn.
FADiver: I have the same problem with the grass growing in my raised beds. I've been pulling the grass as it emerges and keeping up with it so far. Next month, I plan to add 2 more raised beds to my garden - 3' x 6' ones. These will hold next spring's crop of strawberries and rhubarb. I do plan to implement suggestions from this thread: cardboard, newspaper, leaves, etc. I usually place the raised beds on areas of grass that aren't doing too well or devoid of grass altogether. Good luck to all of us with this problem!
Let me just add a thought: it's not that difficult to strip sod. Dig it up in chunks about 6-8" square. Whack as much soil as you can back into the bed, then compost the grass and roots. You could easily prepare a couple of 3' x 6' beds in an afternoon. Fork the soil underneath (optional), let it rest a couple of days, then erect your raised frame, fill it with soil, and you're ready to plant.
Just to be sure, are you sure it isn't seeds from the straw you are using. I purchased "straw" from my local nursery and it had many seed heads in it. They all seemed to find a way to sprout...or at least it felt like it. Good news is that they were really easy to pull up whenever I was near the raised bed.
If the grass is more than you can just pull out, I would consider emptying the bed and laying down an overlapping layer of cardboard or several layers of newspaper. Wet it and refill the bed. I used the newspaper method for all 5 of my raised beds and never had a problem with grass or weeds. I didn't go through the work of removing the sod first. Just plopped the bed on the ground, moistened (so it didn't shift when refilling) some newspaper on the bottom and partway up the sides, filled, and planted.
Here is a link that might be useful: My Garden
DH put in 3 raised beds for me 3 years ago. This is our third year and only minimal Bermuda grass coming through. Here is what he did.
1. Scalp the ground with the weed wacker down to dirt.
2. Lay down two layers of 10 year black weed blocker paper (water permeable). The bottom layer north to south and top layer east to west -and- he extended the paper about 3 inches outside the wood box.
3. Fill the beds (all 4x4) with potting mix and peat moss and all the old growing medium from our EarthBoxes.
4. During the summer and fall he regularly weed-wacks all around the raised beds to keep down any weeds in the area. The Bermuda grass has only rarely grown up thru the 10 inches of 'dirt' and I have no mulch around my okra, beans and squash. I plant collard greens in these same beds in fall and they stay until spring - still very, very few weeds.
I credit the scalping DH does with weed-wacker for keeping the weeds from growing wild around the beds. I credit the weed-block paper for keeping the weeds almost completely out of the beds.
We put in a new raised bed this year and to help keep weeds out we put down cardboard followed by landscape fabric held down with those long pins, and piled with a couple of inches of wood mulch a foot outside the beds in all directions. Easier to walk on and I think I've maybe pulled a dozen weeds altogether from the raised bed so far this year. And like dancinglemons, we "scalped" the area before we put the cardboard down. Of course, we aren't dealing with bermuda grass, so I'm not sure how much that would work against something that invasive. Good luck!
I too have not dealt with bermuda, but let me mention that, after scalping the paths around the bed, you could put down old carpet, down face up (it will look much better). This will almost eliminate weed problems in the paths (a tiny fraction will actually push though carpet), and future weedwhackings. Do not put wood chips on the carpet, they will decay, make good soil, and weed seeds will blow in.
In regard to bermuda, I too think this is time for Roundup (next April, now it would not be effective). It will delay your planting some, and you will not kill it all. I would go black plastic early in season (to warm soil and speed up the process), heavy spray, heavy mulch, plant through mulch. Be prepared to apply it manually to isolated survivors with the help of a small paint brush. I have done the latter many times, without incident, and it is the best method for finishing the weeding of a bed.
All these stories about cardboard and carpet won't do a thing for Bermuda. The runners will sit around in the dark for a year and wait for an opening. Srsly. Exclusion and killing will have to be done ongoing. I like what DancingLemons' DH did with the exclusion part.
Literally dozens of threads on this board with discussions. Maybe scores of threads, very common question here.
old carpet is fairly permanent. My FIL has had it in his paths for 30+ yrs. I have had it for 10+ yrs. There were less than ten breakthroughs through the carpet (many more at the cracks), all dealt with paint brush and Roundup, and all in the first year. You have to keep it clean of debris, or else new soil will accumulate, and roots will find openings much more easily from the top.
It is possible that laying the furry part down makes it much more difficult for rhizomes to find those openings (small holes in the base netting which is now at the top), the matted part at the bottom encouraging rhizomes to propagate horizontally. but should bermuda find thousands of openings, one pass with a larger paint brush will get them all for good.
I use it full strength, and a small paint brush which I keep separated from the squash sex toys. For most weeds, painting one leaf is enough. The weed most resistant to RU is aronia (an understory tree with plentiful berries broadcast by birds) here. I have very little bindweed, surely I painted one at some point, but I can not remember.

Welcome to the Cathedral Church of St. George
in Kingston, Ontario, Canada
The Very Reverend Mary Irwin-Gibson, Dean |
Welcome to our website and to our community.
The season of Lent is often associated with fasting and giving up self-indulgent habits or behaviours. Maybe this means giving up using the Ipad or watching Netflix. Maybe it means no new clothes for 40 days, or perhaps you've given up chocolate. Maybe you're even more radical and you've given up the car for Lent! These "things" that we hold dear to us and that make us happy are just that: Things. But while they may serve some small purpose in this life, they are, in the end, insignificant. Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust: We are but dust, and to dust shall we return. When we die, we leave all these things behind. All that we will have left is our faith – our relationship with Christ.
This year, as we consider our Lenten observance, let's not focus on what we're giving up, but instead on what we are striving for. Let's place our focus on God, centering our efforts on building a stronger connection with Christ: a relationship with the One, True, Risen Lord. Let's practice exercising our faith, developing our prayer discipline, taking time to connect with God every day, in all that we do, and learning, like Samuel, to hear God's voice.
A prayer for Ash Wednesday reads:
O God,
you delight not in pomp and show,
but in a humble and contrite heart.
Overturn our love of worldly possessions
and fix our hearts more firmly on you,
so that, having nothing,
we may yet possess everything,
a treasure stored up for us in heaven. Amen.[1]
May you be blessed in this Lenten season, and be filled with a newfound appreciation for God's presence in all that you do. May you strengthen your reflex to turn to God for counsel, support, guidance and inspiration. May you know God's Spirit and power upon you: alive and working in you.
Every blessing,

One Bread Dough Recipe, Three Kinds of Bread
By Words to Eat By on June 29, 2011
BlogHer Spotlight
One dough, three results? Though Debbie Koenig of Words to Eat By describes this particular recipe as a dream for a busy parent who still wants to bake homemade bread, I'd argue it's equally great for anyone who's overscheduled (and that would include yours truly!). Plus, though I'm certainly a fan of a crusty loaf of sourdough or any other kind of sliceable bread, I love lavash, pita and breadsticks, the three products of this single recipe. This is also a great way to learn a little more about the mechanics of bakingsince the recipe is the same, it's a good lesson in the shaping and baking techniques that result in different types of bread.
Possibly The Most Versatile Bread Dough Ever
The dough came together easily; both the pita and the lavash formed with almost no effort. The breadsticks, I'll be honest, were time-consuming. Cutting all those wee pieces and transferring them to the baking sheet is a bit fiddly if you're brain-dead, but it's also strangely comforting. All that rhythmic movement. And the end results were nearly as satisfying as finishing the damned cookbook. It's all the same dough, but the different textures make each product taste different—the pita's fluffy and chewy; the lavash shatters under your teeth with big studs of sea salt; and the breadsticks are nothing short of addictive.

Ooma Telo
Ooma : Full Set
Ooma Telo comes with two handsets and a "base," or central station that connects the Internet-based calling system to the phones.
1 / 6
Bottom Line
The Ooma Telo aims to save you money by letting you ditch traditional telephone service and use Internet-based calls, while still talking on an ordinary phone handset. But you need to do the math for yourself. The quality is about as good as most mobile-to-mobile calls: sometimes choppy, but clear enough.

Panel will advise onoverhaul
The Transport Ministry is looking to set up a committee to direct the implementation of the government's 2-trillion-baht infrastructure overhaul scheme.
- Published: 22/07/2013 at 12:00 AM
- Newspaper section: news
Either Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra or one of her deputies will chair the panel, Transport Minister Chadchat Sittipunt said.
Representatives of the National Economic and Social Development Board and the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning would serve as the secretariat of the committee, he said.
"The committee will function, more or less, like a project adviser whose main responsibility is to follow up on the work progress of every concerned agency," he said. "Without the committee, implementation of the project may move too slowly."
The Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade of Thailand have recommended an independent organisation be established to monitor the 2-trillion-baht project and ensure its transparency.
Mr Chadchat said that even though the project was deemed to be outside of the usual spending of the government budget, the government was making sure that spending in related projects would be managed prudently. Mr Chadchat was trying to dispel concerns of a lack of transparency and said he was ready to allow the auditing of the projects as long as it is not against state regulations.
He also said his ministry was in the process of setting standards for selecting the operators of public transport services such as the operator of the ports.
From now on, a contender that offers the lowest fare would win the selection instead of one that offers the highest benefits to the ministry, he said.

Seven Day Tide Predictions for Lyme Regis. Please Click Link Below
Tide Tables
Lyme Regis, Back Beach in August.....Bliss..!
"Somewhere" Oh, to be lying, On a beach, Somewhere, With sand in my toes, And the wind, In my hair. And only the sound, Of the seagulls, On high, On a beach, Somewhere, Under sunny blue sky. The gentle caress, Of the waves, On the shore, And you close, Beside me, Could I ask for more? A soft sandy beach, That goes on, Forever, You, me, And a beach, So happy together. Linda Harnett

I tried to remove a legacy vlan from a particular port channel when I was working on a clean up project for "vlan 12" . This vlan was configured through the port channel between 2 switches. One switch was the MDF distribution switch(SW A) and another IDF distibution switch (SW B). Port 25 and 26 (both ends) was bundled to the port channel (po1).
When i initiated the command for port 25 on SW B e.g. " switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,11" removing vlan 12, I was no longer accessible to it. The session got me kicked out and i was no longer able to ping i. I was then disconnected to it and switch might have been hung. I'm not sure what exactly caused the issue but I feel I should have unbundled the port from the port channel before removing vlan 12 from each individual port.
What i suspect was a vlan negotiation problem wihtin the port channel. Is that we need to unbundle the port channel, then, remove the vlan from it and move forward to remove from each individual port? I havent tested this on a lab and would like an advice for anybody face a similar issue.
Thank you.
Regards, venomriser
Was your management done via Vlan12? If so...that would be a problem.
Ideally if you want to remove a VLAN from a port channel, you remove it from the port channel interface. This will then propogate down to the physical interfaces.
If you remove it from the physical interfaces first, your port configurations will no longer match the port channel interface configuration, and the ports will be unbundled. Typically this results in one going into blocking via spanning tree.
Hi travis,
VLAN 12 was not the management vlan. It just was an old vlan that needs to be removed. VLAN 2 was the manegement vlan and was configured on the trunk. I believe your second point should be a valid reason for it. I should have removed it on the port channel before moving to the individual ports.
Thank you.

How to change terminalsAug 13, 20131I am flying in from Beijing in Air China, they tell me on Terminal 2, at 6 PM. How easy or difficult is it to go between terminals? I need to buy my continuing flight to Miami and I am debating which airline to use? I will have to carry my own luggage from Terminal 2 to whatever other terminal I end up at. I would love to fly home that night if connecting time permits. Thank youMAMTue, Aug 13Yes, Air China will arrive in Terminal 2. It's pretty easy to get between terminals if you give yourself some time, especially going to 1, 3, or 4 would be pretty easy from 2. So if you want to fly to MIA, AA would probably be easiest as they have 3 redeyes that you could fly. Unfortunately, nobody flies any LAX-So. Fla flights that leave after 6 that are not a redeye (if that's what you're looking for). JetBlue also has a 10:15 PM redeye from Terminal 3 to Fort Lauderdale if that works for you.ZAPTue, Aug 13

Pursuing a Unifying Message
A current major activity of RMF is a collaborative effort in a partnership led by RMF and Iowa State University and including Mississippi State University, the Soil and Water Conservation Society, Texas Tech University and Colorado State University.
The partnership's new report, "Pursuing a Unifying Message: Elevating Food, Agricultural and Natural Resources Research as a National Priority," was released at the National Press Club on December 5. The report documents that the U.S. is in danger of losing its prominence in the scientific research upon which our food, agriculture, and natural resources systems depend and presents a case for many organizations working together toward a common goal at a time when global challenges require additional investment in agricultural research.

The program also included responses from a select panel of stakeholders. Dr. Catherine Woteki, Under Secretary for Research, Education and Economics at USDA, was among the invited guests.
A webcast of the program was streamed at 9:00 AM on December 5, 2014. The report is now available online and the recorded program has been archived on the website (linked above).
The Charles Valentine Riley Memorial Foundation (RMF) is committed to promoting a broader and more complete understanding of agriculture and to building upon Charles Valentine Riley's legacy as a "whole picture" person with a vision for enhancing agriculture through scientific knowledge. RMF, founded in 1985, recognized that agriculture is the most basic human endeavor and that a vibrant, robust, food, agricultural, forestry, and environmental-resource system is essential for human progress and world peace.
The theme for the various RMF program activities is "to promote a broader and more complete understanding of agriculture as the most basic human endeavor and to enhance agriculture through increased scientific knowledge."
The most recent major completed event sponsored by RMF was the 2014 Riley Memorial Lecture presented on June 4, 2014 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, DC by Dan Glickman, currently a Senior Fellow at the Bipartisan Policy Center and a former Secretary of Agriculture and in the U.S. Congress. The lecture was entitled "A Food and Agricultural Research Agenda to Deal with the Asteroids of the Future," and the formal proceedings of the lecture including the responses from a distinguished panel are available at http://www.aaas.org/page/riley-lecture

Alfred meyer 1936 gamba bass
upper bout: 18 ½
lower bout: 24 ½
rib depth: 8 ½
string length: 40 ¾ inches
there are many good things to say about this bass: it is a labeled instrument, it has a sonorous mature tone, and the health is excellent. Finding all this in a smaller package (you could consider it a small ¾ or a 5/8 size) is a wonder, and at the asking price of $12,000, it is practically a miracle.
alfred meyer is a multi-generational bass maker in markneukirchen, a town in the eastern part of germany. Basses are still being made in the workshop today, priced at over $20,000.
the top is made from straight-grained spruce having a moderately narrow spacing. The maple back and sides are not highly flamed and the varnish color is a medium cinnamon brown. While there are numerous repairs on the body, all are carefully done and the instrument has been stable in the southern california climate for many years.
our resident bassists evaluated its tone and playability in four areas. 1) there is a strong, clear g# on the 4th string; 2) it's very easy to get around on, bottom to top; 3) this bass has very good volume throughout and good depth in the lower register; 4) it was clear, articulate, and responsive when playing the trio passage from beethoven's fifth.
in addition, our impressions as a jazz bass are excellent as well. Set up with obligato strings, the tone is clear on the low notes, yet rhythmically percussive. A telling jazz test note is the c up on the 4th string, often used for playing across the neck for tunes like "footprints". The pitch is clear, not thuddy. Further, the solo register has a singing quality, outstandingly so for obligato strings.
