Read: We Aren't At The Critical Point Yet
In the Toronto Star, Damien Cox writes that it's time to drop the idea that the talks between the NHLPA and the NHL are at a critical point and that the season is on the verge of being cancelled right now.
He notes that the 2004-05 lockout saw the season cancelled on February 16th and the 1994-95 lockout was ended on January 11.
Cox writes, "We're not even in mid-November yet. Given history, how can anyone possibly say we're at a make-or-break point? That's just phony drama, mostly generated by the media, with little basis in fact."
He notes that the meetings between the two sides this week are the kind of talks that should have started in August but didn't because of the power and strength that each side wanted to show.
Michael Grange writes at Sportsnet that people are describing the talks to him as "slow and labored."
Grange adds "This week would have been a good week if it was the second week of September or maybe even the second week of October. But we're in November now, so there's certainly cause for concern."
I understand negotiations…just don't see how the lockout ends anytime soon given the position of both sides.

for everyone to be convinced Rex's time is up, Jets have to fall completely on their face, Idzik should go with him too, too little talent has been drafted over the time he has been here, at least he acquired Ivory, drafted Richards and Amaro, but that's just 3 good players in 2 years, can't survive with that type of progress, clean house and get a top competent GM and no meddling from Woody
Why doesn't somebody shoot me and put me out of my misery............better yet
why doesn't somebody shoot Ryan and put US ALL out of our misery !!!!
What do you think REX RYAN is going to do with Manziel? Has he EVER developed a young QB??? No. Ryan cannot even get the best out of the likes of VICK. This is a coaching problem.
Right, because the coach will help not having a competent quarterback. A coach will get us a passable secondary. Hank. Wake up, man.
@MikeFrancesser @Hanknaples How many scapegoats will it take for you to understand this is a Rex issue? He's a complete failure and no the guys don't play hard for him. God help us if that's what you call playing hard.
@MikeFrancesser @Hanknaples : WAKE Up indeed. Coaching is EVERYTHING for competitive teams in the NFL. The talent is very serious. Dallas used to buy the best talent for years, did NOTHING. Wake up to the reality Ryan is not a sound HC. Putting in Harvin to return a kick off? With a trick play? After a week with the TEAM? This is a circus, not a well coached team.
How many GM's, OC's, DC's, and QB's do we need to work our way thru before its Rex's fault?
I call him the Charlatan because he is constantly selling his failed goods and the media and fans are always buying!!!
"How many GM's, OC's, DC's, and QB's do we need to work our way thru before its Rex's fault?"
Nick....this is a PERFECT question that MUST be asked every single time our failure of a HC tries to apologize for his team's performance !!!
@nick321 Well said - why is there so much denial. So we keep hearing Ryan needs this, that, etc. So if he needs a new OC, a new DC, a new QB, new DBs, etc., what does Ryan do? In reality it is RYAN who cannot manage a sound TEAM, cannot produce a healthy environment for a team to grow - talent to develop - with focus, discipline, consistency, etc.
I loved your point. It always seems that Rex needs EVERYTHING working in order to win. The bears didnt have anyone in tbe secondary and he couldnt take advantage of it.

Summiting hills and mountain tops is all a part of the joy and seduction of mountain biking. Therefore, it is rather fitting that when Fuji was founded in 1899 , it was named after Mount Fuji, a Japanese symbol of strength and endurance, and one of the most iconic and Majestic mountain peaks in the world. With that said, Fuji is a brand that believes in the core characteristics in which cycling represents; strength, endurance, challenge, and triumph. The same can be said about their bikes.
The 2012 Fuji Tahoe 29 2.0 is an Aluminum Hardtail 29er with a ton of capabilities. If you are seeking a bike that can perform, but don't want to break the bank, this fierce and responsive bike is certainly worth a look. The riding trend of Hardtail 29ers is a forced to be reckoned with, as it has become the industry standard for racing and performance mountain bikes. The large 29 inch wheels make quick work of nearly any terrain. The hard tail frame makes the bike quick and snappy. This is a huge plus because large wheels normally make you less responsive but that's not the case with this hardtail 29er.
The Frame is constructed from A2-SL super light aluminum alloy, and features a hydroformed top tube which trims off additional weight. A tapered headtube is used to add to the stiffness, and increase the quality and responsiveness of the ride. Cold forged drop outs are used with CNC'd post mount brackets for increased strength while keeping weight minimal.
Fuji has graced the Tahoe 29 2.0 with the quality component group that has been selected. The RockShox Recon Silver fork has 100mm of travel featuring a tapered alloy steerer that adds to the stiff properties. In addition, the Rock Recon Silver includes the PopLoc remote lockout feature so that with a flick of a switch, you can lock out your fork and make further adjustments as you wish. This makes it easy to lock out your suspension in an instant with the use of a remote lever on your handlebar.
It is no secret that Shimano is one of the top dogs in the drivetrain business, so it makes perfect sense that Fuji would go to great lengths to ensure that this build was outfitted with industry leading components. The Shimano M552 Hollow Tech triple crankset provides essential power transfer capacities, as well as giving the rider more gear options for adapting to indecisive terrain. Shimano SLX rapid fire shifters direct the rear Shimano Deore XT derailleur and Shimano SLX front derailleur smoothly and efficiently. The Tektro Auriga Pro hydraulic disc brakes allow you to stop on a dime. This 29 inch Hardtail is well suited, smooth rolling and able to power through the trail with ease. You can't go wrong here!

Overall a great bike, love the 29er! Rolls great, fairly light weight, the components are great, nice shock with lock out, really a good buy. You have to tolerate/like Fuji geometry, which is pretty good but it has a small reach and a high standover height. It is such a great price for a lot of bike! The build quality was very good as well, I worked as a bike mechanic for a while and have assemebled bikes before. They did a nice job.

Skaggs ready to step into heat against the Rangers
Projected 100-degree weather awaits Angels lefty, Texas' Baker
What does Tyler Skaggs want for his 23rd birthday? Well, a victory would be nice, and so perhaps would be some relief from the projected 100-degree heat in Arlington during Sunday's game against the Rangers.
"I'll be trying to hydrate; It's going to be hot," Skaggs said.
Skaggs is making his third start since he returned from the disabled list on July 2 after recovering from a right hamstring strain.
"It's good to be back," he said. "I feel I've been throwing the ball well the last few starts, throwing a lot of strikes. I haven't been walking people. Basically, everything feels fine. I'm ready to go."
The last time Skaggs faced the Rangers, he couldn't handle the metaphorical heat as the Rangers forced him out of the game after a season-low 2 2/3 innings.
The outing was inarguably Skaggs' worst of the season. He gave up six runs on eight hits, ballooning his ERA to a season-high 4.54.
Skaggs' two starts since returning from the disabled list. He pitched 7 2/3 innings against the White Sox on July 2, giving up only two runs on five hits while striking out six.
His last start didn't go as well. Skaggs got the loss despite pitching a quality start. He went 6 2/3 innings and gave up three runs on 11 hits against Toronto.
But until Saturday night, the Angels didn't know who they would be going up against. The Rangers didn't name Scott Baker as the Sunday starter until after Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Angels.
"We wanted to go with the right-hander against the Angels because of their lineup," Washington said.
Baker has struggled this season, moving back and forth from the rotation and bullpen. In 14 games (three starts), he is 0-2 with a 5.84 ERA. In 11 career starts against the Angels, he is 1-5 with a 4.62 ERA.
Washington also clarified his second-half rotation on Saturday, announcing that it will begin with Yu Darvish, Colby Lewis and Nick Tepesch next Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Toronto.
Rangers: Lewis in the bullpen
Normally a starter, Lewis volunteered to help man the Rangers bullpen on Sunday after only throwing 61 pitches in his last start -- a record-setting 2 1/3-inning performance in which he gave up 13 runs (11 earned) on 13 hits against the Angels.
"Colby said he didn't throw enough pitches so he's got pitches to give us," Washington said. "Colby came to us. We didn't come to Colby."
Washington said he was impressed with Lewis' composure after he came out of Thursday's game, remaining in the dugout for the rest of the game.
"He is definitely a class act," Washington said. "He wasn't just going to go put his head in the sand. That's being a good teammate. He wasn't running from the situation. It was a lesson for a lot of our kids. Derek Holland used to do it all the time. Go in and get whatever treatment you need and if there is more game going on, come back at that time."
Angels: Offense streaking since Baylor's return
Since hitting coach Don Baylor returned from femur surgery on June 25, the Angels have had one of the hottest offenses in baseball.
Entering Friday, the Angels led the league in batting average (.306) and slugging percentage (.472) since the 25th, and those numbers only improved as they went 11-for-35 in a 5-2 win against the Rangers on Saturday.
"A lot of guys are taking their walks, going first to third, doing a bunch of different stuff well," leadoff man Kole Calhoun said. "When you're playing good, it all seems to come together."
Worth noting
• The Angels are looking for their first road sweep of the Rangers in a three- or four-game series since taking all three games at Globe Life Park from Sept. 19-21, 2008.

uSER fRIENDLY I AM HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE. I WISH IT CAME A LITTLE TALLER THOUGH FOR MORE SHELVES. I AM 65 YO WITH MULTIPLE JOINT ISSUES AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IT TOGETHER MYSELF. YOU JUST HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT ANYTHING YOU BUY TO ASSEMBLE YOURSELF IS GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY IMPERFECT AT SOME POINTS.... NOT ALL SCREWS WENT IN SMOOTHLY. INSTRUCTIONS WERE CLEAR AND PARTS WELL MARKED.

Fantastic product, great value! This is the perfect baker's rack if you need additional storage but don't have a lot of space. Inexpensive, but doesn't look it. Easy to put together, too; I did it myself and had no difficulty - the instructions were simple enough. I really love the look of this! I'm so pleased with it every time I walk into the kitchen.

Easy to assemble. The description is very precise with exact measurements. It is sturdy enough to hold the miscellaneous items that I hoped it would; a catch all for over sized items I use in my office area. Can be used to display items too!

Great Baker's Rack I was looking for something to use as a plant stand for the colder months when plants needed to come inside. This Baker's Rack looked like it would be a good choice given the dimentions and material. it looked nice in the picture, too. The reviews helped me decide on this product, and they weren't wrong. This is a really nice looking piece and it's very sturdy. It really helped to have two people putting it together to make sure all holes were lined up properly to insert screws. Only one area gave us a little problem, but ultimately all worked well. It was well designed, everything lined up correctly, and it looks great.

baker's rack I bought this bakers rack as a bookcase in my bedroom. It matches the styling of lamps that I have. The size fits perfectly in a corner between the closet door and a window. It has a nice light feeling because it is open rather than a heavy look of a typical bookcase. I have a combination of pretty pottery, books, magazines on the bottom shelf and a spider plant on the top shelf. I use it to keep my end tables from getting cluttered with books and magazines It enhances the room exactly as I imagined it would. It is nicely engineered to be easy to put together and looks well made. I put it together myself (65 yr old femaile). I love it and would recommend this to anyone.

Finally, something that really fits together! I usually hate anything you have to assemble yourself but this was almost "fun". Everything lined up! All the holes were properly tapped for threads. It has been awhile since I had to assemble anything so maybe everything is this well made now. I think it looks much better in reality than online. I needed this to be the exact size as stated and it is so it is a perfect fit. Once assembled, it is rock steady and very strong. Realistically I doubt you could overload it. I have a lot of cast iron skillets and piled them on the shelves, no problem. The finish is very even and smooth and the overall appearance looks a lot like wrought iron.

functional I like this narrow rack. The welds are somewhat sloppy, but I've bought several different products like this and that seems to be the general quality in place. The shelving does not appear it could withstand much weight per shelf without snapping the welds. The spacing of the wires on the shelving makes smaller candle holders want to tip into the spacing. I'm going to try to find a stiff, thin material to line the shelves. This unit was easy to put together. It has a lovely gun stock grey color. I think it's very attractive and it would go in any room. I'd defnitely buy it again, and am considering doing so. :)

Questions & Answers
Exact size for the space, attractive color, reasonable price!
Are these shelves glass?
Hello lewis3, Yes those are shelves glass. If you click on the options scroll down it will tell you each size available with the price.
No! They're metal strips across a metal frame. No glass on this piece at all!
There is absolutely no glass in these shelves. The metal strips are flat and 1/2" wide with a 7/8" space between each strip.
Is the metal rust-proof? I want to use this stand in my patio, so it will be exposed to humidity and rain.
This product is not rust-proof, and it will rust if it is left out in the rain.
I've had product exposed to elements for a year. No sign of rust. Black finish has oxidized but some auto rubbing compound would fix that.
what is the load capability of the shelves on this bakers rack?
The larger shelves can carry up to 30 pounds while the smaller shelves has a load limit of 20 pounds.

Best Bookshelf Materials
It's not unusual for bookshelves to incorporate multiple materials for different features. If you haven't decided on wood, wood products, metal or glass bookshelves, look at their relative strengths and weaknesses. Look below to learn the best bookshelf materials. Wood: "Solid wood" is a common term for furniture made from lumber planks. Beware of making assumptions based on labels like "hardwood" and "softwood." Hardwoods are derived from deciduous trees and softwoods from coniferous trees; the terms don't connote their relative strengths. Balsa is a hardwood even though it is very soft, just as Douglas fir is a softwood even though it is very hard. They all make excellent, classic stock material for bookcases. Generally, harder woods are the heavier and more resistant to scratches. Still, softer woods, if treated correctly, will keep just as well as harder woods. Plywood: Made by stacking thin sheets -- "plies" -- of lumber and gluing them under pressure, plywood features grains that alternate direction for strength. Several grades are available, of differing cost. Top and bottom plies can be high-quality woods to create the appearance of fine woods, but edge veneer or molding is needed to complete the illusion. Particleboard: Wood chips glued together carry a much lower price tag than solid wood, and particleboard is denser and more uniform. It's a great choice when cost is the primary consideration. Bookshelves crafted from veneered composite boards can look and feel as good as real wood. MDF: Wood fibers, tiny chips and sawdust collected and glued into sheets form medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Low-cost MDF makes an excellent base for veneers; plus, its strength is consistent and it shapes well. Metal: There's a reason most library bookshelves are made from metal: Metal bookcases are resistant to moisture and fungus, their low-friction shelves are easier on books' bindings and metal's strength-to-weight ratio can't be beat. Their cost usually comes in below any other material.

Start8 and Fences: First Apps Installed on New PC
Tuesday, February 17, 2015 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
If you follow my posts you might have seen I planned and recently finished my new PC. Putting together a new PC is a bit of work, at least assembling all the parts together and making sure everything works. That's only one part of it though, as you also have to install Windows, install all your apps and games, and then get your data moved back.
My new PC doesn't have an optical drive, so I loaded up my Windows 8 ISO onto a USB drive and installed it. It didn't take long at all to install, and there was my new desktop. Once I got updates installed and all the necessary drivers installed it was now time to get all the software I needed installed.
Before I got too far into my new desktop, I found myself continually trying to open the start menu. After a few minutes of that, it was time to install Start8 and get my start menu back. I installed it and set it up to how I like it, which is to have the Windows keys on the keyboard open the Windows 8 Start screen, and the start button to open the start menu. Now it was much easier to navigate and quickly open places on my computer.
Next was to install Fences. I was downloading a bunch of apps to install and my desktop was quickly filling up with icons, so that is where Fences comes in. I created a folder portal with Fences to show my downloads folder, so everything I downloaded was placed there and was kept contained in that Fence. Instant order came to the desktop.
Once those were installed I started installing the most used and important apps. This is also a good time not to install everything you had before, and just focus on the software you really need and use. While I still have a few more things to install and get setup, these are my tops apps I got installed.
- Steam
- Office
- iTunes
- Chrome
- Firefox
- LastPass
- Dropbox
- Live Writer
- MetroTwit
- Snagit
Those are just a few of what I find most useful, but I still have several more to get installed. Here's my current desktop which I still need to do some more organizing with.

The end of year musings: 2014 edition
Wednesday, December 31, 2014 by Frogboy | Discussion: Personal Computing
Naturally I'm waiting until the last day of the year to finally write this.
If you're looking for a drab, properly edited, PR approved article, this is not that article. So hang on as we do a skim through of the hyperbole of awesomeness that's been going on this year.
Let me get this part out of the way: If you're a gaming journalist, we're going to be at GDC with a suite. In that suite will be Soren Johnson (Civ IV), Bruce Shelley (Civ, Age of Empires), Dan Baker (co-author of the DirectX shader language, engine lead on countless games), Dave Pottinger (Age of Empire series), Dorian Newcomb (art director on countless games), Tim Kipp (system lead on countless games including Civ V and industry expert on touch UI integration). And we're going to be showing a lot of never before seen things and reacting to some of the upcoming industry announcements that aren't currently public. If you're in the media and want to cover any of this, contact our PR manager, Stephanie Schopp (email@example.com).
Now, let's talk about this past year:
Here's a brief recap for those of you in the Stardock community:
The new game studios
Back in 2011 when Stardock sold Impulse to Gamestop we were asked what we were going to do with all that capital. At the time, I said we would set up an investment fund to help fund startups. 2014 was the year when we unveiled the first of these new companies. It's been a real challenge keeping the things we're working on under wraps.
Oxide Games
www.oxidegames.com was announced early this past year and unveiled a tech demo called Star Swarm. Someday we'd like to do a full on game of it but the purpose here was to show Mantle (and while we couldn't say anything at the time, how a future DirectX 12) could dramatically change the way games are made. Right now, as we speak, any games you're playing are communicating with the GPU via 1 core. You have 4 cores? 8 cores? That's nice. They're doing little for you in terms of improving your gaming experience. But Mantle and DirectX 12 will change that. This will be a very big deal in the coming years.
Oxide is making a new type of 3D engine that will take advantage of this which will allow us to make new types of strategy and role playing games into the future.
The Oxide team is led by what was essentially the Civilization V engineering leads which includes one of the developers of the DirectX shader language.
Mohawk Games
Meanwhile, acclaimed designer, Soren Johnson and I founded Mohawk Games together. Soren is best known as the lead designer of Civilization IV. He has assembled an amazing team from around the industry and they're currently working on a game called Offworld Trading Company. And the good news is that this game is expected to go into Steam early access around this February.
OTC has been a mixed blessing. I kid you not that this game is banned from being played outside of lunch hours now. Even though it won't ship until 2016, it's been being played multiplayer for a long time. Don't worry single player fans, Soren has you covered. Even now, it's single player AI is remarkably good (did I mention it's still a year away from release). Once released, its addictiveness will no doubt result in arrests and investigations. I'll be in Belize by then.
Stardock: Towson
We also opened an office in Towson Maryland. We've been lucky enough to recruit some amazing talent including Civilization V art leads (terrain, models, etc.), sound and music leads and some Big Huge Games veterans. We are very fortunately to be located down the street from Firaxis, the world's #1 strategy game studio (imo) and we share the building we're in with Brian Reynold's Big Huge Games (though they managed to get the lead graphics dev we wanted for Star Control! )
The studio out there is working on Star Control. Right now, it's just the underlying game systems (which uses Oxide's Nitrous engine). The main game is expected to begin development this year once we've recruited a lead designer for the game. Unfortunately, Paul Reiche, one of the best game designers in our industry's history and the creator of Star Control 1/2, is pretty busy on Skylanders these days.
We'll be talking a lot more about the new Star Control in 2016. Not too much will happen this year other than saying that while we will continue to support and promote the original Star Control classic series (www.starcontrol.com) the new one will be a reboot and have a different set of lore from the classic series.
Mothership Entertainment
Meanwhile, down in Texas, industry veteran Paul Tozour and us have founded Mothership Entertainment. They're working on a game that we expect to announce this year but won't be released until 2016. I can't even hint at it right now.
Stardock: Austin
All the new games, including Galactic Civilizations III and Sorcerer King will be using a new meta game service we internally call Tachyon. The simplest way to describe it is that it's Battle.net built on top of Steamworks. So in case there's any question on this: As far as Stardock is concerned, Steam is the PC game platform and Steamworks is its API. I could write entire articles on how impressed we've been with Valve. They run Steam in a way that only a privately held company could run it. But I digress.
We want our new games to be able to have a meta experience like you see with Battle.net (which we love). Luckily, we were able to recruit one of the original Battle.net architects, Adrian Luff from Blizzard to run the new studio.
Other cool stuff coming up
Ensemble Studios created some of the best games of all time including Age of Empires and Age of Mythology. When Microsoft closed Ensemble, many of its key leads went on to form a new company called BonusXP.
In 2015, their first major PC game will be announced. The new game, whose developers include Dave Pottinger and Bruce Shelley is expected to be unveiled before GDC in 2015. One of the reasons we feel very certain this game will become very popular is that after playing it, its game mechanics seem so obvious in hindsight. In fact, I expect we'll see a lot of games…borrow from it in the future. I'm a fan.
Windows 10
We have a lot of things coming up for our non-game software (Object Desktop). Still, if all goes well we will be in the position that in 2015, more than 50% of our revenue will come from games. Most of our customers know us from our non-games.
Unfortunately, since our programs tend to end up part of the OS, we tend to not talk about what we're coming out with until the new version of Windows is far enough along that something won't get integrated. Which isn't to say we mind if Microsoft incorporates our OS ideas into Windows. Anything that makes Windows better is good for us all. But we have some new things in development that are so obvious that once you see them in action you'll know they'll be part of the OS at some point.
Galactic Civilizations III & Sorcerer King
I can't forget GalCiv III. The beginning of 2015 will start out with us releasing the types of games we've been traditionally known for: 4X strategy games. Both of these games excite me for very different reasons.
GalCiv III is being built on a brand new, 64-bit platform. It's a custom engine designed to be built on for the next decade. This matters because it will allow us to create, what we hope, is a true living breathing galaxy with amazing depth over time.
Sorcerer King, is exciting because the game lends itself to third-part modder expansions in a way nothing we've made before does. It was remarked by one of our modders that you could remake Baldur's Gate with the Sorcerer King engine.
The people on the other end of your screen
I just wanted to end this with a mention of how much we appreciate you. There are very few independent tech companies from our generation left. And I can tell you, it's a pleasure being able to talk to our customers and our friends in the media as openly and plainly as possible.
I believe this transparency has been crucial to our success over the years. We are techies. We make no bones about that. We love what we make and I say this without reservation, we love making this stuff for you.
Object Desktop Infinite: A Great Deal for Windows Enhancements
Wednesday, November 12, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Stardock unveiled Object Desktop Infinite not too long ago, and it introduced a great way to get a bunch of desktop enhancement apps for a very low monthly subscription price. There's been some questions about the differences between Object Desktop and Object Desktop Infinite, so I wanted to answer a few of those questions and give a general overview of what you're getting with Object Desktop Infinite.
What is Object Desktop and Object Desktop Infinite?
They are the same thing except for one thing, which is the subscription model. They both give you access to a whole suite of desktop enhancements that can customize the appearance and functionality of Windows. You get popular applications such as WindowBlinds, Start8, DeskScapes, Fences, ModernMix, and more. As long as you have an active subscription, you get all updates and any new apps added to Object Desktop.
With Object Desktop Infinite you get all this for $9.99 for the first month, and $3.99 each month which is automatically billed. Object Desktop is a year subscription for $49.99.
Learn more about Object Desktop Infinite | Get Object Desktop Infinite
What exactly do we get in Object Desktop?
You get some great desktop apps! I guess you want more details than that, so here's what you get with your Object Desktop subscription.
- WindowBlinds – Change the look and feel of your Windows desktop by applying different skins.
- Fences – This lets you organize your desktop icons into customizable fences on your desktop.
- Start8 – Brings back the missing Windows 8 start menu.
- DeskScapes – Apply animated and static wallpapers to your desktop.
- ModernMix – Have multiple Modern apps in resizable windows on your desktop.
- Launch8 – Adds a stationary dock to your Windows 8 Start screen.
- ShadowFX – Add drop shadows to Windows 8.
- Tiles – Create multiple desktops of related programs, files and links enabling quick swapping between projects.
- Decor8 – Personalize your Windows 8 Start screen with your own pictures and color schemes.
- WindowFX – Customize windows and menus with animations and special effects.
- IconPackager – Change your icons all at once with custom icon packs.
- Theme Manager – Customize the look and feel of your entire Windows environment from an easy to use interface.
Apps can be downloaded and managed with the Object Desktop Manager application, or you can download the installers from your Stardock account.
Do these apps work with Windows 8? What about the upcoming Windows 10?
Many of the apps are compatible with Windows 8, Windows 7, and some are Windows 8 only such as Start8. You can check the system requirements here to see more specifics. As far as Windows 10, it's still in preview at the time of this posting. We don't officially support an OS until it's actually released, but we might release updates in beta. As mentioned before, as long as your subscription remains active you'll get updates and new apps.
Where can I get more skins and themes to use with Object Desktop?
Some of the apps included in Object Desktop make use of custom skins that can be downloaded and applied. Apps like WindowBlinds, DeskScapes, and Start8 are good examples of apps that can be customized. WinCustomize.com is where you can browse and download thousands of skins for any Stardock application that can be used.
Any resources to help get started with Object Desktop apps?
All the apps included in Object Desktop are easy to use, and we've tried to make them as user-friendly as possible. We do have a list of tutorials and guides that have been created to show users how to use the apps, and to help you understand what you can do with these apps to make Windows function and look how you want it to.

This sounds great! Where do I sign up?

Creating Shadows for ShadowFX
Wednesday, September 17, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
ShadowFX is the newest desktop customization app from Stardock that gives you the ability to add drop shadows to your windows in Windows 8. It's very easy to use, just select which shadow you want from the drop-down list, and you're good to go.
ShadowFX is also easy to customize, and making your own shadows is very simple. You can create your own shadows to use for yourself, and you can submit them and share with others on WinCustomize.com.
Learn more about ShadowFX | Get ShadowFX for just $4.99
There's only a few files needed to put your own shadow together. Most of them are the actual graphics files and one is the theme.sfx file. I recommend taking a look at the default skin directory and see the files that are included for yourself. The default directory should be here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\ShadowFX\skins\skins
The four graphic files needed are for the left, right, top, and bottom shadows. Each image you create should have an active/inactive state. The theme.sfx file (open with a text editor), lets you define the parameters of the shadow. Here you can define things like the shadow name, image names, and image offsets.
Once have everything together in a folder, you can make a .zip file from that and rename it as a .shadowfxtheme file so it will install to ShadowFX when double-clicked. That covers the basics of creating your very own shadows for ShadowFX, and be sure to share your shadows with others on WinCustomize.com.
Review: Snagit 12 Screen Capture Software
Wednesday, September 03, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
I've been talking about and recommending Snagit for many years here on WinCustomize. I started using it many versions ago as I needed a tool to capture screenshots with features that just couldn't be found in Windows or other similar apps. A few months ago TechSmith released Snagit 12 with several new features including a new user interface for the editor, an enhanced capturing experience, and more. For the last month or so I've been using the latest version and wanted to share my thoughts about it, and a big thanks to Betsy Weber from TechSmith!
Snagit is obviously well known for capturing screenshots, but you should also know that it also captures video as well. Their new enhanced capture now lets you select the area to be captured first, then you can select whether you want to snap a screenshot or record a video clip. Another useful feature to note is scrolling capture. Need to capture an entire webpage of content for example? This lets you do that quickly and easily. Profiles can also be used to streamline your capturing process. These customizable profiles let you configure a capture and choose how to take the image and what to do with it when taken. For instance, you can set it up to export to a specific location like Dropbox, or be inserted directly into an application like Word.
Once your image or video is captured it's opened in the newly designed editor. Here you have plenty of editing options for images, and for videos you can do basic editing. Taking a screenshot is one thing, but what you can easily do with it afterwards is key in many cases. When writing articles about the various Stardock applications we have, it's often useful to point out or emphasize specific parts of the UI to show users a feature or function. Snagit excels here because it has a variety of tools that are designed to accomplish this task. Whether it's a simple arrow, a speech bubble, or one of the many stamp graphics available, you can be sure you have the right tool to show and direct viewers to exactly what you want them to focus on in an image.
The editor is actually very useful for all types of image editing. It use it frequently just for basic editing like resizing and cropping even with images I didn't originally capture with Snagit. You can expand Snagit even more by downloading more stamps to use in your images, and there's a wide variety available for download.
The number of images you capture can quickly add up, but Snagit has an integrated library where you can find, sort, and view past captures. The Snagit library sorts captures by date or by the application they were captured from. This is especially useful for me because I can quickly find the images that were taken from a certain app such as WindowBlinds or ObjectDock. Images can also be tagged or assigned flags for even more organization.
Getting your image captured and edited is one thing, but doing something with that image is another. That's why sharing is a very big part of Snagit and they've continually updated this with more sharing options. Images can be saved in the familiar way of saving into a variety of supported image formats, or you can export images into various applications using the integrated output accessories. With just a click you can export right into Word, OneNote, Camtasia Studio and other supported applications. Snagit also lets you share to Facebook, YouTube (video captures), Dropbox, Google Drive and to Screencast.com. Other outputs for other services and apps can be downloaded to expand sharing even further.
There's still lots of features I wasn't able to cover, so be sure to visit the Snagit site to get an overview of everything that Snagit can do. It's one of my most used apps on both my Windows PC and Mac, and I highly recommend it.
They offer a free trial, and there's upgrade options also available for previous users.

Use Launch8 for a Quick Launch Dock to Windows 8 Start Screen
Tuesday, August 19, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Since the launch of Windows 8, Stardock has released several award winning apps, like Start8 and ModernMix to bring back lost functionality and add new features for users of Windows 8. Another Windows 8 app from Stardock is Launch8.
Launch8 adds the convenience of a quick access stationary dock on your Start screen. Drag and drop your favorite applications to your Launch8 dock and quickly launch them no matter where you have swiped to on your Start screen.
Learn more about Launch8 | Get Launch8 for just $4.99
Once Launch8 is installed you will have a dock on your Windows 8 Start screen. You can choose to place the dock at the top or bottom of the screen, and customize it to have a translucent background.
Apps are added by simply dragging and dropping them to the Launch8 dock. You can create shortcuts for Windows 8 Modern apps or regular desktop apps that you use everyday. Icons can be arranged by dragging them around, and the size can be controlled in the Launch8 configuration.
The Windows 8 Start screen can become quite large if you have a lot of apps displayed. The Start Screen scrolls from left to right to display all of your apps. Launch8 stays stationary so you will always have quick access to your shortcuts, regardless of where you have scrolled to on the Start screen.
Launch8 can also be enabled to show jumplists for apps that utilize them. In the screenshot above I am viewing the jumplist for Steam showing items like my recently launched games. This is especially handy with many apps, including Office where you can open recent documents right from your dock.
If you need a way to have quick access to frequently used applications on your Windows 8 Modern Start screen, Launch8 is the perfect solution.
3 Stardock Apps for a Productive Office Desktop
Friday, July 18, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Whether you work in a traditional office environment or have your own home office setup, having your Windows desktop working at maximum efficiency is a key step in being as productive as possible. Stardock makes a bunch of great desktop customization and enhancement apps, and while they all offer a benefit to the desktop, I wanted to write about the ones I think are a huge benefit to your productivity as well.
I have used these applications in my home office for years, and I can say without a doubt they help keep my desktop organized and keep my workflow going.
Fences is really one of those must-have tools for your desktop. It's been very popular since it was first introduced and millions of users use it to keep their desktop icons clean and organized. Fences gives you the ability to create shaded areas on your desktop that hold your icons so you can keep them organized and your desktop clutter-free. Multiple fences can be created and their size and shape can be adjust to fit on your desktop just how you like them.
ObjectDock puts an animated dock on your desktop where you can launch applications, file shortcuts, folders, and more. The dock can be customized with custom backgrounds and icons, the size and position can be changed, and effects can also be applied. In addition, ObjectDock also supports docklets which are mini-apps that can display information like the weather, calendar, clocks, and more. ObjectDock also has tabbed docks which makes it easy to organize apps and shortcuts by using sorting them into different tabs. It's a fantastic way to have quick access to frequently used items.
If you have lots of running applications on your Windows desktop then Tiles is an app that can help you greatly. Tiles puts a customizable sidebar on your desktop which contains multiple pages that let you manage your running tasks and application windows. You can switch between pages by swiping your mouse or using the keyboard, and Tiles even supports multi-touch displays.
$5 Stardock Apps for Windows 8
Monday, July 07, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Stardock has several apps under $5 that are designed to make Windows 8/Windows 8.1 easier to use and to restore lost features such as the Start menu. Below is a quick overview of each app and what it can do to enhance your Windows 8 experience.
The start menu in Windows 8 was removed, and in the 8.1 update, Microsoft brought the start button back. Unfortunately, their start button DOES NOT bring the Start Menu with it, it launches the Windows 8 Menu. Start8 returns the missing Windows 8 start menu and brings additional features like customization, pinning of desktop and Metro apps, unified search, and more.
Start8 was listed in the "PCWorld Top 100 BEST" list, covered by USA Today, Forbes, CBS News, the Wall Street Journal and more!
There are some cool and useful Modern UI apps available for Windows 8. The problem is, these apps take up the entire screen when opened, which is annoying when running an app like the weather app. ModernMix takes those apps using the Modern UI (Metro) and puts them in desktop windows so you can easily re-size, switch back and forth through running applications, and easily close out of them.
Windows 8 limits your start screen customization options to only a few provided background images and a few pre-defined color schemes. Decor8 removes these limitations and provides the freedom to personalize your start screen with your own images and colors.
Launch8 is an application for the Windows 8 Start screen which places a stationary dock on the Start screen. The Launch8 dock stays in place while you scroll through the Start screen and lets you quickly launch applications right from the dock. You can add apps to the dock by dragging and dropping so you'll always have quick access regardless of where you have swiped through your Start screen.
WindowBlinds 8: Colors, Textures, and Backgrounds
Wednesday, June 18, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
I've had some questions come in from Facebook and the WinCustomize forums about some of the additional features of WindowBlinds regarding textures and backgrounds, so I wanted to write a post going into more detail about it. These are all features that aren't really difficult to use, but if you are a new user you just might not be familiar with where everything is and how they work.
If you are completely new to WindowBlinds 8, let me recommend you also take a read through the WindowBlinds 8 Walkthrough: The New User Interface.
Purchase WindowBlinds 8 for just $9.99
Colors, Transparency, and Fonts
On most WindowBlinds skins, you'll see tabs on the right of the WindowBlinds interface for Style, Color, Texture, and Background. Clicking one of those expands the section with all the available options for that particular feature. We'll start out with selecting Color, and that will bring up the coloring options in WindowBlinds. Using this option you can change the color of a WindowBlinds skin by selecting a color and using the sliders to adjust it even further. You can just the brightness and saturation, and there's also options to adjust the range and primary skin colors. Of course you can also stick with WindowBlinds smart recoloring which will give you excellent results. Note that some skins will accept color changes better than others depending on their design.
Next we have the Transparency option which gives you the ability to change the transparency of the start menu, task bar, window frames, and context menus (Windows 7 only). Just adjust the sliders to the amount of transparency you want, and apply the changes to see them in use. For Windows 7 users, you also have the option to force blur effects.
The last option in the Color tab is for fonts. Here you can override the font that is defined in the skin, and you also have the option to adjust the size of the fonts.
Textures is another feature available in WindowBlinds that gives users the ability to add textures to a WindowBlinds skin. When adding a texture, it can dramatically change the way a skin looks depending on what type of texture image is used. There are a bunch of textures included, and it's fairly simple to create and add your own so you can customize a skin to your personal liking.
We even have a WindowBlinds Texture gallery on WinCustomize.com where people can download textures other people have made and shared.
There's two sections under Backgrounds. One is for wallpaper and the other is for Explorer Backgrounds. With WindowBlinds 8 you can set which desktop wallpaper is used right from WindowBlinds, and it also has a random wallpaper changer where you can set WindowBlinds to automatically change the wallpaper at designated times. Have it change the wallpaper every morning, every hour, each time you login, and other settings you can choose from.
Explorer Backgrounds is something people often ask about, and here is where you can set them. By choosing one of the texture images they will apply to the background of your explorer windows. Just like the other textures mentioned before, you can create them and download additional ones from WinCustomize. WindowBlinds also gives you the option to adjust the active and inactive window opacity for explorer windows.
How to Create an Animated Wallpaper Using Stardock's DreamMaker
Thursday, May 15, 2014 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
Animated wallpapers were introduced to Windows back in the Vista days, and has since been continued with the DeskScapes app created by Stardock. By using DeskScapes, you can have beautiful animated wallpapers on your Windows 8 and Windows 7 desktops. DeskScapes also lets users manage both animated and static wallpapers, add effects, and more. You can get a more detailed of what DeskScapes does with this article found here.
There are thousands of animated wallpapers, also called Dreams, available for download on WinCustomize.com. Most of these are created by users of DeskScapes, and although there's a variety of methods used to make the actual animation in the wallpaper, you will need to use DreamMaker to package your videos so you can use and share with others. DreamMaker is an app that is included with DeskScapes that helps you with that process.
Purchase DeskScapes 8 for just $9.99
DreamMaker can be found in the DeskScapes directly on your PC, usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\DeskScapes8. Just run the DreamMaker.exe and you can begin assembling your .dream file.
There's four types of animated wallpapers you can create and then package with DreamMaker.
- Single Video File – This is just a simple animated wallpaper made from a video file. You would need either a wmv or avi file for this.
- Triggered Video – This uses a video, but you can set triggers for that video to play at a certain time.
- Dynamic Content – This is for dynamic .dream content
- Hybrid Content – This is an animated wallpaper that can use both static images and animated content. More about that here.
Remember, DreamMaker only packages your content and makes it ready for distribution and use with DeskScapes. You still need to create your own content with video clips, 3D rendering applications, etc. The forums on WinCustomize is a great resource to ask questions and get advice on way to do this.
Getting Started
Once you have all the files for your .dream ready, we can begin. In DreamMaker you will see it has 3 tabs that we will be working with. The first tab is the Dream Information where you will enter the name of your Dream and a description of it. You will also need to add a thumbnail image (.jpeg, .PNG, no larger than 256x256) that represents your animated wallpaper.
Next is the Dream Contents tab. This is where you will select which type of .dream you are creating (see overview above). One you select the type of .dream you are making, you can select and add all the necessary files needed for that particular animated wallpaper.
The last tab is where you enter the Author Information. Here you can enter the author's name, website, any copyright info, and a box for any additional information you want to include.
All you have to do now is click the Create .Dream button, and your animated wallpaper will be packaged into a .dream file, and will then be ready for use.
Sharing Your Animated Wallpaper .Dream Files
Now that you have your .dream file ready, you can either keep for yourself or share it with others so they might enjoy it as well! WinCustomize.com is where thousands of other animated wallpapers are available for the public to download, and it's easy to join and get your wallpaper added.
Note: When sharing an animated wallpaper, it must be created by you or have the necessary permissions included to distribute. See more about that here.
It's free to join and upload your animated wallpaper to WinCustomize.com. If you already have a Stardock account, you can simply use the same login credentials as they work across all Stardock sites. Next, head over to the upload page, enter all the information and upload your files. WinCustomize has a moderation process, so after a short time the .dream file will appear on the site and will be available for download.

Bugs, Patches & Translations
Bugs are reported in freedesktop.org's Bugzilla. See also the list of open bugs in Bugzilla. Also, there might be a chance that the bug you want to report is not actually one. For those we have prepared a list of canned responses. Please check this list before filing a bug because otherwise you might find your bug closed quickly with a reference to one of the items of that list. Because of heavy spamming, you have to be logged in to the freedesktop.org Bugzilla to create and modify bugs.
Important: If you are encountering a crash, please make sure to provide a stack trace when you file a bug. The various distributions usually provide documentation how you do this best. Here are the guides for Fedora, Mandriva and Ubuntu. Also, make sure to include the verbose output of PA when this problem happens. For that run "pulseaudio -vvvvv" in a terminal and try to reproduce your issue. You might need to stop a running PA first by issuing "pulseaudio -k". If autospawning is enabled (which it now is by default) you might have to race against it when restarting PA, so it might be a good idea to issue "pulseaudio -k ; pulseaudio -vvvvv" in a single command and try a few times. Usually that should work well enough to win the race. If it doesn't, adding "autospawn=no" to ~/.config/pulse/client.conf will disable autospawning.
Important: If you are using Ubuntu please read this before filing a bug.
Below is a rough outline of how a stack trace can be acquired with gdb:
$ LD_BIND_NOW=1 gdb pulseaudio
>> run -vvvvv
>> ...
>> *** crash ***
>> thread apply all bt full
>> ...
>> *** etc. etc. ***
Before posting a bug report you might want to check this list of broken ALSA sound drivers. (might be out of date)
If you are encountering a CPU load issue, make sure to read this.
If you want to complain about PulseAudio's mixer handling, read this first! If you want to complain about memory consumption read this first! If you want to complain that PA doesn't honour your default device choices, read this first! Other canned responsed you find in this list.
Patches are preferably submitted to the mailing list, ideally using git send-email
(instructions here). It's ok send patches also by filing a bug and attaching the patch there, but the mailing list is the preferred way. Patches should be made against the current Git master branch. Before submitting patches please read through our coding style guidelines.
Translations shall be submitted via Transifex. This will commit your translations directly to our GIT repository and lessen our burden to merge patches. Please note that translations submitted by other means (bug tickets, mailed patches) will be ignored (or closed as "wontfix" in the case of bug tickets). You don't need an PulseAudio BTS user account if you want to submit translations this way. Currently Transiflex integration is not hooked up. Until this situation changes, please open a bug and attach your patch against latest git. Please include i18n in the keywords section.
Patch Review Status
We track the submitted patches here. That page is updated once a week. If you have submitted a patch more than a week ago, and you're waiting for someone to review it, it should be listed on that page. If it's not, then we have missed your patch, in which case please contact the maintainers (for example by sending a mail to the mailing list).
PulseAudio has been developed by:
- Lennart Poettering (mezcalero) through his employer Red Hat
- Pierre Ossman (ossman, DrZeus) through his employer Cendio
- Colin Guthrie (coling)

NEW Links for the Week of 6/18/01
To assure your experience at Chicago-Kent College of Law is a positive one, the Center for Law and Computers is available to assist you with your computer and technical questions and concerns. You can reach a member of our staff by calling (312) 906-5300 (6-5300 house phones) or sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Recently graduated students: For those of you leaving us for greater ventures, we would like to wish you the best. We'd also like to share the below information with you regarding your email, network and print accounts.
Now that you have graduated, it is time to think about closing this portion of your law education. Please help us by removing all messages and files from the C-K network as soon as possible so we can make room for the incoming students. Summer printer access for graduated C-K students If you are at the C-K downtown
campus and need to print, you can still send print jobs to the Document
Center in the Library. This will require you to pay for the printed
pages when you pick them up. We also offer the option for newly graduated
students who have special projects over the summer to extend printing
privileges to labs 700, 760, and 900. Please contact the Center for
Law and Computers at (312) 906-5300 or firstname.lastname@example.com for further
information. NOTICE: Remove unnecessary files on Network The Center for Law and Computers provides access to the Network for Chicago-Kent students, faculty, and staff in support of the educational mission of the university. In recent months we have noticed an increase in the amount of personal storage space being consumed on our network. As we continue to maintain and scan the network drives we are noticing numerous occurrences of non-educational types of materials (i.e., MP3, .wav, .mov, .avi). We understand that there are occasions when storing these types of files on the network for educational use is legitimate.
We ask that you purge all unnecessary messages and
files as often as possible from your network and email accounts to help
us preserve space on the C-K server. As a reminder, in Outlook mail,
you must delete messages from your "Deleted Messages" folder
for them to be permanently removed from the mail server. It is also
a good maintenance procedure to delete any unneeded messages in the
"Sent" folder. To select a new password: · Access Webmail (http://webmail.kentlaw.edu) from your Internet browser, (i.e. Internet Explorer) · Select the option CHANGE PASSWORD · When prompted, enter your username, password and desired new password when successfully completed, you will receive the message PASSWORD SUCCESSFULLY CHANGED · Your new password takes effect immediately and will give you access to your email account and network files. Password protection is one of the most important principles of network and e-mail security. Chicago-Kent College of Law provides access to network and electronic mail resources to its students, faculty, and staff, in support of the University's mission of teaching, research, and public service. Passwords are assigned for access to both of these resources to authenticate a user's identity, to protect network users, and to provide security. New passwords will be provided, and existing passwords will be reset, only when the identity of the requester can be clearly established.
If you have questions or need additional assistance, please contact the Help Desk at (312) 906-5300. Technical Training and Support: Please feel free to contact Technical Support any time we can be of assistance to you with technical issues: CLC Main Office (Help Desk): Room 525 Technical Support Help Desk Hours of Operation: Monday-Thursday: 8:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Friday: 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Email: email@example.com: (312) 906-5300 Fax: (312) 906-5165 Obtaining Microsoft Office 2000 Professional Edition and FrontPage: The Center for Law and Computers has MS Office 2000 Professional Edition and FrontPage available for purchase at a discounted educational use rate. The disks can be purchased at the Help Desk in Room 525. Each student is allowed to purchase only one copy for the price of $25.50. Please bring your student or other photo ID with you to purchase a set. The Center for Law and Computers has implemented print accounting software which allows you to: 1. Send print jobs to queue -- This feature allows you to send print jobs to the print station at the front of each lab where they are held in queue until you release them. You no longer have to continually run to the printer to make sure your print job doesn't get mixed in with someone else's print job. In addition, you are able to send multiple print jobs to the queue and they are held until you release them at the print station. 2. You are able to check the balance of your print account -- This feature allows you to look at the number of copies you have remaining for the term (note: each student is allotted 400 pages per semester; additional pages beyond the 400 are billed at $.05 per page) Your 400 page limit is reset at the beginning of each semester.
The release station will release all print jobs sent under your username. When your print jobs are listed you have the opportunity to delete them before actually sending them to print. NOTES:
If you have questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 906-5300. Equipment: The principle printers in the KENTNET system are Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 8000N Printers. There is one printer in each lab 700, 760 and 900 that is set up as the default printer when you sign on in that lab. Individual Student Printing Accounts: Each student receives 400 pages of printing per semester. Any printing past 400 pages will be charged to your student printing account at 5¢ per page. You must settle your student account with the Bursar's Office before receiving your 400 page allotment for the following semester. Students with outstanding balances will have their Kentnet accounts deactivated until the balance is paid. Graduating students with a delinquent printing balance will not receive their diplomas until the accounts are paid in full. If you print work for a faculty member, you must print out a detailed balance and have the faculty member sign for their pages. Present the signed balance sheet to the Help Desk in the Center for Law and Computers (Room 525). Your print account will be credited accordingly. Print jobs that are sent to the Document Center printer (9th floor-library) require payment when picked up. Please report any problems with printers or printing to the Help Desk by Email: firstname.lastname@example.com or in house phone number 6-5300. The Email stations located throughout the building are intended to allow students convenient and quick access to Email and the Record. Please be considerate to your fellow students when using these stations. If you want to compose many or long messages, or browse the Internet at length, please use one of the 3 computer labs in the library. Thank you for your cooperation. Note: the latest DAT file for the period of 6/18/01 - 7/01/01 is sdat4142 As always, it is a good idea to update the virus protection software on your personal computer periodically to catch any new viruses lurking out there in cyber world Since we have a volume license to McAfee Virus Scan, each student should have a copy of this software on his/her computer. (It is free to C-K students so...No excuse not to have it!) The Center for Law and Computers takes a proactive stance in trying to eradicate viruses by cleaning them as they come through our servers, we cannot protect each individual PC. We are asking that you also be proactive to ensure that your PC does not become infected. Beacause there are new virus outbreaks DAILY, we want to stress the importance of having the latest virus protection software and updated virus definition (.DAT) files. We'd also like to remind you that regular virus scans of all drives (weekly, if possible) are necessary in order to detect and clean any viruses so they are not sent to friends and/or colleagues. Chicago-Kent is licensed for and supports McAfee Virus Scan from Network Associates. According to information on their web site, there are over 50,000+ viruses out there and the potential for damage is continuous. We here at the Center for Law and Computers want to make sure you have the best possible protection for your PC. Please follow the instructions below to install the latest virus definition updates (.DAT files) for your McAfee software. FIRST: Check to see that you have a recent version of the virus scanning software on your computer. You can do this by clicking on the small blue and red "VShield" icon in the lower right corner of your screen with the right mouse button. When you do, a small menu will pop up. Select the "About" choice in this menu by clicking on it once with the left mouse button. Warning These procedures may force a reboot of your computer. In order to avoid loss of data, close all programs except Outlook before completing any of the following steps. While signed on to the C-K network, run the update with the following three steps:
Once the "SuperDat" update program starts, click on "Next." You may be prompted to restart your computer. THIRD: Run a virus scan on your PC.
This will begin the scanning process. It will check all the files on the drive you designated. It may take a few minutes to several hours depending on the speed of your computer and the number of files you have. Your patience will pay off, remember you will be preventing problems in the future. Note: The above procedures can be used in the future to update your .DAT files. A great source for additional information about viruses is the Network Associates site: http://www.mcafeeb2b.com/avert/default.asp As always, if you have questions or need additional assistance, please feel free to contact the help desk at (312) 906-5300. There is no network maintenance down time scheduled at this time. Lab 900 is on the ninth floor of the library at the west end of the building and has 12 computers. Turn left when you enter the library through the ninth floor entrance. The printer for the ninth floor lab is in Room 986, in the corner of the area. Lab 700, the large, glass-walled room on the seventh floor of the library, is the largest lab, with 30 computers. This lab is sometimes used for larger research classes and it is always used for exams. LEXIS-NEXIS and WESTLAW representatives conduct office hours in Lab 700. The schedule of their office hours will be posted weekly in the Record. They can help you with online research questions. Lab 760, also on the seventh floor of the library, is equipped with 20 computers. It is often used for research classes. From time to time, the law school schedules classes or exams in the labs. When this occurs, a sign will be posted outside the door of the lab. Please be considerate and use one of the other labs during these scheduled activities. If you have any problems getting onto KENTNET from any computer, call the CLC at extension 6-5300 from any black house phone located between the public telephones on every floor. Security and Proper Shutdown of Lab Computers In order to secure your login name and password, it is important to log out completely. To shutdown properly, prior to leaving any of the computer labs, logout and close all programs---click START (located on tool bar in the bottom left corner of the screen) SHUTDOWN | RESTART. If the system is shutdown successfully, the next individual who sits at that lab computer will be prompted to enter his or her own login name and password. Q: What is the URL for Chicago-Kent's internal web page? Q: What is the web site address to get my grades? A: Go directly to http://ck-info.kentlaw.edu or go to http://ck.kentlaw.edu/ and click on the link labeled Chicago-Kent Student Information System (Online Grades). Q: What do I do if I can't find my pin number for the online grade system or if my pin number is not working? A: Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hello again,
I try to make an appointment with each one of my sponsees each week to make sure we are staying in contact and time do do step work. I never know how busy my week is and when i will be able to return all my phone calls.
I usually meet with a sponsee at the same time every week,she wanted to change the time last week but it did not fit in my schedule,this week i was available at our regular time but my sponsee tells me she callled and asked to change the time, i graciously called and had to leave a message...."i" must have mixed up the times. ..and yes it is very possible she mentioned te time change and i missed it.
So here i am obsessing and having no clue how to respond to the last message on my machine and feeling annoyed and i so don't want to call her back.
Message...."I told you i needed to change the time, we are going to need to talk and figure this out. "
I so so so dont want to talk to figure this out. I want to get in touch and next time we talk discuss step work!
Sometimes I can handle this crap and other times like tknight it bugs the hell out of me.
How do i not get annoyed over stuff like this,how do i stop obsessing about it,is it me or is it my sponsee ?
