But the fact that Liang got a GP assignment (Cup of China) means USFS submitted her name to the GP selection pool in the first place (no reason not to do so because Liang was #30 on the SB scores list). Liang is currently listed in USFS' Team C funding envelope and, AFAIK, she would not be "made to wiithdraw" from her GP unless she wasn't competing this year. And even if she did end up withdrawing from CoC for whatever reason, China would not be obligated to pick a USA lady to replace her.
Well, if the USFSA could ask a skater to withdraw from a competition for the good of the team, why in the first place would they include the skater then later on withdraw. So afterwards, what will happen to the skater?!! It's just my opinion and sure hope I didn't offend anybody with what I've said.
Edited to add: Seriously, though, I think that did happen in the selection of the 2008 Worlds team. Kristina Hacker stood aside to let Kimmie be on the team.
About the Bebe situation, my question was about what the ISU rules allowed -- I was just using Bebe as a hypothetical example.

If anyone should have been asked to withdraw from a GP assignment, it should have been Emily Hughes last season. Her TEB performance ranked 10th of 11 skaters and placed her #82 on the 2008-2009 SB list.
Prior to TEB, she had signed up for and withdrawn from two summer comps, then waited till September to do Midatlantics, where her subpar performances finished third behind Elene Gedevanishvili and Tamar Katz. She finished 3rd at North Atlantic Regionals behind Joelle Forte and Taylor Firth (who went on to finish 12th and 13th at Nationals). Although she had a bye to Nationals because of her TEB assignment, Emily withdrew a week before the start of Naitonals.
I saw this on You Tube and thought it was very helpful to me. It gives a 2 or 3 second clip of each skater at each GP event. I thought it was novel, some of these men I did not know what they looked like. I now have a visual of each skater at each event. I have four months to make popcorn!
Someone posted on one of these boards, long after the fact, that Katrina had been contacted by the committee before the decision and that she had bring willing for Kimmie to be given the spot. I don't know if this is true or not.
Of course, at the time they didn't know how she would do.
One would think that USFS would have been justified to ask Emily Hughes to withdraw from TEB based on her competition performances last September/October, but the fact that she didn't withdraw seems to indicate that it was Emily's and her team's decision, and not USFS'.
I also recall this rumor being posted online (it might have originated at FSU?), but based on comments Katrina Hacker made at 2008 Four Continents and elsewhere since that time, I am led to believe that it was never her decision to "stand aside" for Meissner to go to 2008 Worlds in her place. Prior to 2008 Nationals (where she finished 6th in her senior debut to Meissner's 7th), Hacker's only international experience had consisted of one JGP in the fall of 2006 (5th in Romania).
If I understand these convoluted GP rules, national federations must submit some sort of list to the ISU with the names of skaters who can compete. If Emily got an assignment, the USFSA must have put her on the list. They would not put her on a list, then ask her to withdraw.
Like most of this board, I hope Becky and Alexe get a second spot each. But then, this guilty feeling comes over me. What is it exactly that I am "hoping"? Do I want somebody to get sick? Do I hope somebody gets injured? Do I want somebody to get caught using drugs? Of course not! So there isn't anything for me to "hope" ..... except that this mysterious TBA spot at Skate America goes to a girl who deserves it.
That was my point about Bebe Liang earlier. The difference between Liang's and Emily Hughes' situations is that Hughes was guaranteed one Senior GP assignment last year because she was in the top 24 2007-08 Season Best scores list (Liang was not guaranteed 1 GP this year because she was #30 on the SB list).
Megan Oster was a talented up-and-coming U.S. lady just a few years ago. She received 2 Senior GP assignments (2007 Skate Canada and NHK Trophy) after having medalled (bronze) in the Junior Grand Prix Final in December 2006. But she first had to compete at her Regionals in October 2007 and place top 4 in the Senior Ladies event there in order to be eligible for her bye through Sectionals in November (due to the timing of NHK) to 2008 Nationals. Unfortunately, Oster did not place in the top 4 at Regionals and therefore did not qualify for Nationals even through she had 2 GPs. She ended up withdrawing from Skate Canada due to injury and, soon afterwards, withdrew from NHK Trophy as well. Oster officially announced her retirement before the start of last season.

A short hop to Hong Kong (part 1)
Hong Kong to me is a concrete and steel Wonderland…and I don't mean "concrete and steel" in a derogatory way at all. Every time I see it I feel like Alice, seeing this strange yet enticing place, where things are both bigger and smaller than in her own world. Where buildings grow so tall and in such abundance, with a zillion tiny windows all filled with lights, like huge and glorious hives. Where so many things beckon "eat me" from trays and carts and aquarium windows. Where everything seems to move at the speed of light, rushing forward, never stopping. Where roads seem to weave in and around everything, at so many levels, like wild vines – and the cars on them never slowing down, like an army of hyper-active ants. One tiny island really, that seemed to get more than its share of urban fertilizer, and now everything is growing taller, faster, bigger, better, one on top of the other. And underneath it all, that energetic pulse of commerce, beating strong and unapologetically – if there's a deal to be made, Hong Kong is making it. I can't help but be blown away by it…like Alice is at once scared but oddly attracted to Wonderland and all it's interesting customs and inhabitants.
And as I feel its heart in the concrete beneath my feet, I can hear its unrepentant declaration: "I am a City…hear me roar!"
Hong Kong also has a more personal place in my heart. My closest female cousin moved there when we were younger (before that we were neighbors), so I would go to visit her. While many of my friends would go to Hong Kong for the weekend to enjoy the shopping, I would stay for a couple of weeks tramping around with A, eating way too much, gossiping and catching up, and our favorite tradition…having afternoon tea at the Peninsula. There we would sit for hours talking about everything and nothing, two chubby white girls in grungy clothes, not exactly the most sophisticated pair in the lobby. Those were good days! Now A lives in Barcelona, but her father (my uncle, also my godfather) is once again based in Hong Kong, and he is who I visited this time around. There was definitely a lot of reminiscing on this trip :)
The main highlight of this trip was seeing my uncle and aunt, hanging out with them and catching up. He reminds me a lot of my dad…they have the same mischievous sense of fun, and both love to cook! No wonder they are such great friends, as are A and I. So this was more a relaxed trip…more kicking back and less racing around.
That doesn't mean we didn't tuck into Hong Kong good and proper though ;) Some of the things that made our trip memorable (aside from the wonderful company)…
Dimsum at City Hall
Our first meal in Hong Kong was dim sum at Maxim's in City Hall (City Hall Maxim's Palace at the 2/F, not Maxim's Restaurant on the 1/F which looks more European than Chinese). I love dim sum and I love this place – dim sum carts racing around a huge hall, big crystal chandelier hanging above your head, wonderfully noisy din surrounding you, lots of red and gold everywhere, and a beautiful view of the water. Everything I like eating in a Chinese restaurant to be :) The dim sum was fantastic especially the shrimp dumplings and the ones filled with garlic chives. My only regret is they were out of taro puffs…ah well, next time! :) City Hall Maxim's Palace - 2/F, the City Hall Low Block, Tel - +852 2521-1303.
Dinner on Lamma Island
For dinner on our first night we took a junk (Chinese sailing boat) to Lamma Island, a small fishing village just off Hong Kong Island. Here the dock is lined with seafood restaurants…the type where you choose your dinner from aquariums full of live seafood, so everything is very fresh. After some wine on the junk, we all landed with burgeoning appetites. After much pointing and discussing by the aquariums, we had steamed prawns, clams in black bean sauce, deep fried cuttlefish with sweet chili sauce, mantis shrimp (also known as alupihan dagat over here -- a crustacean I have had a long and entwined history with...perhaps I will recount one day) fried with heaps of garlic and black pepper, scallops with spring onion and rice vermicelli, bamboo clams (also known as razor clams or navajas in Spain) with black bean sauce, and a garoupa (grouper or lapu-lapu) steamed with ginger, soy, sesame oil, and spring onions. We also had an excellent Chinese-style crispy fried chicken and sautéed dao mui (snow pea shoots/sprouts…we were lucky they were in season...they are delicious!) with garlic. And chao fan (fried rice). This was an amazing dinner and C still firmly states was the best of the trip. Everything was incredibly fresh and cooked perfectly. I thought that they were going to have to roll us all back in the boat! Typically though, there was still room for dessert as we all sat scrunched together at the front of the junk, the wind in our faces, clutching our wineglasses and delicious tarts from Cova, and watching the brilliant Hong Kong skyline approach. Fu Kee Restaurant, Lamma Island, Hong Kong (it's right on the dock), you can take a ferry from Aberdeen Marina.
Spoon by Alain Ducasse
Another thrill for me was trying Alain Ducasse's food for the first time (in my life!) at his restaurant Spoon, at the InterContinental Hong Kong. After only hearing and reading about this famous French master chef I was finally going to sample his goods! Because of the restaurant's popularity, we could only book at table for 9pm, so my aunt told them that we would be sitting in the lobby in case an earlier slot opens up. Perfect excuse for pre-dinner cocktails and Hong Kong light show viewing :) So we sipped our drinks and watched the dazzling display of lights that the Hong Kong skyscrapers put on, while chatting away the time. Before we knew it they called us in for our dinner. I enjoyed my meal from start to finish! Everything seemed to be a beautifully orchestrated show put on for me (yes, they do make you feel special). I don't know if it was from the glow of good wine, the warmth of good company, or the pleasure of good food (and did I mention the view?), but all my senses were sated. I started with the steamed foie gras, served with a pear chutney and Sichuan pepper, with an herb salad on the side. This was my favorite dish – the foie was perfectly tender and with the tang of the chutney, the spice of the pepper, and the sharp greenness of the herbs, it was a masterful flavor combination. My main was a lamb fillet with a tomato marmalade, served with potato stuffed with bacon and herds – another delicious dish. The lamb was cooked a perfect rare (just as I like it) and worked well with the tomato marmalade…although my foie would continue to be my favorite throughout the meal. For dessert I had the Noir de Noir 2007, which is a plate of four different, intensely chocolate, desserts – a chocolate sorbet with chocolate crumble, a molten chocolate cake, a chocolate custard, and their version of a brownie. I have to say that I always enjoy regular homemade style brownies much better, but this was an exception. The brownie layer was exactly how I like my "regular homemade style brownies" to be like (dark and moist, with walnuts too!). This was topped with a dark chocolate ganache, and then a sheet of hardened dark chocolate. Oohlala Alain! Now I just have to figure out how to translate that into homemade :) I liked the molten chocolate cake the best though, but only because I have a natural propensity towards molten chocolate things…and it went brilliantly paired with the chocolate sorbet, as suggested by our super-charming server, who was so cutely attentive I was considering if he would fit into my luggage so I could drag him home and have him explain to me everyday what exactly I was eating! Spoon by Alain Ducasse: InterContinental, Hong Kong, 18 Salisbury Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Tel - +852 2313-2256.
Again, I was planning to place everything in one post, it was just a weekend afterall and how may things could I write about, yes? Once again I had underestimated: 1. How many things I actually did (even leaving certain things like cute-undies-shopping at H&M out!), and 2. My ability to just babble on like it's going out of style! Is this why I have been receiving fewer invitations lately? I wonder!
Anyhoo, like it or not, I'll be back with a bit more of Hong Kong soon :)

Naku Joey ha. Hee hee :) Attentively cute? Anyway. I wonder what Maxim has to do with our Maxim's? I wish I had been more worldly when I went to Hong Kong in college. I was still hung up on senseless teenage stuff.
Me want more! - 3:10 PM

I feel the same excitement you have about this trip..its always amazing to see our best friend or relative living in another country..i havent been to Hongkong yet but this write up you made convinced me..my husband doesnt like to go there.. this time my task would be easier i'll just tell him to read your blog and wait for the part 2 :-)...he is gourmet like me for sure he would love it
Maxim's is always a must ... but since they don't take reservations it's best to arrive SUPER early. Lamma I've been to as well (nice and touristy), but Spoon I haven't. I love Hong Kong! So much so that I'm thinking of ditching the US and going straight there to work post grad school!
Your meals all sound delicious, and I am SO envious of your dinner at Spoon!
Just keep babbling, Joey, I love reading your travelogues. :-) - 1:16 AM

I wonder, it takes a certain type of personality to actually live and thrive there. Would you, y'think?
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Manggy! Heeeheehee :) There is a lot to be said about good service! Anyhoo, I don't know if there is any connection with our local Maxim's, aside from the fact that they both serve dim sum :)
Hi Dhanggit! I agree...It's so fun to see the people you love flourish in a new environment :) Hong Kong has a lot to offer food-wise I think...Glad you are enjoying the posts and I hope your husband does too :)
Hi Wysgal! Or go to Maxim's late, like we did, so it was easy for us to get a table :) I think Hong Kong would definitely be a very exciting place to work! So much energy...just like you...a good match! :)
Hi Katrina! My waist is definitely feeling the hit from these past two trips! But good food is always worth it in my book :) Thanks Katrina...I'm happy to know that you are enjoying my babbling!
Hi P! Perhaps it does...my uncle LOVES it...you can tell by how he talks about the city :) I can definitely see the attraction...there is an electricity in the air :) - 3:42 PM

- canDIshhh said...
I miss HK... Love love their food!! Dimsum overload! Maxim's is definitely a MUST!
Crystal Jade is a good place to eat too! And also this resto at the end of Shueng Wan (i forgot the name)- where they serve THE best shark's fin soup! :) I wonder though if Movenpick at the Peak is still open - they serve the best (for me ah!) buffet!! :) - 11:26 AM

Hi Rosa! Happy you enjoyed it :)
Hi Veron! Glad I was able to bring back some happy memories :)
Hi Candishhh! Thanks for the tips...will remember that for next time :) - 6:18 PM

Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities in the world – if only for the shopping and the food! But I have yet to try your recommendations – thanks for the tips! :-)

Lamma Island was a regular food destination for my and 7 other Filipino families and we always had the braised baby lobsters, super fresh and yummy.
Hong Kong (Island side) is IMHO one of the the best and safest places to live in, and yes, even if you have young children. One big shopping mall, glorious food, and countless places to explore!:) - 10:57 PM
- ChichaJo said...
Hi BBL! I like it's vibe too :) I'll make sure to ask you for tips as well next time I go!
Hi Oggi! Braised lobster...yum!!! I would not mind at all living there :) While we were there we went to this bazaar composed of lots of expats...it was outside the center of town in a place with a big grassy area, strewn with foam tubes and balls and tons of kids playing...looked like they didn't mind at all living there :) - 1:49 AM

I love going to Hong Kong and have been there so many times, but I must say that the best Chinese foods are now found in Shanghai...even Hong Kongers go to Shanghai now for the foods. ;)

Discover interesting features, complete course listings, accommodation suggestions and details of great value golf passes.
Fife boasts over 45 famous, historic and challenging golf courses. A wide range of beautiful parkland, inland and links courses await your arrival in The Home of Golf.
Fife offers more than 45 golf courses, making it a great place for getting started or sharpening your golfing skills. As well as Championship greats, you can experience some of the oldest clubs in the world when you play golf in Fife.
Follow in the footsteps of past champions and enjoy breathtaking views with a round of golf at The Old Course in St Andrews. This 600-year-old golf course still challenges today and has hosted The Open Championship more times than any other venue.
As well as the Old Course, there are 10 other courses at St Andrews where you can also take a swing. The New Course is, oddly, more than a century old and was designed by 'Old' Tom Morris, the four-times Open Champion who designed Muirfield, Carnoustie and Royal Dornoch.
In addition to the stunning courses of St Andrews, the region of Fife has other magnificent courses to choose from. The likes of Ladybank Golf Club, Lundin Golf Links or Scotscraig Golf Course all offer an exceptional game, with bags of history.
A more recent addition to Fife's hallowed golfing greens is Kingbarns, located six miles down the coast from St Andrews. Opened in 2000, it was immediately praised as one of the region's finest courses.
The Alfred Dunhill Links Championship takes place over three venues - Kingsbarns, the Old Course at St Andrews and Carnoustie in Angus - every October.
You can also experience the game of a bygone era and try golfing with a difference. Kingarrock Golf Course is the only place in the whole of Europe where you can play hickory golf with old wooden shafted golf clubs. Modern clubs are banned on this 2,022 yard course where you will be provided with a Spoon, Driving Iron, Mashie, Niblick and Putter to work your way around.
To help plan your teeing off time, why not check out the Fife Golf Partnership's new guide, The Fife Golf Trails. Written by renowned golf journalist Malcolm Campbell, the guide offers seven distinct golf trails so whatever your preference, skill or interests, you are bound to find a trail that suits you.
Take advantage of the First in Fife Golfpass for affordable golf with the option of either a three-round ticket for £63 or five-round ticket for £99 on a choice of 13 courses.
With the combination of award-winning sandy beaches, historic castles and attractions, Fife has much more to offer. Why not tailor a break to suit you, and spend time on and off the greens discovering this beautiful region?
Make sure you order the Fife golf guide to find out more.

Are these systems truly recoverable? If not then that's a serious problem
The original blanket statement I replied to, not made by you, was:
My point is that the ability to brick a system through software doesn't make it faulty. Anyone can take flashrom code and write a virus to brick systems. Nobody knows what is at fault here. Clearly the Samsung driver is doing things it's not supposed to - this has already been proven - and there is already a solution in clearing NVRAM.If software can brick the system, then the system is faulty to begin with.
Moral of the story: MMIO is a blessing and a curse.
Are these systems truly recoverable? If not then that's a serious problem
To all the people saying flashrom: no, even that is bad hw design.
The correct thing is to have a good version in ROM, able to be used if a flash fails. Including with third-party utils such as flashrom.
Some older boards generally used a floppy image to recover the BIOS in the event of brickage by user setting a jumper then booting the machine from a specially prepared floppy disk that has a recovery image. In most cases you can't see what's going on on the screen as there's no video support within the recovery firmware code but system will provide beep alerts on progress and success/failure.
I was very happy to read that, since at last someone pointed this obvious fact out.
And then the post ends with this... Sigh. GPT has nothing to do with UEFI, other than its support being mandatory. GPT is not UEFI-specific, and, as a matter of fact, I'm using it in a BIOS machine right now.

These Discraft Extra Long Range Drivers are considered Understable
* Understable is a term that describes a disc's flight pattern. * Discraft Stability Ratings of -0.5 to -1.0 with -1.0 being the more understable. * Understable discs tend to turn to the right when thrown flat, straight and with average power for right handed back hand throws (RHBH). Opposite for lefties. They tend to turn in the direction of the spin during the initial stages of the flight. (All spinning discs tend to fall opposite their spin at the end of their flight as they lose speed). * Understable discs tend to turn in proportion to the speed of release. A fast released disc goes into the direction of its spin longer and further before it eventually falls off to left at the tail end of its flight. A slow released disc will not see much movement in the direction of the spin and will fly straight and fall off opposite the spin direction as it loses speed. * Easiest for new players to control, and will provide the most distance for beginning disc golfers. * Great for beginners but used by pros and experienced players for various shots specialty shots. * Use understable discs for anhyzer shots on a dogleg right or for roller shots. * Understable discs should not be used in a headwind as they are too unpredictable.

The Discraft Elite X Xpress is an extra long turnover driver with stability rating of 0.0 (stable). It is an excellent choice when you need to throw a long slow anhyzer. The Xpress will hold that turnover line and keep on gli…

- 3/2/2015 9:12:14 PM I wouldn't buy it again.. Too expensive yet it doesn't reaaly show the difference after I finished the bottle..not effective - 12/22/2014 10:36:34 PM Using this product for a month or so, instead of tightening the skin, my under eyes skin are even more swollen. The oil n cream doesnt mix well, every time you squeeze the tube, the liquid part(oil?) Comes out first, then the cream. Same goes for the hand cream, it claimed can plump up skin, but no results. Would not buy Strivectin againSrtvectin Eye Serum - 12/20/2014 10:17:13 AM I am 62 years old and this product is working as stated.a long time user - 12/19/2014 4:03:12 PM Strivectin was introduced to me so many years ago I can hardly remember exactly when it was. I have used it consistently except for the rare occasions when I would try something else in its place only to go to back to Strivectin. The lotion is mild and goes on easily. It has a nice consistency and pleasant order.not suitable for thin face - 12/18/2014 5:54:07 AM I have a thin face/small jaw line and this apparatus pulls down on my face so much that it pulls my eyes and ears in a downward position. Contacted the manufacturer but they kept saying it has to be tight not to fall off face, but this is not about being tight, is about pulling down so much it feels that the skin will stretch downwardsstrivectin neck cream - 11/8/2014 3:56:52 AM Have been using this for about 8 months and find that it tightens your neck and jaw line. Sinks right in the skin. A small amount is all you need. Friends have said I have a youthful appearance. I recommend it to all my friends.. When I started it was $40,00 cheaper but as people caught on the price went up. It last a long time so for the money it is worth it.I LOVE THIS - 10/27/2014 3:44:19 PM I have ordered (and used) both tint colors for myself and as gifts for others! It goes on easy, makes my lips feel great, is anti-aging, plumps, and has SPF too boot! I can't say enough about this product!:) - 10/21/2014 8:41:50 AM IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND $ THIS IS THE PRODUCT TO BUY! The Skin Store makes this affordable because of their 20% OFF!!!Great product - 10/12/2014 6:46:30 AM Initially tried this as part of a sampler trio from a big box discount retailer. IMMEDIATELY knew that I had stumbled onto a great product and ordered the full size from Skinstore. I wouldn't describe it as thick but the serum has a dense, substantial quality. It Is not at all greasy, absorbs completely and delivers results. I'm 54 and I'm not overly happy with the appearance of the skin around my eyes. But this serum has worked for me, especially in the upper eye area.wonderful - 10/8/2014 11:12:29 AM To fully appreciate please use for a month to see results -

My mother was an active widow who retired from teaching with thoughts of painting and traveling before dementia took over. Her husband passed away and she fought through that, never letting her spirits drop. Her love of life always shining through. Alzheimer's has stripped those dreams away and now her days are spent battling a disease that is cruel in every since of the word. For those reading this please support our efforts to end those disease so others can live their dreams and let life continue to shine through.
My wife of 57 years has had Alzheimer for four years. So far and I hope forever I will be able to take care of her forever at home. I couldn't imagine waking up in the morning without her by my side. She still smiles and laughs and tells me when we go to bed, how much she loves me. A few months ago, she wondered from our house and had a bad fall. I have taken precausions so that will not happen again. A loud alarm on the door that sounds when it is open, I have someone come in daily for a few hours so I can go on errands. I have heart problems but manage.
I used to be a high functioning person as a transactional real estate attorney. Now I can't work, in fact I was fired from my last two jobs. I started working at age 13 as a grunt maintenance man in a private park. My whole life has revolved around work and education. I even worked full time and went to law school at night. Up until about 4 years ago I was still working, but I got fired twice from my last two jobs, got diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's and now I can't work. I'm now 65 but I was probably 58 +/- when it started.

BULK RATE U.S. POSTAGE PAID ST. IGNATIUS, MONTANA PERMIT NO. 1 59866 Attention: The Senior Citizens are holding a Bazaar December 9th, starting at 9:30 A.M. at the Community Center in St. Ignatius. Bazaar sales will include baked goods, canned foods, hand-crafted items, etc. All donations are welcomed. -Deadline For Applications -(December 15th) HUD Director for the Confederated Tribes Housing Program, Rick Farrell, reports that the ten units ( five duplexes) and a Senior Citizens Center located at St. Ignatius, will be completed approximately the end of December. Handicapped and elderly Tribal members are requested to have their applications in by the 15th of December. Many of our elderly are in need of adequate housing, but have not made application with HUD. Selections will be designated by the Housing Authority Board, after the Dec. 15th deadline. The two-bedroom units are constructed for both single and family occupancy. How well the ten units are accepted ( "or go" ), may depend on future additional units being constructed in the St. Ignatius area. Rick said. The Senior Citizens Center located at the same site, will be rented through the ANA Program, although definite arrangements have not been announced at this time. An "open - house" is scheduled for December 15th - by invitation only. Council Authorizes $800. Dividend Payment On Nov. 17th the Tribal Council authorized an $800. dividend payment for 5,978 enrolled and eligible Tribal members. The Council also designated that Nov. 17th was the cut-off date for enrollment-eligibility, prior to the distribution of payments. No exact date was established as to when the dividend would be made, but will probably be around the 20th of Dec. or sooner. The Tribal Council stipulated that all legal claims against the dividend checks shall not exceed $400. However, Ken Dupuis, Director for Tribal Credit, said that judgements will be filed against the full payment towards delinquent accounts (if necessary). Both Tribal Credit and Tribal Court can file a hold on dividend checks. Non-Tribal debts processed through Tribal Court would have to abide by the $400. hold limit also. The total $4,650,000 Kerr Dam lease settlement for the years 1975-1977 combined with additional Tribal revenue funds make up the dividend payments. P

our family (of four) in marfa, texas
when our dear friend jesse took these pictures of us i had no idea i was pregnant. the fact that our littlest baby was in marfa with us dividing and multiplying makes the already over the top beautiful trip even more special. what's even more strange is that jesse knew i was pregnant before i did. she point blank asked me on the trip and i said no. yes, i was taking more naps, but who doesn't nap on vacation when their toddler is asleep? honestly, i didn't know until i came back a few days later. i can't help but think this baby is infused with the magic of the vast and still landscape that is marfa.
i am now thirteen weeks along and we are so excited that we will have a new little baby in our home. i'm still scheming up ways to document my pregnancy (i'm not showing just yet) and i can't wait to share more thoughts, but for now, some moments of contentedness in texas. there are so many that i love that i'm going to break them up into two posts.
thank you so much jesse and whitney for capturing our family of four for the first time. we love you and feel so blessed that you are part of our family!

If your Windows chops extend in any capacity beyond novice, you've no doubt encountered the ever-cryptic Windows Registry, DLL files, User Account Control, and other tools with seemingly dark and mysterious powers—but you may not know exactly what they do. In fact, some of our favorite Windows-related tricks and hacks require the use of these tools. Here, we'll explain some of Windows' most confusing features, so you know exactly what's happening when you go to edit them.
Some of these things you may already know about, but others may be unknown to even the tech savvier among you (I know I learned a few things writing this piece). We'll be covering 5 different Windows tools here: the registry, DLL files, User Account Control, drivers, and the Group Policy Editor. Scroll down to see more about what these things are, how they work, and what you can do with them.
The Registry
The registry is one of Windows' most confusing tools, but it can also be very powerful if you know what you're doing. The registry is, essentially, a hierarchical database that stores settings and preferences for nearly everything on your system, from drivers and services to your user passwords and user interface. In the old days, application preferences were stored in text files with the INI extension, and while some still are, they've been ditched for the faster, unified registry.
You can edit the registry yourself, if you wish (though you usually need to know what registry "key" you're tweaking before you go in, since they aren't very descriptive). Just go to the Start menu and type
into the search box. From there, you can navigate the tree in the left sidebar, and double-click on the desired key in the right pane to edit it. You might also find, in your daring travels, that some people try to save you trouble by creating .reg files that make the desired registry tweaks with a double click. I'd recommend opening these up with Notepad to make sure they're actually editing the right registry keys (after all, it'd be pretty easy to muck up one's computer this way if one was so inclined), but as long as everything looks kosher, they're a quick and easy way to tweak your system.
Examples of Registry-Related Life Hacks
- Lose the taskbar thumbnail delay in Windows 7
- Stop Windows from adding the word "Shortcut" to every shortcut you create
- Clean up Explorer's "Open With" menu
These are just a few of our favorites; you can see a lot more on our top 10 list of the best registry hacks that power up Windows.
Problems That Can Arise with the Registry
While the registry offers some advantages over INI files, it isn't without problems. Putting all your eggs in one basket always poses a risk. If something were to damage the registry, it could potentially cause problems with your entire Windows installation, not just that one program—which means you'd need to repair the registry or reinstall Windows altogether. This is why registry hacks, though useful, always come with the disclaimer to back up your registry first, as things can go very, very wrong very, very quickly. The registry can also build up a lot of junk if you don't uninstall applications properly, or if the app uninstallers are poorly written.
That said, there isn't much you can or should do about these problems, save for backing up your registry before you go a-tweaking. Registry cleaners are rarely a good idea, and backing up your registry is as simple as creating a restore point, so just stay safe and don't mess with the registry more than you have to. It may be a faulty system, but it's not something you or any other program can make better.
Dynamic-Link Libraries (DLLs)
Dynamic-Link Libraries, usually found on your system as .DLL files, are libraries of code that any program can use. They serve two purposes:
- Since multiple programs can use them at the same time, it encourages people to reuse code, meaning your RAM has to load fewer things and your computer runs a little faster. Dialog boxes are a great example: Since the Comdlg32 DLL can be used by any program, you don't need a bunch of programs loading their own dialog box-related code; they just use the code built into Windows.
- DLLs allow programs to be modular. That is, it allows a program to call on only certain pieces of code rather than loading everything at once, which can slow the program down. You'll find this a lot with plugin-based programs, like Rainmeter or foobar2000. They'll only load the features you actually use, which they can do because DLLs exist separately from one another.
DLLs can also make updating a program simpler, since you won't always have to reinstall the program from scratch—it can just update the necessary DLL files. But, all in all, it makes your system run a bit faster and it allows for customizable, plugin-based programs, which we're pretty big fans of.
Examples of DLL-Related Life Hacks
- Giving Handbrake the ability to rip protected DVDs
- Make iTunes work with multimedia keyboards
- Roll your own killer audio player with foobar2000
Problems That Can Arise with DLL Files
The most common problem people see with DLL files is that they go missing. This problem isn't quite as prevalent as it used to be, at least in my experience, but it's good to know what to do if it does happen. If you get a "____.dll missing" error from a program, you'll probably be tempted to go find the DLL file and download it, but that isn't always the best idea. Instead of heading to a site like DLL-Files.com, you're better off reinstalling the program from scratch, or at least running the "repair" option in its installation (if it has one). Usually, it'll replace whatever it needs, unless there's something wrong with the program itself (which a quick Google can help you figure out).
If you find this happens more than once in a blue moon, there's probably something else going on. Make sure you have good antivirus software running and that you perform regular scans—if DLL files are missing left and right, it's likely that you have some malware on your system, and replacing the DLL files is just going to be a Band-Aid on a bullet wound.
User Account Control (UAC)
User Account Control is a security feature in Windows Vista and 7 that only sort of does what it sounds like. Essentially, User Account Control (UAC) is a way for certain programs to ask your permission before performing system-level changes—like if you're installing a new program or editing system files. That way, malicious programs can't just run without your consent—you're forced to more closely pay attention to which programs have permission to tweak the system.
By default, UAC is set to always notify you when programs try to make changes, but not when you make changes to Windows settings. By heading to User Account Control Settings (which you can search for in the Start Menu's search box), you can make UAC more or less strict, the least strict option being that it never notifies you of any changes. I like to slide it down one notch—to the second from the bottom—since my screen usually takes a long time to dim when popping up UAC prompts, and lowering the UAC level fixes this. Turning it off completely isn't recommended unless you really know what you're doing, since it can let any program run without your express permission.
Examples of UAC-Related Life Hacks
While you can't do much with the UAC, it is something that a lot of tricks require you turn off, so it's important to know what you're doing when you bring that slider down. Here are some examples of hacks that require UAC to be turned off:
- Pin documents to the Windows 7 taskbar
- Enable Blu-Ray playback in XBMC
- Make Your Desktop Look like OS X
Problems That Can Arise with UAC Tweaks
Changing the UAC level isn't going to ruin your computer like a bad registry or missing DLL file might, but installing something you don't trust will—and UAC makes that just a little bit easier, since it won't require those programs to prompt you. The best thing we can say is that UAC is not a sufficient security tool—always remember to keep a good antivirus program around. Even at its most strict, UAC won't be able to tell viruses from regular programs; it just asks you whether you want to run certain things or not. Responsibility is the best protection against malware.
Many of you may already know what drivers are, though they are still considered a "dark corner" by many—and it's important to know not only what they are, but how to manage them properly. A driver is a piece of software that allows your hardware to communicate with Windows. So, whether that means helping your computer communicate with your network card to access the internet or communicate with your webcam so you can broadcast video over Skype, nearly all the hardware on your computer has a Windows driver that allows it to work. Many drivers are built into Windows, while some you need to get from that hardware manufacturer's web site. Sometimes Windows has a barebones version of the driver built-in, and even though your hardware will work out of the box, downloading the official manufacturer driver will give you more features.
Examples of Driver-Related Life Hacks
While I don't really recommend using all-in-one driver update utilities, there are still a few useful tricks we've learned over the years when it comes to dealing with drivers:
- Find information about hardware that Device Manager doesn't recognize
- Get Mac-like scrolling and gestures on a Windows laptop
- Reliably uninstall drivers with the absurdly powerful Device Remover
How to Correctly Manage Your Drivers
When you first install a new piece of hardware, head to the manufacturer's web site and download the latest drivers (don't install the ones on the CD that came with it). This ensures that you have the latest ones, and that you have the official ones from that company, not the half-assed Microsoft drivers that may not update as often or come with extra features. That said, for certain things—like printers—the Microsoft drivers can be better since they don't install tons of other unnecessary software. You need to judge it on a driver-by-driver basis depending on your needs.
When it comes to updating drivers, don't do it willy-nilly. If your driver is working fine, then there's no reason to upgrade unless the new version has some awesome feature or speed enhancement you want. That means video card drivers are often the exception to this rule—each upgrade usually comes with speed enhancements and profiles for new games, so if you're a gamer, you'll want to take advantage of new video card drivers when you can. Of course, if the new ones start to cause problems, you can always roll back, so make a note of what version you're currently using every time before you upgrade.
To check your driver version for any particular driver, just head to the Device Manager (by going to Start and searching for Device Manager), right-clicking on the hardware in question, and going to the driver tab. That will list your driver version, and you can compare that with the current version on the manufacturer's web site to see if there's a newer version available. You can then download the newer version from the manufacturer and install it. I usually avoid updating drivers from the Device Manager, since I never really know what I'm getting—I like to download it straight from the manufacturer itself.
The Group Policy Editor
The Group Policy Editor is a tool you may have heard less about, but it does come up from time to time. It's only available on Windows Professional and higher, so not all users will have it, but it can do some pretty cool things. On the surface, its purpose is to control what users can and can't do, usually in enterprise situations. If you have a computer and you want to block its users from editing the registry, changing security settings, or installing software, the Group Policy Editor is how you would change that. We've featured a few of these features before—namely creating an application whitelist and blocking certain hard drives—but it can do some other cool things, too.
Editing group policy isn't all that different from editing the registry. Head to the Start menu, type in Group Policy, and click on the editor that pops up. You'll have a sidebar on the left with a hierarchical listing of settings you can tweak, both for the computer and the current user, and when you find something you want to change, you can right click on it in the right-hand pane to create a new policy. Like the registry, group policy is also pretty darn cryptic, so you'll probably need to know what you want to do before heading into the editor, so you know which settings to edit and what values to give their policies.
Examples of Group Policy-Related Life Hacks
- Search the internet from Windows' Start menu (or even set it to I'm Feeling Lucky)
- Customize or disable Google Update for Google Chrome
- Remove or hide unwanted items from the Control Panel

A blogger friend left me a message saying she wanted to go vegan but doesn't think taking milk from a cow is cruel because there's no bloodshed.
I understand her hesitation: many of us believe in the "California cow" myth– you know, the one perpetrated by those cutesy ads where dairy cows gossip, graze on idyllic green pastures all day and lie lazily in the sun. The one where, we are led to presume, they will willingly offer their udders to some smiling milkmaid and her soft, gentle hands.
But the reality looks more like this. Dairy farms are usually places where hundreds of cows are packed into muddy lots where they stand in their own feces most of the time, or in small stalls so tight they can barely move. They certainly don't see any green pastures or even the blue sky. Their tails are docked (amputated) without any painkillers — is that something you can even imagine? They are then injected with astronomical amounts of hormones to make them yield unrealistically high quantities of milk. Some cows get so heavy because of all this hormone-pumping that their legs break under their weight. The excessive milking causes their udders to become painful and swollen and often infected.
For those who believe dairy cows are just fine because they don't have to die to give milk, consider this: the average life span of a cow is around 14 years but most dairy cows are slaughtered for their meat around four years of age which is roughly when their worn-out bodies stop producing milk. They are crammed into open trailers and driven hundreds of miles to the slaughterhouses, packed in so tight that they can't sit or rest during this, their final journey. Many collapse from heat exhaustion and are just left there to die. Those who survive will die in a day or two anyway. And here's how that happens: when it's time, they will be prodded with forklifts, sprayed in their nostrils with water and dragged with chains to get them into a box where their heads will be lopped off and their bodies carved into meat for steaks, burgers, roasts and whatnot.
What's worse, the veal industry — which slaughters little calves for their meat– is a direct offshoot of the dairy industry. Cows lactate only when they are pregnant, so to give milk, dairy cows have to be kept in a constant cycle of pregnancy. The female calves they give birth to are retained to replace their moms as dairy cows, but the male calves are separated from their moms within hours of birth and spend the next three or four months confined to crates and tethered by their necks. And then they are killed for their meat.
I'm not pulling all this out of my you-know-what– these are cold, hard facts revealed during investigations by animal advocacy groups such as the Humane Society of the United States. Watch this video even if you don't think you have the stomach for it, and then decide if you can stomach any more dairy.
And if all that's not enough, here's something more. You know how we've been told that milk is vital for growing strong bones. Well, studies by researchers at Yale and Harvard have shown conclusively that people who consume most of their calcium from dairy products break bones twice as easily as those who get their calcium from leafy greens and other calcium-rich vegetable sources. Countries like Japan and China, where people consume very little milk, if at all, have the lowest rates of osteoporosis in the world. On the other hand countries like India and the United States, which consume lots of dairy, have the world's highest rates of osteoporosis. Coincidence? I think not.
Carrots, tofu, leafy greens like kale and spinach, beans, grains, broccoli, seeds and nuts are all rich sources of calcium that's much more easily absorbed by the human body than the calcium in milk. Plus, they taste better.
Here's the bottomline: dairy products are completely unnecessary, even when they come from "humanely" raised cows because, honestly, who ever decided that humans should drink the milk meant for calves? Come to think of it, it's quite a yucky thing to do. Besides, we are the only animals who poach upon the milk of another animal, so shame on us!
And why should we do it, when there are dozens of great, healthier options like soy milk, rice milk, almond milk and hemp milk, vegan cheeses that taste like the real thing, tofu that does a great job of emulating dairy in baked goods, and soy yogurts that make you go mmm.
Finally, to prove that you can eat deliciously sans dairy, here are my Almond Bars with a Citrusy Glaze which I veganized from a recipe in the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion. These bars have a crumbly shortbready crust made with heart-healthy canola oil instead of butter, a chewy, toffee-like almond center that's intoxicatingly sweet, and a lime glaze that will make your tastebuds tingle. And although they look and taste terribly elegant, they couldn't be easier to make.
Enjoy, all!
(Makes 24 bars)
For the bottom crust:
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/3rd cup light brown sugar (can substitute with regular sugar + 1/2 tsp molasses)
1/2 cup of canola or other flavorless vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt
For the topping:
3 tsp EnerG egg replacer + 5 tbsp warm water, whisked together until mixed
3/4 cup light brown sugar (can use regular sugar + 1 tsp molasses)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almonds, chopped
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered or confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp vegan butter or margarine, melted
Juice of 2 limes
Zest of 2 limes
Combine the ingredients for the crust with a fork or a pastry blender. Pat evenly into the bottom of a lightly greased 9 X 13-inch pan with oiled fingers.
Bake the crust for 12 minutes in a 350-degree oven until lightly brown and set.
To make the topping, mix all the ingredients in a bowl, then pour over the prepared crust, making sure it coats the crust evenly. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.
Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until the topping has set.
To make the glaze, mix the ingredients for the glaze into a smooth paste. When the bars are still hot, spread the glaze over the bars or drizzle in a decorative pattern. Allow the bars to cool completely, then cut into bars with a sharp, serrated knife.

Galaxy S IV Smartphone Launches in NYC

Android-leader Samsung puts iPhone 5 on notice
Android phonemaker Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) is scary successful. Its rivals have tried -- and failed -- to use lawsuits to slow its sales. It's so wildly successful that even partner Google Inc. (
) is reportedly
getting a little nervous
The South Korean firm has risen quickly through the ranks, passing Nokia Oyj. (
) in smartphone and featurephone unit sales, and creeping closer to Apple, Inc. (
) in profitability. Tonight in New York City, just blocks from one of Apple's busiest stores at the Radio City Music Hall, Samsung unleashed
its latest flagship mode
l in its best-selling.
With the Galaxy S IV's U.S. launch, its first American launch event for its flagship phone series, Samsung takes another step in its push to shift its marketing, engineering, and management towards the U.S., the world's most lucrative electronics market.
I. Specs
Currently Apple is
sits at the top of U.S. smartphone sales
, but the Galaxy S IV could soon change that.
Here's a breakdown of the phone's specs, versus the phone's chief competitor, the
iPhone 5
(The only items not revealed at the launch event were the price and GPU of the Samsung device.)
Clearly the Galaxy S IV has a much more powerful set of hardware, while being only narrowly heavier/and larger. The
1080p screen
is the real star of the show, although the inclusion of
, the higher resolution camera, microSD, and a removable battery are other niceties.
When comparing the GSIV and its chief competitor, the iPhone 5, the only remaining questions are battery life (given the more powerful CPU) and buyer preference with regard to screen size (while the iPhone screen is lower resolution, some buyers do prefer smaller screens). Clearly some will prefer the slick metal/glass body of the iPhone 5 to the plastic-type case of the GSIV, as well.
II. What's New
Samsung's Head of Mobile Communications, J.K. Shin calls the Galaxy S IV a true "life companion" bragging, "Innovation improves the way people live every day. For each of us, life is a journey. What you want is a device that can help us on the journey. Ladies and gentlemen, the Samsung Galaxy S4."
The device is loaded with proprietary apps -- Knox (a BYOD technology), home sync (which connects various in-home Wi-Fi devices, S Translator (9 language speech-to-text, text-to-speech), and S Health.
The S Health is particularly cool -- it uses the built in accelerometer to track steps taken/calories burned when you're carrying the device, plus features options to track your meals and sleep. S Translator should be handy too; it supports Chinese, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Korean, Portugese, Spanish, and English. The app even can attempt to translate text on signs/printouts using the cameras. The app has mild offline support, with canned phrases.

Home Sync allows you to tap your phone with compatible Samsung NFC devices, like televisions, to pair it. You can then transfer photos wirelessly. The images are uploaded to a 1 TB cloud storage account, which is free for GSIV buyers.
Knox is essentially identical to BlackBerry Ltd.'s (
) recently announced
multi-mode feature in BB10
. The phone can be placed into either a work or a home mode.
TouchWiz on the Galaxy S IV has been glistened up, with a translucent menu bar and other graphical perks.
One are of the UI/firmware that Samsung spent a lot of time on is the camera UI. There's new editing features, and an ability to select still shots from a burst of frames (100 in 4 sec.) -- similar to rival HTC Corp.'s (
) much-advertised technology. There's a new "dual camera", which allows you to simultaneously use both cameras on the device for photos or video; there's composite merging of photos; and there's a new AirView touch-friendly gallery app.
There's also been big improvements on the control side. While Apple and other rivals are still largely confined to static touch on the screen, the GSIV introduces air gestures, via the infrared and proximity sensor. If your hands are dirty or full, you can do a rough gesture over the screen surface to get the phone to perform basic actions.
Air Pause/Scroll [Image Source: The Verge]
The 2 MP front camera also tracks your eyes for both scrolling purposes ("Air Scrolling") and to pause video if you look away ("Air Pause").
As with its tap-to-share technology Samsung has clear differentiating technologies that its competitors lack.
III. The Impact on Apple and Google
Apple is clearly a bit nervous about the Galaxy S IV. Analysts are saying interest in the iPhone 5 has "cooled off". Apple is firing back,
calling the Android ecosystem "fragmented"
, accusing it of being lacking in out-of-the-box service experience, attacking its low pricing, and
calling the OS outdated
But for all the bold talk
Apple's stock
trends, versus Google's tells a different story:
Apple has seen its momentum halted by the
death of its iconic leader Steven P. Jobs
(in 2011) and then by
disappointment over the iPhone 5 sales growth
and hardware. Google, meanwhile has surged as Apple's court bid to ban Android stalled [
], and as its OEM parteners pounced on Apple in terms of hardware offerings.
For Google, the Galaxy S IV is more good news. For Apple it's a major concern. The soonest Apple will respond is mid-to-late 2013 (with what is being called the iPhone 5S). That gives Samsung potentially 5 or 6 months of uncontested market dominance.
Barring unforeseen events (product bans) expect this launch to help sustain both the upward pressure on Google's stock and the downward pressure on Apple's stock.

RE: All these cores and still laggy Android crap
LOL... Yes. Anything that
cant do doesn't matter... I guess thinking clearly is ruled out as well. You name a couple of lame games and you think that makes a platform? ugh... Any and all smartphones and tablets suck for gaming, Apple included... but even including gaming, there isnt anything you can do on an IOS device that you cant do on an Android. there are a TON of things you can do on Android that you cannot with IOS. That is just a fact.
If you like a small screen phone with low res that is missing all that functionality, then the iPhone is good for you . You should keep it. It's certainly fast and for gaming (which as I mentioned sucks on all touchscreen devices) its as good as it gets for that. If that suits you fine, but the iPhone isn't good enough for me. If you like an inferior product that is fine, buy it, but don't crap on superior products because you don't need one. You just come off looking petty and ill informed.
"So if you want to save the planet, feel free to drive your Hummer. Just avoid the drive thru line at McDonalds." -- Michael Asher

text: Anyone seen "Donnie Darko" or "Day after Tomorrow"? I LOVE this man's movies. "Bubble Boy," hehehehe, yeah, I'm not ashamed. Have mercy, this young man has grown into a gorgeous Mr. Universe. He used to be so skinny, walking around in his roles with his shoulders humped up. And you know what? I still loved him. He has THE BEST SMILE in all movie land and his HAIR IS TOTALLY finger-combing good! I'll stop. I mean, I hope I see him in more "Prince of Persia"! I know, I know, I know "Brokeback Mountain" is where he won a Best Supporting nomination... BUT... "Source Code" is for me! It was hard drawing him at first because I just love this guy. But I grabbed myself and focused on the task at hand. I hope you enjoy my ranting and this tutorial as I did. It was FANTABULOUS! Please fav, comment and vote to let me know you like this and you're out there. Love you all and peace! *tighthug*
