thisn seriously looks like vista? do you guys think that this would be like vista?
Not bad at all, but I wish not too many SP update and security alert release for Win7 from MicroSoft.
Just to begin, I am just the average consumer, but I do know enough about computers to get by. I have used Win95, Win98, Win2k (for a short time), experienced WinME (the pain, the pain of it all!), and now run XP. Now the control panel from memory in all of the previous versions has never has so many freakin' icons! It's like the icons and system settings are trying to take over the world (not just the computer). I did however notice in the "address bar" it stated "All Control Panel Items". One could say that all of these icons could and should be condensed into simple icons but still with the customisation, whereas someone with more xperience could see this and shout "OMG CUSTOMISATION HEAVEN!". Just to wrap up (and moving off topic), I have seen Vista, and yes I think Win7 and Vista look similar (or the same), but when did MS get rid of the classic grey windows with the sharp corners? I do believe I still use the "classic" theme in XP because I have a very slow computer with poor graphics. One could say its just evolution. If only MS could evolve an operating system that isn't bloated, and runs on more common hardware, as opposed to massively oversized and requires top-of-the-line gear just to get it started!
Understand that an OS manufcturer has to keep up with hardware advances. What most people don't realize is that hardware manufacturers go to the Microsoft's of the world and give them their design plans for the next five years and most of the time the hardware is getting faster and more powerful so Microsoft must make provisions for what is on the drawing boards of all these hardware companies. Microsoft being the leading manufacturer of an OS that can support all these many manufacturers is not fully to blame for the need for "extreme" hardware to run the OS. By the way have you tried to buy any common hardware from a retail outlet recently. Almost impossible tyo find it here in the States. Most retailers only stock what is currently the latest and greatest. Most common hardware offerings are on line and th eequipment is usually used.
Well it sounds to me like they just try to improve Vista and maybe it is better don't know until i try it but no it doesn't look good i see somebody suggested Ubuntu the Linux i have try on version it ran very fast ;) Thank we need some out of the box thinking signed Just an opinion
And how being such a simple Os it is so fast and how the learnign curve is reduces etc. I used to run a SuSE Linux desktop in early 2000, nothing wrong with it back then execept compatibility with other offices. When in IT it was fine, workign in other areas of an office, it is a hideous though to roll otu Linux, people want production tools, not simple systems. If its slow they just call IT and it is YOUR problem to deal with while they go for a coffee or a second lunch. When making iT decisions, most IT staff seem to consider what THEY think is best for power computing and running network apps, but you need to realize, offic estaff couldn't give a damn about that stuff, they just want what they have at home, what they are used to because THEIR job is not all about computing, they couldn't care less if Ubuntu was more stable and secure than Windows. Windows does what they need it to, if not they call IT and take a break. Oh and the reason everyone is talking about Windows and not Linux flavours is because this post was in the Windows section and titled FIRST LOOK AT WINDOWS, nothing to do with whether people prefer Linux or if it is better or not.
Dude, Chill...
I have Used all flavours of Windows. And Linux it is just the fact that the latest Ubuntu version and Open Office meets all my requirements for useability. Even the DVD side and Networking, I am currently using XP,Vista,Ubuntu.And they all network as they should. And no Glitches YET.Further regarding Windows 7. It is very unlikely to become the new system in Business, It has allready been proven with Vista and this is only a follow on from that with very little to incourage any one to spend the money on it.
Was I talking to you, my mistake. I am chilled, dude in fact I am like uberchilled, man. Its just so stupid that Linux fanboys are always so desperate for a converstaion with like minds that they dig for Windows discussions simply to say how they are so clever to be using Linux. Who gives a rats arse? I certainly don't especially when discussing something completely different. Its like you talking witha friend abotu cars and how you like teh new Camaro. So you begin discussing which Camari year was the fastest and most reliable, meanwhile some other kid wanders up and says, Ferrari makes REALLYfast cars! So fkin what, we were talkign about Camaros and who's talking to you anyway?
Not sure about this windows 7 thing. Looks just like vista....kinda makes you wonder
This looks like a major Opening for Ubuntu. Ubuntu now has support for DVD and the Network Works. ( first time its worked with Vista for me)
If people wouldn't buy Vista, just change the name.
Nice blanket asertions there! I suppose ou don't remember how useless and avoided XP was when it was released, huh? It was a darn sight worse than the Vista release that's for sure. It wasn't until long after SP2 that people stopped downgrading new boxes to Win2K, about the same time MS decided to stop extending 2K support indeifinitely. So, did you forget how BAD XP was when it came out or were you just a bit young to realize it at the time or see the past patterns? Didn't work on anything, no drivers available, the greatest number of security holes and exploits of ALL MS products thus far, bloated, unresourceful, required lots of ram, new processors, if not entirely new hardware. No, you mustn;t remember that, it would show too much of a pattern with MS products. Teh same pattern that has repeated itself wince Windows 3.11 for workgroups was upgraded with Win95, (horrible) then Win98 (Horrible), then Win2K9 Horrible), then WinME (okay that one's STILL horrible) then WinXP (Horrible) then Vista (horrible) then Windows 7 (Horrible) get the picture yet? XP was garbage when released and it will be antiquated garbage again in no time too. Why people even bother ranting about XP and downing the latest flavour is beyond me, hasn't anyone figured it out yet? Vista is WAY better than XP was when it came out, we'll just have to see how much better its gets by the time Win7 is thrust upon unsuspecting consumers.
I have had all the os's and as you mention i have had no problem with any except winme. Love xp and vista, the reason most people do not like vista is the rolling menus, its easy to change to make it look like xp use classic menus. I work on a lot of trouble calls for older clients and they fuss about the new vista machine till i config it for classic menus and they are like wy didn't ms do that? i guess people were not happy with the hroseless carrage at first either or the cell phones. But change is good. may the force be with you always
People that don't purchase new computers typically don't run out to buy the latest Upgraded OS. End users typically get it when they buy a new PC. XP wasn't quite as heavy as Vista and you didn't see people buying new machines and loading Win 98 on them like they are doing with machines with Vista. Vista has exended the life of XP and this has never happened before. Wanna rethink your statement about comparing the switch over from Win ME or 98 to XP Vs XP to Vista?
i totaaly agree here. use what is tried and true and it'll never fail you.. I still prefer XP because when it all comes down it works smoother and way better.
For me, I still XP because like I have always said, use what works. In other words, I'm not going to let myself be swayed by public opinion. It's similar to the whole Mac's Vs PC garbabge. If you are able to do all the tasks you need with what you have, who cares if Joe blow say such and such is better. Heck, if you can get the same performance from a VIC 20 that you do from today's computers, what's the problem?
You have to step outside the box here just a little bit though and look at not just business type of networks but the general consumer, the home user as well. There's been some problems with every OS that Microsoft has put out. Who can forget DOS6 and it's add-in features. Wiped out peoples hard drives. Or the first release of windows 95. 98 was shit until their service pack 2 and ME wasn't stable by any sense of the word. I think Vista is stable, just bloated and requirements to use it effectively jumped, almost exponentially. Business like HP were hoping to sell more new machines and Microsoft seemed to get into bed with them and it all backfired. Y'all present great arguments, hard to really pinpoint what went wrong. A combination of things?
Whe Xp was released I saw alot of clients downgrading new machines to 2000. Xp had the same issues with drivers not playing nicely with the weird new os. Alot of major corporations that were under IT support contracts by the company I worked for never switched to Xp fully untill Service Pack 2. Countless people I knew were asking for w2k cd's after buying laptops with xp. I've ran Vista Business x64 since it was available through MSDN with little to no trouble. Any troubles I did have were 3rd party driver apps, which is not the OS's fault. Cisco refuses to make a vp client for Vista x64, but with their new ASA's you have a Vista x64 solution through Anyconnect. It's way past time to pony up and buy an ASA if you're runing a cisco shop anyway. I can't say my experience with Xp was as pleasant as Vista at the time of it's release, it was horrible up until sp2. And Xp x64 is still a horrible piece of software. Vista x64 offers far superior driver support than xp x64. Myself, I've never bought an os since dos. I've been fortunate enough to have employers provide me with msdn subscriptions so I always at least have access to the latest and greatest releases.
As an IT person (retired now) and a died-in-the-wool geek, I did go out and buy the newest releases shortly after they came out so I'd have some insight whenever the company decided to get new PC's or just upgrade the current ones. Personally, I found ME to be one of the most stable and solid versions since 3.1. After trying XP a few times, I kept going back to ME because I missed that stability. After a few patches and a service pack, I finally left XPsp1 on, and have had XP since. I have bought 2 notbooks with Vista on them, and if it wasn't such a PITA trying to get old OS drivers for new PC's, I would have wiped Vista and put XP on them. On the one notebook that I still have (Gateway M-6850fx) with Vista, it's stable enough, and runs quickly enough. The other (an HP Pavillion) I gave to someone else to fight with. So I guess it is all relative to your personal pain threshold.
When there was no Vista to compare to at the time of XP's release Care to rethink your argument?
So by these pictures it still looks the same, Looks like they are finally focusing on the software, aspect more than just the looks... I guess we will just have to wait and see, how it runs....
I had id for a weekend 6801 and 6936 and it runs very fast on a 2core 4gb desktop a single core 1gb and my hp 9700 2core 3gb looks very clean as well
I still keep to my view that this uses great resources and is a perfect software engineering crisis.. The software that we build will never be able to capture the full use of the minimal hardware resources but continues to use more and more hardware which results in over compensation for the sake of progression at high costs.. Typical, there is no silver bullet for this matter.. I think what needs to be looked at and may prove profitable is the new and upcoming google OS.
I had it twice (6801 and with the Bluecross patch) on a near new notbook with dual core 2gb. It was about 3/4 of the speed of Vista on the same machine. Just goes to show how important user opinions are, huh.
I see this is windows 7 ultimate, 1 of how many variations this time?
With only a couple of slight changes, looks exactly like Vista to me,.......... and that ain't good!!!
I found vista a lot faster, even when MS offered the Bluecross Patch, it still lags something nasty. I don't see the people who avoided Vista, with no knoweledge of why other than it was trendy to say no to Vista, jumping on this Win7 bandwagon as they have been stating all year. I ditched build 6801 it after a few hours, tried again when they released the new patch and ditched that too. I assume you're aware of the torrent download links already, right?
Except for some reason that silly ribbons screensaver likes to hang with aero enabled and an ati card. Whatever... I'm curious to see how 7 feels. At the risk of getting publicly stoned or flogged...I really like Vista (on newer hardware at least). The look and feel seem nice to me. And I'm more than pleased with it's performance on newer machines. By newer machines I mean Athlon X2 or C2D with at least 2 gigs of ddr2800 or above memory, plus a decent gfx card. Can't wait to try out one of these new x58/Core i7 combos. Indeed, Vista bashing is all the rage...
One of my colleagyes have told me this and i beg to say that it works because of the great amount of resources that is needed to run the OS! what happens to those companies who wish to have reliable systems at a low cost in this time of recession?
Sounds illegal, or are we talking a release torrent by MS, the software maker?

Flame and Frost: Prelude
A mystery presents itself in this first entry in a multipart Living Story series. What could be causing such discord in the foothills of the Shiverpeaks? All those poor homesteaders and ranchers displaced with nowhere to go calls into question if the storms could be that bad—or if there's something more sinister stirring up the flame and frost. The ground is shaking, and the sky is falling in northern Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. Norn and charr refugees, crawling from the wreckage of their homes, are fighting their way to shelter in Hoelbrak and the Black Citadel. Many are in shock and wounded; most have only what they can carry on their backs. A call has gone out for volunteers to assist them in their time of need, when the environment itself seems to have become their enemy.
A new Living Story achievement category has been added, which will contain a series of achievements specific to the storylines unfolding in Tyria.
The first Living Story achievement, Refugee Volunteer, has been added. Players who complete this achievement by playing the Flame and Frost: Prelude content will be rewarded with the Volunteer title. They will also receive a karma reward via in-game mail.
More achievements will be added as the Living Story continues to unfold.
New Living Story events have been added to Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau.
Starting shortly after the January 28^th^ update, heralds will begin appearing in cities across Tyria. Their task is to keep adventurers apprised of the events currently underway that are driving the Living Story forward. Be sure to check in with them if you need direction.
Other Content
Persistent world content related to the story of the refugees has been added to Wayfarer Foothills, Diessa Plateau, the Black Citadel, and Hoelbrak. This content will continue to change and evolve as the story unfolds, so be sure to keep checking back.
Daily/Monthly Achievements
A new currency has been added: the laurel. Players earn one laurel for completion of the daily achievement category and ten laurels for completion of the monthly achievement category. This new currency can be spent at laurel vendors in all of the major cities to obtain over 90 items, including:
A new category of infusion, the utility infusion
Ascended amulets
Crafting starter kits
WvW blueprints
Obsidian shards
New boosters, advanced harvesting tools, and crafting trophy bags
A new, unique miniature: Goedulf, the mythical wolf-cub spirit that protects lost norn children
A new, unique miniature: Chauncey von Snuffles III, who placed second in the Divinity's Reach Fanciest Cat competition
Achievement tracking UI has been added to provide at-a-glance information on daily and monthly achievements as well as quick access to the achievements panel.
New daily achievements have been added.
Daily achievements now rotate on a daily basis.
Daily achievements now only have a single tier.
The number of achievement points awarded for daily achievements has been adjusted.
Polished dungeons and removed the ability to use waypoints while any player is in combat.
Dynamic Leveling
Attribute calculations for dynamic level scaling have been rebalanced. In general, this means weaker when adjusted down, stronger when adjusted up. Rewards when adjusted down have been increased to compensate. It is now possible to receive your own level of loot from any level of enemy.
Fractals of the Mists
Players can now reconnect to the Fractals of the Mists if they are disconnected.
Players can now connect to a fractal map even if they are not part of the original group that created the fractal instance.
Players can revive at a checkpoint in fractal maps if the entire party is out of combat.
Players are no longer prevented from entering fractal maps. The difficulty of the fractals is shared, and players will receive rewards based on their "reward level."
Reward level increases as players complete fractal rounds.
If players have a higher reward level than the current fractal difficulty, they will receive bonus karma at the end of a round. However, item rewards are set to the minimum of the fractal scale and reward level.
Daily Fractals of the Mists bonus chests are awarded after defeating the kraken. The rewards are now based off of the minimum of the player's reward level or current fractal scale.
Players may now log in to a world other than their home world as a guest.
On the character select screen, click the "World Selection" button.
Choose a world you would like to guest on and click the "Guest" button.
Select any of your characters and select "Play" to log in to the world you chose as a guest.
Guesting has some limits and restrictions:
You may only guest on worlds in the same region as your home world. Players on American home worlds cannot guest on European worlds or vice versa.
You may not participate in World vs. World for any guest world. If you choose to enter World vs. World, you will be moved back to your home world. Only changing your home world using a world transfer can change your World vs. World participation.
You are only eligible to guest on 2 different worlds at a time. Each time you guest on a world, that world becomes available to play on for the next 24 hours. After 24 hours, you may choose to guest on a different world. You may log in to any active guesting world as many times as you wish with no restriction.
Guesting on worlds that are full or highly populated increases your risk of being put into an overflow map.
While guesting, all guild influence earned will be applied to your home world, and you will only have access to your home world guild benefits, including the guild vault.
World Transfer Fee
It now costs a gem fee to transfer your home world.
Gem fees for world transfers are based on the population of the world you are transferring to.
Each account is still limited to one transfer every 7 days.
Players still cannot transfer to servers that are "Full."
The Risen creatures all across Orr have had their population density adjusted.

Future of Lakers is now for Kobe as 16-year veteran ponders retirement
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Stretching on the floor of the Lakers' practice floor, Kobe Bryant was as vulnerable as you will see him on a basketball court. He was flat on his back, getting the kinks worked out by a member of the Lakers' training staff -- the old bones moving this way and that, the odometer reading 51,000 minutes (regular-season and playoffs) and counting.
But for how long? How long until this vintage model must be traded in for something younger and newer -- something that will endure in a league that is so much different than the one a cocky, Afro-domed Bryant joined way back in 1996?
At 34, after the first two days of training camp as he embarks upon his 17th NBA season, Bryant was in a reflective mood last week. He'd already spoken of how this might be the most talent that's ever surrounded him in a Lakers uniform, and how his improbable union with Dwight Howard is about both today and tomorrow -- about the chase for his sixth championship and the inevitable passing of the baton to Howard. Bryant made clear last week as the media descended in full force upon Lakerland that this is still his team, but again he used the words "after I'm gone" to describe the franchise's future under Howard's leadership.
When will he be gone? When will the most masterful, historically important basketball career this side of Michael Jordan's be chiseled in stone, the way some might joke that his first NBA contract was?
Speaking with CBSSports.com in a quiet moment after practice, Bryant conceded that, in all likelihood, the finish line and the conclusion of his current contract will be one in the same. Bryant has two years left, and though he was careful to point out, "One can never be too sure," he made it clear in the next breath it's almost unfathomable he would play beyond 2013-14, which would be his 18th season.
"It's just that three more years seems like a really long time to continue to stay at a high, high level of of training and preparation and health," Bryant said. "That's a lot of years. For a guard? That's a lot of years."
Even after visiting the fountain of youth in the form of a knee procedure in Germany that allowed him to average nearly 39 minutes per game last season, Bryant senses that the end is near -- and not only for his knees, wrist, ankles or other body parts, but also for his incomparably competitive mind. The window, he is ready to acknowledge, is two years. Two more chances to catch Jordan.
"It's not about health necessarily," he said. "It's about 'Do I want to do it? Do I have that hunger to continue to prepare at a high level?' "
Bill Parcells, a competitive sociopath from another sport, used to say that if you're talking about retirement, it means you've basically already retired. To hear Bryant, the most cutthroat basketball combatant of his generation, speak about the day -- the moment -- when his smoldering desire to win finally will be extinguished, was something to behold.
So much so that the next question -- about whether Bryant would ever change his mind and hang on for an extra year or two as a role player averaging 15 points just to pad his championship resume -- needn't have been asked.
"That's not gonna happen," Bryant said. "That's just not me."
Had the Lakers' offseason continued deep into summertime in the uneventful manner in which it began, this would've been an entirely different, much more wistful conversation. The Lakers had maxed out their existing roster with a second straight exit in the conference semifinals, and Bryant knew it. The Chris Paul elixir had been snatched from Bryant's eager fingertips before he got a chance to drink of it, and the Lakers were coming from way back in the field in the yearlong Howard chase -- never really appearing to be in the race until the end.
Given his intense desire to finish his career with one more championship to equal the six titles achieved by Jordan, and considering the Lakers' inability to rise to the challenge presented by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the West, it should've been enough to push Bryant into conceding his chase was over. It should've shaken his belief that the Lakers could reinvent themselves one more time, could deal Bryant a championship hand once more before it was over.
"Nope," Bryant said.
Even before general manager Mitch Kupchak pulled Steve Nash and then Howard out of thin air, Bryant had never lost belief the Lakers would be back for one more run -- one more climb up the championship mountain, the Mount Rushmore of the sport.
"Right after the series against Oklahoma, I just had a lot of belief in our organization," Bryant said. "I knew how much the Buss family, Jeanie and so forth, wanted to turn it around. I had a lot of faith in the organization. I've seen them do it. They rebuilt first by picking up Shaq ... then that era was over and they rebuilt again. And now they've rebuilt again. I've seen them do it before."
Though Bryant perhaps will benefit most directly from Nash's willingness and ability to handle the ball and shoulder playmaking responsibilities, the latest reinvention of the Lakers will hinge on Bryant's relationship with Howard. The improbable union of Bryant with another bigger-than-life center whose opinion of himself matches (and perhaps exceeds) his accomplishments is proof that history can and does repeat itself. But in the honeymoon period of their basketball marriage, Bryant and Howard have displayed none of the signs of the alpha-dog feud that doomed the Kobe-Shaq experience during the Lakers' millennial dynasty.
After Bryant proclaimed the obvious at media day -- this was still his team -- Howard lodged no protest. After Shaq -- a nemesis that Howard and Bryant share -- lobbed his latest made-for-entertainment cocktail into Lakers camp by omitting Howard from his list of top NBA centers, Howard fired back with this: "Shaq played the game. He's done. He's gone. It's time to move on."
What better way to curry favor with Bryant than to belittle Shaq? So far, they're both making all the right moves and saying all the right things. In fact, even before the Shaq-Dwight exchange last week, Bryant offered a vigorous defense of Howard in his conversation with CBSSports.com, calling out Howard's critics as "silly."
"I don't think he needs to understand anything [about being a Laker]," Bryant said. "I think he just needs to come in and do what he normally does. There's some things that I'll teach him just in terms of the approach to the game and how to manipulate defenses and things like that. But I think he just comes here and has a good time. He has a great personality, which is perfect for this city."
As for Howard's clowning persona clashing with the elegance and responsibility of being a Laker, Bryant said, "I've heard that, but I think that people confuse that with his effectiveness. He's had an incredible career. Lack of focus is what, because he hasn't won a championship? He went against teams that were just better. He's won, what, three defensive player of the year awards? That's kind of tough to say a person lacks focus when he has three defensive player of the year awards. That sounds a little silly."
Now that he can see the finish line, Bryant's focus has expanded beyond the court. With a debilitating lockout looming last spring, Bryant openly took shots at the owners, saying at one point they "need to look in the mirror." Then, during the key financial negotiating moment of the work stoppage -- a year ago last week, on Oct. 4, 2011, at the Westin Times Square -- Bryant was part of a small group discussion that proved to be the economic tipping point of the labor talks. Along with union president Derek Fisher (a close friend and teammate) and the Celtics' Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett (his rivals and foes), Bryant was involved in the moment that shaved more than a billion dollars off the financial difference between the two sides. Bryant's insistence on walking away from a 50-50 deal on BRI that day was later portrayed as a potential deal-killer, but it actually laid the groundwork for the settlement that ultimately was reached six weeks later.
The absence of union executive director Billy Hunter from that sidebar negotiation was far more significant than we knew at the time. A deep rift and distrust existed between Hunter and Fisher, who has since inspired a review and federal investigation of the union's business dealings that have left Hunter clinging for survival. And while it's hardly surprising that Bryant would support Fisher, a friend with whom he has won five championships, union member No. 24's refusal to so much as throw Hunter a benefit-of-the-doubt lifeline was awfully telling.
"I support Fisher 100 percent," Bryant told CBSSports.com. "I mean, he's the head of our [union] and you have to trust -- and I know just from knowing him -- that he does everything in his power to help the players out, 110 percent, even to his own detriment. So I think it's important for us as players to always stick together in that situation."
Then, a line from Bryant that reads like a death knell for Hunter's tenure.
"You can always hire new people to come in and manage the situation," Bryant said. "But as players, if we don't stick together and rely on our unity, then we have nothing."
Asked if he was simply supporting Fisher because they're friends and not necessarily doubting Hunter -- who has made a lot of NBA players, including Bryant, very wealthy -- Bryant hinted that there was more to his opinion than loyalty.
"It's easy for me because I've been really close to the situation with Derek," Bryant said. "I've had in-depth conversations with him about what he's trying to do with our players. I've had those conversations with him. I personally side with D-Fish."
Spoken like a man with years and weight behind his words, a champion who can see the end and is comfortable with whatever comes next.

1) It's interesting that it's only about catching Jordan when it comes to the media and even from Kobe himself. Not surpassing Jordan with 7, but catching him with 6.
2)I think Kobe will definitely retire in 2 years. I think he wants to go out on top and not play like Wizards Jordan.

"What people don't know is that this is one of the guys who I've been talking to for about four years now," Howard said. "And he has been an amazing help to me, just pushing me in ways — secretly because we played in the Eastern and Western Conference. But it's been him just talking to me, showing me how to do certain things with my team and things like that…
"I told [Bryant] as soon as I got here, 'Hey, I want to be one of the greatest to ever play. I want you to push me every day,' " Howard said. "And he was like, 'I'm going to push you, because I see something in you, and I want to make sure that I do my part.' And I promised him that I'm going to do whatever I can do."
"He's got all the physical attributes," Jackson said. "He is a player that can play four positions. Except for perhaps the center spot, which he hasn't (been) given a shot at yet, he can play those other four positions quite well. This is unique; Michael could play three and was very good at all three of those, but as a power player that LeBron can become, I think he has an opportunity to explore and advance some of the status that he has already gained."
Jordan still has five more championships than James, which is the major factor in any such conversation. But James is 27, a year younger than Jordan was when he won his first title under Jackson in 1991. Jackson believes that if James can stay healthy, he could chase Jordan's standard.
"Winning six championships is an elusive thing out there, and they haven't won two yet," Jackson said. "But he's kinda got the smell of it, and even the Olympic experience this summer, he was the granted leader of that team and was the critical player when they needed something to happen in the final games. I think he's there, I think he's at that position. He's got good things ahead of him and a lot of it depends upon if he's gonna be healthy for the remainder of his career."

I have lived in Chicago for the past 7 years, and this is the first time that I have been able to experience the Holiday Train. For the duration of my commute home from The Hampton Inn & Suites I could not help but smile. Generally my work commute consists of me playing words with friends and listening to Pandora on my phone. But this time it was different, as I mentioned I could not help but smile.
As the train pulled into the Grand station, one block away from the Hampton Inn & Suites, my eyes widened and I felt a wave come over me of true holiday cheer. The train is a little bit shorter than a regular train, roughly about six-cars long. It is decorated with holiday seasonal images and thousands of multi-colored lights on the outside of the cars as well as on top. It is truly amazing how a little holiday cheer brightened up my day on my way home from work.
The best part about the experience is that Santa and his elves were also riding the train with me. As we pull into each station, Santa would waive to the boarding passengers from his sleigh on an open-air flatcar carrying his reindeer and decorated holiday trees. There were a lot of families and children so it was a little crowded, but their faces truly made my experience that much more pleasant. Santa would stop to visit with the children on the train and his elves would help him pass out candy canes and season's greetings.
When coming to Chicago with your family, I would recommend taking one ride. It is definitely worth it! According to the CTA, the holiday train operates from about 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on select weekdays and will be running through the rest of December as part of regular rail service. Normal CTA fares apply.
Happy holidays, and I hope to see you on the train!

Due to the Christmas Holidays and the harsh economic times, the city took steps last month to try and give parents a little more time to get their kids involved in the city's youth basketball league that will start next month.
The original sign-up deadline, slated for December 30, was moved back to January 15.
That means that Saturday will be the final day to sign kids up for participation in the league.
The season was originally scheduled to start on Monday, but that date will likely be pushed back as well.
Youth baseball, softball and t-ball sign-up dates began earlier this month as well on January 3.
The sign-up for those sports ends on February 28, as the Parks and Recreation Department is looking to get an April 4 start to the Dizzy Dean season.

Penguin Rocks
Penguin Rocks

Item #
- Design House: Original Penguin
- Fragrance Notes: green apple, bergamot, lavender, clary sage, cypress
- Year Introduced: 2012
No reviews written for this product
1 - 5 (of 1 Reviews)
I have all three of the original penguin colognes and Rocks is the best of the 3. I like the original penguin scent as a close second, but I always get complements from Rocks. This is a great spring/summer fragrance and I'm surprised that I am the first to review this here. This is a heavyweight underground fragrance. If you liked Candies for men (which has been incredibly hard to find within the last 7 years) this is an excellent alternative. The scent: think Candies meets Sculpture by Nikos; the ladies love Rocks by O.P.

The function presented here is useful if:
- You've got one environment used to create many targets (too many to start messing with).
- The environment is configured differently for different platforms/compilers/etc.
- Some platforms/compilers/etc. need an additional source file to be compiled in order to work properly. This can be, for example, a replacement for a library that is not available on a certain platform.
This function wraps a given emitter with another emitter that adds another file to the source nodes.
Replaceable emitters (as of SCons 0.96.90):
PROGEMITTER - emitter for Program builder
SHLIBEMITTER - emitter for SharedLibrary builder
LIBEMITTER - emitter for Library builder
The Function
1 def add_file_to_emitter(env, emitter_name, file):
2 try:
3 original_emitter = env[emitter_name]
4 if type(original_emitter) == list:
5 original_emitter = original_emitter[0]
6 except KeyError:
7 original_emitter = None
8 def emitter(target, source, env):
9 if original_emitter:
10 target, source = original_emitter(target, source, env)
11 return target, source + [file]
12 env[emitter_name] = emitter
Example Usage
In this example, the environment is searched for a library called somelib. If this library is not found, add_file_to_emitter is called to add somelibreplacement.c to every program built using the environment.
-- AmirSzekely
Changing the Emitter for StaticObject
If you want to change where a builder finds its C/C++ source files, you want to change the emitter for the StaticObject builder, aka Object. Unfortunately, there is no OBJEMITTER currently defined, but another way to do it is shown below.
1 # Assuming the BUILD_DIR is set to the location of the generated files
2 # and some other generated files are in OTHER_BUILD_DIR
3 def my_emitter(target, source, env):
4 ''' Tell SCons about the locations of some generated files. This could
5 be any emitter you want'''
6 if os.path.exists(source[0].path):
7 # The source file was generated in the local build directory
8 return (target, source)
9 altSrcName = source[0].abspath.replace(env['BUILD_DIR'] + os.sep, '')
10 if os.path.exists(altSrcName):
11 # The source file is in the source directory
12 return (target, altSrcName)
13 # Assume that the source file is in the other generated files build directory
14 altSrcName = "%s/%s%s" % (File('#'), env['OTHER_BUILD_DIR'],
15 source[0].path.replace(env['OTHER_BUILD_DIR'], ''))
16 return (target, altSrcName)
17 # This is the part where we override the emitter for the Object builder
18 from SCons.Tool import createObjBuilders
19 # Get the underlying builder objects
20 static_obj, shared_obj = createObjBuilders(env)
21 # Now SCons can find .cpp files in different locations
22 static_obj.add_emitter('.cpp', my_emitter)

As posted elsewhere this time I am doing something a bit different - playing two hours of records on the Chess label from the later "dark" years of the Chess empire. In the required Soul People style this will be a mix of crossover, funky, deep, and steppers. All off of 45s, and all on Chess. Very few are really rare and most of these are available with a bit of searching., even though a number are quite obscure.
The years feratured are not the widely acclaimed classic soul years for Chess (OK we all know the TNJs, Vibrations and Free Spirit) but features music from 68 onwards and after the main acts started drifting away from the label. It encompasses the years when Chess was a shell company under GRT, buying in mostly songs from other Cities such as DC, NY and SF.
Promise some interesting stuff and I'll garnish it all with what I hope you'll find is some interesting info on some of these obscurer names under the Chess logo.

Mukilteo tour combines quilting, gardening
Glenn Shadduck controls one of his model trains as it crosses a custom made bridge in his backyard garden. The Shadducks are part of the Mukilteo Garden and Quilt tour July 20 and 21.
Sean Ryan / The Herald
A quilt titled "Super Scrappy Stash Buster" designed by Sydney Hoard is on display in Barbara and Glenn Shadduck's garden for the Mukilteo Garden and Quilt Tour.
This Lynnwood couple can't get enough. They have 550 feet of track and a bonanza of boxcars.
The chug of a locomotive harmonizes with the tranquility of their home on the banks of Lake Serene.
Glenn and Barbara Shadduck combine their hobbies of railroading and gardening.
He runs the railway. "I weed and I feed," she said.
It is the first-ever garden railroad to be featured on the Mukilteo Garden and Quilt Tour, which runs July 20 and 21. The self-guided tour, held every other year, is an unusual venture by Mukilteo Way Garden Club and Mukilteo Lighthouse Quilters.
"It's a collaboration and an overlap of interests," quilter Wendy Stafford said. "We match all the quilts to the gardens they will be shown in."
Admirers can do more than look.
"There are 14 quilts for sale, from $35 to $600," Stafford said. Members from both clubs will be at each home to answer questions about quilting and gardening.
Garden themes include Asian, cottage, historical, natural, dahlias, water wonderland and train yard.
"We try to make it a very eclectic mix," garden club spokeswoman Jean Skerlong said. "We don't want anybody to say, 'Oh, the last one looked just like this.'"
Organizers hope to get 1,000 people at the two-day event. That's no problem for the Shadducks, who enjoy entertaining droves of people. Their yard is a tour stop for railway hobby conventions as well.
The lake is the backdrop for the hillside G-scale model railway that winds around replica buildings, plants and a pond. Miniature quilts were made to hang in the railway scenarios during the tour.
"The train can be seen from different angles. It changes how you see the trains. The trains hide in the trees," Barbara Shadduck said.
At night, the engines come in the house.
So, too, do some of the flowers.
"I have a lot of roses. I love roses and lilies, things I can pick and bring in the house," she said. "I love the guys that have a huge cut life that last so long when you pick them."
It fits with the rule of thumb for what goes into her garden: "If it doesn't bloom and I can't pick it and take it in the house, it loses its place."
Barbara Shadduck and the house go way back. "My parents bought it the year I was born. We lived in it until I was in the fifth grade."
The home stayed in the family. She and Glenn moved into it when they returned from overseas from his military service. Flowers and grandkids are the focus of her nurturing since she retired from teaching first-graders seven years ago.

The One-Liner, Emoticon Man
Jun 19th 2013 new
Have any of you received a seemingly perpetual influx of one-liner, emoticon messages from a member, without ever any discussion? This has happened to me for several months now, and the 'man' (if he is a man) won't respond to any questions, he won't say anything he can't say with an auto emote, and yet he doesn't give up. He doesn't have a photo, and I wonder if this is some odd-ball married man somewhere just scopin' out Catholic chicks.
Why would someone do such a thing?

Wold resigns as Monroe basketball head coach
Spent five years as head coach, led Bearcats to state in 2011
Wold has spent 10 years as a coach in the boys basketball program at Monroe, the past five as the head coach.
Under Wold, the Bearcats made the 4A District 1 playoffs each of the past three seasons and in 2011 were co-Wesco 4A North champions with Arlington. They also advanced to the 4A state tournament that same season, their first in 17 years.
"(Wold resigning) is a huge loss, not only for our boys basketball program, but for our athletic program as a whole," Wille wrote in an email.
Wille added that the search for Wold's replacement will begin immediately.
Wold said he felt the program was equipped to handle the change.
"I just felt it was the right time for me and my family and also for Monroe basketball as a whole," Wold said. "I really feel like our program is at a place right now where handling change would be an easy piece for the next person to come in and transition."
Wold said the feeder program of elementary and middle school kids is in a good position for the program to be successful in the future and the varsity team has experience returning next season.
"It's perfect timing for the players we have coming back in our program," Wold said. "I really feel that the coach coming in will see some success because we return some fantastic players and some people that really believe in playing the game the right way. We return six players that started at some point this past season."
Wold hasn't ruled out a return to coaching down the line, but only when he knows he is ready.
"Really my goal now is to just sit back and be reflective over my past 10 years and really think about my craft and think about way that I can improve," he said. "I think if you are not trying to improve than you are probably getting worse.
"I'm going to be reflective about my time in the past 10 years and see how I can improve as a coach and spend a year, six months, five years or however long it takes for me to really feel that I'm going to be comfortable to go back into it."
Wold coached Monroe to a 55-51 victory over Arlington in the regular-season finale in 2011, clinching a share of the league title and the No. 1 seed in the district tournament thanks to the Bearcats head-to-head record against the Eagles. The Eagles were the coaches' preseason pick to win the league that season.
Monroe guard Slava Ulanovskiy scored a game-high 20 points including a pivotal four-point play in game's final minutes that helped the Bearcats claim victory.
After struggling in the 4A ranks for nearly a decade, the 2011 season was an opportunity for Wold and Wille, the former Monroe boys head coach, and others to see all the hard work they had put into the program pay off.
"I thought that was a pretty special year," Wold said. "That's definitely the highlight of my coaching career, that season with all those young men."

Contacts is a group of ten sculptures which was displayed in 1997 on five consecutive days in five different squares of the central Helsinki, Finland. In the same year, it was also presented in the Cable Gallery, Helsinki, and in my solo exhibition in Oulu Art Museum.
Contacts consists of bars which I have created by combining naturally twisted, charred pine branches and geometrical, industrially produced and painted pine. I wanted to emphasize the different, even opposed characters of the basically same substance. The relation between repetition and variation served as a starting point to the project. The outcome is something both organic and artificial. Strange creatures from an unknown planet. A team of mutant athletes. Or a wandering neon-forest. An urban garden where two elements, strange to one another and yet, of the same substance, come into contact.
The sculptures are operating with the tension between order and disorder, thus referring to danger and something marked off. The sculptures can be 'read' in two ways: either as a movement from the 'chaos' of nature to the 'ordered' state of culture or from the cultural functionality to the free rhythms of nature. In these barriers, coincidence and control are united. On the background of this work there is also an experience of ambivalence: in the late modern society, technology is trying to maintain a fictional security.
Kaski ('Burn-beating') is a public art work which I made in 1994 to STOA Cultural Center, Helsinki, Finland. In it, burnt snag surfaces have been framed by the colour combination of warning bars: red and yellow. The hard-edge geometry with its basic colours encapsulates a microfragment of the burnt-beaten landscape. As in Contacts, my aim was to examine the contrary qualities of the same material, pine.

Point is, the guy JUST signed a long term contract. He ain't going anywhere. He's got some flaws in his game. He's also one of the better defenders, has pop and a knack for driving in runners.

Comments about Velocity Rim Plugs:
These things are fantastic! But there is a lot of mis-information out there about them. I've even heard a wholesaler who supplies them diss the product for "causing flats". I can assure you, I've ridden these for over three years and have NEVER had a flat caused by them.....including on a fully-loaded cross-continental tour.
The Veloplugs are touted by the manufacturer for being lighter than rim-tape. (But that is a pretty weight weanie concern.) Their real advantages are:
(a) Allows replacement of a spoke by removing only one plug rather than removing all the tape
(b) Reusable (I've used the same set of Veloplugs over three or four wheel-builds)
(c) They take up less space inside the tire than rim-tape, which means it is much, much easier to install new, tightly fitting tires
The ONLY downside to these, and it is a significant consideration, is that they aren't compatible with every rim/manufacturer. Obviously, they work great with any Velocity rim. But they won't work with rims which have double (internal) ferrules. Velocity makes various diameters of Veloplug for different drillings of the internal rim hole. However, even if you get the right drilling, some rims may not have enough depth on the inner cavity to allow the Veloplug to completely snap in. And, obviously, these won't work with single-wall rims at all.
It's nearly impossible to know if the Veloplugs will work with a given rim until you try them. So you may have to just risk it and be prepared to down-grade to rim-tape if things don't pan out. However, these are so worth it, I'd risk it. Hopefully more and more manufacturers will realize the value here and make sure they design their rims to be compatible.

Comments about Velocity Rim Plugs:
These little plugs are light. They work well.
Unlike rim tape. You can remove them, to change a spoke.
Don't be fooled. It's a lot more work to install them, then rim tape!
If your plugging 32 or 36 holes per rim.
It takes some time. But I think it is worth it.
Make sure you get the right size, as there are two sizes.
I would use these over rim tape, on any clincher wheel build.
