Heineken Cup Pool 2: Baxter frustrated by soft penalties
In the first half we played with real intent and the attitude that we took on to the pitch following last week was absolutely fantastic.

Exeter boss Rob Baxter admitted his side put themselves under unnecessary pressure in their 44-29 Heineken Cup victory over Cardiff Blues.
The Chiefs had raced into a 41-3 lead before having two men sent to the sin-bin in the final quarter, when they shipped four tries.
"I think it doesn't matter who you play, when you go down to 13 men you put yourself under a bit of pressure and we got ourselves down to 13 men pretty unnecessarily," said Baxter.
"That flipped the whole game. Going down to 13 men, you are going to struggle a little."
Baxter was thankful, therefore, for the efforts of his players before the break, as they picked up where they left off after last weekend's Aviva Premiership victory at Gloucester.
"In the first half we played with real intent and the attitude that we took on to the pitch following last week was absolutely fantastic - not just a good attitude to attack the game but also the physicality and strength of the carries.
"Obviously the battle for us is to keep the quality for longer periods and when you end up on the defensive side, you don't end up conceding a couple of relatively soft penalties for a knock-on and an across-the-chest tackle.
"To give up a couple of those when you don't need to is a bit frustrating."
Cardiff host reigning Heineken Cup champions Toulon and the Blues' director of rugby Phil Davies will be keen to avoid a repeat of Sunday's first-half horror show.
"We talked at half-time," he said. "We didn't do anything that we said we would do, particularly for our kicking game and, that gave them too many opportunities to come back at us.
"I think we had to make 100 tackles and we missed 20 and that is not good enough at this level.
"We have to give Exeter credit for the way that they played but in the second half we were a bit more like it.
"They are a good attacking side but we came back second half to score those four tries.
"The first half was gone and we had to something about it - which we did and got some points back on the board.
"We had far more control on the game in the second half, far more field position. To get four tries was pleasing to get that point in the end to give us some momentum going in to next week.
"We'll fix up what we need to fix and we will go in to Toulon with a bit of momentum."

The Maharashtra Unit of Samajwadi party has advised congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi to go on long vacation abroad and come back to India only after Lok Sabha elections are over.
Launching the election campaign of the party in Mumbai on Tuesday, Farhan Azmi, the general secretary of the youth wing of the Maharashtra unit of the Samajwadi party, said,"Rahul has done nothing for the country despite being in power for 10 years. He didn't speak a word over all those scams happened during UPA rule. And now suddenly, he emerged only few months before election. People are not fool."
Farhan, son of party's state chief Abu azmi, contemplates to contest from the South Mumbai seat currently held by the union minister Milind deora.
Interestingly, the SP is supporting the UPA government at the centre from outside.
Launching a verbal attack on rahul, azmi also said, "Rahul should go on long vacation abroad instead of waiting his time and energy in this election. He can come back later to try his luck next Lok Sabha election."
He also accused Rahul of stealing AAP's ideology to present himself as the champion of anti-corruption. "He has lifted the AAP's ideology for electoral gains. You can't win on someone else's ideology."
Helpline for religious discrimination?
The SP has also floated a helpline (9867705555) to address the cases of religious and racial discrimination. "Anyone who is denied a house or any other facility because if his/her religion, he or she can lodge complaint on this number. We will address the issue taking help from the government," said junior Azmi. The party has been accusing the state government for the differential treatment of the Muslims since long.

I have installed the wire ones in one home and the wooden ones from Lowe's.
I agree that they are cheap, but I needed to do something to replace the wire shelves that came with the house, but I was not going to pay 900 bucks for one small closet like my neighbor.
I could not find another reasonable alternative and I needed something quick.
I have considered building some from scratch but I am concerned with how I will build the drawers with the hardware. That is new ground for me.
I might just do one or two closets like you have.

Episode #41
Elaine Stritch
Monday, May 13, 2013
In 2013, Alec sat down with the late stage and screen veteran who, among many famous roles, played his mother Colleen Donaghy on 30 Rock. Stritch spoke to Alec about her transition from the Sacred Heart Convent and finishing school to finding herself in the New York theater classes sitting between Walter Matthau and Marlon Brando. She performed for nearly 70 years and throughout career, Stritch comments, "I was the funny kind of offbeat girl. I was never the romantic lead."

Sacs in the city . you're a numbskull..... &, it's not an interview,its a dialogue. it's different,and in a way, even better. Terry[Gross]is fine,but this is different,and can get to places Gross can't. plus,he's an insider,fool;don't ya get that,he's going to be conversational!
I think Alec Baldwin is a mediocre interviewer and jarring to listen to. He ought to listen to Terry Gross if he wants to improve his technique. Alec cuts people off, steps on people's lines, talks too fast and too much about himself. Alec, the interviews are NOT all about YOU, sir! Just sayin...
What a wonderful interview. Alec(x) Baldwin and Elaine...it's like listening in on a drunken afternoon catch-up. Awesome.
you and burt Reynolds would be hilarious together.
I love the way Elaine calls him Alex throughout.
Deliberately I think.
good subjects and questions get started but sometimes Alex"cuts off" changes subjects or finishing sentences before the question or story gets finished.. frustrating..You Must Listen and let the subject "get it out' without interjecting and "Helping" ..study Cavett.. always followed though.. too much I" and Alex .. maybe it's a curve, cmon Alex take a tiny step back..
I'm glad to see I'm not the only enjoying the show. Alec is wonderful. It feels like I'm sitting at the next table listening to a wonderful conversation. Please chat with more Broadway people. I'm on the west coast and we hear nothing here. Elaine was so fascinating and Patty Lapone and Alec were amazing.
I am falling in love with this show I first listened to Debbie Reynolds and then Elaine's interview and just enjoyed them so much! Thank you Alec for doing this show.
Dear Alec,
You are MEANT to interview! Yes, you're a great actor, etc., and so on, but you truly have a unique gift. Your genuine enthusiasm, knowledge, and interest in your interviewees is quite evident. Additionally, you know how to keep things moving along at just the right pace, adeptly getting things back on track when slightly derailed (but the tangential subjects are often just what the doctor ordered as well).
I'm a teacher. I tend to be wordy. Mea culpa. What I'm trying to say in a nutshell is - THANK YOU. I've enjoyed every one of your podcasts. I commute 1.5 hours each way to work, and your smooth voice, quick wit and on the mark insights help the time fly by. MORE PLEASE!
Best in all of your pursuits,
Deidre Hensley - Grateful 6th Grade Teacher/Commuter
Wow - "I could write a book" about my feelings on this interview and on my own brief experiences with both of them. First, Alec strikes exactly the right notes on every interview he does because it's like eavesdropping on two people in private conversation. So many interviewers just read off a list of prepared questions without regard to what the guest says next, or thinking to follow-up. (I was surprised he didn't ask her the name of the man who took her virginity - after the Kirk Douglas Palm Springs story, but hey ....) Most important, Alec always shows his real self, reminding me of how Dick Cavett conducted his interviews. I wish there were a time slot that Alec could take over and do his style interview show on TV - he'd knock everyone's socks off.
As for Stritch, Alec is so right about how everyone loves her despite her being a pain in the ass. I never worked with her and PIA stories about her are legendary - but when I was a B'way house manager she was a frequent guest in my office during intermissions, along with her diabetes gear, and always a charmer. I'd seen her in just about everything she ever did since opening night of "Sail Away" in Boston(1960)and can't think of a living soul - in the theater or out - whom I admire more.
Wonderful interview. Elaine is such a treasure. I look forward to watching your documentary.
Dear Alec,
Don't think I didn't notice that Elaine called you "Alex" three times, and then around the time of the orange juice, the tape was paused for a second or two, and from then on, she called you "Alec".
Attentive Listener
Is Elaine drunk? Sounds so.
Fascinating and excruciating at the same time. I have to agree about the research part... I was saying A DELICATE BALANCE as soon as she mentioned Albee. THE LADY FROM DUBUQUE? THREE TALL WOMEN? Really, Alex?
Alec's interviews often veer between being annoyingly chummy and charmingly intimate, and I'm not sure he's aware how very fine the line between the two is. His tendency to over-empathize with his guests ("me too!"), especially with other performers, gets in the way of our discovery of his interviewees because we continually have to hear another Alecdote that is supposed to bring him closer to his subject, yet ends up estranging us at the same time.
This interview with Stritch is probably the worst I've heard him do. We don't need to hear the assistant fetching orange juice or pricking fingers to check blood sugar. Not charming, not interesting, and most of all, not focused.
Love Elaine - wonderful interview - but does Alec do no research on his guests before he interviews them?
The Best!!! They don't make em like her anymore!! Too short of an interview, I wanted more. Can't wait to see the doc you produced
@ arthur- i believe that's because it's a podcast,and not a radio broadcast. there's blue language up here sometimes.
Why can't I find Alec Baldwin's Here's the Thing listed on your program guide? I want to hear his interview of Elaine Stritch but don't know when it is broadcast, and don't see when it is on. Please let me know.

Abortion Access Info – PEI
If you are thinking of terminating your pregnancy, here is the information you will need.
The Canada Health Act states that everyone in Canada should have access to necessary health services, including abortion. Abortion is a safe and legal service.
The Province of Prince Edward Island will pay for abortions done at a hospital but not at a private clinic.
There are no abortion facilities on PEI. Island women usually travel to the Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, or the Morgentaler Clinic in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre
The Termination of Pregnancy Unit (902) 473-7072
- A hospital clinic.
- Covered by PEI Health insurance.
- A referral from a PEI doctor is required.
- Abortion is available up to 15 weeks, 6 days of pregnancy. It is important not to delay since there are several steps that will be required.
- Blood test and ultrasound must be done on PEI, before going over (arranged by referring doctor).
- You will need to have someone with you.
- Please note: When you call this number, you may have to leave a voicemail message and a number where someone can call you back.
There is no private clinic in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick. There are clinics in Montreal, Quebec, and in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Canada-wide services are listed here: http://www.arcc-cdac.ca/list-abortion-clinics-canada.pdf
Typically, at a private clinic:
- Fees range from $600 to $800.
- You do NOT need a doctor's referral; simply phone and make an appointment
- Abortion is available up to 16 weeks of pregnancy. (If the pregnancy is beyond 16 weeks, referral is made to another service, either in Quebec or Ontario.)
- Blood test and ultrasound will be done at the clinic.
- You will need to have someone with you.
- Appointment process takes approximately 3-4 hours, with the actual abortion procedure taking approximately 5 minutes.
PEI Doctor Referral
Some doctors in PEI may refuse to provide a referral. The Termination of Pregnancy Unit will provide the name of an Island doctor who is willing to provide a referral.
Ask questions as early as you can.
For more information, please contact peiabortionrights *at* gmail *dot* com. This notice is from the PEI Abortion Rights Network http://www.abortionrightspei.com/.

[…] There are currently no restrictions on abortion in Canada, and it is covered by provincial health care. Section 223 of our Criminal Code asserts that a fetus becomes a "human being … when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother." However, access remains limited to women in rural areas and in the entire province of Prince Edward Island, where no abortion facilities exist. […]

Aug 13, 2012London 2012 is not a pretty game. In fact, it's rather horrid in most respects: athletes are modelled competently, but move with all the poise and grace of a stop-motion Terminator. Menus and other interface elements are all rendered in that garish, angular style that has sadly come to define the London games. [September 2012, p74]
Aug 11, 2012London 2012 is a game that minimally fulfills the expectations. For fans of the competition, this is the only opportunity that provides good cover of the events that shape the competition and allows living the spirit of the Olympic without traveling to London.
Aug 1, 2012A nice mix of events with different control schemes makes London 2012 a solid accompaniment to this year's Olympic Games.
Jul 30, 2012The videogame adaptation of the London Olympic Games is quite a surprise. Leaving behind the "button mashing" gameplay of the past, SEGA's latest sports game delivers an exciting and enjoyable experience that's better suited for multiplayer sessions.
Jul 24, 2012Does a lot of things well, even if the pacing, depth, and overall immersion isn't where it needs to be. The basic control for each event is mostly intuitive and solid, there are a ton of events, using Move adds a lot to the gameplay, and skill supersedes luck (as well it should, of course). The technical elements are pretty good, too. We just require more in the way of "oomph," more reasons to keep the player coming back for more.
Jul 21, 2012An emphasis on its dull single-player campaign, rather than the more entertaining party play mode, fails to make the most of the competitive spirit of the Olympics. There's some fun to be had with friends, but even then the uneven quality of its minigames means that as soon as the Olympics are over, London 2012 will lose its allure.
Jul 16, 2012Not a bad game, but London 2012 lacks most of the stuff that would've it the perfect game for sports fans.
Jul 11, 2012London 2012 is frequently within touching distance of a podium place, but it sadly stumbles at the final hurdle. A lack of refinement in a number of the events mean that, while the title captures the atmosphere of the Olympic Games well, it crosses the finish line sandwiched somewhere in the middle of the pack.
Jul 11, 2012London 2012 - The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games is easily the best inspired Olympic Games to have ever graced the console world which features a collection of well made gaming events. As mentioned, the game does suffer from some repetition and it would have been great if the game featured an RPG aspect that allowed you to level-up and further your sports men and women.
Jul 11, 2012The fact is though, that while London 2012 is arguably the best Olympic adaption yet, it is just not enjoyable enough for long enough to warrant too much excitement. Might be a great rental for the kids though.
Jul 10, 2012Graphically the game looks very good, and the devs have created some nice loading screens inspired by the London 2012 logo. There are also commentators in the game and though voiced well enough they quickly become repetitive, sometimes looping through the same lines during an event.
Jul 9, 2012Yes, it's about as close to the real thing as you can get without working up a sweat, but that doesn't justify the lack of depth and replay value this game suffers from. And why does every athlete look the same?
Jul 9, 2012The London 2012 videogame won't be on your playlist for very long, but if you're a fan of the genre, I'd rate this game as one of the better games of its kind. It'll also help you get swept up in the excitement and euphoria of the 2012 Olympic Games, which is what these types of games are all about.
Jul 3, 2012It takes some time getting used to all the different sports, but once you've mastered them, winning becomes incredibly easy. The first time you set a new world record is thrilling, the third time in the same discipline, not so much. [July 2012, p.84]
Jul 3, 2012It's as satisfyingly competitive as you'd hope. London 2012 is the best athletics game we've seen in a while, even if the fact we can't guide the actual Team GB to glory puts a slight tarnish on its medal.
Jul 2, 2012The officially licensed Olympic video game features motion control and more than 30 Olympic events, including new disciplines making their debut for London 2012 like 10m Synchronized Diving at the Aquatics Centre or Trampoline at the North Greenwich Arena. The official Olympic arenas have been authentically recreated and with an excellent control system. London 2012 contains a massive single player Olympic Games mode and a great online multiplayer mode featuring leader boards, which will track personal medals for that player's nation medal table.
Jun 29, 2012It's a chance to get caught up in the spirit and pageantry of the occasion while enjoying some friendly competition both on and offline. In which case, London 2012 holds up its end of the bargain pretty well.
Jun 26, 2012Despite the awkward name and a few motion capturing issues Sega's Olympic Games are a wonderful surprise this summer. The multiplayer is great fun, the commentators are rock solid and the extensive discipline offer makes an enjoyable game.

The winter Olympics in Vancouver 2010 was a triumph of the genre because of two main reasons. Firstly, the main principle of the winter games is usually speeding down a slope of some description attached to skies or sitting in a sled. Both have obvious appeal. Secondly, 'Friends Best' this feature was sadly lacking in the latest summer incarnation and to the games detriment. The 'Friends Best' time is situated at the bottom right included alongside the World and Olympic Record times and acts as a passive multi-player experience by showing, surprisingly, your friend time for you to conquer. What could be better.
Having this feature removed along with the exhilaration of downhill racing and you are left with a shallow handful of mini-games that have very little commercial appeal outside of the furore of the summer games. Although nicely polished these events soon become monotonous and the repeated commentary quickly grating unfortunately the game falls at the finish line.
It's saving grace is the fact that there are a fair few hours of gameplay packaged up and this title is available on the PSN which is always a bonus.… Full Review »

Rider gets by Azle, 29-22
After Raiders QB London falls, Thrasher leads in a close game
Rider lost another quarterback on Friday night, but Domanic Thrasher still was around to save the day.
Chase London, who took over the starting job when J.T. Barrett tore his ACL three weeks ago, strained a hamstring early in the third quarter. So the Raiders went to a lot of single wing utilizing their speedy running backs.
And none had more speed than Thrasher.
After D.J. Arnold's second interception of the evening with 6:45 left in the third quarter, Thrasher took the snap and outran everybody from Azle 90 yards down the left sideline to lift the No. 6 Raiders to a 29-22 win over the Hornets at Memorial Stadium.
The Raiders won their sixth straight to improve to 6-1 overall and 4-0 in District 5-4A and are headed to a showdown against Denton Guyer next week. Azle falls to 5-2 and 2-2.
"Domanic has really stepped up his game the past few weeks. He has put the pressure on his back," Rider coach Jim Garfield said.
Thrasher carried 20 times for 166 yards.
He had to keep pace with Azle's Hunter McDonald, who ran 29 times behind his huge offensive line and gained 121 yards and a touchdown.
Neither team scored again after Thrasher's electrifying TD run.
But the Hornets came oh-so close.
They drove from their own 28 to Riders' 3 in 14 plays before quarterback Corbyn Koiner threw a play-action pass incomplete in the end zone on the final play of the game.
"We worked hard and long on that play this week," Garfield said. "It was a power pass, and we had all the gaps covered.
"Once again our kids faced adversity and stood tall."
Azle led 19-7 in the second quarter.
The Hornets' alert defense was the first to put points on the board.
Carlos Fleeks couldn't catch a backward pass from London and didn't go after the fumbler.
Johnny Crow did.
The Azle sophomore scooped up the ball and raced 42 yards for a 6-0 lead with 3:43 left in the first quarter.
The Raiders quickly got that back in about two minutes when London fired a 47-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Moisant to go up 7-6.
Rider had a TD pass from London to Brylan McCoy called back on a holding call on the second play.
Azle struck twice on a 24-yard pass from Corbyn Koiner to James Norwood and a 2-yard Hunter McDonald run to go up 19-7.
The Raiders cut it to 19-14 on a 75-yard drive in 11 plays. London carried Azle defenders on a 25-yard run early in the drive and ended it with a 5-yard run.
Arnold scored on a 1-yard run out of the single wing, capping a 16-play, 77-yard drive in the third quarter to put Rider up 22-19, but Seth Campbell's 31-yard field goal tied it with 12:51 to play.
Six minutes later, Thrasher won it for the Raiders.
Garfield said he did not know the seriousness of London's injury. Their third string quarterback is junior Johnny Diaz.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals mocked in Alec Baldwin's monologue at 'NFL Honors'
The Arizona Cardinals are doing their best to move forward from a disappointing 5-11 season.
They have a new coach, a new general manager and the No. 7 pick in April's NFL Draft. Still it seems they can't completely erase the 2012 campaign.
At the beginning of the league's annual awards show on CBS, host Alec Baldwin didn't shy away from taking a crack at Pro Bowl wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and the Redbirds.
"Larry Fitzgerald didn't show up tonight," Baldwin said. "So now he has way more in common with the rest of the Arizona Cardinals offense."
Arizona finished dead last in the league in total offense this season, averaging only 263.1 yards per game.
Here is Baldwin's monologue in it's entirety, with the Cardinals joke coming at the 7:44 mark:

Morcar (or Morkere) (Old English: Mōrcǣr) (died after 1087) was the son of Ælfgār (earl of Mercia) and brother of Ēadwine. He was himself the earl of Northumbria from 1065 to 1066, when he was replaced by William the Conqueror with Copsi.
Morcar was the son of Ælfgar, earl of the Mercians, and was probably, along with his elder brother, Edwin or Eadwine, earl of the Mercians, concerned in stirring up the Northumbrians in 1065 to revolt against their earl, Tostig, the son of Earl Godwin.[1]
Dispute with the Godwins[edit]
The rebels chose Morcar as earl at York[2] in October 1065. He at once satisfied the people of the Bernician district by making over the government of the country beyond the Tyne to Oswulf, the eldest son of Eadwulf, the Bernician earl, whom Siward had slain in 1041. Marching southwards with the rebels, Morcar gathered into his forces the men of Nottingham, Derby, and Lincoln, members of the old Danish confederacy of towns, and met his brother Edwin, Earl of Mercia, who was at the head of a force of Mercians and Welshmen, at Northampton. There the brothers and their rebel army considered proposals for peace offered to them by Earl Harold Godwinson. Negotiations continued at Oxford, where, the Northumbrians insisting on the recognition of Morcar, Harold yielded on the 28th, and Morcar's election was legalised.[1]
Events of 1066[edit]
On the death of Edward the Confessor, Morcar professedly supported Harold, but the people of his earldom were dissatisfied, and Harold visited York, the seat of Morcar's government, in the spring of 1066, and overcame their disaffection by peaceful means. In the summer, Morcar joined his brother Edwin in repulsing Tostig, who was ravaging the Mercian coast. When, however, Tostig and his ally Harald Hardrada invaded Northumbria in September, Morcar evidently was not ready to meet them ; and it was not until York was threatened that, having then been joined by Edwin, he went out against them with a large army. The two earls were defeated at Fulford Gate, near York, in a fierce battle, in which, according to a Norse authority, Morcar seems to have been prominent.[1]
York was surrendered, and Harold Godwinson had to march in haste to save the north by the battle of Stamford Bridge. Ungrateful for this deliverance, Morcar and his brother held back the forces of the north from joining Harold, in the defence of the kingdom against the Normans. After the battle of Hastings, Morcar and his brother arrived at London, sent their sister Ealdgyth, Harold's widow, to Chester, and urged the citizens to raise one or other of them to the throne.[1]
They concurred in the election of Edgar the Ætheling, but disappointed of their hope left the city with their forces and returned to the north, believing that the Conqueror would not advance so far. Before long, however, they met William of Normandy either at Berkhamstead, or more probably at Barking, after his coronation. William accepted their submission, received from them gifts and hostages, and they were reinstated. The Conqueror carried Morcar and his brother with him into Normandy in 1067, and after his return kept them at his court.[1]
Demise and death[edit]
In 1068, they withdrew from the court, reached their earldoms, and rebelled against William. They were supported by a large number both of English and Welsh; the clergy, the monks, and the poor were strongly on their side, and messages were sent to every part of the kingdom to stir up resistance. Morcar's activity may perhaps be inferred from the prominent part taken in the movement by York. It seems probable, however, that Eadgar was nominally the head of the rebellion, and that he was specially upheld by the Bernician district under Gospatric. Morcar and his brother were not inclined to risk too much ; they advanced with their men to Warwick, and there made submission to the Conqueror, were pardoned, and again kept at court, the king treating them with an appearance of favour. On their defection, the rebellion came to nothing. In 1071, some mischief was made between them and the king, and William, it is said, was about to send them to prison, but they escaped secretly from the court.[1]
After wandering about for a while, keeping to wild country, they separated, and Morcar joined the insurgents in the Isle of Ely, and remained with them until the surrender of the island. Morcar, it is said, surrendered himself on the assurance that the king would pardon him and receive him as a loyal friend. William, however, committed him to the custody of Roger de Beaumont, who kept him closely imprisoned in Normandy.[1]
When the king was on his deathbed in 1087, he ordered that Morcar should be released, in common with others whom he had kept in prison in England and Normandy, on condition that they took an oath not to disturb the peace in either land. He was not long out of prison, for William Rufus took him to England, and on arriving at Winchester put him in prison there. Nothing further is known about him, and it is therefore probable that he died in prison.[1]
Popular culture[edit]
Morcar has been portrayed by Noel Johnson in the two-part BBC TV play Conquest (1966), part of the series Theatre 625, and by Simon Rouse in the TV drama Blood Royal: William the Conqueror (1990). He is a significant character in Man With a Sword by Henry Treece, where him and Hereward the Wake are shown as becoming allies and friends in spite of some past clashes. He is mentioned in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland when the mouse attempts to dry itself and other characters by reciting a dry example of English history.

is anyone around here using it?
Is there any reason Microsoft is calling it a new OS other than to try and collect more money? Seems to me Windows 7 is what Vista should have been instead of the bloated OS attempt that it was.
I upgraded my XP to 7 yesterday. I'm still having all sorts of permissions issues. I even turned UAC off and there are there is media I have from when I ran XP that I can't play, because it says I don't have the rights to play it. The highest screen resolution it will let me run is 1024x768 on my 20" flat panel monitor. I guess my video card isn't very compatible with 7. I'm not sure if I'm going to put 7 on my other two computers.
Have you checked your video card manufactuer's web site for updates? They should have something available for Windows 7. Those permission Windows will stop over time. Also, are the files you are trying to play media you purchased trough Napster or ITunes? That may be your issue.
I've been running 7 for a while and have no problems since most of the manufatuers have added support for Windows 7. I like it. It seems to run much better than Vista.
I upgraded an old 2003 model computer from XP to Windows 7 a few days after it came out, and I must say that it was the easiest operating system installation I have ever done. I had to wipe the hard drive clean and do a clean install of Windows. There is no direct upgrade path from XP to 7. I had to upgrade the RAM in that machine to 1GB, but it's running like a charm. I'm very excited to have, what amounts to, a new machine.
I have a friend at Microsoft in Redmond and he said exactly what flyer said, that it is what Vista was supposed to be.
The biggest change I see is the Taskbar. The "Show Desktop" button has been removed in favor of a small rectangle on the far right end of the Taskbar, and instead of showing individual buttons for each, say, Excel file you have open, it shows just one Excel icon and then all your open worksheets are a pop-up list within that. It takes a bit of getting used to.
Overall, I think MS has done a good job, but time will tell, I suppose.
Bought a laptop with it 2 weeks ago, it's pretty stable, the interface is slicker, but it also tries to push file managment into a predefined area. (just ripe for user profiling) It hasn't caused me any issues yet, there are some changes here and there and the goal is to automate functions in managing software and peripherals which seems to work well, but I like to have more control over my box then the default settings give the user (very mac like) but it works great for my wife.
Currently running XP and Vista on my family machines. Both are stable. I see no reason to upgrade.
It just seems to me that Microsoft is charging the user again for an improved version of Vista (what it should have been). When Vista was releasedan incredibly high percentage of existing hardware was inadequate for running the new OS. Now with WIndows 7 the specs for running are what they should have been for Vista. I am not going to pay them more money for delivering what they should have in the first place.
Running 7 on a few machines at work. It seems less like a new OS than just Vista with less complaining about security and executable files.
I have Vista 64 bit at home and I'm curious to see whether 7 fixes the bug that causes a loss of connectivity when you put your computer to sleep. That one was present when it shipped and they never fixed it.
from GCN
If you hated Vista because of the interface, then you are going to hate Windows 7, too. Vista totally changed the look and feel of Windows from XP, but W7 only marginally changes the look and feel from Vista. In fact, 90 percent or more of the interface is exactly the same — as in, identical. Going on just the look and general behavior, W7 is little more than what Microsoft could have delivered in a free service pack to the Vista operating system.

Day 59, September 8th, 2012
Today I woke a little later than usual. I didn't have anywhere to go and had already decided it was going to be a down day for me. I cooked some oatmeal and tea and relaxed as I had breakfast. It was pretty nice out, but I could see the clouds closing in. A few other riders were going out for short (or long?) rides before the sessions started in the afternoon. I sealed up my gear and my tent and got my laptop and went into the lodge. I updated some ride reports and talked with a few other travelers.
I had a particularly good conversation with rtwpaul. He's currently headed to Ontario for the HU meeting and then will be going to Guatemala sometime in early October for four weeks of Spanish language school. Sounds pretty good! I enjoyed meeting Paul and hope to run into him again. He's been giving me a lot of grief about my packing! He pretty much epitomizes minimalist packing. He fits all his kit into his Jesse panniers and has no top box and only two Rotopax on a rack behind his seat, with no other bag on back. Conversely, I have about ten times more shit than I need!!
This photo is a DR650 that one of the attendees brought with him. It's all customized. He bought the forks from a guy online for only $150!!
It's pretty nicely set up, but that top box looks pretty big... even to me! My buddy Bart had a DR650 similar to this, but not as kitted out. He traded a guy straight across for a DRZ400 that he now uses for off road. I thought he'd like to see this one.
The sessions all started in the afternoon. One of the better ones was a panel discussion with four guys who have all been to Central & South America. Discussions revolved around border crossings, trouble spots, medical issues, emergency services, etc. All good stuff.
This is Jay. He and his wife, Mercedes, took their 13 year old son out of school in Calgary and went on a one year trip around North, Central, & South America. He was relating all kinds of funny anecdotes about their trip. Pretty exciting stuff, actually!
This sessions is all about using GPS outside the US. Peter has been to Central America and Mexico a couple of times.
It rained a few times while we were in sessions.
Sessions went on into the evening. One of the most interesting and bizarre was from an Australian guy. He and his Filipino wife went on the road with a 9 month old daughter and were out for ten years riding all over the world on a BMW R80GS with a side car. Really amazing stories about sneaking into Tibet, riding through India, being robbed in England, riding into 1980's Afghanistan, being in war torn west Africa during the late 1980s. Crazy stuff. Beyond crazy.
Sessions went right to midnight and then I pretty much went to my tent and crashed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Show That Just Keeps Getting Better,
Theo (Gondwana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Venture Bros. Season 4, Vol. 2 (DVD)
First, you should know that it is now possible to purchase The Complete Season 4 on Blu-ray. That said, now here's my review:
The Venture Bros. is that rarest of all beasts: a great show that actually improves with each subsequent season. Perhaps the thing I love most is that the characters do genuinely grow as people, as does our understanding of them. And just for once, no, that isn't merely a euphemistic way of saying that they learn the same tired old lessons about caring and sharing we have rammed down our throats in so many other shows. No. The characters in the Venture Bros. really do develop into more complex and interesting people. Horribly, deeply flawed people, but people nonetheless. People that we genuinely want to get to know better. People that, for all their faults, we may find that we have even come to like.
Parallel with this, the show's internal universe (the "Ventureverse" if I may) likewise grows into a more complex and interesting place. Fundamentally, this is a show that satirises the adventure comics and cartoons that so many of us grew up with - Johnny Quest in particular. The satire we find in the Venture Bros. is by turns cutting, affectionate, and even brutal, but always devastatingly spot on. Indeed, given that Cartoon Network actually has the rights to the Johnny Quest franchise, Johnny Quest himself, now fully grown up and profoundly traumatised by his bizarre upbringing, has regularly made guest appearances throughout this series. So it is fitting then that just like the shows it parodies, over time the Venture Bros. has developed its own extensive internal cosmology and pantheon of players. Here again, one of the things I love most about this series is that even the bit players emerge as credible, memorable people with their own agendas and stories. None are merely throwaway cardboard cutouts.
It is also interesting to compare the current generation of [adult swim] cartoons with the one that preceded it. The humor in Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021, for example, often stems from the characters being so absolutely selfish as to qualify as literally psychopathic. Similarly so for Robot Chicken. By contrast, in shows like the Venture Bros., things are less cut and dried. The characters are certainly not saints; in fact, to borrow a line I used in an earlier review I wrote for season one of Archer, "the characters are all selfish, petty, and utterly and completely venal: the three great ingredients from which comedy is made". This is not quite so true of the Venture Bros. as it is of Archer, but it is true enough nonetheless. But at the same time, we are no longer dealing primarily with characters entirely devoid of compassion or humanity. They may, to varying degrees, actively dislike and even resist their own tendency towards basic human empathy, but they are no longer simply psychopaths. The brutal abstract craziness of the older generation of shows is not entirely lost. Rather, we might say that much like the eponymous Venture brothers themselves, it has emerged from childhood and at least begun the process of integrating itself into a more complex and more fully grown up world.
Finally, no review of the Venture Bros. could be considered complete without mentioning this show's gloriously retro sense of style. Once again the show has much in common with Archer in that it's impossible not to notice the jet-age aesthetic. But whereas in Archer this comes across simply of a pop-art homage to the shows that inspired it, and which it in turn parodies, in the Venture Bros. the chosen aesthetic is far more of a two-edged sword. On the one hand, the show's creators clearly have a genuine affection for the style they affect, even as they mock its absurdities (try searching for images of Doc Hammer on the web sometime and check out his wardrobe). At the same time, in the Venture Bros., unlike Archer, we are very much aware that we are in a world that has moved on since this form of modernism was indeed modern. Concord-like aircraft and cheesy 1970s-style wood panelling become emblematic of a generation of inheritors; or dare I say, of two such generations. Of characters who have not built upon what they were given, but rather, have presided over its decline.
And so we end where we began: with the characters. Deeply flawed, deeply human. But if we ourselves are to take away any lesson at all from this series, it should perhaps be simply this: Tragically flawed as we all might be, it may yet be possible for us too to go forth into this no less flawed and no less tragic world of ours and have some ripping adventures of our own.
Go team Venture!
5.0 out of 5 stars Venture bros is a great show!,
John Antoine "Jantoine" (Winnipeg, Manitoba, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Venture Bros. Season 4, Vol. 2 (DVD)
Funny, awesome characters, and reaslly easy to get into. I've recommended this show to all of my friends who are willing to watch it with me! (They've all liked it too!).
4.0 out of 5 stars Complete 4th Season,
First let me say that this is the Complete 4th Season of "The Venture Bros." despite what amazon.ca says, if you search the ASIN on any other Amazon website it shows the complete 4th season as well.
And now for the show: I love the Venture Bros. and its brand of humor and that's what you get with this season. The disc felt a little short on special features and that's why I'm only giving this 4/5, But it did come with an expired coupon for a website that no longer exists so i guess that's a plus?
5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars,
Willbur_ (Kingston, Ontario) - See all my reviews
Best show on TV if you actually get it on TV. Loved this Season..
5.0 out of 5 stars This show is great, and it's even better on blue-ray!,
I can't say much more than what is in the title. If you have seen this show, you know what it is aboot, and if you haven't you should start off at season one and work from there. The Blue-Ray is great because of the higher definition, and it does make a big difference in quality over my seasons 1-3 DVDs. Being uncencored adds a little zip over the aired on tv versions. Great buy.
5.0 out of 5 stars HAHA Venturetastic,
This review is from: Venture Bros. Season 4, Vol. 2 (DVD)
This is my favorite show of the last 5 years bar none!
It is funny, stupid, rude and all that good stuff!
Thanks Doc and team keep up the fantastic work!
Love the prom episode a new level of classic!
5.0 out of 5 stars In love with the Venture Bros.,
If it were legal I would totally marry the Venture Bros. I laugh so much that milk squirts out of my nose. Strange because I don't even drink milk. This blu-ray was probably the best single purchase I have ever made in my life. I would even say it is more satisfying than my Real Doll. I mean that exactly how it sounds. The creators of this show are super - geniuses. They must have been bitten by a radioactive superman or something. Ever since purchasing season 4 of the Venture Bros, all I do is watch and rewatch the show. I don't go out anymore, I've gotten quite pale and thin. I don't think I even have a job anymore, but the sacrifice is all worth it. Go Team Venture!

Free wifi, pizza best in the morning, la torta noccioli? was to die for. Staff quiet, local and friendly after five days! This guy also plays drums sometimes next door. This pizzeria is the gossip hub of town. What's not to like?
We purchased focaccia here to take on walks and for simple evening meal in our room. Really fresh, quality ingredients
very good, slightly thick crust pizza. 4 kids, 2 pizzas, nothing left. I would call that an endorsement.
Really cheap but unpretentious! I thought the pizza was more good than New York. Tourist trap.
Nothing much beats freshly made pizza for cheap. Crust was crisp and toppings were generous.
The takeaway pizza and foccacia especially the pesto flavour is amazing and fantastic value. Grab a beer and take it all down to the harbour and watch the sun set.

The hostel was a great location, it was beside the bus station, it was quite clean and the staff were quite friendly. However, I did not like the idea of having to return to the hostel before 12pm and also been told to go to bed at 12pm. Good hostel but very strict curfew!

BETHEL TOWNSHIP — The Bethel Board of Education is gearing up for the upcoming school years with some new faces and new goals.
One of those new faces is superintendent Virginia Potter. Potter introduced herself to the board and shared her goals for the upcoming school year, one of which is bringing technology into the strategy for enhancing the educational experience of students.
"I don't think computers can ever replace teachers," Potter said. "But we do live in a world where most if not all of the parents and students utilize the internet."
Potter's focus is on introducing more communications from the superintendent's office through technology, including her newsletter, The Super Buzz.
"I thought it was clever," Potter said, followed by a laugh. "We're the Bethel Bees, so we buzz, and it comes from the superintendent's office. Get it? Super Buzz."
Elementary school principal Jodi Petty shared her updates with the board. According to Petty, the elementary school now has a record 577 students enrolled for the 2014-2015 school year, which is 40 more students from last year. She shared that reading and math scores for third, fourth and fifth grade have come back and that the district as a whole is ranked in either first or second place in the county.
Craig Vasil, who is coming in as the new principal at the junior and senior high schools, shared future changes to junior and senior high school procedures.
"The sophomores this year will be the last class to take the OGT [Ohio Graduation Tests], since the state has decided to do away with the OGT and replace it with other testing procedures, starting in the 2015-16 school year," Vasil said.
He also shared that the modulars, which had been in the back of the campus, have now been moved to the front of the school and that the teachers who conduct classes in them have already been inside and getting adjusted to the change. Additionally, Vasil clarified that schedules were ready to be picked up on Aug. 13, can be changed on Aug. 15, and that the open house will be Aug. 19 at 6 p.m.
In other business, the board voted to approve several appropriations to teachers in the district for the junior high music program, technology-based instruction and common core sciences and social studies instruction. Vasil was approved for a two-year contract with the school, as was Alexis Dedrick who is the incoming dean of students and Melissa Rhoades for her position as a district bus driver. 14 substitute teachers were approved for the 2014-2015 school year.
The board approved two high school band trips. The first trip, which will take place on Oct. 4 and end on Oct. 5, is to Sandusky, while the second trip, which begins on April 1 and ends on April 7, is to Virginia Beach, Va. Both trips are no expense to the board.
The district's July 2014 earned income tax collection generated $421,937, which is $78,801 greater than the collection in July 2013.

Worms (German pronunciation: [ˈvɔɐ̯ms]) is a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, on the Rhine River. At the end of 2004, it had 85,829 inhabitants.
Established by the Celts, who called it Borbetomagus, Worms today remains embattled with the cities Trier and Cologne over the title of "Oldest City in Germany." Worms is the only German member of the Most Ancient European Towns Network.[2][3]
Today the city is an industrial centre and is famed for the original "Liebfrauenstift-Kirchenstück" epotoponym for the Liebfraumilch wine. Other industries include chemicals and metal goods.
Worms is one of the major sites where the events of the ancient German Nibelungenlied took place. A multimedia Nibelungenmuseum was opened in 2001, and a yearly festival right in front of the Dom, the Cathedral of Worms, attempts to recapture the atmosphere of the pre-Christian period.
Worms' name is of Celtic origin: Borbetomagus meant "settlement in a watery area". This was eventually transformed into the Latin name Vormatia that had been in use since the 6th century, which was preserved in the Medieval Hebrew form Vermayza (ורמיזא). Many fanciful variant names for Worms exist only upon the title pages of books printed when Worms was an early centre of printing: for instance William Tyndale's English translation of the New Testament was printed at Worms in 1526.
Worms is located on the west bank of the Rhine River in between the cities of Ludwigshafen and Mainz. On the northern edge of town the Pfrimm flows into the Rhine, and on the southern edge of the city the Eisbach, or "Ice Stream" in English, flows into the Rhine.
Worms has 13 boroughs (or "Quarters") that surround the city center. They are as follows:
|Distance from Worms city center
|Northwest of City Center (10 km)
|Southwest of City Center (9 km)
|North of City Center (5 km)
|Northwest of City Center
|Southwest of City Center (4.5 km)

The climate in the Rhine River Valley is very temperate in the winter time and quite enjoyable in the summertime. Rainfall is below average for the surrounding areas. Snow accumulation in the winter is very low and often melts within a short period of time.

The city has existed since before Roman times, when it was captured and fortified by the Romans under Drusus in 14 BCE. From that time, a small troop of infantry and cavalry were garrisoned in Augusta Vangionum; this gave the settlement its Romanized but originally Celtic name Borbetomagus. The garrison developed into a small town with the regularized Roman street plan, a forum, and temples for the main gods Jupiter, Juno, Minerva (upon whose temple, as is usual, was built the cathedral) and Mars.
Roman inscriptions and altars and votive offerings can be seen in the archaeological museum, along with one of Europe's largest collections of Roman glass. Local potters worked in the south quarter of the town. Fragments of amphoras show that the olive oil they contained had come from Hispania Baetica, doubtless by sea and then up the Rhine. At Borbetomagus, Gunther king of the Burgundians, set himself up as puppet-emperor, the unfortunate Jovinus, during the disorders of 411–13. The city became the chief city of the first kingdom of the Burgundians, who left few remains; however, a belt clasp from Worms-Abenheim is a museum treasure. They were overwhelmed in 437 by Hun mercenaries called in by the Roman general Aëtius to put an end to Burgundian raids, in an epic disaster that provided the source for the Nibelungenlied.
Worms was a Roman Catholic bishopric since at least 614 with an earlier mention in 346. In the Frankish Empire, the city was the location of an important palatinate of Charlemagne (Karl der Grosse), who built one of his many administrative palaces here. The bishops administered the city and its territory. The most famous of the early medieval bishops was Burchard of Worms.
Worms Cathedral (Wormser Dom), dedicated to St Peter, is one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Germany. Alongside the nearby Romanesque cathedrals of Speyer and Mainz, it is one of the so-called Kaiserdome (Imperial Cathedrals). Some parts in early Romanesque style from the 10th century still exist, while most parts are from the 11th and 12th century, with some later additions in Gothic style (see the external links below for pictures).
Four other Romanesque churches as well as the Romanesque old city fortification still exist, making the city Germany's second in Romanesque architecture only to Cologne.
Worms prospered in the High Middle Ages. Having received far-reaching privileges from King Henry IV (later Emperor Henry III) as early as 1074, the city later became a Reichsstadt, being independent of a local territory and responsible only to the Emperor himself. As a result, Worms was the site of several important events in the history of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1122 the Concordat of Worms was signed; in 1495, a Reichstag concluded here made an attempt at reforming the disintegrating Imperial Circle Estates of the Reichsreform (Imperial Reform). Most important, among more than a hundred Imperial Diets held at Worms, the Reichstag of 1521 (commonly known as the Diet of Worms) ended with the Edict of Worms at which Martin Luther was declared an outlaw after refusing to recant his religious beliefs. The first complete edition of the New Testament in English, translated from the original Greek (as opposed to the Latin Vulgate) by William Tyndale, was secretly printed in Worms in 1526.
In 1689 during the Nine Years' War, Worms (like the nearby towns and cities of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Oppenheim, Speyer and Bingen) was sacked by troops of King Louis XIV of France, though the French only held the city for a few weeks. In 1743 the Treaty of Worms was signed, ending the Second Silesian war between Prussia and Austria. In 1792 the city was occupied by troops of the French First Republic during the French Revolutionary Wars. The Bishopric of Worms was secularized in 1801, with the city being annexed into the First French Empire. In 1815 Worms passed to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in accordance with the Congress of Vienna and subsequently administered within Rhenish Hesse.
After the Battle of the Bulge, Allied Armies advanced into the Rhineland in preparation for a planned massive assault across the Rhine into the heart of the Reich. Worms was a German strong point in the southern Rhineland on the West bank of the Rhine and the German forces there resisted the Allied advance tenaciously. Worms was thus heavily bombed by the Royal Air Force during the last few months of World War II — in two attacks, on Feb. 21 and March 18, 1945. A post-war survey estimated that 39 per cent of the town's developed area was destroyed. The RAF attack on Feb. 21 was aimed at the main train station, on the edge of the inner city, and at chemical plants southwest of the inner city. The attack, however, also destroyed large areas of the city center. The attack was carried out by 334 bombers that in a few minutes rained 1,100 tons of bombs on the inner city. The Worms Cathedral was among the buildings set afire in the resulting conflagration. The Americans did not enter the city until the Rhine crossings began after the seizure of the Remagen Bridge.
In the attacks, 239 inhabitants were killed and 35,000 (60 percent of the population of 58,000) were rendered homeless. A total of 6,490 buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. After the war, the inner city was rebuilt, mostly in modern style. Postwar, Worms became part of the new state of Rhineland-Palatinate; the borough Rosengarten, on the east bank of the Rhine, was lost to Hesse.
The city, known in Medieval Hebrew under the name Vermayza or Vermaysa (ורמיזא, ורמישא), is known as a former center for Judaism. The Jewish community was established in the late 10th century, and the first synagogue was erected in 1034. In 1096, 800 Jews were murdered by crusaders and the local mob. The Jewish Cemetery in Worms, dating from the 11th century, is believed to be the oldest in Europe. The Rashi Synagogue, which dates from 1175 and was carefully reconstructed after its desecration on Kristallnacht, is the oldest in Germany. Prominent rabbis of Worms include Shlomo Yitzhaki (Rashi), Elazar Rokeach and Yair Bacharach. At the Rabbinical Synod held at Worms at the turn of the 11th century, rabbi Gershom ben Judah (Rabbeinu Gershom) explicitly prohibited polygamy for the first time.
For hundreds of years, uninterrupted, the Jewish Quarter was the centre of Jewish life until Kristallnacht in 1938, when much of the Jewish Quarter was destroyed. Worms today has only a very small Jewish population and a recognizable Jewish community as such no longer exists. However, after renovations in the 1970s and 1980s, many of the buildings of the Quarter can be seen in a close-to-original state, preserved as an outdoor museum.
In 2010 the synagogue was fire bombed. Eight corners of the building were set ablaze, and a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a window. There were no injuries. However Kurt Beck, Minister-President of Rhineland-Palatinate, condemned the attack and vowed to mobilize all necessary resources to find the perpetrators saying, "We will not tolerate such an attack on a synagogue".[4]

Arapahoe Basin ski resort chief operating officer Al Henceroth took to his blog to let people know that marijuana use will not be tolerated. Henceroth says he has already kicked several people out and took their ski passes.
Already I have kicked several people out of here and taken their ski passes for smoking in public. Those passes will be gone for a very long time. We will not hesitate to call the cops on this issue.
He says that those passes will be gone for a long time. It sounds like he took the ski/boarders season passes. Those passes range from $150 to $300. That's a big price to pay for toking up on the
hill mountain. If you're caught there on just a day lift ticket, you'll be out of $60, and $90 during holidays.
Henceroth stated, "Marijuana smokers, please use your heads on this. You cannot smoke marijuana in public while at A-Basin." Under Colorado's Amendment 64, you cannot consume marijuana in public. Summit Daily reports that 22 of Colorado's 25 ski resorts are also on federal land as well.
Henceroth says to not smoke in public or you will be kicked out. It's not hard to sneak off into trails in the woods or the parking lot to toke up. Believe me, I've done it plenty of times at resorts that are 10 times smaller. I've never been caught toking at a ski resort and have done it many times. Just be smart and not lighting up before you get on the chairlift. Be safe out there Miley Highrus.
