32 x 64 bit. Think about this....

I've spent a week looking at computers with W7
Most systems for home use have 64 bit W7 installed and, as you have no doubt seen from a trawl through this forum, this can cause difficulty with drivers and software
However, looking at business computers and workstations, it seems that many still use 32 bit
Am I wrong in thinking that 32 bit is still the way to go if you want business type efficiency with worry free operation?
I've eventually ordered a 32 bit business system on the basis that 64 bit is still, perhaps, a step too far

Most 32 bit programmes work perfectly well on a 64 bit machine. I now have W 7 64 bit and a few programmes are running in 64 bit (Photoshop CS5 , but the 32 bit version also installs as scanner TWAIN software only runs in 32 bit), also iTunes. Most programme files are in Programme files(x86) folder, where 32 bit programmes are stored.
I chose 64 bit to fully use my 4 Gig RAM.

A good 10 months have gone by since I last posted on this subject so the following might be useful as an update
This month I needed to replace a suspect hard drive and had reason to use a 64 bit installation of Windows 7 on the new hard drive
The install went without a hitch and whatever drivers were required for the hardware in the computer and without installed automatically without me doing anything at all
I haven't any other software that is 64 bit (so far as I know) but I'm sure that from the RAM point of view with high def movie editing and so on it may now be time to go 64bit
Old scanners and so on may be a problem but most manufacturers now seem to be coming across with products that install faultlessly. They can't really afford to do otherwise I suppose

I am running Win 7 64 bit since it first came out, as an upgrade from Vista 64 bit.
I have had no trouble at all in finding drivers and the machine is fast and stable with 8GB of RAM installed.
As to whether to go 32 or 64, my answer is the latter, purely because within the next few years there won't be any 32 bit OS available. Think of it as a way of future proofing.
But anyway, you pays your money and takes your pick.

Very soon we will be shifting over to Win 7 from XP Pro and we have been advised to stick to 32bit.

I have followed this thread with interest. Ten months later, I'm wondering if anything has changed. I have just bought Windows 7 to replace the 32 bit Vista on my Dell Dimension and have to decide whether to opt for 32 or 64 bit. I do have 4gbs of ram of which only 3.25gbs are utilised. As far as I can tell, this may be the only advantage and my five year old Epson scanner may not work in 64 bit mode. Has software requiring 64bits made much progress since this thread closed?

64 bit has been out for years with XP and more recently Vista , but although Microsoft has been working hard to make it as easy robust and efficient as they can ,its all for nothing until 3rd party software makers write software that not only supports it but is designed specifically for it .yes a lot of 32bit programs are (compatible) wit 64bit but to get the best from such a system it should be all 64bit OS and 3rd party software .then and only then will it truly be 64bit .
Microsoft have hinted on several occasions that the next version of windows (lets call it windows 8) May well be 64 bit only ,I dont know if this has had the desired effect or not but recently there has been a huge amount of activity in the 64bit market ,more software makers are coming forward with 64bit creations and the dealers seem to be jumping on this wagon too ,as the vast majority of new PCs sold appear to be 64bit as standared ,
we are still some way off ,but I reckon that withing 1-2 years ,32bit will be all but gone .
I have several OSs on the same machine in both 32 and 64bit . so I can use my favorite old softwares ,and get to know 64bit at the same time . its coming .....and its picking up speed ,so be prepared .

"I'm just still puzzled as to why consumer machines are all 64 bit even allowing for F.E's explanation."
I think the reason for this is that most consumer machines come pre-installed with 4Gb RAM, & they are fed-up with having to explain to numerous customers why their 32-bit systems don't recognise the entire 4Gb ;-). I wouldn't be surprised if some see this as a good-enough reason for returning their PC for a refund!
As has already been mentioned, the majority of users will be better off with a 32-bit OS. A 64-bit OS is really mostly for those users who need it for a specific/critical computing reason, including the enthusiasts & tinkerers amongst us. G

I started this thread at the end of October when I was needing to buy a new laptop for my daughter at college as well as considering buying (building?) a new desktop for myself
In the two months that have followed, it may help others to have my view on what I have bought
First, Windows 7 is the easiest and most robust operating system I've come across. And I've been through 3.1 , Me, XP (but not Vista!!)
Windows 7 floats my boat, and no one has got me to say that!
Secondly, while I know 64 bit will be the code of the future, I just cannot see why I need to go there just yet. When I buy 32 bit systems and stuff, it just works. From what others say 64 bit is still an experimental zone, demanding all sorts of "authorisations" etc
I've bought a Dell business vostro W7 32 bit and an Acer laptop W7 in the last 2 months. Both are 32 bit, both work, out of the box without a hitch. I'm highly delighted with both and neither are "Mr Slow"
I'm just still puzzled as to why consumer machines are all 64 bit even allowing for F.E's explanation

as a matter of fact
32bit Operating System cannot exceed system memory(RAM)beyond 4 GB
hence all the triple channel mode supported by the Core i7's will not be fully utilised (unless ofcourse u r using a 1GB x 3 config)

nope ,but more can be done via multitasking etc, hard drives are the weak point and have been for some time ,have run dual hyperdrive (ramdrives) raided (0)that makes a huge difference everything happens just about instantly even working huge files in photoshop is so fast its scary ,but at a huge cost as RAM is going up in price again .
look up hyperdrive 5 if your interested ,but it works out darn expensive . even the best (fastest) hard drives around wont keep up with a couple of hyperdrives raided.
SSDs are getting more reliable and maybe in the next year or two will become cheap enough to most users .but whatever the storage methods used ,any speed problems wont be with RAM or processor ability .
more RAM will only be beneficial if you work a lot with large files and RAM hungry programs DVD editing etc , graphic hungry games.
for most everyday tasks ,4gb is more than enough ,and that should cope with several tasks at the same time with out problems .
I do a fair bit of PC biulding and allways have lots of RAM lying about ,I can allways use it up in biulding PCs ,I would never normally use anything over 8 gb ,its overkill .
the 16gb ddr3 system I spoke of was just experamental and has 8 OSs installed , as a test bed for various softwares .

Town of Mills River Press Release
February 18, 2014
Crime doesn't pay, but taking the step forward to share information with investigators about one that has been committed just might in Mills River.
The Town of Mills River Council is joining two Town businesses to increase the reward being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the person or persons who fired multiple rounds into one of the Mills River Fire and Rescue substations. Nancy Lynn's Diner and Pizzeria and Mills River Quick Lube have both committed to contribute to the reward amount in hopes that the case will soon be solved.
On Sunday, February 9, someone fired a total of 13 rounds into the substation causing approximately $20,000 worth of damage to the building and equipment. Some of the bullets made their way into the Mills River Fire and Rescue living quarters where firemen regularly spend time between calls. Fortunately, the fire station was unmanned at the time of the shooting.
"Mills River Fire and Rescue is at the heart of our Mills River community. They provide a service to the Town and those in that fire district that is necessary to our public safety and quality of life. We take the safety of the volunteers and staff there very seriously and firmly believe that those responsible for firing into the substation should be charged and justice served," Town of Mills River Mayor Larry Freeman said.
The contributions towards the reward from the Town, Nancy Lynn's Diner and Pizzeria and Mills River Quick Lube bring the reward offered for information leading to arrest and conviction of a suspect to a total of $1,500.
"Having two locally owned businesses participate in the reward is a great example of how cohesive the Mills River community is and how they rally to protect their own. The Town encourages anyone who may have information regarding this crime to contact Henderson County Sheriff's Department as the investigation continues," Mills River Town Manager Jaime Laughter said.
Hendersonville Lightning reported Monday that a 31 year old woman had stolen an EMS ambulance at Pardee Hospital, then led poliuce on a chase around town before she was stopped and arrested.
Identified at Stephanie Mae Erwin of Howard Gap Loop, the woman had been released from Pardee Hospital's emergency room when she jumped in the county EMS vehicle and drove away about 1:14 this morning, police said. Police and sheriff's deputies used stop sticks to stop the stolen ambulance on U.S. 25 at Rugby Road. Charged with multiple counts including drunken driving was Stephanie Mae Erwin, 31, of Howard Gap Loop, said Hendersonville Police Capt. Bruce Simonds. She was jailed under a $26,000 bond in Henderson County's Detention Center. Erwin "came into the hospital belligerent," he said. When she was released an hour after midnight she climbed into an ambulance parked outside and drove off. "We don't know where she went when she left," he said. Police spotted her coming back toward town on Four Seasons Boulevard and started pursuit. They chased her on Signal Hill Road, Duncan Hill Road, Berkeley Road and U.S. 25 before they laid down the spikes that stopped the ambulance at North Rugby Road. Damage to the ambulance included blown out tires and a window police shattered to reach Erwin, who locked herself in when the ambulance became disabled.
"Speeds ranged from 45 to 70 mph," Simonds said. "She only passed three vehicles. Her driving was actually pretty good." No one was injured in the incident, Simonds said. Arresting officers took Erwin to jail after they extracted her from the vehicle. Erwin was charged with driving while impaired, theft of the motor vehicle, misdemeanor larceny, damage to property and fleeing police to elude arrest, Simonds said.
Erwin had been taken to the ER on an overdose call, Simonds said.
"When she was released or walked out the ambulance was there idling and unlocked," he said. "She put on an EMS jacket and drove off."

As filing officially got underway for this year's local elections this week, four are currenly in the running for election as Henderson County top law enforcement officer.
Three of four candidates for Henderson County sheriff filed their candidacy notices Monday and paid $975 apiece in filing fees.
Sheriff Charlie McDonald and current N.C. Trooper Michael Brown filed as Republicans. They'll join Fletcher Police Chief Erik Summey, who also intends to run in May's Republican primary for sheriff. Also filing Monday for sheriff was Democrat Marty Katz.
Robert Sieber, a former Henderson County deputy now working as a detective in Polk County, withdrew from the sheriff's race Friday.
McDonald said when he was appointed by the Republican Party in 2012, he inherited "turmoil and chaos" resulting from a "failure of leadership and accountability in the past."
He said he's proud of the progress made in two years, emphasizing his office's leadership training, improved accountability and efficient use of manpower. The sheriff said property crimes and breaking and enterings have dropped "easily 18 percent" in the last year, exceeding a 12 percent promise.
Brown said he'd reallocate personnel to put more deputies on patrol, make property and drug crimes a higher priority, and return school resource officers to the county's middle schools. He also pledged to "shelter employees from demotion or termination without due process."
It sounds good to talk about putting more deputies on the street and in schools, McDonald said, but "to put that number of officers in schools that some folks would like to have would be about a million-and-a-quarter dollars right off the bat."
Under his Adopt-A-School program, on-duty officers are assigned to schools and expected to "drop in, walk the halls, talk to teachers," McDonald said. While school safety is a major concern, he added, "there are a lot of people who have other concerns as well" and limited resources must be allocated wisely.
If elected, Brown said he'd "look at filling critical positions before we do promotions into administrative positions." He said McDonald has several officers in a professional standards unit "that offers no direct benefit to the public, such as a patrol officer (would), when they're short-handed."
McDonald said the unit helps track and train officers so they're "better rounded" and "better suited" to transfer laterally or promote. When he took his post, he said "we were very short on a lot of standards and regulations," which the unit has remedied.
"The problem is, if you have issues in any department or organization, if you don't fix the things that are wrong, it doesn't matter how many resources you throw at the problem," he said. "If you don't take care of the engine, the rest of the car doesn't matter."
Katz has 34 years of experience in law enforcement ranging from a small town in New Jersey to the county's largest, fully accredited sheriff's office in Florida.
He looks forward to discussing with citizens how the sheriff's office can become more efficient and effective. The self-described "lifelong Democrat" has served as a patrolman, detective, SWAT team member, undercover narcotics officer and division supervisor, as well as in other roles
Plans for the newest state forest in the mountains took a step closer to becoming reality with a federal grant to purchase some prime riverfront property.
The future Headwaters State Forest, which will eventually encompass 8,000 acres in Transylvania County, is now more securely preserved with a $3 million grant from the U.S. Forest Service's Forest Legacy Program, funded through the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
The grant, announced Tuesday by the N.C. Department of Agriculture, The Conservation Fund and the U.S. Forest Service, secured 711 more acres from former U.S. Congressman Charles Taylor, whose family has owned the land since the 1980s.
This is the first time Forest Legacy funds have ever been used to purchase land in North Carolina for conservation, said Michael Cheek, assistant regional forester with the N.C. Forest Service. Along with $5.4 million in private and state funding for previous acquisitions, the purchase brings the total land preserved in the future state forest to 3,200 acres.
"This land is right on the East Fork River, on East Fork Road. It borders the East Fork, which is a trout stream, for about a mile or two," Cheek said. "The whole purpose of the project is to protect the headwaters of East Fork French Broad River."
Headwaters State Forest will become North Carolina's 10th state forest and its third largest. Situated in prime outdoor recreation real estate in the East Fork watershed of the French Broad River on the South Carolina border, it is adjacent to more than 100,000 acres of existing conservation lands in both states.
Four times the size of Mount Mitchell State Park, Headwaters spans more than nine miles of forested land with waterfalls and five miles trout streams, and provides habitat for federally endangered plant species.
The project was created in 2010 through a $33 million deal with the Taylor family, which has agreed to sell up to 8,000 acres to the state.
The Community Foundation of Henderson County is pleased to announce the availability of The Pisgah Chapter of Trout Unlimited William L. Arbuckle Memorial Scholarship for the 2014-2015 Academic Year.
A $1,000 award, the scholarship is offered for any student accepted to an accredited degree granting college or university within the Southern Appalachian Region. Recipients must be pursuing undergraduate and/or graduate degrees in the field of fisheries and wildlife management, aquaculture, freshwater biology, or other related fields. Preference will be given to those who have expressed a desire to pursue work which relates to fresh water fisheries and/or native trout populations. This scholarship is open to students pursuing community college, college or university degrees in the fields listed above.
Individuals, families and organizations have established funds at the Community Foundation of Henderson County to carry out their charitable giving, now and in the future. To learn more, visit www.CFHCforever.org.
The administrative offices for the Parks and Recreation Department have relocated to the Henderson County Athletic and Activity Center located at 708 South Grove Street, Hendersonville (the former Hendersonville Christian School property).
These offices were formerly housed in Jackson Park. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Parks and Recreation main number will remain the same, (828) 697-4884.
All program registrations and general recreation inquiries will now take place at these offices.
Quarterback Wilson also played three years at NC STATE before being told by his Coach Tom O'Brien that he could not play football and baseball at the university. Wilson them offered himself to the baseball draft and was picked up by the Colorado Rockies who then sent him to the Asheville Tourists. After playing 69 games for the Tourists in 2011, he decided to leave the team after being recruited by Wisconsin, where he finished his college career.
He was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, and the rest in now history.
Wilson, it was good having you in our part of the world for a part of a season with the Tourists. And, oh yes, CONGRATULATIONS on the BIGGEST WIN OF YOUR SPORTS CAREER !

Disc Jockey (DJ): Job Description, Duties and Requirements
Disc jockeys (DJs) require some formal education. Learn about the training, job duties and requirements to see if DJing at a radio station is the right career for you.
Essential Information
Disc jockeys, also known as DJs, broadcast music over radio stations. They must ensure that commercials, interviews and commentary are delivered on time, per a schedule set by management. This career typically requires a strong personality and a clear voice. Aspiring DJs usually complete an associate's or bachelor's degree program in a field like radio broadcasting or journalism. Work experience is also important in this career field, and degree programs typically include internships to help students get experience at radio stations.
|Required Education
|Associate's or bachelor's degree
|Other Requirements
|Radio experience
|Job Growth (2012-2022)*
|No change for radio and TV announcers
|Median Salary (2013)*
|$29,020 for radio and TV announcers
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Disc Jockey Job Description
Disc jockeys often work for radio stations in soundproof studios. They might specialize in a certain type of music, such as classic rock, pop or contemporary R&B. Experienced disc jockeys sometimes get to choose which time slot they want to work, but most of those just starting out in the field have to take night or early morning shifts.
Others working in the disc jockey profession are self-employed and use their own equipment to provide entertainment at nightclubs or restaurants. They also might supply music and sound system services at special events, such as weddings and corporate banquets.
Job Duties of a Disc Jockey
With the use of technology today, most radio broadcasts are timed and automated. Thus, a disc jockey mainly ensures that his or her program is running smoothly, while occasionally speaking live to the audience. This might include holding radio contests, taking song requests, questioning callers and performing interviews.
Disc jockeys sometimes appear at live events, such as concerts or radio station-sponsored parties. They also tend to take part in a variety of other promotional events, which can be held in locations as varied as shopping malls, parks or parking lots. Additionally, disc jockeys may be required to make updates to their radio stations' websites.
DJ Job Requirements
An associate's or bachelor's degree program in radio broadcasting can familiarize aspiring disc jockeys with software and equipment used in this field, and classes in business and marketing can teach them to target certain demographics and draw in new listeners. Additionally, many employers look for job candidates with substantial experience. Prospective DJs can gain entry-level experience through jobs at college, university or small-market radio stations or internships at larger stations.
Beyond training and experience requirements, a disc jockey must have excellent communication skills and be able to maintain a pleasant and controlled voice with good pronunciation and word timing. A DJ also needs to stay current on news and entertainment events.
DJ Career Outlook
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that radio and TV announcing positions (which included disk jockeys) weren't expected to see any growth from 2012-2022. Job candidates with a degree in journalism, communications or broadcasting should have the best opportunities. Radio and television announcers made a median salary of $29,020 per year in May 2013.

Google to help out with suicide prevention
Need help with suicide prevention? Google it
Nowadays, people use the internet for everything, especially when they want to find out information. With this in mind, giant Google is doing its part when a user enters in a search relating to suicide.
Obviously suicide is a tragic happening, but it can be prevented. For example, you have a friend that has been having some suicidal signals and you want to help out but don't know where to look. If you use Google as a research source and your search contains something such as "suicidal thoughts" or "suicide prevention", before any results appear, the telephone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is shown. Not all suicide related queries will display the telephone number at this time though. According to Dr. Roni Zeiger, chief health strategist for Google, "[They] are starting relatively conservatively."
This is the second time Google displays a lifeline telephone number based on a search. The first was the number to the American Association of Poison Control Centers after a suggestion that came from a mother whose daughter swallowed some poison and had troubles finding the telephone number for Poison Control. Google decided to expand on this idea, and now offers the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Good job Google.
If you or someone you know need to talk about suicide, visit the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline website.
A Guinness World Record for Batman: Arkham Asylum
"The Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever"
Well isn't this pretty cool? There has been a lot of news about the new Batman: Arkham Asylum game, but who would have thought that it would earn a Guinness world record?
The people at the Guinness World Records gave the game the title "Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever". On a global scale, the game received a 91.67 out of 100. Hell, Metacritic came out with a 91 out of 100. Hoping there isn't a massive influx of bad reviews, this should stick well.
Congrats to the Rocksteady development team on Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Music device powered by temperature change
Make it really hot, then really cold, and you have music
One of the latest pieces of technological advancement is the Greenergy music player, a device designed by Dmitriy Shcherbakov, which uses constantly changing temperature as an energy source.
This isn't a totally next energy concept, as the Atoms Clock uses the same technology, and was invented in 1928. Granted, Generty is going to need to use more energy than the clock; the device contains its own "heating module", and "personal light."
It isn't quite clear how much energy is going to be needed to power the weird looking device. It's still sketchy, but the music player could help push the world to become more "green."

Google Docs gets translation support
42 different languages under wing
Internet giant Google continues to support multiple languages, with Google Docs its latest foray; the corporation's translation system currently supports up to 42 different languages.
The feature automatically figures out what language is curently being used, and when you choose to translate the document through the settings menu, the translated copy is opened in a new window. If you like how it looks, you can choose to replace the document, or save a new copy.
As time goes on, expect more of Google's features to support the translation feature.
Race-swap on Microsoft's website stirs some controversy
Photoshopped so bad, looks like it was done in Paint
If you have been paying attention to Twitter, a few other social sites, or even a thread in our own forums, you will notice that Microsoft has provoked some controversy.
On the United States version of the Microsoft Business website, there is a friendly picture of a white lady, an African-American man, and an Asian man. Very diverse, very politically correct. But on the Polish version of the site (picture before fix shown below), the African-American man's head was replaced with a head of a white man. Not only is that bad enough, but it was Photoshopped horribly, and the hand wasn't even replaced.
Microsoft quickly stepped in, and replaced the race-swap picture. A Microsoft representative said, "We are looking into the details of this situation. We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the image."
Here is a screenshot of the US site, followed by one of the Polish site:
Really, whoever did that needs to take a class on Photoshop.
Throw out Windows for open source, says Free Software Foundation
Perhaps Linux or BSD?
What are you in favor of? Windows, or something free such as Linux? This Wednesday the Free Software Foundation (FSF) will be holding a demonstration in Boston, where they will try to convince businesses to throw out their copies of Windows, in exchange of free software.
The Free Software Foundation believes that businesses using Windows have put a risk on their "privacy, security, and freedom."
The demonstration seems to be more focused on the next version of Windows, 7, to be released October 22, 2009. FSF Executive Director, Peter Brown, was quoted saying that they are not targeting 7 in general, but more so Microsoft: "Any time Microsoft tries to push them to a new version, it's a good time to make that case," he remarked.
This isn't just about which operating system has market share, but it's also about digital rights management. The FSF wants to prevent these powers from becoming too common in the world.
"That's the kind of power that proprietary software gives to these corporations," said Brown. "When we give that power, sooner or later somebody comes knocking, whether it is the government or the corporations themselves. Free software is kind of the answer to that."
So, if you're interested, check out the Free Software Foundation's website. Who knows, maybe you will become a Linux fanatic soon.
Wii Bowling Ball makers deny responsibility for damages
And you thought the Wii Remote was bad...
Do you remember when the Wii first came out and all the lawsuits that followed? All because owners would not properly follow instructions! Well, gaming accessories manufacturer CTA Digital has produced a new controller for the Wii, and it may prove even more hazardous than the original Wii Remote. Yes, they have created a Wii Bowling Ball.
Sounds like trouble. Their official website quotes the following, regarding proper product handling:
"This Wii peripheral is the first of its kind to be fashioned after an authentic bowling ball, turning your wii-mote into the optimum performance-enhancing accessory! To operate simply ...plug the three holes with your fingers, as you would a bowling ball. Lastly, make sure to wear the wrist strap securely around your wrist, this will prevent the ball from accidentally flying out of your hand...Even though holding and bowling the ball is so like-like[sic] to the actual sport, never, ever release the ball!!"
CTA Digital also stated they are not responsible for any damages caused by the bowling ball. If this item actually takes off, you can bet we'll hear about more broken TVs and bruised bodies / egos in the coming months.
21,000+ upset gamers aiming to boycott Left 4 Dead 2
A small handful of people really don't want L4D2 so early
Last week at E3 we heard the announcement of Valve's new game, Left 4 Dead 2, and we were even able to get some hands-on action and a demo video. But not everyone is happy. As you may have already heard, some of the more hardcore Left 4 Dead fans can't stand the idea of a new game being released so soon.
The disgruntled gamers have started a boycott against the game, Steam, and Valve, with over 21,000 people signing a anti-L4D2 petition so far. One gamer was quoted stating "I will no longer purchase any games from steam ever again, i will go to gamestop for all gaming needs i don't care if i have to walk or drive, if it is released, nor will i play any of valves future games even if they make a half life 3."
Another gamer believes that current L4D owners have been ripped off of downloadable content from Valve. He stated, "I hope to GOD that people are smart enough to realize NOT to buy this BS. WHERE IS THE CONTENT YOU PROMISED US VALVE. Putting maps in the game that were SUPPOSE to be there at release is NOT new content."
The boycotting community believes that the release of Left 4 Dead 2 will "split the L4D community", thus "decreasing the quality of multiplayer gaming." In response, Valve said "L4D, we still aren't done with it...we still have updates coming...we're going to announce some stuff."
Hopefully they'll keep their word. If you want to learn more about the boycott, check out the Left 4 Dead 2 Boycott Steam group.
Free virus software, brought to you by Microsoft
Say 'bye bye' to Norton and 'hello' to Microsoft
So you just bought yourself a nice new computer from Best Buy, and it came pre-installed with a whole lot of software, one of them probably being Norton Anti-Virus from Symantec. Unfortunately, a lot of people can't stand Norton for a number of reasons, despite its overall effectiveness.
To appease such consumers (like myself), Microsoft has announced that it will be developing its own free virus software. The mystery software is still being tested by Microsoft employees, but a trial copy should be available for download soon.
We're not expecting Microsoft's anti-virus to have quite so many features as those pricey programs, so we're not sure if it will include encryption, data recovery, firewalls or back-up feature
Estimated release date is October 22, and the software will be bundled with Windows 7.
Swine flu scare promotes Internet fraud
The FDA is going around kickin' ass and taking names
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you might have heard about a little something called the swine flu, or more officially, H1N1. It's caused quite a scare by spreading so quickly from person to person, claiming a few lives along the way. A number of schools in the States have even been shut down for weeks at a time when any student exhibits flu symptoms. Kinda scary, eh?
As with all crises, there are some individuals out there who try to take advantage of the situation. Over the past week, the Food and Drug Administration has been finding websites claiming to have a cure for H1N1, the most common ingredient in these fake remedies being silver. Really? People are falling for silver being the magic cure? I guess people will believe anything in a time like this.
One such website that was publicly revealed to be fraudulent is http://rebuildermedical.com, where a "$199 SilverCure Swine Flu Protection Pack" was being sold. The pricey buncled included shampoo, lotion, conditioner and soap containing (you guessed it) silver.
Since the FDA has not approved any silver product to help cure the swine influenza, the claims made on the site are very much illegal. If the website does not act within 48 hours, legal action will be taken. Other websites are selling legal, FDA-approved products such as medical masks and gloves, but have been making false claims about their usefulness. These products are more effective for people who are at risk such as first response and medical personnel.
If you come across a website that you believe to be fake, please fill out this form on the FDA website.

New iPhone app helps visually impaired
A shake shake shake, and a phone call is made!
As you might know, the Apple iPhone has a ton of third-party applications, ranging from a guitar emulator to the --oh so wonderful -- iBoobs. Now, maybe these are not so useful, but they are quite fun. However, a new app, called Shake & Dial by Muhieddine El Kaissi, can defintely be filed under the 'useful' category, especially if you happen to be visually impaired.
The general purpose of this application is to help out those who have less-than-stellar vision with doing a simple iPhone tasks, such as making phone calls. Capitalizing on the iPhones motion sensor ability, all the user needs to do is shake the phone to make a call. Six preset contacts are set in place. For each shake made, the resulting contact will be called. So if the iPhone is shook twice, contact number two is called.
Now even though the application is to help make the visually impaired more independent, someone with better vision must use the touch screen to set the six contacts.
To buy the app for a whopping amount of $2.99, follow this link to the iTunes Store.
Google Maps to be censored?
California politician to have internet maps censor "delicate" places
Everyone likes to go on Google Maps and look up their own houses or explore their neighborhood. Well, what if you needed to find directions someplace only to find the location blacked out?
California politician Joel Anderson (R) wants to have Internet map services like Google Maps censor certain places of interests, such as religious or government buildings, homes of important people, and schools. He got this idea from the United Kingdom after former prime minister Tony Blair's home was taken off Google Maps. A few other UK government buildings were blocked as well.
Firefox mobile released in limited beta
'Fennec', a toned down and cuter version of the beloved Firefox
A Fennec is a small little desert fox, one of the cute and cuddly ones. Mozilla is naming their new mobile web browser Fennec, because it just so happens to be a smaller, cuter version of the very popular FireFox.
Released yesterday as a beta only for the Nokia N810 tablet, it has been gaining some attention. Like FireFox, it includes the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine, and the ability for add-ons. Of course, most add-ons currently available will not be supported, but lets hope the NAMFox is!
It is also expected that Fennec will be built to run on multiple mobile OS's, including Windows Mobile and Symbian. If you want to try out the browser now, and you don't happen to have a Nokia N810 tablet, you can head to the offical Fennec site and download a emulated version for Windows, Mac, or some Linux flavors.
The official Fennec website can be found here.
US Airways sued for $1 million over missing Xbox 360
Spiffed-up Xbox 360 lost during a plane trip, owner suing airline for $1 million
Everyone loves their consoles, whether it be the Playstation 3, Wii, or Xbox 360. But 21-year-old Yale student Jesse Maiman thinks his modded Xbox 360 is worth somewhere in the small area of $1 million.
On December 17th, Jesse took a flight from New Haven to Cincinnati, bringing his tricked out Xbox 360 with him, packed in his suitcase. After getting off the plane and going to baggage claim, he picked up the suitcase, sans 360.
Jesse is now suing the airline for $1,000,000; $1,700 being for the replacement of the console, the rest being for "non-economic distress." The Xbox had a specialized $1,000 hard disk drive, which apparently made it spiffy.
Please tell me why anyone would need a thousand dollar hard drive? Let alone $998,300 for "non-economic distress"?
Old Mac + Dreamcast = iCast
Gutting an old iMac and putting in some Dreamcast parts gives you a working console
Now I'm a big PC guy, but this is pretty freakin' cool. Imagine having your own custom built Dreamcast, derived from an old iMac.
Locigdustbin from CGCC did just that by taking an old iMac G3 and putting in some Dreamcast parts, ending up with a working console he dubbed the iCast. Taking out the old Mac components was necessary of course; he also put a controller port and power button in the front and added a disk drive into a port in the back.
If you would like to do this yourself, check out the forum post linked below.
U.S. government could save billions by going open-source
New research shows potential new ways for gov't to save
So you might have heard of a little thing called the "economic crisis" happening all over the world.
Here's another way our federal government can save some money during these tough economic times. Based on a study conducted by various organizations, the U.S. government could potentially save $23.6 billion by going open-source, using virtualization technologies and cloud computing.
The study was conducted by MeriTalk, Red-Hat, and DLT Solutions, all of whom are involved in open-source technology. According to their expert opinion, in three years "the potential savings would be $3.7 billion for using open-source software; $13.3 billion for using virtualization technologies; and $6.6 billion from cloud computing or software-as-a-service." These hypothetical figures were based on current federal agency budgets and draw certain assumptions from other similar studies concerning federal computing resources.
Now that sounds very reasonable to me. Although the change in infrastructure could mean some re-working needs to be done, in the long term this could really help out the economy.
GI Joe game will be based on 'The Rise of Cobra' movie
American hero GI Joe makes a comeback this summer
August 7th, 2009 marks the release of the of GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra movie, directed by Stephen Sommers, and EA has announced plans to make a game based on the GI Joe flick. Talk about the revival of an American hero!
The upcoming game will let players relive some distinguished moments from the film, as well as the classic comic and TV series. Yahoo! News hopes to see memorable quotes from the franchise return in the movie and game:
Shipwreck: Let's reconnoiter, Snake Eyes, and try not to attract attention. Sure. Who'd notice a wet sailor with a parrot and a silent, masked man with a timber wolf? I think we're in major trouble!
Flint: Remember, a Cobra is a snake and snake is sneak spelled sideways!
Cobra Command speaking about Sgt. Slaughter: That man has the constitutionality of a vending machine.
Gameplay will include both a single-player mode and a single-screen co-op mode. You will also be able to choose from 12 unique GI Joe characters, each with their own unique arsenal of weapons and abilities. A countdown to the movie's release can be found on the official GI Joe website.

One day in late October, the three Barcia children sat at a table in front of their parents' restaurant, Palazzo 53 in Pittston, carving decorative pumpkins and munching on a snack of … calamari.
That's nothing, the youngsters' teen-age babysitter mentioned to a passing reporter and photographer.
They've eaten figs, she said, hinting that too was remarkable in a world where many children are rumored to eat nothing but chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese.
But the Barcias' willingness to try different foods could be a sign of the future.
Several local chefs cite a greater maturity of youthful taste as a trend they foresee for 2013.
We don't have a children's menu per se, Ruth Corcoran from Cork Bar & Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre said. I'm seeing their palates grow. We have 5-year-olds who come in and want fish dishes. We'll make a smaller version of whatever the adults are having.
A lot of times we'll offer a petite fillet, said Chef John Hudak Jr. of Vanderlyn's Restaurant in Kingston. Or we'll offer a grilled chicken breast with vegetable (to kids). But we can't take away the ever-so-popular chicken tenders and fries.
Whether it's tried-and-true chicken tenders or something more exotic, naturally you'd expect a child's portion to be smaller than one intended for an adult.
Some chefs say restaurants will make adult portions leaner in 2013, in keeping with people's growing desire to be health-conscious.
As a bonus, Corcoran said, when portions are tiny you can sample more things.
I recently went to special tapas restaurant in Atlantic City. There were three of us and we must have tried about 10 different small plates, she said. It was great.
She sees new flavoring agents coming to the forefront this year, including some that could make you pucker.
I'll add different vinegars to short ribs or chicken dishes, she said. It adds a real depth of flavor.
Sour beers are huge right now, added Chef Gene Philbin of the Peculiar Culinary Co. One of my favorites to come out is Dogfish Head Birra Etrusca Bronze. Especially in the warmer weather, it pairs great with fruit.
Speaking of menu items from the sour side, Hudak said, Pickling is a big thing. You can do it with any vegetable. We might pickle some watermelon rinds or pickled tomatoes when they're in their prime.
As for Philbin, he's such a big fan of pickling, he once wanted to own a pickling company. For now, he's established the Peculiar Culinary Co., which has popped up in various locations to serve multi-course meals, most recently in Pittston on New Year's Eve.
I've pickled radishes. I've pickled ginger, he said. I've pickled winter vegetables – little patty pans and zucchinis – to go with pork. I love pickling tomatoes, small cherry tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. They'll last in your refrigerator.
A pickled cabbage dish called kimchi is also something Philbin expects to serve in 2013. It's a Korean dish, and he expects Korean food to be the next big thing.
In the big cities (Korean restaurants) are becoming huge and trendy and posh, he said.
Since he likes to blend traditions, Philbin said, he's working a Korean braised short-rib taco. It's a mix between Spanish and Korean flavors, he said.
Another restaurant trend for 2013, area chefs say, will be to offer foods that are gluten-free to accommodate diners who are sensitive to that protein component found in grains.
You can have everything – any fresh protein, veal, shrimp steak. The gluten comes in the sauce, how you thicken the sauce, Hudak said. Are we going to put it on the menu? No, but people usually ask and we can accommodate them.
I've trained my staff to know there are different kinds of vegetarians, Hudak continued. Some don't eat meat; some don't do meat or dairy, some don't eat seafood. And for the true vegan that eats only plant-based foots, no animals, nothing with a face, we can really dress something up. We can make a vegan dish that absolutely turns heads.
Local chefs said they try to buy regional produce when they can.
Hudak, for example, purchases honey from a farm in Dallas. Corcoran buys desserts from a baker in Nesquehoning. Philbin has purchased ales from a Nanticoke brewery and said he doesn't mind paying a little more for meat from a mom-and-pop butcher shop.
It's wonderful to get vegetables and fruits from local farms in late spring, summer and into fall. Everything is so fresh, Hudak said. It's a little more difficult this time of year.
But for restaurants to patronize closer-to-home growers, Corcoran said, it has to be cost effective or it just won't work.
Finally, Philbin said, he predicts more food trucks, especially those offering gourmet-style food, will be spotted throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania in 2013. He'd like to have one himself, he said.
He also foresees more pop-up restaurants joining him in that arena, and said he welcomes them.
Competition is good, he said. If you don't have competition, you could get stagnant and lose your passion.

Tasty but bad for me
- Well, in the name of honesty: Veggie hot dogs, Daiya vegan cheese, fried U-don noodles sprinkled with sea salt and shredded nori, crackers and hummus, chips and salsa/guacamole, raw cashews, way too much almond milk, occasionally popcorn with evoo, salt, and pepper, vegan multi-grain bread with raspberry honey and almond/hazelnut/fruit butter, occasionally chips, veggie samosas, and occasionally chocolate, if it doesn't contain animal products other than a bit of dairy.
- —Guest Veggie_junk_food
Sometimes I just want chips...
- I do my share of good-for-me veggies and fruits, but sometimes, I just want crunchy and salty CHIPS! I have found 'Beanitos' Pinto Bean & Flax Chips hit the spot! Corn free, low GI, high fiber, gluten free, 4 gm protein, and tasty! I am lucky to live near Ann Arbor, MI, where we have great grocery stores that offer tons of good choices: Arbor Farms, Trader Joe's, Plum Market, TWO Whole Food and even our big chains are on the right path.
- —Guest Susan
- We bought a Nesco dehydrator. Now we snack on bananas, apples, pears and cantaloup. Sprinkle a little cinnamon and stevia on the bananas.. wow, sweet. Worth buying a dehydrator.
- —Guest larry
Frozen Grapes
- Frozen red grapes make a wonderful summertime snack. Wash and dry the grapes, spread them on a cookie sheet, and place it in the freezer for at least 2 hours. Grapes can then be placed in freezer bags and enjoyed whenever you like.
- —lindavb19
Sweet or salty snacks
- I love chips but have been off them for 4 months now and I replace them with no salted crackers and vegetables slices (cucumbers, celery, carrots, peppers) which I dip in hummus. I enjoy a piece of chocolate now and then but most of the time I replace it with cut off fruit, or fruit salad home made (put your favorite fruits) or dried cranberries with no salt mix nuts.
- —Guest Nuts, cucumbers, cranberries
I snack on popcorn!
- I pop popcorn in either coconut oil or peanut oil with just a little sea salt. I also love dark chocolate with nuts.....yum!
- —Guest Popcorn and nuts
Evening snacks
- I like veggies with bean dip. (salsa, refried beans and some nutritional yeast, than heat slightly) Yum! Or veggies and apple wedges with natural almond butter to dip. Or raisins, peanuts and a small amount dark chocolate chips. All good!
- —Guest here it is
- I love the cocoa almonds after dinner. I have to confess that I cannot give up potato chips. If someone has a suggestion on a substitute I would love to hear it!
- —Guest Vegan
Trail mix...homemade
- First thought is always going to be fruit...pears, bananas, grapes, and watermelon are the first choices! But for crunchy, sweet and satisfying...I love to get a variety of ingredients from the market...usually contains someting like raw cashews, dried bananas, pumpkins seeds, sunflower seeds, raw almonds, dried cranberries, dried pineapple...and the real 'swee't satisfier...yogurt covered raisins...m-m-m-m-m! A couple of small handfuls is all it takes and I'm back on track!
- —Guest Irish54
What I snack on.
- Not a very healthy snack, soy meat, crackers, vegan cheese and olives. Very high in salt, and very addictive. I really need to switch to something else after work, or skip the pre-dinner nosh entirely.
- —Guest Soy meat and crackers
Snacks with a dip
- Pretzels or tortilla chips with hummus or Tofutti's herb "cream cheese" spread. Chips and salsa/guac is my favorite!! I also love apples with nut butter or veggies with hummus. Trail mix is my energizer go to.
- —Guest College Veggie
What do you actually snack on?
- Cocoa dusted figs; tastes like a chocolate truffle. Or macadamia nuts or any kind of nuts. I especially love those that are covered in dark chocolate!
- —Guest Kristine
veggie snack
- Whole green beans, sprayed with little evoo then coated with sesame seeds just put in a bowl for grabbing. Smushed ripe strawberries, blended with a little plain yogurt, then frozen slightly, then spoon into bowl like sorbet. Add honey or sweetnlo if wish sweeter.
- —Guest carol
easy and healthy
- I make my own no-oil, no egg chocolate cake (got the recipe from you). Whenever I need a snack just a slice is very satisfying.The rest stays safely in the fridge.
- —Guest choco-cake
- An oatmeal biscuit. Then another. Then a slice of Quorn ham on a linseed bread slice. With mustard. Bread w Vegemite, Australia's main cultural gift to the world. Fresh peas in microwave 8 mins; add vinegar, fresh mint from my garden, olive oil. Last night's fried broccoli left in frying pan; scoop up w fingers. Yum. And so on, throughout the day.
- —Guest trevor

Rep Power:
When I first got the boat I was sailing in the famous Race out by Fishers Island. There were about 20 small boats with guys fishing. I assumed that they were NOT anchored although the depth there might have been in the 20' range.
So I sailed skilllfully right through the lot and snagged one guys anchor line. Boy you shoulda seen his face as he began following me!
I had to cut his line... take his address and send him money for new ground tackle. WOW that was embarrassing. Luckily no one got hurt and no boats were damaged.
I now stay away from these guys with fishing poles out.. some are drifting and some may be anchored and usually right in some channel or fairway.

Parents of ADHD Children
Daughter, 6 years old: why am I so frustrated?
My daughter is 6 1/2 and my son is 5. Both have ADHD. My daughter takes 4 mL daily of Quillivant. Even though both have ADHD, my daughter is so much more frustrating for me! She is more hyperactive and cannot play calmly for more than 2 minutes. She is jeopardizing play dates in this way Bc the other girls want to color or play Barbies and my daughter is not interested.
Is anyone in a similar situation? I feel so guilty, and I just want to understand why it's my daughter who "gets to me" so much. I am a 36 year old married woman.

The penal codes, which call for severe punishment of certain crimes, have also drawn a lot of attention. KU law professor Raj Bhala, who teaches Shariah, explains the punishment for shoplifting.

Eberlein, Arthur L.
Arthur L. Eberlein of Wausau and Minocqua, Wisconsin, retired attorney, municipal court judge and US Bankruptcy Trustee for the Western District of Wisconsin, died on December 7, 2013, in Wausau while under hospice care. He was a practicing attorney in Wausau for fifty-two years, retiring in 2003.
Mr. Eberlein was born May 9, 1924, in Wausau, the son of the late Arthur H. and Marguerite I. Eberlein. He was a graduate of Wausau High School in 1941, Lawrence College, Appleton in 1944, and the University of Wisconsin Law School in 1951. In 1942, he joined the Navy while at Lawrence College and continued his training at Columbia and Harvard Universities. He was discharged in 1946 with a rank of Lieutenant JG, after serving in the South Pacific with the 16th Special Naval Construction Battalion. On July 11, 1947, he married Doris Jean Fulkerson in Monroe, Michigan.
Mr. Eberlein joined his father in the law practice of Eberlein & Eberlein in Wausau in 1951. He also served as Justice of the Peace from 1951 to 1959 and was elected Municipal Court Judge, serving from May 1959 to April 1988.
In addition to his work, Mr. Eberlein was an Eagle Scout and regularly assisted Troop 416 at Camp Tesomas, while his two sons were involved in scouting. Through Arthur's encouragement, both sons and a grandson achieved the Eagle Scout rank. He was a 39 year member of the Wausau Curling Club, and was a member of the Marathon County, Wisconsin State and American Bar Associations, the American Legion, the Wausau Club, the Wausau Country Club, the Minocqua Country Club and the
Elks Lodge
#248. Mr. Eberlein was a member of the Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Wausau Masonic Forest Lodge and The Valley of Eau Claire of The Scottish Rite Consistory Tripoli Shrine Temple.
Mr. Eberlein loved his family and enjoyed his work and the relationships he built in the community. He was a fan of Wisconsin professional and collegiate athletics. He especially enjoyed spending time at the family cottage in Minocqua and property on Lake Superior in the Keweenaw Peninsula. He will be missed.
Survivors, besides his wife, Doris, include his children, Thomas (Sara), Wausau; Ann (Ron Plucinski), Niwot, Colorado; James (Brooks), Oconomowoc; Jean (Tom TenHaken), Grantham, New Hampshire; a brother E. Larry (Ellen), Edmonton, Alberta; six grandchildren, Lara (Tim Balk) and Ross Eberlein, Kylen and Myles Eberlein, Carter and Graham TenHaken; and one great-grandson, Emmett Balk. He was preceded in death by his parents and a granddaughter, Alison Eberlein.
The family requests that memorials be made to the Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Fellowship - Woodruff, WI; Shriner's Hospital for Children - Twin Cities; Homme Home Foundation - Wittenberg, WI.
The family would like to invite Arthur's former colleagues and friends to a reception in his honor, to be held on Thursday, December19th, at the Wausau Elks Club from 5:30 - 7:30.

Hola y Buenas dias!
We spent Monday night (Feb5) with Greg & Leah in Mission for the jump across the border on Tuesday to Portland. Andrew / Cathy picked up a copy of Season 4 Downton Abbey for Maria-Lynn of which we viewed an episode to everyone's delight. Always fun; it was great to spend the time with G&Land taking Babs (their dog) for a brisk walk in the morning with Greg & Leah to the local dog park. Who ordered this Arctic front?????

The last group of pictures are those of downtown Florence, which is a scenic seaside community located at the confluence of the Siuslaw River and the Pacific Ocean. Conveniently located along the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (Highway 101), with its walkable Historic Old Town.
Prehistoric good times followed by freezing time

Lesson Learned: No more camping near the beach with massive tent...or perhaps any tent. We definitely had a little battle with the wind while setting ourselves up. We were pretty much convinced we were going to wake up with the roof of our tent on our faces in ...

One of the first auditory memories I have about the Chris Paul trade and this new era of Clippers is D.J. Foster consoling distraught fans about letting Eric Gordon go in the deal. Sure, the premier point guard in the league is always a deal you make if it's available, but the Clippers were supposed to navigate their rise to elite status with a Paul-Gordon tandem in the backcourt; playmaking and shot-creating dynamism married to two sub-28 year old athletes. The backcourt was supposed to carry the load and Blake Griffin would get the opportunity to build off his stellar rookie campaign without the burden of a team on him.
But E.J. was gone and there was a considerable amount of ambivalence in Clipper Nation. Hindsight is 20-20 and no one regrets the deal now, but I remember what helped me swallow that bitter pill in December 2011: "…watch Chris Paul play; everything's gonna go away. I promise."
