|What is the best piece of political advice you ever received?

|What character trait best serves a public official?
|Authenticity, integrity, discernment.
|What character flaw most harms a public official?
|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
|The Happiest Toddler on the Block. This book contains insight that is helpful for dealing with people of all ages when overcoming adversity and disagreements.
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
|My home.
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|Barry Goldwater. Sen. Goldwater was definitely authentic and possessed the gift of discernment. He understood that creating public policy amenable to all viewpoints is exactly what our founding fathers intended when they wrote a Constitution with strict limitations on the power of government in our personal and business lives.
|Has state government been spending too much money, the right amount, or not enough? Specifically, how would you change the state's approach to spending?
|As long as state government is spending only what it receives in
revenue, then I think the important discussion is about how the money is
spent. I believe we need to allocate more of our resources toward creating
a well-educated and trained workforce that will attract permanent jobs to
the state and increase our tax base. I would change spending in areas that
do not promote independence and self-sufficiency to ensure anything
government does is meant to empower citizens to improve their lives and be
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too much money. Why?
|I think we spend too much money on the legislative session by allowing
legislators to introduce an excessive number of bills that delay addressing
the budget, force the session into extra days and reduce cooperation. I
support severely restricting the number of bills a legislator can introduce
and sponsor/co-sponsor; restricting the total number of bills members of a
political party can introduce that do not have bi-partisan support; and
eliminating per diems after 60 days if the legislative party caucuses are
not ready to make budget proposals that have bi-partisan support.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too little money. Why?
|With our growing population we need more
resources to protect the wellbeing of Arizona's children.
|If you favor further state tax cuts, name one tax that should be cut and why.
|Arizona has low taxes. I support keeping it that way. I am most
concerned with protecting homeowners from escalating property taxes. Many
homeowners properly budgeted for their homes and now face double or triple
the property taxes due to increased property values that should be a
benefit, not a burden.
|If you oppose further tax cuts, name one strategy you would pursue to boost the state's economy.
|The best way to protect Arizonans from future increases in taxes is to promote sustainable economic development that brings permanent jobs to Arizona. I support efforts to take Arizona's education to the top in the nation by increasing access to rigorous academic curriculum, providing financial incentives that retain top quality teachers, and reducing class size to increase academic performance.
|Are there any circumstances under which you would favor a tax increase to offset future state budget deficits?
|If we spend wisely on expanding our tax base, we will not need to increase taxes. Our revenues can increase without implanting a tax increase.
|Should Arizona take the lead in fighting global warming even if the federal government doesn't? If so, how?
|State and local governments must adopt their own standards specific to the environmental concerns present in their own areas to protect their residents. Due to the location of Scottsdale and Fountain Hills in relation to the surrounding mountains,
legislative district 8 voters would benefit from policy reducing ozone emissions and dust. Our area of the Valley often registers the highest ozone readings, with much of the pollutants coming from other areas of the Valley.
|What one state action do you think would work best to combat the problem of illegal immigration. Why?
|I think a worker program is a vital and important step in overcoming the many negative impacts illegal immigration is having on our state and our country. Worker programs will ensure that those immigrants present in Arizona are employed and self sustaining. They will also provide an available labor source to employers who rely on the present labor pool to meet the demands of their businesses. Additionally, worker programs will provide undocumented immigrants with the opportunity to live within a system that documents their employment history, which will also reduce the amount of public safety dollars presently being used for sweeps that utilize profiling rather than behavior as means of fighting crime.
|If you could only introduce one bill in the coming legislative session, what would it be?
|State trust land reform. Four countless years the Arizona legislature has failed to advance appropriate reforms out of fear of upsetting the various special interest groups. It is time the legislature abandons efforts to bring competing interests together within the special interest groups and instead acts in the best interest of the state to
protect our quality of life and promote responsible growth that will not dilute our water and land resources.
|Name one unsuccessful bill during the 2008 legislative session that you believe should have become law.
|HB2416 would have expanded curbside recycling programs to include recycling for multi-family dwellings reducing waste in Arizona land fills and providing apartment and condo residents the option to make environmentally friendly decisions when it comes to their
household waste.
|Should the Legislature act to reduce the influence of state and federal courts over state government? If so, how?
|If so, how? Absolutely. In recent history, Supreme Court rulings have deluded the intent of our founding fathers to ensure that state's retain all rights not delineated to the federal government in the Constitution. The federal courts should rule on state
issues only when those issues are potentially infringing upon individual freedoms or the express powers and authority of the federal government.
|What, if anything, should the Legislature do to improve health care for its citizens?
|I believe healthcare is a basic necessity beyond education and welfare programs. I support expanding state healthcare programs to ensure all children have access to adequate healthcare. I believe Arizona voters agree with me that if we hold the collective belief that all children have a right to an education, then they also all have a right to basic
|Do you support using state funds for bioscience research?
|Yes. I believe research is an effort to be advanced at the state and federal level
for the benefit of all.
|Do you support the use of school vouchers? Why or why not?
|No. Unlike tax credits, which allow individuals to direct their own tax dollars where
they want, vouchers take the tax dollars of the public as a whole and direct them at the discretion of one individual tax payer. I believe we must avoid allowing individual tax payers to direct and control taxes paid by another.
|Should the AIMS test continue to be required for graduation? Should it be toughened?
|I believe there must be a test for graduation.
|Would spending more money on public schools increase the quality of education in Arizona? Why or why not?
|There are areas where we need to spend more money on public schools. There area also areas that are appropriately funded and need to be spent wisely for the best impact. For spending: We must spend the necessary money to build enough schools to
house the students we have. Overcrowded classrooms are a waste of money and
do not enhance learning. We also must spend the necessary money to retain top quality teachers. For using our resources wisely: We need to develop cooperative efforts among school districts to share costs in areas related to transportation and administration without creating mega-districts that will diminish local control and parental input into the education of their children.

Whitworth Honors Multi-Generation Supporters with Naming of New Residence Hall
Four generations of Charles and Karlyn Boppell's family have supported Whitworth College. Now the chairman of the college's board of trustees and his wife have pledged $2 million for a new campus residence hall that will support future generations of students - including, perhaps, some Boppell offspring.
Whitworth officials will honor the Boppells at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in a groundbreaking ceremony for the new residence, to be named Boppell Hall. The $4 million project is being built on the northeast corner of campus by Walker Construction. Scheduled to be completed in November 2001, the three-story, 29,400-square-foot building will house 84 students in suite-style rooms.
"The rise in retention and enrollment over the past five years has stretched our campus housing capacity to the limit, so this new residence hall will provide much-needed space for more of our students to enjoy the benefits of living on campus," says Whitworth President Bill Robinson. "It is typical of Chuck and Karlyn Boppell to seize this opportunity to make a significant difference in the lives of our students. We are blessed by the generosity of these wonderful friends of Whitworth."
Charles Boppell's grandfather supported Whitworth and served on the board after his two sons attended the college in the 1920s. Both of Boppell's parents attended Whitworth, along with several aunts, uncles and cousins. Boppell, all of his siblings, and his wife-to-be, Karlyn, also attended the college. Charles Boppell graduated in 1965 with a degree in economics and Karlyn Boppell is a 1967 graduate in music. Their daughter, Tauni, graduated with the Whitworth class of 1990.
Ironically, it was Boppell's father, Carl, who discovered the 1927 fire that ravaged Ballard Hall, the college's second-oldest building and now a landmark women's residence hall. Carl served on Whitworth's board of trustees from 1944 to 1965 and was followed by his son, Charles, who joined the board in 1983 and has served as its chairman since 1990.
The Boppells say that their gift for the residence hall project was motivated by their family's strong ties to the college and by their deep confidence in Whitworth's future under Bill Robinson's leadership. In the eighth year of Robinson's presidency, Whitworth is enjoying record levels of student enrollment and retention, the strongest financial position in the college's history, and increased external visibility.
"Building a new residence hall has been a high priority for Bill Robinson because he knows how important it is for students to connect to the campus community early in their college experience. Karlyn and I wanted to honor that and to recognize what a significant difference Bill has made to the college in his tenure as president," Boppell says. "More than a dozen members of the Boppell family have attended or worked for Whitworth, so the college has shaped who we are and what we're about in significant ways. This was something we could do to give back to the college that has given so much to us."
The Boppells live in Bel Air, Calif., where Mr. Boppell has led several successful companies in the restaurant and food industries. He currently is president and CEO of Sizzler International, Inc., headquartered in Culver City, Calif.
The Boppells' gift for the residence hall follows a $1 million pledge for the Karlyn Boppell Music Scholarship and annual operational support that the couple made in October 1999 to launch the public phase of Whitworth's $50 million Faith in the Future Campaign. More than $45 million has already been raised or pledged during the campaign, which seeks to proclaim and enhance the college's academic excellence through support for endowed chairs and professorships, a new academic building, technology improvements, student scholarships and other initiatives.
Located in Spokane, Wash., Whitworth is a private, liberal arts college affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The college enrolls 2,000 students in more than 50 undergraduate and graduate programs.

Dear Faculty and Staff,
We wanted to let you know Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano has announced that the CU-Boulder campus will reopen Monday, Sept. 16, for classes and business operations. Although a significant number of campus buildings experienced some damage from flooding, all classrooms and business services will be operational. It is possible some classes might be canceled or postponed due to faculty availability, but most are expected to be held as normal.
As we prepare to reopen the campus tomorrow and employees return to work, it is important that supervisors understand the serious impact this weather emergency has had on some of our employees. The campus understands that some of our faculty and staff members might have extreme difficulty getting to work this week due to the recent storms and flooding.
It is important that we keep the safety and well being of our employees in mind. Supervisors should provide employees with administrative leave that is appropriate for the employee's situation (see below policies). Annual leave should be granted liberally to those employees who need to address issues related to the rain and floods. Supervisors should also allow employees to work from home if they have that capability and it is appropriate for the situation.
Our faculty and staff should also proactively communicate with their supervisors and colleagues so campus units can assess their staffing levels for the coming days.
If faculty are unable to get to campus Monday or Tuesday, they should let their chairs, directors, or deans know as soon as possible. Faculty are reminded that if they have to cancel a class, they should, first, work with their colleagues, chairs, directors and deans to find a substitute to teach their classes. If that is not possible, faculty should reschedule their classes or provide an alternative learning experience, perhaps using online tools. The Office of Faculty Affairs is ready to assist faculty in any way they can as is the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program.
Information about our campus's leave policies are below:
For questions regarding the above referenced policies, please contact the Office of Labor Relations at 303-492-0956.
For those who are unable to return home, emergency shelters are open. A list of open shelters can be found online at www.coemergency.com or at www.redcross.org. Residents looking for assistance also are encouraged to call 2-1-1.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of Colorado and ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the area affected by severe storms, flooding, landslides, and mudslides beginning Sept. 11, 2013 and continuing.
The President's action makes federal funding available to affected individuals in Boulder County.
Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster.
Individuals who have sustained losses in the designated area can begin applying for assistance by registering online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) or by web enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov. Disaster assistance applicants, who have a speech disability or hearing loss and use TTY, should call 1-800-462-7585 directly; for those who use 711 or Video Relay Service (VRS), call 1-800-621-3362. The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. (local time) seven days a week until further notice.
People affected by the flood, even if they have flood insurance, should register with FEMA.
When returning to campus on Monday, you may discover property damage. Please work with your building proctor to report damage to the Facilities Management service desk at 303-492-5522. If you discover theft or missing property, please report them online at the top of the page on http://police.colorado.edu.
We realize that this is a trying time for all in our campus community. We greatly appreciate the dedication and flexibility that have been demonstrated over the past several days.
Louise Vale, Vice Chancellor for Administration
Russ Moore, Provost

Sell an old mobile and gain access to email on-the-go
7 June 2010 — 4:10 PM
People who have been given cash for recycling their old mobile phone may be among those currently enjoying the Ovi Mail service.
Ovi Mail, the email system that comes with each Nokia phone, is now home to more than ten million unique accounts, the telecommunications firm has announced.
Mobile phones are becoming the "default" device for most of the email-using world, Nokia states.
It is imperative to own a handset capable of offering the ability to check mail on-the-go in the modern world, as people switch from calls and letters to electronic messaging.
Consumers currently without such a mobile could choose to sell their old phone and put the money towards a Nokia model that lets them remain in touch with their correspondence wherever they are.
Not only would this allow access to an Ovi Mail account, it would also add to Nokia's sales of more than one billion devices a year.

Sigrid Kaag, the Special Coordinator of the joint mission of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). AFP PHOTO /LOUAI BESHARA
UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations and the global chemical weapons watchdog are awaiting approval from a country to use its port to load Syria's most deadly chemicals onto a U.S. ship for destruction offshore, the head of the mission said on Wednesday.
Sigrid Kaag, head of the joint mission of the United Nations and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons Syria mission, briefed the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday but did not identify which country she had been in talks with.
The OPCW said on Saturday the United States had started modifying a U.S. naval vessel to be able to destroy Syria's 500 tons of chemicals, including actual nerve agents - neutralizing them offshore with other chemicals in a process known as hydrolysis.
Italy, Norway and Denmark have offered to transport Syria's chemicals from the northern Syrian port of Latakia with military escorts. The chemicals would then be transferred to the U.S. ship at another port.
"We're still awaiting confirmation by a member state that a port is available for trans-loading, so it will be trans-loading in a port," Kaag told reporters after briefing the council.
When asked if the port to be used would likely be in the Mediterranean, she said: "The geographic range is quite significant, so no, not necessarily. At the moment, we're discussing and we're hoping to have early confirmation soon."
The Hague-based OPCW, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in October, has been given the task of overseeing destruction of Syria's chemical weapons stocks under an agreement that averted U.S. missile strikes.
It followed a sarin gas attack on the outskirts of Damascus in August that killed hundreds of people.

When a 3 appears next to one team in a seven game series, a sense of desperation is evident from both squads.
The Knicks snatched a monumental Game 3 in Boston on Friday night and now they are in a position to sweep their rival in a Sunday Game 4 matinee. New York was downright surgical in its 90-76 win by defusing one of the most intense crowds in the NBA with a terrific start that featured a 16-point halftime lead.
From a Knicks perspective, the game plan remains the same as they want to slam on the gas pedal from the opening tip. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in the NBA playoffs. There are obvious benefits to a sweep – rest, confidence, and a significant amount of time to prepare for the second round opponent.
Carmelo Anthony vocalized the need for a Game 4 win in Boston, "Guys are hungry." He later added, "We really want this, we feel like it's right there in the palm of our hands."
Only three teams have forced a Game 7 after trailing 3-0 in a best of seven series. The 1951 Knickerbockers, the 1994 Denver Nuggets, and the 2003 Portland Trailblazers all reached a Game 7 but failed to accomplish the feat. This is a great opportunity for New York to earn its first sweep since the 1999 season.
Anthony reiterated the importance of a sweep, "To accomplish that, would be spectacular, it would be a dream come true. I've never swept anybody."
Shifting focus to the other side, it was startling to hear the postgame comments from the Celtics camp. Paul Pierce used the word "surprising" to summarize his team's 0-3 hole. Kevin Garnett praised the Knicks for their effort and head coach Doc Rivers seemed out of answers after starting Jason Terry on Friday night.
With that said, Boston is a proud organization and will attempt to send the series back to Manhattan for a Game 5. The last time the Celtics were swept was in 2004, several years before the "Big 3" was formed. Boston will have to overcome an inept offense, issues at the point guard spot, and a lack of firepower from the bench. Not to mention, the Knicks are fresh off their best offensive performance of the series.
Both teams will play with a sense of desperation from a different perspective but the crew that seizes the momentum early will most likely prevail in a Game 4 elimination game.

MPAA sues newsgroup, P2P search sitesFebruary 23, 2006
The barring of U.S. residents by TorrentSpy comes as a U.S. district judge is expected to rule any day on whether TorrentSpy must turn over its user information to the Motion Picture Association of America. That group filed a civil complaint against the company last year accusing TorrentSpy of violating copyright law.
"TorrentSpy's decision to stop accepting U.S. visitors was not compelled by any court," according to a statement from the company. "Rather, it arises out of an uncertain legal climate in the United States regarding user privacy and the apparent tension between U.S. and European Union Internet privacy laws."
The company also said that because its servers are located in the Netherlands, the site will remain accessible to users outside of the United States.
Although TorrentSpy doesn't host any pirated movies on its site, the search engine helps users find unauthorized copies, the MPAA alleged in its suit. TorrentSpy has argued that the company has many legitimate uses and is protected under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The DMCA provides safe harbor for Internet service providers and does not hold them responsible for unlawful acts committed by their users.
The MPAA declined to comment on TorrentSpy's decision.
Ira Rothken, attorney for TorrentSpy, said Monday that the decision to shut off U.S. residents will not affect the company's appeal of a recent magistrate judge's order that it hand over user information from the RAM on the company's computers.
"This is a wake-up call to citizens and Internet users that their privacy isn't protected as well as they might have thought," Rothken said in an interview with CNET News.com. "Google, Yahoo and other search engines should be very concerned. One day these attacks on privacy will likely affect them."

Way to go to stop piracy this is a hallmark achievement. In the information era - the public needs to learn to pay for software - It is an asset created with dedicated effort.

- Every time the MPAA/RIAA goes after some of these file sharing sites or companies, the developers figure out a way to make it harder to track users and files. Eventually we will be able to share files anonymously without them even finding out! So in the end, this isn't such bad news after all, just an advancement of progress. The future is gonna be awesome!

I am an individual who spends a great deal of money on movies. I do not like piracy, however I feel that it is no longer immoral to steal from the MPAA. It is still illegal, just not immoral.
I think the best solution to this mess is to stop going to or purchasing movies, and start reading more books.

Rated 3 out of 5 by number 3 from love the look, not the fit This boot looks awesome and I was very excited when I got them. Unfortunately they had such a wide fit at the top of the boot the top movedbackand forth somuch when I walked and I wouldn't be able toput my jeans over the boots as you could clearly see the boot at the top under the jeans. Hoping to find a different pair that isn't so wide at the top because I have always heard how comfortable Ariat boots are!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bridget from Best boots. Period I'm writing this review after having my pair of these boots for over four years. I couldn't even say how many hundredsof miles I have put on theseboots; andtheyare stillcomfortable; attractiveand fullyfunctional. The best is that they are still one hundred percent water tight. I have scaled mountains with these and ridden across mountains on horseback. Was actually considering buying a second pair but there is nothing wrong with my original pair. No one will ever regret buying these.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous123 from My lease favorite These are actually my least favorite boot ive ever bought, and I love ariats. The tops are way to stiff and do not conform to my pants at all so they look super weird when I wear them, the soles are the least comfortable I've ever had on any of my Ariats, and the leather never softened. I've tried on other pairs of Ariats since I bought these, and they were wonderful, so maybe its just this style of boot. But I definitely have not got my moneys worth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SunnySD from Hits the boot trifecta! Practical, comfortable, stylish - I especially love the round toes and the lack of a break-in period. Wore them rightout of the box all day working cows andno blisters orsorefeet when I took them off. Iwaswalking or standing most of the time that I wasn't riding. That's better performance than my running shoes give me after a day spent in those! I'm strongly considering ordering a second pair for "dressy" occasions.

About Instagram
Instagram is an online photo-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures, apply digital filters to them, and share them on a variety of social networking services, such as media sites including Facebook or Twitter. A distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras.
Instagram was created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger and launched in October 2010. The service rapidly gained popularity, with over 100 million registered users (and around 90 million monthly active users) as of January 2013. Instagram is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play. Support was originally available for only the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch; in April 2012, support was added for Android camera phones running 2.2 Froyo. Instagram has no plans to offer Windows Phone support.

Jane's Addiction Bassist Eric Avery Quits Band
did he have to go to rehab to quit the addiction?
I really wanted to see this band in it's original form and unfortunately never got the chance. You'll be sorely missed Mr. Avery. To the rest of the band: Rock on and good luck with your search for a new bassist.
I would never be able to put up with Navarro either.
great band, a long time ago
they should of stayed broken up
There's too much ego with this band, I thought the Wave Goodbye tour would've been better with them playing before NIN, I don't blame Avery, he's probably doing the smart thing and getting out before it's too late and TOO MUCH!!!
udsh is 100% right.
This is unfortunate news but not really a surprise since Perry never really forgave Eric for stabbing him in the back when he tried to fuck Perry's wife back in the day-Perry called him out on it onstage no less and didn't consider eric a friend but was a huge fan of the guys talent. That tension helped make the band more potent but was a recipe for disaster. The NIN/JA tour was the highlight of my year, the band was tighter than a jimmy cap and really stretched out the jams. Eric Avery is one of my alltime favorite bass players,I am not a fan of his solo work but you got to respect someone who can walk away from a cash cow like Jane's Addiction to pursue his own art. Whoever joins the band will be a monster musician so JA will continue to melt faces-Hopefully Flea will rejoin since the Chilli Peppers are on infinate hiatus, he was awesome when he toured with them a few years back. The previous comments are comical about JA hanging it up when I read so many comments about Further killing it with their 70 year old bass player rehashing tired ass grateful dead tunes from 40+ years ago. Phil Lesh/Dead are legends but so are Jane's Addiction and there are millions of people who agree with me-just sayin.
NIN/JA was awesome last summer. Jane's was on fire!
Sorry to see Eric go, his sound was great foil to Novarro's spacey solos. He will be missed.
I hope Jane's keeps rockin' it, I like the Flea idea too.
No need to compare Phil Lesh to some guy I've never heard of, just sayin'.
Thanks for the laugh rightback420-You have never heard of Eric Avery, the original bassist for Jane' Addiction, eventhough this is a comment board for a news story ABOUT Eric Avery, original bassist for Jane's Addiction LOL. Actually Phil Lesh seems like a wonderful person, terrific musician and has contributed alot of joy to countless amount of people. It is just too easy to take a swipe at a bunch AARP nostalgia rockers. I know Phil Lesh is probably one of the hippest 70 year guys you could ever have the pleasure of meeting. I read a cool story about how Phil brought Jackie Green into the Dead Phamily-after hearing a song by Jackie on the radio, he tracked down the disc, liked it-sent a note to Jackie about digging his music, extended an invite to jam and before you know it Jackie is sharing the stage and traveling the world as a member of Phil and Phriends-what a dream and props to Phil for making it happen.
hahaha PHIL LESH IS BETTER THEN THIS CLOWN AT 70, AND LETS GET FUCKIN REAL I WAS AT JONES BEACH FOR JANE'S LAST YEAR AND THE PLACE WAS FUCKING EMPTY, ID SAY HALF THE PLACE WAS GONE AFTER NIN, THESE GUYS HAVEN'T BEEN GOOD SINCE 1991, AND PHIL LESH HAS BEEN PLAYING NON STOP THE WHOLE TIME ( EVEN THRU A KIDNEY TRANSPLANT). SO LETS BE FUCKING REAL, AVERY WISHES HE WAS HALF THE BASSIST PHIL LESH IS, AND IF YOU ASK AVERY WHO HIS BASS HERO IS, GUESS WHO??? PHIL FUCKING LESH.
Phil had a liver transplant, retardguy
Avery has plenty of talent, and Jane's kicks ass. end of story
My bass player can kick your bass players ass.
I saw Jane's in '97 w/ Flea on bass. Does that not count as a reunion? Saw them in 2003 too and that wasn't w/ Avery either. Another hiccup in jambase's info I guess.

Well if you don't like the Metro UI, there's a nice alternative called windows 7. Since Windows 7 is basically 8 without the start screen, you'd be saving yourself the hassle of using software like ClassicShell to remove something you don't use.
Well I don't like the Metro theme. And I would rather disable it like I did on Windows 8 Developers Preview. But you can't do that in Windows 8 CP or on Windows 8 RP.
And what about search Companion from Windows XP? Like these pictures taken from my Windows XP. Why did they remove it from Windows Vista,Windows 7 and Windows 8. I like search Companion and although Agent Ransack does the same thing. I have not been able to find any software that can bring back the animated characters on Windows 7 that you have on Windows XP.You know the animated dog,Merlin the magician, Courtney and the others. Andrea Borman.
As for the animated search companions-they served no extra purpose, other than being a decoration to that sidebar. If you're searching for a file, you won't be looking at the "companions". Rather you'd be focusing on inputting the correct data, so the right results show up.
I guess I just did.
Do we even need to answer this?

not garage...basement problem
Making my brewery in the basement, I had to paint the bare block walls. There was some efflorescence which I wire brushed off and used Zinsser watertite paint. 3 coats. Guaran damn teed to stop water. well, some spots are blistering and the efflorescence if forming on the surface of the paint
Under the front porch, which is concrete, is another problem. The main foundation is block and in great shape. the foot above that is brick and in fair shape, but above ground. The same paint is peeling off all this, the brick is full of frost and the ceiling (poured concrete exposed to the air outside) has icicles.
Now, I can put some foam board or something up with glue, but I'm concerned it won't stop the water problem.
Thoughts? 1" foam board enough to insulate it and stop this?
The efflorescence in the main room of the brewery isn't that big of a deal I spose. mostly cosmetic. But the condensation/water leaks in the other room are a problem.

Efflorescense, lots to do with compromised drainage around the foundation causing hydrostatic pressure. Sister did not really believe me, that is until the drains plugged and flooded the basement.
A few (lots) $$$$$ later and repaired perimeter drains and property drains, proper gutter drains extensions and no more efflorescense.

99% of all basement water problems start on the roof. Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clean. Also very important, make sure your downspout outlets are piped at least 20' away from the house.
Not. Kidding.
Unless you're going through a wet period of weather, it will take the ground about 2 weeks to dry out. Only after this time will the walls dry out, and you'll be able to properly coat the walls.
Also make sure your grading around the house is all sloping away. Any surface drainage that comes up to the house will run right down the foundation will dampen the basement.
The other 1% possibility is that you have a natural water seep near your basement. Short of digging it up (good luck with that) and piping it away, that's a tough problem.

there's alway digging around the house's perimeter and installing a french drain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_drain sloped away, or if that's not possible, then into a well and then pumped to someplace you don't mind being wet...but contrary to what the mfg says-you can't paint your way outa this sorta problem

Good ressource there on drainage and controlling efflorescence:
Maybe too late you already painted but there are some products that claim to seal concrete and prevent efflorescence. I did a lot of searches on that for my sister, I don't think any of them will work if there are drainage problems so they are just that....claims.
Last house I rented sure had lots of that efflorescence....no wonder we were in an old gully/ravine. A few days of west coast rain and many of the neighbors were pumping. Only thing that saved us from that was the fact the main storm drain ran through our backyard and there was a grill there right into the storm drain.
I had never seen my sister's house when I diagnosed her problem. Only took a couple pics from here to see some of the problems. Too bad she did not believe me, sure got costly.
A cheap way to relieve some of them problems can be a sump pump installed lower than the slab, all depends. But I think most houses should have one of them anyway, that's a cheap "just in case" preventive measure that sure saved us a lot of aggravation at my dad's house when the old city drains would back up.

I have graded around 1/2 the house. Not possible elsewhere. The driveway butts up against the house, so in any sort of rain/melt water will run down the foundation. Not always a lot, but it's definitely there. The joint of the front and back porches also are surrounded by concrete, allowing water down there as well. This is especially troublesome at the back porch because two expansion joints in the concrete meet up at a corner of the porch and someone ran into it knocking the bottom blocks slightly askew. This allows water to come into the laundry room. I have some hydraulic cement to patch it on the inside, but it will still allow water to go somewhere
I have seen a flexible joint sealant that may take care of the joints around the porches. Everything I have tried so far failed after a short time.
There is a sump pump that had to be installed before I could buy the house and the pit does get water, so it works pretty well.
I will put a longer downspout on one corner of the house to drain farther down the hill. But I may have to elevate that a couple feet off the ground to get the slope right.
Most of these issues wouldnt even come up if the builder hadn't put rooms under the porches. On the upside, during winter ice isnt a problem on the porches.
Perhaps when daylight comes I will take a couple pics. It's kind of a weird setup.

I have "fixed" some of them joints filling them with expansion foam and topped that with good caulk. I hope it lasted for my friend.....I should go revisit him. He did not really have a choice for some reason there was a huge recess under the "gap" we would have had to put a lot of concrete in there if just to fill the void space.
Gutter extenders...some of mine at home are high up and tied to the trees. I should plant some posts someday. But that was a big part of the problem at my sister's place, huge roof dumping within a couple feet of the foundation.
After her "flood" she had to bring in the mini excavator, dig down to the perimeter drains and then they sent a camera in and found the blockage. Lucky for her it was away from the house and an easy fix.Rural property....all goes into the ditch. Also gave her a chance to inspect the foundation if just to see if the builder had sealed it when they put it under that very old house sometime in the 80s.It was sealed and good for her, redoing that can be very expensive.
At first and before the "flood" she installed a dehumidifier in the basement to help control the efflorescence. It helped or so she says but then all things broke loose a few months later.
In itself I don't think the efflorescence would harm the "brew", one of my friends also has a basement full of it altogeter with a lot of fermenting wines and they are always good, even right out of the carboys.

Treat the cause, not the symptom. Get rid of the water before it gets to the foundation. In places where you have a slab you may be able to add some type of curb to direct the water away prior to the foundation wall.
Show us some pictures when you get a chance.

Crappy pictures - cuz that's the only kind I take
back porch
The dark spot is where I kicked leaves aside, but you can see the brick that raises the step above the driveway, and how water will run down the expansion joints to that point, infiltrating the laundry room due to the step being slightly askew below ground level
Front porch area
The area of the block wall in the basement that is directly under the window is the spot showing some efflorescence. The rest of the area seems ok so far, but I'm sure it will gradually spread.
The porch, and the brick on the side of the porch, gets frosty and icicles. That may not happen as much if the door to that room wasn't closed (room is same dimension as the porch) but since so much cold comes in from that room the door stays shut.
rear driveway downspout
That reminds me, it's almost spring cleaning time
The concrete that butts up to the house was repoured before I moved in and has a reasonable grade away from the building.. That area of the basement sees water mostly when the downspout falls off. After moving in I ran into problems with water coming out of the wood hatch block (alum cover in front of the brown door), since it is 2' below the slab. I put a rim around the hole, and used hydraulic cement to line the hole and that solved that problem.
Room under the porch
All this was bare, wirebrushed and painted with the 'waterproof' paint 3 coats. Problem spots in the brick above the block were filled in with mortar.
I can't really build up the front corner of the house to insulate the brick due to the gas meter. I could dig it out some and add insulation on the outside up to the poured part of the porch if I could find something that looked ok with the house brick, then use 2" foam board or something inside.
While I like the idea of cool storage inside for brewing ingredients, if I had to I could put a louvered door in to allow some air in/out.

As for the concrete pads, wait until the next rain and look where the water runs. If it's all running back to the house, then that's a problem. But, it's not unsolvable. You may have to rent a concrete saw, or buy a cheapo circular saw, with a bunch of masonry blades. You'll tear a circular saw up pretty bad doing this job, so buy one to sacrifice and chalk it up to the cost of the job.
What you'll need to do is install a water drainage channel.
I had this one put in when my driveway was poured last fall.
See what the snowmelt isn't doing? Not getting to my house, that's what. My previous garage was built too low, and the driveway sloped toward it. Every time it rained, I'd get 3" of standing water in the garage.
So, I tore that POS down, and built a new one, the right way.
I've dealt with enough water issues. They can cause a lot more than just damp basement walls. They can grow mold in your house, and make the whole place feel damp and chilly. The water will also deteriorate your block given enough time. My last basement was in a 50 year old house, and the efflorescence over all that time was causing the block to deteriorate. I stopped it, but the walls weren't looking exactly fresh is spots. It takes decades, but the water will eventually destroy your foundation walls.
Since your walls are damp, I'm guessing your place was built in the early '60s or earlier. After that period, builders would typically coat the foundation with tar, and that helps a ton with keeping things dry.

Downspouts will get reformed this weekend. They tend to get crushed a lot, especially the front one, when backing up my trailer. 7'ish wide driveway.
I like the idea of the trough, but dont really have a place to go with it. Especially odd with the concrete joints meeting at the step and being a little low.
The neighbors house is 2' from my driveway, and to run it down back is another 120' of driveway. Lot is 40x200, and after the garage is a fairly steep driveway down to the shed.
When all is dry I will blow out the joints and pour some epoxy down there. Otherwise mudjacking or replacing the slab is probably the only permanent solution.
For the joints by the garage and farther down though, I think adding trough instead of the expansion joints might keep the material from washing away under the slab. And I know a guy with a gas powered concrete saw

You know that you can get "recoiling" downspouts. Don't know how well they work but you wouldn't keep mashing the Aluminium.
Looks like lots of choices on Amazon on a quick search:
Mine at home are all made out of PVC water pipe from the gutters down and that includes the extenders. The white stuff and painted to match the house. The back porch ones don't even go to ground, straight off the gutters to the conveniently placed cherry trees.
When the gutters plug up from the leaves and they do that consistently here I have to clean them twice a year, amazing how much the splashback from the rain water hitting the ground wets the sides of the house. 3-4 feet up in heavy rain and then all drains down the walls where it shouldn't really go.
Nothing as scary as that house I looked at yesterday, concrete block foundation from the 60s,no gutters and slabs abutting the foundation with little drainage and part of the basement used as a grow-op until the tenant got kicked out. Molds Eh! Ouch....!

analysisBy Mercilene Machisa
Gaborone — Gender Based Violence (GBV) continues to be one of the foremost concerns in the struggle to achieve gender equality in the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
The findings of a comparative research conducted between 2010 and 2011 in Botswana titled The Gender Based Violence Indicators Study Botswana reveal high prevalence of GBV in that country. One wonders, whether governments in SADC are committed to addressing the problem.
The study aimed to provide baseline data on the GBV extent, effect, response, support and prevention efforts in Botswana and calls for a state of emergency to be declared in a nation that envisions "A safe and secure nation by 2016". In its Vision 2016 strategy, Botswana commits to the elimination of the violation of physical well-being and human rights.
Over two-thirds (67.3%) of 639 women who participated in the nationwide survey conducted by Gender Links (GL) in partnership with the Women's Affairs Department (WAD) in Botswana have experienced violence perpetrated by men in their life time. Forty four percent of 590 men who participated in the survey admitted to perpetrating some form of violence against women. In total, 29% of women in Botswana experienced violence perpetrated by men in 2011 alone.
The prevalence of self-reported GBV for instance in the 12 months before the survey (28.9%) is 24 times higher than that reported to police (1.2%) in the same period. The prevalence of non-partner sexual violence in the survey is 17 times more than that reported to police in 2011. These findings and more, provide further evidence to the underreporting of GBV by survivors and on the shortcomings of police data in informing the extent of GBV in any society.
Responding to the research report, the Minister of Labour and Home Affairs in Botswana Honourable Edwin Jenamiso Batshu said the findings are "shocking" and that "there is a crisis of confidence" in which "women were not enjoying the full benefit of the very systems that offer them redress."
Similar studies have been undertaken in, South Africa (Gauteng, Kwazulu Natal and Western Cape provinces) and Mauritius. Overall, GBV prevalence reported in the Botswana survey is significantly higher (67%) compared to Gauteng (51%). The forms of GBV contributing to the significantly higher prevalence include intimate partner violence (IPV) in particular economic violence and sexual harassment which is higher in Botswana than in the other sites.
While a higher proportion of men admitted perpetration in Gauteng and Kwazulu Natal than women reporting GBV experience, in Botswana; Western Cape; and Mauritius, a higher proportion of women reported experience compared to the proportion of men who admitted to perpetrating violence. The disjuncture between experience and perpetration is difficult to interpret but may indicate that although men are perpetrating GBV in Botswana, Western Cape and Mauritius they realise that it is socially unacceptable and hence will not openly disclose it. In contrast the Gauteng and Kwazulu Natal men are confident to disclose it because they perceive violence against women to be what defines a "real man" and men's ability to control women.
In all the research study sites, GBV is rooted in patriarchal social norms that legitimise violence as a means of controlling women, the notion of wife ownership and sexual entitlement. Botswana stands out on the issue of predominant assertions on sexual entitlement following marriage because its constitution does not criminalise marital rape. Although 54% of women and 49% of men participating in the Botswana survey agreed that it is possible for a husband to rape his wife, married women in Botswana have no legal recourse for marital rape. Further evidence to this is the lower reporting of marital rape to police in 2011.
Apart from categorising data as sexual violence, the Botswana police must be commended for also categorising reported GBV cases into the other forms namely physical, economic, emotional, verbal and spiritual. These forms are further categorised into partner and non-partner violence. This disaggregation of GBV data by the Botswana police is an international good practice and should be shared with other policing authorities in the region.
On the other hand, South African Police Services (SAPS) and Mauritius Police are currently unable to inform on the extent of the listed forms of GBV. However, following the Gauteng research, SAPS committed to introducing the relationship tick box to bridge the gap in measuring the extent of the GBV problem. In all the three countries, domestic violence data from the police and service providers is not widely disseminated to stakeholders and decision makers.
Although the Botswana Domestic Violence Act of 2008 specifies that government should provide protection facilities, it has not allocated resources for this. There are only two civil society run shelters for abused women in the whole country. In Mauritius there are three shelters and government funds one of these. In South Africa there are more government funded shelters but these are still disproportionate to the need on the ground.
The high prevalence of GBV in all study sites particularly in Botswana warrants a call for more concerted and multi sectoral efforts to address GBV. Prevention of GBV should be at the centre of all interventions.
Politicians in the region need to acknowledge GBV as a widespread social problem and champion the fight against GBV through addressing it in public speeches and allocating financial resources for programme implementation. The Botswana Government has invested financial resources for this baseline nationwide study and continual investments are necessary for periodic surveys using the same method to measure progress and effectiveness of efforts to arrest GBV.
