Monday Morning Water Cooler: Red-Hot Redskins Cruise To Victory Over Browns
12.17.2012 / Blog Posts Redskins
Andrew Walker
About six weeks ago, the Washington Redskins had hit their lowest point of the season, having lost to the then 2-5 Carolina Panthers 21-13 Nov. 4 at FedExField to fall to 3-6 on the season.
The Redskins were in last place in the NFC East and their chances of even sniffing a playoff spot had almost dwindled completely.
But five wins later – including Sunday's 38-21 win over the Cleveland Browns – Washington finds itself leading the NFC East Division, and at 8-6, controls its own destiny to make the postseason.
Though the final score of the Browns game ... Read More
Monday Morning Water Cooler: Redskins Will Way to 31-28 Overtime Win Over Ravens

Andrew Walker
If your fingernails are significantly shorter than they were at this time yesterday, then you're not alone.
The Washington Redskins overcame the adversity of both losing their starting quarterback to injury and an eight-point deficit late in Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens to pull off a 31-28 overtime win at FedExField. It was the Redskins' fourth straight win, and gives the team a 7-6 record on the year.
The Redskins seemed dead in the water late in the fourth quarter of yesterday's game, but quarterback Robert Griffin III and the Washington offense took the ... Read More
Morning Water Cooler: Redskins Knock off Giants 17-16

Andrew Walker
Washington Redskins fans, your team is officially red hot.
The Redskins used a strong second-half effort all around to defeat the visiting New York Giants, 17-16, last night in a nationally-televised, Monday Night Football battle at FedExField.
With the win, Washington moves to an even 6-6 on the year and has won three straight games – all against divisional opponents (Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and the Giants).
Last night's game was the perfect example of how letting a team stick around can come back to bite you in the end. The Giants – who lead the NFC East Division ... Read More
WOW Volunteers at the Tenth Annual Redskins Harvest Feast

Pam Erickson and Britni Capps, Operation Blessing
On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, WOW members joined over 200 volunteers to be a part of the 10th annual "Harvest Feast" community food distribution event, held at FedExField and hosted by the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation. On this day, the hearts of these incredible volunteers were paired with a laser-guided focus on helping their neighbors and the outcome was nothing short of incredible.
From early in the morning until sunset, volunteers and staff members from the Washington Redskins & Operation Blessing worked tirelessly to bag holiday groceries for 3,500 families in Prince ... Read More
Monday Morning Water Cooler: Redskins Stuff Cowboys For 38-31 Thanksgiving Win
11.26.2012 / Blog Posts Redskins
Andrew Walker
The Washington Redskins gave their fans plenty for which to be thankful over the past few days.
Washington went into Dallas on Thursday and defeated its rival Cowboys 38-31 in a nationally-televised, Thanksgiving Day game. It was the second straight win for the Redskins (5-6), who are still in the hunt for a playoff spot as the season winds down.
The first half of Thursday's game against the Cowboys (5-6) couldn't have gone much better. Dallas turned the ball over two times – a lost fumble and an interception – and the Washington offense was clicking on all ... Read More
Monday Morning Water Cooler: Redskins Beat Up The Eagles, Win 31-6
11.19.2012 / Blog Posts Redskins
Andrew Walker
If you were waiting for that one game in which your Washington Redskins had an all-around, solid effort from its offense, defense and special teams, then your patience paid off yesterday.
The Redskins dominated the visiting Philadelphia Eagles, and won 31-6 in front of an energetic FedExField crowd.
One of the many high points of yesterday's win was the play of the Redskins' defense, which has certainly had its ups and downs this season. Against the Eagles, however, the Redskins allowed just 251 yards, including a season-low 177 yards passing to rookie quarterback Nick Foles, who was ... Read More

Around The Water Cooler: Redskins Lose To Panthers, 21-13
The Washington Redskins had a spirited Homecoming Weekend with more than 150 alumni in attendance for their game yesterday against the Carolina Panthers.
But the Redskins couldn't find the offensive or defensive consistency they needed in the game, and lost 21-13 in front of 79,767 fans at FedExField.
It was certainly a frustrating day for the Redskins, who, at many points in the game, outplayed the Panthers (2-6) — and certainly on offense. But ultimately, a lack of execution — as well as several drive-killing penalties — was too much ... Read More
Monday Morning Water Cooler: Redskins Lose To Steelers, 27-12

Andrew Walker
Yesterday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was just one of those occasions where not much went right for your Washington Redskins.
The defense struggled to stop both the run and the pass, while the offense had a tough time simply catching the football and making the plays it needed to keep up with the quick-paced Pittsburgh offense. The result was a 27-12 Redskins loss at Heinz Field.
The Redskins' three scoring drives ended in two field goals and a touchdown. The touchdown drive featured a gutsy play call on fourth down that was two yards from the ... Read More

Around The Water Cooler: Redskins Lose To Giants, 27-23
The Washington Redskins yesterday were one minute and 13 seconds away from escaping with a thrilling, last-minute win over the defending Super Bowl champions. But New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning had other plans, and his 77-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Victor Cruz provided the dagger in the Redskins' 27-23 loss to the Giants in front of 81,352 fans at MetLife Stadium.
Had it not been for Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III's heroics just more than one minute prior to that Giants touchdown, however, Washington would've ... Read More

A few critics of Mitt Romney and Mormonism have tried to raise the issue — very much in the way anti-Catholics did regarding John F. Kennedy and the Vatican — of whether Mr. Romney's first loyalty would be to the U.S. Constitution, his country, and its people, or to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The insinuation that, in principle at least, he can't be trusted to be a loyal American hasn't gotten much traction, as far as I can see. For one thing, many Americans know one or more Latter-day Saints, and it's difficult, I suspect, for them to picture us as dangerous fifth-columnists. For another, we have too long and significant history of service not only in the private sector of the American economy and in academia and the professions but in the military, various government agencies, the judiciary, the president's cabinet, and elected political office (including the current majority leader of the U.S. Senate) for such a suggestion to be plausible.
There is no historical justification for expecting the Church to try to control an American president. Church leadership has a long track record, and it seems to me that the citizens of the Republic can surely rest safely in their beds at night, unconcerned about the prospect of an imminent Mormon theocracy.
In other words, the question of whether Mormons are and can be loyal citizens of the United States has already been answered, and can easily be answered: Yes. Obviously.
That said, though, a more fundamental question remains: Is a Mormon's most fundamental loyalty to his or her government, or to his or her God?
From my point of view, the answer is clear: My most fundamental loyalty is to God.
Now, I know that this will be seen by some as inflammatory and dangerous. Let me briefly suggest — a lengthy treatise could be written on this topic, but I don't have the time for it right now — why I think it should not be seen that way, and, indeed, why I would see the opposite answer as being explosive and highly dangerous.
"Our Country!" the American naval hero Stephen Decatur said in an 1820 toast, "In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right, but right or wrong, our country!"
This sentiment is often shortened simply to "My country, right or wrong!"
And it makes me profoundly uncomfortable. If there is, even in principle, no higher standard of justice or goodness to which one's country should be held to account, then anything one's country demands or ordains must be accepted — even if it be the enslaving of millions or their deportation to extermination camps.
This, from my point of view, would be an immoral position, and tantamount to idolatry.
I don't suggest rebellion against one's nation over every policy difference. Not even over most very serious policy differences. And I don't believe that even soldiers should subject each order from a superior officer to debate and deliberation.
Quite the contrary.
Insubordination, refusal to obey military orders from a legitimately appointed superior officer, should be an absolutely last resort.
But it should, in principle, be a resort, an option:
If you somehow awakened in 1944, for example, and found yourself a member of the Waffen SS in the mountainous area south of Bologna, you would, in my view, be morally obligated to rebel against SS-Sturmbannführer Walter Reder's order to systematically murder citizens in and around the village of Marzabotto as a reprisal for recent partisan activity.
But if you recognized no moral authority higher than your government, what basis would you have even for criticizing Reder's order? He was legitimately appointed.
(Somewhere between 800 and 1900 civilians were ultimately murdered at Reder's command, many of them children.)
If you don't recognize a moral authority higher than your government, on what grounds could you object to the tyranny of Pol Pot, or Fascism, or the Bolsheviks? On what basis, really, can you object on moral grounds to any law, once it's been legitimately passed?
You might respond that you would choose your country over your government, the will of the people over the diktat of an authoritarian dictator.
But what if the will of a popular majority supports evil? On what basis could you object? On what basis, lacking a moral standard or a moral loyalty external to and superior to the will of the majority, could you even call it "evil"?
It's not absolutely clear to me that Hitler lacked majority popular support, at least at certain points during his reign. Slavery seems to have had substantial popular support within the borders of the Confederacy. Mussolini was, at least at first, a very popular fellow.
So, yes, I regard my religious faith — or, another way of describing it, my fundamental worldview and moral principles, my most deeply-rooted commitments — as more basic, even, than my loyalty to my nation.
In this, I believe that I'm in harmony with the earliest Christians, who would not, because they could not, offer sacrifices to Caesar as a to a god. They could pray for him, and, mostly, obey him. But they could not grant him ultimate loyalty. When the chief priests, according to John 19:15, in their zeal to accomplish the death of Jesus, tell Pontius Pilate "We have no king but Caesar," they are in flagrant apostasy (which, in Greek, means "rebellion") against their true and ultimate king.
Indeed, it's because of my fundamental worldview and moral principles, far more than mere accident of birth (which could just as easily have placed me in ancient Assyria or among the Vikings or the Golden Horde) that I am loyal to the United States, which, among historical nation-states, I believe to have a uniquely (though far from perfectly) moral claim on my loyalty.
Still, though I don't expect it, I can conceive of situations in which my moral principles and my commitment to my nation would diverge and would oblige me to choose between them.
I much prefer Carl Schurz's reformulation of the Stephen Decatur toast: "My country, right or wrong. If right, to be kept right; if wrong, to be set right."
However, at some imaginable though enormously unlikely point, even Schurz's revision, in my view, could become inadequate.

Over the weekend I had family and friends visiting and decided to do a 3 day trip to DLR. In the past they enjoyed getting on ride prints. Normally a 5x7 which I believe was 14.95 with a digital download. Last time I got a photo was probably 5 months ago so this change may not be new. This time around you can't just get a 5x7 print, you have to get a 5x7 with 4 wallets and the digital download, all for 18.95.
Why would you need wallet size for an on ride photo? Who uses wallet photos anymore? Okay maybe for school photos. On top of that you have to cut the photos yourself!
Ugh Disney...why?
While at DCA I used the free photo with my Disney Chase card and it came in just a 5x7.

A bizarre and somewhat inbred forum. Not sure just yet how I feel about being included in such a group but... very true and (I think) very funny.
I know exactly how it feels to say the wrong thing and to have a howling mob descend on you complete with torches and pitchforks. Fortunately for me, defending my every word is second nature to me. (see above post)
I take breaks here and there but always come back in spite of the dysfunction. Or perhaps because of it.
As far as the "brown shirt rumor"? I know how and where it got started but I'd rather not say. I could also speculate as to what it might be about. But I won't. It doesn't matter. People can say they are anyone or anything on the internet and I don't really care either. Shrinks?...ah never mind. And then there's Softy.
All I can say to that is ... oy.
So. I don't know if this has helped ArkaSox any or not. I hope he decides to sign in to the B o o b y Hatch (see James Thurber) and join the fun. If not, who could blame him? I do hope that some of our long time members will keep this thread going as a reminder that we were once new here wondering how we were going to survive among such rabid jackals and asking ourselves if it would be worth the trouble.
On that happy note - until we meet...

Despite towering over referee David Jones and having 30+ years on him, Toronto Raptors forward Amir Johnson lost their little game of tug of war Monday night. Following a made free throw from Trailblazers forward J.J. Hickson, Jones grabbed the ball after it hit the floor. For some reason, Johnson felt like he needed to caress the ball, so tried to grab it from the official. I understand players feeling the need to touch the game ball before the opening tip, but with 5:01 left in the third quarter and after taking six shots and grabbing four rebounds, the need to feel up the ball should have subsided. Nevertheless, Johnson and Jones got into a little tug of war which Johnson won (for a moment) as Jones started to walk away. But the 18-year official came back with the hammer – giving Johnson an early exit to the showers. Johnson said afterwards, "I guess the ref didn't let me have the ball so we kind of got into a tug of war. No words were really said and he rejected me out of the game and I kind of lost my cool from there." Rejected out of the game, huh? I guess that gave him reason to toss his mouth guard at Jones, which Johnson later admitted was "childish." Here's video:

The Celtics have traded guards Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks to the Golden State Warriors in a three-team deal that will send Toney Douglas to the Miami Heat and Joel Anthony and two draft picks to Boston.
Crawford became expendable with the expected return of Rajon Rondo, perhaps as early as Friday. Crawford was having a career season, averaging 13.7 points and 5.7 assists in 39 games.
The Celtics on Wednesday assigned Rondo to the Maine Red Claws of the D-League so he can take part in a workout. The 27-year-old All-Star point guard has yet to play this season as he works his way back from a torn ACL.
"Rajon is progressing terrifically in his rehab and this is the next step," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said in a statement. "This is a brief assignment so that Rajon can participate in a workout this afternoon with the Red Claws and he will be called back up to the Celtics upon the conclusion of the workout."
The Celtics get the seldom-used 6-foot-9 Anthony and the two draft picks: a second-rounder and a protected first-round pick acquired initially from Philadelphia that could become a second-rounder.
"This was very, very, very, very hard," Heat president Pat Riley said of trading Anthony. "He was the last center that I coached, I remember in 2008. He helped us win two championships. He's part of the Heat family. We wish him nothing but the best."
Douglas was averaging 3.7 points in 24 games for Golden State.
"Toney Douglas has always been on our radar ever since the New York Knicks drafted him," Riley said. "He's always been on our mind a little bit. This will be a great opportunity for him. You don't know what's going to happen in the future, but we have six weeks to keep trying to figure that out."
The trade will save the Heat $6.4 million in luxury taxes and remaining salary this season and frees them on the $3.8 million they owed Anthony for next season. Depending on the Heat's salary situation for next season, the deal could end up saving the team more than $15 million in salary and luxury taxes for a player who played just 37 minutes this season.
The Heat are sending the Celtics a 76ers first-round pick that is lottery protected for the next two years, that will turn into two second-round picks if not conveyed. The Heat are also sending their own 2016 second-round pick to Boston.
"This really is about flexibility more than anything else. In today's game, with the punitive nature of a team that's trying to win and trying to sign players to win, it's changed the landscape in how you think," Riley said. "I mean, 10 years ago, if you wanted to waive a player, you'd waive a player. You have to give that some thought now, especially if your team is $20 million over the tax. But this was not a money move.
"This was not a money move. This is a flexibility move. We've been I think a pretty good team over the years trying to find players midseason to try to help you possibly down the stretch. We'll see how this goes."
The Celtics add to their pile of draft picks and give up a couple of guys who were not going to be re-signed after the season. The trickle-down effect means more playing time for newly acquired Jerryd Bayless and backup point guard Phil Pressey.

TOTAL TIME: 1 hr
Pulse shrimp in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl, then stir in water chestnuts, egg white, pork fat, rice wine, ginger, scallion, salt, and cornstarch. Beat shrimp mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon and throw it against side of bowl until combined well and compacted. Wet your hands with cold water and form teaspoons of shrimp mixture into balls, arranging in 1 layer on a wax-paper–lined tray. Coat balls, 1 at a time, in panko, then arrange in 1 layer on another wax-paper–lined tray.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Heat oil in a 5-quart pot until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F and fry balls in 4 batches, turning, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until golden and just cooked through. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.) Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. When all shrimp balls are fried, reheat on a rack set in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven until just hot, about 2 minutes.
Cooks' note: Shrimp balls may be coated and fried 1 day ahead, cooled completely, then chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before reheating.

[b]5 reasons to buy:
1. Monster bandwidth for high performance with AA/AF
-except with anything above 4x AA and I always play above 4x.
2. High clockspeed and fillrate for fast raw performance
Who plays without AA/AF?
3. Games potentially optimized for Nvidia; guaranteed
compatibility; tuned for Doom3 engine
Yes... we know all the 'optimisations' they include.
4. Strong OpenGL and professional application performance
In that case why are nV wasting money on their Quadro line?
Why is it also that my 9700 Pro seems to get higher framerate with 6xAA than the NV35 at 6xAA in any OpenGL app that is new?
5. AF quality (application setting only) and FP32 support
Which I can't stress that nV's AF only is so good, I spent some time having to configure the LOD to get rid of the blur at a distance, it's either too blurry or too much texture shimmering.
5 reasons not to buy:
1. Price too high; games that will use some of its advanced features are still many months away, at which time the price may be lower, and newer, faster cards may be out (R360)
The price is never too high if you want the best raw performance.
2. Slow shader speed in DX9; uncertain performance for future DX9 titles
Why would you even consider using current generation cards for future DX9 titles?
3. Poor AA quality and speed (the good AA modes like 4xS are too slow overall)
I just drop the resolution to 800x600 or 640x480 to make it playable.
4. It gets beat by the 9700Pro in some games and synthetic benchmarks!
Who plays synthetic tests? What were the settings of those specific games?
5. Lower overall image quality (further reduced by the possibility of Nvidia app-specific optimizations to gain speed)
Those are only on synthetic tests and maybe some most popular games. I don't play popular games.
I would buy the 9700 (NP or Pro) and save the cost difference for an upgrade in fall/winter, when it's clear how all the cards stack up in the major games being released.
For more performance now, I'd get the 9800Pro, or possibly the 5900 regular (depending on how it compares in price/performance).
I would only get the 9700 Pro/9800 Pro for: Playing games with AA (IQ), I love the DVD IQ and fastest card available that is capable of doing 6xAA.

This season the Pittsburgh Steelers will play their first ever game in London, England. The game will be played at Wembley Stadium and they will be hosted by the Minnesota Vikings. The NFL has been playing games in London since 2007 and this year the black and gold get to represent themselves in London. Recently Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger took a visit to London. Roethlisberger visited London in an effort to promote the Steelers game that will be played there later this year. "It's something that is different and fun and guys are really looking forward to the game", Roethlisberger told the media. Big Ben and Big Ben also took a picture together. Roethlisberger posed for a picture with the giant clock that shares the same name as him. The picture has become very popular amongst fans. Roethlisberger also visited Ireland where he was with Dan Rooney, who is the former United States ambassador to Ireland along with being the Steelers' chairman. Roethlisberger was the official coin flipper for the Fourth of July flag football game that Rooney hosts. Another Steeler that is planning to travel to London is guard Ramon Foster. Foster will be promoting the game in London just as Big Ben did. Foster will also be joined by the likes of Vikings' defensive end, Jared Allen, Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive linemen Unche Nwaneri and San Francisco 49ers' safety, Donte Whitner. All these players' teams will be playing London this upcoming season. What will be interesting to see is how well represented Steeler Nation will be for the game in London. Steeler fans are some of the best when it comes to representing the team at away games. This away game is a bit further away than usual though. Giving London fans a chance to watch NFL games is a good idea but at the same time it's discouraging to fans here in the states because it does take away at least one potential home game for Steeler fans or Vikings fans. Though we should be able to sacrifice at least one game for fans in London, we Steelers fanatics love our team and would love another chance to attend a home game in our beloved steel city. However, the game must go on and it's set to be played September 29th. So what say you, Steeler Nation, are you packing your bags and heading to London to watch the black and gold?

The Joy Formidable delivered a blistering set at Summerfest last July Fourth. But something's changed since that hot summer night: The Welsh alternative rock trio's studio ambitions and accomplishments have outgrown its live capabilities.
The band returned to Milwaukee Tuesday to perform at a surprisingly spacious Turner Hall Ballroom. (Perhaps the Tuesday date turned people off? Or maybe the band's played the market too many times recently?) For Tuesday's 90-minute set, it had new material to share from its bold January album, "Wolf's Law."
It would have been foolish to expect full string sections or live harps at Turner to fill out the expansive sounds from "Wolf's Law." But even taking that into account, frontwoman and guitarist Ritzy Bryan, bassist Rhydian Dafydd and drummer Matt Thomas could do only so much to capture the grandeur and in-your-face intensity of the album they created. The guitars on "Cholla" just weren't as prickly, and live the buildup on "This Ladder Is Ours" was a letdown.
Still, the band was clearly having a blast and gave it a good go. And it succeeded at times in replicating the bite of the "Wolf's Law" recordings, from Dafydd's heart-racing bass lines on "Little Blimp" to the mighty guitar wallop on "Maw Maw Song." The new tracks fared best when the band broke free from the studio blueprint - Dafydd drew some extra tension from "Tendons" with an extended piano part, and the band actually enhanced the drama of the hidden title track with a prolonged, distortion-heavy climax.
But two songs from the band's 2011 debut album, "The Big Roar," remain the big showstoppers. "The Everchanging Spectrum of a Lie" was dizzying with its ever-accelerating cycles of guitars and drums. And its biggest single to date, "Whirring" (perhaps you recall the melody from the Lonely Island's "Y.O.L.O."), was a whirlwind of noise and energy, with Dafydd hoisting Bryan in his arms and spinning her around, and Bryan nonchalantly tossing her guitar and knocking over amplifiers. And with that song, the band displayed a type of energy and excitement the world's best studio engineers wouldn't be able to capture.
Of the two rock openers - Boston trio Ribs and '80s-influenced post-punk band Kitten - it was definitely the latter that made the bigger impression. Frontwoman Chloe Chaidez was definitely trying too hard to be edgy with her mesh top and whiplash-inducing hair tosses. But at 18, she had plenty of energy to spare, and no fear whatsoever - doing a handstand, jumping off an amplifier and even climbing a tower of speakers that reached up to the balcony. Oh, to be young.
The Takeaways
• The best moments of Tuesday night's concert were more like full-contact sports. Both Kitten's Chaidez and Formidable's Dafydd slapped drum cymbals with their bare hands. Chaidez actually hit guitarist Waylon Rector, 16, with a tambourine and her microphone, and Dafydd brushed up against Bryan before leaping into the crowd.
• Guitar picks and drum sticks - those are good, disposable giveaways at a rock concert. A single shoe, not so much. But in his excitement, Ribs bassist Blake Fusilier actually kicked his shoe off into the crowd. Fortunately for him, he did not leave Milwaukee with one bare foot; Fusilier could been seen in the back of Turner with shoes firmly tied on both feet.

This article was previously published under Q321070
On This Page
This step-by-step article describes how to reverse the changes that are made when you run either the Sysprep utility (Sysprep.exe) or the Riprep utility (Riprep.exe) on a host computer to prepare it for cloning. You may want to reverse the changes that Sysprep made to the host computer's registry so that the Mini-Setup Wizard does not run when you restart the computer. After you reverse the changes, the host computer is returned to the state it was in before you used Sysprep or Riprep.
You can use the 4 procedures that are described in this article if the Mini-Setup Wizard causes the original computer to stop responding (hang), which prevents Setup from completing. You can also use this procedure to troubleshoot the root cause of the issue that is preventing Sysprep from completing successfully. After you find the cause of the issue, you can run Sysprep or Riprep again.
You may also want to use this procedure if you accidentally run Sysprep or Riprep against a production computer but you do not want to change the Security IDs (SIDs) or any of the configurable options for which Mini-Setup Wizard prompts you to change when you restart the original computer.
If you run Sysprep or Riprep on a source computer, it changes the following registry values:
How to Rename the Current System HiveIf you want to prevent new SIDs from being assigned and the Mini-Setup Wizard from running, you must either modify the Windows XP registry to reset the values back to the original values, or you must rename and replace the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config\System file from the %SystemRoot%\Repair or the %SystemRoot%\Regback folder:
How to Copy the System Hive from the Repair Folder
How to Load and Edit the Renamed System HiveImportant This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ )How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
How to Rename the System Hive File to Its Original Name
TroubleshootingAfter you complete the procedures that are described in this article, the Windows configuration is returned to that state that it was in before you ran Sysprep or Riprep. However, if either "OemPnPDriversPath=" or "InstallFilesPath=" was specified in the Sysprep.inf file, you must remove the values that Sysprep added from the registry:

Free Software Trial Enables Chargeback and Cost Visibility for VMware
Date Added: Feb 2009
Format: Software
Traditional physical server chargeback models do not work in today's dynamic virtual server environments. VKernel Chargeback, a unique and patent-pending solution, delivers an affordable and simple-to-use tool that gives users immediate cost visibility of their VMware ESX data center ? "who is using what resources and how much it costs." VKernel Chargeback continually measures and meters actual shared resource consumption (CPU, memory, storage, network) of each virtual machine (VM) and allows you to apply additional fixed costs (hardware, software, infrastructure) to fairly charge departments only for the virtual server resources being used. With accurate Chargeback reports, you can effectively recover IT costs and justify financial decisions of future purchases.

You bet they did, says performer Gerri Gribi. Listen to a two-minute segment of a longer audio interview with Gerri where she discusses the role of music in suffrage activism. Gerri performs suffrage songs for audiences across the country during special programs and celebrations highlighting the suffrage movement and other occasions related to women's social and musical history. Songs were important in parades. At special teas and receptions it wasn't uncommon to have a woman performer either sing or play a musical instrument.

In short, while you do know your way around the programs like Photoshop to a certain extent, it takes you forever and there's absolutely no way you'd call yourself a graphic designer.

Getting students to create infographics and using them ourselves to present information are more than justifiable reasons for these kind of tools

Whatever replaces advertising (as we've known it)is also essential to the prosperity of these new journals. Is it justgoing to be whatever Google and Yahoo and Blogads do? No. It will beall that and much more. (Like, for example, a way to voluntarily pay --even a small amount, micropayment style) for subscriptons to RSS feeds,just like we voluntarily pay for public radio and TV broadcasts.
All that and much more? You bet. Voluntarily pay--not if I'm already getting all the podcasts I can eat.

Henderson HotelsHenderson may be somewhat overshadowed by the glaring lights of its neighbor, Las Vegas, but after enjoying the clatter of coins in its casinos, the smooth putting on its carpet-like greens, and the beauty of its outdoor Shakespeare productions, you're sure to leave feeling like you've hit the jackpot. The city's privileged location means it's just as easy to get to Las Vegas's glittering Strip as it is to explore the concrete juggernaut of Hoover Dam – where you can also power jet boats across the sprawling Lake Mead.Things to seeLake Mead, and the visitor's center at Hoover Dam, are just 30 minutes' drive away, but don't rush out before you've considered Lake Las Vegas - which is even closer to home. This lakeside village's cobblestone streets and open squares - populated by quaint art galleries and restaurants – gives it a breezy Mediterranean feel. Visit on a Saturday evening to enjoy live music floating over the water, as outdoor jazz concerts swing into life. More lakes, at Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve, give you chance to see hundreds of different bird species enjoying a respite from the dry desert. Spot American Avocets wading through the water, and roadrunners sprinting for shelter between the preserve's bushy shrubs. You'll want to try and avoid the water at Revere Golf Course, however, where 2 flush courses are overlooked by rolling red mountains and the flow of a tumbling waterfall. You'll need to bring your A-game to the tricky courses, but don't worry if you have an off day – the juicy steak, and seared salmon served in the clubhouse will quickly put a poor scorecard to the back of your mind.Hotels in HendersonWith cheaper hotels than Las Vegas, and a community feel to the place, a stay in Henderson is a refreshing alternative to Sin City. That's not to say you need to skimp on any extravagance and luxury, however. Henderson hotels can offer palm tree surrounded swimming pools, and impossibly comfy beds, which mold snugly to your body's form. Play your cards right while booking, and you can enjoy Vegas-style casino hotels, right here in Henderson. There's no substitute for the real Strip experience, however, which is why many of the hotels offer free shuttle bus services into the heart of Las Vegas each night. Even the cheapest Henderson hotels provide free WiFi, cable TV, and air conditioning, giving you a welcome break from the desert heat.Where to stayStay in the center of Henderson, close to the Waterstreet District, to eat salty oysters in quality restaurants, or practice your best poker face while joining the high rollers at the casinos. For a quieter evening, the Galaxy Theater is a great place to catch a movie. You'll have to fight to stay awake during the film, however, as beer and wine is served directly to the soft recliner seats. Another option is to stay close to the airport and Sunset Park. Wake with a gentle stroll past fountains, which fire umbrellas of water into the air, or a gentle jog around the park's shimmering lake.How to get to HendersonHenderson sits less than 15 miles from Las Vegas' McCarran International Airport, which offers flights from right across the world. Rent a car and drive over, or take the airport shuttle bus into the heart of the city. Greyhound busses also connect Las Vegas with Los Angeles in as little as 5 hours, giving you the chance to sit back and watch the barren desert scenery roll by, without having to worry about driving

The combination of C pointers (and ******), manual memory management with the stupid "who allocs, who frees?" bullshite, the backwards and confusing way arrays work, the subtle, evil difference between array x of * and pointer to pointer with the same shitty syntax to operate, typedefs, struct hacks, pointer type casts, pointer cast hacks, how part of the type information comes before the name and part comes after it, and other bullshit misfeatures make C one of the least appealing programming language to work with; no more than a portable macro assembler.
Then we add to it a completely useless, incomplete, inconsistent, insecure, ugly, rudimentary standard library that serves for little more than hello world and K&R examples, no binary-safe strings, no Unicode support, insanely shitty string management, no lists, no sets, no dictionaries, no syntax for neither string management, lists, sets or dictionaries, shitty macros with shitty features, shitty syntax and shitty unsafe behaviour, and the worst of all people of /prog, the lack of a fucking module system producing the ongoing malign megabytes-worthy include labyrinth-like hell yielding lame compilation times, added to the horrible compiler options for which you create eldritch makefiles, on top of which they usually have built a humongous, queer pile of madness in the form of one megabyte shell scripts; unimaginable abysses of insanity that check every time for features that were standard 36 years ago, generated with even more fabulous scripts of abhorrent grotesqueness and an obscure, sinister text-based macro language added to the party, based on definitions in yet another supplementary language probably assisted by dismal, unearthly utilities, all of this resulting in you contaminating your program with surreal, ghastly #ifdefs that make up the bulk of the lines of code.
All of this makes the C language the very worst programming language and environment I've ever had to risk my sanity on, and I lay here in my room, still terrified of the blasphemously abnormal evils imbued in this macabre ecosystem.

Researchers Find Major Keychain Vulnerability in iOS and OS X 78 78
An anonymous reader notes a report from El Reg on a major cross-app resource vulnerability in iOS and Mac OS X. Researchers say it's possible to break app sandboxes, bypass App Store security checks, and crack the Apple keychain. The researchers wrote, "specifically, we found that the inter-app interaction services, including the keychain and WebSocket on OS X and URL Scheme on OS X and iOS, can all be exploited by [malware] to steal such confidential information as the passwords for iCloud, email and bank, and the secret token of Evernote. Further, the design of the App sandbox on OS X was found to be vulnerable, exposing an app's private directory to the sandboxed malware that hijacks its Apple Bundle ID. As a result, sensitive user data, like the notes and user contacts under Evernote and photos under WeChat, have all been disclosed. Fundamentally, these problems are caused by the lack of app-to-app and app-to-OS authentications." Their full academic paper (PDF) is available online, as are a series of video demos. They withheld publication for six months at Apple's request, but haven't heard anything further about a fix.

Bandit is a 4.5 year old owner surrender that came to us on Nov. 22. His owner contacted us and said he had broken his leg again in the same spot by falling off a chair. He said his options were amputation (cheapest way to go) or euthanasia because the third option a plate was too expensive. SCBTR took him to an orthopedic specialist and on on Nov. 23, extensive surgery was performed on his shattered femur. Because the leg was so damaged and his bones so weak the surgeon didn't know if he would even be able to put the plate and pins in Bandit's legs. He was able to perform the operation and it was classified as "acceptable".
Bandit is now going into 4 weeks of confinement and physical therapy. He stays with Dr. Paula at Animal Ark Hospital during the week for physical therapy 3 times a day and gets a furlough to The Ferrells who are fostering this precious boy on the weekends. He is now using his leg and building up muscle in his shoulder. An x-ray will be taken in another three 1/2 weeks to determine if the surgery has worked or not. If he will be in pain from using his leg then amputation will need to take place.
He is a loving little guy and even with all he is going through, all he wants to do is lick your face and wiggle his little butt! Since coming into rescue all he wants to do is eat. He was grossly undernourished and full of worms. He has put on 4 lbs. already and will now go back to a regular feeding schedule so he doesn't become a pumpkin head!
Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated for precious Bandit to make a full recovery!

GNU is the only operating system developed specifically to give its users freedom. What is GNU, and what freedom is at stake?
What is GNU?
GNU is an operating system that is free software—that is, it respects users' freedom. The development of GNU made it possible to use a computer without software that would trample your freedom.
We recommend installable versions of GNU (more precisely, GNU/Linux distributions) which are entirely free software. More about GNU below.
What is the Free Software Movement?
The free software movement campaigns to win for the users of computing the freedom that comes from free software. Free software puts its users in control of their own computing. Non-free software puts its users under the power of the software's developer. See the video explanation.
What is Free Software?
Free software means the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software.
Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of "free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer".
More precisely, free software means users of a program have the four essential freedoms:
- The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
- The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits (freedom 3). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
Developments in technology and network use have made these freedoms even more important now than they were in 1983.
Nowadays the free software movement goes far beyond developing the GNU system. See the Free Software Foundation's web site for more about what we do, and a list of ways you can help.
More about GNU
GNU is a Unix-like operating system. That means it is a collection of many programs: applications, libraries, developer tools, even games. The development of GNU, started in January 1984, is known as the GNU Project. Many of the programs in GNU are released under the auspices of the GNU Project; those we call GNU packages.
The name "GNU" is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix." "GNU" is pronounced g'noo, as one syllable, like saying "grew" but replacing the r with n.
The program in a Unix-like system that allocates machine resources and talks to the hardware is called the "kernel". GNU is typically used with a kernel called Linux. This combination is the GNU/Linux operating system. GNU/Linux is used by millions, though many call it "Linux" by mistake.
GNU's own kernel, The Hurd, was started in 1990 (before Linux was started). Volunteers continue developing the Hurd because it is an interesting technical project.

GNU a2ps converts almost anything to a PostScript file, ready for printing. It accomplishes this by being able to delegate files to external handlers, such as Groff and Gzip. It handles as many steps as is necessary to produce a pretty-printed file. It also includes some extra abilities for special cases, such as pretty-printing --help output. (doc)

Bear & Son Knives
BUDK carries an extensive selection of Bear & Son butterfly knives. Each butterfly knife is hand crafted in the USA and made of high carbon steel. Their guaranteed to stay sharper longer than cheap stainless steels.
Balisong Knives
We are the No. 1 source for MADE IN THE USA Balisong knives! You won't find any cheap, fall-apart knives here. These Bear & Son Balisongs are built tough in Jacksonville, Alabama.
This was my first ever butterfly knife and i gotta say that i love it. Be careful not to drop it on a hard surface because u might break the point but other than that its a great knife.
I got this knife as a Christmas present from my father. it was a little hard to get used to, due to its shape and weight, and it was a little greased up, but after using it every day since then, I wouldn't trade this blade for the world. Its a good knife to get experience with if your getting into the art of flipping. Above all sharp blade and beautiful handles. As long as you know how to take care of a knife, itll last you a lifetime. LOVE IT
I own both models of this beauty. Unique blade design with ultra light weight feel. I love the heavy weight butterfly's but this is an EDC that'll impress fellow flippers! Takes a little getting used-weight and texture. I own 10 Bear and Son knives and will support their 88 person staff (Made in the USA!!!)for a lifetime!
This is an overall good training knife (that probably saved me a few fingers). My only complaint is that every so often one of the screws will fall out, but luckily I have the right size Alan wrench to put it back in.
I own a lot of balisong knives. I bought this knife about a year ago and it is probably my favorite. It's very bulky and masculine while most butterfly knives are sleek and almost feminine. you open it and it makes a terrifying sound just like a pump action shotgun. I was a little upset that it seemed like only one side of it was finished and while the handles will take a lot of abuse eventually the paint does start to chip off. but I love this knife its totally awesome
