The Rock Story
hehehe, well, we're supposed to do this for science. it's about the rock cycle....not complete yet though....
Terra was bored. There was no other way to say it. It was a rainy day and she had nothing to do. She called her friend Allie but now they were bored together.
"Nice rock." Allie commented as Terra pulled out her necklace because it was starting to hurt her neck. Her necklace was a rock attached to a chain, everytime she looked at it, she'd get fond memories of her father, that is before he died.
"I guess." She said trying to avoid conversation.
It seemed as if Allie had an idea, "I know! Let's make a story!"
"About what?"
Allie shrugged. "I don't know." She eyed Terra's rock necklace. "What about your rock? Could we make a story for that?"
Terra though it over as she watched her best friend waiting expectantly. "There was once a rock named Gaia." She began.
Allie smiled with encouragement. "Why Gaia? Why not Ash? I like Ash." She said. Terra sighed. "Ash then."
Allie picked up where Terra left off. "Ash was an igneous rock. He liked reading about volcanoes because he wanted to know where he was from. He kept looking because he was born far away from his mother."
"Mother?" Terra asked. "You mean like, the volcano is his mother?"
Allie nodded. "Yeah, he was blown far away. He was formed right beside his mother but he was blown away by a storm. So he doesn't know his mother and he wants to find her. Sounds familiar, Ter?"
Terra knew Allie was talking about herself. She lived with Terra and her mother as soon as her aunt died. They took her in as her own but Allie still spent time with her grandparents during some months. "Okay, Ash was blown away from his mother so he wants to find her. He reads different books all about the Rock artists. If you're going to ask." She interrupted Allie. "It's rocks who write books and make music and paints. Artists."
Allie smiled. "Ash had a friend. She was a sedimentary rock. Her name was Rosette. She was rose colored and lived next to the sea. That was where Ash lives. Ash loves to watch the ocean beat across the rock and smiled when he sees birds flying above him."
Terra was more fascinated in the story. "Rosette loved Ash, she wouldn't tell him though. She just helps him find his mother so he could be happy. Ash was always sad. He never had a day .....

Scott Skiles was asked if the Bucks had to resist the temptation to hit a "home run" in their potential playoff-clinching Game 6, which tips off within the hour at the Bradley Center.
"That's what was happening a little bit the other night (in Game 5)," Skiles said. "We had good intentions out there. But as the saying goes, 'The path to somewhere is paved with those.'
"We're never a selfish team, but if things don't go our way on occasion, we'll have some well-intentioned plays that are almost like that. We're trying to hit the home run instead of having a little more patience. With Bogues (Andrew Bogut) and young players playing, it's understandable that would happen."
Hawks coach Mike Woodson said his team paid dearly for missing a couple layups late in their 91-87 home-court loss on Wednesday, and also for not blocking out and allowing Ersan Ilyasova to grab some crucial offensive rebounds.
"Those are the things we've just got to clean up tonight," Woodson said. "It's more hustle plays; that's what wins playoff basketball games.
"We've got to take charges; we've got to do all the little things to win on the road. It's going to take that for 48 minutes to get it done."
The Hawks have lost 10 of 11 road playoff games during the past three seasons.
Skiles has used defensive stopper Luc Richard Mbah a Moute to full advantage in the series, with the second-year player taking turns against Hawks star guard Joe Johnson, power forward Josh Smith and even center Al Horford in the fourth quarter of Game 5.
"Some of the versatility we can have and the lineups we can put on the floor comes in large part because he can guard different people," Skiles said. "Nothing against any of our other guys, but John (Salmons) can guard 2s and 3s. And Luc can guard 2s, 3s and 4s, and the other night their 5,
"We're always confident he can go out there and do his best and he'll have a really good defensive position on somebody. They still may score, but he'll be in there slugging it out with somebody."
Skiles said he expects the Hawks to come out with great intensity to try to even the series.
"The main thing for us is I'm hoping we'll see early in the game, that we're playing really hard, we're trying to be disruptive of them but at the same time we've got a little poise and we're relaxed enough to move the ball offensively and execute.
"If that happens, that will be a very good sign for us."

Mark Shuttleworth: Plan, execute, DELIVER
We are a somewhat chaotic crowd, the software libre army. Thousands of projects (hundreds of thousands, if you consider Sourceforge as a reference point). Hundreds of thousands of contributing developers from virtually every country and timezone. We are a very loosely coupled bunch.
To a certain extent this loose coupling is beneficial. Work goes on in one part of the free software universe entirely oblivious to work elsewhere, despite the fact that both pieces of work will ultimately land up on an Ubuntu disk. Keeping everything orthogonal is very nice - very UNIX. It means that people don't have to keep too much in their heads. And that's worked well.
But sometimes I wish it were easier to keep track of changes and have a slightly clearer view of progress across that whole galaxy.

ALBUM: Kublai Khan – New Strength
November 27th, 2015
Release Date: November 27th 2015
Label: Artery Recordings
Website: www.kublaikhantx.com
Facebook: www.facebook.com/kublaikhantexoma
Twitter: www.twitter.com/kublaikhantx
If you like Biohazard and Hatebreed, then you're sure to like Texan outfit Kublai Khan, too. Possessing the gang vocal style of singing and the punk sensibilities, this is a band that will try to slot into this genre of music. Though, within saying that, there are times throughout their album 'New Strength', where the band sound like a blatant a rip-off of '90s hardcore.

Yet another new SchoolMature
"I don't wanna go" Ryan groaned as he heaved his backpack up onto his back. Dominic looked at him with a raised eyebrow which only resulted in Ryan giving him the puppy eyes. "Please can't I just be home schooled"
Dominic sighed heavily. "I have to work, Ry, you know that" he muttered handing Ryan his spare helmet. "Now, come on before you're truly late"
"Why can't we just get by on the money we got?" Ryan pleaded as the left through the shop front. He almost glared at his brother as he locked the door.
"Its not gonna last forever, Ry" Dominic replied slowly with a sigh. "Beside, maybe you'll get better grade than me and I'll be pleading off you"
As Dominic laughed his brother rolled his eyes. "As if. All you have to do is call that dude up and you'll be modelling in new york" Ryan said. Dominic stradled his bike and Ryan got on behind him.
"Ry, you do know looks aint everything right?"
"Yeah, yeah" Ryan said waving his hands before pulling his legs up and gripping the seat tightly. "I hate school"
Ryan loved studying but school? No, he hated it. He'd only recently conviced his brother to drop him round the corner on the first day so the questions about his brother wouldn't overwhelm him on the first day.
Although, but of course, someone had to see him. A girl with little blond curls about a year younger than Ryan came racing over. "Who was that guy on the motorbike?" she asks as she jumped in front of him. Ryan froze then forced his body to relax.
"My brother" Ryan slowly replied.
"Wow" she whispered. "Your brother hot"
Ryan sighed. He was once again defeated by his brother. Why did girls always like his brother and not him? "I know" Ryan grumbled.
"My name's Kati" she says holding out her hand. Ryan was shocked. Never once had they offered friendship after discovering his brother. She took the girls hand and shook it with a smile.
Kati smiled. "See you at lunch, Ryan" she whispered then raced off leaving Ryan himself completely dazed.

Salesforce to Buy Demandware in $2.8 Billion Transaction
That's one of the largest acquisitions for the cloud-computing software firm to date.
Paul Hamerman, Forrester Research VP, said the move will enable Salesforce to sell directly to e-commerce customers. As part of the deal, Salesforce will launch a tender offer for $75 a share for each Demandware share outstanding, which represents a 56% premium to Tuesday's closing price.
The e-commerce landscape just shifted with the announcement Salesforce will purchase Demandware for $2.8 billion. Salesforce.com has been the topic of 87 analyst reports since August 21, 2015 according to StockzIntelligence Inc. Before Wednesday, Demandware shares were down 11 percent for the year, while Salesforce had gained 7 percent. Revenues were primarily driven by growth across all its business segments and the Salesforce ExactTarget Marketing Cloud platform. Marketing Cloud posted $654.1 million in revenue during the 12 months ended January 31, growing 29% from the same period a year earlier. Revenue in the three months ended April 30 rose 27% to $1.92 billion.
Salesforce declined to comment on the performance of its acquisitions.
Salesforce seems to be making a solid investment.
Salesforce Commerce Cloud wants to transform the e-commerce and cloud platform to be an integral part of the company's success, creating opportunities for enterprises to connect and reach out to their valued customer in new and exciting ways. The Company offers consulting deployment training implementation and integration services to its customers to facilitate the adoption of its cloud solutions. Those include IBM Corp., Oracle Inc. and the hybris division of SAP. The company markets its cloud-based platform to multinational corporations, retailers and branded manufacturers in apparel and footwear, health and beauty, home and garden, sporting goods, general merchandise and other categories through its direct sales force and channel partners. Salesforce increased its revenue guidance, now saying it expects 2017 revenue of between $8.26 billion to $8.32 billion, up from $8.16 billion to $8.20 billion previously.
Salesforce paid $75 a share. The company had raised a mere $54 million when it was still a startup, mostly from only three investors, by the looks of it. The Wisconsin-based Winch Advisory Services Llc has invested 5.56% in the stock. This estimate reflects an approximately $50 million reduction relating to fair value adjustments to deferred revenue and unbilled deferred revenue, adjustments related to the combined customer base, and inter-company revenue elimination.

Heather Watson looks shyly into the camera and smiles. But then the sentences, hard as titanium, tumble out. "My ambition is to get to No1 in the world and win one of the grand slams," she says. "You have to be selfish to win. You can't be sympathetic to your opponent."
The interview, which Watson recently tweeted, is unusually forthright. It is also, remarkably, eight years old, having been recorded when she was just 12 and about to leave her parents' home to move to Nick Bollettieri's tennis academy in Florida.
Neither the passing of time, nor her victory in Osaka last Sunday – the first by a British player on the WTA tour for 24 years – has changed her. Watson remains jovial, steely, likeable and honest. When asked whether she was "pissed off" that Andy Murray chose Laura Robson as his mixed doubles partner for London 2012, even though she was higher rated and had just won a doubles title, she replies: "Honestly, yeah. I wanted to play. It was the Olympics. I think anyone in my position would have wanted that opportunity. But it was his decision. It's fine. They ended up with a silver medal. That's brilliant. They did it for the country."
Was she grumpy? "I was disappointed." Did you watch? "No," she says, laughing. "I was busy doing other things. It's made me stronger."
The statistics back Watson up. That WTA singles title in Japan. Four doubles finals in 2012, three of them after London 2012. And, for the first time, a place nestling in the world's top 50, two spots ahead of Robson, who is ranked 52nd. No wonder she is optimistic about the future. "I haven't thought about my goals for next year yet but I want to be inside the top 30 for sure," she says. "I definitely want to win more WTA titles – hopefully the higher premier level events – and to go deeper in the grand slams."
Watson has now packed her rackets away for the season, but two recent changes – one tactical, the other mental – have added ballast to those ambitions. As a player she has always been well-balanced with good movement, decent groundstrokes, and a punchy volley. But she has developed significant weapons – particularly her forehand – to wound the top players, and is hitting the ball closer to the back of the court to take full advantage.
When Watson ran the world No2 Maria Sharapova close in a tight three-setter in September it also flicked a switch in her head. Now she believes that no one is unbeatable. "When I played Sharapova at the US Open in 2011 I gave her a scare, but playing her again recently I felt a big difference and I think she felt she was close to losing too," Watson says. "Now when I go on the court I don't want to give any respect. I am thinking: I am going to beat this person no matter who it is.
"They are obviously great players but they are human," she adds. "They are going to make mistakes. On your day you can beat anybody."
Our discussion returns to that bubbly young girl aged 12, leaving her parents behind in Guernsey to roll the dice and head to Florida. She must have been very lonely? "I found it the opposite," she says. "I'm so lucky but my team-mates in my first year are my best friends today. It was like having a slumber party every night. It was awesome. I just loved the experience."
But it must have been tough being a small fish in a big pond? She nods. "In England I won the nationals and I've always been ranked quite high for my age group. And then I went to America and there were so many girls better than I was. I was put into the rubbish group, not given much attention. I didn't get much attention at all until I won the junior US Open in 2009."
Really? Her face lights up as submerged memories flood back. "They had the morning groups and the afternoon groups. If you were in the afternoon groups you were bad, so obviously I was in the afternoon groups," she says. "After three years I was moved to the morning group and I was thinking 'yes', but I'm still not in the best groups. You weren't given special attention. If you wanted to work hard you had to do it on your own. I started working harder, getting better, and I was moved up again. And that was the best feeling. I didn't mind. You have to prove yourself and that's the same with everything."
Eight years on, she still has an underdog's mentality. Her good friend Robson has enjoyed more of the media spotlight, and perhaps possesses more of the heavy duty tools needed to win a slam, but Watson delights in proving people wrong.
She did it at Bollettieri's camp. She did it when, as a 66-1 outsider, she won in Osaka. She will do so again.

ANCIENT myths could be behind black dogs being left at an animal rescue centre for months on end.
Volunteers at Merlin Animal Rescue in St Asaph say they have more black greyhounds than any other dog.
The phenomenon is known as 'Black Dog Syndrome' and researchers in America are trying to find out if the traditional symbolism of black dogs as representative of evil is behind it.
"Sadly we struggle to home black greyhounds more than any other dog," said Nik Jones from Merlin.
"We have nine black dogs in at the moment and we met up with another animal rescue the other day and it's exactly the same with them.
"Once you get a black dog at a rescue centre, especially a greyhound or lurcher, they just take a lot longer to home."
One of the black dogs looking for a home at Merlin is Annie, who has been at the centre for over 18 months.
"She came in as a cruelty case with broken ribs and cuts and bruises all over her very thin body," said Nik.
"Sadly everyone just passes her by but she is one of the most friendliest dogs you could meet."
The Black Dog Research Studio in America is working to explore reasons why black dogs may get left behind in rescue centres.
They are looking at whether superstitions surrounding black dogs which have been around for centuries could be the culprit.
In myths and legends big black dogs are often a nocturnal apparition said to be associated with the devil and their appearance regarded as a omen of death.
Large black dogs are also often featured in films or books with large, glowing eyes in electrical storms and at crossroads or ancient pathways.
In Welsh folklore The Gwyllgi is a mythical dog that appears as an apparition of a mastiff with glowing red eyes
At the time of Halloween volunteers at Merlin are urging people not to be spooked out by the thought of giving a black dog a home.
"I can't understand why black dogs or cats are left behind," added Nik.
"They are all beautiful to me and colour or looks shouldn't matter when choosing a pet."

BeschreibungReminiscent of Orson Welles's The Third Man, Repetition is an atmospheric spy novel of violence, mystery, and tricks of the eye, set in a bombed-out 1949 Berlin. Henri Robin, a special agent of the French secret service, arrives in the ruined city and feels linked to it by a vague and recurrent memory. There is a shooting, a kidnapping, druggings, encounters with pimps and teenage whores, police interrogations, even torture. Bits and pieces of the Oedipus story resonate through the book's elegant labyrinth as Robin slowly senses that he was in Berlin before -- as a child, with his mother, perhaps looking for his father. A brilliantly executed novel in prose of an almost hallucinatory richness, Repetition is proof that Robbe-Grillet's vision is, in a time of identity theft and porous nationhood, more relevant than ever.

Comments about Women's Dressy Patterned Tunic:
I was relieved to find that the "floaty" polyester fabric is not see-through! However it is considerably larger and longer than I would have expected, although I ordered my usual size. However, I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of sending it back and hoping the smaller size was available, so will wear it as it is.

Police K-9 locates drugs during traffic stop
ANDERSON, Calif. - Police arrested an Anderson woman after finding large amounts of drugs in her car during a traffic stop.
Nora Hunter, 32, was pulled over early Tuesday morning around Highway 273 and Ox Yoke Rd.
Police say they found a glass pipe used for smoking during a pat down search. The officer detained Hunter, and called in for a K-9 unit to search the car.
The report says K-9 Aero led officers to finding 13.3 grams of heroin, 73.3 grams of methamphetamine, along with marijuana, prescription drugs, and various other drug paraphernalia. Officers also say they found a loaded and concealed revolver.
Hunter was arrested and booked into the Shasta County Jail on several felony charges.

More details emerged this week about how the government will be underwriting the mortgages of more than half a million homebuyers as part of the second phase of its Help to Buy scheme.
The so-called "mortgage guarantee" element is due to go live in January 2014 (the first phase, involving equity loans, kicked off in April).
George Osborne's plans received a kicking from many economists and politicians, with one leading business body branding them "very dangerous".
But if the initiative results in more mortgages becoming available, and drives down interest rates for buyers with small deposits, it's likely to be judged a success by many.
Cheaper mortgages sounds good. How much cheaper? On the face of it, the new scheme could reduce interest rates for those with only a 5% deposit from 5.5%-6% to below 4.5%, and increase the choice of deals.
David Hollingworth at mortgage broker London & Country, says someone who takes out one of the current "NewBuy" 95% deals, such as Nationwide's two-year fixed-rate to buy a newly-built home, would pay 4.44%.
By contrast, someone opting for one of the relatively few "standard" 95% two-year fixed-rate deals out there now would typically pay 5.59% (at Hanley Economic building society) or 5.99% (Newcastle building society).
On a mortgage of £150,000, 4.44% translates into a monthly payment of £829, assuming it is a repayment loan and a 25-year term.
A rate of 5.59% translates into a payment of £929, while 5.99% would give a £966 monthly payment.
I sense a "but"... You're right. While more details emerged this week, there are still plenty of things we don't know. For example, lenders will have to pay the government a fee for each mortgage that is guaranteed, and a lot will depend on how much this is set at – a final decision has yet to be announced. If the fee is set too high, banks and building societies will be reluctant to sign up, or it could mean the deals on offer are less attractive.
So how will the scheme work? It's aimed at enabling many more people to obtain a mortgage without the need for a prohibitively large deposit.
The government will make available £12bn of guarantees to lenders – enough, it believes, to support £130bn of mortgages where a deposit of as little as 5% is required.
Ministers claim this could translate into well over 500,000 mortgages over the three years of the scheme.
Lenders who offer low-deposit mortgages will have the opportunity to buy a guarantee on the "top slice" of the mortgage – the bit between 80% and 95%. If a borrower gets into financial difficulty and their property is repossessed, the government will cover a chunk of the lender's losses.
The guarantee will be valid for up to seven years.
Give me an example The guarantee will pay out if the property is repossessed and the bank or building society is unable to recover all the money owed – but it only applies to losses above 80% of the original purchase price.
The lender will also have to take a modest hit above this threshold, to ensure it does not offer risky loans.
Let's say a bank is forced to repossess a property that cost £100,000, but is only able to raise £65,000 through selling it.
The guarantee will pay out £14,250 (£15,000 minus a £750 lender loss). The 5% deposit from the borrower (£5,000) will be wiped out, and the lender will lose a further £15,000 (ie, the part between £65,000 and £80,000).
Who's eligible? Millions of people. This new scheme is available to existing homeowners as well as first-time buyers, with no specific age restrictions, and applies to both "old" and brand-new properties costing up to £600,000.
You will need a deposit of at least 5%, and you have to take out a repayment mortgage (interest-only is not allowed). However, to take part, buyers will need to demonstrate they can afford the repayments on the mortgage, and will need a reasonably clean credit history.
Anyone who has a county court judgment against them for more than £500 that relates to the three years before they apply for a loan, will be barred.
Anyone else not eligible? The scheme is not available on second homes, and borrowers will be asked to sign a declaration that they do not own another property anywhere in the world. Nor is it available on buy-to-let properties.
It will not be possible to use Help to Buy in conjunction with any other government scheme, including NewBuy.
How do I apply? It all kicks off in January, so there will be more information issued in the coming months.
It's possible that borrowers will not know they are applying for a loan through this part of the Help to Buy scheme, as the guarantee will be bought by the lender and the deal could happen behind the scenes – lenders might just advertise 95% loans with no mention that they are being backed by the taxpayer. Details are not yet clear.
I'm looking to buy now. Is it better to wait until this scheme comes in? That could be risky, particularly if house prices are rising in the area you are looking at. It's already clear there are a lot of unknowns in terms of how the scheme will look and who will be taking part.
"For someone in that position, I would say they were well-advised to carry on saving for a bigger deposit. That should open up more opportunities than waiting for the Help to Buy guarantee. If the guarantee brings some useful options for them, then great. But at the moment there's no certainty about how it's going to operate," adds Hollingworth.
What do the critics say? A great deal. The Institute of Directors says the housing market needs more supply, and the extension of this scheme is "very dangerous … the world must have gone mad for us to now be discussing endless taxpayer guarantees for mortgages".
The Liberal Democrat peer Lord Oakeshott reckons Osborne "is pouring fuel on the flames of an overheating housing market in the south-east", while Michael Pearce at Capital Economics, says the risk for the chancellor is that Help to Buy "reinflates the house price bubble that the UK saw in the run-up to the 2008 recession (which still has not fully deflated), that could pop before the election".

Imagine what we could do if we could get 5 programmers from each of 100 educational institutions working together. How about 10 or 20 programmers. FAQ: uPortal and Sakai • Is Sakai telling uPortal what to do because uPortal receives funding through the Sakai project – A little bit - JSR-168 is critical to the Sakai project so Sakai has requested JSR-168 support as part of uPortal's version 2.3 and 3.0 – Note 1: That request assumed that supporting JSR-168 would be part of the strategic direction of uPortal whether or not Sakai existed. We feel that without JSR-168 support uPortal's complete dominance of the open-source portal space would erode rather rapidly uPortal / Sakai FAQ (cont) • Is Sakai telling uPortal what to do because uPortal receives funding through the Sakai project? – No - The entire implementation detail of uPortal's JSR-168 is up to uPortal and every other design decision regarding uPortal is made in the same manner as it has always been done in uPortal - Sakai acts as just another member of the uPortal community in that respect – Note: Part of the reason that uPortal is a partner in Sakai is because of its strong open source process and strong community of users. Sakai hopes to learn best practices in running an open source project from the uPortal group. uPortal / Sakai FAQ (cont) • Will uPortal drop support or break the iChannel, cWebProxy interface? – Absolutely not - The iChannel interface and all of the Channel implementations which already exist in the uPortal community are highly valued as Sakai explores the blending of collaborative/learning management systems with enterprise portals. • Any other thoughts on uPortal? – Yes - there are a number of elements of uPortal which Sakai feels are unique advantages of uPortal compared other portals: The flexible skinning using XML/XSLT, the ground breaking work on building an internationalized portal, the flexibility of the portal presentation beyond just images and skins (tab/column, tree-view, etc..) FAQ: Educational Partners • Is the SEPP program buying access to the source code? – • No - the source code will be published openly and freely according to the Sakai project plan. SEPP partners will see the releases several weeks before the public release so they can review, comment, and generally help with the release process. SEPP members will be invited to a pre-release workshop to examine the release and interact directly with the Sakai core team. Is the SEPP program buying a "vote" in the governance of Sakai or the consensus process developing specification for Sakai? – No - as specifications are developed and initial versions are released comments are welcome from anyone. We hope that there is never a "vote" throughout the entire Sakai project - we hope that this is about making the right technical choices and that the proper choice will bubble up through active discussion with as wide a range of people as possible. As the governance evolves, this may change. SEPP FAQ Continued.. • • So, I don't need to pay for source and I am not buying a vote - sounds like I should not join the SEPP – Wrong - By joining the SEPP, you become an active part of the Sakai team – The SEPP staff will keep you apprised of all Sakai activities and bring important issues to your attention. – The SEPP staff attend all major meetings and if you let them know your requirements, and needs, the SEPP staff will make sure that your requirements are considered at the exact moment that the discussions and decisions are being made I know members of the Sakai core team - they are nice people - why don't they just do this instead of making a big fuss about the SEPP? – Yes - you are right about them being nice people. But they need to focus on the outrageous timeline forced upon them by the funding agency and the (really mean) Sakai board. Given that pressure, even nice people might conveniently forget about your requirements at crunch time. By having SEPP staff who have no line project responsibility, they remain focused on the needs of the SEPP members - even when things get a little hectic. – Running a project with as much public interest as Sakai requires dedicated resources for communication or the project is in danger of failing - depending on developers to perform this role is very dangerous. SEPP FAQ Continued… (last slide) • • So does this mean that the Sakai core team is sequestered and that I as a SEPP member never get to talk to the core team? – Again, you are incorrect - the Sakai team is interested in interacting with anyone who has a significant comment, problem or issue so that it can be resolved as quickly as practical. We are all motivated for the Sakai product to be "right" - if something is wrong we need to hear about it quickly and directly. The SEPP staff will bring in the relevant members of the core team into the discussion whenever it is appropriate. (Because the SEPP is part is every significant meeting, they know exactly who is the lead in any area of the project at any given moment) – The Sakai core team engages in discussions with anyone who can shed light on issues regardless of whether or not they are in the SEPP - the difference for SEPP members is that you are kept in the loop in terms of what the current questions are. Is this about the money? – No. The expected revenue from the SEPP funds is somewhere between 5% and 2% of the expected expenditures in the project (depending on whether you look at minimum required match or the approximate expected match respectively) uPortal / JSR - 168 JSF Render JSP Layout Sakai Framework/Config <sakai:toolbar> <… … JSP Layout <sakai:toolbar> <… Tool Config Beans View Beans Action Action Service Service Method Method Method Method Config Beans Config Beans The Slide.

Discussion in 'Windows 8 Help and Support' started by mrbadness, Dec 25, 2012.
Take away the start menu and you get windows 7. I don't see much difference
You mean *Add? And there's much more different than that. How about being able to natively mount an ISO file as a virtual device drive without any software? Built in AV (MSE - Better than the former Windows Defender that we seen in previous Windows)? Better functionality with searching? Hyper-V? DirectX Desktop?... You're missing or perhaps forgetting lots of features that Windows 8 provides in relation to Windows 7. Here's an analogy, 'just because you can't see wind doesn't mean it doesn't exist'. ~Ace
What else has windows 8 have to offer
-Microsoft account integration -New detailed TaskManager -Windows To Go -Windows Live Syncing -Improved and faster search performances ($MFT enumeration speed?) -Native USB 3.0 Support -Better multi-monitor support -Storage Spaces -"Snap" apps feature -Improved Explorer (embedded functionality) -Better backup and restore options -Hybrid boot -Built in PDF reader support -Improved disk cleanup utility -More...
Although I tend to agree with you, I do however feel that most of the advantages you post are not enough to make one like me take the plunge. Win 7 has a very inefficient search and lacks classic menus; Other than that is is really all that I need. Windows 8 has to offer much more if it is to convince people like me to upgrade. I am sure that hidden within windows 8 are features that are good but Microsoft could have implemented these in a service pack for win7. I feel that windows 8 will be popular with touch screen devices such as tablets and smart phones but on PCs it will be divided between enterprise and professional users vs home users. Most home users will not have a problem with win 8 especially if they are new to windows. Such users do a lot of social networking and gaming although even here win 7 caters very well to these needs. Only time will tell how well win 8 will fare. Perhaps Microsoft will improve win 7 with a new SP and reinstate the start button in win 8. This will go a long way to please the client base. Have a happy new year everyone!
There will be no more major service packs on Win 7 if history is an indication.
Many of those features the average user won't even notice. MSE keeps scoring low in AV tests I went back to Avast, Hyper V seems to have a lot of issues, most low end users don't even know what an ISO is, I believe Windows To Go is only available in the Enterprise edition, Windows Backup hasn't been overly reliable on the past. So time will tell how sucessfull it will be on desktops. Joe
This was tested with MSE 4.0, while the latest version keeping in mind, is 4.1. http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/docs/avc_fdt_201209_en.pdf Now if you look at the detection rates, Microsoft is lower on the end of these top AV's that have been tested, but if you scroll down the page, it has the least false positives. (0.) http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/docs/avc_fps_201209_en.pdf My final notes with MSE is that it's also less of a memory hog than most other AV's, and memory leaks are at an all time minimum as far as i've seen which positively effects the stability of the program in the long run, as well as the overall performance of your system. Performance wise, it scored really high as well: http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/docs/avc_per_201210_en.pdf AV-Comparatives is a fairly reputable source too... Avast as far as I know is very unstable, and has caused countless BSOD's from my experience with online consumers. AVG is really sketchy, I'm not a fan, for several reasons. It's had a bad reputation for file detection, and in addition to that, regardless of the free or paid edition, it also (*chuckes*), really looks ugly for the way it manages itself on your system... If you can imagine a messy room with clothes all over the floor and basically anything else your imagination can come up with, that's the way it treats your filesystem for when you allow it to "move in" upon installation. I think part of this un-organized behavior is partial to blame for the BSOD's i've seen related to it as well. But I haven't seen any where MSE is to blame yet. Norton, a few, but it and BitDefender, I am a fan of, as long as you have 2010 or higher for the version of Norton you are running, because they dramatically improved the performance and memory consumption from that point on, but, BOTH have great detection rates, and good features. Norton has a great firewall. Actually, back when I had an interest in analyzing malware on a core level, I figured that Norton actually had a good chance of standing up for itself against the intrusions. Not just some lame features that you see in some of today's AV's. Ransomware for instance, in my opinion the worst kind of virus you can get... For a few incidences that i've had, Norton had stuck up for itself before the trojan was able to lock the files on my system, while other AV's i've tested didn't seem to even realize what was going on. That's my experiences though. I guess it would depend on what you have seen in the past, as to what your opinion is about certain things, but I have some respect for Symantec in the way it tackles system intrusions. I still see people today that hate Norton overall, because of their experiences with versions pre-dating Norton 2010. 2008 in particular, which was a complete memory hog. It would bog down the rest of the system itself so much that they couldn't hardly have 2 instances of a webbrowser open almost... Aside from that, I do agree with most of your post. I can understand that the needs of a computer user differ from person to person. Each computer user will have different needs, and with that, probably affects their decision on the type of operating system they get(?), hardware, software, etc... For me, I think these features are great, because I am a computer explorer, and programmer. The way things work on a core level and within the kernel itself, interests me, so my range of interests are fairly vast when it comes to computers, regardless of the OS I have. It's a learning tool for me. From my knowledge, perhaps the reason why you'll want to upgrade to Windows 8 in the future, would be that Windows 7 is no longer considered very secure, either because of the fact that it's been out on the market long enough for people to discover some big flaws with it, or because Microsoft is no longer releasing security patches for it. You will want to move to a more secure system, especially if you use your computer for things like online banking and all of that. Aside from that though, I can understand. I can't change people's opinions about Windows 8, I just like explaining some of the things Microsoft "did" to Windows 8, in efforts to explain why it's different from the previous Windows. I too at one point did not enjoy Windows 8, but I was like most of the people that say "Take away the start button from Windows 7 and you have Windows 8". That's far from the truth though... ~Ace
That would be mostly a lie. It takes more mouse clicks to get where you are going in Windows 8 then Window 7 as you have to drill down to the item to get to it. Control panel is an example of hard to get to and you cannot just show control panel on the desktop in an easy manner. Metro forces more bad changes for the user then it offers advantages. In normal use attempting to do something easy like look at 3 files I am editing at same time is impossible in Metro as you only get 2 screens and cannot ever read one of them. Add to this the problem of opening another file closes the one open. Clearly no muti-purpose in the design for normal users or you have to learn a vast number of keyboard shortcuts. Windows 95 to Windows 7 could be run with only the mouse, Windows 8 not possible. Lastly when Windows 8 does crash you are in limbo as to what is wrong. I
It would be good if the myth that Windows 8 is not made for or ignores conventional, non-Touch PCs & laptops ceased to be propagated. It is very, incorrectly & unfairly misleading to people. It is, also, not true that there is an effort afoot to 'kill' desktop PCs. Merely as computing landscape (use, needs) and society change & evolve so does the attention to mobility. Windows 8, in all its forms, takes that step in the future to cover all bases & devices. It takes fewer clicks, time & effort to find or access things or navigate in Windows 8 than w/ any prior Windows OS. And there are simple ways this can be increased even further... and w/out adding Classic Shell, Start8 or using Start or WinQ... strictly @ or from Desktop. Case in point: http://windows8forums.com/windows-8-start-screen-desktop/17838-win8-desktop-approach-you-might-like.html Cheers, Drew
"It takes more mouse clicks to get where you are going in Windows 8 then Window 7 as you have to drill down to the item to get to it." This statement needs some amplification. In what way do you find you need more mouse clicks? Why is the control Panel harder to get to: Through the Modern - one click View attachment 1043 With classic: again, one click View attachment 1044
And on Desktop: 1. Power Users menu CP & lots of other good stuff is 'right there' Can't provide a screen shot, just Rt Clk bottom-left Corner. 2. Desktop Toolbar, also, offers direct access to CP, including ALL Items and much more Windows 8 offers more direct, more efficient, quicker, easier access to many, many things than there ever has been! I have read & listen to a lot over the past year. To say Windows 8 is slow, awkward, time-consuming, tedious, fastidious or difficult to use & or navigate... @ this point in time, I cannot mince words...it is not Heck you can even get to absolutely every application, Store or otherwise, w/out even changing screens (or leaving Desktop). If using 8 is not smooth, seamless & swift for you, it is how you are NOT using but, NOT the fault of the OS. Cheers, Drew

"Mazany? It's Midnight, I'm coming in ok? I really need to talk to you." I heard the door open and smelt the sweet smell of Midnight's scent. I moaned to my self, Should I say hi? I want to meet your blood sucking monster.
"Shut up... shut up." I muttered to myself, grabbing a handful of bedding, trying to keep control. The mark on my arm began to pulsate painfully. I heard Midnight move across the room and felt the bed dip when she sat on it. The symbol began to throb a red hot pain,
"Go away." I managed to say, I knew it hurt Midnight but if she didn't go she was going to get hurt much worse.
"I'm sorry Mazany but I am not going anywhere, I can stay here all day you know?" I clenched my eyes close, trying not to moan in pain. I felt Shadow rising to the surface, I couldn't keep him out. He pushed me away and I was back in the observation box, NO! I tried to struggle but the symbol pulsated harder and it felt like I was collapsing on the floor in agony.
I dimly heard something said by Midnight about me being the only person who cared for her, and about me being her guardian. I then heard Shadows booming voice in my head and out loud,
"Oh! So when you want something, Milady," Shadow was taunting her with 'Milady', "You finally accept I am your Guardian?" Well that was what you were thinking. Shadow taunted in my mind and I realized that I was back in control, the symbol was a dull throbbing. I looked up at Midnight at said,
"I'm sorry Milady. I didn't mean that are you...?" I didn't know why Shadow was back and I hated it, Midnight wrapped her arms around me. I felt my body tense, Why did she hug me after I said that? Shadow chuckled in my mind, Ahh young love. I felt Midnight begin to cry, Aww look what you've done to the poor Bitch. I wonder if she'd rather have my company.
"She's not a Bitch, leave her alone. She's not your's, I'm her Guardian" I muttered, Yeah, your such a great Guardian with the master of all evil living within you. I was about the snarl when Midnight whispered,
"Mazany, what's up with you?" She sounded curious and I looked at her shocked, I un tangled myself from her and got up. The mark was burning so badly,
"Midnight, I think it's time you left." Midnight didn't reply and then said,
"But Mazany, I-" I spun round, cutting her off, and yelled,
"I SAID GET OUT MIDNIGHT!" Midnight ran out of the room, she was scared of me. Midnight was scared of me. I knew Zuri was waiting outside and I didn't care. I fell to the floor out my knees and clutched my wrist, tears fell down from the pain and I lifted the bandage to see it glowing red, blood was flowing from the symbol.
"Damn it!" I couldn't stay here, I was too much of a danger to my friends. I tried to move but Shadow spoken in my head, But if you leave... who's going to protect them from the witch? I hit my head on the floor, "Damn it!" Shadow laughed at my pain and I felt the hopelessness of what was happening.
"Damn it!!" I shouted hitting the floor with my injured arm, I watched as the wound open and pain shot through my arm. I sat there gasping in pain until it resided, I grabbed a bandage from the bedside table and re wrapped my arm, it had nearly healed but the wounds had opened again. I went to the sink and washed off the blood, both from the wound and the symbol. The red tinted water slowly went down the plug hole, I glanced up at the replaced mirror and saw Him standing behind me as a fuzzy shadow.
"Damn it!"
