Windows wants me to restart evey time I log in
Well not every time, but every time AFTER the first login. I start up my computer and log in, no problem. Then I log out, and log back in again. As soon as Windows finishes loading the desktop, the following pop-up message appears:
You must restart your computer to apply these changes.
Before restarting, save any open files and close all programs.
[Restart Now] [Restart Later]
Needless to say, I click on "Restart Later". A bit of background info:
I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) from Windows XP Professional. Win 7 was a clean install (obviously) but I did use the "Windows Easy Transfer Wizard for Windows 7" utility to transfer my files and settings from XP to 7. So I believe that this may be due to some setting or parameter that was transferred from XP.
The second point of note is that this only occurs when I completely disable "User Account Control" (which is always). As a power user who follows common-sense computing practices, I find UAC extremely intrusive and annoying, so I refuse to use it. Besides, I still use "old" programs that won't easily run otherwise because they are unsigned.
I even tried disabling all non-M$ services and all start-up programs with "msconfig" and the message still appears on the second and subsequent logins. Any ideas?

Hello johnburn, welcome to Seven Forums!
The first thing to do is to download and install the free version of MBAM from the link below after that do a full / complete scan with Malwarebytes to see if it finds any malware and post back with the results.

Disabling the UAC is very risky and really not recommended. I suggest you read this article that explains the logic. And especially in Win7 it is really only a minor intrusion.

Disabling the UAC is very risky and really not recommended. I suggest you read this article that explains the logic. And especially in Win7 it is really only a minor intrusion.
I know that disabling UAC is risky. I read the suggested article and didn't learn anything that I didn't already know. To me, UAC does what it is supposed to do, but it isn't the "be all and end all". It's really just Microsoft's way of trying to "fix" a bad (albeit not bad at the time Windows was first created) OS design. It's really a band-aid.
That being said, I would agree that most users, especially those that take risks such as going to websites like Pirate Bay or file sharing, definitely should use it. However, I use my PC primarily for work, which is tech support. 90% of my computer use is logging into Linux based systems via VPNs and other secure connections. The other 10% is using older (unsigned) applications that have been safely used for years. In this very specific scenario, UAC is an annoyance, pure and simple. I have one application that is unsigned that I open probably a 100 times a day. That "beep" and having to click the ack screen very soon wears you down. Therefore I will not use UAC for this particular PC.
I also do a full backup every night. If in the highly unlikely event I do get hit by a worm or other malware, I would simply restore from backup. Problem solved while I go for coffee...

If this issue only occurs while UAC is disabled, maybe a re-think is in order as there are ways to run trusted programs / apps without a UAC prompt, have a look at the tutorial at the link below.

So after a year of living down the street, I finally made it out to the neighborhood pizza joint. FWIW, they also deliver.
The location looks ancient. Like, really ancient. The jukebox is new, but the music is old. Kitchen is quite big and clean though.
We ordered a large half pepperoni mushroom half jalapeno + meatball and some garlic bread.
Garlic bread was ok, nothing special, toasted well though and satiated our appetite long enough.
Pizza - Greasy. Damn. I'd say about as greasy as Nicky D's and Big Mama's in DTLA. We figure it's because they put their cheese on TOP of the toppings, thereby trapping all the grease in. Cheese kinda hard on top, not really stringy, even though the damn thing was really cheesy. Ingredients tasted pretty good (but greasy, damnit). Crust was thin towards the center, got pretty thick towards the end. Kinda crackery which was awesome, but weighed down by the grease/cheese.
Overall, better than chain, not as good as other pizzerias of consideration.
My pecking order (from all the local places I've been to):
Vitos -> lamonicas -> joe's -> nicky d's -> buono

Concerns that changes to dementia services could impact patients, families, care homes and GPs have been raised by an NHS worker.
Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Trust is proposing changes to services for people with dementia, which will involve cuts in budgets.
The trust is facing a £200,000 cut in its older people mental health contract this year, with a further £150,000 to be removed next year.
In a document seen by the Daventry Express, the trust says its current model sees inefficiencies with patients referred from one NHS team to another, and care homes which employ their own registered mental health nurses using the NHS teams as an emergency service.
The proposal involves merging the NHS's memory assessment and long term teams, care homes having to do more themselves, and moving the monitoring of some patients with 'mild needs' to GPs.
The trust says these steps will free up capacity for mental health services to deal with more complex cases and move from a medical model to a more 'holistic' one.
Labour councillor Wendy Randall said: "I have big concerns that they are making these cuts but not consulting with the public. Are families looking after people with dementia going to be asked to do more? Will the reduction in high band nurses mean GPs are expected to pick up more patients? Even now people complain they can't get appointments, so will we end up with more people in A&E or family carers suffering stress and depression? Is that cost effective?"
Some staff are concerned at the changes saying they could have an impact on vulnerable patients and families.
One spoke to the Daventry Express anonymously, saying: "I believe the public should be aware of these proposed cuts, however the trust has not included patients, carers, or the public in the consultation process. GPs on whom the burden will fall to fill the gaps are not aware of these proposals and the impacts they will have on their workloads.
"I have worked as a senior clinicians for over 20 years and am very concerned about the impact these cuts will have on a particularly vulnerable group who have no voice."

I'm pleased to announce the winner of our second Alien Skin Photo of the Quarter competition. A big thanks goes to each of you for sharing your work with us over the last three months. Congratulations to all who submitted. There were thousands of beautiful shots shared during the Second quarter's competition.
The Alien Skin Flickr group pool and the Exposure and Snap Art Facebook groups continue to grow by leaps and bounds. The competition's prize value may have had something to do with the flurry of sharing. Over $2,000 in prizes is a pretty big incentive!!
One photo stood out from the other great work shared during the last quarter. It's pictured below.
Into the Light III by Chay Bigger takes the title. Congratulations, Chay! You're the winner.
What made this image so special for us was the great lighting, composition and pose. The black and white toning is beautifully done and adds to the mystery and mood of the image. Nicely done!
The original prize for the quarter was supposed to be a Fujifilm X-T1 with 56mm f1.2 lens. It turns out that Chay is a Nikon shooter and she politely asked if it was possible for us to give her a Nikon lens of equal value to complement her existing gear. We're reasonable people and so we agreed. As such Chay chose a Nikkor AF-S 35mm f/1.4G and a Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4G instead. Her fancy new lenses are in the mail right now. Not bad, eh?
Fancy your chances for the next quarter? Our next competition is already underway and you can start sharing now! Head over to The Alien Skin Flickr group pool and the Exposure and Snap Art Facebook groups and share your best work. We'll be giving away a prize of around $2,300 value again. Let's see what you got!!

DC looks for Winter Classic venues
The Winter Classic is moving south of the Mason-Dixon Line, which means it's time to check the forecast.
"Now what I start to worry about is, I hope it's cold enough, right?" Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis said.
Leonsis announced Saturday that the Capitals will host the NHL's annual New Year's Day outdoor game in 2015. He's been lobbying for the game for years. The Capitals were the visiting team in Pittsburgh for the 2011 Winter Classic, which was postponed several hours because of rain.
"I experienced the weather in Pittsburgh, and I see what can happen city-by-city when you play outdoors," Leonsis said at the team's annual fan convention, "and I just hope that we get a cold spell and maybe even some snow."
The average high temperature on Jan. 1 in Washington is 44 degrees, with a record of 69 set in 2005. This season's Winter Classic will be held in Michigan, but a good litmus test for outdoor hockey in a warmer climate will come Jan. 5 when the Anaheim Ducks will play the Los Angeles Kings at Dodger Stadium.
Leonsis said he'd like to attend the game at Dodger Stadium, and noted that there have been technological advances that keep rinks cold when the temperature is unseasonably warm. He said it sounded like a "good idea" when a fan suggested that the game in Washington be held at night when it's colder, but he also said that decision will be left up to the NHL.
"The big concern is rain," he said. "That's the one thing that would make it very difficult."
Still to be determined are a venue and an opponent. NHL Chief Operating Officer John Collins said the league will consider Nationals Park, RFK Stadium and FedEx Field. Leonsis would prefer to rule out FedEx Field, which is located outside the city in Landover, Md.
"I think it should be in Washington, D.C.," Leonsis said.
There have been suggestions that the game be played on the National Mall between the U.S. Capitol and the Washington Monument, but the Capitals say there are too many logistical hurdles to make it a feasible venue.
The decision to play the game in Washington reinforces the city's recent emergence on the national hockey scene. The Capitals have become a perennial playoff contender with three-time league MVP Alex Ovechkin, and they've sold out 181 consecutive games. Collins also noted the strong D.C. fan contingent that made the trip to Pittsburgh for the 2011 Classic.
"One thing I did learn from that game," Collins said. "There's only one thing that Pittsburgh fans and the Caps fans agree on — and that's how much they hate Philadelphia."

STREAM: Get Immersed In A Dream-Pop Soundscape With Gloss' "Between Themselves" (FILTER Premiere)
By Staff, Photo by Ben Swanson on November 20, 2013
We know a good dream-pop band when we hear it, and Minneapolis quintet, Gloss, definitely has the makings of one. Their self-recorded EP, Between Themselves (out November 26 via Forged Artifacts), is a great introduction to the group and we're excited to be premiering a full stream right here.
Composed of Jeff Cornell, Sean Neppl, Jack Woolsey, Jordan Bleau and Emmy Carter, Gloss' strengths live in their ability to create beautiful, lush soundscapes. Every song on their EP is drenched in shoegaze influences, resulting in wispy echoes and delicate melodies. That along with relatable themes of fear, relationships and struggles makes them a refreshingly accessible band.
Take a listen for yourself below and immerse yourself in their consuming arrangements. You'll be glad you did!
Pre-order Between Themselves via bandcamp here.

This was evident from sentiments expressed at the public hearings that have taken place over the past two nights. While Tuesday's Kempton Park meeting saw a poor turnout – with only about 60 people in attendance – last night's public hearing in Pretoria was well attended, by up to 300 people.
Emotions ran high and tempers flared as members of the public vocalised their mistrust of the government, defiance against what they see as a new and unnecessary tax, and government's disregard for the people's voice.
According to Wayne Duvenage, chairperson of the Opposition to Urban Tolling Alliance (Outa), the message – "loud and clear" – is a resounding and absolute rejection of the e-toll system.
Duvenage says, ultimately, e-tolling is destined to fail. "There is a growing chorus of absolute objection to e-tolling and I am sensing that the public is not going to participate. That will make it ungovernable and, like in other parts of the world (Hong Kong, Manchester and the US, for example) where society has rejected proposed tolling, it is likely to fall flat."
He points out that, in each case in which tolling has failed, the reasons were three-fold: a lack of trust by the people in the system, their lack of trust in the government itself, and an aversion to paying money into state coffers that will inevitably be squandered and fall prey to the government's ineptitude and maladministration.
"When you add all these attitudes together, these factors are at play here too and I think SA is going the same way. Ultimately, I don't think it can work – the public will make it ungovernable. Rules are only as good as they are governable and [e-tolling] is not workable or governable – it just doesn't have the trust and support of the people."
The Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) said last night it was "angry" about how the public hearings have gone so far, calling the process an "e-toll consultation farce".
"Cosatu is angry that in the first of the public consultation meetings on the proposed e-tolls for Gauteng highways, government officials and the SA National Roads Agency (Sanral) tried to prevent any discussion of people's principled objections to e-tolling, but tried to confine the discussion to the level of the tariffs.
"Residents at the meeting, the overwhelming majority of whom voiced their opposition to the e-tolls, were angry that having at last had an opportunity to discuss the tolls, they were told that Cabinet had already agreed to the proposal and that these meetings could not change that decision."
Cosatu's national spokesperson, Patrick Craven, says this is unacceptable. "[It] turns the consultation meetings into a farce."
Cosatu is urging Gauteng's residents to attend the last meeting tonight and "be ready to take to the streets to demonstrate their opposition to an attempt to force us to pay for a basic public service".
The federation has called for a day of "civil disobedience" on 30 November, as a protest against e-tolls. Craven says the public needs to tell government and Sanral: "No to e-tolls! No to the privatisation of our roads! Give us safe, efficient and reliable public transport!"
Cosatu says details of the mass action will be announced soon.
Official opposition the Democratic Alliance (DA) says last night's hearing was a sham, "leaving more people with unanswered questions than with confidence in the system".
Many residents ended up walking out on the four-hour-long meeting out of frustration, as they felt their questions were not properly answered.
Fred Nel, DA Gauteng deputy spokesperson on roads and transport, says, to add insult to injury, those that made the decision to forge ahead with e-tolling were conspicuous in their absence last night. "Transport minister Ben Martins, finance minister Pravin Gordhan, and Gauteng roads and transport MEC Ismail Vadi were nowhere to be found.
"The government notices that were discussed last night were issued by minister Martins and, therefore, he should have been there to address questions of those he serves, the citizens of SA."
Nel says government wastage and corruption drain almost R60 billion from public money every year, at national and provincial level. "This alone is sufficient to fund the entire e-tolling and Gautrain projects in cash, while rehabilitating another 7 000km of roads. In the light of this, the resistance against the e-tolling system should, therefore, not come as a surprise. Government has a lot to answer for."
But despite the hue and cry, Nel says government seems hell-bent on implementing the e-toll system. "Last night's hearing was a clear indication that it is preparing for the green light to launch it. Government is no longer considering scrapping e-tolling unless the courts stop them."
At the end of the day, says Duvenage, the public's standpoint is patent: "This is one tax too far and we will not participate." He says he cannot envisage government making the system work in the face of such overwhelming and widespread contempt.
"It is a house of cards that is going to come crashing down."

A CRAIG Wallace hat-trick was the highlight of Ballyclare Rugby Club's comprehensive 29-3 derby win against Carrick on Saturday. The win keeps the Cloughan men top of Qualifying Two.
Meanwhile, Ballyclare's 2nd XV boosted their Junior League Section 1 title charge with a 21-17 home win against Omagh II. A Paul Morrow touchdown and two Chris Gillen penalties gave Ballyclare a 13-3 lead at the interval.
The 'Clare lads more than held their own at the set-pieces, but struggled in the loose exchanges. However, they still managed another try courtesy of Ian Holmes and a Gillen penalty, while Omagh ran in two scores.
The Thirds were whitewashed 23-0 by Portadown II, but the 4th XV fared better with a massive 72-12 win in a friendly against Ophir II.
The try-scorers were: Colin Agnew (four), Gareth Smith (three), John McDonald (two), Trevor Clarke, Darren Montgomery and Neil Fox with John Wasson contributing six conversions.

New development is coming to the downtown corner of Walton Way and 11th Street.
Once home to Top Notch Express car wash, the parcel at 1022 Walton Way is under development by Blanchard and Calhoun Commercial for a 14,500-square-foot center that has two confirmed tenants.
Integrity Medical, a local medical equipment and supplies company, is moving across Walton Way to anchor the center. It will join Augusta-based Diablo's Southwest Grill, which is adding its second metro shop, said Davis Beman, the director of commercial real estate with Blanchard and Calhoun.
"Our hope for this neighborhood center is to attract a mix of professional, medical and retail users to support the growth in this area," Beman said.
Three units, and about 4,000 square feet, remain available for lease in the center.
The nearly 2-acre property is owned by SBG Ventures LLC, which purchased the land in late 2010 for $310,000. The corporation is made up in part by the owner of Integrity Medical, Beman said.
The car wash was demolished about a year ago, and developers are moving old canal pipes from the property to accommodate the building and parking lot. Construction should begin within a month and be completed by the end of 2014 or early 2015, Beman said.
Beman said he's talking to other service-oriented retail and general office prospects to fill the remaining space. There are additional plans to expand the building if warranted by demand, he said.
"We've had very good activity on it," Beman said. "We feel like it will be up within a reasonable time due to the new judicial center and other activity that's coming in around that."
Beman, also working to bring a residential re-entry center for the Federal Bureau of Prisons to the corner of Walton Way and Seventh Street, said he hopes for gradual new construction in the area, which is saturated with older buildings and some vacant storefronts.
"I think that area is not going to change overnight, but I do think it's going in the right direction," he said. "Hopefully, people will see that there is opportunity, cheap land. If we can just assemble it and have the end-users then I think you'll see a change."

The Democrat tells The Associated Press that many of the reusable grocery bags sold nationwide are manufactured in China.
Schumer plans to announce Sunday that he is contacting the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
There is less concern the lead would easily rub off on food when the bags are new, but there is a concern that as bags wear down, lead could accumulate in landfills, creating a potential environmental hazard.
The problem came to light this past September when Wegmans, a supermarket chain with stores in New York and four other states, pulled a number of their reusable shopping bags that were manufactured in China after a consumer group found that they contained higher than acceptable levels of lead that could affect public health.
Since that time, several other reports have shown higher than acceptable levels of lead in reusable shopping bags sold at chain supermarkets in other states like Publix and Winn-Dixie, as well as drug stores across the country.
Last week, the Tampa Tribune found some bags had lead levels that concerned health officials.

Video Dharma talks
- Sunday, August 21, 2016 – "Awareness As Space" – by Sokuzan
In the beginning, the practice of meditation introduces us to spaciousness. The knee-jerk reaction of ego is to doubt the space by trying to fill it up or control what appears in it. The continuing practice of meditation is training in trusting the space. This is awareness.

Canasta is a member of the Rummy family of card games. It was developed in Argentina and Uruguay in the 1940's, exploded onto the public consciousness in the 1950's, and has remained a popular game ever since. The object of the game is to score points by making melds, which is a set of three or more cards of the same rank, regardless of suit. The game uses 108 cards - two 52-card decks plus four jokers. Canasta is usually played as two-on-two partnerships.
The following Canasta books include instruction books, strategy guides, tutorials, and more:

With the VIX sinking there is nobody better to guide us through a trade on the VIX then todays contributor, COT staffer J.W. Jones.....
One of the newest option products to appear in our universe as an options trader is the option series designed to trade the volatility index (VIX). The VIX is a measurement of the implied volatility of the S&P 500 index.
To review quickly, the implied volatility of an options series is reflective of the aggregate market opinion of the future volatility of a given underlying asset. In terms of the Volatility Index, the price is the current market opinion of the future volatility in the S&P 500 Index over the next 12 months.
As are all attempts to predict the future, this value does not always reflect accurately the actual volatility as it plays out prospectively, but at a practical level it is the best we can do. As sage philosophers have long noted, "the future isn't what it used to be."
The importance for traders is the well established and generally known inverse correlation between prices for the given underlying and the measure of implied volatility, in this case our VIX value. What is typically less known is the fact that levels of implied volatility correlate even more closely to the velocity of the price move of the underlying asset in question.......Read J.W.'s entire article and check out the charts

Petroleum Property Valuation
The term "petroleum property valuation" refers to the analytical procedure by which the commercial value of oil and gas fields is assessed. This assessment provides to prospective buyers and sellers, and other interested parties such as lenders and tax assessors, an estimate of the fair market value of underground deposits of oil and gas— the amount for which they might be bought or sold. The value of an underground deposit is directly related to the ultimate value of whatever petroleum may be extracted in the future, but because the future is uncertain, the value of the property is subject to various sources of risk that stem from geological as well as economic factors. To be useful, the valuation procedure must take proper account of the unpredictable fluctuations that would cause field development, operations, and performance to deviate from the expected outcome. This task represents a complex analytical problem that has challenged traditional valuation methods. To meet the challenge, new and highly innovative techniques have been developed in recent years, and are now finding increasingly widespread use.

Woody Allen somehow feels strangely relevant now, even though he never went anywhere: his film output triples those directors who are a fraction of his age and far less cynical. Call it a creative rebirth, now that he's exclusively focusing on his directorial duties. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Allen's next movie is called You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and will star Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, and Naomi Watts. THR has more:
Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto and Lucy Punch round out the cast in the film that revolves around different members of a family, their tangled love lives and their attempts to try to solve their problems.
Like all Woody Allen films, the interest is in the execution and all of the small character quirks, not in the plot details. He could literally be making the same movies until the universe experiences heat death. The small, intimate nature of his films allows a yearly turn around, so they come quickly and often. To Woody Allen, that is probably the closest thing to heaven that he can imagine.

Press Releases
BOC, the UK's largest supplier of compressed and liquefied gases and a member of The Linde Group, has announced that it is to install a liquefied natural gas (LNG) HGV refuelling unit in the UK at Exelby's Golden Fleece Service station on Junction 42 of the M6 south of Carlisle in Cumbria this spring.
This will be BOC's first LNG fuel unit on an existing fuel forecourt for HGVs in the UK and hence BOC's first fully public access LNG refuelling unit.
Exelby Services pioneered fuel bunkering, a contract diesel refuelling system that allows haulage companies to make large savings on the cost of diesel.
Today Exelby is one of the largest independent bunkering suppliers in the country, handling over 140 million litres of diesel each year through its five fuel sites in the North of England. The company's sites were designed with trucks in mind and store fuel for most of the major transport, distribution and fuel card companies in the UK.
The addition of BOC's LNG refuelling unit represents an important step into the low-carbon fuel market for Exelby Services and will significantly add to its offering at its Golden Fleece, Carlisle service station.
The LNG refuelling unit uses cryogenic cooling to 'temperature-condition' the fuel just prior to dispensing, and also incorporates the unique 'zero loss' refuelling technology, developed by BOC.
BOC's LNG technology uses nitrogen to keep the liquid LNG in the fuel tank at a constant super chilled temperature and this prevents the liquid from turning into a gas. The result is a zero loss system that allows no harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The same system can draw warm gas from a vehicle tank and return that back to a liquid form.
Managing Director Michael Exelby, whose father Ron established Exelby Services in 1976, commented: "Low carbon is an important part of Exelby Service's environmental agenda and we are delighted to be able to offer LNG fuel to our HGV customers."
The use of LNG as an alternative fuel, either as a replacement for or in conjunction with diesel, will reduce the total consumption of diesel in the HGV market and cut CO2 emissions.
LNG typically accounts for up to 60 per cent of total fuel consumption for a dual-fuel vehicle.
Diesel produces around 2.6 kg of CO2 for every litre burned, whereas LNG when used with diesel in a dual fuel vehicle typically reduces CO2 emissions between 10 and 14 per cent.
LNG also produces virtually no sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions, less nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions and less solid particle emissions than other fuels. 100% gas engines are either in a development or testing phase and will only further the reduction of emissions.
Mark Lowe LNG Business Manager, BOC, said: "BOC is proud to be working with Exelby as a partner on this important, environmentally friendly alternative to diesel. Our partnership with Exelby further demonstrates BOC's long-term commitment to play an active part in the transition to low-carbon transport. This is the first part of our plan to provide LNG on-road fuelling across the UK's HGV road network."

NEW YORK, July 27 (UPI) -- An atheist group says it has filed suit to remove the "World Trade Center Cross" from the Sept. 11 museum in New York City.
The 20-foot cross, also called the "Ground Zero Cross," is formed by steel beams found in that shape in the wreckage following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. It now stands on a pedestal at Ground Zero at the National Sept. 11th Memorial & Museum.
The group, American Atheists, says the cross violates the separation of church and state if it's included in the museum, other philosophies should be represented as well, the Christian Broadcasting Network reported.
"As a public accommodation, the memorial must allow us (and all other religious philosophies) to include our own display of equal size inside the museum, or not include the cross," American Atheists President Dave Silverman said in a release, CBN reported.
"This is another pathetic attempt to rewrite the Constitution and rewrite history by removing a symbol that has deep meaning and serves as a powerful remembrance to that fateful attack nearly 10 years ago," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law and Justice.
Sekulow said the ACLJ is filing a friend of the court brief in the case.

PLANO Plano police said Tuesday that Melinda Lynn Muniz, 25, has been arrested and charged with capital murder in the suffocation death of her fiance's daughter.
Investigators say Muniz staged a break-in to deflect suspicion.
Two-year-old Grace Lillian Ford was found unconscious in a crib with her mouth covered with duct tape at an apartment Muniz shared with fiance Mitch Ford in the 1500 block of J Place on January 9, according to an arrest affidavit.
Muniz was found on the floor of another room with her mouth taped shut and her pants pulled down.
The affidavit states that Muniz told police she had been sexually assaulted by an unknown male. But investigators said her story of an assault had holes.
Detectives said information about her activities the day of her alleged assault conflicted and that her story about the alleged attack was 'inconsistent.'
Medical tests failed to corroborate her claim of a sexual assault.
'What was reported to us that had taken place, there was not any way that could have happened,' Plano police spokesman David Tilley said.
The couple had been fighting over text messages and a topless video on Muniz' cell phone that Mr. Ford believed she had sent to a personal trainer, and Ford had told Muniz they were going to break up when he left for work on Jan. 9.
Grace was pronounced dead on January 12, and the child's death was ruled a homicide on January 22 by the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office.
Police uncovered surveillance video showing that Muniz went to a nearby dollar store on Jan. 9 and had Grace riding in the shopping cart as she purchased duct tape, zip ties, kitchen shears, and cotton swabs just hours before police were called to her apartment.
'She took the child with her to purchase the items that she was going to use during the commission of the crime,' Tilley said. 'Clearly premeditated.'
On Jan. 10, Muniz told investigators she had memory loss, 'could not remember the last couple of months and said her memory should come back in a couple of days,' according to the affidavit.
Mitch Ford told police he met with Muniz despite the fact he was advised not to by police and his attorneys on Jan. 15. He said Muniz continued to act as if she did not recognize him. He questioned her about her claims of amnesia in his car, and later had drinks with her at a restaurant in McKinney where she continued to act as if she didn't remember the last year-and-a-half, Ford told police.
The affidavit states Mr. Ford told police later that night he and Muniz had sex in his car down the street from her house, and as she left, she asked him if anything was going to happen to her. He said he told her Grace had died, but did not give her specific information.
Muniz was being held at the Plano City Jail on $1 million bond.
Grace Ford's family did not want to go on camera to discuss Tuesday's developments, but they issued this written statement:
'God will make sure justice is served to the fullest. What this monster did is as evil as it can get. There is no excuse.'
CPS was called to the home on July 20, 2013, Nov. 1, 2013, and Dec. 19, 2013. CPS confirmed the allegations, but was unable to confirm any abuse. A spokesperson said revisiting is common to determine if anything was missed.
According to the affidavit, Grace's grandfather contacted Child Protective Services two days before the incident at Muniz' apartment asking them to reopen the case, and that a pattern of abuse had begun when Muniz and Ford moved in together.
The 2-year-old's mother, Emily Ward, did not want to speak on camera but said she hopes her daughter's murder will bring change that 'forces CPS to better protect children.' Ward said she accused Muniz of rough handling of her daughter and inflicting bruises in the past, as well as intentionally overdosing the girl with Bendryl.
'CPS has been called in three times since July; that raises a red flag for anyone reading the story, I'm sure,' said Gracie's aunt, Stephanie Beltran. 'Unfortunately, CPS didn't protect Grace. Absolutely [more should have been done]. I think we're all angry about that.'
CPS is conducting a review of this case.

Basin, Western Fuels win 345 million in BNSF rate case
The federal agency that regulates railroads has awarded $345 million in damages and rate reductions to cooperatives in Bismarck and Denver in a rate case against BNSF Railway.
The Surface Transportation Board said it is the single-largest award the board has given to a so-called captive shipper -- one that is forced to rely on a railroad that has no competition.
Wednesday's decision was unanimous and bipartisan, board Chairman Charles Nottingham said in a statement. He said it shows the commitment to "strong regulatory oversight over the freight rail market when necessary to protect captive shippers from monopoly pricing."
Bismarck-based Basin Electric Power Cooperative and Denver-based Western Fuels Association Inc. filed the complaint in October 2004, saying BNSF had doubled the shipping rates for hauling coal to a Wyoming power plant owned by Basin that provides power for people in nine states.
BNSF said in a statement Wednesday that the railroad "believes that the rates in question that it has charged the shipper are reasonable from both a market and regulatory perspective," and that it will "pursue all legal remedies."
The railroad said the Surface Transportation Board in the fall of 2007 determined the BNSF rates were reasonable, then revised its rules and allowed Basin and Western Fuels to submit a reconfigured case. An STB spokesman did not return a call late Wednesday seeking comment.
The board ordered BNSF to reimburse Basin and Western Fuels $100 million for overcharges from 2004 through 2008. The Fort Worth, Texas-based railroad also must lower its transportation rates by about 60 percent and keep them lowered through 2024.
"The ultimate beneficiaries of this decision are consumers," Nottingham said. "Those customers have been bearing the burden of these unreasonably high transportation rates in their monthly electric bills, a burden they should no longer be forced to bear."
Western Fuels provides coal to the Wyoming plant, which producers power for people in North Dakota, South Dakota, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming.
"It's obviously very good news that (the board) realized that we have been a captive shipper, and we are very pleased with its decision," Basin spokesman Daryl Hill said. "This has been going on a number of years, but STB obviously took a good hard look at that, did a lot of analysis and came up with what we feel is a very good decision."
Hill said there could be an appeal and any details on refunds would depend on "how the appeal process goes."
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., an outspoken opponent of what he says is monopoly pricing by railroads, said the ruling "represents a turning point" in the battle against unfair rates.
"It's just been almost impossible to win a rate case with the Surface Transportation Board," Dorgan said.
Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., who has helped introduce legislation to strip antitrust exemption from railroads, said more reform is needed.
"While this case is a significant victory, it also illustrates how impossible it is for an average ratepayer to even bring a case, no matter how flagrant the rating practices of the railroad," he said. "It took over 1,000 days and millions of dollars in court costs for Basin to fight the unfair rates they were being charged."

Does anyone have the site that sells the paper hexes for the flower garden pattern? I know I saw it someplace the other day and now can't find it. Thanks.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Does anyone have the site that sells the paper hexes for the flower garden pattern? I know I saw it someplace the other day and now can't find it. Thanks.
I did GFG with paper piecing several years ago and purchased mine from someplace in the state of Washington. Forgot where. But if you google English Paper Piecing you get lots of hits with places to purchase the hexes. Its a nice take along project to do. Finally finsihed mine and hand quilted it.
Thank you suebee, that's the site I was looking for.
You are very welcome. I need to get back to my GFG. Sometimes I get bored and move on to something else, but Ive got enough done that I can start putting them together, maybe thats what I will do. Its a great project to do while watching TV with Hubby.. btw...I love their site. Lots of pics too enjoy and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Why don't you try making your own. That's what I do. I find the size of hexagon I want and then make several copies of it. Then I cut squares of freezer paper a little larger than the hexagon and make stacks of about 5 or 6 squares. Place one of your printed hexagons on top of each stack and staple through them all right in the middle. Now cut out the hexagon through all layers, remove the staple, and there you go. You can easily cut through that few layers and the staple in the middle keeps them from shifting. Plus you've saved some cash that can be used for more fabric!
There is no snooze button on a hungry cat!

RACINE - Police are looking for whoever vandalized two dozen gravestones at a Racine cemetery.
The damage at Mound Cemetery was discovered Monday. Police believe the vandalism happened sometime over the weekend.
Some of the stones date back to the 1880s, but cemetery officials say parts of the property are even older.
"The cemetery is actually between one and three thousand years old," said cemetery supervisor Steve Bedard, "and gets its name from the Mound Indians that were in this area at one time."
Monte Osterman owns a granite and marble business in town. He said when he saw the fractured tablets and overturned headstones, he thought of the work that went into these monuments.
"There is some significant craftsmanship in this," said Osterman, "probably for one guy, about four weeks of work just in that one piece and it was done in a time when the tools and technology did not exist to be able to do it the way we can today."
The city owns the cemetery. Officials say they don't know who will pay for the repairs.
Bedard says he is trying to contact relatives to let them know about the vandalism.

PORTSMOUTH — RiverRun Bookstore welcomes author Amy Grace Loyd to read from and discuss her debut novel, The Affairs of Others, on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m.
About the author:
Loyd is an executive editor at Byliner, Inc. and was the fiction and literary editor at Playboy magazine. A recipient of both MacDowell and Yaddo fellowships, she lives in Brooklyn, New York.
About the book:
Five years after her young husband's death, Celia Cassill has moved from one Brooklyn neighborhood to another, but she has not moved on. The owner of a small apartment building, she has chosen her tenants for their ability to respect one another's privacy. Celia believes in boundaries, solitude, that she has a right to her ghosts. She is determined to live a life at a remove from the chaos and competition of modern life. Everything changes with the arrival of a new tenant, Hope, a dazzling woman of a certain age on the run from her husband's recent betrayal. When Hope begins a torrid and noisy affair, and another tenant mysteriously disappears, the carefully constructed walls of Celia's world are tested and the sanctity of her building is shattered — through violence and sex, in turns tender and dark. Ultimately, Celia and her tenants are forced to abandon their separate spaces for a far more intimate one, leading to a surprising conclusion and the promise of genuine joy.
Loyd investigates interior spaces of the body and the New York warrens in which her characters live, offering a startling emotional honesty about the traffic between men and women. The Affairs of Others is a story about the irrepressibility of life and desire, no matter the sorrows or obstacles.
RiverRun Bookstore is located at 142 Fleet St. in downtown Portsmouth. The store hosts more than 100 events each year. For details, call 603-431-2100 or visit www.riverrunbookstore.com.

Using the raw (unpasteurised) milk produced by our goats, we make a soft cheese (Stawley), a hard cheese (Wellesley) and fresh goat's curd. Production is seasonal, from when the goats kid in February until early December, when they (and we) get a rest until kidding begins again.
Our cheeses are made using the evening and morning milk. The evening milk is ripened overnight with specific cultures and, once combined with the morning milk, is fed down to the dairy by gravity to minimise agitation. We use traditional animal rennet in all of our cheeses.
Stawley is a soft goat's cheese named after the village that we live in. The curd is formed slowly over 24 hours, and ladled by hand into small, cylindrical moulds. The cheeses are then drained, salted and moved between dry and humid environments to allow the cheese to develop its texture, rind and flavours. It can be eaten young from ten days old, when it has mild, creamy, lactic flavour, or matured for four to six weeks, to produce a more complex cheese with a firmer texture.
Wellesley, our hard cheese, is named after the Duke who took his title from our local town, Wellington. Unlike Stawley, the curd is formed quickly, cut into small pieces, drained and then placed into large, circular moulds. Once the cheese has been salted, it is left to mature for up to six months. We turn the cheeses regularly during this period, tasting them to monitor their development; once they have developed nutty, sweet flavours and a firm texture, they are ready to eat.

A lack of transmission lines makes wind farming an iffy crop
Jonathan Fahey
A new drilling technology is opening up vast fields of previously out-of-reach oil in the western United States. This new drilling is expected to raise U.S. production by at least 20 percent over the next five years. And within 10 years, it could help reduce oil imports by more than half.

The genius of Jane Austen novels is in their ability to be at once both light-hearted, coming of age romances and biting satires of social customs. Northanger Abbey, the first full-length composition from Austen, is a perfect example of this. Performed here by the captivating veteran Flo Gibson Northanger Abbey is partly the story of young Catherine and her social rise, which includes a trip to Bath and the meeting and falling for of young Henry Tilney, and partly Austen's hilarious parody of the gothic novels which had been held in such high regard during her time.
Clever young Catherine so desperately wishes to "improve" upon her life that she imagines the worst when she is invited to Northanger Abbey, the country home of the Tilney family. Her imagination gets the better of her when she begins to believe she has discovered in the Abbey all the trappings of a gothic novel. Jane Austen slyly parodies the potboiler genre and skewers the obsession with manners of the day.
(P)1989 by Recorded Books, Inc.
"perhaps another version..."
I've never met a Jane Austen novel I didn't love. Mark Twain has nothing on her in the realm of satire. I only wish I knew more about the period, I'm sure I would find the novels even more comical. Flo Gibson is not the narrator for Jane Austen, though. Her voice is quite gravelly. This would work nicely with quite a number of novels, but does not lend itself to the smooth tones which would seem more natural for the many young women who populate and are the main characters for Austen's novels. It was often very difficult to determine which character was being voiced, a problem I have not had with other Austen narraters.

I have just joined and I am enjoying the site, the pictures, encouragement and commaraderie. However I do need a little help understanding all of the acronyms you use. So far, the only three I understand are: WIP, UFO and DIL (Work In Progress, Unfinished Object and Daughter in Law).
Would it be possible to get a link or some other kind of assistance to the rest of them. I don't text so any help with this would be very appreciated.

After experiencing multiple losses, with three of them sudden and traumatic, I had become overwhelmed with grief, anxiety, depression and PTSD. I was referred to Samaritan Counseling by my pastor. I called them and spoke to a kind and understanding person who set me up with one of their therapists. Casey K. called me and spoke with me over the phone to determine my needs and to set up our first meeting. She emailed me forms to fill out before I arrived. I liked her efficiency. Having never been in counseling before I didn't know what to expect. Casey was very professional yet very caring and warm and friendly. She earned my trust right away. I felt confident in sharing my grief and pain with her. I wasn't sure she could fix me because I felt so broken, but over several months of meeting with Casey, I have been restored to a new and improved self. Casey gave me insights into how I got to the point I had let myself get to. She taught me to express my feelings and emotions and not to let them build up as was my habit in the past. I learned about mindfulness and being present in the moment. I've learned to open up and share with friends. I'm confident now that if life throws me another curve ball in the future, I will be able to step up to the plate and hit it right out of the park. Thanks to Casey K and Samaritan Counseling Center.
This is probably the best organization I have ever been involved with. The resoource it provides to the people in this area is second to none. Everyone associated with the organization is totally committed to helping individuals regardless of their financial status. The combinatin of professional counseling with the Christian faith based element provides the total package. Great people; great organization;great support!
A great organization who really care about people in need of counseling. Always meeting the needs of individuals and families so that the can go forward in life with the skills that are given them during counseling. The staff is fantastic and very professional.
Samaritan Counseling Center is a wonderful resource for people in southwestern PA. The staff is extremely professional and caring. I love that the counseling and educational programs use the resources of faith. The holistic approach to achieve spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being just makes sense. The pre-marriage counseling is definitely something I will encourage my children to participate in. Having the Client AId fund available to assist financially relieves stress at a time when people are already struggling.

Women Still Can't Have It All
Five of my female Facebook friends had posted the article in a span of about two hours. The headline, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," stared at me, daring me to respond.
Read it, first. Then come back here. Go ahead, take the half-hour (it's a long one). Read the WHOLE thing.
OK, so there are some good points in there, right? If you want to be a political power player in Washington, D.C., forcing you to live long-distance from your husband and children, maaaaybe you're not going to be the happiest person ever. Maybe you can't "have it all."
But why is that the question to begin with? Why does this topic of conversation perennially rear it's head to make women feel like they're not doing it right? And why is the question never asked of men?


text: Balmorhea (Bal-more-ay) is a band from Austin, Texas, United States. Formed in 2006 by Rob Lowe and Michael Muller, members also include Aisha Burns (violin), Kendall Clark (percussion), Dylan Rieck (cello), and Travis Chapman (double bass). The band has produced five full-length albums, including the recent release Stranger, which was released in October 2012 followed by a 5-week North American Tour in its support. A full European tour is slated for March/April of 2013. Inceptually influenced by the band's namesake, a tiny West Texas town of 500 people, Balmorhea's early work reflected motifs of the American Southwest: the folklore of Texas settlers, the emotive proclamations of the mountainous setting, and intimate studies on solitude, nature, and night. Slowly adding more members to the band over the years, including a string section and full percussion, Balmorhea's rich and layered music continues to be simultaneously concise and complex, uniting a collection of ideas, textures, and sounds into one genre-defying landscape. Balmorhea, called "an exemplary experiment in restraint" by The New Yorker, has toured the US and Europe five times each, including shows with Fleet Foxes, Mono, Tortoise, Bear in Heaven, Sharon Van Etten, Damien Jurado, Here We Go Magic, and others. Additionally the band has performed at Austin City Limits Music Festival, SXSW, Fun Fun Fun Fest, and the Hopscotch Festival. Their music has been featured and reviewed by Pitchfork, MOJO, NME, Time Out New York, Drowned in Sound, NPR, and many more. Official website.Make Balmorhea Playlist

I've bought this several times. The ice tea is very good. My only problem is with the container: I wish the neck of the container was a bit wider as I prefer to measure the mix with a measuring spoon rather than pouring the mix into the lid, but it's tricky to get your hand down the container.
