It just gets better
Reviewer's Bias*
The Story So Far...
The Show
That frees up the show to do basically whatever they want with the characters, as long as there's a reference to football here and there. So instead of having to sit around watching these guys drool over stats or drink beer while watching Sunday's games, we get to watch them argue over who runs more bizarrely, Ruxin (Nick Kroll) or Andre (Paul Scheer). Yes, they do talk alot about which player to select, and the first episode is mainly about the draft (this year organized by Andre in Las Vegas) but that doesn't stop the show from focusing on the people in the show, whether it's Kevin (Stephen Rannazzisi) and Jenny (Katie Aseton) trying to co-exist as spouses and league competitors, or Pete (Mark Duplass) struggling with the fact that he's dating Kevin's ex (and that she still thinks fondly of a certain part of Kevin.)
As the show drops into high gear this year, perfecting the voice and tone, and mastering the skill of juggling several stories at once and having them all pay off, with the penultimate "Kegel the Elf" being a work of comedy art, the main problem from season one becomes even more obvious, and that's the Seinfeldian creation of too-clever words and phrases for universal parts of life. The cast and crew have done such a tremendous job of crafting a realistic group of friends (even with some of the wackiness they get involved in) that to drop terms like "rosterbating" or "fear boner" in as if they are completely natural is borderline insulting, especially when they almost always explain what the term means after using it as if it was as common as the word "the." It's a testament to how good this show is that it can overcome such overreaches at creating laughs.
The Discs
The Quality
The audio is presented via DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks that are pretty much the same as last season's. The series is pretty much entirely about dialogue, so there's not a whole lot to work with aurally. The center channel tackles the majority of the presentation, though there's an occasional off-camera sound effect in the side speakers.
The Extras
"The Joy of Painting Stuff" is over six minutes of more proof that Scheer may be the funniest man working today. Playing off the Kluneberg painting in the fourth episode, Scheer channels Bob Ross as he paints a knock-off of the work, complete with utter inappropriate commentary. Less enjoyable is El Notario, a five-minute stretching of the notary public runner in the fifth episode that's only saved by an appearance by Ruxin (Kroll.) There's even more Taco to watch in the "Taco Tones Productions Presents" collection, which includes a longer cuts of Taco and Chad Ochocinco's "I'm Inside Me" (featuring Andre), and Taco's Naginta song, the full video from Ruxin and Sofia's wedding and the music video for Taco's "Vinegar Strokes." The Ruxin video is especially appreciated, as there are some details you might miss when it is shown during the episode.
Like the previous set, there's a nine-minute gag reel, which does have some definite laughs (unlike many recent gag reels I've watched) and fortunately, the "Alt Nation" featurette also returns, offering up eight minutes of alternate takes from the show's improvisation, which makes for plenty of laughs, with Scheer and Mantzoukas taking home the prize for best alt performances. This could be three times as long and probably could only get better.
The Bottom Line


text:
Czech Republic
The Team
The Czechs were hit-and-miss in qualifying, but still finished two points ahead of Germany. They lost at home to the Germans, but then won 3-0 in Munich with a weakened team, albeit after their hosts had already qualified. It is still unclear whether the Czech Republic are in decline or rising.
The Coach: Karel Bruckner
Will stand down following Euro 2008 after more than a decade within Czech camp. Though 68, still able to get his tactical ideas through to young players, many of whom have come through after he led under-21s to European title in 2002. Guided senior side to Euro 2004 semi-finals.
Player to watch: Marek Jankulovski
(Milan, age 31, 62 caps, 10 goals)
Just named Czech player of the year, finishing ahead of Petr Cech, underlining his ability. A pacy left-back who can get forward into scoring positions as the Republic of Ireland discovered to their cost. Missed a chunk of season following knee surgery. Euro 2008 will be his fourth major tournament.
The absence of Tomas Rosicky as the creative force in midfield could be significant for the country who, as Czechoslovakia, were winners in 1976, and as an independent state, were runners-up 20 years later. "Success would be qualification from the group phase," coach Bruckner says. "Anything else would not do."
Prediction: Second in Group A, but lose to Germany in quarter-finals.
The Team
Failure to win Euro 2004 at home led to pessimism among fans, and erratic qualifying performances – six draws in 14 games in scraping second place – backs this up. The retirements of Luis Figo, Costinha and Pauleta have weakened them, and the team rely too much on inspiration of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Coach: Luiz Felipe Scolari
Unimpressive as a player, the 59-year-old made his name coaching domestically in Brazil before taking over national team in 2001, leading them to World Cup title the following year. A strong disciplinarian, he then guided Portugal to Euro 2004 final, and 2006 World Cup semi-final. Leaves post after this tournament.
Player to watch: Cristiano Ronaldo
(Manchester United, Age 23, 55 caps, 20 goals)
Just finished a stupendous season with Champions League and Premier League winners' medals, as well as retaining both writers' and peers' player of year awards. Continues to improve, and has arguably the best all-round game in the world: strong on the ball, powerful in the air and scoring for fun.
Portugal were finalists last time in a tournament they should have won, and finished fourth at 2006 World Cup. With retirements and loss of form, they are not team they were. Nonetheless, Scolari says: "I think we can reach the final, even though that will involve beating some very difficult opponents."
Prediction: Group A winners, but will lose in semi-finals to Germany.
The Team
Qualified as co-hosts, and their record in friendly internationals since going out of 2006 World Cup on penalties to Ukraine, is not impressive. Injuries to main defenders and midfielders have disrupted their plans, and they will rely heavily on a strict zonal defence in which Arseanl's Philippe Senderos is key.
The Coach: Jakob Kuhn
Switzerland's first home-grown coach since 1989 when elevated after a dozen years in charge of national youth sides in 2001. A skilful midfielder with Zurich, he played in the 1966 World Cup finals. The 64-year-old perfectionist, renown for his dry sense of humour, will retire after the Euro 2008 finals.
Player to watch: Alexander Frei
(Borussia Dortmund, Age 28, 59 caps, 35 goals)
Switzerland's all-time top scorer after two goals in Euro 2008 warm-up win against Liechtenstein. Cleared of spitting at Steven Gerrard during Euro 2004, he is the team's captain and their main, if not only, source of goals. Just returned after long injury absence, and lacks match fitness at present.
Failed to win a game when they qualified for 1996 and 2004 finals. Opening match against Czech Republic will be important to home hopes in tournament. "A spot in the quarter-finals is the absolute minimum," Kuhn says. "I don't want to contemplate playing three games and then leaving the competition."
Prediction: Bottom of Group A.
The Team
Won first four qualifying games, including 4-1 victory in Athens, but only regained initiative when beat rivals Norway in penultimate game to finish seven points adrift of Greece. They are suspect in defence, and have dropped experienced striker Hakan Suker, which will put the goalscoring burden on Nihat Kahveci.
The Coach: Fatih Terim
In his first spell as Turkey coach he led them to Euro 96. Returned to Galatasaray, who won Uefa Cup against Arsenal in 2000, then on to Fiorentina and, unhappily and briefly, Milan. The 54-year-old 'Emperor', renown for his leadership qualities, took up the national post again in summer 2005.
Player to watch: Tuncay Sanli
(Middlesbrough, Age 26, 54 caps, 16 goals)
Versatile attacker who can play on either wing, most regularly and noticeably on the left, or up front. Has boundless energy, irrepressible flair, and outstanding skill on the ball. Incredibly popular at previous club Fenerbahce, he has shown in glimpses at Middlesbrough what he is capable of producing.
Quarter-finalists in 2000, and third-placed at 2002 World Cup, this is their first major tournament since. There is a lack of experience about the Suker-less squad, though. "We will try and go as far as we can so that our country will be happy with our success," Terim says.
Prediction: Third in Group A.

The warm-up today for my students was to reflect on and write about an MLK quote I had on the board. I had also written "Happy (belated) MLK Day!" because this was our first day back since Monday. A student raised his hand and asked, "What's milk day?" I played along with the joke and made some kind of remark about how we should all bring in a quarter for our little cartons of milk, and we could have snack time, and...

Baby Butt Cheeks
When we lived in Seattle, we paid top dollar to be able to watch the sun rise over Lake Union from our tiny one bedroom apartment. It really was breathtakingly beautiful and one of those kinds of views you don't take for granted, even seeing it day after day.
It turns out that the best things in life are free, though. One of my favorite things in life is the view I now get of some tiny little butt cheeks sprinting from the nursery to the tub when it's bath time.
"My blessings are in front of me, it's not about the land
I'll never beat the view from my front porch looking in
I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in, not when I'm looking out
'Cause anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away like my front porch looking in."
From the Seattle sunrises to the St. Louis moons, we have been so richly blessed.
Thank you, baby butt cheeks, you made my day.

Neighbor on the Payroll
I should be excited that I had a Snow Day today instead of having to go back from break. The truth is that I have four hours worth of professional development to facilitate tomorrow and a penchant for Lifetime movies when I'm at home sitting on the couch, so I ended up going into work for a few hours anyway.
When I got home, I decided that the driveway wasn't going to shovel itself. I also thought Tom would be pleasantly surprised if I took care of it, and he might even make me some hot chocolate with little marshmallows as a reward (he did, by the way, after I asked him nicely).
I made the mistake of not wearing any head covering, as my hair was piled up in a rushed hot mess from this morning. As I was nearing the end of the driveway and the conclusion that my ears would freeze off and I would have to live without them, my neighbor from across the road came out. He hollered a hello, and I quickly greeted him with a frozen smile. He pulled up to our driveway in his truck and slowly rolled his window down.
"Now I really see why he married you!"
I finished with a grin and an extra spring in my step (as much as you can "spring" in snow, I suppose).
I remember a similar incident to this from a few years ago where I got a "You go girl!" from our self- proclaimed "Mobsta" neighbor. It must be that it's cheaper for Tom to keep the neighbors on the payroll than it is for him to pay someone to come shovel while he's gone. ;)
Thank you, neighbor on the payroll, you made my day.

Level 17, then got bored.
It's new, it's interesting, it's easy.
It's also quite boring.
It actually took me this long to realise the targets were getting smaller, and for some reason there were so many targets that my accuracy bonus was always above 130%.
Odd, that.
Revamp it, redraw it, recreate it, reprogram it, resound it, and you'll have an excellent little piece of challenge.
This, however, was enjoy for about forty seconds and forty seconds only.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Rather ok
This game is a bit weird but it just comes down to rapidly "finding" some large orbs. The problem is that the orbs are too large, making it easy. Otherwise quite fun
Rated 1 / 5 stars
I have no idea how I found out how to play. For those that are stuck just click on all the circles. You have to search for them. Now this game got boring really fast and was just too easy. You also should have instructions for people who can't find out what to do. There needs to be more variety. Also you can create diffuclty by starting the clock at the beginning and make the circles smaller and more spaced out. There just isn't enough variety to make someone keep on playing.
Around level 20+ the circles start to spread out, and it gets a lot more difficult!
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
its lame
don't see any point in this game
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars
really boring. bored at level 20 so i quit. Add some music. also add instructions lost point on the green thing because i thoughtr i was supposed to click it.

'From Humble Beginnings': Library Exhibit Celebrates 125 Years at USU
Thursday, Mar. 07, 2013
Utah State University celebrates its 125th anniversary this year, and Founders Day activities March 8 officially kick off the celebration. From its humble beginnings, Utah State has grown over the years to emerge as one of the nations respected and leading land-grant institutions.
To celebrate the birthday and recognize the university's accomplishments over the decades, USU's University Libraries has assembled an exhibit that showcases prominent but, perhaps, not well-known students through the decades.
The exhibit features photos of the select students and views of campus through the decades. Ten students, representing decades from the 1890s to the 1990s, are highlighted. Accomplishments range from the land to space and from business to the arts.
Extensive narratives on each student are included in the exhibit that can be seen at the Merrill-Cazier Library's atrium now through March 27. The exhibit is free and open to everyone.
From artists to Olympic athletes and international irrigation experts to a community activist, the students' accomplishments are impressive. And while many could have been recognized, University Libraries shares the accomplishments of 10 students who got their start at Utah State University. By graduation date, those highlighted in the exhibit include Thomas Hyrum Humphreys (1897), Luther M. Winsor (1911), Mignon Barker Richmond (1921), Edward P. Cliff (1931), L. Tom Perry (1949), L. Jay Sylvester (1958), W. Brent Robinson (1966), Mary Cleave (1975, 1980), Norah Abdullah Al-Faiz (1982) and Russell Case (1990).
Narratives for the exhibit were written by University Archivist Bob Parson and the exhibit was designed by Kristin Heal.

On the Exclusion of Assets from Tests of the Mean Variance Efficiency of the Market Portfolio
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): SHMUEL KANDEL
- Published: Apr 30, 2012
- Pages: 63-75
- DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-6261.1984.tb03860.x
This paper presents an analysis of the testability of the mean variance efficiency of a market index when the returns on some components of the index itself are not perfectly observable. The results are basically not supportive of the notion that mean variance efficiency is testable on a subset of the assets. Bounding the market share of the missing asset and its expected return is not sufficient to produce a valid test. When the variance of the missing asset is bounded, and the amount of wealth that might be missing is small, it is possible, in principle, to reject correctly the mean variance efficiency of a market index.

Some teasers for episode 8.15 - P.S. I Love You
"Robin is Canadian and this episode is about her life as Robin Sparkles and how it became what it is now. It shows how she publicly dismantled herself at the halftime show of the Grey Cup. The whole thing is designed as a mockumentary, which also involves some Canadian television stars like Allan Think and Paul Shafer. And because I'm also a little famous in Canada, I was able to be in it as well. The episode is just phenomenal and it was a lot of fun to shoot it."

CNN's Chris Morris Talks about E3
Subject: Shows and Expos | April 7, 2005 - 10:16 AM | Ryan Shrout
I've had the pleasure of meeting Chris Morris a couple of times and I can tell that even though he works for the mainstream media, he knows his stuff. In this weeks edition of "Game Over" he discusses the implications of this year's E3 show.
The new consoles will get the lion's share of the spotlight, for obvious reasons. But software publishers have a few surprises up their sleeves that may shift the focus back to games by the time the show wraps up. (Before you start planning your trip, I should point out that E3 is closed to the general public. We'll have full coverage next month here at CNN/Money, though.)
Microsoft has the most riding on this year's show. On Monday, two days before E3 officially begins, the company will finally take the wraps off of its next generation Xbox (which will almost certainly be named Xbox 360). Microsoft hopes the new machine will help it unseat Sony from its long-held industry leader position, which won't be an easy feat.

Suri Cruise's 7th birthday is today, but she already celebrated it with her famous daddy Tom Cruise.
While promoting his new flick Oblivion on On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday, the 50-year-old revealed he honored his little girl's special day."I take care of the kids early," admitted the action star, who has two adopted children — son Conor and daughter Isabella — from his previous relationship with Nicole Kidman. "You got to plan ahead for these things. It's all celebrated and all done."
Though he wouldn't share exactly what they did, he did admit to indulging in some tasty treats. "I'll eat cake, cupcakes," the fit actor said. "I eat all that stuff!"
Just four days ago, the daddy-daughter duo were spotted enjoying some quality time together as they hung out together at a park in Westchester, N.Y. — perhaps that was part of the celebration.
As for what she'll get into today, it's likely mom Katie Holmes has some exciting and fun things planned!

I used to dread the holiday season. This year will be different.
Every year as the excitement intensified around Thanksgiving and Christmas I became more unhinged. When I was single and living in the city I spent most holidays alone with a homemade dinner in front of my television set. On one occasion, when I happened to have a relationship, my boyfriend's Mom told him I was not welcome at her dinner table because of the color of my skin. I spent that Christmas with a couple we met earlier that year.
During college years when most students travelled to visit family I stayed on campus in my room working. On the rare occasion when I was invited to visit a friend's family or a distant relative I was present only in body. No one knew how disconnected I felt from the festive activities around me. This went on for years until a few holiday seasons ago.
It was not always like this.
When I was a kid growing up in the Caribbean I embraced and enjoyed the holidays. My father was gone for most of the time during those early years but I had my Mom and younger brother to share wonderful and warm holiday moments together. I remember the excitement we felt as the big day approached. We waited and watched everyday for the mailman to bring money, or a postal ticket, to pick up the parcel my father mailed to us from abroad.
When Christmas arrived my brother and I bounced out of bed to make a beeline for the tree. My Mom's cooking and baking wafted through the house overpowered by the spicy aroma of homemade sorrel. In those days we wished to just go straight to Christmas without any other days in between. The day unraveled slowly as we were forced to attend church before we could play with all the amazing toys and incredible books piled under the tree. Those days are long gone.
By the time I hit my teens my family life was beyond repair and Christmas was just another day off. The ritual and warmth of family was mostly gone because of a broken home. I never recovered from those later years and came to dread the holiday as it approached. By the time I got married I was set in my ways. My husband, who is an ardent fan of the holidays, was shocked when the first Christmas in our new home with our newborn, found me curled up in bed for hours as he toiled over the stove.
This holiday season is different because the recent thanksgiving blackout brought me back full circle to appreciating this time of year. Our electricity went out for almost three full days forcing me to engage. I had to take care of my family instead of shutting myself away. Instead, since my husband was stuck on cooking the chicken the traditional way, I cooked the whole bird on the stove top with a Caribbean flair. When it was done we all sat down and had an amazing meal using our iPhone flashlights to see our plates. I cleaned my refrigerator and sewing box as I taught my daughter how to make a hem.
I have embraced the holidays once again in my life. Finally, I understand what the fuss is about: The holiday season is a time to spend with family and friends, to reflect, share and give of self to those less fortunate.
It feels good.
Happy holidays and a Happy New Year to all!
Let's Chat!
For many, the holidays are less than holly-jolly. It's important to listen to your heart and respect your feelings: find your own way to celebrate the season in whatever way makes YOU feel happy, connected, and peaceful.

SAN DIEGO - A 20-year-old man who pleaded guilty to attempted pimping for his role in a ring that lured teenage girls into becoming prostitutes was sentenced Wednesday to 270 days in jail.
Darren Lee Halton was part of a ring called "Pimp'n Ho's Daily," which operated for about four years in San Diego.
The ringleader, Dante Dears, was sent to prison last month for nearly five years for pimping and kidnapping.
The teenagers thought they were dating Dears when he was actually grooming them to be prostitutes, prosecutor David Hendren said.
A 17-year-old girl testified that Dears forced her into the trunk of his car and drove around in May 2003 because she had stopped working the streets.
Halton was "certainly a (ring) member," Hendren said, but played "not as extensive a role as Dears."

Call it a riot. Call it a protest. For the Oakland Police Department and 31 other police agencies involved in crowd control on the night former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle was sentenced to prison for fatally shooting an unarmed black man, it's going to be called a lawsuit.
A group of demonstrators corraled by police on the night of Nov. 4 were arrested without a warning to disperse and spent a night in Alameda County jail without ever being charged with a crime, according to attorney Rachel Lederman. Some of the 150 protesters arrested were held on a bus for up to six hours where they were forced to urinate on themselves for a lack of bathrooms, according to the Bay Area News Group.
Lederman has filed claims, which precede a lawsuit, against 32 police agencies involved in crowd control activities the night Mehserle was sentenced to prison for killing Oscar Grant on New Year's Day 2009, including the Oakland Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Alameda County Sheriff's Department, and the San Francisco Police Department.
Riots also broke out in Oakland in July 2010, when Mehserle was convicted of manslaughter, not murder, for mistaking his firearm for his Taser.
Representatives from the outside police agencies assisting Oakland on Nov. 4 say that their officers were not under their control, and any decisions to arrest people was made by the Oakland Police Department. An Oakland Police Department spokeswoman said that the extensive media coverage would have already revealed any police misconduct.

Powerhouse Regina wins over CardinalRegina has won 47 straight games
The Comets knew that playing perennial powerhouse Iowa City Regina would test them in every way possible.
Cardinal (1-4) was not up to the challenge, and lost 51-0.
Regina has now won 47 straight games and has also won three straight state championships. It's safe to say that Cardinal was thoroughly outmatched.
Cardinal's top rusher Tyler Albert only managed three yards on the ground. Regina made it difficult for the Comets to move the football the entire night. This is the second time this season Regina has shutout an opponent.
Nathan Yeager is putting forth one of the best seasons of any defender in the area. Yeager made 13 tackles for the Comets Friday to lead the team. Mike Owings was second on the team in tackles with seven.
Cardinal will attempt to get back to winning Friday when it hosts Wilton.

Israeli Forces Demolish Palestinian Building in Beit Ommar
On the morning of Wednesday, March 9th, 2011, Israeli Forces demolished a barn belong to Mohammed Yunis Geiab Al-Alami in the Palestinian village of Beit Ommar in the southern West Bank. The Al-Alami residence is comprised of ten members of the family. The demolished structure was built 20 years ago. An Israeli military bulldozer had demolished the structure by mid-day, leaving the family stripped of an important element of their means of living.
The only explanation given to the family was that the building was too close to Route 60, the main road connecting the cities of Bethlehem and Hebron. Route 60 is currently utilized by both Palestinian and Israeli settler drivers. Three other demolition orders, all for Palestinian residences, were also handed out in the same area of Beit Ommar on Wednesday.

Best Get Your Girlfriend Back Book - What To Look For
"I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that."
Relationships often end in a whirlwind of doubt and bitter accusation. You probably said a few things you didn't mean, and she fought back. Now that you've had a little bit of time to think about what's been lost, you know you want her back. Here's how to do that.
** Tips to get your girlfriend back
** Steps to get your girlfriend back
**How to Get Your Girlfriend Back
• Girls want to see self-improvement from guys. Maybe your girlfriend complained about something you did while you two were in your relationship. Maybe there's something that you know you can improve simply because it will make you a better person. Well, now's the time to strike. Cut your video game playing down to a reasonable time, if that's what she wants, or start wearing cleaner clothes when you're around her. If you focus on being a better person while apart, you can go back to her with the "evidence" that you're a new guy.
• Recover emotionally. You don't stand a chance of getting your ex back if you're not emotionally calm and controlled. Women dislike needy, clingy, desperate men - so you need to pull your own life together before attempting to draw her back into it. Like it or not, showing her that you can deal with life on your own will attract her back to you. That's because girls like men who are self-sufficient and independent. So go out to the gym, visit the movies with friends, or start an adventure. If you're having a great time, she'll want to be there with you.
• Get some new clothes. New times call for new duds. It's a subtle change in you, but the importance will be clear to her: your new outer shell will signal deeper changes underneath. Get that new shirt that you've been wanting to buy, or those new pair of jeans. Looking sharp is an important aspect of physical attraction, and if she sees you looking great in unfamiliar clothes, she'll sense that there's been forward movement, if not wholesale change.
Get the right attitude. Getting your ex-girlfriend back starts with finding the right attitude. Girls, for the most part, want to see mature, independent guys who like to have fun and know what they're good at. We know that's a lot to work, so start small if you're feeling overwhelmed.
• Stop being jealous. Being jealous will get you nowhere. Jealousy is associated with fear and anxiety, two unattractive traits to have. Plus, what you're non-verbally telling her is that you want to control her. No one wants to be controlled. So learn to fight your jealousy if you can, and focus on being non-threatening. You'll get more bees with honey than you will with vinegar.
• Act like nothing is wrong. Even if your guts are tumbling like clothes in a washing machine, try not to let her know. She's probably not going to want you back if you're acting depressed, mopey, or sulky. Make sure you're laughing a lot and genuinely trying to have a good time. You might find that you've become a happier person along the way. If you are feeling depressed, surround yourself with friends or family. Don't wait alone in a corner and just hope for her to come back to you.

The Sound of Silence
Concerts can be soothing to the ears, but the fits and starts of practice sessions are rarely harmonious. Yamaha's new Silent Electric Cello ($2,500) helps keep neighbors and relatives of musicians from tearing their hair out by channeling nearly all sound to an internal audio receiver and computer chip, then sending it to headphones plugged into the cello. A Silent Violin is also available.

Save-as dialog freezes when browing to desktop
G'day everyone
I recently bought WD MyBookLive and I'm busy figuring out how to set it up. I'm confident that my problem has to do with the fact that I've mapped drives to the external backup drive.
My problem is this: Whenever I use the Save-as dialog and I click the "Desktop" button so that I can save to the Desktop, the dialog freezes up for a while. Sometims, the dialog itself is not frozen (i.e. I can press Cancel to dismiss it) but the display where the icons from the Desktop are supposed to appear, remains blank. Sometimes, however, both the dialog and the program from which I called it freezes. If I wait long enough, the icons appear, and I can proceed with saving the file or navigating to subfolders on my desktop.
This has only started today, after I started mapping drives. I don't think it has to do with WD's software because I had installed those yesterday and didn't notice this problem.
Thing is, even if I disconnect all my mapped drives, the Save-as dialog problem remains. Rebooting has no effect. It is as if Windows is trying to access some resource before it will show me the desktop icons, and it takes a long while for Windows to realise that it can't access that resource (or perhaps it just takes long to access it).
This does not happen to all Save-as dialogs -- only to the types of Save-as dialogs that are non-resizeable and that show the five shortcut icons on the left (Recent Places, Desktop, Libraries, Computer, Network). I can actually save a file to the Desktop immediately, but I can't see the files on the desktop (in the dialog) nor can I browse to other folders from there, until I wait a long while.
Oh, the same applies to Open-file dialogs -- the ones that look similar to the misbehaving Save-as dialogs have the same problem. If I want to open a file using such a dialog I have to wait a minute or two before the list of files display, or I can manually type in the file name and press "Open", and it will open the file.
I'm using Windows 7 HP 64-bit.
I do an awful lot of saving and opening of files, and I can't afford to take a coffee-break every time I save or open a file.
|My System Specs
|27 Nov 2012
Okay, I'm discovering more about this problem. Apparently there are more than one type of Save-as dialog with icons on the left-hand side. My PDF program's Save-As dialog has icons for Recent Places, Desktop, Libraries, Computer, and Network. That Save-as dialog doesn't freeze the program, and I can click on the other icons (e.g. I can go to Computer or Libraries), but the Desktop itself doesn't show its icons. My word processor's Save-as dialog, on the other hand, have icons for My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer and My Network Places. That dialog freezes the wordprocessor also. If I wait a minute or two, it wakes up again, and I can proceed with saving.
For the Save-as dialogs with "Libraries" as an option, I have a temporary solution: simply create a new library and put the entire desktop in it. Then I have instant access to the desktop by simply using the Library icon instead of the Desktop icon.
I have no solution for the other Save-as dialogs (the ones that don't have a Libraries icon).
|My System Specs
|27 Nov 2012
Oh, wait... I have also installed backup software this morning. I now see some extra processes running (I regularly check what processes are running) that I'm fairly certain was not there a week ago. These include vssvc.exe, searchfilterhost.exe and searchprotocolhost.exe. I wonder if these processes have anything to do with the freezes.
Added later: No, disabling all of these services has no effect.
I've also learnt that the PDF's program's save-as dialog's icons is called the "Places Bar", and that I can customise it. Customising it has no effect on my problem -- the Desktop icons don't show up. Customising the Places Bar does not change the icons on the word processor's save-as dialog, though, so that must be called something else.
|My System Specs
|27 Nov 2012
Well, I've done a system restore, defragged, cleaned, cleared, uninstalled, done stuff, etc, etc, but it would appear that this problem has nothing to do with my new external hard drive and is just something that is now the state of my computer that I must just accept. I could find no solution for it. My computer has never been so optimised and cleaned, but the save-as dialog problem remains. I'll just have to learn never to visit the desktop directly from the save-as dialog.
|My System Specs
|05 Feb 2013
Win7 prof. x64
Try to move all files and folders from your desktop to other location (i.e. c:\random_folder_name).
Worked for me. Had this problem in firefox and chrome "Save As". The freezing, however, was not full, I could press "Save" button and the file was saved normally.

Authentic Swiss village experience and decent food options a must; a hot tub after a long day of exploring a plus. Thanks for all opinions/suggestions.

What are you looking for:
Ski arena?
toboggan pists?
nordic skiing pists?
prepared winter hiking trails?
snow bike trails?
small place with only 1 skilift or so?
village with no winter sport possibilities at all?
small transport hub?
village with direct trains to Kleine Scheidegg (- Jungfraujoch)?
village on a sunny slope (like the Hasliberg villages)?
village in the shade (like Lauterbrunnen)?
Report Abuse
Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, Wengen and Murren all fit the bill of an Alpine village and experience - all smack with awesome views of the glacier-girdled high Alps that abruptly rise thousands of feet from lush green (in winter white snow-covered) valleys. You can't go wrong but Grindelwald and Laugterbrunnen, which offer very very different types of views - are easier to reach than the other two higher up villages, which are more isolated.
Report Abuse
Our interests are:
--village with charm, decent food, shops and a little night time "energy"
--convenient train to Jungfraujoch
--sunny panoramic views with prepared winter hiking trails
--easy toboggan for kids
--convenient to train to other scenic spots
And best web site for booking room(s) for 4 in the village?

IMO Grindelwald fits the bill best - especially with an apres-ski or hiking scene - Murren and Wengen can be somnolent - Lauterbrunnen has a more active night scene but not the sunny view you want as it is in a deep valley - Grindelwald sits in a huge natural amphitheatre with stirring views all around and has direct trains to Kleine Scheidegg where you have to switch to Jungfraujoch trains.
For lots of good info on Jungfrau Region and Swiss trains check out www.swisstravelsystem.com; www.budgeteuropetravel.com; www.ricksteves.com and www.seat61.com. If traveling elsewhere look at the Swiss Pass, Half-Fare Card and Swiss Card - if just going from one airport or border station to one place and staying put look at the Swiss Transfer ticket.
For trains in the Jungfrau look at the Jungfraubahn Pass or the Berner-Obverland Bahn Pass - but if traveling outside this area to other parts of Switzerland look at the Swiss Pass, Card, half-Fare Card - one of these is usually a great deal.
Report Abuse
Look, EVERY village in Switzerland is "authentic." Some people absolutely hate Grindelwald and favor places such as Murren or Wengen but wherever you go don't hold your breath waiting for some Heidi-like cartoon character to come marching by. More likely a bunch of tourists from Japan or China.

There would be tons of villages which fulfil these conditions, but there is only one of them situated along the railway line to Jungfraujoch.
The second best would be Wengen but the Grindelwald sledging pists are much better than those of Wengen.

wengen is also much more quiet or at least has a lot less 'night time energy' and that is why so many folks love it - and others like me do not - great in the day but for me boring at night - each to their own!

Agree, as usual, with PalenQ that Wengen a bit too quiet at night but don't think you could not have a fabulous time at any of these. Help on this website for our trip last month was beyond the reach of any and all guidebooks. Our 3 days in the Berner Oberland were the highlight of the trip, esp. the Ridge Walk from Mannleichen to Kleine Scheidigg which was our favorite day. That seems like it would be a great ski area.

esp. the Ridge Walk from Mannleichen to Kleine Scheidigg which was our favorite day.>
I agree on that and this is something anyone of any age can easily do - and I'd do it from the Mannlichen, taking in the sweeping views from there - putatively the finest in Switzerland and go to Kl Scheidegg in that direction as then you have the Jungfrau Massif staring you in the face the whole way.
Easy to combine with a Jungfraujoch trip as those trains leave from Kleine Scheidegg.

How to market yourself with confidence
by Aldric Chau
Movers and shakers should take charge of their own career development by building a strong personal brand
Ambitious young professionals can get ahead in their chosen industry by carefully packaging their skills and attributes and positioning themselves properly in the employment market. Three high-profile consultants shared their strategies at the School of Professional Education and Executive Development of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University's Professional Talk Series last week.
Jobseekers need to be strategic about job interviews, said Virginia Choi, managing consultant and country manager, Tamty McGill Consultants International Limited. "Before an interview, consider what your potential employer is looking for and how well you match the job requirements."
Once a jobseeker has secured a position, the next step is to map out a career plan, according to Raymond Cheung, vice president, training, Altruist Financial Group Limited.

Re: "Questions Police" (A-J, 5-17). The police response to the Levelland incident involving David Rodriguez could have been avoided. David should not have run the stop sign. David should have pulled over when the police fell in behind him with lights and sirens.
This was a stupid and senseless death. I do believe that if David had known the outcome he would have pulled right over. Misdemeanor offenses are not worth risking your life, job or family over.
A very simple rule of life is ... just do not break the law. If you do, just be prepared to pay for it up to and including your life. Do not blame the police for what we as the public instigate when we make a decision to break a law. If you cannot do the time or pay the fine, do not commit the crime.
Sorry, not much sympathy here. We all know better -- or at the least you should.

Description (Taken from Goodreads)The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud tells the haunting story of a young man who narrowly survives a terrible car wreck that kills his little brother. Years later, the brothers' bond remains so strong that it transcends the normal boundaries separating life and death. Charlie St. Cloud lives in a snug New England fishing village. By day he tends the lawns and monuments of the ancient cemetery where his younger brother, Sam, is buried. Graced with an extraordinary gift after surviving the accident, he can still see, talk, and even play catch with Sam's spirit. But townsfolk whisper that Charlie has never recovered from his loss.
Into his carefully ordered life comes Tess Carroll, a captivating, adventuresome woman training for a solo sailing trip around the globe. Fate steers her boat into a treacherous storm that blows her back to harbor, to a charged encounter with Charlie, and to a surprise more overwhelming than the violent sea itself. Charlie and Tess discover a beautiful and uncommon connection that leads to a race against time and a desperate choice between death and life, between the past and the future, between holding on and letting go.
Luminous, soulful, and filled with unforgettable characters, The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud is one of those rare, wise books that reveal the mysteries of the unseen world around us, gently transforming the worst pain of loss into hope, healing, and even laughter. Suspenseful and deeply moving, its startling climax reminds us that sometimes tragedies can bring about miracles if we simply open our hearts
"You know, that amazing feeling that you're whole, that you've got everything you want, that you aren't missing anything. Sometimes when I wake up, I get it just for a moment. It lasts a few seconds, but then I remember what happened, and how nothing has been the same since."
On the horizon, he saw the full moon. God dropped it there, he was sure, as a reminder of our small place in the world. A reminder that what is beautiful is fleeting.
That is the inescapable math of tragedy and the multiplication of grief. Too many good people die a little when they lose someone they love. One death begets two or twenty or one hundred. It's the same all over the world.
The movie adaptation, Charlie St. Cloud, starring Zac Efron is in theaters today. I plan on seeing it this weekend. Here's the trailer:

recovery on Dell 1745 Studio
I bought a Dell 1745 Studio with Windows 7 in January. I played with it and try out different programs etc - basically experimented to see what programs I wanted and didn't want. Anyway I decided to do a Recovery to Factory Image. this was 2 days ago. I updated a lot of bios, drivers etc from the Dell site but I think maybe I should of been more selective about what I updated because I am now haveing huge problems with IE freezes along with Windows 7 freezing up. So I am wondering if I could do another recovery and be a lot more selective about my updates etc. Would this use up more memory or as I was told Window 7 doesn't use up extra memory. Also I am not a gamer I use it to design quilts, watch videos, etc... Please can someone help me out - THANKYOU......VERLON56

Hi Verlon and welcome to the Forum
Before doing another restore try going to the manufacturer of the various components for driver updates rather than using the Dell site. To get a complete detailed list of all your components download and install the very good free Belarc advisor from here: Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit
This will give you all the detail you need.

Hello verlon56, welcome to Seven Forums!
I used to do what you are doing with an HP desktop and I found after trial and error (mostly error) that the "updates" that are offered by the PC manufacturer were mostly not needed at all; were I you, I'd do the factory re-install and not add any "offerings" unless it was obvious they were needed.
Be sure to post back to keep us informed.

I would certainly do what BFK suggests but I assumed that when you did the first Recovery that was when the problems occurred leading you to try the updates!
|My System Specs
|08 Jun 2010
When I did the recovery I just automatically did the updates because well just because I thought I had to I believe this was an error in judgement on my part - The other thing that I did was downloaded a system utility program from cnet.com because I thought it would help with better performance. But it might of added to the problem I now have. Another thing I wonder if you might give me some ideas on why when I turn on my laptop it takes so long for it to boot up once and even get to the logon screen and right after the logon screen? Do you think it all has to do with new recovery updates etc........Thank you for your input.............

If you start again and do a new Recovery then it should put your machine back to its' optimum. I would forget any third party software to boost performance. There are lots of things you can do to improve the speed that your machine boots up for instance by reducing the number of applications in the start up. Lets first get your machine back to its state when it left the factory and take the rest one step t a time. If you are in any doubt as to what programs you need then you probably don't need them. There is a temptation to load all sorts of stuff up onto a new machine and it just takes up valuable space, chances are you will never use 99% of it. If you are in doubt about any particular program just post here and somebody will give you the pros and cons. It would help if you filled in your System details. Download the Belarc from the link previously given and then go to your User CP right at the top of this page and click on "Edit System Spec" Fill in all the details as shown in the Belarc analysis page. Again if you have any difficulties please just post here and one of us will help.

Hello again verlon56.
After you get sorted again do as mitchell65 suggests and work on trimming the (factory installed) programs and applications that start automatically when the PC is started, the tutorial at the link below is a convenient, easily understood way of doing so, have a look and take your time as there is no hurry at all to sort it out and above all do only one change at a time with re-starts in-between to make sure they'll be no problems.
If you have any questions we'll be here, do keep us informed.

Emmitt Smith signs with Arizona
TEMPE, Ariz., March 26 (UPI) -- Emmitt Smith, pro football's all-time leading rusher, signed a two-year contract Wednesday with the Arizona Cardinals.
The Cardinals made a move to improve their stature in the league, having reached the playoffs just once since moving from St. Louis in 1988.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but Smith reportedly received nearly $8 million.
Smith, who turns 34 in May, rushed for 17,162 yards in 13 years with the Dallas Cowboys before being released on Feb. 27.
NFL leaves overtime alone
PHOENIX, March 26 (UPI) -- Overtime will remain the same in the NFL and a decision on expanding the playoff field has been put on hold.
Altering the overtime rules and increasing the postseason participants from 12 to 14 teams were the hot topics for discussion during the NFL meetings, which concluded Wednesday. But one was rejected and the other was tabled.
A proposal to give each team the ball in overtime fell seven votes shy of passing. Needing 24 of 32 votes, the overtime change received 17 votes. There were 14 votes against with the Oakland Raiders, as they often do, abstaining.
Since overtime was instituted in 1974, a coin toss has determined which team gets the ball. The club that scores first wins. Under the rejected proposal, a two-possession system would have given both teams a chance to score.
Last year, the NFL had a record 25 overtime games. Ten of those were decided on the first possession and 15 were won by the team that won the coin toss.
Adding a playoff team in each conference did not even come to a vote, but will merit further discussion in the May meetings in Philadelphia.
The NFL realigned to eight four-team divisions last season with the division winners and two wild cards in each conference advancing to the playoffs.
Tomjanovich takes leave of absence
HOUSTON, March 26 (UPI) -- Houston Rockets Coach Rudy Tomjanovich said Wednesday he is taking a leave of absence to begin treatment for cancer on his bladder.
Amid reports that he might rejoin the team for their home game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night, Tomjanovich held a news conference to announce that he will be gone indefinitely.
Larry Smith will remain the interim coach in Tomjanovich's absence.
The Rockets began play Wednesday in the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, one game ahead of the Phoenix Suns.
On March 18, Tomjanovich was diagnosed with a superficial bladder tumor that did not require surgery but does mandate once-a-week treatments. He has remained at his Houston home for much of the last week and missed the team's five-game road trip that concluded Monday.
Tomjanovich, who never had missed a regular-season game as Rockets' coach before the diagnosis, is in his 12th season as Rockets coach.
Priest Holmes has hip surgery
KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 26 (UPI) -- The Kansas City Chiefs announced Wednesday that star running back Priest Holmes had undergone hip surgery Tuesday night.
He is expected to be ready for training camp.
After visiting with a specialist in Miami, Holmes had surgery to remove soft tissue and loose fragments in his hip
"He'll be on crutches for about four weeks, but I am told he'll be able to run full speed by June and that's what we're counting on," Chiefs Coach Dick Vermeil said.
Holmes, 29, appeared on his way to winning a second straight NFL rushing title before he was forced to miss the last two games of the 2002 season with a hip injury. He also was on the verge of breaking Marshall Faulk's single-season record of 26 rushing touchdowns in 2000.
After winning the rushing title with 1,555 yards in 2001, Holmes had 1,615 yards and 24 touchdowns last season before he was injured in a loss at Denver on Dec. 15.
Kwan leads qualifying group
WASHINGTON, March 26 (UPI) -- Michelle Kwan skated early but efficiently and finished atop her qualifying group Wednesday at the World Figure Skating Championships.
Kwan's program to Roderigo's "Aranjuez" included six triple jumps. Her only error was a bobble in the middle of a combination that resulted in an awkard single toe loop as the second jump.
American Sasha Cohen finished third overall, behind Russian Elena Sokolova.
Woods ready for Players Championship
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., March 26 (UPI) -- Tiger Woods, who won by 11 shots last Sunday when he was ill, should be healthy Thursday when he starts his bid for another title.
Woods, the winner of three of his four starts this year, is scheduled to embark on his opening round at The Players Championship at 7:40 a.m. EST.
His task has been made somewhat easier this week by the absence of Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson, the No. 2 and No. 3 players in the world rankings. Els, who recently injured his right wrist while hitting a punching bag at home in London, has withdrawn as a precaution to ensure he will be healthy for the Masters.
Mickelson pulled out to be with his wife, who gave birth to their third child on Sunday.
But Woods still will have to overcome one of the strongest fields of the year, one that includes 47 of the world's top 50 players.
Woods overcame a bout with food poisoning last week to win the Bay Hill Invitational.

Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
I recently learned of a case where a mom now 28 years old living in South America had a child with an individual who is both a citizen of that South American country and a naturalized U.S. citizen. Some time after the relationship fell apart, the father was a resident of Florida but took occasional trips to South America. The father at some point was arrested for drug trafficking, is now on parole and unable to return to South America.
According to the mom at some point the dad and his family, based in Florida had filed and received U.S. passport for the daughter who is now 8 years old. The Mom says around that timeframe she was asked to sign some documents that at the time she didn't understand, but she now believes may have been documents giving custody to the dad and his family.
She is now receiving weekly high-pressure phone calls from the dad and his family requesting that she send the 8-year old to Florida for the Summer. She says she is certain that the child will not be returned to Belize if she goes to Florida. The dad and family says this is not the case but she is concerned she has no recourse and no financial means to contest this if in fact the kid is not returned before school reopens in September.
She says she has no knowledge of the dad or his family's living environment in Florida and there is no way she will send an 8-year old girl into the unknown. The dad calls the child every 2 weeks or so and sporadically sends a few dollars of child support. So the stalemate is, the dad can't come to South America to see the child and the Mom doesn't feel comfortable sending the child for a visit. Is the Mom justified in not sending the child to the U.S. and what legal rights/recourse does she have?
1 Answer from Attorneys
If she refuses to allow the child to go to FL, then the father really has no recourse. FL does not have jurisdiction over the case. I need to review the custody documents that you are referring to in the order.

In that post, I also noted that she would be doing an AMA (aka an Ask Me Anything chat) on Reddit. That AMA happened yesterday. For anyone who has ever been a fan of Ringwald, John Hughes's films or the timeless debate over Blaine vs. Duckie, the transcript is required reading.
For those who need the CliffsNotes, however, here are six pieces of fascinating information that the "Pretty in Pink" star shared during the live Q&A.
1. Her husband, writer Panio Gianopolous, once went to an '80s party dressed as Jake Ryan.
Writes Ringwald: "Panio and I recently had to go to an eighties party for my daughter's school. He went as Jake Ryan. It was good and creepy how much he actually looked like him."
This is: a. the greatest thing I've heard all month, and b. info that allows fans of "Sixteen Candles" to forever believe that Samantha Baker really did end up with Jake. Which is a blessing and a gift.
2. In response to the question, "Are you Team Duckie or Team Blaine?" Ringwald's response was: "Team James Spader."
So she's pro-Stef, even though he thought Andie is, was and will always be nada? Actually, I always loved the way Spader said that line so this makes complete sense to me.
3. In that same thread, "The Breakfast Club" star revealed that her lipstick trick in that movie was not real.
"It's all movie magic," she said. "There is a story behind that: John Hughes wrote it but never actually thought about me having to do it. He kept putting it off until the end of filming that long scene. I kept bringing it up, like, 'Hey. We gotta figure this out. Are we going to have robotic breasts?' Finally we decided it was better to see less and let everyone assume that I was particularly skilled."
So the many hours spent trying to replicate this stunt during both 1985 and 1986 were all for nought?
4. Ringwald almost did a "Sixteen Candles" remake but decided not to.
Post: "At one point, six years ago, I was considering participating in a sequel to Sixteen Candles. But John Hughes didn't want to have sequels to any of the movies I was in and I didn't feel comfortable doing it without his involvement."
When a Redditor asked for more information about the plot, she added, "I don't remember much about it, but the script eventually became Avatar."
5. Molly Ringwald loves My Little Pony.
The brony community suggested she do a voice for season three of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic," an idea greeted with this gif.
6. And just to close this down by bringing it back to Spader, Ringwald answered a question about whether she sees any of her old co-stars by telling the following story.
"I see them all from time to time but not every day. Weirdly, I was having dinner with Bret Easton Ellis who I hadn't seen in a decade. We were seated at the Chef's table when we saw James Spader touring the kitchen. I think it was surreal for everyone involved, like a wormhole from the eighties opened up."
