Windows 7 Tip of the Week
Get Free TV Content with Media Center
Tip date: June 4, 2010
Tipsters: n/a
Windows Media Center is one of the most innovative and entertaining technologies Microsoft has ever added to Windows. Essentially a wonderful, remote control-accessible ("ten foot") front end to all of your digital media content, Windows Media Center helps you enjoy live and recorded TV shows, and digital videos, photos, and music. Media Center is equally at home in your living room or bedroom as it is in the home office, or on a laptop during a cross-country flight. And in Windows 7, the Media Center environment has been evolved with added functionality and an improved user interface. It's also been made available in more versions of the operating system instead of just one or two as it was with Windows XP and Vista. Thus, it will reach a far wider audience than it did previously.
Despite this, Media Center remains a hidden gem, of sorts. Few users utilize this nice interface, and even fewer use it for its original purpose of watching live and recorded TV shows. The reason is simple: Setting up Media Center to record TV shows is complex and time consuming, and can be unreliable. And few people have the required TV tuner hardware, or the patience, to make this exercise worthwhile.
Fortunately, you don't have to connect your PC to your cable box to enjoy TV and other video content. In addition to working ably with your own digital videos, and with some third party services like CinemaNow and Amazon On Demand, Media Center provides access to a number of other TV and TV-like services that give you a taste of what this environment has to offer. Two of my favorites are Internet TV and Netflix.
Internet TV
Internet TV began life as MSN TV, but now it's a fully integrated part of Media Center, or at least it is once you install it. To do so, launch Media Center and wait. After a few moments, you'll be prompted for the install. (If you aren't, try quitting and re-launching Media Center. It will appear eventually.)
Once Internet TV is up and running, you can access it in two ways. In the TV menu on the Media Center home screen, you'll see a new Internet TV option. Or, you can simply click Guide instead to bring up the normal Media Center program guide; the Internet TV "channels" are available right at the top.
Internet TV provides access to full shows, both new and old, as well as TV show clips. The quality is good at best--it's your basic video streaming, after all--but some of the content is decent. I've lost more than a few hours watching some full episodes from the original Star Trek series, for example.
Internet TV can't give Hulu or even YouTube a run for their money, but then neither are integrated into Media Center, at least not yet. For now, Internet TV provides decent and free TV content that anyone can enjoy: All you need is Media Center and an Internet connection.
If you're a Netflix subscriber, you've probably heard of the Netflix Instant Queue, which augments the service's traditional DVD rental offering with Internet-based streaming of TV shows and movies; it comes free with any Netflix subscription, including the low-end, one-movie-at-a-time version, and can be accessed from the web, from dedicated set-top boxes (Roku), video game machines (Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii), and from other devices, including some Blu-Ray players. You can also access Netflix from Media Center, and this is a nice interface for doing so.
Like Internet TV, Netflix will need to be installed first. (It will be advertised in the Movies menu.) Once that's up and running, logon to your account and you can access your Instant Queue, DVD Queue, and a number of related views, including movie recommendations.
The nice thing about the Netflix interface in Media Center is that you can manage your queues too. As you watch content in the Instant Queue, you can delete it directly from this interface, and you can browse DVDs, add them to your queue, and reorder items as you like.
Netflix isn't free, but the service's Instant Queue feature has grown into an excellent reason to subscribe. I've heard complaints that much of this content is older, but that's changing too, and there's now a lot of decent content in there, and it's getting better all the time.

Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples has received notice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Texas has been declared brucellosis-free. This news means for the first time in the 74-year history of the brucellosis program, all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have simultaneously achieved Class Free status.
"Today is a landmark day for the nation's number one cattle state. Decades of hard work are now paying off with this incredible accomplishment. I commend the Texas cattle industry and the Texas Animal Health Commission for working together to establish Texas as brucellosis-free," Commissioner Staples said.
For nearly five decades, Texas cattle producers have battled brucellosis, a bacterial disease that poses no threat to food safety, but can cause decreased milk production, weight loss, infertility, loss of young and lameness in cattle. There is no known treatment for brucellosis, and depopulation of infected and exposed animals is the only effective means of disease containment and eradication.
There are 14 million head of cattle in Texas, more than half of the state's people population and cattle production is the number one agriculture commodity in Texas in terms of cash receipts. Bottom line, the cattle industry is big business in Texas.
"The Texas cattle industry is a $16 billion business for the Texas economy. This new brucellosis-
free status will positively improve the industry and help our dedicated cattle producers," Commissioner Staples said.
This is historic news but the work is not over. Brucellosis-free status is based on a state finding no known brucellosis in cattle for 12 months. A state's status can change if brucellosis is found in more than one herd of cattle in a brucellosis-free state within a two-year period.

Cartman and Alec Baldwin are the only two members of a new social media site called "Shitter."
Yep, "South Park" is back for its 17th season. In the premiere, Cartman gains entry into the National Security Agency, where he learns the government is secretly monitoring all his personal information. So he hatches a plan to tell everyone the truth.
Meanwhile, Butters finds someone new to listen to his prayers.
I'm not quite sure how Shitter fits into to this, but the clip here is hilarious. Apparently it allows members to share everything they are thinking on the Internet.
"Let Go, Let Gov" premieres at 9 p.m. CT on Comedy Central.

For eight seasons, whenever Sheldon Brown spoke, everyone listened.
Now members of the Cleveland media will be rushing to Brown's locker after games and practices to get an honest view of what's going on with the team and the franchise.
But Brown took time last week to close the book on his career in Philadelphia during a pair of WIP radio interviews, and as always, he had some interesting things to say.
Most notable was Brown referencing some of his former teammates failing to buy in to what the coaching staff was selling.
"I just think, we as a defense in Philadelphia, you just have to believe in what coach [Sean] McDermott preaches and follow the plan," Brown told Howard Eskin and Ike Reese. "You know, sometimes I look back at last year, the season, I feel that we had some players that really was questioning some of the things that were being done. And [we] never had that situation since I've been there. And first and foremost, you have to believe in the system, believe in the plan, or you lose before you even go out there. And if the guys can remember to do that, stick together, they'll be fine."
So, who wasn't buying into McDermott's message? Brown might have been speaking in generalizations, or he might have been talking about one or two specific players.
I went back to look at some stories, columns and blog posts from during the season, and the name that seems most logical is Asante Samuel.
The Daily News' Paul Domowitch wrote about Samuel's unwillingness to play press coverage in a column after the Eagles' two losses to the Cowboys:
"We just didn't do a good enough job on the screens," McDermott said. "When you don't press, that's what happens. You leave too much room in between you and the next blocker and they get a hat on a hat and get up the field and that's when you have problems."
Asked why Samuel didn't press on [Miles] Austin's touchdown, McDermott said, "It was designed to be pressed."
And here's what I wrote about Samuel in Man Up after the loss to the Saints:
He was matched up one-on-one with Devery Henderson on a 3rd-and-12 in the second quarter and was nowhere near the receiver, who picked up 17 yards. Samuel also gave a big cushion to Colston on a 13-yard gain in the third quarter. If you re-watch the game, you'll notice that Samuel stayed in for the next play but then was replaced by Ellis Hobbs for the remainder of the series. He didn't appear to be injured. This was before he suffered the stinger. Was this Sean McDermott's way of sending a message to Samuel to not give up so much ground?
More from Brown:
"Sometimes when guys come from other places, and you feel as if some guys in house that have been working hard feel as they're not appreciated, then obviously in any workplace, it's gonna become a problem."
Samuel, of course, signed a six-year, $57M deal in 2008, after arriving from New England.
Brown clearly felt that with the Eagles cutting ties with guys he had been around for so long - Lito Sheppard, Brian Dawkins, etc. - it was time for him to move on as well.
"It was just one of those situations where the guys I that had been there with throughout the years were no longer there, and then some things happened from a locker room standpoint, chemistry-wise, and it was just time for change for myself and my family," Brown told The Morning Show.
When asked what he meant by the locker room/chemistry comment, Brown said he'd rather not go into it.
Other nuggets:
* Brown did not sound bitter. He praised Andy Reid, McDermott and said he spoke with Howie Roseman. But he did say: "It's good to once in a awhile want to be wanted."
* For years, observers have speculated about the Eagles potentially moving Brown to safety. After the trade, Roseman said: "We talked about that, like we talk about all things, but Sheldon wants to play corner, he views himself as a cornerback, and that's kind of where that ended."
Not so, said Brown:
"The only thing that frustrated me about the whole deal was no one never once asked me to play safety. I'll clear that up because I read something that a gentlemen said that we talked to Sheldon about playing safety, and he still said he was a corner. That's not true. For me, I'm such a team guy. Wherever Cleveland wants me to play, I'm gonna play there. And wherever Philadelphia wanted me to play, I was gonna play there because those guys in the locker room depended on me."
* Maybe I'm the only one who would find this one interesting, but Brown talked about the Eagles' defensive representative at the weekly press conferences, and after games. For years, it was Brian Dawkins. Last year, it was going to be Stewart Bradley, but that changed when he went down with a season-ending injury in training camp. Then it became Quintin Mikell. So why wasn't Brown at the podium? "They came to me with that, and I said with the situation that I'm in right now, you guys probably don't want me to be that guy because I was gonna answer questions all year about my happiness, and I wasn't gonna deal with that."
Definitely would have provided for more entertainment.
* Brown called leadership "overrated" but it was pretty clear that he thought he had a different definition of the word than fans and the media. "The thing that sometimes the fans and everyone miss out on, is we had an opportunity to learn from some great guys," Brown said. "What I don't want people to fail to realize is that I didn't do this alone. Lito [Sheppard] didn't do it alone. [Brian] Westbrook. Westbrook had Duce [Staley]. I had Troy [Vincent] and Bobby [Taylor]. Lito had Troy and Bobby. Mike Lewis had Brian Dawkins. So there were veterans in place that had great qualities about them, and we understood that. And we fell in line and learned how to be pros, and I think that that's key."
A major issue for the Eagles going forward, which is more concerning on defense than offense.
* To that same point, Brown talked about how much the defense missed Dawkins last season. "I think it's just a locker room presence," he said. "It's great to have a guy like that in the locker room where a younger guy can come in and see how it's supposed to be done. ... I can go back to Troy. I learned from Troy and people like Dawk. They would show how to play through injury, how to tough it out, how to fight, sit down and talk to you as a young buck and tell you what it's gonna take for you to achieve the goals that they have achieved. That locker room presence is huge."
* When asked who the leaders could be next season, Brown pointed to Mikell on 'D' and Jason Avant on offense.
* His favorite memories were Jim Johnson meeting his family for the first time and the NFC championship game against Atlanta that sent the Eagles to the Super Bowl.
* Thanks to Lance over at Eagles Mix for pointing me towards the interviews.

Placing 27-year-old rookie Wei-Yin Chen on the mound in Monday's ALDS Game 2 wasn't a difficult decision for Orioles manager Buck Showalter considering the experience the left-hander has against the New Yrok Yankees this season.
Chen, who hasn't won a decision since Aug. 19, is 0-4 in his last 7 outings and 1-2 with a 5.25 ERA in four starts against the Yankees. But he's allowed three or fewer earned runs in three of those four starts, and he was one out away from recording quality starts in all of those games.
"He should have some history with them and we've gotten a return for those times he's pitched well," Showalter said. "One of the good things watching him pitch in meaningful games is somehow we think we have a corner here. These things are big, but … people talk to me about Latin young players and stuff and guys that have played in Japan, you still got to go out there. He's got experience pitching in front of big crowds in big games."
Chen, a Taiwan native who pitched the last four years in Japan, has labored down the stretch, not looking like the same pitcher who won seven of his first nine starts. And the Orioles have been tactical with giving Chen extra days rest; he will pitch Monday on six days rest. He is 1-1 with a 2.28 ERA in four starts with six or more days of rest.
Showalter has also tentatively slated 28-year-old rookie Miguel Gonzalez to pitch Game 3 at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. Gonzalez is available out of the bullpen for Game 1.
"[With] Gonzo, we've taken all the information and the experience factor, and he pitched well there," Showalter said. "They always have a full house in New York and it will also give us an opportunity to use him out of the pen if we wanted to."
Gonzalez is 2-0 with a 2.63 ERA in two starts at Yankees Stadium this season, allowing 10 hits with 17 strikeouts and 3 walks over 13 2/3 innings.
Considering the confidence he put in left-hander Joe Saunders -- who was earned the win Friday night in Texas in the AL wild-card game after going 0-6 with a 9.38 ERA at Rangers Ballpark -- it's difficult to question Showalter's matchups now.

Gay Pride
A special Villager supplement
On being Captain Lous first real live gay person
By Kate Walter
Captain Lou picked me up at the Bay Head train station on a hot summer day.
I was the writer from Manhattan coming to the Jersey Shore to interview a forensic marine investigator. When we went to the Ocean Bay Diner for lunch, I was shocked
by a surfer entering with a lit cigarette. We were not in the city anymore.
As we settled into a booth, I was already thinking of how Id describe him khaki pants, boat shoes, dark tan. I made small talk, trying to warm him up. We were doing the main interview later at Lous office.
We were not in official tape recorder mode.
Id just asked my subject if he was married and how long hed lived at the shore. (He was 67, married 33 years, lived at the shore over 40 years.) I was getting background, not chatting, so I was startled when he asked me, So Kate, are you married?
Maybe Lou felt familiar because he went deep-sea fishing with my brother, John, who had turned me on to this guy. Or maybe Lou did not get that I was a journalist working over lunch. I told him I had never been married, thinking we were done with this question, but he persisted, So youve never been married, Kate.
Im gay, I stated, annoyed at his repetition. I have a partner.
Youre gay, he said, surprised. Well thats nothing to be ashamed of. Why didnt John tell me this about you? Ive never met a gay person before.
Could this be true? My subject was an intelligent man, a Democrat who ran for office in a Republican county, yet hed never talked with an out gay or lesbian! And this was New Jersey, a progressive state. A recent poll indicated a majority in the state supported gay marriage.
So you dont like men, he asserted, picking up his thick ham sandwich.
Thats not true. I have male friends, I replied, knowing this was not what he meant. Now I was eating my cheese sandwich quickly. I wanted out of this smoky diner and hoped this discussion would end fast. I was not here to teach Queer Studies 101, but I didnt want to be rude. I needed this guy to open up to me later about his specialized line of work.
I was an out gay writer stuck on a weird work date with this guy for an afternoon.
When the waitress put the check in front of Lou, he immediately picked it up. Still stunned, I let him get it, only adding to the role confusion.
We got into Lous S.U.V. and headed toward a marina. At a stop light in Point Pleasant, he turned to me and said, I hope you dont mind my asking, but do you use anything artificial when you have sex?
I was shocked. No wonder he was good at investigating. But where was this guy coming from? Was he being perverted or just curious?
No, but some people do, I found myself saying. I couldnt believe a character I was profiling for a regional magazine was asking if my partner and I used sex toys. By now I was thinking, why didnt my darling brother clue me in more about his fishing buddy? This was our first meeting.
Just when I thought this interrogation couldnt go any further, Lou said, really puzzled, So then your relationship with your partner is like an older married couple who are close companions but dont have sex anymore.
Huh? Its not like that, I said. What are you talking about?
Well, do you..
Yes, I practically shouted.
But how...
Lou, use your imagination. Your problem is you are applying the heterosexual model to a lesbian relationship. Now were off this subject
Fine, I appreciate your talking to me. I hope I didnt make you uncomfortable.
No, its O.K., I lied. And, by the way, Im sure youve met some gays here at the Jersey Shore, you just didnt realize it. Who do you think is behind the rebirth of Asbury Park? Its gays and artists.
Youre right, everyone says the gays are bringing back Asbury.
Thankfully, the boatyard came into sight and we got out. The rest of the afternoon, everything went smoothly. He gave me a great interview in his office and showed me the tools of his specialized trade. We finished the afternoon with a trip to another marina.
As the day wound down, Lou drove me to my mothers house in nearby Ocean Beach where I was spending the weekend. I could not wait to get there.
I have one last question, he said, as we turned the corner. Id be home free in another minute. Have you ever slept with a man?
Yes Lou, I had boyfriends, in high school and college and later. Now I figured he is one of those men who think, If only she had the real thing, shed be straight. So I let him mull over my answer.
As Lou dropped me off, he gave me a hug, like we were old friends. He seemed clueless that his questions were rude and that he had treated me like a circus freak. I thanked him for the interview, thinking he was bizarre, intrusive. After calming down, I saw him more as simply naive, a curious old salt who had never met a lesbian.
Lous probing went overboard, but he seized this opportunity to ask his lifelong burning questions. I was so taken off guard, I answered politely. But why was this man expecting a course in sex education from me? Plus, I was insulted he only seemed curious about one thing. Not, How long have you two been together? (since 1980) Or, How did you meet? (at the Gay Teachers Association).
Although Lous hunger for information was single minded and insensitive,
I tried to be a good gay ambassador. Id like to think that these kinds of one-on-one encounters make people more aware. If nothing else, Lou will think twice before assuming everyone is straight. I wondered what he told his wife that night.

TUSCALOOSA | Nine University of Alabama players were chosen in the 2013 NFL draft over the past three days, a school record since the draft was reduced to seven rounds in 1994.
TUSCALOOSA | Nine University of Alabama players were chosen in the 2013 NFL draft over the past three days, a school record since the draft was reduced to seven rounds in 1994.
Former Andalusia linebacker Nico Johnson was the first UA player chosen Saturday, by the Kansas City Chiefs with the second pick of the fourth round.
At the time he was picked, Johnson was the fifth UA player chosen in the draft. By day's end, center Barrett Jones, nose guard Jesse Williams, defensive end Quinton Dial and tight end Michael Williams received pro football's call of dreams also.
The St. Louis Rams drafted Jones with the 113th overall choice, and Jesse Williams went in the fifth round (137th overall) to the Seattle Seahawks. Later in the fifth round, Dial was chosen by the San Francisco 49ers. Tight end Michael Williams, of Pickens County, was chosen in the seventh round by the Detroit Lions.
The 1945 Alabama football team had 10 players drafted, but that was in an era of fewer teams and a draft with 22 rounds.
Three other Alabama players — safety Robert Lester, defensive end Damion Square and deep snapper Carson Tinker — were signed as undrafted free agents by the Carolina Panthers, Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively.
Johnson will be joining two former teammates in Chiefs defensive backs DeQuan Menzie and Javier Arenas, one of whom was a roommate of his at Alabama.
"Me and DQ were roommates, so that will be a lot of fun," Johnson said. "I can't wait to get reunited with those guys."
Johnson said he had just awakened and turned on his television when he realized he'd been chosen by Kansas City. He was taken with the 99th overall choice.
"It's a blessing. Waiting around a couple of days has been frustrating. But the Chiefs giving me a chance to showcase what I can do, it's a blessing. I'm ready to get there and get to work and learn as much as I can from (Chiefs linebacker) Derrick Johnson."
Johnson said he was hoping to have been drafted Friday, which included the second and third rounds, but feels he is headed for a strong organization in the Chiefs. Last year's 99th overall choice, Georgia center Ben Jones, signed a four-year contract worth $2.58 million with a $481,000 signing bonus with the Houston Texans.
"I've just had to learn to take what is given. It's not about where I start, it's about where and how I finish," Johnson said. "Being around here has taught me a lot, especially with patience."
Last year's pick in Jones' slot, 113th overall, was Kyle Wilber of Wake Forest. Wilber was signed by the Dallas Cowboys for four years, $2.54 million and a bonus of $439,000. NFL draftees can generally expect a deal somewhat similar to that of the player drafted in the same position the previous year.
Jesse Williams was projected as high as the early second round. Dial was unable to perform at the NFL Combine or Pro Day following toe surgery. He shared time at defensive end last season at UA along with Ed Stinson.
Also Saturday, former Bibb County running back Zac Stacy was drafted by the Rams in the fifth round. Stacy excelled at Vanderbilt as the first back in school history with two 1,000-yard rushing seasons, and 30 career touchdowns.

Good day, dwellers of the devil's basement. Are you guys ready for Devil's Due coming out later this week? Yeah, me either. Fortunately there are much more interesting and original films hitting theaters and VOD sites over the next few months. And two of them include Dan Fogler and an evil clown, which were formerly assumed to be the same thing.
There's another found footage movie coming out this year, Mark Neveldine's The Vatican Tapes, which will center on a leaked video of an exorcism that goes extremely wrong. While these kinds of films usually rely on practical sound effects and deep booming noises for their soundscape, The Vatican Tapes will receive a score composed by bonkers musician Mike Patton, lead singer of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, and about a dozen other side projects. That fact alone has me 20% more excited about this movie than I already was. So now it stands at 22%. And growing.
Jason Voorhees Might Not Be In Friday the 13th's 13th FilmOkay, so that's a bit of story bait for you guys to immediately get angry about, but Crave Online caught up with Platinum Dunes' Brad Fuller, one of the Friday producers, who said that Jason's absence is at least a possibility, and the found footage angle is still in the air. I suppose next we'll hear about a Fast & Furious movie without any cars and a Roland Emmerich movie that won't destroy half of the world's population.
When asked if actor Derek Mears would be reprising his role as the hockey masked murderer, Fuller said, "I don't know because I don't know if we're going to have Jason, I don't know which Jason we're going to have. I can tell you this: I love Derek Mears, I love working with him and he's a dream so we'd be lucky to have him." That's a pretty strange way to answer a question, even if it doesn't reflect on the final product. They don't even have a script yet to go along with their March 13, 2015 release date.
Fuller acknowledges that Platinum Dunes' Welcome to Yesterday is a found footage movie and that The Purge has some of the same elements, and says they understand that a large portion of their fanbase doesn't want to see this film in that format. But Fuller pretty much sums it all up by saying, "Until we figure out exactly what the story is for the next Friday the 13th movie, I can't tell you what it's going to be." Now if you guys will excuse me, I'm going to have a bowl of soup without a bowl or any soup.

Cran-Raspberry Citrus Wreath Punch
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Remember those old copper molds that used to hang on your grandmother's wall? If you are lucky enough to have one, grab it and fill it and freeze it! If not, an old bundt pan or even a pyrex bowl will do the trick. I'm not a fan of the sherbet infused punch drinks--they are too cloying for me. I love this because it can be easily spiked, but it is enjoyed year round--refreshing in the summer and appealing in the winter.
Feel free to use the "lite" or "diet" versions as you will be adding a cup of sugar (or splenda) and ginger ale (which can also be diet, if you prefer). I know some avoid the splenda/fake sugar products, but I try to keep the sugar down in the drinks and I don't mind the aftertaste that others' object to having.
Take a look at InPats Kitchen's recipe for homemade ginger ale which would make an excellent base for this punch. It is really versatile for both the warm and cold seasons! —lorigoldsby
Serves: a crowd
Frozen Fruit Ring
pints Cran-Raspberry Cocktail
orange, thinly sliced
cup raspberries
cup cranberries
teaspoon pink peppercorns
Cran-Raspberry Punch
liters cran-raspberry cocktail
liters ginger ale
cup sugar or splenda
ounce almond extract
- Freeze ice ring a day or 2 days ahead of time. If you forget, or have to do this at the last minute, don't worry....make a "cran-raspberry slushie" with the extra cocktail mix, some ice and just 5-6 pink peppercorns. Make it as concentrated as possible, enough ice to chill the batch without watering down the bowl as it melts. You may want to skip the whole cranberries and just float the orange slices and raspberries on top.
- Mix the sugar(sweetner) with the cran-raspberry cocktail and stir well to dissolve. Add the almond extract.
- Add the ginger ale (see how to make your own from this summer's contest) and float the ice ring on top. Can garnish cups with orange slice and/or raspberry. for a Christmas touch, use a rosemarry sprig with a cranberry poked through the end.

The British royals are unique in their ability to grab headlines and generate excitement, especially for big events like births, anniversaries, coronations, birthdays, and above all, weddings. When an heir to the throne marries, it's superstar time. Prince William, Charles and Diana's handsome son, will marry his long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton, on Friday in Westminster Abbey. Every detail of the event from her dress to the problem of the black sheep uncle has been rehashed in the media over and over and over again.
|This postcard was issued in celebration of the Royal Wedding of Princess Diana and Prince Charles, July 29, 1981.
Here's a prediction: There will be postcards. Every royal since Victoria's son, Edward VII (1901-1910), has been duly commemorated by postcard publishers, most notably Raphael Tuck and Sons until their plant was destroyed in 1940.
People love souvenirs, and the British have always been eager to purchase everything sellers offered featuring their royals. Tourists, too, buy royalty postcards, so it seems probable that William and Kate cards are already on the racks.
The press and the people had a long love affair with Princess Diana. Postcards issued for her wedding include a pair of all silver and another all gold commemorative cards along with countless pictures of the couple. In fact, there are so many of her blue outfit, it's a shame she didn't change between shots.
Prince Charles was in no hurry to take a bride, so there's a fairly long time span between his marriage in 1981 and his parents' in 1947.
In the austere days after World War II, the wedding of Elizabeth and Phillip was modest compared to the spectacle of their son's, but the young princess won the hearts of the nation by pitching in to help during the war. The public must have enjoyed seeing the man she was marrying on a nice set of photo postcards issued by Valentine's, a noteworthy British publisher.
If there were any postcards made for the marriage of Edward VIII and his American wife, the woman he renounced the throne for, I haven't seen them. The coronation of his brother, George VI, subject of the popular new film, "The King's Speech," was commemorated by a nice photographic postcard shown here.
As every postcard collector knows, the postcard craze began in the early 1900's and declined by the beginning of World War I. During the peak years, both the quantity and quality of postcards was astonishing. George V sat on the British throne from 1910 to 1936, so postcards from his reign aren't particularly scarce. Some, though, are very attractive, especially lithographed cards made in Germany, where most of Tuck's (and the world's) were printed. It was George V who changed the name of the royal family from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the House of Windsor, reacting to the German xenophobia of the First World War.
For those who are interested in the whole history of British royalty, it's possible to see portraits of all the kings and queens. Tuck produced three series of 12 cards each, NO. 614, 615, and 616, plus one card in 617. These cards are pretty pricey if they can be found in complete sets, but countless world-famous artists also painted the royals. Art reproductions from museums are relatively inexpensive, and some, especially those of the Tudors with their elaborate clothing, are hugely entertaining.
The days when Henry VIII could say "off with her head" and have it happen are long gone, but interest in the British royals hasn't diminished. Today there are so many ways to get a look at Prince William and Kate, postcards are almost an afterthought, albeit one many will appreciate if the publishers come through the way they did with the Charles and Diana wedding.

ESPN's Hubie Brown
By: Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com, @Jim_Eichenhofer
One of the most respected television analysts in the NBA, ESPN's Hubie Brown is a wealth of basketball knowledge, having been a head coach and broadcaster in the league for a combined total of four decades. He was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005. In addition to visiting cities around the country to call games for ESPN, the Atlanta resident has spent the first portion of the season catching a multitude of games on TV. He even attended New Orleans' preseason road game against the Atlanta Hawks last month. Here is Brown's assessment of the NBA and the Hornets at this early stage of 2012-13. We caught up with Brown prior to Wednesday's ESPN game against the Philadelphia 76ers:
Hornets.com: What stories stand out to you from the first week of the NBA regular season?
Brown: First of all is the unexpected. We're seeing some scores where teams that are predicted to not make the playoffs are beating top-notch teams. Also, all of the injuries to at least seven of the star players throughout the league. But I like what we're seeing (in terms of surprising outcomes of games), because it means that coaching staffs are maximizing the potential of their kids, to the point where we're seeing eye-opening scores, night in and night out.
Hornets.com: Speaking of young teams, what are your thoughts on the Hornets so far?
Brown: I like what I've seen. Without (Anthony) Davis, going into Chicago and beating Chicago, that was a very big win. That was a testament to your coaching staff and your players buying in, and then to be led by your frontcourt people was also outstanding, because you're playing without Davis and (Eric) Gordon. You're talking about two guys who, if they were (healthy) from the get-go, could possibly play in the All-Star Game. So even though you have the second-youngest team in the league, you have an excellent coaching staff here. I don't blow smoke on coaching staffs. I see them work and I understand what they're doing. When you put out the defensive stats that your team puts out every year that this coaching staff has been here, they are giving your team a chance to win every night, if you're healthy. Because a) the defense will always be there night in and night out b) the shooting percentages for (opponents) coming in are minuses and c) you force turnovers and love to play (games with scores in the) 80s and 90s. This is a great style. Last year you had to overcome all of those injuries, 200-some games lost to injuries. This year, when you get Davis and Gordon matched in with the (other players) who are together for November and December, all young teams get better, because a) it's youth but b) it's also new (teammates). They get accustomed to the coaching staff, offensively and defensively. Young teams get better from January on, when you have a good coaching staff.
Hornets.com: It's obviously extremely early in an 82-game season, but based on what you've seen so far, is it possible this team was underestimated? Many of the national predictions had the Hornets winning between 30 and 35 games.
Brown: Well, it's very early. In November and December, they will have to hope they can be around that .500 mark. If they're around that, if Gordon comes back in December, and Davis will have had two months playing with the team by then, you will have a dynamite nine-man rotation. And you'll have more experience, because the guys who are getting additional playing time and quality opportunities now will give you more depth.
Hornets.com: What is your reaction to the improvements that Hornets players such as Robin Lopez and Al-Farouq Aminu appear to have made in the offseason? Did you feel both players had room to get better? Lopez has been in the league for four years; usually a player "is what he is" by then.
Brown: First of all, both guys underachieved where they were (with previous teams). Now you can say, did they underachieve because of a) coaching b) lack of work ethic or c) the offenses and defenses they played in were not conducive to their talent and physical qualities. Take any of those three ideas, and add in that all of a sudden both guys are playing over 30 minutes per game here with New Orleans. Minutes are always the key. But you don't discount that the individual could've underachieved by himself. Attitude, maturity, age all are factors. But also, what did a coaching staff do for this individual player?
Hornets.com: Disappointed you're not getting to see Anthony Davis play in person?
Brown: Well, I live in Atlanta, so I went to the (Hornets at Hawks) exhibition game (on Oct. 18), because I wanted to see him play in person. He was matched up with Josh Smith, and at halftime he had outscored Smith something like 15-6. He also had seven or eight rebounds. I was very impressed with how smooth and how talented he is. He's only 19 years old – he's still learning the game. I also went down to see (Austin) Rivers in person. But you don't make major conclusions on young players (immediately). If they are hard-working and intelligent, they will understand their shortcomings when they come in the league. Then they'll work hard to improve. If you look at the Hall of Fame and guys who have made All-NBA first and second teams, it's interesting how many of them had to change their bodies or change their offensive game, because a) it was limited or b) they had to learn how to play going left or with their back to the basket. For perimeter guys, they have to learn how to shoot a higher percentage and adjust, because the NBA three-point line is an extra step beyond the college line. It's a completely different game. Plus, NBA defenders close much more quickly on you than they did in college. There are so many things young players have to grasp. If they're not reaching what people are expecting of them, now it comes down to their heart. You can do all of the scouting you want and see guys who are picked in the lottery and just automatically expect great things. No. You can't look in their hearts. You can't know how much they're willing to give of themselves to get better. That's the key to this business.

Utah Family Law
Family law pertains to the relationships between family members from a legal standpoint. While many issues concerning family law may seem personal or even more distressing when under the scrutiny of a court of law, problems often arise in families where legal action is an appropriate avenue for resolving these conflicts. There are a vast number of areas involving family law, all with a multitude of options to help solve these issues. Some of the most common areas within family law are:
Divorce is the legal termination of a governmentally-sanctioned marriage. A divorce involves many different aspects of the law, including marital and pre-marital agreements, custody rights, and property rights.
This is a quickly growing area of the law. According to statistics, fifty percent of the marriages granted in 1997 ended in divorce. Unfortunately, divorces are typically complicated and emotionally charged, so they should not be conducted without some form of legal assistance.
There are many different forms of divorce and separation, depending on the nature of the remaining relationship between the two parties, and the means in which the marriage was entered upon.
Child Custody
Child custody is when an individual is given the responsibility of being the primary caregiver over a child. Custody is typically given to the child's natural parents, but may be passed on to another qualifying individual should the parents be deemed unfit caregivers. Custody is a common issue after parents go through a divorce and both wish to care for their child or children. Then, either the parents or a court must decide what the best situation for the child will be. Both parties' parenting abilities and histories are evaluated and custody is granted accordingly. There are many solutions to custody problems, as well as many different forms of custody. This can be a touchy situation for any parent or child, so utilizing some form of mediation or legal assistance is always a good idea.
Child Support
Child support is the payment of a non-custodial parent to a custodial parent for the care of their natural child. Child support is typically paid when the parents are unmarried or divorced, and is appropriated by a court of law or mutual out-of-court arbitration. The amount of payments made is usually a factor of the parent's income, and criminal charges can be brought against a parent who fails to meet payment guidelines.
Spousal Support
Spousal support is the payment of one spouse to another to help provide for the spouse's livelihood. Spousal support is paid when one spouse was financially dependent on the other, and the couple goes through a divorce. Payments are made to help support the dependent party while they find employment or go through training or education necessary for them to secure adequate employment. Support may also be paid if one spouse gave up their own resources or employment to better support the other in their education or employment. Spousal support is typically decided through mutual arbitration or through the decision of a court of law.
Adoption is the legal acquirement of a child by unnatural parents. Adoption is typically a venue for couples who cannot give birth to a child of their own, but still want to experience parenthood and have a family. Adopted children are usually placed in homes by a public or private agency, and have been given to that agency by their natural parents because of their inability to properly care for the child. Family members may also adopt a child in the event of the natural parents no longer being able to care for the child. For example, a child's aunt or uncle may be granted legal custody in the event of the child being orphaned. Adoption is usually a very long and stressful process, especially for non-related parents in search of a child.

Benelli SuperNova What Do I Need To Know?
Hello fellow enthusiast,
I have decided to branch into the shotgun arena as I'm interested in turkey hunting etc. I am considering buying the Benelli SuperNova 12-GA with the Comfortech in a 24 inch barrel length.
Please I need some help with the following questions.
1. Is it a reliable and accurate shotgun?
2. Should I be concerned with the recoil and opt for 20-GA instead?
3. Are the Tritium Ghost-Ring inserts sights a good choice for this purpose?
4. Are the extended special-purpose chokes necessary?
5. What are the best shells to use both for hunting game and self-defense?
Thank you

#1 Yes, they are good guns
#2 I'd stay with a 12. You can buy 12 guage shells that duplicate 20 perfromance and recoil if recoil is a problem. You cannot get 20 guage shells that will duplicate 12 perfromance.If you want a lighter gun for carrying long distances the 20 makes lots of sense.
#3 No personal experience. I would think they might be a viable option for SD purposes, but not needed for hunting.
#4 Probably not. I do at times use an extended aftermarket extra full tube for turkey hunting. I could probably do just fine with the factory full choke tube.
#5 For SD buy some type of buckshot. I don't worry too much about brand, or even size. I do not recommend smaller birdshot unless nothing else is available. For hunting, there are too many factors to list here. One of the great things about shotguns is their adaptability. You can use a wide variety of ammo to fit the application.
As an all around, do everything gun I like the 24" barrel, especially on a Benelli. A longer barrel would make wingshooting a little easier, but the 24" is certainly useable and is a good compromise if turkey hunting and SD are in the mix. A 24" barreled Benelli is about the same overall length and balance as most other guns with a 26" barrel.

It works. With 3-1/2" shells it bites. Hard. Any pump will do the same. Good 3" loads for turkeys are gracious plenty in my opinion.
I would skip the sights and other modifications until you get a few hundred rounds thru it, then you can decide. For hunting anything other than with a dedicated gun for deer with slugs, I would skip anything but possibly an optical red dot sight.

Kicks like a mule. I used mine for turkey and that piece of concrete on the end they call a butt pad hurt. Mine didn't have the comfort stock so I can't comment on that. I didn't purchase the mercury recoil reducer since it was more of a walking gun instead of a blind gun.

They work fine on gobblers.
Sorry about the crappy cell phone pic. This was a 20# bird taken from 30 yards with a head shot. Federal #4 3 1/2" magnum load with flite control wad, extra full turkey choke. This is a very reliable gun, so long as you do not short shuck it.
When you nail a gobbler, you won't notice the recoil. I have never bothered with anything other than standard optics so I can't speak to how the ghost rings will work.

I've never hunted Turkey but I have used an Benelli Supernova for several seasons of waterfowl hunting and I think it is a great gun. Have the Comfortec stock on it which I like and think helps with big goose loads. It seems easy enough to mount optics/iron on it as well which I guess is a plus.
If thinking HD, I quite like SSG for a shot size.

Re: Benelli SuperNova What Do I Need To Know?
1. Beretta A300 Outlander - Best performance for value, hardly kicks at all compared to my Benelli sn configured the same way.
2. Winchester SX3 NWTF Cantilever Turkey with 24" barrel! Love this gun for everything but kind of pricey compared to the Benelli and Beretta.
3. Winchester 1400 mkii. Just an old shotgun I picked up at a gun show for 80 bucks!

It kicks like a mule comments is making me nervous because I would like my wife to be able to shoot it as well. She is a very petite woman and her dislike in shooting this particular shotgun may damper her enthusiasm for my future acquisitions
For those that are hunting regularly or own different quality hunting shotguns specifically for wild game i.e. turkey, could you please suggest the best three different models from your own experience. It should meet the following criteria besides the Beretta A300 Outlander and Winchester SX3 NWTF Cantilever Turkey with 24" barrel stated by HeisRisen.
1. Price between $800-$900
2. Models in both 12GA or 20GA (or reduction in recoil for the 12GA with the right load)
3. Has models in 24 inch barrel

Why not look at a mossberg semi-auto combo package. Semi-auto's are softer shooting than pump guns. They have 20 gauges too...all in the price range you describe.

Lemon, for a change
My supernova was brand new and soon started ejecting live shells onto the ground instead of feeding them into the receiver. It went back to Benelli at my expense and got fixed at no other charge.
What was wrong, I don't know to this day. Several gunsmiths/dealers/buddies looked at it and couldn't tell. (Please don'
t bother with the hindsight gentlemen) No brand is 100% flawless 100% of the time. I would buy another Benelli no problem when the price is right.

LED...I'm NOT saying you were doing this...but I can sometimes get mine to drop live shells by short shucking the pump.

Doublea A, don't stress about the recoil from a supernova. With the comfortex they don't kick like a mule any more than anything else. (If you are worried about recoil though, I would suggest a gas operated semi as the most likely to damp recoil).
If you are worried about recoil, don't run 3.5" magnums through it. Lots of geese (and I'm sure turkey) have been killed with what might be considered relatively mild 2.75" & 3" loads in days gone by. And let's be honest, most of us in the goose world like the 3.5" shells for the volume of shot they give us (steel needs larger shot size than lead and other alternatives) so it is more about insuring pattern density. Remember, pattern kills. Therefore, a blown, heavy fast load is less useful than a consistent, uniform patterning load.

Thanks for all the input.
For Graduation gift my wife and I went to Cabelas and I purchased a Mossberg 500 Turkey Thugs in a 12GA 20 in barrel. I will take it to the range and give a report later.

damnit, Leroy..
The headline caught my eye, and made me expect some mechanism whereby rubbish bounced off dumps at an acute angle, enforcing recycling..
Beijing is putting up 100 giant deodorant sprays which can jet perfume over rubbish dumps in order to reduce their acrid smell. Continued economic growth in China means increasing pressure on landfill sites. Pressure also comes from China's growing middle class which increasingly complains about government decisions, just like …
The headline caught my eye, and made me expect some mechanism whereby rubbish bounced off dumps at an acute angle, enforcing recycling..
A similar system was used in my home town when they decided that, rather than run the sewage works correctly so that it didn't make a stink, they'd prefer to spray cheap deodorant into the air, making my whole neighbourhood smell like a public toilet.
(oh come on it had to be done)
This used to be one of Slough's notable features -- you'd haul passing the town because nestled between the M4 and the playing fields of Eton was one seriously overloaded sewerage works complete with deodorant sprays. The result was pretty nasty...nothing for it but to wind the windows up and put your foot down.
I suppose that when they put an evil smelling sewage works in Slough they used the "Urban Regeneration" budget to pay for it?
Why don't they just send it to walmart, we will pay for it before it gets thrown out.
... point it a parliament?
I fixed that for you.
You'd think if the Chinese government can make its citizens limit their reproduction to one child, it'd be possible to make people recycle.
Given their abilities to actually make use of raw materials, you'd think they'd jump at the chance. This story makes me wonder if recycling is just a myth?
Perhaps the landfill is just the shite that we send there, ostensibly for recycling, but in reality just buried, coming (as we know it often does) with a fee for the recipient, paid by the British local authority, as a means of avoiding the EU per-tonne fine on landfill.
What about organic waste? It seems like you need incinerators for much of those.
Perhaps most of the rubbish is used condoms?
I can only hope they are CFC-free
That's the second largest deodorant applicator I've ever seen
I'll ask.
So, tell me, what is the biggest one you've seen?
The Chinese are big into recycling. The difference between the rich and poor classes, is so massive that their are several levels of poor. So their are people hoovering up every bit of plastic, glass and metal, thrown away by the middle class. In fact, you can get arrested for removing plastic bottles from trash cans on trains. Taking trash is theft in China. At least the bottles, anyways.
But even then, there are about 15 million people Beijing. Once all of the metal, plastic and glass are picked up, what's left is going to be nasty.
They appear to be testing a new delivery method for WMD. Lewis should be dispatched to inform Jack Straw immediately.
Beijing has been like that for many a year but people are probably learning the art of not complaining and getting on with it.
...when my family lived in France during the mid 1950s. It was fairly common in those days for many French to just not bathe daily (maybe weekly?). To combat the reeking body odor they would just splash on strong perfume. The combination of sweet perfume and pungent B.O. was nauseating. I'm guessing China's similar strategy of trying to just cover up the horrendous stench with perfume will result in a much stronger olfactory abusing outcome, especially when you consider the exponential scale of the madness.
There's a rumour that Queen Elizabeth I was so fussy about hygiene that she bathed every Easter, whether she needed it or not!
Westerners always laugh and point and say "ooooooh, look what the naughty funny little Chinese people are doing now, aren't they bad?"
The local dump, er, Ryde Recycling Management Station has had this for years now, and the Great Armpit, er, Sydney ran out of landfill several years back and has to ship it all 250km SW and is rapidly filling up valleys of prime farmland with, er, shit. All of course done by "Recycling Management Executive Contractors" or GARBOs as we used to call them.
Most people here are fooled by the word "recycling" when in reality it stands for "recycling as landfill to build cheap housing on in 25 years. Sorry about the subsidence! Bye now!"
Hopefully China might come up with some better ideas the the morons who run the "Great Western Democracies".
like the City Council in NZ I used to work for many moons ago.
When the rubbish dump got filled up ,we put a layer of dirt over it and called the -Duke of Edinborough Park.
I had to install a stormwater pipe across it, and the exavation for that caused the most awful stink I have ever smelled .
Worked on Sewer systems for 10 years and the sewers were like a breath of fresh air compared with that job.
when reconstructing a street in a city in NZ, about 45 years ago, the pong from the ground had people gasping etc.
I went along the job with a napsack sprayer spraying a magic product that solved the pong problem
It didn't actually remove the pong it just affected the olfactory system so that people could no longer detect it.
Worked very well. It must have been potent as its effects lasted a long time.
It was a product called Alamask , that had different chemicals for almost every bad smell in creation.
You know you are still smelling the shit, but can now taste the thick aerosol spray in the air on top of it.
You can tell it was a particularly bad one when the air is incredibly thick with air freshener but the smell still has that nasty undertone.
"Great, now it smells like someone took a shite in a pine tree"

New season, new look! Nicole Richie took a few inches off her hair this week, debuting the new style at a party in Los Angeles.
"I felt like I wanted to take a little length off," she told InStyle.com Tuesday. So how does she style the new do? "When I get out of the shower, I twist my hair and put it up," she explained. "I let the roots air dry, then I take it down after a few hours. It creates a nice wave."
The California blonde went brunette in 2009, changing back to golden locks in 2010 and chopping her hair later that year. Tell us: What do you think of Richie's cut?
