That douche with the giant American flag is yours truly. This was on Independence Pass, the "queen stage".
New MTB, new home, new ride
This blog has obviously been benched for quite some time, but I've still been riding. Also some other things like buying and selling our first home, buying a new one, making babies, switching jobs then switching back. It's been busy in the MikHousehold. My riding has been relegated primarily to commuting or shorter rides. It's tough to go out for 4-6 hour rides around Denver leaving the wife with the little ones. So I bought a bike trailer, my son won't sit still long enough for a 4 hour ride but he's great on hour long ones. Which is what I recently did in my new home in Highlands Ranch.
I had no idea the amount of parks, trails, bike lanes, etc that existed in Highlands Ranch. This place is a perfect community for any kind of riding whether that be road cycling, mountain biking, or a casual family cruise. I've even been out on the bike to get groceries a few times, something I never did before.
Yesterday I took advantage of the great cycling conditions in Highlands Ranch and took my son in the bike trailer on some of the trails. There was no pre-planned route, I've just been going out exploring with my son in tow. We ended up climbing a trail in Bluffs Regional park and it was well worth it. The trails were all cement until just past Quebec where I hit some dirt that lasted all the way into Bluffs. Aside from the occasional jogger or strolling couple the trails were empty. Traffic was non existent except for crossing Quebec which had a light and crosswalks.
Dirt trails leading to and in Bluffs were very well maintained. Bluffs trails are beginner friendly, the most you have to contend with is loose gravel. Even the climbs aren't extremely steep. They could easily be navigated on a hybrid bike or a road bike with cyclocross tires. You wouldn't want to try it on slicks, too much slipping.
Here is the route I took. http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/306081675

True Cost of Commuting (thanks MMM)
I don't consider myself a true advocate of commuting by bike because we simply don't live in an ideal bike to work world. I also don't advocate that we should drastically change the way our transportation and routes function to encourage bike commuting. That's because I am also practical and pragmatic. However, I am an advocate of saving money and you can save gobs of money by limiting your commuting. Just check out the info below which from my own anecdotal evidence is accurate.
Here's the original MMM article. http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/10/06/the-true-cost-of-commuting/
Use a bike
First Mountain Bike and new commute
Finally bought a mountain bike, a used Specialized Hardrock with disc brakes. I had been hunting for probably a year off an on debating whether to buy new or used. Then I got a new job with a commute that is not very road bike friendly. So the decision to buy a used mountain bike to commute on without the worry of expensive repairs became an easy choice. Below is the new much shorter commute as well.
It needed a bath and some adjustments. I also put on my clipless pedals, some lights, and a different saddle. It will need a tune up, new tires and stuff eventually, but otherwise it's good to go and I rode it in this morning. A lot slower on the hills and I already found the extent of the gears on the flat parts so I won't be setting any speed records, but I can also hop off curbs with easy and up them! Plus if I want to take short cuts on the dirt paths along the route I can.
I'm KOM again!
Everything came together and I got my KOM back on the little hill by my place. It's short and not really that difficult but there's a stupid stop light in the middle that was always red. Yesterday that light turned green! Yeah, it's not much but it's nice to have at least one KOM.

Quick review of Strava
I first heard of Strava way back in 2011 during the giro or ToC or maybe both. It looked pretty neat but I thought it was just for GPS devices like garmins. Little did I know that they also have an app that you can download for your GPS smartphone which includes Android and iPhone. Previously I had used MapMyRide which was ok, but drained the battery of both my iPhone and Android so I gave up on it. That is my first good thing to say about Strava. With the GPS running and the app recording just under an hour long ride, I only lost 17% of my battery. Oh, and I was also listening to music. Part of that might be a testament to my HTC Evo, even after 2 years the battery life is still pretty good for a powerful phone.
Strava incorporates some additional social features though that really set it apart. Like twitter and facebook you can add friends to follow. These can be local cycling buddies who have also signed up with Strava (or linked their facebook accounts) or you can follow pro's! When following pros you even get to see their race times.
If you aren't into the social scene but you're competitive, you will love "segments". Segments are basically race sections that can be part of your ride, or your ride that day. In fact, along my commute is a segment that I didn't even know about. Now that I do, I'm going to bust ass next time to make a better time and rise in the ranks.My next ride will be one that I frequent, deer creek canyon up high grade road. Which is also a segment so I can actually compare my horrible time against the best Denver has to offer.
Still not convinced? How about a free app that also measures power, speed, distance, and elevation all in nice little graphs? Strava will detail your ride for you down to the mile and show where you mashed your pedals to increase watts, slowed down, sped up, max speed, etc. Knowing the ride you can say, oh yeah I went 38.3mph right there because it's a descent and I stopped shortly after because there was an intersection.
And of course, Strava maps out your ride as well and if you give it your weight it will tell you how many calories you burned, approximately of course.
Here's a great example of my commute into work from Ken Caryl to Downtown Denver. Check out the pretty graphs!
Murphy's Law of Cycling
OCR1 is back!
My Giant OCR1 just got back from the shop last night with two new wheels, a compact double crank, new chain, cables, and computer. I brought it in to have a deluxe tune up done (which my boss bought me over at GearHost!) and found out the rear wheel was cracking and the crank was cracked. The estimate was over $700 to fix everything right then and there at the LBS, which is $200 more than I paid for the entire bike. Since I have a new born to consider I decided to bring my commuter in and finally get that fixed which ended up being over $200 on it's own. At least then I could ride back and forth to work which saves me money overall. And commute I did!
Cracked wheels and cranks don't happen every day, except when you have the worst year of crashes ever. I'm pretty sure I crashed at least once a month and I don't think that was an average. Anyway, I think the last really bad one was the final contributor. On top of that my commuter was out of action so I was riding my OCR1 back and forth to work. The OCR1 being my recreational "riding" bike and the OCR3 (commuter) dedicated to commuting. For those who own just one bike, the reason I have a dedicated commuter is because it's a daily rider which takes a lot more punishment than my other bike.
By finding wheels and a crank on craigslist I was able to save more than $200. I also got the wheels I wanted and almost the crank. I got the right model but forget to check the crank arm length and got a 170 instead of a 175. I'll find out today what that means. In the future I'll also need to switch out the front derailleur from a triple to a double since I switched that crank.
Here's the total cost for everything and good reason why you don't commute on the same bike you "ride".
- Wheelset – Mavic Aksium Race $155
- Crank – Shimano 105 Compact Double (50/34) $50
- Chain – Ultegra $50
- Cable – $5
- Bottom Bracket – $30
- Bar tape – $15
- Tubes – $10
- Deluxe Tune Up – $135
- Additional Labor – $44
Total Cost: $494
If I got the parts from the LBS it would have been over $700. So for the same price I paid for the bike I was able to repair it. This is an expensive hobby.

Aggressive policing, discrimination, and unfair suspension policies are just a few of the many hits the Wake County Public School System is taking in a short documentary sponsored by the Education Justice Alliance, NC HEAT, Coalition of Concerned Citizens for African American Children, Justice Served NC and the Push Out Prevention Project.
One of the stars of the documentary is Travis Wiggins. He's 21 years old now and is a freshman at Wake Tech Community College. But he remembers a time when he said he was unfairly treated. "I went to Millbrook High School and Broughton High School. I learned that people are willing to help and some people are not" said Wiggins.
At both schools, on separate occasions, he said he was suspended. "Long story short, I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. I was picked out, but at the end of the day when I went to court, the victims said I was not guilty."
Julia Nieves is a Community Outreach Director at Legal Aid of North Carolina. She said, "Instead of suspending kids automatically, let's have a restorative justice program. Let's have peer mediation. In no way shape or form are we saying kids shouldn't have consequences but we are saying that students make mistakes and that there are many different ways to address those mistakes instead of pushing them out of school."
A documentary screening of "Mission Critical: Ending the School to Prison Pipeline" explored those topics.
It showed data explaining that minority and low income students are more likely to get suspended.
But some critics with the Wake County School Board said complaints like these will only make it harder for the school system to discipline students.
Some of the organizations that sponsored the documentary were also involved in filing an official complaint with the Department of Justice against the Wake County Public School System. A spokeswoman with WCPSS there said they are currently reviewing the complaint.

World Cup Day 13: The Good, The Bad, and The (very) Ugly
Hungry for another World Cup recap? Chew on this:
The bite that BROKE the internet: @luis16suarez mentions: Before the bite: 100k After: 2 million (via @TwitterData) pic.twitter.com/ThbyNi5wpi— FOX Sports Live (@FOXSportsLive)June 24, 2014
Suarez's third career bite for club and country was obviously THE viral story of the day, so we're going to start with "the ugly" and save the
best good for last. Bon appetit!
Suarez is making a habit of snacking on his opponents (is human flesh really that tasty? Is the joke on us?). The Liverpool star was suspended ten Premier League games for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic last season, and 7 games by the Dutch league for munching on PSV's Ottman Bakkal in 2010 while at Ajax.
On Tuesday, Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini became Vampire Suarez's latest victim. Note the bite mark on Chiellini's shoulder in the picture above. The referee did not see it, so no foul was called, but the rest of the world's population did and responded accordingly:
SUAREZ BITE. THIS WORLD CUP HAS EVERYTHING— Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers)June 24, 2014
Suarez going with the 'if you can't beat them eat them' approach.— Sydney Leroux (@sydneyleroux)June 24, 2014
I guess any part of the body is up for eating.— Evander Holyfield (@holyfield)June 24, 2014
The whole biting thing. I just don't get it. This is a conversation for a 3 year old, not a grown man repeatedly. #Suarez— Julie Foudy (@JulieFoudy)June 24, 2014
Suarez is an absolute disgrace sorry. Biting players is gross and against everything about the game. Talent for sure but no thanks. #URU— Taylor Twellman (@TaylorTwellman)June 24, 2014
Tell me Suarez didn't eat someone….was the hero a couple a days ago….— Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5)June 24, 2014
So glad we don't have a biter in the women's game. #ouch— Alex Morgan (@alexmorgan13)June 24, 2014
When the incident first happened, we weren't exactly sure if Suarez seriously did it again. Good thing we have video replay now:
All the proof I need. pic.twitter.com/rqIVc5V6Ye— Red PierreEmilery (@redrobbery)June 24, 2014
Yup. He really did it. For a THIRD time. Which begs the following, excellent questions:
Does Suarez understand how cameras work?— Jason Davis (@davisjsn)June 24, 2014
How's he going to blame the English media this time? We're all at another game.— Daniel Taylor (@DTguardian)June 24, 2014
I ask this with full knowledge no one knows the answer: what the heck goes on in Suarez's head to make him think that's OK?— Andrew Das (@AndrewDasNYT)June 24, 2014
So how is Luis Suarez's heartwarming redemption story going?— Graham Ruthven (@grahamruthven)June 24, 2014
If only these vendors had told Suarez this before the game:
Hey @luis16suarez. Next time you're hungry just grab a Snickers. #worldcup #luissuarez #EatASNICKERS pic.twitter.com/3RAO537HjW— SNICKERS® (@SNICKERS)June 24, 2014
Hola @luis16suarez, si te quedaste con hambre vení a darle un mordisco a una BigMac ;)— McDonald's Uruguay (@McDonalds_Uy)June 24, 2014
In Suarez's defense…
To be fair to Luis Suarez, I can't resist an Italian sub either.— Jason O. Gilbert (@gilbertjasono)June 24, 2014

How did information arise spontaneously from inanimate matter?
Lately I have been pondering the question of the origin of life. Would appreciate feedback on this question and if there are any logical errors in my thought process leading up to it.
In Franklin M. Harold's book: "The Way of the Cell," I read the following quote:
"Life arose here on earth from inanimate matter, by some kind of evolutionary process, about four billion years ago. " This may be expressed more generically as:
"Life arose here on earth from inanimate matter spontaneously about four billion years ago."
Later I read an article by Paul Davies, Professor at Arizona State University, in an online article called: "OriginsOfLife_II" that contained the following condensed quote "The revolution in the biological sciences ... has revealed ... that the secret of the cell lies ... with its extraordinary information storing and processing abilities. . "
If the above 2 statements are true, then one could rewrite Harold's statement as:
"Information arose here on earth spontaneously about four billion years ago."
As there can be many uses of the word "information," please limit your responses specifically to its use in molecular biology as "coded chemistry." That is, the sequence of the amino acids in protein are "encoded" in the sequence of the DNA molecule. To "decode" the meaning, one needs to use the "Codon" table.
Has anyone read any hypotheses on how this kind of information can arise spontaneously from inanimate matter?

NASHVILLE (AP/WATE) - The Tennessee Department of Education has awarded 3-year school improvement grants totaling more than $27 million in federal funds to 17 schools, including Sarah Moore Greene Elementary in Knox County.
The schools are among the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools in the state, in terms of academic achievement.
Sarah Moore Greene Elementary School will receive a grant of $1,504,045.
Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman says a priority of the administration is to turn around those low-performing schools, and he believes the grant will give them the necessary resources, time and personnel to do that.
Officials say the grant will also give school principals a chance to work together in the state's Turnaround Principal Cohort, which allows them to facilitate discussions and share ideas and practices on a peer-to-peer level.

Chapter 10.
Cassie's P.O.V
It is the day of the wedding. We decided to have it on the 10th of December. Don't ask why, we just did. I was sitting bouncing my knee up and down whilst having my hair pinned into place. Yes I'm nervous. Not because I'm having doubts, I'm scared something goes wrong. I want this to be perfect. 'Will you please stop moving whilst I'm trying to do this? You're worse than a child.' My best friend Jenny told me.
Someone knocked at the door. 'Come in!' Bob walked in as my hair was finished. I stood up and I was ready. 'Well what do you think?' I asked as I did a little twirl.
'Cassie you look amazing. I just hope Frank can keep his hands of you till after the reception.' He chuckled.
Yes to explain about that comment. Bob will never let the fact go that he heard Frank and I... Well I think you get it. After that we decided maybe it would be better if I move in with Frank.
I blushed. 'Will you ever let that go?' He just shook his head.
After a few minutes of talking mum burst through the door.
'Oh darling you look so beautiful. Bob! You look amazing too. Who knew you could scrub up well?' I chuckled and Bob gave us both a death glare. 'I'm so excited I have been looking forward to this day ever since I found out I was pregnant with Bob. One of my children's weddings I mean. I'm not surprised it's you settling down first to be honest. Bob being a rock star and all.' From the corner of my eyes I could see Bob rolling his. This is so typical mum. 'Then again I'm still shocked it's happening to you as well. You were always so shy. Oh just look at yourself.'
I haven't actually seen myself yet. I walked over to the full length mirror. I gasped as I saw the girl looking back at me. Surely that can't be me.
'Caz of course it's you.' Bob chuckled. Wait did I say that out loud.
After about five minutes of talking about when we were children Bob got a message from Ray telling us it was time. I decided I wanted Bob to give me away seeing as my dad left a year after I was born. Ray was being the best man seeing as Frank had known him longer.
We walked to the big oak doors of the church and the music started.
It was time. The big day that I was going to remember for the rest of my life. The day I become Mrs. Iero.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) -- A major construction project in Harrisonburg that was supposed to be completed more than a month ago is still not finished.
The Erickson Avenue - Stone Spring Road connection will connect the east and west sections of Harrisonburg.
Phase three, which will connect South Main and High Streets, was delayed because of a water main break.
Harrisonburg Vice Mayor Charlie Chenault said this road should be finished by the beginning of November.
Crews spent time this afternoon laying concrete along the section closest to Pear Street.
The new road will accommodate bikers with bike lanes, as well as walkers.
Once it's finished, it will help ease traffic in other parts of the city.
Initially, the contractor was so ahead of schedule that the date was moved to September.
"Yes, we did have a major break in a 30 inch water line which had to be repaired. It wasn't anticipated and it wasn't part of the project, but you know, we had to fix something that big. It is important to note though that the contractor is still ahead of schedule," said Chenault.
Once this road is finished, it's supposed to help ease traffic on Port Republic Road and Maryland Avenue.
Phase four will be on the other side of Route 42.
The city is applying for a $2.5 million revenue sharing grant for that.
They'd have to match that amount, but Chenault said that grant would help them get most of that phase finished.

Back in 2012, when we made our storage predictions for this year, we remarked on the relevance of the "software defined" tag to the orchestration of storage resources: "Software defined storage will have significant impact on cloud, appliances and SSDs/Flash storage implementations. Software that is policy-based and treats storage resources agnostically will increase in order for data centers to become more adaptive."
So, how is this playing out? The addition of a layer of non-proprietary software abstraction creates the opportunity to manage storage more flexibly, which is a worthy goal. Software-defined storage has the potential to spell the end of over-provisioning as storage can be allocated more accurately from a wider pool. It also frees organisations from the cost overheads associated with proprietary storage.
Most of all it enables storage to be managed in a way which fits with application needs rather than the other way around. The historical challenges associated with storage allocation cause friction in more ways than one - not only are applications constrained, but the dialogue between application managers and storage managers represents an unnecessary overhead.
This being said, the process of getting there isn't going to be completely straightforward for a number of reasons - not least that it isn't easy to provision traditional, hardwired, LUN-based storage dynamically. Getting the existing, 'legacy' storage environment into shape will take time.
Even once this is done (in whole or in part), a second challenge emerges - the practicalities of data movement. Network constraints mean that shifting large quantities of data around takes time. As storage needs grow to cloud scale the problem gets bigger in parallel - potential applications are hampered by data friction.
A further challenge comes as a direct consequence of implementing centralised storage management capability. Not least that security and availability need to be considered across the whole storage environment, rather than providing assurances around individual storage devices.
Over the coming years, we expect to see storage become as easy to provision as processing and network resources, and therefore less and less of a bottleneck in the data centre. This opens the door to new types of application, for example, being able to quickly allocate all spare storage to big data analytics if it is not being used for anything else.
Software defined storage is less a case of offering infinite capacity - there will always be more to be done than resources available. However, by offering frictionless accessibility, organisations should be able to make much more of this vital resource.
Please share your thoughts below, what are the trends you are seeing in this area?

Graduation Day Lyrics
Bernie Mac Impersonator:
I told you to do some shit for the kids
You can give me those motherfucking graduation tickets right now
You give me this motherfucking robe, cap, and gown alright
You will not walk across that stage
You won't slide across that stage
Motherfucker can't pull you across that motherfucking stage
Who told you to, I told you to do something uplifting
I am trying to get you out here with these white people and
This is how you gone do me
You know what, You'z a nigga
And I don't mean that in no nice way
Got the lil' kids singing about the shit now the jokes on you
You throw your motherfucking hands in the air
And wave goodbye to every fucking body
You can get the fuck off this campus
What the fuck you gone do now?
I'm no longer confused but don't tell anybody.
I'm about to break the rules but don't tell anybody.
I got something better than school but don't tell anybody.
My momma would kill me so don't tell anybody.
She wants me to get a good ass job just like everybody.
She ain't walked in my shoes I'm just not everybody.

Food & Recipes
Healthy and Unhealthy Summer Drinks
Think Before Ordering continued...
Cross uses diet tonic and a whole lime for plenty of vitamin C. "On the second one," she whispers, "I leave out the gin. You can't taste the difference."
Cross also professes a fondness for mint juleps. Use only fresh mint, she says, and don't crush it into the sugar in the glass; use a mortar and pestle. "You can get the mint oils out with less sugar that way," she says, crediting her mother for this advice.
Blue also says a Tom Collins (lemon juice, gin, sugar, club soda, and a cherry), is a fine summer drink.
Spritzers are also fairly healthful. You cut the wine with club soda. "You can use white Zinfandel, white wine, red wine -- anything you have," Blue says. To make it sangria, dump in cut fruit.
Commercial wine coolers, though, tend to contain a lot of calories and chemicals.
What about the summer favorite -- beer? Beer contains a number of nutrients, Cross acknowledges, and has been consumed for millennia. "Like any liquid calories, it goes down so easily," she sighs. Remember, a beer contains a shot of ethanol, just like a glass of wine or a gin and tonic.
Nonalcoholic Drinks
The No. 1 summer drink? Water! It can be bottled, filtered, or the water cooler variety. "If you get sick of it," Cross says, "try icing a pitcher of it with cut lemons and limes packed in it. Freeze fruit in cubes and use those."
Iced tea comes in second. Cross recommends making a sugar syrup that's half sugar and half water -- boiled until it's clear -- and then let it cool. "Use this in it instead of that granulated sugar that falls to the bottom," she says. "You will use less sugar." Green tea is also a refreshing iced variety, although recent studies put in doubt its purported powers as an antioxidant. You can also make iced tea with garden herbs, such as rosemary or lemon verbena.
If you don't want to heat up the house, make sun tea. Put a clean glass jug full of water and tea bags in the sun for half a day. Be sure everything is clean, because this never gets hot enough to kill organisms. But it also is never so hot it melts the ice.
Pomegranate juice is loaded with antioxidants. It goes well with fruit, club soda, and if you must, any clear alcohol.
Any full-sugar soda is a poor summer choice, Cross says. A soft drink can contain 16 teaspoons of sugar -- and that sneaky corn sugar, at that. Sugar makes you thirstier. All sodas, even diet, she says, contain a lot of chemicals that do nothing for you. "I do like soda for cleaning stuck-on pots," she says. "Just soak overnight!"

eBay glossary
eBay acronyms
A-Z index
Important news for sellers
All sellers appreciate quick payment and most only dispatch after receiving payment, so it's good to pay as soon as you win or buy an item. You can pay by clicking the Pay now button in the email notification or in the listing. The seller will be paid and will know to send your item immediately. Otherwise, we recommend paying within 2 days of the sale. Some sellers include information on when they expect to be paid in their listings.
No matter which payment method you use, clicking the Pay now button is the fastest way to pay on eBay. For more information on how to find this button and make a payment, see How do I pay for my item?
How you pay for items you buy on eBay depends on the payment options offered by the seller. Before you bid, read the item description carefully to learn what kinds of payments the seller accepts.
Cash, cheques, and other non-secure methods aren't allowed for most eBay purchases, with a few exceptions.
All sellers offer at least one of the approved electronic payments method such as PayPal or accept credit card payments. (When you pay with a credit card using the Pay now button, your seller never sees your credit card number.)
In some circumstances, there may also be the option of payment on collection, where you can use whatever payment method the seller specifies, including cash.
To compare payment methods, see choosing a payment method (for buyers).
If you have questions about your payment, contact your seller.
After you've won an auction-style listing or clicked the Buy it now button, you'll see the Pay now button:
In the confirmation email you receive from eBay
On the invoice email we send you on behalf of the seller
In the listing
In the Won section of My eBay
Click the Pay now button.
Check your delivery information. If you need to correct or update anything, click the Change postage address link.
Review your purchase, including P&P. Tick the box next to the items you want to pay for. If the seller offers more than one delivery option, select the one you want. If you're paying with a voucher, enter the redemption code (you'll need to pay with PayPal to redeem any eBay vouchers). If you have questions about the total amount you owe, click the Request total from seller link.
Click the Continue button.
Select a payment method.
Confirm your payment. Make sure your postage details, payment method, and order details are correct.
Click the Confirm your payment button. You'll receive an email confirming receipt of your payment and letting you know when your item will be sent.
Sellers can't require you to use payment methods that aren't allowed on eBay or weren't described in the listing. If a seller wants to change payment methods after a listing ends, you can still pay using one of the methods mentioned in the original listing. For details, see the accepted payments policy.
If your seller doesn't use eBay checkout, you'll receive an invoice or other payment instructions from the seller to help you complete your purchase.
Cheques, postal orders, and bank wire transfers aren't allowed for most eBay purchases. But you can use these payment methods for items you collect in person. For details, see the accepted payments policy.
Contact your seller straight away with any questions about payment. Once you've won or bought an item, you're expected to pay as soon as possible and no later than 2 days after you win or buy an item. If you don''t pay for your item, the seller may open a case to work this out with you in our Resolution Centre.
If you don't receive your item or it's not as described, you can open a case in our Resolution Centre to work it out with the seller. You can open the case the day after the estimated delivery date or 7 days after paying for the item if no estimated delivery date is given. If the item is not as described, you can open a case as soon as you receive it.

Here are some registry repair tools listed. These tools may be helpful for installer problems. They will help you to correct your flightsim path registry values and analyze some other problems.
FSX: The registry key of interest is the SetupPath in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\microsoft games\flight simulator\10.0
Nearly 90% of all problems with our online software is caused through these kind of third party softwares. So if you don't get connected, started or properly installed, it is most probably caused by these softwares.
Problem Candidates
Sometimes you need to deinstall these kind of software, turning them off isn't always successful.
Probably you got firewalled! FSCopilot doesn't get access to the FSX SimConnect module, based on TCP/IP protocol. On FSInsider.com there is an article about this problem.
If you get Errors such Failed to create FSCopilotFSInn.Chat simply uninstall both FSInn and FSCopilot, then install FSCopilot. This time check the very first option available. Check if you want that the installer try to update your system files.(You may install VB6 runtime and VB6 common controls by yourself).
VB components are released by Microsoft, so no harm on your system files will be caused by selecting this option. If you prefer to download and install the files VIA Microsoft, follow this link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=25437D98-51D0-41C1-BB14-64662F5F62FE&displaylang=en. After this VB6 runtime and common controls installation you can proceed installing FSInn.
In addition you can verify your VB6 files with the FSFDTToolKit.exe tool. See the system tab for details.
Another simple solution: Open the FSInn UI outside of FS once from the Start/programes/fsfdt menu and open the chat. Close all and it should be solved.
Close your running FlightSimulator and run FSInnUI.exe from the system "Start" menu. This runs FSInn User interface outside of FS (you dont need to run FS while running FSInnUI). Open the chat while using FSInnUI. close everything and launch FS, it should be solved.
If you encounter this particular error, download the FSFDTToolkit on the top of this page, and run it, check the system tab, if you find a RICHTX32.ocx file on the System file part you should go in the folder indicated, and rename this file to something like RICHTX32.OCX.OLD don't delete it in case you encounter troubles you might then rename it back again. After doing that try running FSInUI again and click on chat, it should then be working.
The text message generated when selecting the ALT button in quick text does not replace the $ALT with the variable Altitude. There's a missing $ALT var definition in the SPEEDCHAT.TXT. One needs to edit the file and add this to the section:
$ALT Altitude
This will be fixed on next FSInn1.3 version. — Alexander 2007/03/25 22:17
Linksys WRT54G: DirectPlay8 access isn't possible, while UPnP is enabled. FSInn label stays orange. So just turn off the Upnp service on your router to get FSInn to work.
PC1 Error:
Solution doing such steps:
Vista users, and FSInn testers , to help us, illustrate here how you succeeded to make FSInn work on vista, defining the needed security exceptions.
Solution: The solution to the problem I found was that the - setup path - for the FSX in the registery (regedit) was surrounded with double quotes. Therefore the FSCopilot1.7 could not append its own path..
Here a path (example) to be found in regedit:
..so I removed the double quotes and it installed fine. Have fun, Mike.
Or just use one of the tools to repair the installation path in the registry (click here) Alexander 2007/11/09 06:57
In addition, you open regedit, and type in the installation path, usually "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X" then rename the SetupPath 'SetupPath' It should now work

Small Cool 2010: Ben's Creative Transformations
Tiny Division #13
Who Lives Here: Ben and his dog, Hinckley
Location: Portland, Maine
Size: 535 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home? I like objects that are fun and playful. My kitchen counter, a piece of reclaimed bowling lane, is one of my favorites — it has divots in the wood where the bowling balls hit the floor. I love the creativity involved in transforming pieces that were designed for one use and 'repurposing' them into something new.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? My biggest challenge, living in a 535 square feet space, is editing. Not displaying everything you have is key. Displaying too much can make a great space or a unique collection into ugly clutter. I have favorite pieces stored under the bed, up high in my one 'true' closet, at my girlfriend's apartment, etc. I think it's important to periodically walk around my space with the goal of taking things away for awhile; to de-clutter. I certainly make as many donations to Goodwill as I do purchases.
Resources - craigslist.com, past employers Angela Adams and Objet Insolite, thrift stores, flea markets, a secrete barn in Central Maine, Velocityartanddesign.com, etc.

I love the light fixture in the living area.
This is nice, I like the layout and the fireplaces. Thumbs up for me.
The gray walls in the living area are so warm. Really gorgeous. What color/brand is that?
The blue Malm in the bedroom--heaven!
Great job. Love the space, the color of the walls and the fact that your sofa is facing the mantel. Also love the light fixture in the living room. Love your collection of globes, which includes an inflatable globe! Nice whimsical touch to a collection which can get too serious.
I adore the large green painting, did you do that? Lastly, the heater in the bedroom is really cool. There's only one thing I would edit. I don't like the finial on the top of your lamp, I think that should go. If you win the contest maybe you can get a new lamp.
Great job.
Love it!
Is that a contact paper/mural-y type of thing on your refrigerator?
How did you get that woodstove into your bedroom? Does it actually work? Do you own your place?
Also, seconded, where did the hanging light fixture in the living room come from? I feel I've seen it before but I can't place it.
I love the somewhat distressed bedroom floor look, and the big green/blue painting, and the small dining table in the bay window.... the only thing that kind of strikes me odd is the trunk-as-coffee-table seems a little small. But then I like big coffee tables that I can cover in clutter and then be frustrated about, so don't listen to me. :)
All-in-all, well done!
Bonus points for not having huge flatscreen TV as the focal point of your living room.
Agree with Peggy re lamp finial -- but do tell us about the hanging light fixture in the living room -- I love it!
this is very cool and unique! i love the repetition of the globes especially!
You've done a great job mixing pieces here. The tufted leather couch is beautiful and unexpected, we don't see enough of them on AT. Had you had some low slung MCM couch, the room wouldn't pack nearly the same punch. Great work!
Absolutely love... don't even know where to being. Grey/white combo in living room/kitchen is so elegant. My only complaint would be no photo including Hinckley. :-)
Sweet couch.
"I don't like the finial on the top of your lamp, I think that should go. If you win the contest maybe you can get a new lamp."
I like the finial and hate the lamp! ;-)
Great place overall - Loving the blue Malm fireplace and kudos to embracing the worn painted floor in the bedroom - very Wabi Sabi!
This is great! It's a really beautiful space, I'm sure it would look amazing no matter how it was decorated, but you have a responsible, grown up aesthetic that makes it really lovely. I'm especially impressed by your use of colors. Of course I love the gray paint, but also those pops of blue you have everywhere. I'm talking about the globe collection, the little landscape painting by the kitchen, the blanket on the chair, the top part of the dishwasher, the thermos in the kitchen above the stove, the fire place...It's subtle, but it looks amazing.
What is that you have hanging on the wall in the bathroom? I wish I could see it up close...
This is fab! love everything about it! Great style and use of color.
the wall paint color is crisp and clean and i love it with the floors. the fireplace is totally unexpected....love it!
are you using that large painting to block something unsightly? i'm a fan of natural light so it would seem to me odd to block the beautiful window.
Lovely and masculine! Is that a wall sticker covering the fridge door? seems like a good way to make a plain and boring fridge look fun!
how unexpected is that fireplace in the bedroom? and the archway is gorgeous. i'd live there.
From one globe-lover to another: nice work!
It's bright and clean and welcoming.
I like the lay out and the arch way really opens it up. I like the collected look in this case and the sofa is great.
I would hang that art above the mantel and take the mirror and hang it vertically on the wall to the left before the kitchen where you have a small piece hung.
love it! love the light fixture in the living room! the fridge is awesome! how was it done?
Thanks everyone for the Thumbs Up and all the comments! I thought I would answer some of the questions posted. (BTW - It was really tough only posting 5 photos.)
1. Benjamin Moore Eagle Rock in the livingroom, Benjamin Moore Rodeo in the bedroom.
2. I wallpapered the frig with Cole and Sons 'Birch' wallpaper. I had rented out this space for 4 years and my renter somehow killed the outside of the white frig... So, I used wallpaper and wallpaper paste to cover the stains. There's no sign of peeling and it's been 2 years!
3. I am most excited about all the livingroom light comments. I really loved Tracey Kessler 'Cage Light' for years but the price tag was just too much for me. I decided to make something using Ikea pendents, metal storm gutter guards, pipe clamps and antique bulbs. The bulbs were the only thing pricey and the light at night is really cool.
4. Bedroom fireplace was once orange and I painted it blue with industrial car paint. It has a small space heater in it and when turned on, the fan has small fake fire flames lighting up the fake logs.
5. Dishwasher - I painted the top blue and took off the black front of the dishwasher with the thought of putting in stainless steel. When I removed the black front I found a cream color that matches my cabinets.
6. Couch - this was once $50 maroon couch found at a Goodwill. I found this stain online called 'Leather Magic' to stain it with. You can stain any color. I think I stained it 6 years ago so it does NOT rub off. Amazing stuff.
7. I don't own a tv.
8. I ripped up the carpet to find the floors. Sanded the heck out of the livingroom and left the bedroom as it was found.
8. Your right, Hinckley should have been in some photos. He is a spoiled 10 month old Vizsla.
Thanks again everyone. Ben
Love the Chesterfield. Where did you get yours? I just ordered a similar one from London. With shipping the price was still great!
Hey Ben,
Thanks for coming to answer questions.
Hinckley should definitely have been in the photos. Don't you know showing pets automatically gets you like 100 bonus points on AT??
OMG...that blue fireplace is INSANE!
WHO did that large art piece? I really want it!
Love your bedroom -- looks so relaxing and cozy.
No effing WAY!!!! You painted that couch?? It is completely amazing and the first thing I noticed. I am blown away by your DIY skills. Congrats, this place is perfect.
@emmelemm: seriously. Are SC voters not notorious pet whores?
--Notorious Pet Whore
Cool place. The couch is a real star here, and it seems to grab all of my attention. Your other things just seem to dissolve away. I would try to link the the rest of your stuff with the couch by using the couch's color on your other pieces to connect them. Maybe try to scale-up a chair, or that console by draping it with fabric so the couch doesn't own the room so much. Just some thoughts. Thanks for sharing!
Love! Loving the bedroom and that blue fireplace and the floor in your bedroom etc...
Two thumbs up!
Amazing! My husband and I had an apartment in Portland with almost that EXACT layout-- do you live on Deering St. by any chance?
I love it. Great light, good color choices. I think you might better be able to enjoy that wonderful fireplace if you had a lower bed with no footboard though.
Bravo! This is amazing!
Notorious pet whores unite!!
Not just SC voters, but all AT commenters on posts in general. :)
This is a lovely space, and beautifully decorated. Especially love the bedroom.
I have been ogling that The Cole & Son Woods wallpaper for a long time, but never could commit to putting it up one of my walls. Now on the fridge... I am so stealing that idea !!!
You mentioned you ordered a Chesterfield from London and the price was still great.
Would you mind sharing a little more info on that?
Thanks for posting these! I'm in Portland too and it's nice to see that someone was able to make their small apartment into such an amazing place! I've got a lot of catching up to do, but this is a great inspiration!
I personally would have loved to see Hinckley, Vizsla's are a personal fave of mine.
Thanks again!
Yes, tell us who did the large canvas in the living room!
Can't believe this is only 535 sq ft. It feels so much larger.
Hi, it's Ben again.
1. Painting - Portland, Maine Artist Andrew Coffin 'Noise In The Garden'.
2. The painting is on the floor for two reasons:
a. I live on Congress Street and it blocks the voyeuristic views from the sidewalk.
b. It's too big to fit above the mantle. Like the bedroom fireplace, I bought it thinking that I would not live in this space forever.
4. Yes, the chart in the bathroom is a Digestive System Medical Chart from 1947. I found it at Oddities (think that's the name) in Austin, TX.
3. The globe on the coat rack is a plastic learning Fisher Price globe that lights up. I just disassembled it and then made it into a light.
Great job Ben.
Love the bedroom floor. Adds so much character to the room.
Hey Ben!
I agree, Hinkley should've been in a photo! I love the globe theme throughout.....very cool!!!! :) Good Luck!
I just adore it all. It is homely, comfortable, stylish. Nearly perfect.
love the floors, sofa!
Love the arched opening with the columns...great place!
You should totally make more of those pendant lights and sell them on Etsy so I can buy one. The digestive chart in the bathroom is hilarious. All in all I love your spot. Good luck!
Love the use of light and color! Go Ben.
Jose and Linda
Ohhh the floor project, such memories.
Love it Ben!
Awesome, what a fantastic space you have. I just love everything about it....and I wish I had your editing skills :-)
Terribly, terribly disappointed that I've yet again missed the 'thumbs up' window.
This is by far my favorite (so far). I adore. The chesterfield...the painting in the living room...the calming absence of a television...swoon.
I love it!!!
Ben- Your version of the fixture came out Fab! How flattering. I'm ready to order 5. How long did it take you to make?
Fireplace in bedroom is a nice touch.
Angela Adams rug in kitchen.uhuhuh. I love.
OMG! You painted the sofa? I would have bet my life that it was some very expensive leather sofa. You are my hero.
Anyone can buy some expensive. I admire people who make something exquisite out of something inexpensive.

Spacek's Contributions to Accounting Thought Revisited
AbstractWhile he was managing partner and chair of Arthur Andersen in the l950s and 1960s, Leonard Spacek was an outspoken critic of public accounting, complaining about its failure to establish a coherent set of objectives for financial statements, its illogical principles and methods, and its principle-setting process. He was the conscience of the public accounting community during this time period, a critic from within. As far as Spacek was concerned, 'fairness' was the central objective of financial reporting, though he never specifically defined the term. In light of the recent high-profile corporate and accounting scandals, including Enron and World.com, both of which were audited by Arthur Andersen, it is useful to analyse Spacek's ideas on the public role of accounting from his speeches and writings with emphasis on the theme of fairness. Given the firm's long-term commitment to quality audits, it was ironic that Andersen fell victim to these scandals.

Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > I'll always Love her
Chapter 5 - This Is The Best Day Ever or is it?4 Reviews
I drove to Maille's house with the butterflies building up in my stomach. I hope she's in, I hope she still lives here, I thought as I pulled up outside her house.
I walked up to the door and was about to knock when I heard shouting from inside.
"For fuck sake Maille get out of my clothes" I heard what seemed to be Ray, before there was lots of laughter. Dammit there all here.
"Yeah, well you shouldn't have pushed me into the pool should you?" She answered.
"Yeah, well you've got your own clothes upstairs aswell" He responded.
"So, then I wouldn't have pissed you off, would I?" She questioned before everyone burst out laughing again. A small tear came to my eye as I remembered the old days. I missed them so much.
I was about to turn around and leave when I saw Karina at the window and I jumped back quickly under the arch that was above the door.
"Who's Is that car?" She asked as everyone got up and went to the window. I heard a few 'wows' and I smiled to myself before Bob spoke up.
"I don't know but it's nice... Let's nick it" He suggested. I saw Sarah slap him on the back of the head and I started to laugh, thankfully no one heard. It took me a while to notice that Frank wasn't there, before they all sat down.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. It all went silent and I heard someone walking to the door before everyone started talking again.
The door opened and it was like being in a Matrix film in slow motion because that felt like the longest time ever in my life before someone appeared behind it.
"Hi" She said. It was Karina. I let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey, I'm looking for Maille and Ray" I said and I heard the living room go quite when I spoke. Karina turned round to shout Maille and as she turned around I just saw everyone's heads on top of each other bobbing round the door. Wow now I felt like I was in an episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S when Joey got his head stuck in the door at thanksgiving. Suddenly Courtney must have fallen because she was at the top and everyone came crashing down to the floor. I let out a small giggle as they all slowly stood up holding there heads and each glancing and Courtney one at a time.
"Sorry" She said still scrambling to get up before Gerard pulled her up. Still no one spoke as they just looked at me. Then all out of a sudden Maille ran up and hugged me so tight that I couldn't breath.
"Urm... Maille...tight...can't...breath" I said gasping for air as everyone laughed. Thank god for that, I hate tension. She let me go and apologized about a hundred times before I got whisked into the livingroom.
Frank's P.O.V
"HURRY UP HOLLIE WE'RE ALREADY TEN MINUTES LATE" I shouted up the stairs. God that girl takes forever getting ready. I paced up and down until my legs got sore and I decided to sit down. Just as my bum touched the seat Hollie appeared at the door.
"Well come on Frank, I'm waiting for you here" She said going out the front door. I sighed as I got up, that girl annoys the hell out of me, but I wouldn't have it any other way I suppose.
"So where's your car?" She asked as I locked the front door.
"I don't have one" I replied walking past her.
"You mean we have to walk?" She said running to catch up to me.
"Yep, it's only round the corner, remember" I answered looking at the disapproval one her face.
"Frank it's about 7 streets away" (or blocks, which ever one you say, but I'm English so I say streets)
"Exactly" I said turning round, all of a sudden she dived on my back and we nearly went flying to the ground.
"Well if it's not too far then you won't mind carrying me then will you". She laughed.
Hayleah's P.O.V
I stood outside Maille's house with my cigarette in my hand. I hate smoking as well but I just can't stop. Well that's it, I've had enough of having a sore throat and a scratchy cough and the fact that if I run somewhere I immediately start to have a choking fit. I'll make this my last one, I scrunched the rest of my cigarettes up that I had and threw them in a nearby bin. I looked around and I suddenly felt so happy. I felt like I was back in time again, we used to always go to Maille's house because it was the biggest and she had a pool. Also the fact that I could hear them all laughing again like we all used to. And at that point I felt that I never wanted to leave again, but I soon put that thought to the back of my head because that's just ridiculous, I mean I have to go back, don't I?
I put out my cigarette and went to go back into the house.
"HAYLEAH" Someone screamed and I nearly had a heart attack, I turned around and saw Hollie running up the road towards me. How the hell did she see me it's pitch black, I looked up to see the security light on above me, duhh!
"HOLLIE" I screamed back and started running up to her, we ran up to each other with such a thud that we both nearly fell to the floor. I've missed Hollie soooo much, she left a year before me and I've missed her every damn day since. Me and Frank used to always have to take her everywhere because their mum wouldn't trust her to be alone by herself incase she caused some sort of riot! She tended to do that, but that's why I loved her so much, she was like my little sister.
We must have hugged for about 5 minutes, both mumbling I missed you over and over again, until we finally let go. When I looked up I noticed Frank stood frozen to the spot behind her.
All the anger, hurt and sadness that's been burning away at me all year came flooding back to me and the worse part of it was the fact that I knew it was because I still had feelings for him.
"I'll leave you two alone" Hollie said as she started to walk away.
"No it's fine" I answered "I don't have anything to say to him"
I've moved on and I won't go back to the hurt I felt before.
I walked back towards the house linking arms with Hollie, I looked over my shoulder to see Frank looking to the floor and I could see the hurt in his eyes as I noticed him crying, it killed me to see him like that. FUCK IT, I'm definitely going to need a cigarette.
I told Hollie to go inside and leaned on the wall. I walked past Frank as he looked up and went to my car, I opened the glove compartment and got out a spare packet of cigs. I walked back past Frank and sat down on the garden bench. I searched my pockets for any sign of my lighter until I remembered it was in the packet that I threw away.
"Shit" I mumbled before I saw a small flame appear infront of me. I looked up to see Frank holding out his own lighter to me.
"Thanks" I said half heartedly and immediately looked away from him. I felt the bench sink slightly as he sat down beside me.
So i couldn't wait to put the next one up so here it is :D
Will they have a big fight, will they kiss and make up, or will they just become friends again... well your guess is as good as mine because i've just finished writing this one and not started on the next chapter yet lol

RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genworth Financial
(NYSE: GNW) announced today it will rename three of its life insurance
companies to incorporate the Genworth name and build on Genworth's brand
recognition efforts since the company went public in early 2004. On
November 1, Genworth renamed its mortgage insurance and servicing companies to
incorporate the Genworth name solidifying its branding strategy
internationally in this market.
"One of our top priorities is building a strong Genworth name and brand
among customers and distributors across all our businesses," said Michael D.
Fraizer, chairman and chief executive officer. "It is a logical brand
extension to bring our life operating companies under the Genworth identity --
as we will continue to do with other key operating companies over time."

January 1, 2006, to incorporate the Genworth identity, and the names that will

Annuity Assurance Company; and,
* Genworth Life Insurance Company of New York will replace GE Capital
Life Assurance Company of New York.
Genworth Financial will announce the dates of other underwriting company
name changes as they are determined.
Genworth Financial launched an extensive brand campaign at the time of the
initial public offering of its shares, including broad-based print and
television advertising programs, trade events and other promotional
"Our initial branding efforts have been very well received among our key
life and long term care distribution partners with a strong majority now aware
of the Genworth brand," said Fraizer. "With the renaming of our life
companies, we are now more strongly positioned going forward to build on our
brand messages not only among distributors but customers as well."
Genworth Financial ranks among the nation's largest insurance holding
companies, with leading market positions in protection, retirement income and
mortgage insurance.
Policyholders will be notified of these changes by letter between
December 15, 2005 and January 31, 2006. Terms and conditions of policies and
contracts are not affected by the name changes. All administrative and
billing procedures currently in place are also unaffected. Policyholders with

Greetings to the minions who read this blog on a regular basis. My name is Christopher. I am Matt's spouse. Matt is very, very, very sick (we think it's influenza, but it might just be mange). He is very sorry to be sick and misses you all very much. He is making great progress — really, there is nothing left to throw up at this point — and expects to return in a day or two.

A move to a new home can be disorienting and traumatic for a dog. The surroundings, smells, sounds and sights are all different. Everything is not in the places they are used to having them. Being uprooted may also make your dog anxious and clingy.
You may notice odd behavior in your dog immediately after you move to a new home. They may follow you everywhere like a shadow, or even act up in inappropriate ways that you may not realize are related to being in new surroundings. A move can make a dog feel insecure and unsure of what is happening. Thankfully, there are some ways you can help your dog adjust and settle in to his new home.
If possible, stay home with your dog for a few days so they begin to understand that the change is not temporary and you are not leaving them somewhere. Set up their bedding, water, CANIDAE food and toys right away so the dog can see familiar things around them even if the rest of the house is still in boxes or the mess of unpacking.
Take your dog for a walk on a leash to get them used to the sights, smells and sounds of the new neighborhood. This will help them become oriented to the new area. If you have a yard, spend some outside time there with your dog. This will help them realize that the yard is their space too. With you present while they explore, they will feel more secure.
