One of the most prestigious events in the winter action sports game, the Winter X Games (WXG), is about to descend on Buttermilk Mountain in Aspen, Colorado, for its 15th installment, and 17 Red Bull athletes will be on hand to battle for medals in snowboard, ski and snowmobile disciplines.
Red Bull at Winter X Games
- 17 Red Bull athletes attending, representing 8 different countries
- 11 of them are previous WXG medalists; 8 of them medaled in 2010
- 4 are defending gold medalists
- Shaun White will attempt the first WXG Snowboard SuperPipe four-peat
Four of Red Bull's finest are defending their gold medals from 2010: Shaun White (Snowboard SuperPipe), Bobby Brown (Ski Big Air and Slopestyle) and Kaya Turski (Ski Slopestyle) will be all looking for back-to-back wins.
Unfortunately, Eero Ettala (2010 Snowboard Slopestyle gold - pictured at top) and Levi LaVallee (2010 Snowmobile Knock Out gold and Best Trick bronze) will have to sit out due to injury; Ettala suffered a recent ACL tear in his knee, while LaVallee was injured during practice session for Red Bull: New Year. No Limits. in December.
Who to Watch for at Winter X Games
Shaun White (USA) - Snowboard Slopestyle & SuperPipe
What more needs to be said about Shaun White? Snowboarding's most dominant competitor comes into Aspen at the end of the month looking for a first-ever four-peat in SuperPipe. He also returns to WXGG Slopestyle competition this year (he took 2010 off to focus on his Olympic Halfpipe runs), where he already owns a four-peat ('03 through '06). Shaun (pictured above with Iouri Podladtchikov on the WXG 2010 SuperPipe podium) has 15 total WXG medals, including 5 golds each in SuperPipe and Slopestyle.
Bobby Brown (USA) - Ski Big Air & Slopestyle
Brown let the freestyle skiing world know what was up in 2010, placing consistently high in Slopestyle events throughout the season. He'll no doubt be looking forward to returning to Aspen this year, since he left WXGG 2010 with not one, but two gold medals, topping out in both Slopestyle and Big Air.
Simon Dumont (USA) - Ski SuperPipe
Known for blasting out of the SuperPipe to ridiculous heights, few can forget Dumont's epic WXG battles with Red Bull teammate Tanner Hall over the years. Dumont owns 7 WXG medals, including two golds in SuperPipe, but finished 4th in 2010, his first time off the WXG podium since 2003. Simon opened his season with a win in Breckenridge in December, and hasn't been shy about saying that he plans to dominate this season, so he'll no doubt put on an amazing show in Aspen.
Daron Rahlves (USA) - Skier X
Rahlves (pictured below) is well-known in speed skiing circles as one of the fastest Americans on snow, racking up countless alpine podiums while a member of the U.S. Ski Team. Daron earned gold in Skier X at WXG 2008, but unfortunately went down at WXG 2010, dislocating his hip. Hot off his win at the Red Bull Hüttenrallye in Austria, he'll be looking for redemption in 2011.
Greg Bretz (USA) - Snowboard SuperPipe
One of the leaders of the crop of talented young shredders in the pipe, Greg earned a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team in 2010 shortly before just missing a spot on the 2010 WXG SuperPipe podium, finishing 4th. Bretz has yet to haul away some WXG hardware, so he'll be working hard for a medal in Aspen.
Sebastien Toutant (Canada) - Snowboard Big Air & Slopestyle
At just 18 years old, Seb is poised for a long and illustrious career in snowboarding, based on the impact he's already had in competition. Coming off of a big win in Beijing at the Oakley Shaun White Air & Style event, Toutant will make his first WXG appearance this year, and it will no doubt be one to remember.
Iouri Podladtchikov (Switzerland) - Snowboard SuperPipe
A major threat in the SuperPipe, Iouri earned silver behind Shaun White at WXG 2010, and aims to be even more of a challenge to White in 2011.
Grete Eliassen (Norway) - Ski Slopestyle
Eliassen (pictured above, on the right, with Kaya Turski at WXG 2010) has earned three WXG SuperPipe medals (two of them gold), but in recent years she's moved more into the Slopestyle realm, pocketing a silver in the event at WXG 2009 and bronze in '10.
Mark McMorris (Canada) – Snowboard Big Air & Slopestyle
Mark weighs in as one of the youngest competitors at Winter X Games. Barely 17 years old Mark is coming in hot to Aspen with recent podiums at the first two stops of Dew Tour, and the 6-Star O'Neil Evolution. McMorris will also be making his first WXG appearance this year, and is looking to leave his mark.
Kaya Turski (Canada) - Ski Slopestyle
Turski has made two trips to WXG, leaving with medals both times – including Slopestyle gold in 2010. A dominant Slopestyle competitor, Kaya will no doubt mount a fierce defense of her title in 2011.
Russ Henshaw (Australia) - Ski Big Air & Slopestyle
Down-under freeski pro Russ Henshaw (pictured above) had five years of alpine experience under his belt before he switched to freestyle at age 12, and he's been cranking up his skills consistently ever since. He has yet to pocket any WXG medals, but with two top-five finishes at WXG 2010, this could be his year.
Elias Ambühl (Switzerland) - Ski Big Air & Slopestyle
One of Red Bull's newest athletes, Swiss phenom Elias Ambühl is tearing up freeskiing competition at the moment. He earned bronze in Big Air at his very first WXG appearance last season, likely just a taste of things to come.
PK Hunder (Norway) - Ski Big Air
Fully recovered from a broken neck near the end of the 2009 season, Hunder recently placed second in Big Air at the Fridge Festival in Budapest, and he'll be riding that momentum into WXG.
Marko Grilc (Slovenia) - Snowboard Slopestyle
Much like Henshaw, Grilc (pictured below) found snowboarding at 7 years old and has built a solid reputation with contest wins and video parts since then. He returned to the WXG stage after an eight-year hiatus in 2010, and will compete in WXG Slopestyle for the first time in 2011.
Bene Mayr (Germany) - Ski Big Air
Another racer-turned-freeskier, Mayr is down with any discipline on skis, but has the most fun launching off kickers. He'll be headed to Aspen and WXG for the first time in 2011.
Daniel Bodin (Sweden) - Snowmobile Speed & Style, Freestyle and Best Trick
Bodin earned a silver medal in Snowmobile Best Trick at WXG 2010 and he has four consecutive fourth-place finishes in the Freestyle event, so he's got about as much motivation to break onto the podium as you could possibly muster. He'll also be making his first Speed & Style appearance at WXG 2011.

Product 614/1128
Cole Andrews, biologist by trade and werewolf by blood, is tired of being alone. He and his two brothers live in the large Victorian home that had belonged to their parents. He's always wanted to find his mate and start a family. Now that he's in his thirties, he's starting to give up hope. He's already seen all of the women available in his small town of Ashton Grove and so far none of them are "the one."
Marin Thomas is fleeing for her life. After being abducted and held hostage, she is determined to escape the maniac once and for all. Stealing his car, she travels as far and as fast as she can – until a car accident lands her in some woods near Ashton Grove, Georgia. Fighting for her very life, she finds herself begging a wolf for help.
Is Marin the mate that Cole has been waiting for? Or will she end up with one of his brothers? One sniff tells him that she belongs to his pack. The only question that remains is who will win her heart?
It was a dark, cold, rainy night. The black and silver wolf ran through the woods, oblivious to the cold wind or the rain pelting his fur. The moon was full in the midnight sky, but there were just enough clouds to block out the stars. The wolf stopped and listened, hearing a faint noise. Cautiously, he approached.
Not far from the road, a car was over-turned. A woman was lying on the ground calling for help in a voice so soft human ears could not have heard it. Upon closer inspection, the wolf saw a gash on her head. The coppery smell of her blood was almost too much to bear. The scent was so strong that he knew there were other lacerations, ones he couldn't see.
Lifting her head, Marin saw the wolf. She knew that she should be afraid, but she was cold and in pain. The wolf might be her only chance of getting help. It wouldn't be long before Stefan returned to make sure she was dead or to drag her back to her prison. If she didn't get away, there was no telling what he would do to her. The last time she had escaped, he had chained her to a wall for a few days and done unspeakable things to her. He hadn't broken her spirit, but she knew her body couldn't take much more.
Looking into the wolf's eyes, Marin pleaded for help. "Please help me." Before she could feel ridiculous for asking a wolf for help, the darkness overtook her. As her head slumped back to the ground, the wolf turned and headed back into the woods. Running as fast he could, he raced around trees, over fallen limbs, and headed for the clearing. As he broke through the last of the trees, he could see the old Victorian house standing on the hill. He bounded up the hill and ran up the back steps, pushing open the door with his paw he rushed into the house.
"Cole? What's wrong?" Gabriel asked as he stepped out of the living room, a concerned look on his face.
For his brother to come hurrying through the house in his wolf form meant that something was terribly wrong. The brothers typically kept clothes stashed nearby and changed before coming back to the house. Their nearest neighbor was a block away so they never had to worry about people crying wolf, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Their home was the only one on this side of the street and their auto repair shop was the only thing across from the house, which made their home the ideal place for three werewolves to live. The only thing better would have been a house in the country, but this was their family home and selling it was unthinkable.
The wolf turned in a circle and backed towards the door. Gabriel grabbed his leather jacket and followed. His brother led him through the woods for what seemed like an eternity before they came to the crash site. Gabriel noticed the unconscious woman on the ground and knelt beside her. He checked her pulse, which was weak but steady.
"She's still alive. Why don't you go put some clothes on and bring your truck? We can lay her in the backseat and take her to the hospital," Gabriel said, looking at his furry brother.
The wolf nodded and once more bounded off through the woods, arriving at the house in record time. Pushing open the door, he ran up the stairs to the third floor. Entering the first bedroom he came to, he shifted back into human form. In his wolf form, Cole was larger than your typical wolf. His eyes remained the same as they were in his human form, which were steel gray. As a human, he was six-foot one, well muscled with six-pack abs, and relatively short black hair that barely curled over the collar of his shirt.
Cole threw on a t-shirt and jeans. He put on his boots, grabbed his wallet and his keys and headed back down the stairs. Jumping in his black Ford truck, he drove to the highway and headed in the direction of the crash site. It didn't take him long to locate the place where the woman's car had gone through the railing and down the embankment. There were two sets of skid marks side by side, one belonged to her car and stopped at the railing, but the second set continued down the highway. Cole parked on the side of the road and put on his hazard lights. Climbing out of the truck, he jogged down the hill toward his brother and the unconscious woman.
"Is she doing okay?" Cole asked, as he approached them.
"She woke up for a minute while you were gone, just long enough to tell me she doesn't want to go to the hospital. I have a feeling she's running from something, or someone," Gabriel responded with a worried look on his face.
Cole nodded as if he had expected as much. "I saw some skid marks on the road. I don't think she ran off the highway by herself."
Cole looked down at the woman lying on the ground. What kind of trouble could she be in? Her face was covered in blood from the gash on her forehead, but he had a feeling she was beautiful when she was cleaned up. She had long dark hair and a clear pale complexion. She couldn't be more than five-foot two, if even that, and looked like she was in her late teens or early twenties.
Something stirred inside of him as he looked at the helpless woman, making him feel fiercely protective of her. Cole was a little shocked at his response to her. He wasn't only attracted to her in a human way, but his inner wolf recognized her. The primitive side of him wanted to lay claim to her before either of his brothers could. He had always thought that only the alpha could detect their mates, but apparently he was able to sense his own when she was present. This was a rather startling realization and one he didn't want to dwell on. Right now his top priority was making sure the woman was taken to safety and cared for.
Gabriel carefully picked her up. "Let's get her in the truck. We can take her to the house and figure out what to do from there."
Cole ran up the embankment ahead of Gabriel and opened the rear passenger door. Gabriel gently laid the woman on the backseat, drew a blanket over her, and closed the door. He climbed into the front passenger seat as Cole slid into the driver's seat. The drive back to the house was silent as both brothers were deep in thought over their mysterious new house guest.
As they pulled around to the back of the house, Gabriel glanced at the woman in the backseat. She was still unconscious. It made him worry about her head wound, but at the same time it was probably a blessing. She had to be in a great deal of pain. Her car had been pretty battered from rolling down the embankment and it looked as if she had fallen out of it when she opened the door. For that matter, he was amazed she had been able to open it at all.
Cole and Gabriel got out and opened the rear passenger door. Gabriel once again gently lifted her into his arms. She didn't weigh much. Then again, he was a werewolf; she could have weighed two hundred pounds and it would have been the same as lifting fifty pounds.
The two brothers got the woman into the house and made their way up to the second floor. They very seldom had company, but they always kept the first bedroom on this floor ready for guests. The home had once belonged to their parents, but had belonged to the brothers for several years now. The three of them had also inherited the auto shop across the street, which provided a decent income. Their parents had made sure they would be taken care of should anything ever happen to them. Sometimes it didn't seem like it had been very long since they had passed away.
Gabriel was the oldest at thirty two years old, and the tallest at six-foot two inches tall. He was slightly broader than Cole and just as muscled. His eyes were a vibrant blue and his hair, which fell in waves to his shoulders, was an inky black. Cole and Michael were twins and fairly close to being identical. They were thirty years old and six-foot one. Michael was a little more muscular than Cole and had blue eyes like Gabriel. All three brothers still lived in the Victorian and none of them were married. They were also werewolves, the last of their family line. Once they found their mates and started a family, the line would continue… providing there was at least one boy born. The women in the family could pass the gene to their children, but could not change into a wolf themselves.
Gabriel laid the woman on the bed. He stepped into the adjoining bathroom to get a warm wet rag and hand towel before sending Cole to the kitchen for a bowl of warm water. Judging from the blood coming from her head and soaking her shirt, they were going to need quite a bit of water to clean the blood and grime from her. It would be a shame for her to survive the crash only to die from an infection.
When Cole returned, he left the bowl with Gabriel and went upstairs to get one of his black cotton t-shirts and a pair of boxer shorts. The young woman was going to need something to sleep in since her clothes were torn and bloody. If he were completely honest with himself, he'd admit that he just didn't want to see her wearing something of Gabriel's or Michael's. When he had seen Gabriel pick her up to carry her to the truck, he had fought the urge to growl at his brother. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, he jogged back down the stairs and went back into the guest room.

Current Time 10:01:48am
Wage to increase to $7.95 on Jan. 1, $3.98 for tipped employees
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio's minimum wage is going up 10 cents to $7.95 starting on Jan. 1.
The Ohio Department of Commerce on Thursday also said the new minimum for tipped employees will be $3.98 - a 5-cent per hour increase.
The state minimum wage is adjusted annually because of a 2006 voter-approved amendment to the Ohio Constitution. Increases are linked to inflation. The minimum wage jumped 15 cents at the beginning of 2013.
The Consumer Price Index for urban wage earners and clerical workers rose 1.5 percent during the period used to calculate wage increases.
The 2006 changes require wages for non-tipped employees be rounded to the nearest five cents.
The state wage for employees at small companies and 14- and 15-year-olds is tied to the federal minimum wage, which is $7.25.

The Sagamore Golf Course: Splendid mountainside links designed by Donald Ross.
Honored by Golf Magazine as one of its Silver Medal Resorts, this beautiful hillside course overlooks Lake George and was designed and built under Donald Ross's personal supervision in 1928. As part of a $75 million restoration in 1985, the legendary course was fully restored according to Ross's original blueprints.
In classic Ross fashion, The Sagamore's golf course uses the natural environment to give each hole its challenge and beauty. The holes are routed naturally through an upland meadow and the Adirondack woods, where white birches enliven the evergreen forest. To add an accent to the rolling mountainside terrain, Ross planted heather from his own native Scotland within the meadow. Lush fairways are narrow and lined with hardwoods, while deep bunkers surround undulating greens. From the elevated first tee, you have a breathtaking view of Lake George and the Adirondack peaks.
Golf Digest rated this course as the "5th Best Public Course in New York State." In addition, Corporate and Incentive Travel gave it a "Greens of Distinction" award and Condé Nast named it a top U.S. resort course.

SiTime, the fastest growing semiconductor company, is revolutionizing the $5 billion timing industry with silicon MEMS-based oscillators and clock generators. Our timing solutions are rapidly replacing legacy quartz crystal products by offering higher performance and reliability at a lower cost. With 80% market share and over 175 million devices shipped, SiTime is driving the electronics industry's transition to 100% silicon-based timing.
Broad-based Adoption
Timing products provide the heartbeat of all electronics. SiTime products are used in all major market segments by more than 1000 customers in over 100 applications. Our highest volume designs are in the networking, consumer, computing and storage segments. In 2011, we started to offer products for telecom, wireless and industrial applications.
Making it Better – Higher Performance, Resilience, and Lower Cost
SiTime has transformed the timing market. For the past several decades, quartz crystal based oscillators, clock generators and resonators were the primary reference timing components in electronics. As there were no alternatives, OEMs and ODMs accepted the inherent limitations of quartz timing devices. Now, with robust MEMS resonators and high performance analog circuits, SiTime has developed breakthrough solutions that overcome the limitations of quartz devices.
Making it Easier – Programmable, Drop-in Replacements
We make it easy for OEMs and ODMs to use SiTime. Our oscillators are 100% drop-in replacements for quartz oscillators without any design changes. Plus, our programmable architecture enables the most flexible products with more features and ultra fast lead-times. SiTime solutions are an easy choice – once our customers use SiTime products, they rarely go back to quartz.
Making it Smaller – Up to 75%
For new designs or re-design, customers can use our oscillators that come in the industry's smallest packages – as small as 1.5 x 0.8 mm. Our clock generators offer a 66% board space reduction by combining the functionality of three different oscillators in the same package. Semiconductor companies are integrating our resonator products with their SOCs/ASICs to completely eliminate external clocks and simplify system design.

Encounter a new parent and odds are they'll have a child in one hand and a digital camera in the other. Parents are constantly photographing their kids (and often little else), so why is it so hard to get a good shot of the young ones? Here's how to get great photos of children.
Digital photography makes it easy to always be photographing your children, no matter how mundane the occasion may seem. And you know what? Sometimes the best pictures happen when you aren't expecting them. A photo of a sleeping infant can carry immense power. A candid shot of a child, fresh out of a bath and wrapped in a towel, can also be a surprising and unique keepsake. The point is: Shoot as often as you can, not just when you're trying to pose your child and get them to smile, but when they aren't even aware they're being photographed.
A surefire way to bug your kids is to use the flash a lot. Most people—but especially kids—get annoyed when a flash keeps firing off in their face. It can actually feel blinding. What's more, when not used carefully, a flash can wash out natural colors and create odd shadows. Open the window shades and let in lots of natural light—cameras like the Samsung WB150F are sensitive enough to capture great shots indoors as long as the sun is out, sans flash. Shooting outside, of course, eliminates many lighting problems, but there are a few things to keep in mind.
If you can't shoot in the shadows, make sure the sun is to your back and side. You don't want the sun directly behind your child's head (which will result in deep shadows on their face), but you don't want them squinting into the direct sunlight, either.
If you've ever seen a professional portrait photographer working with kids, you know that distraction is a key. Many use an assistant to operate a puppet or make faces at younger children in an attempt to get them to smile. You can use the same tactics by putting on a funny hat for picture time or by having another family member play peek-a-boo over your shoulder. The Children mode on the Samsung DV300F camera can lend a hand here, too: Activate this system and the camera will display a kid-friendly animation on the front LCD and play background music for them, too. The more you can do to get a child to laugh or crack a smile while looking toward the camera, the better.
Alternately you can simply snap candid photos without letting your subjects know you're taking pictures. Kids don't have to be posing or even sitting still to get great shots: Simply set your WB150F for Action mode and pics will come out clear no matter how fast the kids are off and running.
Photos of people, whether they're adults or children, shot from above with the subject looking up, tend to be unflattering. You will get more interesting and engaging shots if you get down to their level, physically that is. Try to shoot by putting the camera lens on the same horizontal plane as your kid's eyes. This may mean crawling around in the grass, so wear your weekend jeans.
Photos sitting on your camera don't do any good. Once you've bagged that perfect pic, it's time to share it with the world. The Samsung WB150F and other Wi-Fi enabled cameras let you share shots immediately and directly from your camera using your wireless network. Save pictures to your PC or to a web-based Microsoft Skydrive account, or beam them directly to social networks like Facebook for instant sharing. Should you want to have an impromptu slide show, you can send photos to TVs and mobile phones through Samsung's TV Link and Smartphone Link systems.

There are lots of new changes at your local Susanville Grocery Outlet. In addition to their new sign, they've recently expanded to include a fresh meat display section, plus their fine wines, organic groceries and produce sections have more to choose from.

Of course, since we publish the local Lassen Plumas Connection, and have for 15 years, I was obviously interested in his information.

Come to find out, he had a copy of our telephone directory in hand and was offering to run the exact same ad from our book in his book for half their regular price. My only advice, be sure you know what you are buying, and if you buy into their book, question the rate you are paying.

First-time homebuyers may still be eligible for a tax credit of up to $8,000, while existing homeowners may receive a credit of up to $6,500. The bill also increases the qualifying income limits, and taxpayers can claim the credit on purchases completed in 2010 on their 2009 income tax returns. Ask your Realtor about all the details.

Rescue Me
When I was thinking about ways you could rescue your system with Linux, the thought occurred to me: Why not rescue your life? Because that's what Linux can do for you.
I like to think that I am a good cook, but not a good chef.
To me, the difference between a cook and a chef is that a cook is someone who can use basic cooking skills and put together some decent and simple food, usually by following a recipe. A chef is someone who creates wonderful and new food by understanding how food works together.
Give a cook some eggs, peppers, and cheese, and they'll probably whip up a decent western omelet. Chefs could take the same ingredients and put together something like a pepper-infused cheese soufflé, just off the top of their heads.
Using Linux is a lot like being a cook in a world where it's easy to open a box, boil some dry goods, and call it macaroni and cheese – when you could just as easily and with a little more time make homemade mac and cheese that would be infinitely better tasting and even better for you.
Windows and Macs, it could be argued, are like those boxes of preprocessed food. You bring them home from the store, follow the simple instructions, and you've got yourself a meal. Or a computer, as the case may be. You can even call it home-cooked, but really, that's not what you've done at all. You've heated and rehydrated.
Bringing a computer home from the store is a lot like that experience. You open the box, plug it in, run some rudimentary configuration routines, and you've set up a computer; however, this is really treating computer-as-a-appliance, and it's not necessarily the best way to approach this powerful device you've set up in your home or office.
Think for a moment what you are asking this device to do: organize your life, store your memories, create content for work, and connect with friends and family across the planet. That's a lot of important stuff … is it really something you want to entrust to a device you know little about?
That's what using Linux gets you, ultimately. It gives you a little more knowledge about how your computer is put together, which you in turn can use to make your system safer, more powerful, and even easier to use.
The benefits of using Linux are immediately available when you first start using it. Right away, your system is more stable and less prone to crashing, and it's virtually free from attack by viruses and malware, which are very much geared to go after those Windows and Mac machines.
However, with a little tech knowledge, you can update your system and take other steps to protect your computer and reclaim some of your life by not having to worry about things going wrong.
Make a Rescue CD
Making a rescue CD is pretty simple; you can pretty much use any Linux Live CD out there. Some are better than others, of course, and for my money you can't do better than Knoppix, a security-oriented distribution that's designed to bail staggering systems out and get them back on their feet – or at least get your important data recovered so you can use it on a working machine.
Rescue CDs are great for fixing broken boot systems, recovering data, or reconfiguring your hard drive to fit your needs. They are not to be used lightly, of course. Like learning how to use an oven, you will need to be careful, but these software tools are an awesome thing to have in your arsenal.
Encrypt Your Hard Drive
Encrypting your files, or at the very least, your /home directory, is a very worthwhile step because if your computer falls into the wrong hands, encryption will prevent anyone from opening your files and seeing what's inside.
Don't think that just because you have a password on your user account, you'll be safe from intrusion. Anyone with a Live CD or Linux thumb drive can easily launch Linux on your computer and get right to your files the same way you will be able to if you use these tools to recover your own data.
Encryption will prevent such access, displaying only random garbage to any intruders on your system. Yes, you will need a new password to manage, but if that's the worst price to pay, it's well worth it.
Shut Down Services
When Linux is first installed, it has various channels of communication to the outside world open in case you need to use them.
One such service is Samba, which enables your Linux computer to talk to Windows machines on your network. If that's something you can use, great, but if you don't have Windows machines on your network, then why leave that one door open for a potential hacker to get into? Moreover, it's just one more thing running on your computer.
Get some safety and some speed back by closing down services like Samba if you don't need them. Another good service to consider is Bluetooth, for which your computer might not even have the installed hardware. Don't go crazy with this, and do the legwork before shutting things down. Some software depends on those services and will break if they aren't available. Consult various Linux documentation sources to find out which services are the best to consider shutting down.
A Decent Meal
None of these options require a master's expertise. You just need to know how to follow directions available for your Linux distribution. In the days of yore, you almost had to be a chef-level expert to be a Linux user. Those days are gone.
Making your own food doesn't have to be complicated; you don't have to raise the chickens, make the cheese, and grow the peppers. Just buy what you need and put it together yourself.
That's what you can do with Linux: Get what you need and spend a little time learning how it works. The data in your computers could be about your life. Isn't it important to spend the little extra time and save yourself from pretty but ultimately empty operating systems?

Azure keeps deleting my content and reconfigures entire system back to default settings
I had the 90 day free trial wich only lasted for ten days now I'm paying I have a web site on a hosted service that only I am using I installed Live Smooth stereaming on IIS so I could try it out it seemed to work fine the website uses images like every web site dose I keep the images in a folder with the path in a database pretty basic set up every couple of days all but one Image is deleted when I connect to the Virturl Network and check the recycle bin it's empty
when I open IIS manager it's reset back to the default settings I thought I was doing something to cause this because I have been trying Azure out and playing around with deploying a web site on the hosted service
Now because of New Years I haven't touched anything I haven't logged into my account or even brought up my web page for 2 days it was working 2 days ago with all of the images there this morning I went on my web site and all the images showed a blank so I logged on to the virtural network all but one Image has been deleted and IIS is set back to to the default and it's back to the starting line because of the naming convention I use for Images I have to delete the data base entries and upload new images and reinstall Live Smooth streaming reconfigure everything is this normal
Azuer at this point for me seems to be more like a rent a toy not a commericial tool it's not staking up against a dedicated server at a hosting company very well is it me or is this how azure works
learning development
I am not sure what you are doing, but I am guessing you login with Remote Desktop and configure using IIS Manager.
If that is true, I think you need to read-up on the platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offerings, and how this differs from Infrastructure As a Service (IaaS).
What you describe is how an IaaS platform behaves, but PaaS behaves different.
The typical way to install "something" in the PaaS platform is (generally) to deploy a package from Visual Studio containg your web-application and optionally startup-scripts that modifies IIS (or other Windows settings)
I would recomend that you watch these videos:
Actually, all videos from BUILD regarding Azure is interresting:
If you REALLY want to configure IIS manually before deploying your app, you can do that using a VM role which you configure locally and then upload to Windows Azure, but I wouldn't really recomend it.
Regards, and good luck.

When you change the state of an instance you should do so in a manner that allows it to be redone automatically in case the instance is reimaged or moved. In other words, the change should be automated not manual.
You should consider using startup tasks for such changes. This post by Steve Marx shows how to use Web Platform Installer, for example, in a startup task.

Thanks for getting back to me I might not have been clear in my post I never changed the state of anything I never touched it for two days and even if I did change something why would it delte only certian files when I watched this video
he had the same issue with the Image folder on the video they thought someone had hacked into the demo I'm having it every couple days
the configuration I'm useing is the default configuaration for deploying a website I didn't change anything
the only thing I changed throughout the whole process is I installed LiveSmoothStreaming in IIS with the Web Platform Installer
learning development -
Can you provide more information? For example, where are the images? Do you have a web role project? Do you put the images in the web role project, and set the Build Action to Content? And how do you install IIS Smooth Streaming? Do you use remote desktop to login to the cloud machine and install it (which will be lost whenever the instance is recycled), or do you use a startup task to install it (we have to take this approach)?You can refer to http://blog.smarx.com/posts/smooth-streaming-with-windows-azure-blobs-and-cdn for a sample on how to use smooth streaming in Windows Azure.
Please mark the replies as answers if they help or unmark if not. If you have any feedback about my replies, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com Microsoft One Code Framework -
When i started development in Azure for the first time i faced the same kind of issues and then i learnt that everything in my application should be automated so that if there are any custom configuration required for IIS or some other settings in Windows Server environment it should happen automatically with the help of startup scripts.
As you mentioned you haven't touched anything because of New Years, Microsoft released azure guest OS update on 28th of December and if you didn't mention any specific version of OS in your Azure role configuration then your instances might get updated with the latest release which may caused resetting everything at the server to the original state.

learning development- 編集済み rickjac 2012年1月5日 3:41
Yes if you don't want your Azure instances OS to get updated automatically then you should provide a guest OS version in your Role config file. Although if you define specific guest OS version in you config file then you should be aware of the recent updates and releases because sometime it contains fixes to some potential issues which can be critical to your working environment. For information related to Windows Azure guest OS you can follow the link:

Just in case the previous answers weren't clear:
-- Even if you don't use your app, it can be recycled (such as to apply Windows updates)
-- Every time it recycles, your app is reinstalled on a new Virtual Machine, so you lose any customizations you made to the machine (such as installing Live Smooth Streaming via Remote Desktop), along with any files you may have uploaded since the app started
-- The solution for IIS is either to use a cmd script to automate the configuration when the app is reinstalled or do the configuration in code
-- Use blob storage or SQL Azure for any files you want to upload and retain (use the local disk as a cache only). That may require some code to sync with uploaded files (though you can construct URLs to allow clients to directly access files once they are in blob storage).Check out my book: Ultra-fast ASP.NET: Building Ultra-Fast and Ultra-Scalable Websites using ASP.NET and SQL Server

The comments are an interesting part. Of course you have the complaints that good users/links 'deserve' pagerank.
When Google first demanded that ads have 'nofollow' placed on them & the whole thing got some attention, I was thinking about this and it all seemed unsustainable. The user generated content side of things anyway. The ads thing is of much less consequence. I thought it was a very unimpressive baby-bathwater ratio.
The problem as I see it is this: Most of the 'it isn't a problem' arguments are somewhere around 'if you think it deserves PR, don't nofollow.' The problem is of course the webmaster deciding.
For a site like twitter, spam is more of a problem then not passing their users PR. They have no incentive to moderate their use of nofollow. As is the case in most popular user generated sites. After all, nofollow links don't hurt the source site. Why not use them. Then with CMSs used by companies etc. Why not nofollow all external links? Some 'SEO's might recommend it. No cost.
Problem is that user generated content sites are becoming a big chunk of the internet. Possibly the part with the most important 'recommendations.' How can an SE analyse how all the pages on the internet relate to each other when they cut out all these extremely central sites.
Anyway, I thought this is an example of how SEs are becoming blind to the new areas of the web. Or (maybe more likely?) how they can't actually do what they say they would and pretend a nofollowed link didn't exist.
That brings me to a second point (one for Jill I guess. It's a little awkward bringing up articles/news/external sources in a forum of this kind. Time for HR 2.0 ? Maybe you can have a look at something like this.
* I know some social news sites actually remove the nofollow for submissions that have been positively moderated enough. It surprises me that they bother.
edit: Even worse spelling then normal

Ubuntu Developers Summit 2010 in Brussels in May
The next Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) takes place May 10-14 in Brussels, according to Jono Bacon, Ubuntu community manager.
The next Ubuntu Developer Summit should give developers the schedule for the next release, which is version 10.10. The exact venue, as Jono Bacon announced, is at the Dolce La Hulpe Hotel and Resort in Brussels, May 10-14. In addition to developers sponsored by Canonical, numerous Ubuntu supporters who work on the free platform in their free time will attend.
Canonical's sponsorship provisions cover costs for flights and accommodations, although only in limited number. Applications are open until March 26 and allow the chance to present your own contributions to Ubuntu development.
Bacon says that it is important to note that UDS is not a conference. Bacon says the event is a participatory discussion-based summit with a goal of determining the aspects of the next Ubuntu release. He says attendees should be prepared to participate in the sessions actively.

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
Thank you for this opportunity to provide comment on ways the FCS can better serve small and midsized, local and regional food producers.
It is important that we take responsibility for feeding ourselves, good nutritious food, and your proposed loan actions will go a long way to rebuilding a healthy, local, sustainable food system.
I would also ask that in defining what needs to be included in FCS marketing plans that you include:
1. A requirement that each FCS institution create a baseline analysis of producers who meet the farm bill definition of local and regional food producers by number of borrowers, by loan volume, and other key characteristics.
2. An investment goal for local and regional food producers of not less than 10% of each institution's capital within 5 years.
3. A plan for conducting outreach to local and regional food producers.
4. A requirement that such an outreach plan and periodic progress reports be made public.
5. A commitment to adding local and regional food producers to the FCS board.
6. A plan for providing staff development training to FCS personnel across the full spectrum of lending, accounting, farm transfer and business planning services appropriate for serving local and regional food producers.
7. A plan for developing lending and business support products with terms and benefits appropriate for local and regional food producers.
8. An inventory of strengths and weaknesses of financing for local and regional food infrastructure (aggregation, processing, distributing, etc.) and an FCA plan for how to use FCS local and regional food producer financing to leverage other public and private capital necessary to address the larger weaknesses in the rest of the local and regional food supply chain.
Most sincerely,
Joel Smith

The Impact of State Sovereignty on Global Trade and International Taxation constitutes a valuable addition to the literature concerning the interface of trade and tax and international law, and the harmonisation of taxation within the EC.

text: Home Culture Recy Taylor: A Symbol of Jim Crow's Forgotten Horror After her brutal gang rape, Recy Taylor became a global symbol of American injustice and helped inspire the civil rights movement. So why has nobody heard of her today? By: Cynthia Gordy Posted: Feb. 9 2011 3:30 PM 0 Phelan M. Ebenhack/AP Sept. 3, 1944: It's a damp evening in the Alabama black belt, nearly midnight, but services at Rock Hill Holiness Church in the small town of Abbeville have just let out. Recy Taylor, a 24-year-old sharecropper, sets out along the town's fertile peanut plantations, accompanied for the walk home by two other worshippers from the African-American congregation. Moments later, a green Chevrolet rolls by -- and their routine journey takes a horrifying turn. Wielding knives and guns, seven white men get out of the car, according to Taylor and witnesses from a state investigation of the case. One shoves Taylor in the backseat; the rest squeeze in after her and ride off. Her panicked friends run to tell the sheriff. After parking in a deserted grove of pecan trees, the men order the young wife and mother out at gunpoint, shouting at her to undress. Six of them rape Taylor that night. Once finished, they drive her back to the road, ordering her out again before roaring off into the darkness. Days after the brutal attack, Taylor's story traveled through word of mouth, catching the attention of a Montgomery NAACP activist named Rosa Parks. A seasoned anti-rape crusader, who focused on the sexual assaults of black women that were commonplace in the segregated South, Parks would eventually help bring the case international notice. Despite her efforts, however, in Jim Crow-era Alabama, Taylor's assailants were never punished. It's curious, to say the least, that Taylor's name is not mentioned in history books. While most analyses of circumstances that inspired the civil rights movement focus on black men -- being lynched or railroaded into jail, or facing down segregationists -- the stories of countless black women like Recy Taylor, who were raped by white men during the same era, have gone understated, if not overlooked entirely. Nearly 70 years later, having such a brutal attack swept under the rug is still a source of pain for a surviving victim. "Wasn't nothing done about it," Taylor, now 91, told The Root in a phone interview from her Florida home. "The sheriff never even said he was sorry it happened. I think more people should know about it … but ain't nobody [in Abbeville] saying nothing." Organizing a National Movement At the time, others -- more than she ever knew -- did speak out in defense of Taylor. Her brother Robert Corbitt, now 74, was just 8 years old when his eldest sister was kidnapped, but he remembers that night well, and all that followed. He recalls crying on the porch of their childhood home as their father, Benny Corbitt, went out looking for her. "He came back by the house about three times, and each time, his shirt was wringing with sweat," he told The Root. "Nobody slept that night." Page 1 of 4 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Germano's Ristorante
Online Reservations
The restaurant was as good as everyone told me...great food, amazing raspberry pie, and our server was very efficient and attentive, but not too much so.
Small and cozy atmosphere, intimate, special prix fixe meal was great value! Prices are a little high for main dishes. Server was a little rushed.
Service and food were outstanding...the best Italian we have found in greater Cincy, bar none.
I love this restaurant. It's a regular haunt for us. My husband and I used to go there every Tuesday for lunch until our schedules changed. I have never had a bad meal there. They have at least 4 specials every day. It's not the usual Italian restaurant. The food is innovative with many fresh fish and yummy pasta dishes with a variety of unusual ingredients. I can't say a enough good things about it. It is a hidden gem in Montgomery.
Germano's is one of those restaurants that doesn't need to spend on a lot of advertisement. The food is good, the service smooth and as our 7-year old grandson stated "That carrot cake is amazing. The best I've ever had!" While Germano's is primarily an "adult" restaurant, the staff went out of their way to accommodate twin boys.
We love Germano's and have for years. The food is exceptional as is the service. I would highly recommend.
We had a very nice dinner at Germanos. College Age son said the filet was the best he had ever had. Gnochi was delicious as was the salmon. Will definitely return.
Very good food and service. First time there and will definitely go again
The quality, flavors and portions are always perfect.
Always a nice place to go. Daily specials are good but a little pricey. The best part was the carryout lasagne for $15! Awesome!!
I have been taking my Grandmother to this restaurant for her birthday since 2006. This year we will be celebrating Gramma's 97th birthday. The staff is amazing and even special order lamb chops just for her. You can't beat that kind of service!
Germano's consistently delivers the best quality and is always pleasant. The amaretto souffle is still my favorite dessert after all these years.
This is a wonderful restaurant-great service, very attentive. The citrus arugula salad was wonderful -enjoyed mine with perfectly cooked scallops. The bread was served warm and was delicious. My friend enjoyed the chicken parmesean-said it was the best she ever had and also said the garlic italian cream dressing was delicious.
Perfect lunch pot to share with my old friend I hadn't seen for forty five years. Lovely ,refined,quiet. With fabulous food and attentive waiter. Bravo to the man from Duronia!cm
Not having been there for several years, returned on an early evening for a reliably excellent meal, in a busy neighborhood of Cincinnati. Not disappointed. Able to be seated right away, service was excellent. Food very well prepared. Felt the menu could have been more expansive, but what they offered was great. Not a hot spot, but recommend for quality Italian meal. Known for Raspberry pie.
The wine, food and service were excellent. I found the pricing to be reasonable.
While the menu isn't extensive, it is unique and well prepared. We especially enjoyed the calamari appetizer; it isn't fried as normally found in restaurants but sauteed in a wine sauce with mushrooms and a little spice. Very nice and a highlight of our meal. The noise level was a bit too much; we had a difficult time just talking with one another or hearing the waitress describes the specials.
Overall a great dining experience. Would go again.
Food was delicious, my group ordered tasty pasta, steaks and seafood; everyone was happy with their choices. The raspberry pie for dessert was heavenly! The staff was friendly, prompt and service oriented. Our server gave us some fresh mint for his garden to take home to root!
Germano's never fails to impress both with service and food. The salmon was fantastic and tips from our server were great. As usual, the Raspberry Pie Mrs. Germano makes was incredible. They even permitted us to purchase a whole pie to take home! This is a versatile restaurant, good for romantic dinner, business dinner or family dinner. Their takeout specials are unbelievable too. I especially like how they are so accommodating with requests. They will make anything you want. Just ask! They have good knowledge of their wines too. It is not the norm anymore to have the kind of service Germano's provides. Most restaurants these days seem to fail to properly train their staff/hire people who don't really care. Not the case at Germano's!
This was our 3rd time visiting this restaurant and we didn't leave with intentions to go back anytime soon. First, the place always smells like a basement and has zero ambiance. Our server was basically non existent and made it painful for me to add any tip for his effort (I did leave 18% though). One of our group owned a local family restaurant for years said her food was good, but wasn't excited about anything else. Also, there was limited options for wine by the glass.
Décor is dated and needs a facelift. The only reason I didn't choose it for a special occasion. However, they still use white linen/cotton tablecloths and napkins - which is always a nice touch. I wouldn't hesitate to go there for a casual dinner. Food and service are excellent.
Our waiter Mark was terrific, food was very good and all in all it was a very good meal.
Germanos is the go to spot to celebrate our anniversary and this year, our 30th, was no exception. Great experience as usual.
It had been a long time since we dined at Germanos. Some of the negative reviews almost kept us from going back, but we were glad that we did! Our food was excellent, the waiter was attentive and helpful, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Very enjoyable evening, and the raspberry pie was still amazing!
Took my girlfriend to Germano's for a special date night and we came in right when the dinner service started, so we were the only customers in the restaurant for a few minutes. The server came to our table promptly and respectively and gave us enough time to decide what we wanted, and did not make us feel rushed or hurried at all. I got the special that day, Alaskan Halibut with Risotto, and my girlfriend got the fettuccine alfredo, both of which were delicious. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to have a night for special occasions.
Germanos is always a great choice for Italian. On our last visit, it did take a bit longer than expected to get served (we had an early reservation), but the food was great.
The halibut was fantastic - perfectly prepared and nicely seasoned. All vegetables were nicely cooked and seasoned as well. But the show-stopper was the fresh blackberry pie - outstanding!
Our first visit. I read some other reviews (all praised the food some questioned ambiance & service) and the food is indeed very good, some of the most tender veal I have ever had. The service was top notch and the decor, though a little dated, was very nice. No problems here only praise, I would recommend to anyone and we will be back .
We had an outstanding dining exoerience. Germano's comes highly recommended and did not disappoint. Each course is perfectly prepared and presentations are beautiful. The raspberry pie is "to die for".
It is on our once a week or every other week agenda.
We have returned to this restaurant for years - the salads have improved and are chopped fine so that they can eaten easily. Our waitress this time seemed to be new and had trouble spitting out the specials - forgot to take the order of one in our party. She will catch on ...
Great place to hold a business lunch-quiet and outstanding service -always. Brian waited on us and he always is top service! The owner/chef came out to check on us. I enjoyed a delicious blackened tilapia with fresh vegetables, my dining parnter enjoyed a panko crusted salmon with a side of pasta. The bread is always warm and fresh. Great place in the heart of Montgomery. Easy parking in back.
Or evening at Germanos was spotless and delicious! The food is outstanding! I had the most tender veal I have ever had! Mr. Germano greeted us at the door and he came to check on us repeatedly during our meal. He even took the time to help us pick out the perfect wine and personally decanted it for us! When owners put this much love into their restaurant, it shine through in every aspect! Happy employees, happy customers, and happy memories. This will be a place I will visit many many more times!
I've eaten at Germano's many times. I enjoy the food and the service is always very good. I highly recommend the blackberry pie! There's nothing like it!
An excellent restaurant. Great food, great service with an outstanding menu
Service was outstanding. Food was above average. Just the right portions
Germano's has Italian good food, but not great Italian food. Nothing really sets it apart as more authentic than other Italian restaurants in their class of service or price point. For me, I feel like there should be higher quality for the prices on the menu. That said, the food was tasty, the ambiance great for a romantic date, but it's a little noisy. Our server was attentive and kind, as one would expect for a nice restaurant. For the money, I would choose Nicola's downtown or Prima Vista first.
We eat hear every time we visit. From filet mignon to pasta. Even the salad was especially crisp. Fabulous every time!!!
Our first visit to Germano's was very pleasant, and everything was delicious. Only negative was that the food was very rich, so next time we may skip dessert and just have a second glass of wine instead.
I can only rave about the service, food, wine and true Italian feel I get each time I visit Germano's. Now that they have wonderful carry-out deals, we'll be enjoying their authentic Italian even more often!
As we arrived at Germano's we were invited to a complementary wine tasting with light appetizers. We enjoyed some beautiful Italian wines with various cheeses and sausage. It was a great start to the night. Next up as we enjoyed our meals we got a bottle of the tasting wine. It was a cab that went well with my wife's gnocchi and scallops and my veal parmesan. The scallops were prepared in a cream sauce that my wife just loved. My veal was tender and filled with flavor. No trip to Germano's would be complete without having the berry pie. It is a favorite. Do not make the mistake we made by just getting one slice and sharing, get 2 slices. It went well with our espresso. It was a great night with great food, wine, and service.
We enjoyed a superb lamb chop entree and the tomato caprese appetizer with a chopped olive mix had outstanding flavors. I love their signature raspberry pie too! A great place to go.
The chef at Germano out did himself again. We celebrated a birthday with friends and all were thrilled with their entrees. I had the four course special with the Fruite de Mare. The scallops were to die for. The waiter offered several house specials for the day that left us torn between choices. The Tiramasu was authentic and scrumptious.
We've searched all over Cincinnati to find good Italian food and we found the "IT" factor in Germano's. Look no further. This is IT .. great Italian food. A must try is the famous raspberry pie. It's super light, tasty and just delicious. Favorite of mine is the spaghetti aglio e olio and a 4oz steak.
Great place, wonderful food and just a nice experience.
The ambience is the best. Service excellent. I love to mix the calamari starter with the alfredo pasta. Always interesting soups to choose from. Parsnip soup was intersting and enjoyable. Round all this off with desserts (raspberry/Boston creme/pastry pie or Tiramisu) Sambuco and an expresso. Along with an excellent wine list this is a dining experience like no other.
I was in Cincinnati visiting a friend and randomly chose this restaurant off of Urbanspoon. I'm proud to report that we were not disappointed. Located in the quaint area of Montgomery, the short walk form the free parking lot was rather enjoyable. The streets give the small town feeling, when you're only minutes away from the busy downtown! The service was great, we were quickly seated and our server was very familiar with the menu and able to offer some good suggestions. The food was delicious and the portion size was very reasonable. Overall I'd say the best part was the staff, they were very friendly and even though I'm not from that area, they made me feel right at home! Would definitely recommend this restaurant !!
We love this place..The Lemon Picata is amazing..and don't forget to save room or take home some.... raspberry pie...
My wife and I have been doing a holiday shopping trip to Cincinnati for years. A dinner at Germano's has been part of that excursion for at least the past 12 years. She always has a veal dish which they do to perfection and I usually do seafood. This year the Frutti de Mare was outstanding. Very nice wine list and the Super Tuscan I tried was wonderful. This year, Mr. Germano came from the kitchen to visit our table. Nice touch!

My Twinkle Experience
Saturday, December 5th, 2009by Lauren
My time at Twinkle thus far has been a compilation of so many different experiences— surviving the sample sale, design development, rendering flats, sketching design ideas…etc. When I started this internship I was unsure of what to expect, especially considering this is my first design internship. All I knew was that I wanted it to be a learning experience that went beyond the fundamentals of the classroom. That is exactly what this internship has become for me. I don't think there has been one day when I haven't learned something from the people here. It might not always pertain to fashion design, but I certainly value everything I have gained from this experience. Plus, who doesn't love an internship where there are always snacks and you don't have to run for coffee unless it is your own.
