Chris Evans "overjoyed" with CarFest
6:40pm Thursday 30th August 2012 in News By Helen Morton
THOUSANDS of people from around the UK flocked to CarFest South near Overton at the weekend.
Despite heavy showers on Saturday, the 15,000 sell-out crowd enjoyed an eclectic mix of music, supercars and food, along with events such as welly-wanging, dancing diggers and culinary competitions. The outbreak of sunny weather on Sunday also added to everyone's comfort and joy.
The event, raised at least £350,000 for BBC charity Children in Need and was the brainchild of DJ and presenter, Chris Evans, who told The Gazette he was "overjoyed" with how well it had turned out.
He said: "I've had so many people come up to me and tell me what a great time they're having."
The family festival, held at Laverstoke Park Farm, Overton, owned by former Formula 1 champion Jody Scheckter, had something for everyone. But one of the biggest draws was a hill climb, showcasing classic and extraordinary cars, which was held on both days.
Crowds lined the route to drool over 11 categories of rare vehicles, including Mr Evans's own Magnificent Seven Ferraris, as they drove past, along with cars owned by Mr Scheckter.
Categories included a Supercar Seven – which featured an Aston Martin Vanquish – a Motorsport Seven and a Million Pound Seven in which each car displayed was worth at least one million pounds, including a Bugatti Veyron.
Visitors then had the chance to bid for their own dream car at a Pride and Joy auction, with all kinds of cars sold at prices ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands.
One of the lots – a 1964 VW Campervan, was sold by a man who had pledged to give all the proceeds to charity.
Throughout both days visitors were also able to look round a paddock crammed with beautiful, unusual and wacky cars. There was a car which doubled up as a bed, the car from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a DeLorean which was the exact replica of the car in the film Back to the Future.
While the cars were the main attraction on the ground during the days, the skies above Laverstoke were the setting for some incredible aerial displays.
Aerobatics and flypasts were performed by the Royal Navy's helicopter display team – The Black Cats – along with RAF Tornadoes, The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the veteran Vulcan jet bomber, Red Arrows and The Blades stunt team. Jody Scheckter said he was delighted to have been involved.
He said: "It's a wonderful event. I met Chris Evans a few years ago at a party and found that we had a lot in common – mainly cars and food. That's probably why we get along so well.
"This all came about from a conversation we had and the next thing I know he's announcing it on the radio.
"It's great to see the children playing and dancing and having fun here. That's what it's all about really."

The parental controls on this device took some time to set up but seemed well thought out. After the first time my kids used this tablet,their user accounts were locked out for using too much time. It became clear that their account were locked out for exceeding their time limits even when they had used no time at all. After trying many different ways to set up the time limits (including trying 10 different methods to turn them off completely) I found that after one use, the kids accounts were locked out for good. I had to wipe out the account and create a new one each time they wanted to use the device (A ten minute chore each time) After many e-mails, Kurio support finally offered the remedy listed below. After already investing many hours trying to get this thing running correctly I for one am done.From KURIO:In this case a hard reset would need to be done.Please hold the power button for 10-15 seconds to force the device to powerdown.Please follow the directions below to recover your device:1). With the power completely off, press and hold the volume up "+" button.2). With the Vol. "+" button still held, press the power button to turn onyour device.3). Once the device powers on, you may release the power button. Do NOT let goof the Vol. "+" button4). You will then boot into a recovery screen. Press the Vol. "+" button toget the options to appear.5). Select "wipe data/factory reset". The Vol. "+/-" buttons navigate thescreen, the Power button selects.6). Once complete, please select "reboot now".After the reset the recovery package has to be installed.To recover your preloaded package, you will need the following: - A computer with USB port- The supplied USB cable- The reset tablet, powered on and showing the first setup page (language choice). From your computer, download the recovery package from this page.The file is big so this may take some time to get it. Once downloaded, please unzip the file. This will create a directory called "recover". Plug the tablet to the USB port of the computer using the supplied cable. The tablet should appear as a mobile device on your computer. This mobile device contains 2 disks, one called Kurio SD card and the other one called Shared (it may contain a 3rd disk if you are using an external SD card). Copy the recover directory onto the Kurio SD card. Do not nest the directory inside another existing directory.This process will take some time (30 to 40 minutes). It is recommended to plug the tablet to the mains during this procedure to avoid draining the battery too much. Once it is completed, you will see the setup screen again. Redo the initial setup procedure the same way you did it once first used. Kurio is now fully restored. Once everything is completed, plug the tablet to the computer again and delete the recover directory from the tablet memory. It is recommended that you keep a copy of this directory on your computer or a Udisk to avoid downloading it again if further needed.

I got one for my two girls (7 & 4) and it is their favorite toy - which is awesome considering the age gap. I was able to set up different parental controls for each and time limits so they both get turns and can only see what's appropriate for them. They have so much fun with it and also are learning to share peacefully - amazing!

I bought this tablet for my grandaughters. The parental controls are great. The pre-loaded apps are perfect for them and include many learning tools. The only negative so far is the battery doesn't seem to hold charge long enough.

See all my reviews
The product works well, both of my kids(4 and 10) can navigate it/use it easily. The only drawback I have found is when you open the browser(say to go on Google Play and set up a new app), it is either slow in going or it isn't receptive to you trying to click on specific items on the page(it will zoom in and out as you tap instead of access the app you are trying to add).

I searched for a good breakfast place in Newport the morning of, because we were planning on spending the day there (not realizing how touristy the town is). I found this on urbanspoon, out of only four options for breakfast. It is a cozy, bustling place with extremely attentive, kind waitresses. The "hostess" (actually the "drink maker") offered to try and make my mom's favorite cafe au lait. We ordered juice, which was really disappointing. I don't know what I was thinking, but somehow (and I'm sure this was their intention), I thought by "juice blends," they meant homemade, but you could clearly see the Welches containers. Perhaps if I had not seem her mixing these, I wouldn't have been so dissatisfied. I ordered the Rancheros Light (Whole wheat burrito filled with egg whites, tomato, cucumber, baby spinach, red onion, and swiss topped with salsa), which came with a fruit parfait. All of which was excellent.

This route will restore your respect for the ratings. After thrashing up this offwidth, I felt like I was going to puke. The bottom twenty feet is thin hands, followed by a chimney so narrow that I was only able to squeeze through by clipping my chalk bag and all gear to my side and taking off my helmet. This way is pretty claustrophobic, so unless you weigh less than about 120 pounds I wouldn't recommend it! It's probably better to lieback this wide section. A rest is available after coming out of the chimney, and is followed by another offwidth section that's 5 or 6 inches wide. This section will require at least 3 large pieces: possibly a 4.5 camalot, #5 camalots, and at least one bigger piece like a #6 friend or a big-bro. Enjoy!
Cams for thin hands for the first twenty feet. Several large cams up to #6 Friend or big bros required for top section.
The Harding Slot of Indian cr... but certainly not as hard to get into or as sustained
one would have to be very slender to squeeze the bulge/crux- I tried but didn't fit. I worked a left chicken wing, left foot cam with right hand using crimps and slopers to work my way up the first part of the bulge. When I could no longer reach the crack with my left foot, I cut loose and threw a high heel hook with my right foot and manteled over the roof. After that its 6-?inches of staight forward OW to the chains(a #4 or #5 big bro would be needed to protect the last 10 feet)
Much easier than Big Baby.
I loved this climb! I'm alsways looking for interesting squeezes, and this one takes the cake. I scratched up my harness buckle pulling myself up through the roof, and found it much better when I re-did the route in a swami belt. It's tight!
be careful, I way 175 and it was painful getting through the chimney, almost got totally stuck. #6 camalots above the bulge <<< Invalid image id: 106618802 >>>
If you can fit through the chimney slot this might be 5.10 but if you have to go around I would say 5.11 is more accurate. Bring at least one #6 Camalot.
Gave up trying to fit through the chimney on this one. No need to lieback the outside, though. You can leg bar the inside leg & chimney/stem with the outside leg, and work up the chickenwing until you're high enough to grab the knobby corner. Press both hands tight on that and do a mantle! Upper OW is fun & straightforward armbars & heel-toes. Some cheater holds near the end make the final overhanging bit pretty reasonable.
After a fairly crazy night at the cotton woods, I decided this is the only appropriate route for me to climb. A route name like binge and purge was going to royally fix my hangover. After forgetting a #2 camalot and having one of my friends run around to get me a perfect hand jam piece, I placed a #5 in the large part of the crack and put my right shoulder in the crack. WRONG! I had to down climb and switch to my left shoulder. I groveled my giant body through the slot purging me of the horrible feeling in my gut from the night before. Once on the ledge the terrible nauseous feeling started to triple. Well who cares how you feel just start off widthing this giant crack! I placed a six and started groveling. The groveling took forever and the nausea was getting worse. I placed 3 #6 camalots for that section and when I got to the final roof I grabbed a bunch of thank god jugs that freed me from the off width. I climbed to the top of the crack and wiggled my hips in and just waited for the nausea to fully take over. I didn't puke, but it was real close. Have fun!
Ben! We all felt that way that day! But as I recall you also sent fingers in a light socket that same day like a boss! This is a truly unique and an incredible climb!

Down East 2013 ©

For many people a cherished childhood memory is that of the ice cream van, with its trail of tots responding to a cheery song like they're following a pied piper. For the past six years, a distinctly different type of van has been rolling into Maine neighborhoods, announcing not a cargo of sugary treats but the opportunity for young people to express themselves through art.
The ArtVan, a program that began in 2004 for two low-income neighborhoods in Bath (it's currently in talks to merge with VSA Arts of Maine), has grown to also serve young people in Biddeford, Brunswick, Lewiston, and Auburn. Using a brightly painted van filled with paint, clay, markers, and even colored duct tape, ArtVan founder and artistic director Jamie Silvestri finds children as young as two and as old as eighteen wanting to express themselves through art. "Art therapy is nothing magic," explains Silvestri, who holds a master's degree in expressive art therapy and worked in institutional settings before settling in Maine. "It reaches the same goals as traditional psychotherapy, but it uses art to get there."
After announcing the ArtVan's arrival through flyers, school announcements, and the van's own horn, Silvestri and program coordinator Allison Baird arrange their art supplies in a predetermined community center. From there, the community's children take the materials in whatever creative direction they wish. "There's a goal of how we can focus on helping the larger community through helping these small groups of kids," Silvestri says.
In Lewiston-Auburn, for instance, she says young people often use art to talk about cultural barriers. In another community, the art may end up dealing with vandalism or some other issue facing residents. "You never know who is going to show up," Silvestri remarks. "We have a core group of kids who tend to follow us, but you have a really transient population — people get divorced, move out of the area, or whatever. We offer kids freedom through the art-making process."

Stating--and Fixing--the Obvious
We've been critical of President Obama on numerous occasions, but today, we'll give him credit for describing last week's breach of airline security as a "systemic failure."
While Mr. Obama's comment might be described as stating the obvious, it was refreshing (if overdue) for someone in the administration to admit that we came periously close to catastrophe in the skies over Michigan on Christmas Day. The President's remarks also made a mockery of earlier statements by other officials, particularly Homeland Security director Janet Napolitano, who initially claimed that the "system worked."
Of course, the President's admission creates a few problems for his national security team. Ms. Napolitano's original assertion was remarkably similar to that of White House spokesman Robert Gibbs, who also made the rounds of the Sunday talk shows. So, claims about the system "working" were clearly based on administration talking points. The White House apparently believed the public would accept that explanation until it became a national joke, forcing other officials--and finally, the President--to offer more realistic assessments. It would be an understatement to say Team Obama has suffered another serious blow to its credibility.
Then, there's the little matter of fixing that gaping security breach. The President, in best bureaucratic fashion, has ordered a "top-level review" of the intelligence failures that caused the near-disaster. A preliminary report is due on his desk on New Year's Eve; a more detailed assessment will follow in 2010. Mr. Obama is also promising accountability in the matter. Presumably, that means that someone will lose his (or her) job because of the screw-up, which nearly resulted in hundreds of fatalities.
Unfortunately, the government's track record in accountability is hardly promising. George Tenet, then-Director of Central Intelligence, kept his job after the debacles that led to 9-11. Ditto for other, senior intelligence officials. There's not much motive for senior bureaucrats to improve their job performance--or that of their subordinates--if everyone keeps their jobs, even after the most glaring intelligence failures.
The guarantee of lifetime employment is also a powerful disincentive to end the turf battles that still beset our intelligence community. Consider the "data trail" that preceded Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to bring down Flight 253. Abdulmutallab's father, a prominent Nigerian banker and former government economics minister, personally warned the U.S. Embassy in Lagos last month.
Given the elder Abdulmutallab's stature, it's clear he wasn't passed off to some minor consular official who passed the information along in a routine diplomatic cable. Reading between the lines of this AFP report, it seems clear that the CIA station in Lagos was notified immediately, and it's quite likely that agency personnel were involved in conversations with Abdulmutallab's father.
The CIA also insists that it passed the information to the National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC), and ensured that Farouk Abdulmutallab's name was entered into a government database. What happened after that is a bit fuzzy; despite the initial report (and later information that highlighted Abdulmutallab's ties to terrorists in Yemen), the "underwear bomber" never made it onto a no-fly list. The failure was compounded by other red flags, also missed by security personnel. He had no checked luggage for his "trip" to Detroit; Adbulmutallab paid for his one-way ticket in cash and was allowed to board the Northwest flight without a passport.
We suspect that the intelligence problems resulted, in part, from differing security classifications for the various databases. The initial report from Abdulmutallab's father was likely classified at the "Secret" level and disseminated via SIPRNET, the government intranet cleared for material up to that level. Meanwhile, reporting that linked the Nigerian to radicals in Yemen might have been based on SIGINT reporting; information of that type is normally held at the "Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmentalized Information (TS/SCI), and disseminated via another network, known as JWICS.
Put another way, it's quite likely that those vital bits of intelligence data were never fused together. That would have given the feds ample reason to bar Abdulmutallab from the flight, although his actions in Amsterdam were more than sufficient for a secondary screening which might have revealed his hidden bomb.
Of course, the intelligence community has an organization that's supposed to "fuse" terrorist-related intel information--the NCTC. But the center is hardly immue from the long-running turf battles between the CIA and the FBI. The two agencies have sparred for years over the counter-terrorism mission and that war has only intensified since 9-11. With billions of budget dollars on the line (and dominance in the counter-terror mission at stake), it's little wonder that the NCTC has become yet another battleground for the FBI and CIA. True, the center actually falls under the Director of National Intelligence (DNI), but with the CIA and FBI providing most of the personnel, conflicts over intel sources, methods and information reliability are inevitable.
And the list of problems doesn't end there. Beyond database issues and turf wars, there's the "mindset" that dominates our battles against terrorists. With the arrival of the Obama Team, the U.S. government has returned to a "law enforcement" approach in dealing with terror groups. Closing Gitmo, shipping Khalid Sheik Mohammed to Manhattan for a civilian trial and even the handling of Farouk Abdulmutallab are evidence of a changing mindset, one that will make it more difficult to prosecute terrorists--and implement solutions to deter future attacks.
You see, there's already a successful system for dealing with the types of threats posed by radicals like Abdulmutallab and his handlers in Yemen. It's the Israeli model, based heavily on advanced passenger screening and profiling. Israel's state airline (El Al) and other carriers have used this approach for years, supplemented with additional layers of physical security at the airport and on individual aircraft. Additionally, Israel is the only nation to take the extra measure of installing missile defense systems on passenger jets, protecting them against yet another potential threat.
But enhanced screening and passenger profiling have become dirty words in the United States. Concerns about civil liberties (and the initial cost for such measures) have prevented profiling on U.S. carriers. And, sadly enough, neither the Bush or Obama Administrations have shown any leadership in these areas. Indeed, it will be an uphill battle to install advanced, "full-body" scanners in American airports.
It's easy enough to spot the holes in our existing security system. But mustering the political courage to implement the required fixes is another matter entirely. We're guessing that enhanced passenger screening and profiling measures won't be implemented until an Al Qaida bomber actually succeeds, and brings down a passenger jet, killing hundreds of innocent civilians.
Then--and only then--will our political leaders summon the courage to do the right thing.

Worst episode EVER! - Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons
Production of the tenth (!!!) installment in the indefatigable Friday the 13th series wrapped in my hometown of Toronto late in the summer of 2000. The film was to be released a couple of months later for Halloween, then bumped to March 2001, then summer, then Halloween, then Spring 2002... Is it just me, or does this suggest to you that maybe - just maybe - the producers are in a serious panic, desperately re-shooting or re-editing in vain before admitting defeat? Even if you haven't seen the unmitigated disaster that is Jason X, the multiple postponements of its release should help you do the math.(read more...)
Stop me if you've already heard this one: a bunch of rugged-outdoors-types go traipsing off to a dangerous, exotic land in search of a legendary giant ape. The bete noir in question is soon located and, after a nominal amount of carnage, the silly buggers cart him back to civilization to get rich by exploiting his hairy butt in front of sellout crowds. Of course, it doesn't take long before the big fella decides that city life doesn't agree with him and goes...well...apes**t, bustin' loose and single-handedly implementing his own radical urban renewal program, and then...oh, so you're familiar with the tale, then?(read more...)
When a boat full of convicts headed for a maximum-security island facility runs into trouble, the occupants are forced to take refuge in a lighthouse on a small island (hence the U.K. title Lighthouse). Serial killer Leo Rook manages to bust loose and spends the rest of the night stalkin', slashin' and stirrin' it up in classic Michael Myers/Jason Voorhees style. Sure, the plotline's derivative as hell, but British writer/director Simon Hunter takes an admittedly pedestrian premise and elevates it to heights rarely achieved since the original Halloween.(read more...)
It's hard to imagine another writer/director responsible for so many of horror's highest highs and lowest lows as Wes Craven. Take a look at his resume - this guy doesn't tread a lot of middle ground. The man who altered horror's landscape with A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream is also responsible for regrettable duds like Deadly Friend, Shocker and The People Under the Stairs.(read more...)
The independent horror film may have exploded in the Seventies, but its continued success throughout the Eighties solidified it as a commodity. (And that's just about the only good thing that happened in pop culture during the Eighties - remember that gawdawful music?) Down the ensuing years, Prison has proven considerably less popular and influential than some of its peers like A Nightmare On Elm Street or The Evil Dead, but it's easily one of the best horror films of the Spandex decade.(read more...)
The funeral is about to begin... Sir!
In movies, it's often much too easy to see the pivotal moment coming; in real life, we rarely do. In fact, we're usually blindsided by it, and I must admit I prefer it that way. Case in point...(read more...)
It's rare, but you'd better believe it exists: a blatant rip-off that's actually better than its source material. The film in this case is Rituals, and the source is Deliverance. Shot on location in the Northern Ontario bush, Rituals follows five vacationing doctors on an extended wilderness hike. They're targeted by an unseen madman who begins by pulling a few nasty pranks, then ups the ante to murder. As the atrocities pile up, the victims slowly begin to figure out their assailant's bizarre motive.(read more...)

You've read about Office 365 Home Premium and the Cloud and how Office and SkyDrive are better together. If you haven't seen it, check out the Welcome to Office video below for a preview of how Office is connected to the cloud:
This video plays when you first install the new Office and introduces the idea that signing in connects Office to you and to the cloud.
The goal of this article is to dig deeper into what signing in unlocks and why we're so excited about the functionality it offers.
One of our big investments in the new Office was around making Office yours. This means:
In everyday life, this is working on your documents on a phone, PC, or tablet, regardless of whether you're at home, school, work, or on the bus. It means that even if you forget your laptop at home, you'll still be able to get to your files and Office programs, because they're associated with you, not stuck on just one computer.
Subscription and sign-in are how we make all this goodness happen.
Lots of great things! Signing in brings your whole world together. Here are 4 things that happen when you sign in:
The new Office incorporates the concept of "roaming": your stuff going with you whether you're on your PC, tablet, or phone, or someone else's, like a school, library, or work computer (or even a trusted friend's).
A big frustration is often that you have to reconfigure your Office programs every time you install them on a new computer. We asked: what if you didn't have to do that? What if you could just sign in and all your settings are just... there?
So, that's what we did. Here's what travels with you:
Places. The SkyDrive associated with your Microsoft account is already there to save to or open documents from, but if you have multiple SkyDrive (or SkyDrive Pro) accounts, you can easily add them by clicking Add a Place.
Any places you add here will be available across all of your programs (if you add a place in Word, it'll be there in PowerPoint.) If you sign into Office on someone else's computer, your places will be there as well.
Personalization. If you selected a theme for Office when you first installed it, this also goes with you. It's a visual cue that you're signed in as yourself and another way to make Office feel like it's yours.
Recently used documents. Whenever you launch a program or go to open a file, you'll see a list of your recently used documents. You can also pin important documents here. It doesn't matter where you are or what device you're on: if you're signed in, your most recently used (and pinned) documents will be there.
Pinned templates. Have a favorite template you like to use? If you pinned it to the Start Place (the first screen you see when you launch an Office program), it will remain pinned even when you sign in to Office on another computer.
Resume reading. Office remembers where you left off reading in Word and PowerPoint. The next time you open up that document you'll get a bubble which, when clicked, will let you jump to that location to pick up where you left off:
You will also be able to automatically resume reading across devices, like on your Windows tablet or Windows phone.
Connected services. You can connect accounts like LinkedIn to your Office programs. Plus, your Facebook and LinkedIn contacts will integrate effortlessly with Outlook. Connected services are there wherever you sign in to Office, and you can easily add or remove services from the Account section in any Office program.
Custom dictionary. I don't know about you, but my last name always shows up as misspelled when I first use a program. We had a lot of happy people when we told them they only have to add a word to their dictionary once, instead of every time they install Office or switch computers!
With anywhere access at Office.com and SkyDrive.com, there's even more you can do with just a web browser:
Office.com. This is your go-to location to manage your Office account, including:
Plus, if you have an Office subscription, you can also:
SkyDrive.com is where your files live when you save to the cloud. Here you can create and edit documents with the free Office Web Apps, and if you're on a computer without Office installed but have an Office subscription, you'll get the option to edit documents with Office on Demand for a full desktop app experience.
Your files and settings aren't the only things that roam. Here's how you can get to your Office anywhere:
Office on Demand. If you have an Office 365 subscription like Office 365 Home Premium and are connected to the internet, you can stream and use any rich Office programs on any modern PC without having to install them. In short: you can get your Office programs anywhere in a matter of seconds. There's an entire section on Office on Demand in our Office and the Cloud blog post and even more deep technical detail in our engineering article Click-to-Run and Office on Demand.
Office Web Apps. The new Office Web Apps are now live on SkyDrive. You can use the Web Apps to edit or create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more from a browser anywhere, even on your tablet. For more details on some of their new features, check out this post on the new Office Web Apps.
Even install Office on the go. Need your full set of programs on another machine? You can install directly from the internet when you sign in to Office.com.
When your documents aren't stuck on one computer, it also makes it easier to share and work with others, regardless of where you (or they) are located:
Work offline. Even if you're about to get on a plane, you can still work on SkyDrive documents even if you're disconnected from the internet. Any changes you make will sync automatically when you go back online. This is called "offline sync" and is just one of the perks you get from installing SkyDrive client along with Office. Check out the Office and SkyDrive post for more info.
Simple sharing. Documents you save to the cloud can be shared right from Office. When you go to "Share", you can invite people you're working on a document with to read or edit documents right from Office. If they don't have Office installed, they'll be taken to the Office Web Apps and can work in their browser.
Work together (also called co-authoring). Coauthoring means that once you share a document with others, you can all work together at the same time. This is possible in Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote, both in the free Web Apps and the desktop apps on your PC or tablet. You're notified when someone else has joined to edit the document, and you can see their changes simultaneously alongside yours. For other programs like Excel, while coauthoring isn't possible, sharing is still simple and makes keeping track of changes easy. When you invite people to read/edit a document using Share, they can separately add their edits and comments, which means you don't need to email different copies or manage multiple versions of the same file. Plus, your document is stored in the cloud, so you can get to it wherever you go.
Present files online. This is a special feature in both Word and PowerPoint, and I can't tell you how useful this would have been for working on projects when I was in school. Even if you and your partner are working from separate locations, you can step through a paper or presentation together (there's even built-in IM functionality so you can message each other). Get more details over at the PowerPoint blog and the Word blog, where they discuss presenting files online in Office 2013.
We know that people don't like to sign in a lot or maintain multiple different accounts. Most of us already have several accounts for email, social networking, cloud storage, etc. You don't necessarily want to make a new one, or have to sign in when you didn't have to before.
With this in mind, we've done what we can to make it super easy while still getting you all the benefits associated with sign in. When we asked people what they thought of signing in, one of their main questions was, "Do I have to sign in every time I launch Word?"
The answer is a definitely not! All you have to do is sign into Office once and all your programs will remember you.
To make things even easier: if you use Windows 8 and sign into your computer with your Microsoft account, Office will automatically sign you in. And if you work at an organization that uses domain accounts, you'll also automatically be signed into Office on both Windows 7 and Windows 8.
You can sign into your Office in a few different places:
First Run Experience. When you install Office, you'll see what we call the "First Run Experience" (where you're welcomed with the video and offered a chance to sign in.)
In Office. You can sign into Office from the top right of any app. In your Office programs just look for "Sign in" or "Sign in to get the most out of Office" at the top right:
Online at Office.com and SkyDrive.com. As mentioned in the "What happens once I'm signed in?" section, there are a bunch of things you can do online, too.
With so many different sites and services asking you to sign up for an account, it's tough to keep track of all the different usernames you use everywhere. We wanted to simplify the process as much as possible. That's why Microsoft on the whole is switching to using just one account for all of its services, from Windows 8, to Office, to Xbox.The great news is that chances are, you may already have a Microsoft account without knowing it.
You already have a Microsoft account if you...
But even if you don't have a Microsoft account, you don't have to create a completely new username or sign up for a new email account just to get one. You can use any email address you already own for your username. Then just create a password of your choosing. For more information on Microsoft accounts, check out this video.
One of the best things about all the work we've done in this space is that it's just the start. We've gone from zero to sixty in no time flat - from Office just being on your computer to living in the cloud in the blink of an eye.
Signing in gets you a ton already: roaming your documents and settings, using your Office programs from anywhere, coauthoring, presenting online, and more. But this initial push is just the first of many steps to enriching and personalizing the Office experience.
We're dreaming up more ways to make working across devices and collaborating with others an effortless experience from anywhere - one where you don't even have to think about the fact that it's happening; it simply works the way you'd expect it to.
That's why we love sign-in so much, and we think you'll love it, too.

good info
The Office suite of products are very impressive.
Office 365 is good, but in my opinion it really doesn't quite match the potential of the desktop applications by far. I've become quite the fan of Office 2010 in the past year to be honest (previously using Open Office) but 365.. Not quite yet.
My main gripe is that whenever you need something deeper then it often can't cope anymore whereas the desktop apps. wouldn't have had a problem with it.
Don't get me wrong: its good, but not as good as ye ole 2010 :-)
Ironic as it may sound; your sign on is kinda b0rk. Signing on using my Microsoft account results in me being signed in on top and needing to sign in at the bottom. Only after using my trusty blogs account can I write this message.Kinda odd, figured I'd mention it.
Apart from all that: keep up the good work, good to see you folks are still around!

@ Blackwolf there really isnt a build log anywhere, since it was kinda done over a long time. @ julio, kinda a bad way to rate a 5.... what is wrong with asus and msi?
Unfortunately, it would seem there's a subset of people who register accounts simply to troll the Case Mod Gallery. I'll give you a 10 to help counteract the troll votes and because it's deserved. Sweet build, man. Always had a sweet spot for 2P builds, esp. with 8-Core Xeons. Extremely clean and aesthetically pleasing.
I voted 10/10 because: 10/10, This build looks incredibly clean, and you have obviously put alot of time and effort to making sure its looks right!
I voted 10/10 because: sorry for repeating myself but... I voted 10/10 because: It is easy to vote a one and not give a reason. There was an experiment conducted where one person was hooked to a chair and another person was placed in front of him. The person that was not bound was told they could push the button in front and give the person in front an electrical shock. Very few would do so if the bound person could see them but when they were cloaked so that the bound person could not identify them they became almost sadistic. I am not try to get behind the ideology of those who give ones without justification but I feel she should be required to say who they are so we may also look at their accomplishments. I am sorry for becoming long winded but this is a case modification site not a performance site those who truly work on their cases producing a one of a kind deserve our respect for their accomplishments and should be judged according to those standards. You can purchase a lot of part and put them together yet you have not done any medications, but painting, changing design, being creative is what medications are all about. So my standard is if I can purchase and produce the same computer it is not modified, if I have to perform design changes, and extra steps to achieve the same design it is modified. Can I produce a computer that looks like this one off the shelf; no I can't so therefore this is a modified computer and I vote 10 to counter the children who hide behind their mask not wanting us to see their work. I also like to give pointers where I can to help my fellow modders.

Updated: Oct 16, 2012 11:40 AM
Local animal shelters are trying to get the word out-- the effects of the recession have left them packed.
Thousands of cats and dogs are put down every year on the Central Coast, and those tough decisions continue.
Eric Anderson, Animal Services Manager for San Luis Obispo County, says the county's shelter is full to capacity.
"Over the last several years or even couple of months we've been seeing a steady increase in the number of animals turned in and parallel to that, a decrease in the number of adoptions," Anderson said.
At the San Luis Obispo County shelter, 54 animals have been put down this month. Anderson says that's actually down by about 30 from the same period last year, reflecting the slow improvement of our economy.
"While we're very full and really trying to accommodate a space crunch, we actually are doing better this year in terms of the animals we're able to care for," Anderson said.
In Santa Barbara County, all three shelters are overcrowded. A committee decides which animals will be put down based on set criteria, according to Community Outreach Coordinator, Stacy Silva.
"The criteria we look at for having to make euthanasia decisions is based on several factors: the animal's sociability level with humans, the animal doesn't have any severe possession over food, treats, toys, do we have the resources to work with behavioral issues the animal may have, or is it just outright aggressive," Silva said.
The shelters says it's up to residents to get their pets spayed or neutered and microchipped, because not just pets, but also pet owners need help coping with the effects of our recession.
"To have that animal at your house, when you come home from a long day's work or you're just really tired, to have that never-ending love sitting there looking at you, wagging its tail, somebody that's always happy to see you, is a wonderful thing to have a part of your life," Silva said.
The number of animals being euthanized was up slightly in Santa Barbara County from June 2010 to this past June, with nearly 1,800 cats and dogs put down.
San Luis Obispo County tracks by calendar year. More than 1,200 animals were put down in 2010. So far this year, that number is at 522.

The Detroit Tigers had a distinct advantage in starting pitching entering the American League Division Series, and are putting it to good use. The Tigers threw the 2013 Cy Young Award favorite in a Game 1 victory and will send a former Cy Young winner to the mound in Justin Verlander when they visit the Oakland Athletics for Game 2 on Saturday. The Athletics managed just three hits in the 3-2 loss on Friday.Detroit pitching piled up 16 strikeouts between Max Scherzer, Drew Smyly and Joaquin Benoit on Friday and seemed to figure out everyone in the lineup except Yoenis Cespedes, who tripled and homered for Oakland. The Athletics dropped the first two games of the ALDS to the Tigers on the road in 2012 and came back to force a Game 5 before falling short. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera is noticeably hobbled by groin and abdominal pain and had to be removed on defense late Friday.TV: 9:07 p.m. ET, TBSPITCHING MATCHUP: Tigers RH Justin Verlander (13-12, 3.46 ERA) vs. Athletics RH Sonny Gray (5-3, 2.67)Verlander dominated in his last two starts, accumulating 12 scoreless innings while allowing nine hits and striking out 22. The 30-year-old surrendered one run and three hits over six frames at Oakland on April 13 but lost to the Athletics on Aug. 27, yielding five runs (three earned) in five innings. Verlander beat Oakland twice in the ALDS last October, allowing one run in 16 total innings.Gray earned his spot in the postseason rotation with a strong finish to his rookie campaign, going 3-1 with a 2.79 ERA in five September starts. The 23-year-old tuned up by striking out eight and scattering three hits over five scoreless innings at Seattle on Sunday. Gray surrendered two or fewer earned runs in eight of his 10 starts.WALK-OFFS1. Athletics RHP A.J. Griffin (right elbow tendinitis) could begin throwing again on Saturday in an effort to be ready for the ALCS.2. Cabrera has two extra-base hits in his last 26 games.3. Cespedes is 4-for-12 with a pair of doubles against Verlander in his career.PREDICTION: Athletics 4, Tigers 3

Spawn Bowl Game Pick 'em FINAL standings
HMBFossil: let me know what you want to do with your newly acquired space on our sidebar.
10 comments:
- GoBlueBob said...
Andy.. you are right about me already having a big dislike for Suitcase Saban the carpetbagger, even though I picked Alabama to win. As I commented last night after the game, I thought I had it locked up and then Texas throws another interception. I still thought I had it locked up because anyone else would have just taken a knee. To put another spin on this, if the Ducks could have beaten tuos, you, Mikoyan and I would have been tied at 5-0 and I would have won based on points since the fossil would have been out of it at 4-1. At least Sleazy McSweatervest is loyal to tosu, unlike Suitcase Saban. And now we have to listen to another year of how the Suck Everyones C*ck conference is so much better than all the rest.
Enough of my ranting. Congrats again to HMBFossil. My only regret in this whole contest is that T9 did not participate. - 1/08/2010 12:58 PM
- Andy said...
Apparently she is too busy with something called LIFE. Either that or she did not want to be the only girl in the contest.
Chicken. - 1/08/2010 1:13 PM
- Bigasshammm said...
Perhaps Saban realized that unless they ran the score up a little they had a good chance of not securing the AP National Championship? That is if the voters actually voted on quality and not popularity.
McCoy's NFL stock has probably plummeted after that game. I finally just saw the injury on Sportscenter and that hit looked like nothing. If he's going to get that injured from something like that then the NFL will break him like a twig. 4th round or leter for him. - 1/08/2010 1:33 PM
- phil said...
Congrats to HMB. I'm satisfied that I gave you a good run right up to the finish. And look at Whet right down at the bottom. Glad I'm not in his shoes. lllosssser.
(wv - tumshar: that's when the kettle calls the pot black) - 1/08/2010 3:26 PM
- Mikoyan said...
So let me get this straight.
Texas has 1 loss. Florida has 1 loss. Boise State has no losses. Both Florida and Texas are ahead of Boise State? I realize there is the argument that Boise State doesn't play anyone (or something) but Boise State did what they are supposed to do...which is win. Yet they get punished for that.
And with Alabama and Florida in the top three, we'll get to hear for another year about how great the SEC is. - 1/08/2010 4:26 PM
- Andy said...
The B11 got 3 teams in the top ten. Not bad. The $EC can't claim that.
- whetstonebuck said...
"And with Alabama and Florida in the top three, we'll get to hear for another year about how great the SEC is."
Not from me you won't. Those SEC SOBs can rot in Hell for all I care. (Okay, that was way too melodramatic, but you get my drift,)
The Big Ten put three in the top ten. Eat that, SEC!
wv = unniters (I doubt that) - 1/08/2010 5:28 PM
- hmbfossil said...
Thank you and "good game" to all,
My new book, "How I won the Spawn Bowl Game Pick'em, OR Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!" will be in stores soon.
And just so you don't think that I was sizing up the competition or making a calculated move,(I'm not that clever) I'll explain why my picks were last minute.
I spent Christmas to New Year's week comforting my 2 yr old twins through ear infections and pneumonia (with the requisite late night, weekend trip to the ER, of course) AND nursing my wife through a stomach flu. About 30 minutes before Sparty's bowl game, I realized (ok, I actually stood up suddenly and exclaimed Holy Crap!) that I had better make my picks.
So I did, guessed 35-21 for the BCS score to arrive at 56 and PRESTO!
Just chalk my win up to Karma rewarding me for getting through last week.
Thanks to Andy for the contest and I will e-mail you about the side bar.
wv = ioning, as in I did the ioning while my wife was sick. - 1/09/2010 1:56 AM
- whetstonebuck said...
What a trooper.
- Hemlock Philosopher said...
Congrats to HMB. Man, I thought I was in the drivers' seat on this one. UT with the ball, down 24-21 (45, I guessed 44) and 3 minutes left...

When it comes to being an author, or a singer, a guitarist or an artist, there is one thing that you absolutely must do. This top tip is the fundamental to your success. You will never achieve what you want to do, or become, if you don't follow this tip.
The problem is that it is so basic that we easily forget it. Yet, it is fundamental if we want to be creative in any medium. So what is this big, ultimate tip? The one thing that we all need?
- if you want to be a writer, you need to write.
- if you want to be an artist, you need to paint or draw
- if you want to be a guitarist you need to play the guitar
- if you want to be a singer you need to sing
- if you want to be a songwriter you need to write songs
It is the starting block of any creative venture, but so often one that is never used. We sit back and wait, we plan, we plot we dream of what might one day… but the only solution is to actually get up and do something. What ever you want to do, you need to actually do it. So close the browser, and pick up that pen, or those brushes, of that notepad, or that musical instrument and begin to create. Go and become.

Okay, as we all know, the cap that prevents Harmonix from releasing more than 5 RBN tracks per week was made by Sony. Now, Sony has a section on their blog allowing people to submit and vote on ideas for Sony to work on. I was recently reminded that I had submitted a vote to remove the cap, found here. With enough positive response, it's likely Sony will either raise or eliminate the cap.
So, please help vote so that we might have a stronger RBN on the PS3

Marketing is about investment, not accounting

Like governments throughout the world, many businesses choose a policy of austerity over growth. This is a false debate: companies need both an austerity and a growth approach to marketing investment. There is no situation that would require one and not the other.
Promotional spend is the investment needed to reach new customers — and to maintain an existing customer base. Customers are at the core of any business, so don't think of your marketing as a non-essential overhead; that could be a costly mistake.

After Kiddush by Michal David - Wall Mounted Picture

text: With the MLB trading deadline coming at the end of the month, we can expect it to not only impact the pennant races but fantasy as well. It appears that Matt Garza is all but headed to Texas for a package of prospects headlined by Mike Olt. We could see closers Kevin Gregg and Steve Cishek moved, not only impacting the situation at their new teams, but createing new roles at their old ones. With fantasy trading deadline passed, or passing, MLB trades will be the main source of impact players, along with the remaining minor league call ups.
