I, honestly, do not think they are going to fix this problem for the people who actually have it -_-'. I havn't been able to play anything since last thursday in that god forsaken public space nor my Personal UFC Apartment. Being the huge UFC fan that I am, I was looking forward to something amazing, but was left in sheer disappointment. Thanks AGAIN Sony, leaving me disappointed once more

I know this is about the apartment error but since I last posted on this topic I have had no problems with Home at all. Everything is working perfectly. In fact, I just finished getting all the rewards from the UFC space thanks to my apartment.
It can't be a server or client issue if everything is working for me.

Well it's clear the mods on here are about as sharp as spoon compared to USA forums. I have a very good friend (female avatar) who has tried deleting the UFC personal space & the script settings today (after saving to external memory just in case) & even tried using a male avatar too. It was predictably an epic failure (no data lost just didn't cure the fault), but it saved her 30 mins of technical bull from Sony UK. Tel. 08447 360 595
So after she did all that she phoned SONY, who predictably tried to dodge the proverbial bullet , but they did give her the telephone number of the UFC game makers THQ whom she rang to complain to they typically tried to blame Sony so HERE'S THQ's number too 08706 080 047
To you, to me, to you, to me, to you, to me yeah you get the picture. pass the pacel anyone?
I'm one of the lucky one's, mine works fine but I really do I feel for you guys n gals. To add insult to injury I've completed both the card game & the winners board so perhaps you could use this info to get Sony/THQ to give you all the rewards & ALL the items you pay to get for FREE AS COMPENSATION???

Firstly, the UFC personal space save file and user script settings have got absolutely nothing to do with the errors many people are receiving.
Secondly, the cause of the errors is yet to be identified and patched. THQ is responsible for finding and patching the problem and once they do they will submit the patched asset files to SCE to be published. I'm guessing the reason we have not been updated on the patch progress because there is nothing to update us on. The problem is being looked into. Once the problem is identified and a patch is created, then we will be told.
There is no point wasting SCE's or THQ's time complaining to their support divisions because there is nothing they can do about it and they have real problems to be helping people solve.
I would also like to point out that PlayStation®Home is in beta; and the terms of use policy clearly states that any modifications made may cause loss of data or content and loss of function or utility. And by agreeing to this such polity you thereby authorise all such modifications to be made and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, they are not liable for any loss of data, content, function or utility. So you can forget about getting free compensation.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
June 4, 2011 Top 100 NHL Draft Prospects 16-20
by Corey Pronman
For a description of the methodology in these rankings, including the Projected Peak and Statistical Comparables (courtesy of Iain Fyffe), please see the Introduction. We'll be revealing more of the Top 100 every few days leading up to the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Full list of Top 100 NHL Draft Prospects
16. Scott Mayfield, Defense, Youngstown-USHL
The best non-USNTDP defenseman to come out of the USHL this year comes in the form of the hulking Scott Mayfield. He's one of the toolsiest players in the entire draft and has upside that could land him on a team's first pairing, but he has a ways to go before he gets to that point. He skates at a pro level and at times touches above that, but for a 6'4", 200 lb. defenseman, his skating level is notably above-average. Mayfield can rush the puck up and stays with his checks well one-on-one and I've even seen a time where he skated the puck around the entire offensive zone, a feat you don't see normally from 6'4" defenders. His puck skills are decent, but again for his size he's notably coordinated, can handle the puck at top speeds moderately well and has a solid first pass. His low offensive counting statistics were victim of his poor team more so than his talent level. Mayfield's physical game is already above-average and projects as plus or better with a frame that still has some room to fill. At the Junior level, he towered over opposing forwards, won battles easily and didn't shy from stepping up into his checks, although he didn't throw his body around recklessly. His hockey sense is on and off, and strangely for a young prospect, it was his defensive game that is advanced and his offensive decisions that need work. Mayfield plays his assignments well one-on-one, closes gaps efficiently, and boxes out the front of the net well. However with the puck, he sometimes tries to do too much, be it rushing the puck up when he should make the safe play, trying an unnecessary stretch pass or holding onto the puck too long. If his offensive game takes the next step, Mayfield could possibly be one of the top defenseman prospects to come out of this draft class.
Projected Peak GVT: 1.4
Statistical Comparable: Jassen Cullimore
Ranking Explanation: It should be obvious after checking Mayfield's stat line and Projected Peak GVT that this ranking is tools-based rather than statistical. Mayfield is a tremendous physical package who doesn't really have weaknesses that drag his value down, but no major puck-possession skills that take him to the next tier. In comparing him to Jonas Brodin, Brodin blows him away in the possession game as he thinks the game at a very high level and moves the puck well. He's a tad better of a skater, but the difference between the two physically just took all those possession skills and the mobility edge and made it practically a draw. I gave Mayfield the edge just because in a close evaluation between the same position the fact he has a higher upside makes him more desirable. The Goals Versus Salary/value difference between a slightly above-average defender (Brodin's likely projection although he could top out as better) and Mayfield's possible ceiling is significant enough to push him over when you factor in the fact Mayfield doesn't have a ton of risk/weaknesses and only room to improve.
17. Jonas Brodin, Defense, Farjestad-SEL
In a class that boasts a prospect as high-end as Adam Larsson, Jonas Brodin is the smartest defenseman coming out of Sweden in this draft. Brodin is a true plus thinker on the ice, consistently making advanced reads on defense, and showing good poise with the puck and executing calm, quick breakouts. While he isn't a good stick-handler by any means, and if anything I'd grade that tool as a 40, his puck-moving skills are above-average. He consistently shows the ability to execute crisp, accurate passes and can execute well on lengthy attempts. Brodin also is a solid to above-average skater, with a great first step that can close on his assignments quickly. Brodin is very conservative in nature though in how he approaches the game. Despite the fact he has the speed to rush the puck up, he doesn't attempt to do so. In regards to his physical game, he isn't physical involved much although it isn't exactly never, but with a skinny frame and a need for strength, that tool at the moment grades as fringe. Brodin has never wowed in the counting statistics department and won't be a flashy offensive player, but is definitely a defender who can influence the possession game and log big minutes in all situations.
Projected Peak GVT: 5.8
Statistical Comparable: Henrik Tallinder
Ranking Explanation: Brodin may not be a well-rounded prospect or one who excited with impressive offensive tools, but his high-end combination of intelligence and puck-moving ability make him more than deserving of this ranking. In comparing Brodin to Bartschi, it was a defenseman who primarily got his value through the possession game and a forward who had a good all-around skill set minus the physical game. The possession games were about a pushBartschi is better with the puck, but Brodin's hockey IQ is a level higher than Bartschi's. They both skate at about an equivalent levelBartschi is slightly better, but due to how close most of their skills are, the difference in physical tools made an impact in the evaluation despite the fact that Brodin isn't particularly good in that area and Bartschi is well below-average. Bartschi's shot tool is impressive and that was a possible argument for him, but as discussed with Armia, I'm skeptical of a player's whose value is derived from mid-distance scoring, and since we're still dealing with above-average skill sets, the positional market gap still exists as well in a close debate.
18. Sven Bartschi, Left Wing, Portland-WHL
Sven Bartschi was one of this year's biggest risers with his performance for the WHL powerhouse Portland Winterhawks. He shows several desirable tools, especially in the finesse department. Sven is a solid skater who can get to full speed very quickly and while his top speed is good and he has turned around several WHL defenders, he doesn't consistently maintain an above-average level. His agility is good and he can really make people miss, be it from a standstill or while rushing the puck up the ice. Bartschi has very loose hands that allow him to make rapid moves with the puck and his while I grade his puck skills as above-average, he does flash ability beyond that. His wrist and slap shots are both desirable weapons, the latter of which flashes plus velocity and he can consistently score from beyond the crease area. His physical game is fringe but does show a notable work ethic along the walls but at the moment is nowhere near strong enough to be an effective physical pro. In regards to his hockey IQ, Sven is regularly trusted with PK duties due to his good anticipation, positioning and stick work. Offensively, he has good vision with the puck, although there are times he tries to go beyond his means with the stick-handling. The skill set is there for him to be a scoring forward with most tools being above-average or around that if he can overcome the physical hurdle which at this point is below fringe level.
Projected Peak GVT: 6.7
Statistical Comparable: Oleg Saprykin
Ranking Explanation: Bartschi is a forward who has displayed a lot of above-average tool , but unlike the other forwards towards the top of this list who I've said similar things about, the major difference is he has one major hole. In comparing him to Kucherov, they are actually pretty similar in terms of overall skill sets. Both players possess the puck at about the same level, skate at an above-average level, shoot well, have good intangibles, and are weak in the physical game. I had Bartschi as a small edge in a couple of categories over Kucherov and that ultimately is what decided it, as this was a pretty close matchup.
19. Nikita Kucherov, Left Wing, CSKA-MHL
Nikita Kucherov was the draft's best kept secret until the Under-18's, and those who've followed Kucherov over in Russia's Junior league have long known about the potential he has. He's an above-average skater, with good mechanics and quick, rapid strides. His puck skills grade as above-average as well, but not really in the stick-handling department as that aspect is barely average. Kucherov makes his play on the puck by the way of his passing skills, which sits comfortably as a 55 grade tool, but can flash 60. His finishing ability also grades as above-average. Kucherov has shown the ability to wrist goals from mid-distance, find and knock in loose pucks from close in and has a hard one-timer that he likes to unleash from the circles. His physical game at the moment is below fringe level, just because he's a short guy with a frame that is very thin and lacks strength, but his work ethic is good enough that when he grows, the tool can get to fringe. Kucherov frequently goes to the front of the net, at times spending entire power plays there, shows decent ability pressuring on the forecheck and will battle for the puck, but is easily overwhelmed by bigger players. He's a smart player who thinks the game at a solid to 55 grade level. His offensive smarts are seen in his patience and vision with the puck and anticipation of the play, and defensively he shows average ability, with the fact his combination of skating and work ethic let him fly up and down the ice help him stay on his check well. His intangibles are also quite notable and his coach noticed that, naming him the Captain of a team with plenty of 19, 20 and 21 year olds at the age of 17. Kucherov has the ability to play a plethora of roles, and once he bulks up, he's advanced enough to make the transition to the highest level pretty soon.
Projected Peak GVT: 8.9
Statistical Comparable: Andrei Kovalenko
Ranking Explanation: Just so I can get this out of the way, this high ranking is not because of Kucherov's statistical performance in a short-sample tournament at the Under-18's. I have been high on him for most of the draft season and that tournament was more reassurance than a mind-changer. His statistical performance in Russia over the last two years was of more importance, so much that the Projectionator actually had him as the seventh-best player in the entire draft class based on that data. His skill set is very good and while I'm not sure on the whole "Russian" situation, this ranking is talent-based and not taking into account signability based on the case by case factor. In regards to comparing Kucherov to Jaskin, I had Kucherov as a slightly better puck possessor, which is testament to the kind of skill set Jaskin has as well. Jaskin's main claim to go over Kucherov was the worlds apart they are physically, but when I account for the fact Kucherov is an above-average skater while Jaskin is about fringe grade and he's a better scorer that gap closed. The fact that Kucherov has a higher upside helped the decision as well in a close debate.
20. Dmitrij Jaskin, Right Wing, HC Slavia Praha-Czech Extraliga
Dmitrij Jaskin has gone under the radar this draft season due to playing in the Czech Republic all year and not making an international appearance until the Under-18's due to injury, but make no mistake that this is a prospect who should be on everybody's radars. Jaskin is a very well-rounded prospect and one who projects well down the line. Coming in over six feet tall and with a well filled out 200 pound frame, Jaskin's physical game projects as above-average and may even touch plus when he's physically matured. He brings it every shift and makes like hectic on opposing defenders with hard checks along the wall, planting himself firmly in front of the goalie's field of vision, and a solid puck protector who loves to stiff arm and drive the play to the net. He has solid puck skills that are above-average for a forward his size and while he isn't a flashy player, he is capable of doing pro-level stick-handling and he can come off the half-wall on the power play and distribute. Jaskin had a hard shot which he doesn't refrain from using and has multiple weapons in his wrist shot and slap shot. His hockey sense is solid as well, especially from a defensive perspective which is aided as well by the fact he shows a notable work ethic in his own end and on the backcheck. His only liability is his skating tool which grades as fringe to below-average, although there's nothing mechanically wrong that I've noticed and it does look fixable to an extent.
Projected Peak GVT: 4.0
Statistical Comparable: Milan Kraft
Ranking Explanation: Despite the fact he's ranked 20th, one should not be mistaken in how good a prospect I think Jaskin is. If it wasn't for his skating, he would have soared up these rankings as his skills are notably well-rounded beyond that one area and he's a great physical specimen. In comparing Jaskin to Rattie, I had Rattie's puck possession skills as only slightly better. While Rattie is a plus puck-handler and significantly better than Jaskin, I have Jaskin as a grade better than Rattie in hockey sense. Like in the Jaskin vs. Kucherov evaluation, this small gap in possession skill by widened by the gap in skating. However, the difference this time is the fact I have Rattie as a slightly worse skater than Kucherov and a worse goal-scorer. With that in mind, I have Jaskin as better in regards to skill set, and when I throw in his tremendous on-ice work ethic and intangibles, it makes the decision clear.

My stay at Premier inn was very good . Check inn was super easy ... I arrived at at 1045 and checked inn within 15 mins of my arrival.The hotel is very... clean and the staff very friendly. The hotel is a bit far away from most areas but the hotel has a shuttle service which runs through out the day dropping and picking guest from major attractions like Jumeira Beach , Dubai Mall , Mall of the Emirates etc. The breakfast was also delicious with a variety of foods and is reasonably priced at about US$17.00 来自 Harare 的 Yemurayi Mhishi 于 2013-12-01 发表点评


text: Not many choices in town. Kitimat Lodge is not hotel quality but still one of the best choices in town. I stayed on a cabin which I found overpriced at CAD 133.00/Night. The cabins have a kitchenette with fridge and stove. There are some old pans and all sort mismatched dishes and glasses. It was clean which is a plus.... More

Reading between the lines
The packed commuter train is such an anti-social environment. Putting the avoidance of eye contact to one side, one used to be able to get a crude, stereotypical take on what other people in the carriage were like by the newspaper, magazine or book they were reading. But with the anonymous array of mobile devices to hand, individuals just morph into a colourless crowd.
Based on a very biased sample of train carriage commuters travelling in to London from the Home Counties, there is an awful lot of electronic reading on mobile devices. I would say 40% on my journey today were reading books, newspapers or magazines on their e-readers or tablets, others (let's say 25%) were either playing games or catching up on e-mail or social media on their phones. Another 30% or so were reading a printed newspaper, magazine or book. The rest were asleep. No one was talking.
The national picture, of course, is quite different. According to the NRS Oct-Dec 2011 figures, 13% of adults aged 15+ have used a tablet or e-reader in the last 12 months; the Q1 2012 Ipsos Technology Tracker has tablet ownership now at 9%, so growing but still relatively niche. 61% of adults have read an average issue of any printed national or large regional newspaper and 75% for magazines (NRS). Most of us are awake and everyone talks.
Whilst declining circulations and readership for newspapers and magazines are widely and regularly reported, we should not forget that they still have significant coverage; yet reading on digital devices is still relatively small even if it is growing. One in ten (9%) have viewed a newspaper or magazine via tablet, e-reader or app in the last 12 months (NRS Oct-Dec 2011). In combination, however, the coverage is very strong. Nearly 80 percent of Canadians read a print and/or online version of a daily newspaper. Over here, the NRS will be launching their Print and Digital Data (PADD) this year where UKOM online readership data are fused with NRS print readership.
I must confess that on my daily commute, I might vary some tablet newspaper readership with a paperback novel whilst passing judgements on my fellow commuters based on which brand and version of mobile device they are holding…before I fall asleep.

Isn't the game supposed to be fun at some level?
Now this may be a gross over-simplification (it's kind of what we do) and a bit of a rush to judgement (another thing we do far too often) but one thing struck me watching the Heat these past few nights.
They don't seem to have a lot of fun playing the games.
I don't mean giggling and laughing and not taking things seriously; I mean just the way they handle themselves.
Now, I don't know that it's all that important that joy comes through publicly, it's tremendously hard to win games and the intensity you need to compete doesn't lend itself to smiles and giggles, but I do think the better teams consistently look like they are truly enjoying themselves out there.
Perhaps it is a reaction to two seasons of being hammered almost all the time by fans and some media, of hearing how evil they are and how they somehow jilted the rightful order of the world when they got together; or maybe the Heat are just more businesslike because of their age and the experiences they've had.
But just watch things like facial expressions, body language, how they react to each other and the game. Even when they were winning early and into the third quarter, you didn't get the impression the Heat were particularly enjoying themselves.
Far too often it looks like it's a chore to some degree rather than fun, and while it's not the make-it-or-break-it trait for a team, I do think it translates a little bit into "how" they play as well.
I guess it hit me hardest sometime in the second half of Game 1, it simply looked like Oklahoma City, despite trailing most of the night, seemed to be enjoying themselves more.
Bit a bigger bounce in their step, a bit more enthusiasm at the end of plays, more smiles to some degree.
It won't be the thing that decides the series – and this series still has a tremendous amount of basketball yet to be played and to count Miami out is folly – but it might be something you want to look at.
A penguin one day, this the next.
Who knows what's around the next OKC corner.
A somewhat ho-hum day of workouts yesterday, I'm told; no one jumped out as some rotation-busting must-have draft pick and today is Canada Day to some degree.
Montreal's Kris Joseph and Vancouver's Robert Sacre are in; not sure either is someone they're seriously looking at (Joseph more than Sacre if they are; he's more athletic, and scouts think he's got more room for skill development) but it'll be good for them to be seen.
I have a Joseph interview somewhere in my notebook from last week in Chicago; guess I have something else to work on this morning.
I think "booked for dissent" is now my new favourite sports phrase and should be adapted by all professional leagues.
Either that or steals in the NBA should now be called "dispossessions."
I tell you, soccer does play by play like few other sports, doesn't it?
I know it's not nearly as lyrical as baseball or frenetic as basketball or hockey but it's fun to listen to a guy do a game.
(Can you call how I've been killing time since Euro2012 began?)
Okay, I just don't get Erik Spoelstra.
This whole "will Bosh start" stuff is getting a little ridiculous by the way he's obfuscating every day about what he might do.
Look, I can see if a coach is worried about giving a competitive secret away, that's a bit over-reactive but it's what coaches do and we all learn to live with it.
But for Spoelstra, it's just the opposite and he fully admitted it before Game 1.
"I'd be willing to tell Oklahoma City. I don't think it's a competitive advantage … just one of the few times that hopefully we can control a little bit of the noise out there, we don't have to get into the debate about the pluses or minuses about it before the game. The guys can just focus in, get into their iPads and focus on the game."
Come on!
How silly is that.
You have to realize he said this about 80 minutes before tip-off in the main press room, there was hardly enough time for us to go charging off to the Heat locker room to converge on Shane Battier to tell pester him about losing his job and, besides, if we did, he'd probably say "um, yeah, okay; he's better than I am."
And that's not even taking into consideration the fact that the players – any players – disappear before the game for the precise reason that they don't really want to talk to us.
Spoelstra may be a good coach – it's debatable – and it can't be easy to handle that group of players and the attention – but that's just a guy taking himself, and a benign situation – far too seriously.
Maybe this "Heat needs to have more fun" thing starts at the top.
Tough call, need some help.
If I get done in time and find a stool, do I watch Strasburg-Drabek from the ballyard or Netherlands-Germany from the football?
What would you do?
Okay, folks, here's the deal: Game days are a bit slow, especially here in OKC, and Friday's a bit of a bear of a travel day so I'm going to have to start the weekend mail early.
As in Thursday afternoon sometime so let's get going, shall we?
Time to catch up a bit with Canada because it's that time of year.
The women's national team split two games in Britain on the weekend, losing the first and winning the second, and that's not entirely surprising because it's always hard to win that first game in Europe after some arduous travel.
They're off to France now for another series of exhibitions before the Olympic qualifier starts in 10 days or so and as coach Allison McNeill said to us they day they left, it's vitally important that Canada Basketball got them over there early so they could get acclimated to the time, get over the physical toll travel takes and get re-acquainted with the European style of the women's game.
The results of these games really don't matter; it's making sure they're getting better consistently, remembering what it takes to compete over there and being ready when the big tourney finally starts.
On the men's side, and we're really giving this short shrift today because I need something to use here tomorrow or Friday, the Cadet team (under 17) is about to start camp as it gets ready for the world championships that begin later this month in Lithuania and the Junior team (under 19) is off the FIBA Americas qualification tournament in Brazil.
There, you're caught up a bit.

Several of Oklahoma's political leaders and higher education officials have said they would like to see an increase in the number of college graduates. Regardless of whether this is wise policy, we're still left with the problem of affordability.
Perhaps we can learn something from Texas. Lara Seligman reports in the National Journal ("Does Texas Have an Answer to Sky-High Tuition?") that "Texas is experimenting with an initiative to help students and families struggling with sky-high college costs: a bachelor's degree for $10,000, including tuition, fees, and even textbooks." We're not talking $10,000 a year, mind you -- this is $10,000 total.
"Under a plan he unveiled in 2011, Republican Gov. Rick Perry has called on institutions in his state to develop options for low-cost undergraduate degrees. The idea was greeted with skepticism at first, but, lately, it seems to be gaining traction. If it yields success, it could prompt other states to explore similar, more innovative ways to cut the cost of education."
So far 10 institutions in Texas have answered Gov. Perry's call. Here's hoping Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin will issue the same challenge.
Granted, some may be skeptical about the quality of a $10,000 degree. Fair enough. That's why Oklahoma should require institutions granting $10,000 degrees to administer the Collegiate Learning Assessment -- a standardized test praised by Microsoft chairman Bill Gates and others -- during students' freshman and senior years and publish the scores on their official transcripts.
Matter of fact, ahem, while we're at it, Oklahoma should require the same for its degree-granting institutions right now. For as law professor (and Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs distinguished fellow) Andrew Spiropoulos has dared to point out, "Spending and tuition have dramatically escalated while measurable student achievement has remained flat or even declined. The publication of the landmark academic study Academically Adrift empirically documenting that students only show marginal improvement in their intellectual skills after attending college has forced all of us in the business to reexamine what we do."
Well, maybe not all of them in the business. Some in the higher education establishment are dubious of the $10,000 degree, and they certainly want no part of the Collegiate Learning Assessment.
This is not surprising. Writing recently in National Review, Jonah Goldberg reminded us of Egon Krenz, the last Communist leader of East Germany: "He was an unremarkable apparatchik who had the bad luck to be in charge when the whole totalitarian glockenspiel went kaput. A product of the institutions he served in, Krenz was incapable of understanding the unsustainability of the system that produced him. Like all such creatures, he believed that the solution to the problem was doubling down on the problem."
Even as credible voices point to the unsustainability of the current higher education system (Sal Khan posits that in five years "the learning side will be free"), Oklahoma's higher education establishment is calling for -- you guessed it -- more money. It's as if many of them are not fully coming to terms with what Heritage Foundation fellow Lindsey Burke calls "the revolution at their doorsteps."
There are exceptions. Hats off to Oklahoma State University president Burns Hargis, a former banker who recognizes the potential for increased productivity in higher education. "We need to do more, better and cheaper," he said.
A $10,000 bachelor's degree is one way to do it. Florida Gov. Rick Scott is the latest governor to challenge his state colleges to develop them. Gov. Mary Fallin could show visionary leadership -- and do a great service to Oklahoma students and their parents -- by doing the same.

Microsoft Corp. today announced the availability of the Windows Upgrade Offer for consumers purchasing a qualifying new Windows 7 PC. The Windows Upgrade Offer provides consumers who buy an eligible Windows 7 PC the option to purchase a downloadable upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for an estimated retail price of just $14.99 (U.S.) during the time of the promotion, which will be redeemable when Windows 8 is generally available. The Windows Upgrade Offer is just the first of many consumer offers that will roll out in conjunction with the general availability of Windows 8. "We've seen a great interest in Windows 8, especially given the availability of the Windows 8 Release Preview this week, and yet we know many consumers want a new PC now," said Tami Reller, chief marketing officer and chief financial officer of Windows at Microsoft. "The Windows Upgrade Offer gives people the flexibility to purchase the new Windows 7 PC they need today, with the knowledge they can easily get Windows 8 when it's available." This program begins tomorrow in 131 markets including the U.S. and Canada and is available for consumers buying new Windows 7 PCs that are preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate and include a matching and valid OEM Certificate of Authenticity. The Windows 7 PC must be purchased new during the eligibility period June 2, 2012–Jan. 31, 2013, and redeemed before the program expiration at the end of February 2013. Consumers who register for the Windows Upgrade Offer will be able to download Windows 8 starting the day it is made available generally. The upgrade can be installed on any eligible and compatible Windows PC and comes with 90 days of support from Microsoft. More information on taking advantage of the Windows Upgrade Offer can be found here.
Lame... Bought a new laptop a week ago, so it looks like I'm ineligible! Doubt AutoCAD would work properly on Win8 right off the bat anyways.
They better extend that offer to all Windows 7 owners...and Vista too for that matter. If there's a way to in-place upgrade, it should be available. It's more money in Microsoft's pocket and will speed up getting old operating systems out of usage statistics.
Ugh, why pre-installed? I'm going to buy a Win 7 next week, but since I'm building the system myself it won't be pre-installed.
I don't think "preinstalled" is the key here. Because, you can always ask for your retailer to sell you and OEM version (he could, really ). That way, I think, this promo would work for you as well. But keep in mind it's an OEM, so there is no license transfer to an eventual new machine.
Why the hell i can't run the damn thing inside VMWare Player!? If i install under Win7 it's not working and if i pick Other 64bit, it ends up with some error during installation. Weird...
"System Builder" COA legally must be pre-installed. So if you're buying COA, you are technically the system builder so it is technically pre-installed.
this was unofficially announced a month ago return yours to the store & buy again cuz the customer isnt exactly paying for the OS when they buy a computer, now MS can get $15 from all these customers
I believe they know Windows 8 is not going to be the best-seller they had hoped. You should listen to your customers, Microsoft, rather than the yes-men 'focus groups' you hire...
I'm buying a Microsoft Technet subscription in a month or so,…. No need to buy an upgrade or full OS.
Guess I will try it when it hits MSDNAA or whatever they renamed it to... doubt I will replace win7 with it though.
Had that problem with that first release back in .. September was it? It worked in Workstation though, and I think Virtualbox could do it as well..
Even if I qualified, they aren't getting my $15 unless they give me the start menu back. That new Metro start page kills my productivity. Extra clicks for everything.

A new study reveals that the Bush administration is succeeding beyond the most optimistic projections of supporters -- and the most pessimistic fears of critics -- in funneling government social service dollars to religious groups, despite the refusal of Congress to pass most of its faith-based initiative.

2011 MINI Cars
The MINI Cooper might be the UK's most iconic export, but the MINI brand is currently owned by German luxury car maker BMW. With their Cooper, Clubman, Coupe, Cabriolet, Paceman and Countryman small cars, MINI offers a little something for everyone.
MINI re-introduced their vehicles in the United States in 2002 after a decades long absence, and received a warm reception from consumers and critics alike. A more powerful Cooper S was also available, followed by a convertible in 2005. An extended length version, dubbed the Clubman arrived in 2008. A four-door version, known as the Countryman, arrived in late 2010 offering a more practical alternative, and all-wheel drive.

Well-rounded case fanPros: This seems to be right in the perfect sweet spot for price, performance, and noise in terms of 120mm case fans. Cons: I don't really like the aesthetics of the red blades -- I would prefer black. Other Thoughts: Not too much else to say about a simple 120mm case fan, but if I ever need more I will definitely look at this one first. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Okay Fan.Pros: I bought this fan a little over a year ago to replace the same model fan in my PC. It was replacing my rear exhaust fan that had started to make noise when it was spinning, at first it was a very quiet whine but after a few days it became really loud and grated on my ears so I ordered a new fan of the same make and model. Both fans were very quiet and did their jobs while they worked and I had no issues with them other than the fact that the new fan also started to have the same issue just recently. Cons: About a week ago the replacement fan I had ordered a little over a year back started to give out and make the same annoying whine the first fan made before it died. Maybe I just got really unlucky with these two fans but every other fan that is in my two computers, all of which are silverstone fans Did you find this review helpful? |
It's a fanPros: Fantastic fan, I will watch for more of these. Still going strong, quietly, 2 years later. Love it. Comes apart for cleaning. Already outlasted the 'brand name' $$$$ one it replaced. Cons: Could have been a bit less expensive Did you find this review helpful? |
Very DecentPros: *Very Quiet Cons: *Not a single issue in just over 2 years. Other Thoughts: I bought a Magma fan in January 2011 from my local computer store as a case exhaust, the one I just purchased from here is my second and I now have them in a push/pull configuration on my Antec KUHLER H2O 620 CPU Cooler. Did you find this review helpful? |
No warrantyPros: Decent noise to air flow ratio Cons: Initially purchased two fans and those did well for 3 months so I purchased two more at my local brick & mortar store as they had a sale for $8.99 each. One of the new fans died after 2 weeks, the second fan died after 6 weeks. The original two are now beginning to make noise. Tried to check the enermax web site for support and I get all kinds of malicious web site errors. The original packaging says nothing about warranty support. Other Thoughts: Time to buy 6 more fans...... Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
not badPros: the fan blades ARE removable. Cons: the included rubber pin fasteners broke. Other Thoughts: didn't really think that after the rubber pins broke that it called for any egg deduction as they didn't really effect the performance or reduce much noise. they did however reduce vibration to the case. but wile installing them they must be stretched and 2 of them broke. Did you find this review helpful? |
YES.Pros: Tried many many fans, finally satisfied. Good noise to flow ratio. Good price! Cons: None. Other Thoughts: I was worried I wouldn't be happy with the noise levels unless I spent the 25 bucks for a Noctua fan, but these cut the mustard. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very quiet till it failePros: Very quiet, great airflow, easy to install as a case fan. Cons: No cons. Other Thoughts: It started making a bit of noise recently (failing) after about a year and a half in continuous use. I will replace it with the same. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
QuietPros: Very quiet. The loudest fan on my system is now the CPU fan. The only noise you hear is the soft whoosh of air as the fan operates, and that can only be heard when you place your ear next to the case. Fan blades are removable and easy to clean. Cons: These fans don't move as much air as my old fans, but that's to be expected. Other Thoughts: Hopefully these won't fail quickly. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: Moves lots of air. Cons: I found this fan to be rather noisy. I also had trouble with the rubber mounts. I broke two trying to pull them through the holes on my case. I ended up having to use screws which of course could account for some of the noise. Other Thoughts: If you need to move a lot of air this fan works well. If you are looking for silence, try a Nexus fan. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner
Eastern District of California
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Wednesday, June 6, 2012 |
Docket #: 2:11-CR-00534 LKK |
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Daniel James Harden, 23, of Tracy, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to receiving child pornography, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Sacramento Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. The Sacramento ICAC is a federally and state funded task force managed by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department with federal, state, and local agents. It investigates online child exploitation crimes, including child pornography, enticement, and sex trafficking. Assistant United States Attorney Kyle Reardon is prosecuting the case.
According to court documents, in March 2011, detectives with the Walnut Creek Police Department working online observed a computer in Antioch offering files of child pornography through the Internet. This computer belonged to Harden. Walnut Creek detectives successfully connected to Harden's computer through the file-sharing network and downloaded four files of child pornography.
Harden later moved to Tracy. In May 2011, law enforcement agents in Sacramento identified Harden's computer offering files of child pornography through an Internet file-sharing service. Law enforcement established a direct connection with Harden's computer and successfully downloaded 10 images of child pornography from it.
On June 1, 2011, law enforcement searched Harden's residence and found the computer and an external hard drive that contained child pornography. These files included images of prepubescent girls having sex with adult men, as well as scenes of sadistic and masochistic conduct involving prepubescent girls. Forensic evidence from the computer and hard drive also showed that he had uploaded images of child pornography to a Russian photo-sharing site.
Harden is scheduled to be sentenced by United States District Judge Lawrence K. Karlton on August 28, 2012, at 9:15 a.m. The statutory penalty for this violation is five to 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and a lifetime term of supervised release. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) in the Justice Department's Criminal Division, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children as well as to identify and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov or call the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of California and ask to speak with the PSC coordinator.

Food catapult!

About Me First Time Parent
Comments about Tommee Tippee 1017092 Tommee Tippee First Weaning Spoons 2pk - Turquiose/Lime Green:
I really want to like these spoons - they're so soft and seem like they'd be great for a new eater. But they're a little too soft and flexible! My son grabs at everything, so naturally he grabs at this spoon, but then his hand slips off, and the food goes flying. I find bits of banana 5 feet from where he sits! Like I said, I really want to like these, but I don't have the time to search my entire dining room for food particles!

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
Teaching a baby how to eat is quiet a challenging task and ( for me) this spoon is not helpful at all.My baby is learning how to grab things, so every time im feeding him cereal, he tries to grab the spoon making food fly all over because its flexibility, making a bigger. I think it was a good invention, but they should have made a little harder.
LOVE this product!!!

"Lost signal at least once a day."
1.0 starson by jerryone1942Pros: Worked great most of the time.
Cons: Would drop signal for about ten minutes sometimes three or four times a day. Terrible tech support.
Summary: Spent three and a half hours in four different phone calls to tech support. Tech support used most of their time trying to sell me more tech support for $169 per year. When my 90 days free support expired and my router was still not working, they would not help me unless I paid for more support even though I had two open cases going.
I scrapped the Netgear router and purchased a ASUS RT-AC66U router and it works great.

B A+F Off-Campus Housing: Way cheaper than living on campus!! Saves money!!
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: I do not live off campus at this point in time, but I do have family and friends that do. Almost all of the apartment complexes in the area near the school are all for college students. Rent is average which is good for students, the quality of the apartments are good, and the variety and room for creativeness is wonderful. All students love the off campus living communities. All in all our off campus living is by far a very safe and humble environment for college students.
Off-Campus Housing: I do not know much about the off-campus housing because you much be at least a sophomore in college or have a number of completed hours in order to live off-campus.
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: The best thing that ever happened
C A+F Off-Campus Housing: I have not lived off campus so my opinion is less than relavent. but I do hear alot of friends admitting that living off campus saves much more money so i am very interested to try something new

San Angelo is a college town, military town, and retirement town. Because of this, there are many apartment complexes. The standard of living in San Angelo is lower than that of the rest of the state, with a one-bedroom apartment running around $550 a month. This is a bit expensive for a college student, but only marginally more expensive than living in the dorms. The saying "you get what you pay for" can apply easily to housing in San Angelo. To have a nice place, a student might have to cough up a hefty price.
A popular choice is to rent a house with friends and split costs two to three ways. Students have to deal with roommates but receive quite a bit of freedom in the process. This can be riskier because of possible difficulties with unreliable roommates that leave one or two left picking up the slack. For that reason, student housing like Angelo Place and The Grove is another popular choice. Because they rent out by the bed, an unreliable roomate will be kicked out without the others needing to pick up the slack. The majority of tenants are college upperclassmen, and it is a popular and social living space. However, with a large population of college students, parties also occur with great frequency.

Times they are a changin' at the Daily News
In the past few days, you may have noticed the absence of some names and the addition of others on the pages of the Newton Daily News. So, I thought I should perhaps explain what's going on.
Basically, it's called change.
The first big change you may have noticed was the name "Amy Martens" showing up on our pages. Prior to a couple of weeks ago, you would have known her as "Amy Gronauer," but she went and got herself married, hence the new name showing up in the paper.

Ultra-Tangibles: Creating Movable Tangible Objects on Interactive Tables
Mark Marshall, Thomas Carter, Jason Alexander, Sriram Subramanian, Ultra-Tangibles: Creating Movable Tangible Objects on Interactive Tables. Proceedings of the 30th International Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2012). May 2012. PDF, 514 Kbytes. External informationAbstract
Tangible objects placed on interactive surfaces allow users to employ a physical object to manipulate digital content. However, creating the reverse effect—having digital content manipulate a tangible object placed on the surface—is a more challenging task. We present a new approach to this problem, using ultrasound-based air pressure waves to move multiple tangible objects, independently, around an interactive surface. We describe the technical background, design, implementation, and test cases for such a system. We conclude by discussing practical uses of our system, Ultra-Tangibles, in the creation of new tangible user interfaces.

I like this! It's awesome! Sadly I have no team/no time to join in such anymore (gf and work and all that jazz), but it's good to see some stuff for us non-pros as well.
On topic with the smurfs: Why would people ruin a thing that is only good for the growth of new teams just for some easy gold coins? I mean, you all complain about a comp scene that is "dying" and such, why would you not want more tournaments like these to stimulate growth and help emergence of new teams to rise into the comp scene?
I'll try and put together a team from my clan. Should be fun even if we do get stomped.

WASHINGTON—Chief Justice John Roberts, acknowledging the "fiscal cliff," again avoided lobbying for a judicial pay raise in his annual report on the U.S. court system but sought to defend the courts against future cutbacks.
Chief Justice John Roberts argues the courts don't deserve to be cut. Houston Chronicle/Associated Press
In prior years, Chief Justice Roberts has used his Year-End Report, the closest he comes to a State of the Union address, to advocate higher pay for federal judges. That sometimes drew criticism because federal judges, while earning considerably less than partners at big-city law firms, are among the best-paid civil servants and enjoy lifetime job security.
This year, the chief justice again called on the president and Senate to fill longstanding vacancies on the federal bench. And he explicitly acknowledged "the much publicized 'fiscal cliff'" consuming the executive and legislative branches, as well as "the longer term problem of a truly extravagant and burgeoning national debt."
Rather than seek a bigger slice of the pie, the chief justice, who serves as administrative head of the federal judiciary in addition to presiding over the Supreme Court, argued that the judicial system already offers Americans good value and doesn't deserve to be cut.
Rather than seek a bigger slice of the pie, the chief justice argued that the judicial system already offers Americans good value and doesn't deserve to be cut.
Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, said the "report is short on specifics" about the budget cuts facing the courts if Congress doesn't act to forestall a package of spending cuts set to take effect in the New Year if a deal isn't approved.
The Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D., Vt.), was less critical. The chief justice, Mr. Leahy said, "chose to focus much of his attention on cost-saving measures by the federal courts, and he rightly calls on the other two branches to support the judiciary with needed resources so that the justice system can work for all Americans."
The federal judicial branch, from probation officers to Supreme Court justices, consumes "a minuscule portion of the federal budget," Chief Justice Roberts wrote: $6.97 billion out of $3.7 trillion.
The judiciary has been saving on rent, the report says, by consolidating offices for judicial personnel in courthouses rather than leasing overflow space and by shifting to digital library collections.
Other measures under consideration include sharing resources between the separate trial and bankruptcy court systems within some judicial districts.
Alex Kozinski, chief judge of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, right, has defended a controversial circuit-court conference in Hawaii. Bloomberg News
"Because the Judiciary has already pursued cost-containment so aggressively, it will become increasingly difficult to economize further without reducing the quality of judicial services," the chief justice wrote.
The Chief Justice was silent regarding criticism from Senate Republicans over what they consider excesses in the judiciary's travel and entertainment expenses.
Last summer, Mr. Grassley and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) lambasted judicial spending after learning the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals planned to go to Hawaii for its annual conference.
The senators said the conference, which gathers judges, attorneys and support personnel from throughout the nine-state circuit, would cost taxpayers more than $1 million.
The San Francisco-based circuit's chief judge, Alex Kozinski, defended the conference as providing "an exceptional educational opportunity" for legal practitioners that followed federal travel guidelines.
In November, Mr. Grassley followed up with a letter to the Judicial Conference, the administrative arm of the courts headed by Chief Justice Roberts.
In it, he complained about "the significant amount of court funding spent on non-case related travel," and cited several examples he said appeared unjustified, including $25,000 for "an employee spa weekend" by the federal public defender's office for the Sacramento, Calif.-based Eastern District of California.
"If spending on items of this nature were curtailed, the savings could go a long way," Mr. Grassley wrote.
The secretary of the Judicial Conference, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan, replied that "travel is of course one area of consideration for cost reduction, including funding for circuit judicial conferences." But Judge Hogan added such expenditures themselves are a small part of the judiciary budget.
Chief Justice Roberts's report also summarized the federal judiciary's workload over 2012. While civil appeals fell by 1%, criminal appeals grew 12%.
