I have not read the article about Twin Peaks... However, the name itself, like Hooters, suggests a type of place that objectifies women. This is a recurring theme in our "modern women's lib" world that SHOULD be appalling to all women, and yet most of them embrace it under "I got it, so I will flaunt it" mentality.
No one seems to catch the irony of this.
Men or women- it does not matter, the complete lack of respect for women (beyond their physical attributes) trickles down to our daughters- but again, in today's society with VS now targeting teens with provacative undies, the introduction of an eatery that caters to the same is not that surprising.
Morality is now something to be ashamed of. Choosing to point out the obvious ugliness of a place like Twin Peaks is something better left unsaid.
I do have to point out though- Twin Peaks is not the first in San Angelo to flaunt their female waitstaff like cheap bimbos- most of the other "bar and grill" type restaurants have all adopted this for their girls as well. Its shameful. Frankly, I am embarrassed to walk into an establishment and see a high school girl or college girl that I know baring as much as possible just for the promise of a good tip (and God only knows what else.)
They won't be getting my business, but I doubt that will harm them. Getting young women to take pride in their appearance is something that needs to be taught at home. Getting men to respect it needs to be taught at home. Until that happens, young women will "flaunt it" and men of all ages will ogle it.

For most of the time WinExtra has been around and accepting comments from our readers I have used the default commenting system with a slight modification to allow for the comments to appear in a threaded manner. As of today I have changed that to utilize the new comment management system from Disqus.
This new service from Disqus is still in development stage and as such doesn't have a way to import any existing comments; although Daniel has told me that this is a priority for them to get in place. In the meantime the new comment system will only be available for any new comments being made on posts.
I have it set up without any moderation of comments as that is how I had the previous system set up as well. However new commenters will be asked for their name and email address before their comments will be displayed.
By default the Disqus comments are displayed in a threaded view with the newest comments at the top of the pile. the other thing is that if you have an account with Disqus you will be able to assign a picture for your avatar that will be able to be displayed with your comment. Along with that you will notice both an up and down arrow beside each avatar which you can use to score that value of the comment.
One advantage of having a Disqus account is that it will follow you as you visit other blogs that also support Disqus and you can get an RSS feed for both the blogs and the comments made from each of the blogs you post comments to. For a better explanation of how it all works you can drop by the Disqus FAQ page and read through to get a better idea.
The reason I went with Disqus is because I believe they have a lot of interesting things coming that will make it easier for both bloggers and readers to keep track of their comments over the larger blogosphere landscape and make it more interesting to be involved with the blogs you like to read.
Now as soon as they get the import of old comments in place I will be upgrading that part of the WinExtra comments. In the mean time I hope you find this an easier way to get involved and voice your opinions about the things I write about here on WinExtra.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- Bl. John Paul II

"The Saints are not supermen, nor were they born perfect. They are like us, like each one of us. They are people who, before reaching the glory of heaven, lived normal lives with joys and sorrows, struggles and hopes. What changed their lives? When they recognized God's love, they followed it with all their heart without reserve or hypocrisy. They spent their lives serving others, they endured suffering and adversity without hatred and responded to evil with good, spreading joy and peace. This is the life of a Saint. Saints are people who for love of God did not put conditions on him in their life; they were not hypocrites; they spent their lives at the service of others. They suffered much adversity but without hate. The Saints never hated. Understand this well: love is of God, then from whom does hatred come? Hatred does not come from God but from the devil! And the Saints removed themselves from the devil; the Saints are men and women who have joy in their hearts and they spread it to others. Never hate but serve others, the most needy; pray and live in joy. This is the way of holiness! Being holy is not a privilege for the few, as if someone had a large inheritance; in Baptism we all have an inheritance to be able to become saints. Holiness is a vocation for everyone. Thus we are all called to walk on the path of holiness, and this path has a name and a face: the face of Jesus Christ."- Pope Francis, Angelus, 1 Nov 2013

Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe (R) first introduced his Pilot's Bill of Rights, which would limit the authority of the FAA in some proceedings it takes against pilots, in 2011. He wrote the legislation to address what he says is the ability of the agency to pull a pilot's airman privileges "on a whim." The bill would give pilots access to evidence used by the FAA to revoke pilot certificates, and provide an appeals process should their certificates be lifted.
On Thursday, Senator Inhofe (pictured) asked for unanimous consent from the Senate to consider the bill. While he admitted in a floor speech that for many in the Senate, or watching on C-SPAN2, the legislation might have little meaning. "But it means a lot to the 400,000 members of the AOPA, who are watching us right now, and to the 175,000 general aviation pilots with the EAA — Experimental Aircraft Association — that they know that with the whim of just one bureaucrat they could just lose their license."
The Hill reports that the move was blocked by Senators Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) and Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), respective the chair and ranking minority member of the Senate Commerce Committee which has jurisdiction over the FAA. Rockefeller said he based his objection on public safety considerations. "This bill would create a process, which would be new, that could result in the federal government [not] being able to pursue enforcement actions because of limited resources," Rockefeller said on the Senate floor. "This bill would stand the FAA's enforcement structure on its head, and as a result I object."

THE THEATRE review of "Sweet Bird of Youth" and "Lovers." In David Cromer's vivid revival of Tennessee Williams's "Sweet Bird of Youth" (at the Goodman, in Chicago), wannabe movie star and gigolo Chance Wayne (Finn Wittrock) and an aging film diva, Alexandra Del Lago (Diane Lane), travelling under the name Princess Kosmonopolis, have crashed on a hotel bed. The Princess is a winner who fears being washed up; Chance is a loser who longs to be part of "the parade." The production struggles to deliver the frantic feeling that gives Williams's lines their distinctive pitch and roll. "Winners" and "Losers," the two one-acts in Brian Friel's "Lovers" (directed by Drew Barr, at the Beckett), are windy ètudes. These plays were last seen in New York in 1968; there's a reason for that.

Cavity. That's the word no one wants to hear at the dentist's office. A cavity (say: ka-vuh-tee) develops when a tooth decays (say: dih-kaze), or breaks down. A cavity is a hole that can grow bigger and deeper over time. Cavities are also called dental caries (say: kar-eez), and if you have a cavity, it's important to get it repaired.
But why would your tooth develop a hole? Blame plaque. That's a sticky, slimy substance made up mostly of the germs that cause tooth decay. The bacteria in your mouth make acids and when plaque clings to your teeth, the acids can eat away at the outermost layer of the tooth, called the enamel (say: ih-na-mul).
If you don't go to the dentist, the acids can continue to make their way through the enamel, and the inside parts of your tooth can begin to decay. If you've ever had a toothache or heard an adult complain about one, it may have been because there was a cavity that reached all the way inside a tooth, where the nerve endings are. Ouch!
Your dentist will carefully examine your teeth and may take X-rays. If your dentist discovers a cavity, he or she can repair it for you by first removing the rotted part of your tooth with a special drill. The dentist then fills the hole in your tooth with a special material. The result is called a filling.
Does it hurt? Sometimes it does, but your dentist can give you an anesthestic. That's a kind of medicine that will numb the area around the problem tooth while you're getting your new filling.
Though cavities can be repaired, try to avoid them by taking care of your teeth. Here's how:

Hi, when I or other forum members view our forum in mobile, quoted text does not resize like the other text does. Makes it very scrollerific to read out forum in mobile. Someone has said it is probably simething to do with CSS(?) settings. I have limited experience with this kind of stuff...can anyine tell me how to fix this? Thanks.
Chas Large:
Can you post a link so I can check on mine?
Are you using the default theme or have a special mobile theme installed? The default WAP is just a CSS version which shows quotes in the same size font as posts.

And yes, I am using the default theme. I think. Thanks!
I just viewed it on iOS and the text appears fine from my end.
Chas Large:
Just checked on my Blackberry using the WAP2 link at the bottom, all quoted text shows as the same size as the normal text but then I'd expect it to as no styles are applied in WAP mode.
It's beginning to sound as though a member of your is using a browser that's trying to render the default theme to fit the size of their mobile's screen and failing.
I used to use Opera Mini on my old BB as the BB browser was crap, it worked well most of the time but on some sites it couldn't render the page correctly.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills have signed two of their eight 2009 draft choices, defensive backs Cary Harris and Ellis Lankster.
Harris, Buffalo's sixth-round pick (183rd overall), made 34 starts for USC during his collegiate career. He also appeared in 52 games for the Trojans, registering 143 tackles.
Lankster played in 22 games — including 13 starts — at West Virginia, and finished third on the team in 2008 with 68 tackles. The Bills seventh-round selection (220th overall) earned Junior College All-America honors at Jones County (Miss.) Junior College before enrolling at West Virginia in January 2007.
The players, who signed Tuesday, are the first two Bills draft choices from this year's class to agree to terms.

Recipe by Sandra Bennett
"This is a rich, creamy, dark chocolate icing."
Watch video tips and tricks
7 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons brandy
Excellent! The only change I made was to add 2 Tbsp. corn syrup to the ganache after I removed it from the heat. The frosting was creamy, smooth, and shiny...just what I was looking for. When it's chilled it tastes like the filling in a truffle.
I tried this recipe and wound up having to add about 3/4 box of confectioner's sugar in order to achieve an icing-like consistency. That said, I love the smooth texture and the taste is great. I didn't have brandy, so I used Godiva chocolate liqueur and Grand Marnier. Yummy!
94 Ratings
How wicked is this!! melted chocolate in microwave, then added butter and cream last. Used freshly brewed coffee with teaspoon of sugar to balance the bitterness instead of alcohol. I bought dark chocolate with 70% coco content. Very easy to do...
DELICIOUS rich and chocolately, and sooo easy to make! I made mine w/o the brandy as it was for a cake for my mom, and she hates alcohol. Still tasted great!
I love this recipe, I used milk chocolate instead and omitted the brandy and used them on my fauxstess cupcakes. Yum!!
Excellent consistency. I do not like bittersweet chocolate so I used semisweet because my husband likes the semi. Not a fan of semisweet either. It was ok for me but he loved it. Next time I'm going to use Milk Chocolate for a sweeter flavor. I did not use the liquor as I do not like that flavor.
This was good. I used it to ice a dark chocolate cake. I used Kahlua instead of brandy. The directions are easier than a "gourmet" recipe, but it did the job. Maybe a little too bitter for me...
Rich and Delicious! I added 2 tbsp of light corn syrup when I removed it from the heat as suggested by another reviewer and used Frangelico because I did not have any brandy. I used this on the Cream Filled Cupcakes from this site. I can't wait to use it again with other recipes.

These are sturdy attractive fixtures. One of the two we purchased did not have a mounting hole, but we were able to drill it out, based on the other one. Other than that, no issues. We're happy with our purchase.
It's pretty cute for the price. Looks good in my bathroom above the sink.
Not as studily made as expected, but looks nice. The arms bend too easily and was a little difficult to install if you are not an electrician.
Packaged well, nothing broken, but on one of the 2 I bought, the middle light holding bar is slightly bent. The electrician had to point it out though, it went un-noticed by me. The fixtures were a great price compared to others I considered at lighting stores and big box stores. Happy with the look in remodeled bathroom.
I had to bend one of the lights so that it was even with the other two and remove rust spot on the finish.
Love, love, love this light fixture. It gives my small bathroom an open feel and looks wonderful over the oval mirror. It gives me the light I want.

Great choice for a favor
Our wedding is at a vineyard, and this was the perfect choice for a favor. I was a little skeptical at first-so i ordered a sample when they had $3 shipping. First off, DB is very good a shipping within decent timeframes compared to other wedding sites. Secondly, the coasters were pretty! They are well wrapped with a pretty ribbon and cute charm. And the coasters themselves are well made, with an elegant etched design. Definitely happy I found these!

Swamp Water
Otherwise known as Iced Tea and Lemonade or an Arnold Palmer. It is an addictive summer drink and one that disappears in my house as soon as I make it. Here is what I do:
Brew 5 bags of Lipton Decaf Tea in 4+ cups of boiling water for 3 minutes. Remove tea bags and add 1.5 Tbs of sugar (I must admit that I do not measure this amount, it is by eye). In a 2 quart pitcher mix 1/2 cup of Lemonade Concentrate (Trader Joe's is the very best!), the sweetened tea and ice to fill. Stir and enjoy!

A "hero" climb with one cool steep move and a lot of huge holds. Get up to the ledge at the base of the route, just below the big roof and clip a bolt. Lean out over the roof to some big holds and ape your way onto those. You can practically campus the route from there, but heel-hooks look cooler. Clip a bolt above the roof and pull up to stand on the less-than-vertical face. Continue up on plates and puzzle pieces to a set of anchors and lower off. Or continue on plates and edges to the top of the rock with nuts and slings for gear.
Approach Phantasia Wall from the road via the main trail (right) and go slightly left at the split to the obvious low roof with bolts and a heavily plated, low-angle face above. This is Creature Feature.
A handful of draws plus some slings and nuts to finish the climb if so desired. It is generally still done just to the anchors (20 meters) as a single sport pitch.
Fun climb. The crux is at the beginning on the slab. If you're going to fall it'll most likely be here. Clip under roof then reach up over lip to great juggy plates. Pop over lip then continue on juggy holds all the way to the top. This route seems to stay wet a lot so don't go if it's rained within the past few days. In colder weather, do it in the morning, as the sun will shine on it then.
Loads of fun, reminded me of High Exposure at the Gunks. Really, the hardest section of this climb is the start. The roof move is only difficult if you're short, and even then it's doable.
I cant wait to do this climb it looks so fun. Cant wait for another trip here in December!
Has anyone short done this. I thought it was reachy and i am 5'11". Fun route. I swear there is dino tracks in the upper section.
I am 5'7". The roof is hard but doable. Creature Feature is my favorite climb so far but I am new to the sport. Anyone know of more good spots for a beginner in the Gorge? The very beginning was harder than getting past the roof.
Muir Valley has a high concentration of routes good for the aspiring leader.
I climbed this route a few days ago and noticed that one of the anchor rings (right I believe) is starting to wear through at one point, maybe 1/3 of the way and needs to be replaced. I did not have the gear to do it.

There may be a refresh for the very long-in-the-tooth iWork suite, Apple's productivity software (courtesy MacRumors). iWork has remained relatively unchanged since its 2009 introduction, although there have been incremental improvements over time- most recently the addition of iCloud storage and iOS versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
I've been a proponent of iWork from my first Mac. It offers a simpler, easer to navigate interface than the industry gold standard Microsoft Office equivalents. While not always as powerful, for a majority of the tasks I had in graduate school (and even more so in professional life) iWork has been a pleasant and productive experience. That being said, the software is long overdue for a refresh; time passes quickly in the tech world and with Apple focused on releasing iOS 7 on schedule, continuing the development of OSX, and the quick pace they release product hardware refreshes it seems only logical that such a small corner of the iWorld would go neglected.
According to the MacRumors article, several new positions have been opened for engineers and developers on the iWork team. Until Microsoft recognizes the benefit of expanding Office to iOS, iWork is the best option for iOS productivity needs- and in my opinion the best cross-device solution as well

Just started using a brand new Edit PC with PP CS4 and Matrox RTX.2 Imported AVI is very good quality and sharp when viewed on the timeline and on the output monitor, however, when I export any clips, the quality of the video appears flat and lifeless, as if the contrast has been reduced and the brightness increased. The exported files are played on Windows media player on both this machine and several others - the result is the same.
I want to export to windows media and have used 'PAL widescreen source - high quality download' preset and windows media 9 (and several others) but the result is the same whatever I use and however I tweak the settings. Also, if export using Microsoft AVI instead, or mpeg1 or mpeg 2, the result is always the same when I play the exported clip in windows media player.
I could convert the avi file through an external encoder to wmv, but a) I want to export direct from the timeline and b) the exported avi file has the same poor quality and c) that would be defeating the object of having CS4.
System is Vista, 4gb ram, 2 x quad core Xeon processors, ATI Radeon card, MAtrox RTX.2 v4.00x/ Prem pro CS4
Any ideas? would the update to Matrox 4.01 help? What am I missing? My old prem pro 1.5 exported crisp quality video every time.
Many thanks
The file was captured from a sony DV device. When I exported to windows media, I used the preset 'PAL widescreen source to high quality download' and used codec 'windows media video 9' I have tried all the other codecs too and the result is always the same.
When I used the microsoft AVI export, I used the preset 'PAL DV widescreen' and the codec DV PAL - again with the same result - a flat appearance.
I can convert the original avi through a third party converter and the result is perfect, so that tends to rule out the machine/card etc - and I have also started a new project using only PAL DV settings - bypassing MAtrox - the result is still the same.
Another odd thing is that if I import one of these clips that I have already exported as a .wmv, - when it appears on the timeline, the quality is perfect!! How can that be??
Any suggestions welcome.
How can that be??
Because something else is getting in your way, something you did not yet mention explicitly.
If you want to get to the bottom of this, provide details. Non-specific remarks like an ATI card in use do not help, saying - for instance - an ATI Radeon HD4870 with driver version 9.04 makes much more sense. You left out far too many details for troubleshooting this issue.
Ive heard of soft pal exports from a couple other users. Sounds to me like you are doing everythig right, assuming you are testing outside the matrox presets. That just adds another layer of troubleshooting that most of us cant duplicate.
Try this seemingly crazy experiment:
Drop a source clip on a pal timeline and using motion; move the clip Down in the frame 1 pixel. Now do a test export and see if its still fuzzy.
Hi Curt - many thanks for that tip - I seem to recall seeing something similar in another thread regarding a similar issue. I will try this tomorrow and post reply.
I tried a clip in Windows Movie Maker of all things today, just as a sanity check - a simple edit with a couple of fade in/outs, exported it as DVD quality wmv file and the result was perfect.
Thanks again.
I have tried the 'dropping one pixel idea' but its still the same. I have changed all the capture settings I can just in case, but to no avail either.
I have also exported using non interlace and also reversed the fields - none of which alters the output in respect of the problem.
Any further input/suggestions very welcome.
Due to lack of details that were requested and not given, this is the mind reader: [edited out unnecessary abusive language]. Your material is not suitable for editing, you are using the wrong codec, your PC is not up to the task, you have all kind of processes running that should not be running, your .... is causing problems. Etc.
If you don't give details, you can't get good answers. End of story.
I can convert the original avi through a third party converter and the result is perfect, so that tends to rule out the machine/card etc
Actually that somewhat validates the idea that Matrox is your issue. Try capturing with another program, Scenalyzer or WinDV. Plug your Firewire into a different port, not the Matrox card. Then bring that newly captured video into a non-Matrox project. See what happens.
Hi Jim,
I meant to add, that in my earlier post "I can convert using a third party encoder.... etc..." the 'original' avi was captured via premiere. This is also the same file I used when I converted it through windows movie maker, which was also a good result. It made me think that the capture part of the process must be ok as it appeared good in these two programs and also on the timeline.
But anyway, it may well be the problem so I will try capturing direct to the PC firwire port and import into a non matrox project tomorrow (Mon) & will post results.
Many thanks once again.
Just to add: system specs: Vista 32 bit /4gb ram/ 2 x Xeon 2.7ghz quad core cpu's / 2 1tb sata drives + 1 500gb system drive/ATI Radeon HD3870 (will check this)/ Prem pro CS4 build 4.01 / Matrox rtx.2 version 4.00127 / DV capture is from either Sony GDV300 deck or Sony Z1 camera.
I normally edit using matrox preset SD/PAL/widescreen. Im in UK so everything is PAL based
Hi Jim,
have captured a small length of footage directly through the PC firewire port using winDV. I imported it into a non - matrox sequence then exported it as a .wmv file and guess what........the result is fine!!
I then captured the same footage via premiere/matrox card and the exported file is burred and flat as before. Also, if I render this clip (captured thru prem), it immediately goes flat and blurry even before export.
I then imported the 'clean' clip into a matrox project and exported it and it's blurred and flat.
There is a software update for RTX.2 - 4.01 but according to the release, this just adds a matrox export option to the export menu. Do you know if the update may solve my problem? I'm a bit loathed to do it as it requires a full uninstall and I'm concerned that it will upset other premiere settings.
MAny thanks
I've been having similar issues with mpeg2 encodes in CS4, working in ntsc standard definition -- also on a hot new machine with the RTX2, Vista 64, 12 gigs ram, etc. In my tests I can get a sharper encode either using PP 1.5 on an older machine, or using a freebie stand-alone encoding program called WinFF.
In my case, I've actually been able to get sharp encodes in the matrox avi format -- those turn out fine for me. But once it goes to the AME for mpeg encoding, then it gets fuzzy. I've tried the 1 pixel offset, but that hasn't really made much of a difference.
The thing I like about the matrox card is that it gives me video output to an external monitor from the timeline as well as the source window within Premier CS4 ... and I assume it probably speeds up some of the rendering. I just don't feel like I'm getting a really good quality image when I'm using the windows media player or other players on my computer monitors. So I really rely on my external CRT monitor to judge sharpness, density and colors, as well as titles.
What are you doing for output monitoring, now that you've pulled out the RTX2 card? I've been wondering what other options there might be that would work well with CS4.
You might check out WinFF -- it seems very fast and so far it's been working well for me. I'm not in PAL. so that might make a difference ...
On the brightness issue, it might be worth checking to see whether you have the latest video display card drivers -- another user found that made a big difference in image quality. However, I don't think in his case that it was related to his mpeg encodes.

The Spring season brings thoughts of gardening and planting. Many peopke plant herbs to grow and nothing is easier or more fun to have in the garden than Basil. Basil is used quite often in Italian cooking but also in Asia cooking, although it is a different cultivar. Italian basil is usually called sweet basil as opoosed to Thai basil or lemon basil.
Basil is usually added at the last moment because if it is cooked to long, the delicate flavors are destroyed.
Basil is one of the main ingredients in pesto which is usually served on pasta or occasionally with bread. You can also use pesto as a way to garnish soup.
The most traditional pesto recipe is called Pesto alla Genovese. Here's a fun youtube video of a chef explaining how to make pesto, a very easy recipe.
Pesto has a few main ingredients and then some alternatives. Some pesto recipes call for adding potatoes and green beans, others do not. The mainstays of pesto are olive oil, pine nuts, basil and pecorino cheese.
Pesto is perfect for the spring and summer and is a great way to feed many people at a party. It goes very well with Italian white wines such as Vermentino, Pigato and some Pinot Grigio from the Alto Adige.
If you have no desire to make pesto, you can buy it at the Alta Cucina Store.
