I started breaking out just 4 months ago, and after 2 months of no improvement, i finally decided to resort to proactiv plus system. Immediately after using their product, i started to notice my skin was getting worse. i called them after a month of using and they gave me the "it makes it worse before it really gets better" talk. The lady told me to wait another two weeks and it will get better. I listened to her and my skin is now worse than it ever was. I called again but every time i mentioned that their products weren't working for me and that i wanted to cancel my subscription, they quickly gave excuses like their system just got "shut down" or their computer was "acting up" and that i should try calling back in 10 minutes. After the first few calls of that, i finally got someone who actually had a working computer and managed to cancel my subscription. But i couldn't return their products because i missed their 60 day return policy by a day. I just wasted over $200 worth of products that did nothing for me. I recommend seeing a professional first before wasting your money on this. And if the professional suggest to try proactiv, then see another professional.
In the fall of 2010, I was entering my Junior year of high school when I noticed my skin started to break out. It began with a few red bumps around my chin, forehead, and every so often on the nose. But other than that, my skin was very clear, firm, even-toned and even-textured. By the spring, I started feeling a little self-conscious and decided I needed to developed a better skincare routine. My my family doctor recommended proactiv because they 'said' they found a lot of success with the system in people with my skin problems. I have never made a worse mistake in my entire life. I purchased this system under the assumption that "well, if friends, doctors, and celebrities get clear skin from this product than that means I will too!". I was so wrong. I used the system in its entirety, hoping that my skin followed the mantra "it gets worse before it gets better". After three months, and $100 down the drain, my skin's texture completely changed. I started developing acne scars and dark spots, uneven, sensitive skin, the pores on my cheeks were extremely enlarged and my breakouts rocketed to a whole new level of bad. I noticed what looked to be dozens of tiny bumps all over my forehead and around my mouth and I even started to develop very painful and chronic cystic acne along my jawline and forehead. It is now 2014, I am a sophomore in college and my skin is still trying to recover from this train-wreck of an acne treatment. Because of proactiv, I lost so much confidence and self-esteem and stopped interacting with a large majority of my friends. This product line is a huge gimmick and if there is someone reading this review that is considering trying this skincare line, please see a dermatologist first and find out what they can offer you instead. If your dermatologist recommends proactiv solution, run far, far, away from that doctor. I hope my horror-story with proactiv will help prevent others from enduring the same fate as I.
For years (since I was 12, now 17) I have struggled with acne. I tried everything (except accutane of course), from antibiotics (2 types), the contraceptive pill, all sorts of cleansers from the supermarket, even stuff from avon. Nothing worked. After trying almost every avenue for 3 years and begging my mum to let me go on accutane, she bought me proactiv. Best thing ever bought. Now people complain they used it straight away and they complain that their skins reacting. What you're SUPPOSED to do is trial it, use it every second night for 2 weeks so your skin can get USED to it. Many people do not try this and end up blaming proactiv. I tried the 2 week trial, then started using it religiously 2 times a day, 3 step method (cleanse, tone and repair) and what do you know, it really does start working from day 1. About 6 weeks later, no pimples. Yes I had very bad scarring (hyperpigmination) however that's something that time must heal. One thing i'll admit, my skin did become dry and flaky, I then purchased the moisterizer which you apply after step 3 (repair, once it has dried). Also once you do stop using it your pimples do come back. That is because proactiv is controlling your breakouts, not getting rid of it. You cannot GET RID of it, however skin care products like proactiv can reduce the appearance of breakouts.
Honestly by far this is the best thing I've ever purchased and the best thing I have ever done for my skin. If it wasn't for proactiv I really don't know what I would do. I did not have any issues whatsoever with shipment/being tricked into paying for 2 packs or whatever people were complaining about because I went to the proactiv store myself, and on the plus side got lots of free stuff.
To answer is, yes proactive does work. Immediately after using proactive my skin responded and started to clear. Although proactive works effectively, your skin begins to become dependent on it. After my skin cleared up for about a month I stopped using it and noticed I began to break out again. If you want to use Proactive use it until your skin clears and then stop. Yes, your skin will break out again but this is only temporary. I am not sure on the dark spot removers and other facial masks and cleansers they add a an gift, but the three-step system does.

I struggled with adult acne, which is different than teenage acne. My skin is very sensitive and prone to dryness and the Citrus Clear Sensitive Wash & Moisturizer are the only products that dont irritate my skin. I also use the Citrus Clear Spot Treatment - but i use it all over my face - not just in specific areas. This works the best all over the face. Its the only thing that managed to control my adult acne, without irritating my sensitive skin. . .and my skin is sensitive!
Proactiv has got to be one of the worst companies that I have had the misfortune of dealing with. I was starting to get small breakouts in various places, and decided that I was tired of it. So, I got on and ordered Proactiv. Signing up and getting the initial package was a task in itself. I made phone call after phone call. When I got signed up, they actually signed me up TWICE, so I was being charged double. They never explained to me that they were going to bill me over the course of three months to make it "cheaper." After 4 months of dry skin, breakouts, and rude service, I called to cancel. Now, I'm sure many other people have noticed; they hire people from everywhere. This is fine, but you CANNOT UNDERSTAND THEM. The representative refused to cancel my account, but put the account on hold. He told me that I would "regret canceling with Proactiv" that I will "want to come back." I was flustered, but I took what I could get. I called back a few weeks later and cancelled my account.
They charged me $40 two months later and sent me another package. I refused the package and USPS sent it back to them. I called later that day and said that I had "already canceled my account, and I expect to be refunded. I will be refusing anymore packages they try to send me." The representative had a serious attitude, and told me she would switch it out for something else. NO. I said I wanted a refund, and nothing more from their company. A month later, I received a refund, of $9. They refuse to refund me any more than that. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE.
I switched to OCM (Oil Cleansing Method) about 4 months ago, and my skin looks AMAZING. I highly suggest trying this before going to another company. You can find out more at the link below.

On top of the Proactiv company being extremely pushy and not very helpful, the products are very mediocre. Over a few weeks of using proactive my skin became irritated, gained more redness, and stayed dry even with using the "bonus moisturizer" that came with the set. My acne did clear up a little but my face was in such poor shape that I could not apply make up without it looking cakey or my face flaking it off. I highly, highly suggest looking into more gentle or even natural products for your skin. I am not 100% clear but my skin looks wonderful since I've stopped using proactive that the little acne that remains is hardly a bother.
I purchased Proactiv +, after using it for a month, not only did it not work but it made my skin worse. Then they over charged my bank account and after i called to get it refunded and to have the account cancelled, they never refunded me and they sent me a bill saying that i still owed them $87.00. I was hung up on twice while trying to resolve the problem and I couldn't understand 90% of what the representatives were saying to me. They still have not refunded my money and my skin is starting to look better now that i stopped using their product. I will never try anything company has again. Hopefully this information will deter future buyers so they wont have to go through what i'm still going through with this horrible company!
I used the Proactive Treatment for 3 months, religiously. At first I thought it will take time to work even though my skin kept on getting worse and worse each day. Then I just quit completely. Waste of money honestly, there are a lot of home made remedies that will definitely be a lot more effective then this. Overall, not worth spending money and time on.
I was given Proactive by a friend. It didn't work for him but he said it might work for me since we have different skin types. I tried it out and it seemed to work for me the first few days. 2 weeks later I find myself breaking out more than I already was. My acne became inflamed and my skin as of now is super dry. Another thing is, my skin began to look oily and elastic in the spots where I put on the spot treatment (3rd step.) Proactive is by far the worst acne treatment I have ever used in my life. I am 20 years old and never broke out in my life until I hit 19. Proactive was said to help get self-esteem back, instead it decreased mine even more. 5 weeks into this skincare and the only thing I have is dry, itchy/irritated, inflamed, and more pimples than before. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

The Department of Environment's administration of Australia's environment protection laws has been found to have failed to track activities at areas of greatest risk and has not maintained effective capabilities for ensuring compliance with the laws.
In his report, Managing Compliance with Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 Conditions of Approval, Auditor-General, Ian McPhee says the Department "is not well placed to demonstrate that it is effectively targeting its compliance monitoring activities to the areas of greatest risk".
The extent of the shortcomings and challenges "does not instil confidence" that necessary environmental protection measures have received sufficient oversight "over an extended period of time", Mr McPhee said.
"Environment is working to improve its internal performance reporting arrangements to provide greater visibility of the compliance monitoring function to senior departmental managers," he said.
The Auditor-General said while the Department had dedicated additional resources in 2007 to monitor and enforce compliance, effective arrangements to administer its regulatory responsibilities were yet to be established.
"The absence of a sound risk-based approach has meant that compliance monitoring undertaken by the Department has, generally, been insufficient to provide an appropriate level of assurance of proponents' ongoing compliance with their conditions of approval."
There were "numerous plans and compliance returns found to be overdue" and "generally poor evidence retained demonstrating the Department's appropriate assessment of submitted plans and returns", particularly for assessments before 2013, according to the audit.
Since the enactment of the Act in 2000, the Australian Government has approved more than 600 controlled actions, many with conditions attached.
"The increasing workload on compliance monitoring staff over time has resulted in Environment adopting a generally passive approach to monitoring proponents' compliance with most approval conditions," Mr McPhee said.
"As a consequence, the Department has limited awareness of the progress of many approved controlled actions."
The audit team was Grant Caine, Anna Peterson, Joan Kieboom and Mark Simpson.

Golf in Durban
Durban Country Club has hosted more South African Opens than any other course, and is regularly rated the best in South Africa. Tees and greens sit atop large sand dunes, and trees add an additional hazard. Visitors are welcome, but can't play Wednesday and Thursday afternoons or Saturdays; fees for the 18-hole, par-72 course are R560. Rental clubs are available. 031/313–1777. www.dcclub.co.za.
Inside the Greyville Racecourse, the Royal Durban Golf Club offers no protection from the wind, which makes hitting the narrow fairways very difficult, but the surroundings are attractive and the venue is central. Fees for the 18-hole, par-72 course are R300, rental clubs are available, and reservations are essential. The course is open every day, and the first tee-off is at 7 am. 031/309–1373. www.royaldurban.co.za.
Zimbali Country Club is built in and around one of the few remaining coastal forests in the province. The world-class 18-hole course was designed by Tom Weiskopf and lies amid sand dunes above a secluded beach, natural springs, and a lake. There is a fully stocked pro shop. Greens fees for 18 holes are R350 on weekdays and R400 on weekends. Compulsory cart rental is R200; rental clubs are available for R300 per set. 032/538–1041. www.zimbali.org.

Class Trips and Dads
Why are guys so different than us….thirty years on this planet and I still have no idea why. What I do know is that they just don't care about the same things as we do. Yesterday we went on my son's 3rd grade class trip to Historic Philadelphia. All the parents were asked to bring a bag to carry the kids lunches in…I had a backpack. Here is what one Dad brought to carry the kids lunches in….I think he had more than just sandwiches in it. (it's a Coors Light bag)
and of course, kids need to constantly be learning. Good thing one dad remembered his special shirt.

Left speaker not working
My right speaker and the big thing its on is working fine but my left speaker is not working, which means i cant hear anything just a buzzing sound. How do i fix this problem?

I assume you have a 2.1 speaker system (two small speakers and one bass speaker). First thing, check the connection to the PC. If the plug is not fully inserted or not making good contact you could only get one channel. Reseat the plug (unplug then plug back in making sure it's fully inserted). Same way check the other end of the cable at the speaker system (probably goes to the bass speaker). If that is not the problem, it sounds like either a bad internal speaker system connection or a defective speaker system. If it's a defective speaker system and you are still under warranty contact HP or the speaker vendor, if it's not in warranty look for a new speaker system as they are not repairable.
|My System Specs
|10 Apr 2012
1 more thing to try, right click on your speaker icon on the task bar. Then click on playback devices. Then right click on the device you are using for playback. Select properties, then select levels. On the main speaker level, you should see an icon that says balance, click it. First ensure that both the left and right channels are at the same level. If they are, move the slider to the left and then back to the right on both speakers.
Report back with results.

Most do not come back with a fix, if what is suggested fixes the problem. It's that way on most forums. I do a lot of support on the Dell forum and it's the same way, most of the time there is no feedback.

** Editor's note: with rain likely delaying the race at Bristol, contest will take place whenever the race does take place, be it Sunday evening or Monday. Winner will still be selected sometime on Tuesday.
I'm sure you've heard of those "win it before you can buy it" contests that radio stations seem to be so fond of. Now, Stock Car Spin is getting in on the action. We have a couple of copies of NASCAR Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip's soon to be released book, The Race. The book is scheduled to hit bookstore shelves in May, but you can win a copy from us in March. Here's what we're asking you to do:
Whether you're at Bristol (Ten.) Motor Speedway this weekend or plan to watch the race from the comfort of your couch, recliner, favorite sports bar, etc., tweet us a photo (Twitter.com/scsblog) of yourself and/or friends and family watching the Bristol action or getting ready to enjoy the race. Sometime on Tuesday, we'll post some of our favorites in a photo gallery on the site and pick a winner. That's all there is to it.
And what better race weekend to have this contest than Bristol. After all, Waltrip is the track's winningest driver, claiming 12 NASCAR Cup wins at the track, including seven-straight. He even once lapped the field en route to a Bristol win in the late 1970s.
Here is some information on the book from B&H Publishing Group:
"The mission of Motor Racing Outreach is to introduce the racing community to a personal faith in Jesus and active church involvement through relationships that provide care in times of stress, knowledge of God's Word, and assistance in the development of leadership skills. In The Race, MRO leaders Billy Mauldin and Kyle Froman share the divine lessons they've learned in the pits and among the NASCAR community to help others with their personal mission—preparing for it, receiving it, and then living faithfully on mission. Throughout, three-time NASCAR champion and Hall of Fame inductee Darrell Waltrip offers related anecdotes on what it takes to win the race, giving fans an inside look at his storied profession and the personal belief in God that keeps him on mission. "We, too, are racers in the middle of the greatest race known to mankind: life. We want to live in a way that, when we reach our finish line, we can be proud of what we've accomplished. We want to be an example for our family and friends. And if we are a follower of Christ, we want to hear the words 'well done my good and faithful servant.'"
Get in on the action and Tweet us a photo on Sunday! Enjoy the race!
Whether or not you plan on entering, follow us on Twitter @SCSblog or like Stock Car Spin on Facebook. Amanda's also on Twitter @NASCARexaminer and has a fan/like page on Facebook: NASCAR Examiner.

Give Till Its Gone
Harper Ben
Give Till Its Gone
Harper Ben
GIVE TILL IT'S GONE is Ben's 10th studio album and first solo album since his 2006 release BOTH SIDES OF THE GUN. The album features two tracks co-written with Ringo Starr - the exuberant, psychedelic-tinged "Spilling Faith" and "Get There From Here," an improvisational instrumental. Starr also plays drums on the songs "I've never made a record that was such a timeline," says Harper. "It's a real extension of the last year and half in my life, and all these sounds are inspired by my experiences. It's as honest a musical statement as I could make".
- Don't Give Up On Me Now
- I Will Not Be Broken
- Rock N' Roll Is Free
- Feel Love
- Clearly Severely
- Spilling Faith
- Get There From Here
- Pray That Our Love Sees The Dawn
- Waiting On A Sign
- Dirty Little Lover
- Do It For You, Do It For Us
by Lou Fulco, Readings Carlton
This, Ben Harper's first solo album since 2006, is inspired by events over the last year and a half of his life. He regards it as a timeline for that period. The album's message is one of finding meaning and a place in the world, of never giving up and always moving forward. His trademark Weissenborn guitar is not front and centre but his evocative vocals fill every song with emotion and power.
Jackson Browne and Ringo Starr appear on the album and Starr actually co-wrote two of the tracks. The first single, 'Rock'n'Roll Is Free' was written after opening for Neil Young's London concert last year and pays tribute to Young's 'Rockin' In The Free World', looking at the world in new ways and using music to challenge the status quo. Ben Harper has always been a conscientious and mindful musician and this release shows that his message is still one of hope for the world we live in.

Report: 90 Percent of Condo Buyers Are Foreigners

If you're trying to handicap the 2004 presidential election, forget about the marquee pundits and media analysts. Instead look to Saturday Night Live, whose writers have, if nothing else, at least managed to accurately capture the nation-at-large's take on George W. Bush. There was the Scrabble-challenged Bush of the 2000 debates with Al Gore, proudly summing up his candidacy's merits in one word as strategery, counseling his underage drinking daughter not to be so melodramaculous, and pondering his victorious administration's lineup: "Who do you think would make a better Secretary of the Interior -- Nolan Ryan or The Rock? The Rock is stronger. But Nolan Ryan's wise."
And then there was the post-September 11 SNLBush, soberly addressing the American people: "We're coming for you, bin Laden. I'm gonna make you my own personalWhere's Waldo."
It's a supremely likable portrait, a little goofy, not exactly brimming with gravitas -- but still a commander-in-chief determined to do the right thing, with a little help from his Cabinet friends. Bush himself has admitted as much, explaining to Alexandra Pelosi in her campaign trail documentary Journeys with George: "I started off as a cowboy. I'm now a statesman." The truth may lie somewhere in between those two poles, but as reflected in Bush's strong approval ratings, a firm plurality remains more than willing to forgive the difference. Both images were on display when Bush visited Miami on June 30, and if his performance that day is any guide, GOP Oval Office strategerists, er, strategists, have every reason to be gleeful.
Onboard Air Force One that morning, en route to an audience of viejos at the Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Center, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer was already sparring with a gaggle of reporters.
"Ari, how important is Florida to the president's re-election?" asked one journalist as the jet winged toward Miami.
"At this point I'm not going to get into a state-by-state analysis of an election that is more than a year away.... There will be coming a time for politics," Fleischer coolly replied, minting his own version of Bush-speak.
"It's just a coincidence he's talking to Hispanic seniors about Medicare in Florida?"
"He's been to Florida many times. He's talked to all kinds of people in Florida...."
"Seems like it would be good for the re-election, though, to talk to this group today?"
"The president thinks it's good for policy, and that's why he's here."
"That's good, Ari," the exasperated journalist sighed as Fleischer grinned and the cabin erupted into laughter.
A few hours later, Bush didn't disappoint. Speaking in front of a large, made-for-TV sign emblazoned with "Strengthening Medicare," he had the crowd of predominantly Cuban seniors in his palm from his opening joke about his "big" little brother Jeb. Barely two minutes into his speech he began giving warm shout-outs to the local pols in the room -- "I see that the Diaz-Balart boys are with us today" -- stumbling only when he mistakenly saluted county Mayor Alex Penelas while pointing to city Mayor Manny Diaz. Amid the boos, Bush quickly corrected himself, and newspapers from the New York Timesto the Washington Post were quick to make light of the gaffe.
Certainly Bush could be excused for his identity mix-up. After all, as many of his fellow Democrats accuse, U.S. Senate hopeful Alex Penelas -- conspicuously MIA during the South Florida election drama of 2000 -- would seem to be a Republican in everything but name. And Manny Diaz, whose earlier role as counsel to Elian Gonzalez's Miami relatives had many worried about his political sensibilities, has quietly turned out to be the most forward-thinking reformer to head city hall in years: championing gay rights, defending civil liberties, and forsaking useless Castro-baiting in favor of demanding accountability from scandal-plagued departments.
More important, while the press corps delighted in reporting Bush's fumble, the crowd there loved him for it, especially when he brought down the house by quipping of the absent Penelas: "At least he got his name mentioned. That's a smart move."
It was a brief moment, but a telling one. Verbal dyslexia and all, Bush is a charismatic leader, and the same gestures that invite ridicule from certain corners make him all the more human -- and attractive as a president -- to other swaths of the body politic. Moreover, this dismissive attitude toward Bush's persona all too often blindly extends to his policies, most glaringly with the war in Iraq. If Bush isfor it, this knee-jerk reasoning goes, then I'm most definitelyagainst it.
After his Little Havana love-in, Bush raced off to a $2000-a-plate lunch at the Miami Airport Hilton, where he added a cool $1.8 million to his campaign war chest. However, while several of the event's co-chairmen, such as sugar baron Pepe Fanjul and developer Sergio Pino, may hardly be considered progressive forces in the community, some of what Bush had to say made an awful lot of sense.
"Our national interest involves more than eliminating aggressive threats to our safety," Bush explained to the assembled diners. "Our greatest security comes from the advance of human liberty. Because free nations do not support terror, free nations do not attack their neighbors, and free nations do not threaten the world with weapons of mass terror."

Every Los Angeles resident immediately recognizes the ubiquitous square pink donut box, and for many of us, it puts a smile on our faces like few other things can. However, as amazing as LA's donut shops are, they're all similar in their offerings. Well, today I walked into Cafe Dulce, and came face to face with several varieties of donut I have never had before.
This is the Green Tea Donut, and while it looks similar to most custard-filled donuts, it distinguishes itself with a dark tan color and a coating of granulated sugar on top. The first bite reveals a much denser dough, almost chewy, as well as a slight green hue and the mildest of green tea flavor. The semi-sweet vanilla custard is thick and extraordinarily smooth. Each bite has a green tea latte undertone that transcends that of an ordinary donut. This, my friends, is an excellent dessert.
This fruity pebble 'donut hole' is large and would have to have been cut out of a foot-wide donut to fit properly. Nonetheless, it has a fluffy dough with thick frosting and fruity pebbles on top. The frosting has a creamy milk-like taste with just a touch of sweetness. The dough's airiness goes well with the thick frosting, and the crunch of the fruity pebbles rounds out the consistency quite nicely. The dough has a hint of fried flavor, but overall this donut tastes a lot like eating a bowl of fruity pebbles, which is perfectly okay by me.

Effective August 18th, 2014, the Surrey Williamson Inn second floor guest rooms will be closed until further notice so the College may begin much needed structural and life safety upgrades and renovations.
This renovation project is expected to be lengthy given the age of the building, the
need to preserve its historical charm and character, and the extent of the work to
be completed.
It's anticipated that the first floor public spaces will be available next year.
Please click on the appropriate button to register for overnight accommodations (room reservation) or to schedule a meeting or event.
All reservations must be made 72 hours in advance.

Staying in a New England inn during foliage season is the quintessential fall vacation. If you're conjuring up images of historic mansions, elegant antiques, thick oriental rugs, and cozy fireplaces for those crisp fall nights – well, you're right on the money. These ten inns all have charm to spare.
Ale House Inn, New Hampshire
The cozy 10-room Ale House Inn — more suited to adults than families — is housed in a historic 130-year-old former brewery warehouse a block from downtown Portsmouth. Room decor is minimalist, hip, and chic, but there isn't much to this boutique hotel other than a small lobby and common area with free snacks. There is no on-site restaurant or bar, but the Market Square District location means shops and dining are nearby. The hotel gives free tickets to the Seacoast Rep Theater, which is located on the ground floor, and a free local beer upon arrival. Each room is equipped with a pre-loaded iPad that includes a ton of information about Portsmouth.

Don't get any MP4 Thumbnails...
Hey everyone!
I got a new laptop yesterday and so, now I have Windows Home Premium, 64-bit....
But I still have one problem with the thumbnails....
I installed the KMPlayer, ffdshow codecs, Haali Media Splitter (Matrovska) and the Divx Plus codecs to enhance the hd quality of the KmPlayer....
Every other video format works and his thumbnail works fine, like mkv, avi, wma,etc. just mp4 wont work, but I can play it, even with the windows media player.....
I already re-installed ffdshow tryouts, Haali Media Splitter and the Divx-Codecs but it still does not work......
Settings to show thumbails and not symbols, etc. are already activated, of course....
Can someone please help me? It really drives me nuts......
So far,
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2010
What kind of MP4s do you have? Just showing a black box for a thumb?
Try running a disk clean up or Ccleaner and delete your current thumb and the try to regernerate them.
Gabest Splitter may work better for the MP4s.
I tried Divx at one point but it had playback issues with MP4 that had a x264 video stream and AC3 5.1 audio.
No thumbs at times or no sound on playback
I think its something to do with DIVX.
I just went back to Sharks pack, worked better for me. And all players work, even WMP12
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2010
I can play them in every player, eben WMP.....nor problems at all....and I don't get black thumbnails, I just get NO thumbnails, sadly ;(
Deleting all thumbnails and let them be recreated again did not work ...
More ideas?
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2010
The only thing I can think of right off would be DivX itself.
Just to check, you can try to remove Divx. See if you can get it to generate thumbs then.
You can always re-install it if you want to use it.
By default, Windows 7 support MP4 and thumbnails for them.
So it must be something added thats over riding.
|My System Specs
|16 Aug 2010
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Although the DivX software is responsible for several playback issues, the lack of MP4 thumnails is not one of them. The Windows 7 OS can only thumb MP4's that are created exactly to the MP4 specification. Any deviation from the MP4 spec. and you will not get a thumbnail from the OS. The Shark007 Codecs do allow for proper MP4 thumbnailing along with thumbing of many other formats such as MKV and FLV. If the original poster is thinking to try Shark007 Codecs, be sure to uninstall ALL codec related installations 1st. (Haali, FFDshow, DivX etc)
|My System Specs
|22 Aug 2010
Hm, I killed all the other codecs, re-estarted the pc, installed sharks codecs but still no change, even when I installed the x64 codecs later as an addition to the x68 codecs.....
EDIT: Yes, now it works! I started the x86 and the x64 Shark007 Codecs in admin mode and checked the "shark007 SUGGESTED settings" in both applications. And now, it works really well for me, thanks
Problem solved ^_^

Listen — a billion people are throwing up. That's a rough estimate of course, but every year somebody at the Oscars says a billion people on the planet are watching the program; however many watched this year's Oscar show, they may well have felt sickened by it. It was a stomach-churning, jaw-dropping debacle, incompetently hosted and witlessly produced.

Actress Jane Lynch has always been a friend to the Windy City. From her humble beginnings acting at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company to the Second City comedy troupe. The Dolton, Illinois native broke out as a Brady in the Annoyance Theater's Real Live Brady Brunch then put her improv skills to good use in Christopher Guest's movie Best in Show. She stuck with him for A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration then again became a critic's darling in the hilarious 40-Year-Old Virgin.
The Fox series Glee brought the worldwide fame she deserved and she now uses that star power to begin a new endeavor on NBC. Hollywood Game Night combines every day competitors with celebrity guest stars for a chance to take home $25,000.
While the lesbian team player has definitely gone Hollywood she took time out to speak to Nunn on the Run just before the show aired.
Jerry Nunn: Hi, Jane. It's good to talk to you again.
Jane Lynch: It is good to talk to you.
JN: I know Sean Hayes is on the show. Did you know him from your Chicago days?

Thousands protest against police ahead of 13-year-old shooting victim's funeral
Over 1,000 people showed up to protest the death of Andy Lopez hours before the funeral for the 13-year-old boy was scheduled to take place. California police fatally shot Lopez last week when they saw him carrying what turned out to be a toy rifle.
The Tuesday rally began at approximately 12pm local time and only seemed to grow as the day went on. Demonstrators planned to march through the small city of Santa Rosa, California, located approximately 50 miles north of San Francisco.
Signs reading "We are all Andy Lopez, the whole damn system is guilty" and "Andy did not have to die" were on display alongside police officers in riot gear who were monitoring the crowd.

A reminder of who Marissa Alexander is and why this is an urgent issue:
Marissa Alexander was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Marissa is the victim here. Her husband beat her while she was pregnant. After yet another beating, Alexander fired a warning shot which traveled through a wall and into the ceiling. That shot saved her life. She didn't kill anyone. Prosecutor Angela Corey did not take into account that Marissa Alexander had a court injunction against her crazed husband. She had given birth 9 Days earlier and was trained to use a weapon and earned a concealed weapons permit. Whilst the Stand Your Ground Law has been successfully used by other people in the State of Florida, that law didn't apply to Marissa Alexander although she was a victim of Domestic Abuse.
Here's the original article.

On January 12, 2010, one day after his 18th birthday, CAPA High School honors student Jordan Trent Miles was ambushed by three plain clothes Pittsburgh police officers, who failed to identify themselves and approached him aggressively. The officers did not say "Stop! Police!", they jumped out of an unmarked vehicle, one of them yelling "Where's your money? Where's the drugs? Where's the gun?" Miles, never before in trouble with the police and thinking he was being robbed, began to run, and slipped on the icy sidewalk. The officers overtook Miles and administered a brutal beating that left him unrecognizable, ripping dreadlocks out of his head, and continuing to beat him as he lay on the ground after their initial assault, stammering the Lord's Prayer. There can be no explaining away or excusing what was done to Miles.
The police officers lied about what happened, claiming there was a bulge in his pocket they assumed was a gun but "turned out to be a Mountain Dew bottle". No bottle was ever entered into evidence, and Jordan and his friends will tell you he doesn't even drink the soda. The officers also attempted to claim a neighbor reported him as a prowler and attempted to bring assault charges against Miles, which were tossed out of court when the neighbor said she did no such thing. Despite all this, the City of Pittsburgh went on to reward these violent officers with a commendation and, during their suspension, paid them more than they earned while working. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh DA has not brought charges and the Justice Department announced on May 4th, 2011 that it would not prosecute the three officers. The mayor and police chief announced on May 5th that the three officers would be returning to work.
"I feel that my son was racially profiled," Terez Miles said. "It's a rough neighborhood; it was after dark. … They assumed he was up to no good because he's black. My son, he knows nothing about the streets at all. He's had a very sheltered life, he's very quiet, he doesn't know police officers sit in cars and stalk people like that."
wtf no. im gonna cry. -___ - whyyyy
Oh my Allah.

"Once these demands have been met, we will come up with more, and then more, until we are living in a sane, just, and sustainable culture. We believe that such a culture is our birthright, both as human beings with inalienable rights and as animals who love our home. We have not forgotten that the Declaration of Independence states that when a government becomes destructive of our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, then it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it."

Nation journalistreports on Pennsylvania's drive to execute Terrance Williams, who was convicted as a juvenile for killing men who abused him.
EIGHTEEN-YEAR-old Terrance Williams "did not fit the mold of a typical street criminal," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported in September of 1984. "He was a bright, talented college student, former star quarterback of the Germantown High School football team. His friends, teachers, coaches and neighbors could not believe that he would be involved in murder, or any sordid activity."
Yet Williams, who is African American, had committed two grisly killings. One victim, the Inquirer reported, was 50-year-old Herbert Hamilton, who had been found naked, with a knife through his throat, on his kitchen floor. The other, Amos Norwood, who led the altar boys and directed the Youth Theater Fellowship at Philadelphia's St. Luke's Episcopal Church, had been beaten with a tire iron, set on fire and left in a cemetery.
"The problem I find with you, Mr. Williams, is you are a Jekyll and Hyde, apparently," one judge told him. Tried as an adult for the Hamilton murder despite being 17 at the time, Williams was already in prison when he was sentenced to die for killing Norwood. "We were glad we did it," one juror told the press.
Today, Williams, 46, is facing death by lethal injection. This August, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett signed a warrant scheduling his execution for October 3. But in the meantime, the same jurors who sealed his fate have had a dramatic change of heart.
At least five say that if they could go back, they would never have sent Williams to death row. That's because they were never told a salient and deeply disturbing detail about his relationship with his victim. Williams, it turns out, had been violently and systematically raped by Norwood, beginning when he was 13 years old.
In fact, behind the image of Williams as a model student athlete was a childhood marred by horrific physical and sexual abuse that began from the time Williams was just 6 years old. Relentlessly beaten by his mother (herself a victim of abuse) and his alcoholic stepfather and gang-raped at a juvenile detention center when he was 16, by the time Williams killed Norwood he was regularly cutting himself, abusing drugs and alcohol, and had endured more than a decade of abuse.
Among the others who sexually assaulted him: his other victim, Herbert Hamilton.

Stop and Frisk, New York Style…
This mural, painted on a wall in East New York, Brooklyn, depicts the NYPDs Stop and Frisk policies, in which minorities are targeted at a extremely high rate to be stop, frisked, and harassed by police at a far higher rate than caucasians. This street art is a sad yet powerful commentary on our time.

Justice for Deaf Woman Tasered and Jailed by Police!
Lashonn White is a deaf woman who called 911 after being attacked in her apartment. Instead of being helped, Tacoma police tasered her and put her in jail for 60 hours without an interpreter.
Two police officers were dispatched who had been told that she is deaf. She ran outside to meet them, and immediately, Officer Koskovich tasered her in her rib and stomach. Because of the fall, she suffered heavy bleeding from her knuckles, injuries to her cheek, chin, ribs, neck, and arms, and swelling on the right side of her face.
Then they handcuffed her — she was incredibly confused as to why she was under arrest, and couldn't talk to the officers because they don't know sign language. Koskovich said that he had yelled for White to stop, but she had ignored him, when she actually couldn't hear him.
Please tell the Tacoma Police Department that all officers need to receive training concerning disabled individuals and to do a full investigation of the incident. Get justice for Lashonn White!

MORE THAN two years have passed since Detroit police murdered 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley Jones.
She was asleep on a sofa in her grandmother's living room when she was shot to death by officers of the Detroit Police Department (DPD), as a reality TV crew filmed the tragic incident. Today, the Jones family has still not seen justice and continues to be brutalized by the DPD.
Detroit police raided the Jones family's duplex around midnight on May 16, 2010. Police believed a suspect in a murder that happened a few days earlier was hiding in the home. Rather than wait for the suspect to leave the house, as police officers have since told the media is standard protocol, the cops chose to storm the house in a nighttime raid—bringing camera crews with them—despite the children's toys scattered across the lawn.
Cops approached the home and threw a flash grenade into the living room through a first floor window, temporarily blinding the occupants inside. According to attorneys for the Jones family, video evidence shows that at that point, Officer Joseph Weekley, a regular guest on reality television, shot inside the home, killing Aiyana. The film has still not been released to the public.
The cops' version of events has been inconsistent. First, they claimed that Weekley's gun went off when Aiyana's grandmother, Mertilla Jones, tried to grab it in a scuffle with Weekley. But Mertilla was arrested, drug tested and examined that night for gunpowder residue on her hands. All of the tests came back negative.
The police have since backed off that story, and now claim that Mertilla brushed against Weekly as she ran from the room, causing his gun to misfire. But there was "no contact with any cop," Mertilla told reporters. "None. They're lying."
… IMMEDIATELY AFTER the incident, the media set out to cover for the police and blame the Jones family for the tragedy. The day after Aiyana's murder, Rochelle Riley, a columnist for the Detroit Free Press, wrote that Detroiters "need to stop harboring criminals and averting our eyes to thuggery."
The Free Press ran a profile of Officer Weekley the next day, saying that he "helmed several charitable endeavors…including one that raises money for children of domestic violence victims." The profile neglected to mention that a group of Detroit cops, including Weekley, were under federal investigation for a 2007 incident in which police raided a home, shot two dogs to death and pointed guns at children, including infants.
Weekley was arraigned in October 2011, 17 months after the fatal raid, and charged with involuntary manslaughter. He faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. The family is still waiting for the trial, which begins in late October.
Meanwhile, Charles Jones, Aiyana's father, has been accused of aiding in the murder that police were investigating. He has been charged with first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison.
Detroit's millionaire Democratic Mayor Dave Bing released a statement following Weekley's arraignment, saying that the city "must use this difficult moment to continue bringing our community and police department together." But the Jones family has seen what it looks like when the police come together with—or rather, against—the community: terrorism.
In spite of the court system's foot-dragging, the Joneses have not given up hope for justice. In April 2012, Mertilla Jones made a statement to the press, saying, "I know it's people out there praying for us…While they're reaching out, I'm going to grab a hold of their hand. It's time for us to stand up and speak out for Aiyana."
Can you imagine how a man could shoot himself in the head while his hands have been double locked behind his back? Now imagine him shooting himself squarely in the right temple, when he is left-handed.
This seemingly impossible suicide is how Jonesboro, Arkansas police explain the death of twenty one year old Chavis Carter. On Saturday night he was placed in a patrol car because he had marijuana on his person. He also had a warrant for previous drug possession.
"As protocol, he was handcuffed behind his back, double-locked and searched" said Jonesboro Police Department Sgt. Lyle Waterworth. Yet minutes later he was shot in the head. The police claim that he had hidden a gun and had taken it out to shoot himself.
His mother, Teresa Chavis, thinks the police killed him. She says he wasn't suicidal and had just called his girlfriend to let her know what was happening. He told her he would call her from jail. Teresa wants to know what happened to her son.
The two officers who were present when Carter was shot were placed on administrative leave, but we cannot let that be the end of the story.
Tell the Jonesboro Police Department and the Jonesboro Mayor that the whole world is watching them. We expect a full investigation. Chavis's mother deserves to know exactly how her son died.
If it becomes clear that the police murdered this young man, they should not be put on "administrative leave" – they should be tried and sent to prison. Chavis was handcuffed behind his back and could not defend himself. As in the case of Trayvon Martin, jailing the killer will not reverse the death of a young man. But it will remind the world that we do not live in a country that ignores violence against African Americans.
Why do all these stories sound so damn familiar. Why do these things happen more often than we could ever fucking know. Why is it that we can't make people see what's happening to our people? We're being slaughtered like animals.. and the police get away with it like nothing happened. These pigs get away with it like nothing happened. Any cracker gets away with it like nothing happened.
"Now imagine him shooting himself squarely in the right temple, when he is left-handed."

AFTER NEARLY two years, authorities in San Joaquin County, Calif., have finally broken their silence surrounding the police murder of 16-year-old James Earl Rivera Jr., but predictably their 27-page report finds that police were "justified" in their use of lethal force against the African American teenager.
Rivera died in a hail of police gunfire on July 22, 2010, one day before his 17th birthday, but until July 11, Rivera's family had been denied access to all police reports, coroners' reports and "dash-cam" footage from the incident. If it wasn't for relentless public pressure organized by the family and their supporters—including weekly personal appeals to the city by Rivera's mother Dionne Smith-Downs—it's unlikely this report would have ever been produced.
Needless to say, the conclusions issued by San Joaquin County District Attorney James Willett haven't satisfied Smith-Downs' demand for justice for her son's death.
