How To Get A Metro-Style Start Menu And Start Button In Windows 8
Right since Windows 8 customer's preview was released, a wave of disappointment has been felt by several Windows fans with regards to the Metro UI. Actually, this disappointment is not for the Metro UI, but it is for the absence of the Start button, the most accustomed feature in Windows via which one accesses the different programs and utilities.
Now, to overcome this disappointment, a registry hack and a third-party tool called ViStart were introduced for those ardent Start Menu fans who desire to see the typical Start Orb and its menu in Windows 8. However, the former solution does not retain the Metro UI, while the latter option does not hold up the Aero Glass effect and also occasionally fails to pin programs and folders.

So, if you wish to have that Start Orb back and do not want to interact with the new Start Screen for accessing the installed apps and built-in utilities, then you might want to try the new Start8 app for Windows 8. Through this app, you can have your beloved Start Orb and yet open a Metro style Start Menu in Windows 8. So, let's explore this app in more detail!
Getting A Metro-Style Start Menu And Start Button In Windows 8
Digging out the Features of Start8
In Windows 7, the Metro-style Start Menu wasn't there at all. However, when you click the Windows 7-style Orb in Windows 8, the popping up menu displays the Apps section that you see on the Metro Start Screen. The menu by Start8 offers a search box to locate the system utilities, widgets, shortcuts to apps, and metro apps.
So, this menu facilitates searching and launching both metro and desktop apps quickly. If you compare Start8 with ViStart, you will know that the former has no icon overlapping issue, and that the Start Orb sits perfectly well in the bottom left corner, and that too, without any need of creating a new toolbar. In addition, the app adds the run, power, and Shutdown options in the context menu and allows selecting a custom image for the Start button.
It is commendable that the Start8 app does not disable any new functionality of Windows 8 Start Screen. However, it is vital to know that the Start8 menu never fully disables the new Start Screen that you can yet access from the Switch List. In short, Start8 works impeccably on both 32- and 64-bit versions.
Grabbing and Using a Free Copy of Start8
Yes, Start8 is a freeware! To grab your free copy, visit the URL http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/ wherein you must enter your e-mail address and click the Sign Up button. Doing so will process your e-mail address and will then offer you a download link. You can now download the app after which you can easily install it by simply clicking Next each time in its typical wizard.
After completing the installation, you will be able to see the Start Orb that is used almost billions of time in a day. Now, just click it and you will get to view a striking new Metro-styled Start menu. So, Start8 is really a nice to have although there might be some discrepancies with regards to the shortcut keys. Did you install this app? What was your experience? We would appreciate if you can share it with us.

Moscow-born Lila Tretikov has been made executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, responsible for overseeing the work of Wikipedia, Wiktionary and Wikiquote, as well as other wiki-projects.
The nonprofit organisation, based around the major internet encyclopaedia Wikipedia, has announced that the post of executive director will be filled by Lila Tretikov, former senior manager at SugarCRM. From the first of June Tretikov will replace current executive director Sue Gardner, taking up the role for the next 7 years. Gardner will remain at the organisation in an advisory capacity.
Tretikov will be responsible for the administration of Wikimedia.org, as well as overseeing strategy and performance. In response to her appointment, she described Wikipedia as "the sum of all human knowledge, freely accessible to all".
She is challenged with making the work of the encyclopaedia more transparent, and according to Jay Walsh, the organisation's press secretary, this will be her top priority. In October 2013 Wikipedia blocked around 250 entries which contained counterfactual information posted by writers to promote personal financial interests. "We never have and never will agree with using the site for advertising," said Walsh. The organisation also plans to concentrate on improving the mobile version of the encyclopaedia.
After graduating from Moscow State University, Lila Tretikov moved to the USA, continuing her studies at Berkeley. Over the next 15 years she worked at various tech companies, mainly involved in open source software. She began working for Sun Microsystems in 1999, founding the company GrokDigital soon after, which specialised in IT marketing, and spent 3 years as senior development director at Telespree. She moved to SugarCRM around 8 years ago.

Michigan's Allen Gant has moved from defensive back to strongside linebacker to give the Wolverines needed depth at the position.
Jake Ryan sustained a knee injury in the spring and isn't expected back until October at the earliest. In his absence, Gant can bolster the linebacker unit, and do so more for what he'll become than what he is today.
"He's a rangy guy and he's got length to him," coach Brady Hoke told the Ann Arbor News. "His body has the opportunity to put weight on, the structure and genetics of his body. I think that's the biggest part of it."
Gant, who is 6-foot-2 and 203 pounds, has the athleticism to be a natural fit at the linebacker position, the paper reports. Also at strongside linebacker for the Wolverines are junior Brennen Beyer who formally played defensive end, and senior Cam Gordon.
Gant redshirted last season, but is fully expected to push Beyer and Gordon in fall camp.

I know that people have issues with this film (I am planning on reading the book before it's release in August) but I am down with any movie where Viola Davis talks about making invisible women visible. Hopefully this will be Davis' second Oscar nominated performance. It may be that the featurette is better than the film, but it had me very interested.

OvaEasy Crystal Egg is a delicious, all-natural dried egg that tastes just like fresh eggs! Simply mix with water and cook as you would normally cook eggs. Ova Easy is all-natural, pure whole egg and requires no refrigeration until prepared.
About Nutriom company:
They've been working a on new food dehydration technology since 2001. They've invented a way of drying eggs so that they keep all of their fresh flavor and functionality. Their egg crystals are the only dehydrated egg that actually tastes just like fresh eggs. And since they focus on the fundamental processing technology itself, they don't need to add chemicals, preservatives or any other additives to their products. The eggs we produce are pure and 100% natural!
They're a small, family-owned company focused on developing food technologies. They believe we need to make better use of our resources as a society. One way to do that is to make their food last longer without compromising its taste or purity. That's what they work on.
Each pouch contains the equivalent of 1 dozen eggs
- Pkg. Net Weight: 4.5 oz
- Shelf life: 30 months unopened, 6 months after opening if stored in cool dry place. Shelf-life is measured from the date of production (not the day you order). Generally the product you receive should be at most no more than a few months old.
- Serving size: Each pouch is equivalent to 12 eggs
OvaEasy® Egg Crystals in Bags last for 2 1/2 years! *From time of production*
Note: Once bag is opened, no water has been added and the powder is in a sealed container the eggs will stay fresh for 6 months.
Most powdered eggs claim 5 - 10 years shelf-life, but is this really true? Not according to the American Egg Board:
"Plain whole egg solids [powdered egg] have a shelf life of about one month at room temperature and about a year at refrigerated temperatures." www.aeb.org
OvaEasy Egg Crystals have been specially processed using our unique technology to achieve long shelf-life. And since we're a military supplier, we use the US Army Labs shelf-life tests based on the most advanced academic research.
We've also used the same tests on regular powdered eggs and the results show significant degradation and browning after just 1.5 years of accelerated testing.
OvaEasy® Egg Crystals last for 7 years!
Most powdered eggs claim 5 - 10 years shelf-life, but is this really true? Not according to the American Egg Board:
"Plain whole egg solids [powdered egg] have a shelf life of about one month at room temperature and about a year at refrigerated temperatures." www.aeb.org
OvaEasy Egg Crystals have been specially processed using our unique technology to achieve long shelf-life. And since we're a military supplier, we use the US Army Labs shelf-life tests based on the most advanced academic research.
We've also used the same tests on regular powdered eggs and the results show significant degradation and browning after just 1.5 years of accelerated testing.
A lab analysis shows high levels of the molecules furasone, pyranose and pentosine. These molecules are by-products of 'browning' reactions (Maillard reactions) and other chemical reactions. These reactions severely degrade the nutritional value of the proteins in the egg powder.
A lot of academic research has been done on these browning reactions and they all show serious problems in nutrition and digestibility.
Not Convinced OvaEasy Eggs are good?
Read this review for the OvaEasy Eggs.
"The Maillard, or nonenzymatic browning reaction between reducing sugars and proteins is known to cause serious deterioration of the nutritional quality of foods during processing and storage." Physiological, Toxicological, and Nutritional Aspects of Various Maillard Browned Proteins
"... browning reactions of amino acids and proteins with carbohydrates, oxidized lipids, and oxidized phenols cause deterioration of food during storage and processing. The loss in nutritional quality and potentially in safety is attributed to destruction of essential amino acids, decrease in digestibility, inhibition of proteolytic and glycolytic enzymes, interaction with metal ions, and formation of antinutritional and toxic compounds." Food Browning and Its Prevention: An Overview
Our OvaEasy Egg Crystals last 7 years and we have the test results to prove it. Powdered eggs last 1 to 1.5 years at best before serious degradation and browning occurs.
This is part of the reason why the US Army and Navy no longer use old powdered eggs. Our soldiers deserve better...and so does your family.
So what's the difference between OvaEasy Egg Crystals and old powdered eggs?
Old powdered eggs (dehydrated eggs) are made with an old technology and taste bad! They're dried at such high temperatures that the taste of fresh eggs is ruined. Too much heat cooks the eggs during the drying process ... so when you go to cook them later, they end up being cooked twice! How can an egg that's cooked twice taste good?
OvaEasy Egg Crystals are made with a revolutionary new technology that keeps the flavor and nutrition of fresh eggs intact. All we do is gently evaporate the water in the eggs... that's it. Egg crystals aren't cooked until you cook them! They're dried with a special low temperature process that protects the proteins, vitamins and minerals... and most importantly the flavor! Best of all, they're 100% all-natural, pure whole egg.
Long-term food storage, camping and emergency food
What is OvaEasy good for? OvaEasy is ideal for long-term food storage, hiking and camping. It's shelf-stable for years with no refrigeration, takes up very little room and tastes just like fresh eggs!
OvaEasy comes in many different packaging configurations to suit your needs. It's canned in #10 cans for emergency food storage (7 year shelf-life) or packaged in individual pouches for camping (30 month shelf-life). We also have larger pouch sizes available for long term food storage without the cans or just to always have wholesome eggs on hand no matter the situation.
All-natural Egg Crystals
Have you ever heard of sun-dried tomatoes? We decided to take a hint from Mother Nature and copy her at her best. We've discovered a way to use the same principles that go into making sun-dried fruits and apply it to one of Mother Nature's most amazing foods...egg!
We start with wholesome fresh eggs and gently evaporate the water, leaving only little crystals of pure egg. That's why we call them egg crystals!
Other powdered eggs
Other dehydrated and powdered eggs are dried at very high temperatures. High temperature cooks the eggs during the drying process which is why they lose their fresh taste.
Our unique technology
Our process is special because it works at low-temperature and doesn't damage the flavor or functionality of the eggs. That way, when you go to cook our egg crystals later, they taste just like fresh eggs! All you need to do is add the water we evaporated back in and you're ready to go.
What about freeze-dried eggs?
Freeze-drying also dries with heat but starts with frozen egg instead. Freezing damages an egg's protein which also causes problems with flavor and functionality. That's why we only use fresh eggs, not frozen!

Customer Reviews — 5item(s)
- I ordered these on fri. and they were here mon. the first time I cook these I got them a little overdone, they did taste like powdered eggs. the next time I didn't overcook them and they were great! tasted just like fresh eggs. I was absolutely floored. both time I have eat them I have had the quick precooked microwave bacon, the perfect meal. next time, maybe I will make grits a toast or cook a bigger batch. either way I be eating more.
Fast Shipment
- I\'m a new customer here but have tried the ova easy eggs before and love them. also the prices are much better than other web sites with one of the fastest shipments I\'ve gotten yet.
- Today I tried Ova easy eggs breakfast skillet. I raise chickens and eat farm fresh eggs regularly so I was skeptical . I was very pleasantly suprised they were perfectly seasoned and needed no other seasoning, also if no one told me I would not have known the eggs were from a package. They were delicious and I would heartily recommend on flavor alone...
OvaEasy Eggs-4.5 oz pkg.
- This is real eggs! I am an egg lover, preparing eggs every day for breakfast in every way possible, so I think I speak with some expertise. OvaEasy\'s powdered eggs are excellent in every way. They taste like fresh-scrambled eggs and have the same consistency. I am amazed. My supply of OvaEasy packets was expiring soon, so I began preparing them daily instead of fresh eggs, and I do not miss my fresh eggs at all. I am now a believer in this company and its product, and I recommend it for everyday use, camping, emergency food supply, boating and cycling trips and more. Also, I have refrigerated the hydrated eggs for a day or two, and the mixture still produces perfect scrambled eggs or omelets. OvaEasy has no additives: nothing but good taste.
- We were unable to tell that these were not refrigerated fresh eggs when we ate them scrambled. We have all manner and form of dried eggs on hand...but these are much better. Practically speaking this product makes sense - instead of needlessly opening up a #10 can or squad sized MRE tray Yuk! of eggs, you can dole out useable portions in an emergency or take them camping. Yes, they initially cost about 2x as much as fresh - but they don\'t break and won\'t spoil for some time. Additionally you can get a year long supply in one shopping trip. Do get the #10 can for long term large quantity storage as well. We really mean it when we said they taste like fresh eggs.

Why Christians should vote
My blood pressure spiked recently when I read an election commentary on a popular evangelical website. The writer quoted extensively from a 1956 W.E.B. Du Bois essay and explained why the famed civil rights leader wouldn't vote in this election. In a nutshell: There is but one evil party with two names, so people of principle should vote by not voting.
Du Bois, the co-founder of the NAACP, would possibly have similar objections to our 2012 options, but it's important to note he was also an agnostic—not a Christian. Du Bois disparaged religious people, refused to pray when called upon to do so in public, and once said, "I think the greatest gift of the Soviet Union to modern civilization was the dethronement of the clergy and the refusal to let religion be taught in the public schools."
For a more Christian view on voting, we can look to leaders such as John Piper, who in a recent blog post made the case for going to the polls. He said the main good in not voting comes in talking about it, "so why not let the blogs roll down like rivers against the defects of it all, and then take a few minutes to vote anyway?"
Piper correctly points out that it's virtually impossible for two candidates to do exactly the same amount of good and evil once assuming office. Thus, we're left to prayerfully consider who would do the most good in the position. Piper's suggestion: "Tell as many people as you can the good reasons why you are disaffected with the whole thing; then go to the polls and take a burden-bearing, pro-active risk rather than staying home and taking a burden-dropping, reactive risk."
Another leading evangelical, John MacArthur, cautions against placing eternal hope in temporal politics but also encourages Christians to express their political beliefs in the voting booth. MacArthur said "pious apathy" toward government and politics reveals a lack of appreciation for the ability God has given us to enact civil change. "Complete noninvolvement would be contrary to what God's Word says about doing good in society," he wrote on his ministry's website, noting Galatians 6:10 and Titus 3:1-2. "It would also display a lack of gratitude for whatever amount of religious freedom the government allows us to enjoy."
A glance across the country reveals those religious freedoms are quickly disappearing (for example, see the rash of lawsuits against the Obama administration's contraceptive mandate or a college administrator coming under fire for signing a petition to allow a vote on same-sex "marriage"), and we have a stark contrast at the ballot box.
It may be true that W.E.B. Du Bois wouldn't have voted in this election, but Christians should.

News on Bulaga can't be to good if they are considering Sherrod.Hide replies
I don't think this has anything to do with Bulaga. If they feel Sherrod is ready to practice, why not give him the 3 week window to see if he can help. They could lose Newhouse, Bulaga or someone else over the next 3 weeks and then Sherrod becomes very important.
They had Bill Romanowski on sportscenter today talking about hip injuries. He played with a few during his career and said they were extremely painful. And this is coming from a guy that took steroids. I hope Bulaga can be back before the end of the season.
Could be, but it also might have to do with Newhouse's performance so far.
Or, it could just be that it doesn't cost them anything to see if Sherrod can develop in those 3 weeks. They don't have to activate him, they can just put him on IR. If he's able, why wouldn't they get him the reps and give him the opportunity to improve?
This comment has been deleted.
dpf is right, why just IR the guy if you can get him some reps?
Because if he's not completely ready then he is more likely to suffer a setback.
But even if he's not ready this week, but could be next, you have to activate him off of the PUP to open that 3 week window. Otherwise, he's headed to IR. At least by activating him, there's a chance, and at the very worst, he can get reps.
Buck, taking a flier here, your initials aren't BB, are they?
This is the second article I've seen on Sherrod in the past week or so and they said in both articles that the Packers could activate him, put him on IR, or waive him. Waive him? really? Is that really an option that TT would consider? Why the heck would they waive him when they could put him IR if he's not ready? I might just be being picky but it annoys me to no end that the JSO would even entertain that, I don't know why.Hide replies
they're not gonna waive him, the article just states that they could...
They're not going to waive Greg Jennings either, but they could. See what I mean? The whole could waive him thing (regarding Sherrod) is ridiculous.
They're not "entertaining" it, they are just stating all the options the Packers have, no matter how outlandish.
Yeah, its kinda silly to include that phrase when talking about 1st rounders, it aint like hes some nobody that they scarfed off Clevelands practice squad...
If Sherrod hits the 53 who do they move?Hide replies
That extra RB/FB they have on their roster. What's his name......
Johnny White; RB.
Activating Sherrod to the three week window is a good sign.
Because they have been overseeing his recovery; and if he wasn't ready to at least
practice they would just put him on IR, and not take a chance on him regressing by
'overdoing it' in practice.
This is a good sign, because they need him.
B.T.W. - Anyone else out there see how seamlessly E.D.S. took Lang's place?
The Cardinals interior d-linemen are no slouches.
I think it's time to consider him for a starting pot. - (Certainly for the starting center next year). Saturday, (to me), is showing his age.Hide replies
I agree, and was also impressed with how well Lang did at RT. When Bulaga makes it back (hopefully this year) they might want to consider bringing him inside, swapping positions with Lang, and putting EDS at center.
Do I have this right...the backup OL heading into the Lions game will be Van Roten and Andy Datko? Or Barclay?
That's all the reason you need to understand why Sherrod will be pushed as hard as possible the next few weeks. The trade deadline is gone and there's no such thing as a quality street free agent at this time of year. An injury to Newhouse, Lang or Sitton at this point would be devastating.

Seattle may be back in play for the NBA's Sacramento Kings after an arena deal there fell through.
A dizzying day of activity Friday left the Sacramento Kings' future more uncertain than ever, increasing the prospects that the NBA team could move, with Seattle one possible destination.
The death of an apparent deal struck in February between team owners the Maloof family and the city of Sacramento intended to keep the team there sent shock waves from Northern California to New York and Seattle.
Friday's development suddenly improves the chances of Chris Hansen — the San Francisco hedge-fund manager who wants to build an arena for NBA and NHL teams in Seattle — acquiring the Kings.
Hansen, a Seattle native who has preached patience throughout the process, declined to comment specifically on the Kings situation.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite

"However, these developments are a reminder that franchise opportunities may arise quickly and in an unpredictable fashion," he said in a statement. "And so we should continue with our joint efforts to find an 'Arena Solution' that best works for our City, County and the various constituents of our community and in as timely a fashion as is feasible to ensure we are in a position to take advantage of an inevitable opportunity when it arises."
The collapse of the deal left both Sacramento and the Maloofs scrambling.
The Kings released a one-sentence statement that ended: "At the conclusion of a meeting this afternoon with Mayor Johnson, he advised us that there is nothing to be gained by continued discussions at this time."
Johnson, in a separate news conference, fired back. "Is the deal dead as we know it? Absolutely," said the former NBA player, adding that the Maloofs "were coming up with reasons why not to do the deal."
NBA Commissioner David Stern said he believes the Maloof family wants to keep the team in Sacramento. But Stern also said they have a right to re-examine the deal, and the league can do nothing to broker a new one.
"I think it's fair for the Maloofs to say they don't want to do that," Stern said at a news conference after two days of NBA owners' meetings in New York. "If they had done it simpler, earlier or more directly, it could have saved a lot of angst and trouble."
There's a long way to go before Seattle fans should start saving up to buy tickets. But the developments increased the possibility the Maloofs could put the team up for sale if they decide continuing to operate in Sacramento isn't an option. The Maloofs also might seek to move the team to Anaheim, Calif., although that could be blocked by the NBA, forcing their hand.
Relocating to Anaheim could meet strong resistance from the current Los Angeles-area franchises. The Lakers and Clippers might not want a third NBA team in their market.
How deal collapsed
The Kings nearly moved to Anaheim after last season before agreeing to stay this season while Sacramento tried to put together a plan to replace Power Balance Pavilion (formerly Arco Arena).
The city and the Maloofs had reached a tentative deal to fund a $391 million arena that would open for the 2015-16 season in the downtown Sacramento rail yards. The Sacramento City Council already passed its end of the deal, brokered by the league and tentatively agreed to by the Kings.
Joe, Gavin and George Maloof have since taken issue with some of the terms — particularly environmental and predevelopment costs. Under the agreement, the Kings and arena operator AEG each agreed to pay about $3.25 million in predevelopment costs with the city paying the remaining $6.5 million.
The Maloofs made a presentation to NBA owners Thursday, which they shared at a separate news conference Friday. As evidence of how the tide on the issue had turned, the Maloofs proposed renovating Sacramento's Power Balance Pavilion, something they had opposed for years.
Johnson said a renovation would not get assistance from the city.
"If they choose to renovate on their own and use private dollars, that's certainly their prerogative," he said. "I don't know what the Maloofs plan to do. I know they don't plan to honor their commitment to a downtown arena."
During their news conference, the Maloofs said they liked Sacramento, but insisted the arena project was too expensive. George Maloof said they had given the city a list of concerns that needed to be addressed before they could commit to such a major deal.
While Stern said the Kings would play in Sacramento next season, he wouldn't speculate where they would play beyond that. If they seek to relocate, the commissioner said approval would be left to the relocation committee headed by Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett. Bennett bought the Sonics in 2006 for $350 million and moved them to Oklahoma City in 2008.
Due diligence
As chances increased that Sacramento might move, another NBA team with an uncertain future announced an agreement to stay put. The New Orleans Hornets reached a deal with the owner of the NFL's Saints, Tom Benson, to buy the team and keep it in Louisiana.
Seattle officials, meanwhile, said their focus remains getting an arena deal done that could lure a team. The Metropolitan King County Council is scheduled to be briefed Monday morning from Lenny Wilkens and Jan Drago, co-chairs of the Arena Advisory Panel that was asked by Mayor Mike McGinn to gather information and make a recommendation. It will be the first time the full council takes up the issue.
County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer said the news out of Sacramento gives local decision-makers reasons to go slow and remain careful rather than rush a proposed deal.
"Sacramento is a cautionary light rather than a green light," von Reichbauer said. "Sacramento is an opportunity. It's also a reminder of how important due diligence is, because the owners had an agreement with the NBA and backed out. It shows the importance of a clearly understood legal agreement."
McGinn and King County Executive Dow Constantine are expected to send legislation to the city and county councils this month, requesting approval of a memorandum of understanding between the city, county and Hansen's ArenaCo group. Hansen has requested that the councils approve legislation by early June.
Hansen has said he has several local investors interested in joining him to bring an NBA franchise to Seattle and help build a $490 million, 18,000-seat arena for pro basketball and hockey. Hansen wants taxpayers to pitch in $200 million in construction bonds, which he says would be repaid by revenue from the arena.
Hansen is paying for a study on the traffic impact of a new arena in Sodo. That study is expected to be completed next month.
Von Reichbauer said "the devil is in the details," such as the traffic study, but he credited Hansen with quickly paying for it.
"My primary take-away from Sacramento is how important it is to build a relationship between Mr. Hansen, the city and the county on a solid foundation so everyone knows what they're getting into," said von Reichbauer.
Seattle Times staff reporters Lynn Thompson and Bob Young, and The Associated Press also contributed to this article.

Senate President Jeff Atwater tapped newly elected state Sen. Joe Negron to chair the Judiciary Committee, a plumb post for the freshman senator.
Atwater made few other changes in the committee line-up, leaving most chairmen in place in what for many will be their last legislative session because of term limits.
Negron, a former House member, won a special election last month fill former Senate President Ken Pruitt's District 28 seat. Pruitt, R-Port St. Lucie, abruptly left office on the last day of the legislative session early in May.
Negron will serve the final 15 months of Pruitt's Senate term and face reelection in 2010.
Negron, an attorney who served in the state House from 2000 to 2006, gained national attention when the GOP recruited him at the last minute to replace scandal-tainted U.S. Rep. Mark Foley. Negron narrowly lost the race to Democrat Tim Mahoney, who was later defeated by Republican Tom Rooney.

EU Receives Nobel Peace Prize: Watch The Full Farce
Need a quick and amusing pick up to start off another dreary, centrally-planned week? Well... "You asked for miracles, Theo, I give you the full of pomp and circumstance ceremony of the European Union receiving the Nobel Peace Prize."
And the humor does not stop there: here is the full draft of Gollum's acceptance speech.

Well deserved!
Had it not been for the EU, there would have been riots and high unemployment in Greece and Spain.
it was pre-cog prize ahead of EU stopping riots that they caused. the future was seen and is bright.

Lost for words I'm afraid.
All the traits of pure genius except intelligence...
Somehow Hitler and Stalin did not get but H. Kissinger and terrorist Begin got the Nobel Peace Prizes. So, IMHO, the Nobel Prize awarding committee decisions are well balanced. As for EU member countries, the former colonial gangsters are doing everything in their power to regain their past colonial glory slaughtering civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, etc. as well as helping midlevel regimes in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, etc., to suppress their own people and promote their radical Islamic terrorism all around world. The inventor of dynamite must be proud of the Nobel Prize awarding committee and its deeds promoting peace and understanding between people.

The clip, recently posted on YouTube, displays a child using a sword to chop off the head of the kidnapped whose hands are tied up.
The incident is believed to have taken place in the western city of Homs, located about 160 kilometers north of the capital, Damascus.
The video also displays one of the militants at the scene showing the severed head and placing it on the dead body.
Other beheaded prisoners can also be seen in the footage. However, the identities of the victims are not known.
Experts say the Arabic language spoken by the militants does not belong to Syrian people and they are believed to have Saudi accents.
On November 29, a similar footage surfaced online displaying foreign-backed militants in the country killing 10 unarmed Syrian prisoners.
This is "the Democracy and Peace" presently promoted by EU.
I don't follow this stupid price giving since the prez of the Terrorist States of America has been rewarded with that crap.
Aahhh, the beauty of no 2nd Amendment,,,we just chop your head off or gouge your eyes out!!! Civilzation at last! Maybe the next Noble Piece of Pies will be issued to Bloodstock. Ah yes ladies and gentlemen, I said it here and I thank you very much for this horror, er, uh, I mean honor. Tank you, tank you very, very much. Tank you!
Some animals or more equal than others....
Pigs will be pigs.
And finally
Hogs get fat while pigs get slaughtered. or is is Pigs get fats while hogs get slaughtered.
Next thing you know they'll award the prize to someone who discovers a revolutionary powerful new explosive.
Such as the atomic bomb, which saved so many american lives at the end of WWII. Give me some Tsar Bombas and peace will rule the world forever, since no rocks have been known to wage war among themselves.
the award makes no sense until you realize the other two finalists were Than Shwe and OJ Simpson
Screwing over an entire continent for the sake of the banksters gets you the peace prize?
Maybe they meant "piece" prize? As in, the bankers will always get their piece?
If you can get a peace prize for bombing the shit out out of poor brown people why shouldn't you be able to get one for screwing poor white people?
sorry Tyler, could'nt watch it! when I started the video I had to stop it to go vomit :(
he's actually done a lot more for peace
WB7, excellent as usual!
Would like to see the monkey accepting the "Nobel"?
Only zerohedge would reference hans gruber from die hard. Love it!!
Good catch.
Sounds like the committee is taking a page out of George Castanza's "do the opposite of whatever makes sense" playbook....
Sorry... just had lunch ... may watch it later on an empty stomach.
This is like giving a peace prize to the Treaty of Versailles...in 1933.
Or naming Hitler Time magazine Man of the Year in 1938....oh wait, they did that too.
Consistency....Current POTUS received it and unleahed the drones on the world. Hell, he justifies killing good people to get the "Bad Guys" and he is the only and ultimate decider. Obama is like the emperor of Rome at the coliseum with thumbs up or down.
LOL. Would only be more ridiculous if they gave it to themselves, which as bureaucratic cronies they in a sense did.
Don't despair.. how much would it cost to save the European Union? Answer : four 9mm bullets, that is not much. Barroso, Von Rompuy, Martin Schulz, Juncker, bang bang bang bang and we're de-slaved!
Time to rejoice!
The whole show has just become too disgusting to watch anymore.
it's getting even more disturbing isn't it. The psychological part. They know it's getting close and they're making these pathetic counter gestures that no longer worry how absurd they look. It's like declaring a holiday after a food famine in North Korea. It can't be a good sign
We all know it's made of tungsten.
Spainiards and Greeks huddle around a dumpster and small fire throwing rose petals at their feet as they accept the award.
So Tyler, speaking of top ticking does this mean another European war is around the corner?
Just want to say - +1000, 000 for the awesome Die Hard reference! :D
Well now the EU can be making plans for Nigel. Poor guy.
Bombing women and children by consensus is still bombing women and children. Silly EU.
Killing innocent women and children will eventually lead to peace -you just have to kill enough of them. Works every time.
More great videos by the EU propaganda machine:
I don't know they got some pretty hot women...oh wait..you said Nobel "Peace" Prize....Nevermind
Is this a joke? Obama and now the EU? Can we posthumously award papa Joe Stalin the Nobel Peace prize? He was instrumental in defeating Hitler - shouldnt that qualify him for the award? Now I see why the Prize was named after the inventor of dynamite. Its orwellian Doublespeak.
The EU beat out Assad by 3 lousy votes. Farrakhan came 3rd. Biden would have been 4th, but they found him toe-tapping in the mens loo... again.
Certainly you meant POS Prize
Twilight Zone act:2
Look on the bright side.
In less than two weeks in paul krugmans best voice, we will all be free from this zionist scourge on the face of humanity.
Yes, the elites who control Europe have, at least temporarily, realized they can all make obscene profits without resorting to killing each other. Unions such as the EU can inflict economic warfare on its citizens, whithout the need for state-sanctioned bloodshed. The larger the union, the more debt can be foisted onto the weak and powerless without their approval.

Inspiration: Hitachino Beer
How many a mind has found inspiration in a bottle of beer? No doubt there's a long line before us, but perhaps we're one of the few who can say it literally. While knocking back a few at Monk's Kettle, we realized the label of our Hitachino White Ale had just the colors we'd like to use in a kitchen...Le Creuset pots, would be worked in as well. And we have a great navy kimono with a little apple pattern that could be repurposed as cushions for the dining room chairs - yet another nod to the Japanese beer. Would you want to style a room around this bottle? How would you do it?

Child-like faith
It's just after lunch on a Tuesday, and Crossroads Baptist Church is finally quiet. The morning has been punctuated by singing, crying, and squealing and not because there's a healing service going on. Instead, it's just another day at CBC Daycare, and the center's little charges are finally down for a nap.
Louis Baldwin, the pastor, started the church's day-care center 2 years ago when he saw the need for affordable alternatives for working mothers in Bailey's Crossroads, a Washington suburb with a fast-growing minority population. He's proud that Crossroads is the only predominantly black church in the area offering a day-care ministry, and he understands why the issue is likely to resonate with black voters.
Mr. Baldwin estimates that 15 years ago in the white suburban church where he came to Christ, perhaps three-quarters of the women were stay-at-home moms. At Crossroads, by contrast, at least 90 percent of mothers work outside the home. Moreover, about half the women in the church are rearing children on their own. With those kinds of pressures, black mothers are desperate for day-care options, Mr. Baldwin says.
Not that the government makes it easy for churches to meet the need. Social-service workers deployed in the public schools wonÕt recommend Crossroads because of the center's religious affiliation. Such an anti-religious bias will likely permeate President Clinton's sweeping new child-care proposals, though details are sketchy at this point.
Child-care subsidies that prohibit religious activities could hurt church-run ministries in the long run. Parents of children at the CBC Daycare center 75 percent of whom are not church members don't mind that their kids squirm through 30 minutes of Bible stories and songs every day. But would they pay for those Bible stories out-of-pocket, if Uncle Sam were willing to foot part of the bill for day-care devoid of David and Goliath or Adam and Eve?

Anyone here have any experience using a Mavic derailleur with 8spd STI? I've looked around and can't find a real answer. Do I need a Shiftmate? Which one?
Looking to see if I can put some new life into this:
Anyone here have any experience using a Mavic derailleur with 8spd STI? I've looked around and can't find a real answer. Do I need a Shiftmate? Which one?
Looking to see if I can put some new life into this:
Is this a cassette? or a freewheel? What Brand? Do you have STI now or are you wanting to put STI on the bike? Do you have the parts laying around or were you going to buy them?
Chances are good it isn't going to work with shimano STI levers but it depends on your cassette/freewheel.
If you have a freewheel then I would recommend skipping this upgrade and just building with a new drivetrain to 9/10s with new wheels. An 8s freewheel wasn't long for this world when new and now are kinda like bigfoot. Also the indexes shifts wouldn't be real crisp.
If you have a cassette and the parts on hand then assuming the cassette and shifters are matched, then you can always just try it. It may or may not work and last time I checked shiftmate didn't make anything for Mavic, so if it doesn't work just plan on a new RD. Not all that expensive in the general scheme of things.
If you have to purchase all the parts then its another vote for just replacing the entire drive train, including hubs, for 9/10s.
Or buying a new bike (n+1).
1984 Cannondale ST
1985 Cannondale SR300
1980 Gary Littlejohn Cruiser
1984 Trek 760
1981 Trek 710
I Have one if those , Mavic 851, it's much more efficient in motion, sideways,
for cable pull than all the slant pantograph
type derailleurs, that are all the current offerings.
I use bar end friction shifters, on my bike. Campag 1012/3 to be specific
If you envy indexing derailleur systems,
I'd suggest you just buy into the whole index set,as a whole
strip down the frame. and buy the entire groupset.
and build it up with current index stuff ,
[or buy a new bike, 8 speed is last century]
or just learn how your elders won races over their entire careers,
on friction shifted Derailleurs
By developing the manual skills to shift the bike
so as to use classic components.

I don't think the Mavic 851 SSC RD was ever designed to work with indexed levers. It's the next, newer model (the 840) that did have the indexed feature. You can always experiment and see if the 851 will work with indexed levers, but it could be a long shot.
I know that the 851 does work best with Mavic/Simplex retrofriction (non-indexed) levers though, as I have them on two bikes set up as such at seven speeds. Not sure if it has enough movement range to handle another speed though, as it feels close to being stretched at seven already
Last edited by Chombi; 11-10-10 at 06:35 PM.
I just discovered today (after twenty years of searching out this problem) that the 840's have *two* ways of running the cable: One, through a guidehole, for six speed cassettes; and another *around* that same guide, for seven and eight speeds. My 840, which indeed was indexed, never shifted properly, until I figured this out, as I could tweak it for one range or another, but not for both. So this one is perhaps not designed for index, as all that design was pretty specific.
I would think that non-index saves you a world of problems, not the least of which was above. Also, because of the indexing issue, they were designed for Mavic shifters AND rear cassette. As I remember, when Mavic began to stop producing parts, they offered a free (what's it called?) freebody, to allow the cassette to accommodate Shimano. So, again, some pretty detailed stuff to work with non-Mavic stuff. Non-indexing should make things much simpler.
Here's a great blog for Mavic interest: http://www.tearsforgears.com/2006/05...erailleur.html
that rear derailer definitely looks pre-indexing. note that the Mavid RD that Donzie is talking about is the standard "slant paralellogram" design, not the type that the OP is asking about.
To the OP: you'll need to do friction shifting, or just get a different rear derailer. Shimano index-compatible rear derailers are all over the place used, for cheap. There's no way (or VERY low likelihood) the derailer pictured will shift with a consistent throw across cogs.
I ran those 851 SSC derailleurs for years...they're light, easily rebuilt, simple and very durable. But they aren't meant for indexing. Like someone stated previously, you could try it, but it would be a longshot. If you want a really cool, retro set-up...find yourself a pair of old Kronos carbon friction shifters!
I like bikes.

My limiting magnitude prohibits me from really doing much here, but sure I'll help if they add me to their books as an official asteroid hunter! That would go great on my resume...
Posted 26 June 2013 - 09:13 AM
The situation has been made to sound really threatening in the media and some circles, but let's look at the reality. No city-killer magnitude event has been known to have actually occurred (i.e. a ground-strike) in thousands of years. In fact, not even a truly confirmed major ground impact in a sparcely populated region is known definitely to have happened in the course of man's entire recorded history!
Yes, there is an minute element of danger from these celestial wanders, but to be quite honest the odds of anything significant actually happening are so vanishingly small I often wonder about all the hype that surrounds it. Might not there even be some disguised funding/profit motive behind it all?
Posted 27 June 2013 - 01:23 AM
They don't have to to be "city killers" and that's the problem. Even the SMALL ones have more energy than most would have predicted. I know for a fact that several Russia sized explosions, possibly bigger have occurred over uninhabited areas and they were picked up by the network of microphones used buy the government to detect nuclear tests.
Its not a matter of if, but WHEN will a small on hit a city. Eventually one big enough will come along that doesn't even have to be near a populated area because the resulting blast/tsunami will be enough to cause catastrophic damage miles away. Some have predicted that a small meteor explosion over a country like Pakistan, India, North Korea or Iran could result in hostilities due to believing the explosion is an attack.
It rediculous that the US spends so much money on "terrorism" prevention and detection for an even that may never occur due to rediculous levels of security but won't even invest in the technology to detect and event that WILL definitely occur and cannot be prevented with any amount of diplomacy and propaganda.
Posted 27 June 2013 - 03:22 AM
It rediculous that the US ... won't even invest in the technology to detect and event that WILL definitely occur and cannot be prevented with any amount of diplomacy and propaganda.
There are two issues:
- it is not possible to justify spending large $ on something unless you can mitigate or eliminate the hazard.
- something that WILL occur isn't a risk anymore - it's a certainty.
Even if an impending collision is identified, even an extinction event, there is NOTHING we can do to mitigate the consequences. No-one has demonstrated anything that actually has a ghost of a chance of changing the outcome.
It is hard enough to convince a government to pour big $ into something when there is a reasonable goal in sight. But in circumstances where they CANNOT change the outcome in any meaningful way, it gets much harder. Read: impossible.
Posted 27 June 2013 - 10:15 AM
Posted 28 June 2013 - 01:34 PM
There have been several recorded events in modern history that would have caused a minimum of thousands of casualties had they occurred over populated areas.
They don't have to to be "city killers" and that's the problem. Even the SMALL ones have more energy than most would have predicted. I know for a fact that several Russia sized explosions, possibly bigger have occurred over uninhabited areas and they were picked up by the network of microphones used buy the government to detect nuclear tests.
Indeed, there have been events that have occurred over vast unpopulated regions and the oceans from time to time. BUT until very recently there have been no recorded instances of truly destructive events actually having occurred near/over significantly populated areas in thousands of years. This, to me, says that the potential for such events occurring over population centers is extremely low overall. Currently we can fairly safely assume nearly all the "planet-killers" have been found. So the remaining danger comes from the much smaller bodies yet to be spotted. Let's put this danger into some proper perspective.
I'll give you, based on history, that within the next thousand years the odds are very good that another Chelyabinsk-sized event will indeed occur over some large world city.
At the same I will essentially guarantee you that within just the next twenty-five years some large population center will be devastated by a huge earthquake. Another will experience a disastrous typhoon/cyclone/hurricane hit, while yet still a further one will fall victim to a major tsunami, or volcano. One might even say that there is a reasonably great chance for a modest-sized nuclear event near or within a large world city! In each case, the loss of life and property will be as great, or more likely far greater, than that from a meteoroid event.
I can fully anticipate a host of events that will surely befall mankind in the very short term which deserve vastly more attention and funding than do meteoroid impact/air-burst events.

AUBURN, Ala., November 21. THE Auburn Tigers top-ranked men's and women's swimming and diving teams combined to clock the fastest time in every swimming event and took the top score in two out of four diving events as AU downed Alabama in two dual meets on Friday night in the James E. Martin Aquatics Center.
The two-time defending NCAA champion women were victorious by a 134-92 count while the NCAA champion men won by a final score of 149-77.
"I think Alabama brings out the best in all Auburn people," AU Coach David Marsh said. "I have to give a lot of credit to the crowd. Swimmers don't always see crowds of that size at a dual meet and I think they responded real well to it. We saw a few life-time best times out there and we are showing that we are getting better."
Freshman Adrienne Binder etched her name in the AU books in the meet's second event as the Santa Barbara, Calif., product recorded a school-record 9:41.38 in the 1,000 freestyle, bettering teammate Magda Dyszkiewicz' three-year old record by just under two full seconds (9:43.30).
Nate Knopf had perhaps the meet's most exciting swim of the night as the junior from Louisville, Ky., came back from a significant time deficit to win the 1,000 freestyle with a time of 9:18.07, just out-touching 'Bama's J.T. Jones (9:18.21).
Margaret Hoelzer, who hails from Huntsville, Ala., registered her first automatic NCAA time of the year with a 1:47.09 in the 200 freestyle. Heather Kemp, the 2003 NCAA Champion in the event, also collected her first NCAA time in the same event, placing second with a 1:47.36.
Other women to collect automatic times were Eileen Coparropa in the 100 freestyle (49.35) and Jeri Moss in the 200 backstroke (1:58.23).
On the men's side, the Tigers claimed one-two finishes in six different individual events. George Bovell (1:38.09) and Wesley Flatt (1:38.84) accomplished the feat in the 200 freestyle with NCAA provisional times while Ryan Wochomurka (20.30) and Fred Bousquet (20.59) did the same in the 50 freestyle, with Wochomurka collecting a provisional time.
Chad Barlow rounded out the men's provisionals with a first-place time of 1:47.12 in the 200 backstroke.
In the diving well, Andrew Sivulka claimed a first-place victory with a 323.47on the 1-meter and a second-place score on the 3-meter (325.05).
"It is great to see Andrew Sivulka come back with such great enthusiasm and talent," AU Diving Coach Jeff Shaffer said. "I can tell he is going to be a huge contributor come SEC and NCAA time."
The victory was the 37th straight dual meet win for the women and the 19th consecutive for the men.

The latest film from Neil Jordan is called The Brave One, but I'd be willing to bet money that the working title was The Stranger, since the word stranger is used repeatedly throughout the film to describe the alienated condition of the main character, a sotto voce radio personality played by Jodie Foster who turns into a piece-packing thrill-killer after being beaten nearly to death by some punks in Central Park and seeing her fiancé murdered by the same punks. That premise is oddly dated, of course, thanks to the extreme Disneyfication of New York City in the 90s, and The Brave One isn't brave or creative enough to simply posit an alternate 2007 in which those reforms never happened. Instead, the pre-existing societal ills that fuel Foster's character are laid out during a radio commentary she gives over the opening credits: chief among them is the fact that the Plaza Hotel is being closed down and her memories of Eloise are being tarnished! This is Death Wish meets Sex and the City, with all the seriousness that implies.
By choosing not to paint a portrait of a New York roiled by crime again -- at one point, a radio caller notes that the emergence of the vigilante is actually welcome, since New York has become so dull -- the film has little recourse except to make Foster's character one of the most unlucky people alive: after the brutal beating and murder in the park by a small gang of hoods -- her fiancé is played in a few early scenes by Naveen Andrews -- she becomes, in short order, the victim of knife-wielding, would-be rapists on the subway, walks in on a first-degree murder in progress and must defend herself against the killer, and happens upon a murderous pimp who mistakes her for a hooker. It's like a blood-and-guts version of that Lindsay Lohan movie where the main character's luck inexplicably turns to pot overnight. As long as the film has trouble looking for Foster instead of Foster looking for trouble, it's not saying much, really. It's only when her character starts to enjoy the violence that things start to get (mildly) interesting. Co-starring with Foster is a homicide detective played by Terrence Howard, who happens to be in the hospital when she is first brought in after the beating. His awareness of her as a semi-celebrity causes him to peep in on her hospital room, and the vivid memory of her face, bruised up like purple bacon, forges some kind of subconscious connection between them that carries through the rest of the picture. After she's well, she learns of his assignment to her case and begins to track his movements, activity which he notices and at first chalks up to the routine curiosity of a semi-journalist. Neil Jordan has little choice except to try to make this relationship the film's strong suit, but it's too uneven and too low energy to build up either genuine tension or emotional resonance.
We've all seen this kind of character dynamic played out many times before, in better films -- eventually the cop will be brought along to the point where he has to either implicitly endorse or put a stop to the vigilante's criminal ride. For all its shortcomings, the picture is well-lensed by Philippe Rousselot, who shot Jordan's Interview with the Vampire and worked with Foster on the tepid Civil War mystery Sommersby. There's no jelly on the lens here -- 45 year-old Foster allows the camera to shoot her in extreme close-up for long stretches at a time, and holds up well under the scrutiny. As for Jordan, there's no real directorial malpractice that we can pin on him -- he seems to have done the best he could with what is ultimately substandard genre fare. The Brave One is a picture that rests on a weird foundation -- it desperately wants to have been made 25 years ago -- and it makes occasional grabs at relevance but then realizes how unattainable that goal is and settles in for more bang-bang moments. Those going into this film expecting some kind of corollary to Foster's other film about random violence, The Accused, will be disappointed for the simple reason that that was a serious film, and this is not.
Public TIFF screenings for The Brave One will be held Thursday, September 6th at 9pm and Friday, September 7th at 11:45am.

Rowan had a short interview with Robert Green about EF6 on Chanel 9 at TechEd North America.
We saw some great new content about the new features in EF6:
Arthur Vickers addressed the common confusion around Database initializer and Migrations Seed methods.
Julie Lerman blogged about Private Constructors and Private Setters and Entity Framework Power Tool Tips to View Model (A Feature I Depend On!).
Richard Broida wrote about using Entity Framework with F# and Windows Azure.
Rowan Miller covered Running EF T4 Code Generation Templates from Command Line and how to deal with the following error introduced in VS2012 Update 1 - Processor named 'T4VSHost' could not be found for the directive named 'CleanupBehavior'.
Brian Sullivan blogged about Entity Framework Code-First Performance Issue with String Queries.

Hi all,
Can anyone explain to me how the throttle works on this kit? I'm going to get a left-hand twist since my right side has a twist for my IGH. My kit will be a 26" front wheel conversion.
Does the throttle have distinct steps or an analog range? Does the twist return to center (no throttle) when released? My concern is going to be braking with this kit installed. I'd just like to know how this is going to operate. Thank you.
Finally, I see speed posted for this kit (with 36V battery) as being about 20 MPH, but it isn't clear if that is assisted speed or not. Can anyone clarify? Thank you.

Opening Battle Cat!
Here's a long, rambling, incoherent, sloppy camera worked, badly cropped, annoying autofocus sound, and poorly choreographed opening of He-Man and Battle cat toy review! A pretty cool toy. They look so authentic to the original show. Battle Cat might be a bit too large, as his joints give in a bit. He-man sits kind of funny too on him. Overall though, probably top ten toy ever made.
