Hi all,
This week's poll is about news that Windows 8 is getting off to an "awkward" start. Discuss here if you've used Windows 8 yet, and, if you like, the poll results themselves.
I hear Microsoft is internally disappointed in Win8's market performance, and that they blame their hardware partners. I blame their attempts at mimicking Apple's policies and their one UI to rule them all.
Just yesterday, my wife complained about the new version of Word she must use at the office. Microsoft insists on changing things unnecessarily. This causes folks to relearn how to accomplish a task that they were able to do before.
This is part of the reason why business doesn't upgrade as often as MS would like.
I have no hands on experience with 8 yet, but from what I read, it is a major change in the interface. This may be good for mobile devices but, IMO, a touch screen on a desktop is of no use. Guess I am just an old fashioned user.
My experience of Windows 8 is positive. It makes far better use of limited hardware than Windows 7 or Vista, and I like the Metro apps. It has revived a low-powered laptop, which was a pain to use under Vista.
I think it will take a while to gain large market share, mainly because 7 is so good. 7 had the advantage of following XP and Vista, neither of which cut it to my mind.
It's like M$ is putting all their eggs in the mobile device basket & abandoning desktop users.
I have a gov't job & we have 100's of users in my building alone, over 10,000 users state-wide, & that's just one agency. Now multiply that by 50 states. We're still running XP & as far as I know, we have no plans to upgrade in the immediate future. With the budget crunch & the cost of upgrading the hardware, software, not to mention training involved, I don't see it happening anytime soon. Then again, with XP support ending in April 2014, I'd think we'd have to make a move "sooner rather than later". And even if we did, my guess is we'd go with Win7 over Win8.
Image how much the gov't would save if they went with Linux & open source software rather than Microsoft or Apple products. Actually, it may have already begun:
U.S. Navy turns to Linux to run its drone fleet
I think Mint is the best Linux distro out there right now & it just keeps getting better & better. Vista pushed me into the world of Linux, Win8 may keep me there permanently.
Linux Mint 14 released: It's like Windows 8, minus the bad bits
I think the fix for win 8 is very simple.
Let user choose the UI. Make the UI selection a necessary option for every win 8 application.
You know the real meaning of peace only if you have been through the war.
OtheHill: Microsoft insists on changing things unnecessarily.
I assume they change the UI because that's how users recognize change.
Was there a link there at the end? Comes up with Computing.Net file not found on mine.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Huh, the address got mangled. Not sure how that happened, but it's fixed now.
I've not used Win8.
Just the same I am wondering if it might be the start of the contraction of forums such as this. To some extent this might have already started with Windows 7. I can still recall the depths we used to go to on here in the old Win 31 and 9x days.
With System Refresh and Factory Reset thrown in on Win 8, users should be able to get around many or most software issues.
Folk are mostly prepared to take a chance on hardware after warranty, and the throw-away society shows no sign of waning. Can't say I've fixed many cell phones lately LOL and, in the UK at least, it is darned hard to find a TV repair shop.
If we haven't got there already I ponder as to whether the thing we now call a computer will become a box of goodies that leading corporations (such as MS or Apple) have decided we will like or want, not the "all things to everyone" that was behind the early computer philosophy.
Just thinking aloud that's all....
I've been using Win8 for a few months now and have it permanently installed on a laptop so I can find solutions to problems thrown at me and I've come to the conclusion that the overall system is fine, but it's the amalgam of small, and some very large, annoyances that make it either frustrating or totally unusable.
For example, a simple thing like trying to set up your email. For a start you must have a Hotmail or Outlook.com account, this activates the email system. The when you try to add your existing POP email account you find that POP isn't supported - it has to be IMAP which isn't an issue as long as your ISP supports IMAP, many still do not.
The stupid way of closing applications by swiping from top to bottom. Fine on a small tablet - ****** frustrating on a larger screen with a mouse.
Finding the 'Charms' bar - works 80% of the time first time, but it's the other 20% that just get the blood pressure up.
This is just a few of the real niggles, there are many more.
OK, I know there are a number of 3rd party add-ons that can help with productivity, but it shouldn't have to be a case of having to buy and install additional non-Microsoft software, just to make the system usable, but it still won't handle productivity.
If you intend to use Win8 simply for social networking, some gaming, and not a lot else then Win8 is fine, but when you consider the cost of the cheapest 'surface', then compare it to an Android in price and the iPad in both price and stability, it makes the whole thing a non-goer.

I'll continue to use Win7 on my main computer. I've never been a fan of dual-interface operating systems. Windows 3.11 had a 'Classic' CLI as well as a 'Modern' GUI, and its frequent switching between the two different environments actually made me a little nervous. Back then, I used a Mac for work and a pure DOS machine for play. When Win95 finally let me play my games without kicking me out of the GUI in which my Serious Business programs ran, I ditched the Mac and procured a Pentium.
Similarly, if Microsoft lets me fully disable that single-tasking Modern crapola in some future edition of Windows, I'll gladly upgrade. I bought a 12-thread processor and 2560x1440 display so that I could cram more stuff on my screen at once.
Having said that, I'll probably install Win8 on my HTPC. The speedy performance is perfect for an entertainment PC, and the Modern interface looks right at home on a big TV.

"OK, I know there are a number of 3rd party add-ons that can help with productivity"
The idea of having to resort to third party programs to get productivity out of MS products is nothing new.
Anyone seriously doing file sorting and renumbering in Windows 7 will have found that the automatic filing foisted on them results in it being near impossible to proceed. MS didn't listen to all the complaints, so the simple answer was to download a freebie file manager (with an auto-sort on/off switch). It is then fine, ironically just like all previous MS operating systems.
Whenever a new OS comes out, folk say the previous systems are OK "for a bit of word processing and email" - presumably they suddenly cease to do anything else. To some extent I think that remark applies to newer systems. With each new one glitz seems to take over productivity. Very pretty interface tho and you can move it around with your fingers - important stuff.
Wonder what you will move things around with in Win 9 - err better not make any suggestions on here LOL.

I heard a rumor that their plan was to remove the desktop entirely and move everything to . . . whatever they're calling Metro now. Then Sinofsky left, so I'm not sure what direction they're headed now.
It's nice to dream. though. I'd like to think the Desktop will still disappear, so all Windows programs must be purchased though MS' App store. This, combined with Microsoft's continued insistence that traditional PC form factors don't exist, opens the door for
LinuxAndroid. Windows becomes a niche product, relegated to a market that wants an iDevice, but don't think they cost enough. Microsoft is known to retail consumers by its Xbox properties; its office consumers by Office, and its programming consumers by Visual Studio (now focused on Android development).
Meanwhile, Sony finishes imploding under its own weight, and its video game department is one of the many victims, ultimately purchased by . . . Nintendo, I guess. The video game industry becomes dominated by Nintendo, Microsoft, and Google.
After 10 years, Windows Phone (now called Xphone) finally breaks double digit market share, driven mostly by teens who grew up with some generation of the Xbox.
#10 - I have to say that I am a little surprised with your comments about closing programs and the charms. It took me only a couple of days os using Windows 8 to decide that, on a laptop, the best ways to accomplish these were <alt>-F4 (as always in Windows) and <WinKey>-i. I make extensive use of the <WinKey> shortcuts and I think these are the key to Windows 8 on a laptop. You can imitate the swipe actions that you would use on a tablet, but it's not the best way.
#14. Sorry, I haven't yet seen a machine that comes supplied with a comprehensive list of Win8 shortcuts ;-).
In reality the majority of current purchasers will be using Win 8 on a machine that comes with a mouse or touchpad. If you ask for a demo in your local store there will not be one mention of keyboard shortcuts because the average user does not want to have to remember which combination of keys does what action.
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..." Pink Floyd
I think johnr makes a good point. We all benefit from keyboard shortcuts at times, particularly for file handling. However, far less folk have learned a comprehensive list of them (or even wish to).
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
I was not impressed with the "Metro" interface, or whatever they are calling it now. What I was impressed with is the boot speed. It was super quick. I installed the Consumer Preview when it was released. I do miss the start menu. Also, to do an msconfig you have to do it through the task manager, which is odd. Seems like a great OS for a touch system though. It's not a bad OS, just different. I will stick with 7 for now. My 2¢
ASCII question, get an ANSI
#15 I suspect you have hit the nail on the head as to why so many people slag off Windows 8. They've tried it in a store and haven't known how to use it efficiently; I suspect that many of the detractors haven't given it a proper trial. It is a problem with almost all modern software that it doesn't come with adequate documentation. You do have to learn a little to get the most out of any OS. I wouldn't say that learning two or three basic shortcuts involves memorizing hosts of arcane key combinations. Anyone remember WordStar?
But I was a little surprised that, after using it for a few months, you weren't using the shortcuts for "close program" and "open charms". Along with the <WinKey>-X combination, and <WinKey> alone, I would say those two were pretty basic.
Part of my job is that I am a consultant to a few small companies - loosely termed as IT but often a very varied remit, & as a part of that I have had to find out what new developments are all about.
I'm old enough to have been brought up on DOS - in fact the original language I used at university was 'Fortran' - this was in the days when coding was done onto cards, you booked computer time to test it and 24 hours later were rewarded or disappointed to find whether or not your were successful.and, having gone out of the industry for a few years after graduating I swore I would never use a computer again until they could speak the same language I spoke.
When Windows came along, it was a breath of fresh air and the fact that users could start interacting with computers by just pointing at icons was great. At the time, because there were always instances when it was quicker to use a keyboard shortcut, or even necessary if the serial mouse driver failed to load, then they were just an assumed 'extra' which could be used but didn't need to be. As a result, by the time you get to XP Windows shortcuts, although still there, were rarely mentioned except amongst 'geeks'.
So now we come to Windows 8, the current pinnacle of Microsoft's OS's and what do we find? They have produced an OS that is so obviously designed for touchscreen use - I love Windows 8 mobile & actually think it is far superior to the god-like iphone - but if you go into any store at the moment, you will find the vast majority of laptop and desktop systems having Win8 installed still come with a keyboard and mouse, simply because manufacturers have not embraced the brave new world of Windows 8 and, as a result, are forced to use it primarily with a rodent.
So going back to my original comment, and bearing in mind that I am writing this from the perspective of someone who has to advise companies on whether Win 8 will work for them, do you honestly think I could go into a meeting with a brand new laptop, turn it on, and then start telling the MD 'look at this, bright new, very shiny, but to get it to work you have to press this key combination, then this one etc. etc.
This is the real world that I deal with, not the compromise world that we have gone back to. As a result, I cannot and will not recommend Win 8 to any company that asks me. On top of that, having seen the pricing structure for the Surface, when it does eventually appear, doesn't give me a lot of incentive to push for it then either.
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us..." Pink Floyd
Well, I also was brought up on DOS and spent many years supporting thousands of end users on mainframe terminals, DOS, And various versions of Windows. Much of the work involved training the end-users in new programs and OSs. I have yet to meet anyone who has a problem using keys as well as mice.
You can use a mouse and an on-screen keyboard to input text to a word processor, but most people don't. So if the quickest way to close a program is <alt>-F4 then that's what I teach.
Luckily I never worked as any sort of salesman trying to sell a system to an MD or an office clerk; I just showed them how to use the computer and then supported them.

Student Visas
Foreign National Students can enter the country to study as foreign students while holding a student Visa. There are several student visa categories such as F-1, J-1 and M-1, but the principals regarding obtaining and maintaining student status are similar. Unlike other non-immigrant visas which give a specific period of authorized stay, foreign students visa holders are allowed to remain in the U.S. for "Duration of Status" or until they complete their course of study, as long as they continue to remain full time students.
The foreign student must first obtain admission to an educational institution in the country which will furnish a Form I-20 so the student can obtain his or her Student Visa. The visa can be obtained abroad at the U.S. Consulate or can be applied for while the foreign national is present in the U.S. in another valid non-immigrant status. Caution should be taken when filing a change of status application from Visitor Status to Student Status due to issues dealing with fraudulent intent.Optional Practical Training
Foreign students are eligible for a one-year period of optional practical training ("OPT") after the foreign student completes his or her course of study. OPT must be requested prior to the completion of the course of study. Furthermore, Employment Authorization cards must be requested and obtained by the foreign student before he or she can start working for the OPT employer sponsor.
Foreign students are eligible for OPT after completing each academic level, i.e., after the student completes his or her Bachelors Degree, Masters Degree and Doctoral Degree.Dependents
F-2 dependents are not given many benefits as they are not employment authorized, nor may they be enrolled full-time in school. However, F-2 dependents may be enrolled in elementary and secondary school or any vocational or recreational studies.SEVIS Obligations
The school has strict obligations with USCIS to keep close track of its foreign students and must report within three weeks the student's failure to maintain student status or the completion of his or her educational program. Each semester, schools must report whether the foreign student has enrolled, identification of any foreign student who has dropped below a full course of study without authorization and the current address of the foreign student.Reinstatement of Status
Should the foreign student fall out of status, the student must apply for reinstatement within 5 months after being out of status. If the student applies for reinstatement more than 5 months after falling out of status, he or she must establish that failure to timely file was the result of exceptional circumstances, such as severe illness. In the reinstatement application, the student must prove either that the violation of status was not willful; it resulted from circumstances beyond the student's control; that the violation relates to an approved reduction in the student's course load by the school; or that failure to approve reinstatement would result in extreme hardship to the student.Grace Periods
There is a 60 day grace period after expiration of their student status for students who have completed their course of study and any authorized practical training. The student must either change his or her status, adjust his or her status, or must depart the United States before the expiration of the 60 day grace period.How Do I Apply for a Student Visa?
The Law Offices of Nishan C. Mahendran, P.A. will be pleased to assist you in securing your student visa. Please contact our office to schedule an in person appointment or telephonic consultation to discuss obtaining your student visa.

Critics And Fans Unimpressed By Host Chelsea Handler's Off-Color Racial Humor
People are talking...and they are not saying great things about Chelsea Handler's hosting skills and her off-color racial humor (which seems to center on making fun of black rappers). See what people are saying when you go inside...
If you watch Chelsea's show on E!, you already know that she loves rappers and they love her. And she does really funny interviews. But the MTV VMAs started out with her walking down the hall and being "sexually harassed" by a bunch of black men (mainly rappers) who all wished her well about hosting the show, before smacking her butt. This bit would have worked on her show.....but many found it uncomfortable.
Then after her lackluster monolouge, she "summoned" Rick Ross to whisk her away from the stage...and of course she straddled him. And again, I'm uncomfortable. And I wasn't the only one unimpressed.
The New York Times said of Handler:
"She was among the worst in the show's history — purposefully out-of-touch, with brief, alarming flashes of off-color racial humor. On her talk show, "Chelsea Lately," in a smaller setting, her interviews with musicians, rappers in particular, are consistently hilarious and inappropriate. Here, she never looked comfortable, undone by nerves, brittle material and the wattage of those around her."
The Washington Post said:
"...comedian Chelsea Handler declared in her opening monologue, a string of flat punch lines that felt a few degrees below crass. Sample zinger: "It's time to acknowledge the big black elephant in the room. Where's Kanye?" Ugh.
Entertainment Weekly was also unimpressed:
"As the live portion of the show began, Handler turned in a moderately funny Gaga sendup, appearing amid red-lycra-clad dancers wearing a dollhouse on her head. Though, again, it felt a little like Host the VMAs Paint-by-Numbers — Gaga's both the easiest and the lamest (not to mention the most willing) target around. Her monologue then brought us typical crowd-pleasers like drinking and drug references like, "That's the last time I do a prayer circle with Snoop Dogg." There were herpes digs at the cast of the Jersey Shore, and a mention of "that series of duets released by that Russian woman featuring Mel Gibson — those were cute." The obligatory Kanye nod — calling him "the big black elephant in the room" — was equally edgy-but-boring. There was even use of the word "vagina" for good measure (as in, "imagine how good [Justin Bieber's] music will be when he sees a vagina")."
AOL TV said:
"Handler was giddy and game for a good time throughout the night, but most of her skits fell flat: She jumped in the hot tub with the 'Jersey Shore' cast (heels and all) and exited with a tired joke in the form of a faux baby bump. She addressed last year's West-Swift debacle by warning off stage crashers with a stupid self-defense demonstration. She filmed a running skit with Ke$ha about a VMA meet and greet. And she made an unfortunate joke about riding home on the face of the hot werewolf from 'True Blood.' "
I absolutely love Chelsea's TV show, so I expected a lot from her. I actually didn't think she was absolutely horrible, but I see where folks expected more. People have to realize different networks, wider audiences, and different time slots allow for different standards. So she possibly couldn't be her usual self due to restrictions. Even though she did manage to slide in some eye brow raisers.
She did seem a bit tipsy during the opening. But hey...that's Chelsea. And this is MTV.

Very good 8.4 From 28 reviews
This Motel has recently changed owners. The new owners are very friendly, pleasant and very obliging and having lived locally for many years and know all about Dunedin and its surrounding area. They are keeping the maintenance and cleaning standards high which is great to see. We just stayed 1 night and while our room was quite small it had all that we required plus more and the most important thing, a comfortable bed, so a good sleep was obtained and the curtains kept the driveway and street light out.

Organizer Spotlight, Tips Edition: SF Sketchers
Laurie Wigham started the SF Sketchers Meetup two years ago after deciding to focus on doing more art on paper, without a computer. After 30 years as a graphic designer, she found herself drawn to creating offline, "without an undo button." When her friends didn't want to sketch with her, SF Sketchers was born. Laurie's Meetup format is simple. Every event begins with three hours of sketching followed by a half an hour of show-and-tell at a local café. They follow a strict "no-criticism" rule and have a great time.
Over two years, Laurie's community has grown to more than 900 members and she's organized more than 150 events. When it comes to organizing, Laurie is a pro. Instead of trying to tell her story ourselves, we're bringing her tried and true advice straight to you below, in her own words:
Everyone should be an Organizer
Human beings are hard-wired to be social, and organizing other people to do things with us is an inherent part of our human nature. Starting your own Meetup group is an easy way to exercise those muscles and learn how to lead people in any project that interests you in the world.
When planning Meetups, it's okay to be selfish
Plan Meetups in places you want to go, doing things you want to do. Other people will come if it appeals to them too, but you don't have to satisfy some imaginary audience out there if you're already satisfying yourself. If you're doing it for yourself, you can think better about how to plan events, because you can user-test every idea on yourself: "Would it be fun for me to meet everybody on this windy street corner or would I rather hang out on those comfortable chairs in the sun while I wait?"
Remember that you're doing this because you want to do it.
Don't expect that everyone will read your whole Meetup description
When it comes to your event descriptions, shorter is better. A significant portion of your members will never read beyond the three or four lines that appear in the Meetup's announcement email, and of those who do click through to the event page, many will not make it to the end.
You may feel like you should write down all you know about a place, spelling out every detail and answering every possible question, but it's better for people to post their own questions and use the discussion section for the little details. More people will read through to the end if you keep the event description short. And if you put a few lively teasers in the first few lines that will appear in the announcement, you'll get more people will clicking through to the event page.
Ask your members for input, but make the decisions yourself
Your members have a ton of good ideas that will make your Meetup better, but at the end of the day, you are the one taking responsibility for the success of the group. You need to make the judgement calls that you believe are right.
Be consistent
Once you plan a Meetup, try to resist making changes. Even if something unexpected pops up, just roll with it. If your location isn't perfect, stand there and direct everyone to the right place. You never know when someone is going to miss an update, so it's best to stick to the original plan whenever possible.
Thanks for sharing, Laurie!

After an unexpected social visit or shopping spree I can return home in time for lunch with a smile. "How convenient!" my mother would say. In her times, either she had to prepare the lunch for the entire family or cook it after a hurried outing or even better, she would skip the visit! I would just come home and heat up some ready-to eat delicacies and have a sumptuous meal. Recently, I began to think about the effects of this type of food on health. This made me think. Are they really bad?
Processed Food : An Observation
In the grocery stores out there, we find whole sections dedicated to processed food. Processed foods have been altered from their natural state to increase their shelf life and for ease. This technique evolved and got promoted as a result of urbanisation and resultant hectic life style. In the present scenario, people like me can't imagine a week without dried noodles or canned fish.
How it changes your whole of life!
It helps people who can't get fresh food and refrigerate it. You don't remember seasonal foods anymore. Any food item is made available all around the year by food processing. Food processing also enables the market to have variety. The grocery shops are not going to look nice if food processing is stopped.
The methods of processing include canning, freezing, refrigeration, dehydration and aseptic processing. The use of preservatives like antioxidants and antimicrobials to increase the store life of food is not uncommon. If you believe that consuming processed is totally unhealthy, then you are mistaken.
Not all kinds of food processing are harmful to health. Some food items gain edibility and nutrition after getting processed while some need processing to retain nutrition. Tinned fish and pasteurized milk are instances. Except for those who prefer raw milk, pasteurization kills bacteria and homogenization prevents the fats from separating.
Vegetables do not lose anything when frozen. The minerals and the vitamins remain fresher in them than in the ones available in the market. The vegetables do not reach the market the day when they are picked and by the time they reach the destination they may end up losing their nutritional content. Through processing, provisions like bread and breakfast cereals can be given more minerals and vitamins. In any case, the human body will not retain any unnecessary vitamin or mineral. Sugar, oil, pulses and grains get their edible form through processing. They are again processed in the making of bakery products, dairy products and packed foods.
Dangers of Processed Food
The tendency to consume these kinds of food is ever on the increase. But one has to know that though they fill the stomach and quench hunger they do not give the body and its immune system their regular share. Processed meats amplify the risk of colorectal, kidney and stomach cancer. They are often simply saturated fats and salt with just preservatives and flavouring agents. They do not contain much of protein, minerals or vitamins.
Doctors relate the reason for the leaping number of cancer patients to processed foods. Carcinogen is a substance that promotes cancer. It seems to be omnipotent by being present in asbestos, radon, certain pesticides, arsenic, tobacco smoke and food stuffs. Foods cooked at high temperatures are susceptible to carcinogen due to certain chemical reactions. In eatables like fried potatoes carcinogen is found in potential amount. Hence the French fry scare!
Forms of acrylamide present in heat–processed food is another concern. Acrylamide is a chemical used to make polyacrylamide materials which in turn is utilized for the treatment of drinking water. WHO says that acrylamide, if taken in can cause and damage the nervous system. Acrylamide is born in foods when processed in high temperatures especially for long duration. This is seen in higher levels in potato fries while breakfast cereals, biscuits, cookies and snacks and even pop corn. WHO adds on some more alarming information. Acrylamide is also found in home-made food as well. WHO further warns us that food should in no way get overcooked. (I also read that Acrylamide in these proportions is not dangerous! But I I go with WHO)
I am not sure what they mean when they say ,"no preservatives".
Some of the food preservatives used are Sodium acetate, Sodium nitrite and Sodium metabisulphite. Taurine, glucuronolactone and caffeine are introduced in energy drinks and fizzies as stimulants. Lalala! Disodium inosate and disodium 5-ribonucleotide do the flavour part. Needless to say that these chemicals and stuff are not going to be very friendly to the body.
Processed food (frozen dinners) and soft drinks contain a good amount of sodium. Sodium chloride (salt) is used for preservation of food as it checks moisture and prevents the growth of bacteria.
We should think healthy first. Let's look for foods that are free from trans-fat, low in sodium and calories and those made of whole grain.

I am a passionate non- native English teacher. Teaching is a big part of my life. For that understanding, I am a lifelong scholar.
I believe in using music in English teaching. My approach is that we do not speak the language, but we sing it.
English bears a unique melody, rhythm as well as intonation.
Halina from Poland
1. British English can no longer serve as an optimal, reasonable model of English language use. Not after the Brexit campaign, fuelled by lies, racism, culminating in deaths of a British MP and a Polish migrant. The Leave campaigns used British English to make false promises, mis-represent facts (to the point of possibly risking criminal litigation), and divide British people – and they won. The Remain campaign failed to engage on any level beyond fear – and it lost.
2. American English can no longer serve as an optimal, reasonable model of English language use. Not after Trump. His presidential campaign "took relentless aim at institutions and ideals", presented a pessimistic, polarising vision of America, steered clear of facts, policies or rational arguments – and it won. The Clinton campaign failed to engage people whose momentum was felt in the Democratic Party with Sanders still in the running – and it lost.

The Max and Annie Darling series is one of my very favorites! Thanks so much for featuring Walking on My Grave on your blog (sad though that it is the last book :~( )
Love Carolyn Hart's series. Have mixed feelings about this book since it is supposed to be the last in the Death on Demand series. I'm sure the book will be great; but, I hate to see the series end.
Sounds like a great read.
It looks like an interesting read. Sorry the series is coming to an end.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

IBM Corp's chief executive told shareholders Tuesday that Big Blue stands ready to reap the benefits of the coming boom in business Internet spending, provided it happens.
"This is IBM's franchise. The opportunity that results from this industry shift is ours to lose," an upbeat Samuel J. Palmisano said to about 400 investors gathered for the company's annual meeting.
IBM was widely chided for having missed the Internet boom in the late 1990s, an assertion that the company later turned around and used to its advantage, when the dot-com bubble burst.
Palmisano said IBM's deft use of security technology, networking and its giant services arm were the right tools for the new wave of emerging Internet devices.
IBM also increased its quarterly dividend by a penny to US$0.15 a share and boosted its stock repurchase authorization by US$3.5 billion.
The shareholders meeting signaled the leadership transition at Big Blue. IBM chairman Louis V. Gerstner presided, but it was Palmisano, his successor as chief executive, who outlined business strategy.
The retiring Gerstner, who will remain IBM chairman through the end of 2002, said he did not intend to remain on the company's board after his retirement.
Shareholders overwhelmingly defeated four proposals opposed by IBM. One attempted to alter accounting practices to prevent IBM executives from reaping extra pay for earnings made by pension funds.

Possessed by the Red Shoes - Kerrie Lacey
Possessed by the Red Shoes
I love shoes but like the lady in this story, I don't wear heels usually. So when I do, I feel sexier and somehow like it's a little treat to me.
Hope you enjoy this little shoe fantasy - be aware as always with Kerrie Lacey erotica, there is some strong language and sexual content.
I saw the shoes while out shopping with a friend. They were red patent leather, had a platform and 3 inch heels. I loved them immediately and knew I had to have them!
My friend Abbey laughed when I tried them on, saying, quite rightly that they were the furthest away I could possibly get from my usual sort of shoe. We had joked that I would walk like a duck down the aisle behind her when she insisted I was going to wear heels to make me look less of a short arse on her wedding day. In the end we compromised and I was allowed to change in to cute little pumps for the reception.
My taste in shoes had never cramped my style and I could rise to the occasion when I needed to and slip on some heels but mostly that occasion never seemed to arise in my mind, why wear heels when I could flaunt my assets, be comfy and still get what I wanted?
But was in love and had to have these shoes.
I took them home and after Abbey had gone I slipped into a t-shirt and sat looking at my shoes. I slipped them on and stood looking at myself in the mirror. My legs looked longer and I instantly felt sexier. I strutted around practicing my walk and before long I was sashaying around my flat, as if possessed, feeling sexier than I had for a while.
God I loved these shoes.
Then the feeling hit me – I needed to cum. I couldn't explain why but I felt myself rubbing my hands over my body, feeling my curves through my t-shirt and giving in to the urge to lay on my bed, open my legs wide and begin to play with my already hard clit. I was wet and felt the cool air hit my pussy as soon as I opened my lips. I rubbed my fingers over my pussy, spreading the wetness all over, sliding my fingers inside my hole to gather more juice and smothering it all over my lips. I reached over to my drawer and found my dildo, big and faithful, it just slid right in me. I gasped as I fucked myself hard and before long I felt the familiar wave of pleasure begin to rise within my pussy and spread throughout my whole body. The resulting wet patch seemed to imply I had enjoyed myself and I kicked of the shoes and giggled.
Was it the shoes? Was I possessed? Who cared, I'd enjoyed it!
I slipped in to the shower as I was meeting the girls at a bar in town for a get together. I was already late, due to my impromptu pleasuring and so I had to get a move on to get there in time.
I slide in to my favourite black dress and decided to slip on the red shoes – well I paid an arm and a leg for them so they had to be worn. Besides which they matched the red lingerie I had chosen, the lace thong and bra that made my ample tits look even bigger. I went for nude colour stockings and so the red shoes complimented the outfit perfectly.
The bar was busy but not overcrowded, we found a booth to sit in, one where we could see the comings and goings and check out the talent – well as the girls said, even though they were married or partnered, it didn't stop them window shopping!
I on the other hand was young, free and single and tonight I felt like I was on the prowl. Maybe it was because I hadn't had a cock in a while; maybe it was because I had fucked myself earlier and cum like a steam train but even the biggest dildo simply couldn't replace a cock. Or maybe it was just the shoes. I smiled at the thought and said I'd get the next round in.
To cut a long story short I spotted a rather gorgeous looking guy behind the bar and was practically drooling as I watched him, hoping he would come and serve me. As he walked towards me I could feel my pussy twitch hard.
'What can I get you' he said.
I just smiled and licked my lips. In my head I was saying, 'what are you doing, I wasn't usually so brazen?' However my mouth and my lips were doing quite a different thing. I pouted and asked what he recommended. He smiled and said 'well that depends on what you like?' I shifted, feeling myself become wet, feeling my thong rub against my clit and the confidence the shoes were giving run through my body.
'I like all sorts of things but am always happy to try something new, especially when I think I'm going to enjoy it.'
It was his turn to bit his lip and shuffle slightly, which made me exhale hard enough for it to be a gasp. 'Maybe I can help you with that tonight then.'
Unsure if it was a question of maybe a statement, I simply said 'yes'
'Well we have some great beers and wines or maybe a cocktail?' As he said cocktail he looked me straight in the eyes and I grinned. We both knew it was a loaded offer.
I spent the next hour making it look like I wasn't watching him, although of course we both knew I was and that appeared that fact seemed reciprocal. I walked to the loo and caught his eye as I walked past the bar and was a little startled as I walked smack bang into a tall guy, knocking his drink over him as I did. I began apologising but he just laughed and said it was ok, saying maybe fate had made us collide.
I rolled my eyes as I looked up at, not the most gorgeous man but he certainly had something about him. He was wearing what looked like expensive clothes and before I knew what I was doing I was offering to make it up to him in any way I could and was handing over a business card and telling him to send me the bill for the dry cleaning. He offered his card in return and said something about being sure we could come to an arrangement. I smiled and excused myself and carried on to the loo, feeling both Mr Card Man and Mr Bar Man's eyes following me as I strutted away.
I looked at myself in the mirror, had I gone mad? I'd just given my number to a complete stranger in a bar and although I wasn't known as timid, I wasn't usually wreckless. 'Oh well' I said to my reflection and laughed, well it was done now.
As I came out of the loo I saw Mr Barman coming the other way along the corridor. 'Hi again' he said, 'was that guy OK with you?'
'He was fine' and I explained what had happened and that it was my fault and it was because my mind was elsewhere. 'Oh' he said 'anything I can help with?'
Now normally I would have thought cliché alert but this time my pussy back flipped and I heard myself saying, 'maybe.'
He said he was going outside for some air, it was his break and it was hot and I took his hand and said ' this way?' His grip tightened as he said yeah and followed me. The night air was warm and I felt my nipples get hard and I knew if he didn't protest I was going to get him to fuck me.
He leant against the wall and lit a cigarette and offered me one, 'no thanks, I hear they're bad for you.'
He laughed and said, 'aren't all the best things in life?' I just laughed and said 'well I'm always willing to find out.'
I held his gaze as I bent down in from of him, look at his groin and then up at him. Without missing a beat he said 'be my guest' so I did!
I ran the flat of my hand over his groin, tracing the outline of his cock as it began to grow. I unzipped him and hungrily filled my mouth with his cock, just the tip at first but it wasn't long before I was gagging on the tip of his cock as it touched the back of my throat.
I alternated between teasing and sucking the end of his cock and feasting on the whole length while I grasped his ass hard with my hands. He groaned and took this as a sign to carry on with more of the same.
It wasn't long before he was gasping and I felt him pull away and say 'fuck, you'll make me cum' I stood up and smiled and 'said well that's the idea.'
He laughed and stepped forward and kissed me. It was a hard, dirty kiss and I knew I was going to get him to cum and deep inside me if. He pulled away and pushed me against the wall. I lifted one leg, resting my foot on top of a beer barrel and he slid his hands along my stockings and his fingers slid deep into my wet hole.
'Mmmmm, well you're ready for me to cum in you then but first I want to taste your slutty pussy.'
He smiled as the mention of me being called a slut made me tighten around his fingers. He dropped to his knees and began licking my pussy like a thirsty man. I ground my pussy in to his face and groaned with the pure pleasure of being such a slut, not knowing this man but knowing I was going to let him slide his cock into me and fill me up.
He finger fucked me hard as he licked my clit and before long I was crying out with and epic orgasm and felt my juices dripping down my legs as he slid his fingers out of me.
'Fucking hell' I heard him say and I laughed and just said 'no, just fuck me.'
He didn't need anymore of an invitation and in one smooth move he stood up and within a nanosecond his cock was deep inside me and he fucked me roughly. As he fucked me he grabbed my tits to steady himself and kept asking me if I was enjoying his cock and telling me what a slut I was. I couldn't disagree, I was being a total dirty slut but at that moment I loved every second of it.
He banged his cock into me hard and fast, like a man scared I'd change my mind or afraid we'd get caught. I loved having this stranger inside me and began urging him on, telling him to fuck me harder and faster.
I came hard once again and this was swiftly followed by a swift injection of his crème as he buried his head in to my shoulder. We stood still both gasping until I felt his cock go limp and drop out of my dripping hole.
He pulled away from me and looked at me apologetically 'sorry, I'm not sure what came over me, I would never usually talk to a woman like that but…'
'Hey it's fine, I loved it' I said while thinking, well I wouldn't usually act like one, so maybe I deserved it.
His cum dripped to the floor and after a while I rearranged myself and looked down at the shoes, well maybe it's not just me they affect. I smiled.
'Thanks for the most enjoyable break I've had for a long time.'
'My pleasure' I said, and I meant it!
He gave me his number and I took it, well he'd certainly be better than the dildo when I next needed a cock!
I walked back into the bar and as I walked past the guy I'd drench I thought, hmmmm booty call maybe, best keep the shoes on, until after I call him at least.
Did I call him? Well that's another story.

There is much to be said about playing a SEC team (Tennessee) who sets out to to prove to the #1 team in the land (Florida) that they are a worthy opponent. Being a Gator fan, I walked out of yesterday's game happy in more ways than one. They won a sloppy, gritty, hard-fought game and if Tennessee had a mere mediocre quarterback the outcome could have been different. Facing obstacles like a team stricken with the flu and the inability to throw ten yards beyond the line of scrimmage (against an NFL style defense), the Gators proved they can win any type of game.
The 09-10 Florida Gators are on a mission to become the only undefeated team that this school has ever seen. Each of the three championships have seen one loss--FSU in '96, Auburn in '06, and Ole Miss in '08. Make this team one-dimensional and they still can pull out the victory. The real test comes October 10 in Baton Rouge against LSU at 8 p.m.
Why is Grey's Anatomy still nominated for this bullshit (Emmy Nomination). Nobody likes that show anymore. Is this a stream of consciousness? Why doesn't LOST win it all?
Anyway, Sunday Night Football pits the Giants v. Cowboys in a standard early season NFC East Battle. So though 1 week and 14 1/2 games of week 2, what have we seen? NOTHING. The 13-3 Tennessee Titans of '08, begin 0-2 losing to the Steelers and TEXANS! These same Texans who could not gain a first down against the 2-0 NY Jets. Also, how the hell does San Francisco go 2-0 beating the Seahawks and Cardinals (two divisional games), that's crazy! Most surprising thing I have seen so far is...the Dolphins committing 4 turnovers against the Falcons in week 1. And that brings me to Monday Night Football with the Colts v. Dolphins. Miami has not won a prime time game since 2004- 57 weeks (thanks to the Sun-Sentinel for that stat).
As for other news in football...the Miami Hurricanes are close to being back. Ranked #9 in the AP Poll may be high, but beating two ranked teams says something about your team. I will the say that talent is 90% of winning in College Football and Miami usually has the most on any given field.
Thanks to Eric Berry, Lane & Monte Kiffin for giving the Gators the "scare" they needed to get things right for the rest of the season! I look forward to the coming weeks and a possible inters-state match up in Pasadena, that is if The "U" has come back full circle. HAAAAAAA, I am getting WAY to ahead of myself. Let's just beat Kentucky in Lexington next week and the Heisman is like winning NL MVP, WHO GIVES A SHIT? The goal is the crystal ball, and nothing else, actually the SEC Title first.
Peace, for now until later.

Currently in Cannes: Anna OctoberMay 19, 2016 - 179 Comments
I discovered a new designer named Anna October while shopping for pieces to wear during my Cannes trip. I'm wearing the Stealing Beauty Ruffled Crepe Dress and I'm totally in love! It's so easy, yet all the ruffles and the off the shoulder make it fancy and whimsical at the same time.
Anna October also has other beautiful pieces that are perfect for vacation (I love this top and this dress). The dress I wore was ideal for Cannes though since Cannes tends to be a bit fancy (everyone is in gowns all the time) and if I don't need to, I don't like being super overdressed so I'd rather go with something like this piece that is dressy but still simple and easy to wear. Also, these Proenza Schouler shoes I got might just be the best purchase I've made this season because they go with everything. The Gucci Dionysus bag was a surprise gift from Jacopo that he got me during his trip to Milan. Although I like nice things, when it comes to gifts, I really don't care about materialistic things. I like experiences and feelings more than actual presents so this came to me as a surprise. It's so weird receiving gifts but I mean… I obviously love it since it's been on my wish list for quite a bit!
I love the color red and this bag has the perfect red accents. Ah! I can't get over how sweet Jacopo is and so excited for my European trip with him. Spending time with him and getting to explore different cities make the long distance worth it!(Ok, I'll stop being corny now, sorry)

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is providing the following information to urge the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Weather Service (NWS; a component of NOAA), and the US Coast Guard to take action on the safety recommendations in this report. The recommendations address, in the interest of mariner safety, the development of tropical cyclone information and its availability to mariners. The recommendations derive primarily from factual information gathered during the NTSB's ongoing investigation into the sinking of cargo vessel El Faro on October 1, 2015.
The factual data revealed that critical tropical cyclone information issued by the NWS is not always available to mariners via well-established broadcast methods. The data also suggest that modifying the way the NWS develops certain tropical cyclone forecasts and advisories could help mariners at sea better understand and respond to tropical cyclones. Further, factual data on the official forecasts for Hurricane Joaquin and other recent tropical cyclones suggest that a new emphasis on improving hurricane forecasts is warranted.
The NTSB has yet to determine the probable cause of, or contributing factors in, El Faro's sinking. Nevertheless, based on the meteorological facts gathered thus far, plus discussions with the NWS and the Coast Guard, the NTSB makes ten recommendations in this report. Two recommendations are addressed to NOAA, seven to the NWS, and one to the Coast Guard.
As a result of this report, the National Transportation Safety Board makes the following safety recommendations:
To the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:
Develop and implement a plan specifically designed to emphasize improved model performance in forecasting tropical cyclone track and intensity in moderate-shear environments. (M-17-8)
Develop and implement technology that would allow National Weather Service forecasters to quickly sort through large numbers of tropical cyclone forecast model ensembles, identify clusters of solutions among ensemble members, and allow correlation of those clusters against a set of standard parameters. (M-17-9)
To the National Weather Service:
Work with international partners to develop and implement a plan to ensure immediate dissemination to mariners, via Inmarsat-C SafetyNET (and appropriate future technology), of the Intermediate Public Advisories and Tropical Cyclone Updates issued by the National Weather Service, in a manner similar to the current process of disseminating the Tropical Cyclone Forecast/Advisory. (M-17-10)
Modify your directives to ensure, for all tropical cyclones of tropical storm strength or greater within your jurisdiction, that your facilities issue, at the 3-hour interval between regularly scheduled Tropical Cyclone Forecast/Advisories, an Intermediate Public Advisory, a Tropical Cyclone Update, or another product available (or expected to be available) to mariners via Inmarsat-C SafetyNET (and appropriate future technology), and that the product include the coordinates of the current storm center position, maximum sustained surface winds, current movement, and minimum central pressure. (M-17-11)
Modify your directives to ensure that the "next advisory" time in a Tropical Cyclone Forecast/Advisory clearly indicates when to expect the next update of "current" or forecast information for that particular tropical cyclone. (M-17-12)
Quantitatively define "significant change" in terms of both the track and intensity of a tropical cyclone to guide the issuance of Special Advisory packages. (M-17-13)
Ensure that tropical cyclone graphic products issued by entities such as the National Hurricane Center, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, the Guam Weather Forecast Office, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, and Fleet Weather Center–Norfolk are made available in near-real time via the FTPmail service. (M-17-14)
Allow users to schedule recurring, automated receipt of specific National Weather Service products through an enhanced FTPmail service (and appropriate future technology). (M-17-15)
Develop and implement a plan for soliciting feedback from the marine user community, particularly ship masters, about the accuracy, timeliness, and usability of weather services to mariners. (M-17-16)
To the US Coast Guard:
In collaboration with the National Weather Service, provide timely broadcasts of the Tropical Cyclone Forecast/Advisories, Intermediate Public Advisories, and Tropical Cyclone Updates to mariners in all regions via medium-frequency navigational TELEX (NAVTEX), high-frequency voice broadcasts (HF VOBRA), and high-frequency simplex teletype over radio (HF SITOR), or appropriate radio alternatives (and appropriate future technology). (M-17-17)
The recommendations derive primarily from factual information gathered during the NTSB's ongoing investigation into the sinking of cargo vessel El Faro on October 1, 2015.
This report contains no determination of probable cause.

I would think that you would do a backup of the table as is.
Then change the dds (if it exists) and use the CHGPFM
in SQL use the ALTER table command.
Either should, I beleive change the tables and data to the new format. There maybe issues with indexs or logical files that use this field as a key.
I would copy the data to a backup, change the DDS if you have it. You will also run into level checks with programs using this file. When ever you change a record format then all logical files and programs will need to be recompiled.
After all this then copy the data from the backup into the new changed version of the file using the FMTOPT(*MAP)

Car is totaled now what
If felt like an emergency when my wife called me and said "I need you right now. The car is wrecked and I can't drive". Is it an emergency when the car is totaled?
I was in a panic as I called 911, grabbed a jacket and headed to the scene of the accident. It has taken a few days to stabilize my heart rate. I wasn't even in the car when she was rear ended. It still hurt me.
Mrs. Money Bacon Guy is okay
When you look at the damage and see the spare tire is now stored in the back seat it makes you take inventory in your life. What matters? My wife matters! The car can be replaced.
For the last week I have been eating bacon like I would never see that golden-brown meet again. The rest of my time has been spent kissing my wife and fighting for justice.
GEICO auto insurance has been great
Describing how flawlessly things are being handled following the accident is difficult. GEICO is available 24hrs and it seems like they have been working around the clock. Because of their organized claims process their insurance very highly in my opinion.
- Day 1: Create a claim online from the ER at geico.com
- Day 2: Rest. Sunday we just rested and it was perfect.
- Day 3: I worked 20 hours while she rested more. Insurance adjuster sent us a settlement offer.
- Day 4: We received and deposited the settlement check. Picked up a rental car to drive for the next five days. Nevada Highway Patrol accident is report now available.
The claim will remain open for a few more weeks. We will be uploading receipts for the tow, accident report and rental car. The medical billing is done thru an internal department and we don't expect to see any charges from the hospital who examined her after the accident.
Emergency fund isn't liquid
It was literally this week that made it to Baby Step 3! When I completed Baby Step 3 I transferred the $3,000 emergency fund into a money market account at Vanguard. The electronic transfer was in-process during the car accident. The emergency fund isn't liquid because the checks had't arrived yet.
It's really kind of a strange irony that there was a car accident at the very same time that the emergency fund was not accessible. It just goes to show how important the emergency fund can be. Keep the money liquid but don't let it keep you from doing an electronic transfer. Everything was okay. I don't regret that the money was unavailable, we didn't need it at all.
How much does a car accident cost
The car was considered a total loss and therefore purchased by GEICO. The insurance adjuster assigned the vehicles value to be $8,564.14 We paid a $500 deductible that may be returned after it is billed to the other guys insurance company.
We should be refunded $250 for a combination of expenses from the rental car, tow yard fee and accident report provided by NHP. We are buying a replace meant car from a family member and bought one-way (standby) airfare for two for $150.
Overall this is not a positive experience
Since my beautiful wife is also money smart, we are actually emerging from this experience in the green. The replacement car is only $5,000. We will save remaining $3,500 because we are planing to replace this temporary car in 12-18 months.
Do not mistake the fact that this car accident has come and gone without devastating our finances to mean that it was a good experience. The real cost of this experience is hard to measure. I don't know if my wife will ever be able to drive on the freeway without Post Traumatic Stress again.
The impact on her body was pretty severe. Whiplash is a term that describes the micro-tearing of muscles during sudden impact. It seems like she is getting better each day. But on the other hand she feels a different pain each day.
Blessed not to declare an emergency
Proper planning prevented the car accident from being an emergency. What do I think contributed to a generally successful outcome? Proper car insurance, valid license, vehicle registration, car maintenance was current, cell phones were charged, communication, emergency services.
Even the best plan can't prevent the failures that lead to the accident. The "at fault" driver distracted. In the police report he said he was looking down at traffic on the off-ramp. When he looked forward he just saw bumper and it was to late. It just goes to show that you can't take your eye off of the goal even for a moment.
Nevada has a statewide zero-fatalities goal for the highways. This goal has been in place for years. Never, in recent history, has Nevada succeed in its goal. As a driver, it is everyones responsibility to focus on the goal of safety while operating their automobile.
