November 18, 1864 (Friday)
Though William Tecumseh Sherman's army had been on the march for a few days now, it took these few days for the news to reach John Bell Hood, still wallowing along the Tennessee River near Florence and Tuscumbia. For quite a long time, information held that Sherman was moving north, retracing his route back toward Chattanooga. Other scouts reported that the Federals were on their way south to Mobile. Still more had Sherman now blocking Hood's planned path into Middle Tennessee.
On the 15th and 16th, some foretelling of Sherman's march came from Joseph Wheeler's cavalry, but it wasn't until this date that Hood knew for sure.
Trying to get Hood to do something, P.G.T. Beauregard, now headquartered in Corinth, kept him abreast of every rumor and word. The day previous, he had heard again from Wheeler that Sherman had four corps, and on this day, he requested that Hood send some troops to Wheeler. Beauregard also learned that "the enemy are turning their columns on the shortest route to Macon."
Meanwhile, back in Hood's army, all was almost ready for the march. "I have now seven days' rations on hand, and need thirteen days' additional," wrote Hood to Beauregard on the 17th. "Please make every effort to have these supplies pressed forward."
Despite this plea (or perhaps because of it), Beauregard ordered Hood to "take the offensive at the earliest practicable moment, and deal the enemy rapid and vigorous blows, striking him while thus dispersed, and by this means distract Sherman's advance in Georgia."
Beauregard almost insisted that Hood reinforce Wheeler and Cobb, but after Hood declined, the subject was abandoned. "It is left optional with him to divide and re-enforce Cobb [commanding infantry in Macon]," wrote Beauregard to Richmond, "to take the offensive immediately to relieve him." Besides, Hood and Sherman were now separated by 300 miles. The next day, Beauregard would leave for Macon, arriving on the 24th.
Hood would go on to blame his delay of three weeks on "the bad condition of the railroad from Okolona to Cherokee, and the dirt road from the latter point to Florence, and also by the absence of Major-General Forrest's command…."
Still, Hood had to do something, and on this date, he informed Beauregard of his decision. He would take the offensive, keeping all of his cavalry with him, sending not a soldier to Cobb or Wheeler.
In Hood's mind, the only thing standing between him and Nashville was a corps and a half under John Schofield, now located near Pulaski. And though he was mistaken, though George Thomas had amassed a force even larger in Nashville, the idea of taking Nashville wasn't even supposed to be in his head. Beauregard had never mentioned it, and wanted instead for Hood to whip the Yankees in Tennessee so that Sherman would have to double back.
To get things moving, General Hood ordered Forrest to "move at once with your command, crossing the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers between Paducah and Johnsonville, and then move up the north bank of the Cumberland to Clarksville, taking possession of that place, if possible." He ordered him to seize the mills, "and put them to grinding at once." This would help alleviate his problem with lack of rations.
Forrest was also to "destroy the railroads between Nashville and Clarksville, and between Bowling Green and Nashville, taking care to keep all the telegraphic communications between these places constantly destroyed."
But even this would be scaled back before long. Hood would still not be able to move for another three days, and Beauregard was hardly finished coaxing him in that direction. And in the meanwhile, Sherman's columns continued their paths through Georgia.1

"France has found a unique way of controlling its unwanted critter population. They have done this by giving unwanted animals like snails, pigeons, and frogs fancy names, thus transforming common backyard pests into expensive delicacies. These are then served to gullible tourists, who will eat anything they can't pronounce." — Chris Harris

5 ways What is LinkedIn commerce, Linkedin ecommerce ?
Many people think of LinkedIn as a business community, but it can also be helpful for promoting your online store. It can help build your network, conduct research, demonstrate your expertise, and market your products.
Many people think of LinkedIn as a business community, but it can also be helpful for promoting your online store. It can help build your network, conduct research, demonstrate your expertise, and market your products.
LinkedIn For Your Online store
One of the best uses of LinkedIn is as an online profile of your store. Your company can have a LinkedIn profile, similar to Facebook, and a photo to put a face to your brand. In that respect, it's another opportunity to get your store's information on a popular social network.
To enhance your reputation, LinkedIn allows you to show recommendations from previous customers and colleagues. A good way to get recommendations is by reciprocating, but you can also request recommendations from anyone you've done business with.
Networking and Connecting
The key to any social network is the ability to connect with others. LinkedIn connections are the people with whom you have mutually agreed to have a relationship, and you can specify the type of relationship (i.e., colleague, co-worker, friend).
By searching for people you know by name or email address, you can connect with more people on LinkedIn and keep in contact, perhaps also asking for a recommendation. Any time you search or find a new person, LinkedIn will tell you whether you or anyone in your network knows him or her, and how closely connected you are.
Building a Community
You can begin a group on LinkedIn to start discussions, promote events and share information directly with your customers, colleagues and/or suppliers. The key to building a strong community on any social network is to provide useful information, so make sure you balance promotional content with other information. A balance of 20 percent promotion and 80 percent other content is probably safe.
Many organizations also have groups on LinkedIn to expand networks and provide support. Look for, and connect with, groups and other online merchants in your industry.
Research and Expertise
LinkedIn's Answers section provides opportunities to demonstrate your expertise, build your reputation and conduct market and product research. Simply search for questions in your area of expertise and provide well-worded, thoughtful answers. If it is chosen as the best answer, it will be highlighted on that particular question and on your profile. You can also ask your own questions and search previous answers to research ecommerce strategies and ideas.
Product Promotion
Like Facebook or Twitter, LinkedIn has a short status update where you can share what you're doing with your network, including news, special promotions, and product information. Promotion of products should be done sparingly, but providing helpful information and news about your products is OK as long as you give more than you receive. There are also widgets and applications that can display RSS feeds from your site or blog on your profile.

getting your reader into your character's head
A fellow writer asked recently how to get deeper into your character's point of view.
As I answered the query, I thought, why not share this in my column?
One thing many writers do is inadvertently distance their readers from their characters while striving to get their readers closer. They don't realize they're shooting themselves in the foot. And here's one of the main ways they do it: thought tags.
Thought tags are just that. Tags used to mark a character's thoughts: he realized, she thought, he supposed.
Instead of:
He realized it was getting late.
He blinked at the sun. It was getting late.
Also, such things as 'she heard' and 'he saw' often fall into this category.
Instead of:
Her gaze swept the room and she saw her bracelet on the floor by the fireplace.
Her gaze swept the room, ah, there was her bracelet – on the floor by the fireplace.
If we're in that character's POV, why do we need all the tags to remind the reader? Use them sparingly, because they do distance the reader from the character.

how this editor does what she does
Yes, me speaking as an editor again. Is this getting old? You tell me. But it says something that despite the writing I'm doing (yes, I'm writing and being editor – I gave up sleeping), the things that are hitting me come from the editorial side.
To the point: I came across some interesting remarks lately about submissions editors and the rejection process, questioning how it was done.
I can't speak for all, but I will give a few insights into how I handle a story.
First I look at any info in the cover letter. Name, title and size of story, teaser, previous stories published. This, hopefully, gives me some indication about the story and author. Or not.
Then I look at the story itself.
I've nagged about this before, but the first thing I do is look at the formatting of the story. Am I anal? Yes. But besides the fact that formatting a document with one-inch margins (what is it with the 1.25″ margins – doesn't anyone know what one-inch margins all around means?), standard font, double-spaced, et al, makes it easier for my poor, old (literally, I'm old, folks – a grandmother) eyes to read, when I see a submission properly formatted, then I have a good first impression. Why, you ask? Glad you did: it shows the author pays attention and can follow directions.
Next I start to read. Do I read each submission all the way through?
Depends. I've been a submissions editor on three different zines now, and I don't force myself to keep reading – if the story doesn't catch my attention in the first page or two, I close it and mark it off, whether from bad writing, hokey dialogue, plot – or perhaps what plot, or when-does-the-infodump-stop-and-the-story-start. When that submission queue gets long, believe me, you aren't going to waste your time with a story that doesn't hook you. And if you don't believe that, then go back to Fiction Writing 101 and look up The Hook. So, no. I don't necessarily read the whole thing.
When I do read it all the way through, I go by my gut impression as a reader. Now, I admit, I'm not a reviewer type, or a 'true' editor. I can't go into a story and say, 'This smacks of the irony of Author B, and has a quaint feel of Author K.' Or launch into some grand dissection of the use of theme or this or that. Sorry. I'm not cerebral enough. I go by my stomach and my spine. Does the story make me yawn, or make me feel ill, or make me roll my eyes, or does it make my spine straighten with a 'Wow!' reflex that makes me want to read the story again?
If the last, then the process is done, I put in my vote to buy. But if not, then I have to analyze my impression, try to figure out the 'why?' Sometimes I do. I can go back and see the characters were flat, or the plot was clichéd, or that the writing was too flawed even though the story was decent (probably ask for a rewrite on that one). Sometimes I can't put a finger on it. The story just doesn't work for me.
And that's how I work as a submissions editor. I hope it might help writers just a bit to know how at least one editor approaches submissions. Others may do things differently, and I'd love to see feedback from other editors on the Sword Review Forums.

let's get active
In my last column, I discussed Passive Voice.
This time, we're going to review what some writers call "Passive Writing."
"Passive Writing" can include passive voice, but sometimes when fiction writers refer to "Passive Writing," they're not talking about active voice vs. passive voice sentences. They're talking about showing not telling.
The verb to be is often involved in telling sentences:
it is, it was
he is, he was, she is, she was
there is, there are, there was, there were
this is, this was, that is, that was
This is also where some writers growl at the to be plus -ing construction, marking it as Bad or Wrong. (Sometimes it is, sometimes not. Read Past Verb Tenses to find out more.)
Words like 'started to' and 'began to' are often culprits as well.
Look for all these in your writing. Be aware of them, and use them limitedly, correctly, and wisely.
Let's give an example of telling vs. showing:
Instead of:
She was afraid to walk down the hallway.
She swallowed, her heart pounding, as she gazed down the hallway, her feet frozen to the floor.
Okay, time for some fun. I'm going to list some telling sentences:
It was a dark and stormy night.
She was scared.
The sun was bright.
It was raining.
He began to cry.
There was a strange noise.
She started to walk away.
This was a sad day.
Now, take one or more of the sentences above, rewrite it, and, if you're brave, post it in the Cutting Edge Forum on The Sword Review.*
Granted, not every sentence, every scene in a story needs to be shown, minor points can be glossed over to keep action moving toward a goal, but know and choose to tell consciously and purposefully.
* since those forums are no longer in existence, if you wish to do the above exercise, you could post it as a comment below.

I love a good movie, especially a good chic-flick aka tear jerker. Sometimes it's just the release I need. But I had no idea I'd be taken on an emotional roller coaster when I cuddled up at the local movie theater to watch "August Rush" with my reeses peanut butter cups and mint chocolate chip ice cream. In need of some emotional coaxing? Nooooo. Not me. I just craved chocolate really bad after all that turkey.
One moment I was sobbing, the next I was laughing with glee as the tears continued to roll down my cheeks but with delight instead. Unfortunately, I'm not a movie critic. I can't begin to review the movie and do it justice. But I will tell you if you haven't seen this movie, it's a must see this holiday season. And did I mention Jonathon Rhys Meyers is a hot little Irish shamrock with an accent and smile that will make you melt into your seat and swoon? And his voice, wow. I've already downloaded the soundtrack, something I rarely do, but it was that good.
"Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush"

Tanaka fulfilling huge expectations
NEW YORK -- Though Masahiro Tanaka doesn't nearly have the zip on the ball exhibited in the early part of his Major League career, he has remained injury-free and quietly putting together an outstanding season.
Working into the seventh inning of Monday's crucial 5-3 Labor Day win over the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium, Tanaka was knocked around a little bit, but he displayed the requisite toughness of a right-hander who has pitched seven seasons in Japan and the last three with the Yankees.View Full Game Coverage
NEW YORK -- Though Masahiro Tanaka doesn't nearly have the zip on the ball exhibited in the early part of his Major League career, he has remained injury-free and quietly putting together an outstanding season.
Working into the seventh inning of Monday's crucial 5-3 Labor Day win over the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium, Tanaka was knocked around a little bit, but he displayed the requisite toughness of a right-hander who has pitched seven seasons in Japan and the last three with the Yankees.View Full Game Coverage
Tanaka is 12-4 with a 3.11 ERA, and when you consider that he's pitching in the American League East, and has been slammed with 12 no-decisions this year, his season could have been that much better.
The Yanks have scored just 72 runs for Tanaka in his 28 starts.
"He's pitched great," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Any time you have a three ERA in the AL East, you've pitched very well. He's given us a chance to win a lot of games."
To that point, the Yanks have won 20 of the 28 games Tanaka has started, including the past six in row. He's 5-0 since losing for the last time against the Mets, when he was shelled in a 7-1 loss at Citi Field on Aug. 2.
With their starting rotation narrowed to veterans Tanaka, CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda, rookie Luis Cessa and a fifth starter Girardi called "Johnny Wholestaff," the Yankees don't have much margin for error as they attempt to hang in there for an AL Wild Card spot.
Girardi obviously was kidding when asked what his options are to replace the injured Chad Green against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
"Johnny and Johnny," the manager said. "It could be [Bryan] Mitchell. That hasn't been our plan. There's just some things we've got to talk about and see where we are after Tuesday night."
Green was diagnosed with a sprained right ulnar collateral ligament and a strained flexor tendon after being forced to leave during the second inning of Friday's 8-0 loss to the Orioles. He's out for the remainder of the season.
That makes every Tanaka outing even more important to the now 71-65 Yanks, who are on this concerted stretch run. They only trail first-place Toronto by 5 1/2 games in the division race with 26 games left, and have two games of great importance against the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium the next two nights.
Anything can still happen.
"At the end of the day, you want to see your team win," Tanaka said through his interpreter, Shingo Horie, a former television network employee in Japan. "For me, that's the most important thing. So I don't care so much about the personal numbers. I just care that I'm able to do that, to help us win."
#TanakaTime on Labor Day. �� #LetsGoYankees pic.twitter.com/tjhU9UnrSq- New York Yankees (@Yankees) September 5, 2016
The fact is, that this is the first of rhe three years since signing a seven-year, $155 million contract on Jan. 22, 2014, that Tanaka has remained healthy for just about the entire season. And there's a lot to be said for that.
The Yankees also paid a $20 million positing fee to the Rakuten Golden Eagles, Tanaka's Japanese club, after signing him to the mega deal that gives him opt-out rights after the 2017 season.
Tanaka and the Yanks have had to cope with long stints on the disabled list because of ligament problems in his right elbow two years ago, and a flexor tendon strain in his right forearm last season. After pitching and losing the AL Wild Card Game to Houston last season, Tanaka underwent surgery to remove a bone spur from the elbow, and that's when the healing and the progression to where he is now began.
"I think, ultimately, you have to be able to get up on the mound in order to put up any kind of numbers," Tanaka said. "That said, my success this year should be attributed to just staying healthy and being able to go out when it's my turn and pitch."
The work numbers prove it. Tanaka's 28 starts and 179 1/3 innings are by far his best in the Major Leagues. When he last pitched for Rakuten in 2013, he made 27 starts and logged 212 innings. That season, Tanaka was an ungodly 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA, paving his way toward that huge Yankees contract.
On Monday, the Blue Jays seemed to size Tanaka up early, scoring a run before the third batter of the game. But he pitched out of the inning without any further damage.
Though the Blue Jays continued to hit Tanaka hard, Jose Bautista was thrown out at the plate in the first inning, Melvin Upton Jr., trying to steal second in the fourth, and Bautista again going from first to third on a single to end the fifth. Right fielder Aaron Judge also came scampering in to make a diving catch in front of him with a runner on second to end the second.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
Girardi said that Tanaka didn't have his good slider, but Tanaka was even more expansive about the problems.

"I don't think it was just the slider. I think it was everything, pretty much," Tanaka said. "I felt like I was all over the place. But we came back and scored some runs. There were good defensive plays as well. I think that saved me and that's why we have the win today."
This is what the Yankees expected Tanaka to do, of course, when they signed him. And finally, he is fulfilling the fruits of those expectations.

This is the new Tory party political broadcast (rapidly conceived, apparently, after the original ad was panickingly binned, following the Leaders' Debate on Thursday). I'm afraid I don't have any insightful political commentary on this, just a bit of juvenile mockery.
(C'mon, indulge me: pretend you're surprised.)
I'd like to direct you to the fuckin' DUDE at 0.24 and 0.46. That's the youth vote in the fucking bag. I nearly soiled myself laughing.
Anyway, I reckon it's a pretty weakass ad. Cognitive dissonance 'n' all. But nice light in Camo's back garden, I must say.
Edit: Has anyone else noticed that David Cameron has the most expressive cheek muscles in politics? He's able to radiate a kind of stern, ever-so-slightly camp aura of we-can't-go-on-like-this concern using nothing but his cheeks. It's miraculous: the man is a Paganini of the jowl. If you don't believe me, cover up the whole of his upper face as you watch.

Sam Harris has a rap about how people who like to think about the future of artificial intelligence seem unable to associate the appropriate emotional affect with the dystopian possibilities they envision around AI. Loss of human freedom? Bad in theory, but the details are fascinating. Tweak a variable and see if things get better or worse. Which is more interesting? That's not fair, peace and prosperity are pleasurable to live through but boring to contemplate.
The AI catastrophe is also fun to think about because it assumes that the present will continue in its current mode, and if you're working in the tech sector and feeling no real risk of unemployment or displacement in the short term, the basic working premise of an AI catastrophe in future decades is built on the assumption that you personally will continue to do well in the here and now.
I almost always contrast the techno-visionary mentality, the one that gravitates to the possibilities around developments in artificial intelligence, both utopian and dystopian, with the Doomer mentality. The Doomer is drawn to scenarios in which the current state of civilization is knocked back on its heels, perhaps permanently. She is less likely to have a secure and lucrative job in tech, though the Doomer mentality wins converts even in the nests of insular privilege. The Doomer is more likely to resent those who like to think about robots and advanced computation, and for her, the upside of impending collapse is that it will take down the smug and exalted ones as it grinds everyone into the dirt.
When it comes to emotional affect, the Doomer is not the mirror image of the technophile. When the Doomer contemplates the seizure of the technology-enabled processes that support billions of people on a planet suited to sustaining half a billion without industrial agriculture, she is quite likely to imagine, in vivid detail, the grief, the sense of loss, and the despair that would be the common experience of humanity during the dieback.
The worst case scenario for the Doomer is the crash that crushes everyone EXCEPT the elite. Somehow, their plans for underground luxury bunkers, or mountaintop resort strongholds, or libertarian seastead paradises work out, and they do quite well while everyone else suffers. In this scenario, the Randroid Lords of Silicon Valley hold self-congratulatory colloquies on their artificial islands and cluck in false pity for the poor, clueless masses.
"They were always stupid, and vulgar and lazy, but it's too bad they had to die in such abject misery and barbarism. And it's tragic that the last of them have prolonged their misery for so long. It would be so much easier for everyone if they'd just get on with it and cease their interminable, pointless strivings and make way for the rightful inheritors of the Earth."
In my own skin, I don't worry about the big picture much. My genuine fears are mostly personal, and sometimes, admittedly, quite irrational. I fear for my sons, for the economic landscape in which they will be expected to carve out a living, for their likely encounters with police, with opiates, with self-sabotage and low expectations. Those fears, I think, are rational. The irrational comes when I'm alone in the dark and feel a tingle of supernatural dread. I turn on the lights, even though my rational mind knows that I am alone. My rational mind provides poor comfort.

I can't even tell you how obsessed I am with pesto right now. My amazing friend, Ali, let me borrow some one night when I was in a crunch before dinner. She suggested making Pesto, tomato, and mozzarella paninis. I kicked it up a notch and this is what I came up with! Since this meal I have also done avocado, sweet bell peppers, thinly sliced turkey, pesto and havarti cheese, and HOLY yum! Give it a shot, you will thank me! (And Ali!)
Pesto Panini
4 slices bread
2 Tbs. pesto (I used Knorr brand Pesto Sauce Mix)
1 1/2 Tbs. mayonaise
1 Tbs. EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
Pork Panini
1 medium roma tomato
1 pork loin, thinly sliced and sauteed
mozzarella cheese
Turkey Panini
4 slices turkey
1/2 avocado
1 sweet bell pepper
2 slices havarti cheese
Preheat your panini press.
For the pesto, either use pre-made pesto or purchase a Knorr brand Pesto Sauce Mix. I found this near the gravy mixes in the grocery store. Pour package into a small bowl, and add mayo and EVOO. Spread 1 Tbs. of pesto on 2 of the slices of bread.
Divide tomato, pork, and mozzarella evenly between the bread.
Place the sandwiches in the panini press and close the lid. Grill the sandwich until the bread is toasty and the cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve warm.
Serves 2.

After School Program
After School Program / Monday - Thursday, 4pm - 6pm
Refugee children and youth receive tutoring and homework help during after school hours in sites located within various apartment neighborhoods in Clarkston. The after school sites offer spaces for students to connect with one another while receiving guidance from tutors consisting of volunteers from local universities who commit on a weekly basis. Volunteer recruitment and orientations take place at the beginning of each semester and commitment is by semester. The daily support and bonding that the students experience has shown to improve their grades, behavior, emotional health, and sense of community.
"I served at Raya last fall and really enjoyed my time there! Before hearing about City Hope Community, I never knew there were so many refugees in America. I'm glad there's a community right here at our doorstep we can serve. I love spending time with the Raya children every week helping them keep up with schoolwork, playing with them and listening to the struggles they face. I'm so thankful I can serve God in this way!"
- Angela, Tutor
"My time at Raya has been a humbling experience filled with joyful, unforgettable moments. The students taught me so much about generosity and kindness, and they challenged me to become a better teacher and learner. After two years, I have come away with many valuable friendships."
- Vivian, Tutor


text: The MPhys Theoretical Physics degree is a five-year scheme intended primarily for those wishing to become professional Theoretical Physicists outside academia. It is designed to be comparable with other European physics degrees. Physicists seek to answer the big questions: Can the conditions that existed a few billionths of a second after the Big bang be recreated in the lab? How do fundamental constituents of matter such as quarks and leptons interact? How did the Universe begin? And can we understand what space and time are made of? Students gain unique insights into cutting edge areas of research, including superconductivity, nanotechnology, superstring theory and antimatter. The Year in Industry allows students to experience working as a professional scientist while during their degree course, and the placement organization can be tailored to their interests. Our experience producing high calibre graduates in Theoretical Physics, some of whom work in e.g. high performance computing, informs our Industrial year placement options. The final year MPhys research project covers all aspects of Theoretical Physics, all with expert supervision, and are a reflection of our current research portfolio. We are a very friendly and caring Department in a traditional University. All successful applicants who make Swansea their first choice are guaranteed University Accommodation for their first year. The compact and friendly campus offers a superb seafront location close to the magnificent Gower Penninsula. Physics graduates have a wide choice of career options and good graduate earnings potential.

We don't have a sense of scale for the very small, and gigapan + microscopes (optical or SEM) can go a huge way towards opening the country of the very small to a wider public. Richard Feynman wrote There's plenty of room at the Bottom, but even if you have read that (more than once :-), you still don't get the sense of what 'small' means that you can get from seeing it in a Gigapan.

text: Hi Folks, Well I done it again...LOL (I always get the strangest crap happen to me) If you have ever heard of a rookie in the Fire Dept being called a Black cloud, well that would be me. Just so you know a rookie in the Fire Dept who is a black cloud is a person that when that start at a new fire house they suddenly get a lot of emergency calls, hence the rookie getting blamed for it. I tend to get the strangest things happen to me, so I tend to think I have a black cloud following me around. Anywho....I know a bit about PC's and networks but not up to date, as it's been a while since I really worked on a PC. I used to be on the IT group with EDS, Lockheed Martin and Gateway. Have several MS certs but like I said I kind of stopped working and just did the download thing getting Movies and adult clips, etc. So a neighbor gave me his daughter's PC to work on saying that he thought it have a virus or something else wrong it it. The PC had Windows 8 installed and I hate Windows 8 and windows 10. I love Win 7 and very comfortable using that. Booting up into Win 8 I could ONLY get into the Guest login and not her account. (She had forgotten her PW). Everything seemed ok but not able to install anything or even run anything from the CD rom drive (strange not a DVD or blu-ray). So I found a utility that lets you reset the PW for any accounts on any version of windows from a USB thumb drive. I could not access it though and didn't find out until later it was because of the UEIF in the bios. (I'll come back to that in a minute). I then thought (screw it, I'll just install win7 and be done with it) So I found a what looked to be a cool version of win 7 called Windows 7 Glorious Edition with pre activation. And then I also found something called Yumi which extracts the win 7 ISO onto the thumb drive so it can be installed directly from there using a temporary Multiboot) After messing with the PC for a number of hours I was finally able to install Windows 7 Glorious Edition onto the PC but had somehow created a dual boot system win7 and win8 .... The install did not go smoothly as it showed pop up messages saying that the C driver was corrupted and to run good old scandisk and/or checkdisk. So that's what I did but it found nothing wrong. I finally got into windows only to find in the Device Mgr that the drivers for the USB ports and the Network port were bad. The device mgr listed them in other devices which we all know is not a good thing. I then looked for a fix and found this on the windows 7 forums, I tried it but nothing changed. I tried removing the listed items in other devices and then did find new hardware or check for updated hardware, windows tries to install them but they fail. So that's where I am, stuck with a PC that doesn't have the drivers for the network card/port and bad drivers for the USB ports. It does see the DVD drive. (I installed a new DVD drive) But it doesn't seem to be able to read off the Win 7 disk I made of Windows glorious Edition. I also put that on the USB stick. I was able to ONE time read off the USB stick and reset the PW for the main user and also did the Win 7 install from it but since was not able to read off the USB stick or the DVD. I have gone into the BIOS and managed to turn off or bypass the UEIF by disable secure boot and enable Legacy support and also in system security disable Virtualization Technology. (I think that's right in order to boot from USB or DVD) But it doesn't. I made sure to set the boot options to select USB and DVD read first. BIOS info: says it's Hewlett-Packard Setup utility then at the bottom reads: Version 2.15.1234. Copyright 2013 American Megatrends Inc. I looked up the PC and it is HP - ENVY 700-056 Desktop PC Here's what I'd like to do. Which ever is best and easiest thing to do. Format the entire C drive so that ONLY windows 7 is on it. This would mean reinstalling win 7 from either the USB stick or the DVD. Fix the current install of Windows 7 and then use something like partition magic to get rid of Win 8 and the small partitions that are there to reinstall win 8. Fix the damn BIOS and get rid of the UEIF crap and just have the normal simple Bios. I know this is a lot to read but I figure it's best to give out all the info I can on the situation rather than not to.

e3 2017 and My Thoughts on the Conferences
Hopefully, you caught my YouTube channel live reactions from Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo's conferences. If you haven't yet drop by the channel and check them out. What I want to focus on in this post are the games that caught my attention or that I am looking into picking up when they release. I thought that there was some good variety from each of the big three this year and I think that gamers will agree that there is a little something for everyone at this years e3.
First up, Microsoft. With the reveal of the XBox ONE X, we got a chance to look at the machine as well as the release date and price. The console will drop on November 7, 2017, and will retail for $499.99. Not gonna lie it looks good but it's not in my budget at the moment so if I do pick up one it will be at a later date. Now let's talk games, shall we?
Assassin's Creed Origins: We got a release date for this one and the game will be dropping on October 27, 2017. This game has me hyped for a couple of reasons. One, the game's setting is in ancient Egypt and it looks like the development team has done a lot of research for this one. If you have a chance check out the developer's diary on UbiSoft's YouTube channel. It has been a while since I have played an Assassin's Creed game and I am looking forward to diving into this one later this year.
Dragon Ball Fighter Z: I am a huge Dragon Ball fan and this just looks like a lot of fun to me. Looking forward to learning more about this game in the coming months.
CupHead: I am just glad we finally got a date for this one. I have been looking forward to this game for a while now and I am glad to finally see that it will be ready for release on September 29, 2017.
Crackdown 3: How can you not like a game that has an intro from Terry Crews. Like CupHead, this is a game that I have been waiting to hear more about and this game has also will be getting a release this year. This game is set to release on November 7, 2017.
Anthem: Bioware is known for making some cool games and Anthem looks very interesting. I do have some reservations but that is only because of EA. As far as the game is concerned I think that it has a unique and interesting look. I like the world and think that it can be a game that players can easily lose themselves in, this one is supposedly coming in 2018.
Next up was Sony which had a short conference this year (thankfully). They showed a nice variety of games including some VR titles. There were only a few that I am interested in personally, but overall I thought they had a good showing. I have to say this though, that crowd they had at the presentation was awful. I kinda got the impression that they didn't want to be there or they were just simply unimpressed. It's a shame too as this was probably one of my favorite Sony conferences.
Uncharted Lost Legacy: This is a standalone game from Naughty Dog that is set in the Uncharted game universe. The game looks amazing and just going by the trailer, gamers should be in for quite the ride when the game finally releases.
God of War: Kratos in Norse Mythology, I can dig it. I am interested in seeing how the story will develop from where we left off in God of War III. Seeing as how I was under the impression that Kratos destroyed the world once he took down Zeus. That being said the game does look great and the voice acting is on point as usual. This game has a release window of early 2018 (I think that it is going to get at least one more delay before then) we'll just have to wait and see.
Detroit Become Human: An interesting title to say the least. The game seems to be an adventure game based on choice. I liked what was shown in the trailer. While I didn't see a date this game is on my list of games to look out for in the coming months. Hopefully, we'll get to see more in the future.
Spider-Man: This game not only looked great but brought back a lot of good memories. What was shown was a nice little gameplay segment following Mr. Negative. Needless to say, the game has me hyped as it looked great and the combat seemed smooth and flowed well. There was no concrete release date but we were given Coming in 2018, here's hoping that they can stick to that and the game doesn't get pushed back or delayed.
Finally, with the shortest presentation of the big three, Nintendo gave us a few surprises and a few release dates for some games that we know about. Just as in past years, Nintendo is doing the Treehouse Live events throughout the week. This year in addition to that there are Invitational Tournaments for Pokken Tournament, Splatoon, and ARMS with players from all over the world. All of these can be seen on Twitch and YouTube, so check it out when you have a chance.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2: This game looks great and actually looks better than it did back in January. The trailer shows a lot of new characters and we get a look at the main character Rex and Pyrah. There is a Treehouse Live video showing gameplay and after watching that this game moved to my must purchase list for this year. The game is set for release Holiday 2017.
Fire Emblem Warriors: I am a fan of the Dynasty Warriors series but I also like when KoeiTecmo ventures out to do these type of spin off type games. Hyrule Warriors is one of my favorite games on the Wii U and I am looking forward to the Fire Emblem characters being playable in this title. The trailer looks great and is set to release this fall.
Mario X Rabbids Kingdom Battle: This game came out of nowhere for me. The game looks crazy but fun as well and that's why I will be picking this one up. The Rabbids games are always crazy and weird but adding the Mushroom Kingdom to the mix makes for an interesting time. The trailer gives a good amount of comedy with how the game will play. Looking forward to this one when it releases on August 29, 2017.
Super Mario Odyssey: What is the best way to describe this game? Hmmm, well you throw your hat on a frog and you become the frog. Yep people, if it's a weird gameplay mechanic in a platforming game on Nintendo system then it's probably a Mario title. I can't really do the breakdown justice so please watch the trailer and I think you'll understand why I am picking this game up.
Thanks for reading peeps. These are a few of the games that have caught my eye. Overall I have liked e3 I think that there have been some cool reveals and it's always cool to get release dates. Is it the best e3 ever? In my opinion, no, it isn't but that doesn't mean that it wasn't enjoyable. All I really want to know about are the games anyway and I have been pleasantly surprised by some and others have left me scratching my head. What games are you looking forward to this year? Are you planning on picking up an XBox One X? Let's discuss in the comments and as always thanks for reading.

Sport Water Bottles Are Crucial to Any Sports PersonSport water bottles are an important part of any athletes' general equipment set. Hydration is very important to keep the body functioning as good as possible. When you are not participating in sports, you need to make certain you keep enough fluids in your system to keep your performance at the highest level possible. However, sports bottles are not just for the athlete. If you are interested in improving your general health, drinking a lot of water and other beverages that are low in calories can help ensure that your body is as healthy as possible. Having a high quality bottle that is easy to carry around can do a great deal to help with that. The first step in picking out the best sport water bottles for your needs is to determine what sport or activity you are going to use the bottle for. Bottles with nozzles or flip caps are often preferred by cyclists because they do not require the use of both hands. However, these water bottles are not
The Benefits of Promotional Stainless Steel Water BottlesIn the course of a year, 38 billion water bottles are piled up in lifeless landfills across the world.

How to Ask Questions the Smart Way
General Help on Almost Everything
Super Important Information:
1. This is a Neopets cheating site. Everything you do here creates a risk of you getting iced on Neopets. This includes posting your Neopets name, pets' names, rare items you rs'd, posting super specific stuff about your account, using the programs, using scripts, and buying and selling anything. Playing Neopets at all creates a risk of you being iced.
2. There are different user ranks.
- Member is the first rank. There are no perks to being a user besides being part of an amazing community and the basic functions of the Program Manager. You get 3 rep a day.
- Advanced Membership is $5 USD or you can use credits earned by taking surveys or neopoints (if there is a person willing to trade Neopoints for Advanced for you) 5 rep a day. This also has the advanced settings in Abrosia.
- Advanced+ is earned when another Advanced+ or higher member nominates you and you are voted in. You must be noticed in order to be nominated and most people won't vote you in unless you've posted frequently or stood out in a positive way (like writing a program or telling the history of the world using Mean Girl gifs.) You get 8 rep a day and the rainbow bar. The other perks include advanced settings in Abrosia and the ability to nominate/vote on other users for Advanced+
- Private is the rank between Advanced + and Retired. You must have 1000 posts or more and contribute in a significant way. Unlike Advanced+, Private is done by application. Applications will be opened for the first week of the month and will be voted on by staff and the members of user ranks Private and higher. You get 15 rep, the ability to vote on members applying for Private, a slew of secret projects, a Private chat, advance information on Team Codex, the ability to change member title and the background of your user profile, and a few programs not found anywhere else on the site.
- Retired is the highest non-staff rank and people are nominated and voted in like Advanced+. The criteria for this rank are unknown. It is rare for people to be given the retired rank. The perks are 15 rep, everything Private has, and other stuff.
3. The Trading Post is hidden for new members. You must make 10 posts and be a member for a week in order to see it. Posting in some topics don't count. The topics that DO NOT COUNT towards the 10 post minimum are: Introductions, Trading Post, Chit-chat, and General Entertainment. Spamming in the non-chitchat area can lead to being warned. It's not necessary to create a thread for everything; some things are better said as status updates. If you're a 'high-maintenance' user, you might consider making your introduction thread a place to ask questions and bump it when you wanna ask something minor. Middleman List Here
4. There are two Mystery Pic boards, one for members and one for Advanced and higher. When answers are given (which doesn't happen every single time, but does happen WAY more often than not), the Advanced members get the thread answer a few minutes sooner than normal members.
5. Rep is given by clicking on the little green plus button on the bottom right of a post, above the user's signature. This is nothing more than Viagra for epeen. You can give 3 rep if your Advanced+ or below, 15 if you're private or retired, and unlimited if you're staff. It resets every 24 hours.
6. Neocodex has a Search tool in the upper right of the page. It works.
7. If you experience a malfunction in one of the programs, please use the 'Report Bugs' button. DO NOT PM AN ADMIN.
8. Do NOT use the status updates section to sell or trade in.

Unrestricted access to all features in all programs (BIG HUGE DEAL FOR USING ABROSIA)

The Spectrum elects 2015-16 editor in chief
Senior news editor Tom Dinki elected in unanimous vote
The Spectrum's editorial board unanimously elected Tom Dinki as next year's editor in chief on Sunday. Dinki, a junior English major and current senior news editor at the newspaper, ran unopposed.
"I really want to thank the editorial staff for putting their trust in me," Dinki said of winning the election. "I really think the versatility of being a senior editor on two desks has prepared me to take this position."
Dinki has been involved with The Spectrum for over two years. He worked as a staff writer for two semesters beginning in spring 2013. In spring of 2014, he advanced to assistant sports editor and to senior sports editor that fall. This spring, Dinki became senior news editor.
"Tom is very dedicated to The Spectrum," said Emma Janicki, current managing editor. "He is in the office all the time, even when he doesn't have to be. He has a lot of passion and motivation. I think Tom will make a great editor in chief."
Dinki has prepared for editor in chief by learning the editorial and administrative duties of the position under current Editor in Chief Sara DiNatale.
"I have nothing but the upmost faith in Tom," DiNatale said. "I pushed our election up a little earlier than normal this year because I wanted time to work closely with the winner. Tom sees the digital focus I started putting on The Spectrum and I'm excited to see where he takes it."
Dinki plans on expanding The Spectrum's video desk, created by DiNatale, and giving it the workspace and tools it needs to continue to craft video coverage of important on- and off-campus events. Dinki plans on building on The Spectrum's new website, which was launched in February.
He also wants to ensure all areas of the paper are contributing news stories, including the arts, features and sports sections. This will include writing more investigative stories and focusing on thorough reporting that is news-conscious.
"A year ago, I wouldn't have thought about being editor in chief," Dinki said in his speech. "'Teacher' and 'leader' were not words that I would have used to describe myself. But journalism and The Spectrum have helped me so much, and showed me that I can offer people something constructive through my ideas and input."
Dinki wants The Spectrum's presence as a college media leader to continue under his leadership. The Spectrum has won 17 national awards in the last five years as the largest independent student-run newspaper in the SUNY system.
He also wants to increase the readership of the newspaper – which publishes 7,000 copies of each issue, three times per week – and publish content to The Spectrum's website more regularly, as news is happening.
"I wouldn't run for this position if I didn't think I was prepared for it and could continue to make The Spectrum the award-winning publication it is right now," Dinki said. "The editor in chief needs to be someone who makes The Spectrum [his or her] top priority. This is my top priority."
Rachel Kramer, current managing editor, said Dinki has shown improvement during his time working for the paper and sees his commitment.
"Tom has a strong vision for the future of the paper and I think he will do a great job building a lasting legacy at The Spectrum," Kramer said.
