Windows 7
Dual Monitors - Help Required!
I need help setting up my two monitors.
I recently bought Asus VG248 as a gaming monitor, I would like to use 120HZ while playing games, so I get the smoothest performance. I have Sony KDL-46" TV as my "primary TV". I also have a Denon home theater receiver.
What is the correct way to set these up?
VG248 -> DVI-D cable to Radeon 7870
Sony KDL-46" -> HDMI cable to Denon receiver
Denon Receiver -> HDMI cable to 7870
Denon receiver -> optical audio cable
Right now, I think this is the way they are connected.
The problem is, whenever I turn off Sony KDL, I can only get picture on my Asus 248, but no sound. So I have to have Duplicate monitor on and use both of the monitors 24/7, which is very unneccessary.
I would like to be able to switch between monitors, for movie watching or gaming etc.
I am using Windows 7 64-bit.
Thank you in advance for help, it is really needed.

Check your sound options and see if the default is set to Optical. That might be preventing the PC from using the HDMI sound.
Mine is defaulted to speakers but the other options are available. Yours may be set to optical which is why you need the TV and the Denon receiver turned on. You could use the HDMI outputs to provide sound to both monitors rather than the optical output.

DVI doesn`t carry sound, there`s no path for the sound to get to the Asus monitor.
You need an hdmi cable from the Denon to the Asus. You`d get sound to the Denon and video to the Asus. You would just have to change the output on the Denon to whichever one you have going to the Asus monitor ( with your remote control )
My Sony Bravia has a return audio feed back to my Sony HDTR ( through HDMI ) and when I turn off the tv and the HD set top box, the sound is cut off. Your Sony probably does the same thing and that`s why there`s no sound to the Denon anymore.
If you`re using HDMI as the input for the audio source then that`s all you can use for the output audio source, you just can`t switch it to optical and have sound come out, at least that`s how mine works.
How exactly are you using the optical cable ? If the optic cable is coming from the motherboard you should be able to change the input on the Denon to optical and get sound from the Denon, but not to the Asus.
I hope I read you right, and your not really trying to send audio from your Denon to those 2 Watt speakers on the Asus.
My head hurts
Just get a killer set of headphones and a Gaming keyboard to hookem up to.
What games do you play and what kind of FPS ?

What is your motherboard and/or brand/model PC?
What speakers are you using, or want to use? Speakers managed by the Denon AVR? Or speakers in your VG248 monitor? Or desktop PC speakers? Or the speakers in your KDL TV? Does it vary with the situation or your mood?? This is obviously critical information for us to know in order to diagnose your current issue and suggest the proper wiring and configuration.
As was already explained in an earlier reply, there is no audio delivered on a DVI cable. So if you connect your VG248 via DVI cable to your 7870 then it's impossible to hear anything from speakers which might be present in that monitor. You'd have to use an HDMI cable going from 7870 to the VG248 if you wanted to have sound coming out of the monitor's speakers (if present).
Furthermore, the most crucial setup configuration mechanism is the "playback devices" which is gotten to by right-click on the "speaker" icon in the system tray and selecting "playback devices". This dialog is where you designate which output path you want audio to be sent out through, and also allows you to configure it, and also allows you to "set as default" so you don't have to manually set it every time you boot. But obviously if you set it to use your HDMI output (e.g. going to the VG248 via an HDMI cable, if that's what you are using and the monitor is where you want sound to come from) then you're not going to be sending audio to your Denon via optical from your sound card or out to PC speakers connected to the speaker outputs of your sound card/chip. Audio goes out only one of the possible outputs shown in "playback devices", depending on whichever one you've got currently selected.
I'm guessing that you have real multi-channel loudspeakers supported by your Denon receiver, and that one of your configuration goals is to be able to watch video on your KDL TV or your VG248 and also listen to sound from these speakers. This could be accomplished by (a) using an optical audio cable output from your PC's sound card (assuming it has optical S/PDIF output) going to an optical input of your Denon AVR. You'd check "Realtek digital (optical)" as the output in "playback devices". Now you would ALWAYS get audio from your Denon receiver and real speakers, no matter what you're watching for video.
Note that optical supports DD5.1 audio, but you need to "enable" that in order to get it. When you select "Realtek digital (optical)' in "playback devices, then push the PROPERTIES button to get the properties dialog window. On this properties dialog window select the "supported formats" tab and check all of the multi-channel options. This will now cause true multi-channel digital audio to go out over your optical connection from sound card to the Denon, to feed your multi-channel speaker setup.
Now... for the video. You should continue to use the DVI video cable from 7870 video card to the VG248 (knowing that this will produce NO SOUND from the speakers in the monitor, but that's fine because you probably want to get your multi-channel sound from the speakers managed by the Denon). And you should send HDMI directly from the 7870 video card to your KDL TV (not going through Denon at all, because you don't need to since you're sending optical digital audio from sound card to the Denon).
Or, if you also have ordinary desktop speakers connected to the analog speaker output(s) of your sound card, you can select "speakers" in "playback devices", and then that's where sound will come from.
Again, you will NEVER get sound from the VG248 using a DVI cable. But you don't need it, and you don't want it. Your real speakers from the Denon AVR are most likely what you want to be listening to when gaming, and that will happen via the optical connection from sound card (not video card) to the Denon with all multi-channel formats checked ON in properties dialog for optical output.
If you want to get sound from your KDL TV you can do that (since the HDMI cable from 7870 to the TV supports audio and video). But to activate that you must now check the "HDMI" output in "playback devices" to make it active. Now you will not be getting audio delivered over optical to the Denon, since you've essentially un-checked it when you checked the HDMI output instead. So you won't have sound from your Denon and real speakers, but instead will be getting stereo sound from the TV... if that's what you really want.
Otherwise, leaving the optical audio output checked, you can still get HDMI-delivered video (but no sound) to the TV while getting optical-delivered audio to the Denon. Or, selecting "speakers" gets ordinary analog sound from your desktop PC speakers. Whatever you check in "playback devices", that's where you'll be getting sound from.
Lots of options and choices. But you should have an optical audio connection from PC sound card to the Denon, and run HDMI direct from 7870 to the KDL TV, and run DVI from 7870 to the VG248. Then you use "playback devices" to select audio out of the Denon (via optical), or audio out of the TV (via HDMI), or audio out of your desktop speakers if you have them. Turning off the TV to have video from the VG248 only should be accompanied by optical output (to the Denon) or "speakers" checked, to get sound from your real Denon speakers or desktop PC speakers.

you could also run an optical lead from your pc to your AV receiver, which will carry the sound that the DVI cable doesnt.
From my gaming rig under the carpet i have a HDMI to DVI cable connected to my AV receiver (HDMI IN) and then an optical cable for the sound. I then have 2 DVI cables one to each of my monitors.
Just remember youll have to tell your AV receiver what channel to pic up the audio from when doing different activities.

The SilkRoad saga continues as new admin goes AWOL
It seems like the drama is never ending at the infamous online drug marketplace known as SilkRoad. Over the weekend, Silkroad's new Admin Dread Pirate Roberts (AKA DPR. Not to be confused with the original SilkRoad DPR) signed off from the site with a post informing users that he would release information concerning the arrest of several SilkRoad employees.
The post was made on Saturday and nothing else has been heard from DPR since. Another site admin who goes by the name DefCon says that DPR has entered exile and his whereabouts are unknown. DefCon says that DPR took the sites key used to unlock its Bitcoin storage with him. This means that none of the bitcoins the site held in escrow can be released until DPR's return. DefCon says that SilkRoad users should not worry too much as DPR will return and the digital currency will be returned.

Spain election: Metro eyesore blights Granada
Nestling in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the snow-capped mountain range outside Granada, the village of Pinos Genil is an idyllic setting.
A stream rushes through the valley as men sit chatting at cafe tables in the bright autumn sunshine. But all is not well in this part of Spain.
"This is the worst it's ever been," Vicky Soler, a serene woman in her 50s, tells us. Vicky speaks in clear, unaccented English. She went to school in London after her father, Victor, left Spain in the 1960s to search for work. In the last few years of General Franco's dictatorship there were few opportunities in Andalucia - people survived on subsistence farming and cars were a rare sight in the village.
Victor returned from London in the 1970s with enough money to buy a house and open the cafe by the river Genil. The boom years beckoned as Spain caught up with the rest of Europe.
But the bubble burst and with the current economic crisis, the family fears for their future. Vicky gets what work she can caring for elderly neighbours.
Her son Ricardo serves us coffee. "It's very difficult," he says. "There are no jobs anywhere. Unless you have a career already or are studying, you have to do something like become a waiter."
The family will be voting for the opposition conservative Popular Party (PP) in Sunday's election. They blame the current Socialist government for the country's situation. They spent too much money, says Vicky. "Then the prime minister lied to us," she says. "He said there was no crisis."
Thwarted ambitions
But the crisis is laid bare down the road in Granada.
The city is a tourist Mecca, known for the magnificent Moorish architecture of the Alhambra Palace.
The city's authorities decided to construct a metro system to help deal with traffic congestion. Hundreds of millions of euros were invested in the project - some 15km (nine miles) of track, part over-ground, part underground.
But five years after starting, huge swathes of Granada are still a construction site - and workmen are few and far between. The money has run out. The original deadline of early 2012 for completion is a fantasy.
The governing Socialists admit the austerity measures they have implemented are painful, but insist they are the only way to avoid the political and economic instability that has plagued Italy and Greece in recent weeks. They promise they will maintain important social programmes - and warn that the PP would not do so. The PP, say the Socialists, are hiding plans for harsher cuts behind a vague manifesto.
"It was meant to be a beautiful wide avenue with lots of trees," says Henry O'Connell Sanchez, gazing at Granada's Camino de Ronda. Originally one of the city's busiest streets, it is now one vast building site, littered with wire fencing, concrete blocks and holes in the ground.
Henry was born here and now runs an English academy. "The businesses are all closing or are already closed - we're talking family businesses who've been working here all their lives."
In fact, 1,262 businesses in and around Granada have had to close as a result of the metro project, according to a local newspaper, Granada Hoy. And after the regional government stopped funding the project, the contractors had to lay off 90% of their workers. That in turn is another bitter blow to the construction industry, which has already borne the brunt of Spain's crisis.
Anti-eviction campaign
Antonio Redondo, 32, was laid off from his job in the building industry two years ago. When his money ran out he could no longer afford his mortgage payments. A meeting with his bank manager was a waste of time, he tells me. "He didn't offer any solution. The bank told me they would repossess my house, and leave me with a huge debt to pay."
That debt was over 100,000 euros (£86,000). Despite paying his mortgage on time for six years, the devaluation in property value and a peculiarity of Spanish mortgage law meant Antonio was going to be left homeless, in enormous debt and without any income - or hope of finding a job.
In desperation and with no apparent legal recourse, Antonio turned to "Stop Desahucios" - Stop Evictions. The group sprang up around Spain after the "Indignados" (the Indignants) protest movement captured the nation's imagination. As unemployment soars and state help is cut, more and more people face losing their homes. Cases like Antonio's are becoming common - and the protesters are getting creative.
"We found a guitar player and singer - and someone else to dance," says Antonio with a grin. "About fifty of us went into the bank one Friday afternoon with signs and started singing."
The protest embarrassed the bank - and it phoned three days later offering to negotiate terms on his house. Antonio is resigned to losing his house but crucially it seems that the bank is prepared to waive the enormous debt.
Antonio and his friends in the Granada protest movement reflect a widespread opinion when they say they will not vote for either of Spain's main parties. The crisis is the fault of the politicians, they say, and voters should look to radical alternatives.
"Our success proves there is a different way," he says.
The Popular Party's plans are short on detail, but Vicky in Pinos Genil still has confidence in them. "I trust them with the economy, although I don't envy Mariano Rajoy," she says, referring to the PP leader, tipped to become prime minister. "I wouldn't want to be in his skin. It's going to be really difficult."

City of Arts and Sciences (Valencia, Spain)6 12 Share Tweet
As if brought back from another time and another world, the City of Arts and Sciences has become the image of Valencia to the rest of the world.
Having a hometown with an impressive and photogenic architectural complex like the City of Arts and Sciences is a great advantage for amateur photographers. There is not a week that goes by that I do not go at least once loaded with a pair of cameras to try to get that angle that I missed or have left for another occasion.
The building complex is built on what was originally the bed of the Turia River, which crossed the city and that was diverted after the great flood of 1957 that devastated Valencia. In 1980, it was converted into a garden and today is the lung of the city.
The buildings that make up the complex are:
· L'Hemispheric: first building opened in 1998 and designed by Santiago Calatrava. Eye-shaped and even has his "eyes" that open and close. It is an IMAX theater with a projection surface of 900 square meters.
·Prince Felipe Museum of Sciences: opened in November 13, 2000, and also designed by Santiago Calatrava, is an interactive museum dedicated to science, technology, and environmental conservation. Personally, it is the building of the complex that I like the most, with that aspect of whale or dinosaur skeleton.
· L'Oceanographic: designed by architect Félix Candela and engineers Domingo and Carlos Alberto Lázaro, it was inaugurated in December 12, 2002 and is the largest aquarium in Europe. It reproduced different marine habitats, occupying an area of 110,000 square meters, and houses a total of 42 million liters of water.
· Queen Sofia Palace of Arts : the work of Santiago Calatrava, it was inaugurated in October 8, 2005. Noted for its large deck wheel and is very similar to the Tenerife Auditorium also designed by Calatrava.
· L'Assut de l'Or Bridge: Opened to traffic in December 2008 after long years of construction and remodeling project, it is also designed by Santiago Calatrava. It is also popularly known (because of it similarity) as the "Ham".
· L'Umbracle: This is an urban garden, designed by Santiago Calatrava. It has excellent views to the other buildings in the complex. Today, it houses an exhibition on dinosaurs that is enjoyed by children.
· The Agora: Also a work by Santiago Calatrava. Although not yet finished its construction. It currently lacks movable covers that will regulate the entry of light. It's been in use since November 2009.
In addition to these existing buildings, there are plans for the future construction of three impressive skyscrapers, Las Torres Valencia, Castellón, and Alicante, 308 m, 266 m and 220 m. The models of these can be seen in the Principe Felipe Museum. Currently this project (also by Santiago Calatrava) is completely paralyzed and there is little chance that it will be carried forward.

After having updated the desktop version of Google , Google is now rolling out an update to mobile web version of the Social Networking service. Google in a post said the update aims to 'improve the look and feel of Google on the mobile web'.
Google redesign makes posts now appear as "cards" in the stream, which is likely to make it easier for users reading and 1'ing and re-sharing them. The Profiles and Pages have also been redesigned to include cover photos and larger touch-tap targets.
As you can notice, the change to the mobile version of the service is similar to those made for the desktop recently. At the Google I/O 2013 event, the Internet giant announced a new layout for Google with a special emphasis on photos, mimicing Facebook and Pinterest. The update announced at the event included 41 new features, including larger photos, automatic addition of related hashtags, and multi-column layout.
Google earlier this week rolled out these updates to the Android version of Google . The Google for Android v4.0 has such new features as auto-highlight and auto-enhance functionality, which automatically edit pictures as well as lets you choose which in the lot are the most interesting for the uploads. Read more about the update here.
Here's how Google on the mobile web looks:

IMDB rate: 5,7
Genre: Found-Footage, Supernatural
So I finally got around watching V/H/S, I've wanted to see this movie for quite some time but I never got around watching it. I was very impressed by the trailer, but it was not really what I expected from it. From what I've heard, many people disliked the movie and expected a whole different movie than what it was. I did not really disliked the movie but it was a whole lot less scary than what I've expected.
What did I expect from it? Well, I'm not quite sure. From the trailer I've expected sick torturing or sacrifices. I don't know, but I do know that I expected a whole lot more from it then what it was. Some of the tapes were just lame, and not even slightly shocking or scary. Sure, it had some scary elements but the trailer showed them all already so it was nothing new unfortunately. The movie seemed to be all about tits and evil woman in the end, so kinda boring if you ask me.
This is an anthology of horror episodes that are tied together with one main story. It's about a group of guys who go round filming their crimes on tape. They are hired to do a 'job' for an unknown accomplice. They have to break in to a house and steal a V/H/S tape with something on it, but they aren't told what it is. While in the said house they find way more than just one tape, so they grab as many as they can and they start watching them while in the house. But what they see on these tapes is more than they can handle, and it's also hard to believe. But will it cost them more than they bargained for?
This movie reminded me of a whole lot other horror movies. It was like some segments were inspired by other horror movies or such. It was not that it was exactly the same but it had some of the same elements in them. For example, Grave Encounters, The Tapes, Blair Witch and The Last Exorcism. One segment even reminded me of the game Slender Man. But like I already said, it's not an exact copy, just some parts of it seem to be inspired by one of those movies. It's not really a bad thing because at some point everything has been done already so it's getting hard to be original.
The acting was reasonable, in some segments not that good and in some a little bit better. While the movie was not what I expected from it, I did like it. Some parts did creep me out, but it could have been much better. I've heard that V/H/S/2 is a lot better compared to this movie so I'm excited to watch it at some point.
This movie existed from different segments and they appeared in this order: Tape 56, Amateur Night, Second Honeymoon, Tuesday the 17th, The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger and 10/31/1998. Tape 56 was the main story that you saw every time a segment ended.
I will list each segment in the order that I liked them.
1. Amateur Night
This segment appears to be the favorite one of everybody. Which isn't strange because it was simply the best one. The girl in this segment immediately creeped me out. Those eyes, oh man, so scary. Because the movie started with this segment (apart from Tape 56) I expected a whole lot from it, because it immediately scared me, that was a wrong thought but it didn't make this segment less good. It was really good, especially compared to the rest.
I liked this segment because it contained a bit of humor. It had some good jump scares because of suddenly showing ghosts and such but after a while it became a bit lame. From the moment that the guys rescued the lady this segment became boring. It was not even slightly scary anymore. You did care for the guys though because after everything they came back to rescue the lady, and well, when everything goes wrong for them, you actually cared a bit. This is quite something for this movie because for the others in the other segments I couldn't care less what happened to them.
3. The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger
Starting from this one it became really dull. The acting was terrible in this segment. Also, the ghost suddenly showing up behind Emily was the only scary thing about it. I don't even understand what the use of this segment was. The ghosts were scary yeah, but what does a fetus and a chip in her arm have to do with ghosts? Kinda lame if you ask me.
4.Tape 56
Everybody in this tape was an asshole. So as you can imagine, I couldn't care less what would happen to them. It had some scary elements in it, like the thing walking in the background or the dead dude sitting in the chair who suddenly disappears and reappears again. But that's about it.
5. Second Honeymoon
Another lame story with terrible acting. A girl knocks on the door, asks something, goes away. Everybody freaks out. Girl sneaks in at night, films them, puts a toothbrush in the toilet (that was a bit funny) and goes away again. Some useless time filling scenes, again the girl with the camera filming the guy, cuts his throat and goes away with the girl. Plot: The woman was part of the plan and wanted her husband killed. Why not a divorce?
6. Tuesday the 17th
This one reminded me of Slender Man. But with pixels. I guess that's the best description: Slender Man in Pixels. Not a good story, not worth talking about.
The movie was not that bad but not good either. It contained some scary elements but most of the movie was boring and had a stupid story. None of the stories are explained so you're mainly unsatisfied after watching it. I'm not sure if I can recommend it. Opinions about the segments differ a lot so you might actually enjoy segments that I did not enjoy. It's not a must see movie but if you like found footage movies you might like it.
My personal rate: 5,5

Radical "Leftists" Ambush Israeli Leader at Nazi Museum– Call For Destruction of Israel
Now here's a hateful group of people…
Radical "Leftists" in burkas ambushed Shimon Peres in France today at a Nazi museum calling for Israel to be erased.
A protestor is held by police officers as Israeli President Shimon Peres, not pictured, visits the Resistance and Deportation History Center in Lyon, central France, Wednesday, March 12, 2008. Peres is in France on a five-day state visit.

Shimon Peres was ambushed at a Nazi museum by young "Leftists" calling for the destruction of Israel. The Gaza supporters chanted, "The resistance in Gaza is legitimate," and, "We want to see Israel erased"…
At a Nazi museum.
YNET News reported:
President Shimon Peres encountered some not so pleasant left-wing protestors on Wednesday during a visit to a museum on Nazi resistance groups during World War II in the French city of Lyon as part of his official state visit to the European country.
Some far left activists held a demonstration at the museum where they dubbed Peres and Israel "criminal," called for Israel "to be erased," and said "the resistance in Gaza is legitimate."
The incident led to a brief scuffle when French police arrived on the scene and attempted to use force to evacuate the protestors.

Police struggled with the demonstrators for several minutes before they managed to expel them from the area.
A member of the president's delegation said: "The calls for Israel's destruction are severe given the sensitivity of the place (where they were uttered). Nonetheless, this is an extreme left radical group that does not comprise a significant bloc in regional politics."

Reached the hotel,refreshed, got into some dashing clothes and off we went for dinner first. Reached Taco Cabanas,a Mexican restaurant near our hotel. Just didn't undertand one word on the menu card, and Ashwin did all the explaining to the waiter about our need for veg food.No meat,no frying in non-veg pans etc!It was an effort.Finally had a strange item that was a combination of rice,roti,rajma and papads - sorry, can't pronounce the name of the dish even now!Generally fooling around the place on the dinner table, with full manners - fork, spoon,towel on the lap etc - oof, just wish I could eat with my hands, full Indian style!So much easier!
We then took off to the city side of San Antonio.Was struck by the huge malls,arcades,car dealer joints,roads,lights,hoardings etc.As Ashwin said,"Everything in the US is big".Naughty fellow!On the way back, we stopped at iHOP, a coffee joint.Am not usually too much of a coffee drinker,prefer good old tea,but this iHOP coffee was quite something else.And the pancake with the banana sauce to go with it made my mouth water.Lip smacking dish!Reached the hotel after that and was in deep conversation with the crowd, before hitting the sack at around 3 a.m.
Saturday,ah, the laziest morning of the week!Got up at 11.30 a.m(mom would've freaked had I done that at home, but well, charms of being alone!).Went to the bank near our hotel and encashed the cheque for the month.Was half-expecting a nice, attractive blonde at the teller counter,only to run into a hunk with a crew-cut!Groan!Collected the cash,stopped at the nearby foodmart,bought milk and Pringles wafers and back to the room and watched a nice Michelle Pfeifer movie, Dangerous Minds. It was about a bunch of students who did everything but study in school and how she transforms them into good human beings. Good that I was indoors,as it was just too hot outside,almost a 100 degrees Fahrenheit!
Spent the evening in the electronics world at Circuit City and Best Buy.What products!What a range of electronic goodies!Incredible product features,amazing utility value,tremendous value for money.Checked out a couple of laptops and digital cameras.Will indulge in them before I leave for India in August!Mind blowing stuff!
Sunday began with another laidback morning. Nothing too spectacular till the evening, actually.Watched The Untouchables in the afternoon.Will just say that I was speechless at the end of it!Must see movie,for anybody even remotely interested in classy movies.Sunday evening was big bang!Ashwin turned up with his brand new Nissan Centra car, with a crocodile frontage.And we hit the road for a long drive on IH 10,a lovely freeway,just outside San Antonio!Beautiful car,lovely moon up above and was left wondering what I am doing with guys around me in a brand new car on a warm summer's night on a Sunday night!Groan!We ordered food from Papa John's and it definitely has to rank as the best pizza I have ever had.This is the second time in two weeks that I've tried that place and its quite something else.Wish they open an outlet in India, I will surely be one of their regular customers!
After the pizza,it was back to the room and a long walk around our Budget Suites hotel just past 11 p.m. with Roopa.Nice,engaging conversation!Walked her back to her room,chatted for another hour and then went off to my room to sleep.Further conversation with my room mate,Hari before we hit the sack at 3 a.m.!
Interesting weekend,I must say, a nice mixture of rest,sleep,doing nothing,and then overbalancing that with outings,drives,pizzas and internet chats!

Last week Michael and I celebrated our ten-year anniversary. And I must say, they have been amazing years. I have a wonderful guy. I remember when I was much younger and would hear of someone celebrating their tenth anniversary. I thought it was such a long time. And I guess it is quite a while, but man has it flown by! You can see a little bit of our wedding day in this post from Michael (and the very sweet thing he had to say about me :) )
We didn't have big plans for the day. It was very low key, but nice to just do whatever we wanted for the day and not have to be anywhere.
That morning Lucy and I got out our new paint because she wanted to make something for us. While she was painting I decided to make a little something for Michael (Obviously, I am not a painter). You can see a bit of it up above.
Lucy made us a sweet little painting.
I absolutely love it. Can you see where she wrote mom and dad at the bottom? Sweet. And this little bird it just too cute...She also picked up this little birdhouse at the craft store the other day and painted it for us. I especially like the blue around the inside of the hole.
I love that we are a family who likes to make things for each other and I hope that value sticks with our kids. I don't expect all of our gifts (received and given) to be handmade, but it is nice to take the time to create something for someone else or to know someone took the time to make something especially for you.

Morata has no intention of leaving Real Madrid
Alvaro Morata has attempted to end speculation of a move to Arsenal by insisting he wants to stay and fight for his place at Real Madrid.
The 21-year-old has only made one league start this season and reports had suggested he is a transfer target for Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger during the January transfer window.
Morata came off the bench to score Real's fifth goal against Real Betis on Saturday, his third league goal of the season, and after the game was adamant that his future lies in the Spanish capital.
"Despite everything that is being said, I'm happy here. I want to stay," he said.
"I have spoken with the coach and the club, and I talk every day with my team-mates.
"If I have to help by playing a few minutes here and there, I'll do it, but it's even better if I get a few more.
"There are a lot of things being said, but I want to stay here and keep working hard and improving. I have been at this club for my whole life and it is the best in the world.
"The best are here and I want to help when I am needed."

So who is ready for part 2 of the Wellness Challenge! This week I wanted to focus on mental health and take it a step further into mental wellness. As a trained marriage and family counselor, this is my area of expertise, helping people learn how to cope with their circumstances in ways which will help them overcome and grow rather than avoid or be manipulated by their circumstances. While mental illness is definitely a big deal (it is a subject for another time because it is so important it deserves its own space), we don't want to just avoid mental illness, we also want to thrive, and that is mental wellness. This is a preventative measure against developing mental illness.
For those struggling with anxiety and depression, many of these unhealthy coping mechanisms may look familiar to you, but it is definitely possible to incorporate the healthy coping mechanisms I listed below as well! So that is why my week two goal is to continue to incorporate these Healthy coping strategies into my everyday life. And you should too, because mental wellness is affected and effects every part of your life. As we saw last week, it affects your relationships, especially your marriage; it affects work, parenting, it even affects your physical health.
I recently read a blog post, 15 Unhealthy Coping Skills, written by Jackie over at Laughter & Loving Life. And it got me thinking there are so many unhealthy coping skills that we all engage in on a daily basis. I have seen so many unhealthy coping skills in my experience as a family counselor, used by both children and adults. But what I have noticed is that no matter what strategy they used, the point to these unhealthy coping skills was to avoid the problem and having to deal with it. Here are the 15 unhealthy coping skills Jackie came up with:
Unhealthy Coping Skills
- Leave without warning
- Fighting & negative comebacks
- Defensiveness
- Flight-mentally
- Sleeping away the problem
- Passive-aggressive behavior (ultimatums)
- Negative body language: crossed arms, rolled eyes, crossed and closed off legs and arms
- Not listening but jumping in waiting to talk
- Avoiding eye contact
- Over-eating
- Under-eating
- Lack of sleep
- Letting go of reality
- Lack of proper hygiene
- Lack of communication
If we always use unhealthy coping mechanisms, we will never feel as though we have overcome the situation that is causing the stress in the first place. In fact, it will probably cause more issues and we will continue the cycle of unhealthy coping by avoiding those extra issues by using the same unhealthy patterns. It may temporarily make us feel better, but in the long run we have solved nothing, but avoiding a problem. And until the problem is solved, we will continue to be plagued by the circumstances we are actively avoiding. That is not a way to live well; which is something we should all be striving for!
So from a family counselor here are 15 Healthy counter coping strategies to try out instead of the ones above. I have compiled this list from talking to clients about what works for them in difficult situations and other suggestions that other counselors often give their own clients, as well as things that have worked for me in the past.
Healthy Coping Skills
- Stay present in the moment, take in as much information as you an – it might help later
- Maintain a positive attitude – being negative has never solved anyone's problems; positivity breed creativity for ways out of the issue
- At least try to identify the role you play in the situation – and share it if you can
- Maintain healthy sleep hygiene – only stay in bed to sleep, make your bedroom a safe haven
- Be confrontational (this is not a negative) if necessary, this simply means pointing out discrepant facts
- Be an active listener – engage in the Speaker-Listening technique
- Eat Healthy – fruits, vegetables, protein, healthy carbs, avoid sugars and alcohol
- Exercise – even if it's just a little bit, every small amount helps
- Talk to somebody, but don't just bash the stressor (especially if it's a person), but talk about your feelings about the situation
- Shower, brush your teeth, brush your hair, put some clothes on (other than yoga pants)
- Make a pro-con list, weigh the options of the whatever decisions might need to be made – don't avoid them
- Take some time for self-care – pamper yourself a bit, go get a mani/pedi or do one yourself or whatever makes you feel good
- Check out for a bit, but don't let it be for too long – checking out can be helpful in extreme stress situations, but maintaining that position is just avoidant
- Seek support, don't isolate yourself
- Relax, take a deep breath, practice any sort of relaxation technique that works for you: deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, etc.
So there you have it, 15 healthy coping mechanisms that I would recommend to any of my clients. Not all coping skills will work for everyone in all situations, but I am sure there is at least one or two that can be used in any situation by any person. With the New Year just starting, here is my challenge to you, try to replace one of your unhealthy coping skills with one of the healthy choices from the 2nd list. Try it out and see if it helps!
Let me know if it does or doesn't and why it did or didn't work for you! But it is my suspicion that while it may be more uncomfortable in the moment, it will help you solve the issue more quickly which will remove an even bigger discomfort! So choose emotional health this New Year! And don't just settle for the absense of mental illness or lessened severity of mental illness, strive for mental health and above that mental wellness, and just maybe you'll find yourself growing in the year 20171
So your challenge this week: pick 2 to 3 unhealthy coping mechanisms and try to replace them with 1 or 2 Healthy Coping Mechanisms. Try it for a week and see if it makes a difference for you!

Hi and thanks for having me here today!
I'm just back from a reader convention in beautiful Gatlinburg, Tennessee. As always, I'm completely exhausted - too much fun will do that to you - but energized as well. There's nothing quite like spending time with Readers to remind me that this writing gig isn't just about me, and I always come home wanting to work so that I can have another book to share.
When I first started writing, the idea of a Reader was really something I only understood in the abstract. I mean, I knew (or at least I hoped) that people would read my books, and I wanted to write books that readers would enjoy. But "Readers" were almost mythical beings; we talked about them, hoped to please them, but actually seeing them? Talking to them? It wasn't something I could wrap my head around and really, truly, believe in.
Which is why I love reader events. It turns out that Readers are real! They come in all kinds of varieties from all walks of life, and they love books as much as I do. It's so much fun to meet people who can dissect the nuances of the Alpha Male, appreciate the beauty of the grovel, and sigh over the perfect kiss. With readers, I can make a comparison to Jamie Fraser or Ash and it's not only understood, but also met with same melt of the heart.
And readers are so much fun! Away from the pressures of day-to-day life and surrounded by others who "get" them, anything goes! (I felt like quite the party pooper sometimes with my "it's really late. I have to go to bed" whine.) I'm telling you, the energy was just terrific, and I laughed so much my cheeks hurt.
(There's only one damper on events like this: so many people introduce themselves and say "I'm not a writer. I'm just a reader." Just a reader? Ack! I hate that phrase. Readers make this possible. Without Readers, writers are people in their pajamas talking to themselves. Readers make the voices in my head a viable career instead of a reason to be institutionalized. Please promise me you'll never call yourself "just a reader." You're a Reader with a capital R and should be respected as such.)
So I'm home now and nowhere near caught up on my sleep, but I'm completely psyched to write something new and fun for all the Readers out there. It's a little like pressure, but in the best possible sense of it. I'm feeling creative, but the creativity is coming from a different source - it's a side effect of all that terrific energy that the Readers fed me over the weekend.
So I'm off to start something new. Something I hope the Readers will enjoy. And I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to hang out with more awesome Readers. (But I may have to take a quick nap first!)
In the meantime, I do have a book out this month: Redemption of a Hollywood Starlet, the last book in my Marshall brothers trilogy. (And I have a huge crush on Finn...)
Here's the blurb:
The Marshalls...
A rich, powerful family that mixes business, politics... and pleasure.
If the US had a royal family - this would be it!
The tabloids just couldn't get enough of A-List couple hotshot producer Finn Marshall and Hollywood wild-child Caitlyn Reese. Then Caitlyn fled the glaring lights of Tinseltown, leaving an indelible mark on the Walk of Fame - and an empty seat on the back of his motorbike.
Now Cait is back! She's still got the X-factor, and Finn is struggling to banish his X-rated thoughts! Because one thing is for sure...he isn't just interested in a quick Hollywood retake...To interest him, it'll have to be a full-budget epic remake...
This is the third Marshall book. The other two are The Privileged and the Damned and The Power and the Glory.

For years now, savvy ice fishermen have been using their Vexilars to check the depth of the water without drilling any holes in the ice. Simply put, shooting through the ice to read the depth saves time, energy and also prevents spooking fish by avoiding drilling unnecessary holes. Lets take a further look into the reasons and how we do this.
Although it is obvious we need to eventually drill a hole to fish, drilling lots of holes can spook the fish particularly in shallow water situations. But how do we know where to drill the holes until we can get a depth reading anyway? The answer lies in the principal of how a depth finder works. You can actually use your depth finder on top of the ice to show you a picture of what is below you. How? Believe it or not, sound waves actually travel better through most hard material then they do the air or water.
By simply placing the Vexilar Ice-Ducer (transducer) or LPS-1 on top of smooth ice, you can view what is happening as if you had the transducer directly in the water. However, a little bit of water is needed on the ice to seal the transducer to the face of the ice. If the transducer is not tight to the ice then the unit will not read correctly. Squirt enough water onto the ice so that the transducer face will entirely touch wetted ice. Dont worry about ruining the transducer. Shooting through the ice will not damage the transducer so go ahead and try it a few times. Just wet the ice and try a reading, if you cant find bottom, squirt more water and try again. If that doesnt work make sure you change the depth setting on the unit to make sure the unit will be able to capture the depth. If that still doesnt work, then try a different spot.
Factors that will influence the effectiveness of shooting through the ice include: air bubbles in the ice, cracks, debris and basically anything between the transducer and the water that has a different density then the ice itself. Anything in the ice, whether it is air or debris will either absorb or deflect the sound waves and disrupt the reading. When in doubt simply move over a little and try again.
Because shooting through the ice requires you to read through two different materials of differing density (water and ice), you may need to increase the gain (sensitivity) on your Vexilar in order to read the depth and what is in the water column. Simply turn the dial up until you mark bottom. LPS- s do this automatically.
The ideal condition for shooting through the ice is totally clear ice. However, you will be surprised at how effective this is at reading bottom in many different ice conditions. During the early ice stage, you can normally take a reading just about anywhere on the ice. By the time winter is in full swing, youll have to clean off the snow to get down to bare ice. Late ice is difficult to shoot through at all, due to the deterioration as the sun eats away at it. A quick tip is to take advantage of previously drilled holes of other ice fishermen. Even when the holes have a lot of new ice, it is usually clear ice and will give you a great reading.
Seeing fish is easy too. When you get the gain set correctly, seeing fish underneath you can be just as easy as if the transducer were directly in the water. Simply look for the classical green or red marks between the ice and bottom.
Time and efficiency are important for effective ice fishing. Using your equipment to the fullest will allow you be more effective and help you to catch more fish. Be sure to carry a bottle of water with you next time you venture onto the ice and use your Vexilar to paint the picture underneath you before you even have to start the ice auger.

Krysten Ritter & Mindy Kaling: Hilarity for Charity Event!
Krysten Ritter and Mindy Kaling hit up the 2013 Hilarity for Charity Event held at Avalon on Thursday (April 25) in Hollywood.
The 31-year-old actress and Mindy, 33, were joined at the event by the charity's founders Seth Rogen and wife Lauren Miller, along with Jack Black, Zoe Lister-Jones, Ahna O'Reilly, Nia Vardalos, and the Backstreet Boys – Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, and Brian Littrell.
"In the 70s, things like cancer were very taboo to talk about. Now it is on the forefront of things that are getting charitable attention," Seth told THR about the charity that brings Alzheimer's awareness to younger generations. "Bringing Alzheimer's into the limelight is what we're trying to do."
The crew raised over $400,000 at the event – congrats!

2015 Term Deposits – Star Ratings
If you have a large amount of money burning a hole in your pocket, parking it in a term deposit is still the favoured method of investment. But term deposits vary widely to cater for a range of customer needs. The interest rates, too, are up and down. That?s why it?s important to check all rates in the market place before committing your cash for the term of your choice.While acknowledging that term deposits really are all about the money, our research also factors in other features that round out a bank?s suite of term deposit offerings. These include features such as how you can open an account with the institution you would like to use for your term deposit, and interest payment options and penalties in the event of early withdrawal.
We also look at how maturity is handled – what sort of reminder or instruction do you receive, and how much it costs at maturity to transfer your money to another financial institution. Is there a free bank cheque or free direct credit? Or, if you decide to stay with the same institution, will you be rewarded with a rollover bonus?
While the interest rate is the interest rate for all to see, many of the features of term deposits are not top of mind for customers until the moment they are needed. A term deposit that considers the customer and makes it easy for them at every step guarantees a fuss-free and helpful experience – enhancing the desire to do repeat business with that particular financial institution.
For this rating CANSTAR researched 99 term deposits offered by 79 providers. We compared each product across two term deposit amounts, $10K and $75K and six weighted term tiers. Our full methodology document is at the end of this report.
We hope you benefit from our extensive research, aimed at making these products more transparent.

Great article on understanding hospitals, the do's, don'ts, knows and nots.
While hospitals can provide a secure refuge when you are seriously ill, remember that hospitals can be scary places! For one thing, the very fact that your doctor wants you to be admitted into hospital means that he thinks you are quite ill and this in itself can generate considerable anxiety! Even worse, hospitals can be very unfriendly places. Not only do hospitals strip you of all your dignity (having to wear a half-open hospital gown which barely covers your body properly does not do much good to your ego!), but also they subject you to painful routines and humiliating rituals performed by a retinue of strangers. Moreover, you could be woken up at any time of the day, (or night), deprived of your privacy, forced to eat unpalatable food, cut off from friends and family, and denied a lot of the independence which you take so much for granted in daily life. Also, remember that hospitals can be dangerous to your health as well! Hospital-acquired infections have become increasingly common ( since a number of sick patients are gathered together under one roof); and errors and mix-ups are not unusual at all, especially in India, where the paramedical staff is often poorly trained.
Check it out here.
What's under the gown in the South African Medical Fraternity? Doctors, Surgeons, Practices, Hospitals and the funny, sometimes controversial stories that go with them. Seeeeriouuuus Seeeeesssta!

Oh, while the infections we can get from hospitals scares me most, the using of medical scrubs or whatever you might call it is something excruciating... but for the sake of health it would be good though... Nice post. I loved it.

Wicca is an oath-bound mystery religion, focused primarily on honoring the God and Goddess, while celebrating the cycles of birth, life, death and rebirth - through the passing of the seasons. Though often touted as an ancient religion, Wicca, as it is currently practiced, is relatively modern. Introduced publicly by Gerald Gardner in the early part of the 20th century, it is a mix of witchcraft, ceremonial magic and other older Pagan religions.
In addition to personal spiritual practices, Wiccan rituals are typically celebrated on the Sabbats and Esbats. Sabbats are held on the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarter days, while Esbats are held monthly at the full moon. Though both the God and Goddess are always honored at these ceremonies, Sabbats (which are solar in nature) relate primarily to the God's journey through the Wheel of the Year, while Esbats (which are lunar in nature) are focused on the Goddess.
Along with the Three-fold Law, Wiccans generally follow some version of the Wiccan Rede. This is often cited as part of a longer poem by Doreen Valiente, but is in fact only eight words long, essentially stating 'An it harm none, do as ye will. Though some take this as a blanket prohibition on causing harm, it does not expressly state that one cannot cause harm - only that if it doesn't cause such, then an action may be taken freely. The deeper meaning to the Rede however, is that that one should always consider their actions carefully before taking them, and be willing to accept the consequences of such actions - particularly if it is an action that may cause harm.
Though many often confuse the practice of Wicca with Satanism, the two have no connection. As a Christian concept, Satan has no place in Wiccan practice or beliefs. Part of the misconception is due to the fact that Wiccans practice Witchcraft, which many Christians see as being "evil." However, as with most things in life, the use of magic is not inherently bad or good - what matters is how one uses it.

From automotive to mobility supplier: Schaeffler is putting solutions for Mobility for Tomorrow and change at the center of its exhibition presence at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2017.
"We are showing how the visions for autonomous driving, electrification and networking can be made a reality," says Prof. Peter Gutzmer, deputy CEO and chief technology officer of Schaeffler AG. "The automotive industry is undergoing a dramatic change in which we are playing a role as a development partner."
The attention grabber on the stand is Schaeffler's bio-hybrid, a compact mobility solution for urban areas. This covered mini-vehicle offers more than just protection from the weather. Its four wheels provide high driving stability and with a length of only just over two meters and a width of 85 cm, it occupies very little space. Propulsion is via an electric powertrain designed by Schaeffler.
"The mobility requirements in rapidly expanding urban areas will change in the future," explains Prof. Gutzmer. "It is not enough for us just to produce abstract sketches of our visions. Our ready-to-go prototypes show that we have the capability to make actual products."
Schaeffler is also addressing the change which is happening at the component level and is presenting its contributions to the field of digitalization. The rolling bearing, which is the technology company's conventional product, is becoming a sensor for the networked automobiles of the future. Sensor coatings incorporated in the bearings at a microscopic level will allow them to measure torques, revolutions, forces and temperatures in the future - and thus supply invaluable data.
"The automobile will become part of the Internet of Things," according to Prof. Gutzmer. "Our sensor bearings, which are being fitted wherever components move and forces occur, provide drivers, fleet managers and garages with first-hand data."
Electromechanical actuators, such as the active roll control system which Schaeffler has already put into production, will be able to provide data to the Internet of Things in the future. The active roll control system compensates movements in automobile chassis caused by driving around corners or on uneven road surfaces.
When combined with intelligent wheel bearings, a high-accuracy satellite navigation system and a communications module, it may, in the future, be possible to produce a real-time image of the condition of the road. This could then be used to send information to vehicles following behind or to the infrastructure operator.
Transmissions for future, electrified generations of vehicles are a further point of focus for Schaeffler at the exhibition - for example in self-driving taxis which can navigate their way through cities autonomously. In this case, all the drive components, with the exception of the battery, are located within the wheel.
This makes it possible to have automobiles which have an extremely good usable space/footprint ratio whilst at the same time offering excellent maneuverability. "The urban spaces of the future will require the smallest possible traffic footprint with the maximum mobility," says Prof. Gutzmer.
"Innovative drive concepts such as the wheel hub motor make new types of mobility possible and are extremely significant components as far as digitalization is concerned." The level of electrification in conventional vehicles is already increasing. Schaeffler is therefore presenting the technical solutions required for this at CES. This ranges from 48V technologies, through high voltage modules for plug-in hybrid vehicles, to electric axes for purely electric vehicles.
"At CES, we are once again showing how Schaeffler's recently unveiled strategy Mobility for Tomorrow is now becoming a technical reality," explains Prof. Gutzmer. "At the same time, we are open to new partnerships with start-ups who are looking for a partner to work with to make their future mobility ideas a reality as well."
Schaeffler is putting a great deal of effort into expanding its research and development network and is putting particular emphasis in this area on digitalization. Just in October 2016, the mobility supplier announced a far-reaching collaboration with IBM which will see the development of new technologies and business models for the digital age.

GMA Hall of Fame: Martin Gaston
We continue to profile the winners of last year's Games Media Awards, as we speed towards the event on Thursday October 18th. This week we speak to Martin Gaston, the reviews editor at Videogamer.com, who was named the GMA Rising Star in 2011…
How did it feel to win a Games Media Award last year?
It was amazing! I often like to present myself as a bit of a sassy chap, so like a real winner I quietly crept out of the event for a bit and cried like a big sissy. It's always nice to be on the receiving end of something nice, basically. If anyone reading this voted for me, thank you!
What do the GMAs mean to the games press community?
I wouldn't dare speak for the whole games press, but they certainly mean a lot to me. It's easy to pretend that you're a bit too cool to want approval from your peers, but I've never been a very cool person to begin with.
Other than winning a GMA, what has been your biggest achievement to date?
Convincing Tom and James Orry to let me have a job, and every time I manage to write something that somebody enjoys.
Which of your competitors do you admire, and why?
I love the passion and talent of the whole Eurogamer team, who set the bar that I fail miserably at beating on a daily basis. GameSpot UK's video work is sublime and perpetually enviable, and I think Tom Francis' article about ending BioShock is one of the most amazing things about gaming ever written.
Who's your favourite non-games writer?
Gabriel Garca Mrquez does things with imagery that other human beings could only dream of. I'd love to see him review Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
What's the best press trip you've been on?
A publisher once took me on an absolutely phenomenal trip to New York where I got to go in a whizzy helicopter, eat a pizza bigger than a car wheel and see the Statue of Liberty. It was one of the best things I have ever done in my whole life and I cannot thank them enough for the opportunity. In return, I produced a rather lukewarm preview of the game I was sent to see. I hope they still like me.
What's the best advice you've been given?
A one-two punch of sage wisdom from one of my best friends in the world: Write for your audience and don't write for free.
And what advice would you give to someone hoping to work in the games media space?
Write for your audience and don't write for free.
If you weren't working in games media, what would you be doing?
Sitting in a dark room wearing only my pants and playing Dota 2, only not getting paid for it.
Who would be your Games Media Award Legend?
I'm afraid I'd have to split it between Guy Cocker, Wesley Yin-Poole and Christian Donlan. Sorry! All three are at the top of their game and have given me support and encouragement when I needed it. I am much too shy to ever thank them in person.
The Games Media Awards will this year take place on Thursday October 18th and return to the super chic Vinopolis, Bankside.Russell Kane, winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, will be the host for the evening.You can follow the gma twitter feed at @GamesMediaAward.

British mercy-mission volunteers battling to help out in squalor-ridden refugee camps have condemned the Calais 'chaos' left too untended by European leaders.
Refugees from Afghanistan, Syria and Iran were helped by a makeshift group of helpers prompted to cross the Channel after being moved by the migrants' plight.
But the trip organiser told Metro he was shocked not only by the abject conditions faced by the 5,000 stranded in Calais but also the lack of organisation among those trying to assist.
Jamie Cutteridge, from Wandsworth in south-west London, organised the ad hoc visit, appealing on Facebook and Twitter for supplies.
He and a group of friends managed to cram five cars with donations including food, tents, clothes and sanitary products.
They found a dispiriting lack of organisation on the ground - yet widespread awareness among migrants that David Cameron had described them as 'a swarm'.
Mr Cutteridge told Metro: 'We've received a lot of support from people frustrated by the situation and frustrated how this has been seen too much as a political crisis rather than a humanitarian crisis.
'It's amazing how many people in the camp were aware of that "swarm" comment and tried to say they were anything but.
'We too want to see them as people worth caring for.'
One of the main base-points was a makeshift church managed by two middle-aged volunteers, storing supplies but lacking much help to distribute them.
Tickets are handed out to camp residents, to be exchanged for donations, but Mr Cuttridge found fellow helpers were few and far between.
He said: 'I was struck less than the physical needs of people than by the lack of logistics.'
He added: 'It was a long day, setting off at 4am and getting back at midnight - and it felt very strange.
'The camp feels so temporary, everything is ramshackle.
'In some ways it looks like the last day of Glastonbury rather than somewhere people actually live, with people aiming to stay there only one or two nights only to find themselves stuck there.'
He befriended one Ethiopian giving the name David who arrived three months ago and tried every night to sneak his way through the Eurotunnel.
'He was giving himself a night off ahead of the next attempt, when another 400 or 500 would be attempting the same,'
'Too much of the response has been seeing this as a political crisis rather than a humanitarian crisis.'
Another grateful recipient was Mustapha, who had never been to England but spoke with a 'broad Brummie accent' after being visited by Midlands-based relatives.
Mr Cutteridge said: 'No one was talking about the benefits system in the UK - they just want to get a job, and support family back home or be with family over here.
'People have been very generous, as have plenty in Calais, but I'm now trying to think how might be the best way to support them logistically next time.

As the duly appointed and designated host of the TechRepublic Microsoft Windows Blog, I am tasked with trying to keep up with the news that swirls around Microsoft practically every day. Recently, there was a press release/conference/story about a new development project called Silverlight Rough Cut Editor (RCE). RCE is a browser-based video editor. Quoting from the RCE download Web site on MSDN:
"Silverlight Rough Cut Editor (RCE) simplifies the editing and publishing process, enabling real-time, browser-based video editing, and providing the ability for publishers to improve collaboration, manage dynamic metadata and deliver exciting content to the Web.
RCE provides media organizations with a lightweight, Web-based tool that editors anywhere can use to assemble and edit video, audio, images, and XAML overlays with time code accurate control."
There are a couple of interesting points to note: 1) Silverlight Rough Cut Editor is a free download, and 2) the technology was used by NBC for the Winter Olympics, so it seems to actually work and work well. But the question I would like to consider is whether RCE will be widely adopted.
A quick and dirty Google search, "browser-based video editing," reveals a multitude of choices besides RCE. Does Microsoft have the gravitas in the video-editing tool and development space to separate RCE from the rest of the pack? What do you think? Take the poll and then join the discussion to tell us why or why not. And if you have downloaded and tried RCE gives us your impression — how well does it work?

So…I've started a new blog. Yikes! I can't even keep up with this one lately. But…there it is. It will not replace Divine Graffiti…I'll still be here talking about the things I talk about, don't you worry.
Third Culture Shock is my attempt to unravel the mysteries of growing up an American, blonde-haired, blue-eyed kid in another country. I have shied away from dealing with that aspect of my life for a very long time and in the past year, as I come to a newer awareness of who I am, I have had to hit it head on. I used to laugh when I heard about people needing to "find themselves." I'm not laughing anymore baby.
To continue to stuff down the fact that I'm just a little different than many of my friends is simply self-destructive and to deny that the first 18 years of my life didn't and haven't impacted the choices I've made and am making is foolish. So, let the therapy begin.
With this separate blog dedicated to the discussion of Third Culture Kids…I've opened a "can of worms" as one friend put it. He's right. But, I have to do it.

If you're a beginner at ice fishing, you'll want to follow these tips from Frabill at Blain's Farm & Fleet.
Frabill's Ice Expert Dan Galusha recommends anyone wanting to start ice fishing should go after the panfish end of things. This will the fisherman action and save money on ice fishing tackle and equipment, all while letting them see how well they actually like it. Below are the basic ice fishing techniques he suggests for any beginning ice angler.
1. Starting on the ice is not expensive. The basic ice fishing equiptment tools are a rod / reel combination, an ice auger, jigs and bait. Galusha also suggests adding portable ice fishing shelters to your gear, especially after the first few times if the decision has been made to stay in the sport.
2. Galusha suggests a spinning combination with 24″ light action rod. He specifically recommends the Frabill 24″ Ultra Light Panfish Popper Plus Ice Combo for its ease of use and spring bobber. If budget allows, purchase two combinations. The reels are ultra lights, which can also be used during open water times of the year.
3. Next, comes an auger. This tool is essential, and a hand model may be preferred at the beginning, mainly because of cost. If you think you'll stick the the sport, Galusha suggests a power auger. They cut through the ice quicker than manual models, but they do cost more.
4. Another essential of the sport is a stool to sit on while you're out on the ice. Frabill has a combination of bucket and seat called a Sit-N-Fish, which also has an area for bait and tackle. This multi-functional product has a padded foam snap – on seat lid and beverage holders on inner bucket lid.
5. When it comes to ice fishing lures, Galusha recommends sticking to the basics. It's good to have an assortment of sizes, which you can switch up when the action gets slow.
6. Wax worms are a good all around bait, but make sure to have some jars of Berkley Powerbait Biodegradable Crappie Nibbles as well.
7. A portable ice fishing shelter is a great piece of equipment for any ice angler, no matter what level of experience. For a few more dollars, two- to three-man ice shelters can be purchased which will give room for a buddy, as well as extra equipment.
8. Ice fishing safety is very important, so be sure to have the proper warm clothing, including a good pair of gloves. Frostbite and hypothermia can be a serious problem for ice anglers. Wear thick gear like an ice fishing parka and flannel lined jeans.
9. Another product for safety on the lake is a set of ice picks that are worn around the neck on a cord. Hopefully a person will never have to use this device, but if they fall through the ice, it is the easiest way, other than having a rope thrown out by another person, to pull out of the hole.
10. As with everything, remember, safety first. Make sure the ice is thick enough (at least 3 to 4 inches). Check the ice fishing reports in your area. If possible, go with a buddy or near a group of other ice fishers. Even experienced ice fishermen can find themselves in some tricky situations if they let their guard down.

Amritsar: The customs department today said that as per an Archeology Survey of India (ASI) report, over 500 coins which were recovered near Indo-Pak international border in Amritsar last year, are of antique nature and some of these could be as much as 2000 years old.
Addressing the media here, Amritsar customs commissioner Sanjay Gahlot said as per an ASI report, 539 coins belong to ancient times likes Indo-Greek, Mughal, Lodhi empire and Takshila, Kushan periods.
Some of the coins were are as much as 2,000 years old, he said.
He said these coins have been handed over to ASI, considering their historical importance and national heritage value.
These coins are priceless and their estimated value may be in several crores rupees, he said.
The customs department had seized 539 coins last year from a Pakistani and an Indian national who crossed over to India from Pakistan at Attari border in Punjab's Amritsar district.
Later, the two were relesed but the coins were handed over to ASI, he said. A special committee has been formed to find out the motive in bringing these coins to India from Pakistan he added. PTI
