Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with Smoked Almonds and Sea Salt
"To. Die. For."
"I love this ice cream. I hope you never make it again. I want to eat the whole thing. Incredible!"
"Mmmmm. Mmmmmm!"
"Don't bother dropping some off for me the next time you make this. I'll just be waiting outside until you do."
These are some of the comments I've gotten on this ice cream. The best part? It's super simple to make and you can all make it right in your own homes, with no special ingredients. It's also egg free.
It's Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream, and I'm in love with it. You can take her base recipe and go wild from there--you're only limited by your imagination. I'll be buying the book, as well. I already know I'll be reading it cover to cover.
What's different about these ice creams from Jeni Britton Bauer is that they're thickened with corn starch. I know, right? Corn starch, a bit of cream cheese, and the usual cream, milk and sugar, and you have this magical concoction that, when churned in your ice cream maker, turn into the creamiest, dreamiest ice cream in the world. The corns starch helps to absorb and hold water, resulting in an ice cream that isn't icy or gritty. It's just perfect.
I had this ice cream, "The Darkest Ice Cream in the World," bookmarked since last summer. I was browsing my bookmarks and decided it was finally time to give this a try--and I'm so happy that I did! My add-ins were chopped, smoked almonds and coarse sea salt. What a wonderful combination! The salt perfectly compliments the sweetness of the ice cream (which isn't any sweeter than any other ice cream), and the almonds add nice crunch, chew and that element of "Hey, what's that I'm tasting?"
So to make this cream, follow this recipe. Jeni likes to chill the heated ingredients in a large Ziploc bag, submerged in an ice bath. I opted to pour mine into a 2 quart container and chill it overnight because I couldn't get to it right away. I also doubled the recipe to make 2 quarts because I have a larger ice cream maker.
While your ice cream is churning according to manufacturer's directions, measure out about 1-1/2 tsp of coarse sea salt, and chop about 3/4 cup of smoked almonds. When it's finished churning, scoop some of the ice cream into a freezer safe container. Layer in some of the coarse salt and some of the chopped smoked almonds, than add another layer of ice cream, and keep going until you've added all of the salt, nuts and ice cream. Take a rubber spatula or large spoon and just kind of poke it around in the ice cream so the layers get all messed up and the stuff gets distributed. Freeze for at least four hours or overnight so it cures.
A note about the coarse sea salt. Don't worry about where to find some. You can find it in nearly any grocery store right next to the other salts. I got this one for less than $2. The Smoked Almonds are from Blue Diamond.
I find that you don't even need to let this sit out on the counter before scooping. It's rich and scoopable, and ready to go. Stay tuned for more ice cream recipes based on this idea!
Oh, and this ice cream is fabulous on top of one of these Even Better Than Ultimate Brownies. Trust me. Heaven in a bowl.

Information technology -- Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information: Systems
ISO/IEC 13818-1:2007 specifies the system layer of the coding. It was developed principally to support the combination of the video and audio coding methods defined in ISO/IEC 13818-2 and ISO/IEC 13818-3. The system layer supports six basic functions:
- the synchronization of multiple compressed streams on decoding;
- the interleaving of multiple compressed streams into a single stream;
- the initialization of buffering for decoding start up;
- continuous buffer management;
- time identification;
- multiplexing and signalling of various components in a system stream.
An ISO/IEC 13818-1:2007 multiplexed bit stream is either a Transport Stream or a Program Stream. Both streams are constructed from PES packets and packets containing other necessary information. Both stream types support multiplexing of video and audio compressed streams from one program with a common time base.
The Transport Stream additionally supports the multiplexing of video and audio compressed streams from multiple programs with independent time bases. For almost error-free environments the Program Stream is generally more appropriate, supporting software processing of program information. The Transport Stream is more suitable for use in environments where errors are likely.
An ISO/IEC 13818-1:2007 multiplexed bit stream, whether a Transport Stream or a Program Stream, is constructed in two layers: the outermost layer is the system layer, and the innermost is the compression layer. The system layer provides the functions necessary for using one or more compressed data streams in a system. The video and audio parts of ISO/IEC 13818-1:2007 define the compression coding layer for audio and video data. Coding of other types of data is not defined by ISO/IEC 13818-1:2007, but is supported by the system layer provided that the other types of data adhere to the constraints defined in 2.7.

Category: SET TOP BOXES
Apple TV is scheduled to launch in Australia at the end of the month and it's one of the best (and most cost-effective) media centre products around.
What's more, it's not exclusive to just the one PC. If you have a network in your home you can also stream content from up to five additional PCs with a few simple button touches.
That means you can view podcasts, trailers, film clips, photos and other content you've downloaded on your TV, as well as listen to your music, using the included remote.
It comes with a 40GB hard drive to store content locally for faster streaming.
The box, which is both sleek and small (it measures in at 7.7-inches by 7.7-inches), connects to your TV via an HDMI port or component video and audio ports. iTunes automatically detects that you have plugged in Apple TV. Then the built-in wireless capability automatically syncs your iTunes from the PCs in your house.
Anytime you change your iTunes library, the content on Apple TV changes to reflect that.
Another neat feature is automatic bookmarking. For example, you could be watching a podcast on your iPod video on the way home from work.
If you don't finish watching it by the time you're home, you can plug the iPod into iTunes and continue watching it on Apple TV.
The bookmarking feature automatically knows that you were halfway through it and gives you the option to start watching again from the beginning or to resume where you left off.
Also on the way
The arrival of Apple TV will see several other products come to market.
Apple is also launching AirPort Extreme to coincide with Apple TV, so you can create a wireless network using only your computer. This allows you to share a printer or share a network and is ideal for getting the best experience from Apple TV.
Cables are also an essential part of the launch. Out-of-the-box, Apple TV only comes with a power cable. This is because different cables are required for different home theatre configurations, so you will need to be aware of what cables you'll need before you buy the product.
Xtreme Cables will be featuring prominently in Apple stores, especially its range of HD cables.
Xtreme will also be launching a four-way HDMI switcher that allows you to plug in four HD products at the same time, such as Apple TV or a PS3.
Cleverly, the switcher has the same dimensions as the Apple TV box as well as the same look and feel, so they can be stacked neatly on top of each other.
Apple has not confirmed an exact date for the launch but it is expected to be around the end of March.
It will retail for $449.

Category: ACCESSORIES
PayPal has launched an accessory that plugs into your smartphone and, along with an application, facilitates mobile credit card transactions.
PayPal claims the tool is ideal for small businesses, service providers and casual sellers allowing them to conveniently make credit card payments and PayPal transactions securely while on the go. It also enables merchants to process, manage and track payments.
The encrypted card reader itself is incredibly lightweight and is currently only compatible with Apple's iPhone, despite plugging into the generic 3.5 mm auxiliary port. However, an Android application is "expected for general release soon" enabling the same functionality for droid users.
The application acts as a mobile point of sale interface, compiling numbers on internal inventory and itemising company-branded invoices which can be distributed via sms or email.
There's no set up costs for the application and card reader with PayPal instead charging a fee per transaction. In the press release footnotes, the pricing is outlined as:
Merchants using PayPal Here will be charged a fee per transaction of 2.4% + 30 cents for swipe transactions, and 2.9% + 30cents for manual key-in and scanned transactions.
No new account is needed, just the linking of their Premier or Business PayPal account to their existing bank account. Once linked, payments are deposited immediately to a seller's PayPal account.
Brad Paterson, the Head of New Ventures, Paypal Asia Pacific said: "PayPal Here will provide Australian small businesses with a unique, convenient and easy-to-use solution to process payments while on the go. With no other solution of its kind in the Australian market, PayPal Here complements PayPal's online payment solution, by enabling merchants to accept payments online, offline and manage their entire cash flow in one place."
Currently rising Near Field Communication (NFC) technology allows smartphones to be tapped against a compatible chip for transactions below $100. PayPal's Here is an interesting solution that brings similar technology to Apple's iPhone, while ridding the transaction limit.
The swipe device will be free for any business owner who registers here within the first six months.

How do you say "let's not exchange this year?"
A little while ago, Lynn & I discussed not exchanging gifts for Christmas amongst the adults. She and I are capable of buying anything we need and want, and we just can't swallow buying gifts for a compulsive hoarder anymore. There are budgets to consider, and we thought this might be best for everyone. But then Mom learned of this, and thus began the guilt.
The Gifts
I know I've written a lot about gifts on notjustclutter.com already, but this is an ongoing issue in my family. Mom firmly believes that Christmas and other family traditions are deeply routed in gift giving and receiving. I would rather our traditions be experiential, and memory-forming. For instance, I love that we sit as a family and decorate gingerbread men and houses on Boxing Day. We chat, we share, we praise each others creativity despite clumsy icing bags, and it's good fun for the kids. I remember that more than what I unwrapped, or even what I gave to others. I don't want to see the art of gift giving turn into obligation. I don't want to see anyone feel left out around the tree on Christmas morning, either, while the kids tear into their brightly wrapped boxes.
The truth is that if Mom wasn't a compulsive hoarder, I would want to guy her gifts. I like to put thought into presents and she has so many interests, I usually had a good time looking for something to suit her. But she is a hoarder, and has so much stuff that anything I give gets lost in the mountain. Like a large canvas family portrait I gave her a few years ago…did that actually make it up on the wall? Don't think so. How about the new computer desk chair she asked for and Lynn gave her? It's still at Lynn's, in the box, 3 years later. And that Kobo we bought her for Mother's Day 2 years ago? She tells us she's still working her way through the books we loaded on it for her, and sometimes she still just loves a paperback. But she'd admitted to another friend that she lost it, and now I know my own Mother lies to me.
The Guilt
After Lynn told her what she and I had decided about exchanging, Mom called ME to vent. She's unhappy we want to just give up that tradition, and she's mad she wasn't included in the decision making. She wasn't included mainly because when we DO try to discuss it with her, she shuts down and gets defensive…like she is now. I'm a peace maker, and always end up trying to please everyone. I empathize with both Lynn and Mom, but I'm the one who tries the hardest to compromise. I hate seeing Mom upset, even when I can logically tell this is a guilt trip. I try suggesting we draw names so we're just buying for one adult and still respecting budgets, etc. She didn't like that idea either. Essentially, she claimed:
"You and Lynn have already decided on this, so fine, have it your way. But just know that it won't feel like Christmas to me."
Well, that's great, Mom. Thanks for announcing so far in advance that you plan on being a lead balloon during our family togetherness time. You stomp your foot and cross your arms with a pout, and the rest of us will decorate gingerbread men.
Is there a solution?
If there is a way to better deal with gifts and guilt with hoarders, I'd love to hear it. I'm at my wits end. I want to be glad I have my loved ones around me, and we're all healthy and happy. That's what I really want for Christmas. Forget the stuff. Forget the wrapping, ribbons, and bows. Forget the generic greeting cards, and the over-packaged plastic toys, batteries not included. I'm asking Santa for family unity.

The crew members alter history when they travel back in time to the American Revolution.
Good news, everyone.
Remember when you askedto see my family tree?
This is my ancestor
Philo Farnsworth,inventor of television,
and as a bonus,childhood obesity.
And here's Dean Farnsworth,
developer of the Farnsworth Testfor Colorblindness.
Where is he, blasted?!
And just recently, I learnedof a modern-day Farnsworth
who inventedthe Anti-Senility Truss.
That's you,Professor.
Ah, yes,the Farnsworths boast
a proud anddistinguished lineage.
No wormy fruiton this tree.
What about Fry?
Isn't he yourdistant uncle?(snoring)
Very distant.
Not a true Farnsworth, mind you.
He's way over hereon this filthy branch
riddled with fungusand dung beetles.
(snoring, gasps)
What's with the17 dung beetles?
Well, it's 6:00.
I guess we'll have to deliverthat human heart tomorrow.
Good work, people.(whooping)
Time to go clubbing!
Baby seals, here I come.
(sighs)Guess I better headover to my night job.
You have a night job?
Yup. It's exhausting,
but I need the extra moneyto buy coffee
so I can stay awakefor my night job.
But...Got to go!
(crickets chirping)
You've got a surprisingamount of algae
in your beard,Mr. President.
Just sit still and let thealgae-eater do its work.
Oh! Ow!
Oh! Lay off my trademark mole!
Hi, Lars.
I'm heading outto my night job.
Remember, no loud noise,no head bowling,
and no parties,or it'll be your ass in a jar.
I want to go to that museum!
"Mr. Revere,
"pray do not'fhit' your pants.
"The British attackhas begun.
Cross the river andwatch for my signal."
I must ride.
(horse whinnies)
He has so much stuff.
He won't miss this.
Let's burn these counterfeits
and paddle the next swan boatthe hell out of Boston.
Here you go.Thanks.
Say, where did youget that lantern?
From that old churchto the north.
They had two burning, so Ifigured they wouldn't miss one.
"One if by land,two if by sea."
The British are coming.The British are coming.
By land. By land.
Gotta treat this OCD.Gotta treat this OCD.
Fry, you dope.
You've really screwedthe grannie this time.
History neededthat second lantern.
We'd better stopPaul Revere before...
(in English accent):I guess everything worked out
jolly all right,eh, governor?
(in English accent): What's withthe fruity accent, ducky?
Bollocks, I got it, too.
(in English accent): Where's allthe Presidents heads, then?

By now, you've probably looked at the weather report, only to find that alert for 10 inches of snow, right? Bah. Thanks, January. But, really, it's just another day of trekking through the arctic, desperately trying not to slip in that slushy mess. Still, no matter how hard you try, you always seem to find yourself landing on your keister at least once every year. So, chances are you need some trusty footwear (those ankle booties and ballet flats just aren't going to cut it) that'll transport you from your front door to everywhere else without that weather-related injury.
Well, fortunately for you, we culled 25 functional-yet-stylish snow boots that'll get you through this blustery season without any accidental falls. In fact, these beauties are so good, you may just wish for another six weeks of winter — despite what that groundhog might tell us in February.

The 2006 Goblin Valley ultra marathon was held on Oct. 28. Anita Fromm is the event organizer. She said, "Once again, excluding two runners who dropped from the 50Km to the 25Km during the race, we had a 100 percent finish rate, for both the 25Km and 50Km. One 25Km contestant even completed the entire 50Km course.
"Our volunteers were awesome once again, and really made this event special for the 88 50Km and 30 25Km finishers. We couldn't have done it without them. Special thanks to the Emery County Sheriff's Office, search and rescue, and Green River Chamber of Commerce for all their help organizing and running the event, and all the aid station volunteers, course sweeps, finish line timers, food service, and multitude of others behind the scenes people who made the event a great success. The support we received for such a remote event was truly exceptional. Thanks to the Green River Coffee Company for hosting the pre-race check-in and pasta dinner, Goblin Valley State Park for letting us start and finish in such a natural wonder and their support during the race, and the United States Bureau of Land Management for permitting the race to be run on BLM roads and their support during the race," said Fromm.
The Goblin Valley 50 Km course is primarily a gently rolling out and back course, run on BLM dirt roads and trails in Goblin Valley State Park. There is about a mile of pavement inside the park. The course was well marked with flagging, arrows, and flour or chalk. The 25 km course was also out and back, with the turnaround at the location of the second aid station of the 50 km course. The relatively level course and good footing make this an ideal race for a fast time.
Goblin Valley State Park sits at 5,000 feet. The course elevation ranges from approximately 4,600 to 5,100 feet.
Every starter of the 2006 Goblin Valley 50 Km and 25 Km received a long sleeve, high quality dry release t-shirt. Everyone finishing within the nine hour time limit received a beautiful custom made finisher's medal. Awards were given to the top three overall male and female finishers in the 25K and 50K races. Age group awards were not presented. Awards for the top three male and female finishers in the 50K were handmade bowls created by the legendary ultra-running Tarahumara Indians who live in Copper Canyon in Mexico, and awards for the top three male and female finishers in the 25K were hand made rawhide drums made by the Tarahumara.

Clouser Minnow - 2/0 - Black
Price: $5.95
Brand: Umpqua
Straight up the best baitfish fly ever tied!
More details...
Product Details
Straight up the best baitfish fly ever made, and I don't think that anyone would disagree with me on that. Any fish that eats other fish will eat a clouser minnow if it sees it. I fished for six weeks in Baja Sur, Mexico a few years ago and after two days realized that it was the only fly I needed. And I only fished that fly for the rest of the trip with great success. It should really be one of the first flies to go into a saltwater box, and one of the first to be fished.

An estimated $2.9 million in stimulus money will flow to Emery County in the next year. In June 1974, Congress enacted the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act, which directed the Secretary of the Interior to proceed with a program to enhance and protect the quality of water available in the Colorado River for use in the United States and Republic of Mexico. The Colorado River and its tributaries provide municipal and industrial water to about 27 million people and irrigation water to nearly 4 million acres of land in the United States. The threat of salinity is a major concern. Salinity affects agricultural, municipal, and industrial water users.
Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Company has received a grant to proceed with a project which will result in a reduction of salt into the Colorado River. The proposed project will construct: 5.1 miles of pipeline; three pressure reducing stations and two connections to existing regulating ponds. The proposed structures and pipeline will replace 9.1 miles of earthen canals and eliminate winter water in an additional 20.1 miles of canal.
The money stems from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
The $2.9 million comes from a pot of $11 million ARRA dollars set aside for the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program.
It is anticipated that the implementation of this project will result in a total annual reduction of approximately 3,156 tons of salt. This reduction in salinity will prevent economic damages from occurring in the lower Colorado River Basin. The project will also enable the share holders to make more efficient use of water through the improvements.
HCIC is excited about the local short term economic boost this money will create in Emery County from the construction. The project will also result in considerable water savings for HCIC through eliminating seepage and evaporation losses in the canals and by eliminating winter stock water. It is estimated there is a 30 percent water loss in the existing canals. The canal company share holders will benefit from the additional water saved by eliminating the 9.1 miles of canals. In the past a large amount of water and ditch rider's time was needed to get stock water to the end of the canals in the winter. This project will completely eliminate all winter water in HCIC's canals saving time, money, and water.
This 2.9 million dollar salinity project is part of a larger $60 million dollar project that will bring pressurized irrigation to the Huntington/Cleveland area and replace more than 300 miles of irrigation canals and ditches. HCIC started pursuing funding for the larger salinity project back in March of 2004 and is proud to announce that more than 70 percent of the overall project is complete.
HCIC recently received an award at the Utah Nonpoint Source Water Quality Conference for their reducing pollutants into the natural water ways. The Huntington Cleveland Irrigation Salinity Reduction Project is the largest of its kind and has drawn national attention. HCIC is grateful for the help they have received from the share holders, local government agencies, Nielson Construction, PacifiCorp and their engineering consultant, JUB Engineers. The HCIC president, vice president and board members have put a lot of time into making this project successful.
Another project HCIC is involved with this fall is the repair of the Miller's Flat Reservoir. The level of the reservoir has been reduced to allow for these repairs to take place. There has been some sluffage on the side of the reservoir and some seepage of water. The state water resources has issued HCIC a grant for $390,000 to make the necessary repairs to the reservoir.
HCIC is very concerned about the condition of Miller's Flat reservoir. They were told if the repairs weren't completed then they might not be able to fill and use the reservoir for the 2010 irrigation season.
HCIC is also getting estimates on the costs associated with raising the capacity of Ralfston and Miller's Flat reservoirs.
HCIC opened the bids for the repair project at Miller's Flat. The project is to begin right away as the weather will be a factor in getting the work completed this fall. The bids received for the project were: P&K Contractors from Coalville bid $577,179. SunRock from Spanish Fork bid $369,776.50. Nelco from Price bid $510,295. Nielson Construction from Huntington bid $373,289.
The project will include excavation, clearing and grubbing of repair area, ground drain work, concrete, weir boxes, steel pipe installation, installation of a drainage blanket to collect water, extend outlets. The grant money is a 90/10 match and HCIC will come up with their 10 percent match. The completion date is listed as Nov. 1 with a $500 penalty for each day over that date with some allowances made for unseasonal weather.
There is a need for increased holding capacity at the HCIC reservoirs. Currently Ralfston fills three to four times a year and Miller's Flat fills every other year. JUB engineer Brandon said it is approximately $868 per acre foot to raise the capacity 10 feet. HCIC owns land on the east abutment and there is sufficient material there to raise Miller's Flat berm. It was also determined the outlet pipe of the spillway was too small and when the raising of the reservoir takes place then those pipes will need to be enlarged. The reservoir will be drawn down even lower next year should the project go forward to raise the dam. It was mentioned that 400 acre feet must be left to save the fish.
HCIC and Patsy Stoddard, Emery County Progress Editor, contributed to this story.


text: The San Rafael Museum board has undertaken a project to place three lifesize dinosaurs and a mammoth outdoors at the museum in Castle Dale. They have written a grant proposal and have sent letters to businesses to gather corporate sponsors. They are looking for the support of the community in gathering the funds needed for installation of the concrete dinosaurs. Ramal Jones leads the effort and said, "The dinosaurs are done by an artist and are lifelike creatures, exceptionally well done. We would like to have a donation area at the Emery County fair where you can make contributions to the dinosaur effort. All contributors will receive their name on a recognition plaque."

"So cute. I was afraid they may look cheap, but they don't. Plenty of room to tuck jeans in (and I do not wear skinny jeans). Wish they were a bit roomier in the foot like some winter boots tend to be. And there isn't much to them as far as support or comfort. But they are awesome otherwise. I have the gray/violet."

First off, there's no need for bacon. Olive oil and lots of fresh garlic lend the kale and beans a flavor that's just as rich and interesting. Soak and cook your white beans ahead of time with some salt and bay leaves if you like, or retain the weeknight gourmet aspect of this meal by using canned beans. Lidia uses black kale, also known as Lacinato and dinosaur kale, but regular old curly kale is fine. Fiddleheads, if you can find them, would be outstanding in this rich, garlicky dish. A drizzle of really good, peppery olive oil is the perfect finishing touch.
Polenta with Kale and White Beans
(adapted from Lidia Cooks from the Heart of Italy)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
⅔ cup yellow polenta 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
8 packed cups kale, roughly chopped
½ cup low salt vegetable broth or water
2 cups cooked cannellini beans
½ teaspoon salt (reduce if broth is salty)
high quality extra-virgin olive oil (to drizzle)
In a medium saucepan, boil water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and bay leaves. Pour in polenta, whisking to ensure no lumps form. Reduce to a gentle simmer and cover. Stir frequently.
While polenta cooks, warm 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds, just enough for the garlic to become fragrant but not begin to brown. Add kale and toss with garlic (this is easiest with tongs). After 2 minutes, when kale has begun to cook down, add broth, beans, and salt. Sauté another 5-6 minutes, uncovered, until most of the liquid has boiled off.
After 20 minutes, the polenta should be thick and creamy. Remove bay leaves and scoop into shallow bowls. Top with kale and beans. Drizzle additional olive oil over kale if desired.
Serves 2.

The Discussion
I bought a Nyco after Gov talking about it - and it is working fine. It's reduced the field by about 2' (as it promises). I have noticed if you get too close (<5') that the kinect jestures do not work - it really is for a 10'-8' --> 8'-6' reduction.
(Adults and kids were playing Kinect Adventures, Fruit Ninja and Kinect Sports)
@windev: That's kind of the opposite experience I've got, it works best when very close (~3'). I'll try Gov's and see if it's just a bad unit. Thanks.
[00:12] - Responsive mouse problem.
I would look at the mouse itself. What mouse is it and if it installs extra software. And maybe this software causes it.
[09:07] - Max frequency can go over 100%, what does this mean?
correct, this is Turbo function of Intel i Core CPUs or AMD Phenom X6/FX CPUs.
[09:35] - Not all RAM is showing up.
MS limits the usable Memory in client Windows versions. Get a PAE patch ( like this one: http://wj32.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/pae-patch-updated-for-windows-7-sp1/) which implements this:
http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/windows/license/memory.htm (applies to Win7, too).
I don't know if Home has both, I never buy Retails. Here in Germany we can buy the Systembuilder versions which are cheaper and this only includes 1 DVD (32Bit or 64Bit). And now I'm switching to Linux because of this Windows 8 Metro touch UI crap which doesn't work for desktop PCs. So I'll never know if Win8 (Home) includes both.
[11:11] - How to alter all files in a directory to change time stamp.
Use this software and add the folders:
and let the software change the time values.
[14:30] - Where to download Windows 7 ISO.
google for a Digitalriver link, those are safe. For Windows 8 MS has a way to reset the PC so this is an Inplace Upgrade is no longer required. Also for Windows 8 you get a Webinstaller which gets the lastest files from MS. I hope that this allows all users to get new media with integrated service packs for Windows 8:
[17:50] - How to shut off cores in quad core.
Better use the Core Parking feature of Windows 7. You can control it with some cmd commands which are shown here:
Btw, is there a chance to get the Defrag animation (which is shown from your desk) as WMV so that I can use it on my Vista Ultimate as Dreamscene background?
Larry, when the mouse gets stuck in a bad click state try pressing ctrl-alt-del and then esc. Happens to me sometimes and this mostly fixes it.
Awesome show.Keep it up

Good for work
"I am on my feet a lot, as I work in a school system. I also travel between schools and needed something durable that wouldn't let snow/rain seep through. These shoes have been great so far, and they are also timelessly stylish as well. I am normally a size 6, 5'1" with a high arch. These shoes were a bit long for me and slightly wide, yet comfy enough and they don't slip off. Not really a big deal, since I wear dress socks and dress pants, but might look funny with skinny jeans."

Not Bad... However
"Bought these in the wide width. Light, comfy cushion inside shoe, and fit is just right. However, they are definitely not made to wear in the rain or on long walks. Best for office wear or something like it. My go-to for the office."

Bills Beat Blog

Reaction: Giants 17 - Bills 13
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 4 2014 1:28AM
The preseason is finally here and the Buffalo Bills have one game officially under their belts. While there was quite a bit of rust that needed to be kicked off, the team brought both positive and negative plays to the table for their first contest.
Who stood out for positive play and who needs a better preseason game number two on Friday? Here are some reactions from the game that was:
It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible… EJ's day just was.
- The anticipation for EJ Manuel's first game of the 2014 preseason was in full force with many hoping that he would eradicate the negative aspects of his game in one fell swoop. Those hoping for that type of day likely weren't satisfied by his 2-of-7 performance that resulted in just 19 total passing yards. Despite the statistics, there was at least a pair of good things that came from Manuel's performance. First, he was decisive on Sunday. Of the many things his coaches are trying to instill in him for the upcoming season, having that trait is distinctly among them. He also gave Mike Williams the chance to make a play on a jump ball in the end zone, another need area for him to progress. The other pockets of his game that beg for improvement are still a work in progress, however. They limited his time in the pocket during his two possessions and he got the ball out rather quickly. The problem, though, is the defense read him pretty easily on three separate occasions. The defensive line of the Giants batted down two passes and the defense very nearly intercepted one attempt when the Bills were knocking on the door deep in New York territory. So, as the title of the paragraph indicates, it wasn't his best or worst day…. it was just a day.
Woods doesn't play with the 1s
- One of the more intriguing aspects of the game was in regards to the usage of Robert Woods. Coming into training camp, the second-year wideout was thought to be one of the key contributors to the Bills on offense and the running mate to rookie Sammy Watkins. Except, that wasn't the case on Sunday night. Mike Williams got the start along with Watkins and camp standout Chris Hogan took reps in the slot, relegating Woods to duties with the second-team offense. This could just be a case of getting other players looks with different teammates, but for it to come in their first preseason game is something worth monitoring as the next few practices come and go. It even took EJ Manuel by surprise, saying as much when he was asked about it after the contest. When Woods was in the game though, he made his presence felt with a few catches and the team's lone touchdown. All eyes will be on the wide receiver rotation in the next two days of practice and the upcoming game with the Carolina Panthers.
Bradham shines versus the run
- From what it looked like in his three defensive series on the field, Nigel Bradham is doing quite well in his role as the team's starting weakside linebacker. The Giants ran the ball for most the time that Bradham was on the field, and it seemed like the third-year linebacker was always around the carrier to bring him down. The weakside linebacker is a role that is a very high profile one in Jim Schwartz's defense and the Bills have been speaking in a glowing manner about Bradham since training camp has begun. Despite the one-game suspension he's facing at the beginning of the season, Bradham looks primed to be the team's starter barring an injury or an unexpected string of poor performances.
Tuel the second-team quarterback
- The battle to be the backup to EJ Manuel is on and Jeff Tuel was the surprise second entrant into the team's game against the Giants. The second-year, former undrafted player has been splitting second-team series with Thad Lewis during training camp, and he's apparently outperformed Lewis to the point where he was the man getting the second-team reps versus New York Sunday. After a so-so performance by the first-team offense, Tuel entered the game, hit a few passes and started building some enthusiasm into their offensive output. Despite his interception, which was more of a bad luck deflection than anything, Tuel had a relatively solid day going up against the second and third-team defense of the Giants. And more importantly, he outperformed Lewis yet again due to another poorly thrown turnover by the latter. Lewis is losing this competition with each day he continues to play below Tuel's level.
Seantrel has solid debut
- It was a bit surprising when after the game head coach Doug Marrone said that rookie left tackle Seantrel Henderson had a lot of work to do as an offensive tackle in the league, because from the press box perspective it seemed as though Henderson was having a solid debut. He looked under control and thwarted the efforts of Jason Pierre-Paul on the few series that they were matched up. The Bills even gave Henderson an extended look on the field, playing him into the second half to give him some additional experience rather than having him come out with the other starting players. Despite what Marrone said, it looked like Henderson had a good debut given that he's a seventh-round pick. If there's one thing for certain, he was infinitely better than the other tackle the team drafted in 2014.
Kouandjio has anything but
- When Marrone made his comment about Henderson, he was also asked about second-round pick and rookie tackle Cyrus Kouandjio at the same time, and he felt the same way about both of those players. Kouandjio certainly deserved that criticism after an abysmal start to his professional career. The second-round pick entered the game at right tackle with the second-team offense and promptly had two plays blow up in the backfield due to his poor execution. The first, Kouandjio misidentified who he was supposed to block and ended up taking on the same defender out wide as right guard Kraig Urbik, leaving the inside wide open for the run play to be stuffed. On the next play, Kouandjio's balance wasn't there and defensive end Damontre Moore made him look absolutely inept for an easy sack of Jeff Tuel. After Kouandjio ran off the field, offensive line coach Pat Morris immediately went and spoke with his rookie tackle to try and calm him down because it was really the roughest of rough starts. On his next series, he played with a bit more poise and control, but still wasn't as effective as Henderson. Kouandjio has had a rough training camp and start to his professional career, but the Bills are in no position to give up on a player with as much talent as they saw in him at Alabama. He's just a bit more raw than they were expecting.
Bills' MVP: DT Kyle Williams
- The biggest play of the game in favor of the Bills was from the doing of one of their best players, and one of their defensive mainstays. Kyle Williams whipped around his man and got to Eli Manning for the sack and forced the fumble all in one play. The Bills were able to recover and were in fantastic position to put the ball in the end zone all because the disruptive Williams was able to have his way again, just as he has so many times in his career.
Bills' LVP: CB Michael Carter
- No one person is to blame for the preseason loss because so many players made their way on to the field on Sunday. However, one play put the Giants up on the scoreboard for good, and it was a very long play that did it. Backup quarterback Ryan Nassib saw wideout Corey Washington beat Bills cornerback Michael Carter deep down the right sideline and was able to feed it to his target for a 73-yard touchdown. Carter, who has struggled at camp with both coverage and in not being able to avoid the temptation of grabbing the jersey of receivers, didn't see the field again after that bad, bad beat.
Up Next:
The Bills travel to Carolina for their second preseason game. They'll take on the Panthers on Friday night.
Final Thoughts:
- It's still early into the process for the preseason and the Bills have more time than any team to work out all the kinks. It appeared as though their first-team defense was solid for the entirety of their time on the field, and now it's about getting EJ Manuel to the point in which they believe he's ready to win them games in bunches. He's not there yet, but the team believes he can get there. It's one very small step in the long journey that will end at the conclusion of the month of August. However, the Bills have their feet wet and now are on the same playing field as the rest of the National Football League: four more preseason tilts until the games start to mean something.

"I was kind of sad they didn't have a 9.5 which is my size. The 10 is a little big at the back, but for someone who takes a 10 would be perfect(had my sister try them on, they fit her perfectly, she takes a 10). The middle of the shoe wasn't as roomy and wide as I would have liked, but it fit and I really like these shoes overall. Would definitely recommend."

text: Cuts, weak growth hem in budget picture By The Associated Press February 7, 2013 SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Budget cuts called for by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin will shave $75 million from state spending.That's the estimate Thursday from West Virginia Budget Director Mike McKown at The Associated Press' annual Legislative Lookahead forum.McKown said the cuts helped balance the budget proposal that Tomblin will send to the Legislature next week. But McKown noted that large parts of the budget were exempt from the 7.5 percent cuts. Those areas include public education and corrections. McKown said Medicaid is driving the budget crunch. Every 1 percent drop in federal funding means the state must add $30 million to its share.Tomblin re-affirmed his opposition to new or increased taxes Thursday. Deputy Revenue Secretary Mark Muchow meanwhile warned of little or no growth from existing tax collections.

For Immediate Release Wednesday, September 13, 2000
Washington DC - The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced $1.3 million in grants to improve 3-1-1 non-emergency phone services in three communities. Orange County, Fla. will receive $500,000; Austin, Texas will receive $381,000; and Framingham, Mass. will receive $459,000 under this grant program.
"These grants are a continuation of our efforts to provide additional technology resources to local law enforcement while improving our commitment to community government," said Attorney General Janet Reno. "The 3-1-1 system creates a non-emergency alternative to 9-1-1, allowing all calls to be handled more efficiently and increasing safety in our neighborhoods."
"Across the country, communities find that 9-1-1 is overloaded and response times are slow," said COPS Director Thomas C. Frazier. "Our research shows that 3-1-1 can reduce calls by more than 30 percent, allowing faster responses to 9-1-1 calls. It also allows helps create more discretionary time for officers so that they can engage in problem-solving and community oriented policing, rather than response-driven policing."
The public safety design of 3-1-1 focuses on creating a destination for non-emergency public safety concerns. This will free up the 9-1-1 systems to handle the life-threatening emergency calls that it was original designed to handle.
Funds awarded will go to purchasing equipment, training, technical assistance, and the creation of a lessons learned document by each agency, as well as local level process and impact evaluations.
The COPS program is the Administration's initiative to add 100,000 officers to the beat and advance community policing nation-wide. Community policing is a crime fighting strategy that encourages law enforcement to work in partnership with the community to identify and reduce crime problems.
To date, the COPS program has funded more than 109,000 officers. President Clinton has proposed continuing the COPS program for an additional five years to add up to 50,000 more officers to local communities.
