Comments: I think these strings are an excellent all-around type and very comfortable to use. Despite seeing
numerous negative comments about wear, I find that I get excellent durability. String inserts can really increase this factor (Wilson
inserts are the easiest to install) these strings are also priced reasonably.
From: Tom, 1/15
Comments: I have no idea why people claim pop is some kind of string virtue. I had this string at 58 lbs on a
oversize Wilson racquet at 9.9 oz and 3 head heavy. Vibration compared to poly strings is much less which makes this string very
comfortable to hit with.I didn't feel that it imparted the same amount of spin at first as a previous poly string but it give good
depth and control with a similar swing and as the filaments began to get rough/chipped, more spin. My backhands didn't seem to
have the preciseness as with a poly but were certainly softer on the arm. I would say a drawback is that the strings will move
around quite a bit and need constant resetting. A shoulder problem prevents me from performing kick serves but the ball
launches comfortably off the racquet face with slice serves and kept low and skiddy.
From: Scott, 4/12
Comments: I absolutely loved this string other than the fact that I would
break about 2 of them a week with it as the crosses combined with
Luxilon Big Banger Rough 16 gauge. They are so easy on the arm and have
excellent feel, control, and power wasn't too bad either. The only thing
bad about this string is the durability.
From: Matthew, 10/11
Comments: This is a great string for any player. I used to hit with Babolat Pro Hurricane 16g. at 58 and my arm
consistently hurt, so I switched to this and it really helped. So I think it's a great string.
From: Colton, Little Rock, Arkansas. 1/09
Comments: Makes an exceptional hybrid with Gamma Ruff 16 or Gamma TNT2 Ruff 16. A very soft string that has
the playability of a Big Banger but much softer and easier on the arm. Has great durability for a multifilament and has great
control and power
From: Ben, New Canaan, CT, USA, 04/07
Comments: These strings have a good amount of power with some control in them. I didn't like
them so much though because they aren't that durable. They seem to peel and break easy. I like the prince
lightning 16 on the 03 white racquet. If you play a lot of tennis these strings break really easy so I don't
recommend them.
From: Natty Schneider, Bradenton, Fl. USA 4/2/06
Comments: A powerful string with average control. Loses
tension and feels fast after a few sets. Below average spin,
average durability. I'm a 4.5 player.
From: Gary, Detroit, MI, USA. 11/03
Comments: Lasted me 3 hours playing with a Hammer H6 strung at 58lbs. Not
something you should use if you hit hard with a lot of spin.
From: Darren, Singapore. 11/03
Comments: This is a soft nice feeling string with more power than some of the traditional synthetic guts (TNT, Prince Synthetic). However it loses tension very fast and lasted less than one week at 2-3 hours of play. I am a 5.0 player, all court. Gary, Detroit, MI, USA. 10/03
Comments: I thought this string played great out of the box. The ball stays on the
string longer than Gamma XP and has great spin and touch. But it seriously puttered out
after 5-7 sets and is now kind of loose and dead. Going back to XP. I'm a 4.0 player.
From: Steve, San Antonio, TX, USA. 4/03
Comments: As far as playability is concerned, Live Wire is one of the finest
strings available. Great "pop", excellent bite on the ball, and comfort are the most notable
attributes (I believe it does the first two much better than NXT). Unfortunately, it only lasts a
little over a week and a half (10-14 hours). Thus, I don't experience the dead feeling that
allegedly develops over time. If you don't hit with lots of spin and can afford to restring every
week or two (neither of which describe me), I would highly suggest this string. Strung in a
Dunlop 300G @ 75-71lbs.
From: Dean, Appleton, WI, USA. 3/03
Comments: I've been playing regularly for the last 11 years and this is the best
synthetic string I've had the pleasure to use. I have two identical racquets except for the
string. One has Wilson TourGut (natural gut, my favorite of all the natural gut strings) and the
other has Gamma Live Wire Pro 16. The two racquets hit THE SAME! Try it and you won't be
From: Dan, Maine, USA. 2/03
Comments:I feel this string is pretty lively for the first week or week and a half,
but after that, it starts feeling dull or "dead". However, this string is very durable and lasts for
a while. Personally, I feel the Wilson NXT 17 is a much better choice and for practically the
same price.
From: Andrew, Silicon Valley, CA. USA 2/03
Comments: I usually find multifilament strings too soft but the Gamma Live Wire
16 has bite, more so than the Pro version. I play top club level and have re-strung all our 1st
team's rackets with this string with only positive feedback. I did have one go very quickly but
with string savers on the vulnerable strings I am getting good use from my ProKennex 5g
strung at 56lbs.
From: Toby, England 8/02
Comments: I was excited about Gamma Live Wire 16, but was disappointed with the string. The problem I faced was the string was just too dead feeling. When I called Gamma, they said to adjust the tension up to 5 pounds lower that I used with my previous Gamma Pro Plus strings. While this adjustment improved the feel, I still did not enjoy the string as much as Gamma Pro Plus 16.
On the "plus" side, these strings are one of the more durable "premium strings" offered
by Gamma. In my opinion, they are an excellent string for a hard-hitter/string breaker who is
reluctant to go the Kevlar route.
From: John, Chicago, IL. USA 8/00
Comments:I recently just got my racquet restrung with Gamma Live Wire 16g. I
think it's great but the longevity is not that good. It lasted me about two weeks.
From: Tom, Carmel, Ca. USA 4/00
Comments:Gamma Live Wire 16g. is one of the best strings I have ever used in the 17 years I've been playing. I have tried so many different strings but not one exactly fit me. I am a player who likes delicate and creative shots. I used Gamma TNT 16 before I changed to Gamma Live Wire 16. I also used some different strings such as Prince, Wilson, Babolat, and Tecnifibre. What seperates Gamma Live Wire from other multi-filament strings is that it's more elastic and durable than others.
After I played tennis on a hard court for 12 years in the U.S., I play on clay now in Korea. I
have played at a 5.0 level in the U.S., both singles and doubles. At the age of 43, I usually
play doubles in Korea.
From: Kim, Seoul, Korea 2/00
Comments:I am a big hitter and break any string easily. Gamma Live Wire 16g.
String has great feel for a week and a half, maybe longer depending on how often you play.
From: Matt, Cincinatti, OH. USA 1/00

By PATSY RUYBALBig Water, Utah
I am not a political activist. I vote my conscience in all elections hoping that the person elected will best serve the needs of the populace of town, county, state, or country. But recently something came to my attention that I have not been able to put out of my mind and I would like to share my feelings about our federal senators and congressmen.
First of all, these people we elect to represent our interests at the ntational level do not pay into Social Security while in office. They have, however, put into effect a golden parachute for themselves and their spouses when they leave office. It does not matter how many terms they serve, they will collect their pay after they leave office until they die. This amount may be increased from time to time for cost of living adjustments. This retirement plan is paid for out of the general fund and adds an enormous dollar amount to the annual budget of our country.
If one person draws $1,000 monthly in Social Security annuity it would take approximately 68 years to equal what one senator could conceivably draw in one month after leaving office.
I believe the solution to the Social Security dilemma is for the US Senate and US House of Representatives to put their retirement into the Social Security system. If this were to happen not only would they correct the problems in the Social Security system but also they would be more likely to fairly represent the people who put them in office.
People should contact their senators and congressmen and let them know how they feel about this issue and request a reply indicating the official position from each elected representative. Then when election time comes vote those persons out of office who are not willing to equitably represent their constituency. After all these are people who are elected to represent the best interest of the masses, the common people, you and I.

Recap: The Vancouver Canucks 2013-2014 season
Cam Charron
September 19 2013 09:44AM
The most optimistic part of my evening was when I thought the blackout was going to get me out of writing recap duty, but I suppose we can get most of that out of the way after the first period.
The Vancouver Canucks are losing 3-0 to the *sees alert from The Score's App* down 4-0 to the Edmonton Oilers with Roberto Luongo in goal. Luongo has apparently looked bleak, letting in three softies, but the Canucks themselves have not been taking shots on net.
Read on past the jump for an abbreviated version of a game recap (and a chance to vent in the comments section, if that's your cup of tea).
It's a horror show, evidently. It's also 12 minutes of a preseason contest. These games never used to be televised, but it seems people can't get enough of them. I'm sure Luongo will have to answer a lot of questions about this performance, and a lot of people will question whether he's mentally in it, because it's preseason and finding storylines are hard.
Since neither myself nor Dimitri were really watching the catastrophic meltdown early on, we figured this post would serve not only as our post-game thread, but also the recap on the entire 2013-2014 season. Season's over, guys. Go Hawks.
EDITOR'S NOTE: It turns out that after Cam snarkily posted this, nothing all that interesting happened. In fact, the game ended with a 4-1 score, meaning that all the action came in the first 13 minutes or so.
Blueliners Patrick Mullen and John Negrin left the game with injury, prompting the Canucks to use Mike Santorelli as a defenseman. Also, Jason Garrison logged in excess of 33 minutes of ice-time in this one, attempting 11 shots on net. Even if it's just the preseason, seeing him on the top power play unit was a sight for sore eyes. He's such a weapon; no, literally, he hurts people. Just ask Devan Dubnyk and Boyd Gordon.
From what I saw, Zack Kassian looked really good out there, especially on the power play. His passing is seriously underrated. And oh yeah, Brendan Gaunce scored again. "All I do is score score score no matter whaaat"..
Remember when Luongo's slow starts were charming?
It's preseason. Whatever.
Is this your submission for the worst hockey blog of the season? If so, you're my early front runner. If not, well, why even bother?
September 18 2013, 08:57PM
Are some people who Charron is following panicking already, hence this dumb article?
Go Hawks Go!
September 18 2013, 09:06PM
11-28 by Christmas. Mark it.
September 19 2013, 10:15AM
Is this your submission for the most ignorant comment of the season?
September 19 2013, 09:59PM
@Clearly a Seahawks reference bud...
Thats just his preseason comment. He's a slow starter.
What was I suppose to learn here?
I suppose no one is going to give him a break for not having watched much of the game due to an apparent blackout
Go Hawks Go!

You forgot the period at the end of your ass kissing Professor English. All sentences end in punctuation, let's not forget the fundamentals. (Inside joke, Right Lemmy.)

Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
What's with the release date of this? monthly I'm assuming is it just behind on raws though?
Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
Morten is hilarious as ever. "We need 90$ for the next volume of Tokyo ESP," he says. Let's take a look-see. Volume 5 is ¥588. Throw in another ¥1200 for shipping via EMS. That's ¥1788, which is US$22, give or take.
If you don't want to spend your own money on the hobby, then don't. Nobody's gonna blame you for it. But groveling for donations? Get out.
That said, don't let me stop anyone gullible enough from donating.but the volume 5 is already in RAW download pages like this --> http://raw1st.com/tokyo-esp/
i don't know why he needs to buy the volume
Yep, it's the end of part 1, but don't worry there are already raws up to about 34? chapters. Unfortunately the group, or perhaps rather the person that was scanlating this, will not continue beyond the chapter 27. Let's hope that someone will pick this up. I heard that part 2 starts with new faces, so better be prepared for some cameo's like Yoda or Leonidas before .
BTW, the side story to Ga-rei has been fully translated, you can get it here: Ga-rei ~Tsuina no Shou, what's more an epilogue to the original story appeared that I haven't even notice lol and it was a few years ago...
This is likely the last chapter for awhile, since there is no scanlator group taking care of it for the time being (though the jap RAWs are around chapter 34 from what I heard).
I wonder when Rinka and Koutarou are going to return, perhaps they are now commanding the ESP POLICE DEPARTMENT or something ?
So there are 2 kinds of black sharks, a normal one that eats and the other one, a saw-fish that cuts fish out, releasing them into the air.

The "Stars and Stripes", the official National symbol of the United States of America was authorized by congress on that Saturday of June 14, 1777 in the fifth item of the days agenda. The entry in the journal of the Continental Congress 1774-1789 Vol. Vlll 1777 reads "Resolved that the flag of the thirteen United States be Thirteen stripes alternate red and white: that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."
In Waubeka, Wisconsin, in 1885 Bernard John Cigrand a nineteen year old school teacher in a one room school placed a 10" 38 star flag in an inkwell and had his students write essays on what the flag meant to them. He called June 14th the flag's birthday. Stony Hill School is now a historical site. From that day on Bernard J. Cigrand dedicated himself to inspire not only his students but also all Americans in the real meaning and majesty of our flag.

On June 26, Damian Olsen of Helper and his friend Mike Payne of Provo found the leak in the Gigliotti Pond, which has been draining it. The source of the leak was a muskrat burrow, found between the spillway and corner of the dam. Aquatics Manager Louis Berg plans to allow the pond to draw down beneath the burrow, which will then be repaired. In a few weeks, Berg hopes to refill the pond and put it back into operation as a popular fishing destination for Carbon County residents.
The daily bag and possession limit for trout has been doubled to eight for Cleveland and Miller Flat reservoirs on the Manti; Gigliotti Pond in Helper; Ken's Lake in Grand County; and Lloyd's Lake, Monticello Lake and Recapture Reservoir in San Juan County. Especially at these waters, the DWR encourages anglers to harvest the trout they catch so that these fish are not wasted.
Abajo Mountains.Foy Reservoir continues to provide good fishing with bait and lures. Fishing remains fair at Monticello Reservoir, where the limit has been raised to eight fish, due to drought. Bait fishing continues to be good at Blanding #3. At Recapture Reservoir, rainbow trout fishing has been fair for boat anglers trolling with spinners. Northern pike fishing has been good for anglers trolling with crankbaits. The daily bag and possession limit for all game fish has been doubled at Lloyds Lake until November 1, due to low water conditions and expected loss of fish.
Benches Pond. Conservation Officer Stacey Taggart reports fair fishing with PowerBait, worms and marshmallows. The pond will be repeatedly stocked throughout the summer.
Boulger Pond. Fair fishing has again been reported for anglers using PowerBait, worms and marshmallows.
Cleveland Reservoir.This reservoir has been stocked with its total annual allotment of 4,000 rainbow trout. The daily bag and possession limits have been raised to eight fish. Anglers are encouraged to harvest the fish before the reservoir drains, which is expected by mid-August. Conservation Officer Kip Draper describes fishing as good with PowerBait or worms.
Colorado River. Conservation Officer Edward Meyers reports good fishing for catfish up to 3 lbs. Preferred baits include shrimp, worms and liver.
Duck Fork Reservoir. Conservation Officer Kip Draper urges fishermen not to believe a rumor being circulated about the limit being doubled and bait restriction removed. The rumor is false! Fish may only be caught with artificial flies and lures. The trout limit remains at two. All tributaries are closed to fishing until July 13.
Electric Lake. Right at dusk, fly fishermen have been doing well with dry fly patterns. The water level is so low that boats cannot be launched. Tributaries are closed until July 13. A tributary is any moving water, which empties into a reservoir, even if that water is running within the lakebed.
Ferron Reservoir. Sergeant Carl Gramlich reports good fishing with PowerBait and dry flies in the evening. Anglers are encouraged to harvest the illegally introduced brook trout, which may eventually overpopulate the lake, resulting in small fish in poor condition. Please remember that all tributaries are closed until the second weekend in July.
Gigliotti Pond. On June 26, Damian Olsen of Helper and his friend, Mike Payne of Provo, found the leak in the Gigliotti Pond. Between the corner of the dam and the spillway, they found a muskrat burrow, into which water was leaking. Aquatics Manager, Louis Berg plans to allow the water level to drop beneath the burrow and then fix it. Within the next few weeks, Berg hopes to refill the pond. The pond was stocked last week with 1,300 trout. The water level has dropped to the point where trout are concentrated. These trout may die, so anglers are encouraged to keep the fish they catch. On June 19, the daily bag and possession limit for trout was doubled from four to eight fish. Bass and bluegill must still be released
Gooseberry Reservoir. Fishing continues to be fair with PowerBait, worms and marshmallows.
Grassy Lake. Fishing success has been spotty. PowerBait is recommended.
Huntington Creek. Fishing continues to be good in the fly-only zone, where the limit is two trout. The forks of the Huntington were stocked on 6/19 with 9-10 inch rainbow trout. Harvest of brown trout on the left fork is encouraged, where the limit is four fish, which must be taken with artificial flies or lures.
Huntington Game Farm Pond.Bass and bluegill may still be caught. The bluegill limit is 10. The bass limit is four, but only one bass larger than 15 inches. Limits are the same for all licensed anglers and unlicensed anglers under 14 years of age.
Huntington North Reservoir. On June 20, a 6 � pound rainbow trout was reportedly caught by an angler trolling with a silver and red U-String.Jigs have been working well for largemouth bass, where the limit is two. All bass over 12 inches must be immediately released.
Huntington Reservoir. Fishing success has been slow for 12-14 inch tiger trout. Release of tiger trout is encouraged so that fish can grow larger. Any brown trout caught should be harvested. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout and trout with cutthroat markings.
Joe's Valley Reservoir.There has been little fishing pressure. PowerBait is recommended for rainbow trout. Anglers are encouraged to release all larger splake for control of the abundant Utah chub population. The splake limit is two fish. All splake between 15-20 inches must be immediately released.
Lasal Mountains.Conservation Officer Edward Meyers reports good fishing at Ken's Lake in the early morning with worms and spinners. The daily bag and possession limit for Kens Lake has been doubled for all game fish until November 1 due to low water conditions and expected loss of fish. On June 1, a 25 lb. catfish was taken from Kens Lake. Plastic jigs have been effective for small bass. Good fishing continues at Dark Canyon for anglers using PowerBait. Fishermen, trolling from a canoe, have done well with yellow or orange spinners. Hidden Lake remains the best fishing spot on the mountain according to Meyers. He said that anglers using salmon eggs, PowerBait and worms have enjoyed fast fishing action. Dons Lake has been fair to good for tiger trout and splake. Meyers recommends flies or an orange flat fish lure. Medicine Lake has been stocked and has been good with baits and lures. Blue Lake has been very good for rainbows and brook trout with yellow Rooster tail spinners. Fish are rising at all lakes, says Sergeant Carl Gramlich. Fly fishermen should do well in the late evening.
Lower Fish Creek. The road to the DWR property is open. Fly fishermen have been doing well.
Miller Flat Reservoir. The reservoir has been stocked with its total annual allotment of 3,000 rainbow trout. The daily bag and possession limits have been raised to eight trout to help anglers harvest the trout before the reservoir drains.
Millsite Reservoir. Fishing success has been fair with a worm and marshmallow.
Petes Hole. Petes Hole has been fair to good with blue sparkle PowerBait. Trout are rising in the evening, providing good fishing for fly anglers.
Potter's Pond.Fishing success has been fair to good with baits.
Scofield Reservoir. Conservation Officer Stacey Taggart reports good fishing at Scofield Reservoir. The catch is much better for anglers in boats than those on shore. Fishing success has been good for those using a fly and bubble, PowerBait, worms and marshmallows or spinners. Please remember that all tributaries remain closed until July 13. A tributary is considered to be any moving water, which empties into the body of the reservoir, even if the channel of water lies within the reservoir's basin. Keep in mind that much of the land around the reservoir is private. Keep vehicles off the shoreline.
Lake Powell. The Lake Powell fishing report home page is: http://www.wayneswords.com.DWR Biologist and Project Leader, Wayne Gustaveson, updates fishing conditions at this website weekly. He provides detailed information on locations, tackle and techniques for each species in the lake. In 2002, an unlimited number of striped bass may be kept. The smallmouth bass limit is 20, and the largemouth bass limit is five.
Willow Reservoir.The fish are rising in the evening. Fly fishermen are having the best luck.
Wrigley Springs Reservoir. Jake's Spin-a-Lures remain the best spinner. Traditional baits as well as fly and bubble have also been used successfully.

Healthy Schools Now is a coalition of public school advocates dedicated to ensuring that all New Jersey children and school employees learn and work in safe, modern school buildings. Every school building must be structurally sound, environmentally clean and conducive to effective teaching and learning. Where those conditions don't exist, problems must be corrected immediately. Learn more
Representatives from Trenton, Paterson, Camden, and many other communities across the state shared stories of unsafe, unhealthy conditions in their local schools and urged the SDA to increase the pace of construction and repairs.
NJEA Secretary-Treasurer Marie Blistan reminded SDA board members of their responsibility to New Jersey's children. "The people of New Jersey – through their elected leaders -- set aside $3.9 billion in 2008 – on top of billions set aside earlier -- to make sure that problems like the ones identified here today get fixed," she told them. "We created that fund so that our children would have the schools they deserve."
Speaker after speaker decried the board's failure to quickly approve and begin projects, particularly in poor communities. Several spoke to waiting years for action, and of their frustration with the Christie administration for essentially stopping the work of the Authority in 2010.
"We need to have projects approved, funded and started immediately. Our children deserve that," she added.
Several speakers urged the Board to hold future meetings in some of the schools in greatest need to repair or replacement. The board was noncommittal, only assuring the speakers that it was committed to addressing the problems, but offering no timelines or other assurances that the needs of children will be met more quickly and efficiently in the future.

|In response to Re: Lowering a tub. Need advice.
: Most, if not all of those tubs are supported by their rims, but they have a 2x4 frame underneath it it to support the weight. Here is how a plumber would usually do it. Remove the tub entirely from its existing framework and move it out of the way. Then build a new framework using 2x4's, not 1x2's, at the new height with adequate support around the opening where the tub will fit, and not necessaryily aat the point where the feet would be on the ground. FInish the top surface, put the tub into the opening. Make the necessary water and drain connections and test the plumbing. Then close the front of the decking. You might still want to have at least one step to facilitate entering and leaving the tub, rather than having to step over a high wall.
: : We have a monster castiron Kohler tub in the master bath that's currently set on a raised and tiled platform. You get into the tub by climbing two steps. We are in the process of lowering it about five inches, building a new frame, and setting granite around it. When tearing up the steps we found that the tub is currently supported solely by the plywood deck at its edges. (Hard to believe when the total weight of the thing when filled with water and a two-hundred pound man could be 800+ pounds.)The tub has feet but they are currently suspended above the concrete floor.
: : 1. Chalkmark the tub foot positions on the floor.
: : 2. Slide the tub out. (I've put lumber under it so it doesn't fall when I tear away the existing plywood deck and frame. I'm guessing I can horse it one end at a time away from the back wall so I can get to the back wall. I should be able to move it about 18" out.
: : 3. Cut away all the dry wall up to where the new backsplash will go and replace it.
: : 4. Cutnail pressure treated lumber to the chalk marks on the floor to reset the tub on. (On its feet, no real weight to go to the new deck.)
: : 5. Nail 1x2 horizontally on the three walls around the tub to support the new plywood decking.
: : Now, here's the part I'm not clear on.
: : The new deck needs to be 1" lower than the underside of the tub top edges to clear the granite to finish the deck. I somehow need to
: : a. set the tub on the lumber I nailed to the floor and THEN ALIGN AND LEVEL IT. This thing is heavy and big. Can I use shims? Any advice on handling or leveling?
: : b. install the frame exactly one inch below the tub flanges (edges, whatever) and there's not much room in back once the tub is reset. Suggestions?
: : c. get the plumber in for hookup before completing the frame and deck.
: : Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Vanguard Group founder Jack Bogle gave a point of view on the recent burst of market volatility to Fox Business Network yesterday: Do nothing.
From Fox:
"The rule Wall Street operates on is whenever there's a big event they say,'Whatever you're doing, stop.' The expression is 'don't just stand there, do something' and the best rule I think is 'don't do something, just stand there.' The markets are very volatile, we have seen a lot of strange things going on that are really not that surprising. For example, commodities were brought into a lot of investors' portfolios because they were a diversifier…And then gold the same thing and then now we're having a little trouble with the emerging markets, same thing. These things go in waves and I honestly believe the best thing to do is kinda close your eyes and ignore them."
Here's what Bogle had to say when asked what mistakes Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke may have made:
"I'm not sure he's made a mistake to be quite honest with you. What is the problem that Ben Bernanke is trying to deal with? He is trying to solve a severe economic and unemployment problem with only one of the two weapons we have in our command. He can do something about monetary policy but he can do nothing about fiscal policy and the conventional wisdom is that these two must work together so how about that fiscal policy over there on Capitol Hill? They seem stale-mated, narrow-minded. Both sides seem to be capable of putting their own political interests ahead of the nation's interests and Ben Bernanke has to deal with that and accept that as a fact and I think we all do for the moment and we always hope wisdom will come. He's doing what he can with one hand tied behind our nation's back."

When watching the Presidential debate last Friday the roles the participants played became obvious to me. Senator Obama was the student returning home from his first year of college and explaining to his father, whom he is now smarter than, why he should control the family home for the summer, plus he should be allowed to take the family car back to college with him in the fall. Senator McCain, who loves his son and understands the arrogance, knows he is far from earning such responsibility and patiently refuses permission while explaining the reasons for his decision. It was an old story, old dependable dog versus young impetuous pup.
I kept thinking of Senator McCain, who as a young Naval Officer was a prisoner of war for five years in the worst of conditions. Even though Senator Obama came across as likable, he has lived his adult life surrounded by people who hate and mistrust our country. Senator McCain, who has literally been through hell for his country, will always love America, and seek to improve it, while Senator Obama, who has reaped many rewards from our country, wants to transform it.
I don't think these debates ever change anyone's mind or help the so called great undecided voters determine which candidate will receive their long awaited nod. People watching these things have pretty much made up their minds about whom they are going to support. They watch for the same reasons many go to the races, to see the crashes.
In last Friday's race (debate) I didn't see any spectacular crashes. But it did reaffirm my hope that the old tested racecar will beat the new flashy racecar across the finish line.

Skip to comments.RNC memo claims 2012 ground game has already surpassed 2008
Posted on 09/24/2012 7:58:10 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Republican National Committee Political Director Rick Wiley sent out a Ground Game Update memo to Interested Parties today, claiming the RNCs 2012 voter contact efforts have already surpassed 2008 totals.
Overall, we have made more than 26 million voter contacts, thanks to the efforts of our 73,000 volunteers. This week, we expect to make our 30 millionth voter contact. By mid-September, we had already surpassed the 2008 operation in total volunteer voter contacts, Wiley writes. You can read the full memo below:
FROM: RNC Political Director Rick Wiley
TO: Interested Parties
RE: Ground Game Update
As we head into the final six weeks of this historic election, I wanted to lay out the numbers the RNC and Romney campaign ground game has posted in battleground states. Our operation is conducting the hard work, which will make the difference on Election Day and elect Mitt Romney as the 45th President of the United States.
So what is it were doing?
Up to this point, our operation has focused primarily on the first GOTV stage: Voter Identification. In that process, weve identified more than 2.2 million swing voters since the start of the Victory voter contact program.
Swing voters are those we know are likely to vote based on their turnout records in previous elections. But they have not made up their minds on how to vote in this race, and they remain highly persuadable.
We continue to identify more swing voters, but now we are also able to do something of great significance: go back and deliver an advocacy message to those we have already located, tailored for specific issues and demographics. This is a process that continues through Election Day.
Voter identification also includes robust outreach programs in Hispanic communities across the battleground states. The Juntos con Romney coalition has spent months directly connecting with the Latino community through local events, neighborhood offices, and bilingual voter contacts.
We have also moved into the second stage of our operation: Absentee Balloting. And with more states beginning early voting, we are ramping up the third stage, Early Voting Turnout, sooner than in years past.
More Americans are expected to cast their votes early this year than in any previous election. Our ground game has been designed with this new reality in mind.
The fourth and final stage of our operation is of course Election Day Turnout. We have seen unprecedented volunteer enthusiasm and participation so far; and we expect to leverage significant momentum in those critical final days.
By any and every measure, this years ground game is significantly moving the needle on the ground.
Overall, we have made more than 26 million voter contacts, thanks to the efforts of our 73,000 volunteers. This week, we expect to make our 30 millionth voter contact. By mid-September, we had already surpassed the 2008 operation in total volunteer voter contacts.
Weve knocked on nearly 2 million more doors than in all of 2008, and weve made six times more phone calls than at this point four years ago. (See below for a state-by-state breakdown of the numbers.)
In addition to our volunteer voter contact program, direct voter contact through an aggressive absentee ballot, persuasion, early vote and GOTV mail and phone program in our battleground states will ensure targeted voters are contacted dozens of times through our paid effort. This coupled with our unprecedented volunteer voter contact effort adds up to the largest, most sophisticated turnout program ever put on the field in Republican politics.
As the party challenging an incumbent president, we had to build the national operation largely from scratch to remain competitive with a president who has effectively been running for reelection for the last four years. We have succeeded in that challenge, which is a testament to the enthusiasm on our side.
A successful ground game requires many components. Careful long-term planning must precede methodical execution. Successful fundraising is necessary to build the Victory infrastructure, and as the latest numbers show, the RNC has been shattering fundraising records. But the final component is volunteers. They man the phones, knock on the doors, place the signs and recruit their friends and neighbors.
Our volunteers arent in it for themselves, or even for our party. They come to the Victory Offices and give up their Saturdays for one reason: they know we need a new direction in this country for the sake of the next generation. They know we need the leadership of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
That, more than anything, will power this ground game to Victory on November 6th.
State-by-State Battleground Comparison to 08
Florida: 10 times more phone calls and 67 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
North Carolina: 13 times more phone calls and 130 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
Ohio: 4 times more phone calls and 30 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
Virginia: 11 times more phone calls and 12 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
Colorado: 3 times more phone calls and 5 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
Iowa: 5 times more phone calls and 16 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
New Hampshire: 3 times more phone calls and 8 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
Nevada: 4 times more phone calls and 10 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
Michigan: 4 times more phone calls and 18 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
New Mexico: 3 times more phone calls than this time in 08.
Pennsylvania: 6 times more phone calls and 44 times more door knocks than this time in 08.
Wisconsin: 5 times more phone calls and 66 times more door knocks than this time in 08
We got slaughtered in 2008.
Have you forgotten the most recent elections?
And what does that mean in relation to this article?
The article didn't mention 2010, it only referenced the last presidential election in 2008, and we got wiped out that year.
So, the point, if I just have to spell it out, is, "why is it so thrilling that our ground game is better than it was last time we lost"?
Not to mention this is September - so if our ground game has already exceeded what it was by November of 2008, that is a significant increase in effort. Not sure what the point is of coming in with the comment "we got slaughtered in 2008" - makes no sense.
Being adequately funded with competent leadership also makes a difference. The ground game was severely hampered in 2010 - fortunately more of our voters were self motivated to make for it...imagine the seats that could have been won had the ground effort also been in full force.
Don't know whether it is or not but we need to throw the kitchen sink.
ROmney is an excellent manager of large scale operations. If he beats the prince it will be with his ground game and I believe Romney is equipped to do just that.
In 2008 Rasmussen had the partisan split as D+5.7.
Obama won 7 points.
This month Rasmussen has the partisan split as R+4.6 (highest ever recorded) - a 10+ turnaround.
Do the math.
Maybe that is why he chose to allow most of the campaign money to be housed with the RNC...hate or love what they have done in the past, they are the chief funders and organizers of the GOTV effort.
McCain took the public matching, so he COULDN'T afford that kind of ground game.
2008 was such an unusual election that Jesus, Himself, could have run and still lost big.
I think most Republicans are very much determined to make up for what happened. They will not get fooled again.
I trust Romney as to his organizational skills and his management skills.
I think if he loses the election, it won't be because he didn't have a good organization or didn't manage it well.
???? 2008? Kidding?
It probably isn't much of a claim to surpass the voter contact in 2008, but regardless, I get the sense that the RR campaign is much more focussed, coherent, and professional.
Romney kicked the ass of every other contender, and did it without taking OPEC money — more than one can say for Obama, plus an alleged Republican one could mention.
Thanks SeekAndFind.
This can't be true. The media says Romney is a horrible candidate, Bill Kristol says Romney is stupid and arrogant, Joe Scarborough can't find one thing positive about Romney's campaign, David Brooks can't see a crease in Romney's slacks, Peggy Noonan thinks Romney talks when he should shut up, and the list goes on and on and on.....
Question: Is this just the RNC/GOP or are they also counting the efforts of Freedom Works, American Majority, AFP and countless Tea Parties?
If it's just the RNC/GOP, and if you add the above-mentioned entities (also individual/small groups), it could even be higher.
Like a football team, having a good "ground game" is fundamental (not mention opening up the passing routes)!
THREE YARDS AND A CLOUD OF DIRT....SMASH-MOUTH FOOTBALL AT IT'S FINEST!!! Come fourth quarter, you tired out the opposing side!!!!
No doubt the ground game is way better this year in CO than at any time since I have been involved in GOTV. That goes back to 2002.
If you include the Recall election in Wisconsin, we are at 15x more calls and 10x more doors than 2008.
I've come to think of McCain as a not-very-intelligent person who has very strong convictions. It's not that he's ignorant - it's that he's incapable of learning. That lack of ground game gave us big Democratic majorities in Congress and Obamacare.
Well,it's not 2008.
Hey, they have cocktail parties to be invited to! Don't you care about their social lives inside the beltway? What do you want, for them to stay home alone? There's nothing more important than being considered cool by the In People. Not even the state of the country is more important!
So, the point, if I just have to spell it out, is, why is it so thrilling that our ground game is better than it was last time we lost?
Nobody said it was thrilling, but it's good. Mormons are the masters at door knocking, chill out.
They got this. Stop being a media victim.
These data are fascinating. Although on the table you presented the Democrat advantage in November, 2008 was 7.6 and evidently on its way to 8.8 in December, nhwingut has the 2008 figure at 5.7 but perhaps he has a different source, although Rasmussen must be consistent one would think.
It is clear that the trend in party affiliation as polled by Rasmussen is unquestionably on the up swell for Republicans. The last headline from Rasmussen that I saw said that the Republicans were edging the Democrats in voter preference for Congress by one percentage point which seems to somehow confirm the trend.
Do we know what percentage Rasmussen is polling Republicans as distinguished from Democrats and independents? I thought I had heard that he was favoring Democrats by 2%? By his own numbers he should be favoring Republicans as at August (the last month on the chart) by 4.3% and, according to nhwingut 4.6% this month (October?).
I wish I knew how Rasmussen was adjusting his polling among Republicans, Democrats and independents? Failing that, we can take 4.6% away from most of the push-poll polling results to get close to a more accurate figure. My fear is that Rasmussen is already taking 4.6% away from Democrats and still coming up a point or two short for Romney.
The problem for me is that Rasmussen who is certainly aware of the 4.5% bulge for Republicans still does not record Romney ahead nor does he have Romney performing well in the electoral college which this bulge would almost certainly produce.
Notwithstanding this confusion, we can also be reassured that this trend is supported by the trends showing decreasing Democrat registration and increasing Republican registration in all of the swing states that register by party affiliation. Although the absolute numbers, except in Colorado, count against the Republicans the trend is toward Republicans which is indicative of intensity as well as party affiliation.
There was zero ground game in 2008. Or 2004. So by definition having any ground game this year greatly exceeds what happened in those years.
Credit where credit is due: willard does have a ground game. And it's reasonably well organized and efficient.
But there is no lack of organization or effort here.
so what happened in 08? We hit our turnout numbers and 20% voted for Obama. Don't think that will happen this time around.
"go back and deliver an advocacy message to those we have already located, tailored for specific issues and demographics. This is a process that continues through Election Day."
This targeting/niche campaigning is one thing that did Obama much good in 2008.
Nice to see the GOP/Romney campaign picking up on what worked for him and also doing their own thing as well. Nice memo.
Is the tea party still a big factor in this election? I haven't really heard much about them. (referencing Kolath's post about their ground game.
I pretty much expected the tea party has vanished as a major force, at least compared to 2010. But, I would hope that's not true.
yes....no longer having rallies but now hitting the streets and the phone banks (GOTV).
Not just them but AFP, FW and AM.
I believe new numbers will be out at the end of the month for partisan ID. Hopefully will trend more GOP or stay even. If trend more Dem, will be a bit concerned but we'll see. Other data out looks very good.
I have lived in Northern Virginia (the battleground part of this battleground state, due largely to immigration) for about fifteen years. This year was the first time a Republican has ever come by to knock on my door, Democrats are here every cycle.
I went to a Romney rally in Fairfax a couple of weeks ago, and stood in line for a half hour to get in. Other folks were saying that it was an unusually big turnout for the area.
I have volunteered as a poll watcher. At a recent training, I heard that the Republicans are exceeding their recruiting goals.
Game on you commie @$#*@&^#^$&*@*ers!(Continued on back)
Obama Must BE Defeated!
1) according to the chart kindly cited by Stonewall Jackson, Rasmussen is talking about, "Summary of Party Affiliation" and this chart tells us that as at the last month, August, Rasmussen has party affiliation for Republicans as at August 31, 2012 at 4.3%.
Interestingly, Rasmussen has party affiliation as at August 2010 at 1.2% and as at November, 2010, at 1.3%.
[Obviously if party affiliation is now running at three times the advantage we had in 2010, we would expect to perform even better than in 2010, all things being equal. But of course, all things are never equal for example this is a presidential election year and that was a midterm cycle. Nevertheless, are we not entitled to say that turnout for Republicans will be robust because if people are polling as "affiliated" with Republicans they are more likely to come out and vote for Republicans?]
If we attempt to compare election cycle apples to election cycle apples we see that in August 2008 Rasmussen has party affiliation polling at 5.7% for Republicans and 7.6% in November on its way to 8.8% in December.
[So we do have a flip of over 10% in Republicans favor since 2008; Are we not entitled to simply strip away from any polls those points which do not reflect Republicans up 7.6%?]
2) Dick Morris in a column which appeared on these threads yesterday said that Rasmussen was the most accurate because he takes a rolling average of party affiliation in weighting Republicans vs. Democrats vs. independents among those whom he questions. Frustratingly, Morris does not tell us what these data are or have been. Nor does he explicitly state that Rasmussen is actually polling according to these numbers. Implicitly, Morris seems to except Rasmussen's numbers which show Romney either tied or slightly behind in the critical swing states.
3) I am not sure when we attempt to adjust these polls from various polling organizations if we are mixing party "affiliation" with party "identification" (whatever that difference might be) and party "registration" (which presumably means actual official data concerning people who have publicly identified themselves for the government).
4) finally we have Rasmussen providing polling data on congressional preference which the last I saw showed Republicans up 1% but they had recently lost a rather favorable lead.
The upshot of all of this is that very difficult to know what we are dealing with.

Only eight people spoke during the planning board's July 8 public hearing on the Littleton Village proposal for the old Marathon site, and the general tone was supportive.
"I'm looking forward to having coffee at one of the restaurants, looking at the sunset going down over Mount Evans," said Paul Raab, who lives just a few blocks from the site, which lies on the east side of Broadway at Dry Creek Road. The city will benefit from the additional revenue, jobs and services, he said.
In addition to the sales and property taxes the site will generate, Littleton City Council is expected to vote on implementing impact fees during its Aug. 16 meeting, said senior planner Jan Dickinson. Those are fees developers pay to offset any negative effects a project might have on the community at large, such as on infrastructure or public services. Watt Investment Partners, Littleton Village's developer, will also make improvements to Broadway and Dry Creek Road as part of the project.
The board voted unanimously to send a favorable recommendation on to city council, which is expected to hold a public hearing and final vote at the end of August. It approved the current zoning and site plan in 2006, and the only significant change that Watt Investment Partners wants to make is to turn a diagonal street into a straight one to create a more traditional shopping experience.
"Our main objective was to improve on the existing plan and make it more economically viable," said Jennifer McElyea, managing director. To that end, they squared off the site plan, moved the smaller retail shops closer to Broadway and improved access.
Plans for the 77-acre project include 250,000 square feet of commercial property and up to 500 apartments and 400 single-family homes, including a mix of townhouses, patio homes, cluster homes, detached homes and whatever else the builders deem marketable. The zoning allows up to 900 residential units total, but the developers don't expect to have that many.
The proposed commercial portion is oriented toward Broadway, with boutique shops in front, medium-size boxes — like Kohl's or a grocery store — behind. In the middle are a 3.5-acre park and two high-end apartment buildings, limited to no more than four stories. Single-family homes will fill the east side, backing up to the existing residential neighborhood.
Several of the board members said they hope the development will connect to the broader community, especially since the park will sit at what's nearly the highest point in the city. They also suggested incorporating the site's history somehow, in deference to the many current residents who worked at Marathon Oil over the years.
Marathon moved out of the complex in 2000, and Denver oil tycoon David B. Richardson bought the land for $14.5 million in December of that year. After battling away a Lowe's Home Improvement store in 2004, neighbors initially expressed cautious optimism about the mixed-use, "new urbanism" project he proposed, similar to East 29th Avenue in Stapleton. It became more and more controversial as it worked its way through the public process, however, with residents concerned about things like density, traffic and infrastructure.
But the economy tanked before construction began, and the land has been dormant ever since.
Planner Mark Rudnicki was on the board during the first two go-rounds.
"I'm getting tired," he joked. "If we approve this, please build the thing."
He urged the Watt representatives to include housing that would appeal to empty nesters and utilize architecture that reflects the rest of Littleton.

The family would also like to thank the staff at St. Joseph Villa for their loving care of Joyce.

Great cushioning yet they don't force you to heel-strike so no problem for mid-foot strikers. Amazing shoe for long runs and I feel that the midsole gets more responsive as you pick up the pace. look great on feet as well. Thank you Nike and Running Warehouse for the excellent services.

How-To Geek
Aero Isn't Gone in Windows 8: 6 Aero Features You Can Still Use
Many people think Aero is completely gone in Windows 8, but this isn't true. Microsoft hasn't helped matters by saying they've "moved beyond Aero" in several blog posts. However, hardware acceleration and most Aero features are still present.
Aero is more than Glass. What's actually gone is the Aero branding and the Aero Glass theme with transparent, blurred window borders. The Flip 3D feature, which wasn't used by many Windows users, has also been removed.
Hardware Acceleration
Windows 8's desktop is still hardware-accelerated. Your computer's graphics hardware (known as the GPU) is used to accelerate the rendering of windows and other interface elements. This speeds up window rendering, taking some of the load off your CPU, and allows for shinier graphical effects.
Microsoft has removed the Aero Glass transparent window borders and replaced them with solid-color window borders, but this isn't a return to Windows XP's non-composited desktop. In fact, the desktop taskbar is still transparent.
Window Animations
Aero's window animations are also still present. The animations that appear when you open, close, minimize, or restore a window function just as they did on Windows 7.
Aero Peek
The Aero Peek feature, which hides windows from view, is also still present. To use Aero Peek, hover your mouse cursor over a taskbar thumbnail or press Alt-Tab and tab to a window. The window you're hovering over will be displayed and all other windows will be made transparent. The borders around the windows look a bit less glass-like, but this feature functions the same.
You can also hover your cursor over the Show Desktop button on the bottom right corner of your taskbar to preview the desktop itself. If this doesn't work, right-click your taskbar and select Properties. Check the Use Peek to preview the desktop checkbox. (Note that it's now referred to as Peek – not Aero Peek, as it's called on Windows 7.)
Aero Snap
Aero Snap works just as it did on Windows 7. Drag and drop a window's border to the left or right side of your screen and release it to quickly resize the window and have it take up half of your screen. You can also use the Windows Key+Left Arrow or Windows Key+Right Arrow keyboard shortcut to quickly make a window take up the left or right halves of your screen.
Live Taskbar Thumbnails
Aero's live taskbar previews are also still present. When you hover over a taskbar icon, you'll see thumbnails of all its open windows. These aren't just static previews – they're updated along with the window itself. If you're playing a video, you'll see the video playing in the preview thumbnail. if you're playing a game, you can watch the game continue to run in the preview.
Aero Shake
The less-commonly-used Aero Shake feature is also still present. To use Aero Shake, grab a window's title bar with your mouse and shake the window around on-screen. All other windows will automatically minimize themselves. If you grab the window's boarder and shake it again, the minimized windows will automatically return to their initial positions.
Gone: Flip 3D
The Flip 3D feature introduced in Windows Vista has now been removed. Flip 3D activated an Alt-Tab-like window switcher when you pressed the Windows key and Tab at the same time. With Flip 3D, you "flip" through larger window thumbnails to select an open window.
In Windows 8, Microsoft now uses the Windows Key+Tab hotkey combination for the new switcher, which switches between Modern Windows 8 apps. (The traditional Alt+Tab switcher is still available. it works with both desktop and Modern-style apps.)
Gone: Aero Glass
The Aero Glass feature that offered transparent, glass-like window borders has been removed. It's not simply off-by-default – Microsoft has removed the code for the blur effect that allowed Aero Glass to work properly.
Instead of the glass-like transparent window borders, the Windows desktop now has solid-color window borders. This is what Microsoft means when they say that Aero has been removed. (The taskbar is still partially transparent, however.)
There's a way to re-enable transparent window borders and get an Aero Glass-like effect, but it doesn't work as well as we would hope. The removal of the blur feature means that the window borders will be completely transparent, which can be distracting. There's also graphical corruption in some situations – Microsoft clearly doesn't want anyone using Aero Glass anymore.
The good news is that Aero isn't completely gone in Windows 8 – Microsoft isn't dragging us back to the Windows XP era by removing all the hardware acceleration and 3D effects. However, Aero Glass – perhaps Aero's most prominent user-facing feature — is gone.
If you like Aero Glass, this is unfortunate – but if you were worried about Microsoft removing hardware acceleration and Aero's other features, you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Comments (25)
All these changes are ruining Windows, and it's why I've quit coding and just started drinking beer on the couch. I just don't give a damn anymore. The constant catch-up and changes just aren't worth it. Computers be damned.
I don't worry about it, I am staying with windows7, tried 8 and wasn't impressed
At flip 3d category there is a type error at windows
Features are nice but some times makes me irritated
MS STATED that in order to RUN windows aero you NEED a powerful computer.
just because 8 may use less resources don't change this fact.
windows 8 defaults to turn aero off just in case you don't have a power full enough computer.
win 7 was automatic, if you computer was good enough it turned aero on but if it wasn't it turned it off.
just so every one understands……AERO REQUIRES a GOOD MID to HI END Graphics card to run and a specific amount or system RAM.
I want to know how to turn the transparency of the task bar off. Anyone?
As long as Aero Snap is still there I'm okay. It's a feature I never thought I'd need but would hate to lose ever again! Even my girlfriend who's grown up on Macs has mentioned at least once a week that she wishes she could do that on her computer
I asked the question above about turning off taskbar transparency. I now know and here is how.
Right click the desktop and click Personalize
If you haven't already, save your theme.
Find your theme at C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes
Start Notepad.exe and open your theme file.
In there you will find the text
change Aero.msstyles to AeroLite.msstyles and save the file under a new name but still as a .theme file.
Exit, reboot, select Personalize, select your new theme file and customize it if you wish and save it.
This works on Win 8 and probably on Win 7 also.
I forgot to mention that my change above also changes other aspects of the Win 8 GUI icluding sounds if you had previously customized them. That is the penalty for progress. If you don't like it then change back to your original theme. You did save the new one as a different name, didn't you?
Why was one of the most intensely ballyhooed features of Windows-7 (really usable by all) not featured in Windows-8, but has been replaced by Metro UI (really usable by a few)? This is an excellent example of Microsoft losing focus and becoming conflicted in its goals.
I'm sure it is one of many reasons people with work to do on their PCs will be sticking with Windows-7.
Right, because aero glass is TOTALLY needed for people with "work to do".
wow microsoft could have at least gave us an option to not use metro or maybe revert back to aero from win7 I can safely say this update isn't worth it
Microsoft moved beyond Aero .Yeah ,and I moved beyond windows 8 to windows 95 … DUH!
well since I use linux I just don't really care ..
Aero glass is nice, and aesthetic, but how does it help me be productive? Those that r always looking for little things to gripe & complain about so they can tout and hoot and holler about their "Linux experience" like to find anything to criticize.
I could care less if its there or not. I like windows 8 & dont mind it not being there.
Actually TsarNikky, there is nothing (much) to dislike in Win8. A week after upgrading, I actually prefer it to 7, and have got it just as functional as 7 for serious work – booting to the desktop, with programs and exit/restart buttons on the taskbar and an excellent link to the desktop on the taskbar for other programs. I still use Metro for search and some other functions that are not on the desktop. I am expecting Metro to be more relevant when/if I get a touchscreen machine.
Pity. The glass effect is nice to look at. Windows 8 is a step backwards in my personal opinion.
I hate that Flip 3D and Aero Glass are gone. Those were my favourite two!
you are all stupid fu…ers and because of mens like you the design are gone aero thing more ram end video its your antivirus software that thinking is yours software icons in right menu of the taskbar that is thinking not the aero not the flip 3d maybe you are not understand windows 8 is not faster than windows 7 or vista more power consuming because of metro widget that is changing every minutes end so what menu laptops are now nvidia 600 series video card 2 gb and more with usb memory video meny laptops have scsi hard drives faster for copy informations many laptops now have 8 and 16 gb ram and processors like intel core 2 quad core i7 and now xeon and what you dont have 256 mb video and the 384 mb of ram for aero design ? laptops like toshiba sony acer …. i want to make all windows glass without the theme maket of some fu..er and what i have still ram for all of my programs i can run 4 programs with one Hd video mkv with corel windvd end what .. u thing for all of you that you are only fu..ers not anymore
I do two things that make Win8 desktop more usable.
One, I purchased Start8 from Stardock for $4.99. It allows you to put the Win7 start menu back…and it allows you to disable the taskbar transparency. I highly recommend this. It's cheap and gives you access to both the start menu and the start screen. You can even pin Win8 apps to the start menu. Very handy.
Two, I enabled Quick Launch (yes, it's still there) using this method: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/888-quick-launch-enable-disable.html
This method works in Win7 and Win8.
ClassicShell is freeware for nice Start and boot to Desktop !
… i'm using all Previews now the whole year and NEVER needed damn Metro… u even can live without Start Button but in some cases it's handy and MORE handy than damn Metro!
I too think, that theres NO WAY for touchscreen at large Screens ! Its something for small Displays- even at 7″ it becomes UNHANDY! So why do they change a desktop-system to touch-needs????
For gymnastics like Wii-Games??
AND i really liked Win8! .. so i bought it… and seeking 10 hours for glass hack now … :(((
I use my PC in my freetime only and i ever want to have a nice UI – i ever hated this at XP since i learned to patch it and never understood, why u can't officially change it :(
But now i loved Win8 sharpGLASSframes ….and they cut me … hope it's hacked soon … but this is same shit as XP in the end …
….sometimes i think bill gates doesn't see a difference if glass or not or blue or black cause of his thick glasses … and many ppls really don't care about glass or not … my gf too … but she needs glasses too … maybe it's really only important for ppls with sharp eyes? … just a sentiment …
@ Haynz…
No one has any idea what you're trying to say. Perhaps English isn't your first language so it's difficult for you to relay your thoughts. In any case, Bill Gates has nothing to do with Microsoft anymore.
i have just bought a windows 8 toshiba laptop . can i downgrade to windows 7 and not affect my warranty.
because i hate windows 8 and them start menu apps still dont make me comfortable windows 8 .
When you install Classic Shell on Win8 in order to restore the earlier Start button, the restored Start button (some look-alike window from Classic Shell) is transparent as earlier with Vista and 7. So the old code must be still there somehow. So far I was not successful searching the Internet for how to enable it again …
What the hell are you on about?

Coconut Supreme Torte
Heavenly cakes are a hallmark of dessert time, and Coconut Supreme Torte is no exception. The coconut-flavored, three-layer treat features a creamy frosting. "My neighbor made the scrumptious cake and gave me the recipe," relates Vernelle L. of Upland, California. "Could you adjust it so the cake is just as delicious but with fewer calories?"
No problem, Vernelle! Part of the cake's no-fuss appeal is that it starts with a mix. As such, our staff members began by lightening up the ingredients that are added to the mix. Egg whites replaced whole eggs and applesauce was swapped in for the oil.
By toasting the walnuts, our experts were able to both capture the nutty flavor of the original cake and halve the amount of nuts called for. They were also able to achieve the flavor and texture of Vernelle's submission with less coconut and confectioners' sugar.
These steps resulted in an impressive edible that has less than half the fat of the original cake. With nearly 200 calories and 22% of the carbohydrates trimmed from each slice, Makeover Coconut Supreme Torte is as easy on the waistline as it is the taste buds.

"These are as comfy and light as they can be. Unfortunately, they are not "build to last" as I have been wearing them occasionally since early August and the soles have been disintegrating after the very first use.
