THIS STORYLove or Hate Windows 8? Users Weigh In
LATERThird Time's a Charm for Microsoft's Office 365
By Jennifer LeClaire. Updated February 19, 2013 12:59PM
Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system has been widely available now for several months and has been the source of extensive controversy among long-time Windows users. Recognizing that big changes can take time to gain popularity, we are asking users again to weigh in once again with feedback on Windows 8.
If you've made the switch to Windows 8, we hope you'll share your feedback below. Often we hear from the critics first, while those who "love it" or at least "like it" are less likely to chime in.
And for those still wondering whether it's time to take the plunge, we share some initial feedback below from our readers who have already made the switch to Win8.
Some users love it and some users hate it. Unfortunately, the majority of comments fall into the 'hate it' category.
Not Intuitive Enough
Nick, a recent commenter who clearly hates Windows 8, asks: "Why would you put out a new operating system that promises updated speed and functionality, but delivers it in a package that is difficult to use?" In his opinion, Windows 8 requires having to "relearn everything."
Nick says he agrees with another commenter who wrote, "It takes 3 times as long to do anything that's not Facebook or email related. I will admit," he wrote, "for strictly leisure tasks (photos, videos, etc.), this is a good upgrade from Windows 7. However, if you need to get anything other than that (like work) done, you will be extremely frustrated. If it wasn't for Flash player and the high price of Apple equipment, I'd never come back to MS."
Better for Tablets
On the other hand, Dr. Mike says Windows 8 "takes about 1 week to get used to it, but once you do, you will really like it. You can open the 'desktop' tile and essentially convert to Windows 7, but the new Windows 8 gives Windows a 'fun factor' that has been lacking."
Dr. Mike says he thinks it is "going to take some time to get used to it," but he disagrees with the critics here. "As more and more people use it, especially in tablets and convertible PCs," he predicts "Windows 8 is going to be a huge winner."
Too Many Steps
Another recent commenter who goes simply by 'E' says: "Out of the box, Windows 8 makes basic stuff like starting and stopping applications, and closing down the system a multi seek and click affair. When doing actual work, I find it essential to be able to see several windows on the screen at once. Windows 8 likes to pop up apps covering the whole screen. This is just plain wrong in a work context."
Working at home can also be complicated with the new operating system, E points out. "The practice within my family of simply sharing a Windows account, apps and documents on the desktop, is also an issue. This is due to the tight integration to an email account. Windows 8 appears to be designed for: one user = one email = one desktop -- as far as I can tell." E found a work-around for the difficulty, but not without compromise. "I have learned to live with Windows 8 by using the ClassicShell.net start menu on top and setting the family up with a shared email account.
On the plus side, E says, "Actually, I think the speed, security and 'apps' approach of Windows 8 could have made this OS into an outright winner." But ultimately, because of the inconveniences, E concludes the current state of Windows 8 is "a bit sad."
A Mess of Icons
Some other useful commentary comes from Hoody, who writes, "I don't like the look of the GUI at all, reminds me of W98 with a mess of icons on the desktop. I would also go back to W7 if I had the Pro version, but I had the Home Premium and wanted to move to the Pro version. So, I took the deal for new computer buyers: 15 bucks was a deal to go Pro and the media center thrown in for free."
Since making the change Oct. 26th, Hoody writes, "I have redone things to at least think I have W7 back, all except the Aero. I found a 3rd party start menu (start8), found the old MS games, and even found a gadgets progam (8gadgets), so it's at least in a workable way."
Hoody hopes that Microsoft will come out with a patch of some sort "to allow non touch desktop and laptop users the same interface as W7." The way Microsoft Windows 8 is configured out of the box for ALL users, Hoody concludes, "wasn't exactly the best idea, and it's going to be nothing but a headache for MS."
Another perspective comes from Don, who says, "I work for a store that sells laptops and desktops. Most people do not like Windows 8. I have heard IT folks talk about lack of drivers and incompatibility issues. I personally don't like it. I have it on my system at home because I have to be familiar with it to explain it to customers, but I would go back to Windows 7 in a heartbeat."
One User's Wish List
Aaron offers a laundry list of helpful feedback on Windows 8, saying: "If Microsoft reads forums like these, they need to listen up. Here are some of the main points people don't like and the issues they need to fix:
Aaron concludes that, "Windows 8 is a lemon, not the wave of the future. It's OK for touch devices, but don't expect half the world to rush out and buy expensive gadgets just so they can use Windows 8, the world doesn't care. If it's not possible to conveniently use the same operating system on both touch and non-touch devices, then create two operating systems, not just one big loser." Ouch.
More Pros and Cons
Harpula also characterizes Windows 8 as a lemon, offering an interesting assessment of its pros and cons.
Win8 Pros:
Win8 Cons:
Sorry He Switched
Craig S. agrees that Microsoft had taken some steps backwards on Windows 8: "Eye candy is a great strategy for marketing. But when you give up functionality you lose. Microsoft has had a few losers over the years, and I feel this one is headed that way!"
Meanwhile, a commenter named Ken said he "upgraded to Windows 8 and have been sorry ever since." Unfortunately, he's not alone.
Another commenter said he hates the absence of the Windows Start menu, and, "When I try to enter information in a Web site or in an e-mail, symbols will not type out, such as: the @ sign for an e-mail address, the $ sign, etc. When I try to get assistance from Microsoft, I am forwarded to an independent IT company that wants $90.00 to help me with a software issue....NO WAY."
But Benefits Are There
Despite all the "hater" comments, some users are applauding the all-new Windows 8. A user named "Paul" said he recently bought Windows 8 Pro. He called it "amazing" and "one of the best things Microsoft has brought out."
"I say it's better than Windows 7 and faster. It's well worth buying and don't miss out cause when you see it for yourself, you will fall in love," Paul wrote. "Yes, it is complicated, but when you get used to it, then you won't want to leave it alone. My rating is a five star and I give it 100% for its speed, etc." Paul advises, "Buy it now and enjoy it. I am and so are many more people."
Another user who called himself "Jlp" said he had been using Windows 8 since its release on a non-touch desktop and called it a "joy."
Dazzy agrees: "I'm in the 'love it' category. It took getting used to. Made me feel like a novice again, but when I learned the interface, it is fun, fast and refreshing. LOVE the music integration."
Better for Novices, Fewer Expectations
A commenter named LogicalMachine is no fan of Windows 8 for his own work as a computer programmer, but he does think it's good for novices. He says the pros include being faster, more efficient, and what he calls "moron friendly." Get Windows 8 if you dont know a thing about computers, he advises, but, "DON'T get Windows 8 if you are [a programmer] like me. The thing has a freaking mind of its own."
Regarding all the negative feedback, a reader named David suggests that many of the detractors are either spoiled or lazy: "Windows 8 is very easy to use but you have to be willing to learn the new features and gestures of this new operating system, and it appears that a lot of people are not willing to do this. I love my Windows 8 Pro and have converted it to look and operate just the way my Windows 7 did. You can't be lazy people or you will miss out on this great version of Windows."

I hate windows 8, 8.1 - it sucks!!!!!!
have purchased a copy of windows 7 and I am attempting to re-install, have great hope that all will become normal again. But how does one ever get over an experience like windows 8, 8.1? I feel violated by Microsoft, and feel that in future we the people should have a choice of O/S when we purchase a new computer.

Windows 8 is horrible! Every Time i see the number 8 it enrages me. Yeah the OS isn't 'too bad' if you just want to check facebook or like full screen apps for whatever reason but i am a multitasker and i like functionality. Windows 8 is a disaster. Only 5% of PC's out there are running Windows 8. What does that tell you? Anyone who thinks Windows 8 is an improvement must have some kind of brain disorder or something. With every new release they do they get worse and worse. Windows 7 was good and i thought it was better than XP but some users even hated 7 so it can only mean that MS continues to screw up. I'm moving to Linux, Microstupid can go do whatever they want they have failed me.

Windows 8 stinks...stay far away from it. I hate my HP Envy dv7 so much I am going to donate it and buy a new computer...err...I mean an Apple.

Have a Dell XPS 12 with flip screen - HATE Windows 8. Most of my work is done in a Windows 7 Desktop environment and Windows 8 makes this method maddeningly painful. I use Start8, which is a big help, but am discovering other 'features' that are counter-productive. Can't Drag & Drop to 'Copy' a file - have to use Menus(!) to do it. Who thinks this is an improvement?!
Posted: 2013-03-25 @ 2:52pm PT
I tried to be open minded to changes and give it a chance, but windows 8 made my workflow practically impossible or so time consuming that its just not worth it. This seems to me has only been designed with internet surfers and app buyers in mind and totally ignored people who actually use their computers/laptops for real work... cant described how disappointing it is, so very frustrating, annoying, incredible how the simplest task has been made overly complicated, now I HAVE TO WATCH A VIDEO ON HOW TO TURN OFF MY COMPUTER, this is a joke!!!!! I don't have time to waste it on watching videos on how to perform simplest tasks that took seconds to do... disgusted totally... downgrading asap

I went from XP to Windows 8 and I loath it, despise it, hate it. Apart from surf the net as a consumer it is almost impossible to do ANYTHING that I used to do creatively...and as for that vile tile screen abortion, I hate it, hate it, hate it.
What were Microsoft thinking?
I've had it almost a month & am using the computer less & less out of utter frustration.
Microsoft this was a booboo, fail on an epic scale!

I'm returning my windows 8 based laptop and converting to Apple. Will never purchase windows platform again. Thanks for making my work life a complete pain. What is this AOL in the 90's?

So windows 8 is more like a touchscreen...well if I had wanted an Ipad I would have bought one!! Absolutely hate it, agree with the comments about having to relearn everything, things are so bad I have gone back to my old laptop! sick of the pages moving somewhere else every time I touch the pad.. infuriating! Listen to the old saying "if it ain't broke why fix it"

I hate it. My father just bought a new laptop with it pre-installed (I am still on XP - I LOVE XP! I could update to Vista, have disk, but delay as long as possible)I digress- he and my mother cannot make heads or tails out of it. I went through LOGMEIN and was able to see their desktop, get them so they can access their email. It took 2 hours to figure out (I had a big navigation learning curve first.) No kidding. This signing up for a Microsoft account before you can even USE email is ridiculous. We didn't need ANOTHER account to remember.
Yup. I loathe thee too (thanks Linda!)and am going to stay as far away from it as possible. Even Vista looks better now.
PS: WHERE is the navigation on Explorer? WHERE is the navigation for email? I hate it!
Posted: 2013-03-03 @ 7:23pm PT
Oh, Windows 8
How do I loathe thee?
Let me count the ways
I loathe thee to the depth & breadth & height my soul can reach
I loathe thee so much that I gladly paid $112 just to go back to Window 7
THAT is how much I loathe thee
And I shall but loathe thee better after death (YOUR death).

With Windows 8 Microsoft became a major player in the "Dumbing down America" movement.

I HATE it! It has wasted so much time! It's more work. I can't find anything. I HATE IT! I just downloaded some stuff that's stuck somewhere I can't get out. I'm a bit angry and frustrated after 3 months of this bs.
Posted: 2013-03-02 @ 4:24pm PT
I hate Windows 8. It only works well with a touch screen, like a tablet. As a desktop OS it is a complete waste of time. As noted above, it is great for people who know nothing, but power users will be pulling their hair out in no time flat.
Posted: 2013-02-28 @ 8:25pm PT
Since Microsoft will just keep doing this (this is Vista all over again), I want to find another OS. Not sure I want to use Mac. Are there any other options? What is Linux? Thanks!

HATE IT!! I bought a new computer and it was on it, UNFORTUNATELY. It makes everything difficult, more steps, cuts out mid google search or in the middle of reviewing emails. Just to turn it off it takes three clicks...RIDICULOUS!! I got stuck with awful VISTA before and now stuck with this....which is WORSE!

Add start 8 $4.99 or start menu 8 then the metro ui becomes secondary like it is an app to be used when needed
Why did they do that:
Posted: 2013-02-24 @ 8:31pm PT
I just built myself a new PC. And since windows 7 was such an improvement, I didn't hesitate to get windows 8. Now I am wondering if Microsoft offers a downgrade option. For a tablet it would probably be a great OS, but for a traditional PC it removes too many functions in the attempt to be more user friendly.
Posted: 2013-02-23 @ 1:05am PT
I have been using it as my main OS since Developers Preview. I liked it immediately. Sure there have been things that made me scratch my head, but honestly I dont think I googled how to do anything. Haters be darned. One of the biggest memes that really gets my goat is "it is optimized for touch so mouse and keyboard suck." I use mouse and keyboard only and I can tell you emphatically I can get anywhere in the OS or do anything faster than any other version of Windows. I really don't care if you dont like it at all, but don't push your opinions off as fact. I think you haters have made a dent in user uptake. Happy? But guess what? Users will eventually figure out that it is all FUD. And MS will have the last laugh and I will be there laughing with them.

System 8 is a disaster. I HATE IT! It's cumbersome to use and has a lot of glitches. When I bought a brand new laptop with system 8 it would not let me load MS office publisher 2010! A couple of months later, I tried again and it worked but it is not a user friendly operating system and I guarantee it wil be an all time black eye on Microsoft as the worst (yes including Vista) operating system ever
Posted: 2013-02-21 @ 4:26pm PT
HATE WINDOWS 8! And no, you don't get used to it after a week. They have so many programs buried it's ridiculous and the number of extra steps to complete formerly simple tasks is a colossal waste of time. I've been a PC user for 30 years and this is the worst Windows EVER!
Posted: 2013-02-20 @ 1:00pm PT
I switched from Windows XP to Windows 8. I have a total of 40 years working with many operating systems. Clearly, in my opinion, Windows 8 has the steepest learning curve I have ever experienced.
Many of my previous (and expensive) software will not work with Windows 8.

Windows 8 is the last thing I want to see from Microsoft. Their apparent obsession with competing with Google for the Facebook crowd has caused them to ignore their core user community--professionals. Their Office package still has glaring weaknesses (formatting in Word and PowerPoint, for example). an inordinate amount of time is required to trick the software into the format you want. Every new operating system simply rearranges basic file management systems, rather than improving them.
Posted: 2013-02-20 @ 6:20am PT
After reading the whole article, I think those who say no don't know win8 at all. Most of their problems could be solved if they google or bring home "Win8 for dummy". The one who has problem with symbols, I would say "Get a new touch-based Win8 PC" instead.

For every windows that Microsoft offered since it inception there has always been complainers and haters of the new upgrade.
However, over time we learn to love it.
Posted: 2013-02-19 @ 1:43pm PT
I love it, I had a Macintosh before (3 Macintoshes), and an XP before that, but I absolutely love Windows 8, it is easy to use, simpler, the applications are efficient, Internet Exlorer 10 is better than FireFox, WaterFox, Safari and Google Chrome combined, the Start Menu is easy to use (I don't even miss the start-button), the charms bar works like a charm ;) and everything about is is awesome. BEST O.S. EVER, kudos to Microsoft for creating this awesome piece of software, worth every euro-cent I spend on it, and more.

My kids are very excited for this version of Windows - for the entertainment factor.
But this version of Windows is not the environment for business use; which my purchase of a new laptop this week is for. I did not buy it for social networking. If only I would have understood that when purchasing :(
Not user friendly at all, I have a degree in computers and find this version of Windows cumbersome to navigate!! I miss the START button (and solitaire, that was my brain break!) I wish I could go back...
Posted: 2013-02-19 @ 1:37pm PT
This is the first operating system that actually made me want to throw the computer out the door .... never been so frustrated while trying to do simple tasks! Ordered Windows 7 and they shipped this - how's that for customer service!!
Posted: 2013-02-19 @ 1:35pm PT
For the average home user, I suppose Windows 8 will work fine. It's designed to be a 'quick-touch and go' operating system, meaning your email and playful apps are readily available. Unfortunately, Microsoft has left anyone using Windows for work out in the cold. I'm a network engineer and familiar with many different kinds of operating systems. Our desk computers are Windows 7. They are functional, clean, and relatively quick to use. After testing Windows 8 for a corporate environment, I can safely say that we will not be upgrading to it. Simply put, it is not for the multi-tasker. You will find it difficult to have a ticketing system open while reading your email and monitoring another application for things going on in your network. I don't understand why Microsoft would alienate corporations in this way... but it's just another reason to switch over to Ubuntu for a corporate environment.
Posted: 2013-02-19 @ 1:33pm PT
As an IT manager, I can assure all of you that we will not be upgrading our 4000+ users to win8 anytime in the near future. It is simply not an OS that companies can use. It may be good for children under 5, but for doing any kind of productive work it is useless.
Third Time's a Charm for Microsoft's Office 365
By Jennifer LeClaire / CIO Today. Updated February 27, 2013.
Microsoft is beefing up Office 365 for business and rolling out tailored versions for small, medium and large enterprises: ProPlus, Midsize Business and Small Business Premium.
With this third new version of Office 365, users can get Microsoft's productivity apps on up to five devices. Office 365 features enhanced enterprise social capabilities with SharePoint and Yammer, Lync-Skype connectivity for presence, instant messaging, and voice by June.
"For Hamburg Port Authority, our typical day on ships and in the harbor is different from most companies, as are our technology and business needs," said Dr. Sebastian Saxe, chief information officer at Hamburg Port Authority. "Our workforce is mobile, so communication and access to information is critical for our 1,900 employees. Office 365 helps our team connect to the people and information that are important, while also reducing IT time on testing, installing and updating versions by 75 percent."
Three Flavors
Office 365 ProPlus has all the bells and whistles -- Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher, InfoPath and Access -- delivered as a service. IT departments also get the controls they need, including the ability to run Office 365 ProPlus side-by-side with other versions of Office and tools to streamline and manage updates. Office 365 ProPlus is available as a standalone offering for $144 per user for an annual subscription.
As its name suggests, Office 365 Midsize Business is designed for medium-size businesses with 10 to 250 employees. This service includes Office 365 ProPlus and provides midsize businesses with enterprise-quality communication and collaboration with Exchange Online, Lync Online and SharePoint Online. Pricing is $180 per user for an annual subscription.
Office 365 Small Business Premium is designed for small businesses with one to 10 employees. In addition to the complete set of Office apps, this service includes business-grade e-mail, shared calendars, Web site tools and HD videoconferencing capability that does not require IT expertise. Pricing is $150 per user for an annual subscription.
Best of Both Worlds
Wes Miller, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft, said this third version of Office 365 is far and away the best Microsoft has created.
"The new version of Office 365 comes the closest to actually offering a service," Miller told us. "I think businesses will gravitate to Office 365 faster than they have in the past."
Microsoft Office 365 has two key competitors: its own desktop software and Google Docs. Although Miller doesn't see Office 365 as critical at this point in time, he does see shifting tides. Google Docs is gaining momentum, but users are also still using old versions of Office on the desktop. Microsoft, he said, is encouraging companies to upgrade to Office 2013 and Office 365.
"Not all the editions include the desktop suite, but for those that do it provides a really interesting counterpoint to Google, in particular, because you are completely offline," Miller said. "While Google is adding offline capabilities to some of the apps, you still can't work offline with all of them. With Office 365, you can get a little bit of the best of the both words. You have to install the desktop suite, but they've made it so it's pretty flexible. You can work offline wherever you are and access services when you log online."

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

For contemplation…
"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Video stats: Over 777,000 views in just 20 days!
Allow me to reintroduce you to Yeo Valley Farms (pronounced Yo!). Yeo Valley is an organic farm and dairy business in the U.K. with a unique and youthful vision. This family-based company started producing organic yogurt back in 1993 and their line has grown from there to include butter, cheese, milk and ice cream.
Buzz is also growing around this new video ad (now available on itunes!). Deftly designed to draw a young, hip to the green scene, Yeo Valley called in some heavy duty help to shape their message into a music video. They enlisted music video director Julien Lutz (best known for his work with artists like Usher, Alicia Keys, Mystikal, The Ying Yang Twins and Rihanna) and Yeo Boyz to create an authentic organic anthem.
With tractors bumpin like cadillacs on hydraulics and beat-laden production it was hard to go wrong. The lyrics are delivered with skill and don't come off forced at all even with a strong conservation message:
"This isn't fictional farming
It's realer than real
You won't find milk maidens
That's no longer the deal
In my wax coat and boots
I'm proper farmer Giles
Now look
You urban folk done stole our style"
Did they succeed? I'll let you be the judge. Drop your comments below!

NPNs like to sink current
I placed the motor in the right place, worked for 1/100s then stopped. I had forgotten pin13 to ground without resistor, from testing. Killed pin13 on my microcontroller.
I'm curious though...what's the explanation? Why would everything work with the motor between collector and ground when the arduino was not involved? Feeding the base of Q1 with power from my breadboard worked just fine. Hmm...
That is what you will see in most diagrams.
Secondly, as elsewhere noted, a 3 transistor Darlington probably has too much gain for life in this universe.
It would also help to know how much current the motor draws when running flat out.

The original purpose of the at-home card was to let guests know when the newlyweds will be back from their honeymoon (often a grand tour of Europe) and at which address they will be residing.
Couples still use them for such a purpose, but they are also used today to communicate new contact numbers and email addresses. It is also a lovely way to present a bride's new name.
The Make-Up
The at-home card is a small enclosure card featuring card stock, lettering style and ink color that matches the wedding invitations with which they are sent.
The wording for the at-home card sent with the marriage announcement is different from the wording for the at-home card sent with the wedding invitations. At-home cards sent with announcements show your names together as "Mr. and Mrs." since you are already married when they are sent. When sent with invitations, your names are not used since you are not yet married and cannot use "Mr. and Mrs."
While the principle purpose of at-home cards is to let people know your new address, when sent with announcements they can also let people know that you have chosen to continue using your maiden name. Your name appears on the first line followed by your husband's name on line two. The remainder of the card reads as it normally would. Since you could have presented yourself as "Mrs." but did not, it will be assumed that you are still using your maiden name.
Violet James
and Jackson Mansford
At-home cards are like the change-of-address cards you might send when you move. They simply announce your new address and are a great convenience for anyone who wants to keep in touch with you. They are not gift-request cards and should never be interpreted as such.

Unemployed man blames Obama for loss of his job
On Oct. 2, I was laid off from a job I had held for more than six years.
Although there was some level of politics involved, the reason given was because Obamacare was going to cost the company $160 million next year, and the company had to cut back. Because I worked very hard and took very few days off, I was blessed to have accumulated five weeks of vacation. This vacation has ended. I had hoped that the election would have turned the economy around, but instead the stock markets dropped immediately. I doubt my former employer will be spending any money that is not necessary. I am composing this letter while waiting to talk to someone in the WIN office about the bleak prospect of my becoming employed.
After that, I will be forced to sign up for unemployment for the first time in 20 years. If you are a working, taxpaying American who voted for Obama, congratulations.
I am now one of the millions of unemployed that you are responsible for creating and you will be responsible for supporting for the foreseeable future.
If you are a working, taxpaying American who voted for Romney, I truly appreciate your help, and I apologize for being a burden for you to bear. Please don't blame me. I voted for Romney. I want to work.

Spotting Smurfs, gorilla suits, Ghostbusters, and lots of children in Hampton Park usually means one of two things: it's Halloween, or it's the annual Charleston Bed Race. If your Smurf sighting happened last Sunday, you were privy to one of Charleston's most innovative and exciting family-friendly affairs, benefiting Camp Happy Days.
Back for it's second year, this year's Bed Race offered twice as much marvelous mayhem. Outrageously decorated beds faced off in heats to move on to the final race, and this year's track was a two-city-block up and back course, which allowed for some strategizing.
Bed designs ranged from a chicken pen to a fire engine and even a pirate ship, and one mobile mattress ferried a gorilla while blasting "Brass Monkey" by the Beastie Boys. Although a bed lost a wheel and another suffered a blow out, on the whole onlookers were able to breathe a sigh of relief, as this year's beds were far more carefully constructed than their forefathers.
While the improved bed construction and a few new rules made for a more predictable race (sans flying wheels, airborne bits of mattress, and wayward headboards), the cleaner course inspired some devious race strategies, taking competitors by surprise and energizing the crowd. The US Coast Guard "Chiefs to the Rescue" bed ran interference against the The City of Charleston Palmetto Smurfs by pulling ahead and weaving wildly across the road, and spectators cheered the Chiefs across the finish line.
When not egging teams on, guests mingled in the Beer Garden or enjoyed a tasty treat from Taco Boy. People of all ages wandered the park and played with some of the many canine supporters roaming about the crowd. It was another successful afternoon of bedlam, benefiting a wonderful cause.
The Charleston Bed Race is an annual event which benefits Camp Happy Days, an organization that has been serving children diagnosed with cancer and their families in the Charleston area for over 28 years. Camp Happy Days is a year round program which supports South Carolina's pediatric cancer patients by providing programs, special events emotional support and access to crisis resources.

Dental x-rays are a type of picture of the teeth and mouth. X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, just like visible light. They are of higher energy, however, and can penetrate the body to form an image on film.
Structures that are dense (such as silver fillings or metal restoration) will block most of the photons and will appear white on developed film. Structures containing air will be black on film, and teeth, tissue, and fluid will appear as shades of gray.
X-ray - teeth; Radiograph - dental; Bitewings; Periapical film; Panoramic film
The test is performed in the dentist's office. There are many types of dental x-rays. Some are:
The bitewing is when the patient bites on a paper tab and shows the crown portions of the top and bottom teeth together.
The periapical shows one or two complete teeth from crown to root.
A palatal or occlusal x-ray captures all the upper and lower teeth in one shot while the film rests on the biting surface of the teeth.
A panoramic x-ray requires a special machine that rotates around the head. The x-ray captures the entire jaws and teeth in one shot. It is used to plan treatment for dental implants, check for impacted wisdom teeth, and detect jaw problems. A panoramic x-ray is not good for detecting cavities, unless the decay is very advanced and deep.
In addition, many dentists are taking x-rays using digital technology. The image runs through a computer. The amount of radiation transmitted during the procedure is less than traditional methods. Other types of dental x-rays can create a 3-D picture of the jaw. Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) may be used prior to dental surgery, especially when multiple implants are being placed.
There is no special preparation. Notify the dentist if you are pregnant.
The x-ray itself causes no discomfort. Some people find that biting on the piece of film makes them gag. Slow, deep breathing through the nose usually relieves this feeling.
Dental x-rays help diagnose disease and injury of the teeth and gums.
The x-rays show a normal number, structure, and position of the teeth and jaw bones. There are no cavities or other problems.
Dental x-rays may be used to identify the following:
There is very low radiation exposure. However, no one should receive more radiation than necessary. A lead apron can be used to cover the body and reduce radiation exposure. Pregnant women should not have x-rays taken unless absolutely necessary.
Dental x-rays can reveal dental cavities (tooth decay) before they are visible even to the dentist. Many dentists will take yearly bitewings to catch the early development of cavities.

10.11: Extinction and Radiation of Life
Should this pterodactyl be concerned? Should you?
When the dinosaurs were wiped out by an asteroid impact, the mammals were waiting to take over their niches. Could this happen again? Are there other ways species could go extinct and leave open niches for new organisms to fill?
Most of the species that have lived have also gone extinct. There are two ways to go extinct: besides the obvious way of dying out completely, a species goes extinct if it evolves into a different species. Extinction is a normal part of Earth's history.
But sometimes large numbers of species go extinct in a short amount of time. This is a mass extinction. The causes of different mass extinctions are different: collisions with comets or asteroids, massive volcanic eruptions, or rapidly changing climate are all possible causes of some of these disasters (Figure below).
An extinct Tyrannosaurus rex. This fossil resembling a living organism.
Adaptive Radiation
After a mass extinction, many habitats are no longer inhabited by organisms because they have gone extinct. With new habitats available, some species will adapt to the new environments. Evolutionary processes act rapidly during these times and many new species evolve to fill those available habitats. The process in which many new species evolve in a short period of time to fill available niches is called adaptive radiation. At the end of this period of rapid evolution the life forms do not look much like the ones that were around before the mass extinction. For example, after the extinction of the dinosaurs, mammals underwent adaptive radiation and became the dominant life form.
- Species go extinct when all of the individuals die out or evolve into a different species.
- Many species go extinct at roughly the same time during a mass extinction.
- New habitats become available and species evolve to fill them so that biodiversity increases during adaptive radiation.
Making Connections
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What percentage of all species are now extinct?
2. What is a mass extinction?
3. Why do extinctions occur?
4. What allows species to survive?
5. What is the cause of the current mass extinction?
6. How may species face extinction in the next 100 years?
1. Why is extinction considered a normal part of Earth's history?
2. What are some of the possible causes of mass extinctions?
3. Why do many new species evolve after a mass extinction?
