Guantanamo legal files mysteriously disappear from PCs
In an institution already cloaked in mystery, puzzling happenings seem to be afoot at Guantanamo Bay prison.
Not only have many legal files suddenly disappeared from the defense team's computers, but also hundreds of thousands their documents have landed on the prosecution's computers, according to Reuters. This debacle has caused several pretrial hearings in the prison's military tribunals to be delayed.
It's not clear how the files vanished or if there was any illegal action behind the disappearance. It could have been a simple computer blip, IT issues, a security breach, hackers, or one of the … Read more

So, Chainlinkers, hot enough for ya? Har har har.
Can't decide if the wind is ameliorating things or making it worse. Seriously this is like the worst day and anyone who walks out of work and throws their bike on a bus without a second thought is forgiven in advance.
It's been hotter and I have to admit I would rather be soaked with rain instead of sweat, but I will continue to ride as it's better than being crammed on a train with 100 other sweaty hot humans.
This morning was actually very nice. It was hot this afternoon, but I tried the bus once when it was hot--riding is better. I go slow anyway.
That west wind is HOT.
Maybe some rain for tomorrow morning, Melanie :-).
99 degrees at 7 p.m. riding down Damen to go home. Just did an errand...seems like at least 90 at 11 pm?! Stay hydrated!
Well, I put on my rear fender this morning for my commute. I'm so glad I did, since there were so many puddles on the way to work.
Sloppy, but quiet, out there on the Lakefront this morning. If it weren't so hot & humid, it would almost be great out there.
Only road to Chicago this morning, but seemed that I was passed by the usual suspects :-)
Hi Lisa! I think I passed you! I recently discovered the showers at work and now I ride a little harder in the mornings than I used to.
Yeah, its been pretty hot. I've been riding every day. This morning, even though it was in the 70's seemed almost as bad as last night - it was crazy humid this morning.
My problem is not being motivated to ride, but being motivated to wrench. The shifter cable on my three speed has been busted for about a week now and I just can't bring myself to start working on it - even though the basement bike shop is a lot cooler than the 2nd floor apartment.
Hi Lizzy. If you were riding between Addison and Chicago between 7:20 and 7:50 you probably did pass me--everyone does! And although I always won the spelling bees in grammar school I still wrote "road" instead of "rode". Good thing there are no nuns around.

China Painting Teachers Gather in Brownwood
By: Lisa Tipton, www.brownwoodnews.com
Updated: September 11, 2011
From all across the state, China Painting Teachers of Texas are gathered in Brownwood for a meeting and workshop to showcase their beautiful pieces of art.
Celeste McCall of Southlake, Texas is leading the workshop, which focused on painting white roses on Wednesday. The workshop and exhibit are being held at the Hampton Inn of Brownwood, located at 1103 Riverside Drive.
Students concentrate on their work while enjoying the company of friends and fellow artists. Many state that not only is china painting beautiful but it is also therapeutic.
Pieces are available for viewing which include subject matter from floral works to portraiture.
The group will also have an exhibit of their work open for public viewing which will continue through September 9th, opening at 9:00am each day at the Hampton Inn of Brownwood.
The current president of the CPTT is Millie Sayers of Abilene, Texas, and the program chairman is Sylvia Herring of Santa Anna, Texas.
China painting is an art form that dates back to ancient times. The paints used for china painting are mineral based in a powered form and are mixed with a facilitator that is typically oil based and of a very high quality. The paint is then applied with a brush to a piece of china or porcelain that has been glazed. When this piece is put into a kiln and fired at high temperatures, the glaze softens, the oil is burned away and the minerals remain. The glaze is then cooled and seals the color resulting in a permanent design on a glazed surface that cannot be washed off.

Political Rewind: Democrats Take the Stage
As we start a new week, it's always good to get caught up on state politics. Here's an easy guide to what happened last week.
Editor's Note: This article was created by aggregating news articles from Illinois Watchdog, formerly Illinois Statehouse News.
Week in Review: Democrats Take the Stage
SPRINGFIELD – Much of Illinois' political attention this week was focused on the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., where Gov. Pat Quinn addressed thousands of delegates and the nation on Tuesday, followed by Illinois' own President Barack Obama's address on Thursday.
Quinn takes stage at Democratic National Convention
Quinn called out Republicans for "smearing" Obama's record on welfare reform and other issues during a speech Tuesday evening at the party's national convention.
The theme of Quinn's speech was "facts are stubborn things," a quote he attributed to President John Adams. He disputed Republican assertions from the party's national convention a week earlier about Obama's record on Medicare and work requirements for welfare recipients, as well as his role in the closure of an auto plant in northern Illinois
"From day one, President Obama has told you where he stands, what he believes and what he is doing to make our middle class strong again," Quinn said during his speech. "America is moving forward under President Obama's leadership, and that's a fact. Now it's our job in the next nine weeks to make sure that the American people know the facts."
Quinn ended his address with one his familiar and oft-used lines from back home, as he invited Americans to vote for Obama this fall.
"…and together let's make the will of the people the law of the land," he said.
Several Illinois elected officials, including Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, Attorney General Lisa Madigan, and various state senators and representatives, could be seen in the crowd during the nationally televised parts of the convention.
Visit watchdog.org for extensive coverage of both the Republican and Democratic national conventions.
Prison closures, inmate transfers on hold
The governor's plan to move inmates and close several correctional facilities throughout the state is on hold for now after a judge on Tuesday granted a labor union's request for a temporary restraining order.
The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees sought the restraining order, claiming Quinn failed to negotiate the closures with correctional officers and other prison workers, as required by their union contract. The union wants the closures halted until the differences are worked out.
Alexander County Circuit Judge Charles Cavaness, ruling from Cairo at the far southern tip of Illinois, granted the union's request. The next hearings on the matter are set for the week of Sept. 24.
Quinn's initial plan was to close several facilities throughout the state and consolidate inmates by Aug. 31. The closures now are on hold indefinitely until the legal matters are worked out.
Slated for closure are the Tamms "super max" prison in Alexander County in far southern Illinois and the Dwight women's prison about 80 miles southwest of Chicago; adult transition centers in Joliet, Decatur, Chicago andCarbondale; and the Illinois Youth Center in Murphysboro.
Kelly Kraft, Quinn's communications director, said the state has empty, half-full, outdated and expensive taxpayer-funded correctional facilities.
"… It is disappointing that progress to make Illinois a better place and to put its financial house in order continues to be halted," she said.
Illinois congressmen making the grade on attendance
When it comes to attendance, Illinois' congressional delegation earns above-average marks.
Of the state's 19 U.S. representatives, only Democrats Bobby Rush of District 1 and Luis Gutierrez of District 4 have missed more than 10 percent of roll-call votes during their time in office, according to the latest figures from Govtrack.us, which tracks federal legislation and lawmaker votes inCongress.
Both have been in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1993, and more than 13,000 votes were taken during that time. Rush missed 1,760 of them, and Gutierrez, 1,548.
The median for missed votes among congressional lawmakers is 2.4 percent, according to Govtrack.us.
U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-District 14, who joined Congress in January 2011, has the best record, missing only four of 1,503 votes during his tenure.
U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert, R-District 13, has been in office since 1999 and has the second-best record, missing only 68 of 9,679 votes.
But attendance and missed votes don't tell the full story about a congressman's performance, according to one Illinois political observer.
"You count what you can. But for the average voter who's maybe not very engaged, they're going to be looking for these kinds of cues that give them some sense of how effective somebody is," said longtime Illinois political observer Kent Redfield. "Whether they take it seriously and, for better or worse, whether they miss a lot of roll calls are measures."
All of Illinois' seats in the U.S. House of Representatives — 18 in all after losing one in the redistricting process — are up for grabs in November.
Illinois still No. 1 for most units of local government
Illinois taxpayers continue to pay for more local units of government — nearly 7,000 — than any other state, according to new figures from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Illinois has 6,968 units of local government, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's preliminary 2012 Census of Governments, released last week. Considering the state's population of 12.8 million, that means there's one governmental body for about every 1,800 residents.
That includes municipalities, townships, library districts, school districts, park districts, water and sanitary districts, mosquito-abatement districts, airport and transit authorities, hospital boards, tax-increment-financing districts — all of which provide services for Illinois taxpayers.
"You could go to a local government meeting every day of the week and still not be able to make all the meetings," said Brian Costin, director of government reform for the right-leaning think tank the Illinois Policy Institute. "I think that's something where citizens get discouraged. They say, 'I can't keep up on everything that's going on, so I'm just not going to participate.'"
Illinois leaves No. 2 Pennsylvania in the dust by more than 2,000. The Keystone State has 4,905 units of local government.
The cons of having so many local governments – the cost, the redundancy and the lack of transparency – far outweigh the pros, Costin said. In fact, he said, there really is only one pro.
"They're good if you want to be employed as a politician," he said.

Read the following link for unbiased views of the "Movie 2016."
I personally don't want to go back to the Bush GOP era, what with the recession, government debt and two wars. Does "Weapons of Mass Destruction" mean anything? With the GOP trying to get Obama out of office from day one (Mitch McConnell) instead of working together, it makes it difficult to say the least. We need to move FORWARD, not go back to the disaster the Republicans left us in.

Well, one thing is for certain--we, as a country, are not better off now than we were three and a half years ago: the median income is $51,000 down from almost $56,000, the cost of a gallon of gasoline is substantially higher, the percentage of people unemployed is higher than then, the national debt is higher than it has ever been and there is no real relief in sight. The course we are on is absolutely not working.
2:51 pm on Monday, September 10, 2012
Steve, you are correct because it takes more time!!! It takes time to fix what is the biggest mess ever left to a president since the great depression. And your right, it has to change. And I believe it will. I am just one person, but my 401k is better now than 4 years ago. My interest rate on my house is at 3.5% which is lower than what my parents had from 1970. We are a very impatient people. Thanks
Edward Andrysiak
5:08 pm on Monday, September 10, 2012
Paul...you say "we are a very impatient people" and to a degree that is true. I will give you the fact that this President walked into a difficult situation when he took office and there is much more than Bush to blame considering the Dems had complete control of Congress for four year...two with Bush and two with Obama.
No, we are not COMPLETELY impatient. We are a bright and fast thinking people who can recognize very quickly when someone is working too hard, and too long, on the wrong things leaving us with a possible very,very slow fix. Think of this economy as a major surgery...open the patient up and work hard and fast to remedy the situation because if you dawdle too long...the patient will die. Obama is a skilled talker and not a skilled surgeon! So, in our example, we love him but recognize he needs to be replaced least we waste another four years. We are going broke...that is like dying, financially! It's time for a new Leader who could certainly do no worst. Four more years is a long time to waste!
8:10 am on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Edward I agree to some degree with your comments, but I don't think Romney will be the answer with the republicans wanting to eliminate all collective bargaining and Romneys past practice of outsourcing jobs, bringing this country to minimum wage standards. I may be wrong but i don't believe any candidate could turn this situation around in one term. This country is on life support and the power is fading, maybe some divine power will smile on us and give us hope again.
DG Guy
8:30 am on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
The republicans have NOT come out against all collective bargaining. In Wisconsin they came out against public sector unions. FDR (a semi-famous Democrat) was also against them.
Romney did not outsource jobs. CNN and other reputable news outlets have repeatedly labeled that claim as false. Yet here you are still spouting that nonsense. Bain outsourced some jobs after Romney left. They also created thousands of jobs at places like Butler Steele and saved thousands of jobs at Staples and Sports Authority.
9:12 am on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
To those that say Obama was handed the biggest mess on planet Earth, ever, I say this:
His excuse that he needs more time is nonsense. Firstly, he volunteered for the job as President. When he ran, he knew how bad things were, as did anyone who was paying attention at the time. Yet he PROMISED he could solve the problems in a couple of years, and showed charts to prove it.
Did he lie to us then? Was he so inexperienced he did not recognize the depth of the problem? If he didn't recognize it then, why does he see things more clearly now? Was his lack of leadership experience and management capability the reason the couldn't get the job done? Were his plans awful? Why didn't he prioritize his work to be the economy, and instead messed around with other issues? Why were so many stimulus dollars wasted on boondoggles benefiting his friends? Shovel ready - HA! Why did he not work with the Democratically controlled Congress in the first year? Why did the voters reject his plans in 2010?
He asked to be President in 2008, and we gave him a chance. He has done nothing to significantly improve things, and offers nothing other than a tax increase ($62B a year when we run $1.2T deficits, how's that help?).

Here are the job numbers the media is not reporting about the August job numbers that just came out. This is what the media is telling you...and it's true. "The unemployment rate dropped from 8.3% to 8.1%. 96,000 jobs created in August."
Here are numbers they are NOT telling you:
1) 368,000 people STOPPED looking for work in August. Meaning they CANNOT be counted as unemployed. These people have no more unemployment benefits to claim and have realized there are zero jobs out there for them. If you were to re-calculate those numbers and include the people who are no longer looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 12%. This number does not include the UNDEREMPLOYED, or the people who have stopped looking for work over the past 3 years; that number would be an astonishing 23%.
2) 69% of men are working. Meaning 31% are not. The lowest % of working men since the 1940's.
3) The number of employed Americans is at the lowest number in the past 31 years. An incredible number considering there are more people now in the USA than there were in 1981.
4) A record high of 88,921,000 Americans whom are not in the civilian labor force.
5) Manufacturers have cut the most jobs in August than at anytime in the past two years.
6) The supposed "job growth" each month is LESS THAN the number of people LEAVING the workforce every month. People leaving the work force CANNOT be counted as unemployed.
If you need a job, VOTE Romney/ Ryan, it's that simple.

Romney/Ryan - yet another Bush/Cheney/McCain combo. wasn't it Bush that said "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, you don't get fooled again" - movies ? hey I got one too - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ufa-q7DcWM . Deregulation is no solution, and neither is shipping piles of jobs [BAIN] overseas - set a tax on offshored jobs, and if a company moves out of the country, set an import tax on their products. Have big corp pay taxes. Cinch. I miss Eisenhower and Reagan. To paraphrase Reagan : The nine most terrifying words in the English language are "I'm from big business and I'm here to help"
5:00 pm on Friday, September 14, 2012
Old John, Reagan said " I'm from the govt and i am here to help" not big business.

Stores are falling over themselves this holiday season to lure shoppers in with deals like matching online prices, extending layaways, and even making their own tablets.
What that means for shoppers is likely the best season of discounts in years.
This week, cheap-chic retailer Target announced it will match online prices at competitors Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and Toysrus.com. Earlier, Best Buy and Toys R Us also said they would match online prices of Amazon, Wal-Mart and Sears. This year, Toys R Us is even launching its own iPad competitor for kids: Tabeo.
Why the mad rush to offer incentives for holiday shoppers even before Halloween this year?
Store owners don't want to be caught flat footed like last year, when Americans turned up in throngs on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. But then, shoppers stayed away for days, only to return for big doorbuster deals.
Retailers are also wary that the slow economic recovery and high gas prices will make Americans less willing to open their wallets freely this holiday season.
The National Retail Federation said that people are also worried about the upcoming "fiscal cliff," the struggling jobs market and weak income growth. Another distraction that could keep people from shopping early is the upcoming Presidential election.
"These deals are coming early and often because the economy still hasn't completely turned around," said Sheri Petras, chief executive officer of CFI Group, a market research firm.
The NRF has predicted that holiday sales will rise by 4.1%, which is slower than the 5.6% increase last year. Even gift giving among the wealthiest Americans is expected to decrease 3.4% this year, a study from American Express Publishing and the Harrison Group showed.
To combat these fears, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and Kmart also began rolling out lay away plans and cutting fees earlier than usual this year, hoping to lock in customers before they shop at competitors.

Gap Premium Jeans – Value Goods?
The Shoptometrist decided to review the recently launched denim line from The Gap, 1969 Premium Denim, and we offered to supply a men's perspective. She was gracious enough to post our experience here, which you can also find below, and she also has the women's review on her site.
Now, to be fair, most (ok, all) of the jeans I currently wear are relatively skinny in nature. Not the super skin tight rocker jeans, but definitely far from any "boot" or "relaxed" cuts you'll see at most outlets. But I decided to sample three different cuts at the Gap: Standard, Authentic, and Straight. Skinny isn't under the Premium line, and it also isn't under $60, so I didn't try it.
- Standard: My first thought when buttoning these up was "Wow, I haven't worn anything this baggy since 'Nam". But they were comfy. So much so that I could definitely see myself sporting these in the great outdoors. While I can't imagine wearing them around the city, these would be a great pair of jeans to scrape up in some rough brush or scuff with grass stains. They were noticeably roomier in the crotch, which was a welcome change, and besides a little ballooning just below the waist, they fell comfortably down the rest of the body. Verdict: 3.5/5.0.
- Authentic: Again, this pair took a few minutes to grow on me (metaphorically). I realized that these would make a classy, more formal pair of jeans to be worn out on a nice evening. The crotch area was tighter, as most men are probably used to in recent years, but it felt strange because the rest of the pants weren't as equally close-fitting. I think with just slightly less fabric in the leg opening, we'd have a great fitting pair of jeans here. Verdict: 4.0/5.0
- Straight: According to the Gap, the only difference between the Authentic and Straight is that the Authentic is slim through the leg, while the Straight is… straight. It's somewhat ironic that the Straight is named so, since it gave my lower body a more hourglass-shaped figure. I felt these were too sloppy-looking to be worn for fancier occasions, but their loose fit definitely won't make them many fans in the fashionable crowd. Verdict: 2.0/5.0.
I didn't end up purchasing any, but I also went in with no intention of purchasing any. If I had to choose one, I would have chosen the Standard because it's what my wardrobe is most lacking right now, and inevitably slimmer jeans will fall out of style. Plus they had the best wash in my size. At $54.50, plus an instant $20 off, these are a pretty solid deal. However, if I'm in the market for some well-fitting, inexpensive jeans, I'm headed to 546 Broadway and picking up these babies in another color.

text: A week after Hurricane Isaac began knocking out power to most of the city, the head of Entergy New Orleans was on the hot seat today in front of the New Orleans City Council. Members of the Council stressed that Entergy failed to tell people what they needed to know in terms of how long to expect their power to be out, saying it made it impossible for residents to plan how they would deal with the outages. They pointed out "what appear to be failures by Entergy," in the words of Council President Stacy Head. Other top concerns included questions about pre-storm maintenance. Council members wondered out loud if Entergy has "hardened" the electrical system since Katrina and used money intended for repairs to make the needed upgrades. Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson focused on "investment in infrastructure." She was most worried about how profits compared with efforts to maintain the electrical grid. In response, Entergy New Orleans President and CEO Charles Rice said, "We are committed to restoring service quickly and safely." He insisted that he and Entergy employees "push ourselves safely to our limits." Rice thanked his employees and the workers who he said have left their homes and their families to get the power back on for the customers. "There is no such thing as an instantaneous restoration," Rice asserted. "We are the very best... the best in the business." The company leader responded to those who say Entergy has not done everything within its power to restore power as quickly as possible. "I know in my heart of hearts... that is simply not true." He acknowledged that they are not perfect, but detailed the awards Entergy has won year after year as an industry leader. Rice contended that after Entergy's actions are fully reviewed it will be clear that "our response to this storm was... outstanding." An expert hired by Entergy testified at the hearing that Hurricane Isaac actually hit the system for a much longer time than even Hurricane Katrina. "We had 54 hours of sustained winds over 39 miles per hour," Demographer Greg Rigamer told the council. "In Katrina we had equivalent winds for 21 hours." An Entergy customer service leader also said that the restoration felt longer this time because there was no evacuation... and people were home for the entire process, unlike Gustav and Katrina when most residents were away in a safe place as the work was beginning. When asked in the question and answer session, Entergy leaders said that the system was operable before the storm, and they went through a checklist of preparation. Councilwoman Cynthia Hedge Morrel asked if Entegy has reduced budget recently for tree trimming to prevent limbs from hitting wires. The Entergy panel indicated no one was aware of any budget cuts. Rice said part of the problem is that New Orleans has strict rules on tree trimming. "We can only prune back four feet... in other parts of the state we can prune back six to ten feet." When asked directly about the lack of information and approximate time for restoration provided to customers, Entergy responded by saying that their website was hard to interpret. Hedge-Morrell noted that people without power can't check the website anyway. "You really need to work now on getting a method for real time information to customers," she insisted. "We recognize that customers want information," Rice said. "That is something that we are definitely going to improve and that is definitely a lesson learned from this experience." He committed to getting more specific information on the radio in the future. Entergy also said that the website was not an accurate picture of if a specific home was powered or not at an exact time. "Get it right or get it off!" Clarkson demanded. Entergy issued a public apology and promised to "correct it moving forward." In response to repeated questions about how post-Katrina federal money was spent, Rice said the $200 million was used on a variety of costs. "Everyone here will recall Katrina was a catastrophic event.. some of that money was used to repair the system," he explained. Rice added that where they did replace equipment, "we did buy the highest rated equipment possible." Entergy committed to submitting a written report showing where and how the money was spent. The company also pledged to a report on when out of town crews were activated, instructed to drive in, and managed once they arrived. Entergy previously noted some bottlenecks and other issues with timing of arriving crews.

Max width of an icon font icon?
http://jsfiddle.net/TourKick/DSy5y/1/ demonstrates that word-wrap:break-word; does the trick with a long string of text.
However, if you use something like an icon font and set the font-size:2000px; (of the icon/span), it technically is 1 character, not a string of characters and so I'm curious how to say "I don't care if you WANT to be 2000px, you cannot be bigger than the container's width." (lol, I'm talking to icons... help me!)
Example with a 2000px icon font with word-wrap:break-word; taking no effect is here: http://pagelinestheme.staging.wpengine.com/icon-font-shortcode#demo
Thank you.
2000px icon font
Edge-use much?
Try fitText.js
Extreme example but looking to learn the principle still. Is it possible to control (purely with CSS)?
I can't see how....if you are using an icon-font...it needs to fit into a certain element which should be sized appropriately for it.
I am having trouble thinking of a reason NOT for this to be the case.
Maybe this will help you consider the value of "responsive icon font icons": 3 icons that are nice and big for large browser windows but don't scale when the window is resized: http://screencast.com/t/bVF2qcroK (short video)
The solution would be the same whether the icon's font-size is 300px or 2000px (or %, em, etc).
As far as I know, it's not possible (via LESS/CSS) because if you go to any webpage and change the font-size to 2000px, all the letters in that paragraph will wrap, but they'll also be wider than their container (e.g. a 2000px letter "W" is not going to stay within the 900px page width).
I haven't reviewed the video yet (on phone) but my initial thought is 'Shouldn't one choose an icon font that scales UP'?
I guess what I'm saying is' mobile first?'
An icon over say 24px seems unnecessary.
Looked at the video...without sound it doesn't mean much to me.
Frankly, aren't media queries the answer?
Just an idea, browser support will be crappy, but take a look at viewport relative units.
Something like
font-size: 100vmin
could do the trick

While we have been shifting uncontrollably in our seats during this international break, itching for the return of Premier League football. But at least the international break has provided us with several unique boot spots, as we have seen one or two stars constantly and out of their some new boots and some interesting customised boots. Take a look at what caught our eye this week.
Neymar (Brazil) – Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII
Could Neymar's honeymoon period with the Nike GS be over? While the Brazilian hotshot has been the only Nike-sponsored athlete allowed to wear the eco-friendly Nike GS, we spotted him in the old 'Clash' colour way Mercurial Vapor VIII this weekend as Brazil took on South Africa. Considering most of the 'hype' over the GS has now moved along, Nike may have told Neymar to start promoting the regular Vapors over the concept boot.
Mesut Ozil (Germany) – adidas miCoach F50 adiZero
It has been one of the bigger boot switch stories we have seen this year, but the 'will he won't he' situation regarding Ozil took another turn as it has been revealed that Ozil knocked back a €20m contract extension with Nike. It will be interesting to see what Ozil eventually settles with, but he took the whiteout miCoach F50 adiZero for its first competitive game on the weekend as Germany took on the Faroe Islands.
Mohamed Ahmad (UAE) – Nike GS
It seems there are several professional footballers besides Neymar who have managed to get their hands on the Nike GS. While we saw Sunderland star debut his own Nike GS boots in the boot spotting from last week, Mohamed Ahmad of the UAE has also been able to get the boot that is limited to only 2012 pairs. We wonder how many other athletes we are going to see making the ultimate football fashion statement by wearing the Nike GS.
Luis Ramires (Peru) – adidas miCoach F50 adiZero
When the Lionel Messi special edition miCoach F50 adiZero was first released, it was originally released just for the Barcelona superstar. It has not stopped quite a few athletes getting the Silver/Infared colour way for themselves like Luis Ramires. However, we have not seen many athletes within Europe wearing the boots, it seems athletes outside of Europe are buying up their pairs of the UCL themed miCoach F50 adiZero.
Shane O'Neil (Colorado Rapids) – Pele Sports Trinity 3E
The Pele Sports Trinity is probably the boot that everyone wants to try, but ends passing up the opportunity to properly use the boot. The strange stud configuration only drives people's curiosity of the boot, but Shane O'Neil has been one of the brave few in wearing the ultra light Trinity 3E. The new Trinity 3E is ever so slightly different to the original Black/Neon Yellow colour way, with measures taken to make the boot more durable with the new model.
Marcelo (Brazil) – adidas miCoach F50 adiZero
Mesut Ozil is not the only Real Madrid footballer who may be making a move from the Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII to an adidas football boot. Marcelo has also been seen wearing whiteout miCoach F50 adiZeros in the last training session before Real Madrid broke for the international break, and he brought out the boots for Brazil against South Africa, with the boots also sporting some blue laces that we think look really good on the clean whiteout adiZero.
Mike Havenaar (Japan) – adidas Predator LZ (Custom)
While footballers customising the soleplates on their boots is not overly uncommon, Mike Havenaar has customised the sole plate on his Predator LZs, but we cannot work out what he has actually done to the soleplate of his boots. The original Predator LZ launch colour way comes with a blue soleplate, but Havenaar strangely has a white soleplate on his boots. We are not too sure whether this could be an exclusive thing done to LZs sold in Japan, but it is something we would love to clear up on.
Yuichi Komano (Japan) – Puma Para Mexico Lite?
It looks like a boot we all know and love, but there is something we cannot quite put our finger on when it comes to Yuichi Komano's Pumas. It looks a lot like the White/Red/Limoges Puma King, the strange studs suggests to us that it is not the regular version we see in Europe. We think that Komano could be wearing the Para Mexico Lite, but we do you guys know what Komano is wearing?
That is it for our boot spotting article this week, what did you see from the weekend football action? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

In order to solve Octacube, you must put the sub-cubes together in such a way that each side of the composite cube contains four of the same color dots. At the same time the inner dots, where they face each other, must be the same.

I really enjoy this puzzle. I don't know if 'gruelling' is a suitable description of difficulty, as I can solve this fairly consistently and fairly quickly. However, I did make a mental note of two colours (see picture) that were on adjacent sides. I have tried starting without that reference and it can be fun and frustrating getting most of the cubes in place, and then finding the last one doesn't fit the pattern. High replay factor. Well worth the price.

We can expect these kinds of alternatives to grow as the number of Windows 8 users inevitably increases with the replacement of old PCs with new store-bought systems. This thread is intended to serve as a "one-stop shopping" location for such choices so that you can try them out and see what works best for you.
I have prepared an initial list based on my research so far. Please post new ones that you're aware of or happen to run into in your Web travels, and I'll add them to the "master" list as we go along, so that people looking for alternatives don't have to wade through multiple pages of postings.
I propose five rules to guide this thread, which I ask the moderators to assist me in applying (especially #3):
- The listing must be a method (script, Registry tweak, etc.) or application that serves to recreate the Start Menu and/or the Start Button, and/or which enables the user to disable, bypass, or minimize exposure to the Metro Start Screen at bootup or thereafter.
- The procedure or application must be legal.
- Discussion of the relative merits of the Start Screen vs. the Start Menu is out of place here. There are other threads in this forum for that purpose.
- The procedure or application should be reported to work in the Windows 8 Release Preview at a minimum, and preferably in the RTM and retail versions of Windows 8.
- Proposed new listings should be accompanied by 1) a link to a Web page where readers can get the information necessary to make it work, or 2) a description of the method, complete enough to enable readers to put it into practice.
Please report dead links on this list so that we can clean it up. If you find methods or applications that simply copy or duplicate the way another listed method/application works, let us know. And let us know if you discover that a given method/application doesn't work, contains (or is) malware, or breaks something on your system. I have not personally tested all of these alternatives. Before using any of them, check to see if it's designed to work on your system's "bitness" (32- or 64-bit). USE THESE METHODS AND APPLICATIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
