How Spinal Alignment Can Help You Improve Your Sports Performance
Do you have trouble meeting your athletic goals despite hours of practice time? Skill isn't the only factor that affects your ability to run faster, throw a ball accurately or prevent the other team from scoring. A misaligned spine may compromise your range of motion, recovery time and flexibility, causing performance difficulties. Fortunately, spinal manipulations performed by your chiropractor can correct misalignments and help you excel at your favorite sport or activity.
6 Spinal Alignment Advantages
Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, and Michael Phelps understand the importance of spinal alignment on sports performance. They, like many other exceptional athletes, visit chiropractors regularly for treatments that help them naturally enhance their abilities. In fact, chiropractic treatment offers a medication-free way to improve your athletic abilities without any concerns about side effects.
When your spine is properly aligned, you'll enjoy these benefits:
- Fewer Injuries. Misalignments not only affect your spine but can also cause tightness in your muscles, ligaments, and tendons, increasing your risk of injury. Regular visits to your chiropractor will decrease misalignments, known as subluxations, and help you avoid aches, pains, and serious injuries.
- Better Balance. Correcting subluxations may also have a positive effect on your balance, improving your ability to make a save, avoid a fall if you stumble or perfect your balance beam routine. During spinal manipulation treatment, your chiropractor uses gentle, hands-on pressure to improve the alignment of the vertebrae in your back and neck.
- Improved Strength. Strength, an important factor in many sports, can decrease if you have a subluxation. The problem may affect your ability to grip or catch the ball, tackle opponents, run long distances or make key plays. Chiropractic provides a natural strength-boosting option. Brazilian researchers discovered that manipulating the vertebrae in the neck offered significant increases in strength. Judo athletes who received cervical (neck) spinal manipulation therapy improved their grip strength by 16 percent on the right side and 11 percent on the right side. Their results were published in the January 2012 issue of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.
- Quicker Healing Time. Correcting subluxations can also help you reduce healing time after an injury. Manipulations, electrical stimulation, ultrasound therapy, and other treatments decrease inflammation, ease spasms, enhance healing and improve the flow of blood and nutrients to the injured area.
- Faster Recovery Time. Sports take a toll on your body, no matter how diligently you stretch and warm-up before starting an activity. Without an adequate rest period following exertion, you may increase your risk of injury. When your spine is aligned properly, you may notice that it doesn't take quite as long to return to top form.
- More Flexibility. Spinal manipulation, massage, and other treatments loosen tight joints and muscles, in addition to improving spinal alignment. These treatments increase your range of motion, prevent the formation of scar tissue, and decrease stiffness caused by tight muscles and joints. Thanks to your visits to the chiropractor, you may find that it's easier to follow through when you swing a golf club or racquet or notice that you can stretch a little farther when making a diving catch.
- Enhanced Performance. You've probably noticed that your performance suffers if your back and neck hurt, your muscles are tight, or you have a throbbing headache. Fortunately, aches and pains due to subluxations won't prevent you from excelling when you make chiropractic therapy part of your training regimen. Treatments may also improve nerve function, improve your reaction time, and even help you breathe more deeply.
Would you like to enhance your sports ability with chiropractic treatment? We'll devise a comprehensive treatment plan that will help you improve your performance and strength and avoid injuries. Contact us to schedule your appointment.

The heads several of the world's most important central banks agreed at a conference on Wednesday that tighter monetary policy may be needed for longer than previously expected. The agreement among central bankers - including US Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell and European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde - on the need for higher rates put markets under pressure.
At an event in Sintra, Portugal, Lagarde and Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey both said they expect more interest rate hikes to come and Powell likewise did not rule out the possibility of two more consecutive moves by the Fed. The ECB and BoE continued to hike rates this last month, while the Fed chose to pause its rate hiking cycle to allow some time to observe the effects of its previous monetary policy decisions. A day earlier, strong US new homes sales and soaring consumer confidence suggested the world's largest economy is holding up despite the Fed's hawkish stance.
After making gains the day before, US stock markets closed with little change on Wednesday. The Dow Jones Industrial fell by 0.22% percent to 33,852.66 points. The market-wide S&P 500 lost 0.04%, to end at 4376.86 points. The technology-heavy Nasdaq 100 gained 0.12% to end the session at 14,964.58 points. A report from the Wall Street Journal that the US is considering restrictions to exporting chips to China pressured chipmakers on Wednesday. Nvidia closed down 1.81%.
Stock markets in the Asia-Pacific region also struggled to find a clear direction in early Thursday trading. The Shanghai Composite fell 0.1% while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 1.4%. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was essentially flat. Japan's Nikkei 225 gained 0.5% and South Korea's Kopsi slipped 0.2%.
In Europe, the forecast for German consumer confidence for July fell after eight straight months of improvement. Consumer confidence fell to -25.4 points in July from -24.4 points in June. Inflation, which is around 6%, is holding back consumers' purchasing decisions in Europe's largest economy, according to the GfK Consumer Sentiment Study. Germany's DAX finished Wednesday's session up 0.64%.

Reference regarding analysis history
If this analysis was made available to any issuers mentioned in the publication prior to its distribution or publication, no changes were made to the price or rating after the issuer's feedback. Important references for Liechtenstein can be found in articles 3 to 6 FinMV [Financial Analysis Market Abuse Ordinance], for Switzerland in the Swiss Bankers Association Directives on the Independence of Financial Research, and for Austria in section 48 BörseG [Stock Exchange Act], the Austrian analysis principles of the Österreichische Vereinigung für Finanzanalyse und Asset Management [Austrian Association for Financial Analysis and Asset Management, ÖVFA] and the Austrian Society of Investment Professionals (ASIP) and the Standard Compliance Code of the Austrian banking sector. A history of all ratings and recommendations is available at your LGT relationship manager.
Essential sources of information
Our analysts draw on publicly accessible information we consider to be reliable. For the compilation of the analysis, publications by domestic and foreign media and news services (e.g. Reuters, Bloomberg, VWD etc.), business publications, trade publications, statistics and rating agencies were used, together with information from the issuers of the analyzed securities – mainly via the Internet, but also in writing or by telephone. We also procure information from investment banks (sell-side research and primary research).
Reference regarding valuation rates
Unless otherwise stated or specified, the rates used in the analysis are normally the share prices provided by the news agencies Reuters and/or Bloomberg at the close of the stock exchange of the domestic market of the analyzed security or the relevant principal market of this security on the respective local stock exchange on the eve of the day of compilation.
Explanation of investment recommendations for stocks
We apply a "hybrid approach" (internal fundamental analysis combined with "theScreener", an external, purely quantitative analysis tool). TheScreener is based on purely quantitative, i.e. computable variables such as (but not exclusively restricted to) profit adjustments of the past few weeks, stock valuation in relation to historical performance and comparison groups, the technical trend, performance in relation to the market etc. The assessment of the equity analysts, which is largely based on a qualitative analysis, does not need to match with the one of theScreener. For the overall judgement the assessment of the equity analysts overrides the one of theScreener. LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. categorizes its analysis recommendations into five ratings: for a "Buy" recommendation we expect a relative outperformance compared with the sector. Only equities subjected to an internal fundamental analysis can be rated "Buy". The recommendation "Attractive" is used for equities exclusively ranked by theScreener without any internal fundamental analysis as "slightly positive" or "positive". A moderate relative outperformance versus the index is expected. For equities that we rate as "Hold" we expect a performance largely in line with the one of the sector. This can comprise both equities for which a fundamental analysis has been carried out as well as equities that theScreener ranks as "neutral" versus the index. The recommendation "Unattractive" is used for equities exclusively ranked by theScreener without any internal fundamental analysis as "slightly negative". A moderate relative underperformance versus the index is expected. By contrast, "Sell" recommendations are based on the expectation of a relative underperformance compared with the sector. This can comprise both equities for which we are recommending "Sell" for fundamental reasons as well as equities that theScreener ranks as "negative" versus the index. Therefore the ratings always reflect a relative consideration versus the sector and/or specified index. The risk assessment is based on the individual judgement of the analyst (e.g. we assume a "high" risk for illiquid shares, highly indebted companies or shares from developing countries).
Reference regarding share valuation basis: The analysis compiled by LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. are essentially based on secondary research relating to fundamental and quantitative analysis. Generally accepted valuation methods (valuation multiples, return figures, sector comparisons, comparisons with past valuations etc.) are used for this. The forecasts for the quantitative analysis are prepared with the help of mathematical-statistical procedures (see statements above concerning the analysis tool "theScreener"). Economic indicators such as interest rates, currencies, commodity prices and assumptions relating to the economy are included in the overall assessment. The mood of the market also affects the company valuation. Moreover, many of the approaches are based on estimates and expectations that may change quickly and without warning, depending on developments specific to the industry. Therefore, the recommendations derived from the analysis can also change accordingly. The investment judgements generally refer to a period of 6 to 12 months. However, they are also subject to market conditions and represent a snapshot of the situation. They may be achieved more quickly or more slowly or be revised upwards or downwards.
Explanation of investment recommendations for bonds
We employ both qualitative and quantitative methods to derive our recommendations, which are to be seen as relative to sector/quality peers among comparable maturities. "Buy" and "Sell" recommendations demand a qualitative in-house analyst opinion, in which we incorporate both historical and projected financial results and credit metrics as well as past and anticipated company and sector-specific observations and trends. We recommend "Buy" for a security for which we expect a strong relative outperformance compared to sector/quality peers among comparable maturities. We recommend "Sell" if we expect strong relative underperformance compared to sector/quality peers among comparable maturities. The ratings "Attractive", "Hold" and "Unattractive" can be based purely on a quantitative approach, which includes the market price of credit risk, valuation of equities and associated instruments, corporate leverage, liability structure, size, and agency rating. We recommend "Attractive" for a security for which we expect a relative outperformance compared to sector/quality peers among comparable maturities. We recommend "Hold" if we expect an average performance compared to sector/quality peers among comparable maturities. We recommend "Unattractive" if we expect a relative underperformance compared to sector/quality peers among comparable maturities.

Definition of rating categories of S&P and Moody's which are relevant for us:
AAA/Aaa: Borrower with highest credit quality. Default risk also virtually negligible over the longer term
AA/Aa: Safe investment, default risk virtually negligible but more difficult to assess in the longer term
A: Safe investment as long as no unforeseen events impair the overall economy or sector
BBB/Baa: Average investment. However, problems must be expected if the overall economy deteriorates
BB/Ba: Speculative investment. Defaults must be expected if the economic situation deteriorates
B: Highly speculative investment. Defaults are likely if the economic situation deteriorates

No guarantee is provided that the publications and information are up to date. Investment decisions should therefore always be made on the basis of the current prospectus and/or the complete documentation and publication of the third party/fund issuer (in particular the key investor information) and following consultation with an expert. This fund recommendation does not meet all the statutory requirements for guaranteeing the impartiality of financial research. The Swiss Bankers Association Directives on the Independence of Financial Research do not apply to this recommendation. It does not constitute financial analysis within the meaning of the Liechtenstein Ordinance on the Preparation of Financial Analysis according to the Law against Market Abuse in the Trading of Financial Instruments. LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. and/or its affiliated companies are not subject to any prohibition of trading prior to the publication of financial research with regard to the recommended funds. The research can form the basis for the investment decisions of LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. itself and/or those of its affiliated companies. It is possible that LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. and/or its affiliated companies might receive retrocessions from the issuers of the funds dealt with here.
All selected third-party funds are subjected to a thorough quantitative and qualitative analysis process prior to inclusion in the LGT FundGuide. Selected third-party funds are also subject to a continuous monitoring process. Austria: Investment decisions should only be made on the basis of the current KIID and valid prospectus following consultation with an expert.
Country-specific information
LGT funds: The current full prospectus, the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and the current annual and semi-annual reports can be obtained free of charge from the fund administrator and from the following addresses: Liechtenstein: LGT Bank Ltd., Herrengasse 12, FL-9490 Vaduz and as an electronic version at www.lafv.li; representative for Switzerland: LGT Capital Partners Ltd., Schützenstrasse 6, CH-8808 Pfäffikon; main distributor and paying agent for Switzerland: LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd., Lange Gasse 15, CH-4002 Basel; paying agent in Austria: Erste Bank der österreichischen Sparkassen AG, Am Belvedere 1, A-1010 Vienna.
This recommendation was prepared by LGT and not by an independent financial analysis department. Therefore this recommendation does not meet all the statutory requirements for guaranteeing the impartiality of financial research. The Swiss Bankers Association Directives on the Independence of Financial Research do not apply to this recommendation. Investments in structured products entail a wide range of risks. Investment decisions should therefore only be made on the basis of the valid prospectus or complete documentation following consultation with an expert. This does not constitute financial analysis within the meaning of the Liechtenstein Ordinance on the Preparation of Financial Analysis according to the Law against Market Abuse in the Trading of Financial Instruments.
Information about foreign currencies were produced by LGT Bank (Switzerland) Ltd. and not by an independent financial analysis department. Therefore, forecasts, observations and price information are subject to change at any time and there is no guarantee that the information is complete. Investment decisions should accordingly be made in consideration of the investor's personal risk tolerance and within the overall context of the portfolio. The Swiss Bankers Association Directives on the Independence of Financial Research do not apply to currency analysis. Such analyses do not constitute financial analysis within the meaning of the Liechtenstein Ordinance on the Preparation of Financial Analysis according to the Law against Market Abuse in the Trading of Financial Instruments.
To determine the LGT Sustainability Rating, the companies, countries and supranational organizations underlying the investment vehicles are assessed according to criteria defined by LGT with respect to the areas of environment (E), social issues (S) and corporate governance (G). Corporate and country-specific sustainability data (raw data) of external data providers feed into this rating. The LGT Sustainability Rating is a result based on criteria and calculation methods determined by LGT. It does not claim to be exhaustive, accurate or up to date. The LGT Sustainability Rating is not substantiated by LGT. Any liability of LGT is excluded. The LGT Sustainability Rating does not constitute advice, an offer, a solicitation or invitation to submit an offer; it is neither a basis for a decision nor a recommendation to buy or sell investment vehicles or other specific products, and does not constitute advertising for products or services. Advice from a qualified specialist before making an investment decision is recommended. Investments may be subject to fluctuations. A high LGT Sustainability Rating and a high ESG score do not guarantee a good or better performance of the investment vehicle or other products, in particular in comparison with an investment with a lower LGT Sustainability Rating. The LGT Sustainability Rating must be strictly separated from other analyses and assessments.
This investment proposal might contain US assets located in the USA (known as "US situs assets") which might trigger US inheritance tax consequences. This means, for example, that the estate of the decedent neither domiciled in the USA nor with US citizenship might become liable for tax payment to the US tax authority. Subject to a ceiling, non-US persons may enjoy tax exemptions and reductions if they are entitled to benefit from a double taxation agreement (DTA) which provides for such relief.

Sunsets are coming quicker each day. So as our days grow shorter, it also indicates there are precious few of them left in 2013. That means it's time to start on your marketing plan for 2014. We've done some homework to help you with the pesky, ever-changing social media landscape. Here are the top three social media trends to pay attention to in 2014.
Come on You Have to Do It
If you've been shirking the social media trend, it's probably time to do something. We're prognosticating that it's not going away any time soon. This doesn't mean you have to do it all (Facebook, Twitter, Path, MySpace (making a comeback in 2014), Pinterest, etc.) that trend is over. Amplify your other marketing efforts by incorporating a social media aspect. Stop treating it like a separate beast. Social media is part of the greater whole of your marketing plan. Side note: Social media plays an active role in helping to boost your organization's SEO.
Kodachrome, You Give Us Those Nice Bright Colors
This should be no surprise, but images get noticed. This has always been the case for any marketing medium, but new social media tools introduced in the past few years have changed the landscape of how images are consumed. Pinterest is working on shedding its females-only network as retailers continue to jump on board to add this—and other image based social media tools like Vine, Path and Instagram—to their marketing strategy.
Consumers Actually Click
Us consumers are a smart bunch so online advertising is working to outsmart us.
3 Social Media Trends for 2014 that Your Organization Should Care About
And it's beginning to work. Be on the lookout for ad retargeting, where ads can be placed on social sites based on your visits to other sites. And if you've been on Facebook recently you see a great example of native advertising, where promoted content is placed among your friends' food photos. While this type of advertising may seem creepy, it's an efficient way to spend your advertising dollars and consumers actually get content they're interested in—a win-win.
Always remember, all of these social media tools are rented space. They'll happily change on you at any time, and often do without notice. Keep your website the center of your online marketing strategy.

Between the Blu-Ray player, cable box, laptop, and everything else hooked up to your TV, your home theater situation is a mess. Here's how I rolled all those devices into one awesome media center—the media center of my dreams—for under $500.
Update: A lot of you have been asking for an update to this build, so we did a bit of research and found some currently in-production parts that should be very similar to the original build in this guide! We haven't tested this exact build ourselves, but it should work much the same as the original, and we've updated the rest of the guide with a few new suggestions.
What This Media Center Can Do
You can put together a home theater PC using just about anything: an old computer, a cheap nettop, an Apple TV, or even a $35 Raspberry Pi. However, if you really want to get the most out of your HTPC, building it yourself is the way to go.
We've tried a lot of different builds over the years, but not every build can handle everything you throw at it. This build will allow us to play virtually anything, including:
All of your ripped or downloaded movies, TV shows, and music
All of your DVD and Blu-Ray discs
Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime streaming, plus nearly any other streaming channel you can imagine like CBS, NBC, Bravo, MTV, Comedy Central, SyFy, USA, Revision3, TWiT, and many more (Unfortunately Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime are much more difficult than they used to be. See this article for more information.)
Video games from nearly any classic system, as well as some PC games
Part One: Choose Your Hardware
In order for my media center to accomplish everything I wanted, I've found that I needed a very specific set of hardware, since a lot of HTPC builds are too low-powered to handle things like video games or even Netflix. This build is powerful enough to handle nearly anything you throw at it, and at a very reasonable price. It won't necessarily play the latest games on ultra high settings, but you should be able to play them on lower settings pretty easily, and all your streaming video should run like a dream.
If you're already set on your hardware but still want to know how I set everything up, feel free to skip down to part two below. Otherwise, you're free to tweak certain aspects of the build to fit your needs, but here is what I recommend.
The CPU: AMD A4-5300 3.4Ghz, $60: This processor is not only inexpensive, but it's more than powerful enough to handle any tasks your home theater PC will throw at it. Plus, it has an AMD Radeon HD 7480D built in, which means it can even handle some games (like the emulators we're going to add in later). If you want to be able to play more modern PC games, you might need a separate video card, though—which will make the build louder and more expensive.
The Motherboard: ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+, $100: This tiny motherboard has support for 7.1 HD surround sound, HDMI out, and some nice features for managing the speed (and noise level) of your fans, which is great for keeping your home theater quiet.
The RAM: Corsair XMS 4GB DDR3-1600 Memory, $50: RAM prices have nearly doubled since our original incarnation of this guide, but we're still going with 4GB of Corsair RAM. It's high quality, and gives us enough memory to do the aforementioned gaming, since the built-in graphics chip uses your regular memory for video.
The Hard Drive: Western Digital WD Red 2TB, $89: We like Western Digital's Green drives Western Digital's Red drives because they're designed for speedy operation and ideal for network-attached storage or other multi-drive setups where reliability is king. 2TB should be enough to hold a ton of movies on your HTPC, but if you're storing them somewhere else—like your own home server or NAS—you can just get the cheaper 1TB model for your HTPC, or even a cheap SSD and stream them from that external storage.
The Case: APEX MI-008 Mini-ITX, $54: It's small, attractive, and has a few USB ports in the front for your gaming controllers. It doesn't come with any fans, which is great for silence, but if you feel like you want a bit more cooling, the side vent holes are perfectly sized to fit a couple of 80mm fans that you can buy separately (see below). It also comes with a power supply. It's a very tight fit, so make sure you use the hard drive mount on the side, as described in the case's instructions.
Of course, case choice is completely up to you. If you're uncomfortable with the small size, we also like the more expensive Silverstone Sugo Series (the same case we used in our original Hackintosh Mini build). If you want something that looks more at home in your media cabinet you might want these cases designed for home theater PCs. Just look at the reviews and make sure they'll fit a full size CPU cooler, and most Mini-ITX cases should work well. Make sure you include the cost of a power supply too, however, if your case doesn't come with one.
The Blu-Ray Drive: LG Blu-Ray and DVD Drive, $50: If you want to watch DVDs or Blu-Rays on your device (not just ripped and downloaded media), you'll want one of these. Of course, you could also get a regular DVD drive for $20, too.
The OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit, $100: Despite the popularity of Linux as a HTPC solution, Windows is the only OS that will give you true play-everything capabilities. Netflix, Blu-Ray, and video games are all significantly easier to get working on Windows compared to Linux. Windows 8 will set you back $100 off-the-shelf, but chances are you can find it for significantly cheaper elsewhere. And of course, if you prefer Windows 7, you can use it instead.
Total Cost: $493

Optional Hardware:
GELID 80mm Case Fan, $9: If you want a bit of extra cooling, an 80mm case fan will fit perfectly in the holes on the above APEX case. This one's cheap, quiet, and comes with a 4-pin connector that goes into your motherboard, so you can control its speed (and noise level).
A Remote Control (and an IR receiver) for couch-friendly TV watching. We've gone through all your different remote options before, so I won't get into it here. Check out our guide to HTPC remotes to find out which is best for you.
Some Xbox 360 Controllers for your video game needs. These are perfect because they have enough buttons to emulate nearly any video game controller, and they work out of the box in Windows. If you want to do a bit more work, you could convert an old NES gamepad for a nostalgic feel, or buy a cheap USB adapter for controllers you already have lying around, but those could involve other drivers and more hassle. If you want something wireless, you can also grab a few wireless 360 controllers for only $20 more.
A TV Tuner if you plan on recording cable or over-the-air TV. We won't address it much in this guide, but you can do it in XBMC, so if you want to, this will be a bit of added cost to your media center.
Once you've got all your hardware rounded up, it's time to put everything together. Check out our complete guide to building a computer from scratch if you're unfamiliar with the process, and check out this incredibly detailed build log from reader Jacob, who built a variation of this media center.
Part Two: Set Up Your Operating System
Again, we're going to be using Windows for this build, not Linux. It may cost a bit more, but Linux is more difficult when it comes to Netflix, Blu-Ray, and video games, so Windows is the best OS for that "play-anything" experience.
If your copy of Windows is a digital one, you'll want to burn it to a DVD or flash drive. Then, grab a spare keyboard and plug it into your media center. Turn it on, and press the Delete key as it starts up—this will bring you to the BIOS screen. Go to the "Boot" tab and make sure your CD drive or USB drive—whatever you're using to install Windows—is first in the boot order. Lastly, insert your Windows CD or thumb drive and go to "Exit", saving your changes. This will reboot you into the Windows installer, which should guide you through the process of installing your OS. When you're finished, reboot into the BIOS and set your hard drive as the first boot item.
When you're finished installing Windows, you'll need to install a few drivers. If your internet isn't working out of the box, install the LAN drivers from the CD that came with your motherboard first (if your internet works, just skip this step). Then, open up Internet Explorer and head to your motherboard's support page and head to the Driver section. Choose your OS (which should be Windows 8 64-bit, if you followed our build guide above) and download the following drivers:
AMD All-in-1 Driver
Realtek High Definition Audio Driver
VGA Driver
Unless you have a specific reason to install one of the other drivers, don't download them, because we won't need them. Once you've installed all these drivers and restarted, you'll need to tweak your graphics settings.
Right-click on the desktop and head to AMD VISION Engine Control Center. I found that on my TV, my desktop didn't fill up the whole screen, so I had to go to Desktops and Displays > Scaling Options and turn my Overscan setting up. You may also want to browse around the Control Center and see what other tweaks look best to you on your display. I found that I had to go through and turn off just about every setting I could.
Next, you'll want to adjust our fan speeds. Restart your computer and head back into the BIOS. Under the Fan Control tab, you'll see the speed of your CPU fan and, if you have one, your case fan. Here, you can adjust your target temperature for your CPU and Motherboard, as well as the target speeds of your fans. You may need to play around with this over time to find out what nets you the best balance between good temperatures and good noise levels, as everyone's home is different. I just turned my case fan all the way down so it keeps up good airflow, but doesn't make very much noise.
Lastly, bring up the Start menu and type in "Power Options". Click on the first result and click "Choose what the power buttons do" in the left sidebar. Change "When I press the power button" to "Sleep" in the dropdown menu. This means your computer will sleep instead of turn off completely, which makes it much quicker to start back up. It also means hitting the power button on your remote, if it supports the power function, will put it to sleep instead of shut it down.
Part Three: Set Up XBMC
Lastly, it's time to set up the central piece of this box: the media center software. We've shown you how to create a kickass, seamless media center with XBMC, so I won't go into a ton of detail here. Check out that guide to get your fully customized XBMC box up and running like a champ. Here are the things you'll want to know specific to this build, though.
First, download and install XBMC. Then, head to its installation folder—by default, that's C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC
, and right-click on the XBMC.exe program. Choose "Create Shortcut", then drag that shortcut into your %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
folder. This ensures that XBMC will start up automatically with your computer. You may also want to go to %APPDATA%\XBMC/Userdata
and add the following line to AdvancedSettings.xml
, under the first line:
This ensures XBMC will always start in full screen.
Next, open up XBMC and head to Settings > System > Video Output. Set your Display Mode to Full Screen if it isn't already, and check the "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" box. This will solve some video problems XBMC has in full screen mode.
Set Up Streaming and Video Game Add-Ons
Now, it's time to install all your add-ons. Our original XBMC guide should have everything you need to know about installing add-ons, but note that which add-ons you install will change over time. Most add-ons are not official, so things like Amazon or Hulu may break over time and require updates or an entirely new add-on to work. The best way to keep up is to search around the XBMC forums.
At the time of this writing, we recommend NetfliXBMC for Netflix, Bluecop's Hulu add-on for Hulu, and this add-on for Amazon Prime streaming. See this article for our streaming recommendations. If you want to set up video games, check out our feature on turning your XBMC media center into a video game console with Advanced Launcher. It has everything you need to know. Lastly, if you have a TV tuner and want to record live TV, check out our guide to setting up PVR support in XBMC.
Set Up Blu-Ray Playback
Lastly, if you want Blu-Ray playback, you have a few options. Our old Blu-Ray playing method doesn't work in the latest version of XBMC, so we're going to use a Blu-Ray playback suite to get the job done. Your Blu-Ray drive probably came with a program like PowerDVD or WinDVD, and you can use those to play Blu-Rays right from XBMC. All you need to do is head to %APPDATA%\XBMC\Userdata\
and create a new file named playercorefactory.xml
with the following code inside:
<playercorefactory> <players> <player name="Disc_Player" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true"> <filename>C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD9\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe</filename> <args>"{E:}"</args> <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc> <hideconsole>true</hideconsole> <warpcursor>none</warpcursor> </player> </players> <rules action="prepend"> <rule name="Blu-Ray" filename="D:\\.*" filetypes="bdmv" player="Disc_Player"/> </rules> </playercorefactory>
Change the filename="D:\\.*"
and "{E:}"
lines to correspond to the letter of your Blu-Ray drive, and change the C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD9\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe
to correspond to your Blu-Ray program of choice. For more info, see the XBMC Wiki entry for External Players—your config may differ depending on your hardware, Blu-Ray program, and other factors.
If you don't have a Blu-Ray capable program, or the one that came with your drive isn't working correctly, you have a few choices. We've rounded up some of our favorite Blu-Ray playback suites, but pretty much all of them will cost you money. AnyDVD HD, while the most expensive, is by far the easiest setup. You won't need to go through any of the above hassle. Just install it, run it at startup, and XBMC will automatically detect Blu-Ray discs and play them when you select "Play Disc" from your main menu.
There you have it. With the right build and the right software, you can unleash the full power of XBMC and put together a media center that plays anything your heart can desire, from streaming TV to modern video games and everything in between. Again, be sure to check out our complete guide to creating a media center with XBMC, as well as our guide to building a computer if you're unfamiliar with the process. When you're done, you'll never have to use those old DVD players, cable boxes, and other junk again.

Keeping our teeth their whitest is a lot harder than it sounds. With all the coffee, wine, smoking and other foods that have the ability to stain our teeth on a daily basis, even proper maintenance sometimes leaves them a little lackluster. Teeth whitening is an excellent way to restore the natural color of your teeth or even make them whiter than your natural color if you would like.
To accomplish the whitening of your teeth, we utilize a tray whitening system. This tray whitening system is completed in 2 steps. The first step is to make an impression of your teeth. With this impression, we'll craft you custom whitening trays that you can use over and over. Finally, you will take the whitening gel and put it in the gel for a short period of time over a period of a few days. This often results in a whiter smile of 4 - 8 shades!
Please contact us today to see if you are a candidate for this type of whitening.

For Me?
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
Sensitive Wreck Seeker Kate W. sent me an e-mail with the following message:
"I just wanted you to know that my heart boats for you. And not even the loud and obnoxious kind that overturns old men while they're fishing, but rather the put-put-put kind that's hard to steer. How's that for romance?"
Uh, a little more confusing than romantic, honestly, Kate.
Oh, wait! There's a photo:
Ahh, NOW I get it. And I'm touched, Kate, I really am. But not in the creepy, time-to-press-charges kind of way, but in the innocent, I-like-anyone-who-sends-me-cake kind of way.
Note: yes, technically that *is* an 'e', but at first glance it looks like an 'o', so I'm going with it. You should, too.

I don't understand how cake decorators can have such terrible icing-writing skills. Those words look like they were written by a 1st grader...and don't get me started on the whole "4 U" thing. I HATE that. Just write out the dang words!

Wow, you actually posted it! I'm so excited! Regarding my comments, I guess they make more sense when you see the original post I made in my blog: http://melydia.livejournal.com/486854.html (Okay, maybe it doesn't make any more sense there, but at least I can claim not to have started it.) :)

I was a cake decorator. My training was someone handing me an icing bag and then telling me that I was going to be the cake decorator from now on.
I am glad that no photographic evidence exists from those early days. - February 17, 2009 at 4:11 PM
- Jennifer said...
"I don't understand how cake decorators can have such terrible icing-writing skills."
I totally agree Sara.
If I wanted sloppy cake writing, I'd do it myself! (Or ask my 12 year old nephew to do it for me.)
I'm paying someone else to do it because I want it to look nice!
Oh well. If they didn't screw it up, we wouldn't have these lovely cakes to laugh at. - February 17, 2009 at 4:13 PM

From personal experience, writing on cake with icing is hard.. but it does look like and O

A funny thing: my handwriting on cakes is vastly superior to my handwriting on paper. I have very nice icing-writing, but hand me a pen/pencil, and you might as well forget about deciphering it.
And that is sooo an "o". - February 17, 2009 at 5:24 PM

Maybe the decorator was trying to stick with the medical theme and wrote it to look like a real doctor wrote it...maybe.

It actually says "My heant boats for you...."
So it could be a *brand* of boat, called a "heant" and someone is giving it to his beloved for Vaslentimes' Day. (then, the only thing missing is the apostrophe on "boat's" i.e. "My Heant boat's for you")
Don't be such a hater with all of the criticism, Jen! You're such a sweetheart, but sometimes you take it a little far. I really think my explanation could be the correct one.
...No, really..... - February 17, 2009 at 5:41 PM

Definately an O. And even if you don't get any training, that shouldn't keep you from practicing.
- February 17, 2009 at 7:11 PM
The writing is so bad I thought it said: 'My huge boobs 4 U' for a minute. Given the artfulness of the cake, it could have. It's so hard to read shuddering, sinister icing text sometimes.

Next Valentine's Day, I expect to see a cake that does say "My Heart Boats 4 U", with a little heart in a boat.
Not too little, or it might look like something else. - February 17, 2009 at 7:22 PM
I just have to point out that the EKG isn't correct, technically.
- February 17, 2009 at 7:42 PM
- Andrea said...
"E" or "O" issue aside, that EKG does NOT show a beating heart. As another commenter mentioned, it looks like atrial fibrillation, or, put another way, someone who didn't take the two seconds to google what an actual heart rhythym looks like.

I totally thought it said, "My heart boats 4 U."
- February 17, 2009 at 7:50 PM
- Special Sauce said...
Yeah, but "my heart's in afib, so somebody better load me up on AC's and put my cardiologist on call" just wouldn't fit on the cake...
(At least it wasn't V-tach, right?) - February 17, 2009 at 9:24 PM
- Glory von Hathor said...
Ah, the perfect cake for those who like to remind their paramour of their own mortality. And boats.
Also, previous posters are saying 'EKG'. Please do not tell me that in the US Cardio is spelt with a K... Surely not. Alongside '4 U', I think my little heant might get boaten at such liberties with language. - February 17, 2009 at 9:47 PM

I love this site. I was a professional cake decorator in a previous life. It really isn't that hard to write in icing.
My training was watching my mom (who had taken Wilton lessons) and getting a book out and following the directions to teach myself.
Now a UNION job as a cake decorator is much more demanding, they do the whole apprentice thing and everything so you really learn the craft, not like what the poor folks in the grocery store bakery experience. - February 17, 2009 at 11:25 PM

The Dr. iced this cake. He scribbled 'My Heart Beats 4 U' in prescription handwriting. snicker, snicker...or,he must have been drugged when icing.
- February 17, 2009 at 11:33 PM
Ah, it's the LOVE BOAT!

That was just funny...=D
I think the person who decorate that cake must learn more on how to decorate and write better than it does!!!=)
But i do like that presentation..
Love it.. - February 18, 2009 at 4:14 AM

It looks like an 'o' at second glance too!
- February 18, 2009 at 8:28 AM
and i thought i was the only one that was going to comment on that rhythm...
ps my word verification was "sunhos"
ohhhh yeah. - February 18, 2009 at 9:12 AM
well that explains the strange CCC on yesterday's post then - it's not Texas or Ohio, it's a heart boat.

I want to see a guest blog from Don who said "I was a cake decorator. My training was someone handing me an icing bag and then telling me that I was going to be the cake decorator from now on."
I'm in Canada and we say EKG and ECG both. I suspect the inventor was German and we just took the untranslated acronym with Kardiogram.
WV: ponsil - You might be on an EKG if you have your ponsils removed under general anesthetic. - February 18, 2009 at 3:19 PM
It should say my heart beats irregularly for you because that is not a very healthy looking wave pattern there.
- February 19, 2009 at 4:59 AM
yeah, that beat's not only irregular but it's missing a few parts...so I'm wondering how long that heart is going to be "boating" for this other person!
- February 19, 2009 at 10:54 AM
I just wanted to say hello, found you via Pophangover and I love your blog. I'll be back!

@Valerie -- great, UNION cake. Does it have that same crap-tastic flavor that GM and Dodge vehicles do?
Blah unions. You get paid what you're worth. - June 30, 2010 at 8:18 PM

What's a Wreck?
What's a Wreck?
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)

Where's the book?
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Ordering Info
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.

Quinoa Salad with Pears, Baby Spinach, Pecans + Maple Vinaigrette
And it makes a fabulous (beautiful!) Labor Day picnic offering for all your guests that shun gluten, dairy, eggs, and critters.
From the archives, in the nick of time...
If you're looking for a fresh idea to liven up your ho-hum salad plate, Sweetcakes, have I got a recipe for you. Light, vegan, and packed with protein, this is no ordinary bunny food. It's got quinoa. Studded with nutty, buttery chick peas and crunchy toasted pecans and succulent jewels of ripe, juicy pears. And did I mention, in a bowl licking maple vinaigrette?
In fact, this is a salad even salad haters would eat. You know, those stalwart gotta have my meat and potatoes aficionados who eschew anything leafy. Who snicker at fiber. And mock carrot sticks. The sort of individual who gets misty eyed for melted butter and bacon martinis. To said individuals, salad could never be anything but rabbit chow. But this lovely mélange of flavors just might pique their interest. The sheer luxurious deliciousness of these autumnal flavors might coax them into flirting with bunny food goodness. Just this once. Then- who knows what could happen? They might settle in, fork poised, all dubious and dreaming of rib eye. They might take a bite. And then another. And another. And before you can say blueberry pancakes on a stick- they might actually smack their lips and grin and hold out their empty plate for more.
And you.
You could smile back, sly and slow, as you reach for the serving spoon to comply with their new found desire.
And feed their craving.

Karina's Quinoa Salad Recipe with Pears, Baby Spinach and Chick Peas in a Maple Vinaigrette
Recipe originally published October 2010 by Karina Allrich.
Quinoa adds vegan protein and heft to simple green salads- perfect for lunch or a light supper. Use pears or apples in this recipe- either one will work.Ingredients:
1 cup organic quinoa
Sea salt
2 good handfuls of organic baby spinach leaves, washed, drained
1 large ripe pear, washed, stemmed and cored, cut into pieces
1/2 cup chilled chick peas, rinsed, drained
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
A handful of pecans, pan toasted and salted to taste
For the Maple Vinaigrette Dressing:
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons golden balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine sieve. Place the quinoa in a saucepan or a rice cooker. Add 2 cups fresh water, and a pinch of sea salt. Cover and cook on a low simmer until all the water is evaporated and the quinoa is tender- roughly 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and dump it into a large salad bowl.
Add the baby spinach, pear, chick peas, and chopped parsley to the quinoa and fluff.
Whisk together the vinaigrette, pour it over the quinoa salad and toss gently to coat. Season to taste with sea salt and ground pepper.
Just before serving, add the toasted pecans and lightly combine.
Makes four main course servings, six side dish servings.
Recipe Source: glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com
Here's my post How to Make Quinoa in a Rice Cooker, with more quinoa recipes.
If you are making this salad ahead of time, I suggest you make the quinoa, fluff, and add the dressing while it is warm. When it cools to room temperature, add in the spinach, chick peas and parsley; toss, cover and chill. Before serving add the pears, and toasted pecans. Taste test and add more seasoning if needed.
Some folks like a dab of Dijon mustard in their vinaigrette- I don't, especially lately. But if you love a mustard-y flavor spike, add a teaspoon of Dijon to the salad dressing. Just don't make it too strong- it may overpower the pears.
I prefer salads lightly dressed, Darling. If you find that your quinoa and spinach needs a bit more dressing, double the vinaigrette recipe.
