Remove Duplicate Songs, Find Similar MP3 Files, Save Valuable Disk Space with Audio Dedupe Music Manager 220.127.116.11
Finding similar songs and organizing audio files has never been easier. Version 22.214.171.124 of the popular duplicate mp3 finder Audio Dedupe is released and available for download.
There are plenty of new features and performance improvements in the latest Audio Dedupe relese. The latest version of Windows 8 is now fully supported.
This brand new release utilizes the new cache system that was introduced in our duplicate photo finder application recently and brings immense performance improvement. Searching for duplicate mp3 files can be more than 1000 (thousand) times faster when using the cache.
The filtering dialog now provides an option to exclude certain files based on different properties like type, location, size, date, name and more. This provides a lot more flexibility when searching for duplicate songs.
There is a new option in "Quick Check" – "Check All Except First in Group". A new option "Show warning if all files in a group are marked for deleting" provides a higher reliability and will warn if someone tries to delete all the copies of the same song.
Project loading times are optimized and now large projects will be loaded much faster. A new command-line -p option to save the project after scan is added.
There are quite some optimizations applied to the "Browse for folder" dialog. It now displays much faster and can navigate to a path that is pasted from the clipboard. There is also 'drag and drop' support available inside Audio Dedupe and you can drag your folder from Windows Explorer inside the application in order to include them in the scan.
There are plenty of other small bug fixes and improvements that you can find listed in the What's New section.

GE Healthcare
GE Healthcare Life Sciences
The heritage of GE Healthcare Life Sciences stretches back more than 250 years. Since then, our tools for biopharmaceutical manufacturing and life science research have had an impact on the lives of millions. James Whatman dedicated his life to the manufacture of high-quality paper. The Whatman filter was pivotal in chromatography work that led to the 1952 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Meanwhile, other filtration techniques led to the discovery of Sephadex. Who could have guessed that it would have been the springboard to so many innovations in the life sciences industry?
Today, most biopharmaceuticals are manufactured using products that can trace their heritage back to Sephadex. Since the beginning, Amersham products have led the way in biomolecular labeling, detection and imaging — enabling breakthroughs in science and medicine, such as the human genome project. GE Healthcare Life Sciences is committed to carrying on this tradition of innovation and developing tools that help scientists make a positive difference in our world.

OEF Summary, Oct. 27, 2009: Force Recovers Missing Crew, Aircraft in Afghanistan
Dispatches from the Front:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2009 -- International Security Assistance Force members today recovered the remains of three civilian crewmembers and the wreckage of an aircraft missing for two weeks in the rugged mountains of northeastern Afghanistan, military officials reported.
The crew was flying an Army C-12 Huron when they failed to return to Bagram Airfield after a routine mission early Oct. 13 above Afghanistan's Nuristan province.
Due to continued recovery efforts, officials said, information was not immediately released so as to not interfere with operations. Upon visible inspection of the site, the mission changed from search and rescue to search and recovery.
The incident is under investigation, though hostile action is not believed to be the cause of the crash, officials said.
Additionally, a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter en route to the recovery site Oct. 17 experienced a strong downdraft and performed a hard landing near the site. All crewmembers were rescued. On Oct. 21, the aircraft was stripped of its sensitive and usable parts, and destroyed in place Oct. 25. Mountainous terrain and elevation prevented aircraft recovery operations. Hostile action was not involved, officials said.
Elsewhere in Afghanistan, an Afghan and international security force killed several militants yesterday in Paktia province during an operation to pursue a suspected Haqqani terrorist bomb maker and his associates.
The Haqqani element is believed responsible for several homemade bomb attacks in the Khowst-Gardez Pass in southeastern Afghanistan.
Security forces coordinated an air strike on the enemy location based on intelligence that Haqqani militants were in transit outside Haqdad Kheyl village in Wuza Zadran district. A combined security force ground element searched the location, confirmed that militants were killed by the air strike and identified the sought-after Haqqani bomb maker among those killed.
During the search, the force also seized bomb-making components, small-arms weapons and communications gear.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS), in its newly released Commodity Manual, just delivered good news for anyone investing in commodities in 2013.
The report gives a bullish outlook in 2013 and 2014 for eight of 14 commodities it evaluated. Estimated two-year gains range from 3.05% to 17.3%.
Money Morning Global Resources Specialist Peter Krauth agrees most commodities will perform well. In fact, he projects even higher growth than Morgan Stanley's outlook.
"With central banks on their virtually uninterrupted fiat money-printing spree bound to continue for the next few years, hard assets remain a great place to be," Krauth says. "That being said, some commodities will undoubtedly do better than others."

Poorly thought out controls, long video ads, controls aren't as precise as they should be
Take a moment to think of some pretty popular multiplayer games on mobile and flash. A few that might come to mind are Agar.io and Snake.io. They're really basic and simple games at face value, but the hidden mechanics and deep mind games you have to...

DENVER (AP) J.J. Barea scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter while All-Star forward Kevin Love sat on the bench with a sprained finger, lifting the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 101-97 win over the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night.
The Timberwolves were playing for the second straight night, but fatigue hardly appeared to be a factor as they handed the Nuggets a rare home loss. Denver, on the other hand, looked lethargic two days after snapping the Los Angeles Clippers' 17-game winning streak. Kosta Koufos and Ty Lawson led the Nuggets with 16 points each.
The game went back and forth in the final quarter before Luke Ridnour gave the Timberwolves the lead for good on a 3-pointer with 2:43 remaining. Barea then followed with another 3 to cement the win.
But it might be a costly victory for the Timberwolves after Love departed with a sprained finger on his right hand in the third quarter. Love broke his right hand in October, missing the opening nine games of the season, and has struggled to get on track with his jumper ever since.
Love was sliding past a Nuggets player in the lane when he suddenly clutched at his hand and headed into the training room. Love had 12 points and 17 rebounds before departing. He later returned to the bench to watch.
The Pepsi Center hasn't been kind to Love, who sustained a mild concussion and neck strain after a hit to the head in a game against Denver last April.
It was a big night for the usually modest Andre Miller, who scored the 15,000th point of his career on a mid-range jumper in the first quarter. He became only the eighth player to reach that scoring plateau while also compiling 7,500 career assists. Oscar Robertson, Gary Payton, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Jason Kidd and Steve Nash also accomplished the feat.
In typical Miller fashion, the 36-year-old downplayed the approaching milestone before the game. Said Miller: ``A big individual accomplishment ... I try not to dwell on it. I never even thought about it. It's good to get it over with.''
Nuggets coach George Karl said he would put Miller in the ``top five in basketball'' and that having a player with Miller's vision ``is a blessing to a coach.''
Miller started the game in place of Lawson, who's still recovering from a strained left Achilles tendon. Lawson sat out Tuesday when the Nuggets beat the Clippers and has been bothered by tightness in the tendon for the past week.
The speedy point guard provided a spark off the bench against Minnesota - the first time in nearly two years that Lawson entered a game as a reserve.
The Timberwolves were without point guard Ricky Rubio, who has been dealing with back spasms and remained in Minnesota during the two-game swing through Utah and Denver. The team is being cautious with Rubio, who is coming back from a torn ACL in his left knee. Minnesota hopes to have Rubio back Saturday against Portland.
NOTES: The Timberwolves had six players score in double figures. Alexey Shved also had 17 points. ... Asked about the chances of the Denver Broncos making the Super Bowl, Karl said, ``I like them.'' ... Otis Day of ``Animal House'' fame sang at halftime. ... Miller finished with 10 assists.

I have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus on which I use ConnectBot to connect to servers over ssh.
I have also bought a Apple bluetooth keyboard that I am currently using with the phone - and everything seems to be working properly.
However I encounter some problems when it comes to some of the 'special' keys on the keyboard like Tab and Esc. Esc seems to be mapped to the 'back' key in Android. And Tab just doesn't seem to do what I want.
It's especially a problem when I'm editing files in vim and I try to exit insert mode... Then I am actually telling android to leave ConnectBot...
Any help is very much appreciated!

Census Non-Visible Features, 1995 - Michigan
- Description:
- This datalayer displays the non-visible features for the state. This layer contains various types of nonvisible lines used to maintain the topology in the Census TIGER database. Non-visible features are used to delimit tabulation entities, property areas, legal and administrative entities. The U.S. Census Bureau separately identifies non-visible boundaries only when they do not follow a visible feature such as a road, stream, or ridge line. The predominant Census Feature Class Codes (CFCC) in this layer are: F10 (Non-visible jurisdictional boundary of a legal or administrative entity); F23 (Closure extension to complete database topological closure between extremely close features - used to close small gaps between complete chains and create polygons to improve block labeling on cartographic products); F40 (Property line, non-visible boundary of either public or private lands, e.g., a park boundary); F71 (1980 statistical boundary); F72 (1990 statistical boundary; used to hold 1990 collection and tabulation census block boundaries not represented by existing physical features); F73 (Internal U.S. Census Bureau use) and F81 (School district boundary).

Perchloroethylene at Wilmington
This page last reviewed October 21, 2010
One of the important contributors to health risk from air pollution, perchloroethylene is a non-flammable, colorless, dense liquid at room temperature. Perchloroethylene vapors are irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract. It is also a central nervous system depressant. Chronic exposure to perchloroethylene may cause kidney, liver dysfunction, and neurological effects. California has determined under Assembly Bill 1807 and Proposition 65 that perchloroethylene is a cancer-causing compound. The Air Resources Board (ARB) has taken regulatory actions to reduce perchloroethylene emissions.
Perchloroethylene is a volatile organic hydrocarbon that is used as a solvent primarily in dry cleaning operations. Perchloroethylene is also used in degreasing operations, paints and coatings, adhesives, aerosols, specialty chemical production, printing inks, silicones, rug shampoos, and laboratory solvents. Stationary sources account for 82% of the statewide emissions. Volatilization from dry cleaned garments is the major indoor perchloroethylene source. There are no natural sources of perchloroethylene.
The Air Resources Board (ARB) adopted a perchloroethylene control measure in 1993 on dry cleaning facilities, which requires closed-loop machines used on dry cleaning operations and provides training to dry cleaning operators. The Air Resources Board (ARB) adopted another control measure in 2000 to eliminate the use of perchloroethylene in degreasers for automotive maintenance and repairing. In the 1990s, the ambient perchloroethylene level showed a steady downward trend, based on the statewide annual average. The 2000 statewide ambient perchloroethylene concentration was approximately 58% lower than that in 1990.
Ambient Monitoring Results
Ambient levels of perchloroethylene are routinely monitored at approximately twenty sites in the California air
toxics monitoring network. The statewide average concentration of perchloroethylene during 1998-2000 was 0.1 ppb
(parts per billion), based on values ranging from 0.005 ppb to 2.2 ppb. Relative to the statewide average, the
Los Angeles County region was 200% higher, with an average concentration of 0.30 ppb for the same time period.
The ambient monitoring results at Wilmington are provided here:
- A graph comparing the monthly summaries of perchloroethylene at the community with historical statewide and regional levels
- A table of summary statistics
- Raw data in Excel format
Cancer Risk
Cancer risk is the number of excess cancer cases among a million people if the people are exposed to levels of a toxic air pollutant over 70 years. Perchloroethylene represents approximately 2% of the potential cancer risk of the nine measured compounds, excluding diesel particulate matter. Perchloroethylene represents less than 1% of the potential cancer risk of the nine measured compounds and the estimated diesel particulate matter.

Go 2 Guy: Buhner still creating a whole lot of buzz
Is there a more recognizable bald head in Seattle than Jay Buhner's?
Even now, two seasons removed from his last season at Safeco Field, Buhner is an unmistakable presence wherever he goes.
The smile, the goatee, the memories of "Bad to the Bone" every time you see him.
Before Ichiro, he was the right fielder with the strong right arm, the one with the heart on his sleeve and pine tar on his pants.
Buhner was down and dirty, but he always came clean with everyone. As the outspoken leader in the Mariners' clubhouse, Buhner let you know where he stood.
Yesterday, Buhner signed autographs for two hours while 75 fans were given two tickets to a Mariners game for getting their heads shaved in another one of those Buhner Buzz Cut promotions.
This one was held outside of the newest G.I. Joe's at Northgate.
As a spokesman for the sports and auto store, Buhner gets his mug in newspapers and on billboards.
If this is G.I. Joe's, you can be certain he's the colonel.
Buhner is referred to as a "baseball legend" in the ads, which is stretching it by Hall of Fame standards.
But in many ways, to many fans, he really is. Outside of Edgar Martinez, is there a more-loved Mariner in franchise history?
"You're her favorite player," one mom said to Buhner.
"Oh, yeah, forever," the daughter said.
Delaney Lafond, 14, was star-struck.
"Ohmigod!" she said. "I've loved you for so long. Can I have a hug?"
"Sure," Buhner said, wrapping his arms around her.
Tudie Posner, 84, walked up to Buhner after walking out of a hospital not long ago.
"Six weeks ago, my mom was having colon surgery," Posner's son told Buhner.
"Continued great health to you, ma'am," Buhner said while shaking her hand.
Although his body gave out, his popularity is stronger than ever.
"Everybody relates well to Jay because he relates well to everybody," said reliever Norm Charlton, who also was signing autographs at G.I. Joe's. "He did things the right way. He's not a guy whose name is going to be plastered all over the place for getting a DUI or being involved with drugs.
"A mom and dad can say: 'There's a guy we want you to be like.' "
Buhner appreciates the adulation and humbly attributes most of it to fan familiarity based on his length of service here (14 years). But he recognizes there might be other factors, such as his work in raising money for Cystic Fibrosis and his straightforward approach.
"There's no gray," Buhner said. "I say what's on my mind, and I think people respect that."
So what's on his mind these days? About three fly-fishing trips in one. He leaves today for Nassau Bay, Texas, to see his parents and his goddaughter's graduation from high school.
Then a buddy is going to pick him up, and they're off on a Buhner bender, heading first to Page, Ariz., to fish at Lees Ferry. Then they're going to Montana to fly fish for five days.
"And then we'll go fishin' all the way back to Seattle," Buhner said.
"You're having an awful lot of fun," one of his fans said.
"That's what it's all about," he replied.
For work these days, Buhner has two part-time jobs with the Mariners as a roving instructor and broadcaster.
Neither will take him away from his three kids this summer. He's an outfield coach for 11-year-old Brielle's softball team. He's a first-base coach for 8-year-old Gunnar's team. His 9-year-old, Chase, does not play baseball but is into cartoon art.
"I try to make up for a little bit of lost time," Buhner said. "Like any other parent, I just want to be there for them. It's important for me, because I come from a really close family."
But if he could, Buhner, 39, still would be taking his cuts and roaming right field. Now he doesn't even chew tobacco anymore. He quit last week, listening to his daughter's advice, calling it "the hardest thing I've ever done."
Retiring must have been a close second. "I'd love to still be able to play," he said. "But it's not going to happen. You have to learn to live with it. I could still play a couple of games, but the third game would be a killer. I knew when to say when."
Some remnants remain. There is pine tar in the kids' batting cage outside of his Fall City home, which borders one of the holes at The Members Club at Aldarra.
"But they don't get it on their clothes," he said, laughing.
Buhner likes what he sees in his former team.
"Winning for them is an attitude," he said. "The more they keep winning, the more they will build confidence and get more and more swagger.
"They're finding a way to win instead of finding a way to lose. That's impressive."
Regarding the sizzling Martinez, Buhner said: "People don't understand. He got hurt and came right back. It's sick what he's doing."
Buhner also thinks Freddy Garcia will be fine.
"He's just lacking a little confidence right now," he said. "Once he gets it going, he'll be stellar."
As was Buhner. As is Buhner, still good to the bone.

'Marriage Equality Act' Vote Delayed in New York
State's Catholic Conference urges citizens to tell their senators to vote against the measure: 'It's too late for writing; it's too late for anything much other than calling and prayer.'
ALBANY, N.Y. (EWTN News/CNA) — New York state senators did not reach a conclusion about homosexual "marriage" as the Senate met before its summer recess on June 20.
"Every day that goes by and the bill does not pass is a good day, (but) we are realistic enough to know that this is a very serious danger," said Dennis Poust, New York
Catholic Conference director of communications in a June 20 interview with EWTN News.
The issue was delayed along with other topics, including rent control and property tax in New York, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, the Catholic Conference is doing its best to convince senators that the homosexual "marriage" bill is not a good idea for New York.
"It will likely be extended a couple of days. We will probably know what happens no later than Wednesday or Thursday," Poust predicted.
He believes that the bill is being "rammed through the Legislature for political reasons," a move that he described as the "ultimate in bad governing."
"There has been no public hearing, no public input of any kind. It's being rammed through — this radical, social change."
The bill could be harmful for the Republicans as well, even "politically suicidal."
Poust said that his office is "desperately trying" to tell Republican senators that people from their party define marriage "as it has always been known."
While senators discussed the issue, dozens of citizens gathered in the New York state Senate building to protest and pray against the legalization of same-sex "marriage." Many of the protesters carried signs and recited chants, led by Baptist ministers and Jewish clergy.
Poust said that New Yorkers can call their state senators and "plead with them not to undertake this radical social experiment."
"It's too late for writing; it's too late for anything much other than calling and prayer."
A large number of people from the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish communities are taking part in this call to prayer, he added.
At the same time, same-sex "marriage" supporters were also present at the Senate, led by the Empire State Pride Agenda.
On June 14, Gov. Andrew Cuomo presented the "Marriage Equality Act" to the state Legislature after a key Republican senator voiced support for it. Four Democrats who previously voted against same-sex "marriage" said on June 13 that they would support the bill.
But Poust remains hopeful that marriage would not be redefined by New York: "We know nothing is impossible with God."

Text Labeling Area Features
Shape objects accept labels in much the same way as point features. Simple shapes and shapes from imported shapefiles support labeling.
To Add Labels to Shapes:
- Choose the Select [s] tool and select a shape.
- Do one of the following:
- Right click the shape and choose 'New Label' from the contextual menu. A label is placed at the visual center of the shape.
- Choose Edit > Labels & Text > New Label from the main menu.
3. The label content will use attribute information if an intelligent label tag has been defined. Alternatively, double-click the label to type free-text.
HINT: Labels support multi-line text. Press Option-Return or Shift-Return on the keyboard to manually insert a line break.
HINT: Special shapes, such as regular polygons and rounded-rectangles, and area features created from paths, such as irregular polygon, must be converted to shapes before they will accept a label. Choose Graphic > Convert To > Shape from the main menu, or right-click the object and choose 'Convert To Shape' from the object's contextual menu.
To Use Just-Right Positioning of Area Feature Labels:
By default, labels are placed in the visual center of area features. The visual center provides for best placement when an area is irregular shaped. For example, the geometric center for Scotland is in water, the visually center places the label more where you would expect it.
- Using the Select [s] tool, drag a label around the feature to move it. Labels subtly shift into ten standard click positions similar to labels on point features – eight positions around the shape, the geometric center point, and the visual center (which may be very close or the same as the geometric center).
- Rotate a label by dragging its rotation handle. Hold the Shift-key while rotating to snap the angle to 15-degree increments.
- To have full placement control while moving a label, hold the Shift-key and drag the label into the desired position. Like labeling other object types, it is easy to style a label then copy and paste it onto other objects. When a label is copied and pasted to other objects, its positioning, content, and text style properties are maintained.
HINT: Depending on a map's scale, areas can represent point-like objects such as cities or islands. Move the label into an outside position in these cases.
To Spread (Tracking) Labels Across Area Features:
Text can be spread out across and area (called "tracking").
- Choose the Select [s] tool and select the label text for editing.
- Do one of the following:
- Hold the Option-Control keys and repeatedly press the right-Arrow (end) key to widen (loosen) the spread, or the left-Arrow key to tighten the spread.
- Choose Text > Kern > Loosen (or Tighten) from the main menu.
3. Repeat as necessary to get the desired spread.
HINT: Text > Kern > Loosen (or Tighten) is also used to add or delete space (or "kerning") between two or more selected glyphs.
To Place Curved Text Across Area Features
To create curved text for objects that span large areas, use the Text On Path [e] tool. Alternatively, you can convert a label to text on path with the following steps.
- Place a label on a shape.
- Do one of the following:
- Right-click the label and choose 'Detach From Feature' from the contextual menu. Note, the label will be completely detached from the feature and its attributes.
- Select the label(s) and choose Edit > Labels & Text > Detach From Feature in the main menu.
3. Select and convert the text to 'text on a path' by right-clicking and choosing 'Convert to > Text On Path' or choose Graphic > Convert To > Text On Path from the main menu.
4. Move the text path end points and curve handles into proper position.
5. Text alignment should be "justified" to spread text across the path. As necessary, do one of the following:
- Double-click the text for editing and click the 'Justified' text alignment icon in the format bar.
- Choose Text > Justify from the main menu.
- Open the Object Inspector's Features pane and click the 'Justified' text alignment icon.
To Make Label Text Bigger, Smaller, Bold, Italic, Underline:
- Place a label on a shape.
- Select the text label.
- Do one of the following:
- Open the Fonts palette and modify the text properties
- Choose various Text > properties in the main menu.
- Use shortcut keys to quickly modify label text properties. For example, Command- – and Command- = quickly make label text smaller or bigger.
- Double-click the text for editing and choose text properties form the format bar.

New comments from Verizon indicate the carrier will introduce tiered data pricing (similar to the moves made by AT&T earlier this month) when they move to 4G LTE later this year. Verizon has been testing LTE in Boston plus several other markets and hopes to have 100 million people covered by the end of 2010. The carrier should offer several LTE modems this year and launch a LTE handset in 2011. Verizon maintains that their LTE network will be able to produce average download speeds of 5-12 Mbps and upload speeds of 2-5 Mbps. The carrier expects an "explosions in data traffic" over wireless networks as more customers move to smartphones. Only 17 percent of Verizon customers currently use a smartphone, but that number is expected to increase to 70 to 80 percent "over time". Current Verizon smartphone customers are using up 600 to 800 megabytes of data per month and that is expected to grow with the increased bandwidth that LTE offers and new smartphone hardware features like front-facing cameras. "We will probably need to change the design of our pricing where it will not be totally unlimited, flat rate." John KillianCFO Verizon Sprint is the only carrier to offer truly unlimited data with the EVO 4G and its required $10 premium data add-on, while T-Mobile has eliminated overage charges for unlimited data plans and throttles speeds when customers surpass 5 GB.

Being away from blogosphere, feels like being away from my friends and family. In this interim time, I have managed to be in touch with my writing and have many thoughts to be shared on this space.
I still remember my initial days on WordPress – when knowing every new blog & the blogger behind was such a magical experience! I'd be agog to receive a like or a comment on my posts and it would make me elated beyond limits 😀 It made me believe that we are all connected by an invisible bond of friendship and the human touch in all forms of interaction is something that is invincible.
Returning back to writing on my blog, feels like homecoming. As Charles Dickens has very eloquently said :
I relish every bit of this homecoming. To my wonderful blogging family – I have missed you all !
Hugs & Love ❤

Dan + Shay are people pleasers, in a good way.
Fans have been requesting acoustic versions of their smash hits, ''Tequilla' + 'Speechless' since the album released on June 22nd, 2018. On January 9th, the "From The Ground Up" singers obliged the ask and delivered.
What they shared was even more special than fans expected.
"we noticed a lot of you wanting an acoustic version of speechless for weddings, so we recorded one. and we recorded tequila. since speechless is #1 at country radio, and tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of tequila, we thought midnight might be a good time to drop both," they shared on Twitter.
Dan + Shay in concert is unlike anything country fans have experienced. This duo's high energy, onstage electricity pulsates through the crowd. Dan Smyers is a force of his own, touching every point on the stage, sweat-soaked, and lively. Shay Mooney is a powerhouse with presence and creates unmatched vocal runs that leave fans covered in goosebumps.
Its 90 minutes of pulsating energy.
Tickets for Dan + Shay's spring 'THE TOUR' concert dates have sold out, however, you can still catch them on the road in 2019. Teaming up with another beloved country duo, Dan + Shay will be joining Florida Georgia Line on their 36-date 'Can't Say I Aint Country Tour.' Tickets for the 'Can't Say I Ain't Country Tour' go on sale on Jan. 25.

End of NHL Lockout Bittersweet for Carrie Underwood
At least one person is saddened by the end of the NHL lockout. When games resume later this month, Carrie Underwood will lose her favorite traveling companion. The labor dispute provided extra time for the singer and her husband Mike Fisher to vacation and just be man and wife -- a luxury not afforded to them often. Upon hearing the news, Underwood took to Twitter to bemoan the NHL season's start (in good fun of course).
"Well, folks, hockey is back! Very bittersweet...I just lost my purse holder but gained cheering on my hot husband as he kicks butt! #GoPreds," Underwood joked. Fisher has been spotted many times with his wife's purse tucked under his arm at country music-related red carpet events, where she is the obvious star.
Fisher plays for the Nashville Predators, the team with the third best record in the Western Conference last season. However, they were knocked out of the playoffs in the conference semi-finals by the Phoenix Coyotes.
Underwood will get a little more time with her man before her career takes them away from one another. Her Blown Away Tour doesn't resume until Feb. 13 in Colorado Springs, Colo. She tours pretty heavily through May before wrapping up for some time off in the summer. The singer begins her own playoff this week, squaring off against Little Big Town in the inaugural Taste of Country Bowl.

Why Does My Boyfriend Only Want Sex a Few Times A Week?
Dear Evan,
I have a problem with my boyfriend and our sex life.
I want sex more often than he does. I have never had this problem before in other relationships and it's starting to make me feel rejected.
We have sex two or three times a week, but the other day I wanted it again in the morning (we had it the night previously) and I came onto him and he pushed me away saying he had just been in the shower.
I've always been told I'm attractive and have never had any problems with men before so I don't know why now. We've only been going out for about 7 months and in the beginning (before we slept together) he was really eager, but a couple of months down the line it's all slowed down. He's even told me I'm the best sex he's ever had so what's going wrong? I don't know how to handle it.
Dear Sarah,
I get this question as much as any other question. Except for maybe the "He's just not that into me" question, which takes on many forms.
But I haven't tried to tackle it until now, because I wasn't sure what I wanted to say. I'm no Dan Savage/Sari Locker/Dr. Ruth sexologist. I'm just a dating coach who's dated a lot and spends 90% of his waking hours talking about dating, sex and relationships. So take what I say with a grain of salt.
You didn't say how old you are, Sarah, and that's relevant to the conversation. Because a man's sex drive — and testosterone level – is highest when he's 18, and a woman peaks in her late 30's. (If I'm off, forgive me.) What this means is that as our hormones slow down, we meet up with women who've never wanted it more. You can see how this can cause a problem.
You're equating his sex drive with his attraction to you, and they're not entirely correlated.
Instead of taking his lack of desire personally, I'd take it to heart when he says you're the best he's ever had. But that doesn't necessarily mean he's going to want to have sex as much as you. You're equating his sex drive with his attraction to you, and they're not entirely correlated.
Plus, one's sex drive is highly individualized. For many, sex is best when it's exciting and new. Once you've been together for seven months, the attraction may still be there, but the excitement may not be. This is why some men turn to porn, and others, to infidelity. Lust may be enough to start a relationship but, in and of itself, it's not enough to sustain a relationship. Are there some couples who have extraordinary sex lives? Sure. But there are many more who, after a long day at work, just want to go to sleep.
And that's another thing to consider — sex, done properly, is a lot of work. It's fun work, no doubt, but in order to do the proper foreplay and pleasing and switching positions and stamina thing, you need a lot of time and energy. And frankly, we don't always want to be all adrenalized and sweaty at 1am, especially if we have to wake up at 6:45am….
You might think these are all lame excuses — that true passion transcends time and energy — that real attraction never wanes and that the mere thought of your lover should get you excited. But that's not true. Not for everybody. In fact, there's a very crude adage that I heard once upon a time which made a strong impression on me:
"Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you a guy who's sick of fucking her."
It takes a lot of work to keep repeated sex with the same partner interesting; a lot of people aren't up for that kind of work.
I don't endorse the language, nor do I endorse the sentiment, but the underlying point rings true (for BOTH sexes). It takes a lot of work to keep repeated sex with the same partner interesting; a lot of people aren't up for that kind of work. This doesn't mean you should despair — nor does it mean that your boyfriend's not interested in sex. From this guy's standpoint — 2 to 3 times a week is a decent sex life. And if that's not satisfactory, you might need to consider alternative plans.
I wish you the best of luck.

Latest News
G&G Latest Rifles are coming soon! (2005-07-09)
Click the UMG photo above for exclusive pictures of our Pre-Launch Sample from G&G!
Hot new AEG rifles are on the way from G&G. The much sought-after UMP which has been seen in so many block-buster movies is finally here. We tested a prototype several months ago in G&G's labs and found the UMP (or UMG as G&G calls it) is very sturdy and has a great 2-phase cocking action that feels extremely realistic. Once cocked, the operator can adjust the hop-up dial which is located behind the dust-cover. The UMG also has a bolt lock function just like on the real-steel where the dust-cover remains locked open after you pull the cocking lever back. Once you are done adjusting the hop-up, you press a button on the receiver which then sends the dust cover sliding forward with a loud "clack". The UMG also boasts a large capacity 500+ round wind-up magazine as an optional item - though the stock gun will come with a low-cap magazine. Folding stock and threaded barrel for silencer attachment means this gun can be configured in a very tactical format. Slated for the end of July / early August, the UMG is sure to be a big hit since no other company makes one yet for airsoft. G&G has also assured us that the gearbox is brand-new and is thoroughly tested to avoid complications of their first generation gearboxes.
Our pre-production sample arrived at RedWolf offices in mid-July. Our tests have indicated better reliability and durability than earlier gearboxes in G&G's earlier AEG rifles. The gun is solid and rigid, though very light and easy to control. It uses nylon reinforced parts just like on the real-steel.
M14 SOC 16 / Wood Stock M14
Building on the successful M14, G&G is releasing the shorter and more tactical SOC 16 which is suited for smaller skirmishing areas for fast aiming. For M14 lovers who like the classic wood look, G&G is also releasing an imitiation wood stock version, as well as a genuine high quality walnut wood stock version slated for August!
... And a pipeline of other exciting models
Yes, G&G has an entire pipeline of new models due out for this year and the early part of 2006! Stay tuned to this space for more information on other exciting models that don't yet exist in airsoft!

While Linux probably isn't quite ready to be a operating system choice for gamers, Linux users who happen to want to game are in for a treat.
Recently released was a native client for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars which I have been having fun playing the last couple of days. Many people have been claiming it as a BF2 rip off (mostly BF2 players) however the gameplay itself is completely different even if there are quite a few similarities (plus BF wasn't the first game to implement its class system or vehicles, just one of the more memorable, also its something that UT2003 already did). Its a much faster passed game so there is very little waiting in a corner waiting for someone to come and capture a flag or running across the map for 5 min until you get to one, although a lot of the team play has been stripped down but this just makes it play more like a standard FPS which isn't bad, just different. There is a list of important to note differences for BF players here.
And out next month is Unreal Tournament 3 which is getting a native client, theres a Windows beta demo out and a Linux one on its way, when ETQW is mentioned people generally cry that UT3 is better, personally I'm going to buy both although its hard to tell from prerelease hype and a beta demo exactly how good a game is going to be. They both seem like great games, and since UT3 has both FPS and BF style gameplay it should be flexible enough to keep interest.
Source games such as Team Fortress 2 are working great under WINE with the same performance as under Windows (You might loose %5 but make up for it with lower lag, the advanced shaders can apparently be enabled with a setting if you want), with the whole Orange Box going for $50USD (About $56 AUD thanks to America ruining its economy). The latest version of Wine 0.9.47 runs Steam great, although I did run into a problem with purchasing Orange Box through PayPal since it opened PayPal in Firefox but then Firefox wouldn't execute the steam://paypal/return command, I was worried for a while that it was going to charge me without adding the game but PayPal showed no payment, I coped out and booted to a windows partition and brought it through there but its probably possible to manually pass the command with something like "wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/Steam.exe paypal/return" or set the protocol association in Firefox to run the command but I haven't looked at it too much. now I'm awaiting my TF2 and HL2E2 download, already beat Portal which was a fun game although a bit too short hoping there is a squeal in the not too distant future. Valve recently posted that job for a Linux games programmer and have already ported source to use OpenGL for the PS2 so we could see a native Linux client in the future.
EDIT: I just tried HL2:E2 seems to have some graphical problems with the shaders turning everything bright colours, running without them causes crashes however you can run with the game in DirectX 8 mode and loose some graphical detail, this is probably something that will be fixed fairly soon since it seems like a simple bug, they already fixed some similar problems with Portal.
EDIT2: Use wine 0.9.46 not 0.9.47 this works without the -dxlevel 80 flag, I had the same problem with TF2 that I did on HL2E2, works great with 0.9.46.
Wine's seems to have most of DirectX emulated, the main problem is a few minor bugs that crop up in games, such as the mouse cursor being stuck or leaving the window etc… Most of the bugs that are left are minor but make games unplayable and are often specific to only the one game. Unfortunately there are enough of these that most games don't run but its certainly getting there, presumably a lot of these are in the target for Wine 1.0
Wine is improving quite fast, probably faster than new specifications are being produced and with many games ensuring that DX9 is supported due to the slow adoption of DX10 and with the OpenGL 3.0 specification approaching release its might make implementing the DirectX>OpenGL wrapper a whole lot quicker since it seems to support many of the same features, we could see WINE running more games off the shelf than ones that don't within a few years.
Virtualization could also be another great way to run games under Linux but with %100 compatibility although requiring a copy of Windows, all that would be needed is a way to allow direct access to the video card, this can actually be done under Xen but requires a 2nd video card since the first one will be locked by the BIOS at boot. Alternatively a DirectX>OpenGL wrapper in the windows install could work, I hear this is how parallels works using the WINE one, but it might sacrifice some compatibility and speed. OpenGL can already run from a virtualized environment with VMGL, with this and WINE's DirectX it might even be possible already. Maybe some official support from nVidia/ATI would expedite things.
Theres some interesting history about WINE's DirectX implementation and information about a DirectX 10 implementation being underway here.

You can remove the Mac OS X version of Octoshape, (Article at Windows Secrets), by running the following command:
sudo rm -r /Users/*/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/octoshape
This will remove the program for all users on the system. To remove it for a specific user, replace the asterisk with the user name.

User Management
Flush DNS Cache
Pre Leopard: sudo lookupd -flushcache
Post Leopard: dscacheutil -flushcache
Configure the Network from the CLI
You can configure your network interfaces from the command line using the networksetup tool. This isn't quite the Unix way to do things, but I'm hoping Apple gets there eventually.
This allows you to change all(most?) of the settings you would find in the network preference pane. To permanently change the static IP address of a given system, run the following command:
# networksetup -listallnetworkservices
This command will list all your network ports. Why you have to call them by their name escapes me, but whatver.
Next, run the following command:
# networksetup -setmanual <network_service> <new_ip> <new_mask> <default_router>
The only funk above is the network_service item. This is really just the network adapter's name. So, to set an IP of 10.0.0.2 with a subnet of 255.0.0.0 and a default route of 10.0.0.1 on my MacBook Pro's ethernet address, I'd do the following:
# networksetup -setmanual Ethernet 10.0.0.2 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1
Note, you've gotta be root (or sudo it).
This **WILL** persist through reboots.

Leopard Tricks & Hints
So, it appears that there a lot of new looks in Leopard that people don't really like. I'm going to try and consolidate all of those here, with a fix for each. Please feel free to contribute!
Change Screen-Capture Save Location
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Documents/Screenshots
Disable Transparent Menu Bar
To disable, simply type the following at a prompt in terminal:
defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer 'EnvironmentVariables' -dict 'CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE' 1
To use time machine over a network share, simply open up a terminal window and type the following command, exactly as shown:
defaults com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
Now, when you have a network share mounted, you should see it as an option in the Time Machine setup options.
Time Machine Backup Interval
- sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 3600
Change 3600 to the new interval, in seconds.
Dock Glass/3D Undo
If you hate the new 3D crap that Apple has bestowed upon the dock, you can disable it and get, what I would term as, a pretty darn good compromise. Simply open your terminal and type the following commands:
# defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES # killall Dock
Alternatively, you can put your dock on the side, and automatically get this new appearance.
Replace Dock Glowing Dots
Get Round Corners
Original trick here: http://www.manytricks.com/displaperture/
- Download Displaperture 1.0.
Change Background Image at Startup
To change the startup background image, simply replace the JPG file at /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg.
Lock the Dock
There are multiple ways to lock the Dock in OS X Leopard. The first is to enable Parental controls on a given account, where you can enable/disable the ability of the user to 'Modify the Dock.' This requires a user not being an administrator, which can be a drag if you just want to keep from accidental deletions.
Method 1
The quickest method is to run the following command as the user who wants their dock locked:
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true
To make this apply, restart the dock with the following command:
osascript -e 'tell application "Dock" to quit'
To unlock the dock again, run the same command as above, replacing true with false:
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false
You'll need to run the command above to restart the dock for changes to take affect.
Method 2
If you've got a directory server, or are running the Server edition of Mac OS X, you can simply enable the dock locking feature in account preferences within the control panel.
Method 3
Use the dock locking application someone posted to a forum somewhere. Here's a compiled version: Dock Lock.app
HP Printers/All-In-Ones
Screen Savers
Click on the link below the thumbnail to download the screen saver.
Remote Control
Mac OS X has a pre-installed VNC application called Screen Sharing. You can use this application to connect to any machine running a VNC server.
To send Control-Alt-Delete to a windows machine, press Control-Alt-Command-Delete on your Mac. On my MacBook Pro, I had to add the Fn key, as well.

Zara Phillips competed in cross-country equestrian today at the Olympics. She had her very own Royal Cheering Section and she finished under the limit in front of her family fans which included Prince William and his Catherine, Prince Harry, Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, and Camilla too. (I'm watching gymnastics right now and I just turned my head away but could have sworn Will and Harry are there watching the men. Was I imagining that? Harry looked particularly anxious.)
Kate seemed super relaxed today. Not so... rigid and formal, even - gasp! - leaning back in her chair at one point to casually speak to someone behind her.
(Yes, Will and Harry are indeed at gymnastics and they just watched Team GB take silver! The two were totally fangirling in the stands. Also, Hot Harry might have a wicked sunburn.)

65th Annual Grand National Roadster Show Friday Coverage
Lots To See!
We're here at the 65th Annual Grand National Roadster Show at the Pomona Fairplex in Southern California and there is a lot to see. As soon as you walk in the show there are cars, trucks, vendors, hot dog stands, BBQ, live music, and fun for the whole family. People from all over have come to get a glimpse at some of the most famous cars in the country.
There is truly something for everyone at this show. Trucks are very much apart of the Grand National Roadster show and boy, did we find some good ones. Trucks like a 1956 Ford F-100 that is slammed to the ground, A candy red 1940 Ford, and Royal Purple's Chevrolet Panel truck.
For those that don't know, the show is overwhelming in the best way possible. If you haven't been to the Grand National Roadster Show, it's divided up into different buildings. Each building has different types of cars and trucks you can see. Although trucks may not be the main focus of the show, we found some cool rides in every single building that you can check out in the gallery below.
Stay tuned for more coverage to come and we hope to see you this weekend at the 65th Annual Grand National Roadster Show!

Investors Capital (ICH) plans to host a special event to help 100 of its financial advisors double their level of fees and commmissions in four years, the group said last Thursday. The workshop will take place June 3-4 in Wakefield, Mass., and is part of the independent broker-dealer's "2X" challenge.
"I am confident that we as a firm are capable of achieving great things," said President and CEO Tim Murphy (left), in a statement. "That's why I issued the 2X challenge. I not only want our advisors to double their individual production, I want Investors Capital as a firm to double its size over the next four years. I know we will succeed."
The 2X IN FOCUS workshop is set to be the first in a series of events to be held in 2013. It will be led by Ron Purvines, Investors Capital's top-producing advisor in 2012. (Purvines became affiliated with the IBD in September 2011, when he had about $1.7 million in yearly production and some $200 million in assets under management.)
"I asked Tim what can I do to help Investors Capital, what can I do to give back?" said Purvines, in a press release. "Together, we came up with the idea for this workshop, and I'm honored to be partnering with him to help my fellow advisors and my broker-dealer grow and succeed."
Purvines will outline the eight-step methodology he has used to become a million-dollar producer. He will focus on marketing, appointment setting, initial interviews, portfolio composition, implementation, servicing, client events and referrals.
"I owe my success to four main guiding principles within my practice: respect, return, retain, and referrals," explained Purvines, who is the founder and owner of Countrywide Estate Planning of Henderson, Nev. "Each of my eight steps fall into one of those four categories. I have found that being disciplined in the first three principles, the fourth principle happens naturally. These principles are simple and can work for any advisor."
As part of the workshop, participating advisors will have to complete a marketing plan, which will be tracked by Investors Capital home-office staff.
"We've built accountability into the program," said Robert Foney, chief marketing officer and vice president of practice management for Investors Capital, in a statement. "The key to successful coaching is accountability, and accountability is the key to achieving positive change."

Opening Celebration | Timothy Noble's Semi-Automatic Chalkboard
Friday, December 13, 2013, 5:30–7:30 pm
Timothy Noble's Semi-Automatic Chalkboard is an automated drawing machine that uses servo motors and open source software to render images on a chalkboard from an early twentieth century schoolhouse. The images being produced are interpretations of sketches by Charles E. Burchfield that were made in preparation for the oil painting Grain Elevators, 1932-38.
The drawings will be performed daily and erased before the next day's performance. Images will be rotated throughout the run of the exhibition. The work is both a performing automaton and a kinetic sculptural object. Many of the components that make up the actual device were created through the use of the technologies that the device employs.
This artwork could not have been built without the use of numerous open source software programs and the help of various individuals. The work was first shown in Western New York at Galeries NFS in 2012.
