How This Mac Addict Learned to Love Windows
I've been a long-time Mac user, from my childhood days playing with MacPaint on a Macintosh Plus (the beige and boxy Mac that debuted in 1986) to my current machine, a 13" MacBook Pro. But recently, I've been working more and more with a Windows PC—and I'm loving it.
I grew up on Macs, thanks to having a graphic designer for a dad. I can remember sitting in front of a black-and-white Macintosh Plus as a kid, playing with the spraypaint brush on MacPaint. Thankfully, my folks have upgraded to a modern iMac throughout the years. I have too, using a PowerBook G4 as my main machine in college, and working through my post-grad years on a MacBook Pro. There's a G5 desktop in my home office, and I've been through three iterations of the iPhone. Needless to say, I'm a hopeless Apple addict and I can't be stopped. I just can't put the Kool-Aid down.
That's not to say I've never used a PC before, though. Throughout my education and post-grad career, I've definitely done my share of work on Windows. It was always my perception that PCs can get the job done just fine, but I'd always choose Macs at home. The Apple OS features a few user-friendly features that made it easier for me to navigate, and I definitely preferred the physical design of a Mac machine to any PC I've seen.
Yet recently, I found myself falling in love with Windows.
Not too long ago, I began a new 9-to-5 gig in communications at a new company. I had to get used to a new desk, a new commute and—more fittingly—a new operating system. Windows 7.
Windows 7 has been unlike any version of Windows I've known before. At it's core, it looks the same, sure. But Windows 7 is riddled with a handful of cravable user-friendly features.
The Windows Taskbar, and I hate to make these sorts of comparisons, makes a PC more like a Mac with an adaptable "dock" for your open and "pinned" program icons. Jump lists are great, allowing you to access your most-used "links" by right-clicking program icons—instant access to everything from a webpage or document to a command like "compose a new message," depending on the program. And Snap! Oh, don't get me started on Snap. I use this daily, dragging open windows to opposite corners to watch them snap into perfect, full-screen twins. Snap is a total efficiency booster.
If you've been using Windows 7 for awhile—it was released back in tech-ancient 2009, after all—none of these features are news to you. But this post isn't supposed to be a review of a cool, new product. Instead, it's my hope that I might convince another life-long Mac user (of which I'm sure there are plenty reading Unplggd right now) to step out and give another OS a try, just in the same way that I've suggested my PC friends take a look at Apple's offerings. The Windows of today is not the Windows it was 10 (or even 5) years ago. And the hardware has stepped up considerably as well—just take one trip to a Microsoft Store near you and spend 10 minutes playing with a touchscreen PC.
Of course, Apple users might not decide to switch after all. I didn't.
I love being able to use Windows 7 at work. It does all that I need it to and more (and fast!), thanks in no small part to each of those features I mentioned above. But for now, I'll stick to my Macs at home. The seamless way everything in my life, from my iPhone to my Apple TV, are "wired" to work together is enough to get me to stay.
What about you? Are you a multi-OS person? Which do you like better? Have you made the switch from a life-long Windows user to a modern Mac head? Or are you a Mac baby like me who has made the move to PC? Tell us in the comments!

if you want the 'snap' of windows on your mac, install this simple little app, it's called cinch:
I feel exactly the same way. I use Windows 7 at work and it's been a pleasant experience. I've been delaying the upgrade of my macbook at home because I can't decide if I can keep justifying the extra expense. Windows 7 feels so much better than any Windows operating system of the past.
Having to use old windows XP at work is a chore for me. Windows 7 is just great. (not a mac user at all, just windows and occasionally ubuntu)
I work off a Windows 7 PC at work and I'm a die-hard mac user at home. The features you speak of such as pinning and snapping are very well implemented and quite productive.
But I still feel that Windows is stuck in file structure paths and command lines. It doesn't feel as 'draggable friendly' as a mac. And the Windows interface puts so much effort on glows and transparencies, while it should spend more time on screen real estate and menu designs.
Don't get me wrong, it's a solid OS - but even using buggy OS X Lion is a treat compared to using Windows 7 for work.
The only feature I miss on my Windows system that I don't have on my mac is being able to quickly delete files with the Delete key instead of dragging to the trash or using a key-combo press.
I got the window snap stuff through HyperDock on OS X. On the flip side, when I use Windows I go crazy without my spotlight and quick-preview. I often find myself pressing the spacebar expecting to peek at a file. DOH!
I have used Windows for years and just recently got Macs for home. I like the ability to escape work by having a different experience at home. I did bootcamp my MBP and added Win7, but I only use it on occasion. It is like having two computers available all the time (I run VMware fusion).
I tend to prefer Macs for home due to design, general ease of most basic tasks, and just flat out reliability. I can count the number of times my MBP has crashed on me in 3 years on one hand.
What makes windows quicker for work, for me, is about one thing: shortcuts! The more I can do without having to touch a mouse the faster I can get stuff done. Not that macs don't have them, but certainly not to the extent of windows and microsoft apps.

Milkshake Gold! Dvd Review & GIVEAWAY!!
Packaging Design © 2011 Abbey Home Media Group Ltd. All rights reserved. © Channel 5 Broadcasting Limited 2011. All characters ™ & © 2011.
Milkshake is a firm favourite in our house, we love the colourful combinations of such family favourites as Roary, Thomas and The Mr Men! The Dvd promises over 2hours of the best pre-school characters and as boredom busters go, this was superb! Boo particularly enjoyed the familiar faces of the Milkshake Presenters introducing the cartoons. I loved seeing 'Harry and his Bucket full of Dinosaurs' and explain about Dinosaurs to Boo, although I realise my knowledge about them is distinctly lacking! There are also several 'extras' on the DVD, of which Boo's favourite was the 'Roary Rev Up' - he loves cars so this was inevitable!
We're planning a trip abroad towards the end of the year, and the Milkshake Gold Dvd will definitely be coming with us as a familiar treat to watch while we're away! There is so much variety that it will keep everyone entertained (I almost feel I should insert the photo of Mr G watching the Dvd avidly while off work poorly but I had best not!)
The DVD features: Little Princess, Roary The Racing Car, Bert & Ernie, Fifi and the Flowertots, Mio Mao, Mr Men, Igam Ogam, Castle Farm, Harry and His Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, Hana's Helpline, Bananas in Pyjamas, The Adventures of Bottletop Bill, Olivia, Thomas & Friends.

The following steps must be completed the same day:
Outdoor pools must remain empty to cure for 3 full days, indoor pools for a minimum of 5 full days.
Method 2 - Hand Sanding
Hand sand the gel coat being careful not to miss anywhere, use an angle grinder with 24 grit sanding pads. A Dremel is useful for getting into the 90º angles and corners of the steps.
Outdoor pools must remain empty to cure for 3 full days, indoor pools for a minimum of 5 full days.
Call our office at 800-830-0501 to determine the exact amount of vinyl ester resin and swimming pool gel coat required for your pool, hot tub, sliding board, or baptistery.
The fiberglass containment (pool, hot tub, spa, etc.) must remain empty while the gel coat cures. Our gel coat dries quickly, so you won't need to worry about rain after it is dry. However, it does take between one and three hours to dry, so schedule the application accordingly.
Typical curing time is 3 days for outdoor pools and 5 days for indoor pools. Indoor pools should be ventilated during and after the application. After the surface has cured, fill the pool and that's it. It will look as good as the day it was brand new, and will not leak or stain for the next 12-20 years (depending upon number of gel coat coatings and chemical care).
Fibre-Shelkote™ gel coat is brilliant white, however it can be tinted to any of the colors shown on our color chart.
Always be careful when using an electric sanding device. You absolutely should wear a mask and safety goggles when sanding. Wear gloves when using gel coat, resin, and acetone. A chemical mask is recommended when applying chemicals outdoors, and a respirator mask is strongly recommended for indoor projects.
Never allow smoking anywhere near the pool during the application and (for indoor applications) during the curing period.

Roloko | 08-07-12, 8:42 PMMe too I hope the actual DVDs and Blu-rays are subbed since that seems to be the trend with Bandai/Sunrise's new releases since Unicorn
Stark700 | 08-07-12, 8:39 PMOk, thanks :>
Can't wait for the full subbed version to come out soon. Big fan of Code Geass here.
Roloko | 08-07-12, 8:32 PMYes it is very interesting just got finished with it.
Well sure I guess I looked at the video descriptions and it didn't say anything about not sharing so it should be ok. =D
Stark700 | 08-07-12, 8:29 PMAre those the beginning 10 minutes of the first OVA?
Also, do you mind if I post them into a thread on the Akito Discussion boards? (not in club)

Roloko | 07-16-12, 4:27 PMI was just saying since that Zero is executed then that means the real one (Lelouch) is currently living with Rolo at Ashford so that means there will be no Rolo in this.
Zero is just a symbol that anyone can so yeah Zero can still come out.
keiji09 | 07-16-12, 3:47 PMbut Zero(Lelouch) didnt die in R1 right?
means zero can come out?
Roloko | 07-16-12, 3:40 PMWell I guess this takes place between R1 and R2 since Zero is executed. I guess that means no Rolo since he is playing little bro now, but I got Yukiya so its all good.
I did see on livejournal that Suzaku and CC are rumored to appear in the second part.

KRONENWETTER, Wis. (WSAU) - The villages of Weston and Kronenwetter and the Town of Weston are joining together to fix their outdated zoning ordinances.
Many of the codes and laws on the books in the three municipalities are severely outdated or no longer in current use. The three communities have hired MDRoffers Consulting to overhaul their existing zoning ordinances. Kronenwetter community development director Randy Fifrick says some of their codes and laws date back to the 70's. "We've still got rules on the book for building phone booths, and I'm pretty sure no one's going to be making any more of those." Zoning rules tell the villages and community what's allowed to be built in each area of the village, from signage to roads to landscaping.
Fifrick says the joint project should help everyone involved. "Not only to help those who work in each municipality, but also area developers." Fifrick says some conformity in the coding for each community will help local builders and architects be sure their work is up to code no matter which side of the village line they're building on.
Work on the project has been continuing over the last six months between the municipalities. The next meeting of the joint board looking over the review will meet next month.

Condit de Canard: Levy/Condit Crosses the Atlantic
PARIS It's Martin Granted, This The But When I So Gore: My At This
– It really tickled me the other day when, from a friend's office,
I downloaded all the Condit news from America, and saw the way Texas Democratic
Rep. Max Sandlin had responded to a question about whether Condit should resign:
"I don't think that's my decision to make. That's a decision
for others to make." But Sandlin was being asked for an opinion, not
a decision. Can you imagine watching sports with such a guy? Your team is one
run down in the eighth, and you have a man on first with one out. You ask Max,
sitting next you on the couch, if he'd send the runner. "It would really
be inappropriate for me to say," Max replies, "as I'm neither the
baserunner nor the manager."
only in the last few days that the Gary Condit saga has blossomed into European
newsprint, and nobody here–not a single man-jack of a journalist–has
yet shown he understands it. Last week, Libération, the most left-wing
of the big French dailies, even construed DC police chief Charles Ramsey's
pronouncements that Condit is not a suspect to mean he's been cleared. Surely
there exists a French-English dictionary comprehensive enough to clue in the editors
of this paper that, in this context, "He is not a suspect" is broadly
synonymous with We want to take maximum advantage of his openness until we
arrest him.
Kettle of England's Guardian blames the U.S. press for the scandal.
"For a media which may have found itself missing the chemistry of a juicy
Washington scandal following the departure of Bill Clinton from the White House,"
Kettle writes, "the affair of the errant middle aged male politician and
an ebullient female former intern from California has been the answer to a collective
prayer." Leave aside the Guardian-ese ("may have," for instance,
which ought to appear in the Encyclopedia of Journalism under the entry "Weasel
Words"; or "male politician," which is a pearl of p.c. worth crossing
the Atlantic to harvest). It's preposterous to think that American journalists
in general can't see the distinction between prying into the details of an
office affair and gathering facts about a woman who has either been murdered or
(less likely) is at this very minute in a desperate situation.
some American journalistic outlets have not been able to draw that distinction.
But they err on the side of not covering the story. Take CBS, for example,
which as of midweek last week had hardly deigned to mention the story, and was
even rather chuffed up about itself for its reticence. Their reasoning is so subtle
that maybe you have to be in France to understand it. It's that (a) Yuh,
okay, maybe it's kind of important that the known mistress of a powerful
congressman has disappeared without a trace and murder is suspected, but (b) we
were really embarrassed about two years ago because we dug and dug and dug into
a silly office relationship the President had, and we never gave a thought to
the serious constitutional issues involved, because they didn't interest
us, so (c) we're going to stop investigating any kind of abuse of power–even
an all-but-alleged murder–any time the malefactor can claim we're just
interested in digging dirt on him. He who fucks, walks.
kind of perversity has its parallel in France, too, although it takes the form
of what right-wingers here increasingly call la francophobie française.
Anyone who still believes the French are a collection of self-loving, chauvinistic
Vive-la-France prats would learn a lot from the last week's French newspapers.
As the International Olympic Committee anguished in Moscow over whether to award
the 2008 Olympics to Paris or to Peking, Le Monde ran a front-page editorial
by one Francis Deron entitled "Olympic Games: Vote for Peking!" The
gist: Paris is the perfect place for the Olympics, with all the most modern athletic
facilities, a wealth of hotel rooms–and besides, it's a democracy, in
which people don't get tortured for mentioning that they're religious.
Therefore, it doesn't need the Olympics.
Europeans, in fact, are picking up the Condit story at precisely the moment where
Condit's role in it is becoming less and less ambiguous. If we grant, arguendo,
that Condit is not a murderer but merely one of the most selfish men who ever
lived, we can come up with a reason why he would have withheld information about
Chandra Levy that might have saved her life. It's that he's in love
with his political career, and he runs in a district where adultery is unforgivable.
once stewardess Anne Marie Smith revealed an affair with Condit that had continued
until a couple of months ago, and once her statements were verified by Condit's
driver, and once Chandra Levy's friends had told cops of Condit's secretiveness
about their relationship, and once Chandra's aunt Linda Zamsky had confirmed
virtually everything Smith and the friends and the driver had said–well,
then the adultery cat was totally out of the bag, and there was no longer any
constraint of the Machiavellian kind on Condit's truth-telling. So what kind
of constraint was there that kept Condit from helping police and the Levys
solve Chandra's disappearance and probable murder? Especially since the Levys'
attorney Billy Martin is right that "he of all people would know her state
of mind" at the time she disappeared.
Condit volunteered to submit to a DC police search of his apartment, the CNN footage
of which was seen all around the world, the cops let it be known that they wished
they had been permitted to turn the place upside down much earlier. And when Condit
agreed to submit to a lie-detector test, his lawyer Abbe Lowell behaved as if
the scandal at issue were still a matter of a sitting president trying to hide
the most intimate details of his love life from his political enemies. Lowell
tried to negotiate the police down to asking Condit just a limited range of questions–which
experts in such matters say renders the procedure useless. (And it turns out,
he got the result he wanted.)
have always assumed lie-detector tests were useless to begin with. What they measure
is not truth but stress. That is, they're based on the preconception that
liars are nervous and truth-tellers are confident, which I believe to be a very
erroneous preconception. But Condit doesn't think that. Since he appears
to believe lie-detector tests work, his attempt to narrow the scope of questioning
amounts to more stonewalling. This from a man who already appears likely to face

people are wrong to draw the Clinton comparison. Condit claims he hasn't
spoken thus far so he could keep the focus off of him and place it on "finding
Chandra." Now, "finding Chandra" may look like it serves
the same purpose that "doing the business the American people sent me here
to do" served for Clinton during Monicagate. But as the days pass, it's
beginning to look more like what "finding Nicole's real killers"
was to O.J.
La Fête Continue
visits to Paris, which aren't exactly frequent, have overlapped with Bill
Clinton's so many times that I'm beginning to feel like one of his staffers.
I just missed his last trip here, when, accompanied by James Carville, he gave
a speech on "War or Peace in the Middle East" to–no fooling–the
Paris Golf and Country Club. But I did hear an interesting story from someone
who saw him.
the funeral of Massachusetts Congressman Joe Moakley in June, Clinton and Al Gore
supposedly met for the first time since the aftermath of last year's election.
Marjorie Williams' big Vanity Fair piece about the star-crossed–to
put it kindly–Clinton-Gore relationship was on the minds of a lot of people
at the funeral, so some thought it was telling that Clinton and Gore were sitting,
not next to each other, but separated by House Minority Whip David Bonior. Since
front-row seats at funerals are usually figured out in advance, you'd think
such speculations were misplaced. But not in the case of Al Gore, where anything
that can go wrong usually does. What happened is that Gore arrived at the funeral
when it was already fairly packed, and saw he hadn't been put anywhere near
the front. So he pushed his way up and sat in the seat that Moakley's family
had reserved for Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, between Bonior and Ted Kennedy's
wife Victoria Reggie.
story is not a secret; The New York Times published an account of it in
the days after the funeral. But there was something about hearing the story from
a Clinton intimate–and knowing that Gore is the type of person his intimates
snicker about when they meet up after a long absence in foreign countries–that
added another dimension to what is already a many-splendored sad-sackery.

Mark Andrew Twitchell (born July 4, 1979) is a Canadian convicted of first degree murder in 2011 for killing John Brian "Johnny" Altinger.[2] His trial attracted substantial media attention because he was inspired by the Dexter Morgan character,[3] featured in Jeff Lindsay novels and the Dexter television series, a serial killer who works as a forensic bloodstain pattern analyst for the fictional Miami Metro Police Department.
Born in Edmonton, Alberta,[4] Twitchell was an aspiring filmmaker who dreamed of making blockbuster movies.[4] In September 2008, he shot a short horror film at a garage he rented in the south end of Edmonton.[4]
Arrest and trial[edit]
John Brian "Johnny" Altinger was a 38-year-old male who worked as an oilfield equipment manufacturer at the time of his disappearance.[5] On October 10, 2008, Altinger informed his friends that he was going to meet a woman he had been chatting with on the online dating website PlentyofFish.[6] His friends soon became concerned when they received strange emails from Altinger, explaining that he had met a woman who was taking him on a long vacation to Costa Rica.[6] Altinger's boss received a resignation letter by email, but never got a response to his request for a forwarding address for Altinger's final paycheque.[7]
After growing more and more suspicious, several of Altinger's friends broke into his condo only to find his passport, dirty dishes and no indication anything had been packed.[8] A homicide investigation was soon launched by the Edmonton Police Service.
Twitchell was arrested on October 31, 2008,[9] and charged with the first degree murder of Altinger on the same day.[1]
The key piece of evidence presented by the Crown at Twitchell's first degree murder trial was a document, entitled "SKConfessions"[10] where the SK stood for Serial Killer, which was recovered from Twitchell's laptop despite being deleted. The document begins with the passage:
"This story is based on true events. The names and events were altered slightly to protect the guilty. This is the story of my progression into becoming a serial killer."[10]
It goes on to describe in detail the author's extensive planning, failed first attempt, and successful second attempt at murdering a man by luring him to his garage using fake online dating profiles. It also describes the process of dismembering the victim's body and his numerous attempts to dispose of the remains. During his trial, Twitchell admitted to killing Altinger and authoring the document. However, he contended that he acted in self-defense and that much of the document was a fictionalization of the events. He claimed that the mindset of the narrator, which portrayed the killing as deliberate and intentional, was sensationalized in an attempt to make a more compelling novel.[8]
Attempted murder charge[edit]
|This section is outdated. (September 2012)
Twitchell, convicted of first degree murder in the online luring death of Johnny Altinger, still faced an attempted murder charge for his alleged attack on Gilles Tetreault.[11] Tetreault testified that he was lured off the website PlentyofFish expecting a date with a woman, only to be attacked by a man in a mask with a stun baton when he arrived at a garage rented by Twitchell. He was able to escape with his life. Crown prosecutors had not immediately decided if they would pursue the charge of attempted murder upon securing a conviction of first degree murder since a conviction of attempted murder would not add to the life sentence Twitchell had already received.[12]
On June 17, 2011, an attempted murder charge against convicted killer Mark Twitchell was stayed in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta. Crown prosecutors have one year to resurrect the charge.[13]
Media controversy[edit]
Extensive media coverage of the case created debate both inside and outside of the courtroom with observers arguing in favour and against the media reporting on "sensational" details of the crime.[14]
Prior to the criminal trial taking place, Crown prosecutors and the defense also sought vast publication bans and sealing orders over the police evidence, preventing the media from reporting on the details of the case until the jury would hear it during the future trial.[15] The media fought the application, but the judge eventually agreed to both a sealing order and publication ban, stating in his ruling that "there is a real risk that pretrial publicity will undermine the accused's constitutionally protected right to a fair trial."[15] The jury pool was then polled through a "challenge for cause" procedure to determine if a potential juror had been influenced by extensive media coverage prior to the publication bans taking effect.[15]
When the bans were lifted, a substantial media presence attended and reported on the trial, including American television programs Dateline NBC and 48 Hours.
After his first degree murder conviction, Twitchell used the extensive media coverage of his case as grounds for an appeal. He argued in his notice of appeal that "the media attention surrounding my case was so extensive, so blatant and so overtly sensationalized that it is unreasonable to expect any unsequestered jury to have remained uninfluenced by it, regardless of judges' instructions in the charge."[16] However, he then abandoned his appeal in 2012.[17]
In December 2012, Michael C. Hall, who plays Dexter Morgan on Dexter, was interviewed by Jian Ghomeshi on the Canadian radio show Q. Hall said he does not think Dexter supports the lifestyle of serial killers. "I would hope that people's appreciation was more than some sort of fetishization with the kill scenes," he said. Ghomeshi brought up Twitchell and Hall said, "I wouldn't stop making Dexter because someone was fascinated by it only in that way. I try to tell myself that their fixated nature would have done it one way or the other, but it seems that Dexter had something to do with it. It's horrifying."[18][19]
In May 2013, it was reported that Twitchell purchased a television for his prison cell. He stated that he has seen every Dexter episode that he missed since he was arrested and convicted of first degree murder.[20]
The Devil's Cinema, a non-fiction book about Twitchell's case and trial, was written by Steve Lillebuen and published in March 2012.

References: Psalm 63Summary: The prodigal's brother is an example of the wrong kind of obedience – even though he did everything his father said to do. We draw near to the Father in fellowship by preference-type obedience (fight desire with desire). The greatest kind of obedience (and the most joy-producing kind) is loving one another.
Series: Loving God With All Your Heart
It is not enough to learn true things about God.
It is not even enough to experience the benefits of His attributes. We must not be satisfied until our experience of each attribute has been profound enough to move our soul toward deeper love for God.
We must keep learning and experiencing what is so wonderful about each attribute until there is a response in our affections -sparks of actual joy, peace, delight, awe, fear of God, security, satisfaction of soul, comfort, courage, and all the other benefits
Scripture promises will come from the nearness of God's favorable presence. Each one of God's attributes is a single ray in the spectrum of the brilliant radiance of His glory. That glory is an ocean, and just one drop of that ocean, if you could just see it clearly, would be enough to delight your soul and occupy your faculties of praise for all eternity.
This book is a journal of how God has been opening my eyes the past few years to begin to see a glimpse of that drop.

Fred Thompson Accuses Obama of Biggest Cover-up in American History. Robert McCain has The Story…
Fred Thompson Makes News With Benghazi Comments at AFP Event
Posted on | November 1, 2012
BREAKING: RT @rsmccain: Fred Thompson Calls Benghazi 'Biggest Cover-Up in American History' spectator.org/blog/2012/11/0… …
It was weird: @ali and I were the only media in the room. I was nodding off until — BOOM! Fred makes news. spectator.org/blog/2012/11/0…
Fred Thompson speaks in West Chester, Ohio
BLUE ASH, Ohio
News happens in weird ways. While we were driving to today's Americans for Prosperity event in West Chester, Ali Akbar mentioned an article he'd just seen at Foreign Policy about the Benghazi attack. Meanwhile, CBS News was reporting that "during the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, the Obama Administration did not convene its top interagency counterterrorism resource: the Counterterrorism Security Group, (CSG)."
My mind wasn't on Benghazi much, and when we got there, the sleep shortage started catching up with me. Quite literally, I was nodding off at one point during Fred Thompson's speech. And then Fred started talking about Benghazi.
Never seen Fred Thompson this passionate. Never. He's livid at this administration over #Benghazi.
Yeah: Fred Thompson just made news. I'll have story as soon as I get to WiFi.
He never raised his voice, but he was clearly angry and, when it was over, it was obvious that Fred had definitely made news:
Former Sen. Fred Thompson today said he was "totally disgusted" by the Obama administration's handling of the Libya terrorist attack, saying that U.S. officials failed to act "while our people were being systematically slaughtered" at the Benghazi consulate.
Speaking at an event sponsored by the free-market group Americans for Prosperity, the former Republican senator from Tennessee invoked his experience nearly 40 years ago as a Watergate investigator, saying that Congress must "get to the bottom of" the administration's failures in the Sept. 11 incident that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead in Libya.
"This is probably the biggest cover-up in American history – and you're talking to an expert in cover-ups," Thompson said. . . .

Update (Smitty): thanks, Instapundit and Daley Gator!

Look! Organizing With Vintage Containers
Yesterday we wrote about organizing with vintage canisters, so today we thought we'd show a few ways that we use them around the house. We've always stored laundry quarters in a little dish - this one was my grandmother's. Click below for a few other ideas about how to use similar pieces...
My mom had this orange sugar bowl in our first house - I remember it from when I was a toddler. My husband hates it (it is pretty gaudy and seventies) but I've always loved the color.
We store kosher salt in the ramekin (not vintage) and use a Thomas Paul tray from Asrai Garden (also not vintage) to hold it all.
These coffee and tea canisters came from the Salvation Army, and we see similar things a lot in thrift stores. We use them to store phone chargers and laptop cords.
This yellow pitcher from GoodWill is one of our favorite pieces. We've used it for flowers, but right now it's storing our pens and markers.
How do you use vintage containers in your own home?
9 Comments
For my wedding we had tons of second-hand pressed glass relish dishes filled with white candles as part of the table decor. now i use them to hold paperclips, buttons, earrings, rubberbands, etc at home and at work.
I have a small collection of silver and silverplated objects that I use around the house. A creamer holds my pens on my desk, a small ash tray holds my husband's loose change, a very small sugar bowl holds paper clips, what looks like a small cake stand holds rocks in my bathroom, etc. I like the contrast of using something that is normally consider pretty formal for common objects.
My cologne comes from the store in little wooden boxes - I use them to collect loose coins and organize odds and ends in a drawer of my credenza.
I have an old mug and an old green glass relish dish that I use for pens & pencils.
I use an old gallon olive-oil tin that I cut the top off with a can opener and use for cooking utensils by the stove. I have another tin with a lid that held gourmet carmel corn on my countertop that I keep boxes of pasta in.
I have an old frosted glass wine bottle with a bar-spigot that I use for pouring olive oil when I cook.
I use little vintage ceramic ashtrays as soap dishes, a vintage ceramic cigarette box to keep collar stays and cufflinks in, and a vintage ceramic dish for watches, bracelets, etc.
I use my vintage canisters to hold what they were made to hold. The flour holds the flour, the sugar holds the sugar... etc.
But around the rest of the house I use a lot of hand made pottery that my dad made in the 70's to hold things like makeup brushes, and pens in the office.
I love that idea for the wedding centerpieces. So great!
My TV and DVD remotes live in an old carnival glass cookie jar. Another one holds the cat's toys.
I love repurposed things. I use an old crock my mom had for charger and cable storage, one my grandmother had for colored pencils. I have a couple of old really narrow drawers from singer sewing tables that I use to corral remotes.
I keep my laundry detergent in an enamel bucket. It holds one box (140 loads) perfectly and looks great on a shelf above the washer. Old glass jars have the lids removed and now have plants growing out of the top. They look pretty, you can see if they need water, and they were only 40 cents a piece.
I love the idea of old cannisters for cords. I use McCann's Irish steel cut oatmeal containers for my threads/embroidery supplies. I cover the top with fabric and sew in labels so I can ID from above.
We have many vintage containers around the house...the usual, a couple of colorful vintage canisters hold sugar substitutes and a ceramic blue stilton cheese container houses boyfriend's protein powder. An old oatmeal tin holds cooking utensils, vintage bottles contain oils in the kitchen and mouthwash and bubble bath in the bathroom.
My favorite re-uses are our general paper, pen, and do-dad organizers which is a vintage coca-cola bottle crate that has some of it's dividers missing...which makes it perfect for organizing items of different shapes and sizes. We also have an antique grape crate for paper and magazines, and an old picnic basket holds more magazines and remotes.
I found very old and tiny vintage sodium-bicarbonate tin. After holding on to it for a year with no purpose, it's now serving as the perfect "laundry quarter" container!
I also had a friend that collected clear glass bottles and jars to hold candles for her wedding. It was green, economical, and beautiful!!

Empty corn fields might mean the harvest is about over for the year, but for the many hunters in the state of Iowa, it means that pheasant hunting season is just beginning.
This weekend, hunters hit the fields for the first time in pursuit of those birds. Among the hunters, Congressman Steve King. He says even though the campaign will be a sprint to the finish, it was important to him to take time out for this tradition. It's one, he says, relates to the public well.
For months, Iowa Congressman Steve King has been on the campaign trail. His car now has racked up more than 200,000 miles.
"Our polls look good and the response out there across the district, and you know I wouldn't be here if I was very worried about this race, but I do think we've done an awful lot to earn the vote," said King.
Plus, he says some traditions, like hitting a different kind of trail with his good friends, are very important.
"As you can see, I have my priorities," said King. "I'm hunting pheasants this weekend. It's opening day and opening weekend, and that's what you do when you're in Iowa."
King was joined by several politicians and a group of eager hunters.
"It's also a way for us to give Steve some moral support. You know, it's been a tough year. I've been in some tough elections myself, so I know what it's like coming down the stretch," said Gutknecht.
A group of hunting dogs was almost as excited to work through the mile-plus course, racing through the brush and burs to gather fallen pheasants.
"This is really sort of the essence of growing up in this part of the world," said Gil Gutknecht, former representative from Minnesota.
Even getting some out of town guests to lead the way.
"I'm out here to show these guys what it's all about," said Tom Tancredo, a former presidential candidate.
"The country side is alive with human activity," said Daniel Warren Wells, owner of the Hole 'N in the Wall Lodge in Akron, Iowa. "The wild life's crazy. There's deer everywhere."
After hours of walking the trail, King's plan for the rest of his campaign: a sprint to the finish.
On Saturday evening, King welcomed area veterans and active members of the military for an appreciation night at the lodge.
Pheasant hunting season, by the way, runs through Jan. 10.

Prometheus Reviews
The film [has] a kind of "been there, done that" feeling.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Paste Magazine
They would have been better off channeling their inner Ellen Ripley and pulling the release to the airlock before this voyage departed.
Full Review | Original Score: 5.3/10
Slant Magazine
Prometheus seems to delusionally maintain that its modest thrills are being enlivened by deeper concerns.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4
Irish Times
Prometheus suffers from a near-terminal inability to decide what story it wants to tell.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
The Popcorn Junkie
It's great to see Scott back in the realm of sci-fi but it's a superficial attempt to brand something new with the familiar elements of Alien
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
After an encouraging start the film too hastily descends into a contrived jumble of fiction, burdened by undertows of faith, mankind's origins and what it means to be human.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
Seattle Times
While its vast sets and production values are simply stunning, "Prometheus" ultimately disappoints.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
In space, no one can hear your disappointment.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5
The Ooh Tray
It's all a bit woolly-minded. Shock horror indeed.
For all the noise and thunder early on, Prometheus just runs out of steam, but what a ride until it does.
Full Review | Original Score: 6.5/10
The Standard
Questions go unanswered, shocking occurences go unquestioned, and supposedly intelligent people do stupid things.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
ABC Radio Brisbane
It's a gutsy effort but the screenplay from Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof isn't strong enough. I was struggling with the characters from the very beginning.
Full Review | Original Score: B-
The Washingtonian
An infuriating example of a film that holds huge potential and borders on greatness, but in falling just short of that mark feels little more than mediocre.
Full Review | Original Score: 5.5/10
In space, everyone can hear you try too hard.
Badass Digest
In space no one can hear PROMETHEUS disappoint you.
Wall Street Journal
This tale of an interstellar search asks cosmic questions about the meaning of life, but comes up with lame answers in a script that screams attention-deficit disorder.
The deep, dark shadows that played such a crucial role in the shot-on-film Alien and its sequels are gone in Prometheus.
Movie Dearest
Starts out intriguingly as an exploration of faith and humankind's origins. To my disappointment, though, it largely abandons this once the familiar face-huggers and chest-bursters start to appear.
Full Review | Original Score: C
If you have a dozen engaged and insightful friends who are willing to share a beer after seeing 'Prometheus,' you can talk yourself into thinking it's a fabulous movie.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/10
It's not necessarily a bad movie, it's just half of a great one. And that's almost more disappointing.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

If you woke up feeling at your lowest this morning, there are reasons for it and it's not just because we, as fans of the Green Bay Packers, are still hurting from the Divisional round smackdown we suffered through last weekend at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers.
And it's not just because we had to endure our first full weekend without Packers football since the bye week.
It's because today is known as Blue Monday. Even 49ers fans and Baltimore Ravens fans probably woke up today with somewhat of a sense of remorse.
You see, it's midwinter; most of the nation is suffering through the coldest temperature snap of the season; we're tired of the short days and lack of sunshine; and we're recovering from the emotional high of Christmas and New Year's while trying to come to grips with the light pocketbooks we feel from the impact of seasonal spending. On top of that, taxes are coming due.
Add on to that the depression we are all feeling from the sudden and disappointing end to the Packers' season and you've got a recipe for a major downer.
How do we get through it?
Well, we have to look forward. We have to make sure we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The cold snap will ease by the end of the week as we head into the final week of the first month of the year. February is a short month with Valentine's Day thrown in and by the time we get to March we will love the fact that the free agency period gets under way and the Draft is only a month away.
Before we know it, the Major League Baseball season will kick off and it won't be long before we start gearing up for a renewal of the National Football League season.
See? It's not so bad …
Easy for me to say, right?
Well, this weekend is Pro Bowl weekend – without Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews – but hey, I think Josh Sitton will get some snaps. Then the week after that is Super Bowl weekend with the "Bro-Bowl," "HarBowl" or whatever you want to call it … I know … YAWN.
Well, maybe they will have Aaron Rodgers as a guest again this season for the pre-game hoo-haw … again … YAWN.
C'mon, it won't be that bad. I promise. Really.
So, put a smile on that ol' Packers face, break out the old tapes of Green Bay Packers championships, heat up the chili, the brats, the cheese, and the crackers, break out the beer and have some fun.
Winter is long only if we make it long and depressing only if we dwell on that final game.
Remember, we get another shot at the Niners next season …
It seems so far away, but it isn't

Safety Engineers to Participate in Blood Drive for Florida Sick and Injured at Orlando Conference
Des Plaines, IL (June 20, 2007) — To provide a safe and adequate blood supply to the sick and injured of Florida, Florida's Blood Centers (FBC) will be host to a blood drive on Sunday, June 24, at the American Society of Safety Engineers' (ASSE) annual Professional Development Conference at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
According to FBC, 65 percent of the Florida population is eligible to give blood but only five percent of the population actually donates. The FBC needs at least 1,500 donors per day to meet the needs of patients serviced by the Centers. In addition, car accident victims can use 50 pints or more of blood, and with transportation related accidents being the number one cause of on-the-job deaths, blood donations are essential for keeping up with demand.
On Sunday, June 24, there will be a blood mobile in front of the Orange County Convention Center from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM EST taking blood donations.
All blood donors at the PDC have the opportunity to win $25 Darden Restaurants' gift certificates, which can be used at Olive Garden, Smokey Bones, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52 and Red Lobster restaurants. Donors will also receive a free Sonny's BBQ Big Meal Deal and a free membership to Club Red (future donors will receive a $10 Darden Restaurants gift certificate on their second donation). Donors need picture identification in order to donate.
FBC was established on April 2, 1942, shortly after the start of World War II. During its 60 years, FBC has consistently provided the communities it serves with a safe and adequate blood supply. Today, FBC is the sole supplier of blood and blood products to 70 healthcare facilities in a 21-county area. With its 875 employees, the not-for-profit 501(C3) organization provides more than 360,000 units of blood and blood products each year donated entirely by volunteers. FBC remains the largest blood bank in Florida and the fourth largest independent blood bank in the nation.
Founded in 1911, the Des Plaines, IL-based ASSE is the largest and oldest professional safety organization and is committed to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 30,000 occupational safety, health and environmental professional members manage, supervise, research and consult on safety, health, transportation and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor and education.

I traveled to Iran with a Global Exchange tour in summer of 2007. I traveled with 13 Americans and we were treated like rock stars everywhere we went. We were never restricted from talking to people and many of those we met made clear that they don't care for either government - that in Iran or that in the US - but love to see Americans. The tourist highlights Shiraz, Esfahan and Persepolis are certainly worth seeing, but my personal favorites were the ancient desert town of Yazd and the red clay mountain village Abyyaneh.

I travelled to Iran in 2003 as part of a larger 4-year trip on which I visited 30 countries around the world. Iran stands out in my memories as the country with the most human warmth, natural splendor (unexpected variety ranging from rain forests *mazandaran* to dramatic metallic desert mountains *bam*), moving culture (Sufi traditional music performed in people's homes in North Tehran) and beautiful people. It was also a real bargain where I rode the first class train from Tehran to Shiraz *600 miles* for US $5. I encourage anyone to visit this country.

I was fortunate to spend two weeks in Iran over Christmas vacation in 2006. We were two American Jewish women who joined a British tour but never faced any hostility or suspicion at all from Iranians although we always revealed who we were. On our own, we visited synagogues in Tehran, Shiraz and Esfahan and were surprised and delighted to discover a small but seemingly thriving Jewish community operating without fear. One place I'd definitely add to the suggestions in the article is Yazd with its extraordinary air-cooling towers and the Zorastrian Towers of Silence. Overall, this was one of my most favorite trips ever, between the beauty of the mosques and Qatar residences, the friendliness of the people, the rich historical monuments from the ancient Persian empire and the Sassanid and Safavid periods, and the fascination of visiting a country of amazing contradictions as Iranians negotiate their lives under a revolutionary regime. I'd go back in a flash.

I've traveled a few times skiing and going to Isfahan, Shiraz and other cities. Always I hear about people telling me how surprised they are by the warmth of the Iranian people and how great of a time they have. I am a woman. As a woman, I never find it difficult outside of the regulatory requirements to travel anywhere. The pictures only give you half of the story. The better part is the interaction with the people, bargaining and going through different situations getting to know the people. I hope you have a chance to go.

This past summer I traveled throughout Iran with my two co-workers. As three single American women, we definitely had our reservations and concerns about the trip. As soon as we arrived we were overwhelmed by the warmth of the people and the beauty of the country. We flew into Tehran, then took a domestic flight to Shiraz. From there we flew to Esfahan, and then back to Tehran. The highlight of our trip was definitely traveling by truck into the Zagros mountains, a few hours outside of Shiraz, to camp with the Quashqai nomads. The purpose of the trip was to puchase gabbeh rugs, made by the nomads, for our small gallery in Key West, FL - our home-town. We came home with both gorgeous rugs and a deep appreciation for the people we met.

How to get laptop to stop "identifying" wireless and connect?
I have other computers connected to my wifi, and I have connected my laptop to multiple other networks. It simply won't work with mine.
My laptop will "identify" the network, resulting in one of these outcomes:
Connected, but no internet access (Limited Access)
Connected (but connection resets within a minute or so, back to identifying)
I did have wifi for approximately 2 days at one point before it reset the connection again.
The weird thing is, the friend I got this computer from has the same problem trying to get her own laptop connecting to my wireless.
I am at the moment connected with an Ethernet cord (rather inconvenient)
Any ideas as to how I can fix this?
