According to your screenshot, a process called 2145.exe is using 96% of your CPU. A google seach for this executable indicates it's malware.
2145.exe | mostly identified as a threat - Spywarelib.com
2145.EXE, Prevx
You might want to start scanning your computer with some free tools to see if any malware shows up. Since no anti-malware product is 100% effective 100% of the time, the more scans you run that come back clean the better the chances your computer is not infected.
Windows Defender Offline (create bootable disk on a malware-free computer)
ESET Online Scanner
If all the scans come back clean you could then check for any damaged or corrupt system files. Run a system file checker scan from an elevated command prompt (option two.) If problems are found, run the scan 3 times and reboot your computer after each scan.
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Please post back the results of the malware scans and SFC scan.

first i want to tell you that when i started my windows i didn`t found the problem and i haven`t done any scan or anything
iam very sorry cuz iam late
the result of the scan with SuperAntispyware is http://oi49.tinypic.com/2vi0z6v.jpg
Malwarebytes and ESET Online Scanner . those two sites didn`t open with me

i restarted the windows then i fount the same cpu usage problem
then i made another scan with SuperAntispyware and it detected another spywares and i removed them again . i will restart for the 3rd time now

It seems like your computer is having some malware problems. Some of the malware could be self-replicating. That means each time you try to get rid of the malware, bits and pieces are left behind. Those bits and pieces are able to create the malware.
The Windows Defender Offline might be your best chance to clean your computer. It goes to work before Windows 7 has a chance to start. But WDO has to be created on a computer that is clean. If you try to create it on an infected machine, the malware will prevent it from working correctly.

then i should use an antivirus instead of wdo . Will norton help me and remove all of this threats with no coming back ?
|My System Specs
|16 Dec 2012
Windows Defender Offline is an anti-virus product and more. It could better be called a rescue disk because it is designed to remove malware before the operating system starts up. Once the OS starts, malware can hide and avoid most traditional scans. But if the scan starts before the operating system starts it's less likely for the malware to hide. If you prefer Norton, they also have a rescue disk called the Norton Bootable Recovery Tool (NBRT.)
Norton Rescue Tools

i think iam gonna use norton cuz i dont think i will be able to use wdo
|My System Specs
|16 Dec 2012
Norton is certainly a good product. But as I said before, no product is 100% effective 100% of the time. So if there's any way for you to also scan with Malwarebytes and ESET, they could find things missed by Norton and SuperAntispyware. Let us know how Norton works.

We currently run a pair of Nokia ip350's in a HA pair. We have a public
address for each of the firewalls plus one for the VIP. We have been
successfully running SecureClient terminating on the VIP address without any
problems. However we are about to migrate to a new ISP that wants us to
allocate private addresses to the firewalls and the VIP and they will route
from the newly allocated public address range to us.
I am unable to see how SecureClient will work in this way. Our ISP assure me
that this will work using NAT (they tell me this works on their PIX's). I
managed to track down one document on the net that basically says that
Checkpoint supplied an unsupported workaround, but even this will not work
in a HA configuration, and I am certainly not interested in an unsupported
option. I have agreed to try and get this working on the proviso that if it
does not we will get public addressing for the firewalls, but so far I have
been unsuccessful. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, any
Many thanks for any light you can shed on this

Research Interests
Our research group focuses on chemical biology with an emphasis on developing bioorthogonal reactions for addressing questions in synthetic biology and molecular imaging. Our current research interests are in triggering selective reactions for applications in biomimetic chemistry, challenging conventional notions of where and how chemical reactions are performed. These interests are reflected in our recent work on de novo forming vesicles and the development and in vivo application of tetrazine bioorthogonal chemistries. The overall goal of my research program is to create and utilize chemical techniques that mimic the exquisite control of biology in achieving functionality.
In the field of synthetic biology, we are interested in understanding how catalytic coupling reactions can drive the self-assembly, growth, and reproduction of lipid vesicle assemblies. The transition from microscopic chemical reactions to macroscopic self-reproducing systems must have been a key step in the emergence of early life, yet there is little knowledge about how this process began for the first primitive cells. Although the self-assembly of simple lipids is well understood, coupling their self-assembly to more complex biomimetic functions, such as chemically driven self-reproduction and information transfer, has been extremely difficult. Understanding how sets of chemical reactions can lead to "living" systems capable of growth, reproduction, and competitive evolution, remains a grand challenge in the chemical sciences.
With respect to molecular imaging, our group is interested in applying tetrazine cycloadditions, a form of next generation "click" chemistry, to imaging problems at the cellular and whole animal level. Tetrazine cycloadditions are rapid, catalyst-free, inverse Diels-Alder reactions that are gaining interest as biologically compatible coupling reactions. We are involved at all levels, from developing new reactions schemes to implementation in live animal models of human disease. The latter work is aided by working with collaborators at the Moores Cancer Center.

Outreach Activities
My experience as an ethnic minority in this country has cemented my commitment to providing a diverse environment to my coworkers and students. Diversity has been an important component of both to my scientific career and my personal life. I am dedicated to encouraging equality, fairness, and diversity in the workplace. This commitment to promoting diversity is reflected in my recruitment, retention, and mentorship of several students and fellows from underrepresented backgrounds. Being able to improve access and training to students from underrepresented groups is truly exciting and, in my opinion, one of the greatest benefits of working at a top-tier public research university such as UCSD. My philosophy toward mentoring is to emphasize the excitement of science, the positives of a scientific career path, and the attainability of research goals given proper design and methodological execution.
I also work with UCSD CREATE (Center for Research on Educational Equity, Assessment, and Teaching Excellence) to develop an educational component integrating our bottom-up synthetic cell research with an existing coordinated effort at UC San Diego to improve the STEM pipeline K-20 in San Diego. In particular, we will focus on reaching populations typically underrepresented in STEM fields. Specifically, this coordinated effort will link our lab's research interests and results in the chemistry of vesicle reproduction with two efforts at the university: 1) the San Diego Science Project (SDSP), a K-12 professional development and teacher support organization training both UCSD undergrads and teachers to engage science content with secondary students and 2) the TRIO Upward Bound Math/Science Program (UBMS), a federally funded outreach program that aims to increase the number of underrepresented minorities and low-income youth that enroll in undergraduate education. Our goal is to stimulate the entry of underrepresented and low income student populations into STEM fields and to expose a broad range of students and teachers to origin of life and synthetic biology topics.

Daily roundup of news on your favorite Red Raiders.
Practice report: Amaro catches on quickly
Jace Amaro's first week of practice with his new team reportedly went very well, writes Jets beat writer for ESPN Rich Cimini:
Jace impresses: Tight end Jace Amaro was among the standouts in practice. The second-round pick caught everything, displaying sure hands and good body control. You could tell instantly that he has caught a lot of passes in his career. His speed doesn't jump out, but he's a fluid route runner. He's known as a pass-receiving tight end, but he certainly has the size (6-5, 265 pounds) to be an in-line blocker.
Amaro: I want 100 catches a year
Cimini caught up with Amaro later, who says he eventually wants to be a Tony Gonzales-level tight end in the league:
"Eventually, I'd like to do that on a consistent basis, be a tight end that catches 100 balls a year," said Amaro, who signed a four-year, $4.3 million contract before his first practice. "That might be five years from now, it might be 10. That's kind of a goal for me."
Amaro did it last season at Texas Tech, racking up 106 receptions for 1,352 yards — an FBS yardage record for tight ends. The numbers might be inflated because he played in an up-tempo offense that averaged 55 pass attempts per game, but the Jets believe he has the talent to upgrade their 31st-ranked passing attack.
"A guy with that kind of size (6-foot-5, 265 pounds) and his kind of skills … absolutely, he'll add to our passing game," coach Rex Ryan said. "Those guys are hard to cover."
Texas Tech's 'once-in-a-lifetime' QB might be next sports superstar
Patrick Mahomes still hasn't made it to campus yet, where he'll assume the heir-to-the-throne position behind Davis Webb, but already he's drawing headlines as a potential superstar writes Louis Ojeda Jr. of Fox Sports Southwest:
"He's once-in-a-lifetime talent," Whitehouse High School baseball coach Derrick Jenkins told MaxPreps. "He's a once-in-a-lifetime kid."
That's not surprising for someone who's the son of a former Major League pitcher, Pat Mahomes.
He was named the 2013 AP Texas State Football Player of the Year after passing for 4,619 yards, rushing for 940 yards, and accounting for 65 total touchdowns.
On the baseball diamond, he tossed a no-hitter last March. But his skills aren't limited to pitching.
"He can do pretty much anything he wants to do on the baseball field," Jenkins said. "Plus he's the smartest baseball player I've ever coached."

Colleges and Universities Face Off in Fourth Annual K Street Classic
Only the most ardent fan of the University of Colorado at Boulder would pick the 11th-seeded Buffaloes to win the NCAA men's basketball tourney, even though they have one of the nation's best rebounders in Andre Roberson.
But wait! They have a secret weapon: Extensive lobbying expenditures! And that, friends (spoiler alert!), sends them on their way to winning it all according to this year's edition of the Center for Responsive Politics' annual K Street Classic, in which we predict the success of each school in the NCAA bracket based on how much it spent lobbying Washington in 2011.

Step 7: Install Stacked Stone
Press stacked stone material into mortar, holding in place until self-supported. Continue placement of stones, ensuring no space is left between them.
Step 8: Attach Chimney Cap
Most chimney caps are made of metal; wear protective gloves before installing. If you have a single-flue chimney cap, slip it over the flue, firmly tightening the screws on all sides of the chimney cap. Inside-mount chimney caps require a firm push directly into the flue. If your cap requires masonry anchors or bits, attach using drill.

The Cardinals get a well deserved piece of the puzzle done today by resigning Matt Shaughnessy to a two year deal. Shaughnessy was a very good player for this team last year, his stats may not reflect that in sacks but if there was a stat for being disruptive and causing bad throws with pressure he would be at the top of the list. This is a key piece of the Cardinals building a contender for years to come, Shaughnessy is only 27 years of age turning in a good season despite playing along side great talent and impressed us all enough to want him to return. Shaughnessy recorded 36 tackles 3 sacks 3 fumble recoveries and forced 1 fumble playing in all 16 games and started in 12.
The role for Shaughnessy may increase having turned in the type of season he did and not adding another pass rusher so far it looks like the Cardinals will look to Shaughnessy for bigger production next year. The New England Patriots had Shaughnessy on their visit list, but I and many fans are glad that Shaughnessy saw the best place for his career was to resign with the group he went to war with last year.

Need countertop installation in Rockaway Beach Oregon? If you're planning to have natural stone countertops, like granite or marble, in your home, you might be interested in how fabricators go about with the installation procedures. Here, you can find the general installation routine that fabricators follow during a granite or marble countertop install.
Since all the measurements have been done beforehand, the next step is to determine whether it granite or marble slab was correctly cut to fit. This is what is termed as "dry assembly". What is done is placing the granite and marble slabs on the counters and checking for correct fit and allowances. Further trimming may be done should the fit be incorrect.
Granite Countertop Installation in Rockaway Beach OR
Once fit is assured, the next procedure is ensuring the surface would be level. Shims may be used to ensure a flat and level surface. This is also done to prevent lippage after the installation. Measurements are also done to determine whether the slab layout is within industry tolerances.
The next step is the application of adhesives. Since the proper fit and leveling has been done, it's time to put the stone slabs in place permanently. The fabricator may use a general construction adhesive or silicone sealant for this purpose.
Now comes the final fitting. The granite or marble slabs may be pushed into place as the adhesive sets in. Joint and seam sealers are usually applied before the slabs are sealed into place. Some of the sealing material is squeezed out during the process and just wiped away once the proper alignment and leveling has been achieved.
Stainless Steel Countertop Installation in Oregon
The last step would be the application of stone sealers. The sealer used would depend on the type of slab applied, but then it's best that an impregnating sealer is used for effective sealing. It's also important to select a sealer that matches the stone color or one that's non-staining.
Once everything sets in, some finishing touches are done. Some cleaning and polishing would be done to come up with a sparkling finish. After that, the installation is done.
That is the usual granite or marble countertop installation routine. There may be some slight variations, but in general, the procedure is the same. Knowing this routine makes you aware of what the fabricator is supposed to do, and how the install should proceed. You would also get an idea of how long the install would take, and know the key points in the installation process to ensure proper installation.

Granite is not just the hardest material available for countertops; it's likewise the most expensive, with costs beginning at $60 a square foot. Though including granite countertops to any kitchen can be quite pricey, they remain the premiere option in many brand-new and remodeled homes. The charm and warmth offer a visual appeal that can not be discovered in other countertop products.

Setting up granite countertops is not a job for the do-it-yourself homeowner, seeking to save money on installation expenses. Prior to the process of setting up granite countertops can start, array tops, the sink and the old countertops should be thoroughly removed.
After the granite countertops are purchased, an individual from the installation company will pertain to specifically measure the cabinetry and produce templates for the installation.

The fewer seams, the much better, as despite how well the joint is fitted, straight lines in the natural stone are very visible. At this time they will identify if any specialized tools will be needed for the sink and variety cutouts.

Tablets are starting to play a bigger part in people's life in the U.K., according to a report released in June by YouGov. The international market research agency has been tracking the tablet market quarterly since 2010 and its latest Tablet Tracker report showed that 8% of the U.K. population now own one tablet.
Among the population, Apple's iPad plays a dominant role with over 70% share in the market. While Apple still secures a leading position in this relatively new and growing field, its overall share has dipped 4 percentage points from three months ago. And its rivals, especially Samsung who now claims 7% share in the market, are fast approaching and putting much stress on the American consumer electronics giant. For instance, Samsung has beaten iPad 2 across many performance measures such as Sturdiness and Reliability.
While the report did not shed light on the demographics of the market, another report published by Digital Britain a few months ago is likely to give us some helpful though not up-to-the-minute information. According to the report, more males than females use tablets in Britain, with 7% for the former and 5% the latter. Young affluent people, aged from 25 to 34, happen to be the majority of the owners, with the 18 to 24 year-olds following closely behind.
The tablet market has certainly yet to grow. A lot of research regarding the pattern of ownership as well as that of usage in this booming market still needs to be done so as to find out how our lives are blending with the broad set of devices.

UB shuts down contested shale institute
Fracking drama continues, Tripathi ends SRSI
President Satish K. Tripathi announced the university has closed its hotly debated organization SRSI. Alexa Strudler /// The Spectrum
President Satish Tripathi closed the university's controversial shale institute on Monday, Nov. 19.
The announcement came after the continuing criticism of the Shale Resources and Society Institute's (SRSI) funding, founding and governance. Tripathi informed faculty in an email. His letter noted the "cloud of uncertainty" that looms over SRSI and discussed the future of fracking research on campus.
For members of the UB Coalition for Leading Ethically in Academic Research (UBCLEAR) and the Public Accountability Initiative (PAI), a local watchdog organization, the shutdown is a victory. PAI issued a report that pointed out SRSI's flaws, and that report fueled UBCLEAR's objections and protest of the institute.
But Bruce Pitman, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, continues to be surprised by the backlash that led up to closing the institute.
"We have had an ongoing examination of issues - policies, practices - nothing was found to be wrong," Pitman said. "Nevertheless, there is continuing onslaught of allegations without any backing that have just made it impossible for the institute to do what it was designed to do."
Pitman said for about a week before the decision was made,Provost Charles Zukoski and Vice President for Research Alexander Cartwright had a series of conversations with the geology department, the SRSI advisory board and the institute's co-directors as a "detailed fact finding to really understand what was going on." Pitman was officially informed of the decision to close the institute on the day it was made public.
Ultimately, the president made the decision, Pitman said, but he and Zukoski stand behind Tripathi.
Members of UBCLEAR are thrilled with the outcome.
"It's really good news," said James Holstun, UBCLEAR chair and English professor. "It's a sign that the people of New York and the SUNY Trustees want their public university to remain public and not a mouthpiece for secret corperate money."
Holstun and members of UBCLEAR think SRSI likely received undisclosed industry funding - something Pitman and UB administration adamantly deny.
The SUNY Board of Trustees called for an investigation of the institute in September, and UB responded by sending the members a report detailing the founding of the institute. Pitman said SUNY had no input in the decision to close the institute.
SUNY Administration and the Board of Trustees support UB's decision to close the institute because of the questions surrounding it, according to an emailed statement by David Doyle, the SUNY director of communications.
"Public trust must be earned and we are confident that this decision will make UB a stronger institution, and going forward its important research endeavors will be able to proceed with clear guidelines that ensure credible academic outcomes," Doyle said. The trustees reserved further comment until their formal review is completed. Doyle said it's anticipated the trustees will discuss their findings in a future public meeting.
Their next meeting is Dec. 4.
Holstun feels UB didn't start taking the criticisms seriously until SUNY got involved.
Board of Trustees Chair H. Carl McCall contacted Holstun following the institute's closure and commended UBCLEAR for its "advocacy for transparency and integrity for research activity at the University at Buffalo."
SRSI was created in April 2012. On May 15, it produced its first report, which was pro-fracking. The report was scrutinized nationally and on campus because of allegations of "junk science" and ties between the authors of the report and the gas industry. This was made clear by PAI's report.
Robert Galbraith, a research analyst at PAI and a UB law student, was surprised the institute closed, especially after how passionately the university defended it under "academic freedom."
"I don't know how confident [PAI was that] the school would close down the institute," Galbraith said. "We were certainly hopeful we were going to have some sort of effect in discovering these connections and this pro-industry institute."
Galbraith was pleased to see Tripathi's letter stated: "Conflicts - both actual and perceived - can arise between sources of research funding and expectations of independence when reporting research results."
That was a point PAI was "trying to drive home" with its investigation, Galbraith said.
UBCLEAR has been calling to shut down the institute since controversy first arose. The group has gotten over 10,000 petition signatures calling for the institute's closure. Now the petition is unnecessary, but it shows the support garnered against SRSI.
"The institute lacks sufficient faculty presence in fields associated with energy production from shale for the institute to meet its stated mission," Tripathi wrote in the letter.
Pitman had previously spoken about the high qualifications of co-directors John Martin and Robert Jacobi due to their experience in the field. But he explained the issue was the amount of time both co-directors could put into the institute; Martin was a part-time director and Jacobi reduced his full-time faculty position to a fraction, Pitman said.
"To leverage our university's considerable faculty expertise in the area of energy and the environment and to address these issues with appropriate breadth and complexity, UB will establish a comprehensive program of scholarship and education that addresses issues in this broadly defined area of research," Triapthi said in his letter.
Holstun feels the comprehensive plan, which Zukoski will be in charge of, could be beneficial. Holstun was pleased to see the environmental sciences were mentioned. He feels they have been "completely ignored by the institute since its founding."
Pitman said the hope is the program will get faculty talking about the things that need to be addressed in the complex topics of sustainability, water and energy. He also said he is still trying to process some of what has happened regarding the institute.
"I never expected the level of backlash that is based is on statements of 'Pitman said this, but I don't believe that,' or 'Pitman said this, but I believe this other thing happened,'" he said. "I did not appreciate that intensity, but we learn."
Pitman said he finds the level of the mix of politics and scholarship revolving around the institute "disheartening."
Now that their goal has been completed, Holstun is unsure if UBCLEAR will continue to exist. "We have to have a meeting and talk about that. We don't know yet. It may very well," he said.
He thinks UB needs to make up for lost time and really address some of the problems it's run into.
In the time since SRSI's closure, Holstun's inbox was filled with messages of congratulations. He said the most warming thing in this whole process is how much people love SUNY. He thinks the closing of the institute is an "expression of people's love for their university."

Brown, the Giants' No. 1 prospect, singled in each of his at-bats but could not lift the listless Flying Squirrels in the finale of their doubleheader as the host New Britain Rock Cats posted a 4-1 victory.
Batting leadoff and playing center field, the same roles he filled so ably last season at Class A Advanced San Jose, Brown is 4-for-9 in his first three Eastern League games. The 21-year-old ranked among the top three in the Cal League in batting (third, .336), runs scored (second, 115), hits (first, a franchise-record 188), triples (first, 13), total bases (second, 290) and steals (second, 53) in 2011.
Flying Squirrels right fielder Juan Perez recorded the fourth and final hit against the Rock Cats' trio of Logan Darnell (1-0), David Bromberg and Bobby Lanigan, who notched his first save.
Richmond starter Craig Westcott (0-1) allowed three runs on five hits over 4 1/3 frames. He starred at San Jose alongside Brown in 2011, going 13-4 with a 3.42 ERA in 25 games.
Brown, a 2010 first-round Draft pick and MLB.com's No. 47 prospect, struck out once in three empty at-bats in the opener, a 6-2 setback.
Rock Cats designated hitter Evan Bigley plated five of his team's six runs, victimizing Flying Squirrels starter Jason Stevenson (0-1), who fanned six before exiting in the fifth.
In the loss, Giants' No. 9 prospect Chris Dominguez doubled twice in three at-bats, drove in a run and scored once. Dominguez, who batted .244 in 78 games at Richmond in 2011, is 6-for-10 with four RBIs in the early going.

With This Much "Help," You'll Never Get Anything Done
The Three Musketeers had it half right.
"All for one and one for all" is a great strategy for assuring collaboration, teamwork and loyalty, but it can be a very dangerous approach in a start-up. It can lead to chaos, with a whole lot of people trying to "help out" who end up being a hindrance, instead of simply minding their own business.
Even if your business is short-handed and resource-constrained, you're not going to be well-served by people piling on to assist in areas where they don't have the skills, background or judgment to add value. You can't have your finance guy writing marketing copy, even in his alleged spare time. You can't have your IT people trying to design your next product or service, unless perhaps you're in the IT business. Even then, you want your IT people making sure that your servers and cloud connections don't blow up, rather than suggesting new color schemes for your website.
As the boss, you've got to politely tell these eager beavers to butt out-;without leaving them with the feeling that they've been unappreciated, ignored or dismissed.
Don't just do something, stand there
The people and companies that succeed are those that focus their energy and resources. They stick to their knitting. Your company and your people need to have the same discipline. It's not about what you say "yes" to--it's about the many things that you have the guts to say "no" to, even though they are terribly tempting.
This is all part of the process of "getting real." It starts by admitting that democracy is not necessarily a virtue in all meetings; that not every idea is a good one or worth the group's time; and that not everyone in the business is good at every part of the business, or should be.
At the same time, you need to make sure you don't confuse bad ideas with bad intentions. And you need to remember that people can be terribly sincere and still have really stupid ideas.
The basic nature of any start-up is a "let's get it done" attitude, which is great. When things take longer than they should, there's a clear bias toward action--sometimes any action. Unfortunately, that encourages people who don't know what they're doing to roll up their sleeves and give themselves permission to try to do "something." But just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
In these cases, "doing something" isn't necessarily better than doing nothing and waiting until the right people can get around to doing it the right way. It's hard for any entrepreneur to tell his people to hurry up and wait at the same time, but that's the right message. Stick to your knitting and mind your own part of the business.

Attackers Of Giants Fan Bryan Stow Face Federal Charges

Sports Fan Insider
LOS ANGELES (CBS / AP) — Two men who beat a San Francisco Giants fan outside Dodger Stadium, leaving him severely brain-damaged, have now been charged with federal crimes.
Marvin Norwood and Louie Sanchez of Rialto were charged Wednesday in Los Angeles with being felons in possession of firearms. Authorities say they found assault-style rifles and other guns at Norwood's home.
Both men are in custody. Each faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
A call to Norwood's attorney wasn't immediately returned.
The men pleaded guilty to state charges last month for attacking Bryan Stow in the stadium parking lot after the 2011 opening game.
The attack shocked sports fans and left Stow permanently disabled.
Sanchez was sentenced to eight years in prison, with credit for about three years served.
Norwood got four years.

jccg // "monstros do chile"
Here is a new track by the same mysterious dude that is the mastermind behind the under-appreciated Spinning Beach Ball of Death and also the eerie sample manipulator mediafired. I've been digging his music for awhile and I've shared what I've heard here on my blog in hopes that you'd dig it too. Every once in a while he 'll email me with whatever he's working on, but he always keep things sort of anonymous and distant. That's just the way he does things.
I emailed him awhile back and asked him if he was working on any new material as mediafired. Turns out that he is, but it's not ready yet. In the meantime he sent me a few tracks that he's made under yet another moniker, jccg. Like his other projects, jccg has a completely different feel. Stripping things all the way down to almost strictly guitar, he layers reverbed strums and plucks to dreamy effect. The tracks create a just-woke-up-and-still-kinda-groggy sort of feel. So put them on and rub the sleep from your eyes, because there is some sort of genius going on here.
Check out the other stuff he's recorded on his soundcloud.

Windows 8: 5 touch gestures needed for better tablet operation
Summary: I've become more impressed with the way Windows 8 works on tablets over time, but would like to see these touch gestures implemented to make it even better.
1 of 6Image
5 proposed touch gestures for Windows 8 tablets (and laptops)
It took me a while to get used to Windows 8 on touch tablets, but with the right device the OS from Microsoft impresses me. It does some things better than others, and the dual nature of Windows 8 (Metro and desktop) is challenging.
Overall, the Windows 8 touch interface is pretty well done albeit a little quirky. It takes time to get used to swiping from the four edges of the screen to do different things, and it doesn't help that they are very different things at that. Using touch to manipulate the OS works reasonably well, but every time I use my Windows 8 tablet I wish some additional touch gestures were included in the mix.
The 5 gestures proposed in this article may not be for everyone using a Windows 8 tablet, but I really wish they were part of the UI. They are simple in concept and operation, and I would use them constantly if implemented. If you think about it you might wish they were included, too.

10 advantages Windows 8 tablets have over the iPad and Android
Epiphany: Windows 8 is a very good tablet OS
Swipe to the desktop
Windows 8 has a dual nature, between the Metro Start Screen and the legacy desktop. The Metro side has live tiles in a horizontal layout that can be spun through by swiping from right to left and vice versa to get back to the left-most screen.
Tablet users can attest to how common it is to be spinning right and left on the Start Screen to find a particular app tile to either run or view information on the tile. It's a natural gesture that fits the touch tablet particularly well.
As good as it is, I am constantly wishing it was expanded a little. When I am swiping from left to right on the Start Screen to get back to the left-most screen of tiles, I wish that it would let me swipe through to the desktop.
The legacy desktop is not part of the Metro interface but it's something I use all the time. I envision it existing to the left of the Metro side, so I wish I could keep going when swiping left to right on the Start Screen to easily get to the desktop.

Fresh Real Mistletoe
How long will my mistletoe last?
When should I have my order ship?
What can I do to keep my mistletoe fresh?
If I need my mistletoe later or for an
event, when should I place my order?
What is the mistletoe tradition?

Will my order have a tracking number?
When is the last day I can place my order
for mistletoe?
I need to change the shipping address. How
do I do that?
How do I request special handling or custom
How long will my mistletoe last?
Mistletoe is a fresh plant similar to a flower. It is important
that it is handled appropriately. You should receive your mistletoe
fresh and in good condition. It is common for some of the leaves
to fall off during shipping, but this is normal (we try to put
enough in there so that it will still look good after shipping).
Also, if your sprig contains berries,
some may squish or fall off during shipping as well. That being
said, you should still receive your mistletoe in good condition.
Once you receive it, it's best if you carefully remove it from
the bag and hang it as soon as possible. Once hung, the mistletoe
will dry and remain intact and last through the holiday season
if left alone. If it is handled frequently, though, the leaves
may begin to drop off sooner.
In the bag, mistletoe is preserved fresh for a very short time.
Long enough for us to get it to you in good condition. In some
tests we've done, we've been able to keep it fresh longer in
a cooler environment (like the garage or fridge), but the results
are not consistent. We highly recommend hanging your mistletoe
within a day or two of receiving it.
return to top
When should I have my order ship?
The Postal Service says that Priority Mail takes 2-3 days; however, they don't consider it late
until after 5 days. Our experience is that most packages are delivered within 2-3 days, but on
occasion, we'll see one that goes 4 or even 5 days (usually to locations in the eastern US).
If you're concerned and want to be safe, be sure to ship 3-5 days before you need your mistletoe.
Your mistletoe will arrive fresh and last a couple days in the bag if kept cool. In general, don't
set the ship date too early. You don't want it sitting for a week after your receive it.
return to top
What can I do to keep my mistletoe fresh?
Keeping mistletoe fresh is a tricky
thing. The best thing you can do is have it delivered just before
you plan on hanging it or giving it away or selling it.
In the bag, the moisture of the plant can become a problem,
so storing it in a cool dry place can sometimes reduce the risk
of molding (though you shouldn't plan on storing mistletoe more
than a couple days). In some tests we've done, we've been able
to keep it fresh longer in a cooler environment, but the results
are not consistent. We highly recommend hanging or distributing
your mistletoe within a day or two of receiving it. When
placing your order, let us know what day you'd like it shipped
if you need it for a later date.
When removed from the bag, it begins to dry and should be hung
as soon as possible. Once hung it will dry, shrivel a little
(similar to a dried flower) and remain throughout the holiday
return to top
If I need my mistletoe later or for
an event, when should I place my order?
You should place your order as soon
as you know you want to buy mistletoe, but we highly recommend
delaying the ship date. During the order process, include a
note regarding your event and when you'd like it shipped or
send us an e-mail. You should plan on receiving your mistletoe
no more than 2 days before you need it.
The following shipping methods are used:
-Priority Mail is usually 2-3 days*
-Express Mail is guaranteed next day in most places.
Shipping cost depends on item and location.
*Source: USPS.com October 2008. Actual delivery
time may vary.
return to top
What is the Mistletoe tradition?
An age-old holiday tradition is to
hang mistletoe in your home over a door or a place people walk.
When someone is standing under the mistletoe, it's free game
to kiss that person. You'll often find some people standing
under it far too often. :) It dates back to an almost ancient
belief that mistletoe held the gift of fertility.
return to top
What about Mistletoe Berries?
Though some people think of mistletoe with red berries,
mistletoe berries are a transparent-white to slightly pink color
and appear on some mature bunches of mistletoe. The mistaken
thought of red berries probably comes from another popular Christmas
plant, holly, which does have red berries.
Are Mistletoe berries poisonous? Most of the information available
suggests that at least some types of mistletoe as well as holly
have poisonous berries. However, the question appears to be
debatable. If you are concerned about berries, remove them from
the plant before hanging.
If you have a strong preference for mistletoe with or without
berries, please let us know when you order, and we will do our
best to accommodate your request.
return to top
When will I receive my Mistletoe?
We will pick, prepare and ship your mistletoe
fresh; usually, shipments go out within 1-2 business days. Fresh
lots of mistletoe are picked a couple times per week. We'll
notify you when your mistletoe ships and provide you with any
details we have of your shipment. Shipping methods available
are found below.
-Priority Mail is usually 2-3 days*
-Express Mail is guaranteed next day in most places.
Shipping cost depends on item and location.
*Source: USPS.com October 2008. Actual delivery
time may vary.
return to top
Will my order have a tracking number?
Yes! Priority Mail and Express Mail both include tracking
numbers. We'll e-mail you the tracking info as soon as we ship
your item.
return to top
When is the latest I can order?
We will be taking and shipping orders as late as December
18th (or while supplies last) in order to get mistletoe to you
by Christmas. Order early for more fun! Orders later in the
season should consider expedited shipping options.
return to top
I need to change the shipping address. How do I do that?
If the address in your confirmation e-mail from PayPal is
incorrect, please e-mail us as soon as possible to let us know
the correct mailing address. It's as easy as that.
Please check your address carefully. Items ship to the address
given to us by PayPal at check-out unless you let us know. We

Servus! Very excited to be attending Comic Action this year. This will be my first time in Germany (outside of airports) and I'm expecting it to be a blast!
Comic Action Essen, Germany 2012
Commissions List
Below you can find details for commissions for the show. Important note; The list will be open early tomorrow through the Panini Comics forums located here. Unfortunately I won't be taking any other requests at this time.
Aside from sketching at the show as well, I'll also be bringing along original art, a new sketchbook and some prints.
Vielen dank!
I'll be attending a few conventions this year. You can find them and their dates listed below. Click on the appropriate convention link for more info. Also keep reading for information on commissions.
I will be adding specific and updated information on each convention as they come up.
I will be trying to do pre-show commissions for each of these conventions. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the concept it goes like this; I draw commissions for you to be picked up at the convention. Simple.
These commission pieces will be single character images rendered in black and white greyscale markers on 11"x14" paper. I will post pricing details for each convention later. You can view some samples from previous years below;
Next I will be accepting pre-show commissions requests for Comic Con Paris. More information on that tomorrow. So please check back.

Arizona will be without 5 defensive starters in 2014, two of which coming from the defensive line in Sione Tuihalamaka and Tevin Hood. However with 4-star DT Marcus Griffin and a few other highly touted recruits coming to town, Arizona fans shouldn't fret, as this class brings a new era of Arizona defense. If you missed my latest article on Tevin Hood and his path to the NFL, check it out here.
Griffin is the 22nd ranked defensive tackle in the country according to Rivals, originally deciding to stay in-state and verbally committed to Washington State in April of his junior year. However in the fall of his senior year, Griffin started drawing attention from schools such as UCLA, Mississippi State and Arizona. With a few more offers from across the country, Griffin decided to decommit from Washington State and open up his recruiting process.
The Semper Fidelis All-American also drew some interest from Notre Dame and even set up a business trip to South Bend. However just days after setting the visit up, Griffin cancelled and decided that he wanted to visit Arizona instead. The rest is history as Griffin submitted his Letter of Intent to Arizona on National Signing Day.
Just by looking at his highlights above and his SEC size (6-3 300-pounds), Griffin will be a force on the defensive line as soon as he gets to Tucson. Reggie Gilbert will be back on the defensive line for his senior year and Arizona brings in former Boise State defensive tackle Jeff Worthy as well. The front 6 of the 3-3-5 will have a lot of new faces with the departures of Marquis Flowers and Jake Fischer. But look out for 4-star linebackers Jamardre Cobb and Marquis Ware, Salesian High School (Los Angeles, California) teammates, both heading to Tucson this summer.
