According to RedState, an online conservative news source, "KCarl Smith is one of the influential people in America you have never heard of. Most certainly, KCarl is one of the most important people grassroots conservatives and Republican Party leaders should be listening to right now."
A former U.S. Army officer, KCarl is the President and Founder of Frederick Douglass Republicans, an idea environment dedicated to empowering, equipping and training young conservative leaders.
As one of our leading conservative thinkers, KCarl is the author, Frederick Douglass Republicans: The Movement to Re-Ignite America's Passion for Liberty (with Dr. K. Clarence Smith, Sr.) Based on his best-selling book, KCarl ingeniously developed a proven and powerful strategy to tackle the biggest challenge facing the conservative movement?diversity engagement. It's called the Frederick Douglass Republican Methodology. In fact, in 2011, an upper level executive of the NAACP, who wishes to remain unidentified, read KCarl's book and commented, "If the message in KCarl's book gets on a national level, the Democrat Party would be toast and President Obama would be history."
It was KCarl's Frederick Douglass Republican message that inspired Louisiana State Senate Elbert Guillory's party switch from Democrat to Republican. Here's what Senator Guillory has to say about KCarl and the Frederick Douglass Republican message:
"A year ago, after months of soul searching and extreme discomfort with Democrat Party's stances on marriage, abortion, guns and work, KCarl helped me find comfort in the GOP's values. Then he helped me articulate my need to change. As I write these words, I recall my turmoil and pain and I thank God for sending KCarl to my rescue." - Senator Elbert Guillory
KCarl visits more than 15 colleges and universities a year. You may have seen KCarl on the 700 Club, The Blaze TV and FoxNEWS' Huckabee Show. He is featured in Rev. C.L. Bryant's Runaway Slave Documentary.
KCarl Smith is the Founder and President of the newly formed non-profit Frederick Douglass Institute for Liberty, additional information to come.

I'm absolutely loving this. I purchased in a light/medium. What I love about it is, it doesn't look like a stripe. It sort of blends from blush , to the concealer , to my eye liner and inner eye brightner. I'm such a TOUCHE eclate fan.... I may finally have found something I like better.

I use this BB cream everyday and i love it! I personally don't need a lot of coverage, and I would say this BB cream provides light to medium coverage. I love that it has an adequate amount of protection from the sun, because its important to protect your skin from the sun. It doesn't have any particularly strong smell, and it's very creamy and blendable. I use it every day to just even out my skintone, and it's my go-to face product. It lasts through my whole day, which is pretty impressive because i am a cheerleader and I tumble and stunt, etc. and it still stays on strong. I would definitely recommend this product, and i think it's worth the high price tag because of how well it works and the amount in each tube.

The finish is good and it controlled the oil in my skin well. But I find the coverage surprisingly heavy for a BB cream - it's thicker, for example, than LM Tinted Moisturiser. For me a BB cream should be light and natural, and this is much more foundation-like. For that reason I wouldn't buy again.

I'm a long-time user of Smashbox's tinted moisturizer, which is admittedly more sheer, but I still like my facial makeup to be more or less of a natural finish. The more seamless evening out of skin-tone I get with tinted moisturizer is lacking in this BB cream. It feels and looks thick and sometimes cakey if you're not properly exfoliated and moisturized. As it's now winter, my skin suffers from the dryness of indoor heating and from the harsh winds outside (regardless of exfoliation and liberal amounts of moisturizer), so I avoid using this product because it just clings to dry spots or flakey areas. Even in the summer, this BB cream feels heavy and as someone whose skin errs on the oilier side, I've found that it exacerbates any natural sheen so that instead of a healthy glow, you get a small oil-slick around your T-zone as the day progresses.

I received a kit that contained travel size versions of this product in the shade Fair, along with the Photo Finish Primer and Halo Powder. I've been using this BB Cream for a little over a month now and I have to say that I really like it! This is the first western BB Cream I've tried that is comparable to Asian BB Creams!
Claims: Wear alone or as a primer, evens out for flawless skin, improves skin moisture by hydrating, minimizes shine without looking chalky
Pros: Good color match for my pale pale skin
Small amount is needed so it feels light
Skin looks very natural and flawless
Lasts all day
Contains SPF
Controls oil fairly well
Cons: Very expensive
Have to use a primer underneath to help make it more blendable
Does not do a very good job at hydrating
So does it live up to its claims? Other than claiming to improve skin hydration, yes it does. It is a very lightweight product but can easily feel heavy if you put too much powder on. My skin looks very evened out and naturally flawless when I wear this BB Cream. I would recommend that you only powder where necessary and with a light hand. Not a very good product if you have very dry skin and are looking for hydration so be aware!

I got this in one of those holiday sample boxes from Sephora. I figured a BB cream would be better for my skin during the winter months as it is suppose to by hydrating. When I first put it on, it looked fantastic, however, as the day wore on it broke down and I started to look patchy. This was with a primer on underneath. It also did nothing to hydrate my skin. If anything, it dried my skin out. I would not recommend this product to anyone who has normal to dry skin.

I am both confused and disappointed after reading all of the bad/mediocre reviews of this product! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this bb cream. It's amazing. I've tried my fair share of bb/cc creams and this is BY FAR the best one I've tried for many reasons. I'm going to give you 3:
1. Great coverage. Not heavy, yet it covers what you need it to. It doesn't have that super heavy, gross foundation feeling. I hate that feeling. It looks natural, but better!! I just use concealer where I want extra coverage.
2. Controls my oiliness. It's not a super matte finish (which I tend to prefer tbh) but it does the job. I just put some powder over it and I'm good to go. I rarely touch up my make up through out the day (partially out of laziness) and also with this I DON'T NEED TO! :D
3. THE BEST REASON: I swear this bb cream helped clear up my skin & did not break me out whatsoever, which for me is a HUGE deal. I have the world's most sensitive skin. Practically every thing breaks me out and I struggled all last year trying to clear up my skin. I refused to even wear foundation and stuck to only powder for awhile because I gave up and then LOW AND BEHOLD this lovely product came into my life and BAM! My skin rarely has breakouts.
I have pretty fair skin, so I debated between the fair and light, but ended up going for the light shade. It actually matches my skin pretty much perfectly, and then I just set it with a powder. I bought my first bottle in May and it lasted me until about September, and I used that stuff EVERYDAY without fail, a little goes a long way. I'm on my second now & I still luuuuv it
Sorry about the essay of a review but I had to defend my favourite product!! :)

Heavy BB Cream. I bought this since I read that it had Medium coverage, but I think it's pretty heavy. The wrinkles showed more and made my makeup looked caked on. Good luck

Had high hopes for this but it was terrible! Stay away if your skin is dry or, especially, very dry!! It's a harsh winter here in the Midwest and within minutes of applying this, my face felt terribly tight and weird. I dashed off to work and was horrified to later find dry, cracked patches all over my nose, mouth and forehead! It was so embarrassing. Worse, as the day went on, this took on an ashy/gray look, separated, and felt even tighter on my face!

I bought this last summer because I wanted a lightweight, easy-to-travel-with, no fuss foundation. Typically, I love Smashbox, so this was a big disappointment.
I liked the consistency of the product. It's rather thick and creamy, which I prefer. That's pretty much where the good ends. The smell is odd, the coverage is sheer, it doesn't stay put, it oxidizes within an hour or two, it clings to dry patches, and can look cakey if too much is applied.
I know the coverage is supposed to be sheer, and to be fair, it does a decent enough job of evening the skin tone. However, it doesn't cover any discoloration. I guess I was hoping that the thicker consistency would mean a slightly heavier coverage than other tinted moisturizers/bb/cc creams. I was also hoping it would be more hydrating than it is. Oh well. I'll use it for running to the grocery store or working out, but I definitely won't be buying it again.

The English-language version of the game has been available since September 20th 2012 and has enjoyed a good reception from critics and gamers alike.
In other gaming news, established developer Digiarty Software has officially launched [
] the first online science fiction game to hit iOS.
Entitled Space Settlers, Digiarty's new game focuses on themes such as time, dark matter and the discovery of the God Particle in 2012. Amongst its features are real-time strategy, fortress attack and planet exploration. As an online game, it allows for interactive chat between multiple players taking part in intense battles together.
Requiring only 63.1MB of space on an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, Space Settlers is small in size, easy enough for even complete newcomers to pick up and join in and completely free to download from the iTunes store.
Also available for download onto iOS devices are a new selection of apps [
] designed to help children learn whilst keeping them entertained.
International Masters Publishers Ltd. and their digital subsidiary IMP Interactive have just formally announced the release of its three latest Kids Learning Apps: Great Bible Adventures, Monsterfacts and The World of Fairytales.
The three apps are all designed to add entertainment and adventure into children's education, aiding them as they develop basic skills such as reading, speaking and counting.

About me:
A businessman building awesome things with awesome people.
Use to work as a outdoor wilderness guide leader for University and helping people find there way around.
I tend to be pretty busy guy as a guest and a host so I am not around the house much and usually out exploring or working.
I love indulging in the art of conversation with new people. I'm also a pretty big introvert - so if nobody needs me for anything, I will happily be doing my own thing alone.
I enjoy cooking healthy food, walking, dancing, having dinner parties, and hosting good people from out of town.
I like hanging out with my neighbors who are really friendly and cool people.
I can't live without a laptop, sandals, tacos, floss, and my calendar.

Did you have the temperature gauge when you bought it?
Did it magically disappear when you drove it off the lot.
You can't complain about an accessory that the car never had.
The EX/EX-L has the exterior temperature gauge.
So if that was the breaking point for you, you should've gotten a different car, or a better model.
You are complaining about things that you should've known when you bought the car.
Obviously, this car is ill suited for you, and you should've gotten that bland Corolla.

This is the last time I'll write a blog about the king and queen - at least for a while.
I just wanted to pass this along. It's a short video clip, kind of a behind-the-scenes look, of their visit last month.
The video includes details such as the the king signing the official city guest book, which his parents did when they visited in 2001.
In case you're interested, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRwzMZxrhwI

It's difficult to describe the visual impacts of Niagara Falls. Not to mention the roaring sounds of millions of gallons of water pouring over the falls.
It's particularly difficult for a first-time visitor who might has a tendency over-dramatize a bit. And there were thousands of first-timers, including many foreigners, on the day we stood on the Canadian side and soaked up the unbelievable scenery.
We were wrong waiting for Monday to visit the falls, thinking the crowds would be smaller. It...

One of the advantages of RV travel is self-inflicted length of stay. Some warrant only an overnight. Places like Berlin, Ohio, are worthy of longer stays. In fact, Berlin is one of those places when visiting you would like to live here.
Five days are reserved at a hilltop campground just outside Berlin because the driver wants to load up on Amish fried chicken and passenger wants to investigate handmade Amish furniture. There went the new Buick.

Before leaving South Carolina we filled the Winnebago with $1.94 gasoline, by far the least expensive fuel to date, and headed north on Interstate 77 into West Virginia to the sounds of the late John Denver singing "Almost Heaven" on the radio. It was an eerie coincidence, albeit fitting.

Biting off more than one ( two in this case) can chew best describes our latest road trip plans.

Why Is Making Money Easy for Some but Difficult for Others
Why is making money and keeping money so easy for some, and yet so difficult for others? I've been helping people who struggle with money for almost two decades and I've noticed they all have one thing in common. Let me describe it this way—
Picture a line where one end represents being very creative and the other end represents being very structured. We all sit somewhere on this line. Some people are very creative but unstructured, while others are very structured but not very creative. The closer to the center of the line we are, the easier both money and life become.
For example, if a person is at the very structured end of the line, then they may have difficulty thinking outside of the box. So while they may manage what money they have well, they are unable to create a flow of abundance and could live a life which lacks the luster that spontaneity brings. If they learn skills and techniques that help them become more creative, then it creates new possibilities for them and is beneficial to their financial wellbeing.
Conversely, if a person is at the very creative end of the line, then they may have difficulty bringing creative ideas to fruition. So while they may be fun-loving, spontaneous, and visionary people, they never quite put their creative pieces together. If they learn skills and techniques that help them fit their ideas into the more structured format of the money system, then it creates new possibilities for them and is beneficial to their financial wellbeing.
Consider where you are on the line. The closer you are towards the center of creative/structured line, the easier making and keeping money becomes. Where we are on this line depends on our habits, patterns, and beliefs. Some of these have been inherited from family and others have been developed over time. We are more balanced individuals when we learn the skills that help us become more centered on this line. For creative-minded people, it means learning how to structure creative ideas. For the more detailed-minded people, it's a matter of learning techniques to help them think more creatively and outside the box.

The pair, who have no legal say in the matter but are probably worth listening to anyway, said that they were "dismayed and very disappointed" in the use of the avatar. "While we were aware of Kurt's image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn't know players have the ability to unlock the character."
Novoselic and Grohl then entreat Activision to "re-lock" the avatar so that it can only be used to play Nirvana songs. Which is a surprisingly even-handed request.

Capitol Hill-U.S. Grant moved to Saturday
While other games battled weather delays Friday night, Capitol Hill and U.S. Grant didn't even make it to kickoff.
Power lines bringing electricity to C.B. Speegle Stadium were snapped by harsh winds during the storm that moved through Oklahoma City.
Power is expected to be restored and the game will be played at 6 p.m. Saturday at Speegle Stadium, according to Oklahoma City Public Schools athletic director Keith Sinor.

Well, dude, you read my mind. Not only is it out of character, but it's out of place. A better line would have been for him to be silently shaking with anger, if he had to be that emotional at all. It was a great tear-jerking scene until this happened.
This too. And I liked that movie. It just seemed... unneccessary.
"I'm with Starfleet, we don't lie." ...is probably my overall choice.
The Borg Queen's "Was that good for you?" was pretty stupid, too.

The present invention relates to a vehicle storage system and especially a carriage which can be mounted in a vehicle for sliding to a position extending from the vehicle for holding storage bins and the like.
In the past it has been common for service oriented industry, such as plumbing, electrical, air-conditioning, and heating repair services to provide on-the-spot service from trucks or vans. Typically, vans and trucks are utilized which have been modified to attach various types of storage bins and facilities inside the vehicle for keeping repair parts and tools in an orderly fashion. A standard van will have various shelving, storage bins, and boxes mounted thereinside. This becomes unwieldly because one has to enter the van, which is not well lighted, to search for repair parts or the correct tools for a particular job and which is invariably full of other necessary unwieldly equipment used by the tradesman, such as pipes, ladders, hoses, and the like to be used or installed by the tradesman. To overcome this problem the present invention is directed towards a van or paneled truck which has a modular sliding carriage storage system which attaches to the vehicle body or frame and maintains storage bins or displays units on peg board or slotted panels. The panel is anchored to a sliding frame, sliding in a fixed suspension fixedly attached to the inside of the vehicle, so that the panels and storage bins can be slid in suspension out the back or side door of a van. The sliding carriage needs to be locked in place when in transit and to be able to be quickly unlocked for sliding the carriages out so access can be gained to the storage bins from outside of the vehicle thereby offering considerable time savings to the operator.
Typical prior U.S. patents having sliding racks, panels or tables may be seen in U.S. Pat. No. 3,826,529 to Wood, for a truck body with suspension rack in which the side of a pickup truck has a rack for tools mounted thereon and which is slid backwards for better access to a tool chest. In U.S. Pat. No. 1,720,260, to Bowen, Jr., et al, a vending and self service storage unit is provided with a series of sliding panels. In U.S. Pat. No. 2,784,027 to Temp, a drawer unit for pick-up trucks allows the bottom of the pick-up truck to be slid outwards from the pick-up truck. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,640,423, to Parker, et al., a tool box for pick-up trucks has a hinged cover. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,305,695, to Zachrick, a rollout tray for a panel truck bed is provided for extending from the back of a truck on casters and has a drop down support for the horizontally positioned trays. In the Truelove, Sr., U.S. Pat. No. 3,534,892, a utility rack for station wagons is provided, while in the Zelin patent, U.S. Pat. No. 3,726,422, a similar sliding luggage rack for a wagon is provided with legs. In the Tuohy, III, U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,326, a rolling tool box is provided on the back of a pick-up truck while in the Weber patent, U.S. Pat. No. 3,698,565, a display panel for merchandise allows display panels to get attached along a wall. In contrast to these prior patent the present invention provides a modular unit which has the entire unit bolted into a vehicle, such as a van or panel truck, and provided a suspension vertically extending carriage which locks in the van and locks in an extended position extending from the van for easy access to storage bins or the like.
The present invention relates to a vehicle storage system mounted in a vehicle, such as a paneled truck, van or the like, and includes a vehicle body having a vertically suspended framework attached to the vehicle body. Two channels are horizontally supported on the framework and support a sliding carriage slidably mounted in the channel and supported thereby for sliding in the channels from a first position in the vehicle to a second position extending from the vehicle. A sliding carriage has a panel attached thereto having attaching means such as slots or openings for attaching a plurality of storage bins or other storage members thereto for sliding therewith. Rollers are mounted to the channels and to the sliding carriage for allowing the carriage to slide in and out and a locking cable allows a locking pin to be actuated from outside the vehicle to lock the carriage in the channels in the vehicle and to be unlocked for allowing the carriages to slide on the channels to extend from the vehicle and then to lock the sliding carriage in its extended position. Stops are also provided in the channels and in the sliding carriage to prevent the carriage from extending pass the end of the supporting channels.
Other objects features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the written description and the drawings in which;
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle having a storage panel attached thereto in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a exploded view of the modular sliding storage system for attaching to a vehicle;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a partial perspective of the panel taken on the circle 4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5--5 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 6 is a partial elevation taken on the line 6--6 of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken on the line 7--7 of FIG. 2.
Referring to the drawings, FIGS. 1 through 7, a vehicle or service van 10 is shown in FIG. 1 having wheels 11, sides 12, a top body portion 13, a rear bumper 14 and floor 15. A modular vehicle interior storage panel system 16 is mounted on one side of the inside 17 and includes a pair of vertically suspended frame members 18 and 20 having top brackets 21 and being attached with bolts 22 or other fastening members as desired. The bottom of frame members 18 and 20 have feet 23 and attach with bolts or other fasteners 24. A pair of horizontal channels 25 and 26 are mounted top and bottom respectively to the frame members 18 and 20 at predetermined parallel spaced positions and have a sliding carriage 27 slidable therein. The slidable carriage 27 has a front vertical frame member 28, top horizontal frame member 30, a bottom horizontal frame member 31 and a rear vertical member 32 and includes a panel 33 mounted to the frame and having a plurality of flat hooks 34 for attaching a plurality of storage bins 35, or the like, thereto. It should be clear that the panel 33 can have peg board or other attaching means in lieu of hooks 34 for attaching storage bins 35, as well as display cases and any other removably attachable units. The sliding carriage 27 has a handle 36 attached to the frame member 28 and a release handle 37 adjacent to handle 36 and connected through the frame member 28.
In FIG. 1 a modular vehicle storage system 16 is shown mounted to a vehicle 10 and has been slid out on its suspension system through a door 39 opened to an open position. It should of course be clear that a similar storage system can be mounted on the other wall 12 of the van, as well as behind the front seat of the van 10 for sliding out a side door. A sliding carriage 27 can be slid back into the van on the channels members 25 and 26 by pushing on the handle 36 until it is fully retracted in the van at which time it is spring latched to the frame member 26 as hereinafter described. The door 39 can then be closed with the secured storage panel positioned in the van and the van driven to the next work site.
As more clearly seen in FIG. 2, the carriage framework 27 has two intermediate vertical frame supports 38 and 40 connected between the slidable carriage bottom frame member 31 and the slidable carriage top frame member 30 for additional support of the carriage. The handle 37 is connected through a sliding cable 41 passing through an oopening 42 in member 3B and through an opening 43 in the frame member 40 and into frame member 32 and through a clamp 49. The cable 41 then extends down the frame member 32 and is connected to a locking pin 45. As seen in FIG. 5, the locking pin 45 slides in a sleeve 46 and is spring loaded with a spring 47. Locking pin 45 slides through an aperture 48 while the spring 47 is compressed between the inside of frame member 31 and a washer 50 attached to the locking pin 45. The cable 41 has an outer sleeve 51 and an inner sliding cable 52 and has the outer sleeve portion 51 bolted to a bracket 53 with a pair of nuts 54 and 55. The locking pin 45 extends into aligned openings 59 in the bottom channel 26 which has on opening in each end portion thereof for locking the suspension sliding carriage 27 in either a position inside the van or an extended position extending from the van as shown in FIG. 1. The bottom channel 26 has a suspension frame 69 mounted on one end thereof with a pair of ball rollers 57 and 58 and a guide 56. The guide 56 guides against the sides of the bottom channel 31 while the ball rollers 57 and 58 allow the channel 31 to roll thereon. The top channel 25 has horizontal roller thrust bearing 70 and a guide 71 mounted to one end thereof.
The sliding carriage 27 top frame member 30 and bottom frame member 31 have pivoted members 63 at the opposite end from the rollers mounted on channel 26 and includes ball rollers 61 and 62 and guides 60 as shown in FIG. 3 and in FIG. 6. The ball rollers 61 and 62 and the guides 60 are mounted to support members 63 which are pivotably mounted to channels 30 and 31 with a pivot bolt 64. The ball rollers 61 and 62 may have a bolt 65 extending from the bottom thereof for attachment with a nut 66 to the pivoted member 63. The pivoted member 63 can be attached to frame members 30 and 31 with bolt 64 supporting a pivoting sleeve 67 enabling it to pivot while carriage 27 is moving in and out of vehicle 10.
The sliding carriage 27 has a latch releasing handle 37 pulled to release the locking pin 45. The carriage can be slid in the channels 25 and 26 with the guides 56, 60 and 71 guiding the carriage 27 in the channels until the support member 63 on channel 30 bumps against the stop 72 which prevents further extension of the carriage 27. The carriage 27 is also suspended on the ball rollers 57, 58, 61 and 62. When fully extended the locking pin 45 locks in an aperture in the channel 26 to hold the carriage in place in an extended position. To return the carriage 27, handle 36 can be grasped and the handle 37 pulled to release the pin 45 from the aperture in the channel 26 to slide the carriage 27 on the channels 25 and 26 back into the van until the pivoted member 63 on channel 30 bumps against bolt 73 on the channel 25 thereby limiting the movement of carriage 27. Removing a bolt 73 allows the carriage 27 to be slid out of the frame members 25 and 26 and removed or reinserted as desired. The locking pin 45 can then slide in on aperture 59 in the channel 26 to lock the sliding carriage 27 in place.
Advantageously, the sliding storage carriage 27 can have different size bins 35 or display units quickly attached and removed to the peg board or other panel 33 for keeping spare parts, tools, or other items, sorted as desired for quick access from outside the van while working on a project. The present invention, however, should not be considered limited to the forms shown which are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.

The Education of Charlie Banks, which marks the directorial debut of Limp Bizkit's front-man Fred Durst, is a riveting tale about college students learning to deal with life, love, and ultimately facing their fears. This coming-of-age drama spans from the playgrounds of Greenwich Village to the idyllic greens of Vassar College.
The nervous charisma of indie leading man Jesse Eisenberg (The Squid and the Whale, Adventureland) carries The Education of Charlie Banks, a story of doomed ambition, hopeless yearning, and lingering guilt. When teenaged Charlie Banks (Eisenberg) witnessed a handsome bully named Mick (Jason Ritter, Freddy Vs. Jason) beat up two other boys, he tells the police--but then, feeling like a rat, withdraws his testimony so that Mick gets released. A few years later, when Mick suddenly appears at Charlie's dorm for a visit, Charlie lives in dread that his betrayal will be revealed. But as Mick successfully woos the girl Charlie's in love with, Charlie and Mick grown enmeshed in mutual envy and reluctant admiration. The Education of Charlie Banks aspires to be a preppy version of The Great Gatsby (just to make that clear, the characters twice make references to F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel), peppered with philosophical allusions to Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida. Unfortunately, despite Charlie and Mick's backstory, these kids just don't have enough of a past to seem driven or haunted--they just flounder like any other bunch of boozing, horny college students. Mick comes across as a junior-varsity Tom Ripley, more stalker than star-crossed. Still, it's a surprisingly smooth-flowing movie from Fred Durst, the former lead singer of rap-metal band Limp Bizkit. Also featuring Eva Amurri (Saved!). --Bret Fetzer

Microsoft said to be cutting prices of Windows Server 2003 custom support contracts
Microsoft ended support for Windows Server 2003 earlier this week. Those still on the OS who need continued support may have some bargaining power.
Microsoft ended support for Windows Server 2003 earlier this week. Those still on the OS who need continued support may have some bargaining power.
The Ubuntu version of the Intel Compute Stick will be released next week but comes with significantly less memory and storage than the Windows version.
The French device maker joins Lenovo and Intel in offering a miniature system that connects to your HDTV via HDMI, but its version is cheaper and will ship with Windows 10 pre-installed.
The estimated retail pricing of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro -- which falls outside the bounds of the Windows 10 first-year-free promotion -- matches what Microsoft charged for Windows 8.1 Home and Pro.
A major software reseller in the U.S. has begun taking preorders for Windows 10 OEM software, in the process leaking prices and the apparent availability date of the software. Surprisingly, Microsoft is actually raising OEM prices in this cycle.
If your Windows Store app is more expensive than a comparable rivals, Microsoft may give it the boot.
In yet another sign that Windows 10 is hurtling toward its official release at full speed, Nvidia has released Microsoft-signed certified drivers for Windows 10. They've got a leg up on their two main rivals, AMD and Intel.
Starting at $179, the tiny PC lineup runs Windows 8.1 and is powered by Intel Celeron or Pentium processors.
Microsoft is taking the wraps off its SKU line-up for Windows 10. But it still isn't sharing many feature, pricing or licensing specifics.
After debuting its PC-on-a-HDMI-adapter at CES, the chip giant is readying it for shipment -- and has already delivered the first wave of units to tech reviewers.
The company's recent results suggest a slowdown in firms leaving the ancient OS behind and upgrading to new systems. Why won't they update?
Microsoft isn't alone in trying to milk existing business slow enough for its cloud business to offset declines. But Windows' rapidly plunging price isn't helping matters.
The mobile devices include a pair of Ultrabooks and feature optional palm-based biometric security features.
Microsoft shared a bit of its pricing strategy for Windows 10, and provided he first public demonstration of Windows 10 mobile.
The software helps users move files from their Android, iOS, and Windows devices to an Intel-powered laptop running the Chrome OS.
The Stylistic Q555 is a "semi-rugged" 10-inch 2-in-1 device, while the Stylistic Q335 is an 8-inch tablet. Both are available with either Windows 8.1 with Bing or Windows 8.1 Pro.
The 12.5-inch convertible laptop will include an Intel Core M processor, full HD display, and detachable keyboard. Pricing remains a mystery, however.
How low can the price of a Windows PC go? At this week's IFA show in Berlin, PC makers are rolling out new PCs with outrageously aggressive pricing. Here's how they're cutting costs.
Talk about Chromebooks and the conversation will eventually turn to the threat they are to Microsoft and Windows 8. That is true, but the lowly laptop from Google may be a bigger concern for Intel.
The 10.1-inch device includes a separate keyboard to convert it into a laptop or tiny all-in-one desktop as well as coming with a protective sleeve.

It went down for a few hours, delayed some emails, came back up again.
Even 6 sigma is not 100%
It worked, and was OK as long as you didn't try to do 2 things at once lol
But that's what you get for taking a (then) mini computer OS and trying to put it on a micro (16MHz 8086 IIRC) PC
"That's assuming one is allowed to uninstall it..."
But surely it's my computer and I can install/uninstall whatever I want?
(sorry not much experience of Windows for the past 14 years)
"Which companies can afford to take a chance to migrate backend services to unknown, probably incompatible systems?"
Ummmm, let me think, The White House, Ernie Ball, The US Navy, The French Parliment, The Czech Post Office, The Dutch Police, Peugeot, The London Stock Exchange...
It's a big list!
Matt, KDE 3 was mentioned as it was the first desktop environment I used with Linux. I was gobsmacked that I could split my activities between several screens. 1 for software development, 2 for emails, 3 for documentation, 4 for el Reg etc etc
I'm aware that there are 3rd party utilties/hacks but if you are in a mega-corp environment then it's doubtfull you would be able to install them and most domestic non-power users probably wouldn't even be aware of the concept.
Ken, I'm shocked that you turn it off! But each to his own way of working
Windows now has multiple desktops????
So it's only taken 8 years to catch up with KDE 3 (it may be more but I only started with lInux in 2007)
I have to use Windows occasionaly and it's sooooo frustrating having everything imprisoned on the same screen.
'Windows 10 for the Raspberry Pi 2 will be available for free for the maker community via Microsoft's Windows Developer Program for IoT.'
What is this 'Maker Community' you speak of? Is it something to do with this MSDN/Technet thing?
Can anyone download Windows 10 for the Pi? Or do I have to sign a restrictive licence agreement before MS will give me anything?
I've not touched Windows for years apart from compatiblity testing but i'm always open to ideas, will there be a 'Home Crippled' version that is as small as Minibian?
"Can we knock this 'lack of support' fable on its head for once and for all.
Let's say you find a bug or a problem with Windows $THIS_WEEK'S_VERSION and you contact Microsoft. Do you seriously expect them to support you with a fix?!"
Do you not get a bunch of people offering advice, support and bug fixes?
I do...
But then I use Linux
'the cat rebooted the router'
Why did you let the cat have root access?????
' We can leverage the synergies into a new paradign of strategisation'
Your server OS has a graphical interface?
A great book.
I could also recommed 'The Art of Coarse Office Life' by Michael Green.
Ahhhhh you need the Internet Of Things
The mower could use your wi-fi to access a weather forecast and decide when to operate.
As this is not perfect you could then give it a link to your home weather station to determine local conditions.
The burglar alarm could be integrated to give it patio door status and/or room movement detector outputs, thus giving an indication of people in the house/garden.
OK, who blinked?
I for one would be surprised if my iron suddenly started asking me for a wi-fi password.
My wife would be equally surprised if she found me ironing :-S

You sir, have just made me deposit a major part of a Coronation Chicken sandwich in my keyboard!
"...Really?? ... you think running android on what aver phone trains you up for using Linux on a computer?..."
In some ways yes, it introduces you to the concept of downloading and installing software as a data package from a single signed and trusted source rather than the Windows way of downloading and running executables from random locations on the Internet.
One of the reasons why Windows is full of malware.
"I am still wondering how they get to 200,000km/h with a jet only doing 90,000km/h. Superman might be involved."
Because the 200,000 km/h is relative to the speed of the start point. The 90,000 km/h is relative to the spacecraft.
I've never seen so many articles and comments about a user interface!!!!!!
If you don't like the standard UI for Windows 8 then just change it! Install KDE, Cinnamon, LXDE, Xfce or one of a dozen others.
If it's the window manager that's a problem then just change it. Kwin, Metacity, Fluxbox. They all have their pros and cons but there must be one you like and get comfortable with.
It's not very bloody difficult!
............... Ummm, you can do this with Windows can't you??????
"Tablets are also in used on the ISS, but they are not as useful as here on Earth since, according to NASA, the accelerometers don't work in zero G."
Surely the accelerometers do work in "zero G". They do exactly what they were designed to do.
You Sir....
Are an engineer!
.>>And whether it's "ls" or "dir" to you!
>Both work in Linux duh!

Or csh or sh or whatever command interpreter we want!
"Now just imagine Windows XP was free software, or you would at least get the source code with it. You could then hire a programmer to maintain it for you. You wouldn't need to care whether Microsoft still supports it or not. If there's a bug you could just pay someone to backport the bugfix to your version. Or you could even "mix" your own Windows version gradually swapping components so you are still compatible with your old software."
That's a brilliant idea, now what could you call it, something rhyming with 'ix perhaps?
... the headline was enough!
"The Windows Store introduces a model in which regular updates are a normal part of using software"
I'll just correct that for you......
"The Windows Store copies the Linux model in which regular updates are a normal part of using software"
' Sorry, but sulphur, phosphorus, carbon, "it was probably wet, maybe with water" and "could have" are scientific proof of nothing.
Still no direct, or indirect, evidence of complex hydrocarbons, which could prove the existence of a more complex chemical process, which, in turn, could be circumstantially associated with metabolic processes normally associated here on planet Earth with life.
In other words, nothing new that we didn't already know last week.'
You are quite right, but....
Statements like these make more funding available

Ohhhh, the first REAL editor I used, I loved it.
To this day the only way I can remember how to spell the word 'brief' is to mutter Basic Reconfigurable Interactive Editing Facility under my breath.
'One user of the ADSL service went public to report that his or her download speeds dropped to 2Mbps:'
2Mbps? Where do I sign up?

Thanks for livening up a very dull afternoon!
What would have happened to the guy who sculpted the Wote Street Willy in Basingstoke then?
Given that there are only 2 measurements defined and the 3rd is ambiguous really destroys this as a unit of volume.
Unless of course you make it at least as deep as 2 elephants, half fill it, then submerge aforesaid elephant in it and measure the water displacement to find the volume of an elephant!
Thus we can use the same descriptor as a measure of either volume or weight depending on the context :-)
OK, I'll get my coat.......

I'm sending you the bill for getting my cocoa and hobnobs out of my keyboard!

Free Beer & Hot Wings Talk to Jim Gaffigan About 'The Dukes Of Hazzard', the Duggars, and More (Audio)
This morning on the show, Free Beer & Hot Wings talked to comedian, actor and author Jim Gaffigan! Jim has a new show on Wednesday nights on TV Land, "The Jim Gaffigan Show", with reruns airing on Thursday nights on Comedy Central.
Jim talked about his process of writing a TV show with his writing partner: his wife! We also blamed him for the Dukes of Hazzard being taken off TV Land, since that's the channel his new show airs on. Jim is a father of five, so we also wanted to know if he's planning on having a bunch more kids and taking on the Duggars.

Hulk Hogan's First WWE Fight is a Sight to Behold (Video)
When people think about professional wrestling, Hulk Hogan is one person who immediately comes to mind. Many of his "legendary" matches still excite professional wrestling fans, but a lot of people don't know about his humble beginning.
The Hulkster made his debut in 1979 against some no name who's probably dead by now. Hogan busted out his famous moves such as a punch to the head, body slam and suplex. However, this was before he started doing the most devastating, deadly move: the leg drop.
MTV Has a New Show All About What it's Like to be White

This is the Weirdest Japanese Game Show Yet! [Video]
Back in April, we talked about a new Japanese gameshow where contestants would attempt to sing karaoke while receiving HJs from attractive women. We thought, at the time, that we had finally reached the peak of weirdness for TV shows. Turns out that's not the case.
There's a new Japanese game show set to premiere soon, and its title loosely translates to The Handjob Competition.
