Born after 1996, Generation Z already represents $44 billion in discretionary spending and are an interesting blend of the traditional and the nonconformist. Steve Wilson explains the key characteristics that make up Gen Z and how brand marketing and retail will need to shift to appeal to them.
MarketSource Blog
Service companies seem to have recognized that their traditional call in, online, and door to door methods are no longer as effective as they need to be. This new Omnichannel approach breaks the mold on traditional retail and sales models.
Many companies today are outsourcing their sales teams for a variety of reasons.
Employee retention is a critical affair, particular in sales and marketing.

Vista Registry - Change the Name of Your Computer Icon
Vista Registry - Change the Name of Your Computer Icon
The idea behind this registry tweak is to adjust the label under the computer icon, which you see on the Vista desktop. The result is that the name reflects the true username and computername. For example, guyt (username) at Vista-Ultimata (computername).
Please note, unlike the cheap-shot where you just rename the Computer icon; this tip dynamically adjusts the name for each user who logs on.
Topics for Changing the Name of the Computer Icon
Preliminary Step
Before you try this impressive registry tweak, make sure that the Vista desktop displays the Computer icon. Right-click the desktop, Personalize and select: Change Desktop Icons. This tip also works for XP and W2K3, in these cases, make sure that you display the 'My Computer' on the desktop.
Instructions for LocalizedString
The mission is to find a specific class id (CLSID) in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and then change the value for LocalizedString from 'Computer' to a variable which will reflect the user who logs on to this particular computer.
Launch Regedit and navigate thus:
0) Precaution: Rename the existing value:
1) Create a new VALUE. Note type should be Expanded String Value. Name it: LocalizedString
2) Edit the 'Value data'. I double click LocalizedString, then click in the dialog box and type: %Username% at %Computername%
Incidentally, you could choose more creative words in place of 'at'. For example, 'King of' or 'Queen of'.
3) To see the fruits of your labours, just press F5 to refresh the desktop, your computer icon should now say the equivalent of: YourName at YourComputer.(See screenshot at the top of this page).
Another Screen Shot of Vista's Regedit
Here is a panoramic view of the registry, which shows regedit displaying the REG_EXPAND_SZ LocalizedString.
Recommended: Solarwinds' Permissions Analyzer - Free Active Directory Tool
I like the Permissions Analyzer because it enables me to see WHO has permissions to do WHAT at a glance. When you launch this tool it analyzes a users effective NTFS permissions for a specific file or folder, and takes into account network share access, then displays the results in a nifty desktop dashboard!
Think of all the frustration that this free SolarWinds utility saves when you are troubleshooting authorization problems for user's access to a resource. Give this permissions monitor a try - it's free!
Download SolarWinds' Free Permissions Analyser - Active Directory Tool
Key Learning Points
** HKLM is an abbreviation of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, and HKCU is shorthand for HKEY_CURRENT_USER. These acronyms are so well-known that you can even use them in .reg files, Vista will understand and obey the registry instruction.
This page explains how to create, and then edit .reg files for your computer. As it's easy to import the contents of a .reg file into the registry, do take extra care with procedures. Example LocalizedString .reg file.

RAFAEL TORAL (Lissabon, Staubgold/Tomlab/Touch)
Toral plays experimental electronic instruments. Strongly interested in
phrasing, he calls his style "post-free jazz electronic music", once
described as "a brand of electronic music far more visceral and emotive
than that of his cerebral peers". Toral's innovative Space Program,
while researching performance possibilities, delivers music that is
full of clarity, articulating silence and sound in a thoughtful, yet
physical way.
Formerly known for his drone/ ambient work with
guitar and electronics and acclaimed records such as Wave Field (1994)
or Violence of Discovery and Calm of Acceptance (2000), in 2003 he
decided to completely renew his approach to music, launching the Space
Program in 2004.
Solo 1 in 2007 and Space Elements Vol. I in 2008. Also in 2008
premiered the Space Collective, a slowly developing orchestral group.< the course of his work, collaborating with other musicians has been a
decisive factor in learning and development. Among these, the most
important is a long time connection with Sei Miguel (since 1993),
Portuguese master of avant-Jazz, a key figure in the development of the
Space program. In 1998 Rafael became a member of MIMEO electronic
orchestra, a forum where surprising and uncontrollable events take
place. Often described as a 'supergroup', its other members are Keith
Rowe, Thomas Lehn, Kaffe Matthews, Marcus Schmickler, Jérome Noetinger,
Christian Fennesz, Peter Rehberg, Gert-Jan Prins, Cor Fuhler and Phil
Durrant. Throughout his path, Rafael Toral has kept collaborating with
other people, among which are Jim O'Rourke, Evan Parker, John Edwards,
Joe Morris, Tatsuya Nakatani, Manuel Mota, Roger Turner, David Toop,
Alvin Lucier, John Zorn, Phill Niblock, Christian Marclay, Sonic Youth,
João Paulo Feliciano, Rhys Chatham, Lee Ranaldo, C Spencer Yeh, Trevor
Tremaine, Dean Roberts and many others.
An artist as well, he
had activity in visual and spatial arts, having produced video and
several installations from 1994 to 2003. The demanding Space Program
called for suspending this output for fully focusing on music.
Rafael Toral has performed throughout Europe, Canada, USA, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand and Australia.

FROST & FIRE is the new solo project of musician Matteo Gambacorta.
Originally from a small town set in the foothills of the italian Alps,
Matteo now lives in Gothenburg and is actively involved in the local
music scene playing in different bands (Spiders and Bow&Arrow) and
collaborating with a number of clubs and venues.
FROST & FIRE`s music is mainly instrumental acoustic guitar. A mixture of
american Raga-Folk (a musical genre pioneered in the 1960s by famous
finger-picking masters as John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Walker etc.)
and 1960s British Folk Revival folk guitarists as Bert Jansch, Robin
Williamson and Davy Graham.
Elements of renaissance lute music,
indian and middle-east free improvisation and drone minimalism are also
present in the music of FROST & FIRE.
from 2000 to 2006, Matteo was at the head of the italian
indiefolk/alt.country band MIDWEST, recording and touring in Italy and
The debut album, released in 2002 and titled Town &
Country, succesfully introduced them to the european indierock scene,
receiving great reviews from magazines and newspapers. In particular,
the english press (Mojo, Uncut, Time Out, The Sunday Times, The Sunday
Telegraph and others) noticed the band as one of the most promising
european indiefolk acts. A second record followed in 2005, named
Whatever You Bring We Sing. Influenced by the attitude and sound of the
late 60s, the album again revealed the different aspects of Midwest's
music, acoustic and traditional yet melodic and experimental.

There is no 100 % guarantee the laptop or PC works regulary.
So in this case how to protect our works,large modifications in projects,a lot of time maybe we are working??? Solution is:
Automatic Saves
You should save your drawing or template immediately after you begin work.Then save every 10 minutes (it is default) or you can change often or rare it depends by you.
Command: savetime
Enter new value for SAVETIME <10>: 10>
AutoCAD provides an automatic save tool that automatically creates a temporary backup file during a work session.See the figure below you can change the minutes..
As you show the default settings automatically saves every 10 minutes.By default ,AutoCAD names automatically saved files *.sv$ in the C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp folder for you I recomande to change this path for easy access this files. Change the path..go to File-->Options-->Files--Automatic Save File Location .. click Browse button as showed below and go to your desired folder..
The Automatic save features is inteded for use in AutoCAD shuts down unexpectedly ect.
By default,the next time you open AutoCAD after a system failure, the Drawing Recovery Manager displays ,containing a node for every file to display all of the available versions of the file:The original file,the recovered file saved at the time of system failure,the automatic save file,and the .bak file..

Wholesale customers are demanding more product choices than ever before.
The answer why is simple. Buyers demand choice because they can.
Lower barriers to market entry for start-up distributors and accelerated global competition continue to expand supplier options for wholesale customers.
And choice is growing at the product level as well. Manufacturers aren't just bringing all-new products to market. They're also atomizing existing product offerings to target market niches. Single products are becoming product families, as new versions are spun off based on secondary product attributes or variations in packaging.
annual SKU proliferation rates of 30%+ within product categories.
To keep up and continue to satisfy customer demands, many distributors find themselves pulled into a continuous cycle of product catalog growth.
Incremental though the change may be, SKU proliferation comes at a cost. Every expansion in inventory creates additional complexity and deepens the threat to overall efficiency and profitability.
Management challenges associated with SKU proliferation include:
- Pressure on the efficiency and accuracy of warehouse operations. Stocking additional SKUs creates more complex picking operations, decreasing efficiency and increasing the probability of errors.
- Difficulty predicting demand and optimizing stock levels. As manufacturers divide products into individual variations and versions, the sample size of historical sales data shrinks on a per SKU level. With less data and more volatility in inventory movement, demand planning for optimal stock levels becomes increasingly difficult.
- Increased administrative work in the purchasing department. A shift toward more sales occurring further into the long tail of the product catalog means proportionally more resupply orders for the purchasing department to execute.
Failing to adequately address the challenges presented by SKU proliferation inevitably subtracts from the bottom line. Out-of-stock items, delayed deliveries, and back orders dent customer retention rates. Inventory oversupplies inflate warehouse expenses and lead to higher costs for the disposal of unsold product. Inefficiencies in the purchasing department and warehouse drive up labor costs.
The acceleration in the trend towards SKU proliferation is a challenge for any distributor. Small and mid-size distributors, though, often have further to go in addressing it.
At the enterprise distribution level, sophisticated warehouse management and supply chain software is part of the cost of admission to compete. Smaller distributors have traditionally had a bit more leeway with regard to investing in supply chain software. For some, it's even been possible to forego the efficiencies associated with software automation in order to limit the capital expenditure required to acquire and maintain the technology.
SKU proliferation is changing the formula, though, by adding operational complexity in lower revenue volume distribution businesses. Additionally, the need to embrace online multi-channel sales is exerting a similar influence in terms of making every day operational and financial management more complex.
To profitably manage increased complexity, supply chain software automation is becoming—if it isn't already—a necessity for distributors of all sizes. As a result, one of the primary factors determining the winners and losers in the distribution industry for the foreseeable future will be the willingness of individual organizations to adapt to and embrace technological change.
Warehouse optimization software
Software designed to streamline product movement activities can help lessen the strain on efficiency brought about by carrying a greater variety of SKUs.
Warehouse space planning and slotting features
Positioning high turn inventory for maximum accessibility is a foundation of sound warehouse management strategy. But SKU proliferation is making it more difficult in two significant ways.
First, as single products are repositioned as multiple product variations, products that were once top sellers are being split into multiple moderate or low selling alternatives. This phenomenon is exerting a flattening force across the inventory catalog and lessening the inventory turn differentiation between products.
Second, as more niche products are created and tested for market viability, product lifecycles are shortening. The result is faster product obsolecence and more variability in the warehouse.
Software designed to plan and monitor warehouse space usage provides the responsiveness required to keep up with dynamic product trends and the sensitivity to adapt to changes that might elude more manual attempts at optimization.
Pick and putaway path routing
Order pickers spend about 60 percent of their time walking or moving product. No matter how logical the initial decision-making on the warehouse locations of individual items, the sequencing of picking and putaway orders significantly impacts warehouse efficiency.
Supporting pick and putaway path routing is a complicated task. Beyond upfront licensing costs, gaining the advantage of software automation also requires investing in extensive software configuration and integration of data from applications providing the raw order information. For many distributors, though, cost savings generated by cutting the amount of warehouse labor required to handle inventory can far surpass the software investment costs.
Statistical demand planning
As SKUs proliferate, demand planning for optimal stock levels becomes more difficult. Software-based demand planning helps with the critical tasks of identifying non-performing inventory SKUs and avoid overstocking.
While it's easy enough to recognize the benefits of statistical demand planning, it's more difficult to pull together the disparate data sources required to put it into effect. Accurate demand planning involves establishing adequate system integration to gather historical data on order volumes and inventory turns, while combining it with continually updated forecasts from frontline sales personnel.
Software systems that encompass the order management, inventory control, and sales forecasting functionality necessary for data-driven demand planning in a single product can offer advantages in supportability and reduce the on-going IT software support costs related to maintaining these applications.
Purchasing automation
For distributors experiencing volatile purchasing patterns because of inventory profiles that are broader than they are deep, purchasing automation can help prevent supply chain disruptions.
Reorder automation and alerts
In advanced systems, integration between inventory control and purchasing enables the opportunity to automatically trigger purchase orders when stock deplenishment thresholds are met. Most software set-ups rely on custom alerts, where purchasing agents have final order submission authority, rather than 100% automated tactics. Regardless, the ability to automate much of the busy-work associated with order creation can create significant time savings.
Blanket purchase orders
In many situations, blanket POs help bypass time-consuming requisition and approvals processes, while providing a mechanism to accommodate unpredictable purchasing patterns.
Advanced supply chain software isn't required, of course, to cut blanket purchase orders. But managing blanket purchase orders can be a major headache without adequate software to handle the data tracking and accounting irregularities that can result when relying on blanket POs.
The fundamental challenge related to gaining the cost saving advantages of a just-in-time inventory model is tightening the supply chain to avoid delays and out-of-stock occurrences. While many advance purchasing software features are designed to speed internal processes, EDI goes a step further and offers the ability to create external efficiencies in the supply chain by delivering orders to suppliers in a format that does not require them to manually submit them into their own fulfillment process.

Tomato, lemon and avocado salad with lemon cream dressing
Nothing else has the tomato's versatile combination of savoury and sweet, says Lauraine Jacobs. The following recipe is a family favourite that is included in my repertoire thanks to my mother. It is a very refreshing salad that's perfect for a barbecue.
|1 kg
|100 ml
|1 to taste
|Salt & freshly ground pepper
|¼ cup
|Basil leaves
|¼ cup
|Mint leaves
- Slice the tomatoes and lay them on a flat or shallow serving platter. Remove the skin and stone from the avocados and slice neatly. Lay these slices over the tomatoes.
- Peel one of the lemons with a knife, removing all the skin and pith. Cut into tiny wedges and sprinkle over the tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Grate the zest of the remaining lemon over the tomatoes.
- To make the dressing, mix the cream with the juice of the second lemon, adding salt and pepper to taste. Allow this to stand for about 10 minutes to thicken the cream.
- Drizzle this over the salad and finally strew the torn leaves of basil and mint to garnish.

|Carpentry for Vocational Schools - A Teachers Handbook
The concrete consists of Cement, Fine aggregate. Rough aggregate and Water. Concrete is used to make concrete slabs, wall foundation, septic tanks etc...
a) Cement: The most commonly used cement is Portland Cement. Cement itself is a grey powder which is made up of limestone, clay and marl. In the cement factory the raw material (limestone, clay, marl) are crushed. Afterwards these go through the raw mill for simultaneous grinding and drying of the raw material. If this process is done the raw material becomes raw meal and the raw meal is ready now for the rotary kiln, where the raw meal is fired. From the rotary kiln, the next step is the clinker cooler, to cool down the cement. At this step the raw material is already a cement and is packed in 50 kg paper sacks for sale.
b) Fine Aggregate: Fine aggregate or sand consists of small grain, small pebbles or particles of crushed stone that will pass through a 6.350 mm wire mesh screen. The sand should be clean, hard, sharp and well graded. Well graded aggregate means aggregate which is not uniform in size.
c) Coarse Aggregate; Coarse aggregate can be stone, crashed stone or gravel. Its depend on the project which coarse aggregate is suitable. Coarse aggregate should be clean, hard and free from harmful amounts of vegetable matter, loam or clay.
The ideal composition of coarse aggregate is as follow:
30% coarse = 25 - 32 mm in size
30% medium = 16 - 25 mm in size
20% fine = 8 - 16 mm in size
20% very fine = 4 - 8 mm in size
The largest particles should not be more than one quarter the thickness of the wall or slab.

Is it possible that an illegal drug capable of damaging the central nervous system, impairing the senses, ruining a person's memory, judgment and coordination–not to mention one that could land the possessor in jail to face a pretty stiff sentence– can actually offer hope in the form of healing to those people who are presently suffering with certain types of blood cancers? Recent reports indicate that ecstasy, an illegal hallucinogenic drug, may actually contain certain components that could be modified and re-engineered to perform such a huge undertaking that could literally wipe blood cancers off the map for good and take back the death sentence that cancer has imposed upon so many people.Ecstasy entered the club scene several years ago and quickly became one of the more popular illegal drugs among young people. Ecstasy was named in part due to the warm fuzzy euphoric feelings that it produced. Categorized as a methylenedioxymethamphetamine (also referred to as MMDA), ecstasy is a stimulant/hallucinogenic drug. Although now illegal, ecstasy did not always have a jaded past. In fact, the drug was first introduced in 1914 as an appetite suppressant. Ecstasy made a comeback in the 1980s when it was first trialed as an antidepressant. In the last decade, however, the drug has been re-vamped, put into the hands of drug dealers, and has found its way into dance clubs and all night rave parties, not as an appetite suppressant or an antidepressant, but as a drug that has ruined countless young lives.
So, how can a drug responsible for causing such heartache among family members possibly find itself at the heart of something seemingly so good?
The down side
In order to use these drugs for the purpose of killing cancer cells, the dosages would have to be so high that they would actually end up killing the patient instead. However, knowing the lethal level of the drug has provided researchers with a glimmer of hope and also served as the springboard they needed in order to revamp the drug, lower its toxicity level, and make it safe to use in this regard.
How did they do it?
Evidently methlenedioxymethamphetamine is attracted to the fat stored in diseased cells. As a result, the drug attaches itself to the fat, which in turn weakens the cell wall and, like the Itsy Bitsy Spider, the cancer cells are essentially "washed" away.
What Does It All Mean?
Laboratory findings indicate that leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma cells have been obliterated in test tube research. While this is promising news, the revamped designer drug still needs to be tested on laboratory rats and ultimately on humans. Researchers may be on to something here; however, an actual FDA-approved cure may still be years away. Nevertheless, the news is certainly worthy of excitement because the number of people with cancer–blood cancers in particular–is still on the rise. Most people know firsthand the ravages
of cancer–whether you have lost a loved one, a friend, or perhaps you have recently received a diagnosed.
Cancer is an evil disease that has cut short the lives of millions of people the world over. While no one is looking to offer up a false sense of hope in this situation, the reality to this hopeful prospect may still be some years in the making. If these many reports are true, and an illegal drug has the power to kill cancer, then ecstasy may have just legitimately earned its name.

What these delivery men did for people stranded in a blizzard will restore your faith in humanity
Slow traffic is one thing, but being trapped in your car for hours due to a dangerous blizzard is a hope destroyer. Fortunately, in this case, the generous hearts of a few good men came to the rescue of many.
In Japan, a big snowstorm forced authorities of the Chuo Expressway near Tokyo to close off about 60 sections of road due to unsafe driving conditions. With traffic coming to a standstill and drivers getting grumbling stomachs, tensions began to rise.
Luckily, one particular vehicle stuck in the traffic was a delivery truck for Yamazaki Bread, one of Japan's largest bakers.
All the bread was near its expiration date and the delivery men did not believe all the food should go to waste. With no end in sight, they sent out a tweet:
"To anyone by the exit of the Otsuki Interchange: We have a full load of bread that is about to expire in the truck parked by the exit. We are handing it out to whoever wants it, so please come."
Word spread quickly, and pretty soon the delivery men had motorists flocking to the back of their truck for the free offerings. Drivers soon filled social media outlets with thankful messages.
This is proof genuine humanity still exists.

SOURCE: Mobolize, Inc.
February 20, 2016 12:00 ET
Free Demo Downloads Available for MWC Journalists; "The Best Location For Mobile Security is On the Mobile Device Itself"
BARCELONA, SPAIN--(Marketwired - February 20, 2016) -
Mobile World Congress -- Mobolize today announced that its Mobile Data Protection app is now available on iOS. It also announced Safe Web, a new module added to its Android app, that automatically identifies and blocks malicious websites; plus an upgraded user interface that provides usage and protection details, along with keeping score on data savings.
"The best location for mobile security is on the mobile device itself," said Will Chow, Mobolize CTO. "Mobolize pioneered strengthening security services on Android by being entirely resident on the mobile platform, and we're now offering protection on Apple devices."
Malware Blocking Available for Android
Mobolize Safe Web is a new module in the Android version of the Mobolize app that automatically identifies and blocks malware. It prevents users from visiting websites known to harbor viruses or phishing attacks. It automatically identifies the site to the user, identifies the security issue and blocks access. It operates entirely on the smartphone, with no cloud services required at all.
To improve the user experience, Mobolize redesigned the app's user interface with an easy to use dashboard that tracks secure sessions and sites. It will provide the level and status of protection, including the number of Wi-Fi sessions secured and malware sites blocked, along with the amount of data protected.
Mobolize on Android also includes the Secure Wi-Fi module which automatically encrypts data when users connect to unprotected Wi-Fi hotspots.
It also includes Data Doubler, which protects users from wasted data and money by providing data savings of up to 50 percent, including streaming video, the biggest threat to users' monthly bills. This allows the user to more efficiently manage their data plan by lowering data consumption for video's high data use.
Data Doubler also prevents video stalling so users enjoy uninterrupted content while maintaining high video quality. Because Data Doubler runs entirely on the phone, there is no cloud service required, as with competing approaches.
These mobile data protection modules all run on a common platform, in the form of a single app, making it easy for partners to package the features they want.
Secure Wi-Fi for iOS
Mobolize is also announcing today that its app now supports iOS, with the first available module being Secure Wi-Fi.
Mobolize Secure Wi-Fi automatically detects when a public Wi-Fi hotspot is unsafe. It immediately starts encrypting and protecting data on unsecured networks, making private information inaccessible to data thieves.
The app only runs when needed on unsecured Wi-Fi networks and stops when the user switches to cellular or secure Wi-Fi. This automatic switching results in no unnecessary slowdown or battery burn.
Mobolize will add additional data protection modules to the iOS version of their app as they are developed.
"Our unique location on the mobile device is the safest and best place to be for security applications," said Chow. "That is where the user makes requests for data, and Mobolize can see everything that happens on the device. It is ground zero for security."
About Mobolize
Mobolize partners with mobile device makers, app developers and network operators worldwide to provide subscription-based apps and services that give consumers control over their mobile data. To learn more about Mobolize, visit http://www.mobolize.com

Welcome to assassinhtpcblog.com!
This site is devoted to getting your HTPC up and running in the best and easiest way possible. I have a few sample guides listed here as well as over 130 other guides in the Paid Guides section. For a complete list of everything that is included see the table of contents here. Once you are a registered paid user you will have full access to everything to not only get your HTPC up and running correctly but also have many tools available to unlock the potential of your HTPC.
My goal is to bring HTPC to the masses and these guides are one of the reasons why.
The 4 guides below are a small example of what to expect in my Paid Guide area which now includes over 130 total guides. In the paid area I have painstakingly detailed step-by-step illustrated guides on how to setup, configure and use your HTPC to achieve bitstreaming HD audio and HD video in a matter of a few minutes as opposed to many weeks or months of setup and time spent tweaking. My guides not only work — but work extremely well. This is the guide that you have been searching for…
List of Free Guide Samples:
- Guide 1: Introduction to HTPC and Eliminating Cable Forever
- Guide 2: Installing and Setting up Shark007 Codec Pack to bit-stream multi-channel audio in Media Browser and Windows Media Center(WMC)
- Guide 3: Mediabrowser Appearance Guide
- Guide 4: MakeMKV made easier (even though its already pretty easy)
- Guide 5: How to Download and Add Torrent Files to Your Assassin HTPC
- Guide 6: Download and Install Windows from a USB (or burn to a DVD)
Free Guide 1: Installing and Setting up Shark007 Codec Pack to bit-stream multi-channel audio in Media Browser and Windows Media Center(WMC)
This guide is to show you how install and setup Shark007, setup Media Browser (MB) to allow playback on extenders, and bit-stream audio.
This guide is an alternate to Guide 2 where LAV is the sole codec used for both video and audio.
If you are only running a 32-bit Windows 7 System then the base Win7Codec Program will set all your video and audio codecs for you.
If you are running a 64-bit Windows 7 System the Win7Codec Program will set your video and audio codecs for WMP and any other 32-bit programs on your HTPC. The x64Component Add-on will set your audio and video codecs for WMC, to include MB.
First let's go to the Shark007 website to download the newest release. If you are running a 64-bit system you need to download and install both the "32bit Win7Codecs" and "x64Components Addon." When you click on the link it will bring you to the MajorGeeks.com mirror site.
Click on Download Locations and then you may run the install file from there or save and run it from your HTPC.
Installing Win7Codecs. Choose your language and click OK.
Click Next >.
Choose your desired directory (note the 32bit codec pack saves to the "Program Files (x86)" directory). Click Next >.
Choose Complete install and click Next >.
Click Finish and Win7Codecs will install to your HTPC.
Now go back to Shark007 website and download/run the "x64Components addon" installation file.
Click Next >.
Choose your desired directory (note the 64bit addon saves to the "Program Files" directory). Click Next >.
Click Finish and Win7Codecs 64bitComponent Addon will install to your HTPC.
Now we will initialize the 32-bit codecs. Right-click on Settings Application and choose Run as administrator.
Click OK (you may see this prompt if you have UAC disabled in Windows).
Win7Codecs will automatically reset to installation defaults the first time it is opened. If it does not click on "Shark007 Suggested Settings" . When complete click Exit.
Next, we will initialize the 64-bit codecs. Right-click on Settings Application x64 and choose Run as administrator.
Click OK (again, you may see this prompt if you have UAC disabled in Windows).
Win7Codecs x64Component Add-on will automatically reset to installation defaults the first time it is opened. If it does not click on "Shark007 Suggested Settings" .
The remainder of this guide will focus on the settings for each tab in the 64-bit application, since this is what affects our playback in WMC. I personally have my 32-bit application set to the installation defaults because I do not run any 32-bit programs on my HTPC, however the 32-bit application can be setup just like the 64-bit application. The 32-bit application has all the same tabs, their layout just may be slightly different.
On the Config tab my only change is to select No Subtitles since I never watch any of my movies with subtitles and it's one less filter my movies have to run through before it gets to the big screen. However, if you want subtitle control leave the default DirectVobSub (Enabling Subtitle Control will walk you through setting up subtitles).
On the Audio tab, check TrueHD/DTS HD-MA (if your AVR cannot decode HD audio streams click AC3/DTS only instead). After setting bitstreaming, notice that disable auto speaker configuration now becomes checked and Same as input becomes checked instead of 2.0 Stereo (the installation default). Click on "setup LAV audio" to change some settings for bitstreaming.
Inside the LAV setup screen select the bitstreaming formats that your HTPC and AV Receiver can accept. Remember that HD Audio (Dolby True HD and DTS-HD) can only be sent via HDMI. When finished click "Apply" and then "OK"
On the AVI tab, select LAV Splitter.
On the H264 tab, enable Do not use FFDshow, Use MPC-HC codec, and Use LAV codec.
On the MKV tab, check Use LAV's splitter. I am also going to uncheck Disable the DivX Media Foundation splitter… the DivX Media Foundation is required for playing back MKV's on an Xbox Media Extender. I have also unchecked Disable MKV Explorer properties as everything has been working fine with it enabled.
On the MOV tab, I am going to stick with using LAV's splitter as my video codec of choice.
On the MPG tab, overall MPEG Playback will be assigned to LAV splitter, MPEG2 specific Playback (DVD) to Set MPEG2 (system default), and MP4 Playback to LAV's splitter.
On the SWAP tab, I will remain with the default for XVID and MPEG2, and set AAC to use Microsoft codec by default.
Please note that some users my want to try to set AAC audio in DirectShow Players to Use FFDshow64's codec and check Disable Microsoft's Audio Decoder. Disabling Microsoft's Audio Decoder is required for some files with AAC multi-channel audio (mostly mp4's) to bitstream.
I suggest going back through each tab and ensuring your changes "stick." A lot of the time I find when I leave a tab the settings revert back to the default.
On the Misc tab, click on Save ALL Settings. This will create a restore point to come back to if you mess things up when "tinkering." Click Exit.
The settings will now be saved. Click "OK"
Rendering a test file in GraphStudio shows that both LAV Audio and Video are being used
Our last step is to make sure all our different file types can be played on our Xbox 360 Extenders. Open Media Browser Configurator. Under Extender Settings add the following file types: dvr-ms, wmv, avi, mkv, mp4, m4v, mov, wtv, m2ts and mpg. Exit when complete.
Congratulations! You are now bitstreaming all your HD, AC3 and AAC audio to your AVR, as well as being able to watch all your files on your Xbox 360 Extender using Media Browser, enjoy.

Free Guide 2: Mediabrowser Appearance Guide
The following is completely optional but will allow you to change the look of your Assassin HTPC by adding a theme called "Pearl" and a plug-in called "CoverArt". Unfortunately these excellent additions cost a few dollars to pay the developer but in my opinion are worth it. Currently Pearl is $6 and CoverArt is $4.
One additional download you will need is BAS Skins manager which has dozens of skins that you can use for the Pearl theme. This is free.
1. Install Pearl, CoverArt and the BAS Skins manager (run as administrator) and select Pearl as your theme. Choose "cover flow" in the settings inside mediabrowser to display the folders like I have them shown.
2. For BAS Skins I currently use "dnicks Orange clear" although you can experiment around with the different skins and see which one you like the best.
3. Next let's setup mediabrowser using the configurator. This is the way that I have my folders structured but you can structure yours however you like. Here you can see a custom logo that I made. Assassin HTPC customers have default folders that have been created but can alter this scheme to fit their needs if desired.
4. Here are more of the settings that you can use. For weather enter your zip code instead of the Yahoo ID. Assassin HTPC customers will have these settings already configured.
5. This is how my main screen looks with artwork that I added. Assassin HTPC customers will have a custom "Assassin HTPC" wallpaper as their background.
6. There are thousands of other possible setting combinations and Assassin HTPC customers will have these pre-configured and optimized for their HTPCs. Finally inside mediabrowser configurator select the plug-ins and configure the cover art plug-in. These are my settings in coverart.
8. Now close mediabrowser if you have not already done so and right click on the mediabrowser active app icon which is running in the folder at the bottom right of your desktop screen (under hidden icons by the clock on your desktop). Once you are inside here click to clear the cache including images. This will delete all images stored in mediabrowser forcing them to reload with your new settings.
9. Now restart mediabrowser. If your new images did not load click on the wrench in the upper right screen to enter the menu (this is easily done with your remote control if you purchased one for Assassin HTPC).
10. Once inside the menu click on "Update Library". This will force mediabrowser to update it again this time from inside mediabrowser.
Assassin HTPC Trick: Did you know you can manually refresh an individual folder by pressing "Ctrl" and "R" at the same time? Try it!
The finished product:
Free Guide 3: MakeMKV made easier (even though its already pretty easy)
One of the drawbacks to Windows 7 is that is does NOT support playing back bluray discs natively. What this means is that you can't just pop in a bluray and expect Windows 7 to play it because it just won't happen. To watch bluray discs on Windows 7 you have 2 options. The first is to buy an expensive piece of software like TotalMedia Theatre ($100) or PowerDVD Ultra ($100). The second way is to rip your bluray disc to your hard drive in a MKV format where it can then be played by Windows 7 for free. You will not lose any quality in either video or audio by using the latter option.
So how can you do this? By using a great little free program call MakeMKV. Please note that MakeMKV is free while in beta (now) and can be tried free for 30 days but will eventually cost $50 (DVD decryption will always be free). If you really like MakeMKV you can purchase it now from the developer.
A MKV file is a container that can hold an unlimited number of audio, video and subtitle tracks in a single file. This format is open and free and is also now supported by many media devices.
So what are some of the features of makemkv? A quick overview:
- Reads protected DVD and Bluray discs
- Direct conversion of all video and audio tracks with no loss of HD Audio/Video quality
- Includes all chapter and metadata information
- The speed of transfer is only limited by the speed of your drive — my HTPC recommended hardware is plenty to perform this transfer
- No additional software is needed
- Available for Windows, Linux and Mac should you want to try this out on another PC
- As stated above all of this is free while it is in beta (now) but at most will cost only $50 in the future
The Tutorial:
Download and install the latest version of MakeMKV and follow the installation instructions
Choose where you want to install the program
Select to run the program and click Finish
MakeMKV will now open. For now I will show you how MakeMKV works at default settings but at the end of the guide I will show you a few tricks that I do to make it even easier to use.
If you have more than 1 bluray or DVD drive you can select which drive to use under the "Source" dropdown menu. My bluray drive is selected so let's select the large "Blu-ray Disc to Hard Drive" icon in the lower right section of this screen. This won't do any ripping yet but will open the disc so you can see the contents and options to choose.
MakeMKV will now open the disc. It may take a few seconds to a few minutes depending on your system
Now that the disc has been opened by MakeMKV you can see its contents. There are quite a few options here and as I mentioned earlier I will show you at the end of the guide how to narrow this down automatically.
For now let's look for the largest file as that's likely the movie. For this disc its likely the 21.1 GB option that is first on the list. Let's click that option to open it
Next is perhaps the biggest part of why I love MakeMKV. You are able to select just specific tracks to be ripped which can really make your movie collection more precise and specific. For example you can select just the main movie and leave all the extras, foreign languages and previews behind. This saves you a ton of time and space on your HTPC.
On this screen you can see the individual audio options for this movie. Since I prefer the HD Audio track I will choose it (DTS-HD) and un-select the other options. If you instead wanted only the non-HD Audio track(s) you would choose DTS, DD 2 channel and so on. Also, on the right you can see detailed information about the file you have chosen. Alternatively you can choose more than one option which will give you more than one "stream" in the MKV container but will obviously also make you file size larger. Here you can also select what (if any) subtitles you want. As subtitles take almost no room I usually include all of them in my native language.
When you have made your selections you can change the output folder to wherever you want.
We're now ready to rip! Click the MakeMKV icon to save the titles in MKV format!
Your bluray is now being ripped to the hard drive! That's it! You just ripped a Bluray to your HTPC! How easy!
As I have stated above this will create a exact quality copy of your bluray on your HTPC. This whole process should take less than 30 minutes for most movies.
TIP: Did your 30 day trial key run out? Makemkv is free to use while in Beta development and you can find a new trial key every month here. Copy this key and update your previous product key for another free 30 day trial period.
I mentioned above that there are a few tricks that I do to make MakeMKV even easier. Under Preferences in the Video tab I change my minimum title length to 3600 seconds (60 minutes) which will ignore all files on the disk that are less than 60 minutes. To me that means ignoring the extras, alternate endings, previews, etc that I don't want as I just want the main title movie. On this tab you also can change your default destination if needed.
One other thing I do is to change my preferred language to my native language that I want to prioritize. This makes the selections even easier as it ignores all others.
Compare this main screen after these changes were made to the main screen I posted above before the changes were made (5 choices instead of 15!). The options are much less and I have narrowed down my selections significantly making choosing the correct track even easier!
Assassin Trick: Did you know that you can compress your MKV files to make them smaller? Some people like to do this to save on space. You will lose a little picture quality but most users swear they can't tell a difference if compressed slightly. If you are interested in experimenting with compressing your HD bluray MKV files I would recommend a great little free program called HandBrake. Please note that this process can take many hours to complete. I now have multiple Handbrake guides included in the Paid Guides section.
Free Guide 4: How to Download and Add Torrent Files to Your Assassin HTPC by "assassin"
Torrent files are a very popular way to download files to your Assassin HTPC. In this guide I will show you how to download and add torrents to your HTPC to expand your library. (What are torrents?)
Legal Disclaimer: Assassin HTPC in no way endorses or condones the acquisition of illegal or copyrighted material. Downloading these materials is at your own risk and we take or assume no liability for these actions. By reading this guide you agree to this disclaimer.
Downloading torrents is extremely easy. You will need 2 pieces of free software.
uTorrent which is a a tiny and efficient bit torrent client.
Peerblock which blocks "known bad" computers from accessing yours and vice versa. As the makers of peer block state this "can help protect you from the bad guys"
After downloading and installing these 2 programs make sure that peerblock is running in the background. It is a good idea to update peerblock at least once a day -AND- before you begin any new downloads.
Now let's open uTorrent and view its main screen.
Next let's tell uTorrent where you want to save your completed torrent files. Go to "options" and select "preferences".
Here you can tell uTorrent where you want your files saved. Pick a location on your Assassin HTPC where you want to store your torrent data. Click on the button labeled "1." to select where to store your new torrents. Click on the button labeled "2." to select where to store your completed torrents. I like to select my largest hard drive and make a folder called "Torrents" with a "New" and "Completed" folder inside. I then review the torrent before moving it to my Assassin HTPC library (HD Movies, Movies, or TV Shows for example).
Since this is a tutorial we will select torrents that are very easy to locate. If you have a favorite torrent site you can select a file from there as well.
So try out uTorrent with peerblock running in the background.
First make sure that peerblock is running in the background. To do this click on the "show hidden icons" in the bottom right corner near the clock on your desktop. Click on it and update it before you begin downloading. Its icon is am orange or blue block as seen below.
Now lets go back to the main screen of uTorrent and click on "New Apps!" on the left panel which will take us to an area with easy access to torrent files.
Let's click on "Pioneer One" which is a television show that we can download and watch. Click on install located under their icon.
Next click on "Episode 1" on the left and click on "Download Episode One" on the right.
You are now downloading the first episode of this TV show! Wasn't that easy? Now select "Torrents" in the left panel and you will be brought to the main downloading screen of uTorrent.
On this screen we can see a few important pieces of information.
- The file(s) that are downloading located under "name".
- The size of these files.
- Percent done of the download.
- Status (Downloading vs Done/Sharing)
- Seeds (Very Important: These are the people actively sharing the files. The more sharing usually the better resulting in more reliable and higher speed downloads)
- Leechers (Very Important: These are the people actively downloading the file from the seeds. You typically want a high seed to leecher ratio.)
- Upload and Download Speeds: This will depend on the speed of your connection and the seed/leecher ratio as well as the seeds' connection speed
- ETA: Estimated time of arrival (how long the download has before completion)
Once the download has completed and you are finished using uTorrent right click on the file from the uTorrent main download screen and select "remove". This will remove it from uTorrent which will allow you to move it on your Assassin HTPC to its new folder.
After removing it from uTorrent let's go to where you told uTorrent to store your data. You should now see it in your folder. Right click on the file and select "Cut" – this will move it to its new location and delete the old file in the previous folder.
Since this is a TV Show lets go to your Assassin HTPC "TV Shows" folder.
Make a new folder named "Pioneer One". Inside the "Pioneer One" folder make another folder named "Season One". Now inside that folder left click and select "paste". This will move this file into your new folder. I usually re-name my media at this point. Since this is the first episode of season one we need to rename it "s01e01".
Its that easy! You just added a new TV show to your TV Shows folder!
Now follow the steps included with your Assassin HTPC tutorial to add this file to your media library. The software on your Assassin HTPC will do the rest! The end result should look something like this:
There are a lot of websites out there to use to search for media for your Assassin HTPC. Good luck torrenting!
Guide 5: Download and Install Windows from a USB (or burn to a DVD)
This guide will show you how to install Windows from a USB drive (or how to burn a legitimate downloaded copy to DVD for installation). The great thing about this technique is not only is it faster (about 7 minutes for Windows Home 64 bit) but you can try out Windows for free for 30 days. You also can install Windows while you are waiting on your Windows license to arrive and then use the license key to activate windows once it is received. Make sure to download and install the same exact version of windows that you have purchased. If the license key is not the same as the version it is linked to Windows will not activate and you will have to start over.
You obviously will also need a USB flash drive. I recommend at least 4GB. There is no need to pay for a USB 3.0 drive as the drivers for the USB 3.0 ports won't be available until after we download and install the drivers for them.
Now you need to obviously download Windows legitimately. Here I have linked all the versions that are available. Again, be sure to download the exact version and type (32 vs 64 bit) that matched the license key you purchased.
(Remember that x86 is 32 bit and x64 is 64 bit)
Windows 7 Home Premium (x86) [2.4 GB]Windows 7 Home Premium (x64) [3.1 GB]Windows 7 Professional (x86) [2.4 GB]Windows 7 Professional (x64) [3.1GB]Windows 7 Ultimate (x86) [2.4 GB]Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) [3.1 GB]
Now that you have the file downloaded let's download the Windows DVD to USB tool here
Now let's open the Windows DVD to USB tool. Locate your Win7 iso file that you downloaded (I have renamed mine Windows 7 Install) and then click next
Next select that you want to store it on a USB device (alternatively you can burn it to a DVD if you want)
Select the USB that you want to use (here I chose my 8GB flash that already had some stuff on it as an example for this guide. I suggest that you backup and then delete whatever is on your flash drive and start with an empty flash drive)
Next select "Begin Copying". Your downloaded iso will now be transferred to a bootable USB flash drive. Alternatively if you are choosing to burn to disc you would have chosen your DVD burner and your bootable disc will now start burning
The end result looks something like this
Opening the flash drive above looks something like this
The next step is to enter bios of your new HTPC. In the area where you can select your boot order select USB to boot first. Now plug your flash drive into a USB 2.0 port on the rear of your HTPC and restart bios. Windows should now install in about 7 minutes!
Once Windows has installed you can use it for 30 days without having to activate it. When you get your disc or license go to Start and right click on "Computer" and select "Properties". Here you should be able to enter your license key and activate Windows

1. Some parameters of speech sound production
As air flows from the lungs to the mouth and nose, it passes through the larynx ("voice box") where the glottis ("vocal chords") may be nearly closed and tensed so that the cartilages at the opening vibrate, imposing an audio signal on the air stream. Sounds made without this glottal vibration are said to be voiceless. A good contrast between voiced and voiceless sounds in English is found in the pair lazy and lacy. The z of lazy represents a voiced sound, while the c of lacy represents a voiceless sound. There are no such contrasts in Blackfoot, but voicing is an important feature nevertheless. (See Generalizations for Blackfoot, below.)
Shape of the oral cavity
The quality (timbre) of vowels and semivowels is determined by the complex patterns of the audio signal carried by the air flow leaving the mouth. As stated above, an audio signal is imposed on the air flow as it passes through the larynx. The oral cavity acts as a filter which more readily passes certain harmonics of this audio signal; the shape of the oral cavity determines which harmonics are passed and which are attenuated. The primary determinant for the shape of the oral cavity is the position of the tongue. It is common to describe vowels with respect to the location of the highest point on the tongue. For example, the vowel of English me is produced with the blade of the tongue high and to the front of the mouth, so it is described as a high, front vowel. Blackfoot has the following vowels: high front [i], low front [æ], low central [a], mid to high back [o], and low back (which I will represent here as [O]). These are similar to English vowels as follows: [i] is like the vowel of English she; the vowel [æ] is that of English at; [a] is the first vowel of father; Blackfoot [o] is about half way between the vowels of go and do, and like those vowels, involves lip rounding; Blackfoot [O] is rounded also; it is like the sound spelled aw in dawn for speakers of English who pronounce this differently than they pronounce don. (This description of these vowels is simplified, in the sense that their basic quality has been described. The vowels [i], [æ], and [a] have predictable variants in well-defined environments, as will be described below under Generalizations for Blackfoot.)
The shape of the oral cavity is also the determining factor for the quality of semivowels. These are like vowels except for their duration and consequently their position in the syllable: semivowels involve a gliding movement of the tongue into and out of a high front or high back position. They are never the nucleus of syllables, always occuring next to vowels. Blackfoot has a high front semivowel [y] and a high back semivowel [w]. Like the back vowel [o], the lips are rounded for [w].
Point of air flow constriction in the mouth.
The description of consonants makes reference to the point in the mouth where the air flow is constricted, such as at the lips, or at various points along the roof of the mouth as the tongue touches it. These points are sometimes referred to as "points of articulation". The important points for Blackfoot are the lips, alveolar ridge (behind the teeth), the front portion of the palate, and the velum ("soft palate"). Consonants articulated at these points are described as labial, alveolar, palatal, and velar, respectively.
Degree of air flow constriction in the mouth.
Air flow in the mouth may be completely blocked, as in stops and nasals (see below), or constricted to the extent that the air being forced through makes a noise; the latter sounds are called fricatives. Vowels (see above) are produced with virtually no constriction in the mouth.
Velic status (open or closed)
The velic is a valve at the back of the roof of the mouth. It may be open, allowing air to flow through the nasal passage, or closed.
Glottis as a valve
Blackfoot uses the glottis as an additional point of constriction; as we will see, a complete closure after a vowel counts as a consonant.
2. Classes of consonants
It is useful to recognize groups of sounds which have features in common, because this allows us to make generalizations about those groups, as we will see just below and later when describing phonological rules.
When there is complete blockage of air flow in the mouth and the velic is closed so no air can escape through the nasal passage, then as soon as the air pressure in the mouth matches the air pressure from the lungs, air flow completely stops. E.g., if the lips are closed and the velic is closed, the air flow is halted as pressure builds up behind the lips. The resulting consonant is called a labial stop. Blackfoot has labial [p], alveolar [t], and velar [k] stops. A constriction at the glottis (represented here as [?]) is also considered a stop (glottal stop), even though the closure is not in the mouth.
If there is an oral closure but the velic remains open, then the entire air flow will be via the nasal passage. The point of closure in the mouth is still significant, however, because shape of the oral cavity will affect the quality (timbre) of the sound as it does for vowels (see below), especially if they are voiced, as they almost always are. Blackfoot has labial [m] and alveolar [n] nasals.
The oral closure is not complete, and air being forced through produces noise. The velic is closed, else the pressure in the mouth could not be great enough to force air through the oral constriction. Blackfoot has an alveolar fricative [s], about like the sound represented by s in English horse. Blackfoot also has a velar fricative [x]; it is about like the sound usually represented by ch in German.
If the closure for a stop is not opened abruptly and completely, but rather the closure is only partially opened so as to allow air to pass through with difficulty, then the release will be heard as a fricative. The resulting complex sound is called an affricate. Blackfoot has two affricates. One [ts] is at the alveolar ridge, and sounds about like the ts in the word cats. The other affricate [ks] begins with a velar closure, but during the release there is a partial closure at the alveolar ridge, so that it sounds similar to the sound written x in the English word box.
3. Definitions:
stop = air flow blocked (glottal closure, or oral closure with velic closed)
nasal= oral closure & velic open
fricative = friction noise as air flows through a constriction & velic closed
affricate = stop with fricative release
vowel = sound produced by resonance within the oral cavity; occurs as the nucleus of a syllable
semivowel = glide of tongue into a high front or back position; occurs as part of a syllable margin
4. Generalizations for Blackfoot:
Stops, fricatives, and the affricates are voiceless and unaspirated.
Nasals are voiced.
Vowels are voiced and non-nasalized (i.e., the velic is closed).
Semivowels are voiced and non-nasalized.
Predictable variation:
[a] is higher (central) if it is both short and followed by a long consonant.
[i] is lax if it is both short and in a closed syllable.
[æ] is higher and tense (like French é) when it precedes a [?], higher and lax (like the e of English bet) if it is in a closed syllable, and is long otherwise.
[o] is usually higher and lax (like the vowel of English put) before a long consonant.
Unaccented vowels are usually voiceless at the end of a word.
Velar consonants ([x,k,ks]) are palatal if immediately preceded by a front vowel.
5. Non-English distinctions in Blackfoot
Blackfoot has a non-predictable pitch accent. That is, every polysyllabic Blackfoot word has at least one syllable with distinctively high pitch.
Vowel length
Blackfoot vowels are either long or short, and this length is distinctive.
Consonant length
All Blackfoot consonants except [x] and [?] are either long or short, and this length is distinctive.
Other Contrasts with English:
Much less aspiration of stops in Blackfoot, if any, than in English.
Blackfoot [o] is not glided.
