Here is what has worked for me.
I been using the beta version for a few months now and found that it worked better than the others on my Windows XP Media Center Edition. I run my program when I wnat my pc on. My PC won't automatically hybernate while it runs. When I want to shut my pc down, I pause my work and send my pc into hybernate mode.
I'm using the graphical interface, and I prefer the ball and stick view, it seems to be more pc friendly. I also have the draw rate at the slowest. I set my cpu to 50% with lowest priority. This way my pc fan does not have to work as hard to keep my pc cool.
I xp service pack 3 installed on a Dell XPS 200.
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Time for a new thread!
Since we have more time dedicated to folding than most, I felt it would be appropriate to run a "[email protected] Tweak Lab" of sorts, where we can try out tweaks and see whether they are worth publishing publically.
If we could help develop these tweaks by publishing ideas and results to help improve them, once we have got the tweak to a "final stage", we can post them in the main forum for all to see.
It will make our team as a whole more productive, and we can have fun working on the tweaks together!
At the moment we're working on two tweaks. The first is mgrist who is working on HT (which is nearly done as of this writing), and I am looking for a suitable method of testing an overclock for reliability when folding. I will post my results as soon as I have them, along with some sort of a conclusion as to whether its feasible.
The Hyperthreading experiment.
On the 3.2 HT I usally do a tinker (400 frames) at 5 or 6 mins a frame, call it 6 mins which is 40 hours It is now taking 9 mins. which is 60 hours
The duel unit that is running (100 frames) now usally runs at 6 mins but is now running at 9 mins used to take ten hours now takes 15 hours. Looks to me like I'm losing and my mind is blank. I'm just to tired or old to get the numbers figured out tonight. What say you guys?
Anyone had access yet can report back any improvements over RC1 / RC2 please.
and I'll let you know.2 more replies
What version of Vista is Vista Beta RC1 a beta version of? Ultimate? This is the first beta of Vista that I have installed.
Yes RC1 is Vista Ultimate. If you setup user accounts /w password and not automatically logging in then you see that right at the bottom of the logon screen. As well as under the system properties. Actually there quite a few places that displays it.
Have fun with it and give as much feedback to Microsoft as possible.

I am using a Vista based system. I downloaded the IE8 (beta) from the MS site. Everything seemed to work fine in the compatability mode, except for my games from Real Arcade. The support people at RA say that they are only compatable with IE7, and that I should reinstall it. Since I have large portfolio of games with them, I am frustrated at not being able to use them. I have deceided to switch back to IE7, but I cannot find how to do so. I have tried resetting the internet settings thru the control panel, but that didn't work. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to uninstall IE8 and reinstall IE7? Thanks.
To uninstall IE8 beta 1 or 2 from Vista, go to Control Panel, Programs &
Features, then click on "View installed updates", you will find IE8 there &
you can now select 'Uninstall'.
After a restart, your Vista will have reverted to IE7.

Trend Micro are proud to announce the release of HijackThis version 2.0.2. This is the first non-beta release of HijackThis since our first release back in March. We since have been working alongside many HijackThis support communities to ensure that our changes reflect their needs. New features and fixes are listed below.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with HijackThis, it is a free software utility that generates an in depth report of registry and system settings by scanning your Windows computer. The resulting log file can be examined by experienced users or web-forum helpers to determine what may have infected your PC. HijackThis makes no separation between safe and unsafe settings in its scan results. Expert users are provided the ability to selectively remove items from your PC, such as malicious or unwanted software. In addition to this scan and remove capability HijackThis comes with several tools useful in manually removing malware from a computer.
A common practice for novice users is to generate a HijackThis log file and submit it one of the many web-forums devoted to helping people fix their computers by using HijackThis. Experts at these forums provide information on which items are causing your problems and how to remove them safely from your computer.
New features include:
AnalyzeThis statistics
Windows Vista and IE 7.0 improved support
Improved whitelisting for non English o/s
Added capabilities to clean ActiveX Desktop Components

Hey everyone,
On my PC I have a beta release version from earlier this year. I have just purchased a student version of windows 7.
What will be the easiest way to install it?
Reload my PC with Vista, then upgrade using the student version?
Did you download or do you have a disc? If you downloaded, then burn it to disk and do a clean install would be my recommendation. Make bootable iso from student d/l
Hope this helps.

After taking the Forum Ed's advice click here and biting the NOF bullet, I've managed to come up with what I think is a pretty respectable website.click here to view the almost complete beta version, which is currently on my own webspace, but will be placed on e-pro-it.com when absolutely ready.Feel free to give my new site a thorough test, though bear in mind that the Charter page is still waiting for its definitive content. The only slight problem that I can find is that the headings in Courier New font are a bit too small in Mozilla. Is this because I chose the "browser fixed" version of that font? Would, say, the baltic version be better? It's fine in IE anyway.Any constructive comments are welcome. Thanks very much for your time.

LinkSync is the sucessor to F2e-Sync (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4527.html)
It provides multisyncing now. Please read the README after you install the program.
I believe this to be a much cleaner incarnation of the application. It's not finished and it only sync's from IE to multiple's (opera is not functional either direction).
Supported browsers
IE (from IE to others)
Maxthon (can currently only recieve sync)
Firefox (can currently only recieve sync)
K-Meleon (can currently only recieve sync)
Mozilla (can currently only recieve sync)
Netscap 8 (can currently only recieve sync)
Opera 8 (not functional)
LinkSync v.0.8.0 BETA 1
The next beta will have all browsers but Opera syncable in both directions.
Comments welcome in this post or at my blog
I saw your other thread a few days ago, and thought that was something I could really use, but something got in between and I forgot about it, so thanks for the reminder!

lotuseclat79 has put up a news item on the front page that Mozilla has come out with a beta version of an update to the previous 3.5.1 and now it's FF3.5.2 Beta.
The problem is when you download the file from the Mozilla website using the FF browser, when opening the installer file, a warning pops up " the installer comes from an untrusted source, the file is corrupted, click "no"! I save the installer file to the desktop and tried downloading both on-line and off-line with the same result as mentioned above!
Now, i go to the filehippo.com (see the snap below) and it's a totally cool download and hassles-free installation. All the Add-ons are checked for compatibility and all are accepted. Thanks!
The www.filehippo.com site is 1 of 4 sites that I visit daily to look for and download program updates.
I've got Mozilla Firefox 3.5.1 installed. I've downloaded 3.5.2 Beta 1, but I haven't installed and tested it yet.

Please can you suggest why this might be the case. I don't have any trouble downloading any other apps.
Changelog 126.96.36.1996 (Update 8)
revised update mechanism offering more flexibility and better support for scenarios using a proxy
additional sensors for behavior-based detection
Changelog history: https://betacenter.avira.com/projec...&artid={C500BBD8-44E5-493F-94AF-1F9969EDDFFF}
Itested it out and its not that great, still alot of work to do.
Theyre really old fashioned, just relying on signatures mostly.
I use Avira anti virus, Spywareblaster as a malware shield, and Superantispyware and Malawarebytes as malware scanners. I have recently added Malawarebytes Anti Root Kit (Free). Although a Beta version it seems fine.
Blimey! You must have some seriously important data to protect. I run six machines, all of them with confidential client information on them, and I've never use more than the free version of AVG. I can't remember when I last had any form of file infection.7 more replies

I've installed and have all the latest updates to Microsoft Beta AntiSpyware version 1.0.501 but I see that there is 1.0.509 available.Is it necessary to install this version in spite of the fact that Microsoft tell that I am up to date and if so, which is the best way to do it?

I apparently was selected for the beta version of MSN. I do not like it at all. Too sterile and cannot find what I'm looking for. Does anyone know of a way to return to the old version--even if it's just until they finish the beta testing? I've done a web search as well as MSN help and cannot find an answer. Thanks!
ATTENTION- anyone who is using Hijackthis--- As dvk01 has posted below, now we can use this newer version 2 of Hijackthis..... But- read this entire thread, about NOT using this new version when you are infected and your antivirus program alerts you when you try to open the new version....please, do NOT disable your antivirus program just so you can try out this new version, especially when you are working with an infected computer. There is not that much new that it shows.

If I'm going to reinstall chrome, should I use the regular or the beta version?
Go with the regular one as less likely to have any issues, beta's can be prone to faults, although running betas is a hit and miss affair as some users will say they have no issues, while others have issues.
For those people that are out on the road survicing PCs, there is a new version of Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (Beta). So you might want to get yourself the latest version. Otherwise your current version might have a bit a larger download* to do after you install it.
Link for it is here Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) 6/24/2005

How Right-Wing Media Common Core Distortion Plays Out In State Politics
The 5 Most Incendiary Media Fueling The Common Core Outrage Machine
Blog ››› ››› HILARY TONE
Conservative media's incessant campaign to demonize the Common Core State Standards, often confined to the right-wing bubble, is now playing out in local politics.
Over the past year, the Common Core State Standards have been at the center of a heated national education debate. Released in 2010 by the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, with input from parents, school officials, teachers, and experts, Common Core is "a set of clear college- and career-ready standards for kindergarten through 12th grade in English language arts/literacy and mathematics." Forty-five states and the District of Columbia have voluntarily adopted the Common Core standards, though news out of Indiana this week has reduced that number.
On Monday, Republican Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed legislation withdrawing the state from Common Core, even though the state had already started implementing the standards. A release from Pence's office stated, "I believe our students are best served when decisions about education are made at the state and local level."
Pence's statement buys into one of the many myths popularized by conservative media about Common Core -- that it's a federal takeover of education, guilty of "central planning." Other prevalent myths are that it creates a class curriculum, teaches wrong answers, injects partisan ideology, dumbs down standards, and data mines children's information.
These myths and more have made the Common Core debate so vitriolic that states are actually changing the name of their standards because the mere phrase "Common Core" has become "toxic." New York is negotiating to delay Common Core-based tests, and an Oklahoma Senate panel voted to repeal Common Core earlier this week. As the Associated Press reported on Monday, "the Common Core initiative has morphed into a political tempest fueling division among Republicans."
These state-level decisions come on the heels of a robust campaign from various misinformers in the right-wing media who consistently use inflammatory language and stoke fears to mislead about the standards.
Here are the five most incendiary media figures and outlets fueling the Common Core outrage machine.
Fox News: Kids Might Become Doctors And "Operate On The Wrong Knee"
Fox News' misinformation on Common Core has been well-documented. The network appears to have no idea how the standards actually work, accusing them of everything from "sneak[ing] in partisan lessons" to creating doctors who might "operate on the wrong knee." Fox & Friends co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck even falsely invoked Common Core to back an attempted book ban in North Carolina.
Michelle Malkin: "Common Core Jerkitude Is A Bipartisan Disease"
There is perhaps no louder voice against Common Core than conservative author and columnist Michelle Malkin. From her "Stop Common Core" Twitter list to her plethora of anti-Common Core columns at National Review Online, Malkin routinely uses inflammatory rhetoric to demonize the standards. She has given out "Biggest Common Core Jerk" awards and referred to "Common Core jerkitude" as a "bipartisan disease." She's referred to the standards as a "lab-rat testing experiment," called them a "Trojan horse for lowering [expectations]," and claimed they create "a Big Brother gold rush and an educational Faustian bargain." Her constant, erroneous insistence that Common Core is a "top-down" approach that the Obama administration is using to "corrupt education" leaves little doubt that Malkin will leave no stone unturned in her relentless and false attacks on the standards.
Glenn Beck's The Blaze: "We Will Not Save Our Country Unless We Save It First From This Attack"
Roughly one year ago, conservative commentator and founder of The Blaze.com Glenn Beck turned his attention to Common Core on his BlazeTV show, claiming that "our kids are going to be indoctrinated with extreme leftist ideology" because progressives "jammed this through in the dead of night." Beck went so far as to declare that "We will not save our country unless we save it first from this attack."
Since then, TheBlaze.com has repeatedly distorted the conversation on Common Core often through hyperbolic headlines posted on the site:
Common Core: A Lesson Plan for Raising Up Compliant, Non-Thinking Citizens
Dum-Dum-Dumbing America's Children
Do Common Core's roots date back to America's earliest socialists?
NPR reported earlier this year that Beck "has often led the push" against Common Core:
The mainstream business wing of the Republican Party strongly backs Common Core, arguing that raising standards is vital to creating the next-generation American workforce. But in an echo of the rifts in the GOP nationally, the Tea Party branch has been critical of the new standards.
Conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck has often led the push. On his show The Blaze, he often charges that Common Core will undermine student individuality and teacher autonomy, and that it marks a dangerous takeover of local control by federal bureaucrats pushing a leftist agenda.
"This is a progressive bonanza, and if it's allowed to be in our schools in any form and become the Common Core of America's next generation, it will destroy America and the system of freedom as we know it," Beck told his audience last year.
Breitbart.com's Susan Berry: Common Core Dumbs Down Standards "To Achieve A Social Justice Agenda"
Dr. Susan Berry at the conservative news site Breitbart.com writes frequently about the supposed perils of Common Core. She has pushed the myth that Common Core dumbs down "standards and curricula for all students in order to achieve a social justice agenda." She has also turned to conservative groups like The Heartland Institute and Heritage Foundation to propagate the false assertion that Common Core is a "national takeover of schooling" and that the "Obama administration is intent on controlling what is taught at each grade level in schools across the United States."
Berry has claimed that the standards are "part of a world-wide initiative that may ultimately serve to make American values and practices secondary to global sharing." After Bill Gates appeared on ABC to discuss his foundation's funding of Common Core, Berry went so far as to ask: "The question is, why is a college dropout non-mathematician being asked to defend the Common Core math standards?"
The Daily Caller: "Here's PROOF Common Core Aims To Make America's Children Cry"
Right-wing news site the Daily Caller has posted dozens of articles about Common Core, often with photos of school assignments and incendiary headlines like, "Here's PROOF Common Core aims to make America's children cry," and, "How MORONICALLY HARD can Common Core math make subtraction?" Many are sourced from Michelle Malkin's Twitchy website. Various myths accompany its inflammatory rhetoric, including claims that the lessons derived from Common Core amount to "authoritarian propaganda" and that Common Core critics oppose "centralized" education. Like Breitbart's Susan Berry, the Daily Caller has also turned to the conservative Heartland Institute to push the falsehoods about Common Core, including that it is "a national monopoly on education."
In the continued battle over Common Core, even supporters have acknowledged that implementation has not been smooth, and that the process needs improvement. But these media figures and outlets doing their damndest to ensure that the national conversation on Common Core is steered in a distorted direction only make it harder to have a reasonable discussion.

Operational History
19 Sep. 1912 - Commissioned in the Royal Hellenic Navy. It will soon participate in the Balkan wars under Lieutenant Commander J. Razikotsikas, while also on board is Squadron Commander D. Papachristos.
Oct. 1916 - Seized by the French. Participates in World War I on their side.
1918 - Returns to escort duty under Greek colours and in the blockades of the coasts of the Black Sea from the Bosphorus to Trebizond.
22 Dec. 1921 - While moored with Ierax in Piraeus harbour, they are both severely damaged by the explosion of a depth charge bomb which the crew of Leon was transporting. Two officers, one petty officer and two sailors are killed on Leon and two sailors on Ierax. Leon completely loses her aft section up to her stern gun.
1925-27 - Undergoes refurbishment.
1 March 1935 - During the failed coup attempt of 1935, Leon is briefly captured by the venizelists.
1940 - Leon is commanded by Petros Protopapas during World War 2.
18 April 1941 - During a convoy escort, she collides with passenger ship Ardena and two depth charges explode. As a result, the stern section is cut off and two officers get killed.
15 May 1941 - Sunk by German bombers in Souda Bay (Crete) where she was towed from Salamis Naval Base.
Wild-beast class destroyer "Leon" II
Displacement: (Standard) 880 tons
Length: 89.4 m
Beam: 8.3 m
Draft: 3 m
Range: 530 m
Speed: (before 1925) 31 knots, (from 1925) 32 knots
Complement: 58
Armament: (as completed) 4× Bethlehem 102 mm, 1× 75 mm AA, 6× 533 mm T.T., 3× electric search lights
(from 1925) 75 mm AA removed, 37 mm AA added, four-barrel 40 mm added, 2 mortars added, modified for laying 40 mines
For modellers
The ship differs significantly before and after its 1925 refit. This scale model represents the pre-1925 version with the five funnels.
For gamers and game designers
Notice that Leon II has no torpedoes during the Balkan wars and can act only as scout. In later years it acts as proper destroyer with torpedoes, depth charges, etc.

SOCORRO — On January 30, 2004, the first New Mexico Earth Science Achievement Awards will be presented to Representative Joe Stell of Carlsbad, and to Dr. John W. Shomaker of Albuquerque. These awards, cosponsored by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR) in Socorro, and the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) in Santa Fe, are presented annually to honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions to advancing or facilitating the role of geoscience in the areas of education, research, public service, and public policy in New Mexico. Selections were made following a statewide nomination process. The awards were initiated to honor those often unrecognized champions of earth science issues vital to the future of New Mexico.

The presentation will occur at noon in the rotunda of the state capitol building on Friday, January 30, during the upcoming legislative session and in conjunction with Earth Science Day. Several agencies will be staffing tables in the west wing of the Roundhouse from 8 AM to 5 PM on that day. The presentations will be made by Peter Scholle, State Geologist and Director of the NMBGMR, and Joanna Prukop, Cabinet Secretary of the New Mexico EMNRD. The public is invited to visit the Roundhouse throughout the day and to attend the ceremony.

Joe Stell has served in the New Mexico House of Representatives since 1986, representing District 54 in Eddy and Otero Counties. He has been instrumental in championing a thoughtful and rational approach to the study, conservation, and protection of the state's water resources through his leadership in the state legislature. This award is made for his outstanding contributions in advancing the role of earth science in areas of public service and public policy in New Mexico.

John Shomaker is founder and president of John Shomaker & Associates, Inc., an Albuquerque-based, employee-owned corporation that has been providing earth science consulting since 1973. His technical expertise in the hydrogeology of New Mexico, combined with his professional and scientific integrity and contributions to public service and policy, has earned him the unequivocal respect of his peers, colleagues, and clients. This award is made for his outstanding contributions in advancing the role of earth science in areas of applied science and education in New Mexico.

The NMBGMR is a non-regulatory service and research division of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology in Socorro. For 76 years the bureau has served as the geological survey for the state of New Mexico. EMNRD provides resource protection, recreation, and resource development services to the public and to other state agencies.

For more information, contact Peter Scholle, State Geologist and Director, New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Tech, 801 Leroy Place, Socorro, NM 87801, or call 505.835.5302.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III had to be kept from returning to the field after suffering a knee injury on Sunday against the Ravens. He now has to be kept from playing on Sunday against the Browns.
Griffin has posted on Twitter that the decision that he won't play "was not my own. . . . But I will be there for my team!!! In every way I possibly can." (Rashard Mendenhall isn't impressed.)
That message from Griffin seems to close the door on the possible loophole in the team's official announcement that Kirk Cousins "is expected" to start. It also suggests that the doctors ultimately decided not to clear Griffin.
The question now becomes whether Griffin will be cleared for Week 16 against the Eagles, especially if the Redskins lose to Cleveland and fall to 7-7.

Welcome from John Robson
In 1999, I felt the call to give back to others. More than anything, I wanted to
teach journal writing as an amazing tool for personal growth - a tool for
healing, intuition development, awareness, clarity, making sense of your world
and more...
But it was a terrifying prospect ...
I got certified as a journaling workshop facilitator but I had no idea how to design, facilitate or market a workshop. I had no idea how to create a decent income. So I kept asking myself "How can I turn my passion into a viable personal growth business?"
Despite my uncertainty and fear, I cautiously moved forward. I started small, learning as I went. Step by step. One 2 to 3 hour workshop in my home. Then another. And another. And to my surprise, over my first year, I had more than 1000 people through my living room, about 12 at a time.
It was a breakthrough for me! In each workshop I saw people come alive with big insights. They found a way to draw out their own inner wisdom. My confidence soared - and I was inspired to create new programs to better support my students' needs. My most powerful, spiritual, life experiences were during some of my workshops.
It's been an amazing journey - rewarding and fulfilling on many levels. There is such a powerful feeling seeing participants transform in front of your eyes. And I got paid for it!
But I remember what a big step it was for me to step out into the world as a self-employed workshop facilitator. I know how scary it can be.
As of today, I have supported many hundreds of individuals worldwide to find their niche and create their workshops and facilitation services. Many coaches use workshops for lead generation so they could demonstrate their credibility and knowledge. Many facilitators use journaling tools to coach their participants. Some use workshops to stay in touch with previous clients. Others found the biggest benefit was in their own growth as they supported family and friends.
My most important message to new facilitators is WORKshops are about "WORK" - your attendees doing the work. It is not about excessive speaking and advice. Keep your clients thinking, drawing out and trusting their own answers and healing. Allow your clients the priceless opportunity to develop self-reliance and harness the growth tools they can use for a lifetime.
And so now, more than anything, I want to show you how to connect with, support and inspire others through facilitating your own workshops.
I want to help you move easily through the learning curve so you can find your unique niche, design, deliver and market your own workshops and programs - quickly, easily and successfully!
No Tedious Groundwork Needed...
I make it easier than ever to start facilitating your own Workshops. If you want to fast track your learning and income, I have provided three turnkey workshop programs. Each program includes speaker notes, workbooks, flipchart layouts, fliers and feedback forms. These items are all provided to help you help others to be their best.
Here's what I've included to ensure your Workshop Facilitator Training success...

- Workshop design and facilitation handbook with strategies and tips so you can set up and run your own workshop programs.
- Business operations and marketing handbook with steps so you can create and manage your own workshop facilitation business.
- 3 turn-key workshop packages - Fast-start your business with not one but three workshops on journal writing, life purpose and creativity.
- One-on-one email coaching support - Get all your questions answered.
- Find your delivery style so you are seen as a natural presenter.
- Hundreds of exceptional resources to draw from and use in your own workshops.
- Training is completely online - Learn from home at your own pace with ease.

- An option for certification and extra support.
- A list of over 100 income streams you can choose from.

Must Have Resources for Your Successful Workshop...
- You get Lifetime access ($269 value) and permission (priceless!) to draw content (within reason) from all 30 workbooks and programs. Also available are the 250 tools and resources on the Higher Awareness website. Now you can custom design your own training programs.
- You Save time and energy - There's no need to search for tips, quotes, ideas, exercises, tools, answer lists, questions, prompts and worksheets. We have them all included in your life membership at HigherAwareness.com
This service alone is worth far more than the cost of the whole program! Where else can you get full permission to draw freely from a large and diverse personal growth library to create your own materials?
Recover your online workshop facilitation training costs in as little as 2 workshops...
In my research I found that most facilitator training programs charge thousands of dollars. And that doesn't include the time and cost of traveling to their training sessions.
And most certifications also restrict what you can present. Not so with Higher Awareness training! I will support you in finding your own niche and recommend tools and exercises for your fist program. And remember, you receive Lifetime access and permission to draw content from all 30 workbooks and programs. Also available are the 250 tools and resources.

While searching online for "how to make an applique pocket" tutorial, I only found links to products in which I would have to make a purchase to learn this little craft. Well, I didn't want to do that, not that I don't believe they are worth every penny, but..."Free" was actually the first word I typed into my search engine in that sentence. So, I thought, "I can figure this out myself," and through a process of trial and errors, I did.
So, I am now offering a "free" little tutorial myself, for other newbies out there interested in how to make an applique pocket.
First you need to find your object of desire. Me, I found this sweet little owl print fabric, which had these very cool owls on it, sparking me to dive into the land of applique. To practice, you may want to start with a simple shape, such as a circle or square.
You will also need a piece of double-sided fusible fabric and a larger piece of muslin or neutral scrap fabric (approximately 3 inches larger in diameter than you applique piece, measuring tape, pins, pencil, scissors, iron, and of course, a sewing machine and thread.
Step One, would be to cut out your shape; I just cut around the owl, eliminating parts that would make it too complicated to sew. Keep smooth edges that are simple to sew around.
Step Two, trace the shape of your applique piece on a bit of fusible fabric. I use a light weight double-sided fusible fabric, so that it can give your pocket some shape, but not be too stiff that it sticks away from your base fabric (garment). You want to make sure that your fabric is traced and cut out so that it goes all the way to the edges of your fabric, this will ensure that it is sewn in and washable.
Step Three, is to iron your piece of fusible fabric between your applique and a square (or larger) piece of muslin, or other plain scrap material (see photo below). The larger piece of muslin will help you when you get to step four, afterwhich you will cut away the excess muslin fabric.Your three pieces of fabric should now be fused together!
Step Four, is to sew it up! Sew around the edges of your applique piece with a satin stitch (a close in width zig-zag). Now, go back over the top portion of your applique, the portion where your pocket will open, and NOT be sewn down to your garment. (You may have to adjust your tension so as your applique doesn not pucker or warp; however, a little of either is okay, because you will be sewing it again to your garment, and ironing usually takes care of this problem as a final step). At this point your applique will look anything but perfect, but don't fret, you are not done!
Step Five, now that you have sewn around your applique piece, (see above photo) you will cut around it, cutting away your muslin fabric. This should be done carefully as not to cut stitches, but perfect is not required.
Step Six, is to place your applique on your garment. Now, this is where I like to cut corners, but where corners should not be cut! Get out a measuring tape and place your applique so that it isn't sewn on cock-eyed and you will realize you did all that work for nothing! Mark and pin your applique in place, double check it's exactly where you want it , and head back over to the sewing machine.
The Final Step is to sew that puppy, er, well, owl in this case, on to your garment. Using the same satin stitch; however, lengthen the stitch just teeny bit so that you will go over the edge a little bit onto the outside of your applique and on the garment. This will give you a more smooth final look. Remember to leave the opening for your pocket; measure and mark your opening so that it is even, and place a pin there as a reminder! Start your stitch where you want your fabric to be sewn down to your garment (at your first pin), and sew all the way around to the second pin. I like to use my free hand to kept the applique nice and smooth as I sew, to get a clean finish. Finally, iron your applique down to get rid of any puckering or warping that may have occured.

The Rams, as expected, officially have placed cornerback Cortland Finnegan on injured reserve, due to an eye injury. It was one of several moves made in advance of the team's first game since shellacking the Colts 13 days ago.
The Rams also placed veteran quarterback Brady Quinn on injured reserve, with a hip injury. To fill the two roster spots, the Rams activated rookie safety T.J. McDonald (as expected) and elevated cornerback Quinton Pointer from the practice squad.
McDonald, a third-round pick from USC, was placed on IR with the designation to return after a Week Four loss to the 49ers.
The Rams now have only two quarterbacks on the active roster: starter Kellen Clemens and backup Austin Davis.

Until 1922 when Howard Carter discovered the tomb of the boy king, Pharaoh Tutankhamen. The public attention to the discovery unleashed an unprecedented interest in Egyptology, and soon Ancient Egyptian decor and collecting 'artifacts' became the popular vogue. It became stylish to adore your house with an Egyptian motif accented with artifacts, real or fake. It was at this time when Clodia remembered all the hand me down stories of her Great-Grandfather and his adventures in the Egyptian Campaign. And she remembered the mummy's head.
It was smaller than she expected, about the size of a cantaloupe. Although there were some ancient cloth still attached to the skull, most of the face was uncovered. With empty eyes and no nose the cadaver's head was gruesome, but knowing that it had come from the time of the Pharaohs quelled any loathing she instinctively had for the object and instead instilled her with awe and wonder. With her Grandmother's blessing, she took the head home to her flat in Montoire and placed it on her bedroom dresser. She took the remainder of the day lying on her bed and staring at the gruesome artifact. Her mind wandered, imagining who the person was and what his or her world was like all those millenia ago. Her new decoration was the floodgate of inspiration.
But that night the disturbing dreams began.
Clodia dreamed she was in a dark room, which smelled of rotting flesh and waste. A door opened, and three men came into the room. Two of them were enormous muscular men, carrying some kind of staff or large club. the other was between the two adorned in some sort of robe. It was this small one who spoke, and as he did the large men started to beat her. And in the mixture of their laughing and her screaming she violently awoke, covered in sweat.
Over the course of that week she had the same dream every night, however the imagery became more distinct and vivid. And she no longer awoke with the beginning of the beatings, she endured them all. Each nights dream seemed to add more to the drama, and soon she found herself tied to a stone table with the thin man placing jars around her and holding some crude instruments. Then he took out a long jeweled knife and started to cut her abdomen open.
She woke up screaming that night, for she felt every blow and the horror of the cold metal cutting her open. She quickly pulled aside her blankets and night dress to make sure she was in one piece, only to find a long scratch down her belly where she had dreamed the knife opened her. A chill ran down her spine as she felt reality merge with the dream world. But her nervous hysteria only escalated when she noticed the mummy's head was no longer on the dresser where she usually kept it. It was sitting on her night stand, vacant eyes open as if it were piercing her mind. And most terrifying and impossible to Clodia, it seemed the face had changed.
The face seemed to have a grin that was never there before.
So disheveled by the entire incidents, Clodia took her prized Egyptian relic and put it in a small shed behind her building.
But she did not experience relief from the nightmare's that evening. In fact they seemed more intense and real, more than ever before. She endured the beatings and the disembowelment as if it was happening to her. The robed man took out her organs and put them in small jars. It was then that she understood. She was reliving what must have happened to the mummy. She was some sort of servant girl being mummified alive. But her consciousness endured for longer than seemed possible. With vital organs removed, she should have succumbed to the darkness of death. But she remained conscious through the horrible rite. Experiencing everything. The man who she now recognized as an Egyptian priest moved turned her face with a long hooked instrament, with a quick twist of his wrist he shoved the utensil into her nose and started to dig.
Clodia awoke covered in blood. It was a horrible nose bleed that turned her white cotton sheets a dark crimson. She dashed to the bathroom to stop the bleeding and clean herself up. Crying and shaking she entered her bedroom to change her bed clothes, and through tear blurred eyes she saw something that shattered her world of rational thought.
The mummy's head was on her night stand again. And the head seemed to be turning on its own toward her.
Still covered in blood, she ran from the apartment, blindly making her way to her parents home some miles away. After telling her parents of her horrible ordeal, Clodia's father took the head and burned it in a field far away from any of the family. He also made his daughter move back in with the family, so she would make a clean break with any association with the nightmares of that flat.
Clodia never mentioned the mummy's head or the nightmares to anyone, for fear they would think her mad. Until the 1970s, when the tout of King Tut brought Egyptology to the forefront once more. The nightmares returned, though not as vivid. It was if she was reliving the horror she experienced in the 20s once again. Clodia sought out help from a friend and she was referred to a Christian Counselor who helped her deal with her memories through therapy and hypnotism. The nightmares ceased, and the horror of the mummy's head faded into history as peace through grace quelled Clodia's fears.
Now as when I first heard the story in a small group with the counselor who ministered to Clodia, I cannot help but wonder if Clodia was imagining the paranormal activity surrounding the mummy's head. But after years of witnessing strange unexplained experiences myself, the story seems all the more chilling. What was the purpose of the dreams? Was the disembodied spirit of that long dead servant trying to reach out in sympathy to what it understood as a kindred soul, or was something more sinister happening? Were Clodia's wounds psychosomatic or a paranormal phenomena pointing to some diabolical plan at work?
Until Next time,

Dishing Out Some Harlem Heat
Scotties Roll To 3-1; It's No. 6 GHS Hosting No. 7 Malta
Homecoming 2013 was a huge success. The Glasgow Scotties took on the Shelby Coyotes and pounded them pretty hard, 42-9. The Scotties were on fire from start to finish.
Following the big homecoming win against Shelby, the Scotties traveled to Harlem and took on the Harlem Wildcats. They were victorious, 35-0,and the Scotties are now 3-1 and ranked No. 6 in the Montana Class B football poll.
The Scotties had nearly identical numbers in both total passing (178) and rushing yardage (178) against Harlem's defense for an unofficial total of 356 yards.
They couldn't have succeeded without their standouts, All-State player Johnathon Koessl, quarterback Jason Thibault, linebacker Tanner Roness and defensive end Jared Smith. Koessl rushed for two touchdowns, then caught a screen pass and raced 54 yards for his third touchdown. While at quarterback, Thibault completed seven of nine passes, with one interception and three touchdowns to Koessl, Keil Krumwiede (40 yards) and Chase Fossum (2 yards).
Defensively, the Scotties were led by the play of inside linebacker Roness and defensive end Jared Smith. The Scotties held a much improved Harlem team scoreless for their first shutout of the season while surrendering 177 yards on defense. On another note, Pablo Pascual, Hinsdale's new exchange student from Spain, was five of five on PAT's and had two rushes for 14 yards.
This upcoming week, Hinsdale's second exchange student, Valentin Robert, from France will be eligible to play for the Scotties as another kicker and running back (which should be a reason in itself to come watch them).The Scotties are gearing up this week to host rival Malta, ranked No. 7 in Class B, for a tough, but hopefully successful 2B conference game matchup on Friday night at Scottie Field. Hope to see you all in the grandstands this Friday night, wearing red and white, and cheering on your Scotties!
Here are some statistics from the Harlem game.
Glasgow Passing: QB. Jason Thibault (7-9-1- 178) and (4-30 rushing) Glasgow Rushing: All-State player Johnathon Koessl (11-68) and (1-54 receiving), defensive linebacker Tanner Roness (7-27), Dallas Capdeville (5-23), freshman Benji Phillips (2-18) Glasgow Receiving: standout player Keil Krumwiede (2-5) and (3-68), newcomer Pablo Pascual (2-14), and another strong asset to the Scottie football team, Chase Fossum (1-7) and (3-56).

Studies show how skin cancer evades promising drug
U.S. researchers have uncovered several ways in which melanoma can outsmart a promising experimental cancer pill called PLX4032, a finding that could lead to new drugs to keep the deadly skin cancer at bay, the teams said on Wednesday.
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles discovered two different resistance mechanisms that explain how melanoma stops responding to treatment with PLX4032, and a separate team at the Broad Institute of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard in Cambridge, Massachusetts, discovered a third.
They said the findings may lead to drug cocktails that could extend the effectiveness of PLX4032, a drug being co-developed by privately held biotechnology company Plexxikon and Roche.
Up to 80 percent of patients with a genetic mutation in the BRAF gene respond to PLX4032, but the effect lasts only seven to nine months for most patients.
"The question is, when these patients relapse, 'What happens?'" said Dr. Roger Lo of UCLA, who worked on one the two studies published on Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Lo and colleagues at UCLA have been studying changes in cancer tumors taken from patients before and after treatment with PLX4032. The hope is to pin down exactly how the cancer is outsmarting the medication, Lo said in a telephone interview.
PLX4032 belongs to a new class of drugs that target tumor cells with a mutation in a gene called BRAF. The mutations occur in 50 percent to 60 percent of melanoma patients.
Lo's team initially suspected the cancer was developing additional BRAF mutations to get around the drug because that is how many cancers elude targeted drugs.
"You hit it with an axe, but the cancer soon finds a way to mitigate the effects of the axe," Lo said in a statement.
The team found no secondary mutations.
Instead, they found that in some patients, the cancer acquired resistance to PLX4032 by making too much of a protein on the outside of cancer cells that allowed it to survive. In another, they found mutations in a gene called NRAS that allowed the cancer to short-circuit the BRAF mutation, making the drug obsolete.
"We have 16 resistant tumors studied in this work. They come from 12 separate patients from both Phase I and Phase II trials. What we find is there are distinct mechanisms that offer different types of escape," Lo said.
He said the two mechanisms they discovered account for about 40 percent of the cases of resistance studied by the team, and he thinks there will be several more.
In a separate study, a team led by Levi Garraway and colleagues of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT found that in some patients treated with PLX4032, a cancer gene called COT - also known as MAP3K8 - drives resistance.
They found elevated levels of a protein made by the COT gene in samples from three patients with advanced melanoma who were treated with the drug PLX4032.
"We have no doubt that other resistance mechanisms are also going to be important in B-RAF mutant melanoma, but by taking a systematic approach, we should be able to find them," Garraway said in a statement.
Lo said many of the survival pathways used by the cancer can be attacked with existing cancer drugs or drugs that are being studied in clinical trials.
By tracking these down, he thinks, researchers will be able to develop a cocktail of drugs that will attack the cancer and cut off its escape routes, turning the most deadly of skin cancers into a chronic disease, much like drug cocktails have done for the treatment of AIDS.
Plexxikon and Roche are enrolling patients in a Phase III clinical trial of the drug, which is typically the final stage of human testing before a new drug is submitted to regulators for an approval decision.

A Maine man faces drunken driving charges after allegedly using his riding lawn mower to make a beer run.
Police say convenience store employees turned away 51-year-old Tony Caulder when he came to the store earlier this month because they thought he was drunk.
Officials tell WMTW-TV that (http://bit.ly/17v9jgn ) the employees followed the Kennebunk man outside to make sure he wasn't getting into a car and called police when he rode off on the lawn mower.
Police charged him with operating under the influence after stopping him a short time later. Nobody answered at a phone listed in Caulder's name.

Eliminating the scourge of U.S. cotton — the boll weevil — offers opportunities for U.S. cotton production. According to Hal Lewis, cotton breeder and former director of research for Cotton Incorporated, producers might benefit again from growing the high fiber quality varieties commonly grown before the invasion of the weevil.
"The parent stocks of American upland long staple were derived from Mexican cottons," says Lewis, who lives in Conway, Ark. "The Mexican cottons possessed enough genetic diversity to provide the length, fineness and other characteristics contained in the American upland long staple varieties.
"In the letters and papers of William Dunbar, who lived in the early 1800s, it was stated that the new cottons from Mexico, when brought to Mississippi, were of rich color, very silky, fine and strong. For example, the Mexican variety Alvardo had long and fine staple. Another Mexican variety, Belle Creole, was improved and grown by H.W. Vick of Vicksburg, Miss., in the 1830s and 1840s."
Vick grew these Mexican varieties and selected the ones adapted to his area. In the early 1840s, he released Jethro, a silk cotton variety. In 1846, a small packet of Jethro seed was sent to J.V. Jones of Herndon, Ga., who grew the cotton in 1847 and 1848. In 1849, he had enough seed to plant an acre from which a bale was produced. This bale was sold on the nearby Augusta market where it was pronounced by merchants as the best cotton ever sold on that market — even better than Sea Island cotton.
Some of this cotton was shipped to a world exposition in London where it created a whirlwind of attention because of its high quality. On the basis of these reports, the production of Jethro and other upland long staple varieties was expanded significantly in the U.S. Cotton Belt. These varieties were reported to be long (1.25 to 1.5 inches), very fine, and lustrous. "They probably weren't exceptionally strong as far as individual fiber strength. We have better strength today," Lewis says. "However, they were fine, which means in order to make a 22 yarn, you could put five times as much fiber into that cross section of that yarn as you could if you were using coarse cotton."
Boll weevil invasion
In the early part of the 20th century, the Mexican boll weevil invaded the U.S. Cotton Belt, moving quickly into Texas and spreading eastward to the Carolinas. For a time, it appeared that the boll weevil would eradicate cotton production from the United States.
"The boll weevil was probably the most defining change in the cotton industry we've ever experienced," Lewis says. "In order to live with it, we had to change our cotton varieties. R. L. Bennett of USDA and E. C. Ewing of Mississippi State University in conjunction with other cotton state experiment stations developed new genetic types — earlier, more determinate varieties that could be produced with boll weevil pressure. That was a big change from what we previously grew.
"Many sorts of early short staple varieties were tried in the Mississippi Valley as well as elsewhere in the Cotton Belt. These new varieties were early, fast-fruiting types but their fiber quality was inferior to the long staple varieties that they replaced. They produced good crops, but the lint was so much reduced in quality that former customers found it not suitable to meet the needs of their clientele."
Eventually, the cotton industry responded by developing an eradication program that worked so well that today the boll weevil has been effectively removed from the U.S. Cotton Belt.
"However, we're basically still growing the same genetics — fast fruiting, early determinate plants — that were developed to counter the boll weevil," Lewis says. "We no longer have the boll weevil so we now can stop breeding for it. We have the opportunity to revisit our older, higher quality germplasm that we grew before the boll weevil. It's time that we go back and take a close look at the upland long staple cottons as a source of new genes to raise the current cotton production system to a new level of competitive capability in the global cotton textile industry. This whole germplasm collection is stored at Texas A&M, and is run by the USDA. I encourage Cotton Incorporated to help fund the efforts of the public research institutions to work with these old upland cottons.
"In the past, we stopped breeding long season cotton because by the time you reached August, the boll weevil would eat you up. We developed short, determinate plants that have 12 to 14 fruiting branches instead of 48. I'm not proposing that we grow plants that mature that late. I am proposing that we need to examine exactly what we need to be growing. What does the best job for the least input?
"Let's cross the genes of the older varieties into ones we're growing today. You try to get the best attributes of both into one. It's possible to breed a longer-season variety that will have much superior fiber quality."
Reward growers
Lewis also urged the cotton industry to develop an accurate and reliable methodology for estimating the magnitude and variance of critical fiber properties. "It is equally essential that the marketplace establish equitable value parameters for such fiber attributes so that the economic interest of all parties are fairly recognized. We must reward growers for producing this higher fiber quality cotton. The present marketing system refuses to place value on good, desirable traits. It also must be recognized that cotton is not really a commodity but is truly an identity preserved product. With cotton, every bale is classified, and its properties are measured on its own and stay with it and are never mixed until it reaches the textile mill.
"The cotton industry needs to step forward and provide the leadership and direction which will motivate the science and technology sectors to ensure future success in global competition. We cannot wait for the future; we must create it ourselves."
Lewis led preliminary work that resulted in the development of the cotton module builder, the boll weevil eradication program and the micronaire test procedure that helps producers find the best time to defoliate and harvest. Lewis also introduced three cotton varieties, four commercial soybean varieties and two commercial grain sorghum hybrids. He currently serves as president and general manager of Scientific Seed Company. In 2007, he was inducted into the Arkansas Agriculture Hall of Fame for making significant contributions to the state's agriculture.

With the challenges of cyber threats and new technology adoption — or even just the sheer volume of day-to-day data created at work — the reality is that it is getting more and more difficult for IT teams to remain innovative. This ongoing battle to tame complexity and enable modern business will not halt in 2016, but will become even more challenging for IT teams because of the exponential growth of data that needs to be accessible and protected. As we welcome the New Year, IT teams should look to identify the issues that will prohibit them from innovating and keeping their organizations on the leading edge.
But what will be at the top of the list for IT resolutions in 2016?
A recent report by Ipswitch, which polled 2,685 IT professionals, uncovered the biggest issues that will hold IT teams back from performing their jobs to the best of their ability in 2016 and beyond. Based on the data found, IT teams should expect the following resolutions to be at the top of their lists in the New Year.

table_display 2.1.0
Adds support for displaying your ActiveRecord tables, named scopes, collections, or plain arrays in a table view when working in rails console, shell, or email template. Enumerable#to_table_display returns the printable strings; Object#pt calls #to_table_display on its first argument and puts out the result. Columns you haven't loaded (eg. from using :select) are omitted, and derived/calculated columns (eg. again, from using :select) are added. Both #to_table_display and Object#pt methods take :only, :except, and :methods which work like the #to_xml method to change what attributes/methods are output. The normal output uses #inspect on the data values to make them printable, so you can see what type the values had. When that's inconvenient or you'd prefer direct display, you can pass the option :inspect => false to disable inspection.
