When a Land Rover is designed, the angle of the propshaft in relation to the two end flanges is carefully calculated in order that the vibration inherent with universal joints* is undetectable. The universal joints at each end of a propshaft are also set out of line, out of synchronisation to control this vibration, this is known as phasing.
Lifting the vehicle by raising the suspension alters the propshaft angle which often causes severe vibration. Aggressive mud tyres, noisy engine and transmission and the slower speeds associated with hard core off road vehicles usually masks the vibration and drivers often tolerate the additional drone or rattle from the shafts on overrun. A more road biased lifted Land Rover will most likely find the noise and vibration too obtrusive and will be keen to rectify it.
The most effective way to eliminate vibration is to fit a propshaft with a double cardan joint** at the gearbox end. Even Land Rover found this essential on the Land Rover Discovery 2.
Double cardan propshafts are successful vibration cure on vehicles around 2". Beyond 2" even the double cardan joint cannot always accommodate the angle without vibration.
* Universal joints working at an angle speed up and slow down during rotation.
** Double cardan joints have two universal joints joined by an intermediate shaft, the joints are phased or synchronised with each overcomes the speeding up and slowing down of a single joint thus reducing vibration.
It is a common misconception that fitting a wide angle propshaft will cure vibrations caused by raised suspension. The cause of the vibration is the angle of the shaft in relation to its end flanges, fitting a wide angle shaft does not change these angles. The vibration may seem reduced but this will be coincidental with a new heavier shaft in perfect condition.
Wide angle propshafts are necessary for vehicles fitted with very long travel suspension where on full axle drop out the original propshaft yoke will bind up straining the joints and ultimately locking the shaft solid which in extreme cases can literary tear the shaft in half.
A 32 degree yoke and joint will accommodate typical long travel suspension set ups on Land Rover based chassis using up to 11" travel shocks.

AUBURNDALE | The owner of an Auburndale septic tank business and her son, who were arrested in December for operating a chop shop, now face additional charges, including racketeering, Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said Friday.
AUBURNDALE | The owner of an Auburndale septic tank business and her son, who were arrested in December for operating a chop shop, now face additional charges, including racketeering, Polk Sheriff Grady Judd said Friday.
Judd said the chop shop, which was run by Brent Burgett, 29, of Auburndale, was one of the largest that detectives have seen in years.
"This is a place where lots of property goes after it was stolen," Judd said.
The chop shop was on two acres of property at the septic business called A-one Quality Services at 122 Dairy Road between Lakes Ariana and Mariana.
Aleta Burgett, 59, of Winter Haven, is Brent's mother. Judd said she knew about the operation while she ran the septic tank business.
Deputies first arrived at the business in December after they received a tip that the business was being used to sell drugs in exchange for firearms.
Some of the property discovered included:
A stolen Dodge truck found disassembled and in the process of being painted to disguise the truck.
Two Polaris ATVs
A diesel generator
Numerous flat-screen televisions
On Friday, Judd talked about the increased charges and additional people who have been arrested. A total of 89 charges were filed against 14 people. In all, detectives charged 10 with racketeering, a felony that carries a maximum of 30 years.
He said the chop shop had been in operation since 2004.
The Burgetts already were charged with owning/operating a chop shop, burglary, grand theft, possession of a motor vehicle with an altered vehicle identification number and conspiracy. They were out on bail when they were arrested early Friday.
Other operators at the chop shop arrested were:
Danny Cleveland, 24, of Auburndale. Judd said Cleveland was involved in nine burglaries and grand thefts. He was charged with racketeering, two counts of grand theft of a firearm, four counts of grand theft, three counts of burglary, grand theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of dealing in stolen property and three counts of criminal conspiracy.
Alexander Bove, 26, of Winter Haven. Detectives said that Bove disassembled stolen vehicles at the direction of Burgett. He was charged with racketeering.
Charlie Pickren, 24, of Polk City. Pickren set up burglaries and thefts for the group, detectives said. He was charged with racketeering, burglary of a structure and grand theft.
Gerald Burdine, 27, of Lakeland. Burdine was charged with racketeering, two counts of burglary, grand theft and grand theft auto.
Those charged who were already in jail for other crimes and for crimes related to the investigation were Calon Johnson, Polk City; Bruce Durham, Polk City, and Adam Sprague, Haines City.

Twitter's "Quickbar Uprising" Is Nothing: Wait Till The Ads Really Show Up
Some people hate Twitter's new iPhone app, and Twitter is listening: It's going to change the app slightly.
Which won't appease the people who hate Twitter's new iPhone app at all.
So if you're an app update hater looking for a silver lining, think of it this way: This gives Twitter, and its users, a taste of what's to come, when the service starts pushing ads in front of most users' eyeballs.
The people who hate the new app–a small but vocal and visible group of users like Apple blogger John Gruber–are upset about the "Quick Bar" Twitter installed across the top of the app this week, which "shows trends and other important things". And the Quick Bar isn't going away.
Twitter says a revised version of the app will push the bar to the very top of the app's display, instead of actually sitting on top of your Tweets in a translucent box.
But if Twitter really wanted to appease its critics, it would give them the ability to turn the Quick Bar off. And it's not going to do that, says CEO Dick Costolo.
It's easy to see why Twitter wants to keep the Quick Bar on the app. It thinks it can turn that sliver of phone screen real estate into ad revenue.
Twitter has already used the bar to display a "Promoted Trend", one of the two ad formats that are working for the company right now. And while "#tigerblood", one of the trends that's appearing on top of the app right now isn't an ad, clicking on it sends you to a search results page that does display an ad. The top result is a "Promoted Tweet" for a, um, Charlie Sheen poster.
I've never heard anyone complain–certainly not to this degree–about Twitter's other ad implementations so far*, and there's a reason for that. Promoted Trends and Promoted Users, the company's two main ad formats, are tucked away unobtrusively on a corner of users's Twitter.com homepages.
Which means in order to see them you a) have to use the site, which you don't have to do to use Twitter and b) have to look for them once you're there.
And Promoted Tweets, the company's first ad format, are very, very hard to find. Because a) they only show up in search results for certain terms and b) there just aren't many of them out there. Because Twitter has an inventory problem.
But that's going to change with Quick Bar. And it will change even more this spring, when Twitter starts running Promoted Tweets in users' main timelines on Twitter.com.
That's going to help Twitter solve its inventory problem, since it won't have wait for users to make certain searches in order to show them ads. But it's certainly going to freak out a subset of users who've grown used to Twitter as an ad-free space.**
Bear in mind that the last update only went live on Thursday, which means the only people grousing about the Quick Bar now are Twitter's savviest users — the ones who update iPhone apps immediately. My hunch is that vast majority of iPhone app users have yet to see it at all. But the in-stream ads will affect a much larger swath of Twitter's users.***
On the whole, those users will be much easier to please, or harder to anger****, than the Twitterati grousing over the last couple days.
But there are going to be an awful lot of them. Should be interesting.
*For the record, Costolo, via Twitter, says the Quick Bar isn't simply an ad delivery feature but an "alerting mechanism". Which also delivers ads.
**I don't have a problem with the ad concept. I like free, ad-supported Web services.
*** I haven't heard Twitter say they're going to show the instream ads on its iPhone app, but if they did they'd be that much more intrusive, given the small screen size. I asked Costolo to clarify, but he declined to comment, for now.
**** By the way, don't click on those "see who's viewing your profile" links. They're bogus.

Hubble's Sweeping View of the Coma Cluster of Galaxies
10-Jun-2008 9:00 AM EDT
Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI)
Available for logged-in reporters only
Newswise — NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures the magnificent starry population of the Coma Cluster of galaxies, one of the densest known galaxy collections in the universe.
The Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys viewed a large portion of the cluster, spanning several million light-years across. The entire cluster contains thousands of galaxies in a spherical shape more than 20 million light-years in diameter.
Also known as Abell 1656, the Coma Cluster is over 300 million light-years away. The cluster, named after its parent constellation Coma Berenices, is near the Milky Way's north pole. This places the Coma Cluster in an area unobscured by dust and gas from the plane of the Milky Way, and easily visible by Earth viewers.
Most of the galaxies that inhabit the central portion of the Coma Cluster are ellipticals. These featureless "fuzz-balls" are pale goldish brown in color and contain populations of old stars. Both dwarf, as well as giant ellipticals, are found in abundance in the Coma Cluster.
Farther out from the center of the cluster are several spiral galaxies. These galaxies have clouds of cold gas that are giving birth to new stars. Spiral arms and dust lanes "accessorize" these bright bluish-white galaxies that show a distinctive disk structure.
In between the ellipticals and spirals is a morphological class of objects known as S0 (S-zero) galaxies. They are made up of older stars and show little evidence of recent star formation; however, they do show some assemblage of structure -- perhaps a bar or a ring, which may give rise to a more disk-like feature.
This Hubble image consists of a section of the cluster that is roughly one-third of the way out from the center of the cluster. One bright spiral galaxy is visible in the upper left of the image. It is distinctly brighter and bluer than galaxies surrounding it. A series of dusty spiral arms appears reddish brown against the whiter disk of the galaxy, and suggests that this galaxy has been disturbed at some point in the past. The other galaxies in the image are either ellipticals, S0 galaxies, or background galaxies far beyond the Coma Cluster sphere.
The data of the Coma Cluster were taken as part of a survey of a nearby rich galaxy cluster. Collectively they will provide a key database for studies of galaxy formation and evolution. This survey will also help to compare galaxies in different environments, both crowded and isolated, as well as to compare relatively nearby galaxies to more distant ones (at higher redshifts).

Thread: Video Camera Recommendations
Video Camera Recommendations
For my Outback DD, I just ordered the Wake Video TopMount Mini tower camera mount and the P4 frame and clamp for the pylon. The camera mount can quickly be swapped between the tower frame and the pylon frame so it is usable from either location.
I've been trying to figure out which video camera would be best. I was kind of centered on the newest GoPro but I was concerned that the lack of zoom would mean that the skier at the end of up to 75' of line would be tiny in the video. I posted on the GoPro Facebook page and respondees pretty much confirmed it - essentially all of the people who responded said the GoPro was probably not the right choice for a boat mounted camera.
I looked at the POLAROID SPORTS CAMERA thread below and it seemed that all of the cameras had at least one major short coming - either they didn't seem to have zoom capability or they only had a digital zoom which is basically just pixel replication and, so, is not good quality. The Polaroid, Drift, and Contour had no zoom and the Vantage had digital zoom. Similarly, I looked at all the "action camcorders" on the Best Buy site and most had no zoom and the rest only had digital zoom.
I am now thinking the Sony HandyCam HDR-CX220 might be the best option - it is standard camcorder with optical image stabilization - it is NOT waterproof or "action" but it has a good frame rate, optical stabilization, and optical zoom. I'd better not drop it much, it can't be board or ski mounted, and I'd have to stow it if it started to rain but I'm thinking it should take good video and be zoomable enough so that you can recognize the skier.
What are the experiences of others? What are some of the cameras actually being used by forum members to take video of skiers from inside the boat (whether mounted or handheld)? If you could post links to actual video taken with the camera it would be really appreciated.
BTW: The guy at Wake Video says, "We have not tested the GoPro, but we have not had negative feedback either. Usually if a camera does not work we hear about it." If anyone here has used the GoPro I hope to hear from them and see some ski video.Richard (LakePerson1952)

Did you see the video Jack posted last week? He used a GoPro mounted on the tower to film his skiing.
Pretty good example of what you'd get.2011 Mobius LSV
I did see Jack's videos (after I posted). I'm hoping he will respond with his impression of the video quality (I'm not sure if YouTube degrades video when it is uploaded). My take on what I saw was that my concerns about the inability to zoom may be valid (for my main purposes for the video). I probably should have posted that my objectives are to get video of myself of sufficient quality and detail to help me improve my techniques AND to get videos of my grandkids where I can see their faces pretty well. Jack's video were good and will be great to re-enjoy the water next winter but I'm not sure I think they were close up enough for my primary purpose - I do suspect I will be taking a good amount of video for "general purposes" too.Richard (LakePerson1952)

hey has anyone tried the suction cup mount? I was thinking it might work towards the back of the boat ... but as I don't have the boat yet I have no idea where it could possibly go?!?!

I wouldn't recommend a GoPro. They have huge wide-angle lenses about 170 degrees. They are great for point of view and close ups but exactly the opposite of what you are want for a longer distance camera.
You might search for scuba cameras to fulfill your desire for waterproof.
Does your regular point and shoot camera have HD video? You may not need a dedicated video camera, just put use your regular camera. You can buy waterproof housings for most cameras. The cannon housings are relatively inexpensive, this is what I use for scuba diving. When it comes to underwater cameras, you are better off buying a regular camera and then putting it in some sort of waterproof enclosure.
There are also cheap water-tight bags that work surprisingly well, such as:http://www.leisurepro.com/p-apc465/a...with-hard-lens
I use a flat one for my phone at the beach and the pictures look good, you wouldn't know it's shooting through a plastic bag.2007 Mobius LSV

The Go Pro videos may be a little better watching them from my thumb drive but it is what it is I guess. Zoom is the problem but I can live with it. I knew it when I bought it. Suction cupping it on the back doesn't help much for zoom. I do like to suction cup it to the wake board and ski. The new hero 3+ might be a little better but still no zoom. If it did zoom, you still would have to put it on a swivel of some sort.Jack Beams

A couple of times now I have been ready to pull the trigger on a Go Pro, but I end up reading a bunch of online reviews about the software freezing, camera shutting down randomly, and assorted other technical issues. I know a bunch of guys on here have them, anyone encountered these problems and is it bad enough to steer you to another camera? Want to buy one, just can't seem to get comfortable enough that it will be trouble-free.Jeff

tarheelskier - I bought a GoPro last year - the package that has everything - It is great for wake surfing but not wake boarding or skiing - You have to pay attention to the camera as it will randomly cut off and the software to edit the videos is a royal pain - it does freeze up and takes for ever! You can zoom in with the software but the image is all blurred. I use it for wake surfing only!!KRiley

Regardless of the camera, mounting it on the tower is a location were you will get significant movement due to it being forward of the stern and elevated. I recommend a stern mount or a mount on the rear pole. You can't judge video quality with YouTube due to upload and editing configurations. The hero3's have amazing clarity. The h3+ has unbelievable frame rates, pixels and abilities. The wifi with remote and more importantly, smart phone link is awesome. I use it all the time.
This is with a h2, flat lens conversion, 1080p on wifi on my mono pod.

Thanks, I think this is a good program for a number of people.
I am not one who generally feels compelled to be politically correct (with a preface like that, here comes some political correctness), but I wish that they had not used the term "confined to a wheelchair." Once someone pointed out to me that without the wheelchair I would truly be confined, probably to my bed, I saw that the term "confined" really does not fit. With the modern wheelchair, I am freed rather than confined.
Sorry for that digression. The information in this is very helpfu.
Thanks again for posting it!

A colleague of the great scientist James Watson remarkedthat Watson was always lounging around, arguing about problems instead ofdoing experiments. He concluded that There is more than one way of doing goodscience. It was Watsons form of idleness, the scientist went on to say, thatallowed him to solve the greatest of all biological problems: the discovery ofthe structure of DNA. It is a point worth remembering in a society overlyconcerned with efficiency.
Adapted from John C. Polanyi, Understanding Discovery
Do people accomplish more when they are allowed to do thingsin their own way? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point ofview on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples takenfrom your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
Individualism is the key to so many success stories in oursocieties. Having the freedom to pursue our own goals in life allows us tofollow our dreams and instincts, thereby increasing the opportunity for notonly happiness but also fulfillment of our potential to achieve in life.
Can you just imagine a society where we would have to doexactly what we were told to do? Not only would this affect an individual'sinner happiness, but also no doubt the world would not progress at the samerate that it has done since the changes made to our modern Earth and way ofliving.
Thankfully, in Western society at least, we are nowadaysmostly encouraged to be creative in our thoughts and actions, which hasresulted in many great artists, scientists, business people and world leaders.For better or for worse, without these people and the influence they have hadon so many aspects of our daily lives, the world would not be the place it istoday.
Freedom in life can either bring the worst or the best inus, depending on our desires. However, for those who can use the freedom in acreative and efficient way, people will shine. I believe, there is a hidden talentin all of us, just that most of us spend our whole life not finding it. Thereason for this is mainly due to the fact that we are usually either not searchingfor it, not allowed the opportunity or restricted and not supported in thenecessary ways to find our inner creativity and thereby achieve what we arecapable of. However, for those who we are often envious of having their dreamjob, these are the people who often achieve the most in life and make adifference. This clearly makes sense, as people are naturally going to puttheir heart and soul into something in which they have a passion for, and oftensuccess is not only down to intelligence and ingenuity, but also, of course,hard work. However, if you hate your work, you will naturally andunderstandably resent any extra time in which you have to put into a task.
From the moment we are born, we have to follow orders andvery soon we begin to rebel against them. This is because we are instinctivelyhappier when we are allowed to do things in our own chosen way and this willalways bring out the best in people.

Editor's note: Earlier this year, Steven Sinofsky announced Windows support for ARM processors (Windows on ARM or WOA). His post on the Building Windows 8 blog included the following news about Office:
"WOA includes desktop versions of the new Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. These new Office applications, codenamed "Office 15", have been significantly architected for both touch and minimized power/resource consumption, while also being fully-featured for consumers and providing complete document compatibility."
In the months since that announcement, there has been a great deal of speculation about what we are delivering. David Brodsky, Partner Test Manager and Josh Pollock, Principal Development Manager join Office Next to walk you through what Office for Windows RT is and why it exists; specific optimizations we've made (and why most of those will benefit you on other platforms too); what wasn't possible and the functionality differences that resulted; and finally how to get Office Home & Student 2013 RT.
The Birth of Office for Windows RT
Shortly before the January 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), we were asked if we could create a version of Office that would run on reference hardware with an ARM processor. This led to Steve Ballmer's CES demo of Word and PowerPoint running on ARM. Office for Windows RT was born.
Why Create Office for Windows RT?
In doing research for Office for Windows RT, we spoke to people to understand how they use current, in-market tablets. We wanted to understand what was missing that would make for a more compelling experience. One answer was nearly unanimous – people wanted a complete Office experience; not just a viewer. However, they also wanted a version of Office that was optimized for the tablet form factor – most importantly supporting touch and providing long battery life.
Office Home & Student 2013 RT is Office running on the ARM-processor based Windows RT OS. It is full Office built from the same code base as the other versions of Office, with small changes that were required as a result of differences between Windows 8 and Windows RT. Our goal when starting the Office for Windows RT project was to deliver:
- ARM as a "first class" platform, including the Same look and feel as x86/x64, same level of polish and reliability, full Office feature-set and fidelity and Service parity (e.g., save to SkyDrive, roaming settings, other Windows Live integration, Office.com experience, etc.)
- Stunning battery life (both active and idle), great performance and responsiveness
While we knew we wanted to deliver the same great Office experience across Windows and Windows RT, we also knew that Windows RT gave us an opportunity to optimize the product for the type of devices that would run on this new platform.
Optimizing Office for the Windows RT Platform
The Office Home & Student 2013 RT applications – Word, Excel, OneNote, and PowerPoint run on the desktop on Windows RT. Our highest priority was making sure that customers can successfully do the things that are most important to them when using Office on these Windows RT devices.
When you use the Office applications on Windows RT, you'll find yourself in a familiar environment that feels just like what you are used to using on other platforms. You may also notice some of the enhancements we made to optimize Office for the Windows RT environment – like automatically enabling touch mode (but if you don't notice and find that everything just works as you'd expect, that's okay too).
When you look at the specifications for Windows RT devices, you'll find that most share some common characteristics:
- Touch-enabled;
- Portable with the ability to run on battery for long periods of time;
- Memory capabilities start at about 2GB;
- SSD drives of 16 to 32 GB capacity; and
- Wireless connectivity with some having 3G
We've optimized Office for these capabilities. We've already described our touch investments in the post "Using the new Office with touch." In addition to these broad investments in touch, Office applications are enabled for "touch mode" by default, so the touch experience is better out of the box.
Let's take a look at some of the other improvements we've made while developing Office for Windows RT.
Maximizing Battery Life
Battery life is a difficult problem that requires good citizenship from all parts of the system to get the best possible results. A single poorly-performing component, whether hardware, driver, or software can significantly reduce the delivered battery life. In Office Home & Student 2013 RT, we carefully evaluated the impact Office has on the system and then made deep investments to ensure that we met the overall citizenship goals for the platform. For example, ideally Office would have no perceptible user impact at idle. In reality, Office apps need to maintain such things as data freshness which necessarily uses some power. Where we couldn't remove a feature's impact on battery, we invested in reducing the extent of that impact. Here are some of the common challenges we addressed.
Software Needs to Let the CPU Sleep
The most actionable thing that drives battery utilization is how often we wake up the CPU to do work, especially when the user is not actively typing, scrolling, etc. CPU power state transitions are expensive. To reduce these transitions, we want to avoid breaking up work across multiple CPU wake ups. Instead, whenever possible, we try to do all the required work at once. We focused on two things to reduce net wake ups: 1) coalesce timers and 2) remove the need for some timers entirely.
The primary mechanism that software uses to ask the system to wake it up is timers. Prior to Windows 8, Windows was not "tickless" meaning you were guaranteed to wake up every ~16 milliseconds. Timers were also often set to wake the process after a specific amount of time or repetitively on a given interval. Windows 8 added new coalescable timers which allow programs to be more battery-life friendly by specifying a range of time to wake up rather than an absolute interval. This allows the system to cluster wake ups with the end result being more CPU sleep time. This extends battery life dramatically.
In Office 2010, there were some situations where applications would wake up the CPU more than 1000 times per minute during idle. With the new Office, we have reduced that by 95% when the user isn't interacting with the program. Most of the changes are in how Office interacts with the system at a deep level, so you shouldn't notice any difference. However, there are a few changes that an observant user might notice. One example is the blinking cursor. There is no hardware or operating system support for a blinking cursor so software implements this feature using timers. To minimize the power impact, Office on Windows RT stops blinking the cursor after a few seconds if the user stops interacting with the application. When the user is away, we just show a fixed, non-blinking cursor. This requires no timer and is the best power citizenship option. This is just one example you might notice, and there are several others you won't notice at all until your battery lasts longer than expected.
Take Advantage of the Hardware
Windows RT is designed to run on ARM System on a Chip (SoC) processors. Unlike a traditional PC where the CPU, graphics card, network adapter, and other systems components are generally all separate pieces, SOC processors combine these components onto a single integrated chip. This improves performance and reduces power consumption. It also guarantees that we can rely on the hardware for expensive operations like playing back videos.
Windows 8 detects this support and takes advantage of it. This is a real benefit to software vendors. For example, in the past, we would write code to detect the level of graphics support delivered by the video card and would write software-based "fallback" code to use when the graphics card in the system did not provide the required capabilities. When using the fallback software-based algorithms, execution cannot be optimized to the extent that can be done when implementing the same algorithm as a dedicated feature of the processor. This impacts both performance and battery life – often dramatically. We've taken advantage of these hardware offloads in situations like showing video in PowerPoint. By doing so, we improve the overall battery life of the system.
While the impetus for doing all the work I just described was the desire to deliver great battery life for Office for Windows RT, the fact that it is the same code base as the other Office products means that all users benefit from these changes regardless of what edition of Office they are using.
Using Less Resources When They are Scarce
While running, most programs load or create a great deal of temporary information that is necessary for the program to display information on the screen or to perform other operations. To improve the program's performance and responsiveness, this information is saved in memory, called caching, so that it can be reused without the overhead of reloading or recalculating. When multiple programs are running the amount of memory available can become limited requiring the operating system to swap out some or all of the program to make that memory available to other programs. This "memory paging" is expensive and can reduce the responsiveness of the system.
Office detects when the user is not actively using the system. When this occurs, Office releases these temporary caches. By having Office determine what memory can most optimally be released rather than relying on operating system memory paging, both Office and the rest of the programs on the system benefit by more effectively utilizing limited memory.
Make Room for the User's Information
Windows RT systems generally have Solid State Disk (SSD) drives. These drives are fast and battery efficient. However, while the cost per gigabyte continues to decline, these drives are still more expensive that traditional rotational drives. As a result, these drives tend to have smaller capacities. When programs are loaded on today's large rotational drives that can be over a terabyte in size, most users don't notice the space used by the program. However, when loaded on a 16GB SSD the operating system and programs can fill a significant portion of the total drive.
While developing Office for Windows RT, we carefully evaluated each feature's impact on the overall footprint of Office on the drive. For example, rather than including large number of templates and clipart on the drive, we opted to put frequently used templates on the drive while making the more extensive collection available via the start center in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and also online .
One area that was identified for space savings was language packs. Many OEMs load multiple languages onto the systems they ship. If a user only uses one or two languages, the language resources such as spellers, grammar checkers, and UI strings for the other languages historically have continued to take space on the drive. Office is designed to clean up unused languages packs that are not configured for use by the user. If a user decides later that they want one of the languages that were removed the system will automatically download the required files from Windows Update.
Helping Users Avoid Bill Shock
One of the features we expect to see in many Windows RT systems is cellular network support. A characteristic of these networks is that their use is often metered. That is, users pay for the data they utilize – either some amount of money per megabyte of usage or with a monthly cap and then additional fees if they exceed that cap. As a good citizen on these devices we felt we needed to help users know when they are using a metered cellular network and give them the choice whether or not they want to pay for the usage or not take a particular action. Internally we referred to this as helping users avoid bill shock.
Windows RT provides APIs that allow applications including Office to understand the user's current network state. We can identify if the cellular network is unrestricted or if usage is metered (the user is paying for their usage), if the user is approaching or over their limit, and whether or not they are roaming. When we detect that the cellular network is metered we throttle network traffic to reduce our impact. When users are roaming or over their cap we inform them and give them the options to turn off network traffic. Ultimately, the user knows best what they are trying to do and whether or not they are willing to pay to do it, so we try to give the user more feedback and control.
Benefits for All
While the work I've just described was done to optimize Office for Windows RT, most users will benefit no matter what edition of Office they choose to use. Office automatically determines whether or not the necessary operating system and device support is present to enable these enhancements. The majority of the changes are enabled when Office is running on any edition of Windows 8. Only features such as support for touch or cellular networks require additional hardware support.
Differences between Office for Windows and Office for Windows RT
|Word 2013
|Word 2013 RT
Screen shots of the two applications look very similar because the products are very similar by design. Differences between the versions are subtle. Office Home & Student 2013 RT includes the vast majority of Office Home & Student 2013 features available on PCs, and the features customers use most. Windows RT tablets have special requirements for security, reliability, and battery life, and we've worked to ensure that the RT version is well-suited for the platform. Beyond the differences listed below, Office for Windows RT is fully-featured Office with complete document compatibility.
- Macros, add-ins, and features that rely on ActiveX controls or 3rd party code such as the PowerPoint Slide Library ActiveX control and Flash Video Playback
- Certain legacy features such as playing older media formats in PowerPoint (upgrade to modern formats and they will play) and editing equations written in Equation Editor 3.0, which was used in older versions of Office (viewing works fine)
- Certain email sending features, since Windows RT does not support Outlook or other desktop mail applications (opening a mail app, such as the mail app that comes with Windows RT devices, and inserting your Office content works fine)
- Creating a Data Model in Excel 2013 RT (PivotTables, QueryTables, Pivot Charts work fine)
- Recording narrations in PowerPoint 2013 RT
- Searching embedded audio/video files, recording audio/video notes, and importing from an attached scanner with OneNote 2013 RT (inserting audio/video notes or scanned images from another program works fine)
Getting Office Home & Student 2013 RT
Office Home & Student 2013 RT is only available on Windows RT devices and is not sold standalone. The Windows RT devices available at Windows RT General Availability will include preview editions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. After the final edition of Office Home & Student 2013 RT is released in a customer's language, their Windows RT device will be automatically updated with the final edition for free via Windows Update (Wi-Fi connection required). Customers can expect to get these updates starting in early November through January depending on their language. We'll publish the specific update schedule on October 26 on the Office blog.
Developing Office Home & Student 2013 RT has been a ton of work but also great fun. You'll find Office for Windows RT to be a full-featured member of the Office family. We hope the work we've done helps make Office a great part of your Windows RT experience. We can't wait to see customers put it to use!

More Information
"Different Forms of One We" is a constant theme in my work. It is the immense complexity of the human experience that fascinates me, and my work is approached from every aspect, angle, tangle, dimension, possibility, under, over, outside, inside, and the mysterious is hidden deep within. For me, abstract art unleashes the mind from all constrictions, forms, classifications, configurations, and other constraints laced into our "rational" interpretation of the universe. It is the constant play with creativity that inspires me, and how the endless display of possibilities triggers off multiple reactions of ideas, thoughts, feelings, and responses as myriad as the endless play of forms, line, color, shapes, etc.
Other works include installation projects, public art projects, and murals. Land art installations , environmental art, and large scale public art projects are directions I am interested in going, along with design and architetecture. Video is probably next.
I am a multi-dimensional artist, concentrating on masks for about ten years. There is something of the person's soul, if you will, or essence, that comes through the process. A past life emerges, a reincarnation or interpretation, if you will again, of where we came from, bones burried in ledges of sediment or fired in the volcanic lava emerge from the person's face mold and clay firing combination. There is a story there to tell, open to multi-layered discoverings. The mask of the person's face is just a real as the person, just reflected in other dimensions. The clay and I have a special bond, a give and take, if you will, of my will and the essence of the clay. This interplay between all the forces in the past, present and future, fascinates me.
WILD AT ART is a euphemism I use to describe my art. More information at www.kyzart.com.
EXHIBITIONS (all juried)
Shipping, handling , and insurance are the buyer's responsability. There are intellectual property rights that the artist assumes buyers respect. In the event that a work of art is sold in the future, the State of California mandates a 3% return of any profits to the artist.
The artist is pursuing a policy of 30% return to the artist of any future resale, to help overturn the long ond onerous tradition of the "starving artist syndrom." Hopefully the collectors of my work would want to work towards overturning the devastating struggle of so many, too many, artists, and if not a % return to the artist, at least give back to and support the art community.

Two brothers fought off and helped detain a 15-year-old armed intruder who tried to rob them early Wednesday morning in New London, police said.
A teen, wearing a hockey mask and carrying a knife and a loaded gun, invaded a home on Crystal Avenue just before 3 a.m. on Wednesday, according to police.
Richard and Kevin Dennis were asleep when the teen broke in, but woke up and acted quickly.
Richard went toward the teen.
"That's when he hit me in the head with the gun. Then I picked him up and he started wailing on my back with the butt of the gun," Richard said.
Kevin got a gun to help his brother, and told the teen to drop his weapon and stay still.
"I heard my brother say, 'Kevin, I need help. He has a gun.' When I heard that, (I) grabbed my gun and went flying through the door," Kevin Dennis said.
The teen did drop his weapon.
"He dropped it the moment he saw me. I got mine. The fight was over. It was night and day," Kevin Dennis said.
When police arrived, they arrested the intruder.
The teen was charged with home invasion, burglary, second-degree assault with a firearm, first-degree threatening and carrying a pistol without a permit. His name has not been released because of his age.
The resident who was assaulted had minor injuries, but declined medical treatment, police said.

Yankees Honor Boston
I'm a Red Sox fan through and through, and I never thought I'd say this, but the New York Yankees are a classy organization. From a die-hard Sox fan who thought you were all bums for 28 years, thank you. You're no longer bums - just our fellow ballplayers, and fellow Americans.

Is it possible that we've been taking our Hot Wheels for granted? That we don't consider the toll those bends and loops take over time? Well, now there's a Hot Wheel that records video of its traumatic life. Like so.
The Video Racer's camera records its adventures at 30 to 60 frames per second, and you can view the footage either on a small LCD on the car's underbelly or on your laptop via USB. There's even a custom video editor, so you can splice clips together and add your own soundtrack. It'll be available sometime this fall for $US60.

GET DAZ STUDIO 4.5! See why you should do it today!
Subscribed but no longer getting notices.... again!
Robert Freise Posts: 2,632
They're hit and miss for me and sometimes come after I've already read the posts
DWG said:The other thing Dynamic Clothing Control adds is the facility to position a wind-source, which has obvious possibilities with the capes and other floaty items.
OK and thanks for the tip. I did buy the Batman/Superman/Girl/Woman capes, cowl, hoods, etc. I think I'm getting the hang of Dynamic Clothing in DAZ because I have tried it before in Poser. Maybe I WILL go ahead and buy the paid control, as it would be neat to morph the capes as though they're flapping in the breeze.
anikad Posts: 1,919
And now since this upgrade can't render anything without Daz crashing halfway through. Not much point having a 3d rendering software that doesn't render.
cwichura Posts: 1,042RAMWolff said:Subscribed but no longer getting notices.... again!
When you get a notice for a thread, you have to read that thread again before you'll get another notice. But you also have to be logged in when you read it, or it doesn't recognize that you've read it. And since DAZ thinks we should be logged out after .009535 seconds of logging in, there's a good chance some of the threads you've checked via the notification E-mail, but had been logged out so didn't get recorded as having checked it.
Now, before opening any of the notification E-mails from DAZ, I first manually go to daz3d.com and log in. DAZ's insistence on logging people out in the time it takes to blink is one of the most user hostile features of their website...
I'm always logged in in the forums but I have to constantly log on at the store side of things. I understand what your saying but that's not an issue for me here in the forums. If I submit a small post like the one above I start getting the notifications again. Plus DAZ's auto system for unsubscribing folks from threads is really presumptuous. Shouldn't matter one lick, the person subscribed should be the only one that unsubscribes themselves from a thread period!
anikad Posts: 1,919
Do we actually get unsubbed? I've been in before to check the subscription under control panel and all of my subs were listed but I was not getting messages.
Yea, they are there but the notifications themselves stop for some of us (I'm no the only one with this issue) for unknown reasons!
frank0314 Posts: 10,821
Happens to me too. If I don't post to a thread in a week or so I won't get notifications. Other times I loose active ones. No rhyme or reason.
Yea, gotta be a setting that they need to change and they should change it to "subscriber only" for unsubscribing or no longer wishing to receive notifications... ANNOYING!
murje03_0f22dccf2b Posts: 2GigaBeat said:Whoohoo! Found my first bug in the new DS4.5. :coolgrin:
In the Render Settings pane when selecting Dimensions / Preset to Active Viewport it will automatically tick Constrain Proportions (which it never did in DS4.0) therefore when you restart DS4.5 the Dimensions / Preset has become Customs instead of staying as Active Viewport which in effect maintains a boxed window. This is really annoying. >:-(
Someone please look into this issue. I'm encountering the same behavior in 4.5. In Render Settings, when I select "Active Viewport" from the preset pull-down, the "Constrain Proportions" checkbox is automatically checked. If I manually uncheck said box, the preset pull-down changes to "Custom".
The problem is: I do *NOT* want DAZ Studio defaulting to a viewport preset other than "Active Viewport" when I start the application. This is very, very annoying. If anyone has figured out a way to fix this, please reply.
Yes, the render setting is annoying...
I came here to log-in and report this as well, and see if anyone else was having this issue, or reported it as a bug.
Seems to me from others encountering this behavior that it is probably a bug.
I tried to rectify the situation by saving both a custom workspace, and a custom style with the viewport render settings set to active to no avail. Each time I start up DSPro 4.5 it reverts back to that "custom" setting that I do not want. Very annoying indeed...
On another note; The fresh install of DSPro 4.5 seems to have gone smoothly without any hiccups, and the new SN issued to me has all the plugins available from the looks of it. Still more testing to do, but is going well so far.

O.k., found a hiccup...
The bridge to Hexagon 184.108.40.206 is not working via DSPro 4.5 "to" Hexagon, but is working via Hexagon to DSPro 4.5 first.
If I try to send something to be worked on from DS it refuses to open Hexagon, and throws an error message stating a version of Hexagon 188.8.131.52 or higher is required (I have 18.104.22.168 installed).
However, if I open up Hex first, and send something to DSPro 4.5 Hex opens DS, and then I can send items from DS back to Hex to perform work such as morphs, 3D painting, etc. Sending the items back to DS creates morph targets correctly.
The issue definitely seems to be with DSPro 4.5 activating the Hexagon bridge.
Anyone else experience this?
*On a positive note; I am happy to report that the FaceGen Modeler/Exporter is working correctly in DSPro 4.5.

The Dynamic Cloth plug-in is extremely slow. Plus it has a tendency to get the "wiggles". I still view it as useful for really quick scenes....but IMHO, it is still in the toy stage. Dynamic cloth isdifficult in any software. I find the new Auto-Fit and collision detection more reliable.Post edited by peteVault on

http://preta3d.com/blog/2012/08/21/reality-2-5-has-been-released/ Lux also has just been upgraded to RC4 make sure you get it from their main page.
If that was directed towards me I won't be submitting a bug report on the Hexagon bridge issue.
Apparently something changed in dependency handling, and it wasn't a bug, but more of an inconvenience for rebuilds.
Usually when I rebuild a PC to factory defaults I can get away with repopulating the Programs Files with about ninety percent of my software. Only a few require complete re-installs (always DAZ Studio amongst them) to place proper dependencies and registry parameters.
I re-installed Hex 126.96.36.199, and DSPro 4.5 is now linked with it, and handling the bridge properly. All is well... No bug here.
Regarding the render settings bug; I did submit a bug report for that one, and if anyone else here that is experiencing that bug would like to add to the report, please do.

This sounds interesting, pete.c44: So, do you load the Dynamic cloth item into your scene, and then, without doing the "Draping," try to position it with Auto-Fit and/or Collision Detection? What about "Conform To"? I'd like to know more about your technique. I'm going to experiment with this myself.
DisparateDreamer Posts: 2,181
I"m still wicked bummed out that pwCatch does not, actually work in DS4. I had to export scene to DS3, kind of defeats the purpose of using DS4. Not cool. :( Any chance it'll get fixed?? Seriously, it's a staple and I can't fathom NOT having pwCatch.

Daz 64 bit mac will not install and after installing Daz 32 every thing was crap, files do not work right, things are lost, selection is slow. it even screwed up the old 64 bit Daz.

Uh, did you uninstall version 4x with the 4.5 Installer before installing version 4.5?
Now, no matter what I try, the Smart Content pane in DAZStudio4.5Pro, the Macintosh version, is not working. It doesn't matter what figure or item is selected, there's just nothing that shows there. There's just that "Where Are My Products?" bit. The same thing happened with DAZStudio4.xAdvanced and 4.xPro. Is this ever going to work on a Macintosh? I'm running version 10.8.1 of the OS, the latest version.

My problems with DAZStudio 4.0 and 4.5 have been cleared up. Mike 5 and Vickie 5 work fine. It is only the WACOM Intuos tablet mouse that does not work with the tabs. I have also installed these products on a new inexpensive AMD processor notebook as a target.;-)

I'm having a problem with pwGhost and DS 4.5. I upgraded to 4.5, reset my pwGhost download and installed version 1.2. But when I try to render, all I get is a solid flat color instead of the pwGhost effect. While rendering, it gives me this error message:
3Delight message #45 (Severity 2): S2069: the interface of shader 'F:/DAZ/DAZStudio4/shaders/pwGhost.sdl' is invalid
The file is there, so I'm out of guesses.

First off, I really like the 4.5 version of Daz. For me it seems to run more smoothly, I have less jerking motion when spinning the camera angles. Clothing fits one hell of a lot quicker, and my PC chokes less, so kudos!
My one issue, Goz does not work. I got the new version that the site directed me to, installed it, and it does not show up in Daz at all that I can find. Somewhat bummed about this, as I need to remake one of my main chars, and he needs a bit of zbrush work.
Zev0 Posts: 5,837
GoZ works fine. Instead, rather say it does not work for me. By saying it doesn't work at all is a big assumption and people read into that.

People smoke 'cuz they're nervous and insecure, the way I eat pretzels or Brian Posehn sets fire to railroad bums. If that's true, then the crowd at Dante's last night must have doubted its very existence.
Portland is one of the most fun cities on the planet. I'm going to end up living there some day, after making my $30 million when my sitcom, WIGGER THAN LIFE, goes into worldwide syndication. Whoever's in charge of Portland has a strong sense of visual friendliness, and everything has a cool sense of design, whimsy and beauty to it. Even the fucking water fountains. Wow. If they could add filigree and flying buttresses to homeless people, they would.
There was a huge line outside Dante's when we arrived, fresh from scotch 'n' steaks. There was an ominous warning to "fire performers" in the green room. Zach Galifianakis, who joined the tour last night and who'll be with us through San Francisco, kept a brave face despite losing his "America: Why I Love Her" torch juggling opening.
The show: "wow" pronounced like "fuck". The crowd was more brilliant than I was, most of the time. Smilin' Jim Goad (of ANSWER ME! infamy) read a new list of fun stereotypes ("Every 20th Eskimo birth results in a delicious king crab"), Brian stomped around and shouted about masturbating, Maria stayed motionless and still cracked everyone up, and Zach banged around on the piano and made it very hard for me to follow him.
After the show I was involved in several mini-reunions from various stages of my life. My old college roommate, Jeff, and another friend of mine hung out. They live in the solar world now, and had to leave, but it was great to see them. Jeff had earlier directed me to Excalibur Comics, which was a really cool store, so Brian and I were able to get well. I also had a mini-summit meeting with several of the Netjerks from jimgoad.com's Netjerk Lounge. And my old buddy David Roche, formerly of the Mash Notes, regaled me with stories about being a vegetarian anarchist and substitute teacher. I hope he makes me another mix tape. Everyone, more or less, ended up at the Shanghai Tunnel, where the Nicest Doorman In The World arranged tables for us outside so we could drink in the night air. And the alcohol.
Brian and I got up early the next morning to wander the stacks at Powell's City of Books. We bought big bags each of horror and sci-fi (I found Arthur Machen's THE GREAT GOD PAN—wheeee!) and then we loaded onto the RV for the drive into Eugene. I've been thinking, these past three days of having documentary cameramen film my every move (we have to keep clipping these bulky lavaliere battery packs to our belts). What I've been thinking is this: I now have objective evidence that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, and anyone else on a reality show, is in fact a worthless, empty shitbag full of howling winds and crying children wandering through ruins. Being observed 24/7 is soul-killing. I really had no idea it'd be this much of a drag.
But to want to do it continuously, season after season, year after year of your life, bespeaks a narcissism with an undertow that not even light and information can escape. 90% of life is boring, unmemorable, and worthy of being consigned to oblivion. The sad fact is we're wasting more and more of our free time watching other people's worthless 90%.
Scotch, fast!

South Korean president Lee Myung-bak has actively sought to raise South Korea's profile and contributions to the international community by promoting the idea of a "Global Korea." Under this framework, South Korea has proven itself a capable and congenial host for an array of international meetings, including the G20 in November of last year, the Busan High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness held last month, and the upcoming Nuclear Security Summit this coming March.
But South Korea has also found that hosting a meeting and shaping the international agenda are two different things. While last year's G20 meeting was successful in initiating a reallocation of governance shares and contributions to international financial institutions, South Korea found itself in no position to broker compromises on "rebalancing" between the United States and China. Preparations for the Nuclear Security Summit have been equally challenging, given the Obama administration's authorship and feelings of stewardship toward that process. Development specialist Sohn Hyuk-sang assesses South Korea's impact and contributions to the international development agenda as the host of the fourth High Level Forum of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's Development Assistance Committee (Deputy Administrator of USAID Don Steinberg speaks to U.S. challenges in the aftermath of this forum here), finding that the inclusion of emerging new donors, while more representative, imposed costs to the depth of consensus among donors. His clear analysis of a rather murky outcome is a useful contribution to our understanding of what was accomplished in Busan.

We recently received 14.2 update and were prepared to put on our system tomorrow when we had a staff call tech support on an issue in charting. She was told by tech support person to NOT TO PUT ON THE NEW 14.2 UPDATE due to issues in loading the schedule that can take up to 30 minutes...WHAT?. Why isn't this announced to all users to prevent the lost time and IT time we spend on these updates only for more headaches! This same thing happened on 14.1 that we fortunately didn't put on our system. What the heck is going on? We have many issues from the 14 install from the summer and have been promised for months to get fixes and instead we are getting more issues. Frustrating to say the least....
Solved! Go to Solution.
We experienced the same issue. We could not add days to our calendar because it took so long it really seemed like it was not working. Support had to put those days in for us. I feel your frustration. It'd be nice if the updates fixed the glitches from the previous updates rather than presenting new ones.
I called on this issue yesterday and there is not a work around, it takes forever to load the schedules.
Good day Rob ( @fmcrt ),
OrthoTrac version 18.104.22.168 has NOT been pulled from distribution so I am unsure why anyone would tell you not to load it. It does indeed correct many of the defects that were reported in version 14.1 so if you were waiting on those fixes, you may certainly go ahead and load that version.
Attached below are the Support Notes for version 18.104.22.168 (which WAS pulled from distribution after discovery of a game-breaking new DF in Scheduling), as well as version 18.104.22.168, the current version, released not long after 126.96.36.199 to address the major Scheduling issue found in 126.96.36.199.
With that said, as @paularyfa and @jterpstra26 have mentioned below, there *is* a known issue in 126.96.36.199 where there is a long delay when bringing up the Add Days function of Schedule Maintenance. This delay does not make the function unusable, it just makes it very slow to load initially and slow to refresh the calendar display once you select a schedule standard. This item has already been reported to Development and already been corrected in code which is slated to be included in version 14.3, projected for release in late December or early January.
Obviously we cannot tell you how to run your practice. Please look over the lists of fixed defects in version 188.8.131.52 and 18.104.22.168 in the attached files. You can then decide if you would rather have those fixed now by loading 126.96.36.199, or if you would rather wait for version 14.3 to address the Add Days schedule delay.
@paularyfa and @jterpstra26 , I am sorry you are being affected by the Add Days schedule function delay. As I mentioned to Rob, this will be corrected in version 14.3 which is slated for release at the end of December or early January. The version you are now on, however, does fix many of the defects that you reported earlier, so I believe that on balance you are better off with the newest version.
Phil Carter / OrthoTrac Escalations
Thanks for taking time to connect with us on the Exchange. One of the highlights of v14.2 is that we introduced a new functionality to add a new standard over an existing standard for practices that wish to add time to their schedules to eliminate the current manual process that is required in older versions of the software. This feature was highly requested from our voice of customer research as it did not exist in previous versions of the software. This is a major advantage of the former manual process of adding time and/or locations, which was very time consuming to say the least.
And in the process of generating this new workflow, there was an inadvertent tweak in the software that created some delay.
As @prcarter mentioned, the delay does not make the function unusable, but can simply vary from practice to practice depending on how much data is currently loaded in your schedule. Taking up to 30 mins is a bit extreme and rare. It appears that there may have been a miscommunication on our end regarding this time estimate.
We discovered this delay through feedback of an office upon launch and immediately fixed it to be released in v14.3, which is to be completed by the end of December for distribution in January 2019.
Not only is this a quick turn around to address this issue, but we proactively took measures to fix it for the upcoming release.
However, there is tremendous value in 14.2 as we resolved many of the issues communicated to us from users of v14.0. 22.214.171.124 addresses issues that were reported to us and provides tremendous value to those offices who may have experienced a few challenges since updating.
All in all, since launching v14.0 earlier this year, we've taken proactive measures to not only generate additional value and functionality in the software, but also have addressed issues we've found along the way in improving OrthoTrac.
v14.2 provides a new scheduler interface, time-adding functionality, enhancements to search up to 50% more fields in Contact Experts, and provides resolutions to those issues discovered in v14.0, all of which demonstrates our commitment to continue investing in OrthoTrac to improve its capabilities.
Please continue to provide us with your feedback as it is truly valuable to our team.
Uriyah Robinson, Product Line Manager-OrthoTrac
Saw this post and immediately grabbed the copy of 14.1 that I've had sitting on my desk since June because when we got 14.1 I called to see if it was going to fix the major issue we had with the charting module. At that time we were instructed to wait on installing 14.1 until after we got 14.2 because 14.1 did not address the issue.
On 10/10/18 I called OT support to find out when we would be getting 14.2 and actually wrote a note on the front of the envelope that says: Do not install! 14.2 put on hold due to issues with it, OT will send 14.3 when it's available-No ETA @ this time for 14.3.
We do not use the cloud version. We installed 14.0 within a couple weeks of it being released to everyone and ended up reverting back to the old charting view within days of installing because there were so many issues with it. We have now been waiting more than 6 months for "the fix" so we can utilize the "new and improved" charting module that was touted by OrthoTrac for months prior to the release of version 14.
After using OT for going on 12 years now I've decided that OT will tease users with what is going to be released in the next version for 2-3 years, then release it and take another 2 years to work out all the fixes that didn't get found during beta testing. So I figure that by 2020 we might be able to fully use version 14! But then my hardware that we had to buy in order to upgrade to 14.0 will be outdated and not able to handle all the requirements needed for the umpteen updates that will be needed to get 14 to work like it should have when it was initially released this year.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, we discovered an issue in the first roll out of 14.2 DVDs and immediately halted the shipment of additional copies until we resolved the issues. That issue has been fixed. Our support staff can ship you the updated version of the 14.2 DVD. We proactively advised customers who called in to update with a copy of the first copy of 14.2 to not install. However, one of the features that we introduced in 14.2 has a small hiccup, but still works nonetheless. 14.2 also contains a ton of quality improvements that we've tackled since rolling out v14.0 based on customer feedback. We are doing our best to listen better than ever and resolve issues as quickly as possible.
As I indicated in the aforementioned response, we immediately fixed this issue discovered in 14.2 to be released in v14.3.
In order to better improve our process, we are always looking to enroll more beta customers to work hand in hand with us proactively to ensure we deliver an amazing update.
Would you be interested in joining our beta user group? You would be able to work hand in hand with us to resolve any issues that may pop up that we can fix before general release.
I think your practice would be a great office for us to collaborate with for future version of the software.
I'm not sure if the beta test invite was directed at me or not but I've been chomping at the bit to beta test because I think it is a valuable and necessary tool in improving updates. I've got no business complaining about things if I'm not willing to work to help improve it. Thx.
Merry Christmas !

It's been 36 years since we've had a Triple Crown winner and with the Belmont Stakes approaching, here are the 8 real reasons why California Chrome will take it home this Saturday.
1. He was bred and is owned by DAP racing, which stands for "Dumb-Ass Partners" Racing.
2. His loyal followers have major West Coast street cred and are called the "Chromies".

3. He has his own country music song titled "Bring it on Home, Chrome".

4. He just signed a Sketcher shoe deal, Joe Montana better watch his back.
5. His pre-race workout good luck charm is a misspelled saddlecloth that reads "Califorina Chrome".
