Wendy Dio Remembers Ronnie James Dio on Third Anniversary of His Death
The music world is no doubt reflecting today, as May 16, 2013, marks the third anniversary of the death of one of metal's giants, Ronnie James Dio. In late 2009, it was announced that Dio had been diagnosed with stomach cancer, and while the rocker fought the good fight, he eventually succumbed on May 16, 2010. On this third anniversary of his passing, Dio's manager, business partner, wife and love of his life, Wendy Dio, has offered a tribute to the late vocalist.
Dio's life in metal is well chronicled. Though he began playing in the late '50s, his first band of note was the Electric Elves, who eventually shortened their name to Elf. The group lasted from 1967-1975, at which point Dio left to join Ritchie Blackmore in Rainbow. His four-year stint there gained him plenty of attention and eventually he was selected to take over for the departing Ozzy Osbourne in Black Sabbath from 1979-1982. In 1982, Dio finally took the reins on his own self-titled band, which lasted from 1982-2010 with a variety of lineups. In 2006, Dio would reunite with his Black Sabbath cohorts, using the name Heaven & Hell for their newly recorded music.
Wendy Dio posted her message on the Official Ronnie James Dio Fan Page on Facebook, stating:
Today is a difficult day for all of us. It has been three years since Ronnie's passing. Sometimes it feels like only yesterday and sometimes it feels like an eternity ago. Please take a moment of silence sometime in the day to remember him on this Anniversary of his death. I know you all loved him, and I thank you for keeping his music and his memory alive.
I take comfort in this old prayer I would like to share with you.
I cannot speak, but I can listen,
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard,
I am in the song you hear,
I am in the breeze you feel...
I am in the stars you see
I am still with you.
Peace be with all of us.
Loudwire joins with the rest of the music community in taking the time today to reflect on the life and legacy of Ronnie James Dio. \m/

The birth of a child anywhere is usually cause for joyous celebration. But when that child is third in line to the royal throne, well, the word celebration hardly covers it.
That is especially true in the United Kingdom. For all of their supposed reserve, the British seem to really cut loose when there is good news about the royal family.
The latest cause for unbridled joy in Great Britain is that Prince William and Kate, the duke and duchess of Cambridge, have become parents of a bouncing baby boy, an heir to the monarchy. Progeny are always a good thing in their family business.
Engagements, weddings and, of course, additions to the royal bloodline are cause for all manner of jubilation and near hysteria in England and its environs.
Among other things, fireworks, the chiming of church bells and cannonades from the military marked the little fellow's arrival in the country that he may someday lead.
It is difficult for many of us in the United States to comprehend the delirium caused by a royal birth because we simply have nothing comparable. We abandoned that way of operating more than 200 years ago and haven't looked back since. We have no modern tradition in royalty.
Still, many in this country pay mighty close attention to the actions and events involving the royal family, even the ones that are not nearly so positive.
Newspaper front pages, news websites and television news broadcasts in this country are replete with coverage of the royal birth. But in Great Britain the game is elevated exponentially as each media outlet seemingly tries to outdo all the others in a bid to provide the most elaborate coverage. From this distance, it looks as if everyone is tied for first place.
But the British are not alone.
Clearly, this is a story of interest far beyond the British Isles and, judging from the number of reporters from all over the globe camped out at the hospital, the world has been watching and fawning over the latest potential king-to-be as well.
To fully grasp the level of frenzy, one need only witness the crush of photographers and videocamera operators when the baby, George Alexander Louis, left St. Mary's Hospital in London on Tuesday.
Then, of course, there was Queen Elizabeth's visit to her great-grandson, not to mention William and Kate's trek to see her parents to show them their new grandchild.
We were even breathlessly told that Prince William had changed his first diaper.
Yes, it is a happy day for our good friends in Great Britain. We congratulate them and salute their good fortune. Hail Britannia.

So, we all know that a photo is worth a thousand words, but what about those photos that mark a pivotal point in our lives?
This is that photo for me:
Since CML is a rare form of leukemia, we know there's a need for many types of expert information. That's why we've developed the Ask the CML Experts™ portal. Interacting with medical professionals who specialize in CML treatment is just a click away!
CML Connection™ lets you find and build support at the local level. The Society provides information on medical providers and is building support groups across the country. These groups provide a way to connect with others, discuss local CML news, gain a perspective of the CML community at the national level and provide feedback on how the NCMLS can best meet your unique needs.
So, we all know that a photo is worth a thousand words, but what about those photos that mark a pivotal point in our lives?

That Windows 8 has met with resistance from a lot of longtime users of Microsoft's operating system would be an understatement. If you ever needed a case study for the old adage that "most people don't like change," Windows 8 will do nicely.
Indeed, at least one major market research firm has laid the blame for slumping PC sales at Win8's feet. IDC says fear of Win8's changed interface is keeping people from buying new systems. Normally, you'd expect a boost in sales from a new version of Windows, but not in this instance.
That said, I'm increasingly of the opinion that the real issue with Windows 8 is often the hardware it's running on. Many of those who are unhappy likely are using non-touchscreen PCs. They're less expensive than systems with touchscreens, so they're more alluring, particularly to budget-conscious shoppers. I think if you use Win8 on a system tuned for touch, the experience is much better.
I have been testing an HP Envy 23 TouchSmart All-in-One PC. It's the direct descendant of HP's Omni line of touchscreen all-in-ones, which I reviewed in early 2012. It's the same basic design, but with improved components, a much better display and, of course, Window 8 instead of Windows 7.
Here are the specs of the model I've been using:
- A quad-core, Intel Core i7 processor running at a frisky 3.10 Ghz.
- 12 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM
- A 23-inch, 1,920-by-1080 touchscreen display
- A 3-terabyte hard drive
- An nVidia GeForce GT 630M graphics card with 2 gigabytes of video memory
- A Blu-ray drive
- USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections
- Beats Audio, built-in stereo speakers.
- 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet
- Memory card slot and HDMI-in
- Wireless keyboard and mouse
The list price is $1,720, but can be found with rebates and discounts that take it to $1,400.
The display sits on a U-shaped assembly anchored by a large, gun-metal-gray foot. You can lean the display back, but not into a full horizontal position, which helps if you want to use it while standing up. The system has a solid feel, and build quality is excellent.
My biggest complaint about the Omni all-in-one was the darkness of its screen, which was common for touchscreen displays of that era. But this model's display is brighter, making it more suitable for bright rooms. The touchscreen is also more responsive – there's no lag between the time you touch or swipe the screen and when resulting actions occur.
The Envy 23 is a very fast computer. That high-end processor, combined with the discrete nVidia graphics card boasting 2 GB of its own memory means the machine can handle almost any game you want to throw at it – something you can't always say about an all-in-one system.
As you'd expect on an HP consumer PC, there's plenty of crapware. Unfortunately, big-name PC makers have not taken Windows 8 as an opportunity to change their evil ways. However, there is one saving grace – less of it pops up to nag you.
This is the first touchscreen desktop I've used with Windows 8. Previously, I've worked with Microsoft's own Surface tablets and my own, home-built Windows box. The latter has been helped immensely by a Logitech Wireless Touchpad T650, which lets you use Windows 8′s swiping gestures on systems that don't have touchscreens. It's made a world of difference on that older PC.
For me, Windows 8 makes even more sense on a large display like the Envy 23′s than on a smaller tablet. Swiping from the left edge to cycle through running applications feels completely natural, for example, as does swiping down from the top to bring up menus and icon bars.
The tile-based Metro interface also makes more sense. Tapping tiles to launch programs, or scrolling horizontally to find them, works much better on a wide desktop display than on a touchscreen notebook. And since these actions don't keep your hands on the screen for very long, the "gorilla arms" problem isn't really a factor.
And a word about this horizontal Start Screen, which seems to confound or frustrate many longtime Windows users: The best way to make peace with it is to think of it as an elongated Start Menu, with programs unbound from their folders. Take the time to pin your most-used programs to the Start Screen, and arrange them so the most-used are on the left side of the screen. You'll be a lot happier, whether you use touch or a mouse to access them.
And if you simply can't live with it, HP has a program called Quick Start that approximates the old Start Menu.
Using touch with the traditional Windows desktop remains the somewhat clunky experience it always was, though for that you've got the mouse and keyboard that come with the PC.
So far, the Envy 23 is the best Windows 8 experience I've found, and if you're looking for a new desktop, this is one to consider. If I was to buy a new, brand-name Windows 8 system today, it would be my choice.

Houston — The YMCA of Greater Houston recently signed a six-year agreement making Precor the exclusive supplier for its strength, cardio and entertainment equipment.
With 38 locations in the Greater Houston area, the Houston YMCA is the third largest association in the United States. Last year, nearly 900,000 people were served through Y programs, such as child development and education, health enhancement, wellness, camping, sports and recreation, and community development. One-third of all Houston Y members receive financial assistance.
"We've had the good fortune to work with Precor for several years, and over time, they've come to understand and truly embrace our mission of serving the community," says Clark Baker, Greater Houston Y president and CEO. "Certainly, the Precor equipment helps us deliver a fitness experience that delights our members, but beyond that, they've added real support to key initiatives that resonate with our mission to build healthy spirit, mind and body for all."
Precor has signed similar arrangements with Y associations in Kansas City, MO, and Pittsburgh.

Here is a recent podcast interview I did in anticipation of the screening of "Astronaut Goes From Migrant Fields To Outer Space" at the WILDsound TORONTO Film Festival this Saturday, May 1st.
I'm happy for the publicity, both for the film and hopefully the compassionate, coherent side of the immigration issue, given the current experiment with codified racism and a Geheime Staatspolize version of the American Dream in Arizona.
Sadly, hatred and ignorance remain omnipresent and galvanizing forces despite the sublime milestone of a black president and our unique history as a nation of immigrants.
From the Associated Press: "Key provisions of Arizona's immigration legislation, signed into law by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday:
Makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally by specifically requiring immigrants to have proof of their immigration status. Violations are a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. Repeat offenses would be a felony.
Requires police officers to "make a reasonable attempt" to determine the immigration status of a person if there is a "reasonable suspicion" that he or she is an illegal immigrant. Race, color or national origin may not be the only things considered in implementation. Exceptions can be made if the attempt would hinder an investigation.
Allow lawsuits against local or state government agencies that have policies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws. Would impose daily civil fines of $1,000-$5,000. There is pending follow-up legislation to halve the minimum to $500.
Targets hiring of illegal immigrants as day laborers by prohibiting people from stopping a vehicle on a road to offer employment and by prohibiting a person from getting into a stopped vehicle on a street to be hired for work if it impedes traffic.
The law will take effect by late July or early August."
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
–Emma Lazarus, 1883 (Inscribed on a plaque inside the Statue of Liberty)

MMC Appointment Guidelines
When the operator answers tell them you want an appointment and state which provider you wish to see. It is necessary to have an operator answer the calls due to the volume of calls coming into the clinic at any given moment. This is why you have to be answered by one person and then transferred to another person to make an appointment.
The operator will connect you with someone to make your appointment. It is necessary for this person to ask what the appointment is for to determine the best time or possibly the provider that you will need to see. If you prefer not to give this information please feel free to say so or just say 'for personal reasons.'
All providers desire to accommodate your need for appointments; however there are times that this is not possible. You will be offered to see a provider even if we do not have a scheduled appointment time available. Effort will be made to get you in with the provider of your choice and you will not be scheduled with a provider you prefer not to see if you let us know this information. We respect your time and apologize for wait times.
After your appointment it is advisable to make a follow up appointment at that time, if needed. It is very important that you notify the clinic if you are unable to keep this appointment time as soon as possible or at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment.
Please bring your medications with you or a list with the name, dosage and how often taken.
Thank You.
McKenzie Medical Center has established a new "Call First Program," allowing you to call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and speak to a licensed MMC nurse and/or MMC provider who can help you decide whether you should go to the Emergency Room, an Urgent Care Ceneter, or make an appointment for you to be seen during clinic hours.

Armory Show—1913
While the history of the Cos Cob art colony has become well known to scholars of American Impressionism, its role in the development of American Modernism is less familiar. In December 1911 Elmer MacRae was among the group who founded the Association of American Painters and Sculptors in New York. Originally established with the goal of finding suitable exhibition space for young American artists, the Association's major accomplishment was planning the International Exhibition of Modern Art, also known as the Armory Show. Held in New York during the winter of 1913, the exhibition introduced modern European artist such as Paul Cezanne, Wassily Kandinsky, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso to the art-viewing public.
Although not listed in the catalogue for the exhibition, this painting of Constant, one of the MacRae twins, feeding the ducks was added in both MacRae's and Kuhn's catalogues. On the back of the painting is a label for the International Exhibition of Modern Art.

HOW TO: Remove Iron Marks From The Hair
Things that seem obvious to us aren't always obvious to "laymen". At a recent photoshoot, our model was fascinated by how Moroccanoil Artistic Director Antonio Corral Calero was manipulating his curling iron to remove the gentle dent left at the base after he curled a section. Professional stylists must remember that most clients did not attend beauty school and can benefit from those little tips and tricks that can help her looking fabulous between visits.
Calero gives a little demo in this 30 second video.


text: Outlook: Be Aggressive September 30, 2011 01:01 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bob Utterback Farm Journal Columnist Email For most of the Midwest, the dry months of July and August are allowing combines to get into the field much earlier than usual. Corn yields, as represented by the September USDA report, are now below last year and more than likely heading lower. While USDA suggests soybean yields might improve, I would not be surprised to see them retreat a little more before the final numbers are in. In addition, we are finding more wheat in the bins and global production is on the rise, making it harder for wheat prices to rally. Essentially, 2011 will go down in the books as one of those significantly reduced yield event years. When combined with 2010, corn carryover has now moved close to below pipeline stocks. The corn bulls want to stampede, but they are finding it more difficult to push up prices. Price and usage relationship. In the coming months, there will be a lot of debate in regard to what price is necessary to ration usage. If corn prices get too high, will it attract more corn acres or will producers continue to fight to maintain their corn/soybean acreage mix due to agronomic and operational restrictions? How will strong grain prices impact the 2012 farm bill, which is now being created? Finally, with extreme pressure being put on Washington to cut costs, how will agriculture budgets be impacted? Keep in mind that a well-fed population is a tranquil population. Politicians want to stay in power, and they know that in the long run we need cheap food, cheap energy and jobs. Don't be surprised by anything as the 2012 election nears. The fundamental factors at play today are as potentially violent as I have ever seen. Market volatility will be quite high for most of 2012. As outside money moves in and out of commodities, daily price moves could be very disruptive to many producers who are trying to maintain and build a long-term marketing plan. To give you confidence to act, let me remind you of some basic elements about agriculture marketing that I've come to believe are bedrock assumptions when it comes to understanding long-term price patterns: 1. The best cure for high prices is high prices. When prices get too high, they destroy demand and stimulate production both domestically and internationally. 2. Short crops have long tails. This means we normally see a high price early on confirmation of a supply reduction, which leads to demand rationing and a subsequent increase in production during the next production year. 3. Bulls and bears always get fed, but hogs get slaughtered. If you don't understand this, you might as well get out of the market. 4. The rule of unintended consequences. The market often reacts in an unexpected way that surprises us. Many times, it acts in a way that disappoints the maximum number of people. In this case, producers will be putting cash corn and soybeans in the bin with no carry in the hope of seeing sharply higher prices the following summer. While these principles are well known, we seem to want more complex answers to the basic supply-and-demand equation. I believe commodities are produced in an economic structure that will not allow excessive profits to be realized for more than two marketing seasons. While this has been proven to be a little incorrect because of ethanol and the China growth function in the corn market, I believe it will eventually be vindicated. We are about to see a sharp reduction in ethanol production due to the expiration of the 41¢ refinery credit at the end of the year. While not a factor for 2012, China is making every effort to increase wheat production in Russia and the Black Sea region to gain another supplier of feed. The risk is that when a big wheat crop comes out of these regions, along with a big corn crop, the Chinese will simply buy hand-to-mouth and allow producers to foot the bill for storage and price risk. Corn sellout. Between now and the first part of 2012, a supply reduction in corn will be the biggest bullish factor, while soybeans and wheat will be pulled up. Long-term, producers need to become very aggressive at selling expected 2012 and 2013 corn production as the market moves into $350 to $400 returns on investment above all direct and fixed costs. By the fall of 2013, cash values at harvest will be very close to the cost of production. Cattle and hog producers will be forced to make some hard decisions. With cash corn above $8 and uncertain domestic and global economies, will cattle, hog and poultry producers be able to compete? This brings us back to "the best cure for high prices is high prices." I sense that inventory numbers will be moderately high for the next three to four months, keeping prices on the defensive as herd sizes adjust. This is good news for the survivors but bad news for consumers; as 2012 nears, we could see sharply higher prices at the grocery store if any stability occurs in domestic consumer demand. Focus on controlling input costs. Limit downside price protection—say, three to four months at best in a vertical put spread rather than short futures. Protect fall and winter downside risk now in case things get nasty, and be ready for a spring and summer price bounce. Back to news

Why I Still Use Windows
The Anti-Reason - Microsoft Might Push Us to It Anyway
Developers and publishers have been complaining about Windows 8 for quite some time now. The PC has always managed to be the platform people look to for long-term support. It looks like Microsoft has changed their minds.
Windows 8 appears to be a transition platform from the classical Windows architecture to the heavily managed Windows 8 architecture formerly named "Metro". The latest version of Visual Studio Express even disallowed producing applications which were not in the Windows 8 architecture. Public outcry made them, at least temporarily, reverse their decision. Still, Microsoft has been pretty clear in their desire to cut support for everything besides Metro.
And I can see why Microsoft would desire to finally cut backwards compatibility. A transition to Metro would bring compatibility-parity between x86 and ARM applications. Denying software installations outside of Windows Update and Windows Store also helps – but not solves – the problem of users being tricked into infecting their own machine. Truthfully there will be thousands and thousands of security holes which will be uncovered that escalate permissions but limiting the harm caused by the security vulnerability more commonly known as "your customer" does limit your attack surface substantially.
But it also sucks for that customer too!
What they can lose: us.
Microsoft needs to stand down and allow PC users to be PC users. Exemptions such as for open source software in your store does not make up for the potential loss of backwards compatibility and freedom.
Gamers will want to install whatever game and gaming service they desire. They will also want to consume whatever game they desire and not just what is still available in your one inlet which software is allowed to go through to get to my device.
Professional users want to use their applications and not be at your mercy for support and updates. They may want to use their own interface and not just the one you force under the name of security and cross-platform support. Oh – and giving you a 30% share after paying for their license of your operating system is a bit annoying too.
Also if I were to purchase some special hardware I would like to be assured that it will survive into your future. I would seriously desire to install community drivers for the device instead of maybe purchasing some potential equivalent if one is allowed.
See the problem? If I need to overcome the reasons to not use Linux in order to continue to use Windows then what reason remains to not use Linux?
It is up to Microsoft to make their move. I suggest preparing to capitalize in the event that Microsoft does.
Video News
Nah, Microsoft will reverse direction when the failure becomes obvious. Right now Ballmer and his yesmen are projecting their own reality distortion field inside Microsoft. Microsoft has always been wealthy enough because of Windows and Office to be able to gloss over a lot of bad mistakes and horrible purchases. The Xbox division has been losing money every day since it started, and it only appears to be profitable because of accounting trickery. They've been able to continue messing up with Xbox because their 2 cash cows have kept chugging along. But if they seriously harm the Windows cash cow no amount of accounting wizardry can hide the losses. Ballmer will lose his job and thing will get back to being sane. Not that he cares, his severance package will be the size o a medium city's budget for a year.
I guess that is really the point of my article. I value things that are intrinsically valuable.
I really could not care who provides the platform to make it happen. Windows, BSD, or Linux (I'd even support Apple except that they are a company who is fundamentally formed to provide the exact opposite of what I want -- a highly managed and quickly deprecated to make future decisions easier) -- whichever serves the needs best gets my support.
Microsoft found a way to make a proprietary platform have -- a decent enough amount of the benefits to be acceptable to me.
Unfortunately now even if they turn around they have proven themselves unreliable -- and Linux has a ridiculous amount of benefits. It might already be too late for me if the other players line up.
How long do you think this will take? Will there ever be a time when people will wise up as to what is going on?
So I am not a huge fan of the "split" experience of Windows 8 but what exactly are we losing? You don't have to use the windows store. You can install Steam all you want. You can install Photoshop too. What are we giving up? I am not sure why Notch and Gabe are decrying this concept of store. They don't need to be a part of it.
Microsoft is trying to push the full screen apps. I am not really sure why they think PC people want them, I certainly do not. I have hope that I will get used to it though and somehow, some way I can still be just as productive. Ultimately though, Windows is no more closed, there are just new options for people and over time the ones people want will stick around and the others will fade away.
Correct, Windows 8 is not a bad operating system.
However several design, architectural, and corporate structure choices suggest that Microsoft does NOT want a split Windows design. Everything Windows 7-like about Windows 8 goes through the desktop "App". Cut that out in Windows 9 -- or maybe even a Windows 8 service pack -- and it's only Metro left.
THEN you cannot install Steam. THEN you cannot install Photoshop. THEN you cannot get anything outside of Windows Store and Windows Update -- like Windows RT.
It is looking pretty clear that Microsoft's vision for the future of Windows -- is Windows RT.
If that is their vision -- we either need to snap them out of their daydream or finally give Linux, BSD, or some other open system the chance it deserves. Hell -- the computer revolution should have been based on community-supported platforms from the get-go... it is overdue.
Thanks so much for saying that! Other operating systems should get the recognition that they deserve. That's why I talked so much about it when I was in school. The concept of " you do what you want to do" is very important to me especially when it pertains to compiuters.
Good read !
Its not that win8 is particularly broken or unusable .
But they are headed toward a walled garden and trying to pull an Apple .
They want you to adopt metro apps . Later they slowly cripple non-metro app execution. (like preventing non-metro apps from accessing certain core OS features - already done)
Then , one day BAM! In the best interest of users , they remove legacy app support and disallow side loading !
Give me games and drivers on Linux . I'll be gone in a heartbeat :)
Agree - games on linux would be amazing if it was just easy like windows. Double click and play.
Exactly my thoughts. Hopefully we can either get a soft transition to Linux -- or wake up Microsoft from their dream.
I used win8 Beta early on and it was an absolute DISASTER. I'm on a damn desktop for god's sake, not a tablet. Seriously, it was one of the worst computer experiences, everything takes 10 clicks. I gave up on it and assumed that i must have only used the tablet version - did that get updated?
The early developer Beta was pretty terrible. Release preview and RTM were actually pretty nice -- RTM slightly moreso. RTM has some glitches with desktop icons at least on multiple monitors where the icon just falls off the edge of any monitor but I assume that will be patched. Otherwise -- it's a great OS.
It's the design that scares me.
Wine Is Not an Emulator. It is a compatability platform. Tons of games work great in Wine, because they're being run on native hardware. I get a better framerate for Guild Wars on Arch Linux than I do in any version of Windows that can handle it, because I actually need LESS software to run it in Arch.
Yeah that is what I explained.
(or not-emulation, as in the case of WINE)
I lumped WINE in with the emulators in terms of bringing Windows compatibility to Linux as both WINE as well as emulators will get better in the future. I tried to clearly explain that it was not an emulator per se -- actually by calling it "not-emulation".
Its easier to lump WINE into the same category as Direct-X is for Windows. Both are translation layers. Wine is simpler, but less polished... Direct X is too polished, and has now gotten bloated (and fragmented in some cases) where years ago, it used to be how wine is now, but now is just another software layer slowing command translation
Maybe I'm just a glass half full kind of guy but I think that win8 is not that bad. It boots faster, runs well even on crappy hardware (my old netbook). And it took me less than 10 min to get a working start button and booting directly to desktop. I have tried some metro apps and they are OK, I don't think MS will commit suicide by transitioning everything to metro. I hope that it's only a gimmick to make people buy their tablets and phones.
I would hope so too -- but it looks more plausible than I am comfortable with.
It could be just a gimmick -- but Microsoft usually talks up their gimmicks (there was a quote "we bet the company on Zune!") except this time where they have been ridiculously quiet.
Linux only really needs a slight amount of support to be ready for primetime -- and most of that support can be provided by companies with a financial incentive to support it. Some are actively moving in that direction. Some are still standing still. Hopefully they will help build the best damn lifeboat if Windows as we know it sinks past the point of bailing.
Well if that happens I think we would all embrace Linux, as long as gaming is well supported. We don't need more Apples in tech.
Still, let us make sure as much of what we love as possible is waiting on the other side with open arms.
The problem with Windows 8 is that Windows 7 is perfect, at least to me anyway. Honestly, out of all the things I want to buy or upgrade, Windows 7 is not even on the list. It does everything I need it to do and Win 8, which is nothing more than a touchscreen OS, doesn't tempt me at all. Thanks for making an awesome product (Win 7) and saving me money MS!
I agree, as much as I use Ubuntu I have used Windows 7 quite a bit as well and it has been a pleasant experience. As a result, I am hoping that it ends up being like XP was and is used for many years to come.
My big complaint with Win 7 and Vista was the number of processes that would start with default installation of Windows. I hope Microsoft has fixed it as stopping these processes was a head-ache.
I believe my "I hate Windows 7" thread on PC perspective's forums speaks for Windows 8 doubly, so I have no comment here.
Windows 8 will be the next Vista, everyone is calling it the next Vista 2.0 and I believe them so with that said good luck I just wish I could read one article about windows 8 and not read a dozen negative comments.
P.S You need a new mic man it don't sound all the best but hay just glad to see someone new on the podcast keep up the good work :)
Heh thanks.
When I get some expenses out of the way I intend on getting set up with a Heil mic.Unfortunately what I also need is better internet. I also need a better voice -- but I cannot exactly buy that.
As for the frequency of negative comments surrounding Windows 8 -- I actually like the OS itself even including the lack of start menu and such.
It is just pretty clear that Microsoft sees the future of Windows to be Windows RT. That is unacceptable.
I just paid $1500+ to upgrade to an Intel hex-core, running Win7 Pro.
My last system was a Q9550 with XP64. It got hammered by a virus last summer. I muddled through with an Athlon 630 that I bought back in 2009, running XP32.
I expected to be able to migrate my apps (3D Max, Maya, ZBrush, Solidworks, & supporting Adobe aps).
NO GO. Maya 64 bit migrated, the 3D Max licensing was somehow incompatible with 'XP compatibility mode'.
AND - Max 2013, should I upgrade from 9 ... Max 2013 has abandoned Reactor, a simulation game engine that made Max 9, my previous rev., a lot of FUN to use.
AND - I am using Agent Ransack as a file manager, because the Win7 file manager is, shall we say, sub-optimal. Just do a search for "Win7 file Manager" to see what I'm talking about.
Long story short - I am re-installing XP64 on the Q9550 and using that.
And I installed a dual-boot on the 3930K system, with Ubuntu, and am working overtime to learn Blender & supporting aps. for mixing rendered images with audio, video editing, etc.
Between Microsoft & Autodesk, I have been given a huge incentive to abandon the Windows world for Linux, and to maintain legacy machines running XP64 and XP32 to take advantage of one of the best revisions of 3D Max, 3D Max 9.
I am %100 ready to move to Linux. Win8 signals a controlled environment I believe no self respecting PC user would describe as beneficial in the long (and short) term. Msft wants to take control of the platform and lock it up. Every time you install an app on the desktop, (never mind the disaster that is Metro) it phones home. It's borderline spyware. How is that okay? If I wanted such a thing I would be a mac user. NO THANKS!
The second Steam is on Linux, I am done. Origin (and thus BF3) won't likely be far behind. And where I go, so goes my entire family, as I support them. Microsoft is inherently a monopolistic company which we've all swallowed because it had our games and was good enough. That argument is basically dead now. I am ready for Ubuntu.
Really Fantastic article Scott.
That's my 2 cents.
Thanks for the compliment!
The nice thing about linux is that -- pretty much -- anything compatible for one is compatible with the lot of them. And if it isn't it is so close that the community would have *no* problem working around.
Nice article Scott. I love linux - for my servers. Running Arch on my main server, and CENT on another. As for desktop OS use, it blows. There is so much work that has gone into making the user experience of Windows (and Mac) something an average person can use, we just forget about it. I'm reminded of that every time a family member calls about something not working on their Windows machine. Another option would be great but honestly I'm happy with running Windows and Mac on the machines I have. The last thing I need is another OS to buy all my apps on. I'd need to win the lotto...
Since I first tried using Windows 8 I asked myself why they forced the metro ui for desktop users. Would it be really wrong to just allow users to switch back to the "classic" Win7 style UI? And maybe 1-2 years later just look at the figures which UI style is preferred by desktop users.
The Win8 core seems to be really nice so far but like Scott I fear that this is just the first step to control the user and software. And if they really go the RT route for future Windows versions I'll just stick with Windows 7 for legacy applications and focus more on my linux machines.
As for compatibility on linux systems:
The more people adapt to linux the more companies and developers will try to support it which in return will make linux more and more attractive for users.
Thanks for the nice article Scott. Hopefully we'll see some of the "big players" in the software industry supporting linux in the future as I, too, would really like to see adobe to offer linux versions.

In this anonymous 1788 letter to the Hampshire Gazette, the writer questions whether the new federal constitution should be adopted because he believes that the institution of slavery is supported, according to Article 1, Section 9:
"The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person."

Jay Reso got away from WWE to regenerate himself mentally and physically.
Eight years on the road had worn on him.
A reduced schedule with TNA, which operates out of Orlando, near his Tampa home, gave him what he needed.
But it also drove the star we know as Christian back to WWE, where he has already won a spot in Wrestlemania's Money in the Bank match.
"I'd been away for three-plus years," says Christian. "(Returning) was nothing personal (against TNA). I had a chance to re-evaluate the things I wanted in life. I didn't think my job was done in WWE. I felt if I wanted to be on top, WWE's where I had to be. I had some unfinished business here."
He was excited to re-debut on ECW, working his way into a program with Jack Swagger.
"Standing behind the curtain before I stepped out, I was feeling nervous, yet comfortable at the same time. There had been speculation about certain things, but I don't think anybody expected me to show up on ECW. It's a good place to get my feet wet.
"I knew I would have to prove myself again. Nothing in life is guaranteed. I don't want to be handed anything. I want to earn everything. It's a blank canvas for me now.
"One hundred percent, I'm better now than when I left. I'm three years older and three years wiser."
A win in the Money in the Bank match would provide opportunities -- every winner to date has gone on to capture a championship -- and it'd be wonderful if Christian gets a chance to work a program with his childhood buddy, Adam Copeland (Edge).
"(Edge) has really upped his game. He's at the top for a reason," says Christian. "And he deserves everything he gets. He's worked so hard for it. Right now, I'm just plying my trade."
So, how does he feel with Wrestlemania a week away?
"There's a feeling about the whole week of Wrestlemania. When you get closer to the event, you get butterflies in your stomach. It's very exciting."

Manufactured in nickel plated wire, the Panic Attack won't give your heart a rest. The object is to simply free the string from the heart-shaped frame, but that's only half of the challenge.

The design is highly original and was actually entered at the 26th IPP by the name of Love Secret. Its designer, the Russian Kirill Grebnev, has a number of other interesting puzzles, among them the beautiful Cast Harmony, winner of two awards at the 30th IPP. From our series of metal wire puzzles.

I saw this puzzle reviewed on a puzzle blog and decided to give it a go. I'm really glad I did. While Panic Attack looks impossible, it is indeed solvable. I must admit it took me quite a bit longer to solve than I expected it to take. I even passed it around to the other members of my family and they couldn't solve it.

Q: My wife insists on bringing our two children to church, but I'm not sure I agree. They don't get anything out of it, and sometimes they're just a distraction to the people around us. Why bother? — R.C.J.
A: You don't say how old your children are; many churches, of course, provide nursery facilities for very young children. Some pastors, I've noticed, include a brief children's sermon in the service, after which the younger children are dismissed to a special class. In other words, you and your wife may want to see what alternatives are available for your children.
If your children are somewhat older but are still too young to understand everything that's going on, I encourage you to keep them with you if possible. Take books or others materials to keep them occupied, and help them participate in the service whenever they can (such as during the singing). Remember Jesus' words: "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them" (Mark 10:14).
No, they may not understand everything, but they'll understand some things — and most of all, they'll begin to understand that God is important to you and your friends. In time, they'll understand something even more important: God loves them, and He wants them to love Him in return. Can you think of anything that's more important for them to learn?
Pray for your children — not just for their health and safety, but that some day they will give their lives to Jesus. Pray too for yourselves, that you will be good examples to them, and that they'll realize that Jesus is important to you. God gave your children to you; ask Him to help you to be faithful in fulfilling the responsibilities He's given you as parents.

This sketch was drawn by Margaret Whiting (1860-1946), co-founder of the Deerfield Society of Blue and White Needlework. Society members both created original designs and adapted 18th and 19th century patterns. In this sketch, they adapted a new design from a wool embroidered linen head cloth completed in 1765 by Rebekah Dickinson (1738-1815), a Hatfield, Massachusetts, gown maker. More than a century after Dickinson created the bed hangings from which this sketch is based, Deerfield Society founders Ellen Miller and Margaret Whiting (1854-1929) revived and reinterpreted her designs in ways that they thought would most appeal to turn of the 20th century customers interested in the products of a thriving arts and crafts movement. The "D" in a flax wheel at the lower right corner and at the center of the design was the Society's trademark.

Photo gallery linked on the left.
It all started on Saturday the 20th of October. The Provo brothers (Ian and Neil) and myself were lounging around all day at Mr. T. Halls new crib watching the Absinthe movie while mother nature was doing what we love to see it do best—dump snow! Being the ultimate mountain men that the Provo's are, they had already been up to Guardsman's pass a few days earlier when we got some of our first snowfall. They were explaining to me how epic it was and it got us thinking about how we should all venture back up, to go mess around in the white stuff, and it just so happened that the Provo brothers were going to pick up their sleds from the shop the next morning.
I got a call that next morning from Ian saying that they couldn't pick up their sleds because the shop was closed on Sundays. Of course it was, what were we thinking? Everything is closed in Utah on Sundays—even the snowmobile shops. That didn't stop us from loading up my sled and heading on up. When we got the bottom gates, where you start heading up the pass, the roads weren't really all that bad, so the Ian and Neil drove their vehicle and I ruped up my sled. When we got to the top of the saddle, where the road meets from the Brighton side and the Park City side, there were already quite a few shredders in the mix. When I parked my sled, the Provo bros. were getting geared up. I grabbed a snowskate that I borrowed from my little brother Griffin and started walking over. When I got to the car Ian pulled out his pack, full of his camera gear and his snowskate and Neil pulled out a custom swallowtail that he'd cut himself out of an old Sims board. I couldn't believe it, it was a fully custom snurf board, with a rope and car mats glued to the top sheet with adhesive for grip. Wolfgang Nyvelt's part in the Absinthe movie the night before must have really sparked a light in young Neil's head, because that night it inspired him to create his very own binding-less snow-surf board. Onward we trekked up the ridge to go find some fresh tracks.
Not too far up we stopped and immediately found a nice open run to shred. Right away when Neil dropped in for his first run I knew that it was on! He was shredding the pow like he was on his snowboard, slashing turns and flying down the mountain with more control than I had imagined! Ian and I were having fun as well on the snowskates, getting some blower turns and face shots, but not near as much fun as Neil on the custom snurfer. You just can't charge as hard in the deep stuff with the small little snow skates. Being the multi-talented photographer that Ian is, he busted out his camera equipment and started snapping off some photos of Neil slashing about on his custom no-board. All in all it was a super rad day and we were blessed with some bright sunshine with some breaks in the clouds. We pretty much ripped up an entire little zone and left the scene as soon and the dark clouds rolled in again, along with about twenty barney's hiking up the ridge looking to build a booter right into where we were just shredding. It really made us all think of how sweet it was to bring back the true roots of snowboarding and intertwine it with a little innovation and customization. Thanks for reading, peace and love to all! Here's to a deep winter of all sorts of shredding!

Happy Repeal Day! On this day in 1933, Utah ratified the 21st amendment, fulfilling the three-quarters majority needed to repeal Prohibition, so hoist a glass of your favorite beverage today to celebrate. As for me, I'll be in New York, preparing for a day of Willy Wonka cocktailing tomorrow, at Junior Merino's Liquid Lab.
I'm excited about this. A couple of times a month, Junior and his wife, Heidi, open the doors to his Bronx office to a small group of bartenders and spirits writers, allowing them to mix and discuss cocktails, talk about techniques and ideas, and sample unique and unusual ingredients, some of them otherwise unavailable in the United States. This is followed up with dinner and cocktails, and the whole day is paid for by liquor-company sponsors that Junior and Heidi line up.
I hope to have photos and a follow-up post in a few days.
