Windows only: Free media file converter FormatFactory is a handy all-in-one utility for taking one kind of audio, video, or picture file and converting it to another. The interface is a dead-simple drag-and-drop affair, and it’s meant for running batches of files through converters—FLVs to Windows Media, MPEGs to iPod-friendly video, DVDs to DivX files, [...]
I finally got around to watching Fringe, JJ Abram’s new series. The new must see, must watch can’t miss series on TV. Problem is I’ve seen it all before. It was the ultimate pastiche of clichés and blatant rip-offs I had seen in years and is completely dispatched from reality.

How most internet marketing gurus are ripping off writers By Tamara Wilhite “If you just get it on the internet, it’ll get it sold!” That’s the promise of many internet marketing gurus, but it is rarely the result.

Tutti ricordiamo i problemi che avevamo un po’ di anni fa con le VHS o più comunemente chiamate videocassette. Il VHS dopo un po’ di tempo perde qualità, il nastro si rovina o semplicemente si sporca. Questi problemi non pensate che con i DVD siano spariti. Sono ancora presenti, in alcuni casi molto attuali.

ION VCR 2 PC - USB VHS-Ripping DeviceION Audio has made a name for itself with vinyl and cassette owners alike as it is behind the USB turntable and USB cassette archiver. So, it doesn't take long for anyone to figure out that the company has also set its eyes on the VHS digitalization market. ION Audio VCR 2 PC may look like an ordinary VCR at first sight, but soon you will notice a USB 2.0 interface that allows you to hook it up to a PC. In essence, it's pretty much a VHS equipped with a USB video capture. A composite connection is adjacent to the USB for camcorders, and RCA output is on the back to playback previews on a TV. SCART output is available in the PAL version. The included Muvee AutoProducer 6.0 does all hard work of converting your VHS stacks into digital format whethe

Get your tomatoes and warm up your pitching arms, girls!
Heavy and depressing and uninteresting bordering on ugly. It completely obliterates whatever figure that model has. Another point - and for us, this is the biggest complaint we have about Chris' collection - it just doesn't look modern at all.
Similar to the first silk screened dress in that it's a very simple design where the print is
It's SissyBear's turn and oh, kittens. Are we ever in TROUBLE.
But first, a refresher:
Now, why are we in trouble? Well, we fear you're going to come after us with torches and pitchforks. See, a great many of you swooned over this collection and some of you even went so far as to opine that his could have won the whole ballgame, but we...didn't like it at all.
He says his was a Sweeney
And the clunks just keep on coming.
Ignoring the ugly plaid (which is nigh-impossible for us), that top doesn't seem to go with it at all, and the silhouette just ain't all that. The pants are weirdly balloony. Had they been a full straight-leg trouser or a skinny pant, we could have gotten behind this look more, but as it is...nope.
And the gloves just don't work with this look.

Poodles, now comes the time when we give the decoys the RunGay treatment. Stepping up to the plate, that inked little darling from L.A., Miss Sweet P.
But first, let's see the whole thing in movement:
Sweet P's kind of hard to pin down. Her work during the competition was (at best) erratic and when she walked out on that runway to tearfully introduce her collection, we didn't know what to
This was another look that drew gasps from the crowd - and rightfully so. No, of course it's not "wearable" in the sense that the average woman would ever attempt this look, but it's a stunningly dramatic statement. She cut quite a figure walking down that runway. Love the side zippers on the pants and of course we love the gigantic neck ruffle. We love the idea of the hat, but strangely, this
Princess, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right!
As always, a refresher:
Kittens, this is going to be tough. We laughed when we uploaded all the pictures for this post and realized we'd essentially be discussing the same outfit over and over again. Which isn't to say that we don't love the collection or that we don't think he deserved the win. We do on both accounts.
This is the third time we've seen this look from Jillian, but we can't blame her. It's a great look and it's quickly becoming her signature. On the other hand, we think she overworked it this time. There's a lot of great detailing here, but too much for one look. Although we love the splash of red and the dovetail seam in the bodice.
Love this look. That sweater is both gorgeous and different.
This interesting device manufactured by RipFactory and known as the RipServer has not only been designed to serve as a network attached storage (NAS) device offering up to 1TB of capacity and Linux compatibility but as a high quality CD ripper and a UPnP media server.
On the off-chance that you've completely forgotten what his collection looked like, a refresher:
And you can watch a video of his collection with commentary by Newsday fashion writer Anne Bratskeir here.
Now, what can we say as an introduction? We're going to have to cop to something right away: for the most part, we didn't like this collection. There were a handful of looks that we liked
It's Baby's turn!
But first, a refresher:
We haven't tried to hide the fact that we loved Jillian's collection the best. It seems to us that in a competition like Project Runway, the final winner should demonstrate not only a strong point of view and a sense of innovation, but also the ability to get their clothes on racks in stores, and more importantly, on the bodies of consumers.
Onward to bitchery, bitches!
From the waist up, pretty. Very pretty, in fact. We don't normally love those "blooming onion" collars but the proportions are right. The sleeves are nice too. Still don't love the color, though. From the waist down...ouch. High-waisted jodhpurs. Just say that out loud, kittens.
Well, the quilting's nice. Aside from that, there isn't a thing about this look we

When I first heard about the Red Cross’ dismissal of its president Mark Everson, I thought, ‘Here we go again.’ Five presidents in six years isn’t a good track record for any organization and doesn’t inspire confidence, internally or externally.
Upon further reflection, however, I’ve come to more fully appreciate the courage and leadership of the Red Cross–an organization that’s been heavily criticized over the past few years (think 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina).Yet despite this litany of highly public criticism combined with their revolving door presidency, the Red Cross Board decided to run to the crisis. How bold of them to rip off the proverbial Band-Aid and suffer the shorter-term sting rather than to set their organization up for longer-lasting suffering.
The Red Cross’ board made several good strategic decisions:
They got it over with: Board members understood that by asking for Mark Everson’s resignation, they were cr

Bad credit ratings can indicators of disgrace and anxiety for borrowers. You could almost feel what it’s like to be Hester Prynne in Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter. Like Prynne’s letter “A” sewn over dress, bad credit ratings could hamper you in making a decent deal when you apply for a home loan. Worse, some lenders would take advantage of your bad credit rating into tricking you to get lesser paying options, exorbitant fees and skyrocketing interest rates. Is there any chance of redemption from being trapped in this dilemma? Or, would you be forever imploring for lenders to give you a chance to make your home loan more manageable? Fact is that you can have that redemption as easy as 1-2-3 by means of acquiring a bad credit home loan mortgage quote available in your area.
Like Being Burned At The Stake
The difficulties of obtaining a home loan when you have a bad credit rating are formidable. Most often, you feel like you’re bound to be burned at the stake when you s
Here’s to a new blog feature! I get emails almost daily with people asking this very question, “How do you rip music from Myspace or other music streaming sites?”. Keep sending emails with your questions and PMA might actually come up with a guide!Ever found a cool new track on myspace or another site and, to your dismaym couldn’t download it because the “owner” didn’t allow it, so you had to return to that website just to listen to that song? I’m sure we all have. With this fairly simple guide, you can rip songs till your heart (or hard drive) burts with joy (or over load, whatever).
Read the instructions carefully!
1. First download free Audacity recording software here . Follow the instructions on how to install.
2. Open Audacity. Click on the drop down option “Stereo Mix“
3. Next just open the MySpace artist page which you wish to record from. Get ready to click on the play button for the song of your choice.

The KSE-100 index ripped through 14k making an all time intra-day high of 14,169 and closed up at a record high of 14,132. It seems that the correction down to 13,781 was what the market needed to rise further to head towards 14,500. Memories are short in this market and the S&P downward revision to stable from positive seems not to have hindered today’s upside. Despite the upcoming result season there could be another bang downwards as most stocks are not seen as undervalued anymore. It is interesting to note that most of the blue chips had higher prices at a lower index compared to their prices currently.

Thai Airways International president Apinan Sumanseni has touched off a major controversy with "dangerous" criticism of Suvarnabhumi Airport for failing to live up to its potential as a regional cargo and tourism hub.At a recent session of the National Legislative Assembly's Transport Committee, the president said that the new airport had only benefited airlines, while failing to help the Thai people.The subcommittee, which is chaired by Adm Banawit Kengrian, was also surprised when Apinan Sumanseni remarked that the airport's customs free zones had been a failure.Mr Apinan's comments were criticised by subcommittee members, including veteran aviation expert Chusak Bhachaiyud, who is the former senior vice-president for the technical department at THAI.Mr Chusak questioned the THAI president's understanding and attitude on the role of the airport in contributing to national development."It is extremely dangerous if the chief executive of our national carrier subscribes to such an u
RealNetworks have announced a new version of RealPlayer that includes one-click video ripping. The free download able video player will allows users to save and organize video files in all major formats including Flash, QuickTime, RealMedia and Window Media and will support video ripping from sites such as YouTube, Google, Yahoo!, Brightcove, AOL and The New York Times. The ability to rip online videos is not new. A number of programs are already available that provide a similar service yet this is the first time this level of functionality has been offered in a high user base product. The new RealPlayer will not download or record video that is DRM infected but will download everything else, placing it somewhere between headache and law suit for a bevy of content creators. Every content creator will now be challenged by the real possibility that if their product is DRM free, it’s likely to be ripped from the original source site and even burned to CD. I may be exaggerating the probl
AnyDVD, when you insert a DVD, pops up a message stating that it is ripping the DVD and I think states that when finished it will let me know. It doesn’t happen.
To get it to work you need to right click on the icon in the system tray and select  Rip DVD video To Harddisk. That works, everythings ripped, adverts, the lot. When I came to use DVDClone to write the ripped files to a blank DVD it failed as the total size of the ripped files was greater than the 4.7 gig capacity of a blank DVD, so you end up deleting unwanted VOB.
When using DVDClone as a standalone DVD copier i.e. clone the original disk, it just sits there. For some reason you need to enter the disk name but even then nothing happens. Hmmm…

Windows Media Player is the default player on your Windows XP machine.

What's the difference? Anyone can call poop by a different name, but it still looks like it, stinks like it, and still comes from the same place and for the same purpose! After a front page spread by the Des Moines Register on Iowa's most famous and controversial gay, we read that in May Wilson wrote a pro-CIETC letter for publication in The Des Moines Register. State officials say Wilson's law firm billed CIETC $1,193 for the time he spent writing and reviewing the letter.Then CIETC asked the state to reimburse the agency for the expense using job-training money. State officials say they refused that request. Wilson has argued that state officials should not make public his law firm's bills to CIETC.Read Article... Iowa Des Moines CIETC Scandal
