How to disable Office 2013 start screen by Rick Broida at PC World

How to disable Office 2013's start screen | PCWorld:

Rick Broida @justrick Mar 20, 2013

There's a lot to like about the new Office 2013. Heck, some might argue that Outlook alone is worth the price of admission.

One thing that bothers me, however, is the startup screen that appears when you launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. It's a nice addition, and a quick way to access recent documents or create a new one using a template, but it's not how I like to work.

Fortunately, it's fairly easy to configure Office to bypass that screen for the aforementioned three programs. Here's how, using Word as an example: … Read more: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2031432/how-to-disable-office-2013s-start-screen.html

Carroll's Christmas celebrations tempered by news of war, Great Depression

#CarrollCounty #Christmas celebrations tempered by news of war, Great Depression

@SunWestminster Columnist @kevindayhoff Many years ago, most of the newspaper accounts about Christmas in Carroll County were not published until after Christmas. Most of the advertisements for Christmas did not appear until well after the first day of December. Christmas was celebrated for a short period of time then folks quickly went back to the business of the day.

News from The Hill: Five Senate races to watch By Alexandra Jaffe

Read the story here.

Democrats and Republicans are amassing enormous war chests for a midterm battle that will decide who controls the Senate for the remainder of President Obama’s term.

Republicans need a net gain of six seats to reclaim the Senate majority, and are gunning for Democratic incumbents in conservative-leaning states like Arkansas, Alaska, North Carolina, West Virginia and Louisiana.

Democrats are mostly playing defense, but see a few opportunities to peel away seats from the GOP column. Read the story here.

PRUDEN: Duck Dynasty's Robertson family teaches Hollywood a lesson - Washington Times

PRUDEN: Duck Dynasty's Robertson family teaches Hollywood a lesson - Washington Times: "PRUDEN: Duck Dynasty’s Robertson family teaches Hollywood a lesson

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/dec/26/pruden-youve-got-to-know-the-territory/

By Wesley Pruden Thursday, December 26, 2013"The uproar over “Duck Dynasty” should be studied forever in the business schools

as a priceless teaching exercise in marketing quackery. Television executives are so highly paid because they’re supposed to be so smart. Rarely have so many smart guys been so out to lunch.

The noisy row over the A&E cable network

suspending Phil Robertson, the head duck, was mostly not about free speech — the network had a right to suspend him, depending on what was in the contract — but about how low the network wanted to kowtow to the lavender lobby, disrespect for religious belief, and whether it wanted to put at risk its No. 1 show. This is where the A&E suits made their incredible miscalculation, based on gross ignorance of who and what they were dealing with. An office boy would have known better.

“A&E,” says Lisa de Moraes, the influential television critic for the Deadline/Hollywood website, “has been dazedly dog-paddling since the interview [in GQ magazine] and its hit show suddenly stopped quacking like all those other homespun reality series on TV and began Bible-thumping like the religious parable [the controversy] actually is.”

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2013/12/ronald-leroy-rognlien-61-traveled-world.html

Ronald LeRoy Rognlien, 61, a retired defense contractor and world traveler with family ties to Westminster, died unexpectedly from a heart attack at his home in Warrenton, Va., on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013.

Born in 1952 in Baraboo, Wis.; he was the son of the late Stanley LeRoy Rognlien and the late Arlene Doris Jacobson Rognlien. His father served on submarines in the U.S. Navy during World War II in the Pacific, then worked throughout his career with Alcoa, the Aluminum Company of America. As a result, the family lived all over America.

After graduating with a degree in electrical engineering from Oregon State University, Mr. Rognlien followed in his father’s footsteps and served for 32 years as a defense contractor with the intelligence community -- a job that took him to some 68 countries over the years. His particular field of expertise was computer science and communications.

Mr. Rognlien married Marian Babylon in 1982 at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Westminster.

After retirement, Mr. Rognlien continued serving others through volunteer and mission service. He again traveled the world, this time for recreation, and spent time in Westminster with his extended family. He enjoyed fishing in Alaska, playing math and word games like Sudoku, and drove the Alcan Highway and across the United States several times.

In addition to his training as an electrical engineer, he was handy with tools and home improvement projects. He was a veteran of many mission trips with Taylorsville United Methodist Church, helping those who had suffered from natural disasters. Those mission included trips to Biloxi, Miss. after Hurricane Katrina and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy.

He volunteered at numerous Carroll County civic and community functions. He was handy with a chainsaw and was among the Taylorsville “wood chuckers,” who cut firewood for the needy. He was a serious student of golf.

The family will receive friends at the Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home, at 91 Willis Street, Westminster, MD on Monday, December 23, from 7 to 9 p.m.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, December 28 at 11 a.m. at Our Savior Lutheran Church, 6194 Dumfries Rd., Warrenton, VA; with visitation starting at 10 a.m. The Rev. Michael Church will officiate with a eulogy by The Rev. Sarah Dorrance.

Inurnment will be private at the family mausoleum at Krider’s Cemetery, Westminster, Md.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to People Helping People, 34 Beckham Street, Warrenton, VA 20186.

Grading the Big Four: How did your wireless carrier rate in 2013? | TechHive: "
Evan Dashevsky @haldash Dec 17, 2013 3:00 AM"

http://www.techhive.com/article/2079841/grading-the-big-four-how-did-your-wireless-carrier-rate-in-2013.html#tk.nl_advis

The big wireless carriers have few qualms about charging customers for sending and receiving texts, despite the fact that providing the service costs them virtually nothing.

Your carrier is ripping you off.

And it may even be putting your life at risk. Law enforcement has pleaded with manufacturers to include device “kill switches” to thwart the tsunami of smartphone-driven street crime. But most phones don’t have a kill switch. Why? Because including one would eat into profits the carriers make from selling device insurance. Yup.

Though the carriers clearly have no respect for their customers, they do have to compete for our business. So let’s take a look back at 2013 to see which companies made things a little bit easier for consumers and which introduced unnecessary annoyances into our lives.... http://www.techhive.com/article/2079841/grading-the-big-four-how-did-your-wireless-carrier-rate-in-2013.html#tk.nl_advis

The Christmas season has always been a special time in Westminster. For generations; long before our current tradition of an electric light parade right after Thanksgiving, the city came together for a community celebration and a parade called the Christmas Treat…

[…]

Times have changed. The center of town is now considered to be the park at Locust Lane. Government does not dare use the words "Christmas" or "Hanukkah." And technology, not fruit, is at the top of the Christmas list for most folks. In my childhood years in Westminster in the 1950s, our favorite fruit was not an "Apple" computer. A gift of oranges was considered to be particularly special…

Ronald LeRoy Rognlien, 61, died unexpectedly from a massive heart attack at his home in Warrenton, Va., on Thursday morning, December 19, 2013.

Born in 1952 in Baraboo, Wis.; he was the son of the late Stanley LeRoy Rognlien and the late Arlene Doris Jacobson Rognlien.

It was a job that took him to approximately 68 countries over the years. His particular field of expertise was computer science and communications.

Mr. Rognlien married Marian Babylon in 1982 at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church in Westminster.

He was a veteran of many mission trips with Taylorsville United Methodist Church, to help folks who had suffered from natural disasters, including places such as Biloxi, Miss. after Hurricane Katrina and New Jersey after Hurricane Sandy.

He volunteered at numerous Carroll County civic and community functions. He was handy with a chainsaw and often helped cutting firewood with the Taylorsville “wood chuckers,” who cut firewood for the needy. He was a serious student of the game of golf.

In the greater Warrenton community, he volunteered extensively with organizations such as People Helping People, VolTran, and the Fauquier County Food Distribution Coalition. He worked for the Fauquier Co. Board of Election Supervisors. He was a member of the Warrenton Stamp and Coin Club and was a founding parent of the FAST swim team. He was an active member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Warrenton.

He remained an avid reader his entire life and was seldom seen without a book in his hand. He was comfortable in the kitchen and well-known for his special “Ron’s pancakes.” He was also an avid movie-buff. He was the family genealogist and took a scholarly approach to military history, and the form, function and history of American government. He attended all of his daughter’s swim meets, lacrosse games, and field hockey matches throughout high school and college.

In addition to his wife of 31 years, he is survived by his daughter, Marnie of Copley, Ohio, and her fiancé, Louis Paumier, of Wooster, Ohio; his brother, Roger Rognlien and wife Linda of Scio, Ore., and his sisters, Diane and Darlene Rognlien of Corvallis, Ore., Deanna Jorgensen and her husband, Christopher of Dunedin, Fla.

He is also survived by his mother-in-law Evelyn F. Babylon, sisters-in-law: the Rev. Sarah Babylon Dorrance of Taylorsville United Methodist Church; Lt. Col. Trisch Babylon, US Army (Ret.,) of Anchorage, Alaska; and Caroline Babylon of Westminster and brothers-in-law: Kevin E. Dayhoff of Westminster and Col. William T. Babylon, US Army (Ret.) of Anchorage, Alaska. He was predeceased by his father-in-law, David S. Babylon, Jr. in August 2006, and brother-in-law, Lt. Commander Jim Dorrance, US Navy Reserve in June 1991.

In addition to close friends and colleagues and his immediate family, Mr. Rognlien is survived by nieces, nephews; including Phil and Jamie Dorrance Miller, Andy and Melissa Dorrance Cimbala, Frank and Rosa Babylon, Liz, and David Babylon III, and great-niece Nora Harper Babylon and great-nephew Evan Parker Babylon.

The family will receive friends at the Myers-Durboraw Funeral Home, at 91 Willis Street, Westminster, MD on Monday, December 23, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Inurnment will be private at the family mausoleum at Krider’s Cemetery, Westminster, Md.
