Windows 10 Demo - Official Release (Final Version)
Microsofts Windows 10 is out Wednesday. That means the clock is now ticking for current users of Windows 7 and up, who will have one year from today to take advantage of Microsofts free upgrade offer.
Ready to make the move to Windows 10? Heres a quick and dirty guide to installing it. As with all major upgrades, remember to back up your machine first. Its also a good idea to check if your computer can handle the new software.
1. By now, eligible users should have seen a pop up notification on their desktop inviting them to reserve your free upgrade of Windows 10 (non-eligible users will have to either buy a new Windows device or pony up $119 for the Home version). If you havent already reserved a copy, do so, because thats how Microsoft confirms your eligibility and starts prepping your device, quietly installing files on your computer in anticipation of the big download to come.
2. Soon youll see another pop-up notification to start the upgrade. It will look something like this:
Hit that notification, and the installation begins. Download times can vary from 20 minutes to more than an hour, depending on your device, which should give you more than enough time to read TIMEs Indispensable Guide to Windows 10 and hit the ground running. If you dont see that notification, you can download Windows 10 right here.
MLB 15 The Show Toronto Blue Jays Franchise Mode - Episode 3 - Tulowitzki Trade
Your move, Dan Duquette.
The Orioles executive vice president of baseball operationssaid again Monday that his team is in the playoff chase and that hes looking to improve the club.
Dont wait too long because one of the teams youre battling for a playoff spot, the Toronto Blue Jays, just got a whole lot better.
Already leading the majors in runs scored by a wide margin, the Blue Jays traded for Colorado Rockies All-Star shortstop Troy Tulowitzki early this morning, according to wire reports. The nonwaiver trading deadline is Friday at 4 p.m.
The Blue Jays will also receive 42-year-old reliever LaTroy Hawkins. Toronto is sending shortstop Jose Reyes along with reliever Miguel Castro and two minor league pitchers to the Rockies.
The Orioleswon their third straight game Monday night, 2-1, on walk-off home run by catcher Matt Wieters.
The win kept the Orioles tied with the Blue Jays for second place in the American League East, seven games behind the New York Yankees and three games out in the wild-card race. But the Blue Jays, lacking starting pitching, must have decided they are just going to outscore everyone else as they fight for a playoff spot.
Whats interesting is that the Blue Jays already had a good shortstop in Reyes (batting .285 with four home runs, 16 stolen bases and a .708 OPS) who was leading off and setting the table for the Jays sluggers. Who bats leadoff now? Torontos best on-base percentage guy is Jose Bautista, whos hitting just .234 but getting walked a lot. Do you move Bautista to leadoff and put Tulowitzki (batting .300 in 87 games this season, with 12 home runs and an .831 OPS) in the third spot?
Who cares? At least the Blue Jays are trying to do something.
All Os manager Buck Showalter can do is move players up and down the lineup and hope someone off the bench catches fire. Hes starting Ryan Flaherty at first base for crying out loud.
At the very least the Os can pull the plug on Travis Snider, David Lough and Chris Parmelee. Two of those three should go, and until Steve Pearce comes back, bring Christian Walker up to play first base. Hes hot right now. Maybe it will carry over from Triple-A Norfolk.
The Orioles better hope Ubaldo Jimenez rediscovers what was working in the first half. If he gets lit up again, the Os are in deep trouble.
While its nice to have the best defense in baseball, you cant field home runs. And the Blue Jays, 7-5 against the Os this season, just pulled off a stunning trade to get the best player available and another power bat.

Styles P, one-third of Yonkers rap group The Lox, opened up on Instagram yesterday (July 26) with a very heavy heart and informed his fans of the trying time he and his family are undergoing. According to the rapper, who spoke out on police brutality back at the top of the year, he and his wife have been quietly suffering after their 20-something-year-old daughter, Tai Hing (Tai Styles)committed suicide a month ago. Styles took to social media to express his anguish in a heart-wrenching message for fans and fellow artists, conveying just how important family ties are.

Styles penned a heart-felt message on Instagram about his daughter taking her own life over a month ago. Although Tai was not his biological child, we are able to gather that the two shared a bond unparalleled and that her existence meant the world to him.
In anguish-filled rhetoric Styles wrote,"I have lost my brother, father, aunt, grandmother in law and too many good friends/ brothers and now my daughter!!!!"
The former Bad Boy artist goes on to refelect on his career saying that while he"s had the privilege of seeing the world, having millions of fans worldwide and obtaining riches beyond his dreams, none of that measures up to the love and importance of family.
He warns fellow artists that while chasing your goals and aspirations are important, nothing is of more value than the loved ones who surround you. Styles maintains that on the road to riches one should never lose their focus, which is keeping "family first".
Styles P performed at the BET Awards last month during the Bad Boy reunion, and also made a cameo in Dame Dash and Kanye West"s Too Honorable trailer earlier this year.
Let our prayers and well wishes be with Styles and his family during these difficult times.
I rarely speak on my personal issues and i usually express my pain the through music but today I will share a little with you last month my wife and I lost a daughter and my son lost a sister . My baby girl took her life and there are no words to describe the day to day pain we have to endure and maintain through but in dealing with pain you find yourself dealing with the creator and asking questions and going through emotions most would not understand. So I"m taking this time out to express a few things to y"all because life is short and we are not promised tomorrow. I like to deal with simple math I know I am 180- 180+ but im trying my best to live on the positive side of things . I have truly tried to live up to the code of being a gentleman and gangster to fullest of my ability. I have been chasing the dollar bill since I was 12 years old I hustled I worked legal jobs and even manage to make my dream of making it as a rapper come true I have popped bottles before it was the thing to do , I have owned beamers, benzos , rovers, trucks etc etc etc I have lived in the ritz ,owned condos , houses traveled a lot of places etc etc etc but I can honestly tell you don"t none of that s**t add up or equal to love!! I have lost my brother , father , aunt , grandmother in law and too many good friends/ brothers and now my daughter!!!! But the only thing that can be done is to leave it in the creators hands . But I wouldn"t be me if I didn"t take this time out to say from the most humbled part of my heart and soul to say to yall that the dream most of us chase is not !!I repeat is not !!more valuable than the love you get from your family and friends it may seem like it is but it ain"t they print money and make material s**t everyday but once you used a love one that"s it the spirit is with you but you will miss the physical and Won"t be able to speak to them how you want to until you get home to the other side. So I just want to tell yall keep it family 1st and don"t get lost and lose your focus the fam is way more important than anything else .... We lost a daughter but gained an angel . Love is love ..ghost

David Ortiz Takes On Shane Victorino In "Know Your Teammates"
Shane Victorino
In case you missed it, the Boston Red Sox are no longer in contention.
Through 100 games, their record stands at 44-56. Theyre 13 games behind the first-place New York Yankees. Theyre unlikely to get to .500 this season. Even climbing out of the cellar of the AL East seems like an impossible feat.
As the trade deadline approaches, the Red Sox have obvious areas that need improvement (as is what happens when youre tied for the worst record in the American League). Their pitching woes, both in the starting rotation and in the bullpen, are so immense, there isnt a quick remedy to acquire by July 31. Their anemic offense, however, seems solvable.
The Red Sox wont be buyers this week. Pitching aside, the Red Sox do have the pieces to be a successful team. At the beginning of the season, the Red Sox seemed to have an overload of major league talent on their bloated payroll. Yet, with two months remaining, underperformances and injuries have led manager John Farrell to get creative with the lineup.
Unlike last season, the 2015 Red Sox lack the assets to have a July 31 fire sale. Their young players (Mookie Betts, Blake Swihart, etc.) have certainly attracted attention, but the Red Sox have rightly rejected these offers. The so-called Youth Movement will continue, now with the luxury of two months to develop young talent at the major league level without the pressure of making the post-season. With prospects settling into roles as contributors, the team needs to look into unloading underperforming veterans which is easier said than done.
On Sunday, there was a glimmer of hope: Rob Biertempfel reported that the Pittsburg Pirates were interested in Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino.
Napolis name was surprising, to say the least. Hes struggled severely this season, although a recent hot streak has finally brought his average above .200. Trade interest in Napoli is practically a blessing for the Red Sox.
Its unclear what the Pirates are offering in exchange. Just moving Napoli would be enough for the team, although a reliable bullpen arm would be nice.Dumping Napoli would allow the team to experiment with a permanent solution at first base. As with the Victorino trade, in which the Red Sox will pay the Los Angeles Angels $3.8 million of the $5 million Victorino is still owed this season, the team is looking to move older players to give young players a chance to prove themselves in the majors. With Victorino gone, Rusney Castillo, the $70 million Cuban outfielder, has the opportunity to do exactly this.
As evident at Victorinos emotional press conference last night, these decisions are never easy. Injuries have prevented Victorino from playing more than 63 games combined in 2014 and 2015. However, it cant be forgotten how instrumental he was in 2013. Without Victorino, the championship run would look radically different. The same can be said of Napoli.
Its never easy to part with beloved players who will live on forever in a teams championship lore. While 2015 is over, the Red Sox need to put sentimentalityasideand make moves by July 31 that will allow them to prepare for the future.

George Hamilton on George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight: INTERVIEW
Born: July 19, 1937
Died: Sept 17, 2014
Billboard Magazine once christened Winston-Salems own George Hamilton IV as the International Ambassador of Country Musicand the title couldnt have been more fitting. With his engaging personality and tender vocal style, Hamilton helped spread American country music across the globe.
He was the first American artist to record songs by Canadians Gordon Lightfoot and Joni Mitchell. In the 1960s he hosted country music TV shows in Canada, England, and Ireland. He toured Australia, Japan, and across the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The British Country Music Association named him honorary life president, and The Guardian (a British daily newspaper) postulated that The growth of country music in Britain was due in no small way to the efforts of George Hamilton IV. Finally, in 1974 he became the first American country artist to perform behind Europes Iron Curtain.
Hamiltons ascent in country music can be traced back to his grandfathers radio in Winston-Salem. He was born and raised in the Twin City, where his parents, George III and Mary Lillian, raised him in a loving, deeply devout Moravian home. His grandfather, George II, a railroad man, turned him on to country music, listening to the Grand Ole Opry on the radio.
Interestingly, Hamilton began his career as a pop/rock singer. In 1956, the clean-cut 19-year-old entered a recording studio on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill and recorded the single, A Rose and a Baby Ruth. The song would reach No. 6 on Billboards rock chart and sell over a million copies. Two years later he made a surprising move by abandoning rock to record country music, eventually hitting No. 1 on the country charts with Abilene, his best-known song.
In a career that lasted 58 years, Hamilton released 40 albums with 11 top-10 songs. He joined the Grand Ole Opry in 1960, was inducted into the N.C. Music Hall of Fame in 2010, and received multiple Grammy nominations. He also helped persuade the Country Music Association in Nashville to develop Fan Fare, now called the CMA Music Festival.
In June 1958 he married his high school sweetheart, Adelaide Tinky Peyton. A lifelong student of history and people, he was often found giving impromptu tours to fans at the Grand Ole Opry. USA Today wrote of him, In a business populated by brash and outlandish stars, Hamilton traded on subtlety, gentility, and decency.
