Skyrim keeps freezing,why? - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Answers for Xbox 360 - GameFAQs: "The ugly truth about Skyrim freezing...Like you I had many freezes. Yesterday doing the Nightcaller Cave mission got almost all the way to the end and I had to start over completely at least 5 times, saved it midway and started over at save point at least another 10. After calling Bethesda, then Microsoft, then Bethesda again I finally got an answer. It appears that the autosave feature is the problem-it clogs up the files or something. I was told to only manually save and I went a few hours without freezing so I added save on wait, rest and travel still no freezing. The minute I turned on autosave again it started freezing again. So I turned that off left the others on and no more freezing for at least a day. Hope that this helps anyone with this problem."
Why is Skyrim freezing my Xbox up so much? - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Message Board for Xbox 360 - GameFAQs: "Whenever you enter a room or area the game "remembers".
Later when you go there, the game uses this "memory" to make it easier to load (a useful feature in large games like Skyrim).
Occasionally too much "memory" bogs things down, causing a crash.
Clearing the cache just deletes the games junk files like it does on your computer."
Re: Xbox Freezes When i Play Skyrim [ HELP ] - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Forum - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Xbox.com Forums - Xbox.com: "You need to hold RB + LB + X as the game starts up at the loading screen, this clears the games cashe."

Photo and Video Editing Monitors
Best Under $500 Budget Photo and Video Editing Monitor 2013:
Best IPS Photo Editing Monitors for Photography 2013: "People no longer want to just read words on a paper they want to see it and photographers tell a story that is rich in detail and meaning. Sometimes a photo comes out just right, but most of the time it takes tools, calibration, and editing to get a photo to look like you had it in your mind. In this post I'll review some of the top rated budget or entry level, mid range, and high-end IPS monitors for photography. We'll also discuss the importance of panel types, color gamut, resolution, proper calibration, and more."
Best Monitor for Photo Editing and Photography 2013 Review: "One of the first things you learn as a amateur photographer is to know the intent of your photographs and why you want to take them. If you've come here looking for the best monitor for photo editing, then ask yourself what your intent is. If you're a professional photographer, then you may be looking for a high-end IPS panel monitor with wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction. Casual photographers still want accuracy, but probably want quality options that fit within their price range. In this post I'll review high, mid, and budget IPS monitors for all types."

e-IPS vs. p-IPS Vs. H-IPSThere's a lot of confusion when it comes to IPS panel types and their categories. What should be done is some type of standardization in these names; however, here is what technically should be associated with each of these names.
e-IPS
This is a cheaper-to-produce IPS panel that has become very popular as of late. Typically, the color gamut associated with these types of monitors is not as good as Pro-IPS or H-IPS panels, but is still much better than what you see on a typical monitor. For those that don't necessarily have to have brand color sensitivity, then these types of monitors should be good enough. Typically monitors in this category are advertised as 8 bit with 16.7 million colors; however, in the case of some of the least expensive models are more 6 bit with A-FRC or 8 bit simulated. TFT Central's recent article expands upon this.
H-IPS
Most modern IPS panel models are made in this format with horizontal IPS pixels arranged in vertical lines.
p-IPS
The "p" in p-IPS stands for professional and typically means that a particular IPS monitor has a wider color gamut. While many of these models say they have a 10 bit color palette of 1.07 billion very few do and as in the case of e-IPS some which are advertised are actually 8 bit with AFRC simulation. True 10 bit monitors will exceed the 8-bit+AFRC module monitors in price.
Other options:
There are many other IPS options available in the market. Overall, pay attention to customer ratings and reviews for a more accurate depiction of what you're getting in a monitor.

Boilsoft Video Converter - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com: "There are only three questions worth asking about a video-converting program: is it free, is it fast, and how is the video quality? Boilsoft Video Converter answers the second two questions well, but misses on the first. If you can handle paying for it, it is a quality video converter.
Boilsoft Video Converter costs $34.95 to use. If you don't pay, the program adds a goofy watermark over the middle of your video. For your money, you're getting a really smooth layout that's easy to use. "
Best Free DVD Ripper: September 2013 Reviews "After testing several free DVD rippers, I find it’s really hard to say which one is the best. Perhaps A supports numerous outputs. But it only rips part of the protected DVDs. Maybe B is powerful enough to rip the latest protected DVDs. However, the features are difficult to understand for beginners. Hence, you are welcome to comment below with your own experience. Let’s work together to make this category better and better."

No third-party codec package is needed."

This is assuming that digital anonymity will even be possible when the kids are grown. I post, but I don't tag, pictures of the kids. If they want to do that when they are old enough for their own accounts they can.

I'm 13 and None of My Friends Use Facebook
I've been noticing this. Offered to discuss getting an account for my son (who isn't on any networks that I know of) and he said that he didn't want one. I was relieved.
