(LOS ANGELES) -- Prince Michael Jackson, the eldest son of the late Michael Jackson, has joined Entertainment Tonight as an on-air correspondent.
"I'm looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor," Jackson told ET's Brooke Anderson about his new gig.
Prince's first assignment was a press junket for Disney's upcoming film, Oz the Great and Powerful, a re-imagining of the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz. Prince's father portrayed the Scarecrow in the 1978 musical remake, The Wiz.
Anderson said Prince acted very mature for his 16 years. "That was all thanks to my dad," says Prince. "He raised me right."

Exterior Accessories
Anytime that you want to improve the look of what you're driving, you can't just go out to the store and buy a new car, unless you're loaded. Provided that you aren't, like most people, you'll need to freshen up the look of your current car instead. Since most attention by others is paid to how your car looks on the outside, using some exterior accessories to alter your car's appearance can result in some stylish improvements.
Exterior accessories can include a wide range of aftermarket upgrades, including extensive overhaul pieces such as body kits, and less invasive ones such as putting on a new rear spoiler. For more minor improvements, items such as emblems and grilles can be replaced, and even the casings for car's headlights and tail lights can be altered at your convenience (especially if they're suffering from yellowing over the years). When you want your car to look its best, all it takes is some creativity and a few exterior accessories for your car to make it happen.

"Worth every penny, these shoes do not disappoint!" 01/07/13
I buy Keen shoes for the fit (wide feet) and durability. These hiking shoes live up to the reputation. Ordered a whole size up from my normal size (my other Keens are a half-size larger than normal). Glad I got the larger size. They fit great, with plenty of width and room to wiggle toes. So far, they have remained waterproof in rain, deep puddles, and wet grass. Short break-in period, wore them 'around town' for about a week, with no hot spots. Will replace the keen insoles with Superfeet because the insoles that came with the shoes are not supportive enough for high arches. Tested them out on some easy trails and had no problems with slipping or rocks/roots.
"Onto my 2nd pair. Love them" 12/14/12
Buy a size larger than normal. Super comfortable and waterproof. Plenty of room in the toe box. Looks a little like clown feet when wearing them. Blister free walking. Dont think I will try anything else. These shoes are just too good. Looking forward to walking thru France and Spain next year 500 miles

"I will buy this again and again" 12/04/12
I love this Keen hiking shoe. I hiked 700 miles in it on the Appalachian Trail and it still feels amazing. I NEVER had a blister from these shoes. (I did take the time to break them in first, of course!) There is one little place where the tread is starting to be loose, but otherwise the shoe still looks and feels great. My feet are wide, and the boxy toe area is perfect for me. They are also relatively water-proof, which is a nice addition. And because the laces are bumpy they stay tied pretty well unless they are wet.
"No fit!" 03/19/11
I tried a 7.5 and an 8. I have other Keens size 7.5 that are the best fitting shoes I own. In this style the 7.5 was too short for my toes, but the 8 slipped everywhere on my heels. Also, Keens run wide and I have a wide foot, but these could have used more width, unless, of course, your foot is normal! Loved the shoe, but was of no use to me. I hated paying all that return postage!
"Great shoe" 12/16/10
These shoes are super comfortable - great arch support and plenty of room in the toe box. They'd be great for a light hike if we could ever get a babysitter, but that's a story for another day. I love that they're waterproof and I can wander through rain and snow with no worries of cold wet feet.
"Awesome shoes! They'll become your fav outdoor shoes guaranteed." 11/21/10
I LOVE Keens. They make awesome products. I bought mine specifically for Disc Golf, since a lot of the time I end up playing in the mud or in flooded areas. The waterproofing holds up great, and I haven't had any leaks even during heavy rain.
"Awesome hiking shoe: light and comfortable" 11/21/10
I took these 'boots' with me to Central Asia where they got put through the ringer hiking through Krygz. and Uzbek. Never had an problems with them, the soles held up through miles of hiking/backpacking, laces and eyes never gave out, the heal loop was great for getting them on or clipping them to the backpack. I took out the factory insole though, it wasn't very comfortable, and replaced it with some superfeet. Life was much better after that. Also, the toe box runs wide, so duck feet people rejoice.p.s. they're also a great casual shoe for walking around slippery colorado winter sidewalks.
"they'll become your favorite shoes" 11/14/10
I bought my first pair because I wanted waterproof shoes to wear in remote villages in the Dominican Republic. I wore them every day for the 2 months I was down there. Since then, I've used these shoes as my go-to hiking boots. They are light, sturdy, and waterproof. I've also used them for trail-running, mountaineering (not recommended), rock climbing, and wading into the frigid waters of Puget sound. And I wear them to work. And church. The webbing that holds the laces broke on my first pair, but loved the shoes so much I got another pair to replace them.
"Great, sturdy shoe, runs wide!" 10/06/10
These shoes are super comfortable, very stable light hikers. I use them during every season for short hikes or just walking around town. They do run very wide, though (like all keens), so if you have a narrow foot these are not the shoes for you! They are a little more difficult to lace up tight if you're foot is on the narrow side. They hold up very nicely though and barely require any break-in time!
"Comfortable and Versatile" 04/06/10
Bought this shoe to work in SE Alaska. Held up well in all kinds of weather and was still comfy after wearing for 12 hours. Looked nice with my work khakis but still heavy duty enough for some light trail hikes. The material cleans up really nicely, big fan of these shoes. All the keens I've owned are really comfortable and light.
"Love this shoe!!" 10/02/09
One word of warning...this shoe does run a little small. I typically wear a 9.5 but had to get it in a 10. Not an issue though. This shoe is great for light hiking. Even in the mornings when I take my dog for a walk and the dew is still on the grass, never get my socks wet!! Can't beat that. Another bonus is they make you a little bit taller. The sole is thick and comfortable. These are great for spring, fall and maybe winter days. But way too warm for summer!!!! Highly recommend them!

A major winter storm whipped the Upper Midwest early Monday, just after a historic snowfall buried much of the Northeast.
The latest blizzard dumped 8 to 15 inches of snow across parts of seven states but saved most of its fury for the Dakotas and Minnesota, the National Weather Service said. Snow showers and blowing snow were expected to linger Monday across the area.
More than 1,000 miles away, residents of the Northeast spent the weekend digging out from a storm that dumped several feet of snow across the region.
In the Southeast, at least 15 tornadoes formed across southern Mississippi and Alabama on Sunday afternoon as a cold front moved in. Major damage was caused by a tornado that struck Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The Mobile, Alabama, National Weather Service Office was to begin conducting damage surveys Monday.
According to Storm Prediction Center reports, nearly 70 people were injured in Sunday's storms, with at least 61 of those in Hattiesburg.
North begins recovery
In the Northeast, the heavy snow that fell over the weekend was still causing problems Monday. Scott Devico, a spokesman for the Connecticut Department of Emergency Management, said Monday the roofs of 16 homes and buildings had collapsed because of the weight of the snow piled atop them.
The storm's toll rose to 11 when a man and woman were found dead in a car in Meriden, apparently due to carbon monoxide poisoning, Devico said. Five of the nine other fatalities were in Connecticut, along with one in New York, one in Massachusetts and two in the Canadian province of Ontario.
In Bridgeport, Connecticut, Mayor Bill Finch said the city had gotten some 30 inches of snow. As of Monday morning, 10% to 20% of it had been plowed, with the city's main roads expected to be cleared by Tuesday morning, secondary roads by Thursday and Friday, and residential streets by Sunday, he said.
Bridgeport is no special case. "I've talked to other mayors; we're all buried," he said.

I think I'm kind of in love with these floors.
This was not a quick or easy project but it was sooo worth the effort. I should add here that this project does not have to take months to complete - I had lots of delays with the holidays and general busyness.
Here is a quick run-down of how I did it.
- Rip out old carpet and carpet padding. Remove all tack strips and staples from subfloor.
- Patch the seams and staple holes. (This is the only part I really wasn't pleased with. I used Flexible Floor Patch and Leveler. This was not the right choice. It is good because it flexes with the floor and all that stuff. But it is horrible because you can't sand it smooth).
- Sand the floor. We just used a small palm sander but of course a large floor sander would work much faster. Just remember that this is plywood - it is not going to be silky smooth.
- Prime the floor with a quality primer. (Zinsser Oil-based primer)
- Paint the base color onto the floor. (Valspar porch and floor paint in 'Chimney Smoke')
- Paint border around room (Valspar 'Crucible'). To get nice crisp lines follow these steps.
- Stencil the design inside the border. (Paisley Allover Stencil from Cutting Edge.
- Seal the floor to protect it. (Varathane Crystal Clear Water-based floor sealer in Satin Finish)
LOVE! There will certainly be more painted floors making their way through my house in the not-too-distant future.
Now I need to finish the trim, and then it is on to the total room makeover these floors have jump-started. I want to make sure the rest of the room is as great as the floors!
UPDATE: Be sure to check out my update on how the floors are holding up seven months later right here!

Cushman & Wakefield Reports Increase in Revenue and Earnings for 20116 Apr, 2012, New York
Cushman & Wakefield, the world's largest privately held commercial real estate services
firm, today reported full-year results for the year ended December 31, 2011, which show
increases in revenue and earnings driven by the company's strategic growth initiatives as it
expands its platform to provide consistent and quality services to its global clients.
Cushman & Wakefield, which is majority owned by EXOR S.p.A., the investment company of the Agnelli family, reported gross revenue of $2.0 billion for the full year 2011, an increase of $236.3 million, or 13.4%, compared to the full year 2010. The performance was the second highest revenue in the firm's history, after only 2007, when the firm reported $2.1 billion in revenue. Commission and service fee revenue, which excludes reimbursed costs related to managed properties and other costs, increased $172.7 million, or 12.3%, to $1.6 billion. For the full-year 2011, net income on an IFRS basis[i] improved $1.8 million, or 13.7%, to $14.9 million.[ii] Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)[iii] rose 19.7% to $111.1 million, compared to $92.8 million for 2010. On a U.S. GAAP basis,[iv] net income for the full year 2011 fell $6.7 million to $19.0 million, primarily due to a year-over-year increase in income taxes. EBITDA on a U.S. GAAP basis increased $2.1 million, or 2.0%, to $109.4 million year-over-year. The difference between the company's performance on a U.S. GAAP basis and an IFRS basis is due primarily to the accounting for compensation-related taxes and charges, the non-controlling interests' put option rights and certain income taxes.[v] 2011 Full-Year Highlights: -Second consecutive year of double-digit revenue growth In 2011, Cushman & Wakefield acted as exclusive leasing and sales agent for many of the
most prestigious properties worldwide. The firm was involved in more than 31,000 property sales
and leasing transactions, with an aggregate value of nearly $89 billion. Highlights of 2011
included working as the exclusive agent on behalf of The Port Authority of New York and New
Jersey and The Durst Organization to arrange a one-million-square-foot office lease to Condé
Nast at One World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan; advising Google on its €100 million
acquisition of two buildings in Dublin, the city's largest investment transaction since 2007;
arranging the $715 million sale of Capital Square, a 386,000-square-foot, class-A office
building in Singapore; representing Nomura Holdings in its 900,000-square-foot lease at
Worldwide Plaza in Manhattan; and completing the year's largest office lease globally through
its representation of Shell Oil Company in its 1.2 million square foot renewal in
Houston. As the trend of corporate real estate outsourcing strengthens, Cushman & Wakefield continues to gain major assignments globally and regionally on behalf of major corporations and institutions. During 2011, Cushman & Wakefield's Corporate Occupier & Investor Services Group continued to win major accounts worldwide, including Ernst & Young, New York Life, United Technologies and Harley Davidson.

These statements may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. These forward-looking statements are made based on our management's expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

Cushman & Wakefield's financial results under IFRIS vary from those presented on a U.S. GAAP basis. The difference between the IFRS and U.S. GAAP measures of net income is primarily due to the accounting for compensation-related taxes and charges, the non-controlling interests' put option rights and certain income tax adjustments. The difference between the EBITDA under IFRS and the EBITDA under U.S. GAAP is attributable to those same items, excluding the income tax impacts. [ii] The 2011 net income results under IFRS were negatively impacted by an increase in income tax expense of $30.3 million to $35.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with $5.3 million for 2010, representing an increase in the Company's reported tax rate to 70.5% for the current year, as compared with 28.6% for the prior year. On a comparative basis, the 2011 reported rate was negatively impacted by a year-over-year increase in discrete period and other net charges and the generation of a higher mix of C&W Group's earnings in the U.S., which are taxed at higher rates. The discrete and other net charges and change in mix negatively impacted the 2011 reported rate by approximately 22 percentage points, while the mix of earnings in the prior year positively impacted the 2010 reported rate by approximately 19 percentage points. [iii] The Company's management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry, because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing, income taxes, capital spending and acquisitions, which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. The Company's management uses EBITDA to evaluate the performance of various service lines and for other discretionary purposes, including the use of a measure of EBITDA, before taking into account incentive compensation, as a significant component when measuring performance under its employee incentive programs. Management also believes EBITDA is useful to its investors as a measure of results from operations. [iv] Cushman & Wakefield's peer group reports financial results on a U.S. GAAP basis, while Cushman & Wakefield provides its results on an IFRS and U.S. GAAP basis. [v] Similar to IFRS, the 2011 net income results under U.S. GAAP were negatively impacted by an increase in income tax expense of $22.9 million to $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with $7.5 million for 2010, representing an increase in the Company's reported tax rate to 61.5% for the current year, as compared with 22.6% for the prior year. The year-over-year increase in the reported rate is primarily attributable to the same reasons driving the IFRS reported rate, as outlined above, excluding the tax impacts relating to the non-controlling interests' put option rights and certain stock-based compensation impacts, as these only affected Cushman & Wakefield's IFRS results.

How to boot/install from USB key ? - the historical thread - how it all began
Posted 03 November 2007 - 05:55 PM
Sorry about the delay, lack of spare time lately.
Here is what has to be added to usbprep.cmd to add rdummy driver.
ECHO Adding lines to TXTSETUP.SIF .... ............. REM added for USB hard drives, loads rdummy.sys during Text Setup, which makes usbstor to see USB drives as removable fedit -f %tmpdrive%\txtsetup.sif -add -once -l "rdummy.sys = 1,,,,,,4_,4,1,,,1,4" -s SourceDisksFiles fedit -f %tmpdrive%\txtsetup.sif -add -once -l "rdummy = rdummy.sys,4" -s SCSI.Load fedit -f %tmpdrive%\txtsetup.sif -add -once -l "rdummy = \"USB hard disk as removable\"" -s SCSI fedit -f %tmpdrive%\$WIN_NT$.~BT\winnt.sif -add -create -l "\"sc config rdummy start= disabled"" -s GuiRunOnce copy rdummy.sy_ %tmpdrive%\$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386 copy rdummy.sy_ %tmpdrive%\$WIN_NT$.~BT
rdummy.sy_ and it's source code are in the attachment.
Installation tested with XP SP2 source, 80GB IDE HD, generic IDE-USB adapter. Drive formated FAT16x with 1.9GB partition using PEtoUSB. XP built-in format didn't make it bootable.
On first GUI logon rdummy service is disabled, on next reboot it'll be inactive. If one needs to reenable it simply change startup type in services to 0, or use "sc config rdummy start= boot".
WARNING!!! There is no warranty whatsoever for this driver and it's behavior, use it COMPLETELY at your own risk.
The only issue I've seen by now is BSOD 7B when F3 is pressed to quit from Setup, but there may be others. Not tested with 2K/2K3.
@wimb- would you add this as an option, the same way we choose source path etc. I didn't want to mess with the batch file.
A few minor suggestions for usbprep.cmd-
1. boot.ini options on stick could be easier to be like:
[Boot Loader] Timeout=10 Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS [Operating Systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Steps 2 and 3- GUI Mode Setup and first start " /FASTDETECT C:\SETUPLDR.bs="Step1- TEXT Mode Setup (Don't unplug USB drive until after first GUI logon)"
2. For the usbprep.cmd options- I'd rather "dumb" copy all files and folders from source\I386 to ~LS\I386 skipping existing files, instead of having option 0. This doesn't add too much space, USB sticks are bigger and if one would like smaller source, he would do that in advance. It's also safer.
@all- Question- xcopy /d would copy non-existing files to target, I read that if files are NOT newer than 1 day they'd not be copied, is that right? What would happen if one makes a new XP source today, NLite it and use xcopy /D ?
Copy files that have changed since mm-dd-yyyy.
If no date is given, the default is to copy
files with a modification date before today.
(at least 1 day before)
3. Boot.ini on target drive- the second entry is "USB Repair Microsoft Windows XP Professional", may be is good idea to add "do NOT use to start", or something similar.
4. Option to delete tempimage.img could be nice after unmounting virtual drive.
What do you guys think?
@jaclaz- I wanted to boot from mapped by Grub4Dos floppy image, containing all boot files. Setup keeps looking for bioinfo.sif in ~BT folder. That means for me it does not recognize the mounted floppy as such, but rather as a hard drive.
Then I saw cdob posted some results trying to achieve the same goal, post #189. I am curious if boot files when he was getting BSOD 7B were in ~BT folder or in root. I couldn't go that far when files are in root. For now I'd rather not play again after reading his results.
@tonich-Thanks, nice to see you around.

I will add to usb_prep.cmd the possibility to use rdummy.sys for Install of Windows XP from USB-IDE Harddisk,
in the way as given by you.
It will take some time, since I like also to test the usb_prep.cmd program with such USB-IDE Harddisk.
I have a 20 GB IDE Harddisk available for testing purposes,
but must first get a suitable USB-IDE HDD case for that.

4. Option to delete tempimage.img could be nice after unmounting virtual drive.
I can make some minor changes to boot.ini, but it is also important that the numbering of options will fit easily and logically in the boot.ini for the MultiBoot Menu as described in my Guide.
The idea to copy in any case all files and folders from source\I386 to ~LS\I386 is a very good idea.
It is simpler, does not take to much space and moreover the USB-stick XP-source is always more complete.
I will also change boot.ini such that "USB Repair......" option is clearly not meant to be used as Start option,
allthough this choice would not be harmfull.
I think that Delete and Renaming of tempimage.img is easier and better done with the Windows Explorer FileManager.
Quite often instead of Delete, one would like to Rename tempimage.img for future use.
And if not Renamed, than the choice to Delete tempimage.img is offered
on next running of the usb_prep.cmd Batch Program.

for preparing the LocalSource for Install of Windows XP from USB-Harddisk using rdummy.sys
as developed by ilko_t see: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...1384&st=421
FOR USB-Harddisk make 1900 MB FAT Partition at beginning of the USB-Harddisk.
Use FAT Format and Set Active OR use PeToUSB to Format such partition.
rdummy.sys makes Fixed USB-Harddisk seen in XP Setup as Removable Device.
XP FAT Format is OK but without Set Active of partition you will get DISK BOOT FAILURE.
USB-Harddisk will get during XP Setup DriveLetter D: and migrate.inf cannot change that.
After First Logon there is only 1 USB-Harddisk partition visible as Removable Drive.
After XP Setup and Reboot for second Logon than
all partitions of USB-Harddisk will become visible as Fixed Local Drives
and the highest partition number of USB-Harddisk will get DriveLetter D:
This reversal and use of DriveLetters might be unwanted and consequently
the use of USB-stick for XP Setup is Preferred, so that this DriveLetter Problem does not occur
HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool 2.0.6 Destroys Partition Table of USB-Harddisk and
cannot be used to Format one single partition of USB-Harddisk.
Using HP Tool makes Data partitions of USB-Harddisk inaccessible !!
So don't use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to Format USB-Harddisk.
The HP Tool is usefull to Format USB-sticks, especially to make a MS-DOS Bootable USB-stick.
Using PeToUSB.exe is SAFE for USB-Harddisk, it can only Format partitions with size less than 2 GB
without destroying the existing partition table, so that Data partitions are still accessible.
Use of usb_prep7.cmd and everything in the Help guides is COMPLETELY at your own risk.
ALL files of cmpnents and i386 folder of XPSOURCE are copied now to $WIN_NT$.~LS LocalSource folder.
XPSOURCE Space Saving Tips see: http://unattended.ms...xp/view/web/57/
You can Safely Remove in advance the following XPSOURCE folders:
WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG - This will free up 37.6 MB
LANG - 99 MB and cmpnents - 22.6 MB ( Needed for Tablet PC only )
undoren.cmd and ren_fold.cmd and Customized presetup.cmd for BTS DriverPacks:
First Limited Drive Range for searching TAGFILE is used
to Prevent Windows No Drive Alert due to Cardreader.
For case of Repair Install from USB-Harddisk with Shifted DriveLetters, than Drive with TAGFILE is not found.
In that case Full DriveRange is used for finding TAGFILE.
On Windows XP Repair Setup we get than: No Drive Alert - Press 4x Continue for Cardreader Drives
I did not observe any problem (BSOD) using F3 to Quit from XP Setup,
direct after Delete and Create of Partitions.
Quit with F3 Enables Rebooting a Second time in TXT Mode of XP Setup,
which is necessary after Repartitioning to give DriveLetters their Correct Value.
The Attachment gives the usb_prep7.zip file. GOOD LUCK !
The usb_prep7.cmd Batch Program was tested for Fresh and Repair Install both from USB-stick and
two different USB-Harddisks using a Laptop and a Desktop computer.
Only in the case of Repair Install of Windows XP from USB-Harddisk there are Windows NO Drive Alerts
to be expected due to Cardreaders, which require 4x mouseclick on Continue Button.

Is it in this case possible to use the flash drive repeatedly to make a hardware independent fresh install on different computers ? Or is it necessary to prepare the USB-stick each time for the next install ?
Can you give some more help on how to use this approach for Install of Windows XP from USB flash drive
and do you have a download link for the specific files that you use.
I would like to try the procedure that you propose.

As far as I saw it, MS prepares WinPE with the setup source you provide. This WinPE could be booted from USB media, CD or whatever. Or did I miss something?
Unfortunately my fresh installation of Microsoft Deployment keeps freezing when building WinPE ISO, so I couldn't dig much.
@wimb I think you are going to need this:
Microsoft Deployment:
It may download the necessary components for you, or get WAIK from here (992.2 MB ), extract image and place WAIK MSI and WinPE.zip in the temporary folder, which will be created when you start download via Microsoft Deployment in \program files....
Quoting file names by memory, installation is in my home PC, if you have troubles I can post exact names and paths.

Microsoft Deployment:
get WAIK from here (992.2 MB),
Thanks for the download link for Microsoft Deployment Toolkit
The Results of my first experience with Microsoft Deployment is given below:
You might also need to install additionally:
Microsoft Management Console 3.0 for Windows XP (KB907265) and .NET 2.0
The WAIK .img file was mounted as .iso using DaemonTools, and then Installed using STARTCD.EXE
Then Microsoft Deployment Toolkit was installed.
After Launching the Deployment Workbench, I followed the Information Center > Getting Started Info
After Update Deployment Point, the folder Media\Content was copied to USB-stick.
The USB-stick was previously formatted with PeToUSB and was given a BOOTMGR type Bootsector using:
Open CMD Window and use bootsect.exe to change the bootsector for use with bootmgr
bootsect.exe /nt60 R:
where R: is your USB-stick drive.
In this way I could boot from USB-stick with Windows PE 2.0
After Auto Partitioning and Format, the $ LocalSource folders are generated on Harddisk.
After Restart you have to boot from Harddisk, otherwise only PE is launched.
So instead of Rebooting Windows PE, I shutdown the computer and removed the stick.
Then start the computer without stick and Install of XP Runs as usual,
except for a STOP Alert for giving Administrator Password, which can easily be avoided.
At Windows Logon the stick was asked to be plugged in again to Finish Install.
Well it worked, but the result was UNWANTED and in a way unexpected.
The XP Install claimed the whole disk of my testcomputer for making a new partition.
This means the Partition Table was gone and my 2 Data partitons were inaccessible
Moreover the disc geometry was quite different from the usual one.
The Drive C Bootsector is now sector 2048 (0x800) instead of normally 63 (0x3F)
In CHS terms sector 2048 corresponds to CHS 0 32 33, which is not a head boundary,
whereas sector 63 corresponds to CHS 0 1 1 and the MBR is at sector 0 = CHS 0 0 1
The result is that Partition Magic and Partition Info give a lot of Error Messages and are useless.
Luckily I had a backup of the original MBR with the correct Partition Table,
and the mirror MFT of the new partition was made well below the beginning of my original second partition.
Restoring the original MBR with TinyHexer and then booting with Ghost for System Restore was applied.
After again Rebooting I was able to access my 2 lost DATA partitions
This method of XP Install from USB-stick takes at least 10-20 minutes extra time
for booting with Windows PE and making the LocalSource folders on Harddisk.
It is worthwhile to mention that the USB-stick can be used repeatedly, there was no change.
Preparing the USB-stick is also taking much more time than with usb_prep7.cmd
Besides Windows PE (2x) takes a lot of extra space requiring about 300 MB.
So be very carefull and test USB-stick made with Microsoft Deployment
only on test computer without important DATA.

When making MultiBoot DVD's with the very handy program Windows XP PowerPacker of Siginet,
I realised that Siginet is using a more sophisticated way to collect the files for the Boot folder.
See also: http://www.siginetso...forum/index.php
Siginet makes the Boot folder by parsing the dosnet.inf file.
Every [FloppyFiles.*] section in dosnet.inf is referring to the files needed in the boot folder.
The d1 is referenced in the [Directories] section, which shows the path of where the file resides.
Since we copy the complete XP Source to the LocalSource folder $WIN_NT$.~LS
and we can make the Boot folder $WIN_NT$.~BT from the Info in the dosnet.inf file,
it would not be necessary to launch winnt32.exe anymore.

which from a given XPSOURCE directory will create the Windows XP Setup Bootfolder $WIN_NT$.~BT
named as XPBT folder in a given destination directory.
The BT_folder.cmd program makes the Bootfolder by parsing the dosnet.inf file.
Every [FloppyFiles.*] section in dosnet.inf is referring to the files needed in the boot folder.
The d1 is referenced in the [Directories] section, which shows the path of where the file resides.
I will integrate BT_folder.cmd program in the usb_prep.cmd program
so that Windows XP Setup Bootfolder can be made without launching winnt32.exe /noreboot ....
A disadvantage and danger of using winnt32.exe is
that it Deletes LocalSource folder $WIN_NT$.~LS in ROOT of ANY Drive
which needs precautions by renaming such existing folders on USB-stick or USB-harddisk.
This is no longer a problem when we use the code of BT_folder, which is also faster.
Before presenting a new version of usb_prep.cmd with integrated BT_folder.cmd and
hopefully some GUI enhancements, I would like to know if BT_folder.cmd is working well
for all versions of Windows XP.
I have tested BT_folder.cmd for Windows XP Professional and it works OK,
but I have no Media Center Edition or Tablet PC and would like to hear about
test results for these or other versions.
The program was designed to take all versions of Windows XP into account.
Synchronize dirs ... Command of Total Commander with the Compare command
and using for Show only Green and Blue Arrows selected,
can be used for comparing XPBT Bootfolder with existing Windows XP Setup $WIN_NT$.~BT Bootfolder.
The differece will only be the migrate.inf and winnt.sif files
which are added afterwards with the usb_prep.cmd program as Custom files.
Edit 27nov7: BT_folder.cmd2.cmd was slightly modified to make it more general.
Edit 29 feb 2008: Updated to BT_folder3.cmd
Removed in some cases possible DOSNET.INF Parsing Error

to make Bootable USB-stick or USB-Harddisk for Install of Windows XP.
Important Changes in usb_prep8.cmd Batch Program:
The code of BT_folder.cmd program for making Windows XP Setup Bootfolder $WIN_NT$.~BT
by Parsing DOSNET.INF was added to the usb_prep8.cmd program,
so that launching of winnt32.exe /noreboot .... can be avoided and is no longer needed.
A Custom winnt.sif file in the usb_prep folder is needed now,
which will be copied by the usb_prep8.cmd program to the $WIN_NT$.~BT Bootfolder.
For UNATTENDED Install make Changes in usb_prep folder:
Change Product Key in winnt.sif and winnt_dp.sif and Change $OEM$ folder to your needs.
Use for Preparing USB-Drive Only winnt.sif file without an [Unattended] Section.
Don't change commands for using BTS DriverPacks.
winnt_dp.sif is used by usb_prep.cmd when using XPSOURCE with DriverPacks Integrated.
It is not needed anymore to Set the Drive Letter for the Virtual TempDrive,
since there is used now an Automatic Preset Value (mostly Drive T: is used).
VBScript was used for making GUI enhancements for the usb_prep8.cmd Batch Program.
When a .vbs script file is executed by cscript.exe from a Command Window,
then the wscript.echo of VBScript is send as output of cscript to that Command Window
instead of giving for the wscript.echo a GUI pop-up.
When a .vbs script is executed by doubleclick then a wscript.echo statement
is giving as you can try just only a GUI pop-up message with the echo of the return value
e.g. displaying the return value of a VBScipt Function.
The return value of the VBScript Function given as output of cscript to the Command Window,
can be evaluated by using the FOR /F command according to
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('CSCRIPT.EXE //NoLogo u_script\FolderSel.vbs') DO SET src_ok=%%A
This mechanism enables the possibility to use GUI enhancements in a CMD Batch Program.
Rob van der Woude gives very valuable information on this subject.
SEE: http://www.robvander...ermessages.html
And a lot of handy Windows Script Host Examples, among which BrFolder.vbs implemented as FolderSel.vbs
MsgBox References:
The Wizard's Apprentice as proposed by jaclaz,
can provide also GUI enhancements in a Batch Program,
but that would require an additional download, since adding the 82 kB of this program
would make the usb_prep.zip file larger than the 200 kB Upload limit of MSFN.
So I decided to use a similar but integrated solution using cscript.exe with VBScript files,
which has the advantage that it requires only a very small amount of extra code in the Batch Program.
The usb_prep8.cmd program is given in the Attachment as usb_prep8.zip file
Edit 4dec7: Small changes in usb_prep8.zip Attachment: mainly MsgBox icons and Help_usb_prep.txt file

Got problem when trying to install... I run TXT mode and it loads up all drivers... at some point at very end of "first" txt mode it says on the bottom bar "Preparing to run Windows...." NOW i have blue screen. No folders on drive C: was created, no folders on USB drive created aswell... I cant see screen when you press Enter and than f8.
Ive seen taht usb_prep8 takes ntldr and other files from C: is it possible that it might be fault o my C: files?
Other thing is that my usb is seen as fixed not removable. So when PEtoUSB loads i need to chage category to fixed.
Got 3 partitions c-ntfs d-fat e-ntfs f-cd g-usbfixed. Should all be same? Should i combine them all to one partition?
Im lost i tried few times. Is there way ti change my usb to removable instead fixed?
Many thanks
Kind regards

A colleague of mine cringes every time he's introduced as a sports journalist. "Please, just call me a journalist," he said the other day. "I don't want anyone to think I'm a sloppy sports reporter. I check my facts."
You see, he wants no association with the fantastical Manti Te'o soap opera.
And after working as a sports journalist myself for nearly 15 years, I feel his pain.
It hasn't been the best year for sportswriters, who've been caught unaware and downright out-hustled on some of the biggest sports stories: The sex abuse case of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky sat untouched for years by sportswriters until it was uncovered by a dogged, young crime reporter, Sara Ganim (who works for CNN now).
Lance Armstrong, one of the biggest names in sports, was able to silence writers around him who whispered throughout his seven consecutive Tour de France wins that he was racing dirty. When he was finally caught by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after the evidence and witnesses grew too loud to deny, he gave his widely watched confession to Oprah Winfrey, who is not exactly a sports insider.
And now, it's Katie Couric to the rescue, delivering the first on-camera interview with Te'o since his fake love story was exposed by the sports blog Deadspin.
Maybe Couric can explain how media giants as savvy as Sports Illustrated and ESPN were conned about the Notre Dame star linebacker's tragic tale of a beautiful girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, who slipped into a coma after a terrible car crash and later died of leukemia on the eve of one of the biggest games of the season. Despite his grief, Te'o helped lead the Fighting Irish to a 20-3 victory over Michigan State.
Sounds like a perfect script for a Hallmark movie, and just as make-believe. It was not true. The girl didn't exist. According to Te'o, he'd been catfished -- tricked by friends who played an online prank against him and made up the girl he met online and fell in love with, though they'd never met in person.
Sports journalists failed here. Failed to do their job, which is not simply to entertain fans and promote the games we love, but to inform, illuminate and deliver factual information.
Call me old-school, but I think journalists owe it to readers and viewers to make certain, to the best of our ability, that the news we deliver is accurate. Doesn't the public trust still matter, or, is our work just all for entertainment these days?

A Calgary woman who failed to stop for two stop signs 30 metres apart on a rural road near Chestermere last year, broadsiding a vehicle and killing the driver on the second infraction, has been fined $1,500.
Provincial court Judge Les Grieve imposed the penalty Tuesday on Summer Rose Darie, 24, after she pleaded guilty to failing to stop at a controlled intersection on June 21.
"It was incorrectly described as an accident. Accidents are unforeseen," Grieve told Darie during sentencing. "A collision while driving and not paying attention is quite foreseeable and it was directly due to your negligence that the collision occurred."
The judge accepted a joint submission by Crown prosecutor Luke Saught and defence lawyer Rick Muenz for the fine and a 60-day driving prohibition.
Grieve said the offending driver initially did not stop her Toyota Corolla as required at a controlled railway crossing while driving northbound on Range Road 284 near Chestermere, southeast of Calgary.
Darie continued and a short distance later went through the stop sign at the intersection of Township Road 240 and struck the westbound Chevrolet truck driven by Brian Van Wezel, 38, a father of two children.
The crash caused Van Wezel's truck to roll over and he was killed. The victim was not wearing a seat belt, said Grieve.
Darie, who also spent two days in hospital, wept through an apology.
"I didn't mean for anything to happen. Sorry does not undo what was done and bring back a loved one," Darie told Jolene Johnstone, the mother of the two children, who was in court , , . "But all I can say is I'm sorry."
The judge said alcohol and speed were not factors in the collision.

Right here. Right now. Commit to accomplishing your goal of becoming a triathlete this year! With events around the Detroit area we've made it more convenient than ever to TRI. We've set your training calendar for you to test fitness and track results. Grab a friend and race side-by-side, no matter what your ability. There's never been a better way to become a triathlete or get in shape for your outdoor races.
All 2013 Indoor Tri events in Michigan have already occurred. Congratulations to the participants!
Stay tuned for additional dates for 2013 or 2014.
How your time is spent:
10 min pool swim
10 min transition
30 min spin bike
5 min transition
20 min treadmill run
Volunteers record your distance in each leg, then assign a score to that distance. All three scores are totaled then ranked. Open to everyone ages 12 and older.
$25 Life Time Members
$30 Non-Life Time Members
Please note, non-members will need to register by visiting the club in person. You may print and complete the Registration Form in advance and bring it with you to the club to expedite the process. Race directors may only receive payment in person at the clubs. Email your race director (listed to the left) with questions.
The Fastest Hour of Your Life!
Become a triathlete in 60 minutes. One hour, then BAM, you're a triathlete. It will happen so fast you won't know what hit you. The Life Time Indoor Triathlon is a fun challenge that appeals to everyone — from seasoned triathletes to first-timers — because you set your own pace. And all the action takes place in one convenient, weatherproof location — your local Life Time club.
Here's how this one-hour race against the clock breaks down:
Performance is measured by distance covered in each of the three legs. The more distance you cover, the higher your score. Transition times are fixed at 10 minutes between the swim and bike and 5 minutes between bike and run. This is to ensure safe and courteous movement through the club.
You will start in waves of 10 people every 20 minutes. Race with your friends, family or colleagues — time to catch up socially and physically!
All participants will receive a Life Time Indoor Tri visor. To participate, you must be 12 years of age or older.

HemorrhoidsHemorrhoids are enlarged, swollen veins in the anus. Hemorrhoids can occur inside the anus (internal hemorrhoids) or outside of the anus (external hemorrhoids). External hemorrhoids are sometimes painful. Internal hemorrhoids are not as painful as external hemorrhoids and can range in size from a slight swelling under the wall of the anus to large, sagging tissue that extends out of the anus. Internal hemorrhoids may cause painless bleeding during a bowel movement. A person may have both internal and external hemorrhoids. One common causes of hemorrhoids is straining during bowel movements. Another common cause is pregnancy. Symptoms of hemorrhoids include bright red blood on toilet paper or stool, itching, pain, or a lump of soft tissue outside of the anus. Rectal bleeding needs to be evaluated by a doctor. Home treatment may be all that is needed to relieve the discomfort of minor hemorrhoids. In some cases, surgery may be needed.

Two more reasons occupy activists don't trust our system:
UN Envoys Criticize Police Crackdowns on the Occupy Wall Street movement:
US Now Ranked 47th in World Press Freedom:
I must correct some of my previous statements. The president did appoint Daley as his chief of staff at the whitehouse. The corrupt Daley family connection to the obama's are thur Michelle Robinson-obama who was an assist to Mayor Daley. I stand corrected. So I understand better about the connect between the Daley family and the Robinson-obama family. The president also worked for the Chicago Law Firm of Miner, Barnhill & Gallard as a civil rights lawyer. The president also work in the Business Sector for two years somewhere? He taught at U of Chicago Law School.
Know matter what there's a connection to the corrupt Daley family on both sides of the obama's.
Cronyism is clear practices of the obama's.
Its clear to me that after reviewing Michelle Robinson-obama Bio that she was a member of the Daley crew. I mean she apart of the most politically corrupt family in this country (The Daley's). Once a member of the Daley's always a member of the Daley's gang. Look at all the positions she had from harvard law school and the salaries she recieved. Involved with Americorp to funnel money. Worked at U of Chicago along with her husband. Involved with an intern when she was a member of sibley & austin's managerment. Check out her families estate holdings.
We as Black people have to think past the obama's. They're a product of the american dream (CORRUPTION) AT ALL LEVELS. We have always had Black gangsters and phoney's. Now we have Ivy Leage sellouts and phoneys from harvard, columbia and princeston. I grew-up in and around the HOOD and being a gangster was for those who couldn't do anything else. My question is why have so many of US cover-up for the phoneys in the whitehouse??? Our great children will pay for this lie. The Black elite and civil rights so-called leaders have sold us OUT. Tavis and West could have done a better job of telling the truth.
Following law school, Michelle worked as an associate in the Chicago branch of the law firm Sidley Austin in the area of marketing and intellectual property. There in 1989, she met her future husband, Barack Obama, a summer intern whom she was assigned as an adviser. "I went to Harvard and he went to Harvard, and the firm thought, 'Oh, we'll hook these two people up,'" Michelle said. "So, you know, there was a little intrigue, but I must say after about a month, Barack…asked me out, and I thought no way. This is completely tacky." Initially, she refused to date Obama, believing that their work relationship would make the romance improper. Eventually she relented, and the couple soon fell in love.
After two years of dating, Barack proposed. "We were at a restaurant having dinner to celebrate the fact that he had finished the bar," Michelle remembers. "Then the waiter came over with the dessert and a tray. And there was the ring. And I was completely shocked." The couple married at Trinity United Church of Christ on October 18, 1992.
High-Profile Work in Chicago
Michelle soon left her job to launch a career in public service, serving as an assistant to Mayor Daley and then as the assistant commissioner of planning and development for the City of Chicago.
In 1993, she became Executive Director for the Chicago office of Public Allies, a non-profit leadership-training program that helped young adults develop skills for future careers in the public sector.
Michelle joined the University of Chicago in 1996 as associate dean of student services, developing the University's first community service program. She then worked for the University of Chicago Hospitals beginning in 2002, as executive director of community relations and external affairs.
In May 2005, she was appointed vice president of community relations and external affairs at the University of Chicago Medical Center, where she continues to work part-time. She also manages the business diversity program and sits on six boards, including the prestigious Chicago Council on Global Affairs and the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools
Richard J. Daley, politician and self-promoter extraordinaire, from his inauspicious youth on Chicago's South Side through his rapid climb to the seat of power as mayor and boss of the Democratic Party machine. A bare-all account of Daley's cardinal sins as well as his milestone achievements, this scathing work by Chicago journalist Mike Royko brings to life the most powerful political figure of his time: his laissez-faire policy toward corruption, his unique brand of public relations, and the widespread influence that earned him the epithet of "king maker." The politician, the machine, the city—Royko reveals all with witty insight and unwavering honesty, in this incredible portrait of the last of the backroom Caesars.

Small Faces (Immediate) (2CD deluxe edition)
CD (Item 609211) Immediate/Snapper (UK), 1966 — Condition: New Copy
The namesake Small Faces album on Immediate – some of the tightest work the great Brit rockers ever recorded! The album's amazing right from the very first note – a perfect bridge between the ongoing mod energy of the London scene, and the psychedelic sounds in years to come – served up with a tight, compact, focused approach that still blows away most of the many groups it helped inspire! The group would dive into a heady psychedelic groove about a year later with incredible success on Ogden's Nut Gone Flake – but here, the group is still riding on the walloping soul and R&B influences on this record – driving and tuneful, with some hints at the strange sounds to come in the freewheeling organ and occasional odd instrumentation. Titles include "(Tell Me) Have You Ever Seen Me", "Something I Want To Tell You", "Feeling Lonely", "Happy Boys Happy", "Things Are Going To Get Better", "Become Like You", "All Our Yesterdays", "Show Me The Way", and "Eddie's Dreaming". 2CD version features a heavy book-style cover, a large booklet of notes – and the full album in both stereo and mono, plus mono and stereo bonus tracks that include "Here Come The Nice", "Itchycoo Park", "I'm Only Dreaming", "Tin Soldier", "I Feel Much better", and "Don't Burst My Bubble" – plus some rare alternate versions too. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |
