Restore XLS Files
Restore XLS files – How? How to restore XLS (Microsoft Office Excel Spreadsheet) files? How can I restore XLS files? How do I restore lost, deleted, corrupt or erased XLS / XLSX documents?
Restore XLS files (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet file) with the XLS restoration software, Recommended by Microsoft(R) corporation.
To restore XLS files, download and run XLS restoration program, recommended by Microsoft(R) corporation. All lost XLS spreadsheet documents will be restored and saved in any folder of your computer.
XLS file Restoration
File extension XLS is most commonly associated with Microsoft Excel, a popular spreadsheet application, and are used to store workbooks which can contain one or more individual spreadsheets. XLS files are a proprietary format called Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF), and is the default extension used by Microsoft Excel up until Office.
XLS files contain data in spreadsheet format which is organised in rows and columns. Each individual data item is stored in a cell, which can be uniquely referenced using the column letter and row number. XLS files are used primarily to store numerical data, and can also contain formulas, charts and graphs, which alter dynamically to reflect the source data. XLS files also support embedded objects from other applications as well as text formatting and images to enhance the presentation of data stored in spreadsheets. XLS files are widely used in any application that involves the storing and manipulation of numerical data, such as budgeting, accountancy and scientific research.
Care should be taken when opening XLS files, particularly from unknown sources, as they may contain a potential security risk in the form of macros. Macros are scripts which are either written in a programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), or recorded as a series of instructions based on user keyboard and mouse input. Though macros are intended to reduce the need to perform repetitive tasks, they can also be written for malicious or destructive purposes.
A similar albeit less popular format similar to XLS is Corel Quattro Pro's File extension QPW file format, which is also used to store multiple spreadsheets in a workbook. QPW files are a proprietary format which can only be opened using Corel Quattro Pro, part of the Corel WordPerfect Office suite, though data can be exported to other more widely supported formats such as XLS or CSV for use in other applications.
XLS files are native to Microsoft Excel, though can also be opened using other spreadsheet applications such as OpenOffice.org Calc or Corel Quattro Pro. Alternatively, the data contained within an XLS file can be viewed and printed using Excel Viewer, though this will not allow editing. As of Microsoft Office, a new XML-based format using the extension File extension XLSX was introduced as the native Excel format, though XLS files are still fully supported.
To restore XLS files, download and run automatic XLS data restoration program, recommended by Microsoft(R) corporation. All lost Excel and Office files will be restored and saved in the safe place.

Travel tips for people with physical disabilities
Having a disability doesn't have to hold you back
Why these special stories on mobility? According the U.S. Census, nearly 10 million people age 18 to 64 have an ambulatory difficulty that could affect their ability to drive. So we put modified Toyota vans and the factory-built wheelchair-accessible MV-1 to the test, and explore the needs of and programs available for veterans. Come along for the drive.
You don't have to downsize your travel expectations because of a physical disability. Mobility vehicles are available to rent nationwide. Sam Cook, president of the National Mobility Equipment Dealer's Association board of directors, gave the following tips for preparing to rent a mobility vehicle:
-- Verify the dimensions of the access opening to make sure your wheelchair will fit.
-- Check that the rental has the appropriate weight capacity.
-- Request a van with a wheelchair seating position with which you are comfortable.
"Some vans allow for the wheelchair to be secured up front; some allow room only in the center of the vehicle," Cook said. "Also make sure they have what you need and all the necessary equipment required to secure the wheelchair properly."
-- Plan ahead. Availability is limited, and to secure a vehicle that meets your needs in the geographic area of your choosing, you should reserve a vehicle six months to eight months in advance.
-- Mobility vehicles are more expensive than your typical rental-fleet vehicle and, as such, renting them will cost slightly more. Cook says you should expect to pay as much for a mobility vehicle as you would to rent a high-end luxury sedan.
Cook owns two Wheelchair Getaways franchises and suggested Accessible Vans of America as another source for renting wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Many mobility equipment dealers will also offer rentals. Check www.nmeda.com to find a certified mobility dealer near you or near your travel destination.

At 2:00 pm Saturday afternoon, June 14, 2008, on a beautiful sunny Nebraska day, the Friend Lions Club released more than 600 balloons in honor and memory of all veterans. Those attending the activities participated in the large release from the football field in Friend.
This project began at the suggestion of Jack Woosley, who wanted to send up balloons on Flag Day to commemorate soldier serving, the especially the soldiers currently serving in Iraq and to acknowledge the greatest gift of all == their life for yours and my freedom.
The project evolved to include all veterans, those currently serving around the world, those who have served and returned home, those who never made it home, and those who are now deceased.
The Friend Lions Club offered balloons for $1 each in colors of red, white, blue and yellow.
We want to thank all who purchased balloons, encourage those who might find these balloons to let us know where they have landed, and to encourage everyone to let the soldiers in their family know that we care about them.
The Friend American Legion Post provided a color guard, Paul Ramp, Friend High School music instructor brought patriotic music, Darin Thompson, Commander of the Friend American Legion, and Bob Mead, retired US Army, and WWII Prisoner of War, each gave a short talk.

Local Politicos Weigh in: Who Won Obama-Romney Second Debate?
Here's how Massachusetts Republican and Democrat activists and officials responded to last night's presidential debate.
The attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that resulted in the death of four Americans became a flashpoint in Tuesday night's second debate between President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney: that's the major finding of the Red and Blue Commonwealth flash polls sent out to local politicos immediately after the debate ended last night. Obama and Romney faced off on Oct. 16 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York in a town hall format, with CNN's Candy Crowley moderating a debate that covered both domestic and foreign policy. Of the 17 local influential Democrats who took the poll after the debate ended, 13 of them (76.5 percent) voted that Obama won by a large margin and four (23.5 percent) voted that the president won by a …

(CBS/AP) A jury found Jerry Sandusky guilty Friday in his child sex abuse trial, believing prosecutors' portrayal of him as a serial molester who groomed his victims and not finding reasonable doubt in his defense lawyer's assertions that the former Penn State assistant football coach was being victimized by an overzealous prosecution and greedy accusers.
It was a swift and emphatic end to a case that shattered Penn State University's Happy Valley image and brought down Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno.
Penn State releases statement in reaction to Sandusky guilty verdict
Sandusky showed little emotion as the verdict was read. The judge ordered him to be taken to the county jail to await sentencing in about three months.
Sandusky, a 68-year-old retired defensive coach who was once Paterno's heir apparent, was found guilty of 45 of 48 counts. He faces the strong possibility of life in prison.
In court, Sandusky half-waved toward family as the sheriff led him away. Outside, he calmly walked to a sheriff's car with his hands cuffed in front of him.
As he was placed in the car, someone yelled at him to "rot in hell." Others hurled insults and he shook his head no in response.
Almost immediately after the judge adjourned, loud cheers could be heard from a crowd of more than 200 people gathered outside the courthouse as word quickly spread that Sandusky had been convicted. The group included victim advocates and local residents with their children. Many held up their smartphones to take pictures as people filtered out of the building.
Complete coverage of the Penn State scandal
Jurors were exposed to seven days testimony, some of it graphically describing abuse suffered at the hands of Sandusky, including touching in showers, fondling and in some cases forced oral or anal sex.
Watch CBS News' Armen Keteyian's report from the courtroom in Pennsylvania following the Sandusky verdict:
Eight young men testified that they were abused by the former Penn State assistant football coach, and jurors also heard about two other alleged victims through other witnesses, including another former coach.
Sandusky did not take the stand in his own defense.
Sandusky attorney Joe Amendola: "We had an uphill battle"
Penn. AG praises Sandusky victims' courage
He had repeatedly denied the allegations, and his defense suggested that his accusers had a financial motive to make up stories, years after the fact. His attorney also painted Sandusky as the victim of overzealous police investigators who coached the alleged victims into giving accusatory statements.
But jurors believed the testimony that, in the words of lead prosecutor Joseph McGettigan III, Sandusky was a "predatory pedophile."
One accuser testified that Sandusky molested him in the locker-room showers and in hotels while trying to ensure his silence with gifts and trips to bowl games. He also said Sandusky had sent him "creepy love letters."
Another spoke of forced oral sex and instances of rape in the basement of Sandusky's home, including abuse that left him bleeding. He said he once tried to scream for help, knowing that Sandusky's wife was upstairs, but figured the basement must be soundproof.
Another, a foster child, said Sandusky warned that he would never see his family again if he ever told anyone what happened.
And just hours after the case went to jurors, lawyers for one of Sandusky's six adopted children, Matt, said he had told authorities that his father abused him.
Matt Sandusky had been prepared to testify on behalf of prosecutors, the statement said. The lawyers said they arranged for Matt Sandusky to meet with law enforcement officials but did not explain why he didn't testify.
"This has been an extremely painful experience for Matt and he has asked us to convey his request that the media respect his privacy," the statement said. It didn't go into details about his allegations.
Defense witnesses, including Jerry Sandusky's wife, Dottie, described his philanthropic work with children over the years, and many spoke in positive terms about his reputation in the community. Prosecutors had portrayed those efforts as an effective means by which Sandusky could camouflage his molestation as he targeted boys who were the same age as participants in The Second Mile, a charity he founded in the 1970s for at-risk youth.
Sandusky's arrest in November led the Penn State trustees to fire Paterno as head coach, saying he exhibited a lack of leadership after fielding a report from then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary. The scandal also led to the ouster of university president Graham Spanier, and criminal charges against two university administrators for failing to properly report suspected child abuse and perjury.
The two administrators, athletic director Tim Curley and now-retired vice president Gary Schultz, are fighting the allegations and await trial.
Sandusky had initially faced 52 counts of sex abuse. The judge dropped four counts during the trial, saying two were unproven, one was brought under a statute that didn't apply and another was duplicative.
The accuser known in court papers as Victim 6 broke down in tears upon hearing the verdicts, and a prosecutor embraced him and said, "Did I ever lie to you?"The man, now 25, testified that Sandusky called himself the "tickle monster" in a shower assault. He declined to comment to a reporter afterward, but his mother said: "Nobody wins. We've all lost."

- It's getting a little ridiculous that we are having trials for the Catholic Church, College Sports Teams, and the Military to get justice for 10's of thousands of victims of these respected institutions.
When will the tide turn so that when women and children are hurt they are instantly believed and protected? I'm so glad the rapes of the women in the Military by their Drill Instructors and Senior Officers is finally being put out there for examination instead of covered up. - reply

- What a surprise! All of the complaints + two eyewitness accounts + Sandusky's interview with Bob Costas virtually admitting all of the prosecution's claims tied in with an almost airtight presentation by the prosecution sealed Sandusky's fate. His attorney should be disbarred because of his abject defense and his advice to Sandusky. He will probably make an appeal based on an incompetent defense, which it was, but I do not think it will be upheld. At least, on behalf of Sandusky's victims; I hope not.

- "brought down Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno"
Whoever wrote this article should stop with the Joe Paterno crap. Sandusky had been gone from the University for 10 years when Paterno first heard anything of it, and he reported it to U officials. He was not a first person witness. THERE IS NO REASON to taint Joe Paterno with what this monster has done, IMO, and I resent the implications in this article.
And I'm not related to Paterno, and I'm not a football fan: but I've been following this case... so if even I know better, then this journalist did a very poor job on this report IMO. - reply

- This is the EXACT type of man SORNA was developed for.
This is the EXACT type of man that the public identifies as a sex offender.
This is the EXACT type of man for whom every restriction is designed .
This is the EXACT type of man for whom all of the reporting and monitoring is designed.
This is the EXACT type of man that all of the SORNA supporters use to push these crazy laws.
YET, even though he is the poster child, and 'the proof that SORNA is necessary'...........
this man will NEVER spend one day subject to SORNA. He will spend life in prison and will never, not one time, have to register or abide by any of the conditions.
Yet every decent person on the registry will be given punishment because people do not believe he can ever be punished adequately for his crimes, so the punishment will spill over, and 700,000 registrants and their families will have to carry the brunt of his punishment. - reply

- After reading weeks of news reporting, it appears that there is a long list of people and entities who may have had some knowledge of Sandusky's love of young boys. The "knowledge" may not have been complete and maybe that is why the person did not take it further to report it. Only when all the knowledge is combined, do we see more clearly what is going on.
I read where a pedophile "tests" how comfortable a child is with touch such as Sandusky placing his hand on a boy's leg. It reminded me of an instructor who taught driver's ed while I was in high school. We all had "heard" to be careful of him so on my first drive with him, he placed his hand at the bottom of the steering wheel right where it meets your legs. How in the world could he help control the car from that angle? Did I ever say anything to anyone? No. Was it just the way he taught? Was I interpreting his manner incorrectly? What I did do was move his hand. I think he did it a couple of times more and I told him it was not comfortable for me. Only then did he stop. This was 35 years ago. There are small steps toward completion of the grooming process and most likely, most of us had no idea what was going on. - reply

At his age, I think it's most likely that he'd end up BEING molested by younger, stronger inmates.
That would be sweet justice BUT he will be ok 'cause he will be in protective custody now until he dies. - reply

Hello Key Largo!
Trip Start
Mar 26, 2012
Trip End
Mar 29, 2012
Andre enjoyed playing in the sand. He liked the texture of the sand and rocks and of course tried to put it in his mouth. I had fun searching for shells (coquillages de Key Largo) with Mom and Dad. We wanted to go on the Glass bottom boat tour but it was 2.5 hours and it would have been too long for Andre. Bummer.
Next, we checked into our hotel, the Sunset Cove Beach Resort. Our cottage opened out to the beach where we would be able to watch the sunset from the docks in the evening. We cooked lunch and took a long afternoon nap.
We went back to the park and did some "hiking" on a couple of trails and played on another beach. We chose the Mangrove Trail in particular because it brought back some scary memories for Mom of her trip to Martinique. This one was much more enjoyable.
We went to a souvenir shop and bought some cheesy souvenir stuff and then went back to the hotel to watch the sunset. We missed it! So, we had dinner and then relaxed in the hammocks before turning in for the night.

Photoset reblogged from bring me back to the start with 18,235 notes
To celebrate 1000+ followers, I'm hosting a giveaway!Thank you all so much for following me. I'm really not sure why you do, but to thank you for putting up with stupid, infrequent art and text posts about various places I've fallen asleep, here is a small giveaway. I'd like to apologise to my British followers, who must've had enough bunting and union jack merch to last them until their grave, but I'm unimaginative.
The main item in this giveaway is tiny (Approximately 2.5cm in height, in fact) but its not the size that matters, it's the contents.
I have the privilege of living in London, and having Baker Street 40 minutes away from my own home, but I know there are thousands of Sherlockians out there who may never see 221b. So I took a trip to 221b, armed with a tiny vial and no shame, and filled it with dirt directly from Sherlock's home. From one of his potted plants, in fact.
The idea may be dumb and sentimental (I'm sure Sherlock is mocking me right now) but I thought it'd be nice to have a piece, albeit small, of Baker Street to hold close to your heart, however many tens, hundreds or thousands of miles separate you from 221b.
Because a tiny vial is hardly enough!
- Sweets! A large Cadbury's chocolate bar and a Curly Wurly.
- Your very own Jawn- a WWF hedgehog plush toy (my cat took a liking to him, so I've saved him and tried my best to de-fur him; sorry if he has the traces of Dave's affection on him!!)
- A smiley beanie ball; brilliant for throwing at walls when boredom ensues. Also saves on extra rent due to bullet holes. (my cat also liked this.. I've de-furred it too)
- A 221b keychain (purchased at the Sherlock Holmes museum)
- A chocolate medal, awarded for assistance to detective Sherlock Holmes (also purchased at the museum.)
- Union Jack tissues
- A medium Union Jack flag
- A cute double-decker bus necklace
- Wendy and friends- mustache paper clips
- An 'I ♥ London' sticker and a 'Baker Street' road-sign sticker
- I was also thinking I might draw something, but I'm not sure anyone would want anything handrawn by a mediocre artist. I'd be willing to throw in some sketches though, if the winner wanted! [examples here]
- It is not necessary to follow me, but I'd be honoured if you chose to anyway! I may alter the giveaway (add more, tweak the end date, ect.) so make sure you have a way of finding out!
- Likes and reblogs count, but i'm going to have to limit it to 3 reblogs per day, purely to avoid dash take-overs.
- Your blog must be active. I will be checking back through the archive to see if it's not been created to boost your chances.
- I'll need to send it, so obviously I'll be requiring an address. Also, I can't say how long it'll take to get the funds to ship it, especially if the winner resides outside of Europe. Bear with me!
This giveaway will be active until 15th of July (favourite number orz), and end at 9pm GMT (4pm EST).
The winner will be picked at random, on one of those number thingys, so it's completely fair. Good Luck, and thanks once again!

Top of the morning: TV and sports
TV ratings are up for nearly every sports. NBA increase, NASCAR jumping back up, Golf Channel doing well. I fully expect to read that Wimbledon will be up and the Tour de France.
The NHL, thought to have made a bad choice going to Versus five years ago, just signed a 10-year deal worth $1 billion to remain there and with NBC.

Top of the morning: Flossie back
The Akron school board last night opted to overrule schools superintendent David James and chose to keep Tim Flossie in place at Firestone High School as football coach.
This situation is just another case of the odd way public schools work.

Top of the morning: No treat in San Francisco
One word describes the difference between the Indians and the Tigers: Ace
Justin Verlander gives the Tigers something the Indians don't have. To be fair, most teams in baseball don't have a Verlander.

Top of the morning: Cavs on right path
Jason Lloyd has chronicled the Cavaliers for more than a year for Ohio.com and the Beacon Journal, and for you, our readers. I think with that knowledge he has gained his column following the draft for Saturday, puts a good ending on a long year for the Cavs.
GM Chris Grant obviously has a plan and is sticking to it. The draft was weak so he went for strong "humans." An odd choice of words by Grant but we can get the point.

Jason Donald recalls perfectly wrong call

Chalk this one up to a gift from God. This morning Brenda and I were swapping some pass-along plants – I gave her a spade of my maroon and white iris and she gave me some ginger.
While we were wandering about my garden, she spied a purple Clematis climbing up the obelisk on my front yard. The obelisk, a gift from Buck Swain, has been there five or six years, naked as a jaybird and I guess I never would have gotten around to planting anything to climb on it.

Here's the before photo of the dresser. It really wasn't bad the way it was. Originally I was going to bring it to the swap, just like it is, but then at the last minute I panicked. What if it's not Swanky enough?!! Yikes! And out came the paint and the brush and there was no stopping me then.
I added a carved furniture applique and some glass knobs. And then Mod Podged the drawers, with my new bottle of acid free "Paper Mod Podge" (Good Stuff!), and some old sheet music. I guess it was Swanky enough, because it was the first item picked at the Swap! Yay!

America's Great State Payroll Giveaway
A state-employed psychiatrist in California made $822,000 by clocking in 17 hours every day last year, including Sundays and holidays. An employee cashed out with $609,000 for unused vacation when she retired, claiming she never took vacations in a 30-year career. A highway patrol officer collected $484,000 in salary, pension and leave payments. The chief money manager at a Texas pension fund got $1 million in salary and bonuses while posting investment returns that trailed those of peers who earned a quarter as much. Bloomberg News used freedom-of-information laws to obtain 1.4 million payroll records from the 12 largest states and show how taxpayers funded these out-of-control expenses and more, while at the same time states cut funding for universities, public safety, health care, schools and services aimed at the neediest residents.
Counting Kids Out
"Counting Kids Out" exposed years of systemic cheating in Columbus City Schools, Ohio's largest school district. The rolling investigation has uncovered widespread fraud that likely resulted in higher-than-deserved report-card grades; inflated graduation rates; and bonuses for school workers who did not actually deserve them.

Newtown School Massacre
A gunman killed 20 first graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The Courant deployed its most seasoned and well-connected reporters after the tragic killing with a goal of providing accurate and detailed information in the hours and days after the incident.

For-Profit-College Business Model Breeds Exploitative Marketing Tactics
In the first radio piece: Interviews with former recruiters, faculty, administrators and students of a small group of for-profit colleges in Minnesota paint a picture of schools that are exploiting unsophisticated students for their financial-aid money. Analysis points to a high-enrollment, high-dropout business model that earns the company millions but provides questionable return on taxpayer investment. In the second radio piece: Political differences at the federal level make it unclear how much the government will regulate for-profit colleges. At the Minnesota state level, the leading official for higher-ed says his agency doesn't have the resources to go after problem colleges – and isn't sure whether beefing up enforcement would be the best use of higher-education funding.
Tags: Non-profit colleges; financial aid; business models; for-profit colleges
Locked Away
"Locked Away" exposed a troubling fact: Some Ohio children with disabilities are isolated from their peers inside the so-called seclusion rooms – small cells, closets or old offices – as punishment when they misbehave or don't follow teachers' directions. But the state has no idea how often vulnerable children are sent to the rooms, nor could state officials say which schools used seclusion for their disabled students. Until reporters began work on "Locked Away," no one had ever asked. The project, a joint effort by The Columbus Dispatch and StateImpact Ohio, has led to a statewide policy and rules to keep schools from misusing seclusion rooms.

CHE: Scientists Shilling for Beef Industry
Agriculture school scientists are singing the praises of drugs that supersize beef cattle-- even though the resulting meat is tough and tasteless. The drugs' effects on animal health, human health, and the environment are even less appetizing. Guess who is sponsoring their research.

KSHB: Questionable Contracts
A 41 Action News investigation scrutinized the bidding process for a $32 million energy project with Kansas City Public Schools. The investigation revealed that a businessman who acted an unpaid adviser early in the process eventually founded his own company and won the lucrative contract. The reporting lead to a resignation by a high-ranking district leader and a canceled contract. The ongoing investigation later examined other contracts and discovered a district facilities manager had helped award millions of dollars of work to a company with whom he had a personal relationship. That part of the investigation showed the district did not have a conflict of interest policy in place for district employees.

Wired for Waste
A Charleston Gazette investigation found the state of West Virginia used $24 million in federal stimulus funds to buy oversized routers that weren't needed. The high-end routers were designed to serve research universities, corporations and major medical centers, but the state installed the pricey devices primarily in small schools and libraries. The routers cost $22,600 each. The newspaper discovered that a high-ranking state technology office administrator warned that the routers were "grossly oversized," but the state's homeland security director and commerce secretary ignored the warning and authorized the purchase.
Tags: Federal funds; routers
Connecticut Superintendents
Viktoria Sundqvist, investigations editor at The Middletown Press, submitted FOI requests for all school superintendent contracts in Connecticut and gathered these contracts into a searchable database. The contracts were analyzed and salaries, mileage, vacation days and other perks were analyzed and made available to the public, in addition to links to the contracts.
Tags: Schools; school superintendents; salaries; public records
Catch and Release
California, using the term "realignment", chose to lessen the overcrowded prison population by paroling what corrections officials said were the least violent offenders on parole. Yet parole officers told KCRA that even sex offenders were now breaking the law - living with kids, near schools, even cutting off their GPS anklets - and facing no time in prison. Our investigation reviewed more than 8,000 parolees and their re-offenses over the last year. We also used internal sources to find that the state was preparing to review nearly ten thousand absconders in order to wipe them off the prison books.

Because every week should start off with something beautiful, something blue, and something to inspire and be coveted by you… xx
*Boys, please hang around for this one! I promise, it's more than just a girly shoe post!
It is my absolute honor to lead y'all to a super fun fashion-image blog I recently discovered. Named MTV fashion and showcasing pieces of absolutely impeccable, yet still trendy, taste; I was thrilled to find it while browsing for something to distract me from my way-over-reactive nerves yesterday.
Now, if you thought that the above-mentioned shoes were something special, you're in for even more of a treat…
Imagine my surprise when, while navigating amongst a sea of chic, I discovered a teeny, tiny blurb explaining the blog to be run by a fellow CRPS/RSD warrior named, Alicia. Having been born in Paris, but now hailing from New Zealand, Alicia uses the whimsy of fashion as an escape from the fact that, ironically, the disease has taken away her ability to walk at the far too early age of only 15 years old.
She's beautiful, smart, confident, and has gorgeous taste. Life is cruel, but we are kind. As Spoonies, let's rally around this lovely lady (whose other blog - a diary of her life with CRPS/RSD may be found here) and show her all the love that we can. x
Loads of love to you all & be well!
Danielle xx
Ps: Although this was not the case with Alicia, should there be another CRPS/RSD warrior/blogger that you think needs featuring, write to me and let me know why! I love hearing about experimental treatments, books, etc. also!
I'm available at: firstname.lastname@example.com or on twitter at: theproject3x5. Don't forget that I always love hearing from you :) xx

It's one of those bad, bad pain days today.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Thinking about it though, it's so wonderful how tomorrow is another day, isn't it?
It may always hurt, but (fingers crossed), at least tomorrow it may hurt just that little bit less. Enough to get us through and allow us to deal with things just that much easier. :) xx

Happy Feet in Chicago!
I feel as though Chicago is slowly & currently taking the place of home, what with the amount of time spent here for medical treatments and what not.
However, you know what? Looking back on what Chicago has managed to do to my health - that's kind of somewhat alright with me.
I mean…
Do we see that I'm wearing normal sandals? Or rather, sandals with a little heel, no doubt!
Gone is the era of the public wearing of my sad looking black bedroom slipper things with every single outfit, no matter how bright, how sequined, nor how ladened with tropical flowers (oh yeaaaa, I'm that girl).
Sadly, it didn't seem to matter to the world that they were oh-so-expensive & UGG's, everyone just seemed to find them oh-so-overpriced & UGG-LY - which was devastating seeing as longtime readers know my adoration, adulation, & admiration of beautiful footwear.
And what about the color of my feet in this picture? Yes ok, I'll give you the fact that there's a slight difference in color (if you don't know what I'm talking about click here or here for a greater understanding of CRPS/RSD symptoms), but hardly so when compared to this! Or how about this.
I love you Chicago!
Until my next craving of sun, sand, & sea at least. ;) xx

"Whatever Happens, Happens…"
Lauren (you met her yesterday) and I just before entering the hospital yesterday to find out my not such great news. So close we almost look like the same person, huh?
I was in an extreme amount of pain the moment that the above photo was taken, but you know what - here's how I choose to look at it (Hint: it really helps!): My Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (CRPS/RSD) may be hurtful, but my friendships bring me joy, hope, love, faith, and strength. A wicked combination that nothing - no disease, chronic illness, sickness, pain, etc. - nothing, is stronger than.
Living in and out of hospitals, being cut into every other month (with no cure to be found) - there is at times so little that brings us laughter, so little that brings us hope, and, even in the best of us, there may be at times a fading or flickering faith that things might not get any better. Chronic illnesses, ugh. I had no idea before I got one, but boy do they take it out of you.
If there's one thing I've learned though it would be this - chronic illnesses put stuff back in to you as well. And it's damn good stuff too!
Living in and out of hospitals, being cut into every other month (with 'seemingly' no cure to be found) there's so little time for drama that your friendships just become true. There's so little extra strength for pettiness that your experiences just become pure. When dealing with hope, let's hope it has nothing to do with worrying that some minor inconsequential action of yours has lead to the petty argument between your flatmates.
And as for love & joy… well I think there's always enough of those to go around - chronically ill or not. :)
Be well,
Danielle. xx

Everything Windows Driver Development

Got a crash dump? Analyze it instantly online (and for free) using OSR's Instant Online Crash Dump Analyzer. Accepts mini-dumps and kernel summary dumps... you can even zip and upload PDBs. Check it out!
When you learn about WdfSend, you typically learn that there are three different ways that you can send a Request to an I/O Target. It makes a nice story to describe these three options as equally viable for a driver writer. Unfortunately, in the majority of cases the only practical option is to send a Request asynchronously and specify a Completion Routine Event Processing Callback. This quick article describes why this is the case.
Breakpoints are great, but at some point you have to resume from them. What if you want to freeze a thread in place while allowing other threads to continue executing?
A former student provided a crash dump for some analysis, here's what I found...

Sometimes it's necessary as a developer to break the rules. Even good developers do it. Sometimes, to do something cool, you just have to do it. But where do you draw the line? Let's explore that question a bit.

It's also a love story, of sorts, the narrative of Gatsby's quixotic passion for Daisy Buchanan. The pair meet five years before the novel begins, when Daisy is a legendary young Louisville beauty and Gatsby an impoverished officer. They fall in love, but while Gatsby serves overseas, Daisy marries the brutal, bullying but extremely rich Tom Buchanan. After the war, Gatsby devotes himself blindly to the pursuit of wealth by whatever means--and to the pursuit of Daisy, which amounts to the same thing. "Her voice is full of money," Gatsby says admiringly, in one of the novel's more famous descriptions. His millions made, Gatsby buys a mansion across Long Island Sound from Daisy's patrician East Egg address, throws lavish parties and waits for her to appear. When s he does, events unfold with all the tragic inevitability of a Greek drama, with detached, cynical neighbour Nick Carraway acting as chorus throughout. Spare, elegantly plotted and written in crystalline prose, The Great Gatsby is as perfectly satisfying as the best kind of poem.

Obeying God Can Mean Loneliness
Tonight, after Bible study, I was hanging with the guys -- lately I've been the only female to show up at Bible studies. They started to look things up online, looking for laughs. I was watching the funny videos and other content with them until something "not fitting for God's holy people" came up. Then I realized that we didn't know what we could come across, so I tried to suggest that we do something else. When that didn't work, I came out and said that it wasn't right to keep looking. When no one listened, I left, angry. Is this righteous anger?
I'm beginning to realize that when you are committed to obeying God no matter what, sometimes you end up lonely when none of your other Christian friends are obedient in the same way.
Sure, there are "personal convictions," and we shouldn't try to push them on others, but I'm not going to stay completely silent, either. I felt like I should say something tonight, so I did. We are called to be holy and to saturate our minds with the word of God, to think on noble, true, pure, and right things -- so how is that going to happen in our minds and our hearts when ungodly things are competing with them because we allow ourselves to see/hear them?
I was having a great time with my friends, but I realized that I might not be able to hang with them very often anymore if they continue to do, say, watch and listen to inappropriate things.
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, for these things are not proper for God's holy people." -Ephesians 5:2 (emphasis mine)
I could really use some words of comfort and advice right now, because I hate confrontation, and I feel all shaky even as I write this. I just know that sometimes I'll have to push through that fear if I'm going to ever do anything honorable for God.
When have you had to, despite what your friends might say, take the moral high ground? Where is the line of appropriateness when it comes to watching funny videos on the internet? What encouragement can you give those who have to make tough decisions about how they spend their time among friends?

Only a tiny portion of the haul from the Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, a galleon that sank off Portugal's Atlantic coast near the straits of Gibraltar in 1804, was shown to the media: 12 individual silver coins, a block of encrusted silver coins stuck together after centuries underwater, two gold tobacco boxes and a bronze pulley.
Authorities who have been inventorying the treasure since it was flown from Florida to Spain in February said it will be transferred later this year from
Though previous estimates have put the value of the treasure at $500 million, Spanish officials said they weren't trying to determine an amount because the haul is part of the nation's cultural heritage and can never be sold under Spanish law.
"It's invaluable," said Elisa de Cabo, the Culture Ministry's deputy director of national heritage. "How would you put a price on the Mona Lisa?"
Spain took possession of the treasure after courts rejected arguments that Florida-based Odyssey Marine Exploration was
Officials said Friday that the weight of the treasure was not the 17 tons reported during the legal fight because that included a ton of sea water used to help preserve many of the silver coins in storage containers.
The inventory counted 574,553 silver coins and 212 gold coins.
Odyssey lost every round in federal courts as the Spanish government painted the company as modern-day pirates. The company has said in earnings statements that it has spent $2.6 million salvaging, transporting, storing and conserving the treasure.
The metals were mined and the coins minted in the Andes, from places that are now in Bolivia, Chile and
Spain overcame a last-minute effort by the Peruvian government to block the transfer of the treasure back to Spain. Peru did not gain its independence until 1824, but the country's lawyers argued it was more than a simple colony at the time because it was the local seat of the Spanish crown when the ship sank.
Spain's Queen Sofia promised in a visit to Bolivia several months ago that some of the treasure would be loaned to the country for display in museums.

The art of measuring the quality of life
Quality of life measurements are often included in health economics analyses. However different methods can yield varying results, thereby influencing decisions on whether a treatment is to be implemented in healthcare or not, as shown in a doctoral thesis at Linköping University.

Academic may festival
Research is no quick fix. And when it yields results, it is worth a real festival. Twelve professors, six honorary doctors - of which five are international researchers - and 56 PhD students were honoured at this year's commencement ceremony.

The expression "illegal immigrant" is no longer used at the Associated Press news agency. Per Hansen, migration researcher at the Institute for Research on Migration Ethnicity and Society (REMESO), has long argued against the term.

'No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch'
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher

I want that dog
I know...he needs sound-effects...like a stunt plane diving...*neeeow* Then when the kid falls there needs to be a *bonk* sound.
Sound effects for Walter the farting dog would be awesome!
The battery died on our Walter...he no longer farts.
