Mark the 100mb System REserved partition Active if you have it, otherwise the Win7 partition. Judge by size. If you don't know how to navigate using Diskpart then use free Partition Wizard CD, post back cam snap of drive map and listings.

Boot the Win7 DVD or System Repair Disk to run Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times until Vista or Win7 starts. If you've lost the Dual boot, install EasyBCD to add the missing OS: EasyBCD (free Download at bottom of page - no name or email required) .
If this fails Mark Win7 Partition Active and run the Repairs again. This should start at least Win7, so you can install EasyBCD to add Vista to the boot menu.
Hopefully you correctly installed Win7 originally from booted DVD so it sees itself as C when booted, as it does when correctly installed from boot and not run from another OS.

repair with command line using WINDOWS 10 ISO
hello everybody
i just had the same problem, using a DELL XPS M1330 i changed active partition without much caring about consequences. so i spent lots of hours in search of solution.
problem here is WINDOWS 7 download requires the key.
i didnt write down the key, i didnt have a repair image, nothing you can imagine as a system backup.
so i used free WINDOWS 10 ISO to reach the command line, than use diskpart and change partition back to (reserved 100mb) volume 0 partition.
and thats my story

On the one hand, overcapacity in the domestic market, dead; On the other hand, the international market is fruitful. According to the general administration of customs statistics, this year October 1 – China's exports of steel 73.89 million tons, up 42.2% from a year earlier, a number that has more than 62.34 million tons for all of last year's total exports.
Surging exports at the same time, the policy level as well as steel opened the door of "going out". At just end of the APEC meeting, China put forward Suggestions on building the "area", followed by China and South Korea, china-australia free trade in succession fall. In the future, there are rumors that China will also open to foreign capital iron and steel, oil refining, etc. Lange steel research center director guo-qing wang to the huaxia times reporter said, this will help to digest the steel industry overcapacity.
The international market gradually opening, foreign counterparts "Wolf"… Steel mills of the living environment is undergoing subtle changes, a battle of internationalization has quietly.
A surge in exports
On November 20th, hebei iron and steel group [1.53% of funding research to] tanggang company (hereinafter referred to as the "tangshan") three galvanizing production line of cold rolled galvanized belt workshop, the workers are on processed steel plates for final packaging. Soon, the part of the plate will travel, sold far away in the Middle East, South America and southeast Asia.
Vice general manager in charge of the export of tanggang Li Yidong told our reporter, in the first three quarters of this year, tanggang output reached 3.056 million tons, more than 37.5% year-on-year growth, with annual export volume has been largely unchanged in 2013.
Not only is the tangshan, since this year, the rapid growth of China's steel exports, record highs on exports. Cisa information industry conference in the third quarter forecast, annual steel exports exceed 80 million tons is a foregone conclusion.
Hebei iron and steel group international trade company tangshan branch with the export department minister han zheng said, among the export destination, South America, southeast Asia, two of the fastest growing business, such as southeast Asia countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Burma, infrastructure is relatively backward, steel demand is big, the price also is stable, has become China's steel exports of an emerging market.
Price, zhuo information steel analyst liu xinwei to our reporter said that China's steel is cheaper than Europe and the United States similar products, combined with the iron ore prices this year, making further highlight its price advantage, can cheap $100 – $200 per ton, is quite popular with the international market.
Meanwhile, export prices, in comparison with domestic prices or export prices higher, so the steel mills are also more willing to sell products abroad. Especially like tangshan high value-added products business, Korea to zheng told reporters, according to the tangshan October 1-3.3 million tons of exports, export more than in the domestic sales have sold 200 million yuan.
Increased export has a benefit, is reversed transmission the transformation and upgrading of the structure. Foreign users taller to the requirement of product quality, service system and so on, which in turn will improve enterprise r&d investment, improve service quality, optimize the whole structure.
In Korea to zheng said, at present, exports of tanggang proportion has been close to 30% of total output and profit contribution rate is higher. Next year, tanggang plans to further implement exports of 5 million tons, in his view, "not difficult" to achieve this goal.
Production of "going out"
In addition to sell the products to foreign countries, the iron and steel industry also wants the factory directly open to the outside.
November 13, the state council premier li keqiang attended the 17th china-asean (10 + 1) leaders' meeting, China encourages domestic iron and steel, cement and other advantages such as investment, leasing, lending capacity way transferred to asean countries with infrastructure construction needs, achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
Announced in September this year, hebei iron and steel group in South Africa to build a production capacity of 5 million tons of iron and steel projects, the project is currently the largest whole process of the construction of Chinese overseas investment steel projects. November 18, hebei iron and steel group will hold the world's largest steel trading and comprehensive service provider – Switzerland highly respected international trade holding company 10% stake to 51%.
Shanghai steel coupon / – 2.71% of funding research to xiang-chun xu director of information analysis, said before we import iron ore from South Africa, to domestic production, and then sold, this cycle of the logistics cost is very high. The local production in South Africa, and then through highly respected global traders such sales, can realize nearby digestion.
In the overseas factories, green barriers will meet? Factories overseas guo-qing wang said, in fact, it is not the domestic equipment from the past, but using the latest technology to rebuild a new factory, so can meet the environmental requirements.
We have learned, in hebei province established the hebei iron and steel, cement, glass and other advantage industry overcapacity offshoring work promoting plan, steel, plan put forward by 2017 to achieve the province's transfer outside the steel production capacity of 5 million tons of goals; By 2023, strive to achieve the province transfer outside the steel production capacity of 20 million tons.
"International" change
In the past, China's policy on steel products is "based on domestic supply, develop bilateral and multilateral trade appropriate". In 2010, then the cisa secretary-general shan shanghua said publicly, up to 70% dependence on imported iron ore in China, how to export steel is to export resources export of raw materials, also is equal to increase domestic pollution, at the same time also can cause some unnecessary antidumping, countervailing trade disputes. Therefore, China's attitude on steel exports have been more prudent, steel exports accounted for only 2% of the total output of 2%.
Today, this attitude is quietly changing. On Oct. 13, spokesman of news of the general administration of customs, integrated zheng yuesheng in the import and export situation is introduced in the first three quarters, said in the first three quarters of China's steel exports of 65.43 million tons, increased by 39.3%, exports has become one of the important channels of dissolve of excess capacity.
More important change is the "interconnectivity" put forward by the state, "area", such as planning, liu xinwei thinks, the overseas investment plan is mainly used for infrastructure construction, resource development, etc., for the digestion of the iron and steel industry overcapacity will no doubt there is a big help. However, as bidders for high-speed blocked in Mexico, the implementation of these plans effect remains to be seen.
Recently, China and South Korea fta negotiations. Guo-qing wang thinks, a move that could impact the domestic iron and steel industry. Because South Korea's posco has technical advantages in high-end steel products, competitive than domestic companies. In addition, there are media reports, the national development and reform commission is the foreign investment industrial guidance catalogue revisions for public opinion, to no longer ban on foreign investment in the iron and steel, oil refining and ethylene production overcapacity, which is to let the iron and steel industry cried "Wolf".
Facing the survival environment changes, xiang-chun xu said the industry reshuffle will be inevitable. Iron and steel enterprises how to cope with the new situation? It seems to Li Yidong internationalization will is one of the way. In the past, a lot of world 500 strong enterprises in China is just "500", is piled into all by output, is not the real meaning of multinational companies. To the big teams, its product market, the source of economic efficiency and the international factors in the structure of talent must possess a certain proportion.
Liu xinwei, also said earlier, the attention of the mills is more focused on resolving excess capacity, realize the transformation and upgrading, etc., and less attention to export enterprises. However, since this year focused on exports of steel mills has been more and more.
In fact, the whole, China's steel export potential is still large. Exports only less than 10% of total domestic steel production, and other steel superpower exports accounted for more than is as high as 30%.

Centurion North Downs Way 100
I've really been struggling to even get started on this report. It just feels too big still, and I feel too tired still. Plus, I haven't really decided how I feel about the whole thing yet. I suppose I should just get on with it!
I entered this race as soon as it was announced, back in November last year. I love the North Downs Way trail, and I know lots of the trail really well having run on it before many times in training and in races, and as soon as I saw a new ultra along the trail, I knew I had to do it. It was also a few months after I finished London to Brighton and I was on the look out for a new challenge. I also recall that I was up late one evening, having consumed probably one or two glasses of wine too many when I entered. Indeed, the entry confirmation email I got arrived on Nov 16th 2010 at 11:19pm! This early entry made me the first person to enter the 100, and as a result I was allocated the race number '2' ('1' went to someone who entered the 50 I think).
The option of switching back to the 50 was on my mind for months. It really wasn't until I did the Kent 50 this July that I finally decided to do the 100. Believe it or not, I tend to be a bit cautious about races – I've never not finished a race and I don't like to take on a challenge that I don't think I'll have a good chance of completing. The furthest I'd run in one go before this was 58 miles, and the step up to 100 seemed immense. Still, I felt like I knew what I was doing, and I had generous offers of support from Wendi, Dips and Mark.
Wendi picked up some of my kit on Thursday evening and I got the rest of my stuff ready on Friday. I was up at 4 on Saturday and on my way at around 4:45.. Too early for a McDonalds breakfast unfortunately (my pre-ultra meal of choice), so I had to make do with a microwaved Sainsbury's sausage and egg roll. It was a very poor substitute. Just a twenty minute drive to the start in Farnham (see, so close to home – how could I not do this race?) and I parked up and headed into the school to register.
I joined the queue and saw Nicole sitting off to one side.. I was surprised to see her – she's had a few attempts at 100 and had to pull out of each one with injury. I knew she wanted another bash at it, but didn't realise she was doing this one.. After collecting my number I went over and said Hi to her and Allan and some other familiar faces. I nipped back to the car for my pack and arrived back as the race briefing was in full swing. I don't think I missed anything, but it was great to see James (RD) looking calm. For his first race as RD, he'd certainly given himself a lot to do, and by all appearances he had everything well under control.
One of the things I love about doing these sorts of races is that whilst ultras are getting more and more popular (and there are more and more of them), it's actually quite a small world. After the 5 minute walk to the start of the trail and the start of the race, I found myself chatting to someone doing the 50 ("are you Matt?".. "yes, are you Gemma?") as well as a bunch of others I knew. Some last minute "good luck"s and off we went at 6am.
The first few miles passed pretty quickly – a bit of chat with Allan, a missed turn early on (following the crowd but not going far before being called back), eating up the miles and getting to the first CP at Puttenham (6.6 miles) in around an hour. By now I'd also met Rab (who ran the whole thing in a kilt) and a Serpie called Richard. I think I had a cup of coke at the CP.. can't remember. After Puttenham the trail turns sandy, but apart from a couple of minor bumps is largely flat and runnable. Over the River Wey at Guildford and a gentle climb to the 2nd CP at a little car park at the bottom of St Marthas. This was 13.1 miles, the turnaround point for the marathon which was starting a few hours after us and I'd been averaging 10 minute miles so far. All good. We all walked up the hill to St Marthas church – I used to go and do hill reps there and it's really not something you want to be running up in this sort of event! Down the other side and a bit of chat with another Matt who I knew from the Picnic and who was doing the 50. After the glorious views at Newlands Corner we were going along one of my favourite parts of the trail – a nice runnable straight stretch of woodland path. The weather had been a bit weird, cloudy and rather humid so everyone was sweating buckets, and here there was some really low mist and it felt like we were running through clouds at some points.
Onto the road at Ranmore and past the church and then down the hill alongside the Denbies wine estate. The last time I ran this section it was a rough gravelly track but it had recently been tarmaced – nice. Further down it reverted to gravelly path though.. At the bottom of this long drag is the A24, a busy dual carriageway, and the route takes you along this for a little way, through a subway to get under the road and then back the way you came. Just by a little car park was the Box Hill CP, 23.9 miles. By now I'd been going for just over 4 and a half hours and was over an hour ahead of the rough schedule I'd knocked up a few weeks earlier. I filled up my pack here, had a bit of mars bar and texted Wendi to say I was ahead of schedule – it looked like I was going to get to Reigate Hill way before she was expecting me! I also texted Rena to suggest she got to Reigate with the kids for around 12, rather than 1:30 which is what I had originally suggested. Over the stepping stones and up the steps and horrible flashbacks of the Picnic marathon It was nice not to have to do that 4 times in this race.
Box Hill was getting geared up for the London/Surrey Cycle Classic taking place the next day – the test event for the Olympics. James (RD) had had some difficulties with LOCOG over our presence on Box Hill over the weekend but thankfully managed to get it all resolved. There were loads of metal barriers around though, ready for the event on Sunday. On the other side of Box Hill I caught up with Richard the Serpie again, who was limping. His calf had gone and it didn't look promising for him. From the results it looked like he battled on to Reigate Hill and then pulled out, which sucks. Some of the section between Box Hill and Reigate Hill is pretty hard going – narrow woodland and clay paths, lots of tree routes and lots of niggly, technical bits. It passed uneventfully though and on the approach to Reigate Hill I caught up with Nicole, who must have passed me when I missed that turn early on. We went up Reigate Hill together, lamenting the fact that the course marking took us off the NDW and up some steep steps. The views from the top were cracking though, with the sun now out. I'd been feeling great for the last few miles and the thought of seeing my wife and kids at the nearby CP spurred me on further and I had a great run into the CP at around 32 miles – 6:14 on the clock and almost an hour and a half ahead of schedule. Lovely to see Rena and the kids (although Holly could barely tear herself away from Nintendogs!) and Wendi who got busy topping up my pack and supplying sandwiches. Of course, as soon as the butties were available, my kids got stuck in.. I was told later that they didn't like the ones that Rena bought from the cafe anywhere near as much as the ones Wendi had made for me!
Coming down off Reigate Hill I caught up to Nicole again who'd passed me at the CP and we had a short chat.. she was clearly suffering with her knees already but keeping it together well. At some stage I was running a bit with a chap called Dave who was doing the 50, and we caught a fella called Marcus who was also doing the 100. All three of us cursed our way up the hill to the next CP at Botley Hill, 43 miles. After this, going over a style, a bloke just ahead of me collapsed to the floor, screaming in pain. His calf had completely cramped up – I helped him a bit, trying to help stretch it out, but his calf muscle was pulsating in spasm, like an alien was about to burst out of it or something. It passed, but he decided to lie there on the grass for a while before getting up. I did see him later, coming into the 50 mile CP as I was on my way out, so thankfully he was ok.
On from there was a section which was totally overgrown with nettles just a few weeks ago but had thankfully been cleared (James and Allan had gone out recently all kitted up to do it but it had already been done!) and a few fields with loads of cows and of course the natural byproduct of cows. Poop I mean, not milk, or methane or anything else. The first place 100 miler passed us on his way back and it was ages before we saw the chap in second place – he had a massive lead already. We passed the garden where the yappy dog and the rotweiler live, but the rotty was nowhere to be seen and Marcus and I passed a few miles chatting about previous races and stuff. It was nice to have your company Marcus – cheers mate.
Nearing Knockholt Pound and the 50 mile turnaround, we could easily spot the 50 mile runners as they were winding up for a last minute surge to the finish of their race We got there in 10:46, close to 2 hours ahead of my schedule. I later found out that quite a few 100 mile runners dropped out here – you could see why. There was a full finish area set up for the 50 mile runners whilst the 100 mile runners had a small gazebo and a few chairs Someone kept trying to give me a t-shirt and medal.. I had to tell him at least twice that I was only halfway! Wendi made me a cup of coffee which I immediately managed to kick over, so she graciously made me another (actually I'm sure there was swearing, but whatever). I had a bit of food and put my calf guards on – amazingly I'd not had any calf, achilles or PF issues like the ones that I'd had over the previous few weeks. The first 50 had gone really well – I felt good, not particularly tired but aware that I'd run it much like I'd run a 50 mile race, rather than the first 50 of a 100 mile race. I had a small voice in the back of my mind suggesting that this may come back and haunt me, but I gave it a bit of a glare and it shut up. Dips was all ready to run the first stage or two of the return leg with me so off we went, walking out of the CP and up the road. Just as we left the CP, we saw Nicole heading in and her husband Ryan was there to get her ready and run with her for the return leg. She'd been struggling with her knees for a good 20 miles or more so was doing brilliantly and with Ryan to help her through the second 50, I thought she was in with a great chance of finishing this.
.. And Back Again
So, Dips and I were off and we did a mix of running and walking. I probably should have run here more than I did but whilst I was physically feeling ok, I was starting to feel a bit tired. Still, it was great to have the company of the lovely Dips and we chatted about all sorts, including the forthcoming Round Norfolk Relay. For the first few miles we passed loads of people heading in the other direction and spent a bit of time wondering who was doing the 50 and who was doing the 100. I saw Amanda here (previous 10 in 10 runner) and Matt from the Picnic not far from the finish of their 50. At the Botley Hill CP, I was not the first person to express disappointment at the fact that they'd run out of coke. So, the lovely peeps there dispatched someone to a shop to buy some – too late for me, but what stars. I was starting to suffer with some chafing on my sides from my pack, and I decided to stick some tape on to try and minimise any further damage. After more food and another coffee, it was time to head off again.
9 miles into the return leg and I declared that I'd now run further than ever before in one go.. and I still had 41 miles to go! Not long after this, coming down some steps off Oxted Downs, we encountered Allan, who was sitting down with a foil blanket around him. I asked what was up and he said that he was in shock. He didn't look great to be honest and wasn't particularly coherent. He got James on the phone but couldn't explain where he was so I took the phone and was able to describe our location well enough. James said he'd get help there asap and Allan was telling us to get going. Luckily a bloke who was crewing who I'd seen earlier putting out glowsticks came along and he agreed to stay with Allan until he got picked up. That was a bit scary.. I've only got to know Allan recently, although I've "known" him on Fetch and Twitter etc for a while. He's a 100 marathon club member, has run over 100 miles multiple times before, including the GUCR and he's a bit of a legend tbh. So, to see him like this.. well, scary.
Anyway.. Dips and I kept at it, past the quarry and up one of the many sets of ridiculously steep steps that are dotted around the NDW. After a while the sun was setting and whilst it was still bright enough out in the open, it was getting blummin' dark whilst in the woods. Headlamp time.. We got through Merstham and a very dark graveyard and started heading towards Reigate Hill. For some reason I had forgotten how long the slog up the hill here is. It just seemed to drag on and on. The 'mile or so to the CP' that I told Dips it was from Merstham turned into probably 2.5 and it was properly dark and quiet when we finally got to the CP at Reigate Hill at 10:20pm. I was still over an hour ahead of my schedule, but clearly losing time. I decided to get changed whilst Wendi made up a pot noodle for me. The dry shorts and a long-sleeved top felt great, but I'd got cold and I started shivering. I felt awful and the pot noodle was absolutely disgusting. The theory was that the high carbs and salt content would be spot on, but I just couldn't stomach much of it. I should have eaten something else instead but I wanted to get moving and warm up. I really felt like shit – if I hadn't had Dips, Wendi and Mark there, I would seriously have considered pulling out. Oh yes, Mark was there – he seemed to be wearing all his clothes to keep warm and was going to accompany me from there through the night. Top man We reckoned that a few people must be pissed off with the CP being there as it would make an ideal dogging spot.
Off we went and I started warming up. We got a bit lost on top of Reigate Hill trying to follow where the markers deviated from the NDW.. we should have just stuck with the NDW tbh, much more straightforward. Anyway, we found where we should be and kept going. Slow progress though, but Mark was great company. Somewhere on the way up Box Hill we were joined by another runner by the name of Marc, who asked if he could stick with us. The more the merrier and all that. The slog up Box Hill seeemed to last forever, but Mark kept us amused by belching and farting like a goodun. After going down the horrible Box Hill steps, the stepping stones across the River Mole were a great site, with loads of glowsticks marking the way. I should have taken a photo.. d'oh. At the Box Hill CP (76 miles) I had a sit down and some coke and a couple of ham and cheese wraps and Marc gave his feet a full service. I wanted to get moving to keep warm so Mark and I headed off but Marc wasn't far behind and caught us up before we headed up the slog past Denbies. I mentioned earlier that part of this had been tarmaced recently and we all remarked how it was a brilliant surface after the tree roots and stony paths with a million things to trip over earlier. My Garmin gave up somewhere around this time, having put in a good 18 hours and 35 minutes. Time seemed a little irrelevant now anyway.
I know this trail pretty well, but everything looked so different in the dark, particularly in the woods. I spent most of my time scanning trees by the sides of the trail for marker tape, NDW signposts and glowsticks ahead, to make sure we were on the right track. Unfortunately this went wrong quite soon.. I remember bring at a fork in the trail, with 2 or 3 different paths. I looked at the signpost and thought I'd headed in the direction of the one saying the North Downs Way. Clearly I got that wrong. We headed down a steep descent which was very rough underfoot. I thought to myself that I don't remember a descent like this on the trail here, but I then saw a bit of red and white tape on a tree (which could have been leftover from some previous event in the area). It wasn't until we got to the bottom and to a gate that we realised that we were on the wrong trail (it said Dorking to Gomshall path). Still, I knew that Gomshall is just a little south of the NDW and I remembered a path signposted to Gomshall off the trail during the first 50, so I thought that we should carry on (rather than go back up the hill we'd gone down) and we'd find a way back to the NDW. With a combination of Mark's eTrex and the Map app on my iPhone, we made sure we were heading west and towards a road that I thought we could take North, and we should see the NDW again. Thankfully it worked, but there was a worried atmosphere around and I think we must have wasted some time here. Looking at the maps now, afterwards, I can see where we went, and we were really very close to the trail at all times, but in the middle of the night it felt like we'd gone miles off. I was still keeping warm in my long sleeved OMM top but at some point I noticed that I had stopped sweating, even though I felt like I was hot enough to sweat. I hoped that didn't mean anything.
Not long after this, at around 4am and after we'd got back onto the NDW, I virtually fell asleep. I had my eyes open, but I was basically sleeping whilst still plodding on. I felt awful. I literally kept looking at the ground and wishing I could just lie down, anywhere. All sorts of things went through my head. 'Mark, why are you so far ahead.. come here and talk to me.' 'I can't snap out of this, what's going on?' 'Oh look, there's the floor. Sit down, lie down, just for a bit.' Marc went into the bushes for a call of nature. I lent against a signpost but daren't close my eyes. I think I was slurring, or mumbling. Mark was brilliant (and still belching impressively). He just kept going, a few paces ahead, turning to check on me every now and then with his big smiling Janner face I craved caffeine, but I should have eaten something. I was still drinking my 4:1 mix but kept feeling like I wanted to burp, but couldn't, and thought I'd be sick. Basically I was just completely exhausted.
Eventually the sky started getting lighter. By the time we reached Newlands Corner, we could turn our headlamps off. I ate some malt loaf and that coupled with the daylight seemed to wake me up a little. As we got near St Marthas hill, a runner came flying past us, looking bright and breezy. We couldn't work it out – how could someone have taken the same time as us to get this far, but now look that with it and be running so fast? We agreed that he must have had a kip somewhere. Git. We made it up and over St Marthas and knew the CP was at the bottom of the hill. We staggered into the CP and slumped into the chairs there. 87 miles in 24 hours and 26 minutes.I had a cup of coke and was then given a can of Red Bull. Caffeine, my old friend. I woke up – it was glorious I think I ate something more before the three of us headed on our way again. We were still as slow as anything, but still going and a bit more chatty now.
Whilst I was now awake, everything hurt and my legs were totally stiff. It was hard going, but I knew we'd make it now, and I knew we'd be well within the 32 hour limit. It was just a matter of keeping going. 13 miles seemed like an awfully long way now though – normally a distance I can easily knock out without any bother at all. We made it to the next CP at Puttenham, with 6 miles to go, where the bloke there told me off for sitting down for too long. I could have swung for him, but he was right. Dips took over from Mark for the last bit and I treated her to her slowest 10K ever! I hadn't topped my drink up at either of the last two CPs so of course ran out not long after leaving Puttenham so had to share Dips's water. Silly me.. When we passed the golf club in Sands and the place where the Pilgrim starts and finishes, I thought we were only a mile or so from the end. I mile or so after this, a runner out for a morning jog passed us in the other direction and told us we had another mile and a half to go. I nearly cried. Further on, we passed a sign saying "just one mile left!" or similar. Clearly, this was intended to spur people on to the finish. I did a swear. When we actually, really were near the finish, I broke into a run. Well.. jog, shuffle, lope – whatever it is that zombies do when they're heading your way and want to eat your brain. My legs felt horrific. It didn't last long. After a few more minutes, we saw Mark. "How far?" I mumbled. No reply. "How far?" Nothing. Throw me a frickin' bone Mark. Dips translated. "How far? He wants to run in." "Just round the corner."
So we ran. Dips dropped back and I shambled into a little car park behind a petrol station at the end of the trail, looking like death. 100 miles, 28 hours, 48 minutes and 14 seconds. Utterly, completely exhausted.
James shook my hand and the first thing I asked was what happened to Allan. Of course, James couldn't understand me in my state (and to be fair, he'd been up all night too) so after asking again he told me what had happened and that Allan was ok. Cool. Medal round my neck, buckle and t-shirt presented and I got to sit down. Marc finished a few minutes after me, and he also looked like shit
It turned out that Nicole had finished a few hours ahead of me – I was made up for her. Someome said that of 67 who started the 100, 35 had pulled out at some point, including many experienced ultra runners. I'd really struggled through the last 25 miles, but I'd done it, and with 12 people still behind me.
I'd said to Dips a few times during that last 6 miles that I'd never do this distance again and that the through the night thing was just so hard. It really is. I'm a person who likes, needs his sleep. A good 7 hours a night, minimum. But then of course you start thinking about what went wrong and what you could do better. I think I actually got a lot right – I was well hydrated, used a good drink mix which provided plenty of carbs, some protein and electolytes. I didn't suffer any injuries bar some chafing and have no knee or ankle problems. However, I should have eaten a lot more. I might one day do a 100 again, but no time soon.
The race itself was excellent. This was the first race put on by Centurion Running and it was a massive undertaking – 50 miles of trail which was marked with tape and glowsticks, three separate races (marathon, 50 & 100), 6 aid stations as well as the start/finish which were staffed by friendly and enthusiastic people and well stocked with food and drink, medical support throughout the whole race if needed, and so on. Incredible. The race also had a great website with live times on it, which people were following and I got a lot of texts, tweets and facebook messages throughout the race which was awesome.
Finally, Wendi, Dips and Mark. You three are true friends. You gave up your time selflessly to help me do this. You put up with me when I was not at all with it in the night and kept me going. Thanks so much.

You are a super star and did a great time in a tough race………..although i do think you are a muppett for getting lost on the bit of the route that you actually know well….*sniggers* 😀 well done and thank you for all your support too xxx
Superb achievement Matt, and a real page turner of a report. I'll never fathom how you can be so versatile to knock out quick 5k times, and then pull a run like this out of the hat. Awesome.
I was that morning runner that said one and a half to go! An excellent writeup. 100, even 50, is way beyond me at the moment, but this gave me an idea of what it would be like. Well done
Ha ha ha, nearly crying over a mile and a half? What's that in a 100 mile race? Well I have done the same so many times, glad to hear it happens to others too 🙂
Awesome running Matt and great report too. I think Yiannis Kouros said that you are only a proper ultra runner when you have been running for more than 24 hours…
See you soon.
Matt, so pleased for you, a fantastic performance in your first 100 you should be very proud. Enjoy your rest.
Great write up Matt! And my first mentioning on a running blog – fame at last. See you at the NDW100 2012 at Knockholt as will be helping out there as I am "giving back to the ultrarunning community" aka "wimping out but wanting to feel involved"

I accepted The 10-Day Brand Your Brilliance Challenge, by Felicia Davis, expecting to produce something (because I know the caliber of a leader, coach, and strategist she is), but certainly, I did not anticipate rising to the occasion in the manner in which I did. She exceeds all expectations! If you want to show up more powerfully as a business owner or corporate leader – Felicia Davis is the one to work with! Just sayin'…
I have never been so excited to face a new year! For some reason, this year brings hope and fulfillment of dreams long deferred. In 2016 and 2017, I met some phenomenal people (like Felicia Davis) who are on the same wavelength as I am, but are ahead of me on the continuum, yet more than willing to collaborate and support me in sharing my message.
I often say, "I want people to know my heart." This means, my authentic desire for the growth and empowerment of others – especially women. I believe in people being able to transform their lives – no matter what they have done or challenges they face. I believe in resilience – because I am that person that deeply desired to have someone believe in me.
My blogging really slowed down at the end of 2017, but because I was focused on preparing for 2018. I decided it was more important to focus on my foundation than to dress the windows of my shop. So, I ended the year accepting the challenge to strengthen my personal brand.
Yesterday, I completed the 10-day challenge feeling victorious! Although I am a life-long learner, I am READY to execute now more than ever. The challenge rejuvenated me! It also made me aware my greatest opportunities for this year. I am so grateful.
To the woman who is ready for a positive life-shift, and definition of purpose – it would be my pleasure to have a conversation about how you can change it up for the better! I did it…I know you can too!
Peace and blessings,

In honor of National Small Business Week (
#SmallBusinessWeek ), here are five highly effective, low- or no-cost ways to amp up the quality of your customer service experience.
1. Train your employees to handle unhappy customers–and to win them back when things go wrong. When things go wrong, it's uncomfortable for employee and customer alike. But if employees anticipate and train for the fact that things will go wrong, they'll be ready when they do. Put a system in place that addresses these scenarios (what I call "customer service recovery") and train your employees until they're fluent in using it. There are various systems out there for customer service recovery; if you don't already have an alternative system in place, feel free to make use of my AWARE approach–Acknowledge, Widen, Agree, Resolve, Evaluate–which you can read about in detail here.
When you become good at customer service recovery, your company will experience a wonderful bonus in terms of customer engagement and loyalty. When a customer encounters a problem and then experiences how splendidly you address and resolve it, they're likely to develop a closer bond with your business than if everything had gone smoothly in the first place–and the customer therefore never got to see you demonstrate your service-recovery prowess.
2. Develop a company language lexicon. Even the most enthusiastic and well-meaning employees can sometimes turn off customers simply by using the wrong language. The solution to this is to undertake what I call "language engineering": thinking about the specific phrases that employees should avoid using, and about the better alternatives that you prefer. Memorialize these word choices in a phrasebook or "language lexicon" that everyone in your company can refer to and make use of for customer service phone calls, chats, messaging, and email.
Here are four examples:
a) Discouraged: ''You owe . . .''
Preferred: ''Our records show a balance of . ..
b) Discouraged: ''You need to . . .''
Preferred: ''We find it works best when . . .''
c) Discouraged: ''Please hold.''
Preferred: ''May I briefly place you on hold?'' (And then actually listen to the caller's answer.)
d) Discouraged: "No Problem" (in response to a customer thanking you).
Preferred: Almost anything is better than "no problem": ("You're welcome," "You're very welcome," "My pleasure," "Thank you." )
3. Make the beginning and ending of the customer experience perfect.The human memory is far from egalitarian. It undemocratically selects "snapshots" to store based on whatever your brain considers to be important. One of these mental shortcuts is the brain's assumption that the beginning and the ending of an experience are particularly worth remembering. Because of this quirk of memory, it's important to get these two moments right. As follow:
4. Commit to getting back to customers immediately. When a customer leaves a message by email or telephone or text, they're hoping to hear back from you right away. My professional opinion is that it's essential to respond to all such communications from customers within the same half day (even sooner, if it's nearly closing time, so you don't leave anyone hanging until tomorrow). This is essential to do, even if you don't yet have a complete answer to the customer's inquiry; if you don't have all the needed information yet, communicate this to the customer right away, and let them know a realistic time frame for when you will get back to them with a complete answer.)
It's essential to understand that customer time frames have tightened up dramatically from what they were even a few years ago. Perhaps in 2005 it was okay to take 24 hours to respond to a customer email. Not today. I'd argue that 24 hours feel like 48 years in Internet time.
5. Enable customers to find what they're looking for themselves. Customers only want to be in touch with you when they choose to do so, notwhen you force them to do so because of bad process design and lazy systems implementation. They don't want to have to call you just to find out that their order has shipped; they want an automated confirmation. They don't want to be forced to call your receptionist to have them read out your GPS-friendly address because your site only lists your PO Box.
The solution is to do a complete review of your self-service options and publicly- available information. Are your FAQ's reasonably complete and readily searchable? Are your hours of business clearly stated (and accurate)? And so forth. (Ultimately you should elevate this exercise of eliminating useless contact to the level of high art. Amazon, clearly, is a leader here; think of how they pioneered the auto-response so you know your order has been received; how easy they make it to return product–without having to call for an RA#–do you remember those bad old days?, and so forth. Another interesting company to emulate is Adobe, with its "curate before we create" approach to self-service customer support. You can read more about the Adobe approach here.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — All Christians are called to holiness and to take even little steps each day to be more loving and more Christ-like, Pope Francis said.
"Some think that holiness is closing your eyes and making the face of a plastic statue, but that's not holiness," the pope said Nov. 19 at his weekly general audience.
Holiness is something much greater, much more profound than looking like an image on a holy card, he said. "It is living with love and offering your own Christian witness in your daily tasks."
Pope Francis said "a great gift" of the Second Vatican Council was the recovery of the notion of "the church as communion," a community formed by people who "have equal dignity and have the same vocation to holiness" by virtue of their baptism.
"To be saints, one does not necessarily have to be a bishop, priest or religious, no," he said. "We are all called to become saints."
"Many times we are tempted to think that holiness is reserved only for those who have the possibility of detaching themselves from ordinary concerns so they can dedicate themselves exclusively to prayer," he said. "But that's not true."
Holiness, the pope said, is a gift God offers to everyone and a response to his grace. It is the result of hundreds of little steps and gestures each day. And they will be different for each person depending on the circumstances of one's life.
Consecrated men and women become saints by living their vows with joy, he said. Married people become saints by loving and taking care of their husband or wife. Single Catholics become saints "doing their work with honesty and competence, and offering their time to serve their brothers and sisters."
In a factory or an office, in the marketplace or in the home, he said, God communicates with the faithful and gives them the grace to be holy.
Parents and grandparents are taking a step toward holiness when they patiently listen to their children or grandchildren and when they enthusiastically teach them "to know and follow Jesus," the pope said. "Holiness comes through the exercise of patience" with children, especially when you are tired, he added.
People who do volunteer work take a step toward holiness every time they demonstrate God's love for and closeness to someone who is suffering, he said.
"On Sundays, going to Mass and receiving communion — sometimes adding a good confession that cleans us up a bit — that is a step toward holiness," the pope said.
"Be bearers of holiness. Always, eh: in your home, on the streets, at work and in church," he told the estimated 13,000 people at the audience. "Don't be discouraged in following this path. God himself will give you grace."
Pope Francis asked those at the audience to do a brief examination of conscience, asking themselves how well they respond to their vocation to holiness.
"When the Lord invites us to be holy," the pope said, "he is not calling us to something heavy or sad, but the complete opposite: It's an invitation to live and share his joy in every moment of our lives."

It's damn good, that's why. It stays in the trap zone, but just makes the track crazier. Pretty impressed with this Montreal producer and you better believe I'll looking up more music on his Soundcloud. Maybe you should, too.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - The Daily Targum, the student-run newspaper that has been covering Rutgers for 150 years, will continue publishing during the 2019-20 school year.
However, Sandy Giacobbe, the paper's business manager, said on Friday that the newspaper will publish on a Monday-through-Thursday schedule instead of five days a week.
He also said the Daily Targum will feature enhanced digital content
The Daily Targum was thrown into financial turmoil and its future was uncertain after editors failed to secure student funding this past spring.
Although The Daily Targum generates revenue through ads and support from alumni, it is mainly funded by students whose tuition included a refundable $11.25 fee. Not enough students voted to continue the student fee during a recent campus referendum.
Students are asked every three years to reaffirm their support. At least 25% of the student body must support the fee for Rutgers to keep charging students to support the newspaper.
Of the 23,996 eligible voters, only about 6,500 participated, or only 27 percent of the student body voted on the referendum. Of those, who cast a ballot, 4,400 voted in favor of the referendum. So even though 67 percent of those students who voted approved the referendum, it turns out to be only 18 percent of the entire student body.
News of the paper's possible demise spread throughout Targum alumni Facebook groups and other social media platforms. A grassroots effort to fund the paper, spearheaded by several alumni, soon started.
Plus, a gofundme page started by Targum editors raised $18,860.
Giaccobe said the money would be used toward upgrading the newspaper's computers and cameras.
Giaccobe told TAPinto New Brunswick in May that the 2017-18 operating budget was about $800,000. The biggest expense was the printing and distribution of10,000 copies each day, Monday through Friday.
Since the end of the spring semester, Targum reporters have kept busy. They covered the commencement ceremonies at HighPoint.com Stadium and President Robert Barchi's announcement that he would be stepping down after the next school year. Other reporters have been covering the football teams summer practices.

Brad Pitt was reportedly rejected for jury duty at a downtown Los Angeles courthouse last week because the court said he would be too distracting to the proceedings.
According to the Daily Mail, Pitt waited for hours along with other prospective jurors at the courthouse but was ultimately turned away, even though a source said he was looking forward to getting picked.
"Brad was hoping he might get picked to serve on a short case," an unnamed source told the Mail. "But the problem was, he would actually be required to serve for as long as it took for the case to be decided."
Los Angeles attorney William R. Lively told the paper that it was highly unlikely Pitt would have been selected to serve on an actual jury.
"Like any other potential juror, Brad would have received a jury summons that required him to travel downtown and be interviewed by the judge or attorney in what is called voir dire," Lively explained. "In most cases, as soon as it's discovered that a potential juror is a major celebrity, that person is dismissed, but that is not always the case."
As Lively noted to the Mail, Tom Hanks was called to serve on a jury in September, 2013, but defense attorneys in the case immediately accused prosecutors of jury tampering after a female city prosecutor approached Hanks during a break in proceedings and told him that the prosecutor's office was impressed that a celebrity of Hanks' stature would sit for a jury.
"You just can't stick Brad Pitt in a jury box and expect 11 jurors to ignore him," Lively told the paper. "It's only natural that those jurors would be watching to see how Brad reacts to what's being said and that they could be influenced by his opinions once the jury goes behind closed doors to render a verdict."
Pitt was reportedly called for jury duty once before, in 2003, and it is not known whether he served on an actual jury. He reportedly ate lunch, a Subway sandwich, with the other jurors waiting in the court.
The unnamed source also told the Mail that even if Pitt was chosen for the jury, he would have a hard time serving because wife Angelina Jolie is sick at home with the chicken pox.
"Now that Angelina is out of commission with the chicken pox, Brad has been picking up the slack both at home and at work," the source said. "So it would have been hard for him to comply had he been chosen.

As a former Croatian tourism minister is fired by Dubrovnik's gran for comments about the drunk antics of Australian along with New Zealand tourists, the debate concerning the type of tourism Croatia is looking to attract continues.
Croatia. The med as it Once Was. As a advertising and marketing slogan, the Croatian National Visitor Board deserves full credit for an excellent job throughout resurrecting the country's vital tourist market after the devastating war throughout former Yugoslavia.
The successful rebuilding of Croatia's tourism sector
Proving to be a new country with self-reliance, Croatia has successfully were able to re-brand itself as a young along with hip must-see destination, with its stunning coastline and 1185 islands because the main attraction. After a file season in 2011 – no less than according to official statistics and with the island of Hvar known as as Lonely Planet's range 5 destination for 2012, the continuing success of Croatian tourism looks assured, but is all because rosy as it seems, and it is the current tourism the type how the country is looking for?
Recent remarks made by former Tourism Minister, Pave Zupan Ruskovic, in her current position because destination manager for Dubrovnik, possess focused debate on the kind of tourism Croatia is attracting. She was informed by simply Dubrovnik mayor Andro Vlahusic that her contract would not be renewed after she told a local newspaper she would prefer it if Australian and Kiwi tourists would avoid Croatia's top destination, also known as the particular Pearl of the Adriatic.
"Already when coming into the city they are drunk along with crazy. And that's absolutely not appropriate for any city and in particular for Dubrovnik," she told the particular Dubrovacki List.
Australian and Kiwi tourists making headlines in Dalmatia
Young Australian and Kiwi tourists have made the headlines for all the incorrect reasons in recent times on the Dalmatian shoreline. A Perth woman was hospitalised throughout Dubrovnik after attempting a jump into the sea from a cliff previous August, some 24 hours following a West Australian citizen struck a concrete roof throughout Split while attempting to jump off a ravine.
A Twenty-five year-old man from Victoria died about the island of Brac last Summer, jumping from a cliff. Over a yacht off Hvar, meanwhile, a New Zealand woman almost misplaced her hand, during a freak accident in the bathroom off of a yacht, while having sexual intercourse with a British man, because the bathroom sink collapsed along with left her hand dangling by a thread – she was helicoptered to Split and the girl hand was saved. Split is one of the most interesting Croatian summer area for holiday. Here you'll find good accommodation such as Split hotel.
It might be unfair to label this particular as an Antipodean problem – just ask the average Spanish vacation resort about its young English visitors – and the drunk behaviour of a British royal prince in a Hvar nightclub swimming pool was far from an isolated example of English behaviour in Croatia previous summer, but it does emphasize the issue of the type of travel and leisure Croatia needs, and exactly what it has to offer apart from the stereotype of beaches and nightlife.
Dubrovnik's gran Vlahusic said that Ruskovic's comments were unacceptable, and that Dubrovnik was a free along with open city, and all tourists were welcome, whatever how old they are or origin.
"The common purpose of all of us who work for the city tourism is to gain because the best quality as we can. It can be a assure of security and a pleasant stay of visitors no matter of their origin or age group," said the gran.
The comments that have cost Ruskovic the girl job are not in solitude, however, and the mayor of Hvar Town, Pjerino Bebic, received a application from residents against the evening partying and drunkenness in September.
Hvar as a 12-month destination
Hvar is an fascinating case in point in the direction which Croatian tourism chooses. Croatian tourism is as simple as no means one-dimensional with its beach front and party offer – it has a rich natural, national and activity offer to attract tourists of all ages throughout the year.
As the Carpe Diem Full Moon parties, the particular Lonely Planet endorsement along with the antics of Prince Harry will guarantee that it is in one of the cool places in 2012, the challenge to the island – and Croatia as a whole – is to much better promote its other various tourism riches.
Hvar, for example, is best known for its beaches, sunshine and nightlife, but its true tourism offer is away from the drinking water and nightclubs. It has a abundant history, including UNESCO-protected sites along with processions, with Neolithic, Greek, Roman and Venetian sights. Known as the Lavender Island, there's an enviable agro-tourism sector, with jasmine, olive and wine harvests duplicated by some of the best wines in the area, from vineyards with the most sun in the Adriatic. Twelve-month activities include sailing, cycling, hiking, yoga, day spa tourism, kayaking and ocean fishing, with luxury hotel including Hotel Adriana, one of Fodor's Top players Hotels for 2011.
The marketing campaign of the Croatian National Visitor Board for 2012 has shown a marked change in direction, because the Mediterranean slogan has been replaced by Croatia: The New Tourism Star of the European Union (observe video above), with a marked shift in emphasis away from the Adriatic shoreline towards inland tourism along with traditions. 2012 promises to become an interesting year for Croatian travel and leisure as reported tagza.com.

Changing Provider of Record
Phoenix Ortho's best practice is to have the patient scheduled in the Practice Management system under the provider that is going to be treating the patient that day.
After completing this how-to you will have ...
First Step
To change providers of record
Left click on the provider's name in the visit console to highlight and then right click and click on "Set Visit Provider".
Second Step
A pop up box will appear and you will select the provider of record. Hit select.
Third Step
A pop up box will appear and you will select the provider of record. Hit select.
Forth Step
Moving content after changing providers (Remember, not best practices).
After you have changed providers by following the above steps, and you have documentation in the chart you will need to click and drag it into the folder of the new provider, but you may lose content! Remember change providers before any notes have been generated, or you must delete and recreate.
Caution: The History will never move directly under a provider folder. It will always be outside the folder and cannot be moved. Do not try to drag it as this will cause numerous errors with the patient chart.
Simply click and drag the information that you have started in the visit under the first provider to the new provider and you will see this prompt, click OK.
I would suggest you go into the HPI if it has been created and use the control C and copy the data in case it is lost in transfer, then use control v to paste it in under the new provider.
Never try to move a note that was generated, just delete the note if it was created already and recreate it under the new provider.
To do that just right click on the note (you must have Administrative roles, see Training Video: "Administrator User" Rights, Roles and Functionality from December 1) and delete.
The x-rays (if linked to your PACS) physical exam, PT order and orders under Order Wizard do not drag and drop. Again, watch the video "Admin User" from Dec 1.
If you choose to change the provider of record you MUST do it before any of the above have been ordered or generated.
Do not leave any of the information outside of the provider folder (except the history) or it will not be on the note.
See how the PT order is not under the Provider's folder
This is what was achieved and what was omitted in this how-to.

Another tragic loss — 37 million honeybees found dead in Canada
Barely two weeks after 25,000 bees were found dead in a parking lot in Oregon, another round of bee devastation has been reported. This time, the mass die-off was far worse. More than 37 million honeybees were found dead in Elmwood, Ontario, according to beekeeper Dave Schuit, who lost the bees from 600 hives in June. He and many others are pointing to insecticides called neonicotinoids, used in planting corn and some other crops. "Once the corn started to get planted [in Elmwood] our bees died by the millions," Schuit said. After a record-breaking loss of honeybees in the U.K., the European Union banned several pesticides in May, including neonicotinoid pesticides.

The Perils of Being an Outspoken Atheist
Erik Browne, at Louisiana State University, posted this article about the discrimination he faces in the South as an atheist. Following is my comment:
Kudos, Erik, for standing up to the persecution. Since I live in California, I haven't faced the kind of outright discrimination of which you speak.
I was raised in an extremely rigid and conservative cult which was started by my parents, (Church Universal and Triumphant) and had tens of thousands of members. I became a minister at age 23, and eventually vice-president of the church. After seeing repeated and glaring contradictions in both the doctrine and management, I left at age 30.
Seven years later, in 2001 I started a website, in which I've been very outspoken about the rejection of my former beliefs. Since then, I have been verbally attacked, ridiculed, harassed online, and stalked by believers.
What's clear is that believers can't tolerate apostates. We become a threat to their fear-based systems. For daring to speak up and risk whatever divine retribution might be doled out, we place ourselves in one of two positions: 1) We are going to hell and facing spiritual ruin (which can't be proven) or 2) We present a glaring example that we were able to leave the faith and nothing bad happened to us. Option 1 leaves their belief system intact. Option 2 forces them to face that they have accepted a whole mess of rules and regulations for nothing. It forces them to face up to the fact that their beliefs are subjective and baseless and they are most likely wasting their lives. It forces them to confront the reality of death as final, and the loss of the afterlife fantasy and all that entails. They don't want to face the second option, so to keep their worldview intact, they have to demonize, or metaphorically "murder" the apostate.
In the Islamic world, they literally kill you. Here in Puritan/Christianville, it's 'just' severe vitriol and discrimination. (And in your case, assault.) But if theists want to be true to their faith, they must tolerate us, accept us, treat us as 'god' or 'jesus' teaches them to treat their enemies (with love), and deal with whatever contradiction that presents them.
Thanks for speaking out. I don't think any of us atheists have any less right to speak our views than those in the majority. Religious beliefs, after all, are nothing but opinions. There are thousands of different sects, they don't agree with each other, and religions have their OWN unpopular minorities. I grew up in one. And after all, if our constitution doesn't protect unpopular minorities, then it's not good for much, is it?

Let Them Know
"I can't tell them. I don't want to bother them." That is what I thought for so long. For over a year, as my personal mental health concerns grew and worsened, I kept them a secret. I denied my issues, and I denied there was a problem that any help could even fix. In time, I realized I was wrong, and it was well past time to tell someone I needed help. 7 years later, I still had not disclosed everything, and my path to recovery changed drastically again.
It's scary telling people about problems they cannot see, and it is extremely difficult to tell them everything. It may even feel like explaining it all might just make things worse, for you, and for everyone who knows you. Regardless, it is painfully necessary to let someone—anyone close, who will listen with concern, that you trust—what is really going on, and how you struggle. Whether it's substance use, physical abuse, emotional turmoil, social difficulties, or the possibility of a mental disorder, it is better to try informing someone, than continuing, day and night, to suffer all alone.
I was bullied from age 4 to age 18; I explored my limits with alcohol, marijuana, and intimacy; many of my relationships crumbled, and I had signs and symptoms of mental illness: but I never, truly let another person know until I was 22 years old. My recovery was overdue. At age 16 I sought help for suicidal thoughts, but didn't say enough, and was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder for almost 6 years. Only recently, after honestly, fully informing those closest to me and my doctors, have I found accurate labels for my problems, and reliable treatment paths. And only recently, it has begun to feel 100% better. I know it feels horrible describing personal shortcomings, but it might be necessary to get better.
In my experience and the experiences of others I have talked with, the following are key steps in asking someone for support:
· State the problem(s)
· List the symptoms of the problem(s)
· Describe how the problem(s) make your life difficult
· Let them know you want help with the problem; that you want to get better
I have heard from others, including members of support groups, therapists, psychiatrists and other doctors, that only we—as individuals—have the power to change and improve our own lives. I resisted this overused phrase for so long, but it is true. Only you have the power to change things, and that may mean that you have to address things or take action to recover. If the problem seems unbearable, I recommend it, a lot of others in recovery recommend it, and the hardship is worth it with time when you stop fighting it alone.
Written by Nick Berreth.

My point is, there are times when you need to uses the fields, no matter where they are coming from, query string or form data. Maybe in a RESTful app there is consequences, but at least in my app, I am giving the external app an url to return to my app. And the external app uses that url and adds some parameters to the post data. In fact, as a consequence of this the forms in seaside put the _s and _k parameters as hidden fields inside the form and not in the action url. So, I am monkeypatching the seaside code in my image and use it, as I have very well defined variables to handle and I expect no problems by merging postFields with getFields. Thanks for the information anyway. BTW, the code should be: WAKom>>fieldsOf: aKomRequest ^aKomRequest postFields union: aKomRequest getFields Cheers -- Miguel Cobá http://miguel.leugim.com.mx
