Computer Stopped Working
Hello All,
I just built my first computer a few weeks ago. I installed Windows 7 through a USB stick and everything was working great. Recently though, everything went terribly wrong.
Long story short, the computer will not boot into windows anymore. When I try to use the System Recovery Tools, there is no operating system listed and asks me to restart the computer and select the OS. That does nothing, the OS is never listed. When I try to use that Startup Repair thing, it runs for a minute and gives me the message that it cannot repair the computer, great! After that tool doesn't work it mentions that there doesn't appear to be a HDD, or that it cannot communicate with it. Odd, because my SATA is listed in the BIOS.
So I got fed up and tried a reinstall, that should fix everything right? Well when I try that it asks me to insert the reinstall media and select the driver. Well what driver am I supposed to select? That is my current situation. Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Hello Stanton, welcome to Seven Forums!
Maybe the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is not working correctly or has an intermittent connection to the motherboard, have you tried the connection; maybe you should run some tests on it; have a look at the link below.
You can't think of any reason Windows may have quit working in the first place?

I haven't tried anything with the connection. I had this computer working up until yesterday. There were programs installed on the HDD, so how could it just stop functioning?
I cannot think of any reason why Windows has failed. I was browsing the web and it became slow all of a sudden. My initial concern was malware, and I was right. I ran CCleaner and malwarebytes. It did find one malware infection and removed it. I then restarted the system. At first it would boot into windows, but it kept getting slower and slower until it would no longer work.
I was just able to run the Startup Repair. It completed and restarted the computer, which then failed to load windows again. So it is now in the process of running Startup Repair again.
It seems like I am encountering new problems each time I try something new.
|My System Specs
|19 Nov 2010
I'd imagine you are more infected than you first thought; another concern is the "one removed" had something to do with the startup routine.
The only way to correct for the infection may be to completely wipe (secure erase) the HDD, have a look at the info below.
|My System Specs

Ok after the second time through the Startup Repair it said that it cannot repair the computer. But it seems to have found the operating system. So I am trying to do a system restore now. If that does not work than I will do the wipe.

I am trying to wipe the Drive but I cannot access it again. When I ask for the list in diskpart it tells me "there are no fixed disks to show."
|My System Specs
|19 Nov 2010
Ok I found it in the list now.
I am cleaning it now. And because its a 1TB HD, this may take a really long time.
Will keep updating what happens.

Yes be sure to post back and this time don't put the OS on the whole HDD, make a single 100GB partition to do the install to using Step Two #2 and you can make any additional needed partitions after the install finishes. Windows will have an easier time not having to install to such a large space as 1TB.
How to Shrink a Partition or Volume in Windows 7
Also with Windows installed to a 100GB partition, if you ever need to do another wipe you won't have to do the whole HDD; you would be able to do a partition specific wipe using the method out-lined in Option Three of this tutorial.
Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD
|My System Specs
|19 Nov 2010
If you have not yet tested your HD, you should find the HD maker's diag/repair utility at the link BFK posted earlier, burn to CD and run the full Scan. It can repair physical problems with the disk.
After that run Disk Check from the Win7 DVD Repair console Command Line.
You do not want to install Windows until you have a clean bill of health on your HD. If so, then you can assume it was further infection causing the problems which will be overwritten by wiping the HD.
|My System Specs

Thanks guys. I am now formatting and labeling a created partition of 100GB as Windows 7 with NTFS. I will then perform the Disk Scan and check as Greg recommended.
What would you recommend for an anti-virus software? I only had AVG Free. I think I'll upgrade to something with more protection.

The hint in the Report Search Box has changed to Dutch how do you set it to another language - English fo instance?

- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on January 06, 2014 at 10:11 AM
It appears as English on my end.
This might be due to the form builder language you've used or generated the form report.
Let us know should you have further questions. Thanks!
- mgcaledonian13Answered on January 06, 2014 at 10:18 AM
That is strange, it was definately in Dutch an hour or two ago.
Would it have something to do with the fact a person from Holland Submitted a Booking?, would not have thought so. Ah well a mystery that might never be resolved.
Thanks anyway for the reply.
- JotForm SupportEltonCrisAnswered on January 06, 2014 at 10:23 AM
I have no clue as of the moment. This might be related to Jotform updates or it might be due to the language you used on the form? Well, anyway glad to see it's resolved already.
Update us should you have further questions.

If you're considering a new kitchen or just looking to add a little luxury and warmth to it, the solid oak wood flooring is the way to go. Where most people think that the main choice for kitchen flooring is tiles, vinyl or stone, wooden flooring should also be considered.
With professional installation and the right product, solid oak wood flooring can offer a unique style to your kitchen, whilst being head wearing and durable enough to last for many years.
Obviously, the kitchen is one of the highest traffic areas in the home. Have you ever noticed when you have guests or gatherings at your home, they also go straight to the kitchen area? It's where the food and drink is and it is vernally the warmest place. With this in mind, the flooring needs to be strong enough to withstand this extra traffic, spillages and accidents, which is why tiled or vinyl floors tend to be the main choice.
Like we have previously mentioned, solid oak wood flooring is extremely hardwearing and can last a lifetime, so with the right care it can share the longevity as vinyl and tiles. Oak is one of the hardest species of wood, so gives you peace of mind that it will not warp or deteriorate in your kitchen

Security for IoT requires a complete end-to-end, whole-life approach. This requires an OEM to have a complete solution for the IoT device, from management of user keys through to encrypted and authenticated updates. This has been highlighted in the proposed US cyber-security bill, known as The Internet of Things Cyber-Security Act 2017.
Software only products even if they are "cyber certified" are vulnerable, unless they run on certified hardware. This requires certified hardware and software at the IoT but also processes and procedures for the OEM and their clients.
Blueskytec has a range of services and products to help guide you through this maze of IoT security development.
We can provide you with off-the-shelf modules that allow you to construct your products from initial concept demonstrators through to full production. This will allow you to focus on your application and not worry about designing secure hardware fit for the Internet age. These are all cyber certified and bring you peace of mind when connecting your idea to the Internet.
The final solution for your product will include secure connection to the Internet and the management of your users keys and passwords. We help you put in place the systems to manage this with certified processes.

"Duck Commander Devotions For Kids" Review – Five Stars!
Can I just say I love all the top-notch Christian kid book/cd/videos that have hit the market in the past couple years? Truly talented artists are working to help our children grow in grace.
And I'm pleased to introduce you to another fabulous offering: "Duck Commander Devotions for Kids" by Korie Robertson (wife of Willie Robertson, "Duck Dynasty" TV show) and Chrys Howard (mother to Korie Robertson, best-selling author).
The first thing I noticed were the cute illustrations by Holli Conger. They really bring this devotional book to the next level. My two-year-old was interested in the book just looking through the pictures! Whimsical caricatures of the Robertson family add to each page, filling it with not only color, but additional learning capabilities for visual learners. (I'm going to look for her name on illustrated books going forward!)
The text in the book is very readable, spaced nicely for middle readers. Each selection can be read out loud in about a minute. So you won't have to try to keep your child's attention for an extended time. You could even use these as quick faith lessons added to your breakfast time before school in the morning.
Each devotional page starts with a verse. It's really a meditation on that verse and how we can live it out, which allows it to be complimentary to other things, like reading a story or passage of the Bible from a children's translation.
A short prayer ends the book (great for repeating out loud) along with the "Duck Commander in Action" section — all about putting what you learned into action. Faith without works is dead, and it's not good enough to just read about God's word; you need to put it in action.
This truly is a superb devotional book. Of course, it is Duck Commander themed, but even if you've never watched the show, you would be able to follow along as if you were reading about some random family. So don't let that hold you back even if your kid isn't a "Duck Dynasty" fan.
Each devotional starts with an anecdote about the family; and they are, at heart, a wonderful, loving Christian family, and their stories will sound similar to yours in ways that will make you smile.
In other words, you don't need any prior knowledge of the family members to understand the stories. You and your kid will share some laughs, and you will both gain a deeper understanding of the amazing living Word of God.
Also, verses included are mainly taken from the International Children's Bible, which I appreciate for several reasons: it's a Bible translation especially geared towards children (written for a 3rd grade reading level), and it's gender-neutral. Now, Bible scholars know that when it says "men" in many places it means "all you people," but for those growing in faith, I think it is important to let them know that girls are included too!
"Duck Commander Devotions for Kids" definitely gets five out of five stars in my book and is worth every cent. It is set to release nationwide on February 10th, 2015 from your favorite book seller in stores and online.
(A review copy of this book was provided by the publisher.)

The Death of Jesus
89,00 €
The Death of Jesus
The death of Jesus and its interpretation present both exegetes and theologians with a puzzle. For Jesus himself seems to have left his followers few clues, and the story of his passion is ambivalent, embracing both his reluctant self-surrender in Gethsemane and his reproachful cry on Golgatha. Some of the various motifs and images used by his followers to explain this event were taken over by Paul despite the opposition he saw between the message of the cross and any human wisdom. Yet what meaning do two of the central themes of his soteriology, the corporate, representative role of Christ and the language of "righteousness" and "justification" hold for us today? Or does Paul offer just as little help here as Jesus himself did?

"Building Prosperous and Sustainable Communities"
Creating a prosperous and sustainable community requires state, county and city leaders to identify the strategies that allow the community to reach its goals and vision toward improving and enhancing the economy and quality of life for the community. These leaders are responsible for the implementation of many of the strategies, often coordinating the work of multiple stakeholders and interests across a wide variety of disciplines and industries. Mr. Yount will show our project managers two key efforts in our immediate area: 1) how he was able to create an award winning strategic development center to significantly redevelop and position our community for future growth opportunity in its recovery from the closure of Fort Ord, including the creation of more than $70 million in general fund operating and capital revenues and over 2,000 permanent and 1,000 temporary construction jobs; 2) He will also describe the award winning economic development strategic effort for the City of Salinas, a 35 year prosperity strategy focused on jobs, safety and health of the community.
Over the last 30 years, Mr. Yount has served public and private agencies throughout California in leadership positions such as City Manager, Development Director, Principal and Senior Consultant. Mr. Yount has experience in the negotiation, entitlement and development of complex real estate projects including base reuse and redevelopment in two California communities, and in the preparation and implementation of economic development strategies. Additionally, Mr. Yount keeps current on strategic management and economic development theory and practice through his position as Faculty at California State University Monterey Bay, College of Business and previously, with the Masters in Public Policy program connected to the Panetta Institute.
Education: Master's in Public Policy, University of Michigan; BA in Political Science, UCSB

She will use examples of the budget process from her own experience as a consultant for public agencies. There are many factors cities need to consider when determining how to spend local tax payers dollars from what services are offered, when to include the community and how budgets follow the city's strategic plan. The examples she will share will be from the cities of Pacific Grove, Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Mary Jo Zenk is a senior executive with a CPA and Master's degree and over 25 years of experience in managing complex operations including all aspects of project management, finance, human resources, procurement, informational technology and operational programs.

Title: Wake Me Up When ________________
Pingback: Wake Me Up When | Writing Daily
Wake Me Up When…
I couldn't tell you what having a good dream was like, growing up all I ever had was nightmares. My gram's told me that I was a Nightmare. Literally. She used to tell me stories of my ancestors and how they could get into peoples minds and create nightmares – even when that person was awake. The most powerful a Nightmare could get was when they could make the dreams a reality. She told me I was only a beginner, since I am only able to create nightmares in my own head, when I'm asleep. She told me that I was only able to dream of places I've been and people I've seen, which often gave the dreams a scarier effect. I used to think that my gram's was a drunken fool, but boy was I ever wrong.
Wake me up when this nightmare ends, I told myself before I drifted off into sleep. I thought I was awake when I was counting sheep, but at some point those sheep turned into wolves. Wolves who kept eating the damn sheep I kept dreaming up. But once I got past all that, dreaming wasn't so bad. I could control the direction of my dreams pretty well, as long as nothing good came out of them. If I tried to dream of something happy, I would loose all control and be lost in the darkest of places until I woke up.
This dream was like many that I have had before, being chased in the woods by someone I held dear, trying to kill me.Tonight it was my best friend Rebeca – her eyes crazed, clothes torn, chasing me with an ax, or some other kind of weapon. Then there was me, bruised, bleeding, and scared – filled with adrenaline as I ran from my killer. Things seemed more vivid than they usually were. I could smell the pine trees and the blood that dripped from my nose. I could feel the sticks break beneath my feet, and the pain in my sides as I ran for my life. There was something different about this dream. It felt off. Not like the others that I had had so many times before. I could feel myself start to shiver then, as a strange sensation came over my body. Taking my eyes off of my feet, I turned to see if my killer was still following me. Seeing Rebeca nowhere in sight I moved my attention forward again, only to run into something hard. The shivers stopped. Everything went black.
My eyes flung open as my hand instantly went to flip on my lamp, only to find that nothing was there. Was I on the wrong side of the bed? I blinked several times, trying to let my eyes adjust, and searched for the familiar shapes that I would find in my room. Is that a tree? Eyes widening, I got to my feet and looked at the forest around me. My hand flung to my mouth that hung wide open, only to meet something sticky. Eyes now adjusted to the dimly lit night, I looked at my fingers that were stained red and held my breathe so that a scream would not escape from my lips. I turned slowly, as realization kicked in. My nightmare had become real.
It's rough and it's not perfect, but there it is – my response 😛

A mom that has an drug addiction problem confronts two times the challenges. She wants to break the substance addiction pattern, not lose her young children and still have the capacity to care for them. For the afflicted mother that is also a drug addict, traditional rehabilitation plans are probably not quite a good a match as those specially developed for the specific troubles dependent mothers face.
Within these plans, rather than spend time in jail, the dependent mother gets treatment for her substance addiction and finds the skill sets she needs to be able to not simply stay alcohol free, but be a healthy parent, too.
These programs will also help pregnant women find assist with their rehabilitation from dependence as well as find out precisely how to be a healthy and balanced mother to their new little one after it is delivered.

Home Sweet Harley
October 6, 2017
Filed under News, Spotlights
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Everyone saw the tears of joy Harley Duncan had Sept. 15 when her name was announced as 2017 Homecoming Queen. Being queen was something she never expected to happen, and she was incredibly grateful, if not somewhat surprised.
"Being queen didn't even cross my mind, that's why I was crying," Duncan expressed.
She immediately called her mom to share the good news, and everyone was excited when she got home.
Being homecoming queen is about more than the dress, even if that is a big part. The most exciting, and nerve-racking, part is the speech. The main thing Duncan is looking forward to is the speech, not the crowning. This is the most important part to her because she wants her chance to thank everyone and give advice to underclassmen.
"Homecoming isn't for the prettiest girls. It's for how you talk to people and how you treat others. It's about representing Marion in the right way. I love this community, really. I really do, there's just something special about it," Duncan shared.
Duncan's love for the community is exemplified in her involvement in numerous activities throughout town. She is on the cheerleading squad, enrolled in the college's pilot program, a dedicated Delta Beta Sigma (DBS) member, employed at Stardom Athletics and excels academically, ranking in the top of her class.
Since she was announced as queen, everyone, even local businesses, knows her name and has offered congratulations, making her even more proud to represent Marion. Duncan feels that with this huge honor comes great responsibility to keep her grades up while being a good role model for others.
This is not Duncan's first time on court; she was also a maid her sophomore year. These two times are, of course, completely different.
"Sophomore year was different, because the attention wasn't on you. We all looked up to the seniors because it was their year," Duncan said.
Duncan was thrilled to have senior football players Tanner King and Peyton Walker escort her at the pep rally. King and Duncan were childhood friends who walked home from elementary school together. Having a close friend beside her helped calm her nerves.
Duncan and Walker's relationship is the kind that has been strengthened through an excess of ugly Snapchats.
"There's just a special kind of relationship that comes from sending ugly Snapchats. That's when you know you're close. Plus, it helped to have two escorts that are both taller than me to help keep me up on my heels," Duncan added.
For anyone hoping to make court, Duncan offered the following cheesy but true advice.
"Be yourself. If you want to be friends with lots of people, then do it. If you feel like you want to keep to yourself, then keep to yourself. Don't be someone you're not trying to get homecoming queen, that's not what it's about."

But the exposure we got by doing the stint with Nine Inch Nails brought us a lot of attention.
Each member of the band has varied influences, and the same diversity is reflected in our fanbase.
Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.
I even have a Harmony Rocket and a Stratocaster with a scalloped neck back in Florida.
I have about nine guitars in all, so obviously I'm into collecting.
I just saw metal as another tool for me to use.
I'd played in about four or five bands before we started up, only a couple of which did club dates.
I'm happy with the way everyone presents themselves onstage.
I'm open to getting more equipment, but I really won't have time to look into that until after the tour.
If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.
It all begins with the initial tone coming from the cabinet, but EQ at the board is very important.
It was a good chance for us to play for people who would never have heard us otherwise.
It's great, because different groups of kids can laugh at each other and still enjoy the show.
It's like tabloid news programs that talk about how horrible something is, while at the same time they're glorifying it as their top story.
Micing it from two different angles in front of the speaker sounds huge, and it's so simple.
Nobody seems to play Yamaha electrics, but it's the best guitar I own.
There are kids out there that are into Iron Maiden and others who are strictly into industrial music, but they come for the same reason; they all like us and they different things out of the band's music.
There will be some tracks on the next album which that will consist of mostly noise and feedback, whereas others may just have guitar parts and samples.
Trent likes to record guitars direct, whereas I've always preferred playing through an amplifier.
We were like psychedelic folk combined with Sonic Youth's noise.

"Couldn't have a dip in the sea in Semporna, as there was no beach, but we'll surely catch up with that in Kota Kinabalu", we thought arriving to Malaysia's 10th biggest city, capital of Sabah province.
In Kota Kinabalu, tourism, as an industry, is in the first place. From the rear end.
If you start from the city center and go left - will hit the smelly as hell fish factory. Pictured above.
If you reach the sea just going straight, without making turns, port and chemical cargoes await:
Run right, and there's the warship lurking:
Ultimately, the quest failed. We were not able to find a beach in Kota Kinabalu, at least in a reasonable walking distance from the center. Could always take a boat to the island nearby, but that's 7 USD one way. And probably 20 USD if you want to go back.
I probably sound upset, do I?
Not at all. I know a perfect activity in this city - updating cringel.com.
And if that's done, Mount Kota Kinabalu, Orangutans and other attractions are waiting just outside the city.

|Maintaining your Fixture
|| Print |
| (Back to FAQs)
How do I keep my light clean?
Like any other reef keeping equipment, our lights need to be maintained to help keep them running propelry.
Always power off your light while clenaing them.
1. Keep the vents of your light clear. Thais can be done by using a Q-tip or a can of air to remove the dust/salt buildup. We recommend doing this every 2 months.
2. Salt is an enemy to most materials, you should use a damp rag and tap water to wipe down your lights every month. Ensure you remove the salt from the bottom of the fixture by the LEDs . Wipe down the legs and feet and the top of the fixture. Salt loves to build up inside the heatsink fins.
That is really all that is needed to keep your lights clean.

Dipshit Employee
WTF! AYS, Dipshit Employee?
First of all, let me start with a tangent. No, I haven't forgotten about this site, and yes, I will post here more often. I've been busy working on a side project – negotiating prices between the Secret Service and their, uhhhh, secret services.
It's all classified, so if I tell you I have to kill you.
Anyway, what the fuck is up with this moron who doesn't bathe, dresses like a hobo (sans shopping cart), and has the personality of a rabid ape thinking that he deserves a promotion?

News Item:
Shame, America. Shame.
Three New Orleans police officers are facing battery charges after investigators reviewed a videotape showing two patrolmen repeatedly punching a 64-year-old man accused of public intoxication and a third officer grabbing and shoving an Associated Press Television News producer who helped capture the confrontation on tape.Racism is the issue. If it were a white drunk the situation would have been entirely different.
Davis, who is black, was subdued at the intersection of Conti and Bourbon streets. Three of the officers appeared to be white, and the other is light skinned. The officer who hit Matthews is white. Defillo said race was not an issue.
Shame, America. Shame.

I Am Prepared To Fight. Are You?
Have you ever been in the situation where someone has said something to you and you couldn't think of a come-back, or at least not a good one? And then a few hours later when you're sitting on the couch at home by yourself, you have a light bulb moment and think of the most witty come-back ever, but you can't use it because you're too late. The moment has passed and because you weren't prepared to protect yourself you left feeling a bit deflated.
When trained soldiers are surprise-attacked, they often kick themselves into auto-pilot mode and let their vigorous training take over. They are prepared, whether it be with a weapon or a special ability, to fight back. They have been trained so well to protect themselves that they don't even need to think about it, it has become an instinct.
The same needs to happen in the spiritual world. The devil whispers in your ear things like,
"You're not as good at praying as ___, so there is no way God can use you to heal that person."
"God can't use you to bring people to him! You're too broken."
"You can't hear from God, that's only for pastors."
None of these are true yet sometimes they take us by such a surprise that if we don't have an instant response we can begin to doubt ourselves. We let fear set in and don't take the risk just in case we fail. Just in case the devil is right. Which means of course that person won't be healed by God, through you, if you won't even have the courage to pray healing over them. So not only did you not accept God's plan for your life at that time, you also affected His plan to use you to impact someone else's. All because we didn't have a come-back. We didn't have a fight song. (Thank goodness we are also covered with God's grace so He will create another way for you and that other person to access their God-given destiny.)
When you come under spiritual attack you need to have an automatic come-back that you have instilled in your heart to protect you from the lies of the enemy. And what better way to do that than with the sword of God (the Word).
Jesus had an auto come-back. When he was in the desert and the devil was trying to tempt him into using his supernatural abilities and to worship him instead of God, Jesus replied with, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'" (See Luke 4)
Jesus instilled the word of God in his heart and because of that, he was able to shut the devil down.
I have been working on my fight song for a few years now. Meditating on scripture that I feel reflects the goodness and greatness of God so that when I come under attack, I am prepared.
Isaiah 54:17 says, "No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper."
And I have taken that verse and spoken it over every circumstance I have had to face these past few years. And I tailor it to the situation too. When I am scared about anything I say, out-loud and very sternly, NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST MY SAFETY/FINANCES/MARRIAGE/FAMILY/FAITH/HEALTH SHALL PROSPER
I have repeated Isaiah 54:17 so many times that I even say it in my dreams now. The devil can't even get to me in my sleep anymore! Because I have instilled it in my heart. I have trained myself. I am prepared.
1 Samuel 17:37 says, "The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine."
If God has pulled you through a hard time in the past, He can do it again. Declare that verse over your life.
Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all this through Him who gives me strength."
I can't tell you how many times I declared that over myself when faced with a difficult case in clinic. And that verse is for you too.
Psalm 23 speaks of the Lord has our shepherd. If you are unsure of where you are going in your life you need to instill that Psalm in your heart so that you can declare it over yourself daily and accept God's guiding hand.
I am prepared to fight the enemies lies against me and, through constant interaction with God, continue to be more prepared each day. Are you?

The tech industry is awash in software and services designed to improve how we learn everything from Ruby on Rails to the piano. But one upstart that's trying to rethink education is pretty old school.
General Assembly opened in New York in 2011, in part to offer cheap office space to startups. Today, it's a school that offers in-person classes on topics like Web design and marketing in 12 cities, including New York, London and Hong Kong. More than 8,000 students will graduate from its longer courses in 2014, up from 3,100 in 2013.
Tuition ranges from around $10,000 for full-time courses that run for two or three months to a few thousand dollars for part-time classes. The company has raised $49 million from investors including Yuri Milner, Jeff Bezos and Institutional Venture Partners; its backers see a huge opportunity in the booming demand for technical skills and aim to build an industry leader that could one day go public.
General Assembly largely targets young, tech-savvy professionals who want to boost their resumes. Yet it's cautious about the tech industry's love affair with online learning, viewing virtual courses as a supplement to rather than a replacement for the classroom.
The Information sat down with CEO Jake Schwartz, 36, and co-founder Brad Hargreaves, 28, to discuss the growth of General Assembly's corporate business, Kaplan's acquisition of a competitor, the "unbundling" of education and more. An edited transcript of the joint interview is below.

NEW YORK - Federal authorities orchestrated one of the biggest Mafia takedowns in FBI history Thursday, charging 127 suspected mobsters and associates in the Northeast with murders, extortion and other crimes spanning decades.
Past investigations have resulted in strategic strikes aimed at crippling individual crime families. This time, authorities used a shotgun approach, with about 800 federal agents and police officers making scores of simultaneous arrests stemming from different mob investigations in New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island.
They also used fanfare: Attorney General Eric Holder made a trip to New York to announce the operation at a news conference with the city's top law-enforcement officials.
As of late Thursday, 125 had been arrested.
Holder called the arrests "an important and encouraging step forward in disrupting La Cosa Nostra's operations." But he and others also cautioned that the mob, while having lost some of the swagger of the John Gotti era, is known for adapting to adversity and finding new ways of making money and spreading violence.
"Members and associates of La Cosa Nostra are among the most dangerous criminals in our country," Holder said. "The very oath of allegiance sworn by these Mafia members during their initiation ceremony binds them to a life of crime."
In the past, the FBI has aggressively pursued and imprisoned the leadership of the city's five Italian mob families, only to see ambitious underlings fill the vacancies, said Janice Fedarcyk, head of the FBI's New York office.
However, the FBI has gained a recent advantage by cultivating a crop of mob figures willing to wear wires and testify against gangsters in exchange for leniency in their own cases.
In the latest cases, authorities say turncoats recorded thousands of conversations of suspected mobsters. Investigators also tapped their phones.
The deluge of defendants Thursday forced the FBI to move processing - normally done at its lower Manhattan headquarters - to a gym at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn. The defendants, most arrested in raids at dawn, stood in line in handcuffs while waiting to be photographed and fingerprinted.
Among those arrested Thursday were union officials, two former police officers and a suspect in Italy. High-ranking members of the Gambino and Colombo crime families and the reputed former boss of organized crime in New England also were named in 16 federal indictments unsealed Thursday.
The indictments listed colorful nicknames - Bobby Glasses, Vinny Carwash, Jack the Whack, Johnny Cash, Junior Lollipops - and cataloged murders, extortion, arson and other crimes dating back 30 years.
One of the indictments charges a reputed Gambino boss, Bartolomeo Vernace, in a double murder in the Shamrock Bar in Queens in a dispute over a spilled drink. Another charges an alleged Colombo captain, Anthony Russo, in the 1993 hit on an underboss during the family's bloody civil war.
Russo, 49, and Vernace, 61, pleaded not guilty in federal court and were ordered held without bail.

My Role
Visual design, physical computing, concept and narrative development, and soft-fabrication,
The game space is rear projected onto a flat surface at the top of the structure, with the project housed inside the structure. There are four owls, Hooty, Owliver, Barnardo, and Tawny. Each of these owls have their own designs, which correspond to each player.
Look and feel Prototype
Our first look and feel prototype is constructed out of a cup with a head on the top. The owl controllers needed to have two elements: a potentiometer to control the direction of the game owls, and a switch to launch the owls to their next position. Originally, we wanted to adopt "flip-dots" into the project for the owl's eyes. However, we abandoned the idea in the final product because we could not find a purpose for them other than aesthetics. The potentiometer is located beneath the head of the owl, and is essentially the neck.. Inside the podium, where the owl sits, is the switch that launches the owl.
First step in the owl fabrication is to create the actual plushies themselves. The owls are made using up-cycled and unwanted materials, with each of the four owls' has each of their own patterns. In using different materials for each owl, players' will be able to distinguish their owl from others. whiles playing the game. Aaron made three of the the four heads, and I made the last head and owl's bodies.
Initially, we wanted to make our own potentiometers. Potentiometers operate by laying two pieces on top of each other. One side has conductive ink laid down in a radial pattern. The piece on top also has conductive ink, which acts as a needle. The owl's heads are attached to the top piece. When the player turns the owl's head, it also turns the potentiometer, changing the owls direction. We quickly abandoned handmade potentiometers. Through playtesting, we found that handmade potentiometers were unreliable, often giving off random and unusable values. Instead, we switched over to regular potentiometers, situating them in the same manner.
Pressure Sensor
Initially, we thought the switch would be located inside the podium that the owls sit on top of. However, we decided to make the switches sit inside the bellies of the owls. We found that having the switch in the bellies allowed for a more fluid motion and play movement. When players are playing the game, they tend to hold the owls' bodies with one hand, with the other on the head. In placing the switch in the belly, players do not have to take their hands off the owls to launch them, they can just squeeze the bellies without moving their hands.
Dylan was in charge of creating the structure for the game. The structure was important to the game experience because of the way we wanted players to view the game. The setup of the game was a very conscious decision. We did not want the players to sit in front of a screen. We wanted the experience to feel more immersive and less detached. Our solution was to have a table-like structure where players each occupy a corner. In order to do this, we need to project the game, but it had to be rear-projected so that players heads do not block the projections. The sides were closed off to preserve the integrity of the projection. Lastly, I created illustrations of the four characters for the sides of the structure.
Once the plushies were made, and switches were in place, I soldered everything together. Each of the owls had their own sets of wires for their pressure sensor and potentiometer. It was pertinent that these wires had to be kept separate and neat to ensure the owls functioned properly. Once everything was soldered, Dylan bolted the owls to the their respective corners. Lastly, the software. Yuchen built the game's foundation, while Dylan and Aaron refined it.
Owl Prowl was installed at Babycastles for a week from December 8 to December 15 2017. Below is the team (from left to right) Dylan, Aaron, me, and Yuchen.

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
For cancer patients, a change in self-image can be triggered by a number of factors and have damaging side effects, including depression, insomnia and social isolation. Cancer and its treatment affect each patient differently, and can have many physical impacts, including:
Any of these changes can greatly affect how patients feel about themselves, leading to a change in self-image and increasing the risk of other detrimental side effects like anxiety and depression. These psychological challenges can shake patients' resolve, which is essential to maintaining the stamina and positive attitude that can serve as tools in the fight against cancer. Self-image often has little to do with how others actually view the person. It is a personal experience, and may be managed with interventions designed to boost self-confidence.
Body image affects cancer patients of all ages, demographics and cancer types, according to an analysis of studies by the American Cancer Society. The analysis concluded that prostate cancer survivors were more likely to have positive body images than men with other types of cancer. For women, those with a history of cancer recurrence, multiple cancers or metastatic cancer were more apt to express negative body images.
Because body image is an emotional reaction to physical changes, mind-body therapists are well-equipped with a variety of tools to help. One of the most common ways to manage a poor self-image is through talk therapy—to acknowledge it, and address it head on with the guidance of a trained professional. Therapeutic counseling sessions are also available to couples and families.
The mind-body therapists at Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) may also recommend image enhancement services, which offer spa and salon services to help patients look and feel their best. On-site services include:

I walked in the garden in the early morning hours with day breaking over my head like the exemplary ones described in poetry containing adjectives like golden, azure, brilliant, crisp… like the first day of creation. It was breathtaking to look across the breadth of the valley to see the far off hills in muted purples framed with a fiery orange hue. When I looked up to the plum orchard on the crest of the little hill toward which I was walking, I saw that a gentle bright green tinge (almost garish against the backdrop of darker grass and molting leaves) has been spreading unnoticed beneath our windows signaling that Nature has given her silent warning and all rooted beings stand now like sentinels alert awaiting her final cue after which having been sounded, everything will simultaneously explode in every imaginable color and hue. The sweet winterlings, crocuses and snowdrops, the first blossoms of the season, always charm my heart. It amazes me that they are so tiny, the merest breath of filigree, yet are the first to break through the surface of the still frozen earth like joyful intimations that the promised end to the bleakness of winter will be kept.
The sweet songbirds are returning in small groups, scouting out the best trees wherein to build their nests with the most excellent views and a constant source of food. Their happy twitter cannot help but make me happy within and I find myself, like Walt Disney's Cinderella, singing along whilst occupying my hands with the drudgery of cleaning and packing. There are scores of ravens in the still barren vineyards who observe the frenetic hither and thither of these colorful and chatty upstarts with apparent scepticism and obvious annoyance.
They avoid anything that might be construed as a neighborly social obligation opting, instead, to observe in stoic silence while searching out shiny things dropped by wanderers on the paths which they harvest for their solitary perches. We have a special affinity, the ravens and I. Sometimes when I pass by, they fly to lower perches and tell me things with their heads cocked peering at me with glittering eyes. Other times they share their silence with me. But how could I not love the dear little songbirds who are so cheery and playful?
Yes… packing and shiny things. I have been having a dreadful time with this business of sorting and discarding. I thought I was relatively free of material things but, well, as books count as material, I am having to free myself from that minimalistic illusion. How did I manage to gather so many books since arriving in Germany? I have this obsession about a proper library being the quintessential symbol of stabilitas in loci. So to give up my books is to me tantamount to losing my hearth and home. I have tried to sort but have managed to retrieve almost every book that I had placed in the "to donate" box relocating them with reckless abandon to one of the now precariously stacked mounds with the designation "to ship." The other things are easy to part with but, alas, those are less weighty than leather-bound tomes.
I have a lovely acquaintance who is Buddhist. Each years she has a "Ten-Things-Tea-dance." It is somewhat of a misnomer as there is no dancing to be had but her roasted, toasted Japanese teas are quite extraordinary. In any case, she invites her friends and acquaintances to gather and after she has chosen just ten things that she wishes to keep, she allows everyone to take what they wish of her remaining things. When I say "ten things" I do mean exactly "ten things." No more. No less. She likes it when many friends avail themselves to her things as they are easier to visit now and then in their new surroundings than that which is donated. That is what happens to everything left over. Japanese tea is a wonderful thing. Perhaps I shall take up reading tea leaves… they are certainly lighter, more transportable, infinitely more practical and they always contain the makings of a different tale at the bottom of each teacup. New perspectives. Indeed.

The Bush campaign has new ad (which can be seen here and is entitled "Coalition of the Wild-eyed") in which scenes from a TV ad created by Kerry supporters at MoveOn.org are spliced with images of Al "he betrayed this country" Gore, Dick "miserable failure" Gephardt, Michael "experiment gone wrong" Moore, and John F'n Kerry. Slate and Citizen Smash seem to think these ads are suggesting that Kerry is somehow equal to Hitler.
Have these people actually watched the ad? The purpose of the ad is to show just how wacky many of Kerry's supporters are. Listening to these clips, you can't help but marvel at how stark, raving mad with Bush-hatred these people are. The Hitler images are showing mainstream America that it is the LEFT that thinks "Bushitler" is the same Hitler (Kerry is waaaay too boring an orator to compare). Many of Kerry's supporters are loons of the first degree, and if Bush's crazed supporters were half as vocal I can guarantee the media would never let go of it. Turn-around is fair-play; Kerry should pay a price for having these wackos on his side. Clinton certainly took advantage of lumping the people who thought he killed Vince Foster in with the rest of his opponents. Apparently Democrats can dish it, but not take it.
And have no doubt that people compare Bush and not Kerry to Hitler. A simple google search, revealed over 500,000 hits for Bush and Hitler and only 156,000 for Kerry and Hitler (all of which on the first page were discussing the aforementioned ad). To give you some idea of the craziness of the Bushitler crowd, just visit here, for a list of wild conspiracy theories that are even crazier than the Vince Foster murder stories (which were made semi-plausible by the general sleaziness of "because I could" Clinton).
