This is a very complicated problem that may happen when installing your Hp software. This may happen when you installed the software previously on an external hard drive that has already been removed. The registry keys that point to the installation address may still be present that is why during installation it tries to find the non-existent drive. This would then give you and Invalid Drive error message when Installing HP Software.
Solution to Error 1327:
All you need to do is make a virtual drive with the letter matching the invalid drive's.
- Go to command prompt. Click on Run and type CMD and press ok.
- In the command prompt type the command:
Syntax:Subst (invalid drive letter): (existing drive letter):
Example: Subst I: C:
UPDATE Febuary 6, 2009:
I would like to thank Zalia for inspiring me to seek and destroy the root cause of this problem. The solution above is still effective however it does not fully remove the root cause of the problem which are registry keys pointing to an invalid drive. Before I continue I would like to inform everybody that the next steps involves editing registry keys and if not done properly it may affect your systems stability and performance. Advanced knowledge is needed.
The Ultimate Fix: (i will not elaborate more on simple steps as I am expecting only advanced users to tackle this step.)
You need to go to "REGEDIT" by typing "REGEDIT" on the RUN dialog box and inspect the following keys on your registry. Pictures are provided for each area on your registry as an example, to show you some views on a normal registry entry for a certain local drive C. If it does not point to the correct drive you may right click and modify it to the correct drive letter.
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Folders
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders
Make sure that directory paths on the right side is on a correct/existing drive. If it is using an invalid drive right click and modify the directory path by changing the drive letter to a correct one.
As you may see on the comments below. This article has proven itself to have a high resolution rate and is definitely worth trying. For the record, this solution also works with other software installation problems as well for the following:
Napoleon Total War (It was a Steam Program Issue) , Adobe, Gigaware, Camtasia Studio, Microsoft Activesync, Turbo Tax, Lexmark, and more!

Wallflower the New Breakfast Club
- Friday, September 28, 2012
Even with a tight-knit community of friends around him, Charlie still can't help trying to fit in, no matter the cost. So he experiments with alcohol, drugs and clandestine games of "Truth or Dare." While all these shenanigans are the stuff of every high school movie ever made, it's the secret lives of the main characters that ultimately have the most dramatic impact. Shown in flashback, these revelations give further insight into why Charlie, in particular, is the way that he is. It's heart-breaking stuff, and you can't help wanting to give all these kids a big hug.
Thanks to a sheer lack of schlock in the script and strong acting - particularly from Watson who definitely makes a favorable impression in her first major post-Hogwarts role with a flawless American accent to boot - The Perks of Being a Wallflower will definitely resonate with teenagers and basically anyone who feels like s/he doesn't fit in.
This updated Breakfast Club is a just-as-uncomfortable reminder of how hard high school can be without a few friends along for the ride. For people who have faith to lean on, it's a troubling memo about the fallen world we live in and how we need to be intentional about showing love to everyone who feels alone.
- Language/Profanity: The occasional use of he--, bit--, as-, plus one f-word. Sh-- is also used several times. A handful of gay slurs and euphemisms for sexual acts, plus God's name taken in vain or paired with da--.
- Sex/Nudity: Several conversations, some more explicit than others, about "hooking up," and most of the teens are admittedly engaging in pre-marital relations. Several couples are shown kissing and touching each other at parties. Sam admits she's already had multiple sexual partners and started at age 11 after her dad's boss kissed her. Charlie fondles a girl's breasts. Patrick is unabashedly gay, and at one point, Charlie catches him making out with the resident football jock, Brad. Patrick and Brad start a relationship, and we hear about their drunken sex and how Brad's father condemns their actions. Patrick briefly kisses Charlie, and in one scene is dressed in high heels and a bustier. One character reflects on being molested as a child. Virginity pledges are made fun of.
- Drugs/Alcohol: Underage drinking and cigarette smoking is depicted. Drugs, including hash and LSD are used recreationally at parties. We see Charlie hallucinate after popping LSD.
- Violence: When Brad's father caught his son having sex with Patrick, he beat him (he has unsightly bruises and puffy eyes as a result). Feeling embarrassed by what he's done, Brad enlists the football team to not only make his life miserable by teasing him, but making sure they pound him senseless, too. Some fighting is shown after Charlie stands up for Patrick. A girl is slapped by her own boyfriend. Charlie feels bad after his aunt dies, thinking he's the one who wanted her to. Mention of Charlie's friend's suicide. Fears that Charlie may hurt himself are confirmed, but before he acts out, help arrives.
- Spiritual Content: While Charlie's family is Catholic, faith is more about going through the motions. You'll see them taking Communion or saying the Lord's Prayer in one scene, then taking His name in vain in another. One of the characters says her beliefs are "punk" and "Buddhist."

Statistics are consistent in that 70 to 80% of people who start an exercise program drop out within the first two to three months! The main reasons are usually because the exercise regimens become dull and are not producing the results the person wanted. Imagine taking a trip somewhere you've never been with no directions or starting a business with no business plan. Personal training is like a defined road map to get you there.

Mediocre 4.0
Customer service was extremely poor, we had to wait in long lines as the front desk was chronically understaffed. It took about 30 minutes to get a phone call through to the front desk. They even had long lines to check out! (the TV app to check out was not working). The bathroom was dirty, and the air everywhere was heavily perfumed (I guess to cover up some other "smell"?) I had a headache from the smell of the place starting from the first 30 minutes of my stay, till the end. Almost every cash/ATM machine was empty (I literally had to visit seven to find one with cash). I can only assume that's by design so they can rape you for 8.75% for cash from a credit card at their cashier.
Poor 2.0
Dirty. The sheets and room smelled like cigarette smoke in the non smoking rooms. Roaches in the bath tub. Housekeeping did not come by and change sheets as I asked them too. Carpet in hallways was littered. Dirty hotel. More like a motel.

Liked the atmosphere, it was well decorated in the common areas, had many different places to eat at different budgets and tastes. The dolphins were great.
We went on the weekend so it was too hard to get anything, all over crowded. Couldn't get a drink at a bar. Service was stretched and fairly poor. The pool was a joke, could not get into it and it was hot weather. This was really a disappointment, pointless staying at a hotel with a pool if you cant use the pool because its too crowded. Everyone doing hand to hand combat to get a lounge and staff no help. Really a case of too many rooms and under catered for in the hotel amenities.

An innovation into how beer is served at one Virginia bar has state regulators paying closer attention as to the legalities of the invention.
Beer pops are served by Alexandria restaurateur Frank Morales in a variety of sizes and flavors like "Raspbeer-y" and "Fudgesicle." But state regulators say that the frozen treats violate rules governing the sale of alcohol.
Morales began selling the frozen beer pops last week at Rustico Restaurant to customers looking for a more adult way to beat the heat. After weeks of testing hundreds of beer varieties to find flavors that worked, Morales finally decided on three flavors.
"Raspbeer-y," made with a Belgian, fruit-style beer; "Plum," made from a Belgian Lambic brew; and the "Fudgesicle," made with a stout with bittersweet chocolate undertones.
But Philip Disharoon, special agent in charge of the Alexandria division of the Virginia ABC, said beer must be served in its original container or served immediately to a customer once it is poured from its original container.
In the meantime, a spokesperson for the restaurant said that they were working hard to ensure that the beer pops complied with state regulation.

MONDAY, Feb. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Educating kidney transplant
patients about their risk for skin cancer helps increase rates of
skin self-examination and follow-up with a dermatologist,
researchers have found.
"In the United States, an estimated 100,000 living kidney transplant recipients are at risk to develop cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma [malignant tumors occurring in the skin that can spread to other organs]," wrote Dr. June K. Robinson, of the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, and colleagues.
"Most kidney transplant recipients with a first squamous cell carcinoma develop multiple skin cancers within five years, and some develop more than 100 skin cancers within a year," they noted.
The new study included 75 kidney transplant recipients returning
for routine care with their kidney specialist between one and seven
years after they had their transplant. The patients were randomly
assigned to an intervention group (38) or a control group (37).
The patients in the intervention group were given printed
educational materials to promote skin self-examination. The
patients in the control group did not receive the educational
Follow-up revealed that patients in the intervention group were
much more likely to perform skin self-examinations than those in
the control group -- 89 percent vs. 22 percent.
None of the eight control group patients who performed skin
self-examinations found areas of concern. But 12 of the 34
intervention group patients who checked their skin did find areas
of concern and all 12 made follow-up appointments with a
dermatologist, the study authors noted.
"The educational intervention effectively increased awareness of the kidney transplant recipients' risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma and provided sufficient training to enhance self-efficacy in their ability to detect an area of concern," the researchers concluded.
The findings were published in the Feb. 21 online edition and in
the June print issue of the
Archives of Dermatology.

Would A Youth-Run Computer Lab Last?
Cliff posted more than 13 years ago | from the I-wish-I-could-have-done-this-when-I-was-a-kid dept.30
Dragon218 writes "Recently, I have been chosen to be part of a team of computer savvy youths who have been tasked to build and maintain a computer lab. We are probably going to get around $100,000 in grant money. The idea is to have it be a public lab, the trick being the users would help in commercial Web design or other projects to raise money to keep it active. I'd like a reality check on this. Also, if any of you have ideas to help this thing along, I (don't like to use the pronoun 'we' without the group's consent_ would appreciate it. If you would like more information about the group sponsoring it, you can check out http://brycchouse.org." Assuming the people in question know what they are doing, I don't see a problem with this at all, do you? Good luck, Dragon218.

I make this every year and it is by far the best corned beef recipe I have ever had....the only change I make is that I add a head of cabbage cut into wedges to the top of the crockpot about an 1/2 hour to an hour before I serve the meal...since I like my cabbage a little on the crispy side
Guinness-Braised Beef Brisket
fairydragonstar Posted: 03/10/11
dory92064 Posted: 02/03/09
Good solid recipe and nice change from the usual boiled corn beef. I used the whole can of Guinnes and reduced the water accordingly -- next time will reduce the brown sugar, otherwise great flavor. Served with sweet & sour red cabbage and parsley red potatoes.
nolamom Posted: 03/18/09
So good! My Irish husband has been asking for corned beef on St. Pat's ever since I've known him, and I finally found a recipe I thought would work for a weeknight. I used all Guinness for the liquid..no water..and 1/4 tsp ground cloves as I did not have whole ones. Otherwise, made as specified and there was none left! Next time, I will add some cabbage at the end, and he will truly be over the moon!
jbidaho Posted: 12/05/08
This is so good! It just melts in your mouth! Good for sandwiches or a main dish!
BethAnne Posted: 02/18/09
So good and so easy. I excluded the dill used extra Guinness. I cooked it on low for about 11 or 12 hours. Very tender and yummy. I kept the cooking liquid, strained the veggies out and made it into a gravy. Served it over mashed potatoes with the veggies from the cooking liquid on the side... will makes again.
gingersme Posted: 02/20/10
Best corned beef I have ever made! So many people have asked for this recipe. I recently served this with Brussels sprouts salad (minus the lettuce) from this website, mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. The last time I made this I needed my crock pot to keep the potatoes warm, so I cooked the brisket in a 12-inch high-sided saute pan covered with foil @ 300 degrees for 4 1/2 hours. There was no difference in taste or flavor for this adjustment.
KellyfromTifton Posted: 03/17/10
I use this same recipe every year and it is always a big big hit with my husband and two boys...ages 4 and 6. Didn't have cloves or peppercorns so I used 1/4 t gd cloves and 1 t ground pepper. Turns out wonderful every single time. Chip up the meat and don't discard the broth too quickly...use a little over the meat and freeze leftovers. We love good sourdough and always Ken's 1000Island dressing and Silver Floss Sauerkraut. So good. Can't say enough about it. Try it.
YvonneDF Posted: 03/17/09
This was incredibly good! My family asked me to make this again! After reading the reviews, I revised the recipe to 2 Cups of Guinness Stout & 1 Cup of Water. I left out the dill. Added @8 whole cloves. The best revision was chopping the vegetables larger. The carrots were delish! The only down-side to the recipe, it was so good. No leftovers! When I make this recipe again, I will add cabbage the last few hours of cooking.
JoSittig Posted: 03/15/09
WOW!! GREAT favor and delicious! I made this for company last weekend and we all loved it!! It was easy to make in the crock pot. The recipe says to discard the juices but we loved it over the brisket. This will be a recipe I'll make again and again! We made an 11 pound brisket so we tripled all the ingredients. We served roasted potatoes and aspargus and salad with this meal.
smellgar Posted: 11/25/09
This is one of our household favorites. My husband asks for it all the time and I've made it for company with great success. I have used all different types of beer and it still comes out great. I find the vegetables a bit mushy after 8 hours in the crock pot, so if I can, I add them after about 3 hours have passed.
wilckepedia Posted: 04/26/10
Made this as part of a two dinner night. I cut all the veggies and prepped the crock pot, then put the whole thing in the fridge. Added the meat the next morning, let it cook all day and turned out fantastic. We used a spicy corned beef and loved it.
JerseyGirl1 Posted: 03/20/11
I made this for our annual St Pattys Party. HUGE hit! Everybody went nuts for it. Definitely a keeper.
sprater1 Posted: 01/29/12
I added wedges of cabbage with 1.5 hours left in the cooking time. Cut the carrots and celery into 2-3" lengths for cooking and then sliced into bite-sized pieces for serving. Cooked for 8 hours on High. Like others, I put the cooking liquids into a pan (strained) and turned into a gravy with some milk/flour. Served with the cooking veggies and mashed potatoes in a bowl. My kids (8 and 6) love it! So did my husband. A merlot paired nicely with the meal.
Ketamom Posted: 04/03/12
I didn't have as much success with this one as most of the other reviewers. My family found it too sweet. I don't know if my crock pot is too hot, but after several hours on high, it was bubbling too vigorously. I turned it down to low for the last few hours. When I pulled the crock out of the base there was burned juices all over - a real mess to clean up. Do not plan to make this again.
ribbitthis Posted: 08/02/12
A family favorite. We make this at least twice a year. I use 1/2 the called for sugar because it is a little too sweet otherwise
BlueeyedSara7 Posted: 03/16/12
Followed the recipe exactly and loved it. Definitely will make again.
xxjenxx Posted: 10/19/13

Don't believe "mommy wars" exist? Well, then you should have been at an Easter egg hunt Sunday at Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo. It was an all-out mom brawl, and all over a few Easter eggs.
According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, it happened during an event for 4- to 6-year-old children. It started when one woman was trying to help her own kid snatch up some eggs and she pushed another child aside. Oh yes, she did.
When the pushed child's mother saw what happened, the two started fighting. They "had to be separated three or four times". There was cursing, children crying, and one woman was left with a bloody nose. At an Easter egg hunt!
What an example to set there, ladies. Seriously, how sad is that? I get wanting to help your kid and not see him disappointed if he doesn't get any eggs, but pushing another child is just out of line no matter what the reason. It's such a blatant and sobering example of ultra-competitive parents.
Now, I think any mom who says she's not competitive when it comes to her kids is lying. Maybe just to herself, but it's impossible to not want the best for your children, to want to help them get ahead. However, there's a big difference between wanting them to succeed and encouraging them, and becoming a psycho who will mow down anything or anyone who gets in their way.
While this is extreme, it happens subtly all the time too. There are moms who try to negotiate their kids' grades with teachers, or go to elaborate lengths to try and secure them friends, or push them so hard to excel at school and sports that they're pushing their children toward a breaking point. There's a line between helping your child succeed and pushing them to succeed at all costs no matter who gets hurt. The price the poor children pay for the latter is heartbreakingly high.
What examples do you see of competitive parenting?
Image via phil41dean/Flickr
We do an Easter egg hunt at my husband's grandmother's home. Our daughter (who is 3) still has a hard time grasping the concept of "hunting for Easter eggs". She skipped over a bunch of eggs so I went out to help her... I was pointing to an egg and another kid (9 or 10) grabbed it right as she was reaching for it.... If it wasn't a family thing I would of said something to that kid. I wasn't mad that she didn't get very many eggs.. it's just the principle behind it.
Competitive parents are everywhere... including "my kid potty trained at 1 year" "oh yeah well my kid potty trained at 10 months" It's just ridiculous and I for one am fed up with it all!
I won't ever take my kids to a public egg hunt again. I HATE those parents who drag 1 year old who couldn't care less out and snatch up eggs. When my daughter was 2, she was just getting the experience for the first time, and because I didn't help her at all, wasn't grabbing eggs, she didn't get any. I had her in an area just for 2 year olds, but the other parents were acting like we were grabbing for cash. No thank you, never again.
I am not a fan of public easter egg hunts, too many pushy parents. Easter is something I much prefer to keep as a family thing. I don't get the parents who do the work for their kids, I think that's setting them up for problems later on.
S houln,t it be controlled better? Like parents behind a fence maybe?
:) we went to a public egg hunt recently, and parents were BANNED from the gated area that lil ones were getting eggs in... some kids just ARENT into the egg hunt thing, i have one that will pick up one egg and say he is bored, and i have a one who can out egg-hunt any one , ANY time, she ROCKS IT at hunts (rocks, eggs, other people....) they are just different personalities.. i get that.. but when you push a child and you are a GROWN PERSON, you deserve an @$$whooping.
YIKES! This past year was our first time egg hunting, and it was a great time, just coworkers and thier kids ages 4 months to 6 years. The oldest two got the most eggs, but it was fun being outside watching the kids run around, or be carried in the 4 month olds case. I think it can be for any age, but I wouldn't do it with people I didn't know sounds like a hassle. Their wasn't any competitiveness at all with all of us, it was a really good time.
yes I like the commet from Roy Bradley. Parents behind a fence but forgot the muzzels so they cant talk

Jesus, enough with the old-news posts already! Why not a post about the upcoming changes announced at 2:30 pm today on the forums. Here they are, since you missed the link in the shadow priest post:
- We're going to make Holy Concentration scale with spell crit instead of just a flat %
- Divine Hymn now does a short duration heal over time effect in addition to it's crowd-control capability, and is now baked into a lot of Holy talents (Holy Reach, Divine Providence etc.)
- We improved Blessed Recovery so that it now works like Ignite (Mage), where each crit gets added into the periodic heal over time and refreshes the duration.
- Lightwell - You can now see how many charges are left in the Lightwell by clicking on it.
Do these changes mitigate the nerfs? If not, why not? What are your thoughts on the announcement that Holy is going to be the best AoE healer/o crap healer and Disc a strong individual healer? What does Blizz have to do to get there?
That's the article we want to read. In other words, less QQ more PEW PEW WoWInsider!

Temp for a 7hr dutch oven pork roast
- corbmonster Jan 9, 2013 10:03 PM
Hi Chowhounds! I've been viewing your community for a while now, and I'm glad I joined. Love the web site! I got my first dutch oven (lodge cast iron), and I'm cooking for a party at my place Friday (< 2 days). And It's going to cook while I'm at work. So, about 7 hrs cook time. Is that too long for 350? Should I take it down to 300? Even lower? I'll be picking it up tomorrow. I was looking for a 7-8 pound range bone in, but I'd be willing to go as high as 9 lbs (I can't be picky: small town, not much selection). It's to feed 6 people, and to have left overs for me during the semester.
Secondary question: This is how I plan to cook, does it sound good? I'll put a rub on it and let it season over night. Rosemary, thyme, anise, fennel, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, sage, maybe a packet of onion gravy mix. After browning veggies, and roast add white cooking wine, chicken broth, and water (two cups total liquid) to dutch oven. Or, should I not marinate, and just brown it, and add the seasonings to the broth, wine mix? Is that enough liquid, or too much? Thanks for helping the noob!
i would cook it at a lower temp for that long a time. 275 even?
as to your second question, i think you have a lot of conflicting seasoning there, for me. i would maybe get rid of the paprika, sage and onion gravy mix (the latter for sure) and keep the rest. you're not putting your veggies in for 7 hours, are you? i think they will be a bit mushy. but maybe at that low a temp they'll be ok.
your pork should be super tender! have a great party!
I would absolutely not bake something for 7 hours and not be home to monitor it. It's not worth the possible fire risk.
re: NavyMom89
+1 on all counts.
Roast it at a lower temp. I agree on 250-275
Absolutely brown it first. That's where all the flavor is. I'd still rub it with salt, pepper, garlic and briwn sugar the night before.
And DONT leave something cooking in your oven unattended, especially for 7 hours.
Also skip the "cooking wine.". It's vile stuff. Use a drinkable real wine or just stock/broth
re: C. Hamster
White wine ok?
Just me, but I would trust my home oven better than a crockpot.......the latter catching fire before the oven would. I regularly roast Pork Shoulder overnight while I'm sleeping.....I'm home, but not monitoring it at all.
7 hours at 350 would make the roast inedible and the vegetables like baby food. A covered braise will also cook much faster than uncovered.....I suggest even lower at 200-225.
re: fourunder
Roasting uses dry heat, while braising uses moist heat, such as is created in a dutch oven when liquid is added. It sounds as though you actually want to braise the meat.
If cooking for that length of time, you need to use an appropriate cut of meat. It needs to be high in fat and connective tissue, because they will help to retain the sensation of the meat being moist, even as it cooks for a long period. If you use a lean cut, the meat will be dry after 7 hours, even if braised. A pork shoulder is fine.
Once the surface has been browned, there's no need for it to be cooked at anything higher than a temperature sufficient to denature collagen into gelatin. That occurs over a range of temperatures, but 160F (which is higher than strictly necessary) can be used.
If you cook it at 350F, you'll destroy it. It 'fall off the bone', but only because you'll have annihilated the protein so thoroughly that no structure or texture remains. Even if you do cook it at a low temperature (<200F), I doubt that it will retain enough structure to carve it. As FED said, it's going to be pulled pork.
Thank you for the replies! I think I'll go with 250. I will be coming home at lunchtime to check it. I could add the veggies in then. So at most it will be a few hrs unsupervised. And I don't see how it's any worse than a crock pot on the counter top. Thanks @Mariacarmen, and @c.hamster for the advise. Do you think 2 cups liquid will be enough? Oh, it's going to be a pork shoulder btw, someone asked.
re: corbmonster
Its worse than a crockpot because your oven likely has flammable grease/debris in it that is exposed to the heating elements.
I for one would never ever leave the house with something in the oven unless it was a very quick trip.
Since it's a shoulder have you considered making pulled pork with it?
re: C. Hamster
I considered pulled pork. But I really wanted to make a roast.
re: corbmonster
7 hours at 275, in a cover pot ... it's going to be pulled pork whatever you call it. and please, PLEASE be sure that you use a shoulder, butt or fresh ham, some very well-marbled cut. this is NOT the way to cook a loin (sorry for shouting, but i'm passionate about pork).
and after 35 years of cooking, I have never had anything come remotely close to catching fire in my oven. you'll be fine.
re: corbmonster
i personally would have no problem leaving the oven on that low for a few hours.
i think your liquid amount is fine.
re: mariacarmen
Well, if you have a fire, your insurance might well not cover you if you leave....
re: Karl S
That's true
re: corbmonster
IMO still too long if you are looking for pork roast vs. pulled at that temp.
I think 4-5 hours at 225-250 will get you in the ballpark of the 145F. you'd want for pork roast.
I would salt/season 24 hours in advance and then slow roast. There is a recent thread here about this treatment for inexpensive cuts of beef which I have had crazy success with. It needs to rest for a couple of hours, too.
No concerns here about leaving oven on unattended, but I have a reliable late model electric oven. Gas with a standing pilot I would be sketchier on for unattended use, but probably still do it.
Ok, I got my 8.5 lbs pork shoulder. My plan is to trim it here shortly. Season with salt, pepper, and saran wrap it. Come home for lunch, braise it in dutch oven, bake at 225-250. Have it in there about 12:45, to about 4:30, so almost 4 hrs. Take it out, let it rest (dinner at 6). Maybe keep it in off / warm oven to keep it warm. Sound good?
re: corbmonster
ooh, well, now, that's a big roast. i think you could go longer. at my sister's, in a rotisserie (not a roast, i know), we do it a 3-4 lb. roast at 225-250 for about 5 hours and get to roast consistency.... let's see what others say about a bigger cut like that.
I see that you're getting a number of answers on the cooking time, and I'd like to help add to your confusion ;-)
I agree with the lower temperatures suggested, somewhere around 250°. Pork shoulder responds well to such temps. I also agree that a long cook will eventually yield pulled pork; in other words, too tender to slice. "Sliceable" or not will depend on internal temp. Pulled pork will come with a temp of 195-200°. At about 180-185°, you will have very tender but still firm enough to slice. While 145° is a great target temp for something like a loin or tenderloin, the fat and collagen in the shoulder cut will not have had a chance to melt or soften. It needs the higher finishing temp. Though it may be a bit less convenient, try to cook it to temp, not to time. Good luck!
Oh.... if you are cooking to temp, and the roast is done before you are ready, it will rest for as long as you need, and will benefit from it. Just remember that carryover will bring it up another 5-10°, so plan accordingly. A rest of 1/2 and hour will only need a platter and foil to cover. For a longer rest, wrap in a couple layers of foil, then wrap in one or two large towels. Place it in a cooler, preferably close in size to your "bundle", and it will still be very hot even a couple hours later. I've done this many times with barbecue, and after a couple hours a shoulder is still too hot to pull with bare hands.
re: Cheez62
Thank you for the temp guide. I think I'm going to stick to 4 hrs at 225. Unless you think it's too much. But, if it pulls apart too much, than that will be ok. Lesson learned.
re: corbmonster
Yeah, I don't see 4 hours as being enough. I've had pork butts take varying amounts of time, as any one piece of meat can be different from the others. But I've never had a piece that large come close to being done in 4 hours. Granted, I do more of these as barbecue, but I have done them in an oven as well. 8.5 lbs. is a large roast. If you're going 4 hours, I'd head back up the dial with the cooking temp.
re: Cheez62
You took the words right out of my mouth! I BBQ similar roasts at similar temps, and I've had some go 14 hours. There's that plateau at I forget what temperature that can take several hours alone to break. I am also a bit puzzled at the "too tender to slice" comment.
I cook lots of pork shoulder roasts too. I foresee tough and perhaps even raw meat at 8.5 lbs at 225 for 4 hours. Not even close. Maybe if you cube it and put it in a large or multiple braising dishes. I'd definitely go low and slow on this type of meat, but undercooking pork shoulder is a disaster- tough! It's more forgiving if done early. As someone said, wrap it in foil and towels and pop in a cooler. It'll stay 140+ for hours.
re: ttochow
Agreed. You are probably thinking of "the stall", usually somewhere around 130-140°, where it seems to be stuck forever. Ramping up the temp can help to push through that. but it still happens. I was hesitating to mention this because I don't know all of the specifics, but here goes... My sister cooked a pork butt (shoulder) on New Year's Day for pork and sauerkraut. I don't know the size, but it was large (maybe more than the 8.5 lbs. mentioned, but not much more), nor do I know the temp for sure, but I am sure it was above 300°, probably 350°. It cooked for 5-6 hours, and was not "done". It was pink in the middle, no I didn't take it's temp. We sliced the ends, returned the rest to the oven. Was it tasty? Not bad. Tender, as a shoulder cut should be? No way. Temp, not time. Foiled and coolered if needed. Always allow more time, don't cut yourself short.
re: Cheez62
Ok well, I have 2 options: 1) cook at a lower temp for a much longer time (about 7 hrs). Or, I can cook for shorter time 4 - 5.5 hrs at a higher temp (like 350). What say you? I did score it a little bit, 1/4 - 1/3 inch deep. That may decrease cooking time a little.
re: corbmonster
for that big a roast, i say go longer at the lower temp.7 hours, 250.
re: corbmonster
What would I do? Call in sick, get up about 8 am, sear it, pop it in the oven at 275. At about noon, stick a thermometer in it. Then monitor its progress through the stall. This is when the fat and collagen start melting. It cools the roast and it seems to take FOREVER to break the 140 degree mark. This depends on your roast and is hard to predict. And you want it to go through this stage.
Here is why you want to call in sick. After noon, you monitor it. Raise the temp if you start panicking. But when it reaches the desired temp, take it out and put it in a cooler. Then enjoy he party. It's cool to know your meat is ready to go, and you are just waiting for the signal.
I've done this several times, all with pork shoulder. Each time is different. I don't think there is a formula.
re: corbmonster
Most of the Google'ing I've done results in identical findings. 350 degrees 1/2 hr per lbs. After trimming the skin and fat it's 7 lbs so that puts me at 3.5 hrs. So, I say 300 for 4 hrs. That still gives me an hour to play with if it isn't done yet.
re: corbmonster
Well, that sounds better. I think at that temp, with a little time to play with, you have a better shot at a nicely done roast. I assume that the extra hour comes after you get home. Still do what ttochow says. Put a probe thermometer in it, and yes, if you panic, up the temp. If you don't think you're close enough, open another bottle of wine ;-) , longer parties are always better! Relax, it's pork shoulder - one of the most forgiving pieces of meat there is.
Please let us know how it turns out; we all want it to be delicious!
re: corbmonster
Here is a Fine Cooking link.
I've found them to be somewhat reliable time/temp wise. It seems that you are pretty close, but remember to include resting times etc. for an 8.5 lb cut, the resting time will be important.
re: ttochow
Thanks. That's pretty much what how I was going to cook. It's 7 lbs after trimming though. They are using 1 cup wine, I was going to use 2 cups of wine and broth, should I just use one? And will my veggies turn to mush during the 4 hr cook time? I think not, but pretty close to that point though.
re: corbmonster
I dunno on wine/broth. I do everything by feel or sight, and by what else is happening.
One of my favorite methods, though, is to have two sets of vegetables. I think I learned this from Jacques Pepin and Hubert Keller. Cook the roast with one set and let the veggies get mushy. In fact, separate, and mash to get all the juice. Then put in brand new veggies at the right moment (-1hour?) to get perfectly cooked veggies. It is a great technique.
Good luck. A pork shoulder roast is amazing and looks easy when cooked correctly, but truly involves skill.
re: ttochow
Thanks for the tip! And yes, my "good idea" wasn't such a bright idea :/ I wanted something to have plenty of left overs that I can vac seal and freeze, and use throughout the semester. Next time I'm doing pulled pork, or brisket. Or stuffed pork loin. Something that doesn't require the diligence.
I'm a little late to this party, but I have two suggestions, one for now and one for the next time. For this time, if you find the roast is too tender to cut, you can chunk it and put the chunks in a 425 oven for 10-15 minutes. This will give them a nice crust and the interior should be nice and moist. The suggestion for next time is that you get a copy of "All About Braising" by Molly Stevens. About 20 bucks at Amazon and probably available for less used.
If anyone wants to correct me on any of this, jump in. Don't let corbmonster hangin'.
re: yayadave
I totally agree Dave. If the roast goes past slicing, chunking it and giving it a little high heat sounds like a great idea. Good thinkin'!
re: yayadave
Thank you for your tip dave, it may very well come in handy. :)
It has begun! Came home and cooked veggies in the bottom with some bacon fat. Removed veggies, added oil. Made some of the scoring a little deeper on the shoulder and put a really good brown on the sides of the roast. De-glazed with wine, and broth. Threw in 400 degree oven for 10 min to get the temp up quickly, and turned down to 300. I came home a bit earlier than I planed, so it gives me a better buffer. I'll let you know how it turns out, but during the searing, it smelt amazing! And the de-glazing as well.
re: corbmonster
came home after 4.5 hrs in oven. Internal was >200. It's pulled pork perfection. Not what I was looking for, but still so awesome!
re: corbmonster
Glad it worked out!
What were you looking for?
re: corbmonster
Yes, at that temp, pulled pork! I'm sorry we couldn't give you a more specific time, but I think you will be glad it wasn't undercooked. Glad it was awesome!
re: corbmonster
wow, that cooked pretty quick! must hve been the 300 degrees. but it seems you never can tell. linguafood, a fellow CHer, recently had a like-sized pork that she cooked for like 9 hours and it never came to falling apart.
glad you enjoyed!
No higher than 140 F. Any form of protein strand that reaches 212 F or more basically turns into a rubber band.
I just cooked a smallish pork shoulder 'SV' 135 F water temp for about four hours. Juicy tender 'sliceable'. I'm experimenting with which results are better. Searing first or searing after the 'SV'. With the pork shoulder I seared at medium with a few drops of refined coconut oil in a stainless pan wide pan so I could move the beast around easier. Within a few minutes the outside was a golden crispy brown. I let it rest for 30 minutes lightly tented.
re: Puffin3
Pork shoulders have so much fat and connective tissue that they need higher temps to melt/dissolve them. Higher final temps make them more tempting.
That's why pork shoulders are used mostly for pulled pork and not for pork oven roasts.
For an oven roast, the final temp should be much lower.
re: C. Hamster
That's why pork shoulders are used mostly for pulled pork and not for pork oven roasts
I would respectfully disagree.....many, including myself roast the Shoulder/Boston Butt to slice....and not to pull....as personally, I enjoy the cut more than fresh ham.
Boneless pork shoulders are also readily available in netting for foodservice to commercial kitchens.
re: fourunder
we've been enjoying them both ways lately - love the sliced pork roast - the texture is so great.
re: C. Hamster
I agree, I am personally not a fan of all that "stuff" running through the meat. I use them for either pulled pork, or a "fall apart" roast. If I want a slicing roast, I'll get a loin and cook it for much less time.
re: wyogal
Lots of issues in the preceding posts. Sous vide is a wonderful way to cook, but not always the best for a particular desired outcome. There is no way SV will improve authentic NC smoked pulled pork! And others.
But pork shoulder, and other tough cuts, do not need high heat to tenderize. SV substitutes time for heat in applications like this. A flank steak cooked SV at 131 for around 18 hours will be as tender as filet mignon, and medium rare to boot. I have not tried pork shoulder SV, but I know from other experiments it could produce fantastic sliced pork.
Finally, loin and pork shoulder are very different cuts. What is preferred for a particular application is truly a matter of preference. I myself never, ever choose loin or tenderloin as a matter of preference. I prefer working muscles. Tongue, heart, shoulder, etc. One way to get the general form of sliceable loin with working muscles is to remove the stuff you don't like after cooking, and then roll up the stuff you do like into Glad Wrap tubes and chill for several hours. Beef Bourgogne done this way is unbelievable.
re: ttochow
Exactly, a matter of preference, which is why I stated that it was my personal preference, "I am personally not a fan ...," and, "If I want..."
Personally, I make kick but butts... and loins. I do it well and is enjoyed by all who eat MY roasts. I don't really need nor do I want to do SV.
re: C. Hamster
I'll add in on this. a whole pork shoulder is one of the best roasts you will ever make. score the skin, season, roast (uncovered!) at 300 degrees to an internal of around 165, then crank up the oven to 450 or higher until the skin has crisped and is almost ready to pop off. Rest for 30-45 minutes and you'll have an internal of around 175 to 180. It'll be a perfect really porky roast with great cracklings. and you can usually find it for around $2 a pound.

Sender Films have just released their 'First Ascent' Box Set. This 6 episode mega-DVD has well over 3 hours of climbing footage including the now legendary Alex Honnold 'Alone on the Wall' and other top stuff, you know, like BASE jumping down the Eiger and other tame action...
Anyway, here we have some previously unreleased footage from Sender Films. This clip is of Nick Martino and is included on the DVD Box Set in the extras, but was never shown when the original episodes came out.
You get to see it first on UKC!
We asked the guys at Sender Films to introduce the clip:
"While filming for the First Ascent Series over the last couple years we were gathering footage in our nearby crack climbing Mecca of the Utah desert. Climbers head out there in the autumn to work new projects, and they often get drawn in to the desert rat lifestyle and don't return back to civilization till the spring when the desert starts to overheat.
Last year, Nick Martino, a young monkey who cut his teeth on Yosemite granite, got bit by the desert bug as he obsessed over his visionary project 'Kansas City Special' - so named because Nick is from the flat-lands of Kansas.
Most desert routes require full-on crack techniques and not much else. But, climbing KC special involves creative use of the unique architecture of the desert wall - laybacking a wind-carved scoop, powering up an off-set seam, and lunging to a knife-edge arete - along with placing micro-gear in the think crack. It's a wild, dynamic route, which will likely be the hardest climb in the desert once it goes.
This footage of Martino became part of the "Desert Rats" bonus episode on the First Ascent Box Set. It never made it into the series as our other 6 features all came together. But it's some of our favorite climbing footage and makes for the best bonus episode we've done."

|— Pinepaw as Flametail examines her pelt in Night Whispers, page 183-184
|Unnamed kit
|Book Appearances
|The Fourth Apprentice, Fading Echoes, Mistystar's Omen, Night Whispers, Sign of the Moon, The Forgotten Warrior, The Last Hope, Bramblestar's Storm
Pinenose is a black she-cat.[1]
In the Super Edition Arc
Bramblestar's Storm
- Pinenose appears as part of a ShadowClan patrol consisting of Scorchfur, Spikepaw, and Ferretclaw. She hisses at Bramblestar, fur bristling, when he says he has noticed that there are no fresh scent markers along the border, claiming they were on their way to do so.
- More Coming Soon
In the Omen of the Stars Arc
The Fourth Apprentice
- Pinepaw does not formally appear in The Fourth Apprentice, but is listed in the allegiances. She is a ShadowClan apprentice being mentored by Ratscar.
Fading Echoes
- Pinepaw is with her mentor and her Clanmates, Crowfrost and Tigerheart. The four cats make up a patrol that finds a ThunderClan patrol lurking near the border of the two Clans. Pinepaw's patrol questions the ThunderClan patrol, which consists of Graystripe, Thornclaw, Lionblaze, Briarpaw, and Dovepaw. When questioned, Graystripe growls that his patrol is checking for ShadowClan scent inside their territory. Lionblaze explains that a hazel bush has been recently found with ShadowClan scent all over it. The three ShadowClan warriors deny this, as ShadowClan would gain nothing from the meaningless bush. Thornclaw challenges ShadowClan to come see for themselves. Pinepaw snaps at Thornclaw, saying that ThunderClan is not in charge of every cat just because it was their idea to go upstream to find the source that's blocking the river. Ratscar then accuses ThunderClan of trying to trick them into a fight.
- After Lionblaze asks why they would do such a thing, Tigerheart cleverly offers to check, giving him an opportunity to hide the scent on the bush, which is known to only himself and Dovepaw. He returns to the two glaring patrols. Crowfrost, Ratscar, and Tigerheart briefly discuss the matter between themselves as Pinepaw paces back and forth, her hackles still raised. After a moment, the patrols part ways.
- Later, Firestar, Brambleclaw, and Jayfeather arrive in the ShadowClan camp, asking for the land that Firestar had given to ShadowClan. Blackstar summons Russetfur and Littlecloud, matching his company. As Littlecloud emerges from his den, Jayfeather scans the camp, and hears coughing from the apprentices' den. He senses that Pinepaw was the one coughing, but her young body would shake off the illness soon enough.
- During the battle against ThunderClan, Starlingpaw and Pinepaw are seen flanking Crowfrost. Dovepaw digs her claws into Pinepaw's back and Ivypaw fights Starlingpaw. After Pinepaw screeches in pain, Dovepaw and Ivypaw release their grip and the ShadowClan apprentices run back to their Clanmates.
Night Whispers
- Pinepaw is in ShadowClan camp being taught by Rowanclaw how to be better prepared for the next battle; ShadowClan was in a Clan meeting discussing how to be better prepared for the next battle with ThunderClan in order to regain the lost land. Ferretpaw pretended to be Thornclaw and Oakfur was pretending to be Hazeltail, and while Pinepaw is attacking 'Thornclaw', 'Hazeltail' knocks her over, exactly how it was in the battle. Keeping in mind what Rowanclaw had been trying to tell her, Pinepaw escapes from 'Hazeltail's' grip and finds a way to use the situation to her advantage. This is met with approval from her Clan.
- Pinepaw is next heard of when Dovepaw stretches her senses to the ShadowClan camp, with either Ferretpaw or Starlingpaw complaining about her crushing his nest and asking her to move over.
- Later, Pinepaw is on a hunting patrol with Tigerheart, Snowbird, and Ratscar. Pinepaw was playing in the snow when she lands, painfully, in a snowdrift concealing a patch of brambles. When the patrol runs into Flametail, who is out looking for herbs mainly for Littlecloud, who is the only ShadowClan cat sick at the time, Flametail smells borage on her pelt. This helps Flametail figure out that there may be unharmed herbs hidden under brambles, which helps save ShadowClan from a devastating leaf-bare.
- She is playing on the frozen lake with her denmate, Starlingpaw, and Clanmate, Olivenose. Starlingpaw tells Flametail that they are playing a game they made up called prey-stone. Flametail teams up with Olivenose against the two apprentices. While Flametail and Olivenose pass the stone to get in a position to score, Pinepaw and Starlingpaw guard the prey-hole. Nearing the prey-hole, Flametail shoots, but is blocked by Pinepaw. Pinepaw sends the stone hurtling back at Flametail, but he misses the catch of the stone and chases after it out deeper into the middle of the ice-covered lake causing him to drown, despite the efforts of Jayfeather.
Sign of the Moon
- Pinepaw does not formally appear in Sign of the Moon, but is listed in the allegiances.
The Forgotten Warrior
- She is now a warrior with the name of Pinenose. Her warrior name is announced at a Gathering, along with Starlingwing and Ferretclaw.
The Last Hope
- She appears briefly as a queen, when the Place of No Stars cats attack the ShadowClan camp. It is noticed that her kit is lying dead on the ground and she is wailing over its lifeless body. Tallpoppy helps her get away from the thick of the fighting, where she could continue grieving over her kit.
In the Novellas
Mistystar's Omen
- Pinepaw does not formally appear in Mistystar's Omen, but is listed in the allegiances.
- She is mistakenly referred to as a tom in Fading Echoes.[4]
- In the allegiances of The Last Hope, Pinenose is listed as a warrior, but is later referred to as a queen.[5]
- When asked about Pinenose's unnamed kit, Kate said that Happykit, a name given by the fandom, sounded like a good name.[6]

Psychological guidance can help mothers reduce child malnutrition in developing countries
If children are not hungry, why are they malnourished. Economic growth does not seem to have a great impact on reducing child malnutrition and neither does simply an expansion of state services, for example, in India. Poor mothers often have to make a lot of choices. What should they buy. How much they need to save. How much to invest. This puts a lot of pressure on them to feed a healthy, nutritious and economical diet for their children. They need to be guided on how to make the best choices.
