How do we accelerate the growth of non religious community?
It is a fact that religion is so successful in propagating the religious ideas among people .Still majority of people on earth are religious.Why the scientific community is not coming up with an idea or a system of ideas which can spread like a virus into the minds of religious people and just make them non religious.

Nov 4 2011: Dear Shamy,
Why would that be a good thing? Religion has been misused/ deliberately misinterptreted. Would Jesus have approved of the crusades? What would Mohammed have said about fatwas and sharia law? Surely it's not religion in itself that is the problem but rather the example that the "leaders" give to their followers.
sam tepyNov 5 2011: yes It is the religion which is causing the problem .The whole idea of believing something is unquestionably true is the main problem.Once you introduce such kind of system into society , it is very natural that people will misuse it.In other words It is very vulnerable to misuse.if a religious leader of religion-A claims that all people in religion-B are stupids.The people under him should consider this statement as true without thinking .Because its a 'pure belief' system.You have to believe.That the rule.If you use your brain to question the belief system, the belief system will collapse.So I blame the people who propagate such a system not the one who misuse the system.

Colo. theater shooting kin reject movie invitationBy DAN ELLIOTT
The Associated Press | January 03,2013AP PHOTO
Relatives of the majority of people killed at the movie theater last July rejected an invitation Wednesday to attend its reopening later this month, calling it a disgusting offer.CENTENNIAL, Colo. Relatives of the majority of people killed in a Colorado movie theater rejected an invitation on Wednesday to attend its reopening later this month, calling it a disgusting offer.
The parents, grandparents, cousins and widow of nine of the 12 people killed released a letter sent to the theaters owner, Cinemark, in which they criticized the Plano, Texas-based company for not reaching out to the families of victims to offer their condolences. They also said the company refused to meet with them one-on-one without lawyers present.
The families said they were asked to attend an evening of remembrance followed by a movie when the Aurora theater reopens on Jan. 17 in invitations sent two days after Christmas.
Thanks for making what is a very difficult holiday season that much more difficult. Timing is everything and yours is awful, they wrote.
The company had no immediate comment.
Cinemark has been renovating the Aurora theater and plans to re-open it Jan. 17, a move the citys mayor said had widespread support in the community. Gov. John Hickenlooper is among those planning to attend.
The families of some victims have sued Cinemark. The father of the youngest person killed in the shooting, 6-year-old Veronica Moser-Sullivan, is among them. He didnt sign the letter but the girls grandparents did.
Also Wednesday, prosecutors and defense lawyers said theyre ready for a crucial hearing next week in which prosecutors will outline their case against James Holmes, who is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 70 during a midnight showing of the Batman movie The Dark Night Rises July 20.
It starts Monday and is scheduled to run all week. At its conclusion, state District Judge William B. Sylvester will decide if the evidence is sufficient to put Holmes on trial.
During Wednesdays hearing, prosecutors and defense lawyers also discussed with Sylvester a sealed motion from the prosecution that made some reference to witnesses. Sylvester said he planned to rule on it later in the day but wouldnt refer to witnesses by name.
Holmes didnt say anything during the half-hour hearing.
He is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder and hasnt been asked to enter a plea yet. His lawyers have said he suffers from mental illness.
Next weeks preliminary hearing will give the public its first officially sanctioned look at much of the evidence against Holmes.
Sylvester imposed a gag order shortly after Holmes arrest barring attorneys and investigators from speaking publicly about the case, and many documents have been sealed.
The University of Colorado, where Holmes was a graduate student, has also been tight-lipped about the case.
At prosecutors request, Sylvester barred the university from releasing records requested by numerous media organizations.
Prosecutors argued that the information could jeopardize Holmes right to a fair trial. Sylvester initially agreed but amended his order last month to allow the release after media organizations objected in court.
Holmes was enrolled in a Ph.D. neuroscience program at the university. Investigators said he began stockpiling firearms and ammunition while taking classes in the spring.
In June, he made threats to a professor and on June 10 filed withdrawal papers after failing a year-end exam, prosecutors said. The next day he saw his school psychiatrist who tried to report him to a campus security committee, according to Holmes lawyers.MORE IN Wire NewsMARATHON, N.Y. Full StoryCHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.

Jay Leno is trying to take jobs away from AmericansPosted on January 25th, 2007 – 8:56 AM
By Michael Rand
That's all we can glean from what seems to be Leno's maiden journey into the world of breaking sports news. On The Tonight Show Tuesday, guest Jeff Garcia said he would be testing the waters of free agency. The media has enough problems, Jay. Leave our scoops alone, and quit stealing our jobs. Of course, As MJD points out over at the Fanhouse, Garcia was an odd choice of guests considering the Eagles were bounced from the playoffs in the first round. We can only hope for an odder choice next week, like perhaps Jeff Kent — the baseball player, not the dwarf rabbit (check the "about me" section).

from The Great Debate:
Asserting the Senate's power
A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals last week unanimously ruled that President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he made recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) last year.
The court agreed with the argument outlined in an amicus brief submitted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), myself and 40 of our Republican colleagues. We argued that the Constitution does not empower the president to determine when the Senate is in recess.
The court ruled that any other interpretation of the Constitution would give "the president free rein to appoint his desired nominees at any time he pleases, whether that time be a weekend, lunch or even when the Senate is in session and he is merely displeased with its inaction."
The Founders established the constitutional separation of powers for a reason. The Senate's right to provide advice and consent is an important check on the risk of this type of presidential overreach – and one we exercised last January. Yet despite of the court's unanimous decision, the NLRB recently announced that it intends to ignore the ruling and carry on with business as usual.

Remember the good old days? Gaming was really difficult because you had to be tech-savvy just to get a game to run. It could take hours just to start a PC game, many of them required you to screw around with memory and DOS boot settings. And if you also wanted sound in your game, you were just asking for serious trouble. Computers weren't household products yet. Nothing was really made for normal people - the games were made by geeks, for geeks.
It took me three hours to get Batman: Arkham City running tonight, because of Games for Windows Live. Three hours. Three hours of downloading weird things, reading meaningless error messages, rebooting, trying network settings never before needed, reading forum threads and googling for crowd wisdom. That experience was an interesting trip down memory lane, which made me recall that geek sense of accomplishment it was getting a game to run 20 years ago.
Fast forward to 2013 and I simply can't understand why any company would make it difficult for their customers to use their products. It makes no sense.

Hamburger Surprise of the Day: Toowomba, Australia mother of two Kylie Steger says her appetite was ruined when she found a "rude surprise" at the bottom of a burger box from fast food chain Hungry Jack's: a crude drawing of a penis.
The offensive doodle has put Steger off her weekly dinner visits to the restaurant, where she often took the kids after football and netball practice.
"It literally made me sick," she said. "If they have drawn that in there, what else have they done to my burger?"
A Hungry Jack's spokesman says the company has launched an internal investigation to determine the identity of the artist.
Jonah Hill's character from Superbad has not yet been ruled out as a suspect.

Thought i'd bring up the topic about the PM and Facebook. I'll keep it brief.
I'm with the PM on this, in that Facebook should take full responsibility for the violent videos and images that are being posted on there. An example, someone had committed a crime in Mexico. As a punishment, the men were bound, and put against a wall where they said something or another. Next second, a guy with a chainsaw takes off one of their heads. After that, the one alive looks at the body, probably shizzling himself, and someone with a knife took of his head, slowly.
Last night i got talking with @TBlax, and we discussed how it's totally inappropriate for Facebook to allow such videos on the net. He however argued that if there is a 5 second WARNING message, it should be allowed.
I TOTALLY disagree. Children, around the ages of 8 or younger have facebook. If they have an account, they can view those videos. Think of an 8 year old watching people slowly beheaded, having their head shot off, or their fingers chopped off. What impact do you think it'd have on their lives?
Personally, i could watch almost anything (bar anything to do with spiders), but the fact it was ONLINE and there for ANYONE to watch.... shocked me. If i was the PM, i'd block FB from the UK permanently or put in strong so-called sanctions on the site. That's me, but it's the direction i hope the PM would be going. Facebook is getting worse and worse, and they're allowing such things to be posted on their site, just to attract more people and encourage them to sign up. What Mark Twatberg doesn't understand is, it's his face that is being ruined by allowing such things.
I'm wondering where you all stand with it? Would you allow them to carry on posting such things, allowing kids to view it? Is it a parenting fault? Is it FB fault totally? Should there be keywords that auto search videos and blocks them? What actions should be taken?
All in all, FB is something i will NOT be associating myself with if this continues.

I'm loving the Wii U, I have some weird things happening when I play via the gamepad, the graphics sometimes 'bleed' a lot to the point where I avoid using it that way... and I mean the graphics on the gamepad ooze like bleeding dripping draw in type weirdness. It doesn't happen all the time but a lot when I'm playing Resident Evil Revelations(which i just rage quit trying to beat the last BOSS on normal lol).
I'm looking forward to Monolith Soft's X which is one of the main reasons I bought the Wii U. I still need to get Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3 and I'll probably pick up a bunch of Wii RPGs that I never had since I never bought the Wii. I'm buying all the old RE games, I already bought the Wii versions of Remake and RE0, and just ordered those RE zapper guns, one comes with Darkside Chronicles and I'll have to buy the other light gun type game separately. Which has prompted me to probably go ahead and add either the Gamecube chainsaw controller to my collection or the PS2 version of it.

My Wii U is saving me from the boredom of my gameless PS4.
What games do you have?
Mario & Luigi U, SM3D World, WWHD, The Wonderful 101, Nintendo Land & Rayman Legends. I still need to pick up DKTF, Pikmin 3 and Lego City Undercover and can't wait for MK8.

Oh. :P Just ACIV: BF and the PS+ games. Among them the only one I really like is Resogun. As far as anticipated titles go, Second Son next month and then Watch Dogs in June and Destiny later on. I strongly suspect The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be delayed until next year and Dragon Age: Inquisition will come out then as well.

text: Fido gets fellatio in Bobcat Goldthwait's sex comedy, a surprisingly sweet-natured affair that's far from the bad-taste orgy implied by its icky premise. For one thing, we never see the impulsive act of four-legged sword-swallowing that comes back to haunt Melinda Page Hamilton after beau Bryce Johnson insists on learning her grossest secret. Nor does said shame unduly detract from former Police Academy star Goldthwait's more serious agenda: to show that honesty is not necessarily the best policy when it comes to sustaining a relationship, especially if it involves giving the dog a boner. Shot on the fly for next to nothing, Sleeping Dogs is never quite funny enough to excuse its drab visuals and dodgy sound. Hamilton, though, makes a fetching lead, while Colby French is hilarious as her tweaker brother.

Bringing MERP Closer to Our Students
MERP's main campus is now in South Florida, and soon Canadian students will participate in the course from Toronto.
MERP Prepares Students for Success in Medical School
Top performers in MERP often outperform regularly admitted students.
MERP's Courses are Rigorous, Relevant, and Goal-Focused
Courses in anatomy, physiology, and other basic sciences prepare students for medical school material.
Welcome to MERP
MERP is a 15-week review program offered three times each year to aspiring medical students. Since 2004, more than 1,800 people have completed MERP and continued on to medical school.
New Name, New Florida Campus
To make our program more accessible to our students and to better reflect our mission, we've moved to Miramar in South Florida and renamed the program the Medical Education Readiness Program.
MERP Canada
Starting in April, Canadian students can participate in MERP via videoconference. MERP Canada will be held at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto.
The purpose of the Medical Education Readiness Program is to prepare prospective students to be successful as a medical student. Students accepted into this program are not being admitted into medical school, and will not be awarded any kind of degree or credential other than a certificate of completion. However, we believe that students who successfully complete the program will be prepared for the challenge of medical school.

DNA deletions promote cancer, but collateral damage make it vulnerable
Genomic deletions promote cancer by carving up or eliminating tumor-suppressor genes, but now scientists report in the journal Nature that the collateral damage they inflict on neighboring genes exposes cancer cells to vulnerabilities and new avenues for attack. Working with cell lines of glioblastoma multiforme, the most lethal type of brain tumor, researchers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard Medical School, and some now at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, found that collateral deletion of a gene vital to tumor metabolism allowed them to kill malignant cells by blocking another gene that redundantly performs the same function.

Among the research institutions NCI funds across the United States, it currently designates 67 as Cancer Centers. Largely based in research universities, these facilities are home to many of the NCI-supported scientists who conduct a wide range of intense, laboratory research into cancer's origins and development. The Cancer Centers Program also focuses on trans-disciplinary research, including population science and clinical research. The centers' research results are often at the forefront of studies in the cancer field.

The Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce hosted Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Rep. John Carter (R-Tex.) in San Antonio for "Left. Right, Forward," an in-depth conversation on immigration reform.
Congressmen Gutierrez and Carter will engaged with San Antonians in a unique and open discussion on the path forward for immigration reform and the national immigration debate.
The event was livestreamed. Watch a video recording below:

A new Federation census doubled the Jewish population of Portland, Ore., overnight. Now the question is who they are and how to connect with them.
There were a few yarmulkes in the crowd, but mostly it was uncovered heads. A man in a Utilikilt held a young girl in a pink dress. A woman danced with her daughter, who was shaking a steel reusable coffee mug like a rattle. I spotted one lonely bucket of fried chicken, but mostly, the picnic blankets were laden with salads—bean salads, fruit salads, bagged salads, orzo salads—in pots and bowls brought from home so as not to waste Tupperware. And, of course, challah.
Everyone looked great, the picture of relaxed, locavore health, a reminder of the well-known joke from the television series Portlandia—starring Carrie Brownstein, perhaps one of the city's best-known Jews—about how progressive, affordable Portland is "the city where young people go to retire." Except there was just one problem: This was not a crowd filled with young people, retired or otherwise.
In fact, it was overwhelmingly made up of middle-aged west-siders. Rabbi Greenstein thanked people for making the "schlep" over from the west side of the Willamette, and a woman I was seated with told me she saw mostly familiar faces from that side of the river. This made it very easy to spot the few young east-siders—three of them: a young man, his wife, and their 4-month-old daughter—because they looked so out of place.
David Michaelis, 31, who lives in Northeast Portland, works at a financial services firm where he specializes in Internet technology. For "Shabbat in the Park" he was wearing a "Jews Kick Ass" T-shirt featuring pictures of Albert Einstein, William Shatner, Jesus, the Fonz, and Sammy Davis Jr. "I'm not too involved," he told me, munching on Bing cherries and snap peas toward the back of the crowd beneath the ash tree. His wife, Kerry, who was with him, was raised Catholic, not Jewish, making Michaelis a prime example of one of the Federation's census findings: Less-involved Jews in Portland are "more apt" to be living with non-Jews. In a twist that shows just how confounding the young Portland east-siders can be to the west-side establishment that wants to reel them in, it was Michaelis' non-Jewish wife who brought the family to Shabbat in the Park. "She likes the open-minded thing," Michaelis told me. Also on his wife's list of likes: the music, that the service is mostly in English, that the whole thing is outside. (From the census preparers: "Given the fact that this audience is most likely to be living with non-Jews, consider development of more secular events or programs that are welcoming and accepting of non-Jews.")
Michaelis goes to synagogue only on high holidays—"And my grandmother would be pissed if she read that, so put that in," he said—and while he told me that Shabbat in the Park was "pretty cool," he quickly added: "If there were more people my age here, I'd be able to socialize more." Gesturing to the crowd, he continued: "These people are older than us—way older than us." He then pointed at a nearby woman. "I mean, this lady could be my grandma," he said. Because Michaelis works, has a young family, and plays on a basketball team, he lamented, "I can't go play beer pong on Wednesday at the Moishe House." (A Moishe House, sensing opportunity, just opened in east Portland.)
So, the question remains: What, exactly, would Portland Jews like Michaelis rather have offered to them? "We just wanna get together and hang out," Michaelis said.
That may sound perplexingly vague, but it's very much in keeping with present national trends, as well as historical attitudes in this particular region. There is a long tradition—and not just in Portland—of Pacific Northwest Jews being a bit unusual in their disposition and practices, a bit harder to pin down than Jews from other parts of the country. University of Oregon's Toll co-wrote a book on the subject in 2009, titled Jews of the Pacific Coast, which chronicles the rich history of Jews in the area and describes their migration as "a process of self-selection that favored the less insular and the more daring."
Jewish merchants, for example, were a part of the early growth of major Western cities like San Francisco and Seattle, especially after the Gold Rush kicked off in 1849. "They tended to be a different kind of person," Toll told me. Independent-minded, ready to leave the community they knew, more connected to natural beauty than, say, the Jews who declined to leave urban centers of Philadelphia and New York for an unknown life among the evergreens and people who at the time were called Indians. In the tiny Oregon Jewish Museum (located on the west side of the Willamette, of course, not far from the fortress-like Temple Beth Israel, founded in 1858) one can find pictures of these early Oregon Jews, riding horseback and walking the rugged beaches of the Pacific Coast.
Today, said Blattner, of the Federation, Portland is seeing a new wave of migration by adventurous and independent-minded Jews. "It's a hot city," he told me. "A hidden jewel." He's heard the joke, of course, about Portland being the place where young people go to retire—or, put in less jokey terms, the place where young people go to ride out the Great Recession in cheap, comfortable style, with the thought that they'll also be involved in building a new, less materialistic, more do-it-yourself kind of urban American culture. But Blattner also sees a fundamentally different philosophy prevailing in Portland than on east coast, one that's very alluring.
"There is a mindset that people do their jobs, and at the end of the day they want to go hike, bike, or enjoy the outdoors," Blattner said. "And that's a beautiful thing." Plus, he added, "We live in this very open, progressive society where everything is all, 'Be what you want to be,' 'Live your life.' "
For the unaffiliated Jews identified in the Federation's census, however, the strong embrace of this nice Portland ethos is helping to create a disconnect. They're not the previous generation's Jews, and this rings out in the census findings. For example, unaffiliated Jews in Portland see Israel as a much lower priority than the city's older establishment Jews, the survey found. The unaffiliateds are more interested in "promotion of civil rights and tolerance" than the Jewish establishment is; they're also more interested than their older counterparts in "economic justice" and "protection of the environment."
Even if these unaffiliated Jews had money for a membership at a synagogue—which many don't—they are far less interested in institutions, or even institutional-feeling things, than the established core of Portland Jews.
Toll sees all of this as part of a trend that's much bigger than just Portland, part of an ongoing breaking-apart of old norms for what it means to be Jewish. "Jews don't identify as Jews in the way they used to," Toll said. "We've become Americanized. And our concept of being Jewish is largely through religion, and religion seems to mean a way of finding spiritual meaning in our lives, and that seems to mean being on some spiritual quest, rather than being affiliated with some institution."

"new guy", does that mean that your 'operation' was successful? Before you were a 'new guy' were you an 'old gal'?
And, just because you know ONE, read that as 1 (One) guy that had an outage for 4 hours (doubtful) we should spend extra millions for plant operations. For your information I do not know ANYONE that had any power outages. It's wonderful how you glue-sniffing, dope headed, far left wing liberal socialist/communist/marxist always sit on your thumbs and wait for the government employee to show up to take care of your problems. Guess you don't remember the days when almost no one that lived in the country even had electricity. Remember when the TV was just a fad and a new fangled contraption that would never catch on? Remember when computers were gadgets from sci-fi movies? Remember when people walked or rode a horse to go to town? And, now people are crippled and hugely injured when the electricity goes out for just a little while. I believe ERCOT and Texas has done very well for itself in the energy department. I remember last year and the year before when we had multiple days in a row with above 100 degree temperatures and not even one electric outage. I consider that a pretty good bit of service to customers.
Bottom line, a lot of you people screaming your head off about ERCOT are silly, rotten, mollycoddled, spoiled brats....Get off your high horse and find something really serious to complain about....like maybe, the country killing President we now have in office that lakes the necessary 'between the leg gadgets' to cut budgets, lower taxes to get this country back to were it should be in the job department. People like you should be *itch slapped every morning before you have your first cup of coffee with the hope that eventually you'll acquire a few scraps of good common sense. I was trying real hard to work in dumb*ss into my description of you, but failed! Now, have that second cup of coffee, read a serious book, get a life, and search for a wee bit of intelligence before the sun goes down, you dumb*ss...hey, I was able to work dumb*ss into my descriptin of you....Good for me. I'll pat myself on the back now!

Beauty Sound Bite: Child's Play
Master of maquillage and creative director of British beauty brand Illamasqua, Alex Box, doesn't play it safe. And she doesn't do beige, as she's told Style.com on numerous occasions. The new counter at Bloomingdale's in New York City boasts the full range of cosmetics that other retailers are wary to stock on their shelves (like slime-green gloss and tubes upon tubes of chemical pastels à la Prabal Gurung Spring 2014), because even this 153-year-old department store realizes that beauty isn't about being buttoned up, it's about letting your inner freak flag fly. And while a lip color the shade of Kermit the Frog isn't for everyone, why not take a slightly more conventional risk? The pro's advice:
"You should try to look at yourself as you did when you were a child and be playful and excited about makeup. I always find it amazing that people can commit to a tattoo, but they won't try a red lip."
To catch Box in action, sit in on her pro class and pick up a few techniques tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. at Bloomingdale's Soho.

Using ISO Image Files
Every now and then, you will come across an ISO file and you may wonder what to do with it. So, what is it and what do you do with it? People new to computers may not know. In this article, I'm going to introduce an ISO file to you. And for those who already know about ISOs, I'm going to introduce a couple tools to you which you may find helpful.
What is an ISO?
An ISO file is essentially an image file of the contents of an ISO 9600 file system. What the heck is that? Well, ISO stands for the International Organization of Standardization, which is the group which sets the standards used in various industries. One of the many standards they have defined is ISO 9600, which is the standard used for how to store files on a CD-ROM. So, if you connect the dots here, an ISO file is essentially an image file of a CD-ROM and it's contents. It is an entire CD in one single file with an *.ISO file extension.
An image file is a single file which in itself is a complete byte-by-byte copy of what the contents of a disc looks like. So, let's say you have a CD-ROM with some data on it. You could create an ISO image of that disc and that ISO file would be an exact copy of the CD-ROM.
ISOs are not just for CD-ROMs. They are images of any optical disc, including a DVD.
Uses for an ISO
An ISO file is a convenient way to:
- Archive CD-ROMs on a hard drive (in case the disc is damaged or lost)
- Distribute CD-ROMs over the internet
Some people like to create ISO images of CDs and DVDs for archival purposes. For example, if you buy a new software program and it comes on a CD-ROM, you can create an ISO image of the program disc and store it on your hard drive. If you ever lose the original disc, you could burn a new one using the ISO.
If you want to distribute CDs or DVDs electronically, ISOs are a good way to go. You see this often when various Linux distributions. Since Linux is free, they offer it for download. Well, like any operating system, it is installed to the computer via CD. So, you can just download the ISO file from the internet, burn your own CD, and then install the program.
How To Make an ISO
There are many CD/DVD writing programs that will allow you to create ISO image files of a disc. Of the many options, some are:
- Folder2ISO – allows you to create an ISO of any folders on your hard drive
- ImgBurn
- ISO Recorder
- MagicISO – this is my current favorite, but is not a freebie.
Making an ISO differs depending on the program you use, but it essentially comes down to selecting the disc or folders you want to create an image from and then creating the image. You tell the program what to call the ISO. MagicISO is the one that I use and you can create an ISO of any disc with the click of a button.
Using an ISO Without Burning to Disc
Since an ISO image is an exact copy of a disc, it can be used as a CD or DVD without it actually having to be on a disc. This process is called "mounting" the disc image, and it can be done with certain utilities that create a virtual CD-ROM drive.
My favorite is called Daemon Tools. Once installed, you can "mount" an ISO image file and it will actually make it work as if it were an actual CD. If the disc image has an autorun file, it will even run the autorun once mounted. It completely works just like a disc, but it is virtual.
Mounting archived ISO files in this way makes using those images faster. Since the hard drive is faster than a CD-ROM drive, a mounted disc image will get you faster performance. For instance, installing software using a mounted image in Daemon Tools will be much faster than using the CD itself.

Hey thanks for the info…this was exactly what I was looking for as I did not wanna write my iso images to disc (quite painful you see..)
Now I know it is possible to mount images without having to write it to disk.
Thanks a ton

Thank you for your help! I was sort of worried. My friend gave me windows office 2010 but I didn't know how to use the ISO. Thankfully, after reading this I feel a little more educated :P.
Thank you for saving me!

Stupid question?
I have put together this computer, installed two sata drives in it. One I am using for windows xp, the other I want to install windows 7 on. I have a good windows 7 iso file on the xp drive. Can I install the windows 7 to the second hard drive, turn off my computer and change the boot in bios to make the windows 7 install the priority? But an e-machine and it pissed me off, so now I am trying to just make it work on this machine. I have an athlon 64 3700+ chip, only 1g of ram, but am adding more ram as I can. Can someone help me here, please. If this can be done it will save me the trouble of burning the iso to disk and doing the install from it. LOL, computers are supposed to make things easier……..
Thanks to anyone that can help

State lawmakers may decide to ban drone surveillance of private property in Texas. A University of Texas professor fears that bill could hurt the research being done on those eyes in the sky. The university has an $80,000 drone that has been used by engineering professor Todd Humphreys to prove that the security of drones can be compromised.
"We showed that you can hack into a GPS system of one of these drones and like a tractor beam you can bring it down out of the air."
But, using that technology could be prevented in the future. State Representative Lance Gooden (R, District 4) has introduced a bill called 'The Texas Privacy Act' that would ban drone surveillance of private property by everyone from aviation hobbyists to law enforcement.
"The drones that are coming out today, they're very small. They're cheaper. In 4-5 years everyone can have these," Rep. Gooden told FOX 7. He says the bill is necessary because of the growing privacy concerns regarding unmanned aircraft.
"A land owner in my district brought this to me because his neighbor was checking on his cattle with a drone and that's great, there's nothing wrong with that, but the drone would find it's way over my constituent's property and it would just kind of hover there."
Humphreys believes the bill goes too far. "I think it's definitely been an overreaction. First of all we don't have the problem here and maybe the problem never materializes."
He says that some lawmakers don't fully understand the work being done by so called hobbyists.
"Much of the research we to here and at other universities around the country depends in large part to the video, we're coming up with different ways to use video to improve navigation security of drones."
Gooden says the goal isn't to cut back on research, but to defend the right to privacy. "This is to protect Texans from prying eyes that are doing so without permission."
The bill would make it a Class C misdemeanor to use a drone to take pictures or video of private property. The bill does have some exceptions for law enforcement with a search warrant and for property near the Texas-Mexico border.

I was taking a shower on Sunday night and it suddenly hit me - I didn't write my weekly Create a Spark Saturday post. Gasp! I've been working so hard on my Mystery Doll Pattern and getting everything set for its release on October 3rd, that I've been working nearly constantly.
This weekend, however, I took some time off. In fact, I got so relaxed I forgot to post my regular Create a Spark Saturday post. But as my faithful hubby pointed out, the world has not stopped spinning on its axis because I forgot to post on Saturday. So I am going to pretend that today is Saturday and you can pretend with me. Bending the space time continuum is very, very creative, I think you'll agree.
Last week's creativity boosting challenge was to listen to music that fuels creative thought and hopefully, action. I took a page out of Albert Einstein's book and listened to Mozart. Although I often listen to classical music when I get creative, I typically listen to Classic FM which plays a real mix of classics. Listening to just one composer was an interesting switch.
Luckily, my mum and dad had bought me a double CD set of Mozart called Zukerman Conducts Mozart a few years ago.
Last week I was doing a lot of illustration work using Adobe Illustrator. With Mozart playing in the background I noticed something - I concentrated better. Often with any sort of music, I'll hum, sing along, or occasionally have a boogie, but even though I know Mozart well enough to hum it, I actually wasn't as consciously aware of the music as I would be when I listen to a mix of classical tunes. But suddenly I'd be finished yet another illustration.
I think Albert Einstein was onto something with the structure of Mozart's compositions fueling creative thought. You'd think he was a genius or something.
This week's challenge: Cook and eat your way to creative genius.
Certain foods have been shown to help boost brain power and creativity. I came across this article on the blog Monday's Postal, regarding what foods to eat to boost creativity (click the link to read the article).
Funnily, enough, my diet is already extremely rich in the foods mentioned here. Due to some health issues, I have a very strict diet and the foods listed on this website all figure prominently in my everyday menus. Nuts, fish rich in Omega 3, berries and colourful foods are major staples for me. The only food mentioned in the article which I don't and can't eat is dark chocolate. Somehow I'm thinking that most people won't argue with adding more of that to their diet this week!
Lately however, I've been so busy that I haven't been eating quite as much fish or bright coloured foods as I might normally eat. I'm thinking that some of the recipes contained in the article on Monday's Postal look good enough to eat, so I'm going to give those a try.
Anyone else want to give Nigella a run for her money this week? Anyone else try using music as a creative stimulus? How did it go?
PS Did you notice that the blog called Monday's Postal shared that particular article on creativity boosting food on a Saturday? Did you spot the synergy there? My plot to bend the space time continuum seems to be working. I love it when a plan comes together.

New York City cosmetic dentist Debra Glassman, DMD, is well known for her sparkling smile as well as the signature feminine touch she provides to the smiles of her patients—many of whom are women. Of late, Glassman has joined forces with GlaxoSmithKline, the makers of ProNamel Toothpaste, to draw attention to the deleterious effects that acid erosion can have on a smile and the surprising foods that can contribute to acid erosion.
She answered some questions about the new campaign, the latest and greatest in cosmetic dentistry, and what a healthy smile really looks like for Beauty in the Bag.
Here's what she had to say:
Why does our oral health matter so much?
Taking care of your teeth is essential for so many reasons. By routinely flossing, brushing and using mouth rinse, you can decrease your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancers. Also, it's especially important for pregnant women to take care of their teeth, because not doing so can lead to low birth weight in babies and even miscarriages.
What does a healthy beautiful smile look like?
While I see beautiful smiles every day, a healthy one results from regular brushing, flossing, and going to the dentist. I recommend flossing before brushing, so any leftover food particles can be cleared away in the rinsing process. It's also a good idea to use a soft-bristled tooth brush and change out your tooth brush every three months; six months for electric tooth brushes.
What are some of the newest trends in cosmetic dentistry?
We're seeing lots of of pre-filled whitening trays which are very user-friendly and especially great for travelers. These trays whiten teeth eight to 10 shades whiter through half hour-a-day usage over a 10-day period. Invisalign is also an invisible way to straighten teeth, and because of the trays and excellent technology, we can now speed the process up by 40-50 percent, making it quicker and more comfortable for patients.
We also have the ability to do crowns and bridges without using any metal and instead using all white, very strong materials. These substances look like natural teeth and make it easier for dentists to see future decay and diseases at a very early stage.
Do any of the over-the-counter products (whitening strips, for example) make a difference?
OTC products work if they're the proper choice for the patient. For example, whitening strips work well on small teeth, because they cover the entire tooth and crevices between teeth. Strips are not good for larger teeth, because they can't cover the whole area for whitening. Those with larger teeth should instead use gels so that all of their teeth are covered and the whitening will be even. As always, make sure to follow product directions properly. I also personally recommend using ProNamel toothpaste, which is specially formulated to strengthen tooth enamel and can help reduce your risk for acid erosion. It's also the #1 dentist-recommended brand for protection against the effects of acid erosion.
What does acid erosion do to a smile?
Acid erosion is a condition where your tooth enamel can become weakened and softened, which can then be more easily brushed away over time. While only a dental healthcare professional can assess tooth enamel appropriately, the five signs of acid erosion that you should be on the lookout for include tooth enamel that is weakened, thinning, transparent/see through, yellowing, or dull. And what's surprising is that everyday foods and drinks, even healthier choices like oranges, apples, and other citrus fruits that are high in acid, yet common in today's modern diet, can increase your risk for acid erosion.
Fortunately, you don't have to make any dramatic changes to your lifestyle or diet to reduce your risk for acid erosion. Ther are five simple, proven steps that everyone can take to help reduce their risk for acid erosion.
What are these steps?
1. Don't give up healthy food in your diet, particularly fruit, but do take a fresh look at how you eat it.
2. Don't swish, swirl, or hold acidic foods in your mouth for too long.
3. Many drinks, especially carbonated ones, can contribute to acid erosion. Try drinking through a straw or substituting the soft drinks with water or milk.
4. Avoid brushing your teeth immediately after eating or drinking and make sure you're using a soft-bristled tooth brush.
5. Consider using a fluoride toothpaste, like ProNamel, along with a fluoride mouthwash, to help protect your teeth from the effects of everyday acidic foods and drinks
How can you tell if you consume too many acid-rich foods in your diet?
All Americans should know their own Acid Truth—they should consider how many acid-rich foods they are consuming per day and how they can best take action to reduce their risk. That's why I encourage everybody to visit www.pronamel.us to take a 4-question quiz to determine their own Acid Truth.
A certain elitist image comes to mind when you think of "Beverly Hills," but cosmetic dentist Dr. Arthur Glosman wants to change that. A beautiful smile and healthy teeth should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their socioeconomic backgrounds, he believes. Dr. Glosman stresses that healthy teeth and gums not only give you a gorgeous Hollywood smile, but also are beneficial to your health, including the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, oral cancer, and stroke. A graduate of the University of Southern California's dentistry school, he narrowed his area of specialty to porcelain veneers, metal-free bridges and crowns, and "Smile Makeovers" through his studies at Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies.
What can our readers do at home to keep their teeth strong and white? Are there any special foods to eat?
Keeping teeth strong and pearly white is very easy if you eat right and have the right tools to brush, floss, and rinse at least two times a day. I always recommend a healthy diet and to eat carrots, cauliflower, apples, nuts, and cheese to keep teeth clean and strong. Crunchy foods like these help physically remove plaque but also have nutrients your teeth need to stay healthy.
For cleaning, I recommend electric sonic toothbrushes, but if that's not in your budget, get a toothbrush with medium bristles unless you have extra sensitive gums. Be sure to brush all the way in the back and floss in the hard to reach places as best you can. Whitening toothpastes are great for daily maintenance, but for extra whitening, at-home whitening kits or pens sold at the grocery store are affordable and effective.
What is the difference between professional teeth bleaching at a dentist's office and at-home bleaching strips, which seem to work quite well?
If a quicker or brighter white is desired, professional in-office teeth bleaching with higher concentrations of whitening active ingredients rather than at-home kits is the way to go. In-office treatments may or may not have a light source to accelerate the process. Either way, instead of a gradual process over 2 weeks, an in-office treatment can have your teeth pearly white in about an hour. Additionally, when done in-office, a fluoride solution can be applied to help reduce tooth sensitivity. Also, in-office treatments open the enamel pores on teeth, not only making the teeth potentially sensitive, but also easily stained. So only ingest clear liquids and foods for 24 hours after treatment and avoid acidic drinks and foods for a few days.
Is capping teeth still a popular solution to correcting a smile. Why or why not?
Capping teeth, or placing an all-ceramic crown restoration, is still a popular and necessary solution to correcting a smile in many cases. A crown can correct the position, shape, color, as well as the bite. It provides full coverage protection for the tooth and increases its longevity in the mouth. Veneers are the alternative and can be a better solution because they involve a more conservative restoration.
Can dental procedures improve one's facial appearance? Tell us about the Glosman Dentalift™ and Liplift™.
Dental procedures such my Glosman DentaLift™ and LipLift™ can improve the facial appearance by enhancing and correcting certain features due to teeth being worn down over time. For example, the LipLift, is the use of veneers or crowns on a person's upper teeth to help support the upper lip and give it the appearance of being fuller by angling the restorations forward toward the lips. It also can help make cheeks that have lost volume look fuller by angling the restorations more toward the cheek area.
The Glosman DentaLift helps restore a collapsed bite that has been worn down by grinding over time. When a bite is collapsed due to wearing down of the teeth, wrinkles, and fine lines develop at the corners of the mouth. By restoring the length of the teeth, we can help reduce the fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth as well as the eyes, the face is elongated and wrinkles are reduced for a more youthful and healthier appearance.
Is symmetry always a goal in correcting someone's smile? Nothing is perfect in this world—does that go for smiles?
I strive for symmetry in my work, but I add natural characteristics to each tooth to give it natural beauty so as to avoid looking artificial. Listening to the wants and needs of the patient is instrumental so I can provide them with the end-result they want and at the same time making it look like it was the smile they were born with.
What three questions should a patient always ask his or her cosmetic dentist?
Three questions a patient should always ask are: 1) How long have you been practicing cosmetic dentistry? 2) May I see photo examples of your work? 3) Check online and read reviews by other patients. Research and due diligence will always get you the best result.
Our smiles are the first things people notice, and cosmetic dentist, Dr. Sherri Worth knows how to make sure yours makes a good impression. Based in Newport Beach, California, Dr. Worth specializes in porcelain veneers, crowns and bridges, implants, and reconstructive dentistry in her state-of-the-art dental facility, fusing the latest in technology and equipment. Celebs have discovered Dr. Worth, but she believes that everyone should have beautiful Hollywood smile.
Tell us a little about your history and why you chose dentistry?
I was always handicapped by my bad teeth as a child. In fact, many women are born with teeth missing, as I was, and it obviously affects your self-esteem as a child and teenager. It was the first thing people noticed and it inspired me to study dentistry. There I learned that cosmetic dentistry isn't just about vanity, it is also about your overall health as well. My experience motivated me to create attractive and perfect smiles—I just love when my patients leave my office excited about their beautiful new teeth. I even did my own veneers because I wanted them to be perfect and knew only I could do them just right.
As a woman, did you experience difficulty as you worked your way up the professional ladder?
In some ways, yes, because it is a bit of a Men's Club with dentists and doctors, but I believe I used it to my advantage because it made me different. Not being an older male dentist helped people to relate to me, and I've tried to use it less as a handicap and more as a positive asset in my field as a family and cosmetic dentist.
What are your tips for maintaining healthy gums and teeth?
One important note is that, although it might seem logical to brush after each and every meal, this is not necessary. The length of time spent brushing or flossing is just as important as frequency is. If a period of five to ten minutes would be allocated daily to brushing and flossing, one such session would just be enough. As most people do not spend that much time cleaning their teeth, the best it is to brush and floss two times a day—the session before going to bed being the most important of all. Sleeping with food debris trapped in-between teeth turns the the mouth into a playground for bacteria to thrive and multiply.
Flossing is something else that many people seem to get perplexed about. It is not enough to place the dental floss into the space between two teeth and then just pull it through. Dental floss should be placed against the side of each tooth and it should be then slid from the top edge down under the gum line, otherwise bits of plaque will be missed.
One final quick note regards checkups and cleaning visits to the dentist; this should happen at least every half a year in the case of healthy people. If you have gum disease for example, the situation changes, especially if potentially gum aggravating factors are present. The best you can do is to ask your dentist (the person who knows your teeth best) for the ideal time of your next visit.
Are porcelain veneers permanent? How long do they last and what should a patient expect to pay?
Permanent veneers can last from 10–20 years. After that time, it is usally good to have them redone. Veneers can cost anywhere from $1,500 per tooth onward, but that is a good starting point when interviewing cosmetic dentists.
How has cosmetic dentistry changed in the last 10 years?
Wow – by leaps and bounds! From implants and veneers to the tools that help make the experience less painful and more efficient, things have changed tremendously. The materials used to make veneers have become so much stronger as well. The techniques also have come a huge way, meaning that we have a much more conservative preparation of teeth, of how to restore them, and how to save them. Periodontal disease, which includes gum diseases like gingivitis, and hygiene issues have become so much more predominant, so cosmetic dentistry isn't just vanity-related anymore; it really helps us keep our teeth much longer, and people are taking notice of that and understanding it now.

Jonathan C. LipsonHarold E. Kohn Professor of LawJonathan Lipson's principal research focus is business failure: how does--and should--the legal system respond when firms can't (or don't) pay their bills?
He has written scores of articles and book chapters considering this question from a variety of perspectives, focusing in particular on issues of governance (who gets to make decisions for the troubled firm?) and information (who knows what, when, and how about the problem?). He has published in many of the nation's top law reviews, including those of the UCLA, Boston University, Notre Dame, and Southern California law schools. His work is frequently cited, including by leading business courts, such as the Delaware Supreme Court, the Delaware Chancery Court and the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
An occasional empiricist, Lipson recently published the first study of the use of "examiners" in large chapter 11 bankruptcies. He also developed and published the first empirical study of lawyers' practice of writing closing opinions in large and complex transactions. This paper was selected for presentation at the Yale/Stanford Junior Faculty forum in 2005. His qualitative empirical study of distress investors, The Shadow Bankruptcy System, was recently excerpted in a leading collection on the current financial crisis. Some of his other major published work can be found here.
Lipson is a member of the American Law Institute and the American College of Commercial Finance Lawyers, and is active with the Business Law Section of the American Bar Association, where he is currently the Section Content Officer.

A publication based on Marcel Duchamp's 1957 essay The Creative Act, taking certain phrases from the essay and presenting them in a more visually interesting way in order to appeal to creative, visual people. The brief stipulated several restrictions (Helvetica, two colours only, A4 size) and so the aesthetic was developed around these.

I posted a work-in-progress idea a couple of weeks ago but these are the final prints. It's all gone a bit fluoro since then but I really, really like it.
The brief was to brand a Manchester art gallery called THE SPACE. The poster series promotes an exhibition called 'Noise' celebrating the very best of badly executed film photography; grainy, noisy, badly exposed. The cube features throughout the series, referencing not only the abstract 'space' of the gallery but also the chamber of a camera obscura.
We had a crit session this morning and as I was putting my prints up on the wall, I noticed that everyone else has taken the brief in a completely different direction. This time last year, I think that would have really scared me. I'd have assumed I'd 'done it wrong' or something. This year, I'm happy to be doing things differently, whether it's a good thing or not. No one wants a cookie-cutter designer.
Oh and in other news, I went and got myself a Cargo (http://cargocollective.com/elliethomas) and I'll be using that as my official portfolio from now on. But I'm going to keep posting on here though. Tumblr's been good to me, I won't abandon her yet.

PAW PAW (WKZO) -- Funeral services are being planned for an Afghan War veteran from Paw Paw who was killed, and his was truck torn to pieces in a violent high speed wreck sometime yesterday morning.
Van Buren County Deputies who saw the wreckage say it was the worst crash they had ever seen.
Deputies say Colin Nagy must have been traveling well over the limit when he crossed from Kalamazoo County into Van Buren County on 28th Street which changes from pavement to gravel at the county line.
His pick-up went out of control and into a grove of mature trees.
The truck was ripped apart and the 26-year old Nagy was ejected and killed.
It may have been hours before passersby noticed the wreckage and called police.

|Vikings coach Brad Childress has decided on a QB, but he's not telling who
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 21 September 2007 14:05
All three quarterbacks on the roster know who is going to play against the Chiefs.
But Childress is withholding that information from the rest of the team, and the public, for now. The coach said Friday that he doesn't want to take away the competitive advantage he feels he has by keeping the decision a secret.
``I don't see the upside of putting it out there,'' Childress said after practice.
Starter Tarvaris Jackson has an injured groin and did not practice all week. He's listed as doubtful for Sunday. Incumbent backup Brooks Bollinger came on in relief against Detroit last week, but fumbled a snap at midfield, allowing the Lions to drive the game-winning field goal.
That means that 11th-year veteran Kelly Holcomb could be the front runner. He was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia in the final week of the preseason, but said he feels comfortable with his knowledge of the offense.
Holcomb said he is used to the cloak-and-dagger nature of the situation from his days with the Browns.
``It was every week when I was in Cleveland,'' Holcomb said. ``It was one of those deals where, 'Hey, we're not telling.' That's just the way it is. In this league anything the other team gets, it helps them. So don't show your hand.''
Childress said he would inform the rest of the team of his decision on Saturday before they leave for Kansas City.
Receiver Bobby Wade said he has confidence in Bollinger and Holcomb.
``They both took snaps this week in practice,'' Wade said. ``It can go either way. But I think we're ready to win with either one of them.''
Notes: Jackson was the only Vikings player not to practice on Friday. Safeties Darren Sharper (hip) and Dwight Smith (hamstring), FB Tony Richardson (forearm) and RB Chester Taylor (hip/oblique) participated on a limited basis. Richardson is listed as doubtful for the Chiefs game, while Sharper, Smith and Taylor were all listed as questionable.

As the second day of Free Agency kicks off, there are more questions than answers in the nation's capital. The team has lost Mike Ribiero to the Phoenix Coyotes and Matt Hendricks to the Nashville Predators. General Manager George McPhee has been in Washington a long time. He's made some good moves, terrible moves and everything in between. This upcoming season is a telling one for the known reasons. The Capitals were embarrassed in a Game 7 on home ice in the first round and they move into a larger division with more difficult opponents.
Many of McPhee's decisions are under high scrutiny and it comes down to the philosophy that he has imprinted on this team. It will be a real gut check time as he will need the players he believed in to become the players they were meant to be. In short, McPhee has tried to draft savvy, re-sign his draft picks that play well and make trades for quality veterans with draft picks or prospects. Not an altogether bad plan but it's had some flaws and some moments where McPhee (aka GMGM) has deviated. Here's a couple examples of the philosophy in action.
Under re-sign draft picks that play well, we have Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson. After a 100 point season, Backstrom was signed long term at 6.7 million a year. Jonathan Toews gets 6.3 million. McPhee will need Backstrom to become more than just a great puck handler and distributor. Johansson showed flashes, quite literally, with his speed and the team is committed to resigning him. Consistency will be key. Jeff Schultz was one of these until the Caps bought out his contract last week. Karl Alzner falls under this category as well.
Make trades for quality veterans with draft picks or prospects. Think Troy Brouwer and Martin Erat. Brouwer has turned out well but, Erat and his 4.5 million salary will need to produce or this trade could become epic. Filip Forsberg will likely play for Nashville soon, and the Caps need a second line center. For historical perspective, the Capitals made a somewhat similar move (philosophically) when they traded Tomas Fleischmann to Florida for Dennis Wideman.
A deviation from the plan occurred when Washington signed Joel Ward to a pricey free agent contract two years ago. While three million isn't isn't the worst price in the world and Ward is one guy who does produce in the playoffs, the Caps might need that three million more than they need Joel Ward right now.
In fairness to last year's Caps, they did not have Brooks Laich and his 4.5 million salary. Laich will certainly help, but again, GMGM will need him to be a deciding factor or this looks kind of bad moving forward. No one questions the committment to resigning Alzner, Johansson and Kundratek. Hendricks ended up getting two million and it's good for him. With the Capitals cap situation they need to save money wherever they can and Hendricks role can be replaced cheaply with a prospect. Fans loved him but sometimes it just has to happen. Signing Ribiero long term would defnitely have been risky but, who will the Caps put at center now? There are no impact free agents. Did the Caps know this would happen the whole time? There must be another trade in the works…
Either way, GMGM has a lot to prove this year and so do the players he gave the franchise to.
