As a nice little close to 2010 I decided to take my dad to the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) here in Boston to celebrate his birthday Thursday evening. I'm a huge fan of the ICA (and it's free night on Thursdays, 5-9pm!) so I generally make an effort to check out new exhibits, the most recent being "paintings" and mixed media work from Mark Bradford. No, those quotation signs are not a mockery — rather, this LA-based artist creates textured and emotionally charged collages made from mundane items that give a layered effect similar to painting. With materials such as permanent wave papers (as in the perm you get at a hair salon), billboard paper, and twine, Bradford touches on his past experiences as the son of a hairdresser in LA's Leimert Park neighborhood while also incorporating urban themes such as racial conflict, emergency commerce, and social commentary. I left feeling very inspired and fascinated by his big, bold, and colorful pieces. I look forward to seeing his work evolve, especially as receives increased international recognition. If you are around the Boston area definitely check out the exhibit, which runs until March 13, 2011.
Black Venus (2005), Bradford's representation of an LA neighborhood where the planning grid and the artist's mental imagery intersect.
Corner of Desire and Piety (2008) captures the emergency commerce of post-Katrina New Orleans.
Scorched Earth (2006) references both the Iraq War and the 1921 race riots in Tulsa, OK.
If you so desire, read this New York Times article to learn more about the artist and exhibit!

Vanessa's New Oakland Digs
House Tour
Name: Vanessa Jeschke
Location: Lake Merritt, Oakland, CA
Size: 1,000 square feet, 2 bedroom
Years lived in: 3.5 months
We discovered the home of Apartment Therapy reader Vanessa on Flickr, and approached her about doing a house tour. Her clean aesthetic with careful attention to detail and cheerful vignettes throughout her home called out to us immediately. She was in the process of moving when we spoke to her in November, and promised to let us in once she was settled. Much to our delight, Vanessa has speedily made herself at home and is opening it up to her fellow readers!
It's not really much of a surprise that Vanessa was able to put her home together so beautifully so quickly after moving--she's a graphic designer with a keen sense of balance and detail. Originally from Portland, OR, she made a stop in Seattle before finally ending up in the Bay Area three years ago. She has settled in with her dog and roommate, and quickly made their new apartment their own. Take a look at the beautiful balance of minimalism with "real life," the soft but deliberate colors, and the cheerful vignettes filled with personality.
AT Survey:
My/Our style: Clean simple lines. Comfortable. Timeless. Modern. Color.
Inspiration: I am inspired by the urban neighborhoods that I have lived in, both in the northwest, and here in Oakland. The way that the new is layered on top of old is such an interesting aesthetic to me. Ultra modern buildings right alongside ornate pre-war structures; and the way that is is all so organic and slowly and contently evolving into something new, driven by the changing needs and lifestyles of the people living there. My training in graphic design is also a huge influence. All of the key elements of design—color, balance, scale, etc—apply no matter the application.
Favorite Element: The french doors and windows.
Biggest Challenge: Aside from everything that goes along with renting and being on a budget (the inability to paint or change fixtures and such) this was a single family home that has been divided into a duplex. As a result, the bedrooms are huge, and the other rooms are small and oddly shaped.
What Friends Say: : Mostly that my is very "Vanessa". I take that as a complement. I hope that people feel comfortable and welcome in my home.
Biggest Embarrassment: Lack of frames for the art.
Proudest DIY: I make a lot of stuff, most of it ends up being forced onto my friends and family in the form of "gifts". One of my goals is to have more handmade in my home.
Biggest Indulgence: I would say the Eames chairs, but they were gifts. I actually take a lot of pride in my thriftiness.
Best advice: Only bring things into your home that you love. Don't worry so much if something "matches". By choosing things that you truly love, your personal taste and style with show, and everything will have a since of "going" together.

I love your yellow nightstand! Is it refurbished piece with the drawer taken out, or was it made that way? I just found a yellow shelf that I wanted to use as my nightstand, but it's super expensive. If yours is refurbished maybe I can copy you!
Anyway--cute place! Very airy and simple and pretty. I like.
Love the bicycle wheels and the row of little frames in the bathroom
Cute place (love the photos above the bed and sofa) but in my opinion this is one of those house tours that is WAY too heavy on the closeups and 'vignettes'.
Too cool.
The house is cute, but I agree these tours are getting crazy with the extreme close-ups. I had a giggle with the jar of buttons. Was that meant to signify something?
I mean, the pattern of the shower curtain? A little windowsill statue? A towel ring? Three pictures in increasingly close range of.... paintbrushes on a desk?
Please just show us the house!
The "Keep Calm" poster AND the "For Like Ever" poster in the same room? Oh jeez.....prepare for the deluge.
That said, I am glad to finally see that Urban Outfitters in more detail. And the coffee table, too.
i love that little print of the espresso makers on your fridge and the throw on your couch. where are they from?
First: kudos to Vanessa. Great job on the apartment. But I have to say the photographer didn't do you any favors. A blurry close-up of the shower curtain?! I know a lot of people would love to work for AT and this type of photography just doesn't show the the place to its full advantage. By the way, the photos aren't arty or avant garde. They're just frustrating!!!! Thanks again to Vanessa for sharing her beautiful home and pitch perfect sense of style.
BlackFrancine, I think that the yellow table is from Ikea, it is the Trollsta table.
Such a cute home! I wish I could move in! Love the bedside table lamp and the wall mounted dish drainer. Can you tell me where you got them? Thanks!
Agree totally with Sharpette. I am so tired of excessive vignettes on this site. I don't need to see someone's cute charming "finds" up-close (and in such large number) to get that they have good taste. And they do nothing to give me a sense of how a room hangs together overall.
There are some nice things going on here...but for the most part I was distracted by all the Dunnys and some of the art being hung too high. I won't even comment on the two Posters That Shall Not Be Named.
Thanks, suzy8track! I'm a girl of simple means: Ikea still impresses me.
vanessa here,
I am the one responsible for the photos, and I had the choice of a 50mm lens (not great for wide shots) or a rather crappy point and shoot. I think that Jessica decided to show more of the nicer/bright shots from 50mm lens. You can see more wide angle shots here on flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21169071@N00/sets/72157613250722511/
To answer a few questions:
1) Yellow table is Ikea.
2) espresso makers print on the fridge is Sandra Juto, and the throw on the couch is from DWR.
3) bedside lamp is from local store Klassik By Lynne and the dish racks are Ikea.
thank you all for the complementary words.
yay for kidRobot <3
Love the Frank Kozik pieces and your moppy little dog! Great house overall, and in the up-and-coming Lake Merritt area, too. And now... a question. Is Klassik by Lynne as pricey as I fear? In other words, when I finally make it there, should I resign myself to coveting things I can't afford?
I agree--way too many close-ups of stuff! Also, why no photos of the favorite French doors?
Hurray for your SF 2012 poster! I have the same one! Love the apartment, too. Very clean look, great use of color without overwhelming the senses.
Great, simply laid-out apartment, but I must agree with the majority of commenters. A few two many close-ups... and I'd like to see those french doors.
Maybe we can see an update of your lovely home, Vanessa, if you decide to add to the decor, paint, or whathaveyou. :)
the worst photographed house tour i've seen. waaay too many distance and then close-up shots of stuff.
Need more shots of entire rooms as a whole... twas the same issue with that nice studio apartment from the other day!!!
I spy a Smorking Labbit and an anerable doggie! Lovely home.
Hello! I was wondering where you bought/who makes the clock on your bedside table? Also, the little man on the table is cute! Where is he from? Thanks!
rosenatti: prepare yourself for high prices at Klassik by Lynne, that is why it is on my "dream source" list. ;) But that shouldn't stop you from looking around. They do have warehouse sales form time to time, which is where I got the lamp.
jullietjuliet: the clock is a vintage thrift store find, and the little guy is from kidrobot.
I always love clutter-free apartments! Yay! One small suggestion? Do not keep that spikey snake plant in your bedroom, especially near your head. It goes by the nickname "Mother-in-law's Tongue", btw. In any case, it's not good feng shui in your bedroom. You want gentle yin curvy leaved plants if any.
Great place and cute doggie. Thanks for sharing.
Great tray under your toaster. I think I'll do that to make mine look less cluttery. I admire your editing eye and clean place.
love this space--simple and modern with personality and color! thanks for sharing :)
Nice cookbook collection!
Sorry to have to say this ... but ... terrible photography.
I LOVE the house tours on AT. But someone needs to edit the excessive pictures of tiny objects, that show no sense of the overall design in people's home. If this were a sight on photography, they'd be appropriate. But it's not.
No offense to her house tour.
relax, people... the owner has the right to show what he/she wants to show.
Beautiful place and I love your Discardian attitude! With "bring nothing into your home that you do not love" as a touchstone, I think the detail photos make absolute sense. (Don't let the snarking get you down. Some folks don't always remember that the web is made of people and that Apartment Therapy is about apartments first and foremost. I'm sure there are plenty of nice photo sites elsewhere for anyone requiring perfection in that department.)
Thank you for giving us such a personal tour of your lovely home and things! Very inspiring!
You must be one organized lady and your ability to edit is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to see the building. Lake Merritt -Oakland has wonderful architecture that inspires me greatly. I used to live on Grand Ave by the bike shop and Margie's Bridal store. Going for walks and just admiring the building would make me want to go home and re-decorate!
Back to your apartment, I really love the sewing area and your white and Yellow combo throughout! Your minimalist aesthetic is very fun. I love the yellow side table in your room. I always see at Ikea and have wondered how "one"could use it. You are giving me ideas! Oh , I live in Seattle now : )
Where can I purchase the SF 2012 poster?
Great Apartment!

The problem is really not with healers or tanks not adjusting to the cata model. Like you said relearning your class doesn't take that long, when was the last time you saw a priest chain casting flash heal? When they go oom after 3 flash heals is it really that hard to understand that it's not the best course of action and swtich to more efficient spells? Generally tanks and healers are used to having more responsibility so they are very proactive in mastering their class. I'm not saying all of the tanks and healers are good, but honestly I've seen more problems with dps. And even more problems with people just being jerks in PuGs. Yeah they are good they can pop 15k dps but they are jerks.
That brings me to my next point. Cata heroics are not hard indeed. After having some gear they are not difficult. But they are still long and annoying (and everything becomes annoying once you have to do it daily). In Wrath they were annoying but easy and short now they are long and annoying. In Wrath they were easy so that you could chain them up with a friend while messing around and having fun; now they are long and often times you have to endure them with horrible pugs who are hellbent on making your life miserable. I don't even have a choice of not doing it with pugs since most of my friends quit WoW due to boredom and frustration with Cata.
I want Wrath back when I could mess around and have fun with my friends. I don't want to expirience long and annoying Cata content with elitists.

Found February 01, 2013 on New York Sports-Kings:
PLAYERS: Travis Hafner, Alex Rodriguez, Raul Ibanez, Eric Chavez, Andruw Jones, Kevin Youkilis
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks
So is anyone sick of talking about Alex Rodriguez yet? Since the answer to that question is probably yes, here is some more Yankee news that should interest fans. On Thursday, the Yankees and former Cleveland Indian Travis Hafner agreed to a one year deal worth about $2 million which could turn to $4 million based on plate appearances. Hafner is expected to fill the role that Raul Ibanez took a stranglehold over last year. If that's the case, prepare for Hafner to hit a couple of huge homeruns late in the year. Hafner is not the player that he used to, but that is not why the Yankees signed him. The 35-year old will be a lefty bat off of the bench that will start as the DH from time to time. If he can stay healthy (which has been a problem over the years) he will grow to love the short right field porch in Yankee Stadium. One thing is for sure; Hafner will be brought in for his pop. At 6'3" and 240 pounds, Hafner will not be asked to play too much in the field but may occasionally relieve Mark Texiera at first. During the peak of his career (2004-2007), Hafner hit a total of 127 homeruns including a career high 42 in 2005. Hafner's production declined after he signed a four year, $57 million contract extension during the 2007 season. From 2008-2012, he only played in only 429 games out of a possible 810. During those years his batting average was only .251 which was 47 points lower than his average during the 2004-2007 seasons. But this is not the first time the Yankees have taken a guy who was presumably "done" and resurrected his career. Just look back at the last few seasons. Eric Chavez, Andruw Jones and Ibanez all came to the Yankees after other teams gave up on them and all three were productive members of the team. Chavez and Ibanez used their time with the Yankees to get deals with other teams this year (the Diamondbacks and the Mariners respectively. Even in this role, Hafner's production should go up this year with the Yankees. Besides playing in Yankee Stadium, the Yankees still possess a lineup with a lot of big bats throughout. There will be no pressure for Hafner to produce everyday and that will be a benefit for him. Unfortunately for the Yankees, Hafner is not going to be a guy that is going to lead this team to the playoffs. The Yankees have been quiet this off-season which is different from their standard high spending, but A-Rod's contract is making the Yankees change their philosophy. Besides signing Kevin Youkilis to play third this year while Rodriguez is out, getting Hafner has been their only other significant signing. He may not be a game-changer, but Hafner should fill this role perfectly. Instead of batting third or fourth, he will now be towards the bottom to the lineup when he is in. He can't be expected to be the MVP of the 2013 season, but expect Hafner to be the latest guy to resurrect his career in pinstripes.

Internet marketing world get-rich-quick schemes
Just about everybody in the Internet marketing world has a get-rich-quick scheme these days. Start looking around and you'll find dozens of so-called "gurus" who are willing to share their techniques with you for some cash. The problem with these guys is that they often don't even practice the techniques they offer.
They just make money selling books and the techniques they offer really don't have real-world applications. They can offer you platitudes about what to do to create a successful Internet business but not a real money-making technique.
When it comes to Search Engine Optimization, commonly known as SEO, most aspiring Internet Marketers think immediately of Google Ad words. The problem is, you may be thinking of Ad words, but so is everyone else. Google has wisely caught on to this and have appropriately raised their rates, making them untenable for many. Couple that with the new regulations coming down the pipe from Google and you have some serious problems.
1 Comment
In the UK, a large number of businesses have identified the internet as a viable means of increasing sales.However, the majority (from my own market research of 500 business using Adwords) have had a dreadful experience with an SEO company and see a ppc solutions as the only way forward.However the market is turning full circle, as Adwords becomes more popular and hence more expensive the same companies are revisiting SEO consultants; possibly a little poorer and maybe a little wiser.Benedicst is an SEO Consultant based in London

I've never played FarmVille, and likely never will because it annoys me to no end -- first filling up my Facebook page, and now garnishing the groceries at my local convenience store.
Yes, the addictive game has taken a step off the screen into your nearest 7-Eleven.
From Slurpees to sandwiches, you can now be lured by the appeal of the FarmVille crew. And not only will you be getting some pretty packaging marketing the game, you'll also get codes for items you need/want to play the game.
For example, if you buy a cold sandwich, you will get a FarmVille Sandwich Cart. If you buy a fresh cup of fruit (at least it's not all junk food!), a FarmVille Chocolate Persimmon Tree can be yours; and if it's a FarmVille Neapolitan Cow you seek, then what a great excuse to pick up some ice cream.
For those of us who have been too lazy to block the FarmVille updates and just seethe in annoyance when we see them ALL THE TIME, this is just adding insult to injury that previously ended when we switched off of our computer.
Because now, no freezer is safe, no picnic lunch immune; you just may find those little animals staring at you when you least suspect it.
Beyond a bottle of water now and then, I'm not much for buying food at 7-Eleven, but if I did, I would do everything in my power to make sure it was NOT branded with FarmVille. Now, if we were talking Bejeweled codes, well, that may be another story ...
For those of you who are fans and want to grab some of the FarmVille grub (if you haven't already), hurry, because most reports say the promotion will end July 15 ... though it's subject to change.
Have you purchased any of the FarmVille groceries? Will you?
Image via gizmodo
I've got a couple of slurpee cups, just cause my hubby likes them. I keep meaning to offer the codes to someone but never get around to it, I need to throw them out I think! LOL
I have not bought the goods cuz the closest 7-11 to me is 100 miles. But I do enjoy playing Farmville.
Ugh. How pathetic! Anything to make money I guess.
*sigh* I am glad this is just a temporary thing!
lol, now I have to go find a 7-eleven. my boys would get a kick out of this. I used to do farmville but it's been a few mo since I've farmed
I got the mafia wars slurpee

[edit] Super Smash Bros.
Kirby's stage, Dream Land, is a very simple stage. There is the main platform on the bottom, then three floating platforms. Two of the platforms are at equal height, on either side of the middle of the stage. Another platform is higher up and in between the two other platforms. One thing to watch out for in Dream Land is the Wispy Willow, who will blow wind to either the right or the left side of the stage. The wind shouldn't blow any characters off the stage unless you're standing on the edge, but look out for it.
[edit] Super Smash Bros. Melee
The home of the Whispy wood is back, with it's simple platform arrangement and trademark strong winds. See the SSB stage descriptions for more information.

TRAX trains along Main Street in Salt Lake City were delayed Sunday afternoon due to a power issue.
The Utah Transit Authority is looking into whether the problem is with the power grid in the area or with the vehicle that stalled on the track at about 1:45 p.m. However, by 2:45 p.m., train service resumed on one of the two tracks, bringing delays down to a minimum, said Gerry Carpenter, UTA spokesman. Trains were back on schedule by 3:45 p.m.

You don't hear much positive press about driving or cars today, unless they're edgy cars with alternative fuel sources and gaudy mileage. Walking, biking, and busing are more pro-social modes of transport, and enjoy rave reviews.
With good reason, certainly. We're concerned about climate change, ungainly carbon footprints, obesity (somewhat a function of car dependency), oil dependency, and the price of gas.
Cars are linked to a culture of waste and sloth. A dear friend of mine once lectured that life in the 1950s was about driving your huge, gas-guzzling car down the highway, and tossing your garbage from your McDonald's dinner out the window while you did it.
Still, there is one good thing about a car for which I've not found an exact replacement: It seems to make conversation between parent and child so much easier, and more fruitful.
Invariably, I find that my 10 year old tells me more from the back seat of my car, just as we're driving to and from school, or on longer, meandering car trips. Even short drives in the daily routine seem to stimulate more disclosure of feelings and information than I'd otherwise glean.
The typical, non-car dialogue might go like this:

Abnormally small head usually associated with developmental delay. Microcephaly may happen if the brain is damaged before birth by congenital rubella (German measles), other viral infections, maternal alcohol use in preganancy or other problems. It may also result from brain damage during birth, injury, or disease in early infancy. There is also a rare inherited form of microcephaly.

I'm really starting to become a fan of your work. It is clean, sharpand full of life. This piece is no difference. I think it's funny that it mimics your NG avatar in her pose (and maybe that was the intend). Extra kudos for the expresson (helped by the open mouth), and leaving her upper torso completely black instead of giving it something depth through colouring or texture, it really helps the focus on her face. Very well done.
Thank you! ^^ In fact I don't consider this illustration like a completely illustration. For me it's a concept art about a face. It's a character disign but only one part.
Then the main attention is in this part, the face, her expression,her hair, the symbol, and what can she transmit with this and the background it's only for creating an atmosphere.

Here I am sitting in my last and least favorite class of the day. Not to mention its Valentine's Day and I finally have a date, the last place I want to be is world civ recitation. I did most of the reading for the class that week on the treacherously cold walk to class in fear of a quiz. Correct to my suspicions I was right, and false to my expectation I did quite well until I got to the bonus…
What country did Valentine's Day originate in? When did it begin being celebrated?
Then it hit me…. I had not a clue in the world. Valentine? Um, hmm kind of sounds like a roman name, St. Valentine? Yeah! Yeah, I think that's right, I will go with that. Oh man I'm thinking at least in the 1900s I mean you never heard about Cesar doing anything for valentines and that was way before the Byzantines….
So, I finished with two wild guesses, the one about St Valentine being right. Although, this got me to think, why do people celebrate a holiday that they have no idea what or who it is they are celebrating and what was the proper way to celebrate? So like any kid, I went on the internet to further my research about this holiday and ended up finding an interesting article on inventors.com; Turns out historians argue about Valentines' true identity although they know indefinitely that he was roman, he was said to have wrote a letter in prison to a jailers daughter and then in the 15th century a man did the same and by the 18th century couples all over were exchanging handwritten letters. It wasn't until 1840 that it became a well known holiday in America and now people all over the world participate in spending time with those that they love, exchanging gifts, passion and have a good time doing the things that they love.

Unique insight into the attitudes and expectations of today's leading graduate talent
|Press release
|Watch the video
Tirana, 4 April 2013– Despite common beliefs to the contrary, members of the so-called 'Generation Y' (those born in the late 1980s and early 1990s) are not a homogenous group sharing similar attitudes to work and work-life balance. Students from Poland and Hungary, for example, differ considerably in their attitudes to work, career plans, expectations and ambitions. What's more, those from the Baltic states (Lithuania and Latvia in particular) are more optimistic than those from the other nine countries, while those from the Balkans are the least positive.
This is one of the key findings of Deloitte's 3rd "First Steps into the Labour Market" report, which for the first time includes input from over 4,000 "talents" across 11 different countries in the Central European region (having expanded from one country in its 2010 debut issue and five in 2011), where "talents" are defined as deliberately targeted group of students and recent graduates mostly from business faculties in major cities.
According to Gavin Flook, Talent Partner, Deloitte Central Europe, "While it is good to see high levels of personal confidence among so many of the participants in our survey, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that many will eventually be disappointed by the fact that employers do not hold them in quite such high esteem as they do themselves.
More than 68% of the Albanian participants believe that they offer higher value as a potential employee. And since most of the respondents are at the very beginning of their career, it is quite understandable that their beliefs are based on academic progress rather than on real job experience- emphasizes Nuriona Berdica, Audit Director, Deloitte Albania
"The students and recent graduates we surveyed also reported that they felt universities could and should provide better preparation for the world of work and the process of finding a job. Maybe better preparation of this sort would ensure that recent graduates deliver better value for their employers from day one."
According to Nuriona Berdica,"The career services department within the universities shall need to put more efforts in creating programmes that will assist students in exploring and developing their future career plans; coordinating graduate/professional school fairs, seminars, workshops to assist them in those endeavours. In addition, the collaboration gap between universities and business community is a factor which tells us that now is the time for the universities to adopt approaches and programmes that contribute to a better informative and educative system of course by working closely with the business community".
Improvement in this area may, in fact, have a key role to play in addressing high unemployment among young people, including graduates, which is one of the most significant issues affecting the Central Europe region and EU as a whole.
Another interesting highlight is that a high proportion of students and recent graduates from leading universities across Central Europe tend to rate their own abilities highly, ahead of those peers with whom they are competing for employment. And in a closely related issue, their financial expectations for a first job can also exceed what the region's employers are prepared to pay their first-time employees, often significantly exceeding their country's average national salary.
The report also found that many of the attributes of an employer that are most effective in attracting and retaining the region's leading graduate talent are not difficult or expensive to implement. For example, opportunities for lasting development and learning are the most important criteria in selecting a job, while appreciation and recognition for the quality of work done are the most powerful means of retaining the best people. As Flook comments, "These tend to be attributes of good employers anyway, and are actually more effective than offering high salaries."
In addition, the report shows that today's young people value work as highly as older generations do, exploding the myth that they are more focused on self-development and free time. In fact, they value work sufficiently highly that most respondents say they would be willing to move, either within their home country or abroad, to take an attractive job. According to Flook, "Such readiness to relocate may help international corporations to fill the talent gap, although it may also create a drain on talent in local employment markets across the region."

NTFS Self-Healing is An Overlooked but Useful Feature in Windows 7
Weve covered how to use the old school CHKDSK command check on disk in Windows 7 yesterday but what we didnt touch is actually even better. Its a nice new feature that I didnt realize its existed either until very recently.
Basically, once the feature is turned on, Window will detect a physical file system error and automatically fix it on the fly without you even noticing it happened. Because of this, you actually have a lot less chances having to run CHKDSK to check the disk manually because most likely the errors you suspected may have been fixed by this self-healing process already.
NTFS Self-healing is turned on by default in Windows 7 but if you are not sure you can use the following command to make sure. Note that the command has to be run as Administrator.
fsutil repair query c:
However, there is a possible downside that you may have already been thinking and wondering. Yes, the data may potentially be removed silently without users knowledge during the self-healing process. To address this issue, Microsoft added BugCheckOnCorrupt option that does something you may think its crazy.
It throws a BSOD (blue screen of death) and shuts everything down instead of attempting to fix the error, if the system discovers any NTFS corruptions.
Yes, not every BSOD is bad. Some of them happened in purpose, just like this as designed. It does sound crazy because why you would want the system crash, but from the data safety perspective, this attempt is actually better because it increases the chances of having the data recovered from the corruption.
Besides, this is not turned on by default and its suggested that you only need to turn it on only if you have the doubts on your hard drive.
To turn it on, simply type the following command as Administrator.
fsutil behavior set BugcheckOnCorrupt 1
Reboot your computer and run the following command as Administrator again to set which drive you want to check.
fsutil repair set <drive name> 0×10
To turn it off after its turned on:
fsutil behavior set BugcheckOnCorrupt 0
Thats it, hope it helps.

How Ukraine Became a Market Economy and Democracy
AbstractOne of Europe's old nations steeped in history, Ukraine is today an undisputed independent state. It is a democracy and has transformed into a market economy with predominant private ownership. Ukraine's postcommunist transition has been one of the most protracted and socially costly, but it has taken the country to a desirable destination. * Aslund's vivid account of Ukraine's journey begins with a brief background, where he discusses the implications of Ukraine's history, the awakening of society because of Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms, the early democratization, and the impact of the ill-fated Soviet economic reforms. He then turns to the reign of President Leonid Kravchuk from 1991 to 1994, the only salient achievement of which was nation-building, while the economy collapsed in the midst of hyperinflation. The first two years of Leonid Kuchma's presidency, from 1994 to 1996, were characterized by substantial achievements, notably financial stabilization and mass privatization. The period 1996-99 was a miserable period of policy stagnation, rent seeking, and continued economic decline. In 2000 hope returned to Ukraine. Viktor Yushchenko became prime minister and launched vigorous reforms to cleanse the economy from corruption, and economic growth returned. The ensuing period, 2001-04, amounted to a competitive oligarchy. It was quite pluralist, although repression increased. Economic growth was high. * The year 2004 witnessed the most joyful period in Ukraine, the Orange Revolution, which represented Ukraine's democratic breakthrough, with Yushchenko as its hero. The postrevolution period, however, has been characterized by great domestic political instability; a renewed, explicit Russian threat to Ukraine's sovereignty; and a severe financial crisis. The answers to these challenges lie in how soon the European Union fully recognizes Ukraine's long-expressed identity as a European state, how swiftly Ukraine improves its malfunctioning constitutional order, and how promptly it addresses corruption.

Lost with no direction0 Reviews
Lisa Alomore broke out of a all male prison where she didn't belong. She finds herself in the labyrinth and asks the king to let her finish some unfinished business.Please read and review.Don't own!
I crouched in the tall grass behind the prison wall. I had covered my cell in brussle sprouts to get rid of my scent. The dogs wouldn't be able to track me with their noses. My shoulder length bright red hair hung in my icy blue eyes. I had no idea how I wan't spotted with my red hair. CO's swarm passed me in an attempt to catch me, but they didn't know I was behind them. Once they were a few yards up ahead I sprinted to the forest.
I heard shouting and I knew they had spotted me and were running to catch up. I was dodging bullets. Literary, they were shooting at me. One bullet got my leg, a few inches below my knee. I cried out in pain and fell to one knee. I saw a large log and crawled to it for a hiding place.
"Man, I wish I had a quick way out of here." I whispered to myself. I crawled to the end of the log. It was long and wide enough to hide me so I crawled in, ignoring the pain in my leg. It seemed to go on and on and it was dark inside. The log seemed to get wider also. After a while there was a dim light at the end.
I couldn't here any of the sounds that were at the prison. I reached the end and peered out. Instead of green trees and grass and rich dark brown dirt, there was a brown landscape. It had little trees and even those that were there was dead and brown. There was light brown dirt and rocks. I crawled out of the hole I was in and looked around. I was on a hill top, beside a dead tree.
The breeze was light but cool, despite the warm atmosphere. I walked slowly down the steep hill and saw a big brown stone wall. A small pond was to my left and to my right a short man was spraying...bugs? I stepped closer and saw they were tiny people with wings or...fairies? I furrowed my brow in confusion. Fairies don't exist, they are just fictional beings. I shook my head and looked at the small man spraying them without him noticing me.
He wore and orange brown vest, brown shorts, shoes, and cap.
"Ex...excuse me? Can you tell me where I am?" I asked. The man jumped and turned around to face me.
"You's at the Labyrinth, didn't Jareth bring ya 'er to have ya solve 'is Labyrinth?" He asked confused.
"Jareth? I'm sorry, I don't know any Jareth's."
"The goblin king." He clarifies.
"No, I just... appeared here. I wished for a way out and crawled under a log and it led me here." Thinking about my wound made it hurt again. AS if on cue, I collapsed on the ground and I gasped through the pain. The man walked up to me,almost as if he was worried, and sat by me,looking at my wound.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I got shot by a cop." I explained. The look on his face told me he had no idea what I was talking about. He shrugged.
"Got's to get ye to the king." He said. "Come on, you can walk can't ya?"
I nod and stand up slowly. He leads me to some doors that were not there a moment ago and we go through them. The paths went left and right. The one to the left was clear, not one log on the ground, the one to the right had logs, and leaves on the ground.
"Which way we going little man?" I ask. "Left or right?"
"Don't call me that. Mine's name is Hoggle."
"Oh, Uh, Hoggle. Will we be going left or right?"
He looked surprised for a minute but shook his head.
"Neither." He said and walked up to the wall. I furrowed my browns together in confusion as I watched him. He continued to walk through the wall! I gasped in surprised and slowly fallowed as if I would run into the wall. I didn't, I faced a new part. It didn't look new though.
It still had a narrow space, and we had to go strait. A opening to my right came into view. A sign above it read 'riddlers'. We heard laughing coming from it. Hoggle ignored it and went on. Five seconds later another corridor came into view to my right. This one's sign said 'Knockers', and we heard shouting and mumbling coming from there. Still, Hoggle went on.
Five more seconds another corridor. This one said 'Fearie forest', we heard laughing and singing there. Hoggle picked up his pace and practically ran from there. The next corridor had a horrible stench coming from it. I tried my best not to puke. The sign read, 'Bog of eternal stench.' Hoggle zoomed past that one too. After about another ten minutes we came to the last corridor.
It was the junk yard. Hoggle turned and we entered it. There were people there that had a huge amount of junk on their backs. One lady walked up to me. She studied me and reached for the locket I had around my neck. Hoggle glared at her and she went away, we continued to the gates. Once we got there a man, no goblin, as Hoggle said, in armor stopped us.
"State you business." He demanded.
"We need to see the king." Hoggle says. The goblin stared at me.
"She a runner?"
"No, I don't know how I got here. That's why I got to see your king." I say to him. He nods and lets us pass. Once we reach the city I see chickens running loose, goblins running around either chasing chickens or doing 'chores'. We walk strait up to the massive castle and go inside. The castle was made of stone. Every inch was stone, except the big wooden doors that we passed through.
The doors led us to a thrown room. Goblins were every where. chasing chickens, pigs, laughing, drinking, eating. A large dip in the ground had a horde of sleeping goblins in it. A man sat in a thrown at the top of three stairs. He had one leg thrown across the arm and a hand on his chin. He looked deep in thought.
He had on gray pants that were very tight, brown boots, a long sleeved cream colored shirt with puffed sleeves and it opened up to the chest where he wore a brown vest. He had black leather gloves on ans held a riding crop. He had shoulder length white blond hair that looked like it was rock star style. It looked really good on him actually. Hoggle pulled me up with him to the first step.
"Your highness?" Hoggle asked unsure of himself. The blond man turned and looked at us. He tilted his head and furrowed his brows.
"This lil' lady, she don't know how she got here, and she hurt. Says she got shot by a cop." He stood and circled me.
"Is that so?" He asked. I nod and tell him my story.
He took a look at my wound and frowned.
"Take her to the infirmary and get that bullet out of her leg." He commanded. "I'll see what I'm going to do with you later." He says as I am being dragged off by a goblin.
Once in the infirmary I sit down on the exam table. A woman with pale purple skin and even paler purple hair comes up to me. Her ears are pointed and she has bright purple eyes. She wears a light green dress and a white apron.
"Hello, I'm Doctor Anninthia. Or you can just call me Ann." She says shyly.
"I'm Lisa." She nods.
"Let me see your leg."
"How did you-?"
"It's my job to know. This may hurt."
Damn strait it hurt! It hurt like Hell! So much so I passed out.

This is a tough time for the NBA.
Just days after Anthony Davis broke his hand, his former Kentucky teammate has suffered the same fate:
This is a big blow to the Bobcats, who are hovering around .500 this season, and that might just be good enough to get them into the playoffs in a terrible Eastern Conference. Kidd-Gilchrist is averaging 9 points and 5 rebounds so far, but it's his hustle and defense that is valuable to Charlotte. This is a team who has a slim margin for error, and this could end up hurting them more than many think.
If you're keeping track, Paul Pierce, Anthony Davis, and now Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are now out with broken hands. Pierce is out for 2-4 weeks, and Davis is out for a minimum of 4 weeks. MKG's status is unknown, but expect some details to be released tomorrow. Hopefully this isn't a trend, as injuries aren't good for the NBA. Here's hoping Kidd-Gilchrist can get back soon.

Tattoos are a great way to express yourself. I don't have any myself because I don't trust my own taste, but I respect people who are confident enough to get them. That being said, there are a lot of people who's self-confidence is really, really misguided. And, thanks to the magic of the internet, we get the pleasure of seeing their tattoo folly. So sit back and be prepared to laugh. This list is going to be good.

Germ obsessed? Then this iPhone money clip system probably isn't for you. But if you can cope with a bit more added guck, germs and all the possibility of staph infection seeping its way into your face, then have a close look at the Poddities clip.
Installation probably doesn't get any more simple, though the process looks to be a bit fiddly. And while we'd never recommend that you touch a screw on the iPhone, that's exactly what you'll have to do to complete the installation process. Included is a screw driver for removing those ultra small iPhone screws. Those are replaced by slightly longer ones, which presumably account for the added thickness of the money clip. Once things are tightly in place you'll be able to attach money as well as credit cards to the back of your iPhone all without one of those bulky and sometime unsightly cases. However, keep in mind the Poddities money clip could get caught on clothing and tear your pants off in what will surely be the most embarrassing circumstance of your life. That, or you could attach it to your pants pocket and no longer suffer "dropped iPhone syndrome."
You can grab one for about $33.

A mom with two kids was traveling on the bus. When she reached her stop, she grabbed her bags and one of the kids and... OOPS! She left her other child, a toddler, alone on the bus. No one noticed until the bus took off. Needless to say, the little guy became "distraught" when he realized he was alone.
But it all turned out all right! A social worker happened to be on the bus. She took the boy and they got off at the next stop, and walked back to the previous stop. There was his mom, who had realized too late that she'd forgotten something very important on the bus. And I really can't judge her because I can totally see myself doing the same thing.
If you live in a city where you depend a lot on public transportation, this is a parent's worst nightmare. (Or anyway, one of them.) You're never just riding with only your child and nothing else -- you've always got a bunch of shopping bags, school bags, your hand bag, mittens, hats, gloves, you name it. Fortunately, I've only left behind mittens and hats, not my son. But then, I only have one so it's easier for me. I can't imagine juggling all of that with two kids.
Once when some friends of ours were visiting from California we all got on a subway train together. And then, when we reached our stop, we all got off -- except for one of their daughters! We were all reunited eventually, but it was terrifying. Every city kid learns from their parents what to do if they get separated on public transportation. But it's kind of hard to teach your kid what to do when he's only a toddler.
Anyone can make this mistake. English Prime Minister David Cameron left his eight-year-old daughter behind at a pub a few months ago. But thank goodness for other caring adults who step in and help us out when we make mistakes!
Have you ever lost track of your child in a public place?

no never I only have 1 kid
ooH Jenny Ford you seem like the MOST PERFECT parent out there!! ugh please- When my son was first born the hubby was soo use to it being just the two of us that half the time he would lock up the car (2-door) without reaching in the back and grabbing the carrier- that happened for about the first 4-5 months it was cute to see him get use to having a baby around- and once we accidentally left my lil brother at the beach we all made it home and realized he was in neither car - my mom rushed back to the beach to find him sitting down eating pizza lol I had NEVER seen my mom so freaked out before lol
I remember when me and my sister were little, probably 6 & 7-respectively, and we were on our weekend trip to grandma's house in the country. We all stopped at the routine rest stop. My sister and I went to the restroom, as usual, and when we came out the car was gone. I am not sure how long it was--but my sister and I calmly sat on the curve and waited--no tears--no nothing. When the car pulled into the parking lot, with ample speed--mind you, the grown-ups were hysterical with tears and all--especially our mom. At a tender age of 6, I thought it was funny--and still do. They each thought the other had a handle on the "kids". At 40+, when I travel up the same highway and see that same rest stop, I smile.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Back in Icc times the raids ,in the guild me and a few other friends were in, unfortunately were full and we had zilch raiding exp. So as soon as we got our 232's from the Icc 5-mans we actually started forming a weekly pug raid and after a few weeks we got invited to the guild run and become regulars.
So sometimes the best way to get used to raiding is to start your own
The "don't be new on my time" culture is a huge part of WoW. I won't say it's a good part, but it's pretty intrinsic with the game being the industry leader (thus "serious business") thusly roping their content off with execution proficiency (thus "srs bsns") as opposed to sheer gear power. The circular logic is broken by the implied social barrier of playing with friends, (who will tolerate a learning curve of their friends) which is a key and intentional focus of both cataclysm and the direction of the game going forward.
The reason content seems "unPUG'able" is because you're, ideally, not supposed to be PUGing, "current" content, you're supposed to have friends, and thus be a team player, to consider this degree of team content. No friends, no content. Again, an intentional barrier, that further penetrates the guild structure itself, as a guild of friends won't have so pronounced a "don't be new on my time" ethic, but "a guild assembled to raid" still might. Again: "no friends, no content". An intentional barrier.
The answer: make friends.
Can't make friends? It's not in Blizzard's best interest to have you feel successful in current team content. Their product is bettered by the socially maladjusted either moving on to non-team content, or leaving the game. The community is "the weakest link" after all, and this is their attempt to fix it. It's subtle, but very obvious.
This doesn't mean that some pretty cold guilds don't feel success in the game, but they do so based on the strength of their agreements and policies. Progress can also be made in a laid back, friendly atmosphere. What won't work, and purposely so, is an impatient, unfriendly, mercenary, half organized "non team" (so, your average PUG). Again, intentional.
Catering to casuals is laudable and noble, and I hope they keep that up. Catering to the socially maladjusted is something I hope they never do. That's a degree of co-dependency that is carefully fostered by execution-intensive fights.
People who complain about raid organizers requiring some proof of competency or prior success - have rarely attempted to organize things themselves.
Herding 24 (or 39) cats successfully through a maze filled with obstacles and fickle RNG while trying to maintain a semblance of raid comp, time efficiency and loot fairness you learn quickly that it becomes a lot easier if you're dealing with people who already know what's up.
If you don't, then get in a guild or start your own. Make friends, find an entry level guild and start working your way up.
Or continue to complain, I suppose.

I get that people are scared in the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings, and that schools are trying to do what they can to prevent violence. However, when a 7-year-old gets kicked out of school for packing a pastry that looks like a gun, we have to question if things haven't gotten a little out of control.
It happened last week when Josh Welch of Baltimore was eating his breakfast at Park Elementary School. According to Fox 45, the second grader had a Pop-Tart that he was attempting to eat into a mountain. He didn't quite get it right, and he told WBFF, "It turned out to be a gun kinda."
His teacher didn't see any ambiguity, however. She said it was definitely a gun and that she heard him say "bang bang." So for that, he was immediately sent home and suspended for two days. Oh, and his Pop-Tart was confiscated too.
Talk about an overreaction. Rules are rules, but it seems to me a warning might have been much more appropriate in this case. Even if he was such a clever eater/artist that it did look like a gun, it's a pastry. That's all. And the boy is just 7!
Josh's father agrees it was outrageous and told the station he'd almost call it insanity. "I mean with all the potential issues that could be dealt with at school, real threats, bullies, whatever the real issue is, it's a pastry. Ya know?"
The school won't comment beyond saying a student was suspended for using food "to make inappropriate gestures," but it seems the punishment is much more inappropriate than the offense based on what's being reported. Maybe there's more to the story, but I can't imagine what it would be that would warrant a suspension.
This isn't the first example of over-zealousness we've seen along these lines either. In January we saw a 6-year-old boy get suspended for pointing his finger at a classmate like a gun. Later that month we saw a 5-year-old girl suspended for making a "terrorist threat" with her Hello Kitty bubble gun.
On one hand, it's great that schools are taking threats seriously, but there also has to be some flexibility and common sense used as well. And at least in the case of the Pop-Tart, it seems there wasn't.
Do you think this boy should have been suspended?
Image via oskay/Flickr
Zero Tolerance policies are just that - they have zero tolerance for children acting as children do. They go on and on about "someone might think you're threatening them" and "terrorism this" and "behavior that" for kids who play guns (even with just their fingers), but when someone's actually bullied or threatened, they turn into the biggest crowd of do-nothings known to mankind.
We should just teach children guns don't exist so they don't pretend to play cops and robbers or even aspire to be cops when they grow up, that would be awful! Wait, guns DO exist! They CAN grow up to be cops! I'm amazed at the school system, just because a kid pretends to chase and shoot someone doesn't mean they are going to be criminals, in fact they could be hindering the inspiration to be a cop and they are certainly limiting their pretend play a lot, who didn't pretend they were a sharp shooter in the old west or even saving humanity from aliens when they were a kid? I'm begining not to like what schools are becoming.
I'd say fuck the "suspension"... I'd take my kid to school and go right along with him to class. I wouldn't let the administration get away with it.

Within a few years I relocated my family to Chico. I started a new business, hired employees and felt that I had made the perfect choice for my family. Unfortunately things do change.
Last Friday I was close to City Plaza around 10 a.m. I counted 12 individuals in sleeping bags. Numerous people approached me asking for handouts. (I refused their request.) The smell in the air reminded me of the last Doobie Brothers concert I attended.
Thursday morning's' edition of the Enterprise-Record displayed a gentleman bathing in one of the fountains, claiming to do it for proper hygiene. (Really?)
At this time I ask myself, did I make the perfect choice?
What is my point? If you have a problem you can either: Do nothing, complain about it, or find a solution. Personally I would prefer to find a solution.

The Vity 125 is not a cutting edge scooter. It's not fast. It doesn't look good unless you've got a thing for the 80s. But it does the job and has one big saving grace – a £1,799 price tag which, for a trustworthy 125cc Yamaha, is very cheap.
500cc, 27.5bhp, 82mph, Insurance group 6
This new version of the Enfield Electra may look the same, and to be fair in alot of ways that count it is, but in fact it features an all new unit construction engine with fuel-injection, dragging it kicking and screaming into this century to meet Euro 3 emission laws. This is a motorcycle with alot of charisma- a throwback from a bygone ...
1340cc, 55bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 15
The Harley-Davidson Softail Springer is an ultra retro Harley based on the FXST Softail. Minimal but charming cruiser which harks back to the post war years when Harley-Davidson motorcycles were popular and their identity was really cemented. 'Springer' front Forks are based on the 1948 model but the rest of the Harley-Davidson Softail Springer is relatively modern – well as modern as air ...
499cc, 25bhp, 78mph, Insurance group 6
There are plenty of cracking classics you could buy for the price of a Royal Enfield Bullet Electra . These are the Indian-built 'modern' takes on the Fifties single, but to be honest even the addition of electric start can't save this bike from being something that perhaps ought to have died out with drainpipe trousers and Teddy Boys.

That the Kawasaki KMX125 is one of the most stolen motorcycles in Britain should tell you all there is to know about it. The Kawasaki KMX125 is tough, cheap to run and cheap to fix and very capable off-road (handy when doing a runner from the law). Spares are plentiful and de-restricted versions can twist a dyno to a heady ...
1200cc, 64bhp, 110mph, Insurance group 13
The mid-sized Harley-Davidson XL1200 Sportster makes a lot of sense. It's got a bit more presence, punch and space than the smaller 883cc family but without the weight and unwieldy feel of the 1340/1450cc big end motorcycles. It's classic, air cooled Harley – if you want one you'll probably not consider anything else. Full name is the Harley-Davidson XL1200 Sportster ...

Car glass
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (February 2010)
Car glass includes windscreens, side and rear windows, and glass panel roofs on a vehicle. Side windows can be either fixed or be raised and lowered by depressing a button (power window) or switch or using a hand-turned crank. The power moonroof, a transparent, retractable sunroof, may be considered as an extension of the power window concept. Some vehicles include sun blinds for rear and rear side windows. The window shield of a car is appropriate for safety and protection of debri in the road. It also comforts the driver as well. The majority of car glass is held in place by glass run channels, which also serve to contain any fragments of glass if the glass breaks.
Today most cars use laminated glass as it does not shatter in sharp pieces and so does not harm the driver and passengers.
