Latest BIOS version 1,09 was last week removed and seems rolled back to version 1,06.How is this affecting comapitibilty with firmware for USB-C Docking station ?

Hi @ARtan-Krasniqi? Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for posting ! Folio is a lovely business class notebook. Most business class notebooks (including yours, Elitebook and Probook, etc...) have better security than consumer class computers. You will have to contact HP Support for business for assistance on removing the password. Here is how >> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html>> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/business-support.html HP Business support should be able to send you a customised SMC.bin file and instructions which you can use to reset the password. Hope this helps. Let me know if you face any issues.1 more replies

I am the owner of a used Elitebook Folio 9470m laptop that I procured from my friend. It is very lightweight laptop, and I really love it.Unfortunately, the laptop came with admin password on the BIOS. I already contacted him, and he has no idea what it is. This was his father laptop, and he also has no idea about it. So, I'm left here with this laptop, but no way to tinker around with the BIOS. Obviously this isn't good!All sources lead me to this area where can I contact HP support to try to solve my problem. I opened up two cases. First one, case ID 4779632926 and did not get response. Second, 4779725521 and this is response i got. " I really apologize for the inconvenience, unfortunately we will not be able to support this case." I tried to reply to this case with subject <4779725521> and then I received message that case is closed. We are sorry, but we were unable to process your request.
The Case with ID "4779725521" is closed or does not exist and cannot be updated. PLS if there is any chance to solve this, let me know. I can provide any information you need. Thank you.

Hi! I recently bought a new laptop, i'm very happy with it and it works fine! Although, now i need to access the BIOS Password, something that the previously owner dont recall setting ( A School ) Does anyone know any way to reset/recover the BIOS password to this model, without buying a new motherboard/BIOS Chip or ''Contact HP Support, because they probably need a proof that it's not stolen?I didnt get any receipt from the School that they've bought it, Anyone got any ideas?
Hello @OskarB98? Welcome to the HP Support forum. I am afraid that there is no other options other than HP Support for business.

Hello all,The built-in "Lenovo Update" agent program recommended a BIOS update v1.23 (it's a critical update), so I did. And then my system doesn't boot: it's hangs on the "Starting Windows" logo page (Windows 7 64 bit). So I am trying to rollback to the last working version v1.21. Confirmed that my machine is type 20CL, went here, go the bootable CD, successfully went to the BIOS Update Utility, and then it said: "system program file is not correct for this system" ? The followings settings in BIOS were applied to try enable a rollback of BIOS but failed...??? * I am sure: - my download was correct- no issue on handling the ISO burning to CD- this has nothing to do with Windows or operating system* Any idea folks?I really really need my system back...

Trouble started with random system restarts anywhere from 2 to 60min after powering on. That lasted a few days. Than it got worse, it was stopping before system boot with error message: motherboard product information missing. After a soft or hard reset (can't remember now) it stopped displaying anything, only LEDs came on and fan run, all lasting about 5s. I tested RAM in other machine, OK. Pulled HD out, no difference. Put a different HD in, no difference. With DC disconnected and battery out I left CMOS battery disconnected overnight. Now it cycles: LEDs and fan come on for about 5s, all off for 1s and tries again. Any help will be appreciated... Best regardsMore replies

My friend gave me a disc to install Adobe Font Folio on my computer. I'm learning graphic designing and he told me that it would help me greatly in making everything look professional. When I pop the thing in it tells me to go to explore the folders. My friend isn't much with Windows Vista and when I talked to him he told me he was busy so I decided to come here for some help.
Other than that I tried to drag one of the fonts to the fonts folder in windows and it gave me a weird message telling me the font couldn't be installed or something. I'd really appreciate any help I can get.
There are options on what Vista does when you put in a CD. (Like, open the setup.exe if it's a program to install.) Or you can browse to the setup file and open it. I think the only way to add fonts is with Install New Font (or something like that) from inside the fonts folder.2 more replies

Hi BinaryStar0647.
Your BSODs are caused by Sunbelt Personal Firewall driver, a regular BSOD causer which is disconnected from the market from December 2011.
Seeing your files I realized that the drivers are used by some other thing, GFI Software Firewall.

Hi I got a brand new Elitebook Folio 1020 G1 - I would like to use the TPM 2.0 that it is advertised with. According to the specification it has an Intel Firmware TPM 2.0. But I don't seem to be able to enable it. The BIOS only gives me an option to enable/disable a TPM, but it seems to only be the hardware Infineon TPM 1.2. Can anyone let me know how I can enable the TPM 2.0 on the Elitebook?
Firmware TPM is version 2.0. Hardware TPM is v1.2, which is a subset of the TPM 2.0 specification version v0.89as implemented by Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT).For more information on HP security solutions refer to: http://www.hp.com/go/clientsecurity.

We recently bought a couple new HP Folio 1040 G2's and we're having very random (multiple weeks can pass without one) BSOD's on all these computers. Memory was extensively tested, BIOS updated, graphics card and other drivers are also slowly being updated. The same Win 8.1 image is used on other machines and there are no issues there. These machines are malware free and have the same set of applications (AV included) as our other notebooks.
I even tried with http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows_other-system/driver-verifier-tracking-down-a-mis-behaving/f5cb4faf-556b-4b6d-95b3-c48669e4c983, for a day or two but I have yet to catch a BSOD when it's running.

I see fltmgr.sys and ntfs.sys + "pfn" (Page Frame Number - page file) in the stack text, which may indicate some type of issue with the hard drive.
However, you are telling us that BSODs are occurring on multiple systems, so HDD problems seem unlikely since multiple systems are involved.

We have 2 x Folio 9470m notebook. 1st has 8GB of memory with the upgraded ram using https://www.skhynix.com/eolproducts.view.do?pronm=DDR3+SDRAM&srnm=HMT451S6AFR8A&rk=20&rc=module The 2nd only has 4Gb of memory and want to upgrade - I found this other memory cheaper - https://www.skhynix.com/eolproducts.view.do?pronm=DDR3+SDRAM&srnm=HMT351S6CFR8C&rk=20&rc=module My understanding is the main difference is the what I already have is the Low Power (1.35V vs 1.5V). Does anyone know if Folio 9470m will work with this 1.5V version of the memory? Thanks for your help.
From the Service Manual: Two customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots DDR3 PC3-1600-MHz dual channel support Supports 16384-MB of system RAM in the following configurations: ? 16384-MB (8192-MB×2) ? 8192-MB (8192-MB×1 or 4096×2) The specified memory is 1.5 volt. DDR3L will run at either 1.35 or 1.5 volt but I generally avoid mixing voltages. That is why the DDR3L is working for you and I assume you have 2 of the same in the laptop with 8 gigs. Can you figure out what is in the 4 gig machine now? I would not mix voltages or density...i.e would not have one module with 8 black blocks and one with 4. Try to match the existing 4 gig module is what I am saying...not the exact brand of memory but the characteristics of it.1 more replies

Is there anywhere to get a recovery image of the originally installed Ubuntu? I did a fresh install of 16.04, and the touchpad no longer works correctly, and I installed the "normal" 14.04 and it doesn't work there either, so I'm guessing this had some addon drivers that aren't part of the normal Ubuntu. The download section for the 1020 G1 doesn't even LIST Ubuntu as an OS option. Alternately, assuming the addons were in a ppa, if there was somewhere I could download those drivers alone for 14.04?
@TLMiller? I did find a datasheet that does indicate the Ubuntu Operating System. A datasheet is not a contract, nor does it indicate how the product is ultimately sold.

Have tried Amazon for 3rd party but reviews look sketchy. Any insight on what will work and where to order it is appreciated. I'm desperate.More replies
I'm hoping that someone here can help. I've tried everything I can think of and searched the Internet all day trying various solutions.
I just received an HP Folio 13- 2000 laptop. This laptop has NO CD/DVD ROM drive. It has 2 USB ports, 1 2.0 and 1 3.0.
So, while it currently has an OS, I need to reformat it with a clean install of Win 7 x64 Pro for actual use. I have tried several different ISOs of Win 7 x64 Pro SP1, and all have failed to install. After clicking Install Now, I get the dreaded:
A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
A few more things:
There is no CD/DVD drive on this laptop, it's a small form factor EliteBook. It's not missing or damaged, there isn't even a space for one.
I have read that Win 7 has no native USB 3.0 support, and this is the actual cause of the error.
What I have done:
Downloaded the fresh clean ISO files from Digital River for Win 7 x64 Pro
Created bootable USB drives and placed the image on them (both using the command prompt to clean, partition, format and make active as well as PowerISOs automated bootable USB drive function)
I have booted into the current Win 7 install and used Drivermax to rip all the drivers on the system (including the functioning USB 3.0 driver) and placed them on a separate USB drive.
Swapped out between the 2 USB ports, the 3.0 on the left and the 2.0 on the right. After I get the error message ab... Read more

I am looking for a device to be able to connect my Elitebook with two monitors 1) external HP monitor (ProDisplay P221) and 2) HP Compaq LA2405x. I notice the Elitebook does not have a port for connecting external ethernet cable as well. What would be my best option to 1) connect with two monitors 2) LAN and 3) keyboard, mouse, usb sticks etc?I found the HP dock connector suitable but appears very basic (connects only vga and ethernet). Docking stations such as this and this appear to do the job but I could not find Folio 1040 G3 in the list of compatiable products. Would you be able to point me to the correct product that is compatiable with Folio 1040 G3? Thanks in advance.More replies
As said in the title I bought a new EliteBook Folio G1 and it can be chargeed onlyt hrough one port. If I connect power adaptor to one port it cahrges and there's no reaction if I connect it to another port. Is it an expected behaviour or do I need to do something? I have no other usb-c adapters to test if other port is responsive to anything.

Hi, I work in tech support for a company and one of our enterprise laptops mysteriously has lost its "tattooed" information. The user who had this laptop left the company and when we went to wipe it we discovered this issue. Upon starting the machine the HP splash screen has in red text on the top left of the screen "Manufactoring Program Mode set 1 of 10" after the splash screen a "Product Information not Valid" screen appears. It reads: Product Information not validThe following product information programmed into the system board is missing or invalidSYSTEM BOARD (00A)Product Name Product Serial NumberProduct SKUProduct FamilySystem Board CT NumberENTER - Continue Startup For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup I know that there is an HP utility tool to "tattoo" this information back onto the machine. As an enterprise that uses 95% HP equipment (our monitors, mouse, keyboards are the only non-HP equipment) I think that the tech support deserves these types of tools to troubleshoot issues. Sure the machine boots normally if you hit enter, but it's alarming/scandalous to be presented with that product information not valid screen when powering on a machine. Bonus points to whoever can provide some reasoning as to how this occurred.More replies
I have just made a set of HP Recovery discs for my new HP Folio 13 installed with W7-64 bit. I used Nashua DVD+Rs. Before doing anything further with the computer I thought it would be a good idea to test the discs. I changed the boot order in the BIOS placing the (USB) DVD drive ahead of the SSD. It seemed to be working until, "You are not able to restore this system with the media" appeared. Nothing else, only this line. The notebook is brand new and has only Lightroom 2.7 installed. No changes have been made. I have noticed on the forums a number of people have experienced similar problems, but there don't seem to be any resolutions. Is it possible that the disc type is not supported, even though the software allowed the discs to be made? Is there anybody out there who knows what is happening her? graham
I don't work for HP, but will forward this post to someone who does. All I can suggest right now is call HP and request a Recovery disc set for your specific model, ask them to waive the fee since yours do not work. 1-800-HPInvent or You can order recovery media here http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c008103349 more replies

For no apparent reason, my new Folio 1040 G will not boot after I login to the WinMagic security screen. I can access the BIOS panels and have run the long diagnostics. No errors are reported. After I enter the password or finger scan, I get a black screen with only a blinking cursor in the upper left, then nothing happens. At that point. the machine does respond to cntrl-alt-del by restarting the boot cycle. I did not create a spare key and I not want to loose the data on this drive. HP support says the only thing they can do is tell me how to wipe the drive and re-install Windows. I'm guessing this SDD has a corrupted boot record but the data on the rest of the drive is okay. My questions are: 1) Is there any way to boot the system off the recovery partition and recover the data? 2) If I remove the drive and put it into a caddy, how could I use the password to access the data on it? 3) Is there any other work around to boot off of this SDD or make it readable by another computer?

Hello, the EliteBook Folio G1 (2016) allows the choice between MS Precision and GlidePoint. The problem described below occurs on both driver versions. (Please also note that I have configured *all* settings (on all 3 locations where mouse settings can be configured), and I did so in a way that rules out that the problem is a result of misconfiguration. Bios, Windows and Touchpad drivers are up-to-date.) Problem: When I try to move the cursor just a little bit (which is a very frequent action in everyday computer usage in general (e.g. cursor positiong, checkboxes), and with certain applications (imaging) in particular), there is no response until I have moved my finger over the touchoad a few millimeters (!). This is very annoyng -- it is impossible to do precise operations. In particular, no such issues exist on my other notebooks. I guess it's some kind of protection so no movements are done when accidental touching the touchpad. However, unlike the "prevent-movement after typing"- option, there is no user-visible setting that would allow the user to disable this annoyance. I am actually considering sending the computer back. It is ironic because this is anything but "Precision". (All the other features and behavior of the touchpad are quite good, btw). Request: Please forward this problem to your developlemt/software team so they can check whether this can be changed, and then please provide new drivers/etc. They should check wheth...

Hello Everyone, We have a Folio 1040 G1 running Windows 7 (64-Bit) and the mouse pad has stopped working in windows. If I boot into the BIOS then the mouse pad works there. So I've uninstalled and re-installed the Synaptics software/drivers (sp75235.exe) and still no luck. Does the synaptics rely on other Windows 7 components that I may have to repair/reinstall? Thanks in advance.
Although if could be a h/w issue, you mention the touchpad works within the BIOS to point around the menus. I would encourage you to run HP SDM (www.hp.com/go/sdm) and update all hardware drivers and BIOS (BIOS needs to be done by itself). That should help with your issue. Do not install any other software suggested by SDM unless you know you use that particular tool1 more replies

Dear community, I recently bought a brand new HP EliteBook Folio 1020 because it's officially given as supported by Ubuntu OS. So after installing this system, I discovered that the Alps Forcepad is not fully supported by Linux. Basically, the mouse and click is working, but MultiTouch features are not working at all. I mean that my old EliteBook 8460p supported the two finger scrolling perfectly with the Synqptics drivers, but unfortunately, this is not the case for this new computer. After some research, the problem comes from the psmouse module, the touchpad is detected as a generic PS2 mouse. some Google research give me some third party project to give better support for Alps device like https://github.com/he1per/psmouse-dkms-alpsv7, and while the modules seems to be compiled corrected and then finally detected as a Alps device, the multitouch feature still not working. Is there any patch for psmouse that can be provided in order to support the muti touch feature, at last the two fingers scrolling, this is the minimum for having a decent usage of the applications. Thank for your help and best regards Obitwo.
That git project you're trying to build is for an old Linux Kernel (3.13). Firstly it will not build with any recent kernels becuase the source functions/logic have changed too much.In Linux 3.18 support for Forcepad was added in the drivers/input/mouse/synaptics.c file. But this supports the HP 1040 Forcepad. The HP 1020 uses another (perhaps newer) model of Forcepad. I too am desperately looking for a solution..7 more replies

I am experiencing the following issue and hope that someone in the forum as an idea / suggestion. When I have the screen connected via via display port cable with the docking station and I have my laptop docked, I dont get any signal and the screen keeps black. This is independent of the Operating System - I used Windows 7, Windows 8. When my laptop is docked but I attach the display port cable directly to the laptop it works without any problem. I have also realized that with other displays 23'' or 24'' the setup with the docking station works without a problem. So it has to be a cominbination between UltraSlim Docking Station and ZR2740w screen. Any advise what else should be tried?

Update: After calling HP technical support I and being bounced among various clueless offshore tech support reps, I finally landed on the US-based workstation support department. Justin looked up the problem and identified it as a known issue and is replacing my monitor cable with one that HP says will work. Also, in the meantime there is a workaround that I had figured out. If you don't use the displayport port on the ultraslim docking station but pug the cable directly into the computer it works fine. There is some inconvienence associated with this as you have to plug it in every time you dock and unplug it every time you undock (and of course the cable always falls behind the desk while you are doing this), but it is okay as a solution while I am waiting for the new cable to arrive. Will update this post after it arrives and report whether it works.10 more replies

I want to know the affect of ATA lightweight gateway on the domain controllers regarding schema updates and what's the rollback scenario of it, is it just a matter of uninstalling the agents or is it more complicated?
I've done some googling to find info on rolling back from Vista to XP on my 3yr old Gateway laptop (it's a spare machine) but I keep finding articles about people who bought a machine with Vista already factory installed and them rolling back to XP.
My machine came factory with XP 3yrs ago and I loaded Vista on it as more of a test b/c I have 2 other machines that I use on a daily basis and value. The sound & video card seem to be fine and everything else seems to work fine on it but it just doesn't have the processing speed it needs to pull the load.
I have the factory restore disk but was wondering if anyone has had an older gateway laptop that had Vista and they rolled back to XP (original)?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Hello ksims
You know that the machine will run XP, so all you need to do is go to the Gateway site and download all the XP drivers for your particular machine.
Then use your factory restore disks.
After that install the XP drivers.

Unfortunately, it does not have rollback. It only has last known good configuration which is only good until the next successful login, then it is rewritten with the current version of the registry.

In the user guide, there are some limitations mentioned -
1. Hard Disk support - No Problem (I have two internal HDD but i want Rx to protect my primary HDD only. Plus I don't have SSD)
2. Booting from an external media (OS) - No Problem (Don't have)
3. Compressed Drives - No Problem (Don't have)
4. Dual Boot - No Problem (Don't have)
5. Disk Repartitioning - No Problem (Not doing)
6. Use of Defragmenter Programs - No Problem (I had Auslogics DiskDefrag but uninstalled it)
No problems with the first six, but
7. Disk Encryption Programs that intercept Low-Level Disk I/O - I don't understand, What programs?
Does it mean Kaspersky (Or other On-Demand scanners), Bitlocker, Axcrypt? Should i uninstall any?

Hi. Windows won't let me install Internet Explorer 6, even after IE7 has been uninstalled. IE 6 complains there is a newer version. And now, I can't get into IE7 either. When I open IE7, it tells me it has encountered a problem and needs to close. I tried reinstalling it but that obviously didn't work; and system restore didn't work either.I found this on a message board: here's how I finally uninstalled IE7 (beta) and rolled back to IE6:Remove these two items from the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstallie7b2pmxandHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftUpdatesWindows XPSP0ie7b2pmxThen, replace your iexplore file (C:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe) with the iexplore.exe from Internet Explorer 6.

If you have internet explorer 6 installed on your computer, windows will not allow you to re-install it so to speak, you have to make a registry edit to persuade Windows that IE 6 has never been installed previously.
Click Start>Run>and enter Regedit. Go to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components' and you will see lots of subkeys like {44BBA840-CC51-11CF-AAFA-00AA00B6015C}. At each subkey is a value called 'IsInstalled'. If you double click it and set it to zero, Windows thinks that the software is not installed, so you can download it again.
I stupidly upgraded WMP to version 11, and it is totally unacceptable--It won't allow me to play any of the hundred or more of my own CDs that I ripped to my computer, because of licensing issues--says too many license downloads, which is crap, never happened. MS says that version 11 can be rolled back to version 10. I followed their instructions exactly, and when it finished, I received the msg: "rollback complete". Unfortunately that is a big lie, because when I started the player, it still was version 11. But then I had other issues--my Sling Player would not start, with error message referring to WMP. I reinstalled WMP 11, and the Sling Player worked. I tried the whole rollback thing and it still will not roll back. I am at my wit's end--can anybody help?????
G'Day tenpiloto, and Welcome to TSF!
Have you treid a System Restore to a date before you installed WMP 11?
To do it.. Go START > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore.
Follow the prompts to select an earlier time to restore your computer to.
This will not delete any crucial files, and will only rebert the system back to the date/time you select.
Give it a try, and report back with any other queries/concerns.

I just upgraded from windows xp Home to xp Pro, but something happened in the installation and many things aren't installed on my system. Is there a way i can rollback to xp home without losing any of my files? Thanks.
I have never done a home to pro upgrade. You were most likely given an option to "Save old system files" during the upgrade process. If you elected to do so, then you should be able to revert back to home. Does xp pro show up in add / remove programs? Is so then you can probably remove it. Prior to doing anything like this, make a complete backup of whatever you do not want to loose.
I would do a clean install of pro rather than an upgrade. Upgrades can often be problematic at best.

Compact Flash CF Card Data Recovery
What is Compact Flash Data Card?
Compact flash data card, a portable device which falls in the utilisation of the storage of the information in electronic devices. Invented by SanDisk in the year 1994, the card utilises the technology of flash memory for the storage. These types of cards allow the user to add in the wide extensive type of data on the computing devices.
The cards are based on the Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment (PATA) interface, which allows the dimension to be 42.8* 36.4 mm (similar to the size of a matchbox) and on the contrary, enables them to store data up to 512GB. The CF (Compact Flash) cards are bifurcated into two based on their thickness, to accommodate different capacities of storage. Type I CF cards of thickness 3.3mm and Type II CF cards of thickness 5mm. these types of cards operate at two different voltages i.e. 3.3 and 5V and can be switched. This aspect varies from the other small form factor flash memory, which operates at a singular voltage of current.
A flash is a non-volatile form of memory, which helps store data on a device to retain. The operating shock rate is at 2000G which makes it tougher than a mechanical drive. It is mainly utilised in the Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras for mass storage. Eventually, players like Nikon and Canon entered the Flash Data Card market. But 2008, the picture was elevated with the variant CompactFast based on the Serial ATA to upgrade the speed transfer than the standard.
Why Compact Flash CF Card Fail?
Compact flash cards are a bold innovation by SanDisk in 1994 which create an aberrant benchmark in the storage aspect of the electronic devices. These devices used in the storage of the media in the devices such as DSLR and other devices also come with some barriers. They follow the Parallel ATA interface and the new variant follows the Serial ATA interface.
Despite such bold features, they hold they have a less product life which disables them to be utilised for years and years. The top manufacturer of this product even advice its customers that the card should be utilised for only 2 years in a row max no matter how much images do you click from your device.
Another major drawback of this card is that it does through a lot of wear and tear. During a high-resolution shooting of pictures or some other activity for a large span of time results in the heating of the card and cooling down again. Such repeated sessions and other types of wear and tear such as rain would cause the data to get lost. Also, when we see these cards come with three components i.e. a reader that reads the information, a writer that writes the data from your camera to card and a CPU that processes the data. Basically, it performs the function of a computer and even computers eventually damage. This results in the loss of data and drawbacks for compact flash cards. Thus, the cards should be replaced.
About CF Data Recovery
CF (Compact Flash) cards are used primarily in portable electronic devices such as digital cameras and video recorders. Though SanDisk was the first manufacturer of CF cards, other companies like Sony and Nikon have begun producing their own as well. The cards vary in size (3.3mm to 5mm thick) and speed (CF+, CF2.0, CF3.0 and CF4.0).
These are not to be confused with Micro Drives of the same size, which use magnetic media as opposed to flash. The upside to using CF cards as opposed to other flash media devices is that they are thicker than others, which could help prevent breakage or physical damage. Unfortunately this also limits the devices they are compatible with, as manufacturers work to make products thinner and lighter.

Common CF Card Data Recovery Problems
As physically reliable as they can be, CF cards can be susceptible to many logical problems. Corrupted files may develop when they are removed too early, when photos are taken too quickly and even when the camera battery is low and not providing reliable power to allow the card to write. Occasionally physical damage can occur with exposure to contaminants, water submersion and improper insertion.
If a CF card has shown a corrupted image or file, or cannot be accessed in the camera or on the computer, do not format the card if you still want to retrieve the data. Discontinue use and call us immediately. Formatting can make the recovery process significantly more difficult, and you don't want to lose your chance to recover your files.

And my second layout is again Khloe. Proud Mawmaw here likes to show her off. :) I gave her my ipod one night to play with. I didn't actually have the music on but it sure made a cute picture.
And a cute little card.
And my altered project is a pickle jar to hold my Washi tape. My goal is to fill the jar.

Johan Santana was just as tough as the city he represented, tough enough to alter the sadsack course of New York Mets history by throwing their first no-hitter. He will be forever remembered for that June night, and for the fact many fans believe those 134 magical pitches against St. Louis validated his $137.5 million contract, and then some.
Some Mets fans will also never forget that in 2008, with his team falling apart at the end of a doomed playoff race, Santana delivered a three-hit shutout against Florida on short rest and with a torn meniscus in his left knee.
"It's time to be a MAN," read the handwritten quote Santana had posted on the clubhouse wall.
He was the man for the Mets, at least when he was healthy, and yet the obituary on his Shea Stadium and Citi Field career will report he wasn't healthy enough, not even close. Knee surgery and elbow surgery preceded the serious shoulder surgery on his torn anterior capsule in September 2010, which preceded Thursday's bulletin that Santana suffered the same tear and probably needs the same season-ending, career-threatening surgery all over again.
He's likely done at age 34, after pitching only 109 games for that six-year, $137.5 million deal the Mets gave him. Was this the predictable result of pushing it for that no-hitter after shoulder surgery and a full season off? Did Santana blow out his shoulder again that spring training day he threw from the mound in an I'll-show-you rage after Sandy Alderson, GM, claimed he didn't arrive in pitching shape?
"We don't know when it happened," Alderson said, "how it happened."
And that was that. The GM said the $25.5 million balance on Santana's deal wasn't insured, another encouraging piece of financial news for a franchise operating in a never-ending recession.
But truth is, Santana was going to start the season on the disabled list and the Mets weren't expecting much from him in 2013, anyway. They saw how he came undone after last year's no-hitter, and they knew the wear and tear had diminished him for keeps. In their hearts and minds, they'd already moved on to Matt Harvey and, soon enough, Zack Wheeler.
So this can still be a season for the Mets to pleasantly surprise a fan base that has come to expect the worst-case scenario. This would be the perfect time for a mid-major franchise in a high-major town to become baseball's answer to Florida Gulf Coast University.
With the Yankees said to be on the verge of ruin, Roman Empire style, the Mets could fill the void by bucking their zillion-to-one odds. They will open up against San Diego on Monday with a Long Island Ducks outfield and enough holes up and down the roster to suggest they might be done playing meaningful games before the Knicks are eliminated.
"But nothing is out of the realm of possibility," Bobby Valentine, the Mets' old manager and new pre- and postgame voice on SNY, said by phone before the Santana news broke. "I don't think you have to think about them as Florida Gulf Coast. You've got to think some of the National League will come back to the pack a little, and every year in baseball you have teams that surprise you."
Baltimore won 93 games last year after winning fewer than 70 over five straight seasons. Oakland won 94 games last year after spending four of the previous five seasons south of .500.
Why can't the Mets, for once, stand among these inspiring underdogs, rather than shock the world by showing just how uninspiring they can be on and off the field?
"I'd really like to see it happen, because it's what baseball needs," Valentine said. "I think it will happen. I just feel like it will. I haven't seen the Mets up close and personal yet ... but I just look at the individuals they have, and I think that's a good start.
"I like their corners, David Wright and Ike [Davis]. I've always liked the [Lucas] Duda kid. I like [Jonathon] Niese. I like Harvey. I've been with Ike and David so I can tell you that they're made of the right stuff. I've been with Harvey a couple of times and I like the feel that I got."
No, Valentine wasn't predicting a Mets run to the Elite Eight (or the Terrific Ten, counting the extra wild card in each league) on his first official day as an SNY analyst for 12 to 15 games, 12 to 15 games that will undoubtedly compel Terry Collins to DVR the pre- and postgame shows. But as a guy who thought he'd be starting his second year managing the Red Sox instead of kneeling in the on-deck circle as Sacred Heart University's athletic director-to-be, Valentine understands that a six-month baseball season is a wildly unpredictable beast.
Powerful franchises with limitless budgets can collapse just like that, as Valentine's Red Sox did in 2012, finishing dead last at 69-93. And Loserville teams such as the Washington Nationals can average 91 losses over a seven-year span before fielding some of the most dynamic young players in the sport, going 98-64, and winning the NL East.
Can Matt Harvey be the Mets' Stephen Strasburg? Can lumbering Lucas Duda at least match the power output of the speedy and athletic Bryce Harper?
Conventional wisdom says no, not yet, especially on the Duda-Harper front. But conventional wisdom often doesn't hold up over 162 games.
"Baseball is such a long season," Valentine said, "and so much of it is contingent on the health of your players. Right now it seems the Yankees don't have enough of their good players healthy, but they might before it's all over. It looks like the National League East has health returning to Philadelphia and Washington, but you don't know if that will hold true as the season goes on.
"I have to see the rest of the competition, but if the Mets develop some chemistry, they can be an interesting and exciting group."
Valentine's presence made the Mets a more interesting group at the start of 1997, his first full season at Shea. The home team had suffered through six consecutive losing seasons, finishing a combined 98 games under .500, before Valentine won 88, 88, 97, and 94 games across a four-year run that culminated in a 2000 World Series death match with the Yankees, a crushing five-game defeat.
"We captivated the entire town," Valentine said. "It was a spectacular time, a great time to be a Met."
Six years later, Willie Randolph led the Mets to Game 7 of the NLCS. Ever since, Mets fans have been subjected to a staggering pair of end-of-season choke jobs, four consecutive losing seasons, the Bernie Madoff meltdown, and, of course, the Johan Santana breakdown.
They barely had time to bask in Santana's no-no.
So Mets fans could use a good bounce in the worst way. "They deserve it," Valentine said. "They deserve a team they can be proud of.
"It would be great for the city and for baseball if the Yankees were good at the same time. The Mets fan will take sole ownership if that doesn't happen, but I don't see the Yankees going away like people think. I think they're going to be where they always were."
The Mets? They don't have to be where they've usually been, even without Johan Santana. Sometimes mid-majors come out of nowhere, and this is one mid-major baseball team in a high-major town that is long overdue.

text: I'm actually not sure if this is the right forum for this, so hopefully it's kosher. I recently came upon a loose (Deluxe?) Beast Wars toy for a decent price. But I'm not sure what character it is. It seems to be Transmetal Airazor, but it's almost completely black. It doesn't seem to be the Armada version. Can anyone tell me the name of this toy? Is Transmetal Airazor considered good? And perhaps most importantly, what accessories does it come with? Since this is a loose toy, I wouldn't want to buy it only to find out that it can't be properly transformed because it doesn't come with it's beast head because the thing is a gun or something. Thanks.

Official Music Publication on The Web
Representing The Bay Area Music Scene
Pressure 4-5
Pressure 4-5's major label debut, "Burning the Process", sticks to what makes a rock band truly rock. The formula: two grinding guitars (Mark Barry, Joe Schmidt), a pounding drummer (Tom Schmidt), thumping bass (Lyle McKeany), and a lead singer (Adam Rich) Hailing from Santa Barbara, CA, Pressure 4-5 has managed to carve themselves their own admirable little niche in the past few years, making for a blisteringly aggressive slab of melodic modern metal. Headed by vocals frontman Adam Rich, the music settles into a fairly timid, yet explosively dynamic pace as Adam's performance is rich with polished melody, hitting with a harmonically detached charm through the verses that eventually funnels off into vivaciously potent choruses. The guitar work is full bodied with the tones and overall aesthetic tends to draw from the alternative rock/modern metal field in the long run. The riffs played however are quite large and driving, generating enough energy to singe the listeners ear hairs, while also soothing them afterwards with some dizzying effect tinged harmonics and ambient styled plucking. Meanwhile, the bass lines played are empowering and full of aural electricity that helps to bolster the tracks with a punchy energy. Drum wise, the effort is littered with a vigorous display of off timed hits and generally hard hit percussion that capitalizes upon thunderous rolls with a spacious playing style that generates intrigue and heady grooves. Making the CD "Burning The Process" created a sound that feels fresh in contrast to their contemporary peers, a feat which almost always deserves instant recognition and admiration
INTERVIEW WITH Adam Rich of Pressure 4-5
Q: How long have you guys been together?
A: We've been together four years. We started like in early '98 in Santa Barbara. Me and our guitar player Mark (Barry) actually went to high school together. And he went down to Santa Barbara to go to school and then I kind of followed him down a couple of years later an we hooked up again and just sort of met some people that we played around and we put some flyers up for like a drummer and that's kind of how we formed. Then we just wrote some songs and practiced and we just decided like three months after we started that we go together that we wanted to be serious.
Q: Did you play club's their?
A: We toured around California real hard for a couple of years. We had a couple of EP's that we would sell and stuff and somehow we got our name out there. The Internet helped us out a lot. All those fanzines and stuff really helped us out and web sites and stuff.
Q; How did Dreamworks notice you?
A: They just got ahold of one of our demos. I'm not sure how they got a hold of it. They came to one of our shows and they were showing interest. I don't know how they got ahold of one of our demos - but they got it.
Q: Four years is not a long time for a band to be playing and getting noticed.
A: Oh yeah. I know. We got lucky real soon. We got a great opportunity.
Q: How do you classify your music?
A: I'd like to say that we're like a heavy rock band with introspective and somewhat like intelligent lyrics. We're not chanting the next rap rock tech phrases in our songs. We're trying to go for something more meaningful and a little more personal. I mean, we're not trying to put out this heavy metal facade that we're all like these tough guys like a lot of the guys are doing nowadays like in bands. We're not trying to go for that whole aggressive negative vibe but we are definitely an aggressive band that plays aggressive music, but we're just doing it in more of an empowering way. We don't like to think of it as a negative thing.
Q: So what is your process of writing ?
A: I draw inspiration from experiences I have had in my life and I just sort of go with them. And if it's a negative experience, I talk about how you work through those experiences and like they change your life. I don't talk about just how horrible they are and that they want to beat up the world, but I want to destroy everything because I am so mad. I don't talk about that kind of stuff. I talk about things like frustration, how you can work through frustration with perseverance and things like that and whatever it might be about.
Q: But a lot of heavy rock bands talk about terrible things in their Songs !
A: It loses its authenticity when everybody does it. It doesn't feel like it's real. It seems like they're just putting on a fake show.
Q: Your song "Pieces" is a slower song, then the rest of the Cd?
A; Absolutely. We try not to write the same sounding songs. We try to
write different sounding songs and that's a challenge for every band, but every band doesn't want to undertake that challenge. They find a sound that works for them and write all their songs accordingly. I mean for us, we try to make it so there is a variety of textures in our music.
Q: So how's is the tour going so far?
A: Well I've been touring solid since June and a week off here and there. We did the OzzFest and we toured with Alien Ant Farm and then it's just been great. When you're on the road all the time it gets tough and there's things that you miss. You miss your friends and family. Not being in one place for more than two days can just drive on you after a while. Basically, we're still having a great time with it you know. We still enjoy ourselves. If you don't enjoy this lifestyle, than you shouldn't be doing this. This is what a band has to do to get fans and this is what you have to do to make this happen. If the radio's not going to play our songs all over the country than we are all about getting the fans ourselves. Most of the songs on the radio suck anyway. I don't expect them to play something cool now.
Q: What bands do you like ?
A: I think that the only band on the radio that's cool now is the System of the Down. The System of the Down is the only cool band on the radio right now and Incubus. I like Incubus too.
Q: The singer Brandon from Incubus has a good voice.
A: He just has a really big voice. He just gets it out there and projects it like a singer. I draw inspiration from him. Just from that first album Science. All these rap rockers at that time were doing their thing and then he just came out singing his own style and I thought that was really amazing and a real cool thing. I want to try to emulate that a little bit.
Q: Are you able to write on the road?
A; Absolutely. We have like a little recording studio set up in the back lounge. Anytime you want to pound something out, you just come back and write down your ideas. It just makes it that much easier when we go to write songs you know. We just have like a little digital track recorder. It's like a digital 8 track. We just come back with the acoustic and just lay down riffs.
Q: Are you working on your next album?
A: We already have songs written. When we go into preproduction for the next album, we'll already have a bunch of songs down. We'll just have to kind of throw them together.
Q: Have you done any radio shows?
A: Yeah. We did a couple. We haven't done a ton. We are doing one big one this month in Cleveland with like Blink 182 and 311, Adam. I love 311. They're great.
Q: When you did the OzzFest, were you on the West Coast?
A: No. We were just on the East Coast and a couple of Midwest states.
Q: What's been your favorite place to play so far?
A: Probably New York City. This was post-9/11. It was just a real - the energy coming from the crowd was something really special and it was just a really great show that night. There was just something about that show that I can't put my finger on that was really amazing.
Q: What was the name of the venue?
A: We played at the World - it's in Times Square, like the WWF World. There's like a venue there. It was one of the shows with Alien Ant Farm and it was like a 2000 capacity and it was totally sold out and it was - I don't know man - something coming from the crowd that was doing us like this energy man. It seemed like they really needed some kind of positive release and the music at that time is what did it for those kids that were there.
Q: How long is this tour?
A: We're on tour until Christmas and then we're slated to go back into the studio actually and maybe lay down a couple of songs that we've been writing we've been working on. We have some ideas that we really want to get out and we don't want to let them get by us right now and we'd like to make songs out of them right now and maybe see what we can do and release a single. So we're going to go back into the studio in January and just record a couple of songs. I don't think we're going to do more than one or two.

Across the country, U.S. residents have awakened to a new year, new resolutions — and a whole host of new rules to keep track of. Hundreds of new state laws took effect across the country Monday, and they're sure to reshape the political and legal landscape in the coming months.
They run a vast gamut — from recreational marijuana and paid leave time, to traveling barbers and exotic pets — so you'll have to forgive us if we pick just a few to focus on. Here is a glimpse of some notable new laws, in brief.
Marijuana in California
The Golden State has joined a small but growing list of states to legalize recreational marijuana use. As of 6 a.m. local time Monday, licensed retailers were legally allowed to begin selling the substance to customers age 21 and up.
And they didn't lack for customers.
The San Francisco Chronicle describes long lines and cheering visitors at the handful of dispensaries with state and local licenses to sell marijuana Monday:
"Some people stayed up all night to get a spot in line. Others went to bed early to get there before 6 a.m.
"Anthony Moraga, 28, drove from Merced on Sunday so he could be in line at 4 a.m. — the first customer in line at Berkeley Patients Group. But he was the second to make a purchase. The store had selected longtime activists Conrad and Norris to be first."
The day comes more than a year after California voters passed Proposition 64, which mostly decriminalized marijuana there. Previously, the state had only allowed sale and possession of the substance for medicinal use.
Still, even with weed legalized, it bears its fair share of regulations. The state has set up a specific agency, the Bureau of Cannabis Control, to grant and monitor licenses to retailers. Adults over 21 can only possess a maximum of one ounce of bud and up to eight grams of concentrates, and they cannot smoke in vehicles or public places.
And then there are the state taxes that commercial buyers must pay — and that authorities believe will offer a windfall for state coffers. As NPR's Ina Jaffe reports, recreational marijuana is expected to bring in up to $500 million in the first year alone, and some estimates place the eventual revenue as high as $1 billion a year.
Nevertheless, marijuana remains illegal under federal law — and as such, Border Patrol will continue to seize the substance at checkpoints.
In the workplace
Washington on Monday became the seventh state — in addition to Washington, D.C. — to require employers to offer paid sick leave to their workers. Rhode Island is set to become the eighth to do so later this year, when its own law takes effect in July.
Meanwhile, New York has joined the small handful of states that require employers to provide paid family leave benefits. There, as NBC reports, employees will eventually be entitled to up to 12 weeks a year once the law takes full effect.
And in Nevada, employers are now required to offer up to 160 hours of leave per 12-month period to workers who have been — or whose family members have been — victims of domestic violence.
Eighteen states are also raising their minimum wage this year. (See a breakdown from NPR's Emily Sullivan for the full list.)
The federal minimum wage, however, is set to remain steady at $7.25 per hour. And, as Sullivan points out, the five states that have the highest percentages of hourly workers earning the federal minimum or below have no plans for a wage hike this year.
In the national conversation
Tennessee is implementing a measure granting broad free speech rights to speakers on higher education campuses, wading into a debate that has flared into national focus lately. The law marks an implicit response to the protests that have surrounded — and even derailed — recent speaking engagements by incendiary figures such as Ann Coulter and Milo Yiannopoulos, among others.
Several states are making changes at the ballot box. Iowa and West Virginia both adopted measures that require voters to show an accepted form of ID, though the former's law won't be fully phased in until 2019. Texas, which had a similar law from 2014 tossed earlier this year by a federal judge, is adopting a revised version of the measure — which allows people to cast a ballot without ID, but only if they swear they could not reasonably obtain one in time.
Elsewhere, multiple states are changing their rules regarding how gender is recorded in official documents. In Illinois, for instance, transgender and intersex people are allowed to change the designation on their birth certificates, provided they do so with the approval of a medical professional. And in California, residents are no longer required to choose between either "male" or "female" on their ID documents.
A potpourri of odds and ends
Not every new state law bears weight of national import. In fact, the vast majority are of a more, well, specialized nature. That said, here's a little selection of some that stand out anyway.
In South Carolina, for example, people hoping to buy a Siberian tiger to celebrate the new year are likely to be disappointed: As of Jan. 1, it is illegal in the state for typical residents — that is, if you're not a zoo — to buy or own exotic animals for pets. That's right, no more apes, lions or polar bears to stalk your residence in captive splendor — unless you happen to be one of the estimated 25 South Carolinians who already own such an animal, according to the Myrtle Beach Sun News. The local paper notes that those owners will be grandfathered in, albeit with new restrictions.
As the Humane Society pointed out, before the bill's passage, the state "was one of only five states with virtually no laws regarding private possession of dangerous wild animals."
Illinois has set aside a day in honor of one of its best-known politicians: former President Obama. Henceforth, the state's former senator will be honored with Barack Obama Day every year on his birthday, Aug. 4. It should be noted, though — if you live in Illinois, don't expect a day off from work or school, since it is considered a "commemorative date" rather than an official holiday under state law.
And then, it's worth returning to Tennessee for this note: If you're a barber in the state, you are now legally free to pay house calls. Previously, barbers were only able to do so for clients "who are actually ill"; now, even those with perfect health won't need to leave their front door to get a good haircut.
Of course, as long as this list may be, these laws are but a few of the hundreds newly on the books across the country. It's best to check in your own state to be sure what new rules, exactly, now apply to you.
It is, of course, a new year, and that means a bunch of new state laws. You might have heard about some of the headliners like recreational marijuana here in California and minimum wage hikes in several states. There are some that might have fallen through the cracks. Luckily, NPR's Colin Dwyer has been spending his new year looking into them for us. Hey, Colin.
COLIN DWYER, BYLINE: Hello.
MCEVERS: So what are the ones we might have missed?
DWYER: Well, you mentioned minimum wage increases, but that's not the only workplace change afoot. In fact, maybe the most notable has to do with mandated paid leave. Washington state is now requiring all employers to provide paid sick leave. That makes it one of just a handful of states plus Washington D.C. to mandate paid sick leave. And Rhode Island will join that list too in just a couple months. Meanwhile, New York is instituting a paid family leave mandate of its own. But also, there are a number of hot-button issues nationally that are being treated in states, including some stricter voter ID laws in Iowa and West Virginia. And meanwhile, in Tennessee, they are requiring colleges to offer broad First Amendment rights for speakers on campus. And that follows a number of months of speaking engagements resulting in protests and sometimes violence.
MCEVERS: Of course, not every state law has so much appeal. Have you found any strange ones in your research?
DWYER: So there is some bad news for exotic pet owners in South Carolina, unfortunately. Normal residents there can no longer acquire new exotic pets. So that means no apes, no lions, no tigers anymore. But that said, the 25 estimated exotic pet owners who currently reside in the state will be grandfathered into the new rules under certain new conditions. Also, in Illinois, Barack Obama is getting his own holiday. That is August 4. The former Illinois senator is getting a state holiday on his birthday. Now, unfortunately, you will not be getting any work or school off for that holiday. You will just be able to observe in his honor.
MCEVERS: Nice. And just give us one more that you might have found interesting.
DWYER: Yeah. So this one might be my favorite. This one brings us back to Tennessee, where, happily, barbers can now make house calls.
MCEVERS: Oh, phew (ph).
DWYER: Yes, exactly. Before, they were only able to do so if the client happened to be sick. But it turns out now that as long as you have your residential barber certificate, you can do business in private homes as a barber.
MCEVERS: NPR's Colin Dwyer. Thank you very much.
DWYER: Of course. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
