It seems the more time that passes the more angry and bitter I get about my destroyed wedding. For those of you who don't know what happened please see the previous post.
I swear the more I read and hear about the Happily ever afters the more I want to scream! What would you do if you were in my position? |
A Ruined Wedding Tale
After trying to plan the perfect wedding, here's how mine went!
The Venue We spent weeks struggling with the venue because their coordinator was so incompetent. They mixed up our wedding cake with another wedding's cake. The officiant pronounced us the WRONG husband and wife! The waitresses were rude to guests during the dinner. My bouquet was wrong. The wedding planner was INCOMPETENT. I had to repeat myself to her over and over until I finally got exhausted and had my step-mother deal with her. Family My mother got stoned and drunk and made a huge scene for the entirety of the wedding and now does not remember ANYTHING from that day. My aunt (mother's sister) got up in the middle of the dinner and yelled at me infront of the guests. My father did not try to help matters in any way and acted oblivious the whole time. People did not stay at the hotel, instead we had people strewn all over the city and some that didn't stay in the city at all. Photos Because of the drama the photos are awful and the strain is reflected in our faces. I dont have one decent picture of me and my husband on our special day. After the wedding Few gifts were given, people left, people were confused, it was a mess Instead of joining us downtown Niagara Falls everyone left. ** I hope this post doesn't frighten future brides... I just wanted to let you all know what happened and please if you ever get married in Niagara Falls DO NOT use the Konica Minolta |
Groomsmen Gifts
Transformers cufflinks! I got them online for about 6$ a pop!
Bridesmaids Gifts
I ordered these heart shapped compact mirrors from ebay. The word "love" is inscribed in the top and I'll be having their initials engraved on the back. I thought it was a sweet forever gift that will also be useful...
What do you think? P.S. For six mirrors including shipping my cost was 20$ ! |
Volume 1
I decided to send out newsletters by email- I know, I know it's very OCD-ish but I've heard so many people comment that they just don't know what's going on. Then I forget who I've told what to, so this gets pertinent information out there accross the board!
Anyone else doing this? |
A month away!
The road has been rocky and many changes have been made but we ARE getting married on October 16th! I will offically be Mrs. Benjamins!
I'm starting to get excited and I am so happy we chose to have a small wedding because even as small as it is, it's been stressful. I have so many photos to add and things to post! I want to be able to come back to this site and see my plans! |

Hotels rated four-star and up have their own filtering systems, and their tap water is safe to drink. In other places, bottled water is recommended. All fruit and vegetables should be washed thoroughly, and salads and cold meats which have been sitting out for a long time should be avoided, especially during summer months. All Jordanian dairy products are pasteurised and safe.

Psychosexual Dysfunction
The inability to become sexually aroused or achieve sexual satisfaction in the appropriate situations because of mental or emotional (also known as psychological) reasons. No physical problems, specific illnesses, or medication side effects appear to cause the problem.
Although psychosexual dysfunction is not life threatening, it can have a major effect on your relationships and self-esteem. This condition is treatable; contact your doctor if you think you may have psychosexual dysfunction.
Psychosexual dysfunction is a sexual dysfunction that is due to psychological causes rather than physical problems, medical illnesses, or the side effects of medication.
Some of the psychological conditions include:
(feelings of nervousness, fear, or worry)
Traumatic sexual experience (abuse, rape)
Guilty feelings
Stress or anxiety
Uncertainty about your sexual orientation
Worry or fear about how you are able to perform sexually
Negative body image
Isolated Brain
In psychosexual dysfunction physical problems have been ruled out. Mental or emotional problems are at the center of the dysfunction.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk Factors
Reduced sexual desire or activity is very common among women and men. Often, the condition is treatable, but first it is necessary to determine whether the dysfunction is caused by physical causes (such as
heart disease
, heavy smoking, side effects of medications (a very common cause of decreased libido or desire), or hormonal problems or psychological causes. Only sexual dysfunction due to psychological factors is called psychosexual dysfunction.
A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition.
The following factors increase your chances of developing psychosexual dysfunction. If you have any of these risk factors, tell your doctor:
Stress or anxiety from work or social situations
Recent pregnancy (This can result from the changes in hormone levels that occur after pregnancy, from postpartum depression, or for stress and fatigue that follow pregnancy because of adjusting to a new baby)
Uncertainty about your sexual orientation
Worry about how you are able to perform sexually
Fear due to previous disturbing or painful sexual experiences or encounters
Conflict with your spouse
Religious, social, or cultural restrictions
Financial worries
Family problems
Abusive relationship with partner
Negative body image
Symptoms of psychosexual disorder may differ for men and women.
Symptoms for men include:
Not able to keep an erection
Ejaculations are premature (occur too soon)
Ejaculations do not occur
Not able to become aroused when appropriately stimulated
Not able to achieve orgasm
Inhibited sexual desire
Symptoms for women include:
Not able to become aroused when appropriately stimulated
Not able to achieve orgasm
Inhibited sexual desire
Vaginismus—an unconscious spasm (seizure) or tightening of the muscles around the vagina that interferes with sexual intercourse
Experiencing pain during sex
Dry vagina
If you experience any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to psychosexual dysfunction. These symptoms may be caused by other health conditions. If you experience any one of them, see your physician.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, your medical history, and your sexual history. Your doctor will also perform a physical exam. Make sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are currently taking. Your doctor may also ask questions about your partner.
Tests may include the following:
Blood tests to check for problems in your hormones or blood vessels (arteries and veins)
Your doctor will most likely test your testosterone level. Testosterone is the hormone that creates sexual desire in both men and women.
Depression scale to measure depression
Mini mental state examination (MMSE)
A test to gauge mental awareness and judgment (also known as cognitive functioning)
Additional tests for men:
Snap gauge—A gadget used by physicians to help distinguish if the difficulty maintaining or achieving an erection is due to a physical condition or psychological reasons. You wear the Snap-Gauge for two nights in a row to determine if you experienced erections during your sleep—most healthy men experience several erections in their sleep each night.
Vascular assessment—Your doctor needs to make sure the blood flow to the penis is sufficient
Additional tests for women:
Gynecologic examination to rule out any physical causes
Your doctor will most likely examine your external and internal genitalia, manually and with a speculum (a medical instrument that is used to open the vagina slightly wider so that the cervix can be seen more easily).
Cultures and vaginal samples may be taken to test for any underlying conditions.
If your doctor does not find anything significant from the examination or these tests, your doctor may refer you to a psychologist or psychiatrist.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. The most appropriate treatment will depend on the cause of the psychosexual dysfunction.
Some medications can alleviate the symptoms (for example, medications to alleviate erectile dysfunction or to help overcome vaginal dryness). However, to successfully manage psychosexual dysfunction, it is important to treat and manage the mental and emotional issues that underlie the problem.
Treatment options for psychosexual dysfunction include the following:
Medications may be prescribed to treat the symptoms. Medications differ for men and women.
For Men
For erectile problems:
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors—(Viagra [sildenafil], Cialis [vardenafil], Levitra [tadalafil])–A phosphodiesterase inhibitor enhances blood flow in the penis and makes it easier to develop and sustain an erection. The medication is provided in a pill.
Vasoactive agents—(phentolamine or papaverine)–This type of medication is given by injection. The medications cause blood vessels in the penis to expand. This increases the blood flow to the penis and results in an erection.
Testosterone replacement therapy—This might be helpful for some men, though there is little supporting evidence.
Mechanical devices—There are a number of mechanical devices that men can use to maintain an erection. These include:
Constriction devices—A binding device is placed at the base of the penis to slow the outflow of blood to produce and maintain an erection.
Vacuum devices—A device that creates a suction is placed over the penis. The suction causes blood to flow to the penis to produce and maintain an erection.
For premature ejaculation
Medications in the SSRI family, such as Paxil (paroxetine) have been shown effective. They may be used on a daily basis, or several hours prior to intercourse
Anesthetic creams may be useful
For Women
Testosterone replacement therapy (the hormone testosterone is thought to increase sexual activity and enjoyment, though this has not been proven)
Vaginal estrogen creams or rings.
Lubricants—used to ease vaginal dryness
You talk and work with a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker or licensed counselor to figure out ways to deals with stressful or painful issues.
Sex Therapy
Sex therapists assist you by encouraging communications, teaching you about sexual fantasies, and helping you focus on sexual stimuli.
Behavioral Therapy
A psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker or licensed counselor works with you to unlearn automatic behaviors.
Marriage or Relationship Counseling
Couples meet with a psychologist, social worker or other type of mental health professional to discuss issues, including communications problems.
There are no known ways to prevent psychosexual dysfunction.
To help reduce your chances of developing psychosexual dysfunction, take the following steps:
Stay aware of your psychological or emotional health.
Call your doctor or mental health provider if you feel the problems surfacing again, you are experiencing excessive stress, or you anticipate a stressful situation in the near future.
Spend time alone with your partner often, especially nonsexual intimate time, to help maintain the relationship. This will most likely lead to increase sexual interest.
Continue to communicate openly with your partner about intimacy and sexual issues.

Prospect Of The Day
Durham righthander Wade Davis (Rays) stymied the Indianapolis batters for six innings, keeping them off the board while allowing just one hit and two walks. The 22-year-old Davis struck out eight in what was the Southern Division clincher for the Bulls, a team that sits just four games over .500. He's gone 3-2, 2.68 in 47 innings since his promotion from Double-A, with 48 strikeouts, 21 walks and five home runs allowed.
Prospect Nuggets
It was a good day for Blue Jays prospects at Syracuse. LHP Ricky Romero struck out six batters and walked three in seven shutout innings at Rochester. He allowed just three hits and improved to 2-3, 3.53. LF Travis Snider went 1-for-4 with a double (five), an RBI, a run scored and two strikeouts . . . Rochester 3B Luke Hughes (Twins), the Australian hitting sensation, went 2-for-4 to improve to .296/.327/.469 through 98 at-bats. His aggregate minor league numbers now stand at .313/.370/.530 through 383 at-bats.
Prospect Of The Day
Nashville third baseman Mat Gamel (Brewers) rebounded from a brutal Triple-A debut on Sunday (0-for-4, four strikeouts, error) to go 3-for-5 with a pair of RBIs and a run scored yesterday. The Sounds, who lost 9-8 to Albuquerque, reside in last place, meaning that the 23-year-old Gamel won't be playing in a minor league playoff series. Instead, he may simply be getting a tune-up before a September callup to Milwaukee.
Prospect Nuggets
Salt Lake SS Brandon Wood (Angels) went 1-for-3 with three walks in a doubleheader split with Portland. The Bees remain five games up on Tacoma . . . Sacramento RF Aaron Cunningham (Athletics) went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored . . . After playing miserably for the first four months of the season, Portland 2B Matt Antonelli (Padres) has found himself in August, during which he's batting .300/.411/.475 in 80 at-bats . . . New Orleans RHP Bobby Parnell (Mets) struck out six Omaha batters in six innings, but also surrendered two runs on five hits and four walks.

Big Band Caravan
Rodger Fox's Wellington Jazz Orchestra / Sammy Nestico-SWR Big Band / Gran Canaria Big Band
Although the Falconaires are billed as the U.S. Air Force Academy Band, the members aren't students but savvy professional musicians, much like those representing the Airmen of Note and other ensembles who happen to be serving in the armed forces. On Sharing the Freedom, the ten selections are almost evenly divided between standards (four) and originals (six), with three splendid arrangements by alto saxophonist John Dawson, another by fellow alto Ryan Janus (his own composition, "Collateral Duty Blues"). Drummer Henrique De Almeida wrote "Deixa Falar" (Carnival), tenor saxophonist Ricky Sweum "Yesterday's Tomorrow" (both arranged by Dawson). The other originals are by Wayne Shorter ("This Is for Albert"), Freddie Hubbard ("Little Sunflower") and the talented young Colorado-based composer / arranger Chie Imaizumi ("Sharing the Freedom").There are three vocals ("I Feel a Song Coming On," "Bali Hai," "Nature Boy") by Cissy Saalborn who fares somewhat better on the ballads even though her slightly nasal timbre and mannered phrasing may not suit everyone's taste. Trombonist Mark Burditt and pianist Todd Gustafson (an unabashed standout) share blowing space on Cole Porter's "What Is This Thing Called Love?"
Needless to say, the Falconaires perform admirably as a unit, while the soloists are consistently sharp and engaging. Dawson's nimble soprano (listed as alto) is showcased on the groovy "Albert," and he solos nicely (on alto) with De Almeida and trumpeter Marcel Marchetti on the rhythmic "Carnival." Tenor Geoffrey Torres reinforces Saalborn on "I Feel a Song," while bass clarinetist Scott Richardson provides support on "Bali Hai," trombonist Burditt on "Nature Boy." Trumpeter Mark Israel and trombonist / music director Scott Crump are front and center on "Sunflower," Sweum, Gustafson and De Almeida on "Yesterday's Tomorrow." While all the charts are keenly drawn, the pick of the litter are the multi-colored "Yesterday's Tomorrow" (with Gustafson on electric piano) and especially Janus' "Collateral Duty Blues," an irrepressible swinger that keeps the blues well hidden behind its sunny disposition. Soloists are Janus (alto), Gustafson, trombonist Randy Schneider and bassist Jason Crowe. "Sharing the Freedom" (solos by Crowe and Sweum) wraps things up in an earnestly patriotic package.
No, they aren't the Airmen of Note, but as this superb recording affirms, the Falconaires can play on the same field and hold their own in any skirmish. As with the University of North Texas' One O'Clock and Two O'Clock Lab Bands, the differences between them are so trivial that they are hardly worth mentioning. What is worth imparting is that Sharing the Freedom is (pardon the nautical term) ship-shape from stem to stern and would be easily recommended if it were available to the general public, which, regrettably, it is not.
University of WisconsinEau Claire
A Gentleman Named John
Sea Breeze Vista
The question is this: how has a jazz ensemble from a relatively small university in west-central Wisconsin that doesn't even offer a degree in Jazz Studies been named "Best College Big Band" by DownBeat magazine, not once but six times, and had two of its fourteen CDs nominated for Grammy awards? To those who listen, the answer is clear: this is one of the country's leading university-level ensembles, even though none of its members is a jazz major or a grad student. There is, of course, more to it than that. Robert Baca, a fine trumpeter in his own right, has directed the jazz ensemble for more than two decades, lending the program cohesion and continuity. Not only is Baca a splendid director, he must be a tenacious recruiter as well, as the university draws first-rate musicians into the program year after year. This latest group is certainly no exception, affirming on A Gentleman Named John that the applause and accolades have not been misplaced.
Running quickly through the program, it consists of jazz themes by Thad Jones ("Three and One"), Miles Davis ("So What"), Freddie Hubbard ("D Minor Mint") and Dizzy Gillespie ("Things to Come"), the standard "All the Things You Are," Steely Dan's "Black Friday" (arranged by Fred Sturm) and original compositions by Sturm ("Praising Khangai") and band members Aaron Hedenstrom ("Stumbling Blocks") and Corey Cunningham ("Gentleman John"). While the charts, including a pair ("All the Things," "So What") by Don Sebesky and another ("D Minor Mint") by UW-EC alumnus Jamie Simmons, are far from simple, the ensemble cruises through them with poise and assurance. The trumpet section in particular has some formidable mountains to climb on "Mint" and "Things to Come" but clears each of them with room to spare.

If I had a dollar for every person who says "don't pick him up all the time" "don't carry him around" "why do you always carry him?" "Not picking up my DS/DD every time they wanted me to has been a lifesaver"
then I'd be a very rich woman!!
I'm just sick of it. So what if its maybe a bit more effort to carry him I like doing it, he likes it and we can so why not? It just seems like every person I meet has a negetive opinon of carrying but we enjoy it and I think its made our bond alot stronger.
How do you other mums deal with this? Any good comebacks?

I have been looking for a Kilim ottoman for a while now. I was a little worried about the quality when I ordered it because the price is so reasonable. But, I wanted one sooo bad! I was thrilled when it arrived. It is beautiful. Has just the perfect amount of rustic quality. I would buy it again in a heart beat!
We love this ottoman, perfect for little kiddos learning to walk and with grubby hands! It is a bit puffy in the middle (I thought it would be flatter)...but I don't notice it anymore and I usually keep a serving tray with some heavy items on it to flatten it out a bit. The interior has a chemical smell but we just keep DVDs in there, so we don't open it enough for it to bother me. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase.

Plagiarism found in Hypertension article causing a retraction
The article found to be plagiarized was found to be a duplicate of an article about an aortic dissection of an 11 year old child. What is wrong with people to stoop so low as to plagiarize an article of this nature? Why can't anyone write in their own words anymore?
After a thorough investigation, the article has been retracted from the journals publication. The Korean Journal has apologized and completely retracted the article. It is pretty bad when someone has to steal from an article of this nature. If you can't write in your own words then don't write at all. Plagiarism is stupid and can carry some serious consequences.
When it comes to writing anything this serious and if you have to do your research, you must write everything in your own words completely. There is no excuse for plagiarism. What is the deal with these people anyway?
So the moral of this story is when you write it, write it original no matter what it is.

The carrot of hosting the AFC Champions League final has given Adelaide United a turbo-boost ahead of its looming quarter-final clash against Uzbekistan's Bunyodkor.
That's the verdict of utility Jon McKain as the Reds dream of superseding 2008 when their fairytale ride to the final saw them soundly beaten by Gamba Osaka in the decider.
"The success of the past has shown us what this club is capable of and there's a determination there to go one better than 2008," he said.
"The big carrot is the possibility of the final being at Hindmarsh, that's a little bit of added incentive. Not that you need it in this competition.
"Bunyodkor will be tough but they have only recently come off a five-week break, so the fact that we are out of season might not be such a factor as you might imagine.
"I don't think we'll be too far behind them. We've had plenty of preparation now with around seven lead-in games, so there will be no excuses.
"We know them as a team but every game brings something new."
An impressive ACL campaign has already seen John Kosmina's men overcome J-League heavyweight Nagoya Grampus in the round of 16, as well as Gamba in the group stage, to set up the two-legged confrontation with David Carney's Bunyodkor.
If the Reds get the better of a Bunyodkor side they took four points from in the group stage, they will face the winner of the quarter-final between Korea Republic's Ulsan Hyundai and Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal with victory in that one leading them back to the promised land of Hindmarsh Stadium for the one-off November final.
And if the Reds are looking for omen, they overcame Bunyodkor 3-1 on aggregate in their semi-final back in 2008.
Buoyed by Friday's 6-2 pre-season mauling of defending A-League champion Brisbane Roar at Hindmarsh Stadium, the Reds have a final warm-up against Central Coast on home soil before the Bunyodkor blockbuster on September 19, with the return on October 3.
McKain says his teammates are not letting the resounding win produce a false sense of security, explaining: "We beat them 3-0 in pre-season last year and they ended up giving us a seven-goal hiding during the season, so we are certainly not getting carried away.
"It was a good result for us, we put together some good stuff and you have seen we are intent on rising to the challenge after the disappointment of last season.
"But Brisbane are still the team to beat, make no mistake. We are a little ahead of them in our preparation with everything geared towards the Champions League for us right now.
"We had a bit more focus on this occasion but in the scheme of things it's not really an indicator of anything. That said, the signs were good and we have something to build on."
McKain contends that the Reds under Kosmina have more depth than the Rini Coolen version – and are equipped to challenge again for A-League honours.
"We have changed very few players this pre-season unlike last year when there were 11 new faces at the club and there's a lot more continuity now and the quality of the team runs a bit deeper."
Places are also at a premium, with even former skipper McKain – a regular at the back last season – being used off the bench as a 70th minute substitute in midfield against Roar.
"I've played at the back most of the pre-season but also in midfield and off the bench, so nothing is easy. I will play wherever Kossie thinks I'm best suited.
"I enjoy switching positions. There are always things to learn. Kossie has been chopping and changing and seeing what works and what doesn't."

Home Activities Regional Activities Europe Western Europe Actions and projects in Western Europe Action plan and activities 2005-2006 Assessment of our activities for 2005 - Orientations for 2006 | ||
* Objectives 2005 In Europe, the work on the Charter of Human Responsibilities has actually started in February 2005. In a first stage, until November 2005, our objectives were the following:
This stage should give us the first elements on the relevance of the Charter project at the European level, which would allow us to plan the following stages. * Interviews: first results The first elements came from the interviews we have carried out, in various professional and social sectors, in three countries: France, Greece and Italy. The interviews were orientated by the questions of a questionnaire that the coordination team of the Charter in Europe had prepared, that was especially adapted to the European context. Between beginning March and end September 2005, we have interviewed approximately thirty people. From now to mid November, we will have transcribed the results of some 20 additional interviews. We have noted that the persons interviewed found the Charter project interesting and quite necessary. Its first utility would be to use it as a tool to make people sensitive to the question of responsibilities, to reach a change of mentalities and behaviors. Most of the persons interviewed speak about a personal change, as a condition for a social change. If the Charter is used to make people become sensitive, to stimulate consciences, there will be a change of behaviors, a citizen involvement within social and professional groups, a daily involvement in action. The socially responsible action will then become more effective and, from there we can think of proposing the Charter as a reference text at the international level. These people consider that it would be unrealistic and ineffective to try - at this precise moment - to make the Charter become a "third pillar" of the international life. Obviously, the sample of our research is so restricted that we cannot claim that these first results are representative of the social representations on the notion of responsibility and the possible value given to the Charter, at the European level. Nevertheless, these first results give us some indications and tracks that help us specifying the next stages in our project. * Significant experiments In parallel, we have tried to pinpoint significant experiments from the point of view of professional and social sectors in Europe that assume responsibilities, experiments such as "a responsible company", cases with local authorities assuming responsibilities, cases with consumers assuming responsibilities, etc. We also pinpointed European NGOs projects whose objective is to make people become responsible, change their attitudes, in order to behave responsibly in their everyday life, during purchases, at home, at the place of work and of leisures. * Plurality of charters, codes, pacts… Through this first inventory, we have noted that there are several other "charters", quite widespread at the European level, underlying principles of the same kind as those of the "Charter of Human Responsibilities"; i.e.: "I am aware that I am partly responsible in the environmental pollution", etc. Those are charters such as a "Code of ethics" for some or other "responsible" company, "Green purchases" proposed by the European Union for the public sector supplies, the "Pact for the Earth" proposed by Nicolas Hulot Foundation in France, the "Earth Charter" and others. * Objectives 2006-2007: awareness and partnership Based on these first results and indications, with regard to the European context, we think of concentrating our work in priority, during the years 2006-2007, on using the Charter as a tool for making people sensitive and aware. In particular, we will try: 1. To make people become sensitive on the concept of responsibility, by creating the adequate educational tools:
2. To diffuse the Charter and the information on the international project of the Charter to professional groups that can play the role of educational agents and information "multipliers: teachers, leaders, trainers, journalists, persons in charge for communication within public or private organizations. 3. To try to associate the above mentioned professional groups in an awareness rising effort in assuming individual responsibilities, based on the Charter as a stimulating tool. |

Will there be a better deal then this before the holidays?
great deal... too bad tax to CA kills the deal for me =/
Norkusa, are you out there? I hope you held out for this deal instead of the one from Beach Camera. If so, now is the time to bite.
#1: This is the lowest price offered since the camera's release (click "History" in the description). It's also from a good seller instead of the usual gray-market east coast con artist.
Haha, you remembered Snot! Yeah, I wasn't sure about Beach so I decided to wait for another Newegg sale. Got the 15% off coupon in my email this morning and snatched the S95 right away for $50 off. Also grabbed the classy PSC-900 Canon leather case to go with it.
Like you said, this is the cheapest the S95 has ever been so I'm totally happy with this deal.

Conflict between Hyper-V and Intel HD Graphics driver
2010년 1월 19일 화요일 오후 7:19Conflict between Hyper-V and Intel HD Graphics driver
I recently 'upgraded' a machine with a new H55 motherboard and Intel i5-660 CPU. It is running Windows Server 2008 R2, with Windows Home Server running in a VM. For a variety of reasons, I ended up re-installing the OS, so it's now a clean install. I haven't resurrected the VM yet, because there is some sort of conflict between Hyper-V and the Intel HD Graphics driver for the graphics embedded in the processor.
Without Hyper-V the graphics driver works fine and without the graphics driver the server works fine. With both in the system, the screen is garbled and the desktop is unusable. Eventually, after many graphics resets, the server crashes with 0x00000116 as the reason. As you might expect, Windows 7 works fine with the graphics driver installed.
If anyone has already posted about this, I apologize. Please refer me to the post.

2010년 1월 19일 화요일 오후 9:29Hello,
Did you try to install an older version of your graphics driver to check if Hyper-v works fine ?
David LACHARI -
2010년 1월 19일 화요일 오후 11:39
2010년 1월 20일 수요일 오전 1:09Thanks for replying.
I'm not sure where I'd get 'an older version of your graphics driver'. Intel doesn't show one on their site and this is the first time I've needed an 'HD graphics' driver' for CPU embedded graphics. Before now it was always embedded in the chipset.
I read KB961661, but I'm not sure it applies to Server 2008 R2. In any case, slow performance is not an issue, non-performance is my problem. I have no choice but to use the generic VGA driver.

Have you installed additional drivers for the graphic card? Have you tried to leave it only with the drivers from Windows Server 2008 R2(don't install additional drivers)?
Vincent Hu
2010년 1월 20일 수요일 오전 7:33I'm not sure what you are asking.
This is all about whether or not an 'additional driver' is installed for the embedded graphics.
As I said, it works fine if I don't install the Intel HD Graphics driver. In other words, there are no problems when the generic VGA driver is installed.
2010년 1월 20일 수요일 오전 7:40중재자
I suspect that there are some compatibility issue with Intel HD Graphics driver and Hyper-V. If you are not concern about the performance of the graphics card(you don't want to play movie or game on this computer), you can leave it with generic VGA driver.
The following post discussed the similar issue with graphics card driver issue, you can refer to:
Windows Server 2008 R2: ATI HD4670 / BSoD / Hyper-V

I understand that you may need to perform the daily work on the Hyper-V host computer(I know that some engineers use their laptop for Hyper-V and daily work). However, generally speaking, we don't recommend that you install accelerated video drivers on Hyper-V host machine, it's known to cause (sometimes severe) performance issues. As you can see the description in the KB article provided by Bill.
By the way, if you want to perform the further research about the crash, I recommend that you contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Because we find it seems to be system crash issue and we need to analyze the crash dump file to narrow down the root cause of the issue. Unfortunately, it is not effective for us to debug the crash dump file here in the forum. Thanks for your understanding.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
Hope the issue will be resolved soon.

2010년 1월 28일 목요일 오전 8:02Vincent Hu: Take a look at this article at Virtual PC Guy's blog:
Read in particular "4. Get a system with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT)."
The processor in question is a Core i5, so it should support it.- 답변으로 제안됨 Yuhong Bao 2010년 2월 19일 금요일 오후 8:11
2010년 2월 19일 금요일 오전 11:32
- Notebooks - in my case a Lenovo T410 with Core i7 and nVidia graphics - do not seen to support SLAT.
- Using the standard driver is not an option: Bad resultion and no support for a second monitor.
- On older notebooks with less graphical power it all works fine.
This way, it's just a showstopper for hyper-v.
Example: SharePoint 2010 Demo. SharePoint 2010 needs hyper-v. Should I carry a server-rack to the customers? -
2010년 2월 19일 금요일 오후 8:11"Notebooks - in my case a Lenovo T410 with Core i7 and nVidia graphics - do not seen to support SLAT."
False, I think it does. -
2010년 5월 8일 토요일 오후 6:54
I own a T410s with i5-520. When installing the intel video driver i get a bsod. if i don't install the driver, i cannot use a second monitor and furthermore windows does not realize the native display resolution. so this is not an option.
imho a bsod in this days is not speaking for a stable os. intel and microsoft should work together for a resolution. if we cannot use actual hardware with our favorite os we have to look for working alternatives.

That would be pretty much a waste of time. The product group is well aware of this problem and it bugs them too.

It is not a performance problem, it's a blue screen problem. You should refer to this thread instead: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverhyperv/thread/946bb4cc-c553-43f6-b723-a453174de709

I agree, slow is not a problem, BSOD is. It won't even boot. There is a connect thread on this: https://connect.microsoft.com/WindowsServerFeedback/feedback/details/527817/hyper-v-install-blue-screen-video-tdr-failure?wa=wsignin1.0 and it's up to 70 people seing BSODs I'm one of them, lots of different configuration, lots of reason why this is necessary, I have to say I'm a little baffled that BSODs would pass quality testing for a server. Slowness I can live it (it's not supported) but BSODs...
Anyway I hope this gets solved rapidely because I can't do presentations and that means I can't showcase Windows 2008 R2 or other MS products. Being an MVP that's of great importance to me. I will most certainly call support on this and see what they can do.
Good luck.

A framework is goddamn useless. You know that right? Well, the framework provides you facilities. It is you who should actually use the features provided by the framework to create your application; and in that process sir, you are going to create more files. Of those files, there would be some files whose whole purpose is to be included elsewhere and such files are usually called as 'includes'. As such, the QCubed framework itself is contained in the includes directory of the installation.
Application is made of code. To make an application you need to write code. If it is a web application, you need to create forms which could allow you to enter data into the database. No matter you are using PhpMyAdmin or PhpPgAdmin or any other database administration system, you cannot use it for long for the simple reason that they cannot be made a part of your very own application. If you do, you are risking the security and integrity of your database.
Applications grow and they grow in no time. Every application begins small and then starts adding in new functionalities. Let us say that you are running a small website which deals with classified ads. The service is free in the beginning. Slowly your website catches up and you want to start a paid service. Now is the problem - you have to manage financial transactions as well as the regular data your site hosts. However, now there is a risk - if for any reason, your main site database crashes or is hacked into, you are risking your financial transactions data as well!
In the last part we examined the way to extract out the Query String from the URL. However, as is known well, the query string in itself is useless. It is the keys and their values that matter! This post is just about that - how to extract the names of the keys and their values from the query string received on the URL (via GET request). We will not cover how to read the query string as we have done that already in the last program. Let us bring in a few new goodies into that program and introduce a way to extract and print the values in the URL.
QCubed PHP Framework features a lot of things really useful for helping you build your web application real fast. Here are some of those features:

Tiny radioactive spheres can reduce the size of liver metastases in patients and significantly increase survival, according to results of this phase III trial that tested the effect of adding a single dose of the spheres to chemotherapy delivered into the hepatic artery, which feeds the liver.
The study enrolled 71 patients whose colorectal cancer had spread to the liver and for whom surgically removing these liver metastases was not an option. The patients were randomized to receive either chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy plus the radioactive spheres. The treatments were injected into the hepatic artery, because liver tumors derive 80 percent of their blood supply from this artery, whereas the normal liver receives only 20 percent of its blood from the artery. The micro-encapsulated spheres, called "SIR-Spheres," contain high doses of yttrium-90 which can be dissolved by the liver.
The study, led by Dr. Guy van Hazel from Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, in Perth, Australia, found that 14 percent of patients who used chemotherapy plus the spheres had a total response compared to 9 percent in the chemotherapy group. In addition, 56 percent of patients who were treated with both therapies had a partial response compared to 47 percent in patients who just received chemotherapy. The combination therapy also significantly delayed progression of cancer, van Hazel reports. After two years, 42 percent of patients who used the spheres were alive, compared to 26 percent of patients treated with chemotherapy alone.
Dr. Van Hazel noted that the strategy of this approach is to deliver radioactive substance directly to the tumor. This is novel, as nonselective external beam radiation to the liver can result in excessive toxicity. This therapy delayed progression of liver metastases, however, median survival was the same. Dr. Van Hazel cautioned that this study is a subset analysis and was therefore not designed to answer this specific question. Further studies should be done to better clarify the full efficacy of this treatment.

Interpretation of 1D Band Gap in Metallic Systems |

Interpretation of 1D Band Gap in Metallic Systems
In a metallic system, the Fermi level is crossed either from the conducting zone into the non-conducting zone or vice versa.
Is there an interpretation one can give to the direction of the crossing? In other words, if the 1D band gap diagram shows the fermi line is crossed from the non-conducting zone into the conducting zone, would that material be expected to have different properties than one where the the direction of crossing is from the conducting to the non-conducting zone? |

I'm not sure what you mean by "1D band gap" here. Secondly, the Fermi level in a metallic system cross a BAND. That Fermi level then separates the filled band from the empty band, not "conducting zone" from "non-conducting zone" (whatever those are). In a "1D band diagram", if I'm interpreting you correctly, all the momentum has been "integrated" out, so you only have an energy scale diagram. A metal, by definition, has no "band gap" here, at least, not anywhere near the Fermi level. Zz. |

Interpretation of 1D Band Gap in Metallic SystemsYou really need to present a clearer and more precise description of what you are asking. Zz. |

If there exists a band gap, then it's semiconductor or insulator.
If not, it's a metal or semi-metal. |
