Selected as one of Nashville's Lightning 100's Independent Radio Station Spotlight Artists in 2016 and Local Artist of The Week Artist in July of 2017 with song "Let Go" on rotation at Lightning 100 (2016FMQB AAA Station of The Year & NAB Crystal Award Recipient).
Pure heart and soul. That's how you can best describe Hobo Cane.
Born as Javier Alberto Mendoza in the state of Virginia to a Spanish mother and Mexican/American father, Javier's love for music burned bright from a young age. He started his musical career joining Warner-Chappell as a staff writer in Miami, FL. There he spent his time writing tunes for mega pop sensations such as Enrique Iglesias, Juan David, Ricky Martin, Rosario and more. The ever-winding path of life took him to Saint Louis: City of Miles Davis, Tina Turner and Chuck Berry, where he saw musical success with his new following. In 2014 Mendoza moved to Music City, Nashville, TN where he is embarking on a project as Hobo Cane.
Why Hobo Cane? "According to the critics, I've always been too Rock for Pop, too Pop for Alternative, too Anglo for Latin and even sometimes too Latin for Anglo. I think that's a good thing. A hobo is a transient and migrant worker. I've moved from place to place all my life, and I was raised among different cultures and languages. I think my songs are influenced and enriched by that diversity. I want to help destroy the stereotype of any music. My mother's last name is 'Cañas', which means 'Canes' in Spanish. So that's me.... HOBO CANE."
Hobo Cane was awarded a Telly Award in 2015 for Best Original Music in a documentary called "The Forsaken". He's also shared the stage with the likes of Chuck Berry, Los Lobos, Willie Nelson, Great Big World and more. Most recently, Hobo Cane has found a warm songwriting community in Nashville with the Grammy-nominated Barry Dean as well as Grammy Award winners Luke Laird, Lori McKenna, and countless others. Ever the dynamic performer, Hobo Cane has also performed alongside Nashville hit makers Michael W. Smith, Jars of Clay, Chris Tomlin, and Ben Folds, in addition to securing countless television and movie song placements.
Hobo Cane released the self titled album "Hobo Cane" in 2016. This gem of songs was produced by three-time Grammy Award winner Toby Wright. Love is the central theme. "But not the romantic kind of love. I speak of the love that exists all around us whether we claim it or not. Like a tree that gives shade, whether we seek shade or not, love is always there. It flows all around us. We need not claim it, chase it, and want it. We just need to let it in. The songs speak of the obstacles we place ourselves when loving someone or something. We desire, need, hurt and hate because we, without knowing at times, we want to mold love to fit us instead of just letting it and life just be."
Hobo Cane is currently working on a new album. He is currently in the studio and will release in the fall.

"This romance tests the boundaries of marriage, as its characters come to some heart-wrenching decisions." - Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency
(PRWEB) August 03, 2016
Forty-three-year-old Katie, an American divorcée, is newly married to Norwegian civil engineer Olaf Hammerstrøm. He is much older and is a kind and understanding man, but there's little spark in their marriage. Olaf is her third husband and she really wants the marriage to work, but about the only thing the two have in common is their religion.
Restless and suffering from feelings of isolation and dissatisfaction with her marriage, Katie needs a challenge and needs to get away for just a little while from her new life in Norway. She takes a summer teaching job at a boarding school in England to escape. Olaf lets her go, but with trepidation because he truly loves his wife. On her new job, Katie is taken under the wing of the school's director of studies. The two educators quickly become friends, and as the summer passes by, they draw closer. It's decision time: What will Katie do at the end of the summer?
The book's title, "Blue-Eyed Arabs of the North," refers to Europeans, specifically Norwegians, who have been successful in the oil business, literally going from rags to riches.
About the Author: Patricia Bjørnstad grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, lived with a Navy husband in Miami and in Norfolk, and then left the U.S. for a new life with a new man in Norway. She is a retired teacher who finds great joy in writing and gardening. "Life in a foreign land was so different, challenging, and inspiring to creativity that I kept diaries, and subsequently turned them into a book." Her previous book was A Quiet Life in Bedlam.
"This romance tests the boundaries of marriage, as its characters come to some heart-wrenching decisions. We are pleased to announce its release," said Robert Fletcher, CEO of Strategic Book Publishing and Rights Agency.

A singer from the famous German all-girl band No Angels, which has a Bulgarian member in its line-up, has admitted to having unprotected sex with several partners without warning them she was HIV-positive.
Nadja Benaissa, 28, was speaking at the opening of her trial in the German city of Darmstadt.
"I am so sorry," Benaissa told the court. However, she denied deliberately infecting anyone....
It's a shame that anyone who is knowingly infected with HIV or any other virus/std doesn't alert others that they may be at risk of becoming infected, if they have un-protected sex.
That's sad.
You are a girl?!? hahahaha!
I have no idea what you look like, but my daughter is a beautiful girl and very attractive to the opposite sex. If you look anything like her, you can't be an ugly duckling. lol
About Germany:
The comments by the readers are also very interesting.
Please excuse me. I apologize. I am modest and didn't want to say that your daughter is gorgeous and that we look like twins!
That would sound snotty, no?
Btw; The Ugly Duckling became the most beautiful Swan and RS and I have been friends for ages.
Satan a.k.a. Rollingstoned
You are such a silly boy!
What's so funny about being a girl?
My nick scared Bill but he still "warmed" up to me because he thought I was a guy.
I suppose he will hate me now, now that he knows, I'm a "Broad"!
Now, THAT is funny!
I am going to make your accusation/assumption come true.
RS is banned so I am going to give him my password....tomorow, or perhaps, next week.
It is too bad that you and Bill don't have such trust.
I don't hate anybody because of sex along. Just certain ones who keep slamming.
Does it signify anything that all three of the posters taking satanic names--WW, Devil's Advocate and you--are all female?
"Does it signify anything that all three of the posters taking satanic names"
Probably says more about your paranoia than anything else!!
"Probably says more about your paranoia than anything else!!"
'Doesn't make any comment at all. Merely noting a "coincidence".
Satan said I'd probably hate her since discovering that she was female. That makes no difference to my opinion of slammers--even you, whatever you are.
I'll pick up on something you said earlier.
"It is too bad that you and Bill don't have such trust."
You've just seen what Nellie did. It's bad enough that she constantly swerves from friendly to inimical, but now she comes along and slams my sister, too, who is a very accomplished and respected woman. I'm very proud of her, but she's out of bounds when it comes to such accusations as Nellie has made. That was way out of line.
She likes to play games, but my e-mail is not a gaming site. I've had to put up with a mass of crap from her; I don't need it in my e-mail.
I never got an answer from SNA about RS being banned, and I can't see why, either, that he should have been.
Another way of looking at it is that only protected sex practices should be encouraged. Partners should require of each other the use of condoms especially in cases of first time sex.
"Probably says more about your paranoia than anything else!!"
Hi Hayawani,
I agree.

Best indie shops: West Village
Mon Apr 12 2010
Aedes de Venustas
You'll be transported to Paris once you step inside this opulent bath-and-body shop. Rich burgundy carpets, gilded wallpaper, a gloriously huge chandelier and a mahogany desk that serves as the checkout area set the stage for the luxurious fragrances ($50--$300), candles ($20-$400), lotions and soaps from brands like Diptyque and Annick Goutal. Curiosity cabinets house many of the store's exclusives—the West Village outpost is the only location in the country to sell several items, including candles by Les Secrets Ladure Paris. 9 Christopher Sts between Sixth and Seventh Aves (212-206-8674, aedes.com)
Albertine + Albertine General
Thanks to a ceramic birdbath in the window and pink Louis XIV--style chairs and birdcages adorning the shop, Albertine is a fitting setting for a tea party—and carries what you could wear to one. Owner Kyung Lee designs the house line, Delphine, which covers both bespoke and off-the-rack clothing. Shoes and dresses by Rachel Comey, Bodkin, Apiece Apart and CFDA nominee Gary Graham also fill the slim shop. Right next door is sister store Abertine General, the jewelry outpost that carries a mix of new and antique baubles, including items from Iosselliani, Kathryn Bentley and custom charm bracelets by Madame Fortuna. A generous fireplace, gilded frames displaying necklaces and a glass cabinet housing a typewriter and stuffed bird lend the store an antique feel. 13 Christopher St at Gay St (212-924-8515, albertine-nyc.com)
The confines of this petite, white-washed space are filled with dainty blouses, A-line skirts and streamlined trousers, all designed by Juliana Cho and tailored by a secret local virtuoso. Leather envelope clutches and Parisian perfumes are perched on vintage tables and in glass cases. If you're tired of shopping, you can take a seat on a wooden bench that looks like it's straight out of a 19th-century classroom. 636 Hudson St at Horatio St (212-255-5574)
Bleecker Street Records
Though anyone could get turned around from the haphazard strings of Christmas lights and records plastering the basement ceiling, music nerds will be happy to get lost into this bilevel vault of new and used CDs, records, DVDs and posters. The shop is overstuffed with a great selection of rare vinyl including jazz LPs from the '50s and '60s; rock LPs from the '60s; and British, Japanese and German imports. The bands run the gamut from never-heard-of-'em to Top 40—and the prices are just as varied. 239 Bleecker St between Carmine St and Leroy St (212-255-7899, bleeckerstreetrecords.com)
Castor & Pollux
A subtle equestrian theme runs through this sophisticated boutique, decorated in a neutral palette of black, gray and cream. Expect new, smart separates from the stylish downtown crowd's favorite clothing labels, including Acne, Vena Cava, Tucker, Risto and Richard Chai Love. Cosmetics by Lipstick Queen and RGB nail polish provide the finishing touches. 238 W 10th St between Bleecker and Hudson Sts (212-645-6572, castorandpolluxstore.com)
The Crangi Family Project
Mystery abounds in this 200-square-foot, dimly lit space, where you can dig through pirate-worthy treasures, including designer Philip Crangi's Giles & Brother brass Pied-de-Biche rings and oxidized spiked bracelets. If you've got cash to burn, ogle the glass-encased Philip Crangi collection, his high-end line of maritime-inspired pendants, stackable twisted steel-and-gold bangles, and diamond-encrusted bubble rings. Not looking for jewels? Check out the hammered bronze chrysanthemums, or snag a rare book on anything from semiprecious stones to poisonous fungi. 9 Ninth Ave at Little W 12th St (212-929-0858, crangifamilyproject.com)
It makes perfect sense that owner Ann Emonts Sherma is a former theater costume designer; you can see her flair for the dramatic in the vintage clothing she stocks, as well as the design of the space. Fresh flowers displayed throughout match the sunny disposition of the staff. Tables and chairs bordered by ivy-covered walls make for the perfect rest stop for shopping buddies (even four-legged ones) when the backyard garden isn't being used for vintage sales in the summer. Dresses range from $98 to $398 and tops cost $50 to $225, with the average vintage necklace ringing in at $58. TONY deal: Mention TONY for 15 percent off everything in the shop through April 29. 1 Horatio St (646-336-6966, darlingnyc.com)
Flight 001
Shaped like the inside of an airplane, this travel shop—opened by jet-setting businessmen John Sencion and Brad John in 1999—attracts tourists and techies alike with its clever sampling of travel accessories, including neck pillows, city guides, mini globes, and lightweight Rimowa suitcases. Frequent travelers can also satiate their esoteric in-air needs by rifling through the shop's high-end toiletry bags. TONY deal: Mention TONY to receive 15 percent off everything through April 29. 96 Greenwich Ave between Jane and W 12th Sts (212-989-0001, flight001.com)
Sparkly dresses and tulle-and-silk skirts (all made with vintage fabric by owner Lorraine Kirk) abound at this boudoir-inspired boutique. The boutique's name is a portmanteau of the owner's daughters' names—Gemima, Domino and Lola, and this mirror-laden costume closet is a destination for everyone from high-school girls seeking ballerina-inspired prom dresses to middle-aged women addicted to 1940s pencil-cut frocks. 41 Perry St between W 4th St and 7th Ave (212-675-1994, geminola.com)
Greenwich Letterpress
This stationery store—with exposed brick, cheerful floral wallpaper and a pink overhanging lamp—exudes West Village charm. It's owned by sisters Amy Swanson and Beth Salvini, whose family has been in the printing biz for three generations, and nearly everything is designed in-house and produced on an old Gutenberg-style press. Aside from note cards and stationery, GLP also offers notebooks, rubber stamps, labels, gift tags and striking wrapping paper for $3--$5 a sheet. 39 Christopher St at Waverly Pl (212-989-7464, greenwichletterpress.com)

Arnold Palmer brought the game to the masses in the early years of sports television with a unique blend of talent and charisma. He holds a number of U.S. Ryder Cup records, including most singles matches played and most matches won, hes tied for most singles matches won and most foursome matches won.
Gary Player is no stranger to international golf. The South African is widely regarded as the most traveled athlete in the world, closing in on 13 million miles. He has won 163 tournaments in five continents and was the third golfer to win the career Grand Slam. A victim of timing and geography, Player was never eligible for the Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup and had his first taste of large-scale international team competition at last years UBS Warburg Cup.
These two legends reprise their roles as captain of their respective teams in November at the second UBS Warburg Cup. Both men have overwhelmingly positive memories of the inaugural event and seem intent on carrying the success of 2001 in to this years edition.
Arnold, youre the most accomplished U.S. team player in history, what are your feelings as you look back over a career playing on and captaining Ryder Cup, Presidents Cup and UBS Warburg Cup teams?
Well, my feelings of course are fantastic. Many years ago I had the idea that golf competition internationally or between nations was a way of creating good feelings and good clean competition between the various countries of the world and the people that we involved, and I havent changed that thought at all. So, Im very proud about the fact that Ive been able to participate in the Ryder Cup, The Presidents Cup and the UBS Warburg Cup and of course I think that the initial USB Warburg Cup was one of the friendliest competitions that we have had. It was a fun situation and I think all the players, even though theyre getting a little older, enjoyed themselves very much.
Can you describe the mood of last years UBS Warburg Cup matches?
Well, it was fantastic, David. The fact that the players really got caught up in the magic of the competition. They were very motivated and each and every one of them enjoyed it, and it looked for long time like the U.S. was not going to come out of this competition on the topside. But it worked out very well and I think that made it more exciting and I think more enjoyable even for both teams.
Your playing days were defined by sportsmanship, style and dignity. How did you pass those characteristics to your UBS Warburg Cup team last year?
I dont know that I had a great deal to do with how the players played coming down the line. I know how I felt, playing against Gary, an old friend and certainly one of the most competitive people that Ive ever played with. In that competition, I felt very fortunate. Neither of us was playing exceptionally well and maybe I was just lucky to come out on the topside of that. But whatever, it was fun and of course, it stimulated a lot of people to enjoy that competition.
What do you hope to accomplish at the 2002 UBS Warburg Cup?
I would be very happy if we could accomplish the same things that we accomplished in the first competition. The camaraderie between the teams, the enjoyment that the players held seeing each other and competing against each other, and of course, Id be remiss if I didnt say that the same result would satisfy me very much.
Spirit, civility and sportsmanship were prevalent at the 2001 UBS Warburg Cup, how did you, as captain, help foster that attitude?
I said to our guys before we played, Look, we want to win this match very badly but lets behave properly. I said I dont want to see any guys coming out with crazy statements anything about, I dont like this guy or this or that. I said keep your feelings to yourself and go out and play. I said we are a team now, this is not an individual match, this is a team. I said youre representing the Rest of The World, not just yourself, and lets go out and try and beat them with the golf clubs, not with our mouths.
Your team seemed to take your words to heart, and from a spectators perspective it certainly seemed very refreshing, their opinions and their attitudes and the way they treated each other. From a competitive standpoint, how do you like your team?
Well I think weve got a very good chance. Last year we lost by half a point and that made it such an exciting event. And I think the UBS Warburg Cup playing in Georgia this year it is going to have great crowds. And for Arnold to captain the United States, is a thrill for me to have my team play his team because Arnold and I, as you know, have grown up together and I certainly have a lot of respect for him.
As he does for you. Any special strategies to look for this year?
You know, I get together with my team because there will always be a different team from year to year and I say to them, who do you feel comfortable playing with? I think thats very important, I must say. So theres a lot of discussion that goes on when you have a team.
In the final, from a competitive standpoint and a sportsmanship standpoint, what do you hope to see at Sea Island this year?
Id like the galleries to come out and see that you can be competitive and yet still be a gentleman. The thing is, weve got to remember that there are hundreds of millions of young people that are looking and watching us, and weve got to set the example for the youth. Winston Churchill said the youth of our nation are the trustees of posterity. And so it is up to us to set the example for these young people so that they can follow suit. When they see people waving flags and screaming miss and war on the shore, and I hate this guy; and this and that, that breeds the wrong message to young people. As it is, television injects children with an attitude of crime. Weve got to try and balance that and get a good message across to young people and I think this is a wonderful example of doing it.

Grateful Dead
Hello fellow dead heads, I am making a chess board for a friend and I designed an image to use with the skull. My local copy center will not print it for me because of copyright, I wondered if anyone knows who to speak to to get permission to use it for my project? Thanks!
check your pm please
We were at these shows and would dearly love to have these available as are the Chicago Shows...not interested so much in the Chicago shows since we were not there for them...please, please make these available since I would snap them up in Hartbeat...anybody here have an explanation from the org as to why these shows have never been officially released????
Just a new guy checking in. Looking forward to meeting all of you!
I was recording a rebroadcast of the Grateful Dead concert from the seventies!Bob Weir announced they were taking a short break so the audience could turn their cassette tapes over, so They would not have a gap in their personal self made recording.That,s what made Them an icon among music,s most respected bands of the last six decades!The Grateful Dead,s communal lifestyle spilled over into the entourage setting examples that sharing things in life make others feel the same way!
I am new here and joined a few months ago and love the Grateful Dead. Accidentally, years ago I ended up as a young child of 10 at an Ohio show in the Summer of 94, but my mother and Uncle (Who was an old rock aficionado), didn't stay. The music collector that I am, wishes that I would have seen the great, Jerry Garcia, when he was still alive as we ended up going to see the Bluegrass superstar, Alison Krauss, later that night. Now, that I am more heavily into the Dead than ever, I am glad to be part of the community of one of the most artistic and mind expanding bands of all time.
Holler if you require navigational assistance.
Just want to say hello to my fellow Deadheads. Looking forward to discovering some great jams and making some new friends, hopefully.
Are these shows ever gonna be put out for public consumption. I'd sure like to hear them. What I hear on Archive sounds okay but muffled. Would much rather hear clear copies. Hopefully!!!
Mr. Charlie, 12/05/1971, 8th song of the first set. I have the same WNEW-FM cassette....

Once every decade, new voting districts for Congress and state legislatures are redrawn.
That's why declines in Michigan's overall population and an exodus of minority voters to the suburbs, coupled with a Republican-controlled state Congress, created new districts that pit Democrat lawmaker against lawmaker.
The creatively-drawn districts pit eight incumbent Democrat legislators into just four districts of Wayne and Macomb Counties. The 13th and 14th districts in Metro Detroit were also redrawn to, by law, guarantee a majority population of minority voters.
The redistricting will have the most effect on non-white Democrat lawmakers. As many as 35% of Michigan's minority sitting state Congressmen could be voted out of office on Tuesday.
Confused about the issues? Head to publius.org, a nonprofit voter education site built by Detroiter Vince Keenan. Publius, an interactive voter guide, custom builds sample ballots and gives voting locations for Michiganders who are registered to vote. Plus, it gives voters their sample ballot, delivered alongside videos and websites and candidate surveys so you can make an informed decision.
To compare the new redistricting map with the current districts, move the slider from right to left.

This is the fifth merger for NELSON in 2014 and marks a year-end revenue growth of 60% for the firm – ranking them at the very top of the industry's high growth firms.
(PRWEB) November 19, 2014
In a move that marks 2014 as a record-setting year, global Design, Architecture, Engineering and Consulting Services firm NELSON has acquired EHS Design. This is the fifth merger for NELSON in 2014 and marks a year-end revenue growth of 60% for the firm – ranking them at the very top of the industry's high growth firms. This move significantly expands NELSON's reach into the western United States, anchored by a new hub office in Seattle, Washington.
Founded by Jack Emick and Mindy Howard in 1977, EHS Design developed an impressive client list and reputation through dedication to their clients and a unique and empowering culture. Rapid success ensued, and with the firm merging with Paul Seibert & Associates in 1992, continued its evolution into a full-service design firm with emphasis on corporate interiors and architecture for retail, financial, civic, government and multi-family residential clients.
"Our vision for NELSON has led to just under 30 mergers throughout the past 14 years," said John "Ozzie" Nelson Jr., Chairman and CEO of NELSON. "This progression achieves one of NELSON's goals to continue to expand our services to new strategic geographies. EHS's ability to quickly move into action and respond to clients' needs with our network of nearly 500 Teammates will bring significant opportunities on a national scale. There is a natural synergy with NELSON's established services and practice areas, including financial, retail and corporate. EHS contributes significant multi-family residential and healthcare experience, substantially advancing our efforts in what are growing specialty areas for NELSON."
An exciting part of the transition is the shift of firm management to Mia Marshall, who will take over the reins as Managing Principal of the Seattle office as part of the expansion. "This is a terrific opportunity to bring EHS to amazing new heights, and I am thrilled to see our firm taking this step", stated Marshall. "I am delighted that all of the EHS principals are moving forward together on this new path, and the legacy of EHS's leadership, entrepreneurial spirit and responsiveness to our clients will continue seamlessly through this transition."
The deal will be effective as of January 1, 2015.
NELSON was founded in 1977 and has grown to 35 locations across the globe. With expertise in a broad range of industries, NELSON works with more than 20 percent of companies in the Fortune 100 and is nationally ranked as one of the top firms specializing in Corporate Office Design on Interior Design Magazine's Top 100 Giants list.

lost dual boot mode, can I recover it?
Is there a way to recover the files needed for dual booting (Win7 and XP)? When I tried unsuccessfully to install a SSD, I had multiple instances of the NTLDR getting hosed. I eventually discovered that I could repair the file with my recovery disk. Before this, I could boot to Win7 or XP by selecting from the Windows 7 created menu at bootup. Now I can only boot Win7. I tried to solve the problem with EasyBCD, but it didn't work (I couldn't figure out what had to be done). I have some safe images of my old installation that presumably have the proper boot files on them. I would like to know what files to find and where to copy them. I do not want to install the full images, since they were made a long time ago and I would end up with days of work trying to recover.
Can I get back to dual booting (the XP partition is intact) by copying some files from my images to the proper place? If so, what files do I copy and where do I put them?

Have you tried installing EasyBCD 2.0 beta to WIn7 and adding XP on the Add/Remove tab? Accept offered boot files, let it autocomplete, Save, Restart.
Please post back a screenshot of your full Disk Management drive map and listings, using Snipping Tool in Start Menu. Tell us what is on which partition.
Also please tell us more about the images you have: what they contain exactly, what program they were made by. Do you still need to install the SSD?
|My System Specs
|12 Jul 2010
Thank you. When I switched to version 2.0 I deleted the old XP entry and saved. Then I went to the add option and selected the option that included XP. From that point, the setup was automatic. I tested it and was able to boot in both XP and Win7. The key was apparently to use version 2.0 of EasyBCD.

Oh, I forgot about the SSD. It was a Kingston 128GB. The Acronis software was supposed to clone the existing OS, so that it would only be necessary to switch the boot order in the BIOS to change to the SSD. The problem (at least the first one) was that the version of Acronis I received would only clone an entire disk. My OS partition was 80GB, so it should fit nicely, but it was on a 1TB drive (all of the remaining space was in a second partition). Acronis wouldn't proceed because it wanted to either fit the entire 1TB or nothing. When I tried to restore images from Acronis and Macrium, they sort of worked, but that was when my NTLDR got hosed and my troubles got worse. Fortunately, Amazon accepted the drive back (I wiped it multiple times) for a refund. I will probably build a new computer in a year or so and may give it a try again, with a clean install to a SSD. Until then, I will remain in the spinning mechanical camp.

Windows 7 and XP
The Windows 7 Installation disk has an option to recover "lost" bootable partitions. In my case I got a new hard drive and set up 64-bit Win 7 on it. Doing that, however, made my original 32-bit Win 7 boot drive (which was on a separate physical drive) invisible. Prior to my new hard drive, I only had the original single boot drive, so I needed to (a) find and recover the lost (original) boot drive, and (b) set up a dual boot menu.
"Repair" does all of those things. The function is buried a few menus deep in the install process which can be very confusing if you've never done it before, so here are detailed instructions which I found in another forum:
1. Beginning state: One bootable partition, but a spare bootable partition or drive that is currently not accessable on boot-up.
(Note: This happens a lot when you get a new hard drive and want to put a new OS on it yet want to save your old bootable drive to boot from, usually to store and access some software that may be incompatible with the new OS).
2. Insert the Windows installation disk (not sure, but either a 64-bit or 32-bit DVD would likely work equally well), and use whatever method your computer requires to boot from the DVD rather than HDD.
(Note: this is usually selected either from the BIOS setup screen or sometimes a good BIOs will provide the option on boot up, usually after pressing a special key to flag it into the mode where you can pick a boot-up device).
3. In the first screen after boot-up from the DVD, select the appropriate location and keyboard input, press "Next".
4. Since this is an installation disk, the next screen has a large "Install Now" prompt. Do not select that. Instead, select the "Repair your computer" printed in smaller text at the lower left of the screen. It can be easy to miss if you are not familiar with what the intallation disk can do.
5. The System Repair tool searches for valid operating systems and will state, "Windows found problems with your computer's startup options. Do you want to apply repairs and restart your computer?" Click "Repair and restart".
6. On the next reboot a B/W command level screen will be titled, "Windows Boot Manager". It should display the new bootable partition and the newly found old boot partition as two different boot options. In my case, it displayed the 64-bit boot option first, the 32-bit option next:
"Windows 7
Windows 7 Home Premium (recovered)"
7. This screen is now a permanent fixture in the boot sequence and the installation DVD can be removed.
(Note: Thereafter, every time you boot, the boot manager will appear to give you a choice of your two partitions to boot from. I suspect more than two partitions will work just as well, but you may have to reboot several times, possibly once per partition to recover or include them all. Also if there are other fixable boot issues, the "repair" may also require more than one reboot. However, for a non-damaged boot drive that is fully intact, just "lost", I found it only took one reboot to both find the lost boot drive and mount it in a dual boot menu.)

Do I need an assistant?
LauraC Tuesday, 9th of August 2011
I have narrowed down my photographers to the style im looking for, yey me!
There is however quite a big difference in price as one photographer uses an assistant. Am I likely to receive a higher quality image if I use an assistant ? Is it worth the additional cost ?

Quick Reference
A loan made upon the goods laden in a ship for which the borrower was personally responsible. This is very similar to bottomry, the difference being that in bottomry the ship and its equipment were security for the loan, in respondentia it was the goods alone. Like bottomry it plays no part in modern shipping business.

By: Katie Rush
Even though it seems like the summer weather wants to stick around a little longer, fall semester has officially and finally begun. My name is Katie Rush and I am a senior at Kent State University. In addition to being extremely excited for graduation in roughly 100 days (who's counting?), I'm also thrilled to be a part of the AKHIA team as the fall account services intern for the semester.
Consistently hearing from my peers about the benefits of interning throughout college, I realized late last year I wanted to gain more opportunities during my years as a college student by interning at more than one company. In December, after accepting an internship at Destination Cleveland, the CVB for Cuyahoga County, I reduced my credit hours for the upcoming spring semester. Although I knew this decision would push my graduation date to the following December, I had a gut feeling the experience I would gain from interning would make graduation worth the wait.
After my amazing experience working in the non-profit sector of public relations, I had hoped for an opportunity to intern at an agency during my last semester. I knew many Kent students and graduates had interned at AKHIA and gained invaluable experience and knowledge, so when offered the position of account services intern, I eagerly jumped at the opportunity.
Throughout my time at AKHIA, I hope to learn about the details and logistics of creating and maintaining client relationships, while getting the chance to work directly with the media as a PR professional. The consistent moving parts and fast-paced energy are AKHIA qualities I know I can adapt to, and even thrive on in the beginning of my career. Knowing how quickly my time as an undergraduate student will end, I plan to make the most out of my time at AKHIA.
Although I may not tweet about my time as a student, if you check out my Twitter handle you might see a few posts revolving around my other hobbies. Along with working for AKHIA, I'll also spend the next few months working at a catering company in Downtown Cleveland, screaming at the TV every time the Cavs play and taking my dog, Susan, on long walks when I get home from a busy day. Also, it's not uncommon for you to see me making a lot of lists.
Do you have a fall internship? How do you plan on making the most out of your time?

Whereas some people have dreams about failing their exams and others about finding themselves in a public place with no clothes on, I tend to dream about something far more troubling - Alastair Campbell.
It is a strange, deeply worrying phenomenon about which Siegmund Freud could have written several volumes.
Alastair pops up in dreams about work, home life, holidays, football, money, walks on the Yorkshire moors, everything - even those incomprehensible ones where it is impossible to identify any coherent theme the next morning. All that lives on is an uncomfortable, lingering memory of Mr Campbell at the centre of it all.
Sometimes he's there with his mate Tony (Blair). Normally, they're being rather laddish, hovering like two school bullies. They sneer quite a lot in a vaguely threatening way. Of the two, Alastair is always the dominant figure.
My wife has grown weary of me waking up after a restless night to announce that I have had another unpleasant dream. "What," she says, "not about Alastair again. I should be the one dreaming about him, not you."
The other day, I asked a psychologist friend about my problem. "Ah," he said confidently. "This is quite normal. People do have dreams related to their own profession."
He cited some examples. "Librarians dream about a great long queue of people suddenly arriving at the desk five minutes before closing.
"Teachers dream of the bell going at the end of break, but somehow they can't get to the classroom as the noise of rioting echoes down the corridor."
All very well, I thought and logical too.
But in my Alastair dreams there's never an obvious profession-related worry that could have triggered my mind to spend so many midnight hours fixed on the Number 10 communications chief.
It is not as if I've ever had a full-blown Alastair nightmare in which he snarls at a story of mine in the The Telegraph and threatens to land it on Tony's desk before breakfast.
The dreams are never as obvious as that. He's just there all the time. An all pervading presence that won't go away. Other journalists have told me they dream about Campbell too, but none admit to doing so as often as me.
The problem started several years ago after Campbell, who I had known and always liked, left journalism to work as Blair's press chief. Soon after that I left to work in Brussels. But the dreams continued throughout seven years abroad. Distance from Westminster had no calming effect.
Various thoughts have crossed my mind as I have sought an answer to the question "why him?".
I know from many conversations down the years that a lot of women find Alastair irresistibly attractive.
That might explain their dreams, but certainly not mine. (One female civil servant I knew was the picture of cool, organised, careerist togetherness until the name Alastair Campbell was mentioned when she would lose it all, go puce and jibber.)
I have also wondered whether it all relates back to a real life occasion when he attacked me (verbally) in front of dozens of other journalists just because I worked for The Telegraph.
"Ere," he said, nose turned up as I walked into a press conference. "What are you doing here. I hate your effing paper." Thanks, old friend. But that didn't concern me for more than a few minutes. And he later apologised. He has always been quite friendly since.
Having returned to Westminster I'm closer to the subject of the dreams but not that much closer to the answer. It is true that we live in a media age under a media obsessed government and that Campbell - the press's master controller - is as powerful as anyone in Britain, save Blair himself.
He's changed the dynamics of political reporting because he rewards those from loyal newspapers with so-called "scoops" and does not give critical ones the time of day.
You earn your treats (hunks of propaganda dressed up as stories) through good behaviour. If you want to play the game, you can.
He has today's Labour Party - so uninhibitedly rebellious in the old days - under his thumb too.
If they're not "on message" Labour MPs are doomed to a career of depressing non-advancement.
Campbellism has even rubbed off on the Tories who have imposed a similar system of "total control" on shadow cabinet members.
"It is a nightmare" one Tory MP told me last week. He had wanted to go public with some "top class" policy ideas but was told he couldn't because they were too daring. He wanted rid of the Campbell effect. Me too, I thought.

First card is a fun one I did with a new Art Impressions stamp I got at the Perth craft show...
I stamped the turtle stack onto some watercolour card and used my some Tombow and Distress markers to watercolour them. Art Impressions are awesome as their packaging has the image coloured showing shading which gives a great idea on how to make them look dimensional. I used the sentiment from the set, and also a sentiment from a little Simon Says Stamp set. I used some retro PP for my background and layered it with some brown card and added to a cream card base.
My second card is for the Vellum challenge at A Blog Named Hero.
this is a 3.5" x 5.5" card. It was made as I had the scrap of PP left from another project. I die cut a vellum circle and embossed the Hero Arts sentiment onto it. I had the Hero Arts little bunny already cut and coloured, so it came together really quickly. I die cut some red hearts with the Simon Says Stamp mini hearts die. This is heading it's way to Archie, to let him know Nana and Pop miss him.
If you are in need of any Hero Arts products you can head over to A2Z Scrapbooking Esty store and

Our Beliefs
Our Church is a member of the Anglican Communion, "a fellowship, within the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, of Dioceses, provinces, or regional churches in communion with the Church of England." The Anglican Communion upholds and propagates the Catholic (meaning universal) and Apostolic faith and order as set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, and is bound together, not by a central authority, but by mutual loyalty sustained by common counsel of the Bishops in conference. The Church of England was founded by Christian missionaries in the second century. It was reformed under St. Augustine in the sixth century and severed ties with Roman Catholicism in the sixteenth century.
The foundation and cornerstone of the our Church is Jesus Christ. Anglicans believe that the Bible contains "all things necessary for salvation and is the rule and ultimate standard of faith." It is with this authority, interpreted with the aid of reason (nurtured with God's grace) and tradition (the past history and wisdom of the people of God) that we appeal against false claims.
Anglicans state their faith, which is the teaching of the Scripture, in two ecumenical creeds: The Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. (See Book of Common Prayer, pp. 53 & 326) Both Creeds uphold God as Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The basic ministry of the Anglican Church is the ministry of the laity and the ordained ministries of bishops, priests, and deacons. All are called upon in the Great Commission to "preach the word in season and out of season" to all the world, and to continue Christ's ministry to those in need. The Church's ministry is also a ministry of the sacraments, the two essential ones being Baptism and the Holy Eucharist.

All of us have been touched in some capacity by cancer. Regarding cervical cancer, public education programs and PAP smear screenings have us on the victorious side of prevention. It is understandable that given years of education to women on the importance of annual cervical cancer screenings, there is confusion and concern over the newer guidelines.
First, let me say that the changes in cervical cancer screening recommendations are very well founded in significant advances in our technological capability. These recommendations are more than just a financial analysis of societal cost/benefit ratios (dig at conflicting breast cancer screening guidelines). Our newer technologies allow us to perform sensitive testing for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) strains that are causative in the development of cervical cancer. If a woman has normal appearing cells, and she is free of high-risk strains of HPV, her risk of developing a cervical cancer is almost zero over the next few years. Second, let me emphasize that the PAP smear is only one aspect of care given at an annual exam and women should continue to have a yearly preventive check-up with their gynecologist. With that in mind, the newer PAP smear guidelines are as follows.
Women age 21 and under are not recommended to have PAP smears. These women should have annual health check-ups to include screening for STD's as indicated, initiation of the HPV vaccine, birth control counseling as indicated and complete health maintenance. If a woman under the age of 21 has not become sexually active, she does not need to have a pelvic exam, and time will be spent on other important aspects of a young woman's health care.
Women age 21-29 should have an annual exam, well, every year! PAP smears should be obtained as part of that exam every 1-2 years. HPV testing is recommended for those women whose cellular analysis reveals atypical cells on the PAP. Annual health check-ups include blood pressure and weight screening, breast and pelvic exam, STD screening, contraceptive care and family planning.
Women age 30-65 should have an annual exam, you guessed it, every year! During these years many important health screenings will be conducted in addition to a pelvic exam. Women will have blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid and diabetes screenings. Women will have regular breast exams and referrals for annual mammograms starting at age 40. Family planning, STD testing and contraceptive care is also included. The PAP smear with HPV testing will be conducted every 3-5 years depending on the woman's individual risk profile.
Women age 65 and older will follow current Medicare guidelines. In some women, PAP smears may be discontinued entirely, while others will have a PAP smear every 2 years. Women with HIV and/or a prior history of cervical cancer may be considered high risk and undergo annual PAP smear testing.
To summarize, all women should have an annual gynecological exam…every year! Many important aspects of woman's health will be reviewed during that exam. Not sure what you should do? Starting last fall, women's annual preventive exams are covered at 100% by commercial insurers, so give us a call at 512-836-2536 to schedule your exam. Our practice will have extra open exam slots for those patients needing to schedule before the end of the year. We are also offering a program for women who are without insurance to be able to get a preventive exam, PAP smear and gonorrhea/chlamydia testing.
Visit our website at www.capobgyn.com or call us at 512-836-2536 if you have any questions or to schedule your annual exam. You can also learn more from ACOG Practice Bulletin 131 "Screening for Cervical Cancer".

Anish Sebastian

Many tech start-ups enter the world with ambitions that are hard to articulate or at least encapsulate in fewer than 65 words. BabyScripts is not one of them. Asked for a quick elevator pitch, Sebastian says he can do it in five words: "We're about improving pregnancies."
He actually leaves a word on the table, but the point remains: BabyScripts is not a difficult concept around which to wrap one's head. It is, however, a unique offering in that it serves two drastically different audiences: pregnant mothers and the obstetricians caring for them.
So-called mommy kits containing a blood pressure cuff and a scale are shipped to pregnant women early in their pregnancies. Both cuff and scale are Bluetooth- and Wi-Fi-enabled and link to an app that registers readings. BabyScripts monitors incoming data. If an irregularity or something that indicates increased risk for the mother or baby is identified, the company immediately notifies the woman's obstetrician.
A few years ago connectivity technology had not advanced to the point where a tool/service like BabyScripts could operate as intended (read: in real time). Now that the technology has matured, mothers and obstetricians have warmed to the idea of remote monitoring. "Without the real-time component, this isn't possible. And if it's not reliable, doctors will say, 'Let's have the patient come in every week.' They aren't going to leave this to chance."
The BabyScripts model has been refined since its arrival. While Sebastian says that mothers have been receptive from the outset ("they can be as absorbed and immersed in the pregnancy as they want to be"), the HCP crowd took a bit more convincing. "We went to them and said, 'Hey, we're collecting tons of data, we'd love to share it with you.' They came back to us like, 'Uh, we don't need that much. Just tell us when A, B or C happens,' " he recalls. "And we had this beautiful dashboard for all the information, which didn't fit at all into their workflow."
Up next: selling payers on the company's model. "The idea of collecting data remotely and addressing problems as soon as they happen—I think that fits really well into the risk-stratified approach," he says.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
Place the beef on a sheet pan and pat the outside dry with a paper towel. Spread the butter on with your hands. Sprinkle evenly with the salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for exactly 22 minutes for rare and 25 minutes for medium-rare.
Remove the beef from the oven, cover it tightly with aluminum foil, and allow it to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. Remove the strings and slice the fillet thickly.
Be sure your oven is very clean or the high temperature will cause it to smoke.

There are many myths about hair and hair care which most people believe to be true and keep following them without really finding the logic behind them. Some of these myths have been passed down by older generations to us while some of them are a result of modern day duping. The following are some of the most common hair care myths and the real facts associated with them.
Regular Trims can Help in Hair Growth
Almost everyone must have heard that regular trimming can actually result in better and faster hair growth but this is nothing but a myth. Trimming does help in maintaining hair quality but it cannot affect the way our hair grows. Afterall, hair grows from the roots and not from the ends which are actually cut during a hair trim.
Using the Same Shampoo for a Long Period of Time Lessens its Effect
This is another very common myth which many people tend to believe in. This myth has been spread around by so many people that it actually seems like the truth whereas in reality the real truth is far from this. There is no link between using a shampoo for a long time and reducing its effects.
Plucking Gray Hair may Lead to Growth of More
Well whoever started this myth must actually be hanged! Well there is no truth in the fact that plucking of gray hair can lead to the growth of more such gray hair. What really happens in this case is that plucking hair can irritate the follicle and due to this, unhealthy hair may result. Actually, one must keep away from plucking hair, gray or not.
Shampoo, Rinse-Repeat
Many people believe that if you shampoo, rinse your hair and repeat this process, then it can actually be better for your hair but this is nothing but just another common myth related to hair care. Shampooing your hair just once is good enough and over-shampooing can actually lead to hair damage. Not only shampooing once saves you from hair damage but also gives you another 5-10 minutes in your daily schedule.
Comb Hair from Top to Bottom
Many people think that combing hair from top to bottom is a good idea but this too is just a myth. On the contrary, combing hair from top to bottom can actually lead to a lot of breakage and may not prove all that great for you. It is better to start combing from the ends and then making your way up.
Sunlight is a Healthy Way to Lighten Hair
In the list of myths, another is that sunlight is a healthy way to lighten hair. Sunlight may do the lightening on its own but is not a method you must especially follow or inculcate in your regime. Constant exposure to sunlight can infact be harmful for hair and may make the scalp sensitive as well.

The Obama Admin wants to hector lion-killing dentist Walter Palmer but its FDA once argued it was perfectly legal to eat African lion.
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is apparently investigating Palmer for a safari trip he took to Zimbabwe. A White House petition calling for Palmer's extradition to Zimbabwe has nearly 198,000 signatures.
And yet Obama's Food and Drug Administration has OKed importing African lion meat into the U.S.
In Phoenix, AZ, a restauranteur served lion meat in honor of the World Cup held in South Africa in 2010.
The Associated Press's Michelle Price interviewed Michael Herndon, then spokesman for the FDA on June 26, 2010.
Serving African lion meat is perfectly legal, said Michael Herndon, a spokesman for the Food and Drug Administration.
Game meat such as lion can be sold as long as the species isn't endangered, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn't prohibited importation of African lion, although its Asiatic cousin is on the endangered list.
Perhaps the reason lions are endangered and cows are not is that they aren't on the menu?
The author of Obama's book, Dreams From My Father, lied about Obama potentially eating illegal tiger meat while he lived in Indonesia.
