Chapter 14 Summary
As if nothing had happened, Nathan, Sophie, and Stingo pick up right where they left off with their warm friendship. A few days later, Nathan presents Stingo with a check for two hundred dollars, and also lets Morris Fink off the hook for the robbery by pointing out to Stingo that the bathroom window had been forced opened, something Morris, with his keys, would not have had to do. Stingo's heart is warmed by Nathan's largesse, but will not accept the money until Nathan agrees to let him repay it when he becomes a published writer. Stingo is thrilled that Nathan is acting like his old self again, but his joy is nothing compared to Sophie's. Stingo is moved by her intense love and passion for Nathan, and believes Sophie would forgive Nathan anything. It is September now, and the gang of three...

Bayern's process to the Champions League final was a rollercoaster ride, beginning unexceptionally, later almost turning to disaster, and eventually ending in triumph. It's a long time since the record German title-holders have tortured the nerves of their fans so regularly and acutely. But it's also a long time since Bayern won over as many neutrals as they have done during this remarkable 2009-10 season.
It all began straightforwardly enough with a 3-0 win for Louis van Gaal's side in their opening Group A match against Israel's Maccabi Haifa, an easy win clinched by two goals from Thomas Müller and one from Daniel van Buyten. Bayern topped the group table and stayed there after a 0-0 draw with Juventus at the Allianz Arena. "I don't think we've seen a better game all season," said the coach afterwards, although he was concerned about missed opportunities: "We had many clear-cut chances – it's a shame we didn't take any of them."
Double trouble against Bordeaux
But in the space of two weeks, Bayern's solid start had been thrown into turmoil by back-to-back defeats at the hands of French champions Bordeaux. Munich were drawing 1-1 in Bordeaux when Müller received a second yellow card in the 30th minute, and they were reduced to nine men two minutes from the end when Van Buyten saw red as well. "That was not worthy of a top team," captain Mark van Bommel said of his team's listless display.
It was to get worse as, without the suspended Van Buyten and Müller, Bayern lost 2-0 to the same opponents two weeks later at the Allianz Arena. With just two group matches left Bayern were bottom of the table with four points, far behind Bordeaux with 10 and Juventus with eight. "We're not finished, we still have some kind of chance," Van Gaal said – but to progress his team also needed help from Bordeaux.
About-turn in Turin
Laurent Blanc's side did their bit, beating Juventus 2-0 while Bayern struggled to a 1-0 win at home against Haifa, thanks to a 62nd minute Ivica Olic strike. "You can see our team isn't displaying the confidence it ought to," noted president Uli Hoeneß. However, the result left Bayern's chances of reaching the knock-out rounds in their own hands in the final group game against Juventus in Turin.

Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Republican presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said President Barack Obama would take away everyone's guns, if he could.
Rubio said, "His proposal for everyone is to infringe on the Second Amendment. This was a terrorist attack in San Bernardino and he jumps and says we need gun control."
Stephanopoulos interjected, "But take away our guns?"
Rubio continued, "Well, if he could, he would. Obviously he knows he's constrained by the Second Amendment so what he tries to do is chip away at it every moment … let me tell you what he's trying to do, he's trying to keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens by continuing to put new restricts on gun rights."

Shenae Grimes is speaking out against the rumors that have been spread about her in the tabloids, particularly that she is thin because she has an eating disorder.
The 90210 star said the people spreading the rumors should ask her before believing what they read, according to People.
"Nobody has asked me about it," she said. "I really can't help what someone thinks of me because they are reading a paper and choosing to believe it."
The actress and her 90210 castmates were slammed for their thin frames almost instantly after the show's premiere, and rumors of eating disorders began swirling almost as quickly. Grimes, who denies having an eating disorder but says a close friend did struggle with one for years, compared the real-life scrutiny that has come with moving from Toronto to L.A. parallels the plight of her 90210 character.
"It was a huge culture shock," she said. "It's so frustrating. These are stories that have been written about everybody. Of course we're the new girls on a hit show, so we're plopped into these little boxes. And people buy it. It makes me totally second guess anything I've ever read about anybody."
Grimes claims she has been thin all her life and has never considered herself unhealthy.
"Meet me in person, and you can't say anything," she said. "Just because people are calling you skinny doesn't mean I'm like, 'Yay!' No! You're telling me I don't look right. This is me, this is my body — I have accepted it."

Driving future innovation - Red Bull Racing confirms Aston Martin as title partner from 2018
• Red Bull Racing extends Aston Martin to title and Innovation Partner from 2018
• The team will race from 2018 as Aston Martin Red Bull Racing
• New Advanced Performance Centre to open at the team's campus in Milton Keynes
• Advanced Performance Centre will aid in the two organisations adopting both F1 and road car technology
• Further products in the pipeline from the Innovation Partnership producing the Aston Martin Valkyrie
Eighteen months after launching an Innovation Partnership that led to the redefinition of automotive possibility with the game-changing Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar, Red Bull Racing is set to similarly redefine the Formula One grid with the announcement that the iconic sports car brand Aston Martin is to become its title partner from 2018 onwards, with the team competing as 'Aston Martin Red Bull Racing'.
The strengthened ties between the two brands is far more than a skin-deep exercise, with the expanded technical partnership taking concrete form in the shape of a new Advanced Performance Centre being established at Red Bull Racing's campus later this year. The new Centre will create 110 new jobs housing Aston Martin's design and engineering personnel responsible for future sports cars from the two companies. The new centre will allow a closer working relationship between the two leading brands in their respective fields which will see the adoption of both F1 and road car technology.
Christian Horner, Team Principal of Red Bull Racing said: "Our Innovation Partnership with Aston Martin has been a pioneering project from day one. Having conceived and created the remarkably successful Aston Martin Valkyrie together in 2016, we extended our relationship this year and are now delighted to further strengthen the partnership and see the team competing as Aston Martin Red Bull Racing in 2018. In addition, more than100 Aston Martin staff will service the new Advanced Performance Centre on our campus here in Milton Keynes and it will allow us to collaborate further with Aston Martin on special, equally innovative, new projects."
Aston Martin President and CEO, Andy Palmer, added: "Title partnership is the next logical step for our Innovation Partnership with Red Bull Racing. We are enjoying the global brand awareness that a revitalised Formula One provides. The power unit discussions (in Formula One) are of interest to us, but only if the circumstances are right. We are not about to enter an engine war with no restrictions in cost or dynamometer hours but we believe that if the FIA can create the right environment we would be interested in getting involved."
The relationship between Aston Martin and Red Bull began in 2016 after the two companies combined cutting edge F1 technology and Aston Martin's signature sports car design to produce a ground breaking hypercar. The Aston Martin Valkyrie is set to be the first in a line of new products to be borne of this Innovation Partnership and will make its first run in 2018 before being delivered to customers in 2019.
Aston Martin will feature prominently across the Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team from the start of the 2018 season.

Hi dear readers !
Yesterday's stamping challenge was to create a stamping manicure with a gradient. Well, in fact, the votes were very close and some girls decided to do the other challenge, or mix the 3 ideas together (gradient, two different stamps, wild animal print), but you know how I love gradients, so I obviously chosed to do one :)
I wanted soft, pastel shades and decided to go for purple. I found my inspiration on Pinterest with a similar manicure in blue, but I can't find it anymore and I don't know who didi it … If you are or know the author please let me know, I'd like to mention her work here :)
Do you like it ? I was very pleased with the way it looked. I was a bit afraid because my gradient looked nice and when I stamped over it I was like "oh nooo it's going to hide all the purple goodness" ! But finally I'm glad with the result :)
I used China Glaze Spontaneous as the base, darker purple. This has to be one of my all time favourite purples !
Then I started sponging with the medium purple, Eyeko Lilac Polish, followed by the lightest purple, OPI Rumple's Wiggin. I added a tiny bit of white on the tips with China Glaze Snow, still applied with a sponge.
I put a coat of Seche Vite to make a smooth surface and stamped with Bundle Monster plate BM201 and white Konad polish.
Finally, I wanted to add a "little something" with one coat of China Glaze Wireless which added a very subtle bling. And of course I topped all of these with one coat of Seche Vite :)
That's all ! That makes many coats but imo sponging always goes fast, as the coats added with the sponge are thin. I usually sponge on one hand, then the second, then back for the next coat on the first hand as the polish is already dry.
I hope you liked it :) Thanks for visiting and commenting ^^
Have a nice day :)

Industry support of CME declines 17%
For 2007, ACCME data showed commercial support increasing 1%. Sandwiched between 2008, when industry grants slid 14% to $1 billion, and a decade of sizable gains before it, 2007 proved to be the peak. The 2009 total also marks the first time since 2003 that industry funding dipped below $1 billion.The number of physicians and non-physicians participating in CME stayed fairly flat in 2009, rising just 1% and 3%, respectively. The steady attendance figures—10.7 million doctors and 6.8 million non-physicians—proved to be a lone bright spot.
Total income reported by accredited providers fell 7.6% to $2.2 billion, while total expenses also decreased 11.9% to $1.7 billion. Providers actually faced higher fees and administrative work last year as they incorporated new transparency and measurement policies. The lower expenses could partly reflect attrition among ACCME-accredited providers: there are now 707 vs. 725 in 2008.The number of certified CME activities and the number of hours of CME logged were also down in 2009, with activities declining 5.8% to 95,062 and hours plunging 10.4% to 689,768.
Industry grants, now accounting for 39% of total CME income vs. 56% in 2008, have taken a hit due to overall budget cuts by drug and device companies and the extreme scrutiny placed on industry-supported CME due to perceived bias.Those hardest hit by the decline in commercial support were professional associations, which saw total income fall nearly 25%, followed by MECCs, which experienced a 21% drop.

Customer Close-Up
Shane Clement began his career with Farmers in 2007 as a recruiter in Southern California. After seeing great success in developing insurance agencies into profitable small businesses, he was called up to play with the big boys. He packed up his family, and headed to Houston, Texas for the District Marketing Specialist position at Jeff Hasting's Agency – the third largest Property and Casualty insurer in the country.
Shane has developed over 100 systems over the years- different methods that he has used to help grow insurance agencies. When he finds something that works, he sticks with it. That's why he has stuck with Cole Information.
Over the years, Shane and the Jeff Hasting's Agency have come to appreciate the value of using both Cole Lists for commercial prospecting and Cole X-Dates for residential. Clement observes "There's great value in having such targeted marketing efforts using Cole X-Dates. It's much more effective than sending a blast, because you know over 90% of the time these people's policies are coming right up for renewal."
Clement and the Jeff Hasting's Agency have come up with a detailed, methodical, and money making process that works like a well oiled machine:
They send 2,000 mail pieces every Tuesday night. Mailers are sent out specifically on Tuesday nights so that prospects will receive them specifically on Saturday mornings. Why? Mail pieces received Monday mornings will get trashed. After all, there is a whole week to worry about. But Saturdays, people usually have more time, and are more likely to read what you send them. Clement adds "Most people don't realize that when you put your piece in the mail has such a big impact on return."
After the mail pieces are received on Saturday, the agency follows up with the prospects with a phone call the following Monday, and up to two more phone calls before giving up on a prospect. "The sales process is 3-6 months. Minimal. You can't shoot something out, and expect a miracle to come back to you that day. And you can't just test the waters for a month. It takes consistency."
Clement offers some more great advice for direct marketing, such as hand addressing the envelope, providing specific and useful information, and signing the piece by hand. "These things go a long way" he concludes.
Here at Cole Information, we've had the privilege of helping Clement and the Jeff Hasting's Agency grow their business. We would love having the same privilege with you.

Recent research from the Association of Investment Companies suggests that 78% of investors plan to make use of their ISA allowance this year. 40% plan to use only the shares element , representing a 1% rise since last year, while just over a quarter plan to use both their cash ISA and investment ISA allowance, again representing a 1% increase on the previous year. more
The clock is ticking until the annual ISA deadline on 5th April - so if you've not used your ISA allowance this year, now is definitely the time to start. more
A recent survey conducted by NS&I indicates that the demographic of ISA savers has undergone quite a few changes in recent years. A survey of over 1,200 UK adults revealed some interesting insights into the behavior of savers in the past few years. more
The latest research released by NS&I suggests that there has been an increase in the number of people who'll be making use of their annual ISA allowance. more
With the balance of risk v reward being a primary factor when making investment decisions, it is also the case that there are a number of ways of mitigating investment risk. We take a look at one particular method used within investment plans, known as collateralisation, in order to understand how it works and when it might be considered.
The concept of risk v reward should be commonplace with investors since the potential upside of what the investment could yield needs to be balanced with the potential downside of the investment and the risk to your capital. However, this is a broad concept and there are many different elements that make up risk, both in terms of market risk as well as the individual risks that different investors might see when looking at the same investment.
The range of investment plans available from Investec has been augmented in recent years to include collateralised versions of some of their plans. As one of the main providers of investment plans in the UK, it is useful to understand the impact collateralisation has on your potential returns so that we can see exactly what is being included within the investment and how this affects that important risk v reward.
One of the features of investment plans is that your capital is used to buy securities designed to achieve the stated returns of the investment. As such, the financial security of the issuer of those securities (often referred to as the counterparty) becomes an important consideration since if they are unable to fulfil their payment obligations, you may lose some or all of your investment.
Credit risk is a general term given to the possibility of a financial institution becoming unable to meet its financial obligations, for example, by becoming insolvent. When assessing any institution, though, it is important to remember that there are many elements which contribute to an overall credit risk and that these are never static.
To help, ratings agencies provide an insight into the credit rating of financial institutions, thereby allowing a comparison of the credit risk associated with different companies and investments. They do this by issuing credit ratings which are reviewed regularly and can go up or down at any point in response to changes in the financial position of the institution in question.
However, credit ratings are only one way to assess the likelihood that an institution will be able to pay back any monies owed. Although institutions with better credit ratings should be less likely to go bankrupt than institutions with worse credit ratings, this has not necessarily been the case over the last few years.
Fitch is one of three leading credit rating agencies and as at the time of writing, Investec Bank plc has a credit rating of BBB- with a negative outlook.
The 'BBB' rating denotes an adequate capacity for payment of financial commitments, although adverse business or economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity, with the '-' signifying it is at the lower end of this rating grade. The negative outlook indicates that the rating may be lowered in the short to medium term, i.e. in the next 6 months to 2 years.
Available across some of their best selling investments, collateralised plans have been designed for those who wish to mitigate the potential impact Investec's credit rating may have on the investment returns on offer. This is achieved by reducing the potential loss of your capital in the event that Investec fails or becomes insolvent, and to replace this risk with a risk spread across selected named institutions.
At the time of writing, these institutions are HSBC Bank plc, Nationwide Building Society, Santander UK plc, The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and Lloyds TSB Bank plc, which collectively have been titled the UK 5. The credit rating across all of the three main ratings agencies is as follows*:
On the start date of the investment, Investec purchases debt securities issued by the named institutions (and/or UK government debt). These debt securities are known as the 'collateral' and will have a value equal to the value of your investment.
The collateral will be deposited in an account with Deutsche Bank who act as an independent custodian. The collateral will be held for the benefit of the investors in the relevant plan in case of Investec failing or becoming insolvent. In either event the collateral will be used to protect your investment value at that time.
Therefore, throughout the plan term Investec monitors the value of the collateral on a daily basis to ensure that its value is equal to the value of the plan and will be required to post additional collateral in the event of any shortfalls.
The Collateral option or 'UK 5 Option' is currently available on three of Investec's investment plans. The additional cost involved in providing the collateral and thereby mitigating counterparty risk obviously has an impact on the overall returns on offer. The differences in the potential returns are as follows:
Ultimately, however remote the likelihood of bankruptcy might be, the risk will always exist and offering the investor the choice to mitigate this risk should they wish to do so is a welcome one. In this respect, mitigating risk can take many formats, one of which is to utilise collateral such as that offered by the UK 5 Option from Investec.
Combined with the returns on offer from investment plans being stated up front, the result is a wide range of investments which provide a defined return for a defined level of risk, ensuring the investor is fully informed about the balance of risk v reward prior to making that important decision.

No news, feature article or comment should be seen as a personal recommendation to invest. Prior to making any decision to invest, you should ensure that you are familiar with the risks associated with a particular investment. If you are at all unsure of the suitability of a particular investment, both in respect of its objectives and its risk profile, you should seek professional advice.
Some structured investment plans are not capital protected and there may be the risk of losing some or all of your initial investment. There is also a risk that the company backing the plan or any company associated with the plan may be unable to repay your initial investment and any returns stated, in which case you may not be entitled to compensation from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). In addition, you may not get back the full amount invested if the plan is not held for the full term. The past performance of the FTSE 100 Index is not a guide to its future performance.

The Bra Salesman Epiloguebybobrobertson©
Dave is looking at me incredulously, "You still haven't gone back to see her?"
Jesus, Dave, you have been on my fucking back for two whole weeks, will you please give it a fucking rest? "No, I haven't."
"Wow, you are impressive, man!" Dave slaps me on the back as though we are best buddies, which we are most assuredly not. "I don't think I could do that." He turns as though he's going to leave my cubicle, but I know he's not really going to do it. I know that because I desperately want him to leave and the stupid leech never does anything I want and certainly not when I want it.
"Well, that's where you and me are different." Dave had been pestering me about getting the four of us together for one big, huge orgy, which he says is to help Tasha and Brittney rekindle their friendship after Tasha cut Brittney out of her life but I know he just wants to fuck Tasha again. I finally had to admit to him that I wasn't seeing Tasha anymore. I told him my conscience had gotten the better of me and I didn't want to lie to her anymore so I ended it. Dave shook his head and said if he could spend the rest of his life fucking a piece of ass like hers, he'd lie his fucking balls off. He is such a monumental asshole, but the part that really stung, of course, is that that is exactly what I wanted to do for that very reason. But he's been giving me shit about it ever since.
"Well, I'm going to Brittney's again tonight to give her exactly what she wants," Dave says in the most macho-like voice his squeaky voice is capable of, which to me sounds like a five-year old imitating John Wayne. "Some Dave baby-batter!" He grabs his crotch and laughs like a maniac, waiting for me to laugh with him. But if he thinks I'm going to laugh at his ridiculous, arrogant dickishness, then he can go fuck himself.
Thing is, I only have myself to blame. Ever since I used Brittney's hypnotic codeword to make her attracted to Dave and his sick bondage, he has been thinking he's God's gift to women everywhere. Now he's this arrogant jackass who imagines his bald, hairy ass is attached to the most deliciously desired cock in the whole goddamn world. Yes world, that was me who did that, you are so very fucking welcome. One of these days I'm going to have to go over to Brittney's and reverse what I did.
But that would mean going over to Tasha's apartment building, and I have made a point to not go back there. I didn't want to accidentally run into her and trigger any memories for her.
I, however, have many fond memories of Tasha. I can remember the feel of her naked body pushing against mine, with the erect nipples of her massive breasts compressing into my chest, as our tongues explored each other's skin. I remember how she tasted when I had my face between her legs and was licking her delectably wet pussy, and the feeling of her muscular thighs pressing against the sides of my head as she arched her back and convulsed when my lapping made her orgasm. Her skin would get so slippery when she sweated after kneeling on top of me and hammering her groin on top of my hardened cock so hard that her hair and tits would flail in all directions and I would have to use my hands to clutch her nipples and dig my fingers into the soft flesh of her bosoms to subdue her chest down to jiggling ripples...
Shit, here's the boss wanting another data export. Got it. Yessir I'll get right on it. No, thank YOU.
As soon as he leaves, I decide I want to see Tasha again. So I surreptitiously open the video footage Dave downloaded to my computer where I can watch myself climbing on top of Tasha, with her lying down on her back spreading her legs wide as I slowly slide my stiff shaft into her drenching wet cunt. I can feel the damp spongy walls of her vagina clutching my cock as I watch myself moving in and out of her pussy. The way her tits shudder and tremble up and down as I pound my dick into her, and the sound of her breathless yelps of pleasure as her body jerks with orgasm...
No sir, boss. I didn't see you standing there. No, I haven't done it yet, but I'll have it in your hands by tomorrow. Goddamn it, I don't know he sneaks up on me like that. Yes sir, undoubtedly. Absolutely. Shit, I don't know if I closed the computer window in time, I hope he didn't see anything.
I pull up another video, this time she's handcuffed and I am fucking her from behind. The footage is grainy and her face is obscured with the blindfold and gag ball in her mouth, but I can tell by her high-pitched gasps that she is loving the way I am grabbing her hips and shoving my cock into her cunt. Her breasts are shaking, and the clamps attached to her erect nipples are rocking randomly as I continue pummeling her...
Jesus Christ, why is my boss back here AGAIN? Yes, yes I will get right on that as well, sir. Mmmm hmmm. No problem. I'd be worried about getting a pink slip except, one, he doesn't have a fucking clue how to do this job and two, he's probably somewhere jerking off to any video footage he did actually see.
Suddenly I realize it's after 5 o'clock, so I grab all my belongings and run out the door. Shit, tonight's the night and I didn't want to screw it up. I run several blocks down the street and into a tiny little bar on the corner called The Brew House. I scan the entire place while panting, thank my lucky stars, and take up a seat at the bar. There are less than a dozen people in the place, so there's plenty of room at the bar, just as I'd hoped. I order a dark and tan beer, pull out a book from my briefcase, and turn to the bookmarked page where I had left off.
Just as I do, she walks in. She is dressed in burgundy turtleneck with a peppered grey jacket and matching skirt that goes down to just below her knees. Her hair is pulled back and the frame of glasses she has on is not too thick. She is dressed professionally revealing no skin above her shins, but no professional suit can hide her magnificent curves and beautiful breasts. I crane my head to look at this gorgeous woman, and I can tell that most every male in the place is doing the same thing and the look on our collective faces makes me think we are all probably having simultaneous fantasies of her as the sexiest librarian or teacher ever to pick up a dictionary. She peers over her glasses and for a moment, I feel like I can't breathe as I sneak a peek into Tasha's eyes. Without noticing me, she sits at the bar three seats away from me. She asks the bartender if the Malbec is from Mendoza, and when he says no, she orders a glass of chilled Sauvignon Blanc instead.
After a few minutes, I clear my throat and say, "Hi, my name is John." She looks at me indifferently, and I can tell that she's used to having men approach her wherever she goes and she is beyond tired of it.
But she politely smiles at me and says, "Tasha." As she sips her wine again, she notices my book. "You're reading The Brothers Karamazov?"
"Yeah, sometimes I'm in the mood for something a little Dosteovsky-ish, y'know?" I said holding the book up for her to see. I look at her for any change in her expression, but she nodded approvingly. So I guess her hypnotic codeword is gone for good, just as I'd hoped. "And this is one of those books I always wanted to read and never did."
She nodded again, "Well, it certainly is a classic. The Grand Inquisitor is one of my favorite chapters in all of literature." I nod at her, but I'm not following, which apparently she sees. "'Without God all is permissible?'" Good Lord, she can quote parts of the book from memory? I knew she was smarter than the naïve simpleton she was a couple weeks ago, but a woman who can literally quote Dostoevsky off the top of her head may be out of my league. Of course, someone who can quote a Garfield cartoon from memory is probably out of my league as well.
I sheepishly smile, "I'm only about 20 pages into it," which is true. It's also true it's taken me a week and a half to make it that far, but I didn't mention that part.
She nodded, "Well, I'm sure you'll find it gratifying." And she turned back to her wine. This is the part where in the past I would really lay on the charm, talk to her about how gorgeous she is, and how interested I was in her. And by that, I mean how interested I was in getting her into bed.
This time, though, I thought I'd take less of a can-I-get-in-your-pants approach and try a more talking-to-her-like-a-civilized-human-being approach. "So have you been here before? I mean, this bar?" Shit, why don't I just give her the cliché come-here-often line, asswipe? She gives me a look as though she's ready to roll her eyes at yet another come on line by yet another male asshole at yet another bar.
But I guess she decided my line was harmless enough. "No, I've never really noticed this place before. I just... wanted to come here this evening for some reason." She stared at her glass of wine as if searching for the answer, but it's one I already knew. When I took away Tasha's hypnosis two weeks ago and restored her back to herself, there were two other commands I whispered to her. The first was to have her come to this bar at this time on this day. I wanted to give her a couple of weeks to herself, but I just couldn't bear going through the rest of my life without at least trying one more time to get to know her. And I mean know HER her, not the hypnotically-induced, gullible, sex-crazed, bondage-fetish woman I knew. Although truth be known, I am REALLY going to miss that Tasha.
Ok, this conversation isn't taking off very well. Might as well go for it. I take a swallow of my beer and summon up the nerve to say, "Look, I'm sure you get asked out all the time and I'm sorry if I'm intruding, but I was hoping maybe you'd like to go grab a bite to eat somewhere."
She gave me a once-over and her expression had all the earmarks of a no-way-in-hell response, to which I am way too used to seeing and I know I actually deserve. Even so, my heart sank when her face unconsciously sneered at me. But then she looked me over yet again and said, "Do I know you?"
Oh shit, I hope her memory isn't returning. "I don't think so," and I take a few more sips of beer. And by that I mean I just about down the whole glass.
She's still scrutinizing me, "Because something about you seems very familiar." Shit, this was a bad fucking idea. I thought two weeks would be enough time to forget me, my face, and everything else. What the hell was I thinking? Ok, don't panic, just act natural. Say something witty and clever.
I smile and say, "Maybe we were just meant to be." THAT's witty and clever? Are you fucking kidding me? The instant the words escaped my lips, I regretted them. God, what a stupid-ass thing to say. She turned back towards her wine. Fuck, she is totally losing interest. Quick, think of some good bullshit you can use to... no, don't. Tell her the truth. "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at starting conversations with new people. I'm a little nervous. But you seem like a nice person and I would like to take you out."
She looked at me again with a softer, more understanding expression and then laughed at herself, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude. I just haven't felt like myself for a while, so I'm somewhat... I don't know, skittish or something."
God, I haven't heard the sound of her laughter in weeks, and I had to restrain myself from falling apart right then and there. "I guess I'm not the only guy who's hit on you in a bar."
"No. I mean, yes other guys have hit on me, but it's not you. I'm just..." She looked back at the moving light and dark patterns in her wine. Then she stared right at me, "It's like I've woken up from a really bizarre dream and I don't... I don't trust anything right now. Especially myself. I know I've been busy doing things, but I can't... quite... I'm sorry, I don't mean to come across like an institutionalized mental case." She put the glass of wine to those perfect, luscious lips of hers and took a sip.
I looked at her reassuringly. "No, it makes perfect sense."
She jerked her head back towards me incredulously, "Really?"
"Ok, no it doesn't," which made her laugh again. Shit, that laugh is like a buzzsaw to my heart because I have missed it so much. "But I'd like to hear more about it."
"Look, I..." I can tell, she's going to shoot me down. Something in her body language suggested that all her insecurities and mistrustfulness of reality were weighing her down, and the last thing she needed was going out with some stranger she met at a bar. And after all the shit she's been put through by me and Brittney and every other asshole who took advantage of her, I don't blame her one bit for feeling that way.
But just as she opens her mouth to speak, she looks at me again as if she were trying to stare completely at, around, and through me. Her eyes penetrate my entire self as if she were on the cusp of remembering something. I would like to think that somewhere buried in the depths of her brain is a memory of some feeling for me that knows that for all my flaws I did eventually do the right thing, that out of everyone who manipulated and used her I was the one who actually loved her. That's what I want to believe as I saw one corner of her mouth curve into a smirk, "I suppose someone with a predilection to read Dostoevsky can't be all bad." I smile, not having any fucking clue what predilection means, but I assume it's good. She gives me another hard stare, and I swear my hormonal glands melt into liquefied... whatever hormonal glands are made of whenever she looks at me. She asks one more time, "Are you sure we haven't met before?"
I respond with a less-than-truthful, "I think I would remember you." She smiled warmly at the gentle compliment, but I swore to myself I would do my damndest to make that the last lie I ever told her.
And that is how I managed to start over with Tasha. I have no idea what she's really like or what's going to happen next. But at least this time I'll get a chance to know the real her. And I'm hoping that maybe I'll be the real me with her. Not the old me that didn't give a shit about anyone but himself, but be that person who had once looked into the eyes of another human being and felt a humbling, amazing love for someone else.
But let's face it, we all know that I'm going to be a selfish asshole prick at some point or another. It's going to happen, I know it, you know it, my mailman's first cousin knows it, we all know it. And when that happens, that's where the second command I implanted in her comes in. And because there is no doubt in anyone's mind that sooner or later I am going to royally fuck up, that's why I placed a new hypnotic command codeword in her. No, I'm not going to change her personality like Brittney did, I just need a safety net to get past those inevitable moments where I'm a complete brain-damaged imbecile. And let me tell you, I don't want to brag about how incredibly brilliant I am, but I have picked the perfect codeword. It's a codeword that no one, and I mean NO one, will ever guess or accidentally stumble into. You want to know what it is?
Yeah, fuck you, I'm not telling you shit. Go find your own perfect woman of your dreams. I think I've found mine.
The End
And that truly, honestly is the end for this story. I hope you all liked it, and thank you to everyone who commented and rated on these chapters. I've been working on another long story, but I'll probably end up breaking it into two parts. It won't be a humor story, so it'll be over in the Nonconsent/Reluctance section, called "Guess," and I'll probably finish that up in the next month or two. I've also been outlining a 10-part SciFi story, but I'll give more details later as they become available. Thanks again!

The theme of this week is "Instruments & Design"
My experience with soundports: Sound portals are a bit strange at first because you'll hear a whole new range of overtones, not to mention a huge volume increase while you play. However, I find it a bit odd because who ever hears a guitar that close? It's like putting your ear right next to the sound hole. Nevertheless, when I owned my Stephen Connor guitar that had a portal I loved it for chamber music so the other musicians such as pianist's could hear me. Since the portal projects sound in a direction other than straight toward the audience, everyone on stage could hear me. However, this often made me feel as if I was playing way too loud all the time. Some observers in audiences have commented on increased volume when I opened the portal but I suspect this aspect is minimal at best. Maybe sound waves bounce around the room a bit more in different directions.
Maybe the best reason to have a sound portal is that it gives you a confidence boost. It might deceive you too, making you think you are playing loud when in fact you are not. However, it sure can be nice if you're practicing in a dead sounding room.
Recommended: If you decide to get a soundport I recommend getting one with a magnetic cover so you can choose whether it remains open or closed. See the picture of Dominelli's cover.
Please note: The quotes below are brief and therefore often a bit out of context so follow the source link and read what the luthier or player has to say.
Stephen Connor (luthier) on Sound Portals:
The sound portal is something that I have been experimenting with for years, the prototype developed in the 90's. It consists of an elliptical opening in the side of the guitar facing the player which increases the volume of the instrument to both the player and the audience by reducing the cancellation of sound waves making the instrument more efficient. It can be closed, partially or fully, with a door that is held on using magnets. Closing the portal can be advantageous during duets with a quieter instrument. The bracing patterns developed in tandem with the portal feature interlocking braces of the highest quality-bracing stock. This system creates a guitar that is exciting to play, extremely RESPONSIVE, with amazing volume and all the tonal colors found in the finest traditional guitars-perhaps even more…. from Connor Guitars

Fritz Mueller (luthier) on soundports:
Acoustic ports function something like the soundhole in that they work in partnership with the inner air resonances of the instrument to release sound from the instrument. But the sound that comes from the port is primarily (if not entirely) for the player's benefit, allowing the player to hear the sound of the guitar more completely. In modern, highly projecting guitars, this is particularly beneficial.
Acoustic ports on the sides near the neck have little or no effect on the sound that the audience hears at the front of the guitar. This is perhaps surprising and somewhat counterintuitive, as most people (myself included) initially think that there would be a loss of sound. This is easy to test, however, by covering and uncovering the acoustic port while playing. via Fritz Mueller's website

Marcus Dominelli on Soundports
Soundports help the player hear the guitar, obviously. This can be useful in ensemble situations, on stage, or if the player simply wants to hear more of the guitar.
Good concert guitars are built to project the sound outward, and sometimes this can compromise the "near field" sound. Soundports can help compensate for any near field weakness. Guitars made with really thin sides, like those built on a Torres design, do not really need a soundport, because the sides are so thin that they already resonate quite a lot of sound toward the player. Guitars with thicker solid sides, laminated sides, or that have a laminated back, will sound better to the player with a soundport.
I decided to make my soundports available with a magnetically fitting cover, so that the player can fine tune the amount of sound coming out. Fully open, ports can sometimes be too loud or distracting to the player, so it's nice to be able to fine tune the sound by sliding it to the desired openning. This photo shows the port half covered. via Dominelli Guitars

In perspective:
Peter Oberg (luthier):
In the last ten years I've built at least 60 guitars with sound ports in them, which clearly suggests that I believe in them. There is no empirical evidence that ports in the sides bleed sound away from the soundhole. You have to remember that there is also sound coming off of the top, not just out of the soundhole. My personal instruments will always have ports-I can't imagine not having them. It's kind of like high speed internet in that way. via Peter Oberg via Delcamp
Alan Carruth (luthier):
The overall result was that opening a port seemed, in my tests, to give perhaps a 1-2% increase overall in power. This is not much: it takes a near doubling of power for a sound to seem twice as loud if the spectrum remains unchanged. Interestingly enough, the amount of the volume change did not seem to vary much with increasing port size. Apparently the broad band decrease tends to balance out any narrow band increases.
Since our ears are set up to detect changes (things that don't change, like rocks, won't eat you, and you can't eat them, so why bother?) people in listening tests will often react very strongly to the opening of a port. The immediate impression is that the guitar is much louder. However, once they get used to the change, people are not so sure. We're going to do some more testing on that one soon, I hope. via Alan Carruth on Delcamp [follow this link for a pretty big comment by Alan with lots of info…]
Have you read this?
I found this abstract and citation via liutaiomottola.com, if anyone has read the article leave a comment below.
A blind listening evaluation of classical guitar soundports was performed to ascertain whether players could hear the difference between an instrument with an open port and the same instrument with a closed port, all in a context that is representative of a player's instrument selection decision. The study was conducted to comply with the specifications detailed in standard ASTM E 2139-05, Standard Test Method for Same-Different Test from ASTM International (formerly called the American Society for Testing and Materials). Twenty four guitar player subjects were recruited to play a single guitar twice while blindfolded. In each of these two trials the open/closed port configuration of the guitar was selected at random. After playing the instrument in each port configuration the subject was asked to indicate whether there was or was not a difference heard between the two configurations. Results of this experiment indicate that the port open and port closed states are not perceivably different.

Mandatory Condoms for Adult Videos Stars?
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation is on a mission to force the Adult Videos industry to make actors wear condoms with a new bill it wants residents to vote on in Los Angeles.
Because LA is the Adult Videos industry hub, AHF has been gathering signatures from residents to get legislation on a voting ballot that would "formally condition the issuance of adult film permits by the City of Los Angeles to condom use in adult films shot and produced in Los Angeles, including collection of a fee from adult film permit recipients to allow for periodic inspections of sets in order to monitor for compliance," according to a statement. So far 64,000 signatures have been gathered, ahead of the organization's Dec. 23 deadline.
Mark McGrath, a health consultant working with AHF, said 3,400 cases of chlamydia and gonorrhea infections have been documented in the Adult Videos industry between 2004 and 2008 by the L.A. County Department of Health, and in August an unnamed Adult Videos star tested positive for HIV. Still, the industry has responded with a warning that business could move out of LA or go underground if stars have to wear condoms. It also mantains that the public would not support prophylactic-only Adult Videos.
What's your take on this? Should Adult Videos stars be forced to wear condoms for their own sexual safety? Do you prefer condom-less Adult Videos flicks?

SCRATCH Automates 2D and 3D VFX Dailies for ThorSCRATCH Offers Real-Time Play Back of Any Media in the Same Timeline (May 26, 2011)
ASSIMILATE (www.assimilateinc.com), the leading provider of powerful post-production tools for digital workflows, today revealed details of how its SCRATCH(r) end-to-end digital cinema and broadcast imaging tools were used to streamline and automate the 2D and 3D stereo VFX dailies review processes during the post production of Marvel Entertainment / Paramount Pictures' blockbuster motion picture Thor.
SCRATCH was selected for Thor because of its superior capabilities over other systems, including easy integration with database management software, and the real-time playback of media in different resolutions and formats in the same timeline.
The deployment of SCRATCH for Thor was overseen by Danielle Costa, production manager for VFX, whose previous credits as digital production manager and VFX coordinator include 2012, Speed Racer, Spider Man 3, Alexander, The Matrix Revolutions, The Matrix Reloaded and Scooby Doo. For Thor, her role involved developing a workflow and pipeline between the production team and many different outside contributors, including VFX vendors BUF, Digital Domain, Whiskytree, Evil Eye Pictures, Fuel Visual Effects, Luma Pictures; the DI house EFilm; and Stereo D, which handled the 2D-to-3D conversion.

SCRATCH was integrated with a FileMakerPro database to assemble each day's playlists of all the media connected with a particular shot. This enabled the VFX team, lead by supervisor Wesley Sewell, to constantly ingest and review shots-in-progress every day. Sewell then prepared daily afternoon shot reviews for key production staff, including director Kenneth Branagh and cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos BSC, as well as studio executives from Marvel and Paramount.
Overnight, the various VFX vendors typically sent Costa's team between 3,000 and 5,000 files - mostly image sequences. An individual playlist for one shot could reference upward of 1,000 different media clips in whatever format might be associated with that shot, such as EXR, DPX, QT and JPEG. Toward the end of post-production, between 200 and 300 shots per day, along with all the associated files, were reviewed in SCRATCH, amounting to many thousands of image clips.
Moreover, Thor was shot anamorphically, so SCRATCH was automated to playback VFX shots in the correct aspect ratio, selectively applying LUTs to DPX frames while ignoring clips such as linear QT and JPEG files. SCRATCH also automatically applied the correct frame-offsets, so that scanned VFX plates and on-going comps would line up accurately.
Thor was post-converted from 2D to 3D by LA-based facility Stereo D, and SCRATCH was the production's sole way of reviewing stereo internally at Marvel. Playlist stacks for left and right eyes were created automatically, which could then be played back in dual mode for stereo review.
Lastly, SCRATCH was also used to ingest, playback and prepare RED R3D footage, shot using RED MX cameras, for a teaser of the upcoming Marvel feature The Avengers that will appear after the credits of Thor.
"What's really appealing about SCRATCH is that you get a product out-of-the-box that is super-simple to integrate with an existing database," says Costa. "And the best thing about SCRATCH is that it can play back, in real-time, any media that you throw at it - all on the same timeline - such as RED RAW footage, DPX, EXR files, QTs and JPEGs. I'm looking forward to the arrival of SCRATCH Lab(tm), which will enable us to work with ARRI RAW files as well."
Costa adds, "SCRATCH solved our greatest challenge on Thor: bringing different media together and being able to show them in the best possible quality. When you're doing this as a VFX production department, you don't have the same I/O and engineering resources as many independent facilities do. The coding that SCRATCH required for ingest and automation was very straightforward, and did away with the need to spend time designing and developing the playback/review resource that other software packages require."
According to BoxOfficeMojo.com, Thor had taken in nearly $352million at the box office worldwide as of May 16, 2011.

Discover how and why blog rolls can be used for so much more than just a list of blogs!
The Blog List or Blog Roll is a very straighforward little gadget that can add lots of interest to your blog. It uses an RSS feed and automatically updates when the blogs you have included have new posts added, but there is a lot more to this basic gadget than you think...
Why do I need a Blog list?
Here's is some advice on why having a bloglist in your sidebar is a good idea and how you should use your blog roll as a way of networking with other bloggers and readers of your site -
Who are you?
People often read craft blogs because they enjoy finding out a little bit more about the artist behind the craft and they also want to feel part of a craft community. Sharing not just your own thoughts and experiences but a those of a list of bloggers that you love to read is a great way of letting people know a bit more about you and your interests in a creative and interactive way.
Think of your blog roll in the same way as the books that you display in your home. Be selective, you wouldn't want the phone directory to take pride of place on your book shelf, but the copy of Black beauty you have had 30 years and read 6 times might even get it's own shelf! Your blog roll needen't be every blog you are following - it is a tribute to those you love to read best and that reflect your own peronality and taste.
Blog Rolls encourage reciprical blog traffic
Not every blogger will look up their followers blogs, especially if they have alot of followers, so if you add someone to your sidebar blogroll, why not leave them a comment and let them know. They are very likely to say, wow thank you and become a blog follower and maybe even let their own network of friends and followers know about your blog. You already know you have the same interests so these sort of connections can really help to build your network and encourage traffic.
Blog Rolls don't have to be just for blogs!
A blog roll is a list of web feeds (RSS, Atom etc) - the gadget on Blogger is called a Blog List but it can be used for any website feed and as such you can create fabulous flickr updates from all the groups you belong to - take a look at the CBuk right sidebar to see this in action. Here are a few other ideas for feeds that work with a blog roll -
- Flickr, Picassa, photobucket all have RSS feeds - display the most recent image from your own sets or photostream or a groups pool - label it with 'Brand New From ..." or "My latest Make", let it be a feature that people enjoy and can quickly link them to your groups or to your other photos
- Facebook, My Space etc - groups, pages, personal pages they all have feeds
- Nings and Forums - I'm a member of UK Handmade, British Mummy bloggers etc - all of these sites contain various feeds with all of your social networking activity
- See this post for a list of links - all of which will have feeds you can add.
Here is a screen shot from my personal blog where I think this gadget works really nicely, (click here to see it) I've chosen just 3 of the social networks I am active in to display on mine but there is no limit to how many you could have. Some applications have better feeds than others in terms of what gets displayed but it is worth experimenting as some providers already have superior gadgets available which may suit you better.
Tutorial - How to Add and Customise your Blog Roll in Blogger
There are a few options to choose from but in essence this is a very straighforward gadget.
- In your Blogger dashboard click on layout.
- Choose the location of your Blog roll and click on 'add gadget' for that area.
- Choose this widget - Blog List "Show off what you read with a blogroll of your favourite blogs. " It's on the first page of gadgets, called basics
- Customise your Blog Roll
- Title - Many people have something along the lines of "Great Online Reading" or "Recommended reading" something a little more inventive than the default, "My Blog List".
- Sort - Unless you have a very long list of blogs that benefit from alphatisation because you are using them as a directory, I would always advise choosing most recent.
- Show - You have the choice of showing all of the blogs you have listed, 5, 10 or 25.It will show the most recently updated.
- Icon - I would usually untick this, just shows a blogger 'b' or other blog platform icon, which is not very interesting unless you are following other feeds when it is more relevant.
- Title of most recent item - shows the title of the most recent post
- Snippet of most recent item - shows a little text from the first lines of the blog post.
- Thumbnail - shows an image if available - it's always the first image used in the post.
- Date of last Update - tells you how many hours or days ago it was posted
- Click on "Add a Blog to your list
- Add by URL - copy and paste in a url or web address e.g. http://haptreeandme.blogspot.com or the address of a feed, such as http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/groups_pool.gne?id=1313315@N20&lang=en-us&format=rss_200 and then click 'Add'
- Blogs I'm following - this brings up a list of all of the blogs you are following you can then check a box against each to choose whether or not to have it on your list.
- Import from Google Reader - as above you can edit which blogs appear via checkboxes if you use google reader. This is also good for having a blog list of 'feeds' you are already following and is quicker than copying and pasting. Also you can manage groups of feeds into files in google reader and then easily select an entire file.
- Now Save - and drag to the desired location within your dashboard. The choices you make above should be guided by the space you have and also how many blogs /feeds you intend to have showing.
Personally I think that having an enormous list of names with no detail is a waste of space in your blog sidebar - you could add a static page if you just want a list - why not let people see an image and read a little of the blog posts you have recommended - if they click to view the post it will open in a new page so they can still easily come back to your blog.
There are no limits to the number of times you can use the blog roll gadget. You could have a seperate blog roll for different areas of your interest, for example one with just cupcake blogs or parental advice blogs - as well as having a network of your favourite craft blogs listed and a 'blog roll' of all of your social networking feeds and favourite flickr images.
I would love to hear your feedback via the comments box below - I have recently installed the comment system 'Disqus' and after I have trialed it for a few days to check for any major hiccups I will be posting about how and why you might want to install this yourself - it looks like an awesome system for encouraging discussion within your blog posts, what do you think?

Love is an illusion
In the spirit of Valentine's Day I decided to compose a piece that centers around the meaning of this beloved (pun) holiday. Currently I'm in to grainy photography and rehashed retro imagery combined with modernized type treatments.

RCKTWN Posters
Here are two posters I designed for the Nashville skatepark/music venue Rocketown. My favorite part is the type illustration I did for Folk the World.

Vomit Booklet
This booklet was designed as a self-promotional piece to give future employers a little taste as to my feelings on design and life. I decided on the title 'Vomit' because I felt like taking a raw and real approach by laying out my feelings and combining them with symbolic collages that express the same rawness. Just as vomit is uncontrollable so are our feelings and preconceptions. The only way we can change is to be honest with ourselves and let these emotions come out.

Momentum Press Booklet
This school project was an introduction to the workings of the offset lithography process. I designed an informational booklet for Momentum Press, a print company, to hand out to interested patrons in order to explain how the printing process happens. As a centerfold I included an innovative flip-out system with additional information about the printing press illustration.

IQ Packaging
As apart of a school project I created a series of software packages for the company IQ: Brainy Toys for Brainy Kids. My target audience was boys anywhere from 10-14, and age group that often has conflicting interests especially with educational software. My aim was to design the packages with an older audience in mind because I believe kids want to be into what older kids are into. The three packages deal with geography, robotics and space travel. What kid doesn't like those things?

The Woods
The Woods Breakfast Cafe only serves the best breakfast foods, which happens to be my favorite type of food and the reason I chose to develop this concept. I opted for a simple color palette and layout given the relaxing tone that accompanies breakfast time. This was one of my most delicious school projects.

Arizona-Sonora Hall houses 496 residents on nine floors and the building is divided into two towers connected by the first floor lobby. The southwest-situated hall is conveniently located near the Park Student Union, Centennial Hall, University Boulevard and just a short walk to classroom buildings. A popular gathering area is a large, open recreation area located on the main floor, and includes compact kitchen, eating area, pool table, TVs, couches and a small fitness area. Each floor also has a study lounge. AZSO residents are often seen enjoying volleyball games just outside the front entrance on the sandy area.
Rooms in the Arizona Tower of "AZSO" are triple occupancy, and rooms in the Sonora Tower are double occupancy. (The rooms were originally designed to house four students.) Since the rent for triples is significantly lower than most other halls, you must indicate a "triple room" at Arizona-Sonora on your hall preferences when applying. All rooms are single-gender by floors.

External Hard Drive Problem
My fiancee has an external hard drive from Fabrik, a SimpleDrive. Its a TB in size. He's using it on his Windows XP. However, yesterday it stopped working. Sortve. It works in that the light comes on when its plugged in and powered up, and it shows up in the device manager, but he cannot access it in My Computer.
I took it to see if I could get it to work on my computer. The same issue happens. It installed fine. Light comes on. Its in the Device Manager where it says its recognized and running properly, and also shows up in Devices and Printers, but it doesnt show up in My Computer.
Uninstalling and reinstalling from the Device Manager doesnt do anything.
After much googling, I found my way to the Disk Management. The disk is there in the bottom half, but its labeled as Disk 1 - unknown - not initialized.
Right clicking and clicking on Initialize Disk brings up a window with the options of a Master Boot Record or GUID Partition Table. Neither do anything. When I hit okay, all I get is "Incorrect Function".
The only info that google searchs tell me is to right click and change Drive Letter and Path. I cant do that.
I cannot find anything else via google, so I came here in hopes that someone could help. He has a LOT of important info on this drive so I cant just reformat it.
And yes, I contacted the company, but it may take until Tuesday before I hear anything from them.
Any suggestions, or should we just wait till the company gets back to us?

It looks like the MFT (Master File Table) on your disk was damaged. The Test Disk program may be able to fix it from the mirror. Read the first link to get an understanding and then look at the second link for the program.
|My System Specs
|16 May 2010
I wont lose any data on the disk if I do this, right? Just wanna make sure...
|My System Specs
|16 May 2010
In principle you should not lose data. But that is in principle. Who knows what mistakes you are going to make. But what else are your options?
|My System Specs
|16 May 2010
Yeah, good point. Kinda hard to make a mistake if I follow the instructions - which is what I plan to do and why I asked. Okay. I'll post again if it works or not. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
EDIT: Okay, I dont know what I'm doing. I tried to follow the instructions as they're listed on the wiki page. They dont match the version I had to end up getting. The second link leads to a page for downloading, but the windows download wont unzip, its corrupted. Tried downloading it from another location, same issue. I had to google for it and found version 6.10.
And the external drive does not show up in the program. There is only 2 options. I checked to make sure. Ran the program while the drive is plugged in and while it wasnt. No change.
So I'm guessing we're up the creek with out a paddle?

The drive may be fine inside of the enclosure and the enclosure could be bad.
If the drive is still under warranty, you could send it in for a replacement but you lose your data.
If the data is worth more than voiding the warranty, then open it up and remove the drive and put it into your computer, or into another USB enclosure and see if the drive works.
I've had a couple of enclosures go bad and the drive inside was still functional.
Where are his backup files? You aren't supposed to have a LOT of important files on just 1 drive.

Hi ACWN,
In windows Explorer you said that the disk can't be accessed; but can you see it there (in my computer)? and importantly does it have a drive letter attached to it?
If so you it may be possible to run a check disk on it. If so right click on it, go to properties / tools menu / Check now.
If not, there are a few approaches, I will list all I can think of:
1. Try to get it to read:
- Unplug the drive and reboot the PC
- Turn on the drive power to spin up the drive
- Listen to the drive, you'll hear it start, when it the sound peaks and it appears to be spinning at its fastest, plug in the USB cable.
- This is particularly useful if the drive or the more usually the hardware that attaches it to the usb port is a little faulty and slow to read to the drive. While it's still booting up windows finds the usb but can't read the drive and times out. This way the drive is already spinning at full speed and it can be read by the hardware (it's case) almost immediately.
2. If this fails
- Repeat the steps in different USB ports on your computer to rule out the port or the USB controller as an issue.
- Repeat the steps on another computer.
- Try to swap the USB cable
3. If it still this fails
- Consider sourcing a recovery program that can read RAW disks, this way you can recover your data regardless of a broken MBR or corrupt partition tables. There's many free ones about which I always go for first.
- Download free partitioning software such as partition wizard to run a checkdisk on an uninitialized disk or a disk without a recognized partition structure
If at any stage you are able to read your disk, back everything up asap (i guess you know that though)
If you begin to play with partitioning software or disk manager in windows,it may be an idea to recover the data first with the recovery software so that the partition or MBR is not further damaged.
I wish you luck and if you would like any further clarification on terms or anything, please ask, we are here to help.

yeah.. if the disk is visible. maybe you can try chkdsk (dive letter): /f

Krispy - looking for helpful advice here, thank you.
Zepher - Yeah, I know you shouldnt. He usually burns things to CDs and what not, but the problem is is that we're broke and pretty well out of CDs. Its better than him keeping it on the laptop which would have fried it a lot sooner. But thanks, if the company doesnt have any options for us, we'll try replacing the housing.
Tim - Thanks... but no. I said the disk ISNT visible in My Computer. Computer installs it, reads it and it shows up in the Device Manager, but its not fully connecting to the computer because when we attempt to access it in the Disk Manager, it will not initialize - it says its an incorrect function. On his computer, it doesnt even show up in the Disk Manager and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting from the Device Manager.
However, I'll take a look into the recovery program. Thanks.
Oh, what recovery program do you recommend. You suggested it, but didnt recommend one. Thanks

Equipment Sales only at Sand Point
We offer a wide variety of parts, accessories and mechanical updates at our Sand Point location only. West Seattle is only bike fitting and Indoor – Outdoor classes. Our Sand Point shop is repair and bike fitting only, no bicycles sold from that location, although we do special order and do many high quality upgrades to any bike.
Full-Service Repair
We offer full repair services only at Sand Point Cycle U.
Bike Fitting
A proper bike fit by a knowledgeable, experienced professional is an essential component to healthy, optimized cycling long term. In addition to increasing performance, bike fits can either prevent or remedy overuse injuries, or correct for morphological discrepancies. Like the rest of Cycle U's programs, our bike fits focus on empathy, experience, and precision.
"Hi Craig,
I'm writing to share my experiences w/one of your employees.
2 weeks ago, nearing the end of my ride, my cassette started rattling. I wheeled into your shop at about 5:40pm and asked if there was a mechanic on duty. Ryan indicated that he could help me and quickly had my bike on the work stand. Instead of merely re-tightening my cassette, and conducted a thorough diagnostic and determined that my spacer was the incorrect size. By now, it was after 6:00pm – closing time – but Ryan continued his assessment of my cassette. What's more, he located the correct size spacer, installed same, and re-assembled the rear wheel cluster/adjusted the shifting. What I thought would take a few minutes became more involved, thus requiring Ryan to remain in the shop after business hours…which he did.
My experiences w Cycle U made a lasting impression on me and ensures that I will be a regular customer of Cycle U henceforth (more importantly, I will encourage my fellow cyclists to visit your shop).
Hello Craig,
In June, I crashed on my way to work and my bike was barely working. I stopped into your Sand Point shop and Ryan stopped working on a complex disc brake repair and immediatly helped me figure out what was wrong with my bike and get me back on the road.
I can't thank you enough! I will highly recommend Cycle U to all my friends, family and co-workers.
Thank you!
Hello Craig,
We talked briefly in July when I was visiting your WS location and shopping for a bike.
I praised your staff for the remarkable service and I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the knowledge and experience you have in your people.
Everyone was proactively offering help, all "present" and authentically so, all knowledgeable (or sought someone else who was), all endeavored to find out just what fit my needs and interests rather than sell me a product. Great experience all around.
