Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor
Thinking about upgrading to Windows 7? If your PC is running Windows XP SP 2 or later or any version of Vista, you might want first download and try the (currently beta version) Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. When you run it, it scans your system for a few minutes and then prepares a report about the machine's suitability to upgrade.
- slide 3 of 14
After running the program on my Windows Vista Ultimate machine, the Advisor told me that I could do an "in-place upgrade to 32-bit Windows 7 Ultimate." It also advised that Windows Mail, Parental Control, and Ultimate Extras were not included in Windows 7. No hardware devices were flagged for incompatibility.
- slide 4 of 14
32-bit vs 64-bit
Many computer users have run 32-bit versions of Windows, perhaps for a few years now, on 64-bit-capable hardware. Microsoft has said that both versions - 32 and 64-bit - will be provided on new DVDs. However, there is not a direct in-line upgrade from any 32-bit version of Windows, including Windows XP and Vista, to a 64-bit version of Windows 7. In other words, switching from a 32-bit previous version of Windows to Windows 7 64-bit version requires backing up your data and settings, as much a possible, and reinstalling your applications.
- slide 5 of 14
How to tell if Your Windows Vista PC is 64-bit Capable
In Vista, go to the Control Panel and open "Performance Information and Tools." Click on "View and print details." Under "System" you should see "System Type." If it says, "32-bit operating system," look for a line that says, "64-bit capable." It will not appear if you're already running a 64-bit version of Windows, but it will say "Yes" or "No" if you're running 32-bit Windows.
- slide 7 of 14
Why You Might or Might Not Want to Upgrade to a 64-bit Version of Windows 7
Who really needs a 64-bit operating system? Basically, those who wish to install and use more than three to four gigabytes of memory.
Usually, this is a person wishing to run virtualizations or somebody that wants to have many application windows open at one time and frequently switch between them.
The easiest upgrades, as shown below, are from like-to-like: 32-bit to 32-bit or 64-bit to 64-bit.
- slide 8 of 14
Why You Might Want to Do a Fresh Install Instead of an In-line Upgrade
If you've been running Vista for some time and have installed and removed many programs, it's likely that a program settings area called the System Registry has become large and unwieldy. Some programs are not good at removing all traces of themselves at uninstall, so, over time, a lot of detritus accumulates in the Registry. This also contributes to the lack of "spunk" that Windows users notice in their PC after a while because applications as well as the operating system make frequent searches in the Registry.
The Registry becomes less efficient through the normal usage of Windows. As Microsoft has retained the Registry in Windows 7, this type of problem can be expected to continue. If your PC is performing poorly, it is likely that having too many parasitic applications and processes running at start-up, as well as Registry congestion, are to blame. Wiping everything and starting over is the solution. (And then you can think about upgrading to a 64-bit version, too.)
- slide 9 of 14
Windows XP to Windows 7
Windows XP or XP Professional to any version of Windows 7 requires a fresh install.
Update: Microsoft's Scott Hanselman has written an excellent tutorial about how to use the "Windows Easy Transfer" application on the Windows 7 installation DVD and an external USB hard drive to back up user accounts, email, documents, pictures, music, videos, and browser bookmarks before uninstalling Windows XP.
This same technique will work with Windows Vista versions as well. One caveat, however, is that it does not transfer applications. Still, it's a big convenience compared to doing the same thing "by hand."

Vista Home Basic
Vista Home Basic can be upgraded directly to Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Ultimate in-line. Windows 7 Professional can be obtained by upgrading to Windows 7 Home Basic and then doing a Windows Anytime upgrade atop Windows 7 Home Basic.
Confusing? We'll try to unravel what is involved in combined direct upgrades and Anytime upgrades (and how much it costs in comparison) in part two of this article.

Strong families. Effective Education. Productive Business. Caring Community.
To practice Humility I will:
At first blush, Humility, like Meekness, may seem a synonym for weakness, Careful study of the quality will reveal just the opposite as it did when we studied Meekness. There is great strength in being humble. Humility asks that we honestly assess not only our weaknesses but our strengths as well. Humility further asks that we seek help for our weaknesses and recognize that others are instrumental in both our strengths and help for our weaknesses. Sounds like a strong leadership strategy to me. Humility is confidence that is rooted in fact and in proper perspective. Humility lets us celebrate the successes of others without feeling threatened. We do not require others to have less in order to feel like we have more.
This month, practice Humility by looking for the ways we are interdependent on each other."Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less. " - Rick Warren"Nobody stands taller than those willing to stand corrected." - William Safire
The Character Council also offers faith-based resources for use in religious schools, church groups and families.

Lee Joon Gi, Ji Chang Wook, Choi Ji Woo, 2PM's TaecYeon, and EXO's Kai attend Seven First Kisses press conference
Female shop employee, Min Soo Jin, has been single her whole life. A goddess gives her seven potential boyfriends played by: Lee Joon Gi, Ji Chang Wook, 2PM's TaecYeon, EXO's Kai, Lee Jong Suk, Park Hae Jin, and Lee Minho. This is reportedly the premise for "Seven First Kisses", a new web series created by Lotte Duty Free. Several stars of the drama like actress Choi Ji Woo and actors Lee Joon Gi, Ji Chang Wook, TaecYeon and Kai, attended the Tuesday press conference in Seoul.
"Seven First Kisses" is a K-culture fan's dream cast come true. Top actress Choi Ji Woo is the goddess who grants lucky leading lady Lee Cho Hee (Lucky Romance) a chance to be courted by a rich church oppa (Lee Joon Gi), secret agent (Ji Chang Wook), younger man (Kai), co-worker (Park Hae Jin), top star (Lee Jong Suk), and a son of a rich family (TaecYeon). Lee Minho's character details have been undisclosed as of yet.
The web drama is part of Lotte Duty Free's marketing strategy to further develop tourism by maximizing the power and influence of hallyu (Korean pop culture) through content creation. The brand along with 11 major entertainment agencies – including the "Big 3": SM, YG, and JYP Entertainment – have all agreed to work together on this effort. Reportedly, Lotte Duty Free would sign the celebrities up as an endorsement model and in return the agencies would provide content, and of course, the stars.
"Seven First Kisses" is expected to be out in mid-December.
Check out photos of the press conference below and let us know: which character do you think the lead will end up with?

Fear Factory - Resurrection Chords & Tabs
Resurrection Chords & Tabs
Resurrection from Fear Factory's Obsolete. First off, let me just say that the rest of the tabs on this sight for Fear Factory are all wrong. Dino played B-tuning through the first two albums and uses B and A tuning on Obsolete. So if you cant figure out why those tabs sound wrong, cuz they are. Tuning- B , tune down a perfect fifth. Just drop your A string to match your E and then go drop everything else to match your new E string. When u crank it up with distortion, it will probably sound pretty choppy, just cut out the mid-band and turn the distortion all the way up. Also, if your strings are buzzing a lot, using higher guage makes downtuning easier. This song is pretty easy to play, but if you can get your axe tuned right, it sounds great to play along too. h=hammer Long intro synth part. The notes for guitar follow in case you cant wait for the guitar part to start. E--3-----1--------- B---------------1-- First guitar part...

To the Editor:
On Aug. 28, the University of Illinois banned the war chant song played at athletic events at the school due to its association with already-banned mascot Chief Illiniwek and his supposedly offensive nature to Native Americans.
This again provided plenty of fodder for the anti-Chief Illiniwek crowd to remind us of how despicable it has been for us to honor him at past athletic events, along with the spirit, enthusiasm and history he invoked. Being a U of I alum, little did I know that the goosebumps I felt watching Chief Illiniwek and the marching Illini perform at half-time during football games were simply racially offensive pimples ready to pop in the 21st century. This is hard to believe, and I really don't think I do.
On a more serious note, there was another news story last week that was reported on, but not written about in columns or editorials by journalists, at least none that I am aware of. That was the opening of the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation Waiting Room at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. Anthony Rizzo, of the Chicago Cubs, has been truly grateful to and generous in supporting pediatric cancer at Lurie's with a $3.5 million donation from his foundation. As one young cancer patient states, "He is a very nice man and a good ball player, too."
Thus, what I am saying to journalists and reporters is that the stories about who or what offended whom are beginning to get old. It's time to write about much more important things in life and this last week it was the pediatric cancer patients, doctors and nurses at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago and what Anthony Rizzo is doing to help them.
I would like to add that September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. If you know a child and their family dealing with the hardships encountered through this disease, give them love, hope and support in any manner you can. They will be very appreciative and I guarantee you will not feel offended.

Credit on cardboard
In 1949, Frank McNamara forgot his wallet when he took clients out for dinner in New York.
To avoid future embarrassments, he wanted to find a smarter way to pay. Diners' club started
as a club that allowed patrons to dine on credit and settle their bill at the end of the
month at participating restaurants, and developed into credit cards as we know them today.

Debbie MacKenzie will be missed
When I saw
Deborah MacKenzie
's name on the list, I was very saddened. During the 24 years I have been a volunteer at
Dorothy Day House
, I have come to know Debbie and experience the excellent job that she does as director of welfare and social services.
Her competence and ability, coupled with her sense of concern and care for the clients with whom she works, is unparalleled.
I have known times when she reached out to provide help long after her work day had ended. She has led the way in seeking and forming new and innovative ways to address the problems of homelessness in our area.
She has been a leader in the struggle to provide affordable housing or other assistance related to housing. Overseeing the emergency shelter which provides services for the homeless, referrals for substance abuse or mental health issues, help to obtain employment, and overseeing the night shelter are just some of her responsibilities.
We at Dorothy Day House have long had a working, cooperative relationship with her agency and we rely almost daily on their services for our guests.
The city of Danbury has a reputation of being one of the most caring and efficient cities in responding to those who are in need.
Without a doubt, this is due in no small part to the leadership and work of Debbie MacKenzie.
I can only hope that the mayor of Danbury will not accept her resignation at this time.

The dress late singer Amy Winehouse wore in the photo on the cover of her hit 2006 album Back To Black is to be auctioned off for charity.
The printed chiffon outfit's designer, Disaya Sorakraikitikul, has donated the dress to the foundation set up in the singer's name, and it will go under the hammer at La Galleria in London later this month (29Nov11). It is expected to fetch up to $32,000 .
Auctioneer Kerry Taylor says, "What makes this particular dress so special is that it is an emblematic reminder of the magic voice and sublime talent of Amy Winehouse, a sound that resonates with an entire generation."
The tragic singer died in July (11), aged 27.

Porcelain Crowns
Damaged or decayed teeth can negatively affect your ability to eat, as well as the overall health and function of your jaw and mouth. These weakened teeth often need support to give them additional strength and protection. With porcelain crowns, you can renew your confidence in the appearance of your smile. For missing teeth, these durable restorations can be used in combination with dental implants for a permanent, natural-looking solution.
If you have teeth that are decayed, chipped, or cracked, they can become very sensitive and often painful, not to mention making eating or drinking a difficult task. With porcelain crowns, these teeth are protected and strengthened. In order to custom-make these crowns to fit snugly over your existing tooth or teeth, Dr. Farber will first take a mold of the affected area, allowing her to make a cast of your teeth. The cast will be sent to the lab so your crown or crowns can be fabricated specifically for you. Our cosmetic dentist works with the Jason J. Kim Oral Design New York Center, one of the best laboratories in the country, in an effort to provide our patients with the best possible quality restorations. The laboratory will color match the material so your crowns can blend in naturally. Depending on the condition of your teeth, Dr. Farber may be able to provide you with temporary crowns to wear until the permanent crowns are completed. For out-of-town patients, Dr. Farber can make arrangements with the lab to have the crowns finished quickly, allowing for your reconstruction procedure to be completed in approximately 2-3 days. The permanent crowns are made of a strong porcelain material and are bonded to your teeth with a dental cement. Once attached, they are designed to provide support and an improved appearance that can last for years to come.
Great nice and friendly office, I've been very pleased with the dental work I've received especially the dental bridges, the office also worked well with my insurance to make my payments affordable.
Contact Contemporary and Esthetic Dentistry
Dr. Marianna Farber is a member of the American Dental Association and is proud to provide her patients with high-quality, natural-looking crowns. For more information, or to schedule a consultation to see if these durable restorations are right for you, please contact us today.

The Simpsons Cutouts Congratulate High School Grad
Photo: brantastic [Flickr]
Somewhere in Nova Scotia, in the front lawn of a nondescript house are these cutouts of characters from The Simpsons congratulating a family member's graduation. Flickr user brantastic has the story:
It turns out she'd made all of these wooden simpsons cutouts herself, from scratch, as a surprise for her son who was graduating from high school. she told us that he'd worked really hard and only took breaks to watch The Simpsons.

After seeing this display of affection I feel so unloved.. My mom never made me a simpsons house!
I´m sure her son would have prefered the money.
Awesome way to congratulate someone! :)
That's one cool mom!
Holy... That is awesome.

LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State hold the top four spots in the first BCS standings, setting up two potentially huge conference games that could determine which teams play for the national title.
Southeastern Conference rivals first-place LSU and second-place Alabama meet Nov. 5 in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The Tigers play defending national champion Auburn at home on Saturday and the Crimson Tide is at Tennessee. If they can get through that, both will be off for a week before a likely No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup that could decide the SEC West.
Third-place Oklahoma and fourth-place Oklahoma State have to wait longer to play their potential Big 12 showdown. The Bedlam rivalry is set for Dec. 3 at Stillwater, Okla.
The only other time the top four teams in the first BCS standings of the season came from two conferences was 2000, when the Big 12 (Nebraska and Oklahoma) and the Big East (Virginia Tech and Miami) did it.
The BCS standings combine the coaches' poll, Harris poll and a compilation of six computer rankings.
The top four teams in the AP Top 25, which is not part of the BCS standings, were LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.
Boise State was fifth in the first BCS standings, in good position to at least earn a spot in the five most lucrative bowl games, if not the BCS championship game on Jan. 9 in New Orleans.
Wisconsin was sixth, followed by fellow undefeated teams Clemson and Stanford. The other two undefeated major-college teams are Kansas State in 11th place and Houston in 19th.
With half the season to play, there is still plenty of opportunities to shake up the standings, but for now the focus will be on the SEC and the Big 12.
Seven times in the 13-year history of the Bowl Championship Series, the teams that played in the national championship game were in the top four of the first standings. But teams have also come from has far back as 12th (LSU in 2003) and 10th (Florida in 2008) to play in the title game.
The SEC has produced the last five national champions and Alabama and LSU are on target to put another SEC team in the championship game this season.
After the Tide and Tigers play each other, both would have three more games and a conference championship to get through after the showdown in Tuscaloosa. If the winner on Nov. 5 can stay undefeated, it'll be off to New Orleans.
In the Big 12, it might not be quite so clear cut.
Oklahoma State is No. 1 in the computer ratings but as Stanford and Wisconsin move into the tougher parts of their schedules, that advantage might go away.
College football
K-State up to 12th in poll
Surprising Kansas State has climbed to No. 12 in the Associated Press college football poll, the Wildcats' best ranking since 2004.
Kansas State improved to 6-0 on Saturday night with a 41-34 comeback victory at Texas Tech and jumped five spots in the rankings released Sunday. It was the fourth straight week coach Bill Snyder's Wildcats won as underdogs.
The last time Kansas State was ranked this highly was the 2004 preseason poll, when the Wildcats were No. 12.
The top 10 teams in the rankings remained the same after a weekend filled with blowouts. No. 1 LSU received 41 first-place votes, No. 2 Alabama had 11 and No. 3 Oklahoma got six.
The rest of the top 10 was Wisconsin, Boise State (one first-place vote), Oklahoma State, Stanford, Clemson, Oregon and Arkansas.
Crane takes McGladrey
St. Simons Island, Ga. — Ben Crane knew he was going home Monday to be with his wife for the birth of their third child. He had no reason to believe he would be bringing the McGladrey Classic trophy with him.
Seven shots behind with 11 holes to play, Crane ran off seven birdies to close with a 7-under 63, and then he won the sudden-death playoff when Webb Simpson missed a short par putt on the second extra hole Sunday.
Crane nearly holed his approach on the 14th to start a string of four straight birdies. He had a long two-putt on the par-5 15th, followed by a pair of birdie putts from about 20 feet.
Simpson closed with a 66, despite not making a birdie over his last seven holes.
They finished at 15-under 265 and extended the PGA Tour's record with the 18th playoff this year. It looked as if it might last more than two holes when Crane made a 5-foot comeback putt for par, and Simpson had a par putt just over 3 feet. But it caught the right lip and spun away, giving Crane his first win of the year.
Couples rolls at AT&T;
San Antonio — Fred Couples ran away with the Champions Tour's AT&T; Championship, shooting a bogey-free 6-under 66 for a seven-stroke victory — the largest margin on the 50-and-over tour this year.
Couples opened with rounds of 65 and 62 and finished at 23 under on TPC San Antonio's Canyons Course. He won for the second time this season and sixth time in two seasons on the tour.
Mark Calcavecchia shot a 66 to finish second. Charles Schwab Cup points leader Tom Lehman and John Cook tied for third at 14 under. They also closed with 66s.
Choi narrow LPGA winner
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia — South Korea's Na Yeon Choi won the LPGA Malaysia for her first LPGA Tour victory of the season and fifth in three years, beating top-ranked Yani Tseng by a stroke.

If you attach a larger screenshot, we could get some info from it.

If you aren't sure, and have had multiple issues leading to restores, a disk wipe and clean install is never a bad idea.

Two people killed outside a suburban Atlanta church shot each other during a fight after a funeral of a slain teen, police said Friday.
A 19-year-old got into a fight with a group of people Thursday outside Victory for the World Baptist Church in Stone Mountain following the service for 19-year-old Ryan Guider, said DeKalb County police spokeswoman Mekka Parish. The fight continued in the parking lot, where the teen got a gun from his car and he and a 28-year-old fired shots, killing each other and wounding two others.
The county medical examiner's office identified the 19-year-old as Carlos Henderson Jr. and the 28-year-old as Deimetrius Heard. Henderson was believed to have been a friend of Guider's and both men had attended the funeral, Parish said.
Parish did not identify the two wounded, but says their injuries aren't believed to be life-threatening. Detectives believe they know the cause of the fight but are not releasing that information, Parish said.
Authorities have said Guider was shot May 26 by Marcus D. Ventress, 28, in retaliation for a home burglary. Authorities said he was not at the funeral, but they're still seeking him on a murder charge in Guider's death, Parish said.

Hello everyone!, Clep is one of my latest projects and here i'm gonna explain some techniques that i used to create this image.
To create this project, I needed a basic main idea of what i wanted to show. I wanted to create a clear scence focused on one thing, all the magic will be done only by this object. The beggining was to make its design.
A good way to make good designs is to have a lot of visual references, use them with the creativity, and start to mix things up in the mind finding new ways to show what already exists. Anyway our brains interprets visual stuff relating it with things that they have seen before.
At google i could find a lot of reference to start with, it's good to save a lot of them in the pc to have them near to watch.
Now with this i started drawing some rough strokes. Honestly i'm not a good drawer at all, but that doesn't have to be a limitation. Anyway Is very necesary to have very clear the ideas in a piece of paper not matter how badly they're drawn. Sometimes some stuff that works pretty fine on paper may not work very well on 3d, so this could change during the process, also because a change of mind or something else, so it's not good to be afraid to make changes to try to get a better looking.
This drawing was pretty easy to draw, because all those circles, i just used a compass.

These bacteria are found in animals' intestines, and can contaminate food that comes into contact with infected animals' feces. Common sources of E. coli food poisoning may include:
- Fresh produce
- Ground beef
- Unpasteurized milk
- Unsafe restaurant practices (such as servers or food preparers who don't wash their hands after using the restroom)
- Contaminated drinking water
Most healthy adults who contract E. coli overcome their symptoms within a few weeks, but this infection can be much more serious for individuals who have compromised immune systems, such as the elderly and young children. Some patients diagnosed with E. coli infections go on to develop hemolytic-urenia syndrome (HUS), a serious condition which can lead to kidney failure, brain damage, or even death.
Symptoms of E. Coli
If a person has become infected with E. coli, he or she may present with the following symptoms within three or four days:
- Diarrhea which may start watery and become bloody
- Severe abdominal cramping
- Nausea
- Vomiting
If you experience the above symptoms of E. coli, it is vital that you seek immediate medical attention in order to avoid extended suffering, contaminating your loved ones, or the more serious and potentially fatal condition called HUS.
Do you have an E. Coli Lawsuit Claim?
If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with E. coli or another foodborne illness, negligent food preparation, manufacturing, or serving practices may be to blame for your suffering.

Tim Tebow will stand before the media shortly after noon today ready to get peppered with questions.
Everybody in … the circus is about to begin.
Tebowmania gets its official Jets kickoff today when the team introduces the most famous backup quarterback in NFL history at a press conference at its headquarters in Florham Park.
This is going to be a press conference like nothing the Jets have ever seen. It is being held inside the team's fieldhouse, its indoor practice facility, because that is the only place space in the facility large enough to hold all of the media.
The press conference has people inside and outside the organization shaking their heads. But there is a strong media demand for Tebow, and the Jets are catering to that.
"While the demand may be different, our approach as an organization is the same," senior director of media relations Bruce Speight said. "We gauge the level of interest from the media and provide accommodations that are respectful and appropriate and allow them to perform their jobs to the best of their ability."
The Jets are doing their best to downplay the event. Tebow won't even be holding up his jersey, as is usually done at an introductory press conference. No matter how hard they try, though, the Jets can't minimize how large this will be.
This will likely rival the press conference the Yankees held for Hideki Matsui in 2002 at the Marriott Marquis, which more than 300 media members attended.
It is much different than anything the Jets have had. Mark Sanchez was introduced in the normal media room after he was drafted. Rex Ryan's introductory press conference was held in the team's auditorium. Brett Favre probably would have drawn a similar crowd, except his press conference was hastily called and before a preseason game in Cleveland.
The event is not open to the public, but will be carried live on ESPN, SNY and the NFL Network.
Ryan, general manager Mike Tannenbaum and owner Woody Johnson will not be there today because they are at the league meetings in Florida.
That leaves Tebow to answer all of the questions.
Here are the five biggest ones he must answer today:
1. Did you choose the Jets over the Jaguars?
Tebow said he had no influence on where he was traded during a conference call Wednesday night. But Broncos VP John Elway contradicted him a day later when he told a Denver radio station that Tebow was consulted throughout the trade process.
Sources said Tebow preferred the Jets because he felt they truly wanted him. Tebow does not want to offend his hometown of Jacksonville, but either he is lying or Elway is.
2. Do you hope to start?
How will Tebow answer this? If he says yes, we've got a quarterback controversy. If he says no, what does that say about his competitive fire? He will surely lean on some version of "whatever helps the team." But he is going to be pressed repeatedly on this topic.
3. Do you worry about the effect your popularity could have on the team?
Jets players are privately already bracing for what comes with Tebow. No one blames Tebow. Many said they admire him as a player. But they know there will be a media circus that follows him. Tebow must address how he can ease this burden on his teammates and not let it become a distraction.
4. What have you done to improve as a passer since the end of the season?
A football question! Tebow has been working with UCLA offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone (a former Jets assistant under Eric Mangini) on his throwing mechanics. Tebow needs to address exactly how much better he feels he can be and if he feels the criticism of his passing is valid.
5. Do you think backup quarterbacks should have press conferences?
The fact Tebow is having this event today rubs a lot of people the wrong way. The Jets say they are just responding to media demand. Tebow likely had little to do with the planning of the event. But, is he embarrassed by this?

Grad Girls Network Grad Girls Network
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
We are a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that shapes women and girls into confident and productive graduates who inspire their fellow peers to finish school and lead productive lives.
To promote positive peer to peer influences that impacts the lives of middle and high school girls through a community based network of mentors, volunteers, sponsors and partners.
Grad Girls Network is a community based network of mentors, volunteers, sponsors and partners that reaches middle and high school girls in various communities although we primarily direct our efforts to reach students in underserved areas. With over 520,000 of the estimated dropouts from the class of 2007 being girls, we seek to provide teen girls with resources and opportunities to positively influence their futures and the futures of their fellow peers.
Because many of the negative decisions that middle and high school girls make are directly affected by the influence of their peers, program also educates girls on how to become a better asset to their communities, which contributes to assisting them with becoming the next generation of influencers.
Though it is important for teens to have adult role models, peer acceptance has a major impact on the decisions that students make and Grad Girls Network has created several programs to interact girls with professional women serving as mentors who assist with shaping the futures of the teens which empowers students to then assist other girls with shaping theirs.
Because over 75% of the girls who we serve reported having at least one parent who did not graduate from high school, we provide students with an environment that we believe is essential for young women to grow and learn as people and as leaders capable of inspiring generations to come.

The Evolution of Music
Music is usually evolving for the reason that its construction. This narrative of song is finished in a different music we appreciate. Music designers who yield good melodies, are recognized and revered designed for their skillets, and recently it's lead to many people aspiring musicians who want to acquire high profile and benefits through their music. In the area music along with constantly searching for, and lots this narrative of songs has increased to conveniently rate. Music contain evolved for some serious reasons for instance, improved principle, and adjust in chosen lifestyle, and an important preference to build a dilemma new.
Predominately adjust within music is without a doubt related on the way to culture. Within the Middle Age brackets music daytime music was present in two regions, the church combined with tavern. This has been Nintendo wiki natural environment for terrific music that can bloom. However within the Baroque period, 1600-1750, wealthy many people begun you ought to hire pros to develop music for the kids. These people would expend the artists to ready and occupy music to get a patrons joy, and suitable entertainment during her and his gatherings. Music doesn't necessarily change 100 % in the emu for very long periods.
In United States music was initially did commence to evolve you might. This brand-new place acquired a daily activities of unique and this also became reproduced inside it is movies and also moving. One from main strategies of music came to exist in Detroit, also its termed massive strap. It's generally known as massive music group, wish large wedding ring was would most likely once make sharp, catchy songs. This style of music soon enough became around Europe and also America in the 1920s. Big music band music appeared being pretty optimistic for the purpose of America like a technique associated with joy along with enjoyment.
Adolf Rickenbacker created playing the guitar in your later 1920s additionally in finishing this the guy switched songs permanently. This has been at the very first try that searchers started to apply power to increase their gadgets. Furthermore with all the invention from electric instrument this entry into the world from Jazz movie channels. Before your guitar came up against the scene it was subsequently nearly impossible in adding a ancient guitar into a wedding ring music even as it was not just loud quite a lot of, but playing the guitar solved the amount issue. Camera we citizens strongly sign up to rhythm working with their popular music.

1. Decide on the Container for the Pile
For Example:
a. Hardware cloth with reasonably large opening.
b. Stacking plastic tubs with the bottom cut out, lots of holes drilled in the sides and top.
c. Three wooden slat bins-in-a-row.
c. A pile on ground compacted down so rainfall runs off into a pond.
d. All piles must be able to be covered to protect them from rain, snow, sleet, and evaporation.
2. Collect Starting Materials
a. Store starting materials dry if you collect over time.
b. Collect tiny bits of fungi from natural ecosystems and add to the middle of the wood chip pile where moisture is adequate to enhance fungal diversity and biomass.
c. The last thing to collect would be the High Nitrogen (N) so it can be used fresh.
d. Use of cow, horse, and sheep manure may require slightly more than 10% High N, especially if you have to guesstimate how
much bedding material is mixed into the manure and urine.
e. Chicken, pig, and human manure is generally much higher N because they eat much higher N content food. Be careful not to
over-apply these very high N materials.
f. High Nitrogen (N) = FRESH manure (guesstimate woody component if sawdust or wood chips were used too soak up the
manure and urine), legumes, germ of seeds, meat. C:N around 10.
g. Green = anything cut when it was green and still contains the sugars, proteins, and carbohydrates; must be dried in order to
store. C:N between 30 and 60.
h. Woody = wood (chips are better than sawdust), stalks, paper, cardboard, anything high in cellulose and lignin. Enhance
beneficial fungi during storage. C:N above 60.
3. Determine Percentages of High N, Green, Woody
a. Make trial piles. For Example: 50% of your mix of green, 50% of your mix of woody, split into 3 small piles, and add 10% High
N to the first, 15% High N to the second, and 20% High N to the third. Monitor piles as described below to figure out how much
of your High N is needed to maintain temperatures above 131F for the full 15 days.
b. Measure the three starting materials using buckets (e.g., pails or front-end loader), or measure depth in the compost bin you use.
c. Once measured, mix materials together on a tarp, or mix layers in the compost bin by turning.
d. Wet up dry materials: Soaking in water the day before starting the piles, or soaking overnight before starting the pile
e. Moisture of starting materials should be 50%, and piles should be maintained at 50%. Moisture must be tested by hand
4. Decide on Compost Recipe
a. Recipes for compost depend on how fast you want compost made and how much time you are willing to give to monitoring the
b. Typical Small Scale, Fungal Compost Recipe: 10% High Nitrogen, 30% Green Plant Materials, 60% Woody Materials.
Generally takes 6 to 8 weeks to finish.
c. Typical Small Scale, Balanced Fungal:Bacterial Compost Recipe: 10% High Nitrogen, 40% Green Plant Materials, 50%
Woody Materials. Generally takes 6 to 8 weeks to finish, unless compost tea with great fungal biomass is added at the
d. Commercial Compost Recipe: 25% High Nitrogen, 30% Green Plant Materials, 45% Woody Materials (Please note this will
need to be tested for temperature approximately every 6 hours during the first 10 to 15 days, and turned if necessary). This
generally takes 4 to 8 weeks.
e. Household Food Waste Compost Recipe: Put a pile of 50% Green and 50% Woody Materials together. Deposit the first
increment of household waste about 1 foot from the bottom of this pile, but fully 2 feet into the pile. Make sure to completely
cover and protect the waste put into the pile. Mark deposit site with a flag. Repeat each time food waste needs to be
deposited, but move about a foot around the pile at that 1 foot from the ground level until all sites are occupied. Move up
about 1 foot, and repeat deposits at this level until all sites are used, moving up and repeating until all sites are used. Wait at
least 2 weeks after the final deposit is made at the top of the pile, then add the 10% High N needed to start the composting
operation. Turn, mixing all materials well. Proceed to compost as normal.
5. Temperature
a. How often the temperature of the pile is taken is based on how fast the pile is heating.
b. In compost that takes 6 to 8 weeks or longer, temperatures are typically taken each morning during the time the pile is above
c. Always push the 3 or 4 foot long STAINLESS STEEL thermometer to the same depth each time to more accurately measure
what is going on in the pile. If you very depth of your readings, the differences in temperatures may just be because you are
deeper into the pile, and therefore hotter, or not as far into the pile, and therefore cooler.
d. Always take at least three readings from each pile each time you measure temperature to understand hot/cold spots.
e. The pile needs to get to above 131 F (55 C) within 3 to 7 days from starting. The pile must maintain temperature above 131 F
for a full 10-15 days.
f. Turn the pile when it starts to reach 160-165 F as the organisms are growing so fast that they are using up all the oxygen in
the pile.
g, Turn the pile if a layer of white ashy actinobacteria begin to develop.
h. Turn the pile if there are wet and cold spots, or wet and dry spots. The pile needs to be reasonably uniform at the same
depths in the pile.
i. Turn the pile if there are any bad smells noted.
6. Moisture
a. Measure moisture while waiting for the thermometer to come to equilibrium
b. Pile should be maintained at 50% moisture. Anything over 50% needs to be dealt with immediately. 40% is okay, 30% is too
c. Add moisture when the pile is turned. Thus, if moisture is approaching 40%, get ready to turn, and add water as turning the
next day.
7. Smells
a. No bad smells should ever be detected.
b. Turn the pile if even the smallest whiff of a bad smell is detected.
c. Bad Smells: Ammonia, rotten eggs, sulfur, vinegar, sour milk, vomit, decaying flesh, or any mixture of these things.
d. Do not let the pile become anaerobic or all the soluble, plant available N, P, and S will be lost as gases.
e. Alcohol is made when anaerobic conditions occur, and if temperatures reach 180 F, the pile may spontaneously burst into
flames. It is very important to measure temperature and moisture each day, or more often, if the pile is heating rapidly.
8. Covers
a. Cover the pile to protect it in stormy weather (rain, snow, sleet, etc.) or in dry weather.
b. Covers can be made of felt fabrics that allow gases to diffuse through, but sheds 80% of water hitting the surface (best).
However, tarps, butcher paper, space blankets, and even black plastic can be used.
c. DO NOT SEAL the bottom edge of the cover with dirt or rocks on the ground. The bottom fourth of the pile should be left
uncovered so the pile can continue to get air in under that edge. Rocks or pins should go into the pile itself, not the ground.
Aeration is critical.
9. Notes About Turning
a. A properly made pile should only require 5 turns, and then the temperature will start to drop to ambient temperature rapidly.
For home use, turn the pile the least number of times you can, without allowing anaerobic conditions to begin.
b. The initial mix of starting materials must be balanced correctly, to cause the organisms to grow rapidly, but not too rapidly.
The amount of High N added is the real driving variable in that determination.
10. Mature / Finished Piles: A pile is NOT FINISHED until temperature returns to ambient.
a. Compost from a pile with temperature more than 10 degrees above outside temperature can harm plants, because bacteria
and fungi are still growing so fast that they will out-compete the plant for nutrients.
b. A mature pile will balance bacterial and fungal growth with protozoa, beneficial nematodes, microarthropods. In the case of a
worm bin -- earthworms, predation, making sure that nutrient uptake is balanced by release.
c. Bacteria are enhanced by turning, and they bloom to high numbers after turning.
d. Fungi will be sliced and diced each time the pile is turned, and will need time to recover. The time between the fifth turn and
when the temperature returns to ambient is critical for the fungi to balance bacterial biomass. So the final compost has a
balanced fungal to bacterial ratio based on the woody and green components initially used when started.
e. Protozoa, nematodes and microarthropods re-activate during the maturation period, and become more active.
f. When the pile reaches ambient conditions, diversity actually will continue to improve for the next 6 months.
g. After 6 months, some foods will be depleted and diversity will begin to fall off.
h. Maintain activity in the pile by adding foods for the organisms to start to become rare when using the microscope to assess
the organisms.
i. Maintain moisture above 30% and maintain good aerobic conditions.
Why not add the fungi are the end, after heating and turning? You can't make sure then that selection for just beneficial fungi has occurred, when you add something after all the important parts of the process are over. The fungi need to grow WITH the bacteria. Remember, we get rid of the bad guys in a thermal compost by reaching hot enough, long enough temperatures as well as by having the competition for foods, spaces, etc. We can't build structure in the pile to allow normal oxygen movement through the pile without fungi building macroaggrates right from the beginning.
So just turn to the least amount possible, by controlling the high N put into the pile. The high N is probably the most expensive thing that goes into that pile, so don't over-do on that part. Just enough, not too much, not too little.
Please realize that mycorrhizal fungi DO NOT GROW IN COMPOST PILES AT ALL. if anyone says they do, ask them to show data. We don't know how to grow mycorrhizal fungi outside of the root- fungus interface. No living roots in compost, no actively-growing mycorrhrizal fungi. Spores, yes. Hyphae, no. to increase the number of spores, you have to add an inoculum you know is pathogen-free --- so lab grown, or from a place in the real world where you can be pretty sure there are no disease or pest organisms. and you are taking a chance when you assume a place is disease / pest-free without testing it.
You CANNOT be constantly adding materials laden with human pathogens to a pile, never reaching temperature, and say you are making compost. Decomposed food waste, yes, but not compost.
So, how should this be done?
Two choices: 1. Worm composting. 2. Partial static - thermal composting.
Let's go through a part- thermal composting - part static composting scheme, which works and serves those who want to do thermal, but have daily to weekly inputs of food waste they need to deal with.
Get a pile of the green - woody mix (green waste, as bad-stuff free as you can get it). The first load of food waste should go into the pile about a food or two above ground level. The wetter the food waste is, the higher the deposit should be above the level of the ground. We can't have human pathogens moving into the soil below the ground through leaching of water from the food waste. You MUST assume any organic matter touched by human hands is contaminated by human pathogens. Therefore, at least one foot above ground level is fairly dry, two feet of sloppy.
The deposit should be at least 2 feet into the pile, so any odors that develop form the not-completely aerobic
Decomposition that might happen will be taken up within the pile and not escape. Can't have our N, S, or P escaping from the pile, so the organisms in the aerobic parts to the side and above the deposit must grab those nutrients before they leave the pile.
And, if those odors leave the pile they attract: any sort of fly, wasps, and any meat-eating vermin or predatory animal. They will dig into the pile to find what --- to them -- is making those delicious odors, and then spread your garbage all over the neighborhood. Your neighbors will never let you forget what happened (the morning I found used paper plates, napkins, ...... spread all over my yard) and might even make laws to prevent composting in the neighborhood.
So check your pile all the time for odors. If you smell bad odors, even the slightest bad odor, add another foot thick layers to the top of the pile, or enough of a layer that no bad smells will be detected.
The second deposit of food waste goes into the pile at the same height, same depth, but a little bit over from deposit #1. Far enough over that you aren't digging up any part of deposit #1, but not too far over that you are not using all the space you can in the pile. The third deposit is same as #2, except a bit further along the pile.
Once all deposit sites are filled on the lowest level of the pile --- I usually put little flags in the pile to note where a deposit site has been filled so I don't accidentally uncover the slightly putrid spots of previous food waste, then I move up a foot, and fill the spots at that next level. Continue until all possible deposit sites are filled. the last deposit is at the top of the pile, straight down into the center of the pile. You are now finished with adding any food to this pile. Wait at least two weeks (maybe longer if you compost through freezing temperatures). Then add 10% high nitrogen to the pile and mix that in.
Now you do the typical thermal composting process, making sure that ALL PARTS of the pile get into the hot middle area, thus killing all the human pathogens. Temperature MUST be measured each day during the 10 to 15 days the pile will be hot. Not hot enough long enough ..... start over.
You can probably see some variations on this method, depending on the pile configuration you like best, and the height you can mange (I can't have piles anything about 4.5 feet, my back just won't take it anymore).
Of course, I give more details in the on-line course, so this is to just get you started doing things so it will be real compost, no pathogens, once you finish.

Finnish Author Wrote Book in Text Message.
Newest 3 Comments
um claire you got the wrong idea, that is an opportunity to read books over text not a book about text. there is a difference. thing is that this book really does not sound very good it is just getting alot of popularity because it is the first book to be published about text, neato is right it is like Gordon R. Dickson's story. It is a bunch of text not a normally written story viewed in text.
This sounds like the 21st century equivalent of Gordon R. Dickson's story "Computer's Don't Argue", which is told in form letters!
This is old news in Japan..
