BSOD MEMORY_MANAGMENT Windows 7 64-bit
Hi Everyone
I have a custom built PC that keeps crashing at random times,most times under no load.
I have run memtest for 18 hours straight and received no errors, I have also run prime95 for 10+ hours with no errors(passed all). I have no idea how to diagnose or fix the problem and would be extremely grateful for any assistance. I have attached two .dmp files of the two most recent crashes.
Thanking you in advance for any help you may be able to give.

After spending week upon week trying to figure out this problem I still have yet to find an answer. I have had two more Blue screens and have attached the .zip file with them in. Could someone please have a look and see if you can shed any light on my problem.
I have run memtest and prime95 for hours/days on end and both return no errors. I have done chkdsk and have re-fomated the drive. I have re-installed windows 4 or 5 times more and still nothng.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What settings do you use for Prime95? Have you tried using the other settings (Blend, Small FFT's, Large FFT's)?
Webcam drivers are still a bit outdated:

I'd suggest a free hard drive test: HD Diagnostic (read the details at the link)
and, just in case, running this free stress test:
FurMark download site: FurMark: Graphics Card Stability and Stress Test, OpenGL Benchmark and GPU Temperature | oZone3D.Net
FurMark Setup:
- If you have more than one GPU, select Multi-GPU during setup
- In the Run mode box, select "Stability Test" and "Log GPU Temperature"
Click "Go" to start the test
- Run the test until the GPU temperature maxes out - or until you start having problems (whichever comes first).
- Click "Quit" to exit

I used the default settings for prime95 the first few times and moved on to Blend and Large FTT's.
I just had another blue screen while writing this the first time(I have attached the .dmp file).
It happened after I ran the sfc in cmd.exe as admin.
On this install of windows I only have core programs and Prime95,Memtest and real temp etc...
I will give the Hd test a go now, I have run GPU benchmarks already(Haven and 3D mark vantage) but will give the stress test a go.
My webcam is built in to my Dell monitor and I have searched and download what it seemed like the latest drivers.
How can I check what Hardware/compatibility issue it is?
Many thanks for the quick response..Always good to know someone is there..

My path to editing wasn't the normal one.
My husband used to own and run a little bookstore. Part of the plan for the store was to give local and self-published authors (who were less common in those early days of Kindle!) a venue for their work. I planned the marketing and events for the store, so I was lucky enough to get to know quite a few of the authors in our area.
In 2009 one of our self-pub authors asked if I could look over her new manuscript and give her my opinion about its marketability with our customers. My feedback was extensive, the author was impressed, and I was hooked!
Most importantly, I learned that although I have the know-how to write a book, my real passion is helping other writers bring their books out into the world. Editing is the perfect blend of my analytical skills and my creative spirit–it keeps both sides occupied so they're not always fighting!
It wasn't long, and I was mentoring several local authors as a part-time business, and editing came as a natural extension of that. In 2013, I took the plunge to become a full time editor and writing coach.
I live in North Carolina, in an itty-bitty town a few miles from Charlotte, with my husband Shawn, our two kids, and our menagerie: one dog, seven cats, a million fancy rats, and a turtle. When I'm not editing, I'm indulging in local culture, history, art, geek-centric hobbies, and planning new things to do with my family. I don't get to read for pleasure as much as I'd like, but it's worth it to get paid to read all day.

Every wedding is filled with emotion, tears and laughter, but Theresa and Brendan's day will always hold a special place in my heart. These two are an incredible testimony to the power and strength of family and friends, and as their photographer, it was amazing to be a part of it all. Theresa and her ladies got ready at a family home, and shared champagne outdoors prior to leaving for the ceremony. Theresa and Brendan love spending time down the shore in warm weather, so bright turquoise and cheery yellow were chosen to set the tone for the evening. An emotional first look was followed by formal portraits and a ceremony overlooking the green. Brendan teared up when he watched Theresa walk down the aisle by her two brothers, and the two were pronounced husband and wife as the sun set behind them. I met Theresa through her cousins - you might recognize a few of them in the dancing photos :). Thanking Theresa and Brendan for welcoming me into their big day. Love you both, and many years of happiness! Special thanks to Alex Schon for second shooting and helping me dodge golf balls.

Obama Campaign Blasts Romney On Gay Rights
Attacks on flier flap. "First, just exactly which part of that flier doesn't he agree with?"
Here's the email from LGBT aide Jamie Citron, sent to the campaign's list of supporters interested in gay and lesbian issues:
The Mitt Romney who ran for U.S. Senate in 1994 promised voters in Massachusetts that he'd be a stronger advocate for LGBT rights than Senator Kennedy.
And in 2002, while running for governor of Massachusetts, Romney's campaign passed out fliers for Pride Weekend, saying "All citizens deserve equal rights regardless of their sexual preference." Yesterday afternoon, Mitt Romney's current campaign actually disavowed that 2002 flier.
You're probably wondering a few things. First, just exactly which part of that flier doesn't he agree with? And second, what could have possibly changed between yesterday morning (when Romney said he felt gays and lesbians deserved "full rights") and yesterday afternoon? Maybe he thinks that line won't play as well in the upcoming South Carolina primary?
It's election season again, and the only Mitt we really know is the one who will say whatever it takes to win. If he is the Republican nominee, we can expect him to suddenly try and be best friends with LGBT voters again. That's why we're sending him the message that it doesn't work like that -- and that we won't let him get away with it.
Say you'll help hold Mitt accountable before he has a chance to pander yet again:
Mitt's going to try to be whoever he thinks he needs to be to get elected -- it's our job to make sure those tactics come at a cost.
Stay tuned,

That's the city, highway and combined mileage of the all-new 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid: 47, 47, 47.
The five-passenger runabout, which arrives at dealerships this fall, does an impressive job of playing multiple roles for discerning customers. It will easily get the kids to school, a wife to work and, with a total range of 570 miles, take the entire family to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe and back.
Ready for battle
Like any Adams story, really, there's nothing that original in the parts that make up the C-Max, but it's the way they are combined that creates the magic.
The C-Max comes from Europe, where it has roamed Autobahns as a gas or diesel powered five-passenger and seven-passenger family hauler. Built on the Ford Focus platform, the C-Max keeps that European styling with a high roofline, narrow body and lots of windows (known as greenhouse in automotive parlance).
But for America, the C-Max will be known as only an energy-efficient hybrid ready to battle the Toyota Prius.
The Howl of Efficiency
The C-Max appears ready for the monumental task. Its powertrain combines a 2-liter gas-powered engine, a torque-filled electric motor and continuously variable transmission to create a powerful and efficient powertrain. This is the next generation hybrid powertrain that will soon be feature on the 2013 Ford Fusion when it arrives later this year. It's also a significant upgrade over the outgoing version.
It produces 188 net horsepower and can pull the C-Max along at 62 mph on electric power only. It out muscles the bigger Prius v by more than 50 ponies under the hood. Arthur Dent couldn't ask for more.
During a test drive around Malibu, Calif., the C-Max never wanted for power. Its off –the-line power was noticeably pleasant with quick acceleration. Along the highway, the C-Max cruised along quietly at 80 mph without a problem.
The only noticeable quirk was when the C-Max needed an energy boost going up a hill or sudden acceleration. Because the engine is tuned to run on the Atkinson cycle and has a CVT, it tended to while at a set rpm. There's simple logic to this, as the engine immediately hits its most efficient rpm setting to provide the most power. Unlike regular engines that need to rev up and down, this engine moves directly to its most efficient point. Think of the engine whine as the howl of efficiency. There was never a power lag, or lull, just a whine that may take some adjusting to for some owners.
Smart technology
But they'll be rewarded with the C-Max's overall performance. Based on the Ford Focus platform (one of 10 vehicles Ford builds on that platform), the C-Max handles like a sporty sedan, not a hybrid. Even with its tall roof, the C-Max held crisp lines through the quick curves in the Malibu canyons. The electric power steering is crisp and with an excellent return to center.
More over, the C-Max rides quietly when it's supposed to and toughens up when it needs to. It's a hybrid full of surprises.
One pleasant surprise was the way Ford uses technology to cover up some of its blemishes. To make the engine more efficient, Ford tuned it to run on an extremely low idle. Running this way can create uncomfortable audible pops. However, Ford uses active noise cancelation in the cabin to digitally mask those sounds.
It's that kind of smart technology that the C-Max outpaces any other hybrids offered today. Of course, Ford added all of its current pieces of g-whiz gadgetry to the C-Max to provide it with lots of consumer friendly features.
The C-Max includes the foot-activated liftgate, that allows someone to walk up to the vehicle with her hands full, wave a foot under the bumper and have the hatch open automatically. There's also the active-park assist, that lets a driver quickly parallel park on the street without the stress of trying to squeeze into space manually. Even the fictitious Heart of Gold didn't possess this feature.
Real High Mileage
Ford touts 15 class exclusive features ranging from voice operated Sync and MyFord Touch to the SmartGauge with Eco Guide. Some of Ford's boasting is as silly as an infinite probability drive. Of course no one else offers Ford's infotainment system or voice activated SYNC, that would be illegal. But the C-Max does have some special features.
The SmartGauge is the C-Max's key instrument and uses two small LCD screens bookending an analogue speedometer. The programmable gauges help the driver to eek out as much mileage as possible and monitor his progress.
During one segment of my drive, I was able to achieve 52.5 mpg driving through Los Angeles. The gauges helped change my driving habits to press lighter on the brake and gently touch the accelerator to achieve better scores on the instant readouts. While I've never been keen on hypermiling, the C-Max tricked me into doing just that.
Comfortable and Complete Interior
Inside the cabin, the C-Max provides lots of practical space. Behind the second row there's 24.5 cubic feet of storage space, and if you need more, the pull of one lever quickly folds up the second row and provides 52.6 cubic feet of space.
There are also unexpected amenities that seem to abound inside the cabin such as lots of nooks to store things, a deep center console and 110 volt receptacle in the second row.
With the high roofline, there's plenty of headroom and the well-laid out interior provides more than 40 inches of legroom in the front row and 36.5 inches of legroom in the second row. All of this space means that adults would be comfortable in any seat.
Additionally, the unique ride height makes ingress and egress extremely easy. This is not like some cars that are so low you have to fall into to sit down or so high that you fall out of when you arrive somewhere. You just slide in and go.
Most importantly, the C-Max's interior uses top grade materials throughout the cabin. Everything feels well-crafted with high quality materials. Even the cloth seats in the base model are comfortable (and made of the environmentally friendly soy bean foam).
Final take
While Americans continue to clamor for fuel-efficient vehicles, it's unclear if they have completely fallen in love with gas-electric hybrids. Only the Prius has captured the public's imagination to the point of people buying them in bulk. The Prius continues to outsell all other hybrids combined.
But Ford's plan appears to create its own eco-friendly brand: The C-Max. First comes the hybrid model, and shortly after that, will arrive the C-Max Energi, a plug-in hybrid that will drive 20 miles on electric only power before converting to a regular gas-electric hybrid.
While the C-Max lacks the iconic look of the wedge-shaped Prius, it does arrive with it's European flavored exterior. But more to the point, it provides a better ride, a better interior and, in case of the larger Prius v, better mileage.
It's the pure utility hybrid that's fun to drive. Eco-centric buyers won't be the only people looking at this vehicle – at least they shouldn't be. This nameplate just might have the staying power Ford has always wanted and America has needed. And this is one time, that even in Douglas Adams' world where 47 is truly greater than 42.

Alex SacK's San Francisco TAXI: Rose's 10 Commandments
Let's take a ride… back to cab school!
It's, Taxi Driver: 101
(Music by Alex SacK. Much thanks to Christian Lewis, a.k.a "The Human Tripod" on camera & drums.)
And please remember to exit curbside!
Over the many long rides that we've shared together, you've read much ado regarding your driver's introduction to this, um, "lively" street vocation by way of cab school, of cab school teacher Rose, and her Ten Commandments.
Recall, my passengers, how in the three months long bureaucracy that it takes one San Francisco taxi driving hopeful to achieve legal status, cab school itself is just a regular 'ol one week, forty-hour, Monday through Friday, nine-to-five class. The focus of which, is threefold…
In class, about a third of my crew's time was spent learning about each and every one of the MANY arcane, municipally-concocted taxi regulations – courtesy of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, as well as several Federal regulations to boot, a la the Americans with Disabilities Act. (Why you can't put your passenger's seeing eye dog in the trunk, etc., etc.)
Another third of our time was spent studying (and being tested on) the maps of San Francisco: All the one-way streets, thoroughfares, and as well, the locations of each and every hospital and police station devoted to the service of this fine city. Yet, MOST importantly, every pupil was to memorize ONE address in particular… out in Bayview-Hunter's Point: 1300 Evans. For, THIS was the address of the ONLY United States Post Office which would remain open in San Francisco until MIDNIGHT every year, on April 15. A post office to which you, a San Francisco taxi driver, was ASSURED that you would be traveling to and fro on this date, repeatedly, into the late hours, as ferrying every tax return procrastinator from miles around… until your cab turned into a pumpkin.
Oh! The last third? Well, after Rose's lesson on how taxi drivers were the second most assaulted vocation in North America – after 7-11 cashiers and BEFORE police officers, THIS third of our class time was spent studying, HARD, on how to NOT get killed! (And what to do in the unfortunate event that you were.) Yes, Rose, the great surrogate mother who had birthed all of us classmates into this new, absurd world of driving the streets of San Francisco for pay, spent THIS third of the class time on her gospel, preaching: Rose's Ten Commandments.
Commandment I: ALWAYS keep your doors locked, and the window AT LEAST half rolled up.
Commandment II: If your passenger is wearing a hoodie AND sitting directly BEHIND you, DO NOT put on your seat-belt! (You legally don't have to. The law sees this exemption for cabbies in light of that your passenger is WAY more of a threat to you than any collision at high speed.)
Commandment III: ALWAYS keep one foot on the brake, and one on the gas. And keep it in DRIVE!
Commandment IV: If a passenger's drop is in an alley, always BACK into the alley! (Also, refer back to Commandment III.)
Commandment V: NEVER drive until the fare gives you an EXACT destination.
Commandment VI: NEVER let your fare out of the cab without paying first, or with an "I'll be right back" with left behind collateral! (That "new" Macbook in the box? It's really an old phone book.)
Commandment VII: Thou shalt NOT commit adultery! But, it's ok to drive your passenger there. (Okay, just kidding on this one, folks.)
Commandment VII (For real this time.): When cruising a street festival for fares, roll along a parallel street high ABOVE the festival. (Drunks don't walk uphill very far in search of a cab.)
Commandment VIII: Always stop a few feet BEFORE your flag. (So you can first judge how drunk they are by how badly they're stumbling. Thus, giving you ample time and space for the getaway.)
Commandment IX: NEVER speed, make an illegal U-turn OR an illegal left, run a red light, or break ANY traffic laws WHATSOEVER, JUST because you're fare is "in a HUGE hurry!!!" (They wouldn't be taking a cab in the first place, if they weren't. And no tip, no matter HOW large, is worth more than your livelihood.)
And lastly folks, Commandment X (And one that I think we ALL should heed, taxi driver or no.): ALWAYS keep one eye on the road, and one eye in the rear-view…
Please SHARE if so inclined, folks!

New sites for public media—far outside the realm of public broadcasting—are burgeoning. Now here comes the Iraq Veterans Memorial, which showcases videos made by the family, friends and comrades of fallen soldiers in the Iraq war. This non-partisan site honors the fallen in a way that takes advantage of participatory media technologies, and the site is a platform from which we as members of the public can begin and continued informed discussions about the meaning and cost of U.S. geopolitical strategies. What an excellent example of public media made by and for the public. Check out the site at iraqmemorial.org.
The Center for Social Media showcases and analyzes strategies to use media as creative tools for public knowledge and action. It focuses on social documentaries for civil society and democracy, and on the public media environment that supports them. The Center is part of the School of Communication at American University.

Brian, a former business owner, and successful florist in Downtown Los Angeles was a self-proclaimed Type A personality.
He and his partner Chuck of 22 years lived more than comfortably. "I was always looking for the next thing to buy," Brian explains with a sense of astonishment and a hint of guilt. He worked a lot, loved his job, and enjoyed creating large floral arrangements for huge corporate events all over southern California.
But, in a matter of weeks, that life disappeared into memory, and Brian's life completely changed.
Brian's health had rebounded since his initial AIDS diagnoses in the early 90's, but he was on disability, too weak to work with a few additional health complications. And then Chuck unexpectedly passed away. Due to an unpleasant legal battle over money and assets, Brian was left with no home, no car, and a depleted savings account. Heartbroken and destitute, Brian was forced to decide between spending what little money he had left each month on groceries or his medications.
"Hunger in America wasn't even on my radar," he admits. "Hunger wasn't here, it was distant. When I experienced it, it was quite a shock. The whole experience completely shifted my paradigm. People are hungry."
After his doctor suggested the Laguna Food Pantry several times, Brian finally worked up the nerve to visit. "There's such a social stigma about needing food assistance. But, there's nothing shameful about it."
"They greeted me with open arms. It was amazing to see how generous the staff was. I wasn't going to have food for the rest of the month, and we were only a week into it. The food pantry saved me the strain, stress, and heartache of figuring out what I was going to eat."
Before long, Brian became a volunteer at the Laguna Food Pantry himself—which continues to be the highlight of his week. He enjoys all of the backend work, the food sorting, loading and unloading, and food bag assembly that goes into running such a vital organization so smoothly. "They help me, so I want to help them. I have an immediate connection with everyone I work with." Since Chuck passed away and with limited resources, Brian's social interaction can be infrequent. The food bank has given him a chance to connect with people from all walks of life.
"There are so many people who use the pantry and I get the opportunity to see I am lucky for what I do have, and also see there are people just like me who need the assistance. I am committed to breaking down the social stigma associated with asking for help, because people are really impacted by hunger. This is real life."

01 Mar 2011
In 2010, the US petroleum industry accomplished a feat that not many thought was possible only a few years ago—annual production of crude oil on American soil rose two consecutive years for the first time in almost 25 years. This is incredible, considering the battering this industry suffered during the 2008 financial crisis. The sustainability of this achievement likely will depend on successful economic exploitation of a handful of oil-rich resource plays, all of which will require hydraulic fracture stimulation. These fracs provide conductive paths from the wellbore to the fracture surface area in the formation. However, in most reservoirs fractures are known to collapse if not sufficiently propped. The induce conductivity is intended to convert the wells to successful economic ventures. Economic conductivity principally will be provided (or not) through the type and quality of proppant employed.

"This was perfection," stated Simon Cowell after roller skating duo Billy & Emily England performed Tuesday night on the first live show of "America's Got Talent" 2017. Unlike some of the other acts that prompted heated discussions at the reality TV judges' table, all four — Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel — were unanimous in their praises. Watch Billy & Emily England's live performance above.
After spinning around and around in circles as they have in the past, the brother-sister duo rose up on a small platform into the air. Emily wrapped her legs around her brother's neck and continuing swinging without holding onto anything at all. At one point her skate cut Billy in the face, causing him to bleed. "I just talked about her hip being replaced and you're showing a nick on the nose," joked Mandel to host Tyra Banks.
"You two are so fabulous!" shouted Klum about the popular Season 12 danger act. "Watching you two never gets old. But you did it again. I love you two, you're fantastic."
"I just think what you do is extraordinary," remarked Mel B. "And the way that you do it, it's kind of death-defying. I do believe that you're superheroes and you've got angels watching over you, and your dad is watching you right now and so proud of you."
Do YOU think Billy & Emily England will advance to the next round of "Americas Got Talent" 2017? Sound off about what you think of their latest roller skating performance down in the comments section.

Silent City of Rocks is a 2.2 mile out and back trail located near Albion, Idaho. The trail is good for all skill levels and primarily used for hiking and rock climbing. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
rock climbing
If you're looking for incredible scenery well off the beaten path, great place to hike etc. Drove up from salt lake for the day.
went April 1st- the upper trails were still covered with deep snow drifts but the lower trails were all clear.
Few rock climbers we stopped and watched, apparently busier during the warmer months.
Passed cars and hikers on the roads, but plenty of trails you can put together: never saw another soul once we got out on the trails.
Excellent place to visit. We will return soon.
We didn't hike far to the climb. The climb was superb as a beginner. Camping is outstanding as is watching all of the climbers!

Bust-a-Move has remained one of the most popular puzzle games throughout the years because of its highly addictive gameplay. It's one of those rare titles, in fact, that captivates gamers in spite of its dated graphics. Acclaim's Bust-a-Move 3 is set to release for Nintendo 64 later this year. The big 'A' stopped by IGN offices yesterday and previewed the title, running in high-resolution mode and sporting four-player support.
We managed to grab one movie of the game in action before IGN's art-department and affiliate coordinators took control of the title by hostile force. Addiction can be an ugly thing.

Hickman Adams Va and Ky
I have been searching for many years for the parents of Josiah Adams b. about 1802 who lived in Warren Co. KY. Loads of researchers have him the son of Josiah Adams and Sarah Boswell of Fauquier Co. VA. The problem is, Josiah who married Sarah Boswell did not live in Fauquier VA. He died in Charles Co. MD and left a will which named four children, none of whom was Josiah.
Elizabeth Adams who married Edwin Temple Hickman (volumes of research on this family of Hickmans) was said to be the daughter of Josiah and Sarah and a sister to my Josiah. I do find a strong connection to the Hickmans. Nancy Adams, whom I believe to be my Josiah's sister, married John Hickman who also settled in Warren Co. KY and lived next door to my Josiah. In John Hickman household was Ruth Adams b. in 1804 . John and Nancy married in 1810. I think Ruth and Nancy are sisters and Elizabeth could be Josias' sister also as she was reported to be a redhead and so was my Josias' youngest son.
The research on this Adams bunch is messed up and so many have just accepted what they find on the internet.Is there anyone who could give me a clue to find Josias' real parents?

Buzzfeed has a lot of quizzes and I often find myself sitting on the website, taking quiz after quiz for no reason.
It's fun. It amuses me. And I always want to know if I agree with my results, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
(For example, the Harry Potter quiz told me I should be in Slytherin house…)
As I was wasting my life on Buzzfeed it hit me. Quizzes are a fun way to introduce your book to new people.
Think about it, they answer the questions, find out who or what they are in your novel, and share the results with their friends. Genius. These Buzzfeed people are onto something.
The biggest struggle with creating my own quiz was the technology. Most resources are clunky and do not pair well with my website.
They also do not connect with my email list.
I struggled with how to improve the user experience until I met the founder of Interact Quiz Builder and learned about the tool he created for quizzes.
Using Interact, I created a quiz for my upcoming novel, The Blended Ones. As a result, my website traffic doubled and new leads started pouring into my email list. Take look at the quiz here.
Follow these steps to make your quiz a success.
Keep it simple
Interact comes with quiz templates so all you need to do is plug in your content. Keep it simple, start with 5 or 6 questions and limit it to 4 or 5 answer choices per question. It's easy to get overwhelmed if you start thinking too big.
Use Visuals
The success of BuzzFeed quizzes is largely due to the photos and gifs they use in each quiz. Interact allows you to have a main image for each question, however, each answer choice can also have its own image. Visuals work well to convey your message and keep people moving through the quiz.
Make people think
Your goal is to get people curious about your book so that they will buy and read it. Ask questions that include character personalities that clash, intrigue about the world you created, and tough choices your character likely had to make throughout your novel.
Ask for an email address
This one sealed the deal for me. At the end of the quiz, you can ask people for their email address in order to see their result. However, they don't have to fork over their email address, there's also an option for them to skip that part and receive their answer immediately. Most people read quickly and will drop in their email address, they want to see their result and the "skip" button implies that they might not get it – even though they will.
Use a call to action
After capturing the email address, the result is displayed along with a call to action. While people are automatically encouraged to share via social media, you can choose your own call to action. I ask people to go directly to my book sales page to learn more about the book and order their own copy. If they don't buy immediately, it's okay because they are on my email list and I have freebies, giveaways and more goodies available for them.
Use analytics to improve your lead generation
The best part about Interact Quiz Builder isn't even the ability to use your own branding, add photos, connect with your email software, or embed the quiz directly on your site. What I love about it is the analytics.
I can see how many people have started the quiz, finished it, and how many leads I've gotten so far from it. I can even seen which answer choices are most popular. I must admit, I'm a bit of a data nerd and I love looking at those things, but it helps me know what to improve in the future.
Want to see how it works? Take the quiz: Where does your allegiance lie?
Next time you're searching for a creative way to market your book or even products and services, try using a quiz. It's a better way to build your email address instead of focused on the giveaways and free resources everyone else is offering.
Use Interact to build your own quiz.

The fourth game in the Monkey Island series.
This was the first to use 3D graphics. It was also the second to be available on other consoles, namely the Playstation 2, after the original was released on the Sega CD.
Guybrush's memoirs Edit
Excerpted from "The Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood: The Monkey Island Years"[1]
"Spitting the sand of Monkey Island from my mouth, I began to wonder if the life of a mighty pirate was all it was cracked up to be. I'd ignored recent events that should have been warning shots across the bow of my soul, from my wife's brush with death to the anti-pirate ramblings of Australian gazillionaire Ozzie Mandrill. If only I'd chosen a different path, LeChuck might still be dead, and the mystery of the Ultimate Insult might have remained an enigma. If I'd never picked up a sword, the grog-swilling pirates of the Tri-Island Area might be unthreatened by the twin forces of gentrification and demonic heckfire. If only . . . suddenly, the hairy finger of a familiar monkey tapped me on the shoulder. It was time. Time to stop LeChuck (again). Time to make the world safe for pirates. Time for the biggest battle of my swashbuckling life."
Chapters Edit
Act I - Things to do on Melee When You're DeadEdit
After enjoying a swashbuckling honeymoon, Guybrush and Elaine's ship docks into Melee Island. Upon their arrival, they are surpirsed to hear that the inhabitants thought that Elaine was dead, but worse still, someone has ordered the demolition of the Governor's mansion. Guybrush not only has to stop a catapult, he has to journey to Lucre Island to enlist in the aid of the Marley Family's lawyers. Things go down hill however when Guybrush is framed for robbing the Second Bank of Lucre island, which leads to Guybrush having to clear the Threepwood name by capturing the real culprate, a local villian by the name of Pegnose Pete. While clearing his name Guybrush learns about an Australian land developer named Ozzie Mandrill.
Act II - Enter the ManateeEdit
After returning to Melee Island from Lucre island Guybrush has to find where the Ultimate Insult is, but to do that he needs a strange blue item. Things on the island changed since he was last here, such as the Scumm Bar is no longer the Scumm Bar. Ozzie took control of it while Guybrush was out in Lucre. After finding that the ingredients are on Jumbalaya Island he sails there with the crew and has to find a Silver Monkey Head, a copper hat, and a golden man. Once all of the ingredients are found Guybrush can construct the ultimate insult.
Act III - Escape from Monkey IslandEdit
When Guybrush wakes up ashore on an all too-familiar beach, guybrush has to find a way to escape Monkey island and to combat the powerful alliance of LeChuck and Ozzie Mandrill.
Act IV + - Guybrush Kicks Unusually Large ButtEdit
An all powerful fight between the witty but misguided Guybrush and the powerful but short-sighted LeChuck, piracy is at stake in his fith... through Monkey Combat!

What makes 3@1 different from other printing franchises in South Africa?
South African born and bred, the 3@1 concept is always evolving keeping pace with technological advancement. Our franchisees are carefully monitored to ensure they progress and head office staff offer problem-solving and support wherever needed. Ours is a family run operation that functions on ground level so we are approachable when franchisees need to connect.
Boasting cemented partnerships with DHL International and Kodak International Express photographic provider, our Franchisees can offer an ever-broadening selection of services compared to our competitors.
Other differentiators include:
- Our team offer a full turnkey setup solution in that we manage the 3@1 store opening project from beginning to end
- Entrepreneurial environment: All 3@1 Franchises are owner-operated, allowing for a higher level of service delivery and excellent quality work produced.
- Wide range of services: 3@1's can serve customers with any additional business related service across the board.
- Professional, User-Friendly Environment: 3@1 store design, signage, and merchandising sets us apart by creating a bright, professional, and user-friendly store that is efficiently designed to deliver great service experience. Our last concept upgrade was in 2015.
- Low royalty of 3% ensures more profit in your pocket.
What are the minimum qualifications to become a 3@1 franchisee?
3@1's broad offering and personal support offered by the franchisor team appeal to franchisees from all walks of life, from ex-farmers to recent graduates, corporate players and housewives.
3@1 is looking for innovative thinkers, young and older, with entrepreneurial drive to join its thriving network. Retail and/or management experience will be advantageous, but is not critical. An outgoing personality and a desire to support and service business owners and consumers are key. Most of all an applicant must enjoy building relationships with customers.
How much does a franchise cost?
We currently offer three different store options being:
Standard Store: 50m² – 80m², Full store set-up from R695K ex Vat*
Express Store: 30m² – 45m² Plus Full store set-up from R595K ex Vat*
Kiosk: 15m² – 25m² Plus Full store set-up from R425K ex Vat*
*These amounts exclude your landlords deposit (+- R50 000) and your working capital (+-R120 000).

Initial royalty R2750 ex. VAT or 3% whichever is the greater. Monthly advertising vetting fee of R385 ex. VAT. Social media advertising fee is applicable. Head Office provides a wide variety and constantly updated advertising material/posters/emailers etc. and new tools to help you to grow your business.
What about location? Do I have to find the location on my own?
3@1 Business Centre franchise is a full turnkey offering. Franchisees enjoy the support of the head office team every step of the way; from site selection to securing the lease, then through the planning phase to store set-up, training and the eventual store opening. This may take between 6 weeks to 3 months.
How flexible is 3@1 with respect to operation of the business and the services and products offered?
Our existing franchisees offer Business Cards, broad format Printing, Brochures, Auto CAD Printing, Letterheads, Web Hosting, Flyers, Canvas Prints, Invitations, Pull-up Banners, Board Signs, Posters, Interactive Business Cards, Presentation folders, Digital Prints, CD/DVD Printing on Disc Face, Photobooks, Car Magnets, Vehicle Wrapping, PVC Banners and Backdrops, X-Frame Banners, Plan Copying, Signs, Training Manuals, block mounting, rubber stamps, Mini Banners, Binding, Order Books/ Invoice Books/ Quotation Books, Wire Binding, Textbooks, A-Frames, Contra vision, Branded goods, CD/DVD Duplication, Lamination, Enlargements, CD/DVD Replication, Compliment Slips, Name Badges, Plastic Binding, Menus, Flags, Seating Plans, Building Wraps, Manipulation and Adjustment, Annual Reports, Place Cards, Programmes, Internet services, Newsletters, Floor Graphics, plan printing and Business registrations and much, much more.
Will I need employees? If so, how many?
Introductory training for new franchisees must be completed in our training for approximately one week and takes place in an existing outlet before store opening. The training incorporates an overview of the 3@1 business model, marketing and advertising, store operations, merchandising, customer service and management techniques as well as inventory, cost accounting and general business procedures. After the store opening the franchise team spends a further five to seven days in-store with the franchisee to ensure they and their staff are proficient and comfortable.
What are the hours of operation?
This depends on the shopping centre that your store is located in. Neighbourhood and line centres – 5,5 days a week and in Larger and regional malls shopping centres could be expected to trade 7 days a week with extended hours.
How long does it take to open my 3@1 Franchise?
Once a lease agreement and franchise agreement is signed, it usually takes approximately 30 days to take on the site and 60 days to start to trade. This depends largely on sourcing and securing a site. In the case of a newly constructed shopping centre, the timeframe is often longer.
How can I get a copy of 3@1 Franchise Disclosure Document?
Once you have a completed application form and submitted it with your CV we can begin franchise evaluation process. From there we set a time for a contact interview before we offer you a copy of the disclosure document.

The clinic where she worked was the very first to use Guinot in the UK, being a Crown of Crown clinic, with the brand now dominating the industry and widely recognised as leaders in the field of anti- ageing skincare. During her training, Sam worked with Diamondtome, IPL and Endermology, treatments which all use hi-tech equipment and give fast results and, as a result, she is adept at using Guinot's electrical, high end machines.
Sam joined Napiers Beauty Therapy in 2012 and is now our Senior Aesthetician, heading up our fast expanding team of aestheticians, where she works at the cutting edge of modern skincare, achieving the highest possible results for clients in our clinic. In 2016, she was awarded the title of Guinot Regional Therapist of the Year for all of Scotland. Click here to read more...
Always striving to find the very best new products and treatments, Sam introduced the organic Eminence range to Napiers Beauty Therapy in May 2015. We are one of the few clinics in Scotland to use these exclusive organic products from Hungary and stock the full professional range, concentrating particularly on natural and organic peels.
Caring for the skin is Sam's passion, having always had a profound interest in the way in which the skin can be encouraged to renew and heal itself but having no interest in using botox, fillers or any artificial enhancements. She would much prefer to help and guide a patient in how to get the results they desire naturally, with more long term, non-invasive treatments and therapies. Sam takes a holistic approach to beauty, discussing diet and lifestyle with her clients as well as treatment plans and follow up care. Treating Acne is one of Sam's particular areas of specialism and she has worked with many clients in this area to great effect.
If you wish to find out more information on our practitioners or any of the services we offer, please feel free to contact us and we will gladly help you.
Samantha Todd qualified as an aesthetician in South Africa in 2006 before moving to the UK. She worked as one of the very first Guinot aestheticians in London and she has been passionate about it ever since.

How To Apply For Drivers Ed Online?
Defensive driving school can benefit you whether you're a teenager learning to drive or an adult needing to have a ticket removed, fines and/or driving points reduced or an auto insurance discount. Most people who have never driven, young and old just simply don't know where to start.
For teeneagers, many States require that you take a driver's education course and that you possess a Learner's Permit for a specified period of time. The criteria is generally the same for a person who has never driven and is over the age of 30 and a teenager who is driving for the first time as well.
Obviously, you can not learn to drive a car online, however you can learn many of the laws and rules of the road and take practice tests so you can feel more comfortable in a classroom situation when you take the driving portion of your defensive driver training.
Make sure your defensive driving instructor is licensed and well trained. If you aren't comfortable with your instructor, say so! This is your learning experience that you are paying for, you want to acquire your driving knowledge in the most pleasant way possible.
Many insurance companies offer free defensive driving classes to anyone over 65 that is under their coverage that would like to update their driving skills. Ask if your insurance company offers this service.
Defensive driving and traffic school is a real boon to your driving skills, it's a boost if you've never driven and allows you to reclaim old skills you may have let slide by the way side if you've been driving for years. Look into taking a defensive driving or traffic school class soon, your insurance rates and your driving skills will benefit!
Can You Take Your Learners Permit Test Online?
The DMV driving test does not have to be a stressful experience. If you follow our simple steps...it should actually be one of the most memorable and positive times of your life!
5 steps to passing your test:
- Choose a reputable driving school Driving schools really vary in price. But the phrase "You get what you pay for" has never been more true. Bad schools normally save on costs by cutting corners. They may carry multiple passengers, use older or less safe vehicles, spend less on training of instructors, or even cut lessons short. Good schools will work with you and your parents to be sure you get the most out of every minute of every lesson.Just ask around, and be sure you choose a driving school with a good reputation for quality and value...not just low prices. Is this really the time for "cutting corners?"
- Spread out your lessons If you want to pass the driving test, it is essential that you pace yourself. You have to build a solid base of basic driving skills before you can move on to more complicated things. Some parents might want to give you a "crash course" and throw you right out there into the busy stuff as soon as you get the learners permit, but if you do too much too soon, a "crash" course might be just exactly what you get. You will also get a lot more out of upcoming lessons if you have mastered the material from the previous lesson first.
- Practice a lot with your parents This one is HUGE! You need 50-100 hours of supervised practice time with your learners permit before you should even think about taking the driving test. Whatever it takes, make sure your parents are on board on this one. Make it as pleasant for them as possible to practice with you by taking their advice and being polite with any questions or disagreements. Remember, if you make it unpleasant for them to practice with you, it is you who suffers. You won't get enough practice time with your permit, and ultimately you won't be ready for the DMV driving test.
- Practice the right things Don't just "be the driver" on all of your family errands. You need a lot more practice than that, and you need more variety. If you are only practicing on the way to school, to the store, and to the post office, you are really only practicing a very limited number of driving scenarios, over and over again. The end result will be a limited set of driving skills because of a lack of variety of experience while driving with your learners permit. Ask your parents to take special trips to practice certain skills. Whatever you, your parents, or your driving instructor think you need to work on. Just keep practicing until you get it right every time. That is exactly what your learner's permit is for!
- Take a DMV practice test Most driving schools will offer a DMV practice test as a part of their program. The practice tests will help you to understand what will be asked of you on the real thing, and hopefully show you that you are ready so you can be confident at the DMV. Just be sure to ask the driving school ahead of time what the routine is, and if you need to add a special lesson for the practice test, do it. It is well worth the time and money.
At our school we do a full 90 minutes just focusing on DMV driving test issues. The driving school should put you through a formal practice driving test or two, following the same routine you will be asked to go through on test day.

Windows Explorer has stopped responding
I cannot seem to be able to take a screenshot of the actual problem. I am only able to take a screenshot of what I am doing that is creating the problem.
Anyhow, I am trying to move a photo from my iphone to my PC. This problem occurs no matter where I want to move this photo. Upon trying to move the photo, windows gives me a error saying "Windows Explorer has stopped responding" I let it run and it then comes to another pop up window saying "Windows Explorer is now restarting" I let it run, and it acts like it is going to restart, but it doesn't restart. The screen just blinks.
I've ran windows update several times. I've installed any updates it showed that it needed. I've restarted my pc several times. And nothing is seeming to work right now.
I run on Windows 7. I haven't used my laptop to it's full extent in about 3-4 months. I used to be a hard core gamer on World of Warcraft. I haven't played it in a while since me and my fiance are trying to save every penny for our new home. I have a HP Pavilion dv4. I do not run on Intell. I run on Vision AMD. The last user on my laptop was my fiance but alls he did was make a video for his work. Nothing else, I was directly beside him. He didn't even touch FireFox.
I'd really love to resolve this issue. I've had this laptop between 1-2 years. This is the ONLY problem I've encountered and have ever had with this laptop. I wish laptops could stay problem free
BTW: I am accessing the photos from my iphone via this order

"This is my GF adaptation of Recipe 71732, a much loved and devoured quick bread from my pre GF days. I am THRILLED to say that I think this recipe is as close to the original as GF can possibly be. It is moist, has that perfect heavy hearty texture and tastes simply divine! In my experience using an IMMERSION BLENDER, as opposed to a beater style, results in the creamiest, smoothest batter. As anyone who eats GF can attest to, it is hard to make a GF batter creamy and an immersion blender does this.You do have to use a spatula to ensure that you are getting the ingredients off the bottom and sides of the bowl more than you would with a traditional mixer, but that small inconvenience is worth it to me. I have never made this recipe with a traditional mixer."

November 22, 2016 11:00 ET
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 22, 2016) - Xicato, an established manufacturer and thought leader in intelligent, connected light sources, and EnOcean, the global leader in energy harvesting wireless technology, today announce out-of-the-box interoperability between the Xicato Intelligent Module, Generation 4 (XIM Gen4) and the EnOcean 2.4 GHz BLE portfolio of battery-free, energy-harvesting switches. Together with complementary sensors soon to be available from Xicato and others, these products create a simple, cost-effective solution for California Title 24 and other building code requirements. This solution will be demonstrated in the EnOcean booth #40464 at the CES show in Las Vegas on January 5-8, 2017.
"Xicato and EnOcean have been working together for over a year on this project," said Menko de Roos, CEO of Xicato. "The almost simultaneous launch of XIM Gen4 and EnOcean's compatible Bluetooth switch creates instant lighting solutions that meet and transcend building codes to deliver highly customizable, cost-effective, wirelessly controlled lighting environments of all types."
"Xicato and EnOcean share the commitment to industry leadership in wireless lighting control and the Internet of Things (IoT)," says Dr. Wald Siskens, CEO at EnOcean. "The combination of EnOcean's energy harvesting wireless switches with the powerful features of the XIM Gen4 allows users to create and control simple or complex lighting scenes and effects, and enables simple, flexible installation of lighting applications.

Xicato XIM and XTM modules are the light sources of choice for some of the world's finest museums, retail stores, hotels and residences. XIM Gen4 is available in fixtures from several lighting manufacturers, some of which will be part of the demo in the EnOcean booth. XIM Gen4 can be programmed to respond to any combination of Bluetooth Low Energy switches, motion and lux sensors, and even 1-10V or DALI wired control. Groups, scenes, and "states" are easy to program into the XIM's themselves, eliminating the need for dedicated hubs or controllers.

We won another award again this year and we think you shouldn't care about that. Why you ask? Well let me tell the story..
Every year it comes in waves as companies for each vendor category on major review sites are revealed as the "Couples Choice", "Best of" winners" or some other prestigious honor. Yeah we won again, but so did almost everyone else. How is that? Well I am not sure but I do know that even the most underdeveloped company that meets the minimum criteria will have that same honor as a company that grinds it all year and is on a totally different level. It also has something to do with the review sites themselves to create traffic, sales and all kinds of good things for them.. but what message are they really sending here? What makes this "award" so distinguished?
When I was growing up winning a trophy required you to actually rank in a limited winners circle. I guess as the world evolves more we try not to offend everyone (or anyone) so now everyone is a winner. My son played soccer for about four seasons and his team never won much, and they certainly didn't end up in the winners circle. But they all got gold trophies! I personally never got a trophy unless our team succeeded and beat the other team, and I was ok with that. I think I turned out pretty normal dealing with that let down during my adolescence, But when we did earn a trophy I knew we were champions.
I would like say we have nothing against these review sites, in fact we use them and are elated to be part of it. We have a good relationship with most of them, some more than others. The fact is we live in a world where presence is everything so I get it why any major brand would want exposure. The downside is sometimes the message gets lost in the translation. In this particular instance an award to acknowledge excellence is given out way too much without a really high standard of how to earn it. Let's be honest, if you were shopping for a vendor to provide a service for your once in a lifetime celebration wouldn't you be attracted to the fact a company has "the badge"? This is where it gets tricky and where the consumer has to really do some homework to understand what sets company A apart from company B. In the end you have to know what makes that company so awesome that they deserve that recognition. So here are some ways to come to that conclusion..
It doesn't take reviews or popularity to be at the top of the list. The fact is the more a company pays for a review site listing the higher on the list they will be featured (on most review sites). Higher tier recognition comes with a price. It all depends on the company and what their ROI is for them, but don't be sucked into the first company that pops out at you with the extra pictures & graphics. Take the time to scroll through even the ones that are towards the end can sometimes be worth checking out. It just takes time to weed out the garbage and find the champions.
So what should you look for? Well I am a consumer just like everyone else. The first things I look for are real reviews, and I also look for negative reviews. If you find there are more than a few negative reviews maybe you should be more cautious. Not everyone that writes reviews has the same critical eye you might have, so look for comments that you can appreciate. Recently I was shopping for a custom furniture builder. I was torn between two reputable companies that both had great reviews. In the end I went with the company that had more recent & relevant examples of work. I can't stress it enough CONTENT IS KING especially in the private event industry. When you are looking for the next DJ & production company for your dream wedding wouldn't you want to see tons of content that shared the three R's quality? Relevant, Real & Recent. Relevant being it wasn't just a slew of re-posted articles about random wedding stuff. You want content that is relevant to the service they offer, the proof is in the pudding. Real is just as important. Are you hearing live audio? Or is it visual content over an audio bed only? Are you seeing pictures of the florists work, or some random Pinterest favorites of theirs? Putting it all out there with nothing to hide is a trait I look for as a consumer, I personally don't want to see it sugar coated. And Recent. Who want's to see stale content? Not me. Up to date content shows me consistency and that means a well oiled machine.
In the end always let the company you are considering tell the story of what makes them the best choice. While we think you shouldn't care we won another batch of awards this year that doesn't mean we didn't work hard for it. There are some awesome companies out there ready to ROCK your event and have worked hard to prove it over and over again. I implore you to take the time and look at what is behind the badge. You got this!
