text:
I came across this piece by Peter Osborne in the (UK) Daily Telegraph. He does a great knife job on the Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) group. This was the same group which was caught up a couple of years ago effectively faking signatures on petitions, hoping no one would notice.
The sad thing is that the theme of this article applies in spades to Australia.
Here is some of his story:
ASH is not – like other lobbying groups such as the wonderful Campaign for Real Ale – an emanation of wider civil society. It certainly acts as if it were independent of government, but this is at least in part an illusion. Action on Smoking and Health is what the writer Christopher Snowdon has called, in his superb IEA pamphlet Sock Puppets: How the government lobbies itself and why, a "state-funded activist group".
This means it is a curious phenomenon. So far as I can tell it enjoys very little public support, and certainly very little public (as opposed to state) funding. As Snowden notes, "Once it became clear that ASH would never become the mass movement its founders envisaged, its staff focused on networking with the political and media elite in London."
This technique worked well. For the past quarter century, the British government has paid ASH (and other anti-smoking organisations) to lobby the government. As a result, it has appeared for many years as if mass public opinion was pressing for smokers to be turned into pariahs, when in reality the real pressure was coming from a handful of bureaucrats in the Department of Health.
Politicians of Right and Left have been transfixed by these anti-smoking campaigns. Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, has shown hardly any appetite to challenge the conventional wisdom of his own department, while Luciana Berger, the shadow health minister, is a breathless proselytiser for the anti-smoking lobby. No mainstream politician has dared to challenge the consensus, and only Rothmans-puffing Nigel Farage of Ukip really gets the point.
I believe something is changing in Britain. George Osborne's Budget, with its tax cut for beer and bingo and permission for people to take charge of their own savings, has caught a wider mood of national rebellion against bossy government. I noticed that when Question Time debated smoking in cars a few weeks ago the biggest round of applause was against the anti-smokers.
This new politics of personal maturity is a problem for Ed Miliband. As Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin show in their important new study of Ukip, Labour has abandoned that sector of the population which used to be known as the working class. Mr Miliband's Labour instead is in danger of becoming the party of the public-sector workers, the health and safety experts, the Brussels bureaucrats, the quangos and the wider political directorate.
This means that he is in danger of turning into the moral and intellectual heir of Douglas Jay, the post-war cabinet minister who informed the electorate that "the gentleman in Whitehall really does know better what is good for people than the people know themselves".
This gives the Conservatives an opportunity. They should, of course, acknowledge that the anti-smoking lobby has achieved good things. But it is time for ministers to wake up and ask exactly who it is that ASH and other anti-smoking organisations represent, and why and on what basis the state is paying for them. It's time to loosen the laws against smoking in pubs. It's time to treat smokers as grown-ups and not pariahs. It's time to remember what it means to be a Conservative.

About Using a Weight Loss Calculator
A weight loss calculator is something to use when you are trying to count calories to lose weight. Creating a calorie deficit healthily is the best way of losing weight. This means that you need to burn more calories than you are eating every day. The food news is that a calculator for weight loss will help you in more ways than just calculating the calories that you have eaten.
What a Weight Loss Calculator Tells You
To start with, the calculator will help to calculate just how many calories your body needs. You need to eat a minimum amount just to be able to sleep and sit down. When you add more exercise and movement into your day, you will need more calories. A calculator will work out your needs based on your current BMI – which is determined with your height and weight. This is only an estimate.
You will need to check the labels to determine the amount of calories that you have eaten during the day. There are some foods, like fresh fruit and vegetables, that have no labels so you will need to check the internet for that. Add these up during the day to make sure that you eat fewer calories than your body will burn.
As you create the calorie deficit, your body will take the calories from your body that have been stored up over the years. It is up to you to make sure that those calories come from the fat and not the muscles, which means that you need to do some exercise. This is also a great way to burn more calories too in case you have eaten too many one day.
How the Calculator Helps You
Something that a calculator will be able to help with is determining the food groups that the calories are coming from. You should not eat more than 30 percent of your calories from fatty products and should aim for 60 percent being from carbohydrates. The other 10 percent needs to come from protein. You will usually need the internet to help you work these figures out.
Once you know your calorie intake for the day, you need to start tracking what you eat. This was originally done in a notebook, where the food and calories in would be written down, along with the calories burned during the day. It is important to be sensible with this because this can become obsessive. The last thing you want to do is track so much that you develop an eating disorder.
Using Websites to Help With Tracking
There are websites that can help you and a calculator will also be useful. This will help you to put in the calories and add them on or take them away during the day. Websites also have the ability to help you track your food and exercise in a healthy way. The method that you choose is completely personal.
It is worth looking at a weight loss calculator to help you out. These are free and quick. Just remember to eat healthily while on your diet and keep up with exercise.

Feb. 28, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Florida State men's tennis team (9-3) returns to the Scott Speicher Tennis Center this weekend for the first time in three weeks. The Seminoles welcome No. 15 Texas on Friday, March 1 at 3:00 p.m. and No. 75 USF on Sunday, March 3 at noon.
Friday will be a special Black Out match as both the men's and women's teams will be playing at the same time. Free Piggy's BBQ will be given to the first 50 fans while t-shirts will be handed out to the first 100. This is a unique opportunity for fans to watch both programs at the same time.
"It's a strong weekend playing against one of the best teams in the nation in Texas and one of our in-state rivals with USF," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "We want to have a lot of fans cheering on our teams this weekend. It's a great opportunity for our fans to come out and watch both of our teams playing at the same time against top teams in the nation."
Florida State is 0-8 against Texas and lost to the Longhorns 4-2 last season. Beating the Bulls 7-0 last year, the Seminoles have played better against USF with a 24-20 record.
No. 89 sophomore Dominic Cotrone leads the Seminoles with a 10-2 mark while senior Anderson Reed is 9-2 in singles. Sophomore Benjamin Lock is next with a 9-3 singles record.
Having only lost two doubles point the entire season, the Seminoles are led by senior Jordan Kelly-Houston and Reed who had a 6-1 mark this spring. Cotrone and freshman Michael Rinaldi have a 5-3 record while senior Andres Bucaro and Lock are 4-2.
With 71 all-time doubles wins, Bucaro is just three wins away from entering the top ten list at Florida State. Reed is just four wins away with 70 career doubles wins.
The Seminoles are hosting an Open House at the Indoor Tennis Facility on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until noon.
"Saturday is a great chance for people to see a premier indoor facility that a lot of people in Tallahassee don't know about it," said Hultquist. "I'm glad people have a chance to see what it is like."

The impressive casting on Damages continues. This morning at the Television Critics Association press tour, FX's president John Landgraf announced that Marcia Gay Harden will be a new series regular in Season 2. Harden joins two other recent additions – William Hurt and Timothy Olyphant. Like series star Glenn Close and Hurt, Harden -- recently seen in The Mist -- is an Academy Award winner, for her role in Pollack. I'd say Damages is currently winning any competition for "most prestigious cast on a TV series."
Landgraf had one other big casting announcement for Damages, one that answers a big question from the end of Season 1 – Ted Danson is back as Arthur Frobisher. Landgraf said Danson will be appearing in several episodes in Season 2. Asked for a "health update" on Frobisher, who was in a dire situation when last we saw him, Landgraf replied, "He's not terribly healthy at the moment, but as you now know, he did survive."

On a day when Rep. Nancy Pelosi should have been celebrating the Supreme Court victory of the sweeping health care reform that she helped pass, the House minority leader instead found herself in the middle of another partisan whirlwind.
Last week, in response to a House committee's vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt for refusing to turn over documents relating to the Fast and Furious gun-trafficking scandal, the San Francisco Democrat called the vote a partisan gambit.
Specifically, she said Republicans were targeting Holder for opposing so-called "voter fraud" laws in states such as Florida — which she correctly portrayed as attempts to suppress Democratic-leaning voters at the polls.
Then Thursday, as the GOP-controlled House was voting to censure the attorney general, Pelosi led many of her colleagues as they walked off the House floor in protest.
The conservative response to Pelosi's efforts was sadly predictable. South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy recommended that she visit a shrink. Rush Limbaugh declared, "We need a new planet called Stupider, and I need to put Nancy Pelosi on it as the mayor." San Francisco Chronicle columnist Debra Saunders declared, "Nancy Pelosi is walking proof that so-called centrist Democrats live on the far-left fringe."
Tough words. But consider the career of Rep. Darrell Issa, who chairs the committee that held Holder in contempt, and you will realize who the real extremist is.
After a young adulthood notable for such tawdry escapades as separate arrests for allegedly stealing a car and carrying a concealed weapon, Issa made a fortune in the car-alarm business, which he eventually parlayed into a seat in the House of Representatives. When that bored him, he amused himself by instigating the 2003 recall of Gov. Gray Davis — Issa's first, but not last, attempt to paralyze the government for partisan gain. When Republicans won the House majority in 2010, Issa declared that he would use his new power as chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee to hound President Barack Obama, whom he dubbed "one of the most corrupt presidents in modern times."
Since then, Issa has rigorously pursued every possible partisan angle, from the Solyndra bankruptcy to a $730 million federal loan to a Michigan-based, Russian-owned steel company.
Many of these subjects — including Fast and Furious — are worthy subjects to investigate. But throughout his tenure, Issa has undermined other investigations for purely political reasons. Ranking Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings has spent more than a year trying to investigate banks that illegally foreclosed on the homes of military veterans. Issa has shot down every attempt to hold the nation's banks to account.
Issa's most notoriously partisan act came in February, when his committee was digging into whether Obama's health care reforms would violate the right of lay Catholic groups to deny contraception coverage to female students. Issa denied a Democratic committee member's main witness the right to speak at the hearing, leading to the spectacle of an army of priests and monsignors testifying about women's sexual health. Democrats were forced to hold a separate hearing, at which a Georgetown law student named Sandra Fluke testified and was later called a "slut" by Limbaugh, Issa's obstructionist peer.
Issa is a partisan back-bencher. But he holds the power of subpoena, and he isn't ashamed to use it for venal reasons. Pelosi has called him on it, and she can be proud of her words and deeds.

Vikings Season 4 Trailer. History's Vikings Season 4 TV Show Trailer stars Travis Fimmel, Clive Standen, Gustaf Skarsgård, Katheryn Winnick, Alyssa Sutherland and Alexander Ludwig. The newest trailer shows Ragnar Lothbrok (Fimmel) and Rollo Lothbrok (Standen) at odds once more with plenty of blood shed at sea and on land. Ragnar has suffered many betrayals and will suffer more in Season 4.
It appears Floki (Skarsgård) will face an agonizing sentence as retribution for murdering Athelstan (George Blagden). Last we saw, Bjorn (Ludwig) had become a father. Now, Bjorn looks eager for leadership and it is clear he may be acting as his father's right hand during the next season. Lagertha (Winnick) was weighing marriage against war as a way to regain her earldom, and here she is covered in blood. Rollo was set to marry a hostile French princess and, yet, he is being wooed by the French king. It looks like Princess Aslaug (Sutherland) is worried about the line of succession and her place in the kingdom if Ragnar dies. The trailer hints at internal and international power struggles, domestic violence, more visits by the gods, more bloodshed, magic and madness. Everyone looks pretty badass.
With so much rich history to draw from, Ragnar's story and his sons' stories have many years of political and personal twists to portray. I am looking forward to what looks like a thrilling fourth season in Ragnar's camp. How about you? Source: history.com, Imdb.
Vikings premieres February 18 at 10/9c on the History Channel. Check out the trailer for Vikings Season 4 below:

Pee Valve
Jobs underwater can be long, and returning the surface to pee sometimes just isn't an option. While peeing in your wetsuit may be pretty standard procedure among scuba divers, drysuit divers might get a lot more funny looks for doing the same. These pee valve systems for men and women eliminates pee anxiety for divers planning on spending extended periods of time underwater while wearing drysuits of various brands. These are comfortable to wear and easy to attach to your gear. If there are any questions about compatibility, please give us a ring at (888) 728-2252.

In this season, Deep Space Nine really kicked it up a notch. The Dominion finally rears it's ugly head and things will never be the same on the show...in a good way. The show really began to take on great continuity in this season and there were hardly ever any really throw-away episodes.

DS9 Season Three - The series suspense is building...
K. Wyatt | St. Louis, MO United States | 07/29/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"DS9's third season proved to be quite a pivotal season and a great buildup to the following seasons. Throughout the course of the season, several questions were answered and several new ones were introduced, leading up to an instrumental and somewhat ominous season finale in which a Founder tells Odo "you're too late, we're everywhere." That one sentence made for a long summer at that time, leaving fans in throes of anticipation for the fourth season. Important developments of the third season were the addition of the Defiant, additional back stories on the Dominion and its makeup, to include finding out who Odo's people are and the series taking on a more "serialized" tone.I highly recommend this DVD set, the two previous seasons and the remaining four seasons, to any and all fans of Star Trek, especially those who didn't quite give DS9 a chance in its beginning because you will find that DS9 represents some of the best Star Trek to date.Standout episodes of the season: (They all stand out, but space is limited)The Search Parts I & II - As a grand conclusion to season two's "The Jem'Hadar" and setting up season three through seven in the "epic" of Deep Space Nine, these two episodes are extraordinary. It is from this point you know as a viewer that DS9 has a sense of purpose. Here we find out where Odo comes from and the terrible truth that revelation brings about.The House of Quark - In this hilarious Quark episode, by a twist of fate, he becomes the head of a Klingon house. Robert O'Reilly makes a return as Gowron, Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. This is another brilliant Ferengi/humor episode.Equilibrium - In this extremely compelling and captivating episode, Jadzia begins having hallucinations for no apparent reason. Then it becomes clear that she may lose her symbiont, thus her life as well. She finds out that she has not been told of "every" host the Dax symbiont has had. The ending to episode is quite beautiful.Second Skin - This episode epitomizes why DS9 is such an exceptional series! Kira is kidnapped and altered to appear as a Cardassian and told that she is a deep under cover agent of the Obsidian Order.Defiant - In this poignant and ominous episode, Thomas Riker makes an appearance, hijacks the Defiant as part of a Maquis operation and then takes her to Cardassian territory intent on uncovering a large fleet of Cardassian warships he "believes" are preparing to head into the DMZ.Past Tense Parts I & II - This two hour episode is quite possibly the most stunning and moving episode of the entire season. Sisko, Bashir and Dax attempt to transport to Starfleet Headquarters but due to unexpected circumstances are transported to the year 2024 in the midst of one of the most crucial historical reference points for Earth and the Federation.Heart of Stone - This fascinating episode involves Kira and Odo making their way back to DS9 but they intercept a Maquis ship and follow it down to a moon in the hopes of capturing the solitary occupant. This episode is relatively important in lifting the vale on some of Odo's feelings.Destiny - This episode is a perfect example of the beauty of the epic "saga" that is DS9 as it brings in Sisko's role as the Bajoran Emissary when the mission of trying to set up a communications array on the other side wormhole has been prophesized some three thousand years ago by a Bajoran prophet.Prophet Motive - In this uproarious and brilliant Ferengi episode Grand Nagus Zek shows up on DS9 and he's totally rewritten the Rules of Acquisition towards a "not for profit" bent and Quark is beside himself with "grief."Visionary - This is a brilliant O'Brien episode in which he unexpectedly finds himself time shifting around the station while at the same time, Romulans and Klingons are aboard.Through the Looking Glass - This is another superb "Mirror, Mirror" episode that became a highly looked forward to annual episode of every season!Improbable Cause & The Die is Cast - These episodes constitute two of the finest hours of Star Trek. Garak survives what is seemingly an "assassination" attempt and Odo steps in to investigate. Before long, we have the Obsidian Order, the Tal Shiar, the Jem'Hadar and Starfleet involved, setting up what will be the arc that carries this series.Explorers - In this beautiful episode Sisko decides to build an Bajoran solar sailing vessel to prove that the Bajorans used these ships to get to Cardassia eight centuries earlier..Family Business - This is another terrific and humorous Ferengi episode in which Quark is shut down by the Ferengi Commerce Authority because his "Moogie" has been earning profit and he must find a way to stop it or he'll be financially destroyed.Facets - This brilliant episode involves Jadzia and her need to complete her "zhian'tara," a Trill ceremony where her friends temporarily receive the memories of her past hosts. This episode played wonderfully as the main characters assumed the roles of these past hosts.The Adversary - In this exceptional season finale, Sisko is promoted to Captain and given the mission to attempt to stop a full scale war between the Federation and the Tzenkethi, or are they as they soon find that there is a changeling aboard the Defiant. The beauty of this episode plays out in the last scene. {ssintrepid}Special Features:The Birth of the Dominion and BeyondMichael Westmore's Aliens - Season Three

DS9 Comes Into Its Own
Adam Dukovich | 03/01/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The third season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was a pivotal one in the series. The groundwork for the series was finally laid, and the show finally moved from a TNG-picaresque storytelling style to a true story arc, when we finally get the first taste of the storytelling that would make Deep Space Nine a truly great show.The season begins with The Search, which formally introduces the Dominion, a powerful empire led by 'changelings' with anymosity for the 'solids'. The episode also features the Starship Defiant being introduced to the station, thus altering the dynamic of the series drastically, and some reticent fans who didn't like the idea of a show about a space station finally jumped on board. There are exciting action episodes, such as Defiant and Civil Defense, a time travel adventure in Past Tense with gentle social commentary, and an astonishingly good Garak two-parter (Improbable Cause, The Die is Cast). Life Support features the departure of Kira's love interest with dignity and honor, and Explorers is the kind of warm character-based story that the show could never make enough of. Also highlights include a trip back Through the Looking Glass and the genuinely suspenseful The Adversary, which has Sisko promoted to Captain, continues the storyline of shapeshifters infiltrating Alpha Quadrant civilizations, and the drama of Odo killing one of his own.Once again, the acting and character development are exemplary. Sisko becomes interested in Bajoran history, which indicates a possible growing comfort with his unwanted role as the planet's spiritual leader. Jeffery Combs is indespensable as both the antipathetic Brunt and the ingratiating, pleasant Weyoun, the Dominion's mouthpiece. Odo goes through the most turmoil in this season, learning of and turning his back on his people, being constantly frustrated on his affections for Major Kira, and finally killing another shapeshifter. All of this angst is pulled of admirably by Rene Auberjonois. Garak finally gets a storyline revolving around him, and it turns out to be the best two-parter that DS9 ever produced. All of this sets the scene for the rest of the series."
Shapeshifiting to interesting themes during season 3
Wayne Klein | My Little Blue Window, USA | 06/07/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Season 3 of DS9 is where things got really intesesting.During the first season and part of season two all the key pieces for the ensuing conflict that would continue throughout the course of the series. Like B5's Shadow War, the Dominion-Federation War, would be center stage during season 3. Sisko finally gets a ship that can hold its own against many of the Jem Hadar spacecraft. The Defiant is an "overpowered, overgunned craft" that providesa a way for Sisko and company to meet, greet and defeat(as well as be defeated)oncoming advesaries.In the opening two part episode, Sisko and his crew take the Defiant into Dominion space in an attempt to discover who and where the Founders are. Unfortunately, the Defiant is taken down too easily to make the episode credible. Still, it does provide a unique glimpse into the ideal presented by Founders and the reality of their civilization as they try and seduce Odo to join them."Defiant" also provides an opportunity for NextGen actor Jonathan Frakes to appear on DS9. As Riker, he charms Kira into giving him a tour of the Defiant in order to steal it. Written by NextGen writer Ronald Moore and directed by Cliff Bole, it's an interesting and intense episode well acted by Frakes. The episodes "Second Skin","The Abandoned" and highly acclaimed two parter "Past Tense" (a transporter accident hurls Sisko and company across time and space to Earth during a conflict in the year 2024. A key figure of the past Gabriel Bell attempts to help Sisko and Bashir during a fight. Bell is killed prematurely thus altering history and forcing Sisko to take the man's identity to ensure the continuity of his world. "Life Support" provides a serious look at the ethics of artifical life support. The character of Vedic Bareil suffers from brain damage during an attempt to resuscitate him. Bashir gradually replaces Bareil's brain with implants making his contribution to peace talks possible but robbing him of his humanity in the process."Improbable Cause" gives us further background on Garak. Garak chooses to rejoin his mentor Enabran Tain in a combined assault with the Romulans against the Dominion.There are many other fine episodes during the third season worth noting. Most important, though, is the doubt cast on Odo when his relationship with the Dominion's Founders becomes clear and the introduction of a new Star Trek security chief Michael Eddington played by the Marvelously oily Kenneth Marshall. The extras are nicely put together and all appear on the last disc in the set. The most interesting are the Birth of the Dominion and Beyond, Time Travel Files: "Past Tense", Sailing Through The Stars: A Special Look At "Explorers" and the crew dossier on Odo. The 5.1 remix on the audio gives additional depth to the episodes making them more cinematic and allows one to finally hear all the detailed sound effects buried in the stereo mix of the broadcast episodes. Unlike Season 1, Season 3 features 26 episodes and the transfers are pristine. Although not flawless (how could they be with minor analog artifacts? and an occasinally slightly blurry look to some of the episodes), they are among the best in a well designed boxed set. The lack of a booklet providing credits and a basic outline of the plot is still a problem. I suppose Paramount figured that most folks purchased the DS 9 Companion. In fact, the third season transfers put the 2nd season transfers of many of the B5 episodes to shame. Obviously great care was taken and, unlike early Trek NextGen episodes, there's rarely any of the compression problems one would expect. What's amazing (and easy to forget) is how well structured and written DS9 was; while it follows the Trek formula a little too closely at times, DS9 takes a number of risks that never occurred to the makers of the earlier Next Gen and of later series Voyage and Enterprise. I'd recommend the DS9 Companion in addition to the boxed set. Unfortunately, DS9 doesn't come with any booklets (unlike the fine synopsis in each boxed set of B5). It's hard for many fans to remember which of the cryptically titled episodes features what. Another drawback to the boxed set is the lack of any writer/director/cast/producer commentary tracks. I would have been interested in hearing producer Michael Pillar's and writer Ira Behr's comments on the key episodes "Past Tense 1 &2". I'm surprised given the wealth of extras here, that Paramount hasn't sprung for two or more cast commentaries as it would make the hefty cost a bit more understandable. I'd definitely recommend seeing season 3 prior to seasons 4 & 5 as they outline the background for those seasons and the conflicts between the characters of Eddington, Sisko, Odo and Kira. While DS9 3 isn't a perfect set, it features nearly flawless transfers with a wealth of documentary extras that will be of interest to Star Trek fans. Always the Rodney Dangerfield of the Trek family when Next Gen was on, DS9 is still among the best written and detailed series (outside of B5)created during the90's."

One thing that I hear alot is "I'm on this server because so-and-so that I know/am related to plays here" when asking why someone rolled on a particular server. I know that personally, I have a bias to servers with people that I know.
Unless I'm trying to escape!
Currently, both my father, my brother, my brother in law (to be), my husband (to be), my daughter (at FOUR!), my sorta sister in law and her husband, my sorta brother in law and most of my friends play WoW and are all scattered on different realms. What this means is that I have alot of alts on different realms and have to find ways to make sure that no one feels neglected – for example, if I play on a Friday, you'll most often find me playing Darini on Kel'Thuzad with my friend Sara. On days that I get the chance to raid, you'll find me playing Tenaya on Azuremyst with my Guild there, The Prophecy. Otherwise, I tend to play alts on assorted servers. Sammanra (on Zangarmarsh) is a completely new character on a server where I know no one – she's an escape character. *grins*
How do family and friends impact YOUR playing style?
One type of server that I've never played on are RP servers – I don't know anyone who plays consistently on RP servers. I've given it thought though and might reroll on one just to see what it's like. Any suggestions for servers/factions?

McMullen completed £100,000 refurbishment of The Rising Sun as a part of continued tenant investment programme
Hertford based family brewer, McMullen, has completed a major refurbishment of local pub The Rising Sun near Hitchin after investing £100,000 in the site, leading to a 25 per cent increase in footfall since it was re-opened.
The substantial refurbishment has introduced a conservatory extension to the side of the building, drastically increasing the amount of covers. The interior of the pub, which was acquired by McMullen in 1904, has also had a considerable internal facelift and the toilets have been improved significantly. The beamed ceiling and brasses have been exposed to restore the old world charm of the pub.
Following the three month long refurbishment landlords, Natalie and Nigel Brown had a fantastic launch party to show off the new look to their locals, which was well received by all.
Gavin Mansfield, McMullens' Tenancy Operations Manager commented: "It is amazing to see the pub performing so well so soon after the refurbishment. The investment is part of our ongoing commitment to our tenants to improved retail competitiveness, ensuring both parties have a long term sustainable earnings and making sure the drive and ambition of our outstanding landlords are reflected in the pubs.

#Pray2014 : Praying to Know God (January)
You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.
I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.
On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.
Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.
I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.
Those who want to kill me will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.
They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
(Psalm 63)
It wasn't your decision to seek Christ.
It wasn't your decision to become a Christian.
These statements may, at first glance, seem contrary to our self-understanding; they are absolutely true. You see, before you and I can seek out God, God must first seek us out.
As Jesus said, "No one can come to me, except the Father, which as sent me, draws him." (John 6:44) And so the impulse to pursue God comes from God, but the determination to follow this impulse comes from us–if, and when, we decide to follow hard after him.
Now, to know God is not the same thing as knowing his Word, or knowing his Church. God is personal, God is spirit, God is in depending from his church and his word. While we can learn much about Him from these sources, if we really want to know God, we must seek out God–which is easier said than done. This seeking out of God is a spiritual journey, and will take both determination and discipline, but is well worth the effort.
As A. W. Tozer once put it, "It is tragic in modern evangelicalism how we focus so much on the act of 'accepting' Christ and so little on the action of 'knowing' Christ." He went on to say, "Complacency is the deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted–too bad that with many of us he waits so long, so very long, in vain."
Praying the Bible–Knowing God
I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. (Phil 3:10)
As we begin our prayer journey together, we will focus on seeking and knowing God. This month, we will not ask for anything but his presence and we will not request anything except his grace to help us focus on the task of knowing him better.
During the month of January, we have four Bible Prayers to work through. Focus on one each week, and read them regularly. As you read them, pray these passages, over and over again if you must, but your goal is to internalize the desire of these writers in your own life. As you read, pray, and meditate on these prayers. Consider the short note about A. W. Tozer, and challenge yourself with a new desire to let nothing come between you and knowing God better.
Four Bible Prayers about Knowing God
Try to repeat the reading every day for the week specified. If you cannot do this, simply read it as often as you can, and focus on God's presence.
- Week One: Psalm 63 – the attitude we need to know God better
- Week Two: Phil 3:1-14 – pray verse 10 as a prayer
- Week Three: Exod 33:12-23 – pray verse 18 carefully
- Week Four: John 14:1-14 – pray verse 8, listen to Jesus' response
Digging Deeper:
- The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer
- The Book of Jonah
- John 14-17
A. W. Tozer was a pastor and theologian during the 20th century. He pastored both in Chicago and Toronto for the Alliance church, and was considered one of the great theologians of the past 100 years. But Tozer was best known for his lifelong commitment to know God.
Self-educated, because he did not have the opportunity to attend either high school or college, Tozer wrote over 40 books, one of which is called "The Pursuit of God." In this book he challenges Christians to endlessly seek after God saying, "God wills that we should push on into His presence and live our whole life there. This is to be known to us in conscious experience. He is more than a doctrine to be held; He is a God to be enjoyed in every moment of every day."
This month, challenge yourself to be aware of how much time you spend distracting yourself from seeking after God and try to create regular time and space to just be aware of His presence.

It is impossible to learn algebra in one day, but you can familiarize yourself with the basic concepts that build to everything else. Algebraic equations and inequalities are solved by isolating variables. Algebra also works with integers, or positive and negative numbers. Adding a negative number is the same as subtracting a positive number, and vice versa. When multiplying or dividing integers of opposite signs, the result is negative; when they are the same sign, the result is positive.
You should also learn the notations of algebra, such as coefficients. If you see the term 4x, it means that 4 is multiplied by the value of x. Similarly, 4/x means 4 divided by x, and multiplication can also be represented by an asterisk.
When solving equations, follow the order of operations and do the same operation to both sides of the equation to keep it balanced. When possible, perform the expressions in parentheses, then exponents, then multiply or divide, and finally add or subtract.
Finally, when working with equations, you can only add or subtract like terms. These are terms that have the same variable and exponent, such as 3x and 6x; you can combine them because you know x has the same value.

The Philadelphia Eagles re-signed Michael Vick on Monday to a one-year deal for the 2013 season, the team announced. Vick could make as much as $10 million next season, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
This contract replaces the long-term contract Vick had signed in 2011 and he now is scheduled to be a free agent after next season.
But this season he will quarterback new coach Chip Kelly's offense. Kelly will address the media at a news conference later Tuesday.
"I feel like this is the perfect situation for me. After talking with Chip and looking at the offense, I wanted to be here," Vick told Yahoo! Sports.

Does anyone have Logic Pro 9 working in Mavericks? Any new issues?
Not so far works perfectly! They just released the 10.0.4 for it too so I'm pretty sure its stable.
Are you running 9 or X or both? Thanks!
i'd love to hear about 9 in mavericks. i'm not ready to switch to X yet - or even ML.
right now everything works
It's not an immediate issue for me. My Mac mini won't run Mavericks, but I really don't want to have to spend another $200 on top of a computer upgrade just to keep my current software if Logic 9 won't run on the new machine.
I have both 9 and X and they both run fine on Mavericks. I don't know why, but I am always using Logic 9 more than X. I guess its just an issue with me adjusting to the new look (even though not much has changed except the transport bar).
I would stick with 9 for a while...most of the things in 9 are still the same in X. Mavericks, on the other hand, is a rockin' for me - especially since it is a free download. It gave my MBP an extra hour of battery life from ML. :
Thank you! That's quite a relief for me...
I can confirm 9 is working in Mavericks. Mavericks is awesome!
Logic Pro 9 Lagging in Mavericks
My Logic Pro 9 is really lagging in Mavericks...I can hear my production but cannot see any scroll in the arrangement area and no visual volume meters in the mixer area. GRRRR!!!!
I have an iMAC, 21.5-inch, Mid 2010, Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3, Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, Graphics ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
Currently running Logic Pro 9 on OS X 10.9....Please Help!!!
I have Macbook Pro Late 2011, 8 Gb of RAM, and Logic 9 runs significantly worse under Mavericks. Say, I press "Sends" drop-down menu in the Channel Strip, the menu appears and gets frozen for 5-10 seconds, and I can't really do anything during this time and have to wait until it un-freezes. I also encountered problems with dragging notes in Piano Roll -- when I was dragging a note, it wasn't visible until it is released (very inconvenient). Same happened to audio and MIDI regions -- you start to copy-drag something and can't see where you're gonna drop it. I guess I would downgrade back to previous OSX version if it wasn't so much hassle, since the Logic 9 is the program I use really a lot (and I don't want to move on onto Logic X).
Issues with Logic Pro 9 In Mavericks
Ahh... I wish it was smooth! Since 'upgrading' to Mavericks, Logic has started to exhibit a host of problems for me. After a certain amount of time using the program, I often get increasingly aggressive audio glitches until I have to restart my iMac. Once a project is using a large amount of CPU & RAM, I get the same 'freezing' problem as mentioned by another poster here. And once every few days, it randomly gives me a spinning beach ball of death, and I have to restart the computer.
I have already lost some work to this last problem, and as a whole these issues, combined with no actual improvements whatsoever from a professional standpoint, mean that using the new OSX has damaged my productivity.
Based on the really positive early feedback on Mavericks, I broke a crucial rule of using a computer for professional purposes; namely - NEVER update your OS without a few months of waiting, and some trusted opinions. I can see that not too many people are having these problems, but all that does is turn upgrading from suicide to Russian roulette.
I am still on Logic 9 and 10.8. No plans to upgrade either.
logic pro 9 in mavericks
upgraded last night to mavericks .all the sudden crazy latency issues..went from lowest buffer size to highest..everything seems like its lagging..mac book pro late 2012 model 8 gigs i5 64 bit
Strange, it's really working fine for me on a 2009 mac mini, base model 8 gigs, SSHD. I'm running an Apogee. Could it be a problem with your audio device?
I had a few issues with 9 under Mavericks but managed to wangle a free upgrade to X. No issues now
I'm not going anywhere near "Mav" for a while, don't see the need.
I have L9 and LX working in ML 10.8.5 perfectly, in either 32 or 64bit
modes which is very cool.
Getting used to "X" won't take long, it's all there just looks a little different.
There is also the free "Logic Themes" which has become a bit of a cool thing.
"Theme switcher" was released from a clever guy in the US, so now Logic X
can look like an SSL or like pro tools or Ableton OR even Logic 9 !!
Here's a link : http://lts.coldpressgroup.com
I have tried around 8 themes and settled on one that was close to normal X
but just a little lighter and easier to read etc.
Would anyone have a working copy of reason and logic that would run on Mavericks? I got my macbook Pro today with el Capitan installed but I can see that nothing is running on it. Anyone? I think i may have to downgrade to Mavericks. Please help! Must start recording by tonight!

Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified developer Nihilistic Software revealed new details about Call of Duty: Black Ops Declassified today. First, the developer said it would "love" to include Zombies, but said on Twitter that "Only Activision and Sony have the power to greenlight Zombies mode for CoD Vita. We would love to do it if they ask. But it's not our call."
Later, Nihilistic wrote that "development is crossing the finish line" and added that whether or not the game will have downloadable content is "up to Activision," reiterating that "nothing has been announced."
The studio tweeted that there will be six multiplayer maps and also revealed that Black Ops Declassified will have seven killstreaks, including Spy Plane, Care Package, Counter-Spy Plane, Mortar Strike, Sentry Gun, Advanced Spy Plane and Attack Helicopter. Meanwhile, the multiplayer modes were also revealed and will include Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed Deathmatch, Drop Zone, Free-for-All and Team Tactical, which shuffles the other modes. Another tweet says "No theater mode and no additional game modes have been announced." Nihilistic also confirmed that the minimum number of players in private matches is two, and the maximum is five. As for classes, there will be "5 Preset classes, 5 Custom slots, and 1 'Near Shared' class slot."
Another tweet said there will be no killcams, and Nihilistic confirmed the wave-based "Hostiles" mode is single-player only. As for multiplayer, private matches will be created using the Party app, and hybrid "private + public" matches will be created if your party is less than eight players.
In addition, a later tweet adds that "Back touch is used for breath holding in Sniper scope mode. Melee is activated by touching anywhere on front except buttons." The studio added that "Activision's central audio group was very helpful in capturing the authentic audio for weapons in the game" and that development by Activision "started about a year ago" and Nihilistic "were brought in shortly thereafter."
Black Ops Declassified is set to hit Vita in November, though a specific date has yet to be revealed. For much more info on the game, including how we think it's shaping up so far, check out our Black Ops Declassified hands-on impressions from earlier this week.

Clearly there are many examples of song lyrics and videos, not to mention headlines in pop culture that are degrading to women. This is just another. But that's the problem. Just another. Enough already, why do we continue to go backwards in terms of social progress? I've had enough. I'm tired of thinking, hey catchy tune, just to listen to the lyrics and be disgusted. I'm not turning a blind eye anymore. I don't care how catchy the tune is, if it's offensive, I'm not listening.
Check out our argument on our blog The Scribbling
"I think this is a song that promotes male behavior in our culture that does not need promotion. We do not need more images of men out there as creatures only looking for one thing from those they encounter. You can love flirting, but that does not mean you have to want sex from everyone you flirt with." - http://catharsisproductions.Com/blog/2013/08/01/blurred-lines-rape-culture/?Utm_campaign=blurredlines&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post
Yes, I think they do. The lyrics to R&B artist Robin Thicke's controversial hit "Blurred Lines" promotes rape because the song basically consists of him singing "I know you want it" repeatedly into a woman's ear. Although the song is catchy, the underlying theme being promoted is that no means yes.
The lyrics say "I'll give you something big enough to rip that a** in two." It also mentions a man pulling her hair. The meaning behind the song is she says no she really means yes, this may lead to rape. The song talks about dominating a woman... It's hard to tell what he is saying most of the time but the lyrics are in there. The woman never asks to have sex, she's saying no but the man does. This song does promotes rape just listen.
I suppose they do, but not rape, all he's doing is boasting that he can attract females, by being the alpha-male, it shows how he visualises women in a sense, and is exploiting his only goal in life: to mate with other attractive females, by trying to come across as the best there is.
Really, that's just sooo cute that he says he will give her something to rip her ass in two? How would you guys like him saying that to you? Too many women have paid the price for having guys project their fantasies onto them without their consent or desire. Date rape is quite common.
The premise of the song is essentially that the lines of consent are "blurred." No does not mean no because he "knows she wants it." He remarks about how she was coming on to him, so she obviously wants to sleep with him. "The way you grab me Must wanna get nasty."
In the song he constantly says "i know you want it", a line many victims report their rapist saying. Hes basically saying "i already know you want to have sex so im not even going to ask." And to the person saying a 16 year girl wearing revealing clothes supports pedophiles, since when does what someone wear determine if they should be raped or molested? People should be able to wear whatever they please. Its thier body, and a skirt or tank tops gives no right to touch someone. Also to the person saying the line "i know you want it" is about convincing the woman to have sex with him, umm shouldnt a simple no suffice. No means no, not try to convince me to do something im not comfortable with. If you watch the video its pretty degrading. The three guys are fully clothed while the women only have on thongs. I think that shows right there he only views the girls as objects of pleasure instead of people. And if you dont think thats messed up, then i feel sorry for your wives, girlfriends, and daughters.
Makes sense that so many people would tolerate a song that most likely condones rape when over 78 percent of the population's spiritual beliefs stem from a book that says "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body."
Rape culture is already prevalent enough in our society without giving it catchy tunes to help it along. The video for this song is a bunch of women wandering around naked while the male singer (dressed in suits) proclaim that despite outward appearances they really want a night of wild sex.
"You know you want it" - no-one should ever assert that they know better than someone about what that person wants. The whole carefree way this message is presented is damaging and horrifying.
Literally nobody. Not the music the rapist listens to, not the movies he watches or the video games he plays, or the books he reads. And, it's also not the womans fault for what clothes she was wearing. Sure, if a girl is wearing revealing clothes, a guy might want a slice. But it's not the womans fault. Even if a song is directly sexist and objectifying of women, it doesn't mean it's promoting rape. And before people start calling "Feminist!" I'm a dude.
I am under the impression that normal people can listen to a song promoting sex and having a good time (because that is essentially what this song is talking about) and not turn the words into rape. Words to a song won't make a man go rape a woman (or vice versa) the same way a violent song or movie does not make a person go out and hurt someone else. Those thoughts and behaviors are already within the person that acts them out! The person that has no thoughts of raping another person isn't listening to this song and saying "you know what, I think I am going to go out and rape somebody now"! Give me a break!
This song isn't any different than the majority of popular songs about sex. Women are not victims - there's lots of examples in media where women are seducing an apprehensive male. The only thing this song is guilty of is being another boring, bland, generic, uninspired top 40 hit. The whole 'rape' theme has been blown out of proportion by modern feminists.
Throughout the lyrics, he may sound dominating but that has nothing to do with rape, that has to do with sexual preference. Saying "I know you want it" is not promoting rape either. That is simply trying to convince her, and what guy who wants to sleep with someone doesn't try convincing? That is still not rape. No where in the song does her say "I'm going to pick you up throw you in the back of my car, lock my doors and have sex with you against your will." I agree that yes tge song is rather creepy, but it doesn't promote rape.
The reason this song is so controversial is because it's coming from a guy and the video shows nude women. The truth is if a woman said something like "you know you want it", it would be considered sexy. A male says it and it's promoting rape? Unfortunately, I've actually experienced sexual assault and I'm not offended by the lyrics. The song is talking about women embracing their sexuality. Men like sex, well so do women. It's just more taboo for women to be sexually aggressive. If they are, those women are called sluts. All humans are sexual beings and it is "in our nature." Just because a song uses suggestive or seductive lyrics, doesn't mean it's promoting sexual assault. People love controversy,especially the media and they will create it wherever they can.
The singer is trying to convince a woman to leave her controlling boyfriend. The "blurred lines" and "I know you want it" lyrics are about the woman's conflict between giving in to her desires and being a "good girl." There's absolutely nothing in the song that advocates sexual assault--actually what comes through in the lyrics is admiration for the woman's sexuality and independent nature. Seduction isn't the same thing as coercion.
There are worse lyrics in other songs and they are not mentioned. People should not be so touchy and get on with there lives. The people complaining are sad and pathetic, it is a very good song. Most people just listen to it and dont read to much into it. ITS A SONG!
The arguments that I've seen on the "for" side are asinine at best. Pulling hair and smacking ass is rape? It means that she doesn't want it? That's a laughable premise. I pull my wife's hair and smack her ass every week. I love her and would do anything for her, but she likes her man to be a man in bed. The entire concept that a man being dominant in the bedroom is somehow not only degrading to a woman but linked to rape or force is nonsensical. It's literal nonsense.
"I know you want it" insinuates that no means yes? What song are you listening to? This is a classic case of people reading their own agenda into lyrics. The song describes a woman whose behavior is indicative of someone who is sexually attracted to the singer in numerous lyrics.
How about the line, "That man is not your maker" Although I don't promote infidelity this lyric shows Thicke doesn't believe a man can tell a woman what to do. This is the nail in any argument that tries to say this song in any way implies that no means yes.
Please go away now.
Why is everyone getting so worked up about this song? When you pull one line out of song you are taking it completely out on context. So a guy takes a misogynist point of view in an up beat catchy tune and we are throwing statements at him such a promoter of rape. Where are our angry feminists when a 16yr old girl puts out a music video wearing sexy revealing clothes and rolling around like a cat in heat? Should we be stating she is promoter of pedophilia? NO we don't! Were is the uproar when rappers call their women bitches and yell death to cops? NO WHERE. Blurred Lines is a tounge in cheek catchy tune that makes reference to playful naughty rough sex and nothing else. I am far more offended by the women promoting us all as nothing but sex objects then the men who reference the fact that they do
To me it sounds like the song is talking to young sexy women who got married too early and fell into the typical role of a wife. The song is embracing her sexuality and telling her to look for what she actually wants saying her last partner is too square. She needs someone to give her a bit more fun in the bedroom. That's all.

Reports: Cowboys to make a change at offensive line coach
Posted by Josh Alper on January 11, 2018, 1:43 PM EST
The Cowboys offensive line has been a strong part of the team in recent years, but it looks like the group will have a new coach in the 2018 season.
According to multiple reports, Frank Pollack will not return to the team. Pollack has been with the team since signing on as an assistant offensive line coach in 2013. He took over as offensive line coach in 2015.
Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports that former Bengals offensive line coach Paul Alexander is interviewing with the team. Alexander was let go earlier this month after 24 seasons in Cincinnati.
Archer adds that Tom Cable, who was fired by the Seahawks on Wednesday, and current assistant offensive line coach Marc Colombo are also candidates for the position.
The Cowboys have also parted ways with special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, wide receivers coach Derek Dooley, quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson, secondary coach Joe Baker and tight ends coach Steve Loney since the end of the season. A few other coaches, including running backs coach Gary Brown, are out of contract and uncertain to return.

Nearly every program I start in Windows 7 opens and then immediately enters a not responding mode, indicated by a note "(Not Responding)" in the title bar just to the right of the program name.
I have re-installed Windows 7 several times and it still occurs. I have removed my antivirus software (AVG) and replaced it with Microsoft Security Essentials and it still happens. This step was suggested in the MS Help forums.
Is there a specific cause to this that is able to be fixed?
I have all updates and patches to all software. I have all drivers and BIOS up to date. Even my father-in-law who is an MCSE has no clue what is causing this problem!
UPDATE: after finally not having the "NOT RESPONDING" problem for several months, suddenly it is BACK with a vengeance... Even while typing this comment I have experienced Firefox going into NOT RESPONDING mode for over 2 minutes without any option except to wait or reboot the browser by crashing it forcefully from Task manager.
I have tried setting Firefox to HIGH priority in Task manager, but that only shortens the NOT RESPONDING bug from 2 minutes down to a few seconds. IT STILL HAPPENS!
I will note that this problem only re-surged to an every-few-minutes occurrence with the latest forced Win7 SP update. how annoying!
IDK what caused it to end before or what exactly caused it to start up again.
I have not changed anything except the occasional Firefox update and Win7 update.
I plan to upgrade my computer some time around the holidays this year, but in the mean time, my wife's computer, which has LESS RAM and a SMALLER hard drive, but all the same stuff from the same manufacturer -- her father -- is twice as fast as mine... This is getting annoying.
Oh, and for those who want me to switch to Linux or Mac, you can go jump in a lake and take your computer with ya, cuz those OS's are just too weird to switch to... Even a DOS programmer who has never seen WINDOWS before would hesitate to switch from WIN7 to any MAC or Linux system --- in my opinion.
Sorry --- too much caffeine...
Thanks for the update, Xoandre.
The original question was posted quite a while ago and doesn't get a lot of attention anymore. So if you expect some more help, I suggest that you post a new question.
Let me put it this way
Winblow$ = Therapy. Linux(any Flavor) = The therapist,
Ok you will not have NFS, Far Cry, Halo but you can get a Xbox, so far the *only* MS product am *happy* whit. worried about photoshop office and a couple others try crossover.
Btw to avoid your problem repair your registry, in my experience it will have something to be wht your registry try regcleaner, reginout, ccleanner its up to you or use all, if the problem persist make a bootable usb stick and install linux on it start from the stick and run a memory test if you need more info on how to do that ask google :)
Disculpen mi ingles pero estoy aprendiendo...
u may check your system it had any malwares ..!!
if u r using an pirated copy, the Dvd May have inflected . Check that, !!
Since you've done the re-install I would lean toward it being a memory issue. If you have two memory sticks - remove one of them and run the system for awhile then swap to the other stick. Also another thing to check is the Reliability Monitor - just type Reliability in the search box and hit enter - in some cases it will show you the problem and even give you a link to the potential fixes. Lastly, if you do another re-install make sure to remove the partition and format it. You could very well have bad sectors on the drive. Hope that helps!
I used windows 7 today for the first time today on a new laptop and this happened right away, very frustrating! I had a look at task manager and all fine. I will try the laptop tips shown above!
hey... its windows.....windows is made not to work....if u wanna live ur life peacefully use ubuntu or any other linux derivative... windows is an os designed to irritate you to the extreme.....ubuntu rocks....
and BTW it could be your ram problem also....
or it could be some hdd fault
so go to : dban.org
download the iso
burn it
boot it
wipe your entire hdd
then reinstall windows 7
and is the windows 7 u r using pirated or its original????
if its pirated it freaks u out....u better switch to ubuntu...
if it is original then keep updating your system....
thats it...wipe ur hdd and reinstall or better switch to ubuntu.....

I have an original legitimate installation of Win7.
Before trying Win7, I did try UBUNTU. I gave it 2 weeks of attempts to use UBUNTU and the weird file extensions and lack of usability made me switch over to WIN7.
Linux has a very STEEP learning curve and for someone who lacks the desire to re-learn how to use everything, I gave up on UBUNTU. The same can be said of Microsoft Office with the RIBBON toolbar. HATE that. The moment i saw that MS had completely EFFED UP the toolbars in Office, I downloaded Open Office and have used that ever since.
My first question is how much RAM is installed in Xoandre's PC? Windows 7 needs a lot of RAM. I saw this same behavior on a PC that someone had upgraded to Windows 7 without adding more RAM. Windows 7 won't allow apps to run if you have less than 1 MB of RAM.
I have the maximum of 3gb RAM which is all that Win7 32 bit allows.
I don't think it's a RAM issue. Lack of RAM would have an ongoing effect on programs not just at startup.
The above suggestions are good. If they don't work, it may be a hardware issue. I'd start with the Hard Drive and RAM and work from there.
You could also try NOT installing all patches and updates. Perhaps one of the items being installed is causing the problem.
It might be some other program cramping up your system resources. After you open up windows 7 , monitor the task manager for some unknown program that eats up your RAM. find out where the program is using explorer and remove it.
Worked for me... sometime earlier when i had the same problem :-)
Worth a try..
The only program ever running that takes up significant RAM is Firefox. And this occurs when absolutely nothing else is running. Even windows explorer shows the NOT RESPONDING on occasion.
Are you the administrator.The best would be reformat and reinstal again, because if you just reinstal then windows will create windows.old folder. If you have it then delete it.Did you checked your ram, also try to go to run then type cmd and then sfc / scannow.If you can list your installed applications then will help.
if its a laptop
1. Turn Off the Laptop.
2. Disconnect all the external devices and AC power adaptor.
3. Turn the laptop upside down.
4. You will find a long compartment in the upper side of the laptop.
5. Slide the latches beside the battery compartment. This would open the battery compartment door and battery would pop up.
6. Remove the battery from the battery compartment.
7. Press and hold the Turn ON button for 60Seconds (to remove static electricity).
8. Place the battery back in to the battery compartment and close the compartment door.
9. Please connect the Ac adaptor.
you should also inform if the windows is 32 or 64bits, dont forget to update your BIOS.
go to t to device manager and uninstall all of the SATA drivers. After rebooting, Windows will "found new hardware", and reinstall HDD.
Alternatively instal whocrashed

MUST-SEE VIDEO: FedEx driver breaks up flag burning protest in IA
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Being American means standing up for your freedom, and one FedEx driver did just that.
The video shows a group of protesters setting several American flags on fire during a rally Thursday in Iowa City, Ia., as a FedEx driver swoops in with a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. A heated exchange ensues, with the driver storming off with one of the flags.
According to the Iowa City Press Citizen, the group was protesting racial and social injustice as well as U.S. imperialism.
Happening now: a confrontation on the ped mall as people burn an American flag as protest. pic.twitter.com/aPkMdls6oQ— Stephen GruberMiller (@sgrubermiller) January 26, 2017

Welcome to the office of Dr. Diana Wolf Abbott!
We would like to welcome you to the Rochester Hills, Michigan office of Dr. Diana Wolf Abbott. It is the goal of our office to provide you with the highest quality orthodontic care and dentofacial orthopedics in a friendly, comfortable environment.
We understand how important a straight, beautiful smile is, and are delighted to offer state-of-the-art braces and appliances, and revolutionary services for children and adults.
Are you a candidate for orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics is not merely for improving the aesthetics of the smile; orthodontic treatment improves bad bites (malocclusions). Malocclusions occur as a result of tooth or jaw misalignment. Malocclusions affect the way you smile, chew, clean your teeth or feel about your smile.
Why should malocclusions be treated?
According to studies by the American Association of Orthodontists, untreated malocclusions can result in a variety of problems. Crowded teeth are more difficult to properly brush and floss, which may contribute to tooth decay and/or gum disease. Protruding teeth are more susceptible to accidental chipping. Crossbites can result in unfavorable growth and uneven tooth wear. Openbites can result in tongue-thrusting habits and speech impediments. Ultimately, orthodontics does more than make a pretty smile – it creates a healthier you.
Good news! The new techniques and appliances we use greatly reduce discomfort levels, decrease the frequency of visits, shorten treatment time and may allow you to choose from several options. Your options may include metal braces, translucent braces or transparent aligners that can be worn at night to improve mild cases of misaligned teeth.
Want to straighten your teeth, but don't want to wear traditional braces? The Invisalign system may be a perfect treatment option for you. Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of clear, virtually invisible plastic aligners. The aligners are comfortable, removable and precisely customized for your bite. Best of all, no one will know you're having orthodontic treatment unless you tell them!
If you have any questions about our practice, please contact us. We'll be glad to assist you in any way we can!
