First of all, I would like to thank everyone who has read this blog in its inactivity. I thought I was going to "leave it alone" as-is in it's present state, and even attempted to start a new blog but I could never find the inspiration to actually use it to express myself.
Imagine my surprise when after months of ignoring this blog only to find I had over 18k views and over 100 followers. I think instead of starting new, perhaps, I shouldn't dismiss this gift given to me by all of you by your encouragement and support.
In any case, although I have been inactive in the "blogosphere" (is that the correct term?) I have still been incredibly active in international Heathenry, making new connections and friends, discovering more about the history of my ancestry as well as getting in touch with my Urglaawe roots (Which my Dad's family insists on calling "Folkcraft"- no other term accepted. Period.) As well as spending as much time as possible with my now publicly pagan Latvian grandma who has been translating as many books as possible for my husband and I on "The Old/Earth Religion". (roughly translated)
So, today I spent the better part of an afternoon speaking to a Pennsylvania Deitsche historian regarding our folklore and trends within the greater Heathen community, and I realized that if I fail to use every resource given to me to help improve the image of Heathenry to the general population then I am pretty much a complete asshole if I neglect to do all that I can to do so.
So. Hi. I'm back.
Anyway, what I really NEED to say is that there are some severe problems I am observing in the American community in particular that need to be addressed while they are still simply "seeds" that can turn into a sort of poisonous Kudzu that will strangle us all and make us no different than any other major religion, namely, a socio-political dogmatic mess of contradictory and (and potentially harmful) beliefs and ideals held with good intentions but with dire consequence.
First: Those who claim to "Know everything they need to know about the Gods" and teach others are the very LAST people who should be in the position to be mentors to those called by our Gods and Ancestors. The minute a person stops seeking knowledge, stops asking questions, and proclaims themselves "Authority"- Please do not trust them. Real teachers are humble, they will not charge you a penny. Our ways of our clergy are not the same as the ways of other religions. Traditionally speaking, the role of a Heathen clergy person (Braucher, Hexer, Chieftain, Goethe, or Gythia) is seen as a great privilege and needs no physical monetary reward…but asking them to stay for a meal is considered polite/honorable. (However, I will also temper this statement by stating this is purely from my personal upbringing being raised heathen under two separate cultures: Baltic and Teutonic….other traditions, your mileage may vary).
Second: It must be understood that despite what YOU, the reader personally believe regarding Heathenry in your personal practices, there is a growing danger that we are finding ourselves increasingly defined by people OUTSIDE of Heathenry, and not only that, we are being defined by the worst, most negative people in under the mantel of "Heathenry". What I mean to say is that as Heathenry grows in it's myriad (heh) of forms, that the public perception of the Heathen/Asatru growth is being increasingly linked to some truly terrible ideologies that damage both the credibility of Heathenry as well as "push away" people who need it the most, which brings me to…
Third: We are being WRONGLY and WOEFULLY judged not by our best- who are generally quiet, humble people- but by our extremists. What I mean by extremists are those on BOTH sides of Extremism- Neo-Nazi's as well as those who are so terrified of being "lumped in" with Neo-nazi's that there are ENTIRE organizations that have formed both inside and outside of Heathenry that have become militantly destructive- going as far as to "profile" individuals based on their facebook friends and even their "likes", and there have been INCREASING instances of people from BOTH sets of extremism actually seeking out the personal information of their "targets" and harassing them at their homes and workplaces. I don't care who you are- that is unfrithful regardless- If you disagree with others, there are more mature ways to handle disagreements in ideology. Understanding that a everyone's journey in life changes BY THEIR OWN VOLITION ALONE is the first step to stopping extremism, stalking, and this frightening new development.
FOURTH: Heathenry, like every other form of religion or spiritual belief system, has several different "denominations"- If you are having trouble finding one in your area that matches your personal beliefs, Please write to me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I use what connections and resource I have been fortunate enough to come across to connect you to people of similar mindset. Even despite my disagreements with certain National organizations, it may surprise many people to know that I "sort" people as I meet them to figure out which "denomination" will have the most like-minded spirits to help them grow. I have given out contact information for both the AFA and the Troth despite being a member of neither (and in the former, I ALWAYS say, "Don't mention me as your source- just say you forgot my name!) As well as directing people to scholars abroad who are specialists in things that are uncommon here, such a Jotunr worship.
Since I don't like the number four very much, I guess I'll have to come up with:
Fifth: If you are personally a Heathen of some experience, WITHHOLDING information to make yourself feel "superior" is unethical. We do not have "sacred mysteries"- ALL of Heathenry should be UNITED by the desire to personally connect with Our Gods, Ancestors, and the natural world around us as well as to help others. No legitimate Heathen tradition should EVER respond to your questions with:
"I will tell you when *I* believe you are ready."
NO. This means they are NOT ready for YOU. All information/knowledge/UPG should be freely shared if the person who is willing to share places themselves into a position where they STATE do not mind being approached. (Some people are private, also respect that as well, bitte.) Like any other spiritual path, please beware of false teachers or heathen psuedo-gurus. Your best teachers are the Gods themselves… and only secondly comes anyone from humankind. Anything that takes you away from your personal "connection" to the Gods is likely unhealthy- however, be that as it may, be prepared to keep an open mind and allow your perceptions to BE challenged by reading profusely, talking to as many people on as many different paths as possible, and learning every facet of this culture and religion. No one should "Tell" you what to believe about the Gods- You are not a slave nor sheep…. take in all information and use your own heart and mind to discern what is YOUR personal truth.
I apologize for my irresponsibility, and like always- I cannot guarantee I will post often. The reason for this is I do not believe in writing "just for the sake of writing". As evidenced by the consistent traffic on this "dead" blog, I believe it is better to wait until I have something worth expressing then to "force" myself to write when nothing moves me to do so….so far, it seems to have worked for me.
As the return of open worship of the Gods of Europe are creating greater ripples throughout the world at this time- I also need to express my sincere apologies to those who I have in the past derided for finding Heathenry(or Asatru) via Marvel movies… I have been royally "smacked" by the reality that it is better begin from benign fictions to serve as a "doorway" for those new to Heathenry into fulfilling spiritual practice than it ever is to convince a "prison-programmed" Aryan Nation recruit into being open-minded. This is not to say it can't be done (it has, and there actually is a Heathen prison outreach program to help with this very thing!) I am just saying it is more difficult!
So, in closing, I ask you, my subscribers and those who stumble upon this blog a simple request: Please, if you have been given the ability to influence those around you, please do not shun or hide from it- We are creating the future of Heathenry by our actions, and "Hospitality" is one of the nine virtues for all you Asatuar out there!
Again, I thank you for all the kind comments I have received in these several months encouraging me to reopen this blog…. but then again, where is a better place than a blog called "Hail Loki" to share the uncomfortable truths of which ALL Heathens/Asatru should be mindful? Is that not what Loki represents 😉

The controversial Jalal brothers are back - dressed in traditional Arabic robes, sporting fake beards and dropping off ominous large black bags at random spots around Melbourne's CBD.
The cheeky trio have famously courted notoriety by staging fake drive-by shootings and mock beheadings, though their latest stunt shocks because of its charitable intentions.
Half a dozen homeless people in Melbourne now have a tablet, food vouchers, food and personal care products, thanks to the brothers dropping surprise packages next to rough sleepers.
One of the homeless men in the video is reduced to tears as he opens the bag and rifles through $600 worth of goods.
"It's not a rehabilitation of our image," one of the Jalal brothers told nine.com.au. "This is a campaign for international peace day.
"We're still going to do the same style of videos we did before, but we're also going to use our large social media following for good."
Since Friday, more than 10 million people have watched the clip, which shows the brothers braving Melbourne's wintery conditions with their mystery packages.

Happy New Year!
We're beginning our year with the launch of several significant projects, which all fit into one another like Russian nesting dolls (and if we think of it this way it helps keep us from getting totally overwhelmed by it all! 😉
First, on January 10 I facilitated a call to revive the Knit a Network process with a final 90-day wrap-up challenge.
Knit a Network is an effort to join forces with as many of the various sharing/cooperative economy players as we can, to identify what each is working on, the direction they're going, where we have gaps, and how we can come together to fill those gaps. Really, to make our work complementary and coherent by using the tools and processes we're promoting. Our work areas include: training and peer support, exchange software, knowledge sharing and collaboration tools, alliances (interdisciplinary and international), resource/fund development, and travel/culture exchange. Participants joined from various timebanks using various software and support organizations, TimeBanks USA, Sharing Cities network, New Economics Foundation, and Palo Alto Research Council. There were 26 people on the call with many others signing up for work groups, and each work group has filled up nicely. I look forward to seeing what fruits this brings us.
Next, on Wednesday Jan. 15 we meet with an excellent lawyer with lots of experience in the world of cooperatives, in order to begin the process of incorporating Mutual Aid Networks.
Wednesday evening we kick off our first Neighbor-to-Neighbor Care Team, emulating the work of the wonderful Kathy Perlow. Our own Katie Pajac has been building our capacity in Sun Prairie, a smaller city in Dane County (about 1/2 hour drive from Madison, where a lot of our activity tends to occur). Our Care Teams will revolve around about 25 families and individuals who have disabilities. We'll be building teams of neighbors who will take responsibility for helping each other with transportation, home care, wellness-related activities, paperwork, social opportunities, food shopping and prep, etc. It will be based on the needs and desires of the core group of families. We're really excited to try this model!
Thursday Jan. 16 is our first Builders Workshop of the year, Year in Review + Ring in the New! We'll hold this at our beautiful new Central Library Community Room (201 W. Mifflin, 3rd floor, 3-6pm). From 3-4 I'll present highlights from the last year (plus a little preceding it too) – how various workshops, conferences, visits from luminaries, and events on my 2013 Sharing Economy tour have contributed to the learning that has led us to all these kickoffs. Then from 4-6 I'll present what's happening now, where we're headed, how the pieces fit together, what we see as our potential locally and globally – and most important, have a participatory brainstorming session about how we'll proceed to make all this happen.
And, perhaps most exciting, Saturday Jan. 18 3-5pm is the kickoff for PowerTime II Energy Project in Allied Drive (Boys and Girls Club Community Room, 4619 Jenewein), as part of our work with Allied Community Coop (Allies). If all goes well this project will form the kernel of the first Mutual Aid Network, the design we've come to at this point on our learning journey. Mutual Aid Networks will connect timebanking, cooperative saving/lending/investment tools and more to provide the opportunity for people to do good work while being supported by their community. You can read more about Mutual Aid Networks here.
If you live nearby I hope to see you this week. If not keep reading this blog for the notes and ongoing progress.
2014 will be a great year!

A nurse at Kettering General Hospital has been appointed to a new specialised role, aimed at improving patient care and providing training to other medical staff.
Helen Fawdon has been appointed as the hospital's first nurse consultant after working as the Trust's advanced clinical practitioner lead in urgent care for four years.
The new role will see her working in Accident & Emergency and the Trust's ambulatory care unit, looking after a wide variety of patients.
Nurse consultants are experienced nurses who spend a minimum of 50 per cent of their time working directly with patients.
In addition, they are responsible for being involved in research and contributing to the education, training and development of other nurses.
Helen, from Barton Seagrave, who has worked at KGH since 1981, said: "This is a first for Kettering General Hospital. We have never had a nurse consultant here before.
"Nurse consultants have been around for a number of years in the NHS and are helping nurses to achieve a very high level of clinical expertise.
"I am working along the senior emergency doctors and leading the advanced clinical practitioner and emergency nurse practitioner teams.
"We are working in A&E and in our ambulatory care unit, which cares for patients who require treatment and assessment but not an overnight stay in hospital.
"I am very excited to be pioneering this role which I think is a very important one."
The day-to-day work that Helen will do will involves seeing and assessing patients in A&E and ambulatory care, prescribing medication, ordering investigations, referring patients on to other departments and discharging patients; very much like a junior doctor.
She will also work with her advanced nurse practitioner teams to further develop their skills and experience.
Director of nursing and quality, Leanne Hackshall, said: "Nurse consultants, while emulating some aspects of medical practice, play a unique and valuable role in nursing education, research and leadership that has a positive input on patient experience and outcome.
"Helen's role as nurse consultant may be the first, but with the benefits already being realised, it will not be the only one in the future."
Helen started work as a nurse consultant in March. She is leading a team of 15 advanced clinical practitioners and seven emergency nurse practitioners.

Good morning! Today I have the next instalment of the Know Your Body Shape Series. Today we are looking at how to dress for Apple and Pear Shaped Figures. If you don't know what body shape you have yet then don't forget to check out this post to find out.
So you think you have an Apple Shape Figure...
Do you:
- Have rounded shoulders?
- Have fullness in the tummy area?
- Feel uncomfortable when tops are tucked in?
If you can say yes to these then you are an Apple Shaped Figure
- Keep the clothing line straight to slightly fitted
- The shoulders need attention so you should balance them from the front and side views
- Go for monochromatic looks.
- Go for v-neck tops to create the illusion of a longer torso.
- Wear belts at the smallest part of your waist.
- Conceal tummy bulge by wearing empire tops and dresses.
- Wear boot cut and flared jeans to create an even line from the shoulders down.
- Sleeves which finish next to your bust
- Skirt above knee length
- Clothing that finishes at your fullest points e.g. jackets, cardigans
- Excessive fabric in the mid section Gathered or tiered skirts
- Clutch bags or shoulder bags
- Petite shoes, kitten heels, boots with buckles, Uggs boots
So you think you have a Pear Shape Figure...
Do you:
- Carry weight on your hips or thighs?
- Have narrower shoulders than hips?
- Have a clearly defined waist?
- Wear a larger size on your bottom half than your top?
- Balance the top with your fuller bottom half. Layering on your top half creates visual interest and draws the eye upwards.
- Wear fitted styles around your waist and always accentuate your waistline
- Make your shoulders look broader
- Try a-line skirts, which camouflage wider hips.
- Keep hems of pants, skirts and dresses wide to balance the hips.
- Experiment with light-coloured tops and dark-coloured bottoms for contrast.
- Look for boat neck tops, square and cowl necklines.
- Try styles with ruffles on top.
- Wear jackets that hit right above the waist.
- Opt for pointy-toed shoes to elongate your legs.
- Narrowing leg, pleats or creases in your leg line, pinstripe suits, turn-ups in your trousers, wide or flared leg lines.
- Details, patterns, pockets on your thigh and hip area and belts on your hips
- Flared or ruffled sleeve lines, straight skirts or pencil skirts
- Bags that sit on your hips
- Ankle straps, kitten heels, delicate footwear, round toe shoes, ankle boots with straps around your calf area, Uggs
- Mini skirts or any other hemline that finishes on your hips, thighs or any other full point of your leg
- Dropped waistlines
So there you have it how to dress for Apple and Pear Shaped Body Shapes. Don't forget to share this if you find it helpful...

One Step at a Time
When my step-daughter, Allison, was small, it was quite a feat to get her to sit at the table long enough to eat a meal. She was always so full of energy – with the concentration span of a goldfish. But her father would sit there and patiently encourage her to eat just a little bit more – another four mouthfuls and then she could leave the table.
Allison would heave massive sighs and wiggle about on her chair, and she would load up her fork with the smallest possible amount of food – but eventually she would be able to proudly report
'I did it, Daddy! I ate four mouthfuls.'
Her Dad would tell her she was such a good girl and that she was doing so well. But then, while she was still beaming at his praise, he would add
'Now just three more mouthfuls and you can go to play!'
Strangely enough Allison never seemed to wise up. She would sigh and wiggle, but she would keep spooning up the food. The three would become two, and the two would become one, and sometimes the one would even go on for three or four times more, just until the plate was completely clean.
At the time I used to wonder how on earth he managed to have so much patience with her. Every mealtime became a marathon event and it drove me nuts having to sit there and watch her go through the same routine each time. But, I had to admit it worked.
Faced with a plate of food, even if it was only a very small serving, Allison seemed to feel overwhelmed. The thought of being forced to sit in that chair for an extended period of time was enough to kill off any appetite she may have had. But, when her father broke the process down into just a few more mouthfuls – it suddenly seemed a lot less daunting. She was still going to eat the same amount of food. She was still going to be sitting at the table for the same amount of time. But, because it was all presented to her in small steps, she felt able to work her way through it – one mouthful at a time.
Now I am a cleaner. Being a bit past the first flush of youth, I often find the physical demands of my job can really take a toll. Sometimes, just the thought of five staircases to mop can be enough to drain the energy from my body. In the mornings, just stopping to think about all that I have to accomplish during the course of the day will make me want to crawl back into bed and pull the covers over my head.
But I've learned to break down my workload into 'one-mouthful-at-a-time'. I keep telling myself that all I have to do is just keep plugging along and eventually it will all be done and I can go home. Each time I feel the energy levels dropping – each time I begin to feel a bit overwhelmed, I remind myself that there's only one more bathroom to clean and a couple of floors to mop. Or I only have to finish vacuuming this area and dust all the blinds and I'm done.
At the end of my working day, I often look back and think to myself 'Well, that wasn't so bad after all, was it? I still did the same amount of work. It took me just as long to do it. But, by breaking down the mountain into molehills I made it seem so much less daunting.
Try it sometime. It really does work.
As a footnote, Allison is now a very successful Chef and she recently catered for a function at which the Governor of South Australia was a guest. She now makes a living from playing with food. LOL.

Hi Lyn:
This chunk of wisdom is quite valuable. So many times in my life, I've faced more than seemed possible to accomplish. It was then I heard for the first time, "Do it like you'd eat an elephant, one bite at a time". It sounds so simple, but is so profoundly useful.
Keep writing :)

CORNWALL — Fran Paquette has a favorite saying:
"A 'Thank you' goes a long way."
And when the final bell rings this June to signal summer vacation for the Addison Central Supervisory Union elementary schools, Paquette will have earned a hearty "thank you," having capped 40 years teaching physical education to generations of Middlebury-area students.
CORNWALL — The kid from the Bronx and the farmer's daughter, Eric and Roma "Mo" Mortensen of Cornwall, have been married for 50 years. Instead of a big party on May 22, we have been celebrating their 50th year of marriage all year long. We keep a scrapbook of their adventures as a reminder of the joys we experienced. We have simple dates and outings and visits to friends and family all over the country. Most mornings, we greet each other with "Happy anniversary." It has been an interesting journey.

CORNWALL — Peter Conlon, owner of Vermont Move Management, has expanded services to homeowners with a new home inventory service for the Champlain Valley and central Vermont.
Vermont Home Inventory provides photo and written documenting of a home's contents to protect homeowners in case of fire, theft and natural disaster, and to help them determine if they carry sufficient insurance for the value of their home and its contents.
CORNWALL — Diners will pile toppings high on Friday, March 11, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the fifth annual Baked Potato Bar at the Cornwall Congregational Church.
The cost is $5 per potato, with all proceeds to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Addison County.
Toppings will include sour cream, cheddar cheese, blue cheese, broccoli, chives, chili, bacon, salsa and more. Fruit kebabs and local cider will round out the offerings.
CORNWALL — Cornwall residents at their town meeting this week passed all of the money items on their warning and endorsed, by a 404-63 margin, forming a new unified Addison Central School District (ACSD) with six other Middlebury area communities (see related story, Page 1A).
Residents also OK'd, by voice vote, the borrowing of up to $250,000 to be used to renovate their town hall. The $250,000 loan being sought to renovate the town hall would be paid back through future appropriations to Cornwall's Capital Building Fund.
CORNWALL — Cornwall residents at their town meeting will help elect a new, 13-member board to govern all schools in the Addison Central Supervisory Union, and they will also be asked to approve the borrowing of up to $250,000 to be used to renovate their town hall.
MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA-VT) recently recognized Vermont Integrated Architecture (VIA) of Middlebury with a 2015 Honor Award for the transformation of an old milking parlor into a contemporary writer's studio.
CORNWALL — Children attending Cornwall's Bingham Memorial School are surrounded by some of the county's most successful and renowned farms. But in this age of digital distractions and other competing interests, most of the kids hadn't given much thought to what the farms are producing — even though they and their families are likely regular consumers of the milk, cheese, apples and syrup made a veritable stone's throw away.
CORNWALL — SunCommon has decided to withdraw its application for a proposed solar array off West Street in Cornwall, citing setback issues and a state-mandated archaeological review of the project site.
CORNWALL — Dena Greenman and Doug Clarner seemed poised to follow some conventional career paths when they graduated from Middlebury College in 1994. Greenman, who majored in literature, wanted to become a teacher. Clarner, who focused on economics, readied himself for employment in the world of finance.
But it's not unusual for people to flip life's script and audition for a dramatically different professional role.

New car deals - Here's how to save £10,000 by buying a car this month using simple trick
MOTORISTS can stand to save thousands off the list price if a new vehicle by buying a new car this month.
Mercedes E Class benefits from a discount of £9,079
On September 1st the new Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) was introduced in the UK.
It is a new emissions standard that all new cars that are sold in Britain must adhere to.
Any car that does not meet this standard will no longer be allowed to be sold.
However, one caveat to this is that dealerships and manufacturers stocked up on a number of pre-registered vehicles over the summer months.
Pre-registered cars are vehicles purchased by dealer and registered so they are acknowledged as the first owner despite the car only covering a handful of miles.
The volume of pre-reg cars led to registrations of new cars jumping by 23 per cent in August, compared to the same time last year.
These cars are a great savings opportunity for motorists as they are being sold off at a cut price.
Independent car buying site carwow has listed its top September savers, with great prices of up to off the list price available in some cases.
Top of the September savers is the Audi R8 V10 Plus, which is currently available at an impressive £27,329 below the regular list price.
A Volvo XC60 can also be bought for £6,409 less
Skoda Kodiaq can be bought for £4,298 less this month
However, a Mercedes-Benz GLE may be more appealing, with £11,362 shaved off its on the road price this month.
Alex Rose, trading director at carwow, says: "Manufacturers and dealers have been racing to get new cars registered.
"All vehicles not compliant with new emissions testing standards needed to be registered before the start of this month.
"So with so much stock now available, expect savings and incentives to continue for a good few weeks to come.
"By working with major manufacturers and thousands of dealerships nationwide, carwow has a complete view of the car industry and is uniquely placed to guide drivers towards the best buys."
BMW i3 benefits from a £4,500 price cut
Some of the other best deals:
Mercedes E-Class - £9,079
Mercedes GLC - £8,378
Audi Q7 - £7,434
BMW 5 Series - £7,291
Honda CR-V - £6,949
BMW 4 Series - £6,685
Volvo XC60 - £6,409
Mercedes GLC Coupe - £6,085
SEAT Leon - £5,786
Mercedes GLA - £5,381
Audi Q5 - £5,325
Skoda Superb Estate - £5,147

1650 Premium Outlet Blvd.
Aurora, IL 60502
With more than 140 designer and top brand-name outlets, a number of which can't be found anywhere else in the Midwest, the newly-expanded Chicago Premium Outlets® is being pegged by many as the market's must-shop destination this holiday season. The expansion, which increased the footprint of the popular outdoor center by more than half, also added seasonal experience-enhancing amenities, including fireplaces and a beautifully-situated feature pond that will open to ice skaters on Thanksgiving evening. Perhaps even more enticing to anyone who's maneuvered the holiday crowds at Chicago Premium Outlets in previous years is the addition of 2,200 parking spaces, doubling the parking capacity of the high-traffic center.
Holiday shoppers at Chicago Premium Outlets will find seasonal delights at every turn, from the showpiece ice skating pond and Dickens-inspired carolers, to cozy warming lounges serving complimentary hot cocoa on Saturdays. Santa will pay a visit to the center from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Black Friday, Nov. 27, and Saturdays, Dec. 5 and 12, strolling the promenades and handing out goodies to children. There'll be a complimentary Breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus Story Time in the center's Food Court from 9 to 11 a.m., Dec. 5. Weekend Shopper Shuttle service from Union Station to Chicago Premium Outlets will be extended to include Fridays, during the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Shuttles will depart Union Station Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m., and leave the center at 4 p.m. for the return trip to the city. Round-trip fare is $19.99 and advance reservations can be made online at www.pontarelliischicago.com.

I am using windows 7. It says I do not have any networking hard drive. I purchased a windows recovery disc, which didnt work. my wifi is working.
What programs did you delete and did you uninstall them properly?
What was the reason for deleting them?
If they were what caused this have you tried installing them again?
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
I started deleteing programs I didnt recognize one at a time, because my computer wasnt owrking right The last one i deleted was a hard drive now i have no internet at all. My networking hardware is gone
it tells me Im not connected to the internet
windows does not detect an installed network adapter...tells me to reinstall a driver. I thought the windows recovery disk I bought would solve this be didnt
I dont know where to look to reinstall what i deleted?
Not sure what made you think deleting files would speed things up, it usually stops things working. There will also be valid registry entries for those files that have now been left behind which could cause complications.
Follow 1 to 4 here:
If that doesn't help then system restore might help (to a date before you deleted files):
(that assumes it wasn't the restore files you deleted)
Tip for the future, you don't just delete files (unless they are your own) but you do a proper program uninstall from Control Panel > Programs & Features.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
already tried systems restore. tried that first. I will try that web site you gave thank you
Sure, but it doesn't sound promising if restore doesn't work.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
Probably too hopeful but you could download the latest driver updates for your wifi on another computer then transfer them across for install using a flash drive.
Maybe the make and model number of your computer would help.
When you say the recovery disk didn't work do you mean it didn't run at all or that you did the restore and the problem remained?
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks

Ende finishes fourth in first segment while Junqueira finishes sixth in second
June 9, 2014 (Los Angeles, Calif.) – Taking part in Saturday's Kansas Grand Prix, the event combining the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship Prototype Challenge class and the IMSA Cooper Tires Prototype Lites class, Duncan Ende would qualify and finish in fourth position in the first segment of the race.
The Kansas Grand Prix featured two forty-five minute races with the Prototype Challenge class. For the no. 09 Lino'spresso USA / RSR Racing Oreca FLM09, Ende would qualify the car and contest the first race. His teammate, Bruno Junqueira, would contest the second race, starting from Ende's finishing position from the first race.
Ende would qualify in fourth position for the first race on the roval at Kansas Speedway. In the traffic jam of the first corner, however, Ende would spin and fall down the order. With the help of a couple of full-course caution periods, Ende would come back through the field to finish in fourth position.
"It's tough to be on the outside for the start of a race at Kansas, because you basically just get hung out to dry," said Ende. "I was trying to protect my position going into the braking zone for the start, but I locked up the rear brakes and had a spin which put me all the way to the back. So, I had to get going and had to come through the field. It was a lot of drama to get back to where I started."
In the second race of the day, Junquieria would be forced wide at the start and drop a couple of positions. He would ultimately finish in sixth position.
"It was a rough weekend for us in Kansas," said Ende. "We weren't able to make up ground in the championship like we were hoping. But it was good to see a strong crowd there for a day of sports car racing, which made for a very enjoyable weekend. I hope we gained some new fans this weekend and that we'll see them again next year."
The next round of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship will be the Sahlen's Six Hours at the Glen, on June 27-29, at Watkins Glen International in Watkins Glen, New York.

Well, okay, maybe not kill you as such, but, it is bad for you. Imagine my surprise, drinking 3 litres plus a day won't do your health much good. Well, no shit, Sherlock! All that carbonate, sugar and carcinogenic shit, in such large quantities!!
Most surprising of all was the news that an Australian was drinking 4-10 litres a day!!! Of Cola!!! WTF!!! It's a well known fact that lager comes out the taps Down Under, and this gallah was drinking upt0 25 cans of Cola every day, and then was surprised to suffer health problems. He is from Oz so I guess allowances should be made.
The other top news story of the day? Alfie, all upset to discover he didn't father a child at the age of 12. Or is it his parents who are upset? Their handy pension of government benefits and special TV documentaries has been ripped from them, usurped by the 15 year old bully boy from down the street who happened to win the great sperm race, and it seems to have been keenly contested. At least three joined the queue claiming paternity, how many were too embarrassed to admit sneaking behind the bike sheds with Ms Munter???. Frankly, Alfie, you've had a lucky escape, whilst you've popped your cherry early, she was an absolute moose. You can now move on unencumbered to better things. Though I'd maybe wait a few years.
On to more mundane things now. The further adventures of the mighty RHC. The ones were due to visit Weirs on Saturday, but the wet Weegie weather left the match a Stadio Della Prod cancelled. The twos fared little better, reducing Stirling to 60-2 before rain forced an abandonment. The three's though had to wait until Sunday before heading to Linlithgow to do battle with West Lothian 3.
After calling wrongly at the toss, skipper Mooro was left to give us the bad news. We were being put in to bat. Skippy and Tricky had first look and proceeded to get us off to a slow start, 1 an over for the first 10 overs, and it took that long for the first run off the bat. Still, this was pretty much to plan, as we were keeping wickets in hand. Tricky perished playing his first offensive shot, JK following not long after, playing on. Will played a couple of big shots before going for one too many, and Jonesy followed suit as the run rate increased. Skippy was playing the anchor role at the other end, calmly accumulating ones and twos. It was the arrival of Macca that swung things our way. (the less said about Rider's golden duck the better). The big aussi set about the Wests bowlers with relish, only being stopped when Skippy couldn't get out of the way of one screaming drive. Skippy reached his 50, closely followed by Macca, both perishing soon after. Mooro, Fraggle, Kev and Chappers all adding a few to the final tally of 192 for 9 off the 45 overs. Our biggest total since the first game for the new threes (which we don't count as there was a ringer involved!).
After a decent tea, Wests began their reply. It was the usual tight stuff from Chappers and Kev, runs being very hard to come by. Good ground fielding served to increase the pressure before Chappers struck, removing the off stick. Macca came on for Kev and took two wickets in his first over, with Fraggle picking up scalps at the other end. The score was creeping along, never getting above 1 an over, and the home side were getting more anxious. The fielding was pretty much impeccable, and Mooro came on to tighten the noose further. His 9 overs yielding 3 wickets. Fraggle returned to finish things off, West Lothian dismissed for 45 in 35 overs. COM-PRE-HEN-SIVE.
So, two wins from two in our first season in Div 7, and a message sent to the rest of the teams that we won't be pushovers. Last season we got by very much on our bowling attack. This year we still have a deep bowling lineup, but we've added some batting too. Most teams will tend to have a couple of bowlers they rely on, so conversely they expect to see off the opening bowlers and get runs from the change bowling. We don't allow that to happen, we have strong options for 6 or 7 bowlers, none of whom will be taken apart regularly. A consecutive promotion is not outwith the bounds of possibility. So long as we don't lose too many players to the twos.!!

I am a bit intrigued that more than 137 clicks have recently been made on my "short paper" on the life and works of Albert Schweitzer I reported on in January 2011. For what it's worth, I've tried to "fine-tune" it a bit, and place it here again today (I just hope that it was not theology students copying and pasting large chunk's for theology assignments... they should read the Primary texts!)
I will never again be able to write or think about Schweitzer without some emotions being stirred in my own heart. I did a short paper on his life and works in Durham in 2009. See it as a few preliminary thoughts, which obviously cannot do justice to all that can and should be said about him!
Nobel Peace Prize winner (1952), world-class organist, philosopher, ground-breaking theologian, doctor, surgeon, medical missionary, prisoner of war and anti-nuclear activist. Could these truly be among the achievements of one man? Indeed: Albert Schweitzer!
Schweitzer was born in Kaysersberg in Alsace on the January 14th, 1875. His father and maternal grandfather were both Lutheran pastors from the liberal German tradition, a tradition which was to become central to Schweitzer's theological work.
Strong personality
Since his childhood Schweitzer had had an unquenchable passion 'to accept nothing as a matter of course', he was 'to think out and examine carefully everything that he heard, saw, or read, as though no one before him had been occupied with the subject'[1]. In his fervour for and 'passion for truth and light'[2], when he was only fourteen years old, he '...suddenly found his tongue and intruded into every conversation with a zealot's compulsion to set straight anyone whose viewpoint seemed to diverge from what was obviously the correct one'[3] Schweitzer has always been a dissenter, a true individualist going his own way, moving beyond any supposed sacred frontier [4]. In his later life, it was said of him that he was 'strong-willed', and 'often downright obstinate.' 'He had the ability to anger his closest associates by his unwillingness to change, an anger that in retrospect often turned to delightful recollection'[5]. These elements, at least in part, became important ingredients for his original and significant theological work (to which I will return), which encompassed the first thirty years of his life.
The softer side
Schweitzer's strong convictions, individuality and focused determinism, on the other hand, also produced sacrificial love, evident from his 'devotion to compassion and concern for all life'[6]. This he demonstrated among other things by his pioneering work as a medical doctor in Lambaréné (modern-day Gabon, Africa); his love for animals and all of life; his critique of colonialism's exploits in Africa (he deemed his service to be giving back what colonialism had taken); his outspokenness against the nuclear arms race (see, for example, his letter from president John F. Kennedy in 1962) and the like. These activities made up the second part of Schweitzer's life, in which he set out to work for the 'good of all humanity and the earth', instead of enhancing his professional and academic career [7]. The second part of his life, therefore, became the putting into practice of what he had written in the first three decades of his life [8].
Thus, Schweitzer's strong sense of purpose and conviction, as indicated above, became his life orientation, permeating all spheres of his being. As I am particularly concerned with the way in which Schweitzer interpreted the New Testament, I will delve into aspects of his theological journey.
The making of a theologian
For as long as he could remember, Schweitzer wanted to become a minister, just like his father and maternal grandfather, for whom he had great admiration. After school he studied theology at the University of Strasbourg. There he sat at the feet of famous theologians like Holtzmann, Budde, and philosophers like Ziegler and Windelband. As a young student, he had a few experiences which became important building blocks for his later theological work. One such experience (the theological significance of which will be indicated later) became foundational:
One day, lying in the grass when he was on leave in the little village of Guggenheim, and reading over the eleventh chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew, there came to him in a flash an insight which he was unable to reject. It was the observation that if a certain text in the tenth chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel were correctly interpreted, Jesus was there announcing to His disciples an event which did not actually happen. He predicted to them much persecution and the imminent coming of the supernatural Kingdom of God. But they did not experience such events [9].
As a nineteen-year-old boy, this realisation led Schweitzer to the conclusion that the official theology of his day had in fact not followed the historical data concerning Jesus, and instead of following the real historical facts, 'had dealt with them in such a way as to evade their impact, to... conceal their true bearing'[10]. Following these conclusions, this young theology undergraduate was no longer to be seen in the lecture-rooms of his famous professor Holtzmann that often. Instead (and following his growing suspicion of the latter's theology), he entrenched himself for hours every day surrounded by high piles of books in his college and university library. As never before, and with fiery eagerness, he studied the Scriptures 'in order to find confirmation of his theory'[11]. Soon after embarking on this intellectual journey, he outlined, as young as he was, a rough draft of what would become his future (and significantly eschatological) theological work.
Wrestling with the fear of what his new found and radical conclusions envisaged (not just for himself but also for the church at large), remarkably he found peace (solace?) for his soul by remembering a St. Paul verse from his childhood: 'For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth' (2 Cor. 13. 8). In one sense at least then, Schweitzer's whole future theological programme can be traced back to his second year as a theological student, in which one groundbreaking thought and one verse from the apostle Paul informed a monumental theological enterprise.
But why was this regarded as groundbreaking in New Testament Scholarship? To answer this question, one has to refer to Schweitzer's Quest of the Historical Jesus in which that theological bombshell was launched [12]. In the latter, Schweitzer made a detailed and meticulous analysis of almost 130 years of life-of-Jesus (or historical Jesus) research. In it he critiqued the likes of S. Reimarus, D.F. Strauss, W. Wrede, E. Renan and most of the other important contributions up till then severely, in favour of his view that Jesus was in fact a self-conscious eschatological prophet [13]. This led Schweitzer to the conclusion that, amongst other things:
It is not given to history to disengage that which is abiding and eternal in the being of Jesus [his eschatology] from the historical forms in which it worked itself out, and to introduce it into our world as a living influence. It has toiled in vain at this undertaking. As a water-plant is beautiful so long as it is growing in the water, but once torn from its roots, withers and becomes unrecognisable, so it is with the historical Jesus when He is wrenched loose from the soil of eschatology, and the attempt is made to conceive Him historically as a Being not subject to temporal conditions... The very strangeness and unconditionedness in which He stands before us makes it easier for individuals to find their own personal standpoint in regard to Him [14].
Rejecting both the orthodox and liberal portrayals of Jesus in his own day, Schweitzer discovered an eschatological Jesus who, although unsuccessful in his ultimate endeavour (fulfilling the eschatology he envisioned) [15], knowingly gave up his life, resulting in a selfless dying on a cross for those he loved. In one sense at least, this is also what Schweitzer set out to do, by healing African wounds festering from colonialism's injustice, by peaceful protest against the nuclear arms race and countless other humanitarian projects.
On the last page of Jean Pierhal's biography of Schweitzer, however, he suggests that '[t]he primitive oasis which Schweitzer gradually created [at Lambaréné] will no doubt have to yield, within measurable time, to the inevitable progress of technology' [16]. Not being here to witness it, Schweitzer's African hospital, developed over the course of thirty years is diminishing and making way for a small airport, a major road network crossing, and a new petroleum and industrial centre [17].
Schweitzer's life and work reflected that which he intended it to be. A remarkable man with incredible passion and drive. Schweitzer found 'a' Jesus who was not able to achieve that which he had set out to achieve: a Jesus who set out to be an eschatological prophet, but never managed to overcome death in the end. Similarly, (at least in one instance), Schweitzer became a man whose labors, (which includes his intellectual and humanitarian achievements, including the building of a hospital with eventually more than seventy rooms) is also coming to an end. However, contra Schweitzer, I propose there remains somewhere in old Jerusalem, an empty tomb, deserted for more than 2000 years. The final word of its eschatological significance is still to be fully grasped and experienced. And that, I believe (with millions of other Christians) will come to pass, when He will indeed come back as He himself believed and promised, and taught simple Palestinian Jews, some twenty centuries ago [18].

7. E.g., Schweitzer describes in a letter to Gustav von Lupke (a fine French music critic) why he decided to spend the rest of his life (following his professional training) in service of others: 'At last it became clear to me that the meaning of my life does not consist in knowledge or art but simply in being human and doing some little thing in the Spirit of Jesus' (Pierhal, Great Man, p. 59).
8. All of these projects were the result of Schweitzer's ethical orientation, at least in one way influenced by a neo-Kantian morality which included among others the belief that morality is to be the crucial ingredient in the Christian life (Henry Clark, The Philosophy of Albert Schweitzer, (London: Methuen & Co Ltd, 1962), p. 22. Cf. also Schweitzer's sermon Reverence for Life in which he states emphatically: 'I cannot avoid compassion for everything that is called life. That is the beginning and foundation of morality' (Albert Schweitzer, Reverence for Life, (trans.) Reginald H. Fuller (London: SPCK, 1970), p.116. It cannot be argued here further, but see Schweitzer's doctorate in philosophy The Religious Philosophy of Kant (1899).

13. In modern New Testament scholarship, the likes of E.P. Saunders and N.T. Wright are well known for following an adaptation of Schweitzer's eschatological and Jewish understanding of Jesus (James C. Paget, "Schweitzer, Albert (1875-1965)" in The Dictionary of Historical Theology, (ed.) Trevor A. Hart, (Grand Rapids: William B. Eerdmans, 2000), p. 517.

The History of the Investigation of Its Problems, (trans.) S. McLean Gilmour and Howard C. Kee, (London: SCM Press, 1973), pp. 235-241. 15. Schweitzer and the other 'liberals' shared the view that no imminent eschatological parousia came (or will come), but they arrived there from different angles. Schweitzer saw Jesus as an eschatological prophet whose project collapsed, while others like William Wrede denied Jesus believing himself to be an eschatological prophet in the first place. The latter (which of course included the Messianic Secret motif), was a later theological projection onto the real historical Jesus (William Wrede, The Messianic Secret, trans. J.C.G. Greig. Cambridge and London: James Clarke and Co., 1971), p. 228.
16. Pierhal, Great Man, p. 160.
17. As for the nuclear arms race, Schweitzer would've been devastated by the fact that more and more nations are aspiring to develop nuclear weapons, what to say of nations like Britain, France, China, India, and Pakistan who have been added to the list since his death.
18. Cf. Gathercole who states that 'it is (also) vital that Christian theology today faces up to the task of defending and proclaiming the eschatology to which Schweitzer and the nineteenth century were so implacably opposed' (Simon J. Gathercole, 'The Critical and Dogmatic Agenda of Albert Schweitzer's The Quest of the Historical Jesus' (Cambridge: Tyndale Bulletin, 2000), p. 283.

We continue our study of waves and oscillations observed in sunspots using an improved method for enhancing the waves, giving the opportunity to identify them and determine their properties in far Hα wings. We found that the running penumbral waves are observable at least up to the formation height of the H Å line, but not in the H Å or the Å. We found a time lag between the waves in the blue and the red wing of the Hα line corresponding to a phase shift of 180°, that indicates a pure Doppler shift of the line. There is a lag in the propagation of the waves seen at Hα center and at Hα wings. Also there is a lag in the variation of the umbral oscillations as they are observed from lower to higher atmospheric layers. The correlation between umbral oscillations at various atmospheric heights and running penumbral waves strongly indicates that the latter are excited by photospheric umbral oscillations and not the chromospheric ones. We found a new category of photospheric waves that originate at approximately 0.7 of the distance between the umbra and the penumbra boundary and propagate beyond the outer penumbra boundary with a velocity of the order of 3-4 km s-1. Further, we found 3 min penumbral oscillations apparent in the inner penumbra at lower chromospheric layers (far Hα wings).
Key words: Sun: sunspots / Sun: oscillations

There's another split decision for the Christmas number one this year, with Call Of Duty on Xbox 360 the best-selling individual format game.
Ghosts on Xbox 360 is the best-selling game in the run-up to Christmas, but officially the Christmas number one (which, confusingly, is named in the week prior to the big day) is FIFA 14 at the top of the all formats chart.
Sales for EA's football game have been increasing faster than Call Of Duty: Ghosts over the last few weeks, but although all versions of the game combined sold more than Activision's shooter FIFA 14 on Xbox 360 could only make it to number two in the individual formats chart.
That makes two Christmas number ones in a row for Call Of Duty, although last year Black Ops II was top of both charts. In 2011 Just Dance 3 on Wii was number one, with Skyrim leading the all formats chart. Then back in 2010 it was another split decision with Just Dance 2 on Wii taking the top spot and Call Of Duty: Black Ops number one in the all formats chart.
This week sales of FIFA 14 jumped 18 per cent in the run-up to Christmas, with Ghosts rising by only 7 per cent. According to Chart-Track that means FIFA 14 outsold Call Of Duty: Ghosts by a hefty 17,000 copies, although it is on more formats.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag was number three in both charts, with a late surge of 92 per cent thanks to retailer promotions.
The highest-ranking next gen game was the PlayStation 4 version of FIFA 14, which rose six places to number five in the individual formats chart. Meanwhile, Killzone: Shadow Fall rose one place to number seven, thanks to being included with the console in many bundles.
The highest charting Xbox One game was FIFA 14, which fell 10 places this week to number 16 – likely because stock of its hardware bundle had started to run out.
There were no Wii U games in the individual formats chart but Super Mario 3D World did appear at number 33 in the all formats chart, with New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U at numbers 39 and 40, respectively.

text: IQ2 Debate: Society Must Recognise Trans People's Gender Identities On Thursday 3 March we held the first IQ2 Debate of 2016 - Society Must Recognise Trans People's Gender Identities. The debate was part of the official 2016 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival. Even in a relatively progressive country like Australia, Transgender people report high levels of harrassment and discrimination leading to severe rates of depression. Efforts to address these harms include education programs like 'Safe Schools' and social activisim 'no-platforming' campaigns aimed at censoring offending ideas. The need for greater social acceptance of all people is a no-brainer to many. But some feel certain efforts towards recognising gender identity can be ironically intolerant of diversity. The targets of 'no-platforming' have also reported being abused, bullied and threatened. Are some social attitudes toward gender intolerable? Is the answer to a healthier and happier society more speech or less? Transgender policy expert Peter Hyndal, LA based director and film producer Andrea James, Scottish Professor philosopher John Haldane and Associate Professor of gender Bronwyn Winter, came together to discuss society's attitudes towards gender and identity - a hugely important topic to us all.

If you think that the concept of Rule Breakers is a new one, you're wrong. People and organizations have been breaking rules for a long time, in both the investing arena and the world at large. Last year I saw a wonderful documentary on PBS, profiling Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton called Not for Ourselves Alone. I recommend it to you unequivocally, and want to share some investing lessons I found in it.
First off, let's set the stage. In the early to mid-1800s, women in America couldn't vote. In fact, they weren't even welcome at some "public" gatherings, and weren't permitted to speak, at others. These were the rules of the day -- the rules that people such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton set out to break.
(I'll beg your indulgence now, as I'll be drawing parallels between the women's suffrage movement and investing. Please don't think that I mean to make light of something serious.)
The first convention organized to address women's rights was held in Seneca Falls, N.Y., in July 1848. According to a website on worldwide women's suffrage, it was "a shot heard round the world." The funny thing about it was that it was organized mostly on faith and inspiration. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, and other organizers had no idea if many people would attend. When the time came, they were happily surprised to greet scores of attendees.
There are parallels to Rule Breaker investing here. To wit:
If you build it, they will come. A convention of this sort arguably needed to happen, so when it was organized, people came. Similarly, with some great ideas, if the groundwork is laid effectively, success will follow. Take the idea of eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY). Yes, it can be fun to drop by garage sales, looking for something you've always wanted or something you hadn't realized you must have. This is inefficient, though. eBay came along and was quickly able to match buyers and sellers and to profit from their exchanges.
Of course, I suppose there's a corollary -- that if you build it, sometimes that's not enough, they may not come. Simply having a great product or service doesn't guarantee success. Betamax was thought by many to offer technology superior to VHS. Yet, due to a series of business decisions by both sides, VHS emerged as the standard. Similarly, many people have long felt that Apple Computer's operating system kicks Microsoft Windows' hiney, but the Justice Department has yet to threaten to break up Apple.
Another lesson we might draw from Seneca Falls is that of patience. One hundred men and women signed a declaration there that affirmed many rights of women. But, only one of the female signers lived to be able to cast a vote, after the 19th Amendment was passed -- a whopping 72 years later. Some battles are waged and won quickly... others take time. Some take a lot of time.
In the context of Rule Breakers, consider Excite@Home (Nasdaq: ATHM) and Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN). In April of 1999, @Home's share price peaked at $99. Today, it sits around $13. In December of 1999, Amazon peaked at $113 per share, and now sits at roughly $35. If you're invested in either of these companies (or any like them), presumably you did your homework before buying shares. (Remember, don't mimic us.) You may be asking yourself whether you should sell. Here are some conditions when selling might be the smart thing to do:
- The reasons you bought are no longer valid.
- You can't remember why you bought in the first place.
- You've found a better (ideally much better) place to put that money.
- The holding has grown to dominate your portfolio, throwing it out of balance. (This is a judgment call. Sometimes hanging on is still best.)
- You'll need that money within a few years. (Any money needed within a few years shouldn't be in stocks.)
- You no longer have faith in the company.
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were a formidable pair working for a common cause. They might not have been able to achieve what they achieved had they operated separately. They had different, but complementary, temperaments and styles. Anthony was the more practical one, while Stanton was more of an idealist and dreamer. This mixture can apply to investing, too. If an investor is purely practical and doesn't dare to dream a little, she'll likely have little use for Rule Breaker companies. If an investor never leaves the world of imagination, he may err in investing, never running companies through any investment criteria checklist, not scrutinizing them closely enough.
These are just some thoughts that came to me after viewing the documentary. If you have some thoughts to share or additional observations to make on these or other topics, please pop over to the Rule Breaker Strategies discussion board and post them -- let's hear from you!
