Hey and good evening everyone.
So great, an already stressfull week got worse today. I was in the process of copying some files from a friends harddrive to my own when there were suddenly errors coming up that the files can not be copied successfully because the destination is not reachable, a network storage device or an empty CD-Rom drive.
I than disconnected the drive and when I plugged it back in it took quite some time for it to show up in the windows explorer.
When I clicked on the now named local storage named harddrive, it told me that the drive couldn't be accessed. I than looked at the propertys of the harddrive and it told me that there were 0 bytes of storage space and 0 bytes still available.
I than tryed plugging the HDD into my friends computer and the autoplay dialogue popped up and gave the suggestion to fix the drive what we did than.
When I plugged the drive back into the USB port on my machine, it came back as Harddrive1, so the name i gave to it.
When I looked at the properties, it gave me the correct storage used and space remaining numbers.
But, here comes the strange part, when I open the drive, I see all the folders and files in the root directory, but all the folders are empty and media files give a VLC error that they can not be played.
So, I don't know what the heck is going on, empty folders, but still an almost full harddrive? I don't get it.
Fact is though that I can't access my files.
is there someone around here knowing what to do? I want to get a new HDD anyway, so even if it's just a quick and dirty backup solution, I am thankfull for every idea you guys have, guess that drive is going into the trash when, if it is even possible to recover my data.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Moritz.

sounds like the file headers have been damaged but not sure how to fix it. scandisk seems an obvious choice but probably too obvious and won't work. you could try a chkdsk /f from a command prompt with the letter for the drive but again, probably not going to be effective enough. if you know the make and model of the drive the manufacturors usually have their own diagnostic software on their websites so that may be worth a try.
#3 2018-02-08 23:49:07
sorry to double post but I just did some checking and it does sound like a mft problem. if it is the master file table chkdsk should fix it. just open a command promt by hitting windows key plus R and typing cmd then hit enter. then type chkdsk /f then the drive letter for the drive you want to check. example, chkdsk /f f: and don't forget the colon. lol.
if it can't fix it, again as I mentioned earlier, try going to the manufacturor's website and see if they have a disk repair tool. all the big ones usually do. I may have some knocking about somewhere but I'm too lazy to check rite now but I know maxtore, Seagate, western digital, Toshiba etc all have their own diagnostics.
#4 2018-02-09 00:07:51
Thanks for your quick answer.
I tried the chkdsk command as you described, the problem is that it throws an error that the file system is raw and that chkdsk is not available for raw filesystems. Strangely though, when i check the drives properties, it shows the file system as NTFS.
Greetings Moritz.

now that's strange. only thing I can suggest then is to try the manufacturer for a diagnostic or if you can let me know the make I can have a look for you.
I did find an article about NTFS drives showing as raw as well if you want to check it out. not sure if it'll help but it might.

My girl had this issue a while ago, I tracked it down to corrupt segments[boot sector problems ETC],
It took a long time, and a lot of swearing, to fix and included reformatting the entire thing.
First of all, grab recuva, which will rover all your data for you.
then its up to you, either grab a hammer, smack the old drive and chuck it in the bin and get a new one, or after a little bit of research you should be able to find how to reformat it through command line, and fix the issue, with the risk of it happening again.

I've never tried recuva but the investigating I just did mentioned that a lot and it does say it will usually be able to get all the data off the drive so good suggestion. I'd actually try that first then go down the route of looking at the forum post I mentioned in post 5 if you have no luck.
here's a link to download recuva which has a nice little audio tutorial telling you the basics as well:
https://filehippo.com/download_recuva/d … 86feae9df/
or here's a drop box link to download it without buggering about:

#8 2018-02-09 00:44:41
Two things.
Badger, I did try the methods suggested in the forum post you linked, but sadly changing the drive letter won't help.
It would be cool if you could look for the WD elements diagnostic tool because for some odd reason, the website doesnt work for me, at leased I can't get to the download page.
Darder, I tried recuva, but well, another error on that, when I try scanning the harddrive which is now showing as local disk.harddisk volume 3, I get the error that it can't determine gthe file system.
Greetings Moritz.
#9 2018-02-09 02:35:04
I've had a surprising amount of luck by just connecting the drive to a mac and running the disk repair tool from utilities.
That said though, since you already tried fixing it on Windows, you may be past that point.
Well Ted, it sure looks like there's been uh, quite a bit of violence around here
"aaoh, that violence was terrible'!"
Yeah it was, pretty bad.

let me know how you get on.
#11 2018-02-09 05:05:51
lol, lol!
"either grab a hammer, smack the old drive and chuck it in the bin and get a new one"
Your drive took a while to show up in explorer, and that makes something very clear. This is always a problem and has been a problem with every single external hard drive out there. Those drives do have a serial ATA to USB card into them which works for a while but its so sadly delicate that it becomes horribly weak and you get unreliable connections all of the time. Whether windows is good at reporting connection and disconnection events with sounds is a completely different story. Its better if you open the drive (most of those are just plastic that can come off using a little hand pressure or slightly prying the edges with some flat screwdrivers) and then put that bare, or naked, drive into a hard drive dock to do all recovery operations on it. Hopefully you can get some data back! Connecting it via USB will just keep on completely ruining it.
Of course, you should get a plastic bag or a thin plastic CD sleeve to be able to put the drive away and store it to protect it from dust and other stuff.

I've never actually used it myself, but I've heard a lot of good things about this product. The other thing is that I don't know if it's accessible, but if nothing else works, if you have the money, and if you have someone available who can read the screens for you, this might work. It's called SpinRite. It's available from https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm. If I recall correctly, it's about $80 USD, but (going by the hundreds of positive reviews I've seen) very worth the price.
#13 2018-02-09 08:47:48
@11 not helpful or informative but at least slightly amusing. problem with external drives usually comes up when there is an operating system glitch or more often, which sounds like the case here, the drive has been removed without ejecting it properly which results in a master file table problem.
as for post 12, that's one I've never tried but i'll put that on my list of things to check out next time I'm fixing one and find out if it's blind friendly.
#14 2018-02-09 16:43:49
Not helpful?
I don't know about that, allot of people have had success with external SATA to USB enclosures because of said shitty boards.
But no, it's not the main issue for most drives, your right, it's almost always simpler than that.
Not really too impressed with the suggested removal method either LOL though stuff can be glued and riveted together enough now to wear it may be the only way if you don't have the tools and patients.
Well Ted, it sure looks like there's been uh, quite a bit of violence around here

hi, I wanted to share my knowledge to you and all forum members about these hard drive failures
do you dropped accidentaly your hard drive?
2 did you listen the sound very closely?
drives do not like dropping
dropping causes platter damage
there's read-write heads flying inside the hard drive when you powering on
If you heard grinding, whining, buzzing sound in your drive, there's heads definitely damaged
It will clicks, this means your hard drive platter getting damaged, so if platters becomes unreadable, heads will hit and crack the plattersmy advice to everyone who owns the usb hard drives, do not reject drive when in use, especially in power
interrupting power will damage and make contact heads with platters
that's why we calling head crash
this will lead nonreadable bad sectors
download the hd tune tool, make error scan, it will show how many damaged blocks in it
hd tune will analyze the bad non readable sectors
If you see alot of damaged blocks, there's no way to rid them
all hard drives have lifespan
every hard drive will get fail anytime
no matter you buy barracuda pro, or seagate barracuda standart drive
all drives are same the inside, a read write laser head, and platters
this technology not been changed
one thing last, western digital hard driveshave firmware problem
there's called service area in the platters, If service area gets damaged, it will become slower, unresponsive, and laggy
hd sentinel is very useful program too it will check your drive condition and report text file, it will repair too if platters damaged from bad software
if your drive platter damaged from head, there's no way to fix
recuva will help if your drive's sectors readable
if sectors not readable, no way to get your files back
#16 2018-02-10 01:00:19
had this happening with a 32gb drive, it died all of a sudden, no chance to get the stuff off of it, but I was only transfering it.
I have had 3 drives basically die in a row, one of them a seagate was new.
The other, a wd elements ran for 5 years straight, and was on all the time.
It died, a mybook I had but rarely used just died.
I was able to recover one of the drives but while I got most of it recovered the rest had mangled files if it wasn't for my half dead seagate I wouldn't have got most of my stuff back.
I am seriously thinking about either getting idrive or dropbox, then then buying expandrive and backuping all my data to a virtual network drive, it all costs a lot but maybe that may have to be the way.
Ofcause I am not sure how expandrive deals with sharing links or things so who knows.
Still its an option.
I started to investigate in getting a server not just for backups but for other things to, since with my brother getting a new house, his poky little shitty closet of a room will be available.
It will have a piano in it and maybe some other things, meanwile its probably perfect for a server of some sort to run.
No one in their right mind is going to fucking sit there for a long period anyway.
Its chief disadvantage is that its only window faces outside to the street and is low, it also gets direct sun.
I know that it is possible to have a pc in there as at one time there was one, and while it ran hot we are going to work on the ventilation, even with that sorted the fact is there will not be much of a space in there for much and another tower will be the best place for that.
The other is taking part of the studdy with the main computer spaces in there to have on if he moves his old box and such, but that in itself could be a problem, but it all depends.
#17 2018-02-10 01:26:57
One thing I always say whenever I can. Backup, backup, backup!
Never, ever, ever, ever store anything you care about on only one drive. Every hard drive, no matter the manufacturer, model, or how old it is, *will* eventually fail unless you stop using it first.
#18 2018-02-10 01:27:33
so, probably me describing dismantling some drives I had some time ago done all by myself was totally not helpful at all,so so so sorry. You cannot believe how terribly sorry I am that probably trying a different enclosure would perhaps give you a better chance of recovering your data. So, hopefully this is even less helpful. SpinRite is not accessible at all because it runs into its own dos environment. Get someone to read the screen to you. It might be able to recover things, as long as your premium, elite internal USB to SATA interface does a wonderful job of giving you continuous power for about 4 hours or more, depending on drive size.
#19 2018-02-13 16:34:33 (edited by flyby chow 2018-02-13 16:39:02)
warning, i except no liability for lost data or damaged drives, follow advice at own risk.
okay, now that is out of the way. lets get cracking.
I know the stress you whent through as i face it oh so to often, hence i follow the backup root. but lets see what we can do to help you here.
a note of warning. some seagate external drives, can be opened and the sata board can be removed. but with W D drives, often the board is sealed to the drive. or, in crippted to mate only with the board. thus, attempting to use it in any other in closure, will result in garbled data. things you can now try. one. please, power down the drive. 2. connect the drive to a power bank and record the sounds for me. 3. we'll take it from there. 4. i am always curious to try and repair such issues.
5. if you do not wish to record this. move to step6.
6. download data life guard diagnostic tool for WD drives. its very accessible and will diagnose /repair bad sectors. if not sure ware to get it, let me know and I'll pop ya a link.
7. if you found it, let me know the outcome.
after it had fixed your drive, warning, make sure you have patience since this may take a while to complete.
do not use the drive while data life guards busy with it. your data is already at risk, so reparing what you can, is fine at this point. since data damage has already happened.
8. please place your pc in hi performance mode under power settings. and plug it in to charger when working with the drive. if pc is laptop.
9. if its a desktop. plug drive in the back of pc u s b port.
to insure maximum stable power.
10. if all the above fails. please get back to me ware and witch step failed.
I'd be happy to help.
#20 2018-02-13 16:51:53
Thanks for all your tips people.
I will try if a linux machine maybe will still recognize the drive and still read my data off it, if that fails as well, I will see to fly by chau's method.
Greetings Moritz.
#21 2018-02-13 23:14:59
quick things
the board are not sealed with wd drives, it can be open, you have to remove screws but changing circuit board won't help either
the drive will not work after swapping the donor circuit board
cause their firmware recorded in the drive platters, service area
best regards, that just was my correction don't get wrong
#22 2018-03-23 15:51:39
I recommend you to try this Disk Drill for Windows https://www.pandorarecovery.com/hard-dr … overy.html . It worked fine for me, when my external hard disk suddenly stopped working. I was trying to connect to the laptop but nothing showed up. The hard disk was not even making any sound. I was lucky to find this Disk Drill app. I hope you find it effective too.
#23 2018-03-25 09:41:14
There's something I'm surprised no one's mentioned yet. It's a lot of technical information, but have you had a look at the drive's SMART data?
For a while now, hard drives and SSDs have kept internal logs of how long they've been running, any damaged areas, and tons of other manufacturer-dependent data.
It'd be awesome if you could get that SMART data. A very nice tool exists to read this data, as well as perform some drive tests and set more technical parameters. You can get it from smartmontools.sf.net. Once that's installed, open an administrator command prompt, and run:
smartctl -a h: > documents\smart.txt
Replace h with the actual drive letter. In a few seconds, you should get the prompt back. Open your my documents folder, and there should be a text file called smart.txt. If you wouldn't mind, could you post that somewhere? Feel free to review it first, but it should not contain anything personal to you or your data.
I'd be happy to help you with this, I know I kinda glossed over some of the more technical bits here.
Hope this helps!
#24 2018-03-25 12:56:41
Sorry for not updating in a while, but actually, attaching the drive to a raspberry pi running rasbian lite made the trick, I could mount the HD and recover all the data from that thing.
I got rid of it after that because well, I can't really use a drive which doesn't work properly anymore. But, I guess the Harddrive went out in style.
I am currently practicing mounted archery in my free time, just for fun and because it's quite interesting, and well, the harddrive was screwed on to the target and was defined the bulls eye, I guess you know where that went xD.
Greetings Moritz.

Yes you just take their lead. If she wants 5oz give her 5oz!
I don't think you have to give nighttime milk at nighttime.
19/01/2014 at 12:15
I'd up her feeds, you're just following her lead.
I only ever give an expressed feed occasionally so I don't worry about what time it is, but I vaguely remember something about there being a difference, but I don't see why it'd make a difference when you feed it. Kellymom.com is my bible wrt bf and EBM, have a look and see what they suggest.
Well done for sticking with expressing, it's not easy and I take my hat off to anyone who does it medium/long term.
19/01/2014 at 12:33
I think the main importance of night time feeds is for maintaining your supply. I think if you just feed/express during the day your supply would start to dwindle. They say your baby feeds during the night is "putting it's order in" for the next days milk.
I also seem to recall something about it being richer/fattier at night time. So I guess perhaps this would be more filling and therefore make them sleep longer between feeds than day time milk maybe? I'm just guessing at that but it seems logical.
As BG said, the kellymom website is really informative.
Well done on the expressing. Its hard work having the time to feed and also express, sounds like you're doing a fab job xx

19/01/2014 at 12:57
I expressed exclusively for 2 months and then topped up with formula until she was 5 months when i fully swapped over. I used to express and give that milk as the next feed, so she'd have whatever I could get off the time before. If she's draining the bottle and asking for more, then yes, try giving her more at each feec. It is possible to exclusively express, but very difficult as you can 't miss a session and if baby wants more milk than you've expressed that used to cause problems as I'd then have to try to fit in yet another session (and hope i could get more out). It soon became unmanageable and i was starting to spend more time attached to a pump that with my baby and toddler, so gradually swapped over fully to formula when S was diagnosed as milk intolerant and given prescription milk. If you can, it may be worthwhile to keep giving the BF a go, as it's often difficult to start with, as believe me, it's much easier to BF than express long term if you can do it. Good luck. You're doing great. X
19/01/2014 at 15:28
19/01/2014 at 15:34
I would up the feeds. I expressed with k 11 weeks exclusively and then for another 6 with the odd top up of formula, then we gradually increased the formula and decreased the breast milk until 19 weeks. We gave her what ever milk we had, sometimes it had been frozen and other times one lot of expressed milk would do two/three feeds (she was on 40mls for a while so easier for me to keep up in the first 8 weeks), so I don't think it matters when you give the milk. You're doing a great job expressing.
19/01/2014 at 16:26
I was told when they finish a bottle to increase it by an ounce. If your nipples are sore you could use nipple shields. They saved my bfing experience and I used them until he was 6 months when he self weaned. I've expressed at least once a day since he was born so nearly 8 months now and feel weird about stopping it now as it's just so routine.
19/01/2014 at 21:05
To start with i'd give her formula as a last resort if she was screaming, refusing to latch and I had nothing expressed. It turned out that there were other issues regarding her being milk intolerant, if this had been picked up earlier i may well still be bf now but once both of mine had a bottle they would then refuse to latch, which is why i suggest that you do continue to get her to if you can. Have you seen a bf specialist? If your nipples have been damaged there's a possibility that your latch may have been wrong. I found them to be very helpful. If you do top up with formula, never miss an expressing session or you will soon see your supply begin to drop. Eat plenty of oats and there are things like fengreek that are meant to increase milk production, but i never tried them myself. I also never used nipple shields, but they could be a good way to protect your nipples. Do what you feel us best. I beat myself up so much about 'failing' to bf both times, but as long as baby is feeding you're doing a great job. X
19/01/2014 at 22:30
Can I ask why you stopped breastfeeding? Maybe there is something you could do differently if you want to try it again.
Well done for expressing though- its not exactly exciting is it!? It's great that your supply is keeping up with demand too!
As well as keeping up your supply I'm sure there is something to do with the hormones in night time milk that help you and baby go back to sleep quicker, so like someone else said I'd give her that milk at the next feed. If she wants more, I would give her more. If you were BF you wouldn't know how much she was getting in terms of oz, so I'd go with what she wants (that's just my opinion though - there is no medical basis for it :)
19/01/2014 at 23:52
20/01/2014 at 02:17
Could she have a tongue tie? It can be missed, even by professionals, so I'd be inclined to get as many people to check her as poss.
20/01/2014 at 05:40
20/01/2014 at 08:48
Oh Mrs B I sympathise. Feeding was horrendously painful for us to start with and he had no tongue tie, latch was fine, I just had sensitive nips and to be fair, if you think about it, a baby is sucking there every couple of hours for half an hour or so at a time... Have you ever let her suck your little finger, it's a surprisingly strong suck!! It took about three weeks for me not to find every feed excruciating and a good few more weeks to be 'comfortable', I only felt like I was getting the hang of it when he was a few months old.
Anyway if you're happy expressing that's brilliant, but it might be worth trying her again if you do want to continue long-term. I expressed to begin with as I was donating my milk but as he got older, it got harder and harder to get anything out - in the early days I could get 5oz in ten minutes really easily but by 5/6 months it was taking twenty minutes to get an ounce or two.
20/01/2014 at 09:38
20/01/2014 at 09:56
Absolutely fair enough and to be honest the pain did interfere with bonding for us too, to the point where I'm still not 100% about the thought of BFing no.2 as the memories of newborn BFing are so awful. So I'm glad expressing is working for you xxx
20/01/2014 at 10:21
Respect to you for full-time expressing, I express one feed a day for A and find it tricky enough to fit that in some days so I am always in awe of women who do it more frequently!
I had a horrendous time in the beginning too, I would dread every feed to the point where my heart would sink when he woke up, because it would hurt so much and be such a struggle to get him to latch on. H would have to help me too sometimes, especially when A was getting hungrier and hungrier and so would thrash around in frustration. It was awful and it made the first couple of weeks so hard. At my MW's suggestion I expressed for a day to give my nipples a break - he could only latch on to one side and his latch was terrible on the other, to the point where my nipple went black. Doing the expressing gave me a bit of a break and some headspace and made me feel brave enough to try again - I would have expressed and bottle fed for as long as I needed to to get to that point, don't try again before you feel ready.
When A went back on the boob I used shields so it didn't hurt as much. I would highly recommend trying shields as breast milk and saliva are 2 natural healers so the shields protect your nipples but also help them heal. I had Avent ones which worked fine although after a week or so A learned how to ping them across the room when they were full of milk, which wasn't ideal ;) Once I'd healed I weaned him off the shields but you don't have to do that if you don't want to. The milk pinging was a deciding factor in me doing this!
I'm glad you've found a way that works for you, nobody ever warns you about just how hard it is. Enjoy happy feeding cuddles with your baby :)

The home of the Whopper appears to be headed for the discount menu, where it could become a popular item, perhaps even for Warren E. Buffett.
The planned $2.26 billion sale of Burger King was scuttled yesterday after its parent, Diageo P.L.C., acknowledged that the group of financiers that had agreed to acquire it had backed out of the deal.
While the group -- the Texas Pacific Group, Goldman Sachs & Company and Bain Capital -- is still talking with Diageo about a deal at a much lower price, about half a dozen suitors that were rejected when Burger King was first put up for sale are considering new offers.
The most intriguing potential new suitor, Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, was not part of the early bidding. But executives close to the sale process said yesterday that Mr. Buffett was taking a serious look at a possible offer for Burger King. Berkshire already owns Dairy Queen.
Among the list of other bargain hunters evaluating a possible new bid are the Triarc Companies, the owner of Arby's; the Blackstone Group; Madison Dearborn Partners; and Thomas H. Lee Partners, according to executives close to the sale process. Several of the potential suitors have already scheduled meetings with Diageo and its advisers to examine Burger King's finances.Continue reading the main story
Diageo, which owns brands that include Johnnie Walker, Guinness, Smirnoff and Captain Morgan, is now expected to receive nothing close to the $2.26 billion that it expected when it announced the deal in July. Burger King has had soft sales this fall as it engages in a fierce price war with McDonald's and Wendy's. Under the sale agreement to the investor group, Burger King had to satisfy ''certain performance targets'' for the deal to be completed. Earlier this month, Diageo warned that the deal could unravel.
The investor group led by Texas Pacific now wants to pay only about $1.5 billion for Burger King, the executives said. Diageo's own broker, the Cazenove Group, expects the sale price to be $1.5 billion.
Shares of Diageo plunged 4.1 percent yesterday after it announced that the deal was in jeopardy, falling 29.5 pence, to 681 pence.
Analysts are worried that a deal will come at a significant discount to the price first envisioned and will probably not be completed by the end of the year.
''There is little visibility on the timing or the likely changes to the terms and price, but clearly the change could be more than the $200 million change that we originally thought,'' Mark Puleikis, an analyst at Merrill Lynch, which is acting as an adviser to Diageo, wrote in a note to his clients. ''While we remain a fundamental bull on the stock and feel that the current valuation is undemanding, we find it difficult to see the shares performing until the market gets clarification on both the B.K. issue and current trading conditions.''
Diageo has struggled for more than two years to shed Burger King. In June 2000, Diageo announced its intention to sell 20 percent of Burger King, setting off speculation that a spinoff was likely. The public offering was later canceled after the company sold its Pillsbury division, home to brands like Green Giant vegetables and Betty Crocker, to General Mills.
It is unclear whether the delay of the sale will affect the day-to-day operations of Burger King, which has 11,000 outlets worldwide. Burger King's franchisees, which own 92 percent of the company's restaurants, have said that the sale process has been unsettling because management, which has had nine chief executives in 12 years, has had to focus on the negotiations and not on running the business.
Still, the franchisees have pressed for the sale and have long backed Texas Pacific as the preferred buyer. Burger King's chief executive, John H. Dasburg, has a longstanding connection with Texas Pacific: he ran Northwest Airlines when Texas Pacific sold the carrier a stake in Continental Airlines. Texas Pacific is credited with turning around several businesses, including Continental Airlines and Ducati motorcycles.Continue reading the main story

This is amazing!
For a while me and my group have wanted to have something to carry our sabers while the blade was attached, and these are perfect!
At long last, an elegant solution for carrying your saber with the blade installed. For those who don't wish to uninstall/reinstall your blade, or if you have no covertec wheel or D-ring mount, this full saber holder was made for you. Whether you're at a dueling meet, or at a Con/event and need a way to carry your custom saber with the blade in, this is easy, convenient and classy. Made of top quality leather in either black with nickel hardware, or brown with brass hardware.
*Saber not included, nor is the belt, the costume, or the extremely valuable employee wearing it :)
For a while me and my group have wanted to have something to carry our sabers while the blade was attached, and these are perfect!
I ordered this the day it was released and knew straight away it was the one thing I had been needing for ages. I never really enjoyed using the covertech belt system.It's fine if you want to clip a hilt to your belt for cosplay but I always found I just want to take it off and put the blade in and that is annoying to keep doing. I find you eventually end up just carrying the saber around or clipping one hilt to your belt and having another saber already set to go in a backpack. This product completely solves my problem and looks pretty bad ass as part of an outfit without the saber in too. I have this set up on my jedi belt so I can easy slip the saber blade into the loops when not wanting to hold it and still have it fully set up. This is a much easier way to carry a saber around a con and I think a must have for duelling events. The design is simple but strong and rugged. It's put together really nicey and finished extremely well like all Vader Vault products. I know it doesn't really fit with the realistic look of a Star Wars based costume but in the real world it is a far more practical way of carrying a saber and have it ready for photos or battling.....or a bit of both .

Heel Pain requires immediate and specialized attention.
Do you wake up in the morning with a sore heel?
Does your heel hurt, ache, throb or give shooting pains during the day?
Has your heel pain overstayed its welcome and stopped you from exercising like you want to?
The long term solution to curing Heel pain lies in treating the cause of the pain at the same time as the pain and inflammation itself. The key to successfully treating Plantar fasciitis, Severs and Achilles tendinitis is to reduce:
1) The pain and inflammation
At the same time as
2) Fixing the source (root cause) of the heel pain.
PodMED Podiatry has specialized in treating foot, ankle and heel pain ailments such as plantar fasciitis, Severs and Achilles Tendinitis for the past 15 years.
There is a vast number of treatments for heel pain currently available in Australia. Many treatments originated 20-30 years ago. Some latest treatments are based on multiple visits (Shockwave therapy, Acupuncture, Massage etc). These treatments target pain and inflammation in the short term and do provide great relief
- Anti-inflammatory
- Rest
- Pain killers
- Icing
- Heat Cushion pads
- Cortisone Injections
- Massage / Rollers
- Stretching
- New footwear
- Arch Supports
- Acupuncture
- Support based Orthotics (Off the shelf and Prescription)
- Night splints
- Shock wave therapy
- PRP blood Injections
- Surgery
98% have visited a doctor (79% given cortisone), 78% Physiotherapist, 71% General Podiatry (65% prescribed arch supports), 18% Chiropractors, 5% Orthopaedic Surgeons, 25% self-treated. Many patients have visited multiple practices.
PodMED Podiatry - Specialist Heel Pain Treatment
PodMED Podiatry Centre's prime objective is to treat the source of heel pain providing not just short-term relief, but a permanent long-term cure and prevent reoccurrence. This is achieved by managing the hind foot's action through it's 3 faceted joint. The joint behaves like the conductor of a large orchestra. The Hind foot conductors job is to direct a series of very complicated movements so that the foot can do it's job properly, make efficient movements to strengthen and stabilize the Heel.Data has proved conclusively long term (6-8 weeks+) heel ailments are a misalignment of the calcaneus (heel bone) on foot strike. This creates a "chain reaction" of forces and loads causing overuse pain. Resulting in Plantar fasciitis, Severs and Achilles pain being predominantly an angulated heel position issue, not ligament, tendon or arch problems

Sitting in one of these on a very cool spring evening with a nice cold bottle of Japanese sake and the sounds of raging water flowing down a mountain you sigh your first real breath of release from deep within. You know the journey is over and sitting there warm and cozy in this womb of nature the water absorbs deep into you and heals you of all fatigue and strain.
Often times I am reminded of the beauty of Japan when I leave the larger cities. Miyagi Prefecture was a placed I had visited a few times in search of silence and quietude, and discovered it. This time around I was solo and found that the charm of country life still remains, even today. Iwamatsu Onsen is a place often discussed amongst onsen aficionados as one of the best rare one of a kind hot spas.
What may be off putting for travelers is how long it takes to reach Iwamatsu Onsen. From Sendai, if you use city bus, will take you about 60 minutes and will cost you a little over 1000 yen one-way. Another option would be the local line to Sakunami Station which takes around 40 minutes. How much I do not know. The hotel where I stayed offers a bus service but requires you make a reservation in advance for pick up service.
The type of person who comes to this area, or any area in Miyagi is someone who has plenty of time on his/her hands as buses and trains are infrequent. Plus, Miyagi is a large prefecture and you need time to see it and enjoy it. Miyagi and Sendai are quite different and share nothing other than Sendai being the capital. On a cool wet overcast day, just ambling about tiny little deserted hot spring towns and taking in all that is left of old mills and lumber yards, one can gain a sense of appreciation for how well preserved these places still are even today. Your hands are cold and wet; you are hungry and you've been walking all day. And then you check-in to your onsen ryoukan and thaw out those tired bones, each and every bone in that hot steamy hot spring spa with gorgeous views of the Miyagi backcountry.

Love Hacked By Penny Reid, Review
Love Hacked
By Penny Reid
4 Stars
Book: Love Hacked
Series: Knitting in the City #3
Author: Penny Reid
Genre: Contemporary Romance, Humor
Tour Organized by: Indie Sage, LLC
There are three things you need to know about Sandra Fielding: 1) She makes all her first dates cry, 2) She hasn't been kissed in over two years, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Sandra has difficulty removing her psychotherapist hat. Of her last 30 dates, 29 have ended the same way: the man sobbing uncontrollably. After one such disaster, Sandra--near desperation and maybe a little tipsy--gives in to a seemingly harmless encounter with her hot waiter, Alex. Argumentative, secretive, and hostile Alex may be the opposite of everything Sandra knows is right for her. But now, the girl who has spent all her life helping others change for the better, must find a way to cope with falling for someone who refuses to change at all.
What I thought
This is the 3rd book in the Knitting in the City series, but can be read as a stand alone book, although I would highly recommend you run off and read the first two as well. If you like to laugh your ass off, and are looking for a genuine funny book this these are just the ticket.
Ok lest just get it out of the way I am not a big one for using gifs in my reviews but when I hear about Alex this was my first reaction
That boy was fine!! Omg it's like Penny looked in my head and ripped out my dream boat guy, hubba hubba but I digress.
I just love this, I loved laughing. Sandra was funny, smart and truly awesome. I honestly Love Penny Reid's heroines, all of them so far have been smart, strong, funny, independent and not needing men to complete them. I hate books where once the h meets the H they lose themselves. They don't cry every second page and when shit gets real so do they.
The writing is solid, each character has their own voice and they are all very consistent, with so many people over the course of 3 books it would become very easy for all the surrounding cast to blend into one another but that just doesn't happen. Each person is individual and funny in their own right.
I am so invested in this series, I am now wondering how I can become Penny's best friend.
About the Author:
SEX! It all started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don't like thinking about it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex happened in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved from the land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the southeast US. Like most writers I like to write, but let's get back to sex. Eventually I married and gave birth to 2 small people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this writing).
By day I'm a biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By night I'm a knitter, sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By the wee hours of the morning or when I'm intoxicated I love to listen to the voices in my head and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their stories.

Three months after a landmark ruling from the European Court of Justice which confirmed that new 'GMO 2.0' should be covered by the same safety, traceability and labeling rules as existing GMOs in the EU, we take a look at the state of play. While the EU's top court confirmed the legal status of these new techniques, the European Commission and national governments are showing a worrying lack of action to implement the ruling.
On July 25 the European Court of Justice (ECJ) will rule whether a new generation of genetically modified seeds and foods – so-called 'GMO 2.0' – should be fully regulated as GMOs. This briefing sets out what this case is about, what the court's potential rulings might be, and the impacts would be for our food and farming system, and what our politicians need to do next to avoid GMOs being grown on our fields.
In the coming days and weeks, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker will decide whether to close Europe's fields to genetically modified (GM) crops for good, or if more GM crops can be grown. This short briefing explains the state of play – how we got here, and what is at stake for the future of farming in the EU.

Der Grizzly Boonie Hoody bietet dir einen knochigen Print auf der Brust und auf dem Rücken, eine flauschige Kapuze, kleine Grizzly Logopatches sowie jede Menge Sympathiepunkte im nächsten Skatepark.
Grizzly was started by Torey Pudwill when he was just 12 years old, as a small local griptape company for a few die hard skateboarders. Working out of his dads garage to earn a few extra bucks, Torey never dreamed of the success Grizzly would have in the years to come. With one of the biggest and most loaded pro teams on the skateboard market, Grizzly stand for everything that's real in skateboarding. The idea wasn't born out of a dream to be successful, Torey just wanted to have something fun he could share with his homies. That attitude hasn't changed since day 1 and it is the driving factor behind Grizzly's success.

VigLink publisher, Jet.com, came onto the scene last year with a big goal: to take on Amazon. With 500 million raised the retailer originally started off as a $50/monthly subscription service promising 15% lower prices than anywhere else on the web. In October 2015, Jet decided to pivot and get rid of the fee, resulting in prices that weren't drastically lower, but still ~5% less than other online retailers. One part of their business strategy that has remained consistent is the use of affiliate links to offer a cash-back solution to their customers. Jet Anywhere provides customers with "Jet Cash" which can be used toward other purchases on the website.According to eMarketer, "Wal-Mart is the second largest U.S. online retailer, with $12.5 billion in sales in 2015, a far cry from the $82.8 billion Amazon pulled in."The acquisition would:
- Provide WalMart with additional products to be featured on their site.
- Give Walmart's audience more incentive to buy in bulk online.
- Contribute the experience of the Jet.com employees, including founder Marc Lore who founded the parent company of Diapers.com and later sold it to Amazon for $550 million.
We'll continue to keep our eye on the deal which could be worth billions and aim at disrupting the biggest player in the e-commerce industry.

Out of Your Head
The idea first came to me while watching "the big stars" in rehearsals at the Met this past year. Singers who have extensive backgrounds in physical arts - like Diana Damrau (dance) and Rolando Villazon (clowning), for example, two folks I got to see in action – are such a joy to watch onstage! They are not only more comfortable with crazy stage actions like lying down to sing or running or dancing, but they are also able to use their full instrument (it's more than just the voice!) to engage the listener and to tell the story. Their minds were were completely present on stage, or, at least, so it seemed from the outside. Which, ultimately, is what you want.
It's as if they're not actively "thinking." Singing for them is a physical act, not a cerebral one. Of course, of course: the mind is involved, and the hours of "armchair work" studying languages and rhythms and endless drilling of memory are not unimportant. But when it comes time to get a character on her feet? It's physical. Not to mention the fact that our actual instrument is located in the body, not the mind...
I can add now, in December, Bryn Terfel: I don't know what his dance/movement/sports background is, other than rugby, but he is a great physical actor, someone who definitely just goes and there and plays. He has obviously put a lot of thought into his performance and practice and character, but the cerebral brain is turned off on-stage. More on physicality and my Figaro experience in another post.
One night this summer, over at RM's for dinner, LB and I started waltzing in the kitchen (doing our best to get in the way as much as possible). It began just kind of silly (sillily?), but it didn't take me long to realize that he actually knew how to waltz! So, instead of just playing around, I had to actively turn of the thinking part of my brain and just give over to the physical act of dancing. When I could let go and let him lead, it was smooth sailing. (It's so nice to dance with a tall man who knows how to dance, right?) But as soon as my head got involved again, we were at odds (but only slightly). I'm not saying you shouldn't think when you're on-stage; obviously, you have to. But it is possible to get in your way.
When students ask me what they should do with themselves while they are building their voices, waiting the 5-10 years between finishing school and being ready (maybe) to work, I encourage them to dance. Take any kind of dance class - ballroom, modern, jazz, ballet, hip-hop, whatever. Or take martial arts or fencing. Anything that gets you out of your mental, analytic, judgmental self and into your physical, instinctual, visceral self. Get out of your head and into your body. Your voice will thank you for it.

Great post! This is an issue I've been thinking about a lot since joining eighth blackbird last year.
Obviously we do a lot of movement on stage, and getting out of my brain and into my body has been quite an effort. What I realize is that I have natural "flute movement" - I sway, I bend my knees, I shuffle "expressively" in circles - but much more than that requires a lot of awkward, intrusive mental effort.
I played Guitar Hero for the first time the other night, and found air guitar-style gyrations totally freeing. Maybe this is the way forward...
There are very few flute players I know or have seen who look totally at ease, physically, on stage. Emmanuel Pahud is an inspirational exception. And what is particularly wonderful is how his freedom of movement translates into an unbridled musical freedom that is frankly astounding!
So bloody glad you chose those hippy-dippy, one-hit-wonder Aussies, Frente, for your Fri-pod. I loved that song ("Accidentally Kelly Street") at the time.

Thanks, Tim. Judging by recent events, your body will also thank you for getting out of your head... ;)
And, yes, Guitar Hero is FABULOUS!! We are all rockers, on the inside; some just don't know it yet.

Saw Bryn Terfel and Simon Keenlyside in Figaro this November and went away incredibly impressed. Look forward to your thoughts on Terfel.

Happy Anniversary!
Parents "Going Away", September 1947.
This weekend would have been my parents' 60th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately their earthly togetherness was only to be just over three decades. In the 28 years of the marriage that I witnessed, I never heard an argument or angry word. And I took this blessed and wonderful relationship for granted. As they say, it was a hard act to follow...!

Sky Sports have recently confirmed Liverpool's Joe Cole is on his way back to his childhood club; West Ham United, the creative wideman, whom has seen his career with Liverpool as one to forget.
Joe got off to the worst possible start at Liverpool when he saw a straight red card hovering above his head by referee Martin Atkinson on his first ever appearance for the Merseyside club.
The former England international then, with several injuries along the way, couldn't find a place back in the team which forced a move to French giants Lille in a loan deal.
Now it's officially confirmed that he will leave the Anfield for his beloved West Ham.
The departure rumours started as soon as the January transfer window opened, when Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp announced his interest in the former West Ham and Chelsea man. Although, this put Hammers manager Sam Allardyce on red alert, they are now favorites to capture the services of the 31 year old.
However, Liverpool accepted a £3.7 million pound bid yesterday from the Hammers rising to £4.5 million depending future appearances, although BBC Sport say the price is undisclosed.
My Opinion
Personally, I think Joe made an excellent decision in moving back home to London with West Ham. They are a growing club and Joe Cole will fit perfectly into their style of play.
I think it's a good deal that suits both parties. Liverpool because he currently is an unwanted player, and West Ham because he would be an excellent addition to their side.
I think Big Sam snapped him off Liverpool for a bargain at under £5 million pounds. The lad still has quality as the saying goes 'form is temperory, class is permanent.'
On the other hand, Joe's performances on the pitch haven't been top notch and need tweaking, but I think confidence and happiness are key in this situation.
To conclude my opinion, I think this move should be a successful one and even with him being 31, this could be a final chance to end his career in style.

Charcter Bio - Darth Kruhl was a male Sith Lord and assassin in the One Sith Order, being one of many to serve under Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt during his reign as Galactic Emperor. Kruhl was also the direct subordinate of Darth Maladi, acting as one of her operatives in the Sith Intelligence and Assassination department of Krayt's Empire. In 137 ABY, Darth Kruhl was sent to the world of Munto Codru, with instructions to capture the planet for Krayt's Sith Empire. He attempted to peacefully negotiate an agreement with the appointed spokesman of the planet's native Codru-Ji species, Rikkar-du. However, Rikkar-du was uninterested in Imperial domination, and attempted to unite the clans of Munto Codru in rebellion against Kruhl's plan to subjugate them. When Kruhl learned of Rikkar-du's plot, he returned to the planet and confronted the Codru-Ji spokesperson. The two engaged in combat, which resulted in Darth Kruhl slaying both Rikkar-du and his son,
and then garnering the cooperation of another clan leader in Rikkar-du's place.
Kruhl was later dispatched by Darth Maladi to the stronghold of the deposed Emperor Roan Fel on the world of Bastion, where he was tasked with assassinating him, to rid Darth Krayt of any further opposition to his rule. Kruhl infiltrated Fel's sanctuary where he attempted to take the exiled Emperor by surprise; however, Fel had been expecting one of Krayt's assassins, and the two engaged in a lightsaber duel. Kruhl was killed when Fel withdrew his concealed blaster pistol and shot the Sith Lord in the stomach. After Kruhl's death, Fel returned his lightsaber to Coruscant, to show the usurper Krayt that his assassination attempt had failed.
Darth Kruhl wore short-sleeved robes, and had a strip of hair down the middle of his head, with either side shaved. Like most members of the Order, the visible areas of his body were decorated with Sith tattoos of a red and black design. He adhered to the One Sith's doctrine, which taught unquestioning loyalty to the Dark Lord of the Sith above all else. Kruhl cared not for his personal safety or for his life; his purpose was to serve the will of Darth Krayt.
Kruhl was brutal and ruthless, and was regarded with contempt by his enemies for being so. This was evidenced when he murdered Rikkar-du's son in front of him, and then slew Rikkar-du himself, after the clan leader still refused to yield to the Sith. Kruhl was also known to conspire against his enemies, as he did with Kassek-ka to eliminate Rikkar-du's wife as a potential dissident to Imperial occupation of Munto Codru. He was brash and arrogant, and believed himself to be a better combatant than Roan Fel, who was a seasoned warrior in his own right. Despite his talents, however, he was considered expendable by Darth Maladi, who expressed to Darth Krayt her expectation that Lord Kruhl would not complete his mission.
Lord Kruhl fought with a single red-bladed lightsaber. Different from the coral-like hilts carried by most of his One Sith brethren, Kruhl's saber hilt was smooth, straight, and metallic. The hilt was also adorned with black markings that were similar to those of his tattoo patterns. He was a skilled duelist who fought with an aggressive two-handed style in combat, though he was also able to wield his lightsaber single handedly in an equally aggressive style. Kruhl was also capable in hand-to-hand, close-contact fighting, often employing physical techniques in tandem with his blade work. He was proficient with Force lightning and telekinesis, another set of abilities shared among members of Darth Krayt's One Sith.
Kruhl was well-trained in the arts of assassination, being able to infiltrate enemy territory undetected in order to strike down his targets. He was unable, however, to hide his Force presence from Fel, who sensed Kruhl and prepared for his arrival. Though his skill with a lightsaber was at least on par with that of a fully-trained Imperial Knight such as Fel, he was unable to defeat the Emperor in combat, who first bested Kruhl with cortosis gauntlets, and then with a holdout blaster, the latter of which Fel used to kill the Sith Lord.

HUFFPO: Cecile Richards' Planned Parenthood Testimony is a Model For Hillary on BENGHAZI
Ahead of Hillary Clinton's testimony to congress on the Benghazi attack, liberals are claiming that the former Secretary of State should be inspired by none other than Planned Parenthood President, Cecile Richards.
Here's the madness from the Huffington Post:
Fresh off a strong debate performance in Las Vegas this week, presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is already digging in for her next big test: her testimony before the House Select Committee on Benghazi, where Republicans are expected to grill her about her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state.
Clinton isn't going into this blindly. She has testified about the 2012 attack in Benghazi before, albeit in front of different committees. And she now has a model in someone who recently faced Republicans' ire and came out standing: Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, who went before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Sept. 29.
"Cecile was methodical, very straight forward, had a command of the information, was respectful, answered their questions even when they interrupted her, did not let herself get rattled," a source close to the campaign said, referring to the repeated interruptions that became Internet fodder. "She was grounded, she just kept focusing on answering the question. Whenever she would get the same question, she would give the same specifics."
Basically, Cecile lied throughout her testimony, so we can expect Hillary to do the same.

The build up to the 34th America's Cup has seen huge criticism of the event, from the massive (even by America's Cup standards) budgets required to build the extreme boats that were chosen to questions of the safety of the designs. In the build up to the finals British double Olympic medallist Andrew Simpson a crew member on the Swedish team Artemis was killed following a capsize on San Francisco Bay.
Just three teams entered the Challenger Series to decide who would face American billionaire Larry Ellison's Oracle USA team in the final. It was a series that saw Emirates Team New Zealand win without any real threat. It was far from close and compelling racing. As the America's Cup finals approached much of the criticism looked justified.
CNN Mainsail has had privileged access to build up to the 34th America's Cup over the last three years and Shirley Robertson was in San Francisco for the America's Cup final with exclusive access to the finalists.
The body of opinion was that this would be an event which would deliver high speed action but not be a compelling duel.
Greatest America's Cup finale ever?
A dramatic start to America's Cup
Incredible comeback at America's Cup

At first I want to tell you what you've known (maybe).. What's Chinese New Year for me? For my age, I think CNY is to get hong bao (known as angpao), hahaha. It's a red envelope which is filled with money, for those who hasn't married yet. If you have married, you should give angpao to others, especially children. HAHA, that's just kidding. For me, CNY is the time to meet up with family, especially those who are I rarely meet, especially my big family in Cirebon and Bandung (maybe I will go to Bandung next week) and also to take care of Chinese culture which is celebrated every year..

This week's post will continue with the IPCA PLARS contest, and semi-finalist, Eve Kovacs. First, you should know that Eve is no beginner when it comes to sewing for competition.
She was a finalist in the 2011 Passion for Fashion design contest hosted by the American Sewing Expo (above).
A quick "google" of her name, and you will come up with quite a design variety in competition creations
Her favorite things to sew are jackets, coats, and ensembles, so it's not a surprise that she did just that with the Sew Chic Beatrice pattern, #1310. As is common with wearable art, Eve added seams and plenty of details, mixing several fabric types for a successful "Rock and Roll" edgy and feminine look.
Here is the pattern she used:

Tony Oursler worked with artists including John Baldessari, and embraced the notion of starting with an idea and then moving to a formal expression of the idea. His concern with the consequences of television and the moving image on psychology and personal relationships was his starting point. This demanded an expanded vision of what art making could be and what could be presented in a gallery setting. After working through painting, single-channel video, and various installation strategies, Oursler succeeded in creating a hybrid of multiple media for the utmost critical and psychological impact. He has a dynamic video practice that combines and expands the confrontational installations of Nam June Paik and Bruce Nauman, the countercultural analysis of Mike Kelley and Jim Shaw, and the impact of mass media on the individual. Oursler's most famous works feature videos projected onto three-dimensional objects, like stuffed heads. These works are metaphors for both alienated, isolated modern individuals in a technology-driven culture and real encounters intended to trigger feelings of empathy and understanding in viewers. The Broad collection includes six of Tony Oursler's works; Dust (2006) is on view in the collection installation, Creature, through March 19, 2017.
Tickets to this program include same-night access before the program to the museum's galleries, starting at 5:30 p.m. The museum closes at 8 p.m. and will not be open after the program.
About Tony Oursler
Tony Oursler (b. 1957, New York) received a BFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 1979. Oursler's extensive exhibition history includes the acclaimed 2004 exhibition Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque, SITE Santa Fe, curated by Robert Storr; the retrospective exhibition Dispositifs, which traveled from the Jeu de Paume, Paris, to the DA2 Domus Atrium, Salamanca, and the Kunstforeningen, Copenhagen, in 2005; and recent solo exhibitions at Artsonje Center, Seoul (2012); ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum Denmark (2012); Pinchuk Art Center, Kiev, Ukraine (2013); The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (2014); and LUMA Foundation, Arles, France (2015).

A spontaneous decision on a Tuesday left me inside of the Sunshine Theater yet again. Another concert that, this time, had Mayday Parade and Knuckle Puck!
I have seen Mayday Parade before at Warped Tour and Sunshine Theater, so I thought I'd do it again. What really made me decide to go was seeing Knuckle Puck for the first time. It was their first time, that I know of, coming to New Mexico!
My friend Robbie and I showed up right when the opening band started. I don't remember the name, but they did a pretty good job! Then Knuckle Puck came on, and they were phenomenal! I was a little sad that there wasn't a cool mosh pit, however. But I wouldn't have gone in it, anyway!
Mayday Parade decided to make this entire tour dedicated to their first album. My favorite!! They pretty much played the entire thing, and it was amazing. He even busted out a piano and played "Terrible Things". The lighting performance was super great too, especially when they dropped the disco ball and the entire place was lit up by orange and white. And the lead singers hair? ICONIC. I hope he never cuts it short; it being in his face, moving around when he sings, really adds flavor to the band, haha!
Mayday Parade is a rock band from my middle school memories, who bring back happy nostalgia of when life was simpler and I wasn't stressed about finals. It was a really great concert, and throwback.
