Hello. I just recently bought a compaq presario cq57 laptop from a friend. And I was told right after I paid for it that my friend couldn't remember the password so therefore couldn't get into it. Thus I too can't get into it and am totally locked out.It barely starts to boot up after turningit on when it almost immediately goes to the screen saying/asking for a password. And every time after 3 failed attempts it says disabled and gives me a special number code to go with it. The disabled code that it gives me every time is - disabled 69374099. Is there anyone out there that can give me the real/right password to put in especially one that matches up with the disabled number code error that it keeps giving me. Thank you all very very much. I really do appreciate it a lot. Sincerely, Thumper7771976

My sister is having major problems with her Compaq Presario CQ57 (running Windows 7). I have been trying to help her with it but, I am about to literally throw it from a very high window. I'm thinking it has a malicious program lerking inside it. I am trying to get it into safe mode and am having a hell of a time. I want to do a scan on it and I believe it is better to be i safe mode.
There is no F8 option so that is out. I tried msconfig and computer says it can't find the file,(by the way it says that to any program I try to install). Since I can't get anything to install and everything I seem to try hits a brick wall I am at a lost on what to do. Every time someone gives me some advice on how to maybe fix this I can't seem to get past the first step!!!HELP!!!! She has only had the computer for a couple of months. This is her first brand new computer and it seems she has made a very bad choice!
The Wireless has already quit working too! Buyer Beware!!! Please can someone please help me out?? I am desperate.

Ive done the F8 thing at the start and ive tried everything. I really need help! im stuck. I cant do anything...

Hi, my laptop key fell off the keyboard, and I cannot figure out how to pop it back in. Everything looks to be in working condition, and even the white plastic components have remained on the keyboard. Unfortunately, every single time I press down on the black key, it never actually clicks on. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some unique process to re-adjusting a key on this notebook. I've searched around on keyboard websites, but their guides do not seem to directly address my situation. They usually end with just pressing down on the key, which does not work for my specific notebook, it'd seem. I'd appreciate any advice.
Hello dear, once the the key is popped out the complete keyboard needs replacement. So contact HP and tel them to replace the keyboard for you #hpexpertday

I was recently given a Compaq Presario CQ57 (300 Series) by a friend running Windows 10 64 Bit. Processor - AMD E-300 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.30 GHz It was running very slow so I upgraded the Hard Drive to an SSD and increased the RAM to 8GB. I then did a clean install of WIN 10 64 bit. While this has improved the speed a little bit it is nowhere near as fast as I would have expected. The only software I am running at the moment is McAfee Anti-Virus and Firewall. Does anyone have any suggestions that could still be making it very sluggish. I gather that it is not possible to upgrade the processor. Thank youMore replies

I recieved a new Compaq Presario CQ57 notebook from my father-in-law who never used it. Unfortunately it had a bad hard drive right out of the box. Years had passed so no warranty. I replaced the HD with another of the same. The computer came with the disks so I thought this would be simple but alas as many things in my life things didn't go as planned. The disks supplied are the 2 disk version. The computer came with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. When starting the disks by rebooting the computer the top of the black screen says "starting Windows 98" and further down the same page it says "Error: unable to detect... ADAPI IDE CD-ROM device driver not loaded". Seems to load anyway and start up well with disk one but when it gets to the point that it asks if I have the 1 or 2 disk version I hit 2 and immediately it asks me to insert disk 2. Before doing so an error flashes up in the bottom left corner that says "no files found. Invalid drive specification". I obey and insert disk 2 but nothing happens except for flashing the same message. In a nutshell - no restore.
I've searched the net for days trying to find and answer and came up with ideas but nothing specific. I have run all the Bios tests and all come out working well. Boot order is cd/dvd room first. I downloaded a copy of Windows 7 onto an external drive but I can't get the CQ57 to read it even after changing the boot order. Also downloaded the drivers for the CD-rom but can't lo... Read more
There's surely something wrong with the message of "starting Windows 98" and having Win7 discs for it. Windows 98 is quite old and there's 2 versions, 98 and 98SE [Second Edition]. As I recall there was also an update for 98 similar to a Service Pack. There should be a multi-color sticker on the case, maybe on the bottom, that gives the version of Windows and the required Product Key, useful for determining what its origin was.5 more replies
The normal battery that came with the laptop is 10.8v 4090mah. However, the battery is now weak and I'm looking to replace it. But the replacement battery I found has a bigger capacity ? 6600mah 11.1v. I want to know if its safe for my laptop, because many people from Google search results said its okay if its 11.1v, and some online store sellers also said it's okay to use 11.1v replacement for a 10.8v battery.Please let me hear your opinions.More replies
Hi, this seem to be a question doomed to be without solution, but is there a way to configure the fan settings on my Presario Windows 7 x64 Laptop? It becomes warm pretty easily and while it performs well, I've heard that it extends life-expectancy greatly with high cooler temperatures. So far I haven't found anything able to change them for this specific computer, while on my Macbook ( schoolcomputer, don't blame me!) I just needed to install a third party, change RPM and target temp and then it was done, not even a reboot needed. Im using a cooler allready. Has anyone managed to do this? Im pretty experienced with managing my PC and the system, but I'd prefer to not meddle with registry and such. Thanks in beforehand! /illirey
Hi,CPU fan speed (RPMs) are managed by BIOS based on the CPU temprature. tweaking registry may not help manage the RPM. maximum you can achieve is, manage to cook the CPU which will heatup the processor more, which will make the heatsink FAN rotate at higher RPMs. which is anyways not going to solve issues. infact it can increase the troubles. however if you see any issues caused due to heating of notebook, you may wish to follow steps below and try to reduce the heat on the PC by cleaning heatsink etc...http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01657439 Good Luck !!!!2 more replies

Hello Tech Support Guy forums! I'm wondering if you can help me with a problem.
My girlfriend has a Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop, but the screen broke and she replaced it with a CQ57, which I guess is the next most advanced model in the line. However, the skype connection would drop after just a few minutes and then drop repeatedly afterward every couple seconds. Usually, all connected services (like AIM) would drop off too.
So here's the weird thing - she returned it and got a replacement, and the replacement is doing the same thing. The CQ56, on the same network, can keep a skype call going for hours. But the 57 drops off fast, and we've tried two different units. I thought that maybe it could be a defective laptop the first time, but twice?
Anyway, does anyone have some troubleshooting suggestions?
would you post the following when its working and then repeat all the tests when it disconnects
is this connected by wifi if so also add the xirrus tests
ipconfig /all
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here
We would like to see the results from ipconfig /all post back the results in a reply here
Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD then press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):
In the command prompt window that opens, type the following command:
Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.
ipconfig /all > network.txt & network.txt
It will export the results to notepad and then automatically open notepad.
Now all you need to do is copy and paste those results to a reply here
to do that:
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Select all
all the text will be highlighted
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Copy

Hi guys. Was wondering which processors are compatible with this intel-based board. The current processor is the Intel Celeron B800 (1.50GHz). The system will hold a pretty decent amount of memory running at a decent speed: DDR3L PC3L-12800, CL=11, Unbuffered, NON-ECC, DDR3L-1600, 1.35V Though the processor is dual core, its performance seems highly mismatched to the memory the system can handle. Does anyone know of a list or even just a couple of suggestions of processor upgrades I can swap this Celeron one out for? Thanks for any and all help in advance!

I have a Presario CQ57. It has AMD C50 Dual Core processor, 2GB RAM, running Windows 7 Home Premium. This thing is very slow.

I have this laptop here that is, to put it mildly, SLUGGISH. General windows performance is very noticable. Meaning, you click on something for it to open up, and it could be upwards of 10 seconds or more before there is any kind of sign that your program will finally be ready to open.
Then there is internet. Internet explorer is unusable. It will display things on pages, but if you have an intention, of maybe clicking a link or maybe scrolling down, the delay in it actually doing it is well over 10 seconds usually.
It has Firefox and Chrome installed. These are working, with some lag. Normal surfing is ok for speed, even videos will play without painful lag or choppiness. But for instance, on Facebook, if a game like Candy Crush or really any of the browser based games, tires to load, it has the forever load... then poof all at once it is loaded lag going on. Then once in the game, there is severe graphic degradation and unplayable lag with clicks and drags for actual gameplay.

Well, you are running win 7 in the completely minimal specs, that might be one of the reasons, either way i'm sure my fellow forum members will help you reduce the load in your system somehow. I'd usually recommend an upgrade, but i don't think it's possible in your case, altough switching to Windows XP should improve your experience alot, it might just not be a good idea since it'd require wiping out win 7 and most laptops forbid that. Either way, would you mind taking a screenshot of the processes running in your computer? Listed in order of most memore used.10 more replies

RAM is the much easier upgrade. I would recommend at least 4 gigs, and it will take up to 8. It takes DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM memory. CQ57-339WM seems to be your model. This is the Service Manual which you will need to swap processors: Manual The CQ57s with a Celeron processor will accept only Celeron processors. There are a couple faster Celerons available for your computer but swapping a Celeron for another Celeron just does not seem worth the effort to me. If you want the computer to run faster install 4 gigs of RAM and consider upgrading to a solid state hard drive. The speed improvement will actually be more than you would get from upgrading to a faster Celeron CPU. Post back if you want additional specific suggestions.

My girlfriend has a Compaq CQ57. It came with Windows 7 Home Premium. She has the re-install disk set for it also. The problem is: The computer BSoD'd about 4 times in one night but I was never able to get the code that I could look up. I decided to re-install the OS using the disk set but now it runs slower than it ever did, and it was never a fast computer. I checked Performance Monitor and found that the Memory reading was fluctuating contstantly up to almost 100% and back down. I'm thinking that the Memory may need replacing. The other graphs seem to be about normal. Any ideas? Thanks. Jeff W

Hello lilevee22,
Before the problem started was anything added to or installed on the system?
Try booting to Last Known Good or Safe Mode.
Restart the computer during the boot process repeatedly tap "F8" you should get
the Advanced Options.
Let us know if able to get the system to boot with either option.

Try a power drain.
1. Unplug power cord
2. Hold power button in for 60 seconds or more then let go
3. Plug in power cord
4. turn on the power and try to boot to setup (BIOS)
If it enters the BIOS then you should be able to just press F5 to reset to defaults and then F10 to save and exit. The PC should work now.
However, if after the power drain you still can not get in the BIOS than there is a MAJOR problem which would require some type of repair.
Please can i get the password thanks

ok I hace a compaq that is all messed up. lets see one day the monitor would not work after a storm. Bought another, For a while the screen would be blue but change back to normal. The pc also would have a hard time starting up after it was in idle. We would do a hard start and for a while that worked. Now when I try to start it it turns on but the monitor says no vga/dvi input. There is also none of the preverable beeps that are supposed to be there so in short (well long)the motherboard is fried? So do I use it as a planter in the yard or is there a way to get it up and running. It runs on XP media center it has a micro ATX form factor motherboard it is also an AMD 64 Anthlon. ram is 256 mb 1Rx16 pc 4200 ddr2 533 mhz. With all that said can I just replace the motherboard and reinstall the reinstallation disks and be up and running? ( if it could only be so easy) What about the cpu. i know many questions here thanks for patients. Please help me. Tina
does your system have agp or pciex (or even pci) slot free? Is the graphics on board? It sounds like a graphics card problem, even if it is onboard. I'd try a replacement card (even if it's just a pci card) and see what happens...

I have purchased a Compaq Presario 600 with an Athlon XP 2200+ processor. I do not have a copy of Windows XP to wipe it with. Is there any way with the installed XP that I can refresh this system and remove data frome previous owners? Or Can I load Win 98?
Compaqs usually have a hidden partition with all the factory loaded software on it in an image format. As long as it does and you can figure out how to access it you could probable do that - but you almost likely need the XP Product key and may need to reactivate XP after the recovery. XP can only be install on one machine at a time - so if they are still using it you are out of luck.
Watch the boot up for any recovery messages or take a trip to www.Compaq.com and look up the info for your make/model.
I friend of mine purchased this Presario in 2004. She hasn't had internet since about 2006, so she hasn't had any of the updates since then. I brought her tower home with me since I have internet to load her updates. We're trying to get it internet ready. When I brought it home last week nothing would open. So yesterday she gave me the system recovery disc. I started with the Standard Recovery, but there were too many files that it couldn't recover. So I then decided to do a full recovery. After the full recovery it was rebooting and it told me that not all the system could reload and I couldn't hit okaybecause it wouldn't read / acknowledge my mouse. So, I unhooked her computer and rehooked mine to see what her alternatives were. I found a website, they wanted to know all the things it wouldn't oload. All I can remember is that it was things that could me downloaded later like: Norton, AOL, Adobe, MSN, and QuickTime.
So, I unhoked mine and rehooked her's up (and booted up my laptop). When her's came back up it's saying: NTLDR is missing Pres Control + Alt +Delete to Restart
My question for you is there anyway I can save her conputer? She doesn't have a lot of funds, being a singe mother of a 7 yr old and I'm just a good friend trying to help her out.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide
I decided to see what happened when I ctrl alt delete and then decided to do another recovery. Here's some more info (could not recover errors):
1. C:\WINDOWS\Help\SB\Training\WXPPer\Content\Wave\[email protected]
2. C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntdll.dll
3. C:\WINDOWS\System32\ntkrnlpa.exe

Hi. Does anyone know if a Compaq Presario SR1150NX does the display system support component video (Y, Pr, Pb) signal output function? Thanks
Hello-have prev worked with Compaq tech support 3 sessions but still have same problem with video. Until recently, I could watch MSNBC video OK. Have never been able to watch CNN video. No new software has been added to computer recently. Now, when I click to see video on MSNBC, it acts like it's going to open, then get x in corner and says done in taskbar. Then screen comes up telling me to install free software and a link to windows media player 10. I do this, it loads as it should, and I try to install as normal. At end of installation, it gives me error message from Windows Media Technologies. It says"this version of WMT is incompatible with this version of windows. For more info view the info at the Microsoft website". Have tried this several times. Have gone thru several scenarios with compaq and tried many different remedies. Have tried to uninstall all WMP entirely and reinstall. Many restarts. Disc popup blocker, antivirus, firwall, defrag, run programs that compaq had me try. Same prob now. Have the 8 system recovery disc's from compaq if all else fails but don't want to do that if it can be corrected any other way.
Its a presario 5000, i ran the belarc advisor tool to see what kind of memory i have, it said i have PC133, so i ordered some more, well, for the heck of it, i removed the memory in it to clean the board and the sticker on the factory memory says PC100!! so will PC133 memory still work with this thing even though it has PC100 in it now?

A friend has a Presario X1300. It has a small problem. The power button only works once in a while (perhaps 1 in 20 presses). I thought perhaps it was a cold solder joint but even after touching up the button's pads its still has the problem.
It could be a bad switch, it looked like the switch had previously been replaced (although he hasn't had it serviced except to put in a new hard drive about a month before the switch went bad).
I found a post that indicated that someone found schematics for the motherboard and I was hoping that someone here would be able to point me in the right direction. I didn't find them on google. I'm going to replace the switch first, but if that doesn't work I have to assume there's some other problem that will need debugged.
I hate to see such a nice laptop go to waste because of a stupid power on problem.
I have found the service manual online. Its great, but has no schematics.
Thanks for any ideas you can offer.
I need to completely reformat my compaq presario but have no idea how to format it since it is using vista. help help me do it step by step. thank you.
1. turn on computer and tap on F11 repeatedly until the Compaq screen disappears
2. click Advanced Options
3. select system recovery (may say restore the computer to factory settings)
and click recover without backing up files, click next
It will do the rest on its own.
Do this with ONLY mouse, keyboard, monitor and power attached. If you added any parts inside other than ram you will need to remove them to ensure it works properly.
Thats all!

Hey everyone I am having the same problem again as I was having before with my Compaq Presario 5000. It seems to just freeze up when I am on it or not. Sometimes I try to move the mouse to get back into Windows from the screen saver and it does nothing. At all! And sometimes in the middle of surfing the web and listening to music it just freezes up again and I have to hit the power button just to get it back up and running. Can anyone help out with this? I was asked to run MemTest before but I have no idea how to do this, so could someone help out? Also, since I am not a complete newbie, but darn close when it comes to the whole hardware side of computing, how can I tell what is causing interference with what when it comes to the hardware I am running and wether or not the latest drivers are installed? Thanks again and hope to get this resolved quickly.

hmm system recovery. I'm not too big on using that. My overall suggestion would be go into dos at the startup and do a simpe C:/ format or is it the other way doh... Anyways at startup of windows press oh F8 I believe for systems with win 98 or higher but if you got win95 its either f5 or f8 or you can make a boot disk and do it that way.
System simply freezes. Compaq Presario 5000, running XP. Latest Windows updates already applied. Any ideas???

A baby's exposure to allergens may lead to asthma and allergies later on.
A baby's first sniffles can be scary and confusing, especially when everyone from the nurse at your pediatrician's office to your mother-in-law spouts conflicting opinions. Cold? Flu? Sinusitis? Hay fever?
One thing's for sure: You can probably cross that last diagnosis off your list. "We rarely see inhalant allergies before 18 to 24 months of age," says Dale Umetsu, M.D., Ph.D., professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and an allergist/immunologist at Children's Hospital Boston. "A baby might be genetically predisposed to develop an allergy to pet dander or tree pollen, but in order to become sensitized to these substances he has to inhale them over a period of time."
Food allergies and eczema can be present after birth, however, and may signal a tendency to develop asthma and inhalant allergies later. "We call it the 'allergic march,'" explains Michael J. Welch, M.D., author of The American Academy of Pediatrics Guide to Your Child's Allergies and Asthma (Villard). It starts with the gut and the skin, then moves on to the nose and the lungs. Dust mites are the most common early inhalant allergen, Welch says, followed by mold, pollen and pet dander—in that order.
There's not much you can do to stop the allergic march, though having a family pet might help. "There's a growing body of evidence that living with a dog or cat when you're an infant may moderately decrease the chances that you'll become asthmatic or generally allergic later in life," Welch says.

This is the 80 lb. thrust trolling motor that I cannibalized for my fantail launch. I've been experimenting with RC plane propellers and went out this morning with the newest one. Satisfactory results with speed and battery charge until I hit some weeds. Prop did not break, but weeds wrapped around propeller shaft and slowed motor, plus severe vibration. I rowed to shore (close by) and removed the weed. Forward gear worked fine, but no reverse.
Back in my driveway I found that the prop turns in the forward direction easily by hand but is harder to turn by hand in reverse. When turned on in reverse, there is nothing, not even the sound of the motor straining to run. Did I fry something? The motor has circuit breakers so it shouldn't have fried.
In the picture, you can see how far out on the shaft the prop sits. Lots of shaft to wrap crap around. Other shot is straight at the rear of the motor. There is no evidence of anything caught in there.
Any ideas other then it's time to buy a new motor?


text: NEW YORK Economy, interest rate woes help indexes fall Wall Street posted a moderate decline Thursday, giving back part of the prior session's gains as investors once again fretted about interest rates and the economy. At the close, the Dow Jones industrial average sank 60.35, or 0.54 percent, to 11,019.11, after tumbling as much as 93 points earlier in the session. The Dow gained almost 105 points Wednesday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index slid 6.60, or 0.53 percent, to 1,245.60, and the Nasdaq composite index lost 18.22, or 0.85 percent, to 2,122.98. Lord & Taylor store chain to be sold The famed Lord & Taylor chain will go on after its sale to a property development company, but shoppers likely will see a leaner fashion merchant, including perhaps a dramatically smaller flagship store in Manhattan. Federated Department Stores Inc. announced a deal Thursday to sell its Lord & Taylor department store chain for about $1.2 billion in cash to Purchase, N.Y.-based NRDC Equity Partners LLC, which will be putting its business under a microscope. Federated said its board has approved the sale, and the deal is expected to close in the third quarter, pending regulatory approvals. Oil prices go up for second day in a row Oil prices rose for the second straight day on Thursday as fuel demand appeared to remain strong and U.S. refineries encountered some minor obstacles. The ongoing tension between the West and Iran has also lent support to the energy markets, which rose a day earlier after the U.S. government reported a smaller-than-expected build in gasoline supplies at a time when refineries are boosting production for the summer driving season. "We could be peaking in inventories of gasoline," said Tom Bentz, an analyst at BNP Paribas Commodity Futures in New York. "Combine that with any kind of refinery glitches or any kind of weather outages or strike, or you name it -- the market is going to be extra sensitive." He noted that small refinery issues -- notably Exxon's Baytown refinery having problems restarting earlier this week, and an oil spill in a Louisiana channel affecting some refinery operations -- also encouraged traders to buy. WASHINGTON Mortgage rates reach 4-year high this week Mortgage rates rose this week with 30-year mortgages climbing to the highest level in more than four years on investor fears about inflation. Freddie Mac, the mortgage company, reported Thursday that rates on 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages rose to a nationwide average of 6.71 percent, up from 6.63 percent last week. It was the highest level for 30-year mortgages since they averaged 6.76 the week of May 31, 2002. HANOI, VIETNAM KFC makes debut in Hanoi, plans to expand American fast food chain KFC opened its first restaurant in Hanoi on Thursday and said it plans to expand its operations elsewhere in northern Vietnam. People packed the 120-seat restaurant during lunchtime on the opening day and many had to line up to get their food. Kien said the company plans to open three more restaurants in the capital by the end of this year. Hanoi, a city of about 3.5 million people, has domestically owned chain restaurants and coffee shops, but KFC is the first U.S. fast food brand to enter the market.

Sly & The Family Stone: Arno Konings: Pictorial Carreer Overview (incl. 45rpm Single)
Video von Sly & The Family Stone - Arno Konings: Pictorial Carreer Overview (incl. 45rpm Single)(BBNC) Sly & The Family Stone: One of the most innovative groups popular music has ever known, a band that instigated a musical revolution! Led by Sylvester 'Sly Stone' Stewart, The Family Stone's personnel was black and white, and male and female, and black and white, making it likely the first fully integrated group in the history of popular music. Starting in 1966, their sound was a unique, unknown fusion of soul, jazz, rock, R&B and psychedelia. Sly himself was a master musician who wrote, arranged and produced all the group's material, fashioning ingenious musical arrangements filled with syncopated rhythm, pop melody and unexpected harmony. This book covers the entire discography of Sly & The Family Stone. It is a complete career overview, from the first gospel recording by the Stewart Four, through to Sly's most recent releases, as well as each members solo work in the years before and since, illustrated with vinyl releases from all over the world. It's the book all Sly fans have been waiting for. As a special bonus, copies come with a 45 reproduction of the hyper-rare Stewart Four 78 from 1952.

Sly & The Family Stone
Dance To The Music
(Sylvester Stewart)
Epic 10256
Here's where rock and soul and funk and psychedelia all fused together in one cataclysmic explosion, inexorably altering the future of R&B in the process.
Sly Stone—or Sylvester Stewart, as he was born March 15, 1944 in Dallas—had distinguished himself on the Bay Area music scene while still in his teens. He recorded 45s with The Stewart Brothers, The Viscaynes, and as both Danny and Sylvester Stewart before delving heavily into studio work for KYA deejays/concert promoters Bob Mitchell and Tom Donahue's fledgling Autumn Records. There Sly produced Bobby Freeman's brassy 1964 dance smash C'mon And Swim and The Beau Brummels' '65 hits Laugh, Laugh and Just A Little, finding time to making a few singles of his own (I Just Learned How To Swim and the two-parters Buttermilk and Temptation Walk).
Sly & The Family Stone came together in late 1966, not long after Autumn ceased operations. It was a merger of two previous groups, The Stoners and Freddie & The Stone Souls, neither of whom ever made it into a studio. The new lineup
consisted of Sly on keyboards and guitar, his brother Freddie on guitar and their sister Rose on keys, string-popping bassist Larry Graham, drummer Gregg Errico, trumpeter Cynthia Robinson, and saxist Jerry Martini.
Sly did the lion's share of the lead singing, but the liberating vocal interplay between everyone but Cynthia and Gregg meant that the rest shared essential mic time. Epic Records exec David Kapralik caught their freewheeling act and was so knocked out that he not only brought them aboard Epic, he signed on as their manager. The group didn't fit into any conceivable niche, and their aptly titled '67 debut LP 'A Whole New Thing' slipped right through the cracks, major label association or not.
Sly and his Family would have to create their own niche, and that's precisely what they did with the throbbing rocker Dance To The Music. A brisk, bright horn riff and an acappella singalong at the top offer an irresistible invitation to head straight for the dance floor, and several members of the group introduce themselves with a hot lick and a line or two (organist Sly harks back to Mustang Sally for his "Ride, Sally, ride" mention).
Dubbed 'psychedelic soul,' the extremely innovative hybrid that Sly & The Family Stone brewed up had no direct precedent. But this interracial group would soon have a whole lot of followers.

See, we know for a fact it, the mafia, does exist today and the very idea that they do not is practically inconceivable to most reading this thread right now I imagine - ......... It's even affecting the world today in fact although not as much as it did in the lawless years around the 1920's and the early 30's and so on..
Bold emphasis mine.
With the emergence of this new crime organisation they were able to scientifically tie criminals to crime (with the use of the first ever advanced scientific crime laboratory - Also known as the FBI laboratory) with the use of fingerprinting for example, statistics were kept on crime, analysis etc.

Fast forward to today. Seems like the MSM and government continue to perpetuate distortions and outright lies. We need to learn from history.
I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, but it is worth looking at Hoover from another perspective. Namely from my side of the pond. You'd be amazed at what you'll find. Eye-opening to say the least.

The Scavenger
Adam Robezzoli and I made a little flashgame for Kokoromi's Gamma 3D competition. It has to be played with red and cyan 3D-glasses and it's called the Scavenger. We made it on two days while hanging out at the Indiecade Festival, so it more like a sketch. Check out the Kokoromi page for all the other stereoscopic and downloadable games.

I was never supposed to be a speaker, author and sales trainer. I was supposed to be a ballerina.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My mother has told me that when I was a small child, I would constantly turn on the radio and dance. I had no sense of rhythm, so she enrolled me in ballet class. That was the beginning of a first career and a great passion.
As a child I danced with Pittsburgh Ballet Theater and was always one of the child guests in Act I of Nutcracker. As I grew older, it was the Corps de Ballet, Snowflake and Waltz of the Flowers. I was even the Sugar Plum Fairy a few times!
At 17 I moved to New York City to dance; like every artist in the city, I needed a day job. At first I waited on tables. Then I found something more lucrative and more fun: telemarketing.
An ad in Backstage, the trade publication we would read to look for auditions, caught my attention. It was an ad for a telemarketing company. They would hire actors because actors can read scripts. (Hiring tip: If you are looking for a part time telemarketer, hire an actor.) The job involved calling high-level executives and setting new business appointments. I got the job and was really good at it. (Who knew? Ballet dancers don't even talk.)
Eventually the telemarketing company started to give me all the "hard leads"—the presidents, the CEOs, the people who "didn't take cold calls." I'd call them up, get them on the line, have a great conversation and set up the meeting. It was fun and it was easy.
Years later, when I started my training and coaching business, I thought that all that would be necessary would be to show clients a system and help them write a good script: do that, and we'd be done. Imagine my surprise when I discovered all the human and psychological barriers people face when prospecting by telephone!
That sent me back to the basics, not only to look again at my system and scripts, but also to examine the thought process and mindset involved.
And I found something fascinating.
At the time of that initial telemarketing job, I was 19, rather naive and inexperienced in the ways of the world. I lived in a small apartment with four other dancers. I made very little money. Yet, when I would pick up the telephone to call that CEO or president, believe it or not, I felt that I was superior. I may have been calling someone who made 100 times more money than I did, someone who lived in a wonderful house or apartment, someone whom everyone would consider to be the epitome of success, yet I felt superior because I was an artist. My belief system at the time was simply that artists are superior in every respect. It never occurred to me that prospects would be anything but delighted to speak with me. Ah, the hubris of youth.
My mindset and beliefs about the business and corporate world, my place in it and my "superiority" have changed drastically over the years, but that belief system was what enabled me to successfully pick up the telephone and speak easily with high-level executives. Perception is reality. Although my life circumstances at the time were far from ideal, I didn't view it that way.
The thoughts and beliefs you have about yourself have a direct impact on your ability to perform and be successful. It certainly isn't necessary that you believe yourself to be superior, but it is imperative that you see yourself and your prospects as peers and equals.
If you don't, it's time to change your thought patterns.
Instead of thinking about how important your prospect is, think about all of the ways that your prospects and customers need you. Think about how you help. Think about the benefits you bring. Start to see yourself as an equal, with something of value to offer. Determine that your prospects will be happy to speak and work with you. Perception becomes reality.
As Henry Ford said, in my all-time favorite quote:
"Either you think you can or you think you can't, and either way you're right."

The all-new Mazda3 compact car has been completely redesigned for the 2014 model year to offer great styling, powerful and fuel-efficient engines, a refined interior with a new heads-up display, and several safety technologies.
The latter enhance driving pleasure and your sense of security. Changes in the new 2014 Mazda3 have also paved the way for several awards, one of which includes the Best Car under 21K from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada.
Now, the 2015 model is here, and offers the same features that made the 2014 edition a hit with consumers and journalists alike.
1. Fresh styling
The so-called smiling grille has been a trademark of Mazda vehicles for quite some time. However, for the third-generation Mazda3, the automaker has restyled its popular compact car so that it provides customers with an even more engaging personality due to the KODO: Soul of Motion design language. With dynamic lines, aggressive-looking headlights and a sharper grille, Mazda's new "3" image promotes a greater sense of sportiness.
As for features, Bi-Xenon HID headlights with LED signature, LED taillights, an adaptive front lighting and high beam control system, a rear spoiler, and 18-inch alloy wheels are among the available elements that buyers can opt for.
2. More power, more fuel-efficient
A SKYACTIV-G 2.0-litre 4-cylinder engine powers the GX and GS models, and produces 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. With the new engine, direct-injection, and an incredibly high compression ratio of 13.0:1, consumers can expect more power and fuel-efficiency from the 2015 Mazda3.
The new engine will produce more low- to mid-range torque, with 15 percent lower fuel consumption and emissions than the automaker's previous 2.0-litre. Friction inside the engine has also been reduced by 30 percent, and direct-injection is certainly a benefit as well. Mazda has described the high-pressure 6-hole direct fuel injector as helping to "keep fuel cool to improve combustion efficiency."
Finally, the high compression ratio of 13.0:1 allows for the capture of more energy from fuel, as well as an increase of 15 percent in fuel efficiency and torque. The 2015 Mazda3 comes with the full suit of SKYACTIV technology, all meant to help increase power without paying for it at the pump.
The standard engine is also mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, and for buyers that prefer the automatic, a 6-speed with manual shift mode and paddle shifters are available, depending on the model. Fuel economy ratings for the GX and GS equipped with the automatic are quite low with a rating of 6.7/4.7 litres per 100 kilometres (city/highway). Buyers that opt for the top GT trim, equipped with a SKYACTIV-G 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine generating 184 hp, and paired with the 6-speed automatic and i-ELOOP (regenerative braking system), can anticipate a rating of 7.1 and 5.0 L/100km.
3. Safety features
Although the automaker's new compact sedan comes equipped with stability and traction control, and an anti-lock brake system, it's worth considering Mazda's other available technologies as well. With the Technology Package on the top GT model, buyers can get the a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, and smart city brake support. Consumers should also note that the Mazda3 has received the TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the IIHS, and the top 5-star overall rating from the NHTSA.
Other elements to appreciate from Mazda's fresh new 3 sedan include the new electronic interface with intuitive controls, leather-trimmed upholstery and leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake handle, heated front seats, push start button, moonroof, rearview camera, voice-activated navigation, and an active driving display, all available depending on the trim. Entertainment features also include satellite radio offered with the Technology Package on the GT model, standard steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and an available 9-speaker premium audio system with surround sound.
The 2015 Mazda3 sedan is an enticing alternative to rivals within the segment, especially when considering its fresh new styling, fuel-efficient SKYACTIV technologies, and safety features. The new Mazda3 is available at Performance Mazda with a starting price of $15,995 MSRP.

For most people getting out of debt is little more than a pipe dream. Creating a personal finance plan that includes a savings plan and a retirement plan are a venture that few are prepared to tackle. We all too often tell ourselves that we lack the funds necessary to achieve even a small part of what we want. We will look at the 4 steps necessary to achieve our financial dreams.
Creating money by reducing expenses
In most cases your current expense has done nothing but grow month to month. Every three months you should look at every expense that you have and find the waste. Things like upsizing every special value meal at McDonalds when you eat out. Sure it is a good buy but if you eat out every day that adds up to $32 per month on average. Electric bills can be reduced by $10-$15 per month just by small moves in the thermostat and turning out lights. A pack of cigarettes a day is costing you close to $4000 per year or $40,000 in 10 years. Not to say anything about the added

Superior Grocers, Essentia Sign New Distribution Agreement
Superior Grocers has signed a major distribution agreement with Essentia Financial Services LLC, a Fort Worth, Texas-based provider of retail-specific consumer financing solutions, for the ChargeIt+Plus charge card in all of Superior's Southern California locations.
The agreement makes the card available to all qualified Superior Grocer customers, providing the Santa Fe Springs, Calif.-based grocer with the ability to safely extend immediate credit to its shoppers at the point of sale whenever needed.
"Nearly 60 million US consumers are financially underserved and need short-term credit," noted Essentia CEO Tommy Glenn. "For grocery, convenience stores and other retailers, this can limit sales in between their customers' pay cycles. The ChargeIt+Plus card gives financially underserved consumers immediate credit for life's essentials, without having to worry about bank overdraft or other high fees."
Superior is the fifth regional grocery chain partner for Essentia. Other retail commitments now being implemented will grow the total number of the provider's retail distribution outlets to almost 1,500 by the first quarter of 2013. At each location, the ChargeIt+Plus card is designed to create higher retailer loyalty and repeat sales, a recurring revenue stream and more ways to serve the shopper via a long-term customer relationship. The card aims to generate more spending power for consumers and a competitive advantage for the retailer, with good funds guaranteed by Essentia to the retail partner.
Under the terms of the agreement, Superior customers can apply for the card 24 hours a day, and if approved, receive credit for instant in-store use, with Essentia providing all customer support and card account servicing.
One of the largest independently owned chains of grocery stores in Southern California, Superior operates 39 stores.

Southwick and Fishersgate Horticultural Society's summer show on Saturday was well supported by exhibitors.
It was one of the most competitive shows for years and three cups were shared.
John Cole and Ian Swyer shared the Gorringe Challenge Cup for flowers.
Jayne Pumfrey and Nikki Dabbs shared the Harvey Bowl for open floral art classes.
Terry Boxall and Ruth Stanyon shared the Albert Pettit Memorial Cup for open domestic classes.
There was also a tie for the Banksian Medal between John Cole and Ian Swyer but it was awarded to John Cole on the basis of winning most first prizes.
The annual flower and produce show was held at Southwick Community Centre and on entering the Barn Hall, visitors were treated to a glorious show of colour.
Dahlias and gladioli provided particularly impressive displays.
The vegetable, cookery and floral art classes were also well supported.
Children from Glebe Primary School entered paintings of daisy art, while children from Church Lane Nursery entered collages of daisy art. The judge was impressed by the standard of the entries.
Southwick Ukulele Players performed as planned but as the weather turned showery and blustery during the afternoon, it meant they had to perform indoors and the charity stalls had to cover up their goods from time to time.
The autumn show will be held on Saturday, October 31. Monthly meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month in the Garden Room at Southwick Community Centre. Visit www.sfhorticulturalsociety.org.uk for more information.
Other prize winners were:

DEAR AMY: My husband had an emotional affair with a teacher at my child's school last year.
They both lied to me repeatedly when I asked them to quit contacting each other, and the contact didn't stop until school was nearly over.
Being betrayed by two people whom I trusted has been extremely difficult. I think it's finally over, but I'm quite paranoid about the new school year starting when they will see each other again almost daily.
She is married, too, but that didn't seem to stop either of them.
I've saved copies of all their e-mails and cell phone records.
Part of me wants to share this information with the principal and the teacher's husband, but I know I should probably just let it go. --Betrayed Wife
DEAR BETRAYED: You should tell the school principal about this inappropriate relationship before the start of the new year. Even if the school doesn't have a stated policy prohibiting relationships between a teacher and the parent of a student, this shows terrible judgment on a multitude of levels -- most importantly concerning your son.
The school administrator should speak to this teacher about her actions, and your child should not be placed in any of her classes.
Professionals who work with children hold an important trust. They have a responsibility to safeguard the child's well-being. The teacher and your husband have destroyed her ability to work with your family.
In terms of your husband, I suggest counseling and total transparency regarding any contact with her. (He should have none and should tell you if she contacts him.)
You should notify her husband only if you feel doing so would benefit your marriage.
DEAR AMY: My 25-year-old daughter is living with my husband and me. During the past few years, while away at college, she gained about 40 pounds.
She is only 5-foot-2, so that is a lot of extra weight on someone who used to be in perfect shape.
She eats rapidly and chooses large quantities of fattening foods.
People say I cannot say anything to her because it will make her feel that she is only loved when she is perfect and will stress her into eating more.
Why is it that if you suspect your child is on drugs or engaging in other dangerous habits it's OK to intercede, but not if you see her eating toward obesity?
Do I have to just watch her overeat until she has 100 pounds to lose instead of 40? (I am 60 and am very fit and healthy.)
I am so worried about her that I cannot sleep most nights. I don't know how to approach my daughter without putting her on the defensive. -- Worried Mother
DEAR WORRIED: Any attempt you make to discuss this might put your daughter on the defensive -- or the offensive. Understand this before you start.
You can discuss weight with your daughter, but you should do so knowing that you can't solve this problem for her. Sometimes, concern comes off as pressure, and a person with an eating disorder is very reactive to pressure.
So you say, "Honey, I'm worried about you. Your eating seems out of control. I'd like to try to help, but first let's talk about what's going on with you." Do not compare her to you -- or to her formerly "perfect" self.
The answer for your daughter might be more complicated than diet and exercise. If she is bingeing her way into large weight gain, she may need clinical help.
DEAR AMY: A reader wondered what to do with a hideous gift of art from a friend.
Because these people are very good friends, it is easy to imagine that the receiver of the gift had at some time praised her friend's artwork. This was a time to be brutally frank. She could have praised the effort while making it clear that it was not her taste.
This is also a cautionary tale. Be truthful or you, too, might end up with a horror in an expensive baroque frame. -- Avid Reader
DEAR READER: Being frank without being "brutally frank" might also work.

90 Degrees South
The Barrier Silence CD
The Barrier Silence is the debut album from Cheltenham based 90 Degrees South. The album's title is taken from a poem by local Antarctic explorer Edward Wilson, who perished with Captain Scott on the return journey from the South Pole. Wilson lived on the hill overlooking the Jaguar Sound Studio where the album was recorded. A theme of pioneering travel under harsh conditions runs throughout the album, from the sub-zero sledge journeys through record-breaking transoceanic flight to soundtracks for travel by train, car, and motorcycle. The album's cover even includes a portrait of cross-Atlantic flyer Captain John Alcock. The critically acclaimed 90 Degrees South first appeared with the track 'U.H.F.' on Decalogue, the final installment in the Ochre 10" series. Picking up comparisons to Labradford, Calexico, and Tortoise... UK import.
