Hi, I have the following problem as posted a while ago:
"When I turn on my PC it goes to a screen that says missing or corrupt
Is there any way I can get this file back on my hard drive so it will boot?"
I have followed the advice the reply to this question and put in my XP CD-Rom, typing F12 on booting to get to a set up screen and selecting 'boot from CD-ROM'. Files are copied across and then I select 'r' for repair and it sends me to a black screen with a command line. The first question is which windows installation I want to select.
What number do I put in?
I tried '1' and I get to a command line. I have tried inputting the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive, expand pci.sy...etc, but I either get 'bad command' or 'access denied'.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
There are two repair options.
Most people select the first one....and that's not the one you want.
Start over....do not select the first one but wait for the welcome screen...except the license agreement......select setup. It will look for a previous windows installation.
Once found it will then offer the second repair option.......this is the one you want.
Note: you will lose updates, but not programs or personal files.
A how to...step by step is at
The part you need is about 1/3 down the page.

2 Maia/April 19
O, Madria Thema, Jana of Justice, Order and Harmony, be with us.
Dear Devotees,
Throughout this beautiful month of Maia …..(although here in Northern Massachusetts, we are still waiting for Spring. Snowing, yet, again)…….we will be posting various devotions, inspirational readings and crafts.
First, Madria Sophia had an excellent suggestion. In yesterday's post, I mentioned the time honoured tradition of praying novenas….where certain prayers are said for nine days in a row for an express purpose such as for healing or employment. Novenas may also be prayed for the purpose of praise, thanksgiving and devotion without a specific request.
Madria Sophia has suggested that a septena or a seven day novena might be more appropriate for Janites and, of course, this is a perfect idea.
Like novenas, septenas may be prayed in any time of need. Madria Sophia has done a lovely job of taking our Litany of the Celestial Mother https://deanic.com/holy-feminine-trinity/litany-of-the-celestial-mother/ and divided it up for a seven day novena or septena.
We might start a tradition whereby we begin the septena on 1 Maia or the first Sunnadi in Maia, but it may also be prayed at any time throughout the year.
It may be found, below.
I would also like to point out that Sorella Roselyn, on her blog has written an informative post for 1 Maia, followed by an hauntingly beautiful and inspirational writing about the Holy Daughter that is reminiscent of Thunder, Perfect Mind. See: https://priestessofholywisdom.wordpress.com/2018/04/18/marimaia/
and https://priestessofholywisdom.wordpress.com/2018/04/19/eve-norea-magdalena/
One popular craft in Maia is the May basket. There are many examples and 'how tos' to be found online including instructions for children's May Basket. Here are some great ideas : https://www.skiptomylou.org/10-simple-may-day-baskets-to-celebrate-may-day/

Today I'm experiencing a new issue with Windows 8.1 (64-Bit). The old WinHelp32.exe fix doesn't work anymore. Windows8.1-KB917607-x64.msu isn't functional anymore with Windows 8.1 (patch level December 2014).
What's the problem?
Windows 8.1 isn't shipped with support for old .hlp files. Luckily Microsoft provided a solution to view old .hlp files. The website Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) for Windows 8.1 provides instructions and files, to update Windows 8.1 in a way, that old .hlp files may be viewable.
Under normal circumstances it's sufficient, to download and install the appropriate .msu file. I've tested it with success in the past.
Windows 8.1 (Patchlevel December 2014) won't work anymore
Today I was stumbled uppon two entries in German MS answers forum (here and here), where users are claiming, that the old solutions won't work anymore. And I also received a similar e-mail. This user is claiming, that the old help file viewer works till end of November/ begin of December. But now Windows 8.1 fails to show .hlp files.
Testing it on one of my German Windows 8.1 64-bit-systems (patch level December 18. 2014), showed me, that Windows8.1-KB917607-x64.msu installed fine. But afterward I wasn't able to view .hlp files.
Currently I'm still investigating this issue (I just startet system restore to set my system back to May 2014). But my current guess is, that either December 9th patches or the today's patch KB 3025390: Fix for screwups in Internet Explorer 11 screwed up something. Any further suggestions are welcome.
Discussing technical background of this issue
The reason for this issue has been discussed in Microsoft Answers forum in thread November rollup KB3000850 and winhlp KB917607. In short: November rollup KB3000850 updated winhlp32.exe to a version, which doesn't support opening old .hlp files.
The problem: Since this new component have higher assembly version, installing the fixed hlp file component in KB917607 won't solve the hlp issue, because the fixed hlp file component become not active and isn't used. So users are facing this message again:
Unfortunatly I haven't seen an updated component KB917607 that fixes this issue.
Workaround for KB3000850 HLP file issue
A temporary workaround has been posted at Microsoft Answers-Forum from user Abbodi86 (the same guy who gave us the explanation above):
You can use this temporary workaround. Extract the script, and put KB917607 .msu file next to it, then run as admin.
However, this workaround will cause SFC to give an error regarding %windir%\winhlp32.exe – you can ignore in the mean time
Hope it helps – a feedback is appreciated.

The controversy over critical comments on GST and Digital India in Tamil film "Mersal" snowballed with Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi and party leader P. Chidambaram attacking the BJP over alleged attempts to muzzle criticism as BJP leaders justified their attack on actor Vijay who did the lead role in the movie….reports Asian Lite News
Several leaders of parties in Tamil Nadu, including DMK working president M.K. Stalin, joined the debate calling the demand for removal of some dialogues from the film as an attempt to stifle free speech.
Tamil Superstar Kamal Hassan and president of Film Producers Association Vishal also came out in support of Vijay.
Gandhi took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the demand for removal of dialogues critical of GST in the movie and asked him not to "demon-etise Tamil pride" by such interference.
"Mr. Modi, Cinema is a deep expression of Tamil culture and language. Don't try to demon-etise Tamil pride by interfering in Mersal," Gandhi said in a tweet.
Vijay has been panned for his dialogues in the film that takes a dig at GST and Digital India. Vijay, who had met Narendra Modi during electioneering ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, had even lauded demonetisation last year.
BJP's National Secretary H. Raja in a tweet on Friday raked up the actor's Christian origins.
"Joseph Vijay's hatred for Modi is 'Mersal'."
Tamil Nadu BJP President Tamilisai Soundararajan had demanded removal of the dialogues relating to GST, digital payments and temples from the movie as they spread a wrong message.
Earlier on Saturday, senior Congress leader P. Chidambaram attacked the BJP in tweets over its demand for removal of dialogues critical of GST in "Mersal".
"BJP demands deletion of dialogues in 'Mersal'. Imagine the consequences if 'Parasakthi' was released today.
"Notice to film makers: Law is coming, you can only make documentaries praising government's policies," he said, in a sarcastic note.
"Parasakthi" was a strong critique of the prevailing socio-economic order in 1950's, scripted and written by DMK leader M. Karunanidhi, and in which the actor, late Sivaji Ganesan mouthed his powerful dialogue.
Hitting back at Chidambaram, Union Minister and BJP leader Pon. Radhakrishnan wanted to know why the Congress leader was supporting Vijay, asking derisively whether he has funded the film.
H. Raja, continuing his criticism of the actor, said somebody who speaks on matters should be above board. "Vijay is not above board as he has faced tax raids and people will not believe him," he said.
Haasan, in his reaction, said those opposed to the film must "counter criticism with a logical response".
"'Mersal' was certified. Don't re-censor it. Counter criticism with logical response. Don't silence critics. India will shine when it speaks," Haasan tweeted on Friday.
Stalin in his tweet said: "BJP's attempt to muzzle criticism is contrary to democratic principles. The DMK always stands for freedom of speech & creative expression."
Vishal said any attempt to re-certify the film by taking it back to censors would be against the law.

On paper, Andrea Bargnani has the makeup of a franchise player. He's seven-feet tall, only 25 years old and averaged over 21 points per game this past season. But despite all that, the Raptors only won 22 games, with Bargnani missing eight of the final 10 due to a nagging ankle injury. So what is Toronto to do? Should they trade their No. 1 in order to improve? If AB had his druthers, he might be on his way out of town.
From Dave Feschuk of the Toronto Star:
Asked in a feature interview where he'd like to play if he could rub a magic lamp and transport himself to another NBA city, Bargnani told Italy's Sky Sports: "I want to stay in Toronto, at least this is the politically correct answer. If (I am) to go somewhere else, I'd like a warm climate city and a team where I can actually play in my role."
His role? Does he want to shoot less? This season, Bargnani averaged 17.8 field-goal attempts a game, second-most among NBA players who haven't made an All-Star team. Sure he was playing out of position most of the time at center, but that's something for the Raptors to address – not necessarily time to give up. But if the Genie is going to grant him his wish for greener (and warmer) pastures, there's already one idea surfacing: attempt to trade for Rudy Gay.
From Frank Zicarelli of the Toronto Sun:
Perhaps the price may end up involving Bargnani, Toronto's own trade exception obtained in the Chris Bosh sign-and-trade with the Heat, the No. 5 draft pick or any combination of assets for Gay.
What must be made clear is that if Gay is indeed available, then expect the Raptors to be involved.
If I'm the Grizzlies, I'd turn down this deal just like they did with the Cavs. But if they could perhaps get a third team involved that would be a better fit for Bargnani, they could be on to something.
What should the Raptors do with Bargnani: keep him or trade him?

Feeding America Southwest Virginia, Kroger and Q99 are teaming up to collect peanut butter throughout the month of August to support those facing hunger in Southwest Virginia.
During the month of August, Kroger stores throughout Southwest Virginia will be collecting jars of peanut butter. Shoppers may contribute peanut butter to the drive by placing plastic jars (no glass, please) in the specially marked bins located at the front of the stores. Kroger brand peanut butter will be included in the store's "10 for $10" offerings from August 15 through 18.
"Peanut butter is consistently one of the most requested foods we distribute, but it is also the least donated," said Pamela Irvine, President and CEO of Feeding America Southwest Virginia. "We're excited once again to have Kroger and Q99 supporting us as we collect this nutritious, high-protein, back-to-school staple to help hungry families."
In addition to local Kroger stores, donations may also be made at Feeding America Southwest Virginia, 1025 Electric Road in Salem.
"Kroger's Zero Hunger Zero Waste commitment is to end hunger in the communities we serve by 2025," said Allison McGee, corporate affairs manager for the Mid-Atlantic Division. "No family in a community we serve should ever go hungry. The peanut butter drive is an opportunity for people who are passionate about feeding people to join us in our mission."
Q99's (WSLQ-FM) David Page will host a live remote broadcast at the Bonsack Kroger store on Sunday, August 19, from noon – 2 p.m. with music, the Q99 prize wheel and other activities.
Throughout the month of August, Feeding America Southwest Virginia will also accept donations online for the purchase of peanut butter at www.faswva.org/peanutbutter. These donations will be matched by Kroger up to $4,000.

Accelerated Learners
Accelerated learners are well supported at Portchester Community School. These students are identified by test scores at Key Stage 2 and on entry into Year 7. Other students are identified by their subject teachers as being particularly gifted in their subjects. Portchester Community School, like all schools nationally, is required to keep a register of these students. The attainment and progress of Accelerated Learners on this register are continually monitored by their subject teachers and the Accelerated Learners Coordinator to make sure they achieve their full potential. Interventions are put in place where necessary with specific targets for underperforming students.
There are many opportunities for Accelerated Learners at Portchester Community School to broaden their horizons. Students have been able to write to and share stories with students in Mongolia and have been involved with spelling bees in Modern Foreign Languages and Sky Sports' Living for Sport projects in P.E. They have had the opportunity to work with a Fine Arts graduate in Art, have attended The Clothes Show through textiles and had the opportunity to study Statistics in Mathematics. This is in addition to a range of extra-curricular clubs and lessons on offer across the curriculum, as well as differentiated learning experiences during lesson time.
At Portchester Community School, we like to provide students with the necessary guidance on the types of careers that are out there and how to be successful in whichever avenue they choose. Below is a list of websites that you might find useful as well as a list of celebrities that attended university and then went on to have successful careers. Some of them are quite surprising! Exam time is rapidly approaching and Year 11 students will be part of a mentoring scheme to ensure that their targets are achieved. We will also be visited by the Outreach branch of the University of Portsmouth to discuss the options open to students lower in the school and to help raise students' aspirations.

Morrissey's live return hit a snag as his originally scheduled appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night will not happen after learning the cast of the A&E duck hunting-based reality show Duck Dynasty are also appearing on the same evening.
Standing behind his beliefs for animal rights, he refused to appear with the Robertsons from Duck Dynasty and demanded them to be rebooked for another night.
According to the show's website, the musical guest would be Churchill and not Morrissey.
He issued a statement in regards to the matter:
"Morrissey is thankful for being invited to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live tomorrow, February 26. However, he cannot morally be on a television program where the cast members of Duck Dynasty will also be guests. Morrissey would be honored to play the show, if Duck Dynasty were removed.
As far as my reputation is concerned, I can't take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers. If Jimmy cannot dump Duck Dynasty then we must step away."
Morrissey has rescheduled his upcoming tour dates to be begin on February 27th in San Diego, CA. As part of his animal rights activism, it was reported that his upcoming show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA would be serving 100% vegetarian and vegan food.

Stuff has posted a story by Bevan Woodword who is cited as: the project director for SkyPath and spokesperson for Movement, an alliance of national organisations seeking safe journeys for active transport users.
It's typical of what passes for "analysis" in transport policy among many advocates, and those who are part of the "green" central planning school of transport thinking. It's shoddy and full of errors, which I'll outline below. He outlines "six interventions that would make our transport system safer, more efficient and sustainable"...
1. Let's tax fossil fuels: Hang on. Existing taxes on petrol, excluding GST are over 69c/l (including the Emissions Trading Levy). The Government is already planning to increase it. Yes there is only a small 3.33c/l on diesel, but that's because Road User Charges recover the costs of maintaining and improving roads from diesel powered vehicles. There ARE taxes on fossil fuels (except fuel oil for shipping and aviation fuel for international flights, but I don't think he thinks about modes off the land). Taxes on petrol have been increasing by inflation for some years now.
However, he argues that the taxes should be punitive, not for a purpose other than to make it more expensive to own a car that burns fossil fuels, so that those who can afford it can buy electric cars. He says "the air we breathe will be healthier", yet there is little evidence New Zealand has a serious air quality issue due to pollution from road vehicles (although there are localised problems in parts of Auckland). So it's just a guess. He says the "tax money can fund better alternatives to driving". Yet, over 15% of the revenue collected from road users is spent on public transport, cycling and walking infrastructure.
It's as if he is completely unaware of the current government transport revenue and funding system. No doubt he thinks making it more and more expensive for everyone to drive, including the poor, the elderly and in particular people in regional and rural areas, is good for them because it will "fund alternatives". So if you're in Kaitaia, Kaitangata, Karori or Katikati, you'll pay more, even though the odds are that in only one of those cases you might have an alternative that Bevan "approves".
2. We need to reward those who use public transport: Of course many urban public transport users are already rewarded, because on average about half of the cost of their travel is subsidised by road users and ratepayers. It is nonsense to say "Every person using public transport is helping to relieve traffic congestion and reduce the need for expensive new roads". A fair proportion of those using it either have no reasonable alternative or would share a car trip with another, not everyone on public transport can hop into a car (or would) if it wasn't there. Yes, airlines (which do provide public transport). reward frequent flyers, but that is a market, it is commercial and it appeared spontaneously. Long distance public transport (coaches, trains, ferries and airlines) is not subsidised in New Zealand, but that isn't what Bevan thinks of.
3. Put safety experts in charge of our country's road safety: Um, who does he think works for NZ Transport Agency (which incorporated the Land Transport Safety Authority). NZ's road death rate is twice the rate of the UK because the UK had 15x the population, and most of its major highways are equivalent to a motorway standard in New Zealand (so no head on collisions and few loss of control accidents). Norway and Switzerland also have low accident rates because the road network in those countries is so superior. He says: In New Zealand, politicians are required to approve road safety decisions - such as whether to implement pedestrian crossings, protected cycle lanes, safer speed limits, road safety improvements, compulsory third party insurance, and mandatory professional driver licence training. Most politicians have no expertise in road safety.
No, you wont fund a Minister approving a pedestrian crossing, or even a cycle lane or road safety improvements. Yes Councillors have some role in this for local roads, but state highways are managed by professionals. Compulsory third party insurance is largely irrelevant in New Zealand because of ACC (which is compulsory socialised "insurance"). Yes, most politicians have no expertise in road safety, but you don't either.
4. We need to replace the Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) approach used to assess and prioritise transport projects: Do keep up Bevan, this was significantly diluted around 15 years ago with the Land Transport Management Act. BCR is only one factor used to prioritise projects. It is "biased towards roading projects" because, surprise surprise, it is funded by road users. It does take into account carbon emissions, but it doesn't value them above everything else (the UK did this a few years ago, encouraging low CO2 emitting diesel vehicles over others, and local air quality got worse). Don't worry, the tool that prioritises what road users want their money spent on isn't used how you think it is.
5. Apply road pricing: Now I'm fine with this, but Bevan doesn't realise that NZ already has road user charges. Yes, I'm all in favour of a commercial market approach to charging for roads, but that doesn't include taxing fuel and it means roads being supplied on a market approach as well as priced that way. He thinks the poor can be helped out by free public transport, though he is unlikely to find that works for people in Huntly, Carterton, Westport or Tuatapere. I don't think Bevan really wants a market though, because it would go against most of what he wants.
6. Treat our roads as valuable spaces. Our streets must not become traffic sewers: What does that even mean? Does it mean he thinks vehicles on roads are "sewerage", whether they carry people or goods? That's just trendy pejorative nonsense.
He wants to "reduce traffic", but implies that a lot of traffic necessarily interferes with walking, cycling and horse riding. It doesn't if it is on roads purpose built for traffic, and local streets are left for local access.
The truth is that there is a congestion problem, mainly in Auckland, mainly because market mechanisms aren't used to manage both the demand and supply of roads. However, road transport has never been safer, never been cleaner (in terms of pollution) and never been cheaper. Yes, local authorities haven't always thought about how pedestrians fit into the urban environment, and there are locations that could do with traffic bypassing areas better suited for pedestrians and cyclists, but this set of measures devalues the freedom, flexibility, time saving and comfort that private motoring offers millions. New Zealand DID have railway services across much of the country, also with complementary bus services, but New Zealanders bought cars when they could afford them, paid petrol tax to improve the roads, and politicians by and large responded accordingly. Many other changes in transport patterns have occurred over the years, including huge expansion in air travel, and the recent growth in Uber, all due to individuals and entrepreneurs responding to opportunities.
Bevan, unfortunately, is seeking the command and control central planners' approach to transport. He wants to tax the choices people currently make, to pay for the ones he thinks are good for them. Unfortunately, he doesn't realise that most of his suggestions are already in place in one form or another.
I think urban design should be supportive of pedestrian access, and cycling where there is demand to justify it. However, too often this slips beyond advocating for improvements, to a barely disguised attack on motorised road transport, to make it slower, more expensive and less desirable. If people want to walk and bike, then good luck to them, but why do these advocates for walking and cycling think it is their business to get in the way of people who drive for work, pleasure or business?
SkyPath is the advocacy group for a project to put a cycleway and walkway on the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Movement describes itself as "a strong, effective, national voice for active transport users (including elderly, disabled and children)." Well we are all "active transport users" as we all walk.
Its vision is:
For people walking, cycling or using mobility aids, conditions are often unsafe or unpleasant.
Their only option to be completely dependent on a private vehicle. Providing good facilities for active transport, delivers immense benefits: a healthier society, less traffic congestion, more livable communities and an enhanced environment.
Bevan Woodword's profile says: Bevan's work with BetterWorld NZ includes a wide range of sustainable transport consultancy. He has worked towards the goal of walking and cycling across the AHB for more than 10 years, along with many other initiatives to improve transport choice for Aucklanders.

You are invited to attend:
An evening with Bob Lovelace
Wed. Aug. 13, 2008 – 7:00 p.m.
Hart House, Debates Room, 2nd floor
7 Hart House Circle , University of Toronto
(direction by subway: go to St. George station, walk south, left on Harbord)
Meet Bob Lovelace, former Ardoch Algonquin First Nation chief and Queen's University lecturer, who was sentenced to six months in jail for saying 'no' to uranium mining on indigenous lands. Lovelace made this stand in defense of the Earth and Creation, which indigenous peoples regard as sacred.
Popular support for this cause contributed to the decision by 22 Ontario municipalities to vote against uranium mining and a promise by the Ontario government to revise antiquated legislation which currently gives mining companies 'free entry' to contested indigenous lands and private property. At stake is indigenous sovereignty, protection of the boreal forests from contamination by toxic mine tailings, and the right of indigenous communities to say no development which affects them.
Mr. Lovelace will share his reflections on the events of the last year, the meaning that the land has for indigenous peoples, and the challenges that attend to the current age of mass industrial development and destruction of the land.
Sponsored and promoted by GSU Social Justice Committee (U of T), Toronto MiningSupport Group/Students Against Climate Change, Sam Gindin Chair ( Ryerson University ), University of Toronto Students Union .

Jury has questions as deliberations continue in Halifax jail cell death case
Published Saturday, November 9, 2019 6:29PM AST
Corey Rogers lies on the floor under police custody at the Halifax police station, wearing a spit hood at about 11 p.m. on June 15, 2016 in this still image taken from surveillance video provided by Nova Scotia Courts. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO, Province of Nova Scotia Courts)
HALIFAX -- A Nova Scotia jury will return to deliberations Sunday morning in the case of two special constables charged in the death of an impaired 41-year-old man who suffocated in a Halifax police jail cell.
Daniel Fraser and Cheryl Gardner have been on trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court on charges of criminal negligence causing the death of Corey Rogers on June 16, 2016.
The 12-person jury sent a series of notes to Justice Kevin Coady on Saturday asking for clarifications on the essential legal ingredients needed to convict the constables.
Under the Criminal Code of Canada, criminal negligence is defined as completing or omitting any duty in a way that shows "wanton or reckless disregard" for the lives or safety of others.
However, a note said jurors are unclear on a preliminary legal test of whether the special constables' actions were a "marked and substantial departure" from what a reasonably prudent person would do in the circumstances.
At 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Coady committed to providing a written copy early Sunday morning of additional oral explanations he provided on this point during the deliberations.
As of 5 p.m. Saturday, the jury had been sitting for almost 11 hours.
The Crown has argued the death was caused by the constables' failure to follow basic safety practices, such as entering Rogers' cell and gently shaking him to see if he was conscious.
Prosecutor Chris Vanderhooft has also said Fraser and Gardner failed to fulfil their duty to care for Rogers by not removing a spit hood arresting officers placed on him, given the inmate's extremely intoxicated condition.
The jury was shown video of Rogers heaving in a cell while wearing the spit hood, and an autopsy suggested the inmate had vomited into the mask and died from suffocation.
The defendants have argued they were following the usual procedures when checking Rogers' cell, and the threshold for a criminal code conviction has not been met.
"All of us who work for a living know there are written rules and there are rules. You can't follow every rule blindly. You have to adapt the rules to your workplace," defence lawyer David Bright told jurors earlier this week.
"This was not in my respectful submission to you, criminal negligence. There was no marked departure from a baseline."
Both constables testified in their defence. Special constables are employed by the police department and are appointed to specialized duties as peace officers, including the booking of prisoners, but they are not considered police officers.
Fraser said he had been told by a superior that the requirement to rouse inmates only applied in "high risk" cases, and he did not consider Rogers to be such a case.
"He seemed to be sleeping it off," he testified.
He also said an arresting officer told him Rogers was "playing possum" when he appeared unable to stand in the entrance area to the jail.
Gardner testified she didn't notice anything unusual about the prisoner when she checked on him in his cell.
She said she looked in on Rogers several times while he was lying face down in a so-called "dry cell" and that on the first occasion he moaned and moved his shoulder in her direction.
However Gardner said she never entered the cell to check on him and assumed that he was just "sleeping it off" when he could be seen breathing but didn't respond to her later questions.
Vanderhooft said video evidence showed the last time Rogers moved was between 11:38 and 11:41 p.m. on June 15, but it was two hours later when Fraser called out to Rogers and finally decided to enter the cell and remove the spit hood.
"Unfortunately it was too late. Corey had vomited long before and could not clear his own airway because the spit hood was covering his mouth," the prosecutor said.
The jury is gathering at 9:30 a.m. on Sunday to receive the new written instructions.

What Social Media & Internet Marketing Training Is Most Beneficial For YOUR Business?
I'm putting together a killer online marketing system that will turbo charge your lead generation and save you tons of time, stress, and money …
But I need your input so that it will meet the specific needs of YOUR business.
I want to know your biggest challenge, obstacle, or frustration with social media and internet marketing, so that we can drastically shorten your learning curve and teach you the targeted things that will make the biggest impact on YOUR business.
I'm sure you are fully aware that your business MUST be online these days, but what is it in your business that causes you the most frustration or confusion?
Please answer this brief [takes less than 5 min] set of questions about
your business
Next week I'm launching a high value internet marketing and social media solution that will be a very simple resource to move your business onto the sales lead domination track.
It's an online resource that you can hand off to your secretary, administrative assistant, intern or son/daughter college student who's at home for the summer.
It's not theory or training – it's weekly action steps. And ANYONE can do them and get business results.
After speaking with a lot of small business owners and non-profits, here's how the system will be set up. Each week one action step will be delivered via video accompanied by a simple fill in the blank style worksheet.
Each video is 10 minutes with one simple clear action step at the end. After just the first four weeks your business will have a head start to dominate your competition online. Plus we will have a live monthly Q&A call with all the users of the system.
Before we put the finishing touches on this system – I need to hear from you. I've got a simple set of questions that will take you less than 5 minutes to fill out.
It will be the chance for you to actually "design" the kind of system you'd like to see.
You can let us know the type of system you'd like to see here.
As a thank you for giving me your thoughts – I'd like to share my newest report "10 Mistakes You Are Making With Social Media That Will Destroy Your Credibility."
After you fill out the questions you'll be taken to a download page that has the download PDF on it.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

MSI Afterburner 2.2.0 Beta 9
Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/25/2011 04:54 AM [ 0 comment(s) ]
Guru3D and MSI have been working hard on AfterBurner, today we release an updated Beta revision of Afterburner, this application successfully secured the leading position on graphics card utilities.
Today we release an updated Beta revision of Afterburner, this application successfully secured the leading position on graphics card utilities. We're happy to see MSI Afterburner is leading the overclock applications. MSI Afterburner 2.2.0 Beta 9 is ready
Changes list includes:
- Added core voltage control for reference design NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti *** cores series graphics cards
- Added core, memory and auxiliary PEXVDD voltage control for custom design MSI N560GTX-*** Twin Frozr III Power Edition series graphics cards with uP6218+uP6262 voltage regulators
- MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 4.2.4. New version gives you the following improvements:
o Now MSI Afterburner displays captured video file time, size, per-frame compression ratio and time in the On-Screen Display next to the video capture progress indicator only when "Show own statistics" option is enabled in the server's properties
o Added power user oriented application profile setting allowing MSI On-Screen Display Server to detect runtime function offsets dynamically on each 3D application startup. This provides On-Screen Display functionality support in applications using modified Direct3D runtime libraries (e.g. FXAA injection Direct3D runtimes)
o Updated profiles list
- Added new compatibility option allowing using protected kernel mode low-level access to hardware instead of user mode one. This option can also be used to bypass Punkbuster related stability issues
- Now MSI Afterburner restores default hardware automatic fan control mode when logging off from Windows
- Now power users may enable optional single tray icon mode via the configuration file. When single tray icon mode is enabled, the primary application tray icon is being replaced with hardware monitoring tray icon(s) if monitoring in system tray is enabled and MSI On-Screen Display server's icon is not being displayed in tray when the server is loaded. Please take a note that MSI On-Screen Display server's properties are still accessible via "More" button in "OSD" tab
- Now shared control memory reinitialization is initiated by delayed fan speed readback mechanism
- Now MSI Afterburner can restart itself automatically instead of displaying restart requirement notification after changing some global compatibility options, e.g. unlocking voltage control or disabling low-level hardware access interface
- Now DirectX web setup is integrated into the installer
- Fixed critical typos in Polish language pack

Successful performance in first-in-human and early feasibility studies is a critical milestone for medical devices.
By providing valuable data that cannot be obtained from preclinical testing, these studies can expedite product development and optimize opportunities for bringing devices to market. Conducting first-in- human and early feasibility studies requires specialized product development and clinical trial expertise that smaller companies often lack. BBA can help fill this gap. We have a track record of partnering effectively with clients to deliver product readiness, regulatory and clinical support throughout this challenging process.
BBA serves as a lean, nimble extension of your team. We focus not only on how to position the product to demonstrate its mechanism of action, but also on determining the optimal patient cohort and understanding procedural considerations unique to your product. Minimizing risk during the process is important to us. So we have devised the robust, risk-based Desario™ decision-making method, which allows you to consider various use scenarios and performance/safety risks for the product and track resulting design refinements. We believe our holistic, cross-functional approach optimally supports preparation for first clinical studies and streamlines the path to successful regulatory approval. Along the way, our integrated team can offer insights into product and study design to anticipate favorable reimbursement and market access. Thorough early usage data, meanwhile, paves the way for adoption into hospital settings.

Standard 12 team, 5x5 scoring. Took over a garbage team in a league that lets you keep 10 (plus two players with < 1.000 service time), and have basically been casting my net out to any players under 30 and hoping I get a few hits.

As "The Fault In Our Stars" premiere inches closer and closer, the cast is gearing up to show fans the movie version of the beloved young adult book by John Green. Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff, Laura Dern and Sam Trammell joined Green and director Josh Boone in New York City this weekend for a press conference in which they discussed the making of the most-anticipated films of the year.
So, how did Woodley and Elgort land the coveted roles of teenage cancer patients and star-crossed lovers, Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters?
"I saw a lot of people, but when Shailene did her audition, the first thing I thought maybe after a minute-and-a-half was, 'Why did I make this so hard on myself.' She was absolutely, hands down, [Hazel]," Boone said during the press conference at the Crosby Street Hotel on May 4. "As soon as she left the room it was like, 'Alright get on the phone, let's do it.'" As for Elgort, Boone said the 20-year-old's "purity" sold him. "There are so many different elements [to Gus] -- the intelligence, the sensitivity, the aloofness. But it's also a little bit of goofiness and to have one guy who could embody all that, I didn't know if we'd ever find him."
Boone explained that the fact that Woodley and Elgort play brother and sister in the "Divergent" films wasn't something he was too keen on at first, but, in the end, that connection ended up making the bond between Hazel and Gus that much stronger.
"It wasn't that weird because I've always sort of wondered what it'd be like kissing my brother," Woodley joked when asked about what it was like making the transition from onscreen siblings to onscreen love interests.
"There's something really beautiful about working with someone and working with them again and again and again because the more you get to know somebody on a personal level, the more free you feel artistically," Woodley continued. "I think that if Ansel and I hadn't known each other from 'Divergent,' our relationship in this movie would not be what it is because we didn't have to go through the rehearsal phase of getting to know one another and feeling comfortable with one another. There would be times when we'd disagree, and if we didn't know each other, we might not say we disagree, because there's that politeness. We were very open with one another when something wasn't going the way we envisioned. It completely lent to these characters."
"I guess everything is meant to be, and thank God we were brother and sister," she added as Elgort shook his head in agreement. "And now we get to spend the next four years together, which is pretty freakin' rad."
As for how Elgort is dealing with the chaos that surrounds a book-turned-movie, the Hollywood newcomer insists he just wants to make the fans happy, and he thinks Boone's adaptation will.
"We surprised the first-ever fan screening of "The Fault In Our Stars' last night [May 3] and when we walked in the theater, they all started freaking out and screaming and they were so happy, and they wouldn't have done that if the movie was bad," Elgort said to some laughter. "If the movie is bad, they would throw tomatoes at us or throw eggs at us [nice joke, Ansel!] and they would not be screaming. So it was such a relief, such a reward, to walk in there and see them embrace us and be so happy and I could feel their relief too, that something that they were so protective over has become a movie that I think is very, very good."
"The Fault In Our Stars" hits theaters June 6.

FDA Admits Arsenic In Chicken Meat

After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from:It's added to the chicken feed on purpose!
Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years, American consumers who eat conventional chicken have been swallowing arsenic, a known cancer-causing chemical. http://www.phillyburbs.com...
But now the evidence is so undeniable that the manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as Roxarsone has decided to pull the product off the shelves (http://www.grist.org...). And what's the name of this manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in the chicken feed for all these years? Pfizer, of course -- the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that are injected into children.

I don't even know what to do anymore. Eat arsenic, drink it (it is high in some areas of nation). Even if I stop eating chicken, I'm sure I'm getting something in beef, vegetables. Heck, even the BPA free water bottle has another chemical so similar to BPA that it messes with the estrogen receptors just like BPA does.
It all makes me want to become a farmer so I know where my food comes from. On the other hand maybe low doses helps your body prepare for handling impurities because one will never eliminate ingesting 100% of bad for you chemicals.
Even raw spinach has a really bad chemical for you........I don't know what to do anymore other than ignore all this low level stuff.... which is really bad.

Couldn't the arsenic be in the feed to prevent bacteria from growing in the feed? We all know that some of these places don't treat the animals the best.
