There are lots of good reasons to get plenty of fiber in your diet, and tons of recommendations out there explaining how to do it.

But so many of those recommendations seem to involve "eat more healthy whole grains!" ... and that's just not helpful to those of us with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, since those whole grains most often involve the gluten grain wheat. There are some gluten-free whole grain products on the market, but they generally don't offer huge amounts of fiber.

But there's a silver lining to our fibery dilemma: some recent medical studies have hinted that fiber from vegetables and legumes may be more important to our overall good health than fiber from whole grains. So you may be better off, health-wise, getting fiber from veggies and beans than those who get their daily fiber by downing a huge bowl of Toasted Mega-Bran cereal.

You're supposed to get so much daily fiber — 38 grams for men, 25 grams for women — that the daily task seems pretty daunting, especially since you, a celiac or someone who's gluten-sensitive, obviously can't eat that bowl of Toasted Mega-Bran for breakfast. At best, getting enough fiber seems like a chore. At worst, it seems impossible.

But I'm here to tell you it's not impossible ... not at all. In fact, getting your fiber can be fun, because good food is fun and lots of fiber-filled foods are good. Click on for 15 fantastic ideas to incorporate fiber into your diet easily and tastily.

When it comes to fiber, those aforementioned "healthy whole grains" usually are first on every list, followed by beans. But here at Gluten-Free Headquarters, we're moving beans up to the top of our list.

Beans of many varieties are loaded with fiber — a cup of black beans, pinto beans or kidney beans provides nearly 20 grams. Garbanzo beans (also known as chickpeas) get you 12 grams a cup, while green peas are more than 13 grams a cup.

If you're going for a fiber one-two punch, then you need to know that lentils, lima beans, and butter beans will only get you partway there: they contain half the fiber or less than some of their legume cousins. Nonetheless, they're still great dietary choices (and can add plenty of flavor to your dinner plate).

But whatever bean you choose, you should know that beans can contain high levels of gluten cross-contamination ... so you need to choose wisely. Here's some advice on how to find safe beans:

Where To Find Safely Gluten-Free Beans

Gluten-Free Beans for the Most Sensitive Among Us

When people think of health food, they often think of kale and kale's sister greens: turnip greens, spinach, mustard greens, Swiss chard, and beet tops. Unfortunately, the next thought in some peoples' minds is "yuck."

Kale and its relatives are the epitome of everything people love and hate about healthy eating ... which is sad, because they not only can provide oodles of fiber (between eight and 14 grams per cooked cup), they also can be incredibly flavorful.

Spinach salad with gluten-free bacon? Sign me up — a large, dinner-sized salad will get you between eight and 10 grams of fiber (and a delicious meal).

Coconut has a lot of fiber ... some seven grams per cup. If you eat the entire coconut (not necessarily recommended, at least if you're not currently living on a deserted tropical island), a single coconut will provide all the daily fiber you need, plus some.

So how can we use coconut (short of eating the whole thing raw, of course)? In plenty of ways, actually. We can toss shredded coconut onto salads, fruit or puddings (two tablespoons gets you seven grams of fiber), we can use coconut flour to bake (half a cup has almost 30 grams of fiber), or we can make delicious cookies.

If you're looking for something you don't have to cook, Jennies Macaroons (one of my favorite sweet snacks) even contain some fiber: about three grams per two macaroon cookies. Just don't overdo it, as most varieties are also loaded with sugar.

Few people think of corn as a grain (most believe it's a vegetable). But it is from the grain family, and honestly, you can't get much more whole grain than just-shucked corn on the cob.

Freshly-shucked corn is just about perfectly gluten-free (yes, corn does have a form of gluten, but not the kind that makes us sick). And one ear has five grams of fiber. So if you down two or three ears at a cookout, that's 10 to 15 grams of fiber — a respectable amount.

I'll bet you didn't think of artichokes when I mentioned fiber. That's okay — I didn't think of them either at first. But it turns out these spiky vegetables are a decent source of the fibrous stuff (perfectly gluten-free, of course).

One artichoke gets you nearly five grams of fiber, while a small handful of artichoke hearts tossed in your salad will provide seven or eight grams.

I'm not going to bug you to eat your broccoli, but you should know there are numerous good reasons to do so ... not the least of those reasons, broccoli's fiber punch.

The cute green stalks contain close to 10 grams of fiber per cooked cup, ranking them high among green vegetables for fibrous content.

And broccoli is versatile — you can eat it raw with salad or dips (or even with gluten-free salsa), or blend it into soups or your favorite gluten-free pasta dish.

Do you know the difference between sweet potatoes and yams? Although the names are used virtually interchangeably in grocery stores, the two gluten-free foods (from completely unrelated plants, no less) differ in important ways ... not the least of which is in their fiber content.

A sweet potato (the orange tuber you're probably more accustomed to seeing in your local supermarket) actually has less fiber than a true yam: three grams of fiber for the medium-sized sweet potato, compared to five grams for the same sized yam.

Yams also come in different colors, including white and purple. Their skin looks like tree bark, and they're a starchier, more fibrous vegetable — plus, believe it or not, they're sweeter than sweet potatoes. Recipes for sweet potatoes will work for yams. Just don't eat yams raw, as (like many root vegetables) they're toxic that way.

If you can't find yams, go with sweet potatoes — they may not have quite as much fiber, but they're still a healthy choice.

You probably realize that fruit is filled with fiber. Of course, some fruits have more fiber than others. So if you want a real one-two punch, consider apples and pears.

Both apples and pears contain about four grams of fiber per each piece of fruit. Combine them in an apple-pear salad or for a snack, and you're well on your way to meeting your day's allotment of fiber.

You also can consider grilling your apples and pears, which gives them a unique, smoky-sweet flavor while still preserving their fiber content.

Many people who follow the gluten-free diet also avoid grains or eat low-carb. For you (and for everyone else) I offer this low-carb, grain-free rice substitute made of cauliflower:

How To Make Cauliflower Rice

Not only does this simple recipe provide the perfect white rice substitute for low-carbers and those not eating grains, it boosts your daily fiber intake: one large head of cauliflower contains 21 grams of fiber and makes up to eight cups of "rice." You can use it wherever you planned to use rice.

For an even more interesting twist on "rice," try using purple or orange cauliflower ... or even a combination of both.

Of course, if you don't feel like doing the prep work involved in cauliflower rice, you can skip the rice part and just eat cauliflower — it's got 2.5 grams of fiber per cup, regardless of color.

As you probably know, white rice doesn't have much fiber -- just a little more than half a gram in a cup. At that rate, you'd need to eat 50 cups of rice (or more!) to get your daily allotment.

That's the bad news. The good news is, brown rice and wild rice have considerably more fiber: some 3.5 grams per cup. Although they're not up there with some of our top vegetables (artichokes, you don't need to worry), these more fibrous forms of rice can provide a nice lift towards your daily fiber goals if you sub them for white rice. We mix them together before cooking at home, and almost always have some on hand.

Lundberg Rice has several varieties of brown and wild rice, all gluten-free. Learn more about choosing safe rice here: Is ALL Rice Gluten-Free? (Sometimes It's Not!)

You also can consider buying some gluten-free rice bran (Bob's Red Mill makes it) — you can sprinkle it on cereal and even salads, and add it to muffins and other baked goods. Rice bran contains 18 grams of fiber per cup.

From the crunchiness of raw celery, you'd probably think it has lots of fiber ... and you'd be right: raw celery contains eight grams of fiber per cup.

And those are just some of the biggest gluten-free fiber sources — gluten-free foods where you can easily knock off a third or even more of your fiber needs for the day. But obviously, you'll find some fiber in many, many foods. Here are a couple of runners-up, plus how to use them:

Carrots. These orange root vegetables contain 3.5 grams of fiber per half cup. Eat them raw, steamed or sauteed, perhaps in a stir-fry dish.

Asparagus. This is my favorite vegetable. Asparagus has multiple health benefits, including about 1.5 grams of fiber per half cup. As with carrots, you can eat fresh stalks raw (choose the tender, thinner ones), or steam, boil or sauté them.

Beets. These are fun, once you get the hang of working with them, and they've got nearly four grams of fiber per cup.

Berries. All are delicious (I'd have trouble choosing a favorite). Blackberries and raspberries may be the most fibrous, with four grams of fiber per half cup. Blueberries contain about two grams of fiber per half cup, while strawberries and cherries contain a little more than one gram. If you can find them, try boisonberries (3.5 grams per half cup) or loganberries (four grams per half cup).

Johannesburg - The National Treasury has stopped national and provincial government departments from making payments via the internet due to risks associated with such transactions.
But the Treasury has denied the move was in response to elaborate online frauds such as phishing and 419 scams.
"However, it might well assist in combating these schemes as well," spokesman Jabulani Sikhakhane said.
According to the instruction issued by Accountant-General Michael Sass earlier this month, the Reserve Bank and commercial banks will be advised not to grant departments direct internet access to capture payments, except for payments released from the Corporation of Public Deposits to a province's revenue fund, into which all money received by a provincial government including their equitable share and grants must be paid.
The Corporation of Public Deposits is a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank, accepts deposits from the public sector and invests the funds in short-term money-market instruments and special Treasury bills.
Sass said all banks had been ordered to process only payments that had been generated by departments' financial systems.
For urgent payments an additional cashbook had to be arranged with the national Treasury.
"Under no circumstances may the direct internet payment facility be used for this type of transaction," Sass warned.
Sikhakhane told The Sunday Independent that the national Treasury was in discussion with the Co-operative Government and Traditional Affairs Department to introduce similar measures for the country's 278 municipalities.
"The national Treasury cannot impose the current restrictions on municipalities as they (municipalities) do not use the same financial systems as national and provincial government," he said.
The Treasury continuously reviewed payment systems and processes to safeguard cash and the banking environment.
"There are a number of risks associated with the use of multiple payment systems and these include the payment of invalid invoices, duplicate payments, as well as inaccurate cash-flow planning," he said.
According to Sikhakhane, these risks prompted Sass to introduce additional control measures to ensure that no losses were suffered by the fiscus.
He said the instruction ensured that only payments captured and duly authorised on the department's financial systems could be processed for payment.
Sikhakhane assured those in business with the government that the instruction note would not impede service delivery and the state's ability to pay small businesses within 30 days, and that the decision had improved the control environment by ensuring only valid payments originated from the financial system would be processed.
In February, former finance minister Pravin Gordhan announced that the government would invest up to R847 billion over the next three years on public infrastructure.
Sass's office promotes and enforces transparency and effective management of revenue expenditure, assets and liabilities of institutions in all three spheres of government including the administration of the National Revenue Fund and the Reconstruction and Development Programme Fund, as well as banking services for national departments.
He is also responsible for capacity building, Municipal Finance Management Act implementation, accounting support and integration, internal audit support, risk management, technical support services, governance monitoring and compliance, specialised audit services and financial systems.
Last year, Dihlabeng Local Municipality mayor Tjhetane Mofokeng paid R109 900 in "service and accreditation fees" to the Europe Business Assembly, which would award him the world's best mayor award.
Free State Premier Ace Magashule intervened and cancelled it, saying it was improper to pay for an award, which would have seen Mofokeng travel to Switzerland to receive his dubious honour.
In 2012, then deputy Auditor-General Kimi Makwetu warned that lax government information technology system security should be tightened to make it less vulnerable to hackers.
In 2010, the auditor-general's official website was hacked by the Ashiyane Digital Security Team, which has a programme that automatically detects websites with lax security.
The national Treasury instruction will officially be in force from July 1.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that measures the movement of water molecules in tumours may be the best way to monitor the response to treatment of women with advanced ovarian cancer, shows a study that compares different types of imaging in this group of patients.
The study compared three different MRI techniques and found that diffusion weighted MRI was the most effective for detecting the effects of treatment on primary ovarian tumours and on tumours that had metastasised to surrounding tissues (Radiology doi:10.1148/radiol.11110175).
Computed tomography has traditionally been used to assess whether patients with ovarian cancer should continue with chemotherapy after their first …

10 Things You Didn't Know About George Strait
8. His First Movie Role Was in a Terrorist Action Film
George Strait played himself in a 1982 movie called 'The Soldier.' The plot, according to IMDB, is as follows: "Terrorists take over a plutonium bomb and threaten to detonate it in a Saudi Arabian oil field. A special anti-terrorist unit is sent in to stop them."
How a country musician fits into that context is anyone's guess, as very few people watched the movie. The film grossed just over $6 million and there isn't a memorable actor involved in the project (sans Strait). We hear the scene with the King involved a barroom brawl, however.

Mic stuck on & can't record via Line In
I have been trying to record an old vinyl track to my PC but am finding it hard to understand how to with Win 7. In the course of my attempts I used Windows Troubleshooter which has resulted in a problem so I need to undo the changes it made. Then I need assistance with how to record via LINE IN.
1. Since using Windows Troubleshooting (Hardware&Sound|Recording Audio) my MS Lifecam VX5000 has taken over, its mic is now permanently on so that I either have to unplug the camera when not actually using it (for Skype) or turn off the speakers. How can I restore the settings to how they were i.e. so that the mic is only on when the camera is in use?
2. I want to record some music from old LP records to add to some video recordings I've made. Until now (on my old XP setup using exactly the same hardware) I have used the mic (not the camera mic) to pick up sound from my music-system speakers but would like to do it direct via the sound card. My first problem is sorting out the input.
I have a pre-amp between my record deck and music system's Aux input and have tried plugging the pre-amp directly into the PC's Line In socket instead but can't seem to pick up the sound via IDT Audio Control Panel. The Panel adds a "?" to its diagramatic display on Line In but I can't see how to configure it. The Panel should be obvious but I can't follow what's needed nor find any user guide, even via Google.
|My System Specs
|06 Aug 2011
First, you need a "recording" program so you can record the Line In audio to the Pc's hard drive. The free (and very popular) Audacity program will do that. There is a Windows sound recorder but I don't recommend that. Audacity even has some capability to remove noise, pops, clicks, etc from the old vinyl.
When playing a vinyl (e.g. 33 1/3 LP) you can't connect the turntable direct, you need a preamp that has an RIAA equalizer option (e.g. phono input on the preamp). If you have a preamp that does not have the RIAA, the recordings will sound bad.
As far as the input settings, go to the Control Panel/Hardware and Sound and finally the Sound Panel. Click the Recording Tab and it should list your devices such as Line In, Mic, and if you are lucky "System Mixer". If you have the System Mixer it should cover any input and if you are hearing the Line In input on the PC's speakers then you can use the System Mixer as the default recording device (set it as the default recording device). If you do not have the System Mixer, you should set the Line In as the default recording device.
Whichever device you will be using (System Mixer or Line In) needs to be set as the input device in Audacity. You can then record your vinyl and save it as wav files on the hard drive. Save them as wav, not MP3 as a wav file is full fidelity, MP3 files are "something" less than full fidelity.
Bascially, this is the same as recording in XP, just may be different terminology or different display of the sound in the Control Panel.
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
|My System Specs
|07 Aug 2011
Thanks Fireberd,
I don't have "System Mixer" but something called "Stereo Mix" which I have set as the default. This seems to be working, at least I can here my vinyl track played via the computer's speakers, so I can proceed now to check the levels so sound is not distorted and get Audacity.
However, the mic on the Lifecam is still enabled when I don't want it. I can use the Sound control panel to reduce the input volume to zero but I actually want restored to how it was i.e. it would pick up sound when I use Skype but not otherwise. Any idea what changed when I used Troubleshooter?
|My System Specs
|07 Aug 2011
The lifecam must be a video cam connected to the PC and those can interfere with other audio functions. Disable it in the Device Manager or just unhook it and that should take care of it until you want to use it and then enable it.
Stereo Mix is the same as system mixer. Some newer systems call it Stereo Mix.

Mosaic and MosaicAlt are somewhat different, Mosaic is based on satisfying a number of size constraints whereas MosaicAlt simply places windows in groups based on recursive horizontal/vertical splits (AIUI, I haven't actually used either). We should get someone to port HintedTile to 0.5. Mosaic hasn't worked for several releases, meaning that it must be okay to remove it. Cheers, Spencer Janssen

Dunmall, Paul - I Wish You Peace
I Wish You Peace is a landmark recording in the career of one of modern jazzs emerging giants: British jazz musician Paul Dunmall. A world-class reed player, Dunmall is described as "A powerful player often cited as the cream of British saxophonists" by the Guiness Who's Who In Jazz, and a "Superlative saxophone and clarinet playerone of the best reed players in Europe if not the world." by Venue. He is a member of the UK improvising ensemble Mujician and leads the Paul Dunmall Octet among many other credits. To celebrate the British musicians 50th anniversary in 2003, the BBC enabled Dunmall to fulfill his longstanding dream to compose and record for a big band at Gateway Studios. This gave Dunmall an unprecedented opportunity to assemble and write for the large ensemble of his dreams, which he named the Moksha Big Band after a Hindu word meaning the supreme liberation of the soul. Numbering 14 players plus a conductor, the Moksha Big Band includes both established and new talent from the UK free-jazz pool, including Keith Tippett, Tony Levin, Paul Rogers, Chris Bridges, Howard Cottle, Hilary Jeffrey, Gethin Liddington, Simon Picard, Paul Rutherford, John Adams, Mark Sanders, Philip Gibbs, David Priseman and conductor Brian Irvine. Like the best 'energy jazz', I Wish You Peace is an intensely visceral yet spiritual work. The music goes from intensely hot and focused jazz to rowdy 'blowing' from the large ensemble.

The Ten Best Restaurants in Lake Charles, According to UrbanSpoon.com
I don't know about you but it feels like I am constantly looking for somewhere in this town to eat. Sure, I could go to a chain restaurant, but if I really wanted overprocessed, frozen foods, I could cook at home. That's why I've scoured Urbanspoon.com to find what it's visitors have rated as the ten best local restaurants in Lake Charles.
Little needs to be said of this combination of long time local favorites, and new and creative eateries. So, I'll let their food speak for itself, try these out!

Welcome from the Computational Modelling Group
Welcome to the website of the CoMo Group. We develop and apply modern numerical methods to problems arising in Chemical Engineering. The overall aim is to shorten the development period from research bench to the industrial production stage by providing insight into the underlying physics and supporting the scale-up of processes to industrial level.
The group currently consists of 22 members from various backgrounds. We are keen to collaborate with people from both within industry and academia, so please get in touch if you think you have common interests.
The group's research divides naturally into two inter-related branches. The first of these is research into mathematical methods, which consists of the development of stochastic particle methods, computational fluid dynamics and quantum chemistry. The other branch consists of research into applications, using the methods we have developed in addition to well established techniques. The main application areas are reactive flow, combustion, engine modelling, extraction, nano particle synthesis and dynamics. This research is sponsored on various levels by the UK, EU, and industry.

Scientists are tracking a dangerous bug
Wed, 19 May 2010 14:13:43 GMT —
Scientists are keeping a close watch on unwanted visitor that continues to threaten the region's ash trees.
Since its discovery in southeastern Michigan in 2002, the Emerald Ash Borer has destroyed more than 70 million ash trees by feeding on the inner bark and foliage. The tiny green beetle, which comes from Asia, is spreading quickly throughout the Great Lakes region and is now in the Northeast United States.
Last year the ash borer was discovered in Cattraugus County. Scientists from the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) in Syracuse have been tracking the insects' spread and predict it could wipe out the entire ash tree species within 10 to 20 years.
Since the ash borer hitches a ride on wood, the State Department of Environmental Conservation is urging campers not to travel with firewood this summer. This could actually assist the borers in spreading to other parts of the state. Campers are instead asked to purchase or gather firewood at the location of their camp.

WARNINGS issued recently by the Karachi police are being viewed with cynicism. Empty threats, by the highest authorities, of "we will get them in 48 hours" only add insult to injury.
The police and Rangers in Karachi have failed to protect the lives and property of the citizens. They conveniently block roads for cars, buses and ambulances to provide security to politicians at private functions while bombs go off in the city.
How much blood will be spilt before something is done? The list of crimes being committed is increasing -- targeted and sectarian killings, extortion, land grabbing, bombings of shrines and mosques, bank heists, kidnapping for ransom -- not one, not a single one of the culprits has been indicted.
Our children are not safe and nothing is being done.
Cracking down upon law-breakers can only strengthen true democrats.
A week's curfew in Karachi after sealing road and train exits and a complete flushing out of all criminals is not a high price to pay. After all, shutterdown strikes close the city down more frequently and often.
How long shall we wait? Please realise that in order to save the country we must first have a country to save.
M.I. SAYEED Karachi

Lazy Dog - Poem by Andile Sidali
Sporty is my dog
through out the day he snores in slumber
when other dogs go out hunt he pulls out a stunt
you could swear he ownes a watch he never misses lunch
he blaughs once or twice like he has been working all night
i removed the sign in my gate that says 'there is a dog in guard'
because neighbors know that it is a lie.
sporty is my dog and i love him, wherever i go he follows
he is too liberated don't try him, he once wrote me a letter
through the night that reads 'your fears are similar to mine'
now he owns a room, sporty is a serious guy he doesnt play games
otherway round he poops you can clean it up whole day.
sporty is my dog and i love him
sporty doesn't bite he is a vegeterian
sporty doesn't blauf he is a gentle man
sporty doesn't hold grudges he is a christian
sporty is a lovely dog and i love him.

VIZ Media, LLC, headquartered in San Francisco, California, is a major American anime, manga and Japanese entertainment company formed by the merger of VIZ, LLC, and ShoPro Entertainment. The company is commonly referred to as "Viz", the same name used in previous incarnations of VIZ LLC.
Viz also produces a manga and anime review magazine, Animerica; as well as an English language version of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump (shōnen manga) magazine, and formerly a shōjo manga monthly called Shojo Beat which has recently been discontinued.
It formerly published Animerica Extra, a monthly manga anthology (which was converted to shōjo partway through its run), and PULP magazine, an adult-oriented monthly manga anthology that featured story lines inappropriate for younger readers, though not pornography (see seinen, josei).
It is jointly-owned by Japanese publishers Shogakukan and Shueisha, and licensing house Shogakukan Productions (ShoPro), a Shogakukan subsidiary.
One PieceEdit
Viz's English adaption of the One Piece manga is, for the most part, accurate to the original Japanese version. However, they do occasionally use some of the 4Kids dub names. For example, while they called Zoro by his original name early on, they later changed it to "Zolo" after the 4Kids dub aired. It is unknown why this change was made, but it could have possibly been due to copyright reasons. Other examples of the 4Kids names being used include Cocoyashi Village to "Coco Village" and Loguetown to "Rogue Town". However, names of characters such as Smoker and Ace are kept (as opposed to "Chaser" and "Trace").
However, despite the use of some 4Kids names and the usual omission of swear words, things like violence, alcohol and tobacco usage, Japanese cultural references, religious references, suggestive humor, and death remain intact.
On July 3, 2009, Viz Media announced that they would be speeding-up the release of the manga, with volumes 24 to 53 being released throughout the first half of 2010 at a rate of 5 volumes per month. In addition to the speed-up, they had also skipped ahead to the Impel Down Arc in the American Shonen Jump magazine. In April 2012, VIZ officially discontinued publication of their Shōnen Jump magazine and would no longer focus on older One Piece chapters in a magazine format.
Viz later began re-releasing older volumes in the form of an Omnibus format, a large book with the size amounting to the size of three volumes per omnibus. However, many people criticize the paper used in the omnibus edition for its quality, being too thin and easy to tear. So far, 57 volumes have been released in this format. The twentith volume that will have volumes 58-60 planned to come out on June 13, 2017.[1]
In addition Viz has also been releasing their One Piece volumes digitally which are currently sold at $6.99 per volume alongside most of their other properties. Each of the latest volumes become available for purchase and download at some point after the release of the physical copy. The One Piece digital manga can also be viewed on other devices such as Android or Kindle Fire by downloading the VIZ Manga or ComiXology app.[2] The digital volumes are also sold at Amazon's Kindle Store.
Following the cancellation of their Shōnen Jump print magazine, VIZ adapted to a more digital format and instead focused on releasing the latest One Piece chapters (alongside the latest chapters of other Jump series) in their new Weekly Shōnen Jump digital magazine, which are released simultaneously with those in Japan and sold on their official website for $0.99 per issue. VIZ also sells a one-year subscription to the magazine (48 issues) for $25.99, reducing the effective cost to $0.54 per issue and allows back issues to be sold for up to 3 months after original publication. Like their digital volumes, issues can be read on various devices using the Viz Manga app. On September 1, 2015, ComiXology gained the rights to Weekly Shōnen Jump for their website and ComiXology app, but does not include the one-year subscription purchase price (though users can still subscribe but only pay at the regular price).[3] They are also sold at Amazon's Kindle Store as well.

The neurofibromas found in NF1 patients contain not only Schwann cells, but also fibroblasts, mast cells and axons. We are currently testing each cell types' role in neurofibroma development. For example, one project is aimed at defining the role of mast cells in a mouse transgenic model of neurofibroma formation developed in our laboratory. We are also utilizing NF1 mouse models to determine what role incomplete Schwann cell differentiation plays in NF1-associated tumor development. Another project is examining the role of neurofibroma stem and progenitor cells.

5 Things to Know About the Colombian Soccer Team, circa June 2014
This was the scene in Cali last night outside our local salsa bar. Though writing about sports does not normally fall anywhere near my parameters of interest, the English-language coverage of the Colombian soccer team has been rather appalling, so I thought I'd throw in my five cents.
Some things I find interesting about the current Colombian national soccer team:
1. The current coach, José Pékerman, is an Argentinean of Russian-Jewish descent, and is only occupying this position because the Colombian coach was removed due to domestic violence problems. (Pékerman is actually the second replacement coach: the first replacement, Leonel Álvarez, lasted only a couple of months.) You could take this as evidence of machismo in Colombia, or you could take this as evidence that machista attitudes are no longer being tolerated precisely because the dude was removed for domestic violence. Either way, the new coach has been a huge boon to the team; the general consensus is that Colombia wouldn't be where it is right now without him.
2. Colombia is playing without their star player, Falcao, who has been out injured. James Rodriguez has now usurped Falcao as the team idol as he has scored 5 goals in 4 matches (making him the highest scorer in the whole World Cup so far), and btw his name is pronounced HA-mez. For further pronunciation illustration and general goofiness, this video replaces the word "jamás" (never) with "James" in a silly tribute to yesterday's win.
2. The whole "choreographed goal celebration", or "varied dance routine(s) that have surely taken much coordination", as the NYTimes so inaccurately described it, is called salsa choke and was not invented by the Colombian national team. Every male or female who wants to have sex under the age of 35 in Colombia's Pacific region knows how to dance this and proceeds to do so at street parties and discotecas every single weekend. Mario Yepes and Pablo Armero are from Cali and Tumaco, respectively. They probably taught James the dance screwing around in the locker room. And yes, of course I have video evidence:
(and actually, if you read the comments some people are actually making fun of James for being tieso, or stiff)
And here is the Ecuadorian team dancing to salsa choke a couple of years ago. Other that the ridiculous eye candy this video provides, if you look around minute 6:30 you can see them teaching each other the basic dance, which is almost identical to the dance the Colombian national team is now famous for "choreographing." To be clear: I write this not as a critique of the Colombian national team, but rather as a criticism of the total lack of background research done by English-speaking media.
Here is the original song playing in the background-- the song is from Cali, as salsa choke is a uniquely Colombian genre, though the Ecuadorians have clearly taken to it quite nicely. New salsa choke (also called salsa urbana) comes out all the time, but this one has stuck around for the last couple of years.
4. The sale of alcohol was banned on game days in Bogotá after 9 people died in the capital due to being drunk and stupid after the first 2014 World Cup game. After the second 2014 World Cup game, the sale of alcohol was banned in Cali as well. Why people have such a hard time celebrating without killing themselves/each other I will never understand, but many of the players are now saying some version of "let's hope for a peaceful, violence-free celebration" in the post-game interviews.
5. Colombia has never gotten this far in the World Cup, and people are pretty over-the-moon about it. That said, they have had their fair share of soccer legends, including "El Pibe" Valderrama, Freddy Rincón and most insanely, Rene Higuita, see below:
And that's all she wrote. I guess we'll just have to wait until Friday to see what's next for the team, when they go up against Brazil.

How I wash clothes in Cali
Now that we've moved apartments (into my favorite neighborhood ever), we no longer have access to a washer (the dryer in Cali is the sun). I was looking around for laundromats, and Felipe had resigned himself to shlepping our laundry over to his mom's apartment every week, when a neighbor suggested we do what he does: rent a washing machine.
Meaning what, exactly? You call a phone number, and a guy shows up at your door with a washer, installs the pipes and bits for you, and then comes back in 4 hours to pick it up. For 5,000 pesos (about $2.50)! How cool is that? We don't have to deal with machine maintenance, and there's no machine taking up precious space in our reasonably-sized but small apartment. I'd say something like "I can't believe they don't have this in other places", but honestly it's hard for me to imagine how it's worth it for the company. It must be, though, or they wouldn't do it...and I for one am not complaining.

Unrefined and of Low Social Category
"El color amarillo es tenido por muchas personas como un elemento culinario un tanto vulgar; quizá por el hecho de que nuestras gentes de baja categoría social han abusado siempre de él en sus caldos y estofados. Pero su uso discreto es indispensable, especialmente en cremas, salsas y sopas, para hacerlas más apetitosas."
"Turmeric is considered by many to be a slightly vulgar culinary element, perhaps due to the fact that many of our people of low social category have always abused its use in their broths and stews. But its discreet use is indispensable, especially in soup and sauces, to make them more appetizing. "
"Los cominos: este aliño es por lo general de mal gusto y poco refinado, pero hay ciertos platos típicos en los cuales no es solamente admisible, sino necesario. El mondongo, los tamales, las morcillas, los chorizos, las empanadas comunes, y aun el caldo con pollo hecho al estilo primitivo, parece que quedan incompletos si no se les pone una pinzada de camino. En todo caso, si se usan, deber ser con gran discreción."
"Cumin: the use of this seasoning is generally in bad taste and unrefined, but there are certain classic dishes where its use is not only admissible but indeed necessary. Tripe soup, tamales, blood sausage, empanadas and even chicken soup done primitive-style seem to turn out incomplete unless a pinch of cumin is added. In any case, if you use cumin, you must use it with great discretion."
It's interesting that what's considered traditional and what's considered refined seem to be very much in conflict according to this lady. I for one adore cumin. On the other hand, she does appear to have a far more generous spirit than many of her generation, as evidenced by the following, rather sad comment:
"Pocas señoras tienen la galantería de ofrecer a sus amigas la receta de un plato, que a juzgar por los elogios que les merece, desean aprender a fabricar...Pero hay todavía algo peor. Y es que algunas, cuando se resuelven a ofrecerla, lo hacen con medidas inexactas, cometiendo con esto una verdadera estafa. Por qué nos atraerá tanto la exclusividad, aun en tan pequeños detalles?"
"Few women possess the gallantry to offer their friends the recipe for a dish that they, judging from the glowing praise offered, would like to learn to make...But there is something even worse. And that is that some, when offering up the recipe, give it with imprecise measurements, wishing to defraud their friends. Why are we so attracted to exclusivity, even in minor things?"
Well said, Señora Navarro, well said. Now please excuse me while I go off to degollar (cut the head off) a one-year-old piglet to make lechon relleno.

El Teatro Salamandra
I spent both Friday and Saturday night in one of Cali's classic artsy spots -- El Teatro Salamandra. They were celebrating their 20th anniversary, with an art exhibition and Latin jazz (Felipe and friends were playing) on the evening's menu. I love this side of Cali-- the eccentric characters and bright colors, and the embrace of the city's artistic heritage alongside newer cultural projects.
I do hope is that El Teatro Salamandra and San Fernando Viejo will be around, classy and funky and fun, 20 years from now. They just don't make fridges like that anymore...

A Love-Hate Guide to Bogotá
Bogotá is like many capital/large cities in South America (see: Buenos Aires, São Paulo): born and bred natives think it's the best place in the world, whereas everyone else in the country tends to think it's pretty much the worst.
Or at least they say it's the worst: non-bogotanos love talking shit about Bogotá, about the terrible weather, about how unfriendly the people are (unfriendly for Colombia, that is), about the insufferable bogotano accent (uy chino), about the stratospheric prices and the congested traffic and, above all else, about how bogotanos think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread and how they can't dance. at all.
And then they all move to Bogotá, because that's where the jobs are.
Or, at a minimum, they end up going to Bogotá fairly frequently because Colombia continues to be a very centralized country and they need an international visa or their companies are based in Bogotá or because there is a Red Hot Chili Peppers/Paul McCartney/Beyonce concert that they can't bear to miss.
Last week, I found myself in Bogotá because that is where the Foreign Relations Ministry is, and I, of course, am a foreigner. Let's not pretend that fun things happen at the Foreign Relations Ministry; I won't say that anything I did last Friday was even remotely pleasant; for all intents and purposes I have erased it from my memory.
I will say this, though: Bogotá is too cold for me, and I have some serious hate for the heavy metal culture that currently predominates, but after the bureaucratic trials and tribulations were over, we had a really nice weekend.
We ate ajiaco at a place that proclaimed to have "The Best Ajiaco in the World," and very well might. We walked around the colonial Candelaria neighborhood and went into the (free) Botero museum. We went to the central market and ate ginormous fruit salads overflowing with shredded cheese and sweetened condensed milk (ugh, so good), and then we went to this amazing seafood restaurant/market that is so popular that traffic was stopped outside as people pulled into its parking lot. We spent a drizzly afternoon in Usaquén over coffee and cake. It was nice.
Throw in the fact that many, many of our friends from Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro are currently living in Bogotá, and by Sunday night, Felipe, Sr. I Hate Bogotá, was letting it slip that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to live in Bogotá for a year or so.
Or maybe it would be, but it can be quite a nice place to visit.

Condoricosas: Someone's Comic Fantasy...Just Not Mine
I enjoy moteles probably more than the next girl-- whereas some people might see sex motels as sleazy and to be avoided at all costs -- and I certainly did at one time-- I find the best ones to be rather entertaining, an interactive living museum of sorts. And after my experience at Kiss Me last year, it was only natural that the other (and original) motel by the same owner of Kiss Me, Condoricosas, deserved a visit.
I should probably preface the following by saying that before going to this motel, I was not aware that it was based on a comic strip character. I just thought, Condors, this should be interesting! Which is not to say that I wouldn't have gone had I known, but it sort of made it all worse after the fact. But ok, let's get it out of the way: Condorito is a Chilean comic strip, and a rather conservative, machista one at that. Super hot.
You enter Condoricosas to life-sized statues of animals and, of course, Condorito in various incarnations. There is clearly a tendency to overdecorate, making the shared ownership between Kiss Me and Condoricosas apparent, but Condoricosas lacks the over the top mental-patient-illustrating-the-history-of-the-world nuttiness that Kiss Me revels in and just seems a bit (no laughing) trashy and run down.
Condoricosas is, of course, a motel temático, or more accurately a double motel temático as the rooms are not only "international travel" themed but also incorporate Condorito into the themes. We were given a French conquest-themed room, which translated into murals of Condorito in French soldier garb, elaborate Fleur de Lys decorations, and a large mirror directly above the French-king-in-a-Disney-cartoon bed.
As far as standard motel requirements -- cheap, clean, private, and with free condoms (I don't know if this is a legal requirement but all motels in Cali seem to provide them. A+++, guys) -- Condoricosas does just fine. At the end of the day (or on their lunch breaks, as it were), most people go to these places to have sex and are, I would imagine, fairly unconcerned with the decorative sense and humor quotient of the facilities. I suppose one of my main complaints with Condoricosas is that I found the dual comic book character/international destination themes confusing, or just unappealing. Yes, I am a discerning customer. And for that reason I must tell you, if you're looking for entertainment value (and I always am), Kiss Me reigns supreme.
Should you happen to harbor an unrealized Condorito fantasy, or just want to check Condoricosas out for the hell of it:

New Year's Edition: La Finca
Everybody left town for the family finca to celebrate New Years', and we were no different. Can you blame us? Citrus trees lining the driveway, guanabanas thumping off their trees, ripe and too heavy to hold on any longer, hummingbirds flitting in and out of the flowers hanging next to the hammocks...did somebody say Cali? My whole body ached after the week-long salsa-a-thon a.k.a. the Feria, and did I mention the hammocks?
This particularly beautiful finca, located in el Eje Cafetero (the Coffee Region), is owned by Lucy and Roberto, two retired university professors who are old friends of Felipe's family. Run down and lifeless when they bought it 20 years ago, they have slowly filled it with greenery and antiques. Ancient sewing machines, corn grinders, and even a coffee bean miller (Our neighbor lost his hand in one of these! -Roberto) line the walls. We eat arepas and fried eggs for breakfast and sancocho cooked over a wood fire for lunch; all in all pretty idyllic, and not a bad way to bring in the new year, not a bad way at all.
Happy 2014 to all! Especially to those freezing their culitos off in the Northern Hemisphere (not to mention those roasting in 110ºF weather in the Southern one)! Sometimes you just got to get some equator in your life.

text: hi all, I need a good estimation of noise value for simple calculations. I.e. when I calculate something like sin(15)+cos(80) I get a solution with precision, for example, 1e-11. I guess the precision depends on system arch, isn't it? So what's the best way to estimate the value? I guess here should be something like 10*numpy.machine_precision, isn't it? Regards, D.


text: I just knocked out a quick hit blog entry on my thoughts on the firings and who I think will replace the coaches. I was surprised by John Hoke's firing but I'm fairly certain I know who his replacement will be. Once you read the entry, you'll probably agree. Richard Smith got whacked because Gary Kubiak wanted things to get better. Truth be told, I think Smith had to go. The fact that Frank Bush is already on the staff made it an easier decision in all likelihood. As for Jethro, I was surprised he was let go too, but since he coaches a position with a ton of money invested in it, it isn't entirely surprising to see him gone. The Texans may have someone already in mind for his position as well. Here is my blog entry. They just put it up.

Jensen lawyers will appeal conviction in sons' deaths
Issues will be raised with court after March 21 sentencing
The Colorado Public Defender's office in Grand Junction says Heather Jensen will pursue an appeal of her conviction Friday.
Steve Colvin, who runs the local public defender office, said issues to be raised to the Colorado Court of Appeals will be decided by lawyers from the appellate division of the public defender system, in consultation with Jensen and her trial lawyers, after she's sentenced March 21 by District Judge Valerie Robison.
"Right now, there's no way to know which issues are being pursued," Colvin said.
Jensen, 25, was convicted on two counts of class 3 felony child abuse resulting in death, with negligence, in connection with the deaths of sons William, 2, and Tyler, 4, who died as a result of overheating in their mother's Toyota 4Runner on Nov. 27, 2012.
The jury, eight women and four men, returned not guilty verdicts on two counts of criminally negligent homicide. She was also convicted of misdemeanor false reporting.
Prosecutors and public defenders clashed on several points during and before Jensen's trial.
Over objections from public defenders Thea Reiff and Elsa Archambault, Robison reversed herself during the trial and allowed testimony from Jensen's boyfriend, Pete Stein-Gillette, concerning infidelity. Stein-Gillette testified he and Jensen were involved in an intimate relationship more than a month before the October 2012 death of Jensen's husband, Eric, in a car accident in Garfield County.
Robison had previously ruled such testimony off-limits because of potential prejudicial impact.
Also hotly contested before trial, Jensen's defense fought unsuccessfully for jurors to hear testimony from Mesa County forensic pathologist Dr. Robert Kurtzman. Kurtzman ruled the boys' manner of death to be accidental, not homicide.
The judge ruled Kurtzman's conclusions on manner of death could cause confusion.

Think Eastlake High had a great football season? How much better would they have been with another 1,000-yard rusher?
Technically, it could have happened, but Francis Parker's Jesse Brookins said there was never any doubt he would follow his brother, Kenny, to Francis Parker, even though he knows many Titans players and lives in Chula Vista.
"I felt if I went to Parker, I could take advantage of a quality education and of all the connections you get at a small school," said Jesse, a 5-foot-8, 180-pound running back who led the Lancers to a 10-0 record before they were upset by Granite Hills in the Division III quarterfinals.
"I felt I could own a business rather than work for one."
Such lofty goals have been there ever since he stepped on the private school campus as a freshman, hoping to at least block for his brother.
It was, he says, bittersweet because he ended up being the starting running back when his brother suffered an injury in the third game of the season and only returned for the playoffs, where the Lancers made a big run showing what might have been.
"I'd never played on the same field as my brother and I was excited to be going side-by-side," Brookins said. "It was heartbreaking, it tugged at my heart. The idea was I'd block for him and he'd gain 1,000 yards and get a college scholarship.
"Becoming the starter was an honor but I couldn't wait for him to return. I finally got to what I wanted when I pancake-blocked a La Jolla Country Day defender and Kenny gained 20 yards."
Although short in stature by football standards, coach John Morrison says Brookins is basically the same human cannonball that wanted to bowl down opponents rather than use his speed and shiftiness to get around them, piling up 1,179 yards and 15 TDs on 132 carries.
"You ask him, but I'll bet he says he'd rather run over a potential tackler than around," Morrison said.
Sure enough, when asked the question, the 17-year-old smiled, lowered his voice and said, "Run over them, just like Adrian Peterson."
Of course, Morrison would rather he make the tackler miss so Brookins could take advantage of his speed and not miss a step, which he did often. Morrison recalled a play against Santa Fe Christian where Brookins sprinted into the line, hesitated until the linebacker made his move, and then went the other way for another touchdown.
Despite his size, Brookins was one of the strongest players on the team, bench pressing 300 pounds. He's so powerful Morrison wouldn't allow him to participate in one-on-one tackling drills—too many teammates were getting beaten up.
"Pound for pound, he's one of the toughest players I've coached," said Morrison, who has enjoyed great success at Parker. "He knows the situation, too. Against Olympian, with less than two minutes to go, he made a move that allowed him to score the go-ahead TD.
"Because of his size, he's not a heavily recruited player but some college is going to be very happy they recruited him."
Brookins said he was really hoping for an unbeaten season and was devastated when the Lancers, like Eastlake, lost.
"I worked hard," he said about preparing for this season. "I know no matter how good you are, there is always room for improvement. I tried to improve my speed, for example, but I think I'm one of those guys who, in a game, is as fast as he needs to be.
"I run like every carry is the last one."

Think of the most valuable data in your life: Photos of your baby, your kids, your family. Company financials. Your work documents, email, contacts.
Now imagine losing it all at 5PM today.
I want you to take that feeling and act on it. You don't need to be technical. My dad proved that to me. He once dug a hole in the ground out at Joshua Tree in the middle of the night, but the brand new Ironman Triathlon watch I had given him into the hole, covered it with dirt, marked it with a stone "duck" so he could find it in the morning, and went back to bed. He did this because he couldn't figure out how to turn off the alarm. Dad was so non-technical I sometimes called him "Mr. Analog". He had two hard drive failures, but he never lost data because he practiced Backup Basics #1: Do it now. And I'll even make it easier for you (see the bottom of this post).
Later I'll share how to make your backing up bulletproof. Today you just need to do something. Here are a few things you can do, right now, that will give you greater peace of mind tonight and through the weekend:
Everyone: Go get an external hard drive.
Whether you're a stay-at-home parent or a Fortune 500 CEO, you can go get an external hard drive today, plug it in to your computer, and copy most if not all of important files, getting them in two places. Think risk management here: If your hard drive were going to die at 5PM today, would you rather have a mostly complete backup or none at all because you put it off because you didn't know how to do it according to what a technology guy would call "correct". I'm suggesting this for anyone, including the most non-techie people in the world.
On a Mac, you can either use Apple's Time Machine function built right into your system preferences, or if you want to keep it really simple, just drag and drop folders containing your important stuff into an external hard drive. Want a tool that's really easy to use? Try Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner. It's the most powerful, lease expensive application for backing up I've ever used. If you can find your hard drive in one pull-down menu, and find an external hard drive in another pull down menu, then that's all you need to back up. For Windows users, right-click and copy-paste folders to an external hard drive (copy, don't cut!) or if you feel a little adventurous, try Roxio's Back on Track application. It's the closest equivalent to Carbon Copy Cloner I've found for the PC running Windows.
Remember, your hard drive could die at 5PM today. In reality, it could go anytime- age doesn't matter that much with hard drives. Go get an external disk now. Not sure what to get? Send me a message via the contact form on this page and I'll be happy to provide suggestions.
Business owners and CEOs
If you read my blog post about your budget, then you already know that your go-to technology person or resource is probably busy fixing something today. There's nothing wrong with that, but if if that technical person's single highest priority is not data preservation, then your entire business is in danger. I'm talking business interruption danger that could lead to going out of business. I have a very simple step you can take to make sure you're safe, without having to get technical and without having to take your time away from other areas of your business:
Take everything else off your technology guy's agenda today except backing up. Tell your tech you want a current backup of the company's data on your desk for you to take home before 5PM today, together with a list of the sources of data that got backed up. Remember the saying "work expands to fill the time allotted"? There's no shortage of things to be fixed, and fixing things feels good. Backing up is boring. It tends to get on the back of the IT person's list, and most business owners feel that they probably wouldn't understand the list (or it makes their head hurt trying).
It's that simple. No other work is to be done. Backup on my desk by 5PM please. Thanks.
So while your IT person's getting that done, go get a hard drive for yourself over lunch and get your own files copied over.
Do it now.
Notice I didn't say please. Remember in my recent post I shared that after working with thousands of customers, I've learned that you can lose data for only two reasons:
- You put it off and never got to it.
- You think you're backed up, but you're not.
I want you to make progress right now, today, by taking an action. In my repair business at TechRoom, I cringe every time a mom or dad comes in for recovery of photos of their baby's first few years of life. A liquid spill on a notebook or a hard drive upgrade I can deal with. Broken computers are repairable. We're great at recovering data, but not every recovery is successful. Lost data is permanent.
I want you to act on this, right now, today. I don't care where you go, so long as you take the first step. To help, if you call TechRoom and mention this blog post I'll give you 20% off any TechRoom service between now and Wednesday November 21, including carry-in and remote access service to set up and verify your backup.

Speed freaks sign here
By BBC News Online technology correspondent Mark Ward
UK broadband users could soon be sorting out their own high-speed on-ramp to the information superhighway.
BT is poised to unveil a "broadband-in-a-box" product that should make it much easier to sign up to and start using fast net access.
The move will make it cheaper to get a high-speed net connection, and could boost the take-up of such services in the UK.
Trials of the DIY broadband system are already underway, and it should be widely available in early 2002.
Speed bumps
The irony of having to wait a long time to get on to the net quicker than ever could soon be a distant memory.
Instead of having to wait for an engineer to call to install your Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) service, it could soon just be a case of telling BT you have bought a high-speed modem, hooking it up and then roaring off down the internet.
ADSL works at far higher speeds than the maximum 56 kilobits per second (kbps) that is possible with a standard modem. The basic ADSL service available from BT works in excess of 500 kbps.
Currently most people have to wait at least two weeks from initially signing up for the service to actually having it installed.
The broadband-in-a-box service is also likely to make taking up the service much cheaper. Currently, anyone signing up for ADSL has to pay an installation fee, as well as a fixed monthly subscription.
All companies
All the companies offering ADSL services do so by reselling lines from a division called BY Wholesale. Now, BT Openworld has announced that it is halving the cost of installation until the end of the year.
Under this scheme, a home user signing up for the Home 500 product would pay only �75 plus a monthly fee of �39.99.
Duncan Ingram, head of consumer net services at BT Openworld, said the company had not yet worked out how much cheaper the new service would be. He said it would not remove all installation work and there might be a small charge for BT making changes at its end.
"There is still some work to be done at the exchange," said Mr Ingram, "but it should make it more attractive for everyone."
Although BT Openworld is trialling the broadband-in-a-box service, it will not be the only company offering the product when all the trials are complete. Anyone currently offering an ADSL service will be able to resell it.
"The day it's available to us it's available to everyone," said Mr Ingram.

system restore
I am afraid to move the slide on Win 7 system restore because I don't want to lose recent points.
I think once I move the slide back and it did remove the mosr recent but I don't truly remember.
I want to remove old ones and leave it at about 5% not 9%.
Is the only way to do this with a cmd or will the slide erase older ones first as this would be easier if it worked?
Thank you
|My System Specs
|14 Sep 2012
Hello seven2,
It would be much safer to use the slider. It's only applied after you click on OK or Apply though.
If you move the slider back to reduce the maximum disk space usage, then Windows will automatically delete older restore points to meet the new max size. If you like, you could always create a new restore point afterwards to make sure that you have a fresh one.

Hope this helps,

Yes it does help as I was not sure if new or old points were removed as the slide was moved back.
Thank you

The oldest are removed.
To verify this, then run before and after:

Thank you - I set mine at 9% which brings me back about a month.
I use a seondary registry backup which backs up upon logon and I set for 11 days before the oldest drops off. I used the task scheduler with it but find log on to be the best way. It actually lets you back up with each log on or only once per day as you may wish to reboot at times.

I just conveyed the situation to the author and hope the link I gave him will get him here to address the issue. I do not want to have problems and appreciate your warning. I would like to see if there is a problem here as the program is really easy and seems to have run so well for so long by backing up and restoring.
Please write if you have not heard soon.T
If I am allowed I would give you the name of the site and forum if you wish
Thank you

I just got this in my inbox;
"Probably he wanted to say that using System Restore is more than sufficient. Ok with that, but it could be easily corrupted and/or damaged from malware.
I think using a secondary registry backup is a good precaution, anyway."
I do not know enough about this to reach a secure conclusion. I used the program because a friend in England ok'd it and he is MS MVP.
I guess it is a personal decision.
I can stilll give you the site to speak with him if you wish or we can call it a day.
I was only looking for help and did not mean to cause a problem.
|My System Specs
|14 Sep 2012
No worries seven2. You didn't cause any problems.
It's more of a personal choice to use those type of programs or not. Some are good, while others are nothing but junk and can cause issues. That's why we usually don't recommend them to be on the safe side.
