Backing up data before a clean install - permissions
Hi,i own 2 HDD's one for installation and a media drive. Last time i reinstalled i had huge issues gaining permissions to my media and ended up deleting about 600gb of data. After recently trying out windows 8 i was stupid enough not to data my data and thought win8 would install onto a partition i made for it. I recovered my windows 7, but encountering lots of problems, so i think its time for a clean install. Is there a way to keep my permissions on my media drive for my new install? I don't have an external drive.

I recently bought the Supertop NX for my half-steel door 94 YJ. I was looking for a new top, didn't like the goofy regular supertop hardware, and preferred the stock hardware. I initially was in the market for the sailcloth RAT but saw this while shopping online and was intrigued by the concept of using the stock hardware with a few enhancements. This is a fairly new product and there was somewhat limited information online about the YJ version. The TJ version looked great with OEM style hardware, an additional support bar, sailcloth, upgraded tensioning system, and sunrider-like option. Naively assuming the YJ version would have similar goodies, I went ahead and ordered it. (There was no installation manual on the bestop website for the YJ version...)
First thing out of the box, I realize that it doesn't come with upper door skins. I should have noticed this on the website, but come on, that is still dumb. Why would anyone NOT want the upper doors if they are getting all the hardware and rest of the top replaced on a vehicle with half doors??? (Especially for nearly $700!!) Anyway, as advertised it comes with all new OEM-style replacement hardware. The quality is good like you would expect. My impression was that the top for the Supertop NX was supposed to be sailcloth, but this looks awfully like the same material on my old non-sailcloth top... Certainly not heavier... Further inspection reveals that the hardware is limited to an exact reproduction of OEM parts - No extra doodads for maintaining tension, no extra support bar like the TJ and JK guys get, no sunrider function. Once again the aftermarket gives YJ the shaft. I suppose I should be used to it by now.
In summary, instead of the replacement sailcloth top I started out wanting, I got a regular top minus the door skins with absolutely no enhancement whatsoever over the stock version. Disappointing... I think I will be returning this top and getting a sailcloth RAT - WITH upper door skins.
Overall, it's not a bad product and the quality is good. Bestop just really needs to quit goofing around and let the YJ owners know what is really (and really not) in the Supertop NX. Same goes for the dealers that sell the kit.

The Windows Phone 8 Emulator operates as a Hyper-V virtual machine on top of windows, and as a result requires Windows 8 Pro with at least 4 GB of RAM and a SLAT enabled CPU. If you have a machine which does not support SLAT, you can still use the SDK to develop Windows Phone 8 apps, but you'll only be able to test them on an actual device.
Does My Machine Support SLAT?
Checking if your machine supports SLAT is pretty easy:
- Download and extract Sysinternals' "Coreinfo" utility.
- Run command prompt as an administrator.
- Navigate to the path where you placed Coreinfo and execute the command "coreinfo –v".
If you have an asterisk ("*") next to EPT (Intel) or NPT (AMD) then you are good to go. If you don't have it and you see the below, then you're out of luck and can't run WP8 emulator on this machine:
Note: CoreInfo can sometimes give wrong info. If you've already got Hyper-V running, it may erroneously return a "false negative" on the slat capabilities. Therefore, CoreInfo must be executed on a system without a hypervisor running for accurate results". As for the SLATStatusCheck returns the correct results regardless of whether Hyper-V is running or not.
Enable Hyper-V on Windows
If Hyper-V is not enabled, the following dialog box appears.
Click Turn on Hyper-V to open the Windows Features dialog box in Control Panel.
- In Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Turn Windows features on or off.
- In the Windows Features dialog box, click Hyper-V. The list of options expands.
- In the expanded list of options, select at least the Hyper-V Platform check box, and then click OK.
Join Hyper-V Administration Group
When you run the emulator, if you are not already a member of the Hyper-V Administrators group, you are prompted to join the group and the below message appears. Joining the group requires administrator rights. After you join the group, you have to log off or reboot for the change to take effect.
If you are the local administrator on the computer when you install the SDK, the setup program for the SDK adds you to the Hyper-V Administrators group. Otherwise you may have to enable this requirement manually.
To add yourself to a group manually, open the file located at \programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\InitialStore.xml on the system partition. To edit this file you will need to:
- Open the Run dialog (launch it from the Start menu or press Windows Key + R).
- Start mmc.exe
- Open the File menu and select Add/Remove Snap-in...
- From the Available snap-ins list select Authorization Manager.
- Click Add > and then click OK.
- Click on the new Authorization Manager node in the left panel.
- Open the Action menu and select Open Authorization Store...
- Choose XML file for the Select the authorization store type: option and then use the Browse... to open \programdata\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\InitialStore.xml on the system partition (programdata is a hidden directory so you will need to type it in first).
- Click OK.
- Expand InitialStore.xml then Microsoft Hyper-V services then Role Assignments and finally select Administrator.
- Open the Action menu and select Assign Users and Groups then From Windows and Active Directory...
- Enter the name of the user that you want to be able to control Hyper-V and click OK.
- Close the MMC window (you can save or discard your changes to Console 1 - this does not affect the authorization manager changes that you just made).
And now you are done. The user that you added will be able to completely control Hyper-V even if they are not an administrator on the physical computer.
Emulator Network Connection
Final Tip: if your emulator is failing to see the pc network connection, then first uncheck any proxy that you might be using and try again. If it works, then it is because of the proxy the emulator was not able to see the network connection. If not, then you will have to do the following:
- Start from scratch. Go to the Hyper-V manager and delete the emulator along with all of the virtual switches
- Start the emulator from Visual Studio; this will recreate it with all default settings(select yes you want to configure it to connect to the internet)
- Shut it down
- Now, go back to the Hyper-V manager
- Delete the snapshot that was just created for the emulator. This will prevent your changes from disappearing
- Find the virtual switch for your second network adapter in the Network Adapter settings(under control panel)
- Disable TCP/IPv4 and 6. This prevents your host machine from trying to use the connection. While you're there, get the MAC(Physical) address of this adapter
- Find the virtual-switch for your second network adapter under the Hyper-V settings for the emulator
- Change the MAC type to static and paste in the MAC address of the adapter
- Enable MAC spoofing (not sure if required, but just in case)
- Click OK and then start the emulator from Visual Studio!
Hopefully this gives you an idea of some of the system requirements and possible errors that you might be facing to get the WP8 SDK up and running. Can't wait to see some of the great apps you folks are working on!

I am close to building three large hugel beds, but before I went digging I wanted to find out the actual science behind Hugelkultur.
So far I haven't been able to find anything - all the usual sources are bland - nothing on Arvix, Google Scholar etc. All I have found is a hard core permaculture guy saying that he can't find anything either and havingg second thoughts.
As far as it looks at the moment, Sepp Holtzer had the idea around 2006/2007, told people, those people told others... and so everything I have seen so far is either anecdotal or secondary evidence at best. I am much too lazy to dig out 13 cubic meters of soil without seeing some primary studies. I ***HAVE*** seen studies regarding guilds, mulching etc - and very positive they were as well ( which is why I'm using those methods now. Just can't find anything for Hugelkultur.
Can anyone point me at those that they have used or looked at, or let me know any universities currently undertaking studies who might share initial results or are publishing poster sessions?

I live 8 miles from a university. I will let the right people know that they are welcome to check out my beds. I'm growing in mostly rock flour and rock. Most rain arrives in the winter. Things planted in the beds, survive. Things planted in just the native soil, die of drought.

"Mound Gardening" modalities have been recognised as a "no till" method of agriculture for a very long time, and I would credit Sepp for popularizing one of the more common methods. I can't find them at the moment, but I believe there is a paper from the 90's on this subject. It may be in German, so I would suggest doing searches in other languages other than English, as this may be fruitful. I will see if I can locate "hard copy" as there is still a great deal from the 70's through the 90's that have not been 'digitized' yet. Please do share what you may find.

Steve ... why dig? It's not all that much work to make a small bed.
Also, can't be that hard to find research in German / Austrian. Try a forum where members sort of idolize sepp holzer! There must be a FB page of his followers. Maybe Sepp has a FB page. Can't be so hard to find info in German / Austrian.

There have not been many true scientific papers published on hugelkulture in the USA, the above is however one of the best.
Most published information on the ancient method would be found in the 19th century and perhaps one or two from the 18th century.
The method was used by many cultures, Gauls, Celts, The east coast Nations of Turtle Island and Vikings.
The Native Americans built many growing mounds along the East Coast of Turtle Island (North America) most started their life as leftover depositories as evidenced by excavations where fragments of pottery, processed bones and wood fire ashes have been documented.
The usual method of building a mound is to start with a shallow hole in the ground, this is filled in layers with dirt put on as a cover between layers. Over time this "trash pit" becomes full of left over material, the dirt was used to contain odors as the pit filled up.
Once the pit was full, the site was continued to be used for depositing the refuse and the "mound" began to take shape. When it became necessary to start another pit, it was noticed that plants grew very well and with out the need of watering the mound.
This led to the use of the no longer used trash mound as a garden space. This was a common practice as far back as the 1400's and perhaps even further back in time. My elders tell several different versions of how we came to use mounds in the eastern nations.
The premise and practice of hugelkulture, as currently used, is an invention from the Franks and Gauls (now Germany/ Austria/ Poland) who used trenches filled with wood and covered with dirt as a way to hold water deep for plant roots to tap into.
The height of these mounds makes harvesting easier as well as increasing the quantity of food that can grow in a space. Decaying wood acts as a sponge, soaking up water and holding it until the roots of the plants draw the water from the wood.
This is not a method that works very well in extremely dry climates, nor does it work very well in extremely wet climates. It performs best in areas where there is at least 10" of rain fall or more.
A mound will change over the years, as the wood decays the mound will settle and different organisms will be present in the soil covering the decaying wood. Small mounds do not work as well as larger mounds, mostly because there is not enough material present to decay.
One of the ways I build my mounds to get them to work very well is to include bones, meat scraps, freshly cut grasses and other greens in the lower layers of the mound build.
I also do not leave air pockets as I layer up a mound. I do not start a build at ground level, I start with a trench, this trench determines the finished size of the mound since it is actually the base of the mound.
I use the largest wood at the bottom, fill in the cavities with smaller sticks then add a layer of green materials, any kitchen bones and scraps that will not be fed to our animals, then cover with a layer of the soil that was removed to create the trench.
I then build up, in thin layers, using what materials I've gathered or just add to the mound as I create new materials from the work on the farm.
Once I have decided the mound is high enough, I mix straw and dirt to use as the final cover, this goes on the top and as it dribbles down it forms the shape of the finished mound.
I don't try to make tall and narrow mounds, mine are more rounded with less steep sides at the start.
The steepness gets built as crops are grown and harvested, the mound settles and I add more dirt and straw/grass/etc. This allows the mound to be very stable, with little erosion since there are many roots holding the soil in place.
Cover crops and winter crops add to the root structures that hold the soil where it is and cover crops are chopped and left in place as mulch.
The real science of a mound is more hydrological than most people would think, it is more about building ground water than piling dirt.

Good Morning. I have long been of the mind that managing money based on a macro view of the world is exceptionally difficult. First and foremost, stocks don't always pay attention to the macro themes of the day. The most recent bout of stock market weakness is a perfect example of this. Although the economic reports had been coming in below expectations for some time, it wasn't until just a few days ago that anybody cared about the data. But now the weaker-than-expected numbers are all anybody can talk about.
If you've had the sound up on the business news shows recently, you'll likely agree that the markets and the media suddenly care a lot about the data. It's as if all of a sudden, this is fresh news and everybody is bearish. While I'm not fond of tooting our own horn, I would like to point out that we've been talking about the crummy numbers for some time now and I even penned a piece entitled "Are They Watching in Washington?" The point here isn't that we were right or that our increased cash levels were unique. No, the point is that once again, the media might be overdoing it.
When I looked at the economic calendar at the end of May and added up the hits and misses, the first thing that came to mind was that this type of analysis might be misleading. Sure, 28 of the 35 reports had come in below expectations. However, there hadn't been 25 disastrous reports. I was simply trying to point out that there was some data to support the idea that economy's momentum looked to be waning.
Based on the data I reviewed, I assumed that stocks would likely pull back a bit. Empirically speaking, I was expecting a run-of-the-mill corrective phase. But to be clear, I have seen nothing in the data to suggest that the "R-Word" should even be up for discussion. And like the folks in Washington, I expected the soft patch, which was likely triggered by the turmoil in the Middle East and the triple tragedies in Japan, to be temporary.
However, based on what I've been hearing over the past few days, I'm beginning to get concerned that we might be scaring ourselves into recession. Remember, news travels fast these days. Today, people get the headlines on their phones, their laptops, their tablets, and the old fashioned ways such as their desktop computers, the radio and/or the T.V. news. And they get it instantly. So, unlike the early days of my career when the public was clueless as to what the economy was doing, nowadays everybody knows that the jobs report was a big miss. They know that the stock market is down. They probably have heard that housing is in a double-dip. And yep, they even know that China's economy is slowing by design.
If you really want to scare yourself, ask where the growth is going to come from now that all of the stimulus money has been spent. Ask why analysts are still busy upping earnings estimates to record levels when the economy is slowing. Ask if China will continue to power global growth or decide to worry about inflation? Ask if there is a way to get out of the situation in Greece. And ask how on earth we are going to deal with more than $14 trillion in debt here at home (which, of course, doesn't include all the unfunded liabilities) with an aging population.
My key point this morning isn't to try scaring anyone – heck all of the issues listed above are well known. Nope, the point is that all of a sudden, traders are focused on the negatives. And although the recent data isn't good, it really isn't all that bad either. Thus, I truly hope we aren't scaring ourselves into something serious here.
Turning to this morning… Comments from ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet regarding the central bank's stance on bond exchanges in Greece has allowed traders to embrace a more upbeat attitude across the pond and has had a positive impact on the futures in the U.S. so far.
On the Economic front… there are no major economic reports scheduled for release before the opening bell.

US brings back firing squads 'because they're more HUMANE'
AMERICA may start using firing squads to execute death row inmates.
Following a string of botched lethal injections across the US, one state has approved a plan to return to the days of firing squads.
Utah Congressman Paul Ray claimed it doesn't really matter which way inmates are put to death.
"If we go hanging, if we go to the guillotine, or we go to the firing squad, electric chair, you're still going to have the same circus atmosphere around it," he said.
"Using a firing squad is absolutely one of the most humane way to execute someone because it's so quick and, quite honestly, one of the most painless ways"Utah Congressman Paul Ray
"Using a firing squad is absolutely one of the most humane way to execute someone because it's so quick and, quite honestly, one of the most painless ways."
The move comes after the European company that provides the drugs used in lethal injections refused to sell to the US.
In April convicted murderer Clayton Lockett was given a controversial new combination of drugs via lethal injection in Oklahoma.
After being declared dead Lockett began to writhe and scream in agony before later dying of a heart attack.
"It was a horrible thing to witness," said Lockett's lawyer David Autry.
"This was totally botched."
The last firing squad execution in the US was in 2010 when murderer Ronnie Lee Gardner was shot in the heart.
The state of Tennessee voted in May to execute prisoners by electric chair.
In total 32 prisoners have been put to death in the US so far this year.

Weymouth Businesses In Masterplan Talks
8:37am 20th November 2014
(Updated 8:38am 20th November 2014)
Local businesses are being given the chance to have their say on plans to improve Weymouth as part of the Borough Council's 'Masterplan' for the area.
The second phase of consultation is taking place this morning at the Pavilion. Local companies will discuss ideas including how to improve the area around Weymouth train station.
The borough council has committed £100,000 to investigate how sites can be developed as part of the plan.
They've already found some common themes from feedback, but there's also been disagreement about how to implement these changes.
Brief holder of Economic Development Councillor Ray Nowak said: "We certainly need to smarten up the approach to the town and attracting small businesses.
"The conflict is between car parking, housing and retail and how you get those sorts of segments in the right place."
The consultations are ongoing and a broad plan will be set out before the council at the start of the New Year.

SEBI's new capital market instruments 'REITs & InvITs' slated to raise investor confidence & boost india's real estate
~ At Indian Merchants' Chamber, Ananta Barua, Executive Director, SEBI interacts with eminent real estate players and draws up potential of the new capital market instruments
Mumbai, October 28th, 2014:
The Indian Merchants' Chamber's Capital Market, Direct Taxation and Real Estate & Infrastructure Committees jointly organised a seminar on "Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) & Infrastructure Investment Trusts" on Friday, October17, 2014 at IMC, Mumbai. This event was co-sponsored by Hiranandani Constructions Pvt. Ltd.
At the event, some of the brightest minds of India gathered to showcase the potential of the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Infrastructure Investment Trusts (InvITs) and pointed out key areas that need fine-tuning before these new capital market instruments take off.
The event, co-sponsored by Hiranandani Constructions Pvt. Ltd and the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), indicated the collective enthusiasm of real estate players, regulators and investment advisors in bringing the REITs and InvITs model to India and their inherent potential that can revolutionize India's real estate development and overall liquidity framework.
Mr. Niranjan Hirandani, Managing Director, Hiranandani Constructions Pvt. Ltd, said Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) & Infrastructure Investment Trusts were a positive for real estate, and the industry needed to understand the potential of these new capital market instruments.
The session on 'REITs, including tax issues' started with moderator Mr. Ketan Dalal, Chairman, Direct Taxation Committee, calling REITs 'a compelling measure that will institutionalize infrastructure and real estate in a tangible manner.' "Successful application of the REITs in US coupled with high real estate density and lack of Grade A space in India, and the ability REITs can offer investors to participate in real estate in a more structured manner, making it a highly promising instrument for India," he said.
Regarded as the father of the REITs regulation, Mr. Anantha Barua, Executive Director, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)seemed upbeat about the model. "We have built a unique model catered to the Indian market, keeping in mind needs of both the issuer and the investor. Successful application of REITs in four-five Asian countries helps us believe that it will work in India, especially since this year's budget for the first time ever has recognized the concept of a business trust, which can also operate as a business entity. There are some caveats that must still be addressed but this is a significant beginning."
Mr. Niranjan Hirandani, Managing Director, Hiranandani Constructions Pvt. Ltd, commended Mr. Barua for spearheading the REITs regulation and emphasized, "If large-scale real estate investment is to be pulled to India immediately, REITs is the answer. However, some key issues such as transfer of asset to REIT, levy of stamp duty at the state government level etc need attention, upon which it shows potential benefits to the tune of USD 1o-15 billion over the long term. Whoever I have met in the international investment market is very excited to see how these can be converted into a reality."
Mr. Nehal Vora, Chief Regulatory Officer, BSE Ltd., gave the exchange standpoint, saying, "It is an exciting opportunity that will serve the macro objective of ensuring transparency and corporate governance as we move to the 'exchange traded model' from what was an 'over the counter (OTC) model' so far."
Lauding REITs as a big step in the right direction, Mr. Rajesh Agarwal, Chief Executive Officer, Shapoorji Pallonji Investment Advisors,touched upon its value proposition for investors. "REITs have introduced a new sliver within India's limited investment options. This will deepen and broaden the market for an Indian investor and invoke a comeback of foreign investors who'd invested in India in '06-07 with lesser confidence," he said.
At a separate session on 'Infrastructure Trusts, including tax issues', industry experts comprising Mr. Siddharth Shah, Partner, Khaitan & Co, Mr. Gautam Mehra, Executive Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers Pvt. Ltd and Mr. Milind Joshi, Partner, IDFC Alternatives, shared valuable viewpoints on how InVITs can expedite the existing infrastructure projects and address inefficiencies of increasing debt finance costs, locked up equity of private investors, lack of international finance etc.
Mr Dilip Piramal, Vice-President of the IMC said, "Through InvITs, the government is aiming to create a new avenue for raising funds to meet infra investment requirements of Rs 65 lakh crore for the 12th Five Year Plan. Small investors are allowed to invest too, with minimum amount starting at Rs 2 lakh. These new norms would enable listing and trading of REITs and InvITs as any other security on stock exchange platforms."

Doctor : Thank you for writing to us. I think that you are not eating well. This can be causing you to not recover well and th e protein loss from the body is not being replaced.

All the best. Hope this helps you.

Specializing in Naturally Curly Hair
For Naturally Curly Hair,
A Great Haircut is Key!
Along wth Keratin Treatment (often referred to as the "Globel Keratin Treatment") is the only treatment available today that effectively eliminates frizz from the hair for an extended period of time, without removing the hair's natural wave (as opposed to the "Japanese Straightener" which does just that).If you are looking for Straight Hair, have the "Japanese Straightener".
Keratin is a protein of which the hair is mainly composed, and this process infuses an extra layer of keratin to smooth out the frizz. There are numerous formulations on the market. The Globel Keratin comes from the hair of the New Zealand Sheep.
At Innovative Hair Designs Inc. by, Marie Venter, she offers a zero percent formaldehyde option which also contains collagen to make the hair not only frizz-free, but also soft, silky and shiny. The keratin treatment results typically last 3 to 4 months.
How to Solve Frizzy Hair
Dry, puffy and frizzy hair is often the result of over processing, experiencing humid weather or applying the wrong styling techniques to curly hair. In fact, the tighter the curl pattern in your hair, the more difficult it is for natural oils to lubricate your hair shaft to reduce the appearance of frizz. For frizzy-hair sufferers, you'll need expert tips (Marie Venter) to add shine, rejuvenate curls and quench parched hair. Using product made for curly and dry hair, you can obtain beautiful and healthy curl.
1. Keep hair conditioned regularly. Use conditioner and shampoo formulations for curly hair.
2. Shampoo your hair every three to five days.
3. On the days you do not shampoo your hair, rinse with conditioner only.
4. Rinse hair with cool water.
5. The cold water will make the hair cuticle lie flat, and your hair will look shinier.
6. Dry your hair using a towel.
7. Apply a pea-sized portion of styling cream or leave-in conditioner to coat strands and add moisture to your curls.
8. Apply the product evenly to your strands using a large wide-tooth comb
9. To keep your hair from frizzing in humid weather
10. Mix a dollop of gel with an equal amount of styling cream in the palm of your hand. Apply this mixture to your curls and scrunch your hair to activate your curls.
11. Let hair dry naturally, or blow dry it with a diffuser set on a low or cool setting. Avoid scrunching your hair while drying, which will break up curls and create the appearance of frizzy hair.
12. Add hair or shine serum for additional shine. Frizzy hair requires weight on its ends to avoid the appearance of puffy hair. Apply the products to the ends of your hair first--so the tips of your hair are saturated longer than the roots.

Blogging from HP Netbook
Today, I blog from my youngest brother new HP netbook which he got when he ordered streamyx for my parent's house.
What is my experience using a netbook?
Hmmm…this is tricky but I'll be honest… I'm not use to the keyboard. It is almost the same as other laptop keyboard. I feel like there are less keys in this netbook. There's no page up and page down keys. I'm not sure of other keys.
A significant point that I dislike is the small monitor. I can't really blame it too much because this is a netbook and it is suppose to be small. I feel like my overall view is very limited.
Nevertheless, the small size and mass of this netbook are the plus points. No doubt of it!
Do I want to use a netbook?
No!!! Not at all despite of the fact that it is lighter and smaller than a laptop. I still prefer carrying my Toshiba or HP laptop instead of using a netbook.
Please, no offence to netbook users. I just speak my mind… 🙂

Pachamama Alliance is beautifully and actively increasing awareness in the general public, as well as facilitating great and positive change for the indigenous people, the ecology, and greater planet as a whole! I am proud to be a follower! I am relieved a group like this exists and is working on the behalf of us all! Thank Pachamama Alliance! Keep up the good work! Sandy
I have been aware of the Pachamama Alliance's great and important work for years. Finally, recently, at my company's (Powur PBC) first training and business event, I was able to experience the Pachamama Alliance's powerful, cathartic, inforamative healing, and motivational "Awaken the Dreamer" program! Loved it! I would recommend this program for anyone, from anyone walk of life. I hope to host "Awaken the Dreamer" in my town too.
The Pachamama Alliance guided a group of us into the rainforest — and their vision, integrity and care for those of us who visited was phenomenal. Living with the Achuar tribe, experiencing their shaman, and sharing ceremony was a pivotal point in my life.
I took the awakening the dreamer symposium and it was very inspiring, though difficult to learn what I learned. The information is important for everyone to know, and the facilitators did a good job of leading discussions. It was good to meet other people who are concerned with the state of the world. I would recommend everyone take the symposium.

Jury to hear from defense in porch shooting trial
DETROIT (AP) — The defense is to present its side in the trial of a suburban Detroit man charged in the fatal shooting of a young woman on his porch last fall.
Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday after five days of evidence and testimony against 55-year-old Theodore Wafer of Dearborn Heights. He's charged with second-degree murder in the death of 19-year-old Renisha McBride.
Testimony resumes Thursday. Wafer is claiming self-defense.
Defense lawyers have tried to cast the police investigation in a poor light, but Detective Sgt. Steve Gurka has defended his work.
It's not publicly known whether Wafer will testify. But experts believe it's necessary if he wants to show jurors that he reasonably acted out of fear last Nov. 2 when McBride was pounding at his door.

Come into the Light Trailer (2005)
"Crime, Drama" 21 January 2005 Drama, Crime 90 mins
A priest (Zingaretti - Inspector Montalbano) attends his new parish only to find the church empty, the locals uninterested and their children rude and abusive. He very gently sets about winning over first the children by providing them with a place to play and learn and then works on their parents. The church slowly becomes the focal point of the community and rapidly ends up full with standing room only. But...

2014 Kia Cadenza - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Vehicle2014 Kia Cadenza Premium 4dr Sedan (3.3L 6cyl 6A)
ReviewThis past weekend I took my first road trip (800mi rnd trip); I was more than thrilled with how it handled. ItÂs seriously autobahn ready! The Cadenza was solid at all speeds 70, 80, 90+. No matter the speed, it continued to accelerate with very little prodding; and the steering remained precise/accurate. MPG: On the 1st leg I avgÂd 28.7mpg, on the 2nd I averaged 28mpg; I was NOT driving economically. :) In the city, I have averaged 22mpg so far.
The features and appointments crammed into this car are ridiculous! To get the same size of car, with the same features, I would have to spend at least $15K more. In short, there are no dancing rats anywhere near this car; it is a joy to drive!
Best FeaturesWhen not listening to the satellite radio or streaming music from my iPhone, there was very little road noise and it was easy to have a quiet conversation. The nav and entertainment system is intuitive and very responsive, and the voice recognition is the best I have used. Favorite feature: While there are so many, I really enjoyed the rain-sensing wiper blades. As it rained periodically and at various intervals, I didn't have to mess with the wiper blades as the wipers automatically turned themselves on and adjusted their speed basis the amount of rain or water hitting the windshield (in the case where I passed the occasional Semi). The cooled driver's seat was super comfy!
Worst FeaturesItems to watch: 1) Even though the seats are very comfortable, after several hours my wifeÂs back started to hurt as the front passenger seat did not have an adjustable lumbar support. The driver's seat was comfortable, and everyone in the backseat was nice and comfortable. 2) The headlamps did not automatically turn on when it rained (I guess it wasnÂt dark enough), so I had to turn them on manually. 3) Other complaints, I may have driven too fast/aggressively for her liking as the car just wanted to go faster :) I rated reliability as a 5, as it's hard to beat the warranty (best in class) and the free standard maintenance for 3yr or 37,500mi is a nice perk to boot!

A few weeks ago I went to the dealership to take a look. I was very surprised to discover it was difficult for me to get in and out of the car. While sitting in the front with the seat all the way down my hair was touching the sunroof. I am only 6 ft tall but I do have a long torso. One of the reasons I was surprised is that I own 2 Kia Amanti and have been super pleased with both. I just got back from a trip to LA and Las Vegas from Alabama and the car performed flawlessly as it always has and it has 115,000 miles on the 2007. My wife's 2008 has only 24,000 miles and does not drive any better than mine. I was seriously considering a purchase but I may take a look at the Azera or Genesis. Outside chance I may consider an Equis but unlikely since living on a fixed income requires long term planning. I hope the model works out for KIA but the sales people still have no idea how to talk with people looking at $40,000 KIA just like they had no idea how to talk to customers buying a $32,000 Amanti back in 2007 and 2008Report it

Whenever you are putting your group together, it's essential that you simply discover artists who are enthusiastic and dedicated when you are. Sadly, many artists aren't prepared to achieve success in audio. It's typical for all bands to truly have a difficult time choosing the best band members actually 'big-name' rings. Regardless of this, there are lots of artists who do have what it requires as well. Here are a few ideas to assist you to flourish in your group:
Tip No. 1:
You will find no limitations as to the you are able to achieve if you should be within the organization of band members who're certainly achievement oriented.
Tip No. 2:
If your group is saturated in artists who don't possess a powerful dedication to some audio profession that is productive, then it's most unlikely you will achieve something substantial within the music business.
Tip No. 3:
It's common for possible band members to 'speak large', although not really follow-up on which they claim. Every artist really wants to become extremely effective in audio, but not many artists may certainly put the time and effort in order out to become successful. You'll encounter most of these people often. Individuals such as this may wish to join your group, but will not be ready to assist your band within the long term (they'll just decelerate your development). Stay away from these kinds of artists no matter what.
Tip No. 4:
To be able to develop achievement for the group, you'll have to regularly released a good deal of work (this applies also once you have started to 'ensure it is'). In case your group just includes a handful of individuals who do the work all, the quantity of work only will be a great deal to manage by yourself. Consequently, the group will not accomplish achievement that is substantial. Provide this up together when you begin to observe that another artist inside your band aren't getting out much work to assist the group. Let them know they have just one opportunity to alter their methods. Reduce them in the group should you subsequently observe that they've not created any initiatives to show issues around. These folks are only going to pull along your group.

"You'd be amazed from the quantity of designers and artists who're simply holding out for chance to knock-on their doorway because they merely follow what designers and the rest of the artists are doing."
"Losers in a period that is dropping, perpetuated by additional losers that are following. It is undoubtedly the most used, although not this type of fantastic strategy."
Tip No. 5:
Some artists create from the strictly musical viewpoint for exemplary band members. Nevertheless, it's an extremely typical scenario from building progress in audio that gifted artists really avoid their group. The reason being gifted artists like every artist may be the incorrect people for the group. If you like to attain excellent achievement together with your group, you'll have to focus of where the band is certainly going on the broader range. This implies, if somebody may be the wrong individual for the group, you have to allow them proceed even when they are able to perform excellent.
Tip No. 6:
Finding the band members that are right might occasionally appear to be an impossible job. Nevertheless, keep in mind that probably the most devoted artists will also be searching for you in the same period that you're searching for them. These people reveal exactly the same need to perform in an effective group as you do, and are also going right through the exact same issues while you.
Tip No. 7:
Lots of people create of not contemplating recruiting artists who perform in groups who've previously achieved a good deal of achievement within the music company, the error. Truth is, there are lots of artists who perform in most of these rings who're unhappy using another members work. Furthermore, it's common that effective rings are seeking to find the band members that are correct to displace their present artists who're no longer currently working out.
Consider all you will be able after you have discovered the best artists for the group to do. This implies being surrounded by artists who not just 'chat big', but 'do big'. These are people that work hard-on a continuous basis to create improvement within their music professions, and are extremely encouraged. You'll turn into a completely unstoppable pressure after you have these folks in your corner!

Pre-echo, sometimes called a forward echo, (not to be confused with reverse echo) is a digital audio compression artifact where a sound is heard before it occurs (hence the name). It is most noticeable in impulsive sounds from percussion instruments such as castanets or cymbals.
It occurs in transform-based audio compression algorithms – typically based on the modified discrete cosine transform (MDCT) – such as MP3, MPEG-4 AAC, and Vorbis, and is due to quantization noise being spread over the entire transform-window of the codec.
The psychoacoustic component of the effect is that one hears only the echo preceding the transient, not the one following – because this latter is drowned out by the transient. Formally, forward temporal masking is much stronger than backwards temporal masking, hence one hears a pre-echo, but no post-echo.
In an effort to avoid pre-echo artifacts, many sound processing systems use filters where all of the response occurs after the main impulse, rather than linear phase filters. Such filters necessarily introduce phase distortion and temporal smearing, but this additional distortion is less audible because of strong forward masking.
The empty space before the start of the music on this LP has been amplified +15dB to reveal the pre-echo.

Avoiding pre-echo is a substantial design difficulty in transform domain lossy audio codecs such as MP3, MPEG-4 AAC, and Vorbis. It is also one of the problems encountered in digital room correction algorithms and frequency domain filters in general (denoising by spectral subtraction, equalization, and others). One way of reducing "breathing" for filters and compression techniques using piecewise Fourier-based transforms is picking a smaller transform window (short blocks in MP3), thus increasing the temporal resolution of the algorithm at the cost of reducing its frequency resolution.
As a sound effect[edit]
A pre-echo effect may be added intentionally as a type of sound effect. A common use for this is to make a person's voice sound ghostly.[1]

U-boat captain is sunk by the taxman over his £1million fiddle
A CAPTAIN BIRDSEYE lookalike who cruised the canals of Britain in a mock German U-boat could be jailed after swindling the taxman out of more than £1million.
Williams dressed as commander with his U-8047
Richard Williams, 56, spent £50,000 kitting out the vessel, which he named U-8047, with naval artefacts, a periscope and dummy torpedoes.
The customised canal barge was moored as a floating visitor attraction at Clarence Dock in Leeds, West Yorkshire, when it was raided by Customs officers.
The maritime history enthusiast, who had adopted the naval title "captain", toured the waterways of northern Britain and Northern Ireland in his makeshift U-boat, often wearing the uniform of a German submarine commander.
He is facing a prison sentence after admitting failing to pay more than £1million in taxes to the Revenue and Customs.
An investigation by officers dating back to 2012 found Williams and his former partner Laurel Howarth had set up a number of companies in Lancashire, which claimed to sell disability equipment to care homes and the NHS.
Evidence gathered by Customs showed minimal genuine sales activity, if any, yet the pair filed false tax returns and invoices for more than £1million.
Both Williams, of Blackpool, Lancashire, and Howarth, 28, formerly of the same address, hijacked the identities of friends in an attempt to hide the fraud.
The pair went to great lengths to try and cover their tracks
Williams, who is also known as Stephen Howarth, was charged under a series of other aliases it was claimed he had used, after the raid on his self-made U-boat in January 2012.
Six months earlier Williams had been spotted touring the waterways around Liverpool dressed in full German submarine commander regalia.
He claimed he was a former mobility scooter salesman who had spent more than £50,000 building the U-boat.
He also alleged he had been attacked by passers-by who thought he was a Nazi.
Sandra Smith, assistant director of criminal investigation for the Revenue, said: "The attempts of Williams and Howarth to extort money from the public purse were brazen and the pair went to great lengths to try and cover their tracks."
The pair appeared at Manchester Crown Court on Friday and admitted several charges.
Williams pleaded guilty to three counts of cheating the public revenue and one of having an article used for fraud.
Howarth pleaded guilty to three counts of making false returns.
The case was adjourned until next month for pre-sentence reports.

With the exception of the ride to Luray, I've haven't as much as turned a fucking wheel on any of my bikes. I carefully broached the subject of riding in a Toy Run last weekend with my doctor, and she looked at me as if I'd lost my mind. (And NO, I wasn't trying to get her to ride, but hey, she's kinda cute and has a great f'n job, so.......)
But I digress, as I'm known to do when I'm bored to death.
To make a long story short, the accident yanked the rug out of a significant chunk of my life, riding my motorcycle, and I'm not taking it well.
I've just been sitting around, doing damn near nothing, and have gained 5 or 6 pounds from becoming a couch potato. The only non-couch activity I've done, unrelated to work and doctors, was getting my Sturgis tattoo redone, plus a run down to Texas to see family and check on my house, and even that little trip put a hurtin' on me.
"The Boys!" Me, with Colton and Nathan in Azle, Texas
Before - the Main Street, Sturgis, version
After - Sean Bajek at Saints & Sinners, Fells Point, did his magic once again
In a weak moment that I'll blame on painkillers, and with lots of time on my hands, I started chewing on the idea of a new bike. Yep, another one. This time, though, I figured if I bought a new one, one of the three I have would have to go in as a trade, keeping the fleet the same size.
So I instantly ruled out the '08 Softail Custom 105th Anniversary. That's my favorite bike, and it's still the best damn motorcycle Harley Davidson ever built, plus it's a ton of fun to ride.
And Joker? Who the hell would want that one??!! Useless except for speed runs to Hooters and the occasional burnout to impress whoever happens to be looking. Or for nobody, since it's just fun to do it. And besides, what else can I ride the Dragon with at crazy speeds!
And #4? As cool as the little guy is, he ain't gonna put a dent in the down payment on a new Harley.
Leaving Big Blue.
That's a tough one too. That Road King is a damn nice bike, and runs just great. Not one hiccup all the way to Sturgis, on to Wyoming, then Denver, and back here. So I don't know whether to let it go.
And the good news is that I don't need to make a decision right this second. I can sit back and watch some more TV and maybe gain a couple more pounds.
