It's been an utterly horrifying and life-chaning experience purchasing the DV9000 and all of the consistent shipping back to the HP Repair Center and receiving back a notebook with new issues and always new physical damages. Within 90 days of my new HP Store sales rep purchase the motherboard had to be replaced twice along with other issues. HP denied my requests for refunds within required time and after or notebook replacement.
Each time the unit was return with severe damages; scratches and gashes on a brand new notebook.

From your posted link I see you've had a lot of problem with the DV9000 series.
I have some knowledge of some of the issues so i thought I'd post a little information on them.
They by FAR do not cover all of your issues, however.
Appologies for some of the information being incomplete as I don't have access to the specific resources they come from at this time.
Return/Refund Policy:
Most pc manufacturers have a return policy similar to a retail store.
HP's policy is something like up to 30 days after purchase you can return the system for refund or replacement.
You'll have to talk to the HP online store representatives for this as they are a different department from technical support.
If the system was bought from a retailer, HP cannot take it back that easily.
Most retailers have a 14 day return policy (some of those are becoming longer though) and if you bought it through a retailer you have to go back to them.
Case managers may have some options for you if things just aren't working out elsewhere but don't hold your breath on it.
From the time you purchased your notebook it appears you would fall under the 'Apollo/Atlantis Motherboard Issue'.
These are issues that arrise primarily from the motherboard on the system and cause everything from full no boots/no video to missing wireless cards in your hardware lists. This became an issue around November 2007 and the list of affected systems was compiled and added to until the middle of 2008 or so.
Repairs after the begining of 2008 for issues that are covered by the service enhancement would have your motherboard replaced with a new one. The new motherboard is compatible with the system but not the same model type as the failing one.
The BIOS update from the HP site does fix some of these problems without a motherboard replacement, as the bios interaction with the motherboard devices is part of the cause of some of these issues.
Wireless Connectivity Decreased:
There was an issue in 2007 where some notebooks reported lower wireless reception than expected (even right next to the wireless access point).
If you test your connection (via downloading the same file or using an internet connection speed test), you may find your speeds are actually approximately the same. If so this is because the sensor to report the connection quality is actually 'pointing' at the wrong hardware address. It is only a display error and is fixed by a patch, as I recall.
Battery Life:
The basic warranty on a battery with HP is 1 year. It is not covered by further warranty enhancements on the system.
The battery's life after 1 year should be approximately 80% of it's maximum as the battery is consumed and becomes less efficient.
If your battery fails completely or is giving drastically reduced life times, there is a battery check program (on the system and downloadable from HP's site).
If your battery lists as FAILED when running this program, HP will replace it if the battery is in warranty.
If it does not, policy is that it shouldn't be replaced as the issue lies elsewhere.
Some bios updates also fix this problem.
A normal suggestion here is to drain the battery through use (just leave the system on until it turns itself off from low battery), then keep the system off and plug the system in overnight and leave it. This is a battery calibration and can help restore some life to your battery.
Static or shorting out are often driver issues so a driver update may help(otherwise they're hardware issues).
Volume being too low at maximum is also usually a driver issue or a hardware issue.
Just don't expect the quality and volume of a $150+ speaker set.
Integrated devices have moved up in standard quality over they years but sound is still pretty basic.
The lack of certain controls for your sound settings is actually standard.
Most systems will not have options for treble or bass adjustment (ie: an equalizer).
An entertainment system will not have these as the software handling the sound is usually just the operating system and a driver.
This is normal for an integrated sound card.
For a desktop, a PCI or PCI-Express sound card will have its own software that will often handle this.
Additionally, the new laptops HP started shipping about Q2 2008 DO have an equializer software built onto their platform. It looked pretty nice but I never had the opportunity to use it.
Ethernet Issues:
Missing ethernet connections are fairly common after motherboard replacements as the driver your system is trying to use it not always the exact one the hardware needs and so it fails to work. Uninstalling the old network card and restarting the computer (letting the system find the hardware like it was a new piece) often works here.
HP & How it works:
HP has been trying pretty hard recently to get their technical support and repair back up to par, so to speak.
There are a lot of internal issues that cause no end to frustration for a customer, your case is a prime example.
Your first call will typically reach a CSR, a call router, who will route you to the department you're looking for.
Often these agents are not native english speakers and customers begin to get frustrated, especially if one tries to sell them something.
From here you're routed to Technical Support, hopefully the right one for you as there are centers devoted to Desktop support, notebook support, printer support, camera support, and business class support (also split into sections, i believe).
The agent receiving your call will confirm you and your system and pull up your service ticket, which should have been created by the CSR, or create one if it has not. If one exists it should list any details about your system issues for the agent so they don't have to ask you again. There often aren't notes in things like this as the first agent is not technically trained to understand technical issues, so you will probably be describing the issue again.
The agent then goes about trying to solve your issue. They have resources ranging from their own knowledge to internal only knowledge bases to asking for direction from a tier 2 agent. These first level agents are trained to resolve normal issues and learns to solve new ones as they arise. The systems being supported are so complicated and the issues so varried, agents (both tier 1 and tier 2) will learn quite abit from experience rather than training.
If the agent can't solve your issue you'll be moved to a tier 2 agent who picks up the case where it left off (and may have to ask you the same questions over again according to what notes have been taken for them to read about your system issues).
If your issue still can't be resolved it is usually extremely unique or comes after repeat failures of some kind, you'll be moved up to a case manager. Case managers are there to handle the issues that pretty much arise from a customer being really frustrated with the system or the progress of repairs (this is about 90% of the calls they handle). A repaired system came back still failing or with new issues (as yours has), policy is going to state it needs to be sent back in for repair but customers will want refunds, replacements, or other options and that's where a case manager will come in.
So to this point a tier 1 can talk to a tier 2 who can talk to a case manager.
Now comes to the repair departments.
This is a common issue with large companies like HP, departments don't always have easy contact with eachother.
Repair departments are commonly contacts via leaving messages attached to repair orders rather than direct real time contact.
So you want to know how your repair is going? A message can be sent which will often be replied to with a short message saying it's 'in process' or 'just shipped out' when it gets replied to... to the agents sending the message. The repair centers will not call customers as they only repair the systems. Any additional information that is needed by the center from the customer is commonly done by another kind of agent elsewhere, who does not have direct contact with the repair center either.
It's a cut in communication that can make it very hard for a customer to get proper information.
An agent that you're talking to on the phone can tell you what the record says (ie: Yeah your system is in transit back to you, here's the tracking number.) but if you need something that isn't there, there isn't any 'good' way to get it to you.
HP has been working to improve their support so this will hopefully change in the future.
Now your system won't be fixed by the details I've posted above.
You have to work with the resources you have: your contacts and support at HP.
The best thing you can do is hang in there and try to be calm and courtious to the support you talk to.
They really are doing what they can to help you out but everyone is bound by different policies (according to position) and communication issues across the departments.
Oh and last thing for you, if your system has been in for repair at least 3 times for the same issue (or enough times total) you can request a replacement from a case manager. It's part of that.. three strikes law.. thing (the part about 3 times for the same issue). There's more detail than that, however.
Personally, I feel for you with all the issues you've had with this system.
I, myself, would talk to a case manage about a replacement as a replacement must be of equal or greater value of your system.
They are often refurbished system but that at least means they've been tested pretty well.
(Refurbished systems come from either returns or repairs ... some of these have never even had use as the customer just decided they didn't want it after opening the box or wanted something different.)
Just remember to tell them what you require in a system so they can try to match it up for you.

Hello, i'm replying here as i don't really know if i should make a new post or not. I seem to have some problems with my HP pavillion dv9000. My brother thinks that it's the motherboard that's the problem.
Since i got the laptop from my brother, there have some problems with the wireless network card turning on and off when it feels like it (that got frustrating fast so i had to use cable) Then the laptop stopped turning on properly, for some weird reason i had to turn it on, then eject the CD/DVD rom and restart it before it would boot. And last week it suddenly stopped working. When i turn it on, it tries to boot for about 10sec before it either restarts and tries again, or makes some beeping noises before it restarts.
I looked around on the web and found out that other people had similar problems. I also read about the Extended Warranty for the dv9000 series, but sadly, my product number "RR111EA" did not qualify for a free repair. I've tried to connect it to another screen aswell but that doesn't seem to help as it only shows "no signal"
Anyone that can help or anything? Should i make this as a new post perhaps?

The beeping you're hearing on occassion are probably bios beep codes.
Listen to their sequence carefully and see if they match up with the ones found at: http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml
The ones you sould be looking at are under Phoenix BIOS beep codes as most HP notebooks use the phoenix bios, I believe.
As to the wireless turning off and on, besides the possibility of malware (since malware can cause all sorts of interesting things.. the least of which would be eating all your bandwith), you may check the wireless light on your system. Most HP system uses blue lights to show an 'on' or 'good' status. So if most of your lights are blue, if your wireless icon along the keyboard (not in the taskbar, the physical keyboard) is blue.. it is on.. if it is orange/red then it is disabled or having a problem. HP likes their touch sensitive keys so you probably have one to toggle it off/on easily on the keyboard. Make sure you're not somehow triggering that. Possible software solutions to that would be to connect to the internet wired (like you are using now), make sure you have an available wireless driver, and uninstall the current wireless driver on your system. Once it is removed, reinstall it using the new driver.
You can find available drivers for your system at HP's support site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategor
As to your booting problems, I'd suggest to start with a hard reset of your system. This will flush out any residual information in your ram. Turn off your system, unplug it from the wall, and take out the battery. Try turning it on at this point (it will not do anything) as it will try to connect the circuit and flush out what juice is in your system. Put the battery back in, plug it in, and power on the system. You may see a working system where you did not before.
With it trying to boot for 10 seconds before restarting, you have a couple possible problems here: the system is trying to boot but failing, causing an core dump or error, then restarting, your harddrive could be failing, or you could have a bad component (ram or motherboard).
To test for harddrive failure you can boot into your bios. I believe that it's F9 to access your bios.. so when you hit the power to turn on your system hit F9 a couple of times. That should get you into your bios. Cycle through the screens/menus and look for Hard Drive Self Test. When you find it, highlight it, and push enter. It should start. (You may have to hit enter twice as some bios' will calculate an estimated run time first).
This will run, usually taking about 30 to 45 minutes, and tell you if your harddrive is failing or not.
If you're having an error or core dump, you may not know it as windows will automatically restart instead of show certain types of messages.
You can turn this option off by logging into safe mode (if it you can get that far of course).
When your system is just starting up, tap F8 a couple of times. Instead of loading to windows this should give you some boot options. You want to choose Safe Mode from the list then hit Enter. This will boot you into safe mode. Your resolution will look awful with big icons and such, that's normal for safe mode. If you go to Control Panel, System, Advanced, and go to the Start up and Recovery tab you can uncheck Automatically restart under the System Failure section. Hit ok and restart the system. This might let you see an actual error to give a better idea of what's going on.
If you DO get to safe mode, you most likely have a software level problem and your system can be fixed by either repairing the operating system (which HP doesn't really have the option for as it takes a manufacturer OS disk to do this) or by reinstalling the OS (via the recovery partition using F11 while booting). There are a couple other things you can try like disabling start up programs via MSConfig but if the system is crashing before trying to log into windows, that is unlikely to have any effect.
If you aren't getting any video at all (no boot up text or anything, just a black screen) you've got a video issue. That hard reset can help here as well.
Good call trying to hook up another monitor if that is the case.
Unfortuately if an external monitor isn't getting a signal either then you're not going to have much luck as you don't have a loose cable to your LCD.
There aren't many options for you at this point. Check those beeps. Your RAM might be loose and causing the system to not boot at all. The beeps should inidcate this if you're getting them. Then you can just open up the bottom of your case, take out the RAM chips, and put them back in to be sure they're secure.
As to needing to eject the cd rom.. does it have a cd in it? If it does, it may be bootable which would cause it to try to load before windows.
If it doesn't, then that's definitely strange.
You may want to reset your BIOS settings to default to make sure there's no odditites in the settings.
Get to your bios with F9 like I stated above, look for a section either listing keys( F10 to save and exit, etc) to tell you which to hit to reset to Defaults (i don't remember off hand) or go to the last menu where it lets you save and exit, there shoudl be a Reset to Defaults there too. Reset it to defaults and then save and exit.
Also, as you thought, this isn't exactly the best thread for this specific issue.
You probably want to make a new one.
Just put a link to this thread in it so it can be used for reference.
Good luck

Hello again.
I tried to remove the battery, unplug it and then do the rest you said. Doesn't seem to be working though. And i can't really look at the screen because it's all black and i fear that the screen might be broken aswell. I saw some free repair on that aswell and my laptop qualifies for that. (Some broken left hinge thing)
About the wireless network card, i doubt it's a virus or malware or anything like that. As sometimes (really rarely) it actually shows in the device manager menu, i can turn it on and off as i usually would if it shows there. But mostly, it doesn't show there at all. I tried to update drivers for it while it was showing, didn't work.
I can't log in either as i formated it to install windows 7 beta, that was the last thing i could do before it died on me (it had problems before that as well)
I tried connecting it to another screen again, it shows "going to sleep" Then "no signal", so the laptop might be going into sleep mode when it starts?
I also checked the beep code, and according to it there's something wrong with the "Display adapter", that is the connection to the screen?
Here's a link to the "left hinge" repair i was talking about earlier. I think i may need a new motherboard or anything, if the screen can get fixed but the rest can't.

to point out the 7 times back and forth
that is so ridiculous after the 4 or 5 times
you should have gotten laptop replacement
no question ask
i like to note that is whom ever you talk to
an HP rep or tech is very incompetent and
should have read and acknowledge
the back and forth times for repair
how stupid can they be
you have lemon Laptop and should be replace
i as a customer will not tolerate repairs and issue
beyond the 4 or 5 times ___ no excuse for this
the merry ground around needs to stop
you need to talk to the customer service
and inform of this has gone out of hand
making you deal with this back and fouth
and have you to deal with a lemon laptop
here is the link to customer service
i stop at the first paragraph and no need for me to read
futher about the 7th time back and forth repear
i hope you can get this resolved
and good luck
good points or advice..
Aslo if the questions or issues solved please check it
Thanks and you are welcome _____ Rick

Blog Sponsored by Taylor & Carls, P.A.
In the association setting, a transfer fee is a fee which is required to be paid to the association upon the transfer of title of a lot or home. Although the Florida legislature has found that transfer fees in general impair the transferability and marketability of property, Florida Statutes section 689.28(2)(c) has carved out certain exceptions which are allowable, including "any fee, charge, assessment, fine, or other amount payable to a homeowners', condominium, cooperative, mobile home, or property owners' association pursuant to a declaration or covenant or law applicable to such association . . . ." Thus, if an association's governing documents specifically authorize a transfer fee to be paid to the association, it will be permitted under Florida law.

"The Rudd government's offer to exclude agriculture emissions from the ETS hasn't cost the government anything since those emissions were not even in the CPRS to start with," said The Nationals' Senator Ron Boswell.
"If this is all the government's got to offer after weeks of negotiating then it bodes ill for the other eight specific issues laid down by the Coalition that must be addressed."
"Agriculture emissions were not locked into the government's CPRS, they were just a possibility after 2015. This is not a big concession from the government at all."
"Farmers are concentrating now on the cost rises that will come from an ETS regardless of whether their emissions are counted or not. The issue of paying for emissions is not their immediate concern."
Senator Boswell said that farmers were really worried about the higher costs of electricity, fuel, chemicals, fertiliser and processing that would accompany an ETS, squeezing business margins by thousands of dollars.
"The Joint Party room is expecting a full report on Tuesday on the negotiated amendments on the nine specific issues that were laid down on 24 July."
"Agriculture emissions is just one of those. Without a negotiated outcome that delivers general increases in electricity prices no greater than comparable countries, then there is no chance that the Coalition's longstanding concerns will be met."
Senator Boswell said that the Coalition's position was that Australian industry be offered no less protection than the US. "At this stage, we don't even know what level of protection will be offered in the US, so it will be very difficult to meet that provision."
"That is one of the reasons why it is Coalition policy to not pass any CPRS legislation before Copenhagen."
"The best way to give farmers the certainty they need and the relief from high electricity prices is to not pass the CPRS."
"This does not mean that Australia does not lower its emissions but it means we avoid a tremendously costly restructuring that serves only to make the government and money brokers rich while doing nothing for global warming."
Senator Boswell said that he expected the CPRS cheerleaders like the BCA and other rentseekers and campfollowers to lay on the pressure this week to pass the ETS.
"But it will take more than a hollow gesture over agriculture emissions to win the confidence of the Joint Party room."

My tiny distraction
by carrie
October 23rd, 2009 | Posted in welcome | 3 Comments »I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. I was staying so busy with baking, decorating. creating, and making up fun projects that I could post multiple times a week. But isn't it funny how sometimes we can get distracted by the tiniest things and forget to post for over a month. Well, that's what happened to me. That and feeling nauseous every day. And having zero desire to bake. And filling every second of free time with another nap. But, I digress. Here is my little distraction:
I'm at 12 weeks today so I am expecting a complete refueling of energy any second now. Or now. Ok I'll keep waiting. In the meantime I can tell you that: No, I don't know the gender yet. We have to wait another 6 weeks for that. But seeing this little guy (I'll refer to him as a he until I know otherwise) on the screen was amazing. I don't remember it with my first but he was wiggling around and looked as if he was waving to us. My two-year-old waved to the baby and said "Bye, Baby!" when he left. It was super cute and brought a few joyful tears to my eyes.
Now that this pregnancy is a little more real, I'll probably end up posting more on creative projects for the nursery, ideas for onesies, and fun things like that. I guess I'll need to wait until we know the gender to get too creative…
Expect some cake posts soon too. I did have a couple jobs I had to do (begrudgingly, at times!) and I remembered to take some pictures that I can post as soon as I can. Oh, spoolsisters, how I missed you.

33 more ateneo professors support rh bill, now 192 professors
this news is probably what got the bishop's goat on the ateneo professors – an additional 33 professors added their names to supporting the rh bill. what probably got the bishop riled is that the ateneo is a catholic school on top of being one of the country's top universities and the number of professors supporting the rh bill has grown.
with the bishop threatening to get them fired, the number of ateneo professors supporting the rh bill will probably increase even more.
More Ateneo profs endorse RH Bill
By: InterAksyon.com
August 19, 2012 8:26 AMMore faculty members of the Ateneo de Manila University have signed on to a statement in support of House Bill 4244, or The Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Bill.
Thirty-three professors added their names to the statement, again stressing that they took their position as individuals, and that they are "in no way speaking for the Ateneo de Manila University, the Society of Jesus, or the rest of their colleagues."
In updating its list of signatories, Prof. Marita Concepcion Castro Guevara, on behalf of the other signatories, said they had taken out one name erroneously included in the original list of statement endorsers.
"One name was included in error," Prof. Guevara said. "We apologize to Mr. Arturo A. Valencia for including his name, as he has not indicated any intention to support the RH Bill. We further apologize for whatever misperception and misunderstanding this may have caused to the person of Mr. Valencia and to the organizations to which he belongs."
In all, with Mr. Valencia's name taken out, and with the 33 additional endorsers, 192 of Ateneo's faculty members have now signed the statement, which InterAksyon.com had published earlier here.
The updated signatories list now reads as follows:
- Marita Concepcion Castro Guevara, PhD, Department of Interdisciplinary Studies
- Marlon J. Manuel, JD, Ateneo Law School
- Amparita S. Sta. Maria, LL.B., LL.M, Ateneo Human Rights Center, Ateneo Law School
- Joy G. Aceron, MPA, Ateneo School of Government, and Department of Political Science

160 Ateneo De Manila University Professors declare support for the RH Bill
Declaration of Support for House Bill 4244
(The Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Bill)
by individual faculty of the Ateneo de Manila University
We, the undersigned individual faculty of the Ateneo de Manila University, declare our strong support for House Bill 4244, the consolidated Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Bill (or RH Bill). We are heartened by the recent move of the House of Representatives to terminate the protracted debates and interpellations on this bill which has languished in Congress since 1999.
We urge our legislators to act swiftly and judiciously on the proposed amendments to the bill, and thereafter vote for its passage. We issue this call in our individual capacities as educators, researchers, medical doctors, lawyers, and citizens, and in no way speak for our University, the Society of Jesus, or the rest of our colleagues.
As members of the academe who value academic freedom and responsibility, we wish to put knowledge at the service of national development goals that promote the wellbeing of the majority of our people. In so doing, we seek to ground our claims on the current scientific consensus and empirical evidence, including the lived experience of the poor and marginalized.
We recognize that others who do the same may arrive at a position contrary to ours; however, we view the ability to hold and express divergent opinions on an issue as a sign of a vibrant academic community. Having read and studied HB 4244 (the Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Bill) as well as the proposed amendments by the bill's authors, we conclude that it is rights-based; supportive of State obligations to protect and promote health under the Philippine Constitution and international covenants and conventions; and in accordance with what Filipinos want, the vast majority of whom consistently say in surveys that they support the RH Bill.
Most important, the RH Bill is an equity measure that aims to reduce differential access to reproductive health and family planning services and information. It is the poor—and in particular poor women and their children—who stand to benefit the most from the passage of this bill. And should not the poor be the focal concern of any social institution, be it religion, education, or the government? State obligations, RH rights We commend President Benigno S. Aquino III for remaining steadfast to his campaign promise of "recognizing the advancement and protection of public health, which includes responsible parenthood, as key measures of good governance" (item 4 in his Social Contract with the Filipino People).
Despite intense pressure from Catholic bishops and other groups who vigorously oppose the RH Bill and are campaigning for its defeat in Congress, President Aquino in 2011 endorsed the Responsible Parenthood Bill (popularly known as the Reproductive Health Bill) as among his administration's priority measures, and reiterated the need for responsible parenthood in his State of the Nation Address last July 23, 2012.
We are likewise heartened that members of his Cabinet stand solidly behind the President in supporting the RH Bill. These include the 20 agencies under the Human Development and Poverty Reduction (HDPR) Cabinet Cluster such as the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Department of Health, the Department of Budget and Management, the Department of Interior and Local Government, the Department of Education, the Commission on Higher Education, the National Economic and Development Authority, the National Anti-Poverty Commission, and the Philippine Commission on Women, among others. After a decade of neglect of state support for family planning services (except for natural family planning [NFP]) under the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo which adopted an NFP-only policy, President Aquino's endorsement of a comprehensive framework for reproductive health initiatives is not only welcome but also long overdue.
Indeed, it is the obligation of the State, as primary duty-bearer, to provide information on and access to the full array of medically safe, effective, and legal family planning services in order to enable women, men, and couples—especially among the poor—to plan the number and spacing of their children. Government budgetary support for modern family planning methods (which include NFP and "artificial" contraception) is neither unconstitutional nor a breach in good governance (a form of "corruption," according to some bishops).
In the same way that the State is obligated to provide free basic education in public schools for the poor, so should it make information and services on family planning and reproductive health available to those who cannot afford these services.

Jim Halsey exhibit to open Friday in Oklahoma City
BY JENNIFER CHANCELLOR World Scene Writer
Sunday, January 13, 2013
1/13/13 at 4:05 AM
Tulsa-based music impresario Jim Halsey will get his own exhibit at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum in Oklahoma City.
It will be hosted in the Tulsa World Gallery starting Friday through April 5.
The exhibit, "Starmaker: Jim Halsey and the Legends of Country Music," debuted in 2010 with an all-star opening at the Oklahoma History Center. It showcases the storied life of the music promoter, featuring more than 60 years of memorabilia.
Born in Independence, Kan., in 1930, Halsey began promoting concerts while still in high school. He formed Jim Halsey Co. Talent Agency in 1951 in Oklahoma with his first client, Hank Thompson.
Halsey made an impact on the careers of musicians including Waylon Jennings, Reba McEntire, Minnie Pearl, Clint Black, Tammy Wynette, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, Conway Twitty, Leon Russell, The Judds, Willie Nelson and Bob Wills.
"Even in the late 1950s, we were pioneering Southeast Asia and the European markets with Wanda Jackson and Hank Thompson," Halsey said in a statement. "Our specialty was taking country music to locations and venues where it had never been presented before."
At its height, the Jim Halsey Co. was the largest country music agency in the world. He still works with musicians Roy Clark and the Oak Ridge Boys. He helped launch Wanda Jackson's career and was the first to take Roy Orbison's and Roy Clark's all-American sound behind the Iron Curtain.
"Starmaker: Jim Halsey and the Legends of Country Music" was produced by the Oklahoma History Center. The exhibit includes gold and platinum albums presented to Halsey artists, photos and stage clothing. On display are guitars from Halsey's collections signed by artists such as BB King, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton.
The opening reception will be 5-7 p.m. Friday at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, 1400 Classen Drive in Oklahoma City. The reception is open to the public, free for Oklahoma Heritage Association and museum members and $5 for nonmembers.
RSVP to Corie Baker at 405-523-3206 or email

The best websites tend to combine some great web design with some equally great web development. Unfortunately, there are some people out there who think that, because they know how to code a website using HTML and CSS, they will be able to do the design side of the project, too. Whilst these people can often be quite successful, other times there are a number of mistakes made when developers try to tackle design. The following list comprises some of the more common mistakes made, as well as how you can avoid them.

Bloomingdale's in LA is promising you the best fitting jeans EVER !!!
They're using Kinect For Windows. Yes. Kinect. It's the same device that comes with your XBOX video console. Just like the Kinect "eye" tracks your moves to play and control video games, Kinect tracks your curves to suggest the best jeans for your body. You just step into this pod-like machine, and boom -- you come out looking like JLo ... Well, sorta ...
Now, if you only you could only step inside and get a complete wardrobe makeover ... Wait ... I think I know how I'm gonna make my next fortune. Gotta go !!!

"Excellent hotel in a lovely village"
Couldn't fault the hotel at all - staff were very helpful, breakfast (food and service) excellent, dinner superb (pricey, but worth it) and the room clean and comfortable. My only minor gripe would be that the ale range is a little limited but there's another pub in the village with a great range.Дійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com
"Breakfast was highlight"
Breakfast was great, nice little pub , staff friendly, room in need of updating and smelt a little musty, shower wasn't great either but fine for a stop over. Would stay again if rooms were updated.Дійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com
"Good location for walking and good restaurant food"
Hotel was clean and comfy, staff very friendly. Restaurant food was good quality. Perfect Location of hotel for walking in countryside even in the snow. heating ok in morning and evening but does go off during the day. Tried to have bath late afternoon but no hot water.Дійсний відгук від користувача Expedia
"Nice little hotel with great food."
Unfortunately we were allocated a room directly above the double entrance door to the bar which was extremely noisy when people were entering and leaving. This, however was the only negative as the hotel was clean, comfortable and provided an excellent full English breakfast. The food served in the restaurant was surprisingly good and staff were very […] friendly and helpful. Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Expedia

We stayed for one night in a family room which was quite large and had a sofabed, double bed and extra child's bed, all in separate areas. The room was very cold. Three of the four radiators didn't work; we mentioned this and one of the staff came to the room but couldn't get them working either. She said the manager would have a look when he arrived […] at 7pm; but when we returned after dinner, they still weren't working. The child's room was so cold that my son couldn't sleep in it and had to use the sofabed. The bathroom was tiny and badly needed refurbishing. The washbasin was cracked; there was no hot water for a bath in the morning and the top of the tap fell off in my hand. The food in the restaurant was adequate; I asked for pasta for my son, specifically not spaghetti....following which a bowl of spaghetti arrived. In the morning we were asked whether we'd had a good stay and we said it was cold in the room. Her response was "yes, a lot of people have said that".

"Uncomfortable, friendly service, 2 star room."
I stayed at this B&B for one night while attending Ashridge and I chose it due to its location 10 minutes away and the fact they had internet connection. As soon as I arrived I asked about wifi and I was told it might or might not work from my room, but I could get good signal at the "pub". First problem was the fact that the connection didn't work […] from the room. I had to find a chair at the entrance of the hotel to do some work but ended up going to the pub when I lost the little signal I was getting there as well. The bed was dreadful, i kept slipping to the side of the bed since the mattress was way past it's lifecycle. The shower had no pressure, possibly due to the fact that it was an electric shower. The toilet flushed through one of those contraptions that grinds everything to pass through the small tubes, which kept making all kinds of noises throughout the night. The service was very friendly and dinner was superb. I liked breakfast, it was plentyful and tasty. I won't be coming back, since my visits to the area need me to do some work on my computer and have a good night sleep, and this B&B isn't up to the task.

"Quaint, picturesque and worth the trip from LHR"
A quaint and pleasant country inn reasonably close to Heathrow. The food is, as Michelin used to say "worth a detour". The staff is courteous and eager to please. Aldbury is a nice english village. I would stay here again anytime I had a car.Дійсний відгук від користувача Expedia
"Friendly staff, good location & nice rooms"
We enjoyed our stay at the Greyhound Inn and it was perfectly located to explore the local area on foot and on bike. The staff at the pub were very friendly and breakfast was yummy. The room had all the facilities expected, it is a little dated but clean! so i would recommend it. Also had dinner at the pub and really enjoyed it.Дійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com
"Convenient for lots of varied persuits"
Althought the hotel rooms were comfortable, clean & quiet our stay was slightly marred by lovely duvets which were much too hot for the temperature. The room was also too hot. Just a sheet & light blanket would have helped to give a good nights' sleep,Дійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com

"Gem in a chocolate-box village close to main route"
Friendly welcome, clean and comfortable room, excellent restaurant. Unlucky to be in the only room where the hot water system failed, but the landlord did his level best to put this right - a room swap was impossible, as the accommodation was fully booked - he battled on for at least 3 hours. All was restored by the morning. The breakfast was cooked […] to order, and was fresh and hot. I would definitely stay there again, perhaps for longer.

"Reasonable Hotel"
Nice location, village pub with rooms, very busy bar / restaurant when I stayed. Standard of my room was reasonable, not fantastic, quite old fashioned but comfortable enough. Bathroom with bath but no shower. Food in my opinion a bit on the expensive side, - Breakfast very goodДійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com
Came here for the beautiful location, this is our second time at the greyhound and I remember the resturant attached to the pub was a lot better 2 years ago! Food not at pub prices quite expensive, I ordered smoked haddock which I felt had been cooked in the microwave with what I thought was frozen veg, not what you'd expect for £15! The menu does get […] you excited but didn't live up to it's expectations! Only other issue is that the shower trickles so takes you a while to get wet, but location is gorgeous and that's why we chose the greyhound! Читати даліДійсний відгук від користувача Hotels.com

text: Technical Abstract: The objectives of this seven-year study were to determine the effect of repeated root pruning and irrigation on peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) tree growth and soil water use. Root pruning began in the year of planting and was annually repeated to restrict the lateral spread of the root system. Peach trees trained to a free-standing 'Y' were root pruned at flowering from 1985-1988 and then at flowering and monthly through July from 1989-91. Irrigation treatments of none, full season, and during stage 111 of fruit growth were imposed on the root pruned and non-root pruned treatments in a split plot design. Root pruning limited soil water availability throughout most of the growing season when irrigation was withheld; however, when irrigation was applied there was no difference in soil water availability. Repeated root pruning could restrict the lateral spread of the root zone and the utilization of the soil resources, yet, on the deep soil of this site, restricting the lateral extent of the root zone did not reduce vegetative tree growth.

I've stayed at the Swanage Youth Hostel twice. It's clean, warm and secure. Typical youth hostel rooms, with bunk beds. Some rooms have 'skylight' windows - I had to climb on the bunk to open and close the window and blinds, so not ideal for someone who can't do that. Food is good quality, and again typical of a youth... More

Report This paper examines the primary taxpayer subsidies for the initial phase of Baltimore City's State Center, a project proposed to replace the current state facilities in mid-town Baltimore bordering Preston Street. Led by a public-private partnership, the project envisions a mixed-use complex containing state and private office space, retail and dining space, mixed-income housing, and a parking garage. The project has attracted significant attention as well as litigation due to its scope and expense. Lost in the debate, however, is a careful accounting of the project's potential cost to the public. In what follows, we estimate and report this cost.
9.28.10 MD Pension Fund has $3 Billion Underperformance. The Maryland state pension fund has significantly trailed the median investment returns of its peers to the tune of $3 billion over the last ten years. The substandard results may be the result of asset allocation decisions, manager investment selections, or both. Underperformance impacts taxpayers since the state must divert tax revenues toward larger fund contributions. The state's pension fund shortfall now stands at $15 billion, over two times the state's entire general obligation debt of $6.5 billion. Full Report

CHICAGO - The Western Illinois soccer team battled Big Ten opponent Wisconsin to a 0-0 tie in the opening game of the second annual Chicago South Loop Hotel UIC Soccer Classic on Friday night at Flames Field.
With their first tie of the season, the Fighting Leathernecks move to 2-3-1, while the Badgers are now 1-3-2.
"I think we improved; it looked like we knew what we were doing and we created some chances. We didn't give up any soft goals like we did last weekend, so I'm pretty pleased with our effort," head coach Dr. Eric Johnson said.
Sophomore keeper Yves Dietrich saved all four shots he faced to earn his second career shutout.
While neither team had great chances during regulation, each team had opportunities to score in the overtime period.
Early in the first overtime, Wisconsin's Anders Kristensen headed a corner kick towards the net, but Dietrich made a full extension diving stop to keep Western Illinois in the game.
In the second overtime period, senior Nathan Bruinsma headed a corner kick to freshman Austin Gochneaur who headed it towards the goal, but a Badger defender made a lunging save as keeper Chase Rau was at the other end of the net.
Rau, like Dietrich, saved all four shots on goal he faced.
The statistical categories were nearly identical, with the Leathernecks tallying 12 shots, four shots on goal and seven corner kicks compared to 13 shots, four shots on goal and six corners for Wisconsin.
Freshman Erick Bloom and junior Charlie Bales were well involved with the offense, recording four and three shots, respectively.
"[Ending up with] a tie on the road, we'll take it," Johnson added. "Wisconsin made us run and defensively we had to work, which was good."
Western Illinois will play its final game in the UIC Soccer Classic against host UIC on Sunday at 2 p.m. before opening conference play against Omaha next week.

Who doesn't like the idea of throwing ingredients into a slow cooker and coming back hours later to a finished meal? Too bad most slow cooker recipes deliver mediocre results you'd rather forget than fix again. A team of ten test cooks at America's Test Kitchen spent a year developing recipes, and what they discovered will change the way you use your slow cooker.
Did you know that onions, garlic, and spices should be bloomed in the microwave for five minutes before they go into the slow cooker? This simple step intensifies their flavor and requires no extra work. Did you know that a little soy sauce mixed with tomato paste adds meaty flavors to almost any stew and can often replace the tedious step of browning the meat? And do you know the secret to a moist slow-cooker chicken? Start the bird upside down to protect the delicate white meat from drying out.
The 200 recipes in this family-friendly collection deliver a revolution in slow cooking like only America's Test Kitchen can!

registry settings, so that you can submit the log to someone that can make heads or tails of the
information contained in it and thereby help someone to repair a computer.
I've always dreaded reading system logs. Not anymore, as this makes reading one a joy.
It's actually 2 programs.
_SysInfoLog.au3 - This program generates the log of a PC.
_SysInfoLogViewer.au3 - This program is the log viewer.
As you will notice, I used alot of the code thats in GetCommonstartups to make them.
But these are geared to collect the information on one PC and view it on another.
Because of redirection issues between 64bit Os's, the programs will have to be compiled
64bit if used on a 64bit machine and 32bit on a 32bit machine.
(I won't use "disable redirection" along with WMI in a script anymore -- been there, done that)
For the most part, the viewer looks just like GetCommonstartups, but without the teeth and not "live".
You will need a good understanding of registry values to interpret "Registry Settings".
The keys and values are enumerated whether they exist or not. This is because the program is
geared for trouble-shooting a PC.
Some keys are meant to be missing. Some values are meant to be blank. Some L@@K good, but are bad. And so on.
If you don't know, you can do a comparison on another machine of the "same OS" or find out from someone who does.
