| Have tried start up repair half a dozen times still no luck, the system still shows bootmgr is corrupt system cannot boot, there is also no other devices plugged in besides the keyboard/mouse and the internal components, no other drives attached. I am hesitant to do a fresh install as I have done that already only to have this happen again. Just another thing, this problem has only come up when I have installed a program or something that requires a re boot, as soon as I do that I have the bootmgr problem. I'm still unable to get onto the system no matter how many Ike's I have tried start up repair. Any further help would be greatly appreciated, thanks again |

Nothing harder than we currently do...if not slightly easier. The 5.45am Mon/Fri rides are a smaller bunch of forum members who are running a sane version of the insane 6am NRR.
Though I am tempted to run a 6:30am version that starts at South Road just because I hate waking up so early to essentially go to work. If there's any interest in such an idea...I might throw it out there...the 6:30am start for a "SRR" would get us in to town around 7:30am to 7:40am via Mordialloc.

Re: Burpee Plants? I have ordered lots of plants from Burpee, and had good results. I ordered one set from another company once, and was shocked at how small and spindly they were. I've ordered "Big Mama" roma tomatoes every year for three years with great success. Also tried the "Supersauce" tomatoes this year. One of three died, but the other two are doing great. Have ordered peppers in the past as well. The only trouble I ever had was my first set of yellow tomatoes--all the stems broke when I opened the package. Burpee gracefully replaced them, only to have the same thing happen, then refunded my money. I won't by from any other mail-order company. I do buy small herbs locally so I don't have to pay for shipping, but they don't have sauce tomatoes. My plants are usually 6-8" tall on arrival, and bushy. They occasionally arrive a bit wilted, but I follow the instructions, and keep them on the kitchen counter out of direct sun until they recover in a day or two. I harden them off for a few days, and out they go. |
Re: Burpee Plants? I usually have way better luck with seeds then anything from Burpee. I do like the Burpee Walla Walla sets. I prefer the Burpee Walla Walla's. They taste the best and usually are the best growing. But, two years ago, I order my Walla Walla sets, lik eusual, and never received them. So, I wrote Burpee and complained, and they sent me yellow Onion sets, but they sure wern't Walla Walla's. I told myself, I will get burnt once, but the second time, shame on them. So, the counter is going for me. I love my onions, and if they cant get that right, forget it. I have order Blueberries from Burpee, and those plants were awesome. I have gotten burnt by many nursiers, so I guess all in all, Burpee is probably the best of them all. FOR live plants. Burpee seed department rocks. Never had a problem with a seed order. I live close to an awesome geenhouse that seels a flat of live plants for 11$. There is no way they can be beat. They have tomato's and practicaly anything else you can think of started. Even melons of various varieties. |
Re: Burpee Plants? We are sorry to hear about you experience. If you can contact our customer service at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1800-800-1447 so we may resolve this situation for you. |

Meet the Press[5][6] is a weekly American television news/interview program airing on NBC. It is the longest-running television series in American broadcasting history, despite bearing little resemblance to the original format of the program seen in its television debut on November 6, 1947.[7] Under host Tim Russert, Meet the Press was the highest-rated of the American television Sunday morning talk shows in 2006.[8] As of the end of 2013, it was struggling in the ratings and ranked third, with NBC management uncertain as to the future direction of the series.[9]
It has been hosted by 11 moderators, beginning with Martha Rountree. The current host is David Gregory, who assumed the role in December 2008. The show began using a new set on May 2, 2010, with video screens and a library-style set with bookshelves, and different, modified intro music, with David Gregory previewing the guests using a large video screen, and with the Meet the Press theme music in a shorter "modernized [style]... the beginning repeated with drum beats" (see "High-definition broadcasting" below for additional information).[10] Meet the Press and similar shows specialize in interviewing national leaders on issues of politics, economics, foreign policy and other public affairs.
Over the past few years, the program's usual time slot over the NBC network is between 9-10 a.m. local time in most markets, though this may vary by markets due to commitments by affiliates to religious, E/I or local news, paid, and public affairs programming. It also varies several weeks in the summer due to morning coverage of French Open tennis or the Monaco Grand Prix by NBC Sports. In earlier years, the program would air at noon every Sunday. The program also re-airs Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. ET and early Monday mornings at 4 a.m. ET on MSNBC (and also over the audio simulcast of MSNBC on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio), along with an early Monday morning replay as part of NBC's "All Night" lineup. The program is also distributed to radio stations via syndication by Dial Global, and aired as part of C-SPAN Radio's replay of the Sunday morning talk shows.
The longevity of Meet the Press is illustrated when one considers that the program debuted during what was only the second official "network television season" for American television.
This section requires expansion. (June 2008) |
The show's format consists of an extended one-on-one interview with the host and is sometimes followed by a roundtable discussion or one-on-two interview with figures in adversarial positions, either Congress members from opposite sides of the aisle or political commentators. Originally a half-hour program for most of its history, the show expanded to 60 minutes starting with the September 20, 1992 broadcast.[11]
Occasionally, a final segment called "The Meet the Press Minute" airs. It is devoted to topical clips from the show's extensive archives.
Meet the Press originates on NBC in the United States, with additional telecasts on various other NBCUniversal channels, including MSNBC in the U.S. and Canada, CNBC Europe in Europe, and CNBC Asia in Asia. It is also broadcast in Australia on the Seven Network.
Meet the Press is also available as an audio or video podcast,[12] and is simulcast on radio stations by Dial Global (which also handles distribution of all other NBC-produced radio programming, including NBC News Radio).[13]
The following is the list of moderators for Meet the Press:[1]
Martha Rountree | 1947–1953 |
Ned Brooks | 1953–1965 |
Lawrence E. Spivak | 1966–1975 |
Bill Monroe | 1975–1984 |
Roger Mudd & Marvin Kalb (co-moderators) |
1984–1985 |
Marvin Kalb | 1985–1987 |
Chris Wallace | 1987–1988 |
Garrick Utley | 1989–1991 |
Tim Russert | 1991–2008 |
Tom Brokaw | 2008 |
David Gregory | 2008–present |
Meet the Press began on radio in 1945 as American Mercury Presents: Meet the Press,[14] a program to promote The American Mercury, a magazine that Lawrence E. Spivak had purchased in 1939. Before the program aired, Spivak asked the journalist Martha Rountree, who had worked in radio and had worked for Spivak as a roving editor for the magazine, to critique the plans for the new radio show. Based on her advice, Rountree created a new radio program that she called The American Mercury, on October 5, 1945.[2]
On November 6, 1947, while still on the Mutual Broadcasting System, the show was subsequently reincarnated on the NBC television network and the title shortened to simply Meet the Press. The radio version also adopted the new name. Although some sources credit Spivak with the program's creation,[1][15] Rountree developed the idea on her own, and Spivak joined as co-producer and business partner in the enterprise after the show had already debuted.[2]
Meet the Press was originally presented as a 30-minute press conference with a single guest and a panel of questioners. Its first guest was James Farley, who served as Postmaster General, Democratic National Committee Chairman, and campaign manager to Franklin Delano Roosevelt under the first two terms of the New Deal Administration. Its first host was its creator Martha Rountree, the program's only female moderator to date. She stepped down on November 1, 1953, and was replaced by Ned Brooks, who remained as moderator until December 26, 1965. Spivak became the moderator on January 1, 1966, moving from his role as a permanent panelist. He retired on November 9, 1975, and was replaced by Bill Monroe, who stepped down on June 2, 1984.
The program then went through a series of hosts as it struggled in the ratings against ABC's This Week with David Brinkley. Roger Mudd and Marvin Kalb (as co-moderators) followed Monroe for a year, followed by Chris Wallace (who would later to go on to a much longer run as host of the rival program Fox News Sunday) from 1987 to 1988. Garrick Utley, then hosting Weekend Today, concurrently hosted Meet the Press from 1989 through December 1, 1991.
Under Russert[edit]
Network officials, concerned for the show's future, turned to Tim Russert, the network's Washington D.C. bureau chief. He took over on December 8, 1991, and remained until his death on June 13, 2008, serving as moderator longer than anyone else in the program's history.[16]
Under Russert, the show was expanded to one hour and became less of a televised press conference and more focused on Russert's questions and comments, with longer interviews and with Russert hosting panels of experts. Russert signed off by saying, "That's all for today. We'll be back next week. If it's Sunday, it's Meet the Press." Current host David Gregory uses the same sign-off.
During the football season, Russert, a native of Buffalo, New York and an avid Buffalo Bills fan,[17][18] sometimes added, "Go Bills!", and occasionally would ask panelists, "How 'bout those Sabres?" if the Buffalo NHL hockey team was doing well. Spoofs of the show on Saturday Night Live often reflect this addition.
Russert died on June 13, 2008 of a sudden coronary thrombosis (caused by a cholesterol plaque rupture). Former NBC Nightly News anchor and current special correspondent Tom Brokaw hosted a special edition of Meet the Press dedicated to the life of Russert on June 15, 2008, in which Tim Russert's chair was left empty, as a tribute.
Guest moderators[edit]
- Andrea Mitchell (August 15, 2004)[19]
After Russert[edit]
Mark Whitaker was named the Washington D.C. Bureau Chief and was given "executive oversight" of Meet the Press.
Interim Brokaw era[edit]
NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams acted as moderator of the first show back after the June 15 memorial broadcast, with the same guests and subject matter that Russert was planning for when he died.[20]
Following Russert's death, Tom Brokaw was named the interim moderator through the 2008 general elections.[21] Brokaw followed Russert's tradition by signing off with "We'll be back next Sunday because if it's Sunday, it's Meet the Press." In September of that year, the show was presented with limited commercials.
On August 10, David Gregory moderated the panel discussion during the second half-hour of the broadcast while Brokaw anchored the first half-hour from the Olympics in Beijing. The following week on August 17, he moderated the entire show. It was also reported on December 1, 2008, that the December 7 broadcast would be Brokaw's last, with David Gregory taking over full-time the following Sunday.[22]
Under Gregory[edit]
David Gregory began his tenure as moderator on December 14, 2008. On December 18, 2008, NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd was named Contributing Editor of Meet the Press. Under Gregory's tenure as moderator, Meet the Press has significantly decline in ratings since 2008. In the final three months of 2013, the program came in third place for total viewers behind CBS's Face The Nation and ABC's This Week for the first time since 1992 and experienced the lowest ratings in the show's entire history among the key 25 to 54 viewing demographic.[23]
High-definition broadcasting[edit]
The set utilized from 1997 to 2010 had been designed as an experimental set for high-definition broadcasting and several editions of the series (including the first broadcast of a regular series on a major television network in HD) had aired in the format in the 1990s over experimental HD station WHD-TV in Washington.[24] Despite this, the show remained in 480i standard definition television over the NBC network itself. On May 2, 2010 the show became the last NBC News program to convert to HD, and unveiled a new set consisting of large video screens mostly used to display Washington scenery, satellite interview subjects and moderator and subject talking points, along with graphics made for the format.[25]

+1 tho' if it's painted the special give-way-to-cyclists colour (depends on state/territory) what then?
I used to ride straight through a single lane roundabout, good visibility, when clear could straight-line it safely.
Now bike lane goes around it, and I'd crash using it at my previously safe speed. Arguably, I don't need to use it as its not safe for me.
Result, I don't go that way any more.
Ain't no such thing as "the special give-way-to-cyclists colour". Sure the colouring usually indicates that the lane is a bike lane but the colouring itself has no legal standing. A bike lane is defined by signs at the roadside - all other markings are an aid to identifying the area referred to by the signs.
In a single lane roundabout the rule for all vehicles is that you must give way to any vehicle already in the roundabout (that does NOT automatically translate into "give way to the right" despite popular belief) and you can take any exit as it comes up.
In a multi-lane roundabout the same give way to vehicles on the roundabout applies but the left lane can only be used to make a left turn or go straight (you must take the first or second exit). If you want to go past the second exit you must be in an outer lane and it is legal to take the third or subsequent exit from that outer lane (because anybody inside you SHOULD also be taking that exit in theory).
For cyclists with a painted lane the whole picture is complicated because, single or multi lane roundabout, a cyclist in one of those lanes is permitted to go as far around the circle as they like while still travelling at the extreme left - the position from which all other vehicles are supposed to exit. So, to avoid collisions between right turning cyclists and left exiting motor vehicles, cyclists must give way before crossing the exit lane thereby blocking the following cyclists trying to exit at the same point.
Roundabout cycle lanes are, IMHO, far more dangerous than riding in the standard traffic lane. They confuse everybody. The only possible beneficiary I can see is a cyclist wishing to take the first exit who SHOULD, in that case, have a dedicated lane with no motor traffic conflict.

For amateur and professional photographers alike, there's nothing more frustrating then when you're about to get a great shot with your digital camera and when you push the shutter and nothing happens. Replacing the battery only takes a couple of minutes and helps insure that you capture your next shot
- Watch the meter. Many digital cameras have a small battery icon that appears on the LCD screen. Keeping an eye on this helps you know when it's time to change the battery
- Examine the batteries. You can do this by either taking the batteries that are already in the camera out, or by looking through the owner's manual to your camera and reading to find out what kind of battery your camera requires. Some cameras take common battery types, like AAA or AA, and others take model specific lithium-ion batteries
- Make a trip to the store. Check out the electronics department for less common battery types. More common types should be available almost anywhere: drug stores, discount stores and convenience stores
- Turn off your camera and replace the battery. Many cameras have a sticker on the inside with a diagram that shows you which way to put the batteries in
- Close the battery compartment and turn your camera back on
Tips & Warnings
- Some batteries are rechargeable. Cameras that come with lithium-ion batteries also have a power cord that will recharge the battery. If your camera has this type of battery, you can recharge it many times before needing to replace it
- Consider investing in rechargeable batteries if your digital camera takes a common type of battery. The initial cost is more than it would be for disposable batteries, but over time you will save money. Getting two sets is a great idea, because then one set can charge while the other is in your camera
How to Extend The Battery Life of Your Digital Camera
Today, the digital camera is being used more and more by the average person and the analog film camera is rarely used these days. The digital camera also has many more functions that are controlled electronically
- Electronic Control Means Battery Power Consumption: True, the older analog film cameras used batteries for a few camera functions which included the flash, motorized film advance and sometimes the electronic control of shutter speeds. The modern digital camera uses battery power for many functions including telephoto lens functions, the LCD viewer display and of course the flash. Some digital cameras will retract the lens to its home position after the photo session is done and the user is just viewing the photos that were shot. This is a great power saving feature. The user can incorporate some personal power saving procedures that can even double battery life of any given type of battery. Probably the simplest approach to saving battery power is to plan your photo session and try to preset the camera function settings in advance if this is at all possible. My personal battery saving approach is to shoot my photos using the "available light" method. Sometimes this creates slight movement of the image due to slower shutter speeds either auto or manual but the natural rendition of the image will far outweigh this shortcoming. Available light photography is a totally separate branch of this art
- Using The Right Battery Type Is The Key To An Uninterrupted Photo Session: Many camera users do not realize that some batteries available will provide much greater use between recharge or replacement. Using Alkaline batteries are the last resort, though without question they are the least expensive. They should only be used as backup when either (NiMh) or (Li-Ion) run out of power and will give you the least amount of camera session use. The (Ni-Cd) can be used but they must be fully discharged before recharging because of their "memory effect". One must keep in mind that the (Li-ion) is the latest in battery technology and will deliver more energy after being fully charged than (Ni-Mh) technology. Both (Li-Ion) and (NiMh) batteries do not suffer the "memory effect" plagued by the older (Ni-Cd)
- As far as which to choose between Nickel Metal Halide and Lithium Ion is mostly a matter of cost. The Lithium Ion battery is more expensive than the Nickel Metal Halide battery. They both can be recharged before being fully discharged and do not suffer from "memory effect" characteristics which is a loss in the specified total capacity of a battery which is encountered every time the battery is recharged
- Today, the digital camera is being used more and more by the average person and the analog film camera is rarely used these days. The digital camera also has many more functions that are controlled electronically
Tips & Warnings
- Always carry an extra set of batteries for your camera
- It could save you a loss of a prize winning photo

- How many times can I recharge my rechargeable battery?
Under ISO standard conditions, in general rechargeable batteries can be charged about 500 times. This is dependent on operating conditions and specifications of devices.
- What is Memory Effect of a rechargeable battery?
It is the temporary voltage depletion caused by charging and discharging the battery without it first being fully discharged, thus resulting in the poor performance of your battery.
- How long do I charge my digital camera battery?
Just checked another charger and the red light indicates that the batteries are charging and green light shows when the batteries are finished and charged. Camera reports batteries low, but is it low charge or bad electrical contacts? Overcharging can ruin good batteries! Do not know what type charger you have, but you would be well served to buy an Energizer Compact Smart Charger with safety timer, temperature monitor and trickle charge technology for $9.76 at Walmart. NiMH batteries will discharge in two weeks when not used. Old batteries can discharge over night, but may provide near normal service if used immediately after being charged. Battery pairs that can no longer be used in cameras may work well in flashlights. The secret to making digital cameras work better is having good electrical contacts between batteries and camera. CAUTION Do not overcharge ... batteries can be severely damaged. The time required to charge batteries depends on the state of charge and the charge rate. The smart thing to do is get a smart charger because you can easily ruin your batteries.

Newberry and Williams Debate the Paducah - McCracken County Merger on WKMS
Local voters will decide next month whether to move forward with a Paducah and McCracken County government merger. WKMS News held a debate this morning with two men on either side of the issue. Speaking for the measure was Paducah businessman John Williams Jr., and against it, McCracken County Judge Executive Van Newberry. Williams says bigger is better when it comes to getting support for the area. He says,
"It would move us from the 15th and falling town in the Commonwealth to number 3 and rising. It would make us one of three communities of our size of this structure. It would put us in a position that is progressive and more or less getting the attention of those that could be bringing those jobs."
But Newberry disputes this claim. He says,
"I'm not sure how you can say 'third and rising.' It may be third in population if you claim population all the way to Ballard County and Graves County and Marshall County but there's no belief that I've seen, or no facts that show the county would continue to grow..."
Newberry says studies show that when governments merge, there's often a slowdown that follows. Williams and Newberry also discussed taxes, business development, and employment during the debate. Hear the full debate by clicking the "Listen" button above.

I think Anne is a good actress, but I've never been blown away by her in anything yet. She seems pleasant though, and this moment will forever make me
That is hilarious.
"Puccini cries out for spirals, but really good ones." ~ Dick Button, 1998 Worlds
If nothing else it would have provided the Fashion Police the opportunity to do an Oscar edition of "B*itch Stole My Look!"
Count me as another one that doesn't get all the Anne hate. I can understand being tired of her, at least in wanting to get this awards season over with, and her seeming desperation to get that Oscar, but name me one Hollywood starlet that wouldn't do the same thing if given the opportunity. I think it was Tom and Lorenzo that termed it "the Oscar pole-dance" and it's as good a definition as I've heard. I still like her a lot, I just need her to step away from the spotlight for a length of time.
Go on a long vacation, work on some independent projects, try for a baby (a baby always redeems you in the eyes of the "public" unless you're a Kardashian). Just don't be on everyone's tv acting desperate.
I was looking at all the dresses/gowns worn at the most recent Oscars. The only one I could wear is the one worn by Sally Field. I am too small to even try on Melissa McCarthy's. I cannot imagine fitting into any of the others.
You know, for years I respected Jodie Foster for keeping her private life private, not confirming her sexual orientation and so on. I even respected her for standing by her friend Mel Gibson even if I think he is dbag nutcase.
And then came her speech at the Golden Globes and it was clear that she does really care and it's been driving her crazy all these years and she is now, in fact, somewhat obsessed with what is and isn't private. It's one thing to be a little needy and calculated, which is I think how Hathaway's been coming off, and another to tell the world you're desperately lonely.
What a terrible life those women have. I don't understand why anyone really wants to be them, not one bit.

Eh, give me the $$$ they're raking in, and I'll gladly switch places with their "miserable" lives.What a terrible life those women have. I don't understand why anyone really wants to be them, not one bit.
I'll take the $$$ but not the fame and the constant exposure.

Well I could but I think it would break down into a big argument about how much they do and don't care or why this or that one is some sort of exception so they don't count (as you've already done with Helen Bonham Carter.) Plus the ones who don't care as much don't get into public kerfluffles so it's hard to remember them.
But I think about the time JLo wore that turquoise number to an awards show that let it all hang out and got a lot of flack for it in the press and she kind of shrugged and didn't seem to change her look going forward and this year she even made a joke about it. And when I first wrote it, I was thinking about Helen Bonham Carter and a couple of the younger actresses who liked to dress edgy or funky.
Besides, you can't convince me that that all actresses are equally insecure or all obsess to about winning awards to the exact same degree. They are people and they are bound to have different approaches and feelings about these subjects.
I don't think it's all over a dress. I think Anne just rubs some people the wrong way.
Well I wouldn't. I like having the degree of fame that I have (which is hardly any compared to famous people, but slightly more than the average person in my position).
Delete. Wrong Thread.
But did Foster always care or is she now caring in her old age? Also, I never thought of Foster as one who was at primarily at peace with herself. If she was, she wouldn't have been so coy about her sexuality all these years.
Then again, maybe she was just hopped up on prescription meds?
Delete. Wrong Thread.
I think a lot of actors and actresses had spoken while high on one thing or another over the years at Oscars. And James Franco made history actually hosting while high. I just can't believe he is naturally that
