| Hello gee9043, Welcome to Seven Forums. The problem is that you detached the XP drive when you installed 7. As a result 7 didn't find a boot loader and created it's own on the 7 drive. You may be able to fix it with 'Easy BCD'. You can find a link here: FREE Great Programs for Windows 7 If you boot into 7 with both drives attached, you should be able to add XP to the boot menu so you get the choices during boot. Hope this helps. Gary |

SummaryMaturation of the bacteriophage HK97 capsid from a precursor (Prohead II) to the mature state (Head II) involves a 60 Å radial expansion. The mature particle is formed by 420 copies of the major capsid protein organized on a T = 7 laevo lattice with each subunit covalently crosslinked to two neighbors. Well-characterized pH 4 expansion intermediates make HK97 valuable for investigating quaternary structural dynamics. Here, we use X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM to demonstrate that in the final transition in maturation (requiring neutral pH), pentons in Expansion Intermediate IV (EI-IV) reversibly sample 14 Å translations and 6° rotations relative to a fixed hexon lattice. The limit of this trajectory corresponds to the Head II conformation that is secured at this extent only by the formation of the final class of covalent crosslinks. Mutants that cannot crosslink or EI-IV particles that have been rendered incapable of forming the final crosslink remain in the EI-IV state.

SummaryBacteriophage HK97 maturation involves discrete intermediate particle forms, comparable to transitional states in protein folding, before reaching its mature form. The process starts by formation of a metastable prohead, poised for exothermic expansion triggered by DNA packaging. During maturation, the capsid subunit transitions from a strained to a canonical tertiary conformation and this has been postulated to be the driving mechanism for initiating expansion via switching hexameric capsomer architecture from skewed to 6-fold symmetric. We report the subnanometer electron-cryomicroscopy reconstruction of the HK97 first expansion intermediate before any crosslink formation. This form displays 6-fold symmetric hexamers, but capsid subunit tertiary structures exhibit distortions comparable to the prohead forms. We propose that coat subunit strain release acts in synergy with the first crosslinks to drive forward maturation. Finally, we speculate that the energetic features of this transition may result from increased stability of intermediates during maturation via enhanced inter-subunit interactions.

SummaryRadical structural changes drive the maturation of the capsid of HK97, a λ-like, dsDNA bacteriophage of Escherichia coli. These include expansion from ∼560 to ∼660 Å in diameter, metamorphosis from a round to an angular shape, and formation of covalent crosslinks between adjacent capsomers. Analogous transformations also occur in unrelated viruses and protein complexes. We find that expansion and crosslinking happen concurrently during maturation at low pH. Expansion causes residues on three different subunits to move up to 35 Å to form 420 active sites that each catalyze the formation of a lysine-asparagine crosslink between adjacent subunits, making crosslink formation an indirect reporter of structural change. Intermediate crosslinking patterns support a previously proposed model of expansion, while hydrophobic properties aid in distinguishing discrete intermediates. A structure derived from cryo-EM images reveals the free intermediate conformation of penton arms, supporting our model for coordinated movement of hexons and pentons on the capsid lattice.

- The capsids of tailed-DNA bacteriophages first assemble as procapsids, which mature by converting into a new form that is strong enough to contain a densely packed viral chromosome. We demonstrate that the intersubunit crosslinking that occurs during maturation of HK97 capsids actually promotes the structural transformation. Small-angle X-ray scattering and crosslinking assays reveal that a shift in the crosslink pattern accompanies conversion of a semimature particle, Expansion Intermediate-I/II, to a more mature state, Balloon. This transition occurs in a switch-like fashion. We find that crosslink formation shifts the global conformational balance to favor the balloon state. A pseudoatomic model of EI-I/II derived from cryo-EM provides insight into the relationship between crosslink formation and conformational switching.

MOSCOW, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Two Russian companies, fertilizer firm Phosagro and gas producer Novatek, may start road shows for possible Eurobond issues this week, four banking sources told Reuters on Monday.
'(Phosagro) Meetings with investors from Switzerland, London and the United States may start by the end of this week,' one of the sources said.
The company has been mulling the issue since late last year, when the world's second-largest phosphate producer decided to not proceed with a share sale due to poor market conditions.
Phosagro, which previously targeted a Eurobond issue to raise between $400 million and $500 million, declined to comment.
Two other sources said Novatek, Russia's largest independent gas producer, also planned a rouble-denominated Eurobond road show between Jan. 29 and 30 in London and New York to test market appetite for a possible rouble-denominated issue.
Reuters could not reach Novatek for an immediate comment.

"If happiness had a form, what would it look like? It might be something like glass, because one doesn't notice it normally. However, it is actually there. As proof, if you look at it from a different angle, the glass will reflect light. It will state it's presence and existence more eloquently than any other thing in this world."

My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all.
Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you, and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly,
but its much better to be killed by a lover.
Falsely yours,
Henry Charles Bukowski
When dancing, lost in techo trance, arms flailing, gawky Bez, then find you snagged on frowns, and slowly it dawns, you're jazzing to the bleep tone of a life support machine that marks the steady fading of your day old baby daughter. And when midnight sirens lead to blue flash road mash, stretchers, covered heads and slippy red macadam, and find you creeping 'neath the blankets, to snuggle close a mangle bird, hoping you soon too will be freezer drawed. Then welcome. Mmm, ooh chemotherapy wig. Welcome. In Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam, Jaaaaam.

The wine is a light yellow with yellow straw reflections. The disk is bright and limpid. The nose is open with autumn fruit flavors (quince, baked apples). Airing reveals honeyed and crystallized notes. The onset in the mouth is ample but remains fresh. In the middle mouth, a little bit of roundness delicately supported by the acidity of the wine is present.
Domaines Schlumberger only harvests grapes from their own vineyards and are entirely dedicated to quality, which is achieved through deliberately producing very restricted yields per hectare.
The planting and judicious choice of grape varieties, pruning the vines, constantly surveying the grapes as they ripen, and the precious care that they are given enable a strict selection to be made during harvesting. Each plot, or even each bunch of grapes, will only be picked if it is completely ripe.

Recipe by Beverley
"No ice cream maker is needed for this sherbet made with orange juice and evaporated milk. Enjoy!"
Watch video tips and tricks
3/4 cup orange juice
3/4 cup white sugar
1 cup cold milk
1 (5 ounce) can very cold evaporated milk
I loved this recipe! I tried to cut back on the canned milk because of other reviews and it was a bit strong. I only made three changes to the recipe . . . I added 1-2 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp vanilla. To get a smooth flavor more like fruity ice cream place the pre-canned milk mix in your freezer in a tubbaware bowl and stir it about every 45 minutes. When it seems a bit more firm (about 2 hrs) add the canned milk (only 4-5oz!) and let set overnight. Break it up in the morning and mix in a blender or stand mixer till smooth (the more air you get into the mix the lighter the end product will be) Then place back in the freezer to firm up again. Note: You can use strained watermelon, mango, grapes, or any fruit or mix to create your own favorites with this recipe.
Tastes more like creamsicle than orange sherbet. I put all ingredients in my ice cream freezer, and it came out like thick soft serve. Not a lot of orange flavor, doesn't taste like the store bought stuff at all.

We could taste more of the evaporated milk flavor than the orange flavor. Not very good at all.
Easy recipe. Pretty good, but would for myself add more orange juice and less condensed milk.
Very simple to make and my children really enjoyed it. I found it took longer to make than the recipe said and it tastes more like an orange popsicle with vanilla ice cream inside. Still, a keeper for it's simple ingredients and ease.
I agree that there's too much evaporated milk and too little orange flavor. While I had the original orange part out of the freezer beating it, I took a taste of that and it was pretty good, so I had high hopes. I was disappointed with how the evaporated milk changed it so much. I will try experimenting and see if I can work this into something more orangy and less creamy. It was pretty easy, and I love orange, so there's at least a good basis here. UPDATE: A long time later and I decided to do something with this. I didn't want to get too drastic at first, so I increased the orange juice to 1 cup and then added 1 T of concentrate to give it more orange flavor. I had 3 oz. evaporated milk left over from something else, so I just tried the 3 oz. It was definitely much better and closer to sherbet. But it could still use a bit more orange. There's still something off about the consistency and I'm not sure how to fix that. With these changes I might call this a 4. (However, the *recipe* is still a 2.)
This became an instant hit with my husband. My daughter had fun making it with me, but didn't like having to wait so long...it took most of the day to get done. The taste was great but my daughter was disappointed that it wasn't very orange in color. I will definately be making this again and maybe I will try some of the changes that other made to experiment a bit.
The milk flavor was overwhelming. It didn't taste like sherbet at all. A waste of time and money. I followed the directions exactly.

359,343 Lighting Products
Although picking a light fixture might seem like a pretty standard task, today's options make this once-easy decision more complicated. If you're looking for your kitchen, you now have to decide: pendant or chandelier? Track light or wall sconce? Cabinet or recessed lights? No matter how mundane it might seem, picking the right illumination is important. Some fixtures cover very little ground and provide more of an ambient glow, while others shine from one corner of the room to another. Choosing the wrong fixture can lead to a poorly lit room or even an overly lit, washed-out space. Because of this, be sure to consider all the options below before taking your next lighting plunge.

- On the calling notice for the event always ensure that you ask whether participants need any reasonable adjustments, eg large print documentation, sign language interpretation. The standard question used on forms should be:
Do you regard yourself as a person with a disability? Yes/No
If yes, please state your access requirements or any reasonable adjustments we can make in order that we can meet your access needs. - The calling notice should also include a sentence along the lines of: "All access needs will be met where reasonably practicable."
- Consider including a deadline for access requirements in order to give yourself sufficient time to organise the needs. For example, sign language interpreters may need several weeks notice, or it may take some time converting text to Braille if that is the requirement.
- Ensure that you include support workers, sign language interpreters etc in your catering arrangements.
- When notifying participants of their place on the event, ensure that you include accessibility information for the venue.
- If using speakers, ensure that their presentations are accessible (eg not speaking too fast for sign language interpreters, or simple, uncluttered PowerPoint slides). Remember that you may need to get accessible versions of presentations beforehand.
- If using name badges for the event, ensure that they use large font and are clear.
- Include advice to participants on public transport to the venue, including accessible trains/tubes/buses and taxis.
- If disabled participants drive to the venue, ensure that there are reserved car parking spaces either at or very near the venue.
- Ensure that pathways and walkways to the venue have level access or ramps.
The venue
- If possible, it is good practice to check out venues yourself rather than rely on general assurances.
- Check whether doorways are wide enough for wheelchair users and that doors are not too heavy to open.
- Check whether the reception area is accessible: is the reception desk at an appropriate height for wheelchair users; is the signage clear; if there are mats near the doorway are they flush with the floor; is there someone available to help/guide disabled participants?
- Where possible, only use meeting facilities on the ground floor. If this is not possible, ensure that there are accessible lifts for wheelchair users and those with visual impairments, eg the width of the doors and the lift itself, height of controls, sound and visual information, embossed control buttons.
- Ensure there are adequate accessible toilet facilities.
- Ensure that there is level or ramped access to the venue itself and to meeting rooms, rooms where refreshments are provided and accessible toilet facilities.
- Check whether handrails are provided on ramps and stairs. Where there are stairs, steps and glass doors check that they are adequately marked to assist those with visual impairments.
- Consider the seating arrangements of the conference/meeting room, eg sufficient space to allow for free and safe movement; a clear line of sight for those who use sign language interpreters; space for wheelchairs or personal assistants.
- Check whether there are induction loops in all the rooms you will be using, and that they are working. If the venue does not have induction loops, you can hire portable ones.
- Check whether there are steps/ramps to lecterns and are they at suitable heights, are the microphones accessible?
- If more than one meeting room is being used at the venue, ensure that they are reasonably close together so that those with mobility impairments can easily access them.
- Ensure that the venue and meeting rooms have appropriate lighting for those with visual impairments.
- Ensure that there are regular breaks scheduled in the event.
- Check whether participants may need assistance with refreshments, eg seating arrangements. If it is self-service those with mobility impairments may need assistance with carrying, and if so will there be any staff available to help?
- Check whether the catering arrangements are suitable for particular dietary requirements.
- If a participant has a guide or hearing dog, ensure that there are suitable refreshments for the dog.
- Ensure that the venue's emergency procedures take account of disabled people (visual and audible fire alarms for example). Also ensure that the event's organiser and chair are aware of emergency and evacuation procedures and that this is communicated to participants at the start of the event.
- Ensure that those running the event, as well as staff at the venue itself, are aware of participants' needs.
Residential accommodation
- Does the hotel or venue have enough accessible rooms?
- Are room controls and furniture set at appropriate heights?
- Are the bathroom facilities adequate for your participants' needs?
- Check that the room and bathroom are equipped with alarms.
- Check whether there are textphone facilities available in the rooms.
- Check that the hotel can accommodate guide dogs.

OTTAWA — An Ontario court judge has lifted an order that prevented publication of the names of six Conservative party political staffers who alleged that former campaign worker Michael Sona claimed credit for the Guelph robocalls in the 2011 election.
At the request of the Ottawa Citizen, supported by two other media organizations, Judge Celynne Dorval agreed to remove the ban that was placed on a sworn statement filed in May by Elections Canada investigator Allan Mathews.
The statement, called an Information to Obtain a production order (ITO), detailed interviews Mathews conducted with the six staff, who had all worked for Conservative MPs or senators, in March 2012 — after the robocalls story broke.
The Crown had claimed the witnesses were concerned that they could lose their jobs if their names were publicized in connection with the politically charged robocalls case.
Dorval said while she agreed there is a need to protect the privacy of witnesses, there was no evidence they were concerned about their employment or, as the Crown had also claimed, of harassment.
There is a real risk that witnesses will be deterred from coming forward because of publicity, Dorval said, but that isn't sufficient to support a ban.
"This is true of any investigation into significant offences, but the fear of publicity is not isolated to the pre-trial process but to the entire process, including the trial," she wrote.
She noted that the names of the witnesses would be revealed should the case against Sona to go to trial.
After Dorval's decision was handed down Friday morning, Ottawa Citizen lawyer Richard Dearden — who conducted the cross-examination of Mathews in Wednesday's hearing before Dorval — said "the publication of the allegations made by the six Conservative Party staffers shines light on the issue of the independence of this investigation which is a matter of public interest."
In these interviews, Mathews said the witnesses described conversations they had with Sona in the weeks after the 2011 election about automated calls that directed voters to the wrong polling locations.
According to the witnesses, Sona admitted participation in a scheme that sounded remarkably similar to media reports about the Guelph robocall, which investigators had traced to someone using pseudonym "Pierre Poutine."
The staffers named in the ITO are:
• Rebecca Dockstaeder: Worked for Conservative MPs Chris Warkentin and Rod Bruinooge. She now uses her married name, Rebecca Carleton.
• John Schudlo: Currently works as a special assistant to Warkentin.
• Mitchell Messom: Worked for Conservative MPs Rob Moore, Steven Fletcher and Conservative Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen. He now lives in Nova Scotia.
• Tyler Barker: Worked for Stewart Olsen
• Benjamin Hicks: Worked in the Prime Minister's Office but had left Ottawa when he was interviewed by Mathews. Now lives in New Brunswick.
• Conrad Johnson: Worked for late Conservative Sen. Doug Finley and, later, as assistant at the Ottawa office of law firm Fasken Martineau with former PMO chief of staff Guy Giorno.
Sona was director of communication on the unsuccessful campaign of Guelph Conservative candidate Marty Burke. He is the only person charged in the robocalls case and faces up to five years in prison if convicted on the Elections Act offence.
Sona has denied involvement in the calls and claims he has been scapegoated by the Conservative Party.
Of the witnesses, Dockstaeder provided the most damning allegations against Sona.
She told Mathews about a closed-door conversation with Sona in which he allegedly described "what sounded very, very similar to the story that we'd been hearing about these robocalls. He went on to talk about how he had been involved in these robocalls," according to the ITO.
Dockstaeder also said Sona told her and a colleague that he paid in cash for a disposable phone and a Visa gift card, then obtained a list of phone numbers of Liberal voters from a friend who owed him a favour, the ITO says.
Sona "then recorded a message impersonating Elections Canada," Dockstaeder told investigators.
The scheme was part of a "juvenile competition" with the Liberal campaign in Guelph, Dockstaeder said, according to the ITO.
"And according to what Mike told us, he understood this was going to be his way of one-upping them or kind of having the last say."
Under cross examination this week by Dearden, Mathews said that he was contacted by Conservative Party lawyer Arthur Hamilton and told that Dockstaeder, Schudlo and Messom might have information relevant to his investigation.
Hamilton was present for all the interviews with five of the witnesses. Hicks provided his information through a written statement.
Hicks also referred Mathews to Tyler Barker, who agreed to the interview only after talking to Hamilton.
"He seemed to be reluctant to be interviewed," Mathews testified. "I contacted Mr. Hamilton to see if he could assist in persuading Mr. Barker to be interviewed."
Hamilton also helped Johnson during his interview by reading aloud responses he typed into a computer. Johnson has cerebral palsy and cannot speak — a detail that could not be reported earlier because it could identify him, in violation of the publication ban.
The original publication ban on the ITO has been varied twice with consent of both the Crown and defence, to allow publication of all the details save for the names of the witnesses.
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and Global News also participated in the legal proceedings to rescind the publication ban.
Sona tweeted his response to Dorval's decision Friday, saying, "It's what I've been having to deal w for last year. And now they're exposed to the same public scrutiny."
One Twitter message he directed at Croft Michaelson, the federal Crown responsible for his case.
"You lost today, Prosecutor. Better get used to it."
He also tweeted a link to a music video of the song Nightmare by metal group Avenged Sevenfold, with the message, "John Schudlo, Becky Docksteadder, Mitch Messom, Ben Hicks, Conrad Johnson...next 6 months should be fun."
Sona's trial is scheduled for June 2014.

Soil cleanup could cost eagles a home
One of North Jersey's most flighty couples is back.
But the return of Al and Alice — as this duo are called — may not be smooth. Their neighborhood is being renovated.
Al and Alice are bald eagles, with 7-foot wingspans, distinctive white-feathered heads and an apparent affection for one of the noisiest spots in North Jersey — a tree in Ridgefield Park only a few hundred yards from the intersection of the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 46.
The 33-acre tract the eagles call home is also so contaminated with DDT, PCBs and other toxic chemicals from a former paper mill that state regulators have ordered a new developer to scrape away much of its soil and cap it with 2 feet of clean fill.
Workers have already cleared away some trees, and more extensive work by the developer, Skymark Inc., is scheduled to begin in the coming months on a large office park.
But what of the eagles, America's national symbol? And, at the same time, what about the fundamental American right property owners have to control the development of their land?
Such is the dilemma at the heart of the saga of Al and Alice.
After almost being wiped out by the use of DDT and other chemicals by the 1970s with only one pair left in New Jersey, bald eagles have made a significant comeback in recent years.
Today, New Jersey is home to more than 100 pairs of bald eagles, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection. Nationally, the population has grown so much that in 2007 the federal government removed bald eagles from its endangered species list.
But state and federal environmental regulations still call for special protection for the birds. Federal regulations, for example, say it's unlawful to "disturb" an eagle's nest and mandate a buffer zone around nests of 330 to 660 feet.

Update #5
I had a bit of time so I finally got around to installing the Noctua. I've been using the computer for a while without a case so the stock cooler was already installed.
I've been trying desperately to take better pictures with my cheap point and shoot. Isn't it cute? I've taken worse pictures I guess. Unfortunately, I'm going to need some slightly taller mobo spacers. I never had a set idea for the hdd mount and it ended up a little taller than I originally planned for. But that's fine since then the cpu fan will sit right up against the top panel and it'll be able to draw in cool air through the top slot without any problems. I'll have to figure something out temporarily so I can start on the i/o panel. |

I have a 150W picoPSU I am going to use. I probably could have gotten away with the 120W but I'd rather have that little bit extra just in case.

Update #6
I was finally able to dedicate some more time to modding.
First I cut the opening on the rear wood panel, but I managed to not take any pictures. You'll see it later anyway. Then I started on the i/o panel. That scroll saw is a cheap POS but it's a lot better than using a coping saw. After a serious filing session I ended up with this. And more threaded inserts. Crap, totally forgot about the power jack. There are also a few places that need tweaking on the i/o panel. That'll just have to wait until next time. |
