Moving Govan Forward
The Association is facing the future with confidence after completing a series of changes that will benefit our tenants and the wider community.
Visitors to our offices in McKechnie Street are sure to be impressed by the new reception area, which opened on 6 May after the completion of a first phase of major refurbishment works.
The new reception area consists of a new reception desk, waiting area, easily accessible interview rooms and space for new partners Grand Central Savings. We are very grateful to The Big Lottery Fund who helped to fund this latest stage of refurbishment to enable the Grand Central Savings service to be implemented.
It has been a time of change for the association and a major part of that has been the completion of the new Executive Management Team, which was completed recently by the arrival of Kevin Nixon, (pictured on the right below), as Director of Operations.
He joins Natalya Macholla, (pictured on the left), the new Director of Finance and ICT, with both working alongside Chief Executive, Fiona McTaggart (pictured centre). The team are focused on delivering on the Association's overarching mission of "Moving Govan Forward" and they are committed to the delivery of excellent customer service, investment in people, the shaping of partnerships and ensuring that the Govan community continues to grow and prosper.
Chief Executive Fiona McTaggart said: "Providing a quality service delivering excellence and value for money to our customers is key to this new management team. We want to ensure we are building the Govan community and empowering the people who live here. This new team wants to show a commitment to the community and leave a legacy for the people of Govan."
Natalya Macholla was Head of Operations at Grand Central Savings before she joined Govan as our new Director of Finance and ICT in late April. A chartered accountant, she said: "I have seen the benefit of partnership working between the Association and Grand Central Savings and it is evident that the Association is best placed to be a great focal point for the Govan community. It is simply not enough any more for us to provide just a roof over people's heads, we have to aim to change people's lives for the better. Already I have seen that the staff here are very determined to work towards that common goal. I've also been struck by the positive involvement of the Management Committee and their aspirations for the Association and the wider community."
New Director of Operations, Kevin Nixon has been working in the Housing Association sector for over 25 years, most recently with Queen's Cross HA. But within days of arriving in Govan he has been struck by the positive vibe. He said: "The staff here clearly enjoy their work and delivering quality services. Their energy fills me with enthusiasm. We want to provide new options and opportunities for applicants and tenants. That includes a longer initial interview to identify needs across a range of areas. I'm passionate about building communities so I am definitely in the right place."

Chip that precisely detects cancer early created
What if we could diagnose cancer while it was still only affecting a few localised cells? Here comes an ultra-sensitive nano-chip that is capable of detecting cancer early.
The device is able to detect very low concentrations of protein cancer markers in blood, enabling diagnoses of the disease in its earliest stages.
"We are capable of detecting extremely low concentrations of this protein in a matter of minutes - making this device a state-of-the-art, powerful instrument that will benefit early detection and treatment monitoring of cancer," explained professor Romain Quidant from Institute of Photonic Sciences in Castelldefels in Barcelona, Spain.
This chip hosts various sensing sites distributed across a network of fluidic micro-channels that enables it to conduct multiple analyses.
Gold nano-particles lie on the surface of the chip and are chemically programmed with an antibody receptor in a way that they are capable of specifically attracting the protein markers circulating in blood.
When a drop of blood is injected into the chip, it circulates through the micro-channels and if cancer markers are present in the blood, they will stick to the nano-particles located on the micro-channels as they pass by.
The device monitors these changes, the magnitude of which are directly related to the concentration/number of markers in the patient blood, thus providing a direct assessment of the risk for the patient to develop a cancer.
"This cancer-tracking nano-device shows great promise as a tool for future cancer treatments, not only because of its reliability, sensitivity and potential low cost, but also because of its easy carry-on portable properties," Quidant added.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
OCS is a great school and a great Christ-centered community. Teachers expect strong academic effort from the children but they truly care about them as well. Very good prep for college and for the rest of their lives. Strong postive parental involvement in all aspects of the school. We feel very blessed to have found OCS!
We adore OCS. Our experience has exceeded our expectations. I love that the school focuses on whole person education from a biblical worldview. I love that one the first day of school we were invited to pray over my son's classroom and one of the things his precious teacher prayed for was for their individual giftings to be revealed. They truly care about each child. I love the community feel of the school, and yes, it does feel like a small town inside a big city. It's the best.
This school has a small town feel in a larger metropolis with teachers who teach from their heart and administrators who make decisions for the good of the whole. Additionally, our kids not only learn about the Bible, but see Christian values lives out daily. Truly blessed!
Although OCS has become a leader in academic excellence, the administrators don't rest on their past accomplishements. They are always looking for ways to improve the curriculum to better prepare our children for their future. The teachers are very dedicated and the size of the school provides an ideal environment for our kids to thrive both in their academics and their extra-curricular activities.

The Industry
creates experimental productions that expand the traditional definition of opera. By merging media and through interdisciplinary collaborations, we produce works that inspire new audiences for the art form. We believe that new opera opens space for imagination, engagement, dialogue, and connection. The Industry serves as an incubator for new talent and for artists predominantly based in Los Angeles.
The brainchild of Artistic Director Yuval Sharon,
The Industry
first launched in March of 2011.
The company burst onto the creative scene with the 2012 premiere of
, a large-scale, interdisciplinary opera by Anne LeBaron and Douglas Kearney. Opening to rave reviews, the production's striking intersection of visual artistry and musical ingenuity firmly established The Industry as an innovative force in American – and Los Angeles opera.
In June of 2013, the company presented
at the Hammer Museum, a concert reading of six works-in-progress by Pauline Oliveros, Mohammed Fairouz, David Brynjar Franzson, Ellen Reid, Aaron Siegel, and Alexander Vassos, establishing a biannual venue for the exploration of new operatic works.
The Industry garnered international recognition for
, an operatic adaption of Italo Calvino's novel, composed by Christopher Cerrone. Staged in the spectacular public areas of Los Angeles Union Station, the opera was produced for wireless headphones and marked significant collaborations with L.A. Dance Project, as well as the Sennheiser audio company. Having sold-out its entire October 2013 run, The Industry is planning to tour INVISIBLE CITIES both nationally and internationally.
Most recently, The Industry has been focused on its West Coast roots, launching
, an initiative to celebrate creative milestones in California's countercultural musical history. The first project in this series is
, a re-imaginative staging of Terry Riley's iconic 1964 masterpiece.
Named a "Face to Watch" in 2012 by the Los Angeles Times,
Yuval Sharon
has been creating an unconventional body of work exploring the interdisciplinary potential of opera. His productions have been described as "powerful" (New York Times), "virtuosic" (Opernwelt), "dizzyingly spectacular" (New York Magazine), "ingenious" (San Francisco Chronicle) and "staggering" (Opera News).
Yuval directed a landmark production of John Cage
Song Books
at the San Francisco Symphony and Carnegie Hall with Joan La Barbara, Meredith Monk, and Jessye Norman. He made his European debut with John Adams'
Doctor Atomic
at the Badisches Stadtstheater Karlsruhe in a highly acclaimed production that has been invited to Seville in 2015. For four years, Yuval was Project Director of New York City Opera's VOX, an annual workshop of new American opera, which became the most important crucible for new opera in the country under his direction.
Yuval founded and serves as Artistic Director of The Industry.
Marc is the Music Director of The Industry. He has conducted the premieres of several new operas including
The Mortal Thoughts of Lady Macbeth
Dice Thrown
The Scarlet Letter
The Peach Blossom Fan
, and
, and the American premieres of Schaeffer's
Aperghis' Sextuor
. For four years he conducted with the New York City Opera's VOX new music festival and he has conducted on the Monday Evening Concert Series, with Jacaranda, with the Ear Unit, the Vinny Golia Ensemble, the Kadima Conservatory, the CalArts New Century Players, and Ensemble Green. He was the founder and music director of the Berkeley Contemporary Opera, a company that produced four seasons of contemporary operas.
As a singer, he specializes in contemporary music and has performed over twenty-five opera roles including the premiere of
What to Wear
by Michael Gordon and Richard Foreman. Marc has written a full-length opera based on the screenplay to
The Fisher King
, is working on a children's opera, and has written several shorter chamber works.
He has been a professional whistler, plays klezmer clarinet, and he teaches theory, conducting, composition and history at CalArts.
David is a graduate of Cornell University and CalArts with a BA and MFA in theatre respectively. He began working for The Industry as General Manager in 2013, and became Managing Director in 2014. Prior to working with The Industry, David was the Managing Director of Watts Village Theater Company for four years. Moreover, David volunteered on several boards in various leadership roles, including: Chairman of Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas' Empowerment Congress Arts & Culture Committee, Board Secretary and Education Chair of the Watts Neighborhood Council, Board member of Mutineer Theatre Company, and member of the LA Producer's League Transitional Committee.
In addition to his work with The Industry, David recently served as Project Manager of L.A. Dance Project's inaugural production at the Theatre at Ace Hotel, and on the Steering committee for Arts for LA's LA Convergence. David currently serves on the LA Producer's League Midsize Board.

"The Industry is quickly and dramatically making itself an essential component of American opera. FIRST TAKE could be the start of something big. The company is now indispensable to the LA opera scene."
–Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times
First Take '13
"Is This the Opera of the Future? Invisible Cities may be thematically timeless, but it represents the leading edge of operatic innovation — a bold effort to create individualized experiences within the context of a communal performance."
–Jeffrey Marlow, Wired Magazine
Invisible Cities
"In an era of digitally projected IMAX 3D movies, on-demand television and hyperrealistic, open world video games, the centuries-old art form of opera might appear to have become something of a technological relic. But in an effort to breathe new life into the medium, a trio of companies has come together to create something never before attempted: an opera whose soundscape exists entirely in the audience's headphones, and a performance that bleeds directly into the physical space of its surroundings. The line between performer, audience member, and onlooker blurred; the experience was somewhere between a traditional opera, an alternate reality game (ARG), and a piece of high-tech performance art."
–Evan Shamoon, TechHive
Invisible Cities
"The Industry, L.A. Dance Project and audio specialist Sennheiser push the boundaries of art, imagination and wireless technology for an unprecedented, interactive dramatic experience, allowing the audience as well as by-standers in Los Angeles' Union Station. I was totally immersed in the moment, feeling a part of the scene as if the spirits were singing only to me and I was a part of them. I know other audience members were taking photos of the moment and I can only imagine the look of wonder on my face."
–Shari Barrett, Broadway World
Invisible Cities
"The hottest ticket in town. A movable feast: you're encouraged to wander under the train station's noir-glam arches and through manicured grounds, where performers are waiting for you to discover them. You might happen upon pirouetting dancers from Benjamin Millepied's LA Dance Project. Or find a soprano warbling in a corner, her voice amplified by a hidden microphone into your headphones. It's the high-concept project of director Yuval Sharon, whose fledgling company The Industry is fresh from wowing audiences last spring with a different production. This time the work is even more ambitious. Finally, someone who's made opera accessible and fun."
Invisible Cities
"A creative journey of wonderment. The Industry, in its world premiere presentation of Anne LeBaron's super- duper hyperopera, truly achieves the goals of Artistic Director, Yuval Sharon: 'to expand the traditional definition of opera and create a new paradigm for interdisciplinary collaboration.' A multimedia work of the quality of Crescent City has been a long time coming."
–The Examiner
Crescent City
"Exuberant and wonderfully performed: Crescent City reshapes LA opera."
–Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times
Crescent City
"A hugely ambitious and promising world premiere from a new company that may have changed the face of music-theater in this town overnight. That they've managed to produce something so attractive and professionally done right out of the bat is cause for celebration. There's not a non-commanding image or uninteresting moment in the show.
Most importantly, a band of Los Angeles based artists have come together to produce a huge, elaborate work right here without just emulating a pattern developed elsewhere or with imported elements from whatever worked out of town. One hopes this is only the beginning for The Industry, because with them the future of performance in the city looks decidedly brighter."

Colorado Rockies at Atlanta Braves, 12:10 P.M. MT
The Colorado Rockies, complete with their hot young hitters and their
wildly successful paired pitching piggyback experiment thing, hit the road today with hopes to continue their winning ways. If there is a true opportunity for them to play spoiler it might be against the wild card leading Braves. It will be no easy task, as Atlanta will be riding hot starting pitching and the good vibes of a walk-off moment from their loud mouthed future Hall of Famer Chipper Jones in an unlikely comeback win yesterday.
Dexter Fowler CF
Josh Rutledge SS
Carlos Gonzalez LF
Wilin Rosario C
Jordan Pacheco 1B
Tyler Colvin RF
Chris Nelson 3B
DJ LeMahieu 2B
Tyler Chatwood P
As far as recent games have gone, this is the Rockies' best lineup. They will have their work cut out for them against Kris Medlen, who has been borderline unhittable since becoming a starter, going 5-0 with a 0.66 ERA. Here is the Braves lineup that will back Medlen:
Michael Bourn CF
Jose Constanza LF
Jason Heyward RF
Freddie Freeman 1B
Martin Prado 2B
Juan Francisco 3B
David Ross C
Paul Janish SS
Kris Medlen P
After I took a shot at Chipper in the opener of this article, he isn't even in the lineup. He still deserved it though; first he bashed CarGo and questioned his MVP candidacy, and second he talked about fighting Jamie Moyer in an alley. I understand he is enjoying a triumphant farewell tour…I just wish he wasn't such a punk to the Rockies.
I suggest that Tyler Chatwood, as he tries to level out some inconsistencies, just walk Freddie Freeman every time he comes to the plate. No questions asked. Come to think of it, can we just put him on first high school baseball style? You know, where the coach just points to first base and you put him on, no pitches thrown? No fuss, no problem, just put the guy on first base. It doesn't hurt to ask, right?

Focus Fusion On Google Tech Talks
kdawson posted more than 6 years ago | from the sounds-good-on-paper dept.141
Henning Burdack writes "Eric Lerner talks on Google Tech Talks about Focus Fusion, which would be a much cheaper and more feasible technology as a fusion energy source than any other current approach, based upon the dense plasma focus device. The technology will use hydrogen-boron fusion with direct induction of ion energy and photovoltaic conversion of x-ray emission, obviating the need of a steam-cycle and thus resulting in higher efficiencies. High temperatures of 1 billion Kelvin (100 keV) have been reached years ago. It only needs $2 million in funding and two years of research for a proof of concept, and maybe four more years for a prototype with positive energy output. In contrast to other fusion efforts it utilizes the natural instabilities of plasma instead of fighting them. Focus Fusion has been discussed on Slashdot before, and a patent application is also available, going a bit more into detail."

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- The remains of an approximately 4 to 5-year-old uncollared male panther, were found at 9:00 p.m. on Monday on US 41, just west of Manatee Road in Collier County.
The cause of death was collision with a vehicle.
The carcass will be transported to the FWC Wildlife Research Lab in Gainesville for a complete necropsy. The remains will be archived at the Florida Museum of Natural History.
This is the 23rd panther mortality and 15th road mortality for 2012.

Fortunately, Mrs. Eisen took the pics well ... kind of:
A seething Shuster wrote: "Boy, do you look amazing in a bikini . . . congrats! Whatever you're doing, (Pilates? yoga?) keep doing it - it's working for you. Anyway, sorry but those seven e-mails you sent to my husband, Rich, well, oops, they came to the e-mail address we both use from time to time, but no worries, I'll forward the beach shots as well as the ones of you dancing with your friends on to his main address. Do you have it?"
She then provides her hubby's private e-mail, "since you surely are trying so hard to get his attention. I mean, what better way to get a guy's attention than with skin! Best - Suzy Shuster Eisen"
That went well. I'm sure Rich is having a hell of a week at home.
Update: Here's a pic from Awful Announcing that helps me understand why he may have distributed the email address, however incorrect that address may have been. Wife on left, bikini-clad emailer on the right.

Google just rolled out an awesome new feature of their street view maps. For the first time you can explore underwater panoramic tours of 6 different coral reefs: Heron, Lady Elliot and Wilson Islands at the Great Barrier Reef, Molokini Crater and Hanauma Bay in Hawaii, and the Apo Islands in the Philippines. You don't have to learn how to snorkel, scuba dive, or even get your toes wet.
In collaboration with the Catlin Seaview Survey, Google used a submersible underwater camera equipped with three high-resolution wide-angle lenses that captured 24 megapixel photographs from each lens every four seconds. The results are 360 degree views and what amounts to a virtual scuba tours of each reef. Pretty freaking awesome.
Check out a brief video about Google's underwater street view here.

I think that either you have some kind of ninja version of 10.5, or I got cheated. Are you saying that you can set up an NFS share to be exported via /Applications/Utilities/Directory Utility.app ? Cause I can only set up a share to be mounted via my copy. Please share :)

Time really does stand still at Brodsworth Hall, one of the most unusual visitor attractions in South Yorkshire.
Inside this beautiful Victorian country house almost everything has been left exactly as it was when it was still a family home. Possessions that took more than 130 years to gather together, from the grandest piece of furniture to family mementoes and humble domestic items, are still in their original places.
Meanwhile the beautiful grounds, a collection of grand gardens in miniature, have been restored to their full Victorian splendour, and feature a colourful array of seasonal displays.
With its children's play area, Brodsworth Hall is the ideal choice for a family day out in Doncaster.

Everything in Rio smells like someone just took a massive shit about three feet away from where you're standing.
Which is actually a pretty plausible situation…
Everything in Rio smells like someone just took a massive shit about three feet away from where you're standing.
Which is actually a pretty plausible situation…
Month-long field school is exhausting.
My neighbors are partying and have been partying for about two hours already, and I don't see them stopping for a solid while…
It's actually cold here now. (Dammit.)
I can read Portuguese. I can understand Portuguese.
My sentence formation…may never happen. :P
I repeat: Meh.
-Had an amazing workout at the beach with Maeghan (my thighs are sore and it's awesome)
-Had an awesome conversation with my mom for the first time in almost a week (and although it dwindled away half of the minutes that were left on my calling card, I'm totes satisfied)
-Got in contact with my boyfriend and managed to see my skype struggle for about a minute and half with trying to connect to the Northern hemisphere
-My hair has never been softer than it currently is
-My roommates decided I should be a professional story-teller
-I finally started tackling my laundry (I have to wash it all by hand)
-It's raining
-I go to Rocinha tomorrow to set up for the party we're having with the adult students from i2i, and living it up at said party
-The only pictures that have made their way on to facebook just show me drinking and being on the beach, but I swearsies, I'm being productive
-I'm significantly less homesick and upset
-Internet signal has been surprisingly good in my apartment
-I think we broke the TV
-Coke is still really delicious here. As is the mango. As is the pineapple.
I'm homesick already.
I get this increasingly lonely feeling just because I can't seem to get a hold of my mom every time I try to call (which is not fun to do because I have to dial about eighty numbers for my calling card and then I end up with all that work and I can only leave a message for her) and my boyfriend looks like he's having the time of his life without me around…
Whatever. It's only the first week. I need to calm down. This is all just circumstantial. (I just needsta breatheeee)
Guess I'll go run around Ipanema with Maeghan? (This food will be the death of us, I swear.)
..don't forget about me while I'm gone…
My eye is falling out of my head.
I need to make more space in my suitcase.
I need to shower and buy my last-minute things for brazil.
I need to clean up as much as I can in my room and in my car. (My mom will be invading both daily while I'm gone in Brazil.)
I forgot to order a vegan meal for my flight.
Which means I'm going to get handed an overly-salted, chewy hunk of chicken tomorrow with a pitiful side plate of cheese-covered broccoli.
And I will stare at it.
And stare.
And stare.
And offer it to the fat guy next to me.
Can't wait!
I'm awful at packing.
Five bikinis and a half-used bottle of shampoo.
I'm terrible at this. :P

The Dallas Stars (11-5-0) are coming off a 5-2 loss against the Detroit Red Wings and looking to end their first losing streak of the year against the Florida Panthers (8-5-3) who are also coming off a loss after falling to the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in their last game. Dallas is returning home after their four game roadtrip and ended up 2-2 against four quality teams. They will now play this one at home before playing in Colorado Friday, and then the boys have four straight games at home.
Kari Lehtonen will start in the net for the Stars while Scott Clemmensen will start in net for the Panthers. Both teams have injuries to report as Mikael Sameulsson (lower body) and Sean Bergenheim (groin) are out for the game. For the Stars, forward Steve Ott has missed four straight games with a hip pointer and is out once again while Stars Defenseman Alex Goligoski is out with a broken thumb for a few weeks.
The Stars are off to their best start of the season but the last two games didn't show that strong ability to finish it over the weekend. The Stars are smoking at home (6-1) and five out of six games back in Dallas while being comfortable on home ice could bring some better results. They are going to look to continue their hot streak at home as they will try and prevent the Panthers from winning four consecutively road games for the first time since 1999-2000.
The puck drops at 7:30 pm (CST) at the American Airlines Center as as this will be the only meeting between the Florida Panthers and the Stars. You can catch the game on TV with FOX Sports Southwest or listen on the radio side with Sports Radio 1310 The Ticket. Both teams will be looking for a win and to show that their better then expected starts can last. This game is also Brenden Morrow bobble head night at the AAC and could be an historic night too. The captain is only one point away from his 500th career point and could hit it tonight while all the mini-him's are in the crowd.
As always you can follow myself (Missy) at Twitter at Twitter.com/DalStarsWriter or follow Austin at Twitter.com/BlackoutDallas, and contributor Andrew Monrreal at Twitter.com/_Ammon. And for the Panthers news and thoughts, I invite you to head on over to http://therattrick.com/.

About water consumption / hydration. Here is what I had to say: One of Your Best Health Helpers: WaterRead More
Remember, it takes your body about 20 minutes to realize it is full. If you eat too quickly, your eyes may be bigger than your stomach, and you will likely want to keep eating. Choose a slower pace while eating, think about your food and how it's benefitting your body. After you finish, occupy yourself with something else for 10-15 minutes. If you are still feeling physically hungry, go ahead and add a little bit more food. It's amazing how big of an impact on fat loss eating slower can have! If you allow yourself to be starving before your meal, you will mow down a TON more calories than necessary. Be proactive, plan ahead, prevent hunger – then eat...Read More

Definition of Lead Poisoning May Be Changing
An advisory committee to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control wants to raise the threshold for safe lead levels for children as many federal dollars for prevention could be drastically slashed.
This change would increase the number of children requiring medical care and
follow-up environmental services in Kent County from about 70 last year to about 750.
Right now the CDC recommends action at a blood lead level of 10 micrograms per
deciliter. The revised value would be reduced to five micrograms.
"Brain science has developed," said Paul Haan, Director of the Healthy Homes Coalition. "We know a lot more about what happens to kids when they're exposed to lead."
Because of programs like Get the Lead Out through the Healthy Homes Coalition, the number of lead poisoning cases has been reduced from 550 in 2001 to 72 in 2011.
Charlene Werdon had her home on North Park NE in Grand Rapids tested this summer and the lead levels were off the charts. She had the home cleaned up and her two children luckily tested safe.
"The windows were all wood, the paint was all chipped, and it was lead paint," said Werdon.
Lead Poisoning is still a big problem in Kent County. In August, a 10-month old was admitted to DeVos Children's Hospital with severe lead poisoning. The city condemned the home until the paint was removed.
The President's 2012 proposed budget would merge two CDC programs and cut their budgets in half from $29 million in 2011, to around $2 million.
"At the same time, we have a budget deficit in this country and that's causing constrained budgets so we want to serve more families, but there's less money," said Haan.
The advice from the committee is only a recommendation. They have several months to decide whether to act on it and actually change the definition of lead poisoning in children.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman Tim Burke is irate over Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters' support of Republican Hamilton County Domestic Relations Court judicial candidate Jon Sieve.

Dvd-Rom Drive not recognized, not upperclass fix.
Alright, i have got my laptop, HP Pavilion Dv6700, upgraded to Windows 7 Professional x64, and i ran it previously on both beta, and RC verisions of Windows 7 without any difficulties. But now, my Dvd-rom is not being recognized by my computer, once Windows boot's up. As its a laptop, while in bios, the Dvd-rom is given power, can open close, but when Windows 7 starts, it wont even open any longer and is not viewed in the computer screen. Also under the drivers section, it shows ATA Channel 0, ATA Channel 0, ATA channel 1, ATA channel 1. All of which claim to be the most up to date. One of the key problems is i cannot even boot to dvd, to try to reinstal Windows 7, it starts to read the disc, then skips immediatly to booting from my HD, even with boot to dvd set to priority.
Now what i've done, ive tried the Upper/Lower class filter fix, gone into the Registry, and looked for those, and i do not have those filters on there, i have also done the manual run command for the same problem "Bcdedit /set Ddisable_integrity_checks" and rebooted my laptop, without any change. I have also uninstalled each of the ATA Channel drivers, and rebooted my laptop, still, no change.
Now i suspected that it was my laptop Dvd-rom drive going out, but i just recently discovered my desktop is having the same exact problem! So i jumped onto some virus scanning programs, and found my systems clean, so far, but i know that doesent mean much. I did the same steps above for the desktop, and the Dvd-rom drive remains unrecognized, though as it has its own power source, can open and close. I -know- the desktop's drive is not bad, as i recently installed it last week, when the original drive was bad, so i could reinstall Windows 7 RC x32 on my desktop.
At this point i dont know what more to do, besides possibly reinstalling Windows 7 with a flash drive on my laptop, to see if it can see my Dvd-rom again, because when i first installed Windows 7 Professional, it viewed my Dvd-rom fine. Anyone with any tips, please get back to me!

If the drive is not recognized at boot up, the problem is in the BIOS (or the drive). Upper/lower filters, etc have no affect as they only come into play AFTER Windows loads.
Check the BIOS and see if the drive is recognized in the BIOS. If not, clear the CMOS (BIOS) and see if that helps. I haven't worked on an HP laptop so I'm not sure of the procedure - removing the backup battery for about 10 minutes will probably do it. The other possibility is to reseat the data cable - both at the drive and at the motherboard.

You need to download and install the latest intel matrix storage manager software/driver because AHCI is enabled in your bios, and what happens during installation of Windows 7 is Windows 7 installs the Intel driver, but for correct functionality you need to install the intel matrix storage manager after installation is complete if you dont it will cause the problem you are having with your DVD DRIVE.
You will find it at the intel site - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx
Select chipsets - chipset software - intel(R) matrix storage manager - Select Operating System - select Windows 7 (64bit OR 32 bit) - select drivers - select intel(R) matrix storage manager 188.8.131.523 - download and install.
(make sure you don't download the floppy configuration utility by mistake) - it will show up if you select utilities.

First, Fireberd, in both systems BIO's recognizes the drives, but in the laptop it doesent give me enough time to boot from cd before going to booting from the HD.
Whest, i tried to go into that previously, and it said "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software. Setup will now exit." Im not using a Intel chipset, im using AMD?
|My System Specs
|28 Dec 2009
Thats strange I checked your laptop and it had intel matrix i thought - so you have amd and what chipset is it - nforce by any chance or what? You have 2 different names for the one laptop dv6700 than dv700 and the dv 6700 is intel, but i'll now check the dv700 to see what chipset if has - DAMN search wont show it on the hp site can you send me a link or can you find the name of the chipset for your laptop?
You need to be more specific as the search finds 100's instead of several to choose from.

Welcome to Windows 7 SUpport forums,
As I understand your issue is that you are trying to install a copy of Windows 7 on dvd media from your dvd drive but as you progress through the install it halts and prompts you that the Drive is missing drivers and cannot acomplete the install?
Is this a correct assumption?

I apologize, i wasent going off the service tag, but what the system told me my model was, which was wrong on the hp detection thing. Im using the Dv6915nr, here is the link to my support page. HP Pavilion dv6915nr Entertainment Notebook PC - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
Adrian, my problem is not that it halts or anything of that matter. I currently run Windows 7 Professional x64 bit, on my laptop. My problem is my Dvd-rom is completely gone while Windows is running. The bios recognizes it, but doesent give time to boot from it to try to reinstal windows. I am sure its not a problem distinctly with my drive, because my Desktop has now had the same problem. In addition to this, i have checked the standard bug for Windows 7 and dvd-rom's and my Registry is fine, and the manual CMD code did nothing to resolve the problem.

This solution below seems to be the best I can find - others are dubious but worth trying in the order they are listed.
Guys, I have found a solution for problems concerning about the change OS from Windows Vista to Windows 7. If you have problems like Video Drivers, just do this step:
1.) Go to Control Panel
2.) Turn on Automatic Updates
3.) Download all updates.
4.) Install updates and VOALA! All are updated and drivers ate installed.
TRUST ME THIS WORKS for Windows 7 x64 NVIDIA GeForce 7150M Drivers for HP Pavilion dv6915nr Entertainment Notebook PC.
Thanks! and I hope this helps.
Try the latest nforce drivers for the Nvidia nForce 630M chipset might work - your product is supported - check supported products to see - its the last one in geforce 7 series - nforce630m
Check this thread - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Windows-7-Beta-and-test/NVIDIA-GeForce-7150M-nForce-630M-Driver-for-Windows-7-Where-to/td-p/64248
Also you could try this hot fix for usb ports for the chipset - do so at your own risk - set up restore point - this is only a possible fix, but may effect the dvd drive - and check in device manager firstly for NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset.
You encounter problems when you move data over USB from a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2-based computer that has an NVIDIA USB EHCI chipset and at least 4GB of RAM
Your specs -
Processor 2.0GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60
Memory 3GB, 667MHz DDR2
Hard drive 200GB 5,400rpm
Chipset Nvidia nForce 630M

Complexion Boot Camp
Skin been to hell and back? Here's how to repair the damage and shape up your regimen for fall.
By Gina Way
Minimize Fine Lines
"Heaped up dead cells create creases on the surface of the skin," says Marmur, "so you have to smooth the texture by exfoliating two or three times a week. Chemical exfoliators like alpha hydroxy or salicylic acids do more than get rid of dead skin. They help with brown spots, wrinkles, acne, and enlarged pores, too." Next, try a moisturizer with humectants like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to instantly plump up and fill fine lines. And incorporate a retinoid into your routine twice a week, working up to more frequent applications. "A retinoid is the centerpiece of any antiaging regimen because it stimulates collagen formation and speeds skin turnover." A quicker fix? Complexion spackle. "Primer-like products with silicones and polymers smooth over lines, making them less visible, and they also help seal moisture into the skin," says Shamban. "Eye creams with mica create a similar optical illusion by reflecting light to soften the appearance of crow's-feet and brighten under eyes."

During climb-out from the departure airport, the pilot noticed the engine "felt off balance" and began to "misfire." The pilot initiated a return to the airport, and shortly thereafter the engine "backfired" and lost all power. The pilot initiated a forced landing, during which the airplane impacted trees and was substantially damaged. Examination of the engine revealed that a helicoil was cross threaded in the number 3 cylinder head, and metallic particles were adhered to the cylinder head and top of the piston. Thirteen days earlier, the pilot reported difficulty clearing one of the spark plugs, and he removed the number 3 cylinder bottom spark plug as a result. A mechanic then cleaned the spark plug hole, assured there were no steel particles in the cylinder, replaced the helicoil, installed a new spark plug, and ran the engine. The mechanic who installed the helicoil was non-certificated, and at the time the work was performed, a certificated mechanic was not present. According to Textron Lycoming Service Instruction No. 1043A, if a spark plug Helicoil insert replacement is performed with the cylinder assembled on the engine, "some provision must be made for preventing the aluminum shavings from entering the combustion chamber."
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

SMGD's Apology
No, I was not sentenced to death. Also I know most of not all of you will not get that reference.
Anyway, I would like to apologize to everyone for my lack of awesome as of late. If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, you may have seen that I, in fact, have been quite suicidal as of late. A lot of stressful things have come up in my life, and I guess it is best to know that I am not dead.
I have been suffering a whole hell of a lot of depression as of late. Two weeks ago, I had to change my entire school schedule because all of a sudden I am not going to graduate on time. Second Semester of my Senior year, when I was previously on track, they lost my transcripts and so now I have to take a bunch of cruddy classes. I hate them all.
On top of that, my girlfriend, and one of the few people I actually talk to indepth about anything, broke up with me. She is the only thing I truly care for, so it was quite a blow. Its really great to know now that she broke up with me to get back with her ex-boyfriend. Now I have no hope left to hold onto, so I am just kind of dredging through life as of now.
Anyway, if I seem to come off as over touchy, I will apologize right now for that.

Don't feel bad about the graduation thing, you are not alone. I was going to have to do 2 extra years at high school due to some stuff involving my transition from one school system to another. I'd love to ell you that I applied myself, and we all lived happily ever after...but we didn't. I applied myself for nothing, made almost no progress, dropped out and got my GED. That doesn't mean you should, but never forget that the option is available if it becomes necessary.
As for your being suicidal, I wish I could slap a couple quotes into this with some fancy pants words between them, and make you feel all better. Well, I can't do that. I have almost no experience on the matter. I will, however, tell my girlfriend to come post here, as she has more knowledge in that particular field than I do.
The only other thing I can do is tell you that I am here when you need to talk to someone.

Schools are evil.
I feel for you. A friend of mine was held back a year and when she wanted to quit the school had randomly added a new rule that you must be 18 to quit school. They always "Loose" something when you transfer and they love to make kids stay at school longer than they should.
But you seem close to graduating, so i wouldn't give in just yet. When i finally graduated i pissed a lot of people off for under dressing (wearing dirty old rainbow converse), obviously texting through the whole ceremony, and completely ignoring the principal's handshake (who gave me a lot of shit though school). But just as a forewarning, if you graduate, the ceremony always sucks, no matter the school. I did it for my mom (as most kids do) and she regretted it, because i was such an ass.
When it comes to your girlfriend, being dumped is a hard thing to go through. But she obviously wasn't good enough for you is she left you like that. One day i hope that magical lady walks into your life and and loves you unconditionally. And when you find her you will be able to laugh at your ex who chose to go back to someone she obviously didn't match with in the first place! If you have good friends, keep them close to carry you through tough times like this.
I don't know you personally, but i believe you will come out of this stronger than you were before.
And like AllOfTheAbove said, hardships are a part of growing up. We all go through something horrible, no matter how extreme, and we have to push through and remember the beautiful things that we feel are worth living for.
This was WAY longer than i intended, but i hope you still got the message.
I hate to know people hurt and suffer, but its all part of life.

I am starting to feel better, its just I feel empty inside. I really cared about this girl, and we did a lot of things I have never done before, and such. Usually I recover well from someone breaking up with me(Side Note: I have only broken up with one person, on the day after Valentine's day(really ironic cause this is when Mara broke up with me) because all my friends kept making fun of me cause she kissed me, and that I had cooties or something. I was in second grade. Too nice to break up with anyone, and I hate it sometimes.), but she is so different. I tried mackin' on the ladies(No, I don't use macking ever in conversation), but it feels so wrong to me. Giving up on women, period.

Hey man, I have been through so much crap in the last year, and by that I mean the 2009-2010 school year back in Edmonton that my life was miserable. I am not even joking when I say the mentality of the people there was like that of prisoners... maybe not quite that bad. But it was a catholic school I had to go to for 1 year for whatever reason... Amongst some of the stuff that happened throughout the year was 3 murders, 10 overdoses, an estimated 90% of the school into hard drugs (not me) and just a psycho mentality. I got stabbed in the middle of religion class for what reason? None, I was just stabbed because some high kid felt like it and when my parents found out (not from me but its kind of hard to hide...) they got the cops all over him, got him suspended and I was treated like crap all year for that fact and being labelled a "Rat". This was not really right either in my mind. I've never really been the outcast type or the "loser" since the fourth grade or something. Now that I'm back in a WAY better school in a different city I am doing really well again although my personality has changed since I'm shy as hell now and trying to break free of that, and I'm doing alright with that but being overly-shy and paranoid is not something I used to have as traits...
I'm not making this a competition but the moral of the story is that I got through some really extremely difficult times by just keeping my chin up and taking it day by day and it payed off so much because I don't think I've ever been happier... Even now I'm struggling to approach even my closest friends easily but I'm fighting against it and I think I'm far less shy than I was in the beginning of this year. I just work on it, bit by bit and take my time and its working.
All you got to do is do things you enjoy as much as you can and try to keep up on things that may stress you out more. Hang out with friends, try to laugh everything off and just wait it out because nothings ever really the end. Things will get better, I know, I have so many damn horror stories to tell but that is the past, the past is the past, plain and simple.
Edit: also, feel free to contact me on xbox live if I'm on to play some perfect dark or GTA, I don't mind.

Health Care Agents - Appointing One and Being One
Being a Health Care Agent
Why would I want to be a health care agent?
Accepting the appointment to be a health care agent is a way of affirming the importance of your relationship to the person appointing you. However, accepting an appointment requires thoughtful consideration about whether you can fulfill the role appropriately. Acting as a health care agent brings significant responsibilities and should be viewed as an honor to be given such trust.
There also are practical reasons for accepting formal appointment as an agent. If you are the closest relative to the patient, you can expect to be the person that health care professionals will look to for consent or decisions if the patient cannot make them. However, some state laws limit this informal decision-making process, particularly in cases of decisions to forgo or withdraw treatment. Without a formal appointment you may be able to consent to treatment but not refuse it or have it stopped, even if you know it is unwanted. To stand by helplessly watching someone you love be treated in a way you know that person would not have wanted can be a very painful experience.
If there is a conflict among family members and no agent has been designated, medical providers will normally continue all treatment until the conflict is resolved. Even if you are the person who knows the patient best and the one in whom the patient has confided, you may be unable to speak for the patient unless you are the legally designated agent. You may be excluded from decisions, particularly if you are not a close relative. It is not uncommon today for a friend to be closer to a person than family members who may live far away. If you are a formally-appointed health care agent, your authority has priority over all others, including family members.
What are my responsibilities as a health care agent?
As the health care agent you have the power to make medical decisions if the patient loses the capacity to make them. Unless your authority to act is limited by the patient or the state law, you normally can make all medical decisions for the patient, not only end-of-life decisions. In most states, as the health care agent you can also speak for the patient even if he or she becomes temporarily incapacitated as might occur after an accident. Generally, you may speak for the patient only as long as the patient is unable to make decisions.
You need to read the state forms and the instructions carefully to find out if there are any limitations upon your authority to make health care decisions. For example, in a few states your authority to make end-of-life decisions is limited to circumstances addressed in the document. Some limit the agent's ability to make decisions related to psychiatric hospitalization or shock treatment. A few states require that the agent have some specific knowledge about the patient's wishes regarding artificial nutrition and hydration or other specific treatments.

Manager parens? I'm actually trying a variation of monovision right now--one eye for distance but it still works for reading, just not as good; the other for reading but distance isn't quite as clear. It works but I want my young eyes back! I've worn contacts almost my whole life (since high school) and I hated it but I should have appreciated how easy that was.
I had early morning clients, went to parkour. I'm probably going to silks today because I can't go tomorrow. I scheduled a massage for tomorrow so I decided today is as good of a day to get muscle fatigue and make the best of my massage!
|Sat, 10-05-2013 - 10:35am
"Manager parens" was a problem with voice annotation. My manager's ego doesn't fit in one room. He hijacked some of my selling time, and later recounted that he just wanted to "...show you how it's done." <ahem>. That's why I have won sales awards and he has not won one...it is so humbling to work for someone who is so arrogacontacts
i, too, have worn contact and glasses since I was 10(?). I had lasiks done about 10 years ago, and it was SO NICE!!! I have been "fighting against" having to wear them, again, but I am losing the fight. :(
yin yoga today, and lots of errands. The massage really helped with my pulled hamstring, so I think I will do it again this week. :)

Oh, so sweet! I just googled cavachon and saw a video ("Dogs 101 on Animal Planet") and your dog is so sweet! white white/fawn colored or darker? I just love the dogs! I have a bull mastiff and boxer, and I always thought it would be fun to have a smaller dog, too, because my bull mastiff is so gentle with the smaller dogs. :). I just went tthrow hours of Dogtraining, and we are going to be the "distraction" fThea Canine Good Citizen (CGC) class next week. :)

Street style with Mallory and Tommy Pom after last week's NYC Uncubed.
With Hurricane Sandy putting most of NYC, and the startups therein, out of commission last week, we postponed NYC's largest tech talent fair UNCUBED and spent the time instead helping NY get back on its feet.
The new dates are now Monday, November 12th and Tuesday, November 13th.
Same schedule and same great founders speaking about their startups- from Neil Blumenthal of Warby Parker to the lovely Birchbox ladies- and small fries to Spotify putting on a show and dance to keep and attract top talent.
The proceeds from the panels and fun of Day 2 will go towards Hurricane Sandy relief. So get out of the house, do some good, and walk out with a new job in the tech center of NYC.
We're bringing UNCUBED back home to New York next week but this time as a 2-day festival, produced in part by our friends over at NYC Digital. For those looking to get out of their cubicle and into working for a startup, you can grab tickets here: nycuncubed.splashthat.com
Over 60 of NY's emerging tech companies, from Tumblr to Etsy, are going to be hosting live designer battles, paper napkin pitching contests, lean machine startup workshops, panels on the future of tech & fashion, and startup storytelling by everyone from Gary Vaynerchuk to the Warby Parker founders.
We'll be holding court both days, so be sure to stop by the press table and say hi. :)
*dates above reflect new dates as per the Sandy-postponement
Small Girls' Clients in the Press!
The past 48 hours have been a big press day for us! Two of our clients had great features run that we're pumped to share with you:
- The New York Times featured one-stop moving destination Unpakt in their Sunday Edition (page MB7) and posted the article, "Letting Movers Bid to Haul Your Stuff" on their site. So if you didn't get Sunday's paper- go check it out!
- The Next Web broke Wakefield Media's daily email service expansion and their impending Uncubed NYC event, connecting hiring startups with top creative talent. And you're all invited! So if you want to come see LCD Soundsystem and Yeasayer DJ for NY's tech set and have the potential to walk out with a cool new job, join us at Uncubed on the 5th and pick up tickets here: nycuncubed.splashthat.com
Tarek Pertew, co-founder of Wakefield and NYC Uncubed, tries on Tortoise & Blonde frames.
Which frames do you think suit him: Keyser (left) or the Sunset (right)?
Personally we're into the Keysers.
The line was two city blocks long on Thursday waiting for the door's to open at UNCUBED - NYC's largest tech talent fair for which did all the PR.
Over 80 of the city's most buzz-worthy startups came together to put celebrate NY tech with speaker panels, workshops, live music and an open bar… all in the hopes of attracting top talent to keep them right here in NY. Spotify provided the speaker lounge and live performances while Tumblr poured the all day open bar in signature "tumbler" glasses. When we signed onto the project the panelists and speakers were a full roster of impressive, but all male, names. By the time we were done we had appointed one savvy woman in tech to each panel and coordinated Joanna Stern (tech editor of ABC news) and Bianca Bosker (tech editor of HuffPo) to moderate each as well.
We broke the story on Tech Crunch, with follow-up pieces from AM Daily, The Observer and in-event coverage from CNN, Channel 11 News, CNBC, NPR, WNYC and an appropriately titled Startup Magazine.
UNCUBED's next stop is Philly. Stay tuned.
