Your my music folder location is C:\user\ (username) and iTunes location is C:\Program Files ?
One more question ... How many hard disks do you have, and are the musics stored anywhere other than the disk containing C drive ?
If so , Download take ownership.zip from the second post of the thread, unzip it, there is a file take ownership.reg. Run it as admin and merge it. then there is "take ownership" in your right click context menu.
Right click on your music folders, and take ownership (including my music). Then you should be able to add musics to your iTunes library .
This process worked for me for two times . I have stored all musics in a disk other than the disk with C drive. So for two clean installations, I tunes refused to add musics .

I've been using iTunes on Windows 7 64 the past few weeks, coming from apple side for 5 years, and think the Windows 7 version is better. So far, no problems. I put the music/movie folder on it's own separate drive, changed the settings, and been lucky so far.

Hi all,
I solved my problem and I've just registered on here to pass on what I know to try to help other poor souls that have this issue. I havent got the perfect step by step solution but hopefully it will help.
So yes, I decided to use my Xbox to view photos on my PC via the Extender thing & Windows Media Center.
Big mistake, WMC is really slow and laggy and basically useless so I have since discovered on other forums.
By doing this it locked my USER folder (a little lock appeared on my USER folder name)
I got the message you are all getting, folder or file locked etc..
I searched all the forums and tried various things. no one thing was the magic solution.
What I can say is that it's all to do with ownership of a) your own folder and b) the Itunes library file.
I think the zip file above could be useful as a starting point. However, it did NOT change all the permissions correctly for the itunes folder.
check who is the owner of your itunes folder/files.
go properties, security, advanced, ownership << and check that you and not some other thing is the owner of the folder/file. you can manually amend I think.
check also properties, sharing < to see if the folder/files is shared with everyone, mine wasnt.
someone said that you should go to the itunes library file and go: general, advanced and untick the two things: under file attributes. I did that and it might have helped. but note: now that my itunes is working, both are ticked again so could be a red herring.
someone said, do a couple of check disk jobs. Media Centre locked drive - Microsoft Answers my USER folder seems to become unlocked at this point (although it might have been other things I did). worth doing though
NOTE! I was able to run itunes via Admin control. Start/right click on itunes.exe and run as a admin. I was also to sync my iphone and everything. so this was a relief but of course the original issue wasnt fixed but as least I could sync.
I had not removed WMC at this point, but I DID click on Start Menu and EXtras in WMC and untick the box that says that it will control all media. worth doing and saving.
my breakthrough was cut/pasting the itunes library.itl into another new folder within the itunes folder so that itunes couldnt FIND the library file and hey presto, itunes opened via my normal user account
but it did have any music listed of course. I then ensured the the old library file was properly owned by me and is shared. then COPIED it back into the proper location. started itunes and by some miracle, it worked.
other notes:
system restore didnt work for me
I never reinstalled itunes during all this, dont bother
my USER folder still has "read only" ticked, but I can use it normally. weird.
I still have WMC installed
I never tried to mess with Administrator account stuff or login as Admin. My user account has admin privileges.
I never touched my anti virus (Zone Alarm) during all this
bloody computers!
good luck all.

Thanks to her role as Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara is Hollywood's hottest new girl on the block. So it was fitting that she truly rocked the red carpet at the London premiere of the movie, wearing a Givenchy by Ricardo Tisci Couture dress and Brian Atwood shoes.
The white maxi contrasted strongly with her sharp black cropped hair, which she had to dye and chop off to play the role of a tortured girl abandoned by the everyone in Swedish author Steig Larsson's trilogy. Rooney – who has previously played all-American heroines – has spoken at length about the emotional impact of some of the filming, which included a rape scene.
Tonight she admitted playing the character – who in the book is described as pale, anorexic and with piercings – has had a lasting impact on her style. 'It was harder coming out of my character's style than getting into it. There is still a degothing period going on,' she told Grazia.
In tomorrow's Grazia magazine you can see exclusive pictures of Rooney as Lisbeth Salander and hear from the movie's costume director and make-up artist about her transformation.
Rooney looked nervous on the red carpet, perhaps slightly overwhelmed by the beginning of a worldwide publicity junket that's set to turn her into a huge star. She admitted that she hasn't even seen the movie herself all the way through yet – and didn't stick around to watch it tonight either. Both herself and co-star Daniel Craig were catching a flight to Sweden, where the book by is set. Let's hope she's got an equally glamorous outfit for that…

Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.

DELICIOUS! I am addicted... I can eat it right out of the container. I use it for my pre and post workout shakes, as well as for breakfast. At breakfast I mix it with kale or spinach, some raspberries, stevia, cinnamon, a splash of lemon flavored fish oil, ground flaxseeds and some chia seeds. Honestly - it is yummy! It's significantly better than any rice protein and it keeps me satisfied longer.
I agree. Great Protein!

I don't digest whey or soy proteins well and have been disappointed in taste and texture of rice proteins. Country Life does offer Max Amino Acids in free form capsules but I was taking a lot of capsules trying to come close to the amount offered in powder forms. I was thrilled to find Pea protein. I've used it for a week and I feel great! If you like carrot juice, it mixes very well for a very good taste.
Great protein!

I really like this protein powder, however, I find it a little too sweet for my taste, so I mix it with another protein powder to "cut the sweet down" a bit. I chose it because it's from a reputable company and uses xylitol for sweetner. Great product, and very affordable.

I love it, I mix and drink it everyday for breakfast either with fresh mango, avocado, apple, & banana plus cucumber along with 1/2 cup of oatmeal. I freeze my fruit 1/2 hr. for my smoothie so it can be nice and cold. I don't feel hungry for 6 hrs. Great protein no need to add any sweetner.

I have Celiac Disease and I cannot have whey protein. This protein provides me with the protein I need and the amino acids I need. I love the flavor and the way it blends up. Sometimes I just put ice and water in a blender wih a scoop of the pea protein. I usualy ass almond milk and whatever else you want I want to throw in the smoothie.

PARKS COMMISSION MEETINGOctober 28, 2004
Attending: John Brandt, Robert Garrett, Laura Dowlan, Michael Higgs, Jyll Smith, Nick McDonough, Tanya Beard, Orville Rice, Jeff Bickford
Absent: Wynn Cudmore
Recorder: Diana Craig
Presenters/Special Guests:
BOC: Janet Carlson, Sam Brentano, and Patti MilneJ. Thomas Atkins presentation, North Santiam TrailJason Franz presentation, proposed BMX facility at Rogers Wayside Park
Introductions: After brief introductions, Janet noted that this year, the BOC has been scheduling with all of the advisory boards and reviewing what each board is doing. They felt it was important to get involved with each, with communication being the key to guide direction for each board. One of their main concerns for our parks, very much in the public eye and in the paper recently, is for their maintenance and security. According to Public Works staff, there have been recent numerous reductions in budgeting. Funding is key; the BOC is committed to supporting what they can while staying within our funding restraints.
The BOC were very pleased with the project to provide the playground equipment at Santana Park. (Click on the link to view pictures of the project) http://publicworks.co.marion.or.us/parks/SantanaImprovement/santana_park_photo_index.asp
Hopefully, with hard work and community support, other similar projects could be funded in the future. The BOC hopes to unify all the advisory board with similar by-laws. The next scheduled parks commission meeting will address the need to update their by-laws. Jeff, Tanya, Orville, and Diana are already scheduled to attend training on December 3rd provided for leaders and staff on public meeting laws. This training will cover Roberts Rules of Order, generating ground rules, county standards, and guidelines for advisory boards. Patti encouraged the boards that they are the eyes and ears of the BOC and to let them know what's happening in our parks. Sam's personal belief with our parks system is livability of safe and secure parks for our community. He would like to thank and recognize the parks board members for their hard work.
Alternative Transportation Link feasibility study
Tom Atkins, a consultant conducting a feasibility study for the North Santiam Canyon Economic Development Corporation, presented information on the effort to establish a system of trails linking communities and parks in the canyon. A report on the proposed 34-mile system between Lyons and Idanha is expected to be released by the end of October after further public comment. The system would use a combination of state-owned railroad bed, shoulders of state and county roads, existing trails and parks. Early efforts would focus on extending existing trails from communities outward. Funding for establishment and maintenance of the system of asphalt and graveled trails would come from a combination of public and private sources. Marion County is likely to be asked to widen shoulders when doing road improvements along the trail system.
Tom Atkins began his presentation by giving an overview of the proposed project. Development started in Spring 2003. He was hired by the trail system's economic development board to get out in the community to get a feeling of what the community wanted. Laura, who is on our park's commission board, has also been a very active member of that trail committee. Tom shared that he has touched base with both sides including positive support as well as a few strong objections to the proposed trail system. At the offset of the project, he began with a series of community meetings. At their first meeting, he presented the resource information, guiding principles, and goals.
In September, at another series of meetings, they presented the final plans and goals to familiarize citizens with the areas that encompassed the trail system alignment. One of these meetings was held in Detroit and another was held in Mill City; each represented both ends of the geographic area within the trail system.
The proposed trail system begins in Lyons on the west side and continues on to Idanha on the east end. There is approximately 34 miles of corridor trail, the heart of which is about 12 miles of state owned railroad bed beginning west of Mill City and ending at the base of Big Cliff Dam. The Economic Development Corporation developed the overall goals for the project. These goals include stimulating tourism and the economic benefits within the canyon, as well as improving the quality of life for its residents and visitors. The National Institute of Health is really beginning to look at the health benefits of exercise that relate to trail use because hiking/biking is such an easy way to exercise. Other goals include boosting economic productivity and providing a safer non-motorized transportation as an alternative to Hwy 22 for both residents and visitors. It also links communities together and to natural resources of the canyon.
Tom then presented one of the first resource maps developed by the stakeholders of the project and community business leaders showing the proposed trails systems. This resource map became their game board for the project that identified both the natural and cultural resources that they hoped to link. The trail plan represents (3) three different levels of trail system. The overall trail network was shown on the map.
The next map showed the central spine area that starts at Lyons and parallels the North Santiam River to Detroit Lake and then on up to Idanha. They then broke down the project into 18 different sections. Their detailed report ranked these areas into (3) three priorities. Green signified those trails, which would be developed first, yellow to be developed second, and red to be developed last. These were ranked by ease of implementation, funding opportunities, environmental factors, community support, and backing from adjacent property owners. There is a summary table that represents each section describing the ease of implementation, and lists specific comments for each section, with recommendations in terms of development sequence. Several other concerned groups they met with were representatives from the railroad and Niagara Park area about concerns they had for the trail. The main question that came up continually in meetings with stakeholders and those with the public meetings is who will maintain the trail? The report's recommendation for maintenance and development of the trail system would be to set up a joint management group including county, state, local jurisdictions, and representatives from volunteer groups. There are very successful models in the state, NW, and throughout the United States. He then answered funding questions as well as feedback concerning community support/opposition for the project.
Laura/Orville: Orville added the steel bridge currently used on the S. Abiqua River is scheduled to be replaced soon. This bridge has potential to be used for a crossing, at one time there was a wooden railroad trestle there. After working on this project together they have come up with a possible preliminary plan: "Marion County Public Works would work with the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon State Parks to install a bridge over Minto Creek to provide for both vehicle and foot traffic. The bridge would reconnect the old railroad right-of-way on each side of Minto Creek and contribute towards the completion of the Canyon Connector Trail. The bridge would allow for the possibility of relocating the currently dangerous entrance of Minto Park along Highway 22 to the safer entrance at Maples Rest Area."
Mike McCarthy – gave a general overview of how they could combine his current efforts with transportation planning for MC. He encouraged them to contact him on any of their needs for planning involving the transportation system network in Marion County.
Presentation/Discussion: Jason Franz, proposed BMX track at Rogers Wayside in Silverton. Tanya first gave a little background information as well as key issues of liability for MC. In addition, Tanya spoke with Molalla on their BMX Park and found out how it was working in their community. The first priority for their proposed project involves finding property for their project. Jason is chairperson for his group and working on acquiring the area for the proposed BMX system. Rogers Wayside Park would be perfect and is currently under-used. The implementation would not disturb the creek or existing trees. His group hand-delivered informational packets referencing the proposed BMX project to the adjoining property owners and surrounding community. His group received very positive feedback from the community in support for their idea. He explained to the BOC that the park is currently under used. John Brandt had asked about the possibility of building a trail on Oregon Garden property to adjoin the (2) two areas. Jeff Bickford responded to the question that the Oregon Garden is concerned about who will cover the liability in the event of an injury on the in-between land, and that the Oregon Garden is looking for the county to take on that responsibility.
Tanya talked with our legal councel Scott Norris; he stated that limitation on liability for recreation is extreme, with the buyers beware kind of attitude. Possibly, we would could classify the trail as "recreational only" to ensure we wouldn't be held responsible. This is a start for working with our legal team from that standpoint. Orville asked Jason who would provide the necessary maintenance. His response, MSDC (Mountain Street Dirt Crew), he is the head of this group in the local community. He presented a letter to the commission from the City of Silverton. (letter) Jason gave the group a sample of the packets that were given out. John's concerns are still the traffic hazards for bikers in the area. One possible solution to improve safe access to the park would be to change the current speed limit in the area. The current path goes by Safeway; the hope is to continue the path for a safer connection. Jeff Bickford said PW has asphalt grindings that are readily available for the project. Electricity, water, restrooms, etc. all will be addressed before any decision can be made. Patti was encouraging to him for the project. She suggested that he might make use of our Juvenile Department crews to make this project happen and to encourage the community to get involved. She also encouraged him to contact as many of our departments as he can to continue to glean additional help. Sam has recently toured the community in Silverton. He personally saw the interest for a project that involved bikes and skateboards. Orville said that plans for a new bathroom are already in place for our park at the location. Laura asked if there were any cooperative agreements for maintenance; what entity would be supporting the effort, would his group seek non-profit status and has IMBA endorsed his group? Jason gave feedback that it would depend on what the county would require. Tanya stated that it was imperative that their group become more formal, incorporated, etc. She suggested that if their group were affiliated with IMBA, it would make grants for them more feasible. Further, there would have to be an inter-governmental agreement in place with the group signed to make the project feasible. John still had concerns, is changing this park to a single use going to affect the park's use. If this proposed park project cleaned up the area, it would be more usable for other uses with the possibility of playground equipment in the future. Tanya will set up a checklist for Jason, i.e. a "to do" list for the possible proposed project development. Laura D. wants a drawing that could include access concerns as well as multiple use ideas. Tanya has talked to a company named Kimball who currently operated at the expense of Friends of The Track. The agreement is between the City of Molalla and Kimball, this could be a possibility for our idea. Janet asked for a copy of their intergovernmental agreement. She felt we could possibly model ours by their example and save us having to "recreate the wheel." The group was encouraged to look at the BMX track in Molalla. Tanya will contact our legal department and find out the level of organization Jason's group needs to be, acquire a copy of Molalla's contract, and get the information to the parks board ahead of the next meeting. Jason will be responsible to look into what status of organization he needs to build. The major concern continues to be, who will actually be responsible for being in charge of getting the maintenance done. In the Molalla-Kimball agreement, there was an out-clause included, that if maintenance were not kept up, the park would be taken back and re-developed. The maintenance at their facility has been great. They built a fence that separated the track from the rest of the area. This allows the area's use for multiple activities.

'08-'09 New play equipment at Scotts Mills Park--$60K
Tanya will be putting together a 5-yr. plan for developing this list, with security and maintenance as priorities for this list. We will be including this as an agenda item for the next meeting. Laura suggested they discuss a strategy along with the BOC to build our master plan and re-involve the public to get interested in our parks.
A primary goal of Parks is to increase the level of service we are able to provide our visitors on a consistent basis. Currently, the most efficient way for us to achieve this goal is to hire a full-time person for 6 months of each year (the open season for our parks). This individual would be responsible for the majority of the on-the-ground maintenance activities, leaving Orville free to pursue and complete the special projects outlined above. The estimated cost for an employee filling this position is $11K. If funds were available to have a full-time employee year-round, the level of service could be further increased. The estimated cost of this action is $30K (due to benefits).
Current safety measures include the use of Pro-Star Security Company who is responsible for opening and closing the gates at Aumsville Ponds, Spongs Landing, and in '05 we will be adding Scott Mills Park. Additionally, Parks is active in the North Santiam Security Corridor group, an interagency taskforce aimed at increasing safety and security in the North Santiam Canyon area. Other measures of security are desired, such as utilizing Sheriff's cadets for patrols, but require significant funds currently unavailable to us.
Tanya introduced Emily as our Americorps volunteer. One of her responsibilities as a volunteer is to do a community project with her being in charge of the project. This could be helpful for our parks. Tanya would like to give her the opportunity to work on an outreach project, and she is only available until August. With her short availability, any ideas would need to go forward very quickly. Her proposal needs to be ready by January. Tanya asked the board to go forward with any suggestions and get them to her very soon.
The BOC was thanked for the direction they are headed with our parks. The park's board felt it was very important to keep up with maintenance, as in the long run it will save the community money. Laura asked the BOC about long term funding, if we can raise money, can they match from general funding monies. Janet said that should be included in the wish list portion with no promises, but it would be helpful to plan for the funding. The more attractive the improvements are for the community, the more favorable the funding could potentially be. Patti was very pleased to hear the outreach concerns for our parks. She was in favor of the long-range plans for funding as this will help set the course of action to help get things done, Jason's idea was a great example of how community involvement helps. John was pleased that he had support in his local community from Sam. John then inquired about the BOC position on plans for supporting our Natural Heritage Parks. Sam responded, "the BOC is in support of preserving areas." Sam said, he is support of including these special areas but they have to be integrated into the whole plan, and not just a separate issue. Also asked, what is the county's role on spending monies gained from grants and then passing it on to other agencies, i.e. Keizer Rapids. Janet said that she needs a clearer picture of what happens and you have to overlay the economic realities to make those kinds of decisions.
A Motion was made to close the meeting and set up a date for the next meeting. The meeting was adjourned. Next meeting, Thursday, Jan. 13th, 9:00 at PW Silverton Rd. preliminary agenda, review of Parks Commission By-laws, development of general fund wish list.
Minutes approved by Jeff Bickford

Consciousness In The Cell
Three scientists who won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine discovered that molecules of nitric oxide (NO), released by blood vessels, had the ability to relax them. The NO molecule regulates tension in the walls of blood vessels, but doesn't carry out this act by itself. Rather, it functions as a mediator in relaxing the blood vessel.
It is He Who is Allah in heaven and Allah on earth; and He is full of Wisdom and Knowledge.(Qur'an, 43:84)
To understand how this cascade process works, examine the diagram on the next page. For the vessels to relax, first of all some hormones in the blood start the process by sending an alert, binding to receptors found in the blood vessel lining. We can compare this to a domino effect, when a single domino falls and brings down a whole row of others. Immediately after the hormone sets off an alert signal by binding to the receptor, the vessel lining "realizes" what it must do and begins producing nitric oxide. Some of the NO molecules, "knowing" what they have to do as soon as they are released, head quickly for the vascular smooth muscle cells. Entering the cells, they bind to an enzyme.
This is the second step. But in order for the vessel to relax, yet a third step must be reached. Once NO has combined with the enzyme in the smooth muscle cell, GTP (guanosine triphosphate) is converted to cyclic guanosine monophosphate, or cGMP. Obviously, this newly synthesized molecule has a role to play in this cascade and, to bring this about, it makes its way to myosin. Myosin is a necessary protein needed in the contraction and relaxation of muscle cells. Here, the final step has been reached. With the action of myosin the last domino falls, and the muscle cells relax.
Reviewing these steps again, we see that the hormones and cells taking part in this process act in a thoroughly knowledgeable manner. The alerting hormones found in the blood go to the appropriate place, influencing the vessel lining and initiating the process. Similar insight is displayed throughout the rest of the whole process. Every signal makes its way to the correct place in the body, never getting lost in that very dark place, and always meeting with success.
But how can these cells, hormones and molecules effect such conscious actions? Could this consciousness be one of their innate properties? Certainly not! But knowledge and consciousness is certainly necessary to direct all these processes, to let cells know when and what to produce and to inform hormones and other molecules of the correct "address" and show them the way. The inspiration of this infinite knowledge, informing the cells, hormones and other molecules of their necessary actions, emanates from God.
1.Outer layer
2.Smooth muscle
3.Elastic white fibrous tissue
4.Blood vessel's inner lining
5.Hormones make their way through a blood vessel,
6.And bind onto receptors on the blood vessel lining.
7.A chain reaction is initiated
8.The vessel lining begins production of nitric oxide.
9.Nitric oxide molecules reach the vascular smooth muscle cells.
10. Nitric oxide binds onto an enzyme in the cell.
11.In this way, the activated enzyme begins to synthesize cGMP from GTP.
12.cGMP then travels to the myosin and activates it.
13.As a result, the muscle cells relax and dilate.

looks good.
No matter how I looked at all the pics , perhaps they show aerodynamic requirements for top speed -- but the creature is Friken Ugly no matter how you try and look at it. The only redeeming look is if the camera is almost at ground level looking at the snout does it appear to have a bit of "past tense Ferrari Character." Volkswagen has done their best to intrude their ugliness on what used to be one of the most beautiful cars of the World .

WASHINGTON - A scary prank involving unsuspecting people riding in an elevator in Brazil is going viral online.
In the video, a series of people get into the elevator and are unsettled when the lights flicker and go out while they are riding.
That's when an actor gets into the elevator with them, scaring them when the lights come back on.
It's cruel, but entertaining as the reactions vary from stunned to genuine fright.

This year, the definition of a manicure has gone from a simple polish using the latest nail colour from the runway to adding some serious bling to your look. Nail lengths are longer and sharper and a touch of glitter polish has been replaced by 3D jewels and other nail accessories. So when we stumbled upon Belinda Fountain's blog SoHotRightNail we actually squealed with excitement.
After spending the last 15 years working in finance Belinda Fountain decided to do something a little more creative. But little did she know that within a few months she would become the hottest nail artist in the UK – having quickly been snapped up by fashion editors and fashion bloggers such as Bip Ling.
Inspired by wacky Japanese Harajuku nail art featuring 3D Hello Kitty, bows and hearts, Bel's speciality is a full set of 10 different nails, with an overall colour theme, so of course we had to get in on the act. Check out Shopping Editor Lily Russo's tangerine talons, and our top 10 nail art ideas from the SoHotRightNail blog to be rocking in the gallery above.
Grazia Daily: What nail trend are you most looking forward to for AW12?
Belinda Fountain: I will definitely be rocking textured nails, especially leather!
Grazia Daily: Who is your nailspiration?
Belinda Fountain: I am obsessed with Japanese nail art. Too much is never enough :)
Grazia Daily: Can nails ever be too long?
Belinda Fountain: Yes definitely! I like them long but if you need to function on a daily basis they should be kept at a reasonable length. Short square nails can look just as good so I think it all depends on the individual tbh.
Grazia Daily: Top tips to trying out nail art and 3D on your own?
Belinda Fountain: Anything goes! The most damage caused from 3D'ing is the removal process so just make sure this is done correctly or by a professional. Never pick, peel or force anything off the nail.
Grazia Daily: What made you go from finance to nail art?
Belinda Fountain: I had a bad manicure and thought I could probably do a better job myself. Turns out I was right.
Indeed she was!

I have used this product for years and loved it. They recently changed the formula for the worse. It is more chemically smelling and actually bothered my face, was kind of itchy, when I applied it. This is too bad, I really liked this but will never use it again.

I can't honestly say how well thisproduct performs. I only used it twice and got a headache both times from the perfume. It smells very sweet and orangy, but the smell is very strong.

This stuff is great, it has really gone to work on my 72 years worth of wrinkles and sun damage, and so far, my skin is smoother and firmer.

I just the product yesterday, and used it last night and this morning, the result is awesome. I have really senstive and dehydrated/dry skin, and tried many product and even one expensive European brand, but none cause o irritation, coverage, and moisture this product provided me with. It does have a sweet and candy like smell, however, it's not artifical, it's natural. And I weight result and ingredient more than the smell, no one will smell it at night and during hte day time, just coat an entra light sunscreen that has great smell. i love this product, with the price iherb offers, it's totally awesome

RICHMOND, Va. - The body of a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who had been reported missing has been found.
Petersburg police say David Primeaux's body was found Friday in Charles City County. He was 62.
Petersburg police said in a news release that a preliminary investigation indicates Primeaux's death was a suicide. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause and time of death.
An online resume indicates that Primeaux had worked at the university since 1996. Primeaux was reported missing on Thursday. At the time, police said Primeaux may have been in danger, but did not specify what kind.

Syria: why intervention will not work
As the death toll from Syria's uprising climbs into the hundreds, the international community is divided over whether to adopt stronger measures against the regime. We also look back on how the protests erupted and why they are focused on the small city of Dera'a. Finally, after five years of conflict, Palestinians reunite as Hamas and Fatah reach a reconciliation deal.

Post subject: New to the game. Any tips for running a GURPS PD campaign?
Hello, I just started collecting books and materials for the GURPS version of Prime Directive and I think I have enough gamer friends who like TOS and Trek in general enough to be willing to start up a game. I've played some D&D but never as the DM, and I'm currently playing Traveller (with the previously mentioned group of gamer friends) and am loving it. That's pretty much the extent of my RP experience though and I've never actually run an adventure, let alone a campaign, but I'm getting really serious about wanting to give this game a try.
I'm just starting to familiarize myself with GURPS and getting my head wrapped around the mechanics, and I've downloaded most of the aid materials available on the website and printed some out to organize in a binder for easy reference (along with a free copy of GURPS Lite).
Also, I ordered the 1st edition PD book and Uprising adventure since they were so inexpensive and managed to snag the Franz Joseph Star Fleet Technical Manual for next to nothing on Amazon. Hopefully I can use them as additional reference material and inspiration for coming up with adventures.
I like to think I'm off to a good start, but I know I'm a newbie and would welcome any advice anyone has to offer. Is anyone willing to share some "tricks of the trade"? What are some potential situations and problems I should look out for? Lastly, did I make a severe blunder by choosing to go with the GURPS version instead of D20 Modern even though everyone in the group is familiar with D&D and only one person has ever played GURPS before?
I doubt my group will have trouble adjusting though. GURPS seemed to be the more economical solution and I've heard it does a better job of capturing that "Star Trek" feel (and yes, I know it's "Star Fleet" and technically not "Star Trek", but you know what I mean).

I have a bit of experience as a D&D DM, although, I'm an absolute noob when it comes to the SFU. As far as running the game, Pretend that you know all the rules, but accept the input and vibe of your gaming group. After all, it's the gaming group that makes a good game, not the DM(Dungeon Master). In my opinion, the SFU is a much richer environment to run a game in than the D&D world, so you have that going for you. Gurps vs D20 doesn't amount to a hill of beans. Use your own intuition to figure out what your group has the most fun with. As DM, you will control secretly the really important die rolls, (which you will have to lie about at times to make sure the story maintains it's integrity and everyone has fun).KEEP THE STORY as the main focus, and exert effort into playing as the NPC's(non playing characters) and make them interesting. Reward your group for whatever effort you see them making and "punish" them for the lack there off. Ambient music also makes a big difference in my experience. I hope these tips help you. I know that one day I will be FORCED to run a prime directive campaign.

Thanks for the advice.
The more I think about it, the more I really want to go with GURPS instead of D20 since it will start everyone out (including me) on fairly even footing instead of running a game where I'm not as familiar with the system as my D&D-buff friends. You're right though, it really doesn't matter as long as I can figure out how to keep things fun and interesting.
I haven't come anywhere close to deciding on any kind of specifics for the campaign, but I'm playing around with a few ideas. The two that seem most appealing to me right now are:
1) Space station crew, like K-7 but maybe on the Romulan border or something like that.
2) Frigate crew, using the frigate deck plans included in the Federation source book that I just purchased from my local gaming store.
Of course I may just go a different direction entirely. Everything is sort of up in the air at the moment while I soak in as much information about this game as I can. I might just scrounge up some Star Trek comic books and such to find some ideas for various plot lines.
Are there any other sites out there for Prime Directive players and fans? Google doesn't give me much to go on besides various reviews, forum posts, and some source books available at a handful of online stores.

I can give you lots of advice aboutthe d20 version, but if I were you, I'd PM the forum member: jeffr0.
He ran the GURPS Prime Directive events at Origins and did an awesome job. I didn't get to participate in them, but from comments made by those who did - I really missed out.
All 3 of sessions were full and he was turning people away from the last two... all this through word-of-mouth by the participants in the first one! Players there were asking what other cons he'd be running GURPS PD at and will he be back at Origins next year?
That make him GURPS resource #1!

(Attempt to clear up some rumours here: I'm not sure there was time for word-of-mouth about my sessions to impact PD sales... and it was my first two sessions that I had to turn people away-- so I figure attendance there was more to do with convention early birds that really wanted to do sf role-playing and that were really chomping at the bit to game. Also... as to the 10% of players that were giving positive feedback... well... the negative people kept their opinions to themselves, so we'll never have an objective rating beyond my own overinflated views! I really think most of the "word of mouth" people are talking about originated with my own reports!)
Random advice:
1) The biggest time sink in GURPS is the character creation process. It took me about twelve hours to work up a set of six characters. (I hate learning new software, but I have to admit... the official char-gen software available on e23 is probably worth it.) However... once you are reasonable fluent in a few GURPSy things, you really do not have to crack the rule books during play!
2) The vast amounts of GURPS material can be daunting... but GPD already pulls out the relevant bits for trek gaming. The rules are pretty darn good, but there is a learning curve with them. In my experience, it is worth the effort-- just try to spread the learning across several sessions instead of all at once. Con-players really don't care about the rules, but a consistent approach will matter more the longer your local group plays.
3) Cliches are the way to go-- if your players don't know what to do, you're being too elaborate. Most rpg-plots can be adapted to any universe or premise... especially if you are running GURPS. Go with something that you are comfortable with and something that your players will think is cool. (However, don't expect your players to be able to articulate what they want-- if you don't already know their play styles, you will probably have to adapt what you're doing while you get a "read" on them.)
4) Game mastering is something that you can only learn by doing... and every group and GM will have their own style and approach. There is no textbook for this, so just jump in and start running games. As long as the players get to be "Big D*** Heroes" they will (hopefully) cut you some slack. Con games, regular gaming group games, play-by-post games, and games with kids all have different constraints and parameters.
5) Advice. There's a lot of expert gamers on the web... but their help can be a bit much... especially when they know too much about things that are irrelevant to running games. And face it... they wouldn't be spending so much time on the web if they had a regular group. If I were you, I'd banish the idea that you are somehow doing things wrong: you are the GM... you're right by definition as long as your players are entertained. Drinking from the fire-hose of gamer-opinion can be counter-productive if you're just starting out. (That said, answers to specific rules questions can be had in minutes over on the sjgames forums.)
At Origins, I told players, "if anything happens in this session that contradicts established continuity, it's... uh... because you're in a parallel universe that is slightly different from TOS and/or the official GPD setting."
Good luck with your game. Feel free to post any more questions you might have as this advice is extremely general....

Hi Mr Tricorder!
RPGs are a very diverse hobby and there are plenty of ways to play. None of them are "right", so much as "right for the individuals involved". One man's meat is another man's poison and all that. So anyone's advice should be seen in that light: what works for them might not work for you.
With that in mind, and remembering that this is all stuff coming from my own perspective and as I say, might not work for you or the people you play with, I can give the following general advice for running rpgs.
1) Table > GM
A lot of games say that the GM is in charge and can do whatever he pleases. This isn't really true, because at the end of the day, if the GM does enough stuff the players don't like, they won't show up for the next session.
In this context, when I say "table" I mean "everyone at the table who's involved in the game", which is the players and the GM. Games are actually run by consensus of everyone there, and when you all agree that things are working well, that's when the game is most fun.
2) Talk!
You can just ask people things during the game. Don't, as GM, feel that you need to make everything run perfectly and seamlessly all the time. If you don't know a rule, don't panic. Suggest something which seems reasonable to you and see how the players react. A good example in Gurps is deciding which sis the right skill for an action. If you can't decide whether a specific task should require an Electronics or Engineering roll, ask everyone at the table what they think. It also gives people more to do and engages them with what's going on even when their character is not there.
3) Player =/= Character
I'm not a Federation captain, but I play one in a game. The guy I'm supposed to be controlling has done years of training and has years of experience. So do I... but in completely different things and in a different century!
Basically what I'm saying is that my character knows way, way more about the Federation, Star Fleet and starship systems and tactics than I ever will. So when I (the player) have my character (the starship captain) do something which is pretty stupid and a trained officer should know better, then TELL ME! If I still want to do it, that's fine (if I still think it's a good idea, or if I think it's good for making the plot interesting, or whatever) then I will, but if I'm missing basic stuff that would be general knowedge or instinct to my character, I need to know that.
4) Group character creation
Get everyone together for a preliminary session where you'll all discuss what game you'll play and who the characters will be. During this you need to decide where and when the game will be set, who the character will be and what the tone is. Once you're all agreed on the campaign frame ("Traders who own their own ship", "Prime team just at the start of the General War", "Crew of a Federation CA during Operation Unity") you need to figure out who everyone is playing. You don't have to do the number crunching or work out any stats at this point, just what the characters backgrounds and personalities and what their job is. This makes sure you get a well-rounded group of characters who will be compatible and will work together (not 4 people all turning up with emotionless Vulcan scientists!).
Basically, make sure everyone's happy with the campaign, and with everyone's character.
Sometimes, a few sessions down the line, a player will find that a character is just not as much fun to play as they first thought and they'll want to change it. Again, as long as everyone's happy with the new character, why not?
5) Engage the players
The most important thing really is to make sure everyone is having fun. If players aren't engaging, it's a good idea to get them to input stuff into the game. Especially at the start. Get them to describe what their character is doing and how they usually accomplish that.
"Engineer, it's 1100 hours. You're doing something in the engine room, what is it?"
"Chief medical officer, you're in sickbay and someone's been rushed in with a serious injury. Who is it and what happened?"
This sort of thing can really get players invested in what's going on. they're no longer passive participants, they're actively contributing the what's going on!
You might want to approach this with caution, if players throw you a curve-ball the important thing to do is not to panic. If they come uop with something you think is stupid, then discuss it as a table and until everyone's happy with what's going on.
Some Gurps-specific stuff:
The rules for playing Gurps are fairly simple, but character creation is a fairly complex undertaking. New players who're unfamiliar with it can be overwhelmed and at first it seems much more complex than it really is. To this end, I'd suggest that you do the number crunching for the players, at least at first. Take their idea for a character, create them using the gurps rules, give it to them for the first session (or before if there's time) and let them make changes as you go along.
I hope some of that helps!

In my case I usually follow this pattern with dealing with new games system.
1) Start small: Meaning a small group in a small environment and as the game progress the environment extendeds progressively. It allow the players to familiarize themselves with the setting.
2) Fewer rules: Start 'Lite', keep the basic mechanic and temporarely put aside some of the more complexe stuff -but inform the players they will be introduced later- this way you can reduce the learning curve and make it more progressive by adding small bits when the basic stuff is mostly mastered.
3) Check your rules before running an event: Especially if you know you will probbablyhave a major fight, check the again the combat rules and the character 'special abilities'. It helps make it go smoother.
4) DIY Cheat Sheet. Using Excel or Word, make youself (and for your player) a cheat sheet that you can all use to remember what ot do and how (and for the GM, put in page numbers for quick reference).
Hope it helps.

Thank you all so much for your advice!
Much of this I already figured out through ovbservation, but it's great to have it reiterated here, and if/when things start to go wrong, I can refer back to this thread to see how I can get things back on track.
I'm planning on just working with GURPS Lite and whatever is included in the PD source material and staying away from the full-blown GURPS books. That should help keep the complexity down. I'll be talking things over with my group tonight when we get together to play Traveller. By the way, does anyone know how the Traveller version of PD is coming along?
Also, it looks like I can use Star Trek Online to create character portraits for most of the Federation PC races. I don't know about you all, but I always have an easier time getting into my character when I can see what he looks like.

GURPS Rules I like and use regularly:
1) Skill and Attribute rolls-- it's always pretty clear which ones to use, even though you can end up with scads of stuff on the sheet. One tip: I eliminate skills and abilities that *everyone* has... so no "Spacer" skill and no Star Fleet immunization advantages in my game.
2) Social Skills-- if I recall, it's get an automatic "good" reaction if you win a quick contest... usually vs. Will, I think. Look it up. Love it!
3) ROF to-hit bonus and multiple hits for rolling under your target by multiples of your recoil rating. Sounds complex, but it's a really great rule. Then for dodge... each extra hit is an additional -1 to dodge... so getting hit with 3-4 shots can really ruin your day even if your dodge is a 10.
4) Tactical combat-- I really like to get out the map and figures.... It might seem daunting when you're starting out, but it really does work well, in my opinion. Either way... be sure to use appropriate fight-scene music.
5) The rules for knock-down and shock make a decent HT score essential for combat monster characters. The HT checks to keep standing when your hits are negative is also good.
6) The first aid and surgery and healing rules... with that crazy inter-species modifier chart that is in GPD. (I thought that last thing was kind of silly at first, but it actually works in game.)
If you mess up any of the above, but keep the story going smoothly in a session... then you did the right thing. If you read up on the nuances between sessions... then you also did the right thing. (Playing by the rules means that when something bad happens to the players, it isn't just your whim that's causing it. Actually... when the players overcome problems that emerge directly from their own mistakes... that's not only fun, but it is also very dramatic. Roll with it! I try to allow for some sort of "save" if the players mess up badly, but if they fail their recovery rolls... I let 'em suffer!)
"Learn by dying": don't be afraid to kill people in the first session. You don't have to be evil about it, but it can be a good way for players to learn that things are dangerous and they can't just stick their hands in a wood chipper for nothing. Have some extra characters handy to serve as stand-ins.
Also also:
I hate having a planning session before the games. If the players have never played, let 'em choose from pre-gens in a teaser session... THEN talk about what kind of character they want. (How can they talk about it if they don't know anything about the way the game works...?) On the other hand... GURPS can pretty much translate any character concept directly. But still... if the GM makes the pre-gens, he can rig the characters to fit the story he has in mind. Improvising a story for a weird random group of weirdos can be a real challenge!

Thanks again.
I finally got my GPD core rulebook in the mail today, but it's the wrong edition. The description on Amazon didn't state which edition it was, but the picture was clearly of the fourth edition cover. I just made a claim and am waiting for a response, but I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck with this one and have to fork over some more money and wait another week to get the right edition.

Thanks for the link. I really appreciate the help.
My Traveller group cancelled the other night, but I went over some things with a couple of friends in the group yesterday. We went over some of the basics of GURPS and some ideas for characters and adventures. We're probably going to do some sort of Romulan border story with possibly an early years setting, but I may move that to a later time period to make things work more easily.

"Sick and Sicker"
I was intrigued by the reviews of this book and with all the hype I found myself wondering throughout the first half what the fuss was about. It seemed a little boring. The second half made up for the slow beginning, in fact I almost wanted to go back and listen to the first part again to see what I may have missed. My advice is to pay attention to the beginning and it will evolve. It was the perfect twisted story of two twisted people that truly deserved each other. It certainly keep me listening to see what bizarre thing would happen next. The narrators were excellent. Definately a case of sick and sicker!!!
"Always get a second or third opinion"
As a Nurse I always tell my patients, get a second opinion or a third or a fourth and always have an advocate with you when you go to a hospital. This book kept my interest and I was thankful that Susannah had parents that were amazing advocates for her and kept getting those opinions till they found Dr. Najar who saved her life! What a scary experience she had. She is a very lucky woman!
"You Must Buy This Book!!"
I love Liane Moriarty, her books keep you guessing from beginning to end. She has the rare talent of combining humor with serious topics without being insensitive. In this wonderful mystery/comedy/commentary on modern life and helicopter parents she is at the top of her game. To give any hints would give away the story. Other reviewers have done a great job, so I can only add that this book will resonate with any parent or educator. It will keep you listening and the ending will not disappoint! MUST LISTEN!!!
"Didn't mind the narrator!"
I enjoy Greg Iles, all his books keep you listening or reading, they are fast moving and dont disappoint. I can honestly say that I didnt think the reader was that bad! He wasnt great-but he didnt get on my nerves or make me want to stop listening. I guess I am in the minority here but I really didnt mind him. The end of this book got a bit ridiculous but its fiction- so anything can happen. I was interested to see that this is the first in an upcoming trilogy. I will be happy to see what the next book brings!
"Wonderful bookclub selection!"
I started listening to this book and got turned off by the character of Annie Oh after about an hour and quit. My mom read the hard copy and told me to try again. I am so glad that I listened to her. Once I got into the story I was hooked. Wally Lamb is a master at character development. He never shies away from gritty stories and writes such realistic characters its hard to believe they are not real. He must have quite a bit of training in psychology. This story explains how and why the effects of child abuse go on and on for generations - a truly tragic crime. This is not a happy ending story and it leaves you with so much to consider. My bookclub ended up reading it and it was one of our favorites, discussion went on for hours! This is a gem you cannot pass up! The narrators were wonderful and helped keep all the characters defined. Have Wally Lamb narrate the character of Orion Oh, is just perfect and adds so much to the storytelling!
""Food Porn" got boring"
I love Maisie Dobbs, so I eagerly starting listening to this audio. First off the narrator did a horrible job with the male voices, they should have had two narrators or more. Second the story was slow moving and especially the endless boring descriptions of food, ie: food porn. I was going to just stop listening when I got to the millionth description of another boring meal but I kept going for some masochistic reason. I understand the basic premiss of this book, war is hell and in a way nobody ever really "wins". However, human beings don't change if history tells us anything. Ms. Winspear would have been better off writing another Maisie Dobbs story
"What if....."
I tried reading Donna Tartt's previous books and couldn't get into them. Perhaps I will try the audios. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book- I will admit that it could have benefitted from a better editor. However, I did not not get bored. I found myself immersed in the story and I really enjoyed living in Theodores crazy world.I thought the narrator was excellent. I won't go into the story since there are so many reviews, and yes it was a bit far fetched in many instances, but that is what fiction is about. To take us to another world, another life and let us imagine the "what if's...."
"Great Beach Read"
I enjoyed this book, it wasnt original or exciting but it was well done and a fun listen. I liked the various narrators in different voices, it added something to the story. Most of the characters had their flaws but they were likeable. You find yourself rooting for them! I would recommend this as a great beach read or to listen on a car trip. I love JoJo Moyes, she doesnt disappoint!
"Fast moving and entertaining"
Is this a great mystery novel? NO. Is it a decent way to spend your listening time? Maybe. It wasnt that original but it did keep my interest. I would have liked a more twisted ending.I enjoyed the performance by Simon Prebble. Wouldnt be my first choice if I had only a few precious credits to spend but if nothing else appeals to you its not a bad choice.
"Doesn't stand the test of time"
I found this book to be horribly boring and dated. Frances McDormand did a fair job of narrating but is a better actor than reader. Perhaps in 1970 this book and the subject matter was fresh and controversial but for 2014 it's commonplace and normal and the writing is not good enough to stand the test of time. Don't waste your credits, watch reruns of 1970's TV shows instead.
"Donoghue + Hvam = entertainment"
I am a fan of both Ms. Donoghue and Ms. Hvam, so imagine my happiness when they collaborate to entertain me. This book was engaging and interesting. I did find it a bit confusing because the author kept going back and forth between time periods, but that seems to be a writing technique that is very popular now. The storyline, set in San Francisco in the late 19th century was fascinating and I learned a few things I had never heard about ie: baby farms and cross dressing as a crime. The characters were not particularly likeable, except for Jennie, but I did feel that the author delved into what made them the people they were. I enjoy historically based novels because in an entertaining way they bring up facts I wasnt aware of, that I can later research. Ms.Hvams narration was excellent as always, she is able to conjure up many different accents realistically and move between them flawlessly! Despite this not being a perfect novel, I think it's entertaining and worth your time and credit.
