Prabhus and Matajis, PAMHO, AGTSP
In the past my comments got edited to the point of misrepresenting me, but here goes:
Where scriptural argument fails, why not be practical? For example, there was no dearth of family women when Jahnava Ma became guru. What's more, she represented a family woman rather than a renunciate, exhibiting motherly affection appreciated by all. FDG is bad timing, therefore, when we consider that the divorce rate in ISKCON is soaring, and the children, our future hope, suffer the worst from it.
And that leads to the problem of what sort of women will institutionalized FDG attract? Also if you favor one special interest group, then you must expect others to clamor for their rights next, such as gays and lesbians.
We would be better off to act as the Catholic Church has by evading these issues. Let it become a "sideline" as Prabhupada put it and emphasize the norms for women according to his teachings in Srimad Bhagavatam.
Family life is the best situation for women. For one thing, caring for children awakens motherly affection and behavior. Also a husband is not afraid to chastise his wife whereas a male sannyasi would most likely hesitate, and a wife can serve her husband in personal ways which are not possible with sannyasis. And doing such menial service does not make her a doormat, ether; when we see a male disciple serving his male guru in such a way do we consider him a doormat? Rather, a wife serving her husband gets the same benefits that a male disciple serving his guru does, regarding sense control, service mood and so on.
With a return of family women at home, we'll also see the return of dedicated mother's in-law and grandmothers, because without their involvement, young wives and mothers cannot thrive. There are currently many young women that need mentoring and support, rather than depending upon society to pressure their already overworked husbands or outsiders to accept what was previously done by experienced family women.
When there are newborns or illnesses in a community also, or anyone in need of a hand or listening ear – mature and childless women, too, are so helpful. It is nature's way.
And by nature's arrangement so many young women today are turning home rather than pursuing careers. ISKCON is behind the times. So really the best thing to do is wait rather than make new policies.
In other words, as long as there is doubt about the FDG issue, please don't.

Respecting Our Women In Iskcon
So the awkwardness discussed could be accredited to what Canakya Pandit called the most painful time- youth or immaturity. In this way, ISKCON struggles. Prabhupada called it getting over the fear of being persons or the attraction for impersonal philosophies (Bg 4.10p). Instead of accepting distress in relationships as a fact of life, we try to make material, artificial adjustment. We may be so afraid of disagreement and dissension, we eventually want utopia, but we should understand that disagreement and discord are just another part of dealings in any genuine relationships. Meanwhile, ISKCON should become neutral to these special interest groups, such as equal rights for women, and promote Krishna consciousness instead. Then respect is natural.
(Correction: the quote in the previous post is from Bg 16.7p)

Pusta Krsna prabhu, thank you for your kind words. I truly feel undeserving and I am faulty in speaking harshly towards senior devotees, but you give back kind instruction instead.
I find it impossible to remain angry at senior devotees. I am always indebted to you for your dedicated service to Srila Prabhupada's mission. If it were not for you all, I would not be here today. Besides, the source of my anger is not from this article; the issue here is only minor. My real unhappiness comes from many events in the past, and I suppose I am deriving some sense gratification by lamenting and getting some negative attention over it. I think it is also a test that comes with old age; the older we are the more we want some recognition for all the hard labor and sacrifice we've made. As for me, I have nothing to show and therefore fall for maya's distractions to argue with others over petty things.
That said, I still find it interesting that you admit that a man's ego is strongly aimed towards lording it over a woman. It confirms that caution is in order. And may I add that women are not perfect either; I have noticed you never said one word to criticize a woman. This is true in many of the men I know, my husband included. Very protective of women. I can safely guess that you've never suffered at the hands of a dysfunctional mother. Back in the 50's, that word referring to family had not yet become common.
In that sense, I am concerned that women may have a tendency to take advantage of that. Prabhupada said it in the Bg that today women have become very puffed up and quite frankly. I find it true, from much experience. Agreeable with the Puranas, I do not find many women to be angels beyond the surface. I have a lengthy history of discovering this not only in other women but in my own bodily nature. But you and Keshava prabhu can only see the good.
I hope you will both forgive me for being so disagreeable. I have never had the chance of knowing either of you, so it is nothing personal. Lately, I'm just struggling to transcend all the damage a feminist mayavada upbringing has brought to my life.
"Although the bull, or the personality of religion, and the cow, the personality of the earth, knew perfectly well that the personality of Kali was the direct cause of their sufferings, still, as devotees of the Lord, they knew well also that without the sanction of the Lord no one could inflict trouble upon them. " (SB 1.17.18p)

It is because modern education has artificially devised a puffed—up concept of womanly life (Bg 16.7p). Women are taught to put themselves first. Even the so called "grhastha team" preaches that. And the men being overattached to them, they don't get any chance for improvement. Also, worn out and overworked, there is less time for relationships.
"Respect, care and love" sounds artificial to me, because feminists propagate this; it is superficial unless we love Krishna. For that, we need a lot of patience with each other and tolerance instead of rights. Then it is automatic; it need not be taught. When the service mood is there and everything works out. So, of course, the focus must be Krsna consciousness; then all these discrepancies can work out.

And I think the ISKCON family is a lot different than a normal family where brothers and sisters do not even think of illicit sex. That sort of purity between non family members that liberal devotees seek would be extraordinary. Those who want adaptations to the modern realities, therefore, are the ones who seem to expect instant "purity of existence".
The impositions for keeping the sexes apart are found in Srila Prabhupada's books. The caution also. I never got that information anywhere else. True, a section of our society wants to adapt his instructions. Many of us do not, because it is also true, and we can see practically, that our congregational Indian women make the best mothers and wives. They exhibit a healthy balance we all wish for, but they come from countless generations of good training and role models.
We all know that freedom from the bodily concept takes much time and our understanding of devotional service is an individual matter. That is why, I am sorry to say, I found this article nit picky.
From the madhyama platform, women really are the biggest challenge for men (and vice versa). Prabhupada says that if you are lenient, women will be troublesome. It takes one to know one, so please believe me that many women are not so unconscious. Their hearts are sharp and sly and in their youthful, unmarried state bent on one thing only (not referring to the proliferation of homosexuals today). This is the sort of preaching that should be going. It is why many of us joined.
I have never seen an article written about respecting men. Here I see the usual criticism. But we all know that in the ultimate sense, men are not the problem as vice versa. Lack of Krsna consciousness is, which is why the feminist movement began and men became free from responsibility. As a result, the grandsons of those men have even less an idea what that means and yet we blame everything on them and, being men, they just tolerate it and nothing gets done. A vicious cycle. In other words, how can men give women "the respect they deserve" when they themselves have had their positions usurped? Women are so capable today, they are not very much needed. And now, superwoman wants to give him his job back? So, of course their superiority over women is not deserved, they must feel that, too. Sadly, the majority have been reduced to almost women themselves. And from my point of view, distant dealings is not what compounds the problem.

But to the average reader, I'd like to explain my understanding just a little more (unless Dandavats censors me for the fourth time).
First of all, I haven't witnessed any of the "awkwardness" described (makes me wonder if anyone here lives in a temple). And I don't know anyone who "keeps apart" artificially". I think the real problem is when people lump all women into one group like the Vaishnavi Ministry does, or they lump all men together, expecting them to act and think the same (the way they want them to), when actually there are different natures. Like I said earlier, some of us like separation of the sexes. Maybe it is from bad experiences of the past, coming from dysfunctional families, or just that we prefer to avoid familiarity which breeds contempt, but I think it'd be "artificial" to force us to be something we are not. Also, many of the ladies in my temple seem to prefer standing at the back of the temple. It is only naturally because some young ladies happen to be very shy (as some men are actually modest). It is not fair to say they do this artificially. I greatly admire one girl in particular who is very soft spoken and shy at the temple, but does sankirtana service very enthusiastically. Her shy and gentle nature is very beautiful. The VM is good for old women who no longer have hormones or youthful desires to deal with. As women age, they naturally get more assertive and knowledgeable and with sagging faces and breasts, we shouldn't have to worry too much if they give class in front of anyone, especially if they spent most of their lives as good devotees, chaste wives and loving mothers.
Also it was asked, "Each time a male devotee interacts with a female, should it always be tinged with fear?" If it is a healthy fear, yes. Better if women and men mind their own business and interact when necessary for Krishna's service. In BTG [Sept. Oct. 2012], Gunavatara prabhu wrote about this ("Religious Views Toward Women in the Public Sphere"). But like I said, the many types of men and women is what keeps things interesting. It seems that some women and men must interact with the opposite sex or they'll go crazy and make agitation. As far as I know, the sudra class is given this facility for less restrictions. In other words, some people are more grossly sensual and emotional, while others more intellectual or self satisfied. For the latter, interacting with the opposite sex is a duty for spreading Krishna consciousness.

In conclusion, this article appears to be just another attempt to make (the socially engineered) women nod, but reads (many of the comments, too) as a holier-than-thou mood against neophytes as well as women themselves. It implies that women need something. The same mistake is made by the feminists- that we are needy. We are victims, etc. Srila Prabhupada, on the other hand, has given back our dignity. He points out that women are already powerful, but like any other power, women must be carefully educated and properly encouraged, so not to misuse it. I feel this article has done the opposite, and the author has smartly regretted it.

In a new comment I wrote:
"I understand the point of this post regarding maturity in devotional service, that we should not make renunciation our aim rather than love for Krishna, but the title threw me off……"
But whatever I had to say at that point was once again censored by Dandavats staff, I suppose, because I do not see it posted and it has been at least 3 days ago. So to make it very indirect, let's just say we have to be careful not to show favor to special interest groups, because then we alienate others OR we will have to include others and that gets complicated and so many artificial demands arise. Better to remain neutral and stick to the standards given by Srila Prabhupada. Also was included this quote:
Hari-sauri: So we have to give allowances to such people. We have to give allowance?
Prabhupäda: Allowance? It is not allowance, but give him instruction. It is up to him to follow or not to follow.
Hari-sauri: But we cannot give any compromise.
Prabhupäda: No. This is the way. "But you are not able? All right, take little more time."
Hari-sauri: So, say like one point now that's coming up more and more is that these married couples, the women want a divorce or get another husband.
Prabhupäda: But we should not implicate.
Hari-sauri: So we cannot encourage divorce.
Prabhupäda: No. We do not meddle matters in that way very much. That is a sideline.

Kesava Krsna prabhu: I tried to post an apology explaining my harsh words, but Praghosa prabhu says he does not wish to bring up past controversy at this time. The unpublished comment was a major breakthrough for me anyway, to come to grips with a problem my family and I have been struggling with since 1985.
Puskaraksa prabhu: As for the line about sudras that I wrote, what I meant was that it appears to be a common excuse to mingle etc., since a sastric verse says we are all born that way in Kali (or lower). Sort of how the Christians say, "I'm a sinner" and so…I'll just stay that way.
But students of Srila Prabhupada have been given knowledge and mercy to transcend our lower natures to act in better capacities. For example, an ordinary hippie girl can be elevated by Krishna consciousness to good behavior, etc. Lord Vishnu says:
"Such women whose early life was spent with nonmeritorious and vicious indulgences and in their later period become pativrata, also attain My abode." (Padma Purana)
Another example is the sudra -like vaisya or ksatriya of Kali, but as the "Varnasram- Why Now" article noted, people can be raised to devic vaisyas, devic sudras and so on. Krishna says the qualities of the brahamana are what attract Him.
"The stage of a devotee, which attracts the transcendental affection of the Lord, does not develop unless one has developed the qualities of a brähmana… Those who are less than a brähmana by qualification cannot establish any relation with the Lord. " SB 1.14.34
At any time, of course, like the mouse that changed into a lion and back again, one can fall back due to offenses.
The definition of "sudra" is another topic.
Further thoughts for everyone: It may be difficult to live with the opposite sex in the same temple, but it seems the real test would be whether we could live in a temple without the opposite sex, only seeing them as daily visitors and guests. I find it interesting that grhastha disciples of Ramanujacarya lived in the temple with other celibate men, while their wives lived on the outside. It would seem that such situations would nourish real comaradie between men. The gopis also demonstrate how social restrictions facilitate true love.
I for one am fascinated by the idea of parda, which still exists in India to some degree for "high class" ladies. I got a chance to play around with the idea while living there (It's easy to live like the rich in India) and wrote about it on Google.

The only women I've ever seen disrespected in Iskcon are those who act like men so really, what is the problem? I don't even consider them real women.
You men who support free mixing between the sexes in the name of so-called love and caring for others, shame on you. Don't expect the majority of people to be on the platform of paramahamsa Srila Prabhupada. This is minimizing his position. Secondly, stop trying to impress the ladies; stick up for your brothers instead if you want real women to respect YOU.
Prabhupada has repeatedly warned us about men overattached to women. In positions of leadership, they are the real cause of all society's present troubles.
Women should earn respect by behaving properly, not because its politically correct or the above mentioned men want to appear better than others or to get subtle sex out from female associates. Women have been artificially respected for over 40 years now and look at the result!
These same men are the ones who say Prabhupada was influenced by Islam. They are the faithless mentioned in "Prabhupada on Trial" by Rochford. Yet, with much foresight, Prabhupada clearly warned us against such accusations in SB purport 1.10.16:
"It is only the less intelligent persons not well versed in the history of the world who say that observance of separation of female from male is an introduction of the Mohammedan period in India."
Sure, we are all sudra, but show enough love for Prabhupada by transcending this nature enough to set the right example for future generations and the world.

I think varnasrama already exists, it's just women who are out of place, and so there is far reaching social disturbances.

Puskaraksa prabhu (PAMHO), Interesting quote, especially considered with the following:
sadhana-kale ye paryanta
hrdaya kama ache
se paryanta varnasramadi
dharmera apeksa thake
"At the time of practicing sädhana-bhakti, so long as there is material desire within the heart, one should remain within the confines of the varnasrama system." (Srila Bhaktivinoda Thäkura: Varnasrama and Vaidhi-Bhakti)

What interests me most is the statement:
"Most devotees will not want to work as sudras."
It is true that westerners are afraid of hard physical work. An excellent book to read about this current defect is called "Better Off" by Eric Brende.
Another thought is that most devotees don't understand what a sudra is. It would not be too far off to say that many of us could consider us lucky if we even qualified as one.
I fully agree with the statement about the sudra brahmana or devic sudra, the term I prefer. This internal quality is available to us all. That is the real equality. Material equality is impossible and dangerous.

Voltron Glissa and recur artifacts like a madman.
Planned Replacements:
Options:Mishra's Bauble , Lotus Petal , Promise of Power , Phyrexian Altar , Spine of Ish Sah , Myr Welder , Oblivion Stone , Ratchet Bomb , Steel Hellkite Necrotic Ooze
I had a deck similar to this. I ran more interesting artifacts like those I suggested above. Really you have to evaluate the strength of each as it is played and what it does in your hand. I especially loved cheap artifacts that required little mana dump and could come back and do crazy things.
If we're talking stupid combo things we can go Memnite +Grave Pact +Arcbound Ravager . It's a free wrath that only kills your opponents and prevents regeneration and protection from player. Oh did I mention you get an insane amount of tokens on arcbound ravager? Grab him a pair of Swiftfoot Boots and go to town on the table. Probably one of the most degenerative combo's I've ever done with my glissa.
Also if you love the mindslaver effect like I do grab yourself a Sorin Markov because free mindslaver is free.
I see the urborg, but a lack of swamp ramp synergy cards like Liliana of the Dark Realms , Magus of the Coffers , Crypt Ghast , Nirkana Revenant .
Also with the artifacts bouncing to your hand you really need mana to play them quickly and get second uses. For this reason I feel Sword of Feast and Famine is an auto include for untapping lands.
Hatred is an easy win condition. Filth is good tech for swamp matchups also combos well with urborg. Phyrexian Obliterator makes opponents sac things. Painful Quandary stops storm and combo. No Mercy makes you less of a potential target during political shenanigans. Dread is a creature no mercy.
Overall I think the list needs some tweaking to ensure you will be fast early, last out the midrange aggro, and finish out the combo pillow fort players.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Sunday, July 7, 2013
Authorities in Russell County have recovered the body of a Hoisington man who went missing Saturday evening at Wilson Lake.
Russell County Sheriff John Fletcher said the report came in around 8:45 p.m. from the Rock Town area of the lake.
It was reported that a 38-year-old Hoisington man had tried to swim across one of the coves in the area after the boat he was on had mechanical problems.
The two people who remained on the boat told authorities that the man went under the water and did not resurface. The search was called of late last night but resumed at daylight.
Using sonar, the man's body was found and pulled from the lake around 9:30 a.m. Sunday.
"Alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor in the drowning," Fletcher said.
The man's name has not been released pending notification of relatives.
Staff at Wilson State Park in Russell County tell KAKE News that authorities are searching Wilson Lake for a missing boater.
At this time, officials with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism and the Russell County Sheriff's Office could not be reached for additional details.
Updates will be provided as soon as more information is released.

Good product but the sword pic is kind of cheesy and it was hard to see on the item pic when I ordered it.
The 1st pool que was warped and was definitely used. After returning and obtaining another one, the same situation occurred. The 2nd one was also warped, but did not appear as used. Made in China!!
Can carry down the road to the pool shop, haven't had to replace the tip yet
i received 2 pool cues and the blue sword cue is warped the fire cue is straight.

re: Official Puro Match/DVD Discussion Thread (NO SPOILERS)
I can't think of a single time in his entire career that Funk was shit. Not even in 2006 when he could barely stand up. I honestly think his run in Japan annihiliates Brody's, who had far more shit than great (not necessarily bad
, but bad performances. Hansen or a Funk brother should get most of the credit for the good matches).
There's times where I still like Brody a lot, but he's either wrestling with Hansen or wrestling against Terry when that happens. Sometimes both. Can't think of any great Brody match where he's actually been the best guy in there. The '81 RWTL final is a match I adore, but both Funks and Jimmy freakin' Snuka were outworking him. Brody can work a crazy brawl really well (I hear his '86 run in World Class is very good), but he can't -- or rather
-- sell worth a shit unless he's in there with the top natives or fellow top gaijin. Hell, there's a match from January '85 in St.Louis and he's sandbagging Ric Flair for 20 minutes. The NWA champ.
Watch the match with Brody and Hansen against Steamboat and Youngblood from the '82 tag league. Steamboat and Youngblood were the top tag team in the top territory in the states, and Brody's treating everything they do as if Scott McGhee and Barry Horowitz are the ones throwing knife edge chops and cross bodies. The fact the match doesn't only turn out good but actually fucking *great* says a Hell of a lot about Stan motherfucking Hansen and his ability to carry that team.

I'm finally revealing my SECRETS on how I have gotten thin and stay thin after having Kira! Who wants to be Skinny After Babies? This was introduced to me from one of my celebrity friends and is the secret to how all the Hollywood stars and athletes stay fit!I mean did you watch the Golden Globes or even the Grammys? Notice how they wear those tight dresses and NEVER have their stomach stick out? Or even a muffin top over their pants?
Have you heard of that CRAZY wrap thing?
Whatever you want to call it!
* The Skinny Wrap
*That Crazy Wrap thing
*The Ultimate Body Applicator
It Works! and you HAVE TO TRY IT!
So just what is this crazy wrap thing? A botanically based, all natural, formula which delivers maximum tightening, contouring, hydrating, toning and firming results. The ingredients promote optimal skin health and skin nutrition. This is NOT water weight loss.
In fact, you should drink half your body weight in WATER while wrapping. Hydration is key.
I'm sure you are wondering, is this a weight loss wrap? Yes it is! Your clothes will fit so much better after one use! It Works body wrap,is a non-woven cloth which can be applied to any area of your body (neck down). One size fits all. I have personally wrapped my stomach, my back (for back fat and love handles), my things and my arms! Men can also wrap their chests! Place it on your area of concern and the wrap will work it's magic! The It Works Skinny body wrap stands out, as the world's first to market body toning and contour wrap in the world! Seriously, it's AMAZING!
What else do I use? I use Thermofit to curb my appetite. Yep, this helps with weight loss too!
I also use the Fat Fighter supplement to block a portion of the fat from the carbs I eat. Perfect for days where I need my pizza fix!
For energy throughout my day, I use the greens!
You can SHOP HERE for all of the products you see above! And as always, if you have any questions, email me or send me a message to my Facebook page here!
Wraps are sold in a box of 4 which is considered a full treatment. Choose the area on your body that you hate the most. Use one wrap for that area, wear it a minimum of 45 minutes up to a few hours. Wear no more than 2 wraps at a time. More is not better. Drink a bottle of water for optimal hydration while wrapped. An all natural cream is already infused on the wrap. The idea is for the cream to penetrate the skin. Do not exercise while wrapped, we do not want you to sweat the ingredient off. The idea is for the cream to penetrate the skin. Once you remove the wrap, massage any remaining cream into your skin. Your results will keep getting better over the next 72 hours since the cream will continue to penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin for 72 hours after the wrap is removed. Results from one wrap will lat 2-6 months depending on your lifestyle and eating and drinking habits. Wrap the same area AGAIN once a week. Until you have used all 4 wraps. Your box of wraps will last a month. Results from a full treatment of 4 wraps are permanently progressive. There is nothing special you have to do, just wrap and go about your day. The wrap works all on its own.Try It.

|Tuesday's NBA Capsules
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:28
The Cavaliers could move up to No. 2 if they beat Milwaukee on Wednesday night and New Jersey beats Chicago, also on Wednesday. If they play like this against the Bucks, they'll surely be counting on the Nets to win and bump them up in the playoff race.
James added six assists in an all-around solid game and led a well-balanced Cavaliers attack that had six players score in double figures.
Joe Smith had 17 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for the Sixers. Willie Green scored 24 points, and Samuel Dalembert added 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Magic 95, Wizards 89
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Magic overcame Antawn Jamison's 48 points and kept up a last-minute push to improve their playoff seeding.
Hedo Turkoglu scored 26 points to lead the Magic, who are sitting in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, but could move as high as seventh if they beat Miami on Wednesday, the last day of the regular season.
If they do move up, it will be largely at the expense of the Wizards, who have lost eight of nine and six straight at home - most of them without their two injured All-Stars, Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler. Jamison tried to carry his team with a season-high performance, but he got scant help from his teammates.
Jamison went 14-for-26 from the field. The non-Jamison Wizards went 14-for-54. But Washington's biggest problem on Tuesday had nothing to do with the absences of Arenas and Butler - the team went 25-for-44 from the free-throw line, including Jamison's 15-for-24.
Pistons 100, Raptors 84
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - Richard Hamilton scored 10 first-half points in a glorified exhibition game for both teams.
Neither team had anything to play for - the Pistons are locked into the Eastern Conference's top seed and the Raptors will be No. 3 - but Detroit coach Flip Saunders didn't want a repeat of his team's feeble loss to Philadelphia.
So, while Toronto's Chris Bosh and Anthony Parker spent the night in street clothes, Detroit played its normal rotation until the game got out of hand.
Unfortunately for the Raptors, Morris Peterson was still on the floor in the final minutes when he appeared to hyperextend his right knee. He limped off the floor, and was helped back to the locker room.
Hawks 118, Pacers 102
ATLANTA (AP) - The Hawks set season highs for points in a quarter and a half as they finished another disappointing season by beating the Pacers. The Hawks missed the playoffs for the eighth straight season, but reached 30 wins for the first time since the 2002-03 season.
Tyronn Lue and Josh Smith each scored 25 points to lead four Hawks with more than 20. Marvin Williams added 23 and rookie Shelden Williams set a career high with 21.
Backup forward Ike Diogu led Indiana with 20 points.
Indiana, eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday for the first time in 10 years, held out forward Jermaine O'Neal with a sore left knee.

It includes never before seen recipes, as well as some of our classic, Middle Eastern dishes, but with a twist; dishes that make me feel like I can entertain a group or even just my family with ease.

Windows 7 Clean Install: Freezes on "Starting Windows" screen
Hey guys, I've been trying to fix this myself but with no luck. Maybe you can give me some tips? I think it is a hardware issue which I have little to no experience with.
It all started when I decided to upgrade to Windows 7 x64 from my Vista x64. I had nothing of importance on the computer, so why not do a clean install and start fresh? It installed fine and rebooted several times until the computer had the Setup Is Checking Video Performance, it froze on that screen. I had to reboot it and now here is my current issue.....
Installation is going fine, goes to Completing Installation and then reboots..Then shows a black screen with blinking cursor for 5 minutes. Then restarts itself and has Windows Recovery Error. I chose Start Windows Normally and it goes to Starting Windows screen with the logo. I've tried letting it sit there for 30 minutes until it restarts itself and states..Windows failed to start. A recent software or hardware change may be the cause..etc etc..
...So basically it's just a constant cycle of Starting Windows screen and Windows Recovery Error screen Unless I press f10 to go into the Boot Options.
If anybody could give any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I already installed Windows 7 on my laptop so I know it's my desktop which is causing the issues..
Gateway FX4710
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 / 2.5 GHz

Thank you! Hopefully this will work for me... I am in the process of doing it now, after LIST DISK it shows Disk 0 (online 596 GB), Disk 1,2,3,4 (All No Media 0 B), then Disk 5 (online 7640 MB)I am cleaning Disk 0 now.. but what is Disk 5? Should I clean that one as well?... And are having all those extra No Media Disks normal?

They could be DVD-ROM and removable media drives, could that be?

Sounds like a USB flash stick or card. Remove it before install.
If install hangs as before, see if you can boot into Safe Mode to update Display driver.
This can also happen if display is outputted via a tv card or projector. Make sure you are plugged into VGA port of video card or onboard graphics.
|My System Specs
|29 Sep 2010
Alright I did all of the steps in the above link. Still crashes in the same spot (Starting Windows) and says..windows failed to start a recent hardware or software change may be the cause, etc etc.. It begins to Start Windows Normally and it crashes at Starting Windows again....
I tried going into Safe Mode where it said, Windows cannot complete installation in Safe Mode... So I pressed Shift+F10 to override that and open Command Prompt, where I soon got into the Device Manager... Attempted to Update Driver Software on my Nvidia, automatic Scan, and it said The best driver software for your device is already installed.
Should I try Uninstalling it all together and see if that helps?
|My System Specs
|30 Sep 2010
Okay, decided to attempt to DISABLE my Nvidia Graphics Card and restart the computer... Gets past Starting Windows screen (yay)..But then I get the blue Windows 7 installation background where it says, Setup Is Starting Services...
Soon after, a pop up states:
The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error.
Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click OK to
restart the computer and then restart the installation.
I've tried formatting the Partition again and reinstalling, but the pop up keeps coming up...
Would uninstalling the Nvidia 9800 from the device manager get me through the installation so I can reinstall it once I get it up and running? Or would that mess everything up even more/have no effect?
|My System Specs
|30 Sep 2010
Did you try the requested restart - with and without the DVD in drive?
I would remove the card if you have onboard display chip to default to in BIOS. Install it after Windows 7.
Try also another card.
|My System Specs
|30 Sep 2010
Yes I tried to restart both ways, same pop up.
Stupid question, but how would I know if I had an onboard display chip?
Also, if I tried another card would I need to uninstall Nvidia driver in Device Manager before I put the new one in? Or would that not make a difference either way?
I have decent experience with computers, not so much experience with drivers. So thanks for your patience
|My System Specs
|30 Sep 2010
Try installing the latest driver for your video card from the Support Downloads webpage for your model. Unzip the driver to a flash stick or CD and then browse to it from the Device Driver tab.
You can't just tell it to upgrade driver and expect it to connect to the web and do it itself in that condition. Provide that driver and any other which is in error in Dev Mgr.

Empty soul comment unintentionally revealing
One of the more notable addresses offered at the recent CPAC conference was given by Rep. Paul Ryan, the noted Republican policy wonk, whose concepts on assisting the poor and hungry always seem to revolve around ways to render them substantially more poor and hungry – for their own good, of course.
On this occasion he chose to attack school lunch programs for low-income children using some spurious story about the uplifting qualities of a brown bag lunch brought from home, as if an empty bag brought from a home with no food in it would be preferable to actual food. Ryan accused Democrats of leaving children with full stomachs and empty souls.
If the congressman truly believes his own ideas, I would suggest he demonstrate their effectiveness by withholding food from his own children and reporting back to us on the subsequent improvement in their souls.
I will give Ryan credit for his considerable expertise on the subject of empty souls. He has once again proved that he is himself the proud possessor of one of the emptiest souls on this planet.

Energy policies contribute to clean, healthy Indiana
Vince Griffin's letter to the editor Anti-coal strategy is harmful to Indiana (March 11) is filled with fallacies.
Blaming potentially higher consumer energy costs on the Environmental Protection Agency and our current president is ridiculous. The bottom line is that all costs for energy companies cut into their profit margin. The energy companies want to maintain economic growth, so their costs are passed on to the consumer.
Further, Griffin argues that new regulations will be expensive and affect all consumers. I suggest that consumers will continue to bear the cost after the energy companies have finished exploiting our environment. We can look to West Virginia and North Carolina and the damage done to the water supplies by coal ash, coal chemicals and air pollution. Guess who pays for the clean up – taxpayers!
I suggest that Griffin read two excellent works by Stephen M. Meyer, a noted MIT professor: The Economic Impact of Environmental Regulation and Environmental Protection and Economic Prosperity. Stop with political scare tactics and right-wing rhetoric in regard to our state of Indiana. Let's bring in companies that believe in protecting our resources instead of taking what they can get and running.
I prefer to live in a clean, healthy Indiana rather then a toxic waste dump.

Gun handling violated basic rules of safety
As many of us try to and would like to make the world a safer place through awareness and education on gun safety, I was appalled at the front-page picture in The Journal Gazette on March 7. Auburn Mayor Norm Yoder appears to be pointing a Thompson submachine gun at FBI Special Agent Robert Allen Jones's head, and with his finger on the trigger, no less.
Gun safety Rule No. 1: Never point a gun at anyone unless you intend to shoot them, no matter how old the gun, or whether you think the gun is loaded or not.
A lot of people have been shot and killed with a gun that was unloaded. One bullet could be in the chamber. Even if you see there are no bullets and the chamber is open and clear, you still make sure the barrel never is in line with anyone.

One of the hottest hotel bar openings of 2013. It's huge, yet still manages to feel cosy. There's no dress code or strict seating so grab a sofa by the fire or make friends with the bartenders on one of the turquoise leather stools along the bar. It's a cross between a gentleman's club and a library with a huge whisky and gin collection, amazing cocktails and live music.

text: Media Desperation: TIME Complains Romney Too Focused on Economy Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 26 Jun 2012 post a comment As we've pointed out time and again, the corrupt media is currently desperate to shift the conversation of the presidential race away from the economy and on to turf that might win their failed president a second term. Namely, the identity politics of race, which has been disguised as "immigration policy" and has been an obsession of Obama's Media Palace Guards for the last ten days. It's a trap. The media currently coordinating with the White House knows it's a trap. Thank God, though, Mitt Romney knows it's a trap and refuses to play. As a result, the media's narrative focus has now laughably turned away from immigration policy and towards Romney refusing to talk about anything but the economy. This is a media narrative borne of desperation for two reasons: 1. Polls show that the last ten days have done nothing to move the needle in Obama's direction. 2. If the focus stays on the economy, Obama loses. Time's Michael Crowley bared all of the corrupt media's backside this morning with a high-profile feature titled: "One-Note Mitt: Is Romney Too Focused on the Economy?" However the Supreme Court rules on Barack Obama's health care law this week, it's still the economy that will likely determine the president's fate—or so Mitt Romney's campaign says. The presumptive Republican nominee's advisers call the election "a referendum on Obama's handling of the economy." With almost comical discipline, Romney steers virtually every topic back to Obama's economic record. In a speech to Latino leaders last week, for instance, Romney dodged some key immigration policy questions while harping on Obama's failure to create more jobs: "Is the America of 11% Hispanic unemployment the America of our dreams?" he asked. "Why would you talk about anything else," one prominent Republican recently asked NBC News. And perhaps it's as simple as that. But what if it's more complicated than that? Two recent presidential elections are remembered primarily as referendums on an ailing economy that cost an incumbent his job–Ronald Reagan's 1980 defeat of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton's win over George H.W. Bush in 1992. But while we remember the defining slogans, "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" and "It's the economy, stupid," both those contests were more complicated in ways that should give Barack Obama some comfort. Even so, Reagan's campaign wasn't singularly focused on Carter's economic record. Reagan extensively blasted Carter on… And blah, blah, blah and "Do you want candy and a ride home, little boy?" Crowley then goes on to try to convince Mitt Romney that staying focused on the economy might be a losing a strategy. Did I mention it's a trap? My main concern is that Republicans might follow Peggy Noonan's strategically foolish move and begin to fall right into this trap. Last week, in her weekly Wall Street Journal column, Noonan said it's time for Romney to present policy specifics -- which gave the left-wing Politico all kinds of pleasure. Conservatives should rejoice over the spine of steel Romney is showing under this pressure and not let themselves give into it -- even off the record. No good can come from Romney giving the corrupt media the specifics it demands. Only pain. First off, you don't need specifics to govern when you have a philosophy. Second, another word for "specifics" is "suicide." The media wants specifics for the same reason Obama wants specifics: to use as weapons with which to bludgeon Romney to death. Look at what's happened over the last ten days. The corrupt media and White House have created an Immigration Death Star with which to destroy Romney, should he be foolish enough to play their game. Romney will release the policy specifics he wants to release when he wants to release them. And if and when he does so, it will likely be from an offensive position, not a defensive one. In the meantime, Obama's Media Palace Guards can go pound sand and make as big of fools as they want of themselves trying to convince Romney he should talk about what they want to talk about and not the only issue voters are concerned with.

DAMN you El Reg, CALL ME A BOFFIN, demands enraged boffin
Re: @stanimir
And don't get me started on the Germans with titles like 'Dr. Dr.' ...
"The Germans", as you like to put it, don't have a class-based society -- this was abolished by law in the Weimar Republic, if I remember correctly.
Instead, degrees like "Dr", "Prof", etc. are highly respected, *because they're earned, rather than inherited*. Holding the title of Ingenieur (engineer, or "Dipl.-Ing.") is something to be proud of, and commands respect. In Germany, there aren't any "maintenance engineers"; they're called what they are: mechanics. And there's nothing wrong with that either, as the vast majority have served an apprenticeship of three years, and really know what they're doing.

Same old story...
all over again. If you've worked in the industry for any length of time, you'd know that more likely than not any employee on the shop floor will have his/her warnings ignored, painted as a doom-monger, and be told that "negativity is unproductive", whilst the good ship "IT Project" plows on towards the abyss under full steam; simply because what must not be, cannot be.
Rather than correcting the course, or abandoning a project and saving huge amounts of money, over-ambitous designs and overly complex architectures are being adhered to because of a perceived "need to be on the forefront of technology".
I've been in the situation of having my warnings ignored on a number of occasions, and have learned my lesson... these days, I tend to keep my mouth shut and if it gets too bad, I just jump ship. Simply cannot be bothered anymore.

Top Norks bone up on Hitler
"Given that the Nazi's were a socialist organisation (the very Nazi derives from "national socialist party") then this is not a great surprise."
As irritating as your comments usually are, you seem to be a reasonably intelligent bloke. Which makes your above comment worse by orders of magnitude, because I cannot attribute your comment to mere ignorance.
Your statement is not only an attempt to distort historical facts by parroting the propaganda of (predominantly American) ultra-rightwing nutjobs, but also an insult to all social democrats, socialists and members of the Communist party who were persecuted and killed by the NSDAP in the Third Reich.
They did not only put jews into concentration and labour camps. With comments like the one above, you and your ilk are trying to suggest that the persecution of communists, socialists, social democrats, and workers' organisations did not happen, or "it can't have been that bad, because the nazis were really socialists themselves, dontcha know..." . What your ultimate goal is I do not know, but you will not succeed.

Re: eBooks
What I object to is the attitude of "oh, I can't get my books from the library, so I'll have to torrent them" that Mystic Megabyte displays.
If you can't get them from the library (either because they don't cater for your OS of choice, or for other reasons), and you can't afford to / are too cheap to buy them, you're still not entitled to torrenting them, neither legally nor morally.
If you want to read a book, purchase it, in e-book or dead tree format. If nothing else, it will allow the author to keep on producing stuff we enjoy reading.

There's a simple solution to that... just pass a law that states that any returns on bonds issued in the US need to be repaid upon maturity with monies coming out of US accounts, ecause they were issued in the US in the first place.
Apple (and any other of those scheming b*st*rd comapnies) would then have to repatriate the funds to the US, and get hit with the tax as soon as they do. But that would presumably un'Murican.
Come to think of it, that should work here in the EU as well.

Windows Blue preview to land at end of June
Re: I think it's just a bit of a shame.
I agree... although I think that it was a mixture of a few things things: Too much too soon, as you said; and the fact that a touch-centric interface tends to not work particularly well when used with a mouse. Also, abandoning windows in favour for the split screen didn't work for me at all.
That said, I had a similar experience to you: when I first played around with Win8 on a touchscreen device, it felt completely intuitive, and really was a joy to use. I also really like the look of the Metro interface, and the live tiles make a lot of sense to me.
When the first Win 8 previews surfaced in the press and blogs, I was absolutely convinced that MS would release two versions of it, one with the Metro UI for touchscreen devices, and a standard Win7-based one for desktops, or ask the user during installation which version to install... I firmly believe that the adoption would have been a lot better if they'd done that.
To their credit, MS listened to the feedback they received, and they are making changes. Of course they're forced by the market to a certain extent, but still. They admitted that mistakes were made, and are working to rectify them -- you've got to give them credit for that.
I don't want to spark a flame war, but I honestly don't believe Apple would have shown that kind of contrition in the same situation.

I don't know...
I think it's definitely a step forward from easy-to-guess passwords, and passwords used across multiple sites...
I'm not naive enough to suggest that it's the ultimate solution, but I can see those things, potentially in a number of form factors (e.g., finger ring as suggested in the article, key fob, USB stick, etc.), being a solution.
I could potentially see this being the killer app for NFC that everybody has been waiting for -- not pay-by-bonk, but login-by-bonk; NFC receiver in your phone / laptop / PC keyboard / mouse, and when you need to login, just bonk.
If you incorporated it into a keyboard or mouse, you could simply replace your old one, and not have another piece or USB gadget to connect to your laptop / PC.
Microsoft to end Windows 8 discounts on January 31
Re: And "customers who bought new PCs or laptops with Windows 7 preloaded got the best deal of all"
That's why, when I bought my new laptop a couple of weeks before Christmas, I deliberately chose the "older" model that still came pre-installed with Win7, rather than the latest model with Win 8. As an added bonus, it was reduced by £150 because it was 'end-of-line'... :o)
I do not intend to upgrade to Win 8, despite the £15 upgrade offer, since it doesn't have a touchscreen (where, incidentally, I see the whole Win 8 thing is moving towards).
My theory is that MS are using Win 8 to get users to become accustomed to the 'tiles' metaphor, and keep the 'old-style' desktop for legacy apps. In Win 9, we will probably see the latter disappear in favour of a windowed, VM-like desktop, so that legacy applications can still be run, in a similar way that Windows 95 removed the necessity to run Windows on top of DOS, but still providing a DOS-like CLI in a window.

Re: National 'socialists' (was US Authorities)
"[...] both the perceived right and left wing were in fact based on "us vs them" that was mostly based on ideology and rhetoric while in practice both sides were intent on tight state control exerted by the "us" dedicated to excluding / purging the "them". With respect to 'big brother' state control and vile extermination of perceived enemies there was little difference between fascist Germany/Italy and Soviet USSR [...]"
I don't think anybody can argue with this, when you're comparing fascism with Stalinism... there were indeed parallels, as you rightly pointed out.
I wouldn't go quite as far as including all flavours of 'socialism' in general in this statement, though.
National 'socialists' (was Re: US Authorities)
"Oh, and you do know that the 'zi' part of Nazi comes from 'sozialist', right?"
Whilst this is true, the inference that the NSDAP was leftist or socialist is incorrect, although commonly repeated, especially by American right-wing political commentators, to further their own agenda.
Although it's difficult to apply labels such as 'left-wing' or 'right-wing', in their current sense to parties that existed in the late 20s and early 30s in Germany, politically, the NSDAP was centrist to right-of-centre. Which is why they managed to collaborate, and got voted into power, with the help of the conservative DNVP (Deutsche Nationale Volkspartei, German National People's Party) and centrist (Centrums-Partei) party, a move that was opposed by the SPD (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, social democratic party) and KP (Kommunistische Partei, communist party). in fact, the votes of the KP were declared void, and the party dissolved after the 'Reichstagsbrand', in the wake of which the SA and SS arrested thousands of communists.
Furthermore, after the NSDAP's rise to power, thousands of non-jewish Germans were incarcerated in labour and concentration camps, and persecuted simply because they were members of the KP (Kommunistische Partei, communist party), the SPD (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, social democratic party), or members of socialist workers' organisations. A large number of those workers organisations, including the unions, and the "Naturfreunde" (a recreational organisation with historic links to the SPD and the unions), amongst countless others, were also outlawed and dismantled.
My grandfather on my father's side, for example, was sent to the Eastern front for being a member of the SPD.
So, to sum up, there's nothing 'socialist' about the NSDAP. Sorry for the long post, but this sort of thing really gets my goat, probably due to my family history.

Nuisance calls DOUBLE, Ofcom vows to hunt down offenders

Review: Samsung Series 9 super slim notebook
Re: I got myself the 13" version a couple of weeks back
Thanks for the heads-up... I was. In fact, I got the confirmation email from Samsung just a few minutes ago... I hope I'll get it before the Christmas holidays!
I got myself the 13" version a couple of weeks back
It's by far the sexiest-looking piece of kit I have ever owned. The screen (same resolution @ 13.3") is an absolute delight, the keyboard is usable, and it's hard to tell if the thing is actually present in my laptop bag, seeing that it weighs next to nothing.
I opted for the previous model though (NP900X3C) over the latest one: the dark grey looks IMO much nicer than the silver of the new one, it's got the latest Intel chipset in it (the new model, NP900X3D, curiously, doesn't seem to...), also runs Windows 7 (Home Pro) instead of 8, and it's substantially cheaper if you hunt around (£850 at Amazon vs about £1000).
Still not cheap, but well worth it for me.
There are a number of reviews out there that complain about issues with the trackpad, but i can't confirm this; so far I've had no trouble with mine.
RIP heroic SPB playmonaut
Flotation device
In order to secure the safe return to the shore, and hopefully to increase the chances of rescue of the ones following in the footsteps of the heroic, albeit late, El Reg playmonaut (I will forever think of him as Bob, because, well, he probably did), may I suggest a flotation device me added to his capsule for future launches. Here's the one I'm thinking of: http://www.water-buoy.com/
Surely a small price to pay to increase the chances of survival in case of an unplanned splashdown, which is regrettably only too likely given that the launch site is situated *on a bloody island*.
Obligatory disclaimer: I have no connection with the company producing the Water Buoy, nor do I know any of the people working for them. I'm just concerned about the chances of survival of future generations of Playmonauts.
Pirates, because they might have rescued and abducted him.

Google shamed by Apple in race to HTML5
Opera on Honeycomb
Installed Opera mobile on my Transformer (running Honeycomb), and it might just be okay for web sites, but as far as the rendering of web-based applications that rely heavily on hiding/showing/creating/deleting DOM elements on the fly is concerned, it's a disaster. Breaks dynamically generated layouts that render on any other browser.

Man pockets $8m running computer fraud ring
not really.
The article states that the scam was running from 2003-07, i.e. 4 years. Assume $8m and 250 victims over that period, that gives you $8m / (250 vic * 48mth) = $667 per victim per month over a period of 4 years.
That's not a lot if you're a company, and might well be below the threshold of being noticed. The guys in the accounts department might even have noticed when it first spiked, but not worried about it once it flattened out over the next few months.
Having seen phone bills for a company of about 60 people I certainly can see this happening... $700 (at the time, about the same amount in Euros, if memory serves) is simply within normal tolerances for some.

John, why did you put the word 'theft' in quotes in your article? Do you want to suggest that it wasn't really a theft because "nothing got stolen, only copied" (Welcome to Freetardia), or because there were security issues with the application?
Perhaps you don't consider the theft of thousands of email addresses and other personal data as not so serious?
If it's the latter, you might change your mind once your email address gets stolen and as a result you drown in "undeliverable message" notifications because some twunt somewhere in Russia used it to forge the Return-to address.

Trojan-ridden warning system implicated in Spanair crash
To those blaming Windows
Absolutely. Also, assuming for a moment that the story is largely correct, and a malware-infection is to blame for this (something most commenters seem to agree with), I am utterly puzzled by the fanbois of various denominations frothing at the mouth at the chance to bash Windows.
Clearly, blame has to be laid at the door of the coders of the malware, rather than the operating system? This is something I find sorely lacking throughout this discussion. Fact is that all operating systems have bugs, but that doesn't give anybody permission to hack them, or absolve them from the consequences of their actions. The problem is the juvenile mindset of some programmers, who consider it an achievement to wreck systems with scant regard to what they are used for.
Unless programmers develop a sense of morality and ethics, and start to think about the possible consequences of their actions, nothing will change.

The Reg guide to Linux, part 3
Linux ccommand line fail
> "It's actually dramatically easier than Windows."
Imagine a Windows user who whats to give Ubuntu a try without the benefit of having read this article that list the commands. How and where exactly would they manage? This is an EPIC fail and you know it. You might not want to admit it, but that's a different story.
> "It just looks intimidating."
If it looks intimidating, it is. Which is why Linux fails as an OS alternative to Windows.
> "Knowing what you need and where to find it is usually the more interesting problem."
Unfortunately, it's not a problem that the average user is interested in solving. Most people use computers to *get work done*, rather than fiddling with the o/s and buggering about with shell scripts.
Average users are scared!
This is exactly the point: command line stuff scares people away *in droves*.
So called (and mostly self-appointed) Linux "evangelists" continuously gripe and whinge about the dominance of Windows and how Linux is so much better and open and god-knows-what-else, and that people would switch to Linux in a heartbeat if they only tried it.
What none of these people get into therir heads is that
1. most people simply have no desire nor the time to invest in learn a new operating system
2. a lot of people (if not the majority) are NOT geeks. Linux-heads are so isolated from the real world that they can barely comprehend how little the average user knows about operating systems. This kind of user sees a command line and panics. Typing some cryptic commands that they'd have to write down to remember is bound to end in tears.
Lets be clear here: I'm not dissing these users -- they may not be able to install a device driver or edit the registry in Windows, but they tend to be highly skilled using the applications they work with on a daily basis, like Excel, Word, Photshop, etc. Which is usually all they want.
The ones I *am* dissing are the Linux -geeks who bemoan the low acceptance of Linux, but at the same time are completely unaware that concepts like "usability" and "user experience" even exist, much less that they will have to embrace them.
The day there's a distro that doesn't come with a shell is the day Linux is ready for prime time.

Android apps: Shifty little bleeders
However, mobile phones are consumer devices. although Android phones are probably a bit more on the geeky side of the spectrum, they are aimed at an audience that simply isn't tech-savcvy enough to make these informed decisions you mention. These users simply don't know the consequences of them clicking "Agree" when they are asked for certain permissions. If an app requests internet access, the average user will think that it'll be used for registration, not for the potential of some nefarious data-sniffing. It simply won't cross their mind that the latter is a possibility.
