- Air Trajectory
- 2014-11-25 18:58 Does the gravitational potential energy need to convert directly into air pressure or can it go through multiple conversions to get to the air pressure force.
It can go through multiple conversions, but 100% of the energy must initially be gravitational potential energy.
- 2014-11-25 19:03 Does the air pressure/movement generated by by the falling mass have to be immediatley applied (either directly or indirectly) to the projectile or can it be stored and then released?
It can be stored and released, but 100% of the initial energy must come from the falling mass and event supervisors must be able to verify this. Also, all chambers must automatically return to ambient air pressure.
- 2014-11-25 19:12 During competition, can a team use a different air chamber for each launch?
Yes, as long as the device remains safe and within other specs.
- 2014-10-30 16:49 Is a Foose ball legal to use as a projectile?
No, only the listed items in rule 3.f. are allowed as projectiles.
- 2014-11-25 19:28 Polyurethane foam practice golf balls almost never use the word "plastic" in their advertising, although polyurethane is clearly a plastic. If the package says "PU foam practice golf balls" is it OK?
All the words "plastic", "practice", "golf", and "ball" must appear somewhere on the packaging or advertising description of the product, but not necessarily all in the same spot.
- 2014-10-25 20:38 Please define "plastic practice golf balls". Are high density polyurethane foam practice golf balls allowed?
The most common type of plastic golf balls are plastic dimpled and plastic with holes and HDPE foam types are legal. As long as they are commercially marketed as "plastic practice golf balls", they may be used. It is recommended that students bring the packaging if there is a question.
- 2014-10-25 20:32 Its stated that the launch area is "1.00 m x 1.50 m (parallel to the launch direction)," does this mean that launch area is 1.50 m in length along the launch access and 1 m wide?
Yes, the 1.5 m side of the launch area is the side that is parallel to the launch direction and the front of the launch area is 1 m wide.
- 2014-10-25 20:45 The height of the target is not specified in the rules. What are the limits on how high or how low the targets can be compared to the launching area?
Rule 4.d. explicitly says that the target is either tape on the floor or panels lying on the floor. There should not be any significant difference between the floor height in the launch area and the targets.
- 2014-10-25 20:59 Can a team take one shot each for both targets and then decide which target it takes a second shot and/or take a bucket shot (if allowed by 4.i)?
Competitors may choose either target for their first shot. They may then choose to take their second shot at the same target or their first shot at the other target. If they qualify to take a bucket shot after their first shot at a particular target, they must ask for the bucket when they wish to take the second shot at that target.
- 2014-10-25 21:05 How can the competitors make measurements after the launch without touching the target?
Competitors will be told the distance of the targets from the launch area and can measure their impact locations from the launch area if outside of the target.
- 2014-10-25 21:11 If the projectile bounces off the bottom of the bucket and then out of the bucket would the bonus count?
Rule 4.i states that "making contact with the inside bottom surface is worth an additional 100 points." It does not state that after making contact the projectile must remain in the bucket, so the bonus is given even if the projectile subsequently bounces out of the bucket.
- Compound Machines
- 2014-10-27 19:39 For the first class lever component, does the total length of the bar have to be less than 40 cm or the individual sides from the fulcrum?
For the class 1 lever the load point to effort point measurements must be less than or equal to 40.0 cm. The size of the the fulcrum is irrelevant to this measurement.
- 2014-11-25 20:14 For class II lever would 40 cm be measured from the center of the fulcrum to the center of the load?
The 40 cm maximum length will be from the fulcrum connection to the effort point.
- It's About Time
- 2014-10-26 18:52 If we build a clock from parts made from a 3D printer, is that legal? The clock will be powered by an non-electric oscillator.
Per General Rule 1, yes it is allowed. As long as it complies to all other event rules, general rules, and the official Science Olympiad Building and Tools policy found at http://soinc.org/building_tools_policy. A 3D printer is no different from any other workshop tool such as a table saw or drill press.
- Forensics
- 2014-10-27 19:11 May students bring one or two individual resource pages (not in a binder), as in past years? Are students allowed to remove resource pages from the binder to use while working during the competition?
Most event supervisors are going to go by the book, which means the two pages would need to be in a binder. There are no rules on the removal of the pages, but it might be best to ask the event supervisor if removal of the pages would be allowed.

I'm super keen to get to fishing, but this is the second day in a row where Nook hasn't had a fishing rod for me in the junction and I foolishly went down the bug net path of the tutorial.
Now Sparro has asked me to catch him a Guppy and I DO NOT WANT TO DISAPPOINT!
I was hoping one of you wonderful people could hook me up with sweet fishing rod?


text: Well my holster came (crossbreed, I love it) and took the wife for Pizza Friday night. All the usual things, feels like gun is falling off, sticking out, everyone can see. Sitting at the Pizza joint wife says you should have worn your gun. Answer I did. I realized that nobody notices. The other thing and the most interesting was that the "John Wayne, I can handle anything" feeling was not there. Instead it was, as best I can describe a "reverence" for the privilege and responsibility I now had because I was carrying a lethal weapon. I never expected, but am grateful for that change that happend once it was real. I learned really quick with a weapon comes a huge responsibility. I thought I knew what to expect. I hope and pray I never ever need it.

Bright Futures Celebration
Who: The Child Abuse Prevention Center
Where: St. Regis Monarch Beach, 1 Monarch Beach Resort, Dana Point
When: 6 p.m. Saturday, May 12.
Ticket prices: $300 per person
For further information visit: BrightFutures4Kids.org
Nilima Sanchez, 3 months old and pretty in pink, sleeps like an angel in the most comforting place of all: snuggled in the arms of her mother, Priscilla.
McGarci, 31, is a single mother with two teenage children from a previous marriage. With every kiss she plants on Nilima's forehead she seems grateful for the chance to try parenting again from the start.
"As a new mom, it's all new," she explains. "You're frustrated and you panic... I winged it the first time."
Fourteen years ago that meant an infant son who fussed and cried.
"I didn't know how to calm a baby. My son cried for six months – and I was so angry with him."
McGarci isn't angry with Nilima. This time she is older — but she is also wiser, thanks in part to a program offered by the Child Abuse Prevention Center.
The center is focused on breaking the cycle: Stop repeating the mistakes of our parents; stop making mistakes of our own.
Marisol Martinez, 27, and Miguel Cruz, 23, weren't doing anything bad, but they weren't quite getting it right.
They are the parents of 4-year-old Theresa. They are the parents, but for a time Theresa was running the show.
"She cried and she kicked if she wanted some toy. I would buy the toy," Martinez recalls. "If she wanted ice cream, I would buy ice cream."
She didn't know how to discipline her daughter, and as a result, she found herself yelling.
Then the couple from Orange began working with a caseworker from the Toddler Home Visitation program of the Child Abuse Prevention Center. Martinez began to understand why Theresa wanted her attention. She learned to put Theresa in time out – and to be consistent in her response.
"I did it and it works. It helped me to be patient with my daughter."
Cruz adds: "We can be a better parent and she can be a better kid."

Rainbows are awesome. They're bright, attractive and optimistic, so it's no wonder that artists will frequently bring a splash of color to whatever they're creating by adding a rainbow. But they're hard to draw. The colors in a rainbow vary continuously, not in discrete stripes. Fortunately, it's commonly held that rainbows have seven colors, so seven stripes are often considered "enough". However, a number of reasons - simplistic art style, limited palette, low graphics resolution - mean that it's not always practical to include even that many. That's when you use a Rainbow Lite. It's a quick way to convey the idea of 'rainbow' without using the whole spectrum. Two notable varieties include: Six Colors Purple

I'm sure most of you by now are well aware of some of the comments that Jayson Werth has made about the Philadelphia Phillies in light of his recent injury and the supposed cheering of his broken wrist by some fans in right field. The animosity between Werth and the Phillies is at a fever pitch right now, which is rather sad to see given that Werth was one of the key members of the 2008 World F*ckin' Champions and a huge part of their success in 2009 and 2010. A lot of fans probably don't understand where all the hatred stems from. I mean, after all, he's the one who betrayed us, right? He chased the dollar and wound up on a losing franchise (that's currently in first place, I know), but that's his problem, not ours, right? He's probably just feeling regret, which he deserves, and is trying to make himself feel better by slandering us, right? Right?
I think there's more to it than that. I think Werth lashing out at the Phillies organization and fan base is exactly what the Nationals want him to do, and might even be asking him to do. And after the jump, I'll explain to you why I think that's the case.
It all started just before midnight, December 14, 2010. I was staring at the screen of a worn-down MacBook studying for a music history final, and I, like most Phillies fans, was still reeling a little bit from Jayson Werth signing a humongous contract with the Nationals a few days before, seemingly out of nowhere. I know I felt just a little betrayed; how could he sign such a big contract to play for a bunch of losers? Next thing I knew, it was after midnight, December 15, and I don't think I need to remind you why that day was so important to me and the rest of the fandom. Let's just say a certain Clifton Phifer Lee signed a 5-year $120 million contract with the Philadelphia Phillies, turning down greater offers from both the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees. It was the perfect love story; after being jilted by the money-hungry Werth, the man we once betrayed, Cliff Lee, returned to play for the team he loved instead of taking the bigger offers from other teams. All was right with the world…at least for a little bit.
After we basked in the glow of our moral triumph for a while, Werth—the newly minted National—came forward and claimed that he believed that the Phillies could have afforded to pay both Lee and himself. A good number of people seemed to agree with him; if they can afford to shell out $24 million to one guy for the next 5 seasons, why couldn't they sign Werth too? It sounded like he never wanted to leave. But think about what WholeCamels has said so far about the Hamels negotiations: if Cole wants to become a free agent, then he's going to become a free agent. We've already laid out our baseline for the contract and are open for negotiation, but it's up to him and his agent if they want to pursue an in-house deal or seek more money on the market. So far, the latter seems to be the more-likely case. Essentially the same thing happened with Werth. We laid out the contract that we felt was appropriate (4/$66 million, I believe; essentially Jason Bay's latest deal), and he decided to test free agency instead. That was his right as a player, and he was rewarded with a 7/$126 million deal from the Nationals—the 13th richest contract in baseball history, bigger than Matt Holliday's, equal to Barry Zito's—that the Phillies and every other team in baseball were unwilling to match and would likely have been very unwise to do so. He took that deal instead of ours, which was also his right, but it also made his claim about the Phillies being too cheap to sign him an unsupportable one. And he probably knew it, too; there was no way the Phillies were going to approach those numbers that Washington laid out in any of their contract negotiations. So why would he say that?
Later that spring, it's published in the Washington Post that Werth, in a conversation with GM Mike Rizzo in the presence of reporters, claimed that he "hates the Phillies" now. It might just have been an offhand remark, but I, like many fans, got swept up in the anti-Werth sentiment that took Fightins Nation by storm, even threatening to burn my jersey in the process. It took me some time (and some derision from a few of our finest bloggers) until I realized, "You know what, he plays for a division rival now. This isn't that surprising that he would have that kind of mentality, even if his word choice was a bit hyperbolic." I eventually let it go; no harm, no foul. But what continued to intrigue me, though, is that this was a quote from Werth aimed directly at his former organization. In my experience, I've rarely ever heard players step forth and denounce an organization that they used to play for so explicitly. Ubaldo Jimenez kind of backhanded the Rockies last season when he called playing for Cleveland "heavenly," and that drama continued this spring with his drilling of Tulowitzki in the wrist, but that's the worst incident I can think of off the top of my head. With Werth, it was a comment clearly aimed at his former organization, the one that revitalized his career as a star major leaguer, the one that made him a WFC. So why would he say that?
(Intermission: Werth made his return to Philadelphia, his first plate appearance marked by boos scattered with a few cheers that quickly turned into a standing ovation after a tip of his helmet to the crowd. All was forgiven...kinda...briefly.)
Flash forward to the latest series with the Nationals, the infamous "Take Back the Park" Series. In the final game of the series, Werth made an attempt at a sliding catch on a two-out Placido Polanco single and broke his left wrist in the process, leaving the game clutching his left arm and visibly in pain. It was reported to him later that a few of the Phillies fans in right field actively cheered Werth's injury and jeered at him as he was helped off the field, and he responded that he was motivated to "get back quickly and see to it personally those people never walk down Broad Street in celebration again."
Now let's be clear: Some of our "fans" can be goons, and it's absolutely despicable if they did in fact taunt Werth because of his injury. But I'm skeptical of these claims; from what I could tell on the ESPN broadcast, the only cheers from any fans were from realizing that Werth dropped the ball (keeping the inning alive for the Phillies) and giving him a supportive ovation as he left the field. I didn't hear any sort of taunts, and between the screaming pain in his wrist and the athletic trainer asking him questions and giving him instructions, I doubt Jayson heard anything either. Of course, given the reputation Phillies fans have, there's little chance that anyone wouldn't believe a claim that Phillies fans cheered an opposing player who injured himself. I mean, come on, we booed Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. We threw batteries at J.D. Drew and snowballs at opposing fans. Some guy puked on a cop's daughter in the middle of a game. We're clearly the worst fan base ever…of all time. But even so, Werth didn't have any proof other than word of mouth to go on that he was being jeered by opposing fans, and he's supposed to be a professional about these kinds of things. So why would he say that? Why would he say any of it? Why would he go out of his way to make such derogatory comments towards an organization that had previously been so good to him?
You can call me conspiratory (if that's a word), or you can call me crazy (because I kinda am), but I'm beginning to think that the day he was signed, Jayson Werth became a pawn in the Nationals organization's plans to chip away at the Philadelphia Phillies and their reputation, and not just from the outfield or the right side of the plate. The Nationals have come on very strong in the opening month of the 2012 season, and are currently sitting in first place in the NL East. What better way to continue that momentum than to verbally tear down the organization that has subjugated them relentlessly since their relocation from Montreal? I think there's likely been some prodding by the higher-ups in the organization for Werth to take shots at his former organization to try and debase them just a little bit. We already saw it with Brad Lidge, who claimed that the 2012 Nationals were the "most talented team [he's] ever been on," after appearing in the playoffs twice with Houston and winning it all with Philadelphia. Why not have Werth, who was equally as valuable to the '08 WFC's, get his digs in as well?
And you know what? That's absolutely fine. I don't care one bit.
Jayson Werth is allowed to say whatever the hell he wants about the Phillies. It shouldn't bother us; he doesn't play for us anymore, and likely never will again. He's still one of my favorite players ever to have played on the Phillies, and he helped bring us our second title. So whatever, right? Here's the problem: our fans. We have awesome fans, we really do. I've gotten chills at every single game I've gone to at CBP, including that wild come-from-behind win against the Dodgers and Jonathan Broxton. The atmosphere is electric; I've never experienced anything like it. That's where some things can get out of hand, though. Our fanbase is a very...shall we say, passionate one. And we're not one to take crap from anybody about anything, and that includes former players. We're only going to take Werth's comments as an invitation to start firing right back at him and his team.
Which is exactly what Washington wants us to do.
Why wouldn't they? It's in their best interest to make us look bad. Their press is only going to get better the worse ours gets, and pretty soon they'll have fans lining up around the block to...
I'm sorry, I couldn't type that with a straight face. "Take Back the Park" and "#Natitude" wasn't exactly a rousing success from anyone's viewpoint. The Phillies fans were still out in force, which is always nice to see.
But you get what I'm driving at, I'm sure. The Washington Nationals are trying to make themselves like the good guys of the NL East, ready to dethrone the evil, aging, and classless Philadelphia Phillies after their five-year reign of terror. And Jayson Werth is a huge part of that plan, on and off the field.

I've done ALOT of reading about thin clients for the last two days. Not sure why but I think I accidentally clicked an article about the Sun Ray Clients which started me going.
My question is for those who run them. How 'well' does primary software ie KidPix, MathBlaster etc Run over a thin client? I've read conflicting reports from 'Everything works great' to 'Sound is delayed and artifacts are left on the screen'. I'm sure alot of this depends on the network setup.
But lets assume I have a gigabit fibre backbone and 100mb to the desktops. Can a replace my primary school classroom computers with thin clients without the kids thinking their Magic School Bus isn't so magic?
Are XPe clients the way to go as they allow local processing of media and web browsing?
Ive read a lot of case studies about how thin clients have saved a school billions and billions and billions but they never go beyond office apps and web browsing.

Benet 61 – Hinsdale Central 50
Hinsdale Central and 6-7 junior Matt Rafferty have been tough to stop during a 10-game winning streak. With a commitment to defense, top-seeded Benet found a way in the Class 4A East Aurora Sectional semifinal Tuesday night.
With Liam Nelligan's defense on Rafferty and Collin Pellettieri delivering 22 points, including six three-pointers, No. 19 Benet beat No. 20 Hinsdale Central 61-50 to advance to its third sectional final in five years.
With the game tied at 27 at halftime, the Redwings (22-7) held the Devils (23-7) to 1-of-10 shooting in the third quarter and Hinsdale was held to two baskets for nearly 11 minutes in the second half. Benet outscored Hinsdale 15-6 in the third quarter.

MacArthur's Glasgow team-mate Hall was originally named as a replacement for the RBS Six Nations clash at Murrayfield but has been ruled out due to a knee injury.
Hall's problem has led to 25-year-old hooker MacArthur being called up to Scotland's match-day squad for the first time.
"Dougie has a mild strain of his knee which will not settle in time for this weekend's game," Scotland team doctor James Robson said:
MacArthur added: "It's a huge honour to have the chance to play for my country. It's something I've dreamed about since I started playing mini rugby at Ayr and aimed for since I became a professional with Glasgow Warriors."

Shortcut To Size: Phase 1, Week 1, Day 5
Back | Main | Next
Jim Stoppani's 12-Week Shortcut To Size
Phase 1, Day 5 - Legs/Abs
Watch The Video - 13:25
Rest your swollen shoulders. You dominated delts yesterday, so give your upper-body a break and focus on your wheels. That's right: Today is leg day, and leg day means war.
You better pick a suitable soundtrack, because music will make or break your fourth set of squats and deadlifts. This workout is high volume, so make sure the volume in your ears is cranked up to match.
This is your last workout of microcycle 1, which means 12-15 reps per set. Don't forget your finishing rest-pause sets, which should leave you limping. If you're not hobbling out of the gym after this workout, you didn't do it right.
Lay waste to your legs and abs so you can build them up, bigger and stronger, with rest and nutrition. You've got two rest days after this, so make today's workout worth both of them.
Remember to watch all the workout videos this week! They're packed with unique tips and extra info.
Terms You'll Need To Know
Rest-Pause: During weeks one and two of each phase of the program, you will do a rest-pause set as the last set of each exercise. To do this, reach muscle failure on the last set, then rack the weight and rest 15 seconds. Then continue the set until you reach muscle failure again.
Warm-up Sets: Perform 1-2 warm-up sets of 12-15 reps on the first exercise for all body parts, except abs and calves. Warm-up sets lubricate the joints, send blood to the working muscle, and prepare your body for a heavier load. After your warm-up sets, dive directly into the working sets below!
- Barbell Squat
4 sets of 12-15 reps
Rest-pause on final set
- One-Leg Leg Press
3 sets of 12-15
Rest-pause on final set
- Leg Extensions
3 sets of 12-15
Rest-pause on final set
- Romanian Deadlift
4 sets of 12-15 reps
Rest-pause on final set
- Lying Leg Curls
3 sets of 12-15 reps
Rest-pause on final set
- Bent-Knee Hip Raise (on a bench)
3 sets of 20-30 reps*
Rest-pause on final set

Songs of Supplication; Malathi V. Moily, Rupa, Rs.295.
A collection of poems on the beauty of divinity, nature and love. The earnest 'You Are Omnipresent', reminds us of the source of all creation; 'Nature' is a heartfelt tribute to the bounties of Mother Earth; and the lilting 'My Ma'n is a love paean from a woman to her beloved. The poems also dwell on the inevitability of human foibles and the necessity for spiritual cleansing. Songs of Supplication is an ode to the power both within and outside.
India's Rights Revolution: Has It Worked for the Poor?; S.K. Das, Oxford University Press India, Rs.795.
Putting social justice and human rights at the core of its developmental policies, India enacted four important socio-economic laws in the past few years. Despite lofty aims, there have been serious shortcomings in their implementation. Are these laws accessible? Are the poor equipped to realise their rights? Is there a remedy if the laws are violated? While critically analysing these questions, the author discusses why these rights have failed to benefit the poor and highlights the need for appropriate laws, adequate resources, and an institutional infrastructure.
Exotic Aliens: The Lion and the Cheetah in India; Valmik Thapar, Aleph Book Company, Rs.595.
In the 16th century, Dutch traveller Jan Linschoten noted the absence of lions throughout the Indian subcontinent. Two hundred years later, British shikari and writer, Captain Thomas Williamson, emphatically declared: 'There are no lions in Hindustan.' Much the same was said about the cheetah. These observations piqued the interest of well-known naturalist Valmik Thapar. After an enormous amount of research and study, he now believes that, contrary to existing scientific theory, neither of these animals was indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. Enlisting the help of renowned historian, Romila Thapar who analyses historical accounts and representations of the lion in early India, and scholar Yusuf Ansari who looks back at the lives of the Mughals and their famed hunts to further validate his theory, Thapar concludes that the Indian lion and the Indian cheetah were exotic imports, not indigenous subspecies.
A Degree in Death; Ruby Gupta, Alchemy, Rs.225.
The midnight murder of a student in the sleepy town of Dehra Dun fills everyone with suspicion and alarm. With no clues or suspects, the police are unable to catch the killer. Professor Shantanu Bose, an eminent nano-expert and Dean of Research and Development, is determined to bring back the peaceful academic environment of his campus and begins his own investigation. Soon he finds himself being stalked and his every move being observed and discovers that the truth is more startling than what anyone could have imagined.
Yours Sarcastically; Sandeep Das, Jufic Books, Rs.145.
A not-so-diplomatic take on the life of a 20-something person in contemporary India, the book is about a youngster's journey from post-graduate education to experiences of selling mustard hair oil, marketing stints and management consulting experience along the Indo-Nepal border. Along the way, he falls in love with his batch-mate and hankers after professional success. Needless to say, there is a villain who runs after the same lovely girl and the same crown of success.
Best of W. W. Jacobs; Chubby Sadashivan, Chubb Publishers, Rs.150.
William Wymark Jacobs, English novella and short story writer, novelist, and dramatist, is primarily known for the macabre 'The Monkey's Paw', a classic horror story that remains as intense and thrilling as it was when first penned. While popular today as a horror fiction writer, many of Jacobs' stories were infused with dry humour, plot twists and surprise endings. Jacobs' works were immensely successful during his time, but since his death have become relatively obscure. This slim volume, edited by Chubby Sadashivan, puts together some of Jacobs' lesser known but equally thrilling and well-crafted stories. Two stories, 'A Change of Treatment' and 'Paying Off', bring back one of Jacob's recurring characters, the Night Watchman, a retired sailor who narrates stories in a London cockney dialect most prevalent on the waterfront. Sample the best of Jacobs.

Finally got over there last night.
She got the wireless working by using another Alienware disc that came with the thing, but I couldn't get the video working to show better resolution.
It insists that the laptop has a standard VGA adapter and a generic PnP monitor. She can only set one resolution, 1152x800-something (sorry, can't remember the second) and the screen looks stretched like watching 4:3 video on a 16:9 set.
I went into Device Manager, pointed to the Windows.old folder for both the monitor and the display, and all it would do is confirm that my current VGA adapter and Generic PnP monitor already had the latest versions.
|My System Specs
|19 Oct 2012
Standard VGA is rarely any more than a placeholder driver given by installer.
Did you run all Important and Optional Windows Updates to completion after enabling Automatically get recommended drivers and updates for your hardware as advised in Post #2. The tutorial Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 I gave you there shows all of the options to get the required drivers so I don't know why I'm having to repeat this.
If you browsed into windows.old Windows/System 32 file as advised and it won't pick up the driver, then go to the Dell Support Downloads webpage for your exact tag number or model to import the driver.
|My System Specs
|19 Oct 2012
My apologies for leaving things out, and I didn't mean to frustrate you. I am posting these from home not near her computer, by memory, which is apparently not good enough.
I'm sorry, again.
I did run Windows Update, but only installed the important (not recommended) updates.
The important updates were Windows 7 SP1 and the Malicious Software Removal Tool. I can't remember what the 5 recommended updates were, but they didn't look like they had to do with the monitor or video drivers.
Next time I'm over there, I'll run the recommended updates, follow the instructions above and try to find my own way around the Dell downloaded drivers, which I already copied over by flash drive last time I was over there.
If that doesn't work, she's on her own. My apologies for being a difficult forum user.
|My System Specs
|19 Oct 2012
So basically you ignored all of the steps in the tutorial to get a perfect Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7
The first step provides you with the latest official installer with SP1 and tool to burn to DVD or write to flash stick. Instead you spent hours of extra time getting all the extra updates in SP1.
How drivers are handled couldn't be more specific that they come in on Optional Windows Updates - I am not going to repeat it all a third time just because you continue to ignore the actual way it 's done.
Why would you ask for advice then ignore the the Best Practices based on helping here with countless thousands of these reinstalls?
|My System Specs
|19 Oct 2012
OK, I give up. I'll follow the links above and every step in exact order. I was trying to avoid wiping out what she has saved, and feared going that far and risking data loss (or the inability for that machine to backup to DVD or whatever) and I apparently don't know what the heck I'm talking about.
I feel insulted, and probably deserve it. No need to waste your time with me any further. Maybe there's a Windows 7 Help For Idiots forum that I'd fit with more.
I just knew this day was going to end up stinking.
As that English lady in black used to say on TV, "I am the weakest link...goodbye!"

My boyfriend of 1 1/2 years decided to join the air force and I'm terrified. What's it like being an air force gf?
What is there to be terrified of the Air Force? Yes, some were in the most dangerous positions a few years ago, but now we are back to the peacetime, more or less, so lots of safe stuff going on now. Of course, if he is going to be a PJ, then forget what I just wrote.
It's definitely stressful and hard, but so worth it!!! Not all people can handle it but if you really love each other then you'll get through it. My boyfriend has been in the Air Force for almost two years and I've been with him even before he joined. He's stationed in Korea but we make it work. Skype/FaceTime will become your best friend, TRUST ME! Once your man joins, you'll never take time for granted with him. If you want to talk I'm here; I know what it's like to be a USAF girlfriend. I have been for almost two years! :) hope this helped!
It's kinda dangerous ! But you should be really proud of him !

Like my boyfriend travels in air ! What does YOUR boyfriend do ?

Try to take to good out of it !

Bangkok, Thailand
Saudi Arabia to lobby Thai King on Diplomat murder case
Stolen diamonds, fleeing criminals, corrupt police officers, skullduggery and murder -- it could be the key contents of a heist thriller, but to the Saudi royal family it's no fiction.
In an exclusive interview, the Saudi charge d'affaires to Thailand has told the Anadolu Agency that the kingdom has had enough of stalled attempts to get to the bottom of a case that has destroyed relations between the two countries for almost a quarter of a century, and is to seek intervention from the King of Thailand himself.
"[A] letter will ask the King of Thailand for justice," Abdulelah Alsheaiby told the AA.
In 1989, a Thai janitor working in the Saudi palace of a prince made off with jewelry reported to be worth between $2 and $20 million. He was arrested in Thailand soon after, police returning the jewelry to the Saudi authorities. But some of the pieces -- including a huge, nearly flawless "blue diamond" -- turned out to be fake, leading to suspicions that senior police and members of Thailand's powerful elite had copied the loot and ordered a cover-up.
Soon after, four Saudi diplomats based in Bangkok who were attempting to recover the jewelry were murdered. Mohammad al-Ruwaili, a Saudi businessman and close friend of the murdered diplomats, then disappeared during the police investigation into the killings. His body was never found.
Under tremendous pressure from Saudi Arabia, Thailand has continued to investigate the case -- while also proclaiming its innocence.
The Thai ambassador to Turkey told the AA in Ankara that although the country regretted the murder of the diplomats, "they were most likely the victims of conflict elsewhere."
The ambassador refused to elaborate on what he meant by "elsewhere."
"Thailand was used as the location of the operations," Tharit Charunvat said.
"The government of Thailand has been working closely and sharing all evidence that is has found with the goverment of Saudi Arabia."
Late Saudi Charge d'Affaires Mohammed Khoja was adamant, however, that the murders and kidnapping were connected to the theft. Four years after al-Ruwaili's disappearance, a Thai jeweler he believed to be behind the copying of the jewels was kidnapped, his wife and son dying in a mysterious car crash soon after.
"The forensic commander thinks we're stupid. This was not an accident," Khoja has told the Washington Post.
Thai reporters agree, long speculating that some of the jewels -- especially the blue diamond -- ended up in the possession of people at the top of Thai social ladder.
On March 31 this year, the Thai criminal court dismissed a case against five Thai police officers accused of having kidnapped and murdered Al-Ruwaili and then burning his body. The main defendant, Police Lieutenant General Somkid Boonthanom, was accused of having given the order. All five denied the charges.
The judge considered the evidence "too weak," and did not consider as credible the statement of another Thai police officer.
The police officer was interviewed by the Thai Department of Investigations in the United Arab Emirates, where he resides out of fear of giving his testimony in Thailand.
For Alsheaiby, the Saudi charge d'affaires, however, the fact that the judge on the al-Ruwaili case was changed just two weeks before the judgment is a sign of "clear interference."
"The former judge had worked for three years on the case. He had heard all the witnesses and read all the documents. How could the new judge even pronounce a judgment without knowing anything?" he asked.
"There is a deep problem with the Thai justice system."
Thailand does have judicial problems. Corruption is not unheard of among judges, as several have been demoted for asking for millions of baht in bribes. Accusations of collusion between police and judges are also common -- the Thai justice system has no investigative judge and the notoriously corrupt police have extensive powers in the pre-trial phase.
In a recent case, an heir to the ultra-wealthy Red Bull energy drink family who mowed down a police officer in his Ferrari is yet to appear in court, offering excuses such as he was "on a business trip to Singapore." Another time, he could not appear as he was suffering "bad flu."
On announcement of the al-Ruwaili charges being dismissed, The Bangkok Post quoted the dead businessman's brother in law, Matrouk al-Ruwaili, as saying: "The family has come to the conclusion that he was stopped by the police and taken by the police -- which division we don't know -- for certain interrogations, perhaps relating to the assassination of the Saudi diplomats."
The prosecutor-general and the al-Ruwaili family are considering an appeal.
Alsheaiby said that Saudi authorities are now studying the possibility of filing a case on al-Ruwaili's murder to the International Court of Justice at The Hague, as Boonthanom -- the main suspect in the murder of Saudi businessman Al-Ruwaili -- was a Thai state official at the time of the disappearance.
They are also musing a further downgrade of diplomatic relations between Riyadh and Bangkok, although the Saudi charge d'affaires confessed that the country could do little more to impress the seriousness of the issue on Thailand "other than closing the embassy and packing up" altogether.
After the diplomats' killing in 1990, a furious Riyadh downgraded the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries by replacing the ambassador with the chargé d'affaires. For a number of years, it also stopped allowing Thai migrant workers to work in the kingdom. They are now allowed back in -- albeit at a limited level.
In return, Saudi Arabia is not allowing its citizens to visit Thailand.
"You can only imagine how much Thailand is losing because of this one person [Somkid Boonthanom]," said Alsheaiby.
"Hundreds of thousands of Saudi tourists would like to come here.... Our crown prince has been visiting and signing contracts all over the region, but not here," he added.
Thai ambassador Charunvat highlighted that although there are pending issues between the two governments, the people "do not have hard feelings for each other."
"Every year thousands of Thai Muslims go to Mecca and Medina; as many as the Saudis can entertain," he said. "They have a quota, we want more quota, that means the people on both sides don't have any hard feelings."
In June 2006, during the 16th anniversary of the coronation of the Thai King, the Royal Saudi family was one of the world's few monarchies not to send someone to the lavish celebration.
It is now hoping that a direct appeal for justice to its Thai equivalent will close doors on a 25-year diplomatic and economic headache.
"We trust H.M. the King that he will retain justice in the right way," Alsheaiby told the AA.

Bank Stress Tests are Cruel, But Fair: Street Whispers (Update 1)
For the next round of stress tests, the Fed requires bank holding companies to show that they can maintain a "Tier 1 common ratio of 5 percent on a pro forma basis under expected and stressful conditions throughout the planning horizon," which includes a far less severe Adverse Scenario than the previous round of stress tests, but also includes a new "Severely Adverse Scenario."
Adverse Scenario
The 2013 adverse scenario "features a moderate recession in the United States that begins in the fourth quarter of 2012 and lasts until early 2014; during this period, the level of real GDP declines 2 percent, and the unemployment rate rises to 9¾ percent." The adverse scenario also includes CPI inflation rising to 4% and equity prices dropping by 25% through the middle of 2013, with home prices declining "more than 6 percent during 2013, and commercial real estate prices
Also under the new Adverse Scenario, short-term rates rise from their current range of between zero and 0.25% in order to combat inflation, reaching 2.5% by the end of 2013, while "the yield on the long-term Treasury note increases by less but still rises above 3½ percent by the end of next year; thus, the yield curve is both higher and flatter in 2013."
Adding further to the misery under the Adverse Scenario, mortgage rates rise, while "corporate borrowing rates also move significantly higher, to more than 7 percent by the end of 2013, despite only a modest increase in spreads."
Severely Adverse Scenario
The Fed's new severely adverse scenario is similar to the 2012 adverse scenario, but nastier in some ways. "In the United States, the severely adverse scenario features a severe recession, with the unemployment rate increasing 4 percentage points from current levels (an amount similar to that in severe contractions over the past half-century). Notably, the unemployment rate remains above any level experienced over the last 70 years from the middle of 2013 to the end of the scenario."
The Federal Reserve also said that under the severely adverse scenario, domestic real GDP declines by almost 5% between the third quarter of 2012 and the end of 2013, with inflation slowing to 1%. Equity prices fall by over 50%, while housing prices and commercial real estate prices plunge by more than 20% by the end of 2014.
