Man sentenced for Fed-Ex drug shipment
A Warren County man has been sentenced to six years for a scheme to receive nearly a quarter pound of methamphetamine in a Fed-Ex shipment.
Prosecutors said Clayton Jones, 37, pleaded guilty to possession of methamphetamine. In addition to the prison sentence, Circuit Judge Isadore Patrick gave Jones five years' probation and a $2,000 fine.
The Vicksburg Post reported that on April 11, 2012, Jones received a shipment of 108 grams -- 3.8 ounces -- of meth in a Fed-Ex package delivered to his home, according to court records.
The drugs, which had been shipped from an address in Dallas, Texas, were intercepted at a Fed-Ex building in Richland and delivered to Jones by an undercover Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agent.

OH yeah!!..HERE COMES THE tax hikes
and im confident this is just the start :
Democrat House Passes Largest Tax Hike in History before Recess
* Raises the current "10 percent tax bracket" to 15 percent. This would increase the burden on all American taxpayers, especially the lowest income earners.
* Implements an across-the-board increase on marginal income tax rates.
* Reinstates the marriage penalty. Approximately 23 million married couples would be affected.
* Slashes the $1,000 per-child tax credit in half.
* Increases the tax on dividends, which often supplement the income of senior citizens relying on Social Security.
* Reinstates the death tax, which is considered the largest impediment to transferring family-owned businesses from one generation to the next.
I LOVE IT !!!!!!.....sure hope our politicians in congress/senate can vote themsleves another healthy pay raise when the time comes for them to vote on it.
the next several years or so, are gonna be a DOOOZEEYYYY.

Looks like Pelosi is just warming up for when she thinks the Dems will have a clean sweep of both houses and the presidency.

The new "Boston Tea Party" grows ever closer.
There never should have been an income tax. Shouldn't be any property tax on homestead property. Should not have any tax on inheritance whatsoever.
Only federal tax this government should impose is federal sales tax. States should not have any rights to collect any income tax either, just sales/use tax. People should actually have freedom from government at all levels.
Keep your nose clean and go though life without ANY government interference is what I say.
Not enough money for government to spend? -- Then spend less! Cut the fat and shrink down to manageable size. Every non-governmental, non-monopoly based business I have ever heard of has to, to keep going, and so should all these Napoleon wannabes and *their* concepts of government.
I firmly believe we have the best nation, best people around, but man do we have an evil and corrupted monarchical system and people running the show. Worst part is, if it were possible to put in "good" people, they would soon fall pray to, or be converted to, what evil is already in power.
Does anyone else who saw Jericho last night see any similarity with the our current federal government and the Allied States of America of that show. I don't know how intended this similarity was meant to be, but I do know that more then a few of us don't care for how much our government bends and bows to the whims and wishes of the powerful and big business. There is no doubt we all have some vested interest in how well big business does, but we shouldn't be regulated as a people to do the bidding for big business and it's interest. We should not be strangled by our government to supports it's corrupted goals either. I fear that this has been the case for along time, and is these past few years been growing dramatically worse as time moves on. Enough so, that now most everyone of us can see and feel it's grip.
BTW - If you haven't been watching Jericho, here's a link to their website where you can view both season 1 and 2 in their entirety. Great show. I'd watch them in sequence from the first show of season 1 to get the whole plot and story line.

Tax hikes? How else are we going to pay for the 5 year party in Iraq. Anyone who supports the war can't complain about tax hikes. The credit bill comes due at some point, and with the Republican's stance on the Iraq occupation, the bills will be piling up for decades to come.

reliable oil supply,(that benefits the common people more so than the militia) reduced cost in reining in the aggressions of Iran etc.
Winning is all good for us and for them.
Making it happen it not as far away as it was say six years ago.
This can really work.
Iran will fall in of their own accord if it all goes well.

Some of what? Officials in the Bush Administration claimed the war was supposed to have been paying for itself already. We're too far behind the curve to even make up what we've already spent let alone future expenditures. We took out an interest only loan to finance the war and our ARM is maturing soon, if it hasn't already.
Don't lump Iran in with the current costs. We've just about handed Iraq to Iran on a silver platter. No amount of money will undo that. Iran will only be stronger for it, not weaker.

That's just great. Our household finally gets back to the point where we are finally dialed in after many recent changes, to put some $$ away on a regular basis for the future, take care of the kidlet and do OK, and now they're going to nail us again.

It's been the Left that accuses Bush for going to war "for the oil", but I don't recall any Bush representitive of even suggesting that the war would pay for itself.

Amnesia of convenience
Q Back on the cost issue. If the U.S. does not get a second resolution, does the President believe that U.S. taxpayers will disproportionately bear the burden of the reconstruction costs in Iraq?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the reconstruction costs remain a very -- an issue for the future. And Iraq, unlike Afghanistan, is a rather wealthy country. Iraq has tremendous resources that belong to the Iraqi people. And so there are a variety of means that Iraq has to be able to shoulder much of the burden for their own reconstruction.
Just in the time it took for me to write this we gave $15K to the Iraqi Insurgents.

Looks like a semantic debate to me. Only one of these addresses the war cost. The rest address the "reconstruction" cost.

It does depend slightly on your network set up at present.
The key is whether you can feed a 24 port switch that has desktops connected to it with a sufficient bandwidth to provide the 1GB to destkop. i.e. it is not worth connecting the clients at 1GB if the switch itself can only connect to the core at 1 or 2 GB (unless the clients are only need a good connection to each other).
It is going to be getting the bandwidth in to your core that is going to cost the most money.
If however you have one central place where all your sockets terminate then it is probably not that much more expensive to buy stackable switches that have 1GB ports and definately worth the investment.

Amarin: Fish-Oil Pill Serves Up Second Study Win
MYSTIC, Conn. ( TheStreet) -- Amarin's (AMRN) medicinal-grade fish oil drug AMR101 significantly lowered triglyceride levels without raising "bad" LDL cholesterol, according to results of a late-stage study reported Monday.
That's the exact same lede I used last November when Amarin reported strongly positive results from the first phase III study of AMR101 known as "Marine." Today's data from the second phase III "Anchor" study of AMR101 are equally positive and impressive -- perhaps even more so because the patients enrolled were already being treated with cholesterol-lowering statin drugs like Zocor, Crestor and Lipitor.
Amarin shares were up 65% to $14.50 in pre-market trading Monday. The stock closed Friday at $8.77.
Amarin plans to seek U.S. approval of AMR101 before the end of the third quarter. AMR101, if approved, has the potential to be a blockbuster drug generated well over $1 billion in annual sales.AMR101 is an ultra-purified form of the omega-3 fatty acid known as Ethyl EPA. The Anchor study enrolled patients with "mixed" trigylceride baseline levels (200-500 mg/dl) who were also on statin therapy. This is a patient population about 10 times larger than the patient population targeted in the Marine study, in which patients had very high, uncontrollable trigylceride levels. Treatment with a 4 gram and 2 gram doses of AMR101 resulted in placebo-adjusted reductions in triglyceride levels of 21.5% and 10.1%, respectively. These results were statistically significant and met the primary endpoint of the Anchor study, Amarin said. Just as importantly, patients treated with the 4-gram dose of AMR101 reported a 6.2% reduction in levels of LDL cholesterol, demonstrating statistically significant superiority over placebo. The lower 2-gram dose of AMR101 demonstrated a 3.6% reduction in LDL cholesterol versus placebo but this result was not statistically significant. "I am very impressed with the performance of AMR101," said Dr. Christie Ballantyne of Houston's Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Center and the principal investigator of the Anchor trial," in a statement. "In particular, whereas current triglyceride-lowering drugs may raise LDL-C and causes patient treatment concerns, AMR101 demonstrated a decrease in LDL-C beyond the decrease created by statin therapy." GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) sells a competing prescription fish oil pill known as Lovaza that generates close to $1 billion in annual sales. Lovaza, however, isn't used to treat patients with mixed triglyceride levels because the drug causes elevations of LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels.

Hamid Idris Awate
Hamid Idris Awate (10 April 1910 – 28 May 1962) was an Eritrean independence leader and the creator of the Eritrean Liberation Army (the armed wing of the Eritrean Liberation Front).
Early life in Italian Eritrea[edit]
Hamid Awate was born on April 10, 1910 in village Gerset, located between Tessenei and Omhajer in southwestern Italian Eritrea. His father, a peasant, trained him as early as childhood in the use of guns.
In 1935, he was conscripted by the Italians to serve in the colonial army of the Eritrean Ascari. Beside his fluency in Arabic, Tigre, Tigrinya, Nara, Hedareb, and Kunama, Awate learned very well the Italian language within a short period of time and was sent to Rome for a course in military intelligence.[1]
After returning from Italy, he was appointed as a security officer in western Eritrea. Shortly after, he served as deputy chief (Mayor) of the city of Kassala (Sudan) and its surroundings during the brief Italian occupation of that city in 1940/1941 at the beginning of World War II.[2] As Mayor of Kassala he promoted the political union of that city to his Eritrea (an Italian-created nation that was even called Primigenia, or "first daughter" of Italy), but the English attack at the end of January 1941 forced him to renounce to it.
He fought as an ascari in the Battle of Keren and participated in the Italian guerrilla war in Eritrea against the British and Ethiopians in World War II with the cavalrymen of Ali Gabre.
After the victory of Great Britain against Italy in World War II in Eritrea, Awate settled in western Eritrea but eventually went into a dispute against the British authorities and began an armed campaign against the British presence in Eritrea from 1942 to 1949. Afterwards, Awate and his armed faction came to a truce agreement with the British authorities.
In the meantime the Eritrean independence movement was taking shape and working towards making Eritrea an independent country by peaceful means rather than joining landlocked Ethiopia. At the same time the Ethiopian government was desperately seeking an access to the sea through annexing Eritrea to its territory through the help and collaboration of Britain and USA and against the wish of the Eritrean people.
Resistance against Ethiopia[edit]
In 1958 a group of Eritrean exiles in Cairo founded the Eritrean Liberation Movement under Awate's leadership.[3]
In July 1960, in the city of Cairo, a group of young Eritrean students and intellectuals held a meeting and formed the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF). The group consisted of the following men:
Back home, the Ethiopian authorities were suspicious of Awate's movements and activities, and were watching him closely. Ethiopian police forces planned to arrest Awate in his village in August 1961. Turkey explains that the Ethiopians deployed a large amount of police forces but their plans were foiled by an Eritrean nationalist within the Ethiopian police who informed Awate earlier of that plan. Awate then fled to Mount Adal located to the west of Agordat.
Awate's decision to begin armed resistance was reached after a period of long deliberations with other nationalists. In an interview with Eritrea Al-haditha, issue #75, second year, pioneer Mohammed Al-Hassan Dohen, a long time friend of Awate and Awate's assistant when he was district chief, says: "In the year 1960, Idris Mohammed Adem sent a letter to Awate, the letter was written in Arabic. Hamid Awate told me that Idris Mohammed Adem was asking him to declare the armed struggle; but he was not ready for it at that time. After four months, Mohammed Al-Shiekh Daood came and asked Awate to declare the revolution. Awate agreed to lead the armed struggle and declare the revolution but asked for support. Mohammed Al-Shiekh Daood provided Awate with old arms, three five bullet rifles "abu khamsa" and gave him 300 Birr with sugar and tea. In addition, Ibrahim Mohammed Ali brought two rifles and myself owned a rifle. At the beginning we were only seven, then shortly our number had grown to be 13 fighters."
The Ethiopian authorities immediately responded to Awate's declaration. According to Awate's contemporaries, a military unit in six trucks was sent to apprehend Awate but failed. The Ethiopians resorted to using different tactics to deal with Awate. Mohammed Al-Hassan Dohen indicates in his interview that Omer Hassano and Ejiel Abdulrahman did a last minute appeal to end Awate's rebellion on August 1961. Awate responded saying: "If you want us to end our armed struggle, then you better lower the Ethiopian flag and raise up the Eritrean flag."
On September 1, 1961, eleven rebels led by Awate attacked police posts in the west of Eritrea include one on Mount Adal. A fierce battle ensued between Awate's and Ethiopian forces, lasting seven hours and ending in a stalemate.
On May 27, 1962, Awate drank milk for dinner, then soon told his unit that he was not feeling good. His condition began to deteriorate quickly. Awate died on May 28, 1962 aged 52. Wounded in his last battle death may have been due to battle wounds, though some claim it was from natural causes. He was buried near Haykota, Gash Barka.
A statue was erected by the Government of Eritrea on 1 September 1994 at his grave site.[4]
On 16 October 2011, Eritrea's national hero, Hamid Idris Awate, was honoured by the town of Cologno Monteze near Milan which dedicated a tree in his name in the area within the Aldo Moro Park called "Garden of the Just of the World". Eritrea's hero Awate was one of the nine persons who were honoured with dedication of nine trees for their services and sacrifices for justice. Padre Marino Haile was one of the attendants of the ceremony at Cologno Monteze. Many friends of Eritrea attended the ceremony together with Eritrean nationals who included Mr. Kidanemariam Michael, president of the City Council for Peace of Cologno and Dr. Seghid Herui.[5]
Even in Italy Awate is celebrated by the Italo-Eritrean associations.

That chinese restaurant is now open in the CC mall (calling the chinese food gurus)
I'm curious why you think the food was worth half of what it costs (I've also been, and was impressed, esp. by the dan dan noodles). Rent in the space is likely insane (thus the crazy turnover of food places at the CC mall) and considering that, I suspect the food portion of the bill (as opposed the rent portion) is not significantly more than in the SGV. Nobody will ever be able to charge SGV prices if they are paying more than SGV per square foot rent; anyone hoping for that will just be disappointed.

Bone-In Leg of Lamb -- How Should I Cook

Random Tipping etiquette question. I was at a cash-only restaurant the other day, and when the time came to pay, I had enough cash for dinner and a not quite adequate tip (less than 15% - was a few bucks more expensive than I expected). Do I leave a small tip, or pay $3 to use the ripoff ATM in the restaurant (to add maybe $5 to the tip).
Similar question re: tipping when no small bills.

Good sushi/hot dishes near financial district?
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good sushi place with a good assortment of hot dishes within a short cab hop from the financial district? Thinking along the lines of Katsuya/Matsuhisa in LA or Umami in the marina. Thanks.

salt-packed anchovies in West L.A.
Anyone know where to find salt-packed anchovies in West L.A.? So far I've tried two whole foods, vicenti foods, and bay cities, and no luck. Whole Foods said they used to carry them. Any ideas?

Meeting with some friends pre-flight, and they have a baby. What is a good, baby-friendly place around the airport? Thinking Pann's for now.

I forget the names, but they were the mid-range places recommended by Frommer's, two near Via Veneto and one near the Spanish Steps. Probably not the finest cuisine Rome had to offer, but I assume they were at least somewhat representative.
Apr 20, 2008BabyLitigator in Italy
The Drago restaurants in L.A., in addition to La Terza and Vincenti, seem on similar wavelengths to a lot of the restaurants in Rome, and at least in the same ballpark in terms of quality.
Apr 20, 2008BabyLitigator in Italy
Been in Rome for a few days, and went to our first recommended restaurant, 'Gusto 28 in Piazza Augusto Imperatore. It is a modern seafood and vegetarian restaurant, comparable in price and type of food to somewhere like Drago in Los Angeles.
We had the fried anchovies, the pacherri (kind of like a larger homemade rigatoni) with tomato and eggplant, the pacherri with artichoke hearts and mussels, the salt cod in a tomato broth, and the fried fish. All were excellent, and the first meal we've had here that we could not get in L.A. The pacherri and salt cod were particularly good. Although we did not have the whole branzino, it was prepared next to our table for two other parties, and it looked excellent (we woul probably order it if we went back)
One random note though. I had heard that portion sizes were smaller here in Europe, but I have not found it to be so. The size is consistent with what one would find at a similar restaurant in L.A (as opposed to someplace like Osteria Mozza, where the primi are very small). I have no idea how people manage to eat a primi and a secondi without getting huge.
Also, even with the euro (1.58 right now), the prices seem more or less in line with Los Angeles, a bit less than NY, and more than Chicago.

10 Beauty Products You Dont Really Need
Nix these useless items from your routine to save time and money
By Anne Roderique-Jones
10. Cuticle Oil
Seems like a great idea—10 tiny drops each time you get an indulgent manicure. But "oil doesn't stay put, and for damaged or split cuticles, creams and ointments stay on longer," says Dr. Waldorf. She suggests using an affordable brand from the drugstore, like Aquaphor or Vaseline, for the ultimate cuticle cure.

Creating a Media-less Recovery / Installation Partition
After purchasing my new Student Version of Windows 7 Professional I was keen to do a full system format, and start fresh. I no longer had a need for the Dell Recovery Partition which contained Vista (and a decent amount of bloatware), so I removed all partitions from my disk to start with a blank 180GB HDD.
I thought to myself, if I am going to start fresh I might as well do things right and mimic Dell's setup with a recovery partition of my own. Now to be fair, this isn't an extremely wild idea as there are plenty of manufacturers and software companies who provide such solutions very simple and easy. Everyone knows that Norton Ghost is fantastic, and Acronis TrueImage is right there with them. Of course you can simply run-up Imagex along with WinPE and sysprep a WIM to re-image your HDD at anytime for a free solution. However, all these solutions require that you have some sort of recovery media for boot time operation, and the Imagex solution isn't for the faint of heart. Now I do a lot of travel, and I wanted a solution that didn't require me to look after a bootable DVD or USB stick, and because I am working with a laptop I didn't have second disk which I could boot from via BIOS settings. My recovery solution had to be a Primary Partition on my only HDD with boot time options (in case my system is completely rooted.)
This turned out to be quite the challenge, as Windows 7 / Vista no longer support the simple easy boot.ini file that allows you to manually adjust boot time parameters. Instead Windows 7 / Vista have moved onto some fancy form of bootsect / BCD (Boot Configuration Data) which is very difficult to edit manually. Thankfully all of my hard work paid off and I now have a self sufficient system with all the diagnostics and re-imaging tools I could ever need. And thanks to Windows 7's new Backup and Restore options, I was also able to include a system image which contained all of my settings and applications so that I don't have to sit through 10 hours of Windows Update again.
What I ended up with is a Primary partition on my HDD that is a full and complete bootable version of the Windows 7 installation media. When I choose this partition at boot time it is exactly as if I have inserted the Windows 7 Install DVD into my disk drive! I can utilise all of the tools in the Windows Recovery Console (which includes the option to restore from a previously created system image), or I can simply re-install Windows 7 from scratch - without affecting my restore partition or boot menu variables!
Hopefully this is useful to the community; personally it was exactly what I needed.
**Things to note**
I have yet to verify if this is possible with other versions / types of Windows 7. I started with the downloadable Windows 7 Professional Student Edition, and followed this guide to create a bootable .ISO from the files. I then extracted the contents of that .ISO to create my bootable partition. If you have any other version / type of Windows 7, please post in here and let us know if this works!
I did this on a 32-bit system, but I don't see why a 64-bit system would differ.
I manually created my partitions using DISKPART, in order to avoid the 100MB hidden partition that Windows creates automatically for use with ShadowCopy and BitLocker. I have no use for these features, and did not want the extra Primary Partition on my disk.
You must utilise only Primary Partitions. Logical or Extended Partitions will not work!
You must utilise Basic Disk. A Dynamic Disk will not work!
My apologies for the poor-quality photos!
Continue to the next post for the detailed tutorial....
|My System Specs
|02 Nov 2009
Step 1.
Insert your Windows 7 Installation DVD and boot from it. When the first screen appears asking you for language and keyboard layout press "Shift + F10". This will bring up a command prompt.
(See "Step1.jpg" attached.)
Step 2.
In the command prompt type 'DISKPART' to enter the DISKPART utility.
Type 'list disk' to see available hard drives.
Type 'select disk [#]' where the number is the disk that you want to install Windows.
Type 'list part' to see a list of partitions currently on the disk.
This is where we will delete all partitions that we no longer need. WARNING – You will lose all data that resides on these partitions. You may not be prompted with any "Confirm" dialogues as it is assumed if you are using DISKPART you are smart enough to know.
Type 'delete partition [#]' where the number is the partition you want to delete. Repeat this step until all partitions that you want to remove are gone.
(See Step2.jpg attached.)
Step 3.
We are now going to create all of the partitions that we will need on this disk. My disk consists of two Primary partitions. One is my C:\ drive where I will install Windows, and the other is my D:\ drive which I will name "Recovery". I have decided to make my Recovery partition 50GB in size. This will accommodate the Windows 7 Install files, as well as a system image with all of my applications and Windows Updates applied.
I wanted my Windows 7 Partition to come first on the disk, so I need to create this partition first. Since I have a 180GB HDD, and I wanted a 50GB Recovery partition I created a 130GB partition first.
First make sure you have selected the correct disk. Type 'select disk [#]'.
Type 'create partition primary size=133120' (The size here is in MB)
Now create the Recovery Partition
Type 'create partition primary'. This will simply use up the rest of the remaining space, which was 50GB for me. To verify this has all worked properly you can again type 'list partition' and you should see your partitions, with a type of "Primary". You can also type 'list volume', and you should see an "FS" of "RAW".
Step 4.
Now that the partitions exist, we are going to format them both as NTFS.
Type 'select partition [#]' to select the first partition you created.
Type 'format fs=ntfs label="Windows 7" quick (The 'label' and 'quick' arguments are optional)
Now select the Recovery partition.
Type 'select partition [#]'
Type 'format fs=ntfs label="Recovery" quick'
Again you can type 'list partition' and 'list volume' to verify.
Now we have finished playing with DISKPART. You can exit out of the command prompt and continue installing windows as normal. Be sure to select the correct partition when the installer asks you where to install. Simply leave the Recovery Partition alone for now; we will come back to it later.
(See Step4.jpg attached.)
Step 5.
Install Windows 7 as normal, making sure to install it to the correct partition (which you just created). Finish the install procedure and boot into Windows for the first time. Install all available Windows Updates. Activate your copy of Windows 7 to make it Genuine. Install any applications, drivers and/or files that you want to be part of your recoverable image. Adjust all of your settings in the Control Panel and generally configure any settings which you don't want to have to re-do in the future. I also recommend that you Defragment your hard drive to optimize it as much as possible.
Step 6.
No we are going to begin working with the Recovery Partition. This step requires two things, A) Your Windows 7 Installation Disk and B) A copy of EasyBCD which you can download for free here: NeoSmart Technologies
Copy the ENTIRE contents of your Windows 7 Installation Disk onto your Recovery partition.
Install and run EasyBCD.
Step 7.
In EasyBCD you should only have a single entry in the Bootloader. It should look similar to the attached image at the very bottom of this post.
We are now going to add an entry to the Bootloader, so that we can boot from the Recovery Partition (which is – in effect – the Windows 7 Installation DVD!)
Navigate to the "Add Remove Entries" button on the left and select it.
Towards the bottom right, select the "WinPE" tab.
Change the Drop-Down menu for "Type" to "WIM Image (Ramdisk)".
Name it anything you'd like. (I used "Install")
In the path, select the Browse button and navigate to "D:\sources\boot.wim".
Leave the "EMS Enabled" box unchecked, and press "Add Entry".
Now your Bootloader should have 2 entries, and should look like the attached "Step7.3.gif".
You're Done! In 7 easy steps, you have made a bootable partition out of the Windows 7 Installation Media! Next time you reboot, you will be prompted to choose which Partition you would like to boot from. After 30 seconds it will automatically choose your Windows 7 partition, and boot as usual. If you choose the other option "Ramdiskoptions", it will act as if you have inserted your Windows 7 Install DVD!
P.S. – I don't know why it is named "Ramdiskoptions" instead of "Install" as I specified, but I am not too concerned. If anyone figures out how to change this let us know!
Browse the rest of the attachments for screenshots!
Move onto the next post to customise things a bit further, including a System Image and adjusting bootloader timeouts.
|My System Specs
|02 Nov 2009
Create a System Image for recovering files and applications
Windows 7 now includes options for creating a full System Image so that you can restore from it in case your system becomes unstable. Unfortunately, in a normal install you would require the Windows 7 Install DVD in order to boot into the Recovery Console and deploy the image. Lucky for us, we have the Windows 7 Install DVD on a partition, so we can boot from that instead!
Navigate to your Control Panel and choose Backup and Restore.
On the left side choose Create a System Image.
Follow the prompts and place your system image on your Recovery Partition.
After copying the Windows 7 disk and creating my System Image, my Recovery Partition looks like the attached screenshot, "RecoveryDrive.gif"
If you want to deploy this, when you boot from your Recovery drive simply select Repair instead of Install. The Recovery Console will automatically locate the system image that youve created!
Modify the timeout value for the Bootloader
Open EasyBCD and navigate to Change Settings.
Here you can modify the bootloader timeout, the default OS and names / drive mappings.
I have set my timeout to 3 seconds so that it barely impacts my boot time.
(See "Step9.gif attached.)
Cheers mates, and thanks to SevenForums.com for tons of useful information that led me to this procedure! Hopefully my contribution is worthwhile, and I can give back to the community which helped me along my way!

Man you are great....its pretty useful though i did not tried..but let me ask a simple question to continue further
"Copy the ENTIRE contents of your Windows 7 Installation Disk onto your Recovery partition"
what does that mean...can u plz explain...
more i m using the pirated win 7 to i hope it wont effect anything ???
|My System Specs
|14 Jan 2010
It literally means copy the entire disk contents.
Drop the DVD into your drive, right click on it and "Explore". The select everything (Ctrl + A), copy and paste to your recovery partition. (Ctrl + C , Ctrl + V)
Via a Command Prompt you can type the following (this example uses D:\ for your DVD drive, and R:\ for your recovery partition)
xcopy d:\* r:\ /H /Q /E
|My System Specs
|15 Jan 2010
A simpler, though more expensive way:
Install Acronis True Image 2010.
Install the Acronis Recovery Manager.
Setup your backup schedule.
At boot time, Press F11 when prompted to do so, you're in the full Acronis recovery application.
You will have to Disable Defrag of Boot Files at Startup or every 3 days the F11 prompt disappears and you have to reinstall ARM.
Main advantage to doing it this way is you can restore to the last good backup you took rather then to a clean install state.
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2010
Thanx cerealkiller....but what does this mean....xcopy d:\* r:\ /H /Q /E
I mean Q, H, E ??? although now everything z clear.....
thnx again
Ztruker....thats a good way but its good to start from a clean setup rather than to restore....
|My System Specs

Vista x64 / 7 X64
A better way and it's free ( only for a couple of days - so be quick) . Create a backup capsule :
Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Compact [64-bit]
Paragon Backup & Recovery 10 Compact [32-bit]
|My System Specs
|18 Jan 2010
Looks like you actually have to install it to get the free key. Bummer, as I wanted to download it, get the key and save it for another time.

Windows 7 Professional
This worked awesome for me, ty for the advice. The Only question I have which i will probley find out any ways is if i boot from the restore partition will it reload the applications such as avg free and microsoft office that i put on, or should i do a back up of those files and save them to the restore partition

I was inmy room in Berlin confused about my next stop when some stranger i knew for about five minutes says Prague is cool...Works for me! Nice town except I'm further into the language barrier and the locals are a little bitter sometimes because its a huge english tourist spot. I cn see why, local beers are 1.50 max and waters about 2! Haha, I met two canadians on out way to thehostel and we've been getting each other lost together ever since! Best restaurant so far was a pub/brewery with wicked dumplings and goulash and crazy beers of all colours and flavours brewed there:Banana beer is my favurite i might need one for a balanced breakfast! I'm off to see a romantic church made completely out of bones then tomorrow i'm off to vienna.
Ciao (they say it here too haha)
Czeck you out
Kevan Marshall!

but we shouldn't be surprised
please there are hundreds of gaffes that both bushes and ronald reagan made as president, let's not pretend stupidity started in 2010.
how about policy stupidities, and i'm not going to go back far in comparison cos they're all guilty
Wait, Amber Rose was killed in Afghanistan? Or….you're too stupid to create your own blog, so you just post irrelevant political shit in the comments section of someone else's celebrity gossip blog?
It's not just her ass. It's the shaved head, the tits, the face, the legs, the feet, she's a gorgeous little whore. The ass just seals the deal… Looks so tasty and fun.
Wow you are a fucking loser.
You come to a celeb blog to post political commentary.
As someone else said, you are clearly too fucking stupid to create your own blog.
How fucking sad are you?
like her mouth in that position, it's as if she's asking the mic for some shake.
batter flavor. all over her face and chest.
an image with photoshopped weiner (euphemism recently allowed) twit them luscious lipz coming soon to a porn site near u.
She has a great shaped head and all to be sporting the bald look, but I can't help but think how much more fap-able this pic would be if she only had long hair.
she's nowhere near black
she's european/latina at best, and only half.
She portuguese and irish
Afro does not grow long, afro grows wide and round
@rican: She's italian, cape verdean, and irish
and half black
She is white. All white.
Just because she fucks black guys does not make her black.
She does not even look black in the photos, where would you get that?
HALF black. Look closely.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: we're all pink on the inside.
Gorgeous face, fame whore, i'd like to see her and kim go at it
Does it fucking matter what race she is? Shit you people are pathetic.
I'm not talking about her race you narrow minded moron, I'm talking about her hair.
+1 internets
She makes my milk shake a thick shake ie she makes my penis stifffen. That's right 3 F's. It's that stifffened. Fffuly…
I can't imagine being able to enjoy a woman whose head would inevitably remind me of a truck drivers 3 day beard.
there are pics of her with hair, and imo she looks better without. pretty strange. damn she is really fuckin sexy.
That pose obviously makes me think of a certain sex act, however, putting my hand on the back of her head and feeling 3 day old stubble would be a bit disconcerting.
You do know it has its own "Straw", don't you. Why elese would gay boy Kanye West fuck it.
I don't get it, she has an incredible body. Why bald? Well she dated Kanye so maybe she does have no brains.
I don't get why she is famous. I don't.
She looks OK.
She banged Kanye West.
… ?
Why is she famous?
Why is this "woman" popular???
…"no!! No!!! NO!!! Amber that's not a big black cock, that's a……to late—-Ummm, guys, we got another mike in the van"???……Arotfwar
Dangit, beat me to that one. Well played.
If you don't think she's hot, you're wrong. Plain and simple.
I'm wrong, plain, and simple. If I was from NJ I'd be on 'Jersey Shore'.
I wish she'd let her hair grow.
Fucking a celebrity & going topless on Miami Beach sure paid off for Amber.
god is that bitch hideous. who pays her to model??? someone should pay her to stay at home with the blinds closed.
i've seen pics of her with long hair and she IS pretty but wouldnt' stand out in a crowd of other wanna-be's….we look at her BECAUSE she's the "bald chick"…
Sorry, but I just don't think her cellulite legs and ass are "amazing". She wishes she could grow long, beautiful hair. Bald skank. Go fuck another rapper and catch an std. Skank!
She IS a skank, but you're out of your mind if you think her body is not amazing! I'll take that juicy body over the average waif "model" any day. With normal hair she would be damn near perfect.
yeah, those cottage cheese thighs are 'amazing'. it looks like she just got up off a gravel driveway. dude, she's a fat broad – just get over it. its ok to be a chubby chaser.
@Tony, yu know what your talking about, it is kinda sad when ppl come on this site and bag out Beautiful women such as Amber Rose, when their girlfriends look like they belong in the zoo show! they all wish they could bite that beautiful women's cheesy ass! haha LOSER'S!!!!
@Tony, if you think her stretched out cavernous vag is perfect…then have fun. I advise that you should tie a board to your ass so you don't fall in. She is a disgusting, ex-stripper who fucks any rapper who will hit it. Nasty shit.
@Any Guy…thank you! Someone with common sense.
Just too thick for my taste from the waist down.
nobody will hire her for some serious shots.
Few people remember the failed "Leave It To Beaver" promotional attempt, The "Whitey Sex Doll", and rightfully so.
She'd better wear gloves. You never know how many dicks she has handled that day.
i think she is beautiful & she looks 100 times better than gurls who are just skin and bones.
omg, your post said it all! wtf is wrong with this place?

I was already doing research for a story I hoped to write about book hoarding and now seem to have missed the boat, but that's not the only reason I'm irritated by this National Post essay, Confessions of a Book Hoarder. Sure, it's meant to be funny -- hoarding, that's hi-lar-i-ous!! -- but I find it flippant and smirky.
Just because you have a lot of books, that doesn't mean you're a bibliomaniac. Can you walk through

Equipment Management Solutions Offers Easy Way to Keep on Top of Expenses
In today's financial environment, the ever-increasing cost of equipment ownership has heightened the need for credit unions to reduce expenses, increase efficiencies and plan for tomorrow. The Equipment Management Solutions program from Great American Insurance Group effectively assists credit unions in accomplishing this and more.
With EMS, costly equipment service contracts are replaced with a single, comprehensive, multivendor, equipment service agreement that allows credit unions to reduce and control equipment service costs while maintaining a capped budget. Covered costs are capped annually which allows credit unions to budget equipment maintenance and repair expenses with certainty.
With guidance from Great American's experienced EMS consultants, organizations select the equipment to be enrolled in the program and then determine what level of coverage is needed.
When service is needed, a call is simply placed to the preselected service vendor or Great American's 24/7 service dispatch center.
Service options include original equipment manufacturers, independent service organizations and in-house service technicians.
Managing equipment service needs with the EMS program offers many advantages including:
EMS protection is available on a wide range of equipment including, but not limited to, financial, security, office, facility, information technology and telecommunications.
For additional information, visit the GAIC booth at the AC&E June 5-6 or contact CUSG Lending & Insurance Consultant Alan Babcock at 800-262-6285, ext. 252, or email@example.com

Organisational Culture
Every organisation has its own system and ways through which work is performed. Even when that combination produces positive outcomes, it is important to understand why things are done in a particular way. The answer simply lies on organisational culture.
Like in our homes where we create a method of doing things, even though it might not work well and cause more problems than solve solutions, organisations face the same issue but in a larger scale.
People have different perceptions of life and the trend is to make things suit our needs rather the needs of the organisation. Organisational rules and procedures are always implemented to define the means by which tasks must be undertaken and the norms to follow. At this point, it starts to create a bubble of issues. Some staff members might disagree with policies, procedures and actions plans implemented, while others take the opportunity to look for a promotion or merely abide to the rules.
I remember years ago when I worked in an organisation where most people complained about nearly everything, except for the fact that they could eat and drink as much as they wanted. In fact, most staff members always held something in their hands – a cup of tea or coffee !!
The management was a failure and I saw three managers in a year. Quite a lot considering that other branches were doing okay. The last standing manager had an arduous task which was to change the modus operandi and enhance productivity. Recalling her lack of managerial skills, I remember overhearing her on the telephone with her husband asking for advice on various topics.
The management lack of expertise can cause a cascade of issues. In that case, work absenteeism was common. There were times when staff would make arrangement between themselves to boycott the work. There was a denial in accepting the new management approach to the organisation. Very few people believed she was an asset needed in that particular organisation.
That chain of events lead to poor stuff turnover, an increase in staff sickness and poor work performance.
Successful management involves the use of interpersonal skills and the ability to negotiate key aspects of the change they aim at implementing before leading any change.
Managers cannot manage without people. People need managers to guide them through a specific journey. That co-operation must be harmonious or at least dealt with diplomacy. The ultimate beneficiaries are the organisation as a whole.

(Updates with economist's comment in fourth paragraph.)
Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Wholesale prices in the U.S. were little changed in August as costs decreased for energy and automobiles.
The producer price index was unchanged after a 0.2 percent increase in July, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. Economists projected no change, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The so-called core measure, which excludes volatile food and energy, rose 0.1 percent, less than forecast.
Slowing growth overseas and in the U.S. is helping restrain raw-material costs, underscoring Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke view that price gains are "transitory." Cooling prices make it easier for policy makers to take additional steps when they meet next week to keep the economy expanding.
"Inflation is cooling and that will provide some relief for consumers," said Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo Securities LLC in Charlotte, North Carolina, who projected no change in August producer prices. "With inflation seeming to crest, it gives the Fed a freer hand."
Retail sales in August unexpectedly stagnated as a lack of jobs restrained shoppers, highlighting the risk the economy will stall. The unchanged reading followed a 0.3 percent gain for July that was smaller than previously estimated, Commerce Department figures showed in Washington.
Index Futures
Stock-index futures trimmed gains after the reports. The contract on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index expiring in December rose 0.8 percent to 1,174.6 at 8:45 a.m. in New York after rallying as much as 1.2 percent earlier.
The median estimate for producer prices was based on forecasts from 77 economists. Projections ranged from declines of 0.6 percent to increases of 0.9 percent.
Compared with August 2010, companies paid 6.5 percent more for goods last month, the smallest gain since April, after a 7.2 percent rise in July.
Wholesale prices excluding volatile food and energy costs, were projected to rise 0.2 percent from the prior month, the Bloomberg survey showed. Core wholesale prices climbed 2.5 percent in the 12 months ended in August.
Tire Prices
The biggest price gain for tires since April accounted for more than 20 percent of the increase in the core measure, the Labor Department said. Higher costs for radio and television communications equipment also contributed to the gain in the core index. Tire prices climbed 1.4 percent.
Fuel costs fell 1 percent, reflecting declines for liquefied petroleum gas, diesel, heating oil and gasoline, today's report showed. The cost of finished consumer foods rose 1.1 percent, the most since February, led by eggs and poultry. Processed poultry costs rose the most since August 2006.
Expenses for intermediate goods decreased 0.5 percent from the prior month, the first decline since July 2010, while prices of crude goods rose 0.2 percent.
Lowe's Cos. Inc., the second-largest home-improvement retailer, has been raising its prices on some goods as it sees increased costs from vendors.
"Vendors are coming forward with price-increase requests," Robert Gfeller, executive vice president for merchandising at Lowe's, said in a teleconference Sept. 7. "Our approach is to negotiate as hard as we can to the lowest cost possible. Where we have taken (increased) pricing, we have moved some through to retail."
Vehicle Costs
The cost of passenger cars dropped 0.4 percent in August, today's report showed.
Toyota Motor Corp. is among carmakers offering lower prices after inventories recovered following the earthquake and tsunami in March. The Toyota City, Japan-based automaker is starting a blitz of U.S. model releases, some of them with cheaper price- tags, to regain sales lost to rivals such as Hyundai Motor Co. after three years that included recession, recalls and the earthquake.
Toyota last month unveiled the 2012 Camry in Hollywood, California, with price reductions ranging from $200 to $2,000 on the top-end, four-cylinder Camry, Bob Carter, group vice president of U.S. sales, said in an interview.
"We see little indication that the higher rate of inflation experienced so far this year has become ingrained in the economy," Bernanke told the Economic Club of Minnesota last week. "Inflation is expected to moderate in the coming quarters," he said, citing the waning of "transitory" influences like high fuel prices and global supply disruptions linked to Japan's disaster.
Preferred Gauge
The Fed's preferred price gauge, which excludes food and fuel, rose 1.6 percent in July from a year earlier after climbing 0.9 percent in 2010. Fed policy makers aim for long-run overall inflation of 1.7 percent to 2 percent, according to their June forecast.
Producer prices, one of three monthly inflation gauges reported by the Labor Department, are calculated based on costs on the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th of the month, which may influence month-to-month changes.
Prices of goods imported into the U.S. fell 0.4 percent in August from the prior month, Labor Department data showed yesterday. Costs advanced 13 percent from August 2010.
Consumer prices, the broadest of the three measures, rose 0.2 percent in August, as did the core index, according to the median forecasts of economists surveyed by Bloomberg before a Labor Department report tomorrow.

The NHL soundly rejected all counteroffers made from the players' union to its latest proposal, muting optimism for a prompt agreement to end the lockout and preserve an 82-game regular season.
After an hour-long session with the NHLPA's top negotiators on Thursday in Toronto, league commissioner Gary Bettman said he was "to say the least, thoroughly disappointed" with three responses to their 50-50 offer to split revenues and referred to them as a "step backward."
"None of the three variations of player share that they gave us even began to approach 50-50, either at all or for some long period of time," Bettman said told reporters outside the union's offices. "It's clear we're not speaking the same language."
NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said that it made three offers that moved toward an even split of league revenues, which soared to a record $3.3 billion last season. All of the proposals were five years in length as opposed to the league's six-year offer that contain an option for a seventh year.
Two of them would have given the players a fixed amount of revenue based off future growth while the third was a 50-50 share across the board as long as owners honored all player contracts that were agreed to in the last collective bargaining agreement, which expired Sept. 15.
"This is not a good day," Fehr said. "It should have been, but it's not."
Ducks forward Daniel Winnik, who was part of an 18-player contingent that included Sidney Crosby, Jarome Iginla and Jonathan Toews, said Bettman's comments "seems odd to a lot of us" particularly in light of their third offer.
"I didn't expect him to come back and say, 'Hey, where do we sign?'" said Winnik, who is part of the NHLPA's negotiating committee. "Maybe I was hoping that this was the framework that we can work off of. It didn't happen."
In an e-mail to the Register, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said there is "nothing planned at this point" with regard to any more talks in the immediate future before releasing a statement that took issue with Fehr's third proposal.
"The so-called 50-50 deal, plus honoring current contracts proposed by the NHL Players' Association earlier today is being misrepresented," Daly said. "It is not a 50-50 deal. It is, most likely a 56- to 57-percent deal in year one and never gets to 50 percent during the proposed five-year term of the agreement.
"The proposal contemplates paying the players approximately $650 million outside of the players' share. In effect, the union is proposing to change the accounting rules to be able to say '50-50,' when in reality it is not. The union told us that they had not yet 'run the numbers.' We did."
The league took the unusual step of making its latest proposal public on Wednesday after submitting it to Fehr and his group the day before. Bettman had hoped for a deal that could be hammered out in a week to 10 days in order to allow time for teams to have a week-long training camp and then begin the season on Nov. 2.
Two weeks' worth of games that have already been canceled would have been worked into the season by having each team play an additional game every five weeks with perhaps any leftover games added on to the end. Now it appears that a full 82-game slate is in jeopardy.
Bettman intimated on Thursday that the NHL's showcase event, the Winter Classic scheduled for Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium, could be in danger as the league needs to commit money to prepare for the annual outdoor game. Some reports indicate there is strong belief that more games could be canceled, perhaps as soon as Friday.

Korean War Soldier's Remains Return to Kentucky
The remains of a Kentucky soldier who died in the Korean War in 1950 have been identified and are returning to Kentucky to be interred. Sgt. Stanley Wayne Bear was almost 19 years old when he died Sept. 4, 1950, in South Korea as a member of the 25th Infantry Division.
His remains were positively identified by a recovery team in October and his internment is scheduled for Wednesday at the Kentucky Veterans Cemetery North East.
His nephew, Patrick Worthington, told The Independent in Ashland that his mother described him as six-foot-two with blonde hair and blue eyes and towered over the rest of the family.
The family always held out hope that his remains would be discovered and they submitted their DNA that led to a positive identification.
