Sudden hardware incompatibility on clean re-install?
I just built my first rig a week or so ago. I'm not the most experienced troubleshooter.
Intel i7 920, not currently overclocked
Asus P6T LGA
XFX Radeon 5770
G.Skill 3x2GB DDR3 1600
Corsair TX 750watt PSU
A single SATA WD Caviar Black 640GB
A single SATA Lite-on CD/DVD burner
Building went just fine- everything posted right away. I set up a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and Ubuntu 9.10 dual boot. Two partitions for the two OSes, and a third for general storage. My copy of Win7 was purchased from my university's webstore, and the .iso burned to DVD using ImgBurn on a slow speed. The installs went smoothly, everything operated well for about a week.
I started to get some error message about win32kernell.dll being messed up. I thought I might have let AVG move something it shouldn't have. Then on a reboot, I got the "Windows was unable to start" jazz and the repairer, which eventually let me back into the OS, which was still not running smoothly, same error. I didn't have much installed on the machine yet, and decided to just do a new clean install from my install disk rather than mess with it.
Win7 reinstalled smoothly on its partition, if slow, and it seemed alright again for about a day. I then started receiving errors about installers not being able to run properly, and then on reboot, Windows was unable to start again. The repairer got me into the OS, but Windows Explorer was crashing every three seconds and it was unfortunately rather fubared.
Tried to clean install again and got right up to the end before getting a message that Win7 could not set up on my hardware.
The hardware seemed to work fine once, so has something failed recently, and how should I go about testing? If not that, please share. I could try completely reformatting the entire hard drive, not just the Windows partition, but I don't know if this would do any good. If I'm doing something terribly newbish, I apologize for my ways!

Was there any applications that you installed on both installations of Windows 7 you have performed? What other common things did you do between the two (such as adjusting any settings)

Please completely uninstall AVG. It is the worst problem causer, poor performance causer and bsod causer of all Windows software.
After, you will be happy. Do not just disable as that will not help.

I installed AVG the first time, but after the first re-install, I put Avira on instead, so that is already off my system. I'd never had any problems with it before, but I don't think I'll be going back.
I barely had anything installed after the first reinstall... pretty much only Firefox, uTorrent, VLC, AIM, Avira, video driver, and wireless card driver. The only setting I messed with both times was power management, just telling it not to sleep. I hadn't gotten that much of a chance to mess with it.

For the types of errors you're getting, I'd go ahead and uninstall Avira too, to test. It's the likely cause.

At the moment, I can't boot into my OS, and the clean install failed. Even when I last could, I'm not sure I could with Windows Explorer crashing constantly...
EDIT: That's what I was thinking, but do you have any advice on what might be the likely culprit, or how to test? Thank you guys for this!

You can boot to safe mode + networking and try to uninstall the antivirus software from there.
Keep hitting f8 at boot up to get the safe mode + networking choice.
Use Dameware NT Utilities to delete the Avira services too.
Add your machine to favorites if it's not already in Workgroup section in Dameware. Then go to services, delete services.
While deleting, check the box to delete the drivers too.
After, reboot to normal mode.
If that doesn't help, boot to only safe mode and use device manager to uninstall the wireless driver. Again, check the box to delete drivers while trying this.
Reboot to normal mode.

Do you have the GRUB bootloader for your dual boot?
|My System Specs
|13 Dec 2009
First time mashing F8, I got an "overclock failed" message instead. Retried after setting all my BIOS setting back to default, though I'm pretty sure they were already there.
New screen on restart, a BIOSy looking thing that I haven't seen before telling me to select my boot device, which I selected as my hard drive.
I missed the F8 window, because I'm awesome, and got 'Setup is completing services' then, 'Windows could not complete the installation. To install Windows on the computer, restart the computer.' Did so, same error.
Then went back and got into the safe mode choices. After choosing 'Only safe mode' (didn't see your edit before that, sorry!) I got virtually the same error: 'Windows could not complete the installation in Safe Mode. To install Windows on the computer, restart the computer.'
Any other tips or tricks?
As to the GRUB loader, I did have it, but after the first reinstall, Windows took over and the option was not presented anymore. I hear this is normal? I had not taken any steps to get it back yet.

Wet summer has not yet increased EEE threatBy LISA RATHKE
The Associated Press | July 28,2013Despite a wet summer, Vermonts insect expert isnt seeing an alarming number of mosquitoes that tend to carry Eastern equine encephalitis, which killed two people in the state last year.
But state entomologist Alan Graham warns that its only July and the mosquito season doesnt reach its height until August.
The state started testing mosquitoes in parts of Addison and Rutland counties June 17. Workers collect mosquitoes and ship them off to a lab in New York to check for EEE and West Nile virus.
Mosquitoes are out in huge numbers after a wet summer that has hatched large numbers of the insects. The state has 45 species of mosquitoes, and just an inch of rain can trigger a breeding frenzy in areas of standing water.
And they can come off in enormous numbers and indeed they have, Graham said.
While those species may not carry EEE, they may carry West Nile virus, which also is spread to humans by infected mosquitoes and has turned up in one mosquito pool in Addison County so far this year. West Nile isnt as severe as EEE, but it can still cause significant illness, said state epidemiologist Erica Berl.
But so far the species that tends to carry EEE is down from last year.
Last September, an 89-year-old man from Brandon and a 49-year-old man from Sudbury died from EEE, a rare and potentially fatal brain infection spread by mosquitoes. Health Commissioner Dr. Harry Chen said then that there are usually only six cases a year nationwide, and it was Vermonts first time detecting the disease in humans.
The virus can cause two types of human illness.
One comes on suddenly and is characterized by chills, fever, malaise, joint and muscle pain. A more severe illness affects the central nervous system and causes fever, headache, irritability, restlessness, drowsiness, convulsions and coma.
The mosquito species that tend to carry EEE prefer hardwood acidic swamps, which dont have a lot of water turnover and attract acidic-loving plants, like sphagnum moss, Graham said.
Officials advise residents to take precautions against mosquito bites by avoiding outdoor activities at dusk and dawn, wearing long sleeves and pants, and using insect repellent.
The state could also consider doing aerial pesticide spraying of adult insects as it did last year to cut back on the threat of disease. Some local organizations, such as the Brandon-Leicester-Sudbury-Goshen Insect Control District, routinely spray to kill mosquito larvae in the most active breeding grounds.
There are too many variables to predict if EEE will become a problem, but officials hope testing will serve as an early detection system.
Our hope is that wed have a surveillance program that would be able to sort of do an early detection and reduce the number of mosquitoes that might have a risk of transmitting EEE to humans, Graham said.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON - The Auxiliary Bishop of Indianapolis has been appointed the 10th Bishop of...

Man accused of masturbating in public in front of three different women
BY KATE MCCANN Correspondent August 6, 2014 5:04PM
Updated: September 8, 2014 10:25AM
A 22-year-old Frankfort man faces charges after he allegedly masturbated in front of several different women while driving around Mokena and Homer Glen on July 30, police said.
Ryan Cooper, 22, of 22576 Merritton Road, was charged with public indecency.
A Mokena woman reported that a young man sporting "crazy, wild, dark, curly hair" pulled alongside her in a silver Dodge Avenger and asked her for directions to Wolf Road while she was walking alone. When she approached his car, she saw he was masturbating and screamed, and the man fled, police said. The woman was only able to provide a partial license plate number.
As police were taking her statement, they received a second call about a woman complaining that a man matching the description had just asked her for directions to U.S. 30 and sexual favors when she was outside her home in the 20900 block of Tall Grass, police said.
Less than 10 minutes later, at about 5:20 p.m., Mokena police again were called, this time by a woman walking her dog near the intersection of Boulder Ridge Drive and Beaver Creek Lane. That woman complained a man had pulled up to her while masturbating and asked her to perform oral sex on him, police said.
With witnesses having provided a full license plate number, Mokena police learned it had been linked to a complaint taken by Will County police about a man stalking a woman jogging in Homer Glen in the 12200 block of Derby Lane shortly before 4 p.m. that same day, police said. In that instance, a man witnessed the incident and photographed Cooper's car, but the woman already had left the scene, police said.
Orland Park police arrested Cooper at his Frankfort home after police were able to identify him as the man driving the Dodge Avenger, police said.

Rare Element 2011 REE Drilling Underway
VANCOUVER, June 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Rare Element Resources Ltd. (TSX: RES and NYSE Amex: REE) is pleased to announce that the 2011 rare earth element ("REE") drilling program has commenced at the Company's Bear Lodge rare earth element project in Wyoming.
Two core drilling rigs are currently on the project site and will be used to test the Bull Hill REE area and Whitetail Ridge REE targets. A third drill rig is expected to begin work shortly. The program to test the REE targets will consist of approximately 40 angle drill holes to general depths of 400 to 1,200 feet.
The REE drilling program will be augmented by geological mapping, geophysical surveys, soil and rock chip geochemical surveys, and additional bulk sampling of near-surface mineralized material.Rare Element's exploration and evaluation plans for the Bear Lodge project in 2011 include:
- Additional resource definition drilling to expand and upgrade the resources at the Bull Hill SW, Whitetail Ridge, and Bull Hill NW deposits.
- Exploration drilling at the Bull Hill West, Carbon REE, and other prospective REE targets identified during the 2010 exploration program.
- Geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and geophysical surveys over selected areas in order to better delineate current target areas and identify new targets for economic REE mineralization.
- Collection of additional bulk sample mineralized material for the pilot plant testing from a second large diameter core drilling program in select, well-mineralized areas, along with additional sampling of mineralized surface exposures in road cuts, trenches, and drill sites.
- A condemnation drilling program to ensure that the proposed low-grade stockpile and waste facility will not cover ground that is prospective for REE and/or gold mineralization.
- Environmental baseline and geotechnical studies directed toward ultimate mine development.
- Continued metallurgical testing of oxide zone mineralized material for optimization of mineral concentration and chemical concentration processes.
- Pilot plant metallurgical testing on bulk sample material collected in 2010 to produce a potentially saleable rare earth carbonate concentrate.
- Continuation of metallurgical testing on the oxide-carbonate mineralized material.
- Completion of a Preliminary Feasibility Study in the first quarter of 2012.

Mike Di Ioia lost more than 100 pounds by sticking to a rigid diet, but is haunted by memories of being sick, overweight, and afraid of dying. Diane Webber-Thrush tries to stop a modest wine-drinking habit, but a rough day at the office sends her back to the liquor store.
The dirty little secret about addictions is that relapsing is the rule, not the exception. Up to 80 percent of alcoholics treated for a drinking problem will hit the bottle again at least once. Between 60 and 90 percent of smokers light up within a year of stopping, and more than 90 percent of the gamblers who quit on their own will eventually place another bet. Even minor bad habits are hard to break: People make the same New Year's resolution for an average of five years running before they maintain the change for even six months.

The Case for Making a Lateral Move or Simply Staying Put for Now
We're so accustomed to having a career path drilled upon us to work harder, better, faster for the next promotion, the bigger office, better paying job.
Maybe our society is just full of overachievers, hence the purpose of this particular blog post.
Well, a promotion isn't necessarily the answer to everyone's career dreams nor should it be. We want to remind you that it's perfectly okay to not want that big job and fine to feel content where you are right now. And it's also completely fine (hey, who are we to judge anyway, right?) to pursue a lateral move for the sake of learning something new that's not the next rung on the corporate ladder. Read more

With minimal leveraging and a limited supply of prime development plots Phuket has been able to stem the global and regional rising tide of depreciating prices, at least for the moment. Industry watchers are now viewing closely the outcome of the bidding on the 150 rai Laem Ka Properties site which was to have been managed by international chain Four Seasons. With Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels brokering a sale with Lehman's liquidators there is keen interest to see at what price the premium site will transact at.
In past years appraisals of institutional properties on the island and its environs have had difficulty benchmarking comparable transactions though noteworthy ones included Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels site in Bangtao where the present Shangri La Resort is being developed, Thai Muang by Richard Li's Pacific Century Group and most recently Pacific Star's Ko Pilai acquisition.
Prior to the economic downturn large prime oceanfront sites for hotels and mixed use were widely regarded to have a value of 18-20 million baht per rai and there were only a few transactions at that level. A new yardstick may now be applied depending at what price Leam Ka would sell at, should indeed it be vended. For existing projects there has been limited relief in terms of lower construction costs and with land components already priced in, it's doubtful that the same volatility in pricing may occur as with raw land.

My 11 year old identical twin wont speak to any of the family. He won't tell us why we have upset him. It is now 2 weeks
Take him anywhere the place that he feels free to enjoy.. then ask him why he is upset, show him that you & your family (especially as his mother) are with his side to support and take care of him.. I am sure he will speak out.. all the best wishes :) x
It might involve sexual, physical or emotional abuse, and he lacks the adequate coping mechanism to be able to voice his concerns. Has he spoken at all to anyone or is he completely silent? Don't jump to conclusions because there are a lot of reasons for this. I'm surprised if he has been completely silent and it has taken you 2 weeks to become concerned.
i completely agree with @puremonopoly...... he must have been through something very traumatic hence the lack of talking..........let it cool down and then talk to him...........identical twins often share a very deep bond I am very sure he will share it with you when he deems himself a little more comfortable.....
Leave him a note from Santa. <br />
Talk! or no presies!!
I hate you =_=

Journal of the 13th Demi-Brigade.
April 1945.
Things here at HQ seem almost deserted, everybody is gone, with forces deployed to both gold and oil islands we simply don't have the man power to launch any sort of campaign. The turmoil seems to be grinding down, our latest intelligence has the Americans across the Rhine and Stalins forces are closing the noose around Berlin. The Japs are still putting up terrible resistance in the pacific, but it won't last long. This creates a unique oppurtunity for us to replace our losses and expand our ranks. Soldiers need wars to fight, all true warriors love and crave battle...when this war is over there may not be any others for them to fight....not for their countries anyway..but us,the 13th is always ready for a fight, no matter who's it is. We've recruited 4 special divisions to come here to 13th HQ to..."Audition" for the oppurtunity to join our ranks, for glory and honor...and alot of money.
However we only want soldiers who can operate as a unit with us, people who will fit in nicely with our little organization....their Generals won't be needed...plus we are curious to see if any natural leaders rise from the ranks. We need soldiers who can think on their feet, overcome and adapt to various situations....their tests will not be easy, a group of our finest Trainers and Mercenaries stands ready to test them against each other...to see who will pass the test.
The four we've selected to compete are...
1st Seperate Battalion USMC (The Raiders)
British 7th Armor Division (The Desert Rats)
Armia Krajowa (Polish Home Army)
5th Fallschirmjagerdivison (German Airborne)

Where do our values lie?
by Tom Palaima
The Good Life December 2008
"Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me."
-John Cougar Mellencamp
"Small Town" (1985)
People facing economic depressions, natural catastrophes, epidemics or wars may question what civilization means, where true values are to be located, who defines them and how secure they are. We have been doing this ourselves after being battered by Katrina, Rita, our financial meltdown, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Virtually all the Great-Depression-generation sources in the late Studs Terkel's award-winning oral history of World War II, "The Good War", question our cultural values. British socialist thinkers like George Orwell and Cyril Connolly did, too, after seeing what was done to their world in the nineteen-thirties and -forties.
Orwell's bleak vision in Nineteen Eighty-Four is now standard high school, or even middle school, reading, as I know from the books our eighth-grade son has brought home this year. But strong criticisms in major cultural works like Orwell's novel have less impact on us if we meet them when our minds and hearts are too inexperienced to grasp their full implications.
Only when we have come to know the limits of our own courage and have measured our own capacity to love, can we understand the full horror of Winston Smith's torture-induced words, "Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! Not me! Julia!" Only when Nineteen Eighty-Four is an assortment of faintly remembered mythical archetypes does the whole concept of Osama bin Laden begin to make us uneasy. Is he alive? Is he dead? Does it matter? Our unending war on terror needs an undying bogeyman. Bin Laden is our Goldstein.
Connolly's collection of reflections and quotations The Unquiet Grave: A Word Cycle by Palinurus (1944) is now all but forgotten, but it is worth reading, as I did on recent plane flights to and from London while thinking about this column. Connolly claims that "civilization is maintained by a very few people in a small number of places and we need only some bombs and a few prisons to blot it out altogether." "Few" and "small" are relative terms, but his observation is well worth considering given the attention paid in our recent election campaign to questions about who is American and who is un-American and where our true American values lie. The Daily Show and Colbert Report made fun of the answer that they are found in small-town America, but this is a very strong myth that most of us, including me, want to believe. Why else would political strategists make so much of it?
Sarah Palin stressed the small town values that John Cougar Mellencamp enshrined in his pop hymn "Small Town." The flip side of the McCain-Palin message was to brand as negative and "elitist" big-city intellectual thoughts and ideas, the Sodom-and-Gomorra morality of New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, the political corruption of Washington, DC.
Who among us does not respond to such preaching somewhere deep inside? Hearing it made me reread the unexpurgated edition of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle. Sinclair made Chicago at the turn of the twentieth-century the archetypical corrupt metropolis where entire families of innocent immigrants are exploited and ruined. It has added poignancy for me because the central family in The Jungle is Lithuanian, like my own immigrant grandparents who worked in Cleveland's steel mills at that same time. Sinclair describes sickening abuses in the food and medicine industries and dehumanizing working conditions for men, women and underage children. President Theodore Roosevelt followed up on Sinclair's exposķ. Our federal government instituted regulations that led to the Food and Drug Administration. The lesson here is that big cities are places where innocents cannot survive, ironically for the McCain-Palin message, without big government protections.
But the Little House on the Prairie notion that small towns are places of goodness and peace and frontiers, like Alaska, are places of straightforward honesty that reward manly courage, doesn't hold up. We don't have to look outside the state of Texas. Just read the extracts from local histories and county courthouse documents in John Graves' Goodbye to a River. The people who settled in small towns along the Brazos were a "yeomanryŖdriven from older states by poor-white desperation and a hot resolve not to take no crap from nobody nowheres no more." They were "cattle kings and horse thieves and half-breeds and whole sons of bitches and preachers in droves and sinners in swarms. Law and order in other words were fairly faint ideals."
Larry McMurtry tells us in In a Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas that most Texans out in the country "live and die in woeful ignorance." McMurtry's son James imagined wanting to escape this fate in his 1995 song "Levelland," about the kind of small town nothingness that made his father say, "I would have traded a lot of sunsets for a few good books."
I'll trade one sunset for Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears A Who. "A person's a person, no matter how small" his town or how big his city. And last time I looked, we were all Americans.

Urban Manufacturing Alliance Launched To Boost Urban Manufacturing And Job Creation Across U.S.
A new Urban Manufacturing Alliance (UMA) has been launched to accelerate the growth of urban manufacturing across the U.S. and to capitalize on the sector's ability to create stable, high-quality jobs.
The UMA is anchored by the Pratt Center for Community Development in New York and SFMade in San Francisco. It will include manufacturing job creation efforts in 16 cities. Funding for the UMA was provided by a $300,000 contribution from Citi Community Development.
Exchanging ideas on how urban manufacturing can reduce chronic unemployment and regain its foothold in dense urban areas are key goals of the new alliance. Members will also share best practices and address common challenges.
SFMade membership has swelled to more than 400 companies who are all headquartered in and producing their products in San Francisco. This vibrant sector now employs more than 3,000 low-to-moderate income individuals. In New York, the Pratt Center for Community Development has 850 member companies, which together employ more than 8,000 low-to moderate income individuals."This alliance reflects our recognition of the excellent potential in urban centers to expand economic opportunity and job growth at a large scale," said Vicki Joseph, of Citi Community Development. "Many American manufacturers are small businesses, which we know are primary job creators, and reports indicate that as many as a third of the nation's small manufacturers are located in the ten largest cities." The new alliance was launched during a two-day gathering that began at the New York City Economic Development Corporation and ended with a tour of the Brooklyn Navy Yard to observe a best-in-class national model for nonprofit industrial development which now generates $2 billion yearly in direct and indirect economic impact. Kate Sofis, Executive Director of SFMade, said manufacturing in San Francisco was growing dramatically. The sector added more than 12.5% net new jobs in 2012 as compared with 10.5% in 2011.

Officials fear that more than 100,000 people have died as a result of Tuesday's 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Haiti.
The capital, Port-au-Prince, "is flattened," said Haiti's consul general to the U.N., Felix Augustin, who said he believed more than 100,000 people were dead. Hospitals are gone, and medical supplies and heavy equipment are desperately needed, he said.
The victims included Archbishop Joseph Serge Miot of Port-au-Prince.
Archbishop Bernardito Auza, the Vatican's apostolic nuncio in Haiti, told the Vatican missionary news agency Fides: "Port-au-Prince is completely devastated. The cathedral and the archbishop's residence, all the big churches, all the seminaries are reduced to rubble." The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, some 80 per cent of Haiti's ten million residents are Catholic.
Of course Catholic Relief Services is on the scene. CRS staff in Haiti is responding immediately to the earthquake that rocked Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti. Tuesday night the agency made an immediate commitment of $ 5 million for emergency supplies. NEW: As of Friday, CRS has increased its original funding commitment and is planning an emergency response with an expectation of raising $25 million from its generous supporters.
As of 9am Thursday, CRS reported phenomenal generosity noting that they have already collected $1.8 million in online donations for their Haiti effort — averaging about $200,000 an hour. NEW: As of Friday, CRS has already received more than $6 million in cash and commitments, including a $1-million disaster response donation from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and a $225,000 gift from the New York Yankees baseball team.
Archbishop Dolan, CRS chair, offers an update via a video message, where he describes Haiti as the "broken, bloody body of Jesus."
The US Bishops wrote that "Our Church mourns the terrible suffering of our brothers and sisters in Haiti. . . Our faith compels us to pray for and reach out to our brothers and sisters in their time of suffering."
CRS Resources on the Haiti Earthquake For Catholic Educators and Youth Ministers
Often young people want to know how they can help in times of struggle and emergencies like the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Please invite our young people to stand with us as one human family and a community of faith at this difficult moment in our world's history. Invite the young people you serve to pray with and join in solidarity with our sisters and brothers affected by the earthquake in Haiti. The CRS prayer and educational resources attached and listed by description below can help explore the challenges facing the people of Haiti and possible ways of responding in faith.
To learn more about or contribute to the efforts of CRS in this emergency, please visit www.crs.org. Thank you for creating global community with us.
Resource list:
Prayer Service: A New Heaven and New Earth (Leader's Guide)
Prayer Service: A New Heaven and New Earth (Handout)
Additional CRS Prayer Resources for Haiti
Lesson Plan for Middle and High School: Challenges and Hope in Haiti
NEW: Life Teen has also developed Unshakeable Faith, a response night, and made materials available for download.
NEW: Youth Specialties offered two additional resources: It's Not Supposed to Be Like This by Jim Hancock and Rich Van Pelt (click here to download) and In the Aftermath by Kara Powell and Brad Griffin (click here to download)
It's easy to view this all in "bigger picture" mode (and The New York Times has put up an interactive satellite map of Port-Au-Prince in Haiti showing the city both before and after the devastating earthquake of January 12th), but it is important to remember the personal stories as well. Bob Rice has one such story.
Finally, consider inviting your young people to take up Chris Faddis' web-based encouragement to Fast for Haiti. Imagine what a difference could be made if thousands of teenagers, young adults and other Catholic's decided to fast 1 to 3 meals and then donated $5, $10, or $15 to relief efforts to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti?

First Bite: Stanhope Grille
This revamped Back Bay restaurant promises flights of fancy. Too bad many dishes don't make it off the ground.
The relaunched Stanhope Grille at the Back Bay Hotel, now under the direction of executive chef Raymond Southern, looks great on paper. Promotional copy touts a bevy of local farmers, cheesemakers, maple syrup producers, and fishermen who are stocking the kitchen. For foodies, this kind of thing is Pavlov's bell.
The menu presents a long list of compelling, multilayered options, such as flatiron steak with lobster hash and a duck dish with "foie gras brown butter caramel" and Concord grape–accented cabbage. Indeed, the Stanhope's lineup reads like something from Todd English at his Boston-based best, and raises hopes for a fascinating (if over-the-top) meal.
But as the first course arrives, the reverie of ordering gives way to puzzled expressions of 'ÄúHuh?'Äù and 'ÄúWait, wasn'Äôt this supposed to be…?'Äù An example: house-cured salmon rubbed with cocoa, salt, and sugar and then brined in Jameson whiskey. Sounds winning 'Äî or at least interesting. But all that layering turns the fish into a mere vehicle for whiskey, salt, and sweetness. More baffling, it arrives without the promised black bread crouton, which leaves us eating with knife and fork, fillet-style.
The aforementioned duck, so tantalizing on the page, is cooked exactly to temperature, and the meat is perfectly tender. The grape-scented cabbage is sweet and tangy with a nice crunch. Yet the confit leg lacks any crispness, the skin on the breast meat is fatty, and the brown butter caramel is nowhere to be found.
Chef Southern grew up on a small farm outside Vancouver, and his longtime-commitment to peak seasonal ingredients is praiseworthy. Clearly, he also can dream up a menu that makes us want to eat. The challenge now, for both Southern and the Stanhope, is creating food that makes us want to eat, too.

Reference Date: 10-February-2014
Preliminary estimates indicate above-average cereal production in 2013, despite erratic precipitation in parts of the country
Agricultural production still lingering from the effects of the civil strife in recent years
Humanitarian assistance is still needed despite the improved civil security situation
Harvesting of the 2013 second season maize crop is nearly complete in the South. In the North, which has only one rainy season, harvesting of coarse grains was completed in November. In spite of erratic precipitation in parts of the country, preliminary estimates indicate that cereal production in 2013 was similar to the previous year's above‑average level. Production of maize, the main staple cereal, was estimated at about 661 000 tonnes, similar to the previous year's record crop and 4 percent above the five-year average.
Agriculture has been seriously damaged in recent years due to the civil strife. Labour shortages due to population displacements, lack of agricultural support services in certain parts of the country - mainly in the northern half - fragmentation of the markets and other difficulties related to civil security have had serious negative impact on agricultural production and food markets in recent years. These problems have been exacerbated by the 2010‑2011 post‑election crisis, which has forced over 300 000 people to leave the country and seek refuge, mostly in eastern Liberia, while thousands others were internally displaced.
Most displaced persons have returned to their areas of origin, following the improvement of the security situation. However, UNHCR estimated that about 70 000 Ivoirians were still living in neighbouring countries, mostly in Liberia, as of January 2014.
The civil strife led to a steep increase in food prices through 2011. In mid-2012 the Government took a series of measures to curb rice price rise. These included fixing the prices of imported rice, suspending the value added tax on rice and limiting the number of check‑points. As a result prices of imported rice have been more stable.

Rob Kardashian, Ricki Lake and J.R. Martinez
Is Dancing with the Stars' Mirrorball trophy still J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff's to lose? The frontrunner suffered an ankle injury last week, meaning Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke, and Ricki Lake and Derek Hough are still very much in the running — not that they were ever completely out of it. Kardashian's improbable journey may be the story of the season, and Lake has Hough, the show's first three-time champ, in her corner.The trio will face off Monday and Tuesday with four dances: an unlearned dance, their favorite dance, the Instant samba and, of course, the freestyle.Who's got the edge? Let's size them up!

Ricki Lake, Derek Hough
Derek Hough is already the first Dancing with the Stars pro to win three Mirrorball trophies, but will he be the first to win four? "Honestly, I don't feel that pressure to win this season, so we'll see what happens," he tells TVGuide.com. "In the past, I've felt pressure to win, but I think this year, it's anybody's to win and nobody's to lose." Hough and Ricki Lake will dance it out against J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, and Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke for Season 13 glory. Find out what Hough thinks about his competition, if he's worried about his perfect record in finals and what he thinks about the judges' harsh critiques.<

Cheryl Burke and Rob Kardashian
Cheryl Burke, a two-time Dancing with the Stars champ, feels a little rusty being in the semifinals. "It's been a couple seasons since I've made it this far, so I have to get used to it again!" she tells TVGuide.com. "But I'm very excited to be back and to have a shot at another final." Burke and Rob Kardashian will duke it out for a spot in the final — with three dances — against J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff, Ricki Lake and Derek Hough, and Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy. "I think it's going to be close," Burke says. "J.R.'s gotten amazing scores and he is amazing, but every single week, it changes. I think it could be any of us making the final and I just really hope it's us." See what else she has to say about preparing for the semis, doing three dances and if Kardashian really...

Kym Johnson and David Arquette
Kym Johnson has two Mirrorball trophies, but this is the first time the Dancing with the Stars pro is trying to defend her title. She sat out the 10th season after winning with Donny Osmond, but Johnson, who won last season with Hines Ward, is still very much in the running on Season 13 with David Arquette. "I would love to defend. That would be incredible to win back to back," she tells TVGuide.com. "But honestly I don't really think about that. We've got a long road to go before I can even consider it." After landing in the actual bottom two on the second week, the pair has been steadily improving and Johnson believes they can win it all. But what do they need to go all the way? Plus: Get Johnson's take on the Maks-Len fracas...

What a difference a week makes. In the course of seven days, two very different men have changed the way transgender activist Chaz Bono moves on Dancing With the Stars: the first is former swing dance champion Buddy Schwimmer, dance teacher and father of Bono's partner, Lacey. And the second is fellow competitor J.R. Martinez, who shot to the top of the fifth-week leader board.

NH man charged with hunting death on trial
A New Hampshire hunter is standing trial on a charge of firing a shot that killed a 31-year-old Massachusetts man in 2011.
Forty-nine-year-old Wade Holmes of Lisbon has been charged with negligent homicide and reckless shooting in the death of Kenneth Brunelle of Marlboro, Mass.
Brunelle was unarmed and walking with his father and brother on opening day of firearm deer season when he was shot once and instantly killed.
The Caledonian Record reports the trial started Wednesday, starting with a juror visit to the shooting scene.
The charge alleges Holmes failed to identify with certainty the target at which he was shooting, and for shooting at and killing Brunelle, whom he allegedly mistook for a deer.
Brunelle was dressed in camouflage and wasn't carrying a rifle.

Tech Article...by Scott Schneider
A step-by-step tutorial on how to modify an RCMK S/SX 254 Engine ... *All R254 Cylinders
To begin, I wish to make it clear that many of the designs and fundamentals being shared herein have been learned from published sources of information as well as from self-taught tricks. The working blend of modifications presented are from many years of trial and error testing while working with small displacement 2-stroke engines.
The use and application of this knowledge being applied to the RCMK engine is what we hope to share here.
Information as presented, will be worded simple and to the point. If you don't agree with or understand what's been said, please feel free to share your insight or questions with the community within the MGB forums. A link is provided at the bottom of the article.
Note: Many of the modifications being done look very close to what was being done within the Zenoah G-260 "Engine Porting" article, but they differ in enough ways that you need to take notice of the explanations contained at each step.
Let's get started. Disassemble your RCMK engine and follow along. This should help you "do-it-yourself" engine modifiers build a very powerful RCMK marine racing engine.
Crank Case and Crank Shaft ...
*This step is optional, "Turbo Crank and Cases mod". (Used ONLY with side exhaust designs)
|Here is what the Modified Turbo cut of the crankshaft's leading edge counter weights looks like.
As the crank spins, the displacement of air/fuel is directed outwards towards the crankshaft main bearings aiding in their lubrication. As the leading edge of the modified counter weights clears the inner case entering the transfer passage cut away, the displacement of the air/fuel is directed into the flow that is headed up the transfer passages. Another benefit is that by controlling the air/fuel within case area, the engine has less crankcase fuel pooling and tends to load up less and run cleaner when coming up from lower RPM. (Only the leading edges of crankshaft's counter weights need to be modified.)
* Each case half gets a further enhanced trough cut into the case at the leeward edge of the rotation side.
* The crankshaft's leading edge counter weights get ground into a slight bevel/sloping wedge profile. (Nothing any more radical than shown is necessary.)
|Here the PTO half of the crankcase. The larger trough cut into the side of the case is blended
into the cylinder mating surface. The flywheel side case half is done the same. (Note the bearing covered with tape on both sides to keep metal chips out.)
|To make the blending easier, place 2 scribe line as shown on cases, blend in the turbo ramp cut up to these lines as shown in the picture on right.
|Here both halves showing the blending of the trough into the mating surface of the cylinder.
* The gasket as shown to the right needs to be trimmed to fit this new profile *
Piston ...
|Here the rounded profile done on both pin boss areas of piston to smooth the flow out.
* Do smooth out better than shown....
|* This is the OPTIONAL intake duration modification....approximately 0.035" was removed from the middle area of the "Intake Side" piston skirt. The corners of this cut need to be kept ROUND! The little tabs of material on either side are there to maintain the original length of piston and hold the diameter to factory specs. ( Piston is Tapered, so this type cut is required ! )
* This next step is for those wishing to explore the upper RPM range power gains of GREATER intake duration.This modification is done by altering the intake side skirt of the piston and NOT cutting on the cylinder!
|Here the first cut made going down the inside edge of the INTAKE SIDE transfer passage. To be done on both sides.
|Top of the photo showing the "UNDERCUT" done to the edge of the EXHAUST SIDE transfer passages, bottom of photo the amount of cut made from picture on the left.
|Close up of the eyebrow cuts and 1st vertical cuts made on INTAKE SIDE transfer passage.
|Here is the wedge of material cast into the roof of the divider, DO NOT disturb or hit if possible.
|The finished modifications on the transfer passages. Blended in with lead edge of divider sharpened.
|Another view of the eyebrow cuts once blended in and finished up ... No lumps, No bumps !
|Finished up and blended in Undercuts of the EX side transfer passage.
|Here is the amount of material removed in the undercut. You DO NOT contact the bore edge but stay in behind it. Take the undercut all the way to the port's roof.
** Be VERY precise in having the profile of the undercut the same on both sides. The intent here is that the outflow of air/fuel now is tilted slightly more rearward away from the exhaust port than stock.
* Note the edge that the dental pick is on. If followed out into the bore it would be just behind the spark plug hole. Make sure this angle is the SAME on both sides!
|Here you now can see the increases in cross sectional area within the transfer passages.
We HAVE NOT cut along the outside edges of the passages, only at both ends.
Note: The angle on the edge of Intake side transfer passage (Top of photo), it should match the crankcases along the scribe lines of the turbo ramping blend in shown earier.
The reason for this is so that the air/fuel traveling withing the transfer passages has to increase its speed at the point of exiting. This gives the ports' roof and general port shape greater control over the out-flowing mixture. This directional control is a MAJOR component in the shaping of the engine's power band.
Next ...
Using the 1/4" ball end cylinder cutter, cut the ROOF of the exhaust port into a gentle arched profile as shown. Very little if any material needs to be removed on the outer most corners. Most will be within the center area. You do NOT want to widen the exhaust port any further!
The best exhaust timing specification in my honest opinion on the RCMK engines is approximately 180 degrees.
* Due to RCMK changing specs on the parts in an ongoing basis for greater reliability, the EX 180* timing specs are best set using a degree wheel instead of a fixed dimentional number *
|Here is the exhaust port roof profile you want. A gentle arch and NOT flat like stock.
* No width increase is made, only the roof profile is altered.
|Here is a 1" CC Racing Engines "No-leak" manifold matched to the exhaust port. One HUGE outlet !
*Picture is upside down BTW.
Next ...
|Here the intake port with the ring compression nub removed. * Note: NO MORE material than required was removed at the actual intake port window. It is safer to actually leave a small lump of the nub. For safety sake DO NOT remove it all at the port window, you do not want ring to snag on the roof of the port if you over cut it!
|Here an after market aluminum intake block is fitted and matched up. The stock intake block is just fine also. Just match it up a little bit and you're good to go.
Attach your intake manifold to cylinder. Note where the cylinder's intake passage and the shape of the manifold differ and match them accordingly. Trim the gasket to fit as well.
|Here the final trick ... Using a THICK flexible CA glue, you put a bead around the seal's outside diameter at the outer bearing race. This will help prevent a seal blowout while running at high RPM/ power levels. ** Clean with a STRONG degreaser such as MEK using an ear swab prior to glueing in the seal.
The steps below are 100% optional and are ONLY set up tricks preferred on my own modified RCMK engines.
* The reason for these modifications is to further stablize and more accuratly hold the connecting rod in the center of the crank shaft big end bearing.
In checking RCMK's machining tollerances, I have found that the engine is VERY square and true with the center line of the bore and the axis is perfect with the crankcase and cylinder's bolt pattern. Tightening up of the piston's "Small End" thrust washers can therefore successfully be done.
|Here is an assembled RCMK piston and needle bearing with the modified ZENOAH thrust washers.
(Note: the piston skirt mod, this is the profile and amount of tab material left on either side.)
|Here is HOW you thin down the stock Zenoah washers ... 180 grit emery paper or wet/dry on a surface place or piece of glass. Thinning is ONLY done to the side with the counter bore.
You work the washer round and round checking it often for equal thickness edge to edge. Stock Zenoah washer thickness is @ .073" give or take. You WANT them taken to @ .067" each. (Pending on piston boss measurement?) Aim for an assembled width of @ .008" to .012" less than piston boss's measurement.
|Here is the finished washer at .067" thickness
|Here are the MODIFIED washers on the RCMK rod and bearing. * Again the 2 washers are EQUALLY thinned so the assembled width is .008 to .012" less than piston boss's.
|Here is the internal pin boss width within the RCMK piston.
* You WANT to have @ .008 to .012" clearance between the bearing/washers and the piston boss's. The actual width is not as important as the assembled clearance and being done with washers of the EXACT same modified width.
|Here the cylinder gasket getting a slight adjustment ,(top right is cut) top left needs to be done yet.
Final notes:
Unlike the Zenoah "Engine Porting", on the RCMK the divider bridge between the transfer passages is NOT touched, though you can sharpen the edge if you wish.
The modifications shown above are nothing exotic, in doing approximately eight of the S-254 engines so far, the ones done as shown above run the best! These engines seem to do best with more conservative exhaust timing and modest increases in transfer area. You DO NOT need to do wild radical mods to get these engine to run Very Strong!
I do highly recommend doing the basic modifications as shown FIRST, omitting the piston skirt mod... Run it! Then go back in and cut the intake side skirt as shown ... compare the performance.
If you choose to get crazy doing wilder port alteration you will want to have a known baseline, so go after these modifications in steps that will show you what you are gaining or losing along the way.
