This Week in Witardo: Goodbye
January 18th, 2011I have a lot of friends who have graduated college and are now on the job market. It's not easy finding a job in today's world, but they are looking and they are doing whatever it takes to get the job. Many of them go so far as to delete their facebook or simply change their names on facebook so as not to be found by potential employers searching the internet. That is part of the job process now. You want to get hired? Prepare to be Googled. Any bad thing you wrote on myspace four years ago, any bad picture you've posted, any racist comment you left on a message board or any sex video you've accidentally sent someone will be found by these people and they won't hire you. If you want a job you need to keep your Google search clean. Don't do anything stupid. Don't piss anyone off. Don't show anything.
(And that's why I only make seven dollars an hour shoveling snow at the graveyard.)
Anthony Witrado is leaving the Journal Sentinel. The worst writer many of us have ever seen (and possibly the worst beat writer at any daily newspaper in the country) has been hired by The Sporting News. For those of you who don't follow these things AOL Fanhouse has folded into The Sporting News who will now be providing all their online content. Which means that bloggers like Bethlehem Shoals of FreeDarko fame will soon be out of work and hacks like Witrado will take his place. I see that working out really well. We've wanted Witrado fired for a long time, but for him to leave for what we're presuming is a better job leaves a bad taste in our mouth. It's like if Jeff Suppan left and won the Cy Young for the Cardinals then took them to the World Series where he was named MVP. It's just not right. These people deserve to fail. They wasted our time with their crappy performances and they need to get what is coming to them. I didn't just want Anthony Witrado to not write for my daily anymore, I don't want him to write anything.
The story on the street is that Garry Howard, former JS Editor, is now the editor at The Sporting News and he is responsible for the Witrado hire. As Al from Al's Ramblings said to me about the hire "it's not what you know, but who you know" and I don't think that has eever fit a situation better. Far be it from me to understand how someone could read that guy's work for however many years (or even see the way he dresses at work) and think he'd do a good job, but that's what happened. I can understand that some people have terrible taste in sports writing, but what I don't understand is how someone could hire Anthony Witrado without Googling him. I mean, seriously, Jeffrey Dahmer has better search results and he murdered 17 people.
When the top four search results for your name say that you waste people's time, need to be fired, that you're a douchebag as well as a post showing how bad you are at your job, maybe you shouldn't get hired for any jobs. Tom Cruise is crazy, a member of a cult and may have brainwashed the hottest girl from Dawson's Creek into carrying his seed and joining his cult; everyone knows this and you still have to scroll down to find anything negative about him. It's insane that anyone could sign off on the hiring of this guy. He is not a talented writer. You know it, I know it and everyone knows it, but there he is going off to work at The Sporting News. Employed by the same people who employ Will Leitch. Explain how that makes sense.
The only thing that makes sense to me is that The Sporting News is going down. That Garry Howard is an idiot and he won't last very long at the job. That is the only thing that makes sense to me. I couldn't be happier that we don't have to deal with Witrado's bullshit writing and terrible chats any longer, but I won't ever truly be happy until he's covering NBA D-League games in North Dakota and working part time at a truck stop as a fry cook to pay the bills. That's when I feel this terrible writer will finally get the justice he deserves for his year's of crappy crap that he has put us through. We'll be even when he's doing that and the paper in Bismarck fires him because they realized kids from the high school could write better than him.
So goodbye Anthony Witrado. We couldn't be happier that you're leaving, but don't think that we'll forget about you. We could never forget you, you are way too terrible to ever forget and we'll be actively rooting for your dismissal until the day it happens.

thank god we wont have to read his garbage anymore…

Honestly I read JS pretty consistently and listen to 1250&540 and I really do not see where all of the hate towards Anthony is coming from. I'm guessing people have a problem with his professionalism, but even though we might not want to admit it, that's the future of journalism. Twitter, FB and digital outlets are clearly taking over print media in order to appeal to a larger/younger audience. You don't need a reporter to wear a suit and tie to report baseball. Hell, as long as he has an in with the players and can report things that I couldn't find out myself, I don't care what the guy is wearing. As for his negativity, IMO that's really the job of a local reporter. Be critical of the team and let the fans do the cheering. Maybe his ability to build relationships with some of the players and management is why he is getting promoted to TSN….or maybe it's because he's the worst beat writer in America?
its evident that you have a strong distaste for how Witrado writes, but the fact is that he is very highly regarded in the sports journalism world. His style is different than most, especially someone like Tom, who you probably love because he is the number 1 brewers fan of all time. I completely agree with the post above me, I don't care how he dresses, as long as he gets me info that I couldn't get on my own.
I have a hard time believing anyone who has ever read an Anthony Witrado written article would consider him "highly regarded" or a "sports journalist". His style is different than most in that it is not spell checked or proofed for egregious errors.
haters hater haters
props to him, the big pay raise he received and the fact he can get the eff out of wisconsin…
Jealous much?
I have no doubt ADub is a nice guy, and listening to him on 1250 he actually does seem to understand the game a bit. I'd even go so far as to say he doesn't dislike the Brewers. I can see if you work along side him that one could regard him "highly." I once had a conversation with someone who used to be part of the Brewers traveling party and they didn't understand the animosity either. "He's a nice guy and a friend."
Where I can respect the animosity is the shear number of grammatical errors and misspelling from this "professional" sports writer. Given the nature of sports writing, one can always question his motivations and/or style, but when spell check is built into the freakin' browser he is using to post his blog entries, its inexcusable. (heck, I've corrected several typos just in this comment – it's easy, they get underlined in red).
So I can side with many of the bloggers out there who pour their soul into covering the Brewers for nothing other than their own passion for the team and a pitiful amount of banner ad revenue (which probably doesn't cover hosting fees, much less buy a beer at the game). They put out a quality, spell checked and proofread product and get shafted while someone who has no business calling himself a professional writer (I'll give him "reporter" not writer) gets called up to the big leagues. Here is a guy who gets access to cover the team, gets paid to do it, and then turns out a crappy product.
Whica Whica WhaT? Adub is outa the house?! Who's gonna by fly master Tommy H's Hommie G? That boy laid out some serious wordin. Props Adub, ya'll be goin to do sompin sompin. MPD dont be hatin – be relatin, be comminicatin like my boy Adub. I aint got no hatin – I too busy Masterbatin..
If you were an intrepid reporter you would follow Mr. Wintrado's work through the season and periodically report back on his misadventures – in effect keep this thread going.
Yes, it's truth. It's almost impossible to find work nowadays, at least in my country. The thing that bothers me most is that you are unable to completely delete your facebook account, you can only deactivate it, and that really sucks…
Anthony is a great person with a huge heart and lots of love for his work family and friends. Stop hating on him because he obviously has to be legit if he got a job doing something better. miss u Sergio

Hey there!
I was wondering if any of you do a fall planting of veggies? Those bean leaf beetles decimated my green beans so I'm thinking about pulling them up and planting something for a fall harvest. Any suggestions? I was thinking about leaf lettuce. Oh! And when do you plant you garlic for harvest the next summer here? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've tried fall veggies from time to time, and had the best results when I started right now - early Aug. As the days shorten, the plants grow more slowly and don't yield in the number of days on the package, but later. You will have to protect anything you plant becuase the insects are full grown and the sprout are not - one chomp and it's over! However, if you make it past the tender stage, and the plants get full sun, fall veggies can be very yummy. Garlic - about 2 months before the first freeze. Then mulch well and mark the spot because sometimes the top disappears during the winter. Good luck! |
It's a little late now, but I started lettuce around Aug. 10 in flats. Transplanted into beds in late august, and am expecting full sized lettuce in two weeks (mid october). I plant garlic around columbus day( mid october) spaced 6 inches apart in each direction in 5x20 ft (100 sq. ft.) beds. Had excellent yield this year. probably 140 lbs. out of 2 beds. Will be planting more in a few weeks, around 70 lbs. My spinach is almost ready. I direct seeded around august 20. To my surprise, spinach was able to germinate in the heat(upper 80s, lower 90's). Afternoon shade may have helped. Expect good sized plants in 1 to 2 weeks. hard to gauge, everything grows so slow this late in the season due to shorter daylength and lower sun angle. I also planted some snow peas mid august, some plants are around 2 ft. high, I've only seen one flower, don't think I'll get anything out of these unless it stays warm through October, If not, there will be no pollinators to make the peas. |

Thanks for the info! I decided not to put in any fall veggies. My bean plants rebounded and have been putting out tons of beans (still). In fact, I almost wish they were done! But it has slowed down. I'd like to plant garlic. Do you guys just plant what is in the grocery store? When I planted it in the fall before, I bought it from the nursery. Haven't seen any in the nurseries around here. Thanks again! |
Yeah, It's been a rough year for beans. One good early crop, poor production most of the summer, but better since early-mid september. Most growers I've spoken with agree. Don't know where you are, but try to buy organic garlic(may be hard to find in some parts of Iowa). Conventional garlic(common grocery store varieties) is likely treated with an anti-sprouting chemical and won't work for you. I bought my garlic from seeds of change (seedsofchange.com). Kinda expensive at first, but good investment since you save some each year for planting for the next season. You could check out the Garlic Seed foundation online. Or check out a local farmers market for bulbs of garlic that you can break up and plant. I planted around 40 lbs. last year. Sold a bunch this year and still have 70-80 lbs. to plant this year. When you save your own garlic, the quality/yield should improve over time, as each generation becomes more acclimatized. Good luck , will be planting garlic in 2 weeks, even though it was ~90 degrees today. |
- Posted by tannabanana 5a IA (My Page) on Wed, Oct 4, 06 at 10:27
Thanks again for the info - that's exactly what I thought about the store-bought garlic. I'll check out the organic section at Hy-vee (I'm in CR) and if can't find any there I'm sure the food co-op store in Iowa City probably has some. |

What would you do with Seattle Center?
Led by that committee, local officials are embarking on a redesign of Seattle Center. You can help.
Seattle Times staff reporter
The idea for the Space Needle began with a scribble on a cocktail napkin.
The crude sketch grew into a blueprint for the unmistakable landmark that has come to symbolize Seattle around the world. Yet nearly a half-century later, the 74 acres surrounding the Space Needle remain a curiosity — a treasured but ill-defined and underused urban resource.
Is Seattle Center a park? A campus for entertainment and the arts? A cultural attraction?
"When friends back in New York ask me what the Seattle Center is, I tell them it's a cross between Madison Square Garden, Central Park and Lincoln Center," said Regina Hall, a member of the Century 21 Committee.
Led by that committee, local officials are embarking on a redesign of Seattle Center.
Several designs have been proposed, but nothing firm. This summer, the Seattle City Council hopes to settle on a long-term vision for the Center and possibly ask voters in November to start paying for the changes.
This is where you come in.
Beginning today, The Seattle Times is inviting readers to design the Seattle Center of the next 20 years and beyond.
We're providing a map to help you get started.
But you can present your ideas on pretty much anything — even a cocktail napkin. You can submit a pen drawing, computer graphic, video, scale model or some simple paragraphs of text. We'll even accept a poem or song, as long as it expresses a vision of Seattle Center.
Show us. Tell us. Surprise us.
City officials say they will pay close attention to this exercise.
"It will be good to get broad community comment on Seattle Center," City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen said. "We want to get the best design, the best plan we possibly can get."
We'll gather your ideas and post a selection online at www.seattletimes.com, where we will invite comments from other readers, creating a dialogue on the Center's future.
There are some ground rules.
"You can't bulldoze the place and start over," said Rasmussen, who chairs the council's Parks and Seattle Center committee. "You have to start the redevelopment with a number of givens."
The Space Needle is untouchable. So are the Monorail, Pacific Science Center, McCaw Hall, Fisher Pavilion, Experience Music Project, International Fountain and a few other buildings. The city also has committed to a new skateboard park at Second Avenue North and Thomas Street.
But several major parts of the Center are in play — Fun Forest, Memorial Stadium, Center House — as well as other old standbys.
The goal is for Seattle Center to be a year-round, round-the-clock destination where locals and tourists assemble no matter the weather.
Any redesign also should be financially realistic. A comprehensive redevelopment, based on the early designs, is estimated to cost about $650 million. Voters would be asked to pay for some of those changes, although much of the funding could be private.
Done right, officials say, a redeveloped Seattle Center could energize the city, like Boston Common or Trafalgar Square.
Seattle Center's genesis
Seattle Center was built for Seattle's 1962 World's Fair, the Century 21 Exposition. The appropriately named Century 21 Committee, appointed in 2006 by Mayor Greg Nickels, has focused primarily on redeveloping the 5 acres of the Fun Forest, which shuts down after 2009, and Memorial Stadium, which is deeded to the Seattle School District.
The committee also proposes a major remodel of Center House in hopes of making it more inviting in summer.
We prefer readers focus on those three specific areas, but we're also soliciting ideas on KeyArena. The arena is a moving target in any redesign because the fate of the Seattle Sonics is in flux.
Last week, a group of businessmen proposed a public-private partnership that would plug $300 million into a KeyArena renovation and be a driver for a Center makeover.
The Century 21 Committee's preliminary redesign plans have KeyArena staying put — even if the Sonics don't — because city officials believe it can be a viable concert venue and major-events facility without the NBA.
Do you agree?
Other parts of Seattle Center open to redesign include the Mural Amphitheatre, a section of the Northwest Rooms and Mercer Garage.
We also invite you to consider that Seattle Center doesn't have a main entrance. Should it? If so, where? And what should it look like?
A Center redesign also could better showcase existing assets that have lost impact over time.
They are: the colorful Paul Horiuchi mosaic of Mural Amphitheatre; the concrete wall at Memorial Stadium that lists names of Seattle high-school students who died in World War II; and the "Purple Haze" facade of Experience Music Project that glows brilliantly in the light of the setting sun.
Various interests
A smart redesign will balance many interests.
About 12 million people visit Seattle Center each year, about half from outside King County.
Yet a redesign could be felt most by the Center's many tenants, including food vendors, museums, an arts-oriented public high school and numerous nonprofit dance, music and theater groups.
The grounds also play host to three of the Puget Sound area's most popular festivals — Bumbershoot, Northwest Folklife and Bite of Seattle. A series of weekend cultural events, Festál, draws people to the Center year-round.
Many of the Center's regular programs are designed for families with young children and senior citizens. Traditionally, many Center attractions and events are free or low-cost.
"I don't want Seattle Center to be gentrified," Councilman Nick Licata said. "I'd like it to remain a living room for anyone in Seattle."
Any changes also will affect those who live and work in the surrounding Lower Queen Anne / Uptown neighborhood. That neighborhood has become more residential, as have nearby Belltown and South Lake Union.
KCTS-TV operates out of a building on the Center grounds, and more workers are on the way with the gargantuan new headquarters for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation across the street.
What's next?
On March 17, the City Council will be briefed on the Century 21 Committee's recommended plan. Rasmussen said the council won't be tied to that recommendation — and you shouldn't be, either.
If a Seattle Center funding measure is to make it onto the November ballot, the council will need to finish its work in July.
Rasmussen said the ballot amount likely wouldn't top $150 million, enough for the first phase of redevelopment, possibly of the Fun Forest site.
Before diving into your redesign, ask yourself what you want the Center to be.
"I see Seattle Center as a haven and respite from the noise and chaos of city streets," Rasmussen said. "I'd like to see a master plan that integrates art, architecture and landscaping throughout."
County Executive Ron Sims, in calling for the city to unleash its imagination, has floated fanciful ideas: a giant grassy park with rain-activated sculptures, canals flowing with treated wastewater and stormwater, live-work lofts for artists, running trails and outdoor cafes.
Sims has said that too much of the Center feels like a beloved but worn-out relic of the 1960s — at worst, "a supersized, underutilized, government-owned tourist trap."
Now it's your turn
Your Seattle Center vision can feature more green space, which is the direction the city seems to be leaning, or something completely different.
You can submit a design that takes the various elements of the Center and fits them into a cohesive whole. Or you can submit a redesign of a singular asset — maybe Memorial Stadium or the Mural Amphitheatre.
The goal, according to Seattle Center director Robert Nellams, is to create "the nation's best gathering place."
But no pressure. Really.

Timing of Exposure |
Research increasingly suggests that the links between chemical exposures and health outcomes are far more complex than traditional models portray. One emerging insight is that chemical exposures can have vastly different health impacts depending on the developmental stage when an individual is exposed (i).

The 1961 New York Yankees were arguably among the best teams of all time. It is a team and a year that centered around the race to break Babe Ruth's long standing single season home run record of 60. Team mates Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris chased the record throughout the club's 162 game schedule. A late season injury slowed Mantle who finished with 54 blasts but Maris broke the Babe's record with 61 round trippers.
While the focus was on the ( M+M Boys ), Mantle and Maris, the Yankee squad won the American League pennant and then defeated the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series. It was redemption time for the Yankees after their 1960 World Series loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates. After the loss to the Pirates, long time manager Casey Stengel was gone. He was replaced by Ralph Houk and in his rookie managerial season he returned the Yankees to the pinnacle of Major League baseball.
There is no doubting the fact that Mantle and Maris were the cornerstones of this great club. Still there were several other players who made significant contributions. First baseman Bill " Moose " Skowron supplied more power with 28 homers. Catcher Elston Howard had a tremendous season with 21 home runs, 77 RBI's and a lofty . 348 batting average. Yogi Berra was getting more and more time in the outfield and less behind the plate but he had a solid year with 22 balls over the fence. Utility outfielder, catcher and pinch hitter Johnny Blanchard added 21 to the team's home run total.
Shortstop Tony Kubek, second baseman Bobby Richardson and third baseman Clete Boyer did not make major offensive contributions but they more then made up for it with their sparkling defensive play. The starting pitching rotation was anchored by Whitey Ford ( 25-4 ) and Ralph Terry ( 16-3 ). The two together were an astounding 41-7 !
Then there was relief pitcher Luis Arroyo. Born in Puerto Rico in 1927, " Yoyo " broke into the big leagues with the Cardinals in 1955 at the age of 28. From there Luis went to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati before arriving in New York in 1960. Arroyo had a decent year out of the Yankee bullpen going 5-1 with a 2.88 ERA and seven saves. Then came 1961...That year Luis put together one of the finest seasons by any relief pitcher of that era. Arroyo appeared in 65 games and worked 119 innings. He fanned 87 batters and finished with a stingy 2.19 ERA. Most impressive though was his 15-5 won-lost record to go along with his 29 recorded saves. It was a truly marvelous performance.
Believe it or not Arroyo only played two more seasons with the Yankees with minimal success before he left the Majors. Still when everyone talks about the great " 61 " Yankees with Mantle, Maris, Howard, Berra, Ford and Terry, remind them of the feats of the unheralded Luis " Yoyo " Arroyo.© Copyright 2012 by mojoomla.com

The 5 Finger Test is a great way to select appropriate books for your child to read. The test provides you and your child a quick and easy way to gauge the difficulty of a book. It is quick test you can use in the library or book store before you make a selection.
Here are the steps that you and your child can use to select a book:
0 Fingers
This book is easy for your child to read.
1 Finger
This book is easy to read but will have some new words to learn.
2 Fingers
Perfect choice - this book is just right for your child.
3 Fingers
A little hard but could be fun for your child to try. You will need to help your child when they read this book.
4 Fingers
Difficult to read. An adult will need to read this book with your child.
5 or more Fingers
This book is probably too hard for your child to read. This book will need to be read with an adult.
It is wonderful to see your child reading every word of a book. However, you should still continue to challenge your child with books that they arent able to breeze through.
Generally, if your child struggles with 5 -6 words on one page, it is probably best to leave that book for a later date. If they are constantly getting stuck on unfamiliar or difficult words, they may get discouraged and lose interest altogether.

Compaq Presario CQ5810 Desktop PC support
This document pertains to HP and Compaq desktop computers that came with Windows 7, Vista, or XP operating systems.
To help prevent software piracy, Microsoft requires that Windows is activated before it can be used as full-version software. There are two methods for activating Windows: Windows Product Activation and System Locked Pre-installation.
Windows Product Activation (WPA) sends an installation ID number to Microsoft before Windows is verified and then activated. WPA involves two numbers. One is an Installation ID (generated by entering a Windows product key) that the computer owner submits to Microsoft. The second is a Confirmation ID, assigned by Microsoft, and is used to activate the operating system's software. This method is used when upgrading or installing a new Windows edition from disc (not HP System Recovery).
System Locked Pre-installation (SLP) takes place at the factory. No intervention is required to activate the operating system software before initial use. With SLP-activated systems, most of the computer's hardware can be replaced without needing to re-activate the software through Microsoft.
Most HP computers use System Locked Pre-installation to make it easier to set up the computer. However, if you decide to install a different Windows Edition on your computer, you will need to activate the new version of Windows. There may also be situations when Windows prompts you for product activation even though the product has already been activated.
Your Windows version
To learn more about how to activate Windows, choose one of the following sections that applies to your version of Windows.
The following windows are examples of messages that can open when Windows 7 is not activated.
These warnings open periodically until Windows is activated. If you activate Windows 7, the messages stop.
If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 7 and have not yet entered a valid activation key, these messages are normal. You must enter a valid product key to continue using an upgraded version of Windows.
If you are getting these messages and your computer came with Windows 7 pre-installed, then Windows 7 may need to be activated again, or the system needs to be recovered using HP System Recovery, which restores the operating system to its original factory condition.
To view activation status and activate Windows, do the following:
- Connect to the Internet. If you cannot connect to the Internet at this time, you can activate by phone later or repeat these steps when an Internet connection is available.
- Click Start , right-click Computer, and select Properties.
- Scroll down on the System Properties window to view the Windows activation status information.To activate Windows 7, continue following these steps:
- Click Change product key.If you want to activate over the phone, click Activate Windows now, click See other ways to activate, and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Type the product key into the Product Key field, click Next, and then follow the on-screen instructions to complete activation.The product key is located on the Certificate of Authenticity label on the computer case or Windows 7 upgrade disc packaging. If you have upgraded to Windows 7, apply the Certificate of Authenticity label from the upgrade disc packaging to the computer for easy access in the future.
- If product activation was successful, a success screen is shown and Windows 7 setup continues. You are done.
For more detailed information about Windows 7 activation, refer to the Microsoft TechNet article
Windows Activation Technologies in Windows 7
(in English).
If your computer came with Windows 7 installed, you can use System Recovery instead of activating Windows online or over the telephone. This restores Windows 7 to its original factory condition, which is pre-activated by default.
NOTE:If you have added any hardware or software, you must reinstall it after running System Recovery.
To perform an HP System Recovery, turn on the computer and immediately press the F11 key repeatedly.
For more information about System Recovery, please see the HP support document,
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
After performing a System Recovery, or re-installing Windows 7, it should not be necessary to repeat the activation process. There are several different recovery situations to consider.
- If the computer shipped with Windows 7 and the Recovery Manager is functional, then use the Recovery Manager to restore the computer to its default factory conditions. Windows 7 is automatically activated.
- If the computer shipped with Windows 7 but the Recovery Manager is not functional, use the Recovery disc to restore the computer to its default factory conditions. Windows 7 is automatically activated.
- If the computer shipped with an earlier version of Windows but included an upgrade disc for Windows 7 provided by HP, you should recover the computer back to its default factory conditions and then upgrade again to Windows 7. Windows 7 is automatically activated.
- If the computer shipped with an earlier version of Windows and you upgraded or custom-installed a full retail version of Windows 7, you should use the Microsoft DVD to re-install Windows 7. Windows 7 is automatically activated.
- If the computer shipped with Windows 7 and the Recovery Manager is not functional, but you have not created the recovery discs, you can order a Windows 7 Recovery DVD. It may be necessary to contact Microsoft to activate Windows 7.
You might be prompted to activate Windows Vista.
Normally, activation in Windows Vista is done automatically on HP and Compaq Desktop computers, but some conditions (turning off the computer during Windows setup, for example) can cause a Windows Activation message to be displayed. When this happens, Windows Vista requires activation or a System Recovery.
If you can still use the Windows Vista desktop, click Start , right-click Computer, and select Properties to view the status of Windows Activation. Scroll down on the System Properties window to view the status information.
If you can still open Windows Vista, you might be able to download a software update that can resolve this issue. Use Windows Update and HP Update to install all critical updates from Microsoft and HP and then restart the computer. If computer Windows Activation screens still continue or you were not able to update your computer, the rest of this information can help you activate or recover your computer.
There are three ways to activate Windows Vista: by broadband connection, by dial-up modem or by Automated Phone System (voice). The first two methods require an Internet connection and the last method requires a voice telephone to dial a toll-free number. The Automated Phone System might take several minutes due to the number of digits that need to be entered. Use the following steps to activate a computer when the Windows Product Activation message opens.
To activate your computer:
- Before starting, if you have a broadband Internet connection, make sure the network cable is connected to the computer. If you have a dial-up modem Internet connection, make sure a phone line is connected to the modem connection on the computer.
- From the Windows Activation window, click Type a different product key.
- Enter the product key number into the product key field and then click Next. This number can be found on a Certificate of Authenticity label adhered to the side of the computer's case.
- If product activation was successful, a success screen is shown and Windows Vista setup continues. You are done.If online product activation failed, an "Activate Windows Now" window opens.
- Click Show me other ways to activate, and then click Next.A "How do you want to activate Windows?" window opens.
- If a modem is not connected, skip this step.If a modem is connected, use the following sub-steps to activate over the modem:Make sure the phone line is not in use, click Use my modem to connect directly to the activation service, and then click Next.Select the most appropriate country/region from the drop-down list labeled Click the nearest location, and then click Next.NOTE: Do NOT click Activate Windows Online now."Connecting to the activation service" is displayed, and the modem dials a number to activate automatically.If product activation was successful, a success screen is shown and Windows Vista setup continues. You are done.If product activation is not successful, you are returned to a previous screen. Repeat these steps using the automated phone system or perform a system recovery.
- To use the automated phone system, click Use the automated phone system from the How do you want to Activate? window, and then click Next.
- To find available phone numbers for activation, select a location near you from the drop-down menu, and then click Next.
- If a phone is not near the computer, get paper and a pencil to write down the installation IDs and confirmation IDs.
- Use a phone to dial the number provided in the Activate Windows Now window.
- Follow the instructions from the phone system to enter the installation ID numbers and write down the confirmation ID numbers.
- Enter the confirmation ID numbers into the fields A through H, in the same sequence as the phone system provided them. When done, click Next.
If product activation was successful, a success screen is shown and Windows Vista setup continues. You are done.
If product activation fails, perform a System Recovery. For more information about System Recovery, please refer to the HP support document,
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows Vista)
For more information about Windows Vista activation, please refer to the Microsoft support article
You might be prompted to activate Windows Vista on a computer on which Windows Vista was already activated by a Volume License or OEM installation
(in English).
If you need to activate an HP or Compaq computer that came with Windows XP, do the following:
- When you try to activate your computer online, using the product key, you are prompted to call the Microsoft Activation call center. The appropriate regional phone number displays.
- A Microsoft representative asks you for the Installation Identification Number (a number generated based on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key entered during setup or installation of XP) and the PC brand.
- If the Installation Identification Number matches one assigned to an HP product, the Microsoft representative should provide a Confirmation Identification Number that allows you to complete the activation process.
If product activation was successful, a success screen is shown and Windows XP setup continues. You are done.
If product activation fails, perform a System Recovery. For more information about System Recovery, please refer to the HP support document,
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows XP)
Helpful information
The following is a list of reasons why product activation might be necessary, and an explanation of terms used during the activation process.
The following conditions might cause an SLP-activated computer to require activation through Microsoft:
- Upgrading Windows.
- Completing an HP System Recovery after recovering from HP Recovery Discs.
- Installing certain device drivers and software.
- Uninstalling certain operating system software or files.
- Updating the BIOS or installing a new BIOS flash from a company other than HP.

Osama bin Laden, the face of global terrorism and architect of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, was killed in a firefight with elite American forces Monday, then quickly buried at sea in a stunning finale to a furtive decade on the run.
Long believed to be hiding in caves, bin Laden was tracked down in a costly, custom-built hideout not far from a Pakistani military academy.
"Justice has been done," President Barack Obama said in a dramatic announcement at the White House while a crowd cheered outside and hundreds more gathered at ground zero in Manhattan to celebrate the news.
The military operation took mere minutes.
U.S. helicopters ferrying elite counter-terrorism troops into the compound identified by the CIA as bin Laden's hideout - and back out again in less than 40 minutes. Bin Laden was shot in the head, officials said, after he and his bodyguards resisted the assault.
Three adult males were also killed in the raid, including one of bin Laden's sons, whom officials did not name. One of bin Laden's sons, Hamza, is a senior member of al-Qaida. U.S. officials also said one woman was killed when she was used as a shield by a male combatant, and two other women were injured.
The U.S. official who disclosed the burial at sea said it would have been difficult to find a country willing to accept the remains. Obama said the remains had been handled in accordance with Islamic custom, which requires speedy burial.
"I heard a thundering sound, followed by heavy firing. Then firing suddenly stopped. Then more thundering, then a big blast," said Mohammad Haroon Rasheed, a resident of Abbottobad, Pakistan, after the choppers had swooped in and then out again.
Bin Laden's death marks a psychological triumph in a long struggle that began with the Sept. 11 attacks, and seems certain to give Obama a political lift. But its ultimate impact on al-Qaida is less clear.
The greatest terrorist threat to the U.S. is now considered to be the al-Qaida franchise in Yemen, far from al-Qaida's core in Pakistan. The Yemen branch almost took down a U.S.-bound airliner on Christmas 2009 and nearly detonated explosives aboard two U.S. cargo planes last fall. Those operations were carried out without any direct involvement from bin Laden.
The few fiery minutes in Abbottobad followed years in which U.S. officials struggled to piece together clues that ultimately led to bin Laden, according to an account provided by senior administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the operation.
Based on statements given by U.S. detainees since the 9/11 attacks, they said, intelligence officials have long known that bin Laden trusted one al-Qaida courier in particular, and they believed he might be living with him in hiding.
Four years ago, the United States learned the man's identity, which officials did not disclose, and then about two years later, they identified areas of Pakistan where he operated. Last August, the man's residence was found, officials said.
"Intelligence analysis concluded that this compound was custom built in 2005 to hide someone of significance," with walls as high as 18 feet and topped by barbed wire, according to one official. Despite the compound's estimated $1 million cost and two security gates, it had no phone or Internet running into the house.
By mid-February, intelligence from multiple sources was clear enough that Obama wanted to "pursue an aggressive course of action," a senior administration official said. Over the next two and a half months, the president led five meetings of the National Security Council focused solely on whether bin Laden was in that compound and, if so, how to get him, the official said.
Obama made a decision to launch the operation on Friday, shortly before flying to Alabama to inspect tornado damage, and aides set to work on the details.
The president spent part of his Sunday on the golf course, but cut his round short to return to the White House for a meeting where he and top national security aides reviewed final preparations for the raid.
Two hours later, Obama was told that bin Laden had been tentatively identified.
CIA director Leon Panetta was directly in charge of the military team during the operation, according to one official, and when he and his aides received word at agency headquarters that bin Laden had been killed, cheers broke out around the conference room table.
Administration aides said the operation was so secretive that no foreign officials were informed in advance, and only a small circle inside the U.S. government was aware of what was unfolding half a world away.
In his announcement, Obama said he had called Pakistani President Zardari after the raid, and said it was "important to note that our counter-terrorism cooperation with Pakistan helped lead us to bin Laden and the compound where he was hiding."
One senior administration told reporters, though, "we were very concerned ... that he was inside Pakistan, but this is something we're going to continue to work with the Pakistani government on."
The compound is about 100 yards from a Pakistani military academy, in a city that is home to three army regiments and thousands of military personnel. Abbottabad is surrounded by hills and with mountains in the distance.
Critics have long accused elements of Pakistan's security establishment of protecting bin Laden, though Islamabad has always denied it, and in a statement the foreign ministry said his death showed the country's resolve in the battle against terrorism.
Whatever the global repercussions, bin Laden's death marked the end to a manhunt that consumed most of a decade that began in the grim hours after bin Laden's hijackers flew planes into the World Trade Center twin towers in Manhattan and the Pentagon across the Potomac River from Washington. A fourth plane was commandeered by passengers who overcame the hijackers and forced the plane to crash in the Pennsylvania countryside.
In all, nearly 3,000 were killed in the worst terror attacks on American soil.
Former President George W. Bush, who was in office on the day of the attacks, issued a written statement hailing bin Laden's death as a momentous achievement. "The fight against terror goes on, but tonight America has sent an unmistakable message: No matter how long it takes, justice will be done," he said.

André CHATELAIN, VP Card Services, Desjardins
In an environment where information security is crucial, Desjardins steps up to the plate once again with an innovative strategy that underlines the importance we place on transaction security for our merchants and cardholders.".
The Desjardins Group is the leading cooperative financial group in Canada, with assets of over $175 billion. It offers a full range of financial products and services including Wealth Management, Life and Property Insurance to its 5.8 million members and clients. Desjardins is one of the largest employers in Canada and one of the country's 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures™ of 2010.
Securing sensitive cardholder data that undergoes multiple encryption and decryption cycles when transactions are transmitted to the acquirer is vital in today's global marketplace and was a critical challenge faced by Desjardins. Objectives within the project were to:
In a joint initiative, Ingenico and Desjardins addressed these challenges through the development of a groundbreaking end-to-end data encryption solution, the only solution of its kind in Canada to provide complete encryption of sensitive credit card information, eliminating the exposure of card numbers at points of sale during the payment process.
This market-beating solution enabled Desjardins and their merchants to comply with PCI Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), slashing the cost associated with eliminating security risks while simplifying and strengthening overall protection against fraud and data theft.
The end-to-end encryption solution was fully integrated into the Desjardins existing host system, maximizing security and allowing for data encryption of all transactions, regardless of how the card is processed. From the moment the card is read by the store's PIN Pad, to the reception of the data by the Desjardins host system for authorization, the data remains protected. Card information cannot be viewed by store personnel nor decrypted by equipment outside of the Desjardins host system, maximizing the security level of every transaction.
What's more, thanks to Ingenico's commitment to maximizing cardholder data security within the wider marketplace, this new encryption technology is due to be rolled out on a wider scale throughout Canada, bringing added value to acquirers, merchants and clients alike.

Hard Drive Dilemma!
Thanks. fvs

There is a grub option you can give called 'map' that lets you change the designation of drives at bootup; this may solve your problem. Take a look at the man page for grub, it might give you enough information to use the option as I'm not all that familiar with it.

Just curious, did you check the basics; bios set to boot on hd0 [primary master], the 80g is set to master and the 20g is set to slave..? If all the h/w is correct, the grub will need to be edited [as mentioned].
I used have a win drive as a secondary master and would just re-set the bios to hd2, [secondary master].

During an earnings call with analysts Dell answered questions about its tablet strategy, specifically how it impacts business customers.
"We also are starting to see a lot of receptivity to the way we've approached the tablet market from a commercial perspective," said Stephen Felice, Dell's President and Chief Commercial Officer.
"I've been meeting with lots of customers who continue to say that they're needing to prioritize security and manageability as they try to roll out tablets in their environment," Felice added, according to a transcript of the call on the site Seeking Alpha.
He said Dell hopes to make inroads with these customers with such products as the Latitude 10 that has security features built-in and a smart card feature as well as a replaceable battery.
The Latitude 10 is an Intel Atom-based Windows 8 tablet with 64GB priced starting at $649. It goes on sale starting December 12.
"These are things that are resonating well on the commercial side," he said. "So that — those opportunities are going to broaden that commercial business for us, and that should help us get back to growth."
Responding to a question about price competition, Dell's CFO Brian Gladden indicated the company was unlikely to compete at the low end.
"Well, our focus on tablets has primarily been in the commercial side. And the feature set that is required there matches up with a richer configuration, and we do think that there's a profit stream there," said Gladden.
"It also has a life cycle of profitability attached to it in terms of services agreements and other add-ons that we think is attractive to us."
What tablets are CIOs complaining about?
In an apparent dig at Apple's iPad and perhaps Android devices as well, Gladden said Dell hear's a lot of complaints from CIOs who are having to deal with the added cost and complexity of not having a standards-based product as a tablet.
"And so we're pretty encouraged by the reaction to the Latitude 10," he said, "and we do see this as a profitable product in the commercial space.
Dell executive Neil Hand is one of the keynoters at the upcoming TabletBiz conference and expo in New York on November 27.

Dungeons and Dragons-level dorkiness or snarky exercise in awareness-heightening through structured defamiliarization of the mundane? Well, Hull did build his house of hipster cards around the Jejune Institute, which screams dork. But the sheer scale and elaborate intricacy of the project argue for loftier intent…that's how the earnest post-movie discussions will start and all to the good, given that the food for thought offered by many American movies would starve a gnat.
And McCall's connection to the project is deeply personal; he was hired in 2011 to shoot faux videos for the Jejune Institute, and his employment came with access to Hull's extensive archives. As McCall became increasingly fascinated by the evolution of the game/happening/site-specific performance piece's evolution, he began interviewing former players, whose experiences seem to have fallen into two camps: Some found it a kicky, invigorating mind-bender, while others discovered that the game's wheels-within-wheels conspiracy hijinks activated a deep vein of paranoia they might have preferred to leave untapped.
All of which is genuinely interesting, even if you find incomprehensible the idea of devoting significant portions of your waking time and energy to what is, more than anything, an elaborate scavenger hunt served up with a dash of charades and a hint of flash-mobbing. But McCall's film is undermined by his problematic decision to coerce viewers into a two-dimensional version of the game experience, doling out information in dribs and drabs in an effort to recreate the real-life players' gradual discovery of a vast alternate reality lurking beneath the surface of everyday life. It's one thing to be interested in the psychology and practical implementation of this elaborate waltz of silliness, and another to be coerced into unwilling compliance with its conceal/reveal structure. And in the end, many viewers will come away shaking their heads and wondering whether perhaps the players just need a hobby, like writing poetry in Klingon, which though equally, well, jejune, would at least be driven by individual desire and discipline rather than orchestrated by a modern-day Miss Sherri.

Man charged for holding up grocery store with pellet gun
A Westmont man has been accused of holding up a Lisle grocery store with a pellet gun last month, DuPage County prosecutors said.
Dean McKenna, 25, appeared in bond court this morning on armed robbery and drugs charges. Judge Elizabeth Sexton set his bail at $350,000, prosecutors said.
McKenna is alleged to have used a pellet gun to rob the Aldi store at Illinois Highway 53 and Maple Avenue Jan. 20. Police say he entered the store and asked a clerk to make change, and after the clerk opened the cash drawer, McKenna stuck the pellet gun in her side and took $1,046.
He then left the area in his vehicle, police said. When he was arrested Wednesday, he had heroin and drug paraphernalia in his possession, prosecutors alleged.
McKenna is next due in court March 3 for his arraignment before Judge Kathryn Creswell. Along with armed robbery, other charges against McKenna include unlawful possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and battery, authorities said.
"The allegations against Mr. McKenna are outrageous," State's Attorney Robert Berlin said. "Robbing someone who is trying to make an honest living at gunpoint will not be tolerated and will be met with the full force of the law."

Now this is based on my circumstances, and yours may differ, but I thought I'd share my research and thought process FWIW. I posted this first in another thread that was mostly about pellet stoves, but realized a lot of people might not see it who might have something to add, too. Some others may find some things in it worth considering.
For a year I dithered between pellet and wood. I was going to put in a pellet stove last year, but circumstances prevented it. Glad it happened that way: it gave me more time to evaluate the options. A regular wood stove won out; I just ordered it and it will be installed in November. In my case, the delay is for scheduling the installation of the chimney, because all the chimney guys are booked so far in advance. I had no trouble finding the wood stove I wanted, because there is a huge demand for pellet stoves right now, and wood stoves are easier to find. Here is why I decided on wood: 1. Businesses and corporations have or are switching to pellet and have contracts with pellet companies, which ties up a lot of product. Price of pellets have gone up and that is not likely to change. Availability of pellets depends on increasing manufacturing capacity and availability of raw materials. Though pellets can be made from non-wood materials, there is a huge question mark about how that is going to affect markets for other uses of those materials-- or the land needed to produce them. 2. Efficiency also needs to take into account the energy costs of manufacture, packaging, and transport. The fuel you choose may vary depending on these factors. I know that in some areas pellets are made of straw residue or other material that otherwise would be open-burned. For folks in those areas like that, that might be a responsible choice. It wouldn't be for me. 3. I live in New England. At this point, pellets for home consumption are actually being imported from the midwest (at least it's not the mid-east!). With a wood stove, I am not dependent on a manufacturer. I am supporting local guys who earn their living cutting on sustainable woodlots. For years a lot of those woodlots went unmanaged because there wasn't a demand. Now there is a resurgence of small-scale local industry and jobs. I like that. 4. Pellet stoves require electricity to run mechanicals, and battery backup is generally only good for a few hours. Electrical outages due to wind, ice, or lightening strikes are not uncommon where I live, and sometimes last for several days or longer. My wood stove requires no electricity to run. I stay warm. 5. I did the math for me: the cost of the stove, chimney and installation (pro installation is required here) will be paid for within 3 years by the difference in fuel savings (assuming oil continues to cost what it does now, a reasonable assumption). It would take a lot longer with a pellet stove, and with both stove and pellets costing more, I am not sure it would ever happen. And ask any wood burner: after a while we develop an inbuilt sense of when it is time to stick another log in that's as automatic as any thermostat. I bought this house over four years ago, and I think when I get that wood stove in, it will finally become home. Dayle Ann
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for the info - What did you end up buying? I'm just starting to read up on this subject to add a more efficient heating source to my house over oil. I have a pre-fab metal fireplace and want to add an insert. Right now my thoughts are pellet or wood? I ruled out the LP gas firelogs. I'm not sure I want to invest a lot of money and get locked into a fuel source that has to be manufactured and price depends on supply & demand...I already use one of those in my oil burner... I can get cord wood locally and have tons of trees on my property that need to get cut also. I'm going to visit a few local dealers in SE CT/RI to get the opinions on wood vs. pellet etc... Thanks. |
If one has "excess" wood on their property and they are willing to put in the sweat labor, maybe in stead of going to the gym, another savings it seems to me, then wood by all means. Wood takes more hands on management, but some of us find that work enjoyable. I've see on another forum a lot of talk about problems finding a supply of pellets, that's a major concern in my mind. |
Rich, if you have a prefab fireplace, you may not be able to use an insert. My understanding is that codes don't allow it because the prefabs are not designed to take an insert. You might be able to install a free-standing stove into the chimney, though. The dealers and your local building permit agency can fill you in. Dayle Ann |
Dayle Ann, Very happy for you. A house is not a house without a wood stove especially when you live where you live or where I live (in Nova Scotia). We have a Pacific Energy and we love it. Enjoy on those cold and damp days! Anicée |

Dayleann, Yes you can put an insert into a prefab fireplace. These fireplaces are called "Zero clearance" fireplaces and many inserts are indeed certified for these installations. I put an Avalon insert into a Heatolator prefab fireplace in the early 90s. And although I sold the house in 2002 the new owner still uses it with no problems. |
We're having a Pacific Energy zero clearance wood-burning insert (Vista model) installed into our existing Heatolator fireplace on September 5. As long as it's properly prepped and installed and the existing structure is sound, there should be no problems. |

I too live in New England and enjoy my woodstove. I have a Regency F100 unit and it heats my 1200 sq ft ranch very nicely. Especially when the nighttime temps often go to minus 25. Wood dealers are local businessmen who won't screw their customers. They want the business again next year. And often on a snowy winter evening we'll turn off the TV and just watch the fire. The wood fire can be damped down to a lazy soft flame. Not the busy fire I always see in a pellet stove. And to be honest, sometimes the fire is more entertaining than what's on TV today!

We built a garage last summer that required the elimination of several rather large hardwoods (big maple and several smaller red oaks). We had it cut into to 16" rounds and picked away at the pile last fall/winter. We did OK, but we weren't really serious about dealing with the bounty as we were otherwise occupied with DIY finish work inside the garage. We were on vacation last week and we spent 5-6 mornings in the company of our splitter to get the rounds split and stacked before it rotted on the ground. It wasn't unpleasant work at all. We managed to get nearly 4 cord put up for the '09/'10 heating season and beyond (we have seasoned wood put up for the coming season). We have a few more small piles of rounds to address in the coming weeks, but it's pretty much under control. And we had a good time doing it, laughing and joking as we stacked and finding an easy rhythm for the teamwork of splitting. OK, I'll get to the point. We have just under 3 acres that were wooded when we built our home in '91. Our "first major appliance" was our Woodstock Soapstone stove. In the years hence we've never purchased wood. We've simply used what was taken down for the house, garage, or landscaping projects. And we've had plenty for our needs. We set the thermostats at the lowest setting and use wood to keep the house as cozy as we want or to simply "take the chill off" when it's raw outside. We have a splitter and honestly, the hardest part of the operation is just DECIDING that we're going to deal with wood. Once we make the decision the work is pretty easy and the feeling of accomplishment is terrific. I live in New England, too. And there have been a number of stories of pellet manufacturers being stretched beyond capacity by the volume of orders. I'm all for eliminating the middleman whenever possible. |

The lost colony of Roanoke facts and theories are a real psychic mystery. This is because we know how it started but we don't know how and why it was ended.
The story of the lost colony of Roanoke begins in the 16th century when the European came to America. There have been many problems in that area and life were not easy. There are many facts and theories to support this, for example there was not enough food for everyone in this little village. They could not defend themselves against Native American attacks. This situation has lead the governor of this area to go back to England and ask for supply so people will be able to live there decently. But when he came back to the village three years later he didn't found even one person there. Imagine how is it to go back to your town and found that it was all destroyed and no one is living there.
Here are some of the lost colony of Roanoke facts and mystery theories: it is very logical the people will live this place because life was very hard there so they started a new colony in another place. Another theory is that a disease stroke this place and everyone has been killed, but the problem is that no one found bodies so unless they all have been buried somewhere, this is not a strong claim. Another story in that hurricane strokes this area and breaks everything around. But again, when the governor came back he found that the fence around the colony was standing and it can be that the hurricane will destroy everything but the fence. The last theory is that they all been killed by the Native American.
The lost colony of Roanoke facts and theories are blend together, some parts of it are known and others are still a secret. There are many holes in the history of man kind.

A measure to repeal a ban on medical marijuana dispensaries in Dacono has been cleared to appear on the ballot in 2013.
City Clerk Valerie Taylor said Monday that supporters had collected twice the number of valid signatures needed to get on the ballot. A special election could be scheduled between Feb. 11 and May 13.
In June, the City Council had voted to ban marijuana dispensaries, requiring the three pot shops in town to leave by Dec. 31. That deadline stands unless an agreement can be reached or legal action suspends the ban.
Colorado voters in November passed Amendment 64, allowing for marijuana use under state law without a doctor's recommendation. Marijuana is still illegal under federal law.
