BSOD when installing Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit) checked build
Hi guys,
I am trying to install the checked build version of Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit) but I am receiving a BSOD with, "STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000420, 0x8A115A15, 0x89B86628, 0x89B86150)" even before the installation GUI is shown. The technical information message also shows, "ACPI.sys - Address 8A115A15 base at 8A0C9000, DateStamp 4ce78f21". I have the free build version of Windows 7 Ultimate N (64-bit) installed on the same setup, but on a different hard drive, without any problems. I am using the following hardware, Intel DH55TC motherboard, Intel Core i5 650 processor 4 GB RAM. After reading some articles on the internet I tried the following without any success : Using only one RAM module during installation, as suggested by some. Connecting only one hard drive during installation, as suggested by some. Checked that the cooling system on the CPU is in good condition, as suggested by some. Disabling ACPI in BIOS but the system does not allow it. Disabling ACPI in Windows but apparently that can't be done for Windows 7. I also read, at Win 7 checked build installation problem on DG41WV, that the Intel DG41WV motherboard produced similar messages prior to installation. Does my DH55TC board support checked build versions of Windows? Any help will be much appreciated! |

Do you have a known good installer for the Checked Build version? How was it burned to DVD or written to flash stick?
Try wiping the HD first with Diskpart Clean Command. Reset BIOS to defaults, set SATA controller to AHCI, unplug all other drives and peripherals. You may also need to supply SATA controller drivers to overcome the BSOD: Checked and Free Build Differences (Windows Drivers) |

Thanks for the help!
I downloaded the Windows 7 (32-bit) debug/checked build version image (ISO) from MSDN. I trust this is a good installer. After the download I burned the ISO to a DVD using "ISO2Disc" (http://www.top-password.com/iso2disc.html) and wrote the ISO to a flash stick using "ISO to USB" (ISO to USB). Both options produce the BSOD. I tried your suggestion of first wiping the HD with the Diskpart clean command, but the BSOD still persists before installation. I tried resetting the BIOS and setting the SATA controllers to AHCI, but the installation still fails. I am also sure the BIOS is up to date as I checked this before attempting the installation. |

Try burning DVD with ImgBurn at 4x speed, or writing to flash stick using Universal USB Installer with Win7 in dropdown menu.
I'd also try IDE mode and inserting SATA controller drivers, first in AHCI mode. |

I tried your suggestion of using Universal USB installer but the BSOD was still waiting.
I also tried the IDE mode but with no success. I have decided to take the easy way out and install the checked build version on a different setup. It worked . I was able to install the checked build version on two other systems, without any trouble, using the installation DVD that I burned with ISO2Disk so I don't think the burning application was the problem. I think the problem lies with the Intel motherboard... Just for interest sake. I was able to install the free build version of Windows on the system with the Intel motherboard but not the checked build version. Thanks for your help in any case! |

Settings changes which allow install might then be found in BIOS setup, if at all.

NATE Presenting Live Webinar on Preventing Fatalities and Catastrophic Accidents
Watertown, SD - Apr 2, 2014 - While OSHA continues to refer cases to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution, more often it is an aggressive local district attorney or state attorney general who is bringing even more criminal prosecutions for fatalities and catastrophic accidents. At the same time, plaintiffs' attorneys are bringing civil tort actions against companies and their safety managers for violations of safety regulations that cause death or serious injuries and, in many cases, using the OSHA inspection file to prove their case. Also, the EPA is securing evidence from the OSHA inspection to bring criminal environmental lawsuits. This session will discuss how to improve the effectiveness of your company safety program, including identifying and abating serious and potentially fatal workplace hazards, while providing you the tools to handle a workplace fatality or catastrophic accident.
This session will examine:
Titled "Stairway to Heaven: Preventing Fatalities and Catastrophic Accidents," the webinar goes live April 22, 2014, from 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. EDT.

What is a pretty skirt without a finished hem?
We are smack dab in the middle of dressing up these stairs (the treads are still the construction set and I'll share how we finished out the risers soon), starting first by adding a skirt to the stairs.
You can read all about how we put a skirt on these stairs here.
The main reason we skirted the stairs was so we could easily transition the baseboard trim down the hall from upstairs,
And then right around the corner,
And right down the stairs.
Without a skirt, we'd have had to do ump-teen mitered cuts, down each riser, along each tread, down the next riser, and so on. We'd still be cutting corners - literally.
And what the heck to do if the treads have a bullnose front?????
The 2-Tylenol-once-in-a-while my midwife okayed are definitely not enough to undertake that headache.
Now put a skirt on it, and we are really talking the corner cutting I like - as in just two corners.
The first corner is like the rest of the baseboard in the Momplex - just an outside mitered corner. It's a good idea to start your skirt allowing the baseboard to run horizontally so you avoid impossible double beveled corners. You have to pick, angle or bevel - there's no having your angle and beveling it too.
So after the baseboard bevels around the corner, we'll need to angle down the stairs.
So how to find this angle cut???
It's easier than you'd ever guess and no fancy tools required! Nope - you won't even need to raid your kids schools supplies for a compass.
And just continue right down the stairs and on to the landing, and right down to the lower level.
I know, it really should be more difficult than this, shouldn't it? Don't tell Mom we cut just a few corners on these stair base mouldings, okay?
We were really hoping to get some homemade cookies over this base moulding job.
Or at least that beaming proud parent look.

"Great book from Ben Bova"
I liked this book because of all the ways Orion rescued and trained the people he came across including the Neanderthal, Ben Bova has a good imagination
Most memorable part for me was where Orion got to see the Neanderthals in their home before the wars and finally saw who he was really fighting the whole time
I like the character that he brings to the people in the story, something I can't do for myself
I really enjoyed this book
"No surprise here, from child... Awesome!!!"
Absolutely, I love lee child, I have only heard a few of his jack reacher novels, but they're great! I'm never dissapointed with lee child
The part where jack saves the boy and his mother from Paul and his devious pleasures, how he wasn't afraid to give his life to save others, like a good soldier offers his life to save innocent people.
I'm a truck driver, the cab of my truck can get noisy, I would much appreciate if he wouldn't drop his voice so much, he gets very hard to hear sometimes, unlike Scott brick or jay Snyder who are very nice to listen to when I'm driving
Yep! But I break it up over several days, because like I said, I'm a driver and I like to listen to a good exciting book to keep me awake when I get sleepy
Great work lee child! Love all your books!
"Another keeper from Ben Bova"
Yes, I would listens again, I enjoyed this book
I think I could compare this title to the Orion series, there is a lot of space travel and exploration in both
I like Stefan Rudnicki, he is a very good narrator for truck drivers because he keeps his voice at a fairly constant volume, which is nice because I don't have to keep fooling with the volume control while I'm driving
No, I'm generally not an emotional person
"Didn't see that coming!!!"
It kept me on my toes and guessing, I was never sure what was coming, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I'm not sure what to compare it to, I've never listened to or read another book like this one
I don't know if I had a favorite part, I enjoyed the whole book other than the end here the mad scientist was growing more of the weeds and selling it as drugs, that part was a bit disturbing
No, it was not that kind of book for me
Preston and child are my favorite duo, they never disappoint
"One of the better vampire books out there"
I liked the fact that there was a vampire helping him kill other vamps, and teachiñg him that u can't judge people by what they are, u gotta reserve judgement until u know the person before u can pass judgement on anybody
When Abe avenged his mothers death by killing the vampire who poisoned her
My favorite scene was the gang war between the different vampire groups
No not really,
I'm kinda waiting to see the movie
"I loved it, very touching."
Yes, James Patterson created a masterpiece with this book
Hue was my favorite character, he was the main character and the story was written around his life
See above
Yes, I was moved almost to tears when hue found Sophie only to have her die in his arms
I do like the end of the story how the king sets all things right
"A true gem, I loved it"
A true masterpiece!!!
I like the way a 20th century boy overcame 9th century problems, problems he was ill prepared to face, but he never gave up no matter the odds against him
I love Stefan Rudnicki, I don't believe I have ever been dissapointed with any of his performances.
Yes, some things made me laugh, the widows tricks were pretty funny
I would to see more stories like this one
"A bit too much for me"
Probably middle of the road, not quite up there with john rain series, but above the other monster books I've heard
Yes I think I would try another book, I rather enjoyed the first and third books in the series, I also enjoyed hard magic, other than the narrator
Earl, although he didn't play as big a role as I would have liked
I'm waiting to see the next one
"Another marvel! Cussler doesn't disappoint!"
All of it! I love the husband wife duo! I like all the close calls and narrow escapes, as well as the ingenious modes of escape.
I can compare it with "the navigator" much the same story, evil rich guy has visions of grandeur and power only to have his plans spoiled by the good guys, but I loved it.
Scot Brick has a gift, not only for telling the story but for giving the characters their personality and voice, without sluring to accomplish the goal. 5 stars for Scott Brick
Keep up the great work Clive, I look forward to all your books
"Not what I come to expect from Correia"
Larry Correia, certainly! Bronson Pinchot, not so much, I was a bit disappointed with the way he slurs.
I wasn't really disappointed with the story, a bit less than I come to expect from him though
The performance could have been much better if Bronson didn't slur so much to give the characters their voices, but perhaps that's the only way he can do it, not everyone has the gift like some other narrators have
Delila becoming a zombie, although he did rescue that scene with her heroic death.
A decent story, but ot quite what I expect from Larry.

Here's how RW members rated this race (229 votes).
In short: Too many entries in 2013In full: I ran this race in 2012 and again in 2013. The facilities clearly did not cope well with the 1500 entries they allowed this year.If the organisers want to allow so many entries next year they need to sort the bag drop and toilets at the start and possibly consider re-routing to avoid the gravel beech at 2.5 miles on the outward leg.That said, the time of year and the mud made this a race I would do again.Date of review: December 22, 2013
In short: OK for a Sunday long run, but don't bother racing itIn full: Unless you are right at the front, I can't see how this course is race-worthy.I turned this into a long run and thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was sold to me as a race though and I'd have to argue that the course does not lend itself to race conditions. With lots of running in single file, trying not to slip over on 20-odd miles of mud or shingle and a dip in the sea for the stragglers (up to knee level), this is a slow, over-populated and dangerous (in places) course. I'll be back though, but just for a jog again.I object to paying £8.50 for parking and I missed the start by 6 minutes because I had to wait for the toilet. I recommend that the organisers limit entries to 500 in future. Date of review: December 22, 2013
In short: Flat, but mixed terrain and wind makes it challenging.In full: A very flat course around Langstone Harbour and back. I agree with the slightly chaotic start. There seemed to be no announcement to get people sheltering from the elements in race reception out to the race start. It started a couple of minutes early too, which must have confused those sheltering from the rain until the last minute.That's a fairly minor niggle though. I really enjoyed the race. There's a great atmosphere and, once out of Southsea, you have a view of the water pretty much all the time. The surface is a largely a mix of gravel paths and asphalt, with a couple of dips down onto the shingle seashore. the off-road stuff was muddy and challenging in places after the recent rain, with some slippery mud.Really well-stocked drinks stations with friendly volunteers. I missed out on the mince pies and other christmas fayre, but appreciated the gels and water bottles.Date of review: December 22, 2013
In short: Bit too busy for the route and facilities...In full: Fourth year in a row I've done this event and whilst its great that its grown, it's probably got too big for the course its on and the facilities at the current base.Good points1) Friendly folk at the aid stations, lots of well stocked goodies there.2) Goody bag looks decent3) Flat quickish very "multi-terrain course"4) Lots of friendly familiar faces.5) Can park 2 minutes from venue.Bad points1) Pyramids was utterly over crowded/jam packed probably to dangerous levels.2) Course was a swamp in places after a lot of rain... 3) Medal is in the goody bag. Always feel a cardinal sin to do this at a marathon, not even bothered to look at it yet. If the organisers can't be bothered to hang them around finishers necks then its a very anti-climatic finish for me and takes some of the sense of achievement away.4) Course was too busy in many, many places. There were lots of bottle necks, lots of bits of course are single track, there is a kissing gate, bike blockers, mud, puddles, lots of stop/starts/shuffles/stumbles, 1600 entrants on that course is too much I feel.5) Medical staff at the finish could do with some people skills!6) Said parking is £8.507) Start went early, first announcement I heard (at 8:56) was "Its started..."Date of review: December 22, 2013
In short: A great course... For summer!In full: It truly was a great course, but mighty challenging with so much wet mud, running on gravel and strong headwinds.Water stations superb. Really friendly, nicely stocked.BUT, clearly not enough loos at the start, the registration hall was chaos, and the race started a few minutes, this combined with loo queues, means I started really late. Date of review: December 22, 2013
In full: First marathon for me and I did not feel out of place, good organisation and water stations with mice pies, bananas etc, great marshalling and lovely medal and goody bagDate of review: December 22, 2013
In short: Nice atmospere - to kick off the Xmas holidays!In full: This is a nice run to do - but it can be tricky, due to water and wind. The 2013 version was rich in puddles, and a nasty wind on the seafront at the very end. But there is a friendly feel about it, and there are mince pies along the way. What's not to like!Date of review: December 22, 2013
In short: Need to have some more drink stations and change the route at the western endIn full: Great fun race but there needs to be more drinks stations and the route from Pyramids to the west (old town) and back was marred by lots of joe public milling about near the arcades and fast food restaurants.Date of review: February 24, 2013
In short: Surprisingly pretty and well organisedIn full: Really enjoyed this race. Despite being in a largish city there was plenty of parking, no extreme queues at the toilets, and easy to understand directions. The weather was glorious which helped make the views and the scenery look really pretty and the terrain was challenging but didn't impede anyone who had trained hard and was looking for a good time. The only slight gripe I had was I wore off-road trainers as the pre-race notes suggested it would be a mud bath and there would be lots of off-road running. In fact the vast majority was on concrete and the off-road bits would have easily been dealt with in my normal trainers. However this was a small issue that (only) I had so no real complaints.Date of review: February 21, 2013
In short: A flat race with a mixture of surfacesIn full: Enjoyed the race - though the weather may have had a significant contribution. Scenery was ok, but i didn't like the council estate section after the park (mile 5ish), but this was only minimal section and needs must in an urban setting. Finished mid pack so had no problems with the goody bags etc, that others have indicated, though the funnel was sooooo slooowwww. Dodging strollers added to the fun but the trail sections on the sea shore became a bit traffic jam. My only issues were open cups of water as i like to sip a bottle as i run and the final U-turn was not really indicated clearly, and i was pooped by then and looking for home - but both really minor issues that wouldn't stop me doing it again. Spoke to some marshalls collecting signs in the afternoon and they indicated local scrotes had robbed some which may explain some of the other comments regarding signage. Overall a good race, just not perfect.Date of review: February 21, 2013

Ten years ago, a massive earthquake rolled under the Japanese city of Kobe at dawn, toppling 140,000 buildings, causing 300 major fires, killing more than 5,000 people and leaving 300,000 homeless.
To help cover the story for the Los Angeles Times, I left my wife to care for our 10-day-old daughter and flew into the city with a small team of Los Angeles-based trauma doctors and nurses. We found a surreal, smoking ruin of a city with roads twisted like coils of rope, high-rises tilted at Dr. Seuss angles and thousands of middle-class families jammed into dingy, ice-cold rooms in the few public buildings left standing.
Just as in the tsunami zone of south Asia this month, the immediate health danger, besides a possible outbreak of disease, was a lack of fresh water. More than 75% of the city's water supply was destroyed when underground pipes fractured. As much as they desired pallets of drugs, food, blankets and tents sent from throughout Japan and abroad, the Kobe survivors coveted -- and needed -- clean, bottled water for cooking, drinking and bathing. Both incidents are a stark reminder that water is our most precious resource. Because it is seemingly ubiquitous in the U.S., it is taken for granted. Massive snowstorms in California this month have loaded up the snowpack that provides water there, and rains in the Southeast are filling reservoirs in that part of the country. The rest of the world, however, is not so fortunate.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Review your investments before April 5
Q: With the tax year coming to an end what things should I be planning for?
Q: With the tax year coming to an end what things should I be planning for?
As another tax year draws to a close on April 5 you have your final opportunity to take a number of steps which can save you some tax. Today I will outline a couple of them. You need to act quickly though, and I suggest this week rather than next.
Q: I am finalising arrangements to accept a voluntary severance package from my employer. I have been told that the first £30,000 of my lump sum is tax free. Is this the case?
Making pension contributions can add thousands of pounds to your overall pot simply through availing of your tax relief
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a relatively new tax, but in its 44-year lifetime it has undergone a lot of changes. What I find in my consultancy is that more and more people have to be concerned about this tax.
Q: I am shortly to receive a lump sum as part of a voluntary severance package. I have been told that I can invest a portion of this in my AVC pension pot, and then reclaim the money thereby triggering some sort of tax saving. Can you clarify the situation?
Speaking as an accountant I am pleased that people are so loyal to their accountants and don't change them every couple of years like they do their mobile phones.
Q : I have been told that I should make a will. My understanding is that even without a will, my family will receive all my possessions. Can you clarify my position?
There could be tax savings, but you have to weigh up the additional costs a limited company can bring
Q : I have just paid a significant tax bill for last year. I am not a particular fan of pensions. Are there any other ways that I can look to mitigate my tax bill next year?
A skip through self-employment — a few points for you to consider before starting up on your own
Positive steps you can take to reduce your bills and keep on the right side of the balance sheet
Q : I have recently been made redundant and am looking for some general financial advice. Which issues should I be addressing?
Accountants' sigh of relief won't last long if Offshore Disclosure Facility 2 is launched by HMRC
Q. I have just completed my tax return for last year ahead of the deadline. What planning should I consider now so that next year it is not left to the last minute?
I am always surprised at how late people leave getting their tax return done. Whether they submit their own returns or use an accountant, there's nothing quite like running up to the wire.
QUESTION: With Christmas |imminent, what is the tax position in regards to gifting money to my family or to a charity?
As the big day draws near, we should all pity poor Santa. Not only does he have a long night of deliveries ahead, but he also may have his tax returns to worry about.
This week I am going to talk about the extra tax allowances which are available to many people once they reach 65.
HM Revenue & Customs had a good month in the courts in November.
There's no better time to take advice on how to...

I know this is a tennis board, but damn man, I mean he is so horrible against this team. He seems to do fine against other teams, but this team is always beating the tar out of him. How do you pitch so perfectly and then suddenly suck against the Red Sox, they're good, but they're not this good. For some reason he's always so afraid to pitch against them. I know they tried to outbid agaisnt the Yankees to get him, but since they tried to get him, it's like he's totally afraid to pitch to them.

Carmen Caliente came to have a good time. She was a cutie with a juicy booty. Carmen explained how she loved huge cock, as she undressed and revealed that round ass. Carmen shook it all around in incredible fashion for us. She spread her legs and played with her sweet pussy. Carmen got her pussy licked, and she sucked and fucked that cock. She got her tight little pussy drilled and got man juice all over her pretty face.
Site: 8th Street Latinas
Date: Friday, March 7, 2014
Brick and Tony were going for a bite to eat and ended up with a fantastic Latina dish. Carmen was getting in her car, as they drove by, Tony couldn't help but see this sexy Latina's gorgeous ass sticking through the bottom of her shorts. After pulling the "car stalled" scam, they noticed she was also wearing a top that allowed her nipples and sexy perky tits to slip out from time to time. The guys were sold, and it didn't take much to talk her into coming back with them to waste some time and make some money. Once back at the room, Carmen wanted to eat her burger, but with the flash of some cash, she dropped her shorts and gives us an enticing dance in her one piece. Brick could no longer stand back and watch. He jumped in and after plenty of sucking and fucking, he covered her pussy in his special sauce.

With anti-gay organizations like the American Family Association, Concerned Women for America and Liberty Counsel urging students to walkout of schools on April 20th to protest the Day of Silence, a day when students in many schools remain silent to draw attention to anti-gay bias and bullying, the Family Research Council is now endorsing one Connecticut pastor's efforts to have the school prohibit any student from participating in the Day of Silence.
According to the New Haven Register, Loomer's campaign is based on material from rabidly anti-gay activist Linda Harvey of Mission America, along with debunked claims that the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, which spearheads the Day of Silence, distributes pornographic material to children, pastor James Loomer of Milford is trying to convince his local school board to forbid students from partaking in the event. However, the school board's own legal counsel and the American Civil Liberties Union notes that students have a right to participate in the Day of Silence during non-instructional time.
But Loomer's unconstitutional and anti-gay ploy was rewarded with an interview on FRC president Tony Perkins' radio show Washington Watch Weekly, where Loomer said that "parents will be so appalled at what the Day of Silence could lead their children into" and Perkins noted that while he opposed bullying, he also opposed anti-bullying efforts like the Day of Silence because it is "cover for the promotion of homosexuality" and commended Loomer's efforts to ban it.
Loomer: If the board decides they don't want to take any corrective actions we're already making plans to call the city families together and just apprise them of the situation. I think the parents will be so appalled at what the Day of Silence could lead their children into that they're going to want to stand up and say, 'let's get rid of this.' There are alternative programs that focus on disrupting the bullying that goes on in schools but this is one that's got a serious kickback to it.
Perkins: Look, bullying should not be taking place in our schools, every child in America should be able to go to school—public school, private school, wherever—without the fear of threat or being intimidated, regardless of what the cause is, whether they're overweight, whether their religious viewpoints, no child should be bullied because they are effeminate or because of their sexual orientation or whatever, it shouldn't happen, but we cannot allow these programs like the Day of Silence to come into our schools as a cover for the promotion of homosexuality. That's what is happening with this so we appreciate Pastor Loomer and others who are drawing attention to this in communities across the country.
The Connecticut Supreme Court today ruled that the State Constitution requires the state to allow same sex couples to obtain civil marriage licenses.
"This is a proud day for the people of Connecticut, and a good day for the principle of equality," said Kathryn Kolbert, president of People For the American Way Foundation. "The Supreme Court's decision was grounded in constitutional principles and core American values. Discrimination is wrong. Unequal treatment under the law is wrong.

On organized reporting trips, arranged sources often see you not just as a journalist asking questions, but as an extension of the organization funding valuable services and programs. There's often a desire to give the "right" answer in order to show that the program is working, and that more funding is needed. Directing a question toward a particular answer—"Do you breastfeed your child exclusively?" versus "How do you feed your child?"—unintentionally guides your source into offering what they think you want to hear.
Think not only about the sources you speak to, but how those sources got to you, and who you're not talking to, especially when you're speaking with sources pre-selected by the foundations and nonprofits underwriting the trip. Though interviewing pre-selected sources can be helpful, because you know the person is legit, it also raises concerns, especially when there's funding involved.
The person you're talking to is a rational actor making decisions based on a set of incentives and realities. Kim Yi Dionne, an assistant professor of government focusing on African politics at Smith College, recommends asking yourself, "Have they been coached? Are they getting something out of it? Do they have something to gain? Do they have anything to lose?"
Your perspective is different than that of the people you cover. Recognizing that, starting from scratch, and asking open questions can help you figure out where they're coming from, what their priorities are and why.
Missing nuance and power structures
When you're trying to write about a new place, whether that's a country you're visiting for the first time or an unfamiliar ethnic enclave around the corner, the work of understanding the basics can take precedence. It's easy to unintentionally simplify the landscape.
In Malawi, many of the development workers we interviewed were Malawian; it wasn't a case of Westerners running the show. But many of them were from more prosperous regions working in poorer ones, or came from the relatively elite, educated classes and were trying to explain the cultural practices of people who shared a national flag but came from very different backgrounds.
"One of the biggest mistakes I see [journalists make] is the reification of culture and the essentialization of culture," says Shayna Plaut, a PhD candidate who has taught courses on human rights to journalists and aspiring journalists in the US, Canada and Central/Eastern Europe since 2004. "When we are engaged and interacting with a culture we're unfamiliar with, we are looking for patterns."
Plaut uses the recent Chris Christie bridge traffic scandal as an example: When we report on that story just across the river, "We know to look for hidden agendas. We know that what's said may not actually be what's going on and we know how to dig and where to dig. We know peoples' alliances. If that same incident took place in a country or a culture we're not familiar with, there's a good chance we would accept the story that fits into our pre-existing mindset."
Expand your reporting out beyond the people made immediately available to you, helpful as they may be.
"When you're actually going to another country and getting the little tour of the pre-selected interviewees, one of the things I do in a concrete way is see who's cooking and I look to see who's taking out the trash," Plaut says. "I look to see who's serving drinks. I look to see who's driving the car. And I chat with them. I see who's on the periphery of power. That's who you have a conversation with."
Illustrating with an exception
A paradox of journalism is that we want our reporting to be accurate and representative, but we need our stories to be new and surprising in order to sell papers or get pageviews. That reality can make reporters spending a short amount of time in a country they don't know well latch onto the stories that strike them as the most bizarre or exotic. When reported back to a Western audience, subcultures or unusual practices can be seen as representative.
"You have to look at the patterns overall in society, and see if this is anomalous," Dionne says. "Which isn't to say this isn't important; it's just to provide some context, so that the reader isn't fooled into thinking that because you provided this one story, this is how it is for everyone."
One way to make sure that you're providing appropriate context is to include hard numbers. What percentage of the population has a particular disease or engages in this particular ritual? How common is the phenomenon you're reporting on? Is there an unanticipated story in the data?

Stopping his body from going up any further, Elliot slammed his body back down on the bed. Feeling a little blush creeping up on him, Elliot found his muscles were really tense. Oh my.

Category: baby name Vivian
By Erin Waldron
This past week, America said a sad goodbye to one of the most beautiful and influential voices of our time when poet, author, educator, actress, director, and civil rights activist Dr. Maya Angelou passed away on May 28. While we mourn her loss and reflect on her countless accomplishments and the extraordinary life she lived, here are just a few ideas for those who may consider honoring Dr. Angelou's legacy for a 2014 baby. If you are expecting a new addition this year, would you choose any of the following for your child's first or middle name spot? I would love to hear more of your suggestions in the comments.
Marguerite: This is Maya Angelou's birth name, which was shortened to "Maya" as a nickname from her older brother. Marguerite, the French form of Margaret, has been off the charts since 1970, but is on the verge of a comeback, currently at Number 406 in Nameberry.
Thanks, Hanniekitt, for posting this great question in the forums that we're taking to the blog: What are the names in the book you're currently reading, and what do you think of them?
You can think of this as the Nameberry Book Club, where we talk not about plot and pacing and characters but about the characters' names (sounds like our kind of book club, right?).
I just finished reading the new New York Times bestselling novel Orphan Train, by my friend Christina Baker Kline who's blogged for Nameberry on naming her three sons (and making some mistakes along the way). Her characters' names include:
Vivian — One of those names I've been hearing a lot of in fiction recently as in life, maybe because it means life? Ann Hood recently wrote for us about using it in her novel The Obituary Writer.
Niamh — Vivian's original Irish name, changed when she was put on the orphan train because it was too "foreign and difficult." Couldn't help feeling that losing her lovely name was one of the biggest tragedy's of the character's difficult life!
Molly — The Native American teenager that the old Vivian befriends….and my husband's pick for our daughter!
Some stylish baby names in Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel's Nameberry 9.
When I heard that Lily Allen was expecting a second child, my heart skipped a beat.
I don't know Lily Allen. When her first baby arrived, I had to Google search to find out that she was a singer, and I'd never heard her sing until I headed to YouTube.
The British pop starlet turned television presenter made waves with her first daughter's name, Ethel Mary, and I've followed her ever since. She didn't disappoint with her second daughter's name, Marnie Rose.
What would you call Allen's style?
I'm thinking "So Retro it Hurts." She chooses great names that few of us have the guts to use – yet.
We classify names as traditional or modern, classic or trendy. But the truth is that everything goes when it comes names, and there are all sorts of styles and strategies to describe our approaches to naming children.
This week, Appellation Mountain's Abby Sandel finds inspiration for the Nameberry 9 from celebrity birth announcements and TV listings.
I know it has been a busy week in baby name news when my friend C makes a point of seeking me out. "So what are they going to name the baby?" she asked, knowing that she didn't have to add that "they" are William and Kate and the baby in question will be hounded by more paparazzi than a Jolie-Pitt kid.
Then again, bookies couldn't take bets on the name of a new Jolie-Pitt arrival. Where would a gambler begin? We know the royal couple is up against some definite limits in choosing their child's name, creating a perfect opportunity for the placing of bets, a scenario that couldn't exist in Hollywood.
What separates name nerds from others might be this: I am filled with curiosity whenever I meet an expectant parent. "Have you thought about names?" I'll mention, casually, trying to not make it too obvious. Aidan Donnelly Rowley's post congratulating Kate struck a chord. It doesn't really matter if I know you – I'm excited for that new little person you're about to welcome, and very willing to help if you'd like to talk names.
Today being National Aunts and Uncles Day (who knew, right?), here's a shout-out to some of the most memorable aunts in both literature and pop culture– the sweet and the sour, the doting and the demanding, the over-indulgent and the overbearing—with, in literature at least, the unfortunate majority being the more domineering.
Especially in Victorian literature, with its plethora of poor orphans, aunts would often step in as surrogate moms. Unfortunately, some of the more notable ones are known to us by their surnames only.
Here are some of the most memorable, from sources as varied as from novels to comics.

Campground and ranger station: The only place to stay in the park

Snow Canyon State Park Campground: Camping within Snow Canyon State Park
The Snow Canyon State Park Campground is open all year, and has 14 RV sites with water and electricity, 8 RV or tent, and 7 tent only sites. There is a 35 foot limit on RV size. Picnic tables, showers, and a fixed dump station are available. One thing that I found surprising, is that a maximum stay of only 5 days per month are allowed. Many of the sites are reservable, and one may reserve up to 11 months ahead of time.
Located within the beautiful state park, the paved Whiptail Trail, a great place to ride your bike, or take a walk is easily accessed from the campground.

Red Mountain Spa: Red Mountain Spa
Red Mountain Spa is a hiking and firness resort located just outside Snow Canyon State Park. The spa has hiking programs into snow canyon, some fitness programs and the spa.
A combination hiking and fitness spa. Guided hiking is offered in the mornings. There are afternoon fitness classes, private personal training sessions, a pool and a spa. Red Mountain is all inclusive so spa meals are provided along with the package.
The rates are pretty good, for a destination spa. Especially in the summer, but its unbelievably hot that time of year. In addition to the hiking trips, there are separate excursions to Bryce and Zion National Parks and chances to get away from the spa and see more of Utah.

Snowbird Conference Center and Resort
This resort is the hot spot in the winter for skiing and a great place for summer get aways as well. I personally went in the summer but like I said before there was still snow and it was chilly. There is great hiking around the resort as well as bike paths. There are also places to have camp fires and even a mountain climbing wall that everyone was eager to attempt. The hotel itself has the feeling of a true ski lodge. There is a full gym and spa as well as plenty of restraurants within the hotel (I'm sure for those nights when everyone is snowed it).

When I was first in Germany, in 1982, the greens had an anti-nuclear bumper sticker you saw a lot, "Atomkraft- Nein Danke"
After the Icelandic economy crashed and some people suggested Iceland should give up the krona and join the Eurozone, someone put up a billboard outside Hafnafjördur with a picture of the Icelandic flag, the Euro symbol and the words "Nei, takk." In 2008 I thought it was hilarious to consider that the Euro was the new nuke. In 2011 it just seems prophetic.

I ordered some siberian iris bulbs and I'm hoping someone could post some pictures of a single plant showing the whole plant so I have a better understanding of their size and shape. If anyone has Butter and Sugar pics that would be even better.
Most of the photos I've come across online are either closeups of the blooms or I can't tell if it's a single plant or multiples. I found this one posted by harryshoe on another thread but not sure if it's a single plant or not. Can anyone confirm or post their own pics? |

No this is not a single plant, this is a well-developed clump. It takes several years to get to this size. A single plant will look like one of those fans of leaves emerging from the ground. Sorry I don't have any photos- they won't grow here. Renee |

Thanks Renee. It looks to me like there might be 3 of them in a triangle type planting. One in the front, two in the back. Does that sound about right? |

I'm sorry to disagree but a "well-developed clump" of Siberian iris most certainly can be a single plant. And very often is. Unlike the beardeds or bulbous iris species, Sibes do not have bulb/rhizomes/tubers but grow from a dense, flat, fleshy root system, much the same as do daylilies. In fact their growth habit is much more like daylilies than it is bearded iris. Usually they are sold as started plants - a cluster of leaves emerging from this root system. Or sometimes bare root, which I don't recommend. If you Google siberian iris images, you should see multiple views of mature plants. Again, these are most often a single plant that has matured sufficiently to spread into a good size clump. Unless you are planning on a large sweep of the Sibes in your garden, a single start is generally adequate. It's OK to plant multiple starts together but just hastens crowding and the need to divide the clump sooner rather than later. And dividing an established clump of Sibes is nothing like digging and dividing bearded iris - it is hard, heavy work. |

Gee, I keep forgetting to hit submit. Gardengal, that picture you posted was one of the ones I saw. I wasn't sure if it was one plant or multiple. Thanks for the clarification. |
I do not agree with gardengal at all. My garden is filled with Sibirian Irises, and each clump consists of hundreds of rhizomes. They are just smaller than with bearded irises. You can divide the whole clump into single rhizomes, but it is said they transplant better when there are several together. |

I know that when New York Rita bought Siberians from Joe Pye Weed they were small and took several years to grow into clumps. You could ask over on the Facebook SIGNA page if anyone has first-year photos of siberians. |
This is funny, but I'm going to disagree/ agree with all of you. Here's what I get from a well grown first year plant. I call it this, planted in the fall, and here's what it looks like in the spring when it blooms. I consider it one plant, but it's comprised of many rhizomes. And they are rhizomes, not bulbs or anything else. The iris you have shown could very well have been a single plant to begin with, or could have been a few plants. It's hard to tell at this point. But I highly recommend buying bareroot. That's really the only way to get a variety. |

That's a nice photo, Polly! I wish I could grow them. Renee |
I'm late on this one! Worse yet, I can't even add a decent answer. That SI (Caesar's Brother) was my first and it began in a pot purchased from a local nursery. I believe this picture was year 3. This is a SI planted 3 years ago which came as a bare root from Joe Pye Weed's Garden. I'm pretty sure it is a single plant. |

It's beautiful, as usual, Harry. Love that touch of blue in the standards. Renee |

What It Means When the Mall Goes Away
The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that 1.015 million teens aged 16 to 19 found jobs in May and June, down 2.1% from last year. Though the number of unemployed teens of that age shrank from 1.86 million in June 2012 to 1.4 million this June, the number holding down a job also shrank from 5.2 million to 4.5 million during that span. That's a lot of teens who just jumped out of the workforce entirely, reducing the participation rate from 41% of all workers aged 16 through 19 last June to just 35% this year.
"One of the biggest obstacles teenagers face in today's job market is the fact that there is more competition from older job-seekers, such as recent college graduates as well as retirees," says John Challenger, chief executive of outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. "Another trend ... is the decline of the American mall, which has long been a traditional employer of teenaged summer job-seekers. As more and more Americans flock to the Internet for their shopping needs, traditional brick and mortar stores are seeing traffic decline along with the need for extra summer employees."
Less expendable income and fewer friends working at the mall means overall less motivation to hang out in a place that just wants teens' money. According to a 2009 survey by market research firm Scarborough, 61% of teens say they have less money to spend at the mall, and 37% say they're going to the mall less often. While 40% of teens spend between two and three hours at the mall in any given 30-day period, 32% are spending far less time than that in the halls of commerce. When they're at the mall, less than half of all teens say they're there to socialize or be entertained. When asked what they do there most often, 71% gave the obvious but fairly straightforward answer of "shop."
While 93% still eat at the mall and 93% still do so at the food court, they're not there for any longer than they have to be. They're using coupons, and the average shopper tops out at $75. They're discovering what their parents in the outlet malls already learned: Post-recession summer shopping is less of a recreational activity and more of a chore. All the frivolous music and video games have gone online, and all the fun and any movie theaters at the malls are just squeezing shoppers dry. No amount of Jamba Juice or Auntie Anne's pretzels can make up for the fact that the kids at the food court are the same ones you see every day on Twitter and Instagram anyway.
The epicenter of teen culture has moved from hulking commercial hallways in the suburbs to whatever mobile device their sought-after shoppers slip into their pockets. All that remains are dead or dying malls, the mixed-use "town center" retail projects built on their remains and older folks' fading celluloid memories of misspent youth and money. -- Written by Jason Notte in Portland, Ore.>To contact the writer of this article, click here: Jason Notte. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/notteham. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.
