What is a Comprehensive Cancer Center?
What is comprehensive care?
With most illnesses in teens and children, parents can rely on their own knowledge and skills, or those of the child's doctor, for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. But cancer requires the help of a team of specialists trained to deal with different types of cancer and many types of treatment. Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, bone marrow or stem cell transplant, and immunotherapy. Treating childhood cancer often means consulting with more medical specialists if any problems come up. Other specialists can also help patients and family members with the social, emotional, educational, and spiritual issues that are part of childhood cancer.
Comprehensive care is an approach that cares for the whole patient and all his or her needs, not just the medical and physical ones. Comprehensive care – using the services of many professionals working together – is the standard approach at all major medical centers that treat young people with cancer. The key aspects of well-designed comprehensive care are:
- State-of-the-art medical diagnosis and treatment, including the chance to take part in clinical trials
- A team of professionals who are experts in treating childhood cancer
- A wide range of services for patients and families, including education, counseling, support groups, advocacy, and other special programs to help improve the quality of life of patients and their families
- Resources to help meet basic needs, such as meals, a place to stay during treatment, and transportation
- Patient and family education programs with up-to-date materials (written, audio, DVD, or computer programs)
- School programs, including contact with classroom teachers, teachers who work with homebound or hospitalized students, and help with going back to the student's neighborhood school
- Organized efforts to help patients cope with treatment, tests, and procedures
- Advocacy programs to help with families' financial concerns about treatment and related costs
- Consultation with community health care professionals (those near the child's home)
- Patient-friendly and family-friendly facilities
- Ongoing research that looks at and evaluates the results of all treatments and services

Can users of this model please post issues you are having with this modem.
1. Wireless continuoulsy works on and off. I had a new Cisco/Linksys device and this never happened until I placed this new all in one device in. This is why Infinity should provide you with the basic network connectivity device. They try to take over your entire network and it ends up causing everyone headeaches.

That device has a warning from Comcast as per the link below, I am not sure if it could be related though.
Ditch it or have them put it in to bridge mode so that it acts as a straight cable modem with voice support and use your own high quality wireless router with it.
I have this modem with voice, tv and internet. Now my aol software won't work at all and certain websites are blocked. I don't know what else is blocked. My firewall (Norton from comcast) isn't blocking anything but the modem does. I know this because I can use the aol software at my sons house and he has comcast cable. What can I do to remedy this?
Same drill.
3 weeks ago I talked to an online tech and asked for the Arris modem to be put in bridge mode so I could use my own router. Nothing changed. I still can't use aol software, facetime, Roblox and I just found out that Pando won't connect.
I have worked on trying to fix this for 7 months now, every day and I'm am so frustrated.
I installed a Comcast Arris modem a few days ago, no problems yet. One thing I noticed was that the built-in firewall has three levels of security. You might try the minimum level and see if that helps. I don't know if you can set or disable specific firewall rules.
I had comcast bridge my arris so it would act as a modem instead of a gateway because I have my own linksys connection. I thought I'd be able to use AOL Software, Facetime, Pando and who knows what else that isn't working. I used those products daily until we got xfinity. Now I've had to quit everything I did because they won't work. So basically, I've changed my whole lifestyle for it. No more aol, (I HATE aol webmail), no more digital scrapbooking, and no more video chatting with a daughter and granddaughter out of state. I certainly wish I had something else besides this arris for phone, tv and internet. Can someone please help?????
Well, the other thought I had is to set up one of your computers as a DMZ through the modem firewall. Make sure the firewall on the PC is enabled, and try to turn off other devices on your network. Login to the modem and enable the DMZ. This should tell you whether the modem is filtering out the services you are concerned about.
I am having the same issue... iOS devices don't fully work because of this new modem/router I received three weeks ago. The all in one I had prior which was an Arris, not sure of the model number worked perfecttly...now this new one is not even worth having
I filled out the form to request a replacement modem, and two weeks later have heard nothing back. I called support, and received none. So a few days ago I called the bill department and told them I was no longer paying any bills since their modem is faulty and no replacement is forthcoming. Within ten minutes I was on the phone with a very good support supervisor who ordered me the new modem (waiving the $20 fee Comcast charges to overcome THEIR mistake). The modem arrived yesterday and it fixes all wireless issues, including connectivity and internet access for Apple mobile devices. The modem Comcast sent is the SMC D3GNV. So far so good. By coincidence, this morning I received the order acknowledgement for a replacement modem, in response to my filling out an online form weeks ago, telling me it will arrive in 4-6 weeks.
They kept bugging me to agree to use this modem. Did the install yesterday, and spent HOURS on the phone with their techs trying to troubleshoot. My service is slower, and connections time out. Total nightmare.

5 Ingredients: Cucumber Salad
by Toby Amidor in 5-Ingredient Recipes, July 2, 2009
After I made this dish last week, my 4-year old daughter requested "crunchy cucumbers" at every meal. Serve this light salad at this weekend's July 4th cookout or bring it along on a summer picnic.
15 Persian or Kirby cucumbers, thinly sliced (peeling optional)
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
Ground black pepper, to taste
4 sprigs dill, chopped
1) Persian cucumbers
These small cucumbers, similar to Kirby, work great in salads and don't have many seeds. I like to keep the skin on to up the fiber (just wash the outside well); it also gives the dish a gorgeous green color. Cucumbers are an excellent source of vitamin K and a good source of the antioxidant vitamin C.
Lay cucumbers flat on a cookie tray lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and let stand 1 hour. Squeeze one handful of cucumbers at a time and place squeezed cucumbers in medium bowl; discard squeezed juice.
2) Red Onion
Onion adds sharpness to the flavor mix, and the purplish onion color complements the green cucumbers. Onions are an excellent source of the antioxidant vitamin C and a good source of vitamin B-6.
3) Red Bell Pepper
The pepper give this dish sweetness and additional crunch. Did you know a red pepper has more vitamin C than an orange? It does, and the addition helps make this cucumber salad a vitamin C powerhouse!
Add peppers and onion to the cucumber bowl. Set aside.
4) Rice Vinegar
Rice vinegar is slightly milder than other vinegars and adds tangy flavor with few calories. You can find rice vinegar at your local grocery store or Asian market.
In a small bowl, slowly whisk oil into vinegar. Add pepper and whisk until evenly mixed. Pour vinegar mixture over cucumbers and stir to combine.
5) Dill
This herb works well with vinegar and is commonly used when brining dill pickles. Just a touch gives the dish a distinctly delicious freshness. Plus, it ups the antioxidants with vitamins A and C.
Sprinkle salad with dill. Refrigerate and serve cold.

5 Ingredients: Wheat Berry Burgers

Came onto this recepe by accident while "surfing". I was born in Belgium and this cucumber salad has been around a long time with many varietions! I make it for all our cookouts, and, each time a little different. The one our kids(all raised by now) like the best is when I slice the cukes with ridges on the mandolin. Same for the red onion. I then add thin strips of red and yellow pepper. Serve with my "asian" dressing of ginger, soy sauce, olive oil, rice vinegar and black peper.
I have also made this salad with cucumbers, red onion and julienne jicama (when I can get it at the grocery store!).
The grandkids like the cucumbers cut into thin strips with an avocado ranch dressing. always -
I don't quite get something? Squeeze the cucumbers like a sponge??
squeezing removes the excess water that the salt brings out
The recipe seems high in sodium for those watching their salt intake. Anyone made it without the salt or with less?
1 T of salt for 8 servings is not much at all. Also when you squeeze the cucumbers to remove the extra liquid a lot of that salt is dripping right off again.
I am not a fan of onion so I made this with tomatoes and lightly sauteed zucchini & summer squash. YUM!
An easy way to modify this into a common Persian (Shirazi) cucumber salad served with most meals in Iran is to substitute fresh mint for the dill, tomatoes for the red bell pepper, and lime juice for the vinegar. This is a stable at my house.
staple not stable
meant to say staple, not stable
have not tried it yet, but i plan on trying it
add fresh mozzarella cheese ….yummmy!!!!! Vicki
add fresh mozzarella cheese also…yummmy!

Virtualization, or virtual machines, are very cool. For those that don't know what I mean, here is a quick run down: Virtualization technology allows a user to "run an OS in an OS"; in other words, for example, you can have Windows XP 32-bit installed on your computer and run a virtualized version of Windows Vista 64-bit on top of that. The virtualized Windows Vista acts just like if it was installed on your physical machine. However you really didn't install Windows Vista; you virtualized it and are running it in Windows XP just like you run any other program. Admittedly virtualization does require a fairly powerful PC (to give you a general idea, think of it as running two OSes on your computer at once) or else you will experience huge amounts of lag, but virtualization technology is one of those things that are just awesome.
Now to create a virtual machine, you need virtualization software. The three most popular ones out there VMware, VirtualBox, and Microsoft Virtual PC. VMware is more of a commercial product (although there are some server editions you can get for free), while VirtualBox and Microsoft Virtual PC are completely free. My favorite one has always been VirtualBox because it is open source, so available to all users, and is cross platform (works on Windows, Mac, and Linux).
That being said, being able to install a new OS on top of your current OS is nice and all, but the purpose of this post is not to go into the details of virtualization. Rather I would like to inform dotTechies of an awesome, and potentially very useful, trick: turn your current OS (with all your files and program) into a virtual machine so you can easily run it (with all your files and folders) on another PC. The best part is your current OS is left untouched; rather you just create a "virtual copy" of it. Think of it as creating a backup image of your computer but instead of restoring the image, you "run" the image with your favorite virtualization software such as VirtualBox.
You can turn your current OS into a virtual machine using two different programs: VMware vCenter Converter and Disk2vhd. After you virtualize your OS, you can run it using VMware, VirtualBox, or Microsoft Virtual PC.. For the purposes of this post, I will focus on a Disk2vhd + VirtualBox combination.
…allows you to easily virtualize your whole hard disk or select partitions. It is lightweight (707 KB download), portable, and [comparatively] fast (took me just under 40 minutes to virtualize the C:\ partition you see in the above screenshot) . You simply download Disk2vhd, unzip it (no installation required), run it, select the partitions you want to virtualize, click "Create", and wait for it to finish. If you have multiple hard disks, Disk2vhd will create one VHD file for each hard disk.
The major advantage Disk2vhd has over rival create-virtual-images software is Disk2vhd takes advantage of Windows' "Volume Snapshot" feature allowing you to virtualize the OS you are currently running whereas some other software will lock you out telling you they cannot create a virtual image of any online system.
After you have created a VHD for your OS, you can run the virtual machine on any computer you want via VirtualBox (of course make sure you copy the VHD file to the computer you want to run it on). Just download and install VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine on VirtualBox like you would normally, but make sure to select the VHD for the virtual hard drive instead of creating a new virtual hard drive:
After you create the virtual machine, simply run it, and let Windows install as many drivers as it can find. After that it is up to you to find the drivers yourself.
Of course since Disk2vhd creates a VHD, you can also use Microsoft Virtual PC to run the virtual machine instead of VirtualBox (do note, though, Virtual PC has a 127 GB virtual disk size limit). The only problem is Microsoft Virtual PC is only available to people who have Windows XP Pro, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista Business or higher, Windows Server 2008, and Windows 7 Professional or higher.
Furthermore, if you have Windows XP, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7 (regardless of which edition), you can "attach" your VHD and make Windows think it is a real physical partition on your hard drive so you can boot directly from it and not have to virtualize it with VirtualBox or Virtual PC. For XP/Vista you need to download the VHD mount from Virtual Server R2 while you can do it natively in Server 08/Win7.
All in all, this "turn-your-PC-into-a-virtual-machine" is very cool and can be potentially very useful. To get started yourself, download the appropriate software from the links below:

the programme that I am interested is Scrivener, a very specific one normally used by writers, and the purpose is that I want to write some long /articles'booklets: if you know of the same functionality anf the programme is for XP it would be great -
Thanks samuel,
How about the otherway round; putting MaC OS in VM and running on Win XP: I cam acroos some you tube viedois but couldn't get the hang about putting the Mac OS in a VM .
Could you give me some guidance, I need to run an application which is available only for MAC: and how to create an iso of MAC OS running on mac-laptop . -
I was searching as to how to craete a virtual machine and this gives me an insght aboutthe actual details,
I have one question, ashraf, and it is unusual, can I create a virtual on of a Mac and than run it on XP pro, is it possible ? -
RE: Booting into the virtual drive.
Are there any instructions around regarding what would have to be added to the BOOT.INI in order for Virtualization software to mount the virtual drive and boot from it?
I'm planning on trying this with the vhdmount component of the Virtual Server 2005 R2 (ala http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/3595/windows-xpvista-how-to-attach-a-vhd-file/), but am uncertain how to proceed.
Or, is this idea of booting from a virtual drive something that someone's heard about, but nobody has successfully accomplished?
BTW, Ashraf, thanks for the excellent help, and the thorough analysis you often give for the GiveAwayOfTheDay offerings. I may not download the offerings, but I always check what you have to say, if for no reason other than to see what freeware options are out there that are comparable.
Pssssttt … Ashraf, are you there? Help, please?
Unfortunately the copy of my entire HD in the format VHD made with disk2vhd was considered as … no bootable by virtual box :( … any sugestions?
I have been awaiting the latest release of Ubuntu, which I will use as a host for VirtualBox, and then run XP virtually.
If anyone is interested, here is a detailed 'How To' –
http://apcmag.com/how_to_virtualize_xp_on_ubuntu.htmAnd I just tripped over this –
which I have not checked out yet -
Thank you so much for the article. I've been interested in virtualization for quite awhile but had thought that expensive VMware was my only option!
Virtual Box here I come. Yahoo!
Bill Gates II,
Thanks for nice detailed answers.
Much appreciated,

@KillNoise: Sorry for the imcomplete info last time, my mind was else where at the time. To get you more details about the Graphics card I used DirectX Diagnosics, and got this:
Card name: Virtual PC Integration Components S3 Trio32/64
Manufacturer: Microsoft
Chip type: S3 732
DAC type: S3As to the chip set, its a 440BX (based on "Intel 82443BX Pentium(R) II Processor to PCI Bridge" from the DirectX Diagnostics)
Hope this helps!
Which chipset does it show ? (AIDA32 or Everest system diagnosis will provide detailed information)
I know some VM commonly use i440BX (old Pentium II) or i810 (Pentium III) platform.
There may be large differences regarding DirectX (3D) & OpenGL support:
Many Windows XP supplied drivers are stripped down to provide only basic support, so DirectX & OpenGL are supported only via slow SW emulation (e.g. "Microsoft OpenGL 1.1″) until you install the full featured video drivers with HW accelleration provided by manufacturer.There are two ways to achieve HW accelleration:
a) Find HW accellerated drivers to install for the emulated HW model
(here S3 Trio32/64 – with very limited accelleration features)
b) VM-system may provide VM-Tools including its own matched video driver, which should emulate DirectX/OpenGL calls by passing them to accellerated Host system drivers if available.I know the latter method is used by Paralles VM-Tools for PC on Mac virtualization (commercial), by installing its proprietary emulation drivers inside the Windows XP VM to provide some DirectX accelleration support (using Mac GPU functions).
Similiarly, MS Virtual PC might easily provide DirectX acceleration functions inside VM as available on the Host system, which is allways Windows/DirectX based.
More difficult for Virtual Box, designed to run on any (including non Windows) host system. Maybe abstract pass-through is possible at least for OpenGL, available on most platforms (rather than for DirectX).
@ Ashraf: What do you know about implementation in Virtual Box ?
Bill Gates II
@KillNoise: The HW is different from platform to platform though not radically so. I can give you the specs for Windows Virtual PC right now; I don't have the others on this machine.
Windows Virtual PC (via Windows XP Mode Machine)
System Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
System Model: Virtual Machine
System Type: X86-based PC
Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~2154 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 080002, 8/14/2009
SMBIOS Version: 2.3
Sound Device: Sound Blaster 16 or AWE32 or compatible (WDM)
Display: Virtual PC Integration Components S3 Trio32/64As to which has better driver support, none is really better than any other since all their hardware emulations use drives that come with OSes.
So what is the HW (chipset, video, audio etc) you actually see (e.g. when using WinAudit or Everest) from within virtual machine ?
HW equipment like VGA, 3D accellerator, OpenGL & DirectX support might be quite different depending on VM platform used (MS Virtual PC, VirtualBox, VM-Ware or Parallels VM)!
Which one provides best driver support & compatibility ?
Could anyone share WinAudit report summary from a running VM-System to make things clear & for feature comparison, please ? -
Bill Gates II
I'm going to try and answer some of the questions here:
@bob: First off the hardware that a VM sees is not the same as your real machines hardware, for the most part. HDD, Graphics, Sound, Keyboard, Mouse, Network, and more our emulators, so they only need very basic drivers that come with windows (that is why Aero in VMs don't work be default). And two answer your second question, a VM can print, if the real machine could (ie, it is either plugged in to the real machine via USB or the printer is networked) and it gets whatever networking abilities the real machine has.
@Rob: Virtualizing XP on Linux can be done, but you would need a Virtualized that works on Linux (don't know of one, all my Linux machines are virtual). The OS drive is still C by default. As to problems, most are related to the emulation I talked about before, like no Aero on Vista or 7 VMs, Games also can have some problems as the graphics card the is emulated cannot do too much fancy stuff, so any game that was made pre XP will work, for XP maybe, after XP start praying. transferring from and to the VM depends on the Virtual Software, but in general they have the ability to attach drives and/or folders as network attached drives as well as sharing the clipboard so you can just copy and past files between them. A VM acts just like a real machine, so yes it saves all you settings and activities including recent programs and files.
Randy Lawrence: It can be pretty big, and depending on the setting you gave it can even be as big as the drive you just copied. You could split the file and burn it to many many….many CDs but a better way would be to get an external Hard drive and use that.
KillNoise: You understand the problem but not the cause. Yes VMs don't work well with DirectX and such, but that is because the VM has an emulator for its graphics card. It does not get you machines real one. See my replies above for more.
bladerunner: Yes what you are describing is a perfect scenario for a VM. All you would have to do is set up a VM that can access all those types of stuff (so like no blocking Flash). Then just have him do is homework on the VM, you can even make it full screen so it is like working on the real machine. Then when he's done, just close the VM, and anything that is on the VM stays on the VM with no effect on your machine.
Ok, thats everyone since Ashraf last replied.
quick question:
Ashraf wrote:
fter you create the virtual machine, simply run it, and let Windows install as many drivers as it can find. After that it is up to you to find the drivers yourself.Do you really need to look for aditional drivers since you will be using the drivers from an already working os?
FOr example, lets say I am using sofware on xp that only works on xp and not vista.
I buy a new computer that has vista 64 bit.
Now, if i create a virtual image of my xp computer, can't I just launch that image on vista using virtual box or d I have to look for drivers?
cuz, right now, it is impossible to find drivers for XP on computers which have Vista.
Also, in the above scenario, will I be ableto print and have access to wireless from within the virtual environment?
THanks! -
Hi Ashraf,
I didn't download the recent Paragon offering for a couple of reasons –
a) I feel they may be in the early stages of getting it right (?)
b) Some posters on the GOTD site, say it is not for the faint(Lite) hearted.I have loaded your other two articles into Tabs, which I will study in full a bit later.
However your answer to these questions may save me from researching further –
1) My PC's are 5 years old, and only have 1GB of ram.
I am pretty sure XP within XP will be asking too much.
Can one load a version of linux (that has low resource demands) into a partition.
And then use that as a host for the VM stuff (an XP Virtualized OS) ?
That way I avoid the demands of two XP's running (one within the other)
2) When within a VO (Virtualized OS), is the main drive still called "C" ?
3) Are there any problems when running the virtualized OS ?
EG Somethings don't work, or don't work as we would expect ?
4) Can you easily transfer files in/out of the VO ?
5) When exiting the VO, can you save all the recent activity (Pgms installed, etc) ?
Does that become another VO, or update the one you loaded in ?I apologize for my laziness, but I feel I would have to do a lot of research to work out those answers myself.
Rob -
Randy Lawrence
Something I'm not getting. How do you get the virtual hard drive on to another computer system? i imagine the virtualized hard drive file must be a pretty big file.
where i am going with this is that I am getting a new computer in a few months and if I virtualize my current system how do I get it to my new system once I have Microsoft Virtual PC installed?– as you can tell I am a complete novice at this.
Sounds good.
However, i also heard of issues regarding compatibility of DirectX, video grafic adapter and other HW devices from within virtual machines (e.g. guest OS might see only simple VGA, unable to access any 3D acceleration features).
So games, multimedia etc. might not be supposed to work properly within virtual copy ?
Different support for Virtual Box / MS Virtual PC / VMWare ?
Any experiences ? -
Thanks so much for this posting, Ashraf. I have long wanted to try out virtualisation but have been too afraid to try it out lest disaster reign down (wouldn't be the first time – my staff are reluctant to let me near their comps!). But I feel confident that I can tackle it now. So thanks again! You're a wonder, you know!
Wow, what a coincidence that you wrote this post, and then Paragon brings their virtualization offering out to GAOTD right afterwards. Can we spell "synchronicity", lol??
I was excited to see who the developer of Disk2vhd was. Although it would be stretching the truth more than just a little to consider myself a real "techie", somehow I've managed to become a little familiar with a (small) bit of Mark Russinovich's work. If there was anyone in the IT field that I might think of as a "personal hero", I think it would be him. If awards were given out for the person who has created the most useful utilities, his name would definitely be right up there at the top. I always have his task manager replacement "Process Explorer" running (in ADDITION to AnVir Task Manager, if you can believe that redundancy – just because there's a couple things that Process Explorer lets me do that the "free" GAOTD version of Anvir doesn't), and there are so many other tools that he has created that are just so helpful in understanding what is going on "under the hood" of these beasts. The videos he's made available explaining usage of his tools are neat also, and show him not to be the egomaniac that someone with his skills could easily become, which is way cool too, in my book.
Finding his Disk2vhd (and Paragon's offering as well)is giving me a very warm fuzzy feeling about recovering from possible collapse of my increasingly ancient PC. How cool, to know that I can just "bottle up my system" with the knowledge that if a hardware disaster completely clobbers my system, I can just trot over to another functioning PC with my copy of my virtualized system and continue on where I left off. Awesome….
Thanks for bringing this program to our attention. Two thumbs wayyyy up…
G'day Ashraf,
WOW — so many THANKS are due you for the many helpful evaluations
of GAOTD daily and myriad other FREEWARE !!Can I ask for some hints ?? If so, I have a good friend who needs
to do college HOMEWORK on my Vista SP1 PC. Of course, this requires
being OPEN to multiple first & third party cookies and scripts and redirects — and using FLASH !! There is NOTHING Adobe allowed on my PC anymore. I use HIPS, script blockers, adblockers, etc.So, I use Returnil and load all that stuff for her — it is intensive
preparation for the first 1/2-hour.Is there a way to save that system state — Adobe reader and FLASH
installed and OPEN to ALL cookies and scripts — and run it as a
virtual machine, so it is easy for her to use my computer ??You cannot save things permanently while Returnil protection is on.
I thought of installing it as a separate OS, but that would still allow all the changes to my real system hard drive.Is there a way other than having a separate PC for that crap ??
THANKS for your trouble here — I need your knowledge … -
Hey there Ash :D
I got something in the mail, regarding the XP «to» 7 transfer, w a Promo offer.
Dunno if its good, if it does what its suppose to.
But since we are talking about the headache that's coming … might as well see if dotTechies can use it too.Going to send it to you via eMail – that's ok, right?
Maybe you could look into it & see if its useful.Peace
Apologies, my question was stupid of course (lol…it was not so late yet!)
Terrible article again!
If I understand correctly, it is possible through this process to use the PC of someone else and thus to use (temporarily of course !) applications registered by others (this is not legal … i know)?
Can one of those apps directly burn the vhd file ?
In any case thank you for this valuable information.
Bill Gates II
@Ashraf, just wanted to let you know that native VHD booting can only be done from Windows 7 or Server 08 R2. Vista I'm sure cannot. Server 08 might, I could be wrong.
David Roper
Just when I am thinking I am smart and all that, you go make a report like this.
(head still spinning…)
Whew! At first i thought I was going to install this on my old XP laptop, create a virtual copy of it and enjoy using it a few days.
Then I wanted to take a new WIN 7 laptop out of the box, install someting, copy this "BUBBLE" of my old XP over to it (using a file copy program like XXCopy, etc)
Then I would have my XP running on a new laptop (with WIN7 installed) and one day I could feel brave and drop my XP "BUBBLE" altogether.
(head explodes and gives up)
I love computers…I love computers…I love computers…I love computers…I love computers…I love computers…I love computers…
Hello Ash :D
Hey you, are you spying on me or what??? 8)
Starting to get worried … :twisted:
This is what I've been looking into the past few days!Been trying to figure out if we should upgrade XP to 7, install 7 on a new HD, buy a new PC w 7 pre-installed, etc, etc, …
It'll be difficult to upgrade as MS gives ««NO SUPPORT»» for XP to 7 upgrades (which I think is the majority, seeing the low adoption rate Vista had!!!) Just guessing A LOT of ppl are going to have muchos problémas & lose a lot of data (!)
MS is allowing 'XPMode' for 7Pro & Ultimate *ONLY*
Maybe you could write something about all this prior to October 22, b4 ppl start going crazy w their upgrades … If you have time, of course ;)
As always, instead of facilitating the upgrade, they are making it confusing & complicated!!! *sigh*So anyhoo, this article of yours is just fan*tas*tik!!!
I was thinking of Virtualization as a possibility, but had no idea how/what & was a bit apprehensive embarking on such an adventure!
Think I'm feeling a little bit less afraid :DBig Thanks
PeacePS: My other posts are still blocked!! *sniffff*

Is there a way to virtualize MS-DOS for Vista-64? I still have a handful of good programs written for DOS.
Happy Dae·

Does it suPport Parallels VM?
Just a note about Virtual PC – it can run on any version of Windows XP (does not have to be Pro), same thing with Vista.
I saw this disk2vhd tool yesterday when checking out the sysinternals website. Was astounded at how small it is – 800k. While most other software needs to install megabytes of stuff and services.

Omaha Indian Sociology
Posted By Dennis On In Native American,Nebraska | No Comments
Discover your
family's story.
Enter a grandparent's name to get started.
The real name of the Omahas is "Umanhan." It is explained by a tradition obtained from a few members of the tribe. When the ancestors of the Omahas, Ponkas, Osages, and several other cognate tribes traveled down the Ohio to its mouth, they separated on reaching the Mississippi. Some went up the river, hence the name Umanhan, from kimanhan, "to go against the wind or stream." The rest went down the river, hence the name Ugáqpa or Kwápa, from ugáqpa or ugáha, "to float down the stream."
The tribes that went up the Mississippi were the Omahas, Ponkas, Osages, and Kansas. Some of the Omahas remember a tradition that their ancestors once dwelt at the place where Saint Louis now stands; and the Osages and Kansas say that they were all one people, inhabiting an extensive peninsula, on the Missouri River.

Moto Jackets
Motorcycle jackets have become ubiquitous enough to earn themselves a cute nick-name, but they haven't lost an ounce of coolness. In fact, this season's versions, with thier intricate networks of zippers, are as badass as ever. But fresh colors and feminine touches have elevated them to special occasion status. HOW TO WORK ITThe look is more deliberate than in the past: Instead of tossing a moto jacket over a silky dress or throwing one on with something casual like denim, many designers paired them with coordinating bottoms (often made of leather) for a dressier feel. While the vibe was hardly buttoned-up, the jackets worn zipped, functioning more as a top. Choose one with contrasting sleeves-a big trend-and mix it with luxurious fabrics like brocade or velvet for an exotic flavor. Photos: (left to right) Etro, Versace, Givenchy, Kenzo

SIP Logs
Note: Debug logging settings require significant CPU usage, please only use debug logging settings during maintenance windows or low call traffic periods for troubleshooting purposes.
The sipmsg.log is most often used to troubleshoot SIP call flow issues. Logs all SIP messages that pass through the SBC, so this requires significant CPU resources (typically adds about 10-20% CPU):
To enable: notify sipd siplog
To disable: notify sipd nosiplog
SIP debug logs are also required when troubleshooting SIP call flow problems. The following command enables a subset of the full logging behavior of sipd on the Session Director:
To enable: notify sipd debug
To disable: notify sipd nodebug
Full debug logs are generated using the following:
To enable: log-level sipd debug
To disable: log-level sipd notice
The log file generated in both these cases is log.sipd.
H.323 Logs
The log.h323d is most often used to troubleshoot H.323 call flow issues:
To enable: log-level h323d debug
To disable: log-level h323d notice
The log file generated is log.h323d.
If there is not a lot of traffic on the SD and CPU utilization is low you can enable more verbose logging.
To enable: notify h323d debug
To disable: notify h323d nodebug
The log file generated is log.h323d.
MGCP Logs
The alg.log and log.algd are used for troubleshooting MGCP problems:
To enable: notify algd log
To disable: notify algd nolog
The log file generated is alg.log.
To enable: log-level algd debug
To disable: log-level algd notice
The log file generated is log.algd.
MBCD Logs
The mcbd.log and log.mbcd are used for troubleshooting MBCD problems:
To enable: notify mbcd log
To disable: notify mbcd nolog
The log file generated is mbcd.log.
To enable: log-level mbcd debug
To disable: log-level mbcd notice
The log file generated is log.mbcd.
I find that I have to scroll/move all the way to the end of sipmsg.log to look at the most recent test call info.
Is there a way to clear/delete/reset sipmsg.log?
Ideally I would reset the file, run my test, and then know that the contents of that log are only related to my test call?
(I'm in a lab environment where I know that I'm the only one making calls).

You can use the command "notify <task_name> rotate-logs" to rotate the log files so that you have a clean capture of the data you require. For sip the task_name is sipd so the command becomes "notify sipd rotate-logs".
This commands renames sipmg.log to sipmsg.log.1 and creates a new empty sipmsg.log. Any existing sipmsg.log.1 is moved to sipmsg.log.2 and so on.
A small typo in the above advice, it should read "notify sipd rotate-logs". Also note that you can use "all" instead of a task name to have the NOTIFY sent to all listening tasks. (E.g., "notify all rotate-logs")
Whoops, thanks Peetee. I've corrected my orginal post now.
On the D series there are the commands
clear log <task> [logfile|all] - which purges all rotated logs except the current one being written to
reset log <task> [logfile|all] - which rolls over the current log file and starts a new one
I usually do a reset log *@*, followed by clear log *@*, then make my call and collect the log files in order to make everything fresh.
How could I enable TCP debug?
I think the process for TCP is "atcpd" so you should be able to do "log-level atcpd debug" and the files should be log.atcpd.X
Also, I think I have used another log, atcpd.log that can be started by doing a "notify atcpd atcpdlog" and stopped by doing a "notify atcpd noatcpdlog" but I don't recall what the difference is in data between log.atcpd and atcpd.log.
Give it a try and see if you capture what you are looking for. If you need some serious help with troubleshooting a TCP issue or interpreting the logs opening a ticket in the Support Portal may be your fastest path to resolution.
Is there a quick way to search a log file (like sipmsg.log) without pulling it from the box and reviewing in a text editor? I'm thinking of something like a 'grep', 'pipe' or equivalent.
I'm porting lots of DIDs from other carriers onto a new SIP trunking service, and we want to easily just read a log file, preferably on the box through CLI, to verify that we're receiving the Invites for that particular DID from the carrier.
An example might be "show logfile sipmsg.log | inc 6505551234" or similar.
Until now we've been pumping the traffic out via packet-capture to a remote Wireshark destination, which allows us to see the live incoming messages, but this is limited to just one person (one packet capture destination). I'd like multiple engineers on a box to be able to see the same info, preferably by querying the same log file.
01-04-2013 11:30 PM - edited 01-04-2013 11:36 PM
Some of our latest Enterprise Edition software contains some onboard browser-based troubleshooting that might be similar to what you are asking for, but we don't have grep or similar commands available in the CLI. On the new 6300 I think you can actually do an onboard packet trace and use standard capture filters (I can't wait to try that out myself!). The best bet for the majority of existing systems might be to simply set up off-box logging and then you can send the logs to a LINUX/UNIX system and grep away at the files. I have at least one customer who is using off-box logging then importing the files into a database so they can retrieve information via database searches. Does that help?
You can check this thread about off-box logging:

Tyler Farr goes gold and top ten!
Congratulations to Tyler Farr and the team at Sony Music Nashville! Not only has he gotten his first-ever gold certified RIAA single with "Redneck Crazy," but it also went top ten on Mediabase this week. That's a lot of firsts in one week. His debut album "Redneck Crazy," will hit stores and iTunes on September 30th.
It's a big deal for Tyler, who said:
"This ride just keeps getting wilder. The reaction from fans on the road has been amazing. It's crazy to add a top 10 song and my first GOLD single on top of that. There was talk of moving the album street date up so fans could access the new music earlier with the Florida Georgia Line tour starting in the fall, but now that it is official, I can't wait to have the release of my first album get here even sooner."
Other recent milestones include selling out two back-to-back shows in West Virginia. The fan support from country fans has blown him away. Tyler explains:
"You know, I've been out on the road touring, and even with the great response from fans during the shows, it's hard to wrap your head around it all. You sort of put your head down and just continue putting on the best shows you can and making the best music you can. And then to hear something crazy like, 'Your single just went Top 10', 'Redneck Crazy was just certified GOLD,' is surreal."
Will you be picking up a copy of "Redneck Crazy" when it hits stores this September?

It may be hard to imagine leaving your loved one in someone else's care, but taking a break is one of the best things you can do for yourself as well as the person you're caring for. Most communities have some type of respite care available, such as:
Two-thirds of caregivers work outside of the home. Juggling work responsibilities and caregiving isn't easy, and employed caregivers experience high levels of caregiver stress. If you're in this situation, try these strategies for balancing your work and personal responsibilities:
If you're like many caregivers, you have a hard time asking for help. Unfortunately, this attitude can lead to feeling isolated, frustrated and even depressed. Rather than struggling on your own, take advantage of local resources for caregivers. To get started, contact your local Area Agency on Aging (AAA) to learn about services in your community.

. You should be able to see the default Apache page. Once you can see it, add:
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.soto
and add the following options to the apache2: -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST
{on gentoo this is found in /etc/conf.d/apache2, and looks like:
This will load the HTTPS extensions, and will hopefully set up the default HTTPS page configuration for you. Test it by going to https://localhost/
. If you see the default Apache page, then it worked.
Now we need it to send requests to the PLT server on port 8080. First, add the following module entries to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.soThen add the following directory entry to the same file (
<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://localhost:8080/$1 [P] </Directory>Test it by going to:
lynx https://localhost/servlets/examples/add.ssIf that works, we still have a security issue. Go to
. This allows you to reconfigure your system from a web browser on the local machine. Since Apache proxies the request through localhost, every request looks like it came from the local machine. We can stop this from happening. Do the following commands at the command shell on your system:
bash# ifconfig lo:2 10.200.200.200 bash# route add -host 10.200.200.200 lo:2(note, these settings will clear upon reboot. you need to add it to the networking configuration files for your system if you want it to say permanent) Now, in
, change the RewriteRule
to look like:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://10.200.200.200:8080/$1 [P]So the whole directory entry in
should now look like:
<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks SymLinksIfOwnerMatch AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://10.200.200.200:8080/$1 [P] </Directory>
ExtFilterDefine plt mode=output cmd="/usr/bin/sed 's/\\/servlets;/\\/plt-ws\\/servlets;/'"
. However this is not ideal.
collection provides an example of this - see web-status-server.ss
in particular, which links web-server-unit.ss
with ssl-tcp-unit.ss
Even if this approach is used, the above entry may still be useful in various ways, including for purposes other than proxying HTTPS. Perhaps the bulk of the topic should be moved to a more general entry about proxying the PLT web server.

Sought after by Madison Avenue, Hollywood and the international fashion scene, Stern was at the heart of the world of photography. He photographed the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Twiggy and Louis Armstrong.
One of his most famous shoots was that of Marilyn Monroe's "The Last Sitting." The three-day shoot was commissioned by Vogue in 1962, and took place just six weeks before her death.

I absolutely love this powder and am on my fourth container. The colour is a soft banana yellow, the texture finely milled. I use a kabuki blush to apply it over Colorstay Sand Beige (normal/comb) foundation, I lightly shake the powder into the lid and do several pick ups to get a nice even coverage. Lasts all day (from 6.30am - 7.00pm) on most of my face, but I do a quick touch up on my t-zone about 3pm. I don't bother with the powder puff it comes with & think it is a bit of a waste as it would not do this powder justice if it were used to apply it. I think it would not cover up red that well in its own, but definitely think the soft yellow brightens and evens the colour on my face over concealer or foundation. I can't stand pink or orange toned powders on my skin and this works perfectly for me.
This powder has a fine texture and a yellow tint. My skin is olive, so a little yellow goes a long way. That's why I mainly use it around my eyes, and near my nose (especially if it's raw from a cold) I find it adds just the right amount of correction to make my eyes look more awake, and my nose less raw. It's not an essential product, as I don't use it every day, but it works nicely, and lasts a long time. I especially love the packaging and the puff that comes with it. The container is very durable and the puff is quite soft and presses into the skin nicely.
Very disappointed with this product. I didn't find that it offered any redness coverage at all.The biggest let down was that it broke my skin out with the most awful cystic acne I've ever had it my life. I still can't wrap my head around it, it was honestly devastating. Before I pinpointed it as the cause of my breakout, I did find that it worked well as an under-eye highlight. Kind of gave that Kim K. bright-eyed look.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have combination skin with an uneven, rosy skintone so I thought that this product would solve all my problems but unfortunately it didn't.
The texture is quite nice as the powder is relatively silky, but there are better powders and I don't feel this one does what it's specifically meant to do (counteract redness). It makes no difference to my rosy areas as I feel it's too light in consistency. I don't even think it does a particularly good job of controlling shine and I notice no difference in oil control between this and other, less expensive brands of loose powder.
There are others who love this so if you're considering this product, I recommend trying it before buying it as it is expensive and I don't feel it's worth it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
To me this was a total waste of money! I was hoping I could use this instead of foundation since my main issue are red spots from post blemishes. It didn`t tone down the redness of these spots at all, not even a tiny little bit.
It did cover my red winter-nose a bit so I assume it works on big read areas like cheeks or nose but doesn`t help at all with small red spots.
For a simple loose powder it`s also overprized, Clinique also has one I think, don`t know about their prize though.
Obviously I would`t repurchase since my red spots looked exactly the same after applying.

i'm quite a fan of this powder. i have pretty clear skin with some redness in my cheeks. i'm not a huge fan of heavy foundations so i stick to light, sheer coverage ones; just a little bit to even out my skintone, then a light dusting of this powder with emphasis on my cheeks and the redness just vanishes! the finish is lovely too, it's really satiny and smooth without being overly matte, and does a good job of setting my makeup for the day. as with all powders, less (but not too 'less'!) is more. i would definitely purchase again.
I love this, I do not go a day without using it. It's perfect for everyday if I don't want to bother with the concealer/foundation/etc. I have a few issues with redness and this covers it right up! Extremely impressed

I have fair skin with red undertones. I love to use make-up and do fun and dramatic looks on weekends and special occasions ect., but for everyday use I like the more natural look and this powder has become an everyday staple. It is very sheer and light and goes on even. It tones down the red, and gives a nice, soft, slightly glowing finish. I like to use it over a tinted moisturizer. The combination makes your skin look amazing, but also look like you aren't wearing any makeup at all. I also learned that this powder works wonders on under eye circles when you use with a concealer brush. The only reason I gave this product a 4 is the packaging. It is like the Bare Minerals containers and can be messy and sometimes easy to waste.
For face, get some powder on the brush ( a big, soft face brush is best). Then swirl the brush in the lid to allow equal distribution, tap off excess. All you need is a light dusting, as a little goes a long way. At first, it may look "powdery" but let it sit for a minute or two and it settles right in and skin looks good and even
For under eye circles, use a concealer brush that is not used for cream or liquid concealers (the powder will stick). Collect powder on the brush, You will use a bit more powder then for the face, but not too much. It is easier to build up then take off. Sweep brush over areas you want to target.

major letdown. no miracles here. hell, no coverage at all. i'm super fair and tend to become very redfaced during well, everything. i bought this before i knew about MUA and girl or guy if youre reading this, don't buy this powder. it just sits at the bottom of my purse serving only as an oil coverup on my nose on hot days. benefit products IMO kind of stink.

I have to say i really dont know if I would rush out and buy this if a ran out, which i doubt will happen any time soon.
I have had this for a couple years now and overall it is a good finishing prodcut that really tones down shine, Is not overly powdery and does give a nice red neutralization.However my skin tone needs more of a luminous airbrushing effect in a finishing powder which this doesnt have.

Selena Gomez looked super hot when she stepped out with her girlfriends on July 9, but the sexy star was daringly close to have a nip slip . . . or did she? You be the judge!
Selena Gomez, 21, narrowly missed being the latest celebrity to suffer from a wardrobe malfunction when she stepped out with her girlfriends looking extremely beautiful and showing off her rumored-to-be new boobs — take that Justin Bieber!
Selena Gomez's Sexy Night Out With Friends — Showing Off New Boobs?
In a photo posted to the star's Instagram, she showed off her sexy bod in a black eyelet crop top while hanging out with her friends, Kat DeLuna and Jordan Kanegis. Selena made sure to show off her chest, which plastic surgeons agree that it looks like it's been enhanced — but is that lace lining the top or is her nipple peeking out?
You can be the judge and let us know what you think, but it definitely could be a nipple that fell out of her lacy bralet!
Update: Selena's rep says she 100% did not get a boob job.
Selena Gomez's Boob Job — Plastic Surgeons Say Yes
As we previously reported, we knew that Selena was thinking about getting a boob job due to her insecurities of not being sexy enough to keep ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber's attention.
The source told HollywoodLife.com exclusively, "She feels like she needs to be the hottest girl in the world to keep his attention. She's studied every girl that he hooked up with while they were broken up, at least the ones she knows about, and compared herself to them down to every last detail."
It seems like Selena has gone through with her plans after all and has enlarged her chest.
"It appears that Selena has had a breast augmentation. The breasts appear fuller and you can see the outline of the upper portion of the implant. They tend to sit high on the chest wall in the immediate post-operative period. My imprint from the picture is that she had the operation fairly recently," Dr. Jonathan Shifren of WAVE Plastic Surgery Center in LA told HollywoodLife.com exclusively.
Selena Gomez Calls Out Justin Bieber With Fierce Instagram Message
Clearly Selena is feeling pretty comfortable in her could-be new skin if she is willing to show this much of her new cleavage off.
We think she was flawless just the way she was, but hopefully if she did get a new boob job, she loves it and will be even more confident!
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Do you think Selena looks good? Do you think she got her boob job for Justin?

Sel: Nightlife to numb pain can be dangerous! Be patient soon things will get better-you'll see.
Please take a walk in Central Park for me and send me a pic of John Lennon's statue and a pic of Manhatan and a pic of Saint Patrick's Cathedral and check out 5th Avenue..lol i have too many requests!!! I hope to go to NY one day – I must take a walk in Manhatan (one of my dreams) the closest i've been was Newark's airport almost there but not quite, went to Niagara CAN instead :( I hope my spelling is ok…hugs!!!
Selena should join play boy cuz she's a slut like that

text: The Noble Ape Simulation has been in development since 1996. It features a number of autonomous simulation components including a landscape simulation, biological simulation, weather simulation, sentient creature (Noble Ape) simulation (including a number of internal biological simulations) and a simple intelligent-agent scripting language (ApeScript). The cognitive simulation is relatively central to the hardcoded version of the Simulation and optional (on by default) in the ApeScript version of the sentient simulation. This gives some freedom in the agent simulation method used through ApeScript. Advanced ApeScript users may turn the cognitive simulation off and use the ''brain space'' as actual memory. The landscape (physics) and weather simulations are autonomous components of the Noble Ape Simulation too. The weather simulation can work in either flat or spherical environments similar to the landscape simulation. The biological simulation is based on quantum mechanics. The landscape's shape (height values, surface area, slopes, angle to simulated sun) can be the source of all the biological properties of the environment. This means for any landscape, a long-term stable biological environment can exist and include a wide variety of plants and animals in the simulated ecosystem. Noble Ape also contains a social graph simulation similar to the social graphs found in Facebook and other social networks. Through this social graph the Noble Apes can be tracked in terms of social groups and also over many generations to explain social phenomenon to users looking to study this kind of social interaction. A narrative engine is being integrated as well to allow users to hear the stories from the Noble Apes for the first time. This narrative engine allows the users of the simulation to follow the life history of the Noble Apes through their day-to-day experiences. All the technologies developed in Noble Ape are available in a variety of different forms. The basic downloadable GUI version of Noble Ape is available for Mac, iPad, Windows and Linux. More recently a Noble Ape Webserver has been developed to allow for third-party visualization like SecondLife and also a Twitter feed output to show Twitter users the power of the narrative engine. |

Improve The Design Of Your Passive Wideband ADC Front-End Network
As converter technology improves, so does the demand to resolve very high intermediate frequencies (IFs) accurately at high speeds. This poses two challenges: the converter design itself and the front-end design that couples the signal content to the converter. Even if the converter itself is excellent, the front end must be able to preserve the signal quality too.
