NM Centennial - Shaped by Science, Pt. 1
Posted April 16, 2012
Technology shapes the human story, and its role is apparent not only recently but also across the span of New Mexico history.
The farming techniques used by Native Americans shaped where and how communities could survive. The Spanish, who adopted some of those techniques and brought irrigation technologies, changed the landscape. And then the railroad arrived in the 19th century.
The history of New Mexico since statehood has been marked by a different sort of technological core, as the U.S. military-industrial complex made its mark, along with big federally funded science that made the state what it is today. Next time: The Atomic Bomb
Thanks to The Albuquerque Journal, New Mexico: 100 years of Statehood for this article.

NM Centennial - Weathering the Storm Pt. 3
Posted April 2, 2012
Los Conchas Fire of 2011
A downed powerline in the Jemez Mountains in late June sparked what became the largest fire in state history. It charred 158,000 acres and destroyed 63 residences on Cochiti Mesa and surrounding communities.
No houses burned in Los Alamos, but the town and national lab were evacuated for the second time in 11 years.
Floods brought on by the monsoon season further devastated canyons scorched by Las Conchas, and it will take years for the forest terrain to recover. The one-two punch also devastated much of the popular Dixon's Apple Orchard.

NM Centennial - Weathering the Storm Pt. 2
Posted March 16, 2012
Hatch Flood of 2006: In August 2006 heavy rains breached an arroyo north of Hatch. More than 3 inches of rain fell in less than three hours on the already saturated Hatch Valley in southern New Mexico, forcing evacuations as far south as Rincon and closing all roads into Hatch. Water was reported to be chest high.
About a week later, the arroyo overflowed again.
About 400 homes were affected by the flooding, according to new reports, and many farmers were not able to harvest their late summer chile crops because their fields were too muddy. About half the year's crop was lost.
More "Weathering the Storm" later.

NM Centennial -Weathering the Storm
Posted March 8, 2012
Compared with the tornado ravaged Midwest, the earthquake- and tsunami- prone West Coast and the hurricane battered Gulf, New Mexico has been dealt a pretty fair hand when it comes to natural disasters.
San Marcial Flood of 1929: This was the last flood the village of San Marcial, south of Socorro, could take. Previous floods had devastated this stretch of river but the 1929 flood wiped out San Marcial.
The old village at its peak had more than 1,000 residents, a Harvey House hotel, a railroad yard and farms. The town had been destroyed in 1866 and rebuilt. Flooding struck again in 1920 and 1921.
On August 10,11,and 12 of 1929, heavy rains in Socorro County swelled the Rio Grande River. By August 12, the river had spilled its banks at San Acacia and flowed toward Socorro.
The flood destroyed crops and homes, and San Marcial was never repaired or repopulated.
Another round of heavy rains at the end of September caused the river to spill over its banks and flood the town again. That flood destroyed railroad tracks and the road that led to and from the town. The waters couldn't drain, and stayed stagnant over the winter according to historical reports.
More "Weathering the Storm" later.

wow looks great what did you use for front suspension ?
The stock alternator (I would probably use a 94 amp 12si) has pivot bolt that mounts on the bottom and bolts into the block. Then on top there is a wide, curved bracket that mounts into the hole on top of the intake and to the front of the water pump. The upper bolt on the alternator bolts to that bracket to keep tension on the V-belt. You should be able to get the brackets from the junkyard off an SBC of that vintage.
I can take a picture of the setup on my SBC if you need it. Bruce |
Jeepfan1974: I used a Fat Mans stage 2 front suspension. It fits well and I cut 1 coil out of the springs. I was able to fab transmission and motor mounts without cutting the frame X-member by using a 2004R transmission with the 4.3 Chevy V6. The stock radiator will fit as well. The rear is from a 1994 Chevy Blazer, which required moving the spring pads slightly. PM me if you have anymore questions. I live in Vicksburg, MI. Thanks, Tom.
Why not just use a serpentine system from any early 90's small block or 4.3?
I installed Vortec heads and a marine single plane intake with Quadrajet on my 4.3 in my 92 chevy pickup and I just reused the serpentine system. Since your not using A/C you can get a pulley that bolts to the A/C compressors place. Same with power steering. If your worried about the looks of a serpentine I had both aluminum brackets blasted so they look new, then clear coated them so they always look good. |
Double Vision, Thanks. I wound up making a bracket that bolts to the passenger side of the block and used that in conjuction with half of a bracket system I bought from Summit for $15. It should work fine. I should have used the serpentine brackets, but I sold all that last fall to get garage space. Thanks to all who helped me with this. Tom

GARY Waddock expects Oxford United's players to report for duty in good condition as pre-season training begins today.
The squad will undergo a series of tests to gauge their fitness six weeks before the start of the new Sky Bet League Two campaign.
Only goalkeeper Ryan Clarke and midfielder Andy Whing, both recovering from injuries, will not take part.
The remainder, including Johnny Mullins, who has fully recovered from the foot problem which ruled the defender out of the final weeks of last season, have been following individual fitness routines during the close season.
All the talk over the past week has been about off-field matters, with United owner Ian Lenagan understood to be involved in takeover talks.
A consortium involving Mark Ashton and Darryl Eales is thought to be in advance talks with Lenagan, with a second group of Oxfordshire businessmen – led by Charlie Methven – publicly stating their interest also.
But – for now at least – attention can turn to the playing side of the club, and Waddock, the U's head coach, is planning to hit the ground running.
He said: "The players have programmes to do in the off-season.
"I was in and out of the training ground during the summer and the players have been doing the same.
"They will come back in good condition.
"First we will do the testing with (head of sports science) Alasdair Lane to see where they are.
"Then on the training ground and working on the fitness side of things, then team shape.
"You are looking for it all to come together when the season kicks off."
The sport has advanced significantly since Waddock was a player in the 1980s and 1990s, when pre-season sessions involved long cross-country runs.
United's players will be working with footballs from the beginning, but the U's chief made it clear that did not mean it would not be tough.
"For me, footballers need to work on the ball, whether that's a physical session or not," he said.
"They are out from day one.
"It won't be easy, put it that way. Hard work can be done on the balls because I want us to be a hard-working team."
Having taken over in March during the midst of United's miserable run-in to last season, the next few weeks will be the first opportunity for Waddock to spend significant time working with the players.
The former Wycombe boss is raring to get started, but the players will already have an idea of what is required.
He said: "Pre-season is a good place, we'll come in and everybody looks forward.
"There will be a change in terms of training, but the players have already seen that to a degree.
"They have had a taste of how I plan to structure a training session, it won't be a surprise to them."

Los Angeles Soccer: Juegen Klinsmann
A world of candidates for Chivas USA
October, 27, 2010
By Scott French | ESPNLosAngeles.com
Wednesday's dismissal by Chivas USA of Martin Vasquez isn't all that surprising except for vice president of soccer operations Stephen Hamilton's insistence Saturday that the club's head coach definitely would return in 2011, that "the things we saw in him previously, we still see in him, and I think he's going to benefit from a year of experience as a head coach."
Perhaps so, just not with the Goats. Looking for potential candidates? There are, at least on the surface, hundreds of them. No, thousands. Which are viable and which are not depends on how much Chivas wants to spend -- both on a coach and on players -- and how wide a net Hamilton and the club's "soccer committee" choose to cast.
Some possibilities:
THE BIG NAMES: The biggest, at least in local circles, is German legend Juergen Klinsmann, one of the premier strikers of his (or any) generation -- and an innovative coach who took an unfancied Germany side to the 2006 World Cup semifinals, ran into problems at tradition-minded Bayern Munich (where Vasquez was among his assistants) and twice broke off talks with U.S. Soccer about taking the reigns of our national team, both times over control issues.
Klinsmann lives in Huntington Beach, is between coaching jobs, and is familiar with MLS through his years in the U.S. and history with the Galaxy, for which he served as consultant during Sigi Schmid's reign. He might find the opportunity to build with Chivas most attractive: the club's anti-corporate style stands in stark contrast to their neighbors down the hall, and it wouldn't surprise us if he and President/CEO Shawn Hunter got along famously.

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Sydney Attraction Pass Including Taronga Zoo, Sydney Opera House, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Great tours and we would do it again! We did almost everything possible on the attraction pass and enjoyed the variety of experiences.
Great value for money, whilst ensuring we experienced more of Sydney than we would otherwise have.
The attractions pass with public transportation option was a great way for us to see Sydney. We used the pass for entrance into several of the attractions and we definitely got our moneys worth. The transportation option was a great way to be able to see other sites such as Manly Beach and Bondi Beach without breaking the bank. I would highly recommend purchasing this pass.
A wonderful trip, all went well, wonderful people, transportation pass made travel about the city and beyond easy.
This was a great value. We got the 7 day pas since that was the length of our stay. So we could do anything and everything the entire stay with this pass. Highly recommend this pass.
I was in Sydney for 8 full days (minus the travelling) and bought a 7-day pass. A wonderful pass to have if you plan to explore Sydney. It was hassle free at the ticketing counters and helped us in planning our itinerary in a way as we just went to the attractions and tours covered in the card, which was more than enough to explore and enjoy Sydney! If I were to visit any other cities which offers this card, I would definitely grab one!
After read all the negative points of the card I decided that it wasn't bad. I was absolute right. The negative point is that the day has only 24 hours.
It is too much save and easy to use. I strongly recommend and encourage to have more time for the use of the whole package.
This is a very good deal especially if you are a first timer to Sydney and have limited time to explore. I would highly encouraged for travellers to opt for pass with transport as it gives u the hassle free travel unlimitedly up to beyond Sydney i.e. Blue Mountain. Best deal found so far! TQ Viator!
This card is a brilliant investment and time saver if you truly wish to take in the sights of Sydney whether by train, bus or ferry. It was really convenient and saved having to think about budgeting for daily extra costs. I have used similar cards in New York and this is a brilliant concept. Thanks.
Very good value
The pass was a welcome to my family and I. It was great avoiding lines at the different places we visited.I will use this service again when ever the chance comes again.
great selection of things to see around Sdyney
We purchased the see Sydney card pre trip as I have been to Aus before and the see sydney card is a must for your visit to Aus.
There are so many attractions that this can be used for you just run out of time.
The opera house tour I have completed for the 3rd time and never tire of this tour.
We also went to the Blue mountains the cost of the train fare is additional however is minimal and well worth the trip. We had a lovely day in the Blue mountains Ledra is a lovley little town. The cream tea is a must absolutely fabulous.
A very good value since the admission prices to all the attractions are quite expensive!
Great value since the prices of admission to all the attractions are quite expensive!

So, it's 3:00 a.m. and I have a toothache. Fortunately, I got to bed before 11 pm for the first time in weeks, so I feel comfortable spending some time waiting for the Advil to kick in and catching up on the SOM blog. All the bloggers, by the way, got an e-mail last week encouraging more blogging, so here I am. And I'm sure the others are not too far behind (Neil and Becca, I'm calling you out in the friendliest way possible.) Fall 2 is in full swing these days, and I think I was tricked by the second years.
Read MoreIts hard to believe that finals start on Monday, officially marking the end to our first mini-semester! I think many of us are feeling the stresses of the last couple weeks, between our standard homework assignments, our final economics problem set, corporate presentations and the career fair we've been moving constantly.
Read MoreI'm waxing Ice Cube tonight. In case you aren't familiar, and without going too deeply into the details, one of Ice Cube's greatest hits in his post NWA days was a song called "It Was A Good Day." Ice Cube recorded this track while living in Los Angeles during the 1992 riots; it details a day and night he has in the South Central neighborhood, where from the beginning, "today seems kinda odd-" but in a good way.
Read MoreWell hello there! I am sorry it has been a while, it turns out there are lots of panels to see, lots of free pizzas to consume and lots of problem sets to do in Business School. Regardless, I wanted to blog about this amazing opportunity I got the other day through my Careers course at SOM. The course gives you a multi-faceted framework with which to think about your career past, present and future. We think about values, psychology, goals, culture, leadership, and more. One of the assignments for this course is to interview someone whose career trajectory interests you.
Read MoreIt's been a while, but seeing that it's another Friday and I'm chillin' in the Hall of Mirrors, I figure it's time for another post. I've been here in New Haven for the past few days to help Microsoft with recruiting. It's been a good time so far. Aside from the official events, I've been spending some quality time in my old haunts (the Hall of Mirrors and Food for Thought) hanging out and talking to people while doing a bit of work in between. The only difference is that instead of doing classwork, I'm doing work work (or "real" work).
Read MoreSchool is finally in full swing: this seems to be the theme of the last week. We've all weathered the first econ problem set, considered the ins and outs of the Carlyle Group's proposed investment in the Chinese construction company Xugong, drawn more probability and decision trees than we know what to do with, and spent a fair amount of time working in our core groups to determine what intrinsic and unique qualities we each have which will help facilitate our eventual roles as, in the words of SOM's mission, "leaders for business and society".
Read MoreNow that the school year has hit its stride, the on-campus admissions program is starting to gear up. Yesterday marked the beginning of the annual admissions office campus visit program. Through the program, visitors to campus can take a tour, sit in on a class, have lunch with students, and meet with a member of the admissions staff -- as well as visit the larger Yale campus, if they wish. We had a full complement of visitors yesterday, which was a nice way to kick off the program for the year.
Read MoreIt is such a luxury to return to school after working in the real world for the summer. My summer internship was amazing--but after 12 intense weeks it was pretty cushy to say "it's been fun, see you later, I'm going back to being a student for 9 more months." I have been so happy to return to New Haven. I have been really happy to see my SOM friends again--this is the last time we will all be in one place again. On the first, my friends know me as a native New Yorker, but I love living in New Haven.
Read MoreSo amidst the organized chaos that is Orientation, I found myself sitting in the Hall of Mirrors the afternoon of Wednesday, August 20th, making the best use of some free time by uploading Microsoft Office onto my laptop and organizing my habitually cluttered desktop icons. A few friends walked by at one point and stopped to talk. It went like this. Shapiro: Guillermo, aren't you supposed to be somewhere right now? G-Mo: No, I've got a free afternoon, I went to the IT session earlier so I'm just hanging out until I meet with my learning group.

Programs help the children of divorce – and their parents - Fri, 06 Feb 2015
Children from families going through divorce face a torrent of feelings and issues. They're angry, shuttling between estranged parents, seeking a steady routine.

Rock Around the Clock

Part wall art, part clock, this piece is created by laser cutting a retired record into a starburst-shaped clock, with each arm reaching out to represent all 12 hours. Handmade in Philadelphia.

Kim Jennings Joins the WATG Board
My name is Kim Jennings, and I am lucky to work with talented and gifted students every day. My educational journey started in Jacksonville, Illinois at Illinois College where I received my BS in K-8 Elementary Education. Marriage then brought me to Iowa where I started my career with gifted education. I received my gifted education teaching endorsement from the Belin Blank Center at the University of Iowa. This center's entire focus is to help serve the gifted community with advocacy, research and leadership and gave me a great start in the field. During my time in Iowa, I was the K-12 gifted education coordinator for three years at a rural school district and this is where I realized that I wanted to do more with gifted education. I then received my master's degree in Gifted Education from the University of Northern Iowa. During my time at the University of Northern Iowa my research project entitled, Fifth Graders' Enjoyment, Interest, and Comprehension of Graphic Novels Compared to Heavily-Illustrated and Traditional Novels, was published in International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education. My husband and I moved to Wisconsin where I continued my role as the Talent Development Coordinator at the Kettle Moraine School District. In my current position, I work with students, staff and parents on all areas of gifted education. My work with students allows me to utilize best practices in the field of education and put them into action. I can see how the needs of gifted students need to be addressed and how much students benefit when their academic and social emotional needs are met. I routinely share differentiation practices and strategies with administration and staff to help meet the needs of the students within the classroom. Similarly, I provide coaching to teachers focusing on how to find that delicate balance of both challenging gifted students and including them in the regular education classroom effectively. Much of my role centers around fostering communication between parents and the school through committees, question and answer sessions, and social media support networks for parents of talented and gifted students. Additionally, I facilitate the CESA 1 meetings for gifted education. This position organizes networking systems for gifted coordinators, teachers, administrators and counselors from all of southeast Wisconsin. I am very excited to be joining the Wisconsin Association for Talented and Gifted. I look forward to being part of such a great team with a focus on a group of children who need strong advocates behind them.
Thank You!A big thank you to all who donated to WATG during our year end appeal! There is still time to donate by simply mailing a check to the WATG Office or clicking the Donate link to the right.
As you may already know, the State of Wisconsin provides less than $237,000 in total funding related to gifted education. Below is a graphic showing Wisconsin funding levels compared to our neighbor states. Source. National Association for Gifted Children State of the States Report (2011-2012)
The lack of public support in our state puts the burden on parents, teachers, and community organizations to not only provide appropriately-challenging curriculum for students, but to advocate for students' needs to be met in the first place. This year we hope to undertake a progressive drive to provide additional training and professional development for educators and implement advocacy training for parents and others who understand the importance of gifted education. |

We had tried EVERYTHING for our willful Shepard puppy, Jubilee, but it wasn't until the Invisible Fence® Brand system was installed that she was finally able to run off some of that energy without the risk of going in the street or in other people's yards. We have the Invisible Fence® Brand installed in part of our house as well, to protect houseguests from unwanted visits from Jubilee and her slurpy kisses. The training for both dogs was quick, easy, and safe. Our Invisible Fence® Brand system has been the best thing we ever did for our dogs (besides loving them).

In California and throughout the country hard-working farmworker men and women face abuses on and off the field in part because they enjoy few legal protections.
On May 16, California legislators will be voting on a proposed law that tackles this issue: The Fair Treatment for Farm Workers Act (SB 104). This legislation would strengthen farmworker voices and give them tools to protect the basic rights that most workers already enjoy — and should be wholeheartedly supported.
Last week, the nations of the world agreed that the pesticide endosulfan is too toxic for people and the planet to bear. As our staff scientist Karl Tupper reported from Geneva, 173 countries agreed to ban the chemical through the Stockholm Convention, recognizing that innovative farmers across the globe are already growing coffee, cashew, chocolate and cotton without a drop of the deadly pesticide.
As the sun crested the Berkeley hills early yesterday, I logged on to the Washington Post's live feed of its daylong conference, The Future of Food. For the next 8 hours, I enjoyed a veritable feast of thoughtful, well-evidenced and deeply inspiring calls to embrace a new agriculture, rooted in community and ecological resilience. The messengers included the Prince of Wales — who seamlessly knitted together the challenges of our failing global food system with a clear vision for the future — Eric Schlosser, Wendell Berry, Vandana Shiva and many more.
Do you ever wish it were easier to find fresh, healthy food for your family? Are you outraged by a food system that fills the pockets of giant corporations and denies fairness to farmers and farmworkers alike? Do you yearn to be part of a powerful, growing movement that's spreading across the U.S. (and in fact the world), and that's transforming our relationship to food — and each other — in the most fundamental ways imaginable?
If so, join us for a lively conversation about food justice, food sovereignty and food democracy — in this and future blog posts, or live and in person in San Francisco next Monday.
Farmers are the stewards of the land; sadly, politics often dictate how they farm. In the coming days, Congress will make decisions on funding priorities for 2012, and dramatic cuts to soil conservation programs are being proposed.
We cannot afford to let this happen. Our nation's ability to produce adequate healthy food, and to protect vital air and water resources, depend on how we treat the soil. Cutting soil conservation programs now will have devastating consequences long into the future. Call your Congressmember today and let them know healthy soil is well worth the modest investment.

Recuva is an easy-to-use data recovery tool. It lets you scan for and retrieve previously deleted documents, files, folders and other information, including emails, images and video formats. Recuva also uses secure overwriting techniques for erasing important, private or sensitive information.
Installing Recuva
Computer Requirements
Version used in this guide
Required Reading
Level: 1: Beginner, 2: Average, 3: Intermediate, 4: Experienced, 5: Advanced
Time required to start using this tool: 20 minutes
What you will get in return:
GNU Linux, Mac OS and other Microsoft Windows Compatible Programs:
For GNU Linux users, we recommend R-Linux.
Mac OS users will apprerciate TestDisk and PhotoRec, which are also compatible with Microsoft Windows and GNU Linux.
In addition to Recuva, there are other free file recovery programs compatible with Microsoft Windows that are well worth recommending:
In situations where private or sensitive files may have been mistakenly deleted, Recuva can help you to scan for and restore some of them. As discussed in chapter 6. How-to Destroy Sensitive Information, a file deleted using the standard Windows operating system Delete function, even after the Recycle Bin has been emptied, might still exist on the computer.
However, there are circumstances under which Recuva cannot retrieve information. If you have permanently deleted or wiped any temporary files by running CCleaner with the Secure file deletion (Slower) option enabled, those files are virtually unrecoverable. Recuva cannot recover files after programs like CCleaner or Eraser have been used to wipe free disk space or if Windows itself has already overwritten any previously occupied space. Recuva also cannot recover damaged documents and files.
Recuva can also be used to securely overwrite your private or sensitive data.
Installing Recuva
Installing Recuva is a relatively easy and quick procedure. To begin installing Recuva, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Double click ; the Open File - Security Warning dialog box may appear. If it does, click to activate the following dialog box:
Figure 1: The Installer Language dialog box
Step 2. Click to activate the Welcome to the Recuva Setup Wizard screen.
Step 3. Click to activate the License Agreement screen. Please read the License Agreement before proceeding with the rest of the installation process.
Step 4. Click to activate the Choose Install Location screen.
Step 5. Click to activate the Install Options screen.
Note: The Install Options screen appears with the Install optional Yahoo! toolbar option enabled. Do not install the Yahoo! toolbar, which may compromise your Internet privacy and security.
Step 6. Check the Install optional Yahoo! toolbar check box to disable it as shown in Figure 2 below:
Figure 2: The Install Options screen with the optional Yahoo! toolbar disabled
Step 7. Click to begin installing Recuva. This will activate the installation progress bar that will disappear after the installation has completed itself in a few minutes.
Step 8. Click to complete installing Recuva.
Now that you have successfully installed Recuva, you are ready to begin recovering and/or overwriting private and sensitive information. Please continue to section 3.0 How to Perform Different Scans Using Recuva.
List of sections on this page:
In this section, you will learn how to perform different types of scans, and be introduced to the General and Actions tabs in the Options screen.
Note: A scan will simply retrieve and display the files which are potentially recoverable. The actual recovery procedures are discussed in 4.0 How to Recover and Securely Overwrite Files Using Recuva.
The Recuva Wizard is recommended in situations where neither the full nor partial name of the file you would like to recover is known. It is also recommended if this is the first time you are using Recuva. The Recuva Wizard lets you set the scan parameters by letting you specify the file type and/or from where the file was deleted.
To begin scanning for deleted files, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Click or select Start > Programs > Recuva > Recuva to launch the program, and activate the following screen:
Figure 1: The Welcome to the Recuva Wizard screen
Tip: If you know the exact or even partial name of a file you would like to recover, click to go to the Piriform Recuva main user interface, and then follow the steps in section 3.2 How to Perform a Scan without Using the Recuva Wizard.
Step 2. Click to activate the following screen:
Figure 2: The Recuva Wizard File type screen
The Recuva Wizard File type displays a list of different file types, and describes what files might be recovered when each option is enabled.
Step 3. Check the Other option as shown in Figure 2, and then click to activate the following screen:
Figure 3: The Recuva Wizard File Location screen
Note: The default setting for the Recuva Wizard File Location screen is the I'm not sure option. This option will extend the scan to all drives as well as removable media, except CDs, DVDs and optical media. It may, therefore, require a longer time to generate results.
Files are most frequently deleted from Recycle Bin in the Windows operating systems, to minimize the chance of your accidentally deleting private or sensitive information.
Step 4. Check the In the Recycle Bin option as shown in Figure 3 above, and then click to activate the following screen:
Figure 4: Thank you, Recuva is now ready to search for your files
Note: For this exercise, do not enable the Deep Scan option. This scanning technique will be discussed in section 3.3 How to Perform a Deep Scan.
Step 5. Click to begin recovering your deleted files.
During the file recovery process, two progress status bars appear in quick succession. The Scanning the drive for deleted files progress bar lists the deleted files. The Analyzing the file contents progress bar groups and sorts the deleted files into file types and degree of recoverability. They also display the duration of the scanning and analysis processes. Your Piriform Recuva main user interface may then resemble the following screen:
Figure 5: The Piriform Recuva main user interface with deleted files
The Piriform Recuva main user interface lists information about each deleted file, arranged in six columns. Each column is described as follows:
Filename: This displays the name and file extension of the deleted file. Click the Filename title to arrange the deleted files in alphabetical order.
Path: This displays where the deleted file was found. Given that the In the Recycle Bin option was enabled in this example, the file path is C:RECYCLER for all the deleted files. Click the Path title to view all the files listed under a particular directory or file path.
Last modified: This displays the last time the file was modified before it was deleted, and can be useful in helping to identify the file you would like to recover. Click Last modified to list the deleted files according to the oldest or most recent.
Size: This displays the size of the file. Click Size to list the deleted files beginning with the largest or smallest deleted file.
Status: This displays the extent to which the file is recoverable, and corresponds to the file status icons discussed in Figure 6 below. Click Status to sort the deleted files into the three basic categories, and list them from Excellent to Unrecoverable.
Comment: This displays why a given file may or may not be recoverable, and the extent to which a deleted file has been overwritten in the Windows Master File Table. Click Comment to view the extent to which a file or group of files have been overwritten.
Each file is associated with a coloured status icon which indicates the extent to which each file can be successfully recovered:
Figure 6: The file status icons
The following list describes each status icon:
To access the Recuva main user interface directly, (that is, not use the Recuva Wizard), perform the following steps:
Step 1. Click or select Start > Programs > Recuva > Recuva to activate Figure 1.
Step 2. Check the Do not show this Wizard on startup option, then click to activate the following screen:
Figure 7: The Recuva main user interface
The Piriform Recuva main user interface is divided into the results pane on the left and the Preview, Info and Header tabs in which to sort and view information about a specific deleted file. It lets you set certain scan options, similar to those in the Recuva Wizard.
Step 3. Click to activate the drop-down list and select the drive to be scanned; the Local Disk (C:) is the default and used in this example as follows:
Figure 8: The hard drive drop-down list
The Filename or path drop-down list lets you specify the kind of file you are looking for, and loosely corresponds to the Recuva Wizard File type screen displayed in Figure 2.
Figure 9: The File name or path drop-down list
The Filename or path feature is a combination of a text box and drop-down list. It has two main uses: To let you directly search for a specific file, and/or to sort through a list of deleted files, according to file type.
Alternatively, the Filename or path feature can be used to search for files of a specific type, or to sort through a general list of deleted files in the results pane.
To begin scanning for a file of which all or part of the name is known, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Type in the name or partial name of a file you would like to recover as follows (in this example, the file triangle.png is being scanned):
Figure 10: The File name or path drop-down list displaying triangle.png
Tip: Click to reset the File name and path (which appear greyed out).
Step 2. Click to begin scanning for your deleted file(s); shortly thereafter, a screen will appear resembling the following:
Figure 11: The Recuva user interface displaying the triangle.png file in the Preview tab
The Enable Deep Scan option lets you conduct a more thorough scan; naturally, a deep scan takes a longer time, depending on your computer speed and the number of files you have. This option might prove useful if your initial scan does not display the files you would have liked to recover. Although a deep scan may even take hours depending on the amount of data stored on your computer, it may improve your chances of recovering the files you require.
The Recuva Deep Scan option can be enabled either through checking the Enable Deep Scan option in the Recuva Wizard (please refer to Figure 4).
Step 1. Click to activate the Options screen, then click the Actions tab as follows:
Figure 12: The Options screen displaying the Actions tab
Step 2. Check the Deep Scan (increases scan time) option, then click .
Step 3. Click to begin scanning for deleted files using the Deep Scan option. As mentioned earlier, a deep scan can potentially take a few hours, depending on the size of your hard disk and computer speed:
Figure 13: The Scan displaying the estimated number of hours required for a deep scan
In this section, you will learn how to use the different settings to successfully recover and overwrite your private or sensitive information in the Options screen. To configure these settings, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Click to activate the following screen:
Figure 14: The Options screen displaying the General tab in default mode
The Options screen is divided into the General, Actions and About tabs.
The General tab lets you define a number of important settings, including Language (Recuva supports a spectacular 37 languages seamlessly), View mode and disabling or enabling the Recuva Wizard.
Figure 15: The View mode drop-down list
The View Mode lets you select how you would like to view the deleted files, and can also be enabled whenever you right click a file in the Piriform Recuva.
Most importantly perhaps, the Advanced section of the General tab lets you set the number of times your data can be overwritten by random data to protect it from recovery by hostile or malicious parties.
The Secure overwriting drop-down list displays four options for overwriting your private information. Its default mode is Simple Overwrite (1 pass) displayed in Figure 14. A pass refers to the number of times your document, file or folder will be overwritten with random data to render it completely unreadable.
Step 2: Select the DOD 5220.22-M (3 passes) option as follows:
Figure 16: The Secure overwriting drop-down list with the DOD 5220.22-M (3 passes) selected
A single pass may prove quite effective in overwriting a given document, file or folder; however, there are parties with the resources and skills to recover a relatively light secure overwrite. Three passes is a solid balance between the time required to perform a secure overwrite, and the ability to recover that document, file or folder.
Step 3. Click to save your General tab configuration options.
Figure 17: The Options screen displaying the Actions tab
Show files found in hidden system directories: This option lets you display files in hidden system directories.
Show zero-byte files: This option lets you show you files that have little to no content, and which are basically irrecoverable.
Show securely deleted files: This option lets you display files that have been securely deleted in the results pane.
Note: If you have already used CCleaner or a similar program, it changes the filename to ZZZZZZZ.ZZZ when it securely deletes a file, for security reasons.
Deep Scan: This option lets you scan the entire drive for the deleted document or file; if previous scans have proven ineffective in locating your file, the Deep Scan may prove useful. However, it does require more time. Please refer to section 3.3 How to Perform a Deep Scan Using Recuva.
Scan for non-deleted files (for recovery from damaged or reformatted disks): This option lets you attempt to recover files from disks that may have sustained physical damage or software-related corruption.
The About tab displays version information, as well as links to the Piriform web site.
Now that you are more confident about performing different scans and familiar with the settings in the General and Actions tabs in the Options screen, you are ready to learn how to actually recover and/or securely overwrite your private or sensitive information in 4.0 How to Recover and Securely Overwrite Files Using Recuva
In this section, you will learn how to recover a previously deleted file, as well as how to securely overwrite any private or sensitive information.
Recuva lets you create a new folder for storing your recovered files. Although Recuva does let you use existing folders, for reasons of safety and security, we recommend that you copy your recovered files to a removable device like a backup drive or USB memory stick.
Important: Although Recuva does an excellent job of securely overwriting information, it may leave a file marker indicating the existence of such a file. To protect your privacy and security, it makes sense to save any important, private or sensitive information to a removable device, and not to the original location or path.
To begin recovering a deleted file, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Connect your removable disk or a USB memory stick to your computer.
Step 2. Check the check box next to a file you want to recover to enable the Recover... button or double click that file to both check and highlight that file.
Step 3. Click to activate the Browse For Folder screen.
Step 4. Select a destination and then click to create your recovery folder as shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: The Browse For Folder dialog box displaying the newly created folder on a removable device
Note: In this example, the folder for storing your recovered documents and files has been given an obvious label. However, keeping your digital privacy and security in mind, we encourage you to be more careful in labelling your own folder.
Step 5. Click to begin the file recovery process; a progress status screen appears as follows:
Figure 2: The Recovering files progress status screen
After the files have been recovered, a confirmation will appear resembling the following screen:
Figure 3: The Operation Completed screen
Note: Recuva supports multiple file recovery. Simply check the check boxes of the files you would like to recover and perform steps 3 to 5.
Now that you are comfortable with recovering a previously deleted file, you are ready to learn how to use the pop-up menu to perform multiple file recoveries and secure overwriting of files.
Recuva offers different options for selecting the documents, files or folders you would like to delete or securely overwrite.
Right click on a deleted file displayed in the Recuva main to activate the following pop-up menu:
Figure 4: The pop-up menu
Recover Highlighted: This item lets you recover all or any highlighted deleted file(s).
Recover Checked: This item lets you recover a checked deleted file.
Check Highlighted: This item lets you check a highlighted deleted file.
Uncheck Highlighted: This item lets you uncheck a highlighted deleted file.
As you recall, the View Mode can also be set in the General tab in the Options screen. This item lets you select how you would like to view the deleted files.
Highlight Folder: This option lets you select multiple deleted files according to their directory path, and lets you perform the actions listed in the pop-up menu on them.
Secure Overwrite Highlighted: This option lets you securely overwrite a highlighted deleted file.
Secure Overwrite Checked: This option lets you securely overwrite a checked deleted file, changing its status icon to red.
To securely overwrite a deleted file, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Check the individual file you would like to have securely overwritten, and then right click the check box it to activate the pop-up menu.
Step 2. Select to activate the following confirmation dialog box:
Figure 5: The Secure overwrite confirmation dialog box
Step 3. Click to begin the overwriting process; depending on the size and status of the file as well as the Secure overwriting option you selected in the General tab in the Options screen, this could take some time. After the overwriting process has been completed, a screen resembling the following appears:
Figure 6: The Operation complete screen
You have successfully completed recovering and securely overwriting files using Recuva previously deleted files. To review your knowledge of Recuva, please continue to the FAQ and Review section.
Recuva is an easy-to-use data recovery tool. It lets you scan for and retrieve previously deleted documents, files, folders and other information, including emails, images and video formats. Recuva also uses secure overwriting techniques for erasing important, private or sensitive information.

Please refer to the Recuva chapter to begin configuring and using it.
Installing Recuva
Elena and Nikolai are thrilled with Recuva, particularly how easily and efficiently it works. However, they are now curious about its advanced options, and have some questions about the software.
Q: Are there file types which are impossible for Recuva to recover?
A: No, Recuva can recover all file types.
Q: Can I recover a file that has been securely deleted?
A: Once it's been securely deleted, it's gone forever.
Q: I've noticed that sometimes, even after I've securely deleted a file, it's still marked as recoverable. How is this possible?
A: It's possible that you are seeing a file marker, an indicator of where the original file was located. However, if you recover and open that file, you will find its contents unreadable.
Q: I deleted a file accidentally; having created it less than five minutes ago, I thought it would be easily recoverable. How come Recuva was unable to recover it?
A: Ironically, a document or file existing for only few minutes has greater likelihood of being overwritten by temporary files than one which has existed for a longer period. Recuva doesn't easily recover files which have been deleted almost immediately after creation.
Q: After I've cleaned my computer system using CCleaner, can that data be recovered later?
A: Depending on the skill and resources available to someone attempting such a recovery, it's possible. It also depends on the secure deletion settings you used for cleaning your temporary files and the Windows Registry in CCleaner. To minimize their ability to recover your private and sensitive information, enable the Secure Deletion option in CCleaner, and wipe any empty space on hard drives and in the Windows Master File Table. In Recuva, you can increase the number of passes for securely overwriting data as well. This is a great question because it also shows you how different tools complement each other, in your efforts to protect your digital privacy and security.
