Dear Abby | Jeanne Phillips Woman Is Worried About Being Ogled
Dear Abby,

Due to childbirth, menopause and various surgeries, my breasts aren't what they used to be, so at 54 years of age, I and my husband agree that it's time for me to have breast augmentation. I'm not looking to be another Pamela Anderson; I just want to replace what I've lost so my clothes will fit better.

I'm a bit self-conscious about this and fear the stares, comments and questions from family or friends who think it's their right to ask me about it. What is a tactful response to the comments?

Diane

In Keswick, Va.

Dear Diane,

You might say, "Why, thank you for noticing," and change the subject. But you should be aware that many women consider breast augmentation to be such an uplifting experience that they feel compelled to share every detail, including "show-and-tell." So don't be shocked if your attitude changes after you have it done.

Dear Abby,

My wife of five years has three sisters. She is the second oldest, and ever since I have known her, she has felt like she doesn't "belong" in her family. These feelings get worse during holiday get-togethers. She feels isolated by her sisters and her mother.

I thought she would eventually grow out of it, but since they have all had kids, it has only gotten worse. She cries every time we leave her parents' house, and I know it is affecting our son.

What can I do to help her get over these feelings of not being liked or loved by her own family? It is starting to affect our marriage.

Carla's Husband

Dear Husband,

There is nothing you can do to "help" your wife get over the feeling that she doesn't measure up. But there is something SHE can do: start talking to a licensed psychotherapist about her feelings.

Because I do not know the family or their "dynamic," I can't offer a judgment about the validity of her feelings. However, because she is in tears every time she leaves a family gathering, it might be best if you limit your — and her — exposure to those relatives, at least for a while.

Dear Abby,

I am a young single mother of two wonderful children, yet I feel like a part of me is lost. I have been separated for nearly three years and am nearing the finalization of a divorce. There has been only one meeting between us in that time, and I am fine with the divorce. I have considered myself divorced all this time. Yet, the thought of actually signing those papers makes me literally ill.

Why is this? I am no longer in love with him, and I know I'm better off now, alone and making it on my own. Yet the feeling that it is final is haunting me for some reason.

Scatterbrained In The South

Dear Scatterbrained,

Would it help you feel less "scatterbrained" to know that your feelings are normal? All of them? At one time you committed yourself fully to the man you married and to the dream of "happily ever after."

Signing the divorce papers severs your last tie to your husband and closes the door behind you, even though you exited the marriage three years ago.

Please do not be afraid to sign the papers. Look at it from this perspective: One door closes, another one opens, and it is the door to your future.

I wish you the best of luck and happiness in the years to come.

Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

1. The gorgeous field is a green oasis in a neighborhood otherwise dominated by old brick warehouses and asphalt. The turf is a four-way blend of Kentucky Bluegrass and was grown in Fort Morgan, Colo. Underground heaters kept the field warm all winter long. The field is so lovely we sometimes catch ourselves fantasizing about sprawling out on the grass for a nice nap.
2. Target Field's scoreboard is another major eye catcher. The massive display in left-center field is 101 feet wide and 57 feet high — nine times the size of the scoreboard in the Metrodome and the fourth largest in Major League Baseball. Bring a date to the game and see if you can get caught smooching by the Kiss Cam.
3. The showstopper in Target Plaza is "The Wave" — a kinetic wind sculpture covering a parking ramp. Designed by Ned Kahn, the wind veil is made up of thousands of metallic panels that move with the air currents. At night, LED lights illuminate it and create a stunning site.
4. The ballpark's culinary offerings have also earned a lot of praise from fans. Even if you're not a baseball fan, a trip to Target Field would be rewarding for the food alone. The only trouble is figuring out what you're going to eat. There are so many possibilities to consider. If you haven't tried the Tony O's Cuban Sandwich yet, we highly recommend you do. It's a tasty combination of ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese and pickles on Cuban bread. New food offerings this season include turkey sandwiches from the popular Nicollet Mall food truck Turkey to Go, the Walk A Taco (a tortilla-based cone stuffed with taco ingredients) from El Burrito Mercado in St. Paul and two new Kramarczuk's brats — one a smoked brat with horseradish cream and a wild rice brat with beer mustard and pickled red cabbage.
5. We love our roof decks in Minneapolis and Target Field's boasts one of the coolest ones in town — the Budweiser Roof Deck. It sports seats for 120 fans and has room for another 130 with standing room-only tickets. A large fire pit warms people on cold game days.
6. The Minnie and Paul sign is another great touch at the ballpark. Based on the "Shaking Hands" logo created in 1961 by Ray Barton, it features fans Minnie and Paul shaking hands across the Mississippi River. It was the official Twins logo from '61 to '81 and could be found on everything from concessions cups to team uniforms. The massive sign in center field lights up every time the Twins hit a home run.
7. Be sure to check out the bronze statues of Twins legends — Kirby Puckett, Rod Carew, Harmon Killebrew and Tony Oliva. Bill Mack was commissioned to create the pieces to honor the iconic Twins players.
8. Target Field pays tribute to local beers at the Twins Brews stand. It has many local and regional beers, including Grainbelt Premium, Summit, Schell's, Finnegan's, Leinenkugel's and new this year — Farm Girl Saison from Stillwater's Lift Bridge Brewery.
9. The ballpark has gorgeous views of the city's skyline, too. Seats near the third base line offer the best vantage point. Target Field's footprint is 8.5 acres — the smallest footprint of any stadium in Major League Baseball.
10. Perhaps the most notable thing about Target Field is its green features. It has been awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design silver-level award — a designation that makes it the greenest ballpark in the country. A 100,000-gallon cistern lies below the turf — a component of a rainwater recycling system. Other green features include construction materials with recycled content and energy-efficient field lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions● Are your in-ground spas the same round spas that are attached to swimming pools?
No. Those spas are gunite, or concrete spas that usually run off the pool system.Our spas are made from acrylic and backed with fiberglass. It is the same spa you see sitting on the back patio, just we put ours in ground.
● What are the major differences between the in-ground spa attached to a pool and the Spas by Design in-ground spa?
There are many, many differences between the two in-ground spas. First, our spa is not fully in-ground. We build our spas approximately 18" above the ground to allow for easier access in and out of the hot tub. We also design and build our spa surrounds with travertines, stones, and stuccos to match and blend into your existing environment.
Another difference between the two spas is all of our plumbing, pumps, and equipment are connected to the spa. This means that if there is ever an issue with a pump, heater, or jet, we do not need to tear up a bunch of concrete and dig up long runs of plumbing lines to make a repair. Our repairs can be made within an hour or two making the life of our spa much more cost effective.
Finally, our spas are therapy spas meaning they are built with contours and seats that comfortably seat the human body and are designed to relax and relieve the human body. Gunite spas are built with a bench and some concrete. They typically come with 6-10 jets and are equivalent to sitting in a very expensive concrete bathtub. Our spas come with 35-75 adjustable jets that are designed to comfort and soothe those aching muscles and joints.
● What are the cost differences between a Spas by Design in-spa and a gunite spa?
There is a significant price difference between the two. Due to excessive construction related costs, the gunite spa is 35%-50% more expensive than a Spas by Design in-ground spa. Our acrylic spas are also less expensive to heat and maintain per month!
● What are the monthly costs associated with operating a hot tub?
Operating and maintaining an acrylic spa here in the Phoenix Valley is relatively inexpensive. Using low amperage pumps to circulate the water, a foam insulating cover, and energy efficient spa equipment, operating our spa is around $20 a month
● How do we know Spa Marvel is working?
Users of Spa Marvel should expect to have clear, odor-free water at all times, which on its own can be indicative of good water. However, to be certain that ANY body of water is safe, regardless of the water treatment system that you use, the true test is the absence of bacteria in the water. The Spa Marvel Company Inc. has home bacteria test kits available.
● Is Spa Marvel compatible with other spa water treatment products?
Spa Marvel is compatible with all hot tubs and traditional spa treatment systems including ozonators, ionizors, ultraviolet, chlorine, bromine, lithium, and salt systems.
● How does Spa Marvel compare in price to using traditional spa treatment products?
You will spend the same amount of money using Spa Marvel as you will when using traditional spa water treatment systems. Further savings can be realized when you factor in less frequent water changes and the associated heat-up of those water changes, no longer having damaged bathing attire and no more chemical damage to your lid, jets, heaters, jewelry, hair and nail polish. There is a school of thought that soaking in traditional spa-care chemicals may have negative long-term health consequences, on which a price cannot be put.
● Is it okay to use hard or soft water with Spa Marvel?
Traditional spa treatment products work best at specific water-hardness levels. Spa Marvel will work at any hardness level, and given the choice Spa Marvel prefers softer water over harder water, but it is not a requirement. If your source water is so soft that it is corrosive and damages your heater and seals, then please adjust the hardness using calcium hardness increaser as per your professional spa store's guidelines.
● How long does Spa Marvel last for?
Spa Marvel has a 10 year shelf life. One full bottle of Spa Marvel will treat any tub up to 500 gallons and will last for 3 months with regular use. Spa Marvel is engineered to account for the fact that tubs do experience evaporation and some degree of spillage through regular use. Keep in mind that if you lost most of your tub water (i.e. a major leak or massive spillage) that Spa Marvel may not last as long as 3 months. Every 3 months simply add another bottle of Spa Marvel.
● How often do I need to change my water when using Spa Marvel?
With Spa Marvel you can often go up to a year without changing your water. You do not need to change it as often as you typically would, as you are not super-saturating the water with all kinds of chemicals on a routine basis and the TDS (total dissolved solids) of the water increases only marginally. For best results do not go over a year without changing the water. Water will wear out after a year and you will have difficulty maintaining the pH.
● My tub is only 250 gallons, do I only use ½ of the bottle of Spa Marvel every 3 months?
Use 1 full bottle of Spa Marvel for any tub up to 500 gallons. The reason is in smaller tubs, the bather load per volume of water is often great than it is in the bigger tubs.
● What happens if I go more than 3 months without adding another bottle of Spa Marvel?
At some point you will start to encounter hazy water, pH travel, and the water will lose its "silky" feeling. For best results add 1 full bottle every 3 months.
● Our tub is bigger than 500 gallons. What do we do?
One bottle of Spa Marvel treats all tubs up to 500 gallons for 3 months with regular use. If you had a 1500 gallon tub, which is 3 times the size recommended for 1 bottle, you need to add 3 bottles for 3 months. In other words, 1 bottle of Spa Marvel will last 1 month in a 1500 gallon tub, and can be added monthly.
● Can Spa Marvel be apportioned for shorter periods of time?
Yes. If for example your tub was at a vacation home that you only used 2 months of the year, you can use 2/3 of the bottle of Spa Marvel for 2 months. This formula can also be used if you are planning extremely heavy use of your spa. If you know that you are having a party a month after filling the spa that will result in such heavy use that a water change will be necessary, use 1/3 of a bottle of Spa Marvel to last for that month. After the party, change the water and use the remaining 2/3 to last another 2 months.
● Is Spa Marvel Water Treatment and Conditioner safe?
Yes. Spa Marvel is safe for children, pets, and birds and does not stain clothes, ruin highlights in hair or harm jewelry or nail polish. Spa Marvel is a product so safe that it does not require warning labels or child-resistant packaging.
● Can you use lake water with Spa Marvel?
Yes. If the lake water is cloudy due to tannins in the water, you will need to use spa shock and/or a clarifier to help in clearing it during the first few days.
● Where should my pH and alkalinity be?
pH should range from 7.8 to 8.2 (a range broader than required when using traditional spa treatment products). Spa Marvel tubs tend to, more often than not, sit with a pH of 7.8-8.2. Alkalinity should range from 80 to 120 ppm. Always adjust alkalinity first, then pH, using products available from your professional spa store.

While the childhood friend from Germany does not think his former schoolmate was capable of planning a premeditated murder, despite his temper, he does remember Gerhartstreiter having an obsession with weaponry.
Gerhartstreiter owned air guns that he would aim and fire at a local church, the former friend said. The pellets would usually just bounce off the windows -- though once, the friend recalls, Gerhartstreiter used a more powerful air gun that actually smashed a window.
He claimed Gerhartstreiter continually bragged about an assortment of handguns and rifles that his father owned. The friend believed Gerhartstreiter was lying, because he was never able to produce any of the guns.
The childhood friend considered Gerhartstreiter a self-absorbed loner, adding that his mother, aunts and grandmother appeared to spoil him. He believed Gerhartstreiter's father, a graphic artist and landscape painter, was the only one who did not indulge the boy.

Question, is there a way to cure vampirism?
Done and fixed, thanks! Total user error.
Hooray! New update!
Boo! Runtime error on startup with the mod active!
Don't tell me the mod requires my game to run via my programs folder. I just finished moving my steam folder outta there so my modded Skyrim would be more stable.
"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Games\Steam\Steamapps\common\Crusader Kinds II\ck2.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. please contact the application's support team for more information."
Only happens when this mod is loaded. GoT mod works fine as does my personal mod.
Cannot WAIT to see what you do with all the new creatures in Dragonborn! Must be exciting to have a new set of nasties to work with! Would be awesome to see those creatures showing up in Skyrim too!
Thank you so much SureAI for once again bringing your unparalleled talents to another of Bethesda's games. Already those screenshots look incredible.
I do not even understand how it is you people manage such monumental feats of modding and still have time to have jobs, families, lives or if you're all just independently wealthy, haha!
Regardless, very much looking forward to what you'll cook up. Nehrim pushed Oblivion's engine to it's bleeding-edge limits so I can't even imagine how far you'll take the Creation Engine. Best of luck!
Only 1 question: When are you guys gonna be given millions of dollars to make your own RPG?!?!
"Legend of Hobo" is definitely the best entertainment Minecraft youtubers have to offer. They won best Minecraft video on the Minecraft forums and they are about 1000x funnier than Yogscast.
I heard they're gonna be at Minecon too but idk if that's true or not.
BTW worst freakin' cape ever, don't even care about it any more.
Animators are the hardest and should be in a separate category. Modelers are easy, but not talented ones.
Programmers are second hardest, so I voted for them since Animators weren't on their own.
Hey, it's finally becoming a game! Yay!
Wow man, epic troll rant, very entertaining. It's like a Jerry Springer show on that article, hahaha! Kudos!
I remember this game. It is un-good. Sorry.
Did you try Operation Arrowhead? It was like a whole WORLD of difference, so I'm sure they've made even more improvements!
Yeah, still not sold, minecraft is about the same price, and while I'm not a big minecraft fanboy it seems infinitely deeper in every way. 5$ maybe, but unless it is massive like Torchlight I don't see why this is costing so much.
I mean...hours of hack and slash? I got bored with the demo after five minutes, so if, as you imply, it's the same thing over and over with some new guns and enemies, I still can't see it.
So, I have seen a lot of buzz surrounding this game and that...confuses me.
I played the demo, and it was mildly fun, although nothing that so many flash games on Newgrounds haven't done before. It looks better than those to be sure, and the premise is entertaining in an ironic way, but I can not for the life of me see why this in any way warrants a price tag of 20$, or even a price-tag at all.
With no multi-player or even co-op modes this just seems like a waste of money. Am I missing something here? I myself am a huge zombie fan but that still does not compel me to drop money on this glorified flash game.
So really, what is it about this that has everyone so interested? From what I've read, watched and played, things aren't adding up...
That'd be nice, but the only problem is balance. It's a multi-player game so giving two options like that might be an issue, for example: a first person and third person option, third person always has an advantage because of the larger FOV.
Maybe they can make it work though.
Yeah...copyrighting a camera mechanic? Not possible.
So I bet you guys get this a lot but what are your plans now?!
Are you moving on to the next project? Preparing for a Skyrim TC? Perhaps being given MILLIONS of dollars to start your own game studio and make your own rpg!?!
Finger's crossed for the latter, but the former would be good tooooooo!
Although the lack of inverted camera is very disappointing. It worked beautifully in AVP and I think it will be MORE confusing if you are on a wall and NOT oriented toward it. it just looks strange without it.
I would urge you guys to reconsider, I frankly would avoid that class like the plague if the camera didn't follow the wall-walking orientation. Just my view though.
That last part gave me chills! Amazing stuff!
No it makes the game completely retarded, every farmhand and housewife transforms into a badly animated flippy ninja retard when attacked. Dumb as hell.
Yay SureAI, now get out there and make a fully-fledged game please! You clearly have what it takes!
Totally deserved! Amazing work rewarded properly!
Yay SureAI!
Yeah I have a nodvd crack too cuz I lost my install disc and it works fine for me.
This mod deserves TC of the year, hands down.
It is a separate install so your Oblivion is untouched.
In case anyone's interested, this awesome LPer is streaming this awesome mod and it is all kinds of awesome: bashurverse.com/live
Hey guys, if any of you are interested this guy Bashur is streaming Nehrim: bashurverse.com/live
Just finished the main quest and most of the side quests.
I was really happy with the ending, quite spectacular and the little nods to other games and stories were a real treat. I'll be writing a full review on your forums, but suffice it to say, it will be on the positive side!
There is an independent effort to make this happen but of course since SureAI are not doing it themselves, the same level of quality can't be guaranteed.
I'm sure these guys are ready to move on to their next masterpiece anyway, hehe!

The Zoe is the sort of whimsical concept that makes the Geneva Motor Show so much fun. The diminutive city car is based on the precept that, on average, cars carry only 1.4 people per trip, but that consumers are nonetheless put off by the perceived limitations of two-seat cars. Thus the hatchback Zoe is a three-seater, with the rear seat area split between a single seat and an expanded cargo space. "No one currently offers a three-seater," says Patrick le Quement, Renault's design director. "It seems like a formula that could work." The rear chair is separated from the cargo area by a sweeping curve of a divider which looks like that of a Victorian-era courting bench.
The Zoe's interior is awash in light from glass roof panels that flip up whenever the doors are opened, and Renault stresses that all seats offer the same level of comfort, with the rear passenger enjoying a built-in footrest and a seat that Renault likens to a comfy armchair. The driver's-side door swings open on hinges, while the passenger-side door slides. A T-shaped junction between the rear part of the roof and the windshield header assures structural rigidity even with the lack of a B-pillar. The curved glass roof panels, which le Quement says would be easy enough to do for production, have LED star lights embedded in them. The left rear quarter-window can be opened via the keyless remote for easy loading of cargo into the trunk space. The 11.3-foot-long Zoe is powered by a 100-hp, 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine. "The Zoe is one of my three favorite concept cars that Renault has done," says le Quement.

A Pony League baseball backstop originally installed at Garrison Middle School by members of Rotary Club of Walla Walla in 1958 eroded considerably in the ensuing years. Peggy Needham said the condition of the backstop poses a safety hazard with its rusty poles, wires and holes.
"This backstop is in desperate need of replacement," she said in the Oct. 29 online Walla Walla Public Schools Week in Review.
"Not only is the Garrison field utilized by the middle school, it is utilized by summer ball as well. It would be wonderful to have an additional field to use for summer and fall baseball programs."
As fundraising chairwoman for the Walla Walla Valley Select Baseball program, Peggy is taking donations to replace Garrison's aging baseball backstop.
The WWVSB program needs $8,500 to purchase materials for the project.
Walla Walla Public Schools agreed to pay for the cost of the installation.
The new backstop will also be moved forward to enhance competitive play, allow for additional fan seating and improve safety by increasing the overhang to lessen the chance of cars and spectators being hit by foul balls.
Peggy said in addition to the backstop, her group wants to raise money to install shelters over the dugouts to keep players protected.
She said a sign to be provided by Key Technology and installed on the backstop will recognize financial contributions of $500 or more.
A Garrison Backstop Project account has been set up at Banner Bank and donations may be made at any branch. Donations are tax deductible. Funds may also be mailed to: Walla Walla Valley Select Baseball, 129 E. Alder St., Suite 201, Walla Walla, 99362. FED ID 27-0387105
WWVSB originally started in 1998 as the Cub's traveling baseball team, part of the Babe Ruth program at the time.
They added the Blues, originally called the Royals, who were coached by Ryan Carter, a younger team coached by J.C. Biagi and Luke Hamada to cover a younger age group (13-14).
Both teams have been active based on the number of kids wanting to play year-to-year.
This year they held a fall baseball program for youths aged 13-16 at Murr Field.
"We had 23 kids participate and would have had more, but lack of time to advertise hurt the program," Peggy said. "We had kids coming into the complex halfway through the season wanting to play."
WWVSB manager is Mike Needham. Coaches are Kevin McNeil, Zach Armijo and Thayne Stone. 2010 WWVSB Board members are George Flippo, president; Wes Hibner, vice president; Thayne Stone, accounting; Carla Haen, secretary; and Peggy, fundraising.
Farm Credit Services in Walla Walla donated $1,000 to help nine members of Boy Scout Troop 305 here attend the Boy Scouts of America's National Scout Jamboree July 26-Aug. 4 in Fort Hill, Va.
The week-long celebration of the 100-year anniversary of Boy Scouts was attended by 43,434 scouts worldwide. An estimated 300,000 members of the general public visit the event also, according to Wikipedia.
In appreciation for FCS' support, Life Scouts Joel McClure and Greggory Heller presented the FCS staff with an award, a framed picture of the boys, said Joel's mom, Sarah McClure. Several of the boys sent handwritten thank you notes to FCS and gave a PowerPoint presentation to the local FCS advisory board at its meeting last spring. In it, they explained the scouting program, the jamboree and what they expected to gain and why they wanted to attend, Sarah said.
Scouts Joel and Nathan McClure, Greg Heller, Sam Wright, Zac Pinney, Trevor Duprey, Bradley Duprey, Daniel Taggart and Nick Poolman participated in the jamboree. They stayed with scouts from Sweden and Mexico so they could get to know participants from other countries, she said.
Wikipedia noted that "the 2010 National Scout Jamboree was the largest overall since 1973, and the largest at a single location since 1964." The event's theme was "Celebrating the Adventure, continuing the journey."
Among the many activities in which scouts could get involved were an obstacle course, air-rifle shooting, archery, 19th century frontiersman events, a bikathlon, skeet shooting, climbing, BMX motorcross, mountain boarding, rappeling, trapshooting, canoe slaloming, fishing, kayaking, racing shell fun and snorkeling.
There were two arena shows with entertainment and Wikipedia reported that the "fireworks display (was) larger than any ever performed on a military base or at a national Scout jamboree."
The Jamboree for the first time added social networking so scouts could use the cell phone coverage and Wi-Fi network to keep in touch with friends and family.
The 2011 international scout jamboree will be in Sweden in summer.
Forty-plus descendants of immigrants John David and Elizabeth Frank will convene for a family reunion over the Thanksgiving holiday, said their daughters Freda Wilhem and Katherine Benzel. The celebration, which coincides with their brother David Frank's 95th birthday, will be at The Marc restaurant in the Marcus Whitman Hotel & Conference Center.
John and Elizabeth were Volga Germans from Kautz, Russia. Because of intolerable conditions there, in 1913 the couple left family members behind and sailed to Boston with young daughters Elizabeth and Molly, both now deceased. They traveled by train directly to Walla Walla where John had two brothers and a sister, George and Conrad Frank and Eva Frank Schneidmiller. Their parents, John Conrad and Eva Schreiner Frank, and younger brother William Frank joined the family within a year.
Freda said her dad owned Frank's Grocery at South Fourth Avenue by Garrison Creek and their home next door on Malcolm Street.
The couple raised their five sons and four daughters in Walla Walla. Because of job opportunities for their children or their spouses, eight of them moved to other areas, Freda said.
All nine promised not to lose their close-knit ties after their parents died and they have held several reunions in Walla Walla and one in Goleta, Calif. This is the first gathering to take place at Thanksgiving, Freda said. Many of their offspring are expected for the event. Siblings who plan to attend include Carl and Harold Frank of Goleta, David Frank of Fayetteville, N.C., and Sol Frank, Katherine and Freda, all of Walla Walla, and members of their families. Their brother, the Rev. John Frank of Garden Grove, Calif., unfortunately has a prior commitment and cannot attend.
With so many friends and family wanting to wish her happy returns on her 90th birthday, Maybelle Leinbach was feted at three celebrations on a recent Friday, Saturday and Sunday, said daughter Dianne Wales. Maybelle's husband, Ronald Leinbach will celebrate his 95th birthday is coming up in May, Dianne said. The couple just observed their 72nd year of marriage in July. They have two children, four grandchildren and numerous great- and great-great-grandchildren. Among those who came to fete Maybelle was a granddaughter who traveled here from distant Pennsylvania.Etcetera appears in daily and Sunday editions.

I am changing my motherboard and case, and am doing a system image on an external hard drive first. When I have transferred all my drives to the new case and re-installed Windows, will I be able to transfer all my old files and settings back on from the system image? Thanks, Paul

If you have an OEM copy of Windows, changing the motherboard is considered a change of PC and you may well have trouble activating it as the original activation code in the image is unlikely to be valid.
In terms of the system image, all files and setting will be present on installation.

If you have trouble activating online then take the phone option and you will have little trouble.

If you are fitting a different board then the drivers in your image of windows will not suit the new board and you will probably not beable to boot from the restored image.

But won't drivers be an issue? The 'old' drivers on the system image presumably won't work on the new motherboard - so those will need to be installed?

He is reinstalling Windows so drivers are not going to be an issue. He will have to reapply any settings but copying files across is a simple enough process.
Of course all your programs will need to be installed again.Here is a program I use as it will install all the popular software in one .exe file.

Chronus: I take your point. Oh, and - I can't recommend ninite too highly. I tell it I want Chrome, Avast, IrfanView, VLC Player, Adobe Reader, WinRAR, two kinds of Flash and some other stuff - and it just gets on with it, doing the install I would have done myself (e.g. no extra toolbars, changing default settings and so on) completely unattended. An absolutely magical discovery.

An Image can be a good idea since it means no files/folders, profiles etc will be forgotten from the old system.
After fitting new m/b and completing the clean install, the Image can be mounted, not Restored, and files/folders copied over manually.
Some backup apps will restore to dissimilar hardware, but they are the paid versions and it has to be done a certain way I think.
I have seen some ideas for restoring a normal 'Free' Image to another machines or m/b.
The author said it may work if you go into Device Manager and uninstall every driver you can find (HDD excepted I presume) and make an Image of that.
If you have space and want to try, you could do that. Make a normal Image first, then a driverless Image on the off chance it could work.
Images should always be verified of course before major surgery.

Patient's Ectopic Pregnancy Misdiagnosed - Tube Bursts.
ISSUE: In many states before a medical malpractice suit can be brought against a physician, a notice of intent to bring suit must be given. In this extraordinary Michigan case, a patient allegedly failed to give a valid notice. However, the physician involved failed to object to the notice. Was the physician later precluded from objecting to the patient's claim at trial? This was just one of the issues with which the Michigan courts were confronted in this case, involving the failure to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy.
CASE FACTS: Lisa Roberts, pregnant with her first child [sic], presented herself to Barb Davis, PAC, Dr. Michael Atkins, and Dr. Gail DesNoyers at Obstetrics & Gynecology of Big Rapids. A diagnosis of spontaneous abortion was made and a D & C was performed at Mecosta County General Hospital. The patient was sent home at that time, despite Dr. DesNoyers' knowledge of the patient's history of a prior pregnancy [sic]. Over the course of the next few days, the patient continued to experience pain and cramping and on October 7, 1994, was seen at Mecosta County General hospital by Dr. Atkins. The patient was told that the pain she was experiencing was from cramps from a D & C. The patient was sent home. The patient returned to the hospital on October 8, 1994, at which time, it was discovered that she had not had a spontaneous abortion but had an ectopic pregnancy in her left tube which had burst. Emergency surgery was performed and the patient's left tube was removed. The patient had her right tube removed approximately 10 years earlier. The patient is now unable to bear children. As required by Michigan law, the patient filed notice of intent to bring suit against the physicians. None of the physicians or others named in the notice filed any objection to the notice. After waiting the requisite number of days following the filing of her notice of intent, the patient brought suit against the physicians and their professional group. Defendants Atkins, Mecosta, and General Hospital, which was also named as a defendant, moved for summary judgement based on the plaintiffs failure to file a "sufficient notice of intent to file a medical malpractice claim under Michigan law." The trial court ruled that the patient's notice of intent "failed to contain the minimum information required to comply with the law." Specifically, the trial court found that the applicable standard of care was only generally stated and failed to directly address the standard of care specifically applicable to Dr. Atkins as well as the hospital. The patient appealed.
COURT'S OPINION: The Court of Appeals of Michigan held that the defendants waived any alleged deficiencies in the plaintiffs notice of intent by failing to raise such issues before suit was brought. Accordingly, the court reversed the decision of the lower court and remanded the case for trial. The court held, inter alia, that the purpose of the statute requiting notice of intent to sue is to promote settlement and not to give defendants a procedural loophole to avoid claims regardless of merit.
LEGAL COMMENTARY: A defective notice would merely prompt a defendant to respond with an objection. If the plaintiff failed to redraft the notice, the plaintiff would face the possibility of a summary disposition. The court noted that it was merely holding that a claim that is covered by a notice of intent "cannot be dismissed on the basis of an argument that a notice was deficient where an objection was not raised by the defendant before the filing of the complaint." If said procedures are followed, there would be no motive for a plaintiff to file an unduly vague notice of intent, nor, more to the point of this case, would there be a motive for a defendant to reserve his objection to the notice until after a complaint is filed. It is unfortunate that this case, which so adversely impacted the patient's ability to have children went up to the Court of Appeals on a technicality. Laymen often wonder why the law often fails to get right to the heart of a matter. Was one or more of the defendants guilty of medical malpractice in failing to diagnose the patient's ectopic pregnancy? Was that malpractice the direct and proximate cause of the burst of the tube? Was the patient left unable to bear children for the rest of her life? How much should the plaintiff be awarded should there be a finding that one or more of the defendants was guilty of malpractice and that the malpractice was the direct and proximate cause of the injury resulting in the patient's inability to bear children?

Museums feel economic chill
Admissions deals, special programs court customers
"Stay for the Day" passport ticket to four of 13 museums in one day, $29. Passport includes a 10 percent discount on purchases. Available through May 22 at the park visitors center.
Family Day, March 21, includes special activities and performances throughout the day with paid admission to museums.
Half-price admission from 10 a.m. to noon Saturdays and Sundays at Mingei International Museum, San Diego Museum of Man and the Museum of Photographic Arts. Offer runs through Memorial Day.
Mingei and San Diego Museum of Man are also offering paying customers discount coupons to the other institution, through June 30. Coupons are $2 off for adults and $1 off all others.
Community Sundays at the Mingei: a $5 family-rate admission, $3 for individuals, on the last Sunday of each month from noon to 4 p.m. Includes an exhibition-related treasure hunt and prizes.
Free Tuesdays: Museums are free on a rotating basis on Tuesdays. Last month, the city dropped the provision that limited the offer only to San Diego County residents.
BALBOA PARK How's this for a deal? On a weekend morning, admission costs $3 at the Museum of Photographic Arts.
Next, the Timken Museum of Art – a tiny treasure trove of Old Masters paintings – is free, as always.
Finally, get a $5 turkey sandwich at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center's Galileo Cafe and sit outside near the landmark Bea Evenson fountain. If it's a Sunday, cap it off with the free 2 p.m. concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion.
The same money will barely buy a movie ticket and popcorn at the multiplex.
Balboa Park's institutions – hurting from plummeting portfolios and dwindling donations – have started marketing the park as a budget-friendly choice in gloomy economic times.
The park is unveiling a $29 passport ticket good at up to four museums in one day.
It also wants to woo visitors with a March 21 Family Day event, when at least 20 institutions will offer special programs with admission. Examples include free puppet making between Balboa Park Puppet Theater performances and a corn-husk doll project at the Museum of San Diego History.
"We decided that combining them all into a same-day, parkwide event would be a great way for families to discover the many affordable, kid-friendly activities" that are a fixture at the park, marketing director Sue Varga said.
"People are still going out and spending money. What we want to do is offer value for the family. We want people to come here," Varga said.
In addition, the Mingei, Museum of Man and photo museum are offering an early-bird deal on weekends. Admission is half price before noon. Other $1-off and $2-off deals are running though June.
Museum officials say people need a little peace and beauty these days, and they can provide it – at bargain prices.
"The arts and cultural experiences really become a great source of encouragement," said Rob Sidner, director of the Mingei. "Often they are the first to go when people cut budgets, but it's the thing that really touches people's souls."

New Delhi, July 5
Kolkata-based Emami Ltd is now looking to spread its wings to overseas shores. The company is learnt to be in talks to acquire a manufacturing unit in Hungary. Emami intends to use the facility to manufacture its products to cater to the European market. "We are in talks with a Hungary-based firm to acquire a manufacturing unit," said Mr Manish Goenka, Director, Emami.
The company is also keen on acquiring companies/brands in other markets such as West Asia, Africa, and the EU. Further, the company is also eyeing acquisitions in the personal and health care domain in India. "Our Fair and Handsome fairness cream has done well and we are now looking to add more brands to our skin-care category," Mr Goenka said.
Further, the company is also sprucing up its ayurveda business. It has created a healthcare division under which it plans to market its ayurvedic products. "We are expecting to clock business worth Rs 300 crore in the next three years," Mr Goenka said. The company currently is in the process of launching five products including cough syrups, digestives, and a memory tonic in the Northern States of Rajasthan, Bihar, Punjab and Delhi by next month. It further plans to add five to eight new products to its ayurveda basket every year and aims to have 25 products in the domain in the next three years. The company, Mr Goenka said, would support its ayurveda business with a marketing spend of Rs 10 crore this year.
The company is also foraying into other FMCG categories including the toothpowder segment. Apart from `Red toothpowder,' other products such as honey, blood purifier and liver syrups and tablets are also on the anvil. "The toothpowder market is around Rs 500 crore and we see immense potential in the segment," said Mr Goenka. Emami is also considering shifting some of its existing FMCG products to the healthcare division apart from test marketing its ayurveda spas and clinics in Kolkata.

Dual boot question..
I just got my new HD and i'm going to put 98SE on one partition and XP on another.
Question when I install my games on 98SE (hince XP still has issues with some games) do I have to install them in the XP partition also if I want to play them when I'm in XP? Silly question I think but I never had a partition before so I would assume it's like having 2 different OS on one drive.
Also there was a liknk here I believe like 2 weeks ago that had to do with an XP tweaking guide. I was pretty indepth. I can't find it and I been trying to get my grubby little hands on stuff like this so I can see what people have been doing to get make sure XP runs at it's best. Service pack 1 hopefully will be out soon so I don't have headaches like some folks had with XP. Was it nvnews that had that XP guide??

my main concern with a bivy is not in keeping me dry in a 10 hour downpour. Rather it is to protect my down bag from splashes coming off a tarp/open floor shelter/ snowcave/ dew, etc.
Problem is that I am a warm sleeper and my down bag is notorious for not breathing very well by itself. Therefore, i need to make sure the bivy sack I buy can breath really well. Does anyone know how this BD fabric compares to eVEnt or membrain? I am desperately trying to avoid the dreaded bivy condensation
Mitch Andrews
The BD fabric is highly breathable and you should not encounter any problems. If you have issues you can always return for a full refund
James Jenden
The NanoShield fabric is significantly more breathable than eVent or Membrain.

Infinis is one of the UK's leading generators of renewable power. Its total installed capacity of 571 MW is generated at 143 sites, including 123 landfill gas plants, 10 onshore wind farms and 10 hydroelectric power plants. The company's headquarters are in Northampton, and it employs approximately 400 people, of whom around 190 are engineers.
Business need
To generate a significant percentage of the UK's renewable energy, Infinis operates a network of biogas, hydroelectric and wind power plants, distributed throughout the country. Maintaining this extensive infrastructure is a complex proposition.

somebody please explain
pavan's share shud b=82.5 rs
Continuing from your post
You were almost reached.
The car covers distance (4/3)C in 4/3 hours
Meanwhile in 110 mins, the bus would have covered 11/12C distance.
Now (4/3)C+(11/12)C = 2*80 = 160
and hence B=320/9
distance travelled by car in 1/2 hr= dist travelled by bus in 1 hr
so speed ratio=sc/sb=2
total distance travelled by both in whole travel=2X80=160km
distance share covered by car =2/3of 160
how much water is in large container... more data is required.....

Hi there,
Please send me a message through my profile page and I'll send you the import file.
I purchased this theme few months back, and I'm very happy with the theme and all the help I got earlier from you. Thanks for that!
However, I would like to create the same site I created earlier now in a different language. What do suggest would be the best way to do that? I'd like to have Swedish flag on the top of each page so that they could be seen either in Swedish or Finnish (now).
My site is http://www.lanina.fi
Thanks a lot again!
Hi there,
You mus use a translation plugin like WPML.
How i can put the theme in boxed style?
Hi there,
Please send me a message using the contact form on my profile page and I'll send you the instructions.
Hi, is captcha for the contact form supported? after installing the theme, we've been receiving a lot of spam mails. Appreciate your help. Thx
Hi there,

ok, thank you very much. Cheers
Hi. Will you release an update for the newer version of WP??
Hi there,
The theme is working fine on the latest WP version, except for the shortcode menu. You'll need to insert the shortcodes manually.

I am a 32 year old male with mild psoriasis on my forehead just below hairline and two small areas on cheeks. It is well controlled with steroid creams. I have purchased a package of six 70% vivite glycolic acid peels(only offer 70%) and six microdermabrashion treatments. I just had my first demabrashion with no side affects. What sequence would you suggest as far as treatment beetween the peels and dermabrasion and steroid cream?
70% Glycolic Acid Peel with Mild Psoriasis on Face
Doctor Answers 1
Glycolic peels can be dangerous for patients with psoriasis
Glycolic peels can be dangerous for patients with psoriasis. Psoriasis can flare and extend over areas of damaged skin and the inflammation from peels can extend the psoriasis.

Yes. I get more mail from external users using RHEL than Fedora, and they often build from source so they can get the extra features we don't ship (ie. virt-inspector). Maybe I get more mail because they have more problems, but RHEL 5.3 built from source / git clone is nevertheless a requirement. Are we planning to rev autotools in RHEL 5.4? That might makes things easier if we do it.

Jackass: The Game can be fun for a bit, but mostly because the content of the stunts is funny. Actually playing them isn't as exciting as simply seeing what happens next, which is unfortunate.
It goes without saying, but in case you're wondering: if you're not into Jackass the TV show, you're not going to care too much for the game either. [Oct 2007, p.97]
Unfortunately, the stunts which are normally hilarious and cringe worthy on the show come off as dull and uninteresting in the game.

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in McCutcheon vs FEC striking down aggregate limits on donations to political parties and candidates casts doubt on the constitutionality of similar caps under local pay-to-play ordinances in New Jersey, and may provide ammunition for government contractors and others to challenge the laws. Law 360's Martin Bricketto interviewed Partner Laurence D. Laufer and Counsel Rebecca Moll Freed of the form's Corporate Political Activity Law Practice Group on the potential impact of the decision on local laws in the Garden State.
"New Jersey's statewide campaign finance laws don't set aggregate limits on what contributors can give over a particular period of time to different candidates or parties, but many local pay-to-play laws across the state — which are intended to hinder the influence of campaign cash on government work — impose such restrictions on business entities seeking public contracts, according to Rebecca Moll Freed of Genova Burns Giantomasi Webster LLC… There are key differences between those caps and those that the Supreme Court sunk in its 5-4 decision —but the ruling may still strengthen constitutional arguments against the state rules, Freed said."
The article continued, " The fact that the laws' aggregate limits only apply in the context of government contracting is indeed a key distinction compared to the caps at issue in McCutcheon, according to Genova Burns partner Laurence Laufer…. And while the federal limits applied to a single contributor, the pay-to-play laws are more stringent in their scope because they rope in contributors that may be affiliated with one another through a business entity and subject them to the same aggregate caps, according to Laufer….. 'Aggregate limits as a general principle are now on shakier ground than they were."

Last Friday the IRS released additional proposed regulations implementing the minimum value requirement for coverage sponsored by employers with 50 or more FTEs. The proposed rules provide that amounts contributed by employers to health savings accounts and integrated health reimbursement arrangements will be considered when determining whether a plan meets the minimum value requirement. The proposed rules do not define what an "integrated" HRA is; however, the IRS indicates further guidance on this issue is expected. Wellness incentives relating to preventing or reducing tobacco usage are also considered when determining whether the plan meets the minimum value criteria; however, other wellness incentives are not.
The IRS commentary also indicates there will be no de minimis exception for employers who fail to offer a minimum value health plan. Therefore, large employers subject to the play or pay rules will need to make sure their plan designs meet the minimum value criteria if they wish to avoid penalties.
