Looking for string opinions and help
Hi, this is my first post on the forums and I could really use some help. I'm in that stage where I'm still trying to find a racquet and string combination that works for me. I've demo'd 20+ racquets and I now have a Dunlop Aerogel 4D, 2009 Babalot Pure Storm GT+, and a Head Youtek IG Radical Pro.
Anyway, with that little back story out of the way I've tried tried a few different string set-up.The one big issue I have is that the string I use has to be able to last at least a month because the closest stringing shop is over an hour away from my home.
I've used Luxilon Big Banger Original and Alu Power 16. I really liked the power and control these two strings have but they seem to go dead rather quickly. Volkl Cyclone is a string I used through most of the summer. I loved the spin I could get but it was really rough on my arm and it seemed more difficult to generate pace with it. I tried it with NRG2 as a hybrid which really helped with the comfort but I was still missing the control I had with the luxilon strings. Finally, I used BHB7 17. I really love this string especially in my Pure Storm. It feels great and I can generate a fair amount of spin. The only problem with this string I've had so far is after 2 weeks, 3-4 days a week for about 3 hours a day I'm out hitting sometimes just with a ball machine, its completely unplayable. I also wish it had a bit more power.
I was looking at giving Luxilon 4G 16L, Gamma Zo Tour Rough, and mixing Dunlop Blackwidow with Juice for a hybrid. Any feedback would be appreciated .
get yourself a stringing machine.
I honestly want to and have really thought about it.
That would be your best bet, then you can try any strings you please.
Poly only "lives" on average for 8 to 10 hours. Anything after that is going to playing with dead poly which in turn can/will lead to arm damage.
If you aren't a string breaker (which from your OP shows you're not) why not try natty guy? It plays great for it's entire life and the durability is great as long as you don't play in the rain with it / get it wet.
I'm mixing up volkl cyclone, top spin max rotation with genesis xplosion(imo one of the best multi that suits my play)
You can try them if you want.
Get a Neos or something, really easy to learn on, and they are so simple to use...But if you are going to continue to use the stringer that is an hour or so away you are in a predicament...Multis will fray and break quicker...but polys will lose tension over time and feel dead, and if you play frequently and use a thinner poly it will most likely break fairly quick as well..so you may have to use a thicker poly which normally dont feel that good.
Well, it looks like you play 40 to 50 hours a month. Your looking for a string that holds its characteristics for that amount of time. Some of the natural guts like Pacific Tough Gut or even Babolat with its BT7 coating will not only last 50 hours but offer comfort, spin, control, feel for its entire life time. If the tennis shop doesn't carry natural gut buy it from TW (or whoever) and have the tennis shop string it. Labor will cost you around 10 bucks. BTW natural gut is more powerful than most other strings so increase the tension. Like 3 pounds higher than your NRG2 hybrid. Buy 16g.
If you get a stringer, and your closest shop is over an hour away, then once you get the hang of stringing you could possibly benefit from stringing other tennis players racquets in your area, since there are none close by. So machine will pay off and you benefit as well. Check out the videos on the sticky section of these forums, as some well put together ones are there, and you can get an idea of what stringing is all about.There are videos available, help here, as well as being member of USRSA as they have a great deal of information avail.
Like others said, nat. gut can last a long time, and it does play well until it breaks, but its the durability factor with gut. It sometimes last a good while, then again, if you are not a clean hitter and shank a ball, it may not snap at the shanked shot it can later in the bag just from that shank.If you go the nat. gut way, start with a 16g. as it is a little more durable than the 17g.I string a decent amout of nat. gut for myself and others, and the durabilty factor is a factor with gut for the long term, but it does play very well until it breaks.Nat. gut has great feel, comfort and power.
Such a good point about possibly stringing others rackets.
Thank you all for the feedback.
All poly will be dead around 10 hours or so. They may not break but they either will lose tension and launch the ball or will have lost elasticity and feel flat/dead.
The longest lasting string is probably natural gut but +$$$.
Sounds like you play a lot of tennis. A stringing machine is a good investment if you do.
If you don't get a stringer, maybe Bab Tonic+ 15G or 16G gut as it will stay playable until you break it. I usually get over 20 hours before it breaks too.
A good multi might be your next option, but they tend to break faster than gut for me. NRG2 is pretty good for me.
But, sounds like a stringer might be your best bet.
If you do decide to string, and string other players racquets, then I advise to get as much machine as you can afford. I would at the least get fixed clamps, a 6 point mounting, and a good brake system as a minimum.
It would make the job easier, especially if stringing a decent # of racquets, the more features the more enjoyable it is. Since you are in an area where there is no competition, you should have no issues getting a decent buisness. Just be sure you have a good technique down before you start on other players racquets. You would not want even one racquet to leave your place with any mistakes or issues.The USRSA has a decent manual called "Racquet Service Techniques" that has just about all the basics needed for stringing. Also some very well put together videos on this site.
yes but what to string the natura gut with in the crosses ?
Which poly which lasts a decent time

Cabins: Some cabins are better than others
I grew up doing a lot of camping in a tent. I used to laugh at people in campers and cabins because they didn't know what it was like to "rough it". Well, those days are almost over for me, although I'm perfectly game to go tent camping again. Now I'm happy with things of comfort and these cabins were perfect for me. A little rustic but with creature comforts as well.
If you decide to rent a cabin here, we can recommend the following cabins to you based solely on their location. We had never been there and considered ourselves lucky when we booked over the phone, not knowing which cabin location we were getting. We got Cabin #1 which was really nice and fairly close to the water. The best locations, however, were Cabins #2, 3, 4, 8, and 9, with 2 being the most ideal view of the lake. There--now you have it. First hand knowledge of what to ask for when and if you book! :)
All the cabins have the same layout---loft with double bed, bedroom on the first floor with 2 bunkbeds, sofa sleeper in the living room. Kitchen, eating area, living room.

I found Giverny a little disappointing and it took up the entire morning. The place we stopped at for lunch was lovely but we had far too little time in Versailles. We arrived after 3pm and had to depart by 5pm.

The Dobsonian Telescope: A Practical Manual for Building Large Aperture Telescopesby David Kriege and Richard Berry
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This book tells how you can build a state-of-the-art Dobsonian telescope using readily available materials and supplies. Every step of construction is detailed in photographs and diagrams, and the underlying ideas are carefully explained. As a result of this three-year collaboration between authors David Kriege and Richard Berry, experienced and well-known telescope makers, you now have the opportunity to build a high-performance telescope from 14 inches to 40 inches aperture based on the thoroughly tested designs described in this book.
The Dobsonian telescope takes its name from the astronomer/philosopher John Dobson, who introduced the concept of inexpensive, large-aperture telescopes to astronomy. Amateur astronomers at the time were so amazed that a telescope built from simple, inexpensive materials performed so well that they could hardly believe their eyes. As home-built Dobsonians started showing up at star parties across the nation and people saw what Dobsonians could do, the word spread. In just a few years, the Dobsonian revolution swept the world.
Since those early telescopes, Dobsonians have improved dramatically. An entire generation of amateur telescope makers contributed their best insights and refinements to Dobson's original design. Today's Dobsonians are larger, lighter, and more precise than ever before. For example, it is possible to build a telescope of 20 inches aperture that is compact enough to transport in a hatchback automobile, yet takes only ten minutes to set up at a remote, dark-sky observing site.
Deep-sky observers especially appreciate Dobsonian telescopes. With the 20-inch (50 centimeter) aperture that the authors recommend for first-time Dobsonian builders, hundreds of globular clusters, thousands of nebulae, and tens of thousands of galaxies are visible through the eyepiece. Planetary observers have discovered that from good observing sites, Dobsonians deliver breathtaking performance on the moon and planets. For the casual stargazer, familiar objects like the Hercules Cluster, the Great Nebula in Orion, the Lagoon Nebula, and the galaxies of the Virgo Cluster are an entirely new experience.
Here are some of the topics covered in this book:
"This book is full of exceptionally useful advice and ideas, and is not only for those planning to build a telescope from scratch, but for anyone with a Dobsonian telescope of whatever design, who wants to see how they could improve its workings." Astronomy & Space
"If you ever wanted to build a really large telescope, the cornucopia of information the The Dobsonian Telescope will prove indispensable. Overall The Dobsonian Telescope is a terrific volume and wonderful accomplishment with little to criticize. It belongs on the shelf of every amateur telescope maker, and for that matter every Dobsonian owner. With its whimsical style and thorough treatment of the subject the book is destine to become a classic along with Albert Ingalls's Amateur Telescope Making and Jean Texereau's How to Make a Telescope." Sky & Telescope

K-12, MTB-MLE and FSL: education game-changers
I CANNOT understand why the Department of Education in its media releases about the K-12 bill exclusively harps on the end goal of adding a couple of years to basic education. As I have always held, it is the NEW curriculum with mastery thereof as its focus that makes K-12 a compelling necessity for our country.
These changes in curricular content and focus emanate from the bill's intention to do away with the bilingual policy and to affirm mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE). The bill provides that for kindergarten and from Grades 1-3, the regional or native language of the learners shall be used for instruction, teaching materials and testing. From Grades 4-6, there shall be a language transition plan so that Filipino and English are gradually introduced until these languages can become the primary modes of instruction in high school.
The transition plan addresses a critical flaw in DepEd Order No. 16, which limits L1 use up to Grade 3 only. Research has shown that "short exit" schemes lead to the same disastrous academic results as complete immersion in a second language (L2) that learners cannot speak.
The other laudable provisions of the bill are:
1. The science subject will now be introduced in Grade 1, instead of in Grade 3. This subject will also be taught in the L1 of the learners, and not in English. In the past, some people had this silly notion that by integrating science into the language subject, pupils will learn English. A legacy of the old bilingual policy, this idea has been repeatedly disproven by the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study that found students had higher achievement when the home language and language of testing were one and the same.
2. The basic curriculum shall be adapted locally to the language and culture of Filipino learners, including community values, to aid teachers in planning their lessons. This principle hews closely to DepEd's newly formulated policy framework for indigenous peoples which integrates indigenous knowledge systems and practices in all learning areas and processes.
3. The production and development of locally produced teaching materials shall be encouraged and approval of these materials shall devolve to the regional and division education units. Big books, primers and other teaching aids in the local languages are continuously being developed by teachers, but production is hampered by the long and tedious process of evaluation and approval from imperial Manila.
4. Finally, Filipino Sign Language (FSL) is now recognized as the learning medium in educating the deaf. This proposal actually reiterates a DepEd Special Education (SPED) policy way back in 1997. If finally carried out in practice, this will make education in our country inclusive to a sizable community whose learning rights have long been trampled upon by the dominant hearing population.
Meanwhile, there is another measure, sponsored by Rep. Antonio Tinio, which proposes to declare FSL as the national language of the Filipino deaf and to mandate its use in schools, the courts, broadcast media, government offices and the workplace. To support the bill's passage and counteract proponents of Signing Exact English (SEE), the Philippine Federation of the Deaf is organizing a march-rally on Nov. 5 at 8:30 a.m. from the Philcoa area to the Batasan complex.
In a letter to the House committee on social services, Education Secretary Armin Luistro stated that although DepEd was supportive of FSL, he was asking for two things: that FSL be clearly defined, and that "the period of initial and full implementation of FSL in deaf education" be delineated.
He said most of the DepEd teachers of deaf children were trained using American Sign Language (ASL), and the period of transition would allow DepEd "to retrain and retool its teachers in FSL, revisit and reproduce its learning materials, and develop FSL curriculum according to each area or region."
The DepEd stand has been denounced by the Philippine Deaf Resource Center (PDRC) as reflective of the serious blind-spot and attitudinal resistance afflicting the agency. The PDRC points out that FSL has been documented linguistically for a decade and that it is the decision-making bureaucrats that need to be retrained and retooled with the existing research on deaf education. The PDRC also suggests an affirmative action mechanism whereby deaf teacher education graduates can enter into the public school system without passing the LET.
As Diane Dekker of SIL said, it takes time for teachers and administrators alike to imbibe a totally new approach to education, like MTB-MLE and FSL. Here is the one major weakness of the K-12 program that critics have pointed out, and which I am in complete agreement with. DepEd should have factored in enough time for some kind of refinement process, say three years, before it can build enough capacity and resources to fully implement its flagship programs. The provision for such a period of preparation and the roadmap to get to where we are going should have been expressly written into the K-12 bill.

WALLA WALLA - Names can be a lot of fun.
Especially so in the world of sports, where there seem to be so many athletes with unusual and intriguing monikers.
Just ask Chris Berman of ESPN. He's made a living by attaching his own quirky takes to the names of our sports heroes.
Jim "Saturday Night" Lefebvre, Jose "Blame It On" Rio and Kevin "Alka" Seitzer are three of his more well known creations. Jose "Cask Of" Amalfitano, Gregg "Appa" Maddux and Dan "Man From" Gladden are just as clever.
But his best, in my humble opinion, are Nomar "Mr. Nice Guy" Garciaparra, Oddibe "Young Again" McDowell, Dave "No Man Is An" Eiland and the classic Scott "Supercalifragilisticexpiala" Brosius.
But it's not always necessary to accentuate names to make them interesting. Sometimes they just stand on their own quirkiness.
I was watching a baseball game the other night when my wife Margaret cruised through the living room. Kevin Slowey happened to be pitching for the Twins and Margaret took one quick glance at the TV and remarked, "That's a lousy name for a pitcher."
"You're right," I responded. "But he's not alone."
Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, I told her, there was a pitcher for the Phillies and the Pirates by the name of Bob Walk. And there's a reliever on the Rays staff right now named Grant Balfour.
That was as much information as Margaret needed and she disappeared down the hall. But my mind kept working.
The Marlins' Burke Badenhop, I surmised, is no doubt grateful that he is a pitcher and not an infielder. It's a wonder how someone like Mike Minor ever made it to the majors as a member of the Braves pitching staff. And there's a pitcher in the Twins system soon to make Berman's list: Anthony "Grand" Slama.
On the positive side, Derek Lowe of the Braves and Brett Sinkbeil of the Marlins are a couple of right-handers who make their livings by getting batters to beat the ball into the ground.
But, I thought to myself, this name game isn't exclusively for pitchers. Or, for that matter, baseball players.
Boston third baseman Adrian Beltre is slugging home runs again this season, probably because he's no longer playing half of his games in Seattle's spacious Safeco Field. Meanwhile, the Mariners can only hope that future first baseman Justin Smoak will provide them with some much-needed firepower.
Marlins infielder Dan Uggla really isn't, you know. Nor is Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder. And Rockies outfielder Ryan Spilborghs will probably never be asked to hock beer at Coors Field in Denver.
I love the name of Mets rookie first baseman Ike Davis, even though he's not from Yakima. Athletics center fielder Coco Crisp (it's a nickname) is a second generation cereal promoter, following in the footsteps of his father, boxer Sugar Crisp.
And you would like to think that Mariners outfielder Milton Bradley is a gamer, but not so. He's played in fewer than half of the M's games this season for one reason or another. I sometimes wonder if he has a clue, but the truth is he doesn't have a monopoly when it comes to underachieving athletes.
Without a doubt the most misleading name in the entire National Football League is Richie Incognito. Because at 6-foot-2 and 324 pounds, the Dolphins center is anything but.
On the other hand, Vikings rookie offensive tackle Phil Loadholt (6-8, 343) and Bills defensive tackle John McCargo (6-2, 307) are precisely what their names suggest.
Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey, Patriots tight end Alge Crumpler and even Rams tight end Todd Heap seem more suited to play defense than offense. But Colts linebacker Pat Angerer is properly positioned, as are linebackers Brandon and Takeo Spikes of the Pats and 49ers, respectively.
And where else would the Bills' Reggie Corner play besides cornerback? At the same time, doesn't it strike you as odd that Colts center Jeff Saturday plays most of his games on Sunday?
Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo sounds like a character straight out of the HBO television series The Sopranos, or maybe The Godfather motion picture trilogy. And Browns quarterback Colt McCoy's name suggest he might feel right at home in a rodeo arena.
Speaking of rodeo, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association is perhaps the most fertile ground of all for digging up cool names
I've been covering the Frontier Days Rodeo for years, and each year I've pondered the same question. Who really is the fastest team roper? Speed Williams, Jhett Jackson or Turtle Powell. But it's also possible Cash Myers collects the most money, or perhaps it's Buster Record Jr. who turns in the fastest times.
And another question. Is Matt Marvel, the saddle bronc rider from Winnemucca, Nevada, really a comic book super hero?
If you're looking for a name that's a bit more dignified, how about Oklahoma bulldogger Stetson Graves? And if a cowboy fashion statement is to your liking, try on Stetson Vest, the calf roper from Childress, Texas.
Some other rodeo names that conjure up vivid images of the Old West are Cody Cassidy and Cody James, Clint Cannon and Howdy Cloud, and Cimarron Boardman, Cutter Parsons and Twister Cain. And maybe best of all, Steve Dollarhide, the saddle bronc rider from Wikieup, Ariz.
Here's one from the How Can This Happen? Department: Omak bull rider Shawn Best II. Didn't Shawn's parents realize the day they named him that they were relegating their son to a lifetime of being second best?
And finally, there's Clint Bruised Head, a steer wrestler from the Warm Springs Indian Reservation in Central Oregon. With a name like that, how could Bruised Head be anything other than a bull rider?

News headlines are forever reporting diseases that take huge tolls on humans, wildlife, domestic animals, and both cultivated and native plants worldwide. These diseases can also completely transform the ecosystems that feed us and provide us with other critical benefits, from flood control to water purification. And yet diseases sometimes serve to maintain the structure and function of the ecosystems on which humans depend.
Gathering thirteen essays by forty leading experts who convened at the Cary Conference at the Institute of Ecosystem Studies in 2005, this book develops an integrated framework for understanding where these diseases come from, what ecological factors influence their impacts, and how they in turn influence ecosystem dynamics. It marks the first comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the rich and complex linkages between ecology and disease, and provides conceptual underpinnings to understand and ameliorate epidemics. It also sheds light on the roles that diseases play in ecosystems, bringing vital new insights to landscape management issues in particular. While the ecological context is a key piece of the puzzle, effective control and understanding of diseases requires the interaction of professionals in medicine, epidemiology, veterinary medicine, forestry, agriculture, and ecology. The essential resource on the subject, Infectious Disease Ecology seeks to bridge these fields with an ecological approach that focuses on systems thinking and complex interactions.

Magnussen stars on debut to qualify fourth
Mar 15, 2014, 7:00 AM EDT
Kevin Magnussen has immediately thrust himself into the Formula 1 spotlight with a sparkling performance during qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix to secure fourth place on the grid.
The Dane, who is just the third rookie to make his debut for McLaren after Alain Prost and Lewis Hamilton, managed to keep his cool in the wet conditions and produce a fine lap in Q3 to qualify fourth. Having finished in second place in Q1 and easily made it through Q2, Magnussen showed experience far beyond his 21 years, although he did admit to making a mistake on his final lap.
"Those were difficult conditions, especially as I've never driven this track in the wet," he explained. "It was quite tricky to get the lines and the braking points right. It was much trickier than anything I've done before!
"But I don't think I could have asked for any more today. I made a mistake and went off on my last lap, so I might have been able to go quicker, but I'm still happy. I'm proud of myself, but also proud of the whole team for doing such a massively good job of preparing me over the winter."
However, Magnussen refused to get ahead of himself, knowing that the true challenge will come tomorrow in his maiden grand prix outing.
"The race is tomorrow and so are the points, so we need a good Sunday," the Dane said. "I'll try to enjoy tomorrow and do the best I can."
Magnussen soundly outqualified veteran teammate Jenson Button, who failed to make it through to Q3 and will start the race from 10th place tomorrow (taking into account Valtteri Bottas' grid drop). However, the reigning Formula Renault 3.5 champion must now finish the job and look to pick up a good haul of points on his Formula 1 debut tomorrow.

Nice to see all the young bloods doing so well.
It's a new Formula and a new season.
Nice to see some a lot of new faces up front as well.
Congrats to Kevin on a great qualifying effort today.
- tobimobiv1 - Mar 15, 2014 at 11:01 AM
Absolutely right. Being Danish I'm very excited about Kevin being in a top team. Even if it is McLaren.

How to get back deleted solitaire and minesweeper
I managed to delete Microsoft games (solitaire and minesweeper). How can I get them back?
Sponsored Links:
Games not available in windows
I have just installed windows 7 Pro in my laptop. I am searching and can't find the usual games like solitaire, freecell and minesweeper. I have the games explorer but it is empty. Do i have to download this games, how and where can i do so?
No Games (like Solitaire) in Start Menu
Just finished a clean install of Win7 Pro. Haven't installed anything else yet, just looking around. There are no games, such as solitaire, in the Start Menu. There is a Games folder, but I think that's for online games. Where are all the usual games?
How to Restore the Default Games
This will show you how to restore the default Windows 7 More Games, Chess Titans, FreeCell, Hearts, Internet Backgammon, Internet Checkers, Internet Spades, Mahjong Titans, Minesweep, Purple Place, Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire games in the Games folder.
Technique to get back photos from recycle bin?
I had some photos which were saved on the desktop of my computer. Thinking that I have saved them in my external drive I deleted them. They were in recycle bin for some days and I deleted them from there too.
When I realized my mistake and wanted them back. I wanted to know if there is any method to get back photos which were deleted from recycle bin?

Recover Safely Deleted Video Library
My video library file was edited in such a way that it was "safely deleted" from my laptops hard drive. Now, you see, this is something that I never wanted and would have avoided at all costs. it just sort of did.
is there any way to get it back or to program another videos.library-
What's the best way to backup on Windows 7?
I have a laptop running Windows 7 that I share with my wife. I want to back up her User Files, My User Files and the Public User Files, pictures, videos, music, etc. I have a 250 GB WDPassport Portable Hard Drive that I use to back up to.
The total space shown on the Portable hard drive is 233 GB with Free Space of 213 GB.
Total file sizes to backup are as follows:
Wife 2.32 GB
Me 24.7 GB
Public 76.1 GB
I used to use Karen's Replicator to copy and, sync files but I found that because it kept the backed up files that I had deleted from the original directories. I tried using Windows backup but after letting it run all night, it told me that my total back up file size was 95 GB and that there wasn't enough room on the backup drive.
I don't know, if I have 213 GBof Free Space, it seems like 95 ought to fit in there twice, with room left over.
(I also used to use Sync Toy but we had an, almost, disaster, at work. We had made a bunch of file folder changes to a shared directory, so I deleted the directory from the backup drive, to"start over", and instead Sync Toy, seeing the files deleted from the backup, deleted them from the original.)
I do like the idea of being able to backup files in their native format, not have some wadded up ball of data that has to be "restored". What is the best way to do this? Free? It doesn't seem like it should be this hard.
Back up and restore: frequently asked questions
Here are answers to some common questions about backing up and restoring files. What backup tools does Windows provide? How much storage space do I need to back up files? How do I view the contents of my backup? How do I restore files? Can I recover files that I have accidentally deleted? How do I get my files back if my computer stops working?
How do I find the Trash Bin Folder on my Harddrive?
Is there a way that I can locate the folder where all the deleted files are kept until they are deleted permanently? My friend deleted some files on my computer and now windows wont start.
Restore Default Desktop Gadgets
In this tutorial I am going to show you how to restore the default desktop gadgets, in case you deleted / uninstalled some of them and now you decided that you want them back. In Windows 7 you will not need to search online to install them back again. So in this tutorial I'm going to delete some of them and then I'm going to show you how easy it is to get them back.
Remove Microsoft Games altogether from Windows 7?
I am spending much too much time with Solitaire. How do I get rid of Microsoft Games altogether - not just remove the feature, as I can always just re-check that box.
no games for windows 7?
i just want to ask if there is really no games pre-installed in windows 7. because when i installed it on my laptop, the games folder is empty. just asking for the free games usually included in old windows os like freecell, minesweeper, spider, and other games.
Restoring deleted files (empty recycle bin)?
So I had accidentally made a shortcut to a very important file, and without realizing it, I deleted the main file. I want to know if there is anyway to restore deleted files (after emptyingthe recycle bin) without downloading a program? I cannot afford to buy a program for that right now.
I did, however, find that my computer does still have all the files in the $Recycle.Bin, and I'm able to get to the area, but I want to know if I can restore the files in there by myself.
Data recovery: Recover Deleted Files
Sometime u delete important files accidently then the first thing you will do is panic.But I am going to teach you how you can recover your deleted files.
Batch File to turn on and off broadband
A while back I asked for assistance in turning my Win 7 Broadband on and off, I got some guidance about desktop Batch files to get the job done and installed my very 1st batch files. They worked great till yesterday and for whatever reason I could not turn broadband off.
I deleted the disable batch and redid it and still no success. I did a reboot after that install and that did not help.
So I decided to leave it alone till this morning shut down the PC and when I fired it up this morning both enable and disable batch file were back working as they should.
I'm not use to this because when Murphy's law slaps me I usually stay slapped for a longer period of time.
Back up your files
To help ensure that you don't lose your files, you should back them up regularly. You can set up automatic backups or manually back up your files at any time. Watch this video to learn how to back up your files.
Restore Recycle Bin to Desktop
Have you deleted the Recycle Bin accidentally from Desktop? In this tutorial you will learn how to restore Recycle Bin in Windows 7, back to your Desktop by following some easy steps.
What is The Recycle Bin?
The Recycle Bin is a folder with a fancy icon where files and folders that you have deleted are stored. They have not been permanently removed from your hard drive(s), they were only "moved" to this special folder. To put it simply: the Recycle Bin is the place where the references towards your deleted files and folders are kept.
Old windows games won't run on Windows 7
I love the old games of Freespace and Minesweeper, the ones that came out (probably?) with Win98. With Vista came new "sytlized-up" versions that I don't like--they are too fancy, harder to read, are missing some handy play features.
So, I blindly tried copying the old .exe files onto the Vista computer, did the same with cards.dll, and was pleased to see that they ran just fine. I did the same with an XP computer. This was great!
64-bit, running Windows 7 (64-bit), and I find that these applications will not run. In fact NONE of my old favorite (MS) games will run. I get an error sayingthat the files are incompatible with the current OS.
I'm guessing this means I can't run the 32-bit applications on the 64-bit computer, but why should this matter? or should I just give it up?

marginal answer
Posted by: rblturtle on Oct-03-12 11:28 AM (EST)
I reciently bought a low millage used 2007 Ford Focus wagon with a stick for $10,000. A lot of old people bought these,and a nice low millage one is not too hard to find. It hauls 2 boats and another paddler great,but may be marginal in rear seat room and cargo capacity for 4 adults on along haul. I get -35ish with it with boats and load on,+35ish without. It would depend how much you want to skimp for fuel millage. I'm real happy with it for my use.

Saab to recall 300,000 defective 9-3, 9-5 cars
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Saab, an arm of General Motors, said
on Thursday it will recall around 300,000 Saab 9-3s and 9-5s
from the model years 2000 through 2002 because of overheating
in the ignition system.
Saab would recall the cars to replace the ignition box
after a request from U.S. federal safety regulators.
"We will recall around 300,000 cars world-wide. A fault has
emerged where electric overload causes ignition box failure and
the engine won't start," Saab spokesman Christer Nilsson told
Reuters. "In rare cases engines have stopped while driving."
Nilsson said there had been three or four incidents due to
engines stopping while driving but that no people had been
He said the company would contact owners of the models
during the autumn and that ignition box replacements would
begin next year.

Weed Sells Like Hotcakes! Who Knew?
It's high time that potheads get some respect. Turns out, when you make their vice of choice legal, they will indeed turn out to buy it on the open market, even for a higher price, instead of working the old, familiar backchannels. According to Mic.com:
When Washington became the second state to allow legal sales of recreational marijuana last week, Seattle only had a single store, Cannabis City, open for business. It ran out of weed in three days. Cannabis City opened its doors for the first time on Tuesday with 4.5 kg of marijuana ready to be purchased. By the end of Thursday, it had all been bought. It's even more impressive when you realize that customers were only allowed to buy a maximum of 6 grams each, which means the store made at least 750 individual sales. …
Seattle wasn't the only city whose store was a (limited) success. Top Shelf in Bellingham, which made the state's first ever legal sale, set a new record with first-day sales of more than $30,000 thanks to serving more than 1,200 customers. It may be a surprise given how well stores did with their limited product, but not everyone is totally sold on the future of recreational marijuana in Washington. Retailers like Cannabis City have competition, both from medical marijuana (which is cheaper and often relatively easy to obtain) and old fashioned illegal marijuana (which is just cheaper). In addition to the in-state growing restriction, Washington applies a 25% sales tax on recreational weed, making it pretty pricey when compared to those other options.
The Western states aren't the only ones making news on the subject of recreational drugs.

Seattle: America's First Large City Approves a $15 Minimum Wage

Seattle, Washington's nine-member City Council unanimously voted to raise the local minimum wage to $15 an hour, more than double the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. It won't happen immediately: The hourly minimum wage will jump to $11 an hour starting next year for large employers like Starbucks, and then according to the Times, "will rise to $15 by 2017 for employers with more than 500 workers that do not provide health insurance, and by 2018 for those large employers who do."

Rebecca "Rebel" Blue is no Cinderella type, but when she slips into a "good" girl's shoes, she learns a lot about herself. It all starts when 16-year-old Rebel meets do-gooder Kennedy Green in detention. Their assignment is to create a bucket list of things they want to accomplish before they die, and while Rebel brushes off the assignment, Kennedy takes it seriously. The next day, when the news that Kennedy has been killed spreads through school, Rebel feels obliged to take on Kennedy's list. In doing so, Rebel uncharacteristically becomes involved in some fairly noble acts, like participating in community service and random kindnesses. Meanwhile, she falls for a high-achieving jock—definitely not her usual type—and befriends a pie-baking fanatic. Coriell's (Welcome, Caller, This is Chloe) offbeat premise and unconventional heroine make for a fresh, lively story sharply punctuated by wit and romance. Rebel's unlikely evolution comes across as plausible as she catches glimpses of her own needs while she ponders Kennedy's desires. Admitting how much she needs other people proves to be Rebel's greatest challenge of all. Ages 12–18. (Oct.)

Newton tops unconventional list of quarterbacks
While he spent much of the spring in San Diego working with QB coach George Whitfield on becoming a more complete quarterback, Newton spent more time in media interviews and even in private meetings with teams the past few months addressing concerns over his off-field behavior.
Newton completed a diversion program in 2008 and had the Florida charges dropped, and he has publicly acknowledged doing wrong while at the school. Reports after the Combine and his meetings with teams at their facilities are that he has been candid and addressed his growth as a person.
"My biggest thing is everybody has a learning process that they go through," Newton said at the Combine. "For me, that learning process happened three years ago, the mistakes that I made (at) Florida (have) made me the person that I am today."
As for where he stands among the top four, Newton certainly believes he is worthy of the top pick. His take on that, though, reflects what people are asking about him.
"I'm just going to continuously work on my craft throughout the day to make me a better person," Newton said. "I'm not really focused on comparing myself to this person or comparing myself to that person. I'm just going to continue to focus on Cam Newton to make him the best person that he can be."


text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 221057 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 557 AM CDT Fri May 22 2015 .DISCUSSION... Issued at 307 AM CDT FRI MAY 22 2015 Large upper trough over the western U.S. will bring quite a bit of wet weather to our area over the holiday weekend as it slowly moves eastward. First round of precipitation could affect areas near and south of the KC area as early as this afternoon, though this activity will be encountering low-level ridging and some dry low-level air by the time it makes it this far east. Therefore anything that falls today or tonight should be fairly light and scattered in nature, and shouldn`t be enough to really spoil outdoor activities. More widespread rain and thunderstorms will begin moving into the area on Saturday and really pick up in coverage and intensity Saturday night and Sunday. Persistent 30-40 kt LLJ through this period will transport increasing moisture with precipitable water values reaching the 1.5" to 1.8" range Saturday night. This moisture combined with steady isentropic ascent and broad synoptic ascent ahead of the main upper wave will favor several round of rain and thunderstorms Saturday night into Sunday evening. Instability will be weak and not too favorable for strong storms or torrential downpours, although magnitude of moisture transport and warm cloud depth alone could favor some areas of heavy rain. Additionally, with southerly flow all the way from the surface to the tropopause, some lines of training storms could develop capable of dropping localized rainfall amounts of 1" to 2" or even higher particularly across areas near the KS/MO state line. Things will become somewhat drier by Monday as the primary upper trough axis swings through and allows warmer air to build into the region. This however will allow the atmosphere to become quite a bit more unstable which could cause scattered storms to develop during the afternoon. Wind shear will be fairly weak but couldn`t rule out a few stronger storms if the airmass can become moderately to strongly unstable as the GFS suggests. Broad southwest upper flow will continue for much of next week. Combination of an unstable airmass and random perturbations in the upper flow could spark scattered storms any day next week. Shear will be weak so the threat for any organized severe storms or widespread heavy rain looks low. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday Morning) Issued at 556 AM CDT FRI MAY 22 2015 Large area of rain over KS and OK will weaken significantly by the time it gets this far east later today. Other than a few isolated showers or sprinkles this afternoon, most of the day should be dry. Slightly better chances for scattered showers will arrive late tonight. Overall wind pattern will be to go from southwesterly to southeasterly through the day, although they could vary quite a bit occasionally due to the light nature. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Johnny Boychuk's status unknown after crashing into boards
|10.31.13 at 10:44 pm ET
Johnny Boychuk suffered an injury crashing into the boards on his third shift of the second period Thursday night against the Ducks. He did not return to the game, as he missed the final 34:39 of regulation and all of overtime. Following the game, Bruins coach Claude Julien offered little update on the defenseman's status.
"He got hurt when he crashed into the boards," Julien said. "'¦ He wasn't able to come back, and from what my trainers have told me, we'll know more tomorrow morning. You can't assess these injuries as far as, 'It's a one-week thing, it's just a one-day, he'll be better, he'll be OK tomorrow.' They always have to let those things settle down a little bit before we get more."
The Bruins will practice Friday morning, at which point some sort of update could be given.

At least in Canada, many young people seem to believe that hookahs and other water pipes are safer than cigarettes, researchers say.
For a study that appears in the current issue of the journal Pediatrics, scientists in Montreal mailed questionnaires in 2007 and 2008 to 1,208 people ages 18 to 24 who had participated in an earlier study of nicotine use by teenagers. Three-quarters completed the questionnaires.
Of those, 23 per cent said they had smoked tobacco in a water pipe during the previous year, though most said they did so less than once a month. In the U.S., studies of college students have estimated that 9 to 20 per cent have used a hookah in the previous month.
The senior author of the paper, Jennifer O'Loughlin, a professor at the University of Montreal, said there were several widespread myths about water pipes. "One myth is that because the texture is smoother, it is less toxic, and the water filters out the toxins,'' O'Loughlin said. "That is not at all true.'' In fact, she said, the pipes may expose smokers to higher amounts of nicotine and heavy metals than cigarettes. — New York Times News Service

July 23, 2002,
The Bloomberg administration has concluded that many
of the audio and written records of the Fire Department's actions on
Sept. 11 should never be released to the general public.
The administration, in response to a lawsuit filed in State Supreme
Court in Manhattan by The New York Times seeking numerous records
concerning the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, has cited a
variety of reasons for keeping the records secret. In court papers and
interviews, administration officials and city lawyers have argued that a
federal court order in Virginia has barred them from releasing much of
the material, citing its value in the government's case against Zacarias
Moussaoui, who is accused of being the ''20th hijacker.''
But lawyers for the administration argued that even if the order,
issued by the judge overseeing the prosecution of Mr. Moussaoui, were
amended or lifted, they would still have no intention of releasing
audiotapes of the Fire Department dispatchers, hundreds of individual
accounts of firefighters or transcripts of radio communications from that
The administration has argued that releasing these materials would be
an invasion of privacy for the families of those who died at the trade
center, and for the firefighters who responded to the disaster scene. The
administration has said that that because the requested information
involves ''interagency'' communication, it is exempt under the state
Freedom of Information Law.
''The records requested by The Times were compiled for law enforcement
purposes,'' according to legal documents filed by Michael A. Cardozo, the
city's corporation counsel. He added: ''Second, both the oral histories
and the radio transmissions, especially the 911 calls, contain highly
personal and emotionally charged material. Victims were recorded as they
were experiencing life-threatening circumstances, in some instances as
they were dying.''
Shortly after he was appointed, Mr. Cardozo said that the
administration planned to be much more responsive to media requests for
documents and records than former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's had been.
In its suit, which was filed in May, The Times rejects each of the
city's claims, arguing that much of the material -- some of which has
already been provided to reporters by family members and other sources --
reflects information and images that have been viewed by millions of
people through news accounts, documentaries and books about Sept. 11.
The Times argues that the Moussaoui order binds only the prosecution
and defense, not state and local agencies. The newspaper also argues that
Mr. Moussaoui's prosecution would not be compromised with the release of
this information, and that the interagency argument is also invalid.
''Information about the case permeates the country,'' wrote David E.
McCraw, a lawyer for The Times, in a response to the city's memorandum of
Mr. McCraw added in an interview yesterday: ''The disclosures would
not interfere with law enforcement, they do not reveal intimate personal
details that someone should reasonably think should be secret, or
constitute formal advice. These are documents that have huge historical
and policy value for the city as a whole. They are the accounts of
exactly how that operation worked from the ground level. That is
precisely the kind of thing F.O.I.L. is designed to make public.''
Included in the material that the administration says should never
become public are the oral histories given to Fire Department officials
by scores of firefighters and chiefs after Sept. 11. Administration
officials say that the firefighters and chiefs were promised
confidentiality when they gave their accounts, and that to release them
would violate that promise and reveal everything from opinions about the
city's emergency response to gruesome details of death and damage.
The Times, in its court filings, says the department has failed to
prove that any promise of confidentiality was made to firefighters, and that
senior Fire Department officials were compiling the accounts to create a
historical record.
Last December, in an interview with a reporter about the oral
histories, Assistant Chief Salvatore J. Cassano, then the Fire
Department's chief of fire operations, said: ''What we are trying to do
is capture the events of the day through the eyes of the firefighters who
were at the scene. It's for historical purposes.''
A former senior official in the Fire Department said yesterday that
the firefighters were, in fact, never told that their remarks would be
kept confidential. ''The histories are more than for historical
purposes,'' said the former official, who spoke on the condition of
anonymity. ''They are of great value to understanding what happened
there. I tend to think that people should be able to see them.''
The Times obtained roughly 70 of these histories independently, and
posted over two dozen of them on its Web site. The histories offer
specific and informed insights on what happened that day, candid
assessments of both the successes and the many problems that plagued the
rescue effort, and insights into how a future attack would be handled.
Mr. Cardozo said of the oral histories: ''The fact that they were not
intended for law enforcement purposes'' does not negate the fact that
''they are being used for law enforcement now. This is the principal
For its part, the Police Department initially released some records
and materials related to Sept. 11, including tapes of its radio
transmissions that day and a map pinpointing the last known locations of
officers who died. The records were all released on request, without news
agencies being asked to submit applications under the state's freedom of
information statute. The Police Department denied a request to review
phone calls received by 911 operators that day, citing a section of the
law that exempts from disclosure records that were compiled for law
enforcement purposes.
As the Moussaoui trial drew closer, police officials cited the
concerns of the federal prosecutors in denying access to additional
materials. If federal prosecutors were to drop their objection to the
disclosure, the department would decide case by case what materials it
would be appropriate to make public, said a police spokesman, Michael

Removed the back panel from the control panel which was 3 phillips head screws and 2 hex screws. Remove the front knob from the timer, this is completed by removing the round center plate on the knob by simply pulling it off and then remove the small plastic pin in the center of the knod underneath the round plate. The pin holds the knob in place and once removed the knob can be pulled off along with the plate behind it. Now from the back inside the contrlo panel simply unplug the wiring harness from the timer. Remove the circuit board from the timer also, it pulls off easily. There is one hex head screw holding the timer in place and once removed the entire timer assembly can be removed by rerleasing the right side and sliding the assembly to the right and out.Slide the new timer in place, secure with the hex head screw, reconnect the wiring harness and press the circuit board back in place on the bottom of the new timer. Close up the back panel and replace the front knob components onto the new timer and you are ready to go. In all it took about 40 minutes and saved me over $200 for a service call.

GM demographics aren't changing all that much
Mar 15, 2010, 9:30 AM EDT
Alex Speier of WEEI debunks the notion that GMs are younger and better-educated today than they used to be:
. . .there is a belief that GMs are younger than ever before, drawn from a
pool of graduates of elite, liberal arts colleges and universities
where they learned to value the sort of interdisciplinary analysis that
is now prevalent among GMs when they are making deals. Yet there is a potential to exaggerate or misread the tendencies in
the industry. Most notably, the idea that GMs are now younger and more
educated than ever seems at least somewhat misleading.
In 2000, GMs were, on average, 46.8 years old . . . In
2010, GMs are almost the exact same age, averaging 46.6 years.
That's what I love about these general managers, man. I get older, they stay the same age.
- ddt - Mar 15, 2010 at 9:51 AM
- (Not That) Tom - Mar 15, 2010 at 9:52 AM
It seems a bit disingenuous to use 2000 as a comparison year given that new-school guys like Dan O'Dowd, Dave Dombrowski, Billy Beane, and Randy Smith were already established.
Compare 2010 to eras like the 1980s and early 1990s and I'm sure you'll come to a different conclusion.
- Anonymous - Mar 15, 2010 at 10:52 AM
I actually doubt that the answer would change very much if you looked at the 1980's or early 90's. There were still plenty of 30-something GM's (Alderson, MacPhail, Dombrowski, and Duquette come to mind) to help keep the average age under 50.
- Old Gator - Mar 15, 2010 at 11:17 AM
Of course you're getting older, Craig. And if you keep eating stuff like horrible horsemeat and velveeta sandwiches you're going to keep getting old, too. Tofu burgers and soy cheese on multigrain roll with organically grown spinach, sliced onion and a little tomato – yes, you can offset the lycopene with fish oil – and you'll be as young and spry as when you left here by August, despite what you have just ingested.

Why eat rabbit food when you can just eat the rabbit?
- phunseetious - Mar 15, 2010 at 12:25 PM
Couldn't it also be that the retread GMs are getting older and new GMs are getting younger?
New GM age= 35
Old GM age= 65
Avg age = 50
New GM age= 30
Old GM age= 70
Avg age = 50
Then assuming that the retread GMs start retiring & new GMs don't start being chosen from older candidates that the GM average age will stop dropping?
- jwb - Mar 15, 2010 at 4:32 PM
1980: Average age: 55.3, STDev: 7.7
Youngest: John Claiborne, STL, 40
Oldest: Phil Seghi, CLE, 70
The average age is increased by about a year by Charlie Finley and Calvin Griffith, owners who didn't employ GMs. Pat Gillick (TOR) was a mere 43 then; Gene Michael (NYY) was 42. "Units Prague." A slice of pork roast and a bottle Pilsner Urquell?
- jwb - Mar 16, 2010 at 10:45 AM
1970: Average age: 52.9, STDev: 6.3
Youngest: Harry Dalton, BAL, 42
Oldest: Horace Stoneham, SF, 67
Missing: Ed Short, CHS
