Product description
The Urban Life of the Ming Dynasty examines life in the big cities of the Ming Dynasty: Beijing, Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Kaifeng. The coverage includes information on the clothing of urban officials and residents, their diet, utensils, ceremonies, festivals, the words and deeds of the residents, commercial activities, plus the contrasts between life within the royal houses and life within an ordinary house in the city. This period of Chinese urban history is unique because although it developed from traditions of the Han and Tang dynasties, it also heralded a strong break with tradition. As the world started to modernise so did China, and this fascinating new book shows you how and where this first happened. Now available in English outside of China for the very first time, the Insight on Ancient China Series is published by Paths International in association with China's prestigious Hunan People's Publishing House.

Aggie women rally for 75-66 win over Nevada Wednesday in WAC Tournament quarterfinals
LAS VEGAS — A 9-0 second-half spurt as part of a 17-6 run and four players in double-figures sparked Utah State women's basketball to a 75-66 win over Nevada Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Western Athletic Conference Tournament at the Orleans Arena at Las Vegas.
In making their highest seeded appearance in the WAC Tournament, the second-seeded Aggies extended their school-record win total, improving to 21-8 overall, by winning their fourth game in a row and sixth in the last seven. Nevada ended its season with a 7-23 record. It was USU's first win over Nevada in a WAC Tournament, last meeting in the 2007 first round, won by the Wolf Pack, 61-60, in Las Cruces, N.M. The Aggies also evened their record versus the Wolf Pack all time at 9-9 overall and 8-8 as fellow WAC foes, as Wednesday's win was USU's fifth straight over Nevada.
Utah State advances to the semifinals of the WAC Tournament for second-straight season, and its three semifinal appearances have all come in the last four years. Wednesday's win improves to 3-6 in the WAC Tournament.
The Aggies advance to a meeting with third-seeded Louisiana Tech in Friday's semifinal round. The Lady Techsters defeated sixth-seeded Hawaii, 63-54, earlier today. Tip-off is set for 1 p.m.
Junior guard Devyn Christensen led USU with 18 points, while junior guard Jenna Johnson and senior forward Ashlee Brown added 17 points apiece with senior guard Brooke Jackson adding 15 points. Brown also dished out a game and career-best 12 assists, tying for second in school history, becoming the ninth Aggie player to distribute 12 helpers in a game. The senior forward also missed a triple-double with a team-best eight rebounds. Brown's double-double was her 11th of the season, breaking last year's season-best of 10.
USU was out-rebounded, 38-35, but had a 20-17 second-half edge. Jackson pulled down seven rebounds, while freshman forward Franny Vaaulu snared six boards to go along with a career-high three blocked shots, matching Brown for game-high honors.
Utah State also had a second-half advantage in scoring, rallying from a 32-28 halftime deficit, improving to 3-6 when trailing at intermission with two of the three wins coming over Nevada. The Aggies put together a second-half rally in their 84-72 regular-season win at Reno on Feb. 16.
Nevada was also led by a double-double, with Kate Kevorken netting 21 points to go with a game-best 12 rebounds. Emily Burns added 11 points while Kayla Williams netted 10.
"Two teams played a really, really, tough game today. Two teams full of players that really respect each other a lot. There's individual players on each team that you can't help going into your game plan really not underestimating," USU head coach Raegan Pebley said. "You look at a kid like Kate Kevorken and what she's done in her short time at Nevada. I think she has a huge, huge heart. We put a lot of pressure on Amanda Johnson, and you just never saw her fold. Her leadership out there was tremendous."
Utah State shot 27-of-56 (48.2 percent) from the field, including 5-of-12 (41.7 percent) from 3-point range, and the Aggies were 16-of-20 (80.0 percent) at the free-throw line. Nevada hit 42.4 percent (28-of-66) of its field goals, making 2-of-8 (25.0 percent) behind the arc, and 8-of-13 (61.5 percent) at the charity stripe.
The Aggies dished out 20 assists, while swiping seven steals as part of forcing 15 Wolf Pack turnovers. USU also had six blocks, which was one shy of its season high.

World Boxing Union
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (September 2014)
The World Boxing Union (WBU) is a boxing sanctioning body. The original WBU was founded in January 1995 by IBF European representative Jon W Robinson. It sanctioned boxing with various promoters worldwide
The WBU had a "golden" period between 1996-2006 when its title contests were often shown live on satellite and terrestrial television. The WBU title during this time could be compared with the early days of the WBO.
Until recently it was fully recognised by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) as a legitimate sanctioning body. WBU titles were particularly well recognised in Europe and Africa. WBU titles have been held by the likes of Ricky Hatton, George Foreman, Thomas Hearns, Baby Jake Matlala, James Toney, Johnny Nelson, Micky Ward and Danny McDermott.
After the death of WBU founder and President Jon W Robinson in 2004, the organisation honoured outstanding contractual fights and sanctioned various contests. The sanctioning body has now been reestablished in the USA after several years of being dormant. On 30 January 2005 the WBU was welcomed back in its birthplace in a WBU International title fight in which George "HitHard" Hillyard captured the crown.
List of WBU heavyweight champions[edit]
|Duration of reign
|George Foreman
|March 29, 1995 – 1997
|Foreman was recognized as champion after he was stripped of the IBF title
|Corrie Sanders
|November 15, 1997 – May 20, 2000
|Defeated Ross Purity
|Hasim Rahman
|May 20, 2000 – April 21, 2001
|Relinquished the title in order to fight Lennox Lewis for the IBF, IBO and WBC titles
|Johnny Nelson
|November 24, 2001 – December 4, 2001
|Defeated Alexander Vasiliev. Relinquished the title in order to concentrate on defending his WBO Cruiserweight title
|Georgi Kandelaki
|December 21, 2002 – January 2004
|Defeated Alexander Vasiliev. Kandelaki either relinquished or was stripped of the title
|Matt Skelton

Now that you have finally realized how a vending machine business can double your income, here are a few important things you have to consider before you go ahead and buy the vending machines that can either save or ruin your life. The very first thing you have to take a look at is your business plan or how you plan to go about the idea of running a vending machine business. Needless to say, this business is a financial investment that will require you to purchase a number of vending machines depending on the machine type and depending on your financial resources or needs. As a vending business coach for 20 years now, I have observed and studied that when placed in a prime location, soda or beverage vending machines generate the largest income among other vending machines. Just so you know, beverage vending machines were already existing during the time of ancient Egyptians. Ancient egyptians used a device that has been said to dispense holy water, at temples, after a coin deposit. Today, not only are these vending machines so popular and so convenient, they are also an instrument for a person to get rich, provided that a person is committed. If you think you have the financial resource for a beverage type of vending machine, then I suggest that you go for it. But if you want to take your time and make small investments first, then I will suggest that you go for bulk candy machines and just expand later on. There are other vending machines to choose from. Value your time and choose wisely the type of vending machines you think will best suit your needs. Remember, the choice is always up to you. If you have already decided what type of vending machines you will buy, then the next thing you have to consider is making certain that you will get the best value and functionality of a vending machine, and from there, move on to placing these vending machines in vending locations that are guaranteed secured and profitable. Getting secured and profitable locations can be risky. Scammers are almost everywhere waiting to get a hold of your money that is why it is of great importance that if you cannot locate on your own, you instead locate through the telemarketing service of a vending locator service, distinguished for its honesty and excellent service. Every company can say they are these three words but only a few can prove that they really are. Make sure that you gather enough information first about the companies you want to deal with and study them. I cannot stress enough how important that you do your own research first before you make any kind of decision. Researching may just be your number one defense against these good for nothing scammers. Starting a business, like success, always takes time. The pieces of information I have mentioned above are some of the things you will have to consider even if it is time consuming because those things might just be the only way for you to lay a firm foundation of great enterprises in the future.

Winemaker's Notes
(From 2007 Vintage) These wines come from the same vineyards that, in a year when a Vintage is "declared", produce Vintage Port. However, as they are bottled between the fourth and sixth year after the harvest, they mature more quickly and are ready to drink much sooner.

16-screen movie theater next to take stage in Village West
A $14 million movie theater is set to become the next major attraction inside the Village West entertainment and tourism district in Kansas City, Kan.
The Unified Government Board of Commissioners recently approved a deal pairing Unified Government with Phoenix Theaters LLC, to build and operate a movie theater complex inside Legends Shopping Center at Village West.
Village West is in western Wyandotte County at the intersection of Interstates 70 and 435 and is the state's top tourist destination. It is home to Nebraska Furniture Mart and Cabela's -- and adjacent to the Kansas Speedway.
When completed, the 65,000-square-foot complex will boast 16 screens and seat about 3,000 people. It is scheduled for screenings no later than May 2005, county officials report.
County officials said plans for a movie theater always were a part of designs for Village West and were a selling point in landing tourist attractions such as Cabela's. The theater will be constructed on land that is owned by Cabela's but will be leased back to Unified Government.
STAR bonds owned by Cabela's will be used to pay for construction of the theater, and the bonds will be paid off with sales tax generated by Cabela's, county officials said.
Warren Theatres, a Wichita-based movie theater chain, was slated to build a complex inside Village West. However, the deal fell through -- opening the door for Phoenix Theatres LLC.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Sad in it.
Does this mean they are part of Infospace? Or are they just using a feed/ have a partner kind of relationship?
Ian - will it get to the point where people just won't care what engine they use - as long as it gives accurate results?
It's not unattractive - but I dunno, metas........
Will people really pay Ł400 for a listing. And what do you get for that exactly? I mean how do they intend to promote you and what sort of ROI can you expect.
When will engines like these learn. Most site businesses can't afford Ł400 at a time. Okay, if you use it as a tax loss, but I'm talking about the smaller guys, the 1 man shows, so to speak.
There's got to be a market to serve them at an affordable price surely.
How does ripping off customers ever serve in the long run. Where's the long term advantage in that?
I would think that if they are charging that much then they don't expect the site to last a long time.
Do you think there could be a way of getting rid of them - warning potential advertisers about them? Or will word of mouth do it for us lol

Central Florida's loss in the Conference USA championship game has the Knights staying close to home for the holidays against Ball State in the Beef `O' Brady's Bowl. UCF (9-4) will make the 100-mile trip west from Orlando to St. Petersburg to face the Cardinals, who will carry a six-game winning streak in the Dec. 21 matchup at Tropicana Field. Ball State (9-3) received its first postseason berth since appearing in the 2008 GMAC Bowl, filling a slot for the Big East, which didn't have enough bowl-eligible teams to fill the league's commitments. UCF lost the Conference USA championship game 33-27 to Tulsa in overtime. Ball State went 6-2 in the Mid-American Conference.

While not quite as good as her previous book Unbound (Silhouette Nocturne), I enjoyed Guardian's Keep, Lori Devoti's second book in her series, but I found the heroine witch Kelly (returning from the first book which starred her sister Kara) a bit frustrating.
Kelly, who is supposed to be the logical of the twins, is incredibly impetious and does some really stupid things. She's the one that got her sister in trouble in the last book and here she goes through a gate to another world, not knowing ...more

I didn't read book 1 yet so this one introduced some people and concepts that were unclear. Other than that (which, of course, is my own fault), I enjoyed this book. I liked Kol Hildr, the guardian and really liked Kelly, the witch. They were a good match and the verbal sparring between them was very entertaining. The sex scenes were hot and heavy and well written. This was a totally different take on a "demon" gate. This demon gate was the portal to 9 worlds with many different creatures - incl ...more
Jul 18, 2012 Caro rated it 3 of 5 stars · review of another edition
This book was pretty good. I liked the characters, creativity, action, suspense and the steamy scenes. I was pretty confused or 'out of the loop' feeling during most of the book. I would read this again, but more to pass the time. I would enjoy reading the others in this series though and see what happens with some of the other characters. I liked the 'desperates' stand though, that was a really good part, I couldn't stop the smile during that scene. Enjoy

This is about a shape shifter who can change into a wolf. His job is to guard the portals between Earth and the other worlds. There is a witch who thinks that he is to blame for her friend's death after she went into the portal. She comes after him, discovers he is innocent, and they fall in love. Then then have to battle their enemies and decide if they will trust each other.

I have completed building my kit to develop 8x10 sheet film using night vision technology.
1 - Viper Nightvision monocular or similar (ebay $240 US when I got mine)
2 - 1 LED Infrared lightbank which is out of range of your films spectral sensitivity (ebay $20 or so)
3 - 12v powersupply for the LED IR light bank ($10)
4 - Piece of diffusion material (I used part of an old light box)
5 - A clear glass tray to hold the film and chem
6 - Cardboard box around 12 inches high (i found it gave more even illumination to have some distance from the IR light array)
[COLOR=Red]*warning* do not look into the Infrared LED light bank with the naked eye, I was told eventhough you can not see any light it can still damage the eye, so be careful*[/COLOR]
The end result...
With the Infrared Light table and monocular, you have the ability to view your negative on a lightbox as it develops, and without fogging the film. My first test was just using a pre-dev'd neg to prove the concept, and the lightbox was bright, and I could see all detail on the neg clearly. I'll be having a real session with the setup the first week of january and will post back. I have attached a few pics..

You can't go wrong with anything written by Martin McDonagh. The actor playing "Billy" was wonderful and the actress playing "Mammy" was hilarious.
When a Hollywood filmmaker arrives at an island off the coast of Ireland to film his movie The Man of Aran, excitement ripples through the sleepy community of Inishmaan. For orphaned Billy Claven the film represents an escape from the poverty of his existence. He vies for a part in the film, and to everyone's surprise, it is the 'cripple' who might get his chance.

How to Freeze Peaches
Save in-season peaches for another day by learning how to freeze them. We'll walk you through peeling, cutting, and freezing peaches so you can use them year-round in recipes.
-To start the peeling process, X marks the spot. Make a shallow X on the bottom of each peach to allow for expansion while cooking. Bring a large pot of water to boil and lower in 3 or 4 peaches at a time for 30 to 60 seconds. Unlike lobsters, peaches won't make a pee. Quickly move the peaches to a cold bath of ice water. Let them soaked until they are cool enough to handle. Now the peeling, use your fingers or a paring knife to carefully peel the skin off each peach. Transfer your peeled masterpiece to a cutting board. Slice it in half around the pit and twist to open. Then cut out that pesky pit. If you like, cut the peaches into slices so they're super easy to use in recipes later. Arrange your peaches in a single layer on a freezer-ready tray. Pretend it's a junior high dance and don't let your peaches touch. Cover with plastic and take to the freezer to chill out. After freezing overnight, you can transfer the peaches to a freezer container. When you're ready to enjoy them, [unk] your peach slice and eat them with yogurt and granola and peach deserts and an other peachy keen treats.

Journal Sentinel book editor Jim Higgins highlights things worth reading, in print and online
Events of 9/11 still dwarf imagination of novelists
With the tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks approaching, the "imaginations" of creative writers are still catching up to it, writes Associated Press literary guy Hillel Italie:
"Scores of books, films and plays have narrated and analyzed the terrorist attacks, the causes, and the emotional, cultural and political effects. The responses have evolved from the quiet grief of Anne Nelson's play 'The Guys' to such international thrillers as the film 'Babel' to Joseph O'Neill's reflective novel 'Netherland.' But no fictional character or invented story has forced itself into our minds like the events themselves."
Italie talks with some writers who have taken on the subject, including Amy Waldman, whose new novel "The Submission" is "the story of architect Mohammad Khan, a nonobservant Muslim subjected to harsh accusations that he is a terrorist sympathizer with a secret plan to build a religious shrine."

For Chinese studying in US, graduating into an uncertain future
More Chinese students are enrolled at American colleges than ever before, but US degrees that aren't from Harvard aren't widely valued at home, meaning connections are still what matter most.
It's Saturday night, and Wei, a senior majoring in economics and math, is having pizza and French fries with his American roommates in the dining hall of a prestigious liberal arts college in New England. Soon they head out to watch football, then to a frat party.
By 2 a.m., Wei is back in his room, browsing corporate websites – Goldman Sachs, McKinsey & Co., Bain & Co. – to check out their recruitment process and job applications. He can't sleep, because he's worried about his future.
"I don't think I can find a job in the United States easily because of my visa status and the competitive job market," says Wei, who asks that his last name and school not be identified, as do the other students interviewed for this article. "But back in China, I have nowhere to go either. No one has ever heard of my college – it doesn't even sound like a university. How can I even get an interview?"
Also, coming from a middle-class family, he doesn't have the connections – or guanxi – that someone close to the Chinese Communist Party or from a prestigious Chinese university would have.
Wei's friends both in China and the US envy him for his seemingly bright future, and to a certain extent his predicament sounds like the typical angst of a college senior faced with the imminent challenge of meeting his own, or his family's, high expectations. But the challenges he faces are real, not least the lack of broad appreciation in China for the value of an education from an elite non-Chinese university that isn't Harvard, Oxford, or Cambridge.
Wei's dilemma points to an inherent contradiction in the trend toward undergraduate study in the US by young Chinese.
In just 11 years, the number of Chinese undergrads studying in the US has risen more than 10-fold, from 7,500 to 80,000, according to the Institute of International Education. Some families sell their homes and drain their savings to send their only child abroad to study.
Speedy success from studying abroad may have been true 10 years ago. But today, the reality is more the opposite: With the number of returnees increasing, many with qualifications that Chinese companies don't appreciate, Chinese society reverts to the old networking game – finding a job becomes all about knowing the right people in the right places.
In addition, many parents have unrealistic expectations for their child, often their only child, who feels the pressure.
"You are expected to fare well after your family has made this huge sacrifice," says Xue (not her real name), a recent US college graduate from Beijing who found work in the US. She is one of the lucky few to find a job through on-campus recruitment – and an employer willing to sponsor her work visa.
"At the same time," she says, "I have few connections that can land me a good job in a well-respected company in China. The fear of going home and not being able to achieve great things is overwhelming."
If going home poses challenges, so does trying to stay in the US. Under American immigration law, employers must pay hundreds of dollars per year or more for a foreign worker's H-1B visa. Foreign graduates without a degree in a high-demand field may find the US job market especially challenging.
For some Chinese, living in the US can also be socially difficult.
"When I go back to China, I find it hard to have much in common with my high school friends," says Xue. "In the United States, I try my best to blend into the more open social culture. I go to happy hour and watch football. Yet deep down, I know that I am Chinese."
Family and political tensions also complicate the equation. For only children, in particular, the parent-child relationship can be intense.
"I can't bear to live away from my parents. I call them at night all the time," Xue says. "I have missed Chinese New Year the past four years. I feel like I am missing out a lot."
Yet the sense of personal freedom and security here makes staying in the US attractive.
"The lack of academic freedom in China worries me," writes Jiao, an undergrad at Brown University, in an e-mail. "I wouldn't go back to do research."
Xue echoes Jiao's opinion: "A country with more than 200 years of democracy has a more stabilized legislative and judiciary system than China. Working in the United States feels more stable. There is the rule of law, plus courts and regulations to oversee procedures. In China, you never know what's going to happen at the party and to your family. "
"Young people my age generally are very frustrated with the pervasive corruption in the party," Xue adds. "We are waiting for changes to happen for a more meritocratic system to allow people like me to find an appropriate job and contribute to the country."
Maybe it is the wait for better conditions at home that motivates some Chinese students in the US to go straight to graduate school here after finishing their undergraduate degree. When asked about staying in the United States, Jiao's schoolmate Jie offers a typical answer: "Why? Why not? I will stay at least for a bit to go to grad school."
Grad school, at least, offers another credential to make him more competitive in the job market, either in the US or in China.
Despite students' pessimism, some employers in China recognize the value of an American college education. Among them is Adil Husain, the Pakistani-born CEO and founder of Emerging Asia Group, a consulting firm in Shanghai.
"I think a four-year liberal arts undergraduate education in the United States is superior to other options, such as studying in the UK or Australia," says Mr. Husain, a graduate of Middlebury College in Vermont. "The critical thinking skills, writing skills, and reading skills that you gain from a well-rounded education are the kind of skills that employers like us are looking for."
Meanwhile, Chinese high school students still dream of college in the US. Study abroad means meeting great people, taking great classes, forming a global network, and accessing great job opportunities, writes Panxi, a high school senior in Guangdong in response to a query on a message board.
As for Wei, he says he will continue his American student lifestyle for now: go to class, keep job-hunting, hang out with friends on the weekends, and catch up on studying in the library on Sundays.
Eventually, he says, he will "figure something out."

Here's some old (but good) stuff, mostly images stored on the hard drive of the computer.
In this instance, dateline December 16th 2006, you see the arrival and unloading of the Rockwell 11 inch metal lathe.
Picked up the lathe in Michigan, just 1/2 mile from the Chrysler proving grounds. Here it is, after a foggy night, over 24 hours driving time, 1431 miles and 6 states:
The lathe is lifted free and clear: (The famous garage door shot..)

The first warm day for quite a long time. I was at the lathe and shortly after starting it remarked to myself how smoothly and quietly it was running. Is it magic? Is it good Gremlins? Did someone add Seafoam to the headstock? Or has the warmth softened up the V-belts?
Perhaps that extra 30 degrees Fahrenheit helps?

Following quote is from a relatively recent thread on the Home Shop Machinist forum. The subject matter is the quite frequent "crashing cutoff blade" theme, which comes up a couple times a year.
Your problem may very well be directly related to any play you have in your cross slide screw and has nothing to speed, lubricants or rake angels of your cutting tool.
Most of my parting tools have a positive rake as Dian shows in his above picture, helps to curl the chip and gives a nice sharp edge.
I replaced the cross slide screw and nut on my Clausing for this very reason. It had .080 play in it, I had the same problem your having……. every time I went to part something regardless of material, speeds, feed rate, cutting oils etc. I always crunched the parting tool. I was so afraid to part anything I just quit doing it. The reason was the play in the screw. As the parting tool, especially a positive rake was fed in it would want to pull it's self into the cut and with .080 of play in the screw it would just dig it's self in and break. I tried negative rake tools which didn't work well and still would crunch, neutral rake cut a little better but would also be pulled in and crunch setting the tool height made no difference either.
Once I replaced that screw and nut I never had that problem again. I can part any material at any speed with or without cutting oil and even use the power in feed and it works perfectly, haven't crunched a parting tool since then, not even my .060 ones.
For the complete thread, please follow this link
I can well believe the above is the issue in many problems related to lathe operations. My crossfeed screw has a great deal of play (haven't measured it, yet) and I'm sure is well past due for a replacement for both screw and nut.
That will be the subject of a future blog post.

I find the following routine works for keeping a shop tidy, or even de-cluttering a messy shop.
First, on entering the shop is to put 10 things back where they belong. Ten little things – example: 2 wrenches, 3 screwdrivers and 5 pieces of sandpaper are ten things.
Second, clean a small area of the shop. Example: table saw top has stuff on it, clean it up; or a drawer is messy, spend a couple minutes cleaning and sorting.
Last, third, after the day is done, again put 10 items back where they belong.
Repeat this every time you go in the shop. After a short time you'll find it harder and harder to locate those first ten items, and you'll have large flat surfaces empty of clutter. Cleaning small areas will then become more an issue of re-arranging and organizing. And having everything in it's place is a huge boost to speed and efficiency, as opposed to spending 20 minutes looking for that particular tool you knew you were using only yesterday !

I often receive phone calls from clients, or potential clients, if I have any replacement spindles for their drill press.
Why ? Because they've been pounding on it forever trying to remove the chuck ( just as they were advised to do on the internet ) and now the spindle is bent.
My advise in these situations is that they would have been better off calling me before grabbing the nearest baby sledge hammer. Just a solvent soak, married with some patience, can eliminate the need for brute force
in most of these cases.
I'm amazed at how effective just soaking stubborn parts in solvent works. By soak, I mean immersed for a week, or better, two weeks. Using the solvent of your choice. There's a lot of nonsense in the web concerning what product is better – Kroil, PB blaster, WD40, even the latest concoction composed of acetone and auto trans fluid. I find it doesn't matter what, but rather how long.
Example; I recently encountered a Morse taper cup center stuck in a wood lathe quill. Pound, pound, pound,…… no go, of course. After a heavy spray in the threaded hole of the quill I set it aside. A few days later, I took a look and solvent was weeping thru the Morse taper at the end of the quill. Three quick raps with a pin punch and the Morse taper shot right out.
I typically use odorless mineral spirits, or whatever is in a spray can if I need to flood a hole or opening. Immerse the part(s) and let it soak. Try it after a few days. If you don't feel something move after just a few strikes of the hammer, …. STOP ! and let it soak some more. Effective with stuck drill chucks, threads, bearings, etc., etc.

ROBOCOPY sounds like a silly name, a little too influenced by Robocop movies, perhaps, but what it is actually is is the latest evolution of XCOPY command that dates back to Microsoft DOS.
I was tasked with creating an automatic backup for my wife's computer recently and though normally I'd just set her up with a Dropbox account, her computer is provided by her company and I'm sure their panties would get all tied up in a bunch concerning their proprietary information.
C:\Windows\system32\robocopy C:\Users\Gary\Documents E:\Users\Gary\Backup /MIR
The above is the basic script to first launch Robocopy, then specify source folder and then destination. The "/MIR" will create a mirror image of the directory tree.
To see all the options available for Robocopy, first, from the Windows globe button in the lower left hand corner, type CMD, hit enter, and the command prompt box will pop up.
At the command prompt, simply type robocopy /? and hit enter.
Now, I wanted this to run automatically on my wife's computer daily. To do so, launch the Windows Task Scheduler, for more details check out this on the Windows 7 Forum. At the point it asks for file or script, just type or paste the code in, click next. It will ask if you mean to add the arguments to your script, click, yes.
Naturally, you will need to specify the source and destination folders applicable to your situation. We did purchase a backup drive for my wife, but of course the software that comes with it is seriously bloated with unneeded features and an overly complicated interface. I played with it for the better part of an hour and couldn't get it to do what I wanted.

Now, granted, our own Maggie Lange recently uncovered that a large chuck of the "mean tweet" celebrities are asked to read aloud have been faked for our amusement.
But a skimming of the tweets read during last night's installment appears to confirm they are legit.
And, besides, even if someone on Twitter hadn't called 2 Chainz out for looking like Whoopi Goldberg, would it be any less #truuuuu?

text: We stayed 5/23-5/25 2015 for a family reunion. The staff was accommodating but not overly friendly (we're from Baltimore so we're use to less than friendly service). The place is dated but I'm ok with that as long as it's clean...unfortunately it's not super clean either. Not smelly, but there was mold in our coffee pot and the Pillows and... More
