RAMDisk is the right product for you if you have a disk I/O bound application that is small enough to fit in main memory. RAMDisk is also great for storing frequently accessed data such as temp files, page files and database index files. RAMDisk is a kernel-level driver that presents a standard disk drive to the OS, however, it stores and retrieves data from the system RAM on your motherboard instead of an actual, physical disk. Along with the Kernel Driver is a GUI that talks to the driver and allows the user to set various options as well as start and stop the Driver (create or delete a RAMDisk).
RAMDisk is Freeware (up to 4 GB disk size). Disks larger than 4GB require registration and a license.
Reviewing 4.4.0 RC32 (Aug 6, 2014)
I've tried this software and it's not good !!!
Instead I use SoftPerfect RAM Disk which is AMAZING and completely FREE...
Reviewing 4.4.0 RC19 (Mar 17, 2014)
Very usefull
Reviewing 3.5.130R17 (Jan 7, 2011)
For 32 bit OS I'd recommend Romex's VSuite over this one which works fine on my 64 bit OS.
Reviewing 3.5.130 RC14 (Dec 3, 2010)
Working perfect for me without any error on win7 no restart no freeze no crash 100% safe install and uninstall, I always create any size ramdisk daily or hourly when I want working faster with big file eg 500MB to 1,5GB as usually. Iv use the free version. Just type the disk size what you want and push start button and if you not need use anymore just simple uninstall from memory. Incredible speed harddisk in memory. This is the best tool that I ever seen for computers.
Reviewing 3.5.130 RC14 (Nov 15, 2010)
Very good program ! But my Win 7 hangs during shutdown because of thus app, so only 2 stars.

governments distribute antibiotics within their borders to pre-designated sites established primarily by local governments as "points of dispensing" (PODs). Most local governments, their partners, or other organizations expect to dispense the majority of countermeasures from PODs to large groups of people. Each locally designated POD, in other words, receives its countermeasures from state authorities, which in turn have received them from the SNS (CDC, 2008).
This workshop focused on the final step in the process: medical countermeasure dispensing from PODs and via alternative mechanisms to their populations. Public health planners have used PODs as the major framework for planning countermeasures dispensing, yet PODs pose some of the greatest challenges, including their location, design, operations, capacity, workforce, and a host of other factors.
The foremost problems arise from delays in starting and completing the initial dispensing of prophylaxis. Speaker Baccam illustrated that even short delays have striking effects on morbidity and mortality, according to various models (Baccam and Boechler, 2007). At the local level, where dispensing occurs, the degree of morbidity and mortality is impacted by at least three factors: (1) the time of onset of a post-exposure prophylaxis campaign (i.e., the time to deliver the initial pill), (2) the capability in completing the campaign (i.e., the time to deliver the last pill), and (3) the capacity of nearby hospitals to treat symptomatic patients. Symptomatic people need to be treated in hospitals. A community with limited hospital bed capacity will be completely overwhelmed with a high caseload and thereby experience greater mortality.
The three local factors were modeled by Baccam in hypothetical scenarios shown in Figure 1. In Case A, which is the most effective case, the prophylaxis campaign starts on Day 1 and is completed by Day 2. In Case B, the campaign starts on Day 2.5 and is less efficient, taking 4 days to complete. The unmarked black line in Figure 1 illustrates the time frame over which infected people, if there is no prophylaxis campaign, will progress from the incubation period to becoming symptomatic. In the absence of PEP, all infected people become symptomatic (Inglesby et al., 1999). In Case A, 100 percent of infected people are still in the incubation stage when they receive prophylaxis; they are prevented

What's in such a museum, you inquire? Oh, I don't know, how about..."500 vacuums spanning a century of progress"? (Click here for the press release).
Or how about some celeb models such as "the official vacuum cleaner of Air Force One and the childhood vacuum of Emmy nominated actor, James Earl Jones"?
Much of the collection comes from Tom Gasko, the museum's curator and a national dean of vacuum cleaner history and appreciation.
Admission is free. So next time you're staggering down historic Route 66 after a long day at the winery, be careful. You might get sucked in. Because it has vacuums.

Calmer Easier Happier Homework
Thu, 14 Feb 2013 10:29
Worried about how to get your child to do their homework? Then you might need the help of parenting expert Noel Janis-Norton whose new book Calmer, Easier, Happier Homework has just been published. With 40 years of experience working with children and families, Noel finds that she's asked the same questions by anxious parents time and time again. These are three of the most frequently asked questions....
Q: My daughter says her maths homework is too hard, and she wants me to tell her the answers. How can I help her without doing it for her?
A: When a child wants to be told the answer, it is probably because the parents have done too much for her in the past. We must not fall into the trap of doing our children's thinking for them. Homework is meant to be done by the child! So whenever you feel the urge to reteach what your child should have learned at school, do the following instead:
- - Ask leading questions rather than telling your child. Only when her brain has to come up with a sensible answer is she really learning.
- - Draw pictures and diagrams, using a minimum of words. If you are talking, it is too easy for children to nod wisely while their attention is drifting away.
- - Reflectively Listen * to her frustration and confusion. This will help her to feel heard and is likely to defuse her upset.
- - Descriptively Praise * her whenever she is brave and takes a sensible guess. Over time this will lead to increased confidence and motivation.
- - Talk your child through several examples. These should all be different from the sums she has to do for homework. That way, once she understands the principle or procedure from your explanation, she will still have to use her own brain to work out the sums she was given for homework.
- - Give examples that use much easier numbers so that your child can concentrate solely on the principles and procedures.
* Descriptive Praise & Reflective Listening are two of the strategies that I explain in detail in my new book, "Calmer, Easier, Happier Homework".
Q: It's always a battle getting homework done before bedtime. How can I persuade my son to get started earlier?
A: Parents want to know how to motivate children and teens to take homework seriously. One aspect of this is starting early enough in the evening that their brains are still alert so that they can do their best. One thing parents can do is to make, and then to enforce, a new rule, that homework and revision need to be completed to the parents' satisfaction before leisure activities can begin, eg:
- - Screens of any kind - television, computer, phoning or texting friends
- - Playing music
- - Going out.
This rule, sometimes called "Worst first", helps ease children into the habit of earning the goodies in life, rather than expecting instant gratification.
At first, your child may complain bitterly, "But when I come home from school I need to relax. YouTube (or Facebook or computer games) is how I relax!" Certainly children do need to unwind before they plunge into their homework, and it is understandable that they would prefer to do their relaxing in front of a screen. However, this option does not refresh or motivate; in fact, screen time saps enthusiasm for any other activity. So remember that people managed to relax without the help of screens from the dawn of time until only a generation ago!
A healthy snack and an active break is what will relax and refresh your children and teens, increasing the chances of their doing a good job on their homework. An active break could be a short bike ride, a quick game of catch, trampolining, star jumps, etc. This will help to prepare them to do their best on their homework.
Q: My children often complain that homework is "soooo boring". How can I get them motivated?
A: My book, "Calmer, Easier, Happier Homework" explains how parents can guide children into more enjoyable and productive homework habits. Until that happens you are likely to hear the word 'boring' quite a lot at homework time! Often 'boring' means that the homework is not entertaining, not particularly interesting, not what children would choose to do if they had a choice.
That is a legitimate feeling, but calling homework 'boring' is misleading. When your child says, for example, that maths is boring, the implication is that it is a fact that maths is boring. But it's simply not true. Some people find maths boring, and some people find maths fascinating. That is true of every school subject.
The word 'boring' in relation to homework can mean that it looks confusing or difficult. 'Boring' often means that your child has been sitting and listening and writing for hours, and his body is now itching to move and play. So when children say homework is 'boring', let's think about how they may be feeling:
"Maybe it feels like there are too many sums on this page."
"Probably you'd rather be outside on your skateboard."
"It's been a while since you had fractions, so maybe you're worried you've forgotten how to do them."
I am not suggesting that we correct our children when they use the word 'boring'. What I am recommending is that we do not use the word ourselves, ever. Let's set a good example. And let's remember to listen to the uncomfortable feelings that are often lurking below the surface.

McCaul asks Hillary Clinton to support his bill labeling Mexican cartels "terrorist organizations"
Texas Rep. Michael McCaul sent a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton today to encouraging her to support his bill that would formally label six Mexican drug cartels known as terrorist organizations. He also asked Clinton to develop a plan to aid Mexico in fighting the cartels. The Austin Republican's requests came as Secretary Clinton hosted Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa at the State Department. "Historically, Mexican drug cartels have been considered criminal organizations, the purpose of which has been financial gain," said McCaul's letter, which was co-signed by six Republican colleagues on the House Homeland Security Committee.

Just put in RAM and have problems
Well, I just bought a nice little gig of RAM for my Mac Mini (intel solo), and I put it back together and now a whole plethora of things has happened. For starters, this formerly quiet machine now hums and whirs like there's no tommorrow,neither iDrum nor Logic will open, and iTunes litterally will not play music. What is wrong? :oneye: Please help!
did you check the system profile to see if the RAM is at the right size? if it's not, you may have a bad stick.
This is my hardware overview:
That's all I know...
"Memory: 1.25 GB"
well that looks right then. you might want to try swapping them, into the opposite slots. if nothing else you'll be reseating them which may help.
also, it still could be bad RAM even if it does show up, it could be causing errors (i wonder if they would show up in the system log?).
Oh wow, I totally screwed up on this one... I forgot to plug in a wire in the front... its fine now. :D

Pressure mounting on Bahrain's troubled airlines finally claimed its first casualty after Bahrain Air ceased operations on 12 February and filed for liquidation.
It followed a bitter dispute with the kingdom's transport ministry, which had refused to extend its air operator's certificate beyond March until outstanding departure taxes of BD1.7 million ($3.7 million) were repaid.
That business failure came within weeks of Bahraini flag carrier Gulf Air's announcing its latest restructuring plan.
Speaking to Flightglobal two days before the liquidation filing, Bahrain Air chief executive Richard Nuttall outlined a litany of complaints against the transport ministry and the wider government. He said the authorities had hamstrung the carrier by demanding overdue taxes while simultaneously suspending its most profitable routes.
"The ministry of transportation decided that, if they were going to keep supporting us with traffic rights, they wanted to be paid what we owed them historically for departure taxes in a lump sum," Nuttall explained. "They stopped approving extra flights in peak seasons...and then with the beginning of the IATA winter schedule they disapproved a whole load of flying that we were doing. Perhaps 30% of our flying was reduced."
Bahrain Air had its flying rights to Dhaka and Trivandrum revoked in recent months, Nuttall said, while its Khartoum service was downgraded from a daily to twice-weekly service. Amman and Beirut were both limited to four-times weekly. The carrier's second hub in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, was "effectively closed down" by the Bahraini civil aviation authority, he added, grounding its connecting services to the Sudanese and Lebanese capitals. Charter services were also not being approved.
The reductions followed the Bahraini government's ban on flights to Iran, Iraq and Lebanon in 2011, which was prompted by concerns about civil unrest spreading across the region during the Arab Spring. Nuttall said compensation promised by the authorities never materialised.
"When Iraq opened up, Gulf Air's flights were allowed but ours were not," he said.
Disclosing its intention to file for liquidation on 12 February, Bahrain Air unequivocally blamed transport minister Kamal Ahmed - who sits on the board of Gulf Air - for the failure of the business.
"His decisions to restrict route approvals have cost the airline BD4.5 million in lost revenues over the last three months," it said. "The airline has also spared no effort to negotiate a solution."
Gulf Air, which saw its latest attempts to move out of the red hit by the local unrest, was pulled back from the brink in October, when the Bahraini government approved a BD185 million funding injection. Parliamentarians had previously vetoed a BD664 million rescue package. A subsequent board reshuffle saw chief executive Samer Majali step down, and Bahrain's deputy prime minister appointed to the role of chairman.
After warning that "tough decisions" needed to be taken in order to "ensure the long-term sustainability" of Gulf Air, the board subsequently outlined a restructuring plan aiming for cost savings of 24% within 12 months. But few concrete details about the restructuring have emerged,
Gulf Air steadily shrunk its route network and cut its ambitious aircraft orders throughout 2012.
Nuttall stopped short of criticising Gulf Air, but noted that repeated overtures to the flag carrier to form some sort of partnership had always been rebuffed. "Historically, Gulf Air has been very clear that it does not want to work with Bahrain Air and that it sees us as an imposter," he said.
Bahrain Air operated a fleet of four Airbus A320-family aircraft on routes across the Middle East and south Asia. Its A320s had 20% higher capacity than Gulf Air's, Nuttall noted, and were put to work on higher-density markets with an element of labour and visiting-friends traffic. This contrasts with Gulf Air's premium focus, creating uncertainty about what benefit, if any, the flag carrier will draw from its rival's demise.

Irrigation water has now been shut off to about 80 farms and ranches in Klamath County.
Eric Duarte's access to water from the Sprague River was shut off a week ago...
"They just said that we were shut off because there was a senior water right call, which would be the Tribe, which would be a 'time immemorial' right."
Duarte's water rights go back to 1864...but a recent state ruling gives the Klamath Tribe's rights priority.
"Nobody's saying that the Tribe doesn't have a water right on the river." Notes Duarte. "It's just that right now, it's just a quantification of the water that they've been awarded that's hard for everybody to make a living."
The Duarte family gets their drinking water from an artesian spring...but that's not enough water for his cattle.
Duarte says he's already having to sell some of his livestock...
"At the moment, I shipped two loads of yearlings yesterday. We're going to try to lighten it up a little bit as we can go."
Nikki Duarte is organizing an agricultural awareness rally that will take place Monday...
"It's all about agriculture, and agriculture will affect everyone. It's going to affect grocery stores, it's going to affect the city people, it's going to affect everyone."
The rally and convoy will begin Monday morning at nine at the Klamath County Fairgrounds, and will conclude at the bucket in front of the Klamath County Government Center.
Duarte is still optimistic that a water solution can be reached that will include 'off project' irrigators...
"There's plenty of water in this basin for everybody. We just have to sit down, try to get around the table of some sort, and negotiate a deal."
'If' those ranchers can get through this summer.
The shutoffs of irrigation water are continuing on the Sprague, Williamson, and Wood Rivers above Upper Klamath Lake.
Water could be shut off to about 180 square miles of farm and ranch land.

The Evader Next Door
Professor Joseph Bankman is quoted in a Forbes story about tax evasion, specifically tax evasion by small business owners who operate in a cash economy:
"'In terms of the tax gap, that's where the money is,' says Joseph Bankman, a professor of law and business at Stanford who was one of the first to warn that corporate tax shelters were spinning out of control. He is now studying unreported income. He argues the government needs to get tough now because honest businesspeople can't compete. 'It's an inefficient way to run an economy,' he says. 'Everybody is cheating like mad and the [pre-tax] rate of return in the sector goes down.'"
"These aren't some easy-to-vilify Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. They're Ma and Pa who run a successful, or a not-so-successful, restaurant."

"What you tend to have in your mind is a kind of a map when you begin: You know what kind of place it is, and you know where you're going," he says. "With American Gods, I feel like a kid from New Jersey who announced proudly that he was going to walk to California and see everybody in three or four weeks, and currently, I'm somewhere around Salt Lake City thinking, 'How the fuck did I get here? Why has it taken so long? And how the fuck do I get out of Salt Lake City?' When I went on my last book tour 18 months ago, I said there was no reason for anyone to write books the size of giant bricks. And I think the Gods of Authors heard me, and after the third or fourth time I said that, they said, 'Right, we'll get you next time.'"Not long ago, a journalist asked Neil Gaiman how he feels about the fact that, despite his large body of work--novels, comics, children's books, short stories, and so forth--he will be remembered solely for Sandman. Gaiman sneers at the question, but it's not an entirely unfair one, and he knows it. After all, Sandman was a hit almost from the moment the first issue, Preludes & Nocturnes, reached the stands in December 1988. Even now, its bound collections--10 in all--continue to rank among the best sellers in DC Comics' adult-oriented Vertigo offshoot, of which Sandman was the charter member.
The series spawned gushing praise: Norman Mailer wrote that it was a "comic strip for intellectuals, and it's about time." Tori Amos, whose songs often reference Gaiman, treats The Endless--the family of timeless gods who personify such forces as Death, Destiny, Desire, and, of course, Dreams--as though they exist in this world. ("On bad days I talk to Death constantly," she wrote in the introduction to 1994's collection Death: The High Cost of Living.) The title won more awards than are given for comics; it was treated, in fact, like literature, as though it were too special to be included among the panels-and-balloons riffraff. In September, DC will publish the paperback version of The Sandman Companion, a nearly 300-page book that explains every panel; no comic book ever received such elucidation.
But Sandman takes up just a few lines on Gaiman's bibliography. It took up years of his life and made him a comic-book immortal, but there's so much other wonderful stuff there. There is, for instance, the 1990 novel Good Omens, which Gaiman co-wrote with Terry Pratchett during the early days of Sandman. It reads like the Book of Revelation as penned by Monty Python's Flying Circus, with its Four Bikers of the Apocalypse and Crowley, "an angel who did not so much fall as saunter vaguely downwards." In February of last year, he released his third novel, Stardust, a beguiling tale about a man in search of a star fallen to earth and the woman he wants to wear it. Gaiman likes to say it was his one book that appealed to both his diehard fans and women prone to reading bodice-rippers.
Then, there are the various comics and graphic novels Gaiman worked on with illustrator Dave McKean, who contributed the covers to Sandman: Violent Cases, in which ancient Mob crimes seep into a man's modern-day life; The Tragical Comedy or Comical Tragedy of Mr. Punch: A Romance, in which memories of a demonic puppet and a crazy grandfather infect the narrator; and Signal to Noise, about a filmmaker dying of cancer who makes one final film in his warping imagination. In 1990, Gaiman also scripted another comic-book mini-series, The Books of Magic, about a bespectacled young boy named Timothy Hunter who discovers, with the assistance of four mystery men, that he possesses great magic. Not a few critics have tried to goad Gaiman into condemning J.K. Rowling for basing Harry Potter on Timothy Hunter, but he refuses to bite. "We all borrow from the same cultural stew," he insists. "Sometimes you take out a radish and return a turnip."
In each of these illustrated takes, as in so much of Gaiman and McKean's collaborative efforts, it's often hard to tell where Real ends and Dream begins. Flashbacks morph into strange futures, and the past leaks into the present until the people in the stories drown in overwhelming memories. These characters find no respite even in their sleep; their imaginations are their real prisons. "The path of memory is neither straight nor safe," says the narrator of Mr. Punch, "and we travel down it at our own risk."
But there, sticking out like a nun in a brothel, is The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, a story about a kid who, fed up with a dad who buries his nose in the newspaper, decides he's worth no more than a friend's fishbowl. And he'd keep the fish, too, if only his mother didn't demand his father's immediate return. The book has since become a kind of classic, ranking high on Newsweek's list of the best books of 1997. And it's something of which Gaiman has become immensely fond and proud--so much so, he's working on a second kids' book about wolves that live in the walls of a family's house.

The X Factor
X Factor Hosting Pool Narrowed to 6 — Which Kardashian Made the List?
The X Factor Season 2 premieres Wednesday, September 12, 2012 with newly-minted judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato in the hot seat(s). One crucial role has yet to be filled, however: that of the host! Casting rumors have pegged everyone from Leann Rimes to Stacy Keibler for the spot ever since January, when Season 1 host Steve Jones announced that he wouldn't be coming back for Season 2.
Now, TMZ is reporting show execs have narrowed the host potentials down to a shortlist of 6. One of the names on that list? Khloe Kardashian, the sassiest of the Kardashian sisters.

Course Description
Caring for a senior or elderly relative or friend or client at home may be one of the most gratifying and rewarding experiences of a lifetime, but is one that may also be filled with frustration, physical and mental weariness, and at times, resentment. Understanding the challenges and responsibilities of elder care, learning how to deal with day-to-day challenges and providing a safe and senior-friendly environment to loved ones is essential in the caregiving process. Encouraging seniors to stick to medication schedules, preventing dehydration and providing proper hygiene are essential in long-term care scenarios.
Learning how to safely transfer seniors in a variety of scenarios while at the same time protecting the caregiver are essential, as is learning how to deal with security and safety in the home of a senior diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Caring for seniors in a home environment also means providing care for the caregiver. Time-outs, support, dealing with difficult family members as well as the emotional, physical and mental strains of caregiving are addressed in this course.
Dealing with behavior problems such as aggression is also discussed, as are recognizing and preventing situations of senior abuse. Learning how to identify the warning signs of senior abuse and dealing with feelings of anger, resentment and stress are addressed in this course, and are as important for caregivers as they are for all family members.

Course Lessons
Lesson 1: Caring for an ElderTaking care of an elderly individual, whether that person is your parent, friend, or other relative, is considered a duty and responsibility in many cultures.
Lesson 2: Dealing With Day to Day ChallengesFrom one day to the next, a caregiver may face a number of situations that test our ability to balance time between family, work, and elder care -- as well as maintain a sense of humor.
Lesson 3: Safety First!Safety is a major factor when caring for an elderly person in a home environment. The first step for caregivers is to provide a senior family environment for the individual, whether it's in their own home or the caregiver's.
Lesson 4: Preventing ProblemsThere's no way a caregiver can anticipate all types of problems or situations that may arise in caregiving scenarios. However, there are measures caregivers can take to reduce the frequency of problems.
Lesson 5: Mobility IssuesTaking care of an elderly individual, whether it's a parent, friend, or relative, requires more than mental and emotional support, transportation to and from doctors' offices, and grocery shopping, cooking or cleaning.
Lesson 6: Dealing With Alzheimer'sAlzheimer's is possibly the most feared and least understood of diseases that afflict the human brain.
Lesson 7: Caring for the CaregiverAs mentioned earlier, caregiving involves physical, emotional, and mental involvement in the life of an elderly individual.
Lesson 8: Body Works and LimitationsCaregivers take care of elderly individuals suffering from a variety of common medical conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, incontinence, and strokes.
Lesson 9: Daily RoutinesTaking care of daily routines, such as meal planning and preparation, bathing, and dressing may be mundane.
Lesson 10: Behavior ProblemsDad refuses to bathe and all of a sudden Mom is talking like a sailor. Grandma accuses family members of stealing from her and Uncle George has suddenly developed an affinity for biting.
Lesson 11: Recognizing and Preventing Senior AbuseA study performed by the National Alliance for Caregiving and the American Association of Retired Persons determined that nearly 48 percent of caregivers to the elderly are elderly spouses, and that nearly 75 percent of them are women.
Lesson 12: Staying ActiveThere's an old saying, "Use it or lose it." This is very true, in both a physical and a mental sense. The muscles in the body and the brain need to stay exercised and active to perform adequately.
Lesson 13: Respite Care OptionsAnyone taking care of someone, regardless of age, needs a break once in a while.
Lesson 14: Finding HelpNo matter the situation, whether the caregiver belongs to a large or small family, in the middle of a city, or in a rural community, community services and professional help are available.
Lesson 15: HospiceFor many caregivers involved in long-term scenarios, the time for dealing with a dying patient must be addressed, and needs met.
