Comp. Restarts after the frist cutscene
Ok. I've tried my hardes to get this game to work, but I just can't do it for the life of me.
I installed the game, got a bunk and all that good stuff.
I watched the first cutscene when Raz gets to camp, but after you wake up, and the weird over-excited kids run by and say "You don't want to be late for basic braining. It's the best, etc."
Some time between when he steps out of the cabin, and when the cut scene is over my computer restarts, all by itself.
I downloaded the patch, restarted my computer, turned off all the cool graphics, and downloaded the new drivers for my Nvidia card.
It still restarts.
When I comes back on it says "Windows has suffered from a fatal error."
Can anyone help me out?
Hmmmm. Check the event viewer and see if it specifies what caused the crash. If it blue screens, check the error message (ie: DRIVER_IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL is well, a driver issue) as well as what other processes/programs were running. Perhaps a sound driver update? If all else fails, DoubleFine should be able to help.
Well. I'm not sure why it worked, but now it does.
Thanks for your help though. And sorry for taking up space.

The second manned Apollo mission was planned as an open-ended earth orbital mission up to 14 days. Increased emphasis on scientific experiments as well as repeating some activities from the first planned manned flight would characterize the mission. (The first planned manned Apollo mission was ended by a tragic accident during a test January 27, 1967.)
Mir: The Mir-crew is preparing the station for the extension of the crew with another 3 persons. Therefore the life-support systems get special attention. The crew also modified the ASU (waste collection equipment) for the use by a lady. The crew is also busy with the loading of the freighter Progress-M24 with garbage and no things which are no longer needed. The Progress-M24 will have to leave the complex to free the docking port for the Soyuz-TM20. There have been plans to execute some test-approaches by the Progress-M24 after the undocking to try to unveil the causes of the malfunction of the Kurs system during the unsuccessful docking attempts on 26 and 30.08.94. After that operation the Progress-M24 will burn up in the atmosphere over a designated area in the Pacific ocean. Progress-M24 does not carry a VBK (ballistic return capsule).

6 weeks ago I was given a pair of Vionic Shoes. I know they may sound like space shoes or bionic shoes, but they're not. Vionic shoes have a breakthrough technology called Orthaheel that support feet better than regular shoes. This new technology is supposed to be beyond any kind of orthotic insert on the market and look be more stylish than most orthotic shoes.
The Orthaheel is already built into each Vionic shoe and can help ease aches and pains in your knees, back and legs, as well as help eliminate flat footedness.
Think your foot is getting longer? In reality your foot is collapsing because you're not getting the correct support you need from heels and flats.
I never really wear sneakers unless I'm working out and my high heel Nike Dunks don't count. Most days I'm wearing some sort of heel or flat dress shoe. Even when I wear my flats, by the end of the day my feet feel very uncomfortable and sometimes ache. My feet are very flat and have been for many years so, I was hoping Vionic shoe would help. When I go out dancing, I usually slip a Dr. Scholl's insert in my heel, which doesn't help much. So, I was excited to try out Vionic shoes.
After 6 weeks of wearing the Vionic shoes as much as possible (I even wore them around my apartment), I do see a difference in my feet. For starters when I wear the Vionic shoe all day, my feet don't hurt. No pain. No aching. I also noticed that I don't need to sleep with a pillow in between my legs as much anymore. The shoes are very comfortable and didn't make me walk funny, which is something I thought would happen with wearing a orthotic shoe.
No one can tell I'm wearing a "special" shoe. My shoe looks like any other shoe and the one thing I'm very impressed with is how trendy and normal the Vionic shoe looks and feels.
I'm a fan of these shoes and actually told my boyfriend he should look into a pair for the office. There's a collection of shoes for men and women and include everything from sneakers to work shoes, to wedges and even bedroom slippers. I've had such a pleasurable experience wearing these shoes that I will always keep a pair for summer and winter. I will continue to wear the shoes to see if there's a continue decrease in my flat feet.
I think these shoes are great for anyone who wants to stay fashionable, while taking care their feet. Vionic shoe is definitely beneficial for everyone but, if you work on your feet a lot or have back issues, then it's a must.

College Hockey:Catamounts Tie Crimson
Spillane Stops 35 Shots
BURLINGTON, Vt. — Buoyed by a sensational 35-save performance by sophomore goaltender Mike Spillane, Vermont tied No. 13 Harvard 2-2 Saturday at Gutterson Fieldhouse.
Spillane made 25 saves in the first and second periods combined, allowing the Catamounts time to solve the second-ranked defense of the Crimson (1.40 goals per game), which was stingy as usual.
"I thought he was spectacular tonight," said UVM coach Kevin Sneddon. "I think when they had the momentum in the second period; I think they were pumping in about 13 shots to our two. We kind of felt like the energy was on their side and Mike really kept us in there.
"It was a great college hockey game. It was up and down. They played great defense, we played pretty well from a defensive perspective and we had pretty much a full bench of guys that were really paying the price for each other and that's what I'm pushing for, is that consistency of that kind of effort."
"I felt very good," said Spillane. "I felt like I was seeing the puck well. [I] just really wanted to help be a calming influence back there for the guys, let them know [there was] nothing to worry about."
Vermont got on the board first, off of a hard-working shift early in the second for a 1-0 lead. Brayden Irwin banged home the rebound of a Peter Lenes shot at 2:05.
"We just got to understand that getting shots against good defensive systems is not easy," said Sneddon. "They're not always going to be from the area where you expect to score. What you have to do is take shots from off angles that may create rebound opportunities."
With less than nine minutes left in the period, a Crimson skater split the UVM defense with a pass onto the tape of Steve Rolecek who was in alone on the goalie. Spillane shut the five-hole to keep the lead. Seconds later, he made another great save, sliding to the right to deny Dufault cutting to the net.
Spillane's best stop of the night came with less than three minutes remaining in the period. Parked at the right post, Matt McCollum collected a rebound with a lot of net in front of him, but the goalie slid over to keep the puck out.
"He made a couple of point-blank saves that could've very easily cost us the game, so, he allowed us the opportunity to still be in it," Sneddon said.
The Crimson tied things 1-1, at 17:46 when Nick Coskren scored from inside the left circle.
Coskren tallied again at 11:14 of the third to give Harvard the lead on a puck that pinballed into the net off of an Ian Tallet shot.
Coskren also gave Vermont a chance to get back into the game when he took a cross-checking minor at 12:47. Colin Vock made him pay, collecting the rebound of a Dean Strong point shot and depositing it behind Kyle Richter (20 saves) to knot the game, 2-2, at 13:19.
"Dean got a nice shot off through the point, the goalie kicked out the rebound, it went behind the net, and I just pulled it to my forehand and put it in the empty net," said Vock of his third goal of the season.
Spillane was solid in overtime as well, making four saves to preserve the tie for the Catamounts.
"We felt we left a lot on the table scoring chance-wise," said Harvard coach Ted Donato. "We had a couple of breakaways, a handful of 2-on-1s and 3-on-2s and their goaltender played well. We're disappointed because we had opportunities we just didn't take advantage of."
Harvard (6-3-2) hosts the USA Under-18 Team Sunday at 7 p.m. while Vermont (3-6-3) hosts another former ECAC rival, St. Lawrence, next Saturday, also at 7.

"Organic" has been the buzzword in farming and gardening for quite some time. Health-conscious consumers are willing to pay a premium for organically-produced food. Whether in grocery stores, farmers markets, or CSA's (community supported agriculture), the food usually comes from producers who are "certified organic." This means these farms follow certain practices laid out by the USDA via the National Organic Program (NOP) such as composting, crop rotation, and using no synthetic pesticides or herbicides. This requires an inspection and certification process which is often time-consuming and rather costly. Since small producers often cannot afford the pricetag of the NOP, but still wish to market their organic wares, several alternatives have been created.
One of the most common programs is Certified Naturally Grown (CNG). The methods of production are practically identical to certified organic farming, but the program is directed toward small-scale growers. Inspections are most often conducted for free by other CNG farmers.
Participatory Guarantee Systems are a worldwide collection of organic quality assurance programs under IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements.) IFOAM's aim is to offer low-cost, locally-based guidance, support, and inspections for small-scale or poor farmers striving to succeed at organic production. These programs link consumers to their local farmers in order to develop relationships and establish accountability.
The Midwest has it's own organization dedicated to organic farmers: the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES). Based in Spring Valley, WI, MOSES offers resources to new organic growers. They provide guidebooks, a mentoring program, workshops, and yearly conferences. While not a certifying agency, MOSES does assist farmers though the certification process.
When in doubt about the practices of a food producer, it is best to ask, especially if they are local to you. Most farmers, and organic growers in particular, are happy to discuss their operation with their customers.

Common Core rants are happening all over America, in households where aggravated parents try to explain bewildering Common Core directives on their kid's homework. The standardized reading and math norms are bewildering at times, and even those with an advanced engineering degree are left stumped.
Enter dad Jeff Severt, whose Common Core rant on Facebook has gone bananas. MSN News on March 28 carried an article from Time, stating: "Common Core, this is not your week. First you get publicly dumped by the entire state of Indiana, then a dad with an engineering degree calls your math strategy 'ridiculous' in a viral Facebook post."
The convoluted Common Core problem that Severt and his second-grade son faced was this:
Jack used the number line below to solve 447 – 316. Find his error. Then write a letter to Jack telling him what he did right, and what he should do to fix his mistake.
The number line shows 427, and then counting to the left, breaks down the line into intervals of 100 and then into smaller, confusing points on the number line where values have to be assigned. And then a letter has to be written to top it off?
Severt expressed the frustration of the nation when he wrote:
Dear Jack,
Don't feel bad. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, which included extensive study in differential equations and other higher math applications. Even I cannot explain the Common Core mathematics approach, nor get the answer correct. In the real world, simplification is valued over complication.
427 – 316: 111
The answer is solved in under 5 seconds – 111. The process used is ridiculous and would result in termination if used.
Frustrated Parent
Severt's Facebook post is resonating with baffled parents across America and a story about the frustrated father on The Blaze has been shared nearly 62,000 times since last Monday.
Severt was a guest on conservative Glenn Beck's television show last week, where he said it's not just the parents that are perplexed – it's also the teachers who are tasked with trying to explain the befuddling standards.
"The teachers are caught up in this themselves," Severt said. "They are more frustrated than the parents!"
When asked how his son's teacher responded to Severt's homework reply, Jeff said she thought his message was "great" and, in fact, "totally agrees" with him and other parents.
Reports NewsMax:
"The Common Core reading and math curriculum, developed to get U.S. students ready for college and their careers, has come under fire by conservatives and states that don't want to adopt the standards. On Monday, Indiana was the first state to completely eliminate the standards from the state's curriculum, reported by The Indianapolis Star."
Indiana governor Mike Pence said his state's move to dump Common Core will pave the way for others to do so as well.
"I believe when we reach the end of this process there are going to be many other states around the county that will take a hard look at the way Indiana has taken a step back, designed our own standards, and done it in a way where we drew on educators, we drew on citizens and parents, and developed standards that meet the needs of our people," Pence said.
Common Core was adopted in 2009 in a collaboration between the Council of Chief State School Officers and the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices.
As a parent, I cannot tell you how many times we have sat, and stared, and puzzled, and Googled our 4th grader's Common Core math work. So on behalf of all parents made nutty over Common Core, we thank you Jeff Severt.
What are your experiences with Common Core? Let's hear from you below.

Various instruments and utensils used during milking as well as teat dip solutions were examined for contamination with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between contaminated fomites and udder infection in dairy cows. A total of 344 cows from ten dairy farms with the highest rate of clinical mastitis among the farms serviced by the Ambulatory Clinic of the University of Zurich were included in the study. Each farm was visited five times. All lactating cows, with the exception of those undergoing antibiotic treatment, were examined immediately before milking using the California Mastitis Test (CMT). A milk sample was collected from positive quarters. Items used to clean the udder, which included wood wool, paper towels and disinfecting towels as well as the milker's hands and the teat dip cup were swabbed for bacteriological examination. Water samples, samples of teat dip and cleaning solutions were also collected and cultured. Our results demonstrate that cleaning and disinfecting solutions have the potential to transmit udder pathogens and cause clinical mastitis. The most common CNS isolated from quarter samples were S. saprophyticus, S. sciuri and S. chromogenes, and the most common CNS isolated from utensils, cleaning and disinfecting solutions were S. fleuretii, S. vitulus, S. equorum, S. sciuri, S. haemolyticus, S. succinus and S. saprophyticus.

Friday is the last day to catch the work of Danish artist Gugger Petter at Andrea Schwartz. Part newspaper, part weaving, Petter's works are inspired by her passion for Renaissance art. In the series "Portrait of a Young Man," the male subjects reference the style of Renaissance portraiture. While her subjects retain the air and grace of the period, Petter has reversed their gaze to look out onto their audience, connecting them to our world and us. Instead of the flat, glossy surfaces of Renaissance art, Petter's materials tread an intriguing and ambiguous line between dimensional sculpture and mosaic.

CLEVELAND — A Medina County doctor is one of seven Ohio oncologists charged with importing cancer medications that had not been approved by the Federal Drug Administration.
The doctors were charged with causing the shipment of misbranded drugs, a misdemeanor violation of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, according to Steven M. Dettelbach, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
Dr. Su-Chiao Kuo, 60, of Granger Township, could not be reached for comment Tuesday evening at her office on Center Road, in Brunswick.
Others charged and the cities where they practice are Timmappa Bidari, 68, Parma; David Fishman, 62, Euclid; Marwan Massouh, 54, Westlake; Poornanand Palaparty, 62, Cleveland; Hassan Tahsildar, 55, Euclid; and Ranjan Bhandari, 56, East Liverpool in Columbiana County.
The doctors are accused of obtaining drugs, including Zometa, Kytril, Taxotere, Gemzar, Eloxatin and others, from outside the United States, where the drugs were not approved by the FDA, according to the charges.
"These doctors used drugs that had not been approved by the FDA," Dettelbach said. "Our office is committed to working with our partners to make sure patients are getting medicine that has been properly inspected."
If convicted, the doctors face up to one year in prison and fines up to $100,000.

The French government announced the approval of limited use of Sativex, a mouth spray based on the THC that is found in cannabis, for those who suffer from multiple sclerosis (MS).
Sativex was developed and manufactured by the British company GW Pharmaceuticals, to be used for those who suffer from spasticity and, although it is already approved in 17 European countries for it, it is still in drug trails in other countries like Australia, New Zealand, Kuwait and the United States.
A company the name of Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co Ltd. holds the U.S. license. They have exclusive rights to it here in the States for it to be used for cancer pain and the director of GW's R&D, Dr. Steven Wright said, "We are very pleased to have successfully completed phase II of studies supporting the efficacy of Sativex in Cancer pain, we are now working closely with Otsuka in preparing to develop phase III development of Sativex in the United States."
Otsuka and GW expect there will be a couple more Phase III trials before submitting a New Drug Application to the FDA for cancer and have, since last year, opened Phase III trial for spasticity in those who suffer from MS for efficacy and safety and expect there to be a rather large "target indication for the product in the U.S.

France hasn't been ready to jump on the bandwagon for medical cannabis in recent years, just like the United States it was like pulling teeth, but they have finally made that first step.
They still have some regulatory impediments to mire through, things like sitting down with the French National Agency of Medicine and Health Products Safety (ANSM) to work out national pricing and reimbursement procedures, but once that is completed, French patients should be able to receive the prescription only medication.
The United State's FDA is different in that the FDA is only suppose to look at safety and efficacy, not "national pricing" nor "reimbursement procedures" as to whether a medication is approved for use.
Their press release, offered up by GW Pharmaceuticals Chief Executive Officer Justin Grover stated: "The successful completion of this regulatory process for Sativex in France maintains our positive regulatory track record for Sativex, which is already approved in 22 countries, and provides further endorsement of the important role Sativex can play in meeting a substantial unmet need of people with Multiple Sclerosis. We look forward to working with our partners, Almirall, towards the launch of Sativex in this important European country."

a man named todd in the desert growing celery on a day with electric light
and I am a passer-through seeking some kind of truth behind the strip-mall facade of america and he is channeling it through the minerals in his plants and we are talking under a disproportionate amount of sunlight for november and he has known me for about 10 minutes and I can feel myself radiating some kind of energy out through my skin and as I get totally swept away in all the plans and perceptions I am talking about he looks me straight in the eye and says "your head is like an open funnel, isn't it, like someone just cut the top off and the whole world pours in and you can't keep it out, can you? That must be amazing. That must be very hard. You have a jump on people like me who have to work so much harder to be open and get at the wisdom of things." A few minutes later I am talking about the icarus project and he says,
"oh, you're manic-depressive, well of course, it all makes more sense now."
Later we are talking about being given access to visions of the universe, access to visions of its wholeness and the interconnected nature of love, access to a sense of time and space that allows you to discern what is and is not important, that makes it seem silly to fear death and easy to open your arms to everything you encounter. he is talking about getting access through years of meditation and I am talking about getting access through a few weeks of mania. we are talking about where we are lucky and where we are not. we are talking about getting these glimpses before you are ready to hold them in your head, when they are still so strong they can burn you, when the frantic attempt to keep knowledge of them burning in the center of your mind sends you spinning out into the abyss to do more work on yourself and try again.
We are talking about how this culture defines success as productivity. We are talking about how there is no place in this society for people whose productive work cannot be measured, for people who channel spirits and create art and roam the country spreading sparks of information and inspiration. And he says to me, so simply: "in this society the mystics will always live on the margins." And I nod and I shake my head, thinking how sad that is, and then my brain is flooded with a vision of driving through the desert near Death Valley, possessed by music and the accelerating dispersal of clouds across an iridescent sky, feeling unconnected in any way to the time and place where I was born but completely plugged into a time and space that has existed for millions of years, long enough to carve the lowest valley in the western hemisphere next to 11,000 feet of mountain and an unmeasured expanse of sky.
I wonder often who I could be if I was not born in this version of history.
I have to take drugs to fit all the realities around me in my head without exploding or disintegrating, because I cannot tune them out. I see things and they move me, hard, make me run around the globe, make me seek change, make me write furiously to have a place to put all the observations, paint furiously to have a place to put all the awe, and I don't know how anyone could do it any differently. Trying to work steady jobs has always seemed like soul death to me. I can't imagine wanting to be somewhere that long. Maybe I'm just young. It's not all that though. I know plenty of young folks who do just fine with a steady job and a television.
It's time to draw new lines on the map.
The map is full of boundaries. Boundaries that man created. Boundaries that are temporary. Straight lines over curved hills. Double lines between people who speak different languages. Blue lines for big roads with no stop signs that require bulldozing farms and old gas stations. Dashed lines for roads that pass by mountains, which are relegated to scenery now. At one point they were goddesses.
Have you ever felt like a mountain was a goddess? Really felt it? Stood at the lip of a wide valley and looked up at the thousands of feet of rock pressing into the stars and felt deep down in your bones that this was a divine being? And have you ever had to wonder, because of a label a nasty old man in a labcoat once gave you, if you only felt this because you were exhibiting symptoms? If you would even be finding yourself in the middle of the desert at all if you didn't have some disorder that made a desperate need to leave the city walls and quit your job and take off for an unpeopled expanse of dirt seem reasonable? Have you ever wondered if you would probably be in that city working behind walls if you agreed to swallow a bunch of pills? Have you ever wondered why other people aren't making pilgrimages to those mountains and feeling their holiness and understanding that buying stuff has nothing to do with happiness? Have you ever wondered if things would change in this big dying world if more people did that? Have you ever felt a desperate, burning need to share the message, to call it out in song or write it out in words or act it out with your own naked body? Have you ever wondered why this is ok for some people and pathological for others?
It is time to draw new lines on the map.
The map was made by men with measuring instruments. It was made by men with chains and money. It plots the paths people take that people before them have taken. It does not plot the paths we don't have a way to draw. It does not plot the paths that don't do well with grids. The map is all about ownership. this belongs to canada and this belongs to kansas. None of it belongs to you. The map is not about imagination. It is about defining the limits of the globe.
We need to imagine. We need to imagine a globe without limits: a planet. A planet that is part of something even larger than itself, something so big that words like stars and millenia are tiny like seeds before you can even see them, seeds underground waiting to create something enormous like a redwood out of light and air and mud and time and mystery. We are like seeds and we create words like milennia and madness that grow a world around us. We need to imagine a place for visions like that. We need to imagine an atlas where the experiences we label "psychosis" and "mania" don't get written off the map. Or quarantined to hospitals and penitentiaries.
I sit and I write all these words to you about how taking drugs isn't evil and consulting with psych doctors won't kill you. I write about learning to harness your fire. I write about consistency and follow-through and taking a sleeping pill before you get too high. And I mean it, because we live in a society that doesn't provide any guidance when we're flying or allow any crash space when we're coming back down. A society that will punish us by evicting or incarcerating us if we get too far from the one sanctioned reality: working life. A society where I honestly fear I'm likely to end up dead if I let my mind go as far into other dimensions of reality as it would like. But you know what""I miss my mania. I do. I miss feeling like my skin is so thin that the air between trees can breathe right through me and God's whispers can't help but get in my cells. I miss seeing the electricity of empty space stretch to the corners of my eyes just as clearly as the colors of music would interlace with every open road I've ever known across the dark expanse of my mind. I miss feeling millenia of human history pulse in my belly late at night. I think I really did touch on a set of truths that could help me live with a wide and peaceful mind if I could keep them with me, could help me live with a vision as limitless as the view I saw from a cliff above the sea on one of those "manic" afternoons""the ocean was silver and endless and far enough away that it became clear its waves were only skin on the surface of a body somehow at peace in endless motion, a body that opened to the horizon like truth and was no more separate from the sky than it was from me"¦ but I had to walk back down the hill that day and drive into the city for work and eventually the moments when I seemed inseparable from the magic of the world I inhabited slipped out of my grasp and left a residue of ink on the pages of my journal and a series of questions burned into my blood.

On Friday, the Oregon Live reported a story about Sirgiorgiro Clardy, 26, a pimp who filed a $100 million dollar lawsuit against Nike. The Oregon pimp is currently serving a 100 year prison sentence. In 2013, a jury convicted Clardy of second-degree assault for brutally beating a john that tried to leave a hotel room without paying. The jury also convicted Clardy for beating the 18-year-old woman he forced into prostitution.
The convicted pimp used a Nike Jordan shoe to beat the john, which required the victim to need stitches and facial surgery for his wounds. Clardy claims that Nike should have included a warning label that the shoe could be used as a weapon.
During the trial, Clardy, shouted out expletives at the judge, prosecutor, and jury members. Also, a psychologist declared him a psychopath who would continue committing crimes if released. Nike hasn't responded about the story as they haven't received the suit. Read more about this bizarre lawsuit at the Oregon Live website.

text: How would one go about starting a career in aircraft restoration? I read this blog and look at the pictures and it seems like the type of work I should have been doing the past decade despite having worked in a very different field. Do most restoration technicians have an engineering background or experience operating and/or maintaining aircraft? While I think aircraft are amazing machines, I must admit it's not something which I've had a deep interest. However, the idea of doing hands on work to bring these or other vintage machines back to life really interests me. I'm currently in the process of restoring an antique tractor and it has been very rewarding despite the fact I can only dedicate a few days a month to it. Any insight you could provide would be of great interest to me. Thanks!!

Low-impact inflow/infiltration investigation
Six Micromonitors placed throughout 4.7 miles of sanitary sewer showed significant inflow and infiltration was limited to two of six sub-basins. As a result, Clayton County Water Authority managers limited investigative efforts to homes only within those areas. Photo: Stantec
A Micromonitor is ready to be installed. An early concept for the device was developed by David Saylor, president of Indiana's South Haven Utilities Water Works. Photos: Stantec
Close-up of a Micromonitor inside a controlled flow flume. Measurements of the level and flow under controlled conditions develop the low-flow rating curve for the weir as a primary device before it's installed in a sewer pipe.
Stantec Consulting Services Inc. engineers demonstrate a Micromonitor installation.
Measure flows down to 1.0 gpm without a confined space permit.
Standard monitoring equipment can be unreliable in very-low-flow situations because debris sometimes obstructs the equipment, leading to inaccurate measurements.
Designed and developed by Stantec Consulting Services Inc., Micromonitors are fabricated fiberglass weir inserts installed behind standard area-velocity probes. The weir insert has a defined rating curve. At very low levels the weir is used as a primary device. If flow exceeds the limit of the weir's rating curve, the continuity equation is used to calculate the flow from the level-velocity data. The addition of the weir conditions the flow over the probe to prevent obstruction by debris, enabling the Micromonitor to measure flows down to 1.0 gallons per minute (gpm) — generally in low-flow sewer segments like those with only a few houses.
The device is installed with a street-level insertion tool, eliminating issues related to Occupational Safety & Health Administration confined space entry (CSE) requirements. Thus the Micromonitors efficiently adapt existing equipment and open up a new approach for pinpointing inflow and infiltration in upstream segments.
Without the need for permitted installation, rapid deployment is the hallmark of the micromonitoring approach. One person can remove Micromonitors from at least eight sites, download the data, change the batteries, recalibrate the meter, and install Micromonitors in eight new sites in one workday.
In-house micromonitoring can easily reduce costs to a couple hundred dollars per point measured, much less expensive than regional flow monitoring to find out how the entire collection system's performing. The process also identifies areas with the worst inflow and infiltration, limiting further investigation via intrusive techniques to only the homes in those areas.

Additional info: At Evan's suggestion attempting to hit https://18.104.22.168 through IE fails on this server. However, using standard HTTP instead (without SSL) brings up the Windows Update page. Other servers behind the same firewall can hit https://126.96.36.199 no problem, so it's not a gateway issue.
Windows Firewall is on, but there don't seem to be any outbound rules blocking https connections. I will try other https sites, and disable Windows Firewall as a next step.
Original Question I have a problem with Windows Server Update Services SP2, where the synchronizations to Microsoft are failing. Only those synchronizations are failing; all client computers are able to receive updates that have already been approved.
The synchronization error is as follows:
WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server --->
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

cookie, WebServiceCommunicationHelper webServiceHelper)
Microsoft.UpdateServices.ServerSync.CatalogSyncAgentCore.ExecuteSyncProtocol(Boolean allowRedirect)
I have traced the day this started happening as the day we installed Terminal Services Gateway on this server. I now know that TS is incompatible with WSUS, so I have removed TS Gateway and the included options, however I am still receiving the error.
I attempted to re-install WSUS (using the existing updates and database) and there is no change.
Running Network Monitor on the server, it appears that WSUS sends traffic to the Microsoft server, however it receives nothing in return. I have confirmed we have no outgoing firewall rules blocking the traffic, and to my understanding, since WSUS is initiating the connection, there should be nothing else required to allow the connection to proceed.
Has anyone come across this, or know of a solution?

I've just got a new computer with Windows 7 pre-installed. I want to keep Windows but dual boot Arch Linux (I've already installed Arch on another computer so don't need any help with that).
My new computer's a Samsung R530, and comes with Samsung Recovery Solution 4, which forced me to partition my hard drive before I could get up and running in Windows.
I'm a bit paranoid about installing Arch, because I haven't had much experience with partitioning hard drives. I don't want to accidentally remove the Windows partition (the computer didn't come with Windows install discs).
Does anyone have any tips before I go and mess up my new computer?

Frequently Asked Questions
Trade F.A.Q.
When was Stony Hill founded and by whom?
In 1943 San Francisco advertising executive Fred McCrea and his wife Eleanor bought 160 acres of homestead land on the west slope of the Napa Valley north of St. Helena. They began planting Chardonnay grapes in 1947 followed shortly by plantings of Pinot Blanc, White Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Semillon. Their first harvest was in 1952, and they sold their first Chardonnay in 1954.
Peter and Willinda McCrea, the founders' son and daughter-in-law, inherited Stony Hill in 1991 when Eleanor died and continue to run the business today.
Where does the name come from?
The name Stony Hill popped into their heads as the stones kept welling up out of the dirt as they cultivated their first Chardonnay vineyards in 1947.
Where is Stony Hill located?
The vineyards are nestled on the northeast slope of Spring Mountain, 600 to 1280 feet above the floor of the Napa Valley. The area is heavily forested with Douglas fir, native oaks and coast redwoods, and watered by numerous springs. Cool coastal breezes and fog influence the unique microclimate between Lyman and Ritchie Creeks, and rocky, volcanic soils stress the vines so that they produce small yields of intensely flavored fruit.
What are Stony Hill's key vineyard practices?
Fish-Friendly Farming Certificate
Napa Green Certificate
Erosion control plans and methods
Alternate row cultivation
Cane pruned
Dry farmed
How many acres of grapes are planted and what are the varieties?
#1 = 5.3
#2 = 3.1
#4 = 2
#5 = 2.3
#6 = 3.5
Total= 22.8 acres
White Riesling
#3 = 2.7
#8 = 1.8
#9 = 1.2
Total=6.05 acres
#6 = .2
#5 = 1.
#11 = 1.5
Total= 4.25 acres
#7 = 1.2 acres
Assorted Reds
5.67 acres (not commercial)
Total: 39.97 acres grapes
What budwood does Stony Hill use?
Chardonnay from Wente clone
Semillon from Chateau d'Yquem via Wente Vineyards collected by Charles Wetmore in the 1880s
White Riesling from Martini vineyards
Who is the winemaker?
Winemaker Mike Chelini came to Stony Hill in 1972, first as vineyard foreman and assistant winemaker, assuming full winemaking responsibilities when Fred died in 1977. Since then Mike has overseen both vineyard and winery operations, supervising six full time, year-round employees who hand tend the vines and hand pick the grapes. Recently Mike incorporated Napa County's Fish Friendly Farming and Napa Green practices in the vineyards.
What is Stony Hill's average production per year?
Stony Hill has averaged 3,400 cases between 2000 and 2009.
When was the first vintage?
What is Stony Hill's winemaking philosophy?
Winemaking today at Stony Hill continues the philosophy that Fred and Eleanor McCrea established when they crushed their first grapes in 1952. We believe, as they did, that the character of the wine is determined primarily by the unique qualities of our hillside grown grapes. Our goal is to translate the grapes' intense fruitiness into elegant and age-worthy wines.
When are our wines ready to drink?
People always ask us when our wines are ready to drink. Based on our experience, we find that if a wine has been cellared at a constant sixty-degree temperature, it will reach its prime in five to ten years. But since each vintage develops at a slightly different rate, and some people prefer young fresh wines while others prefer mature, rich wines, we leave that decision up to the individual taster.
How and where does Stony Hill sell its wine?
Direct mail to customers in reciprocal and permit states. (click here for details)
Through broker to CA restaurants and retailers
Distributors in AZ, CO, DC, IL, LA, MA, MD, MO, NV, NY, VA
Does Stony Hill offer tours and tastings?
Yes. Click here for details.

Are you ready to run?
Or, at least, are you ready to watch other people run?
Tomorrow, November 7, 2010, is the NYC Marathon, arguably the biggest race of its kind in the region. Now in its 40th year, runners will compete in the NYC Marathon for some $600,000 in prize money. It will attract runners from around the world to NYC.
It will also attract crowds, traffic and congestion.
Click Here for More Pictures of the New York City Marathon
So how should Long Islanders plan a trip to NYC to view the NYC Marathon?
Perhaps frustratingly, the NYC Marathon occurs as the Long Island Rail Road is finishing the system updates that have slowed passengers for weeks now, and the truncated schedule will affect those planning to make the trip from LI to NYC for the Marathon.. The limited LIRR schedule will impact participants and spectators of the NYC Marathon.
Those looking for direct service from Long Island to NYC's Penn Station should plan to take one of the following lines: Long Beach, Port Washington and Babylon. Those traveling via the Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Huntington, Ronkonkoma and Port Jefferson lines will have their trips affected, including delays of more than an hour coming into Penn Station.
All Long Islanders planning to attend the NYC Marathon are encouraged to check the Long Island Railroad website for updates.

Federal Pell Grant
The Federal Pell Grant is awarded to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or professional degree. Pell Grants provide a foundation of financial aid to which other aid may be added. The Federal Pell Grant is limited to 12 semesters, or the full time equivalent of 12 semesters. See below for more information on the new Lifetime Eligibility Limits. The Pell Grant is funded each year by Congress, which sets the award minimums and maximums. Pell may be awarded to full, part time, or less than half-time students. Pell Grants are considered to be need-based aid. A complete FAFSA required, there is no separate application.
Special Adjustments for Children of Deceased Service Members
The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 grants an automatic zero EFC for the Pell Grant Program ONLY to Pell grant eligible students whose parent or guardian was a member of the Armed Forces and died in Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001.
Eligibility Exclusions
An individual subject to involuntary civil confinement or civil commitment upon completion of a period of incarceration for a forcible or non-forcible sexual crime is ineligible for a Pell Grant.
Lifetime Eligibility
This is an exerpt from the Pell Grant web page from Student Aid on the Web:
Calculating Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used
The amount of Federal Pell Grant funds a student may receive over his or her lifetime is limited by a new federal law to be the equivalent of six years (12 semesters) of Pell Grant funding. Since the maximum amount of Pell Grant funding a student can receive each year is equal to 100%, the six-year equivalent is 600%.
How is my Pell Grant Lifetime Eligibility Used calculated?
Scheduled Award: The maximum amount of Pell Grant funding you can receive is calculated for an "award year." An award year is a period from July 1 of one calendar year to June 30 of the next calendar year. Your "scheduled award" is partially determined by using your expected family contribution (EFC) that is calculated from the information you (and your family) provided when you filed your FAFSA. Your scheduled award is the maximum amount you would be able to receive for the award year if you were enrolled full-time for the full school year. Your scheduled award represents 100% of your Pell Grant eligibility for that award year.
Percent Used: To determine how much of the maximum six years (600%) of Pell Grant you have used each year, the Department compares the actual amount you received for the award year with your scheduled award amount for that award year. Of course, if you receive the full amount of your scheduled award, you will have used 100%. Some students do not receive their entire scheduled award for an award year. There are a number of reasons for this, the most common of which are that the student was not enrolled for the full year or that the student was not enrolled full-time, or both.
If you did not receive the full amount of your scheduled award, we calculate the percentage of the scheduled award that you did receive. For example, if your scheduled award for an award year is $5,000, but because you were enrolled for only one semester you received only $2,500, you would have received 50% of the scheduled award for that award year. Or if you received only $3,750 for the award year because you were enrolled three-quarter-time and not full-time, you would have received 75% for that year.
Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU): The Department keeps track of your LEU by adding together the percentages of your Pell Grant scheduled awards that you received for each award year. The table below shows examples of the LEUs of three students who received differing amounts of their scheduled awards over a four year period.
|Examples of Pell Lifetime Eligibility used
|Student A
|Student B
|Student C
|Award Year 1
|Pell Grant Scheduled Award
|Pell Grant Amount Received
|Percent Used
|Award Year 2
|Pell Grant Scheduled Award

|Pell Grant Scheduled Award
|Pell Grant Amount Received
|Percent Used
|Award Year 4
|Pell Grant Scheduled Award
|Pell Grant Amount Received
|Percent Used
|Total Lifetime Eligibility Used - LEU
Note: From 2009-20 through 2010-11, it was possible for a student to receive up to two scheduled awards in a year. So some students will have a "percent used" of up to 200% for one or more of those years.
Of course, if a student's LEU equals or exceeds 600%, the student may no longer receive Pell Grant funding. Similarly, a student whose LEU is greater than 500% but less than 600%, while eligible for a Pell Grant for the next award year, will not be able to receive a full scheduled award.
How can I see my Lifetime Eligibility Used (LEU) percentage?
To view your LEU, you may log on to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Student Access Web site using your Federal Student Aid PIN. The LEU will be found on the Financial Aid Review page.

Star Jones Returns to The View, Recalls 'Ugly' Departure
Originally posted 02/22/2012 01:10PM
Star Jones returned to The View Wednesday – her first visit to the ABC talk show since her much talked-about departure in June 2006.
"It was ugly. Everything. It was a bad emotional time. Nasty things were being said in the media," Jones said after her former boss, Barbara Walters, insisted on discussing her exit, when the host abruptly announced she was leaving on the air, then revealed she had been fired by the show.
"I wanted to go out on my own terms so that if I walked back here I'd feel good about it," Jones continued. "I had eight fantastic years here. One was 'eh.' I came back to congratulate you on all you accomplished. I hope you congratulate me on what I accomplished."
NeNe Leakes: No Hard Feelings Toward Star Jones

She was the the reason she quit Celebrity Apprentice, but that isn't stopping NeNe Leakes from keeping it cordial with former fellow contestant Star Jones.
"Saying hello costs me nothing – that's free," the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 43, tells ESSENCE.com. "I'm not so in a rage that I can't say hello and I can't stand in the same room as Star."
The two famously feuded and resorted to name-calling on the NBC show, and their rivalry hit a peak when Leakes unloaded on Jones in front of a client.
NeNe Leakes: Celebrity Apprentice Was 'Toxic' for Me
Originally posted 05/11/2011 08:25AM
NeNe Leakes never had second thoughts about quitting Celebrity Apprentice. It all just got to be too much, she says.
"I don't regret it. I felt very good about it. I always do what my gut tells me to do," the Real Housewives of Atlanta star says in an interview airing Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
She adds: "I'm a grown woman, and nobody makes decisions for me. I make my own decisions. It was a toxic situation for me."
Star Jones Compares NeNe Leakes to a Wild Animal
Originally posted 05/03/2011 08:45AM
The last time the Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes sat down to talk with Ellen DeGeneres, she called fellow Celebrity Apprentice contestant Star Jones "a disaster." After Sunday night's vicious spat between the contestants, Jones appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show – and she didn't miss her chance to strike back.
"What were you thinking when NeNe was going off like that?" DeGeneres asks Jones in an episode airing Tuesday.
"I was thinking my grandmother is going to watch this," Jones says. "I was thinking I need to keep calm."
She also couldn't resist comparing her costar to a feral animal. "When you're confronted in the wild with an un-caged animal you're supposed to retreat," Jones says. "You're not supposed to attack."
NeNe Leakes on Star Jones: 'She Is a Disaster'

How does NeNe Leakes really feel about her Celebrity Apprentice nemesis Star Jones?
"She is bossy, she is manipulative, conniving," Leakes says. "And I'm not even being funny. I think that is real. I honestly think that is who she is."
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who appears on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Wednesday, tells DeGeneres that she and Jones were never friendly.

Star Jones is recovering from last week's cardiac surgery with the help of her fans – and a simple frozen pleasure.
"Thank you for all the good wishes and prayers … I feel them all," the former View co-host Tweets. By the way … who knew that ice chips could taste like steak!"
Jones, who turns 48 on Wednesday, had a heart procedure March 17 related to surgery she had 30 years ago to remove a thoracic tumor. Her rep told PEOPLE over the weekend that the operation had been a success and Jones was recovering well.

Russian flight controllers commanded the undocking at 3:23 a.m. CDT. Three minutes later, at 3:26 a.m., springs pushed the Progress 7 away from the aft port of the station's Zvezda Service Module. Expedition 5 crewmembers, Commander Valery Korzun, Astronaut Peggy Whitson and Cosmonaut Sergei Treschev monitored the undocking.
Progress engines did the first of two separation burns on command from Mission Control Moscow when it was about 50 yards from the station, at 3:29 a.m. The second was done at 3:35 a.m., with Progress 7 about 275 yards from the station.
Later this morning, at about 6:35 a.m., Russian flight controllers will command Progress 7 to fire its engines in a deorbit burn, which will send it to destruction with its cargo of trash and unneeded supplies and equipment. The spacecraft will feel the first effects of the atmosphere a little after 7:10 a.m. as it begins its fiery descent into the atmosphere.
The undocking clears the way for the arrival of a new Progress. Preparations are being completed at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for the launch early Wednesday of Progress 8, which will bring several tons of fuel, equipment and supplies to the space station. It is scheduled to dock with the ISS early Saturday.

Algebraic Music
More From This Episode
Don't freak out, but this game combines one part name-that-tune, one part doing-math-in-your-head, and a dash of The Proclaimers. It'll be fun, we promise. House musician Jonathan Coulton performs songs that feature a number in their titles, but the numbers have been replaced by algebraic expressions. Contestants must solve for 'x' to make the mathematical expressions in the songs correct.

20.77 billion dollars. That is the amount of money the video game industry made in 2012. Not impressed? Well, 2013 saw the release of the record breaking Grand Theft Auto V; the VIDEO GAME that grossed more than $1 BILLION is sales in just three days (and thats according to the Guinness Book of Records!). The video game industry has indeed grown to become a cash cow and since 1993, Hollywood has been firmly attached; generating more than $1.5 billion in revenue from movies that were based on popular video games. Despite the box office successes of silver screen adaptations of video games, there is a general feeling that Hollywood doesn't respect the video game industry; a feeling that the right type of effort has not gone into the production of some of the video game based movies that we've seen, despite the success of the video game.
As a fan of both movies and video games, I guess for me it boils down to quality; although it may seem to make sense for the developers of video games to have their hands in the filming of movies based on the games they create, it also makes sense for the selection of games that get turned into films be critical and meticulous because of the fact that the interaction of the original experience is being taken away. Not every game could or should become a movie. Dan Houser, co-founders of Rockstar Games had this to say about the idea of a Grand Theft Auto movie:
"We've been offered, many times, and it's never appealed. The money's never been close to be worth risking one's crown jewels. Our small dabblings with Hollywood have always left us running back to games. The freedom we have to do what we want creatively is of enormous value. The second you go near Hollywood, people seem willing, or have been forced, to lose a lot of that control." Ever since the advent of the motion picture, Hollywood has become a haven for film producers, directors and actors to make movies that either blow us away or just blow us. Just like how late night comedians exploit current events for their monologues, Hollywood often spews out movies that are obvious attempts to cash in on recent social events or trends.

The Game Boy Advance was a fantastic handheld system, and Wario Ware Inc. Mega Microgames is simply an amazing collection of extreme creativity. The game is odd in some cases, but that's just how Nintendo is! One of the boss levels, known as The Frog Flap, almost resembles a smartphone game. Click here to listen on Youtube.
Yoshi's Island - Flower Garden
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System is still one of the greatest gaming consoles to ever be released. Yoshi's Island is yet another masterpiece from Nintendo with some of the greatest gaming moments of all time. The Flower Garden level has some of the greatest music from the classic title. Click here to take a listen on Youtube.
Luigi's Mansion - Main Theme
One of the best games released for the Gamecube was Luigi's Mansion. From the variety of puzzles and exploration, it's clearly a classic and even had a sequel released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013. In the main theme song for the game, Luigi is actually somewhat singing, but only out of fear! Click here to take a listen to the spooky track on Youtube.
Super Mario Galaxy - Gusty Garden
To this very day, Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii is still one of the best games of all time. The music in the Gusty Garden level is fantastic and is clearly a landmark when it comes to music in video games. The music to the level is so good that they continue to create new versions of the track for newly released games. Click here to take a listen on Youtube.
Mario Kart 8 - Mario Kart Stadium
Yes, another wonderful piece of music from Nintendo's wonderful racer. The amount of effort put into the music for the Mario Kart Stadium racetrack is unbelievable. After listening to the track, you won't be able to doubt Nintendo's musical skill. Almost every song from the game is a classic so we can't list them all, but click here to take a listen to the track on Youtube.
Pikmin 3 - Garden of Hope
Pikmin 3 is an absolutely gorgeous game with beautiful music. The music in the Garden of Hope level is beautiful, relaxing, and might even be therapeutic to some players out there.

Super Mario 64 - Dire, Dire Docks
The term "classic" should never be thrown around, but when it comes to Super Mario 64, calling the groundbreaking game a classic is almost an understatement. Dire, Dire Docks is one of the best levels in the game with some of the best music from a Mario game. The music and the level itself go together like cereal and milk. Click here to listen on Youtube.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Zelda's Lullaby
It's obvious when someone says that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best video game ever created. When you finally approach Zelda in the game after avoiding all of the guards, Zelda's Lullaby plays and it's an absolutely beautiful song with an unforgettable memory. Click here to take a listen to the incredible track on Youtube.
Donkey Kong Country - Jungle Groove
Nintendo obviously knows how to create incredible music, and when they hired David Wise to create music for Donkey Kong Country, they clearly made the right decision. The classic Jungle Groove track quickly became Donkey Kong's theme song and numerous renditions have been released ever since. Click here to listen to the funky track on Youtube.
Super Mario 3D World - Hisstocrat Theme
Yes, it's yet another track from 3D World! One of the bosses you approach in the game is the Hisstocrat, a strange cat-like snake that can only be defeated when hit on the head 3 times. The amount of effort put into this track alone is absolutely stunning. The trumpets are continuously blaring and puts you in a certain mood when you attempt to defeat the creature. Click here to listen on Youtube.
Super Mario 3D World - Snowball Park
One last track from the classic Mario title is the music to Snowball Park. The track is a rendition of the Snow level from the 3DS prequel Super Mario 3D Land. This time, the music is all done live with actual instruments. The music in gaming has never been better and this is clearly a landmark when it comes to snow-inspired levels. Click here to listen on Youtube.
Earthbound - Onett Theme
Earthbound continues to be one of Nintendo's greatest creations and the Onett theme is beyond memorable when it comes to video game music. The only improvement that Nintendo could make is creating a full HD remake of the game with live music. Other than the fact that the game never received a proper sequel, the music is spot-on. Click here to listen on Youtube.
Wii U - Mii Maker
Remember the wonderful music when you created a Mii on the Wii? With the Wii U, Nintendo has done it again by creating a gorgeous piece of music to listen to while you're hard at work on creating your virtual character. The Mii Maker music is peaceful, futuristic, and downright beautiful. Click here to listen to the music on Youtube.
Wii U - Parental Controls
This may seem odd to some of you, but if you've ever listened to the Parental Controls music on the Wii U, you'll know that this could actually the best menu music that Nintendo has ever come up with. Sadly, a lot of us won't be visiting the menu, but that doesn't stop us from indulging in some wonderful music. Click here to listen on Youtube.
Metroid - Main Theme
The original Metroid music for the Nintendo Entertainment System is nothing short of a masterpiece. The music combined with the gameplay is harmonious. Nintendo had crafted something special when they were developing the piece of software. If you're a younger player and haven't heard the main theme for Metroid yet, you should!

The thalamic input to area 17 in the cat can be divided into at least 3 parallel pathways, the W, X and Y. While the latter two are some of the best studied synaptic connections in the brain, the former remains poorly understood both in structure and in function. By combining light and electron microscopy we have reconstructed in 3-D single W axons and described quantitatively the synapses that they form. We have also made a structural comparison of reconstructed synapses from the three visual pathways.
Thalamic axons were labeled in vivo by injections of Biotinylated Dextran-Amine into the dLGN. W axons originating from C laminae injections arborized in layers 1, 2/3 and 5. Axons that traversed layer 1 supplied a few descending collaterals to layer 2/3, but the most extensive innervation in layer 2/3 was provided by axons ascending from the white matter. Most W boutons formed a single synapse, dendritic spines being the most common target, with dendritic shafts forming the remaining targets. In layer 1 the area of the postsynaptic density of spine synapses (0.16µm2) was significantly larger then those of layer 2/3 (0.11µm2) and 5 (0.09µm2). Synapses from X and Y axons in layer 4 were similar in size to synapses formed by W boutons in layer 1. In layer 1 the main targets of the W axons are likely the apical dendrites of pyramidal cells, so that both proximal and distal regions of pyramidal cell dendritic trees can be excited by the W pathway.
