Well the XP Mode for Windows 7 is still kicking around. In fact Microsoft has just released it to Release Candidate phase.
The Win 7 add-on is designed to allow legacy applications to operate in a virtual mode. This is intended to allow for an easier transition to the new OS from XP.
This development is designed to allow Microsoft to finally stop support for Windwos XP. There are some prerequisites that will hinder this app though. For one, older systems that do not have either AMD-V or Intel's Virtualization will not be able to use this.
You will also need a virtualization engine like Virtual PC. There is no word yet on if this will work with other virtualization engines though.

After ten years of planning and over two years of restoration, the Central Library of Liverpool City Council's Libraries & Archives in Liverpool, England (not to be confused with the Liverpool Public Library in Liverpool, New York) re-opened on Friday, May 17, 2013. To celebrate the re-opening of the central Library, Liverpool held the In Other Words Literary Festival from the 23rd of April to the 19th of May, 2013. It included author readings, book swaps, story-telling events, debates, and poetry readings at venues throughout the city.
More than 4,000,000 items, including documents and books, have been re-housed in the Liverpool Central Library. The project cost £55,000,000.
The Central Library is located at William Brown Street, L3 8EW. It now spreads out over three contiguous buildings.
All three buildings are Grade II Listed Buildings on the Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. The Central Library has always shared what is now called the William Brown Library and Museum building (1860) with what is now called the World Museum Liverpool. The Picton Reading Room (1879), beside the William Brown Library and Museum, was the first addition and the Hornby Reading Room (1906), behind it, was the second.
Sir James Allanson Picton (1805-1895), the eponym of the Picton Reading Room and Liverpool's Picton Road, was a prominent architect from Liverpool, a local historian, and an advocate of public libraries. In 1849, he was elected to the Liverpool City Council, and two years later he became the founding Chairman of the Library and Museum Committee.
Sir William Brown (1784-1864), 1st Baronet, a wealthy merchant, banker, and politician, offered to pay £6,000 to build a dual-use library-and-museum building if the city government would pay to furnish it. Ultimately, he contributed over £20,000 and Shaw's Brow was renamed William Brown Street in his honor.
William Allom won the design competition but his design would have proved too expensive, so it was modified by a city employee, surveyor John Weightman.
On October 18, 1860, Brown formally transferred the building to the Mayor of Liverpool as the Free Public Library and Derby Museum. This building became known as the William Brown Library and Museum.
J.A. Picton laid the cornerstone for the Picton Reading Room in 1875. It was completed in 1879.
Architect Cornelius Sherlock designed the three-floor domed, semi-circular Picton Reading Room. He modeled it on the British Museum's Reading Room, which as an organization evolved into the British Library.
Hugh Frederick Hornby, an affluent resident of Wavertree Village who died in 1899, created the Hornby Library with a bequest. He donated his valuable collection of books, prints, and autographs to Liverpool, along with £10,000 to build the Hornby Library as an addition to the Free Public Library of Liverpool. Another city surveyor, Thomas Shelmerdine (1845–1921), designed the Hornby Library, which was built in 1906.
On May 3, 1941, the Luftwaffe bombed Liverpool, which had strategic importance to the British war effort as a port-city, in a concentrated attack, and a 500-pound bomb landed on the Central Library. [Over 3,000 people in Liverpool and neighboring communities were killed in the bombing campaigns in 1940 and '41.] Thankfully, many cultural treasures from the library and the adjacent museum had been moved for safekeeping in the 1930s.
To remodel and renovate the Central Library, it had to close in 2010. The Brown Library, built in the 1950s, and a 1978 addition were demolished.
The Central Library is now organized into thematic sections: Read, Discover, Archive, Treasures, Imagine, Enquire, and Meet. Most of the books in both the circulating collection and the non-circulating reference collection are in the Enquire section.
There are also public computers in Enquire. According to a leaflet on the Central Library,\
Enquire... is your first stop for information and where you will find most of the library's books for loan and reference. Specialist books are shelved in the Picton Reading Room, the perfect space for quiet study or research. There are over 150 public computers located mainly around the atrium on two floors and you can use them for e-mail, Internet, Office applications or to access the library's on-line resources. If you prefer quieter spaces then head for the 2nd floor where the north and south lightwells are set up for your WiFi devices. Budding entrepreneurs will love the Business and Intellectual Property Centre which gives free access to industry standard resources to help you start, run and grow your business. Practical assistance, market research and company information are readily available. Look out for the Patents Clinics that are held regularly.
The Read section is where one will find crime fiction, adventure novels, science fiction, true crime, biographies, graphic novels, large-print books, audio books, and language courses. This also where one would go to borrow an iPad or use the eBook service.
From Read, one can take an elevator up to Meet on the fourth floor (which Americans would call the fifth floor, as in the British Isles the second floor above ground is considered the first floor). Meet is the place to go to book a meeting room or enjoy the view from the new rooftop terrace.
The lecture theater has become the new children's library, which includes an area for tots under five years old. Called Discover, the children's library has story books, picture books, and reference books; computers; DVDs, talking books (on CD); performance space; and projection equipment.
The Archive has documents on Liverpool's history from the 13th Century onward. Collections include newspapers, photographs, maps, and directories.
The staff encourages Liverpudians to come here to do genealogical research or research on the history of the city or its districts. In a leaflet on the Central Library, they state the "new Conservation Studio helps us to preserve… [the collections] in a highly secure and controlled environment."
The Hornby Library and Oak Room are in the Treasures section of the Central Library. The staff invites visitors to "View the impressive Picton Reading Room, one of the most beautiful libraries in the world."
This is home to a Double Elephant Folio copy of John James Audubon's The Birds of North America. Published between 1827 and 1839, most copies of The Birds of North America were sold by subscription to patrons Audubon personally solicited in England and the U.S. The subscribers included King George IV and the Library of Congress.
Over 15,000 rare books include medieval manuscripts, early printed books, beautifully illustrated natural history and travel books, fine bindings, and engraved prints are here.
The Audubon and fascinating rarities are always on display during normal library opening hours with free access or you can make an appointment to view particular items. Interactive kiosks and displays tell you the story of these collections and libraries and further information is available on-line.
The Imagine section is where to go to find movies, music, books on pop culture, and video games to borrow. [Note there is a fee to borrow video games.] One can also listen to music and play video games there or access public computers.
Imagine… is where you can find feature films and television programmes on DVD. Choose from CDs covering contemporary rock and pop, country, folk, jazz, blues, world music and classical. Imagine also has books on popular culture, music, cinema and cult fiction so borrow the film and read about the director or stars, borrow music and find out about the composer or era in which it was written. Totally new to Central Library is GAME, a huge sound box where you can play computer games FREE on the Xbox 360 or listen to music streamed through a Bose© sound system. You can also borrow computer games for a small charge. It is a place where teenagers can meet friends, access free computers for e-mail and Internet or just chill out.
The new ground floor Deli Marche Café is open from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays. It has an outdoor terrace overlooking St. John's Gardens.
In addition to the Central Library, Liverpool has eighteen branch libraries. These are the Allerton Library, the Toxteth Library, the Breck Road Library, the Childwall Library, the Croxteth Library, the Dovecot Library, the Fazakerley Library, the Garston Library, the Kensington Library, the Lee Valley Library, the Norris Green Library, the Old Swan Library, the Parklands Library, the Sefton Park Library, the Spellow Library, the Walton Library, the Wavertree Library, and the West Derby Library.
The Toxteth Library is also of architectural interest. It looks like a manor house.
Liverpool City Libraries is one of six libraries in Libraries Together: Liverpool Learning Partnership. The other five are The City of Liverpool College, Liverpool Hope University, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, Liverpool John Moores University, and The University of Liverpool.
They grant reciprocal borrowing privileges. In other words, someone who has borrowing privileges at any one of these institutions can borrow books at all of them.

Track 10: "Watch 'N' Learn"
Sounds Like: The most lighthearted track off Talk That Talk that hasn't yet been released as a single. "Watch 'N' Learn" could almost be called sunny, with slight percussion taps, clicks in the background and sass in Rihanna's vocals. Producer Hit-Boy brings some of the same bass he set beneath the Throne to this track as well, but it's nowhere near as heavy.
Pros: It's nice to hear some levity from Talk That Talk and looseness to Ri's voice, even more so considering its counterpart on Loud, "What's My Name," was saddled with an unnecessary Drake verse. If for some reason you're listening to Talk That Talk all the way through instead of as disparate singles (yes, Navy, we know you've done that ten times by now, but let's not kid ourselves about how most others are going to hear the album), it's a welcome respite from the bog of heavier ballads.
Cons: Notice how often we've said "light" or synonyms for that? You can call "Watch 'N' Learn" lighthearted, but you could equally plausibly call it lightweight. The bridge is far too saccharine, too, without much reason; it sounds tacked on from a discarded track.
Hard-R Lyric: For content, "I'mma do it do it do it, on the bed on the floor on the couch"; for implications, "Don't ask me if you were the first to sleep here, 'cause if he did, you wouldn't even be here." (Harsh, but warranted–that's kind of a douchey comment on his part, no?)
Single-Worthy? No. Not only is "Watch 'N' Learn" buried on the album just before "Farewell," but it's too middling. It's neither the dirtiest nor danciest off the album, neither a banger nor a ballad. This isn't filler, per se, but you'd hardly call it a standout. But if Rihanna ever decides to root about for single #8….

As society progresses, the technology of medicine develops as doctors find more efficient methods to save patients' lives. One of the most recent experiments involves doctors saving lives in a state of "suspended animation", where the patient is between the point of life or death.
According to medics in the U.S., this can save time in saving knife and gunshot wound victims, as these type of wounds are usually proved to be fatal without this method. To put it in simpler terms for non-medicine experts, the doctors will basically cool down the patient's overall temperature to 10 Celsius degrees, where the blood cells require less oxygen to survive, but the patient would still be alive at the same time.
The reason behind this theory is that the body at a normal temperature requires a high level of oxygen to survive, but if the heart stops beating, the patient dies immediately. While the patient is in a state of suspended animation, this buys time for doctors to repair the structural damage caused by the bullet or by the blade.
Although this method may sound fairly controversial due to the fact that doctors are putting patients' life on a balance, Samuel Tisherman from UPMC Presbyterian Hospital further explains the procedure: "We are suspending life, but we don't like to call it suspended animation because it sounds like science fiction. So we call it emergency preservation and resuscitation."

This post was originally published on my former blog in October of 2008, back when I didn't take quite so many detailed pictures. But it was a fun project and I hope it serves as inspiration for Do It Yourself invitations.
After I took a silkscreen class, I was anxious to try out the method on something official. I got my opportunity when I co-hosted a engagement party in San Diego for one of my college sorority sisters and her darling fiance.
Since this was my first independent project, I wasn't going to tackle a complicated multi-color design. I laid out the basic information in Word, with a little help from Mac Fonts 2 for the Asian-y font for their name. I printed it out and drew a simple tree-like design around the wording using a marker and a pen.
Sticking with a single color ink means I needed to spice it up in some way. Genevieve and James are a very modern couple and the party was planned for The Pearl, a retro hotel in San Diego. I decided the best way to make the invitation interesting was to print on dark paper, appropriate for the season and something you don't usually see.
I choose a deep midnight blue flat card from Paper Source called "night." Paper Source has good quality paper and is reasonably priced. At the screen printing supply store, the manager helped me choose a nice quality white ink. I wanted it to appear really opaque against the blue paper.
The final preparation was to get the screen made. In class, I learned how to burn my own silk screens using emulsion and a photo lamp, but it's time-intensive and complicated enough that a mess-up means you have to start over.
Feeling it out with fellow artsy friends brought me to downtown Los Angeles, where a place called the Screen Depot will burn them for you for $20, and that includes the price of the screen! Definitely worth my time. Since my design involved a hand drawing, they charged me an extra $10 to scan it to a computer in order to darken all the blacks and turn it into a transparency. Obviously I could have done this step at home with a scanner and transparency paper. So now I'll know for next time. So in total, getting the screen made cost me $30.
I set aside a full Saturday to print the invitations. We were only mailing forty, but I wanted to give myself a healthy learning curve. Weeks ago, in preparation for all my new projects, I arranged the garage as a work space. The space you need for the actual printing is pretty small - I used a small desk - but you need a large area to lay the pieces out to dry.
Silkscreen printing is so satisfying. With one flood stroke and one print stroke, you're done! It's so fun to see your design glistening wet ink on the paper. Or maybe I'm just a geek like that. I printed all forty invitations in one sitting, and it took me a little over two hours. Your arms get tired, but overall the time flies by. I took my time and was careful with each card. I was using a grid to line up the cards in the right spot before printing, but one of the things that is special about silkscreening is that each print is unique and therefore might be a little "off." On a more casual project, it would be fun to experiment with that.
I learned quite a bit doing these invitations, mainly how I would do it differently next time. The white ink wasn't as opaque as I was envisioning, so next time I will probably take a paper sample to the supply store and test the different brands. I was enormously thankful for the wooden brace I bought from my teacher that holds the screen in place so nothing slips as you print. There is nothing fancy about it, but it makes all the difference in the world.
I got a bit sticky towards the end by not being careful enough when I was loading new ink into the screen, so next time I should have have a wet hand towel ready for quick clean-ups. All of those things were relatively minor. All in all, it was a great first project experience. And the party was fun, too, as you can see.
If you're interested in silkscreen screen printing, here is a quick video tutorial that shows the process. If you're lazy like me and have the screen made for you, you can skip all those steps and go directly from creating the design to actual printing.
You can screen print on paper, fabric, anything. The possibilities are endless.

Holiday Cactus in Maine, on Video
A Christmas Cactus is also popular, though it blooms closer to Thanksgiving than Christmas. Remember that a Christmas Cactus is not a true cactus. You water it much more often and don't let the soil dry out.
Well that's not true. It is a true cactus, and you do want to let it dry out between waterings, even if we do water it more often than desert cacti. And this was on a news show! Don't they have editors?
A Vermilliad is a tropical plants that provides Christmas color. The leaves act as water cups.
OK, so this is the editors problem. On the video he clearly says Bromeliad. If you google it, it does appear to be a common mistake.
Here's the video proof.

Everything seemed to have weathered the freeze up here. I did cover them with a sheet – so that helped. Now, my mother arrived for dinner tonight with this cactus she picked up at the grocery store(!) I has yellow flowers on the top and lots and lots of little sprouts all over the larger trunks. Now, the flowers are glued on paper – which elicits a big OMG!! Is this thing even real at all? What do you make of it. J Hehe!!
Thanks, Karen
You have the Fairy Castle Cactus, Cereus hildmannianus monstrose, with glued on paper flowers. Grocery stores often glue on paper flowers. I don't know why.
(Here's the earlier email.)
I assume this will be a very slow day at the nursery, even being the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Tomorrow should be sunny so I think we'll see a lot more people then.
Come by today if you want a lot of really personal service.
I like the Miltonia orchid hybrids. This one has a long name.
Beallaria marfitch "Howard's Dream"
The newest and bestest Lipson Robotics robots are finally out at the store. And just in time, I might add.
They cost a bit more than 10¢, OK? But I guarantee you this robot will fix your cough. And any bursitis you may have.
I see that Debra Lee Baldwin has a new Succulent Calendar for 2011, through Zazzle.
I just thought you might need to know. It is "Black Friday" after all.
Did I mention that we carry her 2 books at the nursery? They are the most popular books we carry. I just thought this was an important addition to your personal store of knowledge. Now you know.
I wonder if there are any other good succulent calendars out there? Probably not.
Karen and Mike live in the foothills where it's been below freezing this week. It's a good thing they brought small plants inside and used a frost blanket over the outdoor ones, because it was cold enough here in Berkeley where it is 37F right now!
Here we see they have a late blooming Astrophytum asterias.
It's hard to find just the right cactus stuffing or cactus relish recipe for Thanksgiving. Here's one I found a couple years ago.
Have a safe and happy holiday, and don't let the TSA feel your junk.
Here's one more cactus centerpiece for your table. It's paper.
Succulent Success Story in Washington
Don Steele, 91, has only lived on Vashon five months, and he has already grown a small but successful business.
The former nurse manager and ceramic artist's small succulent gardens — buckets, dishes, baskets and even old Jell-O molds filled with sedums and sempervivums — are now sold at both Thriftway and Blooms & Things, and they are catching customers' attention.
It turns out that the succulent business is an opportunity for all. Come join us! Just go do it somewhere else; Vashon Island is taken.
Another one of our brand new spectacular Lipson Robotics robots that will be out and available Friday morning.
I wonder what all these robots have to do with Thanksgiving and Black Friday? Oh, and what do they have to do with Cactus?
Nobody knows. Go figure!
Australia Mounts National Cactus Show
…in Mt. Waverley. Turns out that's in Victoria, near Melbourne, so well within distance of a moderate population density to justify the expense of bringing out your cacti.
Here's the community centre that will be holding all those cacti.
Here's one of the people showing off his collection.
Heinz Staude with some of the cacti in his own garden. He's looking forward to the Cactus and Succulent Society of Australia's annual show this weekend. Picture: Paul Loughnan N19WG206
That's not a garden. And what else can you tell us about this exciting show?
Society membership secretary Jill Abbott said she expected a crowd of at least 800 over the two-day event.
That's a lot of people, for an event in Australia which is a very low density country.
"It's very popular, people are absolutely amazed at what they see and find it hard to leave without buying something."
I bet it is.
The show will be held at the Mt Waverley Community Centre, corner Miller Cres and Stephensons Rd, from 10am-5pm on November 13, and 10am-3pm on November 14.
Oops. It was 2 weeks ago. Never mind. I hope it went well.
It's our 10″ Succulent Wreath.
Another one of the Lipson Robotics smaller robots we'll be having for you.

Most of us rarely give a thought about our future retirement needs. Otherwise, we are under the impression that we would have enough.
Are you really ready for retirement?
What are some common Singaporean perceptions?
1. It's okay! I got my house and my kids. That's my retirement.
2. CPF is surely enough for me to retire!
3. I don't have money to save now
BUT........ Are these really enough?
Do you think you CPF is enough?
Do you think your saving is enough with the rising cost of living?
Or Do you think your house is enough for your retirement?
Can your children take care of you when you are old?

Japanese Dogs Reach Nirvana With The Dyson Dog Grooming Brush
You may not have seen or heard about the Dyson Dog Grooming Brush in the U.S. I have only found it on a Japanese website, but surely it will come this way. Of course you need to attach the Grooming Brush to a Dyson bagless vacuum cleaner, and of course there's a one especially meant to pick up pet hair. The trick, however, will be to hunt your dog down when you take out your vacuum so he will let you brush his fur with a vacuum cleaner.
But the Dyson brochure gives you step-by-step training tips that will introduce him to the Grooming Brush without fear of being sucked up. The caption is mine, not Dyson's.
First you give him cookies for coming within a few feet of the vacuum cleaner. And then, you move his food bowl to the vacuum, until he eats his dinner next to it, and by then you have him thinking that the vacuum is actually dropping the kibble into his bowl.
Now here's what's special about the Dyson Dog Grooming Brush.
First, the comb is retractable, so when not in use, there are no pointed objects that can puncture you or your dog.
When you are ready to use the brush, you just push down a lever on the handle that will release the brush. This is accomplished easily with your thumb or forefinger.
The bristles are bent to draw loose fur from the outer coat and undercoat as well as dead skin into them without them flying around the room.
The Grooming Brush is attached to a vacuum cleaner so the hair can be drawn into the canister as it is brushed from the dog.
The following video shows how the Dyson Dog Grooming Brush works on a dog that has clearly found Nirvana.
The Dyson Vacuum Grooming Brush is for dogs with medium to long hair.
My buddy Steve Levenstein gave me this tip! Thanks, Steve!
That's the buzz for today!

I am appreciate your views.All dogs need some form of grooming, there is no doubt about that. Even smooth chihuahuas should be wiped with a damp chamois leather to get rid of loose skin and dust. However, one of the main purposes for grooming your dog regularly is so that you can check him for skin problems like allergic reactions to flea or tick bites.
