My Toshiba satellite A505 s6033 start freezing last night when I was surfing the internet. After pressing 5 seconds or more the power button the computer turned off. After that I start it back on but all the lights on body worked except the display.
After few more attempts I pushed arrow down and the power button the display turned on, but the freezing problem is back. So I thought that is a windows problem and I used the recovery partition to restore the state out of the box state. But the display is randomly blank when I push the start button except the other lights, and after restoring the laptop still freezing randomly in or during the windows is loading.
When I turn it on in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. When I turn it on normally, it freezes almost right away.
I bought this computer from bestbuy, but I am an Romanian citizen (sorry for my English), my question is : I can use the International Limited Warranty in my country ? Or what should I do to fix my laptop.
Kind regard,
You will need to contact Toshiba Warranty Service about that. This is just a users helping other users forum where Toshiba employees are expressly forbidden from posting or acting in any official capacity so there aren't any Toshiba Support Personnel here that can answer that question. Go here http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.
Thank you very much
I have sent the laptop to local service for repair and they have found that the motherboard is the problem. So they ordered a new motherboard from Toshiba. Hope the next week my laptop is back to life again.
Thank you
Have past more then one month and my laptop is still in the service because the motherboard didn't arrived yet. What should I do to have my laptop repaired.
PS What is the prefix number for the support phone number if I call outside US?
Thank you

I have exactly the same issue with my 2-week old laptop (Toshiba Satellite A505-S6035). One day it froze up, Ctrl+Alt+Del would not work and I had to turn it off by pressing the power button for 5 sec. After that it would continuously freeze up during the booting-up process (when the login screen would come up or even earlier when the windows logo was twirling). The only way to shut it down was through the power button. Then another thing started - when powered on, the lights on the laptop's body would come up, but the screen would be black. After 3-4 times of turning it off, the screen would finally come back up just to show the screen freezing up again.
I worked with Toshiba tech support and did a System Restore. The computer worked for a while, but then started freezing up again. I was able to get the safe mode to work, but it actually froze once during the booting up in safe mode! I went all in and did a full wipe back to the factory set-up (pushing down on "0" during the power-up). I was heartbroken when after the process was completed, the laptop froze up again on power up.
Right now, the screen stays blank on power-up. I no longer seem to even see the freezing process (hah!) I was told to return the laptop for a replacement. I hope the next one will be all right, but for some reason I do not have much faith... (July 7, 2010)
Have you tried contacting Toshiba to see if you can send it in for Depot Repair under warranty? You probably should fix it before you leave the country. Toshiba 800-457-7777.

Finally my laptop is running again. After 1 month and half I pick it up from local Toshiba service, but seems that the real problem was actually the video card. After they installed the new motherboard the problem persists when they try an system recovery from the recovery partition, so they have changed the video card also and my laptop is as new again. But they forgot to change the part and serial number of the motherboard with the one labels on the back of my laptop and I have to go back again to change it to its original stage.
I have to know if the temperature indicated by the "fun speed" application have to concern me :
From Idle to max 50% load:
- GPU : 45 - 60 degrees
- Temp1 (system I guess) : 45 - 68 degrees
- CPUS : 45 - 67 degrees
- Ambient temperature 25 degrees
Thank you all for your time and support
First, sorry because of my English, it is not my language and it's been a while since I had to used it.
This is happening to me, when I bought the laptop I had a few times that it froze but I thought it was something I did, and it happened once or twice in 3 months, for 9 months, maybe 4 times in the last month, it began to increase.
Then I thought it could be the temperature, and after a while, 2 months, I didn't had time, I bought a external cooler, but it didn't work... By this time my warranty expired... And thinking it could be dirt, I opened the back, but just by removing it I saw it was clean and put it back, I did nothing but opening... And again started looking for what it could be... Yes, I tried looking here, but I didn't find this topic that time, and now that I don't have the warranty I found it...
Any one here could help me? What should I do? Is there any way to fix it without buying a new video card?
I live in Brazil so its difficult for me to buy parts, I bought the laptop in the states when there, here the hardware are expensive... But if I have, I'll buy... If I have to buy a new one, could you tell me if there is a new one that I can buy that has little difference in price for the one I have and it's better?
PS: Toshiba from Brazil didn't helped me, I just spoke with then...
I thank you for any help!!

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Emeka Okafor sprained his right ankle Tuesday and Tim Duncan missed a morning practice because of an upset stomach, depriving the already undersized U.S. Olympic team of two big men on the second day of practice.
Okafor landed awkwardly and turned his ankle during a drill about an hour after practice began. The ankle did not immediately swell up, and Okafor was taken for precautionary X-rays, which came back negative.
"Yeah, I worry, but hopefully it's not anything real bad," coach Larry Brown said. "If it is, we've got to go to the (selection) pool."
Duncan felt ill and had a slight fever, prompting team trainers to have him skip the morning session of the team's two-a-day practices. He participated in the entire evening practice, a team spokesman said.
Okafor's condition will be re-evaluated today.
The absence of the two big men left power forwards Carlos Boozer and Amare Stoudemire as the only big men. Okafor is the U.S. team's only true center, although Duncan is expected to man that position for long stretches during the Olympics.
Changes can be made to the roster until 72 hours before the start of Olympic competition.
"We don't have anybody on hold or waiting in the wings," said Stu Jackson, chairman of the USA Basketball selection committee. "It would be unfair to the team to even speculate on (a possible replacement for Okafor if his injury is serious)."

Editor's Note: The Golden Spread Literacy Fund drive is under way. The Amarillo Area Adult Literacy Council, the Texas Panhandle Library System, and the Amarillo Globe-News founded the Literacy Fund to help promote the spread of literacy and to increase awareness of illiteracy and the problems it causes in society.
Although Magda Holloway has been married for more than 1 years, she is only beginning to have complete conversations with her husband.
Holloway, 28, met her husband in Colombia almost three years ago through mutual friends. They began a relationship unlike most.
Holloway did not speak English, and her future husband knew little Spanish.
To enroll at the Literacy Council, call 373-9009 or go to the Literacy House at 2219 S. Van Buren St.
Application requests can be sent to Golden Spread Literacy Fund, P.O. Box 2091, Amarillo, TX 79166.
Beginning balance $1,385
Robey and Joanne Clark $25
Total $1,410
"We spoke to each other through a translator when we started dating," Holloway said.
After months of dating, the couple married, and Holloway moved to Amarillo with her husband.
In Colombia, Holloway studied international business finance at a university and was considered to be a well-educated woman. But Holloway said coming to America meant she had to start all over.
To function in her new world, Holloway found she must relearn how to read, write and speak.
"I was not scared," Holloway said, as she recalls leaving her home in Colombia.
Tutor Profile
Name: Frances Wickham
How long have you been a tutor? One year
How many students have you taught? Three
Why did you become a tutor? I decided to do this because it is always exciting to teach someone to read. I have just switched from children to adults.
What is the most challenging part of being a tutor? The one-on-one tutoring makes things a lot easier. The students are coming because they want to learn, and they work very hard.
What have you gained from your experience as a tutor? Satisfaction. I feel that I have been able to help.
The woman joined a group for internationals at First Baptist Church to begin her transition to English. Friends suggested that Holloway seek help from the Amarillo Adult Literacy Council.
Holloway followed the advice and began tutoring sessions at the Literacy House.
Besides tutoring, Holloway also immersed herself in the language, choosing to speak nothing but English at home, no matter how limited.
Holloway admits that making such life adjustments was difficult, but again she said she was not scared.
"The sounds of English and Spanish are so different," Holloway said.
Frances Wickham, Holloway's tutor at the Literacy House, said that Holloway has been easy to teach because she is so dedicated.
"She already knows how to study," Wickham said. "And she practices all the time."
Holloway said that she now has a job and plans to continue her education after she learns English correctly. But for now, she said talking to her husband without a translator is rewarding.

Erie's Lincoln Foundry presses on in new age
There are no clean-room manufacturing spaces at Lincoln Foundry. No robots stamping out parts, and no escaping the feeling that you've stepped back in time.
Co-owner Nick Riazzi Jr. said the place hasn't changed much since he went to work at his family's shop back in 1974.
Lincoln, which has about 30 employees, just might fit the profile of old-school manufacturing that many of us hold in our heads.
Inside the front door at 1600 Industrial Drive, you'll find men going about the dirty business of pouring molten metal into molds. Others use giant bandsaws to remove burrs from the castings and grinders to smooth finished parts.
Riazzi and his partner, Chris Campbell, make a little bit of a lot of different things.
Brass valves, shower drains, fuel nozzles -- molds for these and a few hundred other parts hang on the walls at Lincoln.
When a customer calls, Riazzi said, he's ready to pull the mold down from the wall and start pouring metal.
That's the foundry's niche.
Need a brass, copper or cast- aluminum hood ornament for an antique car?
Lincoln can make it.
When an Edinboro boat builder wanted the decorative metalwork for a boat he was building, Lincoln came through.
"That's the reason I think we are still doing well," Riazzi said. "We do the small jobs that no one else wants. All that high-volume work has gone overseas."
If that business model sounds like a throwback, the foundry looks the part.
The shop floor is dimly lit, like a restaurant where you squint to read the menu.
Occasional flashes of molten steel, heated in an electric furnace to 2,300 degrees, penetrate the gloom as it's poured by hand into waiting molds.
The pace is quick, especially in an area where molds are being assembled and packed with sand that will create the shape and form of a finished casting.
Workers, who are paid by the piece and seem to be moving in overdrive, work to a cacophonous soundtrack of clanky conveyors and sand being dispensed one loud shake at a time from a giant overhead hopper.
There is the banging of molds being slammed into place and a constant thumping. Lincoln Foundry may look like a forgotten portal into another place and time, but it wouldn't be accurate to call it an undiscovered corner of the world.
Mike Rowe, host of the Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs," gave the foundry an extended moment in the spotlight when he brought his cable television show to Erie in March 2006.
Rowe made shower drains during his day at the foundry. And, in typical "Dirty Jobs" fashion, he ended his day by shoveling out the pit filled with the sand that is a byproduct of the molding practice.
Even in an age of high-tech manufacturing, such grubby chores still exist at Lincoln Foundry.
Riazzi and Campbell make no apologies for that.
And the company's modest website makes no pretense about Lincoln being something it's not.
"Foundry operations are not high-tech. They are not managed by sophisticated electronics, computer systems or robots," that statement reads. "What they are is a blend of craftsmanship, hard work, knowledge of metallurgy and a hands-on approach to management."
Business at Lincoln is slow at the moment. Campbell said the company doesn't have much of a backlog and is working a four-day schedule.
A lot of their business comes from customers who want to have a few American-made parts on their shelves.
Riazzi tries to be ready when an existing customer calls, but courting new ones isn't easy.
"I do a lot of quoting on the Internet," he said. "If I get one job out of 100 I'm lucky."
Yet neither of the owners is inclined to take drastic measures.
"It's still paying the bills," Riazzi said. "For us to go the high-run, robotic route, I don't think it would be good for us."
Campbell admits a certain fondness for the people, the machines, sights, sounds and the honest joy of making something.
"You don't know half the stuff that's going on in these buildings when you drive down the road," he said.

West Coast youngster Luke Shuey's horrendous luck has continued with the midfielder now sidelined with glandular fever.
Shuey enjoyed a wonderful pre-season after battling groin and leg injuries last season, made his debut in round one and looked set for a solid season. But then a knee injury forced him to the sidelines and now he has contracted glandular fever just as he was declared fit to return.
Coach John Worsfold said Shuey had been unlucky, but was still in good spirits.
"There's no timeline on when he's back available. It's about his symptoms. He's quite well within himself at the moment so we're hopeful we can start to ramp him up next week and he'll be okay," Worsfold said.
"He's been counselled on the potential spread. Sharing water bottles is the biggest threat as a player so he's been counselled on all of that. He was just ready to play again so it's another blow to him. But he's only young. He's got a 10 or 12 year AFL career ahead of him. The start of it is being delayed a bit but it will be worth it once he gets up and going."
Captain Darren Glass will miss another match with his groin injury, but the club is hopeful he will be available next week.
Worsfold said he was thankful that the Eagles board publicly endorsed him as coach until the end of his contract on Monday, but said privately he had always been backed by the football club.

CBNNews.com - BEIRUT, Lebanon - Convicted murderer Samir Kuntar, released nearly two weeks ago in a prisoner exchange with the Lebanese-based Hezbollah terror group, continues to announce his desire to kill.
"Allah willing, I will get the chance to kill more Israelis," Kuntar told television audiences across Lebanon in an appearance on Lebanon's Future TV.
In an interview on Hezbollah's al-Manar satellite television the day after his release, Kuntar quipped, "I ask Allah to make this happen very soon."
Kuntar was released from an Israeli prison on July 16 as part of a deal to return the bodies of IDF reservists Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser to Israel.
Kuntar served 29 years for the brutal murder of an Israeli family and police officer in the northern coastal city of Nahariya in 1979.

Charodeika-class monitor
Charodeika at anchor; her two turrets are painted white
|Class overview
|Galernyi Island Shipyard, Saint Petersburg
|Imperial Russian Navy
|Preceded by:
|Succeeded by:
|Admiral Lazarev class
|762,000 roubles
|In service:
|General characteristics (as completed)
|2,100 long tons (2,134 t)
|206 ft (62.8 m) (waterline)
|42 ft (12.8 m)
|12 ft 7 in (3.8 m)
|Installed power:
|2 shafts, 2 Horizontal direct-action steam engines
|8 knots (15 km/h; 9.2 mph)
|13 officers and 171 crewmen (1877)
The Charodeika class was a pair of monitors built for the Imperial Russian Navy in the late 1860s. They were designed by the British shipbuilder Charles Mitchell and built in Saint Petersburg. Both ships were assigned to the Baltic Fleet and had fairly uneventful careers mostly assigned to training units. Rusalka struck a rock in 1869 and had to be run aground lest she sink. They were reclassified as coast-defense ironclads in 1892 and Rusalka sank during a storm in the Gulf of Finland the next year with the loss of all hands. Her sister ship Charodeika continued in service until 1907 and was eventually scrapped in 1911–12. Rusalka's wreck was discovered in 2003 by an expedition sponsored by the Estonian Maritime Museum.
Design and description[edit]
By late 1863, the Russian Admiralty Board had begun planning for the second generation of ironclads to succeed those ships then under construction and issued a requirement on 12 November[Note 1] for a twin-screw low-freeboard ship that could sail throughout the Baltic Sea. It was to be armed with 15-inch (381 mm) smoothbore Dahlgren guns and protected by up to 6 in (152 mm) of armor. Before even deciding which designs to accept, the Admiralty decided to order eight ships of various types in March 1864. Charles Mitchell was allocated only one of the eight ships before he submitted four different designs for the competition in May–June. Two ships of his simplest design were awarded to a new builder, S. G. Kudriavtsev, who was provided facilities at the state-owned Galernyi Island Shipyard. In addition the Admiralty committed itself to furnishing the armament, armor, engines and boilers as well as a variety of smaller components for the two ships.[1]
The Charodeika-class monitors were significantly larger than their predecessor, Smerch, and were 206 feet (62.8 m) long at the waterline. They had a beam of 42 feet (12.8 m) and a maximum draft of 12 feet 7 inches (3.8 m). The ships were designed to displace 1,882 long tons (1,912 t), but turned out to be overweight and actually displaced 2,100 long tons (2,100 t). They were fitted with a plough-shaped ram that projected four feet (1.2 m) forward of the bow. The Charodeikas were fitted with a double bottom and their hulls were subdivided by watertight bulkheads into 25 compartments. Their crew numbered 13 officers and 171 crewmen in 1877.[2]
The ships had a freeboard of only two feet (0.6 m) and their decks were often awash in any sort of moderate sea. They rolled heavily and were very unmaneuverable, often not responding to the ship's wheel until 20 degrees of rudder was applied. The monitors were fitted with three iron pole masts, probably fore-and-aft rigged, and used to steady the ship rather than for propulsion.[3]
The Charodeika class had two simple horizontal direct-acting steam engines, built by the Baird Works of Saint Petersburg.[4] The engines had a bore of 38 inches (0.97 m) and a stroke of 18 inches (0.46 m) and each drove a single four-bladed 8-foot-6-inch (2.59 m) propeller. Steam was provided by two rectangular boilers at a pressure of 1.6 atm (162 kPa; 24 psi). The engines were designed to produce a total of 875 indicated horsepower (652 kW), but only produced 705–786 ihp (526–586 kW) which gave the ships speeds between 8.5–9 knots (15.7–16.7 km/h; 9.8–10.4 mph) when they ran their sea trials in 1869. The monitors also had a donkey boiler for the small steam engine that powered the ventilation fans and pumps. The Charodeika class carried a maximum of 250 long tons (254 t); their range, however, is unknown.[5]
The monitors were designed to be armed with four Obukhov 9-inch (229 mm) rifled guns, a pair in each Coles-type turret. Various deckhouses and ventilation hatches prevented the turrets from firing directly forward or aft, so that each turret could bear approximately 150° to each side. Difficulties in manufacturing the guns and the delayed construction of the monitors themselves forced the Admiralty to change the armament to a pair of the 9-inch guns in the forward turret and a pair of 15-inch (380 mm) smoothbore muzzle-loading Rodman guns in the aft turret. These guns were replaced by another pair of 9-inch rifled guns beginning in 1871. They were replaced in their turn in 1878–79 by two longer, more powerful 9-inch Obukhov guns. The ship carried 75 rounds for each gun.[6]
Light guns for use against torpedo boats are not known to have been fitted aboard the Charodeika-class ships before the 1870s when a variety of guns were added, although their numbers, calibers, and locations are only partially known. Charodeika received four 4-pounder 3.4-inch (86 mm) guns, two mounted on the roofs of each gun turret while Rusalka had a total of three guns with only one gun on her aft turret. Other guns known have been fitted included 45-millimeter (1.8 in) Engström quick-firing (QF) guns, 47-millimeter (1.9 in) QF Hotchkiss guns, 37-millimeter (1.5 in) QF Hotchkiss five-barreled revolving cannon, and 1-inch (25 mm) Nordenfelt guns.[7]
The Charodeika-class monitors had a complete waterline belt of wrought iron that was 4.5 inches (114 mm) thick amidships and thinned to 3.25 inches (83 mm) aft and 3.75 inches (95 mm) forward. It was 7 feet 6 inches (2 m) high and completely covered the hull to 5 feet 6 inches (2 m) below the waterline. The armor was backed by 12 to 18 inches (305 to 457 mm) of teak. The turrets had 5.5 inches (140 mm) of armor, also backed by teak,[7] and the conning tower was 4.5 inches thick.[4] Amidships, the deck was 1 inch thick, although it thinned to 0.25–0.5 inches (6–13 mm) at the ends of the ship.[7]

|Entered service[8]

|12 September 1867
Construction and service[edit]
The monitors were intended to be delivered by 27 May 1867, but construction was held up by delays in delivery of the blueprints, armor, changes made while under construction and the untimely death of Kudriavtsev in August 1865. The contract was transferred to Mitchell who completed them in 1869, two years after their scheduled delivery date for the cost of 762,000 roubles each.[11] Both ships spent their entire careers with the Baltic Fleet. In June, Charodeika ripped a 28-foot (8.5 m) long hole in her hull when she struck an uncharted rock in the Gulf of Finland and had to be deliberately run aground to prevent her sinking. She was assigned to the Artillery Training Detachment of the Baltic Fleet in March 1870 and Charodeika was later assigned to the Mine (Torpedo) Training Detachment.[11]
Both monitors were reclassified as coast-defense ironclads on 13 February 1892 and Rusalka sank in a storm on 7 September 1893 during a voyage between Reval (Tallinn) and Helsingfors (Helsinki) with the loss of her entire crew of 177 officers and enlisted men. Despite an extensive search, the only traces of her found were one body and some debris that washed ashore. Charodeika remained in service until 31 March 1907 when she was turned over to the Port of Kronstadt for disposal. The ship was stricken from the Navy List on 7 April and was finally scrapped in 1911–12.[11]
Rusalka's wreck was discovered on 22 July 2003 in the Gulf of Finland, 25 kilometers (13 nmi) south of Helsinki, by a joint expedition of the Estonian Maritime Museum and the commercial diving company Tuukritööde OÜ.[12] The wreck is generally intact although draped with snagged fishing nets. The aft turret, however, has fallen out of the ship.[13]

Skip to comments."What If" hypothetical question for those who are familiar with world politics.
Posted on 08/24/2012 2:39:24 PM PDT by America_Right
Heya Freepers,
I have a problem. I started writing a book, and I am getting in over my head, here. I am at a point in the notes for the book where the Middle East is broke because oil is pretty much worthless.
Will the Mid East population roll over Europe? Will they get control of European nukes? Will they immediately use those nukes on Israel and the US? What would our reaction be? Would we defend ourselves or try to appease them with more Muslim outreach programs a la NASA? Would Russia and China help us?
Believe it or not, this is just the beginning of an epic sci-fi story. Politics is only important in the first part. With this in mind, I suppose I could take the story far enough into the future that current politics may not even be a factor, but it isn't as fun and poignant.
how about muslims vs. christians?
It's a hypothetical in a book. Choose the path that gives your story the most leeway to expand on your ideas.
Good point. However, I need it to be as realistic as possible. You should see all the research I am doing for the sci part of the sci-fi! I will have a PhD in physics before this is over.
If oil became worthless (hard to imagine), then much (but not all) of the middle east would fall into extreme poverty.
The rich would flee, the poor would starve. Their militaries would crumble from lack of foreign maintenance support (which is all that keeps them together).
The people would turn on each other and it would become one big Somalia.
Turkey or another Islamic power (not dependent on oil) might then step in to reconstruct the Caliphate over a weak and miserable population.
Of course, if the West didn't close the door, they WOULD flood into Europe, trying to survive. What better target than the European welfare states.?
The political stuff is pretty stale and trashy in comparison.
1. Start with the end in mind and work backwards as you outline. What is the big conclusion you want to have or lesson you want people to learn? How do events take you there?
2. Is there anything in past history that correlates to this? (Siege of Vienna comes to mind) History has a way of repeating itself.
The Jews will determine the future of the Middle East because they may not be many but few of the civilized outnumber the many of the savage in our 21st Century technology world.
And if America can survive the Obama pathogen our world will abide for a little while longer.
Fighting would push the Muslims back across the Medeteranean and all of the way back to Istanbul and beyond.
Istanbul would once again be called "Constantinople and become an international holy city like Jerusalem
You see?
Or Muslims vs. Aliens?
"What would our reaction be? Would we defend ourselves or try to appease them with more Muslim outreach programs a la NASA? Would Russia and China help us?"
The Democrats will immediately surrender and apologize, and the RINOs will send them a strongly worded letter. As for the Ivans and the Chicoms, they are not our friends, and will be glad to help- themselves, to whatever they can get, at our expense and that of others.
Or Muslims vs. Aliens?
Let's play cowboys and muzzies.
If there's a book in there, it's about how you get oil to be worthless and what the post-petroleum epoch would look like for us.
Yeah, that's what's interesting me here. What technological game changer comes about to do that? If ME oil income plumments, they go back to the stone age and, as stated above, become nothing but a mass of Somalias. I, for one, would laugh long, often and hard.
So are the world's tanks, planes and warships electric?
If I used what you wrote, I would probably be hearing from Tom Clancy's lawyer. :)
If oil became worthless (hard to imagine)
Not really. However it would never become worth zero, just worth very little compared to today.
Advances and discoveries in natural gas and nuclear would do that very easily. If every country starts fracking for nat gas and starts building thorium reactors, the mid east would go broke very fast.
But over-run europe? no, europe would not allow that. They would over run africa first. Africa has raw materials and slave-like labor and lots of ground for farming. Africa would be the logical path for arab nations to save themselves from starvation. If there is to be a war as a result of the arabs becoming poor and going hungry, it will occur on the african continent.
Yes. And it is feasible, too, believe it or not.
Remember, this is sci-fi.
Wow, I never even thought of that! It is hard to imagine Africa as having enough resources to be worth taking militarily given their lifestyle.
Keep in mind, I was going to have Europe be taken over without a shot being fired. It seems to me that they are welcoming a Muslim takeover via immigration.
At any rate, Africa just made it into the book. I was just going to use Egypt, but that would be a poor use of MY resources.
european colonists didn't take over africa because it was a waste of time. They colonized africa because there are rich lands there and no one with the organization talent to extract them.
Eurabia will eventually get muzzified, apart from France (I know this is hard to believe); France and Britain have nuclear arsenals they developed and control. I'm not sure any other nation in Europe (apart from the USSR, oops, I mean Russia) have done so. There are US warheads in Europe as part of the NATO defense treaty.
THAT is the whole crux - the keystone, if you will, of the story. Can't spoil that for you. :)
You bet!
Congratulations on taking the plunge!
One of the great joys of science fiction - as opposed to fantasy - is that it might actually happen...eventually.
As for your particular question, the short answer is "what do you want to happen?" as in "what events would move your plot along towards the climatic conflict and resolution"?
Also for consideration: some new technology that would make oil nearly worthless would (a) not make it completely worthless, as technology adoption is never 100% and (b) may affect certain uses such as fuel more than others such as plastics, and (c) would take a significant time span to alter world economics, with the time required being related to the adoption curve of the new technologies.
Even something as radical as - for example - practical Tesla-style power broadcasting on a global scale - would take time for the information required to use it to propagate across the globe, for vehicles to be adapted, and so on. And of course there's always an "old guard" that never adapts (Luddites, in the extreme cases, Amish, gasoline-engine fanatics, etc).
So the upset in the middle east - or Texas - would not happen overnight, but would be gradual. Possibly even decades, or more.
The people in charge would most likely see it coming, and vanish/bail/emigrate et al. The huddled masses would most likely remain huddled masses - they simply don't have the knowledge or resources to migrate elsewhere. Prime fodder for warlords and opportunists, as demonstrated by the current political climate ;)
That being said, I strongly urge you to consider everything suggested in this thread (the thought about Africa is a good one, for example), and then throw it all out and make happen whatever you want to happen.
good luck, and let us know when it's done!
Interesting, I think you'll have fun with this project.
Here's my $.02 for what its worth:
Most of the Middle East will simply die. The incinerated will linger as a dispersing stench; the irradiated will starve. Jerusalem will be ringed with massive Aegis-style systems firing off from time to time as the surviving Jews hunker down against the odd biomissile launched by fading regional mujahid avenging what was left of the Kaaba. Indonesia starves and self-consumes as the rest of the remaining powers isolate Islam, there no longer being any advantage to pandering to the rabidity of the Faith. China continues to pour engineers and infrastructure resources into sub-Saharan Africa, their occasional genocidal mass killings only opposed by impotent proclamations from a terrified Europe and a self-absorbed United States dying under unsustainable entitlements...
Airplanes, ships, trains, and small engines would be hard to operate on anything but petroleum.
I would see oil dropping 50 to 70 percent.
Bah, you guessed it... Ok, at least some people will know what I am talking about. So much for not spoiling the story. I was planning on having a rather sudden "switch" to the Tesla broadcast after a rather lengthy ramp up to the new grid. Remember the switch to digital TV? Like that, only with more far-reaching implications.
I am definitely using the Africa angle. That was brilliant, as have been some of the other posts on this thread.
I really like the idea of a slow emigration of Mid Easterners. It could (will?) solve the problem of getting the Muslim takeover of Europe underway sooner rather than later.
Thanks for the interest! I will put you on my list of people to email the book to when it is done.
Ships already run on electricity (nuclear). Trains would just need REALLY powerful engines. They would suck down the juice really fast, but with this SCI-FI technology, they will have all the juice they need. I am thinking the same thing with planes. They will have to have a LOT of power, more than could be put into a battery with current technology. However, once again, they will have all the juice they need as long as their "receiver" is intact.
Sci-fi is great. I love playing with tech that isn't available yet, or is just this side of feasible!
Yeah! The only problem, however, is that I have to hold down a full time job while I am writing this. Established writers are lucky to have all the time they need to work on their books.
I like your ideas, and some of them would be really cool (in a bad way) in a real-world scenario, but it kinda screws up the story. Indonesia is just a bucket full of Muslims that will be peacefully invading (immigrating to) Australia and New Zealand. They will serve no other purpose in the book.

Agatha18 — a distinctive, personal, minimalistic and beautiful design.

A photographer Bernhard Wolff32 has a Flash-layout which is simply impossible to achieve with CSS and (X)HTML.
Sergey Tyukanovs Museum of Art34 — here "gallery" actually means "gallery".
Eye-Project is an impressive animated collaborative mosaic. Including a variety of preloading time required to see the site.
Zoomquilt Part II36 — you can walk across the planet going deeper into the image. Zoomquilt is also a collaborative project.

|No one seems to wake up early to hike in the Adirondacks. This was another of several popular peaks I had all to myself simply by leaving at day break. Some clouds and light wind. Started from the free parking on S Meadows Rd. Up between Whale Tale, up Wright first than out to Iroquois and back.

|First trip to Adirondacks!
Date Climbed: Sep 22, 2014
|It didn't disappoint, Awesome place! Summited on a cool misty/rainy early afternoon. The trail was really wet and muddy but still a great time. Not really any views from the summit-weather was fairly harsh- raining with high winds and cool.

Date Climbed: Jul 3, 2014
|My second 46er. I saw this stunning peak from 73 and had to climb it. This is one large mountain! The portion of the trail above tree line is literally one of the best views I had seen since driving up Pikes Peak in the 90's. Wow! Who knew that the Adirondacks would win me over all over again! I was one of the last people going up that day and when I reached the summit a person popped up like a teletubby. It was my first encounter with a High Peaks steward, Devon Reynolds. Devon proved to be both knowledgeable as well as fun to talk to. After a bit of conversation I set off towards Iroquois only to be thwarted by a downpour. I retreated back to where Devon hid behind a boulder. When the first crack of thunder hit Devon bolted for her gear and I followed....no Iroquois or Wright today.

Date Climbed: Nov 2, 2010
|Our winter ascent of Algonquin was one of my most memorable. Snowshoes were absolutely necessary, and crampons would have been useful on the summit. We ascended the summit into a cloud with driving winds and extremely limited visibility. In hindsight, after more experience, we should have turned back. But it ended up being a great memory.

|Took two hours and sixteen minutes from the trailhead at the Loj. Beautiful weather, light wind, reasonable amount of bugs, and great views. First summit of a quadruple summit day (Algonquin, Boundary, Iroquois, and Wright). The summit steward was even cheerful. Between all four summits it took me seven hours and thirteen minutes from door to door, with about fifty minutes of that being meal breaks and enjoying the view.

|Hiked Algonquin Peak 5114' starting at the Adirondack Loj. Took around 10 hours due to steep ice sections towards the summit requiring crampon and some ice axe use. Very cold, around -15 F windchill at the summit with 20+ mph winds. Required snowshoes but was nonetheless an achievable hike on a beautiful day in the dead of winter. Totaled 9.6 miles roundtrip.

|Spectacular views, quite possibly the nicest in the park. Lovely day, up and down (including Wright) in 5.75hrs with a nice break on Algonquin Summit.

|Wet, cloudy, and steep
Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2012
|My son (13) and I (49) hiked this from the Adirondack Loj via the Van Hoevenberg Trail. Total time on trail was around 7 hours. There were no views from the top but it was still a very rewarding (but tiring) hike for both of us.
|Posted Jun 30, 2013 3:55 pm
|Winter Beauty!
Date Climbed: Jan 5, 2013
|Second time up this mountain, but my first time during winter. Incredibly beautiful snowy landscape. Made our way to the summit without seeing any trail Cairns whatsoever. Unfortunately there was no view, but the clouds cleared as we descended so we caught a nice view of Wright. Warning, people at the Loj will try and force you to rent snowshoes, I found they worked best on the back of my pack and used my crampons the entire hike.

|My third of the 46ers, thanks to a great Scoutmaster who helped me get hooked on outdoor adventures. (Duly reported to "Dear Grace" of the ADK 46ers at the time!)

The Sensor Light blue - World Class Tone. Lace has built these world famous patented pickups since 1985. Used exclusively by Fender until 1996, these pickups have the same specifications with the same great tone. Light blue Lace Sensor pickups are designed to duplicate an early Fender single coil pickup.
Crisp top end and bell-like tone, it utilizes the latest technology to provide excellent tone for today's players.
The Lace Sensor Light Blue has a unique radiant Field Barrier system that surrounds both the coil and magnets, reducing annoying 60-cycle hum. The patented Lace Micro Combs replace traditional bobbins, yielding a wider tonal range and better string balance than traditional pickups.
Unlike ordinary pickups, it generates 36 separate magnetic "sensing" fields that, in the areas where they contact the string, "read" the strings' vibration. (Regular pickups only generate anywhere from 4 to 12 fields).
The Lace Sensor Light Blue also has Radiant Field Barriers: metal slides that frame the inner core of the Sensors and perform two functions. The first is to shield the Sensor from the outside noise and 60-cycle hum. The second is to produce broader, yet more concentrated, umbrellas of sensing field than standard magnetic pickups.
Less Noise, More Harmonics
As compared to standard pickups, the Lace pickup reads a greater physical area of the string, while picking up less outside interference. This makes the signal-to-noise ratio nothing short of phenomenal for a single coil system. Also, a wider range of harmonic content is read by the Sensor, delivering a more complex tonal response.
Increased Sustain, Truer Pitch
Since it operates so efficiently, Lace Sensors can utilize much lower energy magnets than ordinary pickups, and this in turn brings about a whole new realm of properties. In regular pickups, the magnetic fields are so strong they physically dampen, or drag on, the strings' vibration, reducing sustain and actually changing the pitch. But in the Lace Sensor Light Blue, string dampening is virtually nonexistent. This means your sustain is increased dramatically while the string holds its true pitch for the duration of the note.
Lace includes a three-inch mini data CD that includes all its latest wiring diagrams in color along with Lace's most current pickup and guitar catalogs. Also includes a warranty card and other useful information regarding Lace Music Products.

Comments about Lace Sensor-Light Blue Pickup:
I'm almost a strictly Lace user. I have many flavors. This light blue is without a doubt my most prized. I set my amp to Blues Rock 40(G-DEC 30) with this pickup in center and it is so heavenly! Crystal clear with just the right vibe. I would give it a 6 star, if I could. Best tune I've found. I'm a luthier and player.
Comments about Lace Sensor-Light Blue Pickup:
This thing is Godly. I put one in the neck of my Strat with a silver in the middle and a red in the bridge, and it definately tops my old weak single-coils, the range of tone is more than what my friend's can get out of an LP. Makes me happy. A seriously good buy.
