WBUR reports on what the city says it's doing about it.
Greg Cook attended Sunday's World Day of Remembrancemarch from Copley Square through Boston Common and vigil in front of the State House.
Many of the walkers carried white outlines with the names of people who died in crashes. Activists have begun putting these markers at the crash locations. Not everybody is a fan of the idea.
Matthew Robare reports on the Rally for Safer Streets outside Boston City Hall.
Hello everyone--as you may have heard, WGBH and Wicked Local are doing a multi-part series on how bikes and cars co-exist in the Boston area. I'm trying to put together a panel of cyclists, car drivers, and possibly pedestrians to talk candidly about their experiences and frustrations. If you'd be interested in participating, please give me a call (617-300-2534), send me an email ([email protected]), or tweet me (@reillyadam). Thanks.
Boston Police report three people became hospital patients early this morning when they darted out from behind a van right into the path of a car traveling down Dot. Ave.
H_Boston discovered somebody in Cambridge got a little frustrated with a pedestrian-crossing button.
Biking in Heels posits that differences in the way our traffic signals work for pedestrians explain why Bostonians dart every which way from every direction, while Cantabrigians are more thoughtful, even when jaywalking:
Oh, do check out the inflammatory rhetoric in the Herald. Chris Cassidy is successfully riling up the ragers there.
Yesterday, it was Cyclists, drivers are wheeling and dealing — keying off on ticket numbers and starting with a Steve Murphy slam on bikers. Today, Cyclists plan provocations in Hub bike-car war is even more heavy handed. He does the straw-man thing, manufacturer the pitched battle and sits back.
Maureeen Rogers tackles that report that claims Boston is the safest city in America for pedestrians, recounts an incident in San Francisco in which she and her husband were looking for a particular restaurant:
There was a woman a few yards ahead of us, and we caught up to her to ask for directions. After she provided them, I asked her whether she was from Boston (She did not have a New England accent). She said that she had recently moved from Boston, but asked why we might think she was a former Bostonian.
The Metro reports on a request from Mayor Menino to the state legislature to increase fines for red-running bicyclists from $20 to $150.
Boston Biker says fine, but only if the city does the same for pedestrians:
Mitch Blum strides across the road in defense of Boston jaywalking:
... True story: when I lived in Beacon Hill a cop once yelled at me for not jaywalking across Cambridge Street. There was construction going on and me standing there was a bigger public safety risk than me jaywalking. In that instance jaywalking probably saved a life. Think about that for a minute.
Boston is a special place and part of our specialness is our still extant spirit of independence. Just because The Man installs a bunch of paint and lights doesn't mean he can tell me where or when to walk. ...
Sharon Gartenberg crunches accident data from the state and determines that 40% of all pedestrian accidents in Framingham happen on just three roads: Rte. 9, Waverly Street and Concord Street. She provides a query tool and a map - which really makes it look like cars play whack-a-walker quite often on the Rte. 126 corridor from Rte. 9 to downtown Framingham.
The Watertown Police Department thought you should know.
Color Sharon disgusted by the way local cities and towns plow roads but not sidewalks:
... Walking around in winter is NOT an optional activity. Local government should be providing the same snow-clearing services for pedestrians on public sidewalks as they do for drivers on roads.
John compares Washington and Tremont streets. Washington is just too wide for pedestrians to get across safely:
It's like running for a touchdown.
Tremont, though, has too many crosswalks to be safe for motorists:
For drivers, it's an accomplishment to make it from Mass Ave to Berkeley without being rear-ended, having to slam on the breaks at every corner for someone jumping off the curb.
Hmm, what are your worst streets for crossing in Boston?
John admits to occasional drives to places only 3/4's of a mile away. But he starts thinking about how to encourage more foot traffic in Boston after reading about a proposal to ban cars on New York's Broadway: Are there streets on which cars should be banned? Besides Washington Street in Downtown Crossing, that is?
According to this report, Boston is one of the safest metro areas in the country for kiddie pedestrians. Go figure.
Supposedly, we're way safer than Nashville and Chicago, but not as safe as Pittsburgh, San Francisco and New York. FedEx is a proud sponsor of the report, so I'm assuming FedEx drivers are trained not to run down little kids.

- - What did I do to my shoulder? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/slam-section/47646-what-did-i-do-my-shoulder.html)
What did I do to my shoulder?
Over the weekend I was snowboarding. I went off this fairly big rainbow box all weekend pretty confident with my tricks. Long story short, I was doing a back board and didn't brig my board back to straight quick enough. I caught my edge and it sent me flying forward. instead of sticking out my arms, I did a sort of slide on my stomache with my hands over my head (like superman). At first it didn't hurt at all, but throughout the day, it got worse and worse. Now I can't even move it without a sharp pain in my shoulder. It wasn't a big fall that's the thing.
What do you think it is? Rotator cuff? Just sore? And what can I do to get rid of it faster?
In my professional opinion you should go to a doctor for diagnosing an injury
1 Attachment(s)
Can you still rub one out using that arm? As long as you can do that, in my professional opinion, you're fine.
If not, you should probably amputate.
You might want to go see a doctor instead of getting advice from us highly knowledgeable internet guru's.
Ooooooh yeaaaa... I forgot... In my professional opinion you should definitely amputate it and post a vid of you doing it....
1 Attachment(s)
You have to know what is wrong with it first. Then, maybe, just maybe some of us internet genius's around here might be able to give you advice on how to help your recovery. When you look for a diagnosis on a snowboardingforum, you are probably better off just putting leeches on it...
You fucked your flux capacitor... Happened to me a bunch of times. Don't be a pussy.
1 Attachment(s)
I had a similar injury a few seasons ago from a sketchy landing off a big natural sidehit.
I tore my labrum (the protective layer that holds the ball part of the shoulder into the socket).
Needed to get the shoulder scoped and lived with pain for 6 months before it went away. I still feel pain today when doing shoulder workouts.
Best of luck.

12 movies to see in 2012
From a Batman blockbuster to an Abe Lincoln biopic, here are a dozen flicks we're psyched to see over the next year.
Mon Jan 9 2012
Elizabeth Banks, left, and Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games
The year-end lists have been posted and perused, the what-did-it-all-mean? essays have been pored over, and the last of the big-name, Oscar-jockeying movies have muscled their way into theaters. Now that 2011 recedes rapidly in our rearview mirror, we look to the year ahead—which, not surprisingly, includes more sequels, prequels, adaptations of pop-lit staples and TV shows, as well as new entries from old faithfuls like Spielberg and Tarantino. Here are a dozen major titles we're itching to see in 2012. (Release dates are, of course, subject to change.)
The Hunger Games
Suzanne Collins's young-adult juggernaut is the kind of literary phenomenon we can get behind: one involving televised death matches between cute teenagers. The futuristic saga stars Winter's Bone's Jennifer Lawrence, an unusually strong anchor for a tent-pole. (Mar 23)—JR
Dark Shadows
Team Edward's got nothing on Team Barnabas: Johnny Depp trades in his pirate's scabbard for bloodsucking incisors in Tim Burton's sure-to-be-oddball adaptation of the popular '60s gothic soap opera about a charismatic vampire and other groovy ghoulies. It's a perfect match of director, star and material. (May 11)—KU
The Dictator
How do you follow up creating iconically clueless B-boys, Kazakh journalists and fashionistas? Easy: Play a dense totalitarian despot. Sacha Baron Cohen and Borat director Larry Charles jettison the gonzo approach, but lines such as "Welcome to America...the birthplace of AIDS!" suggest they've retained their brilliant sense of bad taste. (May 11)—DF
Director Ridley Scott has made only two sci-fi movies during his career: Alien and Blade Runner. That's a flawless track record; Scott's long-awaited return to the squishy universe of the former (a prequel, with actors including Michael Fassbender) has us seeing stars. (June 8)—JR
The Dark Knight Rises
The final chapter of Christopher Nolan's Batman revamp swoops in to deliver the last word on the Caped Crusader as America's warped social conscience. Yes, Tom Hardy's masked Bane is apparently the Mushmouth of supervillains, but if anyone's capable of potentially taking the superhero genre to cerebral new levels, it's Nolan. Bring on the Knight. (July 20)—DF
Writer-director Rian Johnson showed plenty of promise in Brick and The Brothers Bloom. Will this time-traveling thriller—about an assassin tasked with killing his future self—be his, ahem, quantum leap to the big leagues? With Johnson's talent and a cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, we sure think so. (Sept 28)—KU
Taken 2
CIA operative Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) was an unstoppable killing machine out to rescue his abducted kid in the butt-kicking 2008 revenge thriller. In the sequel, the tables have turned: Mills is now the kidnapee and his offspring has to save his bad ass. This promises to be a vengeful dish worth savoring. (Oct 5)—KU
We actually get excited about new James Bond films in this, the Daniel Craig era. Redoubling on quality control after 2008's disappointing Quantum of Solace, the latest chapter has creepy Javier Bardem playing an archnemesis; no word on his haircut yet. (Nov 9)—JR
The Hobbit
We Lord of the Rings fans crossed our fingers that Peter Jackson would eventually tackle the Tolkien trilogy's prequel. File under wish granted: The Aussie filmmaker returns to Middle Earth to chronicle Bilbo Baggins's journey from Hobbit homebody to dragon-fighting badass. For LOTR diehards, this is our new preciousss. (Dec 14)—DF
World War Z
That's Z for zombie, but can flesh chompers withstand a somber Children of Men--style treatment and faux-documentary vibe? Brad Pitt interviews survivors of a new Greatest Generation; let's hope they keep it as political as Max Brooks's novel. (Dec 21)—JR
Django Unchained
Everyone assumed exploitation superfan Quentin Tarantino would one day make a spaghetti Western, though his Django isn't a gunslinger-for-hire; rather, he's a former slave (played by Jamie Foxx), dealing out payback in the Deep South. Expect a Molotov cocktail of meta-references and enough racial epithets to give the NAACP epileptic fits. (Dec 25)—DF
We may be getting only one Steven Spielberg movie next winter, but it's sure to be a lightning rod: a look at the final months of our 16th President, starring the chameleonic Daniel Day-Lewis as Honest Abe. Thank goodness the film's a mere 11 months, and not four score and seven years, away. (December)—KU

Date of Stay: November, 2013
While pet friendly, the goat head thorns are a problem. Where sites are not gravel there are thorny weed patches. During the fall the weeds dry and release thorns which end up underfoot everywhere (painful for pets). Sites are on a gentle slope. The check in process was smooth and the staff very helpful and friendly. The restaurant on site is ok though our carryout order was overcooked and not quite as appealing as in the restaurant. Not full this time of year so pick of sites. Road noise was not a problem. Wi-Fi was just ok and cable had significant interference on at least one channel. Staff said it was cable company service.
Date of Stay: November, 2013
This is convenient when traveling south of Moab. The water was turned off (winter looming) and they still charged full price. We were tired of travel so took it anyway. Wi-Fi was on and off and not dependable and cable was ok. No water at site was an annoyance though understandable. Pet area is fenced, grassy (not goat head thorns) and very clean. There is road noise as the park is lower than the highway and there is night time truck traffic. Not bad with closed windows, but a month earlier we had windows open and it was disruptive. Pull through graveled sites were fairly level so we did not have to unhook.
Date of Stay: November, 2013
This is a nice park. The reviews are accurate. Lots of room, good level sites, great shower. The park is clean with well placed trash cans and is nicely laid out for easy access. The check in process was smooth and the staff very friendly and helpful. Pet friendly park with nice areas for walks and room to play. The dog walk is really cute with lots of hydrants. The highway noise was minor and not noticed when we were in the trailer. We would definitely stay here again. Price paid reflects Good Sam discount.
Date of Stay: November, 2013
No Passport America accepted on weekends. Dogs at shelter barked all night. One poor puppy cried all night, which is even harder to hear. Wanted to go over and rescue it personally. Smelled like sewer outdoors early morning. People drove too fast through grounds with little room between roads and parked RVs. Easy to find from US20. Highway noise moderate and continuous. Friendly staff at check-in. Wi-Fi OK. No cable.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
Love this campground. Our favorite out of a dozen stayed in this trip. Tall pines, lots of room at sites. Good Wi-Fi even in the back corner. Very quiet. A few longer stay guests but well kept and not noticeable. Easy access. Well laid out. Wonderful, caring staff who love what they do. Gravel roads well packed, grassy sites are level and very generous size. Very pet friendly with loads of room for good walks and play. We will go back as it felt like home.

Share the post "GOLDMAN SACHS: 5 TRENDS THAT WILL RESULT IN A WEAK RECOVERY"
The latest from Goldman's Chief Economist, Jan Hatzius, is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the stock market (see their 2010 outlook here & their top trades for 2010 here). Hatzius says the recovery is likely to continue to be very slow and that unemployment is likely to spike higher in the near-term accompanied by little to no inflation. Hatzius claims that the second half recovery in 2009 was entirely driven by the stimulus and inventory restocking. In other words, it is nothing to get excited about as neither are sustainable trends. What concerns Hatzius most going forward are 5 continuing negative trends:
1. Continued saving by households
2. Weak labor income
3. Fiscal drag from states and local governments
4. Vacant homes and unused industrial capacity resulting in low private sector investment
5. Limited credit availability
Although the labor markets are showing signs of improvement in recent weeks Hatzius sees a continuing "jobless recovery" and persistent weakness into 2011. He is calling for a climb in the unemployment rate from the current level of 9.7% to 10.5%. He continues to believe inflation will remain well below trend and that the Fed is on hold for the remainder of 2010 AND 2011.
Based on this data Goldman is now calling for just 1.5% growth in GDP in the second half of 2010.

Perhaps its already been discussed here before , but ... what is the proceedure for breaking in a new leather holster that's a bit tight?
Wrap the gun once in wax paper, wax side "out", shove in holster overnight, and the next day, say, 100 practice draws or so. Welcome! Had a CPX myself once.
Also ........... wear it - and wear it ....... and wear it!!!
While the aforementioned wax paper deal sure helps - IMO also actually wearing it much as possible will also help slightly soften it and mould it to your belt and form.
Broke mine in over time. I found that rabbit hunting with the ole' carry pistol is great for drawing and holstering, which breaks that puppy in. >:)
Just use it....don't try to speed up the break in process or you may find yourself with a holster that does not retain your weapon securely... a SMALL amount of silicone spray on the interior of the holster will help smoothining up the first few drawers without excessively streching out the leather....the more you use it the faster it will break in....again do not attempt to accelerate the break in process. Quality leather takes time to break in.
(nowadays everyone's in a hurry)
Wear and practice your draw. If it is REALLY tight, you can do the wax paper wrap trick. An old stocking works well too. I would avoid putting anything on the leather, UNLESS instructed to do so by the maker.
The straight scoop? Wear it and use it! :hand10:
I recently bought a Desantis OWB leather holster. The recommendation that came with the holster said to NEVER use any leather softeners or "break-in" fluids on the holster.
They stated that if the fit was to tight, to place your weapon in a dress sock and then in the holster for a day or so. I followed that suggestion, being careful that there were no wrinkles in the sock around the gun, and now have a nice fit.
Thanx for all the advice. It's greatly appreciated!

In the best Michael Buffer fashion, "Let's get ready to rumble!!!"
Republicans came out sparring, jabbing and swinging in the Las Vegas, Nevada debate on Tuesday night!
In moves that will only hurt the Republican Party in the 2012 election, unfortunately there was some hitting below the belt as well.
While it is fine to question a man or a woman's positions on the issues, the line should be drawn for the Republican contenders at questioning integrity.
At the end of the day one of these people will be the Republican nominee and the others need to be ready, willing and able to get behind the winner 100%. In a credible way.
This to achieve the ultimate goal of winning back the White House and saving the country from a second Obama term.
So in the true Las Vegas tradition, what are the odds for each of the contestants to win the Republican nomination for the 2012 presidential election?
And what are the odds that the winner will beat Barack Obama?
These odds will change over time as odds will with the ebbs and flows of each campaign, but at this moment in time, here they are.
Who will be the Republican candidate in the 2012 presidential election?

Help wanted: the city of Brainerd takes a harder look at unemployment
Unemployment rates. It's been a topic of conversation across the United States and the state of Minnesota the past few years, and a concern many in Crow Wing County and Brainerd have had a heavy dose of, too. A concern that a group of varying local, regional and state organization members attempted to address and strived to fix during Monday night's meeting at Central Lakes College, focused solely on discussion of Brainerd's unemployment and possible solutions.
"It's (unemployment) been a trigger for conversation for us at the (Brainerd Lakes) Chamber for quite awhile," said Lisa Paxton, chief executive officer for Brainerd Lakes Chamber, to a group of roughly 30 consisting of both Brainerd and Baxter City Council members, Brainerd School Board members and other business leaders affected by Monday's discussion. "But what really triggered tonight's (Monday) conversation was that many in the community talk about unemployment and hire rate, they explain that it's always been high and that is just the way it is.
"But we want to change that way of thinking. We want to find out why it is higher than elsewhere and what can be done about it. So we have assembled a snapshot of contributing factors to employment, or rather unemployment, in Brainerd and want to identify some goal's on how to move beyond it."
Presenting on all facets that contribute to the lower economic status in Crow Wing County and the Brainerd area were:
• Shelia Haverkamp, Brainerd Lakes Area Economic Development Corporation (BLAEDC)
• Trudi Amundson, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development
• Craig Nathan, Minnesota Rural Concentrated Employment (CEP)
• Jennifer Bergman, Housing and Redevelopment Authority in Brainerd
• Jeff Wig, Central Lakes College
• Steve Razidlo, ISD 181 Superintendent
Listed recently as having the highest unemployment in the state with a jobless rate of 13.3 percent in December and a 14.9 percent in January, Haverkamp said that between 2000-2010 Crow Wing County actually saw a five percent increase in job growth.
"There are more than 27,000 jobs in Crow Wing County and roughly 10,000 in Brainerd," Haverkamp said, noting that 38 percent of those available jobs in Brainerd are in education and health services. "But because there are so many seasonal jobs in the city of Brainerd at the same time, Brainerd actually saw a job loss in that time of (county job) growth."
A minor contributing factor, often reflected during the winter months unemployment statistics, the amount of seasonal job opportunities available in the area along with the number of people that retire to the lakes area and are no longer working tend to skew some of the statistics collected. But as is yin and yang, the tourist attraction of the area also can be attributed to the reason some of the numbers are skewed in the area's favor.
"If you remove the lakes, we're (Crow Wing County) one of the ten poorest counties in the state," said Rural Minnesota CEP Manager Craig Nathan. "Those people are coming and building and buying homes and help bring that poverty level up a little bit."
And while a negative light in unemployment rates tends to shine heavily on Brainerd, Trudi Amundson of Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development Corporation said that many of the statistics collected through the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development reflect on the entire zip code 56401, which extends beyond the city of Brainerd. A piece of information that when presented to the group, let out a sigh of relief.
"It's almost a relief to hear that the unemployment is higher than the rest in Brainerd because it deals with (zip code) 56401," said Brainerd City Council President Mary Koep. "I am happy to know it's not just Brainerd that is struggling immensely with this issue."
But still the question remains why. Why is Brainerd in such a high unemployment state? Following the presenters and a brief question and answer session, people in attendance broke up into five groups to try and answer just that.
"Looking at some of the data, you see that there is a large gap as far as required skills goes," said Wig, speaking on behalf of his group. "We have many applicants for a position and few have the transferable skills needed for the job."
And for the under-educated applicants — with 44 percent of those unemployed in the area having just a high school education on top of the 37 percent with less than a high school education according to Nathan and the Work Force Center — missing the necessary intellectual skills, there is also a large number of older people missing necessary skills to rejoin the workforce in the area.
"For older people who suddenly find themselves out of work, there is an issue in them not having the necessary technological and computer skills often needed in today's job market," said Don Hickman, Vice President for Community and Economic Development at the Initiative Foundation, who led the group conversations. "It's a lot harder to teach an old dog new tricks where this young pups can learn and have learned a lot of those skills."
Another potential factor as identified by one of the groups is the possibility that being one of the largest out-state towns and with the high amount of low-income housing available, the attraction for lower income families remains there.
And while discussion and ideas flowed throughout the two hour session, Nathan said the problem is more complex than something that will be solved overnight.
"I think there is a huge disconnect between the data presented and the reality," said Nathan. "No matter how much data we get, we still have an unemployment problem. I'm not saying we won't have a problem if we come up with a solution to potentially solve some of the high rates we have in the area, but we all have our data to try and figure it out, but it's an extremely complex problem.
"The real problem is that we need to figure out all the characteristics of unemployment and first lower those and then maybe we will see a lower unemployment rate."
The Initiative Foundation will be granting $10,000 to Brainerd to further address the problem.

For much of this election cycle, the assumption has been that foreign policy, specifically Iraq, would be the dominant issue on the campaign trail. Then, for a while, immigration had voters fixated, and in recent weeks, the economy has taken center stage.
But if Barack Obama ends up the Democratic nominee, the issue on which the election may well turn is one that few initially expected to arise: affirmative action, which, of course, means race.
Affirmative action continues to be among the most divisive issues in America — no wonder, since our country's tragic racial history is complex and the issues surrounding its legacy are far from simple. As Slate blogger Mickey Kaus recently noted, affirmative action was the issue that handed the closely contested 1990 North Carolina Senate race to Jesse Helms. Helms ran an ad against Harvey Gantt, his black opponent, which featured a close-up shot of two hands holding a letter and then crumpling it as a narrator said, "You needed that job, and you were the best qualified. But they had to give it to a minority."
Ever since, in nearly every instance voters have been given the chance to eliminate affirmative action, they've taken the opportunity — in referenda in states from California to Michigan. So we should have expected that, when a black candidate started winning presidential contests, the issue would rear its head.
In many respects, it's unfair to Obama's candidacy that this is even an issue. As the candidate himself has said, "If you were going to get a handbook on what's the path to the presidency, I don't think that the handbook would start by saying, 'Be an African-American named Barack Obama.' " And one doesn't get to be the president of the Harvard Law Review, much less a senator, by virtue of special favors.
But because Obama is black, the issue is out there. It doesn't help that it's being raised by mainstream pols, like former vice-presidential nominee and Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro, who said, "If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," the position being ahead in the race.
It's also sport for discussion because of Obama's consistently weak showings among white, working-class voters. To at least a sizable number of these voters, fair or not, Obama appears to be a candidate who's getting special treatment because of his race. According to polls, affirmative action is particularly unpopular in the Latino community, which is one reason why Obama may be faring so poorly with that constituency. And it's not going to help electoral matters, as far as he's concerned, that a conservative group hopes to put the issue of banning affirmative action on the ballot in November in at least five more states, including the swing states of Colorado and Missouri.
Path of least resistance
Part of the problem here is due to Obama's meteoric rise. The Illinois senator simply doesn't have the experience in the trenches of someone who working-class voters would likely think of as a commander in chief. If Obama had spent, say, a decade in the Senate, the hunch here is that most of these suspicions wouldn't arise. Similarly, if he'd taken a route more familiar to these voters — say he'd been a star college athlete, worked his way out of the projects, or served in the military — he'd better fit the image of what they see as the path to upward mobility.

My flat is located at the bottom of the Montjuic mountain and close to the port of Barcelona, in a centric neighbourhood called Poble Sec. The flat is located at the end of the street whose last block has a bit of steepness, and it's on the REAL THIRD FLOOR with no lift (attention big luggage), has two rooms, one is for you and the studio/single room is for me. You will be sharing the flat only with me and my cat. I speak English, French and Portuguese, so we will be able to communicate somehow!!
• 1.40m double bed. High quality mattress (viscoeslastic).
• Storage space in shelves and two free spaces in the closet, hanging drawers.
• Glass chamber window to minimize external noise (the area is already quiet).
• Central heating in winter and ventilator in summer.
• Bed linen, duvet, pillows and two towels per person.
• Relaxed and quiet environment in the whole flat.
• You can see Sagrada Familia at the distance.
• City map and touristic informations.
• Hairdryer in the bathroom.
As I said, the location is very centric, so you can reach the Ramblas and Gothic quarter in 15-20 min by foot and also to the Miró Foundation and the castle. Other Gaudi attractions can be reached by metro. The nearest Metro station is Paral.lel (5-8 minutes by walk from the flat) where you have 2 Metro lines (the L2 green and L3 violet) which take you within a short time to other interesting places of Barcelona. In this station you can also take the cableway to the top of the Montjuïc to visit the castle.
If you come to Barcelona for a congress or to the tradefair you will be within 15 minutes by walk or 10 minutes by metro at Fira and the Congress Palace in the Avenida Reina Maria Cristina. In the area you can also find little shops and quite an awesome selection of nice bars and restaurants.
FROM THE AIRPORT (Barcelona): You can take the AEROBUS from T1 and T2, €5,90 single and €10,20 return (this last one is valid for 9 days). You get off at Plaza España and take the Metro line 2 (green), get off at Paralel station, take the Ronda de Sant Pau exit. From there, walking distance to my flat is about 5-8m.
You can also take the PUBLIC BUS line 46, €2 single, and get off at the last stop next to Plaza España. Walking distance from there to my flat is about 10-15m. If you are not too loaded with luggage, this is definitely your choice of value for money. Taxi may cost €27-30 approx.
FROM THE AIRPORT (Girona): there is a bus service leaving the Girona airport with good frequency. It takes 1h aprox and it arrives at Estacio del Nord. The metro is in front of the station, Red line L1 Hospital de Bellvitge direction, you get off at Universitat and change to Purple line L2 Paralel direction, you then get off at Paralel. There are 2 exits, take Ronda de Sant Pau:
From there you have 5-8min walk to my flat, it is pretty straight forward.
Please RING ME when you are about to take either options from the airports so I can organize myself.
Please also read the HOUSE GUIDELINES. :-)
Правила ПроживанияDEPOSIT OF €50 (in case of damages or loss of keys, etc): it will be returned to you before your departure.
I really prefer having Guests from 25 years old, but if you are younger and can assure me you have good manners and will not make party or hiddenly smoke and drink, then you are more than welcome!!
On your arrival day when you reach the building where my flat is, please DO NOT RING OTHER NEIGHBOURS FLATS. Please read carefully my complete address and act accordingly. Also please be careful with THE STAIRCASE WHEN CARRYING YOUR SUITCASES UP so as to avoid disturbing my neighbours specially at some hours of the day!!
You are not allowed to SMOKE in the flat, not even in the stairs of the building please, this could be anoying for my neighbours. Or to have visitors or to make party.
Sorry to be so picky but I need your help in keeping a good relationship with my neighbours. Thank you very much!! :-)
Detailed little House Recommendations are listed in a paper in your room. Please read them. Thank you.
Gay friendly.

Спасибо Janeth. Отличная квартира, отличная комната, отличные условия для неприхотливого путешественника! Минус одна звезда: просьба не пользоваться душем после 23:00, а для нас это очень актуально оказалось, так как мы заселились после полуночи, и возвращались в комнату ближе к полуночи.
Cosy, clean, tiny flat, beautifully situated in the centre and rather quiet. Janeth was a discrete, friendly woman. She respected our privacy.
Public transport was nearby and discovering Barcelona was fantastic.
We had great days here and we want to recommend this site to others.

Saskia and Louise
Dear Janeth, thank your for providing your home as described. Susi and I enjoyed staying. It was very quiet over night. Your appartment is close to city center. Little shops are close by.
Susi loved your cats.
We had have around 10°C in Jan 15-17 and sunny days. Just perfect for the city. Thanks for organizing ;-).
Bying the BCN Express or BCN Card was not a good option since lots of things you can be walked from Janeths place.
We are extremly satisfied with the service and the location. Janeth is a very friendly and helpful host. - It can't be better.
We stayed 4 days in Janeths very nice apartment. We enjoyed every moment there. The apartment is placed in the center of Barcelona. Lots of restautants nearby.

The Project is an integral part of Georgia's power sector development plan and the selected components are under GSE's investment priorities. The project objective is to enhance regional power trade by (i) rehabilitating and improving 11 existing substations, and (ii) constructing a new substation.
The project impact will be the contribution to expanding Georgia's power trade in the Caucasus region. Net power exports are expected to increase from 10% of domestic power generation (2011) to 20% by 2019. The project outcome will be a reliable, stable and efficient power operation system to meet increasing demand for power export and transit.
The project outputs consist of the following components:
(i) Substation rehabilitation and improvement. Rehabilitate 11 existing substations by installing modern digital control and relay protection systems to achieve full functions of the existing supervisory control and data acquisition system and energy management system for efficient power dispatching operation.
(ii) Khorga substation. Construct a new 220/110 kV substation with 220 kV and 110 kV line bays and associated equipment.
(iii) Project supervision and management. Provide assistance to GSE for project supervision and management.
(iv) Study of potential hydropower investment projects. Help the government conduct necessary feasibility studies and due diligence assessments of safeguards on future potential hydropower investment projects.
|Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
Sector Overview: Georgia has made significant progress in energy sector reforms over the past ten years to address the chronic power shortages and the poor financial condition of electricity companies. Since 2007, the levels of generation production have surpassed the annual demand, due to rehabilitation of existing HPPs, improvement in the efficiency of energy use, and reductions in losses. Currently, Georgia has power trade with Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Armenia. In 2010, Georgia exported 1.5 TWh of electricity power, accounting for 15% of the country's total electricity generation.
The Government has launched a large hydropower investment promotion campaign since 2008 and a number of concession agreements for HPP construction have been awarded. It is estimated that an additional 1,400 MW of new HPPs by 2016-2017 can be added to the existing 2,510 MW of HPPs, providing an additional 3.8 TWh of capacity available for export at an economic value to Georgia of $300 million per year. Of Georgia's potential export markets, Turkey is the most attractive given its summer peak in demand, projected capacity shortfalls and high market prices . There is also the possibility for transit trade from Azerbaijan and Armenia to Turkey. Through the power transit in Turkey, it is expected that the rich energy resources in the Caucasus could eventually be exported to the European market. Georgia could therefore act as a regional hub for energy dispatch and transit through the Caucasus area.
Key Problems and Constraints: To develop the hydropower potential and expand power export, and especially to attract private sector capital for these investments, two critical technical issues need to be resolved: (i) ensuring the stability, reliability, and efficiency of Georgia's power transmission system, and (ii) enlarging the transmission capacity and providing market access to the most promising export markets for surplus power. There is also a significant generation-load regional imbalance within the Georgian power system: two-thirds of Georgia's energy resource is located in the Northwest, while two thirds of the domestic demand is located in eastern Georgia. Additionally most of the potential export market is located in the south of Georgia. The major potential export market, i.e. Turkey, is experiencing rapid growth in electricity demand. Other countries such as Armenia and Azerbaijan whilst experiencing modest or indeed at times zero demand growth, are likely to avail of a relatively cheap supply of hydro-energy from Georgia to augment and indeed offset thermal and thermal-nuclear power generation. Power delivery to these markets requires a reliable high voltage transmission network.
To accelerate the hydropower development, the Government also requested ADB to consider financing a run-of-the-river HPP with a capacity of 40-50 MW in 2012. The generated power will be required to meet the increased demand of domestic water utilities due to rehabilitation and expansion of water supply system . Part of the generation may be exported to neighboring countries. After screening potential project sites and conducting pre-feasibility studies, the government will officially propose that ADB finance the HPP.
Sector Policy and Priorities: The government recognizes that the development priority for power is the effective development and utilization of rich hydropower resources. The energy sector policy has a strong focus on (i) efficient utilization of power resources; (ii) rehabilitation of existing generation, transmission, and distribution facilities; (iii) interconnection with neighboring countries to promote energy trade, including transit; and (iv) attraction of investment and privatization. Due to its geographic location, the government aims to establish Georgia to act as a transit country for import export and transit operations of energy carriers in the Caucasus region. This will move the Caucasus countries closer to establishing a regional power market to facilitate flexible and mutually profitable cross-border energy exchanges. It will eventually result in regional energy resources being used in an efficient and environment-friendly way.
Due to the geographic location of Georgia, the Government wishes Georgia to act as a transit country in import-export and transit operations of energy carriers in the Caucasus region. This will move the Caucasus countries closer towards establishing a regional power market which facilitates flexible and mutually profitable cross-border energy exchanges. It will eventually result in regional energy resources being used in an efficient and environment-friendly way.
ADB's Operations and Sector Strategy: Under its long-term strategic framework, Strategy 2020, ADB will exploit the great promise that regional cooperation activities offer for accelerating economic growth. ADB will assist its member countries realize growth through integration and closer links with their neighbors. The Project is in line with the ADB's Strategy for Georgia, which focuses on upgrading and developing energy infrastructure and enhancing regional energy trade through development Caucasus regional energy market.
ADB has no lending operations in the energy sector yet and the Project provides a unique opportunity for ADB to enter the energy sector. Presently, the Government funding is not sufficient on the scale needed for expansion and rehabilitation of the power system. ADB's involvement can not only contribute to fill the funding gap but also enhance private sector's confidence in the power sector investment. In addition, the Project will complement with other ADB support for the infrastructures including the development of transport and water sectors.
ADB will work with the Government and development partners to improve the structural, legal and regulatory framework needed to attract private sector funding in the sector. Development partners, including the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), European Investment Bank, European Union, the German development cooperation through KfW, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the World Bank, and the European Union, recognize Georgia's vast renewable energy potential and the country's prospect to become a regional power trading hub that capitalizes on the unique geographic location. Substantial progress in the sector reforms and strong improvements in the efficiency of power sector operations were achieved in recent years. This has generated strong commitment among the donor community to continue supporting the sector through project finance, institutional reforms and capacity building.

I'm now in Shanghai, which is further down the East coast of China, as you can see from the map. We flew here very early on Friday morning and spent the last three days wandering and exploring this beautiful city. I'm still not able to post any pictures for you, so I'll post a lot when I get to Taiwan in a few days.
I've seen some amazing buildings in Shanghai, like the Pearl Tower, and the Jin Mao Tower - can anyone find pictures of them online?
The food here in China is delicious! It's nothing like Chinese food that we eat in Canada - although they do have a lot of rice and noodles
I had a question about if there are lots of bikes here, and the answer is YES! There are so many bikes everywhere! Almost more bikes than cars sometimes! The guy who collects the recylcing does it on a bike, the taxis are usually bikes with a seat or two on the back, the people who deliver food deliver it on bikes.....there are millions of them!
The internet is very very slow so I'll write more to you later!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
The Pearl Tower is 1,535 feet tall, and yes! You can go to the top of it just like the CN Tower! We didn't do that though, because Shanghai is such a beautiful city from the ground.

Wieland or the Transformation HTML version
Chapter 8
As soon as evening arrived, I performed my visit. Carwin made one of the company, into
which I was ushered. Appearances were the same as when I before beheld him. His garb
was equally negligent and rustic. I gazed upon his countenance with new curiosity. My
situation was such as to enable me to bestow upon it a deliberate examination. Viewed at
more leisure, it lost none of its wonderful properties. I could not deny my homage to the
intelligence expressed in it, but was wholly uncertain, whether he were an object to be
dreaded or adored, and whether his powers had been exerted to evil or to good.
He was sparing in discourse; but whatever he said was pregnant with meaning, and
uttered with rectitude of articulation, and force of emphasis, of which I had entertained no
conception previously to my knowledge of him. Notwithstanding the uncouthness of his
garb, his manners were not unpolished. All topics were handled by him with skill, and
without pedantry or affectation. He uttered no sentiment calculated to produce a
disadvantageous impression: on the contrary, his observations denoted a mind alive to
every generous and heroic feeling. They were introduced without parade, and
accompanied with that degree of earnestness which indicates sincerity.
He parted from us not till late, refusing an invitation to spend the night here, but readily
consented to repeat his visit. His visits were frequently repeated. Each day introduced us
to a more intimate acquaintance with his sentiments, but left us wholly in the dark,
concerning that about which we were most inquisitive. He studiously avoided all mention
of his past or present situation. Even the place of his abode in the city he concealed from
Our sphere, in this respect, being somewhat limited, and the intellectual endowments of
this man being indisputably great, his deportment was more diligently marked, and
copiously commented on by us, than you, perhaps, will think the circumstances
warranted. Not a gesture, or glance, or accent, that was not, in our private assemblies,
discussed, and inferences deduced from it. It may well be thought that he modelled his
behaviour by an uncommon standard, when, with all our opportunities and accuracy of
observation, we were able, for a long time, to gather no satisfactory information. He
afforded us no ground on which to build even a plausible conjecture.
There is a degree of familiarity which takes place between constant associates, that
justifies the negligence of many rules of which, in an earlier period of their intercourse,
politeness requires the exact observance. Inquiries into our condition are allowable when
they are prompted by a disinterested concern for our welfare; and this solicitude is not
only pardonable, but may justly be demanded from those who chuse us for their
companions. This state of things was more slow to arrive on this occasion than on most
others, on account of the gravity and loftiness of this man's behaviour.

1173 reasons why John McCain says: I'm not too old to become
REPUBLICAN White House hopeful John McCain, 71, has no medical impediment to serving as president, his doctors said as his campaign released health records to defuse questions about his age.
Despite surviving bouts of skin cancer and the lingering effects of Vietnam War wounds, physicians said McCain was in excellent health and showed "extraordinary energy".
The Arizona senator, who turns 72 in August, would be the oldest president ever inaugurated for a first term. Age issues are likely to surface in the election campaign, especially if he faces a much younger Democratic opponent in Barack Obama, 46.
Victor Trastek of the Mayo Clinic in Arizona detailed McCain's medical history in a 1173-page statement distributed by the Republican senator's campaign.
"While it is impossible to predict any person's future health, today I can find no medical reason or problems that would preclude Senator McCain from fulfilling all the duties and obligations of president of the United States," Dr Trastek wrote.
The Arizona senator has had four malignant melanomas removed but no recurrence of skin cancer since 2002, the clinic said.
Senator McCain had surgery for an invasive melanoma on his left temple in 2000, which scarred the side of his face. He has a skin examination every three to four months.
He takes medication to lower cholesterol and prevent kidney stones, and uses aspirin to halt blood clots, the doctors said.
The senator also has a decreased range of movement in his arms, shoulders and right knee, the legacy of injuries sustained when his plane was shot down and he was tortured during 5 years in a Hanoi prison.
The medical records were released the day before a Memorial Day holiday weekend, in an apparent attempt to lessen media coverage.
The spotlight will probably shift to Senator McCain's meeting this weekend at his Arizona ranch with several possible vice-presidential contenders.
Before his records were released, the senator rejected the endorsement of a second evangelical minister, Pastor Rod Parsley, who reportedly called Islam "the mouthpiece of a conspiracy of spiritual evil".
"I believe there is no place for that kind of dialogue in America ... I repudiate such talk, and I reject his endorsement," Senator McCain said.
On Thursday he also disavowed Texas pastor John Hagee, who said the Nazis had done God's will by chasing Jews from Europe.Source: The Sun-Herald

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- After the long four-day US Open National Playoffs event, former Lady Vol and All-American tennis player Caitlin Whoriskey booked her trip to the US Open Qualifying Tournament with a comeback win over Michaela Gordon.
As the field of 16 began to shrink, Whoriskey's named continued to remain. The East Sandwich, Mass. native only lost two sets during the entire playoff. During Monday's match, she fell behind Gordon quickly after losing the first set 6-2, but she bounced back strong to win the match 2-6, 6-2, 6-1 and claim the wild card.
"Starting off, today was not my best," Whoriskey said. "I was pressing a bit too much, and I was missing here and there, but I settled down during the second and third sets. I am just really happy."
Whoriskey began her journey to the US Open back in mid-June after winning the UTSA New England Sectional Qualifier.
"I had to win the regional tournament first," Whoriskey said. "Since then, I have been really focusing on my fitness. I have been working hard the past couple of weeks by trying to do double the workouts and giving it all that I can."
This isn't the first big win for Whoriskey, though. Back in late May, she won both the singles and doubles championship at the Head/First Federal Women's Tournament held in Hilton Head Island, S.C., followed that up by advancing to the Women's Hospital Classic Finals in Evansville, Ind., where she fell just short in the third set.
Winning was the main goal and focus for Whoriskey, but it means more to her than just that.
"I get to fulfill a dream of playing in a Grand Slam," Whoriskey said. "I get to go down and start playing in the qualifier, which starts tomorrow in New York. It's an incredible feeling, and I am super happy with the hard work that I have put in over the last year. I feel like I am on cloud nine."
By advancing to the US Open Qualifying Tournament, held Aug. 19-22 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, Whoriskey is given a chance to earn a spot in the main draw of the 2014 US Open. She needs to win three matches in qualifying to reach the main draw.

2400 E 17th StColumbus, IN
What we want for our patients are fewer interventions and better long-term survival odds, achieved through effective control of the disease. We get that by using today's best technology and pharmacological advances, delivered with an understanding, human touch. Smart, compassionate people who know what you're going through and want the very best for you are who you'll find, ready to help, at the Cancer Center. It all adds up to great cancer care, right here in Columbus.
A cancer diagnosis is stressful and life changing. Our staff understands this. So, there is no staff member here that isn't enthusiastically committed to meeting your emotional, educational, and social needs; helping you progress from learning of your diagnosis, to learning about your diagnosis and how we will work together going forward. You'll know what you need to do to help your cause, and you'll know that we will help. Every step of the way.
Our Cancer Center team includes board certified radiation oncologists Kevin McMullen, MD, and John Cox, MD, and medical oncologists Stephanie Wagner, MD, and Anita Conte, MD, along with board certified radiation physicists, certified oncology nurses and certified radiation therapists. These experienced cancer specialists are also supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes nurse navigators, a registered dietitian, a full-time oncology pharmacist, and a social worker.
As specialists in our field, we have long been focused on studying and achieving the best results possible when it comes to cancer care. Treatment at our facility rivals any you might find in a larger metropolitan area, but gives you the advantage of having the people who love and support you close at hand. Staying close to home can also reduce the burden for you that repeated travel can become during a trying time. In short, we're state-of-the-art and easy to get to.
The continuous care model we employ means that a single team of doctors and healthcare personnel work with a patient throughout the entire treatment and recovery process.
Free valet parking is available for our patients and visitors when they arrive at the main hospital entrance at 2400 East 17th Street. It's a small thing we can do to make things a little easier for you.
Throughout a patient's care here, a registered dietitian will provide consultations, assessments, and ongoing education to achieve the nutritional needs of a body that's fighting cancer.
An activity coordinator on staff sees to it that patients' lives are enhanced with plenty of rehabilitative activities to choose from at the Cancer Center.
Early detection of cancer significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. On behalf of everyone in this community, The Cancer Center hosts a variety of screening events annually.
We are accredited by the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer. Approval by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) is given only to facilities that have voluntarily committed to provide the best cancer diagnoses and treatment. (Only one in four Cancer Centers nationwide receives this recognition.) A comprehensive list of cancer-related services the Commission on Cancer accredits us for can be seen here.
In 2015, the Cancer Center began
offering patients another state-of-the-art
option for cancer
treatment in the form of a new
radiation therapy machine.
The Varian TrueBeam linear
accelerator is an innovative
image-guided radiotherapy
machine that offers advanced
stereotactic body radiation
treatment, and it is one of
only three in use in Indiana
hospitals. The TrueBeam, using 3-D imaging, precisely aims radiation beams from multiple angles
and at varying intensities to attack its target. It is designed to deliver the lowest dose possible to the surrounding healthy tissue, while still sending the maximum dose to the tumor. The TrueBeam allows for effective cancer treatment that lets the patient remain close to home, especially in the treatment of challenging cases, such as cancers of the lung, breast, abdomen, and head and neck, as well as other cancers that are treatable with radiotherapy.
State-of-the-art High Energy Linear Accelerators are used to deliver intensity-modulated radiation therapy. We were the first cancer center in Southern Indiana to offer this innovative therapy to treat patients needing radiation for cancer treatment. Our Radiation Department is staffed by two Board Certified Radiation Oncologists and two Radiation Physicists. They are supported by the rest of the team available to help navigate patients and their families through the treatment program.
Our Medical Oncology department is staffed by two board certified Medical/Hematology Oncologists. They are complemented by a team of support staff who help navigate the patient and their family through the phases of their treatment and follow-up care.
Our registered dietitian provides a nutrition assessment, consults and provides patient education.
Our oncology social worker assesses a patient's needs in order to provide an individualized cancer care program that addresses the physical and emotional needs of the patient and family.
In our quest to put an end to cancer, we offer free community screenings, education and reduced fee mammograms for those who qualify.

Cancer rehabilitation is just one more way we are working to provide you with the highest quality care when you need it; before, during and after cancer treatment.
Insurance Coverage — Most cancer rehabilitation services are reimbursed by health insurance providers, including Medicare. We will work with your insurance provider to determine your benefits and coordinate any pre-certification needs.
Cancer Center oncologist Kevin McMullen, MD, discusses the advanced cancer treatment options available at Columbus Regional Health and the importance these tools play in survivorship. "From the time the patient first walks in the door, we need to be thinking about that patient as a cancer survivor," he said, "and we need to be thinking about the footprint of the therapy we leave behind."

FDU men overcome Monmouth in penalties, 4-3
WEST HAVEN, Conn. The second-seed Fairleigh Dickinson men won a penalty kick shootout against Monmouth University in the Northeast Conference semifinal match on Friday.
The Knights played Monmouth to a 1-1 tie before prevailing in the shootout, 4-3.
FDU (8-5-5) advanced them to Sundays championship match against fourth-seeded Saint Francis (Pa.), which defeated top-seed Quinnipiac in penalties, 4-3. Monmouth finished at 11-4-4. They will meet at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
Freshman Jan Aubert converted the Knights fifth penalty kick to advance FDU to the championship match for the second consecutive year and the 12th time in history.
Monmouth shot first in the penalty kick shootout and Joseph Schmid beat goalkeeper Jacob Lissek to give the Hawks a 1-0 lead. FDU tied it right up as senior Jack McVey found the back of the net.
Lissek turned the advantage in the Knights favor as he made a save diving to his left to keep the shootout tied at one. Nicholas Walker stepped up for FDU and put the Knights up, 2-1.
After the Hawks third shot hit the right post, Anders Vest-Hansen gave the Knights a 3-1 lead, which was then cut to 3-2.
With a chance to win the shootout, senior Antony Moores shot was saved by Blackburn, giving Monmouth a chance to tie match, which it did.
With the shootout tied at 3-3, Aubert nailed the shot to advance the Knights to the final.
In the first half, the Knights were the more aggressive team and had opportunities early on but could score. In the 39th minute, freshman Simon Doherty was in the right place at the right time to give FDU a 1-0 lead. A Monmouth defender passed back to goalkeeper Alex Blackburn, who missed the ball as he was going to kick it, rolling to an open Doherty for the put back and his third goal of the season.
Monmouth came out on fire in the second half and equalized in the 51st minute off a free kick. Emmanuel Agyemang got the ball in the penalty kick and blasted a shot at junior goalkeeper Jacob Lissek, who made a save. The rebound bounced back to Agyemange, who scored on a tap-in.
FDU had its best opportunity of the second half in the 71st minute. After a corner kick, Walker headed the ball towards the goal, which was deflected away by Blackburn. A Monmouth defender kept the ball from going in.
After the save, the ball went to Vest-Hansen, whose shot was saved by Blackburn.
Heading into the first overtime period with an 11-10 shot advantage, FDU got off two quick ones in the box, which were blocked by the Monmouth defense. Early in the 97th minute, Aubert had a shot saved by Blackburn, and junior David Cornwell just missed ending the match with seven seconds left in overtime, but his shot went just wide to the right.

Man Arrested After Allegedly Chasing Children with a Knife
RED BLUFF, Calif. - A Red Bluff man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after witnesses said a man was chasing children with a knife.
Police officers were dispatched to the area of Franklin Street at Cedar Street in Red Bluff after callers reported that a Hispanic man tried to steal a dog from a home.
Shortly after the initial call, dispatchers received additional reports stating that a man was chasing children with a knife in an alley near Cedar Street.
When officers arrived they found 22-year-old Timothy Robbins. Red Bluff Police Sergeant Michael Graham said Robbins is on active probation in the Post Release Community Supervision program.
According to police, Robbins did not have a knife on him but they said he was being uncooperative and acting very "fidgety" and "abnormal."
No one was injured during the incident. Robbins was taken to the Tehama County Jail.

Ok so this happened to me earlier when I did a dual boot with the RC and Windows Vista.
Basically, I did a clean install and was installing all the programs I use regularly (firefox, thunderbird, picasa, vlc, etc) when after one of the restarts after I type in my password it "hangs" on the Welcome screen for Windows 7 RC. Mouse I get the "waiting" spinning circle. The first time I did a system restore, and installed program by program. The last program was Picasa, and since it restarted fine I didn't install it out of superstition.
Just a little bit ago I was not able to start again, and it hung at the Welcome screen once again.
I can only restart after manually turning off the computer, I can restart in Safe Mode under the RC and I've run the Start Up recovery and the memory diagnostics tool under the option to "repair computer," both tests check out fine with no problems detected.
I did a system restore to before I installed updates earlier today, and I still get the hanging welcome screen upon restart.
Right now, I'm typing from the same laptop but in my Vista partition.
I'm wanting to know what I can do to troubleshoot this problem and find a solution.
I was using the RC just fine earlier today at school. I'm using Avast Antivirus on the RC.
I'm going to monitor this over the next 30-40 min. so any spec/actions you want me to do I'll be ready for. Thanks for the help in advance.

We monitor a number of water supplies within the district, in order to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation and guidelines.
Many of the rural and resource zoned properties within the City of Cockburn are not provided with scheme water and must rely on either a rainwater tank, a bore supply or a combination of both. A minimum sized tank of 90,000 litres should be sufficient for most families' water needs, however a larger sized tank will give you more of a reserve during the drier months.
The City's Health Service and Safer Cities Service also recommend installing a 40mm diameter "Cam-lok" coupling at the base of the tank. This will assist in flushing the tank during cleaning as well as providing a water source for firefighters in an emergency.
Please ensure that the coupling is positioned such that a vehicle can gain easy access to the fitting (ie a "Landcruiser" sized vehicle must be able to park next to the tank and fitting).
Health Services has an ongoing sampling program in place, whereby the microbiological component of potable water is analysed at a number of public premises within the City.
Please note that the City does not test scheme water. Any queries regarding this should be directed to the Water Corporation, ph 13 13 85.
Read the Rain Tank Safety brochure or the Water Filter Safety brochure for information.
The City's Health Service tests all public swimming pools and spas within the City to check water safety.
We sample each month to ensure compliance with the Health (Aquatic Facilities) Regulations 2007 and the Code of Practice for the Design, Construction, Operation, Management and Maintenance of Aquatic Facilities.
Amoebic Meningitis is a serious disease which is often associated with unclean water.
You can read the Amoebic Meningitis brochure for more information.
Sampling within Jervoise Bay is conducted each month to assess the impact of stormwater runoff, industry, nutrient loading and the northern breakwater extension on the bay.
Samples are collected from several sites within Jervoise Bay for bacterial analysis, as well as John Graham Reserve beach, Coogee beach and Robbs Jetty dog beach.

|Tamar Heller.
Readers have long been enthralled by the novels of Wilkie Collins, whose The Moonstone is considered the first modern detective novel. This book by Tamar Heller--the most comprehensive study of Collins' work ever written--places Collins within Victorian literary history, showing how his fiction transforms the conventions of the traditionally female genre of the Gothic novel and can be read as a critique of the gender and class distinctions that structured Victorian society. Heller offers an insightful account of the ways in which Collins' work in the female Gothic tradition influenced his characteristic themes and imagery. She also explores how this association with the genres of the Gothic and with controversial "sensation fiction" linked Collins with women writers and literary and social marginality during an era when novel writing was increasingly a male-defined and male-dominated profession. Heller argues that Collins' fictions reflect his own contradictory status as a Victorian writer; his novels focus on the relation of the writer to the literary marketplace and also on the intricate and ambivalent dialectic of masculine literary authority and feminine marginality. This study of Collins makes an original contribution to feminist literary criticism by demonstrating its value for the reexamination of an important male writer. In addition, by exploring the complexity of the relationship of a male writer to a feminine literary tradition, the book breaks new ground in the study of literary influence and in critical discussions of the literary canon.
